Hello everyone, welcome to this final mindfulness session of the All Together Better Conference. My name is Kim Siao for those of you who have not been joining me in the previous mindfulness session. Due to my other commitments, this session is delivered to you pre-recorded. And also if for any reason there is any slight disruption due to internet issues, please do bear with me. Having said all that, I believe that this should not detract from your mindfulness experience of being here and now. Now I want to first acknowledge the importance of the country. So I'm delivering this from the land of the Ghana people in Adelaide. So I would like to acknowledge that I recognise the importance of their connection to land, water, culture and community and I respect their elders past, present and emerging. In terms of the structure of this session, I would first like to take the first 10 minutes or so getting us all on the same page of what is mindfulness and I'd like to bust some myths about mindfulness and also share with you the benefits of mindfulness that has been found through research.  I will then, after the talk, give you a guided mindfulness practice. I would like to emphasise that you please look after yourself and stay safe. If for any reason during the meditation you are experiencing some strong emotions, then please do resource yourself and you could do this by opening your eyes and then just taking in your surroundings, listening to sounds and even just get up and go and get yourself a drink of water. Main thing is that you stay safe. Now I'd like to think that this wouldn't happen because the aim of this session really is to help you feel grounded and also hopefully more uplifted by the end of the session. Okay, so what is mindfulness? I'm going to use joint abutments, whom I'm sure many of you would know, definition. So he says mindfulness is awareness cultivated by paying attention in a sustained and particular way on purpose in the present moment and non-judgmentally. So if you think about it, it sounds so simple, right? Just paying attention to right here, right now and being open, not judging whether it's good or bad. But really whilst it's simple, even joint abutments used to say it's simple but it's not easy. And it's not easy because our conditioned mind is such that it thinks and it likes to go back to the past and replay old stories, old worries and it likes to go into the future, planning, being anxious about what's going to happen next, worrying about uncertainties. So what we do need in terms of getting our mind to pay attention to what's here right now is giving it an anchor. So there are many ways for us to anchor our attention and the one that is most readily available and accessible to most of us is the breath. So coming back to the breath helps us to anchor which I'm sure many of you have experienced before. You might even tell your clients take some deep breaths. The other one is the five senses. So it could be listening to sounds. It could be while we're eating, tasting our food, seeing our food, smelling or it could be when we're walking. When we're walking our dogs, when we're walking from our desk to the toilet, we really paying attention to the steps that we're taking. And of course there's sensing the sensations we feel in our body through a body scan, through the practice of mindful movements such as yoga, tai chi and qi kong. Now what's really important and this is the myths is that people think that they can't do mindfulness. They can't do mindfulness because their mind's too busy or they think that they are successful in practicing mindfulness when they don't think, when there are no thoughts. That's actually not true. The mind will often and constantly think. So mindfulness is not really about getting rid of thoughts or just feeling blissful all the time and so we don't want to feel the sadness or the pain in our body or the anger within us. In fact, the attitude we want to cultivate or embrace using joint combat scenes work again is the attitude of just allowing, letting things be, accepting, not judging while we're practicing. We're just really being aware. We put on that beginner's mind. So bringing curiosity to that experience, even if it's our breath. Every breath is a fresh breath and being patient with ourselves, not striving for anything, not closing our eyes and saying, I must be peaceful. So we're not striving and then we're trusting, trusting that we all have that capacity to do this, to be present. So what's the big deal about mindfulness? Well, there are now 17,000 publications showing the positive effects of mindfulness and the evidence are showing that practitioners of mindfulness improve their well-being. They have better self-regulation and people who are depressed and anxious when they practice mindfulness, it lowers depression and anxiety. People are better able to manage their pain and stress through mindfulness. And the reason for that is that when we're able to ground and centre ourselves, whether it's through our breath or through mindful walking, what it's actually doing is that it's activating our parasympathetic nervous system. So while we're focusing on our breath, our heart rate is slowing down, blood pressure is slowing down and the fight, flight and freeze part of our brain, the amygdala, is also coming down. So while it's calming down, it meant that our prefrontal cortex, that part of our brain that can have the responsibility of emotional regulation, executive functioning, making decisions that get activated. And in a therapeutic environment, when you might be interested to know that mindfulness can improve your therapeutic presence. So in other words, you are much more there with your client and as a result, it cultivates compassion, self-attunement and gives you a broader perspective to suffering.  So in fact, the evidence are showing that therapists who meditate are getting better improvements in terms of simple symptom reductions and rate of change for their clients. So I hope that you are convinced now that mindfulness really does work. So what's the difference between meditation and mindfulness? Well, meditation is just really a more formal form of practice of mindfulness. So it's that deliberate training of our mind to pay attention, but we're also strengthening our awareness. So in other words, there's that concentration aspect, that one point of focus aspect of our mind. But at the same time, we're also training our mind to be more spacious and more aware. And so there are different types of meditation, there's mindfulness meditation, there's mantra, there's loving kindness, and there's visualization. So what I'll be taking you through today is sort of a combination of mindfulness meditation and gratitude and joy meditation. Ultimately, whether it's mindfulness or meditation, the point is that it's awakening us to our conditioned mind and our conditioned behavior. And once, you know, awareness is the beginning of transformation. And so we can also then begin to be aware of the impermanent nature of things. And ultimately, over time, with a lot of practice, what we're really cultivating is acceptance and openness, and it increases our window of tolerance. So we're much more open to what's what we're facing. So I like to share this little anecdote about the fact, you know, one meditation teacher actually says it's like, if we put a table of salt in an added into a cup of water, it will be very difficult to drink. But if that same tablespoon of salt is added to a clear pond, we can drink from it with no difficulty, even though the salt is still present. So mindfulness practice really does that for our brain. It transforms our mind into a larger pond. And even though difficult emotions and our challenges may still be there, but they don't have that power over us, and it doesn't have that power to disturb the openness of our mind. So we become larger containers. I especially like this quote from my teacher, Jack Confield, who said that you have within you unlimited capacities for extraordinary joy, love, and for communion with life and for unshakable freedom. And I especially like this unshakable freedom aspect because that's what mindfulness gives us. It gives us that open awareness to then have that choice, choice in choosing how we want to feel and choice in choosing how we want to respond to a situation. So on that note, I would like to take you through mindfulness practice. And given that today, this session is the final session, and we're drawing towards the close of the All Together Better conference. I thought it's fitting for us to do a gratitude and joy meditation, and also, in a way, it's an mhpn's way of thanking you for your engagement and your participation during the conference. So I invite you now to sit in a way that you're comfortable sitting, maybe closing your eyes, and just tune into the breath using our breath as an anchor, so taking in some long and slow deep breath, and then making the exhale really nice and long. And with every exhale, I'd like you to imagine that all that stresses or tension you may be holding are getting washed away, so allowing your body to be relaxed. So check in and make sure you're not clenching your teeth, so let your jaw drop, let your breath be natural, let your heart be easy. So we're going to begin our gratitude practice by acknowledging how year after year you have cared for your own life, and we acknowledge quietly within ourselves that we have looked after ourselves. If not, you wouldn't be here, and the fact that you are here in this mindfulness session, you have that desire to look after yourself. Now we're going to, in our gratitude practice, acknowledge all that has supported us in this care. With gratitude, I remember the people, animals, plants, insects, creatures of the sky, and sea, air and water, fire and earth, all whose joyful exertion blesses my life every day. With gratitude, I remember the care and labour of a thousand generations of elders and ancestors who came before me. I offer my gratitude for the blessing of this earth I have been given. I offer my gratitude for the measure of health I have been given. I offer my gratitude for the family and friends I have been given. I offer my gratitude for the family and friends I have been given. I offer my gratitude for the community I have been given. I offer my gratitude for the teachings and lessons I have been given and I offer my gratitude for the life I have been given and just as we are grateful for our blessings so we can be grateful for the blessings of artists. We're going to shift our practice to the cultivation of joy so continue to breathe gently naturally and then again breathe into the heart space and bring to mind someone you care about someone who is easy to rejoice for and so with each breath we offer that person your grateful heartfelt wishes may you be joyful may your happiness increase may you not be separated from great happiness may your good fortune and the courses for your joy and happiness increase I'll invite you to bring to mind yourself and if it's easier imagine yourself as a child and as I say these phrases feel them for yourself these heartfelt wishes may I be joyful may my happiness increase may I not be separated from great happiness may my good fortune and the courses for my joy and happiness increase and finally I'd like you to bring to mind everyone in this mhpn community everyone who is here meditating with you together let's wish each other these heartfelt wishes may all of us be joyful may all of us have happiness may our happiness not be separated may our good fortune and the courses of our joy and happiness increase take a moment to dwell in this feeling or sense of joy contentment within you thank you everyone I hope that that was a pleasant experience for you that at some point you were able to feel the gratitude and appreciation and joy in you I just want to leave you with this little poem it goes little by little I'll learn to know the treasured wisdom of long ago and one of these days perhaps we'll see that the world will be the better for me and do you not think that this simple plan made him a wise and useful man and the reason I'm sharing this little poem with you is because I like to think and hope that I've convinced you to practice a little bit of mindfulness each day and just like we know brushing our teeth is really useful for our teeth we do it every day some of us twice a day without thinking whether we have time or whether we should do it we just do it I'd like to hope that mindfulness is a practice that we all embrace so naturally just like brushing our teeth because we know it's good for our mind our mental health our general well-being so just a couple of minutes a day or five minutes a day come back to your breath look at the sky and finally dearly the thing I want to share is that I also offer a free online meditation on Wednesday morning Wednesday mornings seven to seven thirty a.m. at late time and I call it a midweek research if you're interested you can email me and I will send you the zoom link and also you can check out other guided talks and blogs on my website www.chitterlift.com I wish you all the best and thank you again for being a mental health professional the world needs people like you thank you bye namaste


Hello everybody, and welcome back to Jurassic World the Game! Have you done it? Because I have! That's right! We have the Therizonosaurus Gen 2! But actually, we got more than just that to showcase. Oh, we have no audio. Okay, let's open the package. Silence. Yay! Look, we got Therizonosaurus. There we go. Oh, no, no, no. It's not a restart. No, no, no. We're good. We're good. We're good. I remember what it is. Yep. There it is. I knew what it was. Because what I do is when I'm playing this on mobile, and obviously it keeps the same settings and stuff. But what I do is I'll play this, and then I'll put a YouTube video over the top, because I got YouTube Premium, so I can play my app games while also watching videos. I killed two birds with one stone. It's great! So, we have Therizonosaurus Gen 2. Now, I made sure. It actually wasn't too hard, I think, if you just got 1,500 cups or 1,600 just to be safe. I had 1,700, and it was about four hours until it clocked over three, and it didn't change. I checked it just before it was about to go over, and they didn't go up anymore, the cups. So, that was really good. So, we got Herbivores. It should be near the back. There it is. So, we got Therizonosaurus, and then Therizonosaurus Gen 2. Strangely enough, it doesn't really look too much like Dominion. Like, I was kind of expecting it to, you know, we've seen Jurassic World Evolution 2, right? They've got the Therizonosaurus. But, yeah, this one, I thought this was going to be their change of it. Maybe it'll look different when we get it in-game. But, it is, in all regards, way better than the original Therizonosaurus, which it was always going to be, because a tournament creature will always be better than a regular Epic. However, Epics are Epic. Oh, sorry, Epic. But, at the same time, they're not too much worse than tournament creatures, and tournament creatures are only unlocked during a tournament. So, we're going to hatch this. Now, we do have two- We've got four free hatches to do, and let's have a look at you. Let's get a good look at your face. So, yeah, that is very different to the Therizonosaurus from Dominion. Actually, if you don't look at the head, everything else is very similar. The coloring on the back, the lightish brown to the dark brown, that is Dominion's Thera.   But yeah, it's very similar. Now, I'm kind of in two minds whether we level this up to level 40. We will eventually need it when they make a hybrid, which they always do. But, you know, when you get any sort of new dinosaur in the game, it's always better to get it to level 20. Because, I mean, this was basically free. I got 2,500 DNA for it, and I got 1,000 bucks, I think it was. So, I mean, the thing is, we do these in these videos, we've just got to unlock it anyway. Right, so what do we get? Like other Therizonosauridae, the Therizonosaurus gen 2 are herbivores enjoying a healthy diet of foliage and vegetation, but not a balanced diet. And that's important, dear. You've got to have balanced diets. Also, oh, we got this. We're only 270. There's 60, 90. Oh, maybe we could even get it. So now, if we go into here, you'll notice. Wait, do I have it? Oh, I've got something else to claim. We've got another pack. We have beta unlocked. That doesn't happen with these passes. We don't unlock the creature. We'll quickly jump back to nublar. We'll go into here. We'll go into carnivores. And so we got a double friggin' whammy of beta. We also have two more blues even. Now, because is it, is it, is it a tournament creature? It looks like a tournament creature. Smells like one, too, but it's a breakfast cereal. No, it isn't a tournament creature. Yes, it is different. But I'm thinking about, it's still only 250. We will instantly hatch it. I don't think that it would have, it probably would have been as long if I'm gonna mess up, actually. Put that right next to the Therizonosaurus. And now we have, oh, we can get really close to beta. Now, how does it eat? Oh, so it does eat differently. Oh, okay, interesting. So what they've done is they've taken the eating animation from Jurassic World alive and put it over into Jurassic World the game.  Which is very interesting. But it makes it one of the only carnivores in the game to not eat from the feeder. We can get that to level 10, 5 and 8 health and 295 attack. Nope, not bad. Now we can't get another one because it is not unlocked. I think that probably is a way to get it. Also, we should have another pack that we can open too. So let's open this. Now, with these events, you can constantly grind for the points. However, the packs that you end up grinding aren't that great. Like, the rewards are pretty terrible, if we're gonna be honest. Like, I mean, it's free, I suppose. So it's not so bad. And the best thing you can get is a Supra. So it's pretty bad. Especially for the amount of points it costs, it's like 700. When you think about it, 250 was enough to unlock another thing in the season pass. But 750, just to get one of these packs? Aiya, that hurts. Real bad. So, I kind of want to level up the Therizontals because we can't level up Beta. So we're going to Herbivores. And now if we go into the most expensive, we do have 141,000. Hopefully it's not too... Yeah, it's only going to be 7,000. It's going to be less 7,000. So we actually have the Psegnosuchus, which is very close to it. Actually, you know what? It has twice as much health and half the attack. So it's kind of actually all right when it comes to being a Herbivore. If it's against its weakness, like a Flyer? Yeah, that is really good. It's kind of all however, you're going to feel that reduction in your attack because that's going to take you to 275 or something ridiculous. And I'm not going to do much, if we're going to be honest. So we do have two more instant hatches to use. So we do need eight of these boggers. So there we go. That's the cheapest that we can get. We can feed you. I do want to get it to level 40 because I'm very curious. Will instant fuse... Yeah, we do have eight instant fuses as well. So because once you start doing the instant fusing, it now sets a timer. So in a week's time, they will all reset. So I need to remember we should just fuse things. That's what we'll do. So we'll get this to level 20, 1,034 health, and 246 attack. Also, we get to see this thing level up and who doesn't want to see it level up? I know I do. Right, so 7,000. It's not too much of a hit. Whoa, 1,344. Luckily, every time the tournament creature, you know, it sort of is finished, they do reduce the cost. It's actually reduced to about 160, I think. 160 odds. So you know what? It is huge because we've got to do this. Maybe I shouldn't have done it on Beta. But you know, we've got to do it. So now we can evolve that. We can instant fuse this and we can get it to level 30. So we do need to get another few more. We need to get four more, but oh yeah. Oh yeah, that's good. So at level 21 to 30, it has 2,260 health and 303 attack.  And at level 32, 2,795 attack health and 394 attack, was it? 374, I knew there was a four in there. We'll quickly collect some of this, so we'll collect some of the food. Scientists increased the Gen 2 incubation period, resulting in a larger dinosaur. Therizinosaurus Gen 2 grows about 3 feet taller than their original counterparts. Is that interesting? Okay, well it's 100, that's not going to really make a dent in how much this is costing. Therizinosaurus and Therizinosaurus Gen 2 are both characterized by their exceptionally large claws. Yes, and I'm not going to look at the preview because we will get this. We will go to level 40 and we'll do that. I guess, you know, I'm saving 160 each time. So I'm saving, you know, like 5 to 600 bucks. You know, it's not so bad. I mean, it is bad, but as long as I can keep just over 10,000 bucks, I'll be happy. It's the DNA that really is the issue, but so that is 123 and the final one. You know what? It's not so bad because if I just get a good, what you call it? If I get a good trade, I can get 300 bucks back instantly. Oh, the Pteranodon is getting a bit antsy. Okay, perfect. Okay, but can I do it? I mean, that was one of the hardest one. This was 230 max DNA, but we know that that's not the case. You can get higher if you're very good at the game. Hopefully it doesn't glitch for me. It's like, no. Yeah, sometimes that glitches. I've never had the pressing the number one. Baby's first dinosaur game. I've never had that one glitch on me. Okay, I think we're good. I think we're good. Yeah, I've never had this one glitch. Four, five, six. Yes, so it was 230 or something like that. And we got a whopping 395 DNA. Oh, that was interesting. Why is such an odd number? I gotta have that five. So usually you get a cool limited offer. I say cool. In this game? No limited offer this time. We could spend 7,000 bucks on one, two, three, four of these. And we could... No, no, no, no, no, no, no. Only thing is with these packs, they do it deliberately. They make a cost books and you don't get books. So you have twin carnivores. I mean, I guess if there was a lot of DNA to be had from these packs, then I might be tempted in one of them. I mean, that maybe. And this is all food and coin and... Oh, 750. Actually, that's the best one for guaranteed. 5,000 bucks. Wait, what's a sock? Okay. I was going to say, what's a sock of soakers doing in here? What? You got... It's like the model of fissures. And randomly you just have sock of soakers at the end. Okay. Collect some of that. You know, why not? Why not? We still got some weeklies, which is the prize drop. You know what? Let's do it. Let's spend. We're going to spend... No, that's not the lottery. Here we go. So we'll buy 10 of those. And of course, actually, we've still got all of these. So not bad. There's always little, little things. And that's what's good about Jurassic World the game. There's little things you can do that, you know, if you know what you're doing, you're spending your resources wisely. It feels like in Jurassic World alive, that's not the case.  And the amount of bucks you get is absolutely miniscule. So yeah, we'll just spend some of that. And now when we go in here, we can claim the 220, which just takes us over to now getting one of these card packs. And we spent a couple of maybe 1,000 VIP points for 130 and food. Brilliant. We can't get over it. We could get a Megalosaurus. We could get Jurex Gen 2. All more than likely, we're going to get food. Cool. Right. Okay. So where was the Therizinosaurus? I just want to see if we've got any good trades. Gigonautosaurus for 219. Okay, I'll take that. Not going to trade that one. And they're at 390. There you go. That is beautiful. I love when we get something as good as that. We'll quickly go over to the Therizinosaurus and keep on popping. All right. So we've got quite a few, I think. That should be it, right? We'll just feed all these guys. I don't really care about food. You know, you can get lucky in the trade harbors and you can get 30 million food for like 60 million coin. And that's way better than grinding out. I mean, there's a reason why they implemented the extra resource building for food as VIPs. Because it's another way to stall you. But if you get good trades like that, who cares? So we'll get you, yes, to level 30 instant infuse. Oh, I love that. Love. Gotta use instant infuses. I really wish I would get some sort of extra points though because I've done this for so long. I've been a VIP member for so long and I don't get anything. It should be at least every month you get like a good pack. I would at least maybe incentivize me to keep going. Otherwise it's just, you know, keeping all the buildings hostage, I suppose. And the final fuse, instant fuse. See, I went quiet there. I don't know whether I cut that out. Hopefully I did. And you didn't even notice I went quiet. Oh, it has a tail. Oh, interesting. Okay. Yeah, I dig that. That's nice. Okay, so we'll get to level 40. Boom, 3,955 health and 530 attack at max level. Yes, you may squawk. And we get, you know, some box of VIPs. Therizinosaurus Gen 2 uses its long arms to reach food in the trees. It's been noted that Therizinosaurus Gen 2 seems to be less picky than the Therizinosaurus. When it comes to its choice of vegetation to snack on. Okay, I'm wondering if we go to Therizinosaurus if it says it is picky. Interesting things about the law there. I bet they haven't decided to put in any more like scientific quotes since that Jim Kirkland thing happened. Like, yeah, let's just no longer talk about paleontology anymore. It just in case we end up looking stupid, we get caught with our pants down. Yeah, do the aggressive. It's nice to see with some feathers. It's got to be honest. So there is a level 40. We do have Beta. Where is Beta? Beta's right here, isn't it? Are you any good? I mean, let's have a look. We get Beta and Blue make a fierce mother daughter duo. Beta is not only Blue's baby, she's also her identical clone. This is one team you don't want to mess with. I mean, you could easily mess with Beta, let's be honest. You could kick it and then die. A level four, an evolution four. Yeah, what's this? In case you're going after animals as large as a fully grown wolf. Oh, we never saw that. Oh, did we? Oh wait, no. We saw it go after a fox, I think it was. I don't think it was a wolf. Maybe it was a wolf. Oh, can't remember. Anyway, at least somebody from Jurassic World team definitely went to see the movie. That's good. Right. Okay, so let's have a look. Let's see if we can see it. I mean, we want to see it in its most beautiful way possible. Um, before we do that. Golden rewards. Oh, I was going to say, you little buggy. Cut if, if I click back. No, come on. All right, but luckily I still had all of these to do. Um, like I did spend all of those. Best thing here is carnivals, actually. So we'll go for Scorpius Rex. We'll go for Eudon. And we'll go for Indoraptor Gen or Indoraptor Level 40. We'll go for it. I don't think we really need it. Oh, damn. Terraria Dostro has a lot of attack. Oh God. Okay. Um, I think we should be good. I'm just going to go for loads of reserves now. Yeah. At that point, he could have had two and he could have killed me. It should go for four because I might only have two blocks. Yes. Oh, brilliant. No, Scorpius died it. But Eudon comes out to play. Right. One, two, three kills it. And then two reserves. I mean, worst case scenario, it kills me. Um, and I mean, what? It kills me with two. That's probably the worst case scenario is it kills me with two. Um, oh, or it doesn't even do that. Right. So this is that biggest threat. We may as well go all out. I don't think we killed it. Oh, he did. It was just enough. And that's it. Yeah.  So he's going to have to go for his four out of five, leaving it with one block. And now Indoraptor with that 8,000 attack. Is this the most, does it have the most attack of any dinosaur? He's actually right. It might do. I wonder. I wonder. Right. There we go. And whoosh. It was interesting because Jurassic World came out and Dominus Rex was like the best creature in the game. Fallen Kingdom came out. Indoraptor is the best. Dominion comes out. Where's Giga? Nobody be seen. Nobody. Because it wasn't. It wasn't a fierce dinosaur, I suppose. But they have it. Oh, yes. Lots of DNA. They know 750 plus the Argentinosaurus that we could definitely sell. Also one thing to do is I saw this in, I don't think I, I'm not going to make a video on it separately. I thought I was going to but I'm not. Basically I read an article where a kid paid money. Like he must have went into the market into somewhere like here and he paid for a certain dinosaur. Because you know they do the offers where it's like getting a triceraptor right now for a hundred pounds. Ridiculous. Obviously it wasn't that high. So the kid had bought this creature and then he put it in the incubator. And what he unfortunately did, he put it in first and the first creature you put in you can't, well, it's like you should never put something that takes ages in the first slot. Because otherwise if you're on the hatch of the creatures it's going to cost you books. And unfortunately he put it in the first slot and it was like 10 days or something. So not only had he spent real money to get the creature, this young kid, he'd also had to spend more real money in order to speed it up because they didn't have the books. And it was just something that like, it's just, it's not his fault or her fault or whatever. It's not the user's fault for making that mistake. It should be made more clear. Because then it's like, oh well I'm just stuck. I can't, if you have no books then what are you supposed to do? I mean I guess you could do missions and stuff like that. But you know what I mean?  And the father ended up making like a post on Twitter or something like that. Just saying about how money hungry this game is. And let's be honest, I've played it this long. If there's any way, it's not that the, I mean they are money hungry. But it's not too bad in Jurassic World the game. Jurassic World alive because it's PVP, it's very bad. In this game it's not so bad. So I'm going to speed up the triceratops. I just wanted something in there pretty quick. Because now, I mean I'm not going to play this game until tomorrow. That's for sure. So if that, knowing that's the case, a maze wall sticking and you both suffer. It's like I probably stuck in an epic or a legendary, whatever you want to call it, for nine hours. And that way I'm just using that as a way to harvest DNA. Now what I do want to do is I want to go into Sunnazoke versus land. I want to find beta. And we're probably going to have to scroll quite far, I'm thinking. Yeah, there's Toro at level 20. Oh god, where are you? There's blue. Where's beta? Uh, beta has more health, interestingly enough. Huh. You could do blue and beta. But really, I want to put beta out first. Or should we put beta out second? I'll put beta out second. Um. Oh, you know what we could do. Sunnazoke and one of these. So we'll get the Therizonosaurus. Now where are you? There you are, Therizonosaurus Gen 2. So it's better, technically, than a stegoceratops. Wow, okay. So we'll go for Therizonosaurus Gen 2. We'll go for, uh, we'll go for like blue and beta. Because why not? You know, we got to have the team. Uh, where are you? You're down here. There you are. Beta and blue. Yes. Now what's the best thing? We went nullifying on the first one. Swap. What does this do? Prevent all swapping on enemy team. I, I mean, I think you have to be active for that one to take effect. Um, and then alpha. Increase attack stat of allied creatures by a hundred. Yeah, we'll put alpha. And then we need, beta needs some of the boost itself. So we can put regenerate. So heal all hurt allied creatures by 25% of their max HP. So if we put that on beta at the end, like every turn, everything will gain health. I think that's how that works. It's got that icon. So yes, it doesn't affect the dinosaur, but the rest of the team. Or we can do survival. Remain at one HP, um, upon receiving lethal damage. I'm sure there's something in the code where it's like, if one HP equals true, then this is negated sort of thing. Um, what's this? Siphoning bite. Heal 30% of the damage your creature deals. Oh, maybe not so bad. Steel. Steel opposing creatures mod. Terrify. Reduce attack stat of entire opposing team by 45. You know, we'll need that. We'll need that just in case. That's my only one I've got. Let's do this. Right. Now if we come up against any center's oaks, we're just going to close the game. Because I don't think we will end up using those creatures. Um, no center's oaks. Okay, great. We're going to be in the best arena, the helipad. Yes. Okay, so we're going to nullify the bind, I think. Okay, so he's going to rally. Oh, okay. Oh no, 20 attack. What's really good is that we're getting a boost onto. So am I unlocked? Or can I still not swap? I should be able to swap. Lower the attack 45% on terrify. Oh yeah, that's good. That's good. I still can't swap however. Cool. All right. Um, good news is that their best creature is that writer stager. Everything else is kind of meh. Right. Here comes the dino swap. Okay. So nullify. So now everything's going to lose attack. Oh no, because it's already activated. Never mind. Uh, I can go for two reserves. Easy peasy. You've only got two. You can't touch my therosidosaurus. No. I mean, well, you can slap it like that, I suppose. Right. So you went for two. So one, two, three.  I thought it would be. Damn. Okay, we're going to do some damage to it. We could swap out to beta or blue now if you want to. And I might be tempted to do that. Um, because I think he can kill me actually. I think one more would have killed me. Yeah, one more would have killed me. Okay. So, I mean, I'm a bit worried about this. So I'm going to swap. I'm going to swap into blue. Oh, it disappeared. I was going to say it's the same glitch as the other thing. But no, okay. Can I swap again? Oh, I can't swap again. Okay. Uh, I'm going to go for through zone. Yeah. I'm going to fodder off blue, I think. That's what I'm going to do. Oh, it's got five. Oh, wait. Yeah, it's going to go for it. It could definitely kill me. Yeah, there it is. Okay. Now, do we lose the attack boost? Blue, no. Yes, I think we did. Yo, yep. There it is. There it is. It's gone. All right. So, but the good news is it has nothing. So we're going to go one, two, three, and then kill it. And then I need to make sure I survive here. I might fodder off Bater as well. Kind of going to have to. Oh, I can't swap now though. Even though I nullify it. Damn. Okay. I didn't realize its attack was so low. Oh, it's swapping anyway. Oh, it's swapping to something I'm really good. I'm great against this thing. Okay. And it didn't go for anything. Okay. So no more health for you. Oh, wait for two. Out of its four. I think that was, I think. One, two, three. So it's got one block. So I'm going to go for one block and four reserves. Okay. He's got five, two, four. Oh God, this could, this could end horrendously for me. The team was just better. That team was so good. It's got two block. I'm just, I'm barely clinging to life here. Right. But I got it this time. One, two, three kills it, factor in two. And then I believe in... Oh, okay. So it's got five. Even then though, I think it's going to take a lot to kill me. It's going to take one, two, three to kill me. He's only got five. So it's not a guarantee that he will go for the attack. Thank God tournament battles aren't this complicated, guys. Because otherwise it would take ages. All right. Okay. I can't swap. So I'm just going to have to go for it. So I'm going to attack from the Therizinosaurus. Income this. We didn't get to see Beta. I'm sorry. How do we cut to another battle and see Beta? Yeah, let's do another battle. We'll do another one and we'll see how Beta does. And we'll, because we can, we've got like four refreshes. But 50 Dimetrodon's not bad though. All right. Okay. So we're going to put... Batarin first. So where are you guys? You're over here somewhere. Right. I've got three instant recoveries. Let's go. Okay. So Beta and then blue and then something really bad. And then what we, apparently like the nullifying makes no sense. So what we should go for, killer instinct. What's this? Gain one action point per creature killed. Okay. Spikes after being attacked deal 50% damage. Oh, you know what? Let's go for that one. And let's also increase our attack because I got 99 of these. Good God. But I got two in big arrays, but 99 of the other ones. I'm 99 of all of them pretty much. Okay. No, no, no. No, no, no, no, no. I saw that. Cheeky bugger. Hopefully that doesn't count as me using my refreshers though. Like using the dinosaurs because it didn't load it. Fingers crossed. Please don't have done it. Don't do it. You know you don't want to. You make Daddy Beaver very angry if you do. Oh, damn it. Oh, okay. Okay. Okay. Fine. We'll just do beta. Fine, fine, fine. And I had to use spikes. Okay. Okay. Well, if this one doesn't work and we get a Sanozoic, at least we get to see it. I suppose.  Well, no one knows where it could be though. Like we use super high level creatures. Oh, it's not. Oh, the gods are in my favor. Oh, it's brilliant. Look how tiny she is. Oh, dear. Berserk. Okay. Increases the attack. Increases more attack. Okay. That's right. Well, because we're going to increase our attack. Yeah. We can kill it in one hit. Sweet. Do I got to go first, please? I'd love to go first. Yes. Well, actually it doesn't matter what it does, because I will kill it next turn. Because it's only going to have one. Unless it swaps. Maybe. I don't know what that shield one is on the Alangosaur though. Okay. It goes for one. Right. But I do 30% damage, right? Because of spikes. Okay. I love how jank that was. That was brilliant. Okay. So he's only got 20. He's only got 26 attack. Oh, dear. Wash. It's a shame that beta doesn't have, you know, more animations. It's basically just scaled down raptor. It doesn't even have like one of its claws is like blunt. Just like it has in the movie. I'm pretty sure I will have to just have a look at it though. It's left one is sharp. I don't know about his right. It was really faithful. It wouldn't be. Now the 20 Alangosaur is a bit worrying because it's got a lot. So I'm going to go for a block and a reserve. Yeah. Not worried about that. Go for four. Please do.  Go on. I want to see like, I want to do beta's like seven to eight attack animation and also win. Okay. So now I'm worried. I'm killing one. So one, two, and then a block. Okay. I think that's all right. Wait, what? Armored hide. What does that mean? No. Oh, I should have checked it's mod. Okay. We've lost. Okay. Well, there goes that. I think actually wait, we might not have. I mean, we might not have lost, but it's not looking good. No. So it doesn't die. That's interesting. Okay. Spikes. Yes. Oh, it's still killed it. What? That was amazing. Wow. Beta did it. I don't believe that. Now, normally Guanlong would have 14 attack, but because of the alpha thing, it had 140. I don't think I've ever won with a level one Guanlong. Wow. Ah, you never can tell. But at least we're going to see it's like dying animation, I suppose, because it's the same as it is in Jurassic World Live. And that is going to have to wrap up the video. Um, of course, when a new tournament creature comes out, we'll max it up or a new hybrid or a new update or whatever. You know, we still do play this game from time to time. But if you enjoyed this video, leave a like and until next time, I'll see you cuties later. Oh, bye-bye.


Ever since about, I don't know, 1790 economic philosophers have puzzled over a question, which is, what are we going to do with all the surplus labor that we're going to have when machines do all the work? They have long believed that this was an imminent crisis, because look at the steam engine. It can do the work of a thousand men. Therefore, very soon, we will all have to work only one thousandth as hard. That didn't happen. Nor did it happen with the age of electricity, nor with the age of the computer, which was supposed to be able to finally make that vision come true by replacing mental labor, the same way that machines had replaced physical labor. But somehow it seems that we keep working just as hard as ever. There is a reason for that. The reason is that instead of choosing to work one thousandth as hard, instead we chose to consume a thousand times more. And that's kind of kept capitalism going. But that option is no longer available to us. We can't keep consuming that much more because we have planetary boundaries and also social limits to the amount of life that we can monetize. So we face this crisis that was foreseen by 18th and 19th century economic philosophers, the crisis of capitalism, when if you need to work in order to earn the money to live and fewer and fewer people are needed to work, then how are you going to avoid poverty? How are you going to avoid concentration of wealth, mass unemployment, social unrest, a Marxist revolution? Like this has been a crisis that gets pushed into the future every time we think of more things to consume. Now another option, of course, is that we stop working so hard. For that to happen there must be another way for money to come to people besides that they go and earn it making more stuff. One way to do that would be simply to give it to everybody, a basic amount that some people call a universal basic income. I use another term for it sometimes, which is a social dividend, because it basically says why is it that we don't need to work so hard? It's because of the inventions of, I don't know, James Watt and Nikola Tesla and Thomas Edison and the scientific achievements of many, many, many generations of scientists and inventors and entrepreneurs and all of this. It's the whole culture that has given us this kind of wealth, a limited kind of wealth, but it is a kind of wealth. So who deserves the benefits of the inventions of James Watt? We all equally deserve it. He lived what, 150 years ago, right? 200 years ago, I don't know, I wasn't paying attention in school, but no one alive today deserves the wealth of culture and nature simply by being born in a different place than anyone else. We are equally deserving of it. So therefore, we all deserve an equal share of this cultural inheritance that coincides with a universal basic income. So a little bit different in conception, but the idea is everybody gets a payment. It's not means-based. You don't have to prove that you're needy. No. Bill Gates gets his, I don't know what it would be, maybe $12,000 a year, $15,000 just like everybody else, and Bill can spend it on anything he wants. So the idea of a universal basic income kind of goes against a lot of our cultural assumptions about human nature and about a life well-lived. One of those is that if you didn't have to work for money, then you wouldn't be productive. You only, in other words, you only contribute to society because you're paid to.  But you know, basically the idea is I know you. You're just in it for yourself. You don't want to contribute anything. You don't want to create anything. You have to be paid to do it. Is that assumption true? Well, you can look at yourself. Is that true of you? If you made your fortune, you have a billion dollars. Are you going to retire at age 35 to a life of tennis and golf? Uh-uh. People who do achieve that don't retire to a life of tennis and golf, and not for very long. They do it for a while and they get sick, or they want to get back into business. They want to do something that's exciting to them. They want to create something. The same thing happens when they've done these experiments where they actually do give everybody a living wage, a universal basic income, without paying them. I mean, without them earning it. And what happens? They don't quit their jobs.  In fact, people are liberated to do things that might contribute to society that don't create salable goods and services. There might be things that you want to do that call to your heart and that the world really needs, but there's no money in it. Because our economic system isn't set up to reward those things. Because the economy is not very well aligned with the common good. A universal basic income allows people to do the creative, beautiful, necessary things that the world needs the most right now. And there's no money in it. I mean, in a lot of fields, what the world needs the most, there's no money in that. Why is there so much money in, I don't know, if you're a petroleum engineer, as opposed to one of these guerrilla ecosystem restoration engineers. I know guys who do this. They go into state parks. They sneak in there. And they alter waterways. And they plant native species. And they build swales. And they do whatever it is to restore the land. They don't get paid for it. They even are at risk of prosecution. But they're doing it because it needs to be done. So one reason that I support a universal basic income is to allow people to act on their creativity and act on their care even when the existing economy does not pay them to do it. But it really comes down to a different vision of human nature. And you can look at yourself. Now, I bet if we instituted a basic income, a lot of people, some people would just party for a while or would just do nothing for a while or do nothing very visible to us. Maybe that's because they need to do that. Another thing that would happen, and this is the real threat of universal basic income, is that it would be very hard to get people to do degrading, dangerous work. The kind of thing that no one would do unless you paid them to do it. Or no one would do for very long or very much unless you paid them to do it, unless they are so threatened with survival that, OK, I'll flip burgers eight hours a day, five days a week for the rest of my life with no opportunity for advancement. OK, I'll drive the shuttle bus between the terminal and the parking lot every day for the rest of my life. We would have to, in a world with universal basic income, we would have to engineer jobs like that out of existence. If you were an industrial engineer or if you were an entrepreneur, from the get go, you would have to think, OK, how do I create an enterprise where the work is meaningful, where the work is rewarding, where the work is attractive enough that people who aren't desperate to survive, desperate to pay the rent, desperate to feed the children, will still do that work. So it would change the whole structure of the economy. We would have, it's not that we would have no hotel maids and no shuttle bus drivers and none of those roles anymore, but there would be, I think, a lot less. People wouldn't be trapped in those things. I mean, I've had summer jobs where I washed dishes. I've had phases in my life where routine manual labor was a balm. It was a refuge. Those are not bad things. But today we have an economy that structurally demands millions and millions of people to do degrading labor.   Look at that hotel maid. Once upon a time, she was, she or he was a young person full of ambition, full of hope for life, wanting to do great things. And look what happened. Do you really want to live in that kind of world? Do you want your affluence to be built on the humiliation of other people? It's not necessary. We would have, in a world of universal basic income, we would have a different kind of affluence. We would have a world where everybody is doing things out of love because they, because it's their passion. Imagine how beautiful the world would be if people poured their creativity and passion into what they made. So you might have to clean your own toilet when you stay at a hotel. You might not, you might have to car share a lot more. Everything would change. Universal basic income is profoundly revolutionary. Some people say, oh, it would just preserve capitalism as we know it. It would revolutionize capitalism as we know it. Because the basis of it is that you force people into labor. If you are not forcing people into labor, the whole equation changes.


This four-year long research project funded by the Japanese government focused on exploring new superconducting materials and related functional materials. Over 1,000 materials were examined, all selected by Japanese experts, with experience in solid state chemistry. The project yielded several dozen new superconductors, as well as fabricated wire and tape made from iron based superconductors. Additionally, the project identified numerous new functional materials and their corresponding properties.

that anybody we want to take us in oh Christmas you are listening to the day they gave babies away starring claud jarman jr. on the cavalcade of america sponsored by the DuPont company maker of better things for better living through chemistry continue as a small boy named Robbie is seeking homes at Christmas time for a five orphan brothers and sisters it's one o'clock mr. and mrs. Tyler and their two small boys are seated at the dinner table for their Christmas and give us grace even as you have given us this food we thank you for a man can I have the wishbone pa you and Bruce can pull it between you somebody's knocking on the kitchen door mom well I'll see you with tears well it could it be everybody should be home and join their dinner this time of day hello mrs.

Hamilton of the DuPont company human nature being what it is most of us are inclined to think now and then that we can do it better maybe we hear somebody sing a song or maybe we look at something we've bought well we say to ourselves that's all right but I'll bet I could do it better well now that's a healthy feeling it's just because Americans have this competitive spirit that American industry provides the world with such an amazing variety of products products which do get better year by year for instance not long ago hairbrush manufacturers were faced with a problem they wanted to improve their products but lack the materials with which to do it knowing this the chemical industry set out to help them all in the American tradition of doing it better for improved bristles brush manufacturers and chemical engineers said the bristle we need must be sanitary it ought to be stiff but not too stiff it must be springy it must wear well and be easy to clean and because some people brush their hair with the bristle must not take up much water and the quality must be constant always the same the final answer was bristles made of nylon but that was only half the problem now the manufacturers and plastics men agreed we need a back that will hold bristles tightly it must be light in weight and very strong it must feel smooth and pleasant to the touch it must be good to look at to and easy to keep clean like the bristles the answer this time was lusite acrylic resin and today a whole line of better brushes is on sale in stores near you hair brushes shaving brushes baby brushes military sets for men hand and nail brushes just for a reminder they make wonderful Christmas gifts there's a thought for Christmas a brush of nylon and lusite both developments of

Hi, thank you everybody. So I was asked to make a feminist statement relating to the show, and I prepare a written statement that would be easier for me to let and just speak off the cuff. Feminism has given me a new awareness and a language to conceptualize artwork. The feminist strategy erased the boundary between personnel and public. It enabled me to make an easy transition in my work from biographical to social content. I moved from Bangkok to New York City in 1973 at the end of Vietnam War. Although my childhood memory of the war was short, it was long lasting. My view on sex, money, and women has been profoundly affected. Thai women were not just grandmother, mother, sister, aunt, teacher, or doctor. They were looked upon as prostitute. During the Vietnam War, my parents were medical physicians assigned to work at a northeastern border hospital near Vietnam. My experience of America started there in Thailand. It came via Playboy magazine, girly transparencies, noisy jet fighters flying over my house, music, food, and VD centers next to goga bars at vacation spots created to accommodate the US military present. Back then, Thai women were also casualties of this military conflict. As in my mother's story of her daily work that included mending the uterus of bar girls injured from having sex with American soldiers. After the Vietnam War, the leftover sex industry was disguised as legitimate tourist industry. And in 1990, Thailand declared itself as the epicenter of the AIDS crisis. During the time of global economy, we have seen the explosion of sex tourism and human trafficking. Images of male order bride escort and massage services appear on the internet in unclassified ads, making art its way to make sense of these experiences. The artworks I'm showing here are exploring a creating of feminine identity through found magazine images, historic object, Eastern religious motives, and classified advertisement. These photo montage sort of homage also to knowingly to Martha Rosler and other pop artists. Start with the number 21 victory of the goddess. You can see the Thai temple painting in the background. And Playboy Girls of the World, Shia Moen, she was a Taiwan highest paid model according to the Playboy magazine in 1971. She was also a painter, appeared in films, and has written two novels. And image number 22 and number 23 is Prince Palace, 1965. That's the title. It's also called Friendly Pornography. Here I explore the American male culture and its influence on the Thai via recollections of my early childhood during the Vietnam War. Employing American military weapons and artillery, the seductive images of Western women to represent the invading modern culture that was visiting upon Thailand landscape. Images source are from Playboy magazine in August 1965, F-16 fighting Falcon aircrafts, and family portrait. The number 24 is called Roamis Universe, or Friendly Capitalism. It's a portrait of Apasara Hong, the 1965 Thai Miss Universe is smiling over the bursting dollars. Damn, cartoon panel from Walt Disney, Uncle Scrooge, in Only a Home, Old Man. An MK-82 bomber used in South Vietnam dropping erotic bomb of magenta orchids over the Kham-Geshing Silver Dollar. This is the birth of Asian beauty as universal commodity and a coming of American purchasing power. This is from this, different pieces from the series of Le Thamon Road and Fever series, which is represent of inkjet figure taking from the Thai portrait stamp that you see on the lower right. I cut out these images and make digital work, and I place these women the figurine inside metaphorical icons, such as sapphire bubbles and diamonds who represent precious commodity. On the upper left, the rubiescape, it's a digital print, and the background is from a medical slide of autoimmune disease, which also acting as a landscape background. The number 26 is the piece in the show here, it's a plexi light box. Number 27s are two images from Ruby Chang, or a red stream. There are 300 strass pair shaped crystals with inkjet prints transferred manually on crystal with red food dye and acrylic medium, and various red jade beads attaching to 10 foot metal bicycle chain with nickel pins, wire, and Christmas light. And the ship fever is illustrated in the catalog. It's a homage to women workers in the international tourist industry, and it is a visual analogy between historical middle passage ships and the exceeding arrangement of modern passenger airplane. Replicated figures of women in traditional dresses taken from the Thai postage stamp, and these figure represent images of hospitality and wholesomeness that are the commodity through which industry attract and sell services. This is my collage series, works on paper, and they are taken from six ad from Village Voice. There are, these are telephone numbers from the classified ads, so I call them working numbers, phone numbers, work numbers. And if you notice the font that say Asia sort of sexualized font in the ad in the back, the same ad from the Village Voice, and also pseudonym, the pseudonames of next to image of Asian women in the massage ad in the back of the magazine, from the same sources. So these small scale mixed media collages on craft paper and watercolor pencils drawing on my response to the Village Voice Asian sex ads. The advertisement are colorful portraits of Asian women for sexual consumption. The ad sells their service by employing stereotype, giving pseudo-exotic names to the women, and strange cropping of their body, framing faces. And I transform these images or rather transfigure them into goddesses. I'm using element of horror and humor found in Himalayan religious painting and Asian horror cinema, as well as following stream of consciousness through free association with other cut out pictures from jewelry and flowers catalog. The Himalayan art following the Buddhist teaching or dharma is portrayed in Himalayan paintings. There are tools for meditation to the path of enlightenment. These paintings portray awesome deity with peaceful form, other with frightful expressions and sceneries, some of floating on clouds and seated on flowers. The wrathful ones are surrounded by fire bejewels with strings of pearls and decapitated heads. These deities show their power of compassion in colorful fantastic cosmic battle against obstacles such as hatred, obsession, pride, jealousy, and ignorance. This is my latest series, which is the source of the images come from Christie auction sales catalog. Here I explored the idea of women through material objects. And the discretion and pedigree of the sales object has much present as the anonymous person or the object themselves. And the title of this series called the property of a lady is a drawing of feminine persona and is anonymous, wealthy person whose material inheritance is representing her identity. In this context, colonial reference come to mind. These jewels are made from precious stones procured from European Empire expansions. The stones, some famous with legend or lore walk quite through walls, military conquests and trading, changing hands from kingdom to subcontinent Africa, Europe, and the New World. So there are the material is shaved graphite on metallic powder with acrylic medium and graphite wash on belemts. So that's it. Thank you.


Hello and welcome. My name is Richard and in this video I will present our paper about instruction set architecture extensions for finite-field arithmetic. We investigate the impact of smaller accelerators and in this work we examine an exact extension for finite-field arithmetic. To benchmark such an extension we applied it to lattice-based cryptography. Our contributions are as follows. We use an open RISC-5 implementation to introduce an instruction set architecture extension for finite-field arithmetic. We present an optimized RISC-5 implementation of the Kaiba and New York ciphers for the standard RISC-5 as well as our extended instruction set. Finally, we benchmark the results examining cycle counts, clock frequency, wall clock time as well as area and time area products of the design. Let's first get to RISC-5. What is RISC-5? It's a free, open and as the name suggests a reduced instruction set architecture which is extendable by design. It's meant for processor designs as opposed for example simulation or binary translation. It does not dictate a specific microarchitectural style. More and more free implementations exist for some time now and I will quickly show those which we consider to use in this work. The first RISC-5 implementation we examined was the rocket-jet design. It utilizes the chisel hardware design language to actually generate a processor. It is quite configurable and offers an extension interface called the Rocket Custom Co-Processor Interface as shown on the right. If a co-processor is included in the design, it simply responds to a chosen upcode. The disadvantage here is that the co-processor resides outside of the pipeline and this may lead to pipeline stalls when for example the co-processor requires multiple cycles. The Pico RV32 implementation by Claire Wolf is a very size-optimized implementation and it offers a quite similar interface. If an instruction can't be decoded by the processor, it is simply offered to a bus that contains all the co-processors. The co-processors then decode and execute the instruction, returning an optional result register. The RISC-5 multiplication instruction is actually implemented via this interface in the Pico RV processor. But for this work we opted for the Vexpress 5 implementations by Charles Papon. We chose Vexpress 5 for its flexibility which stems from a software-orientated, plugin-based approach for design. The design doesn't have any co-processor, instead the design consists of a set of plugins which extend the stages with logic. Each plugin has access to any stage register which enables highly adaptable designs with very few redundancies. The flexibility of Vexpress 5 stems from its language, SpinalHGL. SpinalHGL is a very similar language to the aforementioned chisel language. SpinalHGL is actually technically a software framework for the Scala programming language that serves as a hardware description language. It's quite important to note that SpinalHGL does not follow a high-level synthesis approach. The framework simply introduces powerful tools to describe hardware and it's at its core not that different from common design languages. Scala lends itself well to designing a domain-specific language, for example due to the optional infax notation or the flexible function naming scheme which seamlessly enables introduction of new operators, as shown below. The biggest difference to Veriloc or VHGL are the powerful elaboration tools. Instead of simple loops or conditionals, we can parametrize and elaborate with any Scala mechanism. An example on the right shows a carrierless multiplier which utilizes a simple map and reduce expression which will automatically result in a balanced tree for the accumulations of the multiplier. The workflow for SpinalHGL is interoperable with existing hardware design languages. SpinalHGL will simply produce a generator for Veriloc or VHGL and the result can then simply be synthesized as usual. Using the sources produced by SpinalHGL in other language sources is very straightforward as SpinalHGL will preserve all signal names used in the language. Integrating existing legacy sources is just as easy as external hardware modules can be instantiated by SpinalHGL. Now let's get to our easter extension. To explain the extension, I'll first talk about how the WexWiz 5 plugin system works. It helps not to think about WexWiz 5 as a CPU with discrete components such as a decoder, memory bus or ALU. This is simply what WexWiz 5 pretends to be. WexWiz 5 is actually more a flexible and extendable pipeline and the CPU is simply an emergent property of all the interworking plugins. The basic elements of such a pipeline are the stages, stagibles and plugins. A plugin will simply generate additional logic inside of a stage. The logic then uses and produces stagibles which can be any piece of data you may want to pass around in a pipeline. The pipeline generator will then automatically route the produced data to all the consuming plugins and if the data is required in the next stage it will automatically be routed through registers. Let's go through a quick example. First we define the stagibles which can be of any desired type. Then we plug in a piece of logic into stage A. And for every piece of logic we plug into it, usually the logic produces some values which can be used by other plugins. And when these outputs are used within the same stage by another plugin, the signals are simply routed through the appropriate input. When however the outputs are used in another stage, the signals will automatically be routed through other registers. Shown here is an overview of the plugins that make up the CPU. The instruction bus plugin will fetch and inject an instruction. The decoder will then set initial values to some stagibles depending on the instruction. The register file will then load and inject the register values referenced by the instruction. The source plugin and integer alu plugin produce the arithmetic results. And in the final stage the register file will store the result. Note that the multiplication plugin will split the multiplication into 460 mid multiplications which are then assembled in the later stages. This is a great example of a plugin which uses multiple stages to produce a result. Now let's take a look at the extension we defined for the finite field arithmetic. Shown in the table above is the instruction format of the 4 arithmetic instruction. In addition, a subtraction, a multiplication and a separate reduction instruction. Note that all instructions include a reduction. The separate reduction instruction simply serves as a normal reduction without any arithmetic, for example to reduce sample polynomials. In the simplest variant, the extension simply reduces the instruction result by a fixed modulus. A second variant can reduce the result with a set of fixed moduli chosen by an index. The last variant is actually completely flexible with a modulus set by an internal register that contains the modulus and a pre-computed value. In future versions such an internal register could also be designed to use a controlling status register instead of specialized instructions to access these internal registers. Shown here is the hardware design with its three stages. For ease of use we opted for the barrette reduction. This avoids a conversion that, for example, the Montgomery reduction would require. And since we have access to any internal register, we can reuse the ALU and the multiplication plugins. In the second and third stage the extension of the extension the result is reduced. Note that the reduction uses fixed constants, which means that we can make use of small hamming weights substantially reducing the cost of small multipliers. The flexible variant in turn simply feeds values from registers instead of constants. To benchmark the design we need a complete system. As Vexvis 5 is just a core, so we loosely base our design on the Murox example of the Vexvis 5 project, which is a complete system ownership. Our design goal was to mimic an ARM Cortex M3, so we extended the Murox example with full multi-masterboss, so that the core can simultaneously fetch code and data. To mimic a separate flash memory for the code, we also separated our memory into two distinct blocks and linked all the executables accordingly to split the code and data sections. Now to assess the impact of the instructions at extension we evaluated various design variants on the Xilinx Artix and Latticemi IS40 FPGA platforms. Included here in the table is a reference platform, an extension with a single fixed modulus, an extension with four fixed moduli, a flexible extension, as well as variants without a general purpose multiplier. The extensions introduce a fairly small overhead, with the flexible variants requiring the most. The variants without a general purpose multiplier are especially interesting, as they significantly reduce the size of the design. Shown here are the results as presented in the paper, but we do have an update. Later analysis showed that the memory bus was the longest path of the design. And introducing a buffer for the bus adds one cycle of latency for memory operations, but significantly raises the maximum frequency. It also shows that the first reduction stage of our extension is the longest path of the processor. Here the simple custom variants profit significantly from the simplified multiplications with constants that don't require any DSPs. Now let's have a look at lattice-based cryptography on RISC-V. First we developed a RISC-V implementation for finite field arithmetic without any extension. The approach of most reference implementations for the ciphers use a signed Montgomery reduction, which does not lend itself well to RISC-V. RISC-V does not include a sign extension instruction, so we need to use two shifts to sign extend the result. While one of the shifts can be avoided by shifting the multiplication constants, it's still quite cumbersome. So we opted for a Barrett reduction, which is a much better fit for the platform. As RISC-V has separate instructions for the high and low result of multiplication, we can avoid any shifts otherwise necessary, reducing the reduction to just three instructions. Next is the number theoretic transform, which many lattice-based cryptography schemes use in some form or the other to speed up large polynomial multiplications. The reference implementations usually process the entity layer by layer, as shown here in the first layer and then the second layer. A more common approach for optimized implementations is merging the computations of multiple layers as shown above. This avoids loads and stores of the coefficients. RISC-V has enough registers to merge three layers, while for example the ARM platform only has enough for merging two. While each merge doubles the number of loaded values, we still have enough registers to employ other optimization techniques such as interleaving all four butterfly operations of the entity. Each butterfly of the entity requires a so-called twiddle factor, which in software implementations is usually pre-computed and stored in a lookup table. A lookup table is used as simple loads from a table are usually more efficient than a finite field operation required to compute it. Hardware implementations, however, use optimized circuits for finite field operations, so they compute the twiddle factors on the fly. And since our instruction-sector extension introduces such an optimized circuit, we can use these methods. So to implement the entity, we then use the iterative entity algorithm and pick an appropriate butterfly operation to ensure that the twiddle factors are used in ascending powers of the root of unity. This way we can almost entirely avoid lookup tables. The only exception being kyber, which requires some twiddle factors for its polynomial multiplication due to the early termination of the entity. However, however, we were able to reduce the lookup table to only 32 elements. Let's evaluate these results. We implemented the polynomial arithmetic including a suitable entity and inverse entity for the kyber and new hope ciphers. New Hope uses polynomials with 512 and 1024 coefficients and kyber as a module every only needs 256 coefficient. Left shows the cycle counts for the 1024 element polynomial arithmetic. Now, compared to the standard risk 5 implementation, which is in the middle, the custom instruction reduces the number of cycles by 26%. A much bigger improvement is the code size shown on the right, which includes the pre-computed table. As we employ some amount of unrolling, the code of the optimized implementation is larger than the reference code. The pre-computed tables, however, still make up a large portion of the code and in fact are larger than even unrolled code for the larger polynomial sizes. This way, the instruction set extension can offer a large advantage in terms of code size as it doesn't need lookup tables. For the updated variant of the design with an additional bus latency, the speedup of the instruction set extension becomes more pronounced and is raised to 30%. As the instruction set extension completely avoids the additional latency introduced to the load instructions, which is used for loading twiddle factors, its advantage becomes more pronounced. When we examine the whole scheme, the speedup is not as pronounced. The culprit here is the hash function used for the random sampling of the polynomials. The effect is, of course, also present in other implementations, for example, for the ARM platform, and the benchmarks usually remove the influence of the hash function. When we remove the cycle-spent hashing, the speedup translates reasonably well to 13%. Once again, our new memory architecture introduces further speedups due to the missing lookup tables. The question now is whether such an instruction set architecture is worth the additional circles. To that end, we examine a time-area product of the design. Sadly, this is somewhat complicated, as we don't have an adequate area translation for DSPs and RAM blocks. To estimate the time-area product, we synthesize the design without any DSPs, and this, of course, significantly lengthens the longer path in the pipeline with a large impact on internal multipliers. Note that the custom instruction could significantly shrink the required memory, which could shift the time-area product even further. Sadly, we can't emulate this result. The comparison shows, however, that the designs without general-purpose multiplier are particularly interesting. Once again, introducing an additional memory latency raises the maximum frequency, but greatly exacerbates the influence of the reduction stage. The variants without a general-purpose multiplier, however, still stay the most attractive variants, and the fixed variants remain still quite fast. As they use simplified multiplications with constants. To conclude, we presented an instruction-set extension for arithmetic with finite fields and demonstrated its impact on lattice-based cryptography. We showed that such an extension can have a significant performance benefit, both in terms of cycle counts and walk-rock speed, but especially co-sides. The results require some further analysis in a context beyond FPGAs, for example in an ASIC. But the results are already quite promising, particularly for small architectures. If you want to experiment with a RISC-5 platform presented here, I polished it a bit in my free time and published it under the show URL. The platform targets several FPGAs, and if you don't have an FPGA at hand, it even includes a Cycler Accurate Simulator that enables you to even debug your code with a GDB. And with that, I thank you for your time.
