Hey, guys, good evening, everybody. Welcome to another edition of AxisandTrader.com. Nightly Wrap-Up Show, hope everybody is doing well. So rotation, right? Rotation, we saw the rotation yesterday. Airlines, hotels, anything to do with leisure, that was great. Again, what they did provide is the same reason why I don't trade them every single day. They're one hit wonders. They're always one hit wonders. But again, the greatest part about yesterday was there was actually money flow that was chasing these prices. And if you look at them, what happened day two, absolutely nothing, right? Dallas up a little bit. Boeing gave back absolutely everything, pretty much everything.  CCL, again, they had a shot to go to the second day, and they never did it. Again, these are one hit wonders. This is why you trade these things for very special situations. And if they can't get going, they get lost back in the shuffle. And nobody cares about them for another six months. What I like about today, sticking with the theme of rotation, well, the money had to go somewhere. Most of beta did rest. We did have continued strength in Alibaba, continued strength on Facebook. And at least we now know why those mysterious out of the money call buyers were coming for the last couple of weeks. If you guys remember, I've been talking about really weird option flow on Facebook. Today they announced they're putting some sort of eBay slash checkout on Instagram, basically another way to kind of monetize, to make transactions. And the stock really exploded, right? Like really, really did well. And it closed at 52 week highs. And now it looks incredibly well. And again, you're seeing really deep, continue to see really deep out of the money calls on this name. Alibaba, again, just a really great move. It broke out a couple of days ago. And what not is yesterday, what not's today. We'll show you the bottom of the channel where it stopped perfectly. So that was cool as well. But again, what I like about today, and again, I keep on saying that, but what I like about today was the money from yesterday's leisure and transport, transport and airlines and all that stuff, how to go somewhere. And they went into the EV space, right? And normally you would turn around and say, well, Tesla must have exploded, right? For these things to, well, not so fast. What Tesla did do structurally today was, again, they tested the rising five-day. Again, the five-day moving average is the purest form of short-term sentiment. They held and they bounced. So again, setting up for a really, really interesting channel for tomorrow, which I will definitely watch. But again, sticking to the theme of rotation and speculation money, it went into names that again are quiet for like three, four months and then they wake up. Look at NIO, went absolutely nuts today. We saw really aggressive call buyers today all morning, okay? We saw the 15s, the 16s, the 17s, the 18s, the 19s, the 20s. So very, very aggressive move. But again, it didn't even stop there with NIO. Again, a lot of the other electric vehicle names started popping up. So it was a very good barometer that the mantra of this market is even if the leaders rest, okay, they will wake up other things because again, a resting giant eventually will wake up. We're gonna segue that in a second. WKHS again, another perfect example of one of these electrical car vehicle. And again, big call buying this morning. You saw the 17s, the 18s, the $19 calls. And again, it was a great, it was a beautiful pivot day. Absolutely beautiful pivot day. It closed at the high of the day. Again, we'll get into individual pivots in a second. But the most important part, right? And today was a pretty solid day. But the most important part, what I like for going into tomorrow, right? Remember the sleeping giants, right? We just talked about a couple of minutes ago. They bought time, right? They bought a couple of days. They relaxed, okay? They yawned a little bit. They stretched their legs. And now it's time for them to stretch their legs. And if you start looking at 60 minute channels for this evening and kind of correlate them into daily, you'll notice a couple of things. Again, right? Biggest sleeping giant in the mall. Or at least the craziest sleeping giant in the mall. Again, like I mentioned, held the five day moving average. And it's so close, right? If they can just take out this area here, tomorrow it could wake up very, very aggressively. Amazon, again, really big moves, right? Really big candle yesterday. Aggressive candle today. Not as aggressive as yesterday. Again, we'll talk about the pivots in a second. But you can see here, right? You can see here. You can see the daily chart. What's about to happen or potentially could happen? Again, this is a good thing. If you trade beta, this is a wonderful thing. If you look at Microsoft, again, late day call buying. Look how Microsoft is setting up to this whole channel here. So you kind of get the point. Zoom, right? Zoom had a couple of days off. It woke up. It stretched its legs, stretched his arms. Again, that's the theme. It potentially could stretch tomorrow.  So what happened in the last three days were very, very productive. A lot of names that had big, big runs, they rested, okay? Money flow went into other names that had their day in the sun, whether they're the airlines, whether today, for example, the electric vehicles. But now we're getting back, we're potentially about to get back into the meat and potatoes of what I do. And obviously that is beta, okay? And if a lot of these names, if they do wake up, even the video, right? Even the video that had a monster run rested for a couple of days. Look at this channel. Look how tight this channel is. Again, tomorrow you definitely need to buy Alibaba, continue to buy Facebook on any rising 60-minute dips. But these are the other companies that are, again, gonna start waking up. And if they do wake up, we will be looking for a really good potential premium day. Now again, like I say this in front of any potential premium day, as much as I think this is gonna happen, as much as I'd like this thing to happen, as much as I want this thing to happen, again, the key is we let it happen. We wait for confirmation. We don't wake up tomorrow morning and start buying things pre-market on the anticipation that these stocks are gonna confirm their channels. That's suicide. Doesn't make any sense. Again, do not anticipate. Don't overthink. Let it confirm, right? Let it put it a new high, retrace, second entry, all that good thing, measure potential, let the trade come to you. Again, have an opinion? Yes. Have a bias? Let everything play out.  Let everything play out. There's specific levels for every single company that needs to build and reclaim. And once they do, again, if you believe in the theory of stocks trade from supply to supply, demand to demand, well again, potentially tomorrow we will be looking at a big premium day. Fingers crossed. That's it. Fingers crossed. And the moral of the story is let's wait, patiently wait, like statues in the park until a bird comes and craps all over our face, right? That's what statues do. So pretty solid day. I was actually very pleasantly surprised about today's action. I even traded one of these EV players, this workhorse, which was pretty good trade. But tomorrow is definitely going to be unnecessary for the market if it wants to continue the speculation trade. And if you look at today's pivots, again, I started putting in a lot of pivots today into the channel. And my morning notes were you have to be a little bit more patient this morning as many beta names are either in middle ranges and are tired. Now again, for all you guys at home, when a stock is tired, it doesn't mean it's a short, okay? When a stock is tired, it's just tired, okay?  You're tired. So a lot of these names, you know, will give sellers or potential sellers or potential short sellers a very, very bad indication that they're about to roll over aggressively only to come into the rising 60 minute channels, trap uneducated late shorts and get absolutely run over. That happens every day. And you can see it, that happens today with Tesla, that happened today with Apple, that happened today with shop, that happened today with Microsoft, that happened today even with Alibaba. And again, we'll talk about where shorts got trapped this morning. So again, understand the difference between a stock that is tired and is drifting lower or a stock that needs to be sold or shorted. Selling or short selling takes place underneath demand. It doesn't take place above demand, it's underneath demand. And right now, with this type of environment, you wanna buy stocks into rising demand. You don't wanna short them there. Because again, if the market continues and this bull theme expands and filters through 2021, again, the last thing you wanna do is start pounding bids on rising support. And again, if you look at today's day, and again, I put in a bunch of pivots that none of them triggered, literally none of them triggered. CCL didn't trigger. Angie didn't come close to triggering. SFIX stopped right at 26, didn't trigger. Boeing, I said, well, surely sell. This thing's gonna have a day to run, never came close. Twitter is sure so, gonna have a day to run, never came close. FMCI never came close. Now here's again, here's my whole point in this type of environment of buying strong names on rising 60-minute support. So if you look at my message here, this is pre-market, Baba's 60-minute support is 275.50, 276, experienced trader, it's a bounce play. And again, here's my point, right? So here's the 60-minute view, right? Here's the 60-minute view on Alibaba, right? Look at the low. You see this whole rising support? That's what I mean by rising 60-minute support. You see the low here, right? It touched 276 and just went absolutely nuts.   You have all these weird lines in your charts there. Yeah, this is the reason why I have these little charts and all these weird spaghetti-looking charts because these are the areas that you can identify that emotional sellers came into technical buyers, right? And when you see technical sellers coming into emotional buyers, again, this is why all these little silly lines, right? They're all in my charts. They give me an indication of where supply and demand, emotional levels are being risen and where technical levels are supposed to get embraced and get rejected. So again, that's kind of the theme going forward, especially for tomorrow. Any week open on Facebook, on Alibaba for tomorrow, on Microsoft for tomorrow, I wanna watch them into 60-minute support, 100%. This is definitely the play to go. Roku, you know, it's just a frustrating stock, man. Every single time I think this thing's gonna wake up, just doesn't wake up, not only doesn't wake up, doesn't even come close. Workhorse was great. There's nothing else to say. Workhorse was great. 1670 needs to build. So that's where I got long.  Here's the whole 1670 just went out of its mind. It traded as high as, say, 1826. Again, here's what we're talking about rising support. You see this orange line, right? That's what we're looking for tomorrow. We're looking for rising support. And if it opens up there, if you notice every single time and hits this orange line, right, boop, boop. Again, these are emotional sellers meeting technical buyers. So we wanna definitely watch tomorrow a workhorse for a dip, a beautiful move. I mean, really, really beautiful move. Not, I didn't expect to trade it today, but it was a great trade. It was a really, really good trade. Nothing, no complaints there. Zoom, again, we're starting to see, and again, this is what we're talking about the options market, guys. We are seeing $300 weekly calls, okay? The stock right now is at what? 280, what was it, Zoom, 291, right? So we're seeing $9 out of the money calls for Friday. Now, keep this in mind before you turn around and say, well, it's probably for earnings, it's not. They report earnings on Monday. So somebody's betting that this thing's gonna have a pre-earnings run. I get it, right? COVID, this, that, the other thing, I get it. So here was the pivot here, 288.50, 289 needs to build. I said there's a shot against the 294. So here was the pivot right here, right? Here's the whole pivot right over here, and it took out that 289 level and traded right to 293.72. So big move there. Congratulations to you guys, it caught Zoom. Perfect, again, here's what I told them about. 300 call buyers, very, very odd. It does look like they want to set up a run for tomorrow. Amazons continues to be really good, okay? And this is what happens when there's really good companies that come out of ranges. They usually make big moves. A couple of days ago, yesterday, when we have a 60-point move on Amazon, right? Today, rejected twice. 33.25 needs to build, and here is Amazon, right? Here's Amazon, here's the, right here. You see this 33.25? So it took out 33.25, and it traded all the way up into the mid-50s. Again, it is setting up. All it needs to do is reclaim this channel, and if you miss this channel, you can reclaim this channel here. But again, it's the old song and dance. 34, 35, 36, $3,700 weekly calls on the name. Definitely something to watch. Big move on Amazon, great move there. Baba's ripping a tad, a tad. So I set here 344 supply, 294 on deck. DKNG, nice little move on DKNG. DKNG, another one, again, is going to definitely benefit, especially from football. People are huge, huge. I know people bet on baseball and basketball and stuff, but the junky gambler wants football. And football is starting in a couple of weeks. We saw DraftKings today. The $40 calls, the $41 call, the $42 calls. Again, weekly call buyer coming in. 39.30 needs to build to test highs. That's exactly what it did. Here was DraftKings, for some reason I call it DiamondKings, but here's DraftKings. Here was the sneaky pivot I was talking about. This 39.30, and it took out the highs of the day. It went all the way to 40.06. New highs, new highs, new highs on deck. So we're set up for tomorrow. We're definitely set up for tomorrow. Again, the bull market continues to be incredibly strong. I would love to see some other participation from a Netflix, from a Roku, maybe from a Beyond, right? Because again, a lot of these names are so overbought, okay? You're always in the back of your mind, thinking to yourself, well, is this going to be the day they're going to reverse? Is this going to be the day you reverse? Again, we don't want to think, we want to react. So I'm definitely watching Tesla tomorrow. I'm definitely watching Amazon tomorrow. I'm definitely watching Facebook and Alibaba on Dips. I'm definitely watching Microsoft tomorrow. Roku, any day now, okay? And Baba, and Baba on Dips. And obviously I want to see second day moves in NIO, very, very strong, WKHS as well. So guys, have a great night. Again, I want to thank you for all the support, all the emails, all the correspondence, all the conversation. You guys are awesome. And with God's help, I'll see you all tomorrow. Take care.


The Global Cyber Threat Environment, Module 1. Objectives Once you have completed the readings, lecture, activity, and assessment, you will be able to list the United States four major cyber adversaries. Define Advanced Persistent Threat. Welcome to the Global Cyber Threat Environment, Module 1. During this course, we will look at the United States' most formidable cyberspace adversaries as well as non-state actors on the cyber threat landscape. In this module, we will summarize the threats of our major cyber enemies. Most intelligence experts assess the United States' greatest cyberspace threats to be Russia, China, Iran, and North Korea, with each having its own offensive capabilities to affect various outcomes. Russia possesses numerous cyber tools but focuses largely on information operations or techniques of deception and psychological operations, such as dissemination of propaganda to disrupt an adversary's ability to make logical informed decisions. China, on the other hand, uses cyber capabilities to commit espionage or the theft of information from governmental or corporate databases, often for economic or military advantage. Although Iran is not as capable as Russia or China in terms of cyber capabilities, the country is quickly catching up. Strict economic sanctions prevented Iran from obtaining advanced computing technology for many years. However, the sanctions regime ended in January 2016, and Iran may now make enormous strides in its capability to conduct cyber attacks. One area of particular interest to Iran seems to be breaching adversaries' industrial control systems. This is likely due to the country's own victimization by the Stuxnet worm in 2009, which affected an industrial control system at one of Iran's nuclear facilities. North Korea likely has the least cyber capability of the four countries just mentioned, although it has managed to wreak havoc on several U.S. corporations. In 2014, for example, North Korea launched a devastating cyber attack against Sony Pictures, after threatening Sony not to release the motion picture comedy The Interview, which was highly critical of North Korea's leader. Unlike Russia, China, and to a certain extent, Iran, North Korea employs its cyber capabilities to gain respect from the international community. This allows North Korea to punch above its weight, for instance, as it has been largely marginalized by the international community. China and Russia are believed to have initiated cyber technology research programs after witnessing the United States' quick victory over Iraq in the 1991 Gulf War. Both China and Russia were shocked and awed by the United States' sophisticated computer-enabled military operations. China was especially concerned with the United States' ability to wage such high-tech war, particularly because China's military relied on more primitive technology similar to Iraq's. Both China and Russia subsequently initiated long-range strategic development programs to upgrade their military capabilities, with the goal of creating their own net-centric militaries. Even as it ramped up technologies, however, China believed that the United States had become over-reliant on technology, and began research on how to asymmetrically exploit and disrupt this over-reliance. Russia, China, Iran, and North Korea have varying degrees of capability and technological know-how, but each generally organizes its cyber efforts, whether for disruption or theft of information, into advanced persistent threats, or APTs. Depending on the size of the effort, dozens or even hundreds of computer experts may be found in the same office building, all with the same express mission, for the sake of efficiency and unity of effort. For instance, China's APT, Byzantine Hades, may have succeeded in stealing classified designs of the United States F-35 fighter jet. These efforts by China to steal advanced military technology makes sense, as China aims to reach military parity with the United States by 2050. Although this course focuses on Russia, China, Iran, and North Korea, we will also address such non-state actors as international cyber-criminal syndicates and terrorist organizations. Organized cyber-criminal organizations are quickly gaining capabilities that only nation states were thought to possess a few years ago. We will also cover some theories about how threat actors may be deterred in cyberspace, although as you will see, a deterrence doctrine for cyberspace is still early in the making. Some notes about the logistics of this course. The textbook for this course is Introduction to Cyberwarfare, a multi-disciplinary approach. In addition, suggestions for related academic journal articles may be provided in some modules. Most modules will open with a statement of student learning outcomes, followed by a short lecture. You will then have the opportunity to answer quiz questions related to the material, as well as view the answers to those questions. Finally, the module may include an activity to integrate the material more effectively. If you have been assigned to take this course as part of an official training program, your instructor may ask that you submit your quiz or activity responses for grading or credit. Now let's get to the meat of the course. Continue this module and progress through the course's additional modules for successful completion. Quiz Question 1. Which of the following nation-states is not considered to be among our most formidable nation-state adversaries? A. Afghanistan, B. Iran, C. Russia, D. China, E. North Korea? The answer is A. Afghanistan. Quiz Question 2. An advanced persistent threat, APT, can best be described as which of the following? A. A highly organized, continuous process of computer hacking, often orchestrated by a nation-state or highly sophisticated criminal entity for the purpose of targeting a specific type of information or person for exploitation. B. A type of malware that is able to take mere images of specific computer networks. C. A type of logic bomb invented by the U.S. military. D. A strategic threat posed by one of the U.S.'s major adversaries that has the potential to disrupt the majority of industrial production in the country. The answer is A. A highly organized, continuous process of computer hacking, often orchestrated by a nation-state or highly sophisticated criminal entity for the purpose of targeting a specific type of information or person for exploitation. C. Activity, provide a one-page reflection about your current level of knowledge about the United States' four major cyber adversaries, including such things as their system of government, human rights record, technology development, history with the United States. Save your reflection to compare and contrast your thoughts at the end of this course.


All right, let's take a look at this And as we're going through this you have a few notes here Some things are better some things are worse. I should ignore the wings and the tail for now You can add some noise and shakes to a lot of places to make the body parts feel more connected and the final roar Is just as rough as before probably even worse Those are your words Let's see and I would say worse, but it kind of has the same notes as Someone before where this feels very very separate where I see a rotation kind of out of that middle part, but I don't see It's not quite it feels like disconnected from here on like there's nothing really influencing this section as you do this But the same thing as you go up and watch out. It's almost a bit Timed with the wings. So I know you have wing Notes to address but just watch out if you can I would probably go ahead first just because it would be a stronger silhouette See here Because they also flash up pretty quickly. I think you might get away with He has that moments and they can open up a bit. Maybe but not higher than this Ish So you have a nice clean silhouette so the head can go up and I would do a head that kind of Snakes up and not has that kink here And then as it's about to be done, then you can follow up with the wings A will help you to have not such static wings at the end And it leads to me it will lead more with grief. I know this is a weird comment, but this it's kind of like This is being processed in here and then And then all that pain and everything radiates out That is a weird comment But that's kind of how I'm looking at it where I would lead with the head and then you get just the head only first with a Nice silhouette and the horns in the mouth and then Imagine it starts here and ends here and ends here. It's kind of like a fanning out of um What's it called that that energy it's almost like this And So to me it would be you know head first and then everything else kind of reacts to that Um, but before you do any of this, um, I would address a couple things here. So There's some really good stuff in terms of You know all the cool details the posing I'll still really like your crossing over of legs here There's some stuff going on here with the toes. There's some good timing of slowing down and speeding up And getting to the kid all that stuff is great Um I know there's some detail things where this feels a bit where you can kind of bring down an ankle Let's get a bit more of a flatter pose potentially Um, but before you do any of that the main things I would fix Right there. This is you starting an arc and it doesn't feel like it's swinging over with enough weight going this way and dragging going over right now.  So you want to make sure that the audience keeps watching So for me that section And it's a strange speed up right through here. So watch this here and Right there just seems suddenly fast And it doesn't help that the wings pop up as well If I even if I just look at the body, that seems just a bit too fast where it gets kind of sucked Towards the ground here is I would I would kind of play this as pure physics So just watch out through this section here. So for me that arc That moment there That's all cool And then the other thing I would look at as a third one is that whenever you have your You know your your steps here Talked about that before especially on something like this where there's such a handoff The pun intended here on this that you want to feel that when this Front leg gets off the ground all that weight is on here That's going to be some influence on that chest rotating over This is not too bad. I feel like there's More stuff going on here And I think you have the body go up a bit with this Pushing up so the root goes up a bit You might push out a bit more and then be a bit more glidey through here, which you have But then I be careful with this step Feels just that leg part is animated and everything else feels very stiff So if you screw up through this you can see how it's just not much going on Despite suddenly all the way being on this leg And same thing here you can do this and Again, not that you have to do some crazy side-to-side translation and rotation over and pushing that stuff up But I would I personally would do that and then you start scaling it down So just exaggerate so you have Proper mechanics there and then look at okay. Well, how much do I need to read? Then you can go scale down by 50 percent And then maybe more And then as you continue on look at your There's this moment where the legs here they float float float and then it's kind of come up And then kind of comes out in In a very straight fashion. So watch your arcs Watch your offsets that don't do it at the same time And I would probably bring those up behind an arc in a bit A bit late as if kind of tucking it in versus here to kind of just come up for no reason feels like it at least I do like what you have here in the jar That's all cool there And I like that it's not too much that way you can do here. I would do a bit more Uh high frequency shake Because there's more pain in this But to me those are the things I would address first again, there's you know, there's some other things Like here I would still drag those toes a bit more And flop them out a bit and even if there's little pressure just a bit, you know Maybe digging in and some spreading. I just love some detail stuff that we can talk about Same thing here bringing the toes, but I wouldn't do any of this just yet. My Thought would be I would address this for sure that you got that moment here Watch out your speed up there And then just overall main body mechanics And then once you have that even then I wouldn't really look at this just yet. Then I would look at your, um tail and wings just because Once you finalize the body and decide to Say shaking, but you know the the body transfer the weight transfer all that's going to influence the wings So once that is locked down, then I would get into wings and tails And then at the end I would tool the toe details and stuff like that Um, but yeah, since you mentioned that you want to get this done Uh sooner than later. I would address that stuff first And then I can give you more uh in-depth details All right, detailed notes. I mean That is It from me. Thank you All right There's an email you can sign up you can start whenever you want you can submit whatever you want You get 16 submissions either way the like and subscribe would be awesome. All right. Thank you

G'day my name is Dan thanks for watching The Net Network. Today the Daily Mail Online, the UK publication is reporting that the Facebook is the death of the family photo album that only 25% of pictures now end up in traditional photo albums. What's your experience? Do you print out photos anymore? Print photos quite often especially to give to a family but a lot of those family are older family members who may not be on Facebook so well I just still print photos myself and also I take them to places like Officeworks in Australia and Big W and places like that will print you off photos in those kiosks. Kodaks still have a few stores around and their machines are pretty good. I take them there. What do you do? Do you print out at home or are you just uploading to Facebook and third-party applications like that? Are you part of the problem? Are you the death of the family photo album? Let me know in the comments below. I'd be really interested to find out not only where you post your photos but if you do print out any of those photos and why. What the purpose? When you print photos are they for yourself? Are they to make something like craft-wise like you know scrapbooking or are they to give to older family members? Let me know in the comments. I'd be really interested. Thanks for watching The Net Network and we'll see you real soon.


All right, friends, so here is a question on rigid-bodied dynamics. So this is with respect to the movement of inertia concept, OK? So during the past few years, many questions were asked from this small topic. So this is a small disjoint set. Or let us say this particular concept does not mix up with many other concepts in this chapter. So there can be questions which can be only on movement of inertia. So this is one of it. So at times, if you find, for example, the entire chapter to be very difficult, you can probably pick a few topics like movement of inertia and be good at it. Because if a question on such topic comes, then you should definitely be able to get it, OK? So let's see how we can solve this particular question. So we have four solid spheres. Each of diameter root 5 centimeter and mass 0.5 kg, they are placed with the centers at the corner of a square of side 4 centimeter, OK? So let me draw a square over here. So let's say this is the square. This question is talking about. The square has the side length of 4 centimeter. And you have four solid spheres. 1, 2, 3, 4, OK? So we have four solid spheres at the corner of the four, of the corners of the square. We need to find moment of inertia of a system about the diagonal of the square, OK? So let me draw that axis itself. So basically, my interest is to find moment of inertia about this line, OK? So let us see how we can proceed with this particular question, OK? So the mass and the radius of all the sphere is same, isn't it? So let me call that as M and R itself. You can see that there is this axis, this axis, which is passing through the center of mass of the sphere. And also it is parallel to this axis, OK? So what I'll do, I'll move this axis using parallel axis theorem from here till there, OK? Where this distance, where this distance from this point to this, this is the perpendicular distance, right? This distance is what? If side length is A, let us say A is a side length, this entire diagonal length will be A root 2 and this will be A root 2 by 2. So that will be A by root 2, OK? So moment of inertia of this particular sphere, I'm just talking about this one sphere. So I center of mass is 2 by 5 M R square, OK? Now I'm translating this axis from here till there, so it will be 2 by 5 M R square, which is I plus M into D square, D is what? A by root 2, so this becomes A square by 2, OK? Now similarly, there is one more sphere this side, OK? So I'll just multiply with 2, so I get moment of inertia of these two spheres about this line, OK? Now this is moment of inertia of these two. What about the other two ones? These two, the moment of inertia about this line is 2 by 5 M R square only, OK? So the total moment of inertia is 2 by 5 M R square for, let's say, sphere A as well as for sphere B about the specified axis, OK? So this into 2 will count both of them and plus this particular expression, OK? Which is 4 by 5 M R square plus M into A square, OK? So total moment of inertia will come out to be equal to 8 by 5 M R square plus M into A square, OK? Now let's substitute the values, so it will be 8 by 5. Mass is 0.5 kgs, so this is 0.5 R square. Diameter is root 5, so radius will be what? Root 5 by 2, OK? So R square will be 5 by 4, OK? Plus mass is again 0.5 kgs into A square. Now side length is 4 centimeter, right? So A is 4, so it will be 16, all right? And everything is given in terms of centimeter, so this should be multiplied with 10 raised to the power minus 4, OK? Now let us simplify this further, so 5 and 5 will go away and this is 4 to the 8, OK? So what I'll get here is 2 into 0.5 is 1 plus this is 0.5 into 16, 0.5 is essentially 1 by 2 only. So this is 8 into 10 raised to the power minus 4, so I'm getting here as 9 into 10 raised to the power minus 4, all right? Now if I read the question again, it says that moment of inertia is N into 10 raised to the power minus 4 and then asking what is N, OK? So clearly N is equal to 9, OK? So that's how you have to solve this particular question.


Hey y'all welcome on back to the adventure wagon Traveling to the lease right now. We're close man I am just itching like a crack and to get out in the woods man Because the last two weeks I've been traveling out of town. I've been sick.

Atide Africa, Miami's deposed leader, Aung San Suu Kyi, has heard a sentence reduced from four years to two. This is after a partial pardon by the head of the military appointed government. The countries to television reported on Monday. Earlier on Monday, a court in Miami found Suu Kyi, outstudied in February, during a call guilty of charges of incitement and breaching coronavirus restrictions. Details on this report. Myanmar State TV said her sentence has been reduced to two years after a partial pardon. The deposed leader was charged with incitement and breaching COVID-19 restrictions, according to a source. President Nguyen Myint was handed the same sentence, and State TV added they will serve their sentences in a quote, current, detained place, not prison. Critics are dismissing the case as a farce. Amnesty International said the charges against Suu Kyi were bogus and described the jail sentence as the latest example of the military's determination to eliminate all opposition. The two leaders have been detained since the February military coup. The country has been in turmoil since then, paralyzed by protests and a deadly crackdown on the junters' opponents. Suu Kyi's supporters say the legal trouble is aimed at ending her political career, while the military consolidates power. The military, however, has previously said that Suu Kyi is being given due process in an independent court, led by a judge appointed by her own administration. The trial has been closed to the media, and her lawyers have been barred from communicating with the media and public. Hello, hope you enjoyed the news.

Personal Finance PowerPoint Presentation. IRA, IRA vs. Life Insurance for Retirement Saving. Prepare to get financially fit by practicing personal finance. Insurance is part of our long-term risk mitigation strategy where we follow the adage of measure twice, cut once, put in a formal process in place, look in something like set the goals, develop a plan to reach them, put the plan in action, review the results and repeat the process periodically. Most of this information can be found at Investopedia, IRA vs. Life Insurance for Retirement Savings. What's the difference? Which you can find online. Take a look at the references, resources, continue your research from there. This by Daniel Kurt, updated January 19, 2022. In prior presentations, we've been taking a look at insurance in general, moving to life insurance. As we think about life insurance, we want to think about the two major categories of life insurance being term or pure life insurance versus the permanent life insurance. Always comparing and contrasting to the term or the pure insurance because that can be used as the baseline or ruler keeping the adage in mind of I'm going to buy just the baseline term insurance, which is typically cheaper and then invest the difference into some kind of investment savings for things like retirement and possibly getting a tax advantage to do so, but still putting the money into 401K plans or an IRA or something like that. Now we might get more complex insurance strategies, which are the permanent insurance, which has an investment component to it, but we always want to be comparing and contrasting back to that adage. Why don't I buy the cheaper policy, which is just the life insurance and then invest the difference? Why am I kind of commingling the insurance along with the investment? And so you have to have some kind of rationale for that. That's how I would think about your planning and your strategy. And there could be rationale for it. For example, you might have more complex tax planning strategies. You might, for example, have maxed out a 401K or IRA contribution, and therefore it might be more reasonable to do something like that if you have the money to do something like that, or you might have like a state tax planning strategies for example. So when saving for retirement, a 401K plan is a great place to start, especially if your employer matches a portion of your contribution. If you are working somewhere and your employer gives you a 401K, that's usually a huge benefit and it usually has a pretty high maximum amount that you could put into the 401K. They might match the amount in the 401K, which is huge, and you get a tax benefit for the amount that you put in because you might not be taxed at the point in time that you put it in and the income that is generated, dividends, interest, for example, typically not taxed until you pull it out at the point of retirement. So if you have some extra money, then you might be saying, well, if I don't have the cash flow, which many people don't, to maximize out my 401K plan, and the choice is, do I want to buy a more expensive insurance policy that has an investment component to it, or do I want to buy the term policy, which is typically cheaper, so I have the insurance and then invest in my 401K plan, it might be a good thing to invest basically in the 401K plan because of the number of benefits of tax savings you get with relation to it. It's also a little bit more less complex given the fact that you're buying just insurance and then your 401K plan is clearly just for retirement. But where do you go once you've contributed the maximum amount for the match or if your place of employment doesn't offer a qualified plan, a retirement plan? In other words, you might have a 401K plan but there's some limit in terms of how much you can put into the 401K plan and get that benefit in terms of the tax benefit or you might not have access to a 401K plan in which case it might be advantageous to try to buy more complex insurance in that case to get some kind of tax benefits on the life insurance side of things as opposed to simply purchasing the term insurance. But this is probably the case for more complex tax strategies most likely for more wealthy individuals. Many workers continue to fund their workplace plan but there are other options including using a life insurance policy in certain cases the insurance as investment approach can be a wise move but usually for wealthier investors. So now we're thinking about the insurance not so much as just life insurance but also as an investment tool. So however, investors who have maxed out their allowable 401K and individual retirement accounts that's the IRA contributions. So then if you don't have the 401K plan or sometimes you could still put money into an IRA if you do have a 401K plan but there's a much lower maximum on the IRA in terms of how much you can put in and still get a benefit in terms of lowering your taxable income in essence for the point in time that you put the money in although you might still get a benefit in terms of the growth of a retirement plan like a 401K and an IRA even if you don't get that initial deduction if you're still allowed to put money in that should evaluate whether the sizable fees of life insurance policies would outweigh any potential tax benefits. So you could put money into the life insurance as kind of an investment tool strategy but usually it's going to cost more to do that because the life insurance is a more complex tool so if you're doing it just for the tax benefit it might be more beneficial if you have access to these other tools the 401K plans then the life insurance if you've maxed out these other tools then you might consider using the life insurance more like an investment. So an IRA can grow in a tax advantage way for disbursement later in life that's kind of a point in an IRA you get a benefit when you put the money into an IRA and then it can grow without being taxed on it until you take the money out allows tax deferred growth in investments which are then subject to income tax upon withdrawal in which come with penalties for early withdrawal. So in other words you've got the money under kind of like the umbrella of an IRA so it's still invested in just normal stuff whatever you would invest in if you were saving for investments or retirement without an IRA stocks bonds savings accounts but it's under like an umbrella you can think of it meaning that if you took the money out for no reason then you would have to pay generally a penalty on it that restriction is the price that you pay in order to get the tax benefits so withdrawal in retirement after reaching age 59 and a half or taxed at your income tax rate so when you take the money out after 59 and a half you're typically going to be taxed on it meaning all the growth and the money that you put in there was basically deferred for tax purposes and then taxed when you take it out there are annual limits on how much you can contribute so there's going to be a limit in terms of how much you can put into the IRA and that's where you get this point where you might max it out if you've got substantial cash flow which you possibly only have if you're fairly well off you would think then on the life insurance side of things can build to an accumulate retirement savings and disperse funds tax-free if designed correctly so in other words you're trying to use the life insurance as basically another kind of a savings tool as opposed to just purely life insurance and possibly if you're able to design things in such a way that you can get the tax-free distributions that would clearly be a benefit. So it may benefit the wealthy so this would typically be more of a complex financial strategy that might be more useful if you have the cash flow in order to do it possibly in situations where you've maxed out other tax-benefit options like an IRA or a 401k plan can make a periodic withdrawal as long as you don't pull out more than what you paid in premiums and you won't experience a tax hit so that's one of the benefits with the life insurance is that if you've got the money and that kind of tax component of it you might be able to access it in the case of an emergency a little bit more easily without being penalized than if it's under the umbrella of an IRA even if you can't pull it out directly you might be able to take a loan against it which is kind of similar to pulling it out might be subject to interest if you were to do something like that surrendering your policy decreases the death benefit for errors and you may lose coverage altogether so IRA or 401k between these two strategies the IRA is a more straightforward way to save for retirement so when you're thinking about saving for retirement if you have access to a 401k that's usually the way to go these two tools are similar in nature but the 401k usually has a larger amount that you can put in to it and it might have a matching component which often makes it more beneficial than an IRA so you create an account with a broker firm mutual fund company or bank and select the investments you'd like to make with your contributions so both of these tools you can think of them as just kind of an umbrella the actual investment tools underneath that umbrella are just like anything else if you had money where would you put it stocks, bonds, IRAs ETFs what not so those are the same tools they're just under the umbrella of these IRAs which basically means they're restricted you pull them out but you get a tax benefit for doing that and incentive by the government to try to get you to save for retirement so these can include everything from individual stocks to mutual funds and gold bullion so features and tax treatment the main perk of these accounts is their tax treatment which is similar to 401ks so with a traditional IRA your qualified contributions are tax deductible and the investment grows on a tax for basis so when you put the money in you get a tax benefit because you basically get to lower your taxable income or you can think of it like a deduction and so that's going to give you a tax benefit at that point and the growth is something that you're not paying tax on the dividends and interest until you pull the money out withdrawals and retirement after reaching age 50.5 or taxed at your income tax rate so a Roth IRA is similar but the tax treatment and benefits are different so the Roth IRA is kind of like a reverse traditional IRA so it's a little bit it's like a backwards IRA meaning you don't get the tax benefit up front but when you pull the money out then you don't have to pay taxes on it and the growth on the money then is where you get the benefit on the Roth IRA so you invest using after tax dollars meaning there's no tax deduction and the year of contribution however you don't pay a dime you don't have to pay taxes on the accrued funds so which is great so you pull the money out that means dividends and interest and what not have gone up and you're not paying the taxes when you pull it out even on the gains not simply just the principal which is what you would typically think of in a normal investment so as long as you've owned the account for at least five years and have reached age 59.5 before making a withdrawal so contribution limits there are annual limits that can be deposited into an IRA for the 2021 and 2022 tax year the annual contribution limit for traditional and Roth IRAs is $6,000 and if you're age 50 and over you can contribute another $1,000 called a catch-up contribution for non-Roth 401K plans the maximum contribution for the 2021 tax year is $19,500 so you can see that the 401K plan is substantial the 401K plan it's less likely that most people are going to max out the 401K plan unless you've got a significant amount of cash flow that's why more advanced strategies above and beyond maxing out the 401K plan are more likely to apply to more wealthy individuals and for 2022 it's $20,500 plus a $6,500 catch-up contribution for each year is allowed for those 50 or older so after retiring you get an ordinary income tax on whatever amount you withdraw permanent life insurance another possible route is to buy permanent life insurance in addition to offering a death benefit for your survivors these policies also feature a saving component part of your premium goes towards your death benefit another portion builds up your cash value account which grows on a tax deferred basis so now you've got the insurance and you've got that kind of investment component which has that same kind of tax deferred investment strategy in a similar fashion to like the retirement instruments for example on the growth component so for life insurance whole life insurance permanent life insurance policies are a little complicated this is one of the downsides of course you're getting into a more complex strategy instead of just separating these things out as you would do if there wasn't some your tax thing that possibly could make it advantageous to do a more complex convoluted strategy so each time you pay a premium part of it goes towards a cash value account with a whole life insurance policy that carry your credits your account by a certain percentage based on how its own investments perform so if you've had your policy for a few years you'll typically see annual returns in the 3% to 6% range often earned in tax free investment variable life insurance other types of permanent life insurance work a little different for example with a variable universal life insurance that's the VUL policy the amount of the credit is tied to the performance of stock and bonds funds of your choosing we talked about these in a bit more depth in prior presentations if you want to take a look at them in more depth the potential returns are higher but so is the risk if the market loses ground over a given period you may have to pay a higher premium to keep your coverage in place paid up additions investors who rely on life insurance for retirement needs should think long term it can take 10 to 20 years to build up a sizable cash value account so these are types of strategies that might be long term kind of strategies that will start to pay off over a longer window or range of time once your balance is big enough there are a few ways you can draw on your policy for personal needs paid up additions PUA are a good way of increasing the amount of cash value in a policy for low relative cost which can maximize retirement income periodic withdrawals another possibility is to make periodic withdrawals as long as you don't pull out more than your basis that is how much you paid in premiums you won't experience a tax hit for doing so so any additional amount is subject to ordinary income tax rates to keep the internal revenue service IRS at bay some folks stop making withdrawals once they reach their basis from there they take out a loan against their policy which is usually tax free surrendering your policy yet another option is to surrender your policy and get the cash value in one lump sum but there's an important catch anytime you take money out you're decreasing the death benefit for your heirs so there's going to be a relationship between the cash value and the death benefit the amount that your heirs would get in the event of death if you take a loan against your policy you have to pay it back with interest to build it back up again so if you take the loan you can use the cash value as collateral but and that's not going to be generally counted according to the IRS because you didn't really pull the money out and but you might have to pay interest on it because it's structured of course as a loan at that time so and if you surrender it you'll probably lose your coverage all together compare this to someone who buys a much cheaper term life insurance policy which has no saving feature and invests the difference in an IRA so that's always what you want to basically be comparing against you're going to say okay I could buy just term life insurance which is just I'm just buying life insurance and I can invest the difference and say an IRA or a 401k plan or I can try to get into kind of some more complex strategies with more complex insurance tools which are basically getting into an investment and life insurance component again possibly those becoming more beneficial at the point where you're not getting as much benefit putting the money into say an IRA or a 401k plan possibly because you're hitting the max possibly because you have or you're fairly well off you got a good cash like a lot of cash flow so they can dip into their savings at any time after age 59 and a half without affecting the insurance or it's payout if you die and they can leave any remaining balance to their family members which can't be said for your cash value account a costly approach perhaps the biggest knock on permanent life insurance policies is their upfront cost first there's the initial fee that helps pay the agents commission so obviously setting up this kind of more complex type of tool that has these different components to it is going to be a bit more costly than setting up just an IRA which is just like an investment that's under this umbrella of retirement thing so often this can eat up half of your first year premiums consequently it takes a few years for your cash value account to start growing so it's possibly more of a long-term strategy on top of that policy holders tend to face deep investment fees often around 3% per year so again if you just invest in like an index funds for example then you would think that the cost of the expense of the investing in it the pain for the maintenance of the investment will not be as high you would think as a more complex set up insurance kind of plan so by contrast the average expense ratio in 2020 for open in mutual funds and ETS offered for sale was 0.1 0.41% so significant difference to the 3% so investing in an IRA allows you to eliminate this significant drag on your returns but that's not all you also have to worry about surrender charges if your policy lapses within the first few years you'll lose not only your death benefit but also a considerable portion of your cash balance as well most policies the amount of this fee gradually decreases over a period of years and then disappears however if you are committed to long-term strategies permanent life insurance policies designed to accumulate extra cash value will tend to break even around the 10th year of the policy so more long-term strategy possibly for people with with significant cash flows moreover cash is accumulated every year before that so if you did surrender the policy you would receive some money back and not be out of the entire amount of premiums you have paid so when insurance as an investment makes sense when does it make sense to do this more complex strategy and not just by the simple term insurance and invest the difference does it ever make sense then to use life insurance as an investment the answer is absolutely in some limited cases so for example wealthier individuals will sometimes set up what's known as an irrevocable life insurance trust so their heirs can avoid estate taxes so now we're getting in to the estate tax planning which again is typically for more wealthy individuals that are going to be taxed when they die you die and the wealthy individual die and the IRS goes over and rolls the corpse over and strips of naked and make sure there's does a cavity search for diamonds or something so in any case so in order to avoid that technically the trust is made for premiums for the life insurance policy so the death benefit isn't considered part of the deceased family members estate so beyond that life insurance is sometimes a reasonable choice for every day investors who have maxed out their allowable 401k and IRA contributions that still a significantly high category especially for a 401k you gotta have significant cash flow to kind of be able to do that but if you have that cash flow then it becomes possibly more advantageous at that point but even then it's worth evaluating whether the sizable fees outweigh the potential tax benefits so then again you got more complexity you got sizable fees related to it so is that is that worthwhile given the fact that you might get some tax benefit it's not a straight forward tax benefit in other words is putting money under the umbrella of a 401k or an IRA agents make a lot of money selling the idea that insurance is a great way to save for retirement so clearly if you're talking to an agent they're going to make a commission so they're going to be invested in the idea that this is a good tool and possibly sell it to people that are not in that kind of niche area where it would be more advantageous because they don't have the cash flow to max out their IRA or 401k plan for example but given the considerable cost of these policies you're probably better off purchasing low cost term policy investing in something simpler like an IRA investopedia does not provide tax investment or financial services and advice so this isn't this isn't advice as we're just talking here the information is presented without consideration of the investment objective risk tolerance or financial circumstances of any specific investor and might not be suitable for all investors so disclaimer disclaimer here investing involves risk including the possibility of loss of principal investors should consider engaging a financial professional to determine a suitable retirement savings and investing strategy and when you do that you typically want to be talking to someone who's not making commission based on the things that they're going to invest you in at least in part so a CPA a financial planner that's not tied to an insurance company for example a lawyer or something like that possibly paying them just for advice so that you then can depend on their advice being dependent and then talk to the brokers and what not and the insurance companies


Anthony Fauci, The Learned Ignoramus, by Zachary Yoast, an audio-mesis wire narrated by Million Quinteros. As the COVID-19 shutdown across the US continues, one cannot but help see the importance of specialization and the division of labor time and time again. As many Americans deal with true shortages of goods for the first time in their lives, specialization has allowed us to enjoy a much more prosperous life than we would were we all to do everything ourselves. However, as with everything in this imperfect world, specialization comes with certain trade-offs that are important to understand. As the unemployment numbers continue to rise by millions more every week, as meager savings are eliminated and as our highly organized society slides into chaos, it is important to understand the way in which an unbalanced intellectual specialization has contributed to bringing about the current crisis. In his 1930 book, The Revolt of the Masses, Spanish philosopher Jose Ortega y Gasset addresses what he considers to be a strange byproduct of the prevalence of specialization in everything, specifically the intellectual sphere. Previously, he writes, men could be divided simply into the learned and the ignorant, those more or less the one and those more or less the other. Now, however, a new kind of person has emerged, an extraordinarily strange kind of man who cannot be called learned for he is formally ignorant of all that does not enter into his specialty. Yet at the same time cannot be considered ignorant because he is a scientist who knows very well his own tiny portion of the universe. Thus, Ortega y Gasset says that the only fitting name for such a person is a learned ignoramus. There can be no doubt that numerous learned ignoramuses can be found in all parts of society. But most importantly, they are very clearly involved in the response to the COVID-19 virus as sweeping calls for months of lockdown may clear. Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and seen by many as the face of the federal virus response has perhaps made the most ridiculous assertion stating at a White House briefing on April 1st that we could relax social distancing once there's no new cases, no deaths. But the real turning point won't come until there's a vaccine. Similarly, Dr. Zeke Emanuel, an architect of Obamacare and current advisor to Joe Biden, declared that it will be impossible to return to normalcy for 18 months and that no matter the economic cost, the truth is we have no choice. We cannot return to normal until there's a vaccine. Such ideas are frankly madness and would take an incalculable toll on the health and wealth of all Americans. Tens of millions of Americans find themselves out of work or with reduced hours or pay. The idea that society could continue to exist in such a state, betrays a lack of any understanding of the social order. Smithfield Foods is shutting down a meat processing plant that produces 4 to 5% of all the pork in the entire country. And its CEO warned that the closure of this facility, combined with a growing list of other protein plants that have shuttered across our industry is pushing our country perilously close to the edge in terms of our meat supply. It is impossible to keep our grocery store stocked if our plants are not running. Mass unemployment will inevitably lead to an increase in suicide and substance abuse and the stay at home orders have already led to increased domestic violence. New instances of outrageous police conduct in the name of enforcing lockdowns emerge every day. It is no exaggeration to say that in 18 months, there would likely not be any society left to reopen. Truly only learned ignoramuses could suggest such an obviously catastrophic course of action. Those plebeians who dare to question experts such as Fauci and Immanuel are lectured to listen to their betters who use science to understand the situation and are far more knowledgeable. In other words, stay in your lane. Yet such critics miss their glaring contradiction. Public health officials certainly have a role to play, but they themselves are not experts at everything. By definition, they do not fully understand the other consequences and considerations that must be weighed and balanced. And they of course are lacking in the local dispersed knowledge needed to make such decisions. Yet that does not stop them from making declarations dripping with arrogance, such as Fauci's assessment of the implosion of the economy and the resulting unemployment and hardship as being merely inconvenient from an economic and personal standpoint. As Ortega Igasset pointed out, learned ignoramuses are ignorant, not in the fashion of the ignorant man, but with all the petulance of one who is learned in his own special line. The phenomenon of the learned ignoramus can be seen in every field and at all levels of intellectual life and popular punditry. However, the current crisis reveals the damage such experts can wreak upon civilization itself. Ortega Igasset fully recognized the important role that specialization has in making modern life possible. However, he calls for a balanced intellectual specialization in contrast to the unbalanced status quo that he fears threatens the advancement of scientific discovery itself. Two such balanced intellectuals are without a doubt Ludwig von Mises and F.A. Hayek. Although economists, they could be more accurately called social thinkers whose work encompassed far more than that of the typical economist today. Rather than insular unbalanced specialization, Mises argued that he who wants to achieve anything in praxeology must be conversant with mathematics, physics, biology, history, and jurisprudence. Hayek similarly warned that, unless you really know your economics or whatever your special field is, you will be simply a fraud. But if you know only economics and nothing else, you will be a bane to mankind. Good perhaps for writing articles for other economists to read, but for nothing else. Undoubtedly, the entire situation would look entirely different from the chaotic disruptive mess it is now if our public health officials and social scientists were trained in the mold of Mises and Hayek. Whereas both men stressed the complex and ultimately fragile nature of the social order and therefore the need for broad understanding of this complexity. The learned ignoramus in the words of Ortega Gasset believes that civilization is there in just the same way as the Earth's crust and the forest primeval. Every time the experts demand that life be halted into the indeterminate future, they vindicate Ortega Gasset's observation that the learned ignoramuses are ignorant of the very nature of the social order itself and are therefore a menace to its preservation. This crisis demonstrates how prescient Ortega Gasset's warning was. Hopefully it is not too late to prevent a true societal catastrophe. For more content like this, visit Mises.org.


First question is from Andrew Woodruff 15 the barbell push press uses momentum to allow more weight for the shoulders What are some other muscle groups and exercises that really benefit from added momentum? Oh, that's kind of a cool Yeah, so it's not necessarily the momentum Although there are some momentum can provide some benefits like helping you get past the sticking point in the lip I'm really explosiveness. That's where it's the speed. Yeah It's the speed that you're getting the benefit from a push press is a faster press than a strict shoulder press I will say this nine out of ten times. You should do a strict press Well, it's speed and load right because you can move more weight So you're moving more load and it's speed So those two things are that the two factors that you're you're there are the two major benefits that you're getting Yeah But you could also get incredible value from speed with a light load if you're explosive enough Olympic lifters do this all Time. Yeah, what muscle groups can can get benefit from this all muscle groups But that doesn't mean you should apply this to all muscle groups I think for some exercises it lends itself well and other exercises It doesn't lend itself very well, you know, like if you're gonna do like a overhead tricep extension Explosive, you know momentum-based tricep extension. I don't think the vow the benefit outweighs the risk From doing that and if your goal is just to build a good strong solid, you know muscular physique You could probably never do movements like this and again, I think you know explosives fast movements They have some value, but you need to you need to have good stability You need to have great form good control because the risk of injury goes Exposes the cracks any time you add acceleration into the mix and you haven't worked on stabilizing and being able to Decelerate properly then, you know, that's where you put yourself like at high risk So it's it's more of a high-risk thing But you do get the rewards of the fast twitch response and that's something that if you're not working on that at all You know, that's a major benefit that you know Actually is gonna produce some size to the muscle and some strength that you're not gonna get just from You know your slower cadence type lifts I see a lot of I actually see a lot of benefit from it especially for the advanced lifter, right? So I I saw huge results By doing that I didn't really ever train power just was not a focus on now when I was competing and having to see Progress right it really challenged my my programming and diet more than I've ever challenged myself personally to string You know several years of crazy consistency I really had to pull every trick I had like every everything that I knew I've learned over the last two decades and training Which caused me to do things like this. I would have never done a heavy push press in the past I just was I'm not a power lifter. I didn't see a tremendous amount of value in it to your point Sal you can get tons of gains with never ever really utilizing something like this But when you're kind of pulling everything out and you've never trained this way I my shoulders blew up because of heavy heavy push presses I was not using utilizing that going to that was great now that being said It's I think of it the same way teaching someone basketball or any other sport and When it's like teaching someone a spin move a you know behind-the-back pass Can be very valuable if you have built an incredible game of all the foundational moves and exercise and you can handle the ball Really well there is going to become a time in the game where throwing a behind-the-back pass If you don't know how to do that really well can become very valuable or a crazy between the legs crossover type of deal Right, but if you can't lay the ball up well, you can't dribble with both hands very well You can't pivot very well. You can't do all the basics very well Training this way has it will hurt you more just like it would in a game If you can't do those fundamentals and you're trying to do fancy moves in a game your girl Ball's gonna get stolen from you gonna get poked loose and it's not gonna benefit you Well, I also and to your point of like there's not a lot of maybe barbell exercises I mean Olympic lifts obviously that's like something that people know right away like this is about acceleration This is about speeds about technique and form at its highest, you know level There are other alternatives So this is where I really like the kettlebells and the kettlebell swings and that's because you're you're getting that snap And that power out of derived out of your hips And so that's really where it's sent like it's center to everything and even in your Push-press like you're getting that snap and power from that that hip hinge and that that really fast powerful snap that you're gonna get from the hips and so The the kettlebell swing addresses that beautifully and it's it's pretty controlled and safe in terms of learning how to utilize power in in your programming as well as Medicine balls medicine balls I like things where you could take weight and you can get rid of it And so you don't even have to worry about the de deceleration Part of that movement.   I'm curling the 30s. I want to curl the 45s And so you get your you start to swing and get bad morning That's the wrong reason to to do these types of movements. Don't worry so much about the weight Use the appropriate amount of weight which sometimes and oftentimes is more weight But if it's just a way for you to lift more weight in the gym, you're using it wrong Well, you have I mean the question is like what other we didn't even address What are their muscle groups? I really see lots of value in every other muscle group except for maybe your Buys tries and calves. You can do like a penlay row for your back You could do for you know explosive push-ups chest pass to the wall Yeah, even bench press with speed You know even if you got a if you got good form and technique with the bench press doing that with the light Light low and explosive tosses do all kinds of stuff


I'm David Duncan. I'm part of the Fedora 35, Fedora Cloud working group and I wanted to talk to you today about today here in November not in August about Fedora 35 and tell you why you should use 30 Fedora in the cloud. So we're part of the focus of our special interest group is building the images and we consider that our responsibility to do that for any cloud that we possibly can. So we want to make sure that there are images available pretty much everywhere. Some of the images that we we work on today are the GCP cloud images, the vagrant images and then obviously the Amazon cloud images and then we have a base cloud image that can be used in many different places open stack different types of virtualization and then we have just a standard compressed raw that you can take and do many things with by converting it through the various tools that are available. We're working on multiple architectures. We support x8664 and art64 directly and then S390 we do with with some friends and and that has been an interesting thing for Fedora 35 because we've made some changes. We have a bi-weekly meeting on Thursdays, 1400 UTC and the cloud SIG, Pager has has a list of people who want to be notified if you want to be notified hang around in the pound Fedora cloud channel on matrix or IRC or participate in the cloud list or both hopefully and add your name and we'll make sure that we let you know when the meetings are starting every time the the group and the directors of this group do not force do not include being an expert at some cloud technology. The requirements for participating are an interest in participating so if you are a beginner or advanced user that doesn't matter to us we would love to have you there we'd love to have your opinion and we'd love to make sure that if we're working on something that is a part of your your goals or your experience that you have an opportunity to participate so please join us anytime that you feel you know any fine anytime you feel like you have an opportunity so we had a conversation not too long ago and some metrics appeared in that conversation from Matthew to show a little bit about how we're doing and and thank you Matthew for putting these together and and keeping keeping such great metrics and to giving us something that we could rely on to tell us where we are in this in this process so thanks Matthew but looking at what are considered to be persistent which Matthew said our instances that are up for and up and reporting for more than one week the cloud is roughly 15.2% of the of the the cloud variants that are being used for long term and then if you move as we move into the ephemeral those that don't report after one week this is you see that it makes up a considerably larger almost double the number of instances that are ephemeral which is expected right cloud is not meant usually cloud is meant to be a fail-only architecture or up for a specific task and then down and that is that's wholly expected that we would see a much larger part of that part of this going to the what we call the ephemeral use and on our out this is not just I mean this is the cloud images but where they're used we're not I don't think we're tracking that at all like we're not looking at whether or not this comes in from a specific public cloud or a specific location we're looking at what what the what the designation is in the release okay so let's talk a little bit about what shipped in and fedora 35 I'm pretty excited about this hybrid boot so one of the things that I think we we look we look at on the on the cloud side is the emergence of the UEFI support and and that has not been as pervasive as we as you might expect a lot of the UEFI boot process that was previously used for things like windows was not was emulated it wasn't in fact actually UEFI and this gives us the the the boot parameters or the in the boot partitions that are required to do both so we can do both the UEFI boots we can do classic boot but classic BIOS boot and and we're ready to do new things for example secure boot in the in the cloud images when that becomes available or if that becomes something that our users are looking for and big moves we followed the trend that we you know is in work station here by moving to butterfs by default this adds a lot of capabilities that we didn't have previously and I think this is going to be very interesting I'm looking forward to doing some solutions based articles over the over the coming weeks to show what what this really means because this gives us some some ability to do some bind mount points and take control of specific component parts of the or specific parts of the disk for removing execution bits and things like that that we didn't have before but work that are typically expected in things like CIS hardening or Stig hardening things like that don't don't allow for an exception around the partitions and since a cloud volume doesn't have partitions it is almost by definition an exception on every case on every file system level case so this gives us some some breathing room around those those requirements and makes it possible for us to be more consistent with them also one of the considerations that we had you know if you're looking at server server has support for very large arrays of disks and we don't necessarily have that in cloud I mean you can you can acquire a large volume of storage but for the most part the storage redundancy is handled behind the scenes by the hyperscalers and so we expect the we expect that using better FS on top even though it doesn't have support for things like RAID 5 or RAID 6 isn't really a big problem because those are those RAID types are being used behind the scenes in the hyperscalers storage but you can look at the whole configuration and and see that you know this is something we've done and then in order to get this done we had to push through several changes around BIOS we had to make some modifications in Anaconda there are some other considerations that we have for for next generation that I think will be you know that as they evolve will be exciting for us like like full support for butterfs in the in the boot sector that'll that'll carry us over into a full fully butterfs configuration and we made some changes in the cloud images for vague for vagrant files one of the things that we found was that there was a bug that was increasing the size of the the volumes for the vagrant images to greater than 40 gig which obviously nobody wants to download a 40 gig vagrant file that's pretty much antithetical to what needs to happen but Chris Murphy and and Neil Gampa actually took care of creating a better trim experience in our in our kickstart configurations and zero that out so that it would it would be appropriately resized during the vagrant configuration so there's been some interesting developments here over the course of the Fedora 35 release and we are really we had to stop sort of stand back and take a really good look at where we were and what we were working on and whether or not we thought that was a this was the right way you know right direction for us to go to create cloud based images and we've made a decision as of Thursday in fact we had a vote for the for throughout the whole cloud working group to determine that we want to reestablish cloud based images as an addition so that we can participate more in the website revamp and be more formally associated with the addition status so we're working right now on updating the product requirements so that our PRD is current and can be ready for review but we also consider this to be a real responsibility so we're not we're not looking at what it is that just needs to be done to be you know to have addition status we think that the responsibility goes much farther into into the community and so we want to establish a pipeline for ensuring that we're participating in the marketing and that we're participating in blog posts and also increase the number of testing and QA contributions so I'll refer you back to the first slide I put up here where I was saying that you know we're looking forward to having your participation there's a lot more things to do here obviously than just code on on cloud images so if you're looking at trying to make you know create a scenario where you're working with other tools or utilities or or different kinds of technology then we're excited to hear from you if you're looking at how you can help with the QA we have a ton of things that need to be done plumbing for tests in each one of the individual clouds we've got lots of things that need to be done here that we would love to have help with and something that's near and dear to my heart and I keep pushing this and I will continue is we really want to see this develop into something where we're building solutions and customers are users really not not customers but users want us to want to to develop they want to have understanding of something kind of end to end and we want to bring as many people as we can into qualifying and and seeing and looking at how those solutions work so that so that people who are doing research don't have to question why they would want to use fedora in their in their solution requirements if they have some study to do we want to make sure that they understand that they can get all of the tools that they want inside of fedora edition similar to the way that the neuro fedora team works on their span and to look at ways that we can collaborate and and curate those those sets of solution configurations for for people to use in in the future and that means more articles more writing better collaboration with teams that we are not really working with as much as I think we should especially os build I really feel like os build is a is a wave of the future and and then there are some really fun things going on in cockpit now even preliminary support for butter fs in the in the storage management and really look forward to putting a lot of effort and time into making those work together and then recently we've been chatting back and forth with some of the members of the server group to talk about creating images more consistent with their sick goals and I think that that's a really important effort to be you know effectively supporting other special interest groups for the work that they're doing and I think we can do that with workstation too in the context of virtual desktop interfaces so there are a lot of things that we need to focus on that are interesting to providers like cloud providers and some of the things that they run in some of the issues that they run into are the things that are trend setting for them and we want to make sure that when they look for how they set that bar our goal is to ensure that regardless of what that of what that infrastructure is that they look to fedora as a leader in how they evaluate and identify themselves as forward as a as a forward leader in that in their space some of the things that they look to and some of the things that we're trying to focus on are like faster boot times and then we also want to have a faster model for continuous integration and testing if we have more detail back from their our providers that makes it back into fedora um just generally especially in the qa process the uh the information that information can feedback into uh into our development all the way down from the kernel and we can run you know we can run into problems long before the the public provider or the providers make them public and uh we think that that's a really important part is of our mission is to get in front of a lot of those issues that would show up after uh you know after the fact after after the providers make them public after the providers announce them um and we want to make sure that we're uh we're giving them enough information and we're getting enough feedback from them uh that we can we can get that we can make changes even before we know what they're going to do um some of the other things that we've thought about are that we have a similar mission for the container configurations and we think that might be a great fit for the cloud sig umbrella we know that and i know that those are well i mean everything in fedora is maintained by the people who have the motivation to to um uh to uh to take on the projects but uh you know it's always been one of my favorite things that we don't have a um you know we don't have package owners we have packages and those packages do what's necessary to take on take on that space um take on the space that they want they want to deliver in and i think that that's a great experience um yeah i think with that let's just move on to uh questions and comments discussions i see the block of butter question has already been answered i don't think i have to uh i don't think i have to answer that one comments considerations that scare anybody well listen you know y'all know where to find me i'll be around and uh if you have any other people who who want to um uh who if you know anyone that you think should be involved you know give them a nudge let us know that they're coming and uh we'll we'll make a place for them um we have a lot of fun working on this project and uh look forward to working on it for a long time to come thanks i'm going to hang around in case somebody does have a question thanks everybody for attending it's been great yawn i think i think biweekly is enough right now i think we have a lot of work to do and and there's a lot of chat you know we we have a lot of chatter in the in the in the um in the matrix group um if there's something uh oh there was something i didn't mention actually and that is that we really want to curate the tools um that are associated with the cloud cloud experience like the azure cli oh okay thanks Matthew um i think uh the thing that we are going to put a whole lot of time and energy into for the next year uh is going to be first the uefi space and then uh i think we're probably i think what i'm looking most forward to is finding a way to to build uh secure boot um for our for our images so that customers you know users who are doing who are trying to do something like a secure boot are going to do that and then the other thing is the trusted execution environment i really want to um integrate the ability to run trusted code in uh in the trusted execution environment that intel created um directly and to have a process for building the images for that trusted execution environment in our in our process so that we know exactly what's going into that blob end to end um each one of the the trusted execution environment i think is is one that we're we're going to try and focus on and then tools the the azure cli the aws cli um you know the the uh google api tools all of those are things that we're we're focusing in on really heavily and i've got to say a big thanks big shout out to major hayden uh for for uh building uh i think the right number is a gazillion uh dependencies for uh for the the azure cli and we're working on the same thing together for the aws cli where uh there are a gazillion dependencies none of them make sense so we're we're we're working on that uh together and uh trying to make sure that those go through our the the fedora build process the way that we expect so those are the things though those curations i think are the things that i'm most excited about um moving from from 35 to 36 and beyond and then um uh doing the work to become uh become a real addition uh once again i think is is also heavy on our on our plate and with that i think we're we're closing time thanks everybody for for participating and uh see you in the next tap
