So team keep it clean. What's going on, baby? I hope y'all doing real good on this Saturday morning. I'm recording this at 7.18 a.m. After this, I'm about to go on a run. I feel real refreshed right now. I really do. Yesterday, spent the whole day with the family and we have a lot of family days like all the time just because you see like a plethora of videos and a bunch of videos all the time. Me and the fam, we spend a lot of time together because I think that's super important. And whatever it is that you do for work, you got to take breaks.  You got to step away from it. You can't just be work mode 24-7 all day every day and that's it. You got to be able to take a breather from it. But I appreciated yesterday because I got the best sleep that I've gotten in. I don't even remember the last time I got sleep that good. That's why I feel so refreshed right now. Me talking about going on a run at 7.18 a.m. on any day, that's crazy. But anyway, I'm just really happy. I'm really grateful for y'all. I really appreciate the fact that y'all, the way that y'all support on here, but I appreciated even more when y'all support other people that we bring on. We had, of course, the video that y'all saw yesterday with Coach where he was really just breaking down everything about Todd Monk and a lot of stuff that I didn't know, a lot of stuff that other people may not have known, but Coach, he broke it down. But the fact that y'all not only supported that video but went over to his channel to go support him as well, that's special, and I appreciate that. So thank you for doing that. I always appreciate it when y'all do that, man. Whenever we bring somebody on, y'all go support them as well. That's real right there. So thank y'all for doing that. I gotta give a special shout out to the newest Team Keep It Clean Patrons because I haven't officially shouted them out yet. It's my god, Jai, King Cohen, and Justin C. So I appreciate y'all. Good shout out to all the Team Keep It Clean Patrons. Shout out to all the Team Keep It Clean channel members. Shout out to everybody that's just showing extra support for the channel because y'all go out of y'all way to do something that y'all really don't have to do. So that's what makes that even more special, the fact that it's not a requirement. So thank you for that. And just thank you for Team Keep It Clean as a whole. I really appreciate everything about all of y'all. I seriously do. It's nice seeing comments from a lot of the same people. It's nice seeing comments from new people too, but when you see comments from familiar names, it's like, okay, you sort of get to know their personality or at least their Ravens personality. When it comes to Raven stuff, how they feel about different things, good, bad, happy, sad, whatever it may be. But everything is done with respect. I appreciate y'all. I appreciate the fact that we can have a conversation. We can have a conversation and we may not agree, but I appreciate the ones that keep you respectful. Not everybody does that. And I know I had, I put this on Twitter yesterday, but I gotta say it here too. I know sometimes y'all probably get tired of hearing me say that, that I appreciate the ones that can have a conversation respectfully, whether we agree or disagree, but not everybody can do that. Being on this platform or whatever, I've had a lot of people make posts, make videos, make pictures, make this and that about me. In like a super negative way, a super disrespectful way. I've had it be done. I got one yesterday too. Somebody made either yesterday or the day before yesterday. They made one picture of me and this other content creator and I ain't gonna put him on blast because I don't know how he feels about it. I don't even know if he saw it, but I don't want to bring it to his attention. And I don't want to like, I don't want to kill his vibe because me, unfortunately, we used to that stuff already. We used to people just going out of their way to talk bad about us in a super negative way to speak ill, we used to that. So, but I don't know if he is. So, I'm not gonna shed light on who it was or whatnot because I don't want that being on him.  I ain't trying to do that, none of that. But when I saw that, I didn't even get mad. I didn't even get mad because they had a picture of me and him. They were like, oh, these guys are this and that and the third and da, da, da. Oh, okay, whatever. Like I always say, if you like what we do, if you like what we talk about, if you like the videos, hey, great, I appreciate it. If you don't, hey, great, I appreciate it. Just keep it moving. I'd never understood why people would go out of their way to talk bad about somebody else. If you don't like what they do or you don't like the way that they do it, let it be. Let it go. Why waste time in your day to go out of your, take your time? Because time is something you can't get back. And I know, like we spent a lot of time like talking about everything but Eric being to me. We're gonna get there in a little bit, but I guess this stuff just had to be said. Time is something that you can't get back. So why waste it hating on somebody else? Seriously, time is something that you can never get back. You can get back money. You can get back a car, a home, a job, this, that, but you cannot get time back. You can't. So why would you waste it being doing something so negative? Regardless of how you feel about this, regardless of how you feel about that, regardless of how you feel about him or her or whatever, why would you waste it like that? I just never understood that.   I ain't really like that. Then you go back and you try the third time and I'm like, okay, okay, that's cool. My sister-in-law, I was just talking to my wife about it last night. She was like, her sister, she said her sister said that you got, you gotta really try something three times to see if you really like it or dislike it. And I thought about it. I said, oh yeah, you know what, that's right.  The first time I tried it, I was like, Chipotle, nah, don't like it. Second time I tried it, I was like, oh, hold on, it ain't so bad. The third time I tried it, I was like, oh, okay, I love this, this is really good. So if I would have just went off that first time, I would have never had the plenty of experience that I had with Chipotle. But it's the same way with anything. So if you try something, like with a TV show, you try it, you first watch it, you're like, I don't like it. But I'm gonna give it another shot. I'm gonna be hearing a lot of buzz about this show or whatever, I'm gonna give it another shot. You try the second time.  Go ahead and try the third time. Okay, you know what, it's not for me.  Oh man, I hate this show so much. But still keep watching it.  It just doesn't make sense to me. So when people do stuff like that, and like I said, I'm used to it, so it don't faze me no more. It used to faze me a little bit, but it don't faze me no more. But when people do stuff like that, it's like, for what? What do you get out of that? So anyway, that was that. So, for every enemy, every enemy, again, again, that's, I say all that again to say that, that's why I appreciate when people, when we can talk about stuff, when we can disagree with stuff, if people, if they agree with something I say, if they disagree with something I say, cool, but it's done with respect. Don't go out of your way to do silly stuff like that. That's just, it's immature. And these are grown people, that's the one making worse. I've had it done by kids before, but it's grown people do it more. And it's like, really?  And it's like, really?  I can't call it man, I don't know what it is. But anyway, I love y'all. I love y'all. I really do. Eric B. Enemy, I gotta make sure I put timestamps on this video. Eric B. Enemy who had been a hot topic of a name for really the past three years.  We had heard he had been on a lot of different interviews and whatnot. But, and I brought it up before, I was like wondering like man, like why, what's going on? What happened with him? He is a Super Bowl champion, just dropped my phone. Super Bowl champion, before he was a one-time Super Bowl champion, he would still get all these interviews and stuff when nothing happened. And he was an offensive coordinator for the Chiefs. But now he's a two-time Super Bowl champion.  So what's up with Eric? And again, for him to be leading Patrick in the Homes and that offense, and even if I know some people might say, oh, well he had the best quarterback in the league, which he does, but still, it's been guys with worst quarterbacks that have gotten jobs. And I asked around about it and stuff. I asked around about it like, why is Eric being in me just not getting a job? I know one guy hit me up and he was like, oh, it's cause of his past. Cause he got some stuff to happen in his past. And that's the reason he ain't been getting a job. I see what you're saying, but at the same time, this is NFL. This is NFL. Like a lot of these dudes got a pass. A lot of these dudes got a current, a present. And they still be getting jobs left and right and keeping their jobs left and right. So Eric being in, and not that we excusing anything that happened in his past or really any of these people pass, but that's like, I couldn't buy that one.  I don't know about that one. Really a poor interviewer. After all these years, all these interviewers, I mean, excuse me, all these interviews and that a poor interviewer. Yeah. I don't know. But it's just been, like I said before in previous videos, it's been a weird dynamic with Eric being to me. But now he has finally accepted a job as, not just offensive coordinator.  So he is, that's like, all right now, I'm not Eric. And that's a, that's a nice little role because he gets a lot of things. He gets those two titles. He gets a pay raise. And he also gets something that he did not have at all in Kansas city. And I just read about this this morning because I did not know this at all. But in Kansas city, literally for every single season, these past five seasons, he has been on one year deals, five seasons in a row. He's been on one year deals. I thought it was just the past two seasons, but literally the past five seasons, he's been on one year deals. And the way that it was worded, was like, oh, well, that gave that gave him an opportunity to move on from the chiefs at any time. And then it does, it gave him an opportunity to leave after every year, but it kept resigning to one year deals. But at the same time, it also gives the chiefs an out. It gives them an out after every single year where it ain't, it ain't no more. It's like signing a player to five one year deals after every year. You can think about it, talk about it. Hey, if you want to play it back, cool. If you don't, if you don't want to play it back, all right, cool. No financial commitment. No, you know what? Take out the financial part too. No commitment at all. No commitment. And it's like, when you think about that, it's like, wow. Five one year, five one year deals, five. It's just, it's a weird dynamic. I don't know what it was, but it's just weird. But now he has a multi-year contract with the Washington commanders. And again, that's, that's something that he didn't have in KC. Now he'll be able to call plays all by himself. That's something that he didn't have in KC. And it's a shame that, again, yeah, he had to, he had to take a different route than a lot of people have had to take. He had to take a much different route to become, just to, to, to just become an offensive coordinator.  Yeah, assistant head coach. But he had to take, he had to go through all these hoops just become an offensive coordinator on another team. But now this should hopefully lead him to bigger and better opportunities in the future because he will be running a team, running the offense of a team that's going through some stuff. Again, they expect it to be sold any day now to who they end up being sold to, we'll see. But there's a possibility with him being assistant head coach, this thing could, it could go several different ways. If they are sold, say for instance, Ron Rivera, it just, he fails there. Or he might want to retire. I don't know. Whatever happens, if Ron Rivera doesn't work out for whatever reason, depending on new ownership and whatnot, they could see what Eric did on his side of the ball and they could be like, you know what? We think you would be a good fit to be our next head coach. Let's do it. Let's do it. Or on the flip side, if they could be like on the new ownership and whatnot, they could be like, oh, no, no, no, thanks. No, thanks. We don't want to move forward with you. So it's a big risk. It's a big risk, but at the same time with him having that multi-year deal, he has financial security now for however it goes. Whether it goes good, a great hope, hope that it does go good. But if it goes bad, it's not a one year deal now. It's not where, all right, well, it went bad. Well, your contract to be up, then you can go wherever you want. No, they gotta take care of him still because he got a multi-year deal. I gotta see exactly how many years it is, but it ain't no one year thing no more. So that's dead. The one year deal thing is dead. So shout out to Eric being to me for that. I'm happy for him. And I really am interested to see where this goes. I know I talked to a lot of Ravens fans. Once this news came official, and we would have talked about this yesterday, but like I said, we was out all day yesterday. Me and the family, but I talked to a lot of Ravens fans. They did a lot of syndiems. And they were like, man, we could have had Eric be in me. I saw some people feel like they, the Raven settled for Todd Munkin and whatnot, but anyway, with Eric being to me, I just wonder, cause it's a lot of stuff that we just will never know. We'll never know the conversations that he had with the Ravens, but I wonder if it was a, if it was a power issue. I wonder if, when he spoke to teams, if, excuse me, I wonder if he told them like, hey, this is not my last stop. This is not going to be my final place of work. I'm not just gonna be in somebody's offensive coordinator and that's it. I need more. I need it to be more. I want to be in a head coach. That's what I'm aiming for. So what do I need to do to get there? How are you going to help me get there? Because when you go on a job interview, it is about how you can help this company. It's about what you can do at this company. You want this company to hire you for whatever the position is, but at the same time, companies really do appreciate when you not necessarily challenge them, but when you ask questions too, cause that can show you doing your research. That can show that you really are a motivated individual who really wants to move up in that company. It's like, hey, what can you guys do for me? What is your, what kind of program do you have to so I can climb that ladder of success, so to speak? Companies appreciate that. Hiring managers appreciate that. So with Eric B. Enemy, I wonder, again, we didn't hear anything, anything like that, but I wonder if that was something that sort of impeded him becoming Raven's offensive quote. If they even talk, I don't even know if they talked. So I don't know. I'm not, I'm not sure what even happened with that. They obviously didn't interview him, but I don't even know if they even like talked in the first place to get things started. Like they talked to Cliff Kingsbury. So, and who knows, maybe Cliff Kingsbury would join the staff or something as a quarterback's coach as well. I see, cause you know Raven's offensive staff is not done being put together. They finished. But I just, a lot of times when you think of something before it happens, like with Eric B. Enemy, we had a lot of conversations and thoughts about him possibly joining the Ravens, what it could be like, and da-da-da-da. So we've been thinking about it for a while, but now it obviously isn't happening. So then you think about, hmm, what happened to where, what was the reason why it didn't happen? What were some reasons why it didn't happen? And we, again, there's some stuff we will never know, but at the same time, we can try to put little pieces together here and there from what he did get with Washington, what did happen with Washington. So anyway, thank you, Big Clean. I appreciate y'all. I love y'all so much. And again, like I always say, thank you. Thank you. I appreciate everything that you all do. I appreciate who you all are as people.  And I can get you upset now. Like, roll rage is real, man. I can get you upset. I can get you heated, but there's that saying, don't let a bad 24 seconds ruin 24 hours. And then there's been sayings too, where I've seen where people who have been locked up for one thing or another, but they'll be like, man, if I could just go back, I let one bad confrontation or something like that ruin my life or change my life for the worse. Just like that. And it's tough, because again, we got emotions with people, we got feelings and all that, but don't let bad people ruin your good day. So I love y'all, I appreciate y'all. And like Eric being to me is when it comes to being with Kansas City, we out.


We're here in the ITU studio and I'm very pleased to be joined by Mr. Marius Catalan-Marinescu, who is president of ANCOM and is council chairman for 2013. Mr. Marinescu, thank you very much indeed for being with us today. Thank you for your invitation. I'd like to start off by asking you about the ITU council 2013 and what you think needs to be done this year. We should deliver, we should finalize and approve all the documents proposed in the agenda on time. There are some maybe sensitive documents. If we are looking that the budget for the next three years will be approved in this council. That's why maybe some days we'll have late evening meetings, but this is not unusual in the council. Are there any particular themes that you think will be specifically addressing? We have many documents because we have reports after all the conferences that took place last year. We have documents of position in some of the teams that the ITU is interested in, like child protection on internet, like climate change, some other as well. But as I told you, I think it's the most important thing will be the budget, then the organization of the plan report that will take place next year. Looking forward to 2014, what are your hopes for the plan report 2014? In the plan report will be decided the future of ITU and we are speaking about the constitution. We are speaking about the convention and at this moment we don't know if the convention will be a document of ITU or it will be transformed in a different document. We'll have the strategic and financial plan for the next period of ITU and for sure it will be chosen, it will be decided to be the most important strategic direction where ITU will work. Romania is a member of the ITU. Why is membership important for Romania? Romania is a member of ITU since 1866. It is the first year when ITU was founded. It is not a founder. During the time we are very active and I may tell you that a few years ago what is called today the administrative committee was chaired by Romanian and we have other technical specialists that are working in different groups in ITU. It is very important for Romania because we learn from others' experience here. We have a contribution. We share our experience with other countries and I think it's a very good place where you can influence the development of the telecommunication or you can learn what will be the direction of development in telecommunication and you can react in your country consequently. What is Romania's vision for the future for telecommunications? I think integration will be one of the most important things in the future. Integration between content providers, between telecom and media and between telecom and other like energy in infrastructure. Who will understand exactly what will happen? It will be the one that will lead all this transformation. Thank you very much indeed for being with us today. Thank you very much as well.


I didn't give you a recap last month of my auditions and it was partially because I didn't get that many but I thought I should tell you why I didn't get that many and when I don't get that many auditions because that does happen. Welcome to this week's vlog! Four of the auditions were voiceover from my agency and then one of them was for a tech company in New Bay Area that does videos for their products and then I did book a job but I didn't have to audition for it which was nice but it was for somebody that I worked with previously and I just wanted to tell you like sometimes you don't get that many auditions so this month was one of those times. I am a little upset that that happened because I should have concentrated more on self-submissions but I also got a meeting with an agency this month which of course is really great because I've been working at it a lot. I self-submitted the first week of September and then after that I pretty much stopped because I was featured on YouTube in September so in my head I was like oh let me make sure that I am making good videos and you make sure that I'm publishing all of the time and I also got more into editing videos more creatively and so that's why I didn't self-submit very much. And another thing that I focused on a lot this month was submitting to agencies and doing tons of research. When I do research for an agent like right now I am trying to get an agent in LA at the atrical agent specifically. I usually start on IMDbPro and I look up a show or an actor and then that puts me in a you know in a research hole of seeing what other clients they have what films they've worked on what relationships they have and sometimes I can sit down and do research for an hour and then at the end of it realize that that agent doesn't accept any unsolicited emails or letters or whatever like you have to have a referral in order for them to even consider you or they would have to approach you. So the ones I'm doing of course are the ones that accept emails and this past month I submitted to two or three agents and one of them did contact me back saying that they were interested in representing me in all of California which meant if I signed with them I would have to drop MDT in San Francisco who is my current agency and I was like okay well if they can get me more opportunities or the same as MDT in San Francisco and then on top of that also LA and all of California then I'd be willing to. So I set up a call with them and during the call I essentially told them that I said what relationships do you have in the San Francisco Bay Area because I do get some work from my current agency MDT and I'd be willing to drop them if you could get me the same or more opportunities in San Francisco because I do want to continue to work out of LA and San Francisco so I don't want to drop MDT if they're not ever going to get me any jobs you know in San Francisco. So I asked them do you have good relationships with any particular casting offices in the San Francisco Bay Area and I because I've auditioned for all of these casting offices for a while now I was expecting to just you know hear a familiar name and be like okay cool they do know about the San Francisco market but no they weren't able to tell me that they had a good relationship with a single casting office in San Francisco so I took that as a not so great sign because why would you want to represent me in all of California if you don't actually have any relationships in the San Francisco Bay Area and also with this office like you weren't ever allowed to get your own jobs anytime you had an opportunity you had to immediately send the contract and all the information to the agency and they would handle that which I do not like because I do like to get my own work and sometimes there are smaller projects passion projects and I don't want to have to go through the agency in order for me to work so I said thank you so much I'm going to continue looking then because I do want to keep working in both places so um yeah I don't have too much to update you on and uh the holiday season is coming which means that there's going to be a lot less things filming of course during the holidays and right before the holiday so um I'm at Trader Joe's now because um all day today I've been feeling like nothing sounds fun it just feels weird I used to have these days all of the time last winter and I feel like because fall is coming this is what it's feeling like but I came to Trader Joe's and I bought these pumpkin spice batons it's like white chocolate with pumpkin spice it's really good this is waking me up a little bit but um thank you so much for watching especially if you're still watching at this point thank you so much and um next week's next week's vlog will definitely be different


So welcome everyone to the session challenges in testing social networks by Anna Baza. We are glad they can join us today. So without further delay over to you Anna. Hi, welcome everyone. Yes, so I've been wondering if you if you ever have been asked, can you integrate the automated UI test into into cloud can we do it a part of the pipeline. And I was like yeah I got this you know everything works locally and we can integrate it. And then the reality was kind of brutal when when everything went into cloud, everything start to falling apart. So basically, the whole presentation today will be about my journey of challenges in testing the social network. But before we dive into that, I would like to introduce myself and tell a bit about what I'm doing. So I'm lead productivity engineer at wolf. I'm also a admin design lead and a project manager at Anita be open source. I've been finalist in woman in tech excellence hours, three times as a digital leader of the year for diversity and includes inclusion initiative of the year, and as a hero of the year. I'm also a senior member of I triple triple E. I'm a bit about the words online festival. The app which we are doing is actually audio stage social network where you can jump into stage you can you can share your show you can share your music you can, you can sing you can do the stand up you can be a Canadian. But on top of that, we got a social network connected to the stage, and the people can interact they can react on your on your entertainment presentation or whatever you're doing there they can comment it they can talk to each other. With the social network, there is a plenty of plenty challenges when it comes to you I testing. We identify few of them. So one of them is parallel testing with unique credential so if you can easy imagine if I write my test and I got unique user credentials baked into the tests, then if I run them parallel as in a in a several devices in a cloud. It might clash with each other. The interaction wouldn't be be good. Sometimes we get like arrow, you sign up, sign on somewhere else. Another challenge which we identify at wolf was testing event based behavior so events are the type of actions which are not done by the user itself, but rather but by other users or bots like I would like to test it. Talking to me does the does the message is displaying correctly. If I'm getting 100 messages do I get the batch with the proper number and things like that. The other thing which we identified as a challenge was a testing huge events, and this is. This is very interesting because the testing huge events is a very intense communication between between client and a server there's lots of going on loads of messages appearing and testing it is is kind of kind of a challenge but also manual test doesn't really we can't really replicate this kind of things in manual testing so if something happened on a huge event. It's important that we can we can identify the issue so so someone could fix it. And then the last thing what I will be talking about is testing unique base scenario so the things which are happening in our applications just once like whenever I'm registering with associated account like Facebook or Google. And I would like. I don't want to create the new account every single time I run the test because it's impossible so I will be talking how did we solve those issues at wolf. Now. This challenge testing unique user credentials so whenever I'm registering sorry. Whenever I'm logging in as a user I don't want to conflict with other running tests at the same time. What we did actually we build our own testing farm and this the building on testing farm gives gives us amazing flexibility that we could actually run a self hosted agents and assign a single agent to the single device. And then in the in the environment, we could encapsulate that this single device got a single credentials. So, so we actually our, our tests whenever they are assigned it to the agent and device they running in parole but they do not conflict with each other because the users are different. Challenge number two testing unique scenarios so whenever I want to register myself with associated account. But before we dive into that I need to do a slide recap of what is client server architecture in a nutshell. So, we generally in a client server we use two types of the communication, we used restful API, which are just simple client, which is our app is asking something to the server, and a server is giving the response to that request. Another type of the communication is a socket socket subscription. So the client is subscribing to specific socket, and it says I will be listening if something happening on that socket so from that moment on that the connection is established directly between client and a server. The server can can send the messages directly to the socket, but then the client is actually capturing the messages. So the idea for that is just before because when we, when we have apps like, like chat. We would like to see exact moment when other users are writing something or they, they published something. And in terms of that we don't want to ask the server every 100 milliseconds to get the same user experience. Is anything new on that chat or any other chat. That would very quickly overflow our servers, especially we has, we have at Wolf we have already passed million users so million users 100 times times 10 times at the second that 10 million 10 million request every every second that's just too much. So, generally, this to communication will will required the further understanding of what we've done in terms of our testing. So, what we've done on our self hosted computers, we actually mounted a proxy, and our automation system is building a client, and it says, hey, instead of connecting to the server, you will be connecting to the proxy. And a proxy is a is a kind of a server which actually is just the middle part between the connection to the real server. So the client is sending the request to the proxy proxy is sending request to the server, and then the response is back to the proxy and a proxy is giving back the response to the client. And thanks to that, we can actually record whatever has been whatever communication has been has been done between the client and a server and we can store it we can encapsulated specific test. And thanks to that, we can replay the unique scenario of user registering as a with the associated account without actually bothering the server asking if that user exist or not, because we got whole communication with a request and a responses. So we can just reuse it. This, the third challenge, which we have identified is testing event based scenarios and an event based scenarios is like I said earlier is just receiving the messages from other users or likes or any other interactions which comes from other users and we want to see it constantly. And this is the one which which goes through the socket subscription. So, again, we did the same pattern, we said this at this time, we said that that actually server is the proxy is listening to the server and a client is listening to the proxy. So whenever server is sending the event that someone has sent the message to our chat which we are listening, the proxy would listen to that and then we send it to client, and then we can store that that the message that the event has been has been sent and then whenever we want it, we can just reuse it. So in that, in that case, when I think about the user case of the test itself, it's, I'm logging in, obviously I'm going navigating to the specific chat, and then I'm asking from from the actual Appium code, I'm asking the proxy to fire a very specific event and this event is read from the local but database and it's fired directly to the client. In that case, we are encapsulating receiving the messages in a way that this, this very device is receiving the messages but no one else in the world because it doesn't actually happening on a on a real server. It just, we just really pretend this environment of the server. And the challenge number four, testing huge events. That one is, is generally very, very complicated. It's much complicated than, than what we seem before, because we would. We would register everything. All the requests and responses so all the restful API's would be would go through proxy and all the events would go through proxy and everything would be stored in a, in a persistent database. So, so we can reuse it when we need to, but because those events, they actually happening in a in sort of synchronized manner so the user have to be in a specific chat to receive the specific messages. This has to be reviewed very, very carefully so we could actually replay that on an Appium. And whenever all that work is done, and everything is good, you know, the working established the test are passing it's great. We having a real, real value of what we've done, then everything starts over again, because someone changed the UI. And I believe many of you have been in that position that UI has changed and we need to write the tests again. That's it from me. Thank you very much. And I would like to listen if there are any questions. We have one question from Anand. He's asking how is this proxy implemented. Right, so for proxy. I've used Node.js JavaScript, obviously, and I've used MongoDB as a persistent database storage. I use Express for the server. I use circuit.io for the listening to the specific circuit and firing the events. And that's pretty much it. Okay, there's one more question. How often do you have to update the recorded request or response data? Yes, that's a very valid question. So it depends on what test we are doing. Some of the communications, they do have timestamps. And when it does have timestamps, we need to record it quite often. Usually, we're aiming to record once a week, but some of the events are actually pre-recorded and then reused because they are unique. So we don't re-record them ever. They are like a static part of the system. Okay, and Kamal wants to know if there is any sample code available? Sample code. Well, we do not have public repository, but what would you be interested in? Is it a proxy or the communication between the proxy and an apium? What would that be interesting? Kamal, could you elaborate what is the need? Okay, so for communication between the proxy and the apium, we are using, for our test, we are using C-sharp. And the communication is a simple RESTful API connection. So I'm just, instead of asking somewhere else, on the proxy level, on the device I'm asking, hey, can you give me local host's message and then whatever the details of the message or event and the details of the event. And then our server got the endpoints, which actually listen to that request and if it is. Right, maybe a bit of recap how we're doing it. So for every single device, there's a single proxy and a single apium server running. So the apium is connecting directly to specific proxy asking, hey, can you send the message XYZ or event XYZ and then the proxy checking the database and sending the event XYZ. That's how it's done. I'd just like to take a moment and thank you, Anna, for a wonderful session. Thank you, Anna. Thank you.


Right now we're getting ready to do our ready jump from a more right to the Shriners Hospital of Lexington so all the bikes are coming in kickstands up at 10 o'clock so we've got a few more minutes to get this thing to roll. We've got a little mission this year we need to make $72,000. If we do that that'll make us a half a million dollars we've done in 11 years. We also have a little toy drive and in past 10 years we've taken over 44,000 toys to the hospital. This year we want to do another 6,000 that will make us 50,000 toys. $10 value on the toys that's a half a million dollars in toys a half a million dollars in money. I think Kibble the Christmas in July has just joined the million dollar clip.


A key human capacity is our ability to experience emotions and to talk about them to express them a subjectivity. As a psychiatrist, this is one of the core capacities that I rely on every single day. In fact, the very definitions we use for psychiatric disorders are based on the subjective. So my job then to try to heal people and help ameliorate their distress, people with emotional disorders like depression or anxiety, is to try to understand and help them understand their emotions and work with that. The problem has been, however, as I'll show you in a minute, that psychiatry is at a standstill. Our ability to do anything about that, the suffering that we recognize, is very limited. So I'm going to invite you in the next little bit to rethink psychiatry with me, but hold on to that thread of subjectivity because we'll need that later. This story is going to start almost 30 years ago in 1987. So before we start the story, let me give you context. 1987 was an interesting year. Stock market crash. Black Monday happened. Madonna started reaching the peak of her career and we saw movies like Fatal Attraction. In fact, it was actually a very good year for Michael Douglas. He had another movie that echoed events of the day. But another very interesting thing happened in 1987 in the biomedical space. EZT was introduced. It was the first drug approved for HIV, as well as Prozac. Prozac's not the first drug for depression, but it was the first in a new series or new class of drugs called SSRIs or Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors. So where are we now in these two conditions? Well, HIV can actually be managed successfully and people live pretty normal lives now. Depression, it's a different story. Morbidity and the mortality associated with any mental illness, depression just being one example, has not changed over all of these decades. So let's start to think about why and what that means. Well, the first of which is what does it mean that it doesn't change? What are the effects of depression, anxiety, schizophrenia, bipolar, what have you, not changing? This graph shows, this is from the World Economic Forum. It goes by 2030, a mere 15 years from now. The economic toll the non-communicable diseases are going to take. And as you can see, here we have cancer, cardiovascular disease, all things we think a lot about, diabetes. The cost is dwarfed by the cost associated with mental illness. And this bar right here, COPD, that's due in large part to smoking and pollution. If you decrease those, the bar goes way down. So mental illness overwhelms in terms of economic impact and personal impact, any other chronic disease, and yet we've not moved the bar. How do we diagnose mental illness? I mentioned any psychiatric disorder is defined by subjective report of that person. And we define it based on a checklist. And not just any checklist, a checklist you can meet any number of ways. So depression, you have to have five out of nine criteria. Post-traumatic stress disorder can be diagnosed in 600,000 different ways, all with that same disorder. That to me doesn't sound like biology, that's very descriptive and distant. So what if we start using biology, let's say brain imaging scans that we would be doing a lot of in the lab, to try to ask questions about the brain basis of mental illness. Well we did that recently, we found something very interesting. There are 300 plus psychiatric disorders in the Diagnostic Manual in the United States. And then we said, well maybe simply having a psychiatric disorder is in being distressed, not being able to understand and experience your emotion, not being able to deal with, put labels, words to your emotion, not being able to regulate your emotions, as well as all the other things that come with psychiatric disorders. Maybe they take a toll on the brain that underlies or belies this diagnostic criteria that might suggest different disorders, but in fact there may be at least a common thread, not necessarily the only thread, and that's what we found. What I'm showing you here is a brain section with little blobs on it that show where across all psychiatric disorders there is decrease in gray matter or brain tissue. I'll come back to what this means in a second. Then we said, you know, maybe that's just one way to kind of look at the data, let's look at how people engage their brains in tasks and do the exact same thing, all psychiatric disorders, and you might think I'm actually showing you the same picture, it's not, slightly different, but it tells the same story, which is when you start looking at the brain you get very surprising answers. In this case, it's three regions here and three regions there that are the same three regions that are abnormal across all psychiatric disorders, and guess what, they're not three random regions, they actually form a circuit, an interconnected circuit that we understand quite well.  The brain is made of many circuits. This isn't a picture here of wires interconnecting different parts of the brain in different colors. What you see here is brain activity unfolding over those circuits, and however you want to look at these things, well, it's sort of a map, right? You can start thinking about where in the brain you might go and where it might be connected to, but what kind of tool would you want to use to start to address questions related to circuits? Let me introduce you to one called transcranial magnetic stimulation or TMS. It is an electromagnet placed outside the head that noninvasively turns on or off little bits of brain underneath. Our brain is an excitable organ, and so we're using an electromagnet to talk to an excitable organ. There are wires there that I just showed you. And so you take a TMS coil like this, you stimulate a part of the brain that's interconnected to some other parts of the brain, and you can see activity evolve in the brain. And I'll show you examples in a second over time. So it's a way of interrogating circuits. It's also a way of manipulating circuits. So this image that I've shown you here is not just a pretty cool-looking brain that you might want to put on a wall just as a piece of art. These are different networks in the brain that you can see in every single person, and they're very much the same or at least highly similar between people. So looking at this, that's a nice picture, but what does it tell us? Fortunately with brain imaging, it's a story that we tell when we take pictures. When you start to intervene with circuits, you get what I call the causal connectome. You get information about cause and effect in brain circuits. So for example, you stimulate one part of the brain and you see activity evolve in yellow here over time. Stimulate another part of the brain and this goes on. We're going to stimulate all these regions at the same time and look at the patterns. These patterns as a loop playing is 120 millisecond, a fraction of a second in brain time that's playing out when I stimulate a bit of the brain. What should become readily apparent to you in looking at this is the patterns aren't all the same. The pattern depends on where you stimulate. So if you want to reach one part of the brain or another, you want to know where to go. So now we have a map, we have tools to start to manipulate this, and you can start thinking like this is great. We can now think of modulating these circuits. The trick is finding the right circuit to modulate to get you the effects you want. So I'm going to argue that this is not pie in the sky, this is actually happening right now. And I'll give you an example in a second.  Our job on the one hand is to build tools and know how to use them to manipulate those circuits better but then appreciate the brains are really complicated interconnected place and so we have to really start to untangle this even as we build tools that allow us to go much deeper and more precisely in the brain than we ever could before. The reason I'm saying it's not pie in the sky is I'm going to give you a very concrete example coming into the lab right now that speaks to this issue of understanding, labeling and regulating your emotion. The amygdala, this is a monkey brain. The amygdala is a region deep in the brain that cannot currently be reached by TMS. But it's a region that's very important for a lot of our emotional experiences whether they be fear, happy, sad, all these sorts of emotions that are critical to psychiatric disorders. And so we looked at this study in monkeys and notice that there's this little area labeled L12 this colored area that actually sends projections down to the monkey amygdala. This area has never been stimulated in humans before and we don't know what it does. So we said let's use our TMS tools while we do brain imaging turn on this area which you can see on somebody's head right there. So we stimulate and then see what happens. Well, it turns out when you stimulate this region in healthy people you inhibit or turn down activity in the amygdala and that's what you can see in the cool colors up there is the amygdala turning down. We then took patients in this case with post-traumatic stress disorder who are unable to regulate their emotions did the same thing and nothing happened. So we identified a causal pathway to the amygdala that's never been targeted before that's abnormal in these patients and then when you disrupt this pathway in healthy people guess what happens? They're unable to label and put words on emotions. So it starts to give us a completely new perspective on how to use the circuit approach to interact with the subjective component. So what does psychiatry look like in the future? Well, psychiatry I don't think is going to be one thing. It's going to look something like this. We interact with patients and we do maybe psychotherapy or maybe we talk to them we engage that subjective sense. So now we're taking that thread and we're going to try to weave it back into this tapestry. We then engage brain circuitry in a targeted way now much more intelligently understanding how their brain circuitry underlies these subjective experiences. And you know what? Let's just throw something else in. Let's throw medication in. Maybe that medication is targeted towards making the brain changes that we're inducing by stimulating last longer. It's a very different psychiatry than what we have now. This is psychiatry meeting the patient, honoring their subjective experience, leveraging tools to understand their brain and modulate their brain at the same time so it's no longer stuck hopefully in the way that it's been stuck before and hopefully be better for all of us going forward. Thank you very much.


Hello, this is the third in a sequence of videos to help with critical thinking and this video is going to be all about assumptions. Now, first of all, it's very important to understand that the word assumption is used with the precise technical meaning in critical thinking that differs from the way it's used in ordinary speech. In critical thinking, an assumption is a missing reason. It's something that hasn't been said. But at the same time, an assumption is something that's needed for an argument to work. Now, if you think about this, this is different from the way people usually use the word. Normally, by an assumption, people mean something that they're taking for granted, but it could well be something that they've actually said. In critical thinking, we use the word assumption to talk about something that's missing, but that would have to be true or else the argument doesn't work. So it's something that the author must believe, but that they haven't said. And you can see from that definition that assumptions are going to be something that's really interesting in an argument because assumptions have to be true for the argument to work. And so therefore, if they're not true, the argument falls apart. At the same time, there's something that hasn't been said, and so perhaps the author hasn't really thought about them. So by thinking about assumptions, we're thinking about things that the author hasn't really considered, but which are very important because whether they're true or false has a big effect on the argument. Okay, now in order to explain a bit more about what I mean by assumptions, we're going to think a little bit about polar bears. Okay, now here's a very simple argument that I'd like to think about. The argument says Mr. Nickel needs to watch out. There's a polar bear behind him. So this is a really simple argument. It's got a conclusion. I need to watch out for the reason there's a polar bear behind me. But I'd like to see if you can think of something that's assumed here, something that hasn't been said, but that would have to be true if we're going to be able to say that I need to watch out. So I suggest you pause the video for a bit and try to think of something that's assumed here. Okay, well one thing that would mean I don't really need to watch out is if there's a big glass wall between me and the polar bear, for example if the polar bear is actually in an aquarium. So an assumption is that there isn't a big thick wall between me and the polar bear. That hasn't been said, but it needs to be true otherwise I don't need to watch out. Another thing that would mean I don't need to watch out is if it's just a baby polar bear that's sort of half asleep. So another assumption is that the polar bear isn't a baby. Again, that's something that hasn't been said, but it needs to be true otherwise the argument doesn't work. We can't say that I need to watch out. It's assumed that the polar bear is close behind me. Of course if I stand facing in a certain direction then I've got my back to the north pole and there will be plenty of polar bears behind me a long way off in Svalbard, but I don't need to watch out. So we need to assume that the polar bear is close behind me. We're assuming that the polar bear isn't a cowardly polar bear that's afraid of me because if the polar bear were afraid of me then obviously I wouldn't need to watch out. It'll probably run away. You have to assume that it's a real polar bear because obviously if it's just a stuffed toy polar bear then I don't need to watch out. We're assuming that the polar bear is alive because again if it's dead there's no need to watch out. We're assuming that it's not a stuffed polar bear inside a glass cage. We're assuming that I'm not being protected by some men with a massive gun ready to take down the polar bear in case it gets too close to me.  And finally this picture isn't meant to correlate with an assumption it's just a nice picture of polar bears. So I hope that gives you the sense of what assumptions are. Just to remind you they're missing reasons things which nobody has said. But on the other hand they're needed for the argument to work. If they weren't true then the argument would fall apart. Now there's actually a really good test to make sure whether something is assumed or not and that's called the negative test. First of all I need to say what I mean by the negative of a statement. You negate a statement by writing it's not the case that in front of it or it's not true that at the start. And now the negative test works like this. The negative of an assumption prevents the conclusion from being drawn it ruins the argument. So if you take an assumption and you negate it it destroys the argument. And that's how you know that the original thing was an assumption. Let's look at an example of this. Before we were looking at polar bears now let's look at gorillas. Here's an argument about gorillas. Gorillas are highly endangered so we should try to save them. Okay now it might be a good idea to pause the video again and try to think of some assumptions that that argument makes. Okay well here's a couple of possible assumptions. First of all saving gorillas is desirable. And secondly we should try to save all endangered species. So let's test these one at a time using the negative test. First of all let's focus on saving gorillas is desirable. The first step in the test is to negate that. So we would say it's not the case that saving gorillas is desirable. And we can simplify that to just saving gorillas is not desirable. Now we combine that with the original argument to get something like this. Gorillas are highly endangered saving gorillas is not desirable but we should try to save them. And I hope you'll agree that that's ridiculous that doesn't make any sense at all. If saving gorillas isn't desirable then the fact that they're highly endangered doesn't mean we should try to save them. In fact if saving gorillas is undesirable we certainly shouldn't try to save them. So that argument makes no sense at all. The negative of that assumption destroyed the argument. And that means that the original statement is an assumption. It is something that needs to be true for the argument to work. We've just seen that if it were false the argument wouldn't work. Okay so that is an assumption. Let's think about the other possibility though. We should try to save all endangered species. Let's look at the negative of that. So we would negate that by saying it's not the case that we should try to save all endangered species. Or more simply we don't have to save all endangered species. Let's put that with the original argument to make a new one. Gorillas are highly endangered. We don't have to save all endangered species but we should try to save gorillas. Now I hope you'll agree that that does make sense. We can maintain that gorillas are highly endangered and we should try to save them without committing ourselves to the view that all endangered species must be saved. So I can perfectly well say yes we don't have to save all of them but we do have to save gorillas. Probably I should carry on and explain why. Why is it that gorillas are special and they need to be saved whereas other animals don't need to be saved. But what I've said here is perfectly consistent. There's no harm in maintaining that gorillas need to be saved but not all endangered species have to be saved. So that argument's okay. That isn't destroyed. It's perfectly reasonable. That means that the original statement wasn't an assumption. It wasn't needed for the argument to work because the assumption can put it. Because the argument can put up with the opposite, the negation. So that's how the negative test works. And remember you negate a statement by putting it's not the case that in front of it which often comes to the same thing as simply inserting a not in the right place. And then the negative of an assumption prevents the conclusion from being drawn. It makes the argument into a nonsense that doesn't work. So you can use this to test any possible assumption to work out whether it's really an assumption, whether it really has to be true for the argument to work. Okay, so let's look at an example from a past critical thinking exam paper. And this example happens to be about David Beckham. Here's the argument. It says that we don't normally have a problem in accepting that people with exceptional intelligence should be well paid. People were happy to significantly reward people with powerful scientific brains when, for example, they win Nobel Prizes. We pay vast amounts for the works of highly talented artists. So why should we complain when geniuses such as David Beckham are also highly paid? It's been calculated that his free kicks demonstrate a staggering mastery of physics. Just before he kicks the ball, he's worked out the factors of kick angle, direction and speed together with degree of spin to get the optimum trajectory. Computers take hours to do what Beckham's brain does in seconds. It's obvious that sporting genius like this should be exceptionally well paid. Okay, now this was actually a multiple choice question. It's asking which of the following is an underlying assumption of this argument. Sporting genius is as rare as any other exceptional intelligence. We should be consistent in the way in which we reward exceptional intelligence. The ability of David Beckham to take free kicks cannot be explained. Society's need for sporting genius is as great as its need for any other exceptional intelligence. And finally, E, sporting geniuses need to work as hard as any other type of genius for their high pay. Okay, at this point you might like to pause the video again and have a think. Which of these do you think is the right answer? Which one of these is an assumption? Okay, well the right answer is B. This is the one that has to be assumed. Let's get clear about why. First of all, B is right because that has to be true for the argument to work. We need to think that we have to be consistent in the way in which we reward exceptional intelligence. Otherwise, the fact that we reward other types of intelligence so highly wouldn't be any sort of reason for thinking that we should pay sporting geniuses really highly. Or let's think of it another way. Let's use the negative test. If we take the negative of this, we don't need to be consistent in the way in which we reward exceptional intelligence. Or it's okay to be inconsistent in the way in which we reward exceptional intelligence. You can see that that destroys the argument. If it's okay to be inconsistent, then it's okay not to pay sporting geniuses lots of money. The fact that we pay other people lots of money wouldn't matter. So B is definitely a right answer. It's not been stated and it needs to be true for the argument to work. The opposite of it, the negative destroys the argument. Let's think about the other options as well and see why they're not right. First of all, A, if we take the negative of that, sporting genius isn't as rare as other exceptional intelligence. Or even sporting genius is more common than other exceptional intelligence. Well, that doesn't destroy the argument. The author of the argument can say, yes, it's more common than other types of intelligence. But what's that got to do with anything? My argument was based on how common intelligence is, how many people there are who are scientific geniuses or sporting geniuses. It was all about fairness. We reward these other people very highly. Sporting geniuses are just as amazing. So to be fair, we should reward them in the same way. Okay, what about C? Well, C isn't assumed. That doesn't need to be true. If we take the negative, the ability of David Beckham to take free kicks can be explained. That doesn't destroy the argument. The author can perfectly well agree that it can be explained, but that doesn't destroy anything. That doesn't have any impact really on this argument about fairness. Okay, if we look at D and take the negative, society's need for sporting genius isn't as great as its need for any other exceptional intelligence. Well, again, that doesn't harm the argument. The argument hasn't got anything to do with how much we need different types of geniuses. It wasn't saying that we should give people like Beckham lots of money because we need them in the same way that we need really good scientists. The argument's based on fairness, not need. So the negative of D doesn't harm it. And finally, E isn't right either. If we say the opposite of that, sporting geniuses don't need to work as hard as any other type of genius for their high pay. Again, that's wrong for similar reasons to before. The argument hasn't got anything to do with how hard these people work. The argument that we should pay people like Beckham really well isn't based on the amount of work they do. It's based on fairness. They're geniuses like these other geniuses, so we should pay them equally highly. Okay, so I hope you can see that B is the right answer here. This is the assumption. It's the thing which hasn't been said but has to be true for the argument to work. Now, you'll want to do a lot of practice with assumptions and look at lots of questions because people often find that they need to think about a few examples in order to kind of get into the groove. And assumptions are so important for the reason that I said at the beginning. Often, the thing that's wrong with somebody's argument isn't what's actually there because typically they thought really hard about that. Typically, what's wrong with somebody's argument is an assumption that they've made, something they haven't thought about that needs to be right, but they haven't thought about it and often it's not right. So it's really important to work out what assumptions people are making in their arguments. One other point before I finish. Not all assumptions are problematic. Sometimes an argument makes an assumption but that assumption is perfectly reasonable. It's probably true and so it doesn't always matter that arguments make assumptions. What matters is when an assumption is made and it's really unclear that it's actually true. So just in this example here with David Beckham, maybe if you agree that we should be consistent in the way we reward exception and intelligence. If you agree with that, then it's not a problem that the argument makes that assumption. It's only a problem for the argument if you think that that assumption is possibly wrong or likely to be wrong. And in fact, you can probably think of some objections to it. Okay, so that's basically the end of this video. So the two things that you need to remember are firstly, assumptions are missing reasons, things that haven't been said. And secondly, they're things that are needed for the argument to work. And there's also this test, the negative test, which can help you to check whether something's assumed. And that says firstly that you negate a statement by putting it's not the case that at the start. And remember that often comes down to just putting a not into the sentence. And secondly, the negative of an assumption destroys an argument. So you can test whether something's assumed by seeing if the negative destroys an argument. Okay, I hope that that's a useful introduction to the idea of assumptions. I hope you'll go away and do lots of practice and really enjoy thinking about them. Thank you very much for watching.


Freedom! Today I wanted to talk to you about, oh my goodness, look I want to talk to you about a lot, but our studio space is currently kind of down, we're redoing some stuff in here, and yeah. So I need a little bit of time, I need a little bit of patience from you. This is actually the table that used to be in that room where I just was a second ago, and as you can see there's carpet and carpet strips here on the table. Oh wow, that's got glue on it, that is not good. I wanted to show you that, though I would love to do a little bit more in videos, I'm having a little bit of trouble because we've got some studio issues, but, but, but, but, but, but regardless, I'm trying to do a little bit better. And now on to the actual topic of this video, which was, oh what was the topic of this video? Was it the tons of green carpet that used to be in the giant green room? No, that wasn't it. Golly gee, what was it? What was it? I was going to say. Huh. By the way, there's some, there's some pretty camera equipment here and a mostly soundproof-ish type studio type place, but what was it I was gonna, this, this video was about something.  Now I know it has absolutely nothing to do with this room, which we use to compose music in. What did I want to say? Could it potentially have been Jean Reyes? Could he have it? I wanted to talk about the fact that I'm not really on the community team anymore. And before anybody freaks out, I kind of wanted to, you know, de-escalate the situation. De-escalate? I think that's the word I'm looking for. For a while, I really didn't know how to go about making videos for this channel because these videos are basically the way that we advertise freedom. You could say that there are bread and butter. But as with all things, I had to recharge my battery bank. These videos are a ton of fun to make. However, sometimes you just have to find a balance between what's fun and what you can do and to make sure you don't stress yourself out when you're making videos. Otherwise, you're just not going to be able to find serenity. Of course, I can't tell you every single detail about what's been going on here at the office. And I don't want to make excuses, but I wanted to come to you. I wanted to let you know that everything is fine and that there's definitely not something fishy.  Don't worry, I'm out of puns because I can't find another store or a shop to talk about. Freedom Family, you think you've seen The Anthony Show? You haven't seen anything yet. Hopefully, we're going to keep up with this format and we're going to do some really cool, fun stuff. Until next time, don't forget to like, subscribe, and do all those things that make you love my job. Also, be awesome to yourself and amazing to each other. Bye!


Lingard transfer offer. Wolves are expressing to sign Jesse Lingard for a fee of 21 million. Wait, take it? Yeah, but I have to replace him with somebody, right? Let's negotiate. Negotiation table. We're gonna ask for a little bit more cash. Give us 23 and it's a deal. I'm gonna say 24. We won't be willing to settle for less than 25 million. I understand you're not being able to look. We can offer 22 million to make that deal happen. Hey, nice. We need to grab ourselves a camp. What does Messi play? Right wing. He's too expensive and too old. What do you mean? Look how good he is. Good to see you. Thanks for coming. Why don't you get started? Shady, we're going to try and get Messi chat. Messi and Ronaldo, we offer you $90 million. We won't let Messi lead, but we'd sell him for $143 million. Wait, transfer budget is $99 million. Wait, so that's more than our budget. I'm sorry, but there's a huge gap between your values between ours. There's no point in his conversation all the best.  Can I go? Can I try again? What about Neymar? Wait, his value is way higher. His value is 152. Okay, who do I get to get a camp? Reina? Giovanni Reina, 18 years old. I'm glad you're going to make it. Let's sit down. 10 million. Wait, what is? He was insulted. He left. Why is this guy's picture of the guy that's from like the 1980s? I feel like you've wasted my time here. What the? Ignoring chat, get LeBron James. Okay, that's not, that's the wrong sport. Holland? Dude, his value is insane. Six foot four, 94 speed. Dude, I want him. 185. Let's see what he says. You want him? I want him to gacky hyper. That's not what I meant. 310? Ew, a crack head. People are saying sign Felix. Who's Felix? There's 100 Felixes. Okay, I don't know anything about this guy, but you know what we're going to do? We're just going to offer him 10 mil. 20 mil. I feel like I've wasted my time. Okay. Oh, we have a game chat. What is with these kids? Get the kids off the field. All right, gentlemen, listen up. I know there's been a lot of talk of my coaching expertise coming in here and winning our first ever game on the, on the land of FIFA. Home of the, well, home of the brave, but not so free. We came out here and I think we had a lot of people doubting us. We had a lot of doubters. Okay, and I know things ain't going to get easier. I know leads, leads is not the best team around.  Okay. We got to go out there, set the edge. Don't let them get deep behind our safeties. Okay. Behind our defense. We can't let them get the deep ball off on it. We got to get the ball to Ronaldo and Ronaldo is going to run it down.  Here we go. Rashford. Oh, nice. All right, fellas. Listen up. We got to, we got to pick it up. Okay. We got to pick it up in the next two quarters. We got to go out there and we have to score. Okay. We only scored defense. Good job. Good job defensively. They haven't scored a good score point yet, but we got to go out there in the second half and we have got to absolutely got to score more points because one is not enough. Okay.  Oh, defense. McGuire.  Good job team. Way to pass to Ronaldo. Just keep doing that. We're going to win. It's so close. Be able to prove it. Oh, my. Plan of action, but throw to the goalkeeper at ghost. What? What happened? What happened? I thought, what was that? Dude, I'm going to be so mad at this score right here. Please don't score. Oh, we'll hold on chat. We win again. Okay. Thank you all for joining me. Football history time. In 1984, there was the Kump fan incident where a fan was sneaking into players dressing rooms and ejaculating on the players' belongings. This continued for several months before it was found to be the ball boy. I, listen, that has nothing to do with our victory, but I appreciate the information. It's good to know. It's good knowledge. You know, coming out here winning our first two games in a row, I'm very, very impressed with the way this football team has come out here and really, really, I'll be honest surpassed. I think the expectation is a lot of people. A lot of doubters. I think a lot of people didn't think we had what it takes. Here from United People's TV, great start of the season so far. Fans are beginning to give you the nickname Walmart Ferguson. You sell that fridge looking slap head with wire already. He slept with my wife and it's tearing my family apart. Listen, the wire has done a fantastic job basically just standing there. Hello coach, Ricky Astman with the Cheeky Brough Times. Absolutely. The team has looked solid the past few games, but how do you respond to the criticisms that you look like a bargain bin version of the Undertaker? Well, listen, listen, listen. Now, hey, there's people that are going to say what they want to say, OK? But the Undertaker I believe would be a fantastic soccer coach. Hey coach, I have no problems with the players that you have selected for your team, but are you sure you are going to win it all this year given the disaster stress and to your last season with the NFL? Hold on now. Listen, we did come back and I did come back to coach one final season. We did win the Super Bowl, OK? A, B, yes. Thank you. Come on, guys. Keep up the pace. Keep up the pace, fellas. Keep up the pace. Keep going. Keep it going. That circle's getting tight. That circle's getting tighter, tighter, tighter, tighter, tighter. Good. OK. Aston Martin is interested in loaning Phil Jones. Do I loan Phil Jones for one year? We want, we want to keep Phil Jones. And then we're going to keep Fernandez. Listen closely, OK? The expectations are now running high, OK? We came out here our first two games and what do we do? We performed. We delivered. OK, and I expect that to continue. I do. Renato, break him out. I got to go to the bathroom. Scum of Dominique. Damn it, McGuire. McGuire, you can't get intercepted like that. Jesus Christ on the cross, McGuire. You're just washing the ball. Fred, get in there. We're making some play. Fred's fresh. Got fresh legs. Damn it, Fred.  Y'all are walking around here.  Now there's an expectation here. There's an expectation, a commitment to excellence.   McGuire, you're out for the whole rest of the game.  When I take a shower in the locker room, Renato always sticks something in my butt. Can you please do something? Listen, I told Renato to make sure that he gives you that suppository, OK? I made sure because you know what? That's a leader. That's what you call a leader right there, man. He cares not only about winning the game on the field, but he wants to win the game off the field, OK? He cares about you. He cares about your health and well-being. He knows you got to take your medicine, OK? And I told him to make sure to do that. So, Renato, thank you. Thank you, Renato. Renato, you know what? Break him out anyway. Let's do this. Passing was an open. Obviously, we're not going to go out there and win every game, but I'll go ahead and I'll be the first one to tell you that today was a disappointment, OK? What I am here to make decisions on is decisions that will lead us to have some results.  Why? Why is there a window in the press conference room? And why is there so much damn lot directly on the podium? I don't know. 130 million for Messi. The minimum we want is 143. He's old. It's OK. Chat, we just signed Messi. We have Messi and Ronaldo. How much for Reina? How much should I offer for Reina? Here, we'll do 50. How about 50? Flat. That was too much. Well, no, he wanted 12 million and the value was 41 million. So I signed him to a three-year deal. Chat, you guys think Messi is not going to play for three more years? He wants a 3.75 million signing bonus. It's great to have you both here at last. OK, we got Giovanni Reina. But what about other players that we want to give you a good every chance of being either occasionally a starter or more usually a substitute? Good. That's what we had in mind. The last heavy role you're offering him. Four years. Sure. Disregard release clause. Wage, accept. I know we had a rough go last week. We did. We had a rough go last week, but that's OK. But what really matters is how you react in the face of adversity. OK?  So how do we react for the Manchester United soccer team? What do we do? We reacted to adversity by spending our entire budget and signing Lionel Messi. So everybody welcome Lionel Messi to the team. Yes, we have Messi and Ronaldo on the same team. It's going to be very exciting, OK? Whoa! Good block. OK, good job. Good job, defense.  OK, McGuire. Oh, my lord. McGuire!  McGuire, just as soon as you get the ball, pass. That is your job. Just literally pass it as soon as... What is McGuire doing? Just got news.  Right on the back goal post. Smoked it. Obviously we did not play the way that we wanted to play today. OK, I know we've dropped the ball twice in a row, but you know, we started off on a good foot.  Until we win the damn FIFA Bowl. Or what is a Super Bowl for soccer? World Cup? When Manchester United wins the World Cup, y'all can have some damn ice cream.  This is the nine best sets of supporters have been waiting for. Not long now until kickoff on matchday one in the Champions League. Who will get up to a positive start with all three points? It's Villarreal. They face Manchester United. And it's line-up of excitement stands before us potentially here at the Estadio de la Serramiga, the home of Villarreal. I'm Derek Gray in the commentary position. Y'all listen up. Listen up. OK, here's what we're doing today. This is probably the best team that we've played so far. This probably is the best team that we've played so far. I don't know what to do with my hands. I was going to get on the theme. I'm not leaving until you sign me. Keep your head up, boys.  It's OK. I need 100% of the effort, 400% of the time. OK, that's what I need. Why? Because we got to have 100% effort for four quarters. OK, that's why. 100% effort, 400% of the time. That's the only way we can win any games.  Fernandez, break them out. They've been confirmed, Stuart. Well, certainly a little... What? That's an effective draw. What are you doing? I've been trying to get them over the finish line. Oh! All of a sudden it's... Oh, but I think it's game over. I can't believe I'm paying money to watch FIFA 22 Kappa. OK, listen.


Cyanobacteria, commonly known as blue-green algae, are one of the earliest forms of life on Earth and play a key role in the evolution of our atmosphere. These microorganisms can thrive in utrophic environments, which are often caused by human activity, leading to the formation of cyanobacterial blooms. These blooms can be harmful to both humans and animals, producing toxins that can cause poisoning and even lead to more serious health issues like cancer. However, some cyanobacterial strains have shown promise in treating certain types of cancer, suggesting that further research could yield beneficial applications.

SARS-CoV-2 infection has been shown to drive NLRP3 inflammasome activation and thereby cytokine storm, but how it does so is unclear. Here the authors show that the viral and protein combined to NLRP3, resulting in enhanced interaction with ASC and thereby with the NLRP3 inflammasome.


Hi there fans, welcome to another video by Psych2Go, made possible only through your love and support. We aim to unravel the mysteries of psychology along with you, one video at a time. So let's begin! Have you ever gone through something so unspeakably horrific that it left you psychologically scarred? Is there a certain event or experience in your life that still haunts you to this day? If so, what you are experiencing is called trauma. Statistics show that approximately one out of every three people who experience severe trauma develop PTSD. Post-traumatic stress disorder, or PTSD, is a mental illness that is brought about when we experience a traumatic event ourselves, or when we witness or hear about a traumatic event that happened to someone we love. The American Psychological Association defines trauma as, any event where there is a serious threat to one's life. The severity of danger is what sets PTSD apart from other trauma and stress-related mental illnesses, such as, adjustment disorder and acute stress disorder, or ASD. It typically manifests as a persistently negative mood, hypervigilance, intrusive flashbacks, and recurring nightmares about the traumatic event. With that said, here are the six most common causes of PTSD. 1. Physical Assault Assault is what happens when someone physically overpowers you in a way that's meant to cause you harm, and it usually involves instances of theft, mugging, battering, stabbing, murder, or kidnapping. With that said, going through any one of these examples would be enough to traumatize a person for life. The likelihood of PTSD developing increases in these cases when the perpetrator was someone you knew, or someone close to you. A weapon, like a gun or a knife, was used. It happened when you were younger, and help was not immediately available. 2. Sexual Assault Sexual assault has been identified as one of the leading and most dangerous causes of developing PTSD. Victims of sexual harassment or rape are afraid of getting blamed or being ridiculed and so often feel unable to share what happened to them. Repressing your trauma only makes it come out in uglier and far more dangerous forms. Studies show that survivors of sexual assault, whether attempted or completed, often struggle with feelings of depression, anxiety, fear, isolation, anger, and sadness. 3. Serious Accidents Running over someone, getting run over, being in a car crash, having a stroke or a heart attack, falling from a great height, or seriously injuring yourself are some of the examples of the kinds of serious accidents that can cause PTSD. The most common culprits are vehicular accidents, which have been rising at an alarming annual rate. 4. Natural Calamities If the traumatic event was a natural calamity, part of the reason why it can be so enduring and so overwhelmingly frightening is because of how helpless it makes us feel, whether it was a flood, a fire, a hurricane, or a high-magnitude earthquake. Environmental disasters like these can leave you fearing for your life and unable to do anything to stop it. PTSD develops when you can no longer control your fear of it happening again and you start living in a state of constant anxiety and trauma. 5. Combat Exposure Interestingly enough, while physical and sexual assault were found to be most common in patients with PTSD, it was actually combat exposure that led the condition to become an officially recognized mental illness. Being exposed to combat violence, serving in a war or witnessing war at a young age can do a lot of psychological damage to a person. 6. Inherited Vulnerability While trauma is definitely present for a large majority of PTSD cases, genetics has also been shown to play a role. As studies have found, it's actually possible for two people to experience the same traumatic event, but only one of them develops PTSD. This is explained in the Diathesis Stress Model, which states that for mental illness to develop, there must be external stressors and an inherited vulnerability. Vulnerability refers to a person's family history of having that certain disorder. This means that the more relatives of PTSD you have, or the closer your relationship to them is genetic, the more likely you are to develop it as well. According to the National Institute of Mental Health in 2017, 7-8% of the global population suffers from PTSD. Children are up to two times more likely to develop it than men, and it tends to have a chronic course that persists for years, decades, or even a lifetime when left untreated. If you have experienced any of these traumatic events, it's important that you reach out to a mental health care professional and get the help you need. Even if you don't think you're at risk of developing PTSD, it would still do you good to speak out to a counselor and open up to them about what you're going through. Communicating how you feel and surrounding yourself with people who support you and understand what you're going through can make all the difference. Had you heard of PTSD before?
