Okay, good day everybody. Welcome to the next section of the Muscles of the Thigh and Dr. Sanjay Sanyal, Professor in Department Chair. This time we are going to focus on the Muscles of the Medial Compartment or the Adductor Compartment. We will see what we can do in the Atreview and then we will switch our cadaver to go to see from the posterior view. So what we can see here, we can see three of the Muscles of the Adductor Compartment right at the top which forms part of the floor of the femoral triangle we can see this muscle here. This is the Adductor Brevis, the smallest Muscles of the Adductor Compartment. Then we have the next muscle here going from here all the way up to here. This forms one of the boundaries of the femoral triangle. This is the Adductor Longus. And finally further medially and the largest muscle we can see all the way going here. This is the Adductor Magnus. The Adductor Magnus has got two components, an Adductor component and a Hamstring component and the rest of the things we will show in another cadaver but before we shift I would like to show you the opening in the Adductor Magnus through which the femoral vessels are passing. And this is the opening in the Adductor Magnus where the femoral vessels are passing. This opening is called the Adductor High Ages. Now we are going to shift cadaver and show these structures as well as some of the other Muscles of the Adductor Compartment from the posterior aspect. To continue where we had left off we are still on the Muscles of the Adductor Compartment. Now we are seeing cadaver from the in the prone position we are seeing from the posterior aspect. So what do we see in front of us? This is the Adductor Magnus which I told you is the largest of the Adductor Muscles. And since we are seeing from the posterior aspect we can see both the components of the Adductor Magnus. So let's take a look at that component which is taking origin from the eschial tuberosity and we can see a tenderness origin from the eschial tuberosity here. This is the component which is called the hamstring component of the Adductor Magnus. The one which takes origin from the eschial tuberosity. This is the hamstring component. The other component of the Adductor Magnus is when I reflect of the other Muscles of the back of the thigh. This fleshy portion this is the Adductor Component. This fleshy portion the Adductor Component is the one which gets inserted all along the length of the linea aspera. And this hamstring component gets inserted onto the Adductor tuber on the middle side of the femur. Okay the Adductor Component which gets inserted into the linea aspera is pierced by multiple vessels. We can see them here. We can see one vessel here. We can see many other neurovascular structures piercing all along the length of it. These are the perforators and there are four such perforators which come from the prokondner femoris artery. And these are the perforators which pierce through and they encircle the femur and the thigh. This is the Adductor Magnus. The Adductor Magnus the hamstring component is supplied by the tibial nerve. Tibial division of the sciatic nerve which we can see here and the Adductor Component is supplied by the obtrator nerve. Which other muscle of the medial compartment we can see in this view? If I reflect the Adductor Magnus we can see yet one more muscle. This is the the gracilis muscle. It's a thin long tendon graceful muscle. It does not have much functional use though it also belongs to the medial compartment the adductor compartment and it's supplied with the obtrator nerve.  Before I conclude in this view we can see a little bit of the adductor longus but so these are the muscles of the adductor component which we have seen most from the anterior aspect as well as from the posterior aspect. Thank you very much for watching ladies and gentlemen. Don't sign the sign and signing out. If you have any questions or comments put them in the comment section below. Have a nice day.

Hi, yeah, I've been gone for a little bit. Hi friends. My name is fairy lights today. I'm back home again for Chinese New Year Hence my setup these beautiful earrings, which I will try to remember to link in the description today I wanted to sit down and chat because it's been a while since I've been on YouTube. I took a break from a lot of social media I didn't post on Twitter. I didn't do anything on Twitch either barely post on Instagram and I haven't posted on YouTube for like over two weeks I think last video was that and the only thing I said was on Twitter I said I was taking a break because I was going through some stuff and I wanted to go through in private before I wanted to Bring it to the public internet knowledge And it's also Valentine's Day today when I'm uploading and it's also Chinese New Year two days ago So I wanted to just do a little look a red look pinkish red look I don't really know where I'm going with it But we'll see how it turns out first thing I'm gonna do is actually get some tape and I want to do some Heart freckles. I don't know how to do them. I didn't bother looking up a tutorial So I'm just gonna cut out heart shapes because your boy does not have heart stickers, unfortunately Also, if you didn't notice my skin is pretty clear now. I finally got it under control not perfect Obviously still some imperfections, but that's how we look. It's amazing. What a good night's sleep can do to your face Oh my god, how am I gonna do this part of me while I take an hour to cut out some hearts See that heart. We got one. Alright, so it turns out my mic at that point just busted up big fat I won't say either way. There's gonna be a voice over for the rest of the video I'm so sorry, but I mean you probably don't really care about me saying in a person because this is about makeup And I'm also just ranting and just telling you all about what's been going on in my life So while I'm taping heart pieces to my face I wanted to talk about the fact that like I broke up with my boyfriend and I got back with him together in four days and I want to explain what I was going through the thought process and Just like the story behind it because it's pretty Movie-like but unintentionally, you know, I like to act like I'm in a romantic movie This was like unintentional, but it's still entertaining to talk about and I figured you all will like it So hopefully you enjoy so if you don't know who my boyfriend is his name is Joey and For privacy reasons, I still have not shown his face I don't want you all to search him up because the whole point is I want to respect his privacy Don't even bother trying to find him on Instagram. I don't follow him for that reason y'all think you can outstock me You don't know who I am. I'm a cancer. We stalk everyone and the whole reason to keep him away from my channel It's not because I don't want him to be on my channel Obviously I do hence why I talk about him But it's just because I like to enjoy the fact that I get to be with him And I don't have to worry about him being criticized by outside world and having you know Unsolicited comments about him because we all know some person's gonna try to be a negative person and just say like Why do you date him?  I don't want people to judge my relationship when they don't even know anything about it And I'm also making this video because I want people to stop thinking that my relationship is perfect I want people to stop thinking any relationship on YouTube is perfect or just a relationship in general because it's not YouTubers show what we want to show and obviously I like to be a positive channel So of course I'm going to mainly focus on the positives hence why I took a three-week break because I was very sad at that time I'm putting on foundation by the way. So anyways around a month ago. I started to have some doubts about my relationship I thought like maybe I'm not as happy as I used to be which isn't saying I'm sad It's just saying I felt happier during the honeymoon phase. We're just totally normal I'm just not really used to that feeling of like happiness going down slightly But just because I haven't been in a relationship for that long This was my longest relationship right now My other one was three months long and it was a long distance. So you can't really count that putting on a blush That was not nail polish. It's just packaged like that by the way And we're doing a lot of blush just because we wanted to be you know a look for the girls and the gays and days You know for everyone and at the time Joey was going through some stuff So I didn't want to like bring this up because I just felt like I'll be putting unnecessary pressure on him And I kept it to myself It was during winter break and I said let's wait until we see each other again Maybe it'll spark joy again and like I won't feel as sad as I am right now just because I just feel like I haven't seen Him in a while That's why I felt this disconnect because up until then we got to see each other at least once a week By the way right here. I'm just putting a more pinkish red color around each heart to emphasize it And then I put a little bit of a true red eye shadow right on the center Just so it looks like a gradient You can actually see the heart freckles when I peel them off by the time I saw him again I was still really happy to see him. He bought me really sweet gifts for Christmas like it was just it felt Really nice, but the whole thing was at that point I didn't know if I wanted a boyfriend in general because I started thinking like I feel like I'm Having trouble balancing work and just like YouTube college and then with him And I didn't want to be a burden on to him because I know in the past I would always have to be like oh, I need to edit this video so I can't really hang out or just stuff like that And I always just got into my head and by the way, I still haven't said anything to him at this point This is how secluded I am in my own thoughts So after we hung out I just started to think by myself And I just had this one day of like spiraling down my own thoughts of saying like should I be his boyfriend? Am I doing him injustice by being his boyfriend because I feel like he's more committed to me And I'm not as committed to him and I don't want him to I don't want to drag him along You know, I started getting very paranoid and basically I just Got confirmation bias, which if you don't know that means just look it up Basically, I just asked people for the answer that I already wanted it Which was maybe you should just break up and I just like said, okay, let's just do it If I'm already feeling this way that's probably a sign that I should do it So I told him I was going to his park next to his house and we would just meet up Can you meet me here? It was around 25 degrees that day.  I was crying when I said it I started crying So yeah, it was a rough moment. He just stood there in shock like he didn't say much I think he said a total of three sentences in the whole span that I was just like talking to him And the thing is I said nothing I just said we were breaking up and then like the other hour 30 was just filler words because I didn't even explain to him why we broke up all I said was I just don't feel as happy as I used to and I Feel bad dragging you along I don't want to do this because I feel like you deserve someone better and he would ask me like why Didn't you tell me this earlier, which is totally true. I should have told him earlier I just felt bad because the things that I wanted to change in our relationship was like on him sort of like Can you change the way you say this like sometimes it upsets me Can you just do this instead? You know just little things and I took it as I would be forcing him to change who he is to fit like who I want Granted that's unrealistic to be like two people automatically fit together like a perfect puzzle And I just I wasn't really thinking I just basically didn't want to say it because I thought it would be too embarrassing too So I just said the stuff that I want to change I feel like isn't possible to and I don't want to force you and that's all I said to him So he didn't really get an explanation why and he was just left dumbfounded, which is like it's so bad And here's what we get to that freaking movie plot So by the time we have like one less kiss one less hug We separated and he went down one side of the park and I had to go down the other side to go back to my train So before we turned around and walked away. I told him, please don't look back Like I know it'll upset you and they'll just make things worse and he told me I can't promise you that and That's when I started walking away. I mind you I'm waddling away because it's so cold and I'm still crying no tissues I forgot to bring them and I just knew he was looking at me. So I turn around I see him just standing at the staircase just staring back at me. I keep walking down. He's still staring at me I turn a left and I'm crossing trees, but I can still see him at the staircase and by the time I get to the edge of My staircase he's still staring at me and I just I wave goodbye. I sent a little heart and I'm walking down I started walking down to my train station and Part of me was like I feel like something is about to happen and I turn around he is sprinting towards me He's around five feet away. I didn't even hear him running towards me It was just intuition and I had my AirPods in maybe that's a sign Don't I don't read into it, please But he just gave me a one-less hug we hugged for like a whole minute there It was just on the side of the road and people were walking by while I was crying I told him like why did you come back like why are you doing this and he said I know I would regret it for the rest of my life if I didn't That shit hurts So it's just so it's so weird because I haven't thought about it since this and I'm like talking about it right now So it's just it's making me a little emotional and while we were walking away like I sent a text and I was like goodbye Thank you so much for being in my life. I'm so sorry for doing this and he told me it's okay Like I know I'm crying right now and you were crying too But these are this is out of love and that I know you're making the best decision for you and me and I trust You and I wish you good luck in life, and I hope you're successful as you are now And I will be successful for you too, and it's just like the most Mature and sweetest goodbye that I could have received and I just I just part of it was like why don't you just hate me? Like why please just hate me because it makes it so much harder So I cried on the way home like I was just sobbing on the subway with a mask to mask on if you were just looking at me weirdly I was crying up the way to the apartment and Crying at my door, and then I opened the door, and I'm just like sobbing because my roommates started hugging me so it was it was a rough three-hour trip thing and I cried for another hour on my beanbag until I eventually passed out from crying and I said to him like I don't want to lose contact with you 100% like I I would love to be your friend like I would still want to help you with anything if you need something or if you just want to go out and just talk and You have my number like I will let you contact me on your accord when you're comfortable I'm not going to message you until then so because I wanted to give him privacy like I told him you can block me everywhere You don't have to stay here like you can leave our discord server. I just I want you to be able to have closure and The problem was like technically we never got closure and I'm gonna get to that soon by the way I'm filling in my eyebrows with Glossier boy brow and also liner brow liner I think is what it's called and the eyeshadow is the same color as I use in my blush And I'm just centering the red towards like the inside of my eye Asian eyes are really weird to work with but just just look At where I'm putting it all makes sense So for the next three days, it was just like every day cry Listen to the song you were good to me because those lyrics hit home so deeply it was like too real and On the fourth day, I just I saw something that reminded me of him And I just like I sent it to him because I thought I would cheer him up And I asked him how's he doing and he told me like I'm doing okay. I don't really feel anything anymore It's kind of sort of like this limbo stage and I once again I said like I'm sorry and then just I feel terrible and I said do you have anything to say to me? And all he said was I just wish you told me this sooner So we could have tried to work this out and that's when like like the whole time we broke up I was like I did it because I thought that I would feel better without a boyfriend and That he would feel better without me But every day after we broke up felt miserable and I was like I didn't think I would be this sad And it made me start to doubt didn't make the right decision because I know that like I'm not prone to giving second chances Just because I kind of like have trust issues But I felt like we didn't even bother trying to make it work because I didn't even tell them what was wrong Which is so not right in a relationship.  No mascara. We hate mascara here And my inner corner is just a glitter. I always do that. You all know that and look at my heart freckles Didn't they come out so good? I didn't have to touch them up So I told him like do you want to just talk it out at I'm watching the square park so I can explain to you like my thought process and just tell you why I thought we should break up and obviously he said yeah And we started talking about like random stuff and I was like would you do this all over again? And he said I would do this in a heartbeat. I would take your second chance in a heartbeat I would do everything in a heartbeat because I have no regrets. I loved what happened between us I like I loved the past five months. I know he wasn't doing this on purpose to mess with my brain But it's just like I started messing with my brain. I was like Frederick You were about to lose the best person you've ever had in your life Are you making the right decision figure it out right now because you might just be in your head So I told him okay, let's meet up. Let's just it's not guaranteed second chance. Let's just first talk it out So here's another movie scene. I'm waiting at Washington Square Park And it's it's right after it snowed So everything is still like white and there's snowmen everywhere and I'm waiting at a bench I waited for 10 minutes and I look up and he's just he's right across from me Just staring at me across the gate and he's just waving and he climbs across the gate to talk to me And I just told him like I'm not going to say everything on here just because you know privacy But I told him I wish you could say this instead. I wish we were more like this, you know Sometimes this upsets me and all he said was that's it You think that was going to be forcing me to change myself and he told me the whole point of a healthy relationship Is that you feel comfortable communicating this stuff to each other so that we can better each other and become better people And have a healthier and better relationship and I was like, yeah, that makes so much sense I'm such a dumbass and he told me like I just wish you never felt scared to tell me and He would do all of those things like so easily. It's nothing out of his way. He said And that like I just started thinking and self-reflecting like there wasn't really anything wrong with our relationship. It was just I felt something I felt some things were off between us because I wouldn't communicate with him And he didn't know the stuff he was doing was wrong and it's not like red flag It's just little things that sometimes annoy me or maybe upset but I just kept it to myself and That's that's wrong of me to do that because he deserves to hear that too because then how else is the relationship going to change I just told him like do you want to try again? And he said of course So I said, okay, let's let's try this. We hugged it out and I told him the next day Let's just hang out see how it goes like let's just try to feel normal again because it was a long week and He also got me a muffin when we met because like that's just who he is And the muffin did not convince me to give him a second chance It was just a very sweet thing that he did on his end Also, I don't want anyone to think that I am going back together with him for the sake of Not wanting to make a we broke up video or like feeling like I would never find someone else It's not that it's just the way he makes me feel Every day it's something I've never felt before and maybe I don't want to lose that obviously I don't want to lose that But it's just I think I would be dumb to lose it and not even bother trying to make something work Because I'm just too scared to even talk to him and now ever since that we've been able to just feel more comfortable And I feel like I trust him even more now.  I'm putting a lip gloss right now I put a reddish pink lipstick in the center of my lips, dabbed it out and then put a lip gloss over it If you're curious, but if there's any tips I have to say is number one Don't fantasize about relationships just because you see them online try not to at least I know it's a hard habit and a lot of us do it I'm victim of that too But this is proof that no relationship is perfect because you could have dumbesses like me who do stupid stuff like this And also if you are in a relationship, please don't be scared to talk to your partner about how you feel Just be honest because honesty and good communication make a relationship work And that is the biggest I everyone always says it but it's actually true and this is like I'm telling you right now. This is the reason why it's very important If you're single right now on valentine's day enjoy being single. It's nothing to be ashamed about It's nothing to feel sad about because you only get this temporary. This is most likely going to be a Smaller portion of your life because what you're less than 20 years old I'm assuming and you're gonna live to like probably 80 knowing us maybe the world ends I don't know so just enjoy while you have it because our relationship is commitment It is work and on top of other work such as school and homework You're going to be more stressed no matter what and you may not be ready to go through that So work on yourself first make sure you're at a good point in your life before you think to have other people Go into your life because if you can't even take care of a plant I don't know how you're gonna take care of another human that being said I can take care of 20 plants So joey you're welcome and I guess at the end of the day Just don't always talk to your friends. Maybe think about your own opinion Don't try to have other people to tell you what to do because you should be able to handle your own Conclusions and your own thoughts.  Hope you're staying safe. I know it's still a lot going on Sorry, I haven't posted in a while I've just been through a lot and I wanted to have some time to myself because I was moping but now I'm back at home And I'm happy again and I feel ready to upload more videos. So I'm bulk recording right now I'm planning on starting streams again in a side note. I'm finishing college in one year I'm taking 19 credits this semester and it's it's a good amount of work, but nothing I can't handle I'm just trying to push it off until I can have more free time in the summer And I figured it's better for me to make better quality videos than just pump out one video a week Because I knew you guys didn't enjoy that as much and I didn't enjoy it as much and you could tell I also sound sad right now. I'm just tired. It's 12 a.m. Give me a break and I hope you all understand If you're curious on whether or not I'm uploading just make sure to keep track on our twitter I'll always be there until you guys and update you on my life and just know that if I don't upload a week I'm not dead. I'm still here just probably going through stuff and having to finish homework And with that being said if you enjoyed this video give it a like leave a comment down below Subscribe for more videos whenever I have time to post social medias are all right here Go follow my twitch. None of y'all follow it, but we stream pretty often follow my instagram I post really cute photos there. I posted a selfie of this earlier and follow my second channel for more makeup and skincare My gaming channel and my pocket channel and as always I love you all and everything is less than three


Hi, I'm Tim Boyd and we're at Embedded World 2020 at the Toradex booth and we're demonstrating the IMX-6 on our Apollos module with our customers product IPEC and a system crawler. You can have your your pipeline inspection system which has our Apollos IMX-6 right down here. You can inspect the pipeline in case you have any problems. So, yeah, but for now we're having it like have them race a little bit with each other. So it's actually pretty cool because we can have this really four-wheel system compete with each other. Not really the intended way, but I think it makes it really really cool. Hi, Joe Barks. Nice to meet you. So this is an example of what our customers are doing with our system on modules. This is a robot which is used in laboratories and here you see basically it uses our module. They make their customer board with their power designs and drivers to actually control. It's built inside here in the back of this unit to control this robotic arm. And this is used for DNA tests, blood tests and laboratories and the robot basically picks one of these vessels. In this case, it's just a simple shakes it, you know, to basically mix up what's inside the class. But in real life in real life these robots could be four meters long and have 70 different or more stations of chemical processing and lab samples, right? And it changes the tool here and it communicates to the some basically to change the tool and repeats several lab tasks. So this is the one that's inside. Yes. And at Tornex you're perfect to do all these kinds of special projects. Yes, so the thing is I can show you the wall where we show all the different modules we basically have. You just follow me. So so here here you basically see our families, the Apollos family, you see the Colibri family, and that's families you have since multiple years and they pin compatible with each other. And that's our new family, the Verdun family, which is using a newer processor. The iMix 8M has a new interface layout, but I tell you Simon, he will tell you more about basically our products. Hi, I'm Simon and I would like to introduce Verdun family of computer modules. So Verdun is a new family. It's focusing on ease of use, being compatibility and a nice out-of-the-box experience. It is building on the success of Colibri and Apollos form factors and it is the result of 15 years of experience in developing system of modules. We also have some already some solutions from our partners. These products and the carrier boards which you see here are all based on Verdun as a family. It's an interesting and funny fact that development of some of these products happened in less than two weeks. So here I'm having the Verdun iMix 8M mini system on module in my hand. It has USB 2.0 OTG and host. It has a number of high-speed interfaces too, and this is really the first module in the world in family of products. It is based on NXB's iMix 8M mini SOC and it is offering a lot of convenience features for new customers. It really supports short time to market and it is in the low to medium power range to offer a nice solution for anyone interested. So this is the very important next gen? Exactly. So this is a successor of our very successful Colibri family. It is building on next generation technologies, high-speed interfaces, but it's very important. We always want to have it easy to use and ready to work out of the box. So all the stuff you learned by doing this and this you chose the best, your customers said what they wanted and you put the best up over here? Exactly. So the development of Verdun is also based on extensive customer and market research. We had a number of service and when we settled for the interfaces we are choosing for Verdun, we really optimized the interface layout and also the pin-out to make sure that the needs of our customers are really reflected in this new family of products. All right. So it's a big launch here at Abended World. Yes, and we are happy to be here, happy to have Verdun here and happy to have all the carrier boards and our partners here. And now we are walking to Brandon. Hello. So I'm Brandon Shibley, CTO of Toradex and here we have Torizon here at Embedded World. Torizon for Toradex is a easy to use industrial Linux platform. So it's, you know, we're providing a binary Linux distribution. It's built with the Octo project, but we're providing it in a form that it's ready to be used by our customers for Toradex products. So the idea is our customers can take Torizon Core, deploy it on their system and build their application in a container without having to rebuild the entire Linux stack from source code. So you can see some of the guiding principles here of Torizon, things like ease of use, time to market, the ability to provide updates to devices in the field via an over-the-air update client, and we're also providing variants of Torizon Core patch for real-time performance. So if you look around the booth here, we have demos about Torizon showing getting started with Torizon Core, how to develop an application with Torizon Core, how to use containers with embedded Linux, which is fundamental to working with Torizon Core. Also over here, we're showing the over-the-air update service. This is a service that we've launched on Toradex Labs. So it's still an experimental product from Toradex, but it's an OTA service, cloud-based. You can see the the web front end here that we're demoing. So you can manage devices and push updates to a fleet of devices. And so that's the demo here. So this is four different systems running with Toradex hardware running Torizon Core, and we can push an update. And so if you do... Let's see here. If you want to initiate an update, you select an update package, and it will initialize an update. So what it's communicated with the devices here, they will pull down the latest version of the software, and then when everything is complete, it'll initiate a reboot. But we can also cut power to any of these devices during the process to highlight, you know, the resiliency to power cuts. So you'll see that when they've downloaded the image, the new version of the image will have a different color splash screen. Also the application will show a different version number when it's been updated. So this process takes a little bit of time, but that's that's what the demo is showing. Did you have some new considerations with Virgen and the whole Torizon sphere? Yeah, it all plays into Toradex values, things like time to market, ease of use for our customers. So both are designed to allow our customers to develop a product quickly. So around Torizon Core, it's about providing a solution that's ready to be used out of the box. And same thing with Virgen. When you're developing a carrier board with Virgen, it should be simple to take our design guide and our reference designs and quickly build a custom carrier board. So, you know, Torizon Core uses some interesting technology like OS Tree, which is a way to revision control the file system of the of the device. And this is a mechanism that's used for, you know, managing changes to the file system and being able to push new versions to devices. So I think that is the basics here. Obviously containers obviously play a big role here. Like I said, customers building applications in containers are partners also providing solutions. The big launch is a big important event for Toradex to launch a new platform. Yeah, so we've had we previously had Apollos and Calibri. And so Virgen is building on the heritage of our previous product lines. And so with, you know, Virgen, we really are basing the design of this family off of 15 years of experience with Calibri Apollos. And now we have Virgen, which is a small form factor, some with an edge connector. This is a more dense edge connector than what's used on Calibri. It's 260 pins and it's designed also with thermal solutions in mind. So we have some thermal solutions available soon in the also launching with two carrier boards. So a full development board as well as a nice simple smaller board that's nice for evaluation and getting started with Virgen. A lot of bandwidth. Yeah, there's a high speed interfaces brought out here higher speed than we had on Calibri, for example, which was designed years ago. So Virgen, we now design with these newer, more modern high speed interfaces in mind. Things like PCI Express, USB three gigabit ethernet and CSI, DSI, things like that. So all right. So let's go. Yeah, let's let's bring you over here to. We're also showing solutions around Android and QNX. So I'll introduce you here to Leonardo. Hello, my name is Leonardo. I work for the technical marketing team at Toradex and I'm here presenting Android and QNX. So basically Android has been running on Toradex harder for a while. And here we have an Apollos Mx8 quad max hooked to the HDMI display that you can see right in front of you. And this Android is is an offering from one of our partners, Kinetics. And we have a policy in which it is open source so you can customize it by yourself. You have a third party customize it and it also has some nice features such as integrated over the Arab date from Kinetics and others. On the QNX side, we also have it running on Apollos Mx8 quad max and this is brand new. Basically, QNX has done the part to this hardware and it supports out of the box our 10 inch LVDS display with the touch screen. This application specifically does not have touch screen, but it is supported on the QNX BSP. And basically you can install it with two clicks from our Toradex easy installer feed, which is very convenient. And then you can later download the QNX BSP and QNX BSP and SDK and further customize it or have also a third party customize it. So here we add a very convenient way to test QNX and we save a lot of cost for the customer because the part is already done. So you need to customize it only further for your specific needs. So what's the main advantage or what's special about QNX? OK, QNX is a real-time operating system that looks very much like Linux. So you have a very similar directory structure. It is POSIX compliant, which means that you can easily port a Linux app to QNX. And besides being an RTOS, it is also certifiable for many safety applications. So you can have the ASL certification and others like for automotive and health. So usually customers, they tend to use QNX when they can't use Linux because of the reliability. So QNX is really a safety RTOS. If you have a patient hooked to a vital machine. With full GPU accelerated UIs. Yes, yes, it's running OpenGL ES application here. So it has the full graphics stack and it's accelerated. And now I'd like to introduce you to my co-worker Guilherme. So I'm Guilherme and we are showing here soft PLC implementation using Codesys. We have here one of our boards. It's actually built by one of the partners, a K-Hairboard, a HMI K-Hairboard. And we are running here the Colibri IMX 8X, which is based on i.MX 8X from NXP. And basically this device is connected on an EtherCAT industrial network to an IO slave. Yeah, and in this IO slave, it's digital IO inputs and outputs. And we are running Codesys runtime inside Toradex model. And here is the Codesys IDA, which basically it's connected to the model. And we can monitor all the behavior. If I change the switches, I have the behavior here. Or I can use this as an HMI and set the buzzer. Yeah, and the cool thing about this demo, it's built on the top of our Torizon platform. We are using Torizon Core and three different containers to implement the web interface, the Codesys runtime and the GraphQL server. So what's the main advantage of using Codesys? So Codesys is one, it's a market leader in soft PLC. So for use cases where you want that the end user is capable to program your device, Codesys is a good platform because offers a standard IEC 61131 programming languages and implements all that, which is widely spread by the industrial automation market. So you find a lot of developers capable to use this kind of tools. Okay, thanks for watching.


brothers and sisters in Islam. Asalaamu alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh. Welcome to hashtag LNT, a special Ramadan series we have for you guys episode 12. That means Ramadan is mubarak on us and on you guys insha'Allah. But episode 12, meaning we're through 12 episodes, 11 days of Ramadan. And let me just say this, I'm excited, super excited to be here with you guys live I'm in the city of Karbala, bringing to you various topics on various things to talk about. And it's wonderful, insha'Allah. You can benefit from those and wait and see what the upcoming topics are. But for tonight, it's not a debatable topic. Tonight, we're trying to find out how you guys and the people around the world, the Muslims around the world celebrate their Ramadan. But before we go and do that, let's go check out what's trending in today's world. So let's go and do that. Once again, we do welcome everyone for joining us tonight. And tonight, it's one interesting topic that brought the attention of the co-producer and the scriptwriter was the increase in the percentage of the American adults that identified themselves as being either lesbians, gay, bisexual, and transgender. Now, according to a new Gallup estimate, the percentage now is 4.5, which works out to more than 11 million American adults. It's 0.4% higher than 2016, which was 4.1, and 3.5 since 2012. So, you know, the rise of increase or the rise of the number or the percentage, we don't know yet, but for a future question, why is LGBT on the rise? Could be a question for the upcoming episodes or maybe after Ramadan, we never know. But, you know, we just ruined the surprise element. But anyways, that's for the first thing that was trending. But for another thing that's trending, you guys heard about the Hawaiian volcano explosion, and it's going crazy. It's not just affecting the homes and not, you know, a lot of people are, you know, running away from it, a lot of tourists. But the business in Hawaii went down, you know, from hotel managers to anyone that has souvenir shops, whoever has business in Hawaii, their business is going down the drain. And even in luxury hotels, no one's staying there. Even in the sleep and breakfast hotels, like the small hotels, no one is staying there. So, you know, hopefully they can come back, but not anytime soon, because really it did a lot of damage. But let's go and jump in and today's topic. Now, tonight marks the 11th day of Ramadan, episode 12 of hashtag LNT.  You know, the new trend for IHTV, the whole media group from now on is Ramadan Azeem. And let's keep it that way, everyone. Let's make a new trend, you know what I mean? But Ramadan Azeem and Ramadan Mubarak to everyone joining us tonight. And you know, that just means 11 episodes, that just means we're already a third into Allah's best month, Allah's greatest month, Ramadan. So all we have to do is, you know, 19 more days. That's it. If you haven't fasted for 11 days, you know, try to fast until 19 days, but if you have 19 days left, that's it. We're almost done, you know? But, yeah, you know, one joke we'll get to talk about later on, because tonight's topic is very special. Tonight's topic we're talking about how are you spending Ramadan? So the phone calls are open from now. So you can call in, let us know what you guys think. And, you know, but we'll kick it off. I mean, people around the world, everyone, you know, even if you go within a city, you'll see different individuals, different families celebrating Ramadan or spending Ramadan in their unique way and in their unique culture. But tonight, my dear family of hashtag, and everyone, can I, we're trying to find out how are you spending Ramadan in your country? How are you celebrating Ramadan in your country? We did get a few videos from around the world of people telling us what they've done. We'll get to show you guys that after a while, but the number to call us at or send us a voice message or a text message is plus nine, six, four, seven, seven, four, zero, six, seven, 18, 36, and let us know what you guys think. How, or not what you guys think, share your information with us, share your Ramadanic experiences, your Ramadanic, if that's a word, your Ramadan, your specials, what you guys do, what kind of food you guys cook, and what you guys do after a thought. What kind of special traditions and cultures do you guys have? Cause for me, I sleep, I don't, you know, I wake up half hour before Maghrib time. I sleep during the day, wake up half hour before Maghrib time, go get some groceries for the family, some drinks, come back, iftar, then come to the channel, stay up till the morning, and I sleep at 11 a.m. host L and T for you guys, so there you guys have it. So for me, hashtag L and T in the channel has become half of my life. It's a good thing. It's my favorite part of the day. Hashtag L and T has changed a lot for me, and for the crew, of course, for the crew, just makes them more money. I'm kidding, but tonight as I said earlier, we're trying to find out what you guys, what you guys are doing during Ramadan. What has Ramadan done for you? Is it a special month for you guys? All you guys have to do is pick up the phone, open WhatsApp, another number shown below, plus nine, six, four, seven, seven, four, zero, six, seven, 18, 36. All participants, their names will be placed in this bowl right here, in this fish bowl right here. For the final draw, at the end of Ramadan, insha'Allah, for a chance to win a Friz Yata along with many, many, many giveaways. You also live on Facebook, so you can go check us out on there as well. Leave a comment, like, share, do all that good stuff. But let's take a very short break. Let me pop open this Red Bull because I'm tired today, and we'll be back very short. Welcome back. Now we are receiving a few Facebook comments, which we'll get to read out. But tonight, one of the nicest things about Ramadan is that every single family spends it differently. We have families, especially in Karbala. In Karbala, if you're from a Middle Eastern family, you're having a fad and basically everyone's house. So you barely have a fad in your own house. Some people do. They like to keep it, you know, within their families alone. And others, no, they just like to go and eat somewhere else. But what's nice about Ramadan is that different cultures celebrate it differently. So even for Arabs, it's very easy for them and how they break their fads. Some, and I've seen this, which is amazing, some don't eat unless every single person is sitting on the table, on the ground, on the sofa, but or after they pray.  By the time that is done, the foods are digested. So I've seen this personally, you know, it's a kind of a funny joke. But a lot of people do celebrate it differently, as I mentioned early, you know, Ramadan, just like any other, it's not just like any other month where, you know, people might fast on regular days, but they might break their fast alone. But in Ramadan, everyone comes together to celebrate it. One of the things, the nicest things in Ramadan is the Ramadan greetings, where I greeted you guys earlier on in the episode. You know, it's very nice. In Ramadan, if you have a broadcast list, then you don't have to send it personally on WhatsApp, we just send one message that goes to like 300 people at the same time. So don't think that it's personal. Like if you get Ramadan Kareem, hopefully this month is a month of mercy and blessings upon you and your family, or Ramadan Azeem, Neutron, sorry, yeah, Neutron, Ramadan Azeem, don't think it's personal because that person might probably send it to another 200 people. But it's good, it's a good sign that everyone gets to greet each other on this very special month or in this very special month. I have a few friends that I haven't said Ramadan Azeem and Ramadan Mubarak to them. So from hashtag LNT to all my friends and everyone out there, Ramadan Mubarak and Ramadan Azeem once again. The second tradition that a lot of people love, especially myself, I love when it's 7-16 just to break my fast. You know, although I spend it sleeping during the day, which is, you know, sometimes it's a good thing because, you know, as Prophet Muhammad says, no mu'min ibadah, you know, the sleeping of a fasting mu'min, a.k.a. Ahmed Ali, is considered as worship. So I'm basically worshiping Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala during my sleep. So that's a good thing. So, you know, it's easy worship, you know what I mean? You don't have to get up and, you know, pray. All you do, you're mandatory prayers. But at the same time, if you do sleep, that's counted for you as worship. But if you're from the Middle East, there's specific ways that you break your fast. If you're from a Pakistani tradition, when I was in Canada, I was invited a couple of times with my Pakistani friends and we get to see how they break their fast, especially at the community center. They break their fast with, we call it shorba, soup. The Araki's in the Middle Easterns, how they do it, dates, fresh dates or packaged dates, depending on which family you're from.  But you do find some nice fancy stuff like that. But dates, yogurt drinks, and then after it, they get you the soup. And after that, you get to feast, you know what I mean? But in Ramadan, everyone suffers from this thing.  So, in that, feeling dizzy, hopefully no one's feeling dizzy right now because we know some people are breaking their fast or have already broken their fast, but switch cameras. So, in that case, we want to remind everyone to call in and let us know what you guys and how you guys are spending Ramadan in your cities, in your country, in wherever you are, work, you know, how are you working in Ramadan? I know a couple of friends in the UK, they reduce the hour work time because this is funny, this is funny. I don't want to pull the message out because they might get exposed. But one of my friends, I was talking, it was like, how are you spending Ramadan a few nights ago? And he said, bro, I have to reduce my work hours and the work hours of everyone working with me so we don't have to see each other a lot so we don't become savages.  So, Ramadan is a month to cool out and chill out, but a lot of people do get angry in this month. But what else, what kind of traditions are there also out there? For Ramadan, when you turn on TV channels, whether religious, Arabic, or any channel that celebrates Ramadan, we get the Fanous, the lantern. This is a symbol of Ramadan. What else is a symbol of Ramadan is the crescent, but this is very nice. On the night of Ramadan, the lanterns fly or they hang them out in their streets. You'll see that in old villages as well or new ones as well. But these lanterns go all the way back to 969 A.D. to Afero, where they hung lanterns as soon as Ramadan came. They lighted the path of where people go and come. I don't know why they only did it in Ramadan, why didn't they do it in any other month, but I know they probably just wanted to ease the way and make everyone see the street, but it goes back all the way to Cairo, Egypt. But another tradition of Ramadan, especially Araqi, as you all know this, and they're probably playing it right now, Araqi Games, they're not sorry, Ramadan Games, it's called Mhabis. So basically, this ring right here, give me that camera right here. So this ring right here, not this specific one. So the game is called Mhabis, coming from the word Mhabis. So this is a ring, meaning the ring. So two sides, two opposite teams, two teams. A guy hides the ring in his, it's like, I can't remember that game, we used to play it as well. Where you hide it in your hand and the other team, they choose a person to try and guess what hand you have the ring in. And if they get it right, your team loses and they do points and stuff. But that game is famously known in Iraq and the Middle East as well. But switch cameras. Tonight, we would like to remind everyone that tonight is about you guys. It's not about a topic that we wanna debate. It's not about a topic that we're trying to get two parties to debate over or talk about over. No, no, no. Tonight, share your Ramadan experience. How are you spending Ramadan? Let's take a very short break and we'll be back very short. Once again, we do welcome everybody. I was trying to get Facebook so we can check out the comments. We're getting a few comments on there. But let's go check the public opinion and what they've, what people have said in regards to have sent LNT, what they've sent LNT to share their experiences and how they're sharing and how they're spending Ramadan in their own countries. Salam, my name is Ali Najati. I hope everyone's having a great Ramadan. To celebrate Ramadan, what I do is I cook food with my family. I also go out with my friends at night to different places, cafes and eat with them. I also watch various movies with my family and just spend time with others and helping others. Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wabarakatuh. My name is Hossein from Washington, D.C., United States. I celebrate Ramadan by spending time with family, making a flag for people, reading some Quran and listening to religious lectures. Live, Rahman O Rahim. Ramadan is a month of Allah and it's a month we keep offering. The moon is saying Ramadan, people start preparation for Sayyidi. When the time is right, my mother will work up and give all arrangements. In our area, people are starting mass movement from the mass in different styles, like read poetry and preset mass. When the time is right, my mother gave up. After they eat the food, we offer Salat and we said Quran. Then I go to bed because I have to go to office. When the time is right, Qatari or preparation of Qatari. There is a special dish which makes from fruits or fruits that is really tasty and delicious. And then after we perform Namaz, Salat, and then we distribute the food to poor people. Hello, my name is Muhammad from Canada, Toronto. Ramadan Mubarak for you all. I do help homeless in Ramadan. I give them food, I give them money. I go message, pray, and read some of Quran, some pages every day. And Ramadan Mubarak for you all. Thank you. Thank you very much for those who have sent us the videos and especially those who are the last person and the cutie at the last who sent us that video from Toronto Canada. Thank you very much for everyone. But tonight, are we changing? Yeah, we're changing tonight. As I mentioned before the public opinion tonight is about you guys. So what you guys have to do is open the phone, go to WhatsApp, dial the number shown right now and tell us what you guys think. So I'm tired of saying that but I'm gonna say it again so you guys can tune in. Plus nine, six, four, seven, seven, four, zero, six, seven, 18, 36. If I was too quick, just dial it at the bottom. Look at it at the bottom and come on. Anyways, this cam, yeah. To the other cam. Oh, this one. Oh, all right, so okay. All right, so no, today I was confused. When you fast, you get confused. But other traditions that are out there and especially if you're from the Middle East because majority of the Muslims are from the Middle East. In the Middle East, there's a tradition that firing the cannon. Back then, this is an old tradition, but if you're from Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, sometimes in Iraq, you will find a cannon, old cannon that won't be fired today because we don't really need that noise. We have a lot of wars going on so we don't need to read those noises anymore. But the cannon was a sign that time for Eftar. So when Eftar came, they didn't have electricity for large speakers. So what they did, they fired the cannon to let everyone know that it's Eftar time, which is actually a very nice tradition. But I don't know where the cannon ball would fall. Like, would it just fall somewhere else? Personally, I've seen it in Lebanon. It's a very nice tradition, very a while ago. But another thing that is very nice, especially in the Middle East, is the drumming for Sakhour. Those in the West, they're deprived of the noise of the drumming. In the Middle East, children sometimes old, not very old, but adults or young kids, teenagers, 18, 17, unless they walk around the streets. Each neighborhood has two or three of them. They walk around the streets and they hit the drums. And some of them sound like they're dancing. In Iraq, we'll get to know what I'm talking about. But I've just received a voice message from, Farhad from Canada. Here in Canada, my Ramadan is a little bit different from others. I live by myself. I have no family here. And I live far away from the mosques. So I mostly spend my Ramadan time, Ramadan days and nights, along by myself. And the good thing is that I have non-Muslim friends and I get the chance to answer a lot of questions about fasting, Ramadan, and if tari, the food dude, we start, break our Ramadan. So it's a good time here in Canada. This is Farhad Zizi from Tornhill, Canada. Thank you very much Farhad for joining us tonight. Once again, for everyone joining us. We are getting a few Facebook comments. We'll get to read them out later on in the show, inshallah. But spending Ramadan alone is sometimes a good thing and sometimes a bad thing. But inshallah, in your case, it's a good thing because you're spreading the message of Ramadan, which is very beautiful. And not a lot of people, you're one of a kind because not a lot of people get to do that. Everyone gets to spend it in groups, but you're doing a bigger job by telling everyone how Ramadan is, what Ramadan is, and how people actually get to spend it, which is a very unique thing to do. But Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta'ala, in the third segment, if we were to go to the third segment of tonight's episode, Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta'ala made Ramadan as one of the holiest month, if not the holiest month throughout the year. When Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam was asked, what are the holy months? He says, Rajab is the month of Imam Ali. Shaaban is the month of Prophet Muhammad. And Ramadan is the month of Allah. Now when he was asked why Ramadan was the month of Allah, he gave a very long speech. I'm not gonna read that speech out, but if we were just to focus on a few points from that speech, we would find that Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta'ala made this month, as in the dua, Shahrun Azzamtahu Wa Karamta, a month where you have elevated its status and made it filled with bounties and mercies. And you made it a generous month, a month where honestly, if a person gets to spend it properly, then he or she will receive a lot of mercies. And trust me when I say that, because Ramadan, when you're fasting, even for the poor ones, when you're fasting, and it's very nice, especially in the Arab and in the Middle East, they exchange foods. I have witnessed that for a couple of nights where the neighbors get to knock on your door, give you food. Even the poor in that neighborhood, people gather around, they call it the basket of Ramadan. They gather food, some people gather money, they either give it on aid or they give it before Ramadan begins, so the poor family has food to cook. And trust me when I say, and I'm 100% sure that everyone has witnessed this. The food that you get for Ramadan has a lot of barakah. Barakah meaning it has a lot of blessings. Wow, I am really tired today. It has a lot of blessings within it. Where even how much you cook, it will last you longer than the usual because Allah SWT has placed that, not only in your food, but in the entire month of Ramadan. So it's a very beautiful thing that Allah SWT has bestowed upon his believers. But we did just get a text message from Zaynab from Pakistan. He says, I'm celebrating Ramadan here by listening to many Islamic lectures. I've also started learning Arabic to understand the Quran and to make video presentations on various Islamic topics. Thank you very much Zaynab for joining and a very nice way of spending Ramadan. It's actually nice because Ramadan within it, it's one month across the year. You know, the entire year you get to celebrate, you get to have fun, you get to do whatever. But in Ramadan, it's a month of self-discipline where a person has to reflect on his personality, has to reflect on himself to see what wrongs he has done and tries to make them right in this holy month. I was like a New Year's resolution. But I just remembered what I had to say before. Another Ramadan tradition that a lot of people do, I don't know if you, a lot of people do this. It's called the Masafah Sharia. If you know, there's also a Fiqh SOS program on Imam Hussain TV. You guys go and check it out. They're probably talking about it within these few days where a person when he or she is fasting, he's able to break his fast on different ways. But individuals, if they can't really bear the fast or if they're sick and they don't want to break their Siam, they're fasting and fast for another 60 days as a punishment, what they do is they go 22 kilometers, break their fast and come back. I'm not encouraging anyone to do that, but this has become a tradition as well for some to actually go and break their fast. But we just have received another text message from. Razia from Norway. We've been spending Ramadan preparing for the final, for the finals during the days and if tar time we usually break it with a date and a glass of smoothie and then pray Maghrib, we eat after the prayers. Okay, nice, nice, very much. Thank you very much from Razia from Norway. She has participated as well. Your name has already been placed in here. But we do, we did receive text message, but it's, we did just get received message from, my name is Mariam Rana. We do apologize, we're not showing it on the camera or on TV because it's, there's technical difficulty, but she says, my name is Mariam Rana and in my country, Pakistan and Ramadan is celebrated like a festival. In this month people strive to be close to their lords, to their loved ones, their families. This strengthens the family bond a lot. Work hours are reduced, children get holidays from school so the family spends a lot of quality time together and when you turn on the TV everywhere they're all Ramadan transmissions, well okay. Very beautiful, thank you very much. Mariam Rana for joining us tonight. I didn't get the chance to take out the pen, but Mariam Rana. Mariam, okay, thank you very much Mariam. Your name? Oh, this one, all right. All right, your name will be placed in the bowl. Now, the holy month of Ramadan can be celebrated in many ways, you know, a lot of people think that you only have to spend Ramadan in worship, spend Ramadan, you know, praying to the Lord, although it's very beneficial during this month, but alongside your prayers, it's very important to observe that this month is a month where you get to help the poor, you get to reflect on the food that you're putting in front of you for some, and I've been to a few invitations where when it's time for a fattah, a feast goes on. Like I'm not even getting a feast, you don't know what to eat, you don't know how much to eat because the food is just a lot. If we reflect on that food and how much it can help the poor, we're not saying, you know, don't invite people and don't cook good food, no, no, no, absolutely, do it, but at the same time, we need to reflect because if that food goes into garbage, then you're in big trouble because there are needy people in need of that food. So this month is the month of giving back, actually not taking in. That's why we fast from dawn to dusk. Once again, thank you very much, that's it for tonight. There you have it. This is how people in the world spend their Ramadan. Thank you very much for joining us tonight. This is Ahmad Ali, coming to you live from the holy city of Karbalaq. Do stay tuned for the upcoming episodes at 2 a.m. Karbalaq time, 12 a.m. London time, 7 p.m. D.C. time. Thank you very much. As-salamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh.


Well I've got some good news for you. Donald Trump is not going to be the only individual out of a job come January 21st because this douchebag, Ajit Pai, current chairman of the FCC, will also be out of a job. Now what's interesting to me is that his term doesn't actually expire until June. Nonetheless he announced that he will be resigning a little bit early. He'll be also stepping down come January 20th. And as CNBC's Lauren Finer reports, Federal Communications Commission Chairman Ajit Pai will step down from his post on January 20th. The day President-elect Joe Biden is inaugurated. He announced Monday. The announcement means that the FCC could reach a Democratic majority sooner than it would otherwise be able to. Pai's term was slated to expire in June of 2021, though Biden will be able to choose a Democrat to chair the Commission once in office. Commissioners must be confirmed by the Senate. Pai's decision to step down could have significant implications on net neutrality, an issue that helped define his term as chairman. In 2017, Pai voted with his fellow Republican commissioners to remove rules that prohibited internet providers from blocking or slowing traffic to particular sites and offering higher speed lanes at higher prices. Many major internet providers have not yet taken advantage of that rule change, however. Quote, it has been an honorable lifetime to serve at the Federal Communications Commission, including as chairman of the FCC over the past four years, Pai said in a statement, I am grateful to President Trump for giving me the opportunity to lead the agency in 2017, to President Obama for appointing me as a commissioner in 2012, and to Senate Majority Leader McConnell and the Senate for twice confirming me. To be the first Asian American to chair the FCC has been a particular privilege, as I often say, only in America. How inspiring. The five-person commission can have no more than three commissioners from one party at any given time under the law. The president can appoint a chair of the commission from outside the agency or select one of the existing commissioners, such as Democratic commissioners Jessica Rosenworsle and Jeffrey Starks. Okay, so I've got two main things that I want to say. First of all, if Joe Biden chooses Jessica Rosenworsle as the new FCC chair, that is really, really good news for net neutrality proponents because she is a staunch ally to the fight for net neutrality. Second of all, who wants to take bets? How long until Ajit Pai gets a cushy new job at Verizon or Comcast? Because he did exactly what they wanted him to do. Remember that this individual served as legal counsel to Verizon and then he led the FCC. So after delivering the policy that they wanted, of course, they're going to pay him back by giving him a job probably with a really hefty sign on bonus. I'd be surprised if I'm wrong. But trust me, he's going to be part of that industry, either a lobbyist or something. But I think that that's part of the reason why he's stepping down because he wants to go on to make more money. He did everything that he couldn't, except, you know, his effort to undermine net neutrality was partially obstructed by the courts who ruled against him and said that states who enact their own net neutrality laws, well, those states can have those laws on the books because remember, his net neutrality repeal was so nefarious because within his repeal was a clause that blocked states from enacting their own net neutrality laws. And now that is not standing. So states like Washington, California, Oregon, who have net neutrality on the books and New York as well, I believe they make it a lot more difficult for states to do or for internet service providers to do what they want to because states enacted their own net neutrality laws. So why would you go out of your way to, you know, start creating these fast lanes for some states that are less populist than other states? It's a little bit more of a hassle. I mean, maybe they'll do it. Maybe they're waiting on lawsuits. But what we know is that everything that he did can easily be undone with Jessica Rosenwurzel as chairwoman of the FCC or any Democrat that Biden appoints, because again, net neutrality was part of the Obama legacy that I'm assuming Biden will want to maintain and he probably will take a hands off approach to net neutrality. But so long as he puts someone in place of a GPI in this position to undo what he did, that's that's a victory. So this is great news. I cannot wait to see a GPI gone. Good riddance. I know that you'll probably get a job at Verizon, but I don't even care. So long as you're not in the FCC, dictating policies when you are a shill for the industry, that's, that's good for me. Go have fun at Verizon. I hope that you make a lot of money. You certainly deserve it after everything that you did undermining the will of people who did not want you to repeal net neutrality like you did it anyway, in spite of mass protests.

Hey there friends, thanks for checking in today. We're looking at it earmuffs defense X fire making its way Throughout the interweb people are starting to notice this handgun. It's a glock pattern pistol with glock mags and an aluminum frame also has some Additional features on there that people are excited about for a budget price You're looking at anywhere between 350 to 4 and a quarter for this and I mentioned it has Glock mags or glock pattern mags. This is a glock pattern mag. It's unbranded could be an aftermarket Company making those or earmuffs defenses and then here is a glock mag All right, you can see glock right there and then a couple additional optic plates Set to fit about eight different optics and all of its variants another unbranded mag. This is a Cleaning kit in this tube here as well as a hex wrench. It also comes with red grips, so they offer a lot for a Pretty attractive price. You're looking at on the low end right around $350 so there are some things I like about it some things. I don't care for I took it out shooting twice at riders range and this is his gun and It's it's it's a decent looking and feeling gun. That's for sure. They all come optic ready there true glow rear sights that are fiber optic green and a Red front sight so the sight picture is pretty nice. It aligns.  I am measuring that at a solid six and a half pounds. So when you pull the trigger it is a Bit of a pull there no over travel with a reset similar to glock Not bad the one thing I noticed one of the things I don't care for is that it does pinch my finger that tab it For some reason night. I've shot several guns with that Safety in there, but for some reason this one just pinches after you shoot a full mag of 9 millimeter and that's what's chambered in by the way 9 millimeter has that cutout right there cutouts in the slide looks pretty cool Disassembles the same way rather tight barrel on to the slide I'm going to show that some slide serrations right here not bad for everything that it is That's offered with it. It's it has a decent feel. Why am I not super crazy about this? Well, I already mentioned heavy trigger pull It is priced right. I'm all for that. They do offer a lot and it's optic ready So out of the case there's not much you have to do with this if you want the red grips you can put the red grips in They are polymer Okay decent Overall ergonomics that cut out there You grip this has a nice feel a little bit more heavier than your standard polymer 9 millimeter handgun But I did not shoot it well and the first time I took it out I shot it okay the second time which I recorded I did not shoot it well at all now That could be me that has happened before and then I take it out again. I shoot it better. So I'm putting that on me That I just didn't settle into this gun as quick as I had hoped for but it is a bit on the heavy side Let's go ahead and take a look at that and we'll get into the the internals because something about that Barrel into the slide it was kind of tough to get out the unloaded weight you're looking at 29 and a quarter ounces. Let me grab a glock mag because I have a glock 19 here. We're gonna compare it 29 and a quarter Unloaded glock 19 24 and an 8 so we're looking at approximately five Five ounces heavier. Okay, now if you're into metal frame guns, you'll certainly dig it 35 and 78 So right around 36 ounces loaded that is 16 rounds right there We'll put the glock on there and see if we still have that yeah We're still looking at five five and a half ounces lighter with the glock But one thing I noticed when you disassemble this pistol, okay, we are unloaded One thing I'd like I will mention is that it has full-length frame rails and that's pretty cool That's a nice feature there and I like that and it has a captive dual recoil spring all metal So you get the benefit there and take that over a glock and then getting this barrel out of The slide is a bit of a challenge It is tight see the way it wedges in there. It doesn't offer much forgiveness and there I got it out Maybe over time that'll change and then even to get it in It's not a smooth fit now. It is machined fairly well Okay, you can see it's got the safety there everything looks pretty standard for the most part But getting this back into place It's a bit of a challenge. I like the full-length frame rails so I think that is certainly a nice touch and then we have the dual captive recoil spring so 350 bucks a lot of people are raving about it. They're saying it's a phenomenal handgun for the price and I'm sure these are people that shot the ermax X defense ermax defense X fire Better than I did but overall not a bad looking handgun. Am I gonna go run out and try to get one of these for 350? I don't think so. I just don't think so. It's There's nothing wrong with it and perhaps you'll shoot it better than I did I just didn't settle into it very well. There's a look at the business end I like the fiber optic sights. I like the Optic ready and they offer a couple additional plates and that's nice You don't have to call the company and ask them to send you out plates decent feel Pinsch is my finger heavy trigger pull but it certainly fired everything that I put through it and that's certainly a a good Recturistic for a budget gun and that's what it is It's a budget gun that is glock pattern with an aluminum frame and all those additional accessories in the case with 315 round mags a little bit more on the heavy side, but that's what you get with a metal Well aluminum frame which is metal pistol and you're gonna get a heavier gun that a Lot of people prefer they say I'm sick of those poly nines Give me metal and you can get that with the X fire Irmach's Irmach's X fire defense.

Hello and welcome to the session. This is Professor Farhad. In this session we're going to be looking at reasons for accounting diversity and specifically it's going to be one reason rather than reasons and that reason will be cultural factors. We looked at other five reasons in the prior session and I'm going to only look at the cultural factor. I believe the cultural factors are important. That's why I want to emphasize them in one separate recording. This topic is usually covered in an international accounting course. I'm not really sure how much it's covered on the CPA exam.

I also have a Gumroad account where I have premium CPA material and you could also access my website. In this session, we're going to be looking specifically for one reason for accounting diversity and that reason is the cultural factor, cultural factor. We looked at legal system basis of taxation, providers of financing, inflation and political ties in the prior session. I'm going to be focusing on this session separately. Now, we have to understand that the culture shapes the way we think, culture shapes the way we do business, culture shapes the way we communicate and different cultures or different countries have different cultures or sometimes there's many cultures within the same country. Understanding the cultural dimension will help you understand how accounting rules are set up. I'm not saying one culture is better than the other. Each culture is different. I just want to let you know that understanding those cultures will help you understand how to communicate with other people. That's the purpose of it. The way you are raised in a certain culture will influence the way you do accounting. The sixth reason for accounting diversity is national cultures. National is not really, I don't like the word national. I think it's exclusive because within some nations, there are many cultures. I'm going to call it national cultures. Just don't get hung on it where, well, I'm a nation, I'm a national of this country. Well, that's not really my culture. Again, within each country or with each geographical area, you have many, many cultures. To address this cultural aspect, we're going to look at Hofstad's cultural dimension, okay, which is a Hofstad cultural dimension theory is a framework for cross cultural communication developed by this psychologist, Gerd Hofstad. He's a Dutch psychologist. He classified countries into 10 different cultural areas. Again, you might have more, but he did it that way. Hofstad is a Dutch social sociologist. He's a former IBM employee and a professor of organizational anthropology and international management at Masquerick University in the Netherlands. He's a well known for his research. What he did, when he was working at IBM, he collected data from the employees across the globe at IBM and created this five cultural dimension. And if you study international management, you might learn about them. Sometimes there are four of them. Sometimes they say it's five, but definitely there are four. The first dimension is individual versus collectivism. And what does it mean individual versus collectivism? Basically, it's a preference for loose or tight social fabric. Simply put, this dimension focuses on the question about whether people prefer a close network or people prefer to basically be by themselves, be individualistic and fend for themselves. Now, I can tell you, for example, the U.S. versus Japan. Okay, the U.S. society is to a great degree, it's considered in quote aggressive society, they thrive on success, they thrive on competition, they thrive on individualism. Japan on the other side, they prefer collectivism. For example, in the U.S., we use a lot of A, I, I, I. In Japan, they use we as a company, as a society, as a country. The U.S. is more individualism versus collectivism. Nothing wrong with either or, it's just this is, this is just to understand this cultural, this cultural dimension. Another cultural dimension is power distance. What is a power distance? It's the extent of hierarchy accepted, or is it a egalitarian value are embraced in the organizations or institution? Basically, it's the degree in which the less powerful member of a society accept and expect that power to be distributed unequally. For example, I'll give you maybe an extreme example will be South Korea.  So there's this power distance and the people underneath you accept that power distance. A case in point about the power distance, one time there was South Korean flight. I don't remember the flight number, but there was a crash, South Korean crash. And what they did, they, you know, every time there's an airplane crash, they study what happened in the cockpit, in the cockpit of the airplane and from the black box. And what they did when they studied the communication and that black box, what they find out is the engineers who were on the plane, the engineers and the co-pilot, they were warning the pilot indirectly that something is not right, but they could not come out and communicate that information more forcefully. Why?  So they tried to communicate this information about the weather, but they did not do it forcefully. And that's what the black box shows. Okay? Versus in Sweden, in Sweden, basically the power distance is very low. You know, the managers and the employee, the prime minister and the regular citizen, they're very close in a sense that there is no power distance in between. Okay? This is basically, again, a cultural dimension. The third cultural dimension is uncertainty avoidance. And uncertainty avoidance basically state how uncomfortable are you with uncertainty and ambiguity? In some countries, people, generally speaking, are very comfortable with uncertainty and ambiguity. In other cultures, they are not. So we have to understand. For example, the U.S., the U.S., uncertainty and avoidance, we embrace uncertainty and avoidance. Okay? Japan, the Japanese culture, they are a little bit less, they don't embrace uncertainty avoidance. And just because you embrace uncertainty avoidance, this is why you have many entrepreneurs in the U.S., this is why you have companies like Facebook, Google, people take chances. Now you're not going to succeed every time, but the point is the culture encourages this risk taking. So uncertainty avoidance is not if you take a chance, you are not being ashamed. Actually, you are considered a hero because you took a chance. In other countries, if you took a chance and you failed, you know, the society may shame you. So uncertainty avoidance is another one of those important cultural dimension that half-sits talk about. Okay? The fourth one is masculinity. Now, masculinity doesn't mean man versus woman. It just basically, it's do you value performance, achievement, heroism versus caring and nurturing. This is what masculinity is. It's a preference. You have a preference for achievement, heroism, assertiveness, material reward for success. And in the U.S., we are a masculine society to a great degree. Or do you prefer cooperation? Do you prefer modesty? Do you prefer caring for the week? Do you prefer for the quality of life? Like in Japan, they more care about the quality of life. Okay? In the U.S., not as much in terms of work environment. It's basically a byproduct, but not a main dish. Okay? The fifth dimension is long-term orientation. Basically, this came about later on. Basically, what is your focus? Is your focus short-term orientation? Or do you look at the long-term perseverance and threat? Certain societies deals with, right now, I want the profit right now. Like in the U.S., we want the profit now. And this is why we report on a quarterly basis. This is why we watch Wall Street. This is why stocks go up and down very quickly because we are short-term oriented. In other societies, they look at the long-term, the long-term effect. So understanding those cultural dimension would help you understand that different countries have different cultures, and your culture would influence the way your accounting system or your accounting set up, your accounting organization set up the rules based on the cultural dimension because you are what your culture is. Along with half-study cultural dimension, we're going to look at Sydney John Gary. Sydney John Gary is actually an English professor of international business at the University of Sydney Business School. He identified four widely recognized accounting values. So now that I'm looking at accounting values, then we're going to combine the accounting values with half-study's cultural dimension that can be used to define a country's accounting subculture. So what he did, he kind of identified from the literature four widely recognized accounting values. And by the way, he was the president of the International Accounting Association. So the first accounting value is professionalism versus statuary control. And basically, what is this value? It's the preference for professional judgment versus prescribed legal requirement. For example, in the US, to a great degree, the accounting profession is self-regulated. Self-regulated means the accounting profession regulate itself. Now, the reason I said to a great degree is because up until the 2002, when Sarbanes-Axley, when Sarbanes-Axley occur, when we had the fraud and Ron Ward come in, Sarbanes-Axley was enacted by Congress. To a great degree, we will self-regulate it. The accounting profession and the auditing profession was self-regulated. Then comes Sarbanes-Axley and they created the PCAOB, the public company accounting oversight board, which is a government organization that started to overseas the auditing profession. Yes, the SEC does play a role, but to a great degree, the profession is self-regulated. In other countries, it's more prescriptive legal requirements. What they do, they look at laws in order to know the rules for the accounting. So it's drafted by laws. And we talked a little bit about this in the legal system in the prior session. Another accounting value is uniformity versus flexibility. And what is uniformity versus flexibility? Uniformity accounting practices between companies, so are using the same accounting practices between companies versus flexibility between companies and over time vis-a-vis flexibility in according with perceived circumstances of individual companies. So simply put, do you prefer that all companies use the same accounting practices or are you going to allow flexibility for companies of the company have different circumstances? You allow the company to record, to recognize, to measure the transaction differently, inserting certain countries or certain culture. They prefer uniformity. This way it's easy. It's all the same. We don't have to worry about it. I'm going to tell you in the US, we have more flexibility. The way you book a transaction might be a little bit different depending on your industry, depending on the circumstances. So some accounting, in some countries they value uniformity and some they value flexibility. Conservatism versus optimism. What is our views of business? Are we, do we take cautious approach or are we risk taken? Are we more optimistic or are we less optimistic or more careful? We take a cautious approach. And depending how we look at business, we set our accounting rules. So certain countries are more cautious. Again, I always mentioned the US because I'm most familiar with the US. In the US, we are more kind of toward the risk taking, although we have the concept of conservatism, but our conservatism still less conservative, less conservative relatively speaking to other countries. Secrecy versus transparency. Do we value secrecy or do we value transparency? For example, in the US, as I mentioned earlier, because the shareholders are public shareholders, we value transparency. We want more disclosure. In other countries, they value secrecy. For example, in Latin America and Mexico, Colombia, they, they like secrecy. In Japan, in Germany, they prefer secrecy. Okay, so it's the preference for confidentiality or restriction of disclosure, like in some Asian countries or Latin America versus transparency and openness, like in the US, in the UK. So those are the four accounting values. Now, what we're going to do, we're going to look at the accounting values in conjunction with half-stated cultural dimension. Okay, and what we will see is this. For example, let's take, since we're talking about conservatism, let's look at conservatism. What we will see, we will see that conservatism is a positively link to uncertainty avoidance and is a positively link to long-term orientation. And hopefully this makes sense. When you are a conservative, and if your nature is conservative, if your cultural dimension is conservative, you are going to avoid uncertainty. You're going to have strong a tendency toward uncertainty avoidance because your nature is conservative. Also, you're going to have, you're going to have a more orient, long-term orientation. You're looking at the long-term, you're not looking for quick results. And the opposite is true.  You don't care about uncertainty and avoidance. Okay. And also, you're going to have, rather than long-term orientation, you will have short-term orientation, short-term orientation. Okay. Let's look at another one. For example, if you, if it's, if, if you value, if your accounting values are professionalism, you're going to be high on individualism and high on masculinity. Why? Because as an individual, you are self-regulated. You self-regulate yourself. You don't want somebody to tell you what to do. It's individualism. You don't want an organization. You don't want the legal system.  And also, you'll be high on masculinity. Again, you'll be negative. You'll be negative on long-term orientation. Why? Because if you have high professionalism, most probably you're looking for short-term. You are looking most likely for short-term, for short-term results. I would look at secrecy as well.  Why? Because power distance preserve the secrecy. Okay. So if you are up high, I know you don't need to know because you're down below. So there's a power distance. So secrecy will be high. Also, uncertainty avoidance, uncertainty avoidance. You don't want, we don't want any ambiguity. We want everything to be clear in a sense that there are certain things you need to know and others you don't know. So we want to preserve that secrecy. Okay. Also, you'll be high on long-term orientation. You're looking for the long-term. You're not looking for the short-term. Okay. And as a result, if you have any information, you might keep it to use it later on. You're preserving your secrecy. Okay. And you could take a look at uniformity, just FYI. Okay. So those are basically the cultural dimension of half-study in conjunction with the accounting values. Now, many studies were conducted. It doesn't mean this is not a scientific method. This is just basically to give you an idea. So if you are dealing with an international situation, you have an idea how different culture, how different culture value, different values basically. And here, this is another, this is another ranking. For example, the Anglo countries, who are the Anglo countries, the U.S., the U.K., English-speaking countries, Canada, New Zealand, Australia, they are low on secrecy and low on conservatism. There's a relationship. If you are low on secrecy, you are low on conservatism. Okay. You don't value secrecy and conservatism, you're low on conservatism. Versus, if we're going to go to the other extreme, less developed Latin countries, they're high on secrecy and they are more conservative. They are more conservative. Here, we're talking companies, countries like Colombia, Mexico. Then there's some in between. For example, Japan, they're high on secrecy, but not as high as Latin America and high on conservatism. Okay. So, nor the countries, Sweden, Norway, they're low on secrecy and low on conservatism. Again, those, just the reason you are learning this or the reason you are being exposed to this, just you know that there are different factors that affect accounting, the fact how we book transaction and cultural dimension play an important role in how accounting, accounting rules are created, how accounting organization, what, what do they value? Well, they're going to value their culture and whatever their culture is, it's going to factor into their institutions, into their accounting institution. In that factor, it's going to flow down into the way they do accounting. Hopefully, you would appreciate the cultural factor. Make sure if you have the book, read the book, read the textbook.

All right, so I am well aware of the fact that whenever we talk about COVID-19 on this channel. It's almost always negative and There's a lot of bad news. It's a public health crisis a global pandemic Of course, there's not gonna be that many rosy stories having said that though this time in this video We're gonna break the cycle because we actually have some genuinely encouraging news So first of all COVID-19 cases in the United States are in fact down and they're down substantially So we've seen a 24 percent decline in new cases over the last two weeks Which signals an end to the Delta variant surge, which is great news now second of all We have multiple studies now confirming just how effective the COVID-19 vaccines are and they are very very effective So in early July researchers at Yale University and the Commonwealth Fund estimated that the COVID-19 vaccines have saved 279,000 lives because of these vaccines incredible and a report from the Department of Health and Human Services found that nearly 40,000 elderly lives were spared between January and May Because of the COVID-19 vaccines and they also prevented hundreds of thousands of new infections Now as Kenny Stenslop common dreams explains according to the study on the relationship between county level inoculation rates and COVID-19 outcomes among Medicare beneficiaries, which was conducted by researchers at the US Department of Health and Human Services vaccines helped ward off 265,000 infections 107,000 hospitalizations and 39,000 deaths during the first five months of 2021. That is absolutely incredible hundreds of thousands of lives saved because of the COVID-19 vaccines and 40,000 elderly lives saved During January and May that is truly remarkable the vaccines work And they're not just beneficial for you as an individual, but they're great for society as well In fact, they're really good for society because new research by British researchers at the University of Oxford Found that they also reduce transmission If you've been fully vaccinated You are less likely to spread COVID-19 to your peers now Dr. Akshai Sahel gives us the breakdown about this new data in an NBC news article and explains people who are vaccinated against COVID-19 are less Likely to spread the virus even if they become infected a new study finds adding to a growing body of evidence that vaccines can reduce Transmission of the Delta variant British scientists at the University of Oxford examined national records of 150,000 contacts that were traced from roughly 100,000 initial cases the samples included people who were fully or partially vaccinated with either the Pfizer Beyond-tech or AstraZeneca vaccines as well as people who are unvaccinated The researchers then looked at how the vaccines affected the spread of the virus if a person had a breakthrough infection with either the Alpha variant or the highly contagious Delta variant both vaccines produced transmission Although they were more effective against the Alpha variant compared to the Delta variant when infected with the Delta variant a given contact with 65% less likely to test positive if the person from whom the exposure occurred was fully vaccinated with two doses of the Pfizer vaccine With AstraZeneca a given contact was 36% less likely to test positive if the person from whom the exposure occurred was fully Vaccinated the risk of transmission from a breakthrough infection was much higher if someone had received just one dose of either vaccine So this is really really encouraging. It's it's great to hear It's another reason to take the vaccine if you don't care about yourself Then you should take the vaccine if you care about other people now This study has not been peer reviewed as of yet But researchers are confident that this is actually a very high quality study In fact, Dr. Aaron Richmond of the University of Pennsylvania says this about the study. It's the highest quality study We have so far on the question of infectiousness of vaccinated people and infected that are infected with Delta So this is really really encouraging news the vaccines are saving hundreds of thousands of lives and We're really privileged to have them to have them not just be free but widely available Especially considering there are people in developing countries that still haven't even been able to get their first dose so the fact that we have this here this truly speaks to the innovations and the amazingness of modern medicine things to Government funding as well, but it's important So the reason why I'm talking about this is because if you're one of the few people who watch the show that aren't Vaccinated and you come here just to troll for whatever reason. I mean the data speaks for itself This is actual science unlike the memes that you're sharing on Facebook by your racist aunts and uncles This is data. This is evidence So at this point with everything that we know with all of the data that we have available Anyone who's discouraging you from taking the vaccines any other youtuber whose video catalog looks like this They are not to be taken seriously in fact with the evidence that we have Confirming how effective these vaccines are this kind of misinformation at this point is bound to get someone killed But I mean when you have a conspiratorial right wing audience to appease You have to make some sacrifices and if you gamble with people's lives, I guess some people are willing to pay that price But for me, no, I'm not willing to pay that price. I want you to protect yourself and others I want you to get vaccinated.  I took it. I'm fine.   Now, thankfully again cases are down So I don't want to turn this into a negative video. So I apologize for digressing, but We've got to get the vaccine. It's available.
