Today I'm sharing with you 10 of the best and easiest Instant Pot recipes. Now we took a poll on Instagram and I was surprised to see that about 30% of you have taken your Instant Pots out of the box. The rest of you, it's still sitting in its box. So I'm here to tell you today is the day. You can do it. Pull it out of the box. Don't worry, it won't explode. And if you haven't used your Instant Pot in a while, it's time. It's time to use it. So to make your life a little bit easier, I put together my top 10 list of Instant Pot recipes. I hope you love them. Four ingredient chicken tacos. First I'm gonna start with a half a cup of water in the bottom of your Instant Pot.  You can use thawed too if you'd like. Next we're adding one tablespoon of chili powder and then we're gonna add one tablespoon of cumin. And that is it. Just those four ingredients, throw everything in, put the lid on, make sure that the little knob is turned to ceiling, not venting, you want it to cook. You're gonna push pressure cook or the manual button. And because mine is frozen, I'm gonna go up to like 24 or 25 minutes. But if it's thawed, you could do about 20 and you'd be good. Now after you set the timer, it's gonna say on. That means you did it right. So go ahead and walk away. You're good to go. So when it was all done, I let it release on its own. So after the timer beeped, I let it sit there for about 10 minutes. And then I turned the knob for the rest of the pressure to get out. So now that my chicken is all the way done, you can shred it either in your pot or you can take the chicken out and shred it there. Sometimes it's easier to pull it out and shred it up. Now once it's all shredded, it's time to make the tacos. So I'm gonna make three right here and just show you how I do it and what I like on it. Now this taco, make sure you drain out the chicken pretty well or it will become juicy, as you can see in my middle one. So I love to add corn with it, salad, sour cream, tomatoes, avocado, salsa, literally anything you want on your tacos will be delicious with these shredded chicken tacos. Creamy mac and cheese. Now my noodle of choice today is small shell noodles. So you just need one pound of noodles. Then you're gonna put them in the bottom of your instant pot. You're gonna take your pot and fill it just until the noodles are covered with water. Next go ahead and put your lid on, make sure it's sealed correctly. Now if you have a knob, you want to turn it to ceiling, not venting. Next you'll push manual or pressure cook button and go to four minutes. Now after a few seconds it will say on, that means you're good, you can walk away. Now after the four minutes you can turn the knob to release it, but just beware with pasta, sometimes it makes a giant mess. So you can turn it back and forth releasing the pressure slowly. Once all the pressure is out, go ahead and lift the lid up and your pasta should be done. So first I'm gonna add about eight tablespoons of butter. I like to use salted butter. That's my favorite in macaroni and cheese. Next you're gonna add about a half a cup of milk. Now we're gonna add a little bit more, but right now we're just gonna add half a cup. Then we're gonna add two cups of sharp cheddar white cheese. Did you hear that? Sharp cheddar cheese. It is amazing. And then about a half a cup to a cup of shredded parmesan. So now it's time to just mix everything in. So slowly, gently mix it in. Now it'd be easier to push the saute button just to get it warm or warmer on the bottom to melt your butter faster and to melt your cheese faster. Now because it is really cheesy you want to make sure to add just a little bit more liquid just so you can make it creamy, not so chunky cheesy. So I added a half a cup more of milk. Then you're just gonna continue mixing until all of your butter is melted and all of your cheese is mixed together. Now you can add just a little bit of salt and pepper. I just like to add salt in my mac and cheese and then go ahead and mix that in as well. Now when you're all done your cheese should be nice and creamy. This is how we like it. Now when I serve it I also like to add just a little bit of parmesan cheese on top and there you have it. Open faced beef sandwiches. Okay so for this recipe obviously you need a roast but then you need some beef broth, some Worcestershire sauce, some seasoning. So we have garlic powder, onion powder, and then some salt and pepper. Two packets of brown gravy and then I like to use sourdough for my base so you just want a big slice of bread for the bottom. All right so my roast is kind of huge so I'm just gonna add the seasoning into the bottom of the pot. So we're just gonna it's kind of these seasonings are to taste. I'll do about a teaspoon of each one. So we have about a teaspoon of salt, about a teaspoon or so of pepper and I'm trying to get it on the roast. We'll see how this goes. About a teaspoon of some garlic powder, about a teaspoon of onion powder. Okay so the first thing we're gonna do is just add about a cup and a half of beef broth. So then we're gonna add both packets of our brown gravy and then one tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce, Worcestershire sauce whatever you call it that's what it is. One tablespoon of that and we're gonna mix this all together. Now if you seasoned your roast which I'm kind of seasoned you want to put your gravy on the side you don't want to cover it cover up your roast because we want to leave those seasonings or as much as we can on the roast. I'm gonna go ahead and put the lid on. Now if you have a little knob that goes from ceiling to venting make sure it's on ceiling. Now this Instant Pot's a little bit different. My pressure cooks over here and so we're actually gonna go for about an hour and 30 minutes you know I could even go higher if I wanted to just because we want it to just sit in here for as long as we can. Now with this one I actually have to push start and we're good to go. All right many hours later I actually let it sit in here for about five more hours once the timer went off and then I actually already opened it up and shredded all the beef so we are ready to go. Okay so I have our sourdough ready to go I like to have a little bit of vegetables and I wanted some mashed potatoes with it so we're just gonna go ahead take out the meat just put it right onto the sourdough. Now you can easily make some beef gravy out of this just add a little bit of cornstarch and water but I am out of time so I'm actually just going to take this and just put it right onto my bread the bread might be a little bit soggy but that's okay and then I'm also going to add some of this broth onto my potatoes. Sweet and tangy meatballs so make sure your Instant Pot is plugged in then you're going to add anywhere between 30 ounce and 64 ounce of your favorite meatballs. I got these ones at my local Kroger then you're going to add about 18 ounces of grape jelly it can be any brand it doesn't matter. Now I should probably use the spoon when I got this out but I really wanted to squeeze it out. Next I'm going to add a 12 ounce container of Heinz chili sauce now you can get any branded chili sauce you can also find this at any store I got this one at Kroger and really just pour the whole entire thing on your meatballs. Now with the Instant Pot it's important to add water so we're adding a half a cup of water right on top then you're going to put your lid on turn it and make sure that it's on the ceiling you want to on ceilings will actually pressurize. On the Instant Pot you're going to push manual and set it for 10 minutes then just walk away. When it's all done cooking you can do quick release notice how the steam is coming out quickly that releases all the pressure so when it's done steaming nothing else comes out you can turn it and open it just still be careful it's going to be a little steamy and hot and let them cool down for about a minute and then I'm just going to mix it all together get that sauce covering all of the meatballs. Now you can serve this over rice I serve mine over instant rice because I could cook it the same time I did my Instant Pot this really is one of my kids favorite recipes. For the next recipe I'm going to be making enchilada rice now first make sure your Instant Pot is plugged in then you're going to take two cups of brown rice I like to use the long grain brown rice or you if you don't like brown rice you can use white rice too. Next you're going to add two and a fourth cups of water next add one can of black beans make sure you rinse them and you drain them then add one 15 ounce can of your favorite enchilada sauce I liked red that's mild sprinkle a little salt on for taste then I added one teaspoon of cumin here now you're all done put your lid on turn it make sure you hear that little noise and make sure it's on ceiling so it'll actually cook. Now I'm going to push the rice button usually you can cook rice for seven minutes I'm going to bump mine up to 10 minutes because they're going to be inside of a tortilla so I want them a little bit more mushy and soft so I did quick release again just releasing the pressure now as soon as the steam stops I'm able to open up my Instant Pot and don't be alarmed at first there looks like a lot of liquid on top but you're actually going to mix that in now as you're mixing it's a good idea to grab a hot pad and hold on to your pan and mix it will make your life a little bit easier now to put them together I like to serve mine on tortillas I also like to add a little bit of chicken sour cream avocados really whatever toppings you like they will be delicious with fall off the bone ribs so first I'm going to add a lot of salt on top of my ribs and then a little bit of pepper next you're going to grab some apple juice and pour about a cup to a cup and a half into your pot now this is your liquid so you'll be able to get the pressure now my Instant Pot is a six quart and the ribs I'm using are beef ribs so they're actually a lot bigger but if you're using pork ribs you can put them in your Instant Pot just like this in any size of Instant Pot but because my ribs are so big they don't fit that way so I'm going to show you how I put them in so first you're just going to cut them right down the middle try not to cut the bone and try and make the meat is even on both sides if you can as soon as you're done cutting them you're going to put them inside the Instant Pot one on top of the other then put on your lid make sure you seal it tight and always always make sure it's on sealing so it will work then you're going to press your meat stew button and go all the way down to 25 now I let this recipe do a slow release meaning I let it release on its own so now I'm just going to check yep there's no pressure so I'm going to open it up and the smell of these things are amazing so I'm going to take some tongs pull them out and put them on a lined cookie sheet I lined it with foil so my cleanup is going to be a breeze before your Instant Pot is done cooking go ahead and preheat your oven to broil so it'll be about 550 degrees or broil now before we broil these we're going to spread some barbecue sauce on them so they'll be caramelized I guess in barbecue sauce so I just did a few squirts of barbecue sauce you can use any kind of barbecue sauce you like and then I just spread it around so it will be pretty even on each rib then when you're done stick them in the broiler for about two to four minutes you need to watch it so it doesn't burn your ribs now instead of just dumping this applesauce I'm going to put some potatoes in it because I'm going to have mashed potatoes with my ribs this is totally optional but I'm all about easy side dishes and you have your potatoes in you're just going to turn it make sure it's sealed and then you're going to push manual first turn it off because if it's already on turn it off then turn it back on again there we go then you'll push manual you're going to go up to 15 minutes while those are cooking my ribs are done and they look amazing now because I only put a few potatoes on you can do a quick release and it won't splatter everywhere so there you go so I just took them out I mashed them up with my potato masher and there you go you have ribs and a perfect side of mashed potatoes so you're going to start by putting two or three chicken breasts in the bottom of your instant pot now these are chicken tenders you can use tenders or you can use chicken breasts now if you are making this in the slow cooker you're going to do the same exact thing that I do in my instant pot except when it's cooking you're going to cook for six to eight hours on low next you're going to add two cloves of garlic I also like to use the minced garlic so it's about one teaspoon next you're going to add one teaspoon of chili powder oh got a little too much there next you're going to add one teaspoon of worcestershire one teaspoon of that sauce then add one teaspoon of tabasco sauce in it now that seems like a lot but it actually isn't too spicy if your kids are funny about spice maybe do a half teaspoon then on top of that I'm going to add one small chopped onion next add one chopped red pepper now they didn't have red peppers at my store so I used an orange one then one can of drained black beans then you're going to add one can of corn you're not going to drain the corn dump everything in next add two cups of your favorite enchilada sauce then you're going to add four cups of chicken broth now I love to get these big containers because I know it's already four cups and I can just dump the whole thing in without measuring next you're going to add a little bit of salt and a little bit of pepper and then you're ready to cook if you're doing the instant pot make sure you turn the handle and make sure the little thing is on sealing not venting if you're cooking with the slow cooker put the lid on and set it for 68 hours with the instant pot you're going to go manual for 20 minutes now when it's done cooking I did a quick release so that means I pushed it over to venting and let all the steam out and I'm going to take the lid off oh it smells so good now I'm just going to find my chicken and shred it now with the instant pot it is going to be really hard to hold on to and it will shred very very easily now when you're done shredding your chicken you're going to add one half cup of cream and then about a half a cup of sour cream I might add a little more because I love when it's nice and creamy then when you're done with that stir it in a little bit so the sour cream can melt and the cream will mix in pretty good next you're going to add two cups of cheddar cheese mix it really well until everything is melted and well combined now if you're doing this in the slow cooker you're going to do the same exact thing you're just going to make sure it's still on low while your sour cream and cheese are melting that's all done I like to serve it with cheese so the cheese is melting some little tortilla strips and cilantro on top instant pot beef stroganoff so I put a little olive oil in the bottom of my instant pot pushed saute and then I have stew meat that I threw in now I'm putting garlic salt salt and pepper in there and now I'm just going to mix it around so it will sear the meat just a little bit so I'm going to let it sear for just about two to three minutes and then I'll add some other things so on top of the meat you're just going to add some onions I did half of an onion but you can do a whole onion then add half a teaspoon of garlic or one garlic clove and then I added a whole container of mushrooms if you don't like mushrooms you don't have to add them in but I love them so I added a lot then you're just going to mix it all up for a little while while your instant pot is still on saute you'll notice that the instant pot recipe is a little bit different than the slow cooker recipe and we're going to add two tablespoons of flour right now and then mix it all together all right then we're going to add one tablespoon of where's to share where's to shire however you call it it's that sauce one tablespoon of it right on top and then you're going to pour three cups of beef broth right on top and you'll have one cup left if you have a container like that keep that because we're going to put that in later on all right our food is ready to cook we're going to go ahead and put the lid on now make sure that it seals tightly and that it's on sealing not venting now mine is on saute right now so I'm going to turn it off then I'm going to push the manual button and go up to 12 minutes now as soon as all the pressure is released go ahead and take off the lid oh my goodness it smells so good so now I'm going to add about 16 ounces of egg noodles now when I'm done dumping it in I'm going to stir it around a little bit if there is lots of moisture in there go ahead and don't add any beef broth but I felt like I needed just a little bit more and so I added about a half a cup more of beef broth so now you're going to close the lid again make sure that it's on sealing again and then we're going to cook it so you're going to have to turn your instant pot off again then push manual and go down to four minutes that's how long noodles take to cook now when it's all done I did a quick release because my kids were ready to eat and I was starving too so go ahead and take the lid off then you're going to take one cup of sour cream and just pour it right in you want to do this right after the lid is off because it was still going to be really hot now go ahead and mix in your sour cream now if you noticed mine has a little bit more liquid than I would like you can go ahead and keep the saute button on and it will thicken up because the flour that you put in there easy instant pot pulled pork now you can have a one to three pound pork here I'm going to add of course my garlic salt and then one can of diet dr pepper now I know this isn't the most healthy but it's a little healthier than just plain dr pepper okay then we're going to add sweet baby raised barbecue sauce about one cup right on top of your pork now you are welcome to add other seasonings too but I love this recipe because it really you can make it with three ingredients and it's so easy to throw together all right put in the lid on we're going to sealing again because we want it to pressurize now we're going to push manual and go up because three pounds I usually go 50 to 60 minutes this is a two pound pork so we're going to 50 minutes now I let it release on its own for about eight to 10 minutes then I just switch it over so I can get rid of all the rest of the pressure so I can open the lid now if you open the lid and your pork isn't cooked all the way the good thing about the Instant Pot is you can put the lid on and cook it some more now I want my pork to shred easily for this shredded pork recipe now once it's done shredding I'm going to stick it back into my sauce and let it sit there for about 20 to 30 minutes I mean if you need it sooner that's fine but I like to have it soak up the flavor now you can serve this on buns I put a little extra barbecue sauce on top or you can serve it over your favorite salad the spicy Instant Pot chicken and rice bowls you're going to first start with two cups of rice that you have rinsed and drained so the water runs clear and you'll dump it right into the bottom of your Instant Pot add two and a half cups of water right on top of the rice now it's time for the seasoning now I just added pepper to taste because I love pepper then you're going to add one teaspoon of salt next add one teaspoon of garlic powder and then that should be it for the seasoning so I have one can of black beans that I've rinsed and drained and then add one can of red enchilada sauce I used a 10 ounce can there okay so now I have two cups of shredded chicken I like to have mine already cooked and chopped up so we'll make this recipe cook even faster I just got rotisserie chicken and chopped it all up now you're just going to put the lid on make sure that it's on sealing not venting sealing and you are ready to cook it so I like to use my manual button that's about the only button I use I'm pushing manual and because we just have to cook the rice we're going to go down to 10 minutes all right when it's all done I flipped the knob over and did a quick release and then just carefully pull the lid off to where it's still going to be hot and steamy but everything should be cooked all the way through now like I said before I love this recipe because it will work with enchiladas with tacos on top of your salad you can do all kinds of things with this recipe but I have to say my favorite is the rice bowl so I like to add cheese on while it's still hot so it can melt then add a little bit of sour cream a little bit of guacamole and then if you love cilantro I love to add cilantro to the top now if you need a little more help with your instant pot we actually have a course it's called instant cooking course it will help you get from the box to cooking in a matter of minutes I'll put a link down below in the description for you all right if you want more instant pot recipes I have plenty you can find them just right up there all right guys I'll see you next

Go ahead, please. Thank you, Hervé Mariton, former French MP. One quick question mainly to Michael. You didn't talk much about NATO, so if you were to have a stronger position of Europe on defence, what does it mean as the evolution of NATO goes? That could also be addressed to Bogdan. Quick question to Richard and Stephen. You're very enthusiastic about Europe. Nonetheless, the Brits voted for Brexit. The last popular vote in France was a no vote in 2005. I voted yes, but the majority voted no. Many in Eastern Europe actually criticized the way Europe goes. Would you each of you make one proposal of concrete evolution in the way Europe could work? All right, thank you. Can you pass on the mic to the lady behind you? Thank you. And then moving it to the other side. My question is for Madame Guigou. You said that Europe has to be more involved in the affairs of the world. And you talked about politics towards Africa. What do you think Europe has to do with the crisis in the Middle East? Precisely towards Syria. Given that the refugee flow is based on Europe. I have a small comment also to Mr. Lothian. You said about the Shia Sunni divide. This is something I've researched thoroughly. I don't think not to have open to both sides. I don't think the West should get involved at all. This is something the Muslim ulama, the centers of Islam like Azar and Najaf, should reconcile among each other. Thank you. Thank you. The gentleman here in the second row, please. I'm Chol Guigou from Ambassador Morocco, France, and from a senior adviser to Korean president. In 1995, we launched the Asia-Europe summit process. We did it with the belief that it might contribute to making the world better. It was done through initiative of President Shiaq and Prime Minister Gochok Tong of Singapore. And then by the end of the summit meeting, he's continually held. But even though we have the pillar of discussion on the value, I wonder whether the process existing platform is properly used. In times of crisis like this, where we should discuss the refugee issue, we have to discuss. But the summit level sometimes good for meetings of leaders, but a little bit lackluster in terms of producing concrete results and exchange of ideas. So maybe intellectuals can join in that process. I hope very much that in the Asian process now we have India and Pakistan beyond China and Japan and Korea and ASEAN, of course. So we'd better valorize and use the existing platform to discuss common challenges. Thank you. All right, thank you. Let's take in a couple more questions. You have the microphone. I haven't forgotten you in the last row. Merci. Je vais parler en français. Pour Elisabeth Kigu, je retenus une idée intéressante, c'est que l'Union Européenne s'est définie par rapport à ses frontières. Est-ce que ceci n'a pas amené l'Union Européenne de temps en temps à tourner le dos à la Méditerranée et donc à faire perdre aussi à la Méditerranée sa centralité nécessaire? Certes, il y a une, c'est une belle conclusion, Afrique Europe. Mais est-ce que, actuellement, avec le retour de la croissance, avec les discours Macron, avec les initiatives peut-être de Merkel, ça n'est pas le moment de se reconcilier avec une frontière parce que tourner le dos à la Méditerranée, d'après moi, ça a été avant tout aussi au détriment de l'Europe. Thank you so much. Go ahead, gentlemen. My name is Stan Kozon, Capgemini. Question regarding immigration. Richard Burt told us that EU should define a strategy for migrations and immigration. Question to the panel, what is the likelihood that within a year, let's say when we meet for the 11th edition of this World Policy Conference, this strategy has been defined, number one, and second, its execution has started effectively. All right, thank you so much. Last question, the floor is yours. Daniel Delano, the central bank of Romania. Two questions, first one to Michael Lothian. When you say that the UN, the government of the UN should change because it reflects, there is a legacy problem. More clearly, what do you have in mind, basically? Secondly, Merkel-Macron, the key tandem. But what is the critical mass in terms of visions? We should help the Union redeem itself and move forward. They may not be kindred spirits when it comes to very concrete steps. Thank you so much. Now, wide variety of questions to many of you. Richard, some of you were addressed to you personally. Also take this as an advantage for final remarks as we go through the row and then wrap this session up. Richard? Well, I'll make just a couple of quick comments. First of all, I detect in many of the questions the kind of persistence of what I would call Euro-pessimism. Now, if we were here a year ago, we would all be wringing our hands about the threat of populism. We'd be worried about Marie Le Pen in France. We'd be worried about what was the AFD in Germany. In fact, one of my colleagues, Bill Drozdiak, wrote a book that's just been published. Unfortunately, he wrote it six months ago. It was called Fractured Continent. People aren't talking really anymore about a truly fractured continent. We know about Brexit. We know about Catalonia. But I think there is a new optimism. And I think the optimism does go directly to Merkel on the one hand and Macron on the other. And there will have to be a grand bargain there. As far as I understand Emmanuel Macron, he is laying out in a kind of brilliant, exciting way, a kind of Kennedy-esque way, a vision for Europe. And it's a vision based on putting Europe first. And it's also a vision based on finding a way to reform and strengthen European EU institutions, including the European monetary system. The big question for a long time has been, are the Germans ready to be brought along? Are the Germans prepared to make the necessary financial concessions to make Europe work? Now the Germans will never agree on a transfer union, but Merkel in the campaign made some comments and has said that I think that there is a new willingness to think about reforms, particularly of the monetary system, of creating what Europe in my judgment genuinely needs, which is a common fiscal strategy. And maybe the fact that Wolfgang Schoibler will not be the finance minister in the next German government means that there may be some more flexibility there. So I'm fundamentally optimistic about reinventing this German, French-German access within Europe, the motor that's important or necessary to make Europe work. There was, last comment, there's this question about, gee, can you come up with one idea for changing Europe? And I think I mentioned it. I do think that immigration has already been demonstrated to be a serious danger to European unity, and we saw that in very stark terms in terms of how different nations, and I have to say the nations of central Europe responded to the problems of immigration. I think historically it's understandable. These were countries that weren't as cosmopolitan, if you will, as Western European countries. They were under Soviet domination. They didn't have the experience and the openness that Western European countries had, and they responded in a predictable way. But I think if a European-wide approach, an EU-wide approach, not a national approach, if it can be worked out, is necessary. Because another crisis in the Middle East, a crisis in North Africa, could reemerge and create a new set of strains that would be very counterproductive to what I see as the very positive trends that are alive and well in Europe today. Thank you, Richard, for your assessment. And interestingly enough, of course, pointing out German leadership, Germany's role in moving forward. This is a panel, not too many people, not too many panels these days on the future of Europe without a German on the panel, but we have... Well, I'm the moderator. So we have six panelists as is. I won't chime in here, but I know that German leadership, I think, is talked about much more outside of Germany than it is within Germany, interestingly enough. Let's call it Franco-German leadership. There you go. I'm sure Elizabeth would have corrected me by the time it's her turn. But first, Steve, you may not be German, but of course you're a German expert. There were a couple of questions, I think, that you are very stewed to address. Okay. I'll be quick about this. I mean, certainly the existential panic that led to the Bratislava summit has come down. There's no question. And at least the European Commission is willing to take more political risk, whether they can come to a common asylum policy. I doubt, partly because it's such a matter of national issues, but three, not just one proposal, three proposals, very quick proposals. One, the problem is an immigration, the problem is loss of control. The problem is the sense of uncontrolled immigration, and there is now more Ordnung. There's more order to it, even in Germany. I think that issue is calming down. The problem in Central Europe is being told what to do by Brussels on this issue or other issues. So, three, one, frontier. Schengen has to have external frontiers that work, otherwise it doesn't work. Frontex, actually, which has a new name that I forget, is getting a lot more money, and it is doing more. I think that's really important. Second, Greek debt has to be forgiven, at least big chunks of it. The Germans are going to have to swallow that down. It's just, it's unsustainable. It's ridiculous. You can't have a stable euro otherwise. And three, my other suggestion, is that council meetings of country leaders should begin with breakfast and not with dinner. It would make a tremendous difference, I think, to the quality of the decision-making. On Merkel Macron, I mean, I respect Kellogg-Dass for Macron. What audacity, quite extraordinary. I think his speech was very good, but a little too early, because the Germans hadn't yet figured out a government, and I think he should have done more coordination, not just with Madame Merkel, but with the countries of Central Europe, too, who rather resented the speech, because they felt left out of it.  I mean, I've just looked at a bunch of poll figures done by the Korber Foundation from Germany, and we want a lot from Germany. I'm not sure Germans want to give us what we want. I mean, yes, they like more European defence, but they don't want to spend any money for it. They will not, I mean, half of Germans will think they should not come to the aid of a NATO member if it were attacked by Russia. Half. That's Article 5. And yet, 85% of Germans believe the US will come to their aid if necessary. So there's an ambivalence and a schizophrenia which is historical and lasting and has not yet been resolved. Thank you, Steve, and we will, of course, continue to look forward to your astute observations in the New York Times about the current state and future state of the EU. Now, Elizabeth, there were a couple of questions directed to you personally, so please go ahead. Yes, thank you. First of all, Macron, I think it can give you a new impulse. That, of course, could give a strong impetus because Macron has decided to make reforms and that Germany has put in an exerted pressure on France for these reforms to be neglected. And the second thing is that, for the first time, it seems to me, for the first time, it seems to me that Germany needs France. It needs France, precisely, in need of France for those security issues, terrorist issues, and also as much as different movers of politicians and migration issues are really just particularly in the decline of the European countries. Germany is in such a situation that that's just demographic decline and so are many European countries that have the necessity of refugees, migrants and the necessity of playing host to the refugees. It's not going to be a world duty but a duty by virtue of international law. Of course the EU should keep strengthening itself really at this... we can't do everything at the European Union. There are many things, there are many things, a lot of things that need to be shouldered by the European state nations, the weapons of the EU, what the EU should do is have the EU that can encounter deep global challenges in a global war, global challenges that can't be encountered that pays to way countries around the world from them's security issue, because by far too long, we need to grow more in that perspective so Trump will take your responsibility when he shows us shoulder to responsibilities. That's true but it's not tomorrow by the EU that the EU will be able to substitute you to guarantee the warranties and take parts of Article 5 and the protectionism of America it can happen overnight. So we need to decentralize the Atlantic lines by being protected, the European continent, and as far as putting people down to work in such a way as for the better way to force security and strut to decision-making in countries that are never militarized solutions that you can start at interventions that are always geared towards the triggering conflicts, the example of Iraq and some places not battle groups that's going to protect Poland for Russia. So we need them to be better and pro-regarding this issue that is having a real armament industry, a real weapons industry and have common immigration strategy. Back to migration now, it is true that it's an enormous area of concern and I would get started by saying that we need to certainly strengthen our borders, and that was actually the initial premise just like for the euro we were made to create a European economy which we never did. So that's a high time for us in Iraq on things that have been delayed for two decades. So many people put their lives at risk by crossing the Mediterranean they will cross anyway. So we need development, we have major solutions and I have to think of T figuring out how such a situation could be solved as pointed out by Patala Wala and we keep getting the Mediterranean as a border. The Mediterranean should be a powerful area for the cooperation and partnership should all be organized because every country on the one hand Europe on the other and the Mediterranean on the other I believe is and part of Europe I do believe that this is the only way out otherwise it would be in a day in Iraq and that should be the very objective to have a clear vision for the organization of the European continent in such a very stout world or in the war and the Trump regime so we didn't speak much about Russia but to show some time and to turn this continent and to look towards the south even more Europe succeeded when it has come up with military sponsors through fears and apprehensions if you have to hand them over now Europe has to find out responses to fears from globalization Thank you so much Elizabeth now they are telling me in no diplomatic terms that the session is over but and I know that you have to catch your flight so why don't you go ahead we won't hold it against you we don't want to miss your flight and Bogdan and Michael if I could ask you to be very very brief so we can wrap up the session just one word before I leave EU has been always guarded by Asians especially by Japan as an anchor of conscience and stability and it's so sorry to see Britain leave now that's what I call a graceful exit thank you so much Mr. Okamoto I have a safe flight back to Tokyo Michael and Bogdan let's be brief three certain questions first of all NATO I didn't talk about NATO NATO dilutes the argument about European security first of all if America is not part of NATO there is no NATO secondly the last time NATO article 5 was invoked was in relation to self defense in relation to 9-11 in Afghanistan we begin to dilute the argument about European security second I agree it would be much easier not to take sides but the Sunni art they do have the backing of a majority of the West and the Shia feel very strongly about that and I think we have a role in Europe where we could rebalance that slightly and give a certain reassurance which would be useful third of the United Nations I could write a book about this I'm not going to deal with it but basically we have a system in the United Nations Security Council where one permanent member can say no and that becomes the world order and we need to get to a situation where there is a better judgment of what is in the world's interest rather than the interest of one nation and we need to be able to get there just one final comment I keep on hearing everybody has reassured this year because after last year's concerns about the advance of the far right it didn't happen I wasn't here last year 25% of the French voted for Marie Lapin watching 20% or whatever it was in Germany voting for the far right watching this movie across Europe that is scary enough these countries are prepared to invest their electoral strength in movements like that and I think we make a great mistake if we become complacent about that Thank you Michael Terry is waiting in the wings and you know he can be very persistent 60 seconds Bogdan it's very good it was a very good question about NATO we haven't forgotten about NATO and this panel was about abilities of the European Union to react in the sphere of security that's why we didn't talk about NATO but very briefly I'm satisfied with both results of Newport and Warsaw Summit concerning reinforcement of the eastern flank of the Alliance enhanced forward presence and pilot forward presence these were good solutions and they were and are still consequently implemented so implementation of those decisions goes in the right way that's first secondly there was a crucial decision of the Warsaw Summit this declaration between the EU and NATO the second gen of NATO and both Junker and Tusk on behalf of the European Union on the cooperation between those two entities it is necessary to enhance cooperation between the EU and NATO in the sphere of security without that we cannot speak about better feeling of security in Europe and thirdly I have a feeling that we should work within NATO concerning the southern flank because the strategy concerning the eastern flank during the summit in Warsaw was presented in a very clear and visible way but to protect the protection of the southern border of Europe was not consisted only on some elements we should work on comprehensive strategy within NATO how to reinforce and to protect the southern alliance border thank you ladies and gentlemen surprisingly we weren't able to address and solve all problems within 90 minutes of the European Union but I think we were able this spectacular panel was able to give you a lot of food for thought particularly after the Trump panel yesterday building up on what was being said yesterday about the future of the US now focusing on the future of the EU thank you so much for your active participation but particularly for the spectacular panel thank you so much


Okay, before we start, I want to direct your attention to the wall piece. So, you can't see it. But right down here, I have a sticky note that says Poseidon that I wrote like a year ago. It says Poseidon in an in parentheses, question mark? Same as Pluton question mark? Which now we know it's not the same. It's a different weapon. It's Shirahoshi the mermaid princess. And then it says an arrow that says Scypia Poneglyph directions. The Poneglyph and Scypia were directions to Poseidon. Inherently, we found that out last episode. But then there's a line connected to Poseidon and the line. You can't see it. It connects up to Roger. It connects to Roger. But I don't remember why I connected that line. I think because I thought Roger left the Poneglyph and Scypia, but either way, the wall piece is working. But after that being said, welcome back to the channel. My name is Jack the Buster. I should know be I'm watching more one piece today and Fishman Island is coming to a close. We have the final five or six episodes left. And man, this banquet just feels so gosh darn good. We're going to hop right into it. If you need a channel, don't forget to drop us up and let's get started. Oh my god, bro. If there's more to this conversation, I'm a bust. I'm a bust. Don't be a big careful splash warning, man. Three. Pluzon Poseidon. Uranus? There's three. She is one of the ancient weapons. My god. My god. Wait, is that caribou? Caribou? There's no way. There's no way. Oh my god. The information is going to get out. Oh my gosh. There's no way he's this important. Slime man. Oh my goodness. He's going to leak it. He's going to leak it. They would have to murder him. Shirahoshi is an ancient weapon. That is insane, man. And there's three. Pluzon Poseidon Uranus. Oh my gosh. Everything's changing. Everything is connecting. Everything's changing. My heart. It's as good as meat? What? What's he know of the state of the world? He's spinning the blade. You know nothing. I mean, what is there to know right now? I mean, I guess it has been two years since Marine Ford. Oh. Oh. A one-on-one with Luffy and Jinbe? This could be interesting. God, dude. Post-art conversations are gas. Nami and Uso? Oh, as far as I sleep, okay. Mermated. Chopper with the little napkin? What? What? Akainu and Aokiji? Yeah, Sengoku. Yeah, we knew Sengoku was quitting. Did they fight over the position? Aokiji was recommended. Oh. Because Akainu is like, is hard justice. He's evil justice. He's, oh my gosh. Dude. There's a lot of people between the admirals. Oh my gosh. What? Can we see this? Who lost? All right, tell me Aokiji won. Tell me Aokiji won. A 10-day fight? No. No. Oh my god, bro. Akainu is the fleet admiral. Oh my god. Wait, is Aokiji okay? That shot of them is insane, though. Yeah. A 10-day battle. He showed mercy for a Navy man. What? Aokiji quit. Aokiji left the government. The Navy. Oh my god. He's so powerful. We'll be going to recruit him. Go recruit him now. Hurry. The Navy unexpected power. Two biggest changes. Here we go. I'm ready. I'm ready. Navy headquarters. More powerful. I mean, I'm guessing they just rebuilt. Yeah. Advanced. What do you mean? Oh, that's right. From Island. Oh my god. What is Mocktown? That's not Jaya, is it? I mean, they didn't even know until after. The shot! Oh my god. I got him, Connick. Oh, so iconic. What does he mean he's advanced, though? Yeah, he has two double-fruits now, somehow. Yin and yang. Oh, big mom. He's an emperor. Oh my god. He did leverage it. That's what he wanted. Damn. I mean, he's insanely strong. So now there's the four emperors are Kaido, big mom, Shanks, and Blackbeard. Oh my god, brah. Oh my god, brah. My question is, who are they filling the warlord positions with, man? Poor chopper.  What is he eating? What are those? He didn't even listen to the backstory about Fishman Island. Yeah, all that matters is the crew was listening. Oh my god. Chopper. I like taking chances.  He's starting to realize the crew that he promised he would join one day.   Dude, she's so insanely important. She's a literal weapon. All-powerful being. What? A wild animal? A presence? What? Oh, an animal? Aw. Quite the best animal. Oh, they sensed him. He's after her. Oh my gosh. Wait, they can take care of him here now.  Yo, Atta boy, Luffy, for like detecting this, though. My god. That was terrifying. Oh, they better get there quick. Oh, poor Sirahoshi. Finally rests in peace, man, and is just attacked immediately after. Aw, Luffy never gonna bust in and roll him. They better, bro. She deserves a second of just being able to exist. What is this? You're like trying to kidnap her or what? Dude, the amount of money he can find for her, especially knowing what she is, what she's destined to be. God, he's so gross. Oh, dude, you're in trouble, fella. What do you want, straw hat? He's literally about to perish. Hey, god, bro. I can't, man. I can't. Yep, there it is. Oh, god damn. Like a fly swatted him away. Yeah, bro is just lurking the entire time. Well, they just booted him off the island. Oh, yeah. I wonder who did that. Oh, my goodness. Who could have cut it like that? Papa Goon, chill, man. Keep it on the low. Yeah. They literally said one was like really important. Dude, but still. Also, Nami's wanting to be worried about it. She gets a cut. Oh, my god.  Go get him. She just sent them to their deaths, man. There's no way. There is no way, bro. Like I said, they're going to beat Vanderdeckens ass, man. I'm not going to lie. In the cell, dude, he's already awake and is about it. Oh, man, he sounds weak.  Oh, my god. The side effects of the pills. Oh, my gosh. It aids them. Wait. I see why they were left alive now. Oh, my gosh. That was the side effect. He's all this. Oh, my god, bro. It was accelerating their lives. What? It was the pill in the butt. That was the national treasure, he said. Oh, my gosh. How did they get a hold of it? 10 years ago, somebody stole it. Of course, man. Of course. That was the end of the- That clears up where he got it from. It all makes sense now. I think we found out what. Yeah, it is on. Where did you find this? They opened Pandora's box. This is where I got him. This is better than him having died. It's him having just completely aged. I actually like that. There's some backlash to them just spamming the drug. Oh, my gosh. I almost had to feel bad for him now, man. He's feeble and dying. Yeah, honestly. They couldn't even- It couldn't even hurt a fly now if they wanted to. That's all I need to hear. Add a boy for Koboshi. Add a boy. Put him in this place. The children are important, man. That's the next generation. Peckums? They're in Tamago? The Emperor! Big Moms sound like- What, troops? Does he have a teacup? What is it? Why did she send people? Ah. So they don't have it- Oh, wait! They said Big Moms. Like, I used them like a candy. Like, they were something candy for- Oh. Destroy a whole country for sweets. And also, ever since they first name dropped to Big Mom, you guys are very quickly to correct and say, Jack, don't refer to her as Big Mam. It's Big Mom. Apparently the subtitles are just Big Mam for a long time. That's what I've heard. Don't know why. It's kind of cool though. They're roping in one of the Emperors. We still don't even know what Big Mom or Kai to even look like. That's sick though. That Blackbeard is one. I can definitely see him being like on par with Shanks now, especially having Whitebeard's Devil Fruit and the one he had before. Like I said, the Yin and Yang. But do these- Like I said, these post-arc episodes where you just learn information, it's so juicy. Akainu being the new fleet admiral, Aukiji leaving the navy in the government? Brother, I wish we had seen that 10-day fight. That is so- That is insane. 5.71, let's go. That you just gotta go catch them. They're actually gonna be rich as heck, man. It is when you save an entire country, Brooke. They found him! That was easy. Oh my gosh. It's all just in one place. Freaking. Oh my god, they're actually so rich. Oh, this guy being just like this wild card is so funny to me. I already fraud the two people sent to collect. So they used all the candy and sweets made for the banquet. What is that? Mama's name, member of the Big Mom Pirates. Hecums. Oh my goodness. That's scary.  So what's with the obsession with like the sweets and candy? Why destroy something over it? Oh no, look, he's gonna get involved, man. Oh no. He's even nervous. He's like, what are you doing here? Oh no. Who are they? Got a list of people? Movie, don't say. This don't. Oh my gosh. Oh, the old smell. Yeah, that's an interesting lion man. Stop doing that. Oh, the tea cup. Ah, good cup, bad cup. Oh, okay. The tea party? They're collecting. Oh my goodness, daddy, long legs. On to me. Half boiled pirates? What does that even mean? Long feet tribe. Oh my goodness gracious, he's so cursed. As Dr. Eggman. Oh, he creepy, man. How does that even balance? Yeah, they did. What are you gonna do about it? What's the mark of the Big Mom Pirate? Charlotte Ling Ling. Luffy's face? What would Big Mom think of Luffy? Yeah. Yeah, they're to make candy. Sweets. And if they don't make enough, they don't get the mark. That's very different than whitebeard just letting them use the mark in his production. I love sweet candy. So it's really for Big Mom? And there's no underlying reason she just eats them? Oh, yeah, it was destroyed. Yeah. Oh, there was a whole war here. I don't think she has balls. So she's like, oh, well, this changes things. A woman emperor. Yeah, what happens? You just lose the mark? This place loses her protection? Wait, the Big Mom Pirates will attack?  Okay, dude. Yeah, that seems dramatic. Oh. Is this where she lives? It's all the sweets. Okay, I live somewhere in the New World. Big Mom! Big Mom! Oh my God, brah. She's starting for like the tea party? Oh, no, those sweets are not coming. Ew. Ew. Ew. Wait for them. What? Why does his head switch like that, too? And how big is Big Mom? Well, this reminds me like the witch from Hansel and Gretel. Couldn't reach their clothes on time. Everything is destroyed. Why does it move like that? Stop! So it's a big deal that they can't get these to her. Oh. How does that word already get back? Oh my God! She foolish. Oh my God, we finally see Big Mom of the Four Emperors. Jesus, man. Now where's Kido? Okay. Oh, I won't bite off more than I can chew. Although she seems like she can chew quite a bit. So what are they going to do? Beat up these two guys? Or threatening the island right after the island was saved? I mean, so now we know that I don't think she cares who Luffy is. She just want her candy, bro.  She ate those people, man. Does it just keep refilling? How does he keep drinking from that? Oh. Whose phone is this? Big Mom is calling! Oh my goodness. How do they already get word about them maybe not having sweets?  Sanji is still blushing, bro. There's no way. Oh my God. Why is she built like that? Luffy just endangering the entire island? Is her spit acid? Oh my gosh. Why does she look like that? Oh, you're familiar. That's him. I ate them all. Bro, I said what would she think of him? This is not the right foot. This is just a terrible foot. Luffy bold as hell. He feeling himself. He's not mine. Oh, he's going to offer it. Oh, very smart. That's all she cares about. Oh my gosh. You can buy so many sweets with that. Big Mom. Can't sing their allies down. Oh my God. Captain Ken.  I'm glad to hear he's doing well. Oh, dang. The economy not doing too well over there? I'm saying you could buy so much with that. She's so like dead hard on sweets. Oh, she's making me uncomfortable. What? Oh no, man. Oh my God. I mean, I think Luffy would rather them take the blame than the entirety of Fishman Island and emperors just after us now. Oh, man. We're going, Big Mom. We're coming, I guess. What has he done? Damn. Wait, what business? Oh, man. Maybe at this rate, we can get off on a good foot with the last emperor. Hey, at least Shanks likes us. You know, Blackbeard? No. And so Big Mom just not a great start here. Oh my gosh. Bro, this like post-Fishman arc, this, these last couple of episodes have been just like nonstop madness. A kainu taking over. A kaukiji quitting. Big Mom, we finally get to see Big God dang mom, bro. One of the emperors. And we already have a feud with her. My goodness. She ate her own people. Why? What is that power dynamic? It's a whole cake island somewhere in the new world. Oh my God, bro. Who is this? And why does she have a third eye? Where's the best shot of Big Mommy God? Oh my God, bro. She is a God dang unit. Holy guacamole. Does she just ate her own people? Do they actually just hang out in her stomach or did they just die? I like how she immediately knew it was Garb's grandson. That's funny. Luffy kind of jig a chat for just being like, yeah, I ate him all 10 times. Sorry, not sorry. Lil saying that he's gonna take Fishman Island is so cool, though, man. He's gonna do what Whitebeard isn't around anymore to do. Mommy said, I hope Luffy's coming back with a treasure when he's literally making a feud with one of the emperors. Like, I always wonder these things. Like, what does Shanks think of Big Mom? What, how powerful is she compared to him? How powerful is she compared to Blackbeard? Like, the emperors are such mysteries to me, man. But dude, this has just been madness. Just back to, I gotta take a break or something. Holy. It has been InfoJob after, Joyboy, everything with that Poseidon? My God, this wall is obliterated once again. Everything changes, man. It's all ever-changing. The world continues building. But guys, that has been it for my one-piece reaction today. It is just nonstop chaos. I hope you guys enjoyed.  And I'll catch you next time. Peace, peace.

We aim to significantly improve the Army's existing warfighting capabilities and create disruptive and game-changing soldier-centric technologies for the Army. Research in human behavior will help us understand and predict human cognitive, physical, and social behaviors in settings ranging from individuals and teams to organizations and societies. Discoveries and innovations in human variability will enable future Army systems to adapt to the individual soldier's states, behaviors, and intentions in real time. We are working to translate laboratory-based research findings to real-world applications and to discover novel methodologies to collect data and interpret behavior under real-world conditions. ARL is discovering and developing technologies that enhance the human capabilities of future warfighters. It is important to understand and augment human capabilities across short and long time scales to create systems that are matched to the individual capabilities and tuned to the operational environment. Soldier capabilities can be enhanced through training which requires researching learning sciences and training technology to provide accelerated learning affordably at the point of need. We are striving to enable future leaders to make sound decisions effectively in complex socio-cultural context. Integration of humans and systems requires discovery of the fundamental principles of human system integration across domains such as complex information systems, human agent teams, cybersecurity, and organizational and social networks. Integration technologies research aims to discover novel interfaces and control systems that allow human system integration that is more effective and adaptable to the dynamic user including future Army multi-mixed agent teams. These complex teams will enable faster and better informed decisions, reduce soldier workload, provide higher levels of situation understanding, and maintain strategic and tactical advantages in future operating environments.

Welcome back, video number six in this series on CAD from Scratch. In this video I want to talk about primitives as they relate to, you know, CAD as well as mostly just the data structures required to code into place, these primitives. And then as a bonus, we will be doing something that even FreeCAD hasn't figured out over the past, you know, decade or whatever. So we'll be one up on FreeCAD in 20 minutes or so. So, what did I do so far? So first thing, I broke apart our old main.c file into like a bunch of different sub files. We have all the draw routines are in draw. We have all the genetic routines are in the geometry.hgeometry.c We have what the trigonometry stuff is in the trig. So everything's sort of broken up and then we have a new make routine. So the compilation is just a asterisk.c with the same parameters here. So it's not too different. It just broke into different pieces. Hopefully that'll be easier to follow once this project grows. I personally hate doing that. I think everything should just be in in one file, but whatever, I'll do it for the for the common good. So what's today's objective? Well, I mentioned last time these constructive solid geometry is the CSG. So what is a CSG? Basically, it's the main operation that you'll use when you in most of the time you do CAD. So let's say you wanted to make a washer. Washer looks like this. A very artist as you know by this point and you might make that washer by taking a large cylinder and subtracting a small cylinder, right? So that's the idea of CSG. You might say the cylinder has radius six. This one has radius one subtraction and you get a nice washer like this. Simple stuff. Now it may not just be you know with very simple things like cylinders maybe you'd want to draw a sketch. Maybe you make some kind of I don't know a clip like we did in the last video. Clip thing. Extrude that and maybe put some holes in there or something you know. There's different things you can do obviously with this with this algorithm and you can look up different things you can do. There's obviously there's unions, differences, intersections, so some of the basic operations that you can deal with a CSG. So for us, I think we start with the most simple of all these primitives and that's going to be a cube. I guess not even a cube more like just a prism a little more general than that. So I have this prism drawn here with the origin at the bottom left eight nodes. And then I have different side lengths. So four in the x direction five in the y direction and three in the z direction. Just to give us some variety in this so it's not all monotonous zeros and ones. So what is the first task here? So I should say let's just run the portal last time so you know what we had. We had this clip thing. It's a pretty nice clip. At this point we will need to do something for geometries. So let's open up the geometry header and make some space. So we'll need a couple of different things. Basically for you know the way I want to encode this in the way most of the time cat encodes the geometry is you have a body and then on that body you have a bunch of faces and each face it'll have edges right it'll have edges it'll have nodes bunch of nodes bunch of edges and of course these don't these edges are also part of the body. So it's just some really chaotic looking tree structure like this and it gets like to be pretty messy. And so the best way I think to it to go ahead and you know coating this up is with linked lists. And so you'll have a linked list for the body faces. So basically you'll have a pointer to the first face which will have a pointer to the next face and pointer to the next face. And you'll have some nodes the same thing. You have a linked list of nodes and maybe edges you'll have linked to the edges as well. And then one more thing is that obviously each each face has edges and nodes. And so what I think we'll do is we'll have an array inside the face. We'll have an array with pointers to the nodes. More edges you know. And we'll have a also we'll have a value in here for the number of elements the number of nodes per face. Anyway this all makes sense once we cut it up. So let's let's go ahead. So first we'll need structure for the nodes for a node. What do you have to encode? Well node is the most elementary of all you know elements in CAD. It's just a single point in space right so this is where you're actually going to be encoding you know the location. I have a x y and a z so we'll have a float x float y float z. And then of course you know in linked list you have to have a pointer to the next node like that. And obviously if you wanted to you could encode I don't know like an orientation or something or maybe you wanted to encode an ID for the node. You might do that later when you want to go ahead and masking stuff but for the time being we'll just stick to the bare minimum. We'll need a similar type of structure for edges. We'll say strut edge next int. Now here's where I said before we're going to have an array of the number of nodes that are going to be part of each edge. And by the way we might actually not do anything with edges in this video just for completeness sake. We'll say int num nodes and we'll say struct node array. And by the way in C structures you could have a node dimension for your last element here in the structure. This last one there's only one you could have a sort of an infinite size to that structure as long as you can account for that. As long as you know the size you can account for that. Now we'll need a very very similar one for faces. It's pretty much exactly the same thing just popping out the word edge for the word face. Yeah that should be good.  And then lastly you need one for the body. So let's say struct body. And now here's where we have the pointers to everything. So we'll say struct node node. It's going to be the pointer to the first node. We'll have struct edge. It's the pointer to the first edge and we'll have struct face pointer to the first face. And of course you might have an ID value here and inside face you might want to put like an edge array. Obviously many more things can be done here than what we have. But we'll focus on this for now. And now I'm going to just do something a little bit of head of schedule here. And let's write some declarations for some functions we're going to need. And we'll come back and we'll populate these in a minute. So what functions will we need? Well we will need a function that... Just like here we have make clip. We'll need one that makes a rectangular prism. But it won't be a void function. It'll be a function that returns a pointer to that body. So we'll say struct body. We'll say make rectangular prism. This will be our very first primitive. And we'll pass in a couple things. What should we pass in? Just I guess some basic geometric parameters. So we'll say float x0, float y0, float z0. And then I guess length, width and height. Float l, float w, float h. And those we kind of already described in our picture here. So next we'll need some functions that create... I guess just for this time being we'll just do nodes and faces. We won't do anything to do with edges for the time being. So we'll have a make node. We'll have a make face function. And I guess we'll figure out the parameters for that in a minute or so. And I guess we'll do the rest of this later. But this is just the basics of what we'll need. Now in the actual functions for these things here, we can do a little bit more work. So let's start off first with these two functions. I just talked about make node and make face. So what you want to make a node like a linked list, for example, we'll have to pass in a few things of interest here. We'll first pass in the node that we're going to be trying to populate structure values for, as well as the values x, y and z, those are part of the structure. And we'll probably want to give it the next element as well. So this is a very simple function here. We're just going to literally just populate the structure. So we'll say node x equals x, y and z are y and z. And then node next equals next. Simple stuff. Now for a face. It will be a little bit more difficult. Let's see, make face. We'll pass in again. We'll pass in a pointer to the face. We'll pass in all the different parameters we need. So we need int, num nodes, struct for the node array. And I guess the next face is all we have in there. Right struct, face, hastress, next. Now to make a face, the hardest thing for us is just going to be, well obviously we can just say very simply face, num nodes equals num nodes. And then face, next equals next. It's going to be a little more challenging for us to populate that node array here. But nothing more than just a loop. So for int i equals 0, we'll iterate over the number of nodes. So i less than num nodes. And we'll just populate the node array. So let's make this look neat. So we're just copying the values from the node array as an input parameter to this function into the actual structure itself. So it's pretty straightforward. I'll go back and I'll add this to the header file in a second. The next function that we already added our header for, our declaration for is the actual, the make rectangular prism. So I'm going to put up some of this really quick and I'll get back to you to show what I did. Okay, so I just created that function with the bare minimum stuff. So I've basically just mallocked the body for the prism and then eight nodes and six faces, just like you would have on a cube, right? And so at this point it's super, super easy. Now that we've mallocked everything, and obviously you could probably do this in some kind of a loop, but just for the time being let's keep it simple. So we're just going to make nodes. Make node, node one. And the reason why we're defining them outside is because we want to be able to use these nodes in these faces as well as inside any edges that we end up defining in the future, right? So that's why we have to have all these things available to us. We can't just kind of do it all in functions like that. So we'll say node one. The coordinates for node one are going to be x0, y0, z0. We're passing these values in as the parameters for this function. And we'll say the next node is going to be node two. So the link list will be node one to node two. Is that eight? Is that eight? And so we'll define node two, node three, node four, node five, node six, node seven, node eight. Node eight will point to null. Then the rest of them will point to the next one. So eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two. And now, obviously, we're not all going to be at the same spot in space. So we'll say the first one is at x0, x0 plus l. Then we'll say plus l plus w. We'll just say plus w. And the same thing, just all at z plus h. Sorry if we're going so quickly, but I want to get to more than just this. And that should be good. If I mess it up, I guess we'll never find out. I'm not going to check. Then the faces, again, the same thing. Obviously for faces that you have more than just to worry about the size of the structure itself, but you have a question as to how many nodes. And so for ours, in the node array, for example, if you remember we had our structure had a node array with some number of pointers to different nodes. And for us, these faces we have here only have four nodes on them.   So whatever your face number of node count is, it's going to be this value here. So at this point, we can start populating the faces. So for that, we'll use the make face function. But as a parameter, remember we have that node array. So we'll have to create that first outside. So let's define some kind of temporary variable we can use for this. We'll say struct node star node array four, size four. And then we'll just use that over and over and over again for each different call to make face. So we'll say node array zero equals node one. So let's do the first face here. Let's do one, two, three, four just to keep it easy. So we'll say node one. Then the second element is going to be node two. Third is node three, fourth is node four. And then we'll call make face with this. So we'll say make face, face one. If there's a number of nodes, it's four. Then the node array and then face two. So it'll be a pointer, a link list from face one to face two to face three. And I'll go ahead and I'll populate this really quick for all the different faces and I'll get back to you. Okay, I just quickly put in make faces for all the faces. So face one, two, three, four, five and six. At this point we've created faces in terms of a link list. And now you just have to put those values into the body, which is a prism if you remember. So we'll say prism node equals node one. The first node is the first node.  And at that point we're done. We've literally created a r-primitive array like that. It doesn't look very pretty. It's like 30, 40 lines, but whatever, it gets the job done. So now before I do anything else, let's actually make something that we can view our results because we want to be able to see this in action. And if we just run it, we're not going to see anything. So let's create some functions here that we can use to see if our model isn't working. So let's make one function that just prints the elements of the body. So print body elements. And let's make one function. And this is the bonus I said in the beginning. In FreeCAD, last time I checked and one of the biggest problems in FreeCAD that a lot of other CAD tools solve is that you don't have a way to pick points in space. Like the naming scheme in FreeCAD, you know, you'll have like vertex three or something. And vertex three is not always going to be vertex three if you fundamentally change the geometry, right? So the naming scheme doesn't work. If you look on their DOM forums, they just say, oh, run the GUI and figure out the name and the code. It doesn't work if you do everything from the command line.  Other tools like advocates and stuff, like you have routines that you can literally pick points in space. Like I can say find at or find closest or something, you know. So the closest node to a certain point. I can query that with a function and get a pointer to that. So it's just infinitely better. FreeCAD literally sucks, but our code will not suck. As a video six, we will be better than FreeCAD. So the next function I want to do is not a void function. It will be a pointer to the node, but we'll have a get closest node. That's a really big deal to me. Like if the CAD tool can't do that, it's not even really a CAD tool. So yeah, so let's go this up. This should be pretty simple. So print elements. So what I want to do for print elements, I want to pass in obviously a body, so we'll say struct, body, body.  And we'll just print everything out. So let's start simple. Let's say in I equals zero, we'll define a face, iterator here. So face, iter equals the very first face in the body. And then we will iterate through. So we'll iterate through link list. You just say while the iterator is not null. So while you're not at the end of the list, we'll print our face. So we're iterating through faces. So we'll say print face number percent D. And that will just be I. And we'll iterate inside here as well. And I will do a for loop. So we'll say for int j equals zero, j less than iter num nodes. So we'll do the number of nodes in that face. Increment that. And then we're just going to print F. Well, I guess we'll do a tab here. We'll say node number. We'll even have a number. I guess we will. We'll say percent D. And then we'll give it some coordinates. So we'll say percent F, percent F, percent F, slash N. And we'll pass in these values. So we'll say j, then iter node array j x, then iter node array j y, and iter node array j b. That should work. And then outside that four, we'll have to set the iterator next. So we'll say iter equals iter next. We'll return. So this should print out all the faces and nodes on our body. We'll iterate the faces and then the nodes and then print it all out. And I'll get closest node. This is my favorite thing, as you can already tell. So we'll say we'll give it the same body. So we'll search across the entire body. And we'll search for a node at coordinates x0, y0, z0. Okay, this one might be a little more complicated. So we'll need a couple of different things. We'll need a closest node that we'll keep track of, you know, iterating through. We'll see which one is the closest as we go around all the nodes to our certain point. And we'll start off with defining that as the first node. We'll create an iterator again here. So iter equals body node next. I could just put closest dot next, right? Then we'll say float demand. So the minimum distance we need to value to keep track of how far each node is from the node that we're searching for. And we'll just say it's just the power of something, comma, 0.5. It's the sum of the squares to find distance. So it's a power iter. I guess we'll be closest. x minus x0, comma, 2, plus, pal, closest, y minus y0, comma, 2, plus, pal, closest, z minus z0, comma, 2. And then we'll define the value just to keep track of that later. Now that's where a similar to one before we just say, we'll iterate through your source a while, you know. We'll go through every single one of these nodes that we're checking to see if it's closest to the point of interest, x0, y0, z0. So we'll say, well, it's not equal null as we did before. And so we'll have to calculate d. So the same equation is this. The only difference for d is it's not going to say dmin, obviously. It's not going to have a flow in front also. It's not going to say closest. It'll say iter. So iter x, iter y, iter z. Then we'll say if d less than dmin, we'll say dmin equals d and then closest equals iter. So if we have the lowest distance out of everything so far, we'll save the value and we'll save the distance. And then outside that loop, we'll just have to increment our iterator. Equals iter next. And then we will return the closest. So that's literally the entire body of code for this. I will go through, I'll add these to the header file and I'll create something in the main function. And yeah, we'll go ahead with this. I'll have a function that calls all these things in a line and I'll let you know how that goes. Okay, so now we're in the main function here. I just created that call makeRetangularPrism and then I passed in x0, y0, z0, lwh just as we had in the picture here. These are values. Now the question is how can we use this other routine? It's just to see everything working. So we'll do first, we'll say print body elements and we'll pass in prism. This should just print out everything. Let's run it right now and see. It compiles, that's good. So here we go. We're iterating through every single face and then all the nodes that are stored in the array for that face. So node 0 through 3. Now this is not the global ID. We didn't give a global ID. So we'd have to say int id then give a value for that which we will later for the time being we don't need that. And so we have the coordinates here x, y, z for all the different points. And I think we have half of them are at z equals 3 so that looks to be right to me. So yeah, this is it. So we've actually encoded a model just like we had attended to a body, faces, and nodes. So the next question is can we use our get closest node function? That's going to be the ultimate test. So we'll call that function, we'll say favorite node equals get closest node in body prism. We'll pick a node that's somewhere on this model or close. We'll say 4.01, 0.01, 3.1. Something close to 403, so 403. So node 6 should come up. It won't be called node 6 but it should be at 403. And then let's print it out. Let's say print my favorite node is close to 4.01, 0.01, 3.1. And it's percent f, percent f, percent f. And we'll pass in what I call it favorite node. Favorite node, x, favorite node, y, favorite node. Let's see, this better work. It all looks so done. Oops, what'd I do? Did I mess up something? Oh, x, y, and z. What?  And it's this. So we come up with a functionality which far exceeds that of FreeCAD. So you can applaud yourself and myself in this wonderful accomplishment here. So yeah, that's it for this video. We did the very basics, the fundamentals of CSG. In the next video, we will do a little bit more. Obviously, we can't visualize this because these faces have four nodes per face. And if you recall, I mean, the code that we wrote in our draw routine, this works with triangles. You know, we only have three triangles. We're doing, you know, this thing here, we're working with triangles. So three is not going to work for us. Four is not going to work for us. Three will work. So we have to break these up into three and we'll do it in a more generic way because how will we know if we're going to have four nodes per face or five or six or seven? There's an algorithm that I'm going to teach you guys about that we'll be able to break apart any face into triangles. And that's pretty cool. So stay tuned for that. Anyway, thanks for watching.


This study examined the variety of online dashboards presenting SARS-CoV-2 wastewater data from around the world. It found that there were many different approaches to presenting the data, with some dashboards providing more detailed information than others. Additionally, only a small percentage of dashboards offered downloadable source files or variant monitoring. This lack of consistency in the way data is presented can make it difficult to compare results between regions and even within individual dashboards. To address these challenges, the authors suggest that a standardized approach be adopted to ensure that data is presented in a consistent manner and that the data is easily accessible and comparable. This article was authored by Colleen C. Norton, Rochelle H. Hohm, Nancy Jaylin, and others.


All right from the vault from the vault. We're gonna do the web BLE video and then I'm gonna talk about squids Okay, let's show how you can use web Bluetooth to wirelessly program circuit playground boards with nrf 52 840 native Bluetooth, so press reset and then Press again when it's blinking to put into Bluetooth mode and then request the device pair it and Now that we're connected. You see the repel here. It's the same repel here as I type in this repel this one echoes so I can Stuff and it appears on the display. It's just completely wirelessly connected. I can even And then you go to do file management as well, so it's pretty neat. This is all completely wireless using web Bluetooth You can use with the latest version of circuit Python using your nrf 52 840 native Bluetooth boards Okay, and you Here is My ongoing my ongoing quest. Yeah, I have to finish the hardware for this Yeah, so these are the trinkets and I don't know which one we're gonna do. It's either gonna be a squid or an octopus Then we had a different version of squid and then folks are like it has to have two longer arms I'm like you're right and then they're like it kind of looks like a po-pat and I'm like you're right And so this is where we ended up with the squid and then here's the orca Here's a panda. I think like orcas don't they're they're kind of bloodthirsty killers, so they often get a bad rap But I think they're cool. They're so we're gonna figure that out But anyways back in the back in the bin for you
