Hello OscillatorSync here and today I'm really excited to share with you a brand new feature that I've just added to Synth Marta, my free online browser-based patch editor for the Vulkref M and DX7.  If you are creating patches, by the way, make sure that you're a member of the Facebook group called Vulkref M Patch Sharing Group. I'll put a link in the description in this video. There are a lot of great patches being shared about that have been created using Synth Marta. So on with this new feature, pretty much from the start when I first released Synth Marta, the biggest request for a new feature has been a random patch generator. Now I'm a really big fan of random patch generators. I think they are great, especially on analog style synths. Now the problem with random patch generation on FM, if you just randomly assign values to all of the parameters on an FM synth, about 90% of the time, probably more than 90% of the time, you're going to get stuff which is glitchy, atonal, unusable sounds. So although I really wanted to add randomness into Synth Marta, I had to think really carefully about the way that I was going to implement it. So with that in mind, let me introduce to you, if we just scroll down here, let me introduce to you the randomizer. So the randomizer is random automatic patch generation for the Vulkref M and the DX7, but it's guided randomness. So we have a number of parameters here which you, as the user, can kind of use to guide the type of random patch that you are after. And this is great for getting to a sort of great starting point for a patch that you're going to go on to develop a bit further. So we've got these values here which govern the timbre of the sound. So I don't really want to explain too much what they actually do. Atonality introduces Atonality complexity, introduces complexity, brightness introduces brightness. We've got the envelope controls here, so hardness is mostly to do with how fast the sound moves in all. Hit is about introducing sort of more percussiveness to the sound. Twang sort of introduces twang and it's kind of hard to define. We'll hear it in a second. Longness is kind of, as it sounds, you turn this up to make sounds typically last longer. And then we've got our movement parameters here. Wobble, that's to do with pitch. Wobble, that's to do with your sort of your filtering, not filtering sounds, but your sort of timbre changes within your sounds. And velocity is going to change it so that your patches are going to react more to velocity. So what I just want to do in this video after introducing this to you is just hit play on the Volcker. I've just got a little sequence running and we'll just try out a couple of the controls and talk about what they are doing. Okay, so we're here with a initialized patch to begin with. This is just the default setting here. So I'm just going to hit new patch and we get a brand new patch for our Volcker FM just like that. We hit it again. We get another one. Okay, so that's what we keep doing. We keep hitting this new patch button to get a new sound. So I'm going to come over to the envelope here. Let's try and get something that has a bit more attack. So I'm going to turn up my hardness. Now the patch is sort of coming on a bit faster. If we hit it again, again, another patch with that onset being a bit more rapid. At the moment, I think the patch is a bit too long so we could turn down our longness. We could hit new patch, short patches like that. Okay, so let's talk about the timbre a little bit. So complexity introduces complexity to the sound. It does it in a couple of different ways. If you're interested, you can take a look at the source code, but let's try just turning it up halfway and see what sort of sounds we get instead. Okay, if we turn the brightness, we might hear a bit more of it happening. So you can hear we're getting lots of really useful patches just sort of out the gate really. Perhaps we'll bring it even brighter. That's cool. So this sort of raspy kind of quality, you don't tend to get so much with the complexity turned down, but with it turned up sort of all bets are off and you get all sorts of stuff happening. It's really short. That's really cool. So atonality basically introduces more and more detuning and a different sort of relationships between the operators. Let's turn that up a little bit and see what we get. You can hear that things aren't quite as stable. Okay, that's kind of percussive. If you wanted to get more percussion into it, you can turn the hitter a bit, might increase the longness for a bit. Turn the twang down. Getting some more percussive sounds. Twang will tend to temper the percussiveness a little bit and get more sort of movement. Hear that? That's not quite as percussive. Let's turn the complexity down a bit and maybe temper that brightness, maybe make it longer. So let's try and make a bit more of a pad sound. So let's turn down the hardness, turn down the hit a bit. Okay, turn down that atonality a bit. Turn the twang, turn down the brightness. Okay, so over here we've got the movement here. So if we wanted to introduce a bit of pitch movement, we can turn the wobble up a bit and now that harness bit more. That sort of backwards thing happening, that's cool. If we turn up the wobble, then we're going to get a bit more sort of timbre or change over the over time. Something like that. Let's maybe bring a bit more of an attack back but keep that length perhaps. More complexity, a bit more brightness. Sometimes even though you've got the longness, sometimes just because there's randomness involved, some of these things are kind of ignored sometimes. So although long this has turned up, it's still quite a short sound. Let's turn that complexity all the way up, see what we get. That's cool. Brighten it up a bit. Wow, okay. So let's talk about velocity. So if we turn this up, basically what it's going to do is make our patch more reactive to the velocity slider on the Volgra FM. Okay, so let's play with it. So this is the velocity turned all the way down and turn it up. Let's try another one. Okay, that's the velocity up full. Let's bring it down a bit darker, a bit quieter. Oh wow, should we turn that one up? It gets angry. Let's turn that A tonality up to see what we can get happening. Okay, that's velocity full there and bring it down. Darker, less weird. Try again. Let's velocity down, bring it up. Let's turn twang down perhaps.  Of course, if you push everything to the max, you know, or to the extremes, I should say, you know, you do get some pretty out there sounds, sound effects and stuff. If we keep things a bit more conservative, we can certainly create some very usable sounds. It's great fun to play with. In fact, it probably took me twice as long as it should have done to develop because I just spent so much time just hitting the new patch button to see what it would bring out. Now in some cases, you know, you're going to get lucky and you're going to get a patch, which is basically a finished patch. You might want to go and tweak things like your operator scaling type operations here or maybe just bring in some of the weird stuff just to make it a bit more usable. But really, what I see this as is a great way to get a starting point. You know, you set your sort of ballpark sound that you're looking for hitting your patch a few times and find that great starting point that's going to lead to a really cool patch that you can carry on and build rather than working from an initialized patch every time. Anyway, I hope you like that. I've had so much fun playing with it already. I really hope that you're going to have fun playing with it as well and that you create some awesome patches off the back of it. So that's about it for today. If you enjoyed the video, please do hit that thumbs up button and make sure you're subscribed to the channel. Also, make sure you're following me on Facebook and Instagram and Twitter. I'm just oscillating to sync one word in most of those places you could be able to find me that way. Other than that, let me know what you think in the comments and I will see you again soon guys. Take care. Bye-bye.


He's done his time on-screen, but Kevin Spacey may be facing five years in jail off-screen. Ladies and gentlemen, this is Matt Rogers. Actor Kevin Spacey has officially made an appearance in court over the first criminal charges brought against him. The charge stems from events from July 2016, and the complaint against Spacey states that a busboy in an Antucket bar called Clubcar told police Spacey bought him a number of alcoholic drinks, made some inappropriate remarks, and tried to get him to go back to the award-winning actor's house afterwards. Then the two of them were near the piano player in the bar, and Spacey apparently reached over and began to rub the busboy's thigh, then allegedly went a bit further if you know what I'm saying. The accuser apparently sent a Snapchat video of this happening to his girlfriend, and investigators apparently matched the clothes of the person in the video to Spacey. Now today, after arriving in Nantucket by private jet, he was taken to Nantucket Town Hall to face the court, after the judge denied his request to avoid attending the hearing. Arriving, he looked relatively confident, even managing a smile for the cameras, and in the courtroom, his lawyer Alan Jackson spoke for him the entire time. The judge agreed for their request to obtain phone records from the victim, as they believe it will help Spacey's case. Though before all of this, just the other day, a couple of weeks after his Let Me Be Frank video, Spacey made a rare public appearance, wearing a custom cap saying, retired in 2017, obviously making light of when his allegations first surfaced. He came out to deliver a pizza to a photographer from the Daily Mail, saying, I know you're just doing your job, he said with a smirk, keep warm and have a happy new year. Following his pizza delivery, he drove back inside his apartment complex without a response to a nearby reporter.  And close sources say that he's been writing, and in the meantime getting movie offers from both Europe and Russia. His colleagues have been saying that he's assumed that he'll be able to come back to US films in a few years, which is a bit forward if you ask me, but I guess what else could you expect from a man like Spacey? The most ironic part of all of this is after flying back to Washington this afternoon, Spacey was pulled over for speeding. More problems with the law was probably the last thing he wanted, but he was a bit luckier this time around and got off with a warning. Another hearing has been set for March 4th, which the judge agreed Spacey does not need to attend. However, he must be available by phone if necessary. But what do you think? Is a comeback imminent or is his house of cards going to come tumbling down behind bars? I'll be chatting with you guys in the comments, but until next time, this is Matt Rogers and that is all.


Munger says that the best thing that Buffett and he did during their 60 year careers was that they tried to avoid being stupid.  So in this video I want to discuss my 10 rules that I try to read constantly change over time but I try to read and keep in mind in order to avoid making stupid investing mistakes. So let's start with rule number one. Invest in businesses that have high earning sales. So I always try to look at businesses that give me a reward as an investor. I am at first an investor and I want to get the 12.5% return that I have as a target from the business so the price earnings ratio to where I invest should be at 8 for me to start investing. I know that's very low but if I look around the world I find such investments. It doesn't have to be now at 8 but the long term average has to be at 8. It can be a growth stocks that will grow into that price earnings ratio. It can be a cyclic cow that has a cape of 8 or something like that. However I want business earnings. That is my margin of safety when I invest. Number two. Be satisfied with finding 5 good stocks over a year and then invest in two of them or even one of them. There are so many stocks however if you spend a lot of time on research as I do then you can really really find excellent investing opportunities. And that's what I'm really wanting to put into my brain. When I have the money that's usually when you make mistakes like when I bought Teva I had money sitting there on the account doing nothing. I didn't want to expose myself too much into the other four stocks that I like then I thought ok it's a defensive stock. Oh let's play it, let's see it and I got burned immediately. So really focusing on buying just a few stocks per year really helps me in staying disciplined. If it's not good enough next, next, next, next, next and I could go on for 20 minutes on next in order to show you the importance of next. Don't buy until all your criteria are met.  If you're not lucky but everything can happen. Number three. Before buying a stock imagine the worst case scenario. What's the worst worst worst that can happen to the stock, to the company and how would you go personally about it? I usually say ok what happens if that company goes bankrupt. What's the probability, can it go bankrupt, what's the margin of safety so first focus on risk and when the risk is low that even if whatever happens negatively is already priced in then it's a great, great, great buy. Four. Always keep a cash cushion. The more cash you have the more power you have. Cash is an option. Cash is an option to decide to be more flexible to do whatever you want. Buy more if stock prices fall. Have liquidity if you need it so it's always smart not to be fully invested. Just remember that Buffett has more than 100 billion in cash on his bank account now on Berkshires of course. Now six. Sell stocks. When the stock has reached there your target now it's not more the same stock than it was when it was a bargain because the risk of a stock is a function of its price. The higher the price the higher the risk. So when a stock hits a target I usually sell. I sold part of UPi and still have part the profits in it. I have made more than 100% there. So that's how I play it. I still think it's a bargain especially with the growth so in the next 3-4 years it can go higher. However, I have limited my exposure. I left the profits in so I can't lose on that practically. Nevertheless, if it goes even higher I might trim that position even more. So that's how I go. I always sell, take the profits and then look again for the 1-2 bargains that I want to get. Number 7 something that I am working on and I will keep on working because when I find a bargain I tend to put my position immediately because I know it's a bargain and I don't want to mess it. However, I have learned that even if something is a bargain it can become even a bigger bargain. So I have to buy in stages and I have set me a rule you buy so much when the bargain let's say price earnings ratio is 8 you buy so much of your portfolio. If the stock drops and the fundamentals stay the same and the story stays the same you buy larger parts of your portfolio and rebalance accordingly when the price recovers. This gives me some alpha, gives me something to do let's say I'm practically trading but I'm just managing risk so it's not trading. This is something I still have to work on I'm still developing the strategy so it's something to mitigate risk and perhaps even increase returns. Working on it it's work in progress as always but I have a clear theory about it might even make a video to show exactly how it goes. Number 8 keep a macro hedge. Nobody knows what will happen when it will happen so it's always smart to keep a macro hedge that will go the other way around if financial markets if currencies if stocks crash. For me the hedge are in the beginning gold miners as long as there is liquidity because if there will be a great crisis there will be nationalizations everything that I can later switch to gold hopefully. However I always have a hedge in my pocket small part of portfolio but I am let's say hedged. Number 9 very important don't trust the management always look for indicators outside the company independent research this way you have more perspective and you can see what will really affect the company if it is in line with what the management is doing even better and even better if the stock is cheap. Number 10 be sure to know your financial goals you will get to them. I'm a strong believer that in life you get what you expect so if you expect 3% returns per year you will find those investments if you expect 20% you will find those investments so it's just about what are you looking for and therefore you should really focus on your goals why what what you want from your investments because you will get there your mind will start thinking about how to get to those investments and you will find them so really think first about your goals don't invest go less because that's the quickest way to lose money. I hope you enjoyed my 10 rules comment add your own rules write them down it's always nice to see other people's rules share them let's create this a thread that people can come back and read rules take rules learn from others click like if you like the content subscribe thank you for watching and I'll see you in the next video.


Blackstone Publishing Presents Animals By Will Staples This book is read by Dion Graham. This is a story about animals, some of which happen to be human. Preface. Although wildlife trafficking is one of the largest illicit markets in the world, alongside narcotics, arms dealing, and human trafficking, very few law enforcement dollars are dedicated to investigating wildlife crimes. Thus, very little is actually known about how animals are trafficked. And most of the news stories about wildlife crimes, centered on poaching in Sub-Saharan Africa, are on the ivory markets of East Asia, with virtually no attention given to the dark underworld of corruption and organized crime that is driving the end of wildlife as we know it. It would be like knowing nothing about the drug war, except that cocaine is produced in the jungles of South America and consumed in nightclubs in Los Angeles. While the story you are about to hear is fictional, the characters, locations, and story points are almost entirely rooted in fact. They are the products of hundreds of conversations with everyone from Dr. Jane Goodall to rangers in Africa, CIA officers, epidemiologists, and detectives in Hong Kong. To experience the issue first hand, I journeyed to seven countries on three continents. During the Southeast Asia section of the trip, where I was aided by Swiss environmentalist Carl Amman, I purchased rhino horn and tiger parts in the black markets of Myanmar. Was offered sauteed tiger meat, later confirmed by DNA tests, in a casino in Laos. Infiltrated tiger and bear bile farms went undercover as a buyer in the largest illegal rhino carving operation in Hanoi.  I then traveled to Hong Kong and Macau, where I met with officers from the organized crime and triad bureau in the Hong Kong narcotics bureau to learn how the cartels, traffic animals, and how they used casinos to launder the money from those transactions. The final leg of the trip took me to South Africa in Mozambique, where I spent a week living out of a pickup truck with Damien Mander, founder of the International Anti-Poaching Foundation, after whom my son is named. Damien introduced me to rangers in Kruger Park, and took me to a court trial for a corrupt ranger who was colluding with poachers. We joined rangers as they intercepted a group of three teenage poachers with a massive suppressed rifle, and an axe, who were searching for a rhino. We then headed to private hunting reserves catering to Russian and American... Sample complete. Ready to continue?


Hey guys, welcome back to my YouTube channel. This is Daniel Rosel here. I want to talk through a few really important settings on the Canon Vixia HF-R800 via the audio capture and via the monitoring. Now monitoring if you're not aware is when you're listening to your audio as you capture it. And it makes such a difference that if you're using any external microphone, which is really recommended to do so, with this camcorder you'll get a lot better audio. You want to be listening to make sure the levels are correct. You're not getting anything like hissing. So there's a few things I'm going to run through them in turn. Number one, and this took me a while to figure out, whenever you're using an external microphone you pretty much have to be in manual mic levels. Okay, that's really vital. So when you get to that main menu screen there's a setting here for mic level and by default it's going to say A. A stands for auto and M stands for manual. Now what you have here and the bottom left is a level meter and it's moving up and down as I narrate this video here. And basically you have then these two arrows and you have a number, right? Mind set to 18. This is essential. Basically every microphone in my experience requires a different audio level. The way I figured out to use this, I don't know if this is necessarily the correct way or the only correct way. You want to firstly plug in your external mic and then you want to just speak or have your sound going on and see what those levels are looking like. You don't want them too low. You don't want them too high. You don't want them clipping and the level meter will give you those peaks. You can see there's like these flap bars that are coming as the main bar moves and you want to see them. I'm talking really lightly now. We're getting into yellow territory. So you don't want to have it set too high. Another thing you want to do is stop speaking, ideally not have sound and you don't want to be seeing levels registering. If you're not speaking and you're seeing the level meter moving then you've got a problem and it's probably going to come across as artifacts or hisses in the video. So that's kind of the first thing you want to do is set this. Now monitoring audio is really great because there's nothing worse than shooting a whole scene with a microphone. Then you take out your SD card and you realize the microphone was set poorly and the audio is terrible. That's really really frustrating when that happens. So monitoring is a great way around that and it's a pity not to monitor given the fact that the Vixia HF-R800 both has a mic input. It's got two 3.5 mils. One of them, the one on the left is for the microphone input. The one on the right is for the output from monitoring. So given that it exists it's a real pity not to use it now. Just in that regard there's a couple of things to know. So firstly you want to get to your mic settings by clicking on home then go into other settings. Okay now this is like the big the big bold menu on the Vixia. Now the one I want to draw attention to is, and I'm just going to go through it here, I think it's on the final screen. Yes it is. Okay on the final screen the one with the cog wheel that stands for settings you have a really important screen there that says a setting here that says AV slash headphones. Okay and then you've got one for volume and both of these are really important. AV slash headphones if you click into it you're going to have a choice between headphones and AV. If that is configured to AV and I believe it is by default you're not going to be able to monitor the audio with headphones. Now what I monitor audio with are basically these. I'm going to just drag this guy up a second here. These are I always get it wrong audio technica studio headphones and these things are absolutely incredible. So that's kind of the ideal thing you want to be monitoring with. So you want to change this to headphones and then all you need to do to monitor your audio capture is plug in firstly your microphone excuse me as I reach across my desk and then you want to plug in your monitoring headphones into the monitoring thing. Now the other thing to say here the other setting is the volume setting. Now the volume setting goes between goes up to 15 and I find it helpful at about 13 you can play around with that but that's going to basically be how loud it's going to go through your headphones. There is one disadvantage of AV versus headphones and that's as follows. If you're playing back your clips and I think I've just emptied my SD card no I still got one. So now watch what happens I'm in headphones mode watch what happens when I try to play back this clip it does have sound there's no sound. So AV is referring to the monitor so this is something that I don't like about the Vixia or that I wish this feature was a bit it was a little bit different. Once you've gone into headphone mode now if I plug in headphones I will be able to hear this but by default whoops by default when it's gone into AV in order to get that to play through.  Okay so now as you can hear my commentary is playing through the little speaker on the Vixia itself so that's really important to know that if you're going into so because I rarely play back my clips on the device itself this isn't so annoying but it's a little bit annoying it's sometimes in the field you do you do want to monitor through headphones and you also would like but you'd like to play them back through the actual speaker to like you know have someone listen to them so unfortunately it's like kind of one or the other unless you want to change the setting every single time which is a bit inconvenient. I hope this is useful those are kind of this these are kind of the key features as I see them for setting microphone levels and monitoring audio in the Canon Vixia HF-R800 camcorder

We'll proceed with the presentation of the post-quantum security of the Ewen Mansour Seifer by Gordon Allagic, chained by Jonathan Katz and Christian Majens, and please, the floor is yours. Thank you very much for the introduction. Yeah, so this will nicely connect to the previous talk because we are going to look at a very similar setting except from the viewpoint of provable security. I want to give a shout out to my co-author, who would have liked to give the talk, but couldn't come here because of visa issues. Here's an outline of my talk. I will start with some motivation. I mean, I'm in the lucky position that a lot of motivation was already covered by the previous talk and by Maria's talk in the morning, but still I want to add some a little bit of perspective from the provable security side. Then I will introduce some concepts and present our results and in the end, hopefully time permitting, I will also talk about our techniques. Let's start with the motivation. There was already a lot of surveys of quantum attacks against cryptographic systems. However, I want to give another overview because we need to kind of talk about them to compare the different models, especially the Q1 and the Q2 model. First of all, of course, we have post-quantum attacks or Q1 attacks where the most prominent family is, I guess, based on short algorithm against RSA and discrete log, and these are complete breaks of the systems. Also, against symmetric key cryptography, there's Grover's algorithm-based attacks and similar. These are generic attacks against block ciphers and hash functions, for example, but also quantum-aided differential and linear cryptanalysis, for example. These are not complete breaks, as we have seen in the previous talk and in Maria's talk, but they degrade the security compared to classical attacks. Questions, of course, by how much? Finally, there's this additional Q2 family of attacks based on Simon's algorithm, for example, and these are, for example, attacks against even when sewer and block cyber modes of operation, and these are also complete breaks. However, in this strong model, right? And as I will argue later, at least from the provable security perspective, this is, you know, it's very strong. It's maybe too strong, maybe not something that's really necessary to achieve. Now, the main motivation for this work is basically this arrow, which, for example, has materialized with the offline Simon's algorithm. So the worry is, there could be ideas in these Q2 model attacks that can be ported to the Q1 model, and then you get attacks that maybe are better than a plain Grover search attack and have speedups that are larger than Grover search, as you have just seen. So in summary, for symmetric key crypto, of course, quantum attacks are far less of a concern than for public key crypto, but still, where possible, we should definitely prove post quantum security to achieve certainty, to achieve a higher confidence in our crypto systems. Okay, so this was the motivation. So now let me introduce the necessary concepts. And we will immediately return to basically the question of what post quantum security actually is, especially from a provable security perspective. So I mean, the naive idea is just, you know, it should be security against quantum attacks. But what are realistic quantum attacks? And there are these two competing models, right, the Q1 model and the Q2 model. So let's try to be a bit more formal about exactly that means. First of all, what's common to the two models is obviously that quantum computation is allowed for the adversary. That's kind of the defining property. One implication that this has is that if we look at an idealized model, like for example, as in the previous talk with the ideal permutation, then we need to allow quantum access to the oracles that represent public cryptographic algorithms. And this is, for example, in the ideal permutation model or in the random oracle model. These oracles represent really an algorithm that you can look up on the Wikipedia or whatever and implement on your quantum computer. So this needs to, the quantum queries need to be allowed in these oracles. Now they start to differ. And that's basically because of two different approaches in the Q2 model, the approach is okay. How strong of a security model can we imagine? Of course, the strongest thing is to allow quantum access to everything where we still have non-trivial security possible. And this, for example, includes quantum access to online primitives. So for example, we would then allow quantum chosen plain text attacks and quantum chosen ciphertext attacks, quantum chosen message attacks, etc. However, in the Q1 model, we restrict to classical access of these online primitives. And the reason why this makes sense is basically that our main concern is that our devices that we use today, I mean, this one, it uses crypto. And I'm pretty sure it doesn't do quantum computation. So because these online primitives or these online queries model computations performed by the honest parties with the crypto system, it's reasonable to restrict to classical queries only. So in summary, from a provable security perspective, Q2 is somewhat unrealistic and Q1 should be sufficient. One interesting challenge in the setting where there's an idealized primitive in the Q1 model is that there's a mix of classical and quantum oracles because online primitives, offline primitives are quantum and online primitives are classical. This will feature in the evanement sewer setting. Now, I almost can skip the slide because evanement sewer was introduced a couple of times already, but maybe somebody is here that wasn't to the other talk. So let me introduce it one more time. The evanement sewer cipher is an extremely simple cipher that uses cryptographic permutation that is modeled as an ideal uniformly random permutation p from n bits to n bits. And this is public and the cipher is constructed by XORing the key into the message, then applying the permutation and then XORing here the same key, but one can also use a fresh key one more time. In some sense, this is the minimal construction of a block cipher. I mean, there's literally only three operations if we view this permutation as monolithic. However, despite its simplicity, it has found quite some applications. In particular, evanement sewer-like constructions feature in, for example, elephant, which is submitted to the current ongoing NIST lightweight competition. How about security? So as a reminder, the permutation is considered ideal. So an attacker needs to make queries to this permutation, and an attacker is also allowed queries to the cipher. And the right security notion for such a block cipher is that of a pseudo random permutation. So the task of an attacker is to distinguish the cipher from a random permutation. Now let's look at an adversary that makes QE queries to the cipher and QP queries to the permutation. The classical setting is this result that has been known for a long time that the product of the queries to the permutation and the cipher needs to be two to the N, or of the order two to the N, to achieve a constant distinguishing advantage. As we've seen a couple of times already, and as I've mentioned before, in the Q2 model, in this quantum access model, there is a complete break of the cipher. So that's the Simons algorithm-based attack that breaks it using order of N queries. Now the question is in Q1, right? There are attacks known, as we have seen, but there's no currently no or before our work, there was no proof of security in the Q1 model. Okay, so let me move on to presenting our results. And that basically consists of a proof of security for the even mensur cipher in the post quantum setting or in the Q1 model. So let me go through the theorem together with you. So we have two random permutations, P and R, P is the primitive and R is the random permutation that the cipher should be indistinguishable from. And we have the even mensur cipher that's constructed using P. Now any quantum adversary that makes at most QP queries to P quantum queries and QE classical queries to an oracle O can not distinguish the situation where O is equal to the even mensur cipher from the situation where O is equal to the random permutation with an advantage larger than the one that is shown on the slide. This result was already shown by Jaeger, Song and Tesaro last year for adversaries that in advance of their execution declare a list of queries that they will make to the cipher. And our result is for the adaptive setting where the adversary can adaptively to switch inputs to query to the cipher. The bound looks a bit weird in particular because of the sum, right? But it turns out that in a very natural setting where the number of online queries is much smaller than the number of offline queries, it is actually tight in the sense that it tightly characterizes the query complexity of breaking even mensur. And that's because of it matches the BHT and offline Simon's algorithm. Okay, so this was the result. Now there's I guess plenty of time left to talk a bit about our techniques and also a bit about our technical results, which might come in handy in the future as well. First, let me talk a bit about the general approach. So in the classical setting, security proofs for even mensur like ciphers usually use what I would call global techniques. So for example, a popular approach is basically to define some bad events that could happen in terms of the query transcript of an adversary. And now basically prove that these bad events only happen with a small probability. Another technique is the so-called edge coefficient technique. And it also kind of uses, let's say, non-local information about the query. So information that joins information from several queries together to reach the result. And these things are unfortunately not something one can do in the quantum setting because if you have quantum queries, you cannot compile in general query transcript. So one solution to this conundrum that was recently proposed is Jean-Dries' compressed oracle technique that allows for, in some sense, it allows to compile a query transcript, but it only works for random functions, at least currently it is not known how to do it for any other family, interesting family of functions. So because of that, we kind of had to resort to something more primitive in some sense, which is a hybrid argument. So there you just gradually change the real setting to the ideal setting and hope that the distinguishability of adjacent hybrids is not too large. Let me try to explain how we apply the hybrid argument here. So first of all, we split up the adversary into Qe plus 1 stages, one before the first query to the classical oracle, which could be the cipher or the random permutation. This is the task to distinguish the two. Then one between the first and the second, one between the second and the third, et cetera, up to one extra stage after the last query to the classical oracle. So here I want to note that each stage can make an arbitrary number of queries to the quantum oracle for P, except that the total number of queries is bounded by some number QP. So basically the adversary can adaptively choose how to distribute the quantum queries between the different stages. Now the naive idea would be, of course, to replace the instances of the cipher by random permutation one by one. So we start by replacing the first call with the random permutation, then the second, et cetera. However, there's a subtle issue with consistency of the oracles that come up. And I want to explain that in the next slide. But first of all, let me already present the solution. And it's a bit, let's say, naive sounding, but it works. It's basically to postpone the problem until it goes away. Sounds magical, but it works. So here is a little bit more detail. These are our hybrids. So indeed, the IS hybrid has the first I calls to the classical oracle be answered with the random permutation R. And afterwards we switch to answering with the Evans-Mansour construction EK. However, in addition, we need to modify the permutation a little bit from that point on where we switch to the Evans-Mansour cipher. The reason why we need to modify this is the following. So imagine that you have an adversary that just breaks the cipher completely and recovers the key. Then one thing one can do is first make a couple of random queries, then run this attack to recover the key, and then check whether the first couple of queries were actually answered by the Evans-Mansour cipher. So that I can now do a posteriori because I have recovered the key. And this is, of course, unfortunate because, I mean, of course, we don't think that it's possible to recover the key with a limited amount of queries, but we don't want to use the result that we are trying to prove to show that basically the adversary cannot notice the switch from the random permutation to the cipher. Therefore, we make these modifications to create permutation p tilde that slightly differs from p. Now, the problem is, of course, that p tilde gets messed up more and more as I grow. So we replace more and more queries, p tilde gets messed up. But if you look very closely, there are also fewer and fewer calls to p tilde. And in the end, it's gone. So there's nothing to worry about. So on a technical level, there's two steps in each transition from one hybrid to the next. And the first one is to replace the cipher by a random permutation and to repair this permutation p tilde at the same time. And the second step is to replace one call to p tilde by a call to p, right? Because we only want to use p tilde after the first call to ek. And these two steps translate into two technical lemmas. The first one is one we call a resampling lemma for random permutations. And the second one is a reprogramming lemma in terms of the expected number of quantum queries. Let me quickly tell you what these are. So the resampling lemma is a permutation version of what we used to call the adaptive reprogramming lemma in a work by Alex Bril, Kathrin Höfelmans, Andreas Hülsing and myself. And this is basically a game where an adversary needs to detect whether the permutation has been modified, but in a way that's consistent with the distribution of a random permutation. And I don't think I have time to describe the game in detail, but we can show that this kind of change in the permutation can only be detected with a small advantage. The second technical lemma is an expected number of queries version of the so-called blinding lemma that we introduced in earlier work with Gorin Allagit, Alex Russell and Fang Tsang. And there basically the adversary can decide everything except that some reprogramming happens that's randomized and the adversary needs to find out whether it happened or not. And the important part here is that we get about in the terms of the expected number of queries because if you remember each stage of the adversary could make an arbitrary number of queries except that it was bounded by the total number of queries and the sum was bounded. So somehow this expected number of queries avoids us to get another loss in terms of the number of classical queries. So I don't think I have time to talk about reprogramming in detail, but here really the adversary supplies a function, then it's reprogrammed or not, and the adversary has to detect. And this game has the typical advantage that you would expect in a setting where a Grover search is possible. Okay, so I think it's time to summarize. So we have proved the post quantum security of the even man sewer cipher. And this is in this Q1 model that is should be sufficient for security of classical cryptographic algorithms. And I mentioned applications of even man sewer like constructions. The reason why I didn't go into detail is because these applications, at least for example, the applications to elephant and also the ISO standardized Mac chaskey, they actually use generalized versions of the even man sewer construction. Also this work by Jaeger et al that proved the non adaptive setting, they can actually prove security of the FX construction that you have seen in the previous talk as well. And for this we have them follow up work by the same set of authors plus Patrick stroke. And I guess this will be on e print soon. I hope.  So I expect to be able to open a PhD's position and fall in beautiful Copenhagen. So if you know anybody, please ask them to apply. Thank you very much. Thank you very much for ending with the see you on e print soon. Line questions. Go on. Yes. Yes, use the microphone. Otherwise, we won't hear you. You shout the microphone is here. It's a very short question. I was just curious about the probability of distinguishing advantage in in the adaptive setting that you guys showed versus the non adaptive work. Was it the same or was there a game? So it's definitely the same up to the constant. And the constant is almost the same. I don't remember exactly, but I think the constant is within the effect of two of each other. So it's really the same amount, which is surprising in some sense, because their technique is completely different. Returning my question from just just to keep your life here. Returning to the quantum models q one q two. How likely is it for a hardware designer to understand whether they are probed classically, whether that hardware itself is probed classically or quantumly? Is there a chance to detect this in some in a certain way? Because the difference between the models where you can query where the quantum signal or with a classical signal, right? Right. And yeah, I mean, that's that's this kind of almost a meme. There's this this idea of the frozen smart card where you can kind of force it to behave like a quantum device. I don't think it's personally, I don't think it's very realistic. In particular, if I have my phone in my pocket, it's very warm for quantum standards. And so I'm pretty confident that it doesn't do quantum computation. I think if you can achieve q two security without a lot of extra cost, you should definitely go for it because what's the loss, right?  Definitely agree. On the other hand, we saw yesterday morning that they don't attack your smart card and while it's in your pocket, they have a lot. We have a lot taken out. And it's that's where security is will be tested to real adversaries. That's that's true. But still, I think the main picture that I at least have in my mind is basically a lab where somebody tries to take a cheap classical device and try to force it to behave it behave quantumly versus the insane engineering feeds that people try to go through to try and create an actual quantum computer. So somehow this gives me a lot of confidence that there's no accidental quantum computation. So thank you. Hey, thanks for the nice talk. I was just curious, have you thought about how the best attacks would change if you could pre process the permutation in Evan Montour. So say the attacker looks at the entire permutation advanced store some advice and then and then the attack is as Q1 here. Right, that's a very interesting question. So that basically this class of models that's called auxiliary input or a random model. And in this case, it would be auxiliary entered random permutation model, right? I don't know how it changes. And one thing that I can say is that as far as I know, the results that are known for auxiliary input models, they're quite complicated to prove. And in particular, some of them use a genre's compressed Oracle technique. And this of course poses a challenge in the setting with a random permutation. Awesome. Thanks. Thank you again.


People hear the word sanctuary and don't always know what that means and what we are is we're a home for the animals Cleveland Amory our founder always believed in creating a place where the animals could be looked after not looked at We're not an entertainment venue We're not somewhere that people can come for for the day just to enjoy looking at the animals We never put animals on exhibit even today at our open houses We do these for truly educational reasons We want to educate the public on the issues that these animals faced in their fire lives and hopefully Change their minds and get them involved in the advocacy to try to fix these issues So even today though, I mean as you see our chimps have gone up. That's their choice We don't guarantee anybody to see anything and that's not what today's about It's about to come here see what we do and see our mission We actually have 43 species almost a thousand animals roaming on 1,310 acres and they've all come from various backgrounds. We have the whole sanctuary broken up into four areas But basically everything comes from either cruelty neglect or exploitation We have chimpanzees that have come out of research laboratories We have primates that have come out of people's backyards and basements and there were pets That really shouldn't have ever been kept as pets. We have horses that have been safe for slaughter We have animals that have been Diverted from going to captive hunting operations where these animals are kept in caged areas And then there are price tag is put on their head and they can be shot and mounted for that price And instead of luckily we're able to get them here These are a danger at animals that are just truly being raised for one purpose and that's just to shoot them a mountain We've had horses to come in from the the drug Premarin which is pregnant mare urine is was what that stands for after their production cycle They're generally sent to slaughter We were able to get those horses here and they're living out their life on these pastures Which before that they were literally living in small stalls where they couldn't even turn around And then the other many as we have here came from the children's carousel rides where they actually sit on them and go Around in circles and when those guys arrived horrendous conditions a lot of those problems and not actually with walk-in circles still they didn't know anything So it's just every animal here has a story and we try to tell that story To hopefully get people to change their minds about some of these issues and all the animals that we have here and all the work We do directly ties into the campaign work that we as an organization the fund for animals and with our partner Organization the humane society the United States So for instance our four tigers that we have we have four tigers three will rescue from a roadside zoo Which is not any kind of an accredited zoo This is just a person that has a bunch of private animals and charging for people to see them and then Alex our fourth tiger Was actually a private pet in a backyard and a few people know that there are more tigers in captivity as pets here in Texas And they're all left in the wild and that is a horrendous statistic and so we're working in the legislative Process here in Texas trying to get a law passed to prevent and stop the private ownership of big cats and certain primates We did we tried it through that through the Legislative process last session it failed and we're coming back this session with the same law to hopefully make that change here in Texas To be able to stop this egregious Active of owning these animals as pets the every animal that come here is has been through some hardship and the various scales of that Some have been through the worst atrocities and bounced back very quickly some have come in and just whatever scars they came with Just don't ever completely go away, and that's fine We will work with every animal in every way we can and if they don't want to be around humans That's fine We don't ask them to our horses as you saw out there some will come up to the hayride Most of them won't they don't have any interest to have any interactions with humans, and that's okay It's all on their schedule and on their personality, but we do work to try out work on a trust Especially with our primates we want to have that trust with them, and they've been living in a biomedical research lab for many years And humans were always a negative element for them, so we really do work hard to get them to to Trust us and that where we can actually examine them we can look over their bodies We can potentially draw blood from them without actually having to Sedate them which is something very important, so we do what we call upper conditioning and we build that trust relationship Well our hope for everyone that comes here, and we understand many people come here They hear that we have this many animals this many species and want to come and see the animals And we want we want you to come in here and see the animals learn their stories, and then hopefully Come as an animal lover and leave as an animal advocate. That's what happened to me. I came here over a decade ago I obviously came here with a love of animals and I left to change and I knew from that point forward I could when you know better you do better and Suddenly I knew better and so therefore I it started my pathway to become an animal advocate And I got more and more and more involved the more I learned more our research more I realized that I had to do something so That's what brought me here today So it's just every animal here has a story and we try to tell that story to hopefully get people to change Their minds about some of these issues and help us get involved On the advocacy side and change the laws and change the the mindsets and change the course for many of the animals That can't unfortunately come


Attention five points residents. This is a community notification of a new sexually violent predator in your area. Please stay tuned to the following short program for more information. Hi I'm technician Ron Hackett with the Denver Police Department. The sex offender registration and compliance unit at DPD is responsible for the registration monitoring and tracking of all registered sex offenders and sexually violent predators who live in the city and county of Denver. Here's a brief history of sex offender legislation in Colorado. Our state laws trickle down from federal government mandates. In 1994 we had the Jacob Wetterling Act which mandated that states would establish a sex offender list. Megan's law of 1996 said that the public would have access to those sex offender registration lists. The Pam Litchner Act of 1996 stated that some offenders might have to have lifetime registrations. And the Adam Walsh Act of 2006 unified sex offender laws across a country. In Colorado the legislature has determined that sexually violent predators by definition pose a higher risk to the community at large and therefore mandated that upon their release from the Department of Corrections the community must be notified. Sex offender notification in Colorado happens in two ways. The first is passive and ongoing through the sex offender registration process which is a list maintained by local police departments. The second way is active via community notification for those offenders determined to be sexually violent predators by the courts or by the parole board. Most sex offenders in Colorado are supervised by the criminal justice system in our communities. Most sex offenders engage in crossover behavior which means they may have been arrested for one type of crime but be apt to commit another.  There is no typical sex offender but all tend to be deceptive, manipulative and secretive. 80 to 93% of sex offenses are committed by someone known to the victim. Sexual deviancy begins in mid to late adolescence. Sex offenses are not impulsive.  The community has a vested interest in helping offenders to be successfully managed in the community. Sex offenders have the same need for housing and employment as any other citizen.  There are approximately 16,500 registered sex offenders in the state of Colorado. About 65% of convicted sex offenders are placed in the community on probation. The remainder are in the department of corrections or community corrections. Offenders may be caught for one type of offense but be at a high risk to commit another type. Crime of conviction is only one indicator of risk.  The offender's residence must be verified quarterly by the Denver Police Department. The full sex offender registration list is available by calling the Denver Police Department Identification Bureau at<PHONE_NUMBER>. Convicted felons and those with multiple convictions are posted online at denvergov.org slash police.   Now, here's a look at the newest sexually violent predator living in Denver. Here's an overview of the registered sex offenders currently living in Denver. There's 2,356 total living within city limits. In Denver Police District 6, there are 415. Precinct 611 has 158 registered sex offenders. Of those, 98 have felony convictions and 60 have misdemeanor convictions. Daniel Glenn Watson is a sexually violent predator currently living in Denver. He's 45 years old and was born on May 16, 1971. He's a white male, 5 feet 11 inches tall, 193 pounds with brown hair and hazel eyes. He's currently a transient living in the area of the 1100 block of Park Avenue West in the five points neighborhood of Denver. Schools located within one mile of this offender include Polaris at Ebert Elementary at 410 Park Avenue West, University Prep Elementary at 2409 Arapahoe Street. Parks located within one mile of this offender include Lawson Park at 2301 Welton Street. Recreation centers located within one mile of this offender include 20th Street Rec Center at 1011 20th Street. Bus routes located within one mile of this offender include Route 20 20th Avenue Route 48 East 48th Avenue Route 15 East Colfax Avenue.  He's not on probation or parole and registered with the Denver Police Department on June 10, 2016 as a transient in the area of the 1100 block of Park Avenue West in the five points neighborhood of Denver. Past charges against this offender include sexual assault on a child, assault menacing, domestic violence, burglary, harassment, driving under the influence of drugs. Daniel Glenn Watson has been determined a sexually violent predator after meeting the following criteria. Criteria one age 18 or older on the date of the offense or under 18 and tried as an adult. The offender was age 21 at the time of the first offense and age 30 the time of the second offense. Criteria two the crime must have been committed honor after July 1, 1997 and convicted honor after July 1, 1999.   Criteria three the relationship to the victim was one of the following. Victim was a stranger to the offender or the offender established or promoted a relationship with the victim primarily for the purpose of sexual victimization. The victims were a 7 year old and 15 year old female. The offender was known to both victims. Criteria four positive results are the passing of a risk assessment instrument administered by probation parole staff and a qualified treatment evaluator. Positive results include an assessment for the presence of a mental abnormality, a level of denial regarding the offense, treatment appropriateness and motivation, presence of sexual deviant interests. The offender was evaluated by the Colorado State Board of Parole with positive results determining him to be a sexually violent predator.

Hello, my name is Frank Hwang and in this video I want to show you how to view the preface, critical commentary, and other helpful explanatory notes directly on your scores in the Henley app. Let's get right to it. One of the main differences between the Henley app and its printed edition is that in the electronic version you do not need to tediously turn back and forth from the score to the critical commentary. This makes learning about the historical background of the piece and studying from a urtex edition much more convenient. When you open your score, tap once in the center of the page and then tap on this icon in the upper right corner. After that make sure to tap score comments in the drop down menu. Once you have done this you will now be able to view your critical commentary embedded seamlessly in the score. The passages in question will be highlighted in blue. As you can see when I tap on them you will see a pop up here of the publisher's remark and for your convenience you can drag this anywhere along the screen. I really like how easy Henley makes this for the user. I should also mention that in the same drop down menu you will find other important historical background information to help bolster your performance of the work. Here in this Brahms Violin and Piano Sonata score that I have opened up you will find a facsimile of the manuscripts front page, preface, list of sources, and a letter to Clara Schumann about the work. In my opinion this specific feature makes Henley editions stand out from other sheet music. The true value of Henley scores lies in all of the important information that they provide through their urtex editions. I strongly encourage you to take advantage of all of this as it will provide deeper understanding of the work. To share a quick story with you, last year I performed the complete Brahms Violin and Piano Sonatas in Chicago. These are works that I have known for quite some time and so as I was studying through the Henley edition I was reading through the stories, the preface, the critical commentary, and all the letters that Brahms wrote to Clara Schumann. All of these resources provided new and fresh insights and perspectives of all of these wonderful masterpieces. I hope you enjoyed this video and found it to be helpful and I hope you will consider using this wonderful app. To read my review and overview please see the link below. Thanks for watching.


Now that you went through it, what's your feedback? I definitely left some plays out there. Yeah, some of the plays I just, I didn't make today. And he won, majority of them. Derrick, without you off, starting off as a line team, continues to win, what does this kind of say about what this team's made of, this run you've been on lately? I think this team is, well, I know this team is resilient, we play hard, we care about each other. So whoever's on the line with us when we play, we're going to go to war with. We love each other, and we're going to play for one another. How's the ability to continue to find ways, I mean, yardage today was out of whack, but the defense set you guys off just seven and two this month. It's supposed to be really tough. Your feelings on where you guys are? That's why it's the team game. When someone picks up the slack, defense helped us out a whole lot. And sometimes that's how it goes in this league. You hope for the other side picks you up, and that's what we did today. We'll get going on offense, and we'll finish drives, and we'll score TDE's, and we'll clean up the little things and go back to work, like we always do. Higiel, last year we would ask you guys a lot about the defense, about kind of having to carry last year, the offense largely had to carry week after week, and ask you guys about the defense. What is it like to see those guys do what they're doing this year? Well, two picks. We looked at each other, and we was like, we'll take it. So stuff like that.  I mean, it's not about carrying one another. It's about playing for each other. And so that's what we're doing on our three phases. As you've seen tonight. When Ramsey's chirping the way that he does, how difficult is that to kind of compartmentalize in real time and make sure that you're not responding in the way that would cause that chirping to the team? I don't mind the chirping.    So I mean, as you saw the game, I'm not going to get into all that. We got the dub, and I'm not about to make it about me and him. He knows me. He has my number, if you want to see me. But a lot of people, AJ, surprise. That ain't no threat, I'm just saying. He knows me. So if you want to talk to me and get at me, he got my number. A lot of people may be surprised at this result. Should they be? Surprised? I mean, the media will probably be surprised. But for us, this is what we expected.  But I think we had no doubt coming down here to that we was going to lose today. We had a lot of confidence going into this game, and we proved that today.


Hey everybody, welcome into another yes, we're here segment. It's Julianne Vianne brain at my house the New York liberty analyst And I'm joined by Liberty all-star Key and nurse from her quarantine position and first off Kia. Where are you at? It looks like you're in your closet or something and how are you feeling right now? I Am currently in my bedroom in Hamilton, Canada Spending some time with the family and it's been a roller coaster of emotions But we're all we're all right. We're all healthy and well, and that's all that matters right now Has this been the biggest break you've had in years? Maybe since you've been a little girl because I was thinking about it and I know as a former player It means you went from overseas work to literally right into the WNBA season and you go non-stop So this has to be a little bit strange Yeah I think one of the benefits of playing in Australia is that it's a short season So you get that extra month a month and a half off where you can kind of let your body Kind of get back into the swing of things before you start WNBA season So do I think this part of the month is gonna happen? Yes this extended period that I feel like we're gonna have off That's it hasn't been like that in a long time I feel like I haven't been in my house like this in a long time and around my family like this So it's good kind of on that sense getting able to catch up with them and see them more often But it's very I get very antsy in the house Like wanting to get out and do something. Oh Yeah, no doubt about it. You and I both okay. Well, let's get into some of your positives of your playing career a little bit I want to rehash maybe Something you can talk to us about your best memory in terms of a game or an inside Moment that you can share with people that maybe aren't as familiar with you I mean, we all know that you had a tremendous playing career at UConn and you now you're Considered a pro at the pro level. You're no longer rookie. You've got a couple years under your belt So do you have a special moment that you can share? Um, I would say Like most recently with the WNBL in Australia That last game-winning shot that I hit in the championship series So for me that was kind of one of those moments where after all of the years of like disappointment from both final fours my junior and senior year To a lot of close games along the way that we hadn't won That was one where I was like, oh, we finally got it Like we finally got it in the close game and that was really exciting and for me to have hit that shot That was a big confidence boost. So I think of a little bit more believe myself now that's interesting you say that because You know kind of piggybacking off of that. How has that made you a better player given you're playing these different roles on Different teams throughout your career. How's that made you maybe a more versatile player? Yeah, it's been huge for my development. I think now more than ever I've got a lot more confidence in my offensive game than I had before and I think that was a big part of being in Australia and being in a situation where my coach told me like go out there and be aggressive and we need you to score and I hadn't been in that situation in a long time so I think that was big for me coming back from Australia after my first year and Coming back to the WNBA season and feeling like this is a shot that I can take and make Because I'd practiced it so many times in Australia And I think this I was riding another wave of momentum coming off of this season in Australia, obviously a little bit awkward now But I think it's made all the difference in me being able to understand different roles based on what team I'm on Or who's around me and how to work with that All right, Keo, what's the best advice that you've ever gotten as a pro player or just personally?  I'd love to hear Since you played even more basketball since then what's the best advice you've ever gotten? Um, I would say two things. One is be yourself in whatever situation that you're in Have confidence in that person that you know you can be because it'll help you Be all the better and it'll help you understand that no matter what situation you're in no matter who your teammates are If they're new if it's a new kind of system that you have to get yourself into if you stick to being true to who you are As a player, you'll continue to grow and get better But definitely understand that comes along with the good things about you as a player But also the bad things that you know are your weaknesses and you have to address Um, and then I think the second thing is that it's a business, right? You're a professional athlete and that's what it is Um, you know, don't take things too personally everybody's in it trying to make sure that they keep their job every single day So they're gonna fight and they're gonna claw at you in practice So go out there and do the same thing and make sure that you have a job at the end of the day Yeah, you got that thick skin. I know it. I know it I also know you come from an insanely insanely athletic family lineage and I won't even get into it Just yeah, I'm gonna let you describe that to people that are maybe listening and For people who don't know maybe how athletic your bloodline is I want you to get into that because it's it's pretty fascinating to me You must have gotten good advice from your siblings from your uncle from from various people Yeah, it's really interesting because somebody always messes up my family line somewhere like somebody that's a cousin's always a Sister or some kind of that and I'm like, all right, I'll just go for you. Um, so if we go for my immediate family There's me and then I have an older sister Tamika who played at the University of Oregon and the University of Bowling Green Basketball, I have an older brother who was a year older than me. He was drafted Seventh overall in the NHL draft and he plays for the Edmonton Oilers currently Then there's my mother who was a basketball player for the University of McMaster here in our hometown Then my father Richard was a CFL player for six years For the Hamilton Tiger Cats My uncle is Donovan McNabb who played for Philadelphia Eagles majority of his career He's married to my dad's sister my auntie rocks who Played basketball for the University of Syracuse And then we have my cousin Sarah who is a woman's hockey player She has a silver medal from the last Olympics playing for team Canada And her brother Isaac is currently in the OHL as the captain of the Hamilton Bulldogs And I think I didn't miss anybody. That's incredible Are any of you locally there with you? So you've got some people you can talk to about this quarantining situation They they all understand that you're probably going to start creating Yeah, um, my cousins are definitely here in Hamilton Obviously I have my parents here at the house My sister comes in and out because she doesn't live at this house But she's in Hamilton Toronto area and then my brother's a constant FaceTime obviously with his season And the NHL and the uncertain same uncertainty that every other pro leagues in He's kind of where he is in Edmonton and camping out there for a little bit So he's like a double FaceTime call every single day, which is fun But lots of lots of people around that have just they understand it They don't really question why I'm going outside for hours to do a workout You know, that stuff's interesting.  I don't have a choice That's my job All right, key a couple more fun facts and fun questions before we wrap it up And I mean, I just want to know if you could have dinner with three famous people Dead or alive Who would it be? Beyonce Oh, tell us why I love it. I just always loved Beyonce. I always wanted to be like queen of the beehive I always want to be a backup dancer. Not sure why I went to her concert And when we were in New York last summer, I'm on my life. She was like right there Yeah, I don't know why I just like I've always loved her Yeah, like I like the way she handles things too, like you don't see her in the media all the time She doesn't do a bunch of stuff like but you know who she is. I like that about her um I would like to couple Barack Obama and Michelle Obama together as one person because like we should just have a family dinner, basically I I loved the experience of going to the White House and meeting Obama for two years with Yukon Um, I was always like maybe Michelle will pop up today. This might be the moment Um, and it didn't happen. So I need to have that that dinner to end that um And then the third one, I would definitely say Kobe Bryant Like I would just love to continue to pick his brain and and have a conversation with him I thought he had like the best grasp on life and basketball And I think that's something that I would love to keep talking to him about No, that's great stuff and my last question for you and maybe you already mentioned one of them But were any of those people your childhood idol or do you have another childhood idol that you can tell? Um, my sister was Michael Jordan to me because that's who I saw all the time My parents were both coaching when I was born So we would always be in the gym watching her play. She's like eight years older than me So I got eight years of that um, and I just wanted to be everything that she was and then it was Later in my life when I watched ESPN to really get ESPN Canada For the first time and my memoir was on a new con and that's when I was kind of like I would like to go there and I would like to be like her. So she became the inspiration after that Incredible choices. Well, thank you so much. Kia. I mean, I am so excited to see you back on the hardwood Really soon and as always stay healthy everybody be safe and quarantine All right next time. Thank you. See you soon. Hopefully


okay what we're now going to do we're going to solve the exact same example problem that we just solved however now we're going to do we're going to use the Heisler charts in order to come up with the solution so I'll begin by just like we did last time writing out what we know and what we're looking for we're dealing with that fuse-court sphere that is going through a change in convective environment and we're looking at transient conduction analysis okay so there's our problem statement fuse-court sphere we're given the thermal diffusivity thermal conductivity we're told the diameter is 2.5 centimeters we can get the radius from that initially it's at 25 degrees C and then it's placed in a convective environment hot convective environment so it's going to be increasing in temperature the convective environment 200 degrees C and H of 110 and we're told to calculate two things one is the temperature at the center line after four minutes and then the temperature at a radial location of 6.4 millimeters after four minutes so let's begin by drawing out a schematic for what this looks like okay so our radial location are and this is being exposed to a convective environment okay so analysis for this we're going to use the Heisler charts and we'll start with part one which we're looking for the temperature at radial location r equals zero and 240 seconds and so in order to do this in using the Heisler charts we're going to begin with the one that gives us the center line temperature and for that we need to evaluate the x-axis value which is just the 4a number and for that we get 1.459 and the curve the curve that we read is I believe I said it was 1 over the bio number so K over HR naught okay so those are the two values once we have them then what we can do is we can go to our Heisler chart so let's take a look at the Heisler chart and here we are very very busy chart a lot of stuff going on but it's not as bad as it might immediately look when you first look at it what we have here are our curves K over HR naught so we have to find the appropriate curve and we're dealing with 1.106 and so looking there is one and there is 1.2 so we're halfway between those two and then what about the 4a number where are we with the 4a number we had 1.459 so there is 1.5 so there's one 1.1.2 what are the increments of this one so I would say 1.459 it's probably somewhere right in about here so what I'm going to do I'm going to sketch up and that's up here somewhere and we're between those two curves so coming across I would estimate that we're probably somewhere right around .05 so let's take that as being our value and we'll work with it let's go back so that gave us the Y axis value and that is theta naught over theta I and from that we can go ahead and calculate T naught because that's what we're looking for we want to know the centerline temperature and what do we get we get 191.3 degrees C and when we did this using the approximate solution from the last segment there we calculated 192.1 degrees C so you can see we're pretty close we're a little bit lower with a Heisler chart than we were using the approximate analysis but that gives us the result for the centerline temperature after four minutes let's move on now so that was our Heisler chart what we're now going to do we want to find the temperature at a location off the centerline and so that was part two and so for this what we're going to be doing is we're going to be reading off of a curve r divided by r naught which that is 0.512 and the x on this curve is 1 over the bio number 1.106 and those were the that was the curve that we were reading in the previous graph and we're looking at the Heisler chart for the centerline temperature okay so with that now we go to our graph and we take those two so this is the graph for what happened spatially you can see on the left we have theta over theta naught on the bottom we have one over the bio so we were looking at one over a bio number of 1.1 so there's one there's two 1.1 I know it's probably someplace right in there you can see when you're using the charts you're doing a little bit of guessing a bit of a guesstimate for this and then 0.5 well we don't have a curve the radial location these are the radial location curves we don't have any 1.512 now we have a 0.4 and a 0.6 what I'm going to do I'm going to go in the midpoint between those two so we're probably someplace right in there that's probably closer to the bottom which it should be because we're at 0.512 so with that we then say that that's probably the location we come over we're a little bit above 0.9 so let me guess this to be 0.92 and with that we'll go back and assuming that the y-axis which is theta over theta naught assuming that that is equal to 0.92 we can then plug in all the values and again here what we're after we're after that temperature because that will be at the radial location at four minutes and notice what we need here we need t naught and that's pulled from the solution from the previous part and so that's why I'll probably recognize that number there and then we multiply that by 0.92 and when we do that we get t 192 degrees C and so that is the result that we get and let's compare when we did the previous example using the approximate technique we got 192.8 degrees C so slightly higher than what we're getting now but that's consistent with what we just saw let's see where was it here the approximate technique was slightly higher than what we got from Heisler charts for the center line temperature and so here we're finding the exact same trends so anyways those results are pretty close you can see the Heisler chart is relatively quick I didn't use a ruler where did my Heisler chart go there we go I didn't use a ruler here and if you had used a ruler it would be a little bit more accurate for either the center line temperature or the spatial temperature but when when we compare the results really not too bad so anyways that gives you an example of transient conduction analysis with convective environments for a sphere one of the three different shapes that we can look at and that is covering everything we're going to look at with transient analysis and heat transfer


Hello everybody. My name is Ke'Andra Jackson. I am a licensed marriage and family therapist here in the Los Angeles area And I had the opportunity to hear the mindful beauty workshop today, and it was utterly amazing They really talked about the connection between Beauty hair stylist and dealing with women who experience depression and looking for those symptoms when you are a beautician And I thought it was amazing because at a therapist. I know that it's important to identify those symptoms very early on And I remember as I was listening to everyone today My business partner always used to say that hair stylist was the first therapist And I never really understood it until I heard these ladies speak about this today And so I really want to get behind this initiative because I think Training more beauticians to identify those symptoms and know when something is wrong with their client will really be Beneficial in helping clinicians like us get the help that clients need


Alright, so we're going to talk about another herb today, which is a very, it's a very interesting one, okay? This is called the Sun Opener, or are you ready for the full name? Hemia salicyfolia, okay, the Sun Opener. We'll just call it the Sun Opener, right? This is a herb which is very important for a lot of tribes use this herb to induce very powerful visions It's been used for thousands of years But only recently have the, as a Western world, sort of realized that it exists and sort of learned about its benefits and uses And so that's what caught my eye about this particular herb, the Sun Opener. Now, there's a bit of sort of cliché new-agey-type stuff associated with this herb. A lot of people report that they take it and they're instantly connected with their astral guide or their spirit guide or wanderers and things like this. Now, I can't personally attest to that because I've not yet managed to try this herb, so I can't give any personal experience on, you know, how it works on you What I'm going to do is just explain a bit about the history, the benefits, how it works, the uses and things like that And then you can make up your own decision. I don't think there's any massive side effects to this, you know, there's obviously side effects to things like galantamine, but this is a more natural herb, okay? This is a fairly natural substance, you know, this is a herb, it's a plant, right? So it grows in the ground. Sun Opener is found in parts of America. It's found in parts of America, mainly southern America, Central America and Mexico and places like that. It needs a very hot climate in order to grow, so you won't often find this sold at local stores. This is quite a rare or hard to come by supplement or herb. Mexican shamans have been using this for a long time to induce visions, to know what to do, to like seek guidance from something higher, whether that's a place in their own mind or if you believe that it's a place somewhere else outside of your own mind. The shamans have been using this, the Sun Opener for a long time, to get those types of visions. It's said to have supernatural powers. Now again, I don't know how much of this is actually true. I will be testing it soon. I'm gonna try and get hold of some some Sun Opener, some Sun Herb, we'll call it the Sun Herb. It's actually called the Sun Herb or the Sun Opener because of the idea of it being able to induce these visions, but also because it has these yellow flower type things, these bright yellow flower buds that are about two centimetres wide. Now the traditional way of actually making this is ideally used as a drink, like a sort of a hot drink or a tea, is you would actually let the yellow flowers themselves wilt and die and then use what's left of that to brew a tea. You know, the best way of doing it is to actually ferment the flowers for about 24 hours or so, 24 to 48 hours, and then to add boiling water to them and drink it as a tea type, mixed like a tincture. Now interestingly, one of the key ingredients here, one of the active ingredients of the Sun Opener is a substance which mimics the effect of dopamine and adrenaline, which also feel good hormones, or you know, things that make us feel alive and buzzing and happy, which obviously explains why it's quite pleasurable and common for shamans to take this herb. Okay, and the active ingredient that does that is called phenylaniline. Again, these are very long, complex names. You don't really need to know this, but I think that's how you say it. Phenylaniline is the active ingredient which mimics dopamine and adrenaline. So the actual effects, right? What's it going to feel like when you take this? The first reported effects are that your muscles relax, okay? So much like when you do meditation, your muscles start to relax and you'll sink into a deep state of consciousness and relaxation. Then you will start feeling a sort of euphoric type high or like a almost a hallucination type state, hallucogenic type state, before going into the proper vision state, which I'll get into in a second. So interestingly, obviously it's called the Sun Opener because of the yellow leaves, but people also report seeing like a yellow tint to the things that they actually hallucinate about, which is kind of, I find that really interesting. It's able to influence the colors you see, and put sort of like a filter of yellow over what you are seeing. One of the most fascinating effects of this supplement or this herb is that after you, so you go through a hallucinogenic state, then you get the yellow tint type effect where everything you see is like gold or yellow. And then after that, people report being able to remember things from years ago, things that they didn't even know that they had in their memory. And it's able to unlock these memories and just have them open to you. So you can just, you can look at your memories almost like a book and you can remember these experiences and these things that you've done or have all heard or seen, that you had no idea you remembered. And I find that fascinating. The ability of the human mind is just so interesting. And so that is probably one of the reasons I would try it, is to just try and unlock some of those memories that I might not even know I have. And I find that very, very interesting. Fortunately, there aren't actually any side effects to the Sun Opener. As far as I can see, it seems to not affect your energy levels. There's no sort of lingering after effects the next day. There's no tiredness. There's no fatigue. And there doesn't seem to be any tolerances or issues either. The only problem I guess is quite hard to get. There's not any real sort of brand or company that's offering it or selling it directly. And even if they are, they tend to go out of stock very quickly or have stock issues or have very much like they have trouble with being reliable. So what I would say is I'm going to put a link in the description to a more detailed review that I wrote about this. Hamia Salafonica, the Sun Opener. You can actually get, you can actually get some liquid extracts of this now on Amazon. But again, I'll put the links to the best places to get this herb or this supplement in the description. So make sure you check that out. Leave a comment letting me know what you think. If you've tried this, I doubt you have because it's not very common. I don't think it's very common.
