Who apologizes more? Japanese or Canadians? Japanese, Japanese, Japanese. But Canadians mean it more when they say it. Here's another episode of Culture Table where we have the funny conversations you never thought you'd get to have, but that you need to have. This episode is all about Japan. So we're talking to stand-up comedian Fumi Abe and filmmaker Ryosuke to talk about Japanese culture. This one gets deep as we touch on the controversial history, the complexities of Japanese culture, and robots. We have arrived at Devel, which is sort of the most well-known Japanese western eastern brunch spot in all of this area. Fumi, can you please tell us what are we looking at? I want to be honest with you. Okay, so some of this stuff, I'm very familiar with. Some of this stuff is a Devel original, okay?  I've never seen anything like that. Uni Udon spaghetti. I've never actually had that before because Uni is very expensive. It's kind of like the same. It is. You guys know the history? Yeah, so Japanese curry actually came over when the Brits came over. So, you know, British colonized everybody that had India, and then they brought their ships from India into Japan. They're like, yo, we have curry, we have spices, let's bring it in. Is this during the last samurai times? It is during the last samurai times, essentially. Do you think Japanese, like, you know, not to take this discussion to that level already, but this is culture table.  Because the British got really help for that. Like Amsterdam, right? Yeah. Isn't that Dutch? Yeah, yeah, yeah.  I don't know, I'm just saying. I mean, good. That's how Japanese people study western culture for hundreds and hundreds of years. Japan was a very isolated country for about 300 years.  They probably read from the Dutch, you know.  So, Omurice is a very delicious, it's my childhood food. Fried rice mixed with ketchup. You can put sausage in it. You can put peas, you can put whatever you want. And then layer it on with a thin slice of egg, well cooked, thick enough, not too thick, not too thin, layered with a tomato sauce and ketchup. And it's just comfort food. And Fumi, you said this is your favorite dish. This is my favorite dish. But this is also the favorite dish of like a 10 year old. It's like an embarrassing thing to admit. But I love it. Comfort food, right? Comfort food? Yeah, like mom used to make it for me and stuff. What's your favorite Japanese dish? Favorite Japanese dish.  Toro?  But you know, honestly, Japanese curry is my to-go too. Yeah, I mean, so I guess like sometime after the war, you know, even though all these crazy things happen, like Japan really accepted Western culture and we started eating bread and all this stuff. And so this is just like a Japanese take on European food. You want the pizza feeling without having to toss your own dough. I mean, this is probably very offensive to town people, but I love it. It's very good. So these, I was told that these milk toasts, these are, this is like a Japanese bread. It's cooked in a Japanese toaster. Yo, that is good. Oh, delicious. Very delicious. It has that very sweet, savory base to it and a little touch of sweet. That's all you need in Japanese curry. That looks like a super... Let's see, like, does that taste European? I don't know, you know. Okay, a good omurice, it's got, you know, have you guys seen Ratatouille? You know when that guy eats that Ratatouille, he has a flashback. When I eat this, I need to have a flashback of my mom hitting me. And that's when I know that it's good.  The sauce is not too thick. It's very delicious. It has that sweet touch. The meat is very soft. Yo, we gotta talk about the westernization in Japan in a way Japanese culture is funny because it's like the most beloved Asian subgroup, right? In a lot of ways globally. With the anime, cosplay, culture, sushi, a lot of like soft power. Right, and then simultaneously, I guess due to the last, history of the last 60 years or 70 years, in a way also the most hated. Yep. Right? Like we always said it's the most famous and infamous obviously depending on which generation you're talking to. Right, right. I think for me I came from a very unique perspective. I think, you know, from a Japanese person raised overseas, right? It allowed me to really see also how Japanese people think of their own history culture too. A lot of Japanese people are very, wouldn't say oblivious, but aren't really told the full truth about like, you know, Japanese. They try not to focus on it. They focus on the war. They try not to. Well, they actively kind of try to wipe it from the history. Yeah, exactly. It's something they're not really wanting to be invested in. They're not something you would remember. I think Japan, the way, the reason why Japan culture is the way it is today is because of the whole post-war scene.  Atrocities. Yeah, exactly. The military took over. They, you know... Atrocities. Atrocities, I meant. Terrible atrocities. Yeah, so Japan had this really defeated mentality after the war. And I think they just wanted to rebuild themselves. Japanese people... They were just like, let's just go a different direction. Yeah, they did. This isn't working. They're just like, war isn't good. Let's try something else. And so I think they had this... The Japanese people have always been hardworking. They've always had this whole very modernist society where they're very focused on looking after each other. And I think from there, they wanted to form their own unique culture. We're about to wrap up the history section with this. You guys want to formally issue an apology for what went down 60 years ago. Like, yeah, 67. This is the internet, guys. Not me. I don't care. I mean, I know... Japanese people did a lot of messed up things.  Amen. You guys heard it here. All the smoke. We sealed it. We're good. Let's talk about the food. But you know what it was? The internet wasn't going to let me get away with it. So I had to do it. I think that's how it really got into kind of learning about East Asian history, colonial history. That's something I tell you to college. I think it's important to really know what's happened in the past to really kind of move on and kind of get the facts right to be able to for us to learn from it. You're saying you can't move past it unless we talk about it. That's why I brought it up so early. Yes, dude. That's why I don't mind talking about it, man. It's important to come from different sides to think about it rather than coming from one side section, you know, and I think that's... It's important to have an open dialogue, an honest dialogue, a conversation to really know what's happening. You see everyone's side of it and kind of find a way to really get the full picture of kind of just everything. What do people go? There's no moving past that. What happened? Well, then you just offer them more sushi and more Japanese food. Hey, more mental. I'll tell you this. There you go. I wasn't going to ever... I almost said I forgive you guys after eating this. We have one more spot to go to after that. We are actually going to Izakaya, which is funny because here we're at a Japanese brunch spot, but then we're going to go to a Japanese Izakaya, which is more like a bar, which is more like a bar, to a Japanese Izakaya, which is more like a bar. You know what's funny? We have the heavy talk at the light brunch spot. But once we get over to the Izakaya, it's going to be like Sailor Moon. Sailor Moon.  We've been so deprived of this after leaving Chiba, he's like, oh my God. Yo, that's why I had to give you the natto cheese. Bro. How do I say, how do I ask him if that's good or not? Uishii desu ka? Uishii desu ka? Mama. Mama. Mama. I love it. I love it. Pre-buyer. I love it. You're just the most aesthetic, but I don't know if that one's going to taste good. Mmm. We all got to eat the pizza one. David, you are wrong. It's delicious. So you're saying it's only mama, but she took like nine bites. No, it's actually pretty good. It's really pretty good. Okay. I take a bite. It's very good. Natto toast. No sauce. Whoa. Oh, man. I got to have a bite of that. I'm in the sauce. I'm in the sauce, guys. It got me. I'm in the sauce. I'm in the sauce, guys. It got me. Defend natto? Are you with natto, or are you like, ah, it's not my favorite? Actually, natto isn't really a big thing in Osaka. Oh, it's not? It's not. It's not. It's a very Tokyo thing. It's a very Tokyo thing. What do you guys eat instead? We eat a lot of other stuff. A lot of street food. A lot of, like, you mean more convention? For breakfast? More conventionally delicious things?  It's a common breakfast in like Tokyo, in other areas. Every time I go to Japan, we never eat this. Oh, my gosh. No mom hates it. She refuses to eat natto. What are you possibly eating? All right, moving on with this Japanese episode of Culture Table, we are going to our second spot, Isekai Jiraku. Kyoto Macha IPA. So this is a macha IPA? It is. It is produced from the producer with macha. Take a look at that color. Which, what are you more excited about? The melon or the macha IPA? How familiar are you guys with this Isekai food on a scale of one to five? Um, at least with the classic stuff, you know, like the karaage and the yakitori and stuff like that. That's a given. So what about a one out of five? What about five? Oh, how familiar? Four? I guess? Very familiar. Yeah. That's almost salaried man. Salaried man, you're going to be five. Okay. We're going to talk about loanwords, because a lot of Japanese words are based off words from other cultures, right? It's probably because it didn't exist in our country. So that, we just started out with that. So for example, this one probably online is McDonald's, which is McDonald's. Okay. So what about other Asian words? There is a lot of ancient Chinese influence in Japan. Like a lot of Japanese will eat Mapo tofu. Right. Exactly. The Chinese characters are kanji, right? Kanji, yeah. And then you guys also have two more alphabets, what, Hirakana and Katakana. Which is phonetic. So Katakana would be the ones you would use to describe Westernized words for a long time. Kanji was only used for men and women used to. Really? Super patriarchal. Super patriarchal. Well, that will be topic number two, but we got to get past it. I think it's like an education level thing. Like the educated, the scholars use the Chinese characters. Right. Because it's very hard to learn a new picture for a new word, right? Yes. So old school Japanese literature is all Chinese characters. You guys have two sets of alphabets and Chinese kanji. That's a lot of stuff to learn. Chinese bridges. Oh my gosh. This is the thing, like there's a lot of younger Japanese people. They don't know how to write all the characters because it's really hard. But that's like a legit problem. Japanese people in Japan. Everybody's going to go for the thing that caught their eye the most. This is a special one. I have the pork belly, the abu, abai. I'm going to go for the yakitori. Then I'll go for the alcoholic ramen. Yo, that's very Japanese. Fumi apologized for taking the Katakana choice. Who apologizes more Japanese than Japanese? Japanese. Japanese. But Canadians mean it more when they say it. Oh! All right, guys.  The soup is, it's a little spicy, a little punch, and it's very really well flavored. Yeah? Yeah. I taste the alcohol in it. The jalapeno too? Oh man. This momo skewer, chicken thigh skewers are like top 10 for me. I like that. I love eating chicken thigh skewers. Chicken wings?  It's fire. You want to try some of this broth? Yeah, I'll try some of this broth here. I've never seen avocado on the ramen, but this looks fire. Oh, that's just sweet enough. That's beautiful right there. Because I've had some friends who have worked in Japan or visited Japan and spent some time there who were either Japanese-American or non-Japanese. And there were females, and they felt like obviously the patriarchy level structurally is still really, really high in Japan. I mean, I think to be honest, Japan is still pretty far behind in terms of rights between women and men. Women still don't get from maternity leave. That's why Japan has a really low birth rate, is because a lot of women don't want to take time off because they're not treated well in the company and they don't get that same opportunity. They're not getting the Google package. Exactly. They don't get the same chance. That's why Japanese people are just like, we're not being born anymore. Yes, but you know what the other thing is, a lot of it has to do with when we grow up, my mom didn't work growing up, so we grow up seeing women not working and just serving their husbands. And then we just eventually assume that that's what they're supposed to do. So there's also like a systematic thing. You guys are looking at this system, right, that obviously you guys are educated in the west, Western values, ideals. How do you balance that with just like, man, I just want to lead Japan, Japan, and that side of it. I don't want to touch it and be like the one guy who became westernized and was like, you guys need a change versus being like, dang, maybe I could. Like, I don't know if I have a responsibility to address this or dismantle this from the inside. I think, you know, leading by example is good, you know, like, if you were a CEO or like if you're in a position of influence, like you guys are, and like talking about this stuff, like showcasing with women, like just things like that, like talking about it openly, I think helps the younger Japanese people like see things differently. I think addressing the problem, I think that's the number one for the men of Japanese people. They like the boy. They don't like to face head on about the problem. They don't like being critical. There's a lot of conventional people in Japan who like sticking into old ways. And I think it's people like us who need to kind of educate that who need to attack us and to be like, well, we need to have a more fair and about society, you know? People in Japan don't see that because they are entrenched in that mindset.  In honor of the next topic that we have, I have the tomato skewer. I have the egg to represent the reproduction that's not happening in Japan. I have another actor to eat, a buyer, or a person. The stick. What would you pick? The katsu What's good, ladies? What's good? Hit me up. I just want to give you guys some thoughts, not that you represent Japan, but, you know, right now you do. Keep up on the news, right? As somebody who's very, you know, like understanding of the Japanese culture, but also Western. I mean, Japanese people are very like self-reserved. They're very reserved. There Japanese culture there's this term which is like there, a lot of people who are not very comfortable with socializing. They're not comfortable with me going out and talking to girls. And that's why you have a lot of guys who are still virgins in the 40s who live without having sex in their lives because there's this culture of just not wanting to be, and that's why this idea of like sex dolls is a real thing in Japan because they'd be more comfortable interacting with a video game girl friend where they have more control over getting very advanced. Exactly. I think there needs to be a better weariness.  So you're saying dating the holographic Sailor Moon is not you're going to judge everybody? No, I'm not judging. But at this rate we're not going to have a population anymore if this keeps going. And Japan is not a country of immigrants. It's a very low-tolerant immigration problem. You're saying robots ain't human? I'm trying to think. I think the culture allows you to be kind of a hikikomori like you said earlier like a lonely person because you can just buy these experiences. You can rent a girlfriend. There are like prostitution things available if you seek that. There are these like manga cafes that are open 24 hours if you just want to make yourself and read a ton of one piece. Live in a fantasy world. You can do this stuff. So it's almost like why even try when you can have all this stuff to yourself. It's like so it's easily accessible.  The reproduction thing I know that it's somehow like somewhat related to like the women working thing. So like more females are working and they don't want to have kids because they want to focus on their career. So I think that's a good thing. You know people in California, Brazil. Okay. We're okay. So come hop on us. Come hop on our D's. Like a weird mix of like throwback and progressiveness and like futuristic. I mean it's interesting because like when I think of a futuristic city I don't even think of Tokyo. I always think of like Shanghai because I think it just looks like a newer city. No. You know what it is you know what it was for about 20 years Tokyo was the future but then countries that got built up after Japan are you going to have a city to have New York look like the future 80 years ago.  Yeah. It's an interesting mix in Japan where they're like relationship with technology is probably futuristic and like beyond everybody else but then there's certain things. I always said when I went to Tokyo that it reminded me of the future in 1990. Yeah. Because they're still using they still use money there. Like some old school things like credit cards are like kind of difficult to use yes. What you know what I mean like is there some sense that it had ultra advanced infrastructure ahead of the rest of the world like 10 to 15 years and they kind of froze it 100% yeah. Yeah. I think Japan Japan know definitely it had its peak in the 80s and 90s where it had this massive economic boom powered by the automobile industry. No I think car manufacturer really helped progress economy. These cars don't break down exactly. And then I think that helped really fuel the advance of technology and I think research in that are the ones who are really advanced and who are really progressing and investing in that technology. I think they're hungry. I think they're hungry. They're hungry for it. Japan's like already eaten. So it's like just picking at dessert dessert being like the arts or something like that. Rui Hachimura is always like I think he felt really torn because now he's the symbol of Japanese pride in the NBA. He's as big strong you know half Japanese half black guys dunking on everybody dropping 30 in a game but then he's also like man people really said a lot of mean stuff to me growing up. I think it's cool that we're so that like mixed kids in Japan have a role model and also other Japanese kids have a reference point like oh that guy doesn't look like me but I guess he's Japanese so that's cool. Just have more open people mind. So now kids are like I'm hoping that kids are going to be like a little bit less mean you know to like I think that that's happening. I think it's just representation how you have a lot of Asian American representation here in America I think in Japan is important to also acknowledge that there are non Japanese people who are in Japan who can also be successful and most Asian people how has it been tough for Japanese? Could you see if it's had any negative effect on maybe like your comedy career? Oh my comedy career? Well theoretically let me throw some out there for you. Okay. You don't have a huge backing of second generation immigrants that are going to back you. That's okay but they'll be coming me soon so that's okay I'm working on it I'm working on it but they do give you the bumps though. I think so I think I do get because they're like ooh a Japanese comedian. Yeah because you just don't I mean you don't see a lot of Japanese people like for yourself and do you feel that that same way like are you like relating to that like when you came here because obviously in Hong Kong you were just like the cool half Korean half Japanese guy like I'm killing you you come to America you're like I didn't even know I was half Korean until like two years ago dude dude my mom dropped the bomb on my on the Christmas dinner I was asking my mom I was like mom why do you hate Korean so much cause she's like they lie they steal they cheat I'm like Japanese people Japanese people say about Korean people and we got this huge argument and she's like if you hate Korean so much why don't you marry someone like your dad and I said wait that's how she broke it like in a movie line and I was like I was sitting there I was like how does that logic make sense and I was like oh wait I'm actually are they divorced yeah they're divorced they hate each other they hate each other we grew up number of years I love my dad I love my mom that's why that story makes sense dude that's crazy oh my gosh what a terrace house what a terrace house what a terrace house what a theater what a theatrical mother I think it's something I appreciate I think it's something I respect and I think it's something that I feel it's part of my identity you know even though the Sony phones then the Japanese phones fell behind the cameras like the Sony's we're using right now and they're still pretty much I like them the best out of them I mean you're only picking between Japanese brands Canon, Panasonic Sony Fujifilm killing it at the cameras I don't think actually like I don't know if any of them are not Japanese because people know the fashion we talk about Y3 Oji Yamamoto all the way to babe you know what it is you gotta hang out with like a Japanese grandma that is Japanese grandma that's the culture that has not talked about they're hilarious so funny they don't give a f*** they make great food they're fashion also good my grandma would wear like yeah like I don't know where she I mean she died already R&B but she would like just be wearing like a random babe shirt one day she must have gotten it some like used clothing or something yeah I mean you gotta learn Japanese to hang out with them but they're great they're great they're companions I mean I don't know I'm not very currently entrenched but one thing I really appreciate recently is Japanese hip hop Japanese hip hop is back on the rise again J-Rap Chinese people especially from Hong Kong and Taiwan are really big fans of J-Rap you know why I do think they like K-Rap too but K-Rap sounds a little bit maybe too American for like less testosterone filled jazzy rap yeah and is that that's the J-Rap you're referring to it kind of influenced from that there's a lot of good Japanese artists out there right now one of my favorites actually this New York Japanese artist called Miyachi and he's he's popping out in Japan he's like fitting half his verses in English and Japanese I think stuff like that really revolutionized the scene is there any jealousy of how hot Koreans are right now that used to be the hot East Asians you know what's interesting I think that young people don't give a f**k like my cousin 17 he's on like some dance team and he's always posted on Instagram and he's like dancing to BTS songs that's what's so cool is like young people they don't really have that weird complex right that competition yes but when I go back a lot of older Asian women or like just older Asian people were just like oh you're from New York or whatever and they'll ask me like oh do you think Japan's losing to Korea and I'm like what does that mean like dude I've had so many people ask me that and I don't know if they mean like because economically I guess like no but like you're talking about like soft power yeah I guess but like it's such a weird the coolest East Asian title may have been lost in recent years yeah I mean I think it kind of has but dude it doesn't matter because people still like one I don't know I don't know why we can't all be maybe I'm privileged to say this but like I think we can all be cool I guess is what I'm trying to say like you don't have to take a person down you know I mean just cause people like BTS doesn't mean they're not like watching anime and like into Japanese fashion and stuff you know what I'm saying like you know what I heard I heard cause I actually involved in the entertainment industry in Asia a little bit they said that because Japan has a 150 million population they don't need to innovate as much cause they have a domestic market that will consume whereas Korea's always had a tiny population so they always had to think super hard import producers from everywhere songwriters from everywhere to the most best global product ever because there simply wasn't enough money within their population yes I've actually heard the same thing with like modeling Japanese models don't really f*** with markets outside Japan cause they don't need to right it's more comfortable to operate yeah and I think that's kind of the reason because it was such a big island but then it didn't force people it was like right at that size where they had the domestic market but where they could totally survive but then maybe also complacency to not push beyond the last time that Japanese artists had like one was like sukiyaki that song was really big in America actually my mom knows that's like old school that's old school but it was popular in America but they did also an English version but I think that was when Japanese culture was like you know what the interesting thing is I think that Japanese sense of like picking a fusion point and then building a culture out of it but not necessarily staying up day to day with the west it's good for like fashion but then bad for music so it's like you know what I mean like certain mentalities are like better for different industries if you look at career fashion it's kind of viewed as not as unique it's viewed as like western fashion but cheaper like a Zara kind of and then Japanese fashion is like his own sh** I think Japan definitely had its peak back in the 80s and that's why a lot of things over the 80s went you know like I said the rise of the automotive industry when Japan was economically prospering and I think that was its export period and now it's Korea's turn to do that you know you have the massive rise of Samsung and you have the massive rise of music in Korea and I think soon enough China will make a comeback and I think it's just different phases and different eras that are kind of doing this Asian influence on the world I love that I thought it got really deep at the end real quick you guys what was your favorite thing because we have low key that was way better than teriyaki I don't know Americans just got the teriyaki version this was like teriyaki times I was a big fan of the special karaage right here I don't have the regular ones I don't know what's the special that's some sort of radish on it that's daikon it's got daikon on it but it was real it was real crunchy it was real juicy juicy I liked it real I got to get rid of the pork man that was soft chewy boiled perfectly Japanese culture is so some aspect of it is so known to everybody yeah but it's so mysterious past the surface yeah and there's such a kind of crazy history behind it all that I didn't grow up super into Japanese culture like pop culture I wasn't a weeaboo or a taku at all you mean like some people at church gun damn a little big Dragon Ball Z a little bit but I really wouldn't consider it on that level but I like to think about Japan and the future of it like that's always really fascinating to me and it's like Asia and the future of Japan in particular because it's always been like a futuristic place so the saying is like Japanese people they always start with Japanese first they say Japanese love work they love the pursuit of artisanal perfection Koreans in their heart at the base level they love their country they love their bloodline they just because it's a small group of people you know fierce and Chinese they say at the end of the day they love money and that's a Chinese saying so I'm just saying do you see it you know I think I don't like I don't want that video I'm a comedian Hey guys thank you so much for doing this episode Ryosuke Fumi, Fumi, Ryosuke thank you so much for joining us on this episode

We also use some two wire systems and some one wire systems just for portability and then they just measure it, they measure it, they measure it through the city of Dax. Of what they think it's talking about. Next slide please. So we did two demonstrations during the pre-teach projects, one in the PDPENs acts, and one in the doorless. Now, the slight endoas is really significant is after 2014, this is where the semen collapsed, the railway line collapsed due to storm vents, due to crystal erosion and so on. So, our concurrent sensors that we have actually been endoas, we had almost as Sentinel ddiogelıygaeth arfer ac sydd yn gynll pride i collu ofiwys jam yn seym nirydd y iawn.

Mae These were deployed alongside a beach profile laser sensor as well, which was able to take the profile of the beach, particularly at low tide. Beach level has significant impact on what we would have done. We have now that mortar, and then in addition to that, we were also taking lots of information from established sensor monitoring networks, i ni i sut yw o'i hyffordd iddyn nhw gyda fiy ysgwrdd o'u numerol i gyn�chiadol, i'r gyferwyr cyngor o'r發ol sy'n gweithio cyllid yn gwneud a'i gweithio benwyd, byddwn i'n mor oedd i'r cyllid i gyd, a'r cyngor, i gael, a'r cyngor, a'r cyfan neu yn gyffordd.

The more you look at the B scan data between, you can see with the beach grid that the outcome is like. The last slide, so just to illustrate this point and the impact that might actually have on an issue of the universe has a Ysgrifwyr yw yw'r data ar maes 2022. Y model yw'r model yw'r model yw'r model yw'r model yw'r model yw'r model yw'r newydd. Next slide please. So one of the things we wanted to do is to see if we could actually start issuing hazard alerts now casting this wave of topping data since we now have an institute centre that can do this. So we actually turned this rather large centre into an internet things centre. So we essentially connected it to the internet. We got it to send its data in a similar. We dropped it directly into an API. Then from there you can access the data in a multitude of formats. This is all publicly available. Do you want to click on? I think there might be something else that I'm doing. Yes, what about that? In addition to this, we wanted to actually bring in lots of of the environment conditions that are happening at the same time so that we can have all this information in one place. So we've got data from the Environment Agency, Metacross and Chang Coastal Observatory. Next slide please. So now we've got all this data into an API. We essentially decided to have a way of demonstrating with a public interface where we could actually issue those hazards with alerts. So we built a little dashboard for showing the way that we're topping data. We used a traffic light system to help the public understand what might be hazardous about this new type of data and we combined that with all the environmental data that I was collecting in the API. What's interesting, if we compare the way they're topping sensors, the sea wall edge now and at the railway wall, you can see that quite a significant amount of way of topping actually not only reaches the front of the sea wall but it actually reaches the railway line as well. Next slide please. So we started looking at what kind of conditions, environmental conditions might actually affect what they're topping. In this particular illustration, we've got the different environmental conditioners who work and we've plotted their distribution against the number of way they're topping way so that we have measures during our deployment. The top graphs at sea wall edge and the bottom graph is the railway wall and throughout Hultoplawn we found that there was about 35% of the way the topping way has actually made it to the railway level. Next slide please. So just some initial analysis. Initially here we're looking at the water level at the top we've got the sea wall edge and then we've got the railway wall below. We found that the maximum mean water level in the Gordon Jr deployment were 2.61 can 0.26 meters on this data but actually the most frequency of they've been topping is 1 meter so this was actually above the mean but below the mass. We also found that some swell events, a bit of bi-modal wave action that happens in the George area and we actually found that some swell wave events actually also forms way more topping at much much lower water levels. Next slide please. Here we've got wave height. The channel coastal observatory officially known as the storm wave threshold for Dondlish is 2.77 meters but all our waves of over-topping before the beginning of this time were actually below this shown. They are at a maximum of 2.16 meters and again we've got swell wave events that were causing over-topping waves even at low water levels. Next slide please. Read on the gift. Read on to. I think it's just one should just be one. Yep, there we go. So how's our sense of getting on against the prediction models in wave over-topping? So we did this comparison on the 7th and 8th march 2022 and we can see the black line or the black dots are actually our prediction model and the red dots are actually from our wave over-topping sensor. You can see we started to get some discrepancies and we're starting to get some discrepancies that also change the hazard level that could essentially be issued to the public. And I guess the thing is, is this true? Well luckily we had a camera there so we were actually able to validate that our sensor was actually recording the correct type of wave over-topping. So for example, in middle of this graph here we start to see some wave over-topping that means the density of the hazard level and we can see from the camera that yes, we're getting lots of wave over-topping that's impressed. Moving on, this is the day we see that we're actually getting this not a white out essentially. It's just going straight over onto the lower line as well and we're actually getting hazard thresholds that are considered dangerous for transport. Next slide please. So just initial thought about what might actually be causing this discrepancy between the model and the in-situ measures. What we did notice is that due to these two high periods of over-topping that the wave had significantly increased, but we also found that the waves turned directly on shore. We know that a lot of particularly modernity states don't actually include measurements for wind. Next slide. So just a summary of the initial analysis, this is all still very new data. So in one year of telemetrics observations, over 12,000 waves were measured at the Dornish Seymour. It's interesting to point out here that the actual sensor that we're using was only measuring three hours either side, but highly tight. So there may be over-topping events that actually did happen at other times, but unfortunately we didn't measure those. 35% of the waves reached the railway line wall and were considered hazardous. And then finally, Jenny's actually trying to put us out here. Three different bands of over-topping intensities, but low, medium and high. She's tried to plot those against the water level and the speed and weight and height. See if there's anything that's really standing out and what it is. I think it just highlights how complex this process is. And so you may need to see when we're going to do this game, maybe better approaches to try and tease out those processes that were causing the water level to top. Next slide, please. And I'd like to finish there. If you'd like to need any more information. Thank you. I think just before we go to the break, I think it's one question that sort of covers a lot here, Steve. This is clearly quite an intensive system to set up, and there's like a critical need here in training possible. Is it something where there are lots of places around the country where there's a need for this kind of system? Is this something that can be scaled up, or is this like so expensive that it's only going to be where there's trains, but why not? That's a good question. It's very science specific, but I think what we need to do is actually develop digital infrastructure so that we can go out, plug and play those senses, even though it's particularly in the science, to be able to help those communities understand the hazards of where you're talking. In my mind, I had this idea that you would have an app, and it would be like, don't go out now, and then I'd say, you know what is probably obvious to the people in English don't go out right now. That's true, actually. I think one of the things that we can do is try and channel all of this information into larger digital infrastructure and data infrastructure slightly. We can take advantage of the new sort of developments like data commons, for example. We can actually start mixing that data together in places, but also UK-wide. We can actually start mixing that data together with more social information, for example, all natural capital. From there, we can then actually build those apps to say, don't go out. Your train is delayed for a good reason. I've been along that line. It's quite scary. Okay, so we have quite a few questions.


What's going on infinite family? Welcome back to another video. It's your girl Janice. If you guys are new to the channel Make sure you hit that subscribe button and join the family. Oh my god I feel like I haven't done this in so long. This is weird, but guys today. I am going to be pranking Isaiah I think this one is going to be literally the worst prank I can ever do on him because it involves my baby boy Blooper so first Isaiah is actually in the garage right now. He's working out So I'm about to prepare him some pancakes some chocolate chip pancakes And I am going to be feeding Nene Some chocolate chips. I know that that's terrible So if you guys don't know chocolate chips are probably the most toxic thing to give to a dog But I'm gonna make Isaiah think that I'm giving him chocolate chips when in all reality I'm gonna be giving him these now These are called carob chips and I recently found this out because I want to start making some treats for Nene So I'm gonna be giving him these but they look exactly like chocolate chips. So while I'm making Isaiah his breakfast I'm gonna be feeding Nene these chocolate chips and Isaiah is going to flip out So if you guys are ready for today's video, don't forget to smash that like button and team Janice is a back baby Let's get it guys guys. I just opened the bag And look do you see they look exactly like chocolate chips are working dedication motivation Was one of those speakers called well the motivational speakers. That's what I just felt like Motivational speaker really that's what I just felt like right now extra protein powder anything Do you want extra protein powder in your pancakes? Make a chocolate chip pancakes. Yeah, but one scoop of protein Actually, should I do I don't know let me know just one just one just one. Okay I take all the chocolate bro. What type of time are you on right now? Chill? What do you mean? I was on the floor. He like he likes dirt like bro. He likes everything You can't give it on chocolate. Yes, bro. What is toxic to dogs. He could get really sick. No, I can't I will stop. Oh my goodness. It's all sick to dogs rarely fatal, but injured in I can't speak Ingestion can result in significant illness sick because it contains a chemical called pheobromine As well as caffeine. He can't have the squirt in her.  Give me no Do it myself. Don't worry about it. You're gonna get put him down if you want me to give you this why Because you're gonna give it to him. I'll put him down.  You're literally doing the most you're doing the most you're giving the dog chocolate Can't be doing that. It's it's fine. No, it's not it's not fine. Stop.  Why are you trying to give him that do you not want? He's okay, babe Doesn't matter. He just had if you get sick. It's your fault.  You're so sure. I'm hot. I'm gonna get sick now. No, don't miss for your own good, baby Wait, I don't even know where I put it actually. I just forget through somewhere. Oh, it's so great, baby relax Chips okay, reading the ingredients, babe. It's bad for dogs Sugar stop our lesson lesson thing. That's it. I looked it up. Okay, so I got this girl makes her dog treats with this stuff So he can enjoy stuff.  He was literally over this prank I just tried some of these carob chips carob chips. However you say it. They're actually really good But yeah, I don't know what to say. I felt really really bad and I was like stunned by his reaction He does not play about his baby and I told you guys he was gonna do that So I think this was a W on team Janice's side, but anyway, if you want to see me prank Isaiah more Don't forget to comment down below. Let me know pranks that you want me to do on him Also, I just really hope that you enjoyed today's video and Isaiah is not happy But bloopers very happy because he has some sweets. So I guess that's all that matters with all that being said I love you guys and we'll catch you in the next banger


hello and welcome back to the craft box my name is Brent and today we are doing a brand new sort of thing on the channel we are gonna be doing a 1v1 quick match here basically for tickets because yeah so I don't know how well this is gonna go we've got 20 minutes left so this won't take 20 minutes but I thought I'd just start it while I actually remember so I don't know how well this is gonna go but we should be fine these are my stats basically the same as what I've been with for a while now yeah I probably I don't I know I don't have the best stats I need a bit more Pierce and a bit more damage as well but I'll be getting that in the near future we have only done what like one one tournament so far or two no must I think I've done like two tournaments so far I've got a couple of tickets already yeah this is my gear I've got the darkmore hat the darkmore robe the darkmore boots the legendary weapon a lot of death the razor the level 60 thing ghost dog samurai band which is not the best one the pet is trash and the deck is the gallery for be gone so yeah I there's definitely a lot that I can do and I'll probably be looking to do that in the future I might actually add some of these because why not yeah we've also the treasure cards kind of very basic this is what I kind of got told was good what goodish I'm gonna actually remove these ones goodish in a live stream the other day because battles are gonna take long I'm either gonna die or I'm not gonna die at the end of the day that's what it's gonna be I mean they're gonna die or not so yeah I kind of just want mainly hits and blades in my side which is why I have headless because headless is actually good for pips of beastness so yeah hopefully this goes well I'll be back with the first match okay I am back run one is about to start apparently and in fact we're going now so yes hopefully this goes with their opponent confirms as well I mean I wouldn't be upset if we got a buy because of that I wouldn't be I would wouldn't be mad to be honest I would not be mad at all yeah let's hope he confirms or she confirms nice here we go let's go okay I'm kind of nervous I'm not the best so don't judge me please please no judge I'm probably gonna do quite poorly as well like really poorly but it's fine it's just for fun you can laugh at me and watch me laugh so yeah that's Sarah frost I'm assuming ice from the looks of it yeah ice okay so what we're gonna do it definitely just cut you we are going to insurance this boy we're gonna just cut the infection that we are going to stun block right off the bat just because she's icing she can be a bit of a cheeky stun possibly so we'll do this should have possibly drawn to get a blade or two would have been good but you know it's fine if we can get a poison that'd be good we did get a poison which is good don't need you we got a blade so what we'll do is we're gonna poison to get off the thing that will blade and then heedless I think is what we might do just because we got to go kind of quick she's probably gonna prepare for like a huge hit is my guess she's got a lot of resist apparently this must have been the shield okay bubble of course of course she's gonna go bubble I'm not gonna fight it with the bubble battle just because there's no real point for me because she's just gonna win it anyway and there's not enough time we kind of need to just go real quick so we're gonna do this be a bit cheeky she's got a lot of pips so she's probably gonna do something we'll set shield I'd train this one as well just because I think it's more important to have an ice and fire than a storm and ice one so that's the only reason why did that one brace okay cool you think you're cool with your braces that's cute that's cute unfortunately you have to deal with this we are going to blade luckily we've got this wanted which we will keep in I should really start discarding things I'm not used to this cutting things I'm really bad at it really really bad she's got a decent amount of resistors kind of bad this is a shield correct yeah okay she's being really defensive which is cool we've got a we've got a um a wanted that we can do to take that off mm-hmm we don't need this we will draw see what we can get if we can get a blade that'd be nice no do it again in the side we only have blades shields and headless so okay we're only getting headless let's go for this boy get off that shield even though the pierce is gonna start coming crazy big I just need to be careful what's this probably something to take off the thing yeah okay okay that's cool I need to try and find a shield because she's probably gonna bomb right now really I should have kind of hit before we're gonna discard the skeletal pirate just because headless does more we're gonna see if we can get a shield because I'm really worried she's gonna a bomb but no okay we'll go for headless next round we'll go for a vampire if this doesn't one-shot me which it possibly could it could very well one-shot me with the damage in the all that sort of stuff yeah she's got quite a good control of the battle which is slightly worrying slightly worrying I mean that to the decent amount she's also got 7,000 health so it's kind of ridiculous see look a bomb yeah yep call that one knew that one was coming knew that was coming oh well we're probably gonna lose this but it's fine I didn't I'm just honestly only doing tournaments for tickets so I don't really care if I lose this is fun yep 180 what a tank what a tank here we go boys we're not gonna win no way we're gonna win this because she's just got a shield and she can follow up with literally anything um yep why not we're dead anyway what does it matter you know what does it matter might as well a bomb is literally ridiculous ridiculous so crazy yeah okay I'm just pierce all that brace is actually really good I mean that's 100 health for now at 200 so that's good 310 in fact whoa whoa look we are OP like seriously two sheds that is ridiculous we didn't even get one but yeah we didn't even get one no we didn't we didn't even oh no we did get one right then last round whatever it's fine I don't care she has lots of health I mean I probably need to go a bit more defensive I mean offensive but yeah whatever I'm sorry back with the second match okay I am back here we go with the next match I didn't really refill TC's literally just as soon as I got out mm-hmm another match quick match goes real quick which is great cane storm one in the mill okay that's that's cute that's cute one in the million I can do that as well boy yeah let's see obviously storm from the pet as well so I would assume storm is that right yep storm okay he's like little health as well we're gonna do this we will discard this boy he's gonna go really offensive I'm I'm assuming so we kind of have to go for like blade blade headless sort of thing is what I'm thinking I fixed up my deck but I took out a few infections all of the skeletal pirates which I don't know if it's a good idea who knows okay yeah just testing the results sure whatever what is this like third age or second age geez okay let's see we can't use this one can we get a another headless we can get a headless so I could go for a shield which I think I might just because he has a whole bunch of blades I'm not a whole bunch of blades a whole bunch of pips we're gonna go for a shield now he could stormwalled me which is bad I just haven't pulled stun blocks so if he does it's unfortunate what I might do I should have hit that was like an open hurt I should really take in that but I don't have many pips so I need to watch pips because not the best pip wise we could go for a poison I think we need to just start hitting we need to start hitting we suffer a lot from an ability to do things I probably shouldn't have discarded the vampire it's bit of a risky move but you know what it's fine we're just gonna go for this yeah you can't have too much resist because he is stormed so I'm assuming he's gonna have heaps and heaps of damage though so that's why I kind of need to get as much damage on him as possible as quickly as possible yeah that did a lot okay that's good that's good I'm happy with that what is this stormwalled yeah okay decent amount of damage that I got on him this could kill me with the crit this honestly could and if it kills me that's unfortunate okay no it didn't he is probably gonna go into something I mean he only has six pips so a triton as a possibility I kind of saw the stormwalled coming I just saw that coming I knew that was that gonna happen luckily we've got the shad for when he is when we're back so what we'll do we could also shield depends what he does this round if he kind of he essentially has to do something this round if he doesn't he is I'm definitely working wing ding ding definitely using wind but thank you know this is a blade was that really a smart idea was that really a good idea I'm actually kind of actually no don't worry because this puts up a this puts up a negative 30 as well so that's decent we can just go for this this will do a lot even even without the blade generally I would like to hit with a blade on at all times but it's fine this was this will still do a decent amount this was also enchanted I believe so it's fine oh did that nearly kill okay we can now poison next luckily we did that because this could be yeah so cool okay that was good we put up that weakness oh any crit okay this could be bad essentially no blade that was so close that was so close here's what did you that was really close here's like no health that was so good okay that's fine I'll be back with the third match okay I am a bike we are just the finished of Z waiting time and now we are here for the third match we're currently in 14th place so we kind of need to get up a bit we'll basically last is a whole bunch of people in 14th place though so I'm not doing terribly bad I'm just bad okay that is a lot what are you fire I'm assuming fire fire fire fire yep I was right hello there okay let's quickly I'm assuming he's just gonna go for the burning strats so that could be something we've actually gone first again I think we've gone first all the time which is kind of decent we're just gonna do this we don't have any shields we're just gonna go for this I can always headless next he's probably gonna shield yep yep a shield minus 50 is fine whatever whatever really if I can find a shield myself that'd be great we can probably discard some stuff in hand I need to get better at discarding a whole bunch of these things we have a shed which is nice goal gonna keep just in case poison we only need one of those at a time kind of keen can we find a shield is this a shield please be a shield nope okay we will go for a we'll do this I panicked I didn't really want to do this but whatever we did it it's better than the one that would be terrible okay this would do a lot this would be decent now so I'm not worried about that the shield is really we've got a decent pierce just kind of getting through this could be an issue there's 1200 decent he's only got what like 5000 left all stunts all that one coming what are you doing though he's probably gonna King of Art or something a fruit most likely a fruit yep it will probably be an a fruit yeah a fruit or King of Art one of the two either way probably screwed again it's fine whatever really again I'm just doing this for tickets and I'm not good so that's fine can we get another shield as well or something we're gonna keep that just in case we need to get off a weakness or a free thingy which is probably what's gonna happen a free would definitely do a lot yep a fruit slow predictable like honestly so predictable yeah yep didn't kill me that's good unfortunately hopefully he can if he can probably not fail but but if he could that'd be funny for three pips okay I don't know what fire can use for three pips Sunbird but I don't think that would kill so yeah we're gonna take off this nasty minus 90 hopefully we can get a Lulu that would be nice Lulu or a winged either of those two would be fine yeah this is a shield no doubt I should have waited the term I should have shielded and waited the term I'll shield this time if we don't get a Lulu kind of yeah I was just a bit too ready to get off the thing I'm gonna discard this I am going to 20 ps 100 billion damages we're gonna shield hopefully we can find a Lulu to get back some of that decent health this is what five pips probably gonna use rampage most likely as my guess at least otherwise I don't know what he would do yeah that is also a thing just as well we should have yep this could kill us so that would be bad decent as well geez okay okay bye bye well I'll be back in the next match okay I am back we are just about to hit on in Tuesday next to match we are currently 16th place of 16 so that is fun not it doesn't really matter we still get tickets at the end of the day we still get tickets and it was only gold so not a big deal yeah hopefully we can call some trouble in this one and I think from memory there was I don't know we'll see we'll see what happens maybe they're a bit afraid they're like who's this guy gonna be who we going against we are going against fire hammer okay well obviously fire what you would assume so I'm gonna put in a couple more of the ice ones put on one more of those just in case and we'll take out these as well just we're gonna go completely setting don't tell them I did that we needed this point okay can we head to the arena that'd be great Aaron fire hammer oh here we go here we go nope don't worry we are going whoa whoa whoa okay done done done done done done done done he's not showing okay maybe he is not here anymore that'd be great a free one a free one look we what do we get all we get tickets 15 tickets yeah look at that that's fun yay well that's slightly unfortunate but anyway I'll be back in just a bit with the rewards okay I am back just finally after forever finally everyone finished their things we are in 12th place not last not second to last tied for third to last technically fourth no triple tied that's quite cool so yeah what are we gonna get we gonna get some things and some things and some arena tickets cool yeah 350 arena tickets that's pretty good yeah so that's all if you have any suggestions of what I should do leave them down in the comments any helpers good help otherwise thank you watching there'll be more of this coming soon and remember craft outside box


Okay. Catholic Traditionist, when it comes to building a good life for me and for those I hold dear, I unashamably do what I believe to be right, even if this is at odds with what I am told I should do by nameless, faceless folks up on the hill. I find it is often better in such cases to seek forgiveness than to seek permission and it even more often better to seek neither from those folks. Catholic Traditionists, I agree with you. Don't look at Wall Street to decide if I got the gist of what you were saying. Wall Street and those in authority and power to decide where you should be and how you should live your life. Figure out what reduces the most amount of stress from your and your loved ones' lives. Look into how you and your loved ones can remain as healthy as possible and as connected as possible within the community. That's your first place you should be looking at to invest. If you have excess funds, then the next thing you need to do is do a fair bit of research to figure out where you're going to spend your money, where you're going to park your money that is not going to disrupt what you've created already.   There are people that I know that are extremely amazing good people, they mean well in the world. And all the excess money that they have, they put into Wall Street.  VC, the bank where I keep all my income and savings and encouraging me to invest through them, should I attempt to invest through them and make money or just keep the money in my account? VC, there's a fallacy in your statement here. In your second sentence, you're saying, should I attempt to invest through them and make money? How do you know you're going to make money if you invest through them? Do they guarantee it? Do they say we guarantee that you will get 5% returns per year for the rest of your life and you will never lose your money? No bank is going to tell you this. So first thing you have to do is, and banks, there's whole different types of instruments that banks will try to sell you. And if you don't qualify as a accredited investor and stuff like this, there are funds out there that have criteria. One of the criteria is, you have to have 1 million dollars of liquid funds that you can park with them, not 1 million dollars worth. It's not that you're worth a million dollars. You have to have liquid, liquid, 1 million dollars before they will allow you to invest with them. Now if you're Joe Blow, you don't have a million dollars to invest with these funds, then you're going to have to go with the lower end funds, right? Now you tell me, do you think the people managing the fund that has millionaires investing with them, is that on the same caliber as the person who's managing a fund that has people investing with them that are in the thousands of dollars? I'm willing to bet the person that performs better is kicked up to manage the funds of people who have larger assets. So you really have to think about what the bank is trying to sell you. There's a lot of garbage that the banks are going to try to dump on people right now. What do you call it? I forget the names of the different types of people that they refer to them, right? Great point. I second that suggestion, Graham. What did Graham say?  Yeah, and I'll give you an example. For example, like Graham is saying basically one of the best places you should invest in is your community. And I 100% agree. Like for example, right now in the city that I'm living in right now, in Victoria, Canada, British Columbia, there's a lot of homeless here. Okay. And a lot of homeless that have come from the other provinces. One of the reasons is this most moderate weather here, right? It doesn't rain as much as Vancouver. So there's certain weather elements involved and whatnot, right? So right now, because of COVID, things went into lockdown, right? So people in Canada who, you know, who had everything going, they had a job and stuff like they filled out a form, they got, they're getting $2,000 a month coverage from the government, right? So those people middle class, let's call them middle class that were that qualified for this are getting $2,000 a month until lockdown is lifted, right? Which is a lot more in the United States. United States people are getting shafted hard, by the way. Okay. So Canadians middle class could fill out the form if they weren't allowed to go to their jobs, they get $2,000 a month, that should pay your rent and your expenses and you just chill at home, right? Now some of those people who have bought homes and they have mortgages and stuff like this, they're at home, they're seeing what's going on and they're seeing the activity during the day and in my area, there's a lot of homeless around. Now the homeless that aren't on the books, everything's cash for them. One of the main sources of income for the homeless was collecting bottles and returning bottles. The other main source of income was panhandling, right? Guess what? With the lockdown, with the quarantine, with the suggestion of not going out, panhandling doesn't get them anything because there's nobody around and the bottle depot places where you could return bottles are all closed. When I've gone on walks, I've seen like mounds of bottles in parks where a homeless person has been collecting the bottles but he can't return them, right? So no money from the bottles either, right? So no money from panhandling, no money from the bottles, no money from the government, right? They don't get $2,000, they don't have a residence, right? They weren't filing taxes, they don't get $2,000, right? And now what's happening is those people who are getting $2,000, they're like going, hey, the homeless are breaking in here, right? Our lives are not as good as we thought they were. Our property values are going to come down because there's lots of homeless around here. So our homes are now, the equity we have in the homes is not as much as we had in the past before this pandemic hit, right? Oh, what's going on? Well, those people didn't invest in the community. They allowed the homeless situation to rise up to a level that's something like this that disrupts the ridiculous economic system that we have right now to lift the veil, right? All of a sudden they're going, oh, wow, wait a second, my home isn't really worth a million dollars. It's worth $800,000, but I put $200,000 in there, but that means it's only worth $800,000. So all these years that I worked and the down payment that I made, that just blew up. It's as if I didn't do that at all. And my car's being broken into and I look out my window, there's people camped out across the street, across the park from under the mound of bottles, empty bottles. Wait a second. I thought this was supposed to be a middle-class neighborhood. Guess what? They didn't invest in their community. Okay, if we invest in our communities, if we make sure the supply chain is solid, the, we have food security, we have people, institutions, right? Organizations that deal with mental health, with trauma, we have well-funded schools that are educating the children, right? If we have community centers where there is readings, where people can go take, like, for example, one of the things with community centers, guess what? Community centers are closed. There are homeless people that were using community centers to take showers. There are people that used to live in their homes. This is my area. Very, like, it's top of the pyramid if you compare it to the world, right? People living in their homes and going to work, living in their campers and going to work, right? Because they can't afford the rent, they can't afford property that we're using community centers to take showers, right? The community centers are closed. I guess what? They can't go take showers, clean up to go to work, right? All of this is ridiculously important. So when people say they have access money, they want to invest it somewhere, where do you live? Is your community on the borderline of completely collapsing? Do you like it there? Do you think you want to spend a lot of time there? Then you should be investing in that community. That's the best place you could invest your funds in, right? Stabilize it. Make sure that if something like this happens, all of a sudden you don't have homeless people breaking into your cars and you can't go outside and play, right?


What's up everybody? It's Jason here for jaspyscaserates.com.  Box of 15-16 hobby prism and 21-22 hobby basketball prism. Random team is number one guys so again chasing some Yolkich and 15-16, some Kat Porzingis, some Kate, some Scotty Barnes, etc. and 21-22 all-card ship guys and it is a promo break so I'll put your names in the promo list after we get done with it. So dice roll right there customer names and the teams let's roll it three and a one four times good luck one two three four three no one four three one four four Matt down to Craig and of course three no one four four one two three four warriors down the Lakers. So Matt you got the warriors Scott with the Clippers, Stacey with the Knicks, Michael with the Rockets, Matt with the Hornets and Blazers, Andrew with the Suns, Michael with the Magic, Matt with the Celtics as well as Chicago Boosty with the Heat. Shea congratulations you got the Denver Nuggets man chasing Yolkich. AA around with the Pistons, Tristan with the Bucks, Matt with the Wizards, Sean with the Nets, Tristan with the Cavs as well as the Mavericks, Matt with the Pacers, AA around with the Pelagons, Michael with the Hawks and Kings, Tristan with the Spurs as well as Memphis Grizzlies, Matt with the 76ers, Ronnie with the Jazz, Matt with the Raptors, David H with the Thunder, Matt with the Timberwolves and then Craig with the Lakers. Now I'll probably pull up the checklist right now for 15-16 so you guys can see what rookies you guys could be chasing for your team and obviously 21-22 is most recently a few years ago so you're not too far off there. About 21-15, 16, prism, basketball. I want to look for it that way. See how rookies are right here. So there's like Larry Nance Jr., Joe Young, Durain Grant, Devon Booker for the Suns which is a good one obviously. Campaign with a Thunder at the time, Kaminsky, Moudier was a pretty big one too at the time, D'Angelo Russell for the Lakers was in there, Bobby Portis for the Bulls, you got Kath, Jolio Okafor, Yolkich of course, Christos Porzingis so got those chances there. I'm thinking no one's gonna trade guys. TWC trade window closed, stick to what? She gots. No more paper guys. We're gonna go with 21-22, prism, basketball first. We're gonna go pack by pack on both boxes guys just because it is a quick mixer. I want to savor this you know. Alright looks like we might have an autograph right here. Keon Johnson, Ricky Silver, Charles Bargley and Kessler Edwards, rookie autograph to start us off for the Brooklyn Nets when it's Sean. Keon is right there. I'll sleeve that one up because that is card number one here. We got a red shimmered John T. Murray, Edwards, true red coming up. Russell Westbrook, Lakers to 299, Lakers that's going to Craig, Bismac Biombo, 299 for the Hornets, Matt G with that one. Got a Barnes rookie, Kaminga rookie, Sengun hyper, Purrwise coming up. Malachi Flynn to 149, the fake Anthony Edwards rookie. He was a rookie in 21-22. I was a misprint. Pete Marovitch Silver, fireworks, charismatic. Harrison Barnes, Kelden Johnson, there's a Jaylin Green rookie, Aaron Gordon Silver and then a Terence Davis true blue to 199. Alright three more packs and we're looking for one more autograph. Carmelone and a buddy healed true red. A little off-center but to 299 for the Kings, to Sun Moon, Aaron Wiggins, Silver. Alright last one should have an autograph. Last one does have an autograph. Sengun 75th anniversary, Gary Trent Jr. and autograph. Nice Moises Moody to 75 there. That's Golden State Warriors.  There's Boris Ruggies. Warriors, Matt G, Gary Trent out of 75. Alright well not the craziest box but I've seen a lot worse honestly. Those are your two autographs there. Alright let's go to the 15-16 prison guys. Good luck. Here we go, here we go. Look for on-card rookie signatures guys. I'll go pack by pack for this. Marcus Morris. Got a Tony Parker Silver with a Jarell Martin rookie. Vidala and Ilya Sova. Red to 350. And a Ronde Hollis Jefferson. Andrew Bulgett. Matthew Deladova out of 65. Autograph. Deladova baby. That's my Michael like this guy. He went to St. Mary's. For the Cavs. Going to Tristan. Alright we can still get some nice color and hoping for like a Silver or Yogurt or something like that. Tyler Harvey. Got a Silver Carl Landry. Stanley Johnson rookie. Karam Butler. Little Hyper or something like that. Descartes Johnson. Coyer Irving Pointman. Chris Blash. Alright halfway through the box guys. De Montes. Alright sorry now. De Nantes. You got Bobby Ports. Rookie prison there for the Bulls. I feel like he was kind of a late bloomer. He didn't really play too much or didn't shine too much early on. Danilo Galanari. Number to 350. It's only our second number card. Christmas color. Purple. All-Star Team Jeff Teague to 99. Two more packs here. Steph Curry 1415 MVP. And Emmanuel Moudier. He was also a bigger rookie at the time. Two more packs here. Got a Purple. And it's Steve Francis. That looks really awesome. To 99. Dame Dollar Dame Silver. Corey Joseph Silver. RJ Hunter rookie. Come on baby. Just give me one good rookie at least. One good rookie. Evan Fournier. Anthony Davis. Sorry this has got to be one rookie in these last two packs here. I think that might be in this one. Imagine if that was like a yoghurt color right there. Jesus Christ that would have been crazy. Mario. Yuzonja. Then we got Jorane Grant. Which he's actually pretty good but I don't think there'll be a rookie in this one. I guess we can still obviously have to open it up. Sam Decker. All right you guys. Well that's the risk of course ripping some older wax. I mean you're chasing only specifically certain players now. Not knowing that seven years later they're not really anybody anymore. But let me say that's the thrill of the chase you never know until you open it. But again it is a promo break guys so you've got a chance to win back some prizes of course. But I sleeved up a lot of it just guys just because it's nostalgic you know and ripping some older product like that. A lot of the silvers from the colors there. Man if that would have been a big rookie color right now it would have been awesome. Steve Francis. Bobby Portis. But there you go guys that's it. That was just a quick two box mixer guys. Again if you want to get into the next mixer guys it is getting closer. Just a few straight up spots and the last filler that's almost halfway there guys. So appreciate it. Again also two before I go so you guys can see it in this video. Copy and paste your guys's names into the promo. And again guys we're really not that far off guys. We knocked off this prism mixer as break number 16. Now this would be break number 17 which again could be the next mixer that's up there. Then we also have the mystery crate that's up there that sells out. That'll be 17 and 18. We only have to do two more mixers guys. One more regular mixer and then obviously number 20 is going to be a bigger mixer. A grand finale one. And that one will probably be a little bit more expensive but it is going to count as three times the entries of course. It's going to be one big football mixer. So again guys still giving away some nice prizes. A draft HGA choice case which those have gone up in value a lot. Bowman U breakers delight which is always nice. So like draft picks case and then a thousand dollars in break credit and five hundred dollars in break credit for a grand total of like ten thousand dollars in prizes guys. So appreciate it guys. Let's get that mystery crate done today in that mixer and then we can post up that second to last mixer for tomorrow and then we still have the rest of the week to sell out that last and final big football mixers so we can knock off the promo guys. Appreciate it. Jasper's Case Breaks.com guys. Thank you.


is, as far as we know, no. If you start with a really symmetric lattice like this, the best algorithms we know to find short vectors are the L cubed and BKZ L cubed algorithms. And you feed this lattice in, and remember what L cubed is doing. It's swapping things and changing. Within just the first few iterations, it has completely messed up the underlying symmetry of the inputs. And it doesn't seem to run faster than more or less random lattices of the same thing. Having said that, cryptographers are very, very conservative.  So people, yes, are worried about having the symmetry. That's one reason, for example, actually, the Falcon, I guess, which is the one I'm most familiar with, recommends using either xtn plus 1 within a power of 2 or xtn minus x minus 1 with some various n values, or maybe plus x plus 1, which gets rid of the cyclotomic symmetries. And it's there not because someone knows how to attack the cyclotomic one better, but simply for caution. And you can even go further than that. I mean, in some sense, GGH should be more secure, maybe, than any of these. These have not, well, I mean, these are based on rings and ideals and rings, and simply having that multiplication structure is extra structure. But again, no one's been able to exploit that significantly. And the learning with errors I mentioned, it's also used in some of the NIST selections. There's a sort of pure learning with errors, but it's not that efficient. And there's a ring learning with errors that has an underlying ring. It's more efficient, but again, people wonder, does that structure? Yeah. I've answered this too long. I actually hate it when someone asks, when I'm in the audience, someone asks a question, and the speaker goes on and on. But I still have one more thing to say, which any time there's symmetry, you need to worry about it and look at it. But no one's found any problems. Any other questions? I'll go in back. I cannot hear. Bjorn's going to come back with a microphone. And I will mention this is partly masks, partly distance, and partly my hearing's not that great at this point. So it's not you. The GGH protocol which relies on CVP. Hold it close to your mouth. The GGH protocol which relies on CVP, it kind of feels like a characteristic zero version of decoding an error-correcting code in order to decrypt. It's very closely related to error-correcting codes, yeah. And there are other quantum secure, as far as public key crystal systems, based purely on error-correcting codes. It's a little bit different. But the decryption process for an error-correcting code, I think, is actually more efficient than this even, or more direct. But yes, they are closely related. And their key sizes are roughly the same size also. They grow like n squared. Yeah. You mentioned that the ITYD work cryptosystem had average case-worst case equivalence. Is there anything similar that could be said about GGH or NTRU? Not my area of expertise, really. But my understanding is that I don't think there are average case-worst case reductions for NTRU or for GGH as it's formulated, or for learning with errors either. There are various sorts of reduction things. So for example, I'm pretty sure like for NTRU, you can prove that someone who can, yeah, maybe you can prove that someone who can decrypt messages actually can recover a usable private key and use it to encrypt also. There are reductions like that. I'm more familiar with those for the signature schemes. Yeah, it's a huge industry, much of it quite interesting, much of it very technical, of trying to say that solving this problem is equivalent to solving that problem or allows you to solve that problem and all sorts of techniques have been used for that. For example, a lot of graph theory and expander graphs and stuff, sometimes you can use to analyze the difficulty of one thing in terms of another. Sure, any questions? Over here. Your convolution product. Good question. So convolution product is the same as the ring moded out by xtn minus 1. If you change to some other quotient ring, yeah, if you change to xtn plus 1, it's essentially a convolution product, but there are a whole bunch of minus signs introduced, as you'd expect. If you change to xtn minus x minus 1, it's not a convolution product at all. It's just a quotient ring product. You can write down the matrix for it, but the matrix for multiplication will be less symmetric. It's usually better to think of it. Well, the general case, it's better to think of the rings. The reason it's useful, thinking of convolution product, if you're using that case is because you can do the multiplications using discrete Fourier transforms, and they get much faster. So the convolution product, you're doing n dot products. Because each coordinate's a dot product. So it sounds like it's n squared multiplications. It's not. It's n log n multiplications, because you can use discrete Fourier transforms, or what's called cart-super multiplication term. OK? Yeah. Yeah. Yes, so you mentioned earlier that we cannot really just naively implement the algorithms as they presented here to reward problems, otherwise they are easily broken. So I'm wondering if you can give maybe just some examples of how the modifications people need to make. OK. Yeah, and when I said easily, I kind of meant that there's potential ways. Yeah. Yeah, I guess the most natural example is if you don't introduce randomness, you remember the thing last time I said you should take a random bit string and then X or the message with the random string and then encrypt that. If you don't do that, if you just send the message. So for example, in RSA, if someone could guess the first half of the bits in your message, it turns out they can then recover the other half of the bits. This is a beautiful construction of Don Coppersmiths. Now that may seem so. I mean, how could someone guess the first half of the bits in your message? But I mean, you might very well start your message. Dear and your friend's name, we had an interesting week. I mean, you can guess what parts of the message. In fact, of course, this is how old style decryption went frequently. You tried to guess a phrase that was in the message. So that's one example of where you need to be careful. For, yeah, for El Gamal, it depends on the discrete log. So you're working in Z mod p, the multiplicative group of Z mod p. Well, it turns out if p minus 1 is a product of fairly small primes, it's easy to solve the discrete log problem. Who knew? It turns out, in the elliptic curve case, there are even a lot more situations where it turns out it's easy to break that particular one. And we don't really have great proof. So for the elliptic curve cryptosystems, basically, the way you pick your elliptic curve in your point is you pick a curve in a point that isn't in one of these categories we know are bad. But we don't know there aren't other bad categories. Yeah, so it's sort of answer your question. OK, sure. OK, so we're at 9.29, so I think we should probably wrap it up for today. And I just want to remind you that today's problem session this morning is also Drew Sutherland's lectures. So he'll be doing that kind of stuff. And tomorrow we'll be back doing crypto stuff in the problem session. OK? So I'll see you everyone tomorrow. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.


This paper proposes a novel approach for distinguishing between focal and non-focal EEG signals. It uses entropy measures to analyze the complexity of the signals, which are then fed into a support vector machine, SVM, classifier to accurately identify the type of signal. The results demonstrate that the proposed method achieves an average classification accuracy of 87%, demonstrating its potential utility in clinical applications.
