An empty car does not drive. And an empty lawn mower does not mow. I'll get to what that means in a second. This past month, I got to spend a wonderful month in Antigua Guatemala with my wife. And I was speaking at a conference there, and I met this very tall Spaniard. And he looked down at me, and we did our kind of normal networking introductions. And he said, hello, I am one. And I do this, and this, and this, and this. And I am happy. And then I did my whole spiel in graduate school. I work at the MIT Media Lab and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. And I stopped, and he goes, but are you happy? And he stared deep into my eyes. And I just kind of stopped, and I said, yes. Yes, I am.  And Jerry Colonna is one of those people. He was a venture capitalist for years. And then he had a moment where he decided, you know what? My tank is not full. I am not fulfilled. And so first he had to focus on himself, and then he took what he learned about himself. And from that journey of asking himself the toughest questions, and now he is traveling the world, writing and speaking to help other people do that for themselves. Please welcome Jerry. I told Mark that that was wonderful. I didn't expect that. And we were joking before about doing things unexpectedly. And if you see that photo, you'll know that I really can't stand shoes. I don't know where I'm going to keep my tea. Hi, selfie. No, just kidding. I was in Boulder yesterday, which is where I live. And I got in around 1.45 last night, so I'm a little tired. Here's a couple of things you should know about me. First is that I'm a Buddhist. And I may make reference to that. The second is that I'm from Brooklyn. Brooklyn in the house? Anybody? One, yeah. And so I will probably curse. And I've been warned that if I curse, it's going to screw up the, is that a curse? It's going to mess up the MIT YouTube channel. So I may not get the views that we want or whatever. But usually my response to, I may curse. Usually my response is, and if you don't like it, F-U. It goes better when I don't have to do the F, you know what I mean? So you can imagine. Something else I want to tell you. These are my grandparents. Dominic Ido came to the United States in the 1920s, early 1920s. He's an entrepreneur. He's a nice man in Brooklyn. The United States, if you recall, had been at war with Italy. People forget this. They brought his wife, Nicoletta. These are his children. That's my mom. She died in September. Four of his sons served in the United States Army. Two of them won the Purple Heart. One won the Purple Heart being injured as a medic on the fields in Italy. I am a proud grandson of immigrants. Those are some things to know about me. So as Mark says, I do tend to look people in the eye. I have a little bit of a reputation. And that reputation is that I kind of make people cry. And you're crying already. So here's the question for you. Thank you for that. How are you? No, really. How are you? How often do we blow past this question? We do this. Hi, how are you? Hi, how are you? How, how are you? I'm driving the video people crazy right now. We actually don't take the time to check in. We actually don't take the time to care. Not about each other, not about ourselves. How are you? Those facing transitions might be excited, super excited. Yay! I'm graduating soon. Or you might be terrified. Feel that? She's like, I'm not going to look this guy in the eye.  No way. Or are you exhausted? Think about the pace of our lives. Think about the way in which we live our lives. Or are you perhaps lost? Lost by David Wagner. Stand still. The trees ahead and bushes ahead of you are not lost. Wherever you are is called here, and you must treat it as a powerful stranger. Must ask it permission to know it and be known. The forest breathes. Listen, it answers, I have made this place around you. If you leave it, you may come back again, saying here, no two trees are the same to Raven. No two branches are the same to Wren.   Stand still. The forest knows where you are. You must let it find you. I'm going to tell you a story. There's an old Chinese story about a potter who spends his entire life perfecting the most exquisite glaze imaginable. And at the end of his life, deciding that his meaningful life is over, he walked into the kiln and disappears into the fire. The next day, the potter's assistants open up the kiln and take out the pots. And they're covered with the most exquisitely as imaginable. But the potter has disappeared. And that's the story.  Is it a good story? Is it a bad story? The entrepreneurs get it. The entrepreneurs in the room will sit there and say, I get it. I will work ceaselessly, endlessly, because I'm going to build the next Airbnb, or I'm going to save people back home, or I'm going to create meaning and purpose. But it's not just the entrepreneurs in the room who get it. I'm looking at my fellow ex-investors and current investors. We get it. We get it. I want the most exquisitely as imaginable.  I'll tell you about my journey into the kiln. Some of you may know that I was an investor in the 1990s, back when you were not even born. No, just kidding. Early 2000s. There's a guy named Fred Wilson. You may have heard of him. He's an old friend of mine. He and I started a venture firm in the 1990s, 1996, called Flatiron Partners. One of our investees was a guy, Steve Kane. We invested in Gamesville in 1999, tagline of which was Wasting Your Time since 1996. Largest bingo site on the web. Made a lot of money with that guy. I was, as New York Magazine called me, a prince of New York. Fred and I, not true, by the way, Fred and I single-handedly revitalized the New York tech community. Bullshit, but that's OK. Felt good. One day, I flew from New York to California, had a board meeting, got on a plane, flew back to New York. You know what I'm talking about. Because I could do that. I was a prince. I was a master of the universe. I walked into the house, and my now 24-year-old daughter, Emma, was at the top of the stairs. I looked up at her, and I fainted. And before I went down, I heard her say, mommy, mommy, daddy's dead. Mommy, mommy, daddy's dead. She didn't understand about exquisite glazes, or her dad, a master of the universe. She just knew daddy died. I kind of ignored the signs and continued on my way. Mark, I'm going to tell that story. February 2, 2002, Flatiron is closed down. I'm in the midst of a depression, but I'm ignoring it. I walk out of an Olympic bid committee meeting, because I was running the Olympic bid effort for New York.   Master of the universe, King of New York, all of the dreams, 38, hollow inside. I called my therapist who said, get in a cab, come out, and see me. And as I said to Mark before, it was either the lowest point in my life, or actually it was both, the lowest point in my life, and the beginning of my coming out. And if you will, learning to stand still. I love this slide. I'm in such good company. I went to see my therapist. And I said, I don't understand what's going on. And she said, what's it going to take? What's it going to take for you to recover your life? What's it going to take for you to slow down? And I said, Bill Gates. And she went, what? Nice Jewish lady from Long Island, what? And I admitted to myself that that was my goal, because then I would be safe. You know that feeling? Unassailable, impregnable. When I heard myself say these words, I said, what the F, sorry, what the F are you thinking? What are you doing with your life? And I started exploring. And I came across the Gnostic gospels, the Kool gospels, the revolutionary gospels. And I realized that if I did not bring forth what was in me, what was in me was going to destroy me. Who am I? What am I? Where does this intersection of who I am and what I do for a living meet to define who I am? And my experience in this meat bag, known as Jerry. Discovering what is in you is difficult. And my company, I came up with this formula years ago, practical skills. So I coach people, I coach entrepreneurs, I coach investors, I coach people, I help them be better leaders. You wanna know the secret? I get them in touch with being human, because better humans make better leaders. They all come in looking for practical skills. How the hell do I do my job? Or how do I have work-life balance? And I send them into this, radical self-inquiry.  Radical, because the process of self-deception, if I only have enough money, then I will feel safe. Right? Become skillfully and compassionately stripped away so that there's no mask anymore. That's putting it mildly. To really look deeply in the mirror is scary. I've been there. I am there. We are not trained to do this. Remember the words of Jesus? Pema Chodron, one of my Buddhist teachers says, the essence of bravery is being without self-deception. Would that all of our leaders, political and otherwise, were able to be without self-deception? To see ourselves as we truly are, mess and loveliness and gorgeousness and joy and happiness and sadness and all of it in one fell gorgeous meatbag known as you. To see and accept that and lead from that place and go forth from that place. Recently, we run these multi-day boot camps for entrepreneurs, co-founders and investors and we're gonna throw up a few quotes today from some of the folks who came to our most recent camp. And these are all things that they wrote on their Medium posts. So I'm allowed to quote from them. Jake wrote, the fear of not being a great investor has caused me to act like my image of a great investor rather than being entirely authentic to myself. I'm so afraid of failing as an investor that I'm gonna pretend to be someone I am not. Been there, done that, doesn't work. Been there, done that, doesn't work. My friend Brad Feld once said to me, early on in my career, stop measuring yourself against other people. Just be the investor that you were meant to be. When I ask myself about my purpose in becoming a VC, I have a crystal clear vision. But it doesn't track to my purpose. It's who I am. The process of inquiring within, I came to understand, requires us as the poet says to stand still. Slow down, but standing still is scary. Too often we conflate motion with meaning. You know how busy I am? I'm so busy that I can get on a plane and fly to California and fly back in a day. Superman, huh? Why? What are you doing? Why? Why are you walking into the fire? I don't care if you're walking into the fire. Enjoy walking into the fire. Know why you're walking into the fire. Are you doing it to run away from something? Are you doing it to make yourself safe? I've often said that the sole cause of man's unhappiness is that he does not know how to stay quietly in his room. Because who do we encounter when we sit quietly in the room? Ourselves, maybe the scariest person around. But standing still, sitting quietly in your room, creates freedom. Victor Franco, great psychoanalyst from the mid 20th century who survived Auschwitz, asked the question, why did some give up? And why did some survive? Purpose and meaning that is deeply connected. How do we find that? Between stimulus and response, there is a space in that space lies our freedom and our power to choose our response. You wanna walk into the kiln? Be my guest. Choose it. Understand the consequences for your six-year-old daughter. Understand the consequences for your partner who may be putting their life on hold for your dream or the parts of yourselves that are denied as you build up other parts of yourselves. Choose. Don't let your unconscious choose for you. Standing still allows us to find our way. Fred, who was at our boot camp, wrote, it's not until I suffered that I started to be able to make some progress. And it's not until I realized how much I made others suffer, radical self-inquiry, that I was able to make some change. It's not until I started giving back that I found a deeper resilience inside of me. The key for me was not to ignore my dark aside but to lean into the discomfort. For the VCs, for the investors in the room, this, these are your peers. Dave Mao, for the first time in a long time, I am at peace. I know what I need to do. And more importantly, I know why I'm doing it. Everything else is just execution. When we stand still, when we sit quietly, we come to understand what a forest is saying to us. We come to understand who we are. And we bring forth that which will save us, heart, purpose, meaning, resiliency, a sense of connectedness to each other into something greater than the meatbag known as me. Disappear into the fire, be my guest, just come out of it. And then learn to sit quietly. Thank you. It's the first time I've done that talk and so I have five minutes extra, so I don't know. How's that for timing?  I didn't, I never did this talk before. No, thank you so much, that was wonderful. Thank you. Wonderful chair, thank you. I'm gonna get my shoes. Another round of applause for Jerry, please. Thank you.

Astro-Sweet, I'm concerned regarding Pierre Pallavi, a past connection with WF. Yeah, yeah, for sure. I can tell you, for me in Canada, I'm going to be voting Maxine Bernier, the People's Party of Canada, because the People's Party of Canada, Maxine Bernier, got arrested to keep our freedom in Canada. He got arrested for those of us that were being demonized, that were being persecuted. He stood up against tyranny. He has my vote for life. Okay, that's it. I know there are certain people, you will almost have no choice but to vote for Pierre Pallavi, because it's a riding where it might get sketchy. It's going to be close between the NDP, the Liberals, they're the same shit, and the conservatives. In that case, sure, I guess you could vote for the conservatives, but for me, Maxine Bernier, I'm a loyal. When someone has my trust, my loyalty, they have it for life until they break it. And Maxine Bernier proved to me and to anyone that understands anything about liberty, about bodily autonomy, about informed consent, about the Nuremberg Code, about human rights, Maxine Bernier is your representative. There is no one else in Canada, right? That's the way I see it. Go purple, astrosweet.


Hello everybody! In this video, I'll tell you about the 10 functions on VLC Player that you never knew before, but which will be useful for anyone. VLC might be the most popular open-source media player – easy, convenient, and powerful. However, it's got so many functions that we don't use because we just don't know about them. They include converting video files, taking snapshots, placing watermarks, desktop recording, and many others. You will find the download link to the official website of this free player in the description. Dear friends, if you need to recover deleted data, use utilities by Hetman Software. Follow the link in the description to visit our website, download a utility for free, and install it. Then start disk analysis. When the process is over, it will show the files available for recovery, and you will be able to bring them back. Our blog features quick guides to solve all kinds of problems faced by Windows users. Our channel and blog offer solutions for any issues from installing the operating system to remote administration and connecting mobile devices. Our specialists will be glad to answer your questions in comments to videos and articles. Let's begin with video file converting. Using VLC Media Player, you can change video format or converter file with the player's integrated codecs. To do it, go to Media, Convert, Save, click Add, and choose the video to convert. You can convert, save. In the following window, you can choose a set converting profile as a combination of a contact and file format, or even a target resource, such as iPod, YouTube, or Android. You can also change the selected profile by clicking a certain button and set up one of the available video formats and an audio contact. Choose the name and folder where to save the target file. And click Start. The converting process starts, and you can see its status in the player's bar below. Here is the converted file. In our channel, you can also find a video about converting audio or video files with Movavi Converter. You will find the link in the description. The second function is playing or downloading online videos. We already got used to watching online videos in a browser. But what if it's not too comfortable to watch it online because the video is lagging in the browser, or if you need to save the video to your computer, for example from YouTube? By the way, you can visit our channel to watch a video about solving the lagging problem in your internet browser. I will give the link in the description. To watch videos online in VLC Media Player, choose Media, open Network Stream, insert the video link here, and click Play. The online video will start playing. To save it, click on the arrow of the Play button and choose Convert. Choose the name and folder where to save the target file. Click Start, and the video will be downloaded to the chosen folder. With VLC, you can record the video that's playing and take a screenshot. To do it, play the video, select View, Advanced Controls. As a result, additional buttons will appear, including the one called Record. After the file stops playing, or you click the Stop button, the recorded file will be saved to the video folder. It will have the name VLC Record date and time when it was created. The resolution will be the same as in the source file. One of the Advanced Controls elements is the Take a Snapshot button. Just click on it at any moment when the video is playing, and the frame will be saved to the Pictures folder. The first function is recording the desktop screen. To record everything that's going on in your desktop with VLC media player, go to Media, Convert, Save, go to the tab Capture Device, and select Desktop in the Capture Mode menu. Set the capture frame rate you'd like to have, for example 30 or 60 frames per second. And click Convert, Save. Specify the name and folder where to save the target file. If you want, you can change the recording options as well. When you click the Start button, everything that's happening in your desktop will be recorded. The process will stop and the data will be saved to the file you have chosen after you click Stop in the Player's Interface. This function also lets you record videos from a web camera. To do it, in the Convert, Save menu, set a direct show as the capture device. Select your web camera as a video device, and the microphone as an audio device. Here is the fifth function. VLC can help you to convert a DVD, Blu-ray or audio CD into a digital format. In other words, to repeat it. To do it, insert into the DVD drive the disk you want to convert. Go to Media, Convert, Save, go to the Disk tab, select the format of the converted disk and specify the disk letter. As that, click Convert, Save and choose the codec and format for the files you are saving. The menu also features audio profiles such as mp3, Flac and CD. Click Start. By the way, you can visit our channel and watch a video about recording a CD, DVD as well as an audio CD or vice versa or copying their contents to your computer. Follow the link in the description. To put a watermark on your video, go to the Tools, Effects and Filters. Video Effects – Overlay Enable the Add Logo option. Set its transparency as well as top and left margins. Remember that the logo shouldn't be too large, otherwise it will cover the entire screen. The optimal size is up to 100 by 100 pixels. It was the sixth function. Now let's move to number 7. With VLC Media Player, you can put a bookmark somewhere in a video file to go back to or to continue watching it from a marked position at any convenient time. To put a bookmark, play a video file and go to the menu Playback, Custom Bookmarks, Manage. The Edit Bookmark window will open.

Right-click in the Player window and select Subtitle, Add Subtitle File. Select the Subtitle file. The player supports subtitles in the SRT format. Open it.

The question I had was about, you know, the hadith that I mentioned that Allah Subh'anaHu Wa'Ta'Ala is, he loves beauty, he is beauty, and then it's kind of a conflict or a conflicting message that we shouldn't emphasize our beauty. So how can we balance that? And as my slides, as I referenced in the slides, the point of, you know, be focusing or, you know, the pursuit of beautification should really be about the inward, right? We want to focus on inward beautification. And that doesn't mean, of course, that we don't take care of our exterior. The prophet said it was known, if you study Hasidah, for always looking the best. Even though he had very little, he took great care to present himself in the most beautiful way. That, you know, meant oiling, using oil, using perfume, always having, you know, again, just the best presentation. Hygiene, of course, where did we learn how to do all of these things was from His Sunnah. So all of that is to say that, yes, we're permitted to spend time beautifying ourselves. And even within our marriages, we should, right? There should be a balanced, reciprocated thing between both the husband and the wife. However, if that's all you do, or that's your primary focus, and you place so much of your value on beautification, this is where there's a problem.  You should be at the gym every day. And you see a lot of women, I was telling them, actually the other day, my son and I drove to the supermarket early because we had to get milk. And it was after fudger.  So when we left to go get milk, it was still, you know, dark outside, relatively somewhat. And so I just, I saw a bunch of people on the street running. There were a lot of activity at this time, right? It's a very blessed time, fudger. But you could see that a lot of the people were up doing what? They were out there focusing on, right, the exterior. So they were doing their exercise. And then I saw one guy, he was putting something in the trunk of his car. And when he came out, he looked like he had just come from the gym. You know, he just kind of had that gym look. He looked sweaty, red. So I was like, he must have just come from the gym.  They will go out of their way to go to the gym. They'll wake up from their sleep to do that. They'll wake up from their sleep, right? To straighten their hair for one to two hours. I know people who do this. It is their morning beauty routine to wake up super early so they can get their hot, whatever, you know, their ironing. What is it called? I totally forgot now. Their flat iron. Thank you. Their flat iron ready. And then get their makeup ready. You gotta, of course, shower and do all that. But there's all this beautification, but they won't pray. They don't pray to Allah. They just don't pray. So this is where we have it backwards. So the point, again, is we are permitted to beautify ourselves, but priority has to be inward beautification, character development, making sure we're ridding ourselves of the diseases of the heart, making sure we're learning and studying the seerah of the proxies and the son of the proxies and implementing that, being people who embody as much as we are able to, the Quranic, you know, the Quran in our words, in our actions. That's real beautification.


Eight years after losing her husband, mom sees daughter staring at stranger in pizza place. She turned to look at her daughter and saw that she was beaming. When she looked up and saw what the little girl was staring at, she understood. Her daughter always had a noticeable change in behavior when. She encountered people like that. But this time was different. This time, the little girl did something her mother never expected. And her actions the day sparked a series of events that would change both their lives. But this little girl's incredible story actually began more than eight years earlier, before she was even born. Her mother, Mimi Jimenez, was a police officer in Perth Amboy, New Jersey. She was married to a fellow officer, Thomas Raji. Having been in the force for 10 years, Thomas knew how dangerous police work could be. He encouraged Mimi to leave the police department, but she was a strong-willed woman. Then one day, everything changed. Mimi had two children, Devon and Gabriel, from a previous relationship. Thomas loved them and cared for them like they were his own. But he couldn't contain his elation when in 2008, he found out Mimi was pregnant. With their first child. Again, they discussed the possibility of Mimi leaving the force. But it was still early in the pregnancy so no decision was made, until one day in August when fate forced their hand. On August 22, Thomas and his partner were assigned to transport a prisoner to the Middlesex County Jail. While they were en route one near Woodbridge, a drunk driver ran two red lights and hit the patrol car at the intersection with green. Street. Mimi, who was two months pregnant at the time, lost her 31-year-old husband. The incident forced her to find a safer job now that she was a single mother, but her admiration for police work never vanished, and she passed it on. Fast forward eight years, Mimi's baby was now a beautiful and vibrant little girl named Mikayla. Even though she never met her father, Mimi made sure her daughter knew all about him, and the sacrifices he made for his community and his family. Knowing that her mother had also been a police officer, Mikayla had a special place in her heart for the men and women in blue. It was heartwarming to see, but Mimi never thought it would lead to a life-changing experience. One day, Mimi and Mikayla were having dinner at Villa Borghese, an Italian restaurant in nearby Helmetta. Mikayla loved pizza, so it was always a special treat when her mother took her out to eat some. They were in the middle of their meal when the door to the restaurant opened and someone walked it. Mimi didn't pay it much mind until Mikayla loudly said hello and vigorously waved in the direction of the newcomer. Mimi turned toward the entrance. The man who had just walked in was Joseph Quinn, an officer from the Jamesburg Police Department who had just finished his shift. When he saw the little girl waving at him, he smiled and returned the greeting. Then he walked over to a table and ordered his dinner. When he was done, he made his way to the register and asked the cashier for his check. That's when he got some unexpected news. The cashier told Officer Quinn that someone had already taken care of his tab. He was surprised and delighted at the same time. It was not unheard of for someone to pay for a police. Officers drinks or food to thank them for their service. But whenever it happened, it was always welcome and appreciated. Officer Quinn thanked the cashier and left. But that act of kindness stayed with him. When Officer Quinn went back to the station the next day, he kept thinking about the stranger who had paid his check the night before. Curiosity got the best of him and he decided to do some investigative work to find out who did it. He made some calls, including the cashier at Villa Borgesa, until he finally discovered the identity of the Good Samaritan. The person who had paid Officer Quinn's tab was none other than 8-year-old Michaela Raji. After the officer had come into the restaurant and sat at his table, she couldn't take her eyes off him. Eventually, she leaned over and whispered to her mother, saying she insisted on buying the officer's food. Mimi obliged and walked up to the cashier, telling him she wanted to do it anonymously. So she was surprised when the Jamesburg PD reached out to her. The Jamesburg Police Department wrote a post on their Facebook page where they shared the tale of how Michaela came to pay for Officer Quinn's tab. Thank you for buying PTL, Quinn's Dinner, it read. You have an open invitation to stop by. Headquarters whenever you want, and this time dinner is on us. Your dad would be so proud of the person you are. If you ever need us for anything, you can guarantee we will be there for you. The story soon went viral. After the Facebook post was shared more than a thousand times, several news outlets reached out to both the Rajis and the Jamesburg PD for interviews. YouTube channel Chasing News met up with Mimi, Michaela, and Officer Quinn at the Raji's house, where. Michaela explained the reasoning behind her good deed. They work hard and they deserve some respect and for people to do nice things, she said. The Jamesburg police officers were so touched, they decided to do something nice for her in turn. The Jamesburg Police Department invited Michaela to visit them at their headquarters, then took her back to Villa Borgesa where they made good on their promise to treat her to dinner. She has a great deal of pride that her mom and dad were. Both police officers said Jamesburg Police Chief James Kraparata. She supports the police and feels that we're a part of her life. Later, they invited her to be their special guest at the Memorial Day Parade. But that's not all they did for her. The Jamesburg PD set up a GoFundMe page to help pay for Michaela's education. The members of the Jamesburg Police Department would like to try and help raise funds for Michaela's future education, the page says. Michaela is a wonderful kid with a big heart who loves to do kind things for people. So far, they have raised $15,000 of their $20,000 goal. And that's not the only way in which Michaela's life has changed. A few months later, Michaela and her mom received the surprise of their lives. The New York Yankees had invited Michaela to throw the first pitch at a home game. Being huge Yankees fans, the Raji family was stoked. I can't. Thank you enough for giving her a day in New York that she will never forget, wrote Mimi on Facebook.


So in this video I want to talk about helical gears. Helical gears of course are very similar to spur gears. The main difference being that we now have a helix angle to consider. And this helix angle is right here. It's the angle that represents how skewed from a perpendicular axis the gear teeth are going to be. And of course you could think of a spur gear as effectively a helical gear with a helix angle of zero degrees. And basically everything that we're doing here would still apply. So because of this helix angle we have to modify some of our variables that we've talked about before with spur gears. So in spur gears we had you know for example the pitch P which was basically how many teeth we counted as we went around the gear. Well that number or that that distance excuse me is slightly different if I rotate my view and look at it from you can see this cross section that's cut here. N N cross section. And look at my gear teeth from that direction. That difference is going to be a little bit excuse me that distance is going to be a little bit different than it was from the other view from the RR cross section view. And the angle of the tooth is also going to be a little bit different there. So this is you know very similar to how we look at threaded rods or screw pitches when we talk about the angle being rotated slightly depending on how we cut that cross section. So the relation between these two things is similar to what we've done before it's purely geometry. So when we're trying to make this more clear that that's a lower case P the new pitch there is going to be related to the old one by that angle of the helix. And so we can write that that way. The new angle of the tooth phi sub n is going to be related to the old angle phi again by that helix angle. Probably of most interest to us is the diametral pitch capital P trying to make that as clear as possible which is related by the inverse of cosine psi. So now we have that and finally the module for SI unit systems related like that. We can still write you know gear diameter in terms of number of teeth and diametral pitch and just making the modification for the helix configuration by substituting in and similarly when we're talking about SI units something like that. Now when it comes to force analysis then for the gear everything looks again very similar to a spur gear but now if I have my crudely drawn helical gear mounted on a shaft I have my transmission force F sub t which isn't really changed. I still have a radial force or a gear separating force that's much the same but now due to this helix angle I also have a force acting in the axial direction which is going to be parallel to the direction of the shaft. So we need to take all those things into account and oftentimes we write things in terms of the transmission force again because the transmission force is related to the the power that's transmitted through the gear train so that's usually a useful quantity for us to know and we can write that axial force in terms of the transmission force as well. There is one more force that we might be interested in and that is the a force that would be normal to the direction of the tooth. So remember the teeth go kind of like this rather than straight across and this F sub t then is coming in at an angle but if we instead put a force on here we could call that F sub b and if I write that out basically like a like a bending force we get something like that F sub t over the cosine of psi. Now when it comes to stress analysis for the helical gear nothing much has really changed from our spur gear analysis it's the equation becomes only slightly different so if I write my stress equation it's going to look very similar to our spur gear equation however you will notice one difference here and that is that there's this factor of 0.93 out in front of the mounting factor and that's really just taking into account that helical gears are a little bit less sensitive to mounting accuracy than a spur gear is. The only other main difference then is in the geometry factor J which we now read from figure 16.8 in the textbook rather than the figure from the spur gear chapter and so it takes into account the helical angle or helix angle and kind of just adjust those those values accordingly. All right thanks.


Hey, this is Brett, and this 2016 Chevy Silverado 2500 Crew Cab Short Box LT is stock number 13387Z. I am here at Summit Automotive in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin, you're new and used heavy-duty truck headquarters. This 2016 Chevy Silverado has the 6.6 liter Duramax diesel engine. It's the LML engine. It's paired up with the Allison heavy-duty 6-speed automatic transmission. This truck has been fully-safetyed and inspected by our service shop, has a fresh oil and filter change, all the fluids have been checked and topped off, and this truck is 100% ready to go. I'm going to go all the way around in this video inside underneath, start it up, and take a look under the hood to give you the most accurate representation of the vehicle possible. Black clear coat is the color, and I shoot all my videos in 4K. So if you have HD capabilities, turn them on now, because it is your best way to check out the quality, condition, options, and cleanliness of the truck before seeing it in person. As you go down the driver's side, the box is in very nice shape. Doors and cab are all in nice condition as well. I didn't see any major dents or dings on there. The front fender is in great shape. And if you like the video, you can subscribe to my YouTube channel, which is youtube.com slash summit auto. Click the bell notifications and you'll get updates on the videos I do each and every day. This one comes with 20-inch painted XT series alloy wheels, and it has Nitto Trail Grappler LT29560R20 tires. These tires have right around half the tread left on them. Frame and underbody is exceptionally clean on this truck. This is a one-owner, clean title history, clean car facts out of Georgia. Rough country suspension lift kit on it as well. And the front bumper is in excellent shape. I didn't see any major dents or dings on there. It does have the front bumper parking sensors, factory fog lights, and the projector lamp headlamps. Now I think this might be a midnight edition. I'm not 100% sure, but it does have the painted bumpers, the blacked out Chevy bow tie on it. Hoods in really nice condition. I didn't see any dents or dings on the front fender. On this side and the passenger side front wheel is in excellent shape as well. As you go down this side of this 2016 Chevy Silverado, take note of how clean that body is, how reflective and mirror like that paint is. I take these HD videos so if you are far away or even if you're close by and you just cannot make the trip down, but you're still interested in purchasing the vehicle, you can see the truck, hear the truck, and have confidence in the vehicle that you're looking at. Before you even get here, so when you do get here, there's absolutely no surprises. You can make a smart and informed buying decision from wherever you're at. If this video helps you make that buying decision, let your salesman know that you saw the video, it was helpful and that Brett sent you. Back wheel is in nice shape. Back tires actually have, looks like 60% of the tread left on them. Frame and underbody once again, you can see just how nice and clean that is. This thing has been undercoded, so even though it's from Georgia, it's been undercoded as well. Georgia is always a great place to get used trucks from. Very little to no corrosion hardly ever on those vehicles. Coming around to the back, rear bumpers in great shape. Back up parking sensors, rear bumper steps, full towing package, which includes a receiver hitch four pin and seven pin wiring. And the tailgate is in excellent condition as well.  Get a very nice spray and bed liner, LED bed lights, and a toolbox back here as well. That bed liner goes onto the tailgate, which is nice. And that shuts nice and solidly. Coming around to the back wheel for full disclosure, no major scuffs or scrapes on there, looks really good. And once again, down the rest of the side of the truck, doors all look great. Those have telescopic tow mirrors, built in directional signals, LED side lights. They do telescope out like so and fold in like that.  I'm sorry, seating, 40, 20, 40 split bench seating in the front, no rips or tears on the seats. Seatbelt there. No rips or tears, you get weather tech floor mats, auto headlamps, turned out four wheel drive, and factory brake controller, power windows, locks, and mirrors. Take a quick look at the back seats. They are just as clean as the front seats. No rips or tears back here. Those have the latch, child safety system for any child car seats you may have. Fixed glass rear window with the built in rear defrost. These seats fold up. There is a storage compartment back here, and the carpeting is nice and clean underneath those floor mats. You do get side curtain airbags, and the inside and bottoms of the doors, as you'd expect from a truck from Georgia. All in really nice condition. We'll hop inside, check out the miles, the radio, and everything that this truck has to offer on the interior. You can see that this one has 20,981 miles. You do get a digital speedometer with that Z71 instrument cluster, which is very nice and clean. Comes with the leather wrap steering wheel, Bluetooth and information center controls on the right, cruise controls on the left. And it does have the Allison six speed automatic transmission with the optional tap shift. This one comes with the Chevy MyLink system. You get AM, FM, and Sirius XM radio capabilities. You also get a projection, I'm sorry, this one does not have the projection manager, but you do get all your different apps there as well. CD player, heated seat buttons, dual climate controls. This one does have the stability control. That's for your cargo lamps, also to turn on your LED bed lights and your LED side lights. Parking sensors, downhill assist control, and you get your factory brake controller there as well. This one does have a 12 volt power point and a 110 volt, 150 watt plug-in. Pass under side floor mat and seat are in excellent condition as well. And the headliner is in very nice, clean condition too. You do get map lights on star and SOS buttons in the mirror. We'll start it up and take a look under the hood. Starts right up, no check engine lights or anything like that. I did want to show you the tire and loading information sticker as well as the VIN sticker. Then I'll turn on those cargo lights and all the other lights here. There are those LED side lights on the mirrors there, it's super bright. I would personally like to thank you for checking out the video today and hopefully from this HD video you've been able to verify just how nice and clean this truck is all the way around inside and out. All the lights are working nicely. Under the hood we have the 6.6 liter Duramax diesel engine, LML, 397 horsepower engine base, very clean, runs very smooth. Again this truck has been fully safe and inspected by our service shop as a fresh coil and filter change all the fluid tab unchecked and topped off. There is the emissions sticker and this truck is 100% ready to go.
