Good morning guys, welcome back to another vlog. I haven't vlogged in probably like a week and a half I am so excited to be back vlogging honestly guys I have been super open about how I'm on anxiety meds, and I've been doing that whole thing my emotions have just been like all Over the place and I was filming just like a lot of normal stuff, and then it was my birthday this weekend So I was just trying to relax I think I really needed the weekend off my first birthday since I 16th birthday I haven't vlogged which is crazy, but I did make a little cute Instagram video on my Instagram if you guys haven't checked it out Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday dear Kenzie, happy birthday to you You're too old to do what you do Thank you I know that's cool We need to turn I know, hi Hi Anyways, today's Tuesday I'm kind of getting my life back in order from the weekend But I'm also kind of taking it slow as I mentioned because I'm just not really feeling myself So I am going to be doing things that make me feel myself. I'm gonna be cooking Oh my gosh guys, Midnight Sun, the new Twilight book came out today If you guys didn't know there's a fifth Twilight book The book originally got leaked at the first few chapters or something years ago So then she never released it I'm very excited, we'll talk about it later My groceries were just delivered So I'm actually gonna show you guys my grocery haul for the week and show you guys what I'm eating for the week So it's like what I eat a week kind of thing With all of my groceries that I get And then I'll take you guys through obviously in vlogs and then on Instagram stories and stuff what I'm making I'm just really focusing on doing things that like put me in a great mood and are good for me And cooking is definitely one of those So I'm excited, I'm back on my cooking grind this week Actually I cook this weekend too Oh my gosh So I kind of went crazy this week I have found that when I make forney recipes it's just too much food And I normally have leftovers and whatever But honestly I just need to cook and I'm very excited So as you guys can see I just kind of make a menu each week And then I've been finding a lot of recipes off the Modern Proper That's my favorite place to look for recipes But I'm gonna make a chicken or wal-dorf salad A green goddess pasta salad Which is really nice because pasta salads last for like three days A salmon pan and then stuffed peppers So here is everything that I got Some broccoli, some grilled chicken for the sandwiches Cheese This is actually perfect because it's a salad topping But see honey roasted walnut pieces We have some carrots, chives, way too many chives This is the problem when I shop on an Instagram Like I will never need this many But it's okay Oh well by chives I might green onions Then I have chives There's supposed to be six peppers So I might have to run up to Trader Joe's Because I need to get the green goddess salad dressing anyways Some green olives, quinoa My favorite yogurt My favorite granola, the purely Elizabeth It's so good You guys can also get it on Thrive Market for cheaper I love Thrive Market, not sponsored Soy sauce, black beans, diced tomatoes I did not tell you the last time I had mayonnaise For the wal-dorf salad I needed mayonnaise So I settled for a stir-frying tent We'll see how that goes Some sesame seeds So this is like a zester slash greeter Snap peas, taco seasoning, lemon juice, sesame oil More olive oil I meant for a small assault But you know it is what it is White balsamic vinegar, honey, salmon, ground turkey The peppers, kale, avocado, garlic, ginger, lemon, bananas Grapes, celery My favorite bread Which is the Dave's thin sliced bread Actually it's like Dave's bread in general It's really good for avocado toast Onions I saw, I think Claudia said this in a vlog recently That like being an adult is realizing that you need onions For every single recipe And that's so true Cucumber, blueberry, and yeah That is what I have for the week I will take you guys along in vlogs As well as on my Instagram stories So follow my Instagram if you guys have not already I'm just going to show you guys this right now Because it's right

Okay, it is Tuesday the 6th of April of 2021 and I hope everyone had a good Easter long weekend If you're based in the UK in Europe, if you're in the US, hello and welcome back And before I begin just to say happy birthday to Tim Duggan and it's the big 4-0 today So Tim, I will speak to you shortly in the Amplify Live community But I hope you had a great weekend and many happy returns But getting straight into things what I want to do with the briefing today Is really just get you up to speed and what happened in US markets yesterday Which were open albeit still relatively light volume before then the full reopening of the global Market coming back in today and then just have a quick look at what's in store for the week ahead as well But to get you up to speed then starting off with the close on Wall Street last night Which was a very positive one as you can see here by the plethora of green across the board The only kind of weak spots were energy where oil prices did decline like in yesterday's session We do trade albeit. We have recovered. We did trade below a 58 handle yesterday We're back up towards a 59-32 price at the moment in front month WTI futures But as you can see here really the tech space Outperformed, you know some of the tech giants like Google or Alphabet were up in excessive 4% You might have read of a US Supreme Court ruling that the company did not commit copyright infringements when it used Oracle programming code in its Android Operating system was the chief reason we're underpinned the share price rise in alphabet shares yesterday Facebook moved up to record high for the stock Tesla was up about four point four three percent The first chance for the company to react to their blowout delivery numbers in Q1. They were around 184 185,000 against expectations around 170,000 so much stronger than expected The the rally generally as well coming after some really quite spectacular data starting to come through in the US To get you up to speed I'll go in chronological order if you weren't around on Good Friday Then US electronic trade was open for a shortened session We did see the release of US non-farm payrolls And as you can see here the headline print came out at 916,000 expectations worth of 647,000 for that figure so it was much stronger than expectations And as you can see here puts us back up at a multi-month high from numbers We haven't really printed going back to the summer of last year and then yesterday What did we have we had the ISM non manufacturing PMI the services figure came in at 63.7 against expected 59 so again blowout of forecasts and Experienced the fastest growth on record in March as measures of business activity and orders advanced to new highs as well Main real reason that underpinning this is not really new information to everyone The idea of better weather we've had positive vaccine news for distribution of the drug as well And that subsequently leading to the reopening of the US economy, which is eating to greater US job growth more spending So on and so forth so that idea of This kind of economic boom almost is going to happen in in the coming months starting to materialize somewhat But that does lead dead on to an interesting path or a communication challenge That ultimately will need to be met by the Federal Reserve That's going to be well if we do have this rip roaring recovery Well, then at what point the the Fed start to change their language from this ultra-competitive stance Which they've stuck to despite yields having risen I must say yields in the 10 year have backed off a little bit from kind of up there at 1.75 we're just below the 1.7 level at the moment So equities were really positive yesterday The yield actually declining a little bit just allowing t-notes to come off the floor and the dollar really got hit Which did accelerate boost the their major currency pairs in yesterday's session as the general positive sentiment As I said that the Fed will be interesting the months ahead because ultimately, you know, do they need to pay heed at some point to the idea of That the economy is improving now One speaker that did speak yesterday, I think it was a CMDC interview that I thought was quite interesting was Fez Mester Messler said that better than expected March payroll report with great But a lot more progress was needed to get the economy where it was before the pandemic She added I think we'll need to be very deliberately patient in our approach to monetary policy and really focus in on hitting these goals Where we have monetary policy, I'm thinking that we'll see a very strong second half the year But we're still far from our policy goals Now a couple of things here for one Mester is a non-voting member However, one of the things I would say is that you know, if you know your your FMC members Then Mester here a non-voter so unboldened, but it's one of the most hawkish of the Fed members only probably George and Kaplan more so and That I thought was quite interesting the fact that she's continued to push back some of this economic acceleration that we're seeing Ultimately, I think mark rates markets will start to bring forward In what you would be expecting is continuation of these really firm narrative on the reopening trade Actually materializing and economic data in the months going forward as we continue to reopen all things remaining equal in the US so rates markets will probably continue to bring forward interest rate rises, but You know not forgetting that although these numbers are really fantastic The Fed doplops that we saw not that long ago did say that economic kind of GDP would be around six and a half percent at the end of the year so How surprising is this? Not too surprising. I guess what needs watching at the moment is What point then do we see these these numbers if they continue to really surprise on the upside by a large Gap in a positive way and that just continues on indicative then of growth perhaps being even further than six and a half percent by the end of the year and we're not going to see this for a number of months, but if that were the case well then That's going to be then an interesting challenge to be met for for the Federal Reserve But at the moment as you can see for markets and certainly coming off yesterday's session You've just got an almost again a Goldilocks environment where the markets content and happy to see economic improvements that are happening in the US and Willing to then just see that in the backdrop of the Fed at the moment Just keeping a fairly loose stance to policy for the time being so without any change on the latter Then it's kind of all gravy for equities for the moment direction wise and you know Just looking at the S&P from when I left the market on Thursday to when I turned on my screens this morning So we're up now the high in the future is at 40 74 and a half quite incredible really and The other thing to mention then and a few others was in the overnight age of pack session Things were a little bit more sour. I would say to mixed I think the Aussie market outperformed you did have the RBA you keep their cash rate and their three-year yield target unchanged At 0.1% as expected they maintain parameters of their QE program The board said they remain committed to maintaining highly accommodative policy until their goals were met But focusing on China you're looking here at the services PMI We had the case in number overnight came in at fifty four point three against expectations of fifty two point ones That was better than expected However, we're broadly speaking Chinese equity markets were lower after the back of a release of a report Suggesting then that China central bank does asked the nation's major lenders to curtail Loan growth for the rest of the year after a surge in the first two months has stoked bubble risks According to people familiar with the matter so That was really what caught the attention in the local domestic market overnight and was a bit of an overhang for the age of Pacific session Far as the European Open is concerned Obviously we're playing with a catch up given the closures that we observed on Easter Mondays and that's gapped up quite aggressively as you can see here We've seen some initial test here at the R2 exactly There's some profit-taking back down to literally back to where we reopened Before we've had another push here. I've just gone through 7 a.m. Now as I'm recording this here in London Quick update on COVID what's going on there a few things to mention First off before I talk about the US on my screen here the UK government has confirmed restaurants pubs and shops Will reopen as England's lockdown is eased next week obviously on Monday April 12th next substantial marker in that four-step road plan The ban on foreign travel may remain remain for a little longer though as what the PM said last night So nothing particularly too new or shocking there On the US side of things new cases of COVID-19 cases in the US rose 5% more than 450,000 last week and if you remember from my kind of first day of the week briefings up delivered the last three weeks This is in fact the third week in a row now the infections in the US have Risen I did see some charts. It's very kind of state oriented oriented Michigan was one that's really rocketed More recently, but definitely Constitutes keeping an eye on however Equally so though for a sixth week vaccinations in the US have set a record By the numbers at the moment to give you some context an average of 3.1 million shots given per day last week As of Sunday, 32% of the population has received at least one dose and 19% have been fully vaccinated according to the CDC Elsewhere on a global level one country that's getting quite a few headlines at the moment in the emerging markets is that of India India which who of course are the world's largest vaccine manufacturer and particularly important flights to the UK through serum It's going to be quite key because the do they need to really take care of their Domestic situation which is getting materially worse at this present point in time as are their neighboring countries in Pakistan and Bangladesh Right now before they can then start to service other Orders from external on a global level, but India is recording the highest number of new cases in the world As it struggles to contain this latest surge in infections, but did read one quite interesting thing at the weekend This idea although the dollars being softy yesterday a little bit weaker this morning An interesting idea about the disconnect or the disjointed reopening trade that we're going to see globally Nothing particularly new here, but it was always going to likely be the case that developed world We're going to be able to have the money to finance then the Obtainment of vaccines to roll them out and probably get more money to spend on Infrastructure and so on to be able to get people administered But at the moment if you're seeing the US Quite a firm reopening an economic boom Whereas in the likes of India we're seeing a wave that's even more Aggressive now than we've ever seen before then obviously although both these countries will end up in the same place ultimately in the interim period You know could there be quite a Divergence there between more positive obviously fundamental catalyst Driving US assets comparative to emerging markets, which are going to lag for the foreseeable future Then a quick look at the the economic calendar for this week. It is actually pretty quiet overall You've got yesterday's session was was probably most interesting in terms of from a data perspective To some degree, excuse me But going into today's session is pretty quiet There's nothing really too major to look out for so really just Waiting UK Europe to get their feedback under the table and really digest and react to some of the positive catalysts that we're driving US markets and sentiment yesterday So just keeping an eye on equities. I mean as I speak the Dax futures coming back right back up to the initial Reopening of electronic trade overnight high And if we see a continuation of those trends Then you're seeing a third real test now up and around just above 139 20 and cable Which is that level we hit yesterday as per the double top in the euro is not too far off as well at the moment Wednesday we get the service PMI numbers But these are final readings not looking for too much there But do note then we get the FMC minutes, which will be published on Wednesday evening We've got feds Evans feds Kaplan feds Barkin discussing monetary policy and economy on the latter And then Thursday you get the ECB minutes You get the weekly jobless claims and Fed chair Jerome Powell takes part in the IMF panel on the global economy That's one of the main speeches of the week and then going into Friday Chinese inflation metrics will be seen overnight So we'll have those to digest when we come in in the morning and then otherwise. What is a fairly quiet session? There after and that is it. So I haven't really talked about the charts too much But that's because I'm going to leave it to the team Sam Tim and the others to go through that in the discord room on amplify live So hopefully I'll see you guys on there If you're watching this on YouTube as ever, thank you very much for watching If you're not a subscriber to the channel, please do hit that subscribe button Hit the bell icon to be notified whenever any of these briefings go out on a daily basis. All right guys, welcome back and Good luck for the session ahead. Thanks very much


The human mind is like a cave. Beyond the light, there are dark passageways and mysterious recesses. All right, Dr. Daniel Danfield of Explorer, those unknown retreats, and know their secrets. Today's story opens in the town of Barlow, located in southern New York state. It's late evening. Four people are beginning a final hand of bridge. Outside the snug living room, it's bitterly cold. With the light fall of snow on the ground, cards are shuffled out. There you are, folks. Pick up your cards last time. We really shouldn't stay even for this hand, snowing the way it is. Long drive back at Johnson. No, ten minutes won't make much difference. This stopped snowing an hour ago. Uh, what do you bid, Bill? Well, look at my card straightened out here. Okay, I'll bid a spade. Grant? No, I could double-bill, please. I'll bid two diamonds. There you go, talking across the board again. What now, Mr.... Oh, forget it, forget it. Sam, what are you bidding? Sam. Huh? Oh, oh, let's see here, I'll see you. Good heavens, he's drunk again. I am not drunk. I was a judge. I'll see you. Oh, Sam, you are drunk. What am I going to say to your mother? How could he be drunk? We've only had three bourbons each. Yeah, three bourbons each. How about that, Sam? You killed the rest of the bottle when you went out to mix those last ones? You're all crazy. So where's the judge? I'll bid five spades. Five spades? Oh, what's the sense in playing anymore? Come on, Sam, we might as well get started. No, wait a minute. I want to talk to this jug yet. Now, look, Sam, I'm your best friend, and I'm telling you, if you keep on with this drinking, it's going to get you down. That's all? Yeah, that's so. Some people can handle liquor and some can't.  Why don't you face it? Now, Bill, there's no use talking to him when he's in this condition. Yes, there is, too. Sam always remembers everything that's said when he's drunk. I think Bill should talk to him. I wouldn't care so much if his mother weren't visiting us. She'll blame it all on me. See? My little woman doesn't care if I drink.  And you know that's not so. Yes, Toe. You are being hard on him, Bench. After all, Sam works hard, and drinking relaxes his nerves. Have you ever heard that crack before? Sure he worked hard, so do I, so do a lot of guys. Just because Sam makes more money than the rest of us doesn't mean he works any harder. He has the right to drink himself into a stupor. Oh, well, I'm stupor, am I? I didn't say you were stupor. But what I am saying is that one of these days your ticker is going to quit. Oh, yeah? Yeah. You can't keep up this pace. You're killing yourself trying to keep ahead of the rest of the crowd. Not to you, Billy Boy. Okay, not to me. But you won't be wearing that silly grin when you wind up in a hospital or a casket. No? No. Want to know something, Billy Boy? Bet I live longer than you do. Not the way you're going now you won't. Wanna bet? I'll keep going twice as hard and live twice as long.  You're envious. You aren't smart. You spend half your time thinking up excuses because you're not making the dough I am. Sam, stop it. No. Time somebody told the guy off. He's got an inferiority complex.  Sick of being told I'm an old boozehound. Knock on myself. I'll just to keep ahead of the pack. He thinks you'll live longer than I will. I don't want to make a bet. All right, Sam, I will.   Son of nonsense. Sam, for heaven's sake. Don't mind this, Blanchie. All you gotta do is worry about telling Mama I was stink off. $1,000, ain't Billy Boy? It's a bet.  Well, he tried out a check right now and give him to ask her. Tomorrow she can cast him. You do know such things. This farce has gone far enough.  Natural days? Yeah. Do you hear what she said, Billy Boy? Natural days. She doesn't know...  Natural days, huh? Is she only knew what we knew, eh, Billy Boy? Natural days, oh, boy.  Sam, stop that laughing. What in the world are you running on about anyway? All right, shall I tell him, Billy Boy? Shall I tell him that our natural days will probably end before Esther has time to get the check cast tomorrow? In a moment we'll return for the second act of Danger Dr. Danfield, but first, now back to Michael Dunn for the second act of... Danger Dr. Danfield. Well, Westin, now that it stops snowing, we ought to be back in New York in less than an hour. I almost hate to get back, Dan. We had such a wonderful time up at Lake Pleasant. Yes, yes, it was Pleasant. Rather a romantic spot, Lake Pleasant. What was that you said? I said, uh, we had a nice vacation. Well, it'll be good to get back to work again. No, and I was sure that you said, Dan, look! Yes, yes, yes, I see. A young woman standing on the road, waving her arms. Don't stop, Dan. It might be a hold-up. I doubt it, Westin. That young lady's in trouble. She does look scared. Hello there, anything wrong? I ain't haven't do stuff. My husband, he's been shot. Shot? Your husband? Where is he? Back there, sitting in your car. I can't explain now. You've got to help me. No, of course we will. Rusty, move over and give the young lady room, will you? All right. Here, let me help. Thank you. I'm all right. It's about a mile down the road. Tell me, how did this accident happen, Mrs. ... It wasn't an accident. Sam was murdered. Murdered? Yes. It was terrible. Shot came from off in the woods. I didn't know what to do. You see, Sam and Bill had made a big mess. Just a minute, please. Suppose you tell us who you are and then begin at the beginning of the story. No, look, I ... You poor kid. Sam, do you have to ask your questions now? It's all right, I want to talk. My name is Blanche Hardy. Tonight, Sam, my husband and I spent the evening in Bala with some friends, Bill Thayer and his wife. Sam drank too much. We all lectured him. What was the bet you spoke of? Oh, silly. Sam got annoyed because Bill told him if he kept on drinking and working so hard, he wouldn't live much longer. And your husband bet this Bill he'd outlive him? Yes. We didn't take him seriously at first, but they both wrote out checks and gave him the bill's wife as to the whole. And you think that Bill shot your husband in order to win the bet? Oh, no. I don't know what to think. Sam's mother is staying with us. I didn't want her to see Sam drunk, so I drove into an old wagon road on the way home, hoping that Sam would take a nap and sober up. And that's when he was shot? Yes. Sam was just drunk enough to be stubborn. Apparently, he'd run, sat there talking, laughing about the bet he'd made with Bill. How long were you there before it happened? About 30 minutes, I should think. For a moment, I didn't realize what had happened. I just sat there stunned. Sam had fallen sideways. I spoke to him. He didn't answer, no. Yes, I lost my head. I don't blame you. Tell me, do you remember what you did, Mrs. Harding? I got out, started to run. Suddenly, I realized I was going in the wrong direction. I turned and came partway back. I saw a moving light, and it was an automobile passing on the road. I guess otherwise I would have become lost. And you can think of no one else but this Bill Flair, who might want to see your husband dead? Oh, but you mustn't say that. Bill wouldn't want to see Sam dead. They were good friends. Slow down, please. I think it was a long year. Oh? Yes, there's this wagon road going into the woods. There's the tire tracks, all right?  Dan, I'm good. Oh, you're not rusty. The police would never forgive us if we messed up this new fall in the snow with a lot of footprints. Hand me the flashlight from the glove compartment. I guess you're right. Here you are. Thank you. Better close the door and keep it here going. It's pretty cold. I'll be back in a minute. Be careful, Dan. You don't suppose the man who shot Dan is still around? I doubt it. Besides, Dan can take care of himself. I don't know what I'd have done if you hadn't come along. What do you mind telling me your name? Oh, I'm sorry. We should have told you before. Dan is Dr. Daniel Danfield, and I'm his secretary, Rusty Fairfax. Dr. Danfield is a chronicologist? Yes. Well, then perhaps you'll find out who shot poor Sam. He probably will. He likes to get mixed up in this sort of thing. Oh, here he comes back. Find anything, Dan? No, not much. What do you mean, not much? I mean, Rusty, that it looks as though it might have been Mrs. Hardy who had drunk too much of the party, and not her husband. What? What are you talking about? I didn't find your husband, Mrs. Hardy. In fact, I didn't find your automobile. There's nothing back there but a single set of tire tracks going off into the woods. No, I can't believe it. I can't. I must be going mad. You're sure you didn't have too much to drink yourself, Mrs. Hardy? Of course I'm sure. Even if I didn't have too much to drink when I manufactured such a fantastic story, would my husband leave me out on the highway at 12 o'clock at night? Would I urge you to go looking for the automobile if I didn't think it was there? I think she's right, Dan. Yes, there's no question about it. Tell me, is this your street, Mrs. Hardy? Yes, it's third house on the right. Oh. Something wrong? Well, that automobile parked in front of dollars. Dan, there's someone sitting in it. Yes, I see there is. Sam.  Well, that interests me more, Mrs. Hardy, is that the window on the driver's side of the car is open. Well, let's get out and take a look. I knew we'd find it with Sam. Just to make sure, let's open the door. Oh, Dan, he must have been leaning against the door. He's not all on the heap. Yes, I see, Dan. What are we going to do, Dan? We just can't leave him here. I can get full of Captain Otis of the state police. Otis, I think, will be very much interested in this case. Well, Captain, how did you make out? Not so good, Doc. We dusted everything for fingerprints and didn't find any. I rather expected that. I'm not as close as it was last evening. Everyone will be wearing gloves. Have you talked with Mrs. Hardy this morning, Captain Otis? Yes, and fantastic though, her story sounds, I believe it. Well, I suppose there's nothing to do but to begin at the beginning and work the thing out. Doc, how about sticking around, huh? I'll be glad, you Captain. Suppose we go out to the scene of the alleged murder and see what the marks in the snow tell us. Come on, let's get out. Well, there's a set of tire marks made by Hardy's car. I can check those, he's enough. And, uh, those footprints were made by Dan last night. I see. Well, how about that other set of footprints in the tire tracks? Say, there is another set. Hmm, walked in but didn't walk out. Well, they were made by a woman. Hmm, it seems strange that they went into the woods and didn't come out. Yes, yes. Well, I'm sure the car was parked. And the footprints we've just been following end right here. How about that set over there? Well, those, Captain, I think, were made by Mrs. Hardy when she left the car. She said she ran to the woods away before she realized she was going in the wrong direction, I remember. Hmm, and how about this set of footprints that lead in from the road and end here where the car was parked? I think we'll find, Captain, that those were made by the person who drove the car back to the Hardy home. But Dan, there's only one set of tire tracks going off into the woods. Naturally, there would be rusty. The chances are that this wagon road swings back to the main highway, or possibly in a set another road over beyond. Well, that sounds reasonable. But before we check it, let's look around here some more. Hmm, it's a good idea, Captain. I've seen her. Hardy was shot in the left side of the head, so the killer must have been over in that direction. Right, you are, Doc. All right, let's go. It couldn't have been very far away because of the heavy undergrowth around here. You would probably be standing over there in that big pine. You're right, Mr. Fax. Here's the footprints in the snow. Hmm. There's no doubt these were made by a man. There are two sets, one coming up to the tree and the other coming back to the woods toward the highway. Dan, look, there's a depression in the snow. Why, George, it's a handle of a... Well, yes, it's a gun. Don't touch it, Doc. The killer must have thrown it there after he shot Hardy. Oh, do you think so, Captain? Why, of course. It's perfectly obvious what happened. Well, what if it is? The murder probably won't last too. There won't be any fingerprints. Now, wait a minute. Now, look, Doc, what's on your mind? Don't you think that the killer stood here and shot Hardy and then threw the gun away? No, I don't, Captain. I don't believe a calculating murderer such as this person must have been would do anything so obvious. Hmm. Well, then what do you think happened? I think that if we make an impression of these footprints, we'll find that they belong to boots owned by Bill Thayer. I think we'll find also that the gun there in the snow didn't belong to him at all. And I think that the woman's footprints, which we found on the tire tracks, were made by Mrs. Thayer. In a moment we'll return for the third act of Danger, Dr. Danfield, but first, now back to Michael Dunn for the third act of... Your Dr. Danfield. Oh, hello, Assistant. Expecting company, Bill? Well, make sure it's that. All morning long you've been as nervous as a cat. And now I find you're tearing up the road as though you expected a ghost to appear. Nonsense. A little bit of a hangover, that's all. And you think the police can cure it? Look, what?  Isn't that what you worried about, Bill? Isn't it the police car you expect to see coming down the road? For heaven's sakes, what are you getting at, Esther? I know, Bill. Know what? About you and Blanche. About me? I don't know what you're talking about. Yes, you do, Bill. Look, Bill, don't lie, please. It'll only make matters worse. I am a man. Understand what? That it was only a harmless little temptation. Blanche is very attractive. But she's not for you, darling. I see. How long have you known? It doesn't matter. Nothing matters now except that I still love you. And I'm not going to let it make any difference. And you don't have to worry about the police. Why should I worry about the police?  When you said that you were worried about Sam driving home because he was so drunk, I meant it was just an excuse. It wasn't an excuse. I was worried. Bill, Bill, stop lying. Sam wasn't even driving. Blanche was at the wheel. Well, she wouldn't have been for long. You know how Sam is when he's drunk? Yes, that's right. Sam was at the wheel when he was shot. Wasn't he, Bill? What did you say? Oh, darling, why won't you trust me? Why won't you believe that I'm trying to help? Help? I don't need any help. I don't need any help. Let him go. You're trembling, why? Don't you think that I saw you come out of the woods? I did, you know? I heard the shot. Well, that's where you were last night. Who's that? It's the police. Don't worry, darling. Don't worry. I won't. Please, Blanche, get control of yourself, darling. Don't let them see that you're nervous. Oh, let them in. Yes? Hello, are you Mrs. Sayer? Yes, I'm Mrs. Sayer. Oh, I'm Dr. Danfield. This is my secretary, Ms. Fairfax. Oh, yes. We're working with Captain Otis on the murder of your friend Sam Hardy. Oh, yes. Come in, please. Thank you. Oh, is this Mr. Fairfax? Yes, I'm Fair. What was the name, Danfield? Yes, that's right. This is my secretary. Just why do you think Sam Hardy's murder concerns us, Danfield? Did I say it did? Then why are you here? Because the Hardy spent last evening in this house. Because when they left, you both followed them. Did we? You're jumping to conclusions on that one, brother. I followed because Sam was drunk, and I knew he'd insist on driving. Oh? They stopped to change seats. I plan to insist on driving him the rest of the way home. That's very good thinking, Mr. Fair. Fortunately, I can prove that you're lying. That would be interesting. Let's see you do it. Very well. If your car have good-rich Silver Town tires. Yes, why? Oh, I'm just checking. Sir, would you mind showing me your overshoes? Overshoes? Yes, just the ones you wore last night. You see, we made an impression of some footprints we found on the snow near the spot where Hardy was shot. And I suspect that they all match up very nicely with the soles of your overshoes. Yes, they are. All right. So, what's standing in the woods near the parked car? Does that prove I shot Sam? You're getting ahead of me there. I didn't even remotely suggest that you shot Sam Hardy. Anymore than the fact that your wife drove the Hardy automobile with a corpse of Sam still in it onto his home suggests that she shot him. But it doesn't prove either one of you innocent. Esther, is what he says true? Don't answer that just yet, Mrs. Thayer. There's a link in this chain of evidence that's missing. Frankly, I'm guessing when I suggest that you were both at the scene of the crime last night. You have no evidence? I have what I think will turn into evidence, yes. Then you actually can't prove a thing. I won't have to prove a thing, Thayer. Captain Otis of the State Police is on his way here right now with Mrs. Hardy. It's Captain Otis who will do the proving. And the so-called missing link you're after has nothing to do with Sam's death at all. Oh, yes, yes, it has a lot to do with it. I think the missing link is the real motive for the murder. It isn't. It isn't that serious. Oh, you've got to believe us. Believe what, Mrs. Thayer? Keep quiet, Esther. No, no, I won't. It'll only be worth it if the police find it out by questioning or if Blanche tells us Captain Otis. That's very sensible of you, Mrs. Thayer. All right, then let me tell it. Blanche Hardy and I were carrying out a mile flirtation. Wasn't serious, although Sam happened to have stepped into a room one day, unexpectedly. I see. So it became serious with Sam. I suppose so. Good. That's all I wanted to know, Thayer. Oh, well, Rusty, what time is it? Time? It's 10 minutes to 12. All right. Captain Otis should be here any minute now. Then I think we'll know the identity of the murderer. Uh, Doc Danfield and I have been checking our notes all morning, Mrs. Hardy, and we are reasonably sure that the footprints we found near the scene of your husband's death were made by Bill and Esther Thayer. But why would either one of them want to murder Sam? Why? They were our best friends. No, possibly it was because of the best the two men made. Oh, no. Even you must realize that one intelligent man wouldn't murder another. Just, just a $100,000 bet. Oh, then there must have been another motive. Well, they couldn't. Oh, no, wait a minute. Yes? Not. Too silly to think of a... No, I know I must be wrong. Wrong? Wrong about what? About thinking that Bill could possibly have shot Sam because... or because Bill was interested in me. That's the oldest motive for murder in the world, Mrs. Hardy. There was nothing serious. Bill wouldn't commit murder. I know he wouldn't. No, possibly not. I haven't met this Bill yet. Oh, is that the Thayer home? Yes, the one with the car parking time. It's all like a dream. I can't believe it really happened. Bill and Sam were such good friends. The line between love and hate is finally drawn, Mrs. Hardy. Now let's go on in. Dan and Miss Fairfax are waiting for us. Oh, hello, Captain. Mrs. Hardy. Hello, Doc. Hope we didn't keep you waiting. I don't know. Everything was very nicely timed. Doc, Dan, dear, has Bill... Admitted shooting Sam? No, Blanche, I haven't. Did you think I would? Of course I didn't, Bill, only... Only what, Blanche? Do you think it was...? I wouldn't answer that, Mrs. Hardy. Well, hello, Miss Fairfax. Hello, Captain. Doc, you'd better introduce me to these people, and then let's get going. Right. Mr. and Mrs. Thayer, Captain Otis. How are you doing? Now then, Doc, let's have it. Very well. When Mr. and Mrs. Hardy left the house last night, Hardy was pretty drunk. Mrs. Hardy prevailed upon him to stop the car and try to sober him up by taking a nap. She drove into the wagon road for that purpose. Huh. That was when Hardy got him behind the wheel. Like most drunks, he objected to being told what to do. Yes. Thayer was following the Hardys. He saw the tail out of their car disappear into the woods. He guessed the reason. He stopped his own car, cut through the woods, and stood near the big pine, listening. I've already admitted that. I knew Sam would be belligerent. If Blanche needed help, I wanted to be on hand. Oh, that was noble of you, Fairfax. However, some time later, Mrs. Thayer called a taxi from the all-night stand, and the legion set out for the Hardy home. When she saw her husband's car parked beside the road, she drove on pass, dismissed the cab, and walked back. And it was just about then that you heard the shot. Is that right, Mrs. Thayer? Well... Yes, that's right. So what can I say? They know. Yeah. Yeah, I guess there's no use. It was I who shot him.  What? Sam Hardy was already dead when you pulled the trigger. He died of carbon monoxide poisoning. Mrs. Hardy had fixed it so the fumes from the exhaust came into the car. I didn't. That's not true. Oh, yes, it's true, Mrs. Hardy. We've gone over your car and found where you had previously attached the length of rubber hose to the exhaust pipe so you could direct the fumes with a minimum of... But, uh, I... When you stepped in the woods, Mrs. Hardy, Sam was asleep. You rolled up the windows of the car and then stepped outside and waited for him to die. Afterward, you arranged the exhaust pipe the way it was before and then rolled down the window on the driver's side so that no one would suspect he'd been asphyxiated. You can't prove that. You can't prove it. Sorry, Mrs. Hardy. You were wearing woolen gloves. A thread from those gloves caught under breath if holding the exhaust pipe. Oh, no! No, you can't tell by this, Sam. Not just a little thing like that. It doesn't prove anything. It doesn't not just a little thing like that. In a moment, we'll return for the conclusion of Danger, Dr. Banfield. But first, now for the conclusion of... Danger, Dr. Banfield.  Loose ends, Rusty? Yeah. Let's face it, Doc. There are plenty of them. You must have been pretty sure it was Mrs. Hardy who was guilty in order to ask me to back up your bluff about the thread from the woolen glove catching on the bracket of the exhaust pipe. Oh, I was, Captain. And what I can understand is why didn't Mrs. Sayer see Mrs. Hardy when she ran from the woods and started up the highway? Mrs. Sayer did see her, Rusty. Naturally, she didn't give her presence away because she knew that Bill was in the woods and was practically sure it was he who fired the shot. Well, that makes sense, but look, Doc, how were you so sure that Blanche Hardy was fixated her husband? Because, Captain, by the time we found Hardy his body in the car in front of his house, Rigor Mortis would have set in if he had been shot, and it hadn't. You see, Rigor Mortis never sets in when a person dies of carbon monoxide poisoning. Say, that's right. When we opened the door of his car, Hardy's body fell out and crumbled up in a heap. Wouldn't have crumbled up like that if Rigor Mortis had set in. That's right, Rusty. Why didn't you tell me about that in the first place, Doc? Because, Captain, proving that Mrs. Hardy was lying and proving her gildy of murder were two different things. I wanted to establish her motive first. Well, that wasn't the only reason. No, it wasn't. Frankly, I had to have material for a lecture on delivering tomorrow night. Well, then, we did have a nice vacation anyway. You know, Rusty, if Captain Otis weren't here, I'd end our vacation with a proper gesture. As a matter of fact, I think I will anyway.


Man bum be thank you for coming on the show man. I'm happy to be here, but I'm happy to be I'm here with bum be man This is one of the dopest artists that I ever knew man. Listen man. It's been a long time coming man. Listen Hey, man listen without him boss talk wouldn't even be a boss talk because I have really just talked about this guy The movement of this guy and and just the movement of the whole UGK movement I can't hold it no longer man. This guy bum be showed up today, man. I'm so excited man I love this guy. Thank you, man. I've been telling everybody I argue about this guy anytime This is my go-to whenever I'm doing a little. Hey, man. Don't mess with Texas. Leave me alone. I'm not playing with y'all man Man bum be thank you for coming on the show man. I'm happy to be here, but I'm happy to be I'm here with bum be man This is one of the dopest artists that I ever knew man. Listen man It's been a long time coming man. Listen. She heard it. She probably tired of my mouth here because of him That's the only reason I know who you GK bum be pimp see on the reason. I know who that is as long as you know Don't you know I'm good with that, you know job You know when I think about jive and y'all label mates like too short I know y'all did some early on words that I think it's all right I Mean what to show was a real mentor to us because You know, he was actually in the system that we were trying to navigate, right? So when we would get to her like a when we would hit a wall, we would you know hit short short What what did you do with anything like that? I'd say well, this is what you got to do You know I'm saying to keep yourself out of those type of situation But if you already in that situation, then you probably gonna have to do this Yeah, you know what I'm saying So, you know, I was blessed to have mentors like Jay Prince and and too short to the game to teach me a lot of different things About the world I was actually in because it's real easy to make the music was real hard to make the money Feel about trail burger. I got the only person that eat at trail burgers more than my wife Would be chair Believe that he would have sold he would have felt like a personal stake Even if he had no financial state, I think he just would have wanted to see me succeed Yeah, that's that was the one thing we wanted from each other was we genuinely wanted the other person to win Because he had goals and I had goals. We had a collective goal with you gk But we knew that that could create the things that we actually separately was looking for in life And it did it provided us that pathway So, okay, cuz a lot of people when they come on our show, they always ask us How do we keep it together? Because we've been married 20 y'all beat us by a couple months by this just to let y'all know we're may your mark But they always ask us how do we make it work because I always tell them I said it's not easy You know, you have the ups and downs, but as long as you decide, you know at the end of the day It's you no matter what how do y'all make it work? We make it work because she makes it work. You know what I'm saying my wife does not accept a lesser version of me Right, and I already know that my life is my wife is operating at a high level My wife is very conscious about who she is and what she's trying to do I get pulled in a lot of different ways So sometimes I can be given certain things less less energy than they need and other things more energy than they deserve Right. So my wife typically becomes the differentiator. It becomes like you shouldn't be what you you worry about the wrong thing You what you really need to focus on is is over here, right? And then we focus on that and we fix that now in order for that to work I got to be open to my wife's interpretations of things my wife's advice You know what I'm saying on these type of things and for a self-made man. That's very hard


Welcome to the Voice of America's Newswords. On February 24, Russia launched a full-scale invasion of its neighbor, Ukraine. Siege Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky has accused Russia of terror for bombing cities and striking a nuclear power plant. A siege is a military operation in which enemy forces surround a town or building and cut off supplies. The aim of a siege is surrender. The Russian President Vladimir Zelensky has accused Russia of terror for bombing cities and striking a nuclear power plant.


And Frank is going to introduce our next speaker giving testimony. Thank you, Rachel. Thank you, Bruce, very much. Our next testifier is David Vine. He's a professor of political anthropology at American University Washington DC. He's the author of a newly released book titled United States of War, a global history of America's endless conflicts from Columbus to Islamic State. David is also the author of the book Islands of Shame and Base Nation. I'll just say, I found out about David when I heard him on Democracy Now with Amy Gibbons sometime in the last year, and I looked him up and we've been communicating and I got his book and I'm glad to present him today. David you're on. Thank you so much Frank and thank you to everyone who has helped put on this amazing Cold War Truth Commission. Thank you especially to Rachel as well. And to Code Pink. Of course this is especially appropriate being held the week of the 18th anniversary of the US invasion and war in Iraq. I have learned so much already and I must say my commitment to my students and reading their papers is going to be severely tested tonight as I debate between wanting to watch more and working on their work. I should say the truth is getting out. I hope if you didn't see the front page of the USA Today, and just a few weeks ago, a reckoning is near. America has a vast overseas military empire. Does it still need it? This is the USA Today, the nation's newspaper. A reckoning is near. There's little I can say that hasn't been said already Miguel Angel at the beginning Rachel Frank, Gerald Horn, Carly Town and many, many others have already shown us that there was nothing cold about the Cold War. We just look at the deaths of the cold, so called Cold War alone, among many other forms of destruction. I think we have to ask how can we call this war cold, given that it killed three to four million people in Korea, an estimated 3.8 million in Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia, half a million in a US backed genocide in Indonesia, half a million in Afghanistan in the 1980s, 50,000 in Nicaragua, 75,000 in El Salvador, 200,000 in the Guatemalan genocide, among many others that I sadly don't have time to name. Calling the Cold War cold of course is so deeply troubling because it contributes to ignoring the many victims of the not cold war. The dead, as well as the injured, the displaced, the traumatized, including victims here in the United States. Just as a quick aside, well, I don't think language choices are our most important political priority. So we should continually call attention to the offensively offensive inaccuracy of the name Cold War, and at least consider pushing for the, for a renaming of the war in the media and in history textbooks among other places. Using the term so called Cold War I think is a good start for now. I'll use the term the not cold war. So what I want to say today, echoing again what others have already said so powerfully is that among the tens of millions of victims of the not cold war.  We should consider them among the victims of the Cold War, the not cold war, because racism, of course has fueled much of the US led violence during and since the not cold war in ways that in turn have further fueled racism, which in turn has fueled further war and violence to this day, including the massacre and for that matter, the January 6 coup attempt in Washington DC. Put more simply and hopefully more clearly racism has fueled us wars and other violence, which has fueled racism, which has fueled us wars and violence which has fueled racism, and so on in a repeating cycle. In a March 19 article in the nation I'll put a link in the chat shortly. Christine on Terry Park and Kathleen Richards show us the connections between rising anti Asian violence across the country and quote a long history of US foreign policy in Asia centered on domination and violence fueled by racism and quote. I'm going to quote from them at length, because I think they demonstrate and explain these connections far better than I can belittling and dehumanizing Asians has helped justify endless wars and expansion of US militarism. Christine on Terry Park and Kathleen Richards right. And this has deadly consequences for Asians and Asian Americans, especially women. And violence through US foreign policy has manifested in the wars that have killed millions torn families apart and led to massive displacement in the nuclear tests and chemical weapons storage that resulted in environmental contamination in Okinawa, in the Marshall Islands and beyond in the widespread use of napalm and agent orange in Vietnam, Laos and Korea in the US military bases that have destroyed villages and entire communities in the violence perpetrated by US soldiers and Asian women's bodies. They continue, if we are to successfully stop anti Asian hatred here in the United States, we must recognize how US foreign policy perpetuates it and end US militarism and wars throughout Asia Pacific. We must address violence against Asians and women and dismantle white supremacy at home, they say, we must also fundamentally real reorient US foreign policy in the Asia Pacific region, and I'd add worldwide away from domination and control and toward true human survival. Building on the words of Christine on Terry Park and Kathleen Richards. Let me close by saying that I hope today's event, and last week's her real, really horrific massacre inspire us to demand with new urgency. This kind of fundamental transformation of US foreign policy, demanding such changes, not only the right and moral thing to do. It could be the only thing that saves us. Without such a transformation, United States will likely continue to lurch from one racist war to the next one white supremacist attack to the next abroad and at home. As the nation's newspaper has said, and his last week's massacre demands, a reckoning is near. Thank you. Thank you, David. Frank. Thank you, David. Thank you so much for your presentation. Like to have you as a professor.


Today I'll talk about conditional disclosure of secret where nonlinear reconstruction. I'm Tianyuan. This is joint work with Vinod and Hotec. So you have heard the talk about conditional disclosure of secret or CDS already. Here's a quick recap of the definition. There are three parties. Alice, who holds the predicate. Bob, who holds the input i. And Charlie, who knows both FNI. Alice and Bob also knows a bit secret. And they want to disclose the secret to Charlie if and only if FI equals 1. So this model is like multi-party computation but with minimum communication. Alice and Bob cannot talk to each other, but they share a random tape. This random tape is private in the sense that Charlie cannot read it. Alice and Bob also each send a message to Charlie. They cannot receive any message from Charlie. After this, Charlie should be able to learn a secret if FI equals 1. For privacy, when FI equals 0, Charlie should learn nothing about the secret. We are aiming for information theoretical security. Therefore, when FI equals 0, the joint distribution of the message should be simulatable by a simulator who doesn't know the secret. So far, it's the same as the previous talk. But in this one, we stick to the case where the Alice input, you should consider that as a truth table. So Charlie learned the secret if and only if the i's index in the truth table is 1. CDS is very useful. In the paper by Gertner, Isshai, Kuchilevis, and Mailkin, it was used to protect data privacy in peer schemes. It also implies secret sharing of a bidding graph. And it also looks like one-time attribute-based encryption, and it can be lifted to a multi-time attribute-based encryption. It's also an interesting primitive on its own. So let's have a toy construction to say how it works. Here, the private random tape, we read n bit of random bit. Bob, he sent the secret bit, x or the s random bit. This is like a one-time pad. Then what Alice do is natural. He sent all the random bit rj such that di equals 1, a dj equals 1. So the secret is one-time padded by ri, and ri is leaked by Alice if and only if di equals 1. So we have both privacy and the correctness. In this scheme, the Bob's communication is minimized to one bit. Alice's communication is at most n bit. When di x1, Bob reconstructs the secret by a very simple way. He just x or the bits sent by Bob and one bit sent by Alice. We have another toy construction. This one, Alice's communication complexity, it's minimized to one bit. Alice sent the secret x or with all the random bit rj such that a dj is 0. And for Bob, Bob sent all the random bit, except ri. So you can see here, there's only one unsent secret bit, which is ri. Ri is used to encrypt the secret if and only if di is 0. Therefore, we also have both privacy and correctness. In this case, when Charlie wanted to reconstruct the secret when di is 1, he also do something very simple. He took the bit sent by Alice, x or with some of the bits sent by Bob. So in the previous two examples, Charlie reconstructed the secret by x or some of the bit he received, which is a linear function mode 2. We said a CDS have linear reconstruction. If Bob reconstructed the secret by apply a linear function on the message he received. Now already, you have seen two constructions for CDS. With linear reconstruction, the communication complexity with n1 and 1n. You can do a balancing between them and get another CDS, also linear reconstruction. But the communication complexity is square root n. This is also the best known before us. OK. Gay, Crenidus, and V, they prove that if the reconstruction is linear, square root n is actually the best you can get. In the same paper, they show a log n lower bound for unrestricted reconstruction. So as you can see, there is an exponential gap between the lower bound and the best reconstruction. If you want to improve it and get a better CDS, you need the reconstruction to use some nonlinear technique. So here comes our works. First, we present a CDS with cube root n reconstruction, a cube root n communication complexity. And the quadratic reconstruction. This is also tied in the sense that cube root n is optimal for quadratic reconstruction. We get another construction such that, OK, this time we have sub-pollinomial communication complexity. But as the trade-off, the reconstruction is more complicated. So you should get the idea now that, OK, we need nonlinear techniques. But where are they coming from? It turns out, like the correct place to looking for nonlinear technique is from two-server information theoretical private information retrieval. So in two-server peer, there are two-server, each hold a table. And the client hold the index. The client want to learn the S index in the table, without leaking his index. OK, you can see it's somehow similar to CDS. There are three parties. There are information theoretical. There is a database, there is the index. And also, there is a square root n communication construction. Construction, yeah. But one big difference is that we have a better scheme for peer. For peer, we have a cube root n communication complexity scheme. And also, recently, the Vorgopi, they construct the first subpolynomial communication complexity peer. So natural question is that, OK, can we import a technique from peer to CDS? OK. Beemer, Eschei, Khmerism, Kushilevis, they do something similar. They import technique from four-server peer to PSM. PSM is kind of similar to CDS. Encouraged by previous result, we also import techniques from peer. We construct CDS, these two with cube root n communication capacity and subpolynomial communication capacity. Actually, we have a quite general transformation from two-server peer to CDS. As long as the peer satisfies some mailed properties. Let's see. First, a quick definition of peer. Two-server, a client. Client knows the index. Client generate query and send to server. Server answers. Client get the answers. And the client learns the essential. For privacy, each server individually learns nothing about the index. OK. So we would like gradually transfer this picture to a CDS. The first thing I'd like to do is to split the client into two pieces. The one on the top right, he only taking care of generating queries and send to server. The one on the bottom left, he get the answer from the server and he output the eyes index. So the first property we assume on the peer is that the query actually forms an additive secret sharing of a vector UI. Here UI to UN is just some public, everyone know, a vector. OK. The server answered the query. I don't care how he do it. Let HD denote how the server answered the query. Our second assumption is the client get the S entry by doing some linear work. In particular, assuming you are the client, you get the answer, which is a vector on its own. You're inner product it with UI. You subtract the two inner product, the difference would be DI. So you may ask, oh, this looks quite specialized. But actually it's not. As long as you have a peer where the client output S entry by doing something linear on the answer he received, you can transform this peer to a peer with this equation. The total communication complexity would increase a bit, but only by constant factor. Assuming we have both these properties, we are ready to transforming this peer to a CDS scheme. First thing in CDS, there's a secret bit. We need to embed it somewhere. We give the bit to the top client. So the client would follow. If the bit is 1, nothing changes. If the bit is 0, he actually sends same query to both server. Everyone else in this graph, they just pretend nothing has happened and do the same thing. So what do the bottom client output here? It's actually output S times DI. When the secret bit S equals 1, he just output DI as previously. When secret bit is 0, he's actually subtracting two identical inner project. Therefore, the output is 0. So putting them together, the output is S times DI. S times DI is actually what we need for CDS. Assuming you are Charlie, you get S times DI. What does it tell you? When DI is x1, it gave you the secret. When DI is 0, it hides the secret. OK, now it's my favorite part. So the top server is actually Alice, knowing the database. Good. The top client is actually Bob, knowing index, secret. Good. There's no need to sign the random string to Alice. They can simply read it from their private random string. Both client and server in the bottom are Charlie. So let's merge to Charlie. This is how the picture looks like. Let's check the CDS schemes already. Is it correct? It is. From Alice's message, you can compute the blue inner product. From the Bob's message, you can compute the green inner product. Subtract them, get STI, which is what Charlie should learn. OK, so it is private. Assume you are the simulator. You want to simulate the Charlie's view without knowing secret S. OK, Bob's message, cool. It's simulatable. It's just a random string. But you don't know how to simulate Alice's one. Actually, Alice's message alone, you can simulate it because it doesn't even contain S. But the joint distribution is hard. But now let's have a daydream. Alice's message is used to compute this inner product. What if Alice just sent this inner product? It's just one bit. And actually, when di equals 0, from this equation, you can compute what Alice would are going to send. So this is actually simulatable. But very sadly, Alice cannot send this inner product because Alice cannot compute it. Alice doesn't know SI, doesn't know UI. Bob knows UI. So Bob can help. So the current situation is like Alice knows a vector. Bob knows a vector. They want Charlie to learn the inner product without leaking extra information. It's doable. It's actually very simple. It's actually a very simple protocol for this. Alice sent a one-time pad of his hurray vector. And Bob sent the inner product between the pad and his vector. What does Charlie do? Charlie actually also knows this Bob's vector. So Charlie do an inner product between UI and what Alice sent, subtract what Bob sent. Then Charlie would get this inner product. So we still have correctness. So how about privacy? Alice's message is easy to simulate. It's just random string. And again, the extra bit sent by Bob, you can compute it from the equation at the bottom. So actually, you also have privacy. So now, actually, you have the transformation already. But in this transformation, we assume two properties, which is listed in the top of the slides. I want to make some comment here. The first one, we actually don't need the first property. Without this property, the transformation would look ugly, but it still survives. The second thing, name odd peer to server peer, you know. They satisfy both property in the top. Therefore, they can be transferred to CDS with same communication complexity. And the one more thing is like, if you remember, like Charlie, he acted boasting as the server and the client at the bottom. Therefore, his complexity is at least as much as the server in the peer. So for Kube root and peer, the server's complexity, the server need to compute a quadratic function. So when it transformed to CDS, like Charlie need to do quadratic evaluation. And similarly, in a subpolynomial peer, the server do something complicated, high degree. Then when transferred to CDS, Charlie also need to evaluate a complicated function. So this is, OK, let's have a concrete one. Let's see how we transform the subpolynomial peer to CDS. So what does the vector UI looks like? The vector UI is actually just called matching vector family.  Inner product vector with some other vector is none zero. And if you can find better, like shorter matching vectors, then you would have better peer and also get better CDS. And the server, OK, what I want you to observe from this one is this is what the server does in the subpolynomial peer. And also this is what the Charlie need to evaluate. He need to compute the inner product on exponent, which is very high degree polynomial if it's not written on the exponent. So this is not technical part I want to say. To summary, we get two new CDS schemes. One with cube-ridden communication capacity, which also tied for quadratic reconstruction. One with subpolynomial communication capacity. The technique borrowed from peer. If you have a new peer, it's very likely you can also transform it to a better CDS. And if you know forbidden graph, our result also implies better secret sharing schemes on forbidden graph. So this is how the picture looks like. There used to be an exponential gap here. We somehow narrowed it down, but there's still room left. And big question is, what's the right answer? Thank you very much.


T.F.N.N. Headline News Update Hello, T.F.N.N. Good afternoon, everybody. I'm Tommy O'Brien. Good afternoon, T.F.N.N. This is Tommy O'Brien. Do you say good afternoon, everybody? Say hello. Is it Fed Day, Tommy? Folks, as I come to you, it is Fed Day, and we've got the markets with a little bit of volatility. I'm going to be live until 2.30. My man, Tommy O'Brien, right here. We're holding down the fort right now. And as we do that, then we will be airing. I know. Are you excited? It's Fed Day, Tommy. Let's see what the markets are doing as we digest the information. And we have a little bit of a spike higher. Nonetheless, we take it in stride, and I'm looking for headlines as we even speak. Let's pull over the live. We digest this all to the second, just like you guys do here, folks, but we'll be live as it happens. Okay, that's what we're looking for. The median forecast, looking for 75. Can you say 75? What did you do? He's painting over here, folks. It's Fed Day. 75 basis points of rate cuts in 2024 to 4.6% will assess extent of any additional firming needed. It's how they phrase it. Inflation eased over past year, but remains elevated. Some of the wording. Are you doing some painting, Tommy? How are you doing some painting? Tell me. You want to do some painting? Tommy, what are rates doing? Tommy, what are rates doing? Are they going down or are they going up? They're going down. Did you hear that, grandpa? We've had a shift. Rates are going down, and the market is going up, and let's jump around. The S&Ps are up by 19. NASDAQ 100 up by 80. We got the Dow up 153. We jumped to yields. And there's a spike for you, man. We jumped from 110 to 113. And what is that putting us at right now? 4.09%. The yield on the tenure, you might get a three-handle. On the tenure, by the end of the trading day. Pretty remarkable when you put it in that context. What do you have? You have lower yield? What's that going to do? That's going to put some weakness in the dollar. Who are you talking about? Weakness, man? You want to get a race track? Oh, is that a cool race track? A race track like a car? That looks like a cool race track. We've been clicking on ads, and we're getting served ads for race cars, folks, believe it or not. Look at this dollar dropping as we speak. I'm coming back live until 2.30. We'll have Chairman Powell live right here on Tiger TV. From 2.30 to 3. My man Tommy O'Brien told me that before. Hey, and tell him, what did you do today? Did you play some hockey? Were you ice skating? We'll talk about that, too. We're coming back. We got action, folks. Don't go away. Everything in the universe is governed by the Fibonacci sequence. This mathematical principle is responsible for everything from the most aesthetically pleasing artwork to patterns in the stock market. To stay on top of it, stay on top of it.


So when you offer too much, sometimes it becomes very complicated. And when it becomes very complicated can become very overwhelming, right? And that when your business becomes overwhelming, that's when we kind of lose track of certain things and we get off guard, right? So first of all, I would keep it simple in the sense that what do I wanna specialize in, right? When parents think of me, are they thinking of me as a small group trainer or are they thinking of me as a one-to-one trainer, right? So we've got to really specialize what we do. So specialize one-to-one or groups, okay? Now, another thing we can do is if it's just yourself coaching, well, let me leave that one for now. Before we move on to that is now we need to find a way of getting clients more committed, right? And this is something a lot of trainers we work with at the beginning, they're struggling with because essentially what they do is they kind of let their clients do whatever they want. It's like, okay, if you can't make it this week, we'll just reschedule for next week, et cetera. Something I like what you're doing and you're on the right track is charging parents paying up front for the month, right? So I like that because essentially if a parent pays up front for the month, the chances are they're gonna show up, yeah. And if they don't show up, you've been paid, okay? So something I would transition if you're working with one-to-one clients, right? Is maybe go for three months, okay? Up front with a discount. So this might be you charge like three months upfront but you give them a month for free, okay? So essentially they're paying two months, right?  Now, what we wanna do is that I know most parents, if you're telling them to commit to three months, they'll be very hesitant because parents are very busy, right? And some of them are like, oh, I don't wanna commit for so long because I don't know if I'm gonna like this coach but we wanna explain to them why we want them to commit upfront and for three months, okay? Ultimately, the more a child is training with you, the better they're gonna get. If they're just coming once a month or once every three weeks, your training is pretty much pointless because they're not getting much out of it, right? So we wanna reassure them that the longer the commitment, the more development your child is gonna get.


Number one, admit your mistake. It is so important in relationships to own up to our mistakes and take responsibility for them. To apologize, if you've hurt someone it is your responsibility to apologize sincerely.  Next, reflect on what you could have done differently. Think about what led you to making that mistake or hurting that person in whatever way and how you could have handled that situation differently. Four, make a plan to prevent future mistakes. This could mean setting boundaries, improving communication, or even seeking additional support or guidance. And the last and probably maybe most important one, follow through on your commitments. If you make a commitment and you apologize and say you're going to make things right then do it. On a deeper level this is showing your partner that you actually care about them and do feel sorry for hurting them.
