I thought this was like snakeskin at first, but it's like erased material On some areas, but it's not like stingray either interesting with the gun bottom.  What do you all think about these? Let me know I've been seeing these in more spots as well. So this had like shoe palaces and stuff like that Interesting colorways. I'm not sure about this one in Miami. They got the in my a over here with the Nike logo This is kind of fire. Let's go upstairs and see what they got as soon as we get upstairs You know, they got that Miami heat gear on deck It's cool a shoe that I have seen available everywhere a classic the pennies, bro These things go so crazy I think it's just a $200 price point and people don't understand the nostalgia and everything behind it So it's causing the shoe to sit and I get it. All right, we got the Lebron's we got the Katie's we got the Jaws Got some solid stuff over here, but I see a section right here that says find a few styles This looks like it might be my size. Oh, no, it's a 10 and a half.  They got the red Oreo sixes up in here Okay. Okay. What else they got up over here? One long some dunks satins burgundy's more stuff Okay, okay Some solid options.

They've been kind of sought out everywhere But they got pairs over here and they got kids pairs too Dang, so this is the only store in Miami that I've seen so far that has this shoe Interesting interesting. Okay This I still need this in the adults version. I still need these What else they got over here some solid options everything similar to the other stores It's actually funny because this is a men's shoe, but it's in the women's section I feel like they're like holding it out or something like we kind of got men's shoes over here too though Maybe it's kind of like all in the same thing because those are like women's shoes kind of scattered Dang, these are still available These are like being kind of sat for a while, but then like sold out burgundy fires What else you got over here? Week 13's okay a lot of similarities But definitely differences at each store. I like this because it's not the same stuff at every single store Uh with us. Oh, no, I seen the display over here.

Like I know they emphasize the other shoes, but like they gotta put the thirteens in the mix too if you ask me black vermero fars This right here lightweight menace activity, but They're probably comfy air max one going crazy over here Which I'll think about these. Let me know down below in the comment section 160 bucks is it a cop?

We'll see you guys in the next video If you guys like this make sure you hit that subscribe button and uh, yeah, yeah I would never let you down and sit my dna. The only choice I like to make what I'm aware today. I was made for it


Hello everyone, welcome to this course on Introduction to Flight. In this course we shall cover very basic overview of essentially how does a plane fly and what are the important aspects related to flight of an aircraft in the lower atmosphere of the earth. So the course will focus only on flight of aircraft. So it will not cover rockets, spacecraft, missiles and other interplanetary objects, it will be limited to only aircraft. Since young age all of us are interested to know how does a plane fly, we also are curious to look at the flight of birds, we want to understand how the performance of an aircraft is measured or estimated in terms of what happens during takeoff, climb, cruise, turning, maybe gliding, landing and these phases. So the major part of the course would talk about the performance of the aircraft but that is the second half. The first half of the course will consist essentially about introduction to aircraft, its various components, introduction to the atmosphere in which the aircraft operates and then we will go on to look at basic fluid mechanics focusing mainly on incompressible flow and looking at some instruments, how they function, how they measure the various parameters like pressure, air speed and then we will move on to some idea about drag, lift. One important part of the course would be to dispel the myths or the wrong information that we see or read in textbooks and other documentation about how a plane flies. The mechanism of generation of lift is wrongly described in many textbooks as well as pilot operating manuals. So we will try to dispel those myths and look at the true and the real reasons or the basic physics behind the flight. We will move on to certain interesting and relevant aspects regarding flight as I mentioned types of drag, we will look at a few equations and theorems like the Bernoulli's principle, we will look at the Kwandai effect, we will look at Mach number and with that we will be explaining how an aircraft flies. There also will be some coverage of various types of propulsion systems. All in all this is going to be a course which will be most suitable for students after their school at the undergraduate level in engineering or science who are curious and interested to know about essentially how does a plane fly and we will end with one section on operational aspects of aircraft, one to do with its operation as a carrier of aircraft and cargo, the range and the payload tradeoff and we will also look at the tradeoff or the diagram between the velocity and the load factor called as the VN diagram. Finally we will look at the ultimate flyers, the birds and we will try to get a very brief idea about the flight principles and aerodynamics of flapping wing vehicles. So we look at birds and we will look at some other biological inspirations which have made our understanding of flight better. So I welcome you all to participate in this course and do give us some feedback after the end of the course on how we can improve the contents. An important point to be noted is that this course is based on the recordings of a similar course which was conducted in the classrooms in IIT Bombay. So the videos would be showing a classroom studio and there might be also some interactions with my students in that course at that time. So it has not been recorded especially for the online audience but it has been adapted from the recordings of the course made in a classroom environment. Thanks a lot and see you all at the course.


as publicity is also well part of what we do on the on the Debian website to attract our users we have this publicity buff here in the round room at debcon 11 today Alexander Reichlich mail from the publicity team will give I will leave this buff well welcome for joining me here now in the round room instead of going to the multi-art talk I'm sure it will be made available later as video so you probably know miss anything for those of you who attended my hour talk yesterday I'm sorry our talk yesterday I had on the last slide the list of open issues and I think we can more or less use it as a well kind of targets audience agenda thanks again of our today I think we just need to clean it up a little bit I think it doesn't make any sense to discuss the distinction between internal and external communication besides that we would like to have a small well text on planet Debian so that was a point brought up yesterday that because many people look at Planet Debian and take it as something official from Debian we would like to have them at a small statement on the on the bottom of Planet Debian that it is just some opinions and nothing official by Debian do we agree on that or would we like to discuss that okay one thumbs up no thumbs down okay so I just noted down as something we agree on or someone else so other topic press team can trigger partial rebuilds I think that's in the domain of the web team to fix it actually the web team consists of translators who would like to see that translators published so sooner or later it will be fixed well what else I use this well maybe I start with that topic because some of you might have noticed already it's something I really like to talk about because I think it's quite important to us it's block Debian org just right come in yesterday and the talk wasn't really the time to give any details about that but a small status update on that is our Debian system administrator team sitting there not the only one from well our Debian system administrators are currently testing the software we might use for that maybe you just can say a few words about that well the idea is to use the idea is to use software called open melody which can generate static HTML content which we then can with a some sort of post commit hook after committing the after publishing the content are synced to every website mirror so we have actually so we end up with block DB and are also being in Geo DNS and so every user faced website is not only on a single machine but published on several machines from the Debian project that's the current idea we are looking into that software if it's suitable for for that what the press team wants yeah that sounds really good if I understand it correctly the idea was to have every Debian developer be able to write an article but I think that will happen in a in a later that will happen in a later state in a later so the we in the in the box we had this morning we said we want to have some single sign-on authentication for web applications the idea for that is so that every Debian developer who has a login to dbdebian.org is able to write stuff or to use web applications with one password if in the end this works out with a melody as well I think the publicity team is very will be very happy about that I'm not sure how fast that will happen as we are still as we as we haven't set any single sign-on or whatever up at the moment ok maybe you had you showed how the publicity team team currently works so how you gather information and how this information is being published that might help others within this room to find out how you are working and maybe getting the team a bit bigger that's a good idea I'm sorry I didn't have really time to I didn't really time to prepare that this both properly you might have noticed we were kind of busy last days well the publicity team and therefore also the press team has currently a mailing list and an ISE channel this is our ISE channel no no it's not that's our ISE channel and our well if you can't read it it's just an ISE channel with people joining in and dropping out occasionally so nothing really important to see okay our workflow as I tried to say to explain yesterday is more or less that we are kind of a mouth group there's not really a borderline who's a member of the publicity team or not so basically everyone can jump in and propose ideas and if they are good it will be done usually we hope that if you join and have an idea you also well if you join and have an idea you we usually expect you to also have some so the will to invest some time into making your idea come true the actual work well obviously ISE and the mailing list are just used for communication the actual work is mostly done via our subversion repository it's very easy usually we use the subversion announcement to draft announcement and the project news before moving the documents into the website well we have some explanations how the version works on the wiki pages if there's something missing just tell me and we can expand the documentation one point we might try to discuss is how to get the deviant project news workflow changed improve whatever to have them actually on a regular interval as you might have noticed we tried to send them out bi-weekly so we that's kind of distracting I'm going back to the Titan pet sorry we try to send them out bi-weekly so that actually means we take ten days for editing them where everyone can write articles or usually we have a small to-do list on the top of the counterft everyone can edit it on the on the second Friday we usually freeze it to give people time to review our English and also for translators to well do the translations and over the weekend that's done and we try to release the deviant project news then on the next Monday if you look at our web page you will see that it's not strictly every two weeks so how do we change that I mean the deviant project news were once the deviant weekly news and I'm I really love that back then I changed the name to project news so any ideas how do we get more people involved in adding the deviant project news and well at least proposing topics but if I haven't mentioned it often enough every deviant developer has right access to our subversion repository well it has again right access to our subversion repositories was small buck with the alien moves with the alien migration but now again every developer can just write stuff into it so but gizmo is wanting to say something probably maybe we want something smaller because actually as far as I see it is really big so we want to put more information in it and this probably gives you a more bigger time frame between the two so probably want something smaller and at the same time as soon as we get the news we get the news out in one week instead of waiting this could be an idea but then if you have blocked of deviant talk probably is useless because on the blog is instantaneous yeah so I don't I'm sorry for being late actually I don't know if we really want to separate what it goes to the blog and what goes to the deviant project news so if the blog wants to be just one single shot as the news comes to the deviant publicity mailing list or if the blog wants to be the deviant project news put it on the blog so each time you have a news you put that on the blog as well as it is now sort of sort of we're asking for random input any idea any idea okay steal ideas from other people and an idea to steal would be to use the Twitter style users you know crowdsource your news so basically if you if you could if you can make the users who just rarely watch the lists you know who don't really invest time to become SVN committers and you know like that if you get them to if you get them to if you just said you have a basic problem you don't even have the list of topics to cover you know you're saying well you even you want any kind of contribution at all so you gotta start small you gotta start getting people to give you the basics of the basics and there was an old old idea thread from I think it was Russell Coker who first submitted it to Debian private many years ago we should summarize threads on the mailing lists but that sounds very ambitious but if implemented in an interface combined with the list Debian org archive then you could have the readers you could poke the readers and say okay we noticed you hit you read three messages from this thread through our list archive interface what was this about you know one word is just enough you know take it and then that way you could build a metadata database you know you could gather metadata about all this unpossible data that requires all the oldest man hours to process and to digest and to put it into Debian project news you know start small that would be my main idea okay well I agree with was on there if there's this kind of major thread on a mailing list some kind of discussion going on it should be mentioned in the Debian project news and I agree with you if we if we send out there's some discussion going on two weeks later it might be even contract contract productive yeah well image in some small flame war which is just ceased then being mentioned in the Debian project news that rising up again that's something we obviously don't want to do I'm not really sure if taking the mailing lists will gain us much as again we get to the topic of tracking website users but I'm I don't think that many people read our mailing lists we as a list archive I guess it's mostly pointers from various news sites or users or yeah it's a just my personal feeling that I don't think it will gain us much but but again I'm not against doing it I'm just going off the reality of there's there's a site called nebel.com that pops up in Google search results all the time for me so I'm guessing that Google leads you know Sergio engines lead on a lot of users on to our mailing list through the mailing lists through archives and then they figure out oh something's going on here people are discussing something that's useful to me or interesting or something so I'm guessing if we would if we exploit this vector of people coming in we might gain something obviously there's a lot of technical effort involved in getting this to work just a small addendum you notice the publicity group is very small and the more technical section over there is probably crowded so if you could if you have an organizational issue that you you may help fix with a technical issue throw it to the lines over there and then maybe something will happen use the resource that we do have over there so by the way it was not a criticism against the Debian project news the fact that it was long it was very well done but still it's very big I think that for a week is here okay yeah I think that we have a parallel problem I mean I'm speaking now as a Debian events team we have a problem that people usually don't publicize their stuff to the correct mailing list so we don't get the information as when we want the information we get the information because we dig into the mailing list blocks personal stuff whatever so we arrive late and actually it is good idea just because our users tell us something so if you get the news about any events or a new release or something that is important when it is important we probably have more news we need to we need sort of filtering that's clear but we probably have more material and in that case we have we can have Debian weekly news or we can have a two-week news or we can have three week can have even I've even have two in one week if there's something which is really important and this is something that I will I would like to discuss with the event box as well even event team as well because it's the same stuff with events so we we publish events before big events there's no problem for small events there's real problem there are some events that they were not announced properly and they discovered that on blog post and then you tell the people look you should have sent an email and they don't reply even to do your request so I know the story yeah I know once was member of science team too I know that you actually you left the burden on me and Francesca and Martin but it was a good choice and so I think that it's just a question of education of our user as soon as there's something it's clear that we cannot do I mean it's clear that we don't leave any ideal world so this will never happen for everything but still probably we need to tell more information to people about what we want to publish today what we want to know and then they will just probably help us in a better way let me let me take one step back here what is deviant project news supposed to achieve the deviant project news are supposed to inform the deviant community whatever whoever that might be about things happening in the deviant well universe that's I'm getting more detailed the deviant community and everything is happening there is quite big it's ranging from well people porting deviant to the herd kernel up to people creating nice to video tutorials or something like that so it's a very wide universe and no one actually can know everything but there's a lot happening on the other side of the universe so to speak which might be interesting or at least nice to know so it's basically trying to be a summary of events taking place so let me come to my point I think our or your our our point is not being very quick here we do not really need to be current on a daily or weekly level if we get out news two weeks too late it is not bad because people who have not read the relevant mailing lists usually want to be informed what's happening maybe they will in some special cases take retakes and some discussions on after the event but I think this is not the typical case I think the typical case is people want to be informed in a larger time perspective well I think our events team will hardly disagree that it's okay to inform two weeks later about the deviant taking place I also think there are thumb well mailing lists that's that's okay to post a summary two weeks later but I think there are a lot of threads where some more input of our actual users might be useful for example several threads on the deep-in desktop mailing list come to my mind where well even desktop is obviously targeting users so involving users can't be that long okay in it on the other hand people who do not read deviant desktop are not interested in the daily discussions on on that topic well why do they not read it then well I give you I can give you one example to give you one example we you might well you might remember that we have a squeeze release recently and before the release on the desktop mailing list was discussed the default team which should come with squeeze there were some proposals and then the space fun scene which I think I can't show you it's well the rocket team one it was a discussion I think over one weekend and some people loved the well the result of the discussions and some people just hate us for the same I'm not entirely sure if it would have been well more useful to have more people involved in that discussion but I think it would have been good idea to have the possibility to mention that discussion I think I think and now for something completely different one of the most major points of the deviant project news when I started them again was to show the people that the deviant project is still alive because back then we had no newsletter we had occasionally an announcement some of some announcement for we're just usual stuff like well point release some security bugs fixed nothing really happening well not to say anything about stable releases but that's how other people might see it and so the deviant project news is our well is the community's voice to the world it should tell the other people that we are alive we are doing things and inform the users as a side effect kind of well what I would like to bring up again what Gizmo already started was the fact when we will have or when we have blocked db and arc what will happen to the deviant project news because if we are doing regular content public publishing regular content is the deviant project news still a thing that should be sent out or should we just have the users reading the block dbn.org thing so to slightly this might sound like I'm derailing that question but it's with a relevant comment I hope the free software foundation recently about a year and a half ago started publishing a monthly newsletter and they found that having a consistent publication frequency really helped them maintain the readership of that newsletter at the same time the deviant weekly product news appears to be published at just about exactly once a month now so it seems to me that if we admit that the deviant product news is monthly then this leads a lot of space for the blog and also a lot of space for the micro updates of micro blogging services I also think that having a blog is not gonna make the project news unnecessary because in my perception what people like most about the project news is that they aggregate things it's a lot like a digest you get them every two weeks or maybe a bit less often and it's not much work to keep up with the going going on in the community you just read through the mail and basically have a rough idea what's going on and I think the people who like this aggregation service that we do for them are exactly those who would not like to keep up with a steady stream of blog posts or micro blog posts or whatever so maybe this is crazy but I guess at some point the project news would probably also have to summarize what's been in the project blog or something so yeah it's a lot of work all this aggregation because it's manual work and there's few people who like this type of stuff but I think they're really really useful and we should not abandon that even if you have a blog and other so going back to what Arne said before I really think that we need to decide what goes to the Debian project news because I'm such kind of a person that don't like microboggling that don't like identical Twitter whatever I want to get emails I get the emails now I can read whenever I want I don't want to be online to read something and so this means that in my opinion whatever goes to the blog whatever goes to the identical account whatever goes to Twitter whatever we want must have an email being it in on Debian events or Debian event sorry the Debian publicity announced Debian announced whatever just create two mailing list one that get microboggling posts and one that they could summarize or digest stuff but I think that we really need to publish as much as possible as we can because I mean we have the DPL in Taiwan and there were no mention of that on the Debian events news and this is just because it was a single talk it was a decision by the events team probably me and not by the other two because I got the email and I replied it was not worth to put on the major events in Debian because we only put major events when we have real presence I mean a big presence not that I'm not saying that the DPL is not a big present but the talk by the DPL without any background why it was invited there whatever and announced two days before the talk I don't think it's worth it as she said about the Free Software Foundation newsletter I still get it I mean I mean I read it I don't read it read it so much because I'm in Europe and unfortunately whatever happens there is mostly in Boston and US but I get the Free Software Foundation Europe newsletter and they have the same problem sometimes you get an information which is too old and you say yourself what's the problem what's the what's the what's worth it with that still they send the information so probably you want to know what happens no matter what no matter if it's actual or not and at the same time you need to advise people what's going on so it's a double problem I mean in my opinion and there's no right solution I'm sorry just quickly I think obviously all of the Debian publicity outlets should include email mechanisms to receive them so obviously the blog for an email subscribe and obviously there should be a way to subscribe to the identity feed by email and then if that's what you how you want to read them then you can be part of listening to those outlets still actually when the project news was still called weekly news I translated them to German for a pretty long time and at some point I wasn't able to get the translation done in time or timely manner and I wondered myself if I should send it out three days four days later and actually I just did and I added a short paragraph on top where I explained the situation that it's delayed and I'm sorry for that and actually several people responded and said yes thanks for sending it out nevertheless so even if it's might be old news and a bit outdated people still like to have the constant stream it's exactly like that if you want to give an idea of the Debian presence we must send out even if it's outdated because it's the only way that people knows we are there we are alive if you want to reach user to participate in something we must send it out only before because otherwise the user don't go because it's too late but I still don't think that that this is the objective of Debian project news this is an objective of mailing lists for example Debian events EU well also do we have a sense of how many people are subscribed to receive Debian product news versus the identity feed versus Debian events EU because that'll give us a sense of which of those is succeeding at convincing people we exist statistic stats I increase the font size a bit so it's readable whatever you're looking at reads news is read by 20 sooth 22,000 people I think I once checked somehow you can such a it's dropping out there but I think that about well I think somewhere you can see the point where we restarted the Debian project news again and so announce mailing list it's read by security announced 31,000 people announced 29,000 people okay okay so we're just checking all the website numbers right now on the mailing list numbers actually where are we going with this I can't check the publicity list because the publicity list is on alias isn't it but it can't find it any case I don't think this is super usable by now I mean it's great we have big numbers it's it's it's fantasy it's motivating and it should make us go on well and it obviously points out that the mailing lists and the newsletters are far from being dead yeah that I agree I just wanted to give one other thing into the discussion in my perception when doing the the weekly news and after that the project news the problem often wasn't how fast do we get our pieces written up and is it too late and should we wait another week or not really most often the problem that we had was getting them full or at least over a certain threshold that we felt was necessary in order to have this sent out to be a proper project news and really the problem I think that that makes us lower it's not so much writing the pieces up it's collecting topics because yeah everybody still exists in here Sweden lots and lots of mailing lists and trying to keep up with everything but then there's all this stuff going on in mailing lists with local in that in local languages and there's other stuff we miss and stuff that went down in some IRC channel and whatever so maybe something that would help the project news to to be faster or to be bigger or whatever you wanted them to be would be to somehow find a way to make it easier for people to point us towards put potential topics like I don't know the most stupid thing that comes to mind is a website with a text field where you basically just drop a URL send hit the send button and walk away or I don't know the identity some kind of cool website URL sending account and there's all this kind of stuff already existing anyway well what we can easily do is well going in the direction of crowdsourcing is to have say on Thursday or even one day before that and then on the TV in an identical the slash TV in calling for content for the TV in project news before it's getting forced frozen that's something you can obviously do what I've never tried that before well it's just an idea and as we as a publicity team decide what's be is published on identica I think it's no problem in getting the axe for that well about getting news items in your view mailing them to devian use should do it too isn't it please I'm mailing it to the mailing list yeah but it's okay but it rarely happens so it rarely happens every issue has on the bottom of it and if you want to continue reading it please send an email to that list something like that I don't think well some deep in developers sometimes and in something but I never see I think I never got something from an ordinary user so to speak I'm wondering if actually anyone read is reading it so but but surely sending it to us list does work if anyone on the live stream is hearing it and would like to add some content to the devian project news please manage to devian publicity at lists dot devian dot org so but I think this might have another you wanted to add something but I'm feeling we are running out of time no it's just a general comment I would like to stress the fact that things evolved quite in a well way I mean we I really subscribe to the to the devian publicity mailing list after last year events buff and at least I see people involved there I see at least two or three different requests for translating or checking the English announcement of something and this is something that I think I would like to to stress out because it's it's a big thank you to the team is working quite well and really we are now trying to improve things but seeing what happens before and where we are now we should see the stuff in a positive way so thank you very much am I getting read well yeah I think we we improved over the last four years I think constantly as it doesn't mean we can't get better plenty of new items for the event stuff which is actually is part of the publicity stuff so we decided last just to remark we decided last year at the beginning of this year mostly that there's an events team that replied to the events at debian.org at us but everything is discussed on publicity mailing list so actually we are just a sub sub team of the publicity team so similar as press adivian organs a publicity team so any other ideas any other topics I think we have still three minutes left looking at my old to-do list from yesterday oh sorry yeah I think I think I said this last year but publicity is one side of it there's also the other side gauging public opinion about devian this is something we haven't looked at yet but I hope we start to at some point and the other thing I wanted to mention was Ubuntu locos we don't really have any such thing in devian in Ubuntu they mostly use for marketing I would guess that's what you would say so it might be interesting to explore this within the publicity team at least think about it well doing marketing and the meaning of gathering of website logos or are we speaking of I think we have one very strong local team which is the Swiss one so sorry I should explain more about the thing so it's an abbreviation for local community and they call it loco and yeah so they organize events locally and hack fests and whatever but I think it's mostly used for marketing stuff yes and to some degree we are in a completely different situation here because there is canonical backing up the local teams sending them material stuff for presenting at events and things like that and we don't really have the resources to send stuff around so again I don't want to publicize my buff my buff sorry the events buff later but we are going to discuss that how are we aware of and how many community devian has in the world in the sense how many communities are really community driven by devian developers of devian people which are involved with the devian publicity with anything else because otherwise it's very difficult I mean Ronda say about told about the devian ch community but actually we are trying to be to do stuff in Switzerland and we don't do anything because there are no big events still we are present because we produce merchandise so that's the main reason people knows the devian ch community otherwise we don't have any big events in devian in Switzerland but so do we have any other communities in the world we I know we have devian France we have devian in Italy in Germany UK so I think that we need the census of a census is it an English word I mean we need to know how many real communities there are and then we can go on we can start from there but it should not start from zero just just to add we are we just mentioned European devian communities but there are quite a lot of in South America as well in North America there are many worldwide but we are not really collecting the information about them in one central place we just learned from them from time to time when we see mostly merchandising okay that's really a good way to get known okay how could one do such a devian community just the final question how would one do such a thing like a devian community census we had the census for the derivative so just make an announcement and see how many people reply well I really hope that's a devian community is larger than the number of derivative there's also a few things I can look at like I remember when we did the last release we had this thing going on asking people who who had local release parties to just check by send a picture or say hi or something and we got messages basically from all over the world telling us that they're having a release party in somewhere and so obviously if there's a party there's a community so yeah maybe we should like rather look for evidence of communities and and see what we can find instead of asking them to add an old register or show up or something well as a matter of fact devian's birthday is coming up it's 18th birthday so one would one would expect so what one would expect to have a lot of parties worldwide but I think on the wiki page there are currently four devian birthday celebrations registered okay yeah time's up well you know where to find us you know our mailing list our ISE channel we hopefully get some minutes written out of that and well see you next year and in our


Leadership and command fitness leaders working together can promote the culture of health and fitness across the fleet. Command PT is important for both the command and the sailor. It's important for the command. It gives the command the opportunity to assess every sailor on a regular basis. It will help identify sailors who have issues or may be struggling with their own personal routines and actually help the sailor in learning new routines or different areas that they may be stuck on. If you can get somebody excited on a fitness routine, you really have to do something that they like. The command has to get out of what we used to do in high school and college, what we did in early boot camp, what we did at the schools. We have to realize that fitness has come a long way. We're just not doing the push-up, the curl-up and run till we puke. That is old style. Keep sailors interested. If they're doing the same thing day in and day out, they get bored and they don't want to show up because it's boring. Different activities such as aerobics or some sort of step has benefits that many sailors may not be aware of. One, it breaks up the routine of the same old monotony of just running and running and running. You start using muscles that you didn't even know you had just by trying something different. An effective command PT program is one that has the leadership actively engaged. If the CO and the XO and the CMC are making to command PT, sailors will make it to PT every time.

Hello friends, let's discuss the following question. It says how many quads can be drawn to 21 points on a circle? So let us interpret this roughly. We have a circle and we have 21 points on a circle. We know that each chord is the join of two points on a circle and we have to find number of all such quads. Now each chord is the join of two points and by the theory of combination we know that our objects from n objects can be selected or combined knowledge will work as the idea. Let us now move on to the solution. Now we know that each chord join of or combination of two points that is each chord is combination of two points. So the number of quads equal to 21 C2 and this is equal to 21 factorial upon 2 factorial into 21 minus 2 factorial which is again equal to, now 21 factorial can be written as 21 into 20 into 19 factorial upon 2 factorial into 19 factorial. Now 19 factorial gets cancelled with 19 factorial and 2 into 10 is 20 and this is equal to 21 into 10 which is equal to 210. Hence the number of quads are 210. So this completes the question. Hope you enjoyed this session. Goodbye and take care.


Hey everyone, welcome to Higan Iruthil. We have new codes today, but unfortunately They're gonna be a few, literally. So let's go ahead and check out these Progo codes. We have the first one, which is, let's do a caps here So by the way guys, the codes are case-sensitive, so be careful Please encode them as I am encoding them Because you might not get the right codes. Sorry, sorry not E46 Okay, so that's one the other code here is is giga h e 46 Okay, so there you go Confirmed. Okay, so only two codes for today. I'm just gonna have a shout-out to peeps over at Higan Iruthil Philippines community Hope you're watching this and I'll be putting the codes in the description so that you you know have a quick reference of the codes Thank you guys for staying this far.

So, thank you. I'm excited to present joint work with Diego Zamiasi at Newcastle University, and this is a project that was funded by the Revenues for Development Initiative at Unwider. So we're staying offshore. In two ways, we're talking about offshore oil and offshore finance, by companies and oil licenses. So according to a report, the OECD in 2014, about one-fifth or about 19% of foreign bribery is concentrated in the extractive sector. And then if we look deeper into cases of corruption, let's look, for example, at this report that was published by the Natural Resources Governance Initiative, then they looked deeply at 28 cases of corruption. And they found that shell companies were involved in about eight cases of these 28, so about a third of them. So we got a little bit like, what's happening here? Why do shell companies play such a role? And can they work as a red flag to just stick with the title that they gave on corruption happening in this sector? So the question we asked is, does the award of oil and gas licenses create opportunities for corruption? So we're zooming here on a particular moment of the whole production and exploration process of oil. And we're looking at the moment when all permits are actually being awarded. So why this is the case? Why could there be a link to corruption? Well, there are large investments that are required to gain oil licenses, but also to be able to extract oil. And that's also why there's a need of a large infrastructure and large investments. But the gains that can be obtained are also very high. At the same time, typically, and this I didn't know before starting this project, and then I got the opportunity to dig in a bit deeper. And the oil licensee are typically given out through different procedures. Some of them are direct negotiations. Other are licensing rounds. And in these licensing rounds, typically ministries or public figures, they do play a role. And so typically, they also own large discretion in this process. So which kinds of licenses are we talking about here? So we're going to focus on this study on two types of licenses. And those are exploration and production licenses. So exploration licenses, as the name says, they are usually awarding the right to explore a typically a block or an area. And they typically last between five to 10 years. So we have a suspect that there may be oil there. And so we're going to explore the area. By production licenses, as the name says, they instead like there has already been a discovery. And so we're gaining the right to produce oil and probably trade it commercially. And they last for a longer time period. But the thing is that production licenses are typically awarded and oftentimes they are awarded after a discovery has happened. And sometimes owning an exploration license is a prerequisite for participating in a licensing round for production license. So as a result, it turns out that exploration licenses are oftentimes more valuable in terms of what can come out or if we think about the flow of returns that could happen in the future. So going back to the question we started with is does the award of oil and gas licenses create opportunities for corruption? Then putting together what we said so far is that there are large rents at stake and there is high discretion of public figures that are involved in this process. So the risk of corruption is pretty high. And then going back to the title again of offshore finance, why would the shared companies play a role in this? And for now, I'm just going to mention some cases that were brought up, brought about from the press or from the work as an investigative journalist as the ICIJ did or from justice courts. So let's think to just here, I'm just going to mention three cases and as an example. So let's think that maybe some politically connected individuals, they won again the right for the exploration license and then make profits by reselling it later. So of course, they cannot participate directly in the awarding round, but what they could potentially do is set up a shared company of which like they are the owner of the beneficiary behind it and then let the shared company participate in the licensing round. Another case could be, for example, that companies actually may be interested in bribing the public figures so to gain advantage and probably gain a higher chance to obtain the license. And in that case, maybe they cannot probably channel the bribes directly to the public figure. So what they could do is set up a shared company of which the public figure could be somehow linked to the ultimate beneficiary and therefore channel the funds through the shared company. Lastly, another case could be, for example, that typically when there is an award of a license, then there is also a sign in bonus that comes with it and it should end in the government coffers. But there have been cases in which some of those funds that should be part of the revenues of the countries are siphoned off to the personal accounts of public figures. And typically the way this is done or in some cases the way this has been done is through channeling the funds to a shared company that is tied again to the public figure. So going back to what has been said, for example, in the panel this morning, we started looking for patterns in data. And what we have done, we have plotted the three series here. So the bottom series here is the number of awards. It could be like exploration licenses or production licenses that have been awarded throughout time. Then the series in the middle, the blue line, is the price, the oil price. And the last one on top is the number of shared companies that have been opened through time. What this picture suggests is that the three series do seem to move together over time. So the number of awards, the bottom series, moves very closely or at least similarly in pattern to the top series which is the number of new shared companies that have been opened over time. So to sum up so far, then going back to the question, does the award of oil and gas licenses create opportunities for corruption? Well, looking just at the patterns of the time series, there seem to be a relationship if we agree to think that shared companies may act as an indicator of corruption. So just to give out the results of the study and then we're going to dig in it more later, what we do find is that in the period around the award of an exploration license, the number of shared companies increases by 11%. And this relationship holds even stronger when there is an oil boom. So when the price of oil is increasing, meaning that the revenues from oil are also bigger in that period. So how do we do this in the end? So first of all, we get data on oil licensing rounds. So thanks to the contribution of UniWider, we actually were able to purchase data from a business intelligence provider that actually gains information on licensing rounds and actually its customers are oil companies. So it's just to give out information when an oil licensing round is happening so that oil companies could take part in it. So we purchased that information and we had information on the different locations of the oil blocks, the date at which the award would happen, and the type of award. So whether it would be an exploration or a production license. And we had the information on about 6,300 of awards across 130 countries, more or less, for a 25-year spend, between 1990 and 2014. And then we looked at the other side. So we had information on the awarding rounds. We needed information on shell companies. So we actually made use of the work that ICIJ did. And we looked deeper into the shell companies that the data said that they put together through the different leaks. So the Panama Papers, the Pandora Papers and Paradise Papers. So this whole database has information on shell companies that have been opened throughout between like 1990 and 2014. Actually the data goes back also in time for the 70s, but let's say we have a reliable amount of information starting from the 90s. And for a third of this company we can link them to a specific country. So on one side we have information on the awards, when the licensing rounds are being awarded and where. On the other side, for a subgroup of these shell companies, we have information on when they were opened, and from which country they were opened. So from there, we started our estimation. So we said, let's look at a specific country, and then let's look at the average number of shell companies that this country is incorporated in a specific month. Then let's focus on the six months that are around the timing of the awarding of an oil round. So being it either exploration or production license. And then let's compare what the trend in shell companies is going in this period, is looking like in this period. What around this six months interval is changing compared to what it is typically when there is no award. And just to make sure that we're not capturing a trend in the country, let's compare it to another country that in the same calendar month is not awarding anything. So in the end we're asking, is there a change in the number of shell companies that are being incorporated in the six months interval around the awarding of an oil license? Well the hypothesis we test is that if corruption or if we believe that shell companies are actually capturing some corruption, then we should expect a larger increase in the number of newly incorporated shell companies during the awarding period. And when there is a noise shock, so when the price of oil is actually increasing and so oil is becoming even more profitable, well then there should be even higher scope of rents and revenues. So there could be an even higher increase in the number of shell companies, because this opportunity to capture rent is even higher when the oil price is even increasing. So the finding that we have is actually synthesized in this figure. And what, so the three different markers, they just show the result of our estimation for three different subsets. So the first one is putting together the awarding is looking at how the shell companies are changing around any awarding period. And what we see is that given that the bar is crossing the zero line is saying, well, there does seem to be a small change, but it's not really statistically significant. The second one is instead focusing on the awarding of exploration licensing. And what this is saying is that when in the six months around the world of an exploration license, there is an increase of about 11% in the shell companies that are being incorporated by that country. The last one is instead on production license and then it's just saying, well, there doesn't seem to be an effect when a production license is awarded. And this comes back to our interpretation that probably to have a production license, you firstly need to have an exploration license. So the game has already been played by that time. And finally, what this is saying is, okay, the second hypothesis we're testing is whether one oil becomes even more profitable, meaning the oil price is increasing, whether this mechanism is even more likely to occur. And this is what the numbers in a rectangular are saying. So the coefficients are positive and statistically significant, saying that even more, not only when the award is being given out, there is an increase in shell companies, but this increases even farther when oil is more profitable. Okay, so to conclude, so we started by saying that the OSCD estimated that about a fifth of transnational bribes are concentrated in the extractive sector. And we have been talking since yesterday and we will be talking also in the next part of the day and hopefully also in the future, how this could be also a curse for some countries as it's lowering down the pace of growth and also exacerbating inequality. So we need a response by institution and policymakers. And what we have been saying even in the panel this morning was a word that like we need to make them accountable. And a way to make that those accountable or the government accountable is first to be informed. And so to make use of information that's being given out there and that allows us to see what's happening but also to call for more transparency in the awarding procedures. So to know who the players are and to know who's behind shell companies when they are being open. So this is all I have and thank you.


So, let us have a look at some of the applications which have already been attempted. These are not what can be done but which has already been done and kind of order of extent of usage. So, the most fundamental and prevalent usage of airships is for advertisement or product promotion. So, you simply use the large size of the envelope to communicate a message or a brand and when it flies slowly, unobtrusively, you cannot but observe it. Airships flying over cities with messages or with logos have been found to be one of the most effective ways of promoting a brand. For example, the two famous airships with that we all know about are the Goodyear airship or the Goodyear blimp as it is called and the Fuji film blimp. You will find small models of these hanging below the you know outside the shops of many photographic studios because they have promoted the brand to a large extent. So, all they do is simply fly all over the world at various places with the logo of the company. It is said that the Goodyear contract or the Fuji contract, I do not remember which one has been a record breaking promotion which is continuing uninterrupted since early 70s using airships. It is one of the records for longest advertisement contract which has been renewed every year because of its global reach. Similarly, when you want to announce a new product or any other thing you can use airships to promote it. The other application which has found favor at many places is aerial observation. This picture shows a company which used airships for aerial sightseeing over Las Vegas. Similarly, there are many cities I know for example, San Francisco where airships are used to take tourists up and give them an aerial view of the city and the important sites. Tourism for transporting people in or from areas of tourism importance. The most famous example of this is in Germany where there is a huge lake called as the Bodensee which is a lake mass that borders Switzerland and Germany and airships are used for a 90 minute aerial sightseeing tour and it is said that this tour is already booked for the next one year. So, if you want to take a tour you have to wait for a year or year and a half. There is so much of demand for this aerial sightseeing tour. One can use airships with the advanced imagery systems for sports events or for recording action as it takes place without too much disturbance to the people below. And a new application that seems to have come become very popular nowadays is called as the Corporate Hospitality in which a company or an organization hires an airship for a particular period of time and gives a joyride to its executives or its employees or whomever they want to promote. So, you just go up and have a nice meeting in the air for about 90 minutes. So, let us assume that sometime we will have a lecture on LTS systems above in the airship. But then looking at some other very interesting applications that is one which stands out and that is called as the mine seeker or use of airships for removing mines. So, I have a very small film which shows what is happening here. As patrons of the Mines seeker foundation, my wife Gwassamashal and I take this opportunity to call upon world business leaders and statesmen to support a new technology, a request to read the world of land mines. We are very privileged to get Brad Pitt on board as a patron and he has just accepted our group. We asked Brad as a big Hollywood movie star and a caring man to join us as well. Absolutely, it is an extraordinary technology but right now there is something of 70 million land mines out there, people are being hurt daily, we are not really sure exactly where they are and instead of what has now become an antiquated technique of searching them out with metal detectors or dogs. This is an extraordinary technology that is able to monitor hundreds of square meters a second and to find exactly where and what kind of land mines are there which will lead to a much quicker removal. So, it is an extraordinary technology, right now it is just sitting on a shelf and it needs to be put into action and that is why we are here. We as a group have decided we are going to get the funding. We have people standing by that will fund mine seekers and our equipment and our technology and getting the first vehicle actually in the air, floating in the air. Our goal is I believe to make six or seven of these and have them in various parts of the world and if for any reason everything else fails, every hairdresser, every friend, probably half the flight people on Virgin Airlines and everybody we know will make a contribution but we are dedicated to getting this done and we are very certain we have the financial means to be able to do that without relying on politics to get it done. But we need political help obviously once we are in the country with groups that help remove them. Okay, so just a small clip that explained how with imagination and planning and creativity you can use airships for interesting applications in this case for removal of mines. The picture on your right shows how instrumentation can be mounted on the airship for scanning for mines and the picture on bottom left with the red peak shows you the results of scanning that was done using airship for locating the mines. The red peak indicates a return where the mine is expected to be located. So then people know exactly where the mine is now you can send equipment to remove the mine without the need to scan the whole landscape. This is one very interesting application. The other application which is very common is police surveillance or security surveillance. Many Olympic games have seen airships being used for security and surveillance and there is a very interesting video which I would urge you to find and locate which shows an airship locating or identifying a person who carries a weapon into the car park of the Olympic games in Athens and by the time he parks the car and moves out the airship camera has identified that there is a weapon informed the police and he is immediately apprehended even before he leaves the car park. Similarly in Olympic games in Atlanta before that they were used and recently I got a news article from one of my ex-students that airships are also being planned for the upcoming Tokyo Olympics. Let me show you a time lapse video that shows you will see a small thing floating in the sky this is a video which has been accelerated. So what you see is that there is an eye in the sky continuously moving around and observing what is happening below. And the beauty of this particular video is that it will cover the whole night and the airship will be able to do the monitoring without any break because it can go up for many many many hours. So slowly you will see that the ambient light will start receding and also you will see a slight change in the route which the airship takes while doing the surveillance. Some lights have come on now this is completely in the dark and it continues and continues and continues till early morning. So what I say is that the applications are limited purely by your imagination and creativity. I want to share with you one very interesting application which was reported in a Bond movie. This is a clip from the film called A View to a Kill in which there is a... Perhaps a demonstration would convince you. I want no part of it. Thank you. So this man is not the Zorin's plan. The rest of our discussion must cross be confidential. Would you wait outside if you'd like me to? Yes. Excuse me. Thank you. Mayday. I'll provide you with a drink. This way. Classic James Bond stuff. So if you disagree with what I say and if you don't agree with what I say, which is the same thing by the way, you know what will happen.
