Earlier today I covered information about things we have seen from the PAX event including what people thought was regia, new exotics and more. While I have more info today people, more exotics, more pics of regia and so forth. How's it going guys? My name's DpGene, I'd like to thank you for stopping by and checking out the video. If you do enjoy it, leaving a like really helps out and if you are new around here, make sure you subscribe. Okay so I speculated about this gear which you can see on screen now. This was taken from the PAX event and it was a part of the Black Garden gear tab. I speculated in my video earlier that this was regia. I was then bombarded within the comments section saying that info was false and that this gear has been confirmed to be vex offensive gear. So I changed the title and left an edit within the comments section. While people it turns out that I was in fact right the first time in thinking that this was regia. It is and this has been confirmed by Bungie via their post on Reddit that this was leaked on screen now. So this is in fact the new regia. The Divinity is a new red exotic and all those pretty cool looking weapons are red too. The armor although we know is reskinned, it does indeed look very cool and I can tell you this because I have a couple of images of said armor which you can see on screen now. We have both the titan, helmet and titan gauntlets. The actual image for the gauntlets ain't that clear but the helmet looks amazing. And these do indeed scream vex raid at you. The vex offensive gear by the way Luke Smith confirmed also is what we get from the battle pass. There might be more tied exclusively to the vex offensive activity but Luke Smith didn't mention that at all. And the battle pass gear which isn't this regia also isn't we reading this tab is what Luke Smith does indeed say we can get from the vex offensive seen on screen now. Also by the way Luke Smith states that the vex offensive activity has only 4 legendary weapons. Here we see 7 legendary weapons. The Divinity exotic trade rifle. I did see a post stating that these first drops from the vex offensive as a legendary and we continue on a quest to make it exotic. But the source was definitely questionable in my opinion and I believe it was deleted. And in fact we also see dmg state that this is regia in my opinion clears this up. But hey nothing certain at this point as we know things can change. But either way here is a better image of the Divinity and we also see it's other perk, penance. Targets under the effects of judgement long enough are struck with a burst of damage. Okay so we're going to move on to an exotic I pointed out a while back and that was because within this image we can see on screen now released by bungee we saw a hunter in that moon arm with that exotic helmet the assassin's cow. We also see the titan in that moon gear with the phoenix cradle exotic legs. And we see a warlock in a pretty unique looking chess piece but nothing was mentioned about this chess piece. Well within this video I can confirm Skies to be an exotic. Here it is and this is the only image we have at the moment so apologies about the crappy quality. It's called the storm dancer's brace and his intrinsic is as follows ascending amplitude each enemy you defeat with storm trance increases the damage you deal with storm trance. Now I ain't really a warlock kind of guy and in my opinion this don't make me want to use one more than what they already offer. This I don't see being anything great besides probably against low level ads and that's about it. To end the video guys we have images of three new seals coming with shadowkeep the garden of salvation the undying seal and the shadowkeep seal. Seeing with rewards too enlighten sounds absolutely epic and on that note we have come to the end of the video people if you enjoyed it leaving a like really does help out and if you are new around here make sure you subscribe for those daily destiny two videos I just wanted to make a video just basically bring you guys the latest information we have got out of packs as well as clearing up what many people thought wasn't ray gear and was with ex offensive gear or vice versa it is indeed ray gear as far as we know now but on that note we have come to the end I hope you enjoyed the video and hopefully I will see you on that next one


Hi, my name is Tracy Tecajome Spinoza and this is a video on the learning styles myth. It's meant to talk about neural myths as an opportunity for teachers' professional development. I'm a professor at the Harvard University Extension School. I teach a course called the Neural Science of Learning. It's an introduction to mind-brain health and education. And I am associate editor at the Nature Partner Journal of Science of Learning. And I've also taught all levels of education from preschool through university and also in adult education. And today I want to do two basic things. I want to really encourage you to think about a way of using neural myths as a form of professional development, how this really should be a part of all teachers' basic knowledge. Then I want to use the learning styles myth as an example and leave you with a big reflection. Learning styles is not the same as the theory of multiple intelligences and I just want to make that big distinction using the evidence. The learning styles myth is based on an idea that people are either visual learners, auditory learners or kinesthetic learners. This learning style related to your sensory perception that you prefer either visual, auditory or kinesthetic learning. Now this is not to say that you cannot develop a cognitive preference for one of these styles because if after all you know when you're in third grade and I tell you you're a visual learner, you do nothing more than look for visual cues around the world, and so you can become a more visual learner. You can favor that kind of sensory input but it doesn't mean that's what your brain would like.  But then they've lopped on here this idea of reading and writing. Not sure exactly where that came from. And other people have gone even further unfortunately to try to pretend like these things are associated with specific brain areas. I just want to say the things on the periphery here looking to include a lot more variety and novelty or have more active or physical activities in class or thinking very hard about how you create or design the learning environment. All of those things are terrific and I really hope they do happen. The main problem here is that they're pretending that all of this is underscored by research that says that learning styles is a real thing. And this becomes even more discouraging in education when we think about all the money that goes into promoting this idea of learning styles. And even surveys or tests that think that in 20 questions they can tell you what kind of a learner you are and based on that teacher should craft teaching interventions based on that particular auditory visual or kinesthetic preference. That's a little bit off. And the main problem with this it gets to the heart of all learning myths. All myths do harm. I think that we share the first rule with physicians that above and beyond anything we just do no harm. That means if the information does not have substantial evidence behind it we should not go in that direction. The worst thing is that this also takes away resources from funding things that we know are actually better interventions. And it also distracts from really learning how the brain actually does learn.  Aristotle knew this thousands of years ago. You perceive your world through all of your senses and basically your brain picks and chooses among the things that input that it receives and it tries to see if you have any kind of existing memory for the new sensory input or stimuli. And if you do you can connect on to that memory and you can reinforce that memory or you can actually invest energy and truly learn something new. This synaptic communication either because it's reinforced neural pathways or it's new neural pathways occurs between all the neurons in your brain and it's enhanced by familiarity, practice and repetition. And if there's enough repetition you can get a strengthening of the myelin sheath which speeds up the electrical and chemical signals in your brain so that you can actually retrieve information faster and be able to use it in new contexts. And so all this is just to say that your brain is constantly trying to make sense of its world using all of its senses. Not just one or another and not just favoring one or another. And so the main reason this is so sad is because all of these sensory inputs are indistinct neural pathways in the brain and basically by reinforcing multiple pathways you would give yourself the opportunity of being able to retrieve information in a greater variety of ways rather than just through a single sensory pathway. So again not only is this myth wrong but it is damaging because it keeps people from perhaps living up to their potential for learning by shutting down the other pathways in the brain for creating important memories for new concepts in learning.  How is this true? How could we ever get into believing that about kids? I mean, look at this little boy here. Getting hugged by his little sister. What kind of learning style do you think he has? Impossible to say, right? This guy is taken in the whole world through all of his senses and so we just want to remind teachers that your brain adapts to what it does most. And one of the saddest things about learning styles is that kids get locked into thinking that they are only meant to be able to learn through one of these sensory modalities and in doing that we deprive them of understanding their world in a greater variety of ways. So many of you might be saying, but I am a visual learner. I am an auditory learner. I am kinesthetic. It may very well be that you have become that because you've rehearsed that particular neural pathway more than others. But that's not really what your brain would like, right? And it's really clear that in early childhood education we're actually pretty good about calling attention to using all the senses. But thank goodness for people like Costa and Calak who remind us in things like Happen to Mind that part of understanding your world, part of being a critical thinker, part of learning to maximize your own potential as a learner is gathering information through all of your senses. And so we hope that you as teachers will begin to reject that myth. And if you don't believe me, let's look at the literature. Over the past dozen years there's been hundreds of articles that really refute the idea. Burr and Pasture spent a lot of time trying to determine what evidence is there for learning styles because it's so popular, right? Then we started getting more pushback. Just stop propagating this learning styles myth. There is no good scientific evidence behind it. Despite that though, it is thriving even in higher education where some freshmen are actually told that they should take this learning styles inventory before selecting their majors. That's really scary, right? What we really find out though is that a lot about learning styles has a lot to do with taking the little things that we do know about ourselves that we reflect on and sort of exploiting those to say that, okay, that categorizes you into a type of learner, which is really unfortunate because it really does limit you, right? Others aside from the original proponents of the idea began to try to test this theory and followed kids who had been blocked into being visual, kinesthetic, or auditory learners across learning trajectories to see exactly how they fared. And being categorized in that way did nothing to benefit their eventual learning outcomes. And the myth still persists even through the 2020s we still have people applying the learning styles myth despite the number of people that call for it to be tossed out and that money could be better used in other places. Perhaps one of the best summary articles comes from a passion learning colleagues that tried to summarize for the American science and public interest publication what evidence actually does exist for and against learning styles and what do we really know about this information? Bottom line is that they could not understand this huge contrast between the enormous popularity of this particular intervention and the lack of credible evidence which they found to be striking and very disturbing. And so on the whole of it, there's a lot of better ways to invest resources. And perhaps the first thing we have to do as teachers is appreciate the complexity of human variability. There's a lot of different kinds of kids in our classrooms and we have to embrace that. We have to embrace their differences and embrace the idea that they may be learning in very different ways. So I wanna thank you for listening and as a final reflection to sort of make this stick, think to yourself if there were three things we mentioned today that you didn't know before. And if there's two things that you really wanna continue researching you're curious about now and maybe one thing you'll do differently in your practice. Thanks for doing that and if you have any questions don't hesitate to get in contact. Take care.


Entropy, abbreviated with the letter S, is a fundamental physical quantity in thermodynamics. To understand entropy, we consider a closed system. A closed system is an isolated part of the universe that does not interact with its surroundings. Let us consider the following system, which consists of subsystem A and subsystem B in which four particles can reside. Another concept that is necessary for understanding entropy is the microstate of a system. A microstate of the system is characterized by how the four particles are distributed between the two subsystems. Let's take a small example. There are two particles in subsystem A. The other two particles are in subsystem B. This is one possible microstate of the system. Another possible microstate is when all particles are in subsystem A and none at all in subsystem B. A microstate is therefore a possible arrangement of the particles. Let us denote the number of possible microstates of a system by n. Now we can understand entropy. Entropy is a measure of the number of possible microstates. The more states the system can occupy, the higher its entropy. Let's construct a system in which no particles can be in subsystem B. All four particles must be in subsystem A. In order to be able to make a statement about the entropy of this system, we must consider the number of possible states. The system was constructed in such a way that all particles can only be in A. There is therefore only one microstate of the system, namely the state, all particles in A. Let's look at another system in which there is more than a single microstate. Let us now assume that there can be a maximum of two particles in subsystem B. The first possible microstate is where all particles are in subsystem A. The second allowed microstate is where a single particle is in subsystem B. And the last permitted microstate is where two particles are in subsystem B. Placing another particle in subsystem B is not allowed in this system. This system has a higher entropy than the previously considered system, where particles could only be in subsystem A. Let us now consider a third system. Let us assume for this system that there are no restrictions on how particles can be distributed in subsystems A and B. Let's go through all possible microstates of the system. In the first microstate, all particles are in subsystem A. The second allowed microstate is where a single particle is in subsystem B. The third permitted microstate is where two particles are in subsystem B. The next permitted microstate is where there are three particles in subsystem B. And the last allowed microstate is where all four particles are in subsystem B. This system has five possible microstates. With only four particles, a maximum of five microstates can be realized. Which of the three systems has the maximum and minimum entropy? The first system has a single microstate. This system has the lowest entropy, S1. The second system has three possible microstates and therefore has a higher entropy, S2. And the third system has five possible microstates. The third system has the highest entropy, S3.


Philippines is one of the fastest growing economies in the world. BC is the fastest growing economy in Canada, all kinds of opportunities to create jobs in Philippines and in BC by working together. This trade mission has been all about trying to find those opportunities and opening the first BC trade and investment office ever in the Philippines, which I think is going to mean we're able to make huge gains in growing the trade between our two countries, not just the trade, but the friendship and the human relationships.
