Kremlin is already looking for successor to Putin. Andrey Yusov, spokesman for the main intelligence directorate, said that after the decision of the international criminal court to arrest Russian dictator Vladimir Putin, the Kremlin is looking for a successor to the Russian president. Yusov noted that on the 17th of March, Russian propagandists did not come out with their shows where they discussed the Hague because debating this would be a strange and disturbing call for the population of the Russian Federation. Putin's circle is narrowing. He is becoming more and more toxic both to the outside world and inside the country. In particular, there is more and more dissatisfaction with what is happening in the Kremlin Towers and increasingly grim awareness of the prospects, namely the geopolitical catastrophe of the Putin regime. And yes, we are already talking about finding a successor to Putin and it is no longer Putin who is looking for him, Yusov said. On the 17th of March, pre-trial Chamber 2 of the International Criminal Court issued an arrest warrant for Russian president Vladimir Putin in view of the situation in Ukraine. All member states of the International Criminal Court are legally required to detain and bring the suspect of Russian president Vladimir Putin. After that, it is reported that the search for the person to replace Putin began.


Hi guys, this is Jason Zach from Nathaniel School of Music. In this lesson, I'm super excited to share how to play probably one of my top five favorite songs of all time by the great band The Beatles. It's called Blackbird. Now, you may be thinking, what is a piano teacher doing teaching a song which Paul McCartney kind of plucked away on his guitar? Well, I have a nice version which I play and I'm totally inspired by the Beatles version of it. And most of what I'm going to teach you in this video will be pretty much what the guitar strumming pattern is all about. We are following the same notes, the same chords, the same hit points, pretty much the same guitar pattern. And I do play a little bit of guitar, so it kind of came a bit more organically to me. And let's see how it goes. I hope you find the lesson useful. Get your keyboards out. And if you haven't already, do give the song a listen. It's called Blackbird again by the Beatles. I'm sure you've already heard it if you're watching this video, but still give it a listen. It's nice to hear the original and then come back to this video if you wish. So before we get cracking, it'll be great if you can consider subscribing to our channel, turning on the bell icon for regular notifications because we do a lot of your favorite songs as piano accompaniment, as piano solo arrangements and so on and so forth. And you can supplement your learning on our Patreon page, patreon.com forward slash Jason Zach, where you'll get my handwritten notes as well as the staff notation, MIDI files and other supporting material for our lessons on the YouTube channel. Your support will also mean a great deal to our channel. So let's get cracking. It's on the key of G major. G major has one sharp naturally, right? F sharp. What I'm hearing in the original song with the guitar, just tell yourself to drone the G or repeat the G every alternate time. Which G? I mean the G just under middle C. So that one. So if you hear the intro, for instance, this is going to repeat almost all the time, except when he shifts up his guitar to the upper register. Even there you play the G and that's it. And then you do, you see, there's a lot of this recurrence of G, right? And we are going to count a very simple couple of patterns, very inspired by banjo players or finger style players. You could also refer to this as the Travis style picking pattern named after the famous guitar player who invented the technique. So I'm trying to just get inspired by all of these things and try to do it as best as possible on the piano and make it as authentic as possible as well. And it's going to be super easy, which is why I think even if you're a beginner or a newcomer to the instrument watching this video, you'll find that you can play this. So stay with me, get your keyboards out. We are going to divide this into sections, but we'll first do the iconic intro. Now, I cannot do the sliding thing on the piano. I can't do the sliding thing for obvious reasons. The piano is a very binary instrument. It's either this or that. You can go in between notes. The guitar has that ability to slide as you probably know and have heard in the original, right? Where we slide and we slide all the way to the topmost frets of the guitar. So I'm going to work on a piano version of the intro. Let's follow along. Okay. Now, before I show you that there are two rhythm patterns, which we are going to do for the entire lesson. And let's do both those rhythm patterns on G. So, so there we go. So my pinky is on G, my thumb is on G, and I'm just doing eighth notes. So this is one pattern, singles in the right hand. And as you climb, remember, you keep that G ringing and you're going to change notes in the upper register, left of the G and right of the G. So it's just G in the middle and then stuff to its left will keep changing based on the chords and stuff to its right will be changing based on the chords. So that's pattern one. OK, now the other pattern, the interesting Travis style picking pattern would be instead of doing we do. Which is one year to be and one year to be and one year. And the way Paul McCartney is doing this is whenever the chords are long, like long by long, I mean for an entire bar or at least four beats, right? Whenever it's that long, you do the the fancier pattern. And whenever it's quick changes between chords, you just do the first pattern. Or if the chords change every beat, you would want to use the slower pattern. Which is exactly what happens in the intro. It's G, a minus seventh, G over B. And end on a regular old G major for a long time. It's an entire bar of four. So one, two, three. One, two, three, four. Also note that the song is not on an evenly or a regular time signature, like three endlessly or four endlessly. It keeps changing. It's three, four, four. Then it comes back here and there to a two, four. So follow along and the notation will really help you. The notation is there for the entire lesson, the entire arrangement, really. So let's get cracking, guys. So the intro will be the same thing as what you do for the line one of the verse, which is Blackbird singing in the dead of night. Blackbird singing in the dead of night. OK, so against that, what do we play? That's your first line. Blackbird singing in the dead of night. Again, slowly. If you can't jump your hand there, what I'd encourage you to do is just stick along with the same octave range and just play the G's as a toggle. That also works. That kind of works. But the original arrangement could should probably be where you jump your hand just like how he jumps the guitar. Verse starts singing in the dead of night. Let's move forward to line two. So what happens there? Take these broken wings and learn to fly. So at the word fly, take these broken wings and learn to fly. You do because it's a longer change. However, the chords change every two beats. So it goes to E minor and then E minor with an E flat bass. Which is sort of like an E flat augmented. So take take these broken wings and learn some beautiful chords there, which he's implying, which is C major. That's an A over C sharp or you can call it a C sharp diminished A 7th over C sharp. You could also call that as a C sharp diminished chord C major C sharp diminished D major D sharp diminished or B 7th over D sharp E minor going to E flat augmented. Okay, let's do that whole line. Okay. Take these broken wings and learn to fly. Again. Take these sunken eyes and learn to see. Okay, so single, single for that first bar and now the pattern. The Travis picking pattern. Take these broken wings and learn to fly. Busy. That's the Travis picking pattern again. Take these sunken eyes and learn to see. Little faster. Take these sunken wings and learn to fly. Okay, both lines again. Blackbird singing in the dead of night. Taking wings and learn to fly. Okay, coming to that all your life part. Remember, the middle note is always G. That's the beauty of this performance. It has G in the center everywhere all the time. That's like a D major with an add four with a G. That's implying a C sharp half diminished chord or a minor 7th flat 5. Sometimes I get carried away and play the melody line. See what he's doing on the guitar just for it to be understood from a theoretical perspective. He's always harmonizing his vocal line. So what that ends up doing is he's sort of like a backing vocalist to his own voice on the guitar. So that goes. Check that out. That's the lower third of the melody. So this is like another part in the choral arrangement, so to speak, which he's producing on his guitar. Okay, so coming back to that line. All your life. There's some beautiful chords there. All the D major. Add four. C sharp minor 7th flat 5. C major. C minor. There we go. Out of scale, but it works perfectly well. Okay, let's move forward. You are only waiting. So how I've designed it is I'm not doing that busy one. Somewhere in between would be... And now busy. Again. In the left, A. So that's implying a G over B. A, that's implying an A dominant 7th. Now there's a D with the left that's implying a D7 sus 4. Back to good old G major. Okay, so let's do the whole thing slowly again. Moving forward, there's a little interlude where he goes... The usual suspects. The same chords we've played already which is... That's C major. G over B. A7. D7 sus 4. G. One more time interlude. Super slow. And then the second verse happens. Carbon copy of the first verse. That goes on. Now it goes to the bridge which is beautiful. It's just leaving the key of G. It's almost going into a borrowed scale. If you were to call it that, you could call it as G mixolydian. Where you have more access to the F and we don't... The F will kind of replace the F sharp. And the progression will be something like... Remember that faithful friend of ours. The G below middle C. We play that at the end of everything. Every single beat. So the movement of the rhythm is pretty much the same. It's the chilled out one. But what's the melody going? A G F E. What's the bass harmony going? Okay, so... With our G rhythm. Blackbird. Busy. Blackbird. And you kind of stop it with an A7. Voiced this way. Again remember it's a guitar finger style playing way. So he's using three fingers. Or arguably you could play it with three fingers. So you don't want to play more than three notes on the piano. Unless of course you want to have some fun. So I'm going to spend the last few minutes of the video just having a little bit of fun from a piano perspective. With no disrespect to the original song. It's just a way you can vibe with it on this instrument. A few things which could come to help you serve the song a bit better hopefully. Okay, so coming to the bridge again. Blackbird. Blackbird. Blackbird. Blackbird. Blackbird. Blackbird. Blackbird. Blackbird. Into the light. So we're voicing that D G C F. ways to look at it right guys so we pretty much covered all the segments of the song so we have our intro all important where you jump your hand line one black but singing in the dead of night same as the intro line now whenever the chords go long you play that Travis pattern on the busy pattern the groovy pattern when the chords change fast you play the more easier pattern because you don't have time to play that and then bridge right so now to have some piano fun if you will with the song the first thing is you can kind of stack up a note or two with your pinky or the upper fingers of your right hand so you could go things like that makes it slightly thicker if you wish so I'm just adding the pinky on the G and the other thing you can do on the pianos you could spell out the actual chords of the song like these broken wings and learn the only way all this momentum that but sing it in the dead of night spell out the chords a bit especially the more fancier chords that no waiting for this moment to be can a few country things could work any time you play a G you could do that another thing I like to do sometimes just approach each note you don't have to do an overkill of it I'm just showing you to show you each note of the melody stuff like that could work things like that instead of doing good to adding that G as I suggested or you can flam it here and there and try to play it on the piano with a lot of dynamics because that's all we've got really on the piano notes and volumes of notes so can do things like for the bridge right so there's some few fun piano things to do if you want if you don't you can just play the original version as we've been doing throughout this lesson right guys so that was blackbird by the Beatles hope you found the lesson interesting useful fun and hope you can try it on the piano and do let us know what you thought about the lesson in the comments if you'd like to learn something else some other song you can put it out there and don't forget to give the video a like share the video with your musician friends and hit the subscribe button hit the bell icon for notifications and the notation is waiting for you on patreon if you would like to get that thanks a ton cheers and see you in the next one


You know, our mission at AgeWell is to provide the support and guidance that inspires our community to embrace aging with confidence. So in everything that we do, that is our guide. AgeWell is a designated area agency on aging. We serve older individuals who are 60 and over and anyone under 60 with a disability on long-term Medicaid. We are committed to making sure that older adults are supported at home or in the place of their choice by providing them with services and resources so that they can age in place. We have many programs at AgeWell to provide this type of support, nutrition programs, wellness programs. It's not only serving individuals but families and caregivers. We've been doing a monthly show and it's so popular. People wait for it to come out, people share it all over. We know that hundreds of people watch these shows and so we really know that people are relying on this as a resource. This show, which essentially is to educate the community about issues that are impacting all of us as we age and we are all aging every day and we found that we have people calling us from all over the state saying, you know, I'm looking for resources as a caregiver and we're able to share our content and then they know, you know, that we're there for them.


My name is Ashley and I'm a material manager in the United States Air Force. I'm here to share the female perspective of being a 2SOX1. So I went to college before I joined the Air Force. I had been to college for two years. I had a scholarship, thankfully, but when I didn't want to play sports anymore and my scholarship had ended, I wasn't willing to go into debt to go to school. I had a friend who was in the Air Force who was doing pretty well for themselves. They were doing much better than me at the time, so that led me to look into it, do my research, but then ultimately I decided to join. And I also wanted to travel. This is a pretty good way to travel. So I've been in the Air Force a little under three years. I'll hit my three year mark in November 2019, so I joined in November 2016. I'm currently in E4, so I'm a senior airman. I won BTZ, so I was able to sew on September of 2019. So our AFSC is 2SOX1, which is material management or better known as supply. So against all the warnings around me, everybody was telling me, don't sign an open general contract. You're at the mercy of the Air Force, which is true. You really are at the mercy of the Air Force. They're going to slot you where you want, where they need to. Nobody really told me this. I guess it's a given. But when you go in open general, you don't find out your job until much later in basic.  I was pretty envious of those people who already knew what they were doing, because we did have to wait a while to find out our jobs, which I wasn't mentally prepared for. Thankfully, I got a good job that I enjoy doing. I think it matches well with my skillset, so I was very fortunate. So on paper, I don't know that I would have really picked supply just reading through the jobs, but I was willing to accept the open general contract because no matter what job I was slotted in, I was going to make the most of it and do it to the best of my ability. So if you're one of those people that could have a mindset like that, doing an open general is not the worst thing ever. I just really wanted a job that was transferable outside the Air Force, preferably in medical. However, I didn't know that medical was going to be a hard job to get, so my best chance was going to be going in open general. So I was in the debt program for six months. However, if I wanted a medical job, I was going to have to wait about a year extra. And as I mentioned earlier, I was older, I was 21 at the time, so I didn't really want to just put my life on hold for six months, then ship out for a medical job, so I was willing to chance it with the open general contract. And if it went my way, great. And if it didn't, great. So I joined with a four-year contract. I already had enough college credits to get me A1C after I graduated basic. So there was really no benefit of me signing a six-year contract. However, my brother joined after me and he didn't go to college for as long as I did. So it benefited him to sign the six-year because then when he graduated tech school, he would be able to put on A1C, so it was much faster for him. So our tech school is at Lackland, so you don't go very far. It's a 30-day tech school. I don't think it's super strenuous.  The longest part for me was waiting for a seat in class. So I was holdover waiting for a seat in class for two months, so they had me on some specialized detail. A lot of people were, so you're either going to be in this little holding area for airmen also waiting to get a seat or you get to get put on a special detail. So I was really, really fortunate and I got to be in a golf detail where I drove a golf car picking up golf balls on a driving range or we would do morning runs on the golf course at Lackland and make sure there was no trash anywhere. So I was really fortunate and I had a really good experience being a holdover. Just know that might happen. So San Antonio is the closest city to Lackland. I really enjoy San Antonio. I think there's a lot to do. If you're older, you can obviously go drink after your holdover stages or you can just roam around longer. You don't get any special curfews or anything for being older. You have more options to you. So as a supply tube, you can almost go anywhere. You can go to army bases. You can go to navy bases. You can obviously go to joint bases.  So if you're married military to military and your spouse has a limiting job, but let's just say it's supply, marriage to security forces. Your options are pre-opened. But if you're supply, married to somebody with a limiting job, then your options are just limited by them. But you can typically follow them because you can go almost anywhere. Another limiting factor is if you're married or if you have kids and they have a medical code placed on them, then you can only go to places where the hospital supports the illness or ailment that your spouse or dependent has. So those are your really only limiting factors for supply. Such a broad job, we're needed everywhere. It's one of my favorite parts. So the most basic way I can explain what material managers do, the whole overview of it is if you think about like a normal store, you get in your shipment, you in check it, you put it away, then customers come, they want this part.  And if they don't, that's okay too. There are parts that need to be returned and there are parts that do not need to be returned. You place orders for them. Basically you're like a mini store just for aircraft needs. So there's eight different sections that you can possibly go in and supply. So each of them you'll typically begin for two years. So I'll kind of just go over a brief overview of the different eight sections that you can possibly go in. So the first one is equipment. This is one I have personally worked. It's a desk job. So basically like generators and floodlights, things that support the maintenance side of the house gets tracked by the equipment section. And you're basically just doing inventories and maintaining accountability of those assets. The section is very technical and detail oriented. So it's pretty difficult for a new airman coming in to work that section. However, you just gotta give it your best go. So the second one is DMS. So decentralized material support. You're basically the buffer between maintenance and normal supply. You're their supply liaison.  You know, that might be a little confusing but they're kind of like, they're detached but attached. So Flight Service Center is where the bad parts will go. So maintenance will turn in the bad parts to Flight Service Center and then they will send the parts where they need to go to be repaired or disposed of properly. MRSP, Mission Readiness Support Packages. But basically they're kits of like parts that break in aircraft, break on an aircraft often. And they're basically just compiled of all those parts and they deploy and go places with the plane where there is no main central warehouse for the plane. Customer Service is another desk job. They're basically doing the listings that come down and they're gonna be your primary POC for orders. APS is the bread and butter of supply. So APS stands for Aircraft Parts Tour. So they're the main warehouse of the base. Typically there'll be one APS per base but there might be two, there might be three. I'm not familiar with the whole Air Force. I don't play out of that but at the base I'm currently stationed that there's one APS. When you work that section you're gonna be doing the inventories and you're gonna be pulling the parts when customers order it. So when maintenance needs a part it's gonna pop out on your screen or on a printer and you're just gonna have to go pull the part and then maintenance will come pick it up and then you'll just give it to them, you'll process your transactions then you just repeat. Inventory and inspection. Those sections are separate sections however they're really always classified as the same. A lot of people get that confused. So with inventory and inspection we'll start with inventory. They'll do the mandatory inventories to maintain compliance of the regulation. So if they say that this warehouse has to be inventoried once a year they're gonna be doing that once a year inventory. And then inspection if there is a discrepancy along the line somewhere. So if you have four parts showing in the system but you only see three parts on the shelf and this is where inspection comes in and they'll try to see what happened where the part is and then do their report. Last but not least is IPE. So IPE stands for individual protective equipment. So this one is people typically say that it's not real supply because you're using a different system but sort of the same but you're not doing normal supply transactions. So it's gonna be your training gear. It's gonna be before you deploy all the gear you need if you need a weapon they'll house that as well and they'll issue it to you before you deploy. So critical like things to have if you wanna be a supply troop if you wanna exceed as a supply troop is a tendon to detail. So the system that we use is pretty unforgiving. So once you process something it's pretty hard to undo the process like you need to go through your chain of command and then they'll back it out in the system but it's better to not even go there in the first place. So just like making sure you double check yourself and that you just pay attention to the little things it's really gonna save you a lot of hassle in the long term. So just attention to detail is so important. Understanding the why behind why you're doing a certain transaction or why you're doing something a certain way. If you don't know, I highly encourage you to ask and understand why you're doing what you're doing. It'll help you understand the general overview of supply. You'll just learn a lot more. Don't be afraid to challenge your supervisor and ask them questions along the way. If you're not understanding something, challenge them, make them explain it to you. Again, kind of hitting back on the understanding the why but don't be afraid to challenge your supervisor. Also, don't go running to your supervisor every time you have a question. I've by far learned more by struggling through problems myself and searching through the regulations and making my own continuity. I've learned far more from doing that than just running to my supervisor for problems. So I encourage you as well to not be afraid to dig in the regulations. It's basically the how to guides and just learn a little bit more. My last piece of advice for anybody getting material management or thinking about getting material management is just don't cut corners. Do it right the first time because it will come to bite you in the end and everything has a name tag to who did what. So you're just saving yourself a lot of heartache in the future if you just do things right the first time. So the general things I can say that might be helpful for new airmen coming in is time flies. Remember why you joined the Air Force and accomplish why you joined. If you joined to travel, travel. If you joined for financial stability, save money.  If you joined for an education, if you joined to knock out your bachelor's degree, get your associate's degree, knock it out. If you joined to become an officer, become an officer. Like learn what you need to do early on. Set yourself up for success and accomplish why you joined. Do you have any questions about anything I've said in this video? Please drop the comments below I'm more than happy to answer them. I'll do my best to get back to you in a timely manner. But in the meantime, best of luck.


Russia claims interception of U.S. bombers. Pentagon responds. Russia has claimed that two U.S. strategic bombers were approaching the Russian border over the Baltic Sea while the Pentagon responds that there was interaction between two of its B-1 bombers and Russian aircraft. According to Russia's National Defense Management Center, two U.S. strategic i.e. capable of carrying nuclear weapons, bombers were previously spotted near Russian airspace over the Baltic Sea. In response, a Russian SU-27 fighter jet took off. The Defense Ministry did not specify when the incident took place. The crew of the Russian fighter jet classified the air targets as two U.S. Air Force B-1B strategic bombers and took up the established combat duty zone in the air. The center said. After ousting the foreign military aircraft from the state border of the Russian Federation, the Russian fighter returned to its airfield. The Russian military said. According to CNN, the Pentagon confirmed that there was an interaction between two of its B-1 bombers and Russian aircraft. My understanding is that it was a safe and professional interaction with Russian aircraft, so nothing significant to report on that front. Pentagon Press Secretary, Air Force Brigadier, General Pat Ryder said.


Here we go, all the way, let's count to four Keep going, all the way, let's count to four It's wild, it's wild, it's wild I got a reserve by my side I got a reserve by my side Here we go, here we go, all the way All the way, gotta be lighted up there Hey, light it, light it low Well, it's here Hey, light it, light it low We're so glad we didn't join the neighbors Hey, light it, light it low Well, it's here Hey, light it, light it low We're so glad we didn't join the neighbors


So this tiny house has all the electricals based on national electric code. It has all the plumbing that is needed. It has a sleeping area. It has a working area. It has a set of energy efficient appliances. It has solar panels. Our students will be able to understand how much energy are we producing and how much energy are we consuming by use of this space. So basically this house is a lab that you know but I would say it will be a live lab where you will have a facility that's completely dedicated towards the research. This is a tiny house on wheels. So this is unlike any other laboratory facility. So if we want to understand solar panels and how they perform in different climate zones we can actually drive it to another climate zone. On this compact model you can actually measure. You can actually know your energy consumptions. You can actually know what's going to happen. I hope that you know our researchers, scientists at Purdue they'll be discovering some wonderful things about this construction. What really excited me about this project is the number of opportunities our students are going to have here at Purdue and the million research ideas we have to use it.

Αυτό δεν είναι κάτι που πρέπει να κάνεις, αλλά είναι πραγματικά κάτι ακριβώς σε το κομμάτια. Τώρα, θα ανοίξω αυτό στο κομμάτια από το κομμάτια πιστό. Αυτό το κομμάτω στο κομμάτια. Τώρα στο κομμάτια, θα δημιουργήσω το κομμάτια. Υπάρχουν πολλές διαφορετικές πλασίες και λίγες στο κομμάτια, για να μπορείτε να μπορείτε να βάζετε και να δημιουργήσετε το κομμάτια. Είμαι χρησιμοποιώντας ένα κομμάτια στο κομμάτια και θα ανοίξω τα κομμάτια και θα ανοίξω τα κομμάτια και θα ανοίξω τα λίγες. Είναι ένα very quick and simple design, very versatile for pretty much any occasion and you can easily recreate it with the different types of flowers that you get in the kit. So here are some close-up photos on the first card and let's move on to the next one. For this card I chose the pattern paper that has this wooden design and for my card base I went with the off-white one I think this is very light gray and I'm cutting it out to be 4.25 x 5.5 I'm going to matte that on top and I'm just going to add some tape adhesive at the back and stick it there making sure that I have a border on the left and on the right. Now when you try to pick up pieces from the cutouts that mix and match together nicely make sure that they have the same details so for example my flower here has some foiling all around so I picked the green leaves that have foiling as well and also the completely gold leaves I am adding some foam to the back to pop my flower and then I'm going to stick down the leaves and I'm creating a little bit of a cluster here and for the sentiment I went with two of the die cuts and if you combine them you can read you are the real deal Again both of those sentiments are foiled which means that everything matches perfectly on top of my card and also notice that I'm using the whole thing but the foam adhesive that they give me not only the squares but also the outside area So the second card idea is exactly the same as the first one where I create a flower composition on top but just by using different designs of die cuts I create a completely different look Now for the third card I'm going for something masculine so I picked up that lovely patterned paper which I'm going to combine it with the gray cardstock and I'm using my basic rectangle dies that I had on my stash to create the frame I used foam tape at the back and I'm going to stick that frame directly on top of my card base and now this gives some dimension but it is not a shaker card Of course you can turn it into a shaker card if you want to Now as my focal point I went with the card and just to give some more definition to my card I also used the rectangle dies to cut out this tiny little frame which I'm going to stick on top Now again for the card I'm going to use some foam tape at the back and I'm going to stick it a little bit offset If you want you can recreate the same design and stick it at the center of the frame but just for some variation I decided to go offset for this one And then to embarrass it a little bit more I'm using two more die cuts one of them is the measure tape and the other one is one of the sentiment that says no other die like you So these two die cuts not only embellish my card even more but at the same time they provide kind of a ground for my card so that it doesn't look as if it is floating there I'm also adding some dots of glue so that I can stick some of the golden stars and these were included too I usually make feminine cards but when I end up making a masculine card I'm always really happy since it is always nice to have some of those cards on hand For the next card just for some variation instead of creating the standard A2 card I'm going for a gatefold card so I will create two flaps that meet at the middle I also picked up one of the beautiful pattern papers and I think that this card stock really complements that pattern paper and from this pattern paper I'm going to cut out 2 inch strips so that I can embellish the flaps of my card I'm using my tape runner at the back of those pattern papers and I'm going to stick them on the flaps Make sure that when you close those flaps that design of the pattern paper is continuous However I made sure that I left a little bit of a border there at the center to add some interest Now I'm using one of my basic dies My circle die which I'm placing on top I'm going to secure it down with some purple tape only on one side of the flap then open up the card completely run it through my die cutting machine and then I'm going to repeat the same process for the other flap Always make sure that you open up the card as you run it through your die cutting machine since you don't want to make a hole at the back of your card So here I have done my die cutting on one of the flaps Now I'm removing my purple tape so that I can open up the card and run it one more time through my die cutting machine and here is what I end up having Now when I picked the circle die I made sure that that die was slightly bigger than this chipboard embellishment so that I can place it at the center On the inside there is plenty of space to write your personal message I would go with a white gel pen to write it down and then you can keep your card close by tying for example a ribbon just make sure that it matches the colors of your card This is one of those designs that really showcase the beautiful design of a patterned paper since you don't really cover it up with anything and it is the star of the card For the next card I'm going to combine those two patterned papers Mix and match die cut shapes as well as chipboard embellishments to create a little cluster So you can see the process here how I'm playing with different chipboard elements so I'm sticking the sentiment on top of that frame and now I'm trying to decide whether I want the whole patterned paper at the back or just a piece of it So decided only to back the frame and that's why I'm pressing it hard These stickers are not very sticky so they are really forgiving but if you want to make sure that they are going to stay put I would suggest to add a little bit of glue like I am doing here just to make sure that this is not going to go anywhere I also picked up a few of the leaves which I am going to stick underneath I also picked up a few of the leaves which I am going to tag underneath the sentiment and I have a piece of cardstock here which is a leftover from the second card I believe I am placing it at the center and then on top I am going to add the little frame that I created Again using foam tape at the back just because I love dimension and now I want to baste it a little bit more and add even more stickers So here I am using one that says timeless and I am also going to stick down one of those cutouts that says good things and I also created this fishtail rimball out of the gold cardstock and when you are creating clusters like that it is always nice to use a glue at the back instead of a tape adhesive this is more forgiving and you can move things around before the glue is completely dry if you are not happy with the placement Now I am adding some finishing touches some pink gemstones from the kit and I didn't like the black strip as it is at the moment so here is where I decided that I need to turn it into a fishtail so that it matches my gold ribbon Now my panel is ready all I have to do is to stick it on top of one of my card bases and here are some close up photos and finally let's move on to the last card for today where I am going to demonstrate how we can put together the letter board using the dies from the kit so I have cut out the borders out of gold cardstock and the inside pieces out of white cardstock I am adding tape adhesive at the back of those panels and I love the tape that was included in the kit just because it is very thin and it fits nicely at the back and now it is really easy to put everything together just remove the tape stick the first one on top of the white piece I am going to add the borders on the left and on the right and then I will continue at the back adding one white piece underneath another and of course I decided to have my letter board white with gold frame but you can go with black letter board if you want to and add white letters on top it really depends on your design and here is how my letter board looks like I used the dies from the kit to cut out letters and I want to spell enjoy the ride the fun part about this is that you can spell out anything you like you can see here my method of sticking them down with glue but of course you can use some double sided adhesive at the back of your paper before you cut out the letters so turn them into stickers if you think that is easier I used glue at the back of my letter board and I am going to stick that on top of this pattern paper and to embellish it I am going to use the bicycle the dies also and give you flowers as well as leaves that you can cut out if you want to I am going to finish off my card by adding some of the golden stars as well as one of the sentiments that says this is my happy and that finishes the last card for today in the close up photos you will be able to see a better look on that letter board and imagine how gorgeous it would look if it was black with white letters on top So let's take a quick look on all the 6 cards that I created for today using products from the card kit of the month by Spellbinders I hope you had fun that you got inspired to create some fun cards using die cuts and pattern paper Don't forget you will find the full list of all the supplies down below in the description area just like always Thank you all so much for joining me today and I'll see you all next time


Hello, I'm Juno and today we'll be talking about modeling strategic trust in ad hoc IOT networks a Little bit about me. My name is Juno. I work as a red team consultant and I do security research I actually moved to Dallas from Alaska in 2018 and since them then have become heavily involved in the Dallas hacker community I got my start doing public speaking at Dallas Hackers Association, and I currently run DC 214 Dallas's DEFCON group Outside of the community. I also volunteer and teach with girls who code black girls code and Through some of the local schools. I've got my bachelor's degree in computer science and economics And I'm currently getting my graduate degree through NYU my contact information is up there if you have any questions Or want to know more about game theory? so what actually is game theory game theory is the interdisciplinary marriage of Statistics and behavioral economics. It's actually been used throughout history to model Strategy and choices during times of conflict and competition Game theorists or the Pentagon start the Pentagon really started hiring game theorists during the Cold War And now we'll actually see game theorists on staff Analyzing strategy at the Pentagon the NFL banks and throughout the globe Now there are a couple key points. We're going to want to keep in mind during this talk First of all is how economists define rationality is a little bit different than how Anyone else would rationality in economics is doing what's best for oneself every single time And this is how we and we need we need we need this to start modeling pay We need this definition to start modeling payoffs for rational actors The game is just the interaction that we'll be modeling and the players are the ones doing the interaction Whether those are individuals or devices and another idea We have to keep in mind is an idea of incomplete information where players are playing but they're they may not necessarily know Everything about the game that they're playing So a little bit of a roadmap We're actually going to start off with a common game theory example the prisoner's dilemma to sort of get into how we determine payoffs and how we break Down some of these scenarios in step-by-step to determine how choices are made and what the logical outcomes of the games actually are Next we'll actually take this to our case study on dynamic ad hoc networks based off of Based off of 5g vehicle networks We're going to start by again by defining payoffs and building out of decision made decision tree and matrix sees and Well after defining the payoffs we'll start to solve for the equilibrium's which are the logical outcomes of the game and see how players Choices informed those of others Our first example is the prisoner's dilemma And this is actually one of the most common game theory examples If you've ever opened an intro to psych or philosophy textbook or watched the pilot of pretty much any cop show You'll have seen the prisoner's dilemma before but in case you're not In case you're not familiar with it two individuals are arrested after committing a crime And they're separated and offered a deal Confess a choice that will call defect and only their partner will be charged or Stay silent a choice that will call cooperate If however, if both players defect both players are charged if both cooperate even without communication both get a lighter sentence and Here I've drawn a payoff matrix for our prisoner's dilemma with our with our players Alice and Bob Alice and Bob both have the choices to cooperate or defect Now a little bit about where these numbers came from each number just represents the amount of relative good to that player So for example if Alice chooses defect defect while Bob chooses to cooperate She gets that payoff of two which is the best possible outcome for her as a rational actor. That's the payoff she gets By getting by going free while similarly Bob gets the payoff of negative one the worst possible outcome or Being locked up Now this is just an example to show modeling This one scenario obviously doesn't Describe and all of the implications of the prisoner's dilemma. However, if you're interested in learning more about that, please check out my adversary village talk Now because Alice and Bob are separated they have no idea what each other is has chosen or is going to choose Essentially this game is played simultaneously each player makes their decision Independent of the other so all they have to go off of is what they believe their opponent will do So if Alice believes that Bob will choose to cooperate She'll choose to defect for that highest higher payoff of two Similarly if she believes Bob will choose to defect she'll choose to defect as well for that higher payoff of zero and Because Bob is in the exact same situation and has the exact same payoffs He will make the same choices as well choosing to defect it in either scenario This means the choice the outcome where both players defect is our Nash equilibrium That's the logical outcome of the game where players Where players analyze their their individual situation and make logical decisions best based on that Now obviously this is actually not the best outcome of game for anyone When both players choose to cooperate we have what's called the Pareto optimal outcome an outcome that is actually better for both players So what is the takeaway from this example? First of all is that the rational outcome is not always the best But this is meant to this is really meant to show an Example of how we can quantify motivations and break down each part of the interaction in order to determine what the rational strategy is And of course one thing we have to keep in mind especially for human-based games such as the prisoner's dilemma is In real life, of course, this doesn't happen in a vacuum But it's still it still provides a good example for quantifying motivations and beginning to model rational strategy So now we'll be looking at cooperation between vehicular nodes on an ad hoc network Devices have the option to continuously share mutually beneficial information And here we see direct object-to-object communication Which means we must establish that this communication is trusted in the scenario There's also so there's also not a trusted third party and Sharing resources comes with a risk this raises questions about trust and security that need to be addressed before the type of network is deployed at a wide scale And there are a few Functions of this type of network that are important for our model. These networks are dynamic vehicles enter and exit after every interaction And there's no end user configuration for this As devices enter and leave the network. It's not a human initiated process Interaction is direct between vehicular devices and therefore has to be strategic is devices have to judge trustworthiness and This sort of setup facilitates deception First of all information lacks permanence because vehicles are moving on and off the network after every interaction There's often no repeated interaction between between nodes Additionally because the devices are communicating directly, there's not a trusted third party watching this communication So here's our payoff matrix For our vehicular nodes now what we're actually going to look at is the choices of a vehicle receiving Incoming data transmission the choice to accept or deny it and We'll actually have just the choice be by nature Whether this node that are receiving vehicle is interacting with is good or malicious Now of course if the receiving vehicle believes that the sender is good It will choose to accept the incoming data. They believe it's malicious then it will choose to deny Unlike in our prisoner's element example, we don't end up with a rational equilibrium So I actually took our payoff matrix and built it out into a decision tree The first move up at the top here is simply a move by nature nature determines at m percent whether a Sending node is malicious or non malicious Next is the choice of the sender the sender can choose to set to send data along or not and Next is the choice of the receiver to accept the data or not now notice the line between my receiver nodes here This is because this is a game with incomplete information the receiver only knows that it has received data It doesn't know whether the data came from a good or malicious sender So this line between the two nodes represents the fact that the receiver doesn't actually know where it is in the decision tree When it makes this decision So we're actually going to start by finding the expected payoff to each of the different players So the expected value to our receiver is going to be equal to m the percent likelihood that the other player is malicious multiplied by the payoff a receiver gets from receiving data from a malicious sender and That's going to be that negative payoff negative one payoff that we see on the decision the decision tree here Plus one minus m or the likelihood that the other player is not malicious multiplied by the payoff the receiver gets for receiving data from a good sender or that payoff of one that we see down here on the decision tree and We have a we can use this to determine the expected payoff for a good sender Now if you look at the decision tree will note that the payoff a good sender gets for not sending a Message zero is actually the same the sender gets for sending a message that is accepted So why would senders be motivated to send data in the first place? Well, that's because the the vast majority of the sender's Expected value actually comes from the potential payoff that it will receive from receiving information in return from the node that it sent data to you in The original interaction So the expected value to our good sender is actually going to be equal to a The likelihood that the receiver accepts the message multiplied by rs, which is actually a constant Based on the percent likelihood that the other player replies with data And are the likelihood that the other player stays on the network after this first interaction Multiplied by the expected value our sender receives or the expected value our sender will get as a receiver in the next interaction plus one minus a the likelihood that The data is not accepted by the receiver plus the payoff our good sender gets for Sending data that's not accepted that payoff of negative one that we say see here on the decision tree And last but not least we can also calculate the expected payoff to a malicious sender The expected value to a malicious sender of sending along data is going to be equal to a the likelihood that that data is accepted multiplied by the payoff our malicious sender gets for sending data that is received that payoff of one Plus one minus a or the likelihood that the receiver does not accept the message multiplied by the payoff our malicious sender gets For sending a message that's not received that payoff of negative one So now that we've determined the potential payoffs For each of our players we can start to look for a rational outcome to our game in equilibria And the way we're going to do that is actually through trial and error So we're going to start by looking to see if a separating equilibria works a separating equilibria is just where different players different types of players choose to do different things and We would have two possible to two possible separating equilibria One where good senders send data and malicious senders do not Now in this scenario receivers would choose to receive all messages if a hundred percent of them of data being transmitted comes from a good sender Then receivers would accept a hundred percent of the time however, if receiving nodes were accepting incoming data a hundred percent of the time our malicious senders Would she would choose to set would choose to would choose to send data as well in order to get that In order to get that higher payoff for having sent malicious data that was accepted than the payoff for having sent nothing So this this ends this isn't a logical outcome isn't an outcome at all and the separating equilibria fails similarly our other separating equilibria fails in a similar way if Malicious senders choose to send data and good senders do not then receiving nodes will Will choose to not accept data a hundred percent of the time and if this is happening It's not going to be worth it for those malicious nodes to send data in the first place So they will choose not so they will not send So this this separating equilibria fails as well because it's not a viable outcome So now we're going to look for a pooling equilibria Where all senders choose to send messages and senders are going to be malicious and percent of the time Receivers are going to choose to accept messages a percent of the time So our expected payoff to the receiver is going to be m multiplied by negative one That payoff they get from receiving from a malicious sender Plus one minus m the likelihood the sender is not malicious Multiplied by one the payoff the receiver gets from receiving data from a good sender And this actually simplifies down to one minus two at and We can We can do the same thing to find the payoff for a non-malicious sender The expected value is going to be equal to a Multiplied by our constant rs the likelihood that the receiver Stays on the network for another interaction interaction and sends data in return multiplied by the payoff The sending node would get being a receiver in the future Plus one minus a the likelihood the data is not accepted multiplied by the payoff of sending data that's not accepted And that simplifies down to this so When we look at our so when we look at our expected value to our receivers we can we can compare the expected value of Accepting a message the expected value of not which is always zero and If we graph this we find that the they intersected m is equal to point five So if m is less than 50 percent meaning less than 50 percent of sending nodes are malicious then the expected value The expected value to receiver To of accepting is higher than the expected value of not accepting and if more than 50 percent of Sending nodes are malicious the expected value of not accepting is higher than the expected value of accepting Where at m equals 50 percent the receiving node it is actually forced into indifference so as m increases the expected value of accepting a message and Therefore the value of a The likelihood that the receiver will choose to accept the incoming message decreases And we can do the same thing for our expected values who are malicious senders When we graph when we graph it against a we find we find that as As a increases the likelihood the message accepts so does the expected value to a malicious sender of sending data When a is greater than 50 percent It's worth it for a malicious sender to send data when a is less than 50 percent It isn't the expected value of not sending is higher than the expected value of sending And when a is equal to 50 percent when receivers are accepting 50 percent of the time again These malicious senders are actually forced into indifference And what's cool is actually when we begin to compare or is now when we compare that to our payoff for Our good senders Which ends up which ends up being based directly on the Directly on the payoffs for our malicious senders and receivers As m increases the expected payoff for good senders decrease or decreases And as a increases the payoff for good senders increases So the actions of the other players is what ultimately informs What how often good senders are going to send data In conclusion, humanity kind of messed up when we decided that the computers should be talking to each other And then again when we decided that they should be talking to each other directly and making their own decisions about who to trust So in conclusion determining trust is complex in the best of scenarios And even more complex in a dynamic network without a trusted third party to inform the players We can use a game theoretic approach to mathematically motivate trust and cooperation Each node must look at the expected value that comes from each interaction And this judgment is directly informed by the interactions of the other players on the network A couple questions I'm commonly asked is where do the payoffs come from And I would say determining payoffs is actually one of the hardest parts of game theory The payoffs I've used in these examples I put together myself to make the math come out clean and hopefully easy enough to follow But when determining payoffs in real world scenarios I often try to rank the outcomes for each player Because the number really stands for the amount of good that each player gets from each potential outcome Now of course there are a lot of limitations to this Often players especially in human based games can have unknown motivations that we aren't able to account for So there is a lot of trial and error in building up accurate models And this kind of ties into can this be used practically Because as these examples get more real world they get more and more complicated And the answer is yes, maybe I can't write it out by hand But there are a lot of people using computers to use game theory to model these interactions even more accurately And here I have some of my sources
