Thanks again for the fill up next is certified


Yo, bro, with all these movies about street racing, now they'd be about nuclear submarines? Hey guys, this is my review for Fate of the Furious, our otherwise fast eight. The series that just keeps on trucking, even though the seriousness and the realism and just anything sort of in the realm of believability is completely implausible by now. This movie was about street racing and truck hijacking. This one is about preventing World War 3.  The movie starts pretty quickly, actually.   These aren't movies anymore. These aren't characters. These are literally moving objects crashing into everything they can until they get to the end of the movie. This series doesn't have any sort of, it doesn't have a soul anymore. It's funny. It's entertaining. But there's no purpose. There literally is nothing to this film besides absolute mindless popcorn action. And I'm not saying I didn't have a good time. I enjoyed myself. The quips between The Rock and Jason Statham were hysterical. The team was kind of there, but really this was Statham and The Rock and Vin Diesel.  I will admit I knew what the whole situation with Dom was going to be. It's a bit different from what I expected, which I was happy about. It's kind of a very simplistic sort of situation.  There's actual hacking battles at one point.  But it's so mindless. It is literally a train crashing into cars and smashing its way through until it eventually runs out of steam. And that's how this movie proceeds. Very much like how the last one did. The last one had zero purpose to it because it's just so ridiculous of what the goal is that you don't care. You're just there watching it and being like, yep, whatever. It's just really win one year and out the other. The action sequences are cool, except for the fact that they just go way over the top of the CG. The thing that I enjoyed about, well not four, I didn't like four, but five and some of six is they did have ridiculous car setups. Yeah, there was CG using them, but it was an even amount.  There's so many sequences, even street racing sequences.  This is just beyond the point of anything. This is mindless action. The rock is able to punch three people so hard that they fly against a wall. He's basically a superhero. He takes rubber bullets like they're freaking pebbles being thrown at him. This is a negative. This is just the fact that you can't take this series seriously anymore. Not saying that you could in the first place, but what this series used to be as opposed to what it is now is a complete parody of itself.  This is a decent action series. I'm not going to deny that, but it's not. It's just basically action movies with cars and ridiculousness and Vin Diesel mumbling stuff. Fate of the Furious is a fun time, but literally it will just go straight through your ear and wow the other. It is exactly as ridiculous and kind of as pointless as the last three have been, really. So in the end, I'm going to give the Fate of the Furious a four out of seven.  I can't believe that actually happened, but I somehow enjoyed all that garbage. There are some funny moments, especially with Jason Satham and a baby. That was actually really funny, but I don't know, I wouldn't care if this series ended. You know, it's going to make money. They're going to make more. They're going to eventually go into space. They're eventually going to go to Mars. They're eventually going to jump dimensions and whatnot, but I don't know. I don't know how they're going to top this.  They actually, you know, tried to prevent that. It's maybe they might be a post-apocalyptic one. That would be interesting.


Hey everybody it's Sam at Mixed Up Craft. Thank you for watching my tutorial today. So I've got another scrap hit video. So this one is just this tile effect using scraps. So the blue was scraps and the pattern paper is from the Circus collection and I've just got this thank you sentiment Which I'll show you in a moment. So this one I made during a Facebook live and I've done the 12 blue squares and the 12 pattern squares, but the blue squares I've done as one and a quarter square on here. You can see there's quite a small kind of red gap between. But for today's I'm going to do the blue square as one and one-eighth of an inch squared Just so I've got a slightly bigger gap so I can see between the two which one I prefer. So I went ahead and cut 12 pieces of gold and those are one and one-eighth of an inch squared. And then I've cut or punched in my case because I have a one inch punch all of the ones in the pattern paper And that's using this one inch punch here. It's an old one from Stamping Up. They still sell them. They're really handy. I always say to people when they ask like kind of essential pieces to have in their craft room I do say get yourself some of the basic shapes in punches because it just can speed up things when you're crafting. So I have I think I've got the one inch and I've got a one and a quarter No, it's one and a half. Sorry. And then a two the circles. I've got them in more increments I think I've got like one inch and one and a quarter one and a half one and three quarters two two and a half Yeah, so I've got quite a few of those and they're by different companies because not all companies do them in all of those Increments so you might find that you have a one inch from one company and then another company does a one and a quarter inch So as long as they you know, they do the job, but punches are great So yeah, if you can get your hands on them and you can pick them up They're very cheap in places like hobby craft and on your UK kind of why say UK But you're your selling sites or eBay Amazon places like that people sell them. So That's what I've used. But of course, you can just use a trimmer You could also just kind of pencil out your grid on your scraps and then cut it with scissors So there's a few ways to do that. So I've got here my six by six card blank And then I've got this piece which is five and three-quarters squared Which is just going to go over the top, but I'm going to just work on this piece first of all So I've put some foam pads on the back. So I'm going to have four along the top I'm going to have a gap and then I'm going to have the rest along the bottom Okay, so it's gonna be something like that and then I've got the patterns Which are going to go over the top and again, I've put those on a little foam square Because it's obviously quite a flat card. I like to just have that Dimension there. So I will do all that, you know better in a moment But just so you can kind of see the layout I always like to kind of plan things out first and lay it all down. You might want to have Squares over everything and just have a little sentiment down here. You might want to have All of all of the kind of 12 squares at the top and then the sentiment along the bottom That we could try something a little bit different like that. We don't have to have them Maybe I could do I quite like the thought of having the sentiment at the top on this one So maybe I'll do that Might as well do something a little bit different and then this is going to go here Now this one here is from the bright rows of sentiment words Now when I this one is half price and it's I love all of the word sets from this collection Lots of them are sold out now But this one is still available and it's got the thank you the hello Which I've used on many tutorials and you've also got thanking you but then you have all these bubble words with The shadow and you've got happy. No, sorry, lovely. So you can have hello. Lovely. You've got always so thinking of you always and And then you've got you so you could have hello you You could have Lovely you you know, there's so many ways to do this and then that one there is that one's many So you've got lots of different ways, you know to put them together meet your your own kind of little sentences up and stuff So I've gone ahead and already cut it using some fun foam so you can see there Just you can get this or foam I say fun foam because that's how it's kind of worded on a lot of the packs But it's very inexpensive a couple of pounds and you get quite a lot And you usually find it in the kids sections in your arts and craft stores and stuff But that's going to go in this case now on the top And then I'm going to cut it again just in white cardstock to stick on the top So I'm just going to run that one through my machine. I've just put some tape Just so I've got that perfect frame because you can cut it If you didn't use the frame you can cut these actually into the cardstock And that's what I done with the inside out card So if you haven't seen that and you'd like to see the effect that these dies will give you That one says happy birthday because that's from a different set But you'll see how it cuts actually into the cardstock. It looks really nice Okay, so you can see there that's cut nicely and that's going to stick over the top of that So I'm going to go and get this all stuck down Okay, so here is the finished card. I just love the way that gold catches the light It just frames the pattern paper All made from scraps, you know, you can make such wonderful cards just with your scraps So I really like it. I think they both look great So you can go, you know, either go for the one and a quarter And you just get a thinner frame or with this one here You can see if you do the one and one eighth you get that thicker frame I like the thank you at the top on this one, but I also like it, you know, on that kind of second row You could have it on the third and you could have it at the bottom And obviously a lot of you will have different sentiments anyway So I always look forward to seeing how you will put yours together But I think this one's turned out really great So thank you for watching again next Monday or every Monday will be the scrap it video So if you'd like to use your scraps and you'd like to make those kind of cards and then tune in If you haven't subscribed, just hit my face just here And then you'll get notification every time I upload a video And there should be the two other scrap it videos popping up now as well So thanks for watching and I'll be back again very soon. Bye


Live from Las Vegas, it's theCUBE! Covering AWS re-invent 2019. Brought to you by Amazon Web Services and Intel, along with its ecosystem partners. Good morning, welcome back to theCUBE. Lisa Martin live at AWS re-invent. Day two of theCUBE's coverage, I'm with Stu Miniman. Stu and I are pleased to welcome a couple of guests from our world from Dell EMC. To my immediate left is Joe Caradona, the VP of Engineering Technology. Welcome to theCUBE. Good to be here. And then one of our alumni, we've got Bob Galey, Senior Consultant Cloud Product Marketing. Welcome back. Thank you, glad to be here. So guys, here we are at AWS re-invent with 60 plus thousand people all over the strip here. Joe. We know Dell, technology is Dell EMC. Wow, big friends of theCUBE. Joe? Dell? AWS? Yeah. What's going on? We're here. Apparently cloud is a thing. I've heard that. I think I've seen a sticker. Yeah, you've seen a sticker. Over the last year, we've been busy rolling out new cloud services. I mean, look around, right? It's important to our customers, right? That we can deliver hybrid cloud solutions to them that are meaningful to them and to help them get their workloads to the cloud. And be able to migrate and move between clouds and data center. Joe, maybe expand a little on this. So we watched when VMware made the partnership announcement with AWS a couple of years ago. It sent ripples through the industry. And VMware has had a large presence at this show. We've seen a lot of announcements in movement with Dell, Dell Technologies, Dell EMC over the last year or more. But Dell, this is the first year that Dell's actually exhibiting here. So help explain for audience a little bit that dynamic with leveraging VMware and also what Dell is bringing to this ecosystem. Yeah, sure. I mean, the way we think about it is it's really a multi-level stack. You have the application layer and you get the data layer. So applications with VMware, we're focusing on enabling applications, whether they're VMs or containerized now, right? They want to move those to the cloud, move them on-prem. Same is true for data. And data is actually the harder part of the problem, in my opinion, right? Because data has gravity. It's just big, it's hard to move, right? The principles of data in the cloud are the same as they are on-prem, where you still have to provide the high availability and the accessibility and the security and the capacity and scale in the cloud, as you would in the data center. And what we've been doing with our cloud storage services is bringing essentially our arrays as a service to the cloud. You talked about some of those changes and absolutely data is at the center of everything. We've been saying for a long time, you talk about digital transformation. The outcome of that is if you're not letting data drive your decisions, you really haven't been successful there. One of the biggest challenges beyond data is the applications. Customers have hundreds, if not thousands, of applications. They're building new ones, they're migrating, they're breaking them apart into microservices. Bob, help us understand where that intersects with what you're talking with customers about. Yeah, absolutely. So one of the reasons we're here is most organizations today are leveraging some public cloud services. And at the same time, most organizations have investment in on-prem infrastructure, right? I think we heard Andy say in the keynote yesterday, 97% of all enterprise IT spend is on-prem right now. So organizations are trying to figure out how to make those work together. And that's really what we're here to do is help organizations figure out how to make their big on-prem investment work well with their public cloud investment. And AWS is clearly the leader there in that space. And so we're here to work with our customers in order to help them really bridge that gap between public cloud and private cloud and make them work together well. And Bob, where does that conversation start? Because one of the other things that Andy talked about is that, you know, it's four essentials for transformation is it's got to start at the senior executive level strategic vision that's aggressively pushed down throughout the organization. Are you now having conversations at that CEO level for them to really include this value of data and apps as part of an overall business transformation? Yeah, definitely. If you think about it, it's all about people, process and technology. And technology is only a small part of it. And I think that's the important thing about what Andy was saying in the keynote yesterday is that it's about making sure that cloud as an operating model, not as a place, but as an operating model, gets adopted across your organization and that has to have senior leadership investment or in, yeah, they have to be vested in this move. But, you know, both from an applications and a data perspective. And on the technology side of things, I mean, you want to be able to give the developers the tools they need so they can develop those cloud native applications. So, you know, in the on-prem sphere, you know, we have ECS or Object Store, right? Kind of technology for bringing object to data center. We're plugging into Kubernetes every which way with VMware, right? We're developing CSI drivers across our storage portfolio to be able to plug into these Kubernetes environments and we're enabling for data and application migration across environments as well. Yeah, in many ways, Joe, we've seen there's a really disaggregation of how people build things. When I talk to the developer community, hybrid is the model that many of them are using but it used to be nice in the old days is I bought a box and it had all the feature checklists that I wanted, now I need to put together all these microservices. So, help us understand some of those services that you've provided. It's a little harder. I was at Andy Jassy said yesterday, these aren't your father's data requirements, right? And he's right about that because what's happening with data is it's sprawling, right? You have them in your data center, you have it in clouds, you have it in multiple clouds, you have it in SaaS portals, you have it on file services and block services and how do you wrap your arms around that? And especially when you start looking at use cases like data analytics and start thinking about data sets, how do you manage data sets? How do I maybe add my data born on-prem and I want to do my analytics in the cloud, how do I even wrap my hands around data sets? So, we have a product called Clarity Now that in fact does that. It indexes billions of files and objects across our storage, across our cloud services, across Amazon S3, across third-party NAS systems as well. And you can get a single pane of glass to see where your files and your objects reside. You can tag it, you can search upon it. You can create data sets based on search, on your tags and your metadata, to then operate on those data sets. So, the rules, data's being used in new and different ways. They need new ways to manage it and these are some of the solutions that we're bringing to market. You mentioned multi, multi-cloud, I wanted to chat about that. We know it's not a word that AWS likes. Can we say that here? Yeah. On the cube, absolutely. This is the cube, exactly. But the reality is, as we talk to and Stu knows this well, most CIOs say, we've inherited this mess of multi-cloud, often symptomatically, not as a strategic direction. Give us an overview of what Dell EMC and I'll ask you both the same question and Jill will start with you. How are you helping customers address whether they've inherited multi-cloud through M&A acquisition or developer choice? How do they really extract value from that data that they know there's business insights in here that can allow us to differentiate our business but we have all of this sprawl? What's the answer for that? Well, some of that is clarity now that I was talking about to be able to see your data because, I mean, half the battle is seeing your data. Right. Be able to see it. Also, with multi-cloud, whether they inherited it or if it was intentional or not, we're setting out all our solutions are multi-cloud. You can run them anywhere. But not only that, the twist to multi-cloud is, well, what if you made your data available to multiple-cloud simultaneously? Right. And why would you want to do that? I mean, one reason we want to go that path is, maybe you want to use the best services from each cloud but you don't want to move your data around because, again, it has gravity and it takes time and money and resources to do that. Through our cloud storage services, it's centralized and you can attach to whatever cloud you want. Right. So some of that is around taking advantage of that. Some of that is around data brokering. We heard Andy talk a little bit about that this morning where you may have data sets that you want to sell to your customers and they may be running in other clouds. Right. And then some of that is you may want to switch clouds due to the services they have, the economics or perhaps even the requirements of your applications. Yeah, and from an application perspective, for us, it's really about consistency, right? So we say it's consistency in two ways. Consistent infrastructure and consistent operations. And so when we talk about consistent infrastructure, we want to help organizations be able to take that virtual machine and move it where is the best place for it, right? So it's about right workload, right cloud. And we talk about application portfolio analysis and helping organizations figure out what is that set of applications that they have? What should they do with those applications? Which ones are right to move to cloud? Which ones should they not invest in and kind of let retire, right? And so that's another aspect of sort of that people in process thing that we talked about earlier, helping organizations look at that application portfolio and then take that consistent infrastructure, use that multiple clouds with that and then consistent operations, which is a single management control plane that can help you have consistency between the way you run your on-prem and the way you run your public cloud. And give them the freedom to choose the cloud they want for the workload they want. And is that at the data level where the differences between, so we'll say the public cloud fighters is most exposed? In turn, is it at the data layer where the differences in, we'll say AWS versus its competitors, is that where the differences between the features and the functionalities is most exposed? I think so. I think one place that we think that public cloud is weakened is file, right? File workloads. And one of the things we're trying to do is bring consistent file, whether it's on-prem or across the clouds, through with our cloud storage services in Isilon, and the scale and the throughput that those systems can provide, bringing consistent file services, whether it's NFS and SMB or even HDFS, right? Or the snapshotting capabilities. And as equally as important, that native replication capabilities across these environments. I wonder if we could talk a little bit about some of the organizational changes. The transformation was one of the key takeaways that Andy Jassy was talking about in his three hour keynote yesterday. We've watched for more than a decade now the role of IT compared to the business. And we know that it's not only does IT need to respond to the business, but that data discussion we had better be driving the business because if you're not leveraging your data, your competition definitely will. I want to get your opinion as to just kind of the positions of power and who you're talking to and what are some of the successful companies doing to help lead this type of change? I'll go. I think IT and business are coming together more. The lines are kind of blurring there. And IT's being stretched into new directions now. They have to serve customers with new demand. So, you know, whether it's managing storage arrays or servers or VMware environments, now they've been pushed into things like now managing analytics kind of environments, right? And all the tools associated with that, whether it's Cassandra or a TensorFlow, you know, be able to stretch it and be able to provide the kind of services that the business requires. Yeah, and up the stack too. Yeah, you know, when you talk about the fact that business and IT need to work together, it's kind of like obvious statement, right? What that really means is that there needs to be a way to help organizations get to responding more quickly to what the needs of the business are. It's about agility. It's about the ability to respond quickly. So, you know, you see organizations moving from waterfall process for development to agile and you see that being supported by cloud native architectures and organizations need to take and be able to do that in a way that preserves the investments that they have today. So, most organizations are on this journey from physical to virtual to infrastructure as a service to container as a service and beyond. And they don't want to throw away those investments that they have in existing virtualization and existing skill sets. And so, what we're really doing is helping organizations move to that place where they can adopt cloud native while bringing forward those investments they have in traditional infrastructure. And so, you know, we think that's helping organizations work better together both from a technology and a business perspective. And as far as the kind of people we talk to, I mean, data science is growing and growing. They're becoming data scientists and becoming more part of the conversation. CAO's as well, right? I mean, behind all this again is that data that we keep coming back to. They have to ensure the governance of that data, right? That it's being controlled and it's within compliance. So, we started off the conversation talking about that this was Dell's first year.  What do you want to really, you know, emphasize, give us the final takeaway as to how people should think about Dell technologies in the cloud ecosystem? Yeah, I think, you know, we know our customers want to be able to leverage the cloud. The kind of conversation we have with customers are more around how can I use the cloud to optimize, you know, my business. And that's going to vary on a workload by workload basis. We feel it's our job to arm the customer with the tools they need, right? To be able to, you know, have hybrid cloud architectures, to be able to have the freedom to run the applications where they want, consume infrastructure in the way they want it to be consumed, and we're there for them. Yeah, you know, I think it's really about a couple of things. One is trust and the other one is choice. So, if you think about it, you know, organizations need to move into this cloud world in a way that brings forward those investments that they've made. Dell EMC is the number one provider of hybrid conversion infrastructure, of servers, and we can help organizations understand that cloud operating model and how to bring the private cloud investments that they have today forward to work well with the public cloud investments that they're making clearly. So, it's really about trust and then choice of how they implement. Trust is a big deal, right? Absolutely. I mean, we're the number one storage vendor for a reason, right, our customers trust us with their data. Well, Joe Bob, thank you so much for joining Stu and me on theCUBE, sharing with us what you guys are doing, Dell, AWS. Thanks for having us. The trust and the choice that you're delivering to your customers. We'll see you at Dell Technologies World. We'll see you here next year. All right, you got it. All right, for our guests and for Stu Miniman, I'm Lisa Martin and you're watching theCUBE on day two of our coverage of AWS ReInvent 19. Thanks for watching.


So since I'm going to talk about the role of memory in cryptographic reductions I will start with a short introduction to reductions So usually when we constructed some cryptographic scheme, and we want to show that it is secure We use we rely on cryptographic reductions. So suppose we have some Hard problem P what we do is we show that given any Adversary breaking the security of our scheme can be turned into an algorithm Solving instances of our problem more precisely the algorithm we construct will run the adversary as a subroutine and Answer potential oracle queries of it and this in particularly Implies that the running time of our reduction will be at least the running time of the adversary and the same holds for the memory consumption Now the tightness of our reduction can be seen as some sort of measure of its quality what we usually do there is we compare the resources used by our algorithm to the resources resources used by the Adversary it runs as a subroutine and what we usually compare there are both running time and success probability and if both time and Success probability essentially stay the same. We say that the reduction is tight Now to see why The tightness of a reduction matters for giving concrete security guarantees We will look at the time success probability trade-off plot for our problem P Which might for example of something like this So we see we have two axes indicating success probability and running time of our algorithm and The plot is divided into two areas labeled as unbroken and broken now if a point lies somewhere in the area labeled as unbroken this means that according to current cryptanalytic knowledge there exists no Existing exists no algorithm, which is able to solve an instance of our problem in the corresponding time with at least The corresponding success probability Okay, so now suppose that we want out of the scheme We construct it to be secure against all adversaries satisfying some constraints on Running time and success probability by our reduction We know that we can turn this adversity Adversary into an algorithm solving instances of our problem P however, if The reductions non tight we might actually end up with an algorithm which runs in considerably Higher time and also succeeds with less probability So in this example here We see that we actually ended up with an algorithm in the area for which our problem is known to be broken So we can't conclude anything on the security of our scheme however, if Our reduction was tight the situation would look different In this case, we would see that given any adversary breaking the security of our scheme We would be able to construct an algorithm Which outperforms all the currently best known algorithms in solving our problem and this in this way We gain trust in the security of our scheme So as just discussed usually when talking about tightness we only consider running time and success probability however, if we if one talks to cryptanalysis They will probably tell you that actually memory is also a very important resource and actually the most expensive one So in our work, we consider the role of memory in cryptographic reductions And we conclude that indeed memory can be crucial when making concrete security statements We also investigate Start to investigate how to make reductions memory tight meaning how to obtain reductions essentially preserving the same memory requirements as the algorithms we started with and We do this by giving a couple of tools Which can be seen as a memory efficient replacement for typical non-memory efficient steps in reductions We use those in one concrete application namely giving a memory tight reduction for the RSA full domain hash signature scheme and Finally, we asked ourselves whether there also exist Reductions which cannot be both tight and memory tight and actually found some evidence pointing in that direction by proving some lower bounds So now let's look Why memory in reductions? Matters so for this we are going to look at time memory trade-offs So an important observation here is that For several problems which are relevant for crypto the best-known algorithms actually require high memory Or to phrase it differently We are some problems are harder to solve if less memory is available and this in particularly holds for several lattice or coding based problems And as we both see now this needs to be taken into account when Deriving concrete security statements and we will look at a concrete example. Namely the learning parity with noise problem So so far we have looked at time success trade-off plots Now when we add memory would we would actually have to look at a three-dimensional time success memory trade-off plot However to keep things simpler in two-dimensional I will only consider algorithms having a constant success probability So we will now look at trade-off plots in this plane. So, okay We see that the time memory trade-off plot again has two axes now the x-axis indicates the memory consumption of an algorithm. So now if a point lies in the area labeled as unbroken this means that According to current cryptanalytic knowledge, there are no algorithms known which are able to solve instances of LPM in the corresponding time And with a corresponding memory Now for LPN this time memory trade-off plot is essentially determined by two algorithms the first one being the Gauss algorithm Which we see here. So as we can see it's able to solve instances of LPM given enough running time But the memory essentially plays no role here Now the second algorithm would be the BKW algorithm We see it's able to solve instances of LPN in considerably faster time. However, this comes at the cost of some an increased memory consumption So overall the time memory trade-off plot for LPN looks something like that and Actually due to some recent results by Essay et al which will also be presented here at Crypto. It looks more like this So now again suppose we constructed some scheme S and we want to show And we want it to be secure against all adversaries satisfying some time and memory constraints Now an observation we can make is that even if our reduction is tight meaning that it preserves essentially the running time it might still not be memory tight and actually Have a way higher memory consumption Now we would end now again. We would end up with an Algorithm in the area for which LPN is known to be broken and we can't derive anything on the security of our scheme however, if the reduction would also additionally be memory tight meaning its Memory consumption would essentially be the same as the memory consumption of the underlying Adversary the situation looks different now. We see that from any algorithm breaking the security of our scheme We are able to construct an algorithm outperforming even the best currently known Algorithms in solving LPN and we gain trust in the security of our scheme So as we have just seen for some problems, which provide particularly good time memory trade-offs Memory can be crucial when making concrete security Statements so we call these problems memory sensitive and they for example include LPN has just seen the shortest vector problem or the problem of finding a collision of three points in a hash function and Also discrete logarithm over finite fields, for example however for other problems The best known algorithms Only require small memory. So in this case while still a memory tight reduction yields a stronger result, it's harder to measure its advantage and Well problems of this type for example could be to find a collision or a In the hash function and pre-image resistance and hash functions or solving the discrete logarithm problem over elliptic curves defined above prime fields Now I want to illustrate that indeed typical reductions often contain steps which Result in our algorithms having a higher memory consumption for this we're going to look at two examples The first one being the simulation of a random oracle So a random oracle is an idealization of a hash function and works as follows the Adversary has access to an oracle which it may query on points and as a in response It's going to get a uniformly distributed bit string. However, since we are modeling a hash function Curring the oracle on the same point several times will result in the same answer. So this is usually simulated in Reductions using lazy sampling And this is by keeping track of a list of query answer pairs So whenever the adversary queries its oracle for the oracle value on some point We check whether this value has already been defined and if not we would sample a fresh random bit string Store it and then return the answer and it's important to To note here that we really have to store the answers to our queries Since the adversary might query its oracle several times on the same point So in the worst case we could actually have an adversary which essentially does nothing but query It's a random oracle and in this case we would end up with a reduction Which has to provide Additional memory, which is of the order of the running time of the underlying adversary So the second example occurs when checking for freshness of Messages in the unforgeability game for signature schemes So here we have an adversary which has access to a signing oracle Which it may query on messages in order to obtain signatures on them And in the end of the game, it's going to output a forgery attempt consisting of a message and a Signature and it wins the game if the signature is valid on that message and what I want to concentrate on here If the message is fresh meaning it has not so far not been queried to the signing oracle And these checking for freshness is usually done by simply keeping track of all messages And queried to the signing oracle so again in this case we might end up with a reduction having to provide Significant additional memory So to give a short recap of what I have discussed so far so currently at least in most of theoretical work the memory consumption is often ignored in reductions and And also many existing reductions contain steps which result in the Constructed algorithms having highly increased memory consumption and this seems particularly problematic for Memory sensitive problems that is for problems which provide good time memory trade-offs So how can we achieve memory tightness to give some examples for that? We are going to revisit the examples from a minute ago So the first one was the simulation of a random oracle via lazy sampling where we had to keep track of a list of queries and answers to queries in order to be able to provide the adversary with a consistent simulation of the random oracle and Now this can be made memory efficient by using a pseudo random function This is actually something which was already noticed by Bernstein in 2011 but not formally analyzed So here what we would do is we would sample a key for a pseudo random function And then whenever the adversary queries its random oracle on some point We would derive the answer to this query deterministically using our pseudo random function so in this way we don't have to store the answer anymore to be able to provide the adversary with a consistent simulation and Yeah, it's quite easy to see that any adversary which is able to distinguish this simulation of a random oracle From a proper random oracle would be able to break the security of our pseudo random function So the second example occurred when checking for freshness of messages in the affordability game for signature schemes So here the adversary had access to a signing oracle and in the end output A forgery attempt consisting of a message in the signature and we wanted to check whether the Output message indeed was fresh So this can be made memory efficient in the following way. So the general idea here is to use the adversary itself as a memory so what we would do is We would still answer the signing queries in the usual way, but no longer store the corresponding messages and At the end of our reduction when the adversary outputs its forgery attempt We would store the message and then we bind the adversary meaning we would run it a second time providing it with the exact same random coins and also Answering all of its signature queries with the same answers If we do this The sequence of messages submitted by the adversary to the signing oracle will be the same So now whenever the adversary queries for a signature We could simply check whether this message Is actually the message it forges on So in doing this we only have to store one message however, this comes at the cost of potentially running the adversary twice and an important thing to note here is Since we want to rewind the adversary. We actually have to store all the coins provided To the adversary and used to derive Signatures, but this could be done in a memory efficient way again using a super random function So a final thing I want to talk about is lower bounds so Showing that for some reductions, it seems not possible to obtain Version of the reduction which is both tight and memory tight for this We're going to look at two versions of the unforgeability game for signature schemes The first one just being the usual unforgeability against chosen chosen message attacks For signature schemes so in this game the adversary has access to a public key and A signing oracle which it may query on messages in order to obtain signatures on them And in the end of the game, it's going to operate a forgery attempt Consisting of a message and a signature and it wins the game if the signature is indeed valid on this message And if the message is fresh meaning it has not been carried to the signing oracle so far Now the second game we're going to look at can be seen as a multi forgery attempt version of the first game so again The adversary has access to a public key and a signing oracle, but now it's no longer restricted to make a single Forgery attempt instead it's allowed to make many and can do so at any point in time And it wins the game if any of those forgery attempts is successful Meaning that the signature is valid and the message so far has not been created to the signing oracle Now one could argue that this actually models more realistically what we expect of a Signature scheme since the restriction to a single forgery attempt seems somewhat artificial However, of course, we would like to use the more simple version And this also seems justified since there is a tight reduction from the multi forge game to the forge game to see that note that a Forge Adversary can check signatures itself for validity So the reduction would essentially boil down to checking whether a message is fresh and this could for example Be done by simply keeping track of all messages Submitted to the signing oracle. However, then the reduction is non tight Another thing we could do is To simply guess which of the forgery attempts of the adversary would be on a fresh message However, then we would end up with a reduction heaven a lower success probability And the final thing we could think of is actually to rewind our adversary at each point When it makes a signing query in order to check for freshness of the message, but this would result in a higher running time So as we have seen there are several trade-offs for reductions from the mForge to the forge game, but all of them Lose a fact factor or in order of the order of the adversarial queries in one of our resources but since mForge is probably the more realistic game and Forge the simpler one We would clearly prefer a reduction which is both tight and memory tight So obtains once in all in all over the row However, this seems not possible and indeed we are able to show a theorem which informally looks something like this So a for a certain class of blackbuck reductions from mForge to forge It's not possible to be both tight and memory tight So the proof users streaming algorithms which are algorithms Which have to process a large input but only have a small working memory so they can only Process its input as a ordered stream of small chunks, but make several passes over those stream and so the restrictions on our reductions essentially forced them to behave as a streaming algorithm where these single chunks will correspond to the signing and forgery queries and in this way we are able to use a lower bound on the amounts of passes a Streaming algorithm has to make over its input in order to compute certain functions So to give a very short conclusion memory in cryptographic reductions does matter and it should be addressed when Coming up with reductions also it seems possible for many reductions to Add a simple fix, but there also are reductions which seem to be inherent memory loose Thank you


Well, hello, my friends, and welcome back to my channel. Today, we're going to be setting up how I'm going to be tracking my mileage in my 2019 business planner. And I am going to tell you about this stuff first, and I'll tell you about the business planner in a moment. So I'm going to be using this. This actually came with a planner that I got already, but it didn't come with this specific planner. This one came with my Aaron Condren life planner for 2019. It has the woven wonder pattern on it.  And then this pen is the Pilot Ultra Fine Point Permanent Marker, and I'm going to be using this on some of my Christian design stickers, which I'll show you in just a moment. And then also this Aaron Condren dual tip marker, which is why my finger is blue at the moment, because I just filmed another video before and tried to clean up something and whatever. And then also, I have this washi sample from my shop. Link is below, as well as a little coupon code if you're interested. And this is kind of like a transportation washi, I believe is what I ended up calling it. And then I have this sheet from a coffee break planner that has these little road stickers and then some little cars, which I think is awesome. I'm also going to be using these two sticker sheets from Chrissy and Designs. And I will link her shop below, as well as everything, all the other sources that I'm using today, including the pens. And this is KAD00232. And then I'm almost out of this sheet. I always get really excited when I finish a sheet. I'm not going to finish the sheet today, but I get very excited. I know some people feel really, really sad when they finish a sheet, but I feel the complete opposite. So this one is KAD00485. And then the planner that I am currently using for my business is an Aaron Kondren deluxe monthly planner. And I got the 12, it only comes in a 12 month version. I'm trying to get my words right. It only comes in a 12 month version, but I did get January through December and I got the maximum amount of notes pages possible. And I believe it was 120, don't quote me on that, but you could get a ton of notes pages. I will also leave links below to all the other things that I've set up in this planner. Basically half the planner is notes pages and I have done a bunch of other tracking setup in those notes pages already. So let's get on to the video. So I'm going to start by using the washi. Actually, let's move some things around and make it a little bit easier for everybody to see. Make sure the whole class can see. Oh, don't zoom out, you gotta zoom in. Okay, perfect. All right, so this is like a little road scene. And then I use this little bookmark from, not Christian today as well. Woo, all right, start over again. I use this little bookmark from Aaron Kondren. It's just one of those snap in ones. And then I'm gonna, there we go. And then I'm just kind of smoothing out the washi. All right. And then I thought underneath that, this little road washi, or not washi, but road strip sticker from Coffee Break Planner would look really, really cute. And I think it's about the right size. Even though I realize on the washi they're on a road, but when I have things like already in my arsenal, I love using them up. It's like one of my favorite things.  There we go. Oh, I feel like that just like really defines it a lot more. I like that a lot. Very cute. Okay, so on to the tracking. I am gonna be putting in a few different things. I'm gonna use, oh darn it, maybe I won't use these. Burp, burp, burp. Actually, yes, I can still make it work. I was gonna use the purple, but then there's no purple in the washi. I thought that there was a little bit of purple, but it's more like a primary color situation, but there is, there's some blue. So I'm gonna use this blue, and then I'll use some other colors here. So I'm gonna put in date, destination, miles, and then like a total, like a cumulative total at the end. Actually, no. I'm still gonna use the same sheet, but just like at the same type of sheet, but just a different one. So I wanna use, I think I'm just gonna use the yellows, like something in the spectrum of the yellows, because I got that little ambulance right there. So now I have them all written down, so let's peel these bad boys off. The date on the left-hand side, there we go. Took a moment to peel off here. And then we've got the destination. I'm just kinda centering it in the middle of the line, because I'm gonna do a little something in a moment. And then I'm gonna take total and put that at the very, very end, kind of just see how much space I have to work with here. I'm gonna kind of hang, I'm gonna hang this one over just a little bit because the miles are gonna get bigger as the year goes on. And then miles will just go right over here. That is crooked. Okay, hold on, hold on. All right, not crooked anymore. At least I don't think so. I mean, you guys will tell me in the comments, I am sure. What I think I'm gonna do is I'm gonna use another one of these strips, because you know, if you have it, why not use it? And I am going to use this line as a guide for myself. Actually, hold on. I keep messing everything up today. All right, hold on. I'm gonna do this over one more time. I'm gonna move this just a little bit over. And the awesome thing about Coffee Break Planner stickers is they are matte removable and I have removed stuff from like eight months ago with really like no issue and it not, you know, coming up on my paper or anything, like the paper didn't like rip off or anything like that. And I can still use the sticker, which is kind of cool. So I am going to make a little line on here. So I'm gonna be using my Aaron Condren dual tip marker and I opened up the wrong side. We are gonna use the fine point for this. Hold on, we're gonna just put that up there for a moment. All right, I'm gonna move this little guy over. I'm also going to use this sheet from Chrissy and Designs. It is the KAD0075. I'm gonna use this little yellow sticker that's got some polka dots in there and just write mileage tracker on here. All right, I'm just gonna plop this up on the top there. And I think I'm gonna use two of these little blue cars also from that Coffee Break Planner thing. And then just put these two little blue cars on there because there's a blue car here.  Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry. You were not in the frame. Oh, I'm horrible. I'm sorry guys. This whole time, once in a while, I should look up at the viewfinder. I mean, just once in a while, but clearly I am a failure. But now you can see what I was working on.  Whoopsie doopsy. Oh well, I hope you guys can forgive me. Also, I just noticed this. I love this little blue car.  Okay, now I'm done after you guys didn't see any of this stuff that I showed. Great, this is fabulous. All right, so I'm gonna move this little guy down here. It's just kind of off camera at the moment. All right, so this is my mileage tracker for my business planner for 2019. If you guys track mileage, let me know how you do it. Like if you do it in a decorative way like this, I know there's like apps and stuff like that that you can do on your phone. But if you track it in like a paper way, let me know in the comments down below what you use. Also, if you have any questions, let me know down below. I will link all the sources as well as my nail color. I get a lot of questions on my nails recently. So I will leave that in a link down below for you guys as well. If you like the video, make sure to give it a thumbs up. Feel free to subscribe if you'd like to join the FDE family. And I will see you guys in the next one. Bye guys. Well folks, it's time to kick it off school. So you can feel cool.


Hello and welcome to the session. In this session we will discuss a question which says that find the area of the shaded region in the figure if AC is equal to 24 cm, DC is equal to 10 cm and rho is the centre of the circle. U is pi is equal to 3.14. Now before starting the solution of this question we should know some results. And that are in a right angle triangle, if we see that pi is equal to AC square is equal to 80 square plus DC square. That is is equal to perpendicular square plus B square. Two of the semicircles equal to 1 over 2 into pi r square. There is the radius of the circle and pi is the constant. And thirdly, area of the triangle is equal to 1 by 2 into base into height. Area of the triangle is 1 by 2 into base into altitude or 1 by 2 into base into perpendicular. Now these results will work out as a key idea for solving out this question. And now we will start with the solution. Now given AC is equal to 24 cm, DC is equal to 10 cm. So given over the centre of the circle AC is equal to 24 cm, DC is equal to 10 cm and U is pi is equal to 3.14. The area of the shaded region. Now UB is equal to 90 degrees because in the semicircle, in the ACB is equal to 90 degrees. In a right angle triangle, by pi square that is DC square plus BC square is equal to 24 cm and BC is equal to 10 cm. So what are these values here? This implies AC square is equal to 24 square plus 10 square. This implies AC square is equal to 576 plus 100. This further implies AC square is equal to 676. This implies AC is equal to 26 cm. The diameter of the circle which is AB is equal to 26 cm. Diameter is AB which is equal to 26 cm. This implies radius which is OA is equal to 26 by 2 which is equal to 13 cm. Now we know that area of the semicircle is 1 by 2 into pi square. So here the area of the semicircle that is this semicircle which is given by 1, 1 is equal to 1 by 2 into pi square. Now here R is 13 cm and pi is 3.14 so it will be 1 by 2 into 3.14 into 13 into 13 cm square. Further this is equal to now 2 into 1.57 is 3 by 1 4 so it will be 1.57 into 169 cm square which is equal to 265.33 cm square. Now area of the triangle ACV is equal to 1 by 2 into BC into HAC is equal to 24 cm and BC is equal to 10 cm. So what are these values here this will be equal to 1 by 2 into 10 into 24 cm square which is further equal to 2 into 5 is 10. So this will be equal to 5 into 24 120 cm square. Now the shaded region is equal to semicircle 1 semicircle. These values here this will be equal to 265.33 cm square minus 120 cm square which is equal to 135.33 cm square. The shaded region is equal to 135.33 cm square. So this is the solution of the given question and that's all for this session. Hope you all have enjoyed this session.


picture. An official report produced for the armed forces and the American people. Now to show you part of the big picture, here is Sergeant Stuart Queen. 1958 marked the 16th anniversary of Army aviation. Although within the Army itself, the development of Army aviation is considered to be one of the most significant of modern times, this function still is little known or understood outside the service. Three factors are indispensable to victory in war, fire power, mobility, and communications. Success invariably goes to the side which has the greatest punch, and along with it the ability to move in quickly and exploit that punch. In short, the power to outmaneuver and outfire the enemy. The tools and the techniques of war change, but this principle of combat itself remains as true today as it has ever been. For years, indeed, for centuries, fire power and mobility were substantially in balance on the battlefield. Warfare was characterized by movement by foot, and soldiers could carry their muskets and drag their cannon with them. On the battlefields of World War I, however, warfare became stalemating. New weapons brought a greater firepower than any army had ever had before. But this technological advance and firepower had outpaced mobility. Troops could not move fast enough to take advantage of their own increased firepower or move against the enemies, and the battleground became stabilized in a system of French warfare until movement was restored with the development of the tank. Then the Allied armies were able to break out of their containment and begin the advance which ultimately crushed German resistance. During World War II, firepower and mobility were once again substantially in balance. The ground soldier had the support of a powerful array of armaments, and the army's ability to move had kept oppressed of this strength. With the atomic age came the signal that once again firepower was out distancing mobility. Firepower at the army's disposal today, nuclear and conventional, is spectacular. But to be able to use it to its fullest advantage, the army must be mobile enough to move in quickly and exploit it before the enemy can rally to an effective defense. The army, moreover, must be mobile enough to function on the atomic battlefield that the battlefield of the future may well be. Under conditions of atomic warfare, a field unit will have to be able to operate widely dispersed over great distances in order to survive an enemy atomic attack and still be able to come together and move quickly in order to follow through on any nuclear assault directed against the enemy. It is for these reasons that your army works unceasingly to develop the mobility upon which victory and war will depend. It is this effort to increase the army's mobility which gives army aviation its vital significance. Army aviation does not in any sense duplicate the tactical missions of the Air Force. Fire support which the Air Force gives the army and the assistance it provides in increasing the army's mobility are important to the army's mission. But these and related functions remain what they have been in two armed conflicts. Support given to the army by a sister service. They are not army functions. The army is concerned as it has always been with the land battle and the function of army aviation is solely to increase the army's ability to win the land battle by increasing its mobility within the confines of the battlefield itself. On 65,000 acres of ground in Southeast Alabama and in the skies above it stands the home of army aviation. Fort Rocker above the best is the motto of the men who have learned to fly the machines which give the army a new dimension in mobility. Graduation day at Fort Rocker marks the end of an arduous training period but also the beginning of a new phase in the careers of the men who have made it. For them and for their families it is a time of pride. The mark of the army pilot is the mark of skill and devotion, endurance and toughness. The story of army aviation is the story of no one branch of the army but rather the story of a new and rapidly growing development whose effect is felt throughout the army in almost every branch of its service. It is the vigorous story of youth and new ideas. It is properly the story of the young men who qualify as its pilots. Men like First Lieutenant Ralph Ferguson, they are the inheritors today of a tradition which began in the skies over North Africa during the first year of American involvement in World War II. The mission was strictly that of observation for the adjustment of artillery fire. Those first months of trial in combat were difficult ones. The restrictions placed on the first planes in action limited their activities considerably. According to approved doctrine, flights were to last no longer than necessary for one artillery adjustment. An estimated maximum time of seven minutes over our gun positions. The plane was actually an elevated observation post to be used for the direction of artillery fire only under emergency conditions. Even under these restrictions, however, the success of aerial observation was soon demonstrated. Light aviation proved in battle had come to be recognized as an indispensable part of the army. When the challenge of Korea came, aircraft had been improved and their mission of observation well established. They were the eyes of the artillery and most observed fire in Korea was adjusted from army aircraft. At the same time that light aircraft was demonstrating its effectiveness in directing artillery fire, the fast moving history of modern warfare was revealing other areas in which the speed and mobility of aircraft could be used to priceless advantage. Routed man for all of his progress was at the mercy of the terrain within the battle zone. A river of mud could halt the course of battle and even turn a winning tide to defeat. Supply lines, the vital arteries without which a combat effort dies, could be strained to the danger point and beyond it and all too often were at the mercy of impossible conditions imposed by the earth itself. Even the wounded and the men who carry them were forever frustrated by situations beyond anyone's control. The struggle for life in a badly wounded man in need of medical attention depended on variables that could produce tragic results. Yes the need was there, written on every page of the army's experience with war in remote lands. The need for the ability to master the terrain or function independently of it. History works in strange ways. It is possible to say now looking back that even as the need was being made apparent for a degree of mobility the army had not possessed technological progress had brought aircraft to the point where they could provide that mobility. Greater range, greater speed and greater versatility came with each new model. The most dramatic development of all was the improvement of the helicopter. For several years it had been a fascinating toy but now it had reached a technical stage which calls serious attention to its amazing powers of maneuverability and its ability to land in an area not much larger than its own dimensions. The helicopter was put to a dramatic test in Korea. The mercy mission of evacuating wounded soldiers from the hilly jagged terrain where most of the fighting took place. It was a thoroughly successful test. One medical group with its organic helicopters evacuated more than 20,000 casualties by helicopter. It proved conclusively that along with fixed wing light aircraft the helicopter had a definite place in army aviation. Full of army aviation has grown enormously in the years since Korea. Its missions are now far more extensive. Important among them is still the mercy mission of casualty evacuation. A mission much more efficient now because of the steady development of larger helicopters. The helicopter's development has enabled it to contribute to the mobility of the army in a way scarcely dreamed of in World War II. Groups transported over short distances by helicopter can move toward their objective independent of terrain features. Over obstacles which always before have made military movement difficult, time-consuming or impossible. Along with their freedom from the tyranny of terrain, combat ready troops transported by air can move in to close with the enemy in literally a fraction of the time their travel once took. Short haul transport of critical equipment to forward areas of the combat zone is also a mission which army aviation can fulfill today. Reducing the importance of roads as a logistical factor. The fighting man at the front can be assured of the combat support which makes his fight possible. Whatever the nature of the terrain which links him with the rear area. Adjustment of artillery fire, the original mission of army aviation is still an important function. But the concept of using aircraft for observation has broadened greatly. Hound has always been one of the most important pieces of real estate on the battlefield because of its advantage of observation and the infantryman has had to fight better for it. Now the aeroplane equipped with TV and other electronic devices can give the commander eyes he never had in battle before. It serves as an observation post offering a view of the battle area. Aviation gives the commander a great many advantages such as personal inspection of widely dispersed forces. For the first time in military history a division commander can inspect all of his units in one day. Although the purpose of army aviation is support of tactical operations in combat its pilots have performed with bravery in civil disasters and emergencies. Mercy and rescue missions for people in distress whether in situations involving a few or in disasters affecting many have attested again and again the versatility of the machines of army aviation and the skill and courage of the men who fly them. The men who fly them that means men like Lieutenant Ferguson or it will anyway after today now that their preparation is over. As much as I've waited for today I'm sorry to see it end. These past 12 weeks of advanced training have been tough but I've learned a lot. It wasn't just flying either we all knew how to fly when we came to Rucker. We got our primary training at Gary Army Airfield Texas came here for tactical training. What the instructors taught us we'll really be able to use. Some of the planes we flew were great big or flashy but they were selected for the way they're able to do precisely what the army needs doing. There was a time when I would have thought any instructor crazy to ask a man to sit down and some of the one horse pastures we get used to but not anymore. I might have to get in and out of much worse than that someday under noisier conditions. They taught us that so far as we would be concerned on our missions in the future emergency conditions would be routine conditions. An army in the field can't take time out to build airports. We spend a lot of our time on the books. They packed a lot of theory into those weeks as well. I know just how important I am to this army now and how important army aviation is if we're going to be able to move a combat ready force in and out in a hurry or spot artillery fire or do a lot of other jobs that can't be done effectively any other way. Instruction and helicopter flying goes on here too. Tactical instruction for rotary wing pilots who've already had their basic flight training. Those of us who've qualified for fixed wing flying are eligible to come back here for helicopter training after we spend a year with troops. I'm looking forward to that. I've flown as a passenger in helicopters and I know there's nothing quite like it. Flying adds a third dimension to ordinary mobility but when it's done in a helicopter you have to add about six more. You find out that choppers have to be flown too. Basically the helicopter is an unstable aircraft. The pilot has to keep his hands and feet in mind on what he's doing at all times. If his performance is good the aircraft will do as well. Follow us on this ride. Contour flying is a fundamental part of the army's approach to aviation. The army's a land force and our job in combat is to get and keep control of the land. We look upon our flying machines as instruments to help us get from one place to another as quickly as possible but without sacrificing our control of the land. There are machines which let us do our job in spite of terrain obstacles. They give us mastery over the terrain. We just move along with it high enough not to be impeded by barriers but low enough to be out of radar scope and low enough to use the features of terrain to keep the enemy from seeing us. Here's the technique of contour flying a tactical necessity. It's also a tremendous thrill and each time you put down after a workout like this you feel as if you just had quite an experience and who keep the aircraft running get the kind of instruction they need to. Their theory of instruction is the same as ours. Learn by doing. You find lots of new things around here. Experiments that aren't even part of army doctrine yet. Take the high performance aircraft for instance. It's not really ours. The Air Force loaned it to us. We're using it to study the techniques of observation from high speed aircraft or take the experiments that are being made with armed helicopters. That's one that's being studied very seriously too. The theory is that a helicopter ought to have the ability to protect itself just as any other vehicle should make sense to me. Everything here makes sense to me. I'm sold on the idea that the army's future is being molded right here. There isn't any site that will give you any better idea of the changes that have come to our army and this one. Maybe none of this will ever have to be tested in real war. That's what we're all hoping of course. But if it does get forced into test by combat, army aviation will give a great account of itself. Let's put all this equipment on a battlefield. A fictional battlefield of course. Since many of these machines have never seen combat and some of them are still being tested for concept. But let's see what would happen and how they would be used. This is the battlefield. The enemy is conducting a delaying operation and our forces are rapidly in pursuit to keep him from reorganizing. The enemy sits beyond that ridge. Our commander has reason to suspect the enemy has a missile emplacement which he intends to use against us. It is of the utmost necessity that it be destroyed immediately before it can be employed against our forces. Too much delay will give the enemy the advantage that might prove fatal. The commander orders into operation his fully equipped aircraft which can make its reconnaissance in a matter of minutes. It accomplishes his mission and relays the information back and the army's deadly corporal missile is launched to seek out and destroy the enemy's missile emplacement. The infantry loads quickly into helicopters. The equipment they will need in combat goes with them. Aerial combat reconnaissance ships with the traditional mission of cavalry screen the area. Search out enemy resistance. Determine its strength so the job of the main force will be made easier. The weapons with which these helicopters are armed do more than enable the ships to defend themselves. They also enable the craft to perform reconnaissance by fire. An integral part of the cavalry mission. By firing into the enemy's positions and drawing his fire they can better estimate the enemy's strength. Their easy maneuverability permits the helicopters to take full advantage of the terrain for protection. Rise and fire. Duck down and hide again. Behind the reconnaissance helicopters come the heavier weapon ships. More heavily armed than the reconnaissance craft. They put down a tremendous rain of fire into the enemy area. Screen of fire. The infantry unload from the ships which have carried them into the combat area. Team troops come their equipment. And the communications which will keep their operation unified. The infantry are able to move in close to the firing helicopters. The enemy's defenses begin to crumble. In a matter of minutes a victory is won which in other circumstances might have taken hours. On this theoretical battlefield weapons and machines which are in existence today have been combined to demonstrate how a combat action could be fought if war broke out now. Army aviation the fastest growing development in military services is providing the United States Army with the mobility to match its firepower and make it the most effective land force on the face of the earth and just a little above it. The story of army aviation does not end with the demonstration of existing machines and methods you have seen. It is a continuing story developing as the process of technology on which its future rest develops. Experiments are going on today with machines that are truly incredible. Individual lift devices such as the flying platforms and others of similar principles and similar purpose. Aircraft of radical design with vertical takeoff and landing powers. And on the drawing boards are machines of even more spectacular possibilities. An aerial jeep. And aerial assault vehicle. A flying crane that will be able to carry as much as 12 tons for distances of 25 to 50 miles. Perhaps not all of these vehicles will actually become realities. The tests that lie between concept and practice are severe ones. But they are representative of the ideas that emerge in the continuous never ending effort to develop the army's mobility. Increase it and increase it still more. There is no doubt that just as aircraft in the last few years have augmented the army's potential in battle substantially improved aircraft in the years ahead will develop it further. And in the process the weapons and the concept of army aviation may well revolutionize the tactics of ground warfare in the future that lies just before us.

Okay, so you're interested in road biking, but you wanna have the freedom to get off-road as well. Maybe off the beaten path and have an adventure. So you need an adventure bike, but what is an adventure bike? An adventure bike, similar to a gravel grinder or gravel bike, is basically a do-it-all machine equally at home on long asphalt commutes as it is on gravel trails. And while the frame is somewhat like a road bike, there's usually more clearance for larger tires and so that mud or dirt doesn't build up. Higher-volume tires can deal with dirt, mud, and grass while still being fast and super comfortable on the road. You might think it's weird that adventure bikes have drop bars unlike mountain bikes, but what this does is allows you to have a lot more positioning for your hands on longer rides. Nearly all this range of bikes come equipped with disc brakes. These are way more effective in wet or muddy conditions than traditional rim brakes and stay clear of the dirt on your tires. Finally, and really usefully, adventure bikes come with attachment points for mud guards to keep you dry. And pan your racks if you're not using frame bags to load your bike down with gear for longer rides. And trust me, longer rides that get you way out into new territory are definitely worth doing. And whether that be on asphalt or gravel, an adventure bike is going to get you there. For more bike tips and tricks from Pure Cycles TV, click the link to subscribe.
