Over the course of the winter in Wyoming, cold temperatures, freezing rain, snow, mud, and wind chill are all possible. Livestock producers use many tactics to ensure survival. Three of the most significant include weather forecasting, feeding strategy, and protection from the wind. Weather forecasting plays an important role in winter livestock production. The National Weather Service produces a cold weather advisory for newborn livestock, which can be found on their website. This and other weather reports allow producers to increase feed, move livestock, or take other precautions against the weather. Livestock's nutritional requirements increase with colder weather. If there is a wind chill, this increase can be dramatic. Most researchers agree that 20 to 32 degrees Fahrenheit is the lowest temperature dry animals can withstand with no increase in energy need. Energy can be provided to animals with extra hay or supplements. For it sure is cold out here today, almost every pasture you see will have some mechanism for breaking the wind. The horses behind me are able to get behind this tree roll to help them withstand the wind chill. From the University of Wyoming Extension, I'm Ashleigh Garos, Exploring the Nature of Wyoming.


Brazilian football legend Pelle was laid to rest on Tuesday at a vertical cemetery following a 24-hour wait held at the Urbana Caldera Stadium, the home ground of Pelle's former team Santos. Tens of thousands of Brazilians lined along the streets as Pelle's casket carried by a fire engine arrived for a private burial service at the Memorial Necropole eucumenic Cemetery, which is the tallest vertical cemetery in the world with 14 stories high. As Pelle's coffin embarked on an emotional final journey through the city, crowds were seeing gathered near Canal 6, the home of Pelle's 100-year-old mother, Celeste Arantes. Pelle's youngest sister, who was also seen on a balcony, wished she beat farewell to her brother and appeared to gesture her thanks to the crowd. Many have hailed the life of a player who exploded into the world scene as a 17-year-old at the 1958 World Cup, before going on to have a spell-binding career as a sports-leading icon. He is an asset of the century, and he was a great player to pass in the world. I am 86 years old and have followed his games ever since the 1958 World Cup held in Sweden, said Amalia Ferreria, who joined with other fans to cheer and sing Pelle's name. The football legend was buried at the ground floor of the cemetery, which will make it easier for fans to pay tribute to him, according to Pelle's family. The soccer superstar chose his final resting place by himself and was said to have remarked that he liked the spot as it didn't look like a typical cemetery, and gave him a sense of spiritual peace and tranquility. Luis Inacio Lula de Silva, who was sworn in as president of Brazil on Sunday, had earlier arrived to pay tribute at the memorial held at the Urbana Cardera Stadium. Pelle, whose given name was Edson Arantes Nascimento, died at Sao Paulo's Albert Einstein Hospital on Thursday, at the age of 82, after a battle with colon cancer. Considered by many as the greatest footballer of all time, Pelle is the only player to win the World Cup three times, having lifted the sport's most prestigious trophy in 1958, 1962 and 1970.

This is Minor Issues number eight. I'm Mark Thornton at the Mises Institute and today I want to talk about the Federal Reserve's 2% inflation target. You'd be absolutely justified to ask the question why does the Fed have a 2% of target rate of inflation? And why isn't their target zero? This is something that's talked about on Bloomberg Radio, on CNBC television in the Wall Street Journal and virtually every issue, but it's not ever explained why we need 2% inflation. Given that inflation is obviously a bad thing, why don't we have a target of zero inflation? Is this just some kind of bad medicine? Well, if you turn to the Fed, they'll tell you that the inflation target helps them achieve their mandates, but they never explain exactly how the inflation target helps with their mandates. The real story is that in 1990, New Zealand established the first inflation target of 1 to 3% consumer price inflation. They did this because of all the inflation they experienced in the 1980s and they wanted to establish some credibility for their currency and they wanted to gain some confidence in their monetary policy. But it's important to note that this was a maximum promise that inflation would never get above 3% in a given year. There was nothing about a minimum barrier to low inflation and indeed, the Fed used their inflation target of 2% prior to 2020 to complain about the low rate of inflation in the US and how the Fed needed to expand the money supply and keep interest rates down in order to bump up the inflation rate in the United States. So it was providing them with a justification for more inflation. Now, the original purpose worked for New Zealand. The ideas spread through European countries, South American countries, Asia and African countries. In its original form, it was very successful. The European Central Bank and the Fed never explicitly adopted inflation targeting because they have a dual mandate. But by adopting the 2% inflation target, they've given themselves another justification, another excuse to manipulate the money supply and interest rates in the economy. They did it prior to COVID when they were justifying their ultra low interest rates and now that inflation has reached historic levels in the United States and elsewhere, they're using it to justify their increases in interest rates and the pain that that's creating throughout the economy. So it's a justification for manipulation. It's an excuse. It's really a spokescreen. It's not what you would consider a monetary policy in any scientific sense. And of course, in the long run, it justifies more inflation, even if they were able to target inflation correctly and precisely.


Welcome, traders, to a typical charting with me, Patrick, and we want to draw your attention to Stirling Dollar on the four hour time frame revisiting this one. We are trading above the weekly and daily pivot at the moment and looking to recapture the channel here. If we can get back through 139.50, then I'm looking for us to trade up into the descending trend line resistance and weekly range resistance now coming in at about 140.80. This price support zone, what's bearish about that there, so short positions, I'm just looking for a move down to test 137. See a little bit more clearly here on the hourly time frame. Looking for that break of this descending trend line to set up that move into the 140.80 and then looking for a sell signal there. As always, traders, plan the trade, trade the plan, most importantly, manage your risk. Until next time, thanks very much.


And welcome to the 2 p.m. Update with me David white and of course we've got a market that Yeah, you can say just a little bit off the top down about three tenths of a percent on the S&P cash not a lot going on today course options the monthly options expirations on Friday so we have options rollover today and you know what you look for is a little bit of volatility we don't have much I don't expect much we certainly don't have much volume on the push down I'm not expecting a whole lot more before we go higher on Wednesday but probably a little bit of a squeeze in the Wednesday and then we'll see what retail sales are like when we come back on Monday but just 5.6 billion shares or 5.7 billion shares on the CBOE total volume where a week or two ago or whatever 10 days ago we had about 14 billion shares so it's pretty light volume generally you don't want to be short going through this week if something big is going to happen it's going to happen probably next Monday maybe sometimes on Friday depending on things go but there isn't a whole lot of reasons to get too excited I think this week if you're in a stock that's heavily shorted expect if it is that heavily shorted probably be squeezed but that's kind of yeah of course everybody's talking about a handful of stocks I don't know if I have a lot to add right now for that but we don't have a lot of indications of much higher much lower overall the bias into the middle of December is lower but again not a lot of volume to drive either side doesn't really look like we're going to go break out some highs or break out some lows at the moment but we're probably going to find that it's a market that's driven by a headline that we don't or even can think of right now that will come out probably next week and probably set up the trend into the end of the year always good to hold your powder dry wait for the whites of their eyes we'll be back with a show in a minute the reality is that navigating financial markets can be risky


Angela and welcome to the art center and welcome to the family festival Norway Thank you so much for coming out this afternoon Just some housekeeping real quick, please take the time now to silence yourself bones Please refrain from using them because the glow is really distracting to all of you and to the dance Specifically she's the president of the Sons of Norway Lodge here. Thanks to all the Sons of Norway all the volunteers So I also do want to thank Lingling College a light energy for helping make this possible And I wanted to let you know that our next family festival will be January 18th We'll be celebrating the culture of Thailand. So make sure you come back for that And now I'd like to bring out Stacey I'm just gonna tell you a little bit more about the Three empty seats down here if anybody in the back wants to come and fill in these single seats are more than welcome to My name is Stacy Heimsoth. I'm the director of the Stoughton High School in the region dancers And we are a school group that has been in existence for over 60 years started in 1953 These are sophomores juniors and seniors at our high school. We practice every morning at five minutes to seven until 740 so they have time to shower and get to class on time We can't practice after school because most of these students are also athletes and so after school They have their athletic performance. So they're very busy kids into lots of things And in order to be into this group, they have to have great recommendations a good great point average and be you know Kids of good good characters. So I think you're in for a real treat We will be performing now and then also again at 2 o'clock and we'll do mostly different dances at 2 o'clock So if you want to come back or spread the news to have other people come and see us at 2 o'clock, that would be great So without further ado, let's welcome the Stoughton High School Norwegian dancers But we do dances from all of Scandinavia Mostly though from Norway and Sweden in little man You're going to see two groups of four dancers The guys will be in the middle and with one girl on each side The girls are going to drape their arms across the guys shoulders and link hands and as they walk around The girls feet will lift up off the floor and they'll fly through the air They're going to do this three times And the second time they will be going up and down using a dipping maneuver If you notice they are all wearing boonads and these are all from Norway So they are brought over from Norway and we have a seamstress in Stoughton who puts them all together for us So they are as you know, they're authentic and if you've ever priced a boonad, you know They're very costly each of the girls boonads is anywhere from two thousand to five thousand dollars apiece Little man Girls are starting to flirt with each other and snooze which then of course makes them sneeze all over the girls So let's see what happens in snooze dance a Russian Influence pretty much the middle part of Norway where the country just starts to get skinny as it goes north But you can hear a little bit of a Russian influence even at the country. It's not way far north But just listen for that again in Scandinavian Square You're going to see some of the bus stop like you did in it will also be treated to a lift with the ladies at the end of the dance She dancer because of and I get to see a lot of smiling children laughing and Enjoying our performance and I think that's the best part of it Hi, I'm Patrick Riley. I like to dance because I like the group of people I'm dancing with and it brings a smile on everyone's face Hi, I'm Isaac I exterior. Um, the reason why I joined dancing is because My grandpa was one of the first dancers and I just thought I should carry the tradition and a few my cousins are on it and I'm Isaac Landers and I joined Norwegian dancers because it's a great experience and it's a huge tradition in storm, Wisconsin Hi, my name is Connor and I joined Norwegian dancers because I like to be in a part of the close-knit group Well, we practice every morning for about seven o'clock to seven forty five And it does get very tiring sometimes, but you know, I mean, it's a lot of fun at the same time Yes, some of our guys get a little beat up with the The tricks that they do during the hulling, but overall we're pretty healthy kids. So we bounce back from it pretty quick Well, we traveled last year to Arizona and that was a lot of fun And so one of the best things about our tours is that we get really close together We really bond but as far as traveling. It's a really cool experience because for me I'd never been to Arizona before so it was a cool way to experience Arizona, but also bring our culture and As far as going to Norway next year that will be really exciting for a group like Isaac But yeah, it'll be really cool for our group to be able to do that. No Yeah, a little bit adds a little bit of weight the guys can Talk a little bit about how girls get heavier when they're wearing wool Lifting us a little bit tougher and especially to Arizona. We were hot wool bunans They're all like wool. So when we wore them, we got really sweaty and hot So yeah, that's one thing about our group. We're really close because we're all sweating on each other Another bonus to the dancer group Sometimes depending on How the week was beforehand you might want to punch a guy, but otherwise we're pretty friendly and it's usually fake punches The slaps the slaps get intense if you if you've had a bad day the day before You maybe just want to take it out on somebody the person closest to you is probably the best option Best part about Norwegian dancing is being able to make everybody in the room smile It's between our acting or our tricks or our Lifting us in the air it no matter who you are from little toddlers to senior citizens. They love it and it's fun to make them smile And add to that Just the group of people like people have said before It's just you become so close with the people and it's the best experience you could ever get I mean, I don't think Cassie and I knew each other beforehand But we never would have been as good of friends as we are without dancers. Yeah, it definitely has definitely been the biggest The best part of my senior year my whole high school career. This is the best part of it So I'm so happy that I joined dancers Nice kisses and then they'll do a weaving and then towards the end They're gonna take their two lines and form two circles and at the end they will take those two circles and Mesh them into one and watch the footwork pattern. It's a little unusual in co-car. They'll be doing a heel toto pattern co-car and Galesca and watch for one point There's a little bit of a humor thrown in so watch for that and then at the end They'll be doing a weaving pattern a figure eight pattern where they make just a big mess with their swords And then they come out of it in sword dance If you were in doorway, you would have the bunad that represents the district that your family comes to have gymnastics stunts in them, which Obviously due to the size limitations today. We can't do here our dancers. No 46 dances So when we perform the chances are that you're going to be seeing different dances So we encourage you to come to Stoughton sometime and see them and of course we in Stoughton. We celebrate sitting to my Very well a second largest celebration in the world I think it is and we celebrate Friday and Saturday is Sunday of the weekend That's closest to sit in a my which is May 17th, which is norways independence day So we will conclude our performance today with the Hulling Cust


Good afternoon, and thanks for joining us here on Pacific Partnerships for Education here on Think Tech Hawaii. I'm your host, Ethan Allen. With me today in Think Tech Studio are Kara Miller from Kara Ocean Consulting. Welcome, Kara. And Kayla Sheet are from the Coast Guard Academy. Excellent. You're the first Coast Guard Academy person we've probably had on this show. It's wonderful to have you both here. And our show is Who's Who in Gujigu? This is Kara's great title. Probably most people don't know. Where is Gujigu? Good question. Good question. Gujigu is part of the Republic of the Marshall Islands. There's an atoll called Quadulant Atoll. And we have a great image that shows Ebi Island, which is the biggest population hub in all of Quadulant Atoll. About 12,000 people live there. It's also the most densely populated island on the planet. As you can see, there isn't a lot of open land left in that space right there. So if you see at the north end of Ebi, there's what looks like a sand road and a few small islands right past that road that are connected to Ebi. Gujigu Island is the third one past Ebi. So actually Quadulant Atoll High School, I think I have an image that shows the high school as well, is located on Gujigu Island. And to accommodate students from many, many different schools, both public and private, on Ebi, the camp itself was held at this place, at the high school, on Gujigu Island. Great. Great. So this is a camp to help introduce kids to the ocean and marine science. So it seems sort of counterintuitive, right? People living on a small island, you would think they would all be intimately familiar with the ocean. Every day would explore the ocean, but... But in fact, that's not the case. There hasn't been a lot of place-based, project-based, outdoor classroom style education offered in the past to the students in this place, especially around ocean and marine sciences. There is some environmental programs that are focused more on various gardens, learning gardens. I know your Clean Water Project has a lot of field components to it, but not specifically about the ocean and marine science and coral reef and fisheries, both science and management side of all of that. So in the summer, when there isn't a lot going on for the kids on Ebi, this summer camp concept was basically developed through the public school system of the Marshall Islands. And being only the second year, it was the first time that the marine science and the ocean sciences were offered. A lot of the kids don't even swim regularly. Many do and love the ocean, but quite a few don't and don't have a very high level of comfort with the ocean at all. So using masks and snorkels and using data and gear that they're collecting themselves to learn more about their marine environment, it was a first for that. Yeah. And yet that's really critical stuff, right, to take advantage of local resources, local environment that the kids do know, they are familiar with it, they see it every day. It really helps. It shows them there's stuff to be learned from the world around them, right? They can draw some knowledge from their surrounding environment and make sense of it and find that to a science. It's not something done off in a laboratory somewhere, right? Yeah. So take us through a little bit about how you got this program going. Sure. Yeah, my pleasure. You know, I have to give a lot of thank yous and gratitude to both the school system of the Marshall Islands, specifically Jelton and Jane, who's the Associate Commissioner for Education for Quagelin Atoll, who I worked with in a past position that I held and spent quite a bit of time over on eBuy throughout the year and then at times in the summer. And noticing that when school ends, there aren't a lot of summer school continuing education, studying, preparation, whether it be for math, for science, for basic reading kinds of skills offered. And this is something that can both supplement what's already ongoing during the year and hopefully help with some of their performance on these tests and benchmarks, but also give them experiences and an opportunity to do something fun and exciting that's their home and their backyard that can show them a new possibility that makes education more relevant, more personal, more exciting, that there's a more emotional connection to. Absolutely. We've talked about before, I know, Ethan, you and I, about this connection to what you're studying and that really being the key to wanting to change something, whether it's in your behavior or your family's behavior or even larger on the whole island, what you see going on. And I think we really saw this program inspire them. Definitely. And I think what Kara was talking about, just like the opportunity to be able to go out and be in the ocean and look at what's around them. I think that was something that really inspired a lot of the students and just growing up on Kauai, being able to go out in the ocean every single day, that was something that I'm thankful for. And I think being able to share that experience with the students there was really something impactful in seeing that there's a possibility, even for the women that are there. So we worked with a lot of young girls there as well and just showing them that there's a lot of opportunities out there. It's just what you want from it and allowing them to be out in the ocean and learn about what ecosystem is around them. Yeah, I think it's very important for them to learn. They don't think of the ocean as being a classroom, but to learn that there is. There's things to be learned from this ocean. There are ways to study in the ocean and still have a very good time, have a lot of fun, but actually be learning things, being contributing also, contributing data to larger science databases, right? That's right. And also, why does it really even matter? And we talked a lot about the health component, human health, being very much linked to the health of the ocean. They all are very familiar with climate change. I think there's enough discussion and dialogue. They're hearing that term a lot, climate change, and they're getting exposure to it. And yet they haven't quite made the connection that we were trying to help them establish regarding human health, whether it's diet, whether it's feeling like you have some place to go that is quiet that you can go to as a retreat place to find peace or find a deeper connection to your home or someplace that basically is inspiring you to be more. So doing more from a leadership kind of discussion point for the island, knowing that their ability to stay there as a community, as people, not just for the food, from the fish and the ocean, but from, again, the health of that ecosystem being able to support, whether it's shoreline protection or a food source or recreation or all of these different ecosystem services that we've coined that term here in the West. But I think that the marine science students had an opportunity that the rest of the campers didn't. So it was only about 40 out of 103 students. And like I said, from all different public and private schools and the top five best students of each high school, but also the five at-risk students from every high school, which I think we really appreciated getting to work with a spectrum of levels, of experience, of capabilities, and from the student that came off as distracted the whole time to the student that was the most engaged and excited, playing the leadership roles, they all gave us positive feedback about loving the content that they learned and loving the experiences that they were able to have. So we feel grateful for that. Such an enriching experience for these kids, as the school systems, particularly out in the region, don't tend to offer stuff like this. That's right. That's right. That's wonderful that you were able to do it. Yeah. So walk us through what sort of what process you took the kids through. Yeah, sure. You want to start? Right. So the Spartan camp was a larger aspect of it. So around 2 p.m., we took the kids, took them over to our marine science camp, and we kind of started off with a lecture. We would go through the today's objectives of what we're learning. So we talked about ridge-to-reef resource management, different species. We talked about pollution, the ocean health related to human health, just to name a few. And then we did the hands-on aspect of that, so actually going in the ocean, doing some of the data collection, and practicing those methods with them as well. Excellent. No, it is critical. Kids learn that, experience that, understand what a sort of a shrinking resource the ocean really is. Right. There's only, what I was reading recently, 13% of the ocean is considered wilderness. Now, I mean, the rest of it, the other 80% is actually impacted by humans already. That's astounding. Yeah. When you look at how much of the globe is covered by the ocean.  That's right. Yeah, it's truly amazing. So why don't we talk a little bit about some of the things that the kids were actually doing? The quadrants, you were teaching them to use to do surveys in a systematic way? Yes, quadrats. Quadrats, all right. And in there, that's quite all right. This was a new word that they all learned as well. And from the program that I've talked about in the past on the show, Quest. It's called Quantitative Underwater Ecological Survey Techniques. It is a University of Hawaii program that's run out of various campuses throughout the Hawaiian Islands. And I've been fortunate enough to assist in the past. So that is where the concept for this field-based marine science camp came from. Instead of scuba dive-based, it's all snorkel-based. And one of the main methods that I wanted them to experience was building their own coral quadrats and then using the coral quadrats to measure what percent of their marine environment is covered by coral instead of another substrate like sand or rock or algae. And then of that, how much of it is healthy? So I have a bunch of photos, I think, that show the process of using PVC pipes, huge ones. They did all the sawing of the PVC pipes themselves. They put them together into our one by one meter quadrats and tied the string themselves. And again, this was something that they didn't quite understand what they were going to be doing with these or why they were having to construct these. But once they were able to practice first on land, we did a lot of land-based practice first before we ever went into the water, how to lay out a transect line, which is the line that you swim along to take your data samples or to do your data collections or to basically collect your research data on. We use slippers, as you can see in this picture, to model the coral, but basically teaching them basic statistics, so basic mathematics, fractions, percentages, statistics, estimation. And we had tied this into the larger scientific process as well. So they were already setting hypotheses based on basic observations that we did when we all went out as a group practicing snorkeling. That was a skill they needed to just practice in themselves. So once we learned and felt more comfortable using the quadrics on land, we did take them into the water. We had three days that were really just focused on our field collection methods. We had two sites and the kids were in teams and they did all of this themselves. They gear loaded up with a lot of gear. It's like the whole thing. They have their transect line, their weights, their quadrat, their slates that they're writing everything down on and then just helping each other out using the buddy system kind of mentality, making sure that everybody is together and safe. We had some days where there was some current, a little bit of side wash action and our in and out was at a dock, but there were all kinds of hazards around still too. So I was really impressed, you know, the data collection aside at just their ability to step up and handle all of this multi-tasking for the first time ever when there's still not even that comfortable snorkeling. Swimming is a different story, but snorkeling is actually a very specific skill in itself that they hadn't had a lot of practice with before we loaded them up with all this gear and sent them out to collect data. Excellent, excellent. So what torched the things really briefly today, what sort of the big thing they found through all this? Really briefly. Sure. Do you want to talk about some of that? I think above just the educational aspect, I think it's also just giving them the opportunity to learn. And I think that is honestly the most impactful thing that they were able to take away from it because a lot of them, like we said, haven't even snorkeled before, they haven't even really looked at what have I been missing out on my whole life of what's there. And I think sparking that interest in science and exploration and asking questions because once we did get out there, you know, a lot of them were going, what is this? What is this? Why is it this way? And I think that's just really the big takeaway from it is opening up those doors and opening up those opportunities for the students. Wonderful. We're going to explore this further. When we come back right now, I'm told we need to take a quick break. Kayla Sheeda, Cara Miller are with me here today. I'm Ethan Allen, your host on Pacific Partnerships in Education, and we'll be back in one minute. When I was growing up, I was among the one in six American kids who struggled with hunger and hungry mornings make tired days. Grumpy days. That kind of days. But with the power of breakfast, the kids in your neighborhood can think big and be more. We're not hungry for breakfast. We're hungry for more. More ideas. More dreams.  When kids aren't hungry for breakfast, they can be hungry for more.  And welcome back here to Pacific Partnerships in Education. I'm your host, Ethan Allen. You're on Think Tech, Hawaii. With me today in the studio are Kayla Sheeda and Cara Miller. And we're talking about who's who in Gujigu, Gujigu being an island on off of Quajol Matal, actually, I guess, in Quajol Matal, and the Marine Science summer camps that you had 40 high school students spent two weeks learning about their local environment in terms of the underwater environment, really learning how to take data, what kind of data to do it, how to do that systematically. Sounds like a very exciting kind of situation for them. I'm sure you had planned all this whole workshop out very carefully. But as so often happens, I suspect you probably didn't go exactly as you had planned, right? Can you talk about some of the things that were maybe played out a little differently? Yeah, sure. You know, I was really, really impressed with the Spartan summer camp program overall. So one of the things that I wasn't anticipating was how busy these kids were every single day from morning to night. There was either class, regular three period classes, math, reading, English, and then sports, traditional skills. Everything was based at the high school, so there was a lot of basketball and weaving, and they learned tennis. And there was actually two traditional martialese, Fischer, canoe builder and weaver that came in from some of the outer islands to teach the kids more traditional methods of life, really. And so there was not a lot of time. You know, we had a more rigorous schedule planned with them. So right away, knowing we had less time. And then the other thing was that I actually was anticipating just 11th and 12th graders, but we had as young as a 7th grader, some of the leader 8th graders going into 8th grade, all the way up to seniors. So we had the full spectrum, and like I mentioned earlier, we had both the most competent in terms of their test scoring and focus and things like that and some of others. So we really had a much wider variety of age group, experience levels, things like that. And just how long some of these skills would take, I think we take them for granted now, snorkeling, for example. We take it for granted, but when you've never done it before, it is something that requires a lot of practice and a lot of time and things like that. So, you know, we adjusted, we went with the flow, we adapted based on what we saw, the feedback that we got from the students, very specifically. Those would be some of the main things. Sure, sure. And I know you did introduce them to these modern techniques, but also to some traditional techniques like this traditional Marshallese fishing technique, right? Yeah, I was really excited. I had talked to Jelton about this and I knew there was a canoe builder, one of the only ones left that knew all 146 parts of the canoe who was coming in to teach the kids about this, because no one on eBuy does this anymore and definitely no one on eBuy does this traditional method of fishing. It was really, really neat. It was one of my favorite parts. So Joel Jake was his name. He came in from an outer island. He actually constructed a fishing net with the kids. It's made out of a very strong vine from one tree and then palm leaves, as you can see, stripped, prepared and then in a very methodic way wrapped around the vines. And when this is done, it's hundreds of meters long. It's incredibly long. And the kids actually got to go out with Joel, with this line. They didn't go to as deep of a part of the ocean that traditionally it would be used in. It's actually used to corral schools of tuna and other highly migratory fish, if you can believe that. And then actually swimming the thing, corraling the fish into the shallows, turns out they're scared of the palm fronds and they won't try to escape, even though in theory they easily could underneath the net. But I thought that was really amazing because this was couched in the terms of marine science and fisheries. And we had talked to them about quantitative versus qualitative data. We had talked to them about Western science versus, again, a Western term, but versus traditional ecological knowledge and some of these more traditional forms of science that the West is just starting to really appreciate. I know you and I have talked about this before, but for them to get to learn from a master fisherman from their own place and their own culture, but have it taught in the context of marine science and fisheries, I was really happy with how that turned out. Yeah, rich opportunities for discussion about why, you know, why this is effective if the fish could swim out, why don't they, but what are the behavioral mechanisms that stopped them from doing that? Why does no one do this anymore? Why have we never seen our family in E-bye using this net before? It's just, you just go pick a vine and pick some palms and, you know. Rather than buying a net, risking losing that net. That's right. Expense the plastic into the ocean, is that right? Yeah, you don't want that. So, no, wonderful, wonderful to be able to meld those two aspects. Yeah, it was. And then you say, I mean, this is, you're really, you're sort of on the forefront of this movement to try to engage kids in this place-based education that really is building their own capacities and building the capacities of the communities here to really take charge of their future, which is so important. Because these areas face a lot of, a lot of challenges going forward, right?  Water issues, this, that. It's important for them to gain this kind of self-efficacy, right, to understand. They can understand things, they can learn, they can learn new stuff, they can master new techniques, there's ways to combine their traditional knowledge from their culture with other newly introduced techniques to them and really, hopefully, build some good synergies there, right? Yeah, yeah. I think what you're talking about is empowerment and confidence. And yeah, self-efficacy, I heard you say, but you're right, it's this idea of independence and feeling like they can make it on their own. A lot of them feel like they want to stay in E-bye the rest of their lives, which is great if that's what they end up doing, but we hope that the experiences they had in this camp will show them that there are other options than to just work on the military base or just be a mom or a dad or just take care of the house, that there are other options that, in fact, are desperately needed on this island, they're desperately needed and I think that these kids realize they're capable of doing some of these things that are missing, these skills are missing. Yeah, so I was gonna ask, did you run into, is because your program here clearly expands people's horizons in terms of the typical gender-specific roles they are, where women have very clear roles and men have very clear roles and never the twain shall meet, right? Yeah, that's a good point. Traditional cultures, and did you run into resistance from the kids or did they really just sort of go with the flow, as it were? I generally say that they went with the flow. I think some of the girls were a little bit more reluctant at first, and I think that's just part of the culture of the girls are kind of take a step back and let everyone else go first, but I think those that were open to hear us and know what, that were there to help them, I think they loved the program just as much as the male student counterparts, they were in the ocean, they were hanging out with Kara, hanging out on the side, and be like, hey, what's that? I'm so curious to see what's going on, and I think a little bit in the beginning, but honestly, overall, the girls were super interested and they loved the program, and I think it helps to promote their ideas and help promote their success in the future. Yeah, I think this is so important, again, to open people's eyes and expand their horizons, make them realize they do have choices. Yeah, if they want to stay on e-buy and pursue a traditional fishing career, they gained a good deal of knowledge on how to do that, right? If they want to think about going off to Stanford and becoming an electron microscopist, that door has now been cracked open to them, right? We did use a microscope. Okay. We were able to use a single microscope with a power outage. Okay. Can you believe that? We just used our iPhone light, not we, but our helpers, our amazing helpers. Thank you, Sidney and Katie. Good job. We were really lucky to have a lot of support for this program. Maybe I'll just mention that since I'm talking about it with the Siderno family ministry group that's out there incredibly helpful for us during this program. Me feeling like Kayla's assistance and presence was invaluable. I couldn't have done any of this without her. And it's a program that she's a part of that hopefully will keep repeating itself in e-buy. That's right, yeah. About marine and environmental science. Wow, wonderful. I certainly hope that happens. It's great. You guys have started something big here. I think it's gonna keep our fingers crossed.  Kayla Sheetha, Kara Miller. I've been here, my wonderful guests here on Pacific Partnerships and Education. And I hope you'll come back in two weeks for our next show. Until then.


Good evening everyone. I Dr. Alangrit is an JR3 radio diagnosis at IPGMAR representing my paper on the topic pattern of involvement of lower limb arteries in atherosclerotic disease correlation by Doppler and CT angiography. Peripheral arterial occlusive disease commonly referred to as peripheral arterial disease or peripheral vascular disease refers to the obstruction or deterioration of arteries other than those supplying the heart and within the brain. There are few studies in literature which have analyzed the vascular insufficiency distribution patterns and simultaneously correlated it clinically. The aims and objectives of this study were to diagnose and assess anatomical site and distribution of lower limb atherosclerosis, assessment of the severity of the vascular change by simultaneous use of UHG Doppler and CT angiography, and thirdly to help in treatment of atherosclerotic peripheral vascular disease and lower limb arteries. The material and methods in the present study comprised of 30 patients. Patients with lower limb claudication, wrist pain, gangrene, referred to the department of radio diagnosis from department of CTVS and other departments were screened by UHG Doppler first. If UHG screening revealed atherosclerotic changes in lower limb arteries, he was further evaluated by CT angiography. As a result, in our study 8, that is 26.7% of the patients were 30 to 40 years old, 20% that is 66, 20 of them that is 66.7% patients were 41 to 50 years old, and 2, that is 6.7% patient were 51 to 60 years old. 11 patients were female and 19 were male, 21 patients had history of DM, 15 patients had history of hypertension, and 14 patients had history of smoking. This is the result that is a distribution of age and years, and according to the various parameters that have been described here, distribution of age and years, distribution of history of hypertension, gangrene, according to history of smoking, and right-sided arterial wall thickening plaque, color change and DM. The various results have been displayed accordingly, as you can see on your screen. In our study, 25 patients had color change, 16 patients had gangrene. At right-limbs, patients had common femoral arterial wall thickening. So at right-sided arterial system, predominant distribution of wall thickening and plaque is at superficial femoral artery, popliteal artery, and anterior tibial artery. In left-limbs, 16 of them had common femoral arterial wall thickening. So overall distribution of wall thickening and plaque at BA, ADA, BT, and left-side of arterial system. And accordingly, there's bar diagram below represents that. The distribution of diffuse or focal involvement of right-sided arterial system. As you can see in the table, it has been listed here, the findings, distribution of diffuse or focal involvement of left-sided arterial system and right-sided artery. Now, in the conclusion, majority of patients were male, that is 19 out of 30, and there was a significant correlation between lower limb atherosclerotic disease and history of diabetes. Superficial femoral artery, popliteal artery, anterior tibial artery, posterior tibial artery, predominantly short atherosclerotic wall thickening and plaque disease. Calcification affects almost equally all the lower limb arteries are affected. Diffuse pattern of arterial involvement is predominant pattern in atherosclerotic disease rather than focal luminal components. These are the references which I had used. Thank you.


Suspended Central Bank of Nigeria, Governor Gaudrin Emefele has been arraigned at a federal high court sitting in Ikoi Lagos on two counts of illegal possession of firearms and ammunition. He was brought to the court by officials of the Department of State Services at 9.21 a.m. The suspended CBN buzz was arraigned before the vacation judge, Justice Nicholas Oweba, from the President of the Nigerian Bar Association, Joseph Daudu, led other lawyers in Emefele's defense. He, however, pleaded not guilty to the charges brought against him. After the plea, Daudu, a senior advocate of Nigeria, told the court that his client has been in detention for weeks. He also told Justice Oweba that the application for bail has been filed and served on the prosecution. Emefele would later ask the court to admit him to bail on self-recognizant, but the court has not ruled on the matter.

So check them out. I really like all the kind of blasts from the past type projects. So many. Yeah. I don't feel bad that we don't have a super excellent crazy one this year. We really don't. We have an ear and a I mean, it could kind of be you. New old lantern, I don't know. The magic band one could be used like to open a candy or something. Yeah, you know what? That could totally be remixed to be a Halloween prop. Yeah, yeah. Like in our community. That's actually what the WizKids must be. Yeah, like in our community chat. Like in our community chat, we can be like, hey, if you're trick-treating with your kids, make sure to wear your magic band and they could give you an extra treat. Or you can embed the RFID tag into something and they can like make a hammer or something and then like, I don't know. Anyway, hey, everybody. Good morning, good morning. We're back in the discord chat. We're checking out the banter here. Really good one, Nick. Nick Cry saying that he's literally looking for a 3D printer and the live show comes on. Oh. We're buying a $500 printer so they can print 90 cent buttons for the 2.8 TFT case because we don't sell them anymore. That is the perfect use case for them. Yeah, brackets, buttons.  Oh yeah, as you see a little bit later on. You'll see, useful can be fun as well. Practically weird is the theme. Good morning, IDs in from Malaysia. Hello, welcome to the show. All right, let's go ahead and, I think that's it, right? Yeah, that's the housekeeping, right? Jump into this week's kind of Halloween-inspired, spooky project? Yeah, it's totally spooky project. So, we have the... We get a couple of requests from Mark Phil and it's always like, quests on. Oh, here's a picture of an idea that we saw, which was a Victorian age lady who was holding her phone and all dressed all fancy with an ear. I don't remember this. I know because we can't find the image anymore. Yeah, we can't find the original poster anymore. Where we got the inspiration from this. So, this is a Ninja Flex ear. It's matched to the color tone of my skin. So, there's a couple of different skin colors. This is using the prosthetic TPE, or TPU, filament from either Ninja Flex or ColorFab. Okay. I think I wanted to show the couple of different... I'm gonna do a wide... Couple of different tones that they have available. Ultra wide. Because these were for prosthetics. This is the TPE, so it does have grip. So, when you have three to print the robotic hands, they are able to grip onto objects. So, a couple of different skin tone colors we have. In stock, we used to have all of them sold out of all of them, except the Almond Peach or the Blush, sorry. While supplies last, folks, they don't make this stuff anymore. At least Color... Ninja Flex doesn't anymore. But you can get it from ColorFab. TPU is the filament. Yeah. So, a couple of different colors and wanted to have that color match to what... A couple of people have made similar projects like this, where it was using silicone, trying to do the synthetic skin matching. And one of the cool things with this is it's actually functional, because it's attached to a popsocket. So you can actually use this for your phone, popsockets, or phone grips in general, pretty popular in terms of having it. It's an easy way to hold your phone. Let's be real here, we all work on our mobile phones. All of our jobs are consistently... Like, you can't do some of your work without it being on mobile, unless you have... You're making a point here. This is work.  What do they have? They have their iPad or their phone. They're doing all of their... So, why not add some player and some personality to your work phone? Exactly, yeah. So, here's some weirdness. It's just attachment for the popsocket. So, it's cool you have the color matching little base here, so it'll hide away, because I don't think they'll make these in any of the colors to match it. And there are a couple of models where they actually 3D print this whole thing in TPU. You probably could. Yeah, this is cheap enough to just buy them. Right. It's like a couple of bucks. And the adhesion that they actually have, and this is supposed to be swappable, so if you don't have like a magnetic case, you can take these off, you just wash it real quick. Okay, cool. But with the NinjaFlex filament, it adheres very well. So, just watch out for that. Once you do your placement on this, make sure that that's where you want it, because after about a day, it is going to fuse onto there. And we did work on... This is the short hardness on the filament? This is the 85A. Okay, so different TPUs have different short hardnesses. Short hardness is just kind of how soft and grippy it is. Yeah, this is super flexible, super grippy. So, like on surfaces, it will grip on. And sort of a temple, if you print it thin enough, you can make it cling to windows. We've made Lego studded tape using the exact same filament. So it does have very good gripping abilities and the texture on it. I'm good at uses for TPU. Can you switch the camera to the main camera? We're just trying to see all those. Yeah, yeah. To show you the texture that we have on there. So this is using the powder-coated PEI bed and you can sort of get some sort of like skin-type texture. So that's a nice tip for that. And we'll go over the settings that I'm using for this. But yeah, it's a good way to add texture to that. And the extra little bit that we were doing was adding like the sweat beading on there and it looked like real skin. And because it is Ninja Flex, you are able to pierce this. So you have a request from Philly who wanted to make sure that we showed that off by piercing the earlobe with earring. What else can we cover on this? Ninja Flex design case. So you have your cutouts. This one is specifically for the iPhone 14 Pro. We do have all of the past models down to I think like iPhone 6 on our Thingiverse page. So if you have an older phone, you can still get one of our designed cases that would work perfectly on this. You also have the cutouts for the volume and the button, the ports on the bottom here as well. So all that is aligned and updated. And excellent case, if all you want is just a productive case for it. We also have on the same repo for that. I think we showed this off a couple of weeks ago too. Just a simple veranoid pattern one with a cutout for MagSafe or the other MagSafe Popsockets. So those are compatible. If you want to have a permanent solution, bam, right here. Nice creep out for Halloween and beyond. So if we, I guess, go jump into the learn guide for this, super simple. It's really just a placeholder for all the 3D files, the Fusion 360 file, okay. And the 3D printing settings. So just a little overview of what this project is. Some of the comments were like, oh, why would you do this? This is definitely for the creative engineer. If you're working on special effects, if you're working at somewhere where creativity, you need to bottle a flexible ear for whatever Halloween prop or whatever. This is what this is for. This isn't for typical business man type guy thing. Sorry, that's not what Interfrugate is. We're all creative engineers here. He's not a business man type guy. So this is what this is for. This is for the people who have cool creative jobs and need to figure out solutions on how to make guts. Oh, you know, the quick baker, you know. So yeah, this is definitely what this project is. Sorry, business guy. Move on, right? Let's go business guy. So here's all the parts you're gonna need for this. It's pretty much just the Popsocket, the base to cover, the attachment, and then the ear that'll go right on top. Take a look here, some of the Ninja Flex settings that we are always using. So 0.3 initial layer height, so you don't have it fusing to the PEI powder coat to bed. Yeah, it sticks very well to the PEI, so that's kinda nice. No need for a glue stick or any of the sort of extra stuff. Yeah, this works pretty well. It just sticks really well to the powder coated bed. And one thing that I need to put on here is when it's done printing, for removing it. You wanna have it hot, right? You need to make sure that it is still at temperature, which is 50C. Yeah, it reminds me of when you do heat transfer for your shirt, when you do a Creecut shirt design, you wanna do these hot pulls. So the idea is that while it's still warm, you can pull off the film. Yeah, so if you try to pull it while it's cold, it is... Rip the design up.  So make sure that it is hot. Yeah, so you wanna remove your Ninja Flex prints when your bed is still hot. Exactly. So 50C. 50C? Okay. That's what we wrote down to. I need to write that in there so I can copy and paste it. We just normally cover it on the show. Exactly, yeah. So 230C for the extruder, 0.2 to 0.25 millimeter layer height. I use the 0.2 for the case and a 0.25 for the ear. You can kinda see there, it has a low resolution on it. But you know, since you're not standing so close to it and really notice it.  So for the boat ends, definitely have it off for the non, for a direct drive. I think it's like at 0.5. Oh wow. I need to specify that as well. Yeah, I bring it up just cause normally we just turn it off completely.  But normally we're like, hey, this thing comes out extra stringy and we clean it up. And that's just the way it is with Ninja Flex prints. You're gonna have some string and they clean up very nice as you saw. Yeah, very nice. I mean, you can kind of like right here. So there's like kind of a little bit of cleanup, but it's not too bad. It always cleans up very well. Yeah, with flush nips, Ninja Flex really easy to clean up cause it's, you can either rip it off or trim it off. And because it's Ninja Flex, you could go in there completely go on the inside of things. Yeah, you can get all the little nooks and crannies of your, the retraction to clean all that up. So that actually makes it very pleasurable cause you can go in there and get heavily, you can still sun right there. Yeah, go in there with like a... Do you really need to? No, not really.  I would trim it, yeah.  It's like that hang-nail thing where you like start pulling in your whole stuff. Oh gosh. Yeah. Okay, cool. So there's lots of them there. Okay, yeah. Sorry. I thought there we have...  I'll probably get all of them that's, they're free for us. And then the semi-translucent white does excellent with glowing, diffusing, at least. Sure. There's only that. All right, moving on to assembly. Okay. Did anyone have any questions on slicing? Does the heat of bed turn off when the print is done? Yes, it does. So I reheat the bed after it's finished because it does take quite a while for me to notice that it has completed. The case takes about, I wanna say about two hours to print just because we are printing at a slower speed. Oh, it's about 50 millimeters a second for that. All right. Oh, it's fine. It's all over the place. Oh, it's fine. And yeah, just reheat your bed to 50, 50C.  It should come off pretty easily. All right. Do you wanna go through the assembly real quick? Yep, assembly, it's pretty easy. You're just, actually it's probably one of the, not super hard just because I know where the positioning should be. So just getting that correct so it doesn't fuse on, you know, day later. Just make sure that you're, you know, using your, putting it up to your, to make sure that it's comfortable. After that, we're just using double stick tape to attach it. You can use hot glue, nitto tape, any of the strong- Oh, that's fine. Yeah, it goes on there just fine. You've done hot glue before? You can do hot glue with this as well. What? Yeah, but this is just double stick tape. A lot of the time I think hot glue won't adhere to the silicone. Didn't it talk? Yeah, well it's not, this isn't silicone. Right. That's why. Okay. But for silicone, no, it wouldn't work. Okay. Yeah. Is it special double stick tape that you use? It's in that green spool or reel? No. It's just kind of like, wide. No brand tape. I don't know if anyone should work. Generic no brand tape. That's what I use. So scotch or whatever. Yeah, yeah. Okay. And then it just sticks on just like so, so you can remove it if you want after Halloween is over. Or as some of the comments were saying, change your costume out, have like spock ears or then have highland ears. So definitely good for theming. Moving on. Yeah, that's it. Yeah, you can pierce it. I just use a tweezer to get down in there. Sure. And you can poke all holes and whatever. You can sew into it if you want to sew things. That'd be neat to put sutures on that if they could look a little crazy. And yeah, it's pretty much it. It's just a glorified Vengeflux case with popsocket compatibility with a creepy, weird ear on it. Yeah. Halloween Vengeflux. It's just like your ear, like your wedding ring or something with it. Oh, funny, funny.  It's super cool. Any note about the ear model? Anything? Yeah, you can just search for ear models on a thing of a wrist. I included in there since this was one that was just given away. Okay. I did increase it by, I think it was like a 110%. I just measured my ear. The original model was a little bit smaller than that. So yeah, that's the only cool thing you can do with that measure to your ear or you could skate 3D scan your ear. We have a tutorial on how to edit the mesh for that. I didn't want to go all that when working on other projects. It's supposed to be like a simple one to get out of the door. People could add hair, you know. I thought about that.  So sort of continue that down. Like have like, you know, I've seen like, it seems just adding like the hair, like the visual hair and follicles. The follicles for that. Like the costume makers like, oh, you can, you can go all out for that. So again, this is what this type of project is for. Those types of special effects makeup, like, sorry, this is, we have one target. That is exactly what that is for. It's weird for me. Yes, put a nose on there. Yeah, that's the other thing too. It's supposed to inspire you to add whatever body part onto there. Yeah, it is a PG or rated G body parts on there. Funny. No, yeah. I love popsocket because it's very cool. Yeah, I'm a fan. I got this one. I wanted to get the, the other popsocket. Of course, I'm a super fan. I got the Mickey one. I'm going to go in the dark one. Yeah, we're just talking about my accessories. All right. Well, let's keep moving along. 20 minutes in. It's good. That's this week's project. Yeah. Pick up some ninja flex, give it a shot. Some good, useful, practical, creepy stuff. Ninja flex, flexible, thousands of uses. All right. What are we prototyping? All right. Who's up? You up? Whatever you want. What you want? Me? I think this is next week, right? I'll give you a second to breathe because you just talked for 20 minutes straight. So I'll talk and then you can share this one off. Show off. I got a Thor hammer. Yeah, you got a Thor hammer. I just got a video. I got myself an RFID reader from the shop. This is from Wiz. It's called the Wiz kit from Smooth Technologies. It's a really easy way of no code needed for this RFID reader. So I was looking at some inspirational project and I saw a couple of DIY Disney magic band readers. If you're not familiar, these magic bands have NFC slash RFID ships inside them. You use this in order to get access to the Disney parks. You kind of bring it up to this dome that shaped like a Mickey ear and it glows really nice. I'll show it. It looks so cool. Yeah, I'm showing it. I have here a demo of it working and basically it gives you a relay and you can also trigger like five volts. So it's basically a glorified button for triggering neopixels and sound effects. So on the Feather RP2040 running circuit Python, we have some really easy demo code that's just looking for the button pin and when the button is pressed or in this case when the RFID has triggered, it'll play an LED neopixel animation and a wave audio file. So we have a nice amplifier and I2S amps. You have some high quality audio coming out of the speaker and then you can use the RFID module from Smith Technologies allows you to do up to 10. You can program up to 10 different NFC slash RFID devices whether they're the magic band. It also comes with some key chains and that. So this is just the prototype here. It's just I got the code running over the weekend and then we 3D printed a little case for it.  So you got your magic band. This is the animation. So there's a strip of neopilsels inside the 3D printed box and then the RFID reader module and Feather are all down here along with the amp. So we have a couple different magic bands and right now it's doing random choice so it's just kind of randomizing the sound effect. This is a project that I got inspired by. There's a bunch of different ones like on Etsy. I saw Matt Richardson from Raspberry Pi. He's also working on one very similar but all of those use the Raspberry Pi, the whole full-blown Pi and those are hard to get right now. And it's overkill too. It's a little bit overkill for what we're doing so we found out a really easy way to do it with just a Feather RFID2040 and the WizKit RFID module. So that will be like two weeks from now. I'm starting to work on the learn guide and it is really easy to work with the WizKit RFID. So if you ever have anything that you want to trigger a relay or a five-note signal, definitely check out the RFID WizKit from SmoothSignology, it's in stock right now. And let's probably pull it up here. Just type in WizKit and there it is. It's meant for like escape rooms, haunted, kind of decor, that sort of haunted decor. I'm glad you brought that up because it has a relay on it for doing door so it can unlock a door. Yeah, it's a great kit. This is what it comes with, a bunch of NFC RFID stickers and tags. Comes with the 12-volt power supplier. And then on board it has like a button for training. And again, there's no real code that you need to do. It just works out of the box. And then that, this additional button here or cable can be wired up as if it was a button so you can use it in your circuit Python project like I did to trigger NeoPixels. Yeah, it's basically just a button. So if you are looking for something to trigger with NFC or RFID, check this thing out. It's really nice, instant stock. It's a little pricey because it comes with everything and it just kind of does kind of one thing really well. There's some extra pins on the side and there's breakout pins. So if you really want to go in there and like do some I squared C code or something, you could still do that, but I didn't have to because like it just works as a button and we have a learn guide as well. And the folks are really responsive. I was able to get a PCB DXF file from the folks because it wasn't available. So I was able to get that. So I'll be sure to share that with folks if they're okay with it. But yeah, that's what I'm prototyping. A Mickey magic band, Disney magic band reader. They were super popular all over Etsy during the pandemic. Yeah, I think that's when the project came out. There was like, when I first saw it was a Christmas ornament. So I don't know how they got it compact down or maybe it was like the wiring was going through the tree or something like that, but yeah, that's a really cool way to, and again, it's RFID. So like the little ring project we've made like any of those anything you can trade anything that's NFC RFID will can be used here to trigger the thing. Yeah, so we'll definitely show that in the video using different, not just the band, but the ring and like the card Liz mentions that she's gonna try to use her subway card on it. So yeah, you can train, yeah, give that a shot. I just realized the battery is dead on this. I was gonna, as a suggestion show, yeah that you can do like color changes on there. If you bring it up to that, it still works because that's the way NFC works. Yep, exactly. It's pretty cool. But yeah, you can have this like do different color animations and whatnot. So that would be cool if somebody could add that into the code as well. Like when it gets red, randomly does like a different color animation. Yeah. We're not gonna do that. Yeah, Matt Richardson's post, I thought it was really cool that he's able to distinguish between the bands. So like you'll get a red glowing LED if your band isn't set up for the day of the Disney park. Something weird like that. There's something more involved where you're kind of getting the data back from the band. What are you trying to do? Just change the color just to show what it looks like. But the battery's dead. And there's an update for it. So it doesn't want to do anything. It doesn't matter, you can use whatever you want. It's fine. Cool? Cool, yeah. Give us two weeks and we're working on the line. Yep, so two weeks. And the next prototype is this green Thor hammer. Yeah. It's a soil sensor, whipper snapper showing the Stemma soil sensor. Add on to that. And on the inside, the kind of my little lid type that we have on here, it's modeled after, I think it's like our bread lid, the way that it suction's in that way. Got a QDPI, hold on. We got a QDPI 32S2 on here. We're using the passive hub on here to connect a light sensor. And on the back here, the SD30. So we're, SD30, sorry. Some sensor on. So high quality, true, CO2. CO2, humidity, temperature. And then the light sensor on here. The passive hub on here, which I'm probably gonna switch it out for the other hub that is launching later today, I hope. Yeah, the multiplexer one. Yeah, so I can have two of the soil sensors on there. There's a 6,600 milliamp battery on there. That's a massive battery, this is the biggest battery we carry in the storm. But that's why it's so honking, chonking. There is some deep sleep work going on there, so it will last longer than that. But as it goes right now, it'll last about three days, I wanna say. Yeah, case modeled after some like the industrial farming. Yeah, it's meant for like a farm, yeah. This would be like a all in one sensor node, soil sensor node that you stick into the ground of your farm, and it's supposed to be huge. Exactly. So monitoring everything with that. And if you switch over to a flute, whip snapper. Yeah, so you have this running the whip snapper firmware. Yes. And you're using Adafruit IO to log and capture data. So you got yourself, not a dashboard, but in the devices page, this is a new feature to whip snapper. Hope you guys are checking it out. It's really easy to set up a sensor. So if you were, just got your QT Pi set up, click new components, and you'll see all the lovely new I-Squared-C components. Yeah, so this is the soil sensor? This is soil sensor than the SCD-30. This one here? And then the TSL is the light sensor. Oh, you have the light sensor as well. Yeah. TSL-35. I need to add the LC-7, the battery gates. So I know when it's gonna die, I'm gonna have actions telling me, oh, the battery's at 10%, switch it out. All right, let me hit X. So I'm gonna have to. So I'm gonna show you what you actually have connected. So you're pulling in the CO2 PPM from the SCD-30. Yep. Community sensor from the SCD-30. Temperature sensor from the SCD-30. Yeah, so we have two, we have the SCD-30 temperature sensor and then the STEMA soil temperature sensor. It has its own temperature sensor. Why is there two? Actually, if you go to the, this isn't the, this guy here, if you go to the devices and go down to soil sensor. Let's get all the devices we've just been playing with. Woo-hoo. So that's the case. There you go. Did you do some serious testing? Yeah, so here, you can see why we have two different sensor, or temperature sensors on there. But they're different, look at the readings. Yeah, because when this is inside the case, it's gonna be hotter.  And I don't want that, I wanna make sure it's a little bit more accurate to what the plant is actually getting. So that's why I'm using the STEMA soil sensor temperature. Let me see, there's a difference on it. It's actually cooler, yeah, the soil's cooler. Cool, and as an update, just mentioned Fahrenheit was recently added. So you can do Fahrenheit readings. If you go to- Do I see Imperial users? Did my battery die? Oh no, if you go to the cog wheel on the SCD 30. Any of them? Yeah, any of them actually. You can see here, enable C. So you can click on that, and you can have it telling you your temperature in C and in F. Which is something I go to every one minute, just so it immediately updates. And plan, there you go. This is probably what I should be doing so I can start associating, oh, 31 equals 88. Yeah, that's good, yeah. Start learning Celsius. Because it just doesn't work.  But for plants, I haven't had really to worry about the temperature, because a lot of the plants I've been growing for the past 20 years have all been carnivorous plants. They love hot. They want hot, the- Humid. Hot, humid, swamp. Hot, humid, and frozen underwater. So I didn't ever have to worry about the temperature. Oh my God, is it too cold? It doesn't snow here, so it doesn't matter. But it can get down to 20 degrees, negative zero, as I've seen some pictures were frozen under the lake and stuff. So it's like, okay, they're pretty hardy, but not with aeroids. Okay, so aeroids. They're so picky. No, it can't get below 70. Can't get below 70. The humidity can't get below 50. They're so picky. So I have to make sure that all of the parameters are just perfect for it. I even bought a humidifier to stick outside, because I don't know, the past couple of weeks, it went from like 80, 60 down all the way down to 30. So it's like, oh my God, they are not happy and I could see it in the leaves. So definitely gonna help in terms of alerting me when I need to change things, bring things inside, have the blanket over them so they stay nice and warm. So this definitely helps out tremendously. So any other kind of features or things you wanna work on this or is this ready? I need to add the battery gauge. So the way that this little holder is on there, this is just hanging, because this is not the updated one. So I don't wanna stick it in there. How many of, how many stemma things do you have? Oh, it's gonna be one more. So we got one, two, three. Oh, okay. It's not that many. It just looks like it's way more. Yeah, because the QDP. Any soldering or is this all plug and play? So the only soldering so far has been for this USB-C. Oh, it can power. Yeah, so you can kind of see how I'm, I don't wanna use the BFF just because it'll increase. Oh, mind. It adds more power. 20 millimeters, yeah. It adds like, yeah. No, any time I think it's gonna be 20 millimeters, it ends up being 40 millimeters. So I measured it at 10, that's why I said 20. Okay, you already doubled it. Like I thought this thing would be because things you don't think about. This tall, it's like, oh my God, it's like 20 millimeters on its own.  You don't wanna crush this all the way down. Like even the bottom of like the case, if I take this back apart. This is what we travel with every day, clearances. I have like these razor risers so that the battery isn't like, you know, on the screws and the screws are counter sunk in and then these wires to make sure that these don't get pinched. So I have like this, you know, one millimeter rod. There's always so much design stuff inside the case where you don't notice or see any of that. So that's always what takes the most amount of time of figuring out, oh, how can I optimize it? Pinching wires, yeah, exactly. And then like, I think I need to print this out with the flooring for the battery. I think I need to print it out, like with no top and bottom so that the air can actually help get through here. Before I added these ventilation holes, it was reading like the, the SCD. It was getting hot in there. Oh, like 15 degrees hotter, which, you know, I don't want it reflowing. Exactly. So yep, we're gonna another. All right, that'll be next week's project. Another Whipper snapper, a lot of soil sensing. So sensing and the battery gauges and what I'm gonna highlight on that. That's a lot of good sensors all combined together. Yeah. So yep, Thor hammer. So what? Next week. Next week. Ready for that. All right. I need this immediately. Now temperatures are dropping. All right. Dropping. That's what we, oh, prototype. We're getting, we're good. We're, we're working on the documenting. Pitch's got a little bit more updates. Yep. I'm gonna start, I'm just gonna keep chipping away at that. Getting photos. All right, this is a quick shop talk. Bop, bop, bop, bop. So last week we did some cool noodling with the noodles, the LED noodles, the made of fruit and or I think it was Thursday or Friday, came up with a layer by layer on how to design your own noodle shapes. The last noodle I have is the 130 millimeter long noodles. They're the shorter versions. So if you're, what can I do with it? So I figured I'd do a tutorial on how to design a little holder. In this case, it's a little R shape. So I did some letters, we did a heart as well and the letter Z or the letter N, however you look at it. So just kind of walking through the different steps on how to do it in Fusion 360 and thinking about designing it for printing without any supports and very minimal print. So this takes about eight to 10 minutes to print, which is really, really fast. And yeah, same setup.  Check out the layer by layer. It's about 20 minutes long, but it really walks you through, you know, how to actually sketch out something that can be parametric, but also, I don't know, parametric. I was doing good and then I just kind of fell. So check it out if you are looking to design your own folders for these LED noodles. I got a nice short, simple recipe to cook the noodles in. So that's somewhat of a shop talk. I think we had some other thing for shop talk or no? Yeah, CAD parts. I always forget every week we add new CAD parts, but because I do it every week it's mundane and I don't have a visual way to show it. So just go to the GitHub. So if you are looking for CAD parts from Adafruit, you can always submit part requests through the Issues tab this week. I have a bunch here, so here are all the commits this week. We added the Metro M4, classic, very, very nice board. We added the MCP9808 Stemma breakout sensor. We added the Neo Slider Stemma breakout. TSC200, it's the I squared C resistive touch controller. We added the LiPo BFF charger. That's for the PewDiePie. It's a really nice one if you really want to do it. I used it in the noodle lantern project. That's why I modeled it. We also have the 24LC32 I squared C EEPROM. We added the Stemma hub. And that's, I think that's all for this week. It spanned off, I think I missed last week, so that's why I have a little bit more. But yeah, check it out. We're keeping track of this and we're trying to close out all the part requests. My version of PRs, part request, not whatever the pull request is called. So shout out to everybody for submitting your part requests and checking it out, yeah. So that's a, I think this week's shop talk. Cat parts, labor layers, that's about it. What do we got, what do you want? Roy is asking, are there any good free mask STLs for the holidays? Oh yeah, there's a bunch. Check out on the blog, you guys. I just posted the link to the search results on the blog. There's a bunch of masks. Oh, there it's all. Masks for days, helmets, masks, horns. All free, well, a lot of them are free. Yeah, a lot of them are free. Daft Punk, like just searching through. Dinosaurs, skulls. Articulating ones, movable jaws, like. There's so many. The one from last week, the Deku. Deku from the Legend of Zelda. Still got it, hanging around. There's so many. I keep a lot of the masks. Daft Punk is a really good line. Mandalorian, Daft Punk helmet right there. We've designed it and added electronics to it. Just go to both Daft Punk helmets. Anytime you're looking. Manuel and Thomas. Yeah, if you're looking for any mask, any three printing stuff, every single Thursday is 3D Thursday on the blog, blog.bedeaford.com. That is where I post every hour. Black Panther, I'm just looking over here. Oh my God, yeah, there's so many. Is it Doom Guy? Dr. Doom. Dr. Doom. Batman. We haven't done Iron Man. Wasp. Wasp helmet, yeah, that's right. Model the Wasp. Just search the blog. That is where I post it. Helmets for days. Every hour. You want helmets? We got helmets. From 1 a.m. til 10 p.m. every, all day. Good shop talk segment. How many helmets do you have?  Oh, the Star Wars mask. I forgot about that one. Yeah, these are all ones that, like there's proof that it's been printed, that it works. Either from us making a time-lapse video from it or from the, you know, the designer. Photos that didn't happen. Yeah, exactly. It's fun. Like masks once, like Lego. There's so many. Anytime you're looking for any of that, any project-wise type of things, just search the blog because that is basically our encyclopedia of all of the knowledge that we need for, you know, for our work and for, you know, the community. So it's all there. Good stuff. All right, we're ready to community make. Every week we do a time-lapse of a fun model from the community. This week it's this jumping ghost. Super popular one that's gonna make in the rounds right now is the ghost with the little legs, right? That pop up and hide. This one's from Tomo Designs. It's a very nice printed place. There's the two pieces. Two pieces. Two pieces that you put together. It's got this little spring mechanism that's built into the legs. So that makes the ghost jump. So it adds a little bit of movement, a little bit of mechanical funness to an otherwise kind of boring print, but it's very fun. They hit with the kids. So I am lots of backflipping fun. Boom. Yeah, glow-in-the-dark filament. Yes. Very, very fun to work with the staff. I didn't bring the UV light, of course. No, I did not either, but it doesn't matter because we're in the light. So what, did you glue them together? It snaps right in. Snaps fits. Yep. I'm a fan. That's it. Two pieces, snaps in. Tomo Design. It's on cold 3D. I have a link already here. Go ahead and drop that link to the score. It's free. It says it's a free, yeah, it's free. Tomo Design has a bunch of great designs as well. So I'm going to make that bounce. Yeah, a little batwing. Lots of Halloween ideas here on cold 3D. Really like cold 3D. They curate their design, so it's not like some of the other repo sites. Jumpy ghost. So cool. Very fun. Great for the kids. I was going to say, I like it because the kids like it. That's funny. You actually stole it. I actually stole it from you. It hit it. And then you were like, I need this. I still haven't taken photos. And Declan's like, hee hee hee. And I'm like, well, I guess I need to print another one. So you printed another one. But again, really good. I feel like if you're a way to kind of even make some sort of spring. That's what I was going to do. The shape is just a spiral with a little edge cut there. Excellent. And that makes it a great kind of built-in spring. And it's got a lot of mechanical strength. Even though it's PLA and brittle, it's actually pretty good. No, it's very nice. I could probably do this all day. And Roy says, three-year-old would love this. Yes, I tell you from experience, three-year-olds absolutely love this. It's a great design. No supports. The hands are all up. It's a good lesson in geometry for printing. It's all great. Yeah, no supports needed on the inside. You can't even see the seam here for the snap. Oh yeah. It's really good. Would you be able to snap this off? I don't think so. Maybe with a spudger, but not with my hand. Yeah. Neat. Yeah, cool. All right, got a couple other of community makes. Yeah, before we close out the show, let's take a look at the list. These are some makes that were sent to us of some of our various projects. Here is the first one. This was a make posted up by Prusa.com. Prusa user, Cesar14n, posted up their make of the ESP32 S2 Feather TFT Stemlet case. So this was designed by PageWarp, and they printed it out. Looks like they're going to add some electronics to it. The Feather TFT, like, does that look different? No, it's about the same, right? Oh yeah. It's just like the updates to it or anything. The bed leveling is better on theirs. Oh really? You can really see how far away it is online. Oh, I see. See the individual airlines. That's funny. All right, cool. So if you got yourself a Feather ESP32, that's not what it is. It's the filament. It's the, what is it? The dual tone. Yeah. That's why it looks like that. Yeah, it looks a little bit more separated. No comment, but always great to see a photo of it. So, cool. Hope they get their Feather. All right, next up we have another one. This was posted up on Thingiverse. This is a remix of the heat set rig thing. It's a tool that we designed for doing really nice heat set inserts. So, Thingiverse user Elothin posted up their remix. They added a bigger counterweight because it uses a counterweight so they designed their own enclosure for the counterweight, whatever they're using. It says, I had a heavier soldering iron so I needed a bit more space for the counterweights. I made a plastic press fit lid is included. So, that's very nice, you know, remix to the project. Like, I figure people would be doing that. So, very nice. Okay, next up we have another Thingiverse posting. Got a pie girl. This is of the pie girl. It's a remix for the spark. Is it going to the screen? It is now. I wasn't before, so I apologize. But I'm trying to run through it. So, this is a remix posted up by Kopi. Kopi posted this up on Thingiverse. It's a remix of the pie girl case. That's that handheld Raspberry Pi based handheld Gameboy slash girl game version. It's been remixed to work with the Sparkfun LiPo charger booster. So, they updated the standoff so that it fits the Sparkfun thing. And it's printed in red so it matches really well. Very cool. And they just updated the case there. So, very nice. They said, this is the remix of the rear portion of the pie girl. It supports the Sparkfun LiPo charger. Sweet. Cool. Oh, given the supply issues today, I could not get a hold of the power boost. But they had a Sparkfun lane around. That's excellent. Glad you're able to get that modeled up. Maybe some calipers. I don't know if these... Anyway. I was like, can you get 3D models of Sparkfun boards? Maybe. Maybe you can. I don't know. That's not the point. You've shown people how to do a quick test. Yeah, right. All right. And the last one is kind of Holland Weenie. This is another remix. This one's posted up by Panini the Cat. And Panini the Cat made a remix of our D20 and they made it into a D20 handle and play. Remember when we saw someone did this similar? They made it a gavel. Oh, yeah. But this time it's like a different gavel. It's like a little bit different. So it's just comprised of a bunch of D20s. And then the end is like a regular dice. Very, very cute. I want to see that printed. I want to print this. Yeah. Let's read the description. A nice prop for DMing. A D20 gavel and plate has a 1 on one end and a 20 on the other end. So you can easily decide the fate of your party. As requested, a version of the handle made of a D20 and an end cap made for the D6. When this comes out of the printer, the number's going to look a bit sloppy but with some patience. And the nail file should be able to make them look a little bit better. Yeah, all good. Good stuff. And the original project is that talking D20. Oh, look, there's a bunch here. Oh, I like the chain of remixes here. It's like a kit bash. But there's like, you know, where did it dry from? Thing versus a good job doing that. So just printables. But here it just talks to the user to actually track back. That's because it's so the age of it, you know, you can go way more. Yeah, this thing is from 2015. All the way back to 2012. Yeah. For our stuff anyway. Yeah, 2013. They were just stuffing uploaded. They were afraid to account before us. For sure. Yeah, some laser cut stuff. Before 3D printing, it was laser cut stuff. And that concludes this week's community makes. Thank you everybody so much for submitting your makes. Just posting it up on the thing. It's enough for me to find it because I get notified. And that's easy for me because it gets sent to me instead of having to find it. So I appreciate folks doing that. Takes a little bit. All right, that is going to do it for the show. We'll close it out. If anyone has any last moment comments, questions, go ahead and drop them in the Discord. We're hanging out in the Discord chat room. Quickly on the YouTube one. NightCreePaul is asking, wants to make a solo charge. ESP32 case for Laura Relays. But 3D printing might not be weather-resistant. So I'll probably try either. We've got a lot of weather cases. Pet G. Maybe try Pet G or Nylon, see if that'll. Oh, I was thinking to purchase a weatherproof case. Yeah, so that's actually what I'm going to do for the pool temperature project. Yeah. I'm just going to get one of the weatherproof cases that we have. I am using, where's that small one? We have what they called, this one. Coolanty. It's a little bit bigger than that one. It might be in a category. Yeah. Yeah, enclosures. And this has the weather seal. I think it's the large one. One of those, yeah. I'm using one of those. You've got a really large one. This is too big. This is a pie, so this is probably too big. Yeah, probably the smaller one. All right, smaller one is right here. Yeah, just search for enclosure or weatherproof. There's an UNO for scale, but not for scale. That's actually a really nice one. Yeah, it's what I'm using. And it's got the gasket in there. It's all injection molded and see through, so you can see it. You can edit it too. You can drill holes where you need to drill not all the holes. It's devious plastic, I believe. There's also a handy data sheet. It even has a window, yes. So you can actually see the data sheet. I love me a good data sheet. Oh, yes. Perfect. That's so good. I'll be making all the, obviously, the framing, so you can attach all the boards to that. Well, the support for the DS-1B for the temperature sensor, that's being added to Whippersnapper. Oh, it even has dimensions here on the case. Hey. That's actually really cool. Brilliant. I didn't know that. That's super cool. Learn something every day. All right, folks. Any jokes, anything nobody's been against? That's all been very good. It was well-behaved. I really appreciate the good tips and insights. Aw, thank you for your comments, Andy. I'm glad you think it was a great challenge. I'm stumbling here. I know. I didn't even post any of the links for any of the. Every time it's my turn, I never post any links. Because I'm busy talking and showing the thing. Yeah, I'm busy driving. All right. So, yeah, let's close out the show. We have the shows later tonight. Hosted this week by Lamar and Phil, Mr. and Mrs. Ledyada. We invite you to come on tonight at 7.30 PM. You can join in by hitting up the Discord chat room. We'll throw a link in there. Everything's welcome. Arts, crafts, weird. It doesn't have to be practical. It could be fun. But it could also be practical, too. Yeah. Weirdly practical. And then Ask an Engineer is tonight at 8 PM Eastern Time. New products, Ion and PI, some more segments like Top Secret and that sort of thing. That's what reminds me to go to www.agric.com-new and refresh until the show starts. I want this demo multiplex. Stay tuned for 10% off coupon code. You'll get that tonight on Ask an Engineer, only Ask an Engineer. Tomorrow is John Park's workshop. Starts at 4 PM Eastern Time. Tune into John to find out what he's working on. And then Fridays is the deep dive live stream with Tim Fomey Guy. It's on Fridays 2 PM Pacific or 5 PM Eastern. And then on Sundays, we have a live stream from Lady Aida herself from the desk of Lady Aida. On Mondays, we have the Circuit Python meeting that happens live in the Discord chat room. You can be a part of that if you'd like. It's Monday 2 PM Eastern Time. Or if there's a holiday on a Monday, it'll be on Tuesday, like this week, it was on Tuesday, so actually yesterday. You can always check in the archive or podcasts. We have another holiday on Monday, don't we? Next Monday? Kid has no school on Monday, so what's going on on Monday? Is it just teacher planning day? Yeah, we don't know. We have like weird holidays here in Florida. We have like hoedown day and- Rodeo day. Gator day. I'm just kidding, folks. We have rodeo day. I love you here. I can make jokes about Florida if I lie in there. No, we have rodeo day. Literally from Florida. Florida. All right, let's keep going. Tuesdays, it's John. John Park's, I'm proud of the figure of the week. It's every 4 PM Eastern Time or 1 PM Pacific. You can get up to 50% off. Insanity. Insanity. John has lovely thumbnails every week, so check him out just for the thumbnails. And then we do the show every Wednesday, 11 AM Eastern. It's gonna do it for us. Good luck, everybody, with all of your creative endeavors. Hello? Yeah, we gotta, he's got a phone call. Until next week, remember to make a great day. We'll see you guys next week. Bye. The dog.


Our proposed rotation-dense feature Pyramid Networks, RDFPN, is a novel ship detection framework designed to address the limitations of existing methods. It uses dense connections between layers to enhance feature propagation and encourage feature reuse, while also incorporating a rotation anchor strategy to reduce the redundant detection region and improve recall. Experimental results demonstrate that RDFPN achieves superior performance compared to other state-of-the-art methods. This article was authored by Shui Yong, Hao Sun, Kun Fu, and others.


I'm Emily Tempelwood. I'm a wikipedia from Chicago, Illinois. I'm the vice president of wikimedia DC I've been editing wikipedia since I was 12. My favorite band was U2, so I wrote a lot about like their music Which really pleased my dad who's like a huge classic rock fan. I did a lot of like stub sorting And a lot of anti-vandalism work. I became an admin when I was 13 Um, so I was able to be really productive on the administrative side of things because it didn't require access to sources it didn't require, you know knowledge of any deep subject it just required knowledge of wikipedia policy which Was something that I could pick up at that age. My baby is wikiproject women scientists I am so proud of what we've created there We had like 14 or 1500 articles on women scientists Out of what we estimated was 3000 and what we now estimate is more like four or five thousand that needed to be created And in 18 months we got up to More than like 2,500 women scientists. I started as a pilot series of workshops focusing on women scientists That tested some hypotheses we had about editor retention and what came out of that was a kit to do the same thing In the most successful way at any institution So i'm kind of running with that and creating that and inspiring people to teach others to focus And run workshops on things that matter to them. We don't know until we engage more women in editing wikipedia what we're missing because My god, someone might be an expert on You know female writers from nicaragua and there's like one woman who's the expert scholar on that We don't know what we're missing What we're losing with all of these perspectives. I can guess I can conjecture Because we were missing, you know a thousand women scientists 18 months ago and now we have them But what's the next women scientist going to be? You know, what's the next massive Content gap we're going to find because we engaged, you know, someone who wasn't engaged before
