Today on the breakfast National Assembly says CBN is the most potent threat so the forthcoming 2023 general elections due to its badly implemented narrow redesign policy. Also on the breakfast the flying eagles are drawn in group A with horse, Egypt, Mozambique and Senegal will be discussing these and more on the show. And don't forget would also be looking through today's newspapers and lies in the biggest stories of the day. Welcome to the breakfast and plus TV Africa. I am Messi Popo. It's good to have you join us this beautiful Friday morning. A lot of people will say thank God it's Friday and hopefully we're all thanking God that today is Friday. I hope you're doing very well and you're having a great time instead of our conversation as always with what's making the rounds and you know the social media space what's actually trending. We like the set of our conversation what's making the rounds and what Nigerians are talking about. Now first on our list this morning is that the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission that's the EFCC has a Reign Rashida, wife of Yahya Bello and of course the nephew of Yahya Bello who's been governor of Kogi State if you like to know who's been involved in an alleged fraud. Now it's also reported that they were reigned before a federal high court in Abuja. Ali Bello identified as the nephew to the Kogi governor and a duo who had docked alongside three orders, three order peasants on an 18 count charge bordering on criminal misappropriation and money laundering to the tune of 3 billion, 81 million, 80 hundred and 4,664 Nair. I mean we had to take it the way it is like every detail has to be involved talking about the amount. Well in some courtes you probably see 3 billion Nair. We have to let you know the several fractions to that and it's been a lot of conversation on the different social media spaces and what have you. Now some people say that remember that those who approach the three governors that approach the Supreme Court talking about the Nair redesign policy CBN and the debt line and one of them is Yahya Bello, the governor of Kogi State. It probably might just be an irony that you know just as the approach in the Supreme Court gave the ruling then you know how the fact that if this is arresting or arraigning you know the wife and the nephew but you know according to that report and according to the judgment that's been given this funds where you know we're talking about the issue of fraud misappropriation and what have you. You want to ask yourself a 21-year-old boy how did he get through billionaire what exactly is he doing what's the business too many issues but some people say it's very commendable you know in the fight against corruption if that's the case we'll proceed fingers across and let's see how all of this pans out. Moving away from that the Lagos State government says that I like to say she over every other time but the Lagos State governor and or the government you like to say Babajideh Son Oulu has announced the reduction of transportation fare in the state by 50% well according to the governor the price reduction is in all state public transportation on the road and so if you patronize the waterways system this would take effect from next week as our yesterday so next week is like next week this is weekend now Son Oulu said that the BRT bosses first and last mile bosses have been directed to charge 50% including the lag ride and also the lag ferry of the current fare to reduce the hardship of the narrow swap on resident the 50% caught in all fairs like I mentioned earlier on lag ride which is a taxi scheme the first mile and last mile bosses and also the Lagos ferry services one would say that's very commendable should be commendable I mean even if it's going to last for you know just seven days but we have this thing there's you know this this popular statement you'll say at all at all now winch so this is this is a good one and should we say thank you but let's talk about the thoughts of Nigerians and Lagosians especially on the different social media space especially on Twitter as I was saying is it that we have few more days to the election really what happened when in November prior to December the fairs were high Nigerians are going through a lot and Lagosians are going through a lot we wouldn't have been being very possible is it that it's because of the elections so there's been a lot of doubt and I haven't really seen a lot of people say no I'm grateful but other other persons have also acted differently they have asked what happens to those who own vehicle vehicles I mean some people are saying well I own a private car own my own car so what happened with me I mean I have a car what should I do and maybe you probably have to you abandon your car and use the public transport the lack ferry if you're probably going anywhere via the airways no I beg your pardon the seaways and other means of transportation if you like well that's the case but let's see how this actually pans out if there will be implementation just seven days seven days from the day of the announcement is what Lagosians are expected to you know benefit we were in December we were in November where the pressure of scarcity was high when nothing actually happened but it's also a reminder that government is responsible for the security and you know the prosperity of the people ensuring that life is easy ensuring that they are in the business of governance and it should not just be at a time because when you begin to act in a certain way when it's close to election period people will miss understand or misinterprets you know your gesture or policy or action at a time whatever government does or government refuses to do would become you know a policy and when that's the case then people begin to give meaning to it and that's why a lot of people are thinking that hey it's just a campaign tactic is an election period and this is a period where you know there will be several you know tactic and different type of actions from different quarters and Lagos state governor is not out of this but I think that you should accept it you know with your with gratitude really saying for the period of time just one week you probably might just be enjoying that 50% discount and we hope that those who are involved in this also have also taken note of it to ensure that they implement implemented for the time being we move to a top trending our next up trending which is three on the list is that the Nigerian immigration service in Abuja said that they had seized 6216 permanent voter card and national identity card from a migrant in 21 border states nationwide and that's what the acting Comptroller General of the NIS Idris Isa who disclosed the information at a retreat with zonal coordinators and all commander controllers and the service headquarters in the FCT now according to Idris he said that 2,393 voter cards and 3,823 national identity cards were seized from peasants believed to be in unlawful possession of the documents now the states where the items were seized include a damawa aquaibom, bauchi, edo, jigawa, kebi, kogi, kwara, Lagos, Nassarawa, Niger, Ogun, Oyo, Plateau, Sokoto, Taraba, Yubeh, Zamfra, and three others the cards were seized during the operation to prevent migrants from neighboring countries from participating in the food coming general elections revealed that the this migrants most of whom hail from the West African countries have been deported to their various homeland according to the ECO's protocol on freedom of movement well the that's exactly what it is so you want to ask yourself commendable of the NIS that's the Nigerian immigration services I mean we say kudos to them we think that a lot has to happen just before the 25th you know off of February 2023 which is still the date for the presidential elections so fingers are very cross but the question you want to ask is how did these peasants six thousand of them get you know the PDC's how did they get it who registered them at what point how did this happen don't forget that in 2022 that's sometime last year I don't remember if it was you know very close to the end of the year we're talking about the fourth quarter or it was just in the third quarter there about but there were several allegations there were several complaints of having INEC personnel in you know this foreign I mean neighboring countries registering and that particular report was debunked it was debunked by INEC I remember saying oh that's not the case but see I think that that's what we should start from the conversation because I don't think that these people use superpowers these six thousand plus peasants use superpowers to come to Nigeria how did I get there how did I get the PDC I don't think it was magic I think that there's a compromise somewhere that's exactly what it is and that's a major threat to you know our democracy and that's a major threat to our elections that you have people who are not because if you look at the electoral act if you also look at the constitution you have to be an Nigerian you have to be an Nigerian to be part of this election you also have to be of age and the age that is recognized by the constitution is 18 you have to be 18 years and above so yes how do we get to this point as much as we say kudos to them but there's a compromise there's a compromise from you know the empire that is saddled with the responsibility of conducting a free and credible elections an empire that's expected not to be partisan there's a compromise there's a compromise even at the border how did they come in yes we say that our borders are porous but exactly how do you even explain all of this so there's something that's not right I think that we have to begin to investigate those these persons that have been a pre-handed it's not enough to deport them back to wherever they came from but it's also important to hold them and get the truth investigate get the questions they have to answer how did they get in who got them in at what point did I get this pvc's and you don't also forget that there are reports that over a million persons have not collected the pvc's over a million pvc's have not been collected because it's a human less even at the course of death so if you want to do your calculations a couple of persons would have lost their lives in the course of all of this so if you have almost one million or one million persons who have not collected their pvc's due to calculation how many persons would have died my point is foreigners have the pvc's but Nigerians a lot of people who leave here who are residents or taxpayers don't have the pvc we can't continue like this and expect a free and credible elections which I could break when we return it would be time for us to go through the front pages of a national deal is to call it off the press please stay with us good morning

Satguru, with such a powerful mechanism set up for a human being to evolve and be liberated in this place, is there a need to do any rituals in Kashi? Because you know what I hear from you is that there is a great design to this place, the yantra you talked about. So your mere presence here should be enough. Still I see many people come here to do rituals of various kinds. What is the significance of such rituals? Kashi is full of rituals. It was the center of rituals. There's nothing as sure fire as doing something internal. That is the best way to do it. So once you've been initiated into your process, that is what you should depend on. Why these things are built is it's for the public. They do not know how to do anything with themselves, but they know enough that something needs to be done with them. So when that is the case, an instrument like this and the complex rituals that came along with the instrument are very useful because it handles people en masse. There was something called a saptharishi puja. Saptharishis means the seven sages who were the first disciples of Shiva. They were to leave to carry this message and go. When they asked him, how should we worship you, he thought them a method. He said, you do it this way, I will be there. That method was taught to them and they taught to the people and today it continues in the same tradition. The way Shiva taught it to the seven sages, that process they started off. And they did it in such a way. Stacks and stacks of energy they built. This may not be tangible for other people, for me it's a living reality. And people will just burst into tears, they don't know what it is. Those who are doing it, they do not know how it happens. But they are sticking to the procedure that's been taught to them and making it happen. See the guy who is driving this boat does not know how to build an engine, he's just learned to use it and it works. So they just learned to use it. As the saptharishis would have done, seven people sat down there and they did this and it was a phenomena. I have never seen anything so energetic in any temple. I've been to quite a few, wherever I feel it's an energy center, I go. I don't go there to pray, I don't go to ask, I've never done abhishekam and pujas in any temple in my life. Okay? But this is a phenomenal science. You must come and sit in the Dhyanalinga temple. No ritual, no mantra, no puja, no nothing. It's always in total silence. Just come and sit there and see. Because it's essentially created for meditativeness. People who have no idea what's meditation. People who have no instruction. Without an instruction, you can make people meditative. So these are technologies. These are not belief systems. Technology is gone bad. My last question to you is, when somebody comes to Kashi, what is a must one should experience here? First of all, to come prepared a little bit. I would say, if you're traveling to Kashi at least for three months, get initiated to some simple meditative process. Meditate for some time, make yourself little more sensitive and come. Leave all your beliefs at home and come. Thank you, thank you. It was really a pleasure. This is the most complex and sophisticated machine on the planet. That's Kashi. It's phenomenal that somebody created a place like this. We bow down to them for the intelligence behind it, the competence behind it, the vision behind it, the compassion behind it. To make it available to everybody. This is what the world means. Not dogma, not philosophies, not belief systems. Human ability to go beyond our sense organs and be able to perceive something which is right now considered beyond. This is the only way a human being will know. This is the only way a human consciousness will expand. This is the only way a human being will evolve beyond narrow divisions that have happened in human societies. But those instruments are being systematically destroyed. It's important that these things are brought back. Past we have survived. The question is, the future will be survived. This has been unfortunate history of humanity that the greatest things on the planet will not survive, the crudest things will survive. Unless societies, individual human beings take care to nourish them, it's very important if you want a refined society for tomorrow, for our children and their children to live. If we want a refined society, it's very important we nurture the sophistication that is around. Otherwise, crude things will dominate anyway. Very easy to manifest the crude. Very difficult to manifest the sophistication because it takes thousands of years to evolve it. So it is a responsibility that we have as a generation of people to bring out the subtle aspects of life and somehow to make them live. To whatever extent everybody can do. If we cannot create another Kashi, the existing one we should preserve to whatever extent we can and create more instruments through which human beings can connect to larger possibility. We don't need more books to read. We need more practical instruments and methods through which a human being can expand his sense of who he is right now.


The next step in our introduction to SPSS and basic graphics is bar charts. And we like bar charts for a very simple reason. They are simple and simple is good. Or more specifically, bar charts are the most basic graphic for the most basic data, just frequencies for a simple category. It's also a very basic command in SPSS. Now, we actually have a few options on different kinds of bar charts. One, we can make a simple bar chart. So a single variable simply showing the category frequencies in that variable. Two, we can do a grouped bar chart where we break it down by some other variable. And then three, we can do multiple variables and show the bars simultaneously. But let's try this in SPSS. It's really easy to do. Just open up this SPSS syntax file and we'll give it a whirl. Once you've got the file open, you'll need to open the demo data set we've used it before. This is the command for Mac if you're running 22. And this is the command for Windows if you're running 22. Just change the version number if you need to. Once you have the file open, we're going to make some bar graphs. Now I'm going to do it by coming up here to what are called the legacy dialogues. These are specialized one graph only dialogues that come from earlier versions of SPSS. And seriously, I usually use these because I find them so quick and easy to deal with. What we're going to do is we're going to make a bar chart for levels of education in our sample. So I'm going to hit bar. We're going to do a simple bar chart. And we'll do groups of cases. And all I need to do is hit level of education, put it into the category axis and hit OK. And I make the output bigger. And there it is. Absolute piece of cake. And it's also very, very simple syntax. You see the syntax right here. It's really could be one line. And just as a point of comparison, here's the same chart produced with the chart builder. But you see we have this really complicated overwhelming code. The legacy chart produces it in an extremely simple way. So that's a simple bar chart, piece of cake. Now let's do a clustered bar chart for groups of cases. We'll look at levels of education by gender. To do that, we come back up to graphs and to legacy dialogues to bar. And now we're going to cluster it and do a level of education clustered by gender. So I hit define. And we'll get level of education. That's sort of our outcome variable. Put that under category axis and then define clusters by gender. We put that right there. I'll hit OK and make it bigger. And this time it uses nicer colors. But you have the five levels of education broken down where women are in blue and men are in green. But it's really easy to see here the relationship between the two variables. And in this particular data set, it really looks like there's no substantial difference between the men and women. Now I'll say I believe this is an artificial data set. So we wouldn't expect a lot of differences. But this is a nice way to compare them. By the way, come up and you'll see that the code for this is really simple. All it does is it adds by gender. And so again, a very short command. I'm going to go back to the syntax and we're going to do one more here. And that is for multiple variables. So this is a situation in which it can be confusing if you have a lot of categories within each variable. What I'm doing here is I'm going to get the means of variables or the numbers of ones. If you have an indicator variable where zero for no and a one for yes. This is a really nice way of comparing the frequencies of each one of them across. I'll show you how that works. We'll go up to graphs. We'll come back over to bar. And we're going to do a simple one. But this time we're doing separate variables. I'll hit define. Then I'm going to come down here and this data set, again, which I believe is fictional, asked a lot of people about various things that they might do. We're going to ask them about wireless service. And we're going to come down to whether they own a fax machine because this is old data and it's asking about old technology pagers. I've never had a pager. But I simply select all those variables. I put them in here. And as long as they're all in the same scale, it's going to do the mean of each one. And on a zero one, the mean is the proportion of ones. Hit OK. And there we have it. It's a way of looking at the distribution of multiple variables simultaneously. It's a very information dense display. And especially when you as an analyst are exploring your data. This can be a really quick and easy way of getting a feel for your data, which can then direct your further analyses.


Mowing is one of the most important functions in highway maintenance. To the traveling public, a well-kept roadside is attractive, but that's just one of the reasons we mow. Safety is our primary concern because overgrown vegetation can conceal small animals and even obstruct vision. Mowing is especially important in the fall. If grass and weeds aren't properly controlled before it snows, they can trap the snow on the roadway and create a drift line. So in this program on mowing, we'll look at the procedures to follow to eliminate drift lines and to keep our roadside safe and attractive. That's really the key to mowing effectively. If mowing a particular area doesn't eliminate a drift line or make the roadside safe and attractive, then the area simply should not be mowed. And speaking of safety, as with any other maintenance activity, the first thing to do is set up all the necessary traffic control devices. You need to place road machinery ahead signs on both ends of the area you intend to mow. And because these are the only traffic control devices, be sure to indicate the total number of miles you expect to mow. In this case, six. For that in mind, let's look at some general conditions for mowing and mowing widths. To begin with, if there's a good stand of grass that doesn't grow taller than 14 inches, mowing is not normally required. And no vegetation should be mowed shorter than six inches. This rule protects both the grass and the mower. If you cut into the crown of a clump of grass, it'll die. You're more likely to damage the mower on small rocks and debris if you cut shorter than six inches. Okay, that's how much you should mow. Now let's look at where you should mow. Basically, there are two types of roadway sections. Cut sections and fill sections. In cut sections, the roadway is below the land around it. In fill sections, the roadway is above the land around it. In cut sections, you should mow at least to the ditch line. But be on the lookout for any drainage structures. All of them should be marked with a delineator with a black stripe. If you come across a drainage structure that's not marked, or if the delineator has been damaged or knocked down, tell your supervisor, if the back slope is three to one or less, make one pass along the back slope to help drainage. But never mow a slope that's steeper than three to one. There's just too much danger of flipping the machine. As for fill sections, vegetation should not be higher than the roadway. So normally, one pass in a fill section is enough. Along with cut and fill sections, the type of road also determines how much you should mow. On urban interstate highways, you should mow from fence line to fence line. That includes all infield areas at interchanges. The ability of motorists to see clearly on these high volume roads is essential. As for the median area, you should mow all of it if it's 100 feet wide or less. If it's wider than 100 feet, just mow 25 feet from the inside shoulder. Normal interstate and primary roads have a smaller volume of traffic. So for these roads, a mowing width of 30 feet is adequate. But use your judgment and remember the guidelines for cut and fill sections. In many long and straight sections of road, mowing a 30 foot wide swath is unnecessary. On the other hand, mowing 30 feet wide around intersections is almost always a good idea. Most stopped at intersections have to be able to see clearly if there's any oncoming traffic. Secondary roads get the least attention. For these rural roads, 15 feet is the maximum width you should mow. There is, however, one exception. Wherever one of these roads enters a city, you should mow from right-of-way line to right-of-way line for one quarter mile in each direction from the city limits. In fact, this procedure should be followed for all types of roads. And those are the guidelines for effective mowing, but there are a few more things you should be aware of. First, mowing around sign posts and delineators. In many cases, the area immediately around these posts is chemically controlled, and that certainly makes your job easier. But when the area hasn't been chemically controlled, here's what you should do. First, pull up as close to the delineator as you can, around it as close as possible. And finally, back up to the delineator to get the small section you missed. This procedure takes a little more time, but it's necessary to avoid overgrowth at the delineators. In addition, you should notify your supervisor of the situation so that arrangements can be made to trim any remaining overgrowth by hand or to chemically treat it. You also have to be careful not to throw material into the traveled way. So when you're mowing along the edge of the road, always travel in a direction that throws the material away from traffic. Always be on the lookout for large debris. It's bound to be there no matter how well the area has been cleaned ahead of time. And that brings us to the end of the program. Try to keep the points you've seen here in mind and use your judgment. Remember the purposes of mowing are to eliminate drift lines and to make the roadway safe and attractive. And if mowing does not serve one of these purposes, don't mow.


Patients should know that colonorectal disease is very important and whether it's a rather small problem that often a patient is shy to speak about or a major problem like cancer or ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease or diverticulitis, we treat all patients the same and we really do care. We have a team of experts who have trained to be specialists in the care of colonorectal disease. When a case gets very complex I usually break it down to how I would want to be treated or how my relative would want to be treated. And I think the most important component to that between the patient and the physician is communication. There are so many components to an operation and all of our lives, the patient's lives, the staff's lives, the surgeons' lives are so busy, but when you're scrubbing at the scrub sink before an operation you have a moment of peace and tranquility and it actually is in that moment I feel like an orchestra leader. When I have that moment I'm thinking about what I'm going to do, thinking about the patient, what they're going through, I'm thinking about their anatomy that's been shown on CAT scans or I've seen on colonoscopy, I'm thinking about how we're going to get to team a dynamic to be most appropriate for its best performance. We have scrub nurses, circulating nurses, assistant surgeons, residents, students, all who are coming together in one room for one single purpose is to make that patient care experience the best it can be, much like an orchestra has one moment to make that performance. There's no area in medicine that teamwork and collaboration are not paramount to patient experience and patient outcome. You can do the greatest operation in the world, but if the nursing care on the floor isn't good, if the medicine doesn't come up from pharmacy right, it hurts what your overall care experience is. Alternatively, you know, if people are smiling and the men and women who are pushing the bed and in the cafeteria and even when you walk in someone says welcome and when you're lost they say can I help you, that experience, it's all the same team, we're all one, we're all equally important so you know I might get to have a badge that says Howard Ross surgeon but the experience is really one that we share with the patient and it's all of us, all of us at Hack & Sack.


Hi, I'm Ryan Howard. I'm the founder and CEO of PracticeUsion. PracticeUsion is a provider of free web-based electronic health records for doctors We are the largest physician and patient community in the United States. The specific challenge that we're trying to solve is we're trying to liberate all the your data as a patient from your doctor's office and make that available real time anywhere you go. As a patient, you'll see 19 different doctors in your lifetime because your information is not available today, there's 200,000 deaths a year. And so that's really key to our overall mission and our goal as a company. Today, we have 45 million patient center management. We have over 100,000 healthcare practitioners on the platform. If your doctor is using PracticeUsion, when you call the office, they will put you in the calendar using PracticeUsion. When you check in, the front office person would do that on PracticeUsion as well. When the nurse takes over and gathers your weight and your blood pressure and your vitals and your chief complaint, all that data is entered in a structured way into PracticeUsion. And then when your doctor takes over and diagnoses you and writes your prescription, we are connected to all the major pharmacies. Your drug will be waiting at the local Walgreens or CVS before you actually leave the office. Blood work is ordered from our system and the results come back, giving all the data to the doctor that they need to make their decision real time. The referral, making sure your medical information is available at the specialist's office, we facilitate that as well. And then as a patient, you can later log in to PracticeUsion and see all of your health history. So soup to nuts, we handle the entire visit. We've seen a number of different approaches where people are trying to engage the patient and have them put their information on the web. But the problem is the patient doesn't know their allergies and immunizations. They can't spell the prescriptions they're on. They don't always know all the conditions they've had. So, you know, the EMR, where it's incredibly interesting to me is that all that data is resident in one place. It's the system of record and the EpiCenter for all that information and when that's unlocked, you can do really, really incredible things, whether it's engaging the patient to take a bigger role in their own health or using that data for research for genomic testing or finding new curers. So that's that's really what I'm passionate about as well. About a year ago, we got a story from a doctor saying that they saw a patient and because they were able to get to the patient's information, that patient, they effectively saved that patient's life because they were using practice fusion. And I think that while we don't see every one of those stories, that we, I know we do that at scale, well today, just sitting here, we'll see a hundred thousand patients today. So knowing that the, what we built has knowing that it's helping one person is profound, knowing that it's helping tens of thousands of people each day keeps me doing what I do. Most entrepreneurs, I know, this was in particularly true for us. It took us twice as long, was twice as hard and twice as expensive to actually get the company off the ground. So when you're really thinking about the idealistic in six months, we'll have funding, it could take a year or two and while you're not getting paid during that and when things are really hard, you have to love that project to keep going on it. So again, I think the recurring theme of a mission-driven company is something that I'm very passionate about and I encourage all entrepreneurs to really have that deep meaning and passion for their project. Otherwise, it will likely fall on the wayside.


Today I'm going to be taking a look at a Linux distribution that I've never looked at before. I've actually never heard of until just recently I discovered this over on DistroWatch. So on DistroWatch, I noticed that kind of high in their page hit rankings is WOT OS. And WOT OS, again, I'd never heard of it. Apparently it is a Debian based distribution. I love Debian. It uses LXDE for its desktop. I like LXDE. LXDE uses the open box window manager. You guys know open box is one of my favorite window managers. So I'm pretty excited to check this thing out. It had a release just a few months back, November 2022 was their last release. WOT OS R12 was the release. And before that they had not had a release since way back in 2016. So for a number of years, this was a dormant project. So that's probably why I hadn't heard of it before. And you know, with that release back in November, the project is now active again. It's not just a one-off release. I actually checked their sites already planning on the next release of WOT OS. So people are actively working on this distribution. And the fact that it uses Debian and open box, I'm pretty excited. So I'm going to spin up a virtual machine and take a look at WOT OS R12. So I've downloaded the ISO and created a VM here. So let's go ahead and boot into the live environment and we boot directly into the LXDE desktop environment. So I'm going to go ahead and let's go ahead and run through the installation process. So it looks like they're going to use the Calamaris installer. One thing I noticed, the resolution, now of course I'm in a VM, I probably should change the resolution, the screen resolution, but I noticed it's very, very, very small. So I'm going to click on monitor settings. And when I say the resolution is very small, actually the screen resolution is big, but it's shrunk and the font size is really small. It looks like the default resolution is 1920 by 1440. That's kind of a odd resolution to set as a default for a VM. So I'm going to choose a more sane 1920 by 1080. Yeah, I'm assuming that was to satisfy the developer. He probably uses that particular resolution on his equipment. But yeah, probably for most general computer users, you probably want to set that to a better resolution as a default for a virtual machine. So now the Calamaris installer, I can actually read it. Let me move it over away from my head and American English is the language. So let's go ahead, click next. It has not correctly chosen the central time zone in the US for me. It's chosen the Eastern time zone. So let me find somewhere in the central time zone and then I'll click next. English US is the default keyboard. That's correct for me. Then do we want to erase the disk and give the entire virtual hard drive of this virtual machine to WatOS or do we want to manually partition the drive? I'm just going to go ahead and let it do the automatic partitioning. Well, I say that I'm actually not going to do the automatic partitioning because WatOS, it looks like by default it's going to give nine gigs essentially of my 25 gig virtual hard drive over to a swap partition. That is absolutely insane. I'm not going to do that. So we're definitely going to do the manual partitioning. So let's go into the manual partition. Let's see if I remember how to manually partition something using the Calamaris installer. Let's do new partition table and master boot record is fine for the VM here. I'm going to have 25 gigs of free space. Let's go ahead and create something on that. We're going to create a primary partition, extend for file system, the mount point, the mount point should probably be slash, right? It should be root. And then we need to enable the boot flag and then hit OK. And I'm actually not going to bother creating a swap for the VM. There's no point. But if you needed to create a swap, then you would obviously not give the entire space of that drive to that partition. You'd save four gigs or whatever if you were doing this on physical hardware, save a few gigs for a swap partition and then create the swap. But again, it's just wasted space in a VM, so I'm not going to do the swap. Now it's asking about creating a username and password. So DT is my username, I called the VM here, WOT OS dash VRT. And then let's give a strong and complicated password to the DT user and then repeat the strong and complicated password. And then log in automatically without asking for a password that's not ticked on. I'm going to leave that not ticked on. I want to be forced to enter a password to enter all my computers for privacy reasons. Next, when we get our summary, location, good keyboard, good partition scheme, looks good. Just going to click install. And typically this portion of the installer takes about five to 10 minutes on my hardware. So I'm going to step away, make a cup of coffee. I'll be back once the installation has completed. And wow, that installation actually only took about two, maybe three minutes. Like this thing installed very quickly. So I'm assuming that it's pretty minimal out of the box. It probably doesn't install a lot of programs. So I'm going to go ahead and restart. Now you can see the checkbox here that's already ticked on. Leave that ticked on, click done. And it should reboot the VM and press enter to continue. And it should detach the ISO automatically for me. And it does. And now we boot into our freshly installed WOT OS R12. And we get to our login screen here. So my user was DT. And let's enter his super secure password. And once again, the screen resolution defaults to 1920 by 1440. This, you know, it makes the text very, very small here in the VM. But we can fix this. And this time when I fix it, it will be permanent because now we're actually changing the resolution on the installed WOT OS before when I changed it, it was temporary because we were inside a live environment. So that was just a one time fix. But now you can tell it to save that. And now every time I load this VM, it'll remember to default to 1920 by 1080 for the resolution. Now without going through the menu system yet, I can already tell you because of the installation process, because I've installed so many Linux distributions on this machine, hundreds of them, the fact that that installer took like two minutes. There's not going to be much in this menu system. I guarantee you that if I go into the menu system, let's see. Yeah. There is not very many programs installed on this thing. So that's kind of nice. If you like to install your own programs anyway, and a lot of distributions, they just install a suite of applications because they think that, you know, they'll pick and choose the right applications for the general public. Most computer users, they really don't care what text editor is there, what web browser is there, what music player is there. But if you're like me, you have your favorites of all of these particular kinds of programs. I don't mind that it ships not a lot out of the box because I'll install my own audio player and video player and text editor and whatever it happens to be. So under the accessories category, we have mouse pad, which is a plain text editor. It's the default plain text editor for the XFCE desktop environment. It's strange that they included that because leaf pad is the text editor for the LXDE desktop environment, which they're actually using LXDE, but they probably chose mouse pad because maybe mouse pad is a little better of a plain text editor. I don't know. I really haven't used mouse pad or leaf pad that much. Then we have a screenshot tool. Take screenshot. This looks like GNOME screenshot utility. It is. Screenshot3.38.0. I thought I recognized, yeah, which the GNOME, the new GNOME screenshot tool is actually really nice. I can understand why they included that. Vim is installed out of the box. Yay, right? This archiver is our archive tool for zip and unzip and targz and all of that stuff under graphics. There's nothing here. The document viewer, that's your PDF viewer, which, let's see which one they're using. Looks like they're using GNOME's. It's what I think this is. I don't have any about information here, but you know what? You can always get a program if, for whatever reason, a program doesn't give you like an about screen or anything to actually give you that information. Open a terminal and type xprop. For x properties, xprop, it's a command line utility. Your cursor is going to turn into an x. Click on the window that you want the x properties for. So I'm going to click on that window and you can see that that program is actually org.gnome.events. So that's GNOME's events. That is the PDF viewer, part of the default suite of GNOME applications. Also under graphics, we have G-thumb, which I haven't played with G-thumb before. It is a photo organizer. It looks like a photo manager image viewer, essentially what it is. It's for GNOME. Okay. Well, that would make sense why it's called G-thumb if it's a GNOME application. Again, I'm not familiar with G-thumb. I don't think I've ever used it. Firefox ESR is the default browser. It's Firefox ESR. It's the extended support release of Firefox. If I go to help and about Firefox, you can see this is Firefox ESR 102.4.0. Now keep in mind, this ISO was released five months ago, right? Back in November of 2022, I'm sure there's a lot of updates I could take. I'm not going to do that on camera, but it's based on Debian. So it's not going to be like a rolling release where like the whole system is going to have an update. See, just the things that are really important for security reasons. I bet there's some minor point updates for the web browser, for the kernel, maybe a couple of other applications, but it's not going to be like an Arch Linux update. Like if you downloaded Arch-based distribution and the ISO was five months old, you would probably have more than a thousand updates, right? It's not going to be like that on a Debian-based system. Also under the internet category, we have transmission, which is GNOME's BitTorrent client. That's actually a really fantastic BitTorrent client transmission. I install it on all of my machines. Under Office, we have nothing here. The PDF viewer is here, but nothing else. So no LibreOffice. Again, if you want LibreOffice, go install it. They're trying to keep this, obviously, they're trying to keep this minimal, right? That is the whole idea. They purposely didn't install any large programs other than Firefox. There's nothing installed here that you can say is like a big, heavy program. And obviously they're using LXDE, which uses the open box window manager. So it's going to be really light, really fast, really low on system resource usage, which is going to be perfect for those of you that have underpowered machines or older hardware. If you're looking for a distribution for a machine like that, maybe YOS would be appropriate. Under Sound and Video Pulse Audio Volume Control is here, of course. And then VLC is your media player, which makes sense. VLC is a fantastic video player. It also can play audio as well, so it can actually serve a dual purpose. That way, they didn't have to install two different programs, an audio player and a video player. VLC works fantastically at both. Under System Tools, of course, PCMan FM is the file manager. You guys have seen PCMan FM on practically most of my videos, right? Because PCMan FM is the file manager that I actually install on my host machines. Anytime you've seen me open a GUI file manager on camera, I'm always using PCMan FM. And partly, the reason I use PCMan FM is because in the early days of Linux, I fell in love with the open box window manager, which was often used on the LXDE desktop environment. And PCMan FM is the default file manager for LXDE. That's kind of how I discovered PCMan FM. If you have the GDeb package installer, and what this is, this is a program that allows you to install Debian packages, .deb file. So if you go to the internet and find a .deb package, how do you install that? Well, GDeb, I'll do it for you. So that's for installing those Debian packages, those third party Debian packages that are not in the repo. You know, it's a random Debian package you find on the internet, which you really should be careful about installing those, but sometimes it is necessary. We have GParted here, which is a partition editor, partition manager. It's not something that you really need on an installed distribution, right? It's good to have it in the live environment because people need to partition a drive in a live environment before the installation. But once a distribution has been properly installed, you probably shouldn't keep GParted around because new to Linux users might get in there and play with that thing and not realize that they could completely hose their system by playing with GParted. HTop is installed out of the box. And I've opened a lot of things here in the last few minutes. So system resource usage might be a little high here, but 332 megabytes of the six gigs of RAM that I gave this machine. So really, really light. So that is the beauty of using something like LXDE with open box. Also under system tools, we have LXTerminal is our terminal. So let me actually open the LXTerminal and zoom in. Let's do a uname dash R. The kernel they're on is 5.10. It makes sense you'd be on an older kernel being Debian based, right? This again, we're not on a rolling system here. Now let me run apt list dash dash installed and get a list of all the programs that were installed out of the box line by line here. And then what I'm going to do is I'm going to rerun that command and I'm going to pipe it into WC space dash L. WC is the word count program dash L. That flag is a line count flag. So how many lines of output were in that command? 1,440. So that is the number of packages that WatOS installs out of the box because I haven't installed anything else. So that is just what was installed in the default installation. Getting back into the menu system under the preferences category, we have a lot of your standard preference settings, things that you would see for your typical desktop environment, customized look and feel. That's going to be the LX appearance program, which is a program I install on all of my systems when I do standalone window managers, tiling window managers. I use a lot of the LXDE program. So I use LX appearance. This allows you to change the GTK theme and the icon themes, typically what you would use LX appearance for. Now you have to understand, let me open a window, changing the GTK theme changes the window, right? But it doesn't change the title bar theme because the part here, the top, the title bar, that is controlled by OpenBox, the window manager. It has its own theming. And if I go into the menu system, go into preferences, there is the OpenBox configuration manager, and you would select whatever OpenBox theme. And that would change the actual title bars of the windows. Other than that, on the panel, we have our sys tray, we have our clock, we have a screen locking icon, and we have a log out icon. Pretty standard panel, all right? If you've ever used any panel in any traditional desktop environment, or if you've ever used Windows, Mag, you'll know how to use the LXDE panel. Now let me right click on the desktop. I'm going to go into desktop preferences. Let's see if there are any other wallpapers to choose from other than this beach, because, I mean, it's a nice wallpaper, but let's just see what else is here. Let's see, that actually, yeah, that is nice, because it's a little darker. That would look good with a lighter theme, like a lighter color panel. So they do have a few things to choose from. That's just the WatOS logo splash. Let's see what this is. This is just like a starry night. And then wall is the name of this one. And it's some mountains, yeah, not much here for wallpapers, but honestly, I'd probably just go back to that second one that I chose. That's probably the best out of the three or four nature photography wallpapers that they have. Overall, WatOS R12, looks like a pretty solid release. I'm excited that I found a new distribution to hopefully keep track of in the future, because, again, Debian, like Debian, open box. I like open box, right? It's actually using the full LXDE desktop environment, which you don't see a lot of distributions use now, because LXDE, it kind of died a few years ago. And now, I think it sees some development now. You still have some distributions that will ship LXDE, but it has kind of been left behind. And I think that's unfortunate because it was always one of my favorite full desktop environments in the early days of Linux when I first switched. Now, before I go, I need to think of you special people. I need to think the producers of this episode. Gabe James Maxim, a homies to bald, Matt Mimit, Mitchell Royal, Paul West, Armored Dragon Bash, Chuck Commander, Ingrid George Lee, Marsha Methods, Nader, Yon, Paul, Peace, Arch, Infador, Politec, Realities for the Less Red Profit, Roland Tools, Devler, Williams, and a bit. These guys all these names. These are my high-steered patrons over on Patreon without these guys. This quick look at what OSR 12 would not have been possible. The show is also brought to you by each and every one of these fine ladies and gentlemen. All these names you're seeing on the screen right now. These are all my supporters over on Patreon. I don't have any corporate sponsors. I'm sponsored by you guys, the community. If you like my work, want to see more videos about Linux and free and open source software, subscribe to DistroTube over on Patreon. Peace, guys. I love a distribution that only installs the bare essentials, like Vium and H-Top.


Did you know that for every YouTube video there is a written transcript that you can access? I want to show you an example. I just uploaded this video a few hours ago and the transcript is already available. It usually is available sometimes 30 minutes, sometimes a few hours after a video is uploaded to YouTube and you can access the transcript whether it's your own video or someone else's video. So let me show you. Scroll down underneath a YouTube video and find the three dots. Click on the three dots and then click on Open Transcript. Now there it is. There's my complete written transcript that YouTube has used their artificial intelligence to sense what I am saying and it is usually pretty accurate. So you can use this to quickly look at what was said in the video without having to watch the whole video and then you can also use this to quickly jump to any section of the video. So for example, if I want to look at this section of the video right now, you can see I'm at zero. I just started playing the video but if I want to jump to this section, I simply click here and voila, it's jumped to one minute 56 seconds into the video. Now let me show you how to find a specific word or topic in the video. You simply use your browser's find function which on a Mac it's command F, on a Windows it's control F.  So for example, let's say I want to find where I talked about Facebook ads in this video. So I'm going to type in Facebook ads and there it is. It shows me that there are four instances where I talked about this in the video and there it is. It's put in orange there. You can quickly see it and I can use these arrows to go up and down to the next instance. So I'm going to click down and there's my second instance where I talked about it and click down again. Let's see here, you probably can't see. There it is, the third instance and then down again there's the fourth instance and like I said you could click on any aspect, sorry, any part of this transcript to jump directly there. So for example, right now I'm at one minute 56 seconds, if I click here I jump directly to 16 minutes 19 seconds and I can start playing the video. The Facebook ads one does have a part. So there you go. So I hope this is helpful and have fun checking out the written transcripts of any YouTube video that you come across, enjoy.


Hi, guys. This is Matt Posaka, personal training director at Meridian Fitness and Wellness in Brick. I wanted to talk today about some heart health, some different cardiovascular activities you can do to strengthen your heart, improve your cardiovascular endurance, and improve your overall fitness level to be a healthier person. Cardio equipment that's out on your floor at your local gym is going to be a great place to go. There's a lot of options there, but you can get creative with your workouts as well. Things like steps or plyo boxes hold a lot of options for cardiovascular training, and again, are going to work the body a little differently than your cardio machines will. Alicia's doing a step up here, but we're doing one leg at a time, a single leg movement, all right? She's got a good pace right now. If you want to just make sure we get a step up or even throw a little hop in there, there's a lot of different ways in this one movement to cardiovascularly work yourself. In this movement here, Alicia's going to be moving laterally, engaging some of the glutes a little bit more, again the quads, and getting her heart rate up by going back and forth over the step. Overall health is what we're going to look for as well as cardiovascular health, and this exercise is a great one to help you with that. Very popular step exercise that we see in group classes and on the floor when people are doing their training is taps on a step. A little quicker of a movement can be, you can slow it down based on your ability level, and it's one that can be performed pretty repetitively, so again, doing that movement over time to improve your cardiovascular health and get that heart rate up and maintain it at a higher level so you're burning a lot of calories. Before you start an exercise program, make sure you consult your physician to see if there's any contraindications that you should be aware of.


Sudan's top general Abdel Fattah al-Burhan said on Tuesday that the military agreed to a number of initiatives. These were suggested by Prime Minister Abdullah Hamdok, but civilian forces refused to engage in any dialogue. Speaking at his first news conference since he announced Monday's takeover, Burhan defended the armistice of power. He's saying he had oyster the government of Prime Minister Abdullah Hamdok to avoid a civil war. Abdel Fattah al-Burhan defended the army's seizure of power at a news conference on Tuesday, his first public speech since he announced Monday's takeover. Burhan accused politicians of incitement against the armed forces. He said Hamdok had not been harmed and had been brought to be killed. He also said that the military agreed to a number of initiatives. He said Hamdok had not been harmed and had been brought to Burhan's own home. Soldiers arrested the Prime Minister and other members of his cabinet on Monday. And hours later, Burhan appeared on TV to announce the dissolution of the Sovereign Council, a body set up to share power between the military and civilians. The military takeover brought a halt to Sudan's transition to democracy two years after a popular uprising toppled long-ruling autocrat Omar al-Bashir. An official at the health ministry said at least seven people had been killed in clashes between protesters and the security forces on Monday. Burhan said the military's actions did not amount to a coup, as the army had been trying to rectify the path of the political transition. Western countries have denounced the coup, called for the detained cabinet ministers to be freed and said they will cut off aid if the military does not restore power sharing with civilians.


Priscilla is such a light in the school of education. She leads us through the process of not only preparing our students well to be great teachers but also to represent Jesus Christ out there in the schools. She's always happy and excited to see us even if it's eight o'clock in the morning. And I absolutely adore that about her and I want to like continue that energy into my classroom. She still sees the wonder in the world. I think there's the sweetest moment of my day with Priscilla is coming to class early and she's there and you just get to talk about her life and what's going on in your own life. She is one of a kind. I was born in Oak Park, Illinois, which is outside of Chicago, but I was raised in Peoria and my favorite memories would be riding the horses, being on the swim team, being on the tennis team, golfing, water skiing on the river. We had lots of fun. I am married and have two grown sons and a horse and a dog. It's been an awesome career. I wouldn't change anything about it. I've taught preschool, kindergarten all the way through sixth grade. I've been a Title I reading specialist and I've also taught adults. I've been at Colorado Christian University for 29 years. I love it. I'm glad I chose it as a career. Well I've been at CCU for so long because I love the students and I love the staff and faculty and I love to be able to send Christians out into the schools and to make a difference for their students. So we try to train our students to be servant leaders. The School of Education has worked very hard to earn the reputation that we have. The National Council of Teachers of Quality has places in the top 2% nationwide of schools of education in the United States. We're licensed by Colorado Department of Education by Association of Christian Schools International and we have programs in special education, elementary, secondary, history, science and English, music education and we have a culturally and linguistically diverse strand and also reading literacy emphasis. The reward with the college students is when they're working with their own students and they come back with their stories of their epiphanies of how they made a difference, how they made a change, how their students understand what they were being taught because of the methods and the strategies and the content that they learned here at CCU. They're extremely well prepared to go out into the world and make education their profession.


The Millennium Development Goals are 8 targets set in 2000s by the United Nations that aim to eradicate extreme poverty, improve the health and welfare of the world's poorest people, and encourage the development of the world as a single unit. Set to be achieved by 2015, the MDGs have been backed by 193 countries since their creation. The eight goals are as follows. 1. To eradicate extreme hunger and poverty 2. To achieve universal primary education 3. Promotes gender equality and empower women 4. Reduce child mortality 5. Improve maternal health 6. Combat HIV, AIDS, malaria and other diseases 7. Ensure environmental sustainability 8. Develop a global partnership for development Each goal has its own distinct target set to be achieved for the year 2015. For example, for the eradication of extreme hunger and poverty, one target is the higher the proportion of people whose income is less than $1 a day. Over the course of 15 years since the creation of the MDGs, a global effort has been directed towards achieving these eight goals. Whilst there have been major advances, progress and improvements, many targets have not yet been reached. This is why the UN has established a post-2015 development agenda in order to continue to work on the issues that were highlighted 15 years ago. Although the MDGs were a big step towards the improved well-being of humans in this world, they were only the start. That is why the UN and its partners keep on fighting poverty, implementing intensive research on dangerous diseases and encouraging attention to the issue of environmental sustainability. For the last few months, we have all been excitedly preparing and anticipating this day and finally it has arrived. Throughout the next few days, you will have the opportunity to debate about current global issues that impact multiple areas ranging from the preservation of biodiversity in the world to the eradication of gender discrimination in education. The International Telecommunications Union has hosted Firmune for the last two years and today we are back to tackle the challenges associated with the Millennium Development Goals. Firmune is one of the few fully bilingual conferences in the world and this year it has assembled 600 participants from 15 different countries. Welcome to Firmune 2015.


Hello, we at Blackstar Amplification are proud to introduce you to the debut 50 Combo Amps. The debut 50 joins our highly successful smaller debut range and it takes it to the next level as the perfect plug-in and play 50 watt pedal platform. Here's some background tech for you. We have used MOSFETs in these low-noise preamps in a multi-stage design so that we can reproduce valve-like tones. We've designed a multi-stage amplifier using properties of MOSFETs that are similar to how a valve would behave and the desirable tones that guitar players enjoy. Our highly experienced R&D team focused in on ensuring the MOSFETs on this design were stabilized, recreating the tonal characteristics of an overdriven preamp valve after hours and hours of use. This means that the debut 50 will sound the same during the 100th gig as it does on the first. The concept of the debut 50 is a simple and elegant all-analog alternative to the gig-worthy entry-level digital modeling amplifiers. Ideal for pedal players, the debut 50 focuses more on tone and usability rather than the unwanted bells and whistles that are typically included with digital amps. Available in two attractive colour options, this two-channel amp is a 50 watt 1x12 combo that features a clean channel with two voicing options. An overdrive channel, a patented infinite shape feature aka ISF, a studio quality digital reverb, power reduction down to 5 watts and an effects loop. This is a traditional amp with a true analog signal path for the pre and param sections. It will appeal to the guitarist who doesn't require a feature-packed amp but instead looks for traditional tones that they can add some stomp boxes to. Since the beginning, the ethos behind the smaller debut amps was why should your tone have to suffer for your first practice amp. That ethos still remains, so why should your tone suffer on your first gig-worthy amp? With the debut 50, it won't and it's loud enough to gig. Let's check out some tones.


The study investigates the wear properties of epixie with Cissus quadrangularis stem fibre, CQSF, particulate-filled red mud composite using Teguchi L9 orthogonal array technique, and found that the hardness of the samples was increased by 10.7% for 5 weight percent red mud addition and 14.2% for 10 weight percent of red mud addition. The overall mean for the signal to noise, SON, ratio of the specific wear rate of the specimen was found to be 34.62 dB, respectively. The wear mechanism of the composite materials, after the abrasive wear test, was substantiated using scanning electron microscope, SEM, analysis.

So this is a demonstration of the Infrahyde and the suprahyde strap muscles the neck and a few structures in the anti-survival region This is the right side of the cadaver. This is the left side of the cadaver on this side We have reflected the sternocleidomastoid on the right side left side is still intact So let's take a look at what are the infrahyde strap muscles that we can see here This is the sternohyoid It has been partially cut while they were doing the embalming of the cadaver So it extends from the manabrium sterni all the way to the hyoid bone So this is the sternohyoid on the right side and this is the sternohyoid on the left side Which also has been partially damaged in the process of embalming So this is the superficial intra-hyoid strap muscle once we reflect This muscle we can see the second one This is the sternothyroid and this is it inserted onto an oblique line on the thyroid cartilage This is on the right side and when I lift this up we can see the sternothyroid on the left side That's the next deep and above the sternothyroid we have the next muscle that we can see here This is the thyroid hyoid which also starts from the oblique line of the cartilage and gets inserted on the hyoid And on the left side also we can see the thyroid hyoid And the final the most superficial of the strap muscle That we can see is this one This is the omohyoid And we can see the omohyoid has got two bellies The inferior belly of the omohyoid starts from the scapula There's an intermediate tendon here And this intermediate tendon is attached by means of a facial sling which we have retained And it is attached to the clavicle which we have reflected here And this is the superior belly of the omohyoid And we can see the superior belly of the omohyoid goes up and it gets attached to the Again to the hyoid bone So this is the omohyoid and this forms a boundary of many triangles that we have already seen on this side We can see a little bit because we have not reflected the sternocleomastoid We can see only the superior belly of the omohyoid getting inserted So these are the intrahyoid strap muscles The intrahyoid strap muscles are located in the muscular triangle or the so-called omotracheal triangle And they are all covered by the muscular part of the retracal pressure Now in this connection there is a very important clinical correlation The muscular part of retracal fascia They all get attached to the manubrium sternum because these muscles also get attached to the manubrium sternum So therefore there is no space potential space or otherwise between the muscular part of the retracal fascia and the thoracic cavity On the other hand There is another part of the retracal fascia which covers the thyroid gland here And we can see a little bit of the thyroid gland under here. This is the thyroid gland And the trachea that is called the visceral part of retracal fascia And the visceral part of retracal fascia extends all the way down into the anterior and to the superior media sternum So there is a potential space And my finger has gone into that potential space. It has gone into the superior media sternum So therefore infection in the visceral pre tracheal space From the neck Can travel into the anterior and to the superior media sternum where my finger is gone in So this is one root of spread of infection from the neck to the chest Next thing which I wanted to point out to you is that this intra-iron strap muscles. They are all supplied by branches of the Absorcer vicaris and we can see some of the neuro vascular partials which we have retained here These are the branches which are supplied the point to be remembered is that all these nerves They all come the muscles from below up and they supply the deep aspect of the muscles When we are doing a thyroid surgery We have to cut these strap muscles And we have to reflect them only then we can expose the full thyroid which is here Because the nerve supply is from below up if we cut these strap muscles lower down We will denovate the upper part of the muscle So therefore these muscles should be cut as high as possible So that the minimum portion of the muscle is denoved What is the function of the infrared strap muscles the infrared strap muscles as the term implies They either depress the higher bone or they fix the higher bone and by so doing they enable the supra higher muscles to work better And the action of the supra higher muscles is in deglutition and in mastication They help to lower the mandible and they also help in swallowing. So that brings me to the supra higher muscles that we can see here We cannot see all the supra higher muscles because the Submandibular salivary gland is very enlarged in this patient and we'll have to dissect it out But we can see some of the supra higher muscles for that We'll have to look on the under surface of the chin and if you look very closely here We can see one muscle here on this side Which I have lifted up and we can see the same muscle on this side also which I have lifted up This is the anterior belly of digastric This is the anterior belly of digastric on the left side and this is the anterior belly of digastric on the right side And we can see that both of them are meeting at an apex near the symphysis mentai And at the base this is the higher bone So therefore this is the submental triangle Which is shared by both the sides And the floor of the submental triangle is formed by this muscle here where my finger is located And that floor is the Mylohyde muscle with the median raffae in between So this is the submental triangle And what are the contents of the submental triangle? One content we can already see right now here in front of us This is these other Beginning the origin of the submental vein And we can see that there are not one but there are several The submental veins start in the submental region and they all travel down And as they travel down they have a communication with the facial vein and we can see that very clearly on the right side Not only that The submental veins and the lower part of the neck they form what is known as an anterior jugular vein on the right side And an anterior jugular vein on the left side and we can see that here We can see the right anterior jugular and the left anterior jugular These are all located in the muscular triangle or the omotracheal triangle and then In the suprasternal space of burns which is located here The two sides Establish a communication with each other and that is known as the jugular venous arch and we can see that here And then after that each anterior jugular vein Goes to the lateral cervical region and it opens into the external jugular vein But in this patient as I mentioned earlier, there is no external jugular vein So they open directly into the subcaven vein in this patient So this is the course of the anterior jugular vein and their formation So these are the structures that we can see here in the anterior cervical region Especially in the muscular triangle And the final point is that one of the most important contents of the muscular triangle or the omotracheal triangle is the thyroid gland And we can see the thyroid gland here, which is covered by the Visceral layer of the pre tracheal fascia Thank you very much for watching. If you have any questions, please put them in the comment section below Dr. Sanjay Sanyal signing out


The Islamic State of West Africa province, Iswap, said in an audio recording that Abu Bakr Sheqal, leader of rival Nigerian militant Islamist group Boko Haram, was dead. Sheqal died around May 18 after detonating an explosive device when he was pursued by Iswap fighters following a battle. A person purported to be Iswap leader Abu Musab al-Banawi said on the audio recording. Sheqal's death could lead to an end of a violent rivalry between the two groups, enabling Islamic State of West Africa province Iswap to absorb Boko Haram fighters.


So we've seen that the big particle partition function or big system partition function if we have a bunch of identical and independent particles can be written as the partition function for each individual particle raised to the nth power if we have n of them. That derivation that we talked about in the previous lecture made an important assumption that we need to spend a little bit of time talking about now and that assumption is that the particles were distinguishable from one another that I can tell the difference between them even though I've been calling them identical particles I assume that I could distinguish between them in some way and when I made that assumption is when we said if the total energy can be broken down into the sum of energy for part a and energy for part b I've just put labels on the individual parts of the system so I'm assuming somehow I can tell part a apart from part b if I'm talking about two identical molecules I'm assuming I can tell the difference between molecule one and molecule two and there's some circumstances where that's perfectly reasonable. So for example let's suppose I have let's stick with the case where I have only two subsystems or two particles maybe those particles are in completely separate containers I have a container containing this molecule and across the room I have a container containing molecule number two they might be identical molecules but I can tell which one is molecule a and which one is molecule b I can walk to one side of the room make a measurement of the energy and then I know I'm talking about the energy of particle a walk to the other side of the room make a measurement of this particle and I know I'm talking about particle b so those are identical particles chemically identical but distinguishable because I know which one I'm talking about I can put a label on them there's other circumstances as well I don't have to put them on opposite sides of a room in separate boxes if I just physically localize them in some way if I have a surface and I have molecule a stuck to the surface over here molecule b stuck to the surface over there they don't have to be on opposite sides of room they only have to be some short distance apart but as long as they're not moving if they're stuck where they are I can probe the system and make a measurement of this particle particle a measure this particle particle b and I can tell the difference sometimes the label is something we call more literally a label maybe particle a contains a different isotope than particle b so particle a has a carbon 13 isotope and particle b has a carbon 12 isotope so I know when I'm making a measurement if I'm measuring the energy of the particle with the C 13 that's the one I'm calling a C 12 is the one I'm calling be so point of these illustrations is to illustrate that there are plenty of cases where the particles are in fact distinguishable from one another identical particles that have some difference either some geometric or spatial difference between each other that allows me to tell the difference between them and in that case this expression is perfectly fine but more often we have identical particles that we really can't tell the difference between for example if I were to talk about the box containing a bunch of molecules avogadro's number of molecules in a container of a gas then I don't really have any way of distinguishing one of the molecules of the that gas from another if I make a measurement of one molecule I don't know if it's the same molecule or a different molecule as I make a measurement of sometime later because they're not confined to different regions or localized to some region in space and they don't have name tags to separate them from one another so turns out this is not the right result when I have indistinguishable particles and the reason that's true let's take a simple example with just n equals 2 so if I have two identical particles if I were to write the full system partition function as the individual molecule partition function squared then that looks like something like the partition functions remember are the sum of the Boltzmann factor so I've got a bunch of different energy levels let's go ahead and label those energy levels one two three four five and so on the identical particles have the same list of energy levels somewhere I'm paying attention to energy level I and some different energy level J each of these and so I haven't yet squared this term but each of these single molecule partition functions is a sum of a bunch of partition some of a bunch of Boltzmann factors somewhere in there there's a e to the minus E I over KT somewhere in there also there's the e to the minus EJ over KT for some particular I and some particular J when I square it I multiply by the same thing when I complete that square when I when I multiply them out there's going to be one term that looks like e to the minus EI times e to the minus EJ there's going to be one term that looks like e to the minus EJ times e to the minus EI and of course there's going to be a I term and lots of other terms that I haven't written down but the point is the square of the individual partition functions includes this term with EI and EJ in this order and it also includes a mirror image term with a J and then an I in the opposite order if the particles are distinguishable then both those terms deserve to be in the partition function that's like saying system A molecule A has energy I and molecule B has energy J or EJ this term says system A has energy EJ and molecule B has energy E sub I so I can tell the difference between those A and I and B and J is different than A and J and B and I those are two different microstates of the system I could make measurements and tell them apart but if the particles are indistinguishable then I can't tell the difference between whether molecule A is in this state and molecule B is in that state or vice versa because the molecules don't have name tags all I know is that one of the molecules is in state I and one of the molecules is in state J and I can't tell by definition because they're indistinguishable I can't tell the difference between them and what that means is I've over counted the number of microstates this microstate and this microstate are the same as each other I don't get to count them twice so I've counted each one of these states exactly twice as often as I should have because there's two different ways two different orders in which I could have written these two terms or another way of saying that is the number of permutations of I and J because there's two of them is two factorial permutations for the more general case if I write Q to the N so not just one partition function times another but I'm gonna have a whole long list of these N of them multiplied together there's gonna be N different permutations of each one of these terms and if the particles are indistinguishable I've over counted by the N factorial different ways of reshuffling those terms that look different algebraically but are in fact exactly the same if the particles are indistinguishable so actually if we do have indistinguishable particles the right way to calculate the partition function for the whole system is the single molecule partition function raise the N power and then divide that by N factorial to fix this over counting so when we have indistinguishable particles that's what we need to do when we have distinguishable particles we don't need to worry about dividing by the N factorial so we need to calculate the partition function differently with the shortcut depending on whether the particles are distinguishable or indistinguishable and as one last note I'll point out a common source of confusion which is this apparent similarity between the words identical and indistinguishable so make sure to keep these two terms in mind and they have the meaning that they had when we were talking about these examples here when I say two particles are identical in this context what I mean is that they're chemically identical they're the same molecule with the same components the same atoms that make up the molecule and so on so chemically identical molecules can be distinguishable if they're in different places and if they're going to remain in those different places or if they have different isotopic labels for example when I say indistinguishable I mean something even stronger than saying they're they're identical particles are indistinguishable if not only are they the same molecule but there's no physical way I can tell them apart so make sure and keep those two points in common two points in mind so now we know how to calculate the full system partition function for independent subsystems or for identical particles that are either distinguishable or indistinguishable the next step is to figure out how to actually use these partition functions to do something useful and calculate some properties of the system that we're interested in


Hi everyone, Sean with jaspyscasebrakes.com here doing 2020 Panini Prism football hobby, two box break, two random teams each, number 14. So this is the second two box break from this case. 15 is in the store now. So 15, 16, 17, and 18 will be the remaining boxes from this case. So let's keep it going. The way this works, 16 spots, everyone gets two random teams, NFL all card ship straightforward. So since it's two spots, two teams per spot, here's the customer list for George, from George Hanawai, last spot mojo, back up to Eric Twaddle. Copy this list and double it up. So George Hanawai, last spot mojo once and twice, back up to Eric, first spot purchased and the Cardinals down to the Washington football team. Dice rule to randomize both lists and pair them together a two and a two four times. Fourth and final time, Eric Twaddle down to Carlos Katnok. Four times on the teams, one fourth and final time from the Cardinals down to the Chargers. So let's see who ended up with what.  So those are the matchups. Uh, trade window open. While we figure out which boxes we're gonna do, let's sort this. So there's the list, so everybody can see potential trade options there. Um, you can see on the screen, I have the boxes, remember we put X's on there to notify that these were from the same case. So, as you can see on the Nick cam there, we've got ten boxes in front of me. Left side is gonna be one through five, six through ten. On the right side we're gonna figure out which two boxes we're gonna do. So let's get back over here. So we're going one through ten. Box one is box two, and the second box we're gonna do is box nine. So we'll see me over here. Box two. So here's the top two boxes. We're gonna take those down. So there's two, put one back, and then nine down here. So let's take off the top four, and put the last three back. So there you go. So there's two and nine. Uh, it doesn't look like there's any talks of trades, so everybody's happy with their teams. So, let's print and rip. There you go. So here's our two boxes. These eight are gonna go back here. Like I said, number 15 is in the store now, and we can break it tonight. Hopefully, here's our final list. Like I said, last spot mojo, George Honowai with the Ravens, and the Seahawks. We're gonna make them in six packs. Is it family you tell people about, or family you just talk about, like, inside of your own family conversations? Joe, I think you stole my green pen today. I think you grabbed, I think you have both of our green pens now, just to heads up. I went to grab my pen, and I was like, what? Where'd it go? Box one. Good luck, everybody. Saquon Barkley, Orange to 249 for the New York Giants, Bill Doherty, Joe Burrow, Cincinnati Bengals. There you go, Grant. Derek Brown for the Carolina Panthers is our other rookie. Yeah, I went to grab it, and I was like, I was like, I already know who took it. Tom Brady, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Natalie Hill, Gabriel Davis, rookie Silver, for the Buffalo Bills, Jay Goans, Jake Fromm, to 75, also for the Buffalo Bills, Jay Goans, Isaiah Simmons, and Devin DuVernay, our rookies. Simmons for the Cardinals, Eric Twaddle, DuVernay for the Ravens, George Honowai, last spot mojo. I knew you did. I literally, like, in the middle of the break, I went to write, like, somebody's name on a redemption or something. Also, I was like, oh, it was right there with my other pen and my blade. Jonathan Allen, Purple, to 125 for Washington and Sean Maddock. Ben Danucci for the Cowboys, going to Jeremy Moeller and Ross Blacklock for the Texans and Natalie Hill. Kyler Murray, Arizona Cardinals, Eric Twaddle, Jaylin Hertz, Philadelphia Eagles, Jeremy Moeller, Ben Rothesberger, Blue Wave, 87 out of 199, for the Pittsburgh Steelers, Natalie Hill, AJ Dillon, going to the Green Bay Packers, Grant Barrick, and Antoine Winfield Jr., for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, that's going to Natalie Hill. Gino Atkins, Silver, for the Cincinnati Bengals, Grant Barrick, Michael Vick, to 249 for the Atlanta Falcons, Sean Maddock, J.K. Dobbins for the Baltimore Ravens, George Honowai, Bradley and Nye for the Cowboys, Jeremy Moeller. Oh, Brendan, I'm assuming they were broken today? Joe, probably? Maybe not. Stefan Diggs, Blue, to 99, Buffalo Bills, Jay Goins, Anthony McFarland for the Steelers, going to Natalie Hill and Grant Delpit for the Browns, going to Daniel Katz. Joe says he didn't. I guess so? I'm just here for the good looks. All the rest of that. So here's the second half of that box, and our first auto is Daryl Taylor, for the Seattle Seahawks. These autos were not turned around. George Honowai, last spot mojo, Clevon Cheson for the Jaguars, going to Carlos Kadnok and Cam Akers for the Rams, Eric Twaddle, our rookies, Shaquille Griffin, Green to 175 for the Seahawks, George Honowai, last spot mojo, Michael Pittman Jr. for the Colts, Daniel Katz and DJ Dallas for the Seahawks, George Honowai, our rookies, and our second auto, Henry Ruggs, for the Raditz and Patrick Garcia. Joe likes that. Jared Pinkney for the Falcons, Sean Maddock, Jalen Johnson for the Bears, Eric Twaddle, our rookies. Patrick Mahomes for the Kansas City Chiefs, Grant Barrick, Ricky Williams, Red Wave to 149, for the Dolphins, Keith Rothschild, E. Isaiah Coulter for the Texans, that is Natalie Hill and Colin Johnson for the Jaguars, Carlos Kadnok, our rookies. Dwayne Haskins to 175 for Washington and Sean Maddock, Zach Moss for the Buffalo Bills, Jay Cohen, C. D. Lamb for the Dallas Cowboys, Jeremy Moeller, Anthony Gordon for the Seahawks, George Honowai, and Xavier McKinney for the Giants, and Bill Doherty, I think.  You probably hate it, but I love it. Wentworth. Love that show. The old episodes were obviously the best, but I still watch the new, just because I have to. But the old ones, the original storyline, the original characters was great. Cool box, too. Keyshawn Vaughn, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Natalie Hill, Hunter Renfro to 249 for the Raiders and Patrick Garcia. Noah Igbenagani for the Dolphins, that's going to Keith Rothschild and Christian Fulton for the Titans and Grant Barrick. Tom Brady, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Natalie Hill. I think we got our first auto coming up. Kenny Clark, Green Bay Packers, Grant Barrick. Looks like Dolphins colors. Could it be? It is a dolphin. Rayquan Davis for the Miami Dolphins and Keith Rothschild. We're looking forward, but he's still probably pretty good. Denzel Mims for the Jets, Natalie Hill, AJ Eponaessa for the Bills, Jay Goans. Oh, Neighbors is great. Oh, is that it? I was thinking of the Seth Rogen one. That's a good one. Julio Jones, Green Scope to 75 for the Atlanta Falcons, Shawn Matic. Devin Oceasi for the Patriots, Patrick Garcia, Kenneth Murray for the Chargers, Carlos Kattenach. Oh, we got a redemption. I only know of one person that's redemption in this. CJ Henderson, it's the only one I've seen so far. CJ Henderson for the Jaguars. Carlos Kattenach, Logan Wilson for the Bangles, Grant Barrick. Get your guesses in on that. The Shawn Watson Purple to 125, Houston Texans, Natalie Hill, Jeremy Chin for the Panthers. That's going to Grant Barrick and Justin Herbert for the Chargers and Carlos Kattenach. Actually, I don't know if he is Jacob. He might be. The only one I've seen is he's a really big defensive end. Happens to be number two overall pick. That's the only one I've seen. Ricky Jackson, Silver for the, I don't know why I looked at the back, it's not numbered, for the New Orleans Saints, Keith Rothschild. Jared Pinkney to 175 for the Falcons and Shawn Matic. James Prosh for the Ravens, George Hanoi and Tua Taghavaialoa for the Miami Dolphins and Keith Rothschild. There you go. So we've seen Burrow, we've seen Herbert and we've seen Tua. Let's see who the auto is. Rookie autographs, card 383, C-H-A-S-E-Y-O-U-N-G. Chase Young, it's the only one I've seen. Washington Shawn Matic, there you go. He might be Jacob.   I liked the little sound clip of him talking with Mike Tomlin when they played the other day. And Mike Tomlin said, I hope I never get to get to coach a player like you. He was just like, why, what do you mean? He goes, because to get a player that looks like you, that means you have to lose like 14 or 15 games and I don't ever want that to happen. I was like, that's pretty good. They're very good. I mean, first off, it's Ron Rivera. You knew that Washington's defense was going to be good when they brought him over. The biggest question was, what was Dwayne Haskins going to do for them? And it looks like Ron Rivera is going to find somebody else to do what he needs. I still got hope for Haskins. Cool. And second half of box two. You got a gold? Gold emergent, Leviska, Chadalt Jr. 10 out of 10. And that's his jersey number. Nice. Jacksonville Jaguars, Carlos Kotnack, rookie gold, Matt Ryan, Blue Wave to 199, Atlanta Falcons, Sean Matik, Justin Jefferson for the Minnesota Vikings, Eric Twaddle, James Morgan for the New York Jets, Natalie Hill, Jamal Adams for the CLC Hawks, George Honowei. Oh, I don't know why I'm reading those. Those are just regular base cards. They're still shipping, but it's not the stuff we're looking for. Jacob Eason, rookie orange to 249 for the Colts, Daniel Katz, Jerry Judy, Denver Broncos, Jay Goins, and Anne Fernay Jennings for the New England Patriots and Patrick Garcia. I haven't seen any of those parallels, the emergence or anything like that numbered yet. So that's kind of cool. Didn't even know they had those numbers. Brian Bosworth to 99 for the Seahawks, George Honowei, Clyde Edwards-Elair for the Kansas City Chiefs, Grant Barrick, Antonio Gandy-Golden for Washington, and Sean Matik. Jaylin Hertz for the Philadelphia Eagles, Jeremy Moeller, Brendan Ayuk for the 49ers, Bill Doherty, Will Fuller. Why am I reading that one again? Still not rookie. Keenan Allen, Red Wave, for the Los Angeles Chargers, Carlos Kotnok. I almost said Kansas City Chiefs for Keenan Allen. As a Chargers fan, I'm disgusted. Jake Fromm, Buffalo Bills, Jay Goins, Kyle Duggar for the New England Patriots, and Patrick Garcia. Sterling Shepherd, Silver going to the Giants, and Bill Doherty. Alvin Kamara to 175 for the Saints, Keith Rothschild, Joshua Kelly for the Chargers, Carlos Kotnok, and Chase Young for the Washington football team, and Sean Matik. And that's our break. That was 2020 Panini Prison Football Hobby Two-Box Break, two random teams with each spot, number 14 from jaspyscasebreaks.com. I'm Sean. Thanks for hanging out. I'll see you next time.
