Today I'm presenting you with a video that is and can be somewhat controversial. I suggest if you've read the title and it seems like something that you don't really want to hear someone talk about, don't watch this video. We're going to be talking about stimming, those repetitive movements that we autistic people do to calm ourselves down in stressful situations. A very useful tool and it's generally something that I personally encourage people to do. It doesn't harm anyone, autistic people generally struggle with that emotional regulation and so it's kind of common sense to let people do this. But for autistic people like yourself if you are autistic and you are watching this you may be thinking okay cool like yes it does help it does help me feel more in control of things there's nothing inherently harmful about it but should I do it in public? Should I do it around my friends? Should I do it around my family? Should I do it when I'm going out on a date? Should I do it in the general open public area? It's a very difficult question to answer and and I believe that the answer for every single person out there completely depends on their view, their view. Do they care about what people think? Should you care about what people think? Does the benefits of stimming in public outweigh that of the possible social effects it may have on you? It is a very controversial subject and it's one that I feel is talked about a lot in the autistic community whether for good or whether for bad it is something that we talk about a lot. You know it's a question that we need to answer and sort of discuss further. Questions like this people generally try to avoid because there is the potential that due to its controversial nature and the the opinions of people clashing together it could very well not be received well well wellness well but I think it's worth talking about. So what is stimming? From a basic standpoint stimming is a voluntary action that people do it's inherently repetitive in nature and can be very simple or very complex. The best way to describe stimming is to give you some examples. Some of the more stereotypical signs of stimming will be that of hand flapping spinning around in a circle making certain noises repeating phrases over and over again you know something to diffuse the situation whether it's diffusing social tension or regulating anxiety. When an autistic person is born and they develop into an adult and go through all those many life stages that they go through they develop a particular sensory profile. Now our sensory profile is it basically covers all of the senses that we as humans generally experience. We can be hyper or hyposensitive to certain stimuli meaning that we don't feel something very much or we feel something to a very high degree and it causes us a lot of stress. Further you could also categorize it into sensory seeking and sensory defensive. In terms of sensory defensive these are basically things that you avoid. One common thing that I've heard of is cotton wool. Some people just have a real aversion to it and that can be any sort of anything. Anything under the sun that you can experience as a human being sometimes it's just too much for your brain to handle due to that sensory profile. I suppose the more relevant category is sensory seeking. Sensory seeking means that you basically you want to go for that sensory experience you want to to do something that stimulates your brain in a good way but sometimes this can be bad and one example that I can give from my own experience is banging my head on the wall. Now to an outsider that's generally something that you you wouldn't want to happen it hurts you don't want to do it. To me when I'm in a very extreme state the blunt pain that I feel from you know hitting myself or hitting the wall or something was like it overrided a lot of the stress that I had. It didn't necessarily feel good but because I'm so hyposensitive to that blunt pain it was something that I did as a kid. I don't do it anymore of course because you can get all sorts of brain damage from that kind of stuff but it was definitely something that I did when I was a very very young child. From my time on Instagram on YouTube on any kind of social media I've heard a lot of stuff about stimming. It's a very popular topic of conversation. It's something that I think has an inherent value in it for autistic people. It's something that's that's generally or has been previously frowned upon by the rest of society has been weird or odd or strange but you know in in your room space going for things that that that stimulate you can be a great way to relieve some of the anxiety that that many autistic people experience and that can be anything. That could be particular fidget toys or as most people have seen and mean about the good old fidget spinners. It's something that relaxes them something that helps and concentrates and it has been used for people with ADHD but for autistic people it's a lot more about that emotional regulation. I won't exactly go into the many lines and categorisations of stims that people have as from my experience that it doesn't really seem to be defined by much. It's generally anything that makes you feel calm and activates your sensory system. It's it doesn't necessarily have to be those stereotypical things like spinning around or jumping or making high-pitched noises you know it's it's not all about that it can be just playing with something you know like a putty or nice fabrics or listening to particular music or looking at flashing lights which is something that I like to do. So there's a lot of utility in it for you as a person wanting to know should I do it in public. It's a little bit of a difficult question because you can say definitely that oh it's good like we shouldn't we shouldn't frown upon this in people they should just do it. It doesn't change the perspective that people have on it. It doesn't mean that people won't pick on you for it and although the actual responses of people to that is something that we need to focus on for the longer term is it right to do it now. There are some ways that we can work around this. One important thing to remember about stimming is autistic people aren't the only ones that do it. Neurotypical people do it as well. It's just less out there. It's less noticeable and it's more normalised meaning that people won't pick up on it as something that's straight something that's strange and weird and odd and so puts you at less risk for being ridiculed for it.  Now of course stims for autistic people are very very important typically because we display a lot of anxiety we have a lot of issues with mental health anything from OCD to ADHD to anxiety to depression there's a whole list of things that autistic people generally struggle with more and so these stims that we have are even more vital for our overall health. I believe that this inherently is an issue of ideas and what's right conflicting with society the general society that we have although our ideas and our ideals and thoughts about how we should act socially develop very very quickly and can develop very very quickly it doesn't mean that society will follow that at the same pace meaning that there is a bit of a like period period of time where what we would want for society is not reflected in what we see. I guess to an extent this whole stimming business is very much an old battle you know in the early stages of a lot of autism related companies a few that I'm not going to mention for fear of getting a lawsuit or something actively stop autistic people from stimming autistic children people that they're looking after because it's viewed or it was viewed as something that is not good something that it's undesirable they don't want it in this this child they want to try and discourage it so that when they get to an adult stage they won't be displaying those behaviors that cause people to look at them and say they're a bit strange what are they doing that's basically the premise of that it's completely unfounded in any logical sense but it makes a lot of social sense in terms of how people in society works where the other side comes in is actual autistic people it's great like it's absolutely fabulous that we're trying so hard to normalize things that really aren't aren't and shouldn't be viewed as a big deal and should be normalized to a certain extent that it's okay and it doesn't affect someone's standing in the social arena or standing in society I guess with that that conflict and those conflicting ideals there's a lot of controversy around it hence the difficulty in talking about it there is no complete solid answer to this so I'm going to give you my personal opinion it's completely up to the person if you don't want to stim in public you don't have to if you want stim in public you can that's the basics of it of course but I do think that there is some factors that you need to look at when you're making that decision sure it can be empowering and good and you know if you feel like you're moving society forwards by doing these things in public but if you're not capable of dealing with the backlash or the responses from other people then it may be best to tone it down a little bit in public I'm not saying tone it down do it I'm just saying if you feel like you wouldn't be able to hold your own in that sense and you would get a lot of negative effects from these responses from people maybe trying to adapt how you stim in public as opposed to how you stim in private for me personally because this is my personal opinion segment I don't particularly stim in public and that's not because I don't want to it's just because it never crosses my mind I don't really stim in the stereotypical way a lot of my stims are to do with distraction flashing games you know things that have a lot of movement on the screen are quite attractive to me and they satisfy me playing games really relaxes me quite a lot and I know a lot of autistic people that I know who say the same thing now this is not to say that I don't stim I used to love spinning and bouncing a lot I used to love it because I was light enough when I was younger to be able to do that without damaging myself now that I'm big I'm six foot three I can't really spin around on the spot on one leg I don't really get enough speed up to warrant me doing it and if I do fall and they lose my balance I'll hurt myself quite a bit however I do love going to theme parks because of that sensation I love the sensation of being span around and the sensation of movement it's very much something that calms me down it it sends waves of relaxation through my body it's quite a therapeutic thing for me and because it's so socially acceptable to go on to a ride and enjoy it it's it kind of kills two birds with one stone like it's not it's not strange to act elated and and happy and a bit giggly after being on a fairground ride maybe not to the extent that I do but enough I'd say that particularly for myself I am very confident in how I am I don't feel too much social strain from ticking in public you know those you know very jerking movements that I have it doesn't really upset me that much because I've learned to kind of push past them and it's the same for stims sometimes if I'm really stressed and I'm really tired and I'm not in a good place I probably will stim in public and that can be anything from rocking to anything along those lines if I'm in a public place and there's loads of people like in a library I may not rock but I may dance a little bit if you know what I mean you know just kind of feel the music and dance one thing that I particularly did like about university was that dancing element of going out and dancing really is a very therapeutic thing for me and it was again another socially acceptable way of stimming in public everyone's dancing nobody knows that I'm at the same time as dancing and enjoying it I am quelling my anxiety it's just more things like that that help me to sort of reduce my levels of anxiety in public over the years I've developed some very typical neurotypical things that's a funny word so funny sentence rather and that is rubbing my hands rubbing my hands is a big stim for me I do it wherever I'm in public or wherever I'm alone it's probably not the best thing but it does kind of leave my hands a little bit soft I guess one of the difficulties with stimming in public is that from my experience and obviously from the general research that we've done things like social anxiety are very prominent in autistic people now you could say that stimming is going to help you in situations like that but due to our difficulty with that general that that inherent ability to to communicate with other people and pick up on all those social nuances and all of that it makes it very difficult to connect with people who really don't know the first thing about autism and I know a lot of people could benefit from stimming in public and I would agree do it if you have the confidence and the solidarity in who you are and how strong you are as a person then do it it's not going to affect your life in any way it may get a few odd looks from people but who cares like they're just random people and even if your friends think that it's strange they're not going to stop being friends with you because you're making because you're rocking back and forth when you're stressed it's just not going to happen unless they're an arsehole then you know good riddance if you're still on the fence about this you're weighing up the things that I'm saying and you're taking into account all the things but you still don't know I recommend just just trying out different things try and try and find some things that you like to do as a stim explore and and look on Instagram and see all these people who write stories about their different sensory experiences things that they find helpful things that they don't find helpful this isn't meant to be a bashing of stimming I'm very fully behind it but I'm also aware that you know like some people can be cruel and society can be cruel and we need to support and support each other and talk about these things it's not the autistic community's fault stimming is okay and it's good and it shouldn't be frowned upon but sometimes it is and I've experienced that I think a final message to end on would be if you don't like this this might take on it that I'm not putting this out as fact you know this is just my opinion of how I navigate the world and and how I would advise people just based on my experiences how I feel my analysis of the situation it's not meant to be a everybody do what I say video if you have an idea I mean if you have ways of getting around this or other ideas in fact just put them down in the comments just let me know it'll be nice to to see what you think as I said there is no right or wrong answer to this most people would make you think that there is a right answer and that you should just do all the stims that you want in public whereas some people would say the opposite and say that it's very harmful for them and it's caused them to lose a lot of friendships or be ignored at school or picked on or bullied there's a lot of areas where we could go into like particular situations like school and uni and workplace and social life there's there's so many other aspects to it because it's an interesting topic okay I'm interested in it I'm interested in what you want to say and if you are interested and you want me to continue talking about stuff like this that other people don't want to talk about let me know I'll make more of them I'll I'll talk about this stuff I'm completely fine we're talking about these potentially controversial things it's not a bother for me if you want to get more insight into the world of autism into into my brain into other people's brains if you want to get inside there like a magical viewing glass and and see how the the cogs in their brain turn and I'm going on follow the podcast the 40 orty podcast it's available on spotify and current youtube very easy to find got a lot of guests coming on got this new microphone that I'm currently speaking into that sounds divine up close it sounds absolutely awesome pretty much top standard um in the world of audio and of course like subscribe whatever do all that stuff I know that every single video on this this platform is got some

I've never seen this card before This is numbered This is not numbered it says Superbowl Immortality and This is not numbered Okay. Well, that's the case guys. This would be randomized to the group of customers in R&B Right. I'm not seeing any number. Okay. We'll put that to the side for now Yeah, empty this year is really really nice. It's just probably one of the most expensive years, right? I also think there was a blockchain at the bottom show this first Joe Montana peerless signatures Blockchain card number 17 So let's quickly actually see make sure this is 49ers Joe Montana. I don't want to say 49ers and then It's actually like chiefs or something Peerless signatures card number 17 is 49ers Brady one sold for a hundred and seven Some more reasonable 49ers R&B that are low spot zero and Matt. All right. We got Darius Leonard out of 53 Joshua Kelly to 99 for the Chargers Hopefully more to come Out of 99 Archie Manning Saints Little Randall Cunningham 22 out of 25 for the Eagles R&B Two spot two going to Gretchen Little Joe Burrell tremendous treasures.

There you go halfway through guys Halfway through so those Super Bowl immortality is not numbered, right? There is not numbered Randomly Miles Garrett to 95 There's an under to 99 and T get Barbara 22 out of 99 So that's Giants Armin with that one and then Brown's here. That's Michael. Oh, did he? All right. Yeah, I'm just making sure global. I thought that was just weird We got my one mile Sanders 12 out of 99 For the Eagles that's part of the R&B to go into Gretchen and we have a triple relic 16 out of 25 Terry McLauren chase young and Antonio Gibson 16 out of 25 So that is spot six and shall not you have a Tyrell Davis TD century materials 41 out of 49 Denver Broncos, that's going to Matt Arnold Brian Sype Browns 5 out of 10 Michael Graves of that one Darnell Mooney 8 out of 25 That is for the Bears going to Nick that definitely I don't even know that was We have rookie patch autographs James Morgan for the Jets Jets Jets going to Anthony and we have here an RPA The Jersey number version 57 out of 99 just a single color patch, but it is still an RPA 59 57 out of 99 so spots seven going to Paul last one guys. Good luck A little extra rub for some mojo. We got to have a big hit in here, right guys Devonte Parker to 35 for the Mammy Dolphins That's R&B spot eight going to blowbook and then Aaron Rodgers 16 It's about six going to Sean. Oh J Howard That is 58 out of 99 Do a relic for the Jets 64 99 Denzel Mims and the Michael P run CD Lam relic 50 or 17 out of 99 for the Cowboys That's seven Going to Paul How about this? Quad relic that has the chiefs Clyde Ozilair Jonathan Taylor for the Colts the Andre Swift for the Lions and JK Dobbins for the Ravens NFL gear nine out of 25 so the chiefs Bought straight up max Jonathan Taylor Colts spot straight up Sean Lions as part of the R&B and JK Dobbins is Ravens So any one of these three teams when it's gonna go straight to the customer if the Lions win It would go to random number block spot nine, which is Sean Maddock So that'll also be around a matter at the end of the break Jerry Judy field pass 11 out of 99 I Think I think one of my favorite interests this year besides of course having a midnight's is just this new field pass Denver Broncos At Arnold's that one we have Cole Comets. That is a rookie patch autograph for the Chicago Bears Bears Nick With that one Nick T That is a nice patch. How about a Ricky Williams? Ricky Williams 22 out of 49 spot to Miami Dolphins Is Gretchen pretty sweet. I got a top loader for that and the last one. I think it's a booklet it is It is a rookie prime jumbo Jalen Hertz 53 out of 99 wow One two three four color patch and the autographs is kind of like on the cell sheet here that we're showing you guys So that was a tag Look at that Jalen Hertz and it's part of the R&B 53 spot three is going to glow bug block number three 53 out of 99 But there you go, man Shouldn't go grab it right now. Let's take a picture of that for the for the gram But there you go guys that was the empty case Get a couple randomizers to do here Top load some of these as well But appreciate it guys the R&B did get some nice hits though a lot of hits chase young We've got an RPA right there as well Joe Montanian the Jerry Judy Little one-on-one the Jalen Hertz the Ricky Williams pretty strong We've got Colt Matt right there as well James Morgan RPA for the Jets We got Jacob Eason Joe Burl is a nice little patch right there All right, so let's switch scenes guys and again We're gonna randomize this so this is gonna be a quad relic randomizer and this would be for the R&B randomizer Name and number one gets that Aaron Rodgers Nice little but that's cool Definitely hold on to that before the season starts Or see if he does well. I think the skyrocket. All right, so this one here will be for The quad relics, so it'll be chiefs. It'll be Colts it'll be lions and Ravens and this right here would be for everybody in the R&B for the Aaron Rodgers Customer name at number one Rollets four and a three Seven times. Good luck. One two three four five six seven Going to the Ravens at the top after seven times So Ravens would win that one right there and that's gonna go to Aaron. Good. I had seven left here one two three four five six seven Wow, there you go It's your day global there you go Alex. You're gonna get that as well. They are Rodgers That was unnumbered so it's gonna go to So appreciate you guys this was NT football copy four box case break pick a team number six on Jasper's case breaks.com


Welcome to tutorial 12 on hydrologic modeling using microwave remote sensing. So till now throughout each of the tutorial sessions we have been learning about how to access and how to work with different satellite products mainly we dealt with precipitation, soil moisture, water levels from ultimetry and also we have been individually addressing how to work with each of these variables. So in this particular tutorial we shall see how the individual puzzles fit in with respect to hydrologic modeling. So firstly let us try to understand about hydrologic models as in what they are and what do they give us as output and what is their relevance in hydrology. And let us try to understand this through the water cycle defining the underlying hydrological processes, modeling them, running the model and validation of output. So what you see here is a small caricature of the different processes which are part of the hydrologic cycle. Let us try to understand them in detail. So water cycle basically it refers to the movement of water between ice, oceans, atmosphere and freshwater. And we know that it consists of several processes like we have precipitation that is condensed atmospheric water falling to earth, precipitation. We have evaporation that is transition of liquid to gas. We have transpiration that is movement of water within and out of plants into the atmosphere that is transpiration. We have infiltration that is water entering the soil from the ground surface infiltration. We have runoff flow of water from the earth surface that is runoff. Then there is interflow that is flow of water within the soil layers interflow. And then we have something known as routing that is movement of water downstream. Just to summarize each of the components individually now with respect to precipitation we have already seen that it can take many forms and it can be measured either at a point using gauges or it can be estimated over an area using Doppler weather radars or satellite bond sensors. So typically a hydrological model is fed with precipitation which is gridded at regular intervals throughout the length of simulation. And what you see here is the precipitation data set from IMARC. Now to get gridded precipitation data we could either grid the rain gauge data or grid the data from weather radars or satellite sensors. And we even have multi-satellite precipitation products that are available at every say 3-hourly intervals. Again not all the precipitation that falls onto the surface of the earth not all of them reach the ground. Some may evaporate back into the atmosphere, some may get intercepted by the canopy of plants. And hydrological model usually deal with these in different manner of which say one solution is to make the intercepted rain part of the modeled evapotranspiration process. So evapotranspiration basically is a combination of evaporation and transpiration and it is a general terminology used for phase conversion of a liquid into a gas wherein the liquid is water. So as I mentioned earlier transpiration is the transfer of liquid water from plants to the atmosphere as a vapor. And typically evapotranspiration abbreviated as ET. You know it is hard to measure directly as it varies drastically across smaller scales because it also depends on the species of plants, their age, their health, the sun angle, the temperature, humidity, wind, land cover. So all in all ET is not easy to measure directly but then it can be measured experimentally but then it is again expensive and subjected to error as well. So usually we calculate it indirectly. For example if water in equal to water out then the change in amount of water I am going to term it as s. The change in amount of water must equal the precipitation P minus ET that is evapotranspiration minus G that is ground water minus Q that is stream flow. So of these we can measure easily the Q, the G, P and S which means we can solve for ET. So this is an indirect means by which we estimate ET but there are flux towers that can be installed which give us more accurate information about ET. Moving on now let us come to potential evapotranspiration abbreviated as PET. So PET is typically expressed as a water depth. Now the amount of water, this amount of water must always be removed from the model. So if there is enough precipitation available we use that, else we use other sources. Now the steps to deal with PET are as follows. Shown here is a small caricature wherein you can see a bucket or a cylinder with precipitation and then we have potential evapotranspiration, surface water and ground water. So assume the PET takes water from precipitation cylinder until the PET cylinder is full. Say it is not full, the PET cylinder is not full, then it takes water from rest of the model, rest of the model that is surface and ground water until it is full. Now once PET is full it means the remaining precipitation can flow to the rest of the model. So what are we trying to do here? We are trying to understand a hydrological process namely a water cycle through the eyes of a hydrological model. So let me reiterate for potential evapotranspiration through this small drawing. So PET takes water from precipitation cylinder until the PET cylinder is full, say it is not full, then it takes water from rest of the model which can be surface water or ground water and once PET is full, the remaining precipitation is available to flow to rest of the model, which means at this point our PET requirement has been satisfied and then the precipitation is free to reach the land surface. Now moving on, so of the precipitation that reaches the land surface, some of this will drain into the soil and some other portion will act as runoff. Now to understand runoff imagine a walkway, say a slab of concrete or asphalt or any surface that is impervious to water. If water cannot be easily absorbed by the surface, it will contribute to runoff. Now just to compare, consider a pervious surface like soil can be slightly tricky here because soil can absorb water but up to a certain extent, up to a certain point, after that the water starts becoming runoff. So here I have defined runoff as water which does not percolate or infiltrate into the soil but flows over the land surface. Now infiltration is the part of water that percolates as the name suggests which infiltrates into the land but then how do we decide how much is going to contribute to runoff and how much is going to contribute to infiltration. So it depends on the properties of soil and in the case of hydrological model of course on its settings. So moving on, till now we have covered the few different processes which are part of water cycle such as precipitation, evaporation, transpiration, infiltration and runoff through this small diagram which outlines each of these processes. Two more are remaining that is interflow and routing. So let us try to understand them. Now as I mentioned earlier from the portion of precipitation that reaches the soil, variable infiltration curve tells us how much is excess rainfall and how much is infiltration. Now excess of rain can materialize as overland runoff and interflow. For example when part of precipitation reaching soil I am going to call it as P soil. So when part of precipitation reaching soil is less than infiltration rate of soil all of P soil becomes interflow and then there is no overland runoff. So we have part of precipitation reaching soil and then we have something known as an infiltration rate. So if P soil is less than infiltration rate all of P soil contributes to interflow. There is no overland runoff. And higher the hydraulic conductivity of soil more the P soil becomes interflow and less available as overland runoff. So interflow and overland runoff can be routed. So routing basically means we are moving downstream, moving it downstream through separate model processes. So both interflow as well as overland runoff can be routed downstream through separate model processes. So just to reiterate of the water entering the model. So now I am going to use the term model instead of land because we are trying to understand how a hydrological model understands a hydrological process taking water cycle as example. So of the water entering the model some contributes to evapotranspiration, rest reaches soil and contributes to infiltration, excess rainfall again can be overland runoff or interflow. What next? So to account for say overland runoff, overland flow which is flowing towards me. I can add it to P soil which means it is going to be like precipitation falling which can be evaporated, transpired, infiltrated, converted to interflow or overland runoff. So just for the sake of better understanding two cylinders are shown here. Assume the color in blue is precipitation from upstream overland runoff and whatever you see in green is the new precipitation from forcing at downstream. Okay? Now each type of flow shall be routed until it reaches a river channel and then it becomes open channel flow. For overland runoff, routing is a function of roughness of land. So for flow of soil it is dependent on soil saturated hydraulic conductivity for interflow. So the small terminology is to help us get an overview, get an overall picture of what a hydrological model does. So in the previous slide overland flow is accounted as additional precipitation when we are not in a river channel. So assume that it is a river channel then what happens next? We have to account for it by adding upstream water to overland runoff. So here what you see in blue is the old infiltration from upstream interflow and here what you see in green is the new infiltration from variable infiltration capacity process at the downstream. Again you know in the same example we can assume that now there is also interflow. Okay? That is water under the surface which is flowing towards semi. We have to account for that as well by adding it to the infiltration water at new downstream point. Okay? So here blue is the overland runoff from upstream and green is the overland runoff newly generated at downstream. Now in real world we know that water travels both horizontally as well as vertically through land and we try our best to choose a hydrological model that realistically or closely represents the real situation as best as possible. And upstream runoff as was discussed in last 2 to 3 slides can be treated only one or other way not both. But infiltration modification process tends to occur whether it is a river channel or not. Now let us try to put the pieces together. So computers think in terms of grades and cells which means the area of interest that is the region of interest over which you are running the hydrological model gets divided typically into cells to model and as users we get to select the size and the number of cells. So here what have I done? The earlier diagram we have been seeing I have divided it into cells just to give you a feel that in a hydrological model computers think in terms of grades and cells and ultimately water cycle is turned into a series of model cells as shown here. Now in each of these processes there are factors like hydraulic conductivity and roughness etc and we often adjust these within a model and this is known as calibrating the model calibration. So calibration influences heavily the quality of simulation or output from a model. So what is calibration? It is a process by which you adjust the parameters. Now if the parameters can be adjusted for each cell independently we call it as a distributed model and if this adjusting parameters if it can be performed in a few spots over a river basin we call something as a semi-distributed model. So you know let me try to explain through this simple flow chart that tries to summarize the different types of hydrologic model. We have stochastic model, deterministic model and then we have models based on process. Deterministic model themselves can be either lumped or semi-distributed or distributed and based on process we have empirical model, conceptual model and physical model. Now with this flow chart in mind let us try to understand each. So if the parameters that we discussed earlier if they can be adjusted independently we have something known as a distributed model. Now if adjusting parameters can be performed in a few spots over a river basin we have a semi-distributed model and say we have just one constant set of parameters for the whole area just a single constant set of parameters then we have something known as a lumped model. So lumped model the parameters basically do not vary spatially within the basin and the response is evaluated typically at one outlet. It is not applicable for event based processes but then it is easy to use at it as it requires minimal data. For example the SCN based models they are lumped models. Now as far as semi-distributed models are considered the parameters are partially allowed to vary in space and that is done by dividing the basin into a number of smaller sub basins. They are of two types that is kinematic wave theory models like HEC HMS probability distributed models wherein probability distributions of input parameters are considered across the basin. For example SWAT is a semi-distributed model we will look at SWAT shortly and then we have deterministic hydrologic models. So coming on to distributed models. So in distributed models the parameters are fully allowed to vary in space at a resolution which is user defined. Let me reiterate in distributed models the parameters which we discussed earlier they are allowed to vary completely which means this requires a very large amount of data but then the spatial resolution can be user defined. Examples are Mike Levenchy model etc. Now we also have physically based models, physically based deterministic models which help us gain better understanding or clarity of hydrologic phenomena and it is based on the laws of physics say conservation of mass, momentum, energy, continuity equation, the equation of motion or equation of energy. So one or more of these are used in physical model development. I shall not be going through the detailed equations right now but we will try to understand it through the NOAA land surface model. We were trying to understand the different processes which are part of the water cycle and how a hydrological model understands this and then we also had a quick overview of the different types of hydrologic models. So as next part what we will do is we will try to understand more about as an example the SWAT model as well as the underlying processes or equations that are embedded in the NOAA land surface model. Let me hope that you found this section informative. Thank you.


How do you take an organization that is brilliant? They are world-class. They are the best in the history of mankind and They start seeing the signs that they need to do something different So in our business of national security where our job is to fly fight and win our job is to be prepared for the Unexpected our job is to win no matter what we better be masters at this game of innovation It's a complicated problem. It's not just there's no silver bullet or one thing It's a it's a the relationship of things And so the strategy is production, but stable production at the numbers that we need over time That is really the ultimate fix to the pilot crisis There are a couple of artificial intelligences that we intend to leverage one of them is Algorithmic in nature, which means that it's a model that's able to instruct students in the absence of a live Instructor pilot this isn't to replace the instructor pilot, but it's to give access to instructor techniques Much more on-demand for the student And if it's not us, then it'll be somebody else In a formal training unit We are teaching F-16 pods ultimately to be ready for combat And so through a lot of the chief of staff's efforts have been part of the revitalization of the squadrons is Letting all of that decision-making come back down to the squadron for instance I can make a syllabus waiver if I think that a student has done well and needs to do one event Potentially out of order or to proficiency advance past an event because they've been doing really well I've got the authority to do that as a squadron commander and in our discussions of efficiency and in our discussions of Trying to produce more students faster that we don't lose sight of the fact that we still need to produce the same quality of Student and make sure that they are very close to being combat mission ready. I Don't have a ton of experienced pilots, which means I don't have a ton of instructor pilots We're trying to solve a retention problem. We're just improving force development talent management We're taking care of families better. We're doing we're treating pilots like professional athletes and working on neck and back here We're just doing a lot of things They needed to be done to take care of our airmen and in every crisis there's an opportunity So we see an opportunity to really just improve how we take care of our pilots and airmen writ large We might have to go out on a limb and try some things that maybe we Maybe we even think might fail even we think they might fail But let's just try something new in order to to potentially get a win in the long run


Long-term brain health is what I care more about than anything. It's like my super passion project, too. And we've done some really cool advocacy work on Capitol Hill. We've worked with you, the Special Forces on it, right? And we've worked within Prolin College Sports on long-term brain health. And it turns out that there are some supplements that have really, really good clinical data around long-term brain health. And they aren't revolutionary. Creatine monohydrate, omega-3, and vitamin.


So the first change we have worked on is whenever the user is looking for a plugin that doesn't exist, for example, you can now see like an empty result message and he can click on clear filters to revert to the initial state and then he can look for another plugin. This change was done by Victor, shout out to Victor. And also if you're looking for a plugin that actually does exist, you can also use the clear filters to revert back to your initial state. And another change we have worked on was showing the part of set information in the plugin page. So before you can only see here like the maintainer of the plugin. And now we have added another additional information, which is the part of set information, which tells you this plugin, if this plugin belongs to any set, instead of having this information down there, that section. The set section will still be there for any maintainer of the plugin or an administration, so they can manage these sets. But for the normal user or the anonymous user, the information is now above. So it's more clear for them. The next change was in the plugin preview and model. So when you click on a plugin, you can see this pop-up. Let me just look for a plugin that has more information. For example, this border filter, you can now see who's the maintainer of the plugin and which set the plugin is part of. And we have also added some of the words that the plugin has. We just named some of them. So these were the changes on the model preview card. Another change that was received from the feedback of the user, which was the spacing in this navigation block. Before you could see that all these links were like pushed to the right a little bit. So now it's easier for them to view the plugin types without having a lot of empty space. Yeah, I think these are all the changes we've done this sprint and we will continue to enhance the user experience more on the plugins directory page. Thank you.


Notes from the edge of the narrative matrix.   If our media and education systems were telling us the truth about the world and our Democratic systems actually worked our society would be arranged to serve the interests of the many rather than an elite few You can tell the mainstream worldview is bullshit just by looking at its fruits We're killing the ecosystem to serve an economic system that is creating greater and greater inequality While wars rage and nuclear brinkmanship threatens to wipe us all out and corruption rules the earth The world is as it is because the way the majority of people in the most influential nations think act and vote is Being continuously manipulated by the powerful for the powerful The mainstream worldview is just a giant bundle of power-serving lies and manipulations The thing about the entirely predictable admission by Biden officials that sanctions are hurting ordinary Russians a lot more than they're Hurting the Kremlin is that the US Empire is fine with that the US Empire doesn't use sanctions to punish leaders It uses them to foment unrest and hopefully spark a civil war or a coup During an interview in 2019 then Secretary of State Mike Pompeo effectively admitted that this is what the US Empire uses sanctions for Not to influence the behavior of the government, but to coerce the people into ousting their government State Department documents from 1960 show the US State Department discussing this exact same strategy regarding economic warfare against Cuba This is a long-standing practice Western liberal democracy is when corporations and bankers place all blame on the government The government places all blame on the electorate and the electorate absorbs all the consequences of the corporations Bankers and government without ever getting a vote on any of the major decisions those entities make Ordinary citizens are assigned full responsibility for their social and financial struggles and their privacy rights are being eaten away Powerful people are never held accountable for their immensely destructive decisions and they are protected by a wall of government secrecy Accountability and transparency should have a directly proportional relationship with power the more power you have The more consequences you face for your actions and the less privacy you're entitled to in our society It's literally the exact opposite. It's completely backwards Just as Western plutocrats and politicians want all the power and none of the responsibility So too do their mouthpieces in the mainstream media Highlighting their errors is harassment criticizing them on social media is cyber bullying Calling out their sleaziness as Trumpian These people are broadly despised yet believe they're doing a fantastic job They insulate themselves and tightly cloistered self-validating echo chambers So a member of the common riff-raff tweeting harsh truths at them is experienced as an unexpected assault This class participates in an ongoing propaganda operation to manufacture consent for the status quo and without them The world would look completely different Their voices are orders of magnitude more powerful than ordinary peoples yet. They want no responsibility for this role If I had the Thanos glove, I wouldn't use it to impose my personal ideology on the world I'd use it to make all the secrets of the powerful visible to everyone and democratize information sharing so people could decide for themselves what course of action to take in response all government secrets all corporate and financial secrets all the secrets of media Institutions would all be immediately visible and placed in front of everyone's eyes Then everyone gets a device with access to a global public forum to talk about everything. They've learned I Just let people see everything and then choose their own adventure Maybe they'd choose to create the kind of egalitarian society. I'd like to see maybe they'd create something else It's up to them All I did was end the subversion of their personal and collective sovereignty And all the controversy about whether the US should be associating itself with a murderous tyrannical regime like Saudi Arabia Please don't forget that the US is far more murderous and tyrannical than Saudi Arabia by an extremely massive margin. Oh knows Biden should be embarrassed to be seen with a tyrant like NBS Bitch NBS should be embarrassed to be seen with a tyrant like Joe Biden Conservatives will make kids pledge allegiance to flag in Republic every day at school and then freak out about LGBT issues because oh the children are being indoctrinated mainstream Western proponents of democratic socialism never call for an end to imperialism because they are fully aware that their version of Socialism is entirely dependent upon imperialist domination and exploitation People who believe humanity can make positive changes toward health and harmony tend to be people who've made such changes in their own lives People who believe human nature is selfish and destructive tend to be selfish and destructive people We're just describing ourselves We're describing the insides of our own reality tunnels and then dressing it up as some grand knowledge about objective reality Really none of us know humanity's fate because our thinking about human potential and human nature is Filtered through our own personal experience of humanity from the inside It is a mystery and we can just let it be a mystery


Hello and welcome to this video session on peak microcontroller features and architecture. So we will be talking about the peak microcontroller 16F877A. So these are the learning outcomes for this video session. A student after completion of session will be able to enlist the features which will be discussing and then will be able to identify how this particular peak microcontroller will be suitable for various applications. When you are doing some application, whether this peak will be suitable or which chip is to be used and also student will be able to describe the architecture of the peak microcontroller and in detail we will be discussing the block diagram also. So these are the contents of the presentation. We will be talking about the introduction, then high performance features, peripheral features, analog features and some spatial microcontroller features we will be discussing and at the end we will be talking about the architecture of the peak microcontroller. Also we will go through the block diagram for the peak microcontroller 16F877A. Now talking about the high performance features, as I said this microcontroller is having various features with this it starts with the risk CPU. Risk stands for reduced instruction set computer. So this has a risk CPU and hence you will find that only 35 instructions are there. Also almost all the instructions are single cycle instructions and hence we can have the parallelism, parallel pipelining we can have and then there are few instructions where we are using jump or call and these are two machine cycle instructions. When talking about the operating speed it operates on the clock it can operate on the clock of 20 MHz. Also in one machine cycle there are four clock cycles so 20 MHz clock connected will result into 4 MHz machine cycle frequency and hence if it is a 4 MHz machine cycle frequency reciprocal of that will result into 200 nanosecond instruction cycle. It means it will take 200 nanoseconds for execution of a single machine cycle instruction. Then it has got memory so talking about the memory three different types of memories are there. Flash memory it has 8 kilobytes into 14 so 8 kilo address locations are there at every location you can store 14 bit data. And then you have RAM memory data memory which is RAM so 368 bytes of RAM we have again it is divided into four different banks along with the program memory, flash program memory and data memory here we have got the E-square prompt data memory also which is 256 by 8 and this IC is compatible with the 28 pin or 40 or 44 pin peak microcontroller series microcontrollers. Now talking about the peripheral features as we know that the feature of the microcontroller as compared to microprocessor is so many peripheral features peripheral hardware is available inside the chip itself. So let us look at what are the peripheral features this microcontroller has. So it has got timers three timers are there timer 0 timer 1 timer 2 you will find some additional facility here that timer has got something called as pre-scalar or here you will find that this timer has got pre-scalar as well as post-scalar also. So 8 bit timer timer 0 is there 16 bit timer timer 1 is there and timer 2 is also there which has got pre-scalar as well as post-scalar. So the key role played by this pre-scalar and post-scalar facility is you can extend the delay for overflow of the timer you know that the timer size will decide how much time it will take to overflow. So you cannot increase if you want to have higher delays it is not like just go on increasing the size of the timer register instead of that you may go for different pre-scalar and post-scalar options available to this peak microcontroller timer. Along with the timer it has got one feature called as CCP it is capture compare and PWModule. So capture module is 16 bit and compare module is also 16 bit and here basically what happens in capture compare is there is timer register and then capture registers are there then CCP registers are there. So timer register value may get stored in the CCP register when you are using capture. Here some timer register value is compared and then when the result is there that result may be reflected on to the PIN. Here PIN may decide when to capture the contents of timer in case of capture mode in compare mode comparison is done between timer value and CCP register and then when there is a match between these two a signal may be generated on to the PIN also as well it may generate the interrupt and also it has PWModule which may be used for speed control of motor you can generate PWM signal with different duty cycle also. Now continuing with the peripheral feature it supports the communication serial communication as well parallel communication is supported. So synchronous serial port it has got MSSP module master synchronous serial port module which supports two protocols one is SPI and another is I2C. Along with this MSSP it supports USART module USART on universal synchronous or synchronous reception transmission is possible through this peak microcontroller. Not only serial this parallel communication is also possible through this particular microcontroller. Along with this it has got a brownout detection so supply voltage if it is reduced below some threshold value so that is brownout voltage and then that has to be detected and then it should result into the brownout research so this feature is also available in the peak microcontroller. Now talking about the analog features so not only digital features you have for the serial communication parallel communication it has or that CCP module it has got analog features like it has inbuilt ADC. So this microcontroller has got inbuilt ADC it's a 10-bit ADC and 8 channels are there 8 different sensors or analog input can be connected to the microcontroller and its digital conversion can be done one at a time and that conversion can be of 10 bits. So 10-bit conversion 10-bit resolution you can get by using this particular microcontroller it has got a facility of brownout reset then it has got analog comparators also two analog comparators are there and for that you can have you require some reference voltage so that reference voltage is also programmable and then comparator outputs are also accessible externally onto the pins these are some of the analog features. So now let us talk about some spatial features of this microcontroller so it has got around 1 lakh times erase write cycle means you can have flash programming erase and write cycle for 1 lakh times not only that 10 lakh times what you can do is you can have that erase write cycle for the e-square prom electrically erasable programmable read only memory typically then it has got memory retention of the data from the memory this e-square prom retention is more than 40 years then self programming is possible ICT in circuit in circuit serial programming is possible so no need to remove the controller and then move it to the programmer program it again mount it onto the your board no not necessary you can go for that in circuit serial programming feature then it has got one very powerful feature and useful feature called as watchdog timer which may be used to prevent the program going into the infinite loop so you can have code protection also you can have programmable code protection then sleep mode is there for power saving purpose oscillator selection means you there are different oscillator selection options available you can select RC oscillator then external oscillator selection options are available so it is selectable oscillator option and then in circuit debugging via two pins is also possible now this is in brief architecture of the peak microcontroller so what you find in this particular peak microcontroller architecture is you have got a CPU which can work with the 35 instructions then oscillator is required internal oscillator is also available and ADC is there reference voltage for the comparator which is required is available as well CCP module PWM module ports are there five different ports you are finding here port A B C D E and then it suppose interrupt watchdog timer as well the reset circuit is there and talking about the memories these are the different types of memories program memory e-square prom memory RAM let us look at this architecture in somewhat detail so let us talk about the block diagram of peak microcontroller so what you are finding basically what you are finding on this side is these are the port pins of the microcontroller five ports are there and if you see most of the port pins are multifunctional so more than two or three functions are assigned to the same pin this has to do with so many peripherals are there and then if you do multiplexing so number of total number of pins will be reduced if you do the multiplexing so if you find here if you look at here you have got a flash program memory and here you have got the data memory so as I said there are advantages of going for the Harvard architecture so what architecture is there for peak microcontroller you are finding program memory and data memory is separate hence it is nothing but a Harvard architecture as well if you look at this program memory what is the size of the program memory we have seen it has it supports program memory of 8k x 14 so here you have 8k different locations now to access these 8k locations you should specify the address of the instruction so you know that standard register called as program counter register is always pointing to the instruction location so if you have 8k locations to address these 8k locations you will require 13 bit address so you find here 13 bit address is there so that is available always in the program counter register now what interesting thing here you are finding something written is stack memory so in case of peak microcontroller this stack memory is neither part of program memory or data memory it is a 8 level hardware stack fine so now you find that this program memory it has program upcodes are there every upcode will be of 14 bits so that upcode goes to the instruction register now you can find that when it goes to the instruction register either that instruction may be directly given to the instruction decoder when it goes to the instruction decoder what it does is it decides what timings and signals is to be generated and then when you want to execute basically the instructions are getting executed here at ALU level and then for the instruction operands are required so most of the times operands one of the operand is usually available in one register called as W register it's like a accumulator register of microcontroller 8051 so W register is there and then as it supports three addressing modes immediate addressing direct addressing and indirect addressing you'll find that if it is immediate addressing upcode or that instruction upcode itself has the operand available so that will be directly taken and made available for ALU if it is a direct addressing then direct address is available and that seven bit address you're finding here in the instruction itself then remaining two bits are taken from the special function register called as status register for direct addressing and then it can point to any of the memory location inside the data memory and that will be available to you as a operand if it is a direct addressing if it is indirect addressing then FSR is one register used for indirect addressing along with this FSR one more register INDF is used and then through indirect addressing also you can have access to the operand so you can have one or more operands one may be available in working register another way be the instruction itself or directly by using direct addressing it may be made available or through indirect addressing it will be made available to the ALU ALU will run that particular code and whatever is the result may be available in the working register or it can be directly stored into the file register also and then other features are like these are some typing features timers are available watchdog timer then power down mode so powered power down timer is available then this is the reset signal available power supply signals as it has timer timer zero timer one timer two so these timers are shown internal data square prom is there ccp module as we have discussed in the feature ccp module is available it's supposed serial communications usat module as well it's almost parallel communication so psp module is also available here and remaining things are the port pins so this in general architecture of the block diagram of the peak microcontroller well you find that it is having hardware architecture it's supposed direct indirect and immediate addressing as well it has got these very useful peripheral features so these are the references used for this presentation thank you


Great welcome to July set news and we're gonna go over the Q&A again. This is a different format. We just went through the live from here of what went down in New York and the walkthrough of the Salana store Which I could say I thought was pretty interesting So now we'll just go into the Q&A and answer all your burning questions the best my abilities Let's see how this works out because this will be this will be a new way to do things And if it works pretty well, then we'll keep it And of course if it doesn't then we just you know get rid of it That's what's great about being on YouTube You can play around and see which one actually works which one sucks and which one is a keeper and we can do those things and test Unlike unfortunately crypto as they test some things and it doesn't work out. It was all your money So anyhow, everybody thanks for coming by. I appreciate it. Nice. It works Q&A Have you heard of energy web token? I have I used to own it and I understand what it is really there for And I don't want anything anymore That's it That's the LJ no more James and Ben So remember I've been traveling a lot. I have been feeling well. There's some issues health-wise. So I haven't been on the the DCA show so we did one a week ago and that went pretty well We just talked about the the bear case for Bitcoin to 15k encourage you to check that out But then yesterday they sat there, right? Yeah, yesterday we were flying home from New York So kind of difficult to do a show with those guys. So yeah, I just I kind of get in where I fit in as to short says and When we do those things we do those things. It's just whenever I can Wonder I'm not traveling or something like that, but there's a lot better people than they can pick up than me to Help host a show It's a good question coin max is Hey Rob, could you make a video about what happened to the alts in the last winter so we get a feeling what could be in front of us Very simple. I'll do the video and I'll do the percentages and I'll take a look at fractals and I can just tell you that's last The last last crypto winner was brutal There was first of all, there's some that never come back and I always give my example of a dash of salt and Dash was like a top 25 crypto Not anymore and there's some development. I don't think it's ever gonna come back. I could be wrong now so there's one called salt lending and that peaked at I think over a dollar and then just kind of fizzled out forever. I think that was because the lawsuit With the government with the SEC, but I just read that Simon Dixon over a bank the future and his company They just bought out salts. So maybe if you wait long enough things actually work out But again, you you're looking at Some that don't come back ever so you're 100 loss some go down 90 95 percent and that's just a normal thing. So Like when ben on his show it talks about hey, you don't know what a crypto winner is if you've just been here since 2020 You don't know it's it's very tough to see Your portfolio go from You know millions Or hundreds of thousands or thousands or 10 bucks. I don't know and then all of a sudden it's You know, you lost 95 percent And it's very tough to go. Okay. I'm gonna keep buying. It's very tough to do that. But the ones that do that Works out pretty well. I mean not a best not investment advice, but that's where I made all my money I'm just be honest with you And uh, that's what's up Paul when when woodwood salon and trip I don't know but that that salon store was just a shot in the dark I was just we're just walking around and look over and I go So I go look at that. It's a salon store. I should probably step in there Sometimes I'm talking about this thing all the time and it was interesting for sure No, I'm not gonna talk about that Hey rich Vanessa. Hey t. Hey everybody You can't do that to me Rob's not pulling a george. What did george do now? Ozzie crypto says why so much hate for tron? You know, if you follow me on twitter We were in time square and there was an ad one of the top billboards for tron crazy, right Just goes to show you Uh Yeah, exactly. I haven't heard anyone say dashing years. It's because I've been around for a little bit of time I'm not some some people have been around since 2011 Some people say they've been around since 2010. I think they're full of it. I think they're liars But uh, some people have been around for a lot longer than I have and when people say about these these Projects, I remember what was supposed to be the biggest thing of all time and Beardy will attest to this Eos was supposed to be the biggest crypto of all time It was supposed to be like the next great one and all they were gonna do Was all these new projects that were built on the ecosystem could be airdropped via eos and that was gonna drive adoption Yeah That's a great question one must be low. I gotta go upstairs and get her Dream killer says, so where do you think alts are going? It's a great question and the answer is this I have no idea and uh, everybody There's a lot of educated guesses out of educated people But those same educated people also told you that 150 k was in the cards for bitcoin and 250 k and 300 k myself included And they also told you that uh, they went irresponsibly long On a theory, I'm at 4 000 and they're still irresponsibly long and I think it's going to be fantastic as it keeps You know taking massive hits. I mean a time goes on. It'll be okay. So in the short term. I can't tell you but after the long term Like we talked about in the video well number three or what is now the new well number three Or wallet number three. They're just buying Buying buying buying because they know that these are just natural cycles And then as time goes on it'll be just fine if you have a it's all on your time horizon if you're a 3 5 10 year person Not a big deal But if you're uh Hey, I gotta make I gotta make a ton of money by midterms in november It's gonna be a real rough time for you and crypto and just let you know Uh, oh, yeah use Rob is time for some golf is that for some golf? It's a good question. Do you think a real winter will come? I don't know a lot of people say the bottom's in And this is just it A lot of people say there's the the bottom's in and they're buying like crazy And a lot of people say no, no, no, you don't understand bitcoin's going to 10k or 8k or 3k whatever it is Which means that the entire crypto market will be below 400 billion dollars And uh, I can't tell you which one's right So for me what I do is I just look at the at the macro And see where everything's going and I just look at I go Where's the narrative where you know, we're gonna be strong economy? Uh strong market now, where's that money coming from? I don't see it actually playing out like that So for me, I'm not going in heavy and my dollar cost average. I'm actually dollar cost averaging about 15 of what I usually do Because I'm just waiting and that's I'm just hedging my bet if I'm if I'm right and everything sinks down like everybody talks about then great Then I get to dynamic dca as it starts to fall I start to put more money in if it goes down, you know, five percent If I put another 20 percent in if it goes down 20 percent, I put another 60 percent or whatever else it is But if I'm wrong And things just start going up. Well, at least I bought something and then in the next three years The uh, you know bitcoin that I bought at 19,000 whatever a heck it is And it'll probably go up to 60 80 000 the theorem that I bought at 1400 1300 whatever whatever it was probably go to four or five thousand and uh The cardano that I was buying at 40 some cents Probably go back back up to its all-time high and then plus some and then all the rest of things So for me, I just kind of look at and go I don't know I don't that's a long answer For me just to tell you I have no idea where it's going just to be safe. I just try to minimize risk That's not financial advice. Just what I'm doing. You don't have to do that. I'm also walking off the cliff I don't think you should do that either Rich says when bitcoin it's 100k you got to do a backflip in the pool I will crack my head open if I do that if I can even still do a backflip Rob is a fierce trader. Rob is a fierce holder Holder that's about it. But rob is really getting much better at selling And rob is also talking to the third person, which is never good. What's the best thing that every person can do in your opinion? As far as like investing or being a good person or I mean We're on a channel where we're talking about, you know getting into crypto and And markets so probably that's probably your big question. What's what's the best investment an average person can do? I think The first thing before you even start to invest Because I can't tell you to invest in not a financial advisor like I've always talking about Is to get your mind right And and that is just to know that that bearing bull cycles It's it sounds very easy to say But they're natural progressions. They're natural cycles and they are there's When we talk about this time is different. Those people are liars. It's never different It's the same thing over and over again. Just repeats and repeats and repeats. Just look at cycles. It's just how it goes So When we take a look at this bear market I remember when the bull market was coming on and people would tell me We're never going to see a crypto winner again We're never going to drop by 50 again because all the big institutions are here and the hedge funds and da-da-da And the paul tutor jones and the michael sailors. They're going to prop us up forever And I was like they're going to sell And elon musk is going to sell too And tessels are going to sell They did I got a lot of other things wrong, but I got that part right So when I think about what the average person can do it's probably to get your mind right as far as to save yourself This is going to be a long haul There is no get rich quick dogecoin millionaires. Well, there's one But uh, who knows how he's doing these days.  Sure you are. Sure you are um Just to state yourself This is going to be a long process And if i'm going to be here for three five ten years I do the safe things. I don't gamble And uh, just diversify a little bit. I'll be okay I know it's a very boring thing to say and it used to piss me off so bad When the other youtuber said it in 2018 when I was getting into this this game But now I get it and there was a reason why they're all so calm in 2018. It's because they bought in 2014 to 15. They didn't care like they're already up.

It's just you got to click more And now it's it's too There's a reason behind all of our madness that we do here, but we're just testing it out. So tell me what you think about The separation and we'll go from there Dorothy Mike, it was fine We're back to Puerto Rico soon and very soon That's it So straight man. Yeah, exactly.

Everyone, it's good to be with you again for the 10th meeting of the Ukraine Defense Contact Group. But before I get to today's agenda, I want to say just a few words about a troubling episode yesterday. I know that everyone here has heard that Russian aircraft again engaged in dangerous, reckless, and unprofessional practices on Tuesday in international airspace over the Black Sea. Two Russian jets dumped fuel on an unmanned US MQ-9 aircraft conducting routine operations in international airspace. And one Russian jet intercepted and hit our MQ-9 aircraft, resulting in a crash. This hazardous episode is a part of a pattern of aggressive and risky and unsafe actions by Russian pilots in international airspace. So make no mistake, the United States will continue to fly and to operate wherever international law allows. And it is incumbent upon Russia to operate its military aircraft in a safe and professional manner.
