That's slow. You just be aware that there's a lot of hole thrown around. On your road here, you're going to have some pretty bad issues with that. That's why they're made to supply russet. We are requesting to push to TLZ.


Thanks for checking out this review video. So this is for creep show season 2 Specifically, this is for episode 1 of creep show season 2 My plan here is to do what I did with the first season, which is review every single episode, which includes two stories for each Probably about 25 minutes each if they end up being like the first season and like the first episode of the second season I'm also planning at that at the end to do a wrap-up like I did for the first season of My ranking of all the stories from season 2 and then I think after that I'm going to also do a ranking like a full ranking that will include season 1 season 2 and all the special Stories that have been done as well. So that's my plan. Just letting you know so What is going on with episode 1 of season 2? I will say right off the bat. It's good to see the creep back again I've I definitely enjoyed season 1 But it was one of those situations where it felt kind of half and half on the stories where half the stories It was like a and the other half. I was like, oh, that's good. I enjoyed that So if episode 1 of season 2 is any indicator of where we're headed Better even better than season 1. Hopefully that continues One of the stories really enjoyed the other story enjoyed quite a bit. So yeah, I'm gonna talk about that But I cannot give synopsis. So I can't do that for any of the creep show stories because I mean I Was asked to but also it makes sense because if I give a synopsis These are such short stories are like 25 minutes a piece that just a quick synopsis can end up giving a lot away So no synopsis, but I'll tell you the title of the stories So the first one for episode 1 of season 2 is called model kid Directed by Greg Nicotero who also has obviously done a bunch of walking dead stuff. That's what he's best known for Apparently, there's also a walking dead movie coming. It says in the IMDb credits for him untitled walking dead movie we'll see Then for creep show he's he directed the stories gray matter the finger Which is one of my favorites survivor type Twitterings from the circus of the dead and shapeshifters anonymous, which I think is my favorite right now It's close between that and the second story of season Of episode 1 of season 2 just saying Written by John Esposito who wrote scripts for graveyard shift tale of the mummy the walking dead webisodes a bunch of those Uh night and then he also did night of the paw story from the first season of creep show This stars well, it's got a bunch of people in it, but big names I'm just gonna say the who the big bigger names are it's got kevin dillon in it Who was in such things as platoon The blob. Yes one of the best remake horror remakes out there And it's probably best known as johnny drama from entourage and he is a delight in this story He brings The seriousness to the character that's kind of needed, but he also brings a nice comedic Element to it because that's just kind of how his acting seems to be at least I mean think entourage if you've seen him in that or think the blob like he's got this little bit of a comedic Bent to the way he delivers lines is just kind of always there and that's present here. So there is some comedy to it There's a little comedy actually baked in I think that's kind of a theme with just the creep show Stories in general.  This one's a little bit lighter But there is that funny stuff to it because this one's also kind of emotional And I enjoy that aspect of it. So There's some real old horror Old school horror nostalgia that ends up being used in this that's kind of the lead into the story Which I think that you'll see what I mean when you watch it It it kind of transitions from one part of something that you don't really know what's going on Into the actual story and then you're just like, oh, I see how this fits in and I thought that transition was really cool Really well done really enjoyed that aspect of it This speaks a lot to Old school horror fans. I'm talking like old old school horror fans like, you know, hammer Uh universal monsters more universal monsters But you know the older school horror fans who really grew up with horror before before horror was all really that cool Was like cool at all really I mean you can kind of glean some of that from the title called model kid m o d e l you'll kind of get it but Um Plays heavy on nostalgia and I like that aspect of it for that reason that kind of rolls into the emotional aspect of it, which that's not all the emotional. There's emotional parts of the story But I think those are integrated pretty well um There's a portion of this that kind of speaks a little bit to How people in the horror community can kind of end up feeling ostracized With the rest of the world because of their interest in horror, especially, you know, those older school horror fans Before before horror genre was thought of as being like legitimate or being more popular Or more acceptable basically so because it you know, it takes place in the past um There was a portion of this I personally really connect with uh in in finding kind of distraction and also catharsis in horror films It's it's something that's just kind of like said, but it's also shown a little bit in the actual story So I I like that aspect of it as well Uh solid comedy to this mainly from kevin dillon. Like I already said, it's not really it's not scary or creepy like at all It's just more emotional and kind of fun. And like I said, just packed with that nostalgia to it It's well directed Good practical effects to it and the comic color usage is solid Which you know, that's a calling card of these stories for creep show They always have like these bits that are very bright have very nice colors And kind of remind you of a comic book panel because duh, it's from creep show comic book idea So anyway, overall, I'm going to give the story model kid three stars. That's what I'm going with for that one It's it's decent Then we have public television of the dead now this one Almost overtook shapeshifters anonymous for me for the best. It's very very close, but not quite there Directed by greg nicotero We just talked about him. So I'm not going to go over that stuff written by rob shrub, which kudos rob Your script for this was very nice Rob's written scripts for monster house. Yes, the robert zemeckis film Wrote a lot for the sarah silverman program, which was a funny show So it gives you an idea of how much comedy will be baked into this one a good amount Uh, and he did this creep show story bad wolf down I wasn't big on that one. It was okay. That's kind of like more middle of the pack for me But this the writing on this script Very nice and there is some nostalgia baked into this one That's kind of just the thing in general with the creep show stories In addition to always having, you know, some sort of nostalgic element from past horror franchises or movies or whatever They also have a lot of little easter eggs in each Story, I don't really look for those to to pull them out but on a second viewing. I'll probably do that I'm not going to make a video about it But it's fun to just rewatch so just know that they're in there if you didn't already Which a lot of people if you watch season one, you know that Um stars ted ramie. He's not the only person but he's the bigger name and I love ted ramie's acting He his delivery. He's always got this kind of like Just kind of like off hand smooth normal guy But kind of funny delivery for his lines. He's a really good actor and he does an excellent job in this I think what he brings to this particular story in numerous ways is awesome So very good.  He was in wishmaster. He was in apparently very small part Also some small parts in blood rage Who knows blood rage probably a lot of people if you like the last drive in candy man shocker stuff like that So he's done a lot. He has a ton of acting credits There's a pretty funny moment I actually didn't see coming in this film and a funny show reference That's very very recognizable in this one lots of references that are very recognizable to actual horror fans And a reference that's not horror related, but everyone should get because it's Well, you'll see what I mean and it's it's pretty wonderful There's something introduced that makes you say oh, hell. Yes Here we go because that's what I said in my mind when this thing popped up In the episode.  Yes, here we go because it definitely marks the point where things get Very fun Very crazy and wonderful Uh, they went pretty big on the practical effects for this one, especially in comparison to the model kids story Obviously, that's a great thing. I love it. It's like they're stepping things up Hopefully they keep with this and they do more of this stuff for more episodes There are multiple scenarios in this story It's kind of like multiple pieces of a story that they end up kind of weaving together And I think they come together really well This goes back to what I was saying that rob shrob did a really good job with this script It's tight. It moves. It's fun. It's funny. It's It's all sorts of great things. I love it They're um All right, so the last my my closing piece on this one. This one is insanely delightful It has comedy mayhem gore and ties in awesomely to a very beloved film franchise So I know a lot of people when they see this one are going to hit the roof With how it's not only how it's executed, but the content of it and the tie-ins for it People are gonna love this I'm sure there will still be some people who don't really like it and for those people I would love to hear on the comments why you don't like it But I think you're gonna have a lot of people loving this particular story I was very happy with it. Like I said, it almost got my number one slot for all the stories that they've done on creep show I love it. I'm gonna give it a four star rating at this point So good start to the new season of creep show. So Um, I'm hoping I can put out reviews for the episodes that are coming out each week because that's the way it is No, it's April 1st, and then there's an April 8th, and it's just gonna be One per week from there on out. So hopefully I'll have a review up every Monday Monday or Tuesday of that week for the upcoming one if I'm allowed to if I'm not allowed to Because I I haven't heard if they're going to allow people to release the stuff before it actually comes out on the thursdays Um, I will just have it come out the day of so we'll see But anyway, this is a good start. Do me a quick favor hit that subscribe button Um, which you know, it's it takes like no time It's like a second and it means a lot to me and the growth of this channel Which I'm just seeking to build this cool nerdy horror community right here Also hit the notification bell button because that way you'll know whenever I'm putting up new reviews like this Or unboxing videos or any of that jazz Um, yeah, and if you want to see my all my reviews for the creep show Season one. I actually have those Oh and the special episodes. I also have those in one playlist on my channel So you can look for that and this will be incorporated into there as well But thanks everyone for checking this out and until next time keep it brutal


All right. So good afternoon, everyone. So what I'm going to present is how to set up a continuous integration with CircleCI and in Rupang using our platform, Panchen. Oh, it's not moving. More about me. I'm Gerald, customer success engineer at Panchen. The most practitioner Drupalista since 2010. Drupal Pilipinas Core member from the Philippines. Yeah, Mabuhay. Hey, next. Okay. So topics. Drupal 8 CI, continuous integration. BDD with B-hat. Composer-managed workflow. Local development with Lando. Panchen and Terminus. Hopefully we can finish this by 5 o'clock. Okay. Oops. So continuous integration. So what is CI actually? So continuous integration is a development practice that requires developers to integrate code into shared Drupalista several times a day. So that is especially helpful if you're working in a team. Yeah. So not advisable if you're maybe you're working alone in a project. So maybe it's always on time. But if there are several people working in a single project, yeah, that's really, really helpful. Okay. So why CI then? So higher quality code? So yes. Because, well, it automatically run your test fit or test cases. Every code changes. We post to the remote repository. So increased developer efficiency. So usually you don't need to worry about the error. So since you have test cases, what you need to worry is just writing the logic, developing the application. Okay. So reduced integration risk. So what this is really, really good because for example, we are just working manually with version control, like doing git merge manually. So sometimes it's really hard to resolve the conflicts.  So with circle CI content integration, that's like can be taken care of. So increased confidence and morale. Yeah. So since the developers are the engineers, no need to worry about the risk. So by the end of the week, they are all happy. Like, oh. No one's committed upholst code in the production. Stuff like that. So less time deploying. Yeah. So when the test pass, when it pass the CI, so it will automatically integrate the code. No need to do it manually. There's a lot of advantages actually. What is that? Okay. So the evolution. So before we get here in this dynamic web application, so let's go back to the story first. So before, we have HTML, CSS, JavaScript and assets. So like we call it, I don't know, website or web page. So yeah, it's very fast, high performance since it's all static, easy to scale. But hey, pictures are limited. So you cannot build the pictures that you want with just HTML. So page became the database. And then getting more complex. So we created a dynamic website. At the end of the day, we wanted them to serve like, use barnish or boost or whatever, caching, CDN, to serve the static like way before. Okay. So like there's the CSS. And then we need to minify it as well as the assets. We need to optimize it. Okay. There's like preprocessor for CSS, then Dress came in for shell utilities, for WordPress, there's CLI, Composer for how to manage your dependencies, Gulp for building your stylesheets locally or JavaScript. Okay. And then there's we had, so it's getting worse complex. There's Selenium for testing. Okay. And then there's version control. So it's getting more complex. How about this? Jenkins, Hudson. So this build tools. And yeah, CircleCI. So yeah, it's really complex. So yeah, what we're going to do is just standardize like build it once and be happy every day, just a one-time pain of setting up the workflow. And anybody can enjoy it. So in bold. So in my presentation, this involves Terminus. So it's a command line interface in our platform, Pansion. And then GitHub for hosting the code. CircleCI for continuous integration and delivery platform. So Composer for dependency manager. And Lando, if anyone at all, it's like Sump, if you know, maybe Sump is the most well-known local stack. So Lando is one of the, you know, like most awesome today that I can think of because it uses Docker and then there's almost zero configuration. So it's really easy to use. And Biat for BDD. Okay. And for distributed version control, the Git. And our platform, Pansion. Okay. So how about glance about what's the workflow is? If anyone have questions, let's just raise your hand. So basically, so changes happen locally. And then, of course, when, for example, you're installing contributed modules. So you just use the Composer Require. And then commit the changes in the Composer.json file. So let, and then let the CircleCI handles everything. Okay. If there's no error, everything passes, it will install the module in your environment. Right. As well as run all the tests. Okay. So the good news is you don't need to learn those stuff. Okay. So, but yeah, it's really good that you at least know in terms of like, there's a trouble, so you know how to trouble shoot it. So demo. Let's make it quick. So just, I have a note here. So requirements, GitHub token. I think everyone familiar with GitHub already. And then CircleCI token and Pansion account. So Pansion machine token. So why you need token? Because you need to, this services talk together. So only the token can make that happen. Okay. So assuming that we're in a command line, that's my first month in creating a project. So Terminals, Build Project, Create, Drupal 8 is the framework that I want to use. And then the name of the project, for example, you can name it like Drupal come Singapore D8. And then it will ask for token. So you have to enter it, the GitHub token. And then it will ask also for CircleCI token. And yeah, it will ask for the password, your Drupal 8 password when you login as admin. So the username is admin, but admin, yes. And then it will ask for your password. Okay. So while in the platform, so if you're a member of an agency, for example, like, let's say, Previousnext or Pasteo or Trellon. So it will ask if you're a member of those agency. Then you can select. Okay. So when it's done, it looks something like that. So yeah. Now, you may be asking, this is all happening in a remote environment. What if I wanted to run the website locally, right? So you can do your own testing, like for example, we have three of us working in a style that SCSS. So it's really good to like, we merge our code from time to time. Okay. So yeah, we can use these approach. So here, I'm going to use Lando. If you're not aware, Lando is like an environment stack made up of Docker. If anyone is aware of Docker already, Docker container. Yeah. Okay. So there, yeah, build the site. Yeah.  So because when building with the Composer base, all the contrived decor are excluded locally. It's just your custom modules and custom teams that are there. Aside from that, everything that is not your code, it's not present locally. So you have to run Composer install. You'll download the decor, the contrived stuff that it needs. And then, so the next command that you're going to run is Lando in it. That's recipe function. So what does it mean is it will copy the exact configuration in your remote environment because, yeah, we have the saying like, hey, it's working my machine, but it's not working in there. So yeah. So we have to, yeah. By the way, Lando is also working with the platform SH and other, I mean, I think right now they're working with Akega already. So this known Drupal hosting companies already using their supporting. Okay. So once you run that Lando in it, it will create a single yaml file called thatLando.yaml that contains your application name. So for example, your project earlier is like DrupalComp Singapore SG. So the name of the application is Drupal 8 Singapore.  So what LandoStart does is it will, if the container or Docker container is not present locally, it will pull it from the remote repository from the Docker hub. And build the stack. And then so it will power up the environment. So the first time it will take time, like maybe five minutes depends on your internal speed. Then once it's already started, your site is not running yet because there's no database and the settings.php. So you have to pull that in your function environment. So then do pull. The code is none because you have already a local copy. So set that to false. And then that's database because Panchen has like three environments, dev, test, and live. So right now, let's assume that you have a live and a dev environment only. So it will copy the database from your dev environment remotely, as well as the files. So let's not confuse with files and code base. Files is for assets, sites, default files. And then once it's done, you have a local copy of your environment. So what I've said earlier. So the name, recipe. So config. So this is what inside your lando.jamil file. So framework, Drupal A. It could be Drupal 7 if you want to install Drupal 7. So the site, for example, it's in my case Janus. And the ID is this is the site UUID in our platform. And then, for example, since it's local, you can set this to true xdbug. But by default, it's false. So if you wanted to have xdbug locally yet, then you can use this. So and then brass. So take note that if you're going to use Pancheon as your platform, brass9 is not yet supported officially right now. So currently we're supporting 8. But yeah, you're welcome to install brass9. But there's some problem that you may encounter. And tolling, this is the call part. So you can install node. Like, for example, since you need node in, like, those gulp stuff, your local build. Phantom.js, if you're building some, like, testing or stuff like that. And then, like, those, actually, are external libraries in the platform. So if you're working with, like, PDF or print module. So the WUK HTML to PDF is our external library. And yeah, but we also support image magic if you need it. Okay? And then services. So Lando is very dynamic when, for example, you wanted to add services. Say, hey, let's say your client requires you to have a solar server. Or integrate redis. So you can just add the services that you want. Okay? So just add the index server and the redis server. Okay? So here, what I need is the node for my gulp CLI. And events. So this is actually cool. So what happens after pulling the, I run Lando pull. So it will run these commands. So I just have to make sure that my local cap is not overridden. So if your guy is familiar with features in Drupal 7. Yeah. So Composer install just to make sure that all the dependencies, Composer packages are installed. So import the configuration, update, run the update DB. So since it's my local machine, I want the develop module and can't to be enabled for debugging and development purposes. And then the last one is, of course, the cast reveal. Okay? So here, post start. So after the app has been started or like I run Lando start. So after Lando start, it will run this as well. So npm install, gulp CS. So basically CLI commands, land by line. Okay? So let's see it in action. Oops. Why? I'm missing. This is weird. It's not showing. Oh, man. Okay, here. Lando. Okay. So take note. Lando will not run if you execute the Lando command outside the directory that has no Lando. It should be inside Lando. Lando, the child directory. Okay, so Lando start. Because I did in it already earlier. So it will rebuild the environment. This is a bit slow because I'm currently using my local proxy for applying development. Oh, by default, Lando will not run if you don't have internet. Because it has to connect to the DNS server for the domain. Okay? So it's making my life difficult. Right. Okay? So let's stop, for example. Lando stop. Okay, it's dead. Okay? So yeah, that's how easy it is. So let me walk you through to the anatomy. Because I cannot discuss this in just an hour. So there's a lot of involved stuff here. So this is the root directory. Okay? So for circle CI, it's a hidden directory. And then this is the config that Jamel that actually... Where are you? So contains everything for my tools. Build steps. Right? Okay? So it's here. And for the scripts that it runs, it's here. So... Yeah, it's just shell scripts. Okay? So... for the panchon specific workflow, it's here. It's listed here. So basically, what I'm doing here is example, run this. And then... I mean panchon Jamel. So basically, you can put all the stuff that you want here. Like, for example, when some event has been run, it will notify the team in the Slack channel. Stuff like that. Like, oh, why are you touching that? Okay? Why are you running some stuff in that code? Okay? So basically, yeah, you can also send a notification, SMS. So I think Paul created a library for that. For sending SMS. Yeah, he created that library. So yeah, it's really powerful actually. So yeah, the pain here is like, you have to study but it's not really hard. It's just a Jamel pie. And then all the commands in there is in PHP as you can see here. So basically, you can do everything you want. Okay? So for... Another here. So here is the scripts for the platform specific. It's inside the web. So part of the directory. Okay? And then for BHAT, it's here. I think... Here, test. So yeah, so you put all your features here in this folder and it will automatically run. So you don't need to worry like how it's being run. The... Circumstance, I will pick that up. Okay? So here's the script for Composer, for GitHub, for GitLab. So basically, you can do what you want. So if you're like bit bucket, you want to use bit bucket, you can put all your stuff there. It depends to you actually. Okay? Questions? Ah, here. So since it circles CI, so... Yeah. So as you can see, it's all success. If it gets read, then something is wrong. Okay? So yep. And then you can create a hook that when it gets failed, it will notify in Slack channel or even email. Send an email. So, yeah, actually, for example, increase actually your efficiency when developing application. You don't need to worry about those repetitive tasks like build a remote server from time to time. This actually will create a development server for you. Test the code there, the changes, and then, yeah, it's okay. It will automatically merge to master in your dev environment. Yeah. So in Pancheon, we have this feature called multi-dev. So aside from dev, test, and live, so when you're working in your specific branch, you can spin up another dev environment which we call it multi-dev. So, yeah, it's actually... Do we have a limitation in that? 10, yeah, yeah. Maximum 10. Yeah. And then here in CircleCI, it's preactually. So, but take note that it's very slow in the free tier because it uses a single instance. But, yeah, if you're working on a big project, it makes sense that you have to upgrade. Right? So, questions? Maybe I'm so fast, or I'm not explaining it very well. How is sitting up there at least with language? Database? Actually, so every, for example, in your application, you have database, you have web server, you have, like, index server for search, and cast server, which is ready. So you have four containers. So, lando, remember the command earlier that I ran, lando pull. So when you run lando in it, it will create all those containers environment, but it's empty. Your database is still empty, zero tables. But when you run lando pull, it will export the database in your remote environment, pull it, download it locally, and then import in your database server locally. Yes. Remember, there's a parameter deb. Database does, does equals deb equals test, or even if you're into multi-deb, so you can pull it, like the name of your brands, like feature A, feature B. And the connection strings have defined in that configuration? Actually, it's a naming convention. So if your brand's name is feature A, then the parameter is feature A. So like it, it's less configuration. It's more of like a naming convention. Process behind the running and rebuild the remote environment. So, for example, I have no failed jobs here. But sometimes, even if your code is good, it fails. So what you can do is, there's a rebuild here. Where's the rebuild? Yeah, it only shows if your job gets failed. But in a feature, that usually happens.  It fails all the time. Yes, because you're using the pre-version. You have to pay to make, you know, you'll get satisfied what you want. But yeah. So there's actually, for example, here's the best feature of this workflow. So, for example, you're working in feature A. And then your colleague working in feature B. And yes, having trouble finding out the bug, which he cannot figure out. So there's a switch command, Lando switch, which you can run locally. And then when you run Lando switch, it will pull the code, the database, and the files of the brands that your colleague is working on. And then run it in your local machine. Okay? So collaboration makes easy. It's really powerful. And, for example, you fix it, you can Lando push in that environment. And then he can pull. Yes, it is. It's really good in a team, actually. B-hat can be extended with other extras like mink and others. Yes, yes. And you fix it automatically as long as... Yeah, yeah. Yeah. And then what you can actually do is before I've been, like, developing a solution for... because there's a site, like, there's like 2,000 B-hat features, right? And it's very slow if you're in that situation because you have to run one by one. So you can actually use the cluster runner, I think. Yeah, use that cluster runner. So what it does is it will split the test by tags because in B-hat, there's a tag, like homepage by contact us or payment or e-commerce. So it depends on how many tags you have. It can spin up like even thousands of containers if you have really big servers and then split the test. So, for example, in just one container if it takes two days to run all the B-hat tests, maybe you can run it like 5 minutes when you have a really good server with cluster runner. You guys have questions? At the back! How about you, sir? Maybe you have... All right? So, yeah, I think that's it. Yeah, we still have like 20 minutes. If you guys want to ask me, anyone? In your project, maybe? Maybe there's you're struggling in your workflow that maybe we can help here. That's the purpose of this event to help. Well, you can actually create your own solution because of this. It's very dynamic, actually. All you need to have is just the token and then it can talk to like even if you're using GitLab Pipeline. Yeah, so every push or commit in the repository it will trigger the build CircleCI will take care of that. So what you need is just webhook to webhook. I did that before, but it's kind of complex.  This kind of stuff. But yeah, it's if you wanted to really scale when working this really big project, this is what you need. Goodbye to those manual routines every day. No one? Yeah, it can run your front-end test, Selenium or whatever, Night Watch GS or stuff like that. Your back-end or like page punit or simple test. You know? Yeah. This solution can take care of it. Okay. No questions. Yeah. I think I did.


Hello friends, I am Mr. Sanjeev B. Knight, working as assistant professor in mechanical engineering department, Walton Institute of Technology, Singapore. In this video, I am explaining about the friction in the worm, which is considered during power transmission and its thermal power rating, based upon which it can transmit safely a power on thermal concentration. So, at the end of the session, students will be able to understand friction considerations in the design of the worm gas and design of worm gas for thermal power rating.  The worm being in the form of helical screw and worm wheel is similar to helical gear, this sliding friction is predominant between the worm and worm wheel. So, this is the basic difference between the worm gear pair and other gear pairs and that is why frictional losses are quite heavy and frictional forces are also quite heavy. And that is why coefficient of friction in worm gear drive is an important requirement in design and this is been observed that the coefficient of friction in worm gear drive depends upon its rubbing speed. The rubbing speed is a relative velocity between the worm and worm wheel. So, here we consider a triangle in which we can find out the rubbing velocity v s if we know the peripheral or pitch line velocity of the worm and pitch line velocity of the worm wheel. So, considering this velocity triangle, we can establish to know the rubbing velocity and based upon rubbing velocity, there is a coefficient of friction.   So, pi, pitch circle diameter of the worm and speed of the worm divided by 16 into 1000 because diameter is always in mm whereas v1 we require in meters per second. So, that is why considering this equation, we can calculate the pitch line velocity of the worm and once we know pitch line velocity, we can calculate sliding or rubbing velocity in this fashion. Once we know sliding or rubbing velocity, then by using this standard chart, we can calculate or we can know what is the coefficient of friction. So, here two assumptions are made in this standard chart.  So, normally in many of the cases, the worm wheel is phosphor bronze and the worm is made of case hardened steel. So, this is a peculiar combination is considered for the materials and also the lubrication method is concerned that is having viscosity 16 to 130 stocks at 60 degree centigrade measured at 60 degree centigrade or particular lubricating oil which is a mineral oil. So, considering these two standard conditions, this standard chart is available. So, here we can find out the rubbing speed as we have made use of triangle and we have calculated rubbing speed. So, corresponding to this rubbing speed, we can establish the coefficient of friction. This is the way the coefficient of friction can be established for worm and worm wheel. Now, as I said that the frictional losses are quite heavy in case of worm gate drive, the efficiency also is a matter which has been comparatively less as compared to other gate drives. And how to calculate this efficiency is something like this. We know that the mechanical efficiency is power output by power input. In case of worm gate drive, the output is always been considered to be taken from worm wheel and whereas it is assumed that the input supplied is always to the worm. So, we consider power output from worm wheel and power input to the worm. So, corresponding we take torque into speed is the power if you take torque into angular speed is the power. So, here we consider the torque as tangential load into radius is a torque. So, tangential force acting on the worm wheel multiplied by pitch radius of the worm wheel which is essentially diameter by 2 and angular speed is 2.0 by 60, but here also 2.0 by 60 gets cancelled and we can get just the speed rpm n2 of the worm wheel. And similarly power input is a tangential force acting on the worm multiplied by its pitch radius is a torque multiplied by the speed. So, this is another equation we can use for input power. So, this is the way we get the ratio. Once we get this ratio as efficiency, here we get the n2 by n1 as one factor, n2 by n1. So, this is what the speed factor. So, what is the speed ratio? Actually it is n1 by n2. The speed ratio is speed of the worm by speed of the worm wheel. So, it should be n1 by n2 is equal to i. So, definitely n2 by n1 becomes 1 upon i. So, I get n2 by n1 is 1 upon i. Similarly, I can get d2 by d1 because 2, 2 gets cancelled. So, if I want to know ratio d2 by d1 is here. d2 is a pitch circle diameter of the worm wheel which is calculated as m into z2. So, in my previous videos we have seen terminology we find that pitch circle diameter of the worm wheel is m into z2. Similarly, pitch circle diameter of the worm is m into q. So, that's why finally d2 by d1 is z2 by q. So, just for some simplicity we divide numerator and denominator by z1. So, z2 by z1 is also a speed ratio. So, we have seen in terminology velocity ratio or speed ratio is also z2 by z1. And that's why it is i, z2 by z1 is value i. And tan of gamma, this relationship also we know from lead triangle, tan of gamma where gamma is a lead angle, z1 by q. So, there why we want q by z1, so it is 1 upon tan of gamma. So, tan gamma comes over here.  So, that's why d2 by d1 can be replaced by i tan gamma. And n2 by n1 by 1 by i and finally we can find out here something. That efficiency is further p2t by p1t. Then d2 by d1 is i tan gamma and n2 by n1 is 1 upon i. And that's why we get this relationship. That is p2t by p1t into tan of gamma. Further we know that p2t, that is the tangential force on the worm wheel, is equal to axial force on the worm. Just in force analysis in previous video, we have seen that the tangential force on worm wheel is axial force on the worm. So, we can replace this p2t by p1a. That's why it becomes p1a upon p1t into tan of gamma. Further this p1a in terms of p1t, we have seen that we can convert it likewise. So, axial force on worm is equal to tangential force on the worm into this bracket.  So, this is the way we can convert p1a into p1t. So, that p1t and p1t gets cancelled. And just we get the efficiency as a tan of gamma into this bracket.  So, this is the relationship to find out the efficiency of the worm gear, in which we require to know only three parameters. One is a lead angle, one is a pressure angle, and one is a coefficient of friction. So, by this way we can able to know the efficiency of the worm gear, right? Further substituting tan gamma is assigned by cos. So, we can simplify further in this equation also. That is, efficiency is cos alpha minus mu tan gamma upon cos alpha into mu cot gamma. So, this is the two equations which can be used to calculate efficiency of worm gear drive. So, students pause the video and just recall how the efficiency of helical and spur gear is there as compared to the worm gear as just we have seen. Now, being the loss is more as a frictional work done or friction between the spur and worm gear as a worm and worm wheel, they have got comparatively very less efficiency. If you compare the efficiency of spur and helical gas is very high in terms of 98 to 99 percent, whereas in case of worm gears it is very low, it varies between 50 to 98 percent. Sometimes you are less than 50 in self-locking conditions also. So, this is why as this frictional work done is very large, the heat generated is also more and if these gears are continuously been operated, then this thermal concentration must be there. That is, heat generated becomes predominant and that should be known and heat generated is 1000 into 1 minus efficiency to killer. So, whatever frictional work done is a loss of efficiency, 1 minus efficiency is a loss of efficiency and that is directly converted into heat. So, this is equation which we can use for heat generated. So, for smooth working and safe working, this generated heat must be effectively dissipated through the lubricating oil to the housing wall of the gearbox and finally, to the surrounding air. So, that is why the rate of heat dissipated is h d which has been calculated as k into T minus k into T minus T naught into E. So, h d is the heat dissipated through the wall. So, overall heat transfer coefficient of housing wall, T is the temperature of the oil and T naught is the temperature of the surrounding air. So, this becomes a temperature difference and A is the effective surface area of housing. So, under thermal equilibrium condition, the heat generated must be heat dissipated. So, equating these two, we can just know how much power safely the gear can transmit as a kilowatt as k into T minus T naught A upon 1001 minus efficiency. So, by knowing the efficiency, we can also know how much power safely the worm gear pair can transmit without accumulating the heat. So, whatever heat generated continuously, it is continuously dissipated. So, this is the way becomes a thermal concentration in design of the worm gear drive to know its power transmitting capacity. My reference is design of machine elements. Thank you.


Essentially, everything in the universe is a question of perfection of geometry. Right now, planets are going around the sun, universe is moving, galaxies are going on. They're all in place the way they are in place, only because of perfection of geometry. One day, for two minutes, if the planet earth thinks, let me go a little off the orbit and come back, that's the end of it, okay? If it loses its geometry, it's gone. So the geometry of the existence is such that today, modern science is coming up with what's called as a constructional theory. What they're trying to say is, the geometry and the design of the atom and that of the cosmos is essentially same. Only the complexity and sophistication has multiplied millions of folds. This is something that we have been saying in yogic system forever. For thousands of years, under Pindanda, this means the individual and the universal is essentially same. Only the complexity is multiplying. So if it is in design essentially same, if you get it into right kind of alignment, suddenly it does things that you have never thought it can do.  You're watching your favorite one channel wonder and it went boop boop. Then you go up on the terrace and do this, it won't work, do this, it won't work, then slowly get this into that place. Suddenly again the world pours into your sitting room. Just a bunch of aluminum tubes, just get it to the right place. It absorbs the world and delivers to you in your sitting room. This also, if you just learn to sit right, breathe right, hold everything right in the right place, suddenly this can download the entire cosmos. Yoga means the technology of arriving at this because to just get the geometry right, just to learn to sit right. This is very difficult for a thinking mind to understand. A yogi spends his entire life towards what is called as asana siddhi. This means he wants to master one posture, only one. I know in California you do 108. If you go to half an hour session, you do hundred postures and come back home because you want to sweat. Now only one posture, his entire life, he's meticulously arranging, rearranging, rearranging, minutely arranging it in such a way that if he hits that particular posture, suddenly the entire cosmos is here, not there. For you to get some kind of understanding of this, for example, do you at least see me, even if you're not listening to me, it's okay, do you see me? Hello, can you use one hand and point out where I am? Oh, you got me wrong, you know I am a mystic. Now this light is falling upon me, reflecting, going through your lenses, inverted image in the retina, you know the whole story, so where do you see me right now? Within yourself, where do you hear me right now? Within yourself, where have you seen the whole world?   Anything that ever happened to you happened only within you. Right now somebody next to you touches your hand, you think you're experiencing their hand, no. You are only experiencing the sensations in your hand. Even without the aid of that hand, if you have an imagination, you can create the sensation, yes or no? Yes, you can. So you are experiencing everything, whatever you have known, only within yourself. The very nature of things, you cannot experience what is here. You can only experience the way it happens within you. Or in other words, the fundamental seat of your experience is within you. If the entire human experience is being generated from within you, at least what happens from within you must happen the way you want it, hmm? Now is this the goal of yoga? No, this is a small thing that you need to put aside that your body and your mind are not an issue. They are stepping stones for bigger possibilities. But right now people spend a lifetime trying to learn, understand the tendencies of their own body and their mind. Sixty-seventy years of age, still you're struggling how to handle your thought and emotion. What to do with this? By the time you're sixteen, you should know how to handle your thought and emotion. But entire life goes how to handle your own thought and emotion.  Yes or no? Isn't this… aren't these the most wonderful things about a human being? You can think and feel, but this has become a huge problem. And of course there are fixers in the society how to fix these things. First time when I came to United States, I just couldn't figure this, it's many years ago. And wherever I went people were talking about stress management. Why would they want to manage stress? Because in my understanding, we manage whatever is precious to us, our family, our business, our money, our property, whatever else. That's precious to you. Why would you want to manage stress? It took me some time to understand people have concluded that stress is a part of their life. Stress is not a part of your life. It is just that you don't know how to handle your own thought and emotion, isn't it? You don't know how to handle your memory and your imagination. All the wonderful things that you have as human beings which other creatures don't have, which set us apart in every way, see, nothing wrong with an earthworm, it's more eco-friendly than you. You're only now trying in California to be eco-friendly, right? They've always been eco-friendly, that way they're ahead of you. But what is beautiful about a human being is, we can remember everything. We can project into future, we can create a world of our own the way we want it. If we want it, we can pull it down today and create another world tomorrow morning in our mind. Yes? But that's become the source of suffering for humanity. I hear every year, 350 million people in Europe are on psychiatric medication. This is 39% of the population. So a society which has enjoyed generations of economic well-being, 39% of the people, if you withdraw a few pharmaceutical formulations, 39% will go crazy. You call this well-being, I'm asking. But do you see entire world making a journey in this direction? In many ways the entire world is trying to make a journey in the same direction of madness. Because the experience of life as you sit here, the experience of life is not good enough. The world is moving towards chemicals to create experience. I'm not looking at this morally. I'm only talking about the efficiency of it. Sure chemicals can cause experiences because all experiences within you is also a certain kind of chemistry. What you call as peace is one kind of chemistry. What you call as love is another kind of chemistry. Joy is another kind of chemistry. Anxiety is one kind of chemistry. Madness is another kind of chemistry. There is a chemical basis to human experience, no question about that. Now there is a way, there is a way to take charge of this, that you make yourself in this way that you are not an issue. If you are not an issue, you can handle any issue. Now the problem is you yourself a big issue.  Your cerebral capability itself is a tremendous issue, isn't it? This is the greatest gift, but it's become my issue, it's become a problem. This is because there is no yoga. When I say there is no yoga, don't think I have to stand on my head, that's why it's not happening. No, no yoga means there is no union. You become too much of an individual. You started believing that you're an individual. Somebody thinks you're an individual, that's his problem. But you think I'm this, I'm a world by myself, then life will give you treatment. That's the treatment that is going on right now, suffering. As a generation of people, you are experiencing more comfort and convenience than any generation ever in the history of humanity. Do you agree with me? But whining like crazy? Because life is giving you treatment. It's giving you treatment because there is no yoga. The boundaries of who I am has become so rigid that life will tell you in its own way. We can do one simple experiment right now. Put these hands together with your eyes closed, just intensely rub these two hands together for a minute, like this. Just hold it apart by four inches with your eyes closed, just hold these hands four inches apart. Something happening between the two hands, okay? So this is the nature of your sensory body. If something effervescent happens in this, the sensory body will expand. You might have experienced this.  Yes, your sensory body expands and some sense of being beyond yourself. It doesn't last, that's a different thing but at least there is some sense of unity in the thing. Now, the nature of the sensory body is such, if your energies are in an effervescent mode, then you will see sensory body will expand. Suppose your sensory body became as big as this hall, let's say, then you would experience all these people as a part of yourself because anything which is within the boundaries of your sensation, you always experience as myself. Suppose you experience this one and this one and this one and this one as yourself, then do I have to tell you, don't kill this one, don't harm this one, don't rob this one, don't torture this one? Do you need teaching? I'm asking, thou shall not, thou shall not, thou shall not do you need teaching. You would not need any morality because your humanity is full-fledged.  By experience, as you are experiencing the material that I gathered from many places and made body out of it and now I feel this is me, if you felt everything else is me, then we say you're in yoga.  I think we went too far with yoga because your idea of being individual is a very convoluted idea because you can't exist for a moment as an individual by yourself without the support of the entire structure, isn't it? The entire system is constantly working to just make you breathe and be alive here. So, this sense of individuality is the basis of everything. All the crookedness, all the evil, all the violence is simply because this is me, that's somebody else, isn't it? Yes? Fundamentally, this is me, that's someone else, I don't care what that is. If I experience this is me, then nobody has to tell me how to be. Nobody has to teach me what I should do and what I should not do.  That's what being a yogi or being in yoga means, not just turning and twisting our bodies.


Hello in this lecture we're going to define merchandise according to fundamental accounting principles while 22nd edition that the definition of merchandise is also called merchandise inventory or inventory good that a company owns and expects to sell to customers so when we're talking about merchandise that's another shorthand way of saying inventory or merchandise inventory inventory being a type of asset the difference between inventory and other types of assets being that inventory is geared towards purchasing and selling the inventory all assets having that end goal of helping us to generate revenue in the future inventory being distinct in that it will achieve that goal by the purchase and the sale of the inventory or the manufacturing and the selling of that inventory so if we had something like a boat it could be an asset if we're using that boat in order to help us ship things or something like that to help us generate revenue or it could be inventory merchandise if we're using it to purchase and sell and of course if we have a computer same thing if we have it just for the business in terms of use in order to help us generate revenue in the future it's a business asset as opposed to if we're buying and selling computers it now being merchandise inventory merchandise inventory create a forklift that we used for the business asset fixed assets as opposed to if we had a forklift that we're using to purchase and sell or manufacture and sell now we're talking about inventory merchandise inventory merchandise


Today we need to talk about something that, honestly, it's not shocking that it was a thought. It's shocking to the level and length in which this idea permeated inside of Microsoft and Xbox. Of course, we're probably talking about a story you may have heard already, but we got to cover all the angles of it. And that is that Phil Spencer and Microsoft wanted to buy Nintendo. Now look, them wanting to buy Nintendo is no secret, obviously they had talked about this a long time ago before they even started the Xbox brand itself. So yeah, this isn't a new topic to happen inside Microsoft, but it is really the length to which Phil Spencer was willing or suggested he was willing to go. And the way in which he talked about Nintendo and that became problematic, at least in my eyes, because look, it is not a good look for Phil Spencer and Xbox for how they were treating Nintendo as a company and how there might have been a big master scheme at play for years to eventually get Nintendo to sell their company to them willfully or merge companies I guess as they were trying to make it sound to be. Now here's the thing, before we dive in, if you're enjoying this video, I would appreciate you to drop a like, subscribe to the channel. We're on our road to 150,000 subscribers and go ahead and hit that bell icon to be notified of all future uploads. But the reason we have to dive into this is because frankly, it's not going to happen. The world governments are highly likely to never allow such a merger to happen. These are direct competitors, but it's the length at which Phil Spencer put this in an email that that's really troublesome. So here's the thing. The email came from the FTC versus Microsoft stuff.  These are legal documents that were sealed and they weren't ever supposed to be released. And for some reason, randomly the other day, the FTC unlocked all the files. And in doing so, we got access to a bunch of emails that were never supposed to be public. We got access to documents from Microsoft detailing their plans for upcoming game releases, upcoming console releases, stuff that was never supposed to be public. It's it sort of feels like the FTC has some sour grapes over losing. So they wanted to ruin Microsoft's day by releasing all these documents. I don't know if there'll be any legal repercussions for this. Most of this stuff was literally sealed by the judge. This stuff was not supposed to become public, but it is. And the unfortunate thing for Phil Spencer, in this case, is this particular email is really, really bad. And guys, you might, if you like Phil Spencer, you might lose a little respect for him after I read it. So this is an email from Phil Spencer to Chris Capulsa and Takeshi Numoto. Okay, I don't know who those people are. But anyways, this is the email chain. And here's what he said, Takeshi. I totally agree that Nintendo is the prime asset for us in gaming today. And gaming is our most likely path to consumer relevance. And remember, somebody else brought up Nintendo, right? But obviously Phil Spencer is like, yes, I do agree. So I've had numerous conversations with the LTE of Nintendo about tighter collaboration. And I feel like if any U.S. company would have a chance with Nintendo, we are probably in the best position. I'll get nothing wrong here. Right. Like expressing your desire to want to buy the company isn't a bad thing, but it gets so much worse. All right. So the unfortunate or fortunate for Nintendo situation is that Nintendo is sitting on a big pile of cash and they have a BOD that until recently has not pushed for further increases in market growth or stock appreciation. I say until recently as our former Microsoft BOD member, Value Act, has been heavily acquiring shares of Nintendo. And then he links to a source from Rooters. And I've kept in touch with Mason Morfit as he's been acquiring. It's likely he'll be pushing for more from Nintendo stock, which could create opportunities for us without that catalyst. I don't see an angle to a near term, mutually agreeable merger of Nintendo and Microsoft, and I don't think a hostile action would be a good move. So we are playing the long game. Our BOD has seen the full write up on Nintendo and Valve, and they are fully supportive of either if the opportunity arises as am I. So at this point, here's what we're learning from Bill Spencer. In his first paragraph, we're seeing that he has a strong desire to play a long game or this email set back in 2020.  Now, the Microsoft doesn't own this stuff. The Value Act does. But the idea is to put pressure on Nintendo to increase stock prices. Now, all of this is before all of the theme parks were launching. All of this is before the movie launch. So Nintendo has already done things to increase their stock value, but it's one of those things that this is before all of that when Nintendo was so reliant on video games. So the idea here was that if enough stockholders own the stock and put the pressure on Nintendo that, hey, you got to start raising the value of your company instead of just keeping it the way that it is. That Nintendo might change and have to look for other partnerships and other deals, such as with Microsoft, to massively increase their stock prices. So it was a stock play. He was trying to pressure Nintendo to a point where they sort of feel like they have to work with Microsoft or that the Microsoft stuff looks more appealing. This is all behind the scenes. So while he's taught to people at Nintendo, a lot of that was about creating closer partnerships. This was really his end goal. His end goal was to get Microsoft and Nintendo to merge the Xbox and Nintendo branding. Very, very interesting. And obviously, arguably a little bit weird with some possible insider trading stuff going down with this, this, this company in value act. I'm not sure if this is entirely 100% legal. Then again, they don't work for Microsoft anymore. So, you know, what do I know? Anyways, confidentially, we have two fairly active M&A discussions in gaming right now, Warner Bros. Interactive and Xenomax. I took Xenomax to the BOD last week and prior to the BOD discussion, I asked Amy and Satya if they wanted me to slow either or both of these, given the TikTok discussions, and they both emphatically told me no. They are fine doing all three if these deals make sense. I won't say WB or Xenie is Nintendo, but both are for sale and gettable by us if things align. Biggest obstacle is WB is IP ownership. We won't own any of the IP, which hurts long term flexibility. And the only obstacle on Xenie is evaluation expectations of founders. But I think it is likely that one or both of these happen, which will help us continue to double down on our gaming relevance. To give a sense of scale, Xenomax is about the size of our current first party studios organization. So that would be doubling our content asset. Downside is it's more core, less broad, but no mobile, more North American and European. I love this discussion and value looking at the opportunities here. At some point, getting Nintendo would be a career moment. And I honestly believe a good move for both companies. And here comes the line that's going to stick with you guys. Hardcore every time you look at Phil Spencer. It's just taking a long time for Nintendo to see that their future exists off of their own hardware. A long time smiley face. He's basically saying that Nintendo just doesn't see it yet. But their long term future isn't in hardware. That is wow. Now, these are obviously just his opinions. And it does show what goes on behind the scenes. I think a lot of us along the way didn't really mind that Microsoft bought Xenomax or that they're doing this Activision was a merger. For the most part, we understand Microsoft is in the position of third place.  I think on the surface, a lot of us understand what competition means and that obviously with Microsoft being in last place with the consoles, that a lot of the acquisitions, at least fundamentally, we could wrap our minds around why Microsoft would do it and why it makes sense. But obviously, we were never supposed to be privy to what the private conversations were behind the scenes because you could see like they wanted to buy WB, but the kick up with WB is, yeah, you get those awesome, you know, developers, but you don't gain any IP rights. If you don't gain the IP rights, it really devalues buying WB, right? Like if you don't get the rights to the WB IP, then what's the point of the purchase? It would you would have to be reliant on the IP right holders to allow WB to continue to make those games and what if they yank those rights suddenly then buying WB wouldn't make any sense. And obviously, we know this that they ended up buying Zenimax, right? This is before the Zenimax deal was finalized. But the big thing here is obviously, hey, he always has viewed the golden goose egg to be Nintendo. He always like from the very beginning of these major acquisitions, his number one goal, Phil Spencer's number one goal as of 2020. We don't know what his goals are today, but as of 2020, his number one goal was to buy Nintendo and he was playing or potentially still is playing the long game to acquire them. I don't know what long game he's doing. Nintendo is healthier than ever and now they've created more revenue streams. So I'm not so sure that Nintendo will ever be acquirable for Microsoft where they could even put an offer. And after this, by the way, I want to be clear, I don't think Microsoft is dumb. They know that they barely acquired Activision Blizzard, right? That deal that's being finalized right now by the CMA. It is barely getting by by the skin of their teeth, right? They had to go to multiple legal cases. It was almost blocked in the US. It was blocked a little bit in the UK. The point is that they barely got that deal to go through and get approved. There's no way that they're going to be able to get a deal approved for Nintendo. I think when Phil Spencer made the decision that they were going to go after Activision Blizzard, that he decided right then and there that this pipe dream he had in 2020 of the long game play for Nintendo is now behind him because he knows regulatory boards are not going to allow Microsoft and Nintendo to or Microsoft to buy Nintendo or this theoretical merger that he was trying to get Nintendo to maybe start favoring. So what is clear is I think Phil Spencer is probably given up on this pipe dream of his, but before that acquisition was going down, he did really have it in the long term plans of Microsoft to acquire Nintendo. Now, I'm not going to sit here and always act like all acquisitions are bad, but acquisitions that eliminate competition, I think is bad. And the idea that he thinks Nintendo's future wasn't making their own hardware. It does echo the sentiments of some gamers out there where they think Nintendo should go third party, but I don't know that it really echoes the opinions of the actual people that buy Nintendo's products. Because Nintendo keeps providing things to the market the other place isn't. What other major player in the space is doing a hybrid system? Is Microsoft providing one? Is Sony providing one? Oh, no, we got Steam Deck in some other. We don't have any major console manufacturer doing what Nintendo's doing. So why would we as consumers want that option in gaming to go away? Of course, we wouldn't want that. So this idea that Phil Spencer is this greedy and knows the unlimited bank that is Microsoft and knows what their buying power truly is, I'm not shocked that this email exists. I'm not shocked that Phil Spencer had a plan in place to get Nintendo to agree to merge or be purchased. I am not surprised. What I am, I think, shocked by is the length to which he talks about the problems that Nintendo has that aren't necessarily problems except for people that want to acquire them. Things like Nintendo has a huge amount of money sitting in a bank.  Why would a company sitting on a giant mountain of cash sell? Like, no, Nintendo would be buyers, not sellers, right? And then on top of that, obviously, the massive success of their hardware. Oh, they don't know it yet, but their future is not in hardware.  So it's interesting just to see this.  But what I am shocked by is that the email ever made it out.  I have a lot of business emails that I do every day, right? A ton of business emails with lots of different companies from video game studios to other brands out there when I'm working out deals for for like branded content and baked in ads and sponsored videos and stuff like that. I don't do a lot of them, but I do have a lot of emails with these companies. And yeah, there are some of those emails and some of those negotiations. I really don't want to be public. And they are all under the guise of a of a non-disclosure agreement where I can't talk about the deals and they can't talk about the deals is the public thing. But there are some of those emails that they got out might not paint me in the best of light, right? They might make me look really sleazy, as it were, as I'm obviously looking out for the bottom line and trying to do what's in the best interest of myself and the channel.  Look at the demands he's making. And yeah, yeah, and they don't have to agree to any of it, which is totally fine. You know, when I'm setting a price for something that sounds astronomical, there's a reason the price is set that way. But when I'm making these negotiations, some of these emails wouldn't make me sound good. The one thing you won't find in any of my business emails, if God forbid they ever leak publicly, is me trash talking a company. I never down talk a company or say they're making mistakes. I might suggest that what they want me to do isn't the best way to sell products. But I don't, you know, I don't trash them. And what you will find in this email is multiple instances of him acting like Nintendo has made some bad choices. But really, those choices are just choices that are bad for an acquisition, not bad for Nintendo as a company. I don't know, guys. The general consensus today is that Nintendo fans hate Phil Spencer now. Here's my thing. I don't want Microsoft and Nintendo to stop working close together, not because I'm worried about them being acquired. Let's set the record straight. There is not a world that exists in my lifetime that Microsoft is going to be able to buy Nintendo after this Activision Blizzard deal. They're going to be hard pressed to make any other major acquisitions. And Nintendo would be an even bigger acquisition. So I'm just going to throw out there that this isn't going to happen. So keeping this in the back of our minds that this isn't going to happen. Why wouldn't we want Microsoft and Nintendo to continue to work close together? I want to see the next Doom game come out on Nintendo Switch. The next Wolfenstein game come out on Nintendo Switch. Hey, let me dream. Let me dream of a world where Starfield and Elder Scrolls 6 comes out on a future Nintendo platform. And I keep bringing this stuff up because in the end, what I care about is us as consumers get more game options. And the one way that Nintendo can get more of those game options is to continue to work close with Microsoft. So I don't want this to sour that relationship now that Nintendo themselves is fully aware of what the original intent of all this working close together was. You know, we just had the other day where Aaron Greenberg's email was like, yeah, man, Nintendo is not even really a console. And then now you have Phil Spencer being like, hey, man, you know, we really wish Nintendo would just stop making hardware. Look, guys, take this for what it is. It is a business discussion behind the scenes was never meant to be public. Obviously isn't going to happen.  You guys are going to do it anyways, right? I'm just going to sit back and go, man. This sounds so corporate, so wishy-washy. And yeah, you don't think there's emails from Nintendo that probably say some disparaging things about execs and other companies and their plans? What if there was like a plan in place for Nintendo to dismantle platinum games or something like you just aren't going to see this because Nintendo doesn't go to court where they need to reveal these damn emails in the first place. These emails had to be unveiled in this court case in the first place because they were dealing with an acquisition. And since they were dealing with an acquisition, any emails related to acquiring companies were part of the court case is the only reason this is out here. And the FTC, man, look, I don't know what the hell is going on there. There has to be a legal repercussion for just leaking all this stuff, right? Someone clearly did it intentionally. This stuff was sealed. But hey, the good news is, Nintendo is all right, everyone. We'll be back with our next video. I believe we have a few more scant details to share on Nintendo switch to that are going to be quite interesting. I want to go ahead and sign out and I'll catch you guys in the next video.


Buenos dias! Here we are in Xíhuantaneo, Mexico, going down the Big Hill. Everything's decorated for Dia de los Muertos, or Day of the Dead, big celebration in Mexico. They're inviting souls of people who have passed on up from the cemeteries and welcoming them back to the family homes for a celebration. They'll have a lot of colorful marigolds and other things that are supposed to lead the souls back to the family homes. So there's an old clock tower that's got a cross on top of it, as you can see. And then there's this other large woman here, I believe. The official start of this is tomorrow. So they're just getting this lady ready. This is all decorated. We'll go walk through the markets. I probably won't be saying a lot because there's just so much to see and I won't need to explain anything. You got to watch it here. They kind of try to run into you. They don't give you a lot of space, in other words. And here they come whipping around this corner, too. They just go right here. You got to be kind of quick. So I'll take a left up at this next block and then like I said earlier, I'm not going to say a lot. There'll be a lot of temporary markets or stalls set up. This is kind of a market street, but there'll be a lot of temporary stalls set up. Selling flowers and other colorful things for the Day of the Dead celebration starting tomorrow. So this should be interesting down here. This is the regular market street here. Merza is one of the popular stores here. El Campesino. It's very busy. You got to watch out. You can run into. So here are all the marigolds. All the pretty flowers. Look at all the flowers. And now it starts getting busy. Look at all the marigolds. Other treats, sweet treats.  Very colorful. Here's a chicken zone. There's a bunch of chicken stalls in here. About 30 of them. It's a crazy place. Not even stalls to eat at like this. There's a coffee shop over there. This must be kind of a wholesaler here. I think they use a little candles too to light the way for the souls. I'm not really talking about it. It's like a giant over here. I'm taller than 90% of the people.


Hi, I'm Omar from AGM Smart and today I'm going to be showing you a ton of resources to help you get better at product strategy. So at AGM Smart we believe that part of being a good designer is actually being good at product strategy because then you can give so much more value to your customers. So here's what we're going to do. I've prepared a bunch of tabs that contain podcasts, books, blogs, basically everything that we use to level up our product strategy skills. So we're going to dive in and I'm going to show you all the resources one by one, each tab on its own and tell you why we think it's a great resource. So what I would love is that if you could share your product strategy resources with us in the comments along with any questions you have about product strategy.  This is a great place to start if you're not even sure what product strategy is. So I'm not going to cover this thing right now but as you can see it's kind of a long read but it's super well written. It basically takes you through everything you need to know about basically product strategy on a high level though. So this is just reading this won't make you good at product strategy but now you understand what that term actually means and why it's so important that you actually get good at it. All right so I've organized these tabs in terms of categories so now we're going to look at some books and then we're going to have some Twitter, some YouTube and then podcasts and blogs. Let's look at the first book which is Blue Ocean Strategy by W Chan Kim and Renee I'm not going to try to pronounce the last name. This is a great book it's just basically a must read it has a framework that makes it super easy for people who don't have a lot of experience in product strategy. It gives you kind of a template that you can start experimenting with to get better at product strategy. All right let's go to the next book. This one is called Playing to Win How Strategy Really Works. I mean everything is in the title there so like none of these books are going to immediately make you an expert but now you'll have the language, you'll know how strategy generally works, you'll find out a ton of stuff that you didn't know and this will just serve as the template for you experimenting with strategy and getting better at it. So the third book that we have is called Good Strategy, Bad Strategy, The Difference and Why It Matters. This book is filled with a ton of kind of examples and case studies showing you you know a story basically and how good of a strategy it was or how bad it was and maybe sometimes a little bit of both so this is also a great book by Richard Rumelt and maybe I'm pronouncing that wrong sorry Richard. Those are the three books that we think will give you a great start into product strategy. Now let's move on to Twitter and the first we want to show is Ben Thompson. So Ben Thompson is someone that we really love at AJN Smart. We think this guy is a genius, we're big fanboys and fangirls of his. He's just one of the smartest people working in tech strategy like that's his niche it's not general business strategy he's focused on technology companies he writes about Apple, about Amazon, Facebook and his analysis is very very smart so you should definitely be following him on Twitter. By the way Ben Thompson worked at both Apple and Microsoft before going independent and becoming a full-time writer writes about strategy so you can trust that this guy knows what he's talking about. All right next up is Steven Sinovsky. Steven Sinovsky also used to work at Microsoft. He was the head of Windows for a very long time you know he also knows what he's talking about. He does this brilliant tweet storm sometimes it's like 30 tweets long and like you see here this one let me zoom in for you here this is literally almost like a blog post that he has written inside of a Twitter thread so super insightful very thoughtful his thinking is very clear and you will learn a ton by just following him on Twitter and reading his thoughts reading his analysis so for example here he's talking about Mac OSN moving to ARM and what that could mean is it a good strategic move is it bad what are the implications of it the good and the bad he's brilliant you should definitely be following him. Next up is MG Siegler. MG Siegler is now part of Google Ventures so these guys invested in other companies Google Ventures if you don't know them they're a venture capital firm under Google who invests in startups and companies and give them advice and guidance so MG Siegler is also a great resource on Twitter he's very smart and we're also going to check out his blog later on as well because he he does great writing on Medium but you should definitely be following him on Twitter as well to see what he's talking about. Next up is Benedict Evans. Benedict Evans is part of Andreessen Horowitz or A16Z which is another venture capitalist firm filled with a ton of smart people. Benedict Evans is also kind of like Ben Thompson he's a full-time analyst and he does great writing and his Twitter profile is also great so you should definitely be following him. Next up is Connie Chan. Connie Chan is also at A16Z so I would almost recommend just going to the A16Z account and just seeing everyone who works there and follow them on Twitter but I picked out the top two from them. Alright as an example of how following people like this on Twitter will help you you can see here that Connie Chan has written about multimodal business models and how you can do way more than just for example advertising. This is actually a series of tweets that is brilliant that basically shows you other types of business models that are popular in China and how we can use those to bring them back to kind of the Western companies in Europe and the US because they're doing so much less on that front and that's an example of you know modeling your business model strategy based on something that was taken from China as inspiration. Alright next up is A16Z's YouTube channel and specifically this playlist is called Company Building 101 so the reason this is relevant is because it tells you a lot of business basics in the tech world and really gives you the language to be able to talk with product strategy people with at your clients company and be able to speak the same language as them show them that you understand their business and help them achieve their business goals with the product that you're designing for them. Right so when you learn about going to market the go-to-market strategy finance as a strategy you'll you'll just learn so much by hearing smart people in the tech world talk about this and this playlist is a great place to start. Okay so the next resource we're going to be looking at from YouTube is actually a channel called Getting Real. This is made by the people who make Basecamp which is a piece of like a project management tool that we use at Asian Smart and that we love so much and they have a series about called How We Work in which they talk about basically how they structure the companies and they basically lay out their strategy all on kind of a diagram and walk you through it and it's super informative and super insightful to see how basically this is your inside view at the strategy of a company and you could definitely get inspired from that to take some parts of their process if they make sense for you and use them as a template because they're their successful company they've been running for 13 years and they know what they're doing and they're very smart people working there and they actually shared how they think about strategy in their own company and so you can take a look at these videos they're actually compiled into a playlist called How We Work and this is how they approach decision-making and strategy and it's it's a great resource as well. Alright so next up we're going to talk about some podcasts and first up is Exponent and that's also by Ben Thompson who we saw earlier in one of the Twitter's over here so Ben Thompson has Exponent podcast he does with James Alworth who currently works at Cloudflare I believe and who's a Harvard Business Review author so they're both very smart and every week they release a podcast talking about what's happening in the tech world and discussing the strategy of each move so basically when Spotify purchased Gimlet Media they discussed the strategy of that and what it means for Spotify what it means for Gimlet what it means for podcasting and Ben Thompson also talks about his aggregation theory often on the podcast I'm not going to go into it now but it's a great framework for strategy as well and you get to hear him talk about it on his podcast so this is definitely one that you want to subscribe to. So this next one is called the Product Breakfast Club and this might be familiar to some of you who are who follow AJ and SMART on other channels this is made by Jake Knapp who's the author of the sprint book and Jonathan Courtney who's the CEO of AJ and SMART and they also talk about kind of the industry news and they see what big companies are doing and talk about these decisions so if Apple is deciding to get into you know competing with Netflix with their own content service you will hear them talk about it on the podcast and analyze it and see what they think about it based on their expertise in the industry and it's also a very fun podcast this is actually one of the few podcasts that doesn't take itself so seriously and it's really really funny and fun to listen to. The next podcast is the A16Z podcast which comes from Andreessen Horowitz who we've already seen these are the same guys that I showed you Benedict Evans works there, Connie Chan works there and these guys just put out amazing contents on every channel basically so they have a podcast called the A16Z podcast in which they interview people from you know different industries and they talk about different topics autonomous vehicles gaming and but they're super super informative discussions the reason I'm telling you to listen to this podcast related to product strategy is because you need to know like the landscape in which you're designing the products and this is a super good resource for that because you're going to get to listen to very smart people talking for an extended period of time listen to what they have to say about where each industry is going and what's next for that and you can use that in your own strategy thinking to get ahead of the competition. The next podcast is actually more of a storytelling podcast that comes from NPR it's kind of a mix of entrepreneurship and storytelling but the reason I think you should listen to this from a product strategy perspective is that what basically happens on this podcast is they interview people who have built very successful businesses and you get to listen to one hour of this founder's story and how they navigated the most difficult parts of their company building and that always includes discussions of strategies that they implemented in order to stand out from the competition and you can take great inspiration from that. Okay and now we're going to move to some writing and blogs so the first up is Stratecary from Ben Thompson who we've already seen on Twitter I've already looked at his podcast Exponent and this is the blog where he writes he puts out most of his content basically because he has one weekly article every week that covers basically the biggest news that happened that week and provides an analysis for it and it's always very clever and very well thought out and by reading Stratecary you'll be able to understand why big companies make the moves that they're making and over time you'll start to use those as inspiration for your own product strategy and by the way Ben Thompson also has a premium newsletter that you can subscribe to and that we at AJ and Smarter subscribe to and we definitely recommend but for starters you could just check out his weekly article and then subscribe when you feel like you need more. So next up is Benedict Evans blog which we also saw Benedict Evans already on Twitter similarly to Ben Thompson also writes a very thoughtful blog this is not the whole blog post by the way this is just a preview and he writes really really good articles that analyze the industry analyze products released by companies basically Ben shares whether he thinks this is a good strategy or not and by reading this you'll also start to be able to use the same method of thinking to analyze your own products and your client's products and be able to design good strategies for them. So the penultimate blog that I want to show you is called 500 Ish Words by MG Siegler who I already showed you on Twitter MG Siegler works at Google Ventures now called GV and he also does brilliant strategic writing on his medium blog where again he talks about the strategy of big companies and analyzes them and basically gives his opinion about them and it's always very very informative and as with all of these resources when you are exposed to this level of strategic thinking you will naturally start absorbing it and being able to implement it in your own work and the last blog I want to show you which is not a surprise is the blog of Andres and Horowitz because they put out great content on their on YouTube on Twitter in a podcast and of course in a blog and here I picked out one by Connie Chan that's called Outgrowing Advertising Multimodal Business Models as a Product Strategy and it's this article just blew us away when we read it at AT&T Smart because it talks about so many ways in which businesses work in China that no one is experimenting with in Europe or the US or anywhere else in the world for that matter and there's so much strategic inspiration to be taken from here and experimented with and there are opportunities for innovation like you wouldn't believe you should definitely definitely check out this article and subscribe to the blog the newsletter basically anything that Andres and Horowitz does or A16Z sometimes they call themselves they call themselves A16Z or sometimes Andres and Horowitz so just google either one and you'll find their resources and you should definitely be reading watching listening to everything that they have to say because they're they're smart and they know what they're talking about so this brings us to the end of the resources that we wanted to show you today and these were put together by everyone who works here at AJ and Smart and this is how we get better at product strategy we hope these are going to be helpful for you and so I'm going to leave you with three takeaways from this video number one is that to get a good at product strategy you need to develop a good intuition or gut and you do that by absorbing lessons from successes and failures of others number two is develop an analytical mindset and you do that by examining company decisions so let's see you hear about the news from Spotify buying another company and saying that they want to get into podcasting you shouldn't just read that as a piece of news you should analyze it think why they did it and kind of set down a prediction as to how successful it's going to be and then track your predictions over time so by developing this analytical mindset you'll be able to track how well your thinking and your analysis is doing over time and get better by learning from your mistakes and the third and last thing I want to leave you with is now that you have all of these resources you're ready to start participating in strategy talks when you're talking to your clients when you're working in your company to start an experiment and get your own experience designing product strategy decisions and learning from your own experience so now you're ready to go out into the world and get better at strategy thank you so much for watching I hope this was useful to you let us know in the comments what you thought any questions that you have and the resources that you use to learn more about product strategy if you like this video you know the routine the like and subscribe and the bell and all of that we have new content coming to you every week so make sure to keep checking back thank you so much for watching see you in future videos sorry develop your product so what I'd love is that I'm a little biased because Jonathan is my boss but he's I mean I started working here because I think Jonathan is very smart he's not very pretty though so because I'm looking at I'm looking at this photo that you may have about product strategy well I forgot like that I'm sitting in your ears


Let's say we put you in charge at Harvard. Yeah, what changes would you make?  This is such a great question Can I can I start at the beginning start at the beginning? Okay? I would start by going I Would establish a set of baseline criteria for admissions and then I would have a lottery after that So if you are someone who has you're in the top 2% of your high school class or whatever we can 5% whatever cutoff we want Following test test scores at a certain point. Whatever cutoff we want some minimum number of other things you do You just go into the pot and we're pulling out names I would I I Probably triple or quadruple the size in the next ten years okay open campuses Probably two other campuses in the United States one overseas I Would You know I had this idea that I'm not sure how you do it, but where I think that it would be really really useful to To ban Graduates of elite colleges from ever disclosing that they went to an elite college This You it's not a joke It's deadly serious because what it does is it wonderfully clarifies the decision for the student of whether they want to go to an Elite college so you want to you don't want the kid going to Harvard who just wants the brand name Harvard You want the kid to go to Harvard who genuinely believes that he or she can get an education there that they can't get anywhere else Right. I want that kid So if I say you can come here and get a world class into the greatest education in the world But after you graduate you can never tell anyone where you went then I'm I'm weeding out all the Louis Vuitton Shoppers right and I'm getting the true scholars So I if there's a kid out there who says there is the certain professor one of my oldest friends is a professor at Harvard Terry Martin Huge fan of yours by the way Tyler. Oh, great Terry if there's a kid who says I want to take a I read Terry's book He's wrote a couple books. I want to do Soviet studies. I want to study with Terry. That's the kid. I want Right. I will and I don't actually I'm willing to go to any lengths to get that kid. I'll give him a I'll cut him a break. I'll keep him out of the lottery, you know I'll do all kinds of things but you want that kind of you want if you're running a truly elite college What you want to select for is someone who was the kid the kids who are most powerfully motivated to leverage the The institutional assets of the institution I'm sorry, the academic intellectual assets of the institution not the brand assets of the institution and now a truly important question How would you treat the faculty? Well, you know, there's a really interesting Site and I've forgotten to my eternal discredit who did it but that looks at trends in educational spending and points out that educational spending has gone like higher ed something's gone like that the share of Doll higher ed dollars that goes to faculty salaries When you do all the kind of it's basically been flat for 50 years So you'd pay us more. Oh, yeah, absolutely.
