Welcome to the last set news. Take a top stories in crypto and bring out a bite-sized piece is today The question really has to be asked is did we miss the boat on Solana? And should we actually being vesting in Solana after a 343 increased in less than 30 days So we'll take a look at what's going on as far as like where we are now the Solana ecosystem And we're going to compare Solana to ethereum in 2017 and the parabolic run it went through Also, we'll take a look at Solana CEO interview and some main points and dissect that And lastly, we'll take a look at price action or price predictions So before we jump into all of that and what's going on specifically in the market I want to just bring to light a quick article about social security And medicare and that's in the united states not in the united states We have social security, which you know gives us a little bit of money in our retirement and medicare is like our is our Health care system for everybody 65 and older. No, we don't have universal health care So what I want to say is congratulations to everybody who was invested in the crypto Because there's going to be a lot more things like this coming on the pipe And uh, I just would say to you, uh, just be cautious about what's going on. So real quick Social security now projected run out of money sooner than expected The social security trust fund most americans rely on for their retirement Will run out of money in 12 years One year sooner than expected the financial outlook for social security and medicare is also bleak as we're looking to round of medicare As far as the hospital reimbursement and six years or less So, uh, that is what is going on. So just remember something, uh, cryptocurrency Was created out of the the financial devastation of the 2008 Housing market crisis bitcoin specifically So when we take a look at what is going on in the world around us and our governments You can't trust anybody the only one you can trust is you so do your own research and do your due diligence And make sure that you are in the right place at the right time, which I think you are All right. So that is that little snippet Uh, a little, uh drop of scare scaring this but uh, here's some good news First of all, uh, the market cap today is fantastic 2.27 trillion touches 2.3 trillion goes up and down and so on so forth bitcoin price Just won over 50 000 and just went down to 49 9 and the average, uh daily sentiment still 43 about you know halfway there But the bitcoin daily sentiment is 70 out of 100 and this is we are again Using trade the chain for some reason I keep getting questions about this about what i'm using it's trade the chain There's a link in the description looks just like this And you can go there for sentiment analysis on every crypto current digital assets that are pretty much is out there At least the top like 400 or 500 or something crazy like that. So check out trade the chain and that is what is going on Let's just jump in to today's Topics, which is solana solana and more solana. So not so much it as far as news. We know what's going on Look cardano is about to hit their um, their smart contracts We see a lot of things with ethereum moving forward. Yes gas fees are high therium 2.0 Hopefully right around the corner and a lot of different things that are going on and uh, el salvador I believe on the uh 7th is going to make uh bitcoin. It's legal tender So a lot of great things going on But what I want to focus on today was solana because everything has just been going up And the question I keep getting asked is did I miss the boat and uh to answer that question We have to do just uh, you know our due diligence. So first of all, where the heck are we? Well, solana today just passed dogecoin, which is crazy to me that it just passed dogecoin And I said here solana overtakes dogecoin even though doge is bursting with utility A stellar team of developers and fantastic tokenomics and of course that is sarcasm So, uh, there is a huge disconnect in the market as far as like, uh, what is actual utility everything else? I know dogecoin all your holders are gonna, you know, just rail on me But I gotta I mean when we go through this this solana You cannot tell me that dogecoin has more utility than solana So we'll we'll just we'll just go there. I'm happy for you. I mean, if you invest in dogecoin great Good job. I invest in dogecoin a long time ago made a good amount of money. Uh, but that's not what we're here for So that is where we are right now and solana is uh looking around 143 dollars, which is pretty good It's considering like last year. It was like 50 cents or something crazy like that And then uh, me and mike the investor We also uh, did a deep dive into this we talked about cardano and solana And uh, we'll link that in the description below a lot of great information there Especially for mike, he knows a lot about solana and a lot a lot of what's going on So I highly recommend that video if you want to go even deeper But take a look at where are we now? This is where we're at and everybody's really enthralled with what is going on as far as like solana and transactions per second You're gonna hear that a lot tps transactions per second How many times can solana actually transact in on the blockchain in a second? And how fast is it as compared to something else, right? So like right now if you go to solana.com, it'll tell you live transactions per second Is 1662 that's pretty good because bitcoin is like in the teens I can't even tell you what it is 7 to 14 something like that ethereum is like around 45 Cardano is uh, not that high. Oh, whatsoever. And then of course in solana. Hey, it's uh, pretty high Which people will ask well, how close is that to like a visa? Why did you ask that question? So with with visa they do about 1700 transactions per second So right away I can tell you solana is doing pretty much what visa is now There's a question about finality and how that all works and and and and as it actually goes through Is there like a final settlement? It's not what we're talking about today. Just transaction second pretty good You got a lot of validator nodes almost a thousand So yeah, okay We'll say it's a pretty good decentralized and the the next question that we're going to take a look at is You know how things are going is the ecosystem. So how does solana stack up?  I believe his name is uh, I know I butcher his name So I of course every time in the comments how I butchered it But uh, of course, uh for salana ftx and alameda research chose salana for speed And we're going to talk about this real quick when the ceo salana talks about how He met up with the ceo of ftx and what they did. So there's one part to that and then it gets a little crazier usdc The stablecoin from circle chose salana for fast global settlement 500 million or 50 million average issue daily 837 million issued on salana not too bad. And then also, uh metaplex chose salana to elevate creators And metaplex is for nfts and those seem to be doing pretty good lately If you've been following the nft revolution what's going on, but what's I want to want you notice is here 34 cents average mint cost to mint an nft on metaplex Which is run on top of salana is 34 cents average auction cost is three dollars So if you want to talk about getting up to the masses that is huge and on top of that You've also got soul c.io, which is an nft marketplace Which is goes live today and I'll see you've got another one called salon art.io Which is also doing nfts right now. So it's not like it's vaporware and then to move forward audience, uh, that's that's uh Great one just got picked up by tiktok Chose salana to scale so that says something about that and then of course back around we go And that's just the top ones but now If you look at the projects that are being built on it. Here's 332 more So I'm not going to go through all these but you're welcome to do that I will link this in the description. You can check it out But uh, it seems like salana has no shortage of people or projects being built upon it looking pretty good So that is that piece and also there was one more thing about how Salana 50 000 electric vehicles charging stations in europe to offer crypto payments There's two payments have partnered up to roll out crypto across 50 000 It's uh hips hips payment group limited and vorty The integration of crypto payments with charging stations will occur over the next three years Starting november 2021 and that's right around the corner. So like I've always said, I think q4 Is going to be fireworks for cryptocurrency and this is their actual Payment terminal looks pretty cool, right? You got let's say visa right here You got crypto apple pay start charging membership swish and so on and so forth And that's going to be for all electrical vehicle payments and the protocol Was built on ethereum and salana in may 2021 and plans to expand support to cardano In the future and that's before we go on I need to make mention of one thing and that is that we are talking about salana And don't be confused that just because i'm talking about salana in depth today that that's all i'm investing in I believe that people Well, I believe for myself. I can't tell you i'm not a financial advisor. This is just a financial opinion Not financial advice, but I really do believe that it's not a zero sum game It's not a one token to rule them all highlander nonsense I think there's a lot of different space for this and even if we go up to I don't know 100 150 trillion dollar market cap Even if ethereum is 50 percent of that We've got somebody else like a salana like a cardano or whatever else or vice versa It doesn't really matter. I think uh, we are so early right now. It really doesn't matter I think we should stop the tribalism and gets a little bit ridiculous and uh, that's just my two cents So, uh, that is that little piece right there and then the next part here If we talk about salana, what's going on there was this, uh I belong to the uh patreon group over at invest answers with james and he put this out This was a real rowl pal Over there at real vision. He said salana is the east of this cycle He also said that ethereum is the greatest trade of all time as far as like risk to reward ratio And uh, I thought it was interesting because i'm like, huh salana is the east of this cycle Well, it could be because back in gosh, let me blow this up Back in the good old days 2015 or sorry 2017 you saw the price of ethereum 10 bucks 9 bucks 965 and it went all the way in about a year To $1,100 that's a pretty good deal and then for uh, Solana we take a look at that if we just go back just one year It was about two bucks, right? And then we go all the way up to here to just a measly 128 or 143 whatever is right now So I think it's got a ways to go and we've seen a lot of things like that But salana could be the 2017 eth because everybody compares it to it as far as an eth killer I don't think anything's like a real big eth killer right now I think ethereum will go to 10k regardless because Everybody says it's going to go and everybody believes in it But uh, we'll see what happens when eth 2.0 comes out. I think There'll be a a big dip after that. But who knows so, um, I think salana could be that 2017 ride so on top of that I wanted to share with you just the basics for it was a interview on bloomberg called odd lots and they just had on The CEO of salana and toli and a toli yoko venko I'm pretty sure I know that one and they just had asked him a couple questions He answered and it I think it's important to understand where he's coming from As far as like who he is who his team is what they do in the utility So, uh, I can't blow this up because it just looks a little bit goofy Someone's going to read it to you right down here in introduction But banks aren't losing money defy defy user user interface is tough for noobs Ethereum is tough for serious trading because of wait times and gas fees and that's true If you're an ethereum maximalist, you got to be True and tell me that the ethereum gas fees are out of control. All right. So it says here This was the anatoly people kind of accept that blockchain is an inefficient database The trade-off is called the tri lemma Decentralization performance and security. That's the problem You can't do everything in blockchain because either you're going to have a decentralized factor or You can centralize it and you can scale it and make it super secure But it's not decentralized or you can make it super to centralize But it's not really that secure and uh, you can't really scale too well And that's why a theorem is going for proof of work to prove mistake So, uh, they're saying eth and pow systems weren't designed to maximize bandwidth And uh, this is what was interesting to me and a toly's background the ceo Most of the career was at qualcom from 2003 flip phones. I remember those 2015 optimizing augmented reality on a supercomputer. He says, uh, you can use multiple You can use time division multiple access how 2g cellular networks work If you allow everyone to transmit on the cellular network at the same time you get noise This is similar to proof of work networks. So this is how we figured out this thing called proof of history Instead of proof of work or proof of state This is a clock outside of consensus It rotates the buttons of when any block producer and transmits a block due to about every 1.6 seconds Makes consensus much more efficient and removes, uh, many bottlenecks and then to go on No, not there the goals of salana Let's see and this was interesting and this really gets down to just how early we really are So listen to this and it's always says the seed level slide deck Literally said blockchain at nasdaq speed and that was what he would give to his investors just to talk about salana And he said initially they'd be going after monopolies like nasdaq and cme And at first it was a dream felt like a silly tagline on a slide deck But now it feels real I think there's a chance that financial execution trading can actually run on salana In the next five to ten years For the majority of things that are traded in the world and that's really what it comes down to So you see where his background is you see what he's been doing and he can even tell you that the CEO of salana goes Look, this is a great project. And I think we can do really well But we're like five to ten years away from what it is So when you think like, ah, you know, I missed the opportunity and this isn't the right time and da da You're so early of no idea. And that's just really what it comes down to so Moving on to the next piece here I already did that one Let's talk about Price action And that's the big thing and before I talk about this I'll just tell you what I'm doing personally So there are a couple of things that I still dollar cost average every single day And one of those is salana and I haven't stopped that yet. I don't think We're near where we should be I did a price prediction video not too long on june And I gave a prediction that I thought it would go to 200 bucks. This is when salana was at $23 And I said there's no way that it can't go at least back to its all-time high and not hit 200 bucks And now I mean now we're at almost 150 and I think I low balled it But I mean look no one's gonna be mad at me for for low balling something So I think we are exactly where we should be. So I still dollar cost average Salana I still dollar cost average cardano every couple of days not every single day And also avalanche and a couple other ones. I do not dollar cost average bitcoin anymore. I think it's For me, it's done. I've got it. I've got my positions. Ethereum I don't dollar cost average anymore because I think for me right now it's done And uh, that's for me now if people want to be more safe and dollar cost average, that's fine I just think of that for me. I've already got my safe positions Now I do a little bit more riskier stuff and off I go So if you talk about this price of 200 dollars, maybe I really am low balling it Let's take a look here. So there's the market cap calculator. So the coins. It's about 143 It's circulating supply is let's take a look make sure I'm correct Circulating supply is 291 billion no million 258,212 so we go back over here to an island blah blah and its market cap is 41 just 41 billion. So market cap around 41. Yeah, exactly So 41 billion so not too shabby in itself. So we're looking at Solana 41 billion Why couldn't we're only at 2 trillion dollars 2.3 trillion right now? Why couldn't Solana? I mean we're at 143 to hit 300. We just need 82 billion Which would put it right around finance coin. Why couldn't we do that? Isn't there enough out there where people are speculating to go this could really do it And then that's the 300 so 200 dollars. I don't see I think we're gonna blow right past I think I'm a little bit off, but that's where I see it could go And uh, this to me is 100 to 150 trillion dollar market cap asset class And that's where I see it and the reason is is because of this graphic, which I talk about all the time Take a look at this See this little square right here. It says silver Silver right here That little square that's a hundred billion dollars. It's a hundred billion. That's silver right there crypto is about this This was uh, this was made in May 27 2020 Here's the military spending. I know that went up. Here's the budget deficit that went way up coins feds balance sheet billionaires gold Uh, gold's at a 12 trillion dollar market cap portion 500 stock markets. You're looking at almost 100 trillion dollars It says 89.5 right here, but uh, yeah 100 trillion dollars for the for the stock market. Couldn't we tokenize some of that? How about the money supply? How about the global debt? How about the real estate? Can we tokenize real estate? How about the wealth that's out there? And that's for everybody throughout the entire globe and what about derivatives and we're talking about uh, I mean everything you could possibly think of And then here's how far it goes. We're talking about one quadrillion One quadrillion dollars. So if you think that 2 trillion 2.4 or 5 trillion is the limit look where we're at right here for the entire world's money and markets And that is it. So look Uh, I still think so long's got a long ways to go. We'll see how far it has to go but again Um, only time will tell but for everything I just talked about you have to be aware that what goes up Will come down and that there is only so much that it can actually be pumped into and it's not a straight up hockey stick There's going to be volatility and peaks and valleys. So just be cautious and that's it for today So look, yeah, if you like the video found a little uh value in it Uh, give it a like give it a thumbs up all consider subscribing I think we talk about our time sensitive and that's it for today. So thanks so much. I appreciate it And I'll see you on the next one


Okay, in the last video we were looking at VT100 files, which were basically text files with, you know, escape characters in them that would play animations in your shell. Now there are actually programs that do ASCII art animations, and I showed this one years ago. It's in your repository, so on a Debian system you can use apt, aptitude, aptget, whatever package range you prefer, but you would install CMatrix. And I already have it installed, but you would go through the process of installing that, and you also want PV installed, so you would actually do this if you don't already have PV installed, which I think is installed on most systems. So and the way it works is to type in CMatrix, you run it and you get a matrix shell, or yeah, matrix display in your shell. Control C to clear out of that. So let's say we wanted to save that to a text file. I can run CMatrix and pipe it into a file, I'll just call it CM or redirect it into a file, and when you hit enter you're not going to see anything because it's all being put into that text file. We'll let it run for a little bit and then I'll hit control C to stop it. Now if we were to try to cat that out, yeah, it worked. It just worked really fast. Just like our other videos, it happened so fast that we didn't see it. So let's go ahead and do what we did last time, which is PV-Q-L and give it a blood rate, we'll say 9600 and we'll hit enter. And now it's slowing down that animation so we should be able to see it. You might have black or a few seconds there and then it starts up. And there you go. I hit control C. Now you notice I don't have a cursor anymore because it kind of messed up my shell. Again, you can type reset and it will fix that and I now have a cursor again. If we wanted to, we can make it go a little bit faster by upping the blood rate. So there we go. So I mean that's just a fun little trick. Now you might be asking why you would want to do this and that's a very good question. Again, I'm going to control C and again I've lost my cursor so I'm going to reset my shell. And I can come up with some ideas on why you might want to do this. Maybe you want to write a shell script that displays that for a bit but you don't want them to have to have C matrix installed. You just want to have it built into your system. Well you can put that text into your shell script or as a separate file and you don't have to worry about having the binary file of C matrix installed on the system. Or maybe you're on a system that C matrix isn't necessarily readily available for. It's not in the package manager or maybe you're working on a router that you're logging into and for some reason you want to just be cool and have the matrix shell in there. And so you don't want to have to recompile C matrix or find a copy for that processor. Well if this is a plain text file which means any system we're on you can cat it out. I'm not mistaken, let me see something real quick. I could be wrong, yeah I don't see it here. Disregard what I was about to say. Of course you would still need PV installed, I just accidentally locked my machine. You still need PV installed but I don't think that's what I really thought was part of Busybox. Maybe my copy of Busybox doesn't have it installed, I could have sworn PV was part of Busybox. But anyway, there's really no real reason to do this. Record it to a file other than the fact that you can and again the most common is maybe you want to throw that into a shell script as an intro to your shell script or something like that without actually having the binary installed on a system because once it's in a shell script it's all plain text, the architecture of the system does not matter so there's nothing to recompile.

Links, discounts to all my favorite things and my Facebook group are also down in that description box. So let's jump in to this Saturday's grocery haul. Boo boo before we get started on our grocery haul tell everyone you're doing good. Oh you cozy buddy so I was outside and hot.  I will link it down below for you. So the first thing I picked up were these absolutely stunning carnations. These are so pretty this hot pink light pink carnation. I'm going to put these on my kitchen table. Troy asked for Gatorade so I picked up the zero sugar Gatorade. He's been taking these in his lunch just because it's so incredibly hot here. A loaf of bread for Troy sandwiches. He's going to do tuna fish this next week and then of course we just like to have bread on hand for toast and sandwiches. I decided to pick up some chow body flips. I've seen a couple of the beauty YouTubers that I watch having these snacks in their videos and it just sounded really good. So I did grab the peanut butter dream and then two of the chewy churro. I've heard this one is the best. So I grabbed a few of those just to have on hand. Some pork loin for my lunch meal prep. I am so excited for my meal prep this next week. Stay tuned at the end of the video for what you'll be seeing on Monday in my meal prep. Light shredded cheese for a couple of dinner recipes and we just always have the Trader Joe's light shredded cheese on hand. It's the best. Trader Joe's fat-free pizza sauce. This is one of my all-time favorite pizza sauces. A can of fat-free refried beans for a dinner recipe. The ones from Trader Joe's are my favorite. A couple of new drink vines from Trader Joe's versus this organic cold brew green tea with lemon. 45 calories for this entire container of green tea. The reason it has calories is because it has a little bit of sugar, but I wanted to try this. I love green tea and love lemon in my tea. Also the organic sparkling green tea beverage. This is zero calories, so zero points. They had a couple of different ones. They had a Yerba mate one. I didn't check that one out, but this one sounded really delicious. Sparkling tea. Yes, please. I asked if I would make his favorite pasta salad. I do have that recipe on my recipe website, which is linked down in the description box. In that salad, we use a whole one-pound block of cheese. Also, I added an entire pack of diced ham. New to me from Trader Joe's are these chicken spring rolls. I've never purchased these. There are 100 calories apiece, which I didn't think was bad at all, and I thought these would be so delicious tossed in the air fryer. Also, a staple on hand are the Trader Joe's turkey corn dogs. I absolutely love these. Again, pop them in your air fryer. They're so crispy and delicious. It kind of feels like you're at the county fair. I did pick up three bottles of kombucha. I still have a few left over from my Last and Perfect Foods order, so I grabbed two of the ginger aid and then one of the strawberry lemonade. Green juice for Troy. We don't need to talk about it. Troy asked for yogurt-covered pretzels for his lunch. These ones at Trader Joe's are his all-time favorite. He also wanted some corn chips. I have that really good spinach kale dip that I picked up last week at Trader Joe's and some hummus in the fridge, so he wanted to have the chips to dip in both that dip and the hummus. Some almond meal. I needed this for my meal prep, and I don't think I've honestly ever bought almond meal. I think this is different than almond flour, so if you know the difference, leave it down in the comments. This was pretty affordable. I think it was like 5.99 at Trader Joe's. These little mini French baguettes are our favorite. I don't know if these are seasonal or if they just come and go, but they have not had them at Trader Joe's for a long time. Well, when I went today, they had them again, so I went ahead and picked up two packs. These are truly the size of a bread stick, but they're really good and they're only 100 calories. I add a little bit of butter and garlic salt. Absolutely delicious. Turkey pepperoni, this is for a dinner recipe this next week. Sharp cheddar cheese slices for sandwiches, and we just always like to have cheese slices on hand. Some sweet relish for Troy's pasta salad, and I love sweet relish on burgers, hot dogs. A can of petite diced tomatoes for dinner. Two cans of cut green beans for the dogs. They get green beans instead of table scraps whenever we have a meal. A jar of roasted red bell peppers. This is for a recipe and I really, really like to put these in with scrambled eggs in wraps, and these are also really, really delicious on sandwiches and burgers, so I went ahead and picked them up. I went through the entire last jar. That's how much I love them. A can of fire roasted chilies for a dinner recipe. A can of tuna for tuna sandwiches for Troy this next week. I have, I think, three small cans from Thrive Market in my pantry, so this should fill in the gaps for the entire week's worth of sandwiches. A can of sliced olives for Troy's pasta salad. I haven't bought these in a while, but he really likes these in his lunch. These are the Cascade Farms, vanilla chip, chewy granola bars. These are actually really, really delicious, nice and clean ingredients for a granola bar. For a sweet treat for me this week, I grabbed some of the chocolate almond biscottis from Trader Joe's. I absolutely love these. They're 100 calories apiece, which is not bad, and they are big. The biscotti takes up this entire package. Four pack of the vanilla, two good yogurts. I've been loving yogurt. I ate all the ones I had on hand over the course of this last week. I decided to try out my green thumb again or lack of a green thumb. If you missed my video where I shared that I had to buy mint because I actually killed my mint plant, I am hoping I can keep this beauty alive. I just think it's so pretty with the green and the white, so I'm going to repot this, cross your fingers. I'll keep you guys updated in future videos on whether or not this beauty survives. A box of elbow macaroni. This is for the pasta salad and lots of lean cuisines for Troy. For early morning breakfast, so I have a lasagna, a mac and cheese, rigatoni, and a fettuccine with chicken and broccoli, and everything else is produce. So I picked up a bag of frozen corn for my lunch meal prep, a bag of organic limes for my water, and also for a couple of recipes. Green onions for salads as well as a dinner recipe. Zucchini for a recipe.  A bag of cabbage. This is for my lunch meal prep. Again, I can't wait to share what I'm doing at the end of this video with you guys. A bag of cilantro for meal prep, some red radishes for Troy's pasta salad, a watermelon because it's summer. And this is one of my favorite fruits during the summer. And last but not least, a big pack of strawberries for meal prep as well as for fruit for the week. So that is everything in this week's grocery haul. Let's jump into what I'm doing for dinners this week, as well as what you'll be seeing on Monday in meal prep. So here is what is on my menu for the week. This is the week of July 17th through July 23rd. I still am absolutely amazed how fast the month of July has went. If you think it flew by, let me know down in the comments. But today, Saturday, we are doing out for dinner. Troy wants pizza. So I don't know if we'll do frozen pizza or Papa Murphy's, but we are going to have pizza tomorrow. Sunday is baked chicken tacos. You guys will see this recipe in next Wednesday's what I eat today. So stay tuned Monday. I'm going to do herb balsamic chicken. This is an RO or a rollover from last week, a recipe that I didn't actually get to make because I was filming another type of dinners video for you guys. Tuesday is a leftover night. Wednesday, we're doing pizza in a bowl. I'm pretty excited for this. Thursday, I'm going to do little miniature meat loaves. I might throw that in with some potatoes and some veggie. And then Friday, we always have leftovers to eat up anything left over from earlier in the week. And here's what you'll be seeing on Monday for meal prep. I am seriously so excited for these recipes for breakfast. I'm making corn meal muffins with roasted red peppers and feta cheese. That sounds amazing for lunch. I'm really excited for this. I'm doing a pulled pork bowl with avocado slaw. So Troy's not the biggest fan of pork and I like pork.  So I can't wait for that. And then I'm doing a strawberry oatmeal bar. It's all summer vibes. Troy actually is excited for this. So those are the three recipes you'll be seeing on Monday for meal prep. Thank you for joining me for another WW grocery haul.

So there you go guys. Jasper's case breaks calm last one here sells with the football mixer And we are done at 27. Let's get that done. Appreciate it guys


So, today I wanted to spend some time in clearing any doubts about the submission and evaluation detail of the projects. I will recite the important dates in the remaining evaluation schedule and then we will briefly discuss the NCEM semester examination syllabus and the structure of the NCEM paper. Since this is the last lecture of the course, I will offer some concluding remarks and we will close it. I had mentioned these things earlier, but this is more of a recapitulation. This is your final project report. So, this must include the copy of the document of the Stage 1 report. You would have submitted it earlier, but there were many students who said that they would have liked to improve it and so on and they might have made a subsequent submission, but the reports that have been evaluated are on the basis of whatever you submitted on the schedule date. So, if you wish to report that you have made some modifications and this may happen by the way with all projects, when you start up you think of something, but you refine your thinking as you go ahead and when you complete the project, you might have a much better and clearer idea and focus of what exactly should have been stated as the main object. It is possible that you might want to revamp part of your Stage 1 report. So, this is perfectly fine. The copy of the document of Stage 1 report, I will say, so Stage 1 report modified if necessary. Obviously, it should not include all the sample course that you might have written or any other sub directories or any such thing. Only the main report that you had submitted in Stage 1, if you wish to modify the modified version, in which case you should state that this is modified version so that it will be read proper. Otherwise, if you just include it, it will be assumed that you are going ahead, you have gone ahead with whatever you had stated earlier. Then it should contain your main report. So, brief description of various modules and programs that you have written, status of completion. It is not necessary that every team would have succeeded in completing all the targets that one had started with. After all, it's a limited time course project. It's not a full-time activity for any one of you. So, that is perfectly possible and acceptable. There's no problem about it. But you should state as to which programs have been completely tested, which are not yet working fully or which have yet to be written. And all this should be in the context of whatever you set out to do. Very important, as you know, we started off with these projects as open-ended projects. So, it is nobody's case that whatever you decided to do was the only thing that could be done for that project. If you had infinite time, for example, if you had one more year to complete the project, you would perhaps think of many additional things that you would like to do. So, it is not whether you would like to do it or not. But the ideas that you get for future extension of the project should be included as a specific paragraph saying ideas for future work. Then there should be a very brief description of individual contributions, specifically the actual work done by each individual member of the team. So, if your project has, say, for example, 10 programs, then who wrote which programs, who contributed to ideas in which program, who designed the algorithms, who did the documentation, who did the testing. So, for each student member of the team, you should very briefly, two or three lines only, should state what work was done by them. So, that will tell me the nature of the work. Of course, the amount of time spent will come out in individual diaries, which I will be describing. As usual, there should be a single tar file. This time it should say lab underscore batch, that is 432-721-561, whatever. Followed by, I'm sorry, there should have been a, there should be a underscore here. It should contain the word final underscore report, so that we can distinguish it. We'll be combining your stage one and this report together. So, this word final report is important, because the same batch number will be there for the first stage tar file also. It should contain, as usual, the last time, all the subdirectories that you might have. For example, you might have a sub directory for programs, sub directory for documentation, sub directory for test data, depending on how you have organized. All those subdirectories should be put together in that tar. The date for submission, at least some of you would have read the mail which I had sent yesterday evening, right? So, the date for submission is extended. This is because many people pointed out that some have their last lab today, that is Friday, and important discussions and finalizations could take place today. And it will be unreasonable that the lab ends at 10 o'clock, and 12 midnight is the submission time. So, therefore, we thought about it and decided that we'll extend the submission time, but not to midnight to 9 o'clock on Saturday. So, please remember it is 9 p.m. We'll be having special lab sessions instead of Sunday, which we usually used to have, we'll have these on Saturday. So, Saturday 2 to 4 and 4 to 6. But no other work is expected to be done except consolidating your project report and uploading your files. That is the objective. Some of you can upload it from your own laptops or connecting any other way to Moodle. That is also perfectly fine, but in any case it should be done before 9 o'clock. I'll tell you the reason why I'm not putting this as midnight, and that is because I need to personally read at least the description of the work done by individuals and the diary consolidated entries, which I'll describe in a moment, in order to select sample students from every batch for Viva, which is scheduled on Sunday. I should have some finite time at my disposal to read it. If the last time is midnight, then I will have barely about four or five hours, and you will agree that isolating 70 reports and reading them and making up the mind, and also I would like to catch at least one or two hours of sleep if possible. You would not like me sleeping during the Viva, right? Actually, you would like it. But I would not like it. I would like to be awake when I conduct the Viva. So these, you can pre-register for these labs. There is a pre-registration link, and you can register. I would suggest that a large number of students should not come up. Typically, one or two members from each team should register, either from two to four or from four to six and finish up the work. Those of you who have completed your programming and can consolidate and upload the reports from your own laptops or from your own hostels, you're most welcome to do so. This is merely an additional facility. But nine o'clock tomorrow is the deadline. As I mentioned, sample Viva sessions are planned on Sunday. Unfortunately, since I can't select people, I can't put up the list of selected people before I have selected them. So that is why I will send a mail and put up the schedule on the model by six o'clock on Sunday morning. I hope to finish my own evaluation by that time. So six o'clock Sunday morning, a mail will be sent from me, giving you a file containing the names of the students and the schedule. You don't have to wait for the whole day for that Viva, because the Viva will go on for the whole day. But I will allocate schedule on an hourly basis. So it will be, for example, when we start from nine o'clock onwards, nine to ten, ten to eleven, eleven to twelve, twelve to one, or the morning hours, and two to three, three to four, four to five, or the afternoon hours. I am told that some students might have an insane exam on that day for some lab or something, or some Viva. Such students should immediately send a mail, and I will reschedule their Viva in the evening on Sunday from five to six slot. So that slot five to six is a special slot for such people. It is not, this is a sample Viva, sample schedule. If I get convinced that the marks allocated on the peer review basis are reasonable, I may not sample anybody from a team. In some cases, I may sample two or more students from a team. That is what sampling is all about, okay? Now, this is what is important. As I said earlier, you might never have given marks to yourselves. And you might not have ever defended such marks to a group of colleagues. In my opinion, this activity itself is very important and should teach you a whole lot of things. In particular, when you become professionals later, you would be perpetually evaluating yourself. At most, a manager of yours might be evaluating you. So unless you learn to evaluate yourself correctly, you would have difficulties later. This is one exercise in doing that. There's nothing to do with programming. It has to do with judging yourself reasonably accurately, relative to a group of people with whom you are working. So, I repeat this here. The marks are to be allocated by each one by finding out the qualitative and quantitative contribution made to the project. Quantitative contribution is not very difficult to measure because it is quantitative. In general, I can work out totally how many hours and minutes I have spent on the project could be for different activities. If I have written programs, how many lines of code I have been able to write? If I have written documentation, how many pages of documentation I have been able to write? If I have done testing, how much of testing I have done? If I have spent time in discussion of ideas, how much time I have spent? I should be able to get that time from the diary entry. I would know that. Qualitative contribution has to be judged by each individual. Because since I am working in a team, I would know roughly what everybody has done. Within the job that was allocated to me, how much of quality work I have been able to put? How much of correct things I have been able to do? How much of my mind I have applied? Now, this is a judgment. And these judgments may differ from people to people. That's the reason why the marks are not finalized by an individual. Although initially, I will say, I deserve so many marks. Here are some guidelines. The maximum contribution should typically get 9 or 10 marks. Average contribution should get 6 or 8 marks. I will clarify this a little bit more because I had an instance where a team, this happened not last year, but here before last. The team claimed that everybody contributed equally and gave 10 marks to everyone. Now, if everybody contributed equally, then the contribution is average. And that should deserve 6 to 8 marks. So, they almost lost 3 marks during the viva when they were told that you can't get 10, everybody will get 3. Then the coordinator who was accompanying that student said, Sir, permit us to revamp our thing. We'll have a meeting quickly and we'll decide. Because it is obvious that in any group of 6, 7, 8 people, everybody is doing exactly the same amount of qualitative and quantitative contribution is unlikely. Some people would have done more work, some people would have done less work. In particular, there could be some absolute sleeping members in your team. If they exist, then they must be given zero marks. If they are not given zero marks and because they are your friends and I value friendship as much as you do, but a real friendship must say, look, you have earned and you have no business claiming more marks because that might jeopardize the whole batch. In such cases, obviously every member of the batch may suffer if that person is selected, suppose you give such a person 3 marks or 4 marks saying that you have done little work, but actually turns out that the student has done no work at all, then every member of the team will lose 3 marks out of it. So please remember to be very, very careful with these markings. The general process is that everybody forms an idea of the marks that I should get and we should have a quick meeting. Ordinarily, this meeting would not take more than 15 to 20 minutes. If you already conducted such meeting, that is fine. If you are not, please conduct it. Today is your last time at most tomorrow morning. There must be a formal meeting. The meeting minutes should be recorded. That means on plain paper you should write the roll numbers and names of everybody should say, we met at this date, this time. And the marks finalized were this. This is what you will copy. But the hard copy evidence signed by the coordinator on the day of the meeting has to be produced at the time of Viva. So that is necessary. I hope you agree that when you have an authority to give marks to yourselves, you must have appropriate accountability to justify whatever you do. So is this clear? Let me mention this very specifically because I am going to put this on the Moodle. I suspect that most of you would not have conducted such meetings so far. This is your time. If you have done it, you can construct the minutes of the meeting by writing them on one page. Coordinator should sign that. And this page must be brought to the Viva from the person who is selected. In case, in some teams, I don't select anybody, the coordinator would be requested to submit this and other material which I will be elaborating now. So this is required for the Sunday work. This need not be a very elaborate write up or something. The minutes would say that we've made and discussed these marks. If there has been any strong observations by someone, for example, there could be a dispute. You could write one line that such and such person disputed the marks being given. However, this was our opinion. In such cases, you can also write the marks of what that student claims. And the marks that were finally allocated after peer review, okay? That is the purpose of the minutes. You basically record all the discussion that takes place. But it did not be a very elaborative formal affair. Just one page will be submitted. Now, the marks that you write by hand on this are to be, of course, consolidated and submitted as part of your report, which has to be entered in soft copy. All of you must be keeping hard copies of the diaries. These are important because all these will be evaluated individually. I had said that I need a consolidated diary report for the entire project team. I have suggested a format, which I am trying to elaborate here. For example, you can say consolidated diary, put these columns. Discussions, design, programming, testing, documentation, and miscellaneous. Miscellaneous could be any other activity which is not so classic. So for example, some student here might have spent two hours, 30 minutes in discussions, may not have participated in designing, may have spent four hours, 50 minutes in programming, may have spent three hours in designing, etc., etc. So these entries are to be consolidated. How will you consolidate these? Each individual student is maintaining the hard copy of the personal diary. From that personal diary, you can ask each student only to compile this information. But the coordinator should cross check with that physical diary that yes, there is no addition mistake or something. I have seen that addition mistakes on the positive side occur very frequently in such consolidated diaries. So that should not happen because if on a cross check that is found, that will be tantamount to cheating. And the whole batch may suffer because of that. I will not hesitate incidentally in giving zero marks for the entire team, for the entire project.  That is not acceptable in this course as you know. Everything else is okay. So this is how you will consolidate these. So again to recapitulate, every student should consolidate from one's own physical diary entries the total number of hours and minutes. This is not fractional hours by this. So don't write 4.52 hours, four hours colon so many minutes. That's the, that's the idea. And every student should consolidate such time under these categories. Bring it together. This consolidation by the way can also be done during your final meeting. Because when you meet everybody should bring the diaries. These diaries need to be collected by the coordinator necessarily, as I'll explain. The paper copies of the project diary maintained by each student should be collected physically. These are to be brought to the Viva session by the student selected for the Viva from that batch. Typically I would expect a student selected for the Viva should be accompanied by one of the coordinators. If the coordinator is unable to come, then anyone active member of the team who is aware of the jobs that were allocated to different students and the work that was done. I'll tell you why it is necessary. Many times the student who is selected for the Viva may happen to be one of the weaker students in the batch. Now weaker students apart from doing relatively less contribution often turn out to be very shy students and students who cannot speak well. Now what happens that during the Viva, if the student is not able to defend? Because essentially what is that Viva about? I'm claiming, I'm trying to claim that the student has not done as much as the student claims and student has to refute this. So, in short the team coordinator or any other active member will work as what you may call defense lawyer for that student. That coordinator has to help that student defend himself or herself that yes, this work has been done, this is the explanation, whatever. So that is why it is useful. It is also important exercise should do that. Ordinarily this Viva would be over in two minutes because if we figure out there will be a pipeline process incidentally, two of my colleagues will be sitting in the class. These Vivas will be conducted on Sunday in room number 304 and 305 of the crested building, I will put up the schedule and this thing. All students are to assemble in a lecture hall on the third floor. There will be my staff there who will guide you. So the students who come for that one hour slot and the other students who come for the next hour should all assemble there. They will be called batch wise as they are called. In fact, you can guess the schedule. The schedule will be as per the batch days, one, two, three, four, five, six. So six hours, four hours in the morning. For the first hour we will have slot one, the batch is starting with one, two, three, four like that. And there may be some movement because of the scheduling, but this will be roughly the thing. So students who come for Viva and their colleague coordinators or other active members will sit in that classroom. They will be called. Usually the pipeline process will be, they will be first called by a team which will collect all your diaries and examine the consolidated diary entry and compare the particular entry of that student. If they are convinced that things are okay, you will only have a brief meeting with me for one minute and after which I will say you can go. If they are not convinced, then the Viva may extend up to even 10 minutes or 15 minutes. So these two, this is the process that we will finish on. While I mentioned that it is quite likely that I will call weak students to examine this, it is not necessary. For example, if I notice that two students have been given 10 marks each, then I might call one of them to convince myself that the student indeed deserves to have 10 marks. It may so happen that the student himself or herself is the coordinator, which is okay, in which case that student should bring all the physical diet, but it is a must. Now, some people would have written these diary entries on a notebook. So I don't want notebooks to be submitted. What I want is the corresponding papers of the diary entry should be removed, should be stapled together for each student. Roll number should be written, of course. And for all seven students, this collection of pages should be brought. Because this is the physical diary against which I will or my staff will verify that the consolidated entries make sense. So is this clear? You may ask me as to why I am going through so much of firsts for 10 marks, which will ultimately get reduced to 5 marks because of the compression. But please note that this is the first time and probably the last time even in IIT, you would be doing a self-evaluation. Ordinarily, marks are given by others, you only give answers. So it is important that you understand the process of evaluation, the seriousness of that evaluation, and comply with that. I hope you agree with this process. The schedule of remaining examinations, project Viva for selected students Sunday, 13th November, end semester examination, Thursday, 24th November. I'm putting up the re-exam schedule. There is already one student who has broken his hand or something and has been advised bed rest for four weeks. So he has already given a medical certificate and said he won't be able to attend the end same exam now. So for him, the end same exam has to be the re-exam. Usually the re-exam is in the month of December. This year the senate has resolved that all re-examinations must be completed and the grades submitted to academic office by 21st of December. So I'm trying to keep this date as close to 21st as possible. And that is why this is Saturday the 17th November. Why I mention this date to this class is that in spite of your best efforts and in spite of my best efforts, there might still be some students who may not pass in this course. This has rarely happened in my courses. But every year there are one or two or three people who work so hard that all my efforts are useless. They still fail. In this particular batch, the number of such hard-working students appears to be more, so that is the reason why I stopped doing any additional things in this course and concentrated on the revision. If per chance it so happens that someone is not able to clear the course in the first attempt, there will be an exam on 17th. And although I have not written it here, I will announce it after the grades are declared. I propose to run a special boot camp for one week for such students from after the declaration of results that is around 4th of December to about 15th of December on some appointed day. So in case that becomes essential, I hope it does not become essential for any one of you. But these are the dates that should be given. Yeah, any question? Oh, I can't have a re-exam before the main exam, right? Very good point. Thank you so much. That would be a very anticipatory re-examination, 17 December, 2000. Thanks, thanks for pointing that out. This is the evaluation schedule, the assignments, including the make-up assignments have been evaluated. Unfortunately, my TAs could submit the assignment marks only yesterday. I had given them a deadline till yesterday evening, six o'clock. Did you get all of them? Good news from my staff. Out of 74 TAs, about 40 TAs have not yet submitted the marks. So they were supposed to submit the stage one marks and the assignment marks. There are some TAs who told me that they are still waiting for some of their students to complete the assignments, because I had asked them to give make-up assignments. You can see that one student can delay the processing for the entire batch because of this, okay? Anyway, I will now again send a mail to them saying, please submit whatever marks you have got and the stage one marks. Hopefully, I'll get them by tonight. So I should be able to upload them by Sunday morning. I should be able to look those. The updated mid-same and updated quiz marks have already been loaded. Project stage one and assignment marks will be loaded very shortly. I presume that the evaluation has been completed in the majority of cases. Wherever it remains, we'll do that. Why I emphasize this point? Ordinarily, all the in-semester marks should be known to you before you approach the end-same. Unfortunately, because of the long Diwali week, it was not really a week. Long Diwali, 10 days, holidays, the whole timetable has been reshuffled. As you know, the project stage two should have been completed and the marks would have been already allocated by the staff. Since this has not happened, there has been some delay. Accordingly, the consolidation of all marks cannot happen till Sunday night, okay? Technically, the last day of instructions for the institute is Monday the 14th. Although we don't have a lecture on 14th, we will ensure that all marks in their final form for the in-semester evaluation except project stage two are put up on the model so that you can cross-check. In any case, you should keep cross-checking your marks because that spreadsheet in a PDF form will be kept there, okay? In case of any discrepancy, I would expect to receive a mail as quickly as possible so that it can be corrected. The last chance for anybody to cross-check and request for correction would be the exam time because that is the time when we will all be meeting. But let us not delay it up to that point. Let us complete this portion earlier. The project stage two, this evaluation schedule ends on 21st November 2011. There is a reason for this. I have decided to evaluate project stage two myself for all projects. Unfortunately, I am going to US next week sometime. But fortunately in the United States, people don't work in the nights. So I will have a lot of free nights, about three free nights. I should be able to read all the project reports and give marks out of 50. This evaluation can be completed plus the two long flights to US and back. So this will be completed by 21st midnight. 21st midnight, I will be putting up the marks for the final stage. This will of course include your marks for project as well as marks for the self-evaluation marks moderated by by. The same paper evaluation is scheduled on 28th November. That is because the TAs are not free otherwise. The scrutiny of evaluated answer books can be done on 29th and 30th. I will put up a schedule for the scrutiny. Those people who want to come, they will not be distributed papers. There will be my staff there. You can examine your papers and as usual, if you have any observations, you will be given blank pages on which you can write your observations. On 1st, we will probably assemble a set of TAs available to look at those complaints and reevaluate if necessary. There is a group of students, first year chemistry. They are not here. Are they in this slot? No, they are in slot 11, I think. They are going for a one week camp in IISC Bangalore. So they are coming back on 1st of night. For them only, on 2nd December morning, we will have the scrutiny period. There are only about 25 or so students. So in case one or two of them have some observations, we will finish off the correction. And the final grades will be put up on 2nd December afternoon. That is also the time when the grades will be submitted online. So after I put them up, I usually give myself and the students a cooling period of about 12 hours. So since these will be displayed, I will call them draft grades. They will be displayed on Moodle, as also on the course page. So even if you have gone away, either you or you can ask a friend of yours to cross check the grade. If there is any last minute serious complaint that, for example, the total marks are not exactly as you think they should be, then you can even then send an email quickly. So I will personally look into that. The final grades will be submitted on 3rd, which is just one day prior to the last day. Re-exam paper evaluation will be on 17th itself because I do not expect, there is one student guaranteed to be there. I do not expect more than 2, 3, 4, whatever, small number, will complete the evaluation on the same day and keep the scrutiny for re-exam papers on 18th December. This time it is December and not November. Now we come to the most important part, the end same syllabus. As I have mentioned, this time I increase the pace slightly after covering the basic concepts and many students have mentioned to me that they were unable to cope up with that increased speeds. As a result, they were unable to understand even the detailed discussion on things like pointers, structures and files. While they were coping up with those and while they were trying to solve those problems, we started discussing classes, we also started discussing problems which use class functions and so on and they say that they have not been able to understand much of it. Now that the end same exam is approaching here, we do not have much time and therefore I have decided that class as a syllabus portion will not be included in the final exam. So, you do not have to worry about learning how to define member functions, how to use them, how to define constructors, destructors, whatever, whatever that is not part of the questioning report. However, there would be some of you who would have mastered the art of using classes. While solving programming problems which are given, if you so wish, you are most welcome to use classes including the standard C plus plus class libraries, there is absolutely no problem in that. However, it is not obligatory to do so. At least there would not be any question which will say define a class for doing this or something like that. There would be programming problems which could be solved using the conventional program, you do not need to use. Is that, is that okay? Now the structure of the end same paper. I have put a question mark to that structure. So I want your opinion. How many questions, easy, difficult, multiple choice questions in a final exam. That is very interesting. Fill in the blanks, that is all right. Let us discuss this seriously. One observation that most students have made is that my papers have been rather lengthy. They are not necessarily lengthy to solve but they are lengthy to understand. So you spend lot of time in reading the question, understanding it and by the time you are understood the clock has gone ahead. So if you feel such things about my paper, how will you solve real problems in life? People will always describe these, their problems in very long-handed way. You might have to read a file containing 200 pages which describes the situation and you have to give a decision tomorrow morning. You have to read and understand those 200 pages and nothing to do with programming. In programming context, if you are a professional, you might be given a code spanning thousand lines and you are supposed to understand it, correct the mistakes and make the corrected program run before the sun rises tomorrow morning. These are hard problems in life that you will be facing. So reading and understanding a question is important, should be done as quickly as possible. However, I do admit that during the exam stress, long questions do take time to read. Now I cannot change my questioning style. In programming problems that I will ask you to solve will necessarily relate to some realistic situation. Barring problems which will involve, let us say, summation of series or handling a two dimensional array containing some image pixels, etcetera, where the description could be short. If at all I am describing a problem which needs use of files, then I will have to describe the file format of the data. If the data pertains to a situation which has not been discussed in the class earlier, that situation will have to be described. In short, the way you handle your projects, for example, where in the project, if you have any information management requirement, you will spend at least two pages describing that requirement. So there is no shortcut to that. Instead what I have thought is that there will be some questions, particularly the file handling questions. Suppose I ask you to solve a problem which uses a binary file containing data which can be directly accessed and updated. The program writing may not be very difficult, but to understand what is to be done may not be easy. So it will take some time. So what I will do is, ordinarily you have large number of questions in a, you had a quiz paper and even the mid-same paper, I will reduce the total number of questions and I will ensure that the paper can definitely be solved in two hours, thirty minutes by people who can spend reasonable time in understanding and programming. Those who will take slightly longer will have an additional thirty minutes. Is that alright with you? So this time, since we have time, we will be setting up the questions, but I will be asking some of my own people to solve those problems, under oath of secrecy of course. And I will note how long they take to understand the problem and solve it. That is when we will be able to come to a judgment. So let us come back to the structure here. There would in all be about six questions, that is because you have a three hour paper, but it does not mean that you will have half an hour per question. You would still be required to solve some questions in ten to fifteen minutes. This time I will make sure that the questions are graded from simple to difficult in that question paper. So you do not have to unnecessarily scan the whole paper to find out which one is simple. The simplicity is not necessarily in solution. Sometimes understanding the question may be the more difficult part and you may have to spend more time doing that, after which writing the program may turn out to be simple, which is okay. At least one question will not be a multiple choice question, but it will have about five to eight parts of one mark each. I hope you have seen the pattern of the makeup quiz which has been put up on the moodle. The makeup quiz part one was essentially a multiple choice paper. This was a multiple choice question because A, B, C, D and E answers that were given were to be self-evaluated. Here there is no self-evaluation, so you are unlikely to have A, B, C, D, E choices. Instead you will be asked to write what exactly would be the output of that program or you would be asked to write some malicious statements in that program. So it will be these five to eight parts will examine whether you have understood simple concepts of expression evaluation, integer floating point, etc., etc., whether you have understood simple concepts of conditional execution, if then else, if else if, okay, or the switch statement, etc., whether you have understood the implications of different iterative control structures such as for, why, do why. So there will be small short program segments, invariably you will have to execute those program segments to figure out what is to be done. If there are expressions you might have to write C plus plus expressions. These will be the simple questions. These will amount to about eight marks, so I have said five to eight, there may be some parts which have two marks, there is some parts which have one mark, this will be the question mark. Overall I will be very surprised if this question takes more than ten minutes. Ordinarily some questions you could get in about fifteen to twenty seconds because you look at it and you will get it. Some questions you will have to execute, you will have to write on your rough sheet value of i, value of some, value of this and go through that. It may require a minute or two, overall it would not require more than ten minutes. But I will be allocating about fifteen minutes for this particular question. The next three questions will be actual programming problems. These programming problems will revolve again around some basic programming concepts that you have studied. What I have in mind, I will write it, if you say ok, we will go ahead with it, otherwise we can discuss that. Question two will require you to write a function and its usage. This is a standard problem. If you want to solve a particular problem, you have to, sometimes you are better off writing a function. This time you will be given a problem, you will be specifically asked to write a function definition and you will be asked to write a main program which uses that function appropriately in the context of that problem. Again I do not expect, this may therefore have part a, part b, but these will all be short parts. I do not expect you to take more than fifteen minutes to solve this problem. I would allocate anywhere between ten minutes to fifteen minutes to solve this problem. What it means is that before going to the exam should be very clear on how to write a function definition, should be very clear on how to function is to be invoked, what are the notions of parameter passing and so on, should be very clear. Question three will involve a numerical problem which will require you to use arrays. It could be arrays, which could be one dimensional or two dimensional and you will be required to do some computations that has been stated. This will be a programming problem. The problem statement itself is unlikely to be very large, but you will have to think about the right algorithm and write the problem, write the program correctly. I would expect this to take anywhere between twenty to thirty minutes. So you will notice that about half the paper you should be able to complete definitely within one hour. Question four will be on character strings, which have to be manipulated using arrays. There is a good question on string manipulation that I had given in the makeup quiz. Turned out to be a difficult question. I had discussed its solution. I am going to put up that solution in the Moodle today sometime, that set of slides as well as this solution. You can look at that, but you should be familiar with string manipulation. So every string which is terminated by backslash zero in the conventional sense, every string which has to be scanned, if you are extracting strings, how you should do it? In the discussion on the makeup quiz, I had emphasized the fact that while you can write a program, I have an issue looking at all character strings independently and individually, moving characters from here to there, scanning characters, etcetera, etcetera. It is far more useful if you are familiar with the standard string library and use the standard functions. I had indicated to you that you should read the functions and their description. Many people had not done that. I would suggest that you should read those things such as string copy. I had discussed a specific function called strtok or the tokenizer function. You will find that function extremely useful, particularly if you have comma delimited fields and you want to extract the field value. You can do that in one shot by a single small loop repeating cost to the tokenizer function. If you are not comfortable with that, you can use the conventional mechanism, but whichever way, there will be a programming problem which will need this. In five and question six, these are the two questions which will be what you call long questions. They will describe a situation. I think you are familiar with the kind of questions that I put together. I think first time you had seen the bank accounts related question, right? And then in the makeup exam, what question did I give? At Midsim did I give a long question? No. Sorry? Oh, the clicker responses and so on. The point is that in real life, there will be such situations and as programmers, you are not expected to know the exact situation in every domain of the world. You may not know anything about banking, you may not know anything about clickers, you may not know anything about insurance, you may not know anything about any kind of message and SMS messages. Most of you are familiar with SMS, you send messages, you receive messages. Do you know how these messages are internally stored? Do you know how these messages come to you via a central hub? Do you know the disk file format in which all these messages coming from anybody and going to anybody would be stored at the hub? You don't know that. So suppose we hypothesize saying that such would be the structure and say now extract the following information. That's an important programming problem, should be able to do that. So the question 6 and question 7 will relate to such a programming problem which will involve use of files, but it is not only about files. It is about setting a proper algorithm to extract data from those files, put them in variables and arrays if necessary, analyze that data, find out something and then report. So these two problems will be there of this problem, but we will stop at these two questions. It is quite likely that you may take one hour plus for these two questions. Don't think of these two questions as 30 minutes and 30 minutes. You must, there will be a single common description for question 5 and question 6. Reading that description will take time. Please do spend 15 minutes on just reading that description and jotting it down as to what exactly you have understood. Then read the programming problems and solve them. Believe me, the actual programs will not take more than 15 minutes each to write. The character string handling program again may take about 20 to 30 minutes. This is the reason why I said that overall you should be able to finish the paper in two and a half hours. The extra half an hour is to cross check whether you have to spend some more time somewhere you can do that. Is this structure fine with you then? Good. There may be some tweaking in this because I have not yet discussed it with the slot 11 people. They will come in the evening and I will discuss that with them. And I will finalize this. I will put these slides in the moodle but for this particular lecture while looking up also look at slot 11 lecture or maybe I will put just one session 23, the consolidation of both the slots. Because this describes whatever and it will be an open notes exam as usual. This is Convocation Hall exam. Last time there was a problem when we conducted the mid-same exam in Convocation Hall. Several students had forgotten their I cards. Now we have a couple of faculty colleagues in our midst who will be on invigilation duty who are very strict on these matters. I do not want any student to be inconvenienced. So please do not forget your I card when you come to the, also in spite of my repeated request, people keep coming at the last moment. The time for the exam do you remember 9.30 to 12.30. 9.30 does not mean that you leave your hostels at 9.20 and rush. I would expect all students to be in place by 9.15 or at the most 9.20. It is a large class. It causes a problem in conducting the exam otherwise. And please remember 9.30 to 12.30. There is a student who came to the lab half an hour late to that exam and claimed that he thought that the exam would start at that point in time. So I had no choice but to send him to my office, give him that paper separately and put a special invigilator for him there. Please avoid such problems on my part if you can. So please come there in time. Okay, so that is all I wanted to discuss. Any other observations that you have? Then I will just use 5 minutes to give my concluding remarks and we will close this. I must admit that in this course I made two mistakes. One was to speed up at a point where people were just getting comfortable with the basics. And that caused a lot of problems. I am sorry for that. Of course, that has happened. We cannot undo it. The second mistake is I did not realize the impact of Diwali this year. Believe me, in the last 40 years that I have been teaching here, I have never seen 10 days in which the campus had very little population left. Everybody had disappeared. There are some of you who tried to do some programming work for the projects from their homes. There are some I know who stayed back and did something but it was chaotic because in a group work a few individuals working does not make sense. It also meant that we had a huge discontinuity in our course discussion. And that is the reason why I say this is a mistake because typically towards the end you discuss more advanced concepts of the course and at least those of you who are extremely interested in doing hard programming problems are deprived of an opportunity to learn some advanced concepts for which again I am sorry. I hope this does not happen again. However, I will say this. I have seen that there are several amongst you who are really very good programmers. They not only have potential, they have actually honed their skills further. I would suggest to them that if possible they should continue further sharpening these skills. You will have enough opportunity in your own departmental courses and elsewhere to use those programming. The others who have understood programming but have not had an opportunity to solve real life problems I will again say the same thing. When you pass out of this course and go to the other courses in your own disciplines do try to look for problems which require good programming skills and you will find that you will be able to learn more from your domain and contribute significantly. There is no doubt in my mind that use of computers is only going to exponentially increase in our lives further. Are you familiar with the pace of the research and pace of development that is taking place? That pace is increasing. So we are actually accelerating. If you just consider the fantastic things that have happened in the last 20 years which had never happened in the earlier 100 years you can imagine how many fantastic things will happen in the next 20 years and all of you will be witnesses to that. What you have studied in this course is very preliminary, very basic. First hand exposure to the exciting world of computers. What you make of this and what you do with this is entirely dependent on it. And I think there are enough opportunities both within the institute in the remaining period of your stay as well as after you pass out. So all that I will say is all the best and thank you very much.


Many people don't realize that depression is actually one of the leading causes of disability worldwide and about a third of patients don't respond to current treatments. Mind altering drugs are already being used in the clinic. Ketamine is being prescribed off-labeled to treat depression and MDMA is entering phase three clinical trials to treat post-traumatic stress disorder. It's pretty obvious to me that it's important for us to understand exactly how these drugs are affecting the nervous system. One of the hallmarks of depression and anxiety disorders is the atrophy of neurons in a part of the brain called the prefrontal cortex, which tends to regulate fear and reward. Now a potential strategy for treating these diseases would be to use plasticity promoting molecules to promote the growth of these critical neurons. Some people think that treatment with a psychedelic drug is a lot like hitting the brain's reset button. Others think that these drugs facilitate psychotherapy by promoting an introspective state. What our group has found is that these drugs actually impact the structure of neurons. We think that psychedelic compounds and other plasticity promoting molecules that we refer to as psychopathogens can actually be used to rewire the brain into fixed pathological circuits. I think that these compounds offer the fastest path to finding effective therapies for these debilitating diseases, but eventually I see them being replaced by better next generation compounds that lack a lot of these side effects. The ultimate goal is to help people with mood and anxiety disorders. I think we need to use all of the tools in our arsenal, including psychedelics, to find a solution to this problem.


Broadway and you're doing a type-c adapter hello hello everyone okay this is I'm lady from Broadway very nervous now okay so right here this is using HDMI Ethernet yeah yeah this one is just just just this one with gigabit HDMI and two USB port for type-c connector so it's very useful it's good quality yeah for sure good quality no PD right no PD no PD but if you want to see PD items we have it over here this is a new PD hub from us and this one can charge your really charge your MacBook Pro and it support QC 3.0 also so fast charging fast charging yes and with adapter so you can connect and charge everything yeah so you can maybe leave your original Apple Dev at home and keep this one with you so what kind of price you have for this I like this one our MOQ is often like 1k and that the price for this one is 22 $22 you have one like that yes and this one this one this one go with a 12 4 and 5m adapter the price is around 22 also and then you have some different ones right yes smaller ones yes this like this one only 2 USB 3.0 port and an HDMI and that's cheaper right yeah this was going to be cheaper and the price is like 16 16 yeah all these types of product you have a good IC good IC technology is stable is stable it's a very stable solution now and it will not break the Macintosh right no no always good and what do you have there smaller one just to be a small and TD hub and it's lovely and then you have SD card SD card and it's CF also CF also what kind of price the price for this way is also cheaper like 11.5 and then we have here HDMI USB it's the same or well and here's also to USB yes this is a simple single how much for that 8 8 only internet all right so Broadway is doing more and more USB see PD smart charger yes how many ship every month like more than 20k no no no I think


Hello everyone this is Amit Dan of amitdan.com you're watching one of my New Zealand travel videos and today is my second day in New Zealand. I'm heading to the Waitomo Gloworm Caves and I'll show you the cave entrance and the underground Waitomo River after the exit. It was not allowed to video inside the caves that's why I'm unable to show you any glowworms with their luminescent light inside the caves. Sorry about that. New Zealand is a country in the southeastern Pacific Ocean made of two main islands North and South Islands. Thank you for watching this video forget about subscribing this channel forget about liking this video there'll be more videos coming up so I'll see you shortly


In this video, I'm going to share with you my favorite seven supplements for general health, immunity, well-being and energy. Hey friends, welcome back to my channel. My name is Greg and I'm an online entrepreneur creating content that will help you upgrade your brain and mind performance. So if those topics interested then subscribe below and join our amazing community. Let's talk about supplements that actually work and that can actually improve your well-being, your mood, your immunity and that kind of things. In this video, I'm going to share with you my favorite supplements. I'm going to tell you why I take them, when I take them and how you should take them to get the most out of them. And at the end of the video, I'm going to tell you which of those supplements should you take every single day. So if you're ready, let's just begin. Now, just before I share them with you, keep one thing in mind.  However, keep in mind that food nowadays is not as nutritious as it was before. We are under severe stress, we spend a little time outside. Then there are many different factors that influence our health, toxins from the environment, different stressors and that kind of things. And because of that, it is really important that if you really want to work on a super high level, if you want to be super healthy, it is recommended adding some of the supplements that we're going to talk about today to your daily regime. So which are those supplements? The first one is vitamin B12. Now, I take vitamin B12 every single day because it is simply crucial for healthy nerves and blood cells. Now, vitamin B12 is produced by bacteria and not by animals, as some people think.  So those animals are actually given a supplement of an unknown quality. And if I were you, I would prefer knowing about the quality of a supplement that I take. And if you can, of course, you take a high quality B12 vitamin and you're good with that. Now, the optimal daily dosage is between 100 micrograms to 250 micrograms per day. And I usually take vitamin B12 in the morning. If you want to learn more about it, there's a link up here. Just check out my video on that. Now, another vitamin that I want to talk about is vitamin D3. I also take vitamin D3 almost every single day because it is super important for mood, for well-being, and also for healthy bones. Now, our skin synthesizes vitamin D3 when it is exposed to sun. So if you spend a lot of time outside, but there are two problems with that. First of all, we nowadays spend so much time inside. And even when we go out, we are covered, we have sunglasses, we use sun creams, and that kind of stuff. And this is a bit problematic. And the second problem is that many people live at higher latitudes. And because of that, they have longer winters. And it's really hard for vitamin D3 to be produced during those winters, especially because there's so little sun. And also the sun rays do not come at the right angle to you. So the production of D3 is very limited then. And because of that, I definitely recommend supplementing vitamin D3. Now, the recommended dosage is between 1000 to 2000 international units. And I usually take vitamin D3 with food. Now, the next supplement that you should consider supplementing is or are probiotics. I've been taking probiotics for a very long time because they're super important for several different reasons. If you have diarrhea, they can help you with that. But also they can lower anxiety, stress, depression, and of course provide healthy bacteria in your gut system, which is directly connected to your brain. And because of that, I definitely recommend supplementing probiotics. Now currently, I take one pill per day, usually in the morning on an empty stomach. And this one has about 12 probiotic strains and 15 billion CFU. And CFU stands for count of life cultures. Now you can buy any other probiotic that you want. I just trust this one. And I really, really like it. By the way, guys, there are some links below in the description. If you want to know more about specific supplements, if you want to buy them, there are certain links below. So just check them out. The next one is a very interesting supplement. This is called Kualia Immune. Now I do not take Kualia Immune every single day. I take it now and then when I'm under severe stress for longer periods of time. Or for example, if I feel I could get sick, I go with Kualia Immune because it has about, well, what's that 15, 20 different high quality compounds. And in my opinion, it is one of the strongest immune supplements or supplements for immune support on the market. It has so many effective compounds. It's really hard to find a similar quality supplement. And yeah, I do not take it every day as I said before, but when I do take it, I take about four capsules with breakfast. Now, if you want to take any other supplements for immune support, that's good, but I trust this one. By the way, guys, if you like this video, please press the like button below and subscribe to my channel. I'll be super happy about it. Reishi is another supplement that I take quite often, and I take it because it is one of the strongest supplements for immune support. Now you can find Reishi Kualia Immune as well. A lower dosage about, I think 400 milligrams. Yep, that's correct. And I take additional amount. I take about one gram to one and a half grams per day of Reishi. It is a super potent compound, super potent mushroom that has been used in traditional medicine for a very long time. And I really, really like it. Since I've been taking Reishi, for example, I've never been sick, and I've been really, really well. So yeah, I definitely recommend this one. I take it in powder form, as I said before, about one gram per day. Then we have melatonin. Now, melatonin, in this case, it's a synthetic version of melatonin, is important for high quality sleep. Actually, it helps you regulate your sleep, and it also makes you fall asleep faster. So if you're under severe stress, if you had a bad day, if you're nervous, for example, then this is your life saver. Definitely recommend trying it out. It works really, really well. Now, I take it now and then, and when I take it, I take about two to three grams of this one. In this case, this is from Onit.  And I usually take it about five to 10 minutes before sleep. So the next supplement that I recommend taking is, well, anyway, the next supplement that I recommend taking is performance lap sleep. Sadly, I don't have it here right now, but performance lap sleep is my go-to sleep supplement that doesn't have synthetic melatonin. It only has a natural source of melatonin, but it has many other really effective compounds, including magnesium, for example. Now, I take it quite often, a couple of like two, three capsules per night, about one hour before sleep, and it really helps me fall asleep. And usually I sleep much, much better. So my deep sleep is longer, and I feel more refreshed in the morning. A great alternative to performance lap sleep that I have here is Kualia Night. That's from the same brand as Kualia Mune, obviously. But yeah, Kualia Night is more as a sleep support supplement. So it helps you achieve better sleep in general, but it doesn't make you sleepy or whatever. Whereas performance lap sleep is more as a sleeping pill or, yeah, well, it helps you fall asleep faster. And it has a bit stronger effects in my opinion. But both supplements are really, really good. And I do combine performance lap sleep with melatonin on then whenever I need to fall asleep faster. If you want to read more about performance lap sleep or other supplements, there are links up there. So just check it out. So which of those supplements do I recommend taking every single day? Definitely vitamin D3, take a higher dose in the winter and take a lower dose during summer, obviously. Then there's vitamin B12.  Then I do recommend taking probiotics every single day. They're so important, and it's really hard nowadays to keep your gut healthy. So that's why I take them every single day. And, alas, but not least, I do recommend taking Reishi every single day. And I take it because it is such a strong supplement for your immune system. I really, really love it. And I have such great results with it that I recommend to every single person. It's really so good.  There's a video up here. Check it out. I'm sure you're going to learn about some amazing supplements that will help you boost your brain power. Thanks for watching, guys. I hope you learned something new. Don't forget to follow your reception, subscribe below, and I hope this is soon again. Take care.
