There are at least 33 carcinogens in marijuana smoke, such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, which are products of combustion found in grilled meat, and flowing through the bodies of those who smoke marijuana, similar to what one sees flowing through the bodies of cigarette smokers. That's really remarkable. Most tobacco users inhale way more smoke into their lungs over the course of a day, so on a puff-by-puff basis, is marijuana smoke really that much worse? While it does seem to contain more benzopyrene and benzanthrosine, which are polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon pro-carcinogens compared to unfiltered cigarette smoke, but it may just be that cannabis users inhale more deeply and then hold the smoke in longer, which can end up depositing four times more tar in the lungs, amplifying exposure to these carcinogens. And unfortunately, bubbling the smoke through water, like in a bong, does not appear to reduce the risks of tar build-up. Yeah, marijuana smoke tar may have similar tumor-promoting effects as cigarette smoke in mice, but what about in men and women? Long-time marijuana users do have more cancer, more lung cancer, more oral cancer, voice box cancer, but only, it seems, as they also tend to be more likely to also smoke tobacco. After cigarettes are taken out of the equation, no increased risk was found. Same with head and neck cancer. One study found increased risk, but five studies reported no association. One study found decreased risk. So yeah, regular use causes airway injury that can lead to chronic bronchitis, but no evidence of long-term lung damage, like emphysema, and despite the presence of carcinogenic components, no apparent increased risk of lung cancer, though evidence is mixed regarding the risk of heavy long-term use, and that may be the crocs. In terms of smoke exposure, even smoking a joint every day for 10 years may only translate to six months of pack-a-day cigarette smoking. In most studies on tobacco smoking and lung cancer, six months in a lifetime might get you classified as a never smoker. It may take a couple years of cigarette smoking to significantly bump lung cancer risk, and so that would be like smoking a joint every day of your adult life. No wonder we can't find a lung cancer link with casual marijuana use, though there is an alternative explanation. Maybe the anti-tumor effects of the cannabis plant is counteracting the tumor-promoting effects of the carcinogens in the smoke. Wait, anti-tumor effects? Yes. In fact, the original demonstration of an anti-cancer effect, dating back to 1975, was against lung cancer cells, showing that THC can suppress their growth in a petri dish. This kind of data has led to wild claims of cancer cures on the internet, strapling the results of this pre-clinical work, meaning like in petri dishes and test tubes, to humans without any basis. In fact, as cannabis, according to this 2016 review, has not been studied clinically as a treatment for malignancy in people. But that's not really true.  We'll find out what they found next.


why the narcissist treats you worse than everyone else so you look around you see the narcissist maybe with their family their friends the co-workers whoever it may be and you just you think to yourself can't we be like that why can't they be that way with me and it just makes you wonder why because you just can't understand it they act a fool with you and yet you see them with everyone else and they're okay and very friendly kind and agreeable but then when they get back with you maybe you get back in the car or when you get home it's like they're a completely different person and you just don't understand why you just can't make sense of it because why do they have to be like that with you when they could be fine with everyone else they get along fine with other people just not with you and I'm here to give you the answers today I could tell you that the reason why they treat you worse than everyone else is because you are the closest person to them they're always around you more than anyone else and they can only keep up their act for a certain amount of time but with other people they're not around them as much they only see them for a short time so they can give them the false self the fake version those other people never get to see what they really like they don't see what they do into you behind closed doors and even if you try to bring that to their attention they won't believe it because all they see is the false self of the narcissist that's all that they get to witness so you get the real version of them everyone else gets the fake version because if that was not the real version then a normal person they wouldn't be able to do that they wouldn't be able to treat a person in that way there would be a cutoff point for the abuse where they would begin to self-reflect where they would begin to realize that what they're doing is wrong but as we know narcissists do not have that they are self-absorbed and they lack empathy so there's no cutoff point for the abuse they can abuse you every day and they feel like what they're doing is okay they feel like it's justified but deep down they do know that it's wrong and that is why they keep code of silence that's why they have these two sides of them the dr. Jekyll and mr. Hyde they have what they show to you which is the real version of them and then is what they show to everyone else which is the false self but sometimes you get to witness that as well in public when you're around other people and I get it I understand I know that it hurts I know what it feels like when you have to see them interact with other people and they're so kind and friendly they're cooperative and you just wish that they could be like that with you because that's what you're about you're about something productive you want to move things forward you want to establish something in the future but as we know that all starts by building something in the present and you want to do that with the narcissist but you feel like you can't and you observe the way they interact with other people and it just makes you wonder why but that's just that that's the disorder what you get from them is a disorder that's how they function their way of functioning is by dysfunction in incompetency a lack of progression and productivity they cannot succeed in anything for a long period of time and that is why you will never win with a narcissist you can take some time to yourself and you can win on your own or with someone else but you cannot win with a narcissist over a long period of time you may get the appearance the illusion of success in the beginning but it will always fall apart in the end and that is how it looks like they have especially you're dealing with a real narcissist it looks like they have a lot of success sometimes in their career because they have a lot of enablers they have a lot of people who are willing to take the fall for them and they also step on people's heads to get ahead but not only that in their relationships whether it's their family their friends their co-workers whoever it is it looks like they have a lot of success there but they don't tend to deal with those people every day well even if they do they can hold in that anger frustration bitterness or resentments until they come around you and then they take it out on you and that is why in fact sometimes the most successful relationships can be when two narcissists are together those relationships can appear to be very successful because instead of them abusing each other they find a target outside of the relationship usually multiple targets and they take it out on them they abuse the people around them and it tends to be that a lot of people despise them but then they keep the peace between each other and that is how their relationship manages to thrive but it's really just an illusion anyway because there is no real connection they bond over other people's destruction and nothing can grow from that nothing real anyway but yeah I understand a lot of you when you see that of course it may upset you it may make you feel insecure it may even make you jealous I can tell you that there is nothing for you to be jealous of because everything they're doing the solution of them cooperating and trying to build with someone else that's all it is it's an illusion it's an orchestration and you need to remind yourself you need to trust your own intuition because you know what they're really like based upon how they have treated you you can't just treat someone like that and then move on and build things with someone else it does not work that way it just doesn't and they try to do that and they can create the illusion because they're not really investing that much of themselves it's only for a short time which is why you will find that a lot of the people they're dealing with it's really just acquaintances there's no real deeper meaningful relationship there tends to be based on superficial things and those people don't really know the narcissist not like you do they haven't seen what you've seen but then you have to consider that some of them may be narcissists as well and that's when the narcissist may remove the mask even around them because they know that those people may be tolerant of them abusing you and they may even bond over that the narcissist knows when to let their hair down they know they know when they're going to get away with things they know when other people are just like them but I'd say that's why they treat you worse than anyone else because you are the closest person to them you're always around them you know what they're about you've already seen underneath the mask you've caught on to them figure them out so what is the point in them giving you the illusion when they know that you're not even going to believe it what is the point in them trying to manipulate someone investing all of their time effort and energy when they know you're not even going to be susceptible to it they will only make the effort if they know that you are going to fall for it or at least if they have the inclination that you might otherwise they're not going to bother they're not going to waste their time they'll save that for someone else someone who will believe it and that is why they treat you worse than anyone else now let's come out the shadows and enjoy this beach for a moment took me about seven hours of driving to get here never been to this part of the country I've really enjoyed it so far as you can see here in this direction we've got Thailand straight ahead we have Vietnam Cambodia Philippines Laos and then Bali Indonesia this way it's a nice beach very calm and peaceful you hear the birds singing in the background seen a few lizards any questions let me know in the live chat down below I will respond to it I will answer it the best that I can see if I can sit on the swing slowly carry my weight I don't want to ruin the experience with someone else something I really like about swings don't know what it is it just brings me to a state of calm it's just the swing in motion just resets my energy it's nice let me know if you have any questions down below I will answer them now just gonna take this moment to relax on this swing and I hope you enjoy it too it's very peaceful let's come back to the shade it's quite difficult to see the screen out here all of the sun okay let's see the questions here John Tracy says jealous of a illusion yes that is really it's you know if you're dealing with a narcissist toxic person whatever it may be you will only ever be jealous of an illusion because that's the whole point that's where they create the orchestration because it's not even real it's sole purpose it's only intended to manipulate you to get a reaction out of you it has no other purpose other than that and that is their motivation their incentive because they're actually deeply dissatisfied with it they just use tool to get response from you because when you're really satisfied with something when you're really having a good time you don't need to broadcast it you don't need to show everyone you can just enjoy it on your own you don't need other people to live by curiously through it the only reason why narcissists have to broadcast it and put it on put on a show is because that's the only way that they can find fulfillment from it they can't get it directly it doesn't do anything for them if they can make other people envy and want it then it tells them they have something to value but they can't see the value in it on their own it doesn't do anything for them so yeah you're right that's all it really is your jealous of an illusion if you are jealous but you shouldn't be because there is nothing actually there the only thing that really exists that is in your imagination which means that it doesn't even exist at all it's something you're generating from your own mind it has no basis in reality and many of you you're doing the work on your own Chetan asks why my ex tried to close with my ex after rejecting I criticize her bad behavior sorry I don't really understand what you're asking there please try to rephrase it for me hanging with the girls asks which country did you like best Bali or Thailand you know I haven't actually been to Bali yet I was going to go a few years ago but then I couldn't go because of the COVID but I have been all over Thailand and I can say that it was an amazing experience features food obviously the girls as well just all around memorable experience I really enjoyed but I haven't been to Bali yet hopefully I will go in the future sometime I would like to see it Tallulah asks what is your reasonable amount of time to heal from Enoch after after you discard them well that really depends on what happens following the discard because if you discard them they're not just gonna let you go so easily they're going to hold on to you for dear life especially if you were the grade a primary source of supply they're not just gonna let you go they're gonna make your life hell so until all of that is over you're not really going to fully heal I mean you might get to a certain level but you're not going to be completely at peace completely at rest but once you have completely detached and they've left you alone I would say that it might take between six months to one year until you really start to feel like you have healed but that's just based on my opinion that's not factual information they may be different for different people depends on your own individual circumstances and also it depends on how damaging and destructive the narcissist was that you were dealing with that plays a big part in it I mean if you were just dealing with a low level narcissist compared with a malignant narcissist or psychopath of course there's gonna be a difference in the damage that you experience and endured so it's important to keep that in consideration as well hanging with the girls if you have been no contact for three years by that time generally I would say that you should have healed by now I would say that I mean of course it does depend on your individual situation and the narcissist that you were dealing with but three years that is quite some time so I would advise for you to seek support from a therapist or coach someone that you can talk to most importantly someone who understands someone who has experienced this themselves and they've been through it and they've reached a certain level of healing I am also available for one-on-one coaching and you can book that from my website which is naksa-fiver.co.uk Tiffany asks where are you I'm in San Diego California and it's dark here that's cool I've never been to California or anywhere in the US but I would love to go one day let's just say that I am in paradise somewhere I can't tell you where exactly but in time you will find out on my Instagram Talula yeah it's been three years and I'm finally rebuilding financially but not emotionally yeah I mean that's definitely a part of it I mean financial abuse is a big thing especially with narcissists even though they may not actually need your money it's more about power and control because they're very insecure and they have low self-esteem so they will try to control you financially and they will try to damage you in that way as well because they just want to feel like they exist they want to feel like they matter to someone and they know they can't do that the right way with you so they have to do it by trying to damage you to leave an imprint on your mind negative impact but once you start to rebuild your finances that will help you know especially if money is important to you and to what you're trying to build in your life then of course it is very important for you to do that we've got a few people here in California I haven't really got any experience there I do have some contacts from California as you may know one of my clients is a West Hollywood director and he's directed some shows for National Geographic it's a great guy he also had a bad experience with a divorce with a narc we all go through it you know from different parts of the world different walks of life it's always pretty much the same experience I mean I saw the numbers the statistics just for the US alone there's meant to be over 140 million victims of narcissistic abuse and consider that there are also many other disorders out there you know this is on a mass scale this is not an isolated incident for you and I'm sure you can see that just by looking at the numbers of my channel I've got with 40 million views 165,000 subscribers and I am far from the biggest channel talking about this I think it's Dr. Ramani she has over 1 million subscribers so just let that sink in and know that you are not alone that is an important thing for you to remember and I don't want that to invalidate your experience in any way or the significance of it of course it was bad what was done to you did not deserve that but turn it into something positive and use it to make you stronger don't let it break you down because that that is exactly what they want want to see you broken down to where you can't move on where you can't progress or achieve anything in your life this is your life and you came here for a reason you came here with a purpose to be great so you keep on doing that don't stop anyway head to the car not only the car but most gonna head back to the cats who is in the car she has been waiting for me while I've been filming this video here been having such great time actually forgot about it for a moment BMW you know how I do you know when I like great car they they give me a really good one this time this is the new design with the rear spoiler blacked out windows bbs alloys of course Michelin tires that standard and blue brake calipers which I was surprised to see but I appreciate that as well yeah I'm just out here living my best life and that's not to say that my life is perfect it's not I've been through so many things in my time so many ups and downs and I wouldn't change any of it I regret nothing and I am thankful for all of my experiences because they made me the man that I am today what you see right now all of my experiences both good and bad it made me who I am as I can honestly say that I am extremely proud of the man that I have become and there were times of my life where I never thought that I would be able to say that even to myself let alone to thousands of people who are watching a video on YouTube and I know that in time if you're not there yet you will get to this point you will you just have to try to see the good in every situation because it's always there doesn't matter what it is doesn't matter how bad it is there's always something positive that is always an option for you everyone you always come to a fork in the road with any experience especially the negative it all depends on what you take from it as I've said before and as I will always say there could be two people going for the exact same situation they just choose to deal with it differently and then they get a different result one person could get a negative result the other person get something positive it all depends on their mindset is it the defeatist mindset always it's something more positive and productive and I'm sure there's many people who well I know there are many people who have been in similar situations as mine and they had a different mindset maybe a mindset that I had in the past defeatist pessimistic and I can be sure that thousands of people around the world who went from similar things that I did they killed themselves they took their own lives maybe they killed someone else who knows what they did but it wasn't good and I took a different road I took a different path and that is why you can see that I'm out here living my best life I'm happy I'm smiling my skin is glowing I'm driving a BMW with my cat and I'm just doing what I want to do most importantly and I should repeat that I'm just doing what I want to do because a lot of people in this world they're not doing what they want to do they're doing what they've been told and that is the most important thing to follow your own purpose to follow what's inside your heart because when you do that you will never go wrong you will never go wrong because that is what you're supposed to do and when you do that it will feel right and then you will develop that confidence in yourself I can barely read anything in the live chat right now because the Sun is so strong but I'm just out here and I'm giving it to you I'm giving it to you hard right now and I know that you're enjoying it and you're taking it in and it's resonating with you as it should be and yeah I'm just so happy to share this message today that's why I've been on you now over 30 minutes and I hope it inspires you I hope it motivates you to become the best version of yourself and not let anyone tear you down because that is what this is about I don't want to see anyone being teared down by no one I want to build you up and I want everything to become better for you because that is ultimately why we find these videos because something is wrong there is a problem things aren't going right and of course I know that I've been there myself many times but yeah that's it I'm gonna head back in the car continue on the rest of my journey with Nala if you found this video helpful as always please give it a thumbs up down below helps to support our community share the video subscribe and if you'd like to book a one-on-one with me you can do that from my website it is naksa-viva.co.uk and also check out my Instagram I'm gonna get back in now put this on as always report I appreciate you all I look forward to talking with you again very soon


We have seen a few examples already. So, this is one very relevant example. Can anybody recognize this system? Do you know what this system is? What is what is this dynamics of? Yeah, this is a damp pendulum. Standard pendulum that we will see invariably they are damped right, there is friction at the joint. So, I cheated because otherwise I would have to do hard work like this to prove good things ok. I would have to construct functions like these and all yeah that is why I have introduced another term here right. If you see typically a pendulum will have dynamics x 1 dot is x 2, x 2 dot is minus sign x 1 minus x 2. So, it is a non-linear oscillator actually it is a non-linear oscillator. So, but I have introduced this minus sign x 1 yeah because it will make my analysis simpler yeah otherwise basically it becomes complicated to follow. I mean I can do the analysis, but you will just say why are we talking about such complicated things in class which you cannot follow that is more of an assignment thing that you can try alright. So, what is the Lyapunov candidate in this case is this guy. Anybody recognize what this is? Anyway what is this? For the pendulum system what do you think this is? This function 1 minus cosine x 1 plus half x 2 square energy exactly just think pendulum x 1 is this theta angle. So, 1 minus cos x 1 is the potential energy and half x 2 square is the kinetic energy x 1 is theta x 2 is theta dot.   This is the energy of the system in this case alright. The more complicated thing is to discuss the definiteness of this.  No does not become negative. So, one thing is evident it is 0 at 0 yeah x 1 0 x 2 0 this is 0 good thing yeah because 0 0 equilibrium is what we are thinking about yeah this is the equilibrium the downward equilibrium is what we are interested in great. Now what happens if I take x 1 to be arbitrary is that notice how do we check for positive definiteness? We check where it becomes 0 and if any of those points are non-zero states then we have a problem ok. So, this becomes 0 whenever 1 minus cosine x 1 becomes 0 and 1 minus cosine x 1 will become 0 at all 2 and pi all 2 and pi 1 minus cosine x 1 will become 0. So, for the simpler case at x 1 equal to 2 pi which is this position this is theta equal to 0 this is theta equal to no not this position right coming back to this position yeah. So, see this is another thing about using Lyapunov functions and working in Euclidean space actually the system is not in really Euclidean space yeah because this is an angle yeah it is just when you say 2 pi physically it is the same configuration, but the Lyapunov function and the system does not recognize all this ok does not recognize that this is not the same configuration. So, when I look at x 1 equal to 2 pi this is still 0. So, for all states of the form 2 and pi comma 0 this is 0. So, this is not positive definite globally yeah like Vidya Sagar likes to say LTDF and PDF this is not PDF this is only LTDF that is locally positive definite actually we have only defined locally positive definite. So, now this is the case where we have to define a BR a ball of radius R around the equilibrium what is the ball of radius R we want x 1 to lie between this and x 2 can be anything ok this is a funny looking ball not a ball at all, but I hope you understand there is something local about this yeah in one axis if you draw it it is like in one axis it is only this much and in x 2 axis it can go anywhere this cylinder actually cannot go further here. So, minus pi and pi here, but in x 2 you can do whatever this is x 1 ok if you are not comfortable with this cylinder you can take x 2 to in inside whatever minus R to R and you are fine you can actually make a ball yeah if this makes you uncomfortable this is fine too ok. So, inside this region minus pi cross pi minus pi comma pi cross R notice the end points are not allowed yeah the important thing to remember whenever I make this is that the equilibrium you are interested in should be within this. So, I mean none of you asked me, but this was also a valid choice right this is a valid choice for when this is positive definite 0 is not included ok. So, this is the sort of a problem yeah and of course, so this is not ok. So, therefore, minus pi to pi is the only reasonable choice you can think about it yeah and remember whenever we make neighborhoods or balls they have to be open sets we discuss this I hope you keep this in mind. Therefore, this has to be open can just say 0 comma 2 pi can be could be SNA not like that. So, it can be 0 comma 2 pi open close or anything like that has to be open at both ends has to be an open set basically. So, this you will see that this is the only reasonable choice because inside this set 0 is the only point where V is easy V is going to be 0 and everywhere else it is going to be strictly positive ok alright great. So, once you verified this fact this is the only problematic thing you can see it is already decrescent it is free because there is no time argument in V. So, V is already decrescent for free you do not have to do any special work there. Now, if I compute V dot as always I will get sin x1 x1 dot from here and x2 x2 dot from here ok. Now, I substitute for x1 dot. So, sin x1 and x1 dot I substitute here and x2 x2 dot I substitute here alright. Again not doing anything too complicated I am simply substituting the derivatives in this case because I have made a hack everything turns out to be nice we will see we will see. Now, if you see this term and this term cancels out yes alright. So, I am left with minus sin squared x1 minus x2 squared yes minus sin squared x1 minus x2 squared both are square terms. So, already I am feeling good yeah alright and now if I look at now I have to test the negative definiteness by the way my domain is fixed I cannot change this now just for V dot I cannot come up with a different one I am restricted to the same BR whatever that R is. So, in this case I have chosen this open set yeah. So, I have to stick with this I know that this is always a negative definite term no problem where can this guy be 0 at x1 equal to n pi x1 equal to n pi ok. So, the only possible candidate within this set is 0 itself yeah because minus pi and pi are not in the set alright. So, this guy is exactly 0 only when x1 and x2 are exactly 0 not 0 anywhere else ok. So, I really hope you are able to capture these subtle points here very subtle, but very key if you miss this your analysis is wrong if you do not give me this minus pi cos comma pi set you cannot prove anything at all that is completely wrong. And if somehow these terms come out so that in this minus pi pi set there are multiple places where this is 0 that is also a problem if something like let us see divided by two kind of a thing happened then what would happen suppose I ask you just to test now what the analysis will go through will it go through good point will it even go through this will become sin x1 by 2 times half there will be a half here and x2 x2 dot will be half here half here half here and a half here this will also have a half now what happens analysis will not go through because of the this term but I can always cheat I like doing that. So, I will make this half ok I just played with the I made things half so that analysis will go through I have just changed the dynamics a little bit there is minus sin x1 by 2 now ok. So, the analysis will go through I can promise you with this dynamics now now what about positive definiteness and so on where is it positive definite now what is the BR all I need is the ball BR what will it be minus 2 pi to 2 pi how are you computing it so you want 1 minus cosine x1 by 2 to be 0 you are looking at where that is 0. So, you want cosine x1 by 2 to be 1 ok where is that x1 by 2 has to be what 2 and pi 2 and pi is that correct ok so 4 4 and pi 4 and pi ok. So, or if you think of it as it will be if you think of it as plus minus then it is plus minus 2 pi. So, basically this set will become minus 2 pi to 2 pi ok. So, this analysis is sort of expanding things ok expanding where you can work with minus 2 pi to 2 pi which is more or less going to cover everything I guess minus 2 pi to 2 pi will have 0 also and will also have pi ok funny. So, this makes it nicer actually if I do x1 by 2. So, if it so happened that your harmonic oscillator had x1 by 2 instead of x1 then this pi thing. So, the pi thing will not be an equilibrium at all right if you look at the equilibrium of this guy ok. What is the equilibrium x2 equal to 0 is an equilibrium and sin x1 by 2 is an equilibrium has to be sin x1 by 2 equal to 0 is an equilibrium. So, either x1 has to be 0 or x1 has to be 2 pi which is the same as 0. So, if I modified this pendulum equation in this way then this inverted position is not an equilibrium at all. It is only this position and this position ok. Is that clear? Just by making x1 to be x1 by 2 ok I am going to erase this sorry alright. It was just to minus pi to pi will still work the only thing is you have yeah I was I was expecting a more shorter more constricted region turned out to be the other way around. But minus pi to pi will still work the only thing is you have given a smaller range right. I mean see whenever you talk about locals when you say that it is stable asymptotically stable in this case it turns out to be asymptotically stable right. Of course, it is not global remember non-linear system not global in fact in this case pi is also an equilibrium I remember I told you if you have multiple equilibria then global is not possible just like in optimization. So, it is fine but whenever you give local results it is you want to give as large a region as possible not the smallest one or not anyone you try to get the largest one ok alright. Now there is another example here anyway. So, this is but before that I want to you to remember that there is also notions of converse Lyapunov theorems which essentially says that there exists a Lyapunov function for every stable system ok. So, remember in these Lyapunov theorems I mentioned that this is a candidate Lyapunov function. Once this candidate Lyapunov function satisfies any one of these results then it is called a Lyapunov function ok. So, this is a candidate satisfying any of these it becomes a Lyapunov function ok. So, what does the converse Lyapunov theorem typically says it says that if it is if the equilibrium is stable then there exists some v t x positive definite c 1 such that the Lyapunov theorem is satisfied ok. So, there do exist converse Lyapunov theorem the problem is they are not constructive it is not that the using the theorem you will be able to construct a Lyapunov function yeah. So, it is as good as I mean it is a nice mathematical result but it is not going to help you construct anything ok. So, actually so you can think of it as an if and only if condition the problem is you will never be able to get a v out of this converse. So, therefore, you are still left with trying to hunt for the best Lyapunov candidate possible ok. Any questions? Yes, yes. What will leave the minus pi to pi bound? Yes, absolutely it is a very good point. So, whenever I remember whenever I give this ball of region R ball of size R or whatever domain I give you yeah or the domain you come up with to ensure positive definiteness of this v and so on and so forth yeah. You implicitly assume that your system trajectories always remain within this ball ok. This is an implicit assumption it is not being given to you for free or anything like that. So, yes those are not allowed those are excluded ok. So, yes if you want you can make this R to be something smaller yeah, but then that will depend on I mean you can understand right. I cannot solve this system to actually come up with that R would be virtually impossible I mean this is the simplest non-linear system, but you know if you get to even little bit more you still definitely would not be able to solve to get such an R. So, it is an implicit assumption that this R is there, but then again in a lot of these cases just like here if this was any Br yeah all these results would go through because the second term has no impact on definiteness. So, for any bound you choose on your theta dot the results will go through. So, it is sort of you know you will still get your stability is what I am saying, but yes I do agree that you will get out of this, but one of the other things that I would like to also say is that I am not missing anything here right by doing minus pi and pi, pi is the only one that I am missing and there is no choice, but to miss pi remember without missing pi I am including the other equilibrium in my analysis there is no way you will be able to prove even stability after that because now your domain contains both equilibrium yeah. So, missing pi is not a choice yeah I am very carefully missing pi here. So, that this equilibrium does not because you know for sure that if I start at this equilibrium and there is no disturbance or anything yeah, then it is never coming back here it is staying here. So, therefore, no question of stability right. So, therefore, this is a problem point and so I have to have to have to miss that point.


disadvantages of having a big open floor plan two-story house is when there's a fly in the house it's a lot harder to catch because yeah the ceiling goes up pretty high. And we had Lily here and she was following the fly around trying to catch it too and that wasn't helpful. At some point we gave up and we knew it would turn up somewhere. He did. Good morning. It's Sunday morning. It's just before 10 a.m. You can tell we'd live next to the woods and it's spring. Bees are buzzing, spiders are web making. We got kind of a fairly large one in the upstairs. Well on the staircase in a corner. Yeah some allergic to arachnid venom but they don't send me screaming or anything.   Anyway husband got him. We are gonna go out this morning and run a couple of errands. It's Game of Thrones day of course. So the kids are all coming over including Gunjan, a good friend of the kids. And he's in town visiting so they're all coming over for dinner and to watch Game of Thrones and hang out. I'm taking an Etsy order to the mailbox. Yeah we'll get our week started. Three big paintings are coming along. They're not done. I need to add some contrast. Darker colors, brighter colors. I think I want to add the suggestions of trees. I double-checked with my husband. He is agreeing with me. He likes more realistic paintings. Then I like to paint but a happy compromise for him is the suggestion of trees. So we'll go with that. Anyway it's a beautiful day out. Bright blue sky. Nice and sunny. Yeah it'll be good. All right I'll be back. It's Monday morning May 6th. Don't get all excited. I've been up for a while and the contractor starts today on the outside of the house. We're having the outside of the house painted and some electrical work done and that sort of thing. As you heard just putting up the computer. Yes I'm breathing a little heavy. I had to take an allergy pill this morning. So you know I do have asthma so. Anyway I'm waiting for the contractor to get here and going through my normal morning routine while I'm waiting. It's 7 39 a.m. according to said computer. I'm gonna get my typing done and the social media thing. Check on YouTube comments and then I've got some errands to run. So I'm gonna do that. I'll take you with me and I'll be back. The exception up. So I have just my artist paints out. I have some jars. I've been mixing colors that I may want to keep for the future but I definitely want to not have to keep remixing the same color. So I put it in a jar. I make a whole bunch of it. Put it in a jar with some slow dry medium and then put the lid on and that works. And those are just jars. Obviously that's a pickle jar. I reused from downstairs and when they're empty and I don't want to make any more of that paint I can wash it out and reuse it for something some other kind of paint or something else. Another medium. Something in the art room. I got asked about the big paintings. What do I have them on and I honestly don't remember if I showed this in a video or not. I have no idea but I got some dollar store shower curtains and covered up my cubbies. There you go. Covered up all of my ephemeral cubbies are underneath there all the way down. I also draped some shower curtains over the wire shelves on the wall and the small bits bank. So everything behind the paintings is covered with plastic. And I have Velcro loops that are tacked to the canvases and where there's a spot on the shelves available the canvases are Velcroed to the shelves. Obviously this one at the center is not Velcroed to anything but it is on the other end. The center one has two straps so it's very stable. The ones on the end only have one so when I'm painting on them I usually hold one side and paint with the other side so that's that. I do think it's going to be a forest or woods inspired scene with a colorful cloudy background sky which is very typical of where I live in the Pacific Northwest so I think I'm inspired to do that so that's what I'm going to do and it's coming along very nicely. I'm not going to be able to work on much else until it is done but that's okay with me. That's it for the moment. I may make a run to Walmart today for a couple things but otherwise I'm just going to be home working on stuff. Okay so Gunnar is here. He is with the mom and pop firm of European Craftsmanship. He has that company with his sons and he is here. He's going to be power washing the house and caulking today and then going and picking up the paint and working on we have to replace the blocks that are behind some of the light fixtures because they're too small for the new fixtures so he's going to be he measured and he took down notes of what sizes he needs and he's going to go home and make them and then get them installed I think tomorrow because he's got to get that done before he can start painting so but he expects to be done with everything by Friday so that's good and we took all the lights and put them on the side yard behind the gate so he's going to be here two or three hours and then I can go so I might he doesn't need me here so I can probably go before then so anyway that's it for now I'll be back. It's just after 9am painters to get hair I should say the contractors because there are more than just painters they're doing a bunch of different stuff out outside for us yeah it's 9 0 5 a.m. anyway I got all the social media done yay for me I got my art table cleared off of the things that don't have anything to do with the three large paintings that I'm working on because I'm really not going to be able to do much up here in the art room until those are done they take too much of my attention and they require too much material so hang on a second I'm going to flip the camera so the painters outside I think he's got most of the back wall body new body color up and he's working his way around the house you can tell I don't think you're going to be able to see from here I think the lights kind of too weird the windows are all covered with paper I'll insert a picture here and it's a mom and pop operation and he was supposed to have one of his sons up here helping him today but I guess his son is sick so he is here by himself he's making pretty good progress though for working by himself anyway it's interesting I'm not going to probably get much art done today but I'll see what I can do to talk to the camera and have it not be on so for those of you who follow me on social media you know I share my daily art practice every day on all my social media I do daily drawings sometimes they turn out sometimes they don't sometimes I'm not inspired by the word at all to create the art and that a lack of inspiration would be what I'm doing two things at once I'm grabbing garbage bags sorry a lack of inspiration would be why sometimes they don't turn out sometimes I'm just not doing a good job because I'm too tired but I do share them every day and the good the bad and the ugly if I don't share something that day it's usually because I'm just too tired to be honest and I usually catch up the next day but they're always out there for you all to see and hopefully learn from or be inspired by you know they're not wonderful like Picasso's or anything they're just daily art practice quick little sketches with pen and ink that's it so my list of social media links if you don't already follow me is always in link tree my link tree list of links which is always in the description below every single video all the time so go check it out and see what you think all right that's it I'm gonna go empty garbage cans I'll be back everybody it is Wednesday May 8th 1258 p.m. don't get excited I'm watching Mike Deacon's blog the newest one for April 29th to May 5th if you don't know who Mike Deacon is he's one of our fellow mixed media youtubers and I will link his channel in the description below you hear that noise in the background the house is being painted we all are also at some point gonna get new light fixtures put up and as part of the whole process and there's a little bit of carpentry that's being done some repairs and so yeah I'm gonna take you outside and show you just a little bit of a glimpse of the color change of the house painter is out there working and doing his thing I got a project started for a friend for her shop I have it upstairs it's covered in gesso and I think maybe I might be ready to add some more paint to the triptych I'm working on it's set for a couple of days because I wasn't sure how I wanted to move forward with it although I did know I needed to I think I know now so I may be adding a little bit of paint to that later this afternoon too and in the meantime I'm just hanging out around the house and yeah hoping the painter doesn't fall off a ladder it's really hard for me to focus when yeah there's people working on the house so it's a thing anyway that's it for now I'll be back hey guys it is Thursday morning May 9th I think 922 a.m. you know I just checked the phone to see what the date was and I've already forgotten I think it said the ninth but yeah anyway Gunnar just got here our contractor and actually I should say our contractor's dad it's a mom-and-pop operation called European Craftsmanship here in the Portland area that's two brothers and their dad I guess dad started the business anyway one son is out on vacation the other son was supposed to be helping him and he got sick with the flu or something so dad's been here painting all week by himself oh anyway he's doing a pretty good job glad he's not my dad because I'd be worried about him up on that ladder as it is I don't know Gunnar I'm still worried anyway we have a big house so he said he should be done like Saturday did I say it was Thursday or did I say it was Friday holy cow I have really had all my coffee people I swear anyway we're headed out to go run some errands I'm gonna go investigate a couple things in Sherwood there is a Walmart in Sherwood I want to have a Walmart return and so I want to check out the Sherwood Walmart turn right on to South West 131st Avenue thank you jeeps I want to check out the Sherwood Walmart I prefer shopping in Sherwood over some parts of Tigard you know it's like anything else there's good places and bad places in a quarter of a mile less attractive so anyway I'm going to go check out Sherwood and go check out the Walmart I might stop by Tuesday morning well Tuesday morning is next to Dollar Tree I might stop by Dollar Tree on my way because I need some more of the disposable shower curtains maybe I don't know we'll see how what kind of mood I'm in all right that's it I'll be back seriously I was just filming without the camera on because that's a thing again it's like the third time this week anyway it is Friday morning May 10th it is 8 21 a.m. I am here waiting for Gunnar to get here and waiting on a response to a face message before I post my social media things this morning I need to take an echo drop an Etsy order off and I need to run to Fred Meyer a different one than I went yesterday I got some display things to put on the different ledges around my house yesterday I posted in today's thoughts over in my Facebook group a life of art and self-expression that I have these just these display ledges in the house and I didn't didn't really know what to do with them and I kind of had a little bit of an idea but I got some feedback on anyway I decided to just go for it and hang on one second the shelf is still empty they didn't have any more the cans so I'm gonna go to a different Fred Meyer and hope to have one more of those tall metal cans and we'll do another grouping over there how I'm gonna get it up there exactly I ain't got no clue I'll figure it out though all right I'll be back other grouping for there and this is where the paintings are gonna go I got these metal sort of geometric decor things that I just love and they had this metal can for lack of a better word in the back in the garden department it's copper wine and it has a patina on the outside it's probably meant for a candle but it looks really great behind the round geometric ball and that spiky thing so I got one grouping for here I was pulling this down because the big canvases are done and I just painted all the edges and you can see them back behind me well maybe you can there we go there's two on the drying rack they barely fit and they're hanging over the edge so nobody sneeze over there and then one on my table takes up the whole table it's propped up on some paint cans of paint and I was taking them down to do that to paint the edges I usually don't frame my art necessarily it's expensive to be honest and I like the way the stretch canvas looks with just the painted edge hanging on the wall sometimes I'll write a blessing or other just random words I'm inspired to write around the edge of the canvas I actually have one behind me that one that I did that on you can maybe kind of see around the edge of the canvas there's some writing anyway I was taking down the setup I got asked a lot how do I have a setup do I have it on easels no so these are dollar store shower curtains and they are just clipped to this wire shelf I have three these wire shelves hanging on the wall they're clipped to the wall with binder clips and then I have two of them there and then two of them additional ones you see that they're taped to the cubes and then the top of the cubes gives me a place to rest the bottom of the canvas on and I have velcro straps on the back of the canvases to attach it to the wire shelving and that gives me a safe place to paint on the canvases I don't have to worry too much about dripping and getting stuff on the furniture but it gives me a place to work on big canvas so bonus so anyway I attached the strips of velcro to the back of the canvas with little tack one on each side so there you have it I'm gonna do it sturdy to blah blah blah blah I'm gonna do a studio tour soon so if you're interested in that keep your eyes out I ironically enough was asked do you have a studio tour on your YouTube channel by my little sister I don't know what she's doing with it who she showed she's probably sharing it with a friend but which is fine anyway that was when I realized I never really did a proper tour so yeah it'll be a bit video by itself anyway that's it for the moment I'm gonna put all my shower curtains away and clean up my mess and get back to it okay so I had a little chat with the painter that worked the contractor gunner and he may not get to the doors until tomorrow but he's gonna make sure all of his tools and things are picked up from the backyard we have an inner gate we can close so that Lily can still go back there to do her do her business and we don't have to walk her every five minutes and then when he comes tomorrow he's probably coming tomorrow he may be able to finish tomorrow he may not be able to finish till Monday but anyway when he comes tomorrow while he's there working in the back we'll just create her for a while and yeah I think that'll be good I got the Etsy order dropped off it at McCann's and now I'm gonna head over to Fred Meyer the one into Wallatin to see if they have some more that metal decor that I want for the other space and pick up some more canned water canned sparkling water and maybe some vegetables because I don't think we have anything but lettuce and pico de gallo and that's not going to cut it for the weekend so we're gonna do that take care of it in 1.1 miles I'll be back watching Lily this weekend so I need to speak to gunner before I leave and see if he can finish the back of the house and clean up the back of the house before three o'clock today and that way I can close the side gate and she can going out to the back to go potty and whatnot and I don't have to we don't have to walk her every five minutes because that's gonna get old so I need to talk to him about that and hopefully he's gonna be done tomorrow as planned because all the way like him he's a very nice man I don't want to do the um out of my normal routine thing very well I don't do people in my house well I don't yeah it's just difficult for me so he's a very nice man and he's been doing a great job and will probably be using his company again but yeah I just need the job to be done just yeah all right I'm going to do the social media thing and I'll be back good afternoon it's one something pm Saturday May 11th 107 something like that anyway don't get all excited I looked at the clock I'm out walking Lily uh the painters painter is still working on the house today and tomorrow he needs to be done by tomorrow he said I have another job to go to so he's trying hard to finish Lily sit sit good girl so anyway the doors are being painted today um itchy nose sorry um also some of the trims being touched up cleanup is starting and then he's got to put up the new outdoor lights and replace the blocks behind the lights um before he's done and one side of the house needs another coat of paint so yeah he's going to go take a break late afternoon he's been doing that because it gets really hot which is fine I use the break to go clean up yeah so we're going to do that but Lily's been crated today because all the doors are wide open so I needed to take her for a w al k as my friend Mike Deacon would have said I'm sorry about the background traffic it is Saturday afternoon and there's cars out on the road because you know it's a thing all right I'll be back Saturday evening I got no clue what time it is I don't see I don't know 7 54 p.m uh it's been a crazy day been a crazy week hear that the contractor is still here yes I said it's 7 54 p.m he is getting the final touches of paint on that wall over there he's going to come back in the morning he's got to do some touch ups and um install the new lights and power wash and yeah just finish up things say hi Fred and there's Lily we're babysitting Lily this weekend at the same time because you know we don't have enough going on anyway we

uh list of links you'll find a whole bunch of stuff over there and above all go out and have a great day do something nice for yourself because you deserve it and I'll see you later bye guys


This 10th year of Daily Tech News show is made possible by its listeners. Thanks to all of you, including Ms. Music Teacher, James C. Smith, Miranda Janell, and our lifetime supporter, Dan Gardner. Thanks, Dan! On this episode of DTNS, X gets Apple App Store support. Parents are wondering where their screentime settings went. And do you really know who you're emailing? Government defense departments around the world say, no, not really. This is the Daily Tech News for Monday, July 31, last day of July, 2023 from Studio Secret Bunker. I am Sarah Lane. From Petaluma, I am Megan Moroney. And from a muggy overcast Southern California on the show's producer, Roger Chang. Well, Roger, we hope you are keeping cool. Megan, you and I are pretty close to each other geographically. It's kind of hot out there. Could be worse. We know a lot of you in parts of the world are really sweltering right now. So I hope everybody's staying cool and safe. But we're here to talk tech news. So let's get started with the quick hits. Amazon is set to enforce a new policy that requires some domestic and foreign streaming services to allocate 30% of their in-country advertising impressions to Amazon. Starting September 30, devs who offer ad-supported fire TV apps in the US that see 50,000 hours or more usage per month must enroll in Amazon publishing services, APS. If outside the US, the threshold is lower to 30,000 hours. In countries that can't use APS, Amazon will require ad-supported streaming video services to provide 30% of their ad revenue to the company. Oh, that sounds familiar to me. I wonder why that sounds familiar to me. I don't know. I'll think about it later. Microsoft is testing a Windows 11 update designed to improve power usage and minimize fan use on GPUs by auto-adjusting refresh rates on multiple monitors based on the content that's being displayed. It should improve refresh rate dependent multitasking.  That would be improved. The latest Canary Channel builds of Windows 11 also have dynamic refresh rate or DRR bumps for laptops and a new battery saver option. I have all the Amazon stories today probably because I ordered so many things on Prime Day. Amazon achieved its fastest Prime speeds ever in the U.S. in the last quarter. The company said it delivered more than 1.8 billion units to Prime members so far this year. And in the 60 largest U.S. metro areas achieved more than half of the orders arriving either same or next day. As for the millions of items that are currently unavailable to be delivered that same day, Amazon says it plans to double the amount of delivery sites in the coming years to speed things up even faster. Well, you have Amazon stories and I have Apple stories today. It's just how the cookie crumbled. The financial time sources say Lux Share Precision Industry, the sole assembler of Apple's upcoming Vision Pro headset is going to get more work from Apple because Apple likes Lux Share. Lux Share has already expanded from more basic connectors for Apple products like making components for AirPods and Apple Watch and the iPhone itself. Now, you might say isn't Foxconn like the iPhone maker? It still is. It's it's the making the bulk of iPhones but Lux Share is joining in production of Apple's phone 15 series in August, reportedly assembling premium models for the first time. Some very observant Reddit users notice that Samsung's flagship Galaxy S23 Ultra phone has lost the option that enabled higher bit rates when shooting 8K videos at 30 FPS. The previous 100 megabits per second is now only is now only at 80 megabits per second following a July security update. Android Police thinks that this might be designed to cut down on stuttering and jerkiness in the final video, though no official word yet from Samsung for the changes. Those were the kits. I mentioned Apple news and I'm not stopping here, Megan. We're kind of in a summer slump of tech news. It happens every year around this time where people start looking ahead for momentum and with Apple's next event on the horizon, the iPhone 15 is right up there as far as what people want to talk about. Now Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, who knows Apple maybe more than anybody outside of the company, reports in his power on newsletter that Apple is set to unveil standard iPhone 15 models that ditched the old notch for the Dynamic Island design that it introduced last year to its pro line, but not its entire line. A USB-C connector is expected to replace the Lightning connector. Gonna make a lot of people happy. A lot of people are just like USB-C all the way. And a new little detail is that the pro and pro max models may be using low injection pressure over molding, commonly known as LIPO, L-I-P-O, that will shrink the bezel around the display to 1.5 millimeters, teeny tiny, down from already pretty teeny 2.2 millimeters, but quite a bit smaller. Apple's Watch Series 7 introduced LIPO. You might recall that the watch faces used to have quite a bit larger bezel than they do now. And the company reportedly plans to also bring it to the iPad eventually. But that's not really what's making the big Apple news today, so Megan tell us more. Alrighty, this is a good one. Very unhappy users continue to report screen time issues where the settings either don't stick or they auto revert to the previous setting without any warning. Apple says that it's aware of the issue which is particularly plaguing parents who use screen times, down time settings feature to remotely schedule off limits times for their kids using the cloud-based family sharing system. Screen time also restricts some apps and content for kids that parents or guardians are supposed to be able to control remotely. And Apple previously said the issue was fixed with iOS 16.5 back in May, but the Wall Street Journal says in its testing, the problem in fact persists even using the iOS 17 public beta. Yeah, it's interesting. Apple said, well, we fixed it back in May and people go, well, it's not fixed. And I mean, as of this recording, Apple's like, we're aware, but no one really seems to know why this keeps happening and it seems to happen not to everyone that's using screen time, but the Wall Street Journal did speak to a handful of parents who had different results, but for the most part all said that they were experiencing errors. Either they would set screen time limits that would just go away the next time they looked at their settings or would revert back to maybe a previous setting that shouldn't be there anymore. Wall Street Journal also notes that parents, in this case, they spoke to parents who said, okay, well, here's some options. We can use third-party apps to manage screen time. You can do that outside of Apple's own OS, but they often cost money. There's also privacy concerns using a third-party developer who might do something with your data. And it also, the freer it is, the more sus it is with stuff like this. Also, you can set screen limits directly on your child's device if for some reason that whole cloud thing isn't working, but that's cumbersome. And maybe you have a few kids in the house or a few kids who you are managing their time. Another option that was brought up by a parent that the Wall Street Journal spoke to said, my kids already use Chromebooks at school. They're really familiar with everything that Google and to that effect Android. And if this is something that I'm paying, well, you're paying a premium for the iPhone itself, but something that's supposed to be part of the It Just Works version of iOS and it's not working, why don't I maybe consider switching over to Android? So there are options out there. This is probably going to get patched, but it's a inconvenience at best. And perhaps a lot worse, if a kid ends up getting access to some sort of website that would have been blocked for children, otherwise kind of thing. Megan, I know your kids are old enough to probably manage their own screen time at this point, but what were the sort of things that you dealt with when they were younger? Well, so this didn't exist back in my day. And it was just kind of a free-for-all. I didn't know people who tried those third-party apps and with mixed results. And sometimes they really just took advantage of parents' fear and charged a whole bunch of money for something that sometimes worked and sometimes didn't. And yeah, I mean, I don't know. I mean, my kids, I set my own screen time limits now and my kids do too, just for themselves. We all are similar and it's like, oh yeah, well, if I spend more than 30 minutes on TikTok a day, then I probably am doing something wrong with my life, so it's nice to have those. And that's the thing about this. They all work if you're setting them yourself, but these are people that, why don't they have access to their kid's phone? Why are they doing it remotely? I don't understand. As a parent of 20 and 18-year-olds, I am allowed to judge other parents, which I will do now.  You deserve it. They were all alive as before I started this podcast. They were making toast in the toast oven, so by themselves. Some of the people in the Wall Street Journal article were setting screen time limits for 16 and 15-year-olds. And I feel like at that age, they got to be handling this themselves. Like, I feel like that's a little odd to be remotely setting screen time settings on your 16-year-olds' iPhone. I mean, I just want to admit I am judging because at some point, they're going to just have to figure it out themselves. But yeah, I don't know. I mean, and then in terms of like, yes, it's terrible if you tried to block a website and your kids get to it, but that's the other thing I learned about parenting. Just assume your kid is going to get access to all those things. Assume they're going to see porn by the age of 12 and talk to them about it. Just like, you have to just assume the worst and talk to them about it. My kids, if you ever talk to them, we'll tell you that like I talk to them too much about these things. But yeah, so I don't know. I have one more thing to say on this. The article said, this is my favorite line in the article. It says, this can go unnoticed for days or weeks and kids don't always report back when they get extra time for games and social media. Yeah, no kidding. It's like, yeah, they never report back. Yeah. Yeah. I was trying to, you know, when you were saying in my day, we didn't have things like this. I don't have children, but I was one once and I will say anything that I could get away with, I would. I don't think the youth of today is all that different. And the only thing that I could really compare this to because there weren't things like iPhones and screen time was, you know, being grounded. You know, I would get in trouble for something and I wouldn't be able to go to so-and-so slumber party type thing, which sucked.  But it does sound like, you know, in many cases, the screen time thing is like, it's for your own good. It's not like I'm taking your proves away. It's just you're not supposed to be on, you know, I don't know, TikTok, for example, more than, you know, this amount of time.  And if that's not working, I can see where the frustration is coming from. All right, let's talk about top-level domains, Megan. The .MIL and .ML domain, Mixeroo, continues. You might recall, we told you a few weeks ago how members of the U.S. military were accidentally sending potentially, not always, but potentially sensitive documents to email addresses associated with the African country of Mali, which is .ML rather than .MIL for the U.S. military. Yeah, you know, if you're typing fast, it could happen. British authorities have launched their own investigation now after officials from the U.K. Ministry of Defense mistakenly also sent emails meant for U.S. military intelligence to the government in Mali. The Ministry of Defense said Friday they were investigating the incident and also said, quote, we have opened an investigation after a small number of emails were mistakenly forwarded to an incorrect email domain. End quote. Yeah, that's pretty much what you did. So, Megan, like I said, happens to the best of us, but one might wonder how something like, you know, just regular old email addresses being used for sensitive documents from defense departments to the country of Mali, which depending on, you know, where you fall on the political scope might not be the best place for sensitive documents from the U.S. or the U.K. to end up. Do you have a suggestion for an alternative? Don't use email? Maybe? I mean, that's what seems weird to me. Like if it's really sensitive documents, I mean, you can't, if you send something to the wrong place, it's going to get to the wrong place whether it's encrypted or not, right? I suppose, yeah, I mean, yeah, I guess the alternatives to email are vast. I always sort of expect that, you know, you know, I'm not so sure about what's going on in the U.K., but I always assume that, you know, the Department of Defense in the U.S. has all sorts of apps that the rest of us haven't heard of and probably because I've watched too many spy movies. But yeah, the whole kind of like, oh, whoops, I did it again. I sent something to Mali instead of, you know, my colleague is, it surprises me sort of. Roger, were you going to say something? I was going to say that it's one of those things where, A, why are they using email? And I understand that there's still a place for it. B, I'm wondering if this is so frequent enough if the U.S. military is considered changing domain names to like just dot gov. So you send it to a dot gov and there, I mean, unless there's a country that has a dot gov, a domain name, which I don't believe there is. I don't think so, yeah. It would go a long way to kind of mitigating that. Also, it just shows you how much time has passed since information technology or communications have not been altered. I mean, if you think about it, email has been around since the late 70s, right? So you're going 40 years, right? Even the phone system changed up at that point. You got a couple of new zip codes and now you had to punch a one every time you wanted to dial internationally for a country code for the U.S. So I'm wondering if maybe they just, everyone, everyone needs just an updated understanding and agreement of what counts as communication between a secure or which identity, if not securely sensitive lanes of communication. I mean, to be fair, the article says that it was like information that had like dates of when employees would be and, you know, it's like they say they weren't state secrets, so I don't know, right? It's one of those things where, especially in intelligence, sometimes it's not directly finding out the information. It's kind of figuring out where you should start looking for information. So if you have a lot of dignitaries showing up at a house party, oh, maybe you should send someone over there outside just to kind of park and listen. Well, the funny thing is we're just sort of knowing, you know, if someone sends information that's not classified to someone else, well, now you know who those people are who are communicating with one another, you know, and there's some context there. And to stress the point, the MOD, the Ministry of Defense in the UK, did say that there were no of, there was less than 20 times that this has happened according to their knowledge right now and maybe some hype, you know, sensitive information regarding missile technology, but for the most part, it's just, you know, I mean, it's a small, a small bit. It's probably very, probably in the single-digit percentage mistakes, but you know, it's just what they used to say in World War II, loose lips, sink ships. So it just takes one, takes one. I actually didn't know that that was a World War II thing. I just hear it all the time. Loose lips, sink ships. I know what it means, but I never knew the origin. How about that?  It was a little bit sexist, if I recall, too. Like it was like, you know, don't talk to... Oh, right. Yeah. Women. Yeah.  You're going to lose it. She's not your wife. Don't talk to her. It was basically it. Yeah, exactly. Well, if you have thoughts on anything that we have talked about on the show thus far or might talk about on a future show, one way that you can let your voice heard of what we should talk about is our subreddit. Submit stories and vote on stories at dailytechnewshow.reddit.com. It's where we get a lot of information. So thank you in advance. I was going to sing this like Salt and Peppa, but I lost my nerve. So I'm just going to say, let's talk about X, baby. Get it? You get it. I do get it. Thank you. Thank you, Megan. I made another terrible X joke last week. So I'm just going to keep the street going. There's another nail in the coffin of the old bluebird app today. Apple has officially allowed the company formerly known as Twitter to change its name to X in the app store. And you might say, is that so weird? Apple is actually one of the last to allow Twitter to change its name in Apple's system UI because Apple typically doesn't allow apps to use just a single character because companies aren't really ever named that. So it could be confusing or just, you know, it doesn't make a lot of sense based on your company name. The tagline in the iOS app store also been changed from it's what's happening. That was Twitter's previous app store slogan to blaze your glory, which is apparently something that Elon Musk posted on X last night. I mean, he did. I have seen the tweets myself and they still are called tweets until I'm told otherwise. All right, I'm holding on to the bird. So, yeah, I don't know, Megan. Well, there's a lot of a lot to unpack here and I have two important questions that we need to have answered by the end of the show or else. One is what does he mean by blaze your glory and also you and I, which apps are we going to invent that have one letter since now it's like we can't, you know, it's like, it's like, well, we have, I don't know. I mean, if we're using, you know, the English alphabet, we've got 25 more options. Right, exactly. Yeah, I'm going to get on that.   Now, blaze of glory, great song, but I don't know what that means. I feel like it's like some sort of ha ha euphemism that maybe I don't understand and I'm not, you know, as we unpack this, I'm not sure how much I want to unpack that specifically, but no, I don't know what it means. I don't know that it's supposed to mean anything. I think it's supposed to be silly because I can't imagine that that's a real tagline that would mean anything to anybody or, you know, at the very least inspire them to use the app. Yeah, I don't know. Let's just agree to blaze our glory in this show. Sure.  I mean, I feel like I'm blazing my glory a lot right now. So, okay. We're, you know, we're on the right path. Okay, should we move on to more serious Twitter things? Sure. X things. X formerly known as Twitter announced on Monday that owner Elon Musk will continue to lead the product and engineering teams, but now new CEO Linda Yaccarino will lead all the other teams, all the boring stuff like legal and sales. Sorry to call sales boring. Only legal is boring. Musk and Yaccarino will jointly oversee the trust and safety team. Not boring. They're doing that together, which they're obviously responsible for content moderation, which is a big deal. It's been kind of a little unclear what is happening management-wise over there. Does this make any sense to you, Sarah? Well, nothing about X makes sense to me right now. The whole thing is very chaotic. And I know that part of that is sort of, we're all having fun in the chaos. Well, some people don't think it's fun or funny at all. I don't really think it's funny, but I have no option, but to just sort of be like, this is chaotic. What's next kind of thing?  You know, even if there's more to it, but as far as splitting up duties and Roger had brought up the Netflix co CEOs as another example of, because I had said, I mean, when would a CEO say, I don't want to be CEO anymore. This is Elon Musk hiring somebody to be CEO and saying, you know, this is the person for the job. And then saying, I'm actually going to, you know, handle product and engineering, which if you look at Twitter's history is very, very large part of the company. And the new CEO is going to handle legal and sales. That might be a great co position for the two to be in. They might have had all sorts of closed door medians about how this makes the most sense for everybody. It might be weird. It might not be all that weird, but I think because the saga of X changes by the hour, it's just another way for people to say, well, hold on a second. So he's not really relinquishing control.  Like all the other departments don't exist without the product. So that's arguably, you know, taking control of everything that you said that you were going to hand off to somebody else. However, I also think there are probably a lot of situations in companies where a founder, a CEO or maybe both says, okay, I'm gonna, you know, I'll keep my board seat, but you know, I've got it in the hands of, you know, this next person who's the right person to do the job. You know, we thought that about Jeff Bezos and Andy Jassy, for example. You know, we don't always know who's really pulling the strings as it were anyway. So yeah, I don't know. I mean, maybe two people are necessary at this point because it's such a clown show. Well, I mean, we don't usually know who's pulling the strings. That's what I find so suspect about this because it's like usually, you know, you have a CEO, maybe they're just a figure ahead or maybe they are really running things and you have a head of product or a head of product and engineering and then you have a head of sales. And you know, it's all like, we don't really know who's running things.  Like Elon said, don't worry. I'm taking care of the product and engineering and the lady is taking care of the rest. So like I think to me like maybe I'm jumping to conclusions but it feels a little mansplaining to me. It's like trying to reassure people when that's not really reassuring to a lot of people at all. So I don't know. That's my take. Yeah, yeah. You might have a take as well by the way if you're listening and saying, oh, you guys forgot this one important detail or I wish I could chime in right now. You can send us an email feedback at dailytechnewshow.com before we leave X news real quick. Kanye West, yay, as he's known now has been unbanned by X. Again, you might recall that Kanye was banned back in December for tweeting an image of a swastika and that was just two months after his account was reinstated after being banned for two years prior for other things before Elon Musk even owned the company. The company now says that ads won't appear next to yay's post and he won't be able to monetize his account either. James Mann wrote in to give us a heads up about a robot stealing his job. I'm sorry, James, according to a new, a local news site in Gajana. That's a city in Ohio near Columbus, I think, or maybe it's a neighborhood in Columbus. Not sure. It now has what it calls the first ever cake decorating robot and James who sometimes works as a cake decorator. He's not mad about it. He's excited. Behex is a 3D printing company that has been contracted by NASA and the U.S. Army to install a free on-demand cake writing machine at a Kroger's grocery store. But make your way to Ohio quick if you want a cake decorated by this robot. It's only going to be there for another month. Oh, James. I love how James is like, listen, I sometimes do decorate cakes and if the robot is that good at it, watch out, cake decorators. I mean, it's a little tongue-in-cheek, but also not, right? This is a, you know, a very specialized job. Not a lot of people are good at this specific job. So if you've got a robot who's like the best cake maker ever, oof, you know, tough times. Mm-hmm, mm-hmm, really. It's so true. Yeah. Is it time to check out the mailbag? Let's do it. Frank wrote in about our Apple versus Google Maps Convo. I think the last time I was on the show last Monday, we also had someone else. This is such a popular topic and we're not going to solve this Apple versus Google problem today. But Frank says, I think both Apple and Google Maps work now. I prefer Apple Maps Street View because it shows the compass direction you're viewing. Google does not and has always made it difficult to move the direction I went. I'm now retired, but was a truck driver. The information over the last decade has been wonderful, especially when it comes to online security. A lot of what you talk about is above my level, but that a lot of it has been valuable. Oh, Frank, thank you for the email. And thanks for letting us know that Apple Maps is working for you. You know, driving a truck, I would think that the right Maps app is of utmost importance rather than the casual user. So yeah, good, good stuff. And reminder, if you do have feedback, we want to hear it. Feedback at DailyTechNewShow.com. Hey patrons, you're going to want to stick around for the extended show, Good Day Internet, because it's just a fun show, but also because we're going to be talking about a new e-bike, sort of. This is Super 73's new Electric Balance Bike, which claims that riders don't need licenses, don't need registration or and don't need insurance to ride them and they go pretty fast.

The study found that sugar-sweetened beverages, SSBs, common among pregnant women in Ibadan, Nigeria. Factors associated with high SSBs intake include employment, maternal obesity, high fruit and green vegetable consumption, and frequent fast-food outlet visits. These findings suggest that public health interventions should focus on these factors to reduce SSBs intake among pregnant women in Ibadan, Nigeria.


The study investigated the nutritional, bioactive, antioxidant and essential oil composition of Monartifistulosa-L and Monarticitridora subspostramontanus serve. X-Lag. These favorite flowers over three years, 2014 to 2016, through field and laboratory analyses, revealing that MCitridora had the highest antioxidant activity in FRAP test and essential oil composition of lanaloal, thymol, beta-thudgene and camphim, while M. fistulosa had the highest total sugars slash titratable acidity ratio. Antioxidant activity in DPPH test and contents of reducing sugars, chlorophyll A and B, elascorbic acid and total polyphenol.

got your elven petition approved the visa interview is the next crucial step that you need to clear to finally reach the us and in this video i'm going to be explaining all about elven visa interviews so keep on watching hi guys my name is shachi and i'm a travel and visa coach on this channel you'll find lots of useful content on the us visa process and this is a new series for the elven visas so make sure that you subscribe and hit the bell icon so in this video i'm going to be talking about elven visas and this is going to include both elven a that is meant for managers and elven b meant for employees with technical skills now this video is not going to go into what an elven visa is what's the validity of it how to get one but i'm going to focus completely on the visa interview part so once you have an elven petition you need to schedule an interview with any of the consulates in india and go give this interview with the visa officer and clear it so this video is going to focus on the interview preparation and i'm going to go deep dive into all the areas that you need to have it covered also part of this video there is a free pdf this pdf is basically the question bank for elven visa interviews and this has been specifically prepared keeping in mind the elven interviews that have happened in the last couple of months so you can just check the link in the description box below and download your free pdf all right so with this let's jump right into the interview prep now to make this prep more structured and easy for you i have divided the elven visa interview questions into three different categories and we will go into each of these categories understand what are the questions that can be asked and at the end of each category i have a pro tip for you so make sure that you watch till the end so the first category of questions are the introduction questions and this is how elven interviews can typically begin so the interview can begin with a video asking you certain basic questions about your background and your profile these questions could be where you work how many years have you worked in the company which location do you work they could also ask some questions about the company what does the company do how many employees are there then he can move on to ask specific questions about your work your work history your area of expertise or your specialization in elven interviews it's really important to have a short crisp introduction ready which essentially highlights the number of years that you have worked the number of years that you have worked in the current role and also what is your main domain of expertise or your core area i cannot stress enough how important it is to have a very clear explanation of what exactly is your specialization and this is something which is asked in almost all elven interviews so a pro tip here when you fill the ds 160 form in the ds 160 form you also need to update the work history so you need to write about your current role and responsibilities and also about your previous roles and responsibilities and here there is a box which says briefly describe your duties now this box is actually quite important and we use tend to read what is written in the box to understand about you and your work history so make sure that you fill this currently and the way you are preparing your introduction your main areas of responsibilities your main specialization the same thing should also be reflected in the ds 164 now moving on to the second category of questions and this is the most important one this is your role in the us and you can expect the bulk of the interview to be focused on these questions so the questions here that could be asked are what do you plan to do in the us office what are your roles and responsibilities why you why not somebody who is already there in the us office and what would happen if you don't go on this visa when you prepare the answers for these questions do keep in mind that you need to repeatedly highlight the value add the key skill or the differentiating factor that you possess and it's really important to not sound generic but to prepare specific answers which shows a direct connect or a direct fit between the requirement in the us office and everything that you have achieved in your career which essentially shows that it makes sense for the company to do this transition coming to the pro tip here many of you might have worked for about eight to ten years meaning that you would have handled different roles different responsibilities maybe worked in different teams so in such cases it becomes really confusing to understand what exactly should I be highlighting for this refer to your L1 petition refer to the role that you have in the us office and you can pick those parts of your career or those parts of your work experience which are a direct fit for the role in the us the third category of questions are the future plan questions and this is something which the interview can end with or typically these are the last few questions which can be asked in the L1 interview so the questions here could be how long do you plan to stay in the us what do you plan to do once this visa tenure is over or what are your future plans now when you prepare answers for these questions remember that you are going on L1 visa which is a non-immigrant visa which has been given to you for a specific period of time so you need to demonstrate clearly to the we owe that once the tenure of this visa is over you plan to come back and then highlight the reasons for coming back which need to be focused more on the professional side so you need to highlight the specific professional opportunities or the specific work responsibilities that you have waiting in India which would require you to come back so essentially a nutshell it is important to demonstrate or to highlight that the work of the project that you're going for has a specific end date and post this you do plan to come back to your home country coming to the pro tip now if you have dependents it is very likely that questions are also asked about the dependents and their future plans even if they're not applying with you at this moment so make sure that you have their future plan and their path also chartered so if you have a spouse you could be asked does your spouse plan to work what is her plan in the US similarly if you have children you could be asked about their age what do they do what do they plan to do in the US so charting out their stay in the US and their future plan and linking it of course to yours and showing that as a family as a whole you intend to come back is going to be important so this is everything that you need to be prepared for for an elven visa interview and to make this preparation easy and more structured for you there is a pdf which lists all these questions so the link for the pdf is in the description box below you can download that and prepare for a more in-depth prep you can book a one-to-one session with me you can also take a mock interview mock interviews for elven visas are a game changer tons of people have taken this and this is something which is going to get you absolutely ready for that really crucial last step so i'll do the mock first okay okay i should know her's good evening tell me what yourself what do you do what do you say is your core domain specialization how many years have you worked at this company how many years of total experience do you have what's the current angle so details of how to book a one-to-one session with me or take a mock interview is also listed in the description box below so do take a look i have more videos coming up in elven visa series in fact next up in this series are real interview experiences i have people who worked with me and who have gone to us on elven visas sharing their experience and also their preparation strategy so do stay tuned for this make sure that you click the subscribe button hit the bell icon and please do give a like to the video because this is something that really helps if you have more questions feel free to leave them in the comment section below you could also DM me on instagram my instagram handle is at shachi.man and thank you so much for watching i really hope that this has helped you and see you in the next one signing off for now bye


and teach us about open source communities. I know that having these really emotionally heavy talks, but this one is going to be a bit more lighthearted and fun. So I hope you enjoy and I hope you learn something as well. Who's ever played a fantasy role playing game before? So it's kind of fun, right?  If you don't know about these kind of games, that's fine. It's not necessary to understand this talk, but basically there are different types of characters that you can play, there are quests you can go on, and generally it's just a lot of fun. So help or a video game, it seems like anything is possible, right? You can build your own character, you can build up skills over time, level up, get new items, you can even slay dragons. But you often don't go along, and nor should you in the tech world either. I started seeing some parallels between things that we do in games and things that we do in our lives and in our careers. And I got to thinking, wouldn't it be cool if our communities were more like that? Sands the dragon slaying. But unfortunately that's not often the case. Things can get unbalanced, and if you in a game go into an area with all of the same type of character, it's probably not going to go very well. And that would be pretty difficult. That's why when people tell me, I don't think I can contribute to open source because I don't know how to code. I'm not very good at coding. I've never really used GitHub before. And I tell them, there's all these other things that you can do. And just like in a game, if you had all the same character, things wouldn't work out very well. If you have all the same type of person or same type of skills in a community, so too do things become difficult. Games just aren't as fun when you have an unbalanced party and diversity helps groups overcome the most challenging quests. So I thought, we can do better than this. There has to be a better way. How can I reach out to people, the same people that tell me they love playing these games but they don't know much about coding or they don't feel that they're worthy in some way. I'm going to make some analogies here to different types of role-playing characters and how we can relate to them in our communities and in technology. I hope this will give you some ideas about how you can go home and apply this to your own teams and how you too can contribute even if you don't have the standard skills that people generally think of. So there are many faces of a technical team or an open source community. What do you think of when you think of open source contributors? Most people would say the coders, right? The people with those bright green GitHub contributor graphs. But if that's all we define contributing to be, then it's no wonder people are intimidated to join us. So look at all these other things that really drive a project to succeed. We have documentation writers, designers, testers, community managers, outreach, translators, support. The list just goes on. And we can really do better at attracting these kind of people and making them feel welcome. So I'm going to go through a couple of these in detail, relate them to what I feel their role or class would be within a game. And if you look at it like that, you'll see that everyone has a strength that they can bring. So the first one is what most people think about. You've got your mage, your magic user, right? Capable of turning these magic words into reality. And if you think about it, that's kind of what coding is like. You're typing these words into a computer and sometimes they don't even really make much sense, but something comes out at the end that's new and different and you created that. And so it feels like magic in a way. So that would be if coding was a game, these would be your magic users, your coders. But there's also, you've got to have some rogues in there too. These type of characters are always finding your secret entrances, your traps, they're sneaking around. And so you've got QA people here, testers, security people, trying to make sure you're not getting hacked into and even your users sometimes. I know I've had experiences where a user will come back to me with some kind of story of them using my software in a way that I never would have anticipated. So they can fit in there as well. You've also got the bards. And Bardscraft, compelling tells about the team and the product. They're out there to really just tell the world about what you're working on and what you're doing. And so they're taking the text about your project and making it accessible to people, telling the story in a way that's interactive and people can relate to. So for that team roles in your technical community would be copywriters, documentation writers, translators, community outreach, basically anyone that's using words to relate to people and tell them about the project and what they're doing. Then we have the fighters. These people I thought they're kind of down in the trenches. They're doing the dirty work that no one really sees sometimes because they're behind the scenes. And with that, if you've got a system administrator, a database administrator, dev ops, even some back end folks, basically these are the people that keep everything running so everyone else can do their job and use the product. Finally, or not finally, but we have the artisan. These type of people really make things accessible and unique and beautiful in your product. You've got your designers, your user interface people, user experience, accessibility, front end developers. They take what everyone else has created and put that nice sheen on it for other people to see and other people to interact with. And they too really contribute this crucial role that if people can't figure out how to use your software, if people look at it and say, I don't know how to use this. I don't think it makes sense. That's why we need these artisans around to help us make our software look the best it can be. And then this is often the most overlooked one. Every team, whether you're in a game or in life or in your career, you need a healer. It's healers can soothe all manner of wounds. If people are fighting within your team, they can help you with that. If you've got a thousand runaway bugs in your code, they can help you with that. And if there's one thing that I would say that we need more of in our technical communities, open source would be healers. Because these are your support people, your community managers, and really I think everyone can be sort of a healer in their own way. We've been talking a lot about empathy and empathy is something that anyone can use and apply in their communities to really create a better experience for everyone. And so I think everyone can kind of contribute in that way and the world needs more healers. But at the end of the day, open source is about more than just code. People say, oh well, this person is a great coder. So nothing else should matter. And if there being a terrible toxic person besides that, I think that is not all that matters because it's not just about the code. There are people behind the code. And open source is about community also. Community is what binds us together. Not how many lines of code you wrote, not how many issues you filed, but how you affected the lives of the people around you. And that's what I want people to leave here with today. A way to contribute to the teams and the organizations around you. A way to become a hero in your own way. Thank you.
