Hey guys welcome back to my channel. My name is Senali if you guys didn't already know me and today I'm going to be sharing some makeup tips for sorority recruitment. This video is actually in a whole series of hashtag how to sorority videos and if you guys didn't know I actually blogged my whole entire sorority recruitment last year when I was actually going throughout myself. So I made a whole playlist of all these videos just so you guys can binge watch them so I will leave the link to that playlist down below. I know a lot of people worry about their makeup during sorority recruitment mainly because of the heat. I went through recruitment in Orlando and it was so humid I curled my hair almost every day and then it would just like drop to like straight weird wavy waves and it was just not cute.  So I wrote down some tips that I came up with to share with you guys so let's get into it. This is going to be like really scattered I hope you guys don't mind but I just have my notes kind of scattered so yeah. Okay you guys do not have to purchase all these makeup products that I'm mentioning you can always find do some Pinterest or just get other products that are similar but I'm going to recommend some products and they might be a little pricier so if you're looking to get new makeup this is the perfect time to splurge on some really good products that you can use throughout college. My first one is to use setting spray. You don't have to use the Urban Decay one because that is a little pricier but there are drugstore ones. NYX has one and I recommend getting the matte one. Next I really recommend you guys trying out the Laura Mercier translucent powder.  If you feel it it's gonna feel like kind of like that silk powder type feeling it just like feels so smooth and like perfect and it gives you a flawless finish. I did hear that the RCM one was a really good dupe for it. I have not tried it out myself which I am planning on getting that one after this Laura Mercier powder runs out so for eyeshadow I really only recommend doing a really simple look not much dark colors just keep it like really simple matte and like maybe warm tones so I would just recommend maybe putting like a really light brown on the crease and then on the lid maybe putting like a beige or like even your skin color would look good or if you want to have a little bit of shimmer I would recommend putting gold shimmer. My next one goes along with that I would recommend not wearing silver eyeshadow. I feel like it doesn't look natural at all so like I said just wear like a beige or your skin tone so I know all of my makeup lovers out there will probably want to wear false lashes that week which obviously you can. Everything I say in this video is just recommendation so you know do what you want but I feel like false lashes are gonna be kind of uncomfortable because these are gonna be super long days. I'm talking about seven in the morning until maybe like five at night or seven at night. Some people even stay like till nine and like 12 on prep day so you do not want to be uncomfortable the whole day because that's not gonna be fun.  You might want to consider wearing waterproof mascara because first of all you're gonna be sweating so if like sweat rolls down your face and then just mascara comes with it I don't okay I don't know that could be dramatic but in the summer Orlando rains like almost every day so I did not want to like walk through the rain and like have my mascara dripping down my face walking into the next house so check the weather and if it is going to be raining or if it's very human outside. Next I kind of want to talk about eyebrows everyone has their awkward stages of eyebrows hopefully I'm past mine but sometimes I still have bad eyebrow days so first of all I recommend getting them done before recruitment. Sometimes I see eyebrows that are really boxy on the front a little trick is to make the ends darker and then just start doing light strokes in the front so it won't look boxy and it will look really natural. I actually started using dipbrow on the ends and brow was in the front and it really helps me achieve that perfect brow. If you guys want an updated brow routine let me know in the comments down below because it's kind of the same but I do want to share with you guys some new tricks that I learned. Next I would carry around like a refreshing face mist I use the Shiseido Quick Fix Mist. I really feel like I mentioned this product in like almost every one of my videos lately right before you go into a house you can just spray it on fan yourself down and your makeup is going to look so fresh and you will feel a lot better and not as sweaty. I know everyone wants to have their highlighter on fleek but I really recommend just staying all the way on the matte side I do not recommend any highlighter whatsoever because I feel like you guys are going to regret it once you have to walk to house to house to house and it's going to be so humid and hot so you're probably just going to sweat it all off anyway so it's always best to stay on the matte side. If you do want to do highlighter just don't put it on your nose because I feel like that looks the most oily and up here so just kind of like focus it right over here and that should satisfy your highlighter fix but if you can't hold off on it I would. This is kind of an obvious one but I would stick to a nude lip or a brownish lip just don't do like any like hot pinks or like reds. One time I wore a red lip to homecoming and I immediately regretted it the next day because I don't know it just like was too much sometimes less is more especially for big events like sorority recruitment so it's best to look as natural as possible. You might be looking for a new foundation because you just got that summer tan and want to match your face. I recommend looking for foundations that are first of all matte and second of all don't have SPF in them. That kind of sounds weird because obviously you're gonna be in the sun a little bit but I feel like SPF just makes it a little bit more oily. The last tip I have for you guys is to get a face moisturizer that is gel based. This will help with like the oiliness and just keep it all matte. So that's all the makeup tips I have for sorority recruitment. I hope you guys enjoyed this video and if you guys have any video requests then leave them down below especially for my how-to sorority series. I think I'm going to do two other videos but if there's any other like specific ones that you guys want to see then let me know. I will see you guys in my next video. Bye guys!


And thank you for joining us today. I've got someone I consider very special with me today here in Finland. And let me explain why I think Alex Bengash is so special. There's kind of like a waterfall in startups that, frankly, in my experience, most founders aren't that well aware of, which is, you know, as an entrepreneur, you raise money from venture capitalists. But where does the money come from? Where does the money that the venture capitalists invest in your company actually come from? Well, it comes from limited partners, the LPs, who invest in the funds that the venture capital general partners, such as myself, that we manage. And now in the land of the limited partners, the LPs, there are players like pension funds, like here in Finland, Ilmarinen and Ella would be examples. There's also foundations. There's endowments of large universities, like in the US, Yale, Stanford, Harvard. And then there's these things called funds of funds, which are actually funds that then invest into venture funds. And Alex has one of these. He manages a fund which then picks out the VCs, who he thinks are going to be the next winners who are able to pick out the best company. So there's this kind of chain going on. And now for most of these LPs, traditionally, the way it works is you invest into Sequoia, or you invest into Benchmark, the most famous brand name venture capital firms. And that's pretty much a guarantee of good results. But this has now completely changed over the last six, seven, eight years. New funds have emerged that have outperformed many of the traditional brand name venture capital firms. And in many of those new exceptionally well-performing venture capital funds, guess who is their anchor LP? It's this guy, Alex, who has a very contrarian strategy compared with many of the other LPs.  Not everybody agrees with him. He's a hated man. And also, he's a visionary. He's brilliant. He thinks like no one else in limited partner land does. And so that's the reason why I'm excited to have Alex here. And Alex, I wanted to start by asking you, can you tell us what are the dirty secrets of VC that you see as an LP that we don't normally talk about? Can you share us a little bit of the backstory of what's going on right now in venture capital? Thank you so much, Yuri. First of all, I just want to say I'm super excited to be here at Finland and super excited to be here in the land of Supercell and Yuri. And thank you for having me.  So I don't pander to VCs. OK, I always, always root for the entrepreneurs. The first biggest dirty secret of venture capital is that the value, the VCs don't add any value. Explain that one. Actually, most of the entrepreneurs succeed not because of their VCs. They succeed despite their VCs. So one of the most prominent venture funds, best performing funds, I was very lucky you alluded to it. I attribute all of it to luck. I love rooting for the underdogs. And I love it when the underdogs win. Well, VCs typically say that they help the entrepreneurs. They add all this value. So I want to tell you about, tell you this anecdote, which will kind of, so this is one of the best performing VCs, one of the top names, maybe top five. And so I was involved in that formation. I'm sitting down with their managing partner. And I'm saying, can please tell me, how will you help your entrepreneurs? And he looked at me in complete bewilderment. He said, Alex, we're never going to invest in a company that needs our help. So this is this misconception that the VCs add a lot of value. The second dirty secret is which most entrepreneurs know, or most entrepreneurs don't know, but which VCs know very well is VCs get paid by the amount of money that they manage, their assets under management. Correct, right. So because they raise larger and larger funds and they're incentive to do that, they then back companies that require more and more money. Now look at Bird, Open Door. And some of these will be great businesses. But increasingly today you are seeing prop tech businesses in grocery delivery, et cetera, raising billions of dollars. Why? Because VCs want to raise larger and larger funds and get paid on larger and funds. Contrast that. Now contrast that with Airbnb, one of the most valuable startups today that raised $635,000 in their seed round. Airbnb raised less than $5 million in their series A. And they didn't have to raise money after that. So that is the other dirty secret. And the last one, go ahead. So the valuations of companies, you're saying, are actually that VCs constantly complain about the valuations of companies, the deals going up and up and up. And you're saying that actually the VCs are at fault themselves. Oh, absolutely. VCs and even more than VCs, LPs, they're chasing returns all the time, all the time. Whenever they see returns, oh, now returns are in China. Now returns are, most of the times, sectors don't work. It's not just nice to be contrarian. It's profitable to be contrarian. You make asymmetric returns when you're right and alone. You make average returns when you're right and with a crowd. With everyone else, right. What's the third dirty secret? Well, the third dirty secret is that entrepreneurs create all the value. But actually, the VCs have a portfolio. LPs have a portfolio. And entrepreneurs do not have a portfolio. Entrepreneurs take all the risk. Well, we VCs don't like to see our entrepreneurs working on two different companies at the same time. We want them to focus, right? That is true. But one of the tectonic shifts that has happened, Yuri, and you are a great entrepreneur, right? You started Jaikoo, you're an inspiration to me. And so one of the things that we've seen is folks like yourself, Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk, Max Leftchain, they always have a portfolio. Why? Today, an entrepreneur can have a portfolio because the cost of starting companies has gone down. So you've got to explain that one. So you're seeing entrepreneurs, you're saying the best entrepreneurs right now are working on multiple companies at the same time. Multiple products. So they can now do, just like you do multivariate testing on features, well, as the cost of features has gone down, so has the cost of building product. So you can build product, test it, and then scale those products, which get a product market fit. And guess who is best prepared to do that? Entrepreneurs over VCs. VCs have a half-life. They're relevant, and then all of a sudden, they get irrelevant. Their sector goes out of favor. Their knowledge goes out of thing. Their network gets stale. But if you're an entrepreneur constantly building stuff, take Amazon, for instance. Amazon is not just irrelevant. It is the most relevant company. It is the biggest retail company and the biggest company in AI. Why? Because they're constantly building product. And so that is one of the tectonic changes that we are now focusing on. And in our LP land, we're now, just like in retail, you're going direct to consumer. We're going direct to entrepreneur. So you're skipping the fund managers and going directly to invest in the entrepreneurs? So we're not disrupting. It actually helps the fund managers because the fund managers are getting fat and happy, and they're happy to invest after us. So we as LPs can go to the entrepreneurs. They can build companies, and the VCs can invest in their series Bs and Ds. So everybody's happy. So what is what you're talking about here is what, in the valley, has become known as this venture studio model. Exactly. Where one entrepreneur, typically a famous entrepreneur, let's say, Max Levchin, you've got several in your portfolio. In fact, you've got one such entrepreneur here and at Slush with you, Peter Pham, who founded Science, which is a venture studio in Los Angeles. So is this one of the contrarian bets that you're making right now is investing into these kinds of serial entrepreneurs who are no longer just serially building companies, one after the other, but actually building multiple companies in parallel at the same time? Exactly, Yuri. Interesting. So we now have a program. So just like YC has a program, we have a program now for entrepreneurs that can get direct access to sovereign wealth funds, endowments, foundations, pension plans, insurance companies, and they can build an infrastructure. And why is this good? Because for the first time ever, an entrepreneur doesn't have to take any dilution at the top level and they can build compounding advantages. Interesting. And we've seen this. We've seen this.  You've seen this in Hollywood. There is a Disney film with film studios and music studios, and now it's coming to venture studios. So this is one way in which early stage investing, this is really you're talking about. These venture studios, they typically start the companies from scratch, right? Exactly. Early stage is changing, where it used to be that you'd go to a general partner at a fund who then invested in seed deals, but now you're investing into one entrepreneur who's kind of like a super entrepreneur who can then start multiple companies and you get a piece of each one of the companies that they start. Exactly. And depending on the optics, so some VCs will say, well, it is super unfair to the entrepreneurs who come and do it. Actually, it's not. They get to work with everybody. Everybody aspires to work with a Yuri Engstrom, with an Elon Musk, with a Jack Abraham, with a Mike Jones. So they can work with an amazing entrepreneur, and it's a way of getting quality co-founders. So it just depends on your optic. Well, OK. So Venture Studios is one new model that you see emerging. And now the thing that you're well known for, Alex, is spotting these trends before the other LPs. And you anchored these funds no one had heard of before, Founders Fund, or Chris Saca with Lower Case Capital. These are phenomenally successful funds that came out of nowhere and surprised everyone. What else is happening besides Venture Studios that you're seeing as a new trend that you're investing in right now on the market? Thank you, Yuri. And I just want to be very, very careful. So I just got lucky. So Venture and technology is a very, very humbling business. So if you take yourself too seriously, what we're doing is we're running experiments. So just like Amazon runs experiment, the thing to remember is that some of these small experiments may have asymmetric returns. So Venture is power law distributed and even on the fund side. So we hope, again, that some of these experiments would lead to exponential returns. So a couple of other things. One thing, one trend, which we're fairly deep on right now, is funds that have network effects. So YC, Entrepreneur first here in Europe, they are prime examples of firms that don't have just a brand effect. So a benchmark, a Sequoia baseline has great brand effect. They have their brand. Whereas these firms now have network effects. I'll just give you an example. I spoke with an entrepreneur who had raised their money from one of the best VC funds on the planet, top three VC funds. And so I saw him raise the seed round. And then he said, Alex, he's building one of these challenger banks, but in the business side. And he said, Alex, I think I'm going to go to YC. And I said, why would you like to go to? You've already raised the seed round from one of the best investors on the planet. I was like, that's the easiest place where I'm going to get up my first 100 customers. So these network effects are now so powerful, just like Amazon has network effects and Google has and Facebook has. So he's basically going through. He's willing to take the dilution 7% in the case of Y Combinator, YC, because he knows that Y Combinator now has over 200 companies that they've funded. 2,000. OK, over 2,000 now. Well, that's right, actually. Sorry. Gosh. And these companies, he can access through Y Combinator's platform and recruit us his first customers. The other startups are his first customers. And that's worth the dilution for just going into YC for that. Exactly. So here's this thing. So there's a lot of talk about these great big funds like Sequoia and SoftBank, raising these very large late stage funds. And I think that there's been a lot of attention in the media on these larger and larger deals that are happening late stage. But in the meanwhile, when I look at what you're doing, it seems like what you're doing is you're actually, it used to be that you had the earliest stage of investing was the seed stage. It's when a company went to raise their first round of capital before series A. But in fact, what you're doing with a firm like Entrepreneur First, is there, it was like you had the seed, and then there were firms that did pre-seed. But now you're talking about actually pre-company, because the way an entrepreneur first works is that they recruit potential founders who haven't even decided on what company they're going to build. So is this one of your bets is actually going, even earlier, to pre-company investing? I'll tell you, I'll tell you something. So those of you who are students of venture capital will know that venture capital is cyclical. There are good times and bad times. But it's always a great time to be an entrepreneur. During good times, you can raise capital. During bad times, you have a plethora of awesome talent. Yes, that is our strategy.  Because of the valuations being so rich? Because of the valuations, because of the amount of capital that's there, which goes back to our first point. Why are VCs raising more and more money? Why are they focusing on models that are capital intensive? They're also capital efficient models. Those capital efficient models are being set to the wayside. So you see the opportunity in venture studios on the one hand, these platforms with network effects, such as Entrepreneur First and Y Combinator, that are really funding individuals. They're not even funding companies initially. They're just funding somebody to join a program like EF and figure out what company they're going to come up with during their period inside of that program. One of the reasons why we're so excited and Alice Bentic is here, those of you who listened to her from EF. So EF in this case is not only disrupting venture capital, it's also disrupting education. So so many, Peter Thiel amongst many others, so many people have said how ill-prepared are people coming from our education system for the needs of innovation? So that is, you know, that's kind of a blue dimension. And there's this notion that it used to be that we thought that the world was market limited, right? And now there's this concept that the world is actually founder limited. Exactly. That's a great point, you know? I think what we're seeing, what we're seeing again and again is these ideas that nobody, they say Airbnb was the worst idea that ever worked, you know? And so with platforms like EF and YC and others, you can test out those markets that others won't touch. And then lastly, there is this idea of these funds that are actually using machine learning, these API-based funds. Is that an area that you're playing in as well? So I think you've probably seen, you've probably seen a lot of firms now focusing on machine learning using scraping Twitter and getting data from public sources as well as filings and stuff. We think that most of that is, most of those efforts will not lead to something we have found instead that the best signal will actually come from APIs. So as all of you entrepreneurs know, when you build your company, you're building it on a tech stack. You're using Google Maps, you're using Stripe, you're using Segment, GitHub. And we are now partnering. That's again, if you have an API-based company, you should come talk to us. We are now partnering with these API companies to help them enhance their ecosystem and to get the earliest market signals. And if you talk of value, those API-based companies that also have a data co-op, that also have a marketplace, they can actually materially impact the fortunes of a startup. They can help that startup accelerate. And you've seen big ecosystems develop, like those around Shopify, Stripe, exactly. So huge ecosystems. And then that case gets us back to machine learning, right? That's where you get these APIs are the delivery mechanism for the training data. It's a small startup will not have the training data. That training data is then embedded with the voice, the first API-based fund that we're doing is actually a voice, a machine voice company, natural language processing company. Exciting. All right, well, there you go. Some new trends and some dirty secrets. Come talk to us later if you're interested in continuing the conversation. We thank you and thank you, Alex. Thank you, Yuri. This has been so amazing. And I'd like to give a shout out to the Slush team and Yuri for inviting me here. It's been an amazing, amazing experience. I hope to be back. I hope you're investing some Finnish firms. Awesome. Thanks.


Welcome back to approach the pulmonary embolus. This is part 3. In this section, we'll discuss how to put this together to make the diagnosis. We start off by deciding the patient's risk. They can be very low risk, low risk, or high risk. Depending on what risk category the patient is in, we will use different tests to rule in or rule out a PE. In the very low risk patient, we will use a rule known as the PERC rule. In the patient with low risk, we will use the D-dimer test. And in the high risk patient, we rely on imaging. We'll discuss this in detail. First, the very low risk patient. Very low risk patient are the kind of patient that after you examine them, you're really not concerned about PE. Once you see a patient like this, you're going to apply this rule called the PERC rule. If the patient is PERC rule negative, the patient does not need further work out for a PE. The PERC rule is developed by Dr. Jeff Klein and has 8 criteria. The PERC rule only applies if the patient meets none of the criteria. They include age, tachycardia, hypoxia at any point, prior DVT or PE, recent trauma or surgery, hemoctasis, exogenous estrogen use, and clinical signs suggesting of a DVT. If the patient has none of these criteria, and your clinical suspicion is that the patient has a low probability of having PE, then you can stop your PE work up at this point. And therefore, just to reiterate, very low risk patient and if they're PERC negative, they may only need a chest x-ray, ECG and basic blood work. Often no D-dimer is done. Now that we know what to do with the very low risk patient, let's turn our attention to low risk and high risk patients. Once we divide the patient into low risk or high risk categories, we can decide to use the D-dimer to rule out PE in patients who are low risk. A negative D-dimer will rule out PE in patients who have low risk. The question is therefore, who are our low risk patients? We use different scoring system to decide whether the patient is low or high risk based on their clinical presentation. There are two main scoring systems, the well score and the Geneva score. We will discuss the well score here. The well score is a series of questions that we score about the patient's clinical presentations. They include the following. Clinical signs and symptoms compatible with the DVT, which give the patient three points. Tachycardia, which give the patient 1.5 points. Immobilization, more than three days or surgery in the past month, which give the patient 1.5 points. Previous, venous herbal embolism, 1.5. Hemoptysis and malignancy that's active also give the patient 1 point each. Then we tally up the score. There are different ways to interpret the score and here is one of them. In a patient with 4 or less than 4 in the total score, the patient is deemed low risk for a PE. If they have more than 4 on the well score, they are deemed high risk. If the patient is low risk, we discussed before we can use the D-dimer to help us. If the patient is low risk by the well score and their D-dimer is negative, our worker for the PE stops here. If the patient is low risk but their D-dimer is positive, they need to go on for further confirmatory imaging. If the patient's score is more than 4, then he or she is deemed high risk for PE. High risk patients cannot be ruled out with a negative D-dimer. We need to go further into diagnostic imaging. The imaging choice we talked about before includes a VQ scan and a CT chest. A CT scan has very high sensitivity to rule out PE. However, this test is also not perfect. In patients with extremely high risk of PE and if the CT scan is inadequate, sometimes we also add endopler ultrasound to see if there are any signs of DVT. This is fortunately a rather uncommon scenario and it's best to discuss this with your staff. Just to recap, the algorithm for diagnosing PE can be presented as follow. The patient who is very low risk and is perk negative does not need further testing. Besides basic blood work, chest x-ray and ECG. Then we use a clinical decision scoring system, either Wells or Geneva score, to split the patient into either low or high risk. In the low risk patient, a D-dimer should be drawn. If it is negative, a workup stops here. We're also mentioned here the very low risk patient who is not perk negative. They usually get lumped in with a low risk group by the Wells criteria. For the patients who are low risk and if their D-dimer is positive, we'll go on to do imaging. In the high risk patient, we do not use a D-dimer to reassure us. We often go straight to imaging. We'll talk a little bit about treatment. The treatment of the patient with the PE starts with ABC. We want to ensure that their airway is patented, their ventilation and oxygenation is adequate, and want to make sure they're not hypotensive. We use IV fluids and vasopressors if needed. In a patient with a massive PE causing cardiovascular compromise, we will consider giving thrombolytics. In those who are hemodynamically stable, we will give them anticoagulants. They can include heparin, low molecular weight heparin, and then bridging into warfarin or any other oral anticoagulants. In summary, we discuss the diagnostic approach to PE. PE sometimes is very tricky to diagnose. As patients often can have atypical symptoms and presentations, we need to maintain a low index of suspicion. We hope you find this useful. Thank you for watching.


Unmanned aircraft systems, UAS, have become increasingly popular in recent years due to their ability to provide long-duration flights, improved safety, repeatable missions, and lower operating costs than traditional manned aircraft. However, these benefits are contingent upon several factors, including the type of aircraft used, sensor types, mission objectives, and existing regulations governing UAS operations. These regulations can be prohibitive for scientific users who may find it difficult to access or operate UAS platforms. This paper provides an overview of various UAS platforms and sensor capabilities, as well as a discussion of the current state of regulation with the goal of providing insight into the potential of UAS for scientific applications. This article was authored by Adam C. Watts, Everday Hinckley, and Vincent G. Ambrosia.


Proudly we hail. From New York City where the American stage begins, here is another program with a cast of outstanding players. Public service time has been made available by this station for your Army and your Air Force to bring you this story as proudly we hail our women in service. Our story is entitled A Ring of Stars. This is the story of a woman who saw the beginning of our nation and dreamed of what it might become. The story is a legend. Some say it never happened, and maybe it never did. But it could have happened, and the legend has taken such a firm route in the cradle of our country that the woman of the legend will always live in our minds and hearts. This is the story of the woman she was and of what might have happened to Betsy Ross. Our first act curtain will rise in just a moment, but first... A word to the young women of America. Have you heard about the excellent opportunities for advancement in the expanding Women's Army Corps? Enterprising young women who can qualify are urged to enlist now. You know every day more young women are finding out the full details about job openings in the Women's Army Corps. So why not visit your nearest United States Army and United States Air Force recruiting station? Have a talk with the recruiting sergeant. He'll be glad to give you all the information. Volunteer for the WAC today. And now your Army and your Air Force present the proudly we hail production A Ring of Stars. I saw a ring in the sky. A shining white ring like the circle of eternity. Shining with a purity of love and honor. All around it were flames of red and blue. And I did not know what this great ring was. But as I looked, it became larger and I thought it must encircle the whole world. It was a shining circle like a ring of stars. And it looked as if it would remain unbroken forever. I was a part of that shining circle unwillingly as a Quaker and a pacifist. But like all who lived in the 13 colonies in 1776 I was caught up in the circle and forced to reflect its glory. My name is Abel James of James and Drinker Shippers, Philadelphia. But this is not my story. It's the story of my little niece Betsy, my favorite she was. As I knew her and the world knew her. Before our country and our flank were born. You know her as Betsy Ross. She was born Betsy Griscum to my sister Rebecca and her husband Samuel at their Quaker home in Philadelphia in 1752. I was often away from home, sometimes with my ships. Sometimes traveling to Virginia and the Carolinas to buy tobacco for the old world. So that I could bring in carcass of tea and sugar, spices, silks and woolens to the new. But between trips I was a frequent visitor to my sister's home. One Saturday in April 1762 I came up the stone walk of my sister's house.  You know this game from your own childhood as dropped the handkerchief. They run around the circle now away from each other until they meet again. And little Johnny bows to Betsy. Now he's it, it must tap somebody else. Just now my dear child, my ship is just landed.  Yes, Uncle. Oh, they'll be so glad to see you. We just finished spring cleaning. The house will welcome you too. Rebecca. Welcome home, Abel. Hello, Samuel. You look well, friend. Yes, he does. A successful trip, I hope. Yes, indeed. I sold my cargo and brought back many fine materials. Soaks, rockades and woolen. Oh, did you bring any quiet grays that would be for the lady in the friend society? Oh, yes, of course, especially for you, Rebecca. Excuse us, Uncle Abel. Sally Drinker and the others are waiting for us to finish the game. Yes, of course, my dears. Go ahead. Come, Rachel. Let's show our gifts to Sally. And Abel, I'll make some tea for us. You come into the back garden and see how Samuel's flowers are growing. Thank you, Rebecca. Tea will be fine. Oh, you're always so thoughtful, Abel. No wonder the children love you. Don't be long, my dear. Come into the garden, Abel. We'll have a pipe while we wait for Rebecca. Hello, Samuel. Oh, you must have many stories to tell of your voyage, huh? Every night for the past six months, Betsy has said the prayer for those at sea for you. There's the child. You know, Samuel, not just because she's my sister's child, but Betsy's going to grow up to be your wonderful woman. You mark my words. That was one of many such family reunions during the time young Betsy Ross was growing up. Each time I came home and saw her again, she was a little gayer and a little prettier. Her sparkling blue eyes seemed even brighter because of her sober, quaker dress. And little Rachel was a pretty child too, but she was content to stay in the background and share the general admiration for Betsy rather than be hit my head herself. Ten years had passed since I brought her the blue silk, and Betsy was now a young lady. She had finished school and being a fine seamstress, she had taken work at friend William's upholstery shop, for young John Ross was an apprentice. Then, on one of my returns, I noticed a shadow in Betsy's eyes, and I knew that something was wrong. Welcome home, Uncle Abel. Mother and Rachel are at the market, and father's gone to a meeting at Carpenter's Hall. Well, it's good to see you, Betsy. How are you, my child? It's good to see you too, Uncle. Come into the garden. Very well.  Is something troubling you? Well, to tell the truth, I've never been so happy and yet I'm greatly troubled. Then it must be love that's troubling you. Uncle, how did you know? I make no claims to wisdom, Betsy, no yet to magic arts of fortune-telling, but when a young lady tells me she's happy, which I can see in her blue eyes, and at the same time greatly troubled, which I can also see, I do not have to look for more signs to know that she is in love. But why does love trouble you, my dear? Young Claypool loves you devotedly and always has. But I don't love him. If I did, there would be no trouble. He's of the society of friends. Who then? Not John Ross? Yes, Uncle. What can I do? It's not enough that he's a church member instead of a friend, but to be the son of the Episcopal minister. Are you sure you love him, child? Sometimes the first bloom of love is a false one that dies with early frost. No, Uncle, I am quite sure. What am I to do? We'll distress Mother and Father sorely if I'm wedded outside the society. You know what the book of discipline says. Yes. Mixing in marriage with those not of our profession is an unequal yoking which brings ill consequence to the parties. It is a hard say. Yes, Uncle, but I know John. He's a good man. There's no better Christian than his father, in spite of his being the rector of Christ's church. Take the word of a lonely old man, child. Follow your heart. Your parents will be hurt, it's true, but sometimes pain brings understanding. Then who knows, perhaps there'll be better friends themselves if they're forced to accept a love that goes outside the profession.  I believe that you can understand so well. Mother and Father must understand, too, in time. I'll speak to them tonight. Yes, you my child. And may all go well with you and John. And eventually Betsy became her bright self again. But still she had to go through tears and shadows. Her parents were grieved and Betsy, loving them, grieved, too. She knew that the elder would be obliged to expel her from the society and that this would hurt them most of all. But she was wise enough to know that once the step was made and once she was John's wife, things would not seem so dark to them. So she and John made their plans with my blessing.  But later I thanked God that I had. Finally, all was ready. John had saved enough money to buy his own house and shop on Arch Street and he and Betsy eloped to New Jersey to be married. I saw them off that day in 1772 when they boarded the horse ferry to Gloucester.   Thank you, sir. Won't you reconsider and come with us? Oh, yes, uncle, please do. No, no, Betsy, I must go and see your mother.  That's true, Betsy. We must make it as easy for your mother as we can. Oh, you've been so kind to us, sir. We'll never forget your help. I don't suppose my sister will either. But it's Betsy's own life and I feel very confident she's doing the right thing. Oh, just one question, John. Yes? How about your marriage bond? It's very dear in New Jersey, isn't it? It's 500 pounds sterling. I've saved most of it and William Hugg, who'll attend us, is lending us the rest. Thank you for asking, uncle. We'll be all right. I'm sure you will, with God's help. Take care of it, John. Goodbye. Oh, give me a kiss, dear uncle. Next year, dear. We'll be home tonight and see you often. Yes, sir. Goodbye, sir. Goodbye. I stood there as the boat pulled away from the shore, praying for their happiness, which I believed was in God's hands. And I have never seen a young couple anywhere who looked more as if they belonged together and always would. Looking at that happy boy and girl, I never dreamed how short their happiness would be. You are listening to the proudly-we-hail production A Ring of Stars. We'll return in just a moment for the second act. Here's a word to the young women high school graduates of 52. Love and loyalty to one's country have never been the exclusive attributes of men. Women, too, have shown evidence of their devotion and courage. Now, more than ever before, the United States Army and the United States Air Force need young women. Go to your nearest United States Army and United States Air Force recruiting station. Have a talk with a recruiting sergeant. Find out how you can best serve your country and yourself. Volunteer for service in the WAC, Women's Army Corps, or WAF, Women in the Air Force, today. You are listening to Proudly We Hail. Now, we present the second act of A Ring of Stars. And so Betsy Griscum became Betsy Ross. She and John went to live in his house in a pulse ring shop on Arch Street, and it looked for some time as if, after all, they would have a long and happy married life together. But there were rumblings in the colonies, and the rumblings were growing louder. The stamp-back had been followed by the Townsend Act, which brought the rumblings to my very door. One morning in 1773, as I walked to my warehouse, I found my partner, Henry Drinker, standing at the door, in front of a gathering crowd. Well, good morning, Will. Sam, how are you? None of you speaks? Henry, what's the matter? Take a look at this poster, Abel. The firm of James and Drinker is asked not to accept the shipment of tea due to dark in the harbor this day from the East India Company. As long as the Townsend Tax obtains, any imports of tea will be looked upon as an act against the free British people of these colonies. Signed the Tarn Feathering Committee. Well, Henry, I thought this was coming. You think we'd better do. You'd better send it back. No tea-drinking and free fence tax abounds! Gentlemen, gentlemen, this may cause violence. We are friends, men of peace. Are you friends of the colonies or friends of power? Just a minute, just a minute, friends. Henry and I want to do the right thing, but we have to talk this over. And while you're talking, the ship is docking in the harbor. But this may ruin us. If you take the ship that you will be ruined, nobody will buy from you again. Abel, perhaps we'd better send it back. Shapes are going back from New York every day, the committee says. The shippers there know what side they're on. In Charleston, they've taken all the tea and locked it up in a vault. I think you're right, Henry. We'll go to the dock and tell the captain this will be a voyage he'll never forget. I have a feeling we will never forget it either. The war was still far off, but the revolution had begun. And we were still divided, Tory and Wick, Quaker and Violent Radical. But the day would come when the tea-cattles would boil over and make patriots of it all. On Christmas Day, 1773, we were gathered at Betsy's home for a family dinner. Samuel, Rebecca and Rachel, Betsy, John and I. And on that day of joy and peace, we were all happy because the family was reunited. But the news was far from peaceful. Abel, what do you think of the news? From what the Committee of Correspondence says, your ships aren't the only ones returning to England with their full load of tea. Yes, if the tax isn't lifted, it's likely that we'll all forget the taste of tea entirely. I've almost forgotten it already. But here, a glass of port for Christmas time. Your health, gentlemen. Your health. Well, come in, Mr. Dinker. Won't you join us in a glass of port? Henry, what brings you out on Christmas Day? Samuel, Abel, I have news from the Committee of Correspondence. I thought you ought to hear it. I can see on your face that it's no light matter. Sam Adams has had a party in Boston Harbor. The band of men disguised as Indians, he raided the East India ships. He burst open 343 chests of tea and threw them in the water. The water? The Sons of Liberty will lead us to violence yet. Do you not think they're right, sir? Not to say they're wrong. But I wonder where it will all end. The end was nowhere in sight. The long struggle was just beginning. But things happened first after Sam Adams' tea party. Have you heard, General Washington, about the attacks on Lexington and Concord? Yes. It looks as if the lines are fully drawn. We cannot draw back from standing for our rights now. No matter what the outcome. The Congress in Philadelphia assembled has proclaimed the organization of the American Continental Army. The Congress has appointed as Commander General... John Ross was one of the first volunteers. As a militiaman, he was assigned the task of guarding the stores of guns and ammunition brought in by James and Drinker and other shippers from the West Indies for the cause of liberty. One cold day in January 1776, I was worried about some supplies that had just come in and I walked down from my warehouse to the wharf. I got there just in time, or rather, just too late. Oh! The mission has exploded! He's wounded. Get help here. Yes. We'll have to take him home. Here, will. Sam, guard in his place. Sam, help me carry him. He's in our beds, he was hurt. You must get him into the house. Come on, Sam. I'm all right, Betsy. I'm all right. One was not all right. He died within the hour. Betsy mourned him with her whole heart. She lived alone in the little house that she and John had shared for four short, turbulent years, and she continued to take work for the sewing in a post-ring shop. For Betsy's fame as a fine seamstress had sped throughout the colony and her naturally bright spirit sustained her in spite of the lonely hours. Though she was no longer a member of the friend society, she had never stopped being a true Quaker. For she said one day to me, My spirit shall be devoted to God and to my country. And whenever the spirit moves me, I'll sing and shout for liberty. And finally in June 1776, the day came for which Betsy Ross was born and for which she will long be remembered. Yes, gentlemen. Oh, Uncle Abel, how are you? Betsy, my dear, this is General Washington. I'm honored, sir. Won't you come in? Thank you, Mistress Ross. Won't you sit down? What can I do for you? Thank you, Betsy. The general hasn't much time, so we'll get right down to business. As Mr. James has said that you can help me, Mistress Betsy. Yes, General. I'll be happy if I can. In what way, sir, can I be of help? The army has no flag, Mistress Betsy. We need a banner, a symbol which will lead us on to victory. No flag? Well, I thought I had seen many flags among the troops. That's true, Betsy, too many. But we have no one flag to represent all 13 colonies. The closest thing we have to a unifying symbol is the Union Jack with 13 stripes. And I feel we must not adopt the flag of the British King when we are fighting for independence from the crop. Of course, I hadn't thought of that. I have a design here, Mistress Betsy. A ring of 13 stars on a blue field with 13 stripes, red and white, alternating. Do you think you could make us a flag on this design? Why, yes, General. I think I could. You hesitate. Not because of difficulty, I think. No. I was thinking, General, do you not think the flag would stand out more clearly if the stripes at top and bottom were red instead of white? Why, yes, yes, of course that's so.  Indeed I did. I didn't know myself what a good choice I'd made. But you were still hesitating, Mistress Betsy. If you have another suggestion, let us hear it. I know you didn't ask me to redesign it for you, General, but do the stars have to have six points? I think they'd be much prettier with five. They would be prettier. I thought of that. But I thought it'd be very difficult to cut them out with five points preserving the symmetry required. Oh, no, General, let me show you. See, I'll fold this piece of paper with one snip of the scissors, you see? A perfect star. Bless me, yes. Go ahead, by all means, and make the stars with five points. You look quite happy now. No other suggestions I take in. None. When would you like the flag? May we have it within the week? I'll do it by tomorrow. Thank you, Mistress Betsy. I wish I might have you on my staff. Betsy Ross was as good as her word. She worked the rest of that day and long into the night, shaping stripes and stars of bunting in red and white, squaring the edges of a deep blue field, and sewing them together with binding of sailcloth and strong cord so that the first American flag could wave securely through the long, bitter years that lay ahead. And then the next day. Oh, good morning, General Washington. Come in, won't you? And you, Uncle Abel? I, uh, hope we haven't come too early. Oh, no. I have it ready for you, General. Coming to the parlor. Well, here it is. Mistress Betsy, I don't quite know what to say. Don't you like it, General? Is there something wrong? Like it? Oh, no, no, there's nothing wrong. This flag is a symbol of courage, honor, purity, and loyalty. And you have made it a thing of beauty. Yes, indeed you have, Betsy. I am greatly indebted to you, Madam. And so is the cause of American liberty. I pledge to you that I will do my best to lead this flag to victory. And that whatever its fate, I will honor it to the end of my days. You do me a great honor, General. I am glad you're pleased with it. Now you'll want to take it with you. Just a minute. I'll roll it and wrap a piece of muslin around it. Thank you, Mistress Betsy. I believe we may have made history on this day. Will you come with me, Mr. James? And if you don't need me, General, I think I'll stay a while and visit if I'm not intruding, Betsy. Of course not, Uncle Abel. I'm delighted. Goodbye, General Washington. If I can help again, I hope you'll call on me. Rest assured, I will. Will you come into the kitchen with me, Uncle Abel? I'll make up a cup of chocolate. Thank you, Betsy. That will be very nice. Now, uh, you sit over there, Uncle Abel, and talk to me. I'm... I'm proud of you, Betsy. And I know John would be too. Oh, thank you for saying that, Uncle Abel.  I fell asleep while I was sewing on the stars, and I dreamed I saw them shining in the sky. A dark blue sky with a shining ring of stars like the circle of eternity. And suddenly, the sky became a blue field in heaven. And I heard John's voice saying, I'm proud of you, Betsy. You've served our country well. I knew then, Uncle Abel, that John's death was not in vain, that somehow he had become part of a shining circle that would endure. I heard his voice no more, but then I saw the flag with a ring of stars and the flowing stripes of red and white, growing so big that it seemed to spread out over this whole great land. And then I... I saw it marching to countries I've never seen. Young women were your ships of sail, the strange countries used to tell me about when I was a little girl. And though it was a dream, I knew with certainty that these stripes and these bright stars would shine forever to light the way to justice and freedom for mankind. Young woman, how about your future? Does it include an interesting and important job? A job that will take you to the exciting places of the world, places where tomorrow's history is being made today. Right now, young women like yourself are urgently needed to serve their country in the Women's Army Corps. Here's your opportunity to secure your future.

Andy Moray is back in business, sealing a comfortable 6-3-6-2 win over Frenchman Adrian Manarino in the first round of the Indian Wells Tournament. Moray was the talk of social media this week as he asked for fans' help in finding his items that went missing at a tour in California. He had explained that he's missing shoes with his wedding ring tied to the laces, eventually turned up in the hotel's lost and found office. The Britain was happy with his performance, firing five aces and striking 19 winners to secure his first victory at the Indian Wells since 2016. I went and I spoke to the lost and found a couple of times at the hotel that day and they said they'd found nothing then I spoke to the security and said they'd found nothing so I was like well you know they're gone and then I was going to file a police report to try and get them back or to increase my chance of getting them back and then anyway I went and spoke to the hotel and explained to them that that's what I was going to do and then they then decided that they took all of my details down. The details of the shoes, ring, you know took me out to the car park and asked exactly where it was I parked and then I asked them if they could look at the cameras etc and then yeah but an hour later they turned up one of the employees at the hotel found them and they're lost and found so yeah thankfully managed to to get them back which was which was good. notification button so you get notified about fresh news updates


Yeah, so this is a manipulation. I guess problem number 11 on the practice exam How much energy is released when 2.00 oh moles of oxygen is bar Okay, well here. We've got 11 moles being burned Right, and it gives us that much energy. So we're gonna have to see how many two moles gives us So we'll say Delta H of Equals well the original Delta H is negative 41 30 kilojoules per 11 two right So for every 11 moles, right? We have negative 4,130 kilojoules being burned so if instead We want that to be two moles Also to cancel out If you only allowed two moles of oxygen into this system you would get negative 750.9 kilojoules of energy


Green ass 11.2 u4 is out as of May 7th 2019 today is May 8th, and I loaded it yesterday I didn't really have any problems loading it the upgrade went rather smooth didn't have any problems And I also went and you can see a couple instances where I loaded up the machine right here Nothing broke, and that was what I want to do is you know I loaded yesterday I was swapping around some VMs in most of the use case We have because this is technically my production machine is this video that you're watching now is edited on this machine So it'll be past tense because it's recording now and anyways That is one of our uses so it's not my video storage server it also houses on all of our VMs For dozer is what the name of the server is and we have a NFS mount and a ice-cazi mount And I was the load you seen on this was because I kept swapping things back and forth between them Moving data around didn't have any problem. Now. We also do have local storage as well So it's a combination of everything But when I do my demos my lab and everything else that I do in Zen Orchestra or even some of production stuff It's all stored on this particular server or it's stored here locally most of the time all the extra stuff We throw here And here's what it looked like when I was loading it up throwing things at it This is the built-in net data for dozer Freenance for Freenance 11 to The service turned on right now I really like that data if you're not familiar with it go look it up I've done a couple of videos on it But overall the system seems to be working smoothly no issues at all now I seen there's a lot of fixes for things like hard drive temperature I've actually had the hard drive temperature working for a while in mind But I guess some people didn't so they have some updates for that and as far as the updates In terms of other issues I seen over on reddit someone said it wasn't working from the command line I think I seen it also somewhere on the forums But I did it through the UI and it worked perfectly fine now. There's not anything major about you for it's just a small update They do have please note if you're having problems with the plugins and or the jails and I did not my jails are working perfectly fine No issues there, but they do have a specific fix for them. I o cage fetch P plug-in name Restore parameters and it's to fix some parameter problems Issues that apparently pop up there I didn't have this so I didn't have to do any of this Now in far as improvements, like I said not anything Ground-breaking here lots of little UI improvements and lots of like you know color layout select dialogue Some localization options updated Now the bug fixes there's quite a few but they're all small none of them are major one of the things I do did notice that I liked here was they added some optimizations for SMB and it sounds like it's used case for people when reading data via SMB at six to eight gig a Second so it sounds like you know people using ten gig connections and having really high data usage So some tuning that was done in there to saw that which is awesome That's great that they are very much on that now. I don't have We know uses for samba sharing for all my video editing with my workstation here. We don't use it With active directory really but with a few clients and so maybe I'll report back if there's any problems But I'm not aware of any at this moment But everything else connected fine NFS is because he the jail started right up now I'm not using the virtualization or the Docker system in here. I don't have any virtual machines defined So I don't have much input on any of that But you know jump over to the forums if you're having any problems overall. I like the update I'm going to be updating more of our client systems on there. I Usually like to load our system first and then slowly get around to updating all the client ones There's nothing in here. That was any groundbreaking shattering CVE's that had to be patched was not like a huge hurry for this one But I still like to keep everything up to date Especially our systems and see if we run any problems and then once again We file bug reports if there are any issues, but overall it's been working great No problems with it.  So overall, I'd say definitely load this I don't really see a reason not to but once again to stay in the forums and always back up everything Cases a problem. The last thing I'll address though is in the updates because someone asked me this actually It seems to be a common problem that people have and I'm I'm actually confused by it because I can't reproduce it Which is when you go to the update People seem to be confused which train I'm on to make it look like this. I'm on the standard free nas 11 to stable I'm not running nightlies. I'm it's a standard release train. I Know there are other ones like the nightlies available and things like that if you want Something different, but this is the one I'm on. So I'm trying to run standard production This is what we run for any of our clients that we've updated to the new systems is standard, you know, 11 to stable Releases so someone said they're not getting the updates or they have a different update than I do I don't know what you're doing other than maybe you're doing something in the nightly I'm always on the stable edition unless I say so otherwise, which sometimes I build test machines for But I do stay within a stable edition I've been overall a really happy with it and once again if you do have any problems I want to you know always back up But free nas I've covered this before makes it really easy to switch back to the old one because it does not destroy The old install so you can just choose to set My head out of the way You can set and reactivate the previous version if you need to so if you have problems with this version You can always reactivate to the old version on here And that's kind of like you know quick and easy way to revert back if you experience a bunch of problems with the new Version so you can revert back until those problems are solved and another update comes out or you know Look at what you have to do to solve that problem.

I hear the music, I dream of Genie. Dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, You had a crush on Genie, didn't you? Oh, Barbara Eden? Oh yeah. Yeah. That skimpy little outfit. Boing. Yeah, don't show that to a 12-year-old boy, her in that little outfit. Yeah. She was hot. I had a boy crush on her. Every guy my age probably did. Well, all the straight guys. Dun, dun, dun, dun, I've got a boner. I'm very sorry. I know. I'm down the toilet we go. Down there. Dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, Dun, dun


So, Nick, how do you see the Dodgers putting an end to this slide? Yeah, well, I mean, let's be honest. The bullpen isn't as good as they were last year. Starting pitching hasn't been as good as they were last year. And this is the first time in the last four years that your Dodgers have had to battle for the division title. We're definitely going to see what they're made of. I think the biggest thing that they're missing right now is that one consistent piece. Last year, it was Cody Bellinger. He came up and hit all year long.  Obviously, they've kind of come back down to earth a little bit. And now I just feel like there's a lot of inconsistencies in their lineup. I mean, I wouldn't even know what to change.  The lineup has been very inconsistent. They're too talented to be this inconsistent. They have a very deep lineup. How would you set the lineup? I mean, I would totally change this lineup. I mean, I would lead off weak. OK. Really? He needs a hug. He needs a hug. You know, he needs to be neat. Here he is, right here. This is the first lineup. This guy provides energy. He can run. He can hit with power. He needs to see more fastballs at the top right of the line. Second is Cody Belliger. Get him up there. Like you said, you want to get him more at bats. And he's a danger threat. And he can protect you guys for a week. Turner, Machado, Max Muncie, Matt Kemp, Brian Dozier, y'all's my granddaughters.  And this lineup will be more consistent. And they can hit the baseball.  It's just we have a deep lineup that can hit with anybody. And you both hit. So it's important to know when you come to the ballpark that where you're going to be. Exactly. Right? That's a comfort level for us. It's a comfort zone, but we got a team that's this talented. You just bring them all in and just say, hey, I know it's a little uncomfortable bat in fifth through eighth, but this is how stacked that lineup is. And we want this balance one through eight. And we're going to give any starting pitcher fits. Well, I think that's the thing, man. They also have depth. Yeah.  You know, you've got Kiki Hernandez, who could play offense. Taylor. And defense. Taylor as well. I feel like there's a lot of things.  They are second in run scored in the national league, but I think a set lineup. But lately the runs haven't been flowing as freely. So the Indians meeting with the Red Sox. He's an analyst. He has to analyze. So both of these teams with sizable division leads, they're headed towards the postseason. What's the value in this series? So let's start with the Indians for this match. Sure. Yeah, I think it was a big series for them. You got to look at it like this. They're 18 and 22 against teams over 500, which means they don't play well against the good teams in the league. The one thing also, too, you got to remember, the Indians are 13 games up coming into tonight. And the Boston Red Sox are eight games up. The one thing also on top of that is the Cleveland Indians do not play another contending team until the end of September. So that just goes to show you these games are important for them because you never know, like we talked about, this could be a playoff matchup moving forward. And the Indians definitely wanted to make a huge statement in Carnation coming off the DL. Two bombs tonight. Polly won a cracker this way and that way. I mean, the Indians are feeling good right now. I just think it was a measuring stick type of series because there's four great teams in the American League. You just saw two tonight. And both of these teams are rounding in shape. They're playing great baseball. October is going to be dynamite. I just still look at this Cleveland team as a team that could upset any one of these top three teams. So you got to watch out for these guys. And you better not go to sleep a little bit because I think they're rounding in shape more than any team right now because the pitching is getting better. The hitters are starting to really hit. And they're still looking for guys off the bench that can help them. Cleveland is going to be a team. You got to watch out for this one this year. You got guys like Melky, Cabrera, Greg Allen. Guys are stepping up in crucial spots. And obviously we haven't seen Chris Sayle pitch in this series because he's on the DL. But David Price pitching tomorrow. That's going to be interesting to see how the game shakes out tomorrow as well. These are powerhouse clubs. And so are the Yankees, but the injuries are mounting for New York.


another property of monotone functions, f let us say on a interval i to r be monotone. Let it be monotone. We are trying to analyze now more and more and we have already said it is strictly monotone then it is to be 1 1 anyway. What more properties we can say about this? So, here is let us analyze what can one say about the continuity. What can you say about the continuity of this function? So, the function is monotone and monotonicity is a property of a function over a part of the domain. It is not at a point. So, let us say it is monotonically increasing. Otherwise, what I can say? I can break up the domain into parts where the function is increasing and where the function is decreasing and analyze continuity in all those parts separately. No problem. So, let us assume it is monotonically increasing. So, let us take any point x in the domain. I want to analyze whether the function is continuous at this point or not. The monotone function need not be continuous obviously. You can have a step function going up and up everywhere discontinuous. So, at this point I want to analyze continuity. That means what? I should look at limits of sequences converging to x and look at the limits of the image sequences. So, let us take a sequence x n which is converging to x from the left side. So, let x n is bigger than or equal to x, x n converging to x. We want to look at limit of f of x n. If it is equal to f of x, then f will be continuous at the point. So, we have to analyze the image f of x n limit of that. Does it exist or not? If it exists, what is the value? But x n is increasing to x. So, x n increasing to x implies x n is less than or equal to x. That we have already taken anyway. So, implies by monotonically increasing f of x n is less than or equal to f of x. That is given to us because function is monotonically increasing. What are we interested in? Limit of the sequence f of x n. All the f of x n are bounded by above by f of x and it is an increasing sequence. x n is increasing. So, f of x n also is increasing. Is it okay? It is a monotonic increasing function. So, everything remains on the left-hand side. So, what should happen is a monotonically increasing sequence which is bounded above. It must converge by the completeness property. So, implies f of x n limit n going to infinity exists. At least the limit exists. So, what we are saying is, if f is monotonically increasing, at every point the left limit exists. Left limit exists. What about the... So, implies f has left limit. What about the right limit? If a sequence is decreasing, then f of x n also will be decreasing because function is monotonically increasing. Is it okay? Same analysis applies when you go to the right side. Still the function is monotonically increasing. So, if the sequence is decreasing, the m by sequence also must decrease. Again the limit will exist. So, similarly, let me write similarly f as right limit x n. So, how do you write the left limit? f of x minus, that is normally written as the left limit at x, is less than or equal to f of x because every point is less than or equal to f of x plus. So, f of x plus is the right limit at the point. x plus, we are approaching x from the right side. x minus, we are approaching f from the left side. So, they exist and this is what is happening. Continuity when both are, when the left limit is equal to the right limit. In general, it may not happen. So, the possibility of a jump is there in the graph of the function. So, f has only jump discontinuities. Is it okay? Because at every point, left limit and the right limit exist, only they may not be equal. So, such limits, such points of discontinuity are called points of jump discontinuity because the graph of the function will have a jump at that point. Coming from the left at some point, it jumps to the right limit at that point. We do not know what is the value of the function at that whether it is in between somewhere, but that is not of concern because the function has a discontinuity. You can say something more. See the left limit, so at discontinuity, at a discontinuity at the point x, f of x minus, what will happen? This is in general true. If it is at the point of discontinuity, what should happen? They are not equal. That means, this is strictly less than f of left limit is strictly less than the right limit. When it is strictly less than, so these are two real numbers. One is less than the other. So, there must be a rational number in between.  Why I am doing that? The reason is I am assigning a kind of tag to the discontinuity, a number to the discontinuity, a roll number kind of thing. So, if x is a point of discontinuity, then there is a rational number attached to it. So, how many discontinuities the function can have? For every discontinuity, there is a rational number. So, all the discontinuities form a subset of the number of, you can think of, a subset of rationales. They are at the most countable in many. So, implies discontinuities of at most countable. In fact, I can say something more. What I want to say is different discontinuities do not get the same roll number. I want to say that also, because it is possible for a rational number. There are uncountable number of discontinuities having the same kind of number associated with it. I would not want to say that is not possible, because if there are two discontinuities, different ones, then one will be less than the other. Then what will happen? There will be a distance between them. So, can you say the rationales associated with each different discontinuities are different? I want to say for one discontinuity, so here is a point of discontinuity, call it x1. Here is a point of another discontinuity x2. To this, I have associated a rational r1. To this, I have associated a rational r2. What is this r1? It is between f of x1 plus and less than f of x1 minus. Similarly, this one is between f of x2 minus less than or equal to f of x2 plus. Now, what can you say about these two numbers? The left limit at x1 is less than or equal to the right limit at x1 and the left limit at x2. Can they be equal? Can they be equal? They have to be distinct, because for example, I can start approaching this. Start approaching this from some point, a midpoint between the two. Then everything, the right limit at x1 will be different from the right left limit at x2. Are you getting that point or not? Let me repeat once again that let x1, x2 be points of discontinuity x1 less than x2.  How do you get the left limit at x1? This is x1 and this is x2. How do you get the right limit at x1? You are going to approach from this side. If there is a distance between them, x1 and x2, then all the points in that sequence will be on this side. So, what I am saying is, when this you take a sequence, f of x1 will also be, because it is monotonically increasing, so let us take x1 plus x2 by 2. So, all the image of those points will be less than f of x1 plus x2. So, you will be looking at a sequence xn, which is going to decreasing to x. Then what will happen to f of xn? That will decrease to the left limit f of, right limit f of x plus, but these all xn are less than or equal to x1 plus x2 by 2. Function is increasing. So, f of x1 plus x2 by 2 is bigger than or equal to this, bigger than or equal to this. When you approach from the, if there is a distance, the right limit at the point x1 has to be strictly less than the left limit at x2. That means what? That clearly says, because we are choosing a rational between the left limit and the right limit. So, this rational will be different for, so that association of assigning a tag to every discontinuity, we are assigning it to be a rational number for different discontinuities, different rational numbers, right. So, how many are possible at the most countably infinite? So, that is what we have said here, that only jump discontinuities and they are at the most countable, because of this 1 1 association, right. It is like assigning a roll number to each discontinuity. So, what we have said is, every monotone function is having discontinuities only of the first kind. They are called the jump discontinuities and they are at the most countable many. So, let us write as a theorem, if you like. So, the theorem that we have proved, f monotonically increasing or monotonically decreasing has at most countable number of discontinuities and these are only jump discontinuities and these are only jump discontinuities and these are only jump discontinuities. So, this is special, this monotone functions have many nice properties. Monotone is strictly monotone is 1 1, only discontinuities, jump countably many, right. So, we looked at what is called the continuity. Here is something I should probably say, how did we define the continuity of a function at a point? We looked at whenever a sequence x n converges to x, the limit f of x n must exist and that must be equal to the value of the function at that point, right. There is another way of describing this continuity in terms of neighborhoods, which is sometimes useful. Let me state that and then probably prove it. So, the theorem says, f is on a say interval to R and we have got a point say, let us say c belonging to I, f continuous at x is equal to c if and only if, because we are saying it is equivalent. So, for every epsilon given as 0, there is a delta bigger than 0 such that x minus c absolute value less than should imply f of x minus f of c is less than absolute. So, let us just look at it what we are saying. See, when we said f is continuous at c, we said that if the point c is approached by a sequence, we are coming close to the c by a sequence corresponding images f of x n should come closer to f of c. This closeness is interpreted in another way in this. It says, see f of x is the value to be predicted of the function at a point nearby, f of c is the actual value. So, this is the error you are making f of c minus f of x absolute value is the error you are making in looking at the value of the function at the point c and we want this error to be small. How small? It says for every, I will give you how small I want. So, given this, I should be able to find a delta so that whenever any point is close to c by the distance delta, f of c minus f of c, then the error that you are making is less than absolute. So, if you look at this condition, this is just saying this is the point c and this is c minus delta to c plus delta and this is f of c and this is f of c minus epsilon and f of c plus epsilon. So, what we are saying is this is what is given to us. So, this is what is given neighborhood of the point f of c is given to us. We want the value of the function should come in between this neighborhood. For what values? For all values which are close to c, we should be able to find this neighborhood, at least one neighborhood so that all these values, everything from here, from the neighborhood this goes inside here. If this is x here, then your f of x is somewhere here. So, I sort of feel like you are jumping and approaching the point c that is the sequence or you are pulling a point near on the line, you are pulling a point near c. Both are same basically, you are approaching the point. So, how does one prove this thing? So, let us give a proof because proof is not difficult, but it is interesting because it will. So, you can interpret it this way. For every neighborhood, epsilon neighborhood of the point f of c given, there is a neighborhood, a delta neighborhood of the point c. So, that all points in the delta neighborhood go inside the epsilon neighborhood. So, let us write a proof of this theorem.  So, this is given to show continuity in my original definition. So, to show if x n converges to c, then f of x n converges to c. So, this is the epsilon converges to f of c. So, you can say this is epsilon delta definition or the neighborhood definition implies the sequence definition. We are saying both are equivalent. So, one implies the other we will show. So, I want to show f of x n converges to f of c. So, what is to be shown? f of x n must come closer to f of c after some stage. How close you want? So, we say, let epsilon greater than 0 be given. Choose delta bigger than 0 so that this is what is given to me. There is a delta. Choose delta by star. Say that this happens. x n is going to c. So, we have got a neighborhood of c, delta neighborhood. What should happen? So, given delta, what should happen to the sequence x n? So, given delta bigger than 0, there is a stage n naught such that x n belongs to that neighborhood. So, if you want in terms of such x n belongs to c minus delta to c plus delta for every n bigger than n naught. Is it okay? Because x n is converging to c. So, it should come close to c. How close? We want it close by the distance delta because then what will happen? What will happen by star? Then for every n bigger than n naught by star, what will happen? f of x n minus f of c will be less than epsilon. That was the epsilon delta definition. Whenever x is close to c by delta, that should happen. Now x n has come close to c. That is what we are saying. So, this is a and that should imply that and that precisely meaning to say. So, given any epsilon, we have got a stage n naught. So, implies limit f of x n n going to infinity. So, epsilon delta definition implies our sequence definition of continuity. Let us prove the other way round. Conversely, let f have the property. What is the property? For every sequence x n converging to c should imply f of x n converges to f of c. So, that is given to me. To show for every epsilon bigger than 0, there is a delta such that x minus c less than delta implies f of x minus f of c is less than f. So, that is what is to be shown. The sequence definition implies epsilon delta definition. So, here is suppose naught. So, here is sometime I had made a remark. If you want to understand what is true, you should also understand what is false. So, what is the meaning of saying that this statement is not true? This statement is true for every epsilon something is happening. So, not true means at least there is one counter example. So, there is at least one epsilon. So, it means there exists epsilon bigger than 0 such that what should happen? The remaining statement there is a delta and all that should not be true. So, for every point x less than this delta something is happening. That means there are points in the neighborhood delta where this thing will not be true, whether required inequality will not be true. So, such that there exists. So, for every delta there exists a point x delta such that x delta minus c is less than delta, but f of x minus f of c is bigger than or equal to epsilon. Is that okay? For every epsilon something was happening. So, that goes to saying that. So, that has become there exists an epsilon for something goes wrong. What goes wrong? This f x minus f of c less than epsilon should go wrong. For what? For at least one point in that neighborhood and for what delta? For every delta there exists should become to. So, this there exists becomes for every delta it should be violated. So, this is what it means the negation of that statement. So, this is what is if we assume epsilon delta definition does not hold then this is what is given to me. So, I am able to select points x delta close to x for every delta. And what is I am trying to hit? I am trying to construct a sequence which should converge, but the image should not converge. That is the contradiction I will have. So, how do we get a sequence by specializing delta? Something is happening for every delta. So, the obvious thing is delta equal to I want a sequence to converge to c. So, delta should become smaller and smaller also. So, one obvious choice is take delta equal to 1 over n. So, in particular. So, one writes in particular everything is motivated by what we want for delta equal to 1 over n. There exists a point x n such that x n minus c is less than 1 over n. I am specializing that equation now x delta I am calling it as x n, but f of x n minus f of c is bigger than epsilon. So, what does the left hand side say? x n minus c is less than 1 over n for every n. The sequence x n has the property that the distance between x n and c is less than 1 over n. So, that means what? That means that the sequence x n is converging to c by sandwich theorem. If you like, it is less than 1 over n. So, implies x n converging to c, but mod of x n minus f of c is bigger than or equal to epsilon. So, we said that there exists an epsilon. So, there exists a sequence. So, the sequence converges to c, but the distance between f of x n and f of c always remains bigger than that number epsilon. So, f of x n is not going to converge to f of c. So, in contradiction to the given thing. So, what is given should happen for every sequence? Every sequence that should happen, but we have produced a sequence which is converging to c, but that proves that the two are equivalent.


observe and interact. It's David Hongren's first permaculture principle and it comes at the beginning because in order to know what to do we need to understand where we are so that's the bit about observation but the interaction bit is also important because we can observe what's going on around us but by interacting with things by doing stuff then we also learn as a result of you know did that work well. And Bill Morrison warned us not to do anything big or that we might regret early on like build a house because of course we might look at it later and say we put it in the wrong place but planting some annual veg there's not too much that can go wrong with that. If we're planting a fruit tree and there are some fruit trees up here then they're likely to be there for a long time so we need to be a bit clear about that but we can do things with annuals and learn about how they're feeling. We very much got an interesting mixture of different responses from different beds and places that we've been growing things on the site so we thought we'd start here at the top of the land. This is a bed we made in the spring as part of the orchard ultimately to be part of the forest garden that we're going to be putting in here but for now we basically we put down cardboard we surrounded with some stones so there's some compost on here but there wasn't a huge amount I mean it's more in the middle and on the outside because we heap it up in the centre and we planted three things primarily we put in New Zealand spinach which is this one it's been doing very well we've been cropping for salads the small things and also for cooking, steaming, the leeks as you can see they're doing pretty well you know not super super but they're okay given that it's October and we put a lot of beetroot as well and that's dotted about there's this one here is typical so let's just pull it out let's give you a sense of the size of that and you know we've had a good beetroot crop this year and this is one of the things we're going to see in a few places so let's now compare this site with the bottom of this tree over here so here's the bed that we've just been looking at you can see this tree is very close by we planted this in the spring it's a plum well it's a gauge called old green gauge and it's done pretty well this year considering it's quite a big tree to be transplanting and we mulched around the base to give it a chance against the grass because grass obviously is quite very competitive to newly planted trees and we planted in a few things like some allium so these alliums had mycorrhizal fungi grown with them before we put them in you can see they're very happy and i suspect that might be why the tree is done pretty well this year one of the reasons and so we surrounded it with cardboard and put a lot of seaweed down because we're very close to the coast and we've got good access to seaweed so we just mulched all around the outside and put a little bit of compost on top i think but not very much as you can see over the course of the summer a lot of plants have started to make their way in but i had some spare beetroots which i didn't have anywhere else to plant because early days we still hadn't made enough beds and so i thought well i'll just chop some in around the base of the tree what no there's nothing to lose and interestingly now this is the one i've just picked from the other bed and as you can see the ones in this bed let's not pull them all up at once have done a little bit better maybe that might even be heading in the direction of twice as big obviously the leaves are a lot bigger and happier essentially the same microclimate this one's here this one's here um this one's had more seaweed this bed didn't have seaweed so and i suspect that may be one reason but again observing the interacts we're observing the differences without necessarily making assumptions about this is the exact reason why but it might be something to do with the seaweed and one of the trees that we planted actually grew some sea beet underneath obviously the sea beet which grows along the coast has seeded into some of the seaweed we brought the seaweed home and on one of the pear trees down in the lower garden there's a really big sea beet plant growing there very very happy so obviously beet is the kind of family that would you know likes these kind of conditions anyway so anyway there's those two let's go look further down in the bottom garden ah before we get to the bottom garden just want to show you this on the way this is a bed that we made in the spring again we looked at this area and we were looking for somewhere with a bit of shelter because it's quite a windy site particularly up on the top here and we noticed this this provides some shelter from the wind so the west is behind us and we thought this would be a good place to be growing squashes and we've also put in a few other things like yakkons and some Jerusalem architokes and so on here and tucked in here also we've put well there's more New Zealand spinach which grew quite leggy and we've put in some leeks and if you can see this leak but compared to all the other leeks on the site it's pretty pitiful really the squashes the courgettes as they are have suffered a lot from powdery mildew this year which affects photosynthesis so as soon as the leaf gets it it basically it stops working and they have to make new leaves and these have not been very happy but i think in part it's all been down to the fertility here so we got in some different kinds of compost this year we didn't move house with compost so we had to get hold of some and in the spring we got hold of some locally green waste compost but the guy he has storage and it's obviously been there for a while it looks like he doesn't sell a lot of it and it had been sat for a while and we made the bed at the top with it and some of the beds further down and that seemed to be really nice stuff and then we got some in because of the lockdown we had difficulty getting some compost we managed to get some from further away and the guy brought it on the lorry on a truck and tipped it and it was really hot as soon as it arrived it was hot so it had hardly been decomposed and the problem i think we have with this is that essentially it has no life in it so whilst there's a lot of organic matter here what it does lack is life it's not right now lacking water let's go down the bottom autumn is most definitely upon us so this is a little bed that we made earlier in the season we put a gate through here in this fence and this was all hedge around the corner here so we moved some of the hedging plants and some of the stone that was over here that was making this bed that was continuous here we made into a round bed and just made a very basic cardboard mulching bed so this was directly under soil but there was lots of sedge and different weeds and things in here so we just put a load of cardboard down we covered it in compost because we didn't have lots of stone to build up the sides it wasn't a lot of compost we planted some fecilia so it's some fecilia in this is a nitrogen fixer it's been a bit slow getting going again i think the compost not especially good but over the period of the season a whole bunch of things have grown in here some of which we put in like the strawberries and this brassica is a spare brassica i had i don't even know what it is we'll find out when it grows and some beetroots here and there's some volunteers like the nettles and the campion and so on and so forth there's some dock in here the main thing really for me was to get it covered get some things growing in here get the life in the soil going and really it needs building up more but it's interesting not just looking at the size of the beetroots again so here this is a yellow one rather than a red one here's a nice red one but what happens if we pull them well they've obviously grown pretty well but we have a lot of nibbling going on and there we are you can see essentially whether the beetroot been out the ground they've been eaten and we do know we have voles here voles like good cover that they can scurry around underneath not be seen by birds of prey and so on anything that might like to eat them so oh there's a bit of fissilia come out there so beetroots they've grown okay considering but they're getting nibbled here so something important for us to be aware of is next year we will we either have to make this less full friendly or it's not a very good idea to be planting crops that voles would like to eat let's have a look down here so the other thing that's been going on as we've been moving from place to place is we've been getting closer to the back door and from here it's maybe between five and ten meters to this bed uh when we arrived this was full of roses and roses like feeding so I imagine they were pretty well fed this got good deep compost we actually put in a cherry tree here we weren't expecting to plant a tree in this bed but when we looked at the compost we thought yes we should do that and we planted a lot of fruit along here various different things the currents perhaps were a bit over fertilized because they grew quite vigorously and then got attacked by aphids in the first year but then again aphids would be around for the roses so maybe that was a connection there hopefully that will be less of an issue this next year they've got some good buds on anyway and you can see the strawberries have done very well we're making sure we've got some for next year to be planting out as well and another thing of course what else will be put in the bed but beet roots it's worth bearing in mind that all of these beet roots were grown in the same module sown from seed at the same time grown side by side in the same modules in the same place and planted out at the same time and we've had well this is from the top bed this is from the one next to it but under the tree this one probably more or less as good and what's worth bearing in mind is that essentially this has been growing in virtually no soil this has had seaweed so what's the difference apart from the fact that this has been seriously munched what is the difference well the difference is that we're right next to the pond here in the spring there's a lot of algae that grows in the pond because the fish obviously they continue to poo over the winter and what happens is that builds up the algae take advantage of that and there's no bigger plants growing at that point so you get this big flush so we're scooping lots of that water out and we're using it to water things and because water is heavy we don't like to move it very far so essentially it comes from there and what's the easiest place to put it to that bed there which is also a fruit bed or this bed or up here so basically in the bottom courtyard here near the back door in zone one or zone 1.1 everything's getting a lot of feeding whereas these at the top were not really being fed at all then we're getting a little bit of watering from time to time but it's a lot of way it's basically up that wall there on the other side to take that heavy water with the nutrients in so these got less fed so the benefits these have had down here this had less fertility in the soil than this one but this one got more often fed and let's have a look at this one well what's going on with this beetroot well it is a monster beetroot as you can see you probably guessed from the leaves fantastic leaves but essentially if we put that side by side with the best one from the top there we are that's the difference now i'm not saying that that's going to be as tender as this one but this bed is full of fertility and it's getting fed a lot and that's the big difference so putting things in zone one nearest where you hang out and particularly if you're going to be moving water around for watering or nourishing plants with liquid feeds then the closer they are to your back door the more likely they are to look like this and of course we also have voles here as you can see because again there's lots of vegetation they're hanging around here but we've still got a lot more beetroot left after that good munch than we do with this one so look at what you're fertilizing with how far things away to move water and just bear in mind that those things can make a huge difference


Hi, I'm Kate Morris and I'm studying an education degree at Griffith. I love studying education here. Did you know that Griffith is the only uni that doesn't make you choose whether you want to study and teach primary, secondary or early childhood until second year? If you're interested in studying a degree that can prepare you to make a remarkable difference in the world or follow your passion, you should come along to Griffith Open Day on Sunday the 12th of August. The Bachelor of Social Science, Tate. All of the boxes, it looks at society and people and behaviour and relationships, but also that in environmental sustainability or global security and being able to major in those subjects. I was just like, that is so cool. Like, Tate, we're in a course that meets my passion and my purpose. I chose Griffith because it's ranked number one in Queensland for a lot and it also has the largest criminology school in all of Australia. The thing I love most about studying law at Griffith is the amazing practical experience that you get. As soon as you start in first year, you're immersed in a range of amazing practical experiences. The legal clinics that Griffith offers are absolutely incredible here. Whether you're interested in criminal advocacy or refugee and immigration law or whether you're interested in negotiating commercial disputes, there's something here for absolutely everyone, which is absolutely incredible. The reason that Griffith University is the number one ranked university for communications is because we really put a lot of effort into making sure that our students are partnering with the communication leaders. So we partner with media outlets around Australia like Fairfax, Murdoch or even event and corporate communications organisations. Purpose built media centres around the G20, Commonwealth Games. We've partnered with Blues on Broad Beach. We have students interning with the Walkleys. I'm really excited about the new degree that we've developed. Our researchers are leaders in the field here in Australia and internationally. But I think what makes us really different is we really focus on the student. The partners that we partner with, the opportunities that we create specifically for our students to make sure they graduate with the skills that they need to be future ready for the media and the communications roles that are coming. If you're interested in studying humanities, education, criminology or law, make sure you check out what's on offer at Griffith Open Day. Visit the Griffith website to plan your day.


Abstract, Gaussian processes are a popular method for stochastic function approximation in science and engineering applications. However, they are computationally expensive due to their high numerical complexity. To overcome this limitation, we propose a new approach based on ultra-flexible, compactly supported, and non-stationary kernels, which allows us to scale exact Gaussian processes beyond 5 million data points.

How about some high school boys? La Crosse, Grand Rapids at Duluth. Early on, Jackson Hill takes the shot and scores for the Wolfpack. That gives them the lead. Then later, Jackson again. But this time, fires over Rapids keeper, Nano Di Giuseppe, and out of play, the Thunderhawks just couldn't get their offense going. Nick Madden makes the save here. All Duluth in this one tonight. Final score there was nine to two. If you enjoyed this segment of Lakeland News, please consider making a tax deductible contribution to Lakeland PBS.
