I'm considered doing a, thanks Jordan, have you ever considered doing a book on art that reflects mystical experience, like Bernini's Piercing of St. Teresa of Avila or Blessed Ludovica in Ecstasy? I have, I mean really that's my field, Bernini is very much my, Baroque is my field and I have a lot of ideas about how the age of Galileo and the possibility of empowering the human eye to see beyond the mortal realm, very inspirational to artists like Bernini who grow very interested in representing mystics but really helping the viewer to see the mystical vision. I think they are very much correlated the two events and so yeah I do have a lot of thoughts on the subject. We could do an awesome webinar with that, with a lot of visuals, you know. Yeah I love the topic, I really do, I think it's fascinating that they really, the 17th century is really in the face of an incredibly empirical world reminding people that there are people, there are the privileged saints who see things that other people can't see. Sorry. Yeah, yeah awesome, awesome. Alright well hey friends you're watching behind the scenes Divine Intimacy Radio and we have an exciting show with Dr. Elizabeth Lev and about St. Joseph in art to end, it's a great way to end the year of St. Joseph to draw our hearts once again to him and his great work. So why don't we go ahead and jump into the show, you ready Steph? I'm ready. Okay, and your mark gets set, go. This is Dan Stephanie Burke, welcome to Divine Intimacy Radio, your radio haven of rest. Your hermitage of the heart. Your monastery of the mind, we lift our hearts and minds to heaven, to the wisdom of the saints. And today, to great art, to help us to see what we didn't necessarily see in the time that it existed but certainly to help us to better understand through the work of art and I think inspired art how it is that we can draw near to those whom God has given us to lead us to heaven. Yeah, I mean in a very important way that I've drawn a lot of people into the church, into the faith, the fullness of the faith. Father John Bartunek converted in great, great, his study of it brought him all the way into the bosom of the church and he's doing incredible work there. Right. So you want to introduce Liz and share, tell folks a little bit about her background and we're going to jump into her book. Okay. The book is called A Silent Night, St. Josephine Art and so it's my honor to introduce Liz Love. Dr. Elizabeth Love received her undergraduate degree in art history from the University of Chicago and her doctorate from University of Bologna specializing in the art of the counter-reformation. She has lived in Rome since 1997 and has taught art history for Duquesne University's Italian campus since 2002. She is also taught at the Pontifical University of Thomas Aquinas. She is a didactic consultant for the Vatican Museums and her articles have appeared in First Things, Magnificat and the Sacred Art Journal. Her books include How Catholic Art Saved the Faith and A Body for Glory. She has lectured worldwide and her TED Talk on the Sistine Chapel has garnered over 1.8 million views. That's fascinating. That's awesome. Welcome, Liz. Thank you. Very happy to be here. It's good to have you back, Liz. You know, I'm fascinated, you know, I'm a convert so I came, I was very much rooted theologically in the Reformation in Calvinist theology before the Lord wrestled me into a deeper understanding of the history of the church. How important, just curious because of your specialization in counter-reformation art, how important was art in the counter-reformation? What was the central role it played? I think the church really relied very heavily on art during the counter-reformation period or, better yet, the period of a Catholic restoration because after the tearing down and the tearing down of teachings, the prestige of the papacy, the role of the saints, the church really needed to build up. And dogmen, doctrine are not things that work well in sound bites. So the Protestants had really mastered the ability to use the newly discovered or the newly reinforced power of the printing press. You know, it's very difficult, these point-by-point answers that need to be so careful. It's not really good reading, right? So what the church relied on was something that it has been engaged with for, you know, since the 2nd century AD, which is art. And so they commissioned artists, they commissioned a great deal of art, they encouraged lay people to commission art that would reinforce teachings. So you would see above an altarpiece something that would draw the mind and the heart to the real presence of Christ in the Eucharist. Awesome. So was there a central, like in terms of counter-reformation art, was it predominantly focused on the Eucharist or was it just more broadly themed? I think there are many, many different aspects of the Catholic faith. So there was a lot of art that was meant to reinforce the Eucharist and also the other sacraments. But there was also a fair amount of art to hold up examples of saints, to really think about people who were leaders and guides towards holiness and to try to make them very accessible and very sort of powerful persuaders to live a life of holiness. There's also biblical stories that explored virtue and vice. I mean, they really, it was a full court press so that people who love images would be able to enjoy the beauty of images, but at the same time take away the teaching, take away the sense of an ancient church, a church that is rooted in an apostolic tradition. I mean, really across the board art was very much, if not a handmaiden, but really an ally to the church. Awesome. So you talked about sacred art being a way to make saints accessible to us and these stories of biblical stories, the important truths of the faith. So keeping that in mind, why did you write this book, this beautiful book on our Silent Night, St. Joseph and Art? How does his art make him accessible or art of him make him accessible to us? The fascinating thing about St. Joseph, he does not show up in art for the first 400 years. So the Christians start making art in the late second century and he doesn't show up in the early lineup. He doesn't really show up until 431.  How does he fit into the story? Should he even be in the story? And then as the centuries progressed, particularly from the turn of the first millennium, the images of Joseph not only start to proliferate, but they start to transform so that you can put up five different images of Joseph. And it's hard to tell that they're the same person because one's old, one's young, one is goofy looking, one is regal looking. And you put them all side by side and you wouldn't really be able to know that they were all Joseph because they don't look alike. And that is the really remarkable thing about St. Joseph is that he because of this ability to take on many guises is able to address different problems that the church has faced over the course of a thousand years. Fascinating, fascinating. So in essence, when we talk about being able to address different issues, so for instance, St. Joseph, the worker, of course, has a specific focus for those who are in manual labor and things like that, right? Is that what you're talking about? Well, I'm talking, I mean, there are so, for example, things I did not know. There was a whole period that sort of starts in the 1300s and you can still find traces of it into the 1600s where you cannot tell St. Joseph and St. Peter apart. They look like the same. They're the same person. And this is addressing a very serious issue that has come up in the church in this period. And that problem is it starts when we have a papacy that moves to Avignon, a papacy that then splits into three different popes. And the idea of someone who will truly espouse the church and be a custodian of the church, the the thinkers at the time, people like Jean-Guerçon and the Franciscan, Jean-Pierre-Olivi, they're thinking in terms of, wait, Joseph. Joseph was a good husband. That's the person that should be an inspiration to the successor of St. Peter. And that's just one example. In terms of all of the images that you've seen before the show, I was able to show you the one one that I love. My preference for Joseph is a strong, younger-ish, you know, forties or so man. My favorite movie image that we talked about before the show was the Nativity. The Nativity movie was created by Protestants, but it was it was more focused on Joseph and his character than Mary. And of course, that makes sense for a Protestant movie about the Nativity in a sense, right, because of extraordinary. But he was exceptional. The acting, the strength, this character, even representing, in many ways, the silence, you know, the quietness, but strong. Do you have a favorite painting of Joseph that really, as you were doing all of this, moved you? Well, so I just addressed these these this film, which I was really struck with. I remember seeing that film and being very struck with that Joseph and the Italians actually made a movie about Joseph. And again, they portrayed him as a young and handsome man. I mean, this is that type of imagery of the viral Joseph who is really a figure of self mastery. I think that's a very important thing about this this making Joseph useful. Youthful is a reflection. It's a theological reflection on the chastity of Joseph. The Joseph has always been a chaste man. He has an example of self mastery. And so you don't need to make him an old, doddering man to, you know, make him make you think that he would never have been interested physically in the Virgin. But really a man who knows how to command himself. And that is really a beautiful example of virility. Insofar as my favorite and this is this is there are there are images of Joseph that I find intellectually very stimulating. I find them quite attractive. But I think the one that my mind always goes to one because I really love the painter. I'm a specialist in the Baroque and his name is Guido Rainey. And he did many, many, many of these images. And they were meant for private homes. They're not meant for, you know, alter pieces. And I I he has a lovely older Joseph dressed like Saint Peter. So he looks like that he's wearing the blue and gold robes that are traditionally the robes of Saint Peter. He's holding the infant Jesus. He's got this big, gray, fluffy beard. And his face is completely absorbed in the child. And so for me, it's not so much that I'm noticing that he looks like an older man instead of a young, virile man. But it's just the way that Rainey captures that absolute marvel and absorption in the in the child in front of him. And then the playful way that Jesus reaches up to play with to sort of touch his fluffy beard. There's just an intimacy in that that I could really see. It was one of the works that made me understand how important private art, art in people's homes, religious art in the home is. So waiting around to go to a museum, which, of course, takes a work of art out of its context and puts it in a sterile context. Or we are waiting around to look at a painting for two minutes on your way out of Mass on Sunday. That's not living with art. And many of the works that we see in these museums that we pay money for, that we stand in line for, are works that were actually originally meant to be in people's homes. And it was part of their daily cornice. Get up in the morning and you have your coffee.  I want to be like this man or this woman or I identify with this situation. And we've really, we've lost that. Amen. I well, and I'm grateful that this year has given us a focus to be able to, you know, revisit and reexamine the life of St. Joseph. Of course, as you know, someone we both admire. Father Callaway, who created the devotion to St. Joseph, but we were so moved by it that our whole community took it up this year and did the consecration to St. Joseph. What I think is beautiful about your book is it'll give us, you know, as the years roll on, as we can go back to the, the consecration to St. Joseph, we have the ability to look at a silent night, St. Joseph and art and really rekindle and find those images that mean the most to us. And then what do what I did, which or Stephanie and I did together, which was we purchased a beautiful, large painting of St. Joseph that has all of the characteristics that are meaningful to me and to us that help us in our devotion. But we're going to head to a break. We're with Dr. Liz Lev talking about her book on St. Joseph and art, A Silent Night, and we'll be back right after the break. OK, very good. So you want to go to number two? Sure. OK. All right. Very good. On your mark, get set, go. This is Dan and Stephanie Burke with Divine Intimacy Radio, your radio Haven of Rest. And we're talking with Dr. Liz Lev about her new book, Silent Night, St. Joseph and Art. It's the conclusion of the year of St. Joseph. We're coming to a conclusion anyway. And it's been a beautiful year with we talked, I mentioned before the break, Father Calloway and his book Consecration to St. Joseph, which we've all in this studio have done and in our community has done. And I've really appreciated Liz, his resurrecting the manly kind of version of Joseph. He's got a beautiful painting of St. Joseph, Terror of Demons. How do you what's your take on some of the work he's commissioned? I have a tremendous admiration for Father Calloway, who I have not yet met. I'm just feeling really left out here. I'm sort of running around behind him from interview to interview. But I haven't yet met him. And he actually and the way I discovered him was that when I was really looking to the problem of Joseph today, because when you look at the landscape of art regarding Joseph today, yes, he's in every church. He's now your fixture in every church. But these sort of resin, blah, pastel statues, they look like you can't help it. It's supposed to be on top of a wedding cake. Or, you know, they don't they don't really inspire.  Yeah, embarrassing is a good word. And then I could cite the Vatican nativity scene from last year, but I think it's best. Yeah, God, someone's going to have to talk to Joseph about that some day. Anyway, the point being, we don't really have much of a landscape out there for Josephine art. And I very, very, very much appreciate what Father Calloway is doing because this is what must be done. Thinking about what Joseph would mean to us today, what he means to our society today and how to represent that by engaging artists today. And there are several artists who have really produced very beautiful images of Joseph, but that's only a beginning. I mean, it really needs in order for us to really find the imagery, the way that it comes out in this book. I mean, what I found out in this research is he really drastically changes because at times when the church is dealing with the problem of whether marriage is defined by consent or consummation, they turn to Joseph and then suddenly we have all these pictures of Joseph in this, in marrying the Virgin. Or when the church finds itself trying to relate to this beautiful strain of Northern art, where we try to relate to the immensity of the holiness of the incarnation. Just imagine us there. Like, what would it be like to. So there's Mary and she's giving birth to God and there's some angels. And what should I do? What are you going to do? And so there's a whole strain of art where Joseph is off doing something kind of goofy because he's trying to help. But, you know, he's like the little guy in the group. And that's a really, really beautiful way for us to enter into these huge events, this huge event, and to make us feel like we are, we have a role and we just kind of watch Joseph. It's these are in their endless numbers. I mean, again, the book is got totally out of hand. I thought it was going to be like this little bitty, like hundred pager and just kept going because I kept finding more veins of this goldmine of Josephine imagery. You know, what's fascinating about it is we look at Joseph and especially for the men, right? Because as women, we can look to him to be our protector and spiritual father and such. But for men, he really provides a model for behavior. And, you know, how how do these different? How can there be such a variety of images of St. Joseph when there were no words for him? None recorded in scripture. So, you know, what do we do? What do the men do? So I'd like the so 15 mentions, no lines. And he's out by chapter two of Matthew and Lou. So and I think that's his secret. Because he's not fixed into a character, he becomes this enigmatic figure that we can impress. He's like, he's like putting and we can impress everything we need on it. And I want to go a little step further and say, you know, the devotion to Joseph. I think one of the great gifts of St. Teresa of Avila is that she taught women how to go to Joseph. Yeah. Because Joseph is a man who deals. And I really, I meditated a lot on this during the pandemic. And really, Joseph became a figure to me during the pandemic where Joseph is a little guy who's got a huge responsibility in the times that he cannot control.   I think I'm going to have a census. You have these huge global tectonic powers that are affecting your life and you can't do a thing about it.  Joseph is like, OK, got to find a place for this woman to give birth. Got to find a way to get the family out of town. And he just quietly gets it done. And I, you know, I think as I was trying to put this book together, you know, in pandemic circumstances, under lockdown, no libraries open, trying to figure how many to get the research, how many to get the pictures. And I kept going to Joseph, like, yeah, man, it must have been hard. The resourcefulness. He's a very, very, very fascinating figure. Yeah, I know the other thing about St. Joseph in our time is there's this talk of toxic masculinity. And I think that we have the exact opposite problem. I think we have a toxic effeminacy in men. And I think it's it's one of the things that I really was, I don't know, moved by with Father Calloway's work. And of course, some of the artwork that he came out with. And some of what you have in the book is just recovering a holy masculinity, because masculinity in of itself is not problematic. It's the misuse of it, you know, but I think the biggest problem in our time is weakness among men, not strength. Yeah, and I think we have to consider that probably the most masculine, most important aspect of him was his obedience to God, the father, you know, his faithfulness, his docility to God, the father. And in that, he became the fullness of masculinity because he's completely given over to the father and then he gets up and he completes his duty according to the will of the father. There's no wrangling. There's no whining. There's no complaining. There's no giving all the excuses why this cannot happen because of the kings and the powers to be in all the things that Liz described. But rather, God, the father desires this, therefore, I will do it. Cumbent may, right, which is such a precursor to who Christ Jesus is. God, the father desires this. He wills it. Therefore, his will be done in all things, you know, even death on the cross. So such a beautiful example for men. Amen. Amen. So Liz, as you were doing this book, we're talking to Liz Lab. Just as a reminder, she's written a new book, Great Play on Words and the titles A Silent Night, K-N-I-G-H-T. I really like that, St. Joseph in Art. Liz, were there any surprises for you as you as you did this, like images that, you know, struck you in a way that you didn't expect or that renewed your your connection to him? The amount of surprises, it's incredible. The I found images in South American images from Cusco School, where you see Joseph taking in, taking on the positioning of Mary. So he, so these very old images of Mary of Mercy, who has this mantle that brings people together. Joseph suddenly starts to take that, take that, that type of imagery. And actually, it was very, very interesting. What was the timeframe of that? That's 18th century. OK. And there are also this strain of Northern European images where, you know, Joseph is like on his hands and knees, blowing out a fire, trying to get things warm in the cave in Bethlehem. Very, very interesting image and really interesting articles written about Joseph, where Joseph is working with a mousetrap. He's building a mousetrap and he's got them all around. And this kind of imagery talks about Joseph, who's like an ally of God in his work and with that. He's trying to fool the devil. He's the snare for the devil. So the devil's so busy going, well, that can't be it, because that's his father. That in the meantime, the project for salvation progresses. There is a little thing I wanted to I was just thinking about when you were talking about sort of this role of Joseph and Mary and the toxic masculinity. It's a really beautiful example of how complementarity can play out between men and women.  You know, my soul magnifies the Lord and Mary, Mary, Mary, Mary, Mary. But after a while, angels only talk to Joseph. After after that enunciation and after like the the the John the Baptist jumping for joy at the visitation, there's really, you know, Mary just didn't know no more angelic communication. All goes to Joseph. Interesting. So, you know, I'm not a god here. How come nobody talks to me? So it's a really interesting way about how this couple works together. And by the way, every time Joseph has a dream, Mary's got to get up and run after him, right? So it's like, oh, no, time to go to Egypt. Oh, no, time to go back. I have a friend who said Mary at a certain point was probably just like plying Joseph with coffee. Please don't go to sleep. Please don't go to sleep. Please don't go to sleep. But but this this idea of these this man and this woman who are working together on this project and even though kind of the emphasis shifts, it's very, very interesting to see how they just think about how they work together. It's such an example for marriage. You know, if you talk about the intimacy of marriage and partnership and companionship and and emotional intimacy that they in themselves in that communication have such unity, such a beautiful depiction of what marriage should be working together, right? The husband leading spiritually. So, you know, what do you hope that your readers will take away from this after reading this book? I hope that readers will, first of all, see the wealth that St. Joseph has been to the church and to the faithful over over a thousand years. And I think Joseph and I think Father Kalloway feels the same way as patron of the Universal Church. He is perfectly poised to address many of our modern ills, whether it's the toxic masculinity lack of fatherhood or what I loved in Pope Francis's Patrice Corday, that word creative courage, finding solutions for problems in a creative way in what you have around you. That resourcefulness of Joseph. There's so much that he can give our age right now. And to help us understand that, I would really love to see a renaissance of art of Joseph. I would love to see people, as across the board, you know, people talk to me about why don't we have these beautiful artists any more? Well, we're not going to have beautiful artists if people don't commission it and people don't look at it and people don't learn to love it and to understand it. And so I'm hoping that this will be a wonderful occasion to start creating a Josephine imagery, whether it's in films like the Nativity or paintings or statues that make Joseph more present in our daily life and not that little plastic statue that we just kind of walk by as we take our place in the view. Amen to that, Dr. Elizabeth Lev, a silent night, St. Josephine art, you can find that once it's gets through the supply chain challenges, you can find that at EWTN's religious catalog, you can find it at Sophie Institute Press. Sophie is just producing greatest books on the planet. You can find it at spiritualdirection.com forward slash shop. So you don't have to worry about finding it it's a matter of when you'll get it. But I think it's a great Christmas gift if you get it before Christmas or a great gift afterwards anyway for those who are continuing their annual consecration to St. Joseph. So great to have you with us again, Liz, and thank you for your good work and resurrecting the beauty of the church and repurposing it to us to all of us who need it so desperately. OK, until next time. May the God of peace make you perfect in holiness. May he preserve you whole and entire. Spirit, soul and body irreproachable at the coming of our Lord. Jesus Christ. Amen. Amen. Keep us alive if you would. So thanks again, Liz. It's really appreciate you being on. I forgot to do some commercials, so I got to jump into that or some opportunities for formation for folks. But great to have you with us again. Yes, thank you so much. Thank you so much. It was a pleasure. Great conversation. Bye. Awesome. Take care. So hey, I just want to tell you guys we've got an advent webinar coming up for you. If you want to have a different kind of advent instead of kind of just rolling in and getting lost in all the junk, we have an amazing priest, and I don't say that lightly. He I've I discovered his goodness, holiness, I guess, at an event we're at when he was praying a particular prayer that surprised me at the event that is not known to a lot of people. But I knew what he was doing as he was walking around the sanctuary, both Stephanie and I did. And then so. But we found out later how extraordinary, how exceptional he is. His name is Father John Burns, and we're going to do an advent webinar with him. You can find that sign up for that's free spiritualdirection.com forward slash events. It's going to be Tuesday, November 23rd at 7 p.m. Central. So head out spiritualdirection.com forward slash events. You can sign up for that webinar. It's free and you'll be really, really blessed by him. He's doing some great work in the church. Three things for Christmas gifts that can help your loved ones be holier, which is we don't think about that for Christmas, but that's what it really should be about is getting holier, drawing near to Jesus. So three things I want to tell you about. There's a divine intimacy and marriage retreat in February. And there's a pilgrimage to the Holy Land at the end of May to June and the Avala Summit in July, which is going to be on spiritual warfare. All three of these events would be amazing Christmas gifts, Christmas gifts. Yeah, because so the retreat in February, obviously, if you're for the guys, you know, guys usually by this time of the year, running out of points in the inventory, you know, the secret guy points stuff. And if you want your wife to be really blessed and feel very loved and cared for and work on beautiful intimacy in your marriage, right? All of the right kinds of and we don't make guys do goofy stuff. And no, no, but retreat pilgrimage to the Holy Land. Of course, that stands without having to explain the value of that. May to June and then the Avala Summit in July and spiritual warfare with Father Chad Ripperger and many other exorcists. So help us understand how to fight the good fight in these tough times. spiritualdirection.com forward slash events. We hope to see you there. OK. All right. That's it. God bless. Take care.


What's up everybody I'm the Mangus, you were awesome and today I want to talk about OverPrime. They recently released a gameplay video that shows some of the work they've done since the last time we were able to get our hands on the game. I'll link the original video in the description if you want to check that out. Today I want to not only go over the changes, but also to cover OverPrime in general since that because of the predecessor stress test, people are starting to realize that Paragon is being brought back by not only one, but three different companies. All in their sort of own little way. Omega with predecessor, Strange Matter with Fault and our topic for today, Team Solive with OverPrime who plans to have an 11 day closed beta test soon. No date for that announced yet. OverPrime differs from the other three by paying homage to the classic Legacy Paragon map but making massive changes to gameplay mechanics.  With that being said, it's still a MOBA. You still have assigned lanes in a jungle where you'll need to outfarm your opponent in order to buy items and grow in power. While many of the Paragon's successor projects talk about console ports, Team Solive are the only ones that have shown themselves playing the game on the PS5, or at least as much as they can show without violating Sony's terms of agreement. Now let's walk through this video that released and point out some key features. I should note that the video is in Korean as Solive is based in Korea but there are several languages available for the game. We start with character select and they have picked Sparrow. OverPrime is using Paragon assets, however they've changed all the names. I think Sparrow is called Evelyn or some shit? I'm not sure it could be the fact that the names they picked sound like they threw darts at a baby named Boke from 1935. If you can get past that, they do plan to add all of the old Paragon heroes into the game eventually as well as their own creations. They're almost finished with their first original hero, Adele. They're also collaborating with Metaverse Entertainment to include virtual celebrities. I'm still a... I still don't know how I feel about that. Shinbi is the only idol I need and they already have her in the game, so... Anyway, back to Sparrow. The loading screen is a pretty cool animation of a capsule being deployed from orbit to the battlefield below. Solive plans to create their own lore for the game and are currently working on a Netflix series starting their lineup. So far we know it has something to do with a tree, several revenant encounters. OverPrime is going with a standard MOBA item system just like all of the other pair zombies. We can see from this video that they have seriously upgraded the appearance of the shop UI as well as the items themselves. The first beta test items look kinda like clip art, but these items are really... they look pretty damn good. The UI has been updated quite a bit. The normal UI is a bit cleaner and the scoreboard has been simplified and includes the map in the center. Sparrow is currently in travel mode, therefore running faster than normal. You can activate travel mode yourself at any time as long as you're not in combat. Getting hit while in travel mode though, it applies a route. You get rooted if you get hit. It also looks like they added a ping system to the game with two options on the ping like a thumbs up or a sad face. I guess you can let people know, hey, I'm coming or hey, watch out. Also, as you can see, Sparrow went from her inhib straight to a tower, no tier 2 towers in between. On the right side was a Shadowwell. These were in Paragon and would have caught... well, these were in Legacy Paragon and would cause you to go invisible to anyone outside the well. They function exactly like bushes in a top down MOBA. There are also actual bushes scattered throughout the map that serve the same function. While the Sparrow's basic abilities are unlocked already, you can unlock your ultimate ability at level 6.  You just no longer have to decide what to unlock first.  The core and towers have been redesigned. They still function like they normally do. They've just been reskinned. This is true of most objectives in Over Prime. The lane and jungle minions have been reskinned as well as Red buff, Blue buff, Raptor and the Prime Guardian. Speaking of skins, Soulweave has been cracking out amazing new skins for the heroes. Like better than Epic's tier 4 skins. You can see right there the Sparrow enters travel mode and then gets rooted by a Bellica basic attack. Not that it really matters because she just kind of turns and burns and forces Bellica to attempt to flee through the bushes, but you get the idea. You can kind of see the minion that serves as the raptor here. I'll put up some of my old gameplay footage so you get a better look at it. This gave me a stacking team wide buff if I remember correctly. You can briefly see the portal in the background. The side lanes each have a portal that takes you from one side of the map to the other. This was a gold buff the last time I played Over Prime. No clue what it does now, I don't speak Korean so I don't know what it says on the side. Here we have the new Red buff, Mob. She's going to come down here and the new jungle minions. They improve the way informational timers are relayed in this updated version of the game. You can see the circles very clearly for each camp as well as a countdown for when the enemy inhibitor will respawn. Nice little tour of the map as Sparrow heads to Orb Prime. Prime Guardian has been reskinned, it looks like a giant mechanical mushroom monster. Now notice they don't get the buff immediately, so we've brought the Prime Dunk mechanic back with a twist. You can see the person holding the orb heading to the dunk pit. Once they dunk it, the Prime Guardian spawns in the middle of the map and pushes down the lane for you, and it provides a buff and a radius around it. And that's Over Prime. While I did find that their games were shorter than average, none of mine went this fast. That's Sparrow was laying it down. I'm pretty excited to get back into Over Prime. The little bit of time we had with it during the last close beta test was just fun as all hell. Of course the game is not without its problems, I'll post the link to my final thoughts on Over Prime and my end card. But it's fun to watch and it's fun to play. If you're interested in learning more about the game, I'll have their socials linked in the description as well as a pinned comment below, or you can just sub to my channel where I try to give unbiased coverage on all the pair of zombies and ethereal. I also have a podcast called For the Minions with Jelly Knees and a rotating guest, where we discuss any updates for these games and that airs every Friday. Please like the video if you enjoyed it, but for now this is the mangu signing off you guys. Have a good one. Gooooooooooooooooooooooos. Special shout out to channel members Fullish, Bloodhunter, Jelly Knees, Meow, Mix4Min, Stunt, Farith, and Raven.


In this video, John and myself will be breaking down the biggest opportunity of the month where you could have made an easy six figure trade using option or even just the stock. So as usual, all the best tools will be linked in description. Don't forget to check that out. Let's get right in. But for me, price is the only thing that matters. That's just the way I trade. Knowing that there's a catalyst is important. You know, and as we saw from the MSDR trade, just because price doesn't confirm your thesis right away, there's always a second opportunity on a larger time frame. You just have to wait for price to consolidate and tighten before you get that continuation move or the setup for continuation move. And for me, that's what would have happened on the five or the 15 minute chart.  Yeah, that's kind of unfortunate. So for me, what I did is I took the trade, which was the it's an NYC stock. So the open was delayed. It came at around, I don't know, 931, 932. So I took as soon as we open and I saw NYC on the level two, I got short just because the prints were all going down. And I was thinking that in the pre-market, I tried it also here, but liquidity was so bad. And I knew that if there's any big player that wants to get out of this, there was no chance with that little liquidity in the pre-market. So it had to be done mainly at the open, which I thought with that type of catalyst, I was looking at the report that came out somewhere here. Seems really bad compared to most. A lot of reports are sometimes very fluffy. And you know, there was a nice little pop on the open. And I thought that when we got this down move, it was just a good way to enter versus I would say just 98 playing very, very tight on it that if it's bad, it should go down right away. And it was something very unique about this one is how directional it was. It was very perfect in terms of trades. And this might not look like a big move because we know it made such an even bigger move, but we can really see that it's somewhere between 97 and even if you cover it around the 86, it's a big trade. It's a very, very nice trade. And I was pretty happy with it. And I haven't been trading well. So when we saw this chop, I decided to just leave it off screen thinking that it wasn't really going to do much. It's already down quite a lot from 105 to 84. And I wasn't tracking it. And I think that's where being a higher time frame trader like you are with is always, it's always interesting because you also are you often I would say miss the initial move or miss is a quote unquote initial move. But you're always there when the stock makes the big move. It's counterintuitive. And it's pretty interesting. So when we come to the higher time frame or even this trade, would you consider taking the open trade on this? Or you would rather just for a bigger setup? Just because I'm a higher time frame trader doesn't mean I can I'll take trades if there's a good pre market base. I just don't see a good pre market base here. And we've talked about other trades where there's been a good pre market base, and then I'll get long or short based on the direction basically, using the pre market action. But you want like you said, you want to see more volume, you want to see that there's significant price action and people playing with the stock in the pre market. And, you know, maybe you could maybe I would short 94s on that on that after the NYC opens, after that first candle, but you're risking four bucks, right? And, you know, I believe in the measured move, and I don't like to use a measured move thesis here, with such low with such low volume in the in the pre market. But that's kind of how if I was going to trade a base, that's the base that I would use basically 94 by 98. Because you have to risk, you know, you have to to to size yourself so you can risk properly. So I'd probably use I probably wouldn't use that candle, I probably use the high of the candle where yeah, just because that's when NYC opened. So that's why I would use that one.  It's down it's down $10 on the day. You know, if you look at the daily really quickly, it's kind of in a free fall. Right? It was kind of you know, the daily was very weak as it is. So maybe you have those two spots. But you know, that's going back far, you know, that's going back pretty far on the chart. And being being that's a name that was, you know, watching the level two was really thin. You know, I probably wouldn't I probably wouldn't trade that opening drive. That's what I would expect, expect from you pretty much as an answer. You know, this was a good trade. But once again, as the MSTR, I think trading this with with option was really the play and probably not for the initial move. Just because we have a gap down the premium is going to be pretty, pretty random at this point, it might just be really jacked on one and then getting crushed on the other depending on what the price action does. But how would you think the real trade was or how would you maximize this opportunity in a sense? Now, if you were at your desk first, that would have been if you go back to go back to the five minute real quick, right? So now anyone who's watched our videos knows that I'm a believer in the measured move. So basically, the stock opened at 100 and trades down to 83. So you're looking at a seven, you know, basically a $16 move. So and so the difference with this is is the base here happens a little bit higher than the low of the day, right? So I would say that the base is really that 90 to 8750 area. And I would instead of drawing a horizontal line, I would draw a diagonal line in this case. Like a wedge? Yeah, kind of like a wedge. And it's not my normal trade, but that's just what sets up, right?  Sometimes it's going to be a perfect little flag. Sometimes it's a rectangle. But that's how I would kind of set up the trade, just because those tight candles were failing at view up. So if you're not comfortable with that wedge, I'm not as comfortable with wedges as like the flag as a perfect flag. So I'm going to risk like half half are probably there, maybe three quarters are. And then maybe I'm adding another quarter R when it breaks that that mid tier low, right? Those three wicks that say 88. Yep. So then I'm going to add another a little another piece of risk there. And then depending on what I see happen at the low of the day, I'll probably cover some into the low of the day. And then and then you see that you get two or three tight five minute candles there. I'm probably adding back that risk when that happens. And the reason for that is just because of that measure move thesis. So if you draw the rectangle, if you bring that rectangle down from the original move, you're looking for a move into the 70s, right? Yeah, around the 74. Yeah. And so the big thing about this is like no one could ever predict it was going to go this make this huge move, right? And, you know, you can see some really big options flow really come in when at that at that flag, at the low of the day on the five minute 85, right around 1130. Yep. The two five minute can't those two green five minute candles like 1130.  And, you know, that's that could be that's the extra conviction that you have to get more size or put on more risk or make the trade with options. Looking for that move into the low 70s. Sorry for the interruption. But as usual, if you enjoyed the video, like and subscribe. I also did link all the best tools for day trading in the description. Don't forget to check that out. Let's get back to the video. One of the one of the trailing strategies that we've talked about is just a simple five minute candle, high break. And you don't get it, right? You just you don't really get it at any point. Maybe maybe the 80. You can cover some there. But just look at that that blue moving average you have, which is probably I think the eight or the nine, maybe the 10. Yeah, it's the 10. Yeah. But just look how it just hugs it doesn't it never even tests it. There's a price action. It just it's tight controlled price action where there's no it doesn't give the stocks not telling you that you that you need to or should be taking profit. It doesn't really start picking up speed until that 76 to 70 move.


The first talk is going to be on leakage-resilience zero knowledge by Sanjam Garg, Abhishek Jain, and Amit Sakhai. And Sanjam is going to give a talk. Hi. Thanks, Shafgani, for the introduction. Today I'm going to talk about leakage-resilience zero knowledge. This is joint work with Abhishek Jain and Amit Sakhai at UCLA. So traditionally, when we talk of cryptography, we allow the Adverse 3 access to devices in a well-specified input-output behavior. So it can send behavior according to this well-specified interaction. But as it turns out, this is not always the case. An adversary can potentially, in certain cases, obtain additional information about the secret that is possessed by a cryptographic system, and which could ultimately lead to the total collapse of the security of the system. And this is what is dealt in the area of leakage-resilience cryptography, where we allow the Adverse 3 some kind of additional access to the cryptographic system. And it can obtain additional information about the secrets that are held in this device. So a lot of prior work has happened in this exciting area of leakage-resilience cryptography. But it has focused towards leakage-resilient primitives and to temper resilient and leakage-resilient circuits. However, on the side of leakage-resilient interactive protocols, the work has been severely limited, especially in terms of the kind of leakage that is permitted in these protocol settings. In this work, we focus in the setting where we allow leakage on the entire state of the honest parties. During the protocol execution, it can be arbitrary kinds of leakage. Any time, there is no restriction. So that is the focus of this work, and this is how it departs from previous work. So when we talk of protocols, zero-knowledge is a very fundamental notion in interactive protocol, and it makes sense to study leakage-resilient in the context of zero-knowledge-proof protocols. So let me give you a brief overview of the setting. So in a zero-knowledge-proof system, you have a prover and a verifier. And the prover is trying to convince the verifier about the validity of the statement X. You can think X as a graph, and the prover is trying to convince the verifier, let's say that this graph is Hamiltonian. And we require in the setting the security against the cheating verifier, shown by red hair. We require that this cheating verifier should not learn anything beyond the validity of X. So in particular, in the example I gave, it should not learn anything more than the fact that the graph X is Hamiltonian. This is formalized by saying that for every cheating verifier, there exists the simulator S that simulates the view of this cheating verifier. OK, so let's, moving on to the setting of leakage, we want to allow this cheating verifier, in addition to the ability to interact with the prover in this protocol, with the ability to obtain certain leakage information from the prover. And how he does that is he's allowed to send leakage queries any time during the protocol. So you can think of this as a function or a circuit that the verifier sends to the prover. And the prover evaluates this function or circuit on its entire state. In particular, the input, that's the witness corresponding to the statement, and all the random coins that have been used in the protocol so far. So he evaluates this function or circuit and sends it back to the verifier. So I've shown it by just one leakage query, but you can think of arbitrary number of leakage queries which are adaptive and can happen anytime during the protocol execution. So in this setting, if you wanted to guarantee that the verifier cannot learn anything beyond validity of the statement x, it seems unreasonable because if you just thought of the, you can think of f as an identity function. And in this case, this function will leak the entire witness. And so we cannot hope of achieving the standard notion of zero knowledge. But before we move on to what can be achieved or what we hope to achieve, the question to, there are some models that have been considered that I want to briefly touch on and say a few words. So one possible model you could consider is only computation leaks in information model. In this, information is only leaked when some kind of computation is performed. But as it turns out, this model is often problematic in certain application scenarios as has been shown earlier. And so we don't want to consider this weakening, but I also want to stress that even if you were to assume this model, we have an impossibility result that you cannot achieve standard notion of zero knowledge. Another notion could be to have some kind of a pre-processing phase where the prover can do some leak-free pre-processing and the point here to note is again, this limits applicability and we don't want to limit ourselves to by having a leak-free phase before the protocol, anytime during the protocol or after the protocol. And again, just like in the computation, normally leaks information model, if you were to only assume leak-free pre-processing, again, we can argue that it would be impossible to achieve the standard notion of zero knowledge. So again, before I say actual definition, let me summarize what we want. We want to have a setting where we can leak in the entire state of the prover anytime during the protocol. We don't want any leak-free phases and we want a meaningful notion that is useful in applications scenarios. As I mentioned earlier, we cannot achieve the standard zero knowledge guarantee just because the simulator has no way of simulating queries which are directly related to the witness. So we will have to, in some sense, relax the definition. So the goal is to be able to simulate these leakage queries. And to help the simulator achieve this, we're going to allow the simulator access to a witness oracle. So witness oracle, the simulator has access to this oracle that is in possession of this witness and the simulator can obtain responses to queries from this witness oracle. And we are hoping that simulator is going to be able to use this witness oracle in being able to simulate these leakage queries. So we have a kind of a real ideal paradigm where the ideal world is also leaky. That is in particular, as I said, it can obtain leakage about the witness. Now, of course, this function F, which the simulator queries the witness oracle, could be the identity function, and the simulator could leak the entire witness, in which case it can trivially simulate the protocol, and wouldn't achieve what we desire. That is to help the simulator. We want to help use this witness oracle only in simulating these queries. So we want to restrict the simulator's ability to use this witness oracle. And how are we going to do it? We're going to limit how much leakage he can obtain from this witness oracle in the ideal world. So in the ideal world, we want to consider limiting this leakage. And of course, it has to be in correspondence with the amount of leakage that happens in the real world. So it should be in some sense proportional. So for that, you can consider any function. We consider a simple linear function where lambda is the leakage parameter, and the total leakage in the ideal world is bounded by lambda times the total leakage that happens in the real world. So you can see if this parameter is close to one, then we can say that the verifier in the real world learns nothing beyond the validity of the statement X and the leak information. So he does learn something more, but the protocol itself and the leakage are not conveying something more than what the leakage alone is conveying. So this idea of having a leaky ideal world notion wherein you have a witness oracle in the ideal world is not completely new, and goes to the idea of knowledge complexity introduced by Goldreich and Petrank in 1991. And the crucial difference, however, in our setting is that in their setting, the protocol inherently leaked information. The idea of the witness oracle was to help in the simulation of the protocol that was inherently leaking information. In our case, the leakage is because of side channel attacks. Our protocol doesn't leak any information. It is to simulate the side channel leakage in the side channel attacks that we need the ideal oracle. If there is no leakage happening in the protocol, then we would not need any ideal oracle in the simulation. So at this point, I also want to stress a point of leakage oblivious simulation. So I mentioned briefly that we are trying to restrict the simulator's ability in using the witness oracle and so that it uses it only in simulating the leakage queries. And we want to restrict it even further in the sense that we don't want the simulator to actually see the answers of the leakage queries, but just to query and send the responses back. So for every leakage query that happens in the real world, he'll massage that query and send it to the witness oracle, obtain the response and that is sent back directly to the cheating verifier. The simulator does not get to look at the answer. So this kind of stronger properties needed for some applications. I'm not going to talk a lot about it. You can look into the paper for that. So now getting to our results. The main result in our paper is a leakage resilient zero-knowledge interactive proof system based on general assumptions where the leakage parameter lambda is one plus epsilon for any constant, small constant epsilon that you want. And in fact, we show that for any, that this parameter is optimal in the sense that you cannot do anything better than one. So to the best of our knowledge, this is the first positive result on handling arbitrary leakage during protocol execution. The second result that we have is on leakage resilient non-interactive zero-knowledge proofs. This is also under standard assumptions. Finally, I want to briefly point to you about the exciting concurrent work by Pzonski, Kennedy, and Halevi. We also have some applications of our results. The first application is to universal composable secure multi-party computation. So in the universal composable setting, a composable multi-party computation setting, we know that we need a trusted setup to achieve this kind of composability guarantees. And the known results are known, we know results based on temporary proof hardware, but in all these works, the assumption is that the tokens that are used are completely temporary resilient. In this work, we relax this assumption and say that even if you could leak certain information from the tokens, you could still achieve UC. The second result that we have is on fully leakage resilient signatures in boundary leakage and continental leakage model. This result is not new. This was only recently presented in several papers. However, the key point that we have new is that our scheme is also secure in the noisy leakage model with the earlier schemes were not. So let me get back to the technical part and touch on the core technical part that we have is the one plus epsilon leak is really in zero knowledge proof system. So as I mentioned earlier, the goal is to be able to simulate these leakage queries that happened during the interaction. And for that we have the witness are equal to help the simulator in achieving that. And then in doing so, the simulator must be consistent with the past actions. So what I mean by that is, the leakage might happen at a point after certain steps in the protocol have happened. And then the responses of these leakage queries must be consistent with the past actions. Furthermore, this leakage and then the protocol itself should not reveal to the verifier that simulator is cheating or fooling the verifier in the interaction. So in particular, you can think of this function to be the identity function. I love the identity function. And in this case, it would in particular leak the input that's the witness for the statement and all the random coins. And this might sound something like just corrupting the prover at this point. And this is actually the case because if you're given the entire state to the cheating verifier, then that means that given the input and the random coins, the together should explain the actions of the simulator just as an honest prover strategy. So what I mean by that is, given this input and the random coins, if the prover followed the honest prover strategy, then it should generate the exact same messages as were generated in the protocol. This sounds very similar to adaptive security. And then the key question would be, can we use adaptive security to achieve leakage resilience? To say a little bit on that, I would recall a little bit about adaptive security. So in adaptive security setting, Adversi can corrupt any party during the protocol execution as it wishes. And whenever a party P is corrupted, the Adversi learns the entire state, the input and the random coins of the prover. And given now the job of the simulator who is simulating this honest party P in the interaction is that whenever this party P gets corrupted, it must generate, produce the input and the associated random coins. It gets the input at that point as input. It must generate random coins such that it's consistent with the transcript. Just like the previous setting, given the input and the random coins and following the honest prover strategy, the same messages that were sent in the protocol must have been sent generated in the transcript. So this can be achieved using standard technique or the equivocal commitments. I'll just get to equivocal commitments in a bit. So the question is, can adaptive security be used to get leakage resilience? So let's consider a simple example and try to see from there how it goes. So let's consider the simple example of graph Hamiltonian city where both the prover and the verifier have this graph in their head. And the prover is trying to convince the verifier that this graph is Hamilton. So he takes the same graph and he randomly permutes this graph and he generates a commitment to the graph which he sends to the verifier. At this point, the verifier sends a bit B and the prover, if the bit B is zero, just opens all the commitments and proves that this is a random permutation of the original graph. And if the bit B is one, he opens the cycle in the graph. And this protocol can be argued to be zero-knowledge protocol with some modifications. And then to make this protocol adaptively secure, if the simulator was to use EQ, if the protocol, if you used EQ vocal commitments in the protocol, this protocol would be adaptively secure. Just let's see how. So the simulator would behave in the same way with just randomly permute the graph, generate EQ vocal commitments and send it to the verifier. The property of the EQ vocal commitments is that the simulator can open any value in any way he wishes at any point. So he can open the value to zero or one as he wishes in the protocol. So he sends this EQ vocal commitment to the verifier and as you can think, because the simulator has this ability to magically open anything to anything he wants, it would be adaptively secure. But the problem with leakage resilient is that what if a leakage query happens before the challenge bit B is actually sent? In this setting, the simulator must open and this challenge query could actually, this leakage query could leak certain information about the openings and at this point, the simulator must remain consistent during this response to the leakage query and the response that it sends later on without actual knowledge of the bit B and which turns out to be problematic and hard to achieve in our setting. So the question, as it turns out, so because of these reasons, adaptive security does not imply leakage resilience and just to recap on why that's the case. So the point is that in case of adaptive security, there is no need to simulate a party after the corruption happens. So after a party piece corrupted, I just provide random points and input and my job is done. But in case of leakage resilience, even after a party is corrupted, in some sense partially corrupted, that is some information about its random status leak, I still must continue to simulate my future actions and without knowledge of what was leaked and there could be future leakage as well and the future messages must be consistent with the previous leakage. The future leakage messages must also be consistent with the previous leakage. So the key idea that we have is to have two ways for the simulator to cheat. One way of cheating would be to allow the simulator to cheat in the protocol messages, the other method would be to allow for cheating in the leakage queries. We need to make sure that since there is a delicate balance between the two techniques interact that the simulator does not step on its own feet in using the two techniques together. The second method of cheating that we use is not new, it's we just extract these challenge for simulation. The interesting part is that we need to use both the techniques simultaneously in our protocol to achieve leakage resilience. Further, as I mentioned, we wanted a precise bound on the amount of leakage that happens in the real world, in the ideal world with respect to the amount of leakage that is squared in the real world and for that we use ideas from Mikali Pass for precise simulation and it allows us to get a tight bound on the amount of leakage that happens. The second result that we have is on leakage resilience non-interactive zero knowledge proofs. As I said, the problem with leakage resilience interactive proofs was that I had to simulate even after a leakage query happened, but in the case of non-interactive proofs, this problem does not arise because by definition, these proofs are non-interactive and therefore the problem that adaptive security does not imply leakage resilience does not come up and therefore adaptive resilience implies leakage resilience. So you could pick up any off the shelf adaptively secure leakage resilience in this proof system like GOS and it would automatically be leakage resilience and I have four seconds left, thank you. Well, the next speaker is setting up. We have time for a quick question. All right, so let's thanks and jam again.


Hello everybody! With this video to find out how to recover data from a crashed RAID system if its Dell H310 controller broke down, and how to recover data from SAS from SAS drives.  When the controller is down, your RAID is no longer operable, and your data cannot be accessed. There is a wide variety of things that may knock out a controller. Overfailers, all kinds of damage, defects, and even rock configuration. As a result, you lose access to important files, documents, or media content. If you face this kind of problem, don't give way to despair. There are certain methods and tools to help you cope with the problem and restore access to your data. We will start a situation when all problems are caused by the faulty Dell H310 controller, and find out how to retrieve data from a crashed RAID system. Just suppose you have taken all possible steps to make sure that all troubles are caused by the controller. If the controller is not to blame, don't worry, this tutorial is good for any scenario when information is lost from hard disks. For better understanding of the recover process, let's explore how to create a RAID system on this specific device. When creating a disk RAID, we'll pay attention to the settings you may need to know in the course of recovery. To build a RAID system, open the controller's bias. For this model, use the key shortcut Ctrl-R. When the hardware is initialized, the bias window appears. In the Virtual Disk Management tab, VD Management, you will see the connected drives. To create a new array, press F2 on your keyboard. Then choose Create New VD. In the Virtual Disk Manager window, the opens select the RAID level using the arrow keys to navigate the list, as well as the Enter and Tab keys. Press Space to select a disk. Select the level, choose disks, give it a virtual disk name and add advanced settings if necessary. Take note of array parameters. You may need to enter them during the recovery process. For confirmation, jump to the OK button and press Enter. As a result, you will see a warning that all data on this virtual disk will be erased, so click OK to confirm it. After that, the process of disk initialization begins. When it's over, restart the computer. And now the RAID is ready for work. Now that we have examined and remembered RAID system settings, let's explore the recovery process.  To restore the RAID operability, you will need a controller of exactly the same model, which will allow you to rebuild the crashed RAID with the alt configuration and without losing any data. Also, you can try using a compatible controller model, which can upload a third-party configuration and restore the RAID. However, before taking any steps in this direction, you should study this topic carefully, because any mistake can make the recovery process even more complicated. If you don't have a chance to replace the controller, while the replacement operation didn't help you to rebuild the crashed array, use a specialized recovery tool – Hetman RAID Recovery. This utility supports all popular RAID types, mixed file systems and various array patterns used by various RAID controllers. For data recovery, you need to connect all the hard disks to the motherboard of a Windows computer. If there are SAS drives, you will need special adapters or, for example, an HBA controller, which allows to connect the drives directly without using the RAID technology. When connecting the disks with a RAID controller that supports direct connection, you need to clear the alt configuration to switch BIOS to non-RAID mode. As a result, it may complicate the recovery process since this operation erases the beginning of the disk and destroys serious information required to identify RAID settings. On the other hand, an HBA controller lets you connect the drives directly without clearing the RAID configuration. Having connected the disks, check if the program recognized all connected devices. If only some of them are displayed, open the Disk Management app and review the list. If the system can't see all the disks, you will have to connect them one by one and create disk images and then recover data from those images. To create a disk image, right-click on a disk and choose Save Disk. Make sure that the option to save the entire disk is active and click Next. Choose to save it to hard disk. Give the password to save the image. You can also save it to a network folder, click Save. Having saved the images for each disk, you should mount them in the utility. Click the Tools menu, Mount Disk, Raw Images, select the disks and click Open. As a result, the utility will use the images, as deeply were physical disks, to rebuild the RAID automatically. Select it and check its parameters below to see if the utility has built it correctly. These are the same properties that we looked at when the array was created a bit earlier. If the program rebuilt the array correctly, right-click on the volume and choose Open. Choose the search type FastCAN or Full Analysis. For more simple cases, FastCAN is enough. You can see that the program has no difficulty in rebuilding the RAID from the saved SES images and finding the files that used to be stored on the disk array. It has also found the files that have been deleted. They are marked with Red Cross. You can use the Preview window to see their contents. Select all the items you want to recover and click the Recovery button. Choose the path where to save them, choose the Disk Confolder and click Recover again. When the recovery process is over, you will see all the files in the specified directory. In some situations, the program may fail to rebuild the RAID automatically. It can happen when the service information on the disk is erased, so the program cannot identify parameters of the crashed RAID. For such situations, the program has the manual mode for rebuilding with a RAID constructor. The feature will help you rebuild the array if you cleared a third party configuration or erased the beginning of the disk. To use this mode, you need to know all the information about the array. Open the constructor. Choose manual mode. Specify the properties RAID Level, Block Order and Size. Add the disks it used to include. You may have to specify the offset, which tells you where the beginning of the disk is located. After that, give the disk order.  Any fault properties are correct, you will see its folders here. Click Add, and it will appear in the Drive Manager immediately. Now start the scan, search for files and recover the ones you need. Data recovery after RAID controller failure is a task that requires special attention. If you are not too confident of your skills, then it's better to contact professionals. Any wrong actions can erase the remaining information completely. I hope that our advice and recommendations will help you restore access to important files and minimize losses. And that is all for now. I hope this information was useful for you. Remember to click the Like button and subscribe to our channel. Thank you for watching. Good luck.
