Aloha, good morning, good afternoon, or good evening. You can go to love in France, but you cannot become a Frenchman. You can go to love in Germany, Turkey, or Japan, but you cannot become a German or Turk or Japanese, but anyone from any corner of the earth can come to love in America and become an American. Welcome back to a Nation of Immigrants, a bi-weekly talk show program featuring the life of immigrants, diversity, and inclusion. Created by Sintank Hawaii and the Kingsville Law Office. We invite renowned immigrants to come to the show to talk about their life stories, immigration adventures, and their contributions to cultural diversity. Today's guest is Professor Zhuang Yi Liu from University of Minnesota. Welcome Professor. Thank you. Thank you for your invitation. It's a pleasure to be here. Thank you very much Professor. We know each other for many, many years, and I always a pleasure to working with you and starting the World Education Expo in 2005, I believe, and in Beijing. Now both of us serve on the U of M China Center Board. You are the board chair, and I really appreciate your leadership. And I'm going to read your short bio to our audience. You Professor Liu received his undergraduate degree from Sudan University, the top university in Shanghai, China, and master's and doctorate degrees in mathematics from Virginia Tech in the United States. Professor Liu now is a professor at the Department of Mathematics, Swanson School of Science and Engineering, University of Minnesota, Duluth. Professor Liu is also the chair of the University of Minnesota China Center Board. Professor Liu's research interests include, I'm going to try my best to hear, optimal control theory, differential equations, approximation, and the parameter identification. I have no idea what are they, but obviously they are important in the research areas. Professor, I want to ask you, the first question I want to ask you is from your bio, you graduated from Sudan University in 1982, which means you were admitted into college in 1978. That from the resume, non-Chinese probably will not comprehend how significant that is, but all Chinese when we look at your resume, we are super impressed, because that means you are a member of Qi Ba Ban, Qi Ba means 78, you entered the college in 78. Why is this important and significant? And because you are the best of the best, the elite of the elites of Chinese intellectuals and educated class. Why we say that? Because from 1966 to 1978, the Chinese colleges basically completely shut down. And the Chinese colleges and universities reopened in 1978, and you can think about it, 12 years of talent have been accumulated, have been waiting for this opportunity. So the college admission was extremely brutal and highly competitive. It's like one to a thousand ratio, something like that. But you were admitted to the very best university in Shanghai, China. So congratulations, a very late congratulations. But I do want to ask you your college experience and how you get into college and anything you would like to share about that period? Yes, I was one of the lucky ones to get into the college at that time. This is the cultural revolution ended in 1976 after Mao's death. And then we start a new era and there are hundreds of things are waiting to be done. And one of the things is to restoration of the university. Because there are 10 years, there are no the college admissions. So I remember that it was in 1977, the spring of 1977. And Deng Xiaoping asked, invited actually a group of senior scientists and the professors and to Beijing to have a meeting with them and ask them what the country should do, what the government should do for the education system. And the suggestion, many professors and scientists suggested the restoration of the college entrance exam to start the, to get the new student into the university as soon as possible. Well, usually in China, just like here and the new students start from September, the fall semester. But at that time, it's already like a June, it's too late to start the new, to give the college entrance exam and then admitted students into university for the fall semester. Then they decided, okay, let's do it in the spring. That is abnormal. You start a new school year in the spring, that's the spring semester, 1978 February. So in 1977, I was a construction worker. When I left the school in 1971, I was sent to the island, the farm in the island, which is on, I think it's at the Yangtze Delta, it's called the Chongqing Island. I was there for three years there. And then they say, okay, you're re-education by the parents was done, then they assign me back to the city, the Shanghai city, I become a construction worker for another three years. And during that time, I would prepare myself actually to become my hobby. I would love mathematics a lot. So I taught myself in what I did not learn in school because from my seventh grade to 10th grade, I only stayed in school for four years, then I was assigned to the farm. So we did not learn much. Actually, what I remember that the only thing for the mathematics part, I only learned so far right now, it's the seventh grade mathematics. So I actually, when I was in the farm and when I was a construction worker, I self taught myself. It's just for hobby. But I always have a dream, I say, someday, maybe the revolution and then if we reopen the university, I can get into the university and become a student there. Well, the good news comes in 1977. So when they announced that news saying that they were reopening the university, I took one month off from my work and to review, prepare for the exam. And with one of my neighbor and my best friends, and we worked together for like one month and prepared for the exams. So after taking the exam, I think, well, I feel pretty good when I took the exam. I think, oh, especially the math part, I think I did pretty well. And then you can select which university you want to go.  What is the second choice? And then according to your score and the university will admit you or not, they make decisions. So according to my math score, at that time, the best strong, I should say, strongest math program in China is Beijing University and Fudan University. But that year, Beijing University's math program was not ready. They did not start to recruit students. So the only choice is Fudan University. So that's my only choice. I feel the Fudan University, I did not choose any other. Absolutely the best. Good choice. Fortunately, and the good news comes. And one day in my mailbox, I received a letter saying that you are admitted to Fudan University. I was so excited.  But when I hear your story, there is a big throat, a big lung in my throat. I couldn't imagine the three years at the construction worker and before that years in the farmland and which you and your generation absolutely deserve the best education. And I agree, you are the lucky one.  But you endured and you waited for your turn. And you tried and also remind me the story of other, you know, intellectuals of communities when they work in the farm for a day. Then return, retire to their slum, they read and memorize the Shakespeare. And the same story. And you taught yourself mass, the multiple language. Certainly, yeah, because I think I'm just, I was one step ahead of many others. And in some way, I'm better prepared. And I know that that year, 5.7 million students took the college entrance exam and they only admitted 270,000 students. So the admission rate is like 4.7%. In my high school class, 50 students, I was the only one got into college. In my farm, when you remember that I went to the farm, we have like a team of 150 people, young people at the same age. I was the only one who got into college that year. So yeah, it was difficult. But I think the reason I was able to get in is just because I was one step ahead of others. Professor, you're too humble. You are the best. There's no doubt about it. Everybody were prepared. The 5.7 million applicants, all of them were prepared. Everybody studied hard, wanted to get into the college after these 10, 12 years wait. And absolutely, you were the best applicants. And how big was your class at the university, the department? The math department in that year admitted 160 students. You are pretty moderate, not too big. We had four classes and two in mathematics and one in computational mathematics and the other one in theoretical mechanics. Well, it's just amazing you have, you know, after all these years, you could have the opportunity to sit in a classroom at a Fudan University, very elite university in China in a study math. You must really, really happy. And how was, I will be curious, because of the Qibaban, the class of 82, and all of them, all of you are elite, elite of the elites. And you're either very accomplished scholar, professors, or in the government, or maybe studied abroad. So do you have a contact with your college classmates? Do you know what they do now? Yes, and we do have close contact. In 2015, my class had 40 students, and we had a class reunion. In the United States or in China? In Fudan University. Oh, Fudan University. So that class means actually a student in China, or most of them are? In my class, one quarter of them are in the United States. One quarter, yeah, 10 students are in the United States. Other class, our class is, well, because in that year, the students entered the college, the age difference is so big. Oh, yeah, yeah, sure. In 2015, the oldest is about 30 or 31. So when they divide us into classes, my class is the age, age, the limited older. So I was 24, the youngest in my class was 23. Other class have most of the younger kids. I see. Yeah, and for that class, actually, most of them I was studied abroad, and I think most of them in the United States, right? Not surprisingly, we wanted the best of the best. For my class, the students, most of them, if they stay in China, for those staying in China, they become college professors, most of them. I think the reason is, after 10 years at the clothing of the university, and the lack of university teachers, so after we graduated, most of them stayed there and assigned a job in university to become a teacher, become a professor later, yeah. Very good. Thank you very much. And I went to college in 1991, and my high school friends, many of them went to Peking University. I didn't go to Peking University for college, only for graduate school. But I think last year, they had their college, their classroom reunion, and I think except one, the entire class in the United States. I think biology, the biology class, at least one class, the entire class in the United States, except one student. It's just amazing to see that the cultural interdependency and how the Chinese can thrive in the United States. Now, I think I'm having one of the best oral history interview on this program. I really appreciate you, Professor Liu, to share with you like experience. Now we have to move on to the second chapter of your CV, how did you get to the United States? And you graduated from Fudan and you immediately applied for Virginia Tech? Yeah, the reason I applied to Virginia Tech actually started from 1981. One of the, remember that one, my neighbor, one of my best friends, we started to get prepared for the college entrance exam. And he is a physics major. In 1981, the Nobel Prize winner, Professor Zheng Daoli from Columbia University, he initiated a program in physics called the CUSP program, which selects a hundred top physics students from China and enrolled them in the United States universities to the PhD program in physics. So my friend was selected, so he went to Virginia Tech in 1981 and then he gave me a lot of information about Virginia Tech, about how to study in the United States. Because at that time, the information about the US is very, very rare. And we really don't know much about the universities and the lives in the United States. So my friend wrote to me and he said, yeah, you can come and you can apply to the math department. There are no Chinese students there and you can apply and you can apply for scholarship, like a teaching assistantship or research assistantship, so that we've got that time we cannot afford to pay tuition. So I said, oh, great, then just send me, we ask them, send me the application form so I applied. Then in 1981, about December, I received admission letter from Virginia Tech, and which they offered me a scholarship, however, I was not able to enter the program. The reason is the government already assigned us, because we are, when we go to university, everything was provided, you don't pay tuition fee, you don't pay the dorm fee. So everything provided by the government. So now they say, okay, you are in our plan to assign you to a job. In that plan, you cannot leave. You have to serve for the country for two years. And I said, so we have to work for two years before you can leave. So I rolled back to Virginia Tech and said, I'm sorry, I cannot come because of that policy. Well, it's so nice of them, they renewed my admission and the scholarship every year for two years. So until 1984, then I finally completed the two years work requirement. And then, so I went to Virginia Tech, the professor there, the director of the graduate study, the first thing he said to me, finally, finally you come, finally you come. At that time, I was the first Chinese students from mainland of China to the Virginia Tech Math Department. Wow, historic. Well, professor, again, you said this is such a light tune, but we all know how difficult it was. That means you had very high level of English proficiency. Well, in a Chinese college, a studying math, otherwise, they wouldn't admit you. And second, your GPA must be the 4.0, and the highest possible in order for them to award you a tuition, labor, and a scholarship. And you must be the best of the best, otherwise, they wouldn't wait for two more years just to admit this particular student. So Virginia made the right choice. And we made the right choice to have you here at the U of M. But I just remind me, I came to the United States in 2000. And I had my undergraduate education in China, total seven years. And I got the same tuition free and a very tiny stipend. But anyway, basically, I have seven years of free education in China. But when I wanted to study abroad, a different story, they didn't want me to work because there's no assigned job already waiting for you. They just said, pay the tuition back. So I paid seven years of tuition and a stipend back to the education authority and then was allowed to study abroad. However, here's a little dramatic twist. Many years later, the people who was in charge of charging these study abroad students these fee was arrested because obviously, the money didn't go to the treasury instead of go to somewhere else. So I thought I'd digress, but I couldn't help. Just remind me. But I'm glad you had two years in China and came to the United States without further obstacles. When I first came, I remember at that time, the current exchange rate is $1 to Remy B. And you are only allowed to exchange $60. $60. So I came to the United States with $60 in my pocket. I arrived at New York at Kennedy Airport and I took a taxi. I was sent me to Queens and one of my friends lived there. And from there, I took the Greyhound bus from New York to Blacksburg, Virginia. But with that $60 at the airport, the taxi driver said, OK, I give them the address. They said, OK, we can drive you. How much money do we have? I thought about it. I said, $40. Smart. Give me the $40. I don't know. That was an overcharge, wasn't it? That I mean overcharge. Yeah, definitely overcharge. It's a completely new experience for me. I thought that I still had kept the $20 in my pocket. I'm sorry that New York didn't give you a very, very good welcome. Well, it's amazing, you know, our program goes so fast because we should double the length of our program. But before we go, I do want to ask you at least. We only get a chance to cover, like, 10% of our questions. But I do want to ask you, even when we only have less than two minutes left, why math? What do you find about so fascinating about the math?  First is when I was an elementary school student, my math skill is pretty good. I think maybe because of my mother, the elementary school math teacher. OK. And I inherited a little bit of that. Yeah, I was the class representative for the math part. But after that, when I was assigned to the farm, I want to keep studying because we didn't learn much knowledge in my high school or middle school to high school that we didn't learn much. So I thought, OK, I want to know more. So that's kind of saying you really want to learn the knowledge. And you don't want it just to be a farmer forever. So what do you can learn? At that time, you cannot self-study chemistry because you need experiments to experiment. Physics, chemistry, all you need to do experiments and so on. So that's another reason that the mathematics you only need a piece of paper and a pen, you can study by yourself. So I kept going in the math direction. OK, well, because you learn more and more and you really find, OK, you really love. I really love the mathematics part. So that is why I picked that direction. You are the natural born mathematician. You feel natural. Other people might find that a piece of paper and a pencil, that they cannot produce anything. But you produce mathematic equations and make it a beautiful language. But I have to say that you are fitting the professor, you're fitting the stereotype in the United States. So you are a model immigrant and also you're good at math. So that's just a double confirmation of the stereotype. I was not the best student in my college class. I was OK, but many of my classmates are really smart. I was intimidated a lot about that. 5.7 million, the best, the very top of the pyramid. You are already in the elite club. Well, I'm so fortunate that we were out of time. But what an amazing conversation, Professor Liu. I learned so much from this conversation. I hope we will invite you, come back to the program and we will continue to talk about mathematics. I really very much look forward. I hope there's a lot of stories about the way to lead to me to the United States and how to become the immigrant. So yeah, we can chat later. Absolutely, look forward to it. Thank you, Professor. What a throw. Thank you for your time. Aloha. Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn. Check out our website, thinktecawaii.com. Mahalo.

It's growing dark outside Broadway is flashing her neon duels to dazzle the out-of-town customers Still how I'm sitting at his desk writing my dear Mary. I'm writing to you from my office It's less than an hour since you left and I've been sitting here thinking about you and jock Some days that we lived a long time ago Do you remember when moonlight in roses was the big song of the day? You and jock were crazy about it There was a total eclipse of the Sun in Rhode Island an earthquake and Santa Barbara in a real estate boom in Florida Shingled hair was a novelty and Jimmy Walker had just been elected mayor of New York City that all seems a long time ago doesn't At twilight you were standing in a rice-lit flower-strewn room at the Carpley Plaza Wearing an orchid corsage on a dark blue velvet dress whose hem was 16 inches above the floor and whose Waste lines slopped around your hips You turned away from your brand new husband and looked up at me We're laughing Wasn't it the keenest wedding you've ever been to honey. It was oh, I'm so happy. I could die Tell me that it'll never be more wonderful than it is Angel char we've got to catch your boat. We're trying not to get seasick.  Help yourself. Oh, man. It's the only day. It's legal, you know I kissed you goodbye Later after you'd gone I wanted into the next room where people were dancing and celebrating your wedding I don't know what the orchestra was playing or what anybody was saying to anybody else. I only remember a song distorted full of pain going around and around my head like a requiem Somebody stole my gal You came back from your honeymoon and moved into that little apartment on East 38th Street You know the one with atmosphere instead of air You said I was your first dinner guest and I must have been because the meal was certainly terrible Well, I had a big lunch and I never eat much in this kind of weather I don't know what it is Mary, but my stomach hasn't been very steady the last few weeks Oh, no wait a minute honey, it could be lots of other things you haven't eaten anything yourself. Well, I cooked it So I don't have to eat it What and what happened everything came right out of the brides first cookbook all it takes is experience Mary You'll be better. Sure. You have to get better. It's been possibly get worse Never mind Mary, we're gonna give you an A for effort. Well, I've been thinking I'm gonna make a million dollars You'll outgrow that no, I'm not kidding. I'll do it in the market within no Five years maybe sooner. I know a guy downtown who's made The last four months, I've got a neat little nest egg now and even if I didn't have there's an arrangement known as margining Uh, it's a gamble and I don't like it Bill C. Hallam. The C is for cautious or candy.  I did come Not as frequently as I want it to but probably more frequently than I should I brought a series of girls. I brought beautiful ones and bright ones and redheaded ones and a couple who were on diets Each of them would seem kind to me and still they stood in the same room with you Then I'd realize that whatever they were they And then one evening I brought Kitty Bryant Beautiful girl Beautiful and smart And I feel was a swell evening. I'm crazy about Jack and Mary. So am I How long have you been in love with her?  But she's married remember Yes, I remember As an old story and maybe not a very interesting one But it so happens by a peculiar coincidence that he's my best friend and so is Mary We just pan around together. Well, that's simply dandy isn't it? Damon and Pithius and the girlfriend Is it your impression that the best things in life are three No, that's good Because it isn't mine either That was in May the Roxy had just been open in the yield of France just launched There was trouble in Nicaragua. Helen Morgan was sitting on a piano And Coolidge did not choose to run And the whole city was going crazy over Lindbergh's flight to Paris. That was in May and in August on a Sultry's stifling afternoon. I went up to your apartment after work to meet Jack for a mid-summer bachelor's dinner You were supposed to be at Bar Harbor lying on a beach, but There you were in that hot apartment with your face as white as the sheets that cover the Bill if you sing kitty brand lately. Well, no, she's been tied up. So I gather I found this package on his dressing table Happy as a jeweler's box, isn't it? Yes, but look at the card. It says to kitty doesn't it? Oh, now wait a minute. That's something I asked Josh to pick up You see it's kitty's birthday, and I don't know very much about what girls like and Why are you looking at me like that?  Come here. Let me look at you I didn't mean to cry this never occurred to me that I shouldn't look at it There's many reasons why you shouldn't but I told Mary you bought it for me to give kitty You shouldn't have said that I knew he was lying Funny I Thought you'd have the decency to lie to well have you reached the point where you don't trust me What would you think if you walked in upon something like that? I'll wait a minute you two You're not the kind of marriage that doesn't come along very often I'll fight fight to keep it not to get rid of it You're one of you will ever find another one like it You and jock my way that autumn to the mutants when he came back you were all freckled and healthy and There was a new radiance to both of you and right in the middle of a long Complicated story about a fishing trip. You suddenly stopped for King looked at jock And then you said shall we tell him darling my food is old enough What do you think well if we don't tell him he might hear about it at school? What's got into you two you not completely absolutely and completely We're going to have a baby bill. Do you ever hear of anything like that in your whole life?  She's underage couldn't You're the very first one to know Had the two nice people yeah everything in the world Everything in the world I walked home through the empty streets completely alone Devastatingly lonely All the way home. It wasn't you I was thinking of It was kitty brandt and an expression. She'd used Damon and pippies and the girlfriend But I thought of her question Is it your impression that the best things in life are free I? Had said no But in a couple of weeks if someone had asked you that question you and jock would certainly have a different answer Being married to you made all the difference in the world any question. I knew that Before mr. Hilton introduces the second act let us go back for a moment to a time many years ago Our scene is set on the spacious lawns of a white-pillared mansion in Virginia It is Monticello the home of Thomas Jefferson diplomat statesman and of late the president of the United States Mr. Jefferson is entertaining some family friends and a young lady asks him to tell of his happiest moment fully expecting to hear of the signing of the Declaration of Independence Mr.. Jefferson smiles and without hesitation in his careful cultivated tones answers I have known many my dear Happiest moments my heart is known are those in which it is pouring forth its affection That truth is known to many of us those who make hallmark cards know it too and on that truth They have built a tradition the tradition that every hallmark card regardless of the occasion is sincere warm and affectionate whether it calls for an expression of gaiety or wit sympathy or gladness any occasion for a friend to express his personal sentiments to another You will find the hallmark card exactly fitting your needs a card that says just what you want to say the way you want to say No wonder your friends receive hallmark cards with an extra measure of satisfaction For when they turn the card over as you did and see the name hallmark They know you cared enough to send the very best Now mr.. Hilton continues with the second act of the story. He's chosen for tonight Richard Sherman's to marry with love Richard Sherman's story to marry with love in his office late that night Attorney Bill Hallam is writing a letter to the girl. He didn't marry Jack phoned me on a hot damn evening and he sounded like he was in China instead of New York Receive this is wanting to help you but wishing I could say part I'm going on a cruise to the North Cape as soon as they let me out here. Well, that'll be good for years. Jock going to know No, Jock's working a lot He seems to have the feeling that money is the only important thing in the world now Back it looks as though we're going to be known as those wealthy wallaces Jock's founding financial dynasty Except for the dynasty has you know in the movies It's always a baby that cements the father and mother together for cheap. Oh, it's going to be an interesting experiment with jockeys Because it seems there isn't going to be anything baby everybody says the movie should be more like life.  I'll have cars to match dresses and dresses to match moose We're going to be the gayest people in town. Jock and The gayest people in town You came back from the cruise with several trunks full of new clothes a different way of doing your hair and Irene Potter And her brother Sloane The three of you did the town together for weeks before I saw you when I finally did get to see you alone You said feel I decided to leave jock you I'm going to marry Sloane Potter. He's already in Mexico waiting for me. I'm waiting for jock to come home now So I can tell you you're going to my mind completely made up and nothing anyone says is going to stop Do you think you'll be happy with Sloane? Who knows? I'm not happy now Jock and I've been living in a vacuum for months. I Haven't been home for three days. I need to tell you know that throne pot as a playboy You can't tell me anything about Sloane, though. I know him much better than you do. Oh There's jock as a man who appreciates the value of a last-minute entrance Well, I borrowed you with my little story and I might have got bore him Bet you jock That the captain of industry. Oh, yes, of course Dumpty dumpty sat on the wall and then he was October 24 1929 the end of an era the end of a lot of things Instead of going to Mexico you went to a rented house and flushing with jock you and Irene Potter opened a candy shop jock's cuffs were frayed in his eyes puffy and I I Wounded what the two of you said and did and felt when you were alone Life or a form of it went on Newt Rockney crashed Gumdy was arrested making salt Edison died and Theodore Dreyse's slapped Sinclair Lewis Everybody was playing Tom Thumb galt and somebody wrote a song called happy days are here again But they weren't On Christmas Eve we were supposed to have a party, but when I arrived jock was home yet We sat there looking at each other across the small tree in the artificial fireplace with the gas log Merry Christmas It's a sentimental nice Why what are you thinking about? I was thinking about you. I was remembering how I used to Dream of being alone with you on Christmas I am and it's not at all the way I dreamed it would be What do you mean Bill? Mary What would you say if I told you that I was in love with you? Well, I'd say That's the type of thing you sometimes say when you're sitting with an old friend on a night like this And I'm very embarrassed about the next day But I am in love with you. I have been from the time you threw your first mud pie at the hole Don't please You and jock and I've been friends There's been an accident I was driving down northern Boulevard and I run over a guy that lives at this address I took him to the hospital, and I thought maybe you'd want to go He's alive if that's what you mean broke a couple of ribs. I'll drive you over in my car. I'll get a cold It wasn't my fault Why didn't he watch where he was going? I blew my horn. Didn't I? Fine Christmas. This is a fine Christmas Long time before jock was on his feet again. Lots of things happened in the interim There was a century of progress a new deal bank holidays Anthony adverse and a midget sat on Morgan's lap After that Christmas Eve, I thought it would be better if I wasn't near you So I arranged things to take me out of town business in Chicago business in California business anyplace Except where you were I Took girls out made love to them try to convince both them and myself that I was serious, but I Was still too faithful to you in my fashion You were the works with me, and I realized you always would be The night I finally returned to New York was repeal night, and I accidentally ran into you on the streets They're you fake love. How are you? Hey, why didn't you let us know you were in town? You look wonderful Bill. We've missed you. I missed you too both of you Let's get in someplace where we can sit down and talk, but I can't right now. I'm late for the point What did I call you next week? Oh, please do that bill. It's still the same number. How are things with you? Why things are wonderful.

Three huge intersecting dark lanes of interstellar dust marked the Treffid Nebula, one of the most recognizable and striking star birth regions in the night sky. The dust, silhouetted against glowing gas and illuminated by starlight, cradles the bright stars at the heart of the nebula. This image from Hubble offers a close-up view of the center of the Treffid Nebula near the intersection of the dust clouds, where a group of recently formed massive bright stars is easily visible.


Let's say we want to match every number in a text. Numbers are made up of one or more digits concatenated together. Using our basic reject symbols that would be any digit. 0 or 1 or 2 or 3 or 4 or 5 or 6 or 7 or 8 or 9 concatenated with 0 or more of any digit. 0 or 1 or 2 or 3 or 4 or 5 or 6 or 7 or 8 or 9 star. Now this is far too long for a busy computer scientist. Thankfully we can use some extended reject syntax to describe this and others using only a few symbols. In many systems a list of symbols between square brackets like bracket 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 bracket means choose one from this list and we can shorten this further to bracket 0-5 bracket which means choose any symbol in the range 0 to 5. But in our example we want any single digit so we can use another code backslash d. Backslash d, backslash d star is so much shorter now but it still matches exactly the same pattern. In fact we can shorten it even more by introducing the plus notation. While a star matches 0 or more a's a plus matches 1 or more a's so we can now write our rejects formula that will match any number as backslash d plus. Other common symbols are the question mark which matches an optional occurrence of the symbol, a number in curly braces which matches exactly that number of the previous symbol and the period or full stop which matches any single character once. Remember all of these extended rejects symbols may be pretty fancy and they shorten things a lot but they are really just shortcuts that could be written longhand using the four basic symbols bar, star and the parentheses.


Beaver's why you're not killing things why you're not eating fish? But fine, okay Record fantastic but fantastic ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha House wastes can be quite a feeling to sharks.

Look you Just I said Honestly makes no difference if I do that. I think I think I think anyway It's a king fish in the mood quite like watching a 73 year old hit a double bogey The fact that they've turned the waters off baton tordu into a spawning round to test to their love of seniors golf What is this a golf course?  Oh I just have to kill ten mackerel's in this cave What's the worst that could happen in here? Do you think there's gonna be Mako sharks? I Can already hear something. I don't know what it is, but I can hear it Think oh, it's a barracuda Well, this is easy Yes died. Oh, I think that kind of works Look at all these old barracudas Look at me the disco shop Did it did it did it did it did it did it another best tactic to constantly click like right trigger and right stick in So I constantly turn to them maybe Maybe that's it. Oh, they all swim over here into the into.  Oh, yeah, oh, come on, really Oh so hockey sticks are still legal according to baton tour due course rules But not for long if membership director Doug Thompson has anything to say about oh dear Fall diving is an exciting and growing field where you can risk alligators and venomous snakes for seven to ten cents That is a thing isn't it people go out and just get balls back and save money well We need to go over here.

I just need one more person this one this one this one There we go Okay, it's the settings in this game are weird I need to turn down like the music and the sound effects for the dialogue because the dialogue is so So low wait a minute a haunted Mako. Oh This thing's big Okay, I was gonna say you're doing anything because it doesn't seem like you're doing anything It's all looking at me. All right, then when you're gonna glitch out. I may as well just go for you Oh my god. I'm destroying him Now if I was an adult it's a bit like I don't know what game it was that I played But it really doesn't make too much of a difference what level you are because you're at the enemy's always level to what level you are And I can't remember what game that was but it was it wasn't too long ago. I don't know if it was horizon zero dawn.  I wouldn't be surprised got no things There you go Thanks for a more interesting story Look at all of this oh On the true killer of disease right now time to kill everybody. Oh wait. Whoa.

Oh Okay, fine That freaking one barracuda apparently is cut making me in combat All right, yeah, there we go beautiful. Right. Can we fast travel now? I love investment Okay, so do I get anything new for this? No, I just sort of upgrade my regular stats Is there nothing I can do though? Not really. I just collect that stuff to gain XP the higher level I get I'm assuming that means that my health and all those ratings on the right just generally go up You're a hot. Are you a hunted barracuda?  How's this like an enemy? I Mean, I'll take the cheap XP any day. No bless him. Is it cuz I'm stunning them Whoa, I got so much XP for that. Oh That's brilliant. Can I get in here? I have an adult now. I suppose whoosh and mine bite is always better Nums supercharged with gene altering mutagens the shark now has asymmetric on the Be out Okay, so that's that's a thing. I've also got it. Oh another one. Oh I do love me a bit of booty. Well, let's go down here. The bigger the booty the better Oh, we're a level 11 look at that Who understands that she needs to eat essential minerals to stay healthy and grow I do So what else we got here? Okay, so can I can I oh there's a pool? Look at you hogging this all to yourself We I mean she doesn't really make much of a difference. Okay, if I jump if I jump can I just whack her? What she do when she's in the water right is there anybody else gonna come to the pool hi Come to the pool it'll be great fun Okay, oh they get stunned Okay, oh that is that oh god. Oh god. Oh So as soon as I bite them they get stunned, that's why she drowned. Oh now it makes sense Well two out of eight people's good. Oh, they're doing a little dance. That's cute Yeah, oh my god game.

I seem to be blasting through this guy. What do you think am I amazing? Oh, tell me I'm amazing All right, all right more people that jump on are you doing? Can I eat them all without going back in the water is it possible because I I I get health back, right? So can I just like constantly eat them? I Think I can you know. Yeah, I can I can do it. I could I could just stay out Whoo oh God oh god. No, maybe that wasn't such a good idea. I did really well though I got loads of them. That's a speedrunner tactic. No, we got all of that. Let's just yeah, I mean oh Come on. How can you land a shot on me when I'm moving this quick? I'm just I'm just eating the golfing community aren't I apparently that's my mission in life. I gotta get up Haha, I gotta go what they can't follow Where's the pool? Where's the pools up?  I think no We were like level ten two seconds ago and now we're level 12 Hey, yep. I Love Range Rover's They're the sign of middle class and then I have a at least somewhat of a disposable income I've basically got legs at this point And there's another one Bounding towards you. I'm just happy to see you. I'm pretty sure you've glitched out there. You weren't outside. Oh god She's lost her. No I should really get you know what I'm gonna get another bounty on me. I'm gonna get another bounty hunter Sod it. I'm huge BAM tail what bite tail what bite? Oh, you see that? I got it Flugger there. So if I jump bite and then wha-ba Although I don't get to eat them when I do that though. That's the only downside Yes, there we go Beautiful my health is running a little bit. Oh, yeah, I'm just gonna do that I mean look they're taking damage and I'm getting health back But just I'm just charging the boat constantly while bashing the boat Eventually sinks and then they just somehow end up in my mouth. So this is what I'm gonna do It went mild. Oh look at him Pookie Pookie. Oh my god. He's wailing on me Okay, maybe this might be the first one that's gonna give me a little bit of a challenge Oh That's you know what that that's what I worry about every day I worry about getting the blue smarties in me cereal They're the worst ones I don't know if that was true Time to go deep. I ain't hunting anybody. I'm after mackerel. Leave me alone. Whoo. Oh Amaco These aren't a problem anymore. I've just grown too huge. Oh Oh, oh the game could crash What? Oh good. Okay. I'm still level 12. Oh, thank God Disevolution increases how many minerals you gain and health you heal by feeding. Oh, that's what I use it for Hey, yeah, we're gonna upgrade that take that to 50% Take that to 20%. Oh And ooh take that to 25% plus hundred seventy five Are we gonna upgrade again? And that's it. We've fully maxed it 30% mineral and 30% health. So why yes So what else? I mean we got the sonar. I mean we got the max health I mean max health just seems like a good idea, right? Let's go to max health and then let's get 400 boom and 12,000 and 350. Yeah, that's it T5 600 health and 60 boat crew knockback resistance by him. So we've got T5 mineral and T5 hearty and at least I've actually used stuff now as far as your goes I do like the electric. I can upgrade the bat. Oh wait. Hold on. I'm using the boat No, get the electric teeth on the go. I already have them. Okay. Yeah, I can upgrade those So they do more damage. Heck. Yeah, it only cost oil Flip. Yeah, right. Okay. So what we're going for? Oh, yeah, we were over there before it crashed So good news about this game I guess that if it does crash at least on There's not that many makers and if there are makers they don't seem to be a Problem or that much of a problem like when I would come across a crock or at least two of the crocs It was a big issue This is a much nicer. Oh, this is so good. I love this game. Oh my god. I love the game Oh, is that an albino? I thought it was I'm trying to get you. Yeah, there we go Got to get it. So you need the albino mackerel in order to albino anything in order to get the green DNA And the green DNA is what you need for the higher tiers now. I don't think T5 will be Oh, oh, whoa. Bye. Bye Hopping That's great.  Let's go so I can hold. Oh, can I hold you and then No, maybe I don't know.  Anyway, let's go for you And there's one hidden in here Here you see the local bull shark killing pretty much everything in his environment including a meco That's not well. I was a barracuda. I'll take that but I'm gonna kill you as well. I wonder what I need the DNA strands for I Seem to be just doing loads better now. I got him. I got him I want to see what happens when we complete one of those missions like all the way Because we didn't do with the flamingos in the last place if we can kill all the the Gulf people Maybe we'll see what happens if we get something extra Feel like a beanie ever for All these places look the same. I guess Will you let me in? Hello. Thank you. I just want to be in the pool Yeah, look, you've got a pet shark You're like watching me call them the drug lord who had hippos. I can't remember his name was now Wait, are the people here I can consume there are people here get in the water.  You can't fly You know what son at this bit over here seems way better.

It doesn't like Godzilla very much Right Another one. Oh guys, you're watching a speed run Look at this man. Have you ever seen such tactics? Okay, there's a lot of Crocodiles here, but that's not problem. They're only level eight see look at that I have to pull the camera down as soon as I am oh, hello, mr. Croc as soon as it like goes towards the surface Since I start biting I just put the camera down because I know what what it wants to do It wants to lock me in at the surface One more and that is that done. Okay, see change. Oh, so we're getting close to unlocking the next one Gotcha. Oh It's a croc affects crocodile alligator. Oh, kid okey.

It was 2015 when I first came to know that I was suffering from CKD which is a chronicle kidney disease. I was 22 weeks pregnant that time and then I met Dr. Rohan and went through all the tests and when it was confirmed that yes I am suffering from a kidney disease and that was a point when I had to, we had to abort the child.  We then realized that her kidney disease is quite advanced and beyond the point of repair and then finally we had to take the call and put her on dialysis and around two years of ups and downs but she sailed through and if I would put it she was always the single patient always smiling on dialysis no matter what. After two years of dialysis I had to move to Pune due to my husband's job. Within few months I realized that the dialysis which was happening there was not good or I was not getting dialysis properly so that's when we decided to come back to Bangalore and meet Dr. Rohan again. When I saw her again she came back with a lot of swelling in both her upper limbs and when we took her history we realized that she had these catheters stuck down her neck and these were gradually narrowing down over a period of time. I had an honest discussion with her saying I can keep her going for now but it is very important that she has a plan for the future it may not be an indefinite dialysis like this. This was virtually a race against time we were losing accesses and we somehow wanted her to get a transplant and that is when as a ray of hope her brother came forward. The operation was successful and now it has been one year I am fit and fine there are things which I was not able to do earlier so because of this health issue there was a point when I had to leave my job now today I am searching for work and even that is because Dr. Rohan after 4 to 6 months he told me go back to work why are you sitting at home now it is time you should come back to your normal life and I can say yes I am physically fit I am active I can move around I can go wherever I want I can eat whatever I want I can drink whatever I want so I am a tea coffee lover so I can take as much cups of coffee I want. The support system that matters a lot there might be people who leave you but then my family was there my husband every point he was there whether I am shouting at him I am cribbing on anything I am crying he was always there with me. I know that she needed that emotional support from my side that is what I provided all the time whenever she was low I used to give her a boost up whenever I was low at certain times even though she was in pain then she used to boost me up that okay we will sail it through and that is how the entire journey we sail through strongly and now that it is a new sunlight for all of us. We at Manipal have a wonderful team set up by Dr. Bala and we are a team of around 7 to 8 Nephrologists we were confident on our abilities that we would be able to pull this off there was debates because of her weight issues whether we should offer her robotic transplants versus conventional we went ahead with the transplants and she was very keen to wipe the slate clean so 2018 end I told her we will try for the next year she said no I want to start the new year on a clean slate and today when I look back I feel that yes I'm a strong woman that I have faced many things and still I'm standing we have around 10 to 15 deaths per day of patients who are on dialysis awaiting a kidney transplant while there are only around 3,500 transplants being done per year in our country and this is a story where we would want to tell the public that organ donation is virtually safe and it would go a long way in giving a life to our loved ones. I would request everyone watching this video please register yourself to be an organ donor so that you can save somebody's life.


what was the purpose of the handwriting on the wall in Daniel 5? Is there something we can learn from it? Many of you have heard this term the handwriting is on the wall and where we get that from is in Daniel 5 where this wicked king King Belshazzar sees during a party this little drunken feast that he's having and he is using these vessels that were stolen interestingly enough by his father not necessarily his father but someone who he's descended from which is Nebuchadnezzar he's using them and he's doing some I guess many appropriate things and so he looks up and he sees this handwriting on the wall but Bible tells us though that he is kind of lost his strength his weak his knees and hips are weak and so he's discouraged and wondering people see this handwriting on the wall it's this word this many many Techo Ufarson will cover that in just a second but he tries to get people to interpret they can't and so they say well Daniel can and so Daniel comes to him and tells him that I will give you what this is now one of the things that Daniel tries to get him an understanding to see though it's going to be too late one of his forefathers Nebuchadnezzar had this little arrogance about God and did not recognize that God is sovereign and so what did God do? God gave him the heart of a cattle made him graze until he understood that God is Lord of all that God is sovereign and so the lesson should have been learned who here he is a descendant maybe even an immediate descendant of Nebuchadnezzar he didn't get it and so oftentimes in the position that you're in you can bring about pride and so forth and so that's what we see here and so this handwriting is on the wall and he didn't see it he didn't get it which is kind of where we get it I'll tell you why this applies to us in just a little bit but we want to look at what Daniel is told or what Daniel tells him that the meaning is in Daniel 5 25 it says now this is the inscription that was written out many many tekel ufarsin this is the interpretation of the message many God has numbered you and your kingdom and put it into it tekel you have been weighed on the scales and been found deficient Paris which is kind of an interpretation of ufarsin meaning the same thing that your kingdom will be divided and given out over the means and the person now those words would have probably not enough meaning in of themselves but because Daniel is the one that's given interpretation and these people who are debauched as they could be they are not going to understand in any way but he says your kingdom will be given and divided into the means and persons as a matter of fact it happened that night as to where Balthasar is killed that night why is this important well the important that we can learn the important thing that we can learn from it is this we've seen these lessons we've seen many lessons either from other people either in our lives or specifically in the bible and the lessons that we can glean from the things that have been taught to us and we don't get oftentimes the handwriting is on the wall it's kind of worth this this eating the wheat where we get it from it's from here he should have known better he should have known from the lesson that was learned from or should have been learned from Nebuchadnezzar he didn't learn it well he actually did I take it back he did learn he just learned the lesson the hard way we should not be the same way oftentimes the writing is on the wall and in many cases people tell us before we have these prior warnings in prison there are people who will sit and tell you man I saw it coming I knew it I should have done this same thing with people in the hospital who who are going through certain health conditions if they would have just he'd certain warning signs where as we say the writing was on the wall you are now pre-diabetic you are 40 pounds overweight 100 pounds overweight what have you you are doing things that you should not do and you know better the writing has been on the wall and oftentimes God gives us a lot longer than he gave someone like Belchers are and we still don't get it and the hard part is when we who profess to be believers have these falls where the writing was on the wall and we could have even just looked at the the lessons learned from biblical characters and we still don't do not let yourself be so exalted where you think that there is no consequences for what you do be you a Christian or non-Christian even Christians suffer consequences for your actions don't wait too late to where everyone can see the writing on the wall and you don't and then God has to deal with you amen
