There's some affiliate links down below for products and services that we talk about He have cents 2.45 is what I want to talk about today though. There is the release. I covered this yesterday and then In Evidently, this is what happens People's want to issue caution notices because of their bad experience with it But I think a lot of these people have not taken the time and I'm hoping to save many of you some of the headache of following some pretty basic Update process steps. They have an upgrade guy now I think because PF sense doesn't have like constantly new releases coming out all the time Where you're constantly updating your firewall that people forget that this exists So hopefully this is a reminder and it's not too hard to update PF sense But if you don't follow the procedures, you're gonna have a bad time First I will cover my update experience with one of my home ones which took a longer than expected And I bring this up because the neck eight SG 11 hundreds a newer product And this is a pretty you know reasonable upgrade that they had here And it did take 18 minutes to load the update and everything now I thought this was kind of a long time But it is an arm processor and extracting all the files needed on an arm processor gonna take a little while And to show that I practice what I preach. This is Zabix monitoring my home system right here You see the little pre-upgrade reboot and before we actually did the update And there's the update 18 minutes and then we have some telemetry data missing here for the Zabix plug-in Where the Zabix plug-in was updated and this is what it looks like right now up to the minute as of right now it is 630 PM Eastern Standard Time. So that's 1830 right here. And this is where the update That's the gap because somebody asked about memory usage and I'm not really seeing a big change in memory usage matter of fact It seems to be used a little bit less these ups and downs are probably low down the system and Things like that but overall after running it for from 1130 till 1830 here You can see very minor amounts of memory upgrade uses and multiple just me VPNing back to my house to watch something anyways Back to the video here What happens is when there's an update was run through the process here pre-upgrade test make a backup already made a backup That's with this little file is down here already downloaded So we got that part done prepare a backup plan prior to Updating your firewall on the off chance because well, it's your firewall It doesn't go well already have the download ready have the ISO ready have it ready to be reloaded ahead of time That's something we usually do that way if it does break because well my firewall breaks I don't have internet and I like to get it ahead of time So I have that already have it on a thumb driver However, you're gonna reload a thumb drive probably the most practical way But you know that way you have this at the ready when you do it And it works really well Reinstalling a previous release now This is something of note if you have problems your backup file the XML file I downloaded you can't go backwards So if you have the backup file from a newer version and you load back an older version But you had already updated and downloaded the back off the newer version you can't revert So something to think about now we run it all on hardware, but if you are running it on a virtual machine Obviously this becomes a no-brainer. We are running my lab though inside of here So I have these two snapshots and what these snapshots are is ones before and after the upgrade that way I don't have to wait for the upgrade to go again, but it upgraded perfectly fine in our lab Snapshots in a VM obviously one of the easiest ways to do this if you are running it that way Definitely some advantage you have just click the snapshot and revert to snapshot the pre-upgrade reboot This is a really important step. They say it's optional I don't think it is for our processes and one of the reasons why is these firewalls have long uptimes between upgrades You don't know if the drive may have a problem and what happens is if you don't do a pre-reboot upgrade and the drive was failing but because PF sense had all the Necessary components already in memory. It was still routing traffic when you do reboot Maybe it was for an upgrade you find out the hard drive Inside it was failing and now you've now conflated two separate problems You're thinking the upgrade was the problem, but it wasn't you already had a failed hard drive It was like you're dead and you didn't know it and this is one of those easy ways you can test just reboot the fire Offal comes back up running great now You know that your hardware is good now You can load the upgrade because like I said if a hard drive fails and it pulls all that data into memory and it's not doing many rights so anything you may have some logging errors and The system will just keep on running because it just can't right to the hard drive anymore So keep that in mind that real pre-boot upgrade they say optional I say not optional, but yeah, that's my opinion. They have this is their opinion. These are people to write the software Performing the update and packages This is the one where people are having this little update caution problem It says it pretty clearly do not update packages before upgrading PF sense just read that first line and stop and I bring this up because you notice that these packages need updating But so does the operating system if the operating system needs update Don't update the packages because you can end up with conflicts They expect you the folks over at PF sense and that gate to be running the latest version before you do the package updates so When there's a new version out when you're ready to load the new version only then load the package updates So that's an important step because you can end up with some version conflicts and end up some other problems And that's what this entire discussion and this forum was and I believe this happens almost every update when People start updating packages prior thinking hey want to get this package update stuff out of the way before I load the whole thing You're doing it in reverse per the instructions from net gate. So pretty important step right there The last thing I will mention just have note because I've done some HA videos They do have instructions for the HA down here at the bottom So additional notes upgrading high availability deployments generally the recommended path for upgrading high ability cluster is to first upgrade the Secondary node and after it comes back up put the primary node into persistent carp maintenance mode under status carpet and run it So they have a process for that. I know it's more of an edge case But they do have procedures for that as well But that important piece of it is the backup the reboot and now we're going to go ahead and update it now for Brevity and to make this shorter. I'm just going to revert to the other snapshot So I don't have to wait the it took like I don't know 12 minutes update But now I don't have the pause video for 12 minutes. We'll just go ahead and revert snapshot here You know, I don't think I need I'll halt it. I'd still do a proper shutdown I guess I don't really need to but we'll halt this and go over here and I'll just revert to the snapshot real quick So I'll go ahead and revert the VM to this one fire it back up and log back in it'll be all up to date All right So now I'm running the latest and greatest version if I already medically updated the packages I will admit my home system did not and all they had to do is update the packages in post I kind of mentioned that when I was talking about the second gap for the plugin update I don't know why it didn't update the plugin But I updated it in post and it worked perfectly fine. So it wasn't really a big deal Something else I'll mention. This is some further troubleshooting sometimes services. Don't start those are issues You can deal with so this one right here didn't so we'll go here to the traffic totals Update graphs display advanced. It's just kind of stuck. I notice if you click enable It thinks for a minute and then fixes it so minor problem I ran into when setting this up, this is the Traffic totals one so it's thinking thinking thinking and then it starts working again. It did this before there we go So that did happen from the update So there are some things like that now finally one of the other ways you can deal with this when there's a few things That get goofed up and maybe the upgrade didn't go right and I've run into this problem one You can just reload the firewall. I have the version. I have the backup file I have the one beforehand and now I can even make another one afterwards and we'll go ahead and do that So this is the backup that's going to be after the upgrade So let me open the folder and rename it So this is the before upgrade and this is the newest version. So if we look in this config file It's gonna be the latest version. Let's call it latest Config and I'll get rid of all the extras because I just don't need it It's a file of nice and simple. So there's the latest config now from here It's actually pretty easy with PF sense one. I can just master reset the firewall I can download download or whatever, but what I want to do is we're gonna go ahead and just choose the file But it downloads latest config Restore are you sure you want to restore now what this will do is just go through and PF sense will reboot and Reapply all the settings again. I've had like quirkiness over the years and this sometimes just fixes it It's rare that I have this problem But if you do it's not a big deal You could also just reset this to factory defaults even from the command line and the same thing go back in there As long as you can get into the interface and if you do factory defaults It's gonna go to default interfaces I'll be careful doing that in case you break a lot of other things But it's just not that big of a deal because everything you need is in that file So doing it this way now it's gonna go grab that file And it'll go through and install everything back again as it was You only need the one config that xml file everything from your passwords to your certificates to your config settings for your different packages are all within that file And this will allow you just to restore the system. So I've seen you know, this happened a couple of years I think it was almost two years ago There was a php update that caused the weird bug if you had updated the package is the same problem as package out of order But it was like reload to firewall if you had to if it got that bad because you know the mismatching problem and Pop a USB drive in with the config file and a matter of fact if you do it over the top There's an option for doing a rescue install so you can do an install and pull the config file all at the same time So not that big of a deal to reload pf sense if this worst-case scenario happens Just as long as you have a backup Unfortunately many people that contact us for that level of support. Oh, I didn't make a backup That's why I need so much help But can you try to extract it from there and yes, there is a backup file if you can boot off of another bootable and get the Drive yes, there is a Location by which you can extract that file and I can show you real quick as it boots up I'll show you where that is And right here so most people will never need to know where the configuration resides unless you're most people It didn't follow the backup and it's CS as Conf as config Excel typically Conf as a simulink for CF Conf will also be accessible directly from Conf s config dot XML varies by platform and file system layout But yes, this is something you can get if you need to extract it from a completely broken system that you somehow Forgot to back up beforehand because you didn't know about these documents, but you can tell the system It's just all backup and running out From the reinstall and it should have a note here Package reinstallation process finished successfully This is one of the steps when it did the reinstall it also grabbed all the packages and reset them up if they needed to be Because we didn't delete and purge or break anything from the restore But you can tell that it's working perfectly fine now So this is another way to fix some of those quirky issues We just do the restore on there and away you go and because we had this backed up with this VN stat D already working even that came right back up and running So hopefully this helps do the reboot do the backup before even do the reboot By the way, if that's if I didn't say that first that make sure you do that first So do the backup do the reboot do the update and if any of the packages need to be updated Go ahead and update them afterwards They should be automatically updated but I have seen like I said my one system at home shows not to Do them automatically but it do this and if all those files just push the backup over the top of it And it'll reboot again and reapply the configuration and that can fix it. So hopefully this helps you hopefully it saves you some headaches and Happy upgrading time.

Pre-contact 80% of Indigenous communities across Canada were matriarchal. What happened with the Indian Act is that displaced Indigenous women through targeted legislation, making it illegal for Indigenous women to run for traditional governance as well as vote within their communities. So my hope for Bill 41 is that it will uplift Indigenous women to their rightful place as matriarchs and life-givers in the heart of our communities. The rights of Indigenous women, children, elders and youth will be part of law and that's really important for the health and wellness and safety of Indigenous women in this province as well as across the country.


and welcome back to my YouTube channel! If you're new here I'm Sarah and I help teach people how to find inner happiness through fitness and spirituality. And a while ago I created a video on how to get out of a funk. Today we're gonna switch that up a little and we're gonna talk about how to accept and live with the funk. Not mean? Not what I mean? I didn't do it. So the last major funk. Not felt like myself. I have not been happy. If anything I've been very impatient and kind of like angry in a way. It's very weird. It's not like my natural set point so I've just been feeling so off and the fact that I feel off makes me feel more off and then it kind of just like accumulates and snowballs and I now feel out of this funk. And this is actually why I didn't post a video last week because I didn't freaking want to. I was like I'm not making a video. I'm not. I can't act happy. Like it's funny because I'm an actress and when I'm reading lines or filming or going over a script it's fine. But in like my real authentic self I can't fake it. I didn't want to film a video. I was not in the mood to do it. And I was just like I'm not doing it. And that's kind of what I want to talk to you guys about.  I'm so happy again. It's not realistic. One I think that's a huge misconception as far as like people that seem genuinely happy or positive the majority of the time. Like I feel like myself you know I am. I feel that for a majority of the time I'm pretty freaking happy. But it's not all the time and I want to talk about it. I want to dive deep into it and share with you guys what you can do if you can't get out of a funk. If you just kind of need to live in it for a little bit whether it's a few hours or a few days or a few weeks and hopefully not a few months but even so. The first thing I want to talk about is the realization and acceptance that you are kind of off kilter out of alignment going through a funk. Just really not feeling optimal. Not feeling your best. Not feeling happy. Compared to how you usually feel or usually are flowing through life. And I think the biggest part is you know once you do find that acceptance and you realize oh hey I'm out of alignment. I'm in a weird spot right now then it becomes easier to go through it. You know I identified like yeah I'm not feeling great right now so what do I do? Give yourself some freaking grace.  You're going to feel like this again in the future and the number one thing is to remember like it's not going to last forever and I think what could be helpful if you're watching this video and feeling this way is start to kind of track why you're feeling that way or when you're feeling that way and for how long it lasts because there could be a pattern there that you're not catching and if you start to kind of log those emotions the days the feelings so then basically you can go back and you can log all this stuff and then you can kind of trace it back to like what triggered you to feel that way and why you feel that way and and kind of see the pattern going on how long does this usually last what does it take for you to typically get out of the funk because then next time when you're going through it you can kind of look back and know okay this is only gonna last a few days this is only gonna last a week I can make it through it and just comes that understanding that this is not your life like sometimes if I'm feeling really off like that I'm like is this really what my life is like now and it's like Sarah that's so dramatic like no you're not gonna feel this way forever no it's not gonna stay this way and it will you know move forward you will feel like yourself again but like allow yourself to feel those things and another thing is is what's going to make you feel better even if it's in that moment now I am all for working towards long-term goals and planting seeds for you to get the fruit later but we're talking in this moment when you were just feeling like screw this screw everyone and you just have to live in in that state for a little while when I'm feeling this way I do not want to do anything I don't want to go to the gym I don't want to speak to anyone I don't want to see anyone I don't want to film YouTube I don't want to post content on Instagram or Twitter or whatever I don't want to work I literally don't want to do anything and for me this past time and I hope it's over I hope it's today's not like a glitch in the system but I mean I would say it was like a solid month plus you just have to give yourself some grace and do what you want to do in that moment that's going to make you feel better because the more that you do that the more you'll slowly start to climb out of the state of emotions that you're in something that I really like to do besides sit around and watch movies and watch TV is read I really enjoy reading when I'm going through stuff like this or even watching YouTube videos which I do all that anyway but sometimes I'll change what I'm reading for example I've been reading I think grow rich again and I'm freaking feel like reading that the last few weeks so I was reading another book and I was also reading the Bible a bit just like listen to what your inner self and your your energy is trying to tell you to do and I'll tell you what I'm certainly 100% an emotional eater like when I'm feeling down get me McDonald's get me candy get me whatever thing is unhealthy for you because I want to eat it for the most part I have a lot of control when it comes to my diet and what I'm consuming but what I'm feeling this way as long as I don't have something crazy coming up that I need to be lean for I just let myself eat it like who freaking cares you know what I mean however if you're going to allow yourself to eat those things or whatever your choice is if you want to have a glass of wine or something like that and you're gonna beat yourself up after it then don't do it it's not worth it it's not worth making yourself feel even worse for but if you know that you can go get a burger two double burgers with cheese only in a large fry from McDonald's and not beat yourself up about it then go for it learn how to say no I think that's something that people need to do in general but especially when you're not feeling yourself and you don't you know you're not feeling up to it don't feel like you are obligated to go you know spend time with friends or co-workers or this or that you don't owe anyone anything and if you are feeling like you just want to be alone you just want to be to yourself you don't want to hang out with anyone say no for example I was going through this over the weekend you know about a week about a week ago and my roommates were going bowling normally for the most part I'd be down to do that I love bowling I love going out I love staying time with my roommates I didn't want to I'd had a headache for three days I just gotten rid of it it was late and I just wanted to lay down in bed and watch a movie and that was fine and you know what would I've had a good time if I went maybe could it have been a better thing for me to do in that moment maybe but I listened to what I want to do and that's what I did and I laid in bed and I hung up on myself and my cat and I ate some snacks and so don't be forcing yourself to do things that you don't want to do especially when you're just not feeling up for it and you're not feeling yourself it's okay to go through these negative states and have these negative emotions and be feeling this way because we're human hello even people that you see on social media that you think are so happy all the time they're not created to be that way and the thing is as if you continue to push down these negative emotions and tumble over them and say oh no no no that's not me I'm not feeling that way because I did that for so long you're pushing that negativity deeper into your being deeper into your body and it's gonna make it worse for you it's going to create mental health issues it's going to create physical health issues it's going to f up your whole frickin day it's just a part of the human experience if you even feel like you need to get away for a few days which trust me was definitely something I wanted to do and I actually got to do for a few days do it like go rent some word cheap go get a cheap hotel room a motel room you know was that red roof in motel six I mean shit go get away bring some books with you bring some music bring a journal bring snacks bring like literally whatever you want to do and just remove yourself from your current environment and that might be the only shake-up that you really need to get yourself kind of out of it now for me when I was able to kind of get out of my environment it did change my state of emotions and my my unhappiness in the moment for those few days and then I got back to real life back to my house where I live and I was like I still hate people which I don't I'm not that kind of person but I forget admit to you guys that when I go through stuff like this like I do feel that way I was at the grocery store the one day nothing happened it wasn't overly crowded nothing was wrong I got all my groceries and all of a sudden I got this like tension in me and I was like I need to get out of here right now I could not be around these people anymore so I paid and I left and that's what I needed in the moment so my whole point is here guys is we all go through this and you need to just understand that it's okay do not beat yourself up about it allow yourself to feel the emotions recognize that this is not going to last forever it's happened in the past and you got past it it's going to happen in the future and you'll get past it and while it's happening now guess what hmm I promise I hope you guys enjoyed this video I love you guys it's going to be okay you'll get past this if you have anything that you really love to do when you're feeling in these funks you're not really feeling yourself let me know in the comments below you next time and don't forget be limitlessly yourself


You have the same thing, 20 minutes, I'll give you a warning at 15. Okay, thank you. And thanks to the organizer for giving this opportunity to present our recent work. So, I'm a PhD student in University of Parma, and this is the work on understanding last I had a relaxation for them, I think it's a very big joint experimental and computational study of family activity, the late person study. And this work is also done in a very close collaboration with Professor Eric Eastman Coleman from University of St. Andrews, UK. So, the family activity data sources is mostly used in organic light emitting diet, which is in short called OLED, and they are basically used on mobile screen PV. So if we look at our screen. We have three basic color, red, green and blue. And under each pixel, we have small device and in the device we have ETL, H2L that is electron and whole transmitting layer and in between we have EML where the main photo physics happens. And in that EML, we have our host and emitter. Emitter is the molecule that emits light, which cause that different color. And our main focus for today's talk will be emitter and host is basically helps to change the environment for our molecule. So let us see how it happens. So when we inject electron and whole, they pay ourselves. So they usually have half spin, and now depending on the combination we can have singlet or triplet. And from the spin statistics, we know that we have 27, 25% possibility of singlet and 75% population triplet. And depending on the method from the singlet or triplet, how the light emits, we have three different generations of OLED. The first one comes from the singlet. So initial days the OLED was basically on fluorescence-based molecule where we have the triplet, but triplet was a dark state because it has a different spin. But in this situation, we can see is that as we have 25% population in singlet, we can have maximum efficiency of 25%. Now if there is another way that we can get light out of triplet, we can go to 75%. And that is the second generation of OLED, which is based on phosphorescence. But if we put some heavy metal in our molecule that increase the intersystem crossing between the singlet and triplet, then theoretically it is possible that we get 100% efficiency for our OLED. But here the point is that we have to use a heavy metal. And it's also a spin forbidden process. So though experimentally it is not possible to get 100% and there is not much color purity. And it's also not eco-friendly. And then we have the last method so far, which is called thermally activated light fluorescence. What happens here is that from our singlet, we are getting from fluorescence. That's happening in nanoscale region. But if there is some way that I can convert the population of the triplet from there to the singlet. And I can get light out of there. And that is called delayed fluorescence. It is delayed because we have to make this reverse intersystem crossing between the triplet and singlet. Which is a spin forbidden process and also we are going to hire energy from a lower energy state. So it takes, so it comes around microseconds scale, time scale, but it's happening from the same excited state as from fluorescence but it's just delayed. And delayed fluorescence is a very old term. It is came out in 50 or 60 years before but it was only 2012 when Chihya Adachi from Japan made device out of this phenomena. And it was completely using organic molecule and after that it got huge attention. And it is called thermally activated because we usually prefer the singlet and triplet energy gap to be within room temperature and energy. And recently this process is also used for bioimaging because there is fluorescence imaging and that is a very short time scale. For delayed fluorescence we are again getting the emission from the same state but we can collect our data for a longer time and that's how it's getting attention. So we'll focus on TADF today. So let us see what are the key properties to get a good TADF emitter. I talked about singlet-triplet energy gap and as I'm talking about reverse net decision processing rate, we understand that we will prefer the singlet-triplet energy gap to be small. We prefer it's zero cap. And to do it and to get it from an organic molecule we usually prefer our donor accept a just transfer donor acceptor system. We also prefer that our donor acceptor will stay in such a way that they won't talk to each other. So we prefer an orthogonal donor acceptor system. So in this way, our S1 and T1 should be pure just transfer singlet and pure just transfer triplet. So S1 and T1 will be almost regenerate and will keep us zero energy gap. But here we got a problem. The problem is the spin orbit coupling, which is responsible for the reverse intersystem crossing rate. If they are pure just transfer singlet and triplet, they will keep us zero spin orbit coupling, which is not good. So we want to be completely degenerate state to get it zero energy gap, but we also don't want it to be pure just transfer state because we want the spin orbit coupling. So this entire molecule will be inside the host, so it is also important that we consider how the environment will affect. And this molecule as we prefer that our donor acceptor will be orthogonal, but still that dihedral angle between then donor and acceptor is almost free rotation it will rotate. And that's why it's very important to check the conformational distortion because when the molecule distort the energy gas spin orbit coupling everything changes. Today that is the focus of my talk. And for that I will present to molecule the first one is the matter is the second one is the math by day. They are almost same but here I have one extra nitrogen and because of this extra nitrogen the crystal structure is completely different. So here we can see that this is the DMACC and DRC from the crystal structure they are almost orthogonal, which was something we liked. And he this molecule has a kind of different painting structure. And the optimal image blue light. So my main focus will be DMACC by DRC but sometime I will talk about DMACC DRC the first molecule whenever it is necessary all the computational studies are done in Gaussian system software and just 6 to x functional 631 gd basis and that's just calculation. So first we will look at them at DRC. So when you optimize them at DRC the in the ground state the DMACC and DRC the donor acceptor was completely orthogonal. And we got completely degenerate S1 T1. Here we can see that it's a jazz transfer where the jazz transfer is happening from the donor to acceptor. And in this situation, we got zero spin orbit coupling that says that we have no risk. But we know that my case is a blue day. So the structure in the ground state is not the same structure in the excited state. So we try to optimize my excited state and when you optimize. We saw that the S1 stays at orthogonal, but for the template, the structure relaxes and it relaxes around 60 degree. So we wanted to do it a more systematic way and we did it rigid. In the rigid schedule scan, we don't allow the molecule to relax. We just take, we just rotate the DMACC, the donor and acceptor. And we plot our energy. So here we can see is that the ground state that is S0 has a minimum around 90. That is something we got from the optimization material, but when we rotate we move from the angle the energy increases for the S1, which is the singlet first singlets jazz transfer singlet. It also has minimum at 90. But if we look at triplet, we see is that triplet comes down, it keeps a double minimum around plus minus 30 from 90. But when this happens, there are two things. The first thing is that the spin or the energy between the singlet and triplet increases, which is the black line here. And we know that it is not good for a TADF because we want zero energy. But at the same time, the spin orbit coupling increases, and that is good for a TADF system. So, from this point, we immediately understand is that the first thing I told that it's, we want just transfer but we also don't want so just transfer. And it's important that we look at both the parameters. So, what we understand from here is that in the grounds that we have our tonal geometry in the excited state molecule relaxes. And because of the relaxation we gain some spin orbit coupling. And from that spin orbit coupling. There is a reverse intersystem crossing between some middle and triplet, and that's how it becomes a TADF emitter. So, we wanted to do a same approach for our next molecule, which is to map ideas. We went for a tonal geometry, we did the scan. Here I'm showing some more higher excited state which was triplet localized on acceptable donor but you can see that they don't interfere much in the process. So, what we can see is that when we go with the optimal geometry of the MAC by THC and we rotate the single triplet comes down because of this nitrogen, the homo-lumo gap decreases and the single triplet comes down. But still this scan does not give us the idea of having a bench geometry in the crystal structure. So, we don't get what we wanted to get. We get a relaxed geometry scan. What we do in the relaxed geometry scan is that we rotate our donor acceptor and then we allow our molecule to relax but we don't allow the trihedral angle between the donor and acceptor to relax. And in this way, we can get the orthogonal geometry. So, first this dotted line was related to the orthogonal geometry which did and then when we did the relaxed scan. We can see is that we can get the bench geometry out of our scan for both the structure for the MAC by THC as well as the MAC by THC. But what is interesting here is that if we look here that solid lines gives that the orthogonal geometry to be the lowest energy geometry for the MAC by THC which is correct that's the crystal structure. And for the MAC by THC we see that the bench geometry is the lowest energy geometry from this scan and that is also correct because that's the crystal structure. And for the MAC by THC we get a transition stream but we are not interested for that. So, what we understand is that for the MAC by THC it was enough to go for a rigid dihedral scan and we understood things. But for the MAC by THC to understand it, we had to go for a relaxed geometry scan and it's kind of give us the idea of plastic geometry. So now on these solid lines which is relaxed geometry we did, we ran our DDTFT. So here we will try to just look at the red line and black blue lines which are simply all just transferred on triplet green lines are localized state and we are not currently interested for those. So if we look at the second structure here. That's the first thing that comes here is that the blue line that is simply it has a minimum around 90. So the idea from here is that we start from a bench geometry, the molecule is excited, but if we allow the molecule to relax, the single will come to 90. But in case of triplet it is not very clear from this geometry, and we can run full geometry optimization and we'll see that later. This is what we get from this scan here but in case of demarcation, the S1 optimized geometry stays at 90. That was also something we saw before for triplet. Here we can see that the minimum comes around 60 that was also something we saw before this one is here we have another minimum but we have checked a lot of times. There is not much population, I mean we never found any population here. So we ran the full optimization of single for TMAQ by THC and when we optimize it, we always got orthogonal geometry. So we just kind of similar to demarcation. Let us look at the spectra now to understand it. So if we look at the spectra, the first thing which is clear the solid line is absorption and the dotted line is emission and in this direction the polarity is increasing. So the first thing is that the absorption spectra of demarcation by THC is blue shifted that says is that the energy gap between the ground state and the excited state for the demarcation by THC is higher than the demarcation. And that's possible if we consider the main geometry without monogymetry. But the next thing which is much more clear is the stroke shift. For demarcation the stroke shift is very small, but for demarcation by THC that stroke shift is very high. And this large stroke shift can be explained if we consider the large relaxation of the second molecule. So now if we look at our oscillator strength for the orthogonal and the main geometry, there is that experimental data that says that the oscillator strength of the second molecule is 20 times higher than the first molecule. So the first molecule when we stay at 90 degree, it's a pure just transfer excited state. So the oscillator strength is calculated oscillator strength state zero. But if it's a main geometry for the next one, the oscillator strength is much more higher that comes around 1.2. And that is exactly something we get from our experimental data. So you have five minutes, it's 15 minutes. So the idea of the main geometry in the ground state and orthogonal geometry in the excited state for the second molecule is correct. And here is a temperature dependent emission spectra for demarc by THC. So this is just in two methyl THF at 77 K, the emission spectra. So we know two methyl THF is very polar, but if we at very low temperature, we see that we have negligible stroke shift. And this negligible stroke shift is because when we habit the main geometry and we excited the molecule, we kept it in a very low temperature, the molecule could not relax. Even the stroke shift is smaller than cyclohexane, which was very non polar. So the idea of relaxed, bent orthogonal is the way we went, we understood. So this is a correct idea. And for triplet, for the second molecule we got two triplet, one was 60 degree in plane, and the one was 30 degree out of plane. So there are two triplet and we are not really sure which one really happens in the excited state. Just one data about the net film study is that if you allow the molecule in the room temperature, if you allow the molecule to relax. If you give enough time, everything will relax and we get emission only from the relaxed geometry. But here if we see is that if we are in low temperature, we don't allow the relaxation. Then we have the same bed here from unrelect geometry, but if we allow enough time in the room temperature, then the molecule gets relaxed completely. So here's a schematic just to say that we have two triplet geometry, two optimized for triplet for our second molecule. But the bench geometry and the two triplet optimized geometry, the energy gap is very high to be 88F. At 90 degree, the energy gap is smaller. And then we have a spin orbit coupling high and then demarcated. So we have two different molecules, two different structures. But when we, for the second molecule we start from a geometry that is not the idea, but if we allow the molecule to relax, it becomes a bit better. So it's very important that we look at this geometry in the ground state in the excited state temperature solvent to understand what really happens in the process. And I hope this gives a good idea about how much relaxation of the system in different environment. And thanks for listening. And thanks to my professor and the primary professor and professor like this man Coleman, the collaborator. Thank you. Thank you. Yeah, it's a very interesting talk. So we have time for maybe one or two quick questions or maybe one question actually do. I see some hands. I don't see any hands but there is a comment in the chat box. Oh, there is a hand. Just give me one second. Yeah, there's a comment in the chat box by under the Muslim dad. Would you like to ask your question. Is this a question or a comment would you like to. Hello. Yeah. Usually spin orbit coupling is also like used to explain the population of triplet from singlet states. So, like what is the driving force mainly for risk that how different it is like is there any magnitude effect which plays a key role. So, for intersystem crossing, we are going to triplet from singlet. Okay, so the energy, so we are going to lower energy from a high energy state for reverse intersystem crossing we're going to higher energy state from low energy state. So the energy that matters, and the spin orbit coupling matters. So the spin orbit coupling is always there and higher you have the coupling high risk that is great. But if the coupling is higher than the probability of triplet population also increases like we've seen heavy atomic effect and. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. It's kind of reversible so you have both. Okay, okay. Thank you for selecting the question from Giovanni Bressan. I mean Giovanni, would you like to ask a question. Yes. Hello. Thanks for the talk. I was just curious about the emission spectra because I've noticed that as a function of the solvents. I mean the redshift changes of course but the shape changes if you could go back to that I remember the one as a. Yeah, so in. Cycloxane right you have this sort of double peak structure, which and it's also like where you have the smallest redshift with and here these are normalized so it's harder to I guess like tell if the yield is going up or down either right. I'm not sure. No, I don't know, because it looks to me like that. I mean, Cycloxane is quite known polar so the charge transfer might be quite so I'm assuming that these could be sort of you still have some emission from the donor, you know, you'd like the energy transfer sort of. It might be due to there is a small localized and just transfer character. Yeah, because the more you go to the red the more it loses like features and the more it looks like a charge like a sort of exit flex kind of thing. So, or you don't, but like your, I mean that shape thing doesn't come out of your calculations right. Okay, thanks a lot. Thank you. Thank you, I think that's all we have time for at this point, so I think we should move on. Okay, so let's move on. So in fact, this is the end of this session we're actually going to the last session of the day.


All right, these are my office hours on Tuesday, July 5th, 2022. I'm gonna share screen for a second. The topic for this office hour is creating an OGM slash relate vision video. And I fear this may be an inconsequential fear, but I fear that I'm stuck in some of the regular ruts that I've been using for a while to explain why OGM exists, why relate exists. And one of those is that we're sort of in a time when we're being spun and I'm not even saying it as well as I just said it, that's too bad. How did I start here a moment ago? I know, you can help me. It was a dark and stormy night. No, that's not what I did. It was about the polarity, I remember that. Yeah, so we're kind of in this polarized world where we're in a huge Mexican standoff that keeps us from governing our country properly. And in fact, we're sort of approaching minority rule. There's this whole dark scenario I paint about how democracy might be ending. And in the meantime, we have these climate crises and other crises facing us that we're unable to actually deal with because we're so messed up dealing with other stuff that is in some sense a time waster and in another sense just crucial. And so building a shared memory and being open to other people who have different opinions is a way of bridging the cultural divides, is a way of maybe getting someplace where we could make more rational decisions together and start to govern again as a community, as people who are interdependent. And so that's kind of a negative path into why this exists and because it's that negative and also political, I kind of try to overlook it. But then there's this piece about, okay, once you start talking about building a shared memory, there's this very positive piece, which is I think where the vision video wants to go, which is, hey, if this thing works, if we wind up getting a shared memory, we have these contagion effects into education, journalism, science, elections, politics, governance, and probably other fields that are right next door to those things. And I can talk about that. I could basically illustrate, okay, how might this change education? Well, and then lots of different places to go there, but what if the assets that students were creating were more durable for them personally, but then the best of those assets actually became part of the shared assets like the Wikipedia. And here the Wikipedia is the example I have to hold up all the time. Please jump in. Yeah, first off, I mean, if you could explain how, by unraveling that ball of yarn, you wouldn't have to throw out the whole ball just because you didn't agree with it. You'd be able to find the pieces that you could take from it and use. No, you're not. I think which ball of yarn are you referring to, the tangent political message I just referred to or just the issues on deck? Well, you're saying you wanna be able to find a positive spin. Right, well, shine a positive light on this. I don't even know that I wanna see a positive spin. I think that there's different ways to explain the situation, some of which are really dark, some of which are much lighter. Right, like sometimes what I'm saying, so the positive light on it though is that things may not really be as polarized as they appear because we're seeing the extremes on the outside, like we're not hearing the moderates on the inside, but if we were able to unravel things, like even in our group of people that we love, if we dug deep enough, we would find disagreement. Because we trust each other, we lean into it and we're able to get through it and take pieces and leave pieces, but that doesn't happen in the bigger world. But if we were able to break apart some of those ideas, not throw them all out, when we don't agree with something, we'd be able, like you're always saying, we'd be able to share the things that work for us and then move on to something else, like I'm not finding the right words. I think I've captured some of it here in the box. Yeah, I think so. I like that. And there's just a whole bunch of observations and assumptions behind this argument or this conversation because a part of it is that the internet as a medium seems to turbocharge extreme voices. It seems to favor them, it seems to make them louder, it spreads them faster, all that kind of stuff. So we end up thinking, oh my gosh, all the world is extremists and we must be going down the tubes because wow, look at all this vitriol. When in fact, people who are in the middle are A, discouraged from participating, B, not that motivated to share out what they know or think or say because it's not that extreme, it doesn't, it won't attract clicks or whatever, but and so forth. Or it's happening, it's just happening in some quiet corner of the internet where important conversations are happening and it's not going viral or anything like that, right? So that's a nice set of thoughts here.  So I have a whole thought called tech utopian videos and demos, one of which is the Apple Knowledge Navigator video from 1987. And I think I've mentioned it a couple of times, have you ever seen it? I think he said to me once, I think I did watch it. Oh, cool. And it's got kind of like an on-screen assistant who's trying to be helpful to somebody who's doing research and this and that. And in retrospect, it ain't bad. Like I have a voice recognition assistant at home that called the Google Assistant that will in fact go research stuff and answer questions for me, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. I have a highly evolved visual interface and little magic devices that didn't exist in anybody's head in 1987. I mean, 87 is pretty aggressive for all this kind of vision. So I'm kind of inspired by that. And then somewhere on the line, this quote from The Little Prince showed up, which is interesting because I think this came up in one of our OGM calls, like the build OGM calls or the check-in calls where the quote from Little Prince is to build a ship is not to weave the canvas, force the nails, read the stars, but rather to give the flavor of the sea in the light of which there's no longer anything contradictory but rather community and love, which is lovely. I think it's partly that, I think the quote is also, there's either another quote or this one gets misinterpreted to, you just have to teach people to love the sea. And so there's a piece of that. And as we were talking about building OGM, I had written this note, two paths ahead for building OGM. One is create a vision and then start to create architectural scaffolding so others can come and add things. And this should actually be connected to potential OGM architecture components because I have a nice long list up here, geeky software and other sorts of platforms that might fit into a solution. So that's kind of what that is. So what else comes to mind? And just while I'm talking, I think you saw the video I did earlier, which was just like painting with words but talking about the relate use cases of, hey, a book is just a playlist, a PowerPoint deck is just a playlist. What if we can rev on the nuggets and improve the nuggets and all that kind of stuff? Let me go here to PowerPoint killers. What are they lists? Books and presentations or playlists? That's the thought I'm looking for. So this can go to PowerPoint killers. This can now connect to the relate use cases, which is where I said that. And then I can't actually read what that says. Let me go back to PowerPoint killers. And here's Markdown presentation apps, HTML5 presentation apps. And this can go there. Okay. And that seems like too geeky a starting point for a vision video, but I like it. I like this video that I created because for me, it was very tangible. I was describing something that was easy to see and something that some people might actually like to use. So I'll connect it up to our relate vision video thing here. Oh, I've already got the relate use cases down below. So let's put this up here and then they're both connected. Okay. There's also a bunch of other tech utopian videos and demos, not all of which are very good. Some of which inspired a whole ton of people. Are you familiar with Engelbart's 1968 demo? No. So this one is worth watching a little piece of it just so you're a little familiar with it. So I will send you a link to this. I think this video should still be around. Copy. I'll put it in the chat here for now and then I can copy paste those somewhere else later. There we go. I can do it. But it's pretty amazing because in black and white on little TVs in 1968, this guy, Don Engelbart, basically patiently shows a way for collaboration to happen with really early computers where just having images, everything we take for granted right now, I have a little mouse cursor that my little arrow moving around on screen, he invents for that demo. And the idea of a window, I'm seeing you in a little zoom window. I've got my brain in a window. I've got obsidian in a window. The idea of windows overlapping on screen, I'm not sure he's overlapped, but the idea of windows on screen comes from his demo. The idea of time sharing so that multiple people can edit a document, that's in his demo. It's shocking the number of things he demonstrated in 1968 that nobody was thinking about or practically nobody. So what I'm hoping is, oh good, is to tie into some of that energy. I just relocated another thought I had in my brain which is precursors to the internet and the web. And then I made a collection that's overlapping with the tech utopian video thing we just saw. But this one is basically visions that have inspired builders of global brains. And here there is the philosopher, Teilhard de Chardin's idea of the noosphere. That's inspired a bunch of people. There's Ted Nelson's book, Computer Lib Dream Machines from 1974 before Engelbart and Nelson's one of those sort of visionaries. This motivated a lot of people. There is The Memex, which is Vannevar Bush's idea of a memory searching device that would be like a desk with microfilm in it because that's what he had at World War II era was microfilm. There is the Rhizome, which comes out of Gattari and Deleuze philosophers and their book, A Thousand Plateaus, Milbon. So these are all, and then there's Indra's Net, which comes out of Hindu philosophy. The Wayan School of Mahayana Buddhism, which has this net of pearls that are insights, I think. I'm not able to sort of load more of what I remember about this, but there's a whole, I mean, like this vision goes way back into Hindu civilization and Buddhism. So all these things are kind of tied here, right? No, that's over my, I don't understand how it's in what way has it inspired the, yeah. Well, The Memex, for example, has inspired a bunch of projects called The Memex. So here's inspired by The Memex. Well, that I understand. That kind of makes sense to me. Cool. And Engelbart's thing, we're actually using right this minute. So that one's pretty clear too, right? Right, yeah, that's clear. It was the Buddhist one. So Indra's Net, and similar for the Glass Bead Game, which is Hermann Hess's, I think I've got it here, Glass Pearl and Spiel, the Glass Bead Game, which is a book by Hermann Hess where these people play a game about knowledge, about everything that's known. And I've not read the whole book, but here is somebody's post from a while ago comparing Indra's Net with the Glass Bead Game and others. And let me just go to this website and see who wrote this because I didn't put an author down here. And this message is gone. I think it was a message from a mailing list. Too bad it's gone. Copyarchive.org, let's see if the Wayback Machine can cough it up for us. Have you ever used the Wayback Machine? No, that looks very cool. Okay, so you just go to the Internet Archive, archive.org. In the middle of the screen is the Wayback Machine. You put in a URL that you know was a good URL way back when. And what it does is it coughs up this lovely screen that says, hey, I saved this thing 13 times between 2001 and 2004, and then it went away. So this website, whatever it is, went away at that point. So what I can do is I can say, show me from 2004, here's 2004, they crawled this website at 10.42.14 in the morning on March 1st. And then again, at four o'clock on April 11th, 2004, if I click on that snapshot, the archive will go back and find what it found. That is so cool. Is this not shocking and cool? That is wonderful. So what I can do is I can copy this link, actually, yeah, I'll just overwrite this link with it. So edit location, I'm just gonna paste in now the new archive link because this will last. This one's gonna be pretty durable. So I've just replaced the broken link with the archive link. And this was a message by Charles Cameron, or Hipbone at Earthlink. And I don't remember a Charles Cameron, but I'm gonna just copy this person's name and credit them in my brain. In fact, I have Charles Hipbone Cameron, who worked at Skoll. So here's Charles Cameron. How about that? He studied under Chung-Yam Rinpoche and Trevor Huddleston. He was at the Arlington Institute. He studied under Wallace Black Elk, et cetera, et cetera. And he wrote a piece comparing, he wrote just an email message that I saved back in the day and I saved it in 2004. So that's when I put this message in my brain. And I don't know that there's tremendous profundity here, but, and what I could also do, by the way, I could just copy this and I could paste it. So here's what I can do just to be a little safer is take the, oh, it's a long message is basically go all the way down, hit copy, come back over to my brain and paste it there. So now the full text of this email, I've just copied it into the notes field of my brain. No big deal. Does that make sense? Yeah, it does. I'm just looking, because I don't know that he's the one that did the comparison. I think he's talking, I couldn't read it quickly enough, but I think somebody else is maybe... So I think he's commenting on somebody else who wrote, so Ginny Henn wrote this here and then he's saying, hey, I'm struck by this particular phrase because it's almost identical to Herman Hess in his poem. So this is not the full conversation, I think. This is just one piece of the back and forth. And I don't know how much good comparison is in here, but it was good enough that I wanted to remember it. And we don't have time right now to go back into it, but this is kind of a tiny, tiny example of what we're talking about anyway, right? About being able to... Go ahead. I'm so sorry to do this to you. Oh, go ahead. The other tiny example is that Ginny's not mentioned. Charles gets his name on the brain, but Ginny doesn't. If I had quoted her original post, I probably would have put it on her. No, I know, I'm not. That's why I'm saying I hate to do this to you. But also, it's just a piece of cake to do this. I'm gonna add Ginny to the brain as well because he's quoting her and why not? I appreciate that. You're most welcome. It's really easy and it helps, so what the heck? Well, that was successful. If not a little bit down the rabbit hole, but I like that. Okay, so go ahead. No, I'm just reading. Okay, I thought you were gonna... I moved my lips to it. Yeah, exactly. I have an auctioneer's ears. Okay, so partly I'm looking for a narrative arc that would explain why this is important, what it might do for us. I mean, you know. Well, it could help in collaboration to not keep reinventing the wheel. Yeah, well, one of Ev's principle motivations for shared notes is so that we don't all have to keep reinventing the wheel. So, cool. And I'm just gonna put some bullets in the narrative arc just out of order, but we can make an order out of them. Because once there's the story that makes sense, I can record that, right? And what I'm looking for is what's a good story to the tell to make these points. I'm getting distracted because what I've been doing here a lot is I think a lot here, but I don't use the notes field very much. And the notes field is a lot like this obsidian document over here. So what if I use the brain? So for example, if I hit the little arrow thing over here, my notes field goes over to the right. I'm just gonna play with this for a sec, just for grins to show you what I mean. So if I copy this, then I come back to the brain and paste it, I get a very similar document, don't I? Except now it's in the brain. But I really don't like using the brain in this orientation. I've just grown completely accustomed to using it in horizontal orientation like this because I really like having the wide landscape of brain stuff that just makes me really happy and I have a lot of wide space up here. So that's kind of why I do that. And ironically, I have less wide space than I would in the other orientation because I'm always leaving a little bit of room over here for my browser because that's how I add links to my brain as I drag links out of the browser. I'm thinking though, if you had the notes, if you were working with somebody else, it might be helpful to them to have it the other way. Well, and then Jolt and other people would like to import my brain data into their tools and to other environments. And so let's pretend that there's some synchronization between my brain and this OG at this GitHub-based set of pages, then it gets really interesting because all of a sudden my editing here could replicate back here. Or let's say the brain made it possible to plug any document into this notes field so that what I'm editing right here would in fact be this GitHub page. I'd just be editing it from the brain. That'd be kind of cool. So I don't know, I'm wandering off into like the architecture of the shared memory thing, but that's what I'm trying to build while I'm building the Relate Wiki. I'm trying to make sure that these things are roughly parallel so that we can then play with the parallelisms and see where the power is and I can fold stuff in with other people. Okay, so one of the really important things in the narrative arc has to be collaboration. I mean, it's essential. And I have to illustrate the collaborations in some useful and fruitful way. I have to preserve personal references and points of view. I have to favor or encourage crystallization of points of view. By which that's kind of a word I've been using to say one future for this OGM Relate shared memory is that everybody, all seven billion people on earth create their own map of what they know and what they see. And then it's just chaos out there because then we have all these maps and nobody finds anybody else's and it's just a mess. So when I find Pete Kaminsky's view on Markdown and I really like it, I can say, oh, everything Pete just wrote applies for me. I'm just gonna refer to Pete's nice juicy piece that has loose boundaries around it, around this topic, around building a wiki on Markdown files, that what he's doing there works for me. And then if a whole bunch of other people agree with that, then we've crystallized and instead of each of us writing, well, and then you use Markdown and then we don't need to do that. We just point into each other's bodies where we like the other people's opinions or writing or perspective. So for me, the vision video has to include some example of that happening, right? Does that make sense? Oh yeah. Cool. And to me, that sounds really important because I'm not trying to say it's really easy to interpret some of this as being, well, everybody should just do more critical thinking and take notes in conversations. Why isn't everybody doing critical thinking? Why aren't we teaching our kids critical thinking? And that's kind of a force in the background, but I'm not trying to finger wag and say everybody should do critical thinking. I'm trying to say if a few of us were thinking together better, the rest of us could benefit, just like a few people being a manic obsessive about maintaining Wikipedia helps everybody else, right? Because a whole bunch of billions of people who don't do anything to maintain Wikipedia benefit from Wikipedia on the planet. And I think I can comfortably say billions. I'm relatively sure because half the planet is online, that's three billion, let's call it. Of those three billion, I'm willing to bet more than half have used Wikipedia in their language. Maybe I'm stretching it, but boy, I bet it's over a billion unique humans have actually touched Wikipedia, which is crazy. Will the vision help reach across disciplines? Hopefully, yes. I mean, so that's where the narrative are. Maybe is that something you want to include? Yes, yes. I usually give my statements in the form of a question. Interesting tactic. The jeopardy approach. Oh yeah, yeah. The answer is I'll take mosaics for 500, please. Cool. Another piece of this is governance. Another piece of this is, and I want to avoid turning this video into a business plan, but I want to mention how these things might happen. And Wikipedia, for example, lives off donations. And there's a whole bunch of people who donate money to keep Wikipedia going every year. Mozilla, the browser company, they struck a really juicy sweet deal early on, I think with Google, where Google sends them money every year for making Google the default search engine on Mozilla long ago. And Mozilla has lost almost all its market share. Chrome, ironically, Google's own browser is the monster in the browser business, but Mozilla has delicious funding because I think Google, and I should look into that, I should fact check it, but that's different. And then Craig's list, early on, Craig decided to make everything free except a few things. So real estate listings and job listings are paid by real estate companies and employers. And there's maybe one or two other categories. Everything else happens on Craigslist for free, which with no ads, with no cookies on your machine, with no invasion of privacy, nada, none of that. Craigslist is also very mean about screen scraping. So they don't want any third party sucking up all the Craigslist entries and reposting them somewhere else with ads or with whatever else. And then they've also not modernized. So it kind of curtailes a lot of stuff that could happen, but it's a really interesting financing model, which I love. And then you might have heard me tell the story about Brewster Kale, who invented Alexa internet, which he sold to AOL, no, sold to Amazon. And Alexa was a tool belt early in the day, in the early days of the internet, and the tool belt was a little browser attachment. And this little thing, this little belt you attached to your browser would tell you as you were visiting websites, it would say, this website has this much traffic every day or a month or a year, it looks secure, it's owned by these people, I don't know what else it did. It would tell you about whatever websites you were visiting. And in doing so, it was busy collecting data about visitors and collecting traffic information. So it was kind of useful data. He sells this thing to Amazon and as part of his deal, selling it to them, says, for some amount of time, you have to contribute the data to this new thing I'm starting called the Internet Archive, which is a completely brilliant, just an astonishing, brilliant act of Jiu Jitsu to basically bootstrap the internet archive. And the reason that Alexa, that the Alexa assistant at Amazon is called Alexa is because they bought his company called Alexa Internet. Yeah, yeah, there's a whole, and Brewster for me is- Interesting little tidbit. In 200 years from now, we're gonna look back and think of Brewster as this era's been Franklin. I am quite convinced, he's just a generous genius. See, that was a brain drop without the brain. I know, exactly. And I've got all those things in my brain, by the way. Of course. That's how I could have told that story while showing the brain box. Okay, we need more story, less analysis, and less facts. And I'm heading back into the dry stuff instead of the exciting stuff. And there's also a ton of other stuff I need to upgrade here on the website. I need to fix a whole bunch of other things and keep going. So here's the project page. I was doing something, did I do this? Yes, you might like this. So I've created a page called Relate Projects, clear enough, more than half of these I haven't even created the page for. So we were just on the Relate Vision video page. The other one, tiles you've seen. So this one you're familiar with, right? And then I added a tile this morning, this one, which I'm not done writing, but this is the one, two, four, all Zoom app. I guess I need to call it the Zoom app because I think Zaps, I think they're not saying Zaps. Yeah, that's the update. There we go. Have you heard me talk about one, two, four, all before? I did, and remember I said I prefer one, three, five, nine? Yes, exactly, exactly. Stand by that. Yeah, good. So I'm trying to describe this project here and this would actually be a tile, which means I need to rename this to tile dash one, two, four, all. And good. So what liberating structures is an actual project? Yes, liberating structures is a website that's done, which I think looks like this. And here's a book, The Surprising Power Liberating Structures, and they have a pattern language click on any liberating structure below. So here's the menu, here's one, two, four, all. Here's trends, shift and share, helping heuristics, design storyboards, generative relationships, critical uncertainties, integrated autonomy, heard, seen, respected. These are all patterns for collective thinking. And so if I go to one, two, four, all, it says this and it explains how to do this process. You know, what materials do you need? How does this all work? Why do you do it? Tips and traps, this is really great. There was a video apparently that's not visible right now, but this is all done. This is a very nice pattern language that was created by a bunch of people, some of whom are friends of mine. I think Nancy White you've seen, she's in this crowd. So I'm just picking this as one example for Grins, because it's really easy for me to illustrate, wouldn't it be cool if this was actually also some software? Got it. And I'm trying to use this as an example of what I think I'm calling instrumenting wisdom. If somebody comes up with a better phase, I would be thrilled. But what I mean is, there's a whole bunch of distilled wisdom out there, some of which, some of which, maybe it's only a little bit of which, but some of which would make good code and be more useful as good code. So why don't we do that? Why don't we turn it into good code that's openly available? So that's for me a tile. And I got a little distracted here because I was actually trying to head back to the projects. So turbocharging pattern languages is this, and I'm realizing right this minute, what I need to do is go to the tile. So there's a couple steps of what I'm thinking about here. And so I need to go back, see, and then I need to go to tile 124 all I'm starting to learn how to do this. So I make a double link. I don't want that page, but I want other pages named tile 124 all zoom app there. So now I've made a link between this page, which is generally about a larger project called turbocharging pattern languages, which points to a tile of the 124 all zoom app. And then the tile is just a one particular example of, hey, let's go do this everywhere all at once. So lather, rinse, repeat, something like that. Okay, so I got a little distracted from the vision video. But this is a piece of what sort of, I'm trying to articulate in the vision video. So here's the vision video again. And I'm happily getting more comfortable and obsidian. And I'm sure that shortly, Pete will try to convince me to shift to a different tool because that's how he rolls. It's like, Jerry, you should probably be using Adam instead. I'm like, wait a minute. Well, do you know what I found out today? No, what? You probably, I mean, you probably know of something called matrix, which is totally, I have no idea what that is. But what I did find out is that they have a bridge from discord to matter most. I was very excited about that. I think, but I think matrix is all about the bridges. I think matrix, for example, also lets you hook into mastodon and a couple of other things. So I've got it here under potential OGM architecture components, OGM neighbor communities, decentralized conversation stores, et cetera. And there's an article written for open source alternatives to Slack. Well, I just know from what I say and where I am that having that connector between discord and matter most, I think is gonna be really important to at least the OGM meta project type things. Yes, agreed. There is the thing called Riot, which I think is like discord, but I'm not sure. Let's see what Riot says to us. Oh man, I never wanna try another thing.  Security and independent communication connected via matrix. This is just personal enterprise collaboration, see? Vibrant communities, matrix services built on matrix. Governed by the matrix foundation, the matrix protocol. That was the name of the first company I worked for by the way. The matrix? Matrix, yeah, matrix instruments. Oh, cool, very cool, but I located where? Orangeburg, New York. Go Orangeburg. Okay, anything else we should think about on the vision video? Any other thoughts, ideas? Just the store, I, yeah. So kind of when I add a survey of other vision videos, I wanna say a little bit like, hey, historically, there've been a bunch of ways of illustrating project visions that are pretty fruitful. So let's do that for us. And also, let's do it in a way that uses our tools. So it's woven, linky, shared, whatever that means. So, and here I'm thinking about, I'm thinking a little bit about the stories I've told around the global financial crisis. Did I send you those? Did we talk about those? Nothing's coming to mind. All right, I'll give you a refresher. 2008 financial crisis. Foreclosures, effects, boom, boom, boom. Here's the GFC, the Global Financial Crisis of 2007, 2008.  Causes, effects, where is that? World collapse, the economic crisis. This is very strange. So it's called SNP. There we go, SNP, in finance playlist. My YouTube playlist, my braincasts. So this should be connected to causes of the global financial crisis. Now it will show up there, much better. I will send you this link, which is three videos. And just for a taste, but what I do in these videos is, so for example, here's the hub. Okay, so here's causes of the global financial crisis. So why was that not showing up where we just were? Because I wasn't looking for purple, that's why. Okay, I was looking for YouTube videos.  I'm like, hey, we snipped all these long-term relationships that used to hold things together in finance like George Bailey at, what was the name of the city? And it's a wonderful life. Bakers, Bakersville? Pottersville. It's a wonderful life, George Bailey. It's a wonderful life, Pottersville. Is that our town? I need to put this under fictitious, oh, I know what's it, fictitious cities, places. Fictional imaginary places. And Bedford Falls is what it actually is, right? And in the dystopian future, it becomes Pottersville because Potter owns everything. But really it's Bedford Falls and George Bailey lives in Bedford Falls. So I'll make that connection. Okay, how did I get so far, Field? Oh, I know. So what I was saying was, lenders used to know their clients personally and hold the loans to maturity. So that's my statement here. Totally non-controversial statement, right? Yeah, so I'm gonna call it yellow to make it stand out more. And then what we did was, we basically broke up the whole mortgage chain so that you have mortgage loan originators whose only job, we have realtors who just find you a place. We have loan originators who just make a loan and then sell it off immediately. And then even the loan holders, dice, slice and dice the loans and then we put little bits and pieces of them in these really complicated securities that were too complicated to understand. So I go through all of that in those videos, probably not as clearly as I just did. But what I'm trying to say is, given the limited resources I had in the brain, I'm trying to tell the story by clicking on the relevant thoughts in the brain as I go through each of the points I'm trying to make. And at each point, you can see evidence of what I mean. So this is directly under the definition for mortgage and the Wikipedia page for mortgages, it's under lending, but it's also under George Bailey and the movie It's a Wonderful Life, right? Because lots of people understand George Bailey was this wonderful banker who knew his clients and gave them some slack when they had trouble, et cetera, et cetera. So that's a known thing. So how do we tell the relate slash OGM vision video? How do we tell this story in a way that lets us make a bunch of stops in different places? There's probably a different, there's a slightly more disaggregated Trump field manual. I'm probably gonna have to do an update for this one. Here's a field manual for dealing with Donald Trump. This is a playlist. Let me give you this link in my brain so you can actually see how they're structured.  I did, I actually did six, I never finished all eight videos, I had seven and eight as titles but I never actually recorded those. And I would do, I think I'm overdue for finishing seven and eight maybe now as what the hell to do because he might still, you know, let me... So will Trump 2024 is a thought in my brain? Will Trump run in 2024? Right? That's a really important question in the world of US politics right now. But I made a bunch of videos that started with, he's smarter than we think he is. And then went to what are his strategies and what does he do? And then at each point, the points I make in the video I have here. So Trump made himself a character of the greedy billionaire stranger then Thurston Howell III and Gilligan's Island. And here's Thurston Howell III and here's Gilligan's Island. Right? Did you have the one where the man by the name of Trump comes into town? It was one of those all Western sitcoms, not sitcom. One of those Western series from like probably 1960. I don't know if it was Ponderosa, not Ponderosa. Watch a 1950s villain named Trump try to con people. Yes, this Wyoming town. Nope. I actually saw that. Yeah. In Florida, on free TV, they show all this old stuff which is awful. And that episode was actually on and I was just shocked. The 1950s TV series track down. Walter Trump who would build a wall. No, I don't remember a wall. That's not it? It was that one. This one. It's track down. Oh, that is it. Yeah, it seems the old show track down perfectly predicted a moment. So I don't think I have track down. Thank you. Oh, here we go. Look, look, I've heard this before. A 1950s show had a fear mongering con man named Trump who wanted to build a wall and I don't have this connected to Trump really much. I haven't connected to the shutdown. Wow. Thank you. So this is connected to Trump. Here are your two of the Trump administration. Trump's government shutdown. If wall not funded, blah, blah, blah. Build a big, beautiful wall. So and have Mexico pay for it. I have that, you know, Trump's platform. All of which is under backlash against multiculturalism. But thank you for that. Sure. Here's track down. Now what I'll do is I will add this article from Mashable to the same spot in my brain. Here we go. Marcus Gilmour. Oh, Robert Culp, I didn't realize he was in. Yeah, yeah. Amazing, though. You can't make this stuff up.  It's true. It's just shocking. All right. So I showed you all those things because I think I'd like to make the vision video. I'd like to deconstruct it into nuggets that play as a small sequence so that each nugget is short. The reason I did a bunch of short Trump videos is that one week before the election, I made a long Trump video. And it was pretty long. And I was like, you know what? People don't like watching long stuff. They like watching short stuff. And so after the election, I did a bunch of soul searching and thinking and I came up with those six videos which I then recorded separately. And it was really important to the structure of it that I was modularizing the ideas and that all fits my nuggets with narratives and points of view kind of thing, which is what's a nugget? How do we make narratives out of individual nuggets? How do we string them together to build a narrative? How do narratives stack up to build a point of view? Does that ring a bell? I'm thinking about something else because now something's making sense for me and I was having, it wasn't clicking in for me. I wasn't getting the relationship to the Trump videos and the narrative and the video you're trying to create. Yep, is it better now? Well, if this is, I don't know if it's better. I know what clicked in for me is, oh, this could be really great because you could take bits and pieces from other people's videos and put them together as your whole story. So if that's the goal, then yes, now it clicks in. Yep. Yes, exactly. So I'm making links here to the video series I've created that behave this way, the nuggets narratives with points of view thing. And that would be amazing to have a tool to do that. Like when we say like what would an average person want and I'm an average person, if I had something that I could go around and take two minutes from this thing and two minutes from that, that would be my dream. So there was a tool long ago. I think it was called crayon. It went away and I've never been able to find it again. It was a collaborative video editing website. And it was like, have you ever used video editing software on your desktop? Jerry, either you or I froze. Oh, I don't know who it was. I'm still seeing you. It's not different for me. Are you? No, I mean it's not, no, now I can hear you, but. Okay, so did you hear what I said? I heard the last part, which is did I ever use a video software video editing thing? Video editing. Just, I just saw you did the script.  Okay, good. So this thing, which I think was called crayon had a timeline, except you could then with other people put in suggestions for what to put where and then each person could create their version of the video you were making. Cause I could say, ooh, I really liked this one, but not this one. Show this one, but that one, blah, blah, blah, blah. It was very simple and made a lot of sense. And then it disappeared. I think it got, I think they got flooded by lawyers. What was the name of that tool? I thought it was called crayon. But I don't think I've got it properly here cause it's not this one. Composite web page services, internet presence, CEO Express. I don't think it was this. No, this is a subscribing to columnist crayon or maybe it was something with an M crayon initiative, recycling crayons. Nope, that's not it for sure. Anyway, I looked for it years ago after it had disappeared and I wasn't able to relocate it. That's a shame. And it's a shame to us right now. And at one point, the creator had written a note saying, I'm stopping this project because I don't have resources for it. If anybody wants the code, I'll release it into open source. And I remember reading that. And then next time I checked, all of it was gone. So, yeah, so anyway. All right, so this has been a really good kickstart. I'm thinking we stop the office hours call. I'll stop the share and stop. Oh, wait, we don't stop the recording yet. Okay, tell me more. If any of you viewers out there have some ideas that you want to add, please put your ideas in the MatterMos channel. Sounds great. Thank you. That's our csc.collectivesensecommons.com. Is that right? It's one of those. Yes, collectivesensecommons.org. How about that? Collectivesensecommons.org is where the channel exists. We can figure it out from there. Sweet, let me turn off the.


Hello. Yes. The colleagues, the demographic factors are changing very slow, therefore long-term and consistent strategic planning is evident in affected areas. People while planning their future family should be sure that the privileges offered for families will not change during the case. It is so important because young people are vulnerable because of their transitory life periods. They are going through their lack of professional experience. They're sometimes inadequate educational training. They're limited social protection coverage and triggered by predominantly by a lack of job opportunity, achieving better work-life balance for parents and equally distributed caring responsibilities, and to contribute an increase in women's employment and families economic stability is an important thing. Thank you for your attention.


Hey curlfriends! I'm Bianca Renee and you're watching Bianca Renee Today and today, I was kind of going for like a natural disaster chaos type of look. Okay no, not really. This is probably my day three or four hair but I actually took this out of a bun. So that's why all these straight pieces are here because it was slicked back into a bun yesterday but I like to consider myself like the refresh queen. I can take curls that have been through it and revive them into beautiful curls but in order to do that you need a really good styling product to revive them and today I'm going to be putting a new product to the test. So today's victim, I mean product of choice, is by Riso's Curls. As you may know, I have reviewed the other Riso's Curls products like her shampoo, her deep conditioner and her styling cream but this is the newest member to the family which is her refresh and detangle spray. So this spray is supposed to help revive your next day curls after you've already washed it on day two three four five whatever and it's also supposed to be a good detangler to detangle your hair after the shower. And since we're not rinsing this out, this almost can kind of double as a leave-in conditioner as well. I've heard that a lot of moms like to use it on their kids to detangle their hair out of the shower and it works great but I'll be putting it to the test today to see if we can revive even the worst of curls. So let's get started. Now since I am coming from a straight up bun we're gonna have to use a lot of water to get these pulled back straight pieces curly. So I'm gonna use some water and re-wet our hair. I don't want to make it completely soaked again because then we could have just gotten the shower but just wet enough to get that curl definition back. So let's rub this in. Now we got that curl back getting rid of any of those straight pieces that I made from making a bun and I'm just scrunching in the water. Now the hair you're looking at right now was washed about three days ago and I did use the Ritos Curls hydrating shampoo as well as the Ritos Curls deep conditioner. So now that my curls are nice and damp again I'm going to apply the new Ritos Curls refresh and detangle spray. So right on here it has this little on and off switch so you could turn the spray on or off. So let's turn on on and I'm just going to spray all on here. Now the interesting thing about this spray is that it's not very liquidy it's not like a normal watery spray. It kind of does remind me of the cream but in spray form. Let me spray some on my hands so I can show you guys.  So I'm going to smooth and scrunch. The great thing about this spray is that it has three key ingredients which is coconut oil, olive oil, and shea butter. So the coconut oil will help reduce frizz, prevent breakage, and split ends. The olive oil will help cleanse the scalp, smooth the hair, and improve elasticity. And the shea butter will help lock in moisture without leaving your hair too greasy or too heavy or weighed down. All right I think we are all refreshed. So here's how it looks right now. Well it's wet. Good curl definition. So now I'm going to come back in about an hour and show you how it looks when it's dry. All right and I'm back. My hair is completely dry now. So this is how my curls dried. Very nice, very soft, very defined. They look very moisturized. I think it has just the right amount of hold like on the top part. My inner curls are pretty soft, but this is like the perfect amount that I know you guys are going to like. Now at this point I want to get some more volume. So I'm going to diffuse and let's see how this goes. Oh this is looking so good. I need to get a haircut. My bangs are just getting too long. So ignore the bangs. But look at these curls. They look so defined and so shiny. I love the results.  So now that you see my beautiful curly results it is safe to say that the Riso's Curls Refresh and Detangle Spray is Bianca Renee approved. It worked amazing. It makes your hair very moisturized. Great definition. It's going to be a great detangler. It's going to be great for your kids.  The Refresh and Detangle Spray is 10 fluid ounces and it's available on Riso's Curls.com for $19.99.  Free. Riso's Curls is allowing me to do a giveaway so you can win the entire Riso's Curls collection.

You know, people always pity and feel bad for us amputees, but honestly, my heart goes out to two-leggers. End of long hike, your legs are tired. What are you going to do? Deal with it? I, on the other hand, can take my limbs off, have a nice rest, and I even have a built-in cup holder so my water bottle never has to get dirty. Enjoy the nice view. Have a sip of water. It's OK to admit you're jealous.
