PhD at the biomedical center Telugu and I will talk about flies, fruit flies particularly that I'm working with and I'm finding fascinating and I would like you to know more about that and actually to learn why we're using and how we can benefit from a study of a fly that has nothing in the first dance common with a human. So what about organisms? Organisms that scientists use a lot called model organisms and we do experiments with them to learn what drugs, discover drugs or turn what particular diseases mean and how it refers and all this stuff. And it's all ok and nice when it's come to my eyes it's all right, it's big ones. Because they're mammals like me and it makes sense to work with them but what about this guy? It's like housing an alien in your lab. It's scary isn't it? So do we have anything common with that one? I don't think so but we'll show you. It's life cycle, you know about life cycles. It's a human life cycle so we have a baby we know that, we're older, the boys with the go and they have another babies. That's our cycle. The flies have a different one. The flies from my lab to show you how it looks like. So we just grab wireless and give them a little bit, fold away. So we do have an egg which is very visible with a human eye. But then it became a labra that crawls around in that food and eats, eats, eats. It became bigger. And actually in the top layer you can probably see the points of the labra crawling when they've eaten out you can actually see them everywhere. And then they go on the walls of the tube and they pupate and metamorphosis undergoes.  And how it happens that it's actually five Nobel prizes for one for medicine physiology by studying the fly. They have cellular organs and parts like digestive system, or nervous system, or for example body organization or even the muscle structure itself. It actually is my topic. I'm doing my thesis about that but I won't go into details because it's not that interesting. I will have another more interesting topic to discuss. Let's go a little bit into more details by the organization. As a fly we also have a head, a nervous system. So you know the central nervous system has two main parts. It's like a brain. It's called a ventral just because it's here positioned. And then they also cover your body the same for flying because it should enable different movements in flying. Like flying is really complicated then they need to respond fast. That's why they have a good neural system. But except of that, except of the body organization, what's about and discuss one particular topic of flies So this is a polygons charter that is even in the trunk. So males tend to eat even other males. As a rejection from females they tend to drink more after rejection. Interesting, but how we actually benefit from the fly research and how we won the Nobel prize with that. So flies, a lot of genes are in common and actually 75% of mutations that lead to diseases are common between humans and flies. So flies are easier to find at gene in fly. Then it's related to find its little brother in another organism that doesn't say function and looks kind of like. In the back mice and then the human and if that gene mutated leads to disease and cancer. You can actually identify drug that working back and falls. So this story that I tell you started in the 70s with those guys. They were interesting to find out what is with egg of the Drosophila, how it evolves. Because it's actually complicated for this small guy. And the beginning is just like, yeah, it's all about nothing going on. But with a period of time it gets folded properly and segmented. The segments become the segments of a larvae and allow it to crawl around. A lot of stuff going outside and inside and they're interesting to find out what's actually happening if you disturb this function. So they poison their flies with a non-chemical cancer again. So they cause the mutations over the genome. Then they collected the mutants that had effect in the egg. So egg looked different from the normal one. Massive screening went with many different kinds. So sometimes you would be part of the initial body like the normal one. Two butts instead of heads. But what we may be just thinking and I'll talk about is this one. This guy called H.C.O.P. It's this black dot that you see here. It's actually like it's like metal skin. It's a spiky cells. They're spiky. And this helps a larva to crawl. When it's normally, it's in patches. And the spiky cells allow the larva to like wrap to the surface and to move. It's held forward. And here is just universal distributed salt. This one will not move anywhere. It cannot coordinate. And soon enough they found that it's mutation in that gene. They identified the gene also. And what actually is this gene normally doing? So they went back to the eggs on the fly to see what's going on. And actually what this H.C.O.P. do is like it's positioned, let's say, in the upper layer of the surface of the egg. And it gets distributed from one point to another. And it's kind of in a gradient. It starts here in the high. And then it goes out inside the sky gradient. And it goes lower, lower, lower, lower. What is a house? This spiky cells stop here. And depending on how much concentration of H.C.O.P. you have, you will have a longer or shorter ones. Or like none at all. This happens in the egg. But the H.C.O.P. is not only present in the egg, in the fly. It's also present. It has similar function. So it's expressed in the back of the wing and making the cells different in appearance than those front ones. And then scientists were like, okay, and if I put this protein here, it actually gives a second wind on top growing. The cells that flies have in the wing, people do have. And that's called politically, like in English, yeah. In human, this gene is responsible to that. They're not family. They're the same. Exactly. They're the same. They're stroked flies. So you do have an embryo. This part of the hand, the different appearance from the other one. And then it's again expressed in the fingers. But the thing is that this mutation in humans leads to cancer, the skin cancer in this gene, in the sonic hedgehog. Which is not good, but with extensive research on a fly, it was possible to find a drug against the sonic.  So that's how flies actually helps. So, and it's even more than that. They can be used for stem cells, heap and jet lags. They also get jet lag. And addictions like caffeine or alcohol, age and age rate diseases, the immunology. So that can be started with flies. And I want to thank you. And maybe if you're interested in flying, you can look at this really nice talk by a fly guy, like a very famous one at TED Talks about fly-fly. And this is a movie from one PhD that decided he wanted to be a... turn of movies. And they actually did this nice film fly room. It's actually like drama and biography about the first fly room. And it was settled in the United States. It's a nice movie to watch and learn more about flies. That's all I think. How do you make a jet lag in fly? You said they also have jet lag. So how do you know that flies have jet lag? They usually lose coordination. And it's like behavioral concepts. So you look at them and try to fly it. And you can try different drugs with them also. To see how they react. And then rate it to humans. It was really cool to listen about the different superpowers of flies. Is there some really cool superpower produced by some mutation that could be transplanted to my son or someone? So I think you have it as well. Thanks. Thank you. Yeah, I don't think that's... Gino would be flying our Gino. But they are kind of ready to head. That's what you were asking. You want a cool flying gene to your son? Not so far yet. But ask me when of 50 years maybe. See how that works.


Before going to the UFC, Yovano Jacek was a world champion in Muay Thai and kickboxing. After a 6-in-0 start to her MMA career, she made her UFC debut in July of 2014. Two fights later, she dominated then-Champion Karla Esparza, winning her first UFC straw weight title in the company. She then lost to UFC straw weight championship to Rosnama Eunice in shocking fashion at Madison Square Garden in November of 2017, and then lost to rematch at Barclay Center the next April. Since then, she's dominated other straw weight contenders, but lost opportunities at the flyweight and straw weight championships. Now as 16-in-4 in her career, the longest reigning straw weight champion ever is back in a rematch against Zhang Wei Li. In a straw weight title bout in March of 2020, Zhang Wei Li won a fight that many felt could have gone either way, and many also thought it was the fight of the year. This time, there are no titles involved, so the winner is hoping to get one more crack at it. For more, follow Fandu on YouTube, Twitter, Twitch, Instagram, and TikTok.


Stop dressing as real life murderers for Halloween! And that goes for victims too. The only JFK we should be seeing is one next to a birthday cake and Diana better be wearing a puffy ass wedding dress. Recent portrayals of serial killers have almost universally been accused of glamorizing the perpetrators, trivializing the crimes, and re-traumatizing the victims' families. Plus, do you really want to associate yourself with someone who preyed on marginalized men, cannibalized them, and then got away with it for so long because authorities didn't care about the POC victims? Yeah, I didn't think so. Besides, there are already so many fictional killers to choose from that already have built-in funny costumes. Ghostface, Freddy, Tyler Perry's Medea, all perfectly fine. Just keep your Evan Peters wig and your aviator glasses at home.


12. Introverts are best at doing There's somewhat of a negative stereotype around introverts. People say that they're too quiet to have fun or be social. Well, that is a blatant lie.  Introverts have some of the best personality traits they just usually keep to themselves. Here are just some of the things introverts are great at doing. 1. Having thought-provoking conversations Introverts don't like small talk. The whole, how are you? Can you believe this weather? Did you see the game last night? Shit chat is worthless. Due to their disdain for the idle chatter, they're seen by most as unsociable. And this is not the case. Introverts want to get straight down to the meat of things. They want to hear your deepest thoughts, your desires and dreams. None of that, I'm fine, how are you? Talk. Introverts know that you have a story to tell and they want to hear it. They want to know your opinions and questions and answers to questions that are infrequently spoken about because of their deep topics. Introverts have a therapist guidance counselor mentality and charisma causing us to make you feel more comfortable with speaking your mind and soul. This is good for everyone around.  Number two, being effective salespeople. I know what you're thinking. What, what in the world? An introvert excels at a profession that requires constant vis-a-vis interaction? Yes, introverts pay attention, care and are comfortable in familiar situations so they can be confident in their daily jobs even as salespeople. Being highly cognitive people, introverts take time to fully understand their product, customer and outcomes. From this, introverts are highly prepared for any unexpected events such as objections, crankiness and touchy questions. They might not be happy with it but they can handle it effectively nonetheless. Number three, taking care of animals. Introverts love to be swaddled and love and affection by those close to them especially when it's our furry friends so they do enjoy to return the favor. Introverts are professionals at taking care of animals especially when they do it alone. You need a dog sitter? No problem. You need someone to take care of your cat while you're away? Nuff said. Introverts have no problem snuggling up next to a dog, cat, bunny or goldfish and spending a nice day together. They enjoy the company of animals more than humans in most situations. They sympathize with animals. Introverts can calm a troubled pet since they're experienced with calming their own troubled minds. They have a lot of energy and want to have fun, eat and get their belly rubbed but when all is said and done they need their rest. Same, dog. Same. Four, being observant. Introverts aren't quiet without a purpose. They observe. While you're over there talking about the latest fad or your weird dream last night, they're listening and watching. They see the way your forehead wrinkles when your grandpa's mentioned and they notice when there's a new painting hanging up in the office. Introverts spend time watching and memorizing their surroundings and environments so they feel comfortable enough to interact with them. Who would jump into the darkness without a flashlight? Introverts prefer to analyze their surroundings rather than focus on biases so that when they finally voice out their misgivings these should be taken seriously. Introverts are the first to notice anything slightly out of the ordinary and they're also the ones to be the devil's advocate and notice flaws and ideas and concepts. Introverts usually spend a lot of time thinking about the worst possible situation and how to get out of it so trust them, they know what they're talking about. Five, being great leaders. As are many of these points this one is notably surprising. How can someone who dislikes abundant social interaction be a great leader when a leader's job is to lead others? A recent poll shows that not all successful leaders are extroverts. Outgoing individuals use their charisma and spunk to command attention and get things done while reserved bosses lay low and observe their underlings and always know what's best for them, the person and the situation. They never speak just to be heard or because they're the boss. They speak to assist and help others because introverts imagine themselves in quite every situation just to be prepared. They're careful and attentive, humble and prepared and they're comfortable working alone showing that good leadership isn't always flashy. So if you ever have a boss that is more on the shy or reserved side, this doesn't mean that he or she dislikes you or thinks they're better than you. It could be that they're an introvert as well and don't have anything to say about your performance since you're doing a good job without them. Six, being great workers. Alongside being great leaders, introverts also know very well when to take a step back and get the work done. They're attentive, wholehearted, determined and motivated to always do their very best. Since introverts usually don't use their words or quick wit to talk them out of sticky situations, they use their intellectual prowess to provide an answer rather than an excuse. Hand them an extended project, let them work alone in a comfortable environment and you'll get incredible results. Introverts need a little supervision because they're always triple checking themselves, seeing the flaws in everything and preparing every argument that could be made against their work and working around it to avoid said confrontation. These qualities make them effective followers as well, being dedicated to the completion of their responsibility, provided their solitude is undisturbed. Seven, listening to your troubles. Have you ever needed to vent confided in a close friend and felt like they weren't really even listening to you? That's the opposite of an introvert. Since introverts know how hard it is for them to express their emotions verbally, if a loved one expresses feelings to them, they will listen hard and well. Introverts are perfect for when you need a shoulder to cry on or just someone to hear your story. As said earlier, introverts hate small talk. So if you go straight to the meaty deep talk, they'll provide an impeccable set of ears and even some incredible advice for you to follow. Introverts are sensitive to pain, their own and others. They can tell when you're really upset or when you need to get something off your chest. If a reserved friend asks you if everything's all right, there's no need to hide behind another. I'm fine. I'm just tired. Go ahead and tell them what's bothering you. There's no better support than that of an introverted friend. Eight, counseling. In addition to listening, introverts excel at helping you cope with your worries. They can easily read people while others are just listening and introvert analyzes and interprets the speaker's thoughts, actions, choice of words and preconceptions. They can notice little body expressions you don't even realize you're doing. They can help you pin down exactly what's bothering you and even suggest how to resolve it. Unfortunately, many introverts are familiar with pain and suffering, so they're quite experienced on how to alleviate any emotional pain you're going through. Furthermore, calming someone down isn't all about talking. It's about understanding and making deep relationships built on trust. Being empathetic is what introverts do. Having someone there listening and supporting you in a time of need is just as comforting as a nice warm hug, which many introverts may often initiate in moments like these. Nine, thinking before acting. Introverts don't speak quite often, so when they do, every single word was chosen very carefully ahead of time. Sometimes due to this, introverts may take a while to get a sentence out, since they're mentally preparing and rehearsing each word before they say it. Since introverts take a while to express themselves, many extroverts just ignore them and talk over them. This can cause introverts to become even more shy so that they don't get ignored again, as this is traumatic and embarrassing. So if your introverted friend speaks up, pay close attention, because what he or she has to say is probably important. Ten, knowing themselves. We all know that quiet persons have the loudest minds. Introverts spend a lot of time in their own heads. From this, they know themselves pretty well. Aside from being silent critics, introverts are constantly having inner monologues, evaluating themselves and their choices in everyday situations. Thus they rarely have any existential crises and can easily figure out their strengths and weaknesses. They know who they are, what they want, and what is important to them. They might just not tell you all of that information. You could say that they're silent but confident. Eleven, being a source of wisdom. By nature, introverts love information, learning, and discovering new things. They might not be the first to go mountain climbing but they'll definitely be in awe over a new NASA discovery. Their minds are constantly urging for more facts and things to ponder over in the silence of their daily lives. Not only that, but they use these interesting facts and information to share with others when the time is relevant. So you never know when your small voiced friend might know the exact answer to your problems after reading about a similar situation months ago. Twelve, being a loyal friend. Introvert friends will not betray you. They have no reason to. They would never talk about you behind your back or lie to you in a harmful way. Every secret desire or dream you've ever shared with them will always be safe whether or not the friendship lasts. Introverts cherish friendships and no matter the circumstances would never betray someone who once confided in them. They value relationships and try hard to keep them which makes them some of the best friends you will ever have. Introverts have quite a lot of skills in those quiet little bodies. If you're an extrovert don't be hesitant to communicate with silent peers. You'll be surprised at what they're capable of and if you're an introvert be proud. You have nothing to feel inferior about since behind that shyness lies a storm of talents and that's all from us at Psych2Go. Don't forget to like comment and subscribe for more.


Thanks for checking out this movie review video. So this is for the 2020 release Sputnik and it's a foreign film So I know there are people out there who aren't big into foreign films But trust me give this a shot. It is a good film. It is a fun film You don't have to read subtitles because I actually got it out through Netflix DVD and the default was dubbed in English I did change it though because I wanted to make sure that I was actually getting the subtitles because I wanted the actual performances of those Actors so it's a 2020 film. So for that reason, this is a no spoiler review I'll give a little synopsis and I'll give kind of some thematic stuff about it But no real like spoilers about how the film ends up happening, you know the events of the film One thing to note. I'm using a new camera and a new setup with the camera. So hopefully things look really good I do have videos after this coming out that weren't done with this camera So they're not gonna look as good, but eventually all of mine should be done with this camera. So yeah, just saying Anyway, Sputnik was directed by Igor Abramenko This was his first feature film. He did a bunch of short films prior to that It was written by Oleg Malovitchko and Andrei Zoloterov and Sputnik Sputnik the actual term Sputnik just so people know upfront. It obviously has a Russian historical Importance to it because of the Sputnik satellite that had gone up into space But in addition Sputnik actually means either companion or fellow traveler So just know that because it is important for the overall actual film It's a cool tie-in for the reason I do really like the title before I knew anything about the film I was kind of like Sputnik as a title like everybody knows about Sputnik the satellite well Maybe not everyone but people of my age and older probably know of the Sputnik satellite So I thought it was kind of not the coolest title, but when you get the tie-in it it means something and it is pretty cool So I do enjoy it The creature in this film because there is a creature in this film There the movements for the creature was actually based off a Komodo dragon Which if you know that and you're watching the film you can definitely see that It was supposed to initially be a mix of practical and CGI for the actual creature, but Nobody ended up actually being able to deliver The quality level that they needed or wanted for the film for the practical portion of it So they went with CGI only and I will say the CGI actually stands up quite well in this film It looks really good And part of the reason being the film is very dark throughout and there's you know There ends up being like a real reason for that so trust It's not just like we kept it dark because we wanted the CGI to look better But because it fits the story that it's darker in the film the CGI stands up better You can't see you know issues with lines or movement as much But you do get you know like head-on like good looks at the creature and it looks good It's well executed. Well put together the design I think is derivative of a few things that I'm sure people will see in it from past horror films But I'm not gonna comment on that because people should just watch it. So quick synopsis now the synopsis I'm gonna give you It's not really spoilers setting it up because the the teaser kind of sets this up And it happens immediately in the film like that's what you need to know But it's basically a cosmonaut a Russian cosmonaut who comes back to earth and he has a creature inside of his body And he's taken to a facility where they're trying to figure out, you know, what is this creature friend foe? What how does it live?  Do some research on it and figure out, you know, is this a problem or it's not not a problem and then the whole movie is basically about that Process and there are, you know, some twists that pop up in it. So that's what it's mainly about It's not about, you know, the the creature initially getting into the body and coming to earth That happens within like the first minute basically of the film. So just know that The use of silence in space really does help with the feeling of isolation. That's kind of how the film opens and I really like that because this is very calm serene nice moment and then The rest of the movie is basically not, you know There are moments of kind of lulls and what's going on and it is kind of a slower film in a way And I think the runtime it's kind of close to two hour runtime and at times it feels like that at times It doesn't really feel like that But I think overall they moved at a pretty solid pace with with the with the film in general Which speaks to a pretty, you know, well-written script in my opinion But there are times where they use silence quite well in this film And I really like that and that helps at least with the space portion in the beginning for that feeling of isolation the other thing is there are some times where they use silence to great effect for building and or maintaining tension to kind of Let the audience be left with whatever feelings they're gonna feel obviously, you know if you've seen enough of my reviews, you know, I'm a big proponent of Backing off of music quite a bit There are a few moments in the film where they kind of go very hard at you and over the top with the music So it is kind of, you know, it hits both ends of the spectrum in that sense But overall, I think they do a pretty good job and the music sounds wonderful It's it's got this great sound of being, you know, kind of Big orchestra type music that that feels very, you know, professionally done Obviously because it's a very professional looking film, but it also has like this nice kind of Otherworldly tone to the music. It sounds great and it matches up with the film very very well throughout It starts calm and drops the main issue very very early But in a less direct way than you might actually assume from a film like this I kind of like that approach actually too and I think one of the main reasons for that is, you know Kind of the the process throughout the film of figuring out what is this thing? How does it live? You know, what are its objectives stuff like that? You know, we've seen movies like this before basically with that basic idea, you know Think something like an independence day has that aspect to it. So but this kind of, you know It does its own thing the directing style is such that shots are only still when they have to be The camera moves a lot in this film And I actually really like that because I feel like when there's a lot of interesting camera movements or the The camera is not just staying idle on, you know, whatever actors or the creature or whatever Is on screen I it's just so much more engaging for the viewer because you feel like you're more kind of like a part of the scene You can see more of the set you can see more of You know the space that the actors and the filmmaker are playing within and I like that aspect of it So the directing in this is really good directing cinematography is great It looks really really good and I watch it on just dvd like I didn't watch it on blu-ray and just dvd It looks quite good. So that's that's pretty awesome The look and feel is pretty high budget with nice technical execution and real good acting That's another thing the acting was really really well executed in my opinion. I quite enjoy the acting Already talked about the music being great The first time you see the creature it looks good and and and it showed up earlier in the film that I actually expected it to That's one of the things I liked about the film is They they take their time a little bit getting to showing you the creature But because they did you feel like they're kind of going to stretch it out longer So when they finally show you you're like, oh, I was kind of expecting they would draw this out a lot more So it's kind of nice to get that more up front because people like me who are watching films with a creature in it I want to see the creature early. So I know what it is and I know what it looks like. Also. I want to see Uh be able to like really see it and see the detail of it because there are plenty of Films, especially lower budget ones where they don't want to show you a whole lot because either The design isn't that great or it just wasn't executed all that well or a lot of times It's because the CGI doesn't look so hot. But with this one, like I said, it does look good. I do enjoy it It's pretty dark throughout Yeah, and there are a few moments where I think they needed a little bit more lighting because I couldn't see as well As I really should have been or wanted to see within that Particular scene but for the most part they handle it relatively well, especially for the film being dark throughout the duration so, yeah There are consistent instances of the character Tatiana running up against men who won't take her seriously or Respect her. I think that's one of the big kind of underlying themes at play here Which is kind of because this is set in the 1980s So just know that we've come a long way even in russia We've come a decent a decent way With how women are treated but you can see the time period through Her as a main character Tatiana and the way she's treated by all the men around her Even though she's extremely smart and she is working with them for a very very important purpose So she just keeps running up against these issues There's an interesting challenge in figuring out what's going on because the person with all the information Is not himself and is also very intelligent. That's one of the aspects I really did enjoy about this film Which is the person who has the creature inside of him his traveler Is a person who is very intelligent and you're not dealing with someone who's just like, oh, uh What happened to me? Oh, what's going on? That makes the storyline in my opinion more interesting Even though I actually do think that maybe I Well, I'll talk about it in a little bit, but I would have liked a little bit more out of the story just saying There is an aspect shown of state-run deception within this film Which I actually thought was very interesting It's considering the fact that this film is at least partially state funded and by state funded. I mean russian funded film and I know that a lot of Russian controlled things, especially filmed have a tendency to You know have to go through Some sort I don't want to say censoring necessarily But some sort of approval basically and there are some aspects of this film that don't really make Russia or in this instance the USSR for the time period it takes place Don't make it look that great, but I will say this I may be wrong about what I just said there So if I am and you know go ahead and put it in the comments. I am not above Being corrected on things. I am totally fine with that Um, there is a pretty consistent low level tension throughout the film Which I really did enjoy because you don't really know what's going to end up happening It feels like a familiar story and yes, I did say I kind of wanted a little more out of the story And I'll talk about that a little bit more, but Even though that is the case you really kind of do feel like it could go anywhere And there's this kind of feeling of like tense Expectation that gets maintained throughout the film And I do think the music and the moments of silence that they use in the film really help with that Things really ramp up once something important is revealed About the situation. I'm not going to go any further on that because the film should just be watched There's a really cool gory shot towards the end of the film that I did not see coming like You really get a good look of something that happened and it's very gory and it's kind of shocking And I wasn't prepared for it and I was just like oh I was like that in a good way not like oh my gosh. That's too much. No in a good way. I was kind of like oh, okay The story isn't amazing in the end, but it was pulled off well So basically what I mean is they they did their own thing with kind of like the basic idea of the story and some nuances with it But overall I felt like in the end. I just wanted something bigger something more to come of the ending Uh for me it ends a little bit flat I just kind of wanted a little bit more from the story Just saying What they do at the very end is not At all needed. There was something to kind of tack on to the end of the film, which I think they actually should have just ended the film Maybe like five minutes or so earlier and just kind of cut that end portion off But they kind of tack this thing on it's not needed Uh, and I think that the whole aspect of what happens in the very very end Should have just been cut out from the film in general because That makes the end of the film actually drag the whole film for the most part doesn't really feel like it drags But that last like five minutes that thing that i'm talking about being tacked on Drags like hell like it drags terribly. So I think that should have just been cut out plus it's cheap It's something they put in there that's kind of like a heart strings-ish type thing And you'll know what i'm talking about when you're watching it It's a cheap thing that filmmakers do and I think we need to get away from doing that in film in general I don't like it The music hits a full range from being very restrained to over the top. I did already talk about that Um, my final few thoughts on this Tatiana embodies the free thinking person needed for solving new problems and challenges Which is hard for the men around her to accept because of gender relations and an inability To be creative thinkers because the communist way has stifled creative thinking now Obviously that's in play because this takes place in the 80s Um, we may be in a very much a very different place in russia at the moment with creative thinking and kind of more free thinking so just saying but Um, I kind of saw that as one of the themes within the film Uh, there seems to be a metaphor for state control that ends up being equated with having a creature within Uh, people do what they're ordered and feel as if they have no responsibility to question that So I did kind of like that parallel between the Sputnik and state control Basically, so if you view it view it through that lens, it's kind of political and interesting Which is part of the reason I thought it was interesting that the film was at least partially state sponsored So just saying but this is an interesting film. I definitely think it's worth checking out Is it the most amazing film I've seen or is it the best film of 2020? No, but do I recommend it? Yes So out of five stars with half stars in play I'm gonna go ahead and give this one a very solid three and a half star rating. Check this one out. It's a good time Now I am interested in your comments How did you feel about the film if you've seen it?

That is the way to pay me back I don't get paid for this or anything But if you take that one second to hit that subscribe button Not only do I greatly appreciate it, but it really helps to kind of grow this nerdy horror community Then I'm trying to grow here and it you know It encourages me to keep doing this stuff putting these videos out there Also hit the The notification bell button because that way you'll know whenever I'm putting up a movie review like this Or an unboxing video or a haul video or one of my opinion videos, which I started doing But thank you very much for taking your time to watch this and until next time keep it brutal


Stretching across the widest part of Africa on the southern edge of the Sahara Desert is the African Transition Zone. This zone is also known as the Sahel, which means border or margin, and includes countries such as Mauritania, Mali, Niger, Chad, Sudan, Ethiopia, and Somalia. The Sahel is the zone where the dry, arid conditions of the desert found up here in the north meet up with the moisture region of the tropics found here along Central Africa. So the question in a physical geography context is what is creating the Sahel? What are the outlooks of the Sahel long term? We know the desertification is occurring, but that's a longer term type effect, but what about seasonal changes to the Sahel? Because that too is going to affect the economic stability of the region. So what we want to do here is discuss the Sahel and try to answer these questions. So the first thing I'd like to do is draw a planet earth. So here's earth and then let's draw the equator on earth. And in this picture, let's also draw the sun. So if the equatorial zone is receiving a lot of direct solar radiation, then we know that this area is going to be pretty toasty and it is. It's going to be warm. We have a lot of surface heating and because we have a lot of surface heating, we're going to create a low pressure zone around the equatorial region. And so we're going to call this the equatorial low. If you have a low pressure zone, then that means air is going to lift up into the sky. Of course, earth has gravity. It's got a gravitational pull. So this air that is lifting into the sky coming from the surface is not going to escape into space, nor is it just going to sit here. Some of this air is going to get pushed toward the north. Some of this air is going to get pushed toward the south. And eventually this air will get forced back down to the surface of the earth. And if you're asking why is that air getting forced back down to the surface of the earth? That's a question for another video, which we'll address a little bit later on. The point where this air is forced back down to the surface of the earth occurs right around 30 degrees north and 30 degrees south latitude. Now, if air is being forced back down to the surface of the earth, then we are creating a high pressure zone. So now we've got our subtropical high pressure zones to go along with our equatorial low pressure zone. Now, air at the surface is going to flow from high pressure to low pressure. And that's why we have winds. And in the northern hemisphere, the air is going to get veered toward the right of initial motion because of the Coriolis effect. And in the southern hemisphere, the air is going to get veered toward the left of initial motion because of the Coriolis effect. So here we see air flowing from H to L. And it's getting veered slightly to the right in the northern hemisphere because of the Coriolis effect. And then here in the southern hemisphere, the air is going from H to L and slightly getting veered to the left because of the Coriolis effect. These winds, by the way, are called the easterly trade winds because they're originating in the east and going toward the west. You'll notice that the air converges and the air converges at the equatorial low. But I don't want to call this the equatorial low anymore. I would rather call this the intertropical convergence zone or ITCZ. And there's a reason why we want to call it the intertropical convergence zone because as we're going to see in a second, this low pressure system actually moves with the seasons. And so a better nomenclature for it is going to be intertropical convergence zone where the easterly trade winds actually converge. Now that we know why we have the subtropical high pressure belts and why we have the intertropical convergence zone and why we have the easterly trade winds, let's take a look at how this whole dynamic shifts during the course of the year. And in order to do that, we need to take a look at the seasons. So what I want to do now is draw a very quick picture of Earth's revolution and around the sun and see how and why the ITCC is going to shift. So here we go. Let's put the sun here right in the middle of the picture. And we've got our solar rays coming out from the sun. And let's also put in this picture Earth. Now as we know, Earth is tilted 23 and a half degrees relative to the plane of the ecliptic. What that means is if this line here represents the plane of the ecliptic, which is the plane that the sun is residing on, then Earth is tilted 23 and a half degrees relative to that plane. So this is 23 and one half degrees. So the north pole is right here. The south pole is right here. And here is the equator. The picture I've just drawn is the summer solstice. And the summer solstice is the first day of summer in the northern hemisphere and the first day of winter in the southern hemisphere. In this same picture, let me draw a person. I'm going to put this person right here on the Tropic of Cancer. And the Tropic of Cancer is located at 23 and a half degrees north latitude. I've just randomly put him here on the Earth in the northern hemisphere. There's no other reason than it's just random and it's sort of cool. You'll see why in just a second. Now the Earth is going to revolve around the sun and it's going to revolve around the sun in a counterclockwise direction. So let's say that a half a year goes by, 180 days. Now we find the Earth over here in this picture. The north pole is still over there. The south pole is still over here. The equator is right here. And notice now that there's something that you really have to notice. The solar rays, the most direct solar rays, that is the portion of Earth that is on the plane of the ecliptic is right here. You'll notice that a half a year earlier during the summer solstice, the most direct rays of the sun, that is the part of the Earth that was intersecting with the plane of the ecliptic, was right here, right where I put this person, right at the Tropic of Cancer. A half a year later during the winter solstice, which is what this picture is, the most direct rays of the sun are residing right here on the Tropic of Capricorn, which is at 23 and a half degrees south latitude. Now our person is right here on the Tropic of Cancer. Now you'll notice this person's relative distance from the most direct solar rays during the course of the year. Here in the summer solstice, if this person goes outside on the first day of summer, that sun is going to be directly over this person's head at solar noon and he or she is not going to see any shadows because the sun is directly overhead. However, half a year later, that's not going to be the case. If this person goes outside at solar noon, the sun is not directly over his head. Rather, the sun is going to be at an angle. So what we notice in terms of seasonal variation is relative to an observer on earth, the position of the sun has seemed to have changed. Now, of course, the sun itself is not moving. Rather, it's earth revolving around the sun. And because the earth is tilted, the height of the sun in the sky relative to your horizon is going to shift essentially on a daily basis. So now the question is, why is this important? Well, you'll recall in our conversation just a moment ago, we said that the equatorial low pressure zone was due to the fact that the solar rays were hitting on top of the equatorial region. And in fact, let's go back to that picture. We take a look at this picture here and you'll notice this is an equinox. This is the vernal equinox or the optimal equinox where the vernal equinox represents the first day of spring and the optimal equinox represents the first day of fall. If we put our person here in this picture standing, well, I put him on 30 degrees north latitude. I meant to put him here right in the tropic of cancer at 23 and a half degrees north latitude. This person goes outside at solar noon. The sun is not directly over that person's head. Rather, if you're standing on the equator, that would be the case. So again, what we're noticing is we have this seasonal shift of where the most direct sun is based upon the season. And what we're also going to notice is that this low pressure zone, which we don't want to call the equatorial low, but rather we want to call the ITCZ or the Intertropical Convergence Zone, this low pressure also has to migrate with the moving sun because that low pressure zone is directly related to the moving sun. So let's go back to this picture. Here we notice that the low pressure zone of the ITCZ has shifted northbound. And here the low pressure zone of the ITCZ has shifted southbound. So let's go back to this picture and let's erase this board and let's draw the earth again. So here is our equator. And we know that during the vernal or the optimal equinox, the low pressure zone of the ITCZ is going to be right there pretty close to the equator. Our subtropical high is going to be right here, right at around 30 degrees north latitude. Our subtropical high in the southern hemisphere is going to be right here around 30 degrees south latitude. So this is a picture of an equinox, first day of fall, first day of spring. Let's use a different color to represent the wintertime. In the wintertime the most direct rays of the sun are going to be here above the tropic of Capricorn in the southern hemisphere. That means that the ITCZ is going to shift southbound. But if the ITCZ shifts southbound, then this subtropical high is going to shift southbound a little bit, and this subtropical high is going to shift southbound a little bit as well. So the entire pressure system around the equator is shifting with the changing season. That's going to be a picture of the wintertime. Let's put in here a picture of the summertime. So in the summertime the most direct sunlight is going to be here residing right above the tropic of cancer at 23.5 degrees north latitude. That means that the ITCZ is going to shift slightly northbound. That low pressure is going to be moving with the sun. The subtropical high down here in the southern hemisphere is going to shift slightly northbound. And then the subtropical high here in the northern hemisphere is going to shift slightly northbound as well. So the ITCZ shifts. And remember, the ITCZ, the Intertropical Convergent Zone, is a low pressure system. Low pressure systems, by the way, produce rain. If you have a low pressure zone, you have a lot of rain. If you have a high pressure zone, you're going to have a lot of dryness. So let's take a look at this picture here of Africa. And this picture of Africa is a nice climate map of Africa. And you'll notice that the Sahara Desert right here is located in and around 30 degrees north latitude. So this is a high pressure zone. And this high pressure zone is creating the Sahara Desert. Down here, we have our ITCZ or Intertropical Convergent Zone or our low pressure system. And this low pressure system is creating a lot of rain in the tropics of Africa. And then down here, we have our other subtropical high. And this is creating the desert region down here. In part, there's other reasons for it, but the subtropical high is creating those deserts by and large. So this is a picture which apparently looks like an equinox period of time, at the either fall or spring. But you'll notice that there's a region associated with this. And so in the summertime, everything shifts northbound. Because remember, in the summertime, the sun is above the tropic of cancer. So this low pressure, this ITCZ in the summertime is now here. And so now we're going to get a fair amount of rain in this transition zone. That's the Sahel. In the Sahara Desert, the subtropical high moves up shift the so moves up north. So it shifts the desert a little bit more north. And that's why you see such a large Sahara Desert region. And here, this subtropical high shifts slightly north as well. And this creates a slightly bigger desert forest down there in the southern hemisphere. Now what about the wintertime? Well, in the wintertime, the exact opposite is going to happen. Now we know here that the ITC is going to shift southbound. And it shifts southbound because now we know that the sun is going to be above the tropic of Capricorn or 23 and a half degrees south latitude. So now we get more rain down here. This subtropical high shifts a little bit southbound as well. And it creates a semi desert region around there. But also notice now, the subtropical high, which created the Sahara Desert also moves southbound and it encroaches upon the Sahel. So here in the wintertime in the Sahel, it's going to be pretty dry. In the summertime of the Sahel, it can actually be a little bit wet. So that's why we have the African transition zone. That's why we have the Sahel. We've got periods of time. We have a season when it'll be dry. We have a season when it'll be wet. Whereas in the Sahara Desert, it's pretty much dry all the time. And the tropical zone here is pretty much wet all the time. So now here's the question. If we know that this creates the Sahel, why is it that we see droughts in the Sahel? It's not far fetched every now and again to turn the TV on and see people, for example, in Ethiopia, starving or in Somalia, starving. And that might have less to do with political reasons and more to do with environmental reasons. What tends to happen periodically in the African area, especially in the Sahelian region, is that when the ITCZ shifts seasonally, sometimes the shifting of the pressure belts stall. And they stall due to other environmental reasons that we won't get into in this video. So you can have a period of time where the ITCZ shifts southbound in the summer, excuse me, in the wintertime. And the high pressure belt of the subtropical high is sitting on top of this region. And then during the summertime, when it's supposed to shift away, and when this region is supposed to get low pressure and some moisture, it doesn't. The earth is still revolving around the sun. The pressure belts are still moving, but not on this part of Africa. And because of that, if that high pressure cell stalls over the Sahelian region, then you can see drought. And it's not unheard of to have years and years of drought in the Sahelian region if this pressure belt actually stalls. Again, why it stalls is a question that we'll say for another day. Okay, that's it. That's the Sahelian region. It's an incredibly interesting place. It's fascinating and a lot of rich history there as well.


So I am captain Steven Strickland. I am a member of the 344th Air Fueling Squadron, 22nd Air Fueling Wing at McConnell Air Force Base, and I'm a KC-46 instructor pilot. So we've had a really awesome experience out here at Cope North pushing tankers, past what traditional tanker roles have been. We've done landings at landing zones and off-steer environments, MVG operations and operations out at airports where you wouldn't normally see tankers. So right now we're at Saipan International Airport. This is the first time a KC-46 has had the opportunity to be here in this beautiful island, but we are testing the AMC and Air Force's ACE concept, sending tankers and other aircraft to a place they wouldn't normally go. This gives us flexibility as we prepare for whatever the next fight looks like to not just hold to our traditional roles, but to be able to operate in any kind of environment to be unpredictable and to bring the fight to the enemy. So yesterday, we had the chance to refuel supporting strike operations against the enemy. They were able to do a pre-bull tank with us and then accomplish the strike successfully. After we got the aircraft there gas, we made sure to listen up and be able to digest what was happening in the fight so that we could be where the fighters needed us to be to provide them with the gas while still keeping ourselves safe. Hope North gives us a chance to practice how we would operate in the Pacific with the various threats and environments that we see out here.

Hello, welcome to the Jenkins-Google Summer of Code of Sours. Today is May 26th. We don't have any specific topics in the agenda for today. So I suggest we just focus on the Q&A and then sync up on whatever logistics activities. And the main question is, do you have any questions? Yeah, we can just discuss whatever you wonder about the GSOC process, your particular projects and so on. So these questions will be on the call. So no questions. Then I have a question to students. Have you already established regular meetings with your mentors? Yeah, so like we have and it's we're meeting every week, once every week. And then moving forward if we need, we talked about maybe setting up twice a week. We have also decided to meet once a week but then are you meeting that's not yet decided. We are finding a time that is okay with all the mentors and then we'll go. Yeah. Now project remote monitoring also chose to proceed with one meeting per week, at least for now. But we may adjust but my recommendation as we discussed last week is to focus on asynchronous communications when possible and when convenient. So don't rely on meetings as the main synchronization point. You have chat and you can drop any questions there at any moment. Yes. Okay. So then just quick updates of what happened over the past week. Apologies that things do not go as quick as a good like. We've had some escalations and more escalations. So what has changed? Firstly, we started sending feedback to the rejected students. I still have a few emails to send but I hope to complete this part tonight. So that you get it over the line. We also updated the GSOC landing page. So if you see my screen, you can see that now we have all Jenkins project service here. So yeah. And there is also a step so for any student including Shruti and you can have these pages. And this we invite you to actually update these pages because they were created just basically quick happen slash based on what we had in the project ideas. So this information is fully owned by you as a student. And you're welcome to adjust it as much as you want and you're welcome to keep it up to date. So for example, you have to find the office hours. Please put them here so that there is some information you have for a meeting notes document in place at the link to that. And same if you see any changes in the background and project deals and status you would like to put here, or if you would like to put some screenshots, video recordings, you can totally do that. And if it's needed, it's actually quite easy to do because even if you don't want to check out the repository, etc, you can improve this page. Well, depending on your experience and currently in the browser which is not locked into a GitHub. So let's try again. Just soak. Okay. So, here should be locked into GitHub and here, for example, if I want to update this page, I can just click improve this page. You can see information there is preview. So basically, we're under a ski dog, there is some data which would be rendered, but the rest you can just see the text. For example, if you want to add a link to office hours, for example, the week, let's say, on my UTC. So it's just an idea. So here, for example, you say one team UTC. So this will render and also what we recommend. There is Google Calendar. So if you go to Jenkins your events, you can see that there are meetings listed. So basically, there are all meetings, including this GSO course hours. So it's called the Jenkins calendar. This Jenkins calendar. Yeah, it's just a Google calendar. You can ask one of the orphan means included me to put it in. And then you can just navigate to a particular meeting. For example, he is a meeting. Okay, I can show you a real example. So we have created a project for a meeting for James remote monitoring. So there is a meeting now calendar. Hope. Yeah. Okay, so this is the meeting. And here, for example, you can see that you have it announced we have a link to the Zoom chat. Later, we'll also Google Doc. So this is a meeting and everyone can see that. And for example, if you want to share that, for example, you click publish event link event and you can put it directly into the browser. So for example, here you can see something like that. And then you can go with your set the meeting. Okay, something like that. And then when somebody navigates to your page. There is metadata, etc. You can see that there is a page providing a link so you can click on the calendar as a visitor. You get. So I might have to cut this moment. No, you basically just can add this link to your calendar. You can also add more information and who's doing his state to edit your pages as much as you want. So these pages is basically a front page for you. So when you will be referencing your project or making it into the jinx community outside once I mean your evaluation. So, yeah, it's your best interest to maintain this page and to improve it. I highly recommend that you just try it out because everything is enabled so you can just submit your pull request. Questions. So, again, this page is owned by you as students, not by mentors. And basically it's your responsibility to keep it up to the, to some extent be expected from the students working on the jinx project. It doesn't mean that you have to put daily update there. But when you reach major milestones, for example, the reservation where you do a demo, or you have released your first feature, made it available to users. We recommend to update this page gradually so that everyone navigates this page and in Google, some of course there is a lot of promotion historically happening. So just keep this page up to date and help others to discover that. So that's what I wanted to ask. And yeah, this is also something you should actually consider doing during the community bonding phase. And another thing as we discussed last week is working with your mentors to create a coding plan for the first coding phase. So what it means that by day one of your coding phase, you expect to be able to actually work on something that might be some flexibility in the plan, etc. It shouldn't be a situation when the first day of coding starts, you open your integrated development environment and see, okay, I need a repository and you don't have a repository. Or I want to do something I'm not sure what to do. So your main goal for community bonding after discussions with mentors is to enable yourself to work with during the first coding phase. And use it this time wisely because it's really important to have everything in place. Christian Jeff, would you like to add something? Nothing for me. Nothing on my side. I do agree with the making sure we have everything in place for the coding period that really helps make things go smoothly. So my advice to everyone also to do the first pull request as soon as possible. For example, if you create a new plugin, you can start from creating a skeleton. So there is a project called Jenkins plugin archetype, which basically creates a skeleton for you. So the first pull request you could do is just using this plugin to generate a skeleton, maybe a few hello world actions. Just to try the development flow in your environment, maybe add some read me a link to the project page. And then when I meet that, and then you can gradually expand because when you have skeleton, you can deliver the rest of the features in a continuous way. And since we are talking about Jenkins project, we really advise doing so. Yeah, creating the first initial pull request with initial data and then creating a small full request as possible so that you can continuously improve your project. I have a question about like, meetings are absolutely essential for, you know, anything that's related to plugin development in terms of what can be needed out of the project. For example, the one. So we started working and we have the recurring meeting set up, but also there are some things about the UI UX side of the plugin and understanding the jelly files much better system things like that. What meetings would you suggest that we should definitely attend. So we can organize not transfers on demand. Again, as offered last time. You can take a look at the recordings we already had. There is a lot of reviewer guidelines. Have you found this information already.  There are blog posts like we discussed last time that is a tutorial on Jenkins, a developer where you can basically go step by step create your first plugin. If you haven't seen that I can show it to you. And in terms of learning jelly what I'm not an expert in it but what little I know what was helpful for me was finding a simple plugin in the Jenkins IO repo and just kind of copying it and it was a little bit of struggle at first and until it clicked. So that's that's one one suggestion and you can reach out to the mentors via the slack between between meetings I would recommend not not waiting until the weekly meeting if you're stuck. Is that would that be helpful or. Yeah, yeah, definitely I am working on, you know, like the jelly files from I think the Hello World plugin and also understanding I went to the GitHub plugin and I was just like trying to understand these kind of so confusing. Yeah, yeah, pick a smaller one, because I think the GitHub may plug in may have a lot of a lot of you if I recall. Yeah, there are many plugins. And yeah, jelly is a quite complicated framework. Well actually it's quite simple but it's not something you would see every day in the world, because Jenkins was created 15 years ago so jelly is let's see more legacy. Yeah, you may have seen that many modern plugins actually use JavaScript mostly plus REST APIs. For example, two years ago when she was working on code coverage API. He used some jelly code, but the most of your complexity actually went to JavaScript. So if you create plugins with rich UI, I think it would be the best approach. If you're interested, there is user experience special interest group. We can continuously discuss this UI and also development of UI for Jenkins, so you can join it. And just run from others there. Thank you. Yeah, so it's Jenkins, your six UX. Yeah, so they basically meet every week or so at the moment. And again, if you're interested when they meet on this page, they also have meetings. So just here you can click on meetings on this page. It redirects you to the Google document apparently in this case. But yeah, there is all the schedule below. So on every Wednesday, every two Wednesdays for PMUJC. There is a meeting and today, it's today. So right after this meeting you can join and just ask any questions or see what people discuss. Yeah, but because I haven't joined the last two meetings or so, but I can go to the agenda. Okay, you can see that. Okay, you can see that the agenda it's, you know, much 17s because yeah, there was an issue with Google Docs ownership and I believe that the calendar link wasn't updated. And here, for example, when things don't quite work, but in theory, if you go to this page, you should be able to see the recent documents like for example, if you go here, you open our meetings notes for JSO. And as you can see, I also didn't make any notes for today. By the way, yeah, all our Google Docs, etc. They should be available for contribution by anyone. So you when you participate in meetings, etc. You, you're welcome to just suggest changes. So there is the review modes. So something going on with the Google right because the request me to reload the page to times already. But here. So what I wanted to say that there are multiple modes, anything suggesting and viewing. So you can figure documents in a way that anyone on the Internet can comment. So what it means that even if you have no permission to the dog, you just open it, I think suggesting. And then you're in the suggestion mode so basically you can say that. That was lazy to be easy. Didn't create it, but you can do it on your own. So, for example, you go to a Google document. For example, you can say that we had funny. And we discussed, for example, Norwich transfers, again, development. And if we discuss any links, etc. Again, you can follow that information. And he's going to contribute because keeping this meeting notes, etc. is also a type of contribution because somebody may read this document or we can wait and use them to improve our documentation, which is not awesome. It would be improved a lot as in the much every other open source project. And you're welcome to contribute in such way just by helping. What else we discussed status check. We also discussed the updating project pages. Does it work for you. So, again, any questions, any comments and sorry for long detours, but I'm just showing how particular things work in the Jenkins community. And this is to us because you did try to improve where we can. And yeah, what I said, if you need a specific knowledge transfer session. So this year, we didn't fly upon any session yet, but we can do it upon request. So if you see a particular area, which you want to get more expertise, if you don't see information if you members don't see information. I just raised a question and we will try to help is organizing that. Yeah, and basically the same for any page on Jenkins. I also, for example, if you go to the through the tutorial, you will go create a plugin, etc. You see a mistake there or you want to extend it a bit. You can always click on the same page through this page and edit everything you can check out the site you can build it locally if you want. And you will need to do that when you work on complex updates. And for example, when you work on blog posts, we expect you to write. And you can find all the information here how to get it running, but if you have a doctor it's actually just a few commands. If you have windows, and if you need to get this ecosystem running, you will like to need windows subsystem for Linux, because I'll make files on the platform independent. And if you need such assistance, please contact me. There are four common cases. Yeah, there are just two make commands. So you say make prepare and then make run. And you get the website of development mode running. I'm not sure what it's not trying for me, but it takes a few minutes to start up because everything to be raised and relatively slow. So that you can do life changes and verify your content in the browser. Similar to how I do it. But you can view real website then any patches to the communication center would be much appreciated, because we as experienced contributors, we have so much sacred knowledge. Sometimes we just do not see your obvious gaps in our documentation, especially for newcomers who just added the project. So any feedback about that would be appreciated. And even if you do not fix the issue, there is another magic button called the report the problem. For example, here. So it's, again, it's semi automated. So you report the bug for the user experience page automatically puts the links, etc. The rest you would need to fill in. But, yeah, for example, you can say that there is no longer for your C, you can just say that there is a task. If you are sick with update and somebody will eventually triage that and maybe even implement that. So, if you see some significant issues you're not ready to work on. Please submit tickets on the top wishes. If you see something which you can just fix the minute like a type of fix, then he said to submit this request. It takes, takes less than one minute but it's available contribution. So just, yeah, just do that. Any questions comments. I haven't put the recording of the previous meeting here, but usually what I do, I put the recording things right inside the agenda notes. You always find that the recording, they will also publish recording for this meeting. Anything else for today. We don't just thanks everyone. So we usually keep these meetings open until there are any questions. And if there are no questions that you just closed down. If nobody joins the meeting usually I leave for the meeting at the top of the after 10 minutes. You are always welcome to follow up in the chat if needed. And again, please don't keep the meetings. Now we have slug channel in this day of workspace, we also have guitar channel. So any of these channels is totally legit and feel free to ask any questions there at any moment when you need assistance, and somebody will be around to help. We have something like three or 400 participants in the guitar channel for JSOC and some of them help. Thanks to them. If nothing else, I guess, yeah, thanks everyone. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. See you at the next meeting, Kristen. Yeah, thanks.


My name is Ile. Today in this video we're going to look back on the year 2021 and then we're going to look a little bit into the future by looking at 2022. Hi, my name is Karmie and today we're going to be looking at 2021 in retrospect and what to expect in 2022? I'm most proud of, I've learned how to set boundaries for myself and also communicate boundaries. I think I'm a person who really likes to be doing things and on the go and working a lot and putting in efforts but I've also learned that I need to balance that out a little bit more and that saying no is okay and it's actually sometimes more productive than keep on doing things. What am I the most proud of in 2021? I just think what I'm most proud of is carried from 2020 when I thought that Staten Treelands was going to be super challenging and I probably will not see top but I'm proud of the fact that I have consistently grown in my craft in how I see things and in how I do things so I'm proud of who I'm becoming or the process of becoming the best filmmaker that I want to be. I think one thing I've learned about myself is I've gotten more comfortable with being by myself and just yeah taking care of myself and listening to what I actually need. I think 2021 was quite a challenging year and I've learned how I can comfort myself, how things, small rituals that I do to keep me grounded, to not worry too much and to take every day as it comes. I don't think I learned anything new about myself. I think my knowledge of self is quite strong and a bit stubborn if I should put it a bit unflinching so I don't think I've learned anything new or accept the fact that if I put my mind to something which I already knew but I didn't know I could enjoy the process as much. Yes so I think I've learned to enjoy the process because I was more outcome oriented. Yes so in 2021 I learned to enjoy the process and effort for me was more than enough than outcome. Yeah I quit my job for my career growth so my full-time job became a part-time job for three days due to Covid and then I luckily found a really nice opportunity in the coffee business which was great to complement it but I still felt that something was missing and especially an organization that I was working for three days a week. I felt I couldn't grow into the potential that I have so I was on the lookout for a long time for what's next and I really put in a lot of efforts, time and thoughts so when the opportunity came I really recognized like this is really what I want, what I've dreamt of. I just didn't know that it was existing so I quit both my jobs that I had and I'm going into a new adventure 2022 with a new job so it's scary but also very exciting so I'm looking forward to that. What did I do for my career growth? I bought more gear. I bought more gear I'm not even gonna lie so I changed cameras when I started this channel from Canon 80D in the same year before the year ended I went to a Canon RP and in less than six months or yeah about six months after using the Canon RP I switched to the Blackmagic Cinema Pocket which I'm using now so and I've gotten a few sound and light and other things that based on learning by doing that I'm coming across so yeah career growth I think for a filmmaker it's gonna be a lot of gear for a lot of a no not a lot of years a lot of gear for the first few years and then you learn how to use it and then you settle into the deeper side of you know story and craft but yeah I'm really learning how to you know also something that I even an idea that I even started so career growth yeah an idea I started even before I started vlogging it's also one of the things that I rekindled in the last year like in a last month of the last year and I plan on actually making it establishing it much more in 2022 so yeah career growth wise buying a lot of gear and challenging myself to do more with that gear in terms of content creation and storytelling yeah I think I've grown a lot in 2021 in taking care of myself so I know that I need to move my body regularly so I either run or I do yoga I did that two times a week and unfortunately my yoga teacher stopped so I have to find a new yoga class but that really got me through 2021 I like the mornings so I've gotten into the habit of getting up a bit early and either doing some yoga meditation or writing and it really makes me feel like the day is mine because I'm starting it the way I want to instead of immediately going on my phone or getting into work stress so that has really helped me I need green spaces as well from time to time just to nature helps me relax so either going to the sea or finding a green space once a month really helps me to calm down and reflect a little bit on everything that's happening so mentally when I don't have any work to do what I'm not doing youtube videos then I switch off and there are some days where I'm just I do absolutely nothing I'll just watch youtube videos learn some more or watch tv or do absolutely nothing so yeah physical health was a bit on and off so I hope that this year can be consistent because I was doing a bit of cycling a bit of gym and a bit of stopping of that yeah mental health I took care of my you know rest and everything but physical I wasn't very consistent so maybe I can improve that I think I'm a very I'm not a very different person but I think I've really grown through a lot of things um I've I think I'm different in in radically finding joy in things especially when life throws up challenges I always thought that that's just something to endure and then after that the joy will come but this year or 2021 has really told me that no matter how hard things are you need to follow your joy and find like relief and ease in some other things um in life uh so that can be activities outside or create a writing space for yourself or you can do really small things that bring you a bit of joy that will help you to fuel through the other challenges and I think I've gotten more comfortable with being by myself so I'm also more comfortable in my own skin I think that's a big difference I think I'm becoming more of a doer than an overthinker yes I'm becoming more of a doer than an overthinker I'm becoming more appreciative of process than results I've said it before so it's it's it's changing my outlook um I'm probably going to watch this video a few months or a year from now and find some things I could have done right the quality might have improved a few years from now whatever it is but it's not going to stop me from doing this video that's what I'm trying to say I said I would do what I can do with what I have now learn from it improve and keep going so I'm more a doer than an overthinker I have an idea I do it I execute I learn we move yes so that's that's much different so in 2022 I think I'm not going to fix was not broken my mantra for 2021 was do learn repeat and honestly this I mean this has carried me this the spirit of that you know mantra has carried me through the first two years of my freelance career and it has rather been growing than static like I see improvement in every sense of the things I do so my intention for 2022 if I would say anything would be being more intentional intention intentional ah you serious being more intentional as in you know with the things that I do so instead of doing more I think I'll not necessarily do less but a bit deeper pay more attention to some other things you know explore more in depth than in quantity yeah yeah so no I don't really like these questions like what is your goal for 2022 what's your intention for 2022 but I think I will proceed with my intention to follow my joy and trust my process I'm moving at the right base and I'm sure there's a lot more to explore this year so I'm excited to discover more things and learn from yeah the things that are coming up in the coming year finally radical joy again so I think the small small things I do for myself so my writing my yoga meditation but also my walks outside and getting out of town from time to time I will definitely continue to do things these things um reading as well it really helps me to you know just ground into the moment and kind of zoom out a little bit um from all the pressures that life can give you um I'll continue to give myself rests when I want to when I can but also I think I'll start looking into moving a little bit more because I was doing a lot of sitting a lot of editing a lot of creating and not enough moving physically you know so I think I'll move a lot more hopefully exercise a lot more I hope I can do that yeah that's that's that's what I want to do in taking care of myself and the thing is sometimes I do it for about three months and then I get more so hopefully I can do it for longer yeah I want to visit so many places so actually in 2020 one of my um how you say intentions for that year was to see more of the continent of Africa but unfortunately that did work out because COVID hits and I didn't get to go anywhere of course I want to go to Netherlands for sure this year to see my family and friends there hopefully Kwame can join me um but it would be nice to see a few other countries especially in the region of West Africa I've never been to Africa I would love to go to Togo um Burkina Faso I would love to go to Senegal um it's a country I've been dreaming of I don't know why exactly but it just has a certain pull to me so even if I can go to one of these countries I would be very happy um and it would be nice to go on a holiday that is not Netherlands because we're always dividing our time between Ghana and Netherlands you often choose to go for me that's home which I really appreciate but it would be nice to go to a place where we are both like in the unknown and explore like new territories um so a proper holiday would be great yeah what places do I want to visit this one if I say it's my wife will kill me you know I'm not a I'm not a places person I like travel but I I think one constant is Netherlands yeah to visit family that's a constant um I think we've seen a bit more of the south especially in Ghana so I'd want to go into the middle belt and north you know experience those places as like the way we do weekend trips or holiday so maybe spend three or four days in the north or somewhere else you know discover new places so internally as I hope we can do that so those are the places in Ghana um Africa wise I don't know so much um it's okay it's it's literally the only place in my mind that I would love to see because it's also very popular is Kenya so that's the only African country so far that I would if I have the opportunity to visit anywhere outside Ghana that's not Europe it would be but yeah Netherlands is a hopeful constant and yeah traveling in Ghana yeah seeing other regions I'll try to be more selective with the jobs that come my way in terms of how they serve me especially with film yeah I'm saying this for film not everything else yeah so yeah that's that's that's it so I had I have a friend who last year had a motto like I'm not going to work hard harder I'm going to work smarter and I think that's something that's stuck by me like I know I can work hard and I know whatever I do I put in the efforts and I try to give it the quality that I think it deserves but I think there's definitely the boundaries need to come in and I need to work a bit smarter so I'm going to say no to hard work but I'm going to say yes to smart work so I'm going to see how I can kind of use my qualities better and then make it easier so give my work ethic also some ease instead of something that you have to like see through and push through and I'm always very excited about learning new things so for my new job I'm gonna learn or relearn because I was really good in university but that's about 10 years ago already um so I'm gonna learn or relearn my French again so that's very exciting I'm very like curious how it's gonna work in my head because then I will have Dutch uh English and French all in one brain so let's see but that would be exciting I would like to um deepen my yoga practice a little bit and maybe I can do some extra courses in specific parts of yoga and maybe someday I would want to do like a teacher training to see how um yeah how I can deepen my practice and maybe one day I'll teach a bed desk more something for the future um I would like to read a lot more uh luckily I have my book club for that and I want to write more maybe even publicly so now I'm doing a lot of journaling and I've been thinking about a newsletter for a long time but I haven't really been able to put it all together so hopefully that will happen this year and I want to be more bold with YouTube so we started this in 2021 or I came in in 2021 um and I've been trying to push myself out of my comfort zone of being on screen and speaking up and you know being convinced that I have something to tell and I think I can definitely build on that as well to be more confident but also be more myself even more um in 2022 what skills will I learn would I like to learn um I would like to learn how to fly a drone yeah I like to learn how to fly a drone um I know my wife is rolling her eyes by now um language wise I think I would also want to learn um two languages if it's not too much but one of them is because Elaine has a new job and it would be nice to help her out in conversation when she's home in practice so I might want to also learn French so that we can actually speak it it will be easier to have somebody to speak it with and if there's room enough depending on how quickly French is learned and how quickly it's picked up if there's room enough I definitely have to have to it's not want to have to learn Dutch yeah so that's another skill I want to learn so yeah and basically improve my storytelling yeah be more deliberate with my storytelling you know and changing a bit of the style and yeah but yeah fly a drone and hopefully learn two languages those are the skills I would like to learn in 2022 yeah yeah so I hope that by the end of 2022 if we do do a review of the year for next year that we'll be able to share some of these things with you if we accomplish them of course you're coming with us on our journey so when we're ready to share what we are learning or we're coming by and how we're going by it we'll share them with you so yeah this is the year in retrospect and looking forward to 2022 I hope you've made up your mind about some things as well and yeah let's do this don't forget to like and subscribe and catch you in the next video peace


For more videos on People's Juggles, please subscribe to our YouTube channel. The government needs to pull the permits of Line 3. They need to stop Enbridge from building their pipeline. They have full authority to do so. The Army Corps of Engineers, which is a place that we will be today, can at any point in time remove the permits of Enbridge and they will no longer be allowed to build. You know, so the demands of us today is to stop this pipeline to pull the permits to drop the fraudulent charges of water protectors, of indigenous people and our allies who came to support us. Pipeline spill. And it has already had 11 confirmed frackouts. Line 3, we are already seeing the devastation of everything that it has done. It has lowered the water levels in the Mississippi. We will lose 40% of our food exports. We will lose 80% of America's clean water. It will be tainted by oil. It will be undrinkable. There will be 20 million Americans without water win this pipeline spills.


In this video we are going to look at another interesting way by which alcohols can be synthesized and that is using Grignard's reagent. We are already familiar with Grignard's reagent. We know that the general formula of Grignard's reagent looks something like this, rMGX. Grignard's reagents fall under the bigger umbrella of organometallic compounds where a carbon atom is bonded to a metal. In this case it is magnesium. We have organolithium compounds where the carbon atom is bonded to the lithium atom. Now the usability of Grignard's reagent or any of these organometallic reagents comes from the electronegativity difference between carbon and the metal. Now electronegativity of carbon is about 2.55 and that of magnesium is about 1.31. As a result carbon gets a partial negative charge and magnesium of course being more electropositive gets a partial positive charge. This partial negative charge on the carbon atom comes in very handy because now it can act as a very strong nucleophile as well as a strong base. And one of the most important reactions of Grignard's reagents is this addition to carbonyl compounds. For example let's look at the same carbonyl compound here which is the ketone and if you react it with a Grignard's reagent let's say RMGX then R being nucleophilic the carbon here being nucleophilic will attack the electrophilic carbon here because CO bond as we know is polar the carbonyl carbon has a partial positive charge as electrons are drawn towards the oxygen atom and oxygen gets a partial negative charge. Now as a result of this addition we get an intermediate alkoxide ion. So the intermediate looks something like this O minus and MGX becomes the counter ion here. Now once this addition is complete in the second step we perform a hydrolysis. So this is the first step and this is the second step. We add water or mild acid in order to protonate this alkoxide ion. So the oxygen atom abstracts a proton from water molecule and gives us the final alcohol. Now it is important to remember that we add water or we perform the hydrolysis step only after the first step is completely done because you see the carbon here is not just a strong nucleophile but also a strong base that means if there is any presence of water or any compound that has an acidic hydrogen like alcohols or even amines you know NH2 or NH2. In all of these cases where we have acidic proton the Grignard region gets deactivated because the R will simply abstract this acidic proton and become a simple hydrocarbon. So basically our Grignard region gets destroyed if we have the presence of acidic hydrogen in our first step and this is why we carry out this step in the presence of dry ether. This is something that you always need to remember when we talk about Grignard reagents. Alright so now that you understood the basic mechanism behind the addition of Grignard reagents to obtain alcohols let's look at a couple of questions. Let's look at the first question. Here we need to identify the product that is formed in the given reaction. So here we are reacting a benzaldehyde with ethyl magnesium bromide. So the first step is obviously the nucleophilic addition. Now in RMGX the nucleophile is the R minus group right and R minus here is the ethyl group here. In the first step the nucleophilic addition occurs. Remember this step occurs in dry ether. Okay the solvent is dry ether and this would give us an alkoxide ion. Now the structure of alkoxide ion would look like this. In the second step we add water or mild acid and in this step hydrolysis takes place or our alkoxide ion gets protonated. So the final alcohol looks like this. So this is our final alcohol and this is a secondary alcohol. So as you can see here addition of Grignard reagents to aldehydes will give us a secondary alcohol. Okay so let's now look at another question. Here we need to identify the starting carbonyl compound and Grignard reagent that are required to prepare the given alcohol. So here we have a primary alcohol and we need to identify the starting reactants. So we know that the alcohol synthesis using Grignard reagents takes place in two steps. The first one is the addition or nucleophilic addition followed by hydrolysis. So this is basically the steps involved and in order to figure out the starting reactants we simply have to go backwards. Okay so what would be the immediate previous step of this alcohol synthesis? It is deprotonation right because the last step is addition of water. So we deprotonate it we get the intermediate which is the alkoxide ion correct. And if I draw the structure completely here is the hydrogen atom and here is the hydrogen atom. This is the primary alcohol. Now from this intermediate how can we figure out the structures of our carbonyl compound and Grignard reagent? Let's see. Now a Grignard reagent must have an alkyl group because its structure is RMGX. And the CO bond in our intermediate should belong to the carbonyl compound. So from this intermediate you can see that the only alkyl group here in this intermediate is this one and that means this group has to come from the Grignard reagent and this becomes a part of our carbonyl compound. So if I draw the structures it would be MGBR and our carbonyl compound would have structure HC double bond OH. So HC double bond OH and H. So these are the starting reagents that are required to prepare the primary alcohol. The carbonyl from the Grignard reagent attacks the carbonyl group of the formaldehyde and this addition gives us an intermediate alkoxide ion which on protonation would give us a primary alcohol. Now the important thing to note here is that only addition to formaldehyde will give us a primary alcohol. The addition of Grignard reagent to any other alcohols would give us a secondary alcohol as we saw in the previous example. So let me write it down here. Grignard reagent plus formaldehyde will give us a primary alcohol. With any other aldehyde we would get a secondary alcohol and with ketones we would get a tertiary alcohol.
