My name is Ralph. I'm a researcher at Technician Institute in Munich and you may have heard about all this stuff concerning SSL and men in the middle that you did note our meltdown of this year. So what we propose is following a suggestion by Kai Engert to have a little tool. You may know convergence, okay? So this is a setup of our tool. You have some user surfing, going to a server and then back checking with our notary server if she's seeing the correct certificate. Our server does the check. You get a report of the result and what happens. Okay. So far so good. And this is what everything changes because unlike convergence or perspectives, what we propose now to do is to trace through to the server. So Alice does a trace route across the men in the middle, reports the result to our cross bear tool. And this actually has a list of hunting tasks that you can pull from the server. So any user out there can pull this hunting task list and also do trace routes for us to the server. And the whole goal now is to get a good estimate of where the men in the middle is sitting in this case in the left corner. And it's usually a Wi-Fi access point in this case. But that's what we're interested really in. We want to collect data. Where is the man in the middle? What is he doing? That's what we do as a researcher. So Bob reports, we get the results and we evaluate all that stuff. I don't have much time to go into details here, but of course, the more users we have, the more accurate our traces will be. And our hope, for example, is can we distinguish if we have a state level attacker where the man in the middle is sitting on the border router of the autonomous system, or do we have some weird hacker or black hat who's sitting on the Wi-Fi access point of some hotel. That's what we propose to do. It's a young project. We have written most of it. First release will be mid-January, but we need Bob's and Bobina's to use it. Feel free to talk to me after the talk here. I'll be sitting somewhere over there and you can access our website, find us on Twitter or here. Well, that's all from me. Thanks. And actually, you've got two minutes and 50 seconds if you want to take questions. Are you good? Sure. Okay. We have Harold Angels with microphones, so please just try to flag them down and we'll head over to you as quickly as possible. Again, because there are many more people watching this on the streams, they won't hear you unless you speak into a microphone. So please go ahead and if you have a question, say it into the mic and find one of these guys. They'll come to you. Any questions? One down here. Can you only use data from people that are sure that they are in a man in the middle attack or can you use data from everyone? You can use it with any Firefox at the moment, whatever your situation is in. It has two components. One is the guarding part, which is exactly like convergence. In fact, convergence is one of our backends. Or you can use the second component as well where you pull the hunting tasks and work for us. So for a moment, it's only Firefox, manpower and all that. More questions? Okay. Give them a huge round of applause for finishing on time.


On Monday afternoon, Bobby J. Blackburn, who Prestonsburg police officers say used his cell phone to text underage females to try to get them to engage in sexual activities, appeared in Floyd District Court. Prestonsburg police say on Thursday, May 24th, 26-year-old Bobby J. Blackburn, pastor of Elevate Church in Prestonsburg, sent sexually explicit texts to a 17-year-old female in the attempt to get her to engage in a sexual act with himself and another juvenile. The texts were reported to the police before anything physical happened, which officers say would have resulted in a rape charge. In order to meet the qualification of rape 3rd, you have to be in a position of authority, which Blackburn is the manager of G. of Orleans and Prestonsburg. She was an employee of G. of Orleans and Prestonsburg at the time of the offense. As a matter of fact, the conversations began as a professional conversation about things going on at work. Sergeant Shurtliffe told the court a 3rd juvenile went to the police station the next day stating that she was the one who sent the texts in question, but she soon recanted. She became emotional and challenged her statement and stated that she was coerced by Blackburn and was followed by the Prestonsburg police department to make that statement on his behalf. I returned to the camera system that we have at the police department and did verify that Blackburn followed her to Prestonsburg police department and has been able to see him pulling in the department in the parking lot immediately behind this juvenile. I was also able to obtain text messages from juvenile number two during an on-record interview, which Blackburn engaged in a conversation with her at the same period of time that proves that Blackburn had the phone during the same period of time that the explicit text messages were sent. However, Blackburn's defense attorney Steve Owens says he can prove that Blackburn did not have his phone during that time. Well, the phone was being used by people who were working for him at a cell and shaved ice to make credit card transactions and I have those credit card transactions and I'm going to supply those to the police and I have statements from those people that those credit card transactions were made by them using that phone. Judge Eric Hall bound the case over to the grand jury and ordered that Blackburn remain on home incarceration.


Hello, David Diga Hernandez here, and you're watching Spirit Church here on the Encounter TV Network. I'm finishing now my series on religious spirits by talking to you about the spirit of pride. Now, the tricky thing about the religious spirit of pride is that those who struggle with it, and those who are under its influence, never know that they are. So, I want to show you signs that you are under the influence or that someone you know is under the influence of the spirit of pride, and this is one of the most vicious of all the religious spirits. So, it's very important that you hear this message, not only so you can discern the spirit of pride, but so that you can prevent it from gaining influence in your life. But first, Stephen Maktuzuma is here with me. He's going to lead you in some very anointed worship, and then we're going to get right into this message. To finish now, my series on religious spirits here is Stephen Maktuzuma. Just to see to behold you as my King. Gotta be you. Just to see to behold you as my King. I'm going to take you now to John chapter 8 where we're going to read a story about the Pharisees, Jesus, and a woman caught in sin. Now, this story I believe best demonstrates the religious spirit of pride because the Pharisees were so filled with pride that they were willing to take the life of someone just to prove a point. Let's go now to John chapter 8. I'm going to begin reading at verse number 1. The scripture says, Jesus returned to the Mount of Olives, but early the next morning he was back again at the temple. A crowd soon gathered and he sat down and taught them. As he was speaking, the teachers of religious law and the Pharisees brought a woman who had been caught in the act of adultery. They put her in front of the crowd. Teacher, they said to Jesus, this woman was caught in the act of adultery. The law of Moses says to stone her, what do you say? They were trying to trap him into saying something they could use against him, but Jesus stooped down and rode in the dust with his finger. They kept demanding an answer, so he stood up again and said, all right, but let the one who has never sinned throw the first stone. Then he stooped down again and rode in the dust. When the accusers heard this, they slipped away one by one beginning with the oldest until only Jesus was left in the middle of the crowd with the woman. Then Jesus stood up again and said to the woman, where are your accusers? Didn't even one of them condemn you? No, Lord, she said, and Jesus said, neither do I go and sin no more. Now, I have to ask the question here and forgive me if this is too crude, but how exactly did the Pharisees catch the woman in the act of adultery? I suspect that they had set a trap for her and where was the man who was caught in adultery also? I suspect he was a part of setting that trap. These religious people were so fixated on proving a point. They were so jealous of what Jesus was accomplishing. They were so closed-minded to the truth that he was teaching that they were willing to sacrifice the life of a woman in order to prove a religious point. Now, we see that wisdom in Jesus demonstrated. He gives both grace and mercy. He says, neither do I condemn you. That's mercy. Go and sin no more. That's grace. And also, he shows mercy while fulfilling the law. Jesus never said, don't stone her. What Jesus instead said was, let he without sin cast the first stone. In other words, go ahead and fulfill the law, but I want you to take responsibility individually if you believe you are sinless and you're the one who should cast judgment. So, it's perfectly wise what Jesus did in addressing this situation. But when looking at that story, we see a few, I should say, character traits or signs of the religious spirit. Because when you look at the Pharisees, at least the ones who interacted negatively with Jesus, you see the religious spirit of pride. So, having looked at that story and having studied the New Testament interaction between the Pharisees and Jesus, we can see these very clear signs of the religious spirit of pride. And again, it's very important that you be open as you're hearing this because those who battle with this religious spirit, this religious mindset or paradigm, never are aware of the fact that they, in fact, battle with this spirit. So, the signs are, number one, the religious spirit looks for reasons to argue. The religious spirit of pride does. Number two, it looks for reasons to disconnect. Number three, it looks for reasons to condemn. Number four, it looks for reasons to show off knowledge. Number five, it looks for reasons to criticize. So, we see the Pharisees constantly trying to argue with Jesus, trying to disconnect themselves from him even though they had never really landed their ears to hear the truth he was speaking. They looked for reasons to condemn people. They looked for reasons to show off their knowledge, to demonstrate that they, in fact, were the ones with the truth, or so they thought. They looked for reasons to criticize Jesus and criticize people. They put burdens on people that God did not intend for those people to bear. So, looking at each one of those signs now, let's break them down. Number one, the religious spirit of pride looks for reasons to argue. People who are religious and filled with pride care more about making points than they do about people. And this is demonstrated perfectly in the story. They wanted to make a point. They wanted to trap Jesus. And in doing so, they were willing to risk the life of a person. They lacked love and empathy and mercy. Now think about that poor woman who came trembling before Jesus. She must have been terrified. They had no thought of that. All they were concerned about was getting their points across. All they were concerned about was trapping Jesus. Now, of course the word of God is true. Of course we understand that the Bible is clear. We understand that God has spoken a clear message to us. But that doesn't necessarily mean that your interpretation of the word is always accurate. So, in looking to the word, we must recognize that the word of God is infallible, but our interpretation is not. So, we must try to avoid this spirit that causes us to want to argue. We want to be combative. I see it all the time, especially online. People will ask questions. And you can always tell when they're asking a question out of sincerity and when they're trying to ask a question in order to start a dialogue, in order to start an argument where they can just attack the person they're presenting the question to. Now, this is a sign also of immaturity.  The Scripture condemns this. This is something that we should, as believers, avoid. And that is a sign of the religious spirit. Number two, the religious spirit of pride looks for reasons to disconnect. I had a woman one time contact our ministry asking about our doctrinal beliefs. She explained that she went through our website and she saw, in her words, You believe in Jesus. You believe he rose from the dead. You believe he was crucified for our sins and so forth. She basically named all of the essentials of the Christian faith. And then she went on to explain that that wasn't enough. She said, I want to make sure that there's nothing with which I disagree. She said, I want to go through all your teachings. I want you to answer all my questions about every little idea, every little doctrine, every little verse that I can think of that's important to me. And I want to see if you disagree with me. And if you disagree with me on any of these issues, I don't want my son watching your YouTube channel. Well, of course, we just sent her the link to our YouTube channel so that she can go and watch the teachings herself. But I thought that was so odd and I think it's interesting because Christians are really the only group of people that will do this. You look at any other group of people. And this is not a compliment, by the way. I can already hear it. Some people will hear what I'm saying. Well, that's right because Christians have the truth and we should be careful. That's not a compliment. Christians are the only ones who will disconnect from people based upon small things that don't matter instead of focusing on the essentials that unite us. So this is a sign of a religious spirit. They look for reasons to disconnect. They demand agreement exactly in every single area or they attack. I've had people go through my stuff and if I'm preaching a sermon on healing, mind you, the topic is healing. They will go and say about that sermon, oh, but the gospel is not about healing and then they'll go on and explain the gospel. And I'm thinking, yes, of course, that's not what the gospel is about. That was a message on healing. And basically they're looking for you to constantly teach 100% what they believe. Otherwise, you're not of God. I disconnect. That is a religious spirit. They disconnect from challengers. They disconnect from people who could otherwise sharpen them because they take disagreement as a threat. And here's the truth. Those who have the truth have nothing to fear. If we have the truth, we should not fear questions because ultimately questions will lead to the same conclusion that we found. And so if someone is afraid of questions, if someone is very divisive to the point that they will disconnect from you because you ask questions about what they believe, that person likely has a religious spirit. They isolate themselves in pride and in anger and they call that sanctification be warned. Isolation is not the same as sanctification. Just because you are isolated doesn't mean you are sanctified. In fact, isolation leads to all sorts of troubles. The scripture talks about accountability being a very important aspect of the Christian life. Just because you are isolated doesn't mean you are sanctified. Just because you are alone in a belief doesn't mean you are right in a belief. So these people leave no room for discussion. They see room for discussion as compromise. They see agreeing on the essentials as a problem or as a compromise, again, on their Christian faith. They don't want to even think about doing anything like that. And that is number two. So number one, it looks for reasons to argue. Number two, it looks for reasons to disconnect. Number three, it looks for reasons to condemn. They condemn their brothers and sisters. They condemn those because they themselves are under condemnation. Remember, religious spirits torment the people under its influence. Those who are of a religious mindset torment themselves. They live under guilt. They live under fear. So people who feel condemned condemn others. On the other extreme, people who feel self-righteous condemn others. But a true believer will never look for a reason to condemn someone, though they will address sin. They will look for ways to show mercy and grace. They will look for ways to give hope in an area where someone is lacking hope. So this religious spirit enjoys that condemnation.  You need to talk about hell. You need to talk about judgment and righteousness and holiness.   This is demonic in nature. I've seen people condemn others because of the way they do ministry or because they disagree with people on certain doctors. I've had people condemn people that I've interviewed. My goodness. I did an interview with Pastor Benny Hinn. And many of the religious community, they'll say, oh, his nephew did this, an explosive look. I know his nephew. I know Pastor Benny. And I can tell you firsthand account, a lot of that was very inaccurate. And I'm using this just as an example. I'm not here doing apologies for Pastor Benny. But I will say this. The Christians who jumped on that situation, the Christians who looked for a place to disagree, are much like the Pharisees. In other words, he preaches Jesus. He preaches the gospel. He preaches salvation. Oh, but I disagree with him on his doctrines of finance. And therefore, I condemn him. And that right there is a religious spirit. And so they not only condemn people like him, they condemn anybody in the limelight. They condemn any pastor, any leader, any teacher, who speaks in a way that they don't agree with. And it doesn't even have to be unessential. God forbid you should find yourself in a teaching and preaching position. Yes, I understand that there's a greater judgment on those of us who teach. But at the same time, the scripture tells us to not make those jobs more difficult for those who are in those positions.  You are walking in pride and you need to repent and instead walk in humility. Number four, the religious spirit looks for reasons to show off its knowledge. They teach impatiently and become angry if people cannot be persuaded. They will take one or two sentences from myself or people who teach the Word of God and they'll pull it out of context and then they'll show a scripture that seems to condemn that phrase when they didn't give an explanation of either the phrase or the scripture. And so they're just trying to show off their knowledge. They're trying to show everybody how great they are. Look at how well I know the word. Look at how well I've studied. Look at how informed I am. And this is pride. They care more about what they know than how they can serve and they have an unwillingness to learn. In other words, if you tried to help them, if you tried to teach them, if you tried to question them, they come at you with phrases like, well, I know my Bible or I studied the word. I know who I am. Instead of being humble and saying, you know what, I don't know everything and I can always learn when it comes to the Word of God. Number five, the religious spirit looks for reasons to criticize. This is often rooted in jealousy and insecurity. And people will say, well, I'm not jealous. I'm just zealous. No. Jealousy comes from insecurity. In other words, you have this sense of superiority when you can tear others down because of what you perceive as an error. And again, guys, I need to make this very clear. I am all for defending the faith. I am all for speaking out and speaking truth. But the reality is that there are going to be things with which we disagree with other believers all the time. I think about Peter and Paul. They had a disagreement and Paul did confront Peter. But the truth is they were still brothers and they were still both considered believers and they were both still going to heaven and they were both still working together in the gospel. So we have to be careful with how we approach these things. So that jealousy that these Pharisees have and other ministries success. This need to be the hero.  This is an issue. The religious spirit of pride looks for all the reasons to criticize. I've seen it, for example, people in my circles. Yes, I understand. We don't need fog machines in lighting to reach the world. But if someone wants to use that to decorate their church, why on earth is that such a big issue? We criticize things on fog machines. You have church on a certain day when you should have it on this day or you didn't pronounce God's name the way I pronounce God's name or you're doing the ministry method a little bit differently than I would do. They're very judgmental. They're constantly looking for differences that they can criticize. And this is not godly. This is pride. This is a religious spirit and we must be delivered from it. So if you're someone who's recognizing your traits in here, you need to repent. If you're someone who just recognizes these traits oh my goodness, I've seen people like that. Well, here's how you handle them. You do not respond to pride with pride. The scripture says a soft answer turns away wrath. In other words, you respond to pride with humility. When people criticize me, when people come against me, typically, number one, first of all, I usually just ignore it and let them say what they're going to say. I've had people twist my words. I've had people take what I've said out of context. I've had people take things that I've repented of teaching because we're all still learning and still throw it in my face and say, oh, this is what he taught years ago. Look, that's the devil's work. And these religious people do the devil's work. But I'm saying to you that we must respond with humility and grace and kindness and understanding. And instead of having that immature approach by saying, well, I disagree with you on this specific doctrine or I disagree with you on that doctrine, that we disconnect. That doesn't mean we argue or condemn or criticize or try to show our knowledge to be better than the other person's knowledge. This simply means that we work together through them as brothers and sisters in Christ. So again, I'll show you the signs of religious spirit of pride. Looks for reasons to argue, looks for reasons to disconnect, looks for reasons to condemn, looks for reasons to show off knowledge and looks for reasons to criticize. And that is it for the lesson. I want to pray with you now. I want to pray that God would keep you from falling into this trap, this isolated, angry place of having a religious spirit of pride and coming to the place where you're condemning this brother or that brother because they don't agree with every little bit of doctrine like you do. Let us pray right now that God would keep us humble, that God would keep us teachable, that God would keep us in grace and truth. So Father in Jesus' name I pray for that one receiving this prayer right now and I ask you Lord in the name of Jesus that you would touch and that you would give wisdom to each and every one of us. Well that we're asking you for the wisdom for grace and truth for righteousness and mercy. Help us to find that balance in you Lord and your love in the name of Jesus we pray. I want you to say it because you agree say Amen. Well that is it for the lesson. I want to welcome now the new members of Spirit Church there you are up on the screen.

Okay I'm going to read your comments now from last week again this is from the teaching religious spirits guilt and fear Kristin Faith writes he is not looking for perfection he is looking for progress that's going to stick with me for a long time thank you. Naylee writes you have helped me view Christianity on another level I thought fear was a normal thing and I've been living with it but from today's sharing there is no fear and love how powerful is that I thank God for your life to be honest you are really helping me to grow glory to God you are greatly blessed well thank you Naylee for writing in I'm very glad to know that the Lord is touching you through this ministry remember I want everyone to know this is the Holy Spirits Network this is the Holy Spirits Channel he can do through our content whatever it is he wants to do so you'll never know what's going to happen Isaac Aguilar writes thank you evangelist David for today's message this was something I really needed to hear praise Jesus for his peace and faithfulness wonderful worship from Stephen too may God continue to bless the ministry in Jesus' name and the final comment to writes God bless you David every time I watch you I'm encouraged in my walk with Jesus you make the Holy Spirit real to me every time I listen to you lots of love from my family well this channel really does this content really does carry the anointing of the Holy Spirit on it people get healed people get set free people can fill the presence of God just from watching this content and that I find amazing now I want to give you a test right now don't tune me out I'm going to test you now this test I'm going to give to you is a test of your love for Jesus this is a test of where your heart is this is a test as to how disciplined you are in the Christian faith we often say things like Lord whatever you ask of me I'll do it Lord however you want me to I'll surrender Lord whatever you want to do through my life do it but then he asks us to do difficult things and we become disconnected from those promises that we made to him only moments earlier so here's a test I want to give you I'm going to show you a verse that talks about how your heart is tested check this out it's in Matthew chapter 6 I'm going to begin reading at verse number 19 don't store up treasures here on earth where moths eat them and rust destroys them and where thieves break in and steal store your treasures in heaven where moths and rust cannot destroy and thieves do not break in and steal wherever your treasure is there the desires of your heart will be given to them now I believe that we must give to the gospel we don't give out of greed we don't give out of guilt we don't give in response to any gimmicks we give so that the gospel can go forward and in doing so we're demonstrating that finances money does not have control over us I'm interested to observe that people often criticize for taking offerings they say oh this is what the preacher is all about this is all he ever wants from you when in fact most of the content that we put out is not about finance at all it's actually the gospel it's teaching that we put out for free but in order to keep all of this running we need resources in order to keep reaching the people we're reaching we need resources and people who love the lord and people who love the gospel don't have an issue with that so I want to challenge you to step out in faith and take this test this is always good to do to put the flesh in check to say to the flesh I'am gonna obey God no matter what fear says I'm gonna obey God no matter what my checkbook says I'm going to obey God no matter what my emotions tell me or what people around me may say I'm going to step out in faith and trust him and if you will focus on the gospel God will focus on your house if you will focus on the gospel God will focus on your needs So, here's my challenge.

So, I think Professor Solanki explained everything about this bulk creep combination, we are till the diffusion. So, I hope you can put the diffusion values here, like what is put with a peak doping concentration. And suppose you want 300 nanometer junction and the sheet resistance of around say 70 or 50 ohms per square. So, you can check these values to get I mean you can modify these values to get that kind of sheet resistance and junction depth. The other way around is that you know the peak depth peak doping concentration and you want to achieve a certain junction depth, then you can put these values to get to see what is the sheet resistance with this those values. So, you can play with these two parameters to find out what would be the sheet resistance and junction depth of the after the diffusion. And the diffusion type is n type since this is the front diffusion first front diffusion we are saying and the diffusion profile you can select from here. So, uniform for kind of plasma and implantation and Gaussian and Aaron function for the thermal diffusion. And as Professor Solanki mentioned we can also define the back surface field by going to the rear diffusion. So, here you can enable in and put in the same way only thing is that you will achieve some higher value of the junction depth. So, here it is mentioning around 2.75 micrometer. So, you can adjust these values again to get that kind of back surface field. Only thing is that here you have to put the thing as a p type because it is p plus back surface field. So, it is at the back side. So, we will put the p type thing. So, right now I am removing this part. Now, the bulk recombination if you double click on it you will get the tau value at the bulk. That means, the lifetime you can specify in terms of microsecond you will find the net LLI tau you can specify just these values like 100 microseconds and you can see what is the diffusion length as well as the diffusion length. And this LLI means low level injection because this lifetime is also dependent on the injection level. So, at low level injection this is the value. So, you can specify the front surface recombination velocity again at low level injection you can put say let us say 1000. This is the surface recombination velocity to specify at the front surface how much recombination is happening. And you can see the saturation current density here. Similarly, you can put the rear surface velocity. So, again let us put it 1000 this is just some number I am taking. So, by these three combination you can put the material quality and the surface quality. So, first is bulk recombination that is mentioned in terms of the lifetime of the carrier. Second is the front surface recombination velocity that is in terms of the SRV and the back surface recombination velocity. Now, after selecting all these device parameters now comes the point where we put the excitation thing. So, what kind of excitation we are giving? We are giving the one sun AM 1.5 global. So, the solar spectrum is called the AM 1.5 global spectrum. So, that radiation is falling on the surface of the solar cell. So, to select that first you will not find this thing here. So, you go to the excitation on the top menu. So, here you will find option open. If you click open you will find two kind of excitation given. One is one sun excitation the other one is the scan queue. So, the one sun excitation is used for the normal IV measurement of the IV characteristics. How the cell is operating in practice under the sun and the scan queue is for the measuring the quantum efficiency of the cell. See the basic difference between these two is that it is a basically a white light composing of all the wavelengths of different intensity. So, it has a certain spectrum and this scan queue is a excitation file that contains all the wavelengths, but they are irradiated over the cell separately. So, when I select one sun it will give all the wavelength together and the scan queue will give all the wavelengths separately. So, for primary reason I am selecting one sun for to study the IV characteristics. So, if I open it will automatically select all these things. So, here you can see the spectrum is also selected as 1.5 g dot s p c c. If you double click on it you will find as file selected from the external find. So, if you select the excitation from one sun dot e x c it will automatically select all these things. So, you do not need to mention separately, but here you can see other kind of excitation to m 0 for extradiation application m 1.5 d only direct radiation for concentrated kind of solar cell and m 1.5 g. So, excitation file is selected now the whole thing is set now you can just run the thing and see the effect. So, if you just go for run it will display the results at the bottom. What is the open circuit voltage it is around 624 625 millivolts what is the short circuit current it is 3.248 ampere and what will be the peak power. So, from these three values you can calculate a field factor as well as efficiency. Now, let us look at the graphs if you go the graphs you will show some primary graphs out here. So, the first one is sorry this one is the IV characteristics of the solar cell in the negative direction the current is in this direction in the negative direction. The red one is the IV one and the green one is the power versus voltage. You can just select some portion of the cell to see what is happening exactly out there like how exactly I mean for the greater thing. Other than these IV characteristics you can go for different options like energy bands and generation and recombination distance like that. So, all these things are available in the graph section and you will have in special section all the things like what is the doping density this is the for the p type solar cell I mean p type substrate. If you want to see the junction profile. So, if you select the doping density it is just showing the green one. So, that is the base doping density, but actually there is another red one on the side line here. If you just focus here you will find another doping concentration thing happening here can you find it. So, this is the portion. So, this is the profile of the n type thing the carrier n type dopant atoms and this is the for the p type dopant atoms. So, this is the junction. So, you can see what is the junction depth it is around 320 or something like that and the concentration as we said the concentration we have already defined as 1 e to the power 20 peak concentration at the surface. So, this is the diffusion profile and other than that you can also see other things like carrier density is electrostatic potential all these things you can see. Now, if you go for temporal thing it will find that quantum efficiency at the lowest part, but it is not showing here not able it is desirable because we have selected once an excitation. So, it is not showing if you want to measure if you want to see the quantum efficiency let us go back to the parameter menu.  Now, again run the simulation and now go back to the thing you will find the e q e and i q e and the reflectance. So, this is the e q e this is i q e and this is the reflectance. So, first you go back to this thing parameter page select excitation file as scan q e scan q e and just the run the simulation once again. Now go back to this graph thing and you will find the i q e e q e and wavelength a reflectance against wavelength. I think in the simulator they are just subtracting this i q e from the 100 percent level. So, this is just the subtraction if you want to save the data of this graph just right click on it sorry not right click go to graph go to particular graph go to this graph you will get the copy graph data. See there are four of two defined graph option one is four curve and the other one is single. So, there are four graphs here if you click on particular graph it will show and then you go to this graph option you will find copy graph data you copy it go to notepad file or something else let us say notepad and just paste it will get all the data out here. You go to a particular graph go to this graph option at the menu you will see the copy graph data you copy it and open a notepad file and just paste it there no three are there the first one is source wavelength this one next is the internal quantum efficiency next is external quantum efficiency and the last one is primary. So, if you want to add let me say suppose you have only two graphs and you want to add one more thing just click on this axis you will get the user defined graph thing. So, here you have the x axis as primary source wavelength or lambda then curve one is internal IQV curve two is external IQV sorry EQV and curve three is primary surface reflectance. So, if you do not have the third thing you just you can just select the what is the thing you can also select the log scale semi log scale all these things from here. Basically, in case of you do not understand which curve is giving you. So, you can just go here and remove other two things you go to none you can understand what is the thing legends I do not think it is given here. So, you can draw separately defined kind of graph. So, if you go here you will find defined you can define anything on this curve thing you know the curve might shift on top of another here reflectance is at bottom. So, it is giving in the bottom yeah you can just put on this leg here and we will see the it will show what kind of curve it is it is. So, you can draw separately defined kind of graph. So, if you go here you will find defined you can define anything on this curve thing you know the curve might shift on top of it it is bottom it will show what curve it is and it will also show the value actually what is the data point everybody is fine with the graph thing graph thing is fine. So, the last thing is the batch to make a batch simulation. So, if you go back here is an option for quick batch or batch if you click it it will open a window like this. So, here you can vary different parameters and give the range and you can see you can put the how many number of steps you want to put in this range and you can see what the output the change in the output due to the change of this parameter. So, first let us assume let us change the background doping from say let us say 1 e to the power 15 to 1 e to the power 17 or 18 and let us say number of steps to be 20. So, we will change the background doping from 15 to 18 and we will see the effect on the output thing like what are the output things like base VOC here base VOC means the open circuit voltage only. So, base means here it is not basic kind of thing it is the VOC of the cell. So, all the things are written here is in terms of base VOC base ISC or base PMAX like that. So, this is as the VOC thing the next thing is the base ISC and base PMAX. So, we will change the background doping in this range and we will see the effect on the these three parameters. Now, if you click ok and run it it will run, but it will not show the results actually you have to click in this contact. So, it is a common mistake. So, sometime it does not show. So, you just select quick batch and you will see all the things I mean listed out here the background doping we have selected from 1 e to the power 15 to 1 e to the power 18 in 20 steps. So, there are 20 steps in which it is it has been selected. So, there are sometime problem in this log scale actually sometimes it jumps from in the initial values and in that it splits the other range in some anyway. So, now if you run it you will see the all the values taking place. So, similarly you can put other things too. So, you can go for multiple options and permute them all these options. So, range varying from these two value to these other base resistivity values varying from other thing and you can get all these details I mean the effect of this variation out here. Now, if you have got these results and you want to copy it. So, if you just go to again the graph section will again copy get the thing like copy batch data. So, you will you can just copy from here and put it in notepad file. So, all the things will be again you can save in notepad file. I think this is the basic thing for PC 1D simulation. Now, again if you want to go back to the excitation kind of thing. So, I think we had selected QE thing. So, that is why it had given some bad results I think actually it was set as scan QE that is why it was giving some bad results. So, this is the actual results for once an excitation. So, that is all I hope and one last thing is that if you are not able to put any kind of values you can just open a default file for a silicon solar cell like PV cell and it will it will give the very basic cells saved in the PC 1D software. So, it will give the all the values ready made for you. So, you can see for as made for reference you just go to file option open and you will find all different type of devices loaded here. Yeah, this is bipolar junction transistor and out. So, you can all you can simulate all these things here out here. So, different type of device you can simulate out here. So, for that you have some kind of reference device. So, questions? So, one more can be made is here to help you. So, now you can actually go around and have a look. So, Karthik, James, Nehul and so on is here. So, please when you are in the test take all the popular parameters rather I mean rather not use to the best way. So, what do you think? What do you think is the electrical equivalent circuit of the solar cell? So, what was the equation of solar cell? This is equation of solar cell. What does this represent? This represents diode and this is light generated current, it is a current source. So, you need to have a current source, the current this current the current from the current source is in the opposite direction of the diode. So, diode has to be in the opposite direction. So, diode has to be like this with of course, then you can you need to you can put series resistance and shunt resistance and the here is your voltage. This is light it is light dependent current. So, depends on the light. What is the? I do not think there is any symbol. You can create one. That is I think with photodour or something. How to measure RSH? In RSH you can do it looking at the IV curve of solar cell. From the IV curve and there are various methods by for measuring series and shunt resistance of a solar cell. So, measuring typical value for RSH is in it should be in milli ohms 1 to 5 milli ohms it should be small RSH should really be small and RSH the shunt resistance should really be large. So, it will be 500 ohms kilo ohms that range. So, a shunt resistance should be very large ideal infinity series resistance should be very low ideally 0. If you connect many cells in series RSH should be added. It is just like you are adding if one series resistance of cell is 1 milli ohm. If you are putting 10 in series it will become 10 milli ohm of the combination. So, I do not think the lecture on the modules is being planned in this 5 days, but in the when we discuss the module we discuss what is the IV curve of the module in which we add series resistance, divide the shunt resistance, add the current voltage whatever depending on the series and parallel combination of cells. So, similar to this you can also write the IV characteristic of a module. Of course, this the equation that you see on the top does not take care of the series resistance and shunt resistance, but you can also add within that series and shunt resistance and you can have the modified IV equation of a solar cell. Just listen one minute just do on one assignment without that you will not get T today on your computer make a solar cell which is exactly 10 percent efficient not 9.5 not 10.5 10 percent efficient and show me the IV curve of the 10 percent efficient solar cell exactly 10 not 9.5 not 10.5. So, what does it mean you need to adjust the parameters such that you get a 10 percent efficient solar cell. So, do not write directly cell efficiency equal to 10 percent except that you can adjust any parameter that you want. Do it and as soon as you make a 10 percent efficient solar cell you can leave for the T. One more thing so the simulator will not give you the efficiency directly.  So, you can calculate the fill factor you can you know the V o c I s c and then from the last expression you can actually calculate the efficiency. So, you do this it gives this. So, you know this you know V o c I s c you know this from here. So, you can calculate the fill factor once you know the fill factor this is the expression for the efficiency V o c I s c fill factor divided by P in. What is P in you have to take 1000 watt per meter square. So, make sure that you are using your cell area also appropriately 1000 watt per meter square and convert meter square into centimeter square otherwise your efficiency will be some 1000 or something V m voltage at the maximum power point. So, this just draw the V m and I m. So, the V m is the voltage at the maximum power point and I m is the current at the maximum power point and from the V i curve which also show the I s c and V o c. So, from the V i curve you know I s c and V o c value and at the maximum power point current at the maximum power point is I m voltage at the maximum power point is V m. So, now, you need to make a 10 percent efficient solar cell. If you have got the 10 percent please help your neighbor please help your neighbor to get 10 percent. Yeah, British go around and help people 10.33 not acceptable 10 it has to be 10 9.96 is very close. So, you can change any parameters you have to make actually the default file gives what efficiency default file gives. So, the default file gives you 13 percent.  So, you can start with the default file which gives you 13 percent efficiency go from 13 percent to 10 percent by changing the parameter by making the worse parameter. If anybody got the 10 percent please help your neighbors 10.4 is not acceptable 10.04 is ok 99.4 9.94 9.94 is ok you still not got the 10 ok where are you what you got yes it is practical you can do that possible I mean you cannot make a 5 micron junction test you can make up to 1 micron yes yes that is why people want to make a thinner than thinner going deeper is very difficult you got it why I mean you cannot make a bed cell normally it is difficult to make a good cell, but I think bed was should be easy what surface recombination velocity. So, least is better right you have to make take the worse yeah. So, you have to take 1 million 10.46 then you will get less than 10 percent immediately you take 1 microsecond or 0.1 microsecond. So, to make the choice worse. So, help others anybody who got it help others otherwise T is getting cold got it how much you are getting yeah you have to be very close to 10 you can change it one simple thing to change is reflectance you will reflect more light exactly 10 percent ok wonderful. So, now you can go for T 10.15 is still large difference people were people make so much effort to just increase by 0.1 percent ok. So, one simple way to reduce the efficiency is to increase the reflectance very simple other simple way to do it increase your decrease your life time base life time. Third simple way is increase your surface recombination velocity is to very high value 11.29 still high 10.7 no it is a big difference 9.96 is ok let us stop now because the next section will get delayed.


Now, we also know we have some more insight to this level here. Actually, this is something we cover all the time in here, and this is why it's going up, is that we look for, first off, not just the heat map like this, but did they stay in the book and transact? And they did here. Some of it was pulled, but a lot also transacted here. This is higher liquidity, and it started to transact into that area. And then what we also know, too, or what we look for is not only the first move into that area, we're looking for just, this is only like a point of S&P, full point or so. We want to see strong selling coming, moving it away from this previous range. And this isn't really it. They might come back down and retest this and then do it, and we'll be on the lookout for it. But it's not enough of a point move, and it's really not quite enough of selling. So it comes back up into the range again. And so this breakdown failed here, basically. That's the analysis we typically go through. Now with the stop iceberg tracker here, we have a lot more information and understanding of what happened here. We know that these are stops being triggered into high liquidity here on the bid. We also know that there's icebergs here on the other side absorbing those stop orders. So we're looking to see if then maybe we get more buyers starting to come in here because it came back into the range and see how they're pulling now and now we're looking for back to 0.9 and 0.9 and a half. Let's see if we get the buyers and try to reach back up into these areas now. So we're looking at the bid as well in the skew here in the auction. And then we're looking to see if they start to maybe pull on the offer and we get buyers. And then we're looking for 0.9, 0.9 and a half for now, maybe we'll get back up into our 10 level up here again. Now this is just reading in this small timeframe here. But yeah, we have an understanding of what happened here just at around 11.13 or 11.12 and maybe 30 seconds or so, 45 seconds. See how they're starting to pull here on the offer? We just need the buyers to lift it and then this will complete the pattern. And here they are. So let's see if we can get even further here, maybe back up to 10. We'd love to see it trade up in this 10, 10 and a half, that was our previous target here. Okay, now what we went over here just now in this small timeframe and a lot of help here from I think from the Stop Iceberg Tracker as well. But then we can do this on much higher timeframes. It's the same concept, it's the same analysis. We just zoom out. We look at the higher timeframes. So like this example up here, you'd be looking at the higher timeframe. Basically the same thing.  But above the range here, buyers come in and they break the range, but how much do they break the range by? Okay, from here on up to here, so we're looking at just like a point, point and a half. Volume looks pretty good. Big green dots, we like that. They also look like they stayed in the book here and transacted. I'm kind of shocked they did not trade into this 11 and a quarter because that would be perfect if they did to illustrate this point of absorption, but they did not and then the sellers come in and hit it pretty hard here. They start hitting the bid hard here. So anyway, same idea though, it only went a point. Big volume, that looks good, but no follow through. Once we see sellers down below where these guys broke out from, which lines up very nicely here as you can see at this kind of 09 and a quarter level, and this is where the sellers came in and drove it lower. So yeah, same idea and then you can see them following down on the offer and then pulling on the bid as well. See how they're pulling? Same idea, okay, just a higher, higher time frame look here, okay, and it went down to the bottom of the range here and then that one also failed. I had to break down and it came back up into the range. All right, let's go back here to look at where we are now. Okay, so we're up at our 10 and a half now. Okay, still looking for it to go a little bit higher. Let's see if we can get up to maybe this 11 or 12 area here. We're finding the buyers. Yeah, now we're up at 11, 11 and a half, almost 12 there. Still looking for 12. I like the liquidity up above here. I don't know if we'll get into it, but let's take a look. They keep on avoiding the bigger transactions here, the higher time frame liquidity, and then we just find sellers come in and come right back down to like 10 or nine or eight and a half here. See, they're adding more in as well. Yeah, we're just not finding buyers interested in that higher liquidity here. They start to veer away from it.


It was a day to thank legislators and increase awareness during Minnesota Public Television Day at the Capitol. Members of our Lakeland Public Television staff as well as staff members from Minnesota's six other public television stations spent the day in St. Paul to help increase awareness of the state's public TV stations, the effect of their varied programming on constituents and to encourage legislators to continue interacting with local stations throughout the legislative session and beyond. The day also included a special presentation by Governor Mark Dayton in the Capitol Rotunda.

My name is Peter Nikolov, I'm Chief Technology Officer for Opsani and I will tell you about continuous optimization as a server. First, a few words about me. I have been building cloud infrastructure from the early days of cloud before it was even called cloud, but I have also used cloud in for many different applications and for many large systems at scale. I have co-founded Opsani where our mission is to improve cloud operations using machine learning.  The customer was a large online event in the new conferencing provider. They moved from their on-prem data center to the cloud. They were fantastic. They finished that in just a few months, which is amazing. It was a really happy and successful experience for them. They were a poster child for DevOps. Their developers were carrying pagers, just operating their services had really the power to do what they needed and bring features quickly. It also allowed them to expand their market. In addition to the larger companies that they had as customers, moving to cloud allowed them to move to smaller customers where instead of a whole server they could use a fraction of a server. And that is something that cloud enabled for them. But it did bring in its own problems and before you go into the problem, I will tell you the answer is 7.5 quintillion. So let's see first, we will return to this, but let's see first what the problem was and what their experience was when they were onboarding, especially on the smaller accounts. So their developers will build the code for their application. They would deploy it, run through different environments, following best practices, and then once they put it in production, they would notice performance lags. They needed to be able to share the same knowledge between multiple customers having different amount of resources but sufficient to be able to operate. So of course they did the thing that everybody does. They started monitoring real user performance. They started building low generators, synthetic low generators, and they started using complicated ATM tools that were able to get high visibility into the performance of the application. And with very significant amount of work to understand why the performance is what it is and try to tune it. Of course that takes a long time. So in the meantime, the solution is over provision. Give it more resources, hopefully that you will get enough performance and you do by putting a lot more resources than what the application needs. You will able to get that higher performance. And then with more in-depth analysis of the data, things that were taking pretty much six to eight weeks at a time, they were able to feedback into the testing process, more details, as well as to development. Which on the surface sounds good, but when you realize that one of the benefits of cloud is moving to DevOps and to high velocity, they were having releases every week. So if it takes them six weeks to optimize a release, you understand that they are significantly behind on that. So the result was that they ended up over provisioning a lot and then they put a lot of work into manually optimizing the services and they were always looking back. So this is kind of like driving on the freeway by looking in the rear view mirror. So let's look at an example. How should this work? What is exactly the problem? We'll use as an example the online boutique. It is a reference application that Google built to demonstrate best practices for microservices and generally help people understand how to use Kubernetes. So this is a e-commerce application. It consists of 11 different services and you see them here on the diagram that work together. And then if you want to, and it's a good example of any application that you, probably most applications that you would want to deploy. If you want to put this application into production, you have to tune it and make sure that you can reach the performance goals and work with a number of customers that you have and you need to be able to handle the performance you need. So it is an 11 tier application and it comes pre-configured with certain parameters and parameter values as their defaults. And if you just deploy it like that, you're probably wasting a lot of resources and you don't know if you're meeting your performance objectives. So when you look at the configuration, what is that configuration? There are two configurations per service. That is the CPU and the memory. And again, that is a very simple case. Most applications, a lot more. They may have Java, you may have network configuration, kernel parameters and so on. So there may be a lot of other configuration, but let's just focus on these two. Even if we decide that there's only eight possible settings for the CPU and for the memory value on these 22 different parameters, you end up with 75 quintillion different configurations that you may use. And only one of them is the optimal. So what does this mean? 75 quintillion, okay, we have computers, they can do that quickly, right? Well, if you compute that, you will see that if you can try 100 different configurations every second, which is hard. You have to run a lot in parallel, but say you can do 100 configurations a second. It will take 23 billion years to complete and to go through the full space. And you really don't have that time because only in five billion years the solar system will disappear. And your business has even less time than that because your development team releases a new version every week. So you really don't have that long. So what we did is we connected the online boot tip to our continuous optimization service and decided to see what the actual tuning should be for running it in production. And the results were that we were able to trim costs to 79% or reduce costs by 79% and we were able to increase throughput more than 2X. The resulting efficiency was an increase of over eight times on the number of transactions that it could do per dollar. Now the most interesting part here, so first this is by itself is amazing, but we were also able to do that with only 20 minutes of setup, one of our solution engineers configured it and connected it to our optimizer. And it took about two days to tune and get this result. And here we will show the dashboard, show you what continuous optimization looks like in our product. So this is the application that we have optimized, the Google online boot tip. And then if you look at the configuration, these are all the 22 different parameters, CPU and memory for each of the microservices. And you can see what their original values are as they came from the manifest from GitHub. So, as our system went through a number of steps, they find an optimal value or optimal set of values on the exact goal deluxe configuration that is exactly perfect with respect to meeting the performance objectives and not over provisioning, not adding too much resources. And then you can see the results in improved performance, reduce significantly reduced cost, and the efficiency in the performance cost ratio efficiency is improved. Coming back to our presentation. Once you have continuous optimization as a service, how does this change the process? How does this improve the picture that I showed you earlier? Well, by adding continuous optimization in production, then you have real time autonomous changes to the configuration and tuning of those configuration to match the current load and the current application behavior. And that is the core. This is the first thing because that works immediately that works on your production system and it is working at the moment. It adapts to the current services. If you like, you can also use that in your pre-code environment or in performance test environments to shift left the performance tuning and experience to see how this works even in development. So this allows you to start working with performance even earlier. So the result of this, of having a powerful tuning is that you have higher performance, lower costs, and actually what we have observed is also better stability. So what is continuous optimization as a service and where can you be applied? You can work on a single application. You can attach it to one service if you have just one SaaS application and that's your main app. You can attach it to that. Or if you're a larger company, you have a service delivery platform where all of your applications or development groups run their applications on that platform. You can attach it to the platform as a whole and work with all services. It yields to thousands of services and that process is autonomous. It onwards all the applications that it finds on the platform. And then what the tuning that happens, happens continuously. It happens every time when there's a new code release, it happens when the load profile changes. You have different customers or different mix of requests are coming or if you have an infrastructure upgrade, I say you use new machine types, different cloud provider, different third party libraries. These are all things that can significantly impact the performance of your application and how it behaves and the resource use that it has. So on each of these changes of optimization can be performed and it will tune it to the specific circumstances. And then the value that it delivers continuously is the higher performance, better performance, more stable, improve the availability of the application and lower cost. So the result of this is, and you have probably seen this in your own projects is that manual workload tuning just doesn't work anymore, not at these speeds, not at the sizes of projects that we have. We have weekly or even daily releases. So the frequencies is so high. There are applications are running on multiple different platforms and have immense variations of different configuration, different configuration settings, many tunable parameters, many things that affect the performance and the cost. So combining all of these things, if you try to do this with manual tuning, or not doing, then you can only work reactively to improve performance. And it is really hard to get to good results and know that you are actually not spending too much money. So I hope I was able to show you that manual workload tuning in today's environment is just impractical. Our systems and my applications change too often. They run on variety of different platforms that have very complicated configurations. The result is that you can see massive waste of resources for performance and as a result also lower availability with continuous optimization as a service, you can outperform your competitors, because your applications are always tuned. You can outsmart them because your developers are spending more time building features instead of tuning and doing trial and error adjustments, and you can obviously outclass them because you have to use your resources more efficiently. If you want to see how to use machine learning to tune and run continuous optimization for your applications, please come to see us and our team at our booth. Thank you.


Vim is an essential part of my workflow and has been basically since I started using Linux. Now I use Vim for any number of things, including my day job where I'm a writer slash editor. And I've spent the better part of two or three years now perfecting my Vim config to the point where it works really well for me, despite the fact that again, I'm not a developer. So what I wanted to do today was talk about five plugins that are really good for non developers. Now, just because I've said that they're for non developers doesn't mean that developers can't find these useful. In fact, there's at least one on this list that is super helpful for developers. But what I wanted to focus on were plugins that are specifically useful for me for non development work. So let's go ahead and jump in. The first one on the list is very hard to freaking explain. And I can say that with absolute passion, because I've tried to explain what VimWiki is many, many times. And you're not supposed to use the word in the divet definitions. So I can't just say VimWiki is a wiki is a piece of wiki software, you know, it doesn't really work that well because what is wiki software? Well, to try to explain what VimWiki is, it's a note taking application. Basically, it's a note taking plugin for them. And it uses a modified version of Markdown. So you if you've used Markdown before, some of that stuff works here fairly well. It's not all here, but some of it is. And the basic idea is, is that you can create links that are pages within side of your wiki.  So I have a whole page with my video idea. So if I hit enter, that'll go into my video ideas, wiki page. And each of these are also links that would link to their own respective pages. And then inside of these, I can like, let's just say I create one, I can go in insert mode, do double brackets, that's going to create a link. And then this is a link. And then I enter, I'll actually enter that brand new created page, which is actually creating a brand new Markdown like text file that I can store whatever I want. And I can create another link, which would then link to another page, or I can do something like there, you know, I can create a list or something like that, or I could do a regular link if I want to say link to a website or something that I could do that, or I could create heading which in in Markdown, it's not the traditional hash sign, it's going to be equal signs. So this would be heading like so. So it's a little bit different than regular Markdown, but you can you kind of get the idea. It's a note taking application. And because it allows you to link to pages within pages, you can kind of create your own hierarchy of link or a link tree of notes. And it's really very, very powerful. And it's very, again, hard to explain what it is. But I use it every single day, again, mostly to take notes for video topics and things for work. So that is VimWiki. Now the second plugin that I want to talk about is the one that is going to be helpful for both developers and non developers, but I use it for I guess both purposes, because I also use it for like configuring window manager files and stuff like that. But basically what this is is called the lemonade. And it is a plugin that basically just closes parentheses and brackets. That's basically what it does. So if I were to open up or going to go into insert mode here and type in a bracket, it's going to automatically provide me with the open and close brackets. If I wanted to go into insert mode again, and say use two quotation marks, it would also open and close the quotation marks. And then I could type inside of them if I wanted to. And then it does the same thing with parentheses. And it does the same thing with single quotes. So if I just do this, it would also do the single quotes. And basically, it just means that when you type in a parentheses, it's going to get automatically give you the end parentheses, or if you type in a bracket, it's going to give you the end bracket. That means you don't have to type those things. And you also lower the chances that you're going to forget to close the parentheses or close the bracket. Now, like I said, you can probably see how this is useful for both developers and non developers, specifically if you're running code. But for me personally, I use it because I use markdown all the time. So if you've ever used markdown before, you'll know that a link looks something like this. So it's brackets, name of the link, and then parentheses, the link, you know, so by having deliminate here, I can save myself some worry over forgetting to close a bracket or parentheses. Basically, that's all it does is very simple. Now, the next plugin that I want to talk about is one that has one purpose and one purpose only. And that is that it remembers your position. Now, for me personally, I often deal with documents that are 20, 30, 40, 50,000 words in length, sometimes even more than that. And when I'm dealing with those large documents, a lot of times I don't get all of my work on that document done in one session, I have to come back to it. And sometimes I just keep it open. I mean, this should be honest, I'm a tab kind of guy, I use tabs all the time. So sometimes those documents just stay open forever. But when I do have to close them, I like to be able to come back and know exactly where I am. So them last place basically just remembers your position. So here I am the latest show notes for the podcast. And I'm going to scroll down to say, this third list item here, and then I'm going to close, quit and close, I'm going to save and close this document. And then I'm going to reopen it. And as you can see, it remembered exactly where I was with the position of the cursor. And that's all them last place does, it does, it doesn't have any other options. It just remembers your position after you've saved and closed. And it is one of those plugins where I just I couldn't do without it because I'm always going back into a document, I really don't want to have to search for where I was, especially if I'm not at the end of the beginning of the document, if I'm at the end of the beginning, the beginning, that doesn't matter so much. But if I'm in the middle somewhere, this is a lifesaver, because it just remembers where I was at. Okay, so the fourth one on the list is called Goyo. Now Goyo is a plugin that is very, it's not something that's going to be for everybody. I can understand that. But if you are someone who likes to write in focus mode, say you've tried a GUI text editor that has focus mode, if you are that type of person, you would like Goyo, basically what Goyo does in I'll enter it now is it basically takes all of your text and removes everything superfluous to it and just puts it in the center so that there's nothing else here. So if let's just say I had a split going here, so so I have a split here and I'm, you know, I could be working in both of these or whatever, but I really don't want the distraction of both of them side by side, but I don't want to close one. So if I just hit my keyboard to go into Goyo, those are technically still open, but I now have focused just on the one that I want to work on, then I can go back to the split if I wanted to and then go back here. Goyo basically is just focus mode for them and it's amazing. And I use it all the time because it just like a lot of times I will have a split open. So I'll have two documents side by side, but I only really need to focus on one when I'm writing. So I go into focus mode or Goyo in this case and do my writing there. And then if I need to go back and, you know, reference something in the split, I can easily go back to the split and then just have all of my focus right here where it needs to be. So that is the fourth one that is Goyo. The last one on the list is called them Markdown. Now this is a plugin that really is only to be good if you focus on writing Markdown. If you're not ever going to write Markdown, this plugin will probably be pretty useless to you. Basically all them Markdown does is colorize Markdown when you use it. So if I had a heading here, so this is a heading like so and it does the same thing for let's just say a H3 heading. This is a heading like so. And it does the same thing for like lists. This is a list. This is a list. And it will also continue the list. See how it automatically put another asterisk there for a list. If I wanted to continue the list, it would do the same thing if I were doing a numbered list. So this is a list. This is a list and so on and so forth. So basically it just color codes things when they're in Markdown because when you use them inside of a terminal, you're not going to get the traditional auto replace of a Markdown editor. So your headings aren't going to all of a sudden become really big text because there's only one size text available to a terminal. Therefore it kind of has to cheat and it's cheats by making a different color. And that's what them Markdown does. And it's again a very simple plugin and one that's not going to be useful for everyone. But if you do write in Markdown, this is a tool that you kind of can't do without simply because it will make things stand out. It'll make the headings look like headings at least in some form or fashion. When you have a list, it'll make it look like a list. And that is really nice. Now I have two bonus ones for you just because it's the holiday season and why the hell not. So the reason why these are bonuses is because technically they're mostly for developers. So they don't really fit in with the rest of lists, but I use them all the time, even though I'm not a developer. And people are always asking me what specifically this one is. And as you can see, I have a list of color codes here. And as you can also see they're color coded with the actual color. And this is not something that them does by default. So if you are someone who does a lot of racing, again, you don't have to be a developer or a CSS website coder or whatever, to do any of this stuff. If you just do a lot of racing, and you use color codes inside of them, this plugin, which is called them CSS color, basically what it does is when it sees a color code in this specific format, it will actually pull the color and then highlight it in that color. So if it's white, it's going to be white if it's this really weird orange color, it's going to be orange and purple purple, you get you get the idea right. Now, like I said, you don't have to be a developer to use this because a lot of people do racing inside of them or they mess around with configuration files for window managers or whatever. And they come across color codes like this. It's really nice to be able to see what that color code actually relates to what color it associates with. So that is Vim CSS color. All the links for these plugins, by the way, will be in the video description. The last one on the list is called nerd tree. Now, nerd tree is entirely superfluous because them has its own file manager built in. But I really don't care about using it. I have always preferred the way nerd tree does things and nerd tree, like I said, is a file manager. So if I were to open up nerd tree, which I have a keybinding for, basically, it just shows you all the files that are in the directory you're currently in and you can navigate between them. So if I wanted to navigate to say this one, I could do that or I could go back to it and go to this one. And, you know, I can just switch between files really easily. And obviously, I'm not limited to the directory that I'm in, I can go up a directory, I can go to the configs in my polybar configuration file that I wanted to, and, you know, do whatever I wanted. And that's basically what nerd tree does. It's a file manager. And it allows you to navigate between your file structure really easily with a keybinding. And you can obviously tweak those key bindings to however you want inside of your configuration file. And it's just really nice to go through and go to different files really easily without having to quit them and then navigate to the file that you want to edit. So like I said, it is superfluous because them has its own file manager. But I prefer nerd tree because of the location of it. And it just seems to work better for me. So those are the two extra ones along with five that I use all the time. And that's basically it for this video. So if you have other really awesome plugins for what you'd consider non development work, I'd love to hear what those things are down in the comment section below. You can follow me and master down or Odyssey, those links will be in the video description. You can support me on Patreon at patreon.com slash Linux cast links for liberapay and YouTube will also be in the video description. Thanks to everybody who does support me on Patreon and YouTube because you're all absolutely amazing without you. The channel just will not be anywhere near where it is right now. So thank you so very, very much for your support. I truly do appreciate it. Thanks everybody for watching. I'll see you next time.
