RSA is a very common crypto system named after its three authors. So we have Rive Rivest, I apologize if I'm pronouncing their names wrong, Adelman and Shamir, for which RSA is then an acronym for that. This is one of the, oh, I think I went out of order there, I guess RSA, Shamir would come first. But anyways, it's kind of weird for authors in a mathematical paper to be listed non alphabetical order, so it really should be A, R, S, but whatever. RSA is what we're going to stick with here. So the RSA public key crypto system is a way for which we can get past some of these problems right here because Alice and Bob will actually have a public key that's made public to everyone.  So let me explain with respect to our fairy tale here. So instead of having a chest go back and forth between Alice and Bob, let's say that throughout the entire kingdom there are buckets all over the place. So in the common square, in the library, in Bob's kingdom, everywhere you see these buckets and inside of the buckets there are locks. And these locks are currently unlocked, right?  So if someone wanted to send something to Alice, they would then take their chest, right, and then they would put Alice's padlock on it. And so it would be shut and that Alice is the only way who can unlock the chest. So that way when this gets sent to Alice, she's the only one who can unlock it. And this is the idea behind RSA, this public key crypto system, that these public keys, these locks, are available to anyone, everyone. We publish this on our website, whatever. Everyone has access to this public key. But despite the fact that everyone has the public key, you might have Eve, who's going to come over here. It's like Eve, she takes a lock. She takes one of these public keys and she tries to study it. But no matter how much she looks at the lock, the fact that she has the lock, she still doesn't know the key. She doesn't have the key and she's unable to make her own key using the lock that Alice provided to everyone. This is the nice thing about a public key crypto system. So let's get into the details here. Let me show you how to implement the RSA crypto system inside of modular arithmetic, Zmodn here. So what Alice is going to do is she's going to choose her public key, which will consist of two things. First, she's this, the modulus of the group will be known. This could be a, this could be a shared modulus. So like Alice and Bob have the same modules, or in fact, they can make up their own. It doesn't matter. So Alice will choose some modulus. She's also going to choose some number E, which we often call it E because we really should be thinking of this as a exponent. So this is going to be public information. Now what Alice is going to do is she, in addition to her E, she's going to choose a private key D with the, with the property that D times E, when you raise M to the D power, this is the same thing as M, working mod N right here. So I said earlier that Alice and Bob probably use the same modulus. I actually misspoke. It would be much more secure that if Alice and Bob use different moduli. That way, even if Bob turns trader, Alice's communications with others will still be secure. So Alice will use her own modulus N. She'll use her own public key E, but then she has the secret number D, which she doesn't share D with anyone. No one, no one, no one, she takes it to the grave. But D and E have the property that the product of DE, when M is raised to that power, will give you back M. I'll show you how to compute that, these numbers E and D in just a moment. So let's first tell you how the public, how the, how the crypto system works. So Bob doesn't know the number D. This is a secret key. He doesn't see it. But what he does have access to is E and the modulus N right here. So if there's a message that Bob wants to send to Alice securely, what he's going to do is he's going to take his message and he's going to raise it to the E power and reduce it mod N. And of course, he should probably use the repeated squares algorithm to make this computation not endless, right? We want this to be done efficiently. So he would use the repeated squares algorithm to compute E to the M and reduce it mod N. This will then give the cipher text S for which then Bob will transmit the cipher text to Alice. All right? So Alice then receives the cipher text and because she knows, she knows the secret key, she's going to calculate S raised to the D power. Well, since S is just M to the E by exponent rules, which live inside this group, we're going to get M to the D E, but M to the D E is the same thing as M. Therefore, Alice is able to gain the original message that Bob was trying to send to her. And it turns out E's droppers like Eve would not be in a good situation to unravel this. So again, let's see how this protocol works one more time. So Alice and Bob are trying to communicate with each other. So Alice publishes her key. So she publishes the key E comma N. And so what Bob wants to do is he has a secret message M. He's going to then calculate M to the E power using Alice's private public key, excuse me. And then this computes the cipher text. The cipher text will be public knowledge. And so then he transmits that to Alice. Alice then takes this public cipher, the cipher text S, but then she's going to raise it to the secret power D. And then that will turn back to the number M right here. So just so we're clear, those things in yellow is going to be public information. Those things in red are going to be secret information. So that only Alice and Bob are aware. Now Eve, of course, who works secretly, right? She doesn't tell people the devious thing that she's up to. So Eve is going to intercept the cipher text S. And she also has access to Alice's public key. Everyone does because it's public. But can can Eve actually decode the cipher text using Alice's public key? Not if the not if things are chosen correctly, not if we have a good one way function. So let me explain how Alice creates her public or her private key so that Eve is unable to figure it out. Let's talk about how to make this work. That is, how does Alice actually compute her private key? And why can't Eve compute her private key? So when when Alice chooses her number E, she doesn't just choose any random number, she has to choose a number so that the GCD of phi and phi of N and E is equal to one. And so because if these numbers are co prime, that would tell us that E belongs to the group Z phi of N star. All right. So phi E of N star. So it's relatively prime. So we can compute the multiplicative inverse of this. And this follows from the Euclidean algorithm, essentially. So we can compute a linear combination of E and phi of N that combines to be one. The coefficient of E in this linear combination is its inverse. Therefore, the inverse, the multiplicative inverse of E will equal D when we're working mod phi of N. All right. And so this then has the property that when you multiply D and E together, you're going to end up with one minus K times phi of N. So why is this significant? Well, if you take any message X and you raise it to the DE power, well, DE is the same thing as one minus K phi of N, which if we rewrite things by exponent rules, you're going to get X to the first, then you're going to get X to the phi of N to the negative K power, again, just by exponent rules. Now Euler's theorem comes into play here, right? If you raise a number mod N to the phi of N power, that gives you back a one and one to any power like the negative K power is going to be one as well. So this simplifies to be X because we've chosen this element D in the strategic manner. And so therefore that shows why the decryption process will undo the encryption process. So we have a capacity to undo the encryption that Bob does, but why can't Eve do that? Well, what does Eve need to do? So if Eve will have E, that's public information, if she has phi of N, then she can compute that they're relatively prime, which Alice already did that. So then she could run the Euclidean algorithm to then compute this linear combination, which would give her the number D. And once she has the number D, she can then compute the cipher text to the deep power and give back the original message. So you might have noticed that in that conversation, there was an if, right? So Eve will have the number E Eve will have the cipher text. So she could calculate S to the D if she knew D. So how do you get D? Well, D you have to know phi of N and then you run the Euclidean algorithm, which she knows. So the secret is really based upon phi of N. How does she compute phi of N? And it turns out this is not an elementary, a simple calculation, right? So since Eve knows E and N, can she compute D? Well, like we said, it depends if she can compute phi of N. So if she knows phi of N, then she can compute D the exact same way that Alice does. So how do you go from N to phi of N? I mean, phi of N, of course, is just a function, right? Can't we just evaluate the function on N? Let's talk a little bit about this totion function a little bit. This totion function is a very important function from number theory. And it's a function which we call multiplicative, meaning it has the following property. Phi of 1 is equal to 1. And whenever the GCD of A and B is equal to 1, then phi of AB is equal to phi of A times phi of B. So when two numbers are co-prime, we can factor phi across those numbers and calculate those things individually. The thing about multiplicative functions is that in order to effectively compute, well, let me say it this way, if you have a factorization of the input of a multiplicative function, then you can very easily compute that function. But if you don't have the prime factorization, it might be very difficult to calculate a multiplicative function, perhaps virtually impossible. And that's the thing about phi that with phi here, the totion function, if you have the factorization of N, then phi is very easy to compute. But if you don't have the factorization of N, you basically have two options. You have to factor it or you're going to cry, because you basically can't, you can't compute phi of N without it. So basically to compute phi of N, you need the factorization, the factorization of N. And this is now the one-way function we're talking about here, because the inverse of factorization is multiplication. It's easy to multiply two numbers together, even if they're two large numbers. With a computer, we can multiply two large numbers together. Super easy. But factoring can be a very difficult process for large numbers. And so this is what Alice is going to do to make sure that Eve will struggle factoring. And because if she can factor N, she can find phi of N. Eve, or Alice doesn't want that to happen. So Alice needs to make the factorization of N very difficult. So what Alice is going to do is she's going to pick two prime numbers that are big, right? We're talking like maybe like 45 digits or more. She wants very big prime numbers, two distinct prime numbers that are very, very big. You don't want them to be too far apart, but you also don't want to be too close together. We won't get into all the details of that. But let's assume that Alice chooses two very large prime numbers, then she can compute their product N and she publishes that with her public key. But because Alice knows the factorization of N, she knows that phi of N, well, since N factors as p times q, phi will factor as p of q times phi of q, excuse me, phi of p times phi of q. Now, since these are prime numbers, the number of, those numbers co-prime to p will be basically everything less than p. So you get p minus one times q minus one. So phi of N can be computed as p minus one times q minus one. But without the factorization of N, this would be basically impossible to compute. So Alice keeps as a secret her factorization, because knowing the factorization is the key to finding her private key. Let's show you in some specific example how this works. We're going to start off with a very small example this time. So first, Alice is going to pick two prime numbers. So she's going to pick 53 and 59. Great, two digit prime numbers. And then the product is going to be 3,127. This is going to be public information. So this is part of Alice's public key. So she will publish N equals 3127. She also chooses the number three to be her exponent. So this information is in public. What she then will keep private will be the following. She's going to keep the factorization of N private. She doesn't tell anyone that it's 53 times 59. And because of that, she then can compute phi. So phi of N here is going to equal 52 times 58. And then from that, she can run the Euclidean algorithm and then compute that D is going to equal to 2011. Now let's imagine that Bob wants to send Alice the message 50. What's the significance of 50? Don't worry about that. But Bob wants to send this message to Alice. So what Bob's going to do is he's going to use her public key and he's going to compute 50 to the third power and reduce that mod 3127. That gives the cipher text 3,050. So Bob does not share with the world the plain text 50. He's going to send the cipher text 3,047. He sends that to Alice. Now Alice, because she has the private key, remember, she knows the factorization of N. Therefore she can compute phi of N. It's 52 times 58, like we said, which is going to give you 3,016. I should be doing this in red because this is all secret now. So 3,016. So running the Euclidean algorithm, she's going to take 3,016 divided by 3, her public key. That gives you 1,005 with a remainder of 1. Great. That was pretty fast. That's the GCD. So then the linear combination says that 3,016 phi of N, if you subtract from that 1,005 times 3, that gives you a 1. So therefore D is equal to negative 1,005, which if we reduce that mod 3,016, notice this is phi of N, you get then D, which is going to be 2011. That's how we computed it earlier. Therefore, Alice then just has to compute the ciphertext raised to 2011 power. And when you reduce that mod N, you end up with the plaintext 50. And Eve, because she can't factor two-digit numbers, can't get this message. Now obviously Eve can factor two-digit numbers. So let me give you an example that's being more realistic. And even still, these prime numbers are way too small for really professional security. If we want, if we have really secure information like with our banks or with national security or whatever, we probably need a higher level of encryption than what we're going to be doing in this example. But just so you know, we're going to be working with like 26-digit primes. This is definitely a problem that no one's going to be able to do by hand. And in fact, even with a computer, many would struggle to be able to crack this code here. So this time, Alice, she's going to be picking two basically 20-digit prime numbers. So she's going to pick P and Q. This is not shared with anyone. So for those viewing here, if you wanted to be able to create your own crypto system here, how could you select prime numbers? Well, one idea is we want to basically just choose random prime numbers. So we could pick a random number that's going to be between 25 digits and 27 digits. Okay. So you pick a random number in sort of like a certain range. And then you ask the computer to pick the next prime number. How does the computer do that? How does it can find these huge prime numbers? Well, that's because of the primality test we had talked about before. Magma, for example, can run primality tests and find the next number that's prime without having to factor all of them. And it can do this relatively quickly.  You run it once to get a random number and you run it twice to get a random number. I should confess that if you were running this, what you need to do is copy down your number somewhere because next time you run your message, if you didn't copy these things down and keep them somewhere safe and secret, it's kind of like Gandalf here. Is it secret? Is it safe? You got to keep these prime numbers safe here, but you also got to write them down because if they randomly generated the next time you compile the program, you'll get a new randomization and then you might have lost your information. Make sure it's written down somewhere. Copy and paste into a text file is sufficient here. So once Alice computes her two primes randomly, she then is going to multiply these two numbers together. So she's going to take N, which is P times Q, and then she's going to publish this number right here. So it's a pretty big, pretty big number. Factoring this thing would be very, very difficult. I would encourage the viewer to try to factor it. Even with a computer program like Magma, I dare you to try it. The free version of Magma will not be able to factor this. I'm not saying that no one in the world could factor it. Again, this is not professional grade cryptography here, but I can promise you the little toy version of Magma we're using is not powerful enough to factor this thing. This is a pretty good, these are pretty good prime numbers that Alice has chosen here. Anyways, so because she knows the prime numbers, so she published, she published her modulus, but she keeps her prime numbers secret. And because she knows the prime numbers, she can compute phi of N, which will be P minus one times Q minus one. So it turns out to be this number right here. All right, so that's that number she's going to keep secure. She doesn't teach, tell everyone that. Then she's going to choose a number E, which the only requirement for E is that E had to be, it had to be relatively prime to phi. So if you pick like E to be like a small prime number, like 19, then it's fairly safe that that's going to be co-prime, but you should probably do a check. So you're then going to run in Magma, the following command. You're going to compute inverse mod E slash phi, where this is the number we're trying to find the inverse. This is the modulus we're using. I've already saved phi in my computer program somewhere else. And so we're going to run D. It's going to be the inverse of E mod phi of N. All right, like we wanted before, this gives you the multiplicative inverse. And this is, we're going to store somewhere in a file. Again, maybe copy and paste this and put in a text file. It's a huge honkin number, but it's perfectly acceptable because this is the multiplicative inverse we want. So now here's the fun part. So Bob then wants to send Eve, excuse me, she wants to send Alice the message to if by C. What does that mean? Is it some historical reference to Paul Revere? Or is it something even more dastardly? We don't know. Is Alice and Bob the good guys or the bad guys? We don't know, right? It doesn't matter. So Bob is going to send the secret message to if by C to Alice. And so he's going to use this command encrypt RSA, which you can find the code to this in the link below. So Bob is going to encrypt the message to if by C. That is secret, but he's going to use Alice's public key, the E and the N are public information. All right. So he's going to encrypt that. That's going to produce the following cipher text, which is this big old thing that's like, whoa, what's going on there? So he's going to encrypt that and you're going to send it to Alice. Alice then when she receives this message, she is going to use her private key with the cipher text. And then she's going to decrypt it using the decrypt RSA. And that's going to then reveal the message to if by C. Let's run this in magma right here. So like I said, the code is available for this thing. So you can you can you can run it yourself if you want to. So what's necessary is there's a first command about pad message, we have to kind of turn the the English message into numbers are actually an array of numbers. And so when we did this in the previous lecture, we didn't do a very sophisticated way of doing it. I've improved that for this one. And so in addition to just basic letters, it'll accept upper and lower cases no longer now it is case sensitive. You can also include special characters, like spaces and things. So again, this is not as sophisticated as like the ASCII key code or something like that, but the coding and padding of the message is much more sophisticated this time. So then there's a procedure that turns the strings into numbers. And there's also a deep padding process. These are some helper functions you don't have to worry too much about. It's just a way of making the conversion between words and numbers because we have to do algebra on the numbers, but we actually have to read the words. So there's this conversion process. All right, then you have this function exp RSA. So this is going to be computing the this is going to continue the exponents mod whatever we need this function here because the message if it's super long will actually be an array of numbers. And so again, this will be doing the module exponents on the array of numbers. It's going to be a vector potentially. And then there's the commands encrypt and encrypt RSA and decrypt RSA. You can treat this very much like a bellach box if you want to. It's going to be running these messages. And so if we were to run something like this, what I actually want to show you here is I actually have my public key that I've created for the sake of this right here. So I'm going to copy this and by copy, I'm just going to make it no longer a comment. And so if you want to send me a message, like if you want to send me a secret message, we could do the following. We're going to encrypt RSA. We're then going to take the message. Let's see, what could we say something like that? We could say, oh, you know, Dr. Missildine is the bestest, is the bestest ever, you know, something, something super grand and very true like that. And then we encrypt it, we use the public key, the public key, and then we run this thing. And so this is then going to give us a message. Oh, I broke it. Did I use a lowercase n? I did. Make sure your variable names are called the right thing. Lowercase n. So run that. And so here's the message for which we could then send that. You could send that message to me so that I know that, you know, you love me so much, which of course, I'm not sure why you need to encrypt that message. That's something that we should make public. But by all means, there's encryption we could do here. Or, you know, if you wanted to be very dastardly, it's like the answer, the answer to question one on the test is B. You know, that's now a secret message that you might see. So now this was a little bit longer message. And so you see this actually turned it into an array. So there's actually two numbers because the message got something too big for the modules here. Now, admittedly, if you're going to cheat using the encryption protocol that I've created, I don't know why you would send that message to me. That's not a smart thing to do. But, you know, that's what encryption is all about. It's not sharing secret information that you want to be private. But me also, you know, you could be the good guy. You could be the bad guy. It's hard to tell. So have fun with this, with this version of RSA that you can run in magma. Send messages to your friend. It's going to be great. And we'll chat next time. Bye, everyone.


In other COVID-19-related developments, government has heightened efforts at ensuring a safe environment for visitors and nationals through the implementation of the Tourism Health Program. The Caribbean Public Health Agency, CARFA, continues to work with St. Lucia to fully implement the Tourism Health Program, THP. The program aims to strengthen the island's capacity to respond to public health threats, improve the health, safety and security of locals and visitors, and to build tourism resilience, reputation and economic sustainability. CARFA's Director of Surveillance, Disease Prevention and Control, Dr. Lisa Indore, explained that the implementation of the program will give St. Lucia an added advantage of promoting surveillance and other measures for healthier, safer tourism. Representatives of CARFA and relevant agencies in St. Lucia recently held a meeting so as to decide the way forward. We have a schedule of activities that actually started on Friday, where we had high-level meetings with the Ministers of Health and Tourism, Chief Medical Officer, and the St. Lucia Hotel and Tourism Authority, where we are coming together to develop a plan. The meeting that was held today is to really develop a plan of action, how we can best be able to have an implementation strategy specific for St. Lucia, that is for St. Lucia's capacity for their tourism capacity, hotels and guest houses and yachts and so on. Following that, this afternoon, we will be training on how to use the system, and then tomorrow, Tuesday, we will have advanced food safety training with certification, which is an international certification, then on Tuesday afternoon, we will have a meeting on improving cruise ship surveillance. St. Lucia has been working with CARFA for some four years now in the development of the tourism health program. Given the country's heavy reliance on the tourism industry as its main revenue earner, Chief Medical Officer Dr. Sharon Belmar George noted that as the number of arrivals increased, so does the risk of introduction of diseases. She explained that the program will aid in boosting the country's capacity to respond to public health threats. So this program, it strengthens the country's capacity to detect first of all in a timely manner any initial or early infections that may come in and also to be able to manage them in a very efficient way. So it really improves the health and safety of our people and also of the tourism sector as well. So it makes it a lot safer. One of the very important aspects of the program is the training that is done at the level of the workers, the officers and it includes both the accommodation sector like the various hotels and also the added activities related to the tourism industry. So the restaurants, the yachting, the cruise ship, all of those sectors would be a part of the program. CARFA facilitated a resensitisation of industry operators in the tourism health information system, TIS, on Monday 20th September and is facilitating a three day advanced food safety training certification workshop from Tuesday 21st September to Thursday 23rd September for environmental health officers, hoteliers and restaurateurs and a stakeholder consultation on cruise ship surveillance assessment on Thursday 23rd September. From the Government Information Service, I am Janelle Norville.


Are Filipinos half Asian and half Latino the internet is still debating this and we're here with the Filipino comedian to try to figure this out Oh, we're gonna settle it once and for all joining us today is Marcus Cardona. What up? What's up? One of the funniest comedians that people may or may not know about yet Marcus, let me just ask you the question that I've seen it on reddit quora, etc. Etc. Etc. Random colloquial Instagram discussions. Is it true that Filipinos are half Latino and half Asian? I'll explain this in the best way that I can figure it out, which is We identify as Asian but are Spanish inspired like a fusion restaurant It's a tasty fusion restaurant. Yeah, dude. It's what happens dude is our Latinos who are Latina girls who are in the anime Filipino we don't know we'll figure it out They identify as Asians Latina in the anime This was sparked by a reddit meme that says I'm gonna watch incanto and turning red they seem fun Hispanic generational trauma Asian generational trauma both beating up a Filipino. What do you think of this? I mean that meme that meme hits dude like it's the that's the that's the common ground in canto between Filipinos and Asians and like Spanish people and Filipinos just in the middle be like we'll take all that pain What side of it was Asian or I guess which side of incanto do you guys relate to? For Filipinos all the same all the same parts for sure We we don't talk about Bruno.  So does this mean since Filipinos exist Does this mean that? Latino culture and Asian culture have a lot more in common than we all think I mean I know that there are similarities Yeah, I think I definitely think that it's crossing over for sure, especially here in New York Half the time. I'm like, are you Filipino? It's just like no, just like a Latino with like wingtips, but it's fine Yes, that's just real but at the same time. I think that luckily Asian culture has moved forward But like we're the we're like the physical embodiment of like the cultures coming together So a lot of people in the middle will find like hang out hang out with us You know what is underrated though the Pacific Islander element because how you know what I've noticed like Sometimes nowadays people are like, hey, are we half Hispanic or half Asian? But the discussion in the past 10 20 years ago was are we Pacific Islander or are we Asian? Like when did the discussion switch to be like Hispanic or Asian?  Do you notice that? Yeah? I well I'll speak from personal is it because reggaeton got bigger Because the dancing vibes for sure. I think that definitely like someone found a sample and then mixed it in But I also think that for the most part when they introduced Pacific Islander on tax forms I checked it just because I'm like, maybe I'll get a refund or something. I have no idea But yeah, the argument there is because now I think more people have met Pacific Islanders after like Oh, are you like related to the rock? I'm like, no, that's a Pacific Islander or a Tongan And I'm like nope like Samoan like we all want that but we don't have the height for it Otherwise the Philippines would be crushing in basketball for sure because if we had more Pacific Islander, right I think you guys don't get the full Pacific Islander card because there's not enough Filipino linemen. Yep. No, that's true, too Yeah, I didn't know that's that's that's fair. There's not enough linemen or like I have a quantitative Breakdown of what I think is your median Filipino. I think your median Filipino You mean most common Filipino your most common Filipino And this is in general with the Philippines America. I know it could be different right is 65% Asian 20% No, no, yes, 65% Asian 15% Latino and that puts us as what 80 20% Pacific Islander. Okay, that's fair That's that's fair. I mean specific Islander as in we like identify with Moana and Lilo a lot for sure No, but what about that split Andrew come up with your split between the three and the test is if there's three pie slice Also, I want to see if you have better kumon math skills Actually have another number in my head I think it's a little bit more Asian. I would say it's 72% Asian and then I think it's I think the average Filipino was only 10% Hispanic or let Latino like Spanish, right? Maybe up to around 10 less than 8% 10% and then the rest is a Pacific Islander Mm-hmm, but but then again, what is Pacific Islander because? But Japan is a Pacific Island Japan is not Islands in the Pacific, but I'm saying where do we make the cut Guam, right? If you're Guam Samoan blood, right? You know Filipino Indonesian blood is that possible? I need to split between the three Oh the split between the three. If you could go in a fourth if you want me personally, okay, I'd say I'd say it's like 80 80% 80% Asian I'd say like a little higher on there like no matter what like we're watching Asians are watching k-dramas over like telenovelas like that's gonna be it I'd say 10% Spanish depending on Depending on how many traditional garbs you have from the colonizers from our people. What's up? And then I'd say an equal 10% Pacific Islander depending on how close you are to the water and if you like swimming Also, doesn't it matter how if you have the more Filipino last name or the Spanish last name? Yeah, but also at the same time. It's rare like I have cardons like a Spanish last name And then I have four names like Spanish tradition Christian like type 5 But I wouldn't say that that it's like just because the name and you know I knew a Filipino growing up from Eastern Washington. His name was Khalid Mohammed I think and he was from Mininau. Yeah, he was a Muslim So, you know, I mean, it's not there's even a lot of variation depending on when you yeah Once you want yeah, once you go to the islands it varies. It's it's like a brook. It's like a New York Borough, it's like a Filipino but not yeah, it's funny because on a lineup if you got Filipino comedians You could have like a Jose Rodriguez and then a Patricia dingless on yeah on the same bill and you're like, ah, they're both Filipino My question is when it comes to the rise of it this whole Asian wave that everybody's talking about Asians are coming up Asians are representation representation Do you feel in your heart that it includes Filipinos are Filipinos still benefiting from it? What is happening? What's your opinion? I definitely think Filipinos are benefiting from it, especially if there is a black audience I'm gonna be completely honest But I think there's like a crossover like within like that like with depending on which Asians you are caring towards like the younger Like hip-hop oriented or like the traditional like business Asian because like there's two different like specters of like that Like that's real talk Asian Asians who wear suits at the club or Asians who are still rocking out with their chains and like everything out going elsewhere I think yeah Filipinos are definitely involved there I think that if you have an Asian party and there isn't a Filipino There is less chance of karaoke or more fun happening Same thing with like other Asians being there like if you have Cambodians there might be a fight what like they just increases the odds Are Filipinos still the coolest Asians or have they been supplanted by South Koreans? Dude Koreans dude. There are Filipinos who are auditioning for K-pop groups who have learned Korean gotten the skin bleaching got the context dyed the hair I dyed my hair. It's fine. This isn't a Filipino inspiration. This is K-pop for sure But I do think yeah, I'm still I'm still a hundred percent like proud to be Filipina I still rough out but I feel like and this is just anecdotally It's not to say like Filipinos like it's just growing up Filipinos were like undoubtedly the coolest Asians because they were also the Most Americanized most hip-hop. Yeah, they played the most basketball They had like they had all the markings that when you were growing up in like the 2000s when you're like a kid back then you were like yo Filipinos they were the most involved in hip-hop rappers any rapper that came out you thought was probably Filipino and then in the past like 10 years it seemed like just the media from the Korean side and the East Asian side just got so much better But in a more fobby different way, you know what I mean? Yeah, like Filipinos are still the most coolest Americanizations from what I know Yeah, as far as I know, I think it's just because we're just easier to communicate with because if you go to a Korean hype Beasts you'll get shut down anyone. So I think that that might be the interpretation I still like you know, I do think that no matter what all the success of every Asian like Filipinas are in that like group But when do we get to like rotate to the front of the group? We don't know. We'll see Right. I'm moving on. This is another thing I pulled from Reddit. By the way when I'm pulling from Reddit I'm saying Reddit slash Filipino American Reddit slash Filipino Reddit slash Philippines What is going on with the ongoing internet beef? But potentially IRL beef between Filipinos in the Philippines and Phil Ames What are you aware of this because I actually wasn't super aware of it until I just looked it up Yeah, no my algorithm told me that my cousin had beef with me Yeah, I think that no matter what like again, I think it's it's definitely an ego pride thing And there is like a soul sense of pure a Pino which Filipinos love Bringing that up which is like even like we have phrases for like half Filipinos like mestizo and stuff like that to differentiate like the tears of it and then There are black Filipinos like APL from like black eyed peas and like, you know, there's a whole tier system But within just the beef between Filipinos and Filipino Americans I think that it's Filipino Americans like losing touch with like the language like a lot of us don't speak the language as well as we could And obviously like people in the Philippines get offended by that. But at the same time, I think Filipino Americans We like to rep the culture as much but not in the same way that Filipinos and the Philippines want us to so when Filipino Filipinos see us being like, oh, we're Filipino American like doing the culture and like wrapping as much as we can It's like seeing someone cause play a culture That's how I that's how I've interpreted it and I see it from like especially like watching those TikToks and like people being like Anyway, these Filipino Americans like that's the entire vibe that they give Between the beach which side are you on you reppin hard for a philip gang? Are you more with team? You see both sides. I see both sides like I think that for the most part at the same time I don't think that Filipino Filipino like the Filipino Filipinos who are vlogging and like uploading like tick-tocks about this They haven't been to the state so they also don't understand the situation or if they do go to the states They just see the Filipino dominant areas like the Bay area or like maybe like they go to New York one time It's interesting man I always thought this was interesting because like the Philippines is such a huge English-speaking market a lot of people high English Literacy, I mean, that's why sometimes when you call tech support. It's actually coming from the Philippines now Not just India. Hello. This is Kyle Hello, my name is George. How can I help you and then I'm like Chase Bank Call, please take a time to take a short survey. Yeah, so they speak really good English, but And nothing's like blocked. They're all on their phones. So it's a huge social media market So on all these posts about Filipino American things You can see a bunch of comments from Filipinos from the Philippines and that's not like every Asian market, you know Because a lot of other Asians like Chinese from China They're not maybe it's not as big of a market to be speaking leaving comments in English on Instagram same with like Korean So it's like you kind of like you guys get to communicate with your fob counterparts like directly Yeah, which is interesting like what's it like being able to talk with the with the fobs because I guess for other Asians We unless we're good at our mother language. It's hard to yeah Yeah, I'd say it's it's fine because at least you get to see how up to date They are on slang because I've definitely seen like some comments been like. Oh, they just learned Riz. This is great But at the same time I think that even though we have like commute like we can like communicate clearer I think that the viewpoints are so separate that even if communications great like the viewpoints are so Misguided because again like Filipino Filipinos want to see themselves represented in America But they want someone who just came fresh off the boat and is out there like repping Versus like someone who grew up in America has a completely different experience from overseas and then doesn't necessarily represent what they wanted back home All right, let's play this What can you guys unite on how can Phil Ames and Filipino from Philip the Filipinos and the Phil Ames Unite on things and team up. How can you guys benefit from each other? Okay, so one We can benefit off food.  We'll be like, you know, that's ours. That's our team Would you marry a Filipino woman like from the Philippines like a kind of a fobby? Yeah, but is that is that what? Yeah, I would right now. Okay. Yeah, I would but like how like what's the green card situation? What are we doing here? It's love but also am I being bought I was just like, okay But yeah, no, I think that like there's enough within the culture But also at the same time I think that it would also be a lot of me like it'd be very wrong comm ask as a relationship Where I'm teaching a lot about America and Philippines, you know, if Netflix wants to throw me a show about this I'll do this Really would like to see manga in a saw which is Jollibee's owned other like chicken and rice chain Make it to the US, but they're gonna not have to call it manga in a saw They're probably have to call it like Manila chicken or something. Yeah. Yeah, you gotta you gotta change I think that that could be a good they could be with the garlic rice and then they're just a chicken thigh Marcus, I don't know if you knew this but a Filipino food sometimes gets a bad rep kind of based off How it looks or like how texture? Yeah, and like, you know, there's it's not the top Sorry to break the news. It's not the top Asian food, but what are What are the the tie is killing I don't even know if Chinese is I Maybe but um What are the top Filipino dishes that that you think could cross over more into America that could be more popular in America? Like we know Lumpia is good.   There's a big difference It has like as texture as crunch. It has seafood and chicken I think that's another weird combination because as soon as you start mixing the meats people freak out about that I'd say yeah, Palau book definitely up there Would you get a Jollibee's? Yeah Yeah, can allow which if this is for like the pickled people because this is coconut vinegar and everything like that Can allow it with seafood like that's like a ceviche that should cross over for sure And then even like just Filipino paella because I'm like again Spanish influence. I'm like it's there But just like no, we want real paella. I'm like, okay. Have you tried this paella? So Filipino paella, or is it fire? sweet swap out That's actually yeah fire. Yeah, we just mispronounced it Last but not least I got to break down, you know, I had to say this And we were supposed to do a video with AJ Raphael years ago called the five or seven types of Filipinos But then we're gonna need to do it for like every race So we ended up not doing it because I didn't know how people were gonna take it I had to think of archetypes or all these different things and so things What are the different commonly seen archetypes of Filipino Americans? I just starting off the one off the top of my head. I got dancer the choreo dancer Maybe b-boy. I know the b-boy crowd.  We got them Brian Puspos is and like everyone is a jabba walkie majority of the jabba walkies are Filipino Those mask off flat noses But um, yeah, that's definitely up there for the hip-hop one. I definitely have also Played in that role for sure. And that's also you know how to b-boy or do choreo. Yeah, I used to yeah I'm like, I'm I'm I'm gonna evolve into like one of the older Filipinas Yeah, I feel like a lot of hoopers at least amongst the guys a lot of guys who play basketball Pretty a lot of hours a week. Yeah, there are I've never seen more jerseys of Kobe than in the Philippines and same thing with LeBron But it's mostly Kobe in LA. They're all LA Lakers fans. Um hype beast. Yep. The hype is for sure man Definitely in like shoes. It's always gonna be a flex. I'll say this it We're just like time out the younger Filipinos older Filipinos the Tito's their hype is essentially you never see like the brand flex More than those ladies But instead of like ALD it's like what why oh, yeah YSL The Christian guy. Yep, the Christian guy the guy and this also crosses over with singing Filipinos because they got good somewhere And it was the choir Would you say the singing choir church Filipinos are even generally speak to Golic better too Yeah, they do because they have to learn they also don't learn the the Tagalog songs for like the choir Yeah, yeah, I feel like that there tend to be a little bit more Filipino. Yeah, yeah for sure Like but that's like that's like the out like it's like oh, can can you dance? No, I can sing my way into God's Like heaven, but also pain like that's it. That's like the vibe Oh, I remember I was in LA and you'd be at a restaurant and then during like Some to like a Filipino with a guitar and a Filipino singer would walk into even a Mexican restaurant Yeah, start singing all different types of songs, but even Feliz Navidad in Spanish But they'd be Filipino and they were just spreading the the gospel in the holiday cheers Yeah, it's it's more approachable than like do you have a moment to speak to Jesus and I'll sing I got a group I got the old-school hip-hop Tito who he used to DJ maybe DJ the wedding maybe DJ'd for Snoop Dogg Warren G He might have a graffiti book. He probably can MC a little bit do some running and he definitely is like the leader of the one Headphone on one headphone off constantly talking Well, I don't want to forget about this Filipino the nerdy geek Filipino that is more like Anime for like the Comic-Con Filipino like when I went to Comic-Con and even I've been to anime con believe it or not And there were so many more Filipinos than I thought like they just like Filipinos are in the subculture Like hey, like these were some collectors you may be I'm not a collector, but I get it I get it But also I think that's its own brand flex because I'm like yo, I got the official Yu-Gi-Oh look I got the I got the Pokemon first edition. It's one of 400 Now by I also I also see the nerdy Filipinos that's definitely that's definitely up there We see you guys and thank you for making white women accept us easier Is there any other ones that we're leaving out like cuz you even have some different archetypes within your own family, right? Yeah, yeah, I'd definitely say within the Filipino community like right now We have like the ones who don't claim that they're good at singing or dancing sort of reject Yeah, macro stereotype or they're the ones that just sort of like hey I know that this is like a big thing of our culture, but I can't like fulfill it They're like the elves who can't make toys. They're just like they're part of it I'm not singing Mariah Carey at like and everybody else like karaoke. Yeah. Yeah, and it's it's it's unfortunate But it's it's like, you know, they're still there good for a good vibe and also Filipinos who can't cook Those are the big three that are being like kind of like we're like support groups are being started because I'm like I'm supposed to be good at one of them, but I'm not good at one of them. I'm like, alright But I think that they're like no matter what as long as like you're happy to be like within the company of Filipinos But also at the same time being a person who just Includes everyone. I think that's also another thing of Filipino culture is just hospitality because even though these are separate groups Every group kind of like will try to like expand to like include everyone. I would agree with that.  Oh, you're the guitar Filipino. We're beefing. Yeah, no It'll be still like love at Fasa was it called friendship days Shout out to friendship days Anyway guys, let us know What you think of all our breakdowns of the reddit questions in the comments section below and it's just an interesting talk You know, I always want to tell people these talks are not designed to divide people They're designed to just delve more into like something that's very real and unite people while acknowledging people's real differences Yo, check out Marcus Cardona working. They find you you'd find me on Instagram at Marcus Cardona And also all other social media threads and also if you guys want a game I'm also on twitch at neurotic underscore fodder hell.  All right check them out. Thank you so much for watching it until next time we out


This is Witchspace News for Friday the 13th of May 2022, I'm CMDR Buur. In Elite Dangerous News this week, as Salvation fires his super weapon at the Thargoids, is it all it's cracked up to be? There's important upgraded functionality for two of Elite's third party apps, with news on some impending planetary collisions and more. To make sure you don't miss any of our videos hit like and subscribe and remember to click the little bell icon and select all notifications and if you'd like to help directly support this channel you can also join our Patreon via the link in the video description. Everyone's favourite bargain basement Lidl's own brand Messiah, Salvation, was as anticipated in action again this week. Determined to prove that the best cure for a persistent problem with a wasp's nest in your loft space is to jam a stick in there and then wiggle it about furiously he fired the secretive super weapon again this week in an effort to clear three systems in the bubble of Caustic Coleslaw. At first sight the Galnet article about the firing of Salvation's Salad Slaying super gun might read exactly the same as all that has come before it but it does contain some subtle details that are easily overlooked. On the nature of the devices that are essentially powered by Guardian material bin diving the article states that the devices generate an electromagnetic pulse that disrupts the biomechanical technology of the Thargoids so it's essentially a big system wide EMP that seems tuned to mess with the aliens version of technology specifically leaving humans and human tech untouched so far at least. That's certainly more than we knew before. The other interesting wrinkle comes when the article describes the resultant effect of Salvation's triumphant galactic stick wiggling. When the weapon was first used in the corn star system the effect was undoubtedly devastating bodies in the system were suddenly littered with Thargoid debris and crashed vessels and reports state that the Thargoids that did survive the unexpected attack withdrew into which space. When the super weapons were used again in Operation Trihammer in the Pleiades region just 27% of the hostiles were destroyed in the Delphi system with 98% of the surviving hostiles withdrawing into which space. In this latest use of the weapon thus far at least we've seen and heard no reports of Thargoid wreckage and Galnet is reporting that the hostile vessels simply withdrew into which space. When the Thargoids first appeared independent pilots learned how to kill the Cyclops interceptors a new variant the Basilisk then appeared tougher, meaner and more deadly. We learn how to kill those and they were then superseded again by the Medusa and again by the Hydra. Given Salad Nation's latest results in the bubble i.e no kills but rather a simple withdrawal of the Thargoid menace you could argue that the Thargoids learn from their attackers and adapt their technology to defend against the new threat. What's more historical evidence would seem to further suggest that having survived and learned from the attack they then return with something tougher and meaner to counter it. Are we on the cusp of some sort of new murder marigold emergence? Salvation's frantic stick wiggling experiments are driving the narrative thread in the game towards something. It seems extremely unlikely to me that this will end with everyone saying sorry and instead sitting down together with a nice cup of tea. A new tool was added to the Spanch Elite Dangerous Routing website this week that serves as a sort of road to riches for exo biologists. The expressway to exo mastery router asks that you enter a start and a destination system a radius for its search the jump range of your ship and a few other simple criteria before it then calculates a route that gets you to your destination via stopovers to investigate and scoop up valuable exo biological data to help you on your way towards elite in exobiology. And while we're talking updates to valuable tools for elite the Odyssey Materials Helper app which is our recommended essential aid to Odyssey Engineering this week added the same functionality that it offers for Odyssey Engineering to those looking to engineer their ships. Choose a module weapon or utility engineer or tech broker unlock and the helper will now guide you through what you need and in what quantities as if it wasn't valuable enough already. As an example of what it can do away from straight engineering it was hinted again on Galnet this week that an upcoming community goal will likely require the use of corrosive resistant cargo racks. If you haven't yet unlocked the racks yourself and you didn't acquire any in last week's Thargoid centric community goal then the material helper will list what you need and how many you have in your inventory already. And one final point this week while we're talking about the CG from last week it was noted on Galnet this week at the resolution of the goal that the higher prices being paid for meta alloys by the James Sneddon Starport in the Morton Mart system will continue so whilst the community goal may have finished the cash bonanza for harvested meta alloys very much hasn't a fact that will no doubt utterly overjoy the alien meta munching laser lilies and further endear them to our curious ways. Commander LCU No Fool Like One of Canon Research noted on twitter this week that he's been hunting for planetary collisions in Elite Dangerous and has now found over 5000 likely candidate worlds. Of particular note in his research is a possible planetary collision that involves a landable atmospheric world in 2023. Planetary collisions in Elite are something we've witnessed here on a few occasions and whilst they are actually quite rare Elite has millions of worlds in its database with new ones being discovered every day so the odds of one showing up especially after a deliberate search by a dedicated individual or team of individuals obviously increases. They are actually quite a thing to behold especially if you can land at the point of impact and witness the event from ground zero in fact we've made a video about that very thing that you'll see linked on screen now. Before you get too excited however don't go expecting any planetary level fireworks to accompany the collision. The planets in Elite were never designed to actually hit each other and so whilst spectacular to witness the two stellar bodies do very much continue on their way after their brief liaisons. That said they are still definitely worth pursuing if the opportunity presents itself. I've linked below to the canon calendar that tracks these events and gives locations for them. There's at least one that is relatively close to the bubble that occurs every eight days or thereabouts so you won't be waiting long to witness one. My huge thanks to Commander LCU No Fall Like one for his assistance with the news this week. Frontier posted their now weekly Discovery scanner update to the forums on Monday this week. The post by Community Manager Zach highlights weekly regulars like Commander creations and any significant community happenings for the week and also underlines what has happened in the previous week and talks about the week ahead and what to expect. This week's post talks in particular about the news from last week's Frontier livestream where they mapped out the next three updates for the game, sketching rough launch windows and giving an indication at least of what to expect in those updates. It's worth noting that the Frameshift live live streams are now on a fortnightly cycle and the next one is scheduled for Thursday next week. The next update for the game, update 12 is scheduled for deployment before the end of May and next Thursday is the last scheduled Frameshift live of the month of May so we think it highly likely that Frontier will be talking about update 12 and what to expect in it on next week's show. A show which is by the way the one year anniversary of the launch of Odyssey. Yes really it's been a year and indeed what a year it's been. As we've previously reported, update 12 as well as delivering a new mission type to the game is planning a further raft of optimisations and fixes. What we missed however in the original forum post was the small mention of quality of life improvements as well. Quality of life updates are always a welcome addition and we're wondering what will likely be included in that vein for this update. Well that little display at the side of the commander's chair on the bridge of the fleet carrier become usable maybe. If you have any particular quality of life updates you'd like to see let us know in the comments below. With regard to the rest of 2022 past update 12 Zach's post underlines again that update 13 and 14 are scheduled for August and November respectively and these updates will be focused on new narrative threads in the game and these threads will be more than a continuation of the story on Galnet. Frontier aren't saying any more at the moment about what's contained in these updates but have promised more details nearer the time and they're recommending that players keep an eye on goings on as the Azimuth Saga in particular reaches its conclusion. The Azimuth thread has been running for over 18 months now and if you're not up to speed on everything that's happened since the ghost ship Adamasta arrived in the Chukchan system then fear not. You can't get left behind amongst the useful links that we maintain in the description of every video we post on this channel including this one is Frontier's official summation on the forums of the Azimuth Saga story so far. Zach's post about the content in the game finishes by reiterating again that any fears that the game has no more content arriving into 2023 are unfounded and that a new narrative for 2023 has a part to play in that content. Interesting times ahead. Will you be following the path to exobiology supremacy grabbing yourself some new corrosion resistant cargo racks or are you perhaps planning on chasing down a planetary collision? Let us know in the comments below. That's it for now. Thanks very much for watching. We'll be back later this week with more videos. Until then, 07 commanders follow the greens on the way out and do keep clear of the toast rack. We very much look forward to seeing you next time.
