Welcome to the weather forecast for the week beginning Wednesday, April 20th, 2022. That's a lot of twos and zeros. I'm Chief Meteorologist John Insworth for Longmont Public Media. Our next lunar phase will be the last quarter moon on Saturday, April 23rd, exactly a week after our Easter full moon, the pink moon, I guess it was called. Don't you look at drought conditions? Very little change except right down here if you look at the southeast edge of the state. Things are getting worse in the Oklahoma, Panhandle, and corner of Texas. And about Panhandle, Texas and southwest Kansas. Nationally, if you take a look at Texas, this New Mexico area, and also in the west, things get a little worse out in all those locations. Not much change around Colorado. A little lessening of drought on the east. There's plenty of rain and lots of storm systems happening out east of us. Taking a look at snow. I wish this was smoother, but it's really hard to get these to fit day to day. So we're watching the scoring along. And right there, we have scooted through peak snow, clumped logically, and holding our own there. I mean, we're kind of going almost level. Maybe we can go back and hit normal out here if we can get a few more systems coming through. That'd be great. And looking at precipitation, we do keep getting snow in the mountains storm after storm, even if not much is happening on the plains at all. So there's a sprinkling along here on I-25, but some good water amounts up in the last week in the mountains. Looking at our severe weather climatology. So this is what's expected going to the first week of April, second week of April, third week of April. A little bit of the severe weather is now creeping into eastern Colorado. So you can see it's almost here that we could get some. May, we certainly can get severe weather. June, I think, is our peak, especially for hail. And taking a look at actual severe weather, most of it's confined to the Oklahoma, Kansas, over to Missouri area. Then it bumps back on Thursday to be most of Kansas, a little bit of Oklahoma. And then on Friday, look at that. It's backing up. The dry line is setting up right on the eastern edge of Colorado with some chance of thunder with that next system for northern Colorado and the western slopes and out of the plains. There's a little dry slot coming in here. That dry slot is also going to matter when it comes to precipitation, and the models do not agree. So for Wednesday, we've got a front drape down, keeping us a little cooler than it was on Thursday. That gets replaced, outside of Tuesday, and then replaced by Thursday because it starts to actually head up to the northeast. It's going to be pretty warm again. There's our next system coming into the Pacific Northwest. There's the Severe Chances in Kansas. And then for Friday, there's the Severe Chances just to our east. They have a snow-rain mix for the mountains and precipitation for the northeast plains. There's that little dry slot. How far up that goes is going to make a very different forecast when I'm staying through Friday through Saturday. I've got my days all next up. The interesting compilation here is our GFS ensemble showing temperatures way above normal at the beginning, and then very cold for the weekend, and then jumping back next week. But it's got the precipitation off by like a day and a half, so I'm not really sure what's going on with this model. It just doesn't quite line up correctly. So for Thursday, the heat comes from this big ridge sitting up over the state. Here comes the next trough and storm system into the west. For Friday afternoon, the low is tracked across northwestern Colorado and up into Wyoming-Nebraska border. The cold front is moving in and a warm front up here in the plains. So Saturday, the next trough digs in, pushing the warm temperatures away and giving us our chance of precipitation. About the best I can find for precipitation though is this with the low now moving up into the Dakotas, mountain snows, and dry in the plains according to the GFS. So yeah, there's just too much dry air coming in. It's kind of disappointing. So let's look over the next 10 days, watch that Thursday ridge. Here comes the trough for the weekend. Got a cut off lobe there and it drags on through. Northwest winds aloft through the weekend and Monday is that southern trough that might be doing something. Then a ridge rapidly reestablishes itself on Tuesday and Wednesday we're up to April 27th, 28th on Thursday. There's a west coast trough out there but we'll see what it does. That's a long ways away week and a half now. Looking at temperatures, as our current front moving out with the warm air racing in for Thursday and Friday, really hot temperatures. Connects cold front pushes in. You can see a very clearly cold air coming back around the lobe. Really strong demarcation down in the southern states and out on the plains. There's a slow moving front though. You can see it just kind of losing along and the heat comes back Tuesday and Wednesday next week for all of Colorado with some really above normal temperatures. This is where we can watch for precipitation and you can see how underwhelming this is. Even though it's a strong storm and we're going to get wind and good temperature change, there's the precipitation in the mountains in a way. It goes up into Canada to do all sorts of great stormy things up there and we just get lingering mountain snows. That could keep out of the snowpack going nicely, keep the moisture coming into the state. We get a lot of the water that we use from the other side of the mountain. Over the next five days, this may be generous but about a quarter inch of water just along I-25 down to about five hundredths of an inch. Nothing out of the plains. Snow, again highest elevations getting stuff. Then for the next 10 days, another little system might bring in the temperature for the mountains. At least they're not totally dry but the eastern plains definitely need it. And the snow, again higher elevations of the central northern southern mountains. So Wednesday we'll go from the 70s up to the 80s on Thursday and Friday before the cold front comes in chances of precipitation overnight into Saturday. We cool down significantly for the weekend and in the beginning of the next week and then we return to the 80s on Tuesday. So for frequent other updates, stumble at the end. And local news. Check out along my leader on Broonfieldleader.com. This has been Chief Meteorologist John Insworth. Tongue tied. Sometimes keep looking out.


Oliver was an average teen. He would stay up late, hang out with friends, and even go out for a drink every now and then. It was all fun and games until he eventually got tired of doing nothing. He decided he would start something productive. A job he thought would be the best choice. He always enjoyed helping out with other people in his community, so he wanted to do something that could be local. There was an elderly couple who looked to be in their 70s who needed help with raking old leaves in their lawn. When they asked him if he'd be interested, he immediately said yes. They told him he could start tomorrow at around 5pm. Oliver was incredibly excited about this. He was finally doing something productive. So, at around 5, he arrived. They gave him a rake and thanked him dearly for doing this. They left soon after for a birthday party. Their lawn was quite large, and because of this there were many leaves. He had brought two garbage bags with him in case one wasn't enough, and he began. Around half an hour into raking, he noticed something at the far end of their lawn. A scarecrow. He didn't mind it at first, but as he got closer, he felt uneasy. It didn't look like an ordinary scarecrow. It had a leather jacket on, torn up jeans, shoes, but no hat. It looked incredibly realistic, and he would have gotten rid of it. However, he ignored it, and assumed it was made by the elderly couple. At around 8.30, the couple had come home. They thanked him and gave him $20. He was about to leave when he asked, So, where did you get that scarecrow? It's pretty creepy. They looked at him puzzled. Then the man said, We don't own a scarecrow. They looked around the yard together and noticed nothing. The scarecrow had vanished. This made Oliver's stomach churn, but they shook it off. They thanked him, said goodbye, and went inside. Two days later, he was asked to work again. Then, he went at the same time and began breaking. That's when he noticed the scarecrow again. But this time, it was different. It was much closer to the house, and had formed a large grin across its face. Luckily, there weren't any leaves next to it, so Oliver didn't need to go over. At 6, he was done. They thanked him. This time, he never told them about the scarecrow. He thought they would have called him crazy. The next day, Oliver was walking home from school. While doing so, he passed by the elderly couple's house. Upon looking, his heart stopped. At least two cop cars were present, and one ambulance. There was caution tape all around, and he could see stretchers being carried out, with bodies covered by a white blanket. He ran up to an officer and asked what had happened. Oliver was told that the couple were murdered last night. The officer asked him if he had noticed anything strange. Oliver was speechless. His voice trembled as he told them about raking leaves, and described the scarecrow. The officers looked at him as he mentioned the black leather jacket that it was wearing. One officer came over with the exact jacket in his hands. The officer asked Oliver if this was the jacket he was referring to. He said yes. The officer holding the jacket put it in the back of one of the cars, and began to explain what may have happened. As it turned out, there was a serial killer on the loose. He seemed to prey on small local towns. He was even spotted a few times, wearing a leather jacket. Now that he had left it, they could finally find out who it was. They thanked Oliver for explaining what he experienced, and he walked back home. When he got to his house, he found a note on his bedroom door. His parents would be gone until tomorrow, and had left some food and money for him. Oliver never left his house that day. He locked all the windows and doors, and even called a friend or two over. He didn't dare go outside. Oliver never mentioned the scarecrow to his friends, and at 10.30 they finally left to go home. He tried to keep his mind occupied, watching movies and playing games, until around 1.30 he finally fell asleep. He was too tired to walk upstairs to his bedroom, so he slept on a couch in the living room. At 4 in the morning, he woke up to the wind coming in from the closest window. His heart pounded as he remembered locking it. Slowly, he walked over and opened the curtains. The window looked to have been broken into sometime that night. The lock on the window had been broken. Oliver froze. All he could think of was that scarecrow, and its grin. Suddenly, he heard scratching. Slowly, he turned around. At the corner of the room was the scarecrow. It was on its feet now, staring at him, and it grinned as it had before.


Hello, citizens of Earth, and welcome to Station 204. So glad to have you aboard this week. And for our tomorrow news, we've got Ryan going to be giving you your SpaceX update. I'm going to be talking a little bit about NASA, giving Boeing some corrections. And we've got our weekly space weather with Dr. Tamethascove. And of course, we want to remind you, before we officially get started, to subscribe to us here tomorrow. Like our videos, set up notifications, and share tomorrow news and our other videos everywhere that you can. So, let's go ahead and get started with your tomorrow news for the week of July 15, 2020. Hey, Ryan, break a leg. Starlink-9 still hasn't launched. However, Cilic-40 has gotten some action, as the Falcon 9 booster, which will be taking the Anacys-2 mission into space, has completed its static fire. And it hasn't been quite in port Canaveral either, as one of B106O's landing legs suffered from the unfortunate forties of gravity when the landing legs were trying to be folded back up by the SpaceX recovery team. I believe that the only thing that was injured during this event was the landing leg, which hit the deck of the drone ship, just read the instructions, with minimal cushioning. And as you can see, these legs are enormous. Next time they are pulling up a leg, it might be just a good idea to just read the instructions. It's starting to look good in Boca Chica, as after months of development, we could be seeing SN5 from anywhere between under 24 hours from now, or whenever they decide to do it. It has been over 320 days since we have last seen something leave the surface of Boca Chica that was actually meant to leave, which was the Starhopper test vehicle. A mass simulator has been installed onto SN5, and although it isn't a cherry-red Tesla roadster, it should do just the job to give SN5 the proper mass that it needs to perform its hop. The high bay where the super heavy booster will be constructed is well into its construction now, which could mean that we can see a super heavy booster in the flesh in not too much time. And of course, as more components are manufactured, more space is needed, so the facility needs to expand. We could see a Starship vehicle fly, that is just, I don't know how to explain the feeling. It feels like it has been such a long journey since 2016, where Musk first announced the original interplanetary transport system design, which then evolved into the BFR, or the big Falcon rocket, and is now known as Starship. However, it has only been four years, which is super quick in aerospace terms. I mean, just look at the space shuttle, we retired that in 2011, and we've only just gotten humans back into space from the US again. But at least the humans on board Station 204 have been keeping us company, so Jared, it's back over to you. Thanks, Ryan. Very good pun in there. I got to say that was very nice, especially with the drums. Now, something else that has also felt like it's been ages since it actually occurred was the Starliner test flight, and NASA and Boeing came together to investigate it, and perform a second review of all the things that went wrong, and they have finally reached their conclusions. Just a quick refresher, back in December of 2019, the first launch of Boeing's Starliner crew vehicle occurred. It was a flawless launch that led to a flawed 48 hours in orbit, due to software errors in the mission elapsed timer, with additional problems occurring with the communication system that would cause losses of space-to-ground feeds, and on top of that, a last-minute catch and patch of software prevented a potential issue with the service module recontacting Starliner before reentry, and causing potential damage to its heat shield. Now, NASA was willing to admit that they may not have caught those software problems because they were very comfortable working with Boeing because they've done a multitude of other projects with them. Boeing says that they're ready to get rolling again, and they're going to be working to implement every single one of the 80 recommendations NASA has put forward, and as was announced several months ago, an additional test flight without crew for Starliner will occur sometime before the end of 2020, and Boeing has said that they'll eat the cost, rightfully so. And if all goes well, the first crewed flight for Starliner can currently be expected in 2021. Now, it's important to note that no matter how much the internet demands it, down-selecting to a sole source provider is a very bad idea. If you have a sole source provider of your transportation to low Earth orbit and they have an anomaly, you're going to be sitting on the ground, and in fact, the current situation is a great example of that. Boeing had an anomaly with Starliner, but SpaceX, they're able to carry astronauts with Crew Dragon, so there you go. That's why you don't want a sole source provider. Switching gears a little bit, the Department of Defense did send out some small-sat launch contracts just a couple weeks ago, but then shortly after that had to rescind those contracts and take them back, and now it's looking like those contracts aren't going to be happening at all. In mid-June, the United States Department of Defense announced that they were awarding $116 million in contracts to six small-satellite launch companies, EVAM, Astra, Expo, Rocket Lab, Space Vector, and VoxSpace, ordering two rideshare missions from each over the next two years. Then at the start of July, those contracts were rescinded due to being handed out without a competitive process, and now it's looking like those contracts are toast entirely. As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to create economic havoc, that $116 million was shifted to a program for small business loans. It's very hard to argue it's not a good idea, but oh, what a heartbreaker for these companies. And the United States Department of Defense has said that they are working to find funding for this program, but to not hold your breath. But a project that has gotten the United States Department of Defense funding and is moving forward involves a portion of the Dream Chaser Spaceplane that Sierra Nevada Corporation is developing. That cargo attachment on the back of Dream Chaser is called Shooting Star. And for the NASA commercial resupply services to missions that Dream Chaser will fly, Shooting Star will be used to carry additional payload and then dispose of trash at the end of the mission. So why is the United States Department of Defense interested in what is essentially a space faring pickup truck bed that burns up on reentry? Well, it's because of a project that they're developing called OO. Yes, UOO, although they're probably not calling it OO, but they are calling it the uncrewed orbital outpost. And that's going to be used as a small autonomous space station for experiments that the United States Department of Defense is interested in performing in space, but maybe not necessarily wanting to have to ride share or take those experiments to the International Space Station. And that's really one way to get into the recycling business. We've got a trifecta of launches to cover this week, so let's go ahead and jump right into space traffic. On July 6th at 0100 Universal Time, a Shavit-2 launcher lifted off from the Palmitzian airbase in Israel, using three stages to reach an unusual 143-degree retrograde orbit. The OFEC-16 satellite was successfully placed into orbit. OFEC-16 is an electro-optical reconnaissance satellite for the Israel Ministry of Defense. The last flight of an orbital-class rocket from Israel was in 2016, and that 143-degree orbit, which is retrograde, meaning it moves in the opposite direction that the Earth rotates, it's used by Israel so rocket stages are safely dropped into the Mediterranean Sea. And special thanks to Yonatan Kanush in tomorrow's Discord server for dropping all of the knowledge about a rocket I admittedly knew nothing about. Heading east to China for a rocket I do know about On July 9th at 1211 Universal Time, the APSTAR-6D communication satellite began its journey to orbit aboard a Long March 3D, departing the Zhixiang Satellite Launch Facility. Less than half an hour after liftoff, APSTAR-6D was successfully deployed into a geostationary transfer orbit. APSTAR-6D carries KUNKA-band communications payloads and will provide services to airlines, maritime companies, and disaster response for China. Wrapping up our space traffic with a spot of bad luck for China, the debut flight of the all-solid-motor Kaijiao-11 rocket lifted off at 04.17 Universal Time on July 10th from the GKRON Space Center. Carrying the 17th Jilian-1 Earth Imaging Satellite and a satellite called Centispace-1S-2, whose purpose is classified, the Kaijiao-11 appeared to have a good first-stage burn, but at some point the launch failed, with China only noting the specific cause of failure was under investigation. And this week the flotilla begins to set sail for Mars. Here are your upcoming launches. And now for this week's Space Weather, here's Dr. Tama Fiskow. Space weather this week is definitely keeping us on our toes. As we switch to our front-side sun, we actually had two different solar storm launches, one in the south, around the 8th and the 9th, and almost the same time one in the northwest, and as both of these launched, the one in the west moved off to the west, but the one in the south moved toward Earth. But boy, we've been challenged trying to model these things because they kind of camouflaged one another. Meanwhile, we've been looking at the solar storm conditions and it looks like the one from the south is actually hitting us now, and I'll talk a little bit more about that in a minute. Now also as we switch to our far-sided sun, you can take a look at that stereo's view. Stereo's pretty much looking at the sun from the side, and you can see the sun looks pretty bland right now. There's not a lot going on, and that means solar flux has dropped back down into the high 60s, which means poor radio propagation on Earth's day side. But then again, that's good news for both GPS users with GPS reception and for all kinds of space traffic. It looks like easily over the next week, everything's going to be in the clear. Now switching to our coronagraph view, this is also the view from stereo A, and Earth is off to the west. The problem is, as stereo continues to orbit towards Earth, things that are even going west of Earth are also off to the west. So when you get multiple solar storms that are kind of going the same direction, they camouflage one another, and you can see that on the 8th and the 9th, you can see all of this junk moving off to the west. Basically everything going north of the Earth's sun line, that is going off to the west of Earth, but everything south of it is pretty much going Earth-directed. So it's been a real challenge to get the models to be able to deconvolve all this stuff so that we can get an accurate prediction time. Switching to our solar storm prediction model, Enlal. Now this is NASA's version of the model, and you're looking down at the sun from the North Pole, with Earth being off to the right here is this yellow circle. Now you can see that big solar storm being launched to the west of Earth. That's the bigger of the two storms, but you can also see kind of a shadowy blue thing moving off toward Earth, and that's the Earth-directed component. And this thing, it looks like it's going to hit Earth right at the beginning of the 14th. As a matter of fact, we're already seeing early signs of that solar storm hitting now, and it could be bringing us some aurora to high latitudes over the next couple of days and possibly down to mid-latitudes over the next day or so before things begin to settle down. For more details on this week's space weather, including when and where you can see aurora or how this solar storm might affect you, come check out my channel or see me at spaceweatherwoman.com. You know what time it is? Yep. That's right. It's time for another Space Flight Bonanza. NASA and the government of Japan have signed an agreement that helps Japan find roles to contribute in the robotic and human exploration portions of NASA's upcoming Artemis program. The Japanese Aerospace Exploration Agency has, in the past, proposed developing a pressurized rover capable of supporting two astronauts for up to 14 days on the lunar surface. So we'll see if that's what they end up doing. NASA has also taken recommendations from an independent review board that last year looked over the agency's planetary protection protocols for Moon and Mars missions. The Moon was originally set at Category 2, which means any potential biological contamination of a spacecraft must be documented, but there's no standards as to how much contamination is too much contamination. Adopting the recommendation, NASA has now set the vast majority of the Moon as Category 1, which means that there are zero requirements to follow. Category 2 still exists though in the polar regions, areas at 86 degrees north latitude and above, along with areas at 79 degrees south latitude to the lunar south pole. Also set to Category 2, the Apollo landing sites. Please do not disturb the regolith. NASA did not implement any changes to Mars' current levels of planetary protection, Category 4, but NASA is looking for groups to study on how to handle the planetary protection requirements for Mars, especially once humans land. From the perspectives of astrobiologists and astrogeologists, the moment an airlock opens, that's it, Mars is contaminated. And having been to very remote places in my jeep and seen litter, I can assure you that's damn true of us humans. One final thing before we wrap up tomorrow news this week, comet Neo-wise is remaining bright, and if you're in the Northern Hemisphere, you may actually be able to see it. If you're in the Southern Hemisphere, very, very sorry, you are out of luck. It is on the cusp of naked eye visibility, even from moderately light polluted skies. So if you'd like to get a chance to try and go see it, highly recommend that you do that, especially now that it's moved into the evening sky. And the way you're going to want to observe comet Neo-wise with your own eyes is a little tricky, and you might have never heard of it, and it's called averted vision. I'll demonstrate by saying that the camera in front of me is comet Neo-wise, and if I use averted vision, I'm not actually looking directly at comet Neo-wise, but I'm still getting light from it, and that light is hitting the rods in my eyes, which is very good at picking up low light levels. And that's what you want with an object like comet Neo-wise. It's not really particularly bright, but it is still something that you can see properly in moderately light polluted skies or better with averted vision. Even a cheap pair of binoculars helps, but if you want a really good view, I highly recommend a telescope, and you can even do what I did here if you've got the tech for it, which is to take some nice images. That one is going on Instagram for sure, and we'll include a link in the description for where to check on how to observe comet Neo-wise from where you live, because it really depends on your latitude, and for those of you in the Southern Hemisphere, very sorry, but it's the Northern Hemisphere's turn to have an actual naked eye comet since you've been hogging them all since Hail Bob.

Hello and welcome to the session. In this session we are going to discuss the following question and the question says that Reflect the trapezoid PQRS having coordinates P21Q41R54 and S14 over y-axis graph P'Q'R'S'. We know that in reflection the point and its image at the same distance from the line of reflection any coordinates x, y on reflection in y-axis becomes minus x, y. With this key idea let us proceed to the solution. In this question we are given a trapezoid PQRS having coordinates P21Q41R54 and S14. Here is the given trapezoid PQRS with vertices P, Q, R and S. We have to reflect it in y-axis and the key idea we know that in reflection the point and its image are at the same distance from the line of reflection. We also know that any coordinates say x, y on reflection in y-axis becomes minus x, y. Let us now find the coordinates of the image points using the above rule. Now we see that vertex P has coordinates 21, its image P' we have coordinates minus 21 on reflection in y-axis. We see that the x coordinate changes sign whereas the y coordinate remains the same. Similarly vertex Q has two coordinates 41 and its image Q' will have two coordinates minus 41 on reflection in y-axis. Vertex R has coordinates 54 which on reflection in y-axis becomes R' with the coordinates minus 54. And similarly vertex S has coordinates 14 which on reflection in y-axis becomes F' with the coordinates minus 14. Now let us plot points P', Q', R' and F' on the graph. Point P' has two coordinates minus 21. So we label this point as P'. Point Q' has two coordinates minus 41. So we label this point as Q'. Point R' has two coordinates minus 54. So we label this point as R' and similarly point S' has two coordinates minus 14. So we label this point as S'. Now we join P' to Q' Q' to R' R' to S' and S' to P'. So we get the trapezoid P' Q' R' S' as reflected image of trapezoid PQRS in y-axis. We know that in reflection the point and its image are at the same distance from the line of reflection. See here every point is at equal distance from y-axis. Like point Q is four units from y-axis so its image Q' is also four units away from y-axis in opposite direction and lie exactly on the same line as Q. This completes our session. Hope you enjoyed this session.


Hey, Psych2Goers, how much do you know about sex? Whether you know a lot or not much, there are quite a lot of interesting things sex can do to our minds and bodies that you might not know. What are these things you may ask? Well, here are six things sex does to your mind and body. Number one, sex may help increase your cognitive capacity. According to a study published in the Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin, simply thinking about a sexual encounter may enhance analytical thinking. The study states that it suggests that when in love, people typically focus on a long-term perspective, which should enhance holistic thinking and thereby create thought, whereas when experiencing sexual encounters, they focus on the present and on concrete details, enhancing analytic thinking. Because people automatically activate these processing styles when in love or when they experience sex, subtle or even unconscious reminders of love versus sex should suffice to change processing modes. Another 2010 study published in the PLOS-1, using rats, found that sexually active rodents had more neurons in the part of their brain called the hippocampus when compared to virgin rats. This part of the brain has an important role in memory and learning. Researchers noticed that when sexual activity later stopped among rodents, they lost those advancements in brain power. Number two, sex may boost self-esteem. Everyone's different, but according to psychologists, sex may aid in boosting your self-esteem. Psychologist Ryan Anderson explained in Psychology Today that lack of sex can lead to feelings of angst, self-doubt, and inadequacy. And there is strong evidence that feelings of self-worth and identity are strongly associated with sex. He goes on, explaining that social pressure may come into play with this.  Everyone's scenario is different. For some sex isn't a priority and might not affect their self-esteem as much as others. But for others, sex can't help but make you feel good both in mind and body in more ways than one. Number three, frequent sex may help heart health. According to a study published in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health, frequent sex may decrease a male's risk for fatal heart attack. Results from the research study revealed that males who had sex two times or more a week had a lesser chance of a fatal heart attack than those who had sex not quite as much. The study noted additional findings on strokes and their connections to frequent sex, stating middle-aged men should be heartened to know that frequent sexual intercourse is not likely to result in a substantial increase in the risk of strokes and that some protection from fatal coronary events may be an added bonus. Number four, it can alter your pain perception.  Yup, and it's all thanks to a part of our brain called the hypothalamus. According to some research, sex may alter your pain perception, making you feel less pain. The section of the brain called the hypothalamus releases the feel-good hormone oxytocin, also known as the love hormone, during orgasm or arousal. Researchers at Rutgers University found that this release of oxytocin may help women feel less pain. This can be especially true during menstruation. Another study published in the Bulletin of Experimental Biology and Medicine found that extremely low doses of oxytocin reduce pain sensitivity in men, lowering one's pain threshold by 56.5%. Number five, sex can take work for long-term partners. There's a popular belief among many young people that sexual satisfaction can diminish with time and long-term relationships. But it actually just takes a bit of work. Recent research from the University of Toronto recognized that effort is required if you wanna have a great sex life with your long-term partner. So don't expect it to be wonderful every time if you don't put in some work every now and then. A healthy relationship with communication and effort can equal a healthy and happy sex life. And number six, sex before an important event may lower your level of stress. Looks like sex may just help your grades on your university final exams. A 2006 research study published in the journal Biological Psychology had subjects take part in stressful activities. These included giving a public speech or taking a difficult math quiz.  This was then compared to those who had no sex, those who masturbated, and those who had sexual contact without intercourse. The study even claims that penile vaginal intercourse, PVI, but not other sexual behavior is associated with better psychological and physiological function.

This study found that the Parker-Flexit trademark stylet, PFS, was associated with longer intubation times and greater difficulty in intubating patients with a simulated difficult airway when compared to the GlideWrite registered rigid stylet, GRS. Additionally, the PFS was associated with higher rates of assisted ETT advancement compared to the GRS. This article was authored by G1Bock, Yanji No, Jian Kim, and others.


Welcome, friends. We're really delighted that you're here today to learn more about the Kahn Hogan Award for Entrepreneurial Leadership. I'm Cheryl Mitchell. I was one of the people lucky enough to work with Kahn. I was his deputy for 10 years at the Agency of Human Services and really had a chance to come to admire his leadership style but also his ability to include many people and really to get things done for Vermonters. So we set up this award in his name and this is the last chance you will have to nominate people. This is year 10 and it's been my total pleasure to finally have a chance to meet HB Lozito, who I've heard about and never had a chance to see him person. So thank you very much. Well, thank you so much and it's lovely to meet you and be with you as well. Cool. OK, well, what I thought we'd do for the next maybe 10, 15 minutes is learn a little bit more about your work and how you came to that work. And then we'll switch gears a little bit and talk about the award. But maybe you could start by just sharing the work of Out in the Open and how you came to be doing it. Yeah, absolutely. I love talking about Out in the Open and about our community and work. So always happy to start there. Yeah, HB Lozito. I'm the executive director. It's actually coming up on 10 years that I've been in my position actually on April 15th of 2014. I started in this role.  We're based, I live in Brattleboro. We do a lot of work in southern Vermont. But we also have staff across Vermont and now also in mid-coast and central Maine, which is where I grew up, which is really exciting for me. And we are a multiracial grassroots, mostly working class organization focused on movement building and capacity building for rural LGBTQ people. So we really focus on building up the community and connection, visibility for our community, and making sure that our folks have access to the power and kinds of resources that they need to live happy and connected and fulfilled lives. So that's the work of our organization. We do that in many, many different ways. It's something that I've really loved about being Out in the Open. Our community and my board members and our coworkers have really trusted me to follow my interests and passions and now the interests and passions of the staff members that we have as well and knowing what it is that we need and then manifesting that in work that supports the community to hopefully get their own needs met as well. So some of that is through creative projects in oral history and looking at how are we using cultural practices and arts-based practices to gain access to power and do community organizing. Some of that is traditional peer support programs, so identity-based things where people are offering peer support to each other and connecting around that. Some of it's just fun going swimming and sharing a meal together and some of it's advocacy and all manner of different things, but really looking at that primary intersection of ruralness and LGBTQ experiences. You said that you stopped by at the State House lawn. Yeah. Was that part of something you were involved in getting going? No, but we do enjoy a lot of really positive relationships with the many other LGBTQ focused organizations here in Vermont. So that's being put on by our friends at Outright who do work with LGBTQ youth. And I love when I don't have to put something on and I can just stop by and support and see some folks that I know and care about and do some cheerleading for our youth. So we didn't have a part in that, but it was really nice to be able to be up here and stop by and say hi to folks. So can you tell us a little bit about your youth? You said you came from Maine. What brought you to doing this work? Yeah, so I grew up in rural central Maine where my mom's side of the family has been for many, many generations. And I had a really positive experience as a young person living there. I'm still really close with all of my best friends from high school and a lot of them are LGBTQ folks now as well and that's been really exciting to be able to grow and learn together and support each other both as young people and now as adults. And yeah, did a lot of creative work as a young person as well, really supported to just explore what it was that I was interested in and passionate about actually being at the state house was reminding me of some of the work that we did when I was in high school in eighth grade. We called it, then we called it the civil rights team and I wasn't out at that time but I was really interested in what they were doing and talking at that time as well a lot about support for LGBTQ youth in the state of Maine. And yeah, it was a lot of my early experiences and being exposed to that community and just starting to learn about LGBTQ people and starting to learn about LGBTQ people in rural places and I think that for me coming to out in the open was not explicitly part of the work the organization was doing and so brought that in of really being able to say like, okay, when I was living in the city I felt like I couldn't be my full self who had rural interests and wanted to live in a rural place and when I was living in smaller communities also not always having the amount or type of LGBTQ community that I wanted and so feeling like, all right, let's put those things together. Yes, exactly and build an organization that worked for all kinds of people who were having the same kind of shared experience that I was. So what brought you to Vermont? I had been farming actually after about 10 years on the West Coast was back in central Maine in freedom doing some organic farming there and then it was November and I didn't have a job anymore and was sort of looking for, okay, what's next? And some folks, friends that I knew from that had been living in San Francisco, Bay Area but grew up in Vermont had bought a house in Brattleboro and it was really big and they needed some people to come and stay in it so I thought, let me come down and check it out and yeah, for folks who haven't been to Brattleboro it's a very close knit and really wonderful community so pretty immediately sort of met my people and was like, all right, there's a lot of folks who are And very creatively oriented too, right? Absolutely and just really interested in being with each other and supporting each other and figuring out what does community really mean and enacting that and so that was about 13 years ago and it's really felt like home ever since. And has there been involvement with the retreat farm? Yeah, we were one of their, gosh, what did they call it? It wasn't community roundup but they do every week in the summer they have a food truck roundup where they have, it's a great community event and last year they started doing having nonprofit partners come and so we were one of the recipients of that last year which was great to be able to share more about out in the open with the folks who were there to enjoy some music in a beautiful spot so love the retreat farm. I'm there with my friends' kids pretty much every day when they were little so we are all mourning the loss of Carlos the Ox but it's a beautiful spot to be. But aren't there two little, what are they, getting two calves? Yeah, they did just get some calves, yes they did. Yes, they did. So talk about out in the open grew pretty fast once you were the director. Can you talk about your leadership in making that happen? Yeah, it's really interesting to hear that as people's perspective. I've heard that quite recently and I think from my perspective I'm like, oh, we grew pretty slowly. So when I started it was a half time job. I was there 20 hours a week and often working two and three other jobs at the beginning and really getting things going and I think we've, I don't know, Yankee ingenuity is always a phrase that's in my mind and I feel like we employed a lot of that especially in the early time. Let's figure out how to do what we wanna do with the amount of resources that we have. A lot with a little to make a lot of folks in nonprofit world do and really relying on what are, what are the skills and knowledge that I have? What are the skills and knowledge that our community members have and what can we make happen with that? So it was, I was our only paid staff person for the first five years that I was there and then we got a wonderful capacity building grant from some folks in a national LGBTQ network called CenterLink to hire our second full-time person. Just really exciting and that sort of has really springboarded us into the growth that we're experiencing now. Last year we were nine full-time staff, now we're seven full-time staff and really exploring, yeah, what is the right size for us? I think we don't wanna grow for growth's sake. We wanna keep being led by, what do we need, what does our community need and what's the right size to meet those kinds of things. So yeah, have really just tried to follow that and maintain a high degree of flexibility and know that, yeah, I think if we're, we've been able to do that work by being our genuine and authentic selves and knowing that will attract people to us who can and wanna support the work in many different ways. And moving your services back to Maine as well as from what New Hampshire, when did that start? Yeah, it was something we'd been thinking about for a really long time. I had wanted to do more work in the places where I grew up and the only person in my family who doesn't live there, so I love having an excuse to be there very often but also sort of seeing, yeah, knowing there were people there who needed the kind of support and programming that we offer. We were lucky enough to receive a large national grant from a new funder called the New Pluralists, which is a consortium of different funders and they funded us for two years to expand work there so we were able to hire a couple of full-time people and then sort of do the same thing we've been able to do in Vermont, continue attracting people to us who both want to participate and support financially very often. For us, those are the same people, which we love and that's how we've really been able to grow that work there, which is wonderful. It's flexible support that allows us to be guided by the trust and relationships we have within our community to do what we need. Cool, so hearing you talk, I can understand why you were selected by the committee. I'm wondering if you could talk a little bit about as being a Hogan Award recipient made any difference for you or for your organization? Yeah, absolutely. I actually just, one of my nominators I ran into at the state house this afternoon and was really just, yeah, a lovely reminder of the community of people that supported me to be a Hogan nominee and a Hogan Award winner. Even just, I think the validation from people outside our community of how important this work is, we know it's really important and to be able to highlight our community and the work of our organization on a broader stage than we usually have has absolutely been really useful. Even connections with folks on the committee, we had an opportunity come our way this year where I needed to get in touch with Will at Vermont Community Loan Fund and say, hey, can we explore some things? Are you able to support us and having that relationship from someone who was on the committee made that a lot easier. I think I might have been more nervous to approach them and because we knew each other from this experience, that was really easy. Other folks on the committee, yeah, have been becoming more involved and out in the open and that's been really lovely and wonderful as well. So definitely in those kinds of ways. And then I think for myself, I had been aware of this award when it started and really in the back of my mind is it's been like, that's really amazing. There's not a lot of awards that provide for an individual person who's been working in community, this kind of financial support. Usually it's, okay, here's a little something for you and here's, you know, and that was really useful for me as a working class person who had been working in my position part-time for a long time to have also that kind of support. Amazing for myself. Yeah, it's been lovely. It's been interesting to me how differently people use it. Some people use it to travel, some use it to pay off medical bills, some use it to hire executive coaches. It's been the gamut. I think when we first started it, we thought people would get working cars. That was the fantasy. Absolutely. So people in the non-profit world need a better car. And because the, so the applications are going to be due by June 27th of this year. And we think they'll probably be a big Shabang celebration because it's the last year. Do you have any advice for people about submitting nominations? I mean, tell your story about who you are is that's, I think that's what I did in my, or didn't do, that's what I had other people do for me. But yeah, gather those people who know you and your story really well and can just tell people about what it is that you do and how you do it. And I think that's the thing. I think it's been wonderful to connect with other awardees as well and be able to see those, yeah, just like threads of integrity and hard work and interest in our community. And I think those things come through in a nomination, the nominating, the committee is really wonderful as well and feel like I've loved just the process of connecting with those folks from having lunch at Jamet's house and meeting everybody and just, yeah, deep interest in people and then who folks are as an individual person in addition to the community work. So that's the advice that I would give for people be yourself and have folks who can tell your story. So if you're watching and you wanna nominate somebody, it will be on the Vermont Community Foundation website under grants, available grants. And if you need any help, just call them up. They'll tell you how to do it. If you're having any technical glitches, they'll tell you how to do it. And I also wanted to thank you for setting us up with ORCA. I've never been here and the same thing. If any of you have public service announcements or information you wanna get out to the public, please contact your local community access station. They are incredible. We're grateful to the people here. Absolutely, love Public Media in Vermont, all kinds of it. Absolutely. Yes, yes, we're very lucky. And thank you, HB, for taking the time to come all the way up from Brattleboro today to talk with me. Absolutely, yes, thank you so much. Appreciate it, very much. Hope the rest of your year is great. Thank you.


Hey everyone, this is Mike Kramer of my capital of the weekly check-in today is August 8th It's around 5 o'clock New York time US markets are closed So all eyes will be turning towards the big US CPI report this Thursday August 10th at 8 30 a.m You're also going to be getting initial jobless claims that morning as well Which have been something the markets been paying a lot of attention to as well CPI month-over-month headline looking for 0.2 percent in line with last month's estimates CPI X food and energy up 0.2 percent in line with last month CPI year-over-year is expected to accelerate to 3.3 percent from 3 percent last month CPI X food and energy expected to rise 4.7 percent down to 10th from last month So it's interesting that I noticed at the CPI year-over-year estimate for the core was that you have the average just above the 4.7 so you want to keep an eye on this number and The other point being is that the number one rated analysts From TD securities sees it at a 4.8. Everyone else is at 4.7 So always worth noting when the number one rated analysts You know kind of is a little bit ahead of the a little bit above the crowd So something to at least be aware of when we look at pricing and swaps At least based off of inflation swaps. We're looking for a 3.2 percent number That would be a tenth lower than the estimates for 3.3 percent from the analysts What is important to note is that currently we're looking for a further acceleration and CPI in August with the rate climbing to 3.6 percent and so this number here potentially represents Has some level of importance not so much just for July But where the market's going to then see August as a result because if the number should come in it What analysts are looking for a 3.3 percent? Does that push the outlook for August higher if it should come in higher than 3.3 percent? You know does that push August even higher and obviously if it comes in it as the market's expecting probably These numbers don't change very much and of course you can see the September number at about 3.4 percent So the next couple months are going to be potential for CPI headline to Re-accelerate before coming back down later in the year. So this is something to pay attention to Again, one reason why you're seeing these adjustments higher is because you're seeing oil prices getting very close to Breaking out of what's been a trading range at around 83 dollars now for some time And if you were to see oil break above this 83 range It could result in oil rising to the low to the mid 90s And that could certainly put even more upward pressure on these inflation outlooks because again, these are headline Inflation before we get into too much details Regarding the the technicals and the trends and such it's worth pointing out that number one We have a couple of things going on here The first thing that's going on here is that today we tested the lower Bollinger band So we went from a condition of being Severely overbought to a condition now of at least being oversold from the standpoint of touching the lower Bollinger band Additionally, we are now very getting very close to the 50-day moving average Which could also be another support region and third when we look at the 10-day exponential moving average You can see that this has been a very big support level for the NASDAQ as it's been rising here It served as support. You can see back here though. It clearly gap below And is now trading Firmly below the 10-day exponential moving average So this 10-day exponential moving average as you can see on Friday Acted as a resistance level and this is something to take note of Especially as we move forward for tomorrow and into the CPI report on Thursday where this 10-day exponential moving average is because again, this could act as Either a resistance level or if you were able to gap above it could be an indication that there has been a change in Trend to being more bullish from Bearish after this 5% or so decline that we've seen additionally on top of these moving averages and such you can see that the the NASDAQ is now Coming up along this low lower trend line which also coincides with the 50-day moving average So this 50-day moving average can serve as support from two standpoints number one It serves as a standpoint from where the 50-day moving averages But it's also a representation of where this this trend line is at least off of this March 13th low and So if you were to see a gap below this trend line tomorrow or Thursday It likely sets up a challenge and a test of this lower trend line down here at around 14,000 14,130 or so Secondly, there's also some more significance up at these levels as well because here you can see that there's a Was a support resistance zone back from the June 15th highs you can see we tested it once tested it twice Finally when we got through we got that big rally Then we came back down tested us to support a couple of times and as of today We gapped below that trend line and you can see we even came back up to it, but we didn't go through it So this is also another big level here at 15,300 Ideally if you're bullish you want to see the index Gap above these levels take out this high at around 15,400 fairly quickly and easily tomorrow You want to be able to see the 10-day exponential moving average also be taken out at around 15,000 call it 450 And that could lead to a further gap fill may be back towards 15,680 or so, but barring that if you don't get those Conditions met it seems more likely than not that if this breaks We're looking at a much deeper decline Momentum has clearly shifted and rolled over from bullish to bearish. You can see the bearish Divergence here and here you can also see the breaking of the uptrend in the RSI also signaling a change in trend When we move over to the Dow Jones industrials We can see that the Dow Jones industrials have this big, you know, 13 14-day advance that finally broke We came back. We surpassed the highs But again, we then now have traded lower off of those highs Again, basically what we're looking at right here is this support region that comes into play around this 35,000 area so that's you know worth noting because again after 35,000 We're talking about going back to 34,600 and that's an important level because this was a level that You know, we struggled with for some time That was the big level that we tested back in the middle of June We weren't able to get through we tested it here and begin the last year So this is a big level because if we come back to this 34,600 region and if for some reason let's say we end up and we end up failing and trading through it That's an indication that there's probably more selling to come So this is a big level of support that really needs to be watched Especially tomorrow and going into Thursday likewise if you take out this high at 35,000 for 75 There's a chance that you can revisit the recent highs at 35,600 You know and when we take a look at the the Dow just like we did on the Nasdaq You can see that we're not we didn't reach as severely overbought conditions The Dow Jones right now is just flirting with the 20-day moving average The Dow was also hasn't really firmly broken the 10-day exponential moving average So all in all you could still argue that the Dow is still has a bullish bias to it again Based off of where we are right now based off of these cycles If you see that these levels start getting taken out and this level down here around 35,000 is challenged tomorrow It's likely going to indicate. We're going to see lower levels 34,000 34,400 34,500 like I previously mentioned When we look at some other things going on and another reason why we may be looking at a scenario where we begin to see US markets struggle is because number one we've seen the dollar begin to re-strengthen The dollar has started to strengthen against the euro. We can see that there's a a trend line right here Which is of importance. You can see that the the dollar is is Basically the euro is sitting on this trend line There's also another trend line that's already been broken in the euro, which is at this point in time here So we have you know this sort of long-term Strength right now in the euro which suggests that this is a very big level while on the short term We've seen already a breakdown so if we're going to see again the euro sort of regroup itself and Find that this is going to be a level of significance We could rally back to this trend line here at one point at 110 Likewise a break of this trend line at 109 and a half call it probably leads to a further decline Backtown towards 108 and a half and again We can see that the euro got extremely overbought from a technical basis We can see that the euro is now trading well below the 10-day exponential moving average that moving average has been acting as resistance And so that means that to get to get the euro moving higher. We need to see that level broken We can see that the euro also got extremely overbought we're not quite oversold because we haven't really hit that lower Bollinger ban and The euro is also, you know testing the 50-day moving average So there's a lot of things going on right here that suggests that perhaps You know this is a very big level and a very big potential change in trend for the euro if this if this all starts to break Down and so that that makes, you know, this 108 and a half region rather critical Because if we break these levels here, we test 108 and a half. We break that we're looking at 105 Likewise upside is going to be difficult right now with 110 80 or so being the big level to watch Additionally, we've seen something similar in the British pound where again, you can see that Here's your your sort of medium term uptrend. We've come up to that We've broken that uptrend. We came back up to it retested it and at least to this point we failed We also have seen that momentum has started to shift from the pound from being bullish to bearish with this breakdown in the RSI we can see that the 50-day moving average again is a big level of support at this region that is now acting as Resistance when we look at the 10-day exponential moving average firmly trading below it now It has also been a resistance level and like the euro like the Nasdaq The British pound got to be overbought as well tested the lower Bollinger ban already Came back up got that bounce and it almost looks as if now the pound is back to potentially going lower Because it's becoming a little bit more clear that you know these central banks the BOE the ECB and the Fed are all Getting closer to their terminal rates who finishes, you know first May not matter But what is becoming also clear is that the US is a little bit in a stronger position from an economic standpoint and that's favoring You know moves back into the dollar not only that but and if we just look at your Positioning from a standpoint of where are where is all of the you know? Where is all the money right from look at your euro future positioning? You can see that very very net long right not much really position here from from a short position It looks like from a non-commercial position Everyone right now is really net long the euro and that means that the euro going lower is probably Going to be the pain trade here if you start seeing it break down And so again that that likely means that this dollar index which appears to have actually shown signs of Breaking out just more recently today could maybe be back to climbing towards 103 and a half And finally if we just take a look at the yen you can see that the yen You know got a really big boost whenever one's looking for the BOJ to lift the yield curve control Which they certainly did although they didn't do it I think in the manner that's really created the most potential upside to the to the to the 10-year JGB yet You can see that there's been an initial surge in the JGB but the but very quickly the BOJ has come in and Already started doing bond buying operations to kind of keep the 10-year from getting going too far too fast And that has allowed basically some of the strengthening We see in the end to be unwound and you're starting to see again here You can see there was rumors and speculation about it Then we started to come up then we came into the meeting we sold off the yen strengthen pretty materially We got down to this 137 area now We're moving back up and looks like we're getting ready to test this resistance zone Here at around 144 to 145 Again, if you see the end continue to move up past 144 and a half to this 145 region. It's probably got a while a ways to go higher You couple a yen weakening with a euro weakening with a pound weakening that means major US dollar strength Again, that's going to be negative for stocks overall That's also going to be negative for the S&P 500 which you can see has broken an uptrend has Also has a little bit further to go in terms of the 50-day moving average has broken some already big support levels so far It's holding on to this support level around 44 60 But if we look at the Bollinger band also tested the lower Bollinger band the 10-day exponential moving average again Has started to serve as resistance. You can see that there's also a bearish divergence, which is formed on the RSI So overall there just seems to be potentially big changes in trend coming in this marketplace and it could mean Stronger dollar weaker yen weaker euro weaker pound weaker weaker US equities as the dollar Strengthens and financial conditions really start to tighten again. That's something that we haven't seen now probably since SVV the collapse of SVB. Anyway, that's all I have best of luck this week. Bye


Hi everyone, Joe for jazby's casebreaks.com coming at you with a four box break of 2022-23 Bowman University Chrome basketball. Random letter break number nine. The final four boxes of this case right here. The final four boxes of the case. Do I have all the names of the p, I need all the names here. And I'm gonna post the next video in a moment. All right, so big thanks to this group for getting in on the action. There are the letters right there. There's also a little special we were doing tonight only the final five spots we're gonna randomize and the name on top is gonna win an extra spot after five, one and a four, five times. One, two, three, four. And once more, fifth and final time after five gave with the extra spot. Congrats. And now we can randomize names and letters. So let's roll it and randomize different dice roll one and a five, six times for names and letters. One, two, three, four, five and six. We got Matthew down to Matthew after six. One and a five, six times for the letters. One, two, three, four, five and six. We got C up there, F down here, the whole CV, the curriculum, I don't think that phrase is as common here. Maybe in the academic world, maybe in England. Matthew with C, Nicholas with T, Tristan with P, Gabe with B, Nathan with W and Z, Chad with J, Gabe with no, Chad last spot mojo A, Nathan with S, Chad with V, Nathan with R, Matthew with D, Simon LH, Nicholas EG, Simon M, Nathan K and Matthew F. Let's alphabetize by letter and we're gonna pause video just for a moment. When we come back, we're gonna see if there's any trades and then the break itself, stick around, B, R, B. All right, welcome back, ladies and gentlemen. No deals were done. So that list right there remains the same. Victor does have a base card, Chad, but it's short printed, so if we pull one, I think they're going for hundreds of dollars. However, I'm gonna burst your bubble here just out of in the interest of being nice so you don't raise your expectations too high during this break. I think the first third of this case, Chris Jaspi did pull a Victor Wenbenyama base card and an autographed redemption. Not to say that can't be a second one, but just a fair warning. I think one of them sold for something for 500 bucks, yeah, four or 500 bucks. I think one of them the other day sold for a lot higher than that, but I think they'll probably normalize down to about four or 500 bucks. That sounds about right. Do I believe there could be woolly mammoth deep in Siberia? That's a good question. I say no, not in the way that we would think of a woolly mammoth. Possibly a cousin of the woolly mammoth, but I don't know. Those are also migratory creatures, right? They would migrate a lot. I'd be hard for them to not have been spotted at this point, unless there's maybe like just a small herd of woolly mammoth. You know what Chad, my duty as a friend, I just wanted to let you know.  I had my hopes up, the entire four boxes. And now we've just tempered expectations. Under promise, over deliver. Yeah, what was the reason why they're trying to bring the woolly mammoth back? Is that a good idea? I'm watching Jurassic Park right now. That's a very clear, one of the clear cautionary tales, not to do that sort of stuff. You know, would it be like introducing an Australian insect into an American ecosystem? Like what damage that could do? We got something here. I'm not sure what this is, but it's flipped around. Are the autos flipped around? Are they not flipped around? I don't know. We got Mackay, Ashton, and Langford going to Simon in the letter M, 311 out of 499. How is bringing back the woolly mammoths help with climate change and fix the carbon footprint? All right, behind Nick Smith Jr. is Mark Mitchell to 150. That's just a number card that goes to Simon in the letter M. The Invicta, Nick Smith Jr. There's our first Caitlyn Clark. First of many, I hope, for Matthew in the letter C. She's pretty good. Pretty good ball player. And we've got a Duran Holmes to 299, Aqua, Shimmer. Wave, Shimmer. Purple shimmers are not numbered by. I think that's Shimmer, and this is Wave, right? I don't know if I have the hard drive space to remember all of that. All right, proponents of reanimation, say it is ultimately a conservation tool. Their goal is to adapt existing ecosystems to radical modern environment spaces. Wait, that towel told me nothing. The goal is to adapt existing ecosystems to radical modern environmental changes, such as global and possibly reverse those, but how is the William Mammoth specifically gonna make a radical change to the ecosystem? Tell George Church, Professor of Genetics at Harvard Medical School and Scientific American, tell that dude to stop giving us the science speak and give us some real talk, you know? We're not all eggheads like him, Rex. When's the last time someone's used the word egghead? What does that even mean? Why were science nerds eggheads? That doesn't say anything. I don't know, keep reading that article. What movie is this? Some girl named Venus on a laptop. We're opening an admissions email, Cal Arts. Someone should shed some light on this William Mammoth situation. Here's Mattis Bazellus, Raywave, Autograph, another M for Simon. 34 out of 199, and another Caitlin Clark. We got Posh Alexander, 164 out of 199. You think there's a baby Alexander and a ginger Alexander and a sporty Alexander? Posh goes to Tristan. That's a Spice Girls show, please, I'm telling you. I'm not gonna hear too many of those. That's the kind of stuff you get here at Jaspy's Cate Sprakes. All right, all right, all right. Rex with some good information here. For example, reintroducing William Mammoths to the Arctic could keep the region cooler by eating dead grass that's enabling the sun to reach spring grass whose deep roots prevent erosion, increasing reflected light by felling trees which absorbs sunlight, punching through the insulated snow that freezing air penetrates the soil. There's Chris Livingston. Who's funding this again? I mean, all right, rewilding extinct species or returning them to their original habitats will support local economies, ecologies and help them reverse the effects of climate change. Hmm. There's Jared Bynum. 99 out of 99. Letter J, Chadah with J. What if those species went extinct for a reason? I suppose the William Mammoths is not really an invasive species, is it? It's not like the South Asian carp. Is that a thing? Or a murder hornet? Is it the South Asian carp? It's some kind of carp. It's like devastating rivers and lakes of their natural fish species. Maybe we should reanimate the ancient, the ancient predator of the carp and reintroduce that into our water system. I mean, I see where this guy's, this William Mammoth dude is going to get it. But I feel like, I mean, I don't know, I don't have the data. Who am I? But it's like, it's a long leap from trying to, you know, what amounts to lawn mowing in the Arctic. Seems like a lot of work to get to that point. And then what, they're going to keep the William Mammoth just in that area. They're not going to let it roam free, lest it develop a taste for redwood trees and then destroys our redwood tree population, thus not being able to oxygenate the planet. Yeah, I feel like he's using climate change as an excuse. I feel like, yeah, he just wants to make a William Mammoth. But I feel like saying, oh yeah, but think about this, climate change. We should, if he's reanimating anything, he should reanimate, he should reanimate Nikolai Tesla and maybe get some, maybe figure out a way to get some more clean energy going here. I mean, he'll have some new ideas. There's Artereo Morris or maybe help us figure out cold fusion. It's the 499 that's going to go to Chad in the letter A, last spot mojo, right Rex. And then that brings me to the Jurassic Park argument where they took Dino DNA and they replaced the missing DNA bits with that of other reptiles, frogs, et cetera. And we saw what happened to that park. There's Oscar Shuebbi, Shibi, she a Biwe? Sorry, Oscar. I don't know why he's flipped around, but maybe he's important. Skyscrapin, that's kind of a cool insert set too. Bum, bum, Skyscrapin and there's a Jarrais Walker. That's a cool shot of Mr. Walker here. It's going to go to J, that's be for Chad in the letter J. We're hoping these guys get drafted, we're hoping they become superstars, so on and so forth. Another, Caitlin Clark from Matthew and the letter C. And beyond Lauren Betts is Jalen Wilson to 25 from Kansas, Orange Shimmer for Chad in the letter J. Is he good? I don't know. Gonna watch more college basketball. Like the camel in the back, last box.  Should we reanimate the saber tooth tiger, the natural enemy of the woolly mammoth? I don't know if they're the natural enemy of the woolly mammoth. Let's say they were, and we'd have to reanimate the saber tooth tiger, Rex. And I'm not entirely sure that the saber tooth tiger is the saber tooth tiger in Apex Predator. Is there be something bigger than the saber tooth tiger that eat saber tooth tiger? All right, see you guys. There must be something bigger than a saber tooth tiger. That's what we're thinking. Then you have to reanimate another creature bigger than the saber tooth tiger. The giant saber tooth tiger. Or maybe man, maybe humankind, is the Apex Predator in that situation. I mean, we'd have to take out. Be like Texas. Be like Texas where they have a, I think they have, is it, someone in Texas confirm? I no longer have family in Texas, so I cannot confirm. But I think there's a wild boar in the wilds of Texas. I think there's a boar issue, right? And so they literally have to take, you can take helicopter rides, and you can take a ride and shoot wild pigs, I think, which actually kind of sounds cool. Yeah, let's go. Let's see if we can get letter V to hit.  Yeah, like it's cunning, like it's really smart. Turns out the dodo bird was actually really smart, and they reanimated the dodo bird. Oh, okay. Jalen will listen, consensus all American. Well, if Rogan's talking about it, must be true Rex. How about another J? Julian Phillips, purple. That's the 399. No, but yeah, I think you do have to, I think, I think there's like, you can charter a helicopter and they'll put like a 50 caliber of the, like, I don't know if they take that 50 caliber of it. You can shoot something. Can you eat wild boar? Apologies if that's an obvious question. Maybe there's like, maybe the state of Texas is watching this and smacking their palm to their forehead. But can you eat those boar? Those, can you eat them? It's Mark Armstrong for letter M for Simon. The aggressive, smart as a crow, dodo bird. And as strong like a crow, like in those fight milk commercials, you've seen those fight milk commercials. And there's Jet Howard. Jet, whoo, whoo, jet. Good wing song there. 61 out of 199. Jet going to chat. They used to call a chat jet in high school, right Chad? Chad jet da on account of his speed. Supposedly it's really good if you cook it right. Kevin says, yes, you can, but it has a gamey, so is it like a gamey bacon or a gamey pork chop? I do like bacon and pork. We got PJ Hall, pink mini diamonds. The Power Ford from Clemson, 51 out of 150. Chad was fast, but no, not the nickname, all right. It was Chad, reasonably fast sedan da was his nickname. And there you go, gang, that was your break. Not too bad, I think. I feel like there's some names here. And even better yet, we're able to unlock another four box break, which is gonna be coming from a fresh case. So it's a fresh search for all the big names from this Bowman University. He said, hey, everyone on this list right here, thank you for the late night fill. I appreciate you. Thanks for getting this done. We had a lot of fun, I hope. And I'm Joe and I'll see you next time for the next one. Bye-bye.


So today I want to talk about the single-page application front-end development with reframing agent. So single-page application. So now everyone is talking about it. Actually, it's a web application or website in fits on a single page. Previously, we do the web development. We have a bunch of UILs where we move back and forth. We will post a request or we will do something. Then the back-end server will render the page for us then to send to the client. But now everything changed. We have this SPA and also people want to compete with native desktop and the mobile application. Wow. So what does it mean for us as developed or headache? So we can see that we have a client and a server code totally separated. So when we do design the things, when we testing, when we send to the dev operation, a lot of problems. We can see front-end and the back-end when we want to deliver to production, but people find, oh, we are using the different contracts. Boom. So we also, the data transport and the binding become a big problem for us. Previously, no such problem because everything located in back-end. So it's a load from database. It's rendered in the server itself. Then sends only HTML to the front-end to do the rendering. But now, no, even the client will handle some logic business logic. So we get a lot of new technologies. Now we have HTML5. It's a lot of new terms. We have Ajax WebSocket, some server push events. We will have fire uploads, orgs, such kinds of APIs. So we also have a lot of new frameworks. We have AngularJS. We have React. We have so many things. Need to learn to handle. You can look at the wiki pages. It's talk about all the challenges, all the things as a developer need to take care of. So here comes our savers. First, functional programming. It really makes the things simple, make the things composable, because we don't have the state. No, not have the state. We can limit our states in a very small area. We have, with closure, we have the data-oriented design and the data-driven. Actually, in the last three months, we are doing all such design and implementation. We find we have failed more and more love with the data-oriented design. Everything flows from the data model then to the pipeline till the end to render in the client. Closure and the closure script. Previously, in the last pitch, we say we have the code separation problem. Client and the server, now it's separated. So in our current workflow, we use different programming language. In the front-end, we use JavaScript. In the back-ends, we use Java or others, Scala, Ruby, such kind of things. But closure and the closure scripts make us use closure. I think they are almost the same. I don't say totally, but we use almost same languages in the front-end and the back-end. And also, even with our current work, we are trying to investigate when we're doing the development, we even run the logic in the front-end, means which are compiled to closure scripts. When we send to a dev operation, we separate to the code. We deliver the business logic to the server. So we don't need to worry about it, because everything, they run on the same thing. Nope. Sorry. OK, then reframe. Reframe is a very good-designed framework. Although, actually, we dropped it two or three weeks ago. We find it has some problem. I will talk about it later. But I think a lot of concepts can be referred in the project. What is reframe? Reframe is a framework for writing SPA. Actually, it includes the basic idea is it thinks in the front-end we have a single app DB. So we store all our models, even the rendering information, everything into front-end DB. Then this DB can use, how do you say, use atom to be directly mapped to the view. Then the view rendered by reagent in the React. We can do some dispatch from the DOM level. Then it will be handled. Actually, in the end, it's like event queue. So front-end can dispatch all the events. Then in the end, the event handlers will take all your events, then reduce all these events into the DB. It's a very common pattern with the closure and the closure script. It's a reduced pattern. It means also you can see it's event source. So you have initial model, then you collect all the such kind of events, then you reduce into a new model. Then it will reflect to the view again. OK, any questions? OK, so this is the main components. So to follow the idea, if you are developer with reframe, you can see first you need to have a DB code, its model. Inside it, you also can have some specifications to verify this model. Then you have subs. Subs is a query layer. Actually, you can define some queries against your DB. You define event handlers. So you can see it has event ID. It will return you the DB and the event payload. Then you can do some operations on your DB. You can associate. You can reduce anything you want to do. Then you have views. You can see in the view it's a subscribe your query. Then it's use hiccups to give more HTML. Then it will be rendered by reagents and react to the DOM. So if you develop with reframe, this is like the workflow. So I think I will talk about it in the dojo also. So we can try some things. Any question? Are the events global always? The events are they global? Yes. Actually, for reframe, it's a state machine. So it has a global DB, means global model. It has this global state machine. Then it has a queue. It feeds everything into this queue then to be consumed by this machine. Any more question? So we can repeat these patterns. So for large projects, you may have many panels. So you can repeat it. So you separate your codes into your panel one, panel two. Then in your panel, you repeat these patterns to finish your project. Even you can see in the demo code, it has a panel. Actually, it's a routing panel. It gets the active panel from the APB DB. Then it decides which panel to be rendered to show in the front-end. This is a bit complex idea. Previously, I think in the last year, I present in the meet-up for use. Actually, at that time, reframe don't have these concepts. Previously, if you need to handle something like HTTP request, or even you request some time. For example, you want to know current time. You need to do new date. But it's changed a lot with effects and the co-effects. I think the example the author gives is, for example, if you want to know the current time, you will embed a side effect in your handler. It will make you difficult to test because your handler is not a pure function again. So he brings in these two concepts. It's called effects and the co-effects. It's mostly used to move out the side effects from the function handlers. For example, you can register the date as a co-effect. So when you use the event handler, the reframe will inject this co-effect to you. So you can reference this co-effect in your handler. If you are doing the testing, you can replace these co-effects with some exact or with the data instead of to call some new dates or such kind of things in your code. And also for these effects. Effects previously, it only has DB as an effect. But now it also uses HTTP. It has HTTP dispatch, all these things to register. So you can use. So from what I think is, reframe also moves more and more into data oriented. If you look at its source code, actually now for every snapshot, reframe can be exported as a map. So you can find everything. If you dive into it, there is a called refrisk. It's a tool to help you to debug all these events, all the effects happened. So you can see it's used this feature. It captures every snapshot. It finds all the events happen, record it, and all the models snapshot also to show you what happens exactly for every step, for every dispatch. Interceptors, OK? I think it's done. Interceptors is something like middleware. I think I forget to compile in this machine. It's like a debug or path or trim. It's the ideas of middleware. So you can handle the data before it's put into the feed to the handlers. Also it can have some post effects like debug. So after the handlers happens, it will call the debug to export the results to you. So you can see, for example, database, what is previous and what is next. Any questions? I think that that's almost the reframe. So if you develop with reframe, you use such kind of things like you define a model, you define all the event handlers, you define your query layer to query the things you need in your front-end. Then you design all your front-end components. Then it will be sure. For these interceptors can help you to massage your data, to meet your requirements.  You can trim it. Also it has some paths. For example, you have some handlers only focus on part of the DB. Because you know the maps have all the branches and sometimes it's very deep. So you can use some such interceptors to give you only that part. Interceptors are like cleaning your data. No, it's like a middleware. I'm not sure whether, for example, you use ring, you have a middleware. That means you have some incoming data. So you can massage this data. So you can have the pre or post processing lines. What do you usually use them for? Interceptors. Interceptors, I just said is, for example, debug. For example, if you want to know the DB changes, you know when these events happen, which part of my database has been impacted. So you put a debug interceptor in your registered event. It will output your database the previous and after. Usually during development, but not so much in production. Debug, no. But for example, the path, that's an interceptor called path. Path means when you do the handlers, you want to only focus some part of the database. Because now everything, every data in your front-end, you may have model. You also can have view data. You have user preference. Your handlers may only interest it in parts of such kind of data. So you use paths to slice it, to get those parts. Does that improve rendering performance? I don't think so. But when you're doing the code, you don't need to get a long path to get such kind of data. It will give you directly. Also, it will update back. What do you store in the DB? What do you store in the DB? Everything. Everything you need. Do you keep the version of them? It depends. It depends on what you need. Actually, you have atom. So sometimes you don't need to use the DB to save your model. It's all design taste. It depends on the purpose. Yeah. What to store. Because you have atom. You even can add watch. You can know everything when it's changed. You can even somebody develop something like it can be rollback, because it's all data. So it will give you such kind of flexibilities. You have this data. You have that data. You know when the data has been changed. So you can record these versions. So when you need it, you roll back. So you got the verb of what they done is all right.  Which you can do for everything. Yeah, it's a design decision. It depends on how complex your application need to be. For normal case, we don't have. Or we only care about some kind of things. Like we want to do something like undo, or such kind of things. We will use these features. Otherwise, I think 80% case, we don't use this. OK. So pros, what we find good for with RIM? Actually, it's a separate of concepts. It's give you, it's totally separate to the view and the logic. So you can do anything to your model. Then it's automatically mapped to your view. So you don't. So in your view, what you need to do is dispatch, dispatch. So it's totally separated. So there's no such things. So it's make sure it's come come possible. Because RIFRIM, it's refer the Elm. It's architecture. It's try to make your code can be composed. You have different things. Then you can easily compose them into a new things. Like since it's separate of concern, it's easy to test. As I say, it brings a lot of new concepts. So you make sure your handlers are pure. So pure function, easy to test. So even the single sentence, I think, mean everything the benefits of this framework. Now comes negative. First, global state. Actually, this one is very smelly. When we first try to use it to investigate, to do some pilot projects, we feel not good. Because it's a global state. Even now, I think people folk the RIFRIM to give it separate, to make it some state local. So you do the local things. Because from my experience, the global things, like you need to worry a lot of things, like your key conflicts, even your developers make mistakes. And also, you have very large map you need to care about. Heavily bounded with reagents. We don't think it's a good thing to be bound. For example, even reagents is a very good design, and a very good front-end library. But we also have RAM. We have other things. We have OM. So we don't think it should be necessarily bound to reagents. Even, I think, just this week, someone published a very good step. I think it's a new framework based on RIFRIM. It's use RAM. It's give you the local state. I think more and more people use it. More and more people have the same feelings. It's a framework. As closure developer, we don't like framework. It's bound, how do you say? Limit your mind. So you do all the boring things. So you follow the workflow to follow all these steps. Later, when you want to change or you want to try some new things, actually, it's very difficult for you. Even our one-month pilot project, we find you everywhere. We have dispatch everywhere. The event handlers keep long and long. Then even some small things, we use some very complex handlers, like a sync handler to handle. Actually, for example, if we do some causing things, you can do it very concise. So we moved our way, actually. Any questions? Local state. Ken, actually, we have some discussion on the Slack channel. There are two group of people. One group of people say to avoid this, they use some conventions programming. So they have some naming convention. So it seems separate, something local. So because if you need to operate on it, you follow very complex naming convention. The second group is they wrap the model. Actually, it gives you some factory method function. So you feel everything. It gives you all the local handlers, local subscription. I think that's the most two basic ideas. So later, you can combine these local states into bigger tree. For question? Well, OK, Ken. There's three agents from React. I will give you next. So reagents. So when we talk about the refrain, we must talk about reagents. They are brothers. Regents is a simple closure script interface to React. It's very good design if you're finding how to say, when you do simple things, it's brilliant. It's very easy to use. So you can see, if the firm one, if you want to define a component, you say I want to greet. So you see the code. It's just a function. Is it? So if you know the hiccup, it's much easier to understand this. So everything will be a vector. You have the tag names as a keyword. You have the attributes list. Then you have the child. OK, a bit complex one. This one is a function return function. So this one you can think is component factory. For example, in this, you want the time, but other people don't use it. They just render it directly. So it gives you the real render function here. So it shows you how much time has been passed. So actually it's a local state. Then it's export this real render function to you. OK, this one. Yeah, this one is React. You see? It's create class. Actually it's called React. It converts all these structures into React class. It has the demand. It has the demand. It has real amount. It has render function. But it's called reagent render instead of render. Actually, when you use third party libraries, a lot of places you need this form. So have you written code like this for production? Have you written code that you've used in production like this? We do pilot project. Do you ever find yourself just looking at the react that it would end up being? Do you ever find yourself wanting to see what this would actually be translated into? Yeah. Yeah. And you look at that one debugging sometimes or never? No, no need. So far, we did not encounter the problem. It's very easy to use. Any questions? That's all about reagent, actually. Almost done. So no questions? What was the reason you moved away from it? What are you using now? Actually, we designed our own libraries. What was your motivation to design your own? We moved more and more to the data-oriented design. So we tried to use functions to operate on the data. Then everything will be a data, even tier the IO, actually. If you know Haskell, even now our front-end is a map. Then it will be fed to a render engine. It's render the whole thing. Actually, you even can think reagent, something like that. But it's not that few, because react. OK. This is a reference. Reframing is very well documented. Even if you don't use it, you can read this document. It's very nice to read. The idea is very good, although it's a bit of an idea. Regent's tutorial is very interesting. If you want to get into this, do we start reading up reagent first or reframe first? You can see the reagent is very easy. It's just a function to vectors. So you can ignore it first. Tier you need like from three or from two. No more questions. Then I will start the dojo.


the sources of state capability. The state capacity is concerned with the transformative capacity which is an ability to coordinate industrial change to meet the changing context of international competition. We know that state capacity is an ability to meet the changing context of international competition. The source of state capacity is concerned with the transformative capacity which is an ability to meet the changing context of international competition. When the state is passing through a transformative capacity, that is, the capacity has not properly gained. The state is passing through the process. At that time, how do we coordinate it the most? To gain the capacity, the competition at the international level, how do we do it? That is a very important point. So, the capacity can be shaped by seeking and coordinating resources across the broader spectrum by the agents of transformative states. It is very important that what is the basic need of the state for coordinating resources. Coordinating resources basically will provide the tool which will enhance the state's capacity. So, the state capacity can be scored higher when its economic internationalization is lesser. It will more be able to govern industrial change. If its dependency goes down in the economic aspect, then internally it will become so strong that it will create so many resources for its people that it will be able to move towards industrialization. So, when a state enables itself to constantly creating new tools for new challenges, it will be able to meet changing domestic and international demands. We have seen in the world how the state can enhance its capacity and allow the state to enter into world politics. We have seen that after the two world wars, there were many countries that faced destruction. Japan, Germany. Then we have seen in 1949, where China used to stand. These countries advanced themselves technologically, increased their state capacity and today, where they are standing, other states are dependent on them to go through their transformative phase. So, we can say that state capacity come out of institutions governing domestic languages with more sophisticated policy languages between economic, bureaucracy and industrial sector. Country goes towards rapid industrialization. So, what is the basic tool? What is the basic source? To enhance the state's speed, if its policy linkages, if the policy makers have the idea that what will be the needs of the country in the coming years. That is, long term objectives of policy making should be dependent on them. If the gap in policy making is made, if bureaucrats are thinking more, institutions are thinking more and the people running the industry have resources, if they are not interlinked with each other, if their thought process is not related to each other and their concerns are not tackled, then definitely long term objectives will not be there. In fact, short term, the measures that are taken will only satisfy the people and the state's capacity will not be enhanced nor in the long run, the state will be able to take it on an international level. So, the certain types of domestic linkages appear more robust than others in enabling transformative adjustment strategies. These transformative adjustment strategies are the most important for them. For that, the domestic linkages are more and more appropriated. Those people who want to grow something, those who are establishing the industry, those who are running the industry. If we talk about import and export, then where should we maintain their level? This subty evaluation, this subty proper policy making and then long term objectives to be defined can enhance the state's capacity. All the sources that can enhance the state's capacity basically link that within the state what are the preferences and the top priorities of the policy makers are determined on what basis.
