I loved Star Wars Jedi Survivor, but I also didn't. What? What? What? What? When I examined Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order, I wrote that it was almost a masterpiece. My evaluation of Jedi Survivor is a little less favourable. Such hatred. For all that it does right, this second chapter of Carl Kestis' journey has several issues that spoiled my enjoyment of what could have, should have, been an experience of pure delight. Some of these are known. If you have followed the buzz surrounding this game at all, you will have a passing awareness of the horrific condition Respawn Entertainment's latest game was released in. To say it was frustrating to experience Jedi Survivor's open-world gameplay at below 30 FPS, frames per second, in the first days after its launch is to state the obvious. Have you tried doing any kind of block-and-attied response window when the frames per second drop from 50 to 30 to 18 in a span of 3 to 5 seconds? And don't even get me started on the DLSS settings. They made this game look like some bland nightmare title running on early 2000s hardware. Speaking of, a further nightmare I had to face involved a launcher formerly known as Origin, though its trice health's down name is now simply a... its quality hasn't been even... marginally improved. Is it a pain to deal with it?  Every update was a fresh challenge, giving me errors and refusing to install based on the claim that I didn't have enough space on my drive. This is a game of over 120 gigabytes. To have it update properly, I had to have as much space free on my SSD as the game install. Or I had to uninstall and re-download it. Care to guess how many times I let that? Launching the game itself was no easy task, funny how that is. Despite the fact that I had the game in my library, EA would often tell me that I was unauthorized to use the copy installed. For some such nonsense. Funny how that works. But hey, you get the game to work and it starts off great! Respawn hits it off with this extended sequence in the depths of Coruscant, replete with high-stakes, stunning vistas and a dastardly senator, whose self-interest is the stuff of legends. An old friend shows up, Carl makes a new friend and he's apparently made a whole lot more while the audience hasn't been looking. Sure, they all die within 30 seconds of our introduction to them, but I was already invested so the gut punch Respawn wanted to deliver. It worked. Getting away from Coruscant is fun in tow with our new friend, who alone among all the friends has survived. Only this getaway damages the Mantis, and so it's time to go running to yet another old friend with the hope of getting a fixer-upper. It's a good premise, the kind that quickly got me invested into what was going on. The story of Carl Kester's is this game's greatest strength. It's clear that he has been struggling since the Mantis' crew went on their own separate ways. Santa, let's hope this information does some good. We did it. His arrival to Kobo, the planet on which Greece is not, lives as the beginning of a journey of rediscovery for Carl. He'll build up new relationships, a whole new community of them, while repairing old ones. He'll do that thing that Jedi always do, where his compassion results in at least three boss battles. As is the way. Since I'm telling you about Kobo, I might as well point out how bad some of the optional boss battles you can walk in on are, especially early on in the game. Actually, it's crunched out, they don't get better. The Ogdu-Bogdu boss battle of the previous game was a thing to load. This one has rank calls and Ogdos spawn, which will kill you in two, three hits, if you're lucky.  Whoever designed these, whoever approved these, should reconsider some life changes. Maybe practice alcoholism instead of spreading misery among us. I joke, I joke. Don't drink, don't get into alcoholism, unless you can afford it. And really, in this economy, can you? Can you? As to whoever played through these and enjoyed them. All the power to you, friends, for I have none. Not for this stuff. Unless you think it's only the optional boss battles that are monstrous annoyance, let me reassure you. There's a two-stage boss in this game who made me change the difficulty settings. That didn't happen in the previous game. I had more fun with nine sister in Fallen Order than I did with characters like the two-stage boss I mentioned. Dagen Garo, a Fallen Jedi from the exciting, if slightly derpy, high-republic era of Star Wars, makes for some of the most fun lightsaber combat in the game. Dagen Garo has a punchable, stabbable face and voice, which really help. He's one of those corrupt Jedi whose issues are reminiscent of a child's temper tantrum more than anything. I'll let you shape your own value judgments on the lad. Let's get into spoiler territory and discuss the highlights of what I thought was a really well-told story, true to the world and true to the characters, Respawn introduced four years ago. The Jedi Council is long dead and gone. And you know what that means? Our boy's about to get it on! Crows jokes aside, the reconnection and budding romance Carl experiences with Marin on Jedder and beyond is my favorite thing going on in Star Wars. That's a sentence I never told I'd say. This isn't a universe well-known for its romance, but Respawn Entertainment's writers are doing excellent job with these two crazy, fall-sensitive kids. Marin's datamirian witchcraft is always a thrill to watch and its users create the most memorable fight sequences in the game. Do you trust me? Yes, is that for luck? No, right. The most memorable fight sequences in the game, Bar 1. Which one is that, I hear you ask? Could it possibly have something to do with a cape-wearing lord of the Sith? Why yes, how did you know? In what is the most satisfyingly brutal scene in Jedi Survivor, the player is given control over Seer Junda, as she struggles to protect the Jedi archives she has been putting together on Jedder. This excellent scene culminates in a face-off against Darth Vader, actually getting to duel him rather than run away from him at the end of Jedi Fallen Order this time around is such a thrill. It's been a while. I was hoping you drowned on Noor when we blew a hole in your underwater base. It is delusion to think your actions have had any consequence. The fortress stands. The Inquisitorious continues its work. The battle has everything.  Of course she doesn't do that. Because she's a Jedi. All throughout I couldn't help but suspect Vader was only toying with Seer, and the way he finally dispatches her channels there is samurai DNA that plays no small part in old school Star Wars. Following Seer's loss, Colkestis is at his rawest. This makes for some of the strongest moments in Jedi Survivor's narrative. Moments I'll let you experience for yourself. I can't help but feel that Jedi Survivor misses out on an excellent opportunity to show us a few more worlds than it did. Opening on Coruscant is a vibe. But a short one, and unless you're clearing up the map to get every cosmetic and bounty hunting quest out of the way, you really have no reason to come back. Besides, returning there is a bit of a narrative stretch, considering Imperials were pew-pew-pewing at Carl and the Mantis only a few days ago. I would have preferred less of Kobo if it meant that we could visit a few other different environments. What we get to experience outside of it are stations. Imperials, separatists, high republic bases are all very cool, and the different aesthetics are fun. But I wish we saw more unique environments. It's not like Star Wars lacks in those. It is what it was.  Great stormtroopers, dismemberment animations. I love them. Fighting bigger, tougher enemies relegates your lightsaber to something as useful as a club. And that's why the power of fantasy of being an awe-inspiring Jedi takes a cold bath. It's frustrating, so so frustrating that so many types of enemies might as well be made of beskar.  My big pet peeve. Events in Jedi Survivor don't make life for Carl any easier. Late in the game he starts to lose himself by tapping into the dark side, creating some of the most brutal and delightful moments of Jedi murder fun by basically making Carl unstoppable. It's an upgrade on the time slow ability which functions as Carl's ultimate force trick throughout Jedi Survivor. Carl's dark side rage is awesome, until it appears midway through a boss fight. If you don't activate it, you simply die. This, I found out the hard way. As the first time I got the prompt, I refused to click on it, thinking it was a narrative moment and I had some freedom. I get what they were going for by forcing the player to tap into Carl's inner darkness, the narrative function of his wrath and his fury and his loss, but that one moment acted as breaking the illusion of control by giving you this choice, but not making it in fact a choice at all.  However, as I said, it's actually not a choice. There isn't any choice to make. There go my complaint about this small moment. Maybe I'm weird for fixating on it. Maybe someone else was struck by it too. Let me know if that was the case for you in the comments below. As I conclude this write-up, I've got another 6-7 hours of activities left in Jedi Survivor, a number of bounties to wrap up a bunch of collectibles to get my greasy hands on. If you ask me whether I'm planning on getting back to it, I'll shrug all non-committal-like. I don't know that I want to. I love Carl, Merrin, BD1, Grease and the community I've helped build up across my 20-ish hours with Jedi Survivor. There is actually a mechanic whereby you save all kinds of folks and send them to Grease's brand new container on Kobo. But I also feel a sense of fatigue, which is not at all what you want to experience after a mere 20-ish hours of play. I love so much about this package, but I didn't quite love it enough. Not to want to play more of it. When the third, and hopefully last, chapter of Carl's story comes out, I'll have meditated my way into more excitement for one of the Star Wars universe's premier redheads. For now, I think I might just let this one rest. If you enjoyed this video, please let me know in the comments down below. Tell me what you thought about Jedi Star Wars Survivor.

This study explored the experiences of people with spinal cord injuries, SCIs, and their partners in conducting and disseminating research and partnership. It revealed that these individuals experiences align with components of leadership theory, suggesting that building capacity for conducting and disseminating research and partnership requires a combination of factors such as seeing and valuing different perspectives, having inspirational role models, and developing relationships.

First off the bench for Marquette. Here is Lamar. Nothing but net. That's a game. UMBC lost 40 points a game. It's Halzer comes up empty, but Theo Jarrum, the follow jam. Prepped play in Wisconsin. It's Spash. Steven's point. That's going to count. Trying to turn the corner. John continues. First run. But Kane is how it buries a three. That's Nick. Shartuna Gibson. And John finishes it. Joseph Shartuna is going to be a big. State titles together. Combined to win five state championships at Spash. And he is not afraid. Joey Halzer. When Ray Elliott comes back from that thumb injury, they are 10 feet. Is Marquette. Brandon Horvath. It's the first basket for UMBC. Not named R. Cal Lamar. This is a team that is hoping to be improved defensively. And he finds Lamar. What a setup. Very good job by getting it going downhill. All of a sudden you get standstill three. We have gotten two in a row now. Brandon gets that one. R. Kel gets that one before. KJ and Rick. Hard twos. We can't take the hard twos in this game. They are going to rebound that.  Joey Halzer. Great off the bounce with the left. Finishes and one. And now Horvath. Miss Badley. Sherburne gets it right back. Jackson hanging high. Can't finish. Sherburne will finish. On the put-back. Sam Schweitz kicks it over to Sherburne. He's got a quick release. And rattles one home. Gives it back. He finds it. And now Sam Halzer. Trains of three. Two-point shot. Sherburne passes it up. Horvath is found. The Halzer brothers back on the floor together. Here at the collegiate level. Sam and Joey. Sam missed a few three. Some open looks. But these two are going to be a handful all year long. The thing is you are going to get confused. It's like wait a minute. And a spin. May I get away with a walk here? Is Halzer for three? Yes. Here's Halzer. Back on the floor. That's a good sign. It's his first shot since coming back after rolling his ankle. All right. Sam Halzer. Oh my goodness. Theo John has the coming out part. Theo John has 11 points. To go along with nine rebounds. And then his intensity picked up on the defensive end. He's always been tough on the glass. Before your first points are a nice dunk. It seems to elevate the rest of your game. Theo John. No at-large bids. Adam at the shot clock. Lines down. Kane with an offensive board and a finish. His first point of the season. Now Kane. Hey, make it back-to-back possessions. Three minutes to go here at Fiserv Forum. Howard, little stat-back three. That's what he's been looking for all night. Good to see UNBC back on the spotlight. And that was an impressive win for Steve Wojachowski and Marquette. Impressive defensive showing tonight. Oh, they were flying around. The nine three-point looks forced them into tough two-point shots. This is what Marquette, if they can do this consistently, Brian, they will be among the elite not only in the Big East, but in the country.


Let's address this one Can this person apply for jobs in China? What do you say? So again, as I said like when you let's say you see a job description, right? You see job description minimum experience required minimum that requirement of this required Send a letter say hey, my name is this, you know, I do not have that experience But I have this qualification would you consider again says be honest, right? Because I mean Every employer is looking for like ideal candidate. Oh, I want to have like masters with five years experience They you know the reality is It's never the case, right? Every employee is flexible. Everyone is flexible, right? Like if you prove that I mean if you If the employer will say, you know what I think I want to work with that girl with that gentleman, right? It's possible Approach like if you see that you not mean what I'm trying to say is if you're not meeting the requirements listed on the website Or job description still contact the employer as if there is there a flexibility ask about that ask about that and From your point of view, what's the best type of a resume? Um They they want to see experience they want to see experience Anything related to current position, right? And because you read like for example, if you read the job description job description Before you apply get some of that job description in your resume, right? Yeah, that's right. So you just need to make sure that your resume is Following the requirements from the job description. That's If job description as you know, are you good with kids, you know, um, can you sing songs and let's say you don't want to write Okay, I've been doing some plumbing for the last couple years. I'm a great plumber like low my range is like Don't do that. Of course, right? So yeah, so just relevant experience. That's it Stay close to the job description. Yeah, steal from the job description put it in your resume if you have to right As I said before don't lie, right? But be Be realistic, right? Be realistic.  So when I got here, I had I had a three-stage interview So I had I had two phone calls and say hey, like, you know, this is like Sally from HR Like you have five minutes. I guess I do you had a quick chat, right? Then two days later. So he is John from HR So I just have to sell a couple is oh, you know, that's another John. So there's like their department different stages, right? So they depends on the company, right? This day and age like most likely it will be like a zoom or we chat or like some kind of conference call. Yeah They're standard just right if you pass one stage go to yeah, oh and that's You ready like a record record one minute self-intro One minute self-intro and if you can record like a demo class like five minutes four minutes demo class Where they can see you interacting with kids that helps because if you say like, oh, my name is Eugene I've been working with kids for ten years Words don't matter as much, right? But I mean you say you know what instead of wasting your time. I have a video handy. Do you have a minute? I'll send it right to you and For example, if someone doesn't have this experience like of working with kids What would be the the best way to approach this job application process, oh That's me right there like five years ago and I came I'm a translator by trade like I'm a Russian English translator and you know, so I flew to China from Canada and So what I said is listen, I I never work with kids My job was to translate so my job was to make people understand each other and I believe that you know I can I can make it happen in the classroom. Yeah, it's like, whoa, you know, that sounds sounds great Yeah, so I just showed up like full of enthusiasm say, you know what I think I love kids I don't have much experience. I had zero experience of the day at the moment, right? But I said, you know, listen, uh, it excites me like give me a chance. I said, okay, whatever. Yeah And I don't care I guess show them they have some passion for the industry. Yeah Did you get any training any specific courses or whatever? Once that before got the job or Well In the process Well, so since I um, you know, since I landed in China, I finished. I don't know five different courses All about like a little child communication. Yeah, I'm constantly trying to like look for something. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah Yes, by the way, Eugene is also our alumnus He finished 120 hours tuple course Yeah, it was like three years ago, I think Yeah, something like that. So That that's actually also helpful and one more time. It's uh, super important for the visa application If you guys want to get a swap visa Yeah, yeah, I can tell a little story about that. So the reason the reason I needed that The certificate because I did have one that I did online like years ago Right, but the the immigration bureau, they wouldn't accept this and listen like we need a paper We need a paper. We need something that we can hold in our hands, right? So the one I had online simply didn't work. So say listen, I do have it like I mean I I've done that before say, yeah, no, sorry. We need something else. So yeah, I end up, uh, you know working with these guys like it and then We got a certificate and that's what I submitted to the application Center in in Beijing and it worked. Yeah, no problem Yeah, I just want quickly to show you the way our certificate looks like and It has a special number. This number is super important For the job application process because employers and embassies Would probably want to check if it's valid if it's real because many people want to Just Make a fake copy Using some pictures from the internet So for this for the sake of avoiding it, they yeah So let me tell something about like Fake copies right again.  I have masters from new zealand, right? You just admit no problem, right? It works. I'm uh, you know, I'm a I'm a doctor from kentucky. Whatever, you know Anything works anything flies right right now. Um, every application on online So you submitting your documents online? So if you decide to submit something fake like Do not do that. No that the times have changed right if somebody says oh china They know nothing like you there. No, no one is silly like the immigration officers They they do the job the cops they take care of that Make sure you have the legit documents for sure. Don't don't play games with chinese government And here is the Thanks so much for watching We are it ttt the leading provider for teflon t-sol training courses If you like this video, please subscribe by clicking the button down here And click on any of the videos here on the left for more interesting teaching tips for getting certified to teach english abroad and online You


Hi, welcome to this session. I'm Shen Yang from Ranchelabs, now a part of SUSE. Today in this session, we'll talk about a new project we have started recently. It's a hyperconverged infrastructure software, but also is a little bit more than that. A few years back, the concept of a hyperconverged infrastructure was proposed by combining the server and the storage into a distributed infrastructure platform. The Azure CI software reduced the burden of IT of the means to manage the server and the storage separately. Even with the commodity hardware, the software layer is intelligent enough to figure out where to put the data to keep everything highly available. No special storage or server will be needed. It sounds like a pet with a kettle. By switching to the HCI, you no longer need to treat your storage as a pet and no worry about if you're operating the right or not. And also, just in case you know, pet with a kettle is also where the name of the rancher comes from. I mean, the rancher part, of course. So in the data center, Azure CI software is thriving. But from a software-operated perspective, there's still more left to be designed. You cannot run your application directly and on the HCI since the software is more likely to be designed on top of the VMs. It's because the software hasn't been programmed to know how to spin up VMs or connect to the storage provided by different HCI solutions. And that is because of each of these HCI solutions because different API language, which is a part of their preparatory API. The result is IP admins still need to operate software differently based on what HCI or virtualization solution they have chosen. Terraform and other technology are created to help. But still, the IT admins need to learn a lot about how to operate the software and writing a lot of customized script to maintain the property. That is not the easy work. Fast forward to now, we see Kubernetes taking the world by storm. We no longer need to treat the application as paths since container and Kubernetes become the de facto application API. As long as the application works on Kubernetes, they can be treated as a cattle. And no one needs to worry about what hardware is running on top of or what storage is using or how to spin up multiple VMs to run it since all of this has been taken care of by the Kubernetes. We want to introduce the concept HCI 2.0. By 2.0, we mean we're not only going to integrate servers and the storage, but also going to integrate applications on top of it through the Kubernetes API. We will replace the proprietary API with the open industry standard Kubernetes. So let me introduce the project Havaster. Havaster is the open source hyper-converged infrastructure software built on top of Kubernetes. Besides Kubernetes, it's also built on top of multiple cloud-native technologies, including Kupvert, Longhorn, KVM, MOTUS. It's been designed to work on environmental, providing users with a single unified API to deploy the VM and applications. Just as with the traditional HCI software, you don't need to worry about virtualization or storage. Just use the ISO image or PXE to install Havaster on your environmental nodes. Then you have a cluster which can spin up VMs, talking Kubernetes APIs, or even spin up a Kubernetes cluster on top of VMs. Now, as long as your applications are speaking Kubernetes API, they can be deployed everywhere, either it's cloud, the data center, or on the edge. Havaster makes Kubernetes ubiquitous. Bridge the gap between the traditional HCI software and the modern cloud-native ecosystem. And today, we're announcing the first beta released of Havaster. It's Havaster 0.2, and currently, it supports the following features. You can install it using ISO, your PXE, and it supports VM life-circle management. And they provide a distributed block storage. We also provide the flexible network options, including multiple NIC support and the VLAN networking. There is also VM image management support and the VM line migration. And finally, you are also able to spin up managed Kubernetes clusters with the help of Front Rancher. So here is what architecture looks like in Havaster today. Havaster will install K3 OS on the nodes. Well, the OS might be changed in the future, and that will keep you posted. K3 OS has bundled with K3S, so we can use it to create Kubernetes cluster on the bare mental nodes. Then the longhorn and the covert will be installed once the Kubernetes cluster is up. Now the user can start running VMs or spin up Kubernetes cluster on top of those VMs. As you can see, there are multiple networks available to the VMs. The management network is implemented by the Kubernetes overlay networking. Other VLAN networking are implemented by the Havaster VLAN CNI plugin. VMs can choose to attach to multiple networks, and that is thanks to the motors. Well, enough talking. Now let me show a quick demo of Havaster. All right, let's dive into some demo. So once you install the Havaster, you should be able to see the IP address you can use to look in the Havaster UI, which is going to look at like 172.16, 19.41, and colon 3443. So put that in your web browser and you're able to get to the Havaster UI. So here, in fact, for the first time, if you log into Havaster, we ask you to reset the new password. Here, we already done that, so let me log in. All right, so now you are looking at Havaster dashboard. So this is the Havaster 02 RC1, and which is not a stable release yet. So when the time this video was published, you might see a newer version than what I have right now. So we have total of three notes and two images, and you can also see the CPU and the memory and the storage metrics down here as well. And then you can also see like recent events, which is happening to this cluster a few minutes ago. Let's go to the next page. So on host, you can see the detail of those three notes and you can see each of them has what's operating system they add, what's the IP and all the other configurations of stuff. So on the version machine, you can create version machine and the volumes will be the storage used by the virtual machines. On the image page, you're able to import new virtual machine images for your use. And here, I already have like two images imported. One is Ubuntu, another one is OpenSusa. So let's go create some virtual machines first. Create, and I'm going to call this leap 01. I'm going to give it full CPU and 40 gig of memory. I'm going to select leap image. And the SH key, I don't have any right now. So let's skip that. On the volume page, you can see that we are going to create a 10 GB disk automatically for the OpenSusa setup for this VM, but you can also add more volumes. On the network, you can see there's already a default network set it up, which is in fact, the Kubernetes overlay networking, if you know a bit more about Kubernetes. You can also add another network, which is going to be one of the VLAN networking you have configured. So we are looking, we will take a look at the VLAN network configuration later. So that's just add this for the VLAN 81 for now. In the advanced options, you have the choices to re-overwrite the host name and select machine type, and also the due to cloud configuration using the metadata and network data section. So because the image we have specified is a cloud image, so we need to reset the password so we can log in. Also, since we have configured two network interface, we can configure them to be DHCP. So they were going to automatically acquire IP address from DHCP server after it's done up. So that's all we need. Let's click create. Now you can see the VM is in creation and we can take a look. All the basic information is now showing up and including volumes, network, SS keys, cloud config we have before, and you can see that in fact in the event, you can see those are coming from the Kubernetes network, Kubernetes events. So in fact, we are going to do more about this part later to make it more easy for the non-Kubernetes orchestrator at the main to work with. All right, let's go back to the previous page and now we can see that the Live Zero One VM is already running, click console. You should be able to access the VNC console provided by the setup. Well, it turns out I need to, I don't have enough space here. Now it's good. All right, so seems everything is working. Let's log in. OpenSUSA is the username for the OpenSUSA lib and also the password will be the password we have said before. So now you can also see there are two nicks, it's zero and it's one. And the name of the link depends on what operating system you are using but both of them already get the address. And you can also notice that it's one is getting address from 172.1691 which is, in fact, I will be land 91 in that range. We can also write some simple tasks here. So let's create this file demo and let's sync it so we can test our demo backup restore feature later. So that's all for this VM, let's close it. So we can create a backup for this VM and let's name it first. Okay, so in fact, a backup is not created yet. This is just saying that the backup has been initiated and we are going to iron out those small details more, polish them before the final release. And here we have a backup in progress and it should be done pretty soon. And this backup mechanism is using the longhorn backup mechanism and to ship your VMs backup to the remote S3 or NFS server. And to do that, you need to config the backup target in the setting area. Let's take a look at the backup and they should be finished anytime. And before that, we can go through the other features we have. The first one in the advanced menu is the VM template. For users, you can create specific template for certain type of images. For example, here we have listed if you want to have ISO image, which means you are going to install ISO to the root disk. You'd better choose ISO based image because they're going to automatically load your image as an ISO rather than loaded on the root disk. And the raw image base is the default one we are using. And the windows ISO image based was going to both load the ISO and also a certain windows virtual driver container, driver VM volume in order for the windows to achieve to make the virtual driver function. So yeah, now the backup is here, but we'll come back to that later. On the network section, you can see that we have already created two network here with different VLAN ID. And to create that in fact is very easy. And you can, I know that we have configured a few VLANs in our switch. So I can put the VLAN 33 there as well. And this programming, we are going to populate it on all the nodes and create the corresponding VLAN for the network. As such, the keys don't have anything here. And the only user our beta allows now is going to be the admin user. We are going to support multi-tendance in the later releases. All right, so let's go back to the backup. Now we see that's lip 01 backup is already ready. So we can try to see, oh, does this really record our data? Let's try it. Yeah, I'm going to create a new virtual machine named with lip 01 restore. And let's see how that goes. And in the virtual machine, then you can see the restore is happening and it will take some time. So let's wait a bit. Now we see the lip 01 restore is already running. Let's access the console. Yeah, it's booting up. In fact, one point of this restore is all the information, all the configuration from original VM will be carried over to this restored VM as well. So you can see that when this VM was going to get created, we're going to have like two nicks as we configured before. And also both of them will be configured with DHCP address. So let's try logging. By the way, password will be the same too, because the same cloud config we have stored. Okay, so both each are zero and this is one has got the IP address. And if you take a look and this demo contents has been written as well. So this is indeed a restore from our previous VM. So that's a good mix of the works. All right, so let's move on to the next demo. All right, so another thing you can do with Harvester is in fact using Harvester to create Kubernetes cluster directly. So that part of experience is still in polishing, but we can show you some early results we have now. So in the settings, you need to enable Rancher. And then you can see on the right top right, you have a Rancher icon here and click that. We are going to lead you to our building Rancher. So for this Rancher installation, we have also bundled with the Harvester node drive as well. So you can just go to the add cluster and then click Harvester. And you can just create cluster from here. So let's call it zero guest cluster and just set the name here as one. So three node template already being chosen and this is created before. SCD control plane and everything looks good. And let's try to create it. All right, so now Rancher is talking to the Harvester to create this cluster. And if you take a look back on the virtual machines, momentarily you should able to see three nodes has been created and they're trying to start and serve for the VMs for the new Rancher managed, Rancher spin up Kubernetes cluster. So this is going to take a while. I will skip forward. Now the cluster is ready and you can take a look at the node page and the listing three nodes, which does the same as we see from the Harvester side. And now you can just work on this cluster and adding deploy applications, adding workloads, do whatever you want with this Kubernetes cluster. All right, so that concludes our demo. All right, so this is the roadmap of Harvester. We're planning to have Harvester 0.3 released in the Q3 this year and the GA release data this year. There are still tons of work we need to do between now and GA as you can see from the list here. But I encourage you to download the Harvester beta release and give it a try. We'd love to have your feedback. If you have any questions regarding Harvester, feel free to reach out to the team. You can find the latest ISO in the GitHub Harvester slash Harvester or our website at harvesterhci.io. Also feel free to join the Rancher user select channel Harvester and we are looking forward to your feedback as always and thank you.


One of the questions that I get all the time is how the heck do you get a job working at a drug and alcohol treatment center or in a mental health treatment facility and that's exactly what we're going to be talking about today. What is up everybody? This is Chris from the Rewired Soul where we talk about the problem but focus on the solution and if you're new to my channel, my channel is all about mental health and typically what I do is pull different topics from the YouTube community or pop culture to try to teach you how to improve your mental and emotional well-being. But in this video, I'm going to be talking about treatment centers, how I got a job in one if you're interested in pursuing a career in one. This video is for you. But anyways, if you're into all this kind of stuff, make sure you subscribe and ring that notification bell. So yeah, this is a little bit of story time, shouldn't be too highly edited. I got my man Zach doing his thing while I am here with the wonderful Aaron from For the Love of Tech.  So yeah, this is how I got my job working in treatment and I know a lot of you are interested in it as well. So basically for me, I was working at a company. We did like a lot of content for different websites and one of the things that I did as somebody in recovery from drug and alcohol addiction was I wrote a lot of their content like blog posts and things like that. And anyways, I was also an account manager. So I ended up managing an account for a pretty big drug and alcohol treatment center. And I found out that they had a treatment center where I'm from. So they loved what I was doing. They saw my work ethic. So trust me, this work ethic isn't just in YouTube. I'm just a hard worker. And they saw that they knew I was in recovery and they said, hey, Chris, we have an opening at the facility here in Las Vegas. Would you like me to put in a word for you? Like, would you like to do something like in our field? I'm like, heck, yeah, I would. You know, because part of what my recovery is about is giving back and helping others. And to be honest, I wasn't entirely happy at the company I was with. I was there for about a year and a half or two years. But anyways, one of the issues is, is that I do not have a college degree. Now I've been to college a few times and dropped out. I'm in the middle of getting my certified alcohol and drug counselor license. But during this time, I did not have a degree. So the position, thankfully, the position was what they call an alumni coordinator. If you Google pretty much any drug and alcohol rehab center, not any drug and alcohol rehab center, but most of them have an alumni program. So the position was for an alumni coordinator. And basically the only qualifications you need was two years clean. Now this is important too for any of you watching this who are in recovery, most treatment centers in order to work there, they're going to want you to have two years sober. Now here's the thing. In some states, that's actually the law. Not in all states, but in some states. So one of the reasons is, even though we get into recovery, we quit drugs and alcohol, we try to better ourselves and everything like that, relapse is possible. And if you could imagine somebody who is in recovery working at a drug and alcohol rehab center and then relapsing, that's not a good look for the rehab center and it could be potentially dangerous. What if an employee relapsed and then, you know, when we, when we are using, like we just give, you know, zero efforts so that person can bring in drugs, alcohol, you know, whatever it is. So anyways, I had two years clean. They interviewed me a couple of times and it was actually part of their marketing department and depending on the treatment center, alumni program usually falls under marketing. But anyways, I ended up getting that job as the alumni coordinator. And because of my hard work and hustle, I ended up getting promoted to the lead alumni coordinator. And basically what that means is we have treatment centers all over the country. And I was pretty much, you know, the, the person right underneath the manager. So the other people can come to me because basically here in Las Vegas, the alumni program was pretty much non-existent. And I grew it to one of the biggest ones in the country. All right. Because again, that work ethic, okay. So yes, I ended up getting that job. So this is a job that I did not need a degree or a license for. So part of this job was following up and providing support for people after they left treatment. Okay. Like one of the things is, is when people are inside of treatment, whether it's, you know, just a straight up mental health facility or a drug and alcohol rehab, I worked at a dual diagnosis treatment facility, which means that we treated addiction and mental illness.  And anybody who's ever been to rehab or a treatment facility, you know what I mean. So part of my job was to follow up with people and provide them with support. I had a work cell phone on me 24 seven and people had access to me. So if they were struggling, if they were craving, if they were just going through a rough time, they could call me or reach out, but I was also on social media so they can message me and all that. Now part of this was getting to know the clients while they're in treatment. So how do I do this? Well, here's a word that Zach's going to put up on the screen for you. Psycho educational. Let me repeat that word for you. Psycho educational. OK, there is psycho education, and then there is psychotherapy. In order to do psychotherapy, you must be licensed. OK, but psycho education can be done by anybody. OK, so for example, the free course that I have on the science of addiction. That is a psycho educational course. And psycho education is those groups are paid for by insurance companies. All right, so you do not have to be licensed to run psycho educational groups. For example, we had behavioral health technicians. We called them BHTs. And basically, like they're kind of like hall monitors, if you will, keeping people in check, like, yo, go to group, you go to group, that it out of now when people are no man, I just want to smoke. And BHTs, they could run groups and they would do things like big book studies and all that kind of stuff. Right. Now, me being a mental health nerd and reading a lot of books and stuff like that, I branched out and did more groups like the science of addiction. I did groups on depression and anxiety and all that kind of stuff, especially because we're working at a mental health treatment center. So again, you do not have to be licensed to do a psycho educational group. All right. And that's one of the biggest misconceptions. So a lot of people message me or DM me or I had a lot of clients who said, Chris, how do I start working in treatment? I'm like, OK, what path do you want to take? You want to do what I do or do you want to become a counselor and do actual therapy because that also depends state by state. So in the state of Nevada, it's one of the few states where in order to get licensed, you have to get an associate's and then I believe a bachelor's degree in order to get a license in other states like the neighboring state to me, California, you do not need a bachelor's degree to pursue like, you know, to become like an LMFT, right? You do not need a bachelor's degree. You could just go through the certifications and do it its own thing. But since I live in the state of Nevada, you got to get a bachelor's and all that stuff. So part of what I am doing is going back to school. Right now, I'm taking a break to focus on YouTube and all that stuff. But I'm probably going back maybe, maybe towards the end of this year. So when I have people who ask me how to get a job at a treatment center, first off, look at the positions like it's like any other freaking job. Look at the positions. Look at the job listings and like any other job, it will say the job requirements. OK, so it will say, you know, if a degree is preferred or if it's mandatory or whatever. All right. Now, let me rewind real quick. So in some groups that I did, there had to be a there had to be supervision. OK, so in some groups that I did, depending on how they were billing the insurance for it, there had to be supervision from a licensed clinician. OK, and that is how insurance paid us for it. You know what I mean? But for psychoeducational groups, you don't need that in order to have accreditation. So through through addiction rehabs, like one of the biggest accreditations is J. Co. All right. And there are some other accreditation. And basically when you get accredited, then insurance pays and all that kind of stuff. So at my treatment center, clients had to go through X amount of groups ran by licensed clinicians in order for insurance to pay for their, you know, like inpatient treatment or outpatient treatment, right? But there is still a section of groups in which they did not need one. So for example, we had a lot of people who would volunteer from like the 12 step community and they would come in and they would even do groups. OK, these are non licensed professionals or non licensed people in the community. They're not professionals because they're not getting paid to do it. But part of my job, too, was I had to go on my computer and I had to put in group notes, which ended up going to insurance and getting billed to the insurance companies in which insurance companies got paid us for it. All right. So I just want you guys to kind of understand how all this works. Especially with, you know, I'm not going to sugar coat it, especially with all the stuff going on where people don't understand how mental health treatment actually works. But you do not need a license to work at a mental health treatment center. You do not need a license to do groups. You do need a license to do some groups. You do need a license to do some forms of therapy. All right. So one thing I would recommend that you look up is peer support groups and things like that, because that is something that is becoming bigger and bigger all over the United States is peer support. For example, here in the state of Nevada, state legislation tried to pass a law saying that in order to be a peer support specialist, you needed to have a license. And we have an advocacy group here in Las Vegas. Well, right now I'm sitting here in Florida, but in Las Vegas, we have an advocacy group that went to state like the state and they basically fought and said that is ridiculous. Some of the best support that people get is from other people in recovery. So they ended up not passing that law so they could do peer support. So this is going to vary state by state and be different. But for example, Tristan, my wonderfully beautiful girlfriend, she worked at a psych ward in California. All right. And she actually did psycho educational groups as well without a license. Now she does have a degree in psychology, but whether or not she did or didn't, she was still perfectly able to do those groups. So part of this was me trying to explain these things to you. But obviously I'm here to let you know if you want to pursue a career in it. If not, what I would recommend, if you want to become a counselor, a therapist, a psychologist, whatever it is, look in your state and see what the requirements are. In most cases, you can go to your state licensing board and see what their requirements are.  Now, one of the misconceptions is that people people believe that what's what's legal in their state is legal in other states. And that's not the case in the United States. It goes state by state in many cases. Now, some states have similar laws. Some states don't. This is why you have to look at your specific state licensing board. All right. But when people come to me and ask, like I said, I recommend looking at the job board, seeing what the state requirements are. Not the state requirements, the job requirements are. Look at that. All right. But if you want to pursue a career in it, what I would recommend is again, looking at the state licensing board, see what their requirements are. If you're in a state like Nevada, like I've had to talk to, you know, colleges here and ask them, you know, the same thing that you would like ask any other like college counselor and say, OK, here's the path I want to take. What do I got to do? All right. But if you're in recovery from addiction, too, one of the best ways to get into the field to get started is like, like I mentioned, behavioral health technicians, those typically you do not need a degree for. All right. And you get to help. Some of our clients love the BHT's, the behavioral health text more than anybody else there, because the BHT's are just like kind of there to stand and talk to you. And a lot of them are in recovery as well. So I would look up some kind of behavioral health technicians. Tristan said, like they were called something different at the place you work, but look at that some kind of technician. All right. And then the other entry level position for addiction recovery specifically is looking to sober living homes. OK. Like, for example, I did not get sober through a rehab. I never went through a rehab because I didn't have insurance. I didn't have money. So I got sober through a sober living home and sober living homes typically have a house manager. So if you want a career or like you want to get started and gain some experience, I would recommend looking at sober living homes in your area. Here's the thing, though, a lot of them, a lot of them from my personal experience, don't really pay you. OK. Typically, what they do is give you a free room there. All right. So like for some sober living house managers that I've worked with, they've had to have a separate job and things like that in order to, you know, pay their bills.  They still had to buy groceries. They still had a car payment. They still had to buy gas. They had insurance, dah, dah, dah, dah. So you might have to get a part-time job to take care of those other expenses. But I have it's on a very rare occasion that I've seen sober living homes who actually not only make you a house manager and give you room and board, but they also pay you on top of it. But even in those cases, they were paying like, I think the most I've seen is maybe a thousand to fifteen hundred dollars a month. All right, but let me know down in the comments below, if you are thinking about pursuing a career or getting a job in mental health treatment or addiction treatment, let me know down in the comments below because, as you know, I'm switching up some content on my channel and everything like that. So if you have questions about this and you would like me to share more of my experience, I'm thinking about doing some videos on the different groups I ran and dealing with clients and things like that in a completely HIPAA compliant way, which is something I've taken many courses on in order to maintain my job in a treatment center. But anyways, if you want to know more about that, or if you have any questions, leave them down in the comments below so I can make more videos on this stuff. All right, anyways, big thanks to Zach for being the best editor in the world while I'm out of town. But if you like this video, please give it a thumbs up.

You are all amazing and if you would like to become a patron and get exclusive videos and, you know, free copies of my books and be part of the monthly Q&A, click or tap right there. All right. Thanks so much for watching. I'll see you next time.


Okay, so we've just reached the next petrol station and look at this queue. The petrol station is way over there and it's just all the way down. Hi, I'm Lavi and I'm Oli and this is our hero Bumblebee. Together we are attempting a Guinness World Record to become the youngest pair to circumnavigate the globe by motorcycle. Join us for season three here in South America. Good morning world, welcome back to the channel. It's day number 279 on our circumnavigation around the globe by motorcycle. Good morning Bumblebee. Good morning Bumblebee, good morning Nika. We're here in a beautiful little camp next to a river in the Andes Mountains in Argentina. Yes, we had actually a really cold night. It was actually a really, really cold night. Yes, yes. Surprisingly cold. But we survived it like real warriors. Yeah, we zipped our sleeping bags together for survival. But now the sun's out and it's a new day and it's warming up. So let me show you guys where we're heading today. So we are here and today we are going to be making our way up through San Martín de los Andes, through Junín de los Andes before heading away from the mountains up on the route of 40 towards Zapala. And if we do well enough, we might even make it onto the next page. So normally it was our mission on this leg to reach Santiago in four days, but it's day two now and we just checked and we still have 950 miles to go. Uh oh. So we'll see how far we can get today and see if we can catch up a little bit distance. Yes, and we have to pack up everything and it's already nine o'clock. So better hit the road. Let's go. Look at this. What a view in the morning. Hey, beautiful. There's some fish jumping up out of the water here. Cool. And we saw a whole family of parakeets up in the tree as well. Beautiful wildlife here. And last night we were joined by this family from Brazil. From Curitiba. In their VW combi with a roof top 10. There's five of them inside there. Hi guys. Nice to meet you. Ciao, ciao. Yeah. No falls in the morning. Yes. It's always a really tough start. First 100 meters is always like whoa, whoa. Okay. Okay, ready to rock and roll? Vamos. Vamos. What a nice camp hey. So cool. Peaceful. A little bit cold but very nice and quiet. Yeah, that's what we said yesterday. We said, oh, we've got to find ourselves a camp by the river. Yeah, and luckily we made it happen. Or better, I overlander made it happen. I love this app really. It's so amazing. Yeah, thanks I overlander. Yes. What are they doing here? What? What is he doing? He's scraping the whole road. Okay. Yeah, but here we go. Back on tarmac. Yes. I like it. Another beautiful lake road this morning. We passed by a lot of lakes in the afternoon yesterday. Because this ride here is actually called the Seven Lakes Road. And I think this is the last of the lakes coming up to this town ahead. San Martín de los Andes on the other side. Yeah, and the lakes are just huge. All of them. And this one as well. I just can't believe it. Like what a scale we are talking about here. Yeah, it's not the Seven Ponds Drive. And the way these roads just hug the cliffs around them is just what an amazing ride. Yeah, but it's very popular route as well. So yesterday we saw a lot of tourists. A lot of tourist towns. It was really busy. And then sometimes you wish you would be back in the desert alone. Yeah, where no one else wants to go. So here we go. San Martín de los Andes. We've got a little marina here. That's cute. Yeah, nice. So there's a petrol station coming at the end of the town. That will be our first stop for today. Because Bumblebee is thirsty. What a cute place. Yeah, and I think it's quite historic. Look at this building here. Look at that. Crazy building. So right here then. To the right here, yep. Look at all those buildings here. How cool. Here, look on this side. Yeah, you've got some chalet style buildings. You've got some traditional old buildings. What a beautiful place. Wow, that was crazy. We went to two petrol stations in this town. And both of them had queues going for maybe one kilometer of people waiting to fill up. Yeah, it's crazy. I'm just wondering what's that about, you know. No idea. What is that about? It's crazy. I've never seen such a queue for a petrol station. So there's another petrol station about 20 miles up the road out of town. So we're just going to carry on through and go to that one instead. Fingers crossed for that one. Yeah. But you can see this area is just massively busy. A lot of people coming to this area, a lot of tourists. Yeah, busy roads. Busy roads. Look, here's another petrol station here. And like a huge queue of cars here. But it doesn't seem like anyone's actually filling up. So I don't know if there's some sort of petrol shortage or something. I don't know. Look, people are even standing outside their cars. Yeah, I don't know what's going on. So we just joined the queue in the next town, which is called Honin de los Andes. And it looks like there's queues at every single petrol station. So I think we're just going to have to wait in the end. I mean, the petrol station is up where those lights are. So we've probably got about 10 or 15 cars in front. So I think we'll just wait, hey? Well, it's crazy. It's absolutely crazy. It's mental. I don't understand. Yeah. Well, time for a break then. OK, so disaster. We just got to the pump and they said they didn't have super. They only have diesel apparently. So I think they've run out. So we're going to have to make our way to the next petrol station, I guess, and try our luck there. They said there's another petrol station in town, one kilometer up the road, Axian. So we'll have to go and probably wait in another queue over there. OK, so we've just reached the next petrol station and look at this queue. The petrol station's way over there and it's just all the way down. So we were having a little talk about the route and then Nikos was telling us that they had some bad road sections on the Argentinian side up to Santiago as well. There's a pass over to Chile, which is just coming up here and the Chilean side is going to be a lot of an easier ride. It's going to save us about a day. So I think we'll cross over to Chile instead. So Nikos has his spare fuel on the side and he's given us a couple of litres just so we can get over to the border, make it over to the other side. And from there it should be a little bit easier. OK, vamos a la Chile. OK, ready for you. How beautiful, how beautiful. There's a huge volcano in the background. It's like a perfect cone volcano. I mean, I didn't really expect that the pass would be that nice and the best thing is no traffic. Oh, look at this. Oh, OK. Should I jump off? I think we'll go in the middle. OK. Some of them are like broken and stuff. Oh my God. Wow, that's crazy. We're getting closer and closer to this massive volcano. So apparently this volcano is called Volcano Lanín. What a beauty, hey? Yeah, it's crazy. Wow. And I think there's snow all on top of it, snow and ice because it's just that tall. Look at it. It's towering above everything else. I think it's our first proper volcano that we've seen here in South America so far. It's very, very cool. Oh, run out of tarmac. Oh, oh. Whoa. It's a little bit of sliding as well, no? Yeah. It is a little bit sandy, maybe. Should we... Air down the tires, hey? Yes.  It's crazy because we didn't see this tree at all in Argentina. Absolutely nowhere. Nowhere. And then suddenly we come up to this pass and there's trees everywhere. But yeah, it's pretty soft here. Oh, man. It's a bit sandy, to be honest. Yeah. Which is not too great. No. Yeah. Really not too great. Oh, my God. Yeah. But I think it's less than the dirt road in Argentina. So I think it's a good decision that way. Yeah, that dirt road up in the north of Argentina near Mendoza is notoriously a bad section. So I think we were faced with a shorter bad section here or an incredibly long bad section up there. But I'm pretty sure the ground here is volcanic ash. Oh. That's why it's all sandy. I think it's from the volcano right here. You think so? Yeah, absolutely. That's cool. Because look at the color of it. It's like a sort of gray, dark gray sand. Come on, Bumblebee. Come on, tires. You can do it. I believe in you. Well, it may be bumpy, but look at this volcano ahead. Wow. I love volcanoes. I love volcanoes so much. Ollie and me, we did an Indonesian volcano tour. And we visited, I think, five volcanoes in like one week. Cool. A little unexpected surprise from our change of route. Yeah, I'm really happy, actually, that we took this route now. Yeah, what a nice surprise, hey? OK, bad news. Nico's tire is flat. Yeah, totally flat. What's that? In a tube. You have inner tube? Yeah. OK, we're going to have to figure out what to do. We're going to use our inflator, see if we can put some air in it, and see if we can continue to the next town. No, it's like zero PSI. It's not even showing a PSI. Why not? Where's the next town? This one is the next town, I think. Do we see? There's nothing before. OK, so inflating the tires was a failure. So actually, the border is not far ahead. So we are going to try and see, or Nico's is going to try and see, if he can ride to the border, and then we can see what to do at the border, whether we continue, try to go to the next town, or if we ask them to call for a truck and pick us up, see how he gets on anyway. Nico's is going to go first, and then we'll follow behind. OK, we've made it to the border. OK, or no? Yeah, look at this for a customs office. Beautiful. Cool. Very beautiful. So now Nico's is going to take off the front wheel, and then I'm not sure yet, if he's going to give us that wheel, and we go and change the tire in the next town, or if he's going to put the new tire on, and we see if we can do it all here at the border. Anyway, it looks like we've got a little bit of work to do. OK, OK. OK, so we've managed to prop it up on this side with a bit of wood, and prop it up on this side with a bit of wood, and then we've got a couple of bits of wood underneath. So now, we have just enough freedom that the tire can spin, and then it can be taken off. The inner tube has a hole, but he's got new inner tube. The drive is really strong because it might bend straight away. Finito! Just like new, hey? Good job, Nico's. Very good job. Vamanosa, chili, hey? Let's go to chili. Welcome, chili. On the move again. Well, that was a bit of a longer border crossing than we were expecting, hey? Yeah, definitely. It's really good that he was able to change the tire. Good on your Nico's. Very, very cool. Let's hope that the tire will be fine now. Yeah. Oh, nice. Ah. Damak! Cool. Bienvenidos a la chili. And this time, for the first time, we had no contraband. Woohoo! They didn't confiscate anything from us, but bad news, it looks like the tire repair has a little bit of an issue because Nico says that the front wheel is kind of bouncing up and down a bit. So it looks like the inner tube or the outer is kind of not in exactly the right position. So I don't know how that's going to go for him, but I think we may have to look for a tire shop in the next town and then they can maybe just refit that tire properly. At least we can ride there at the moment without the flat tire and get there and we'll see what we can do over there. Okay, so we've arrived here in the next town and Nico's is just asking this mechanics here if they can do anything for us. Hola. Ah, próxima. Okay. Whoa, is this the day for volcanoes or what? There's another one. Woohoo! Look at that one. Yeah, it looks epic. It's crazy guys because this volcano in front, which is called Villarica, is actually an active volcano. If you look on the top, you can see that smoke is coming out. Oh, that's crazy. Oh, I think it's bad.  Look at it, hey, beautiful. Okay, so it looks like we've run out of options for today. There doesn't seem to be anywhere in this town where we can get Nico's's tire looked at, but we've searched and there's a bunch of mechanics in the next town called Villarica, but they won't open until tomorrow morning. So we've decided to have a camp, call it a day, and we'll head to that town tomorrow, get the bike sorted, and be on our way. But this wild cab that we're going to head to now that we found on Ioverlander looks really, really cool from the pictures. So if it does work out, I am super excited because there's volcano views. Woohoo! Oh my God. Wow, it's absolutely epic views from here. Yeah, we're getting closer to the volcano. Villarica. Very cool. That is absolutely amazing road. Wow. So impressed. And the wild camp is apparently one mile further up the road. So even closer to the volcano. Wow. Epic. Oh my God, I love volcanoes. You can see the smoke coming out the top. So we just went through pretty difficult patch and look up ahead, it's like pretty sandy, like volcanic sand. And also after that patch, we sort of lost Nikos. I can't see him behind anymore. I think I can get up there, no problem. But I mean, at the moment, Nikos is not coming. Okay, so Nikos has reappeared. So we're going to try and go up here. See how we get on. Yup. Woo, that's good. Okay, half a mile to the camp. Good evening guys. We made it, happy and alive. Yes, after quite a struggle up this road, unexpected struggle up this road, we have made it to this little spot right here in between the trees and look at the view that we've got in front of us. Yes, we are going to be camping in view of an active volcano. It's unbelievable. Pretty amazing. I still can't believe it. I'm so happy at the end that we actually did the detour and that we actually went to Chile and avoided all the way up through Argentina. Yeah, I did not expect this crazy volcano landscapes to come up, so I was really unexpected, but absolutely awesome.  A lot of things went wrong, but at the end of the day, we are here now, which is absolutely amazing and we have just to build up the camp and start some cooking, but yeah, we will have a good night here. And wake up tomorrow with an amazing view and then we'll head to the mechanic. So that's it from us today. We did it at the end, 140 miles and we hope you enjoyed the video.

These guys who just parked up next to us to camp here for the night, they were flying a drone around, so I went and asked them, can you send us some footage of the drone because both our drones are broken.  So we did. We're just glassiers.


So, before we begin the actual session, I would like to welcome all of you. There seem to be a few more remote centers which have joined. I would also like to welcome the live participants who are here. I am Sahana Murthy and this workshop is being conducted along with my colleagues, Professor Shridharayar and Jai Krishnan who is a PhD student who all of you would have interacted either via Moodle or email and so on. So, you would have heard this word educational technology quite often and if you ask somebody what is educational technology? One of the first things that comes to our mind is that it is the technology for education such as the creation and use of technologies, examples that Professor Fatak mentioned in the previous session, visualizations, educational animations, hardware like the tablets and it can also be the creation and use of technology tools such as Moodle which all of you may be familiar with. But educational technology is does not stop here and what we have on this slide is only half or one part of what constitutes educational technology. The other important part of educational technology is what we call as technology of education as opposed to technology for education. And what we mean by technology of education is the creation and use of instructional strategies and pedagogy such as peer discussion and collaborative learning and think, share and several other such strategies that we will go over in this workshop and the goal of these strategies is to facilitate students learning and engagement. So the focus in technology of education is on what to do by the teacher and the learner how to use the technology effectively rather than the technology itself. So the second thrust of educational technology forms the basis of this workshop. So actual goals of this workshop what we will do is start by articulating the objectives for your course and the reason is that whenever you want to use a technology or an instructional strategy or content it really does not make sense unless we are very clear as to what are the objectives and there is a formal technical way in education in the subject of education on how to write learning objectives for the course. So the session immediately following this one is on writing learning objectives for your course. We will also explore ICT tools appropriate for some of these objectives and learn effective pedagogical strategies for teaching with these tools and most importantly by the end of this workshop throughout during and by the end you will apply these strategies to design materials and activities using ICT for your own courses. So let us actually just start off with what we call as an activity. You will often see these blue slides with some question and so on. What I would like to request the RC coordinators is to enable the poll function. For the participants since we have been talking so much about technology here is a question for you it is a poll voting or a polling question. So which ICT tools ICT by the way stands for information and communication technologies which ICT tools have you used in your courses other than computer projector and power point. So what I would like you to do right now is just open your notebooks and list all the ICT tools that you have used in the course till now other than these three mentioned. So take about 30 seconds or 45 seconds to do this. All the activities that are on blue slides all participants in the remote centers as well as the live participants shall be expected to do. So everybody please take out your notebooks and write down any technology other than these three that you have used. And while you are doing that here is a poll question which we will enable and the question is in your remote center what is the average number of ICT tools used among the participants other than computer projector and power point slides? Is it 0 to 2, 3 to 5, 6 to 10 or more than 10? So we will enable a poll through Avue and this is your first experience with using technology and interactive learning strategies within a classroom. So each participant can simply raise their hands in their own remote center to let the coordinator know how many technologies you have used in addition to computer projector and power point. And the RC coordinator please respond using the Avue poll as to approximately what is the average number of tools that are being used in your center other than these three. So we have started the polling, we are getting results please submit how many tools that are being used in your RC. So we have about 115 centers that have submitted a poll so far and what we find is that 60 centers or so say 0 to 2. Now I am going to assume that the average there is somewhere around 1 or 1.5 the median is there and close to 50 centers say 3 to 5. So what this means is that more than 50 percent of you have used at least one if not more tools other than these three. And why we ask this poll? So this is a survey kind of a poll. It's good information, useful information for us in trying to get an idea of what tools you are familiar with and you can also use quick survey type of polls like the one we just did to find out where your students are, what is the demographic and so on. In today's lab this afternoon you will be exploring a lot more about how to set such questions. Okay so let's move on now. You know why this workshop has and why should we have this workshop which is not only about content but about pedagogy and we have mentioned some points. Let's actually go through a summary here and I think all of you will agree with me when I say that ICT tools in education is there everywhere and everyone including the government has been encouraging its use for its various benefits. So you would have heard of learning management systems and MOOCs and animation and wiki and so on. However, as I mentioned over and over again in the last 10 minutes the potential of these technologies is lost without the appropriate pedagogical strategies. So what US teachers need to have a knowledge of is which ICT tools are useful? When are they useful? That is for what learning objectives are they useful and how to choose a tool for a given objective? How to integrate instructional strategies with these tools once you have chosen them and essentially how to use the tools effectively. So this workshop the title and the main focus is pedagogy for effective use of technology in this course. This workshop is not about learning content in a specific topic nor is it about techniques of conducting research. So there have been other national mission teach 10,000 teachers workshops on these topics but this workshop is not going to focus either on specific content even though we will have lots of examples on content itself. This workshop is not about going deep into the features of technology tools. Instead it is about how to use these tools effectively and the strategies that you can use with these tools. And finally, while it is a really important point, this workshop is not going to focus about how bad or about lamenting on the state of education either in our country or in your college or in your class and so on. We are all aware of these problems. In fact, Professor Fatuk told us the magnitude, the scale of these problems he emphasized that really well. What we will do in this workshop is look at one step ahead of that and see what are possible solutions we can use in spite of those problems. So we will not take questions on what is going wrong but we will try to locate and identify some answers to those. So just repeating what the workshop is about and at this point you might have a question that okay, this seems to be an interesting or useful goal but how do we get there? And unfortunately there are no shortcuts, you cannot find the solutions by listening to somebody else lecture even if they are experts like our team here. What you have to do is activities, you actually have to create these strategies and work on the assignments such as the pre-workshop assignment that you have submitted, hopefully submitted already. There will be several other assignments and in-class activities that help you get there. So let us look at two specific pedagogical strategies that we will use in this workshop itself. So this and the next slide are fairly important and I will spend a little bit of time on these. One of the main theories that has been found to be extremely effective for student learning or for any learning is what is called active learning in which the learners and at this point the participants, you are the learners are doing something other than watching somebody or listening. What do you do instead? You have to solve a problem, write something, talk to your neighbor, discuss, poll. There are a dozen or there are several dozen other strategies that come under active learning but they go beyond mere listening and mere watching somebody write something on the board. So what you will do in this workshop is work on activities both individually and in groups. You will explore tools hands-on in the labs and in homework. You will design materials for the courses and you will create your own active learning strategies for your own course. So without active learning there is really no learning. So you will learn both how to create active learning for your own course and also be learners using this technique. All our sessions will have active learning as the basis not just as one point but throughout our sessions you will see examples of active learning. Any time you see a blue slide and you will see a lot of those in the coming sessions that this is exactly what you are doing. The other pedagogical strategy we will use is something called a flip class and this is somewhat more recent and what this is is if you think about the nature of teaching and learning there are two main aspects. One is that there is a lot of information or content that needs to be transmitted and delivered from the experts to the learners and the other equally important or perhaps more important aspect of teaching and learning is that the learner needs to assimilate this content, understand at a deeper level, make sense of it, apply it. So all that goes under what we are calling as assimilation. So in a regular class perhaps the information delivery happens in class and the assimilation happens maybe in homework or it is assumed that this happens. But in a flip class the information delivery happens using videos, short videos. So in all the sessions you will be seeing short videos related to information on a particular topic which are immediately followed by an interspersed with these active learning activities and that forms the, those are how you will assimilate the content. So whenever you see a video we will be using flip classroom throughout the sessions and we will also have a session where you can create a flip class for your own course. So what is expected of you to summarize is that you will sincerely participate in all activities and you will put in the effort to complete the task. The ultimate goal is that you will create and take away lessons and lesson plans and examples for effective use of ICT for your own topics. So now here is a question which I think is in all of your minds, if you do any of these don'ts it is just that the workshop would not be very useful to you. So what can you expect from us now? We have designed carefully designed lots of in class activities and sessions as well as incentives for completion which we will discuss in a few minutes. There will be lot of Moodle based guidance as well as Moodle based questions and activities and resources for the online phase and you will have lots of opportunity for interaction in addition to the active learning points. So there is a view chat. You can pose your questions there. As Moodle forums we will have several sessions on frequently asked questions and there will be two-way audio-video interactive sessions every day. The workshop content, so after this I am going to go quickly into the logistics. So you will have sessions on course planning, writing assessment, higher order assessment questions, creating your own active learning classes. We will emphasize animation simulations and other visualizations, flip classroom as I mentioned. We will work a lot on promoting student collaboration using ICT tools like wikis because again this has been shown to be of a lot of use. Duration is not 3 days or 6 days, it is actually 4 weeks. Begins with pre-workshop assignment, you have already done that. There will be synchronous remote classroom mode these 3 days Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday this week as well as January 19th, 20th and 21st where you will assemble in your colleges and there will be active learning sessions from IIT Bombay as well as lab sessions that you will do in the remote centers. There will be an online phase from Jan 8th to 18th. So what happens in the SRC, in the synchronous remote classroom phase is that we will have 2 to 3 A view sessions per day like this one. There will be 2 lab activities per day, one in the morning and one in the afternoon. Activities will be posted in Moodle and each computer in the lab needs to have internet access. So here are some notes for the remote center coordinators. So coordinators please make sure that participants have access to computers and internet for all the sessions marked as lab in the schedule that has already been posted. And for the lab on day 3, a microphone and camera are also required, incentives. So we have open badges for which are online rewards that you will get if you are doing the activities promptly. So these badges are of different types and at some point today either on Moodle or in one of the sessions we can explain more about these. We will give special names to different types of badges based on whether you have completed a large number of activities or how much you have helped other people on Moodle and so on. And also punctuality. And also on punctuality. What do you need to do for getting certificates? You have to attend. We have evidence of this through screenshots and also the RC coordinators can help us here. You have to promptly submit all assignments. If you are working on assignments and need more time, please let us know we can help you with that a little bit but not a lot because there won't be a relaxation of dates beyond just a little bit. But you have to submit all assignments. And if you do all this, you will get a certificate in this course. So since I have been talking so much about interactivity, before we move on to the next session which is T, let me just look at the chat window here and see what comments or queries have been posted. What I have here on the chat window is in fact some responses to the question that was posed on the blue slide about 10 minutes ago on which ICT tools have you been using. So let me just read out a few of these that you have shared with us. From Padampad Singhania University in Bhatevar, Udaipur, we have simulation tools and videos being used from some other centers and many other centers are telling us that 3 to 5 sessions and so on. So in some activities we will explicitly ask you to respond through chat window and we will interact with you in this manner.


Welcome to a new week of the rundown. On this episode, modernization of the Navy's performance evaluation system. The E&I Selection Board is set to reconvene and information on improving mental health. Last week, C&P announced that the Navy is moving forward in its efforts to modernize our performance evaluation system to provide more meaningful, frequent, and useful feedback to sailors and to more objectively measure sailor performance. Additionally, C&P highlighted that we want to objectively measure sailor performance and also remove artificialities in our current system, such as tendencies of reporting seniors to rate individuals by seniority rather than talent. Commander and naval personnel, Rear Admiral Rich Brown, said that transforming the way we measure sailor's performance will ultimately provide better transparency, counseling opportunities, and a more accurate assessment of our individual's talent. You can read details in our story on navy.mil. The fiscal year 18 E&I Selection Board is scheduled to reconvene July 24th. All candidates eligible at the time of the original board suspension are still eligible. Board-eligible senior chiefs with a higher tenure between 1 July and 30 November may request a waiver to remain board-eligible. Details on eligibility, board membership, how eligible officers and master chiefs can volunteer to sail on the board and more can be found in Navadmin 111-17. Sailors with questions can contact NPC customer service at 866-UF-NPC or via email at usnpc at navy.mil.  Around 21% of active duty sailors were diagnosed with a mental health disorder in 2015. Sailors can help improve their mental health by maintaining healthy sleeping, eating, and exercise habits. The story also explains how to spot symptoms of mental health distress and the importance of a support system to help deal with stressors. Sailors can receive 24-7 confidential support from the Military Crisis Line. Read our story on navy.mil for more information and additional links. That's all for this week. For any questions, you can send us a message at usnpeople.fct and navy.mil. For the Chief Naval Personnel, I'm MC2 L.J. Berluson. Thanks for watching.
