Hey everybody, welcome to the Lotakway. I'm Jessica and today's video is going to be our homeschool plans for the new year. Let's talk about what we are going to do this winter in our homeschool. I don't know about you, but returning to homeschool after the holidays always feels super difficult. And not just for Emily, but for me too. You've had this high of the holidays and now it's time to get back to the everyday life. And while I love homeschooling, it just always seems hard. There's not all of this holiday excitement. Winter is now upon us. So the days are shorter and they're colder and it's just kind of like the homeschool blobs. So I asked myself years ago, what are the two things that we love most in our homeschool? And the two things that we love most were reading and playing games. What if we took the two things that we love and enjoy the most? And that's all we did when we came out from the homeschool holidays. What if that's all we did for homeschool? And so that's what we did. And it turned out to be something we loved.  And so every single January after the holidays when we returned to homeschool, we challenge ourselves to simply read one book and play one game a day. That's super simple and we can do it in under 30 minutes depending on what book and game we choose. So it took very little for me. I admit I didn't have to play in. I admit I only didn't have to spend hours at the table. It made us excited to come back to homeschool. And so that's what we have been doing for the past five years is simply committing to reading one book and playing one game for the month of January. Now, sometimes we'll get on a roll and we'll even go past January which is kind of what I've planned for this year. But that doesn't mean that you have to. We have printables that you can do with us that check off all 31 days of January. And there's all kinds of things in this printable pack. I'm gonna link in the description box in case you want to join us because we would love to have you. And it's just simply a way to restart your homeschool in some part of enjoyment that you and your children are gonna love. It doesn't have to be anything special. You don't have to even own a game. You can own like a deck of cards and you can play 31 different games for your deck of cards. You can let your kids pick the games. You can let your kids pick the books. Whatever it takes, the month of January is more about returning to some simple routines, doing things you and your kids are gonna enjoy and making connections because that's what's most important is making those connections and letting your kids know that you're there and it's time to spend time with them. Especially after the busy holiday season, sometimes we can get caught up in all the things and all the to-do lists and we've forgotten to make those connections and I'm so guilty of that. I'm like, let's do all the things and make all the connections and then I don't do those things or I don't make all the connections I wanted to make with her. I don't take that slow, quiet time. And so I make sure that we do that in January. Now, in years past, for the past five plus years, we have read a picture book and played one game every day for the month of January. And there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. I loved it. I would do it again. But I thought we would shake things up a little this year and our personal homeschooling, you don't have to do this. You can read anything you want. It can be a picture book. It can be whatever. But this year, we are going to read chapter books. So me and Emily sat down and went through her long waited to be read list of mine. And we picked out seven chapter books just to make sure we had the entire month covered because I have no idea how long it's gonna take us to get through these books. We may do this all of January and a large portion of February. We'll just have to see how it rolls out. But this is basically my plan for the February, January, blah, mundane homeschool that just gives us all the dreary winter weather stuff. As we're going to read those books. And then what we did when we picked the books as we tried to pick kind of a theme that took place in the books. And we picked anywhere between four to five games that would tie in well with that book. And my plan is that while we're reading that book during the duration of that book, I'm just gonna put those games on our coffee table and we'll just play them. At minimum, we will read one chapter of the book and we'll play one round of a game. Now, there will be no rules. So if she wants to play the same game every day for a week, that's fine with me. If we read 10 chapters instead of one, fantastic. But minimum, my homeschool must do is for the month of January will be to read one chapter from a book and to play at least one game. So that's it, that's the rules. Now, because I know you're gonna ask, yes, I have all of the books and all of the games picked and I'm going to share them with you right now. The first book that Emily chose is Stella. This is a book about a dog who deserves a second chance. She was trained as a like a rescue cop type of dog and then she has an owner who I believe has some sort of anxiety attack or some sort of seizure and the dog thinks that she can tell the owner or the girl that something is happening. So Emily was super excited that basically the dog was gonna get a second chance and it was a book about dogs. So the games that we chose have the dog theme. We have nuts about muts. We have the top trumps, lovable game of pooches. We have dogs and puppies, a memory game. And then we have dog bingo. The next book I picked because I'm personally dying to read it and it is Willow Dean, although I know Emily's gonna love it because she loves everything by Catherine Applegate and the theme that we kind of picked for that book was magical creatures because that's the premises of that book is that there is this like whole forest with a magical creature in it and they're disappearing. So to go along with that, we picked the game Creature Clash. It is a really fun card game where you are trying to make a creature of all of these little parts, beginnings, middles and ends and you're trying to make the creature that would be the most points. So I'm sneaking in a little math with that one. Then we also have the Create a Creature which is really, really cool because you have these cards where it's like the subject, the details and then you have the habitat and you're basically trying to draw the creature. So that will be fun. We have Cover Your Kingdom which is you're the ruler of a magical kingdom full of magical creatures. So that's going to be a blast. And then one of our all-time favorites, Dragonwood which is a game of dice and daring where you're trying to kind of collect all these different magical creatures. The next book that Emily picked is The Kingdom Keepers and this is Disney After Dark. Now this is book one. Obviously this is a series. She just wanted to start with the first one and see if she liked it. You can kind of see that now the books that we're picking are getting a little thicker. So this is the point at which I made sure that we had at least five games because I figure it's probably gonna take us a little longer to read the rest of the books I'm gonna share because they're getting a little bit longer. More pages, bigger books. So the games that we have to go along with that one are Monopoly Villains. We have Clue Villains. We have the Villains Labyrinth Villainous. And then we have a few of the expansion packs of this too that I will put under the coffee table. And then last, because we just really like playing it, I grabbed the Pictopia Disney, which is an ultimate trivia game. I thought it would be kind of cool to see how much we know about Disney with that one. The next book we have is The Simple Art of Flying. This was one of my picks. It was in an Alcret Junior box and I have wanted it ever since it came out but I missed that box. So we are going to read it now. The games we have to go along with that are the Top Trump's Birds. Now, in case you've never seen a Top Trump, we really, really like these. They have realistic pictures of the thing that they're talking about. And it's basically a war with all these different facts. So for the birds, it's their wingspan, their lifespan, their clutch size, their independence and their cute rating. So essentially you're playing war with one of those ratings. We also have the Professor Noggin Birds. In case you've never played Professor Noggin's, you have easy and hard questions and you roll a die that has one through three on it and then you answer that question. If you get it correct, you get to keep the card. Whoever has the most cards at the end is the winner. Then we have Mashapara Birds, Bird Bingo and we have Bird Spotting Opoli. We also have wingspan to go along with this. I just don't have it right this second because I loaned it out to somebody to see if they liked playing it. So we will also have wingspan under the coffee table which is an amazing bird game. The next book we have is The Secret Wild which is when this little girl moves to a city. She realizes that basically the plants are all over the place and they're kind of growing out of wild. It's a mystery that she's trying to solve about why the plants are growing and how to fix it before they take over. So this one seemed really, really cute. And of course the theme for that is plants. So we have Wildcraft which is an herbal adventure and all this is a cooperative game so it's great for younger kids because you could all play together. But Emily has been playing it since she was like four and loves it so I have that one for her. We have Planted which is a game of nature in nurture. We have Flower Families, Matcha Leaf which is a memory game. In case you can't tell we love Lawrence King and then we have Tree Bingo which is another Lawrence King game. We really, really love the quality of those games and the illustrations of them which is why we have so many of them and why those are the ones we chose because we love playing them. All of us love playing them. So I picked as many of those as I could. The next book was one of my picks and it is City Spies. This is another book that is a series. This is just the first one in the series. It's been on my To Be Red List forever and so when I read it to Emily, she was like, oh that sounds really cool. So it's one of the ones that I picked. So the games, the kind of the theme for it is like Code Cracking, Spy, Sleuth kind of thing. So we have Figure It which is a crack the code type of game that's based with numbers. We have Mastermind Kids which is just the one that we have. You can have Mastermind or Mastermind Kids. They both play great but it's a code maker versus a code breaker so another break the code kind of game. We have Codename Pictures which is trying to figure out the location of the spies and secret agents based off of the team. So we'll play in teams for that one. Sherlock Express, you're trying to race to solve the mystery of who done it. And then Super Sleuths which is really a vocabulary game but it's kind of met the theme of spy and that was a great way for me to sneak in some grammar and vocabulary so I thought why not? And then the last book is called Time Sight. This was one of the few ones that Kevin requested. It says castles, battles, the ancient Scottish highlands and a boy who is determined to bring everyone home safely in this absorbing time traveling adventure. So he is like traveling through time and trying to bring everybody home safely. So we decided that we would go with throughout history kind of time thing to make sure that we were covering all of the time traveling that he was doing. Kevin loves history so he was like, yeah, that sounds great. So the games we chose for that one are all of our timelines. We really love these. So this is the classic timeline and then we have the timeline in Vincen's as well as the timeline events. So we will have all of those to play. The similar history which is kind of a guess who type of game. It reminds me of guess who. You just don't have the board and you're trying to guess which historical figure did it. This was my favorite pick for this because trekking through history kind of sounds like it's perfect for a time traveling game. So we will probably be playing tons of rounds of that. And then journey through time, I found it hidden picture. This board actually lays out to like six foot. It's almost our entire dining room table. And then you're just trying to use the little thing to find the different things. But it goes through ancient Egypt, medieval age, the age of piracy, Wild West and the future. So it will be a fun thing because in the book they are trying to like find the clues when they're traveling through time. So this game was gonna be really, really great because we have to find the clues throughout the history to play it. So that's it. That is the seven books and all of the games that we have picked. Now that doesn't mean there won't be any more but that's kind of what our plan is for the winter which is probably gonna be most of January and February basically until Emily's ready to dive back into school and until we figured out what our next unit study is going to be. This is going to be the basis of our homeschool. If at least we read one chapter and play one game I will be happy and count homeschool is done. But what I love about our book and game challenge is that it gives us the space and the room for rabbit trails. And I can already tell you there's gonna be a ton.  So I'm sure we will be watching YouTube videos or documentaries. We will probably be doing some research. That's what I love about these few months is it really helps me to see kind of what she's interested in what she's gravitating towards. It gives us time and blank space in our day to be able to be more creative, to be able to do the things that maybe we weren't able to do during the holiday season. It's just really honestly one of my favorite times of year because we're kind of free. We're just, our only must do is are to read a book or a chapter and play a game which those aren't even must do, it's like those seem fun. And then we have all of this space to do whatever else to go down whatever rabbit trail she wants to go down to follow whatever lead she has. It's just super exciting and I can't wait for January so that we can start this. Now, if you are thinking that this sounds fantastic and you would like to join us, I'm gonna leave a link in the description box for you with all of the things. There's principles that have check marks where you can check mark what you've played. There's game suggestions, there's links. There's all of the past books and games that we've done throughout the five years if you need some inspiration. We have a hashtag that we use on social media to make it easier to find each other. So if you are thinking this sounds great and this is exactly what I need in my home school starting January, please join us and make sure you click on that link because we would love to be able to follow along on your book and a game of date journey as well.


Oh, people of the internet, my name is Johnny and welcome back to Five Nights at Freddy's News. Everything I have for you guys today is kind of small, kind of small topics, but of course we do have the big topic, security breach state of play today. So let's not waste any more time. Of course you all know what I'm about to say. Double check, make sure you are subscribed. I think it's something dumb, like 20 to 30% of the people who watch me are actually subscribed, so if you are not subscribed well maybe you think you are, just double check. Also hit the like button, thanks. All right, let's hop into the news. Starting off with the brand new Fazbear Fright Books, the Puppet Carver number nine. It released I think two days ago and now it is officially out as you can see. Also do not forget that there is a exclusive cover to BAM Books a Million available again right now. If you want a summary of the entire book, including all three stories, including the epilogue, you don't gotta wait for doco cause I made a video on my own summarizing the whole books, it's linked down below. Speaking of books, let's take a look at the ultimate edition of the Freddy Files because it just got a cover. As you can see, the cover is blue, which I actually like. I like that it changed up the background color. I think it makes it stick out a bit more. However, that's kinda where my compliments end for the cover. I do think that the render of Bonnie from FNAF AR looks good. I just don't see why it is FNAF AR Bonnie. A quick reminder that this book includes Help Wanted, Curse of Dreadbear, Fazbear Frights, and apparently now FNAF AR, even though it wasn't listed in the description of the book and out of all the characters, you know, like Glitchtrap or Dreadbear, maybe like Grim Foxy into the pit spring Bonnie, well like Lonely Freddy, I don't know some version of Freddy, they pick Bonnie from FNAF AR. I get it, it's the most recent game, but it's also not the most enticing of games. I think having Glitchtrap or Vanny or, you know, even if Security Bridge isn't in it, which again, we still don't know if it's going to be in the book or not, or even Dreadbear would have been better than Bonnie from FNAF AR. But other than that, because I can kinda excuse that because at least they changed the cover image, the four images at the bottom are the exact same images on the cover for the updated edition, which makes no sense in my mind because if you are trying to appeal to people who are like, oh, I wonder what's new happening in FNAF. See, like on the first cover, you had, you know, FNAF one, FNAF one, FNAF four. Updated edition, it threw in some FNAF six right there and right there, but then this new one doesn't do anything different. Nothing from have wanted because of Dreadbear. Again, the Fast Bear Fright books, it's just FNAF six, which we've had in the past and they have changed those four images in the past so I don't know why they're not doing it now. Yeah, that was my rant on the cover for the ultimate edition. I'll still pick it up. I do wanna see what they have to talk about with these new topics. It comes out sometime in December so we do have a while to wait. Something that is happening right now actually is FNAF AR. Yesterday, Illumix made a tweet saying, are you enjoying your flight through Screen Punk with Aeronaut Toy Freddy? Of course, that being the second and previous skin in the Screen Punk event. With this new foray, you'll truly be up, up, and away. We were all kinda assuming, okay, maybe it's a balloon boy skin because balloons go up into the air balloon boy and also with Aeronaut being someone who, again, pilots drives, I don't know the correct terminology, a hot air balloon. We were thinking maybe hot air balloon boy and then Illumix did something that in my opinion is hilarious. I know some people are upset that they did this on accident but I think it's so goddamn funny. You know how when a new skin releases, they'll put out a picture saying, you know, so and so has been added into FNAF AR? Well, instead of setting their time for an example, 8 p.m. Eastern Standard, they set it for 8 a.m. Eastern Standard on YouTube. And so this morning, we woke up to Jet Pack Balloon Boy, the Screen Punk skin for balloon boy coming into FNAF AR tonight. So yeah, there goes Illumix leaking their own content for their game tonight. A quick update on Pop Goes Evergreen, one of the games in the Fazbear Fanverse Initiative. Kane tweeted out earlier this month saying, the server room is now done. That six rooms finished out of 10, though the others have a lot of work done. But even then, the pizzeria technically isn't the only location in Pop Goes Evergreen. And then probably my favorite sentence Kane has ever said online, this shit's gonna take forever but I'll be damned if it don't look respectfully. I can't tell if I appreciate Kane more since he's being hip and cool or if I never want him to talk online ever again. So yeah, they're making steady progress on Pop Goes Evergreen. I believe Kane said that it probably won't release this year which is understandable. You know, they wanna take their time. It seems like it's a big game with a lot of work that needs to be done. And now some news I never expected. FNAF is getting more Funko products. However, I don't think it's what we were expecting.  Well, it does seem like we're getting more pops but again, in a strange way. Yesterday, a listing for Funko's something wild five nights at Freddy's Rockstar Freddy product was found. If you don't know what something wild is, I don't blame you. I didn't know what it was either. Apparently it's like a chord game but with Funko pop figures on them. I don't know either but apparently FNAF is getting a something wilds product. It has a release date of December through January so we do have a wild to wait. I just don't really see what this is gonna do. I mean, hopefully best case scenario, this is hinting at new FNAF pops but that could just not be the case and it could be pops from previous waves. It's also interesting that they're doing it with Rockstar Freddy of all characters but that's not the only thing. We also found a pocket pop FNAF 2021 advent calendar which is like 80 bucks. It releases very soon August through September and it's gonna have 24 pocket pop vinyl figures for FNAF which I think is super cool. As you can see, this is a example of what the pocket pops advent calendars look like. I'm guessing that this is for Christmas, you know, the holiday season even though it is releasing in again, August slash September. So yeah, 80 bucks, oh boy, we have that to look forward to again next month. And now let's talk about the big topic for the video, security breach and PlayStation's brand new state of play later today. So if you missed the memo a couple of days ago, PlayStation tweeted out a new state of play arrives this Thursday. Tune in for a death loop gameplay deep dive plus lots of updates on Indies and exciting third party games. It's also worth noting that the show is only 30 minutes long. So probably not a whole lot of content in this one boys. So of course people are getting excited, probably a bit too excited. Several people including me and Darko have reached out to Steerwell hoping that they're gonna say something. So far they have not. The show starts in about a couple hours, 2PM PT, 5PM ET and 10PM CEST. So right now it's still unclear whether or not FNAF is going to be in the new state of play. Of course we are way overdue for a brand new look at security breach. The last proper look we got was all the way back in February with the gameplay trailer. And when you realize that Steerwell missed out on the summer games fest, maybe they're included in this one. But again, they haven't said anything. Honestly, I don't mind if it's not there. Of course I would prefer if it was there and we got a brand new trailer. But in full honesty, I would just rather have Steerwell say something. I get wanting to keep it a secret but when you saw just how insane people went at summer games fest, I want them to say something about the state of play before it happens. Even if it's like a huge, you know, like punch in the stomach and it's like, oops, sorry, we're not gonna be there. I don't mind. I would rather have that. But I will be streaming my reaction to this data play over on my Twitch channel. It's linked down below. Go give it a follow boys. If Steerwell do say something, it probably won't be in this video because I'm about to wrap it up in a couple minutes. But if security breach is in the state of play, I will stream it here on YouTube. But for right now, it's gonna be on Twitch. So that's gonna be it. If anything, just keep your expectations low. I don't know about you guys but I would rather have my expectations low than boost up super high when I see FNAF is in it and get super excited, have an amazing day. Rather than, oh my gosh, I can't wait for this new security breach trailer. And then there's nothing in the state of play and then I have a disappointing day. So yeah, thank you guys so much for watching this video. Again, make sure you follow me on Twitch and I'll see you all on the flip side. Goodbye.


Think Tech Hawaii, civil engagement lives here. Aloha, and welcome back to Talk Story with John Wahee. This afternoon I have, as my guest, one of my favorite people, J. Fidel himself. Hi, Governor. From Think Tech, oh, Think Tech Hawaii. I need to say that slowly, more often, you know, I could never do the pick a pepper thing even. But anyway, and today our topic is we are going to try and not predict, but talk about forecast, I guess, politics for next year, both on the state and federal level and with just in general. And I thought that J would be the ideal person for this, because as a co-host on these programs, he likes to take on various kinds of political issues. So and especially, well, we'll start on the national level, especially the President of the United States. We had a lot of fun these past two years talking about our President, J. And what's your conclusion? Would you vote for him now? Oh, no. Oh, no, no. You know, it's so funny.  He calls him a rat. And you know, what are you saying to something like that? And at what point does the call mean anything? I think it was at Times pointed out that that's a word they use in the underworld. Well, practically everybody's been pointing that out, you know? That's what Gotti would say about the FBI informer, you know? A question, I think, is he's had a lot of trouble with people turning on him. And it has been going well for him. He lost ground in the Saudi Arabia issue with the Senate. And the, you know, the midterms didn't work the way he wanted. And so the question is, is his credibility, his power undermined to the extent that in 2019 we're going to see him, you know, get fragmented, well, more fragmented, to see him lose his influence over the base and over the Republican Party. You know, personally, I don't think so in terms of the overall base. Because I think there are a lot of people out there who, for various reasons, maybe totally unrelated to his behavior, agree with his policies. And you know, there is a kind of, there are a lot of, I guess what you would call them is a nativitis, or people who, you know, don't like immigration. They want America to be an America that probably never actually existed, you know? And so they see him as the bullock against change.  He's out there doing what they expect of him. The rest of the country is going, you know, crazy. And the polls are actually showing, though, that he's losing some of the base. But he's keeping a core. He's keeping a core. Yeah. Just like he doubles down on some of the things he's said, some of the really indefensible things he's said, they seem to double down on it, too. And that's very troubling because, you know, when you have a conversation with somebody like that, you really can't convince them. It's not even a rational conversation. And so I think there's a lot of people in this country, the base, nearly all of it, as we saw it before, that are going to support him no matter what he does, including shooting somebody on Fifth Avenue. Yeah. And I don't know why that is. I'm still, do you have an answer? I'm still wrestling with why people, an individual person or a group of people would do that. When they know that he's been acting badly and they continue to double down on what he's saying. Well, I think there are like three different categories, at least, you know, of different groupings. And at least some of the people, well, there are, for instance, I believe, a lot of what I would consider actually good people. I have a sister-in-law and a brother-in-law who are totally enamored with it, not enamored. They actually would wish that he didn't misbehave. But because their religious viewpoints sort of align with his actions, meaning their idea of what is moral and what is not in terms of abortion or other issues like that. Just believe that he's the person for them. And so you have that grouping. And I point out to them all the time that, yes, but the way he acts and the way he does it just doesn't comport with the rest of the beliefs that they have as good religious people.  And that's where I lose the argument. That's where we're stretching it. You know, I lose the argument because I know at that point, all right, let's just have a great Thanksgiving dinner, you know. I'm not going to even talk about it. Sorry, why is that, John? You know, it's just, I don't want to challenge that. But there are those people. Now, I think that some of them are also starting to realize that maybe this is all a scam. So you've got that group, you know? Then you've got the other group, which is totally self-interested. I mean, this is all about business and the business that they happen to be in. Not necessarily business in general. And because some of his policies regarding foreign trade really hurt the American business, like the automobile manufacturers and the beef producers and farmers and many people actually. But where they do benefit, they're very strongly supported. And then there's the third group, which is sort of, you know, falling apart. We're just, okay, we've got to protect our positioning. We're Republicans. We got to do it. So I don't know how you say that, but he seems to hold on to his faith pretty well. I just don't understand it. And I'm reluctant to have a conversation with somebody head on, although maybe it needs that. I would love one. If any Trump person is out there, I took on Duke Iona, but that was when Trump was just beginning. So maybe now, I don't know exactly where he stands, but he's got a radio show.   And I wonder if he would have the same zeal now as he had then, especially after all the... Well, look at what's coming out about Russia. Even if Trump, I mean, as a patriot, as a patriot, we all ought to be, as patriots, we all ought to be concerned. And I'm, thank you, by the way, for letting me turn you into the host of this all day. Sure, sure, sure. You know... It's just a conversation. As a patriot, we ought to be really concerned when the FBI, when whatever Trump's actual direct involvement might have been, there is no doubt that the Russians use social media to tear up this country. To tear up this country. Right during the last election, they were sending lies, essentially, to, for example, black voters about why they should stay home and not vote for Hillary and things that were being done. They were sending all kinds of propaganda to various groups who are actually being negatively affected by his policies and getting them not to vote. It's like suppression, really. Well, it was suppression. And what's surprising about this is that he made that into such an issue, and it turns out the only people that have been suppressing voters are Republicans. In various states, or that have been suppressing the will of voters, like in Wisconsin, where you change the rules after an election in a lame duck session. That was incredible. You know, how do you do that and get away with it? It's just raw power, you know? So what do you think of Mulvaney? What's he going to do for us, or what does he do for Trump? That's a better question in 2019. They've had a lot of revolving door-type chiefs of staff over there. Is this going to be any better? Well, I tell you what, I think, despite all of our feelings about President Trump and what he's done and what he may do in the future, the average person, most people, really would not want anything bad to happen to the country. So just like when his prior chief of staff came in, there's a lot of hope that maybe this one might sort of right the ship, might sort of do something. And he seems to have at least the experience and the skills. I mean, he's very highly taught of as an operative, as a functionary, as a technocrat. And there's some hope that his no-nonsense style, you know, would affect this presidency. So he's coming in with a lot of cautious goodwill. I hope so. I mean, it is reminiscent of some of the others in the past when they came in. Everybody said, you know, Kelly's strong. He's going to shape Trump up. He's going to make sure there's discipline in the White House. Hopefully he's going to contain some of these tweets. He's going to give some real valuable advice and it will be strong advice to Trump and improve Trump's administration. But that didn't happen. Yeah, well, you know, and one of the interesting questions for 2019, what happens to Kelly now? Does Kelly come out and say something eventually? Or Prius, for that matter? You know, the prior Kelly chief of staff. You know, do they eventually come out and say what he would really like for the good of the country? You know, there is a hope. There's a hope among some conservative Republicans that somehow somebody contained the awful excesses of this presidency. Or in a way, you know, there was an article written and I'm trying to remember who wrote it about the fact that Donald Trump may actually be George Bush with bad manners. You know, a lot of his policies where the rubber meets the road kind of thing are really conservative Republican policies. Now, they happen to be on the far end of the conservative spectrum, but they're in the spectrum. That's my point. And I don't think that's true because I think Bush was actually much closer to being moderate than this president. But the idea that his policies by themselves are extremely... I think they're awful because I disagree with them, but I don't think that they are necessarily out of the spectrum. You know, Trump, I think Trump has done more damage, more damage to international relations. Well, that's where the rubber hits the road. Yeah, I agree with you. More damage to, you know, the country's sense of self-morality, the country's sense of being a welcoming, Statue of Liberty kind of country. Well, I don't even... I don't know about you, but I don't even recognize that this country is the country that I learned about in the 4th, 5th, 6th grade. It's all different. It's completely different. And I think Trump has done a lot to undermine our notion of representative government of democracy. It's not always that he did it himself, but that he encouraged other people to do it. Well, that's probably one of the more lasting effects. But look, we're going to take a short break now, and we will be right back to talk a little bit about the national scene and where go with our president, and maybe get to see where go with Hawaii under the newly elected or re-elected governor and state legislators. And aloha, my name is Calvin Griffin, the host of Hawaii in Uniform. And every Friday at 11 o'clock here on Think Tech Hawaii, we bring you the latest on what's happening within the military community. And we also invite your response to things that's happening here. For those of you who haven't seen the program before, again, we invite your participation. We're here to give information, not disinformation. And we always enjoy response from the public. But join us here, Hawaii in Uniform. Fridays, 11 a.m. here on Think Tech Hawaii. Aloha. Aloha. I'm Wendy Lo, and I'm coming to you every other Tuesday at 2 o'clock, live from Think Tech Hawaii. And on our show, we talk about taking your health back. And what does that mean? It means mind, body, and soul. Anything you can do that's your body healthier and happier is what we're going to be talking about, whether it's spiritual health, mental health, fascia health, beautiful smile health, whatever it means. Let's take healthy back. Aloha. And welcome back to Talk Story with John Wahee. We are talking to guests, guest co-hosts, conversational friend, and the rest of it, Jay Fidel today. By the way, if anybody out there has a question for either of us, call us at<PHONE_NUMBER>. Oh, I'll do it again.<PHONE_NUMBER>. You know, we talked about Trump, and sometimes people like you and I get so involved with our Trumpite conversations that we don't really ask another question, and that is, so what should the loyal opposition do about it? What should Democrats do? One of the most interesting statistics I just saw today was that the popularity of the Democratic Party, people who strongly support them in this Trumpian era, is just about 3% higher than those that support the Trump.  I think it's 43 or something like that through 36 for Republicans. But the Democrats are like 39% support, and 35%, you know, you're not doing a good job anyway. So here we, you know, this is our state of our country. So what should a party that's supposed to be, you know, what should they do? How do we get into a thing where the Democrats can't get together like this? I think it's because of the phenomenon at the Trump election, where Russia and others were trying to divide and create divisiveness around the country among various groups. And I think we're still suffering from that. And we're suffering from what he's been doing in terms of dividing the country. So the result is that even the Democrats have been affected. They've been divided. They've been divided. They've been divided among themselves, between themselves. Even you saw Nancy Pelosi had a little trouble getting it together. Well, there are a lot of new Democrats who think Nancy Pelosi might be, apparently, the same old, same old, you know? But I don't think people... I don't think people recognize the need, the value of getting together.  And so the result is that... But are they going to be any better? You know, well, here we are. Just politically speaking, a child died just last week, I think it was. A seven-year-old. A seven-year-old child because of the inhuman treatment that we are, you know, doing to people who are seeking asylum in the great America. Right? And yet, as awful as that is, you know, it got to raise some shackles and everything. Nothing changes. So where's the check and balance in all of this? Where are the policies that can reach over to the people that are, you know, currently dissatisfied but find themselves nonetheless supporting Trump? I think the Democrats have to find a leader. And I like to mention a name. Sure. Beto O'Rourke. Oh. Beto O'Rourke. I see his name coming up more often all the time. And when he speaks and the media is going after him for soundbites because he really gives good soundbites, I think, and he lost, of course, in Texas, but he's a winner. And the dynamics of that election were a little strange. But in the future, I think you're going to see him like a snowball gaining speed all the time. But isn't that, in a way, the symptom of what's wrong with the Democratic Party, that you have to reach out and get somebody who lost an election and call him a savior? Call him a savior. Or you've got to deal with a Cortez. You think he might be a savior? Yeah. And I find her very interesting. And I love somebody who fights like her. But I also know that at least of this moment, 80% of the country would not support her. So what does this say about our democracy? Well, it needs a leader. It needs a leader. And Trump is not going to lead the whole country. The best he can do is 30%. So who is coming along here who will be able to mount the real campaign in 2020 and give him a run for his money and beat him? We don't have anybody. And the question is, how does the process work to emerge? Well, last time, there were so many people on the stage. And then we made this huge, gigantic mistake of letting him be elected. What about now? Do we actually, you know, Jesse Jackson, who's a friend of mine and who I actually never voted for on the national level because he was running against some of the people I thought would be really good, used to say over and over again that when we say we need a leader, we are really giving up the victory already. What we need to create is a leadership, which he described as having leaders come together like planks on a boat or a ship, and develop something that has some kind of momentum more than being based on some...  But one of the things about Trump's, the Trump phenomenon is he's created, I think, a personality-based politic. Absolutely. And so we, by the way, I love veto, you know, and I broke a cardinal rule. I actually contributed to his campaign. See, that's the cardinal rule. I'll give you a little insight.  You never actually give it away, you know? But I did that. I did that because I really thought that he would be a good person. But, you know, is it something more? One strategic move, and what do we do? Well, in order to develop a leadership, I know that Clinton, for example, took over the... What was it? Americans for Democratic Action, I think it was cool. And actually created a basis. In a way, Trump inherited that. He inherited that and used it to his advantage tremendously. Not the Americans for Democratic Action, but he inherited a kind of leadership base with all the, what would it be called, the moral majority and the rest of... Oh, boy, how can I forget this? The Tea Party. Tea Party, which was the result of all kinds of actions. Can a party so splintered, like the Democratic Party, go beyond the idea that diversity is good and actually show us how coming together is even better? I agree. Solidarity is better. Solidarity is even better. That's what it needs. And if better is the one, then what has to happen is the Democratic Party has to get behind him. And people have to say it's really valuable that we all get on the same page here. And if he looks like a good candidate, let's all back him up. And then you have the likelihood that he will surface as a Democratic candidate and he'll run. And he's very good. He can deal with the kind of stuff that Trump puts out. He can run a campaign. And the problem with the campaign with Trump is if you're weak, Trump will find the weakness. He did that with Hillary Clinton. He found the weakness in every engagement. Yeah. And he revealed it. And he was, you know, his criticisms and his tweets and all that, very damaging to her. And she didn't know, in my view, she didn't know how to deal with that. I think O'Rourke would know how to deal with that. Well, okay. You know, but then we have, and I'm kind of going through history a lot to say, but then we have Will Rogers, one of the famous comedian in the 30, who said, you know, what was it that he said? It says something all about, you know, I'm a Democrat, which means that I really have no party.  And so that's our strength. And I don't know. It seems like we have all these constituents and they just all over the place. So I hope you're right. I hope you're right. Now, what about impeaching Trump? Is that something the Democrats ought to do? They can't get the numbers, can they? Well, let's see. You know, should they even try? Well, one commentator on NPR the other day said, there's only one thing worse than an impeachment. It's a failed impeachment. Well, yeah. It's a charge to people who've tried. Unless you are Bill Clinton. It was a good thing that happened.  But you lost, you know? Not everybody's going to go down like Richard Nixon. And the point, though, I think for many Democrats, is they're always wondering whether or not on the policies or whether Vice President Pence would actually be better. You know? And why not just wait it all out and let Trump disappear by himself? You think that Pence would necessarily... You know, it's not really the same Bola Wax. What I mean is you have to measure each president on his own merits. Well, one thing about Pence... And worry about Pence later. What I come up with is that when Mueller finally issues his report, which may not be right away, it's going to be pretty tough on Trump. And it's going to be, at that point, we're all going to be, I think, surprised. And we're going to have to measure Trump as to whether he is fit to lead or has done things that are so bad that are, you know... Well, impeachable. Okay. Well, I don't know. And we'll see what the future brings for us. Unfortunately, we're almost out of time and we didn't get to Hawaii and Hawaii's problems. Another time in another show. Yeah, it's going to be really interesting to see how this unfurls, because they are, I just saw an article, people who are suggesting that it's better to let Trump stay in office and then just indict him the day he leaves office. But that's, you know, that's maybe wishful thinking by another commentator. Folks, thank you very much for tuning in with us. It was a fun session. I want to thank my co-host, guest, Jay Fidel, and invite you all back to join us again with Talk Story with John Whyay.


Hello everybody. My name is Rod Berlins and this is a short video from my paper Breaking Rainbow Takes a Weekend on a Laptop. So Rainbow is a digital signature scheme that was invented in 2005 by Ding and Schmidt and it's a variant of the older oil and vinegar signature scheme. I am mostly interested in this scheme because it was one of the three digital signature finalists of the NIST post quantum crypto project. The other two candidates being Dilithium and Falcon of course. One of the advantages of Rainbow is that it has small signatures for example 66 bytes for the security level one and it has good performance in terms of signing time and verification time but drawbacks are that the public keys are quite large for example 59 kilobytes and as it turns out that the scheme is not secure. So why is it not secure? That's what this video is all about. This work is not the first script analysis of Rainbow. We know about a lot of attacks like when Rainbow was first proposed we knew about oil and vinegar attacks and high rank attacks and then soon after people discovered two new attacks the min-rank attack and a rainbow band separation attack and then after 2008 the the crypt analysis situation seemed to have stabilized and there were no new attacks found. This was until Rainbow entered into the NIST competition and people started to look at Rainbow again. Then people found improvements for the for the min-rank attacks and namely they found better algorithms of solving for solving the min-rank problem and this translates to more efficient attacks on Rainbow but these attacks still didn't threaten the parameters that were submitted to NIST and also there was a better analysis of the rainbow band separation attack which reduced it didn't improve the complexity of the attack but improved our understanding of the attack but essentially so far no new attacks were found and this changed in 2021 when I gave a simplified formulation of Rainbow which is completely equivalent to the original Rainbow scheme but which doesn't make use of bases or coordinates it only talks about subspaces which is much more elegant and it makes it easier to to see what is really going on in the scheme which makes it easier to find new attacks of course. In this paper I found two new attacks that reduced the security level of Rainbow by 20 bits of security but the Rainbow team argued that Rainbow had enough security margin so it still met the security level one security level and then in this work based on the simplified formulation of Rainbow I found another attack which is much more efficient and it's even doable in practice for the round two security level one parameters and for higher security levels it also reduces the security level significantly. I'm only going to give a very high level of overview of the attack so basically the attack starts by guessing some vector x and then you hope that some event happens namely that the kernel of the differential at x contains some some vector in O2 which is a space that you're interested in then you solve some system for a vector in O2 if you have a solution then you're happy and then you can do a full key recovery very efficiently and otherwise you just try again with the different guess for x and it turns out that the probability that you'd make a good guess is quite large it's 1 in 15 and trying to solve the system takes roughly two and a half hours right so you have to repeat this 15 times on average which gives you an efficient attack it only takes 53 hours or one weekend on average so if you want more details then you should attend the full talk but for now let's move on to the conclusion so Rainbow is broken in practice at least around two security level one parameters it would be possible to move to higher parameters to save the scheme but this would be quite expensive and this would make rainbow more expensive than the oil and vinegar scheme on which rainbow is based and this wouldn't really make sense because originally the motivation of rainbow was to have some more efficient version of oil and vinegar but now because of these attacks it's no longer the case that rainbow is more efficient so we should just move back to the original oil and vinegar scheme which is much older and much simpler and easier to understand and crypto analyze so that's it thank you very much and I hope to see you at the full presentation


For tonight's Your Health segment, we are joined by Dr. Andrea Hebert, assistant professor of otorhinolaryngology, that is head and neck surgery at the University of Maryland School of Medicine and ear, nose, and throat physician at the University of Maryland Medical Center, which I should note is a top 10 ranked specialty. Glad you're with us. Thank you. We'll talk about the mysteries of sinuses. Let's start with this. Why do we have them? What do they do? So they help to actually lighten the head. So they're air-filled cavities, four of them, two, you know, sets of pairs. And they lighten the head, they help to circulate the air, humidify it, filter it, warm it as we breathe it through our nose. And they also help to serve as a protective mechanism for a head-on collision. Wow. So why do people have so much trouble? Tens of millions of people have sinus problems. Why? Yeah. So 12 to 15 percent of the population develops a sinus infection every year. And really the underlying pathophysiology or problem is that their inflammation starts in the lining of the sinuses and the lining of the nasal cavity. And it blocks the normal mucus that drains from these sinuses. And that's when you get trouble, that's when you get your infections. They can be acute, lasting less than four weeks or chronic, lasting three months or longer. You happen to bring your sinuses with you in the form of this little model, which may be hard to make out on TV, but I think people, you can point to where the, it's not one spot where the sinuses are. Correct, correct. So this is a cross-section of the head right down the middle. And here we see two of the four pairs of sinuses. So this is the frontal sinus here, kind of right in front of your forehead, or right in your forehead. This is the sphenoid sinus, which is actually kind of in the middle of your head as you can see here.  So you can't really see it on this picture, but. You can see how if you had a problem in there, it would, there's no easy way out that way. Right, right. So yeah, there are very small drainage pathways for each of these sinuses. And if they get swollen, if the lining becomes inflamed and swollen, really things can get kind of stuck in there. What kind of pain do people get when they have a specific problem in one of those spots? So people will generally describe a specific pain in that location. For example, for the maxillary, the cheek sinuses, they will describe cheek pain or even tooth pain. They'll think it's a tooth infection. For the ethmoid sinuses, they'll describe pain between the eyes or behind the eyes.   Not to pick on quickie clinics, but when somebody shows up and has sort of vague, you know, it sort of hurts. Can they tell?  Yeah, so most of the time we have to discern from a constellation of symptoms. So it's not only facial pain and pressure, but it's also decreased ability to breathe through your nose, discolored drainage from your nose, and then changing your sense of smell. So really, we use those four constellation of symptoms to determine whether or not someone has a sinus infection. And based on that, that's where we, and then the duration of symptoms as well will determine how we treat the patient. We don't usually recommend for any other imaging or anything like that at that point in time when they present with an acute symptom. Let me remind our viewers, if you have a question about sinus issues, now is your chance. Give us a call. We'll have the phone number up on the screen. You can also email us live questions at mpt.org. And let's start with a question from a viewer, can reoccurring sinus infections cause damage to other nearby areas, the eardrums, the throat, the brain? So that's a great question. So acute sinus infections can cause complications. They can spread to the brain. They can spread to the eye. So they can be pretty detrimental. It's not necessarily the recurrence of them, but it's just if you have one very bad severe one. So yes, acute sinus infections can be very detrimental. And typically, we recommend if you've had an infection for over 10 days, or if you've had it at five days, if you have worsening in your symptoms, you really should get checked out by a physician. Okay, what does the physician do? What's the... Well, before that. Self-care. Yeah. I would probably load up on decongestants, pseudofed, maybe a saline spray. Is that... Yeah, exactly. So from, you know, when you first start noticing that you're coming down with something, you want to start with the symptomatic management. So decongestants, both topical and oral, the saline rinses. So I usually really tell my patients that, you know, it can't hurt to use a saline rinse, particularly if you're using one with distilled or boiled water. That helps to kind of flush the mucus out, flush anything out, and help to clean things out. And then symptomatic treatment in terms of pain management also can help at that point. You really, at the time when you're, if you notice improvement and then worsening after about five days or so, or if it's been about 10 days, that's when you really want to seek medical care. And what's the first thing medical care is going to do? So they're going to most likely put you on an antibiotic based on, at that point in time, based on your symptoms, and based on what the most common bacteria are that cause sinus infections. Not necessarily based on a culture, just a guess or a broad spectrum. Correct. Based on what the most common bacteria are that cause sinus infections. Does that typically resolve it? And how, over what period of time? Yeah, so that typically does resolve it. It can take, you know, a few weeks or so to feel kind of back to your baseline. But, you know, it's going to be about a 10 to 14 day course of medicine, depending on what the antibiotic is. Typically, if you go to an internist, they're not going to necessarily culture your nose because the sensitivity of that culture is pretty poor. But if you go to an ear nose and throat doctor, a lot of times we will take a look in the nose with a camera. And we will, if we see pus, we will culture it to get you culture directed antibiotics. I was going to ask how clogged up somebody can get. But let me ask this, is it is it seasonal? Is it do you see more problems with, you know, colds in the winter, hay fever in the springtime? Yeah, I think maybe I'm a little bit biased just because I'm an ear nose and throat doctor and a lot of people come to me specifically for that. So I see patients with sinus infections all year round. But yes, definitely in the wintertime when people have an increased, you know, incidence of upper respiratory tract infections in the fall and the spring with, you know, seasonal allergies, that definitely increases the prevalence of patients with sinus infection. Let's take a phone call. This is from Cecil County. Haleen on the line. Thank you for the call. Go ahead. I guess about almost three weeks ago, only three weeks Saturday, I fell on my face really bad. I had, and I got a CPC, and I had a concussion, but I didn't have any damage, but my whole face, my cheek was swollen, really big because it hit the eyebrow and the face. And is there, I'm still having sinus problems.  My goodness. Well, we'll get you an answer. Best of luck. Haleen, thank you for the phone call. Common? Yeah. So typically, you know, after facial trauma, you can definitely have a lot of facial pain. If she had any nosebleeds associated with this, you know, there can be some blood that remained in the sinus cavity, particularly in the cheek sinus, the maxillary sinus. And that can be a breeding ground for bacteria and for infection. So, you know, I would definitely recommend that she seek medical care, saline rinses again, definitely to help clean out that nose and see if there's anything else that needs to be done. Any further workup in terms of her trauma? Let's talk about netty pots. I think that's what they're called. Yeah. And it looks like a magic lantern. And you see people somehow pour water up one side of the nose and it comes out the other side. This doesn't sound like fun, but it must be helpful. Yes. I'm really a big, you know, netty pot enthusiast or saline rinse, I should say. We should have asked you to bring one and demonstrate. Yeah. So, you know, it's so basically it's water either boiled or distilled, plus a salt solution. And it's basically a shower for your nose. So you use it to clean out your nose and it really helps with what we call mucociliary clearance. So you want to basically help move that mucus along. So it's a great tool. It has minimal side effects. The one thing I do say is that some of the different tools that are out there can, you just want to be careful how you administer it because you can get some ear pressure or ear pain if you do it too forcefully. What is a sinus headache? You hear that mostly in advertising for medications. That's a great question. So we describe sinus headaches as frontal pain or sorry, excuse me, as pain or pressure in your face. There is really no actual true definition of a sinus headache. Headaches can be very multifactorial. And in fact, a lot of patients come in saying that they think they have chronic sinusitis.  So even despite having the symptoms of pain and pressure in your face, that may not necessarily be your sinuses. That may be another source of headache. You were email titled sense of smell from Chris. The question is, what's the best treatment for chronic and nosmia and nosmia. So I would definitely recommend being evaluated for that. There can be a lot of reasons why people have anosmia, which must be something about your sense of smell. Yes. Anosmia is complete loss of sense of smell. And it can be very detrimental to people. You know, it is very closely associated with your sense of taste. And so people, you know, it's a big quality of life factor. There are a lot of reasons why people lose their sense of smell. There can be an upper respiratory tract infection that causes it.  There can be, you know, chronic sinus disease, so inflammation of the sinuses. And then there can be other things that are, you know, more concerning like tumors. So it's definitely important to get that worked up and rolled out. Unfortunately, and depending on what it is that caused the loss of sense of smell will really kind of dictate how to treat it. Unfortunately, there's not much to do in a lot of patients who have loss of sense of smell. We're looking for answers for that in the Rhinologic community. Call from Delaware Sussex County. This is Cynthia. Cynthia, thank you for calling. Go ahead. Hi, I have a question. I've had a sinus infection for over a year. Recently, it's become worse. My sinuses are swelling. You could see the swelling through my skin where it's red. I'm having discharge coming through my pores, my eyes, my gums of my teeth. And now it's recently made little pinholes in my lips and the discharge is coming out of there. It's like white foam. I've been treated with augmentation. I'm on now and see the tonsil in the past. And it's still, I gland is swollen and it's still not good. Cynthia, let's before I run out of time, let me get an answer on the air. Thank you for the call. OK, thank you very much. What would you advise? Yeah, so if she hasn't seen an ear, nose and third doctor, I would definitely advise that she see somebody. She needs to have imaging. She needs to have most likely a culture of whatever that drainage is to see what the appropriate antibiotics are. And she may need surgery at that point. Uncommon to hear a case that severe. Um, you know, I do see a lot of patients who have chronic sinus disease. It's actually not that uncommon for me again. But the the level of severity where she's saying it's extended externally is quite unusual. Very good. Dr. Andrea Hebert, University of Maryland Medical Center, Top 10 in Odo Rhino Laryngology. Thank you very much. We appreciate it. Your health segments are a co-production of Maryland Public Television and the University of Maryland Medical System.


Well, let's see if we can develop an approach to finding the products that doesn't rely on having to do repeated addition. And so again, we'll start by using a concrete representation of our process. So let's consider the problem find 4 of 235 base 6. So again, here we're working in base 6, and what that means is that 6 of something will be the next larger unit. And so I can read this problem as saying I'm going to take 4 235 base 6's and I'm going to add them all together. Well, let's go ahead and set down our place value chart. Again, I don't actually need to draw out what each of the units looks like, but it's just a convenience. And I have my number 235 base 6, that's 2 of these, 3 of these, 5 of these. So let's go ahead and make a concrete representation of our number. So there's 2 of these, 3 of these, 5 of these, and there's our number 235 base 6. Now I want 4 of those. I'm taking 4 of these, so I'm just going to set down 3 more. So there we go. Here's our 1, 2, 3, 4 conveniently color coded, although it doesn't really make a difference. All right, so I'm going to run them all together. Here's my sum, addition is a compilation of objects. And again, I don't need those colors anymore, they were just there to keep track of things. And because I'm working in base 6, I need to bundle and trade, and I'm going to look for groups of 6. So here they are, group of 6, group of 6, group of 6, a couple of things left over. So I'll bundle and trade them. And trading, these are not where they should be. I'm going to move them over to here, and that puts them there. And there's my first bundle and trade. And I'm going to keep doing this. So again, bundle again, so here's a group of 6, here's a group of 6. I'm going to package them up for shipment, and I'm going to ship them out. And again, bundle, and package them up for shipment, and ship them out. And I can't do anything else at this point, so I can record the product by using our abstract symbols. And so what do I have here? Well, I have one of these, four of these, three of these, and two of these. So my product, 1, 4, 3, 2, base 6. There's my product in base 6. Now that's a lot of drawing out, so let's see if we can move on to a more abstract representation of the problem. So here's a different one, find 3 times 2, 5, 4, this time working base 8. So again, this is just a repeated addition. 3 of 2, 5, 4, base 8 is 2, 5, 4, base 8, plus 2, 5, 4, base 8, plus 2, 5, 4, base 8. And I can just do this as a repeated addition, and I'll set up my place value table. So I'm adding these, these, and these. Now again, arithmetic is mostly bookkeeping. And so what we're going to do is we're just going to keep track of how many of these we have, how many of these we have, how many of these we have, and we'll bundle and trade as necessary. And the important thing is that we want to stay within each of our places, because as soon as we move to another place, we can only move to another place through some amount of bundling and trading. We can stay within the columns, not a problem. Two of these, and two of these, and two of these. Well that's six of whatever these things are. Five of these, five of these, five of these. I'm going to abuse notation slightly and write down what we would record this as. 5, 5, and 5 is 15. Even though we're working base 8, this doesn't mean anything. This number 1, 5 doesn't mean anything in base 8. It's something that we understand what it means, but we'll have to do something with it at the end of the problem. And then 4, 4, and 4, that's going to be 12. And again, 12 doesn't mean anything in base 8. So we'll have to do something with it a little bit later on. And well, now is a good time since we've done all of our additions. So remember the last thing we have to do is we have to bundle, trade, and combine as necessary. And so since we're working base 8, then I want to look for sets of 8. So here, I have 12 things all together. And so I know I can find a bundle of 8, and then I have a 4 left over. So that 12 is now gone. I have a bundle of 8 and 4 left over. And I can trade this bundle of 8 for one thing in the next column over. And I'll combine those two. And now I have 16. Well, that's actually two bundles of 8. So I'll bundle and trade. So again, each of these becomes one thing in the next place over. And now I have a bundle of 8. And actually, I have this bundle of 8 very nicely right here. And so that's going to become one thing in the next place over. And my last step is I'm going to record the fact that I don't have anything of these, any of these, but I do have four of these. And one of whatever this largest unit is going to be. And so my final product is going to be 1004 base 8. Now there's a slight shortcut we can make that'll become an important step in developing our standard algorithm for multiplication. And no surprise, it's based on our definition of multiplication. So again, we did this as a repeated addition. And let's look at our repeated addition. What we had to do is we had to add 4, and 4, and 4, and get 12, 5, and 5, and 5, and got 15, 2, and 2, and 2, and got 6. Well, wait a minute. That's just a repeated addition. And what's our notation for repeated addition? Well repeated addition is a multiplication. So I added 3, 4 is together. That's 3 times 4. I added 3, 5 is together. And I added 3, 6 is together. And so what this suggests is that if I want to do this product, 3 times 2, 5, 4 base 8, how I can start is I can take each digit of my number and multiply it by 3. So here I get 3 times 4. I get 3 times 5. I get 3 times 2. And those are going to be the values, not necessarily the digits, because we have to do the bundling and trading, but those will be the values in each of our places. Hey, let's try that out. 7 times 2, 5, 7 base 8. So again, as a repeated addition, what I'd do is I'd add together 7, 2, 5, 7 base 8. And so in this first column, I'd get 7, 7s. Well, if I know something about multiplication, I can figure out what that is. In the next column, I get 7, 5s. And again, I can at least write that down, even if I don't know what that is. And then finally, I have 7, 2s in that third column. And again, if I know something about multiplication, I can figure out what those are, 7 times 7, and so on. And again, these numbers don't really mean anything because I'm working base 8. I do know I have 49 of whatever this is, 35 of whatever this is, 14 of whatever this is, but as a base 8 number, I'm not really done. However, it's worth noting what I have at this point is what you would call correct but not complete. It tells me how much I have. I have 49 ones, 35, 8s, and 1464s. So this is a actual value base 8. It's just not written in the correct manner. It is correct, but it is not complete. You have a few more things to do, and we can do that by bundling and trading. So this 49 has a whole bunch of 8s in it. In fact, it's got, I can take 48. That's a group of, that's a group of a bunch of 8s, and a 1 left over. And I can bundle and trade for 6 more in the next place. I'll combine those. This 41 has a bunch of 8s in it. There's my bundle, which I trade and combine. This 19 has a couple of 8s in it. There's my bundle and trade, and my number 2, 3, 1, 1, base 8, and that's my final answer.
