aberrant activation of the Janus kinase, JAK, and signal transducer and activator of transcription, stat, pathway is common in systemic lupus erythematosis, SLE. This causes immune mediated properties in target tissues, which can lead to end organ damage. Several cytokines are responsible for this activation, and multiple drugs have been developed to block them. These include tophacetanib, boricetanib, and ducrobacetanib, which have all been used to treat SLE with varying degrees of success. Tophacetanib, a JAK1-3 inhibitor, was found to reduce cholesterol levels, improve vascular function, and decrease the type by interferon signature in SLE patients. Boricetanib, a JAK1-2 inhibitor, showed significant improvement in lupus rashes and arthritis in two separate clinical trials, but these results were not replicated in another trial. Ducrobacetanib, a selective tyrosine kinase 2, TYK2, inhibitor, produced greater response. This article was authored by Dionysus Nicolopoulos, Dionysus Nicolopoulos, Ioannis Parides, and others.

Okay, so if like myself you're a hybrid worker whereby some days you work from the office and some days you work from home Then having a great quality speaker to have all of your meetings is quite important. This is where this comes in This is the Biodynamic Space Max. It's a brand new speakerphone that I'm going to be testing out It was sent to me by Biodynamic and you can see I have two of them Let's go ahead and start off with the unboxing and see how these sound and hopefully showcase to you guys How this is going to be the perfect choice for you. So let's get into it Now just before we dive into this. I just wanted to mention that they are a very eco-friendly company So there is no plastics. This is eco-friendly cardboard And then you also have here on the top Brief information thanking you for your purchase Right there front and center you have yourself the speakerphone and we'll dive into the design shortly But this is a very high quality premium design And then just on the left you have yourself the usbc to usbc cable Inside this little packet You have a usbc to usb a adapter in case you have a usb a port on your laptop and then underneath You have yourself this nice carry case if you want to take the speaker with you Maybe in your backpack on your way to the office And then just underneath that you have yourself the user manual So plenty of information to understand how everything works and get you up and running very quickly These two boxes are optional accessories that are sold separately So the first small box You have yourself the information about the wl adapter You take out the cardboard This is another wireless dongle that you can use to connect to not just the space max But also any of the other biodynamic devices. So whether that's the speakerphone or the headset You connect this up and it will detect everything by bluetooth. So you can have the wireless experience And in the last box You have yourself what is called a cascading cable Once you do connect both speakers with a cascading cable This would allow you to basically use this in a room of up to 12 people So that you can pick up the audio from all different directions from a very large room These come in two colors a lighter nordic gray and the one I have here in charcoal And you can see there's a few buttons here. These are not pressable buttons These are more touch capacitive buttons. So you just need to tap them to enable each of these functions So let's talk about what they are. So you have the volume buttons just there at the bottom You have the answer call and end calls just to the sides there You have the mute button Bluetooth pairing and then you can check the battery level which will give this LED ring around each of these options A light to showcase how much battery percentage is left This button here with the biodynamic logo is a multi function button And you can use this much like other wireless bluetooth speakers that you use for your music to control various different things So you can single tap to play and pause music double tap to go to the next track Triple tap to go to the previous track and if you hold this down for a couple of seconds Then this could enable voice assistant, whether that's google assistant or siri along the bottom You have yourself this nice biodynamic logo just there and then just on the other side You have yourself a kensington lock. So if you want to prevent this from being taken from meeting rooms You have that option. This is the 3.5 millimeter cascading cable connection there This is where you can connect your cable to your laptop via the usbc port to power it on and use it via the wired option Now this option here says power out. This is a really convenient thing as well So you can actually reverse charge your phones and other devices via the usbc port here and essentially use this as a power bank So this is like a whole multi purpose setup here Then you have your on off button there now you have speakers and microphones all around you can see They just show up in the 360 degree design You can essentially use this from basically any different angle and then right at the bottom You have yourself your slot where you can put the usb dongle And then there's also a quarter 20 inch thread So if you wanted to mount this on a tripod, for example, you have that option as well So very nice clean design So let's go ahead and set this up with my laptop and we'll test out the speaker the microphone and the cascading Okay, so now I have this connected via the usbc cable You can see an led ring showcasing that this is on if you ever wanted to use this with its wireless capability Via bluetooth, then you can actually check the battery level by just pressing the battery icon there And you can see it lights up green Telling you how much of the entire circle this gives you a full battery and in terms of the battery life This actually does have a runtime of 25 hours Which is a great amount of time to run off of a single full battery if you do want to use this with its wireless function So let's go ahead and connect it via bluetooth. So I will disconnect it from the usb cable You get a confirmation every time you do connect and disconnect the cable, which is quite nice So the first thing I'll need to do is turn this on And it gives you audio confirmation that the battery is 80 So to go into pairing mode, you just hold down that bluetooth button for a few seconds And you can see it flashes red and blue So now it's in pairing mode and when you head over to your laptop You can then connect it via bluetooth and it shows up very easily as space max So I will select connect And you got the audio confirmation to confirm that So now let's jump into the test of the speaker itself How great is the audio that comes from this as a standalone speaker? So the first test I'm going to do is just play some music And then maybe try the multifunction button to pause and play the music directly from the device itself And then we'll jump into a meeting call to see how it sounds when people are speaking back to you And how clear that sounds directly from the space max So I'm going to play this song and my microphone is attached to my shirt here So I'm very close to this and you guys should be able to hear quite clearly How rich the sound is how clear it is how crisp it is And even if there's some bass in there as well, so let's go ahead and test that out And in fact, I'll control the volume directly from here as well You'll see the volume control is also Signified by the ring lights So I just paused it with the multifunction button So one thing I also want to show is if I do twist this around 360 You will be able to hear the audio exactly the same from any direction So that is a very good option as well So no matter where you place it down You don't have to always try to find the bottom part and the top part or anything like that You just place it however you like and you'll be comfortable knowing That your audio whether that's from the speaker or your microphone is going to be as clear as possible So let's go ahead and continue playing it and I'll twist the speaker around Now I just wanted to say this is actually one of the nicest sounding speakers And probably the best sounding speaker from a speakerphone that is made for taking calls and hybrid remote working I feel like there's quite a bit of bass in there as well because I can actually feel the vibrations whilst I was holding this in my hand and That quality it's even better than a lot of the Just general bluetooth speakers that are made for music that I've tried in the past, which is quite nice to see So now I'm going to open up a recording of a zoom meeting and showcase that if I do use this to take calls How clear the audio is from hearing everyone else? But obviously that is dependent on the quality of the microphones of the people speaking But this is just an example to showcase how clear it would be if you are going to try and hit dialogue So let's go ahead and listen to one of those now We need we have a goal of at least three customer interviews per p.m There's an okr issue out there If you haven't updated it lately, please do so and Remember we have three weeks until q2 to hit our goal. So please Please do invest the time to get those set up And get at least three done if you haven't already Even then it's super loud and No matter how the quality is of everyone on the calls microphones I think this is you know really takes the audio enhances it And makes it even much clearer for you to actually listen to Now one thing I'm a huge fan of is never having to worry about just getting my headset putting that on And especially if I have long meetings Having your headphones on you know for long periods of time. It does start hurting your ears a little bit Can be a little bit uncomfortable So just having a headset free experience Just setting this up and not having to worry about putting anything on or just Having separate speakers for your laptop to listen to music or play your content This is like an all in one and that just sounds great So on the topic of microphones, let's go ahead and test out the microphone with my audio going directly into this And see how great that sounds from multiple different distances Okay, so now I've set up a zoom call and I'm going to record myself with the audio coming directly from the microphone in the Space max. So let's go ahead and see how great this sounds. So I'm going to Start the recording and switch over the audio recording in progress Now the audio you're hearing is directly coming from the space max and I'm quite close to it If I bring this even a little bit closer, you guys can hear How clear this is but obviously Most people when you are in a meeting room, for example, might not be this close So I'll be testing the distance in a second But if I'm just working from home and the microphone Via the space max. It's just on my desk here from this distance I just wanted to showcase how clear this would sound and if you are the person on the other end of the meeting Then this is how you would hear my voice. Now, of course, this does have four mems microphones 360 degree rotation So I'm going to continue speaking but again as with the speaker test I'm going to twist this around whilst I'm still talking so that you guys can hear that my audio levels Are not fading away as I turn this around and face the back of those face max and everything still comes out very clear So essentially doesn't matter where you put it doesn't matter how far you walk around it in which direction Everyone would still be able to hear you quite clearly on the call Now you can see it does pop up with the red and green colors for the answer and call as well So if you have an application like zoom or team setup and you're using this directly via the settings on there The green answer call and the red and call light on the LED ring will also showcase Like so so it's quite a nice little indicator as well just to see what is actually happening with the speaker And I quite like that So now let's go ahead and test a little bit about the distance because I am fairly close to this Okay, so as I'm standing up now, I'm going to start walking a little bit further away Maybe go up to about three meters so you guys can see And possibly hear how much of the audio starts to fade a little bit or help here It can still pick it up. So as I'm moving further away getting a little bit further I'm about two meters right now From the speaker. Can you guys still hear me quite clearly? Is the audio quite broken? Do I need to be a lot closer for anyone else in like a large meeting room to hear me clearly on the other end of the call? So let me go back even a little bit further and see how that sounds Okay, so now I'm about three and a half meters away Can you still hear me from this distance? And that is quite far most scenarios, maybe 95 plus People won't be this far from a speakerphone like this in a very large meeting room This is where cascading will really make a difference So as I walk back towards the space max, you can see my audio levels are getting louder again And it's becoming a lot clearer So one of the key things to Help you as a workaround from being long distance is cascading. So let's go ahead and see how that works Okay, so now let's cascade both of these using the 3.5 millimeter jack cascading cable So I'll connect one end. Just make sure that both of these space maxes are on cascade successful You heard that both of them gave the audio confirmation that cascade is successful So now you can go ahead and use this cable To hear back your calls on meetings and also use these as independent microphones Now you can only cascade two devices with a single cable And this would allow everything to be heard by up to 12 people Possibly even more depending on the size of your room and your meeting So I'm going to go ahead and split these out at a certain distance The maximum distance that this cable can take you which is around two meters And then let's go ahead and see how it sounds as I move between both speakers Okay, so now I'm standing quite close to the first space max speaker here and you can hear that I'm pretty clear As with my previous test when I was walking away in the distance you heard my audio fading a little bit just because of the distance I was From the actual microphone itself Now I'm going to do the same thing again walking away from that But now I'm getting closer to the second space max speaker Which is over here connected by the cascade and cable And you can see immediately with the audio when you are listening to this That is carried on picking me up as clear as possible from either of the speakers So if I'm standing right in the middle, you'll be able to hear very clearly being picked up from You know the different speakers in the room in the meeting room But as I'm closer to one Everyone that's listening on the other end of the call will still be able to hear me quite clearly And this is quite a nice setup as well. So if you have very large meeting rooms You don't necessarily need to have just one for a little huddle room or just in your home If you do go and take meetings in large board rooms, for example This is a very nice quick and easy clean setup All it is it's just one cable connected to each other and the cascading connection is ready to go So you can hear as I even move around from different sides of the space max Everything is still coming out quite clearly And if I'm as part of like a 1215 person large meeting Everyone is sitting all around different sides of the table no matter which direction they are No matter how loud or how softly they're speaking If you have a cascading setup, then this is actually going to be perfect for you But I'd like to hear your thoughts down below as well on how you think the audio quality is And how easy the setup is and how great these speakers sound and one of the final tests I also want to do with these speakers is also test the background noise isolation Now you can see I've just brought my fan here and I've got it pretty much on the mid level It's almost that it's maximum And I want to see how much of the wind noise can be picked up by the microphones because it's not that far away from the speaker to be honest And when on a hot day, I do tend to have my fan on in the background If I have my headset on it very easily gets picked up in my audio So people on my calls usually say, you know, do I have my fan on because it's interfering with my audio? So that's one thing I also want to test. So let's go ahead and see How much of that is removed recording in progress Now the audio is coming directly from the space max and I still have them in cascade mode So as I'm facing towards my laptop, I have both the space max is just on either side But the fan I purposely directed it towards the space max, especially this one here In normal mode when I do have my headset on this can very easily be picked up But as you're probably hearing now, it's doing a very good job not trying to pick up any of the background fan noises And the wind usually when it's targeted at a microphone It's very easy to pick up and in this case It's not doing that and I'm quite impressed with that and that's one thing I do look out for because now having these I don't have to worry about Having a fan on on those hot summer days in my background or even if you have like an air conditioning unit or anything else That does make a lot of noise Then you know and you can be confident that it won't interfere If any with your meeting calls. So that is a big plus for me So that's my review of the biodynamic space max. Let me know what you guys thought down below I'm really impressed with this. Check out the link in the description. They come in around 400 euros So although they do have quite a premium price tag It's reflected on the premium quality of this Just the speaker quality on its own I'm actually considering now using both of these space maxes as not just my home hybrid working Speakerphones, but also as my laptop speakers. So if I just want to watch content and playbacks of music from my laptop I'm more than happy of the quality that I get in return by just having these as the primary setup It prevents you from having separate speakers that you purchase for your laptop and then having A third speakerphone for your hybrid meetings or anything like that This is kind of like the all-in-one solution and I can't really find any faults with that So I'm very impressed with this and there's also some other cool features So you can actually turn on voice commands You just hold down the multifunction button with the volume up button You can play around with the LED ring lighting as well to turn this on in lighting mode Which will allow you to kind of bounce the lights on the ring with the music that you're playing back So plenty of cool options that you can get with this But I recommend everyone to you know, take a look at the link in the description to find the full list of features The detailed specifications and as always the latest pricing information Especially if you are considering buying this and if you are the person that does work from the office and work from home This is a must have for you.

Breaker Breaker YouTube. This is CreativityRV here. Coming back with my second video on how lanyats and buckets of bolts can cook on the big slab and keep the shiny side up. 10-4. I've been shooting the bowl with truckers at truckersreport.com and they have great advice for us. Advice we need. We all want to have our toenails on the radiator with the black ribbon clean as a hound's tooth. But sometimes it's good to back off the hammer and watch what the convoy is doing. 10-4. Is there cabbage up ahead? Is there a Kodak with a Kodak, a Bambi, an alligator, or a meat wagon? When is it safe to pass a dragonfly? Should we flash our lights? How do we handle high wind or break down safely next to the semis on the road? Is it okay for us to slide into the rocking chair? I'm going to give you the real scoop from the truckers themselves with all the info you need to stay safe on the road in this video. Hey everybody, it's Robin with Creativity RV and welcome to episode 20 of Be a Nomad, Change Your Life, my Sunday series where I try and give you every tip and trick that you need to hit the road full time. I don't know if you guys saw the video I did last Sunday on the etiquette of staying at truck stops from the truckers themselves, but today I'm going to talk all about safety and I really have to thank the truckers at truckersreport.com. I gave them some questions and they gave me hundreds of responses with stuff I've never heard before that's going to keep us safe. So if you want to live on the road part time or full time, really watch this whole video because there is advice in here I've never heard before and it has really answered some questions that I've had when I'm driving down the road. So I hope you guys can use it too. Okay, like I said, I got tons of good info from them so I'm going to get right into it. First of all, I asked a question on truckers forum that I heard in the comment section of my Walmart video is Walmart over. There was some good discussions in the comment section there about trucks or semis because a lot of them aren't able to stay at Walmart anymore. There was one lady in that section that commented that there was a system where you flash your lights to let the truck driver know that you're going to be passing him on the right because it's easier for us to maneuver than it is for them. And first of all, I want to say I got a resounding no on this one. You'll see that if you go in and read the forum. Now there were some old timers that came on that said, yes, there was a system like this in the 70s and 80s, but that system has long passed and most of the truck drivers are new. There's high turnover and they are all trained to only pass on the left. But I will say this, there are a couple of systems with lights that we can be aware of. First of all, if a trucker goes around you and then you see him tap his brakes a couple of times, he's probably saying thank you. That doesn't mean there's a hazard in the road or he sped up to get in front of you and then decided to slow down because maybe his onboard computer said he was going too fast, which is what I always thought. Usually they're just saying thank you. The other thing is if there are people behind you and you're blocking their view and you're on a two lane highway where there's a dotted line, you can tell somebody behind you that it's safe for them to go around you if you just tap on your brakes twice so they can see the lights without slowing down and causing a hazard. So let's talk more about passing semis and semis passing us. If a semi is going to take a right turn, do not be on their left because their butt will swing out. They have a wide turn radius and if they see us back there on the left as one trucker said in the forum and they're concerned about hitting us, they could go up on the curb while they're turning right or hit a pedestrian. If you're going to pass a semi, pick your moment, pass them quickly and fully and move on. Do not stay in the lane next to them and here's why because semis can be like sales, one guy said. They can catch air especially if they're empty and you could be next to them and their back end might swing over and hit you. So because we have two big rigs maybe going down the road, we want to give them lots of room on the side and in the front and in the back. So here's a really good one. I hear a lot of our viewers saying they hate mountain passes and I do too, by the way, but because the semis seem to speed up to get past them and then they slow way down. Well, this is probably because they're what they call dragon flies like I said in my intro, which means that they're slow to go up a hill and they're fast to go down. So like one guy said to me, the biggest problem he has at all with RVs, truck stops on the road, anything is that they passed the semi going up a hill because the semi is heavy.  And if they're heavy, they're slow to go up, they're fast to go down.  So just know that if it seems like they're speeding up or they're slowing down, it might be because they're going up a hill, they're slow, they go down a hill, they're fast, they go into a lower gear, they control it. But that is why they're going so fast. Or if there's another big hill coming up, they're going fast down the hill so they can get up the next hill and just know that it's tough for them to drive on the mountain passes too. So just give them a lot of room to maneuver around us and to go up and down. Also, when I asked the truckers what their biggest concern was from us on the road, I got some really interesting answers that I had never thought of. First of all, they said when they're coming up to pass us, they can see us on our side mirror getting nervous and clenching the steering wheel and looking constantly in the side mirror at their front right tire if they're passing us on the left. Now, of course, like the trucker said in the trucker forum, it's because they're scared that the truck's going to come over and hit them. But what happens is because your eye is looking that way, we tend to veer over into their lane. And so that of course scares them and they're looking out for us to do that when they're passing us. And that led to my favorite discussion in the forum and that is how to handle an airway. Now, you guys might know if you're in an RV or in a car. If you're in a lane and the trucker goes past you, your car goes like this. If you're just in a car, you might feel that you're jerked to the right a little bit. So I did some research on this and asked the truckers and here's what happens. Such good information. So think about trucks going through water or your RVs going through water when you're going through the air. Imagine a boat going through the water and it's creating a wake out like that, right? So the trucker is heavier than we are when it's going past us. There are three different air pockets that hit us. So when the front of them hits us on the right hand side, we're going to hit that first wake that the air is creating and it's going to jerk us to the right. But when we're in a bigger rig like an RV or a class A, we are also going through that air as if it's water creating our own wake. So when the two of us are side by side, what happens is those wakes hit each other and then the air pockets bounce off of each other and we're smaller. So we feel more of this, right? The third air pocket happens when the back right hand side of their truck is just passing us because that's when the big part of the wake will hit us and we'll be knocked back to the right. Now, I don't like this on the road and when I see a semi coming up to pass me, I admit that I have my hands on the steering wheel and I'm ready to be jerked around. But what I didn't know is that when they do that, the Simais are scared of us because we're driving these big rigs and a lot of them said that for some of our size rigs, we should have a CDL license or have some training. I don't necessarily disagree with that if we could get that. But what they see happening is that first of all, if they're coming up to pass, we might slam on our brakes and they don't know if there's a hazard in front of us. That's the first thing. The second thing is they see us, you know, like this and our hands start to go like this and what they find happens is that people get scared when the air pocket hits them and we over correct. So what happens is then we end up veering out of our lane, we hit them, we go into a ditch, something like that because we are trying to make up with our steering wheel for the air pocket.  When the air pocket hits you, just keep your rig as steady as you can. Don't try and make up for it because you're just getting rocked like this and then it's going to stop. And I got this great piece of advice. If you want to be rocked a little bit less when the semi goes by you, one guy said, take your foot off the horsies. So here's what you want to do. When you see the truck coming up in that right side, wake is about to hit you, just take your foot off the accelerator. Again, don't slam on your brakes because that can cause a hazard behind you.  Then when the back of their rig is about 30 feet in front of you, you can accelerate again. And it makes, I've done this since I talked to the guys on Trucker's Report and it really makes a big difference. Now when I see the truck coming up alongside me, I just take my foot off the gas, steady hold the steering wheel and when they're far up ahead, I accelerate again. It makes a big difference and it's a lot safer. So thanks, that was a great tip. The next biggest concern that I saw from the Trucker's by far was when people are pulling campers with a pickup truck, not fifth wheels, but a regular pickup truck pulling a camper. They said a few things that I think are really important for those people that have those rigs. First of all, they said that by far, these are the rigs that they see disabled over on the side of the road, mostly because people don't check their systems, the way the truckers do before they pull out. So these guys are used to hauling, they're used to having the right kind of engine for what they're hauling. So what they said is a piece of advice is first of all, make sure you have the right power of truck to pull whatever load is behind you.  They see a lot of people with blown tires on the side of the road that have these campers because they think they didn't check before they left. Now that brings me to kind of a scary thing that one of them said, which is, if you are disabled on the side of the road, don't just pull over to the right of the white line.  Okay, now I'm going to talk about a bunch of quick tips that they gave me to tell you so you can stay safe when you're on the road. Remember, these guys have a lot of experience and a lot of training that we don't get and so they have some really good tips in here. Number one, they said, if we stop driving, you should too. If the conditions on the road are bad enough that you're seeing semis pull over, pull over. They have reports about what's coming up ahead of us that maybe we don't have or some weather reports that we don't have. Number two, they said, of course, watch the weather advisories and the wind advisories. In fact, one guy said that we should not be driving down I-80 in Wyoming unless we have five years of experience in our RV and I went, when he said that because I did that road about five times my first year and it is no joke. It is freaking scary. So along that line, what should we do if it's really windy?  If you need to pull down below 45, you should be putting your hazards on and go slow. Don't let anybody rush you and don't just pull over on the side of the road because the wind is high. Keep moving or you can be blown over. Go slow until you are next to an overpass where you can park next to it or under a bridge or something that's going to give you some barrier from the wind before you stop. Here's the next tip. If there's more than five people going behind you on a two-lane road, you can pull over to let them pass but only do it on a flat paved area.  You can have a blown tire and it really hurts everybody behind you. Wait until you have a flat surface where you can pull over safely. The next thing is to keep your head moving which I thought you know me keep your head moving but what my understanding of that is if a truck pulls up alongside you remember they don't want to stay next to you on a road for a long period of time because one of us could veer right? So if in your peripheral vision you see that the truck is next to you turn and look at him because he's going to tell you if you have a compartment open or a loose hose or something like that. This is what they do for each other and they're happy to do it for us and conversely because we don't have cbs and they asked us to do the same thing for them. If we see that they have something going on with their rig grab a piece of paper if you can and write out something really simple pull up alongside them and just put it up in your window. It should be something like loose strap or check lights. The next tip is don't ever use your high beams or flash your high beams especially at night because this can cause temporary blindness in them. Their side mirrors are no joke so when we flash them it can go right in their eye sometimes and that can be really dangerous and also they said that's another peeve if you've got a truck pulling a camper make sure that you're level because if you're not and your back end is going down your headlights your regular headlights at night can be going right up into their side mirrors and that creates a dangerous situation for all of us.   One guy said if you want to be in the herd that's okay but anything can happen in the herd so give yourself lots of distance. Now I couldn't get an exact number and you know this is subjective so we're all going to have a different idea of what a good distance is. So just remember in a car you have to give yourself one car length of distance for every 10 miles an hour you're going so if you're going 60 there should be six car lengths between you and the car in front of you. It's so much more with RVs and semis and one of their biggest fears is when somebody's riding their bumper because you never know what's going to happen up ahead. It's common for someone to blow a tire or for there to be an accident or an emergency vehicle and so you want to give yourself lots of distance to stop behind the guy in front of you and also between you and the guy behind you and then they're fine if you sit in the rocking chair which means you're in between the trucks and I understand that you can catch a draft there because remember that air wake where you're behind another truck and so you get better gas mileage. So thanks guys for telling us we can go in there if we leave you a lot of room. So thanks again to the truckers at truckerreport.com the link to that is below along with the link to last week's video where the truckers themselves tell us what we need to know to stay at truck stops so everybody can get a good night's sleep and we can all get back on the road safely.

Ukrainian drones are already targeting Moscow. An unmanned aerial vehicle has crash-landed near a gas-prom gas facility in the Kolomna region near Moscow. Governor Andrey Vorobyov reported, according to the official the unidentified drone came down near the village of Gubastov and appears to have been targeting civilian infrastructure but failed to cause any damage or casualties. The governor added that security services and other agencies are investigating the incident and that there is no danger to the population. Earlier media reports also stated that emergency services and bomb squads had been dispatched to the area. Gasprom has also confirmed the incident with the management of the Voskresensk gas compressor station telling Russian media that the drone fell near us but did not affect our operation at all. They added that the issue is currently under the jurisdiction of the Federal Security Service. Photos allegedly depicting the drone in question have started circulating on social media. However there has yet to be any official confirmation of the authenticity of these images. The news comes after Russia's Defense Ministry reported that Kiev attempted to use drones to attack civilian infrastructure in the southern region of Krasnodar and the Republic of Adige. It's noteworthy that the UAVs were suppressed by the electronic warfare units of the Russian armed forces. According to the ministry both drones lost control and deviated from their flight paths failing to cause damage to any civilian infrastructure facilities.


My name is Shirley Tsé, and I want to share with you the thinking process of incorporating free printing in my sculptural installation, Negotiate the Differences 2019-2020, a case study presented by M-plus Hong Kong for this conference. I will now share screen with you a PowerPoint. First of all, I want to take the opportunity to thank the organizer for including me, the artist's viewpoint in this discussion, and a big shout out to M-plus for embracing experimental and innovative approaches. When it comes to free printing, I will begin by saying my work is driven by concept rather than techniques. The use of free printing was motivated by the idea of bringing differences together, such as between the analog and the digital, between old technology and newer technology, between handmade and ready-made, between the unique and the reproducible. In a 2016 solo exhibition title, Lift Me Up So I Can See Better, I was making a grip of a sculpture using as many different kinds of wire as possible. Physical wire, steel wire, copper wire, coated steel wire, and I thought, what's next? What other wire can I use? What about wire mesh object as in digital space? I was amused by the digital terminology wire mesh object. How scumorphism is dependent on its analog counterpart. I began teaching myself how to 3D print from preparing a STL file to making G-codes with various print settings to experimenting with different kind of filament. This one was printed in KLA and also experimented with printing wood and metal filament in this installation negotiated differences. Negotiated differences brought together old technology, which is wood turning in the wood spindle part, and new technology, which is 3D printing, which is the connection part, and the functional and the non-functional original and found object. Here's another view of the installation. In this detail, the wood spindle may look like a variety of different functional objects. They might look like readymade, as if I've been going around and collecting table legs and whatnot. But they're not. All the wood spindle you see here are actually hand carved from wood blanks into spindle using a lathe. And now they look functional, but they're not. For example, you see some bowling pins here. They were made according to the specification of real bowling pin. They are in different scale, but the big ones are the actual bowling pin scale. But because I need to connect all the spindles together in the installation, the logic of the piece is that I need to make extra wood at both ends of the spindle for them to be connected. So you can imagine these bowling pins with the ends on the bottom, they would never be able to stand flat on the ground and function as bowling pins. And then now the connectors module, which you can see a number of them, these are metal. And that's wood. This is wood and so far. And this one is copper's metal metal. And they look like they were designed by me as a regional design, but they're not. They are actually 3D printed from open source file available to everyone on the internet to download and customize and modify. Indeed, they come from this file by Captain Blind on this site, Thingiverse, which is one of the bigger 3D printing community online. And this file is under a kind of Creative Commons license that allow everyone to download for free and use them freely as long as you attribute to the maker of the file. And in this community, I see a lot of file available. And for everyone to download and use. And a lot of them are gadgets such as hardware for a bookshelf or play structure, you know, the hardware for putting a play structure together. And now. And they are a lot of them are again under this, you know, Creative Commons license that you're free to download and use it. And in my mind, these objects slash file existed in cyberspace. So they are they're ready made. They are the this cyber object is the 21st century ready made. You know, these objects existed in cyberspace. And all you need to do is to get a 3D printer and actualize them. To me, someone who were using a lot of ready made in my sculpture in the past, this is a very exciting concept to think about these objects that existed in cyberspace. And they are the 21st century ready made to me. And now back to the bowling pin cluster. You can see that the connectors. I printed them in, you know, with different numbers of openings. So there's a lot of possibility for the pieces to be connected. So they are functional. They function to connect the wooden spindle together. But on the other hand, they are also aesthetic. Because not all the opening of being utilized. And that is totally on purpose that I want to have a lot of opening that is unattached to suggest an aesthetic of possibility. So now this is the installation shot of the installation being installed in a different venue. Instead of Italy, this time is at the N plus Pavilion in Hong Kong. And each time the piece is installed in a different place, the configuration changes. And the way that it's put together is mostly by improvisation. So there's not a fixed form to it. And by the same token, the sort of changing and variation and flexibility also apply to the connecting module. It's not important to get the same print every time from the same file. Indeed, differences and variation are the key idea. Even with the same file, I would adjust the setting of filament in each print. So, for example, in this detail, you can see that the bracket I used for in order for the piece to engage with the architecture of the ceiling of the N plus Pavilion. I used the same file of the bracket. But in this case, this one is printed in PLA plastic. This one was printed in wood filament. This one is also printed in wood filament. But this time, three different kinds of wood filament sandwiched together. So in a way, you can say that each 3D print in this work is unique. But to me, the idea of a single file yielding, generating variation is more important. Now, the concept of public domain is another overarching notion for negotiated differences. While I was developing the piece for the exhibition title Stakeholder in Venice, as well as the stakes and holder, a slightly different title for the exhibition at N plus Pavilion in Hong Kong. And as I mentioned with the file I get from the internet that I was able to download and freely use, having the Creative Commons license. And the Creative Commons really cultivated a community where people are sharing their creativity. And it challenges the idea of ownership and private property to which Stakeholder theory is also calling attention to. And now this idea of using it freely, also being called Copy Left. And I really like this logo for Copy Left. The C, instead of pointing to the right hand side, is pointing to the left hand side. It's Copy Left. And now this is an image of a 3D printer connector that is so-called misprint. So instead of the print following the specified coordinate, it's shifted at the middle of the print. It's shifted to the right, the bottom part. This is the top part. And the bottom part kind of shifted. Whoops, go back. The bottom part kind of shifted. And I use it in the installation. I want to embrace interesting accident because that is part of the idea of having variation and differences and also the non predetermined. So, in other words, it's not the unique object I like to see preserved, but rather the idea of a Copy Left digital readymade that I like to see continuing in the future. Despite the possible obsolescence of earlier technology, I can actually stop share now. So what I mean is that so let's say in 10 years time, maybe even less, the 3D printer will be different. The kind of filament available will be different. And by that time, if we need to have a connector replace in the installation, I think it's really exciting to include that using the future technology. So I think it's very exciting to have future generations of these Copy Left digital readymade to be part of the work. So now in conclusion, in my view as an artist, I think the conservation. I see the conservation of contemporary art as concepts, rather than objects. So what is what need to be conserved is the concept rather than the object.


but they really need to raise their game here, I think, because this really goes to the heart of Joe Biden's greatest asset, arguably, which is trust. Maybe not for 30 to 40% of the American people, but for Democrats and independents. And that's really at stake. Oh yeah, that's pretty arguable. I mean, Joe Biden is one of the most prolific liars in all of Washington, marching in the civil rights movement, which was a lie, being shot at in Iraq, that his son died in Iraq, getting arrested, visiting Nelson Mandela, being a truck driver, claiming that he and his family were coal miners, claimed he worked for Boise Cascade, claimed that he was a professor, claimed that during the Israeli Six Day War, that he was a liaison, claimed he was a football star, claimed he had three degrees, claimed he attended an all black college, plagiarized speeches, essays, and policy positions. Joe Biden is easily one of the least trustworthy people in Washington.


Today is the day. I got my Aaron Condren order for 2018. Let's open this bad boy up. Got my handy dandy scissors and I haven't even sliced the side open yet. Ooh, I've got my tripod on full extension right now and I feel like it's gonna just fall over because I needed to get it so far away from the actual tripod legs because this box is just ginormous. All right, let's open this sucker up. Hold on, I gotta take the packing slip out. I don't need any more stockers. All right, let me turn you around a little bit. Oh, I almost hit that camera. There we go. All right, so there is, ooh, pretty watercolor. Being kind never goes out of style. Cute little postcard. That's cute.  All right, so I got a lot of things and yes, I will be doing a pen test, but today is going to be just an unboxing for you guys. So I got a really big box because I got a couple of different planners. Okay. And yes, I will also be doing a walkthrough of both of the planners on my channel. They're going to be two separate videos because they're two separate like layouts and stuff. So this is going to be my main planner for next year. I tend to really enjoy the 12 month planner from January one to December 31. So I'm not going to even start using this until January one. But of course, I had to buy it on launch day because you know, because this has like the little film that's removable. So yeah, I got the painted pedals and I did not get any personalization because I don't know. I just didn't. I didn't know what I wanted to order. Honestly, I wasn't really sure. And I was like, well, this is like what's happening this year. So let's just go for it. All right, so I'll just walk through it really, really quickly. And then we'll get into the rest of the goodies in the box because like I said, I'm going to do a totally dedicated video on this actual planner and my other planner too. So you get the little pouch with all the accoutrements in there. And then you got the pretty vellum page. To me, this kind of looks like Dalmatian spots. I don't know. So I decided to go with the colorful this year and I will walk through like the differences in that other video. Wow, this paper does feel different. I know a lot of people have been talking about the paper quality and like how thick it feels and how like, oh, this is sad. It's all like jacked in the corner there. Oh well, that's fine. That's fine. Nothing to be upset about. I like how the thankful thought is missing. You just like there's a little box. I like that a lot. Yeah, so anyway, this is my new planner for this year. And I understand what people are talking about with the paper. It does feel a lot better, which is good. For some reason, I felt like it was going to be like more smooth. I do like a little bit of grit to it though too. I'm gonna have to pen test it for you guys. But anyway, I got the colorful and I got the 12 month. I know that there are options now where you can get a 12 month from July to June, which I think is a nice option, especially if you have kids in school. And that's kind of like how your brain works for the year. But since I don't have any kids in school, my brain works from January to December.  Check these out. These are the new sticker pages, which are awesome because I will totally use these. I'll use these too because I use these on my normal daily basis at work. But yeah, and then there's a perpetual calendar. Yeah, there's always a perpetual calendar. I never use these, but whatever. I always end up throwing them in a rack or something. And then that is the planner. So this is my new planner. I'm very excited about it. So before I get started on the other things, I want to show you guys my other planner. This is going to be my YouTube planner for 2018. And I know I've kind of talked about my other YouTube planner. I've never really like shown it, but I will at some point on my channel probably towards more towards like the end of the year because I want to like fill it out and like show you what I'm doing. But essentially, I'm going to do like the same thing in this planner, but I got a really different planner, you guys. So it's still a colorful because I thought why not? And then still has the same pouch and whatnot. And I will go through this in a video as well. I got a vertical layout. I got a vertical. Okay. So I've been like kind of obsessively stocking Jennifer Crowder. I will put her Instagram below. You guys should all check her out. I have been so enjoying her going back to a vertical that I have been wanting to go back to a vertical as well. But I knew in my normal daily life, I just couldn't do it. I couldn't justify doing it because the headers make me upset and whatever. Like I just can't do it in my normal life. However, in my YouTube life, I think I could because I put in like when I edit, I put in when I film. I, you know, I don't use this as much because a lot of times I'm just doing stuff on the weekends or like editing on like a certain night or whatever. So I can justify it in here. So yeah, I am very, very excited to try this out again and see how I like it. But I am excited and kind of nervous to go back this way. But again, like I said, it's gonna be for YouTube. It has the same stuff in the back too. But again, I'll end up doing a walkthrough video on the vertical. I'm so excited. So here is all of the other things. Let me pull this stuff out and get this big box out of the way. And then we'll go into all of the things. All right. So the first thing is this designer paper tape. Let's take a look. I've been hearing things about it. Ooh, it's like interesting. All right, hold on. Hold on. It's like taped down with a piece of clear tape. All right. Let's put a piece of washi in here. I want to put it like right here. How's that? All right. Let's zoom in because I want to kind of like test this sucker out. All right. So here is the tape and that's called paper tape because it is like, it's like paper. It's not like that thin washi. It's actually kind of substantial. So I don't even know if this will cut properly like I would a regular washi. Let's test it out and see. And I was honestly, I was going to get like all three of these because I was like, oh, I want to check out all the new washes. But I wanted to test out the quality first because, you know, sometimes you end up buying something and you're like, oh, why did I do that? Ooh, this is satisfying. Okay. So it does fray a little bit at the end. Hold on. Let's let me zoom you all in. You can see up close and personal. Let's see if you guys can see. Can you see the fray? I hope you can see the frayed edge. It's slightly frayed, but honestly, for as thick as it is, I don't really mind that. I mean, honestly, you could obviously use a scissors, but that's not too bad. I thought it wouldn't even cut at all to be completely honest. But yeah, I like this. I think this is a cool thing. I might get some more, but I wanted to test out the, you know, one of them first just to see. I have had Aaron Condren washi in the past. And to be honest, it was not my favorite just because it just, it didn't come off the roll really well. And it just seemed like it wasn't very well made. I don't know.  Whoa, sorry. I hate to like bash things, but it's true. And that's why I like literally never used it. So I don't know. Now you know. But yeah, I'm excited. I think that looks nice. And it's like, it's like glossy. So you can't, it's not matte. I mean, you can still put stickers over it, but I wouldn't like write anything on it unless it was like with a permanent marker. But anyway, all right, let's get back into other things. All right, here is the Planny Pack. Oh, this is so cool. I got the one in linen, which has a silver band on the back. There was the, the black and then what's the, oh, and I had, there's the rose gold and wasn't there like the turquoise too? I don't know. Maybe there wasn't a turquoise. I don't know. I just thought this one looked nice and it was, you know, pretty clean looking. And I don't mind the silver and it's like really nicely lined on the inside. I really like that. I like that. Okay, we're just going to use this as an example. You can just plop it over your cover or over the whole entire book too, but that would probably be a little bit tight. And then you can put in like stickers, you can put in washi, you can put in pencils and pens and just whatever you want to inside of there. You could even put like invitations or something like that.  And it's just right there. And it's not another like loose thing to hold on to. It's just like a really big planner band with a pocket, which is kind of neat. So I really like that. I think that's super cool. All right, this was one of the free gifts that you got for ordering on launch day. And I think it was like while supplies last or whatever, but it showed up like in your basket. So yeah, this was really cool. It's rose gold. Not my fave, but I understand the appeal. I get it. It's just not my favorite, but I'll use it anyway, because let's face it. Anything Aaron Conner makes, I will probably use at some point in my life. And I also got these. These are the sticky notes. These are the new ones for this year. I just wanted to see them and see the color. I'm not going to pull them out of the package because they're just they're just sticky notes you guys. Like I'm not super incredibly worried about it. So yeah, but I am excited about these and I do like this painted pedals. I like it better in the colorful. I don't know about the neutral. It looks like a Dalmatian to me. So it's just not my fave. I also got this designer sticker book, the edition three. So this is the new one for this season. You can walk through this real quick as well. All right, so it's all rose gold, my favorite. And it's all watercolored on the inside, which is very pretty. So yeah, this is all gold foil on this page, silver foil on this page and rose gold. But I do like how much more functional some of these sheets are. I mean, like this page, it's like all quotes for the most part. I mean, you can put some things in there and like right here. But you know, I'm not a huge fan of these like they're cute. Don't get me wrong, but like I just don't have that space in my planner, nor does it like usually pertain to my life.   You know what I'm saying? Pretty watercolors. I like the watercolors. I love the happy birthdays. Those are cute. So some gift tags, which are always nice to have, which by the way, like, I need to start putting these on gifts, even though I don't give a lot of gifts. I need, maybe I need to start giving more gifts. I don't know. But I never really give a lot of things, but it's mostly like gift cards and cash because it's always like weddings and stuff. I don't know. I never know what to buy. I just go off the registry. And then if I can't find anything that is like in a box and easy to wrap, I just give cash because cash is great. All right. So here is some just like little flags and it has like little foil sayings on it. These are really cute. I really, really like these little flags. Those are nice. And then some washi strips. I love a good washi strip. Ooh, then we got some silver washi strips. We got some icons. And that is it for the designer sticker book classic collection three. Very cute. I really like those. I also got a whole bunch of these. These are the plan for it pouch. I got it in the mid-century circle version. I am doing an organizational project with these. So this is like a to be determined kind of a situation. I'm not going to tell you too much about it. I've mentioned an organizational project on my videos before. If you can figure it out, let me know in the comments. Haha. Also, I got a carry all clutch. I got these like cute little water drop blit brain bow things watercolor. I don't know what they're called. I did not get it personalized. But again, this is part of my organizational product. So not product. This is part of my organizational project.  That is going to be to be determined as well, but these are on the website. Well, goodness, I am missing something. Hmm. In my order, I was supposed to receive a hardbound notebook in turquoise and I never received it. So that's kind of a bummer. I will have to email them and ask them where that is. So it was just a promotional thing. So maybe they ran out. I don't know. But again, it was already in my cart when I checked out. So I think they were only giving it to like the certain amount of people until they were like out of stock in it. So I don't know. But I'll send them an email. Aaron Condon customer service is usually really good about those kind of things. So that is going to be it for my Aaron Condon 2018 haul.

But it's great to just even try out like a sheet of stickers or like a little sticker book or something like that too. If you're not 100% sure if you want to go with a planner yet and I totally understand. Sometimes you just want to try out like a couple of things first just to make sure you like it. Oh, I forgot to put my designer tape in here. Oopsie. Maybe I'll put that right there for you. Got to create a good thumbnail for you guys. So anyway, that is going to be it for me. Thank you guys so much for hanging out with me for a little party good day. I will be listing all the items down below. Again, that link that's an affiliate link will take you directly to the Aaron Condon website if you would like to check it out. Also, I know I've said this like 5 million times already, but I will be doing a walkthrough of both of these planners and I will be showing my organizational product, why do I say product? Sorry, I have a cold and it's just not going well for me today. Project, my organizational project when I actually complete it. So I will show you guys what all of that is about very, very soon on my channel. So I am going to jet. Thank you guys so much for hanging out with me for a little part of your day. It means so much.  I like my lurkers. That just means that you're going to see my videos every time they pop up and I do upload every Monday, Wednesday and Friday with new content for you guys. So thanks so much for watching. I'll see you guys later. Bye.


This space is kind of partitioned into different silos where you have a fixed desk and a common area for people that come into work. There are different brands here, different companies from different parts of Nigeria, different parts of the world. The subscription video on demand and then we have all types of content. So Hollywood, Hollywood and of course, Nollywood content and then we also create content. Fantastic. So if you wanted to subscribe, you would be there. We have free vouchers. We have vouchers for subscribers. Okay, okay. What do you guys do? My name is Joko and I have a line of accessories called Joko Joko. So right now I'm working on making another good school with them and they're made in Nigeria. But this space is fantastic because I'm able to do my administrative work here and then I can get the actual work done. So we have a factory somewhere where you make your stuff. Okay. Who guys really are? I never knew that young people were that aggressive making money and all of that. You guys obviously took me different, cut from a different model of them. Thank you.


Item number SCP-1718 Object Class Euclid Special Containment Procedures Experimental Containment Unit 6852 shall be provided additional power and coolant as necessary to prevent breach. A 2 megawatt power plant is currently under construction on site to be dedicated solely to the ECU-6852 and is projected to be adequate for another 10 years. ECU-6852 is composed of four elements, the core, the gyroscope, the bath, and the superstructure. The central element of the core is a seamless spherical shell of an aluminum █████ 12mm thick, a radius of 1.63m. This shell was centrifugally cast around a robotic tool which annealed and paused the interior surface to a reflectivity of 2017GAU before itself deposing via ██████, which also evacuated the interior atmosphere to 0.5 picopascals, calculated indirectly from the contraction of the aluminum shell under external pressure. Gloss Units Surrounding the alloy shell is a buffer of 654 concentric graphing shells, each one atom thick. In this configuration, it provides the highest tensile strength of any manufactured material to date and acts as a perfect rotational bearing, allowing the innermost sphere to remain at rest or to rotate about any axis, at any speed, independent of the gyroscope. The core is enclosed within the gyroscope. A shallow ultra-polished pucillica, 2cm thick, weighing 60.5kg, assembled from two hemispheres and plated on its interior surface with 7nm of niobium. The gyro is hydrodynamically suspended in a superfluid helium-4 bath at 1.95K and rotates in a plane parallel to the surface of the Earth, clockwise as viewed from above. At this temperature, the niobium is superconducting as it rotates it induces a magnetic field. The bath is housed and circulated within the superstructure, a cylindrical doer of depleted uranium with ██████ magnetic drives, mag drives, for accelerating and breaking the gyro. A separate insulated reservoir, plumbing, instrumentation, and controls to provide circulation of 2.5ML of total coolant. Authorized personnel may refer to document ECU-6852-S, volumes 2-4 for complete schematics. The hyperreflective surface of the innermost shell suppresses incident radiation across the wide frequency range via ██████ interference. Previous research demonstrates that quantum defects throughout the graphene lattices within the core occur naturally and self-repair spontaneously within the gyroscope's magnetic field. Calculation suggests the graphene shells can be treated as a composite material in a metastable state with a mean of 10⁵³ plus-minus 10⁶³ defects at its current temperature and pressure. At 70 Kelvin, comparable graphene samples were strong enough to contain sustained pressure of 18 MPa and impulses of 4.2 gigapascals per millisecond. As the temperature is reduced, the strength increases exponentially. During the design phase, the containment unit was projected to consume 13.75 kW to maintain systems in a standby state between breach attempts by any SCP within. When active, the bulk of the energy expended by an attempt to breach containment from within will be subsumed by the vacuum, uncertainty resulting from the tremendous London moment of the superconducting field. The remaining fraction will be converted to heat in the helium bath. For an arbitrary impulse of energy, this conversion occurs on the order of 100 picoseconds. The resilience of the containment device is limited only by the attainable flow rate, which is maintained automatically, and the size of the coolant reservoir. So long as the helium remains in the superfluid state, maximum flow rate is far superior to that of any cryogenic coolants. Below 2.17 Kelvin The prototype is rated up to 100 kW of power consumption and has 10 times the coolant necessary for operation of maximum power. In a worst-case scenario, using all the coolant and power resources reasonably available to the Foundation, the device is theoretically capable of containing plasma on the order of FTP, and physical force is approaching 50% of the transverse-sacre inversion limit. 10 to the negative 15th power times the Planck temperature, or around 10 to the 17th power Kelvin. As a baseline, based on metrics taken from its current containment procedures and history of breaches, indefinite containment of an entity comparable to SCP-076 will require around 17 kW at most. As the device was designed as a proof-of-concept prototype, no particular attention was paid to how an SCP would actually be placed into the core. It was assumed this could be engineered into a later version of the device. Description SCP-1718 is an energetic anomaly that arose during a project managed by the ECRG to explore the limits of containment science. The Experimental Containment Research Group Project Timeline From January to October 2009, ECRG conducted computational simulation, sample fabrication, and prototype elements of the device. Date Event December 2, 2009 ECRG submits Proposal 6852 and ██ Containment System to the O5 Research Subcommittee, Doctors Andrews and Headley, Principal Investigators. February 23, 2010 Proposal 6852 is approved and funded. March 15, 2010 Construction of the core begins in May 22, at Site-06. May 2010 Project Timeline is accelerated by three months when ionic sonication techniques for the deposition of graphing are mastered ahead of schedule, allowing for the addition of a new layer every four hours. November 7, 2010 The gyroscope is assembled at 111 Kelvin. It is cooled to 77 Kelvin over the next 33 days. February 2, 2011 Construction is halted for three weeks due to an industrial accident while cast in the DU doer, or a staffer killed, including Dr. Headley. August 5, 2011 The superstructure is complete. The gyro is assembled into the doer, using liquid nitrogen at 76 Kelvin as the initial coolant. September 1, 2011 Coolant temperature 65 degrees Kelvin Hydrodynamic rotation of the gyroscope initiated at 0.3 RPM October 31, 2011 Coolant at 9.3 Kelvin Rotation 52 RPM Niobium makes superconducting transition, and the core becomes impervious to most sensors. January 2, 2012 Coolant at 8 Kelvin Rotation 72 RPM The mag drives are first engaged to assist hydrodynamic acceleration of the gyro. February 6, 2012 Coolant at 7 Kelvin Rotation 104 RPM A significant seismic event in the vicinity of Site-12 causes the rupture of a separate system condensing helium-4 for future use. One assistant researcher is killed, two staff are seriously injured. The gyro is stable throughout the event and its aftershocks. May 17, 2012 Core rotation 112 RPM Temperature stabilized at 5.2 Kelvin, while staff initiates a replacement of nitrogen coolant with helium-4. October 18, 2012 Helium-4 at sufficient purity to resume cooling, 115 RPM January 3, 2013 Helium-4 reaches 2.17 Kelvin and transitions to a frictionless superfluid state. As predicted, hydrodynamic acceleration no longer functions. Once the bath became superfluid, the mag drives were used to accelerate the gyro over 24 hours to the target 150,000 RPM. The process completed 57 minutes earlier than predicted, but otherwise without incident. The coolant temperature was further reduced to 1.6 Kelvin to provide a safety margin. At this rate of rotation, relativistic effects cause a special case of the dynamical system air effect to arise between the opposing points of the niobium shell, bombarding the core with ██████ per design, completing the containment protocol. Instrumentation evidence power, temperature, and gyroscopic stability at least two orders of magnitude better than its design tolerance, near or beyond the sensitivity of most of the instrumentation. On February 1, in the wake of an unrelated cognitive hazard event, Dr. Andrews was administered a class B amnestic to save his life. He necessarily lost about five years of memories, including all knowledge of Project 6852. Though quickly re-emerged in the project documentation and retrained by its former subordinates, he recovered no particular proficiency for the science and engineering techniques he previously pioneered. He expressed profound disbelief of the possibility of several key components of the design of the containment system. In the original project plan, the ECU was scheduled to burn in for ninety days. In light of the fact that the research team had effectively lost both of its principal investigators, the containment tests were deemed successful, and deactivation of the device was initiated early, on February 8, after thirty-five days of nominal operation. The plan called for a five-day mag drive spin-down at constant temperature to 0.3 RPM at 1.6 Kelvin, followed by a four-month warm-up to 77 Kelvin, whereupon the core would be dismantled and inspected for stress and spallation defects. Seven hours after the mag drives were reversed, no significant slowing of the gyro could be detected. A diagnostic test of the squids that monitored rotation revealed a calibration drift had occurred, and suggested that the gyro was likely spinning far faster than expected. In its first insight since amnestic treatment, Dr. Andrews theorized that the Corleolis effect, neglected in the original design analysis, had been freely accelerated into a frictionless gyro for over a month. However, there was significant disagreements between the research assistants as to whether or not this was a sound application of basic physics. If true, points along the surface of the gyro were calculated to have a speed approaching 0.1C. At the direction of the O5 research subcommittee, the strength of the mag drives were eventually increased a hundred-fold in an attempt to slow rotation. After 55 hours of continuous braking, the recalibrated squids were able to detect the rotation speed slowing through 352,000 rpm. Seventeen hours later, as the rotation speed slowed to 153,000 rpm, close to the original design speed, an unexpected and unexplained blow of heat into the helium-4 bath was detected. Automated systems compensated as intended, increasing total power draw, neglecting the magnetic drives from 13.74 kW to 14.15 kW, and preventing any rise in temperature. The strength of the mag drives was immediately reduced to originally planned levels. Over the course of the next hour, as the magnetic drives slowed the gyroscope to 152,000 rpm, slightly above the original target rate, power draw climbed to 14.89 kW. Though small, the 1.15 kW difference in draw power theoretically corresponds to a sustained explosive force of over a kiloton of TNT within the core. In an abundance of caution, the mag drives were adjusted to hold the rotation rate steady at 152,000 rpm, in order to allow further study without risking breach. Since then, the power necessary for stabilization has continued to climb at about 500 watts per day. If the design theory is correct, the current level of power draw implies forces or temperature within the core equivalent to 0.7 megatons of continuous explosive force. Form A, ECRG Proposal 6987, a 1.10 scale research model of ECU-6852, is attached. Doctors Andrew and Smink, principal investigators. Addendum B, Proposal 6987 is hereby rejected. Regarding the prototype, the Foundation will do what it's best at. ECU-6852 is hereby designated SCP-1718. First move on, gentlemen. O5 Research Subcommittee.


Our last video showed you when to use commas, but it's also important to know when not to use them. The simplest answer is, you probably don't need any commas outside of the situations we've already described. They're unnecessary, and throwing them into a sentence might cause readers to stumble, like throwing a branch into the trail where nobody's expecting it. Let's look closer at some places that don't need commas. As we discussed in the last video, you use commas to separate items in a list, but there are a few situations when we leave them out. The first is when we use conjunctions in their place. Rock and tree and potato. No commas need it. The ands do their work. The second is when we list items vertically or in bullet points. Rock, tree, potato. No commas need it. The page breaks do their work. And the last is when we leave out the Oxford comma, which is the final serial comma, the one after tree in rock, tree, and potato. We'll discuss why in the next video. There are also situations when you don't need commas for parentheticals. Commas are actually one of three ways that we can separate parenthetical information from the rest of the sentence. The other two, parentheses and dashes, can take the place of the commas. We use parentheses to signal that information is less important than the main sentence. We use dashes for more emphasis, more importance. We use commas for neutral emphasis or equal importance. When a parenthetical occurs at the end of a sentence, however, we don't need the second comma. The first comma acts like the opening parenthesis and the period takes the place of the closing parenthesis. We would never put a second comma right next to a period. It's not necessary, and it just looks weird. As for clauses, you might remember that you need a comma only when you shove something into the sentence before an independent clause. If you shove it in after an independent clause, on the other hand, you probably won't need one. That's true for phrases. From a distance comma, this rock looks like a head. But this rock looks like a head from a distance, no comma when the independent clause comes first. And it's true for dependent clauses. When it gets startled comma, the tree jumps into the canopy. But the tree jumps into the canopy when it gets startled, no comma when the independent clause comes first. Nor do you ever need a comma inside an independent clause. Not between the subject and predicate, the tree swallows no comma after tree. And not between the predicating verb and the direct object, the tree swallows offends no comma after swallows. The exception, of course, is when you're using serial commas or parenthetical commas. The tree chews, swallows, and digests offends. The tree, needing more iron, swallows. The only other exceptions are maybe numbers and quotations, which are special situations. But even then, the comma serves the same role it has for more than half a millennium. To separate certain elements within a sentence. Just make sure not to separate the things that deserve to stay together.


I have got the easiest appetizer for you tonight. This is going to be my go-to appetizer recipe for the holiday season. You do need to have a few things in your pantry or in your refrigerator though, in order to make this happen. You need a jar of roasted red peppers. You need some olives, just your favorite olives that have already been pitted, and some sun-dried tomatoes that are in oil. Artichoke hearts, your favorite seasoning. I've got one that's a mix of lots of basil and oregano, a little bit of garlic, and a little bit of thyme, that's what I'm using. But whatever your favorite, no salt seasoning is. And a little bit of salt and pepper, have some olive oil on hand, and I think that's it. So I'll show you what to do, it's so easy. Pre-heat your oven to 350 degrees before it's time for your guests to arrive. I chopped up some artichoke hearts and already put them in a shallow glass baking dish. This is oven safe. Then I'm going to add some olives. Now you can make as much as you want or as little as you want to suit your crowd. And then I've also chopped, coarsely chopped, some of the roasted red pepper. And I've coarsely chopped some sun-dried tomatoes. I'm gonna put those in my dish. And then I'll stir it up a little bit. And I'll drizzle it with a little bit of olive oil, and I'm also going to put some salt and pepper on it. And of course, my seasoning, here's a little bit of salt. And then be generous with your seasoning because this is gonna give it great flavor. Stir it up one more time. Now if you are not going to have anyone who's dairy-free in your group, top it with some feta cheese.  And it's ready to pop into the oven, 350 degrees, just long enough so that it heats through. If you have some feta cheese on the top, it'll get a little bit melty. And then bring it out, put it on a platter with some big chunks of chewy bread and boom, you've got an easy appetizer for the holidays. I'm Sue Dodin sharing good food for good life 365.
