just now I see only two centers who have raised their hand NIT Trichy and Pillai Panvel. So, let me go there just two questions per center and I will restrict myself to may be three centers these are two here and I will wait for I will take questions from one more. Good morning sir, enthalpy equal to u plus p v sir, everything internal energy pressure volume all our properties why do you require this extra property H and this H is any direct relation with heat transfer that is first question and second question is in free expansion like half of the part of the vessel is filled with vacuum and half of his vacuum and another is some matter is there if you remove that partition inside the inside the total vessel that molecules are moving. So, thereby they are doing some work. So, they are doing some work means some energy is they are giving. So, where that energy is coming from you said that dq is 0 and dw is 0. I think some work is going on there might be some change in enthalpy that is what I want to say over to you sir thank you and one more one doubt is which is a which properties neither extensive nor intensive thank you sir over to you. Since in one short you have asked three questions I will restrict myself to the answering these three questions. The first question was what is H well we said that there are different types of properties we said primitive properties like pressure, volume, velocity then basic thermodynamic properties or inherent thermodynamic properties and there are just three of these one property defined by each law of thermodynamics. First law defines energy 0th law defines temperature and today we will use the second law to define entropy. So, when it comes to property in our set we have primitive properties plus three basic thermodynamic properties and these are simply e or u t and today we will take up s. Apart from this we have what are known as defined or derived properties. These are just short forms and these are forms for convenience one such property is the enthalpy H and this is defined as u plus p v that is it. Do not try to as ascribe any direct meaning to these because we will see when we come to open systems and we have already seen that even for fluid systems when you have a constant pressure process this u plus p v turns up together. So, it is useful to have a short form H for it. Similarly, we have seen yesterday C v and similarly C p these are defined or derived properties these are not basic properties it is convenient for us to work in terms of C p for many fluids over a reasonably useful range of temperature. We find that u and H are almost linear functions of temperature and hence the slope of that if we define we can given the temperature difference we can easily determine the either the enthalpy difference or the internal energy difference. Hence it is good to define these short forms C v and C p. Later on we will come across other short forms on Monday they will be you know Gibbs energy Helmholtz energy and so on. So, there is nothing special these are just short forms for convenience I think that takes care of question one about the free expansion. You talked that free expansion means molecules moving from one side of the system to another side of the system and because they are moving they are doing work I would like to mention here that we do not have to go and talk about molecules. We know from our school physics and chemistry background that all matter including gases liquid solids are made of molecules. But our classical thermodynamics engineering thermodynamics all the basic stuff including second law entropy can be derived without talking about molecules. So, we do not have to think of free expansion in terms of molecules. If you realize that there is something like that it is ok. In fact just as a side tracking or a diversion we will talk about how free expansion in principle can be reversed and we will talk of a funny creature called the Maxwell's daemon. But that is not really our main stream thermodynamics that is on the border line of classical and molecular thermodynamics. Then you made a statement that just because a molecule is moving it is doing work that is not true remember even if you consider that single molecule as a system with a boundary surrounding it well it is a thermodynamic system at the microscopic level. But when it does work it has to interact with some other system just because it is moving it is not doing any work. Yesterday we took an illustration that in vacuum a free falling body say a ball neglect air resistance a ball going up and down as a projectile it is not doing any work all that is happening is its energy is being maintained constant because there is no heat transfer there is no work transfer. But it is the total energy which is remaining constant it is the as it goes up kinetic energy reduces potential energy increases when then as it comes down potential energy decreases kinetic energy increases. There is only a redistribution of energy there is no work done because remember for work to be done there must be two systems and there should be an interaction between the two systems that means work should be done by system A on system B and system B should say yes I am being worked upon by system A. Then the third thing about extensive and intensive properties these this is simply a classification and I have already given you the definition I think all you wanted was an illustration of a property which is neither intensive nor extensive. And this can be created but one property which is obviously neither extensive nor intensive is area if you take a volume as our system and lets its area be A naught. And consider a partition which splits it into say a part A I will use small letters here so as not to confuse with the capital A for and then you will notice that the area of A and area of B do not sum up to the total area A naught because the area of A will be the area on the outer surface which contributes to A naught plus the area on the partition which does not contribute to A naught. So, when you sum up this area you will not have it equal to A naught and you agree that in the general case A naught is not equal to area of B nor equal to area of B. So, the area of a system surface area of a system is a property which is neither extensive nor intensive. We do not have to really worry about this because area by itself at least in our illustrations on thermodynamics does not play a very major role. Now, that was enough from Trichy. Let me go to Panvel. Over to you Panvel. Can you elaborate the degrees of freedom for a vapor phase? The question was the degrees of freedom in the vapor phase. Let me say that when we have the phase diagram, let me draw the reasonably complete phase diagram. This is the triple point, this is the critical point, this is solid, liquid and vapor phases. Degree of freedom means that let us take a simpler version because we are not going to look at mighty component mixtures in this course. For us degree of freedom means how many of these intensive properties P and T, we can vary slightly and still remain in the same type or same phase of system. For example, if you are here what we call superheated vapor then I have some pressure some temperature. I can vary the pressure slightly without changing the temperature and I will still be in the vapor phase. Similarly, I can change the temperature without varying the pressure and I will still be in the vapor phase. That means I have the ability to slightly vary pressure and temperature independent of each other and still remain in the vapor phase where I was earlier. Same thing will be true if I am within the liquid phase or I am within the solid phase. So, when you have only solid or only liquid or only vapor, we say we are in a single phase domain and we have two degrees of freedom. That means P and T can be independently varied and that also means that to locate a point on this, I have to specify both pressure as well as temperature as in case of superheated steam. Superheated steam at 10 bar does not mean anything. You have to say superheated steam at 10 bar and may be 250 degree Celsius or 300 Celsius something like that. Now take a point which is on this line and I am considering a location x and at x I have liquid and vapor together. So, the characteristic of the system is liquid and vapor in equilibrium. Out here it was vapor only, no trace of liquid, no trace of solid. Now this is a two phase situation. Why two phase? Because you have a fixed pressure, you have a fixed temperature, but if you take various parts of the system, the specific volume or density is not uniform. If you take a small part of the system which is in the liquid, suppose there are droplets of liquids and bubbles of vapor, consider a small subsystem in that which contains only the liquid. It has a density, a slightly higher density. Take another subsystem which is in the vapor part say in a bubble, then it has a lower density. So, at the same pressure and temperature you have parts of the system which have distinct density. These parts are known as phases, that is a basic definition of a phase and because you have two distinct phases here, one liquid and one vapor with two distinct specific volumes or two distinct densities. We have a two phase situation and the phase rule you have the formula and if you substitute number of phases two, you will find that there is only one degree of freedom and it is consistent because I want to remain in the two phase situation and if I want to remain in the two phase situation, I cannot change the pressure while keeping the temperature constant because if I keep the temperature constant and increase the pressure, sorry if I keep the pressure constant and increase the temperature, I will go into the superheated phase, single superheated zone with a single phase. I will get away from my two phase situation. Similarly, if I reduce the temperature, I will go into the liquid phase. Again, I go away from the two phase situation and the same thing if I maintain the temperature constant and only increase or decrease the pressure, I will end up with the single phase liquid or a single phase vapor. So, if I want to remain in the two phase situation, then if I change pressure, I have to change my temperature correspondingly. If I increase my pressure, say from here to here, I must increase my temperature from here to here, I have to go along the curve and that means, if I select to change P, I have to change T. If I still want to remain in the two phase situation and that means, I cannot select P and T independently. If I change P, there should be a corresponding change in T and if I change T, there should be a corresponding change in P and that means, out of P and T, I can select only one and that means, I have a one degree of freedom. I think that explains that. Now, let me take one more center M K S S S Pune. Come in Pune, over to you. Good morning sir. I have a question regarding the zeroth law. In the discussion of the zeroth law, two systems were considered by separated by a diathermic wall and it was asked to pick the state of system A and try out various states of system B and check whether there occurs any heat interaction. My question is, without defining the temperature, yet how we can check whether there occurs any heat transfer. This is my first question and second question by the state postulate first, first state postulate. The state of the system can be defined only by primitive properties and in Mollier chart, we still can define the state of the system. Then, can we call H and S as primitive properties, over to you sir. The first question was about zeroth law and I think by saying talking about that state postulate that the state can always be defined in terms of primitive properties. You have answered it more or less yourself, but you have not been able to appreciate the link. You said that like yes, we take a diathermic partition and we have two systems A and B, fix one system in a state say A 1 and try out various states of system B. Then, you asked we have not defined temperature. So, how do you define the state of system B, different states of system B and the answer is in that state postulate. The very first state postulate that we talked about that the state of any system can be defined only in terms of primitive variables. That means, if it is a fluid system I can take mass pressure volume as the variables and if I change of course, it will be a closed system simplicity. So, you can change volume and pressure and you can have different states of the system B. So, that is the first part. The second question you asked related to Mollier diagram, see the state postulate says that it is possible, it is always possible to define a state only using primitive variables or primitive properties. But, since other properties now get related to this primitive properties, remember the next state postulate that there is only a restricted number of properties which are needed to define the state of a system. If you take a simple fluid system number of two way work modes is one. So, for a system of fixed mass you need only two properties and for a fluid system the two properties would be two primitive properties for a fixed mass system would be say pressure and volume. So, all other properties can be defined in terms of pressure and volume, but you do not always have to define the state in terms of primitive properties. You can define the system the state of the system in terms of any two convenient properties. Now, it turns out that of the two primitive properties which easily come to our mind that is pressure and volume. Pressure is very easily measurable, but volume is something which is not so easily measurable except when your system has a very regular geometric shape like a sphere or a rectangular parallelepiped real life systems will have very complex shapes. So, measuring volume and keeping track of changing volume is not that easy whereas, pressure measurement is easy keeping track of changes is also easy. So, instead of pressure and volume we take pressure and some other variable typically from the ease of measurement and appreciation and feel temperature happens to be the other variable. So, that is why whenever we talk of a state of a system by default we talk of pressure and temperature, but pressure and temperature are not the only useful properties you have energy you have specific volume or density we have enthalpy so, in Mollier diagram we use enthalpy and entropy because later on when we consider open systems and second law we will find that entropy and enthalpy and entropy are significant variables and because they are significant variables we plot H s diagram, but H s diagram is not the only diagram which we should look at depending on what we are going to study what we are going to appreciate and what we are going to analyze. We will be looking at projections of state space on the p v plane, the p v diagram, the temperature entropy diagram, sometimes the temperature volume diagram and for some traditional reasons the refrigeration people plot their cycles on the pressure enthalpy diagram. So, there is the common thing is two properties because we are using fluid systems which are simple compressible systems which two properties that is left to the person who is handling that system who is analyzing that system. I think that should satisfy you I think it is coming to 9.30 and today I want to spend enough time on the second law of thermodynamics so, I am stopping the interaction at this point just now.


Hello, this is Todd Taylor the Vanjo Man coming to you live from my studio from Nashville, Tennessee to Spartanburg, South Carolina When I'm touring or no matter where I'm at I love watching Trucker Josh TV and thank you Trucker Josh for pulling that freight from Canada to USA and everywhere you go Without truckers, you know, we wouldn't have a lot of food or anything. May God bless you safe travels happy to say that this time running through the US delivering this lumber and Running back up to Canada. I'm just tipping in here. I'm seeing that all of the stores here are now adopting All of the measures that we've that we have in place in Canada as well, which is great to see for social distancing They have like lines on the floor. They were enforcing it at the I stopped at Walmart for some quick groceries Just real quick in and out They were they had the same social distancing measures enforced only allowing a certain amount of people into the building at a time So they implemented it probably about a week or two after we did and I had come down just during that period before they Implemented these new measures. So I thought that they weren't taking it very serious and they thought that they weren't As as a general where I was traveling anyways didn't feel like they had any measures in place But that's changed now and even this Little gas station where I'm at now. I just went in there to wash my hands real quick use the bathroom Grab a coffee while I was in there and I'm not able to pour my own coffee anymore at least here in Wisconsin. I mean every state's different, right? They pour for me and before she even grabbed the cup for me She sanitized her hands put on gloves and then she grabbed a cup poured me my coffee and I didn't have to touch anything So it was great. So they've really upped their measures here Sort of to be in line with what we were doing up in Canada. It's good to see it's good to see that everyone's being careful It's good. So let's all continue being careful and hopefully hopefully we can get through this soon I'd really like a date. I wish we could have a date to be like this is the date When we go back to normal if it's September 30th, it's September 30th, but a nice date would be nice, but Alas The world we live in is very unpredictable and it changes day by day hour by hour. So Let's get to trucking though Today should be a little bit more of an exciting day than yesterday Everything goes smoothly and goes right right. We're here at our shipper Ensuring that when we go in there, we won't be speaking moistly on anyone Have I beaten that joke into the ground yet? You can thank our prime minister It's the gift that keeps on giving All right So this is gonna be an interesting Interesting pickup because They're gonna load me at a dock Guess I should get this stuff moved. I want it right up against the step here Yeah, you're gonna drive right on here and plop it on here And then I've got a tarp it and then I go pick up my other stuff Not very often I back into a dock anymore Hey, whatever works, whatever works. I don't mind I gotta go move those tarps. I'm gonna start so I'll be right back So we're quite a ways down the road in Menominee, Wisconsin on our way back already both our pickups done First pick up half of it is tarped Half of it's under there This is the other half of it And our second pickups back here. It's three bundles of hardwood lumber It's going to Steinbeck actually I'm gonna deliver this thing to moral and the other stuff I'll deliver Thursday morning probably That's us going to Winnipeg bit of a mismatched load, but it's getting us back. It's getting us moving My hands smell like soap as should yours people are not social distancing That's okay. They're living in the same truck. So it doesn't matter because you never know could be his wife That's half his age You never know wash our hands take a quick bathroom break my hands again We made it up to the Speedway truck stop I think that's what it's called Speedway speed lines something like that Just before clear water on the way west in Minnesota on I-94 forget what exit it was We stopped there for the night found a good spot off on our own had a great sleep Today, which is gonna be tomorrow's vlog We go the rest of the way which is about another six hours and I have all day to do it because I don't deliver My first stop in Steinback till tomorrow the next day in the morning. So I got all day to do six hours of driving Across the border today. Everything should be ready. They said that my My bills and customs papers are already and in order. So they should be ready for me at the border I'll go for as soon as I deliver my second stop, which will be in Winnipeg Right after I deliver Steinback So I go to Steinback put a Winnipeg deliver it and then I I made myself available to keep going right away And they made some kind of comment about Jackson, Tennessee. I cannot confirm that at this point I told them right away is off of I didn't even hesitate. I said, yep. Yeah, I'm your man. Let's go Jackson, Tennessee Let's go But if that comes to pass or not We'll see hopefully they got something for me that I can just Get going right away. It's Because I just want to keep moving. I'm just in the mood to work The truck has been running very well. I keep going going going on I'm gonna have to go all summer pretty much because of the the bad first quarter that I had the bad first quarter that We all had plus on top of that the extra Bad first quarter that I had because of all the maintenance. That's why my quarter was bad but you know with everything sort of On a decline right now as well there's less stuff moving around and you know, I just want to grab up and gobble up everything I can and Hall as much freight as I can during this and hopefully hopefully we can make it through it and come out the other side Relatively unscathed, but there will be you know scratches and marks and scars a little bit from it, but As long as our heart's still beating just food in the fridge at home And fueling my tanks And freight to haul we're still good to go right so I'll see you guys tomorrow. Thanks for joining me Thanks for tuning in to my channel here and following me on my life if you're new here You're welcome to subscribe we make a new video pretty much every day It's I've been doing this for what seven or eight years or something. That's just sort of documenting my life It's a video blog of sort of like a collection of my thoughts not necessarily just about trucking But there is a lot of trucking content because that's what I happen to do for a living and that's what I happen to be passionate about so it's what I talk about a lot and what I do a lot of So you're gonna get a lot of that here, but a blog is a Well, this is a vlog. So it's a video blog.  I'm not a trainer I'm not a barrel of knowledge. I'm here learning just like you guys, but this is me just Jumping my thoughts into the internet and seeing what comes back So far it's been a positive experience because all of you are here with me.  You know that you guys are smart. I've got a great audience, you know, I had a friend of mine recently talking to me And he was complimenting you guys He was saying, you know, he's watched a lot of other YouTube channels a lot of youtubers And there's a lot of miserable people on the internet. We all know we all know them Maybe you know one of them personally, but most of us don't because they're keyboard warriors You know, they're all angry behind their keyboard, but once you meet them in person.  You're supportive. You're here with me every day Even when I have bad quality, you still watch it You still give the thumbs up and I appreciate that and I want you to know that that I really value and cherish the internet friendship that we have Created here, even though you know me a lot better than I know you A lot better. It's it's crazy because I don't know who's watching my videos. I really don't know You could be some rich millionaire billionaire somewhere in the world watching little old me But in the comments section, you know, it's all a level playing field. I don't know who you are You could be someone famous.  I'm glad Glad for what you do. Thanks for keeping the freight moving and I was just like speechless just sitting there just like Why died like I watch you all the time. I love your music.  There's federal Police that watch my video. There's people who work in the government in Washington, DC Who have reached out to me who have stumbled across my videos at one point or another and just wanted to say hey cool videos Thanks for making them and stuff people in the government in Ottawa in Canada and from around the world as well It's What I'm trying to say is that you guys know me a lot more than I know you I don't know your story I don't know who you are But I appreciate you and thanks for hanging out here with me day by day means a lot to me and Gives me something to do in my spare time making videos for you And it's nice to just be able to get my thoughts just out onto the internet And you know, I learn a lot from you guys sometimes I realize I'm wrong Other times I'm like, yeah, I guess I was right about that because a lot of people agree with me I'm just an average guy Doing my job Hanging out with you and I hope to hang out with you tomorrow, too So if you haven't already subscribed to my channel leave me a comment down below if you feel like it And I'll see you tomorrow


SNES DRUNK! Bart vs the Juggernauts was an original Game Boy release that's emblematic of a completely different era of handheld gaming. This game is essentially just a series of mini games, but not to cut corners, it was truly meant to be a portable game because of the start and stop nature of portable gaming back then. For example, one of my best friends growing up, I remember his dad had a Game Boy, but only owned two games for it, Golf and Tetris. I asked why he didn't want to try any other games, he said, I don't need any other games, I only play this one, I'm taking a shit. So looking back on a game like Bart vs the Juggernauts, a game with a specific purpose in mind, a pick-up-and-play-and-put-down kind of a game, you gotta keep those parameters in mind. Has it aged well in terms of substance? Absolutely not. The mini games are limited to say the least and not particularly catchy or interesting. Everything is presented like American Gladiators, where each mini game gets you money and you gotta accumulate enough to advance to the next round. There's seven different games, a huge moving grid you hop across to put a ball through a hoop, and if you jump on the wrong square you get electrocuted. This game is the best of the bunch and is actually pretty good.  The real appeal of this game, though, is that it really does a nice job of maintaining the classic Simpsons sense of humor, and that comes in the form of commentary provided by Kent Brockman and Dr. Marvin Monroe. The latter in particular as he over-analyses to death everything Bart does. There's also brief commentary from a character before you play each mini game. Nothing here is gonna make you laugh out loud really, but there's some chuckles here and there. And really, I can't remember any other Simpsons game back then, getting the humor down as well as this game did, with the exception of the Simpsons arcade game. Remember, this came out in 1992 when the show was still in its prime. Anyway, the Simpsons-styled humor is really all this game has going for it. It's definitely better than the other Simpsons games at the time, but that's really not saying a whole lot.


hat Jordan you can get my money but I would still be very I would have to reimburse my funds because of the pandemic but yeah it's not about the shape of the earth but the shape of the earth the idea of the moon light being cold all affects the whole idea of big bang evolution and the age of the earth because if we are being lied to about these things the same sources might be lying to us about history as well to keep us in a zoo or in a jail but you can laugh as much as you want nobody won the 10,000 euros and nobody can prove me wrong I'm really trying because you know the math so you know that if there's supposed to be 80 meters a vertical drop over 30 20 miles then there should be 80 meters of landscape hidden yeah I've taken videos and photos of street lights along the beachfront 20 miles away there's the Guinness Book of Records where you can see 400 kilometers away and an infrared camera can see something like 2000 miles away there is no evidence of curvature and all these explanations that light refracts and bends the perfect way but doesn't distort the image I'm not buying it I'm not pushing beliefs I'm skeptical and I'm asking people like yourself to make your own observations check things for yourself instead of just believing in what a book said I see your super chat I'm even going to make this claim now this is the last super chat to come in so if you do do more that's it we're going into our outros Howard have you figured out how to use Google Earth yet or are you still talking rubbish sending from Holy Smalls why would you do this why would you do this you're right I'll answer this one quickly yes we've used Google Earth to zoom in on a mountain that we've been inside and we found 50 correlations with the anatomy of an elephant yeah now fully enough Google Earth Google Earth has actually covered up the cave that resembles the eye socket so yeah Google Earth yeah we've used it and we've actually got documented footage where it wasn't photoshopped and now it is and Howard you're having the last word on that on the last word there we go but I actually want to give you all a chance to just say your final word on the topic we have been debating the Earth thousands or billions of years old but I also want to know where can people find you if I can start you can find me in the ground you can find me in the grave we've been going for so long I'm dead I'm sorry Ben no that's okay I'm not going to make any arguments for the outro I'm just going to say I said this in my last debate I'll probably say all the future ones I appreciate my wife who does not like debates and she supports the fact that I do like debates and if you guys saw me chuckling or laughing that's because our baby who goes to bed at seven would not sleep and they were both down here and baby even though you don't know it yet for supporting me oh and thank you everyone Amy James for the platform Howard Jordan Erica this really was a pleasure I enjoyed it Ben it's always it's always been a pleasure chatting with you I've never had a bad conversation with you this was definitely this is definitely a discussion to remember you can find me at Gutsick Gibbon it's my YouTube channel I talk about stuff mostly anthropology and things related to it and that's all I got that's all I got thanks for having me yeah so I run a skeptical podcast called reason to doubt you can find me on the link in YouTube we cover religious stuff we also cover not religious stuff so like we covered like aliens and we've covered flat earth and we covered cold moonlight and all the other cool stuff and pretty soon later this month I'm going to be going on uh GE godless engineers channel on mythicisms so hopefully you'll find something interesting to you on our channel we'll take take all comers and this is this has been a blast I I enjoyed thoroughly enjoyed this thank you so very much thanks for having me if anybody wants to find any of my videos where I've gone out and spoken to people and got them to question their beliefs or even explain how people can do the experiments for themselves rather than just explain them because of what they've learned it makes sense that they can explain things away check things for yourself that's what I'm all about my name is Howard George stirrer and I use that name for YouTube Instagram TikTok Twitter and any other platform that I can't remember thank you very much to everyone else for being here and thank you Amy for hosting as well thank you so very much our entire panel and if you are looking for more fun I will be running an after party about the topic on my channel late tonight and there will be an after show right away on the modern day debate discord the link of which is in chat however I do want to thank you all for joining us here on modern day debate we are a neutral platform welcoming everybody from all walks of life if you're looking for more fantastic debates in the future please don't forget to like and subscribe including tonight's debate on earth thousands or billions of years old with our interlocutors Erika Jordan Benjamin and Howard whoo whoo plus if you liked what any of our guests had to say tonight their links are in the description below I am A.B. Newman with modern day debate and we hope you continue to have more fantastic conversations discussions and debates good night everyone whoo whoo


For more videos on people's struggles please subscribe to our YouTube channel. Hello and welcome to People's Dispatch. Despite the public health crisis and the coronavirus lockdown, the rates of violence in Mexico have increased to alarming rates. Mexico's movements and organized communities have been mobilizing on the ground responses to the violence and the public health and economic crisis. Here to discuss with us the challenges facing Mexico's movements in this challenging conjunction is Magviel Sanchez-Kiros and Militant from Jóvelins ante la Emergencia Nacional. Thank you so much for joining us. The government has 54,000 murders. It's an alarming figure. It doesn't only correspond to the lack of action or the government's actions. That's because it comes from a more complicated plot. But from the social movements and the public in general, we can't say that we can't content ourselves with having a new government if the murders continue to grow and the horror scenario still extends. So, something that has grown is what you say, the violence of gender. The feminists have grown. Mexico, days before the pandemic, had an impressive mobilization of women. I've never seen such a big one in history. It was March 8th and March 9th with a big stop. Many millions of women were mobilized in unedited mobilizations. But that was a blow because then the pandemic came and it seems that everything was forgotten. And the president also, in that kind of contradictions of his government, declared that women were going to be very well because they were going to be in their homes or that they were going to return to their ideal role, which was to be there helping the family and the violence in the houses has increased, the feminicides have increased, which are not always motivated by the internal life, but also, and many times, which is the most serious, the gravity of which are the criminal groups and those who kill women for killing women, simply, no? So, it's a situation of very strong violence against women, and also that economic violence against them is getting worse and worse. And there is also a very risky thing that we have seen from the new government, which in the immediate future may not be so strong, but that for future scenarios it will be very, very serious, which is the power that the government is giving to the army. They are giving them a lot of economic resources, they are giving them big businesses so that it not only depends on the federal budget, but it can also depend on its own income, is helping them, giving them a legitimacy that they do not have the army by supporting them, being them a president with a certain legitimacy. So, it's a very complicated situation. The movements, in this respect, we have had many difficulties because we have not, first, we have not known what to do immediately in front of the pandemic. Something that is very important is that about 10% of the municipalities of the country in front of the pandemic, they separated themselves completely and put community districts in their entrances, preventing the entry of people from the outside to avoid contagion. And those 240, almost 300 municipalities that did that were organized by the people, it is not a government action, but the people said, let's go to assembly, let's organize ourselves and others. Thanks to that type of initiative, thanks to deep traditions of the people, of care in health, of food, of organizing and responding to the crisis in a solidarity way, the crisis has not been so deep. And Mexico has been able to get out relatively ahead, thanks to that. Social movements, we have developed different initiatives of support, of solidarity, of what is called popular policies, of delivering food to people who are in worse conditions, of solidifying with different spaces, of doctors taking initiatives beyond their hospitals, or their role in the hospital. There have been many of those initiatives, they are too much, they are not coordinated with each other, they are not centralized, and they do not end up being a proposal in front of the government. If they are not immediate resistance reforms, they are very rehearsed, as they are rehearsed, for example, when they were rehearsed in front of the tremor of three years ago, or so many tragedies that happen in Mexico, there is always an important popular response. But we have not yet been able to make it clear what is going on, how it is going to continue. Because also the scenario that comes up in economic terms is going to be worse, the health term is going to be worse, and the question is still there. There are several examples, there are several initiatives that begin to be discussed, and especially the need now in the face of these elections that come next year, that we cannot stay in the simple expectation of seeing how a political debate takes place in certain parties, but that the movements have to do something. But still, being honest, it is still a lot to be made clear what the basis is. The immediate resistance we already have. That in Mexico is almost spontaneously given, in the communities there is a lot of experience. The greater challenge of how to bring back the resistance in something, in a unitary political project of all the oppressed, the dominated sectors, we still lack. And I think we also lack, not only because of the social movements that exist, but also, and mainly, because we have not had the capacity to think and organize because of the size of the violence that exists in our country. The rate of violence is so high that it has not given us that breath. So, we have to think in every day more adverse conditions, the alternatives, and more and more forcefully to recreate them, because they are also more urgent and unnecessary.


Here we go. So good evening, good afternoon, good morning everybody. This is the Google summer of code office hour for September 8th. I always need to think about how to say dates in English. So we're reaching the end. So a very busy summer comes to the end. We're wrapping up. I think Google opened up the final review form for contributors. So we come back on that later. If the question, the big question is we're struggling to find an adequate date for the final presentation of everybody's work. So last week we were proposing to hold it on Tuesday, Tuesday evening or night in India. So the same time as now. Yeming came back to me to me and saying that, well, he was sitting in a class at exactly that time. So it didn't work for him. So question to the group of people who are present does Wednesday, same time work. So John Mark, Yeming responded to my slack and he said that he's currently in class, but let me try to join. Give me one minute. Okay, he will, he will try. He told me that the new proposal is go for him. He gave me his timetable. So I know when he's busy. So, okay, so let me call up the calendar. So we're currently aiming at Wednesday 21st, the same time as now. Who can't make it? Um, actually, I had my examinations from Thursday. So I don't know if I can make it on Wednesday because just a day before and either two in the evening. So slightly dicey for me. So this is very good. I can manage, but if it is possible, could you please try to shift it a day before or two days before or maybe after September, like October 30th? Okay, we have the difficult task of trying to mix water and oil. If you ever tried, you know that this is nearly impossible. So to summarize to Yeming who joined, thank you for joining. On Tuesday 19th, no need to check the dates. So on Tuesday 20th, it doesn't work for Yeming because he's in class. Wednesday doesn't work for Vian because he has exam exams to prepare for the next day. So we have three possibilities. The first one is that we keep the Tuesday and that Yeming records his presentation, which is would be sent. Second opportunity or possibility is we do it on Wednesday and then it's Vian that needs to record his presentation, which is also suboptimal. And so third option, we push it somewhere in October or even later. What is the opinion of the group? Maybe we already asked that, but what about the Friday before all that Friday 16th? Is there any exams or a problem on that date? I don't recall if I'm sorry if I if someone said that that wasn't possible, but Friday 16th, would that work for everybody? What is the status there? I need to cancel the meeting there. So I could make it, but on Friday I have my October first preparation meeting, but this could work. So who is going? You made a plus one thumbs up. Is that correct for Friday? Friday is good for you. Vian said on Wednesday, Vian wants me to be killed by my wife. Vian also said on Friday works for me. Okay, good. Hoshi Cash also Friday, and Yeming is Friday good for you. I don't have your your timetable. You can ask. Yeah, it's okay to me. We go on 16th Friday. Yep, that sounds like it. Adrienne, you clear the log jam. Bright idea. So I will find somebody else to take my place at the other meeting, but great. Okay, Alissa, your go to organize the job at that time? Yes, Friday the 16th. Same time. Same time as now. Yeah, got it. Okay. Great. I apologize for the misery of I apologize for the misery of oops, I have a feedback. I have one comment. And John Mark, feel free to kill me because my option of Friday is a no because I'm going out. I'll be taking a PTO. This is as important as Adrienne, you missed it. Okay. Yeah, so close and so far at the same time. Okay, sorry. I cannot cancel that as well. I've been preparing for one. No, this is here. We need to keep a balance between private life and work. So this is very important. Yeah. But what about on Thursday in place of this office hour next week? Yiming is in a class. He sneaked out of his classroom in order to join this call. So and I thank him for doing that here. We'll have to look for October and but the Friday for me is a no go in October because of Friday I have the October first office hour. This is going to be hard. Difficult. So John Mark, maybe we send the contributors a doodle for October. So we give them more options to choose from. So hopefully one of those days will work for everybody. Yeah, we'll shift it to October. The week of the 30th, Alyssa and myself are at DevOps world. We're traveling. So making Jenkins online meetup from an airport is looking for trouble. No, no, but here we're here together to brainstorm and challenge. I need to have a big reserve battery with me to be sure. And I know I'm don't know. I will not try here. I think we'll follow Alyssa's very good advice to send a doodle, classical doodle and try to find the time in October to do that. You will have more time to prepare it. Now if you have blockers, Yiming sent me when he had classes. So normally this Yiming, can you answer me if the class roster that you sent me is this valid for October to probably. Yeah, yeah, exactly. Okay. Got you. So I know there so we can adapt the doodle better for that. Here I'm awfully sorry for the mess, but you now have a very active schedule. All of you and we try to accommodate that, but I really would like to give you a chance to present what you did and also send a message to the next generation of GSOC contributors. Okay. Thank you very much for that.  I can go on because I think my class will end in five minutes. So I don't think my professor will give something new knowledge. Okay. Good. Very wisely said. Okay. Good. Then very quickly.  Can you give us quickly the status where you are? I think most of my works of this project are done yet except the exact publishing the actions in the GitHub marketplace. So I cannot decide whether or not it is acceptable to the organization. This is still a discussion ongoing. Mark, Mark Wait, who is part of the board, acknowledged the question. They only skimmed over a subject in the last meeting. He will handle that. I don't think that this is blocking you to complete your project if you continue that a little bit. Yeah, already submit the final evaluation. A general note for everybody, I hope that you will not disappear suddenly in the fourth dimension or what it's called. You will continue to hang around, continue to maintain what you produce and continue to participate to the community once GSOC is finished. So I'd be looking forward to continue to interact with you. Okay. Yiming, something important that you want to share about your project, I think you're ending. Don't forget to fill in your evaluation and pointers to the work you did. Okay. Chris, do you want to add something? No. Okay. Just for your information as you came after the fund, we ended up finding no compromise for the date of the online meetup. And so we kicked the ball out of the field and are going to look for something in October. And we're going to do it with a doodle. Okay, I see. So, okay. Deraj, same question. What is the current situation? Were you standing? What is still required to do? Are you wrapping up things in a good state? Go ahead. Yes. Thank you. So the status of project is I'm working on one task and it's like, as per our discussion in the weekly meeting, it's like the wrapping up tasks for the project. And I spent time on it to understand how to do it, but I could not get the idea of how to do it. But then I put up a PR and asked for help and Adrian suggested me like, gave me some hints like you can do this, you can do that. So I'll be reading them and understanding them and working only on them and just pushing the comments and try to wrap this task by tomorrow. That's the goal. Let's see. About what time? You're not going to work the whole night on it, Deraj? Since these are the last days, so I might need to work the night. So that's not a problem. Here, discuss it with Adrian about the priorities. You know my standpoint on that. I appreciate the effort and that you want to wrap it. So that's very, very good, but please don't do silly things in not sleeping at night. You're still young. Good. Go ahead. Yeah. So Adrian is also helping us by deploying the project and he's working with the infrared team to do that. So that is also on track. That's all. Okay. It's a very big project and it's really great to start seeing the results and shaping up. So that's great. Okay. You are able to fill in your report, your evaluation. Are there questions about the form? If you need help, just give a shout. Did you look at the form? Did you look at the form? I'm sorry, but I did not. But I will after this meeting for short. I promise. Have a look so that you know what are the questions that you need to fill in. Okay. Good. For sure. Thank you, Derash. Keep on trucking and don't roll out of the road. So I'll stop here. I'm a grandfather, so I need to take care. This said, Hushikesh, what does the situation look like on your side? So hello everyone. So finally the project has come to an end. This week we have discussed and the Git Client Plugins PR is ready to, you know, from a draft PR we have changed it to, you know, ready to review so it can be merged. And then the Git Client Plugin also the work has been completed, but we have to test it rigorously because many people depend on the Git Client Plugin. So sorry, on the Git Plugin. So that has to be tested, but the unit tests have been written for all of them. But still, you know, it has to be used on different machines to check how is it working, what are the performance, is it impacting any, you know, having any effect on the Jenkins software that has to be looked into. Other than that, I think all the requirements have been met. So yeah. And so you're slowly getting prepared to do your presentation. Yeah. Okay. One question I had, I wanted to ask on this now because so basically in the first presentation, like I did my presentation, but I couldn't add my presentation into the deck, that presentation deck where everyone's presentation is there. So I wasn't able to add it because I don't have the permission. So if you could add it or if I have the permission to add it, you know, it could be added. Yeah, good point. Now I'm looking at Alyssa, do you know where what the presentation is and how we can help Hoshikash to merge his slides? Oh, the presentation for, are you talking about for the one in October? Sorry, John Mark. No, the one that happened in the end of July. Oh, yes. Yes. So I can send it to Hoshikash. Yeah, okay. Or help him because he tried to add it to it. And I think he doesn't have the update rights or something like that. If I remember, there was a there was a message on on the on the community.jenkins.io where he said I'm running. Okay. Oh, okay. So let me let me add him right now. Thank you, Duras for the link. Okay. Now Hoshikash, it's important, but it's it's not an emergency right now. So focus on finishing and remind us next week or later if we if we still missed the target. Also, regarding the blog post, I was working on the blog post. I wasn't sure about what the requirements are like when I have to submit my year, you know, when I have to finalize the GSOC form, which I have to submit next week, because it starts for me and on the next week, right, because we both wanted by one day. Here, the the blog post is important, nice to have, but is not tied to a date. What I would like is that if possible, but it's not blocking, that the blog posts are published on the side at the same moment. And it could be good that they're published together with the John with the Java online meetup. So as we're moving to October, we have more time there. So this is my opinion on that. And Alissa, do you have a different opinion than mine? We don't want to post. So the blog post is I usually do it shortly after if we can within that same week as our Jenkins online meetup. So we don't want to do it way out too long, but we want to do shortly after because of people who have just heard about it, so then they can follow up on it quickly and the content is still fresh. So this confirms and gives more details to the proposal. So what I propose, unless somebody has another opinion, is that the target is end of months of September. But for the 30th, the pull request is ready to be merged. So reviewed and ready. We need to put a note on it. Alissa, when the blog posts get ready, don't merge without or but I don't want to put them in draft. Otherwise, there is no automation for the preview environment. Anyway, Hoshikash, does that answer your question? We don't need to go into the kitchen details, but end of September is a good detail. Oh, yeah, that answers my question. Yeah. Okay, good. Thank you for the update, Hoshikash. Well done. I'm for all, but I will keep repeating for all of you. I'm impressed what has been achieved in the nice results. Pihan, your turn. Hi, everyone. What is the situation on our side? What can you update us on? So most of my work is done. So the request was merged for the docs office hours last week and the changes are live on Jenkins.io. After that, I have just winded up my work on finishing off the tickets closing them as required and also briefly project page. And I feel the evaluation as the first draft now. So I should not feel the non-deployed fields. I'll do that when I have some more time on the weekend and I'll submit that. I submit it now just as a failsafe measure. Other than that, I have some more changes that I would like to propose, but that would be outside of GSoc. And I'm already working on that, not very major, but just to fix a couple of pages on that. So yeah, everything is pretty good, I guess. Nothing else to say. Okay, good. Did you already look at the evaluation form? Questions about that? Yes, I have submitted that. Oh, you already submitted. So until you reach the closure date for submitting it, you can still change it and revise it. So it's still open. It closes at the date. Hey, great. I'm going to do that when I have some more time. The non-deployed fields. Good. Great. Something to add, Fihan? No, nothing to my side. Okay, sounds great. Does somebody else have something other to share, discuss, raise, camera on? I see them shaking heads to say no. So I do the count, three, two, one, and I then wish you all a nice rest of the day and continue like that. Have fun. Cheers. Bye-bye, everybody. Bye-bye.

It's crazy to think that the Hitman's Bodyguard came out in 2017, four years ago. Even more wild, these really aren't good uses of the terms wild and crazy, but even more so, it's nuts that I never sawed originally. Seen as it has Ryan Reynolds, Samuel L. Jackson, and Selma Hayek, three people I happen to really appreciate. It's a couple things I really enjoy about Selma Hayek, but we'll get into that later. For now, though, here's my review for the Hitman's Wife's Son-in-Law's Father's Best Friends Bodyguard. It was kind of a trick at the beginning, although I didn't originally see the first film. I did watch it a day before going to the sequel. I don't even know where to begin on it. There's just so many things that are odd and just downright bizarre about the choices made in this film. So we have to back up a little bit. The first Hitman's Bodyguard was fine. I thought it was enjoyable. There was actually some pretty touching moments. Samuel L. Jackson plays Darius Kincade, which is an awesome name, and then Ryan Reynolds plays Michael Bryce, I think. I'm bad with names in movies. They have great chemistry together. They're equal matches, even though they're on opposite sides of the playground. One is a bodyguard. The other is a Hitman. Eventually, the bodyguard will have to protect this guy, even though he hates his guts. You know, so it's got that push-pull, that yin-yang, sort of camaraderie that's going to form. Where at first, they hate each other's guts, and by the end of it, they're going to have some sort of a mutual respect. And even a friendship. Selma Hayek's great in the first movie. Very over-the-top, furious.  I loved her in the film. I loved everyone in the first film. Action-wise, eh, it's okay. Script had some fun twists and turns. Tugged at the heartstrings a little bit. And just an all-around good time. Nothing, you know, you need to really rush back and see ever again. But it's certainly something that if it was on in passing, you could watch it. No problems. So let's get into the sequel with whatever this recap was for some reason for the first film. This is going to be a spoiler-free review if that's what you need to hear for a movie like the Hitman's Wife's Bodyguard. Okay, so this film starts up zanier than the first. It's not rubbing me the wrong way, but it is a little bizarre how the tone has shifted since the, you know, the 2017 one. We're treated, if that's the term I should be using, to a dream sequence retelling from Michael Bryce to his shrink, where he is being awarded a plaque of some sort for being the number one bodyguard. The dream quickly turns to a nightmare when he sees Kincaid's face everywhere, laughing at him, mocking him. And then he runs away from the scene embarrassed, ashamed of who he is. Listen, I know all good characters go through some growth in films, but this is Michael Bryce is a completely different character here. One that doesn't like using weapons because he's on a sabbatical, as he says, like a thousand times. It kind of reminded me of Die Hard 4, the one that I try not to ever- No, I'm sorry. I misspoke. It reminded me of Die Hard 5.  Bruce Willis is constantly saying that he's on vacation, even though he's not even on vacation. He's going to get his son back in Russia. He's trying to save him. So yeah, that's kind of like how Michael is here. He's like, I'm on sabbatical. I'm trying to find myself. He's calling his phone and leaving his future self-messages. He's really kind of a pansy in this film. The cool dapper Michael from the first that was able to go toe to toe with Samuel L. Jackson's character is gone. What's left is a broken shell of a man who is not even, it's not even night and day. He really is a totally different, softer, wussier character. And I hated him in this, which is sad because I don't think I've ever hated Ryan Reynolds and everything. Even in Blade 3, Blade Trinity, when I wanted to see more Wesley Snipes and got Hannibal instead, I was still like, hey, Ryan's trying. Samuel L. Jackson is Darius on the other hand. He's still kind of the same character. He's having a good time and I have to give props to Samuel L. Jackson. When you got guys like Bruce Willis and Harrison Ford who have clearly been phoning it in for the last 20 or so years of their careers, Jackson is still putting in the work in everything I see him in.  He reminds you of that often in this movie.  I don't know how old she is. I'm going to look it up right now for my own personal knowledge.  She's 54 and she's a bombshell still. Not only that, dear God is she good at swearing. She's the highlight of the film for me. Loved her to death. Could watch her in a solo outing easily. And I will say props to the director and writers for knowing what makes her so special. Not only does she make the most vulgar statements sound beautiful, but she's also drop dead gorgeous and they're showing her off to the best of their abilities. I salute them for that. However, I cannot believe this is the same director and writer from the first movie. I went to this movie with a buddy the other night that didn't see the first one. So I'm kind of rattling off the highlights and giving him a little background on the characters.  I said this to him. The first movie is a love story between the two leads. Mike has his head over heels ex-girlfriend that he very much wants to win back and at the end of the movie he does. And I just had a feeling she was one of those types of actresses or characters that would just be written out of the sequel. So when he asked about her and who played her, I just said it doesn't matter. I have a feeling she's not going to be in it. And she wasn't and they don't even mention her once. The whole movie's main focus was the love aspect for these two guys and their significant others and they just completely throw it out the window. It's so ridiculous. And it's just further proof that they didn't care at all in the slightest about the story, which is insanity by the way. It's almost closer to an Austin Powers parody than it does to kind of the more serious spy angle the first one had. There's characters in this that are completely off the wall. The plot is like the dumbest James Bond storyline you could think of. That's why I say it's almost akin to an Austin Powers, but it's not near that funny. One character, he's built, he's built in it. Morgan Freeman shows up and they kind of joke about the timbre of his voice and things like that, like very much something that would be in a South Park episode. And there's a flashback sequence that Morgan Freeman narrates and I just could not believe what I was watching. I'm just sitting there dumbstruck thinking, this is straight up a cutaway joke from Family Guy, how ludicrous it is. And they play it, like they play it kind of seriously? So it just makes the whole thing even more, even more perplexing. The first movie I think kind of failed in this department and so does this one when it comes to the music. They try to lure you in with the Deadpool-esque 80s and 90s throwback songs, kind of out of place choices for action scenes. Deadpool I think nailed it every time, you know, with Salt and Peppa and you know things of that nature, like never gonna dance again. This though, it's just bad. I don't like any of the song choices. Action-wise, it's definitely better. There's much longer action, I think that if you went into this just for that alone, you'd be kind of satisfied because I think there's some creative stuff in there. There's an Interpol agent who I have seen before in other things but looking on IMDb, I couldn't find out the actor's name, so I apologize. He, first off, weird choice for the actor. I think I don't really get him. He was kind of comedic, but also almost irrelevant entirely. He has a lot of focus in the first half, then he just disappears for a majority of the later half. He shows up finally at the end again. There's just a lot of people in this that make no sense. There's a British woman that has a dozen lines and she has an assistant that look like a knockoff of Jennifer Connolly but has nothing to say. The movie's constantly jumping to different locations, half of which have our characters in front of obvious green screen. I don't know how much COVID was in play during the shooting of this film, but there was definite reshoots at work here. The cool thing about Michael Bryce in the first movie was he was very confident and he was very competent in what he did. He was the best of the best. He didn't make mistakes and if he did, it was because it was like out of his hands, it was out of his control.  I just, what happened? What happened? I'm gonna give this movie 4 out of 10 snakes serpentined around Selma Hayek's ripe young body in From Dust Till Dawn, a treasure that everyone else should witness. Not even the movie, just Google image. You're welcome. And I'm giving this a courtesy 4 out of 10 because I love the actors in it. And I totally forgot to mention Antonio Banderes who also is just randomly in this film. He doesn't unfortunately get a ton to do but God, Antonio Banderes is so cool. If I could only achieve a sliver of the coolness Antonio Banderes exudes, I would be a happy fellow. As it stands, that's not the case. Thanks for watching. That was certainly a rant, wasn't it? That's why the title's there. There's no structure. It's just chaos. It's just bedlam. Just anarchy. If you liked it though, like the video. Feel free to subscribe too.

The Japanese military that invaded China during World War II encountered an unexplained situation on Poyang Lake. On April 16th, 1945, a Japanese cargo ship that weighed more than 2,000 tons sank in the lake. Operated by the Japanese military, the ship was fully loaded with stolen treasures taken from Chinese civilians. The ship sank in the lake and none of the crew escaped. The Japanese military ordered its navy personnel stationed nearby to salvage the ship. Only one of the divers found his way back to the shore, but he could not speak. The survivor was stricken with extreme fear. So much so, he was driven to insanity. Click on the link below to see the full video.
