Daily Tech News show is made possible by you, our boss, thanks to all of you, including Irwin Sturr, Ken Hayes, Phillip Shane, and brand new patrons, Jeff and Ben. Welcome, Kevin. Yay, Jeff and Ben. On this episode of DTNS, is TikTok really worth all this security work? The first reviews are in for the Apple Vision Pro, and is Netflix now just television? Like, it's just TV, middle, mainstream, turn on the Netflix. This is the Daily Tech News for Tuesday, January 30th, 2024 in Los Angeles. I'm Tom Merritt. And from Studio Animal House, I'm Sarah Lane. I'm the show's producer, Roger Chang. And joining us from the edition newsletter, Charlotte Henry. Hello, hello. Welcome to London, I guess. It's London Calling. London Calling, exactly. Thank you. What do you think of Sarah's new studio name, Animal House? I basically only come on the show to hear what Sarah's going to name her studio on any given day. We've done Animal House for a couple of weeks now. Yeah, we've been trialing. I feel like we're settling in. You know, you don't see a lot of the animals, but I guarantee you it is an Animal House, so. Are you going to have to dress them in togas? Like in the movie, Animal House? I mean, I will. And I'll take photos. Please do. And put it, and Otis can put it on his Instagram. There you go. I mean, I won't do it. Why would I do that? He'll do that on his own account. I like how you said it like Sarah needed any kind of encouragement to dress the animals in togas. That was good. Look for it soon, ladies and gentlemen. Everybody likes a toga party, okay? Otis Reading Lane on Instagram. All right, let's start with the quick hits. After a recent Windows update, some users found that Microsoft Edge had automatically taken over their formerly open Chrome tabs, even if data importing from Chrome to Edge was never explicitly chosen. The Verges Tom Warren notes, it seems related to an import feature in Microsoft Edge itself, though it was disabled on his systems. Privacy and data data supply chain researcher Zach Edwards also shared that after a fresh install, he found a new prompt during setup that reads, with your confirmation, Microsoft Edge will regularly bring in data from other browsers available on your Windows device. This data includes your favorites, browsing history, cookies, autofill data, extensions, settings, and other browsing data. All things you might do if you wanted a browser to do that. So Microsoft doesn't deny that it is doing this and says data import is completed locally and stored locally, but that it will be sent to Microsoft if you sign in and sync your browsing data. That's a great feature if you want it on. It seems like there was a little glitch in the Windows update that caused it to turn on. Yeah, yeah, yeah, scared a few folks. Elon Musk posted that his Neuralink company has implanted it's, this is an important word that I don't see in the headlines, it's first wireless chip into a human, and that human is recovering well from the surgery. Musk says the product is going to be called telepathy and will let patients control computer interfaces by thinking it's a brain computer interface. Neuralink is the latest in many efforts to perfect a brain computer interface. If you're unaware, here's a couple. BlackRock Neurotech implanted its first chip in a human in 2004. Synchron's brain computer interface was used to post from a Twitter account by a patient in 2021. The Swiss school EPF's chip has helped a paralyzed man walk by thinking. Precision neuroscience is developing a simpler procedure for the implant called cranial micro slit so that it can be carried out in an easier and less risky manner and carried out its first clinical study last year. Paradromix is on schedule to launch its first full trial in human patients, not just one, but a clinical trial for multiple patients in the second half of this year. Neuralink has the benefit of receiving more attention than a lot of other efforts because of the prominence of its founder, but I thought you might be interested to know what else is going on out there. The Skylight calendar is a single purpose device, a screen that essentially shows just your family calendar so you can put it where everyone can see it. That would be like a whiteboard or something that was on a fridge or maybe even an Echo show. This would be something that would be another option. The Verge notes that Skylight has launched a new version of its wall-mounted family smart calendar called the Skylight Cal Max. 27 inches touchscreen, almost double the previous 15 inch version, and also has a higher resolution at 2560 by 1440. You can also get an anti-glare screen and buy interchangeable frames to help it match your decor if you care about stuff like that. If you do, Skylight Cal Max is available to order for $599 shipping this June. ICANN has proposed a new top-level domain that would never be used on the open internet, would not be recorded in the DNS tables. Dot internal would be used like you use 192.168 IP addresses, if you know what those are, but without needing to assign it to a subdomain because subdomains often have to be recorded in the public DNS root table. Subdomains aren't always in the DNS, but if they are similar to actual public domains, that can cause other issues. Dot internal would attempt to give a clean and private label to use for a company intranet. Next step is having ICANN's board sign off on the creation of the unusual domain. Hackaday reports on a video from Dr. Volt where he modified a mouse's simple camera sensor to act as a webcam. So if your mouse doesn't have a ball, it probably works by using an LED light and camera sensor. Dr. Volt figured out how to query the sensor information from a Logitech mouse's SPI, and an M at 12 lens was added, and now you can see low res monochrome images. Oh, hacking a mouse to be a camera.  I like it. Also fun is Project Texas. If you haven't followed our explanations of this before on the show, it is TikTok's effort to separate US TikTok user data from the rest of the world, specifically China, by putting it and a US version of TikTok's algorithm in an Oracle run data center, and then creating a separate company which has members of the US Committee on Foreign Investment on its board called USDS to manage the data and the algorithm for TikTok. And that has been going on since early 2023. Wall Street Journal has documents today showing that 2000 employees of USDS cannot keep up with the huge amount of code used to update the TikTok algorithm. Same problem exists for using user data to keep the moderation tools up to date. There's just too much for them to be able to handle, and there's all kinds of restrictions about how they can handle it that makes it even more difficult. So unsurprisingly, there's evidence of managers letting workers take some shortcuts which might have exposed some US data to members of TikTok outside of the US specifically in China. There are also memos chastising workers and managers for doing that. They December memo promised to roll out tools to make workarounds unnecessary and warned against circumventing the rules saying protected data should never be shared with global TikTok or ByteDance colleagues. I don't know, Charlotte, this just feels like it's one of those corporate situations that we've all been in if we've ever worked in a corporation where they're like, yeah, that's a great idea policy on paper, but you can't make it work in practice. I, for one, am shocked that this didn't work perfectly right off the bat, whoever could have foreseen that this would be complicated. If only, if only someone could have, could have foreseen that. I mean, Joe, to your side, I think I'm pleased to see the debate has moved on from should we ban TikTok, because that was kind of a bit petulant and a bit annoying and was not going to work. I mean, I heard, what, forgive me, I heard on another podcast, I do listen to other ones apart from DTNS. Of course. You're late to give me. It's okay. You can listen to someone made a point about the politics around the banning that Joe Biden, who is frequently criticized for his age, banning a young person's app, quote, wouldn't look very good. But whatever the reasons, I'm pleased that we've moved on from this, but on the technical side, this was always going to be complicated. However, you asked me before the show, Tom, we were chatting about, is this worth the effort? And yeah, yeah, is this is a lot of complex effort, right? Whether we should have been seen ahead of time or not. Is this the priority? Should we be spending all of these people's time on this? Or is there something more important to our security? I have come to the view over recent months, actually, we underestimate the sort of cultural political power of TikTok and the kind of cachet that gives China at our peril. Now, I'm very much not in the TikTok. He's going to bring down the world. We should ban TikTok camp. I'm very far from that. But I do think we should be aware of where it comes, the links the parent company has to the Chinese state. And Western nations should take some steps accordingly. However, as you've perfectly laid out in that, you know, details in that story, it's really very, very complicated and messy. But yeah, I do think some efforts are worth it. Whether they're going to be entirely possible is a whole different question. Yeah, Sarah, what about you? Where do you land on this? Well, I mean, I think this is whether you are cool with TikTok or think that it's a really bad situation, you know, for the young, the youngins. This does detail how many people actually are required to run an algorithm. I think a lot of people kind of go like, oh, algorithm, you just press and play.  If you're a human, very much not the case. TikTok is also, you know, an outlier in the sense that there are a lot of things that go on on TikTok that I think many other companies are very interested in when it comes to the algorithm. But again, behind that algorithm is a lot of people, you know, if 2000 people in the US, you know, trying to run TikTok, isn't enough. Well, you know, what's the conversation that we're all having now about everybody being laid off? Maybe more people have to, you know, help the robot. I don't think this is specific to TikTok either. I think that's the other thing is there's just as much of a problem on other platforms that aren't run by a company who has a headquarters in Beijing, and we're not doing anything near this level of complication to try to solve that. And this is apparently not even changing anything, as far as anybody could tell. There's not much evidence that there was abuse. There's not much evidence that anything has changed. And yet we have 2000 people, you know, racking their brains and trying hard to figure out how to duplicate an effort. It just seems like a waste of effort to me. But that's just that's just my sense. I think there's something else that comes up from the great point Sarah made, which is we talk about it happens with TikTok in particular, but I think it happens in tech in general, the quote unquote algorithm, as if it's this non human, totally self sufficient thing that we, we, you know, can't influence anymore. Algorithms are made by humans, they are run by humans, and they require in lots and lots of cases, human input, that is particularly the case in of TikTok where people are curating content and monitoring content and so on. And so I can understand why it's taken the efforts of thousands of people to try and tackle this. It's so popular. And I can see why it's taken that that level of effort, and it hasn't even got anyone very far yet. Yeah, because algorithms are made by humans, but they're also entirely unpredictable, right? They don't respond to your designs very easily. And that's why you need the humans, you know? Exactly. Like a human being like, well, that didn't work as intended. Well, this looks a bit weird. Maybe I need to press this button. So how's TikTok doing otherwise though? Well, Tom, I'm glad you asked. Actually, this is this is interesting. The Verge reports that some creators say that TikTok is encouraging them to make 30 minute long videos in horizontal format. Ooh, sounds positively, you know. I've had this one before. Yeah. Kind of sounds like YouTube, right? Okay, that's what I was going for. So as YouTube shorts seem to be taking off to make YouTube more like TikTok, TikTok is getting more into the landscape mode of YouTube. The two are becoming more direct competitors, even if neither company wants to explicitly mention the other when they talk about new things. That's what they're doing. Okay. To get the upper hand, you need to lure creators in offer them more ways to make money. That's why you retain creators. This is not rocket science. A new TikTok feature currently being tested, automatically identifies products in a video and then links over to a TikTok shop to find them or products like them. So that is, that's kind of where we are here. TikTok still being very short, you know, snackable content, but also long form. Yeah. And TikTok and YouTube becoming more alike, therefore becoming more direct competitors, meaning that you actually have a choice in a space. There has been no choice other than YouTube for the longest time. So that, that, that is an interesting development that I don't necessarily agree with you on that, actually, Tom. So first of all, there are other places you can get longer form video, should you want Vimeo daily motion, whatever, you know, it's not impossible to get longer than one minute videos elsewhere on the internet. And the other thing is, I can't, when I totally get your point about competition and being direct competitors, I do get what you're saying. I kind of also think, what's the point? I like TikTok because it was distinctive. And then Instagram has done reels and tried to compete with it that way. Obviously, we've seen YouTube shorts. And now TikTok is trying to go in the complete opposite direction of the thing that made it great and likeable and hugely, hugely, hugely popular. And I don't quite get it.  It's like, all these companies are, you know, they're trying to figure out what works best. Yeah. But then how is it of any benefit to the consumer if everything's the same? But it's not the same. You have different, different content on different platforms. That's my point anyway. And you have a choice. You have places you can go that are different. Maybe you'll even watch them in an Apple Vision Pro, Charlotte. Oh, maybe you will. I can't. Maybe you will. Well, if you buy one, and come over to my house on Friday, because I will with my co-host on Apple Vision Show, Eileen Rivera, will be hanging out with one of those, but wanted to talk a little bit about basically the embargo has lifted for a lot of people who have been playing around with the Apple Vision Pro. So we have, we have some thoughts from folks who have, you know, taken the whole thing for a test drive. First of all, Mac remersources say that Apple has sold approximately 200,000 Vision Pro headsets. That's up from, I think it was 160 to 180, the Mengxi quo had quoted, right around this time last week, after the initial push of the first weekend. Apple started accepting pre-orders for the Vision Pro on January 19th. So, all right, 10 days in. Here we are. 200,000 Vision Pros. Now you might say, well, that isn't a lot. And it kind of isn't. I mean, if you're comparing that to something like iPhone sales, but again, different product. All right. So we have some, we have some choice words from some of the folks who have done the due diligence of figuring out who this is for and why it is great. The Verge called it the best pass-through headset ever made. Neelay Patel said in his review, which is very good by the way, that the whole seeing someone's eyes behind their headset, not quite there yet. Still weird. Wall Street Journal's Joanna Stern said it's the best mixed reality headset she's ever tried compared that to the far cheaper MetaQuest Pro and Quest 3 saying they're all working toward building virtual experiences into something that looks more like a pair of regular eyeglasses. Until then, they're just messing with our heads. Going over to Tom's Guide. Tom's Guide said in its review, focusing on battery life, over two hours, the Vision Pro was down to about 60% and then down to 40% after another couple of hours. That will make a huge difference, especially if you're using this for in a work scenario. CNET though said, I thought this was kind of the most interesting. Not only is it good enough for movies, something Apple is touting constantly, but it's better than any TV in my house. Okay, so Charlotte, of all these reviews, what is informing your decision making the most, if any? Well, the key thing that's informing my decision is that you can't buy an Apple Vision Pro in the UK. They're only selling them in the US. But okay, let's just say that if I had three and a half thousand dollars, would I be spending it to spend on tech? Will I be choosing to spend it on an Apple Vision Pro? The answer is no. I am not surprised that the likes of Joanna Stern, Nilai Patel, people whose work I really, really love, are finding it's a really good experience compared to what they've tested. I'm not surprised that Apple has come up with a really good product. I'm just not. I mean, I will say though that all of these reviews, although obviously the reviewers, as you mentioned, they're good at this. They know what people are interested in and so those are the notes that they're taking. No one is saying, this is the best thing I've ever seen. This is the best thing I've ever used. This is interesting and we're not quite sure why they made these decisions. Yeah, the vibe seems to be, it's the best headset we've ever tried, but we still don't know why someone would need it and it still doesn't feel like a final product. Exactly. No one is saying, take out that overdraft. You've got to have one of these. That's just not what's happening. And the thing that is informing my decision, despite the excellent reviews from excellent reviewers, is that I cannot think of many use cases where it would exponentially improve what I need to do. So yes, it might be cool to take a meeting and using an Apple Vision Pro, but I'm kind of okay with my Logitech camera, right? It's fine. My life is good. It's fine. I don't need that. The idea of sitting and watching a two-hour movie with a headset on frankly horrifies me. Well, okay. So Charlotte, I wasn't getting into it with somebody all that much, but on X this morning, somebody had said, oh, this is sort of like, I'm paraphrasing, but it's sort of like people taking photos with their iPad like, so lame. Can you imagine people being on planes wearing their Vision Pro? And I'm like, that is the exact use case where this is awesome. Why would you be mad at somebody for work? They're basically going to sleep. Who cares if they're watching a movie at the same time? It's so funny that you mentioned that example because I did a preview of the Apple Vision Pro and discussing it in the kind of media context on the edition podcast with my friend, Jeff Gammett. And I was like, if someone sat down next to me on a plane with one of those headsets on, I would really freak out. Like, what are they watching? What are they doing? People used to be like that with the iPhone.  If the Vision Pro takes off, that stuff goes away. The question is, will it take off? One way to follow this is our brand new Apple show, Apple Vision Show, applevisionshow.com, Sarah Lane and Eileen Rivera are kicking that off next Monday when Sarah gets the actual Apple Vision Pro and Eileen and her are going to both try it out. We're so pumped. Yeah. I know. And before we get off this topic real quickly, we had a couple of great emails and non-Junior said, I'm with Chris Ashley. I just don't see it helping with the Executive Oversight Committee. But he did see that it might benefit from a 3D model. And he even followed that up. He's like, now that I'm more I'm thinking about it, there might be a little 3D help here for what he does. He's a luthier, somebody who repairs stringed instruments. And then Andrew wrote, I was wondering what a luthier was. Andrew wrote in and said, with the Apple Vision Pro, the promise of a massive screen that you can throw in your backpack is really enticing for me as a software developer. Now, a couple of the reviews I saw, I talked about how big this thing is when it's in the case. So it may or may not be as convenient as you think, Andrew. But thank you both for giving us your opinions.

Last week, Netflix announced a 10-year deal with TKO Holdings to bring WWE's Monday Night Raw and other WWE content to the streaming service in 2025. Coincidentally, Netflix also announced the departure of film chief Scott Stuber, who will be with the company until March, but then he's out of there. In a recent Bloomberg opinion piece, Paul Hardart from NYC Stern School of Business thought, you know, this is a sign that the company isn't just cutting back on costs. We already knew that, but maybe pivoting away from high cost original films towards traditional TV content, the kinds of things you see on broadcast TV, dramas, sitcoms, reality TV, and he added the ability for Netflix to compete with network TV seems to be at a tipping point, not just for Netflix, but for streaming services in general. Charlotte, is this a major threat to so-called linear TV? Well, I think we were at the major threat stage many, many years ago. I think that major threat has passed and had its effect. What I find interesting is this idea that Netflix is not going to make the big hit movies anymore. And while I understand the argument, I find it hard to imagine that. Now, I can see maybe they'll make fewer and make sure that what they have is the hits, but the idea that the main thing it's going to focus on is kind of competing with the 30-minute network comedy and stuff. I find that unlikely. But saying that, you know, when we all looked at that data, you know, that spreadsheet that Netflix put out towards the end of the year showing the most-watched shows, loads of us were like, well, I've never seen that. I've never heard of that. And that's because it's not always the flashy stuff that gets the hours of viewing, right? Yeah. I think that's a really important thing to bear in mind talking about Netflix now. Did you see the Nielsen report? This was just for the U.S., but it found that the top 10 most streamed TV shows of 2023 were all library shows, no originals. Ted Lasso was the top stream original, but it didn't crack the top 10 overall. Right. And, I mean, Apple, we're very pleased with that given it's very limited catalog, but that's a slightly different discussion. I think we have underestimated, I've written about this before, actually, the importance of the library. So think about, say, Paramount Plus. I mean, the originals are okay. People kind of got into the curse, didn't they? But you don't take out a Paramount Plus subscription because you want to watch the curse. You take out Paramount Plus subscription because you want to watch all of Star Trek, right? Exactly. Yeah. And maybe the new ones too, but yeah, the entire library is there all together. Yeah, it's not for, I mean, the HBO sort of model of like, I want to watch that one series. That is a tough sell these days because you have so many other options. I think Netflix getting WWE makes it take a step towards being a replacement for linear TV. And I know streaming is good. We all knew it was replacing cable and broadcast. That's not the news here. The news is that Netflix isn't prestige. Netflix isn't becoming HBO before HBO becomes it, like they said back in the days. Netflix is becoming ABC, CBS, NBC, or BBC ITV Channel 4. It's mainstream stuff. Whereas Apple is trying to do the HBO game. Fewer shows, fewer films, but they want them to all be high-end. It wants you to think of it as the high-end streamer.  And it's working.  Turns out it doesn't matter. They all watch suits. Even though suits was available on Peacock in the U.S., they still watch suits on Netflix. Yeah. I mean, I've gone through all sorts of, I think I did the whole of how I met your mother on there at one point. Like, we've all done it. But just if we have a moment to talk about the WWE thing and the live sports thing. Because, you know, you and I have talked about this, Tom, on both of our shows. Like, is Netflix going to do live sport? It's been sniffy about it for years. I think in that newsletter I wrote today, there was a quote from Ender's Analysis, who's an analysis firm in the UK, who was slightly telling us to calm down about this. So basically saying, look, the WWE deal doesn't mean Netflix is now definitely going to go and buy NBA rights, which are definitely agree. And I think that's right. And we have to remember that Netflix's record with live stuff is kind of mixed at best. And I think we're taking a big risk here with WWE, people who like WWE really like WWE. And you cannot screw that up live. People want to watch that live, you've got to get it right. And so it's a really big pressure moment for them. And I can understand why they're like taking the sort of baby steps they are to get into the space, and to see if they really want to get involved and splash that cash around to compete with Amazon for the NFL or Premier League, whatever you want to pick out. But it isn't really, I mean, it's not a competition. If you want WWE, you will go to where you can find that. And that's where that seems like such a clinch for Netflix because get it, wrestling term. I didn't even do that on purpose. I'm a poet. I don't know. My question to you then is how many people who care about WWE, and I accept there are a lot of people that care about WWE. How many millions? How many of them don't have Netflix already? I don't think Netflix cares because retention is important as acquisition. And so if they can keep a bunch of people that might have canceled otherwise, that works. I would look at Netflix's live strategy as being entertainment oriented because you can have this argument as WWE sports or entertainment. It's both. It is one of the most unique boths that exist. I think Netflix, first of all, I think they screw up one of the lives and everybody gets mad, but then everybody gets over it and they get good at it and it's going to be fine. I'm going to call that right now. But I also think we're going to see them do more awards shows. Remember, they're doing SAG after awards. I wouldn't be shocked if Netflix angles to get the Oscars at some points angles to get the Grammys. That seems consistent with what and that kind of works as a brand, right? We are the home of entertainment. You love movies and TV. So do we come and watch the Emmys and the Oscars on our streaming service? It works. And frankly, I suspect some of the next networks from what I see of the viewership numbers will be very pleased to not have to pay for put on that show anymore. Yeah, maybe. Well, Charlotte Henry, thank you so much for bringing the knowledge to our show here. Let folks know where they can keep up with the rest of your work. Head over to theaddition.net. I'm bringing blogging back and we're going to put loads of updates there. And as you can see, there is also a newsletter link. So if you want to head straight over to newsletter.theaddition.net, you can get that stuff straight to your inbox. Fantastic. Thank you, Charlotte. Patrons, stick around. We're going to keep this conversation going beyond just what's Netflix doing to what do we want TV to look like? Yeah, we kind of talked about the fact that like, all right, broadcast is on its way out. Cable is on its way out. Streaming is on its way in, but it's way too complicated. So what do we want it to do? Stick around for that conversation. Just a reminder, you can catch our show live Monday through Friday at 4 p.m. Eastern 2100 UTC. Find out more at dailytechnewshow.com slash live. Join us live if you can. We'd love to have you. We'll be back tomorrow talking about Blizzard's new president with Scott Johnson because he has thoughts. Back to you then. The DTNS family of podcasts. Helping each other understand. Diamond Club hopes you have enjoyed this program.

So first I would like to thank the organizers for their very nice invitation and for organizing also all this semester. So today I will talk about a joint work with Erwan Fawou and Eveline Mio that concerns vortex filaments and more particularly parallel vortex filaments in case they are colliding. So what is a vortex filament? It is a fluid where 3D fluid where the vorticity is concentrated along a curve in R3 and of course collisions and the reconnection of vortex filament is something that happens in turbulent fluids so it's an important phenomena and but of course it is very difficult to capture this kind of things mathematically however it is expected that one situation which is rather simple to understand is the case of two almost parallel vortex filaments with opposite circulations as it was suggested by Crow's work in the 70s. So it is the case I mean it is the situation that you can see actually in the sky if the weather is good so you see the two trace of the plane white trace in the sky so these are vortex filaments with opposite circulations that propagate and eventually as times go by they finally they finally reconnect and well then start to start to doing a vortex ring and other things. Actually Crow's paper appears in American Journal of Astronautics and Dynamics or something like this which of course is a journal very hard to obtain for a mathematician. However this picture you can see it in the sky and during your life now that you have seen this talk you'll notice it at one point and you'll think about this talk. Well okay so now you want this is what happened in real life now you want to transcribe it mathematically and of course through the fluid mechanics equation this is something very difficult because the situation is very singular however there is at my knowledge one model that do this kind of modellization so first if you take a vortex filament okay let me call so we are in R3 let me call Z the axis like this okay rotation okay and fix some height a level so you are in R2 here okay and then if you call the coordinates in this plane xj and yj then then if you complexify the plane here which you just say you are looking what what's happening for xj plus i yj for one filament j of circulation gamma j there is a system that is supposed to model this evolution in fluids which is due to Klein, Maida and Damodaran and actually it was do prior to Zakharov precisely in the case where n equals 2 and you have so you have to a pair of vortex filament with opposite circulation so it's precisely the slide you had before the situation you had before so Zakharov was interested in collision for the anti-parallel what is called the anti-parallel pair of vortex filament and he derived also this model of course Klein, Maida and Damodaran really wrote a paper generalized to several vortex filament and derived in a more clear way this model so let me say a few words about this model so it is lucky for us the dispersion community it is a Schrodinger system so why a Schrodinger system this can be realistically explained by the following two facts you have the linear Schrodinger part is supposed to model the interaction of the filament with itself actually the linear Schrodinger part is actually a very rough approximation of the the binormal flow or vortex filament equation which is a model for the evolution of one single filament and it's a model which is more complicated actually it's in link with the cubic NLS so in here we one takes just the linear part actually if you plug if you plug this ansatz epsilon smaller spot perturbation into the binormal flow you'll obtain as a first amina as a leading terminal in epsilon you'll obtain the linear Schrodinger equation okay so this is for the interaction of one filament the J's filament with itself and then you have an extra term which is supposed to model the interaction the influence of other filaments to the J's filament and actually this this kind of interaction is precisely the one that appear in the case of 2d fluids when you have point vertices so with the reduction to 2d and well of course one thing that one could criticize for this model is that roughly in some sense the the influence on the J's filament from the other filaments is supposed to come only at high at fixed highs through the point vortex system in some sense it's kind of you don't see the interaction from the other heights from the other filaments but I mean this is the model and this is the only one we have so of course if you if you freeze the the Z variable okay you get as a particular solution of of this problem filaments that are located that are located precisely precisely in places in R2 evolving through the vortex point system okay so these are particular solutions and we are studying perturbations small perturbation near parallel at infinity of this particular solution of the system okay so of course I criticize quite a lot more than maybe I should have done and the model but as a counterpart except the fact that well this is the only model we have it has a very nice mathematical structure which probably means something physically okay so it is it is a Hamiltonian and it has several conserved quantities in blue I put what corresponds to the point vortex system in 2d as conservation laws and I put it in here because of course you have to normalize things because your system of Schrodinger equation is not with the vanishing condition at infinity you are near some some constant depending on time okay so before going further with filaments I will say a few words about what is known for the for the point vortex system before because we shall work around stride parallel and light located in the point vortex system solution so the first thing is that if circulations are all positive gamma j are all positive then the solution exists globally in time in here in this context like globally global existence means we want to avoid collision collision means that at some time well two point vortices just bump one into each other and at the level of the filament collisions will be there is a time and allocation such that such that when your two filaments get okay so I was saying that when circulation are all the same the point vortices system evolves but but you never have collision for a simple fact that on the first line if by any chance you have collision meaning xj getting too narrow to an xk then your logon it will blow up and then in order to have conservation you have to have another pair at least of j of k such that the difference goes to infinity and then you have a contradiction for from this part which says that all differences must be bounded uniformly in time so when you have a circulation of same sign the you have global existence don't have collision for the vortex point system well in the particular case n equals 2 you actually have that the distance is preserved between two vortices so the point translate in the case of opposite circulation and rotate otherwise and we the case of the aircraft at the beginning is the case where the the two point vortices circulates translate with uniform velocity depending on the initial distance and we'll looking for a collision of perturbation of straight filament located in that pair of vortices okay since even at the 2d level start being more and more complicated of course when you increase the number of of of elements of points so already when n equals 3 of course if you take a circulation that are not the same and there is a simple example of three points well chosen such that the whole picture will eventually collide at all the three will will collide at the same point the the the triangle will turn and shrink at the same time and the the last two things are some special configurations special solution of the point vortex system that I will use in in my talk so it is known that an equilibria for the point vortex system is is the one where you place you take the vertices of n polygon regular polygon for instance hexagon okay and you put the same circulation and then it is known that this configuration if you let it evolve to the vortex point system it will just rotate with some angular velocity which is determined by the circulation and the radius of the hexagon and also it is known that you can allow also to take the center to put a vortex point in the center of the configuration with other circulation than the one in here and the angular velocity is computed again in terms of this this swaps okay so these are the results for the point vortex systems and now maybe half half of my talk will be about what is known about the Klein mind the modern Zakarov system for vortex filaments that we saw on the second slide and I will insist on what was done before for two reasons first in some sense to convince you that it is a nice system because precisely we'll we'll see that it has many classes of particular solutions and also because there are not so many results so we can list them I hope all of them if I'm not skipping some the reason they are so few results is two-fold one from the fluid dynamics community of course if you are trying to work directly in the fluid equation the the situation is too singular we are working on this model which can be criticized a lot of course but in any case the situation from fluids is too too singular and on the other hand why this hasn't been studied too much for instance for by the dispersion community because eventually you end up with a Schrodinger system it is that I mean at least from my point of view of course many people didn't know about the model but also because it is not just a Schrodinger usual system it is a Schrodinger system with non non vanishing condition at infinity which means more gross p type ski equation and if you follow what is happening already in the gross p type ski equation community results concerning really evolutionary in time solution not just a stationary solution and started just around the years of 2000 I guess okay so I think that's that are some explanation so let me point out what are the what are the results we we have so first the results obtained by people that derive this model when deriving this model they conjecture that precisely one have to look for collision in the case of two anti-parallel vortex filaments so it was a conjecture and also they predicted that in case of same circulations one should have global existence on a collision and only numerical computation were given to to to convert to these these conjectures okay another result due to Lyons and Maida is concerning the statistical theory for this this configuration of several clusters of of vortex filaments but of course in their case they they took in account a very weak formulation of the equation which doesn't allow you to look precisely for for collisions and then Koenig-Ponce Vega looked at the system and they consider small perturbation in at the h1 level they prove on one hand the local existence in for any initial configuration xj and any circulation and they manage to extend the local existence of course basing themselves on an energy argument so the energy they use is the one here which is the Hamiltonian plus actually this part in the case where the distance between any two point vortices is the same this part is precisely the separation momentum that I show initially divided by this guy or equivalently this guy in this in this setting and then once you have this energy conserved you you manage to to obtain a global existence results of course this this condition is very restrictive because if you have points in the plane that are constrained to have same distance from one to each other then of course you can have only two points any two points or the vertices of an acrylatorial triangle okay also there there are work that have been done and are currently done for nearly parallel vortex filaments in the 3D Ginsburg-Landau equation and I think Roger I will maybe talk to us more about this tomorrow and then I had several results with Eveline Mio that I will explain in the next slides and the last but not the least there is a result recent of Garcia-Spacia Craig and Young which treated the time and space solution periodics close to the correlating pair of filaments so same circulation at opposite okay so these are the known results so now I said that I will recall what we have done with Eveline so first since you have in mind that you are in a Gross-Petyevsky setting you you try to solve to see everything in terms of the energy instead of just H1 and because of course more H1 implies most energy but not conversely and also I mean just the initial system is invariant on the rotation and if you take a rotation the difference is of course we are just constant and they're not in H1 and moreover also in the spirit of Gross-Petyevsky equation the energy space contains the gray soliton meaning traveling waves with the finite energy which are important solutions for the Gross-Petyevsky equation and also in here we'll see that we have something similar and the proof of course uses a fixed point argument that allowed the growth of the L2 so you don't stay small in H1 you allow the L2 norm to grow in time of course now if you want to pass from local to global existence you need the energy as before and actually you have seen it in the slides before it is conserved for the equilateral triangle and for two points by simply dividing some conserved quantity over the distance between the points but actually you can go further and compute precisely how the energy for instance if you take the square if you take a square or a hexagon here if you can express it in terms of the non-conserved quantities and to see what is left aside and see if by some symmetry imposed to the system you don't have a conservation of the energy and actually you realize that if you want this you really have to impose very much symmetries either I mean not both on the on the initial configuration of the xj and also on the perturbation and actually this kind of symmetry is preserved if you just at each height you at each height let's say we are at height z you just do multiplication by a complex number so you delayed by the modulus of the complex number and you rotate everything by the argument of the complex number so your hexagon will still be a hexagon at each height z and this is something which is preserved by the by the system and the answer is the one there so you multiply all the straight filament by the same thing at each height and then actually you you see that okay the result is that you have global existence you see that the equation the system all the system initial system reduce to this very nice equation omega is the is the the angular velocity of your regular polygonal configuration of point vertices and of course it is really a gross p-type equation you have a natural energy and actually realize that the energy of the system is and time this this energy and then of course you you extend to global existence so now that we have this very nice equation which is gross p-type like you can you can derive many classes of solutions and of course first of them you can obtain as is done in the gross p-type setting a little bit more complicated but not too much really not too much you can obtain a traveling waves and you have actually you can transcribe I mean you don't even transcribe you just say it works I mean it's very simple to transcribe everything from gross p-type skip so then this means to view so okay let's say it is a square so this means that on each filament you have something that is moving and this is one one thing and also if you use the Galilean invariance of the system Schrodinger system initial Schrodinger system you realize that you can you can transform these things into four helices that I wanted very nicely okay whatever no this is not okay okay so on each helices helix helix you have something some some distortion that moves along it so why talking about helices because precisely Hopfinger and Bruand wrote a paper in nature when they showed that you can really it is in superfluids you can exhibit helices with with the distortion that that evolves like this for several vortex filament their paper was to comfort the fact that has emotions work on one filament gives you the picture when you have only one helix with the distortion moving on it but actually in the lab experiment you have several so this fits with what is seen at least in superfluids okay so then collision let's not forget that the exciting point is collision for vortex filaments well in this case of taking the regular xj configuration and symmetric perturbations so ending up with that gross pitaevsky equation when the angular velocity of your initial configuration is zero your gross pitaev equation is just the linear Schrodinger equation and collision means that you want everybody to collapse meaning that you are looking to to a place time and place where phi tz equals zero okay so then you can just just write by hand a very simple linear Schrodinger solution that cancels at time zero and z and space height zero which means that you are all your vertices collide of course for having the the angular velocity equals zero actually you have to put a point in the middle of your polygonal configuration so this means that you have at least three point vertices so you don't cover the the case of pairs of filaments so now we are getting back to the the problem of two filaments which is the aim of my talk okay so Zakharov suggested that solution should be search under some that symmetry okay of course along the anti-parallel vortex filament and then the the problem reduces to this Schrodinger equation with a quite exotic term in here and what you are interested in are solutions for this Schrodinger equation that that initial time don't vanish and that finite time vanish at some point so it is a quite non-non-usual study of the Schrodinger equation however it is a pleasure to quote a paper by Marla and Zag which is not so quoted in general but yeah yeah we are the first one so they had the same type of problem so quenching for the vortex air connection in another situation which ended up with a with a problem of this type of finding finding some solution vanishing at the point in finite time for the non-linear wave hit hit sorry hit equation and actually for this purpose we try to follow of course the thing the paper but there were some major issues so the idea in the paper is to replace your unknown function by one over your unknown function so you are looking for a solution that blow up at one point of course in the case of the heat equation there is another previous paper of Marla and Zag that gives you such a dispersive blow-up wave a heat and so sorry heat solution and that they managed then to put it as an ansatz in their their equation in our case well you you replace XI1 by 1 over F then you end up with the Gross-Pitevsky type again equation non-linear equation with some nasty term derivative terms and everything well you will need some object around which you want to do your your ansatz such an object that you can find it now in the literature is a paper by Bona Ponce Sparber so and Sparber so Gross-Pitevsky solution that displays a dispersive blow-up at the point but of course the regularity is such that you don't manage in our case to to write an ansatz in this equation transform with some derivative terms so it doesn't work so we get back to Zakharov work which said just this one can look for a self-seminar solution with that conditions at infinity so straight line and of course there is no proof in Zakharov's paper and in Maida and Bertoltz's book it's put as a major open problem to find such a similar solution and that's what we have done with the one for when they've been me also we constructed a first a self-seminar solution that that that will give you collisions of filament so it is something like this and of course as times go to zero they will end up colliding and that collision time it will be just a cross cross lines of course you are not in the case you wanted initially because your your filaments are bent at infinity but then what we do is that we managed to unbend them because now we have the ansatz the ansatz will be precisely the the self similar solution and actually up posteriori this is a very natural thing you are looking to some singularity formation well you have lots of chances to find it by using some self-seminar feature so we managed to find a self similar solution for our model then we cut it and we completed to an equation of the of the initial system so eventually your solution is really like this so you have collision in finite time at one point so I will say in the five minutes I have left we say some words about the proofs so okay okay okay you can do the same thing so here it was for two vortex filaments actually you can take the symmetric configuration and then write a self similar solution for the that gross pitevsky equation that governs the the evolution and then you will end up by the same argument by constructing also a configuration that will collide at at the middle in finite time okay some words about the proof so for the self similar profile you just look at the profile equation you you cut it in to I mean you really rewrite the unknown function V you call it this and then you have some equation in V where you you can express it in terms of V so you end up by doing a fixed point which is not so complicated in a space that allows you to control the denominator so it's it's not so so complicated so this is for for the self similar profile you start from infinity and you just construct it and now for the for the for the system for two nearly parallel filaments well you put these answers as we said then you write the equation for your reminder are you want that this little r won't ruin what's happening at the collision time meaning that remember that you want a collision meaning that you don't have collision before the collision the expected collision time and collision at the expected time and this is is what you already have for the self similar solution now when you add that little r you don't want it to give you some cancellation before you don't you want to keep your self similar behavior leading with respect to to little r so for doing this you have to impose that little r will go to zero faster than the self similar profile just this okay so you have an equation for little r with some some terms whatever and then you will do a fixed point as usual decay in in h1 with some rates of decay and moreover you will have to ensure yourself that locally at at zero at the place you want to see the collision you are decaying to zero less faster than the self similar profile at the constant the constant of of decay will be smaller okay and then of course this this kind of sinks one can see it also has been done for instance in the case of blow up at critical mass for cubic NLS on to the domains by Bertrand Wettkopf you take the the self similar solution blowing up on our to you cut it and then you you construct a little reminder are that goes to zero so it's it's the natural thing to do and then you for treating the equation for doing the fixed point you just get point-wide estimates near zero and that infinity and then also I'll to and they try and estimates for the reminder terms in the equation of are and then you just use trick arts estimates and some commutator with the localization for the an infinity estimates near zero and that's all okay thank you for attention so okay so when you look at it just one way I don't know there well actually if you look at what is the solution at time zero okay at time zero you'll have and in zero you'll have this guy is real this is zero okay and then actually you have several depending on how you've chosen your your cutoff yeah yeah yeah that's for sure but then the shape you have several I mean yeah you'll have you'll have a corner but then you'll have some this part I mean yeah no our sub-summoner solution are not unique and actually we can talk about it but there should be another one would survive if you fatten the people a little bit if you think in which frame okay so of course that's what we are why we're working on models I expect this will work but to to to see I mean this model is supposed to be valid up to distance between the filaments is much larger than the core size of the tubes so of course game over at some point before this beautiful picture happens but but but but but but my time but what is book says that it is seen in numerical simulation in in fluid dynamics equation that when when the you you are at the balancing point where separation distance and quarter section are equivalent then it you will have a reconnection no no I don't know I really don't know and you will from free dynamics you just have numerics and well they else should be interesting to see with this kind of of solution which will give us through numerics in free that that that will take I mean I you have to have super computers so what I mean is not thank you


Starring Tyrone Power as young Tom Jefferson on the Cavalcade of America sponsored by the DuPont Company. Maker of better things for better living through chemistry. 1776. When in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another. And to assume among the powers of the earth, those are the opening words of the Declaration of Independence. Words which fix the people's mind on liberty and independence. They were written by Thomas Jefferson 160 years ago in a quiet little room in Philadelphia. No man was at his shoulder to whisper suggestions. No ancient tomes were dog-eared for paraphrasing. The thoughts were his and his alone. What he wrote with the experience of his own eyes and ears, injustices he'd encountered, human miseries he'd seen, recollection of ideals he had dreamed. It is of these simple and profound thoughts that this Cavalcade plays about. A play called Young Tom Jefferson, in which Tyrone Power is the star. You've been most kind and helpful to me, gentlemen. On the contrary, I should think Mr. Jefferson, Mr. Adams and I have placed the whole burden on your shoulders. I'm all too much aware of the responsibility, Dr. Franklin. I trust you will bear with me. I work slowly. Well, if mankind has waited 2,000 years for what we are about to say, they doubtless can afford to wait another week or two. And yet you are aware our need is pressing, unless this declaration can unite the states behind us. That, Mr. Adams, is the thought that weighs most heavily upon me. If there's anything you need of us. Oh, thank you. Well then, Mr. Jefferson, it appears the matter now is in your hands. Oh, by the way, had you thought what to call this document? Well, I thought merely to call it by the simplest name, Declaration of Independence. Oh, excellent. Simple and direct. Well then, good night, Mr. Jefferson. Good night, sir. Good night, gentlemen. Good night. A lay young Thomas Jefferson walks over to the little desk before the fire. Slowly sits down before the first blank piece of paper. Slowly takes the goose-blow pen between his fingers. The day has come. A little room of silence, save for the faint whispering of the fire. Slowly the pen moves. On the blank paper, the first momentous words appear. When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth. Whence come these words? Out of what earliest dreams and questioning, out of what hopes and memories, what wisdom or beauty of the past, what well-remembered thoughts and phrases exchanged in other days with some nameless stranger or beloved friend. A lifetime is in these words, a life of many printed pages of growth and pondering of talking and listening. Slowly, from the dark labyrinth of the memory mind, come thoughts first fixed in years long gone by. Thoughts to be stated now on the paper before him. For Jed, who said it, what he would do if he were free. Work, he said. Work and build a home. Raise a family. Strange to remember the song they were singing. Jed sitting in his cabin door and in the eyes of their creator are as one. What do you call that song, Jed? Is that muston? Nothing special. Just a song about Moses. Is that your favorite song, Jed? Well, we like it all right, muston. Why do you like it so much? Why? Well, of course, it goes good. Is it because Moses let the people out of slavery? That might be one reason. What would you do if you were free? Work. Seems I'm working now. What else? Oh, maybe I'd go into the back country, get me a little farm, raise me a family of my own. Is that what you think there is to being free? That's the most of it, all right then. Oh, I think there's more to it than that, Jed. That's hard work, too, but I wouldn't want to be a slave. There is more than that, muston. I don't know whether I can exactly spring it to you, because you've never been a slave and I've never been free. But I reckon it's something about the way you feel inside yourself. Something in the way you walk, work, and wear your laugh. Maybe it don't seem like such a big thing if you got it. But I reckon it's a mighty big thing if you ain't got it. You're right, Jed. It's a big thing to have, and not to have, to be self-evident. That all men are created equal. That they are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights. That among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. That to secure these rights. Some of the words are written into the one man. There were those who said it could not be, and later those who fought to make it so. The pen moves on, in other words, appear. Words to bring men from their farms and shops, from ships and country houses.  More readily now, as thought provokes thought and memory stirs memory, the years of reading, of seeing, of thinking, the years of preparation, of proving themselves. It's a long time since Tom Jefferson resolved that he would master words and not be their slave. But as he writes, fleeting memories passed swiftly through his mind, memories of an upstairs chamber of the plantation house at Sherbrooke, where a gaunt, giant figure of a man lies quietly in a four-poster bed. Peter Jefferson, his father, ill and slowly dying. The next speech, where it says, I have lived long enough. Read that, Tom. I have lived long enough. My way of life has fallen into the sea or the yellow leaf. And that which should accompany old age as honor, love, obedience, troops of friends I must not look to have. But in their stead, curses. Not loud but deep. Mouth honor. Breath which the poor heart would feign deny and dare not. Yes, that's it.  A pity though to put such fine words in the mouth of such a tyrant as Macbeth. That's the man's genius, Tom. That's one reason Macbeth became a king. He became a king because he murdered all who stood in his path. Does every murderer become a king? Ah, no, Tom. It's not as easy as that. Macbeth had eloquence to make men follow him in spite of his crimes. There have been others like him. There'll be more to follow. Then it behooves all honest men to be more eloquent than the tyrants. True, Tom, if they can. Tom, what you've just said puts me in mind of something I've meant to speak of for some time. What, Father? There's one thing I want you to promise me. Yes, Father, what is it? It's what we were speaking of just now. The power of words. I've always been a strong man. I've made my way with brawn and sweat. But often I've thought how much better I could have served my family and my country if I had had more learning. I want you to be what I could not. You've been everything to us that anyone could ask. Go on with your schooling, Tom, no matter what. Read. Read everything you can. By reading words, you learn to use them. To me, they've always been a tyrant. Let you be their master. This country one day will have need of men who know the power of words. Promise me you'll do this, Tom. I promise, Father. Now read the next speech. You know the one? Yes, Father. Cans fell not minister to a mind diseased. Pluck from the memory, a rooted sorrow, graze out the written cobbles of the brain. Out of the shadows of the past, the memory of an anxious father and other memories crowding back, the events and turmoil of the hastening years of young George Washington helping to win for England the whole frontier country from the Appalachians to the Mississippi. The stamp back passed by Parliament of nine colonies gathered in convention to protest. Memories of himself training to be a lawyer of a corridor outside the courtroom in Richmond, of a gangling farmer from the back country talking to him. And what happened then? Well, Mr. Jefferson, when this tax collector came, I told him I could give him nothing, as I had nothing. What did he say? Say, he just laughed at me. He went out to the shed. I followed him. He found the grain I had there, only enough to get us through the winter, the very most. He said he knew I was lying, and he was going to take the grain. Then I went back to the house and I got my rifle. He had no right to take your grain. That's how I figured. Did you threaten him? Well, sir, I was pretty mad. I was born in this country. The crown gave me no help. I cleared that land with my own hands, and I told him to be starved out of it by any thieving tax collector. That's what I told him. I was holding the rifle when I said it. It was unwise, perhaps, but you were provoked. And you were within your rights in the protection of your property. What do you recommend? Do it to me. Oh, the worst I think is to hold you in debt until such time as you can pay. But if I know the temper of juries nowadays, you'll get off scot-free. Oh, the court is sitting. We'd best go in. Clerk will call the first case. Crown vs. John Landon on the complaint of his Majesty's Officer of Exile, William Sharp. Is the defendant represented by counsel? I am representing the defendant. May it please your lordship. How do you plead for your client? Not guilty, your lordship. And I respectfully move for a jury trial for my client at an early session. Motion denied. This is no case for a jury, Mr. Jefferson. Your lordship, every subject has a right to a trial by jury? Not in these times. But your lordship, even if my client were a common thief... Mr. Jefferson, I am charging your client with sedition. Sedition? His utterances to an officer of the Crown were of a most seditious nature. Such as might well cause him to be deported. I sentence him to one year in prison. Next case. Your lordship. Well? Your lordship, I... I do not intend to let this man go to prison. I shall put a bond for his appearance and carry his case to Parliament if necessary. But one thing I must tell your lordship. There is no sedition in these colonies. There is no disloyalty to the Crown or to its officers yet. But if it comes and come, it surely will if such injustices persist.  The Virginia House of Burgesses. There in 1769 at a front bench sits Youngtown Jefferson, just 26 years old. His Excellency, the governor. Gentlemen, I have before me the document of your complaint directed to His Majesty the King and presumably at himself as his appointed governor of this colony. These complaints ostensibly concern themselves with certain alleged injustices in the matter of taxation. I find them far more serious than that. To my mind, what you have written falls little short of treason. Therefore, in accordance with the power vested in me, I hereby declare this assembly dissolved. I declare this assembly dissolved! Memories of large and small injustices and the first warnings of the conflict now written down, now recorded for all posterity. Swarms of officers to harass our people and eat out their substance. Quartering large bodies of armed crooks among us depriving us of the benefits of trial by jury. Armies to complete the works of death and tyranny. You're listening to young Tom Jefferson starring Tyrone Power on the Cavalcade of America. As our play continues, a young couple is playing a duet in the spacious living room of a plantation home. The boy is Tom Jefferson. Seated at the harpsichord is the daughter of the house, Miss Martha Wales. That was nice, wasn't it? You played beautifully, Miss Martha. Do I? Why then I must say at least as much for you. But I really mean it. Oh, so did I, Miss Martha. Oh, sometimes I wish I were a man. Why so? Because the times are so exciting. And when women are so left out of it, what can a woman do but learn to dance and keep a household and play to spin it? And young men are in the thick of every battle fighting with all your strength for things that will that women sometimes scarcely understand or care about. Well, perhaps it's by women's inspiration that men do these things. Is it? Is it the inspiration of a woman that is giving you your reputation as a radical, Mr. Jefferson? A radical? Oh, I hear reports more frequently than you would think. And far from Goodwin's from some of our English friends, you'll put yourself in some danger, Mr. Jefferson. Does that trouble you? I am troubled for the safety of any of my friends. Oh, I would not trouble you for all the world, Miss Martha. But if I loved the woman and hoped to marry her, I would want to make a home for her and for our children in a free land. And if the land we lived in were not free, but overrun with tyranny, then for this woman whom I loved and for the country that I loved, I would have no other course but to pledge my life, my fortune, and my sacred honor in the cause of freedom. Yes. And if this woman whom I loved were you... For me? Yes, Martha. What would you say then? I would say yes. For this declaration he has written, we mutually pledge our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor. The man at the desk writes on into the night, Philadelphia's asleep, and except for the regular footsteps of the watch, there is no sound. But in the mind of Tom Jefferson, dark, sharp, and violent memories, memories of wrongs to be no longer tolerated. He is at this time transporting large armies of foreign mercenaries to complete the works of death, desolation, and tyranny. We tried to prevent it. We tried petitions. We advanced with more abuse, firing on the crowd in Boston, taxing without consent. It couldn't have been stopped. Inevitable. Inevitable. And they cried peace. There were those who thought they could have peace. The memories grow shorter now. Thoughts span only the weeks and months, the year at most. In his mind he moves back through time to March of the year before, to the Provincial Convention of Virginia to hold a new extraordinary session. He remembers talking with a tall, gaunt man whose gestures are explosive, whose eyes are quick and piercing. I tell you, Tom, I cannot for the life of me understand the metal of these delegates of ours. Half the country up in arms they prattle on like so many old women. If anyone can rouse them, you can. I'll rouse them. I'll rouse them if they're men and can be roused. Order! Order, please. When will you speak? Now. Provincial Convention is now in place, Mr. President. The chair recognizes the gentleman. Mr. President, gentlemen, this is no time for ceremony. The question before the House is one of often moment to this country. For my own part I consider it it's nothing less than a question of freedom or slavery. Young Tom Jefferson leans forward in his seat, his eyes fixed on the speaker. The House sits spellbound. They've heard this man many times before, but never have they heard it as he is today. Are they those who sense the historic import of this hour? Perhaps. But not only young Tom Jefferson, but men long generations after will remember what has spoken years ago. The next scale that keeps from the north will bring to our ears the clash of resounding arms. Our brethren are already in the field. Why stand we here idle? What is it the gentleman wish? What would you have? Is life so dear or peace so sweet as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? For did it all mighty God. I know not what course others may take, but as for me, give me liberty or give me death. Memories of but a few short months ago the eloquence of Patrick Henry and perhaps the words of a dying boy. There have been battles now. Lexington and Concord, Ticonderoga, Bunker Hill. Men have been wounded. Men have been killed. All these in a single battle? Ambers by Indians. These are only the men from Philadelphia. Mr. Jefferson, you must lie quietly, my boy. But there's something I want to say to Mr. Jefferson. Is there something you want me to do? About your family? Not exactly, but we haven't done too well so far, have we? You've done all that mortal men could do. Maybe, but when we're out there in the woods, some of the men got talking.  They don't mean half of it. I know. It isn't that they have any doubts. They know that when it's over, we're going to be free. Yes, we shall. I knew that. That's what I told them. It seems nobody's ever come right out and said so, the leaders I mean. Is that what the soldiers want? A proclamation telling what we're fighting for? Yes, sir. When you rejoin your company, you tell the men there will be such a proclamation very soon. I'll tell them. But you're sure? Very sure. And you won't forget? No. I won't forget. Of course, of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth a separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and of nature's God entitle them a decent respect to the opinions of mankind. The work is done. The day has come. Young Thomas Jefferson has spoken for the ages. We hold these truths to be self-evident that all men are created equal. That they are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights. That among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just power from the consent of the government. That whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it and to institute new government, laying its foundation on the government. Whence came these words out of the eloquence of statesmen and the plain words of simple men? Words to remember now. Words to rededicate the hopes and aspirations of all men to the sure and certain victory of universal liberty and freedom. And for the support of this declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine providence, we mutually pledge to each other our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor.

Hello friends and welcome back to another Pokemon how-to guide here on the channel My name is Lee also known as Osiris and in this episode We are going to be continuing on our crown to under content and going after those Galarian birds There is glaring Moltres glaring Zapdos and Galarian Articuno So we're going to be covering those in this guide right now So to start us off we are going to take a look at our legendary clues So we're on legendary clue number three The legendary birds the bird of Pokemon of legend when the sun reaches its zenith It shines directly down upon a great tree with leaves that seem to burn It is there that the legendary wings come to roost Okay, so I'm guessing Pretty cryptic pretty vague, but there is a picture of a tree So I'm gonna guess that that's where we are heading so we'll head straight out of Johnny's hut will just turn a swift Left if you're facing out of peonies hurt and we'll make our way into the Giants Giants bed there we go. That's the one. I was like is it Giants bed in my head? It sounds weird. We're getting in bed with the Giants here. We go and but it is it is the Giants bed This is where they sleep, but we're going for that big tree in the distance So you can see where it is So you've got quite a clean marker here and so we want to just be heading Down this direction towards a tree just keeping right as well because there will be a turnoff at some point where we can make our way Towards the tree line Now we need to dodge the Pokemon in the previous guides that we've had up for the Regis and the calyrex I have been noting that we have I I feel like the the red like the Pokemon spawns in the crown tundra are Way way more than we've seen in any of the other previous games. So we come to this river here We need to make sure that we are crossing. So I think there will be an exit route further upstream So we're kind of doubling back on ourselves almost Obviously trying to dodge these Pokemon don't know which way this Gyarados is going, but we don't want to bump into it and Then we want to come out on to the Balama Lake So here we are on a nice COVID night there for us. So see where the route is guys This is the first time I'm actually Visiting this tree. So we're doing this together. This is fresh and hopefully It will be useful for you guys to help you out and figure out a Shortcut once you've watched this and to how to do this yourself Okay, well, we've finally made it round. We probably went the long way But we are finally here at the tree and we're gonna trigger a cut scene right now So we'll be able to have a look what is going on here in the game So there is the big famous tree of the crown tundra. What are those big fruits on it? I wonder if they have some meaning or some sort of relation to Dynamics and there it is. There is Maltres and it's eating the fruits. Wow. Okay. They must be Dynamics fruit Okay, Maltres looks angry. Okay. It's coming after us It's coming for us and Zaptos. Okay. Okay. This is cool. This is very cool. Okay. This cut scene is amazing I'm probably spoiling it for you guys, but I mean I'm so hype about this This is like a scene from like the anime movie like a movie or something like that. It's very cool They've done it very well already and there's Articuno coming in cool Okay, so the birds actually Appeared to be kind of guarding this tree, which is interesting and I wrote some decks going crazy So let's see what Rotem says about these birds. Are they gonna stick around or just fly off? I'm guessing I've heard that they're roaming at least that's what I've heard. They roam around the area I don't know which areas they roam in but they're kind of heading in different areas right now Like Articuno heading for the the crown shrine as Zaptos heading for the Giants bed and Maltres I don't know where you're heading to so we'll just have to have a hunt around and see where they are But this is what this guide is for it's helping you guys determine where these birds are get them It's easy as possible and as quick as possible on the day of release Which this is there is pointy feathered one in the wild area plus a fury looking one Out on the Isle of Armour Wow and this Fancy graceful one apparently flying about the current underer Okay, wouldn't it be something if they turned out to be the bird Pokemon I wrote that clue about Hmm if that were the case, I think I'd call this expedition something like here we go Here we go. Wait for it the legendary tree of legendary three Peony Killing it killing it mate. And now I've gone and ultra mega completely forgot What I called you for in the first place. Well, life's too short and sweet. No, the small stuff Subtar chief. Okay. Well, I mean he called us just to give us that title alone His titles are great on there jot down three. So The bird of orange dashed off to the wild area. So that's gonna be in Galar region even though we're kind of technically are in the Galar region still The bird of black flu off to the Isle of Armour and the bird of purple set off across the count crown tundra Okay, so the first Galar bird we are gonna go after is Zapdos and that is advised to be in the wild area So what we're gonna do is fly up to the wild area. We're gonna be going to the meet-up spot I think if my testing is correct every time you fly to the meet-up spot And you haven't caught this Pokemon yet. It will spawn in Front of the meet-up spot so you can easily locate it and then you can try and hunt it and catch it pretty quickly So my theory is quickly broken now here as we come out of the meet-up spot and Zapdos is not here So what we're gonna do is just prove this theory and just okay We can't see it when we get here Just gonna fly to the meet-up spot again and see if it does appear now Okay, so we just need to wait before the sandstorm appears and just take a quick look around and there it is Okay, we can see it just down in the corner over there So that's where we need to be heading and we need to chase after very quickly because it will run away But you can't catch it. You just need to keep up with it on your bike You need to make sure that you've got all the upgrades on your bike as well So make sure you do pay for those it is well worth it Otherwise it's gonna make getting the Zapdos in this situation very difficult So it means you recharge is a little bit quicker Which means you can kind of mix up some ground on it You've just got to keep on top of it and what the key to this is is Try and just be aware of Pokemon spawning as well and try and make some ground up on it in Certain places like it will keep the same route when it's running around this area so there is areas where you can kind of Make ground up on it like here And yeah, you see this is a good place to do it and if we can just get one more boost we can get it We're gonna get it. Come on. Come on. Come on. Oh, we missed it. There we go Okay, we get it So it's not too difficult to get like I say if you can't see it first when you you fly into the meter point in the Wild area just spawn back there like fly back there and then try again like walk into the while there I have a scout around if it's not there fly back in and then try and catch it Try and see if you can spot it and then go for it. You're gonna have to chase it. You can't creep up on it It's not gonna work. You've got to use just speed to get it. Um, okay, so we're gonna tackle the Zapdos now. I am gonna try and catch it and we will be right back as soon as it is in the poker ball and We've caught it We've got it in only a few tries with a dive ball obviously if you guys know me out there I like to catch all of my Pokemon in my favorite poker ball the dive ball and we've actually just managed to do with the Zapdos so I'm extremely happy with that. It hasn't taken too long. We got pretty lucky with it Obviously different balls are gonna have a better chance Zapdos data added to the polka decks here We go when its feathers rub together they produce a cracking sound like the zapping of electricity That's why this Pokemon is called Zapdos. Okay, so there we go And it's a fighting a flying type Pokemon, which is yeah, that's its new typing We want to add it to a party for sure and we'll make way of Tarantula Tarantula Tarantula would be very good for us against something like Maltres and the Articuno really but We'll throw Zapdos in just because it's brand new and we like to see it So now before we move on to going after Maltres What I will just say is that remember what I've told you like my tips my theory and my testings worked out to catch This quite easily is fly to the the meter point and Have a scout around the wild area there if you can see it great Go after it and chase it down with your bike Make sure you've got all the three upgrades to your bike Because it will make this so much easier and then just chase it down and be aware of the spawning Pokemon That are gonna try and jump out and get in your way and slow everything down You'll be able to catch that does no problem if there's up does isn't there when you first fly in you Can't spot or just walk out into the the wild area then fly back to the meetup Point and then Recycle until the Zapdos does appear it's gonna be in this top area of the wild area and it's gonna be doing that sort of Lap so it's gonna be somewhere around this area. It's not gonna be in the other areas of the wild air as far as I know okay We've got the Zapdos. We've just had the phone call from peony and now what we need to do is make a way to the Isle of armor now again like we've done with the first kind of wild area The station the first main station that we go to the meetup spot In the Galar region We're gonna go to the the station in the fields of honor in the Isle of armor now This should work in the same kind of manner where when we land we are able to spot of Maltres And there you go. You see it is in the distance So what we need to do is we just need to beat it up to the coast here and make sure that we cut it off When it flies inland and this is gonna be the quickest way for you guys to get Maltres Okay, this is gonna be the fastest way it is gonna come inland. It is gonna be flying over here You would think it is yeah, it is making its way inland. So there we go and it's gonna fly over and all we need to do is get above it and Then we should be able to battle it. I think it's a little bit awkward. So we might need to go There we go. Okay a little bit awkward there with the ridge But this is foolproof you fly to the station in the Isle of armor The first one that you enter when you first come to the Isle of armor and then from there you cut it off You head towards the dojo as quick as you can once you spot the Maltres It's always gonna spawn in the same spot Head to the dojo and cut it off before it flies over land because then you're gonna be chasing it around forever And it's gonna take literally forever to do anything. I'm gonna curse up first As a nasty plots great Okay, well, we're gonna be back as soon as I've caught the Maltres And then we'll move on to the final one of this trio And we finally got the Maltres So we finally got it in the dive ball as well, which is amazing. So I'm super happy about that So the key to this is obviously flying to the station in the Isle of armor You will see it spawn out to sea and you know its path It is gonna be coming over towards the dojo you need to cut it off So you need to get there super fast on your bike again. You need to have the upgrades It's gonna make it a lot easier cut it off there And if you miss it or if you knock it out just fly back to that station It will respawn in the same spot and take the same route and cut it off before it goes over the mainland and then round the island again, so It is a dog flying type. We know this this Pokemon sinister flame like aura will consume the spirit of any creatures It hits a victim has become burnt out shadows of themselves. So there we go and we will add it to A party I guess yeah So what you want to do to get out of Kuna is fly to this spot on the map the snow slide slope And this is where it will spawn now you want to just follow it up the mountain here You don't want to try and cut it off like you have done with the the Maltres It's a little tricky doing this But as I say this is a very a very popular spawn spot for it There is another one that it will spawn at but you want to just keep your distance Make your way up the mountain because this is the best way to get Articuno right now that I know of that I've been testing and this has worked pretty much every time I've done it now I've knocked Articuno out twice already, which is really frustrating and by accident and We're just lucky that there's no hail at the minute in this area if there's hail in this area change the date Because it makes it very difficult to catch these birds with the residual chip damage now It's gonna just hover here what you want to do is just stand still It's gonna pretend like it's gonna spin, but it will just fly into you and attack you there you go You see every time it will do that So there's no worries about having to guess about it splitting into three if you go for it I'll split into three or spin round you got a guess one and it'll disappear if you just stand still it will disappear And then it'll attack you so this is the best way to approach this So we're gonna battle this now and we will be right back as soon as it hopefully is in the poker ball and We finally caught Articuno. Wow. That's probably the hardest one out of all of them for me to actually capture but we finally done it we've got all three of the Glaring Birds, which is amazing and Very happy about that and that is all of the the roaming and legendaries that we've actually been able to get now So hopefully the guide has helped you when the the methods that we've been using in the guide have helped you Actually obtain these Pokemon. That's the main reason behind these. So we've got Articuno. It is a psychic flying type It's feathers like blades are composed of psychic energy and can shear through a thick iron sheets as if they were paper Wow, very strong bird. We'll add it to the party and then we've got all three of the legendary Glaring Birds in our party and just make sure you come back pick up your rewards for completing the the challenges and then that is That so I hope you found this guide useful Hope you found all the guides so far useful and don't worry. We have got plenty more content coming in the crown tundra So and do you stick around for that? We've obviously got the ultra beasts and things like that to do So we've got a bunch of Pokemon to look at and lots of different facilities still to cover So there will be more content to come I hope you've enjoyed the early parts of it today though If you have please make sure you drop a like on the video if you do enjoy this sort of content And I would like to see more of it. Do you think about subscribing to the channel as well and definitely leave a comment down below Let me know what your favorite part of the crown tundra has been already and we'll leave it there So thank you so much for tuning in friends. Have a good one and I will see you all for another video very soon So until then take care and bye bye


So among the list that I saw, I believe that the Swiggy guys deserve a mention, a special mention for actually being brave for making a business out of one of those thankless categories called fulfillment or delivery and creating a brand out of it. So I think they have done a fine job. There are some very big names out there but I think it takes a lot of guts and a lot of vision and a lot of doggedness to be there. So for just staying alive in the business, they deserve to get the impact person out.


So one thing that we can also do inside of Microsoft Excel is we can use sort of its templates just like we saw in Microsoft Word. If I come over here to the File tab and I go over to New, you're going to see that we have a few that are generated up just like we saw. One of the big ones that I recommend that you guys play around with, you know, okay, some of these, not so great, that one looks pretty cool though, is I actually recommend you do something like this. Pick out a budget. Make sure you guys all have budgets because as you can see, you know, this is going to tell you a great amount about pretty much your entire life. It's already done. So say for example, let's see, my rent, I wish it was $315. It's about $600. I can change that and I can see sort of all of this stuff. I can flesh it out. I can start to play and I don't have to worry about the formatting. It's already built in there for me.
