How avoiding toxic chemicals in the products we put on our body, or the issue with concussions, having an undiagnosed brain injury is a major cause of suicide, anxiety, depression, ADHD, learning problems, and homelessness. But nobody's talking about it because most psychiatrists never look at the brain. So think about that. What other medical specialty never looks at the organ it treats. And that's insane because how do you know if this depression is because your brain works too hard or not hard enough? And giving everybody SSRIs which calm down the brain can really help some people and be a disaster for others. So how, okay, so you know I see this actually in my patients all the time. You know they've come to see their medical problems as personal failings rather than being caused by their environment or the foods they eat or even the drugs they've been prescribed. So how do you propose we reframe this issue between, quote, mental health and physical health of our brain? Well, I think the first thing we need to do is actually start looking at the organ we treat that making diagnoses based on symptom clusters with no biological data, I mean somebody should be upset about this, and I've been upset about this for a long time, but cardiologists don't make diagnoses with no biological data, gastroenterologists don't, orthopedic doctors don't, nobody I know does that. So I think imaging just needs to become part of what we do because the brain is an organ you can look at both structurally and functionally. And so my colleagues will say well there's not enough science and I'm like seriously if you go to pubmed.com today and type in brain spect you'll get 14,600 abstracts it's like let's not say there's no science and it's like well it's not part of our training and it's not part of our tradition except the outcomes in psychiatry are no better than they were in the 1950s. In fact disability for mental health reasons has quadrupled since the 1980s. So obviously we're doing something wrong and so we need a new paradigm plus what I get excited about I don't know if you and I ever talked about the Daniel plan it's a program I did with Pastor Rick Warren and Mark Hyman. The first week 15,000 people signed up the first year they lost a quarter of a million pounds and then literally thousands of churches around the world have done the Daniel plan and part of the testimonials are not just weight loss it's they lost their anti-depressants they lost their anti-anxiety drugs they felt better their memories were better and it just highlights that when you get your brain right your mind follows but unfortunately most people suffer with mental health issues see psychologists and psychiatrists that virtually never talk to them about diet about exercise about supplementation about looking at do you have an infection in your brain I'm in a new docu series with Justin Bieber I've been Justin's doctor for a long time and he came out publicly that he had Lyme disease and that was part of what was driving his mental health challenges so is that a mental illness or is it a brain illness and in my mind it's clearly a brain health issue get your brain right your mind will follow. So when you say brains work too hard you talk about in the book about brain types and is explain what that means I mean doesn't everybody have the same brain? No as a matter of fact one of the big early lessons is that everybody's sort of different I mean we have healthy balanced brains we have spontaneous brains that really have sleepy frontal lobes and they're creative and restless and spontaneous but they're also impulsive and they can't concentrate and they're late and disorganized there's persistent brains where the front part works too hard often in many cardiothoracic surgeons or neurosurgeons they want things a certain way and if things don't go a certain way it gets them upset and you want your cardiothoracic surgeon to be that way they're not our ADD group at all a little bit of OCD and then our sensitive they're people who's limbic or emotional brains work too hard and our cautious brains people who tend to be anxious and what I learned is like if we just took obesity for example putting everybody on the same program sort of silly when you realize they're impulsive over-eaters they're compulsive over-eaters they're sad over-eaters they're anxious over-eaters putting everybody on the same program is sort of silly when a high protein low carbohydrate diet works really well for the spontaneous group the ADD group and it is a fricking nightmare for the persistent group because it's a focused diet and if you have OCD tendencies you will focus more on the things that upset you and I was on the Rachel Ray show and we were talking about this and she has that persistent brain type and she said I went on the Atkins diet and I was so mean I wondered why my husband didn't leave me and so get on the wrong diet you actually end up divorced so so you can actually with a spec scan tell a brain type or what other evaluation processes do you go through to make that determination so we have a free online assessment people can take brain health assessment calm brain health assessment calm and it'll tell you which of the 16 brain types you have because there are combinations of types as well and it's good for your husband to take it your children to take it someone you're dating to take it to see you know what vulnerabilities there may be in relationships and I talk about this in the book when I first met my wife I really liked her and but I didn't want to like her until I saw her brain and so about two weeks later I'm like you haven't been to the clinic don't you want to come to the clinic and I scanned her she was a good sport but you know she worked at Loma Linda on the neurosurgery ICU unit and you know we sort of bonded over the brain and it's just I think we should be putting the brain more central in our relationships because it's your brain that makes every decision you make and when your brain is healthy you make better decisions which means you're healthier you're wealthier you're more successful at whatever you do so what do you think about what can you tell our listeners about the link between their gut bacteria and their mental health they're intimately connected more so than we ever thought and when I was a resident nobody said boo about this but if your gut bacteria is unhealthy as a child it actually sets you up for lifelong anxiety disorders and so think of all the kids who had tubes in their ears because they had multiple ear infections often because they're sensitive to dairy that it damaged their microbiome think of all the kids who were born by c-section and their microbiome wasn't properly populated or were not breastfed and and I don't want to make anybody feel guilty it's like okay you know that may be a risk factor and so you then go and take care of that risk by repopulating the gut in a healthy way with fermented foods and probiotics but this idea of leaky gut syndrome increases inflammation which is a major cause of both depression and dementia and so in the end of mental illness I really take a functional medicine approach to brain health and and mental health and I have this mnemonic called bright minds to help you remember the 11 major risk factors that steal your mind and the first eye is inflammation often caused by an unhealthy gut


Good day mate, 40 here. What a wonderful time to learn some Torah with Mark Shapiro talking about the rise of reform and the rabbinic response. It's the history of Chicago's Jewish gangsters. Now the classic book is from a real historian, General Weissman Jocelyn. I mean the person I'm with is also a historian, but I mean in terms of the Jewish, the classic work from an American Jewish historian is our gang Jewish crime in the New York Jewish community. But there's another one. It's a very funny book. By someone I've known almost my entire life and that's Meyer Sugerman. The Chronicles of the Last Jewish Gangster from Meyer to Myron. If you want to be entertained, you can read it. You can watch the videos online. You can even watch it, believe it or not. In the grab lies of Boca Raton just two weeks ago interviewed him. And they had to say a few times in the video that we don't condone being a gangster, but it shows you that there's this fascination that we choose have with the people who didn't go the street. We all know about the coming and everything like that, but the gangster. Okay, so I'm a functionalist and a structuralist. I'm all about power of structure and function. Like why do we have organized crime? Because it meets needs that are not being met by wider society. It can provide protection. It provides strong in group identity. It provides a way to navigate around legal structures. It's particularly powerful for immigrants who find the New World confusing. Where as a lack of enforcement, then organized crime can step in and make the rules. So why did organized crime flourish after the fall of the Soviet Union? Because it met fundamental needs. Civil society had fallen apart. Like why do we have rumors? We have rumors because the official information is not adequate to our emotional needs. We need more than the official story. And so we turn to rumors to try to speculate if the official news doesn't make sense. Then we need some way of trying to make sense of the world around us. And that's also a function of organized crime. It's a way to try to help make sense of the world around us. So what's more important?  There's not a definitive answer. Sometimes principles are more important. Sometimes interests are more important. But if you have gangsters who are members of your in-group and they're doing powerful important things for your in-group, then you have all sorts of incentives to overlook their gangster behavior. Sometimes there are problems in life, but gangsters best equipped to handle them. So your principles may not care for their methods, but your practical needs may be best met by gangsters. So if you've got a favorite football team, you probably want law-abiding people on the team so they don't get suspended. But what you most want to do is to win. And in the game of life, living is usually the best way to go. So this is Mark Shapiro on the rise of reform and the rebuke response. So the Tefillin are talked about in the Torah. They're the boxers with verses from the Torah in them.  So traditionally Judaism holds different roles for men and for women. A lot more commandments demanded of men than for women because it's expected that women will be busy taking care of the kids. And if you don't hold special roles for men, they will tend to drop out of religion. Men don't like competing with women. The Marubra State Park, that's where we're at right now, there's a firing range near here. I don't think there's shooting right now. And he says that if a woman comes and she asks us and she wants to raise herself in midst most, we tell her not, but if she continues to want to do it, come and sit down. She wants to do it privately. He says there is hope that she can rely on this. So I have a friend who grew up an Orthodox Jew, who was dating, went on a date, took his Tefillin bag, so it was called a Tefillin date, and spent the night with the woman, got up in the morning and was putting on his Tefillin. When he looked over his shoulder, there was his girlfriend, who was apparently a student at the Jewish Theological Seminary, which is the conservative movement in Judaism, their seminaries. She was apparently a rabbinic student and he looked over his shoulder and there she was putting on Tefillin. But generally speaking, highly unusual for women to put on Tefillin. It's traditionally a masculine role. Can someone ask me if we stick with catacombs in Rome? Jewish catacombs in the non-Jewish? And someone said, well, can someone kind of go and go down into... So a Kohane, alright, that's the Jewish priest class. Usually people with the last name Kohane are members of the Jewish priestly caste, but not always. They are forbidden to attend to a cemetery, because they're expected to maintain their focus on the living rather than the dead. And so there are places where a Kohane can't go, such as a cemetery. For a second, and then I said, no, I'll tell you why I hesitated. I think I realized that I was listening to the class. And by the way, we have, there's two things in particular, two times it just comes to play on our trips. One is when we go to Morocco, one of the places we go to is the tomb of the king, the kings. It's a site to behold, and then there's something else. So I've spent thousands and thousands of hours listening to Mark Shapiro lectures. He's a scholar, he got a PhD from Harvard. He also got his rabbinic certificate. He's a modern Orthodox rabbi. He specializes in modern Jewish thought. He's published excellent books, such on Jewish theology, changing the immutable on how Judaism rewrites its history. He wrote a biography of Yehiel Yaakov Weinberg. And I just love his mixture of Jewish learning with secular learning. And I love how, I don't know, I just love his work, man. When I get tired with traditional methods of Torah study, I study some Mark Shapiro and it gets me excited about Torah again. So I'm walking all around Sydney and listening to our upon our Mark Shapiro lectures. Many of them for a second and a third time. It just gets my brain going. It's fascinating, it's good for my Neshama, for my soul, for my brain, for my heart. You know, that's Ohio, Tonejo, and there's two synagogues there. Both of them used to, obviously they were confiscated when the Jews were expelled even before that, during after the pogroms of 1391. Now really they should give it back to us because they took it from us and this is part of our heritage and as well there's a lot of Torah scholars there. Although I don't think a lot of people are obligated to believe in that because there's been Yehiel so the Jews gave up hope and it's transferred a few different times. So yeah, when you give up hope of recovering a lost object, it no longer belongs to you, according to Jewish law. I just never get tired of the ocean and the rocks. Australia mate, the beaches are our cathedrals. They have been removed from all the Torah sites. So what's your personality type? Would you get onto that ledge right below me?  Would you not get onto these rocks at all? I think I'm moderate, kind of in the middle. I think I'm a huge risk taker but I'm not a huge scaredy cat either. I'm moderate fear of heights. Yeah, I know some people love to get right on the edge. I remember when I was a kid, my friends meaning at about age 17, we climbed below this bridge and we were able to swing out and it was about a quarter mile drop below us. So we would just swing there with a quarter mile drop below and another crazy thing my friends did which I did not appreciate was they'd drive crazy in the rain and do wheelies and burnouts and scared me to death and I'd scream at them. Like, stop, I haven't even had sex yet. So non-Jews and completely secular Jews often think of Jewish law as incredibly inflexible and rigid and a straight jacket. But there's so much flexibility built into Jewish law and the way it is observed and the way rabbis instruct people to observe it, it is supposed to be something that enhances your life rather than something that diminishes your life. You're supposed to observe Jewish law so that you may live by the laws and that they shall be your wisdom in the eyes of the Goyim to quote I believe Deuteronomy. And so, yeah, they're often ideals. But if you can't live up to the ideal, then often it's okay. To not live up to the ideal, that's Makhmer means strict. Menhag means custom. Makhlerkist means controversy, dispute. So see how the rocks peel away? I sure wouldn't like to be up here when the rocks start peeling away below me. But it probably makes for, you know, amazing video. Rabbi Monsour, he has a good following question. So, Kauhain isn't supposed to attend a funeral. Rabbis often want to try to make Jewish law as lenient as possible so that Jews don't feel like they are sinning because if people get too much of a sense that they're just breaking Jewish law at every turn, it will turn them off from attempting any observance whatsoever. So there's a significant movement within Judaism to make observance of Judaism as easy as possible. So Tame means impure, unclean.  And he said, you know, I'm sure it's all very academic and that but we just can't have that in our community. And he's reaching for a word and then he just says Tame. It's just impure. We can't have that kind of filth in our community.


Hi I'm Thomas with RRVelements and here I will introduce the asymmetrical horn sector antennas designed for 5 gigahertz unlicensed band. Let's first have a look what's inside the box. There's a graphical installation guide, this cruise to mount everything, the handle, the bracket that comes on the antenna, part of the bracket that comes on the tower and the antenna itself. All you need to assemble and install the antenna is 6 millimeter ball head Allen key and 13 millimeter range. And make sure you use anti-seize lubricant on all the stainless steel hardware. Let's go through the RF features of this antenna. The radiation pattern as the name suggests is asymmetrical. It's wide in the azimuth and narrow in the elevation. The shape of the radiation pattern is good for applications where the customers are spread out and far from the site. Thanks to the high gain the distant customers in rural areas will be easy to cover. The landscape profile should be rather flat or lightly hilly. If you use them in hilly or mountain regions the elevation narrow beam might not be able to cover the valley as well. Our horn antennas generally don't have any side lobes which is the case with asymmetrical horns as well. Zero side lobes means the antenna transmits and receives the signal only from the desired direction protecting your network from the RF noise which is the number one problem in the unlicensed 5 gigahertz networks. But it's not only the lack of side lobes which makes horns great. The asymmetrical horn provides great stability of your network's performance and there are three main components adding to the stability. First the gain of the horn is stable over the whole bandwidth so changing the channels makes no difference to the signal level. While these graphs show how the maximum gain changes with frequency the radiation pattern gives you complete information showing gain in all directions. So the second component of the stability is the radiation pattern. It is also very stable over the whole bandwidth so it will deliver a reliable connection even to the customers at the edges of the sector. The third component is the balance between horizontal and vertical radiation patterns so both radio chains have very similar performance. The fact that the horn has zero side lobes makes the coverage planning very easy. Adding the overall stability the horn performance enables unprecedented scalability. You can add new sectors without worrying that the network already in place will degrade performance. At the same time the three beam widths and the higher gain of asymmetrical horns make for a valuable addition to the set of the symmetrical horns and further increase your flexibility. This way adjusting to the changing situation is easy and without any compromises to the network's performance. The asymmetrical horn is very compact compared to the traditional sector technology which saves you the money for the tower interface and the lack of side lobes makes dense collocations very easy to do. The antenna has 30 monolithic body made of aluminum weighing only 4.2 kilograms and a beautiful matted finish. The comfortable handle makes it easy to carry around or attach to a carabiner and clip to a harness. The radio is made of u-resistant plastic and the bracket has stainless steel hardware so the asymmetrical horn will withstand extreme environmental conditions and at the edge of the aperture is a water drain hole so any condensed water will simply leak out. The 30 degree asymmetrical horn has a beam switch feature. Swapping the position of the handle and the bracket the resulting beam width is 20 degrees in azimuth and 30 degrees in elevation. So besides the 30 degree asymmetrical horn with 20 and a half dbi gain and two possible settings there is also a 60 and a 90 degree asymmetrical horn so with 17 and 16 dbi gain to choose from. Before you start assembling the antenna you should know on which side of the pole you'll be installing it on. The bracket is by default assembled for the antenna to be installed on the left side of the pole. So if you want to install it on the right side of the pole there are a few parts on the bracket you need to flip. Before you attach the other part of the bracket to the pole make sure you use anti- lubricant on all the stainless steel hardware so you protect it from gulling and potentially facing problems when repositioning the antenna in the future. When the pole diameter is smaller than 49 millimeters install the bracket as shown so the bolts don't protrude too much. If the pole diameter is larger than 49 millimeters flip the bracket for the best result. When the bracket is on the antenna easily slides onto it and you can adjust the azimuth and elevation. For this purpose there is a plus minus 20 degree measure for the azimuth angle and plus minus 25 degree measure for the elevation angle. Once aligned all you need to do is to tighten the bolts to secure the aiming and you're ready to go.


that's really quite striking how quickly so many companies which often pretend that they want the state to stay away in bad times they then ask for the state to come in and of course the state should come in and help companies of all sizes but how to really make sure that we bring conditionality not in a punitive way but in a way that really also lays the path for the kind of economy that we want to have in the next 10 years both because we need to have a recovery now but even without the COVID crisis so more inclusive and more sustainable economy there's really interesting lessons I think coming from around the world and my recommendation to governments is you have for once the upper hand use it you have the upper hand to write contracts in such a way that there's some sort of guarantee that we get a change in the system I think the way that Denmark is approaching it is very interesting which is both a combination if you want to view BI so just guaranteeing an immediate injection to a household so they can eat but also making sure that the contracts of workers remain in place so people are actually being paid to stay home they don't lose their contracts so once the recovery can begin they can immediately go to work with contracts in place wouldn't it be great if at least one of the consequences after this crisis which will hopefully be over at some point we don't just go back to the old way to think that at best the state is there to fix market failures which by definition means you have to wait for the market to soon mess up before you even intervene so this need for an active co-shaping and co-creation of the market itself as opposed to just fixing is hopefully one of the way also that economists will better understand the role of policy


have the Jerusalem Day on Thursday, which is the occasion for ultra-nationalists in Israel to march in the Muslim quarter of the old city now, Jerusalem, and the maghba, the creation of the state of Israel, are two sacred saints' dates in the Palestinian calendar. So it could be that this rocket was just the beginning of another sort of celebration, the maghba day tomorrow, celebration in inverted comma, of course, the maghba day tomorrow, and Jerusalem Day. I think the tension is still very high, and we'll see. It's difficult to know. But one thing is clear. If Israel wants to change the equation, you know, and reestablish its deterrence, it will probably have to react. Yes, we are now confirming that there was at least one rocket fired, and there were sirens south of you in the city of Sterot, which you know very well yourself. But over there in Ashkelon, I see here that life seems pretty normal. Everybody's really concerned behind you. Right. I'm not sure that everybody has digested the news and has heard the boom. We heard the boom from here, but I'm not sure that everybody is still aware of that. That's why it took people by surprise, I think. It took us by surprise. We didn't expect that at all. When I read the alert, the push on the home front command application, I thought it was a joke. But then a few seconds later, we heard a boom. And you know, when you hear a boom, you realize, okay, we are back into the mode of confrontation, or at least at the beginning of it. Peter Klosschandler in Ashkelon, thank you very much for that. Piyash Dekalbach here in the studio. We are in the middle of a ceasefire, supposedly, brokered by the Egyptians that started last night. Everything was quiet today. And suddenly this, right? I would say, yes, that this is quite surprising. We're talking about less than a day after that ceasefire was brokered. It should have come into effect yesterday at 10. We have seen that there were still some rockets fired from Gaza and to Israel after that ceasefire. That was not something very uncommon. We know that also from previous ceasefires. But now, again, less than a day after that ceasefire was brokered, that we see now at least one rocket that was now officially confirmed by the IDF that was launched from Gaza into the southern areas. That is still quite surprising. Now, of course, there are several questions that need to be answered now. Is that a rocket that is coming from the Palestinian Islamic jihad that has suffered severe damage, not only to its infrastructure, where the death toll is at 30, most of them senior Islamic, Palestinian Islamic jihad commanders and commanders, or is Hamas now also intervening in that fighting. But again, that comes quite surprisingly. We're talking about the rocket that apparently according to initial reports landed in open area. So it did not have to be intercepted. There are no reports of any damage or any injuries as of now. The question also is now, Jacob, is that the only rockets that was launched or that will be launched? How is this going to unfold? Now, we knew that that was a tense come. We are talking about five days of fighting against a severe blow to Palestinian Islamic jihad in Gaza. But there is a significant event upcoming only in a couple of days. The Jerusalem Day and the Flag March on Thursday. That is traditionally an event that could trigger rockets. We're talking about an ultra nationalist right wing march through the old city of Jerusalem, also through the Muslim quarter. That is an event that has triggered rockets from Hamas before. That was one of the main triggers for that military escalation two years ago. That was a day that Israeli security forces were looking at with quite some worry now that rockets are launched or one rocket is launched only a couple of hours, really, we have to say. After that, ceasefire was broken is quite a surprising and also for sure for those residents in the south who now thought that they could breathe after those really difficult five days. We have to see how this is going to unfold and if this is going to remain the only rocket now. Right. We have Dr. Jacques Nariab with us on the phone now. Jacques, rather on Zoom. I guess the question is now will Israel feel obligated to react? I mean, Israeli government has presented this zero tolerance policy. So what's next? Well, I think that basically now the intelligence, all the intelligence agencies will concentrate on this on this missile in order to understand that it was shot by mistake. Was it fired by a faction that does not accept the the ceasefire that was agreed upon with the mediation of Egypt? We'll have to wait in order to to to to understand and to elude what what is behind this this rocket. If it's only one rocket that has been fired by the by mistake or by coincidence, I think that Israel can bear that and especially that it did not hit any any center. It was just fired in the wild. So let's see and wait a little bit in order to understand. It will take some some time and we will understand very well that if this is intentional, then Israel will have no choice but to respond. Right. We should emphasize there were no injured. It was one rocket that was fired and it somehow fell into some open field, so no no real damage and no injured. And the question is again, I guess, Jacques, is this just a coincidence, an accident, sometimes misfiring or do you see? You must understand, Jacob, that the atmosphere is in it's almost euphoric is in the in the Gaza Strip that they believe and they are certain that they have won the battle against Israel. And the standing a small organization like the Islamic Jail standing with the facing the the mightiest army in the Middle East and and and not accepting the dictate by Israel to stop to stop fire. This brings a lot of people there to to try to to test Israel's tolerance and test Israel's stance. And it might be that one while the Palestinian faction, which is not Hamas and which is not part of the Islamic jet might might be somebody independent who just tried his luck and see if he can trigger the trigger a reaction. And this reaction will again bring us into a full confrontation and like the same as the five last days. Now, about this ceasefire, of course, everybody says we're winning. We won. And we are not sure what are exactly the terms. This is quite confidential by the Egyptians, right? Look, I mean, if you analyze the the declaration that was published by the by the Egyptians, you understand very well that the main issue was the the targeting of leaders and and officers of the Islamic Jail and said of of the definite specific wording that Israel refused to. We have we have a very murky the formula saying that attacking persons and and houses of families. So in fact, this this implies from the Palestinian side that this is against the targeting done by Israel against leaders and Israel understand that it can go on because it it it is not the definition is so wide that you can say that it doesn't include military people and and terrorists. So this is what was reached. I mean, but if we remember that there were two other conditions. One was the the the cancellation of the the the flag march in Jerusalem. And the second was the return of the the the body of Khudra Adnan, the the Palestinian who died from Augustite. We don't hear anything on those two points. And certainly this the the march in Jerusalem was the was the thing that triggered two years ago Hamas to fire into Jerusalem. So we might be very close to a new the confrontation in the next two days. Right. And I saying again, the rhetoric from the relatively new Israeli government is we are not going to give up anything, not the body and not anything of this, but we don't know what's inside this agreement. Pia are here in the studio. Are you hearing anything else about what's going on? Well, as of now, there is still that now of official confirmation from the Israeli army that one rocket was launched from the Gaza Strip. It fell into an open area. We do not have any reports of damage or of the injuries. That comes, of course, Jacob, only less than a day after that ceasefire between Israel and the Palestinians. Lama Jad was brokered. It should have come into effect yesterday at 10 p.m. We have seen some rockets from Gaza after that, nothing unusual. But now that rocket launch from the Gaza Strip poses, of course, new questions. Was it an accident? Was it intentional launch of a rocket? Where does it come from? Is it Palestinian Islamic jihad or did Hamas decide to join the fighting? We, of course, are after a very, very tense period of five days, especially for the residents in the south rocket alert went of in communities like Nativa Sarazikim and also Ashkelon, which are communities that had to deal with restrictions and heavy rocket fire throughout these past five days. Of course, Palestinian Islamic jihad has agreed to a ceasefire. We're not sure in terms of what the specific contents of that ceasefire are, but it has been violated as of now. Now, of course, this incident is under investigation. The most important question, I think, is to investigate whether that was an intentional rocket launch or whether it was an incident and then the question is, how and if will Israel react to that? Right. So again, one rocket was fired at Israel, no injured, no damage. And we are monitoring what's going on, as I guess Israeli authorities do also with the questions of whether to react, how to react. And was it just an accident or something that was not preplanned? Dr. Omar Maziad is with us now to speak a little bit about the Egyptian part, Marwa. This is a deal, a ceasefire again, brokered by the Egyptians. And I guess they are in some way are the guarantors of this really happening, right? No, I don't think Egyptians are guarantors of anything at this point. I think Egypt was upset that this had to happen right away after two months of having reached the agreement back in March and then all the escalations that did happen during Ramadan and Passover. So I think Egypt, with this particular one, thinks that the escalation shouldn't have happened. But Israel determined that there are preemptive measures that had to be taken because there were some intelligence that maybe Islamic jihad were planning something. So this is Israel's narrative and that's what happened the past five days. So for Egypt's part, it's already going back to March as when they signed that they didn't want escalation since back then. But then that happened and now there was some ceasefire and that happened again the past five days and now there is a fragile ceasefire. So in a sense, the message from Egypt is I'm going to mediate and help you both sides, but you have to rise up to this occasion as well. Otherwise, it's on your it's on your watch that this happened. Like the Egyptian Ministry of Foreign Affairs didn't even put a statement about the ceasefire this time. I mean, it was announced, but it's a bit. I think there is, as I say, there is a level of frustration that that had to happen and now it ended. But then you're saying even there is one rocket thrown in there. I think this is just an after effect, maybe an accident of some sort. But the calm will be restored for a little bit until we see what's the next round of escalation. So so we with Egypt so much involved, not for the first time for many times. What about taking it to the next level? Not not just when fire breaks out. What what is the next level? A peace agreement. Oh, of course, from each side. You know, they are doing. They were the minister of Foreign Affairs was in with the Germans and the French discussing what's called the Munich framework. Supposedly the Jordanians, Germans and French and Egyptians were talking about that since 2020. So before the Abraham Accords. So suppose that Asia is going on that track of the two state solution and all of this. But I think at this point with the with the Israeli current government, there is no room for this because Israel itself, its own internal politics are playing out a very right wing and religious stoned politics at this point, the sacredness and the holiness of the land and all of this. Characters like Ben Gvir and Smotrich. These people are expressing. Well, you know, but Mara, you know, even before Smotrich and Bangor and so on, the Israeli claim is always that Hamas does not want any any kind of permanent arrangement and there's nothing to talk about on their side. So it's both ways. But I think there were developments even concerning Hamas, at least the conversation should we be with the with. You know, the more moderate side of the Palestinians, the those in the West Bank. So even if it's not even if Hamas itself is not on board, then there is someone else that we could still have a discussion with. But I think we're not in a moment of having any of these two state solution talk where things are playing out in a very religionized and extreme version of things from the Israeli side. And I think this will have to play out for a while until we even reach any further conversation about what might be the future like. Right. But in any case, this is a clear interest of Egypt to be a part of this. Definitely. Egypt is going to be a constant for better or worse. It's on its national interest, Gaza's on its border, Israel's on its border, whatever instability there affects it. It hopes that there is calm there. But as I'm saying, Israel has to be very careful at this point because as Egypt is concerned with things in Sudan and things better in Libya, but anyway, on its borders, it might start thinking, OK, you also face the music. You're having you, Israel, is having instability there. So either fix it or live with it. But I think Egypt is very I mean, so experienced with all of this that it will always outlast any flare up of any violence. But definitely it's always going to be part of this picture because of the geography, because of the borders. Right. Marwa, I thank you very much for that. Thank you. Thank you. So this is actually the time for Middle East. It's now here and I at 24 years, as you know, it's 7 p.m. Israel time where we have mainly news from all parts of the Middle East. But now we have breaking news after a rocket was fired to Israel from Gaza, no injured, no damage. But this is in the middle of a ceasefire that was actually was approached last night. And we are following this. So we are waiting for more information. But meanwhile, I 24 years, Owen Alterman takes us back to the latest round of fighting and what was different this time. Saturday night, Gaza City, the ceasefire between Israel and Palestinian Islamic jihad has just come into effect. And at least among the hundreds gathered here. The sense is that the Palestinians side one. It was the solidarity of the resistance factions. And this is victory. And this is the beginning of liberation. National unity is the basis of liberation. And this is the beginning on the other side of the border. The feeling on this day after is not necessarily that Israel lost an Israeli campaign more limited than past rounds focused only on Palestinian Islamic jihad, targeting and killing at least six high level Pij operatives, and at least after the initial strike with few civilian casualties and no apparent operational mistakes. I praised the military chief of staff and the head of the Shembet security service with two words, well done. And the execution was in fact perfect with total surprise and continuous initiative. Still, of course, an escalation that severely disrupted life in Israel's south, with tens of thousands of Israelis evacuating their homes temporarily to avoid constant rocket threats. The Iron Dome rocket defense system can turn that rocket threat from a danger to that severe disruption. It is clear that this situation has an effect. People with small children are frightened and afraid to go out. There's no work, but we will survive. And so another Israel Gaza ceasefire that changes little. Palestinian terror groups are still committed after 16 years in power in Gaza to their Mukawama or resistance strategy. Israel can still contain them effectively, though not to feed them. There may be a turning point in the dynamics between Israel and Gaza someday. That day is not now. We are now with Dr. Jacques Néria, an expert on Middle Eastern affairs here. Jacques of ceasefire was as we so achieved last night. And then right now, a rocket fire that Israel, what could be the reason for that? Well, let me remind you that a few years ago, during the leadership of the previous the previous chief of staff, we had we had some mishaps with the systems that are in the Gaza Strip. And some missiles were fired because of a failure in electricity. As you know, those those missiles are buried in the ground and activated by remote control. So it could be that there was a malfunction. And this is what happened in one of those missiles that that that was fired, ultimately, in the direction of Israel. I don't think that right now that it is intentional and will have just to wait and see. As I said, I don't think that it is in their interest right now to to bring Israel into action again, certainly not at this point because they have to breathe a little bit to reorganize and prepare themselves for the coming events. It's the Nakba and the people and then the flag march in Jerusalem. And then the next are the fifth of June, lots of events. And the one missile right now could disrupt or derail their efforts. And, you know, that there are so much in in in a state of of, I would say, euphory, but thinking that really they have won the war against Israel, that I don't think that they might do anything that would jeopardize this this reality. OK, stay with me, Jacques. Let me bring in Mr. Orr Isashar, ahead of research at the IDSF. What do you make over of this rocket that was fired just a few minutes ago? Yeah, well, I think the details are still very initial. But look, it has become almost comic, OK, that this sort of event keep happening out of, you know, either mishaps or electricity failure or misconnection, whatever that may be. But I think the greater question we need to ask ourselves is what is the objective, what was the objective of the shield and arrow operation? If the objective was to restore Israeli deterrence, then we need to strike hard against any attempt to break the ceasefire. And if, indeed, it has become clear that P.I.J. or Hamas is behind that shooting, then I think the Israeli home front has signaled its leadership that it's more than ready and more than capable to give them a back when or sort of have their back whenever they want to relaunch strikes in Gaza. I think while the details are still initial, I think the Israelis looking forward, let's say the Israeli public is looking forward to the seizure for this to stop this kind of nonrelenting rounds vis-à-vis Gaza. Right, you know the conflict. If Israel reacts swiftly, then it might escalate to another round. And I think it's not interested in that. And again, I don't think Israel is interested in that, but I don't think that would be the end of the world either. That means that the Israeli public is ready and is having its leadership's back in any sort of scenario. I don't think Israel should be deterred by any terrorist organization. And of course, it's easy to sit in the studio or at home and interpret. But at the end of the day, I don't think it's the interest of the Israeli leadership either to show weakness, especially after five days of fighting such as these. OK, Ori Sakharz, thank you very much for that. Pia here in the studio, Pia Shtekil Bahai, 24 News Correspondent. Let's recap. What do we know? Right, Jacob, only a couple of minutes ago, probably half an hour ago, there was one rocket as of what we know right now. Fired from the Gaza Strip, it fell into open territory, did not have to be intercepted. There are no reports about damage or any injuries that comes less than a day after that ceasefire between Israel and the Palestinian Islamic heartbroken by Egypt that was meant to go into effect at 10 p.m. yesterday night. Now, what is interesting here is to see whether this was an incident and an accident that came from Gaza. It was an unintended launch. Or if it was intended, these circumstances are under investigation now also from the side of the Israeli security forces. What is interesting, Jacob, that the rocket was launched only about half an hour ago after a spokesman of the military wing of the Palestinian Islamic jihad held a speech kind of praising the achievements of that previous round of fighting. We're after five days of fighting, of heavy fighting between the Palestinian Islamic jihad and Israel. The question is now, will this turn into another round of fighting? Will Israel respond to that? But again, the circumstances are still under investigation. Of course, now also security forces have to look for shrapnels that might have come down. We have heard rocket alert in several Israeli communities, Nativa Arsara, Ashkelon, that was also areas which were heavily targeted by the fighting in the previous days. Now, of course, Jerusalem Day and the alternationalist flag march are ahead on Thursday. That has traditionally been an event that triggered fighting with Hamas. That was one of the main triggers for the war two years ago between Israel and Hamas. Now, that ceasefire that was broken was a quite volatile one. It was a tense calm today, especially for the southern communities, but it was certainly not expected that it would be broken so soon. Again, it was meant to get into effect only at 10 PM yesterday at night. The circumstances are under investigation, whether it was intentional or an accident. Right. Yeah. Thank you very much.  But what about the argument that Israel should react in any case, in any kind of rocket launching towards Israel?  And certainly, I mean, this is not typical of a salvo. I mean, we're talking about one lonely rocket that was fired, misfiled and didn't hit anything. So, I mean, there's no reason right now to go back to the forces and put your saddles and go on into the Gaza Strip again. This is really not the time to do so. It's the time instead of using the usual rhetoric that we want and we want and we want. Let's say, concentrate on say what sort of strategy do we have to think about concerning the Gaza Strip? Can we live with that? Can we live all the time containing the threat and diminishing the threat? Or do we have to act differently in the future? You asked earlier if there are any chances of peace? How can you talk peace when you don't have a partner? I mean, Hamas on the Covenant of Hamas Paragraph 2 talks about the annihilation of the Hebrew state. There's no Israel to talk about. And Islamic Jihad is a terrorist organization. These are the partners that we have in order to talk, really. OK, Jacques, thank you very much. Stay with us for more coverage of what's happening in the south and in Gaza. And also, after this break, it's decision day in Turkey. We'll have the latest on the most dramatic elections in two decades. We'll be right back.


So in a twisted way, it's actually almost impressive how creative our government is at screwing all of us over, both parties, Democrats, Republicans in all branches here. For example, the House passed the debt ceiling deal struck by Kevin McCarthy and Joe Biden yesterday by a 314 to 177 vote. And all of this could have been avoided. Democrats didn't need to compromise if they just chose to raise the debt ceiling back in December when they still had control of the House. But they didn't. So now Democrats can conveniently inflict more austerity on Americans while using Republicans as a maximum shield. That's the way that it always works. Now, even though Republicans got some cuts that they wanted, they were mad that those cuts weren't deep enough. In other words, they were mad that this package wasn't cruel enough, didn't inflict more pain on the American people because as ABC News reports, a majority of the GOP conference backed the legislation with 149 votes, but it was 165 Democrats who helped ensure the passage as 71 conservatives ultimately voted no, as did 46 Democrats. Four lawmakers, two Republicans, and two Democrats didn't vote. So more Republicans voted against this than Democrats. So the far right, these Republicans in particular who didn't support this, they're now pretending to be mad simply because this is a branding exercise. They got what they wanted. Sure, it wasn't enough, but they still got cuts that were completely unnecessary and avoidable. Again, if Democrats simply passed a clean debt ceiling raise back in December, none of this would have happened. So the fact that they get anything is something that they should be thankful for. But regardless, they're against because if they did support this and you position yourself as one of these far right Trumpian figures, the base, they would pounce if they agreed to anything that this rhino McCarthy and communist Biden came up with. So the ones who are pretending understand that it's nothing more than political theater, but the ones who really got screwed in Congress were the progressives. Aside from the American people, of course, but politically speaking, progressives, they got played because as Holly Otter Bean of Politico explains, on its face, the debt deal is a nightmare for the left, but progressives in Congress aren't revolting. A victory for Biden that reflects the relationships he's built with them. The congressional progressive caucus didn't whip against the debt deal. Even some progressives voting no wanted to pass. Quote, the Democrats should supply the votes needed to get to 218, but we don't have to supply any more than that, said representative Ro Khanna. So in other words, everything that we're seeing is completely fake and disingenuous. Since it's a bad look for progressives to support austerity, because obviously it is many members of the congressional progressive caucus chose to vote against this, but they were willing to supply at least enough votes to ensure that it passed. So even if they were voting no, they still were crossing their fingers and hoping that it passed because of course they don't want to be held responsible for triggering an economic crisis if they're the one specifically who's blamed for tanking the deal and that results in a default on our debt. I understand the position that they're put in. The problem is that once again, they got played by the Biden administration because he knew that waiting until the last minute would give him maximum leverage over progressives. So if he comes up with this compromise with Kevin McCarthy and its austerity, it's a repayment plan or restarting of repayments for student loan that I should say, and they're going to be against it. Well, there's not really anything that they can do because you have a day until we default on our debt two days. So what are they going to do ultimately? The best that they can do is performatively vote against it, but still make sure that the votes are there to pass it. It's just exhausting. But I mean, the legislation is now going to move over to the Senate. But I don't want to talk about the debt ceiling with regard to the Senate because I assume it's going to pass. But I do want to talk about a different thing that the Senate chose to do. And they chose to send us a very clear message that they hate our guts.  Yes, you watching this specifically. And I say this because the Senate passed a measure 52 to 46 overturning Biden's student debt cancellation plan, and it mustered the necessary support because mansion cinema and tester crossed the aisle to join Republicans. I'm completely shocked personally. But here's the kicker because that's not even surprising. But here's them pouring salt in our wounds. As the debt collective points out, their bill will literally raise student debt balances by retroactively adding interest that we weren't paying while payments were paused for the pandemic. Let me repeat that. They're not just saying we shouldn't cancel anything for you. We want you to owe more and pay more ultimately. And these are millionaires who sang this about us. They are very, very, very bold. I'll just say that. Now, thanks to the Congressional Review Act, only 50 votes were needed for this legislation to pass. And now it probably is going to go to Biden's desk. But here's the thing. Biden has explicitly said that if it gets to his desk, he's going to veto it. So the question is, if you're a senator, why would you vote for something so cruel knowing that this is going to enrage at least some of your constituents, regardless of what state you live in?   They're with their donors. Even though you voted them in office, they stand with their donors. The cruelty is the point. They want you to know that they want you to suffer and they like seeing you suffer. They're just rubbing it in our faces at this point. For example, Republican Senator Mark Wayne Mullen tweeted, quote, if you take out a loan, you pay it back. A student loan is no different from a house or car loan. Taxpayers shouldn't be forced to foot the bill. Student debt transfers reckless and unfair to the 87% of Americans who either never took out loans or responsibly paid them back. But as people were quick to point out on Twitter, Mark Wayne Mullen had the entirety of his 700,000 plus PPP loan forgiven, including interest. And even though he is a multimillionaire, he thought that the responsible taxpayers who didn't take out a PPP loan themselves, they should foot the bill for him, even though he's rich. He's already a multimillionaire. Do you understand how they're just laughing in our faces at this point? They're so unnecessarily cruel. They give us the finger any chance they get, and then they turn around and pretend as if they're actually representing us. I mean, it's just it's sickening, honestly.  Actually, it's immigrants who's causing all of your economic suffering, not them. It's LGBTQ plus people who are the problem. But if we actually knew any better, we don't know that it's them who's the problem. But most Americans, even though they sense that something is wrong, they can't put two into together and realize it's these politicians who are beholden exclusively to their corporate donors. But it's gotten so bad to where they won't even let us have crumbs anymore. Right? Remember before when we would be so angered by the fact that we only get crumbs? Now we don't even get crumbs.  But I mean, that's just the House and the Senate because I want to make it very clear this week.  And of course, our far right corrupt Supreme Court decided to blow another major blow to unions. But guess what? We can't display them conservatives this time because two of the three liberals on the court joined their conservative peers in this particular case. As more perfect union explains, the Supreme Court has ruled in favor of a concrete company that wanted to sue a union because a strike cost them money. The eight to one decision means the company Glacier Northwest Inc. can sue the union over a strike where truck drivers left wet concrete in their trucks. The one dissenting judge, Kintanji Brown Jackson, argues that the majority is inserting itself into an assessment of labor disputes that is lawfully the purview of the National Labor Relations Board and that the court is overstepping here. She also argues that the court is putting the onus on workers and their union here when it is actually incumbent on Glacier, the company to take steps to negotiate with the union and mitigate their losses. Now, that sounds reasonable to anyone with common sense, but only one Supreme Court justice made that argument, Justice Jackson.  It doesn't matter that the companies are negotiating in bad faith most of the time. It doesn't matter if these employees take steps to mitigate damage caused by their strike. It doesn't matter. Unions can now be sued. This is a door that we're opening and I just have to send a special thank you to Sadamayor and Kagan. Really appreciate them joining their conservative colleagues here to open the door to this new phenomenon that we're going to see companies suing unions who they hate if their strikes are too disruptive. Now, in the majority opinion, Amy Coney Barrett suggested that the union purposefully tried to cause damage to the company, but that's factually incorrect. The National Labor Relations Board actually issued a ruling saying that the workers and the union tried to mitigate damage. They left the trucks running, for example, so the concrete wouldn't harden. They took these steps, even though that's not their responsibility, but Amy Coney Barrett is ignoring all of that and saying we're going to insert ourselves into a labor dispute, even though it's not our jurisdiction, and we're siding with the company here. Now, we talked about this back in January and I kind of laid out why this was so bad. So I don't want to rehash all of that. I'll play a quick clip followed by a more perfect union explanation of what's going on here. And then I think that that kind of puts it all into perspective. So let's watch the fact that they're even getting involved here is a red flag in and of itself. So there's a couple of questions that we're going to get answered with this case. First and foremost, it's kind of a rhetorical question and it's whether or not the Supreme Court even cares about the authority of the NLRB. And we kind of have an answer because they're taking up the case rather than just letting the NLRB decide. Second of all, what are the broader implications that this case can have on workers once you open the door to companies being able to sue workers for striking? That's a whole can of worms that could lead to really dark places. Now, Sharon Block, a professor at Harvard Law, explained some of the potential implications of this if the court sides with the concrete company in a video for more perfect union. And what she says is genuinely chilling.  You've got lots to think about. But what you probably wouldn't expect to have to consider is whether your union-busting boss Howard Schultz is going to sue you for the impact of your strike on Starbucks for the coffee that gets wasted or milk that goes sour or lost revenue from customers who get tired of waiting in line. But if a Seattle concrete mixing company and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce get their way before the Supreme Court this year, that's the crazy position that American unions are going to be in if they want to strike. Yeah. So the Supreme Court is choosing to take up this case, which is a matter squarely in the jurisdiction of the National Labor Relations Board. And in the event they greenlight companies suing workers, this could lead to a horrifying, even darker dystopia than we're living if you can believe it. Welcome to that new dystopia, my friends. Now, if you're wondering why things keep getting worse in this country every single year, it's because every single election cycle, we Americans vote for these same politicians over and over again. And that's not necessarily our fault because we have a majoritarian first-past-the-post electoral system that really serves these incumbents, that keeps them in power. And I mean, when you consider the fact that 2024, the presidential election is likely going to be a rematch between Trump and Biden, I mean, you can kind of see why nothing ever changes. Nothing ever gets better, because we're not voting out the politicians who are causing all of this pain. We're not getting enough pro-worker politicians in Congress to make a difference. So when you have a system that is this ruthless to working people, you might ask yourself, how does this system continue to survive if not thrive? And it's because the system has to reinforce this narrative that it is good and does good for us, right? Everything is copacetic as long as we keep capitalism. Whatever economic angst that you're feeling, it's not because of our capitalist system. It's not because elections and every single aspect of our lives have become commodified. It's because diversity is the problem. People of color are taking the jobs that you're entitled to. Immigrants are taking your jobs.  But so many Americans, they think, well, as long as the marginalized people are being held down, I'm fine being held down myself. That's why we're perpetually in this state of decline. Because even though most Americans can sense that something is deeply wrong with our system, it's rotten to the core, the idea that capitalism is good and socialism is bad is constantly reinforced. It was taboo up until only recently to say that you were a socialist.  It's the elites at the top who want you to believe that your neighbors are the cause for your pain. But keep in mind, it is not your neighbors. It's not queer people. It's not people of color. It's not immigrants. It is the capitalists.  And to continue to support this system, you do so at your own peril.


Hello and welcome to the session. In this session we are going to discuss the following question and the question says that Tia's last year earnings as a sales girl were $45,000. She also earned $4,100 in cash dividends from her investment. She also earned interest of $420 on her savings. She made a contribution of $3,400 in her retirement account and $1,100 to medical and health saving account. Calculate her adjusted gross income. Now let us start with the solution of the given question. Here we have to calculate Tia's adjusted gross income. For this we will first calculate her total income. Tia's last year earnings are given as $45,000. In addition to this she also earned cash dividend of $4,100 from her investment and interest of $420 on her savings. So her total income will be given by annual earnings plus cash dividends plus interest on savings. So this is equal to $45,000 plus $4,100 plus $420. And this is equal to $49,520. So her total income is given by $49,520. Now we shall calculate adjusted gross income. We know that adjusted gross income is given by total income minus specific deductions. Now here she made a contribution of $3,400 in her retirement account and $1,100 to medical and health saving account. So we will subtract these amounts from total income. This implies adjusted gross income will be given by total income minus contribution to retirement account plus contribution to medical and health saving account the whole. So here we have total income as $49,520 minus $3,400 plus $1,100. Now this is equal to $49,520 minus $4,500. So this will be equal to $45,020. Thus TR's adjusted gross income is $45,020 which is the required answer. This completes our session. Hope you enjoyed this session.


Welcome to the ITU headquarters here in Geneva, which is, of course, hosting the AI for Good Global Summit. And I'm particularly pleased to be joined by none other than Choseb Lee, who is the Director of TSB. TSB stands for Telecommunications Standardization Bureau. Thanks for joining me. Thank you very much. So tell me, why is ITU taking the initiative to actually organize this three-day summit? As you know, AI exists quite a long years ago, and AI is taking very tentative steps forward in the last decades. You know, since AI has now benefited from this broadband, mobile, recently IoT, we have great opportunities to make this society's connected world. It's a good time to make this, to get out of this AI and connected world. This is why we as ITU, as a UN specialized agency, have some responsibility for connecting the world. We called upon all the AI communities, including global dialogue, to enhance our debate of this AI for Good. That is why we, ITU, have the initiative of these activities. So what's the significance of the AI summit when viewed from the perspective of your particular department, which is, of course, the standard body of the ITU? Yeah, if I use of these two buzzwords, representative of today, it should be convergence and smart. So each, you know, the sector of this vertical industrial society, they want to become this convergence with other verticals or other society. Such as the health industry, want to converge it with the vehicle industry. And another element is almost a corner of our society, they want to be smart. So all those movements, driven by ICTs, but ICT has a huge impact by AI. Actually, I want to say, AI will innovate today's ICTs. This is an important part for us, because of this, we are, ITU is responsible for the ICT developments. So this is a good time to meet these two together. So we have to address these convergence and smart. So this is a real relevance of this ITU. So ITU is consensus-driven. We are contributing a lot of these organizations. So our members already begun to contribute. But there's AI, the powers of this AI, there's implications how to innovate of these ICTs. So this is why ITU is important. And finally, AI, of course, is making it detached on, making an entrance into conversations around standard strategy. Where might we see ITU standardization contributing to AI in the future, in the very near term? In a very near term, I guess we may have looked at two different streams. One is the first to ship the data processing and management. As you know, this AI produces results with input data. Data is everywhere and every second. As we all knew of this, garbage in, garbage out. So now it's become very important of this how we can properly manage of this data is a fundamental, essential subject for all of us. So we recently learned about our expert group called Focus Group on Data Processing and Management. They are challenged to identify some of the process to cleaning and extract of meaningful data. So this is one area. Second element is ICT heavily impacted with this AI. So we expect AI will give us another opportunity to innovate today's ICTs in terms of these capabilities, capacities and applicability. Like we may expect super broadband, hyper mobility networks, smart networkings, trusted security, even including of this new emerging services and applications. So this is why we expect of this AI will bring us this innovation of today's ICTs. So very exciting times for your particular department. Thank you very much. Chesa, thanks very much. That's Chesa Lee who's of course the director of the TSB here.

Mae'r unedaint yn ymgyrchol, Llywodraeth, C7, 21, divide that by 1,000, return that correct answer. So this is really no different to tapping it into a calculator except that maybe if you, actually let's do 24 minus 3 as well, except you want to come back and change that, it'll all recalculated for you. So this is kind of a halfway point between kind of setting up a spreadsheet to do the data analysis for you and kind of assessing it at the same time so it's going to be checking the calculations. And the main reason to use something like this is because when you say ask an online quiz to do it, usually students can't upload their own data and check it. Most of the kind of the online quiz formats on virtual learning environments like Canvas don't support that. You'd have to go for a third party tool anyway and that might involve some kind of complex web hosting or programming and that's a bit of a pain so you know this is a nice visual way with a good interface that lets you just do it kind of natively on a computer. So that's why you'd want to use it and this is how it works and you know it's all right. You need to be a little bit careful about what order you present things in and what feedback you give and browning errors but we'll discuss that a little bit as I go through how to build one. So I'm not going to build a complicated one in this tutorial. This is just going to lay out how I would start one and then a couple of hours later you just throw features at it through each other and you play around with it and you get something more complicated out. So let's just do the titration one. So let's just say we're going to label a couple of rows. We want starting point or an ending point and then the titra calculation so three things and I'm going to right align those and then I want the numbers to appear here and then I'm going to put the units in so centimeters cubed, centimeters cubed, choose millilitres, go back and format that subscript as you like but I'm not going to do that here and in the middle I want to indicate that someone should fill this bit in so I'm going to highlight the three cells, go to conditional formatting the cell style section and just select input now it jumps out at you and if you go to view and remove things like the grid lines and the headings now it starts looking a bit more like a worksheet that you fill in and if you highlight these and right click you can go to format the cells and there's this thing here that says protection normally it'll jump up to number but I was playing with this earlier and you just tick locked or untick it at least. Now normal cells are going to be locked these input ones aren't so if you go to the review tab and click protect sheet, unselect the select lock cells let them select the unlocked cells okay that suddenly no one can play around with any other coding that you're going to do they're not going to break anything they can only manipulate the input cells so let's unprotect that and put the rest of the stuff back on right so now it looks like a spreadsheet again okay so the thing about this is that you need to be able to understand how someone's going to manipulate the data and what they need to do and you kind of calculate it behind the scenes you hide it away and then you compare it and then pick it tick so what I'm going to do is I'm just going to put off in this cell some off to the side the actual calculation we're going to do I'll put some sample data there just to make sure it looks right so it's going to be the end point minus the starting point that gets us our title it should be 22 so we want to compare this number to that one and I'm going to stick 22 there and what's the well the easiest way to compare two numbers is simply equals and the two cells next to each other so is c4 equal to f4 a statement like that will simply return true or false if I miscalculated that and well it would come out as false if I keep doing that and so on so that's fine that works pretty nicely but I want to do something a little bit more fancy with this so I'm going to type in if and if if c4 equals f4 if that is true I want it to return one and if not zero now that seems a little bit redundant if you know a bit of excel because true and false often evaluate as one and zero if you're using maths on it but for conditional formatting it kind of doesn't that so we're going to make sure that it says one or zero you could if you're getting more complicated use one zero and two for like maybe a correct or nearly correct answer we're just keeping it simple for now I'm going to come to conditional formatting and create a new rule just on that cell and we're going to format the cells based on its value I'm not going to do a covers color scale I'm going to do the icon sets so an icon set just flag up an icon depending on the number you do need to change a couple of the defaults on this so I'm going to go by the exclamation marks and the tick marks here make sure to change the type to straight number not a percent by default this icon set is like the top third of your data will be green then the middle third will be yellow the bottom third will be red you don't want that you want it to evaluate the number so when it is greater or equal to one I want it to be green when it is greater or equal to zero I'm going to set that as red you could make this more complicated if you want the three but we're just going to stick it as two for now I'm going to okay that and what you can see is when it is the right answer there's that green tick if I put the wrong answer it's uh nx it's the wrong answer value it's a zero now I'm going to go back into the conditional formatting again and edit that rule and I'm going to click show icon only in the middle okay that reply it and what you can see is it just gets rid of the number it just replaces the data with just the conditional format icon which is really useful because that now becomes formatable partially formatable and we can centre it so that is the wrong answer that is the correct answer number 22 yeah that's going to take it if I put 23 it's wrong now here's the question if I leave that blank that's correct I haven't put in a correct answer so it should be x but what if I just presented this blank let's get rid of the data here suddenly it's marking it is correct but you know that's that's technically true this is what we told the computer to evaluate this is blank that's zero blank equals zero in computer terms so we need to um kind of evaluate this a little bit more precisely we don't want any of the hints or evaluation to trigger until there is an answer to actually evaluate so I'm going to edit this formula a little bit push it over here and just worked here now so the first thing I want to do is if is blank so is blank hit the tablet or to complete it and I want to see if that value c4 there is blank if that is blank what's my true value well it's not going to be one or zero because I don't want a thing to appear there at all I mean I could stick zero in if I wanted to um I'm going to have just two quote mocks uh and that will fill it with nothing now if false if it isn't blank it's worth keeping that always uh in your head properly if it's not blank it's got an answer and I wanted to evaluate an answer so I'm going to go if if that c4 is equal to f4 then one zero and then close that and what we can see is it's now blank it is not going to stick a number on unless we've calculated an actual answer there we go so that's basically all that really needs to happen after that is you to hide this and the easiest way to hide your answer is to simply put uh it is white text there you go you can get rid of it that way uh sometimes i'll either miss the light ish where's it gone lightish gray and then hide it with uh a graph or something so something might be hidden behind a little graph um and that just means if I'm troubleshooting it I just need to move it out of the way another option is if you highlight your column control shift and to the right you can hide the whole thing away now you do that again and you do this it's always um always awkward to do that on hide it again so that's it um that's how you would start an interactive web sheet um oh an interactive worksheet sorry um maybe it could be done better on the web but this doesn't require the hosting I suppose and you can build on it from there so instead of this I'm going to write a calculate title there for instance and then if it's blank it gives me an instruction and usually I will do uh maybe sell style so that looks like that um now once we get rid of the grid lines on the headings now it looks like kind of a worksheet especially if I then go off to review and protect the sheet I can't change anything all I can do is manipulate my answer and see can I calculate it correctly

Hi there guys and welcome back to the channel. A little bit something different today. This is more of an unboxing of something that, well, I missed my darling Bixler. I did, I did, I did. Oh, hello. I got a sweetie. So, I'm just going to get that out of the invoice and that's where I've gotten it from. So, hobby RC in the UK and I get 5% off in the next 30 days. But because I couldn't, because I couldn't get another Bixler, I mean I could. There are 109 pounds, is this right or 106 pounds, sorry, and it's 109 pounds just to send it to me here in the UK. That's really gone south for buying stuff from China. So, I bought this. I bought this. Popped the sweetie on there but I never eat. Because I'm sweet enough. FPV optional. This has got a slightly bigger wingspan than the Bixler. As you can see probably across here, it says 1600. Click and plug. Easily assembly, optional FPV camera, durable, durable unibody fuselage. So, some different mounting platforms, different cameras. So, put the FPV camera in there if you want to and you can put a 4K camera at the top here. And we've got these clicky parts. So, let's see how easy it is then. So, you do that, let's just... I shouldn't really do these little things towards you. They'll tell you in the safety. So, just try and cut away from yourself. So, it's such a lovely day outside. There's hardly any wind whatsoever. It's a great day for flying but of course, this isn't set up and I'm too excited to take the wing out at the moment. And my flying area anyway is all changing because they're building on it. There's a manual. Okay, can I see wires there? Is this thing already got wires plugged in? No, we've got the servos of course are in. Plastic things. So, we can get a little bit of a better angle at this. Okay, yeah, well we'll go over all this sort of thing. Let's first of all, let's just get it out of the box. So, here we are. It's nice getting a bit of a hole in there but I'm sure that's there for a reason. Some sort of... Not sure but that's nice that is. Oh yeah, that's... That feels firmer, sort of tougher if I could say than the Bixler. Let's just see what it's like rigidity. That's nice. Got a nice bit of ply in there. Three ply. I think that's what it'd be called. It's nice to already have the cabling in the course but the problem I got is I don't like these... I don't like these plastic gears and these. They go real quick and that's the problem that is. Got our CG area here but this is if you do it with their setup that they suggest. Got a nice bit of carbon fibre rod in there and we've got nice hinges. That's nice. That's going to have to be used a bit just to get it loosened up. But that's nice. Yeah, that does feel good. It does feel good. Oh, I'm impressed with that. The other one of course is going to be the same. These are the... I'll get that out of there. So this is how you put it in and you just push it in and clip it in and press it down to pull it back out again. I think that's a magnet. No, no, no. Sorry, that's going to be where the metal support is. It's going to have a rod to go in there, tubular by the looks of it to give it its rigidity across the body. But that looks good. Looks good, looks good. Again, you know, these servos, I don't like those. But we'll stick some metal, metal geared ones in. Right, this is the thing with the body here. So let's undo this. I'm going to trip that on the floor just to try and keep things as neat as I can. Let's just shut that down there. Well, so, right, well, this is plastic. This is... They're screwed in, so hopefully you can take those out easy enough. So I can just change those again. Plastic geared, they're not going to last very long. I mean, they'll be all right for just getting a bit of a flight out of it, I expect. So this is all plastic. This is not polystyrene. This isn't going to need any tape on it particularly. There's the... they've got a bit of wood in there on either side, so that...  That's a bit hard if it were to come down on somebody, but it's very unlikely to come in directly down, which is it. So I think these are just going to... it's pushed out a bit there, so I wonder what you've got to do with this to get this off. If that's stuck on with a magnet, that's really, really hard.  You have to pull it out because of these. Little tiny things, I can imagine they're going to be not too difficult to break. Okay, this is going to be for the FPV side of things then. You can fit a mount into there or a servo and then fit your camera and mount on the servo, so you can have it toilet in the belt because you can't remember. You can use your FPV side there and just put an FPV camera in there and then stick a 4K camera up here. What's this? Is this a little quick release? Okay, so on the top of here is a little releasey part, you pull that out and it goes underneath the front and that's it. So you've got to make sure that goes in. You see the way it's all I've moved around first, but then clicked in. I'll keep that in securely, hopefully. All right, and in here then, these are going to be for you. Right, let's just have a little look at what you get in here. You get some of these cable ties that aren't, sorry, battery straps that aren't, but they don't feel like they got the, do we need more light on this? Let's have a look if we can just take this out of here for a minute. Let's see what the light's like. It's too bright, I can't do it because my eyes, my eyes don't like it. Let's just see what that's going to be like for looking inside. That could be better actually. So there we go inside, but these, like I say, they don't have any rubber. I like rubber on the inside because that makes your battery stay in place nicely. You get three of them, there's a battery strap, a bit of Velcro there where it looks a bit. Stick on your battery if you want to, probably a good idea. And I'm going to assume this is where you might want to stick your flight controller if you're going to use one. I'm going to use one in here, and I can see as this doesn't slide about, it's not like, it's not like, Oh, what's that put in there playing, that's really good. And it's going on to where they actually can slide them out, fit your FPV stuff and connect up and everything and slide it back into place. That's lovely, what we got down here. I can't see what the ESC is going to be in there. I'm sure if we look it up low, it will tell us what the ESC is going to be, probably a 30 amp or something. Yeah, quite a long lead there for the battery. And we got some, it's a plastic. I'm just trying to look up there, the offset of this, so you can see it. I put it on there, so it's going one direction or another. So my camera lens, that's it. So it's very slightly, you can actually see that this is stuck out a bit more.  And there's a lot of screws here, so I presume we can take this apart and put a different type of a motor mount there, just to make that a bit straighter. And of course change the motor because these motors aren't going to be much cut, but just for playing around, it might be okay. Now down in here, we've got our rudder. That's nice again, we've got these nice hinges. That vertical stabilizer looks like it's going to fit in quite nicely. We're going to screw these in by the looks of it. The rudder, yeah. Lovely, lovely, lovely, lovely. Oh yeah, very excited about this. Anyway, I just wish it had been a bit more foam. That's why it's cheaper, maybe the foam's more expensive. This, like I say, to buy, to get it from Hobbyking, the Bixler 3. A couple of weeks ago, they were £86, but now they're £106. And it was about $50 for the shipping. And I begrudged that slightly. And I also noticed as well to get a motor mount, that it was going to be, it's £15 for the motor mount. About $18, $19. £15 for the motor mount. American dollars, that is. And I'll just leave that. £15 for the motor mount. About $11 for shipping. And then another $11 for import tax. Which I just thought was a little bit naughty. So there's the decals. No, even though it's a square hole to put this in. Well, no. Not sure. But it did look like a bit of a square hole to put it in. It's a round thing going into a square hole. Alright, well, you know, don't matter. So that's probably better actually, because it's stuck being round and round if they're a little bit too tight or they've got a bit of tape on. They can get stuck so that'll be easier to get out. Probably not so hard to find one of these. And maybe I might need to get a couple more of these just in case. Or something very similar I can find just in case to fit in. Because I've got a funny thing, when it comes to bending these, you're going to be putting quite a bit of stress on that. But we'll see. We'll see, we'll see. We've got a vertical horizontal stabiliser and elevator. Again with the hinges, nice hinges in there. This is what we're going to get. Again, we're quite nicely. It does look nice. It does look nice. Let's just get that and just see straight away what that's going to be like in there. Nice. That does seem like it's going to be nice and sturdy once you get that screwed in. Probably glue it as well. Or it could just be screwed. I mean this could be taken apart quite easily to get out there. This is pretty tough and I suspect it's going to look pretty cool on there. Once you get in the box, blast it back. That's it. Nothing else in the box. 0.4 or something. Let's see what's around there. This is 8.4 here. So I got one of these upstairs, a grey one. I'm going to have to see what it's like. I don't know how well balanced it's going to be or not, but we can sit on the balanced thing a bit later. Oh, got another little screwdriver that always comes in handy. Got a couple of... All right, let's get in here. Let's tip all this stuff out. Check that in there. Forgive my socks and fingers, but I've trimmed the grass. I'm going to put the socks on and do the grass, because I want to get all the bits slapping on your legs. That's polystyrene. We'll probably try and put some in here to make it a bit more... Just a bit more rigid. But we'll see. That's for our servos. And then we've got two. Slightly different. Maybe, I don't know. I guess that's because that's screwed on a bit.  That's pretty nice of them. They do look like they're going to be the same. That one's just not screwed in as far. So, yeah. So this was £111, I think, or £109. I'll put it up on the screen. And that's from here in the UK, next-day delivery. And I really want an aeroplane again, because I left the bigs left, but unfortunately I lost that. But that's lessons that I've learned from that, not to lose another one. Pretty much similar. The bigs was a 1500mm wingspan, which gave it more stability than the wing. You know, the wing can be a little bit yory, and the wing's... Because it's smaller, 900mm, it gets knocked around by the wing a little bit more. It was a bit lighter as well. But this, but the bigs left, I liked that because it was more stable. You get a lovely, smooth flight out of it. The extra bit of weight and the extra bit of wingspan, of course, helps with that. And having the longer fuselage of the tail, the stabiliser's at the back, vertical and horizontal. But of course, now this is going to be the same like that, because the fuselage area here is a bit longer, so it'll help counteract some of this going on. And we've got our tail and vertical and horizontal stabilising at the back, which will help. Yeah, the only thing that is just that tad bit worrying for me is that this is plastic. I feel like I want to put some rubber on the end just so if it does hit somebody. Not that I've ever managed to crash a plane into anybody, or in canals into anybody before. But you know, it's the first time for everything, but I did go and get myself some public liability insurance, and all of my craft are insured on the one policy, which is nice. It only costs £29 for the year, and it looks £12 million. So that's a lot of money. I'm quite sure where that's going. What we've got here, we've got Channel 5. All right. Channel 2. Channel 3, or I presume that's the throttle then. I know, so we're going to have Channel 3 and 4. 2 would be the throttle, I would think. Channel 3 and 4 is going to be unnatural, but I don't know. I need to look in the manual, because it could just be set up differently. I love being set up. That is one hell of a long wire. I don't know why they've got the wire so long. I could probably do that just being half the length, I suppose, but never mind. OK, so that's the first bit. So the next bit will be putting it together and getting all the bits and pieces on there. This is where the... I wonder how easy that is to do that, actually. That's just... Because this is one of the good things about that. That's nice that it's got a space in there already. And then we're just going to come over that. And that's in there. That's there. Wow. There's a good movement there, but then we haven't got our pole in. This isn't in. I'll bet you as soon as we get that in and the other wing was on there, that's going to give that a lot more... Oh yeah, that's rock solid. Oh, that is rock solid. Wow. That's rock solid. That's even better in the bigsler. Yeah, I never thought I'd find, you know, because I just love the bigsler. All right, it's my first aeroplane, but it's just absolutely adorable to fly. And I've got a funny thing, this is going to be just as adorable to fly, because that's rock solid. The wings are rock solid. The fuselage is rock solid, because it's a different material. This, for taking in and out of the field, like this, is going to be so much easier. Here's my bike and here's my saddlebags. And this is how I'll be going across the fields. Hopefully be able to just dump that in there. It sticks out a bit and I may have to screw the tail on the stabilisers on rather than have it in the bike. I'm not sure where this bit's come from. All right. I'll have to have a little look and see where that bit goes. But anyway, that's a bit of a quick unboxing on this one, guys. So this is going to be the bit we're working on and I'll see you for the next update very, very quickly in this series of what's going to be my next fun plane to fly. Thanks for watching and I'll catch you in the next one.
