Without, let's get to the topic of today. I'd like to introduce Marie. She'll give us more details about her and Marie will be talking to us about connection in midway free, a student midwives perspective. So welcome, Marie. Marie is from Scotland. So welcome, Marie. Let me just hand over the presentation back to you. Welcome. Thank you, Stella. That was absolutely wonderful. I'm going to just close my public chat. So if anybody has any questions, you can put it in the chat and Stella will keep an eye on them for me as we go along. Okay. So welcome to my talk this evening. We're here to talk about connection midway free and I'm a student midwife. So here I am. And I thought I would give you a wee bit of background about myself and where we are today and and the current course. So my first degree was postgrad was in environmental science and heritage conservation, which will, I'm using partially for this talk as well. And I came to Scotland for my postgrad. And that's in Andrews. And I went on to manage multidisciplinary teams on large historic estates here in Scotland. And then 13 years ago, I had my first child. And after connecting with Sheila Kitzinger, who was a wonderful, wonderful person within midwifery gave so much to us. And I became a fertility teacher, perinatal therapist and birth companion and the families I supported covered for NHS boards. And I did that independently. The new course that I'm mentioning here. So we've got new standards of proficiency within the new course. We are regulated by the Nursing and Midwifery Council. And this new course has started at RGU this year, of which I'm a second year now, currently. We this new course encompasses case loading and continuity of care, a case loading and more preparation for prescribing and eventually finishing with a post postgrad that we would do separately. And the newborn infant examination, which traditionally was a postgrad and was used to be done by solely by pediatricians and is now encompassed within the course. And so I've got a couple of references here. And I will have references at the end, which will will flash up quicker than you will be able to read. And I know this. However, also know that this is recorded. And if you want to check out the references, you'll be able to go back onto the website and then pause and you'll be able to see what I've referred to. And so hide the mushroom. Well, let's get comfortable. And I'll explain. But before I do, I'm going to recognize that your midwives, student midwives and researchers here today in the main, I'm absolutely thrilled that you've all come to connect this evening. And from far and wide by the looks of things in Canada and New Zealand and Germany, UK and Tix and K-Cos, I'm so thrilled to be here with you tonight. Or in the morning or in the afternoon depends on where you are, I guess. So what ground will we cover tonight? I'm going to talk about autonomy into subjectivity, some organizational psychology, ergonomics, polyvagal theory, mycological theory as well for good measure. And I want to note that I take confidentiality very, very seriously. And so what I do share tonight in the case loads is anonymized. My families that I care for are always my priority. We're all born. Most of us will have been born with the support of a midwife and that unites us all as humans. So what on earth is this? I can imagine your thinking. So this is a slide to introduce the analogy of midwifery being likened to mycological macrocosm and microcosm. And here we have got, I'll introduce you to Eurospora Crassa who is here under fluorescence microscopy. And really this was a piece of work which I won't go into in any depth but I thought it was really interesting and inspiring. And because it actually showed how the connections worked between wild and mutant variety. And I thought that was interesting because we're talking about connections. So let's see what I see as the midwifery microcosm. So that's here. So you can see if you remember I mentioned the little mushroom at the beginning there. Here's the student midwife and she or he is a mushroom here on the forest floor. And underneath them is a 3D network and you can see represented not every not everybody's here but you can see as we go around. We've got third sector support ancillary support and the medical support and specialist clinics and teams, additional professions, our governance and regulators and professional associations and unions. And we've got our academic midwifery support underneath us and clinical midwifery support as well. And we've also go and try protection and support professionals to that we incorporate. And what I wanted to get across with this slide was the student midwife is what you see on the on the surface underneath there is a vast 3D network that's ever changing it's in dynamic equilibrium which is why it wouldn't ever be possible to actually put everybody's title. And that and organization on this slide because it's always changing. And it's symbiotic as well. In fact, when I mentioned to my son, and who's now 13, and that I was doing this talk, and I run it through with him. I asked him is there anything that you'd like me to say. And what he said was, and remember that all of the, and when it comes to the mushrooms that they use the network to reduce me each other. And he's right. We do, don't we, as professionals and micro and the mushrooms actually the fungal network underneath actually pushes across the forest and information and nutrients and shares in a symbiotic way. And so that's how we support each other and symbiosis and and how do we connect. Well, we connect using lots of different. Again, everything will be here. And, but we've got conferences and invited guests either into an interest boards and or within universities. We've got clinical record systems so the confidential confidential structures, such as bad Jeanette and and we've also got journals and research. We all know some wonderful journals and research papers that we can and think of that connect our ideas together. We have got professional panels and boards and you can you can get involved in workshops and review boards and to help work out guidance and and we've also got group training and that that can be so helpful to bring all the teams together. And shorts rounds. Those are when we have lots of different professionals come together to share various different stories and can be quite inspiring. And we've got all said and linked in which are ways of sharing our knowledge with each other of what we've achieved and how we're linked. And obviously we've got handovers and within the clinical practice social media. And at my university RGU we had and we continue to have an international students project and where the students came together with other universities and the other I did it was with Switzerland and we produced a conference together, which was wonderful and I still maintain friendships from that today. And we also have terrors, which is an online learning system, which is used by NHS Scotland and all the universities link into that and island, which is a wonderful learning system that's online and run by our union RCM. And here at the end, we've got something called SBAR and closing the communication loop because I think that's quite important. And SBAR is is a way of the professionals putting information across about the people that we are taking care of in a succinct manner, and it stands for situation background assessment and recommendations. And that enables us to be better communicators and closing the communication loop means that if somebody asks somebody to do something, they close it back around again and say, yes, I understand. And then I have done it. Great, you've done it. There's basically the simplified version, but that it that that by using those techniques, we actually avoid making mistakes within the clinical practice. So I thought I would share a couple of anonymized scenarios that happened and that they talk about this. So I was involved when a what we call a maternal collapse case and a woman collapsed in her bed postnatally. And I went over I pulled the cord and the emergency cord which pulled which informs the team to come running and flattened the bed and started to do ABCDE, which is a way breathing circulation. It's another way of as a protocol that we would follow medically. And then the team arrived, which was greatly relieved about afterwards. The important thing I want to get across with that that case study was that afterwards I spoke to the senior obstetrician and asked some questions. And because I did that, I gained some knowledge and skills that otherwise I wouldn't have had. And I am so grateful to have for having these relationships. Also, the senior charge midwife took the time and got me a cup of coffee, which is a wonderful moment of connection to. And, yeah, I was I learned a lot from that scenario. PPH stands for postpartum hemorrhage. A woman had had her baby and she was bleeding heavily. So I worked with a supervisor and had prompt team come and respond to the call that we made with the emergency bill. And everybody fell into place and we stabilized her and we transferred via ambulance to a bigger hospital. And I went on to stay with the woman for a lot longer and to help her feel safe having somebody that she knew and and that was worthwhile for her. Many departments were involved in that case and keeping her safe. And it was like it was like being involved in a well oiled machine. Everybody fell into place. Everybody knew their part and actually I was really proud to be part of that. So this slide is talking about protective connection. So human factors and ergonomics for those of you might might not have come across that before. Basically, I would summarize it as having the right person in the right place at the right time with the right resources. That can make such a big difference to how we connect and how well and streamlined our services work. Recently, we've had, I would be remiss if I didn't mention this very important report, the Occenden report, which looked into failings within maternity services. And it was found that working relationships and resources and really needed improving in maternity services. And I think that by improving ergonomics and human factors, we can actually work towards doing that. Having good boundaries and understanding that the woman has a choice and her choices are paramount. Her informed choices, it's up to us as professionals to inform her and then she and support her choice. And that is protected via legislation and guidelines. And so I've referenced a few here underneath. So now we're going to talk about the microcosm. A little bit about intersubjectivity. So what I'm calling the microcosm is you can see here with this diagram that I've done a complicated Venn diagram. And here's the midwife. And then we've got the mother and the baby with them. And then the wider family, so the partner and children. So what I mean by intersubjectivity is the conscious and unconscious sharing of ideas between two subjects. And so the subject's been being here at these various circles. And that's based on Hursel's theory, which I've linked there below. And it's this, obviously we would like this area, this kind of, this is the intersubjectivity area here. And it changes. So this would be moving further out if we didn't have a great connection as a student midwife and midwife with the family. Or perhaps we did things that actually brought these two closer together. And sometimes there are moments when the baby is out here as well. For example, in cases when the mother's unwell and you need to look after the baby separately. And she's not there to do skin to skin. So you're interacting directly with the baby alone. And yeah, so that's what I'm sharing by putting this here. What I would like to say about it is that really what we're trying to do within midwifery is we're trying to bring those closer together overlapping so that we are and I'm going to use a bit of polyvagal theory here. And again, that's referenced below that. So where we are aiming to have glimmers and by glimmers and what I mean is times of connection, calm clarity, curiosity, rest recovery. These are the things we want to promote. And as opposed to triggers, which is shock and crisis disorientation and disassociation and fight, fight and freeze. So anything that we can do to bring these closer together in this microcosm as student midwives and midwives is great. We humanize birth in that way, working collaboratively rather than having an implied embodied authority over the women. We're working together as a team. And of course, like I say, they move. The other one that I would like to I'd like to mention here as well is motor peeps work, which is wonderful work that shows that relaxation sessions and can help bring the intersubjectivity together from my point of view closer together because the women and the midwife and the baby are much calmer. And there is a joint understanding. So I think that's important work that I'm looking forward to hearing more about and this further work published with them. So with that in mind, and I wanted to do a week caseload comparison and the here we've got three types of women and each with different needs. And we have the lady at the top. She had quite complex social needs, a very unusual style, which could be very easily and be misunderstood and regression. She really needed dim lights, no necessary noise and no touching. And because I was her continuity of carer and student midwife, I was able to facilitate that and make sure that everybody who was supervising me and was able to know before they went in the room. And she had a wonderful outcome. And then there's the second case load and lady and she had a really complex medical history. She was very, very well informed and she really needed to feel fully heard about her choices. And she took great comfort in doing research and so I could support her in that. And she really appreciated humor not everybody appreciates appreciates humor in the clinical setting. But she really did. And because of that, again, I approached her care totally differently. And then there was the third case who this lady had post traumatic stress disorder. And she really needed me to help slow things down with my voice. She needed a warm, nurturing voice. She needed to be touched. She needed regular eye contact. And then afterwards, she said, you believed I could. So I believed I could. And that's really what we're aiming for, isn't it? That shared connection. So I thought I would share those with you. And of course, there's the baby. So we're also connecting with the baby. When we're doing. We're using our hands to find the position of. Can you hear me now? Okay, thank you. And we're connecting with the baby. And when we're doing abdominal palpation with our hands, we're feeling for position and we're also feeling for any fetal movement. And when we are using the fetus scope, the Doppler or the CTG, we're connecting with the baby in the baby's health and listening to the heartbeat. And we're also connecting with the baby when we do the newborn infant exam. So I often change what order I would do things in according to how the baby is cooperating or not. And you are connecting with that baby and doing that. And then here I wanted that you might wonder why on earth has she got some musical score here. And it's because when I was learning newborn recess, and I realized that when I was doing inflation breaths, I needed to slow down. So I don't know whether or not you know the blue Danube at all. It's a very slow walls. It's a well known walls. You might know it from Space Odyssey or Squid Games. And it's that one that goes. It's like that. So you can imagine when you're doing the, I can't see what my camera is, when you're doing inflation breaths, it's one, two, three, two, two, three. And so I use that in my mind. And so now every time I'm doing that thereafter, I think of this lovely walls. And so that when I was actually in a newborn resuscitation situation, I was actually kept calm. Because I was thinking about this walls. And that was enabling me to remember. And by using the resuscitation protocol, we're communicating with the baby, communicating with the baby to tell them to breathe. We want them to breathe. So we're on the last slide here. So here are my wonderful, wonderful peers at RGU in Scotland. This was actually, I got their permission to share this photo. I am immensely proud of all of them. This was actually the first time that we came together because of the blended learning that was partially online and partially with only the skills being face to face. And those skills and sessions were done in small clusters in order to protect everyone against COVID-19. And this was this year. And this photo was taken. And it was actually the first time that our entire cohort were together. So you might think in those circumstances, how on earth are you connecting as a cohort? Because obviously in the past cohorts would come together as students and you would see each other day to day during theory slots. And presumably you're not doing that. We've actually connected quite well. We have formed some wonderful relationships. We've also, because of the blended learning and being online, it's been really invaluable because it's enabled those of us who live in rural areas to continue. If we're far away from uni, maybe we've got caring responsibilities at home. It's actually been absolutely wonderful to have that. And I hope it continues for people because it really makes Midwifery more accessible to people in the whole of Scotland. The Midwifery Society of which I'm the president of, that brings people together too. The student midwives come together. We've organised talks such as sign language and rheumatherapy. We've had nights out at the ball. We had a spring ball recently, which I'll say a bit more about in a bit. And we've had invited speakers and we've done some reasonable amount of fundraising as well through exercise. So we fundraised over £2,000 for charities that supports families in the UK and abroad. And you might be wondering, what on earth is Leather and Bozies Murray? Well, it's Doric, which is a local dialect where the university is based. And it basically means a chat or a talk and a cuddle. And those are online sessions. Those online sessions are done regularly so people can drop in no matter where they are on placement. And bear in mind that our placements are covering a location. If you think about the map of Scotland and you get draw a line across the top of the central belt including five and a wee bit to the west. And then our placements cover all the way to the top of Orkney north of that. So it's a vast, vast area. And we've got younger and old students going out into various different places out on placement as well as those in theory. And everybody can pop in to the Leather and Bozies. So it's a bit like a coffee meeting really. And it has a set format. So everybody comes in, you would introduce yourself with your name, what area you're in. And something good that's happened recently. So we hear some real wonderful victories and something that's a be in your bonnet. Now that could be maybe something didn't go too well or something's not going your way. Or it could even, we've had a few that an article has come out and we're feeling kind of cross about that. And we took it all out and we support each other. And we supported each other through health and financial emergencies and grief. And we've had some amazing highs. And I am immensely proud of my peers. I really am. And now I also wanted to talk about the bore, which happened after the deadline for the slides. And otherwise I would have shared some wonderful pictures of our spring bore. And we actually had, it was, it was a beautiful evening. And we all came together in our lovely, our lovely dresses and everything. And a beautiful historic house hotel.  And when I taught it up, we had just in that room alone. Over one year, we had contributed one over 1.2 million pounds worth of placement hours. And to the NHS, which I think is pretty incredible. And each of the tables was named after an inspiring midwife who has passed on, such as Mary Cronk. So we all learned a little bit too. And I thought I would share with you the little gift that we all got. Because this is about connection too. So we had, everybody had one of these little presentation boxes. And I don't remember if you can see, but I had these made. There we go. Can you see it's a little badge? There we go. I think it's the opposite. It's a little badge and it's got a little silver baby in the middle there. A little enamel badge with our icon. And as I leave you this evening, and you've all been very patient with me, I thought I would go in sharing what part of the toast that I gave at the ball. So this badge signifies a bond between us, the founding of a permanent kinship in this ever changing world of midwifery. This promise starting in the hearts of the midwives back in the midst of time and perpetuating forwards for as long as a human exists. If you give me your word, then I will give you mine to create peace in the births of our nation's babies and uphold midwifery forevermore. Now we can't raise a glass. So let's raise our thoughts for all the safe hands and warm hearts which will care for all of our world's babies because we are all needed, yourselves included. So thank you for being so nice and listening to me. And these are the references, I'll hold it there. Whilst I hold these references, I'm completely happy to take any questions. I'm going to open the chat now. Thank you Marie, that was very inspiring. We have lots of comments on the chat box.  A beautiful analogy of the mushroom. I really enjoyed that. There's a lot of comments around teamwork. From Lauren, she really enjoyed the interesting link. Sorry, there's an echo. She really enjoyed the interesting link where she said that we really do need the support of our colleagues and wider teams without them she cannot imagine. Celine had a very interesting quote from Simon Sinek. A team is not a group of people who work together. A team is a group of people who trust each other. So very interesting comments coming in. Let me just say. Remember, we are open for questions to Marie. Well done Marie. Wonderful presentation. As you think of questions, maybe Marie, I have a question. Have you had a favorable placement as a student? I have indeed. I really enjoyed working in community. A standalone midwifery unit. The reason being that there was such a wonderful mix of antinatal interpartum and postnatal. And I really loved the staff there. They were very, very welcoming. So much so that I actually left my mug there and the hope that I'd end up going back. Beautiful. There's a question from Sarah. What feedback have you had from families about the connections you have made with them providing continuity of care? That's a great question, Sarah. My most recent experience, the mother reached out. She was in a very vulnerable position. And I did not leave her side. And she said to me, you're like my sister. And that meant a great deal to me. That really did. Because we're all human. So and continuity of carer really humanizes birth. And I really believe it makes being a student midwife much more profound in experience. You learn more too. So that was a nice feedback. And trying to think back to any others. The lady who had the first case study I gave with the connection, she gave me some wonderful feedback. She said, you just let me get on with it. It's what I needed. And so, yeah, and that's wonderful when a woman believes that she's in charge. And you are just facilitating in the background. And the priority, I think you're doing a good job when you get that. Thank you, Marie. There was a question from Lauren. Connection trust support continuity of care for families. She, she, she. I guess that was the question. Is there how do you build on connection trust and support for the families? And maybe Lauren, and if I've gotten it wrong, you can just probably clarify it. I think with continuity care, you are able to build a more profound connection with people because you're able to spend more time with them. You are able to go away and research what's pertinent to their case and then come back. And that can be wonderful for people. They, they don't have to keep explaining their complex needs. Or even if they don't have complex needs, they just, they can just relax. When we meet somebody new, no matter how lovely they are, we're, we're, you know, our barriers are up until we get used to one another. We have that into subjectivity. We build that up together. That takes time. And I think it's, it's more effective as well. Thank you for that. There was a comment from Katie. Love this Marie about the, you know, the, the music.  That was that to announce today. So very good connection there. Let me see. Oh, there's a question from Celine and Celine also wanted to know, can you share the, the toast you did on texts? If you don't mind, there's a question on how to, how to, how to nourish connectivity in the context of fragmented care. I think by having a team that works really well together, you're creating a, an environment where, where people, you're able to focus on the families themselves as opposed to building into subjectivity between the teams. So that's a good start. And staying up to date and being able to, to move from one type of case to another. I think that that helps. Thank you.

OK, let's jump into today's report. We are looking at Microsoft to release earnings after the New York closed this evening. Looking for an earnings per share of $2.18 on revenue of $49.03 billion. I would highlight there's a whisper number on the streets of earnings per share, potentially as high as $2.27. In terms of what to look for in the report, the focus is really going to be on Microsoft's Xbox content and services revenue. This key metric measures the performance of Microsoft's Xbox content and services comprising of digital transactions, Xbox Game Pass and other subscriptions, video games, third party video game royalties, cloud services and advertising. Microsoft's pending acquisition of Activision Blizzard, if approved by regulators, will dramatically expand the company's reach in games. Once the acquisition is complete, investors will watch to see how many of Activision's games will be included in Microsoft's Game Pass service, which allows customers to pay a flat fee for access to a library of games. Growth of Microsoft's Xbox content and services revenue has been highly valuable in recent years. The business grew in revenue at more than 30% per quarter during the first three quarters of 2021 at a robust pace, but it flattened out in the fourth quarter, falling by 7%. It posted zero growth in the first quarter of 2022, improving to 10% growth in the second quarter of 2022, with analysts expecting a 5.2% print for the third quarter. Let's now take a look at some of the statistical trading patterns around the earnings release. The stock has moved higher in the immediate aftermath of earnings, 8,000 for the last 12 reports. Some average, the stock moved up 0.4% in the first day of trading after the company reported earnings. Based on the previous 12 earnings released, the stock is more likely to trade higher one day after earnings for an average gain of 0.2%. Stock has moved higher one week after earnings, 10 out of the 12 previous reports for an average gain of 2.5%. In terms of what we can glean from the options market, implied volatility suggests options traders are looking at a 6.9% move on the earnings, but the stock has only averaged a 2.5% move in recent quarters. From a flow perspective and sentiment, quite a decent size bias, 6,145 contracts of the bullish $300 call expiring this Friday. Options order flow sentiment in general is also bullish. Investor sentiment going into the company's earnings release has a 78% expectancy of an earnings beat. Consensus estimates are for year-over-year earnings growth of 11.79% with revenue increasing by 17.56%. A short interest in the company has decreased by 6.5% since the company's last earnings release, while the stock has drifted lower by 11% from its open following the earnings release to be 9.7% below its 200-day moving average at $303.60. So, let's take a look now at the technical setup and see where some trading opportunities may develop post earnings. From a technical perspective, we are in a corrected phase at the moment. Obviously, we have that nice bull run post pandemic lows into the highs printed at the beginning of this year. So, I'm looking for a three-wave corrective move. Well, it's a double correction. It's a WXY pattern I'm looking to trade here. Any short-term pop on the earnings, I'm anticipating will fade and we should see a further decline down through the monthly projected rainfall at $2.69. And then I'm looking to target the quality objective at $238. From there, I watched with bullish reversal patterns to engage on the long side, initially targeting move back up into the high volume load here just below $300 per share. Now, if we get a really strong report and buy a step in in a meaningful fashion, any move back through this high volume load would be constructive. So, any close through $300 would suggest the downside correction is actually complete. Then we will be targeting a move back through $316, the swing pivot there, looking for a retest of the prior highs $349 on route then to an ideal $370. As always traders, plan the trade, trade the plan and most importantly manage your risk. Until next time, thanks very much.


Okay, so hello everyone. I am Somya. I work as a senior software developer at Walmart Labs and I work for a team called Customer Backbone whose primary goal is to get all the customer data for all the teams in Walmart. So that sounds quite simple, right? So let me complicate that for you. Walmart is the largest retail company in US and it has both online and offline presence. It has online stores as well as the e-commerce website and it has a warehouse club called Sam's Club. It has so many of its acquired businesses like jet.com and now even Flipkart you would have heard of. So there are millions of customers who are visiting these platforms every day and they are generating tons of data in terms of their searching, browsing and purchase history and if everybody in Walmart tried to get this data on their own there would be a lot of chaos. So we being the good Samaritans that we are, we decided to build a single platform to get all this data and make it available to everyone so that they can come in and make queries like give me all the customers who like Apple products or get me all the customers between the age of 20 and 30 who bought a clothing item in the last one month. So our consumers can mostly be divided into three categories. One is the marketing team that sends out the promotional emails that you would have seen that there's this offer on this product and that offer on this thing and then there's the personalization team which uses the user preferences to customize the website according to your preferences and we also have a bunch of very intelligent data scientists who are working on building multiple models like which are the users that are most likely to make a purchase in the electronics department and so on. We also ingest these data models and make it available to everybody in Walmart. So let me tell you how we did all this. So the first question is how do we store all this enormous amount of data? So we went for the very obvious choice for it, the Apache Hadoop system and I'm sure all of you already know and have already worked with this. So let me tell you about just the two main things that were that we thought were the best for us. The first thing was it's highly scalable. The amount of data that we have can never reside on a single machine or two or three machines. We need lots of machines and Hadoop provides us the option to distribute our data and make it highly available and create backups of it so that we don't have to worry about all those things. And the second thing is that Hive is a very easy to learn language and anyone and everyone in Walmart can just learn it and then create multiple queries of whatever they want on our dataset. So the typical data lifecycle is something like this. We ingest the data from the source and do some basic cleanup like removal of nulls and blanks etc. We then merge the customer from these multiple platforms like store ID, website ID, device ID and stuff like that based on multiple things like their phone numbers or email addresses, IP addresses and things like that. Once the customers are merged we might have to put in some defaults because a store customer will not have a home address while a website customer will have that. So we also standardize the data so because this is coming from so many different platforms we need some standardizations. So this means things like if it's a time-related facet converted to Epoch, if it's currency maybe converted to a single currency. Also the data in Hive, joining in Hive is a very costly affair so and storage is quite cheap. So what we do is that we denormalize the data, we do all the joins in the back end and give this data so that we make the life of our customers easy. We also partition this data for the same reason and then do multiple checks on that to make sure that we are consuming the data in a very good manner and the correct manner and then finally publish this data. So with this thing in mind we what we did was that this is how we could have designed a system that we take the user identity, create the mappings, do a join with all the source data and publish it in a final table. But as I said joining is a costly affair and joining 20 sources or 30 sources in a single call will mean that you will require lots and lots of resources and probably that query will run on for hours and probably even days. So join was not something we could have done. So we added a staging table in between and the data from the source would be joined with the staging table one by one and then finally published to the final table. But even this setup ran for around 20 to 25 hours. So instead of having a single staging table, we added partitions to that and the data from each of the source will go to its own partition in the staging table. This parallelization helped us a lot and brought down the time from 20 hours to five hours and it also made the life of the developers easy because previously they had to do an integration test. They would require a full day to do that. Well now it would just take four or five hours. We also did a bunch of other, sorry. So one thing that was still very wrong with our entire setup was that we were running all these tasks through Cron tabs and believe me that's not a very good option. Cron tabs are very difficult to debug and manage, especially when there are multiple people working on the same set of tasks. So we needed a good scheduler and we looked at a bunch of very good schedulers and finally decided to go with Airflow. There are a lot of good things about Airflow and I don't have the time to discuss all of them but I would definitely tell you the few that we like the most. So the first thing that we liked very much about Airflow is the way that you can generate the DAG itself. So unlike the other schedulers, what you can do is in a programmatic way, if you see here, what we do is that we have all the metadata for our sources in the MySQL table that the Airflow fetches at the real time and then it iterates over then that and creates the task. So that means every time we have to add a new source, we don't have to write code for that. We just have to write the basic metadata for that in the MySQL and the DAG will automatically pick it up at the real time. The other thing is that Airflow is highly scalable. So if you see that the scheduler is completely independent and you can have as many workers as you want. So we have a common setup for our entire team and we have different workers for different kinds of setups. So we have an independent setup which doesn't have to care about the rest of the task and we can just run our stuff on the system. This architecture also helps in maintenance because suppose there's something wrong with your scheduler and you want to deploy that, but there's some task already running on the worker that you don't want to stop. So this system helps us to deploy the scheduler independently or deploy the workers independently without affecting anything else. And Airflow also has a very rich UI which helps in a lot of things like these starting stuff and looking at the logs. All of those things are available at the web server itself. We also did a bunch of other optimizations like we get the data incrementally. So if we have already processed something once, we are not going to process it again. That also gives us item potency. We also used compression. So if you see here we looked at the ORC format with a bunch of compressions and ORC plus Zlib gave us a very good result in terms of storage space. It reduced it by a lot and it also benefited us where runtime was concerned. It made our jobs faster. So this was a very good optimization. Apart from that, we also for data reliability, we also do a bunch of stuff like every time there is a task running, we compare the input data as well as the output data and make sure that we're consuming all the data in a correct manner. And we create snapshots of our data, which means that rolling back is as simple as just deleting a done file. Our system is fault tolerant, which means that we make sure that we take care of all the edge cases, even if they are occurring just once in a blue moon. Monitoring, according to me, is the most important thing that you need when running a large scale application. You need to be aware of things that are going wrong with your system even before the user has a chance to raise a trouble request. We also used verdict DB to do some approximate query processing. So in very simple words, what verdict does is that it creates an intelligent sample of your data, runs the query on that and gives you a projection for the entire data set. So how this helps us is suppose you're a marketer who wants to promote the latest iPhone X and you want to create a user segment of people who bought an iPhone in the past, say six months. But once the data comes in, then you look at the user segment, the number of users are very small.  And if that is also less, then maybe get me all the users who bought any Apple product in the last six months. So a marketer always has to run a number of filters to get to the final segment that he wants. And if each of the, like because the data set is so huge, each of these segment creation takes around eight to 10 minutes. And waiting that much every time you change a filter is not a good idea. So in comes verdict and what verdict, as I said, it will create a sample and run the queries in a very short time, like five to 10 seconds and give you an approximate count of what the users will be with those filters. And once you're happy with the approximate number, you can generate the actual number. And verdict says that it's 99% accurate and there's just a scope of 1% error, which is a good number for an approximate count. So with all those things in mind, what we finally had was that we create the identities of the user. We generate those identities based on the things that I explained earlier. We have a bunch of generate tasks running for each of the sources where we get all the data from the source. We also have a bunch of tasks running for getting the metrics from all the sources. We group the source data by the identities and then compare those numbers with the numbers we got from the source and then finally publish it. With this entire setup, we have the pipeline running in three hours. We are consuming the data for 500 million customers who are present on the web as well as 400 mobile devices doing 1 million daily activities on the site and 24 million daily activities on the mobile. And so that was it. So now on to the most dreaded part of this presentation. Fair warning, I may not be able to answer all of your questions, but I'll try to do my best. Thank you, Samya. Can we have an applause, please? Okay. How many of you have questions? Can you please raise your hands? Just one? That's it? Okay. Can we get somebody to give him the mic, please? Hello? Hi. Can you talk a bit more about the reliability you said? Like you compared the input and output. How do you do that on the last set? Because your pipeline already takes too much time. So we try to make sure that all the reliability things that we're doing do not affect the runtime. So if you see here, the metric collection from the source happens in parallel with the generate tasks, which means that even if we didn't have those tasks, we will still be spending some time on the generate tasks. So this helps us in reducing the time. And then once we have the data in the final table that we have, so the comparison takes some time, but I think that is necessary because we do want to make sure that we have the correct data. Apart from that, we also have some checks while we are running these generate tasks. And again, we try to make sure that all these things run in parallel so that we're not spending a lot of time on that. And yeah. Yeah, okay. So the metrics that we collect is that the most basic thing that we run every day is that the counts of the number of customers that are there in the source table should always be the same as that in the final table. Apart from that, we also have weekly jobs and test suits that we run when we are deploying a new change that compare the exact value of the facets. So suppose I'm collecting the data for gender for a customer. So we make sure that we have all the customers and the data from all the customers is the same as that in the source. But this is a heavy query which we run only once in a week when the load is low or we run it when whenever we are making a new change to make sure that the changes are not breaking anything. So this is regarding, so when you mentioned that like you have to clean the data before you put it for the scheduler. Right. So how do you automate that? So one basic thing that we do have to do is look at the data once we are adding a new source and to make sure that we don't have any new kind of stuff that we're not already handling. But otherwise things like default checks, null checks and we have for each, like for example, gender again, right? So you can have only three or four things that should have been in that column. So if we are getting something apart from that, we'll ignore that and nulls and blanks are all always there in all of the sources. And then we do do a basic set of sanity tests before adding a source to make sure we find out all the kinds of values that could be present for that. Hey, nice talk. Can you talk a bit more about the staging tables? Okay, so the staging table is basically a kind of replica of the actual table that is there. The only difference is that we have partitions based on the sources. So whenever we get the data from one source, we'll put it into that particular partition of its own in the staging table. And once the data from all the staging tables is available in that from all the sources is available in the staging table, we group by by the identifiers like store ID and email ID and stuff like that. So that way the structure is the same as the final table that we have at the end is just that has different partitions. So just to clarify, so basically the joining happens in two stages. Right, right. So one from the source is joining and then the final joining, right? Right. Hi, Samya. Thanks for the talk. So you said that you're partitioning by sources. Now each source will have varied amount of data. So that means you're generating skew in the system. Yes, yes. So how do you deal with that? So mostly we are since we are getting the data at a customer level, the data is not that skewed. But sometimes we have seen like for example, when we are getting the data for devices, then the number of mobile devices will obviously be more than the number of actual customers that are there. So we do have some kind of bucket joints where we like the first time when we are joining the identifiers, the mappings and all. So in that case, we try to make sure that we have a good distribution. And apart from that, we are also since we are bucketing, so the bucketing scheme we decide based on what the data is going to come in. If it's going to be a large set of data, we get more number of buckets so that the number of items in a single bucket are constant across. Yeah. Hi. So just wanted to know more on how do you all manage the backup and you said like you all maintain the versions of data, right? So in warehouse, how do you all go about keeping the backup of the whole entire big chunk of data and managing it in versions? I mean, it's a huge task. So how do you all go about doing that? So Hive definitely helps us in keeping the backup across multiple machines, the distributed system. So that is one thing. Apart from that, every time we have a data, we try to create partitions based on the date. So if I'm adding some data today, it'll have a separate partition based on other things as well as the date. So this also helps us in as I said in rolling back. So if the data in the latest partition is wrong, we'll just delete that partition or maybe delete the done file for that partition. And but yeah, since we have a lot of data, we do have to have a lot of machines to make sure that we have all that data. But we don't keep the partitions, sorry, the replicas indefinitely. We have like maybe last 10 or 15 months so that if we are rolling back, we have a scope of going back three or four steps, but not more than that. Hi, Samia. Thanks for the talk. I have two questions basically. One, do you do any kind of enrichment or deduplication in your staging layer or even after that? And two, what is your choice of data structure or the data model that you have chosen, which makes it easy for all of this to happen? So the first question, we don't enrich the data ourselves, but we have several models. For example, if it's a store customer, right, we won't have a lot of data from them that they are providing. For example, taking again the example of gender, a store customer will not be inputting somewhere that, okay, I am a male or a female or something like that. So we have, we do have data models on that where we look at the purchase history and based on that, we try to, like the data sciences have done this, made these models and we ingest that data and we make that available as well. So we're not doing that ourselves, but we have a bunch of data scientists from the other teams who are working on multiple models on getting more data, more probabilistic data rather than what we already have from the customer itself. And the data structure, we have a very fight, very flat structure. Most of the data is, maybe it'll have a single value or multiple value, so that goes just as a column. We also have some complex data, for example, purchase history. So purchase history will have multiple things like what are the things that you bought, what are the department, what is the date when this purchase was made. So we try to use struct for that. And there also we don't want to have too much nesting because that'll again make the queries slow. So we try to make it as flat as possible so that the final queries that are running in good time. Hi, I have a question. How many segments do you eventually create? That's the first question. Second question is, how do marketers use these segments? So segments right now, I think we have maybe five or six segments per hour that are being generated. And the marketers usually use these segments, for example, if, as I said, if there's a new iPhone coming in, right? And so we, they want to get all the users who had showed an interest in Apple products in the past. They might have bought it, they might have browsed it. And they use this, this segment to send out emails that this product, this new product is available. Or there are also retargeting stuff that is happening. For example, if you look at something today and maybe if you didn't buy it, then tomorrow we might show and add for it on Facebook or Twitter so that it reminds you that you can go ahead and buy this product. Do we have more questions? Having an active audience asking you so many interesting questions is the best feedback, isn't it? Thank you for such an amazing, nice first talk for the morning. Can you please give her another round of applause? That was so amazing. Thank you. Thank you everyone.


Activity Cards Redesign in Moodle 4.3 The cards containing information about activities and resources have been significantly redesigned in Moodle 4.3. Enhancements include streamlined cards with smaller icons for activities, completion conditions in a space-saving drop-down, show more, less options for access restrictions, and group mode icons for each activity. When student Paula goes to her course, she sees a more compact layout with narrower activity cards. She clicks the drop-down to the right of an activity to see details of what she must do, for example viewing a book or receiving a grade. If an item is not completely hidden but has several restrictions, she can click show more to see all the restrictions. Logging in as teacher Mr Wilson we see a group icon against the forum. In this case, visible groups. With edit mode on, he can click to change from visible to separate or no groups, and a group icon appears when our teacher hovers over an activity that supports groups, such as a quiz, enabling him to easily and quickly set it to separate or visible groups. Group mode can also be set from the three dots to the right. A new link, availability, also from the three dots, gives him easy access to the options to hide, or unhide if hidden, and if stealth mode is enabled by the admin, to make available but not show on the course page. And if an item is hidden, he can also quickly change availability from the link under its name. From the completion conditions drop-down, as well as seeing the conditions a student Paula did, he can click to quickly edit the conditions if needed. And note that the link takes him directly to the activity completion settings. Where an item is restricted, such as our end-of-course feedback form, he can modify the restrictions from the link, and note he's taken again directly to the settings. To summarise, the activity card redesign in Moodle 4.3 brings smaller icons and streamlined cards with compact, easily configurable conditions and restrictions, and helpful group mode options.


Hey, what's up everybody? So as some of you know, I'm creating a new game in Unreal Engine, a space survival simulator type game that's going to be available on Steam later this year called Outpost 14 and I'm working on creating some introduction videos, some trailer pieces, some cutscenes for this using Unreal Engine and DaVinci Resolve and so I wanted to create a little video and show how I'm doing some of these things. So let's start out here in Unreal Engine and as you can see I've got my first level built here and I've just got some basic stuff. Let's see I've got this planet. I've got a couple of moons. I've got this spaceship asset Let's see if it will let me get to where I can control and a couple of cameras and That's pretty much it for this and it's all inside of a post-process volume and I have The auto exposure turned off. I've got it on manual. That's why everything looks kind of dark here Like that for the more cinematic look so Here's what we've got going on First of all I set everything to 24 frames per second I just feel like it looks more filmic that way more cinematic In fact, it even says film here. So That works out well for DaVinci Resolve also All right, so let's talk about these assets for a second. This planet and these moons are part of the planet creator Plug-in from the marketplace. I'm not sure how much that currently costs I may have gotten it as a monthly free thing or I may have paid a small amount for it It's well worth it either way if you're doing any kind of space stuff because even though these planets aren't full size Like you can't zoom all the way into it They look good at a distance and they have like animated clouds and you can Change several things about them. So I've tweaked this a little bit to look earth-like but not earth exact And I've added a couple of moons here to make it look, you know, like it is another world Which it's supposed to be The spaceship models that I'm using are from Kibash 3d and I like a lot of their stuff and this is from their spaceships Model or model set and I think I just grabbed one of their default pieces because I'm only kind of showing an edge of it But as you can see this is a pretty cool looking model and I'm using another like little Component piece another capsule. Let's see. Where is that? I'm using it here For this fall. And so this is in the game. This is what you start out with You are a robot that's inside of this and you've been deployed to this other planet to set up this outpost outpost 14 For the the humans that are arriving soon. So you better do a good job or they're not gonna make it So at any rate This cutscene starts out You've already seen it because I hopefully I played it at the beginning of this video But you know, you're seeing the spaceship here. There'll be some sound effects. It deploys the the pod down The next shot the pod is here you know entering the atmosphere of the of the planet Whatever, I'm not really sure what I named the planet in the video Those things I just kind of make up on the fly So anyway, let's move on to the next scene. And so in this scene, you know, we've shifted view to the planet and the The little pod is coming in for a landing. Let's see Go to this view And you see the camera kind of tracks it across and The next scene after this will be you know it on the ground with the robot coming out That's the scene I'm working on next And so, you know, this is some pretty nice looking landscape stuff I had to do a little bit of adjusting with this because it was an 8k Landscape and that was a little bit too much for my video card to render out With the the high quality video so but as you can see this this looks pretty good to me so Some other things I've done here Like with the The camera, I typically set the lens to you know 12 millimeter or 24 millimeter or something fairly wide to get you know, these nice landscape shots And I will typically set the aperture, you know fairly low That just kind of looks more like a cinema lens to me And sometimes I will I did it on the other one, but I didn't do it on this one But with the focus you can actually track an object. So, you know, I could tell This camera. Oh, I do it here actually too. So I am tracking to this capsule So wherever this capsule is it's going to change the focus distance and actually I believe you can see it change right here As I'm scrolling through this you can see that focus distance change So that it keeps that in focus at all times Okay, so let's see. Let's move over to DaVinci Resolve and I'll show you how I put all this together And create a video file. Oh, actually, let's let's back up one second. You're missing something here, Brian So to export these videos and the best quality you're gonna want to use the Apple Pro res And so to do that you want to go to the plugins and you want to type in Pro res and you want to make sure that this Apple Pro res media is enabled It's gonna require you to restart if you haven't already enabled that But that's gonna give you the better options here for the export. So let's see. Let's go to the media movie render queue Let's make sure that we're on this and not the legacy one and Let's see. So let's open this up And we're gonna go into the config here. I don't really care about this JPEG sequence. I want to use this Apple Pro res 10 to 12 bit and I usually will use the Apple Pro res 422 HQ. That's that's a pretty good container for for what we're gonna do Going forward and it's not the file size is not too huge on that So everything else here is gonna be okay for me for right now. So let's just accept this and Let's hit render and so it's gonna kind of go through the scene It's gonna give you a low quality preview here as it's creating the higher quality file And so let's see we'll just let this roll through the camera change All right, and so that's it now I have the video saved and so Let's jump over to DaVinci Resolve and continue All right. So in DaVinci Resolve, um, this is my project file I've got my two clips that I created. This one was you know, since I used the same scene I just created both clips in the same thing and just did a camera change from within Unreal and then the second one I created a whole other scene and exported the secondary video And I'll have a fourth and a fifth and a sixth part of this introduction To the game, you know as as well. I just kind of wanted to go ahead and stop here and show how I was doing this So, uh, I pulled them all in on the cut timeline here. Typically, you know, I have this video And I have this one and I have like the overlap And then I will Do most of my work here in the edit tab And so in this case, I've added a couple of these Text overlays and these are the default ones that come with DaVinci I'm not sure if they come with the free version or not. I'm on the paid version But these are like the Let's see what are they they're the titles And I think they're like the the digital glitch lower third or something Yeah, so they're they're these things, but I just changed the fonts to match the fonts that I'm using for my game And so, you know, I just made up some information here about what this planet is As you can see here's that clip And then you know this right here, this is where I introduced the game future home of shifting over to this scene Going through here All looks pretty nice You may notice that the planet looks quite a bit different more green That is this I put an adjustment clip here. This is what I like to do when I'm playing around with Luts or with other kind of color grading things I like to put an adjustment clip that way I can adjust everything all at once And kind of see how it looks And so let's see this You can see that's what it was before and this is after And so I'm just using, you know, a cinematic LUT from maybe triune or something I have a bunch of LUTs that I've Collected over the past few years And the way that I typically would apply that is I'd go to the color tab and my adjustment clip is going to show up as a different clip here and on this one I will You know add a node add a serial node and on this Extra node and I do this so that, you know, I can disable it and see like this On this node, I add a LUT and I still need to add some sound effects and everything else to this And I will do that here in the edit tab so as I do my sound design and Creating some theme music for this that'll be one of the next steps And speaking of next steps Here's some of the robot that I'm building in Blender that will be part of the next scene as this capsule lands in the landscape and the The robot is deployed to begin to build the base and collect resources from the local landscape So make sure you subscribe if you like this type of content I'll be you know going through the whole process of building this game and and getting it on steam on this channel and my other channel as well, so Take a look in the description for any links and leave comments if you have questions and thanks for watching


Alright guys, I was Vince Kelvin, found with P-Way Summit, and a whole bunch of other things too. Awesome guy, awesome speech. Next up, we have Frederick, aka Satisfaction. This guy's been studying success with women for six years. Three of those he's been in relationships. The way he coaches, he likes to call it flirting. That's really what it's all about to him. Not so much the classic term we like to label social skills, game. So it's all about flirting, not so much the game. He also coaches women too actually. Well, he's been a coach for a long time, and he coaches women, and he's been coaching in this field like Vince and other guys for about a year and a half now, a little bit more actually. And he's from Amsterdam. I was actually staying with him. I've actually seen the speech he's about to give you. I started practicing it in Amsterdam and it was, I'm not going to lie, pretty badass. It was the first time I saw him speak and I really, really liked it, and I spoke right after him. Fun time. Fun city. And I appreciate him letting me crash at his place. No problem. So yeah, dude, take it away man, kill it. Thanks Anthony. Alright guys, my actual name is Frederick. Yeah. Do you have an online name? Do you have an online name? What's your online name? Well, I can't even say it, but I guess I did. You don't even know how to say it, but you do have an online name. So you have a double identity, right? So I have that too. I try to get rid of it. Do you know why I want to get rid of it? Because I like being real. I just like being a real, real guy. That's what it really comes down to. I love to be in touch with myself. I love to know what I want. I love to really have standards, both for myself and also the people I meet, right? If I meet not only a girl, but also a guy and he doesn't really fit my core standards. For example, if he's dishonest, well he can go somewhere, but please not near me. And this is kind of something I want to talk to you about. Having standards in the women you meet and also having standards in yourself. Does that correspond to something you know from method flirting or some people call it game, fine. Does that correspond to something? Having standards, can you imagine? What do you think? No? Anybody? Value. Value? It's not bad. However, I'm looking for something else. I'm looking for the most overlooked, understated thing there is in old school method. I'll say it one more time. Game. Respect yourself. Qualification. Have you ever heard that word? Qualification? Yeah. Right. I'm looking for something where you would give the woman a reason why you like her. See I think you should give her a real reason. A reason that actually corresponds to you. And this is basically what I want to talk about. Like Anthony said, I've been in this for six years. I've had one committed relationship in between for three years where I was with one woman. And that's actually something that you know, when I'm 35, it's going to be over seven years. I don't see myself being at the club the whole weekend, you know every now and then I will be, maybe once a week, but I'll have somebody with me, beautiful girl that I really love. I'm actually in a relationship right now, open relationship, excellent girl, really like her. So this is what it's all about for me. But first of all, you know, it's pretty sad.  Not the last three luckily, but in a period of my life when I was 18, 19 to sort of 21, 22, there was a period of my life where I almost didn't even kiss a girl besides the yearly one drunk occasion where you sort of fall into somebody's lap accidentally. Right? You guys can probably relate to that.  Who has a period of, who's had a period in his life where he didn't get what he want in terms of relationships, in terms of sex life, in terms of your own attractive lifestyle. Almost everybody can relate to this. Awesome. A period of time where you had this. Two years? Yeah. Two, three years?  Yeah, exactly. So how bad is that? So you've exactly been at the place where I've been. Congratulations.  I really like that. Give me a hand. See, I've been there too and a lot of people in this room have been there as well. Right? And this is what got me into learning how to flirt with women better, learning how to better interact with women. Learning how to be both happy with myself and the people I meet and the people I be with, the people I basically spend my time with. But since we've already started with a sort of story that kind of corresponds to Alcoholics Anonymous, I'm Frederick, I didn't have sex for three years, I want to sort of take this a little bit deeper because there are some things that people when they get into this, some pitfalls that almost, I would say that almost nobody can avoid. And I've certainly had my share of these pitfalls and I want to talk to you a little bit about these five, in my opinion, worst pitfalls that you can fall into. Number one, the information download junkie, right? A lot of these companies make a lot of stuff freely available to you so that you come back to them, which is, I think, a good thing, both for their business and for your development. However, if you download the number 169 free e-book, what do you think that's going to give you? Any idea? What do you think that's going to give you? Advertisement for the rest. And a lot, advertisement for the rest, yes? And a lot of stuff you've read before already. This is going to be boring? Yes, it's going to be boring. And you know what? You're going to spend a lot of time searching and downloading these e-books. And then in the end, you're going to get completely confused. Because as we all know, there's natural flirting, there's a method for it. There's even NLP-based methods for it, speed seduction, whatever you name it, it's there. And when you get into the phase where you try to naturalize speed seduction in a method phase model, then you're really going to get screwed up and you're never going to get anywhere. You know, I've certainly had my share of this. Has anybody downloaded a lot of stuff that afterwards they thought is completely useless a few years later? Yeah, half of the room can relate. The other half are still downloading. I hope you stop that right now. And you actually focus on the stuff you have and actually on yourself and your interactions with others, because that's what you learn most. That's exactly the point where you really learn.  That doesn't give you anything. Get out of the house, meet people. You know, meet girls, meet guys. Like Vince said earlier, meet the old lady. Why not? Talk to the cashier in the supermarket. You will make their day. It has a few benefits for you too. You know how I check into a hotel? How do you check into a hotel? Well, you say my name is XYZ. I have a reservation usually, right? Yeah, do you know what I say? Hey, how are you doing? Are you having a good day? Awesome. Really like to meet you. It's a good being here. And yeah, my name is Frederick and yeah, I've reserved a room. But first of all, I try to make their day just a little bit better. I've spent 122 nights in a hotel last year for my job. And you know what? I realize this at some point and it's not only making their day better, but you know what it also happens, what it also leads to?  So how's that?  It's a mutual exchange of value. So actually go out and do stuff and don't be reading the whole time, right? Actually practice another pitfall. I need to take my notes here because I'm not that smart to remember an entire poem by myself. Without the confused information or download junkie, what could this relate to? Wasting time, right? This is another pitfall, wasting time on activities that are basically not useful, that are not bringing you further. So we know now the two pitfalls and what they lead to. So what I really want to do now is I don't just want to paint a black picture. I want to give you guys a remedy for this. Also you guys at home watching right now. Because maybe you're watching the second video, which is good because there are awesome videos on the side. Maybe you're watching the 69th video. Well, in a row, I think you should first of all go pick up something to eat, maybe have a drink and exercise before you watch the other videos.  I'm not saying that having a lot of information is not useful, but A, it can get you confused and B, it can help you to waste a lot of time. Limit yourself. Limit yourself. I will only read two hours worth of ebooks every week or four or six depending on if you're a student or if you're unemployed and you might have a bit more time. Personally, I have a job that cost me 50 to 70 hours a week. If I start reading 16 hours worth of ebooks, yeah, you can imagine where my week goes and my sleep. Absolutely nowhere, I won't have a life anymore. So take this as a rule, read stuff about time management and apply it to this. Apply it to learning flirting skills. There are better things to do than just dabbling around on the internet.


Hello friends, Osiris here in a brand new mystery gift Pokemon has just dropped in Pokemon Scholar and Violet. We're going to cover all of the details so you don't miss this one when it's running in today's video. So very quick one today in celebrations of the brand new Pokemon Horizons anime. We have another mystery gift dropping in Pokemon Scholar and Violet and this one is one that you're probably not going to want to miss. It is for Lycos, Brigitte. So to get this in your game, you're going to need to come over to your mystery gift to make sure you are connected to the internet and then get with code or password. The code is going to be Lyco with 906, which is Sprigatito's Pokédex number. And once you put this in, as always, the code will be on the screen and this event is running until the 30th of September 2024. So you have a little bit of time to take advantage of this mystery gift while it's running. But like I say, it is for Lycos Sprigatito and it will also have the partner ribbon with it. So that is a very nice little ribbon to get with this Pokemon and a decent mystery gift as well, especially if you started Scholar and Violet and you picked one of the other starter Pokemon. You've now got the opportunity to get yourself a Sprigatito without having to trade with anyone online. It comes in at level five. Like I say, it is in a Pokéball. That's the original training in Lyco grass terra type. And it has that nice partner ribbon. So when you send it out, it will be Lycos Sprigatito, which is a bit like the Pokemon that you get in the Blueberry Academy Club Room. So there we go. That is everything for today's video, like I say, a very quick one, but definitely one that you're not going to want to miss. Of course, as well, we had a mystery gift earlier in the week. For a po-mot in relation to a brand new single that was released, that video will be linked down in the description as well. If you missed that one, make sure you grab that while you've got the opportunity. Alongside this one, we've had two mystery gift Pokemon this week. And of course, we do have another one coming up for EUIC in a few weeks time when that event goes live. So keep an eye out for that one. Any updates and I hope you've enjoyed today's video, friends. If you have, do drop a like on the video and do consider subscribing to the channel to stay up to date with all of our Pokemon, Scholar and Violet content. Thank you so much for tuning in. Have fun with these mystery gifts. And I'll see you all in another video very soon. So until then, take care of yourselves and bye bye.


Muscles are composed of cells and proteins which are constantly being broken down and rebuilt. When there is too much breakdown or not enough rebuilding, muscle atrophy occurs. This process is caused by various factors, including disease, age, and lack of exercise. Mechanisms involved in muscle atrophy include proteolysis, breakdown of proteins, autophagy, self-eating, and apoptosis, cell death. These processes are regulated by signalling pathways that are influenced by mechanical stress, physical activity, and nutrition. Understanding how these pathways work could lead to new treatments for muscle atrophy in metabolic and neuromuscular diseases. This article was authored by Paolo Bonaldo and Marcos Andrii.


Tom here from Lauren systems and bit warden has added a really cool new feature that I'm pretty excited about called bit warden send Now I'm a big fan of bit warden We've been using it here at the office for a while as for password management. It's been a wonderful tool I'll leave links to my full more in-depth reviews of bit warden now of note We do privately host bit warden behind a VPN, which means this particular Feature will have to log into the public site to do but that's okay Because the idea of this is be able to send someone a password or a file and get it to them securely and an encrypted manner Even when they don't have bit warden on the receiving end now quick prerequisite for this You need a bit warden account to send to do this, but you don't need it on the receiving end So whoever you're sending to they don't have to do anything more than be able to click a link And they were able to get to the data that you send them and we'll give a demo of how this works now It does allow for free bit warden accounts You can sign up for free for bit warden just register your email address and with the free account You can send text if you want to send a file that does require a pay bit warden account So it's only prerequisites for this and a lot of times people just want to be able to get passwords over or some Piece of text that they want to get to an end user Maybe some rather sensitive instructions and you don't want those necessarily just going out over an email You know you want to send these in an encrypted manner now This is bit warden send, but I will mention and Chris coincidentally Bitwarden send was coming out and I want to do a video on it But Chris also did a video on password pusher works very much the same way and has a self-hosted option So check out Chris's video on press password pusher. I also am aware of and have used yo pass I just like the name better It's kind of another project very similar to password pusher and I'll leave links to it because it's definitely pretty cool And once again, it's another open-source project that you can build and host yourself I really like the fact that bit warden is a professional company that we do pay for and use the licenses to use it commercially and Having a more professional way to send this than using yo pass although. I love the name Feels a little bit more integrated Of course, you can integrate those other tools into your own domain Which may be a good idea too if you're looking at doing that, but The simplicity of doing it bit warden. Let's show you how it works. It's actually really easy So I'm logged into my bit more and account. There's a new button up here It just says send and we create a send and we'll create a text one first. So we're gonna call it my text well test send Call it whatever you want Here is the text to keep secret So don't share that with anyone when accessing this send hide the text by default Yes, that way they got a you know, not just click the link but actually open it Copy the link of this send to my clipboard upon save. Yes, absolutely Deletion how long should this last or expire now if you change this to Custom or you want to only have this last or delete after so many days, but expire never You can also say expire now or if set accesses and will expire Which means it will still exist as a send but it won't have a valid link anymore. You'll have to regenerate the link I like that they separated these things out versus deleted versus expiration a lot of times It's a timely thing. So you're usually going I need to get this to the person and we'll say I need this to last a day on either side Just delete this or we can just say never on expire because it's gonna delete anyways How many times can it be accessed? Get it right the first time is something probably important So we're gonna put maximum ask access count of one I think this is also important because when you're sending someone something and you only want that someone to get it Once they get it, you don't want them to get it again. So save it and if they don't well They'll contact you again, but this is better than not having a maximum where anyone else who finds that link and then Consequently, maybe gets that password that you put on there is You know able to get it again. So we'll make a password of one two three four five six So I like the fact that you can add an extra password on there Don't share this with anyone Whoops with anyone. There we go So there's some note that they'll get and then we hit save Now that copied it right to my clipboard, but then I can always go back over here and I can remove the password from it or copy this on link again So I'm able to edit it I'm able to go back in here and see it myself because I'm logged into my bit warden account There's that send link. So let's go ahead and open up an incognito window and The person, you know, you email them this link they get it Bitward and send. All right, they got to put a password in There we go one two three four five six The seven toggle okay toggle. All right. I'm ready. No one's looking over my shoulder. No one's shoulder sure from it All right, we toggle visibility Here is the text to keep secret copy that value They can just copy it and now they have that piece of information is simple as that. So let's go ahead and Take the send and we'll close this window Let's try in a Copy send link again It's dead. We only allowed it to be accessed once now the access count is zero so to speak because it's now counted down and says nope someone access that data You can't send it and if we go here to our test then the data is still here If I wanted to revive it for any reason I can but we have a deletion date of when it's going to Automatically go away. I got the data to them. They said they got it I can just delete it out of here or you know Re-initiated again because somewhere somewhere in between someone clicked on it and then had the password Which of course should just raise a whole lot of suspicion All right now Let's go ahead and show you what it looks like when you send a file and like I said to send a file you do need Paid version of it word File test choose file this pfsense console dot sh document seems suspicious. Maybe that's our proof of concept for something All right, we'll go here deletion date one hour you got one hour to get this maximum access count Same thing we'll do one and we'll put a password on Same password one two three four five six here is that file you wanted and Oh copy link to the clipboard saves me the trouble save All right send created open up any tag Nito window drop that link in One two three four five six download Yeah, yeah, I know it could harm my computer it says so we have now downloaded that file if we Open up another incognito window and same thing because we only allowed at once can't open it again So it works much the same way so now we've been able to get that file the person was able to access it and Done it's as simple as that current access count zero now If you set this it'll tell you like what the number of access count left is the only extra thing I think it'd be kind of cool and maybe let add this in the future dates I didn't see it in here would be a way to let me know what IP address had accessed it Maybe some you know browser information IP address of when I sent this out, you know who actually touched it I think that'd be kind of a cool So if someone's listening over there or maybe I'll go do a poll request and say hey, you know be cool If you added this feature That's the only thing I really see that it's kind of missing right now But other than that I do like that it's just natively integrated in bit warden And I know a lot more people have been migrating to it or at least based on the comments I'd say a lot more people are migrating a bit warden it seems to become rather popular and I still really like the product and this is just one more little piece of innovation that they added that well, you know I'm definitely excited for because sending people passwords is Not the most fun part of it but certainly a very necessary part of it passwords Some instructions some piece of information and keeping that information private the entire way and not sending things in email because I look at email is just mailing a letter like anyone can see through it. It's very transparent I know the the encryption layers are Existing an email in terms of the transport layer from getting here to here But there's still a lot of visibility in email and it's not the best methodology It was never really designed to be encrypted So being able to send an email with a link like this in there makes a whole lot more sense and So definitely welcome tool and go ahead and check it out It's just free add on a bit warden that you don't have to do anything for just log in.
