Hey everybody, welcome back to the channel today I'm going to be showing you how to install arch Linux the easy way now This is not the easiest way if you want to go the easiest way you choose something like Endeavor OS or Menjaro or my personal favorite Arco Linux and then install it with a graphical installer All those I believe use the Calomari's installer and they're very easy to take 10 15 minutes But you're always left with something that's a derivative of arch if you do a neo fetch I'm menjaro. It's gonna say you're running menjaro linux. You same thing with Arco or Endeavor with the way I'm showing you today You're actually installing arch Linux and if you do a neo fetch in this you'll get it will actually say arch Linux So you can say I use arch Linux by the way so The is one caveat that I will say right up front if you're installing this on a laptop that does not have an ethernet jack I Can't help you with it. I have no clue how to get connected to the internet on arch Linux With what with Wi-Fi? I just don't know how to do it. I've never been successful the one place to arch wiki completely falls down in my opinion is Network connectivity is just I mean a convoluted mess and you can you can Google You know tutorials on how to do it and I still have never been able to figure it out. So if You're gonna do this make sure you're hooked up to a computer with wife or with an ethernet port. That's just the way Or be smarter than I am which is probably not that hard and You know be able to connect via Wi-Fi So I'm going to actually be doing this in a virtual machine Today and it should be fairly easy. It's just gonna use it be using a script. So let's go ahead and jump over to Virtual box here and we'll hit start And we'll see if we can make this full screen Okay Let's see if this actually is gonna work. I will put a link to what I'm going to be doing in the Video description so that you can follow along and copy and paste things as you need to And I'm also gonna try to make this text bigger And I was at least a little successful on that So if you need to make your font bigger to actually be able to see it you can run this command here set font ISO 0 1-12x 22.psfu.gz I Just googled that and it was in reddit somewhere. So I'm assuming that it's perfectly fine to run it when it worked So now the next thing what we want to do here is We need to set our Key our keyboard. So we want to do load key Okay, and then US okay now if that's if you're using the US if you're using like the You want to use the like a Spanish one you do? Yes, if you want to use UK, I believe you just use UK I'm gonna use the US one Yeah, it should be load keys. I'm sorry load keys not load key Okay, and that's gonna have no output at all unless you've made a mistake like I did Just make sure you actually type things correctly. Like I said the instructions for all this stuff will be in the video description It'll be very easy. There's also Instructions there on how to connect via Wi-Fi. I'm still not sure how to do it It doesn't make any sense to me. So what we're going to do next is We need to download the script. We're going to be using so we're gonna be typing curl dash s Small s capital L and then HTTPS colon batch just black back. I can't say backslash back sat Backslash backslash, there we go That's lost it and then bit.ly bit.ly.ly. There is a longer URL that you could type in if you wanted to It's the exact same thing. This is just easier and what do slash to F3 Actually, make sure I type this right to F3 C a t P and then pipe bash And that will download something here for just a second. This is the script that we're going to be using So the next thing we're gonna want to do is them into Al is that co nf. Okay, so this is the arch Linux installer configuration file and It's going to have a ton of stuff that you're going to have to change so Down here where it says keys. We want to want to change this to us Change word us. Okay. We can leave log as false Okay, and then we'll just scroll down here Now here's where this is gonna be a little bit different. So the next thing you want to do is tell arch Linux Where you want it to be installed? I'm not actually sure What the partition is or the drive name is on? Virtual box, so I'm gonna have to go to a different Mmm I'm actually have to quit out of this and do this real quick. I have to go back and find out So I'm just gonna quit out of this and do LS BLK and We need to make sure that we're on the right one and it's SR zero is What we're looking at? Actually, it's SDA SDA is the right one. Okay So we'll just go back up to the one we were just in And we need to go up here make sure we change this back because we didn't save change word us Get back out of insert mode. So you don't make any mistakes And then a lot of these ones here you're going to have multiple options the explanation X Exclamation point. I'm having the hardest time with words and punctuation. I don't know what's going on You can either just leave these or you can delete them. I'm going to go ahead and delete them and then I Deleted the wrong one Okay, and then you let us this stuff here is basically you just leave it the same you want You can choose the file system type I'm going to go ahead and leave it as EXT for because it works best in virtual box On my system, I chose butter FS when I tried this out and it worked just fine Same thing with the next thing you want to do is choose your swap size You can leave this all you can leave this exact Just the way it is and you won't end up having a swap at all I'm going to go ahead and use the 2048. So just delete the exclamation point and then delete the rest Okay, prediction size you want to leave this as auto I'm just going to go ahead and delete these other ones. You don't have to delete these They should it should work if you don't delete them. I'm just doing it because You know a little bit you know retentive about stuff The rest of the stuff here we can just leave the way it is Okay, we can scroll down now This network install thing here is if you had had Wi-Fi again, I Don't know how that works. So if you have Wi-Fi, you're just gonna have to read the directions here and hope hope for the best We're gonna scroll down here we want to We want to change this reflector hit thing part here to true oops and basically what this is going to do is Use the reflector software to choose the best mirrors for you. Okay? And then you can just change this one here to your country United States okay, and Next one you want to change here is choose the kernel that you want to use so I'm going to use the LTS kernel So we'll delete this part and we'll delete the headers Okay, and the next thing here. This is going to be one that you want to change. I believe and I want I've always been changing it to this G zip here and then Deleting the rest of these because I know G zip works Now Arch Linux just did change to something else by default. I'm pretty sure they changed to Z G zip by default, but I might be misremembering that so the next thing we want to want to do is choose the driver that we want to install for our graphics and this one here is Interesting because I'm not actually sure Which one to choose for virtual box Obviously, we don't need Nvidia and I believe what we wanted to do is just do all this a blank because I think it'll be perfectly fine for Virtual box it for you depending on what graphics card you have in your computer You'll either want the Intel one the AMD GPU or that one of the Nvidia ones Again, that's going to be something that's gonna depend on what card you have in your computer rest of this stuff here I believe we leave exactly the same which we do Okay, keep keep scrolling now. Here's where some of the this is where you're gonna be changing your languages So and you're setting your time zone. So I know I'm I'm gonna change this word here to America and Change this word here to Detroit Okay, and then I'm going to delete This first one here in locales because I don't need this I don't I don't need Spanish and I just need us dash utf-8 Okay, and then the same thing here. I'm gonna delete the languages of Spanish and just use The English one, okay, and same thing with a key map. We need to change this to us Okay, and the key Mac layout to Us Okay, and then you change the name of your computer by this host name here And I'm just gonna leave it as arcs Linux, but you can change it to whatever you want and then you can put your Password here now if you leave it asked, I believe it will ask you to set it up once you've you know rebooted but I'm just gonna type in the password and TLC Phil, you know, just this is not the password and it would normally use obviously But it works. Okay. Now you want to create a user. So I'm going to Create my user doctor mdub oops and TLC All right, and you can actually create other users by doing, you know Following these directions here. Okay, and then this part here stays all the same Scrolling down this part here stays the same unless you there's something you know for sure you need to change All right, and here's the here's an important part the bootloader you want to change this to grub because by default they have it as system D I Tried that because it's you know what they have it as default, but it did not work So you need to uncomment grub and Delete the other ones Okay, and then here you can choose your your default Shell so I'm just gonna leave that as bash and here's where you're gonna want to choose the Desktop environment you have that you you'll have upon reboot Now you can leave these all commented and that means you could go through and install your own afterwards You'd be prevented presented with the TTY after reboot. I'm just gonna go ahead and uncomment XFCE Okay, that way I should have an XFCE desktop on reboot This package is to install leave that blank and install your packages afterwards I don't know if I'm actually gonna need that vagrant part. I'm not actually sure and we're gonna see if this works and We want reboot just to be set to true. Okay, so that's it Now what we do and need to do is colon right quit colon wq and The next thing we're going to want to do is actually run that so do dot slash AI AL IS dot SH And we'll see if this works you just gonna ask you if you want sure you want to partition your drives. Yes We'll see if this works it's going to go through Again, you're not if you weren't successful in connecting to the internet So if you're not connected via Ethernet cable This would not work because this isn't a net installer, which means you have to be connected internet. It's downloading stuff Like I said, I'm not I've never been once been successful and getting connected to the Wi-Fi with arch Linux That's a me problem For sure.  I've just not been interested in doing it And I will cut away after this is done and come back that we don't see here through this whole process Okay, once you get to this point here, it's gonna try to reboot. It may or may not be successful We'll see if it is it did not abort it did not reboot on its own It just you know Sometimes it fails and I'm actually okay with that because I actually would like to do a shutdown So I can remove because you don't want to make sure you remove the installation media And I'm gonna have to do that in virtual box. So I'm just gonna pseudo shut down now Okay, and then I will go through and remove the installation media Now I'm going to just restart up and We should be loading into arch Linux here if everything went right And it did look at this TLC All right, and we should be able to going into and we are not good arch Linux. So if we open up a terminal here and Zoom in pseudo pac-man dash capital S neo fetch yes clear neofetch Arch Linux Bada BAM Bada Boom. Do these people still say that Bada BAM, but I Don't think they still say that and what's out of the 90s. What do you can you say? Anyways? That's how you install arch Linux the easy way it was really simple you just go through that configuration file Fill out some things make sure you change that last one from system B to grub and you won't have any problems Now if you're on certain systems This uses light DM as a login manager I Had problems with light DM and had to switch to SDDM And that's not a problem with this script specifically. It's a problem with arch Linux and SN light DM It's really weird because it happens on across distributions because it happened in Arco. It also happened in Jarrow so if You end up rebooting and going to like a black screen Change to SDDM. You'll be happier and it will work. So that's arch Linux I mean literally it was that simple now. Like I said, I apologize for the lack of Wi-Fi information Maybe someday I'll get that figured out and make a video about it. I Just can't get my can't wrap my head around it. There's Terminology there that I don't understand just can't get through my little mind anyways Let's jump into social shall we make sure you follow us on Twitter at Twitter comm slash Linux cast Facebook comm slash Linux cast You can also support us on patreon at patreon.com slash Linux cast starting in mid-March everyone Who is a tier 2 or tier 3 patron will get early access to all of our videos?

So ninth we have a pretty cool one. They're called skin stealers These are big humanoids who have pale yellow gray skin with deep set wide eyes and they wear the skin of their victims as a disguise they eat human flesh but only when they're hungry and they wear the skin of Their victims by attaching the skin to these bumps on themselves that are like those octopus suckers And that will pull the skin tightly to them to make it look like they're actually humans when they're not doing that They just wander around aimlessly it said that they can mimic human voices But they can't understand languages so it's not perfect and they just repeat phrases that they've heard before

St. Lucia Distillers displays confidence in St. Lucia's economy with a $30 million expansion of its facilities in the Rosso Valley. The premier rum producer in the eastern Caribbean over the past 18 months has built three new sellers with a capacity of storing 12,000 oak barrels. We get details in this report. Prime Minister Hon. Alan Chastney headed the list of dignitaries which included Bernard Hyatt, the president of Group Bernard Hyatt GBH, the parent company of St. Lucia Distillers. The occasion was the official opening of three new sellers built over the past two years with a strict adherence to COVID-19 protocols. Prime Minister Chastney noted the commitment of GBH in spite of the global pandemic. And I want to thank you personally that despite what was going on with COVID, I am one person who does not take your commitment and your continuation for granted. I want to thank you very, very much. Bernard Hyatt, the president of GBH, was present for the official commissioning of the new sellers, but it was his son, Rudolph, who provided the details of the project. Each of the sellers will contain nearly 3,700 oak barrels. They will bring the total capacity of St. Lucia Distillers to more than 12,000 barrels. The construction of the new sellers is one of three projects airmarked by GBH since it acquired the distillery in 2016. The first ensured that award-winning rums produced by St. Lucia Distillers got profiled and marketed globally. Another project is the development of a rum and heritage attraction in the Roso Valley. This was welcomed by a member of Parliament for the area Honourable Dominic Fede, who is also the Minister for Tourism. While we can boast of some of the finest beaches in the world, I think what makes us really sexy is to say to the world that we also have some of the finest blends and that in itself is a big draw and makes us extremely attractive. And so congratulations to you and the entire rum industry for your continued evolution over the years. The Prime Minister also applauded the employer-employee relationship noting the role of the National Workers' Union. I'm very happy to see the relationship that you've developed with the workers. This is a very important aspect to what we do in our country. It cannot be that we believe that we can succeed without bringing along the workers of this country. And so one, the investment you're making, the training you're making and certainly the upgrading of the equipment, I know will augur very well for the persons who work here. The next major development at St. Lucia Distillers will be the Rum and Heritage Tour, which will be situated on a 25-acre site. It will incorporate the distillery and the sugar plantation. For the Government Information Service, I am Jesse-Léonce reporting.


سورة scratches I about the Quran you and I know that in Islam , we cannot just do what we want in terms of dress we have to dress in a specific way we have to follow rules and regulations we have a uniform although that uniform is very broad and although the rules and regulations governing the dress they are actually quite broad and they are quite easy to fulfill but there are rules نحن لا نحاول أن نفعل ذلك كما نريد. لأننا نتكلمنا مسلمين. وإذا نفعل ذلك كما نريد then الله سبحانه وتعالى يخبرنا أنك يجب أن تقوم with the choice you've made. يجب أن يقولون today, I'm free to do whatever I want to do. بل تقوم بإمكانك أنك مستخدم. أنك مستخدم. لكن المستخدم أن تقوم with a price. تذكرون أنك يجب أن تقوم with it in the world or the hereafter or both. لذلك عندما تقوم with a decision you might be free to make that decision as a human being. أنت تقوم with how you want to dress, how you want to talk, what you want to do, what you want to eat, you chose what you want to engage in, you chose the prohibitions you want to do, and the obligations you want to stay away from. فعلاً يجب أن تقوم with the choice it was yours but you are answerable, you are responsible, you will pay for how you have chosen. لذلك يجب أن تقوم with the choice it was yours. لذا one of the issues made mention of in this beautiful surah is a piece of advice that Allah سبحانه وتعالى tells محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم to issue to his family members, to the women, to his wives, his daughters, and the believing females. لذا it is not just a piece of advice but in fact an instruction. So Allah says يا أيها النبي or messenger. صلى الله عليه وسلم قل, say, say to whom لأزواجك وبناتك ونساء المؤمنين say to your wives, to your daughters and to the believing women يدنين عليهم من جلابي به أن يجب أن يقوم with an outer garment يجب أن يقوم with an outer garment هذا يجب أن تقوم with when you are emerging from the home أن تقوم with yourself an outer garment it's an instruction verse number 59 of Surah 33 where Allah is saying to محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم tell your wives, tell your daughters and tell the believing women that they have to throw on themselves this outer جلب. meaning you have your dress you are wearing your clothing as you emerge from the home or you are in the presence of those who are strange you throw over a cloak or you throw over an outer garment in order to conceal your beauty now this is the rule of Islam سبحان الله so Allah سبحانه وتعالى says ذلك أدناء the reason behind this is so that you can save yourselves from harm so that you can be recognized as Muslim women as chased women as women who are not out there free for all so to speak and women who are serious about their modesty and chastity now this is an Islamic ruling like I said before we are governed by Islam there may be people around us who are not governed by the same rules and regulations let them do as they wish but we do as we are taught like I said before may Allah سبحانه وتعالى strengthen us it's not so easy it's not so easy at a time when Islamophobia is across the globe at a time when people are looking at Muslims with the eye of suspicion it's not so easy to dress as a Muslim woman but for those who do remember they will save themselves from calamity, disaster in this world and the next it might seem like it's tough and difficult but wallahi the more we are in number the better the message we deliver to say we are peace loving we are beautiful people we will reach out we will help we will assist we have good character we have conduct we are a nation that is filled with goodness and morality and conduct we are not bad or evil but when we hide our identity who would then know that we are Muslim when we do a good deed may Allah سبحانه وتعالى grant us acceptance so this is called the verse of Hijab and it is reported that the women from amongst the Ansar سبحان الله when this verse came out they used to cover themselves with a cloak or with an outer garment that would actually be non attractive in its color in order for them to fulfill this particular verse now one might say what exactly is the ruling the ruling is quite broad to be honest with you it's quite broad there is no specific color there is no specific material but it is something that would cover you it is something that would ensure that you have come across but, seriously, etc. may Allah سبحانه وتعالى grant our women and men the ability to cover themselves in a respectable way that would be, insha'Allah pleasing to our own maker سبحانه وتعالى السلام عليكم first I want to tell you that I'm a muslim I believe in everything written in the book of Allah and in everything he said but unfortunately لقد أجدت أساعدة لتكون أساعدة مع فريدة أفكارة هل لديك أي أساعدة عن هذا؟


Hi, my name is Yovisha Sike. I have secured all India 14th rank in AFS examination this year, 2019. I convey my thanks to God, my parents, and my religious, and this is my fourth attempt in civil services, and second attempt in foreign services. I secured the 14th rank. Regarding Shinkara AS, I am grateful to the institute, and it has guided me throughout my preparation, both in civil services as well as for its examination, in all the stages. It remains an interview stage. This conclusion in my success is very large. With this, I conclude my thankful not-to-be-incident.


So, bonus return is a project funded by, bonus, partly funded by, and the project is aimed at taking what's normally considered to be a problem, nutrients, and finding ways to recycle, reuse those in a way that actually makes them beneficial. But at the same time to remove a problem from the Baltic Sea, something that causes pollution, causes eutrophication in some places, causes these algae blooms, a whole range of difficulties that we would like to. What's especially interesting about the project is that we have a team of people with quite diverse kinds of expertise that mesh together. But even to define the details of the project requires this team to come together and pool its knowledge in order to define what specific activities we work on. And what that allows us to do is actually identify areas that have real potential for making breakthroughs, even if it's very difficult to define those in advance of these kinds of discussions. So we'll be looking to identify those opportunities and ways of pursuing those opportunities systematically with people and groups of people who have a stake in the whole process to engage with them and take the whole process forward in addressing some of these pollution and environmental problems.


So let's first read this passage together. Genesis chapter 3, Bereshi chapter 3. This is after the entire incident where God told Adam and Eve not to eat from the tree of knowledge of good and evil. We know that the serpent managed to trick Eve into eating from that tree and then she offered some of the fruit to her husband. And so here in verse 14, God now addresses the serpent. God speaks to the serpent and says, because you did this, cursed are you more than all of the livestock and all of the wild beasts.  I will plant hatred between you and the woman and between your offspring and her offspring.  Now it seems like a fairly innocuous passage at first blush, but what gets many Christians very excited is that the Hebrew here, I don't have it in front of you, but the Hebrew here speaks of the Zera, the seed of the woman. And it's translated in this verse 15 here as her offspring. It refers to Eve's descendants as her offspring, but again the Hebrew is her Zera, her seed. And so this English translation prefers to render the word her seed as her descendants, which actually is the real meaning of the word. In the Christian Bible in the book of Galatians they make the strange assertion that the word seed, S-E-E-D, really refers to only one human being. Somehow whenever the Bible uses the word Zera seed, it makes the strange assertion that it refers to one person. Now the problem with that is quite serious for anyone that knows any Hebrew because in Hebrew the word Zera seed always means descendants in the plural. God promises Abraham, if you just look up for example in the 17th chapter of Genesis, so God is always promising to Abraham, he will have many descendants and it says that it refers to them as his seed. So even though the word an English seed is in the singular and Zera also, Zera seed in Hebrew is in the singular, but in context it always refers to a person's progeny, their descendants in the plural. For some reason the writers of the Christian scriptures want to insist that it really refers to not a group of people, not progeny, descendants, but one. And so what happens is in general Christian apologists will claim that in the Hebrew Bible, we call it the Tanakh, Christians insist that in the Tanakh in the Hebrew scriptures, they insist that there are actually hundreds of prophecies that prove Jesus was the Messiah. This is an assertion that Christians make. They assert that the Jewish Bible, the Tanakh contains, they say hundreds of prophecies proving that Jesus was the Messiah. And they refer to this passage in Genesis chapter 3 as the proto-Evangelium. It's a fancy big word. They refer to this as the proto-Evangelium. Don't try putting it on your bread. Which means that it's the first glimmer. It's the first glimmer of the Christian gospel found in the Hebrew scriptures. So they will say that this is the first place in the entire Jewish Bible where you have a glimmer of the Christian message, of the gospel message. And what is their claim here? Their claim based upon this passage is that the Messiah would be born through the seed of a woman. Because again, the Hebrew in this passage, God says to the snake in verse 15, I will plant hatred between you, Mr. Snake, and the woman, and between your offspring and her seed. And so the Christian assertion is that we see in this passage that the Messiah would be born through the seed of a woman without a human father. Now if this seems a little bit hard for you to digest, that's good because it is a very strange assertion. But that's their claim that they say you see from this passage that the Messiah would be born through the seed of a woman without the agency, the participation of a human father. And this of course is the alleged miraculous virgin birth of Jesus that is written about in the Gospels of Matthew and Luke. In addition, Christian apologists will use this passage to establish again their claim that as the Messiah, Jesus came to crush the head of the snake who is seen as Satan. We'll get back to that second claim in a little while. Now the first thing that I will say about these assertions by both the New Testament and Christian apologists is that if you just read this passage and we just read it, there is absolutely nothing here, nothing, not one word that says anything about a Messiah. This is again something that they are asserting, they're claiming, but there's nothing in the text itself to substantiate such an assertion. It's just a claim that they make. And that the plain sense of this passage, the plain sense is very simple. It's speaking about the ongoing hostility between humanity and that's what the snake is being told here. The snake is being told that God is telling the snake it's going to be an ongoing hostility between you and your descendants, Mr. Snake and Eve and her descendants. And we all know that all over the world, no matter where you go throughout history, human beings have had not the best of relationships with snakes. People are afraid of snakes, people don't like snakes. We use the term snake as an insult for human beings. You're a snake in the grass, but we don't love, I mean some people they have pet snakes, but when they're out in the wild, snakes can be dangerous sometimes. And so generally speaking, we have this adversarial, hostile relationship between humans and snakes. And that's what God is telling the snake here. God in this passage is speaking to the snake and is saying to the snake, look, I'm going to put enmity, hostility between you and your descendants and the woman and her descendants.  Because again, snakes are crawling on the ground and a human being that wants to hurt the snake, you're not normally going to step on its tail, you're going to go for the head. So the human being is able just to crush and smash the head of the snake, but you will strike the human being in the heel, meaning you can't bite the human being in its neck. The human being stands up high, you're crawling on the ground. So God is very simply here painting a picture of what is going to be the relationship between humanity in the future, who will be the descendants of Eve and the snakes that will come in the future. And this passage requires a tremendous leap to assume that it is a messianic prophecy. And it would only happen if you approach the Bible wearing Jesus' glasses. Meaning that if you have red glasses on, if you're wearing red glasses, everything looks red. So if you're wearing Jesus' glasses and you believe in Jesus and you believe that Jesus is the Messiah and you believe that Jesus came to destroy the works of the devil and to smash Satan and crush the snake, so you will see Jesus here. Like Mark Twain used to say, to the person with a hammer, everything looks like a nail. So to a Christian who is trying to find Jesus on every page of the Bible, they will see Jesus in this story, even though that's clearly not what it's talking about. Now when it says she will put enmity or hatred between you and her seed, so it is a strange expression. We don't normally speak about the seed of women. Usually the Bible, when it speaks about Zerah, it's speaking about the man's issue. But this reference here in chapter three of Genesis is not the only place in Scripture where this occurs. This is not the only place in the Bible that speaks about the seed of a woman. The passage here again is addressing the serpent in the presence of the woman. That's what's going on here. God is addressing the serpent in the presence of Eve. And so when God addresses the serpent in the presence of Eve, it refers to mankind who will come in the future as her seed, as her descendants. It would not have made any sense in this passage to say I will put enmity or hatred between you and the woman and between you and his seed, Adam's seed. Adam is not being addressed here. So because God is speaking to the serpent in the presence of Eve, he refers to humanity that will come as her seed. We see this same construction a few chapters later in Genesis chapter 16, verse 10. When God speaks to Hagar, Hagar is the handmaiden of Abraham. And God says to Hagar, I will greatly multiply your seed. So again, Genesis 3 is not the only place in the Bible that speaks about the seed of a woman. When God speaks to Hagar, he says, I will greatly multiply your seed, meaning her descendants. And God doesn't say to her that I'll greatly multiply his seed, meaning Abraham's seed. That would be ridiculous. He's speaking to Hagar. He's not going to refer to Abraham's seed. So we see that this construction of a woman's seed or issue is not that unusual. And the truth is, there are many, many places in the Bible where it speaks about a woman's seed. For example, in the 24th chapter of Genesis, of Braysheet, verse 60, when it speaks about LaVan and Bessuel, who are blessing Rebecca, their daughter and their sister respectively. So the verse says, a very famous verse, that they blessed Rebecca and they said to her, you become the mother of thousands and 10,000s and may your seed possess the gates of their foes. So again, God speaks here through LaVan and Bessuel to Rebecca who speaks about her progeny, her descendants as her seed. Now one more point about this passage in Genesis 3. The Christian assertion is that it's predicting that the seed of the woman is actually speaking about only one person, that's Jesus, and what will this descendant of the woman do? He will crush the head of the snake. And so the Christian interpretation is that Jesus would crush the head of the snake which refers to destroying the works of the devil. Now is that true? That Jesus destroy the works of the devil. We know that in Christian theology, Satan is the cause of all sin.  Has sin stopped in the world? Is Satan now powerless? Is Satan out of business now? Is the devil no longer running around and doing anything in this world? So everybody on the planet would agree that Satan, Satan is still alive and well, causing many people to sin, both non-Christians and Christians. And Paul himself refers to himself as one of the greatest sinners. So everybody sins, including Jews, including Muslims, including Buddhists and including Christians. And so there's no evidence whatsoever that Jesus through his death was able to destroy the works of the devil.


So value in inventory, you must value your inventory at the beginning and end of each tax year to determine your cost of goods sold schedule C line 42. So we're going to have to do that cost of sold goods sold calculation beginning inventory plus purchases mining minus ending inventory equals cost of goods sold in essence. Meaning that means that our beginning inventory should match what was the ending inventory in the prior tax return. If we had a prior tax return for the business, in other words, if it's not a new business and then we're going to have to have the purchases, which again might be the area that you kind of back into using algebra. Minus the ending inventory, which oftentimes you would determine making a physical count and just and and using your accounting records to determine what ending inventory is equals the cost of goods sold, which you might have in your accounting records. If you're using a perpetual inventory system, for example, already to calculate the cost of goods sold, which means you can possibly back into the purchases if you need to in that condition. So to determine the value of inventory, you need a method for identifying the items in your inventory and a method for valuing these items. So usually you've got the cost, but then obviously the cost of the inventory could have changed over time, usually going down over time. So if you're holding onto old inventory, it may not be worth what it was when you bought the inventory. You might have to use a flow assumption first in first out life of weighted average inventory valuation rules cannot be the same for all kinds of businesses. The method you use to value your inventory must conform to generally accepted accounting principles for small business and must clearly reflect income. So your inventory practices must be consistent from year to year. Obviously that consistency once again, something that we have to be consistent with otherwise there could be manipulation in. So if you changed from, for example, flow assumptions first in first out to last in first out to weighted average, you can severely change the value of your inventory. And that would be manipulative thing to do for most part. So more information for more information about inventory, you could see publication 538.


One of the most common recommendations I have for my clients for everything from peeing issues, behavioral problems, aggression problems, to emotional problems, neglect, are using Bach flower remedies or flower essences. Now, what flower essences are, they were created by a man, a doctor named Bach, and I personally like the Bach remedies rather than the other ones that I'll get into that. And basically, the basics of it are that everything in the universe has a vibration. And what he did was he took flowers, different types of flowers, and he would put them in a bowl and put them in the sun and let them sit in the sun until the water got the essence of the flower. Then he would take out the flower and was left with the essence of the flower. Well, that each flower has a specific vibrational energy. I don't know how they make them now, but that's the theory. That's how they first were created. The theory is through the law of attraction that if you introduce a particular vibrational energy to a different vibrational energy, those are going to want to meet at some point. So if you've got an animal who has a lot of anxiety, then if you introduce a calming remedy, then the theory is, over time, with consistency, that anxiety is going to want to match the energy of the energetic remedy that you are introducing. So now, Bach remedies are really easy to use. I've got a whole page on my website that tells you how to do it and explains it. And you can look at that down in the information here. But basically what it is is that you want to get a mixing bottle. And these are very inexpensive. I don't know, $2 or $3. I get them at someplace called Vitacos, which, again, is on my site. And to save money, even though the original outlay is going to be a little bit more expensive than I certainly like, again, I get them online. So I save a little bit of money that way. But what you do is you get this mixing bottle and then you take the remedies. Let's say you're using maybe five remedies, five to six remedies. So you can get those remedies and then you get the mixing bottle. And then you just take two drops of that remedy and put it in water in your mixing bottle so that you're not consistently using that from your original bottle. So you can have a bottle of remedies that even though it's the initial outlay for several bottles might be $50 or something if you got four or five bottles. Those will last you a really long time if you use this mixing method. Then some people will use put a little bit of brandy or something in there as a preservative. If you think that you're going to use it quickly, then you don't even have to do that. But the thing is you want to be consistent about it. They should, animals should have it four drops four times a day from that mixed bottle. Now, if you're using rescue remedy in there, you want to put four drops of the rescue remedy into your mixing bottle. If you're using a regular remedy like Star of Bethlehem or Walnut, which both of those I recommend so often, then you're using two drops. Again, this sounds a little bit confusing. It's all written out on my website.  Now, you certainly, with dogs, it's pretty easy. You can put it in their water. And dogs drink a lot of water. With cats, it's probably a little bit harder. But you can put it in their food, which will be twice a day.  And a lot of people are concerned because some of them, the remedies come with an alcohol as a preservative. But by the time you mix it into this mixing bottle with water, it's so diluted, it's not going to make a difference. There are remedies that you can buy that use glycerin instead, if you're really concerned. But I've knocked on wood. I've not had a problem. And I particularly like the Bach flower remedies. Now, there are other people that really, really like some of the other brands, or they like the premixed things. I am not a big fan of the premixed remedies. I've just not had good luck with them. And my clients, I've not heard good feedback. The best feedback I've heard is people who use the Bach remedies and mix them themselves. And the thing about Bach remedies or the thing about flower essences is that they're very, very subtle and they're very, very safe. Now, don't get these confused with herbs or oils. Not the same thing. I mean, what I like about flower essences is that you can put together things for yourself by yourself. And if you're using the wrong ones, it's not going to, it maybe won't help, but it's not going to hurt. If you use the wrong oil, if you use the wrong herbs and you don't know what you're doing, you can really, really do some damage to your pet. There are certain oils that are very, very toxic to cats and dogs, horses. There are certain herbs that are very, very toxic. And unless you really, really are working with someone who has had extensive experience and knows how to use these things for animals, not just for people, because one of the problems with the oils is that people will say, oh, well, I know how to use them for oils. And then they just say, oh, well, I'll give them to the animals too. It doesn't work that way. Their systems are different. So this is why I like these, even though they're very, very subtle. And the way that these work is that if you're consistent with them, you might not even notice a change right away. You will see something like, you know, maybe you'll go a few weeks and then you'll kind of go, huh, things seem better. I wonder why. And you don't even realize why. Oh yeah, it's the flower essences. Or you will go through an entire bottle and then things will get worse and then you won't do it again. You won't mix it up again. And then all of a sudden things get worse and you kind of go, oh wow, I didn't even know that they were, I didn't even realize that they had gotten so better until now I see this change again. That's how they work. They're very, very subtle. But it's one of those things that, you know what, what have you got to lose? Now, one of the books that I really like is this book, Bot Flower Remedies for Animals. I like this because it's got actual recipes in that. Many of the books that you get, they're just a list, you know, like a chapter per, you know, a couple of pages per remedy and then it tells you about the remedy. But what I like about this is it actually gives you specific issues, behavioral issues, specific, this one even has specific medical issues. Not that you shouldn't take your animal of the vet, you should always take your animal of the vet if you've got a medical issue. But it gives you the recipes. So you can, you know, the way that I do this personally is once I've, you know, a lot of times when I recommend these to people, I will have talked to the animal. So I've gotten a good idea of what types of things they need, you know?  Is it loneliness that they're feeling or whatever? So I might look at, look up the behavior and then, you know, I might make some changes based on having talked to the animal, but this gives you a really, really good start. Again, this is on my website. This is on my pause talk store, my Amazon pause talk store. And I'll link to this down here as well. So anyway, that's what flower essences are. Again, I think they're a great resource because they're safe and accessible and you can, you know, even though they're subtle, it's just, it's another feather you can add to your quiver.  You can be doing reiki, you can be doing allopathic means for your animals or whatever, but this is just something that you can add to it. And again, it's one of those things, what have you got to lose? And I had a lot of good feedback from my clients. So it's just another thing that you can add to your list of things that you might try for your pet. Okay, thanks a lot. We'll see you again. Bye-bye.


Thank you very much for the invitation to this colloquium. I tried very hard to be here, including climbing over a fence yesterday night in order to sneak into the guesthouse, which was kind of non-trivial. Yeah, so there was some trivial physical effort going on. Yeah, I shouldn't do this. That's wall crossing. That's wall crossing. Absolutely. So what this talk is about, I had a bit of physical limitations where this blackboard tried to do my best. So this talk is going to be essentially a tale of two characters. So two characters. Characters as characters in the play. So the card number one is for a physical point of view, a topological gauge theory. So gauge theory, which in my case will leave on a real three-dimensional, smooth manifold. And for a mathematical point of view, this was proposed by Whitton in order to describe, well, a class of invariants derived from quantum groups. Quantum invariants. Sort of a mathematical counting part of the real. Number two is where, from a physical point of view, so I understand we have a mixed audience today, is, again, a topological theory, topological field theory, but coupled to gravity in two dimensions. So first quantize, topological string theory. The particular version that I will be discussing today is something that is related to care countings on killer manifolds, actually on caveat manifolds in dimension three. So the mathematical counter bar is, well, your favorite care counting theory. These are the two values. This is what they are.  So I got two messages. So the first message of this talk is that, well, character one, well, understandable conditions. So both of these guys will give you a bunch of numerical invariants that can be naturally organized in generating function forms, and my claim is that generating functions for the first guy under a suitable identification of characters will match with generating function of care counting invariants of Caldeos. So this is an identification that was put forward in physics literature by Gopakumar and Bafa in, I guess, 98, and further elaborated upon by Guri Bafa in 1999. So this is the first message, and the second message is that both of these guys under essentially the same conditions so that the first line holds our goblin, the normal intent of local recursion, that was introduced this morning by Bertrand. So the plan of the talk is just a very broad overview, is to, well, I assume that not everyone is familiar, at least with one side, either side of the correspondence. So I'm going to tell you, first of all, what I mean, what is sublogical gauge theory, or the spot that's named in the title. Then I'm going to introduce its string theory counterpart, co-conic counterpart. Then I'm going to give you some evidence in favor of the existence of this correspondence. And the evidence in question, so it's good for pedagogical reasons to deal with, once chief example is going to be for the most part a review of the original results of Gopaku, Maruguri and Bafa, but this does not stress just a pedagogical need. The thing is that there is, at the moment, no structural theory behind the existence of this correspondence. What we have is essentially, this is essentially phenomenological theory.  There was a 120 page paper by Wheaton today. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's a bit different. That's actually the Gopaku-Maruguri interpretation of the logical string. So yeah, it's not what I'm going to talk about. Yeah, when I started to grow up, I was like, oh my God, I had this little Tuesday. And then I'm going to discuss this, the relation with topological recursion, and since most of my talk will be of expository nature, and on this one example that is well understood, sort of needed and we will have by the end, is to extend the circle of ideas to, well, as much as possible, essentially. We've brought this class of three manifolds, where we believe that such correspondence exists. So there's extensions of the circle of ideas, obstructions that I will try to carefully sweep under a rug, and at least one application to Gramo-Wheaton theory, in particular the Krappon resolution conjecture. So I said nothing in the first five minutes. I guess it all can start. So let me start off with, well, M, a closed, pre-empted, I mean, working too small. Is this readable from the last one? Well, a real free manifold. I'm going to fix G, a compact meager, which throughout most of the story will be C1. I'm going to consider a trivial G bundle. A will denote a smooth G connection. And E, I'm also going to fix kappa, an integer, and R, an irreducible representation of G. Out of this data, I can define a functional, a transgression form of the second chart character, which through a connection A, assigns the integral over M of kappa over 2 pi trace, of U n will be trace in the fundamental representation. Just fix U n for the moment. A YGDA plus 2 3rds H1. So this all depends on the smooth structure now. We haven't picked the remaining matrix in this. And Whippton, 1988, proposed that the topological invariant of three manifolds, depending on all this data, will arise from sort of averaging of the connections. So if you're a physicist, you will consider the path integral over the space of connections module of vertical transformations of exponential I s, which are signs of A. And there are, so there's a number of things that we can compute out of this, the sort of higher dimensional animal god, matrix integrals that Bertrand was introducing in the morning. And there are natural quantities that we can compute. What is the partition function? It's going to depend on our three manifold on our integer kappa called level. And if I stick to the fact that G is equal to U n, it's going to depend on the rank of U n. Or if we have a knot, we have kappa, well, k, a knot inside our three manifold m, we can consider where the homonomy of a gauge connection A and take the trace energy, or E rep, labeled by, by left R. We can normalize this guy by the partition function. So I'm going to denote this by W.  It's a function of m, kappa, n, and our representation. Which is not the same. It's not the same power as you use to normalize. No, it's the same R. It is the same R. This R is that R. There is no R in normalizations, I guess. No, no, no, normalization. It takes trace R. Yeah. So yeah, this is fixed. This is fixed once and for all, and this goes for the right. Let me call this star level star. So some remarkable facts about two quantities. So the CES in the subscree of the actual sense of what you're assigning is.  So if you're a physicist, there are many expectations that you have and that you can prove at the heuristic level. So the first is that this is a topological theory, which is obviously true from the classical viewpoint, but you can prove that quantum mechanically this is preserved up to minor tweaks in the phase of the partition function and of the Wilson loop. So what this gives you, if you can compute it, is a topological, a smooth and topological three-manifold invariant. So the slight tweak that I didn't discuss is in fact an invariant of frame three-manifolds. And the second and perhaps most remarkable fact about this quantum field theory is that it is exactly so by canonical quantization on the Riemann surface times the line. So by canonical quantization, we can show a remarkable relation with rational conformal field theory. And in particular, the would-be physics invariance would compute this formula turned out to coincide on the nose with the invariance introduced by Grasciotekin and Terayev for frame-notes and frame-tree-manifolds arising from quantum groups. And in the case of knots, you can recover the homelyskeen or Kauffman in the case of which you switch from U.N. to say S.O.N. or S.P.N. So there's a whole class of topological invariance of three-manifolds and of knots that arise this way. But there's another approach to other than using canonical quantization which is to treat a path integral formally as a cubic correction to an otherwise linear and well-defined Gaussian theory. And this makes perfect sense to solve in the limit where the equivalent of h-bar for this QFT is small, which means large-cup. So this can be, the problem can be approached by looking at perturbation theory, the large-cup, this framework. This assumes perturbation theory around a trivial connection, subsume the theory of oscillating invariance. This can be seen, for example, in temporal gauge. But a second type of perturbation theory which was alluded to earlier this morning by Bertrand is to consider instead of the limit of large k, you can consider the limit of large, sorry, this is Kauffman. You can consider the limit of large kappa and N. So again, this is because you stick with U.N. and you get kappa-gram, the ratio of kappa-gram fixed. So as for n-gauge theory, or as for matrix models, in the case of the remission ensemble, when you consider the integrals formally and you have a diagrammatic expansion of the partition function and the vets of gauging invariant operators, there's a, so if you consider the log of star, so the log of z, let me call it f, log of z, m, n, call this f. As a formal expansion of large n of the type sum, g greater than 0, n to the 2 minus 2g at the g of, well, m and the ratio of kappa over n that I'm going to be fixed. And I've just erased them, but if instead of considering gauges of, say, short polynomials of the Carton element to represent your whole anatomy, you consider, well, Newton polynomials. There's an analog of the multi-trace operators, connected multi-trace operators that we're trying to introduce today. W is m and kappa, n, and then I have, well, a string of integers. I'm going to consider a vector of integers h, this is the sort of cumulons. Well, the exact animal got the cumulons that we're trying as considered earlier today. Here I've got a sum 2 minus 2g minus the length of the string of integers times some function wg depending on n, kappa over n, and the integers that define my traces. So this is kind of reminiscent of what was introduced in this morning's talk. And if you look, for example, at just the first line, well, if you're a physicist, you would say, well, if I interpret 1 over n as a string coupling constant, this is, well, the free energy of some theory of first quantized strings, some string theory with some target that will depend on my tree manifold and whose background will be somehow described by this range. And mathematically, there's sort of, this moment is at the stage of just wild speculations. The real question is, well, is there any such thing? Is there a string? Or is this the kind of gadget that would come when you want to pack together invariants that arise from any homological field theories? Just integrals over mg and bar during a string or a co-FT interpretation. This is just no grounding for the moment. Just a belief that we may have is what is actually inspired, toffed in his paper in 74 in the context of QCD. It makes sense to pose the same question here, and do we have a shot at actually giving an answer? So what is h with the arrow? Right, so instead of considering that's some normalize that's a short function of some carton element, u, I want to consider, well, Newton's point, averages of Newton's point. I'm just changing bases in the space of symmetric functions. p, h, e to the u. So I get just powers of, power sums in carton element where the occurrence of each trace is labeled by a vector of integers h, which is zero from some point on. So what do we want here? And I take the connected part. This is vital in order to have one of our expansion that is analytic up to some pole. So this begs for the introduction of some other gadget. So since we started from some topological gauge theory and we want some string theory that is dual to it, it's worth looking at topological string theories. And I'm going to look at one particular version of it, which is a topological A model. So this is the theory that arises when you twist n equals 2 to sigma models on to some scalar manifold, x, it's implanted for omega, and what you're interested in is an intersection theory on a module of stable maps to x. So the fact that the string theories are topological means that they have a purely instantonic character, as you compute observables that are in the homology of the topological B.R.C. operator. So they localize on classical equations of motion, which in this case is Cauchyry. And you want to construct a modular space of holomorphic maps to your given target space. So this modular space of morphisms from a source-projective curve of genus G to x, so in fact I'm going to take this pointed P1, Pn, to x where the image of fundamental class Cg, some class beta in H2OXZ, and I take quotients by biolomorphic equivalents. And as was done earlier today, I'm going to consider a Konciovich competition of these guys. So I'm allowing double points on the source curve and I'm contracting components that have an automorphism group of infinite order. So if we restrict ourselves to the case where x has dimension 3 and it has trivial canonical class, there are sort of two... Well, there is one obvious iterating function of intersection numbers on this modular space. You start with the case where you have no mark points. Find f with the twiddle G sin parameter t to be equal to... This is a sum of two homology classes. In Z, with it by some fugacity, so this is what... So the t-parameter here is dual to the index that goes for the right of all numerically effective classes on x. And here I have, well, the degree of the fundamental class, the virtual fundamental class, this is to connect the logarithm of the partition function of the topological aim model. This is something that has... When you organize this as a sum over the genus, it's something that order by order can be matched with free energies of whatever has one over an expansion. So we got that. Let me call it star second. And as far as the double stars go, we can introduce mark points, double gen twiddle, depending on the same parameters in the second homology of x. We're going to throw in, well, a bunch of parameters into mark points insertions. And, well, simple as that's historic. Let me say this instead. So this is a correlator of... Well, the kind of homology class is that you can consider for intersection theory on this moduli space. We've seen already an instance in the morning. As for the moduli space of stable curves, tautological and bundles that are perfectly defined here as well. You can consider the curvature classes. There are side classes that I can pack in generating function form. And one of the things that we gain from the fact that we have some target space is that we can pull back homology classes from the target by evaluation morphisms. The sort of most general PRC operator you can consider in this theory. Now, when x is a kalabiyao, this contains no extra information with respect to this. There is some universal differential operator in the variable t, out of which you can extract this W tilde, starting from f tilde. But suppose that x admits some holomorphic isometry. Suppose in particular that x is historic, so you have a rank three group of holomorphic isometries that you can play with. Then in this case, the degree axiom of ordinary grammar will continue to break down. And this allows this guy to be actually much more refined than its non-equivariant counterpart. So, if x is historic and you work equivalently with respect to a torus action, this is actually quite a rich object. So, phi-off is here. Phi-off of i, classes in x and up-size. They're first-gen classes of the tautological line bundle that have already appeared in the same definition, essentially, in the case of just stable curves. So, I'm going to take this as a conduit for a double star. What time did it start? 2.10? Half an hour. So, right. So, in particular, when g is equal to 0 and n equals to 1 and double star prime is so-called, is given pause. So, in here, I'm also... This is going to depend on the details of my torus action. This will depend on one integer ambiguity in the choice of torus when it's down. Let me parameterize it with an integer f. This is basically telling me what torus action I'm looking at. So, as a smaller side, if you know about this, since it was mentioned, more or less, in Bertrand's talk, when x is toric, is toric halibut in 3, there's a... well, there's a sort of calculational definition of open-ground within there, by localization. So, in the front of localization, this is q. And if you've heard about this, all the generating functions of, say, counts of holomorphic maps from open-ground surfaces, genus G, and h components of the boundary relative to some is a toric grunge array. These guys are computed in a sort of discrete transform of this double star prime. So, this will depend on, say, for a case of one whole, it will depend on well, homologic parameters T, your choice of torus action F, it will depend on the choice of your Lagrangian, and it will depend on a winding number variable D. These guys are at the topology of a swan times a two-rear plane, and this is a sort of... So, let me introduce a winding number variable associated to the one you go over, this S1. And there's a kernel given by the other beta function of minus Df, Df is D minus 1. Df plus 1 to the minus 1 applied to W tilde G1 of T and F and z set to 1 over D times WD over D squared. So, open ground between there and sorry, we construct it. Well, actually, it's different. What the localization formula tells you is precisely how to recover this open string count from the design... Right. Yeah, great point. So, this guy will depend on a bunch of homological data. If you take the alpha 1, I'll find two parameterized... Well, to index the homology classes that are concentrated at the fixed points of the torus action, then this will compute... So, picking like one particular fixed point will select a Lagrangian such that the holomorphic disks in your open ground-wittern count will attach to that particular... Well, the cap of your homomorphic disk will attach to that particular fixed point. So, they're sort of buried in here in the choice of Lagrangian. So, suppose there is even a very little chance that Witton-Rachateckin derived invariance of a three-manifold M can be reconstructed. Can be given an alternative interpretation in terms of long-wittern theory. Well, the question is what's the target given some three-manifold? So, let me give you the example. So, take M to be simply connected and at this stage I'm not considering either no knots, such as the partition function or the trivial knot. Now, in this case if you take the one over M so let me actually introduce parameters lambda 2 pi i over kappa plus n and t equals 2 lambda times n then as a function of these two parameters f of s3 lambda t on general grounds has some definitely one over M expansion. So, some lambda expansion for positive g with some fg of s3 and t and this guy is computable in closed form as I said. Trincylin's theory is exactly soapable in this case where we have exact formula and we know how to do asymptotics to all orders in one brand. So, in general zero this gives a polylodorhythm of order 3 in the exponential of t plus a quadratic part that I'm discarding at this stage. 1, it gets minus 1 and 12 logarithm 1 minus c to the t plus a constant term that I'm actually discarding at this point and higher g to this it gives essentially the dual characteristic of Mg v2g over 2g, well divided by 2g minus 3 factorial 2g minus 2 factorial times some rational function in the exponential of t which is actually a polylodorhythm of order 3 minus 2g of e to the t plus some constant term v2g v2g minus 2 these are Bernoulli numbers over 2g 2g minus 2 2g minus 2 factorial. This may or may not ring a bell but around the same time where this asymptotic, well, in the same months when this asymptotic expansion was done by Gopakumar and Vafa Faber and Kanderipande studied the application of the virtual localization formula to the case of essentially the the local neighborhood of the rigid p1 inside the Kavya 3. So lo and behold theorem fg of s3 comma t coincides with the generating function of Gram-Witton invariance by genus g for some Tori-Kavya 3 fold x where x is the total place of 2 copies of the tautological line bundle of p1 so left and side of Gopakumar and Vafa and for example if you look at what happens when you compute for example a planar limit of the color of the polynomial in the case of a single winding number so it's a function of Kappa and t is some hyper geometric function minus d df minus 1 df plus d minus df e to the t well there's some proportionality factor that I'm discarding here on e to the t it's related to the beta function that I put it there and this is a code skew and tau j function for x well, equivalent with respect to some torus action specified by the framing f so there is some framing here as well there is complete coincidence of two gadgets that well in the face of it have absolutely nothing to do with each other something leaves in three real dimensions that is a topological invariant and then you have a symplectic invariance of Kali-Bial trees and it's even, well it's hard to tell why you really have to be grumbling with in theory to reproduce the one of our expansion of transcendence theory and if you pick s3 what's the relation with x so y and many y's so let me address first though so how does this Kali-Bial 3 very simple Kali-Bial 3 arises from s3 this is not the simplest Kali-Bial 3 that you can construct out of three manifold that would be the first shot at a six dimensional symplectic manifold that you can construct from s3 is well you take a cotangent bundle which is this can be equivalently represented as dfine quadratic in c4 suppose s3 as radius r dr would pop in here as a complex deformation parameter then you can regenerate this s3 what you get is a quadratic cone so this is a cone over s2 times s3 and this admits a canonical torque resolution which is prevalent and is given by the small blow-up of this cone and this is a vector bundle on p1 which is to p1 is actually rigid and there's only thing that this can be this is o-1 that's o-1 there's some relation between the two let's say o-1 so physicists first gave an interpretation in terms of well a copy space interpretation now this iterating function of ground-wetting variance have an interpretation in type 2 compactification as computing some protected terms in n equals 1 n equals 2 and for example there's superpotential superpotentials can be computed either by considering topological string with either brains, so some open string theory leave it in here or by considering fluxes and turns out that the brain configuration in here can be related wisely, this was done by Vafa, lifting to my theory Atya Malthusen and Vafa so that you get an identity at the level of what this computes in the physical theory and so microscopically another thing that would be desirable is to well see some theory of teacher assignments somehow appear from the string at the integral and the result comes and there's a beautiful paper by Vafa which builds heavy on previous paper about wetting so we're going to show on that open ground-wetting variance on T star of S3 with a Lagrangian taken as the zero section of this bundle is equivalent to Simon's theory so this boils down to proving an equivalence between open ground-wetting and closed ground-wetting and in physical terms you can see this as a sort of new phase that opens up on the worksheet when you integrate it out it creates holes on your worksheet and that's precisely what you get so mathematically it's the sort of mathematical version of this phi2 in some ongoing work of YPLE which is pretty much along these lines and second mathematical or physical depending on your inclinations explanation comes from the fact that both sides are governed by the topological recursion in particular, Chen's Simon's theory can Chen's Simon's theory partition functions have a representation an integral representation due to first Razzanski and Lawrence and then more generality by Marino in terms of U and matrix values and this gives you the kind of structure that you expect from a topological recursion W10 and some higher WGH computed by the topological recursion itself this has been proved actually by Mark and Laurent Tan and on the string side you have a natural candidate for W10 that comes from Toric Neurosymmetry and the last rest that you have to prove is that this gravitational descendants obey the topological recursion and this was what was into that at the end of their trans-talk so you have the same initial datum for the recursion and the same recursion the two things agree you have a conifold transition or resolve conifold to have torus-section but on Chen's Simon's you ignore torus-section it's kind of strange that's the thing, you have the framing that's put in torus-section to of Chen's Simon's so the thing is so normally you have a torus-section so in a constant approach you need to pick up a torus-section that preserves the canonical bundle of your x plus constraints on where you put the Lagrangian this leaves you with one parameter ambiguity but that means that Chen's Simon's also should desecrate a parameter with torus-section well what the equivalent parameter matches with on the Chen's Simon's side is process loop framing parameter so that's it's kind of strange because it is not completely intuitive it is on the two hands so you've got framing on one side and the choice of torus-section and it too happened to match but I don't have a conceptual explanation of why they have to match so in canonical framing you have some you have an identification and you see that changing framing amounts to changing torus-section on the other hand on the Gramm-Witton side but I cannot offer you a conceptual understanding of that so this is very nice because you see that two theories as different as these two enjoy a relation and there's something that you can do like this so implications Witton-Rochetkin-Turayov Gramm-Witton so on one hand Witton-Rochetkin-Turayov events are naturally defined at finite level and especially at finite rank so this resolves Gramm-Witton generating functions to all general typically something that is very hard to attain and one of so by gluing there's an application to hydrogen's Gramm-Witton invariance of Tori-Kavyaus and for example this is the natural gadget that you would use to test stuff that works when you want to analytically continue in the string coupling constant in the genus constant a Gramm-Witton DT and on the other hand what Ruben was was mentioned before is that there is a reinterpretation of Gramm-Witton invariance in terms of BPS state counting and so Gramm-Witton invariance are in general initial rational numbers they're not heavy-media an immersive meaning but in this context of Kavyaus they can be reconduced they can be expressed in terms of inter-world BPS invariance as shown by Pandarek Pandan-Thomas so this is kind of unexpected when it comes to looking at the structure for example of the homely polynomial for a class of knots like Brownian knots the LMO-V conjecture which was proven by by Kevin New and Pan-Pang about five years ago this is extremely appealing but it's one example there are many things that need to be understood and these that you want to ask is well if you cannot explain at least try to generalize as much as possible this picture from S3 to the L0 and gauge group Q1 to well as general as possible free manifold M and arbitrary knot and arbitrary gauge group G G has to be sorry in your expansion you have seen a large N limit so G is classical so UN S1 SPN so these are the case that you can find so in particular this extension to our trigonal-symplatic group was considered by Senior and Vafa there is an analog of these integrality conjectures one one extension to so moving from beyond knot to for example torus knots well there have been proposals for an A-model and B-model so both of a special curve and of some A-model target about Yakonesi, Shen and Vafa and for the B-model both myself and Art and Maurinho it seems very hard to go beyond this case of torus knots there isn't an ongoing big project though which seems very promising by Agnagic, Vafa, Ekul and Gunn to generalize this to the case of general torus knots but the role of the topological recursion in that case is at best unclear and a sort of more drastic thing that we can do is well change the free manifold and yeah this is what I'm going to discuss in the last five minutes so I think that well the broadest is probably the broadest class of examples to which you can put this the quality of transciences we're growing with to work is to consider M the spherical cipher manifold so gamma is a fine software there are two obvious questions Art what is the dual curve counting period that you're looking at second is what is the well using the translation for spectral curves there's the dual spectral curve depending on gamma such that well free energies and the gravitational descendants are computed from topological recursion on this S the general strategy is take the kind of transition picture seriously this is this gave us a big clue what to look at in the S3 let's try and persevere and consider quotients of the story by gamma there are essentially two cases the one that I want to discuss more rapidly is the case in which gamma is a billion this list of landspaces so you got a cotangent space on a landspace LPQ in here you got a quotient of the singular conifold by some cyclic group action so you started with some toric variety and you had a C star cube inside the quotient by a cyclic group you still have a C star cube inside and you can so this is still toric everything is toric in here and you can resolve it historically and it's going to give you some candidate for what X gamma should be for landspaces so the story is completely parallel to the S3 case when these free manifolds are monopled bundles there's a slight departure that I'm not going to discuss for the general landspace but this whole story can be generalized and in particular what's left is the spectral curve since everything is toric you have toric mirror symmetry that you can appeal to the whole above mirror is what will give you a spectral curve so this was done by many people starting in the beginning of 2000 the case that was left out is the case when gamma is up to central extension finding subgroup of S2 so this is what I'm looking at presently with an MPI bond and Albrecht claim now in this case gamma is not abelian so what you're going to get in here is something that is not toric there's no there's no horibuffa and no spectral curve that you can construct this way but with the fact that the subgroup is inside S2 you see that the quotient group acts fiber wise on the result kind of so what you get is you can resolve this fiber wise by the canonical resolution of type ad singularities it is going to give you some people which is not toric but that is absolutely it's clearly identified the problem is is there any way starting from there to construct a spectral curve and one way that is inspired from the geometric engineering of Katz, Klein and Wafa is actually connecting some dots in the physical literature is that well the spectral curve for this gamma is the spectral curve of the well I'm going to call it it's probably not standard notation but the ad is relativistic actually the generalization to arbitrary lead groups of the periodic relativistic toric so for type ad this was considered by Reusenars in the mid-80s and then generalized to arbitrary gauge to arbitrary in today's groups by Soresen most recently by Fokker-Marshkov this passes several tests and in particular since in this case as well as for land space and the stream the Chernzymons observables enjoy a representation in terms of matrix integrals you can match the spectral curve that you get on one side with a proposal that comes from here we don't have a complete proof at the moment but for example for the trigger connection contribution we can test well we can explicitly see that the spectral curves of the Chernzymons matrix model is given by a suitable restriction of the actual variables of the spectral curve that you get from this class of complex integrals systems and if I can conclude in two minutes this one application is as to once conjecture to the Krapman resolution conjecture a higher genus this sort of philosophy was exploited in Taipei by myself with Kaolier and Ross to prove that the higher genus full descendant version of the Krapman resolution conjecture holds for Taipei singularities by which I mean that the full descendant grown with the potential for Taipei or C2 mod ZN resolution is given by the action of some quantis operator quantization of some element of the symplatic loop group acting on the full descendant Gromwitten partition function at all general of the orbital theory and it was crucially there to explicitly see that the R matrices in the Gaven-Tals approach for the calculation of the ZS agree on the semi-simple locus and this comes from some asymptotic or some asymptotic in one variable for the guide you extract from the spectral curve and for DNA the kind of Gaven-Tals mirror symmetry theorems fall short of giving an answer but this integrable systems viewpoint is probably the key to to generalize this to the case of general AD surface singularities I can stop here


No, I don't know you're quite was your question I guess the specificity to pitch the hand to heart at that get too far out maybe Above the zone you need to pop up to right and it's a homerun. That's what it is. It's going to make better pitch You know how this part plays is Is there any frustration during the game when that's going on? You just um, I mean anytime you give up a home run it's uh, it's frustrating but Everybody's playing in the same part, you know It's not like the fences move back when we hit or move forward when they hit so it's um, it's part of it David your struggles here ever enter your mind when you're out there, you know before the game No, not at all.  It doesn't matter who I'm pitching against or the ballpark I'm pitching in and you know, there just hasn't been the case here in uh, in yakey stadium past um year or two, but um I'll get over that David the four walks kind of uncharacteristic for you is there A particular pitch that may be a difficulty commanding them last but not um I don't feel like I really commanded You know any of my pitches that well, you know over the course of the night, but um, you know fastball command is It's something I have to have and I don't feel like I had my best fastball command tonight. So uh, I paid for it Or some usage was a tick up tonight. Was that just because the command is that from stagcast or it's yeah All right, don't worry about that. It's not right


Hey guys, it's Tilling into today I'm here with the mid-year book Freakout Tag. This was created by Is That Chammy and Ellie Jane and I think it's always best to do this because I always freak out in the middle of the year. Like Christmas is going to be here soon and then a whole new year starts and everything that I planned for this year hasn't gone to plan. And if I keep thinking about this I'm just going to continue spiraling. So let's get on with the video. So the first question is best book you've read so far in 2018. See this is hard because usually when I talk about the best book so far I can do my last video I can narrow it down to like the top few and when you say just pick one my mind is like how do you just pick one? I'm not going to lock this in but if I had to pick one right now in the spot I'm going to have to pick Red Rising by P.S. Brown because it is the most fresh in my mind. I recently read this book and I really really loved it. So this book follows a young man called Darrow and Darrow is a red. So this is like a typical dystopian novel where you have different levels of people who get color coordinated. Red is basically the lowest and you have golds which are the highest. And Darrow has basically been working up on Mars to colonize it for the people of Earth and basically save them. So he gets low rations. He gets his work to the bone and he gets treated a bit like dirt. And when his wife ends up being killed he finds out that his whole life has been lied to. So he joins the rebellion to help bring down the gold and to kind of even out society. So that's definitely my favorite read so far. I need to read the rest of the series and I hope it's going to be just as good. I do think it's actually a really important book despite these like really heady themes and of course it has really good messages in it as well. And especially things that you can relate to in 2018 too. Especially with like the society levels and matters. So I think it's one that you guys should probably take a look at picking up if they're these are things that you guys can stomach because it is pretty damn brutal. Question number two is best sequel that you've read so far in 2018. I just have a sudden realization that I haven't actually read any sequels to books. So for this question I'm going to have to say Obsidio, which is the third and final book in the Illuminae files. This is the actual only series that I've continued on with this year. I haven't read that many books this year but I need to pick up my game. I enjoyed Obsidio. I don't think it was as amazing as the other two books in the series and I think that for the finale it wasn't as action packed as the other books. But I still really enjoyed it because I absolutely love these stories. If you guys are after an epic sci-fi you should definitely read this. It is so action packed and there's always something happening and their characters are really fun as well. And the writing styling is quite unique and you guys will enjoy it. Number three is new release that you haven't read yet but you want to. This one is very easy for me. It is A Reaper at the Gate by Sabata here. This is book number three in the Ember Quartet and I'm very very excited for it. So the first one is in Ember and the Ashes and it is a fantasy series that is fantastic. I absolutely love it and I'm going to be starting this one soon but I have a book that I need to read before it and then it's all mine. I just love this book so much like I haven't even read it and I already love it. Question number four is the most anticipated release for the next half of the year. That one is a very easy question for me to answer as well and I am so blessed to actually have the book in my hands to show you guys but I have not read it yet but I will be straight away and that is Bridge of Clay by Marcus Zuzak. So I'm a huge fan of Marcus Zuzak and I'm a huge fan of absolutely anything that he writes so I'm very very excited for Bridge of Clay and I cannot wait to actually read it. But it's actually in my hands which is crazy. But anyway this one is released on the 9th of October so make sure you guys go out and buy it and support Marcus Zuzak and let him know how amazing he is and I can't wait to tell you guys about how much I love this book when I finally finish it. Number five is my biggest disappointment. Number six is biggest surprise. My biggest surprise this year has been the scandal by Frederick Bachman. I bought this book because it is pretty and I read this book because I bought it and thought that I probably should read it and not just buy books because they're pretty anymore because that's how I lose my money. And I loved this book. It's probably one of my favorite reads so far for 2018 and it was one that I went into complete blind. I hadn't heard anyone's opinions on it. I hadn't even heard of the book before I bought it and it was amazing. I really, really enjoyed it. The writing style that Frederick Bachman has is phenomenal. If you guys are after a slow-paced, yet really rewarding read, I definitely recommend picking this one up. It is to do with the scandal that revolves around a small town and how everyone in this town deals with it. And it is really, really amazing despite that blurb sounding really, really boring. Number seven is your favorite new author. I haven't really got a new favorite author from this year. I do. Tohmi Adyemi. She wrote Children of Blood and Bone and she's a fantasy author that I will buy every book from now because I really, really enjoyed this. This was an amazing book. There was one thing I didn't like about it and that was the romance aspect of it. Other ones like the writing, the characters, the plot, everything else was fan-fucking-tastic. Question number eight is my newest fictional crush. I basically crush on everybody that I read so I'm not entirely sure who my favorite would be so far. This is just me looking at the piles of books that I now have scattered around me from filming two videos in a row. You know, I'm gonna really cop this answer out for now and just pick one of my all-time favorite book crushes which is Isabelle Lightwood. I love her. I would die for her. If I had to pick a second one it'd be Rose Hathaway because they're basically the same person but I just, I love Isabelle. She has a place in my heart forever. Number 10 is a book that made me cry. I haven't actually cried at any books this year which I know, I know you got to believe me because I am an emotional wreck of a human being but I actually haven't and I'm going to blame it to the fact that I haven't read that many books this year but I can say that the most emotional one to read so far has been the Tatuus of Auschwitz by Heather Morris. This one is based on a true story of a man who was basically the Tatuus of Auschwitz called Layle and it follows his story as he was taken to the prison, as he's given the role of the Tatuus as he falls in love and he endures and hopes to survive this camp. Obviously having a war-based book is something that is quite heart-wrenching and sad to read about anyway but I didn't cry in it but I was very, very close. Number 11 is a book that made me happy. All of the books always, books always make me happy. Buying a book alone makes me happy and even reading it makes me even happier so I can't just pick one. Every book makes me happy. Every book makes me happy. Number 12 is my favorite film to book movie adaption that I've seen so far this year. Love, Simon. That is one that I have actually watched. I haven't watched a lot of movies either but I loved it. It was so cute and I want more of everything to do with Love, Simon. I really hope that they do make a layer on the offbeat movie. I don't know if they will. I haven't even read the book but like anything that has those characters in it I am down to watch or read. Number 13 is your favorite review that you've done so far this year or the booktube version which is favorite video that you have done so far this year. Well I've done like six or seven videos so far this year because life has been busy so I'm going to actually pick my most recent video at the present time of filming which isn't my most recent video now that I think about it but anyway I would have to say my Supernova Wrap Up Plus 2 exciting books. This video though like it was just like an average video to film involves things that I am really proud that I have done and things that I've really enjoyed doing this like past six months and includes two books that I have mentioned this video that I was also really really excited for and it basically just talks about Supernova and doing things that I love and just I don't know I was really happy so I enjoyed that one the most. The most beautiful book that I've bought so far this year or received so this will have to be a toss up between the most beautiful which I would have to say is Little Women and Other Stories by Louisa May Alcott in the stunning Barnes & Noble Leatherbound Edition which I collect it is quite beautiful and I love it so so much. All the absolutely adorable perfect imperfections by Alex Serns this is beautiful dog portraits with dogs that have disabilities and it's it's you need to look at it. And number 15 is What books do you need to read by the end of the year? We're gonna go on a little trip because I need to read all of these books by the end of the year and all of these books which are double stacks by the end of the year. I don't think that I could probably just pick one I have a lot to read and I have a lot to catch up on and if I keep buying books and not actually reading them I'm going to die under a pile of unread books which we can't have, can we? So there you guys have the Mid-Year Book Freakout Tag I haven't had breakfast yet and I'm getting hungry so I'm gonna tag Tanika from Flipping to the Pages who is one of my all-time favorite people in the entire world so check her out you guys will love her as much as I do and I'll be back with another video again soon hope you guys enjoyed this one if you have any video ideas let me know and until then I hope you guys have a lovely bookish day and that great things happen to you Bye! So let's get started I have 87 books that I have recently got I don't want to make this video way too long for you guys so I'm gonna kind of be quick going through
