So far every time we've wanted to make a change to our material We've had to save it and wait for it to save which takes time and then it will update on the landscape There is a better way of working than this though And it can allow you to kind of update things on the fly. You can create little sliders You can have things Change instantly and it's also with how you set your material up and to do that you change things from being constant So for instance our roughness is a constant It's a constant number of zero point seven five and you can change it to a scalable parameter So we're going to change it to a scalar and then you'll be able to change out with a little slider Which will be cool So we're going to get straight into that because this steps going to be a little bit longer than the previous ones so as I've said this one here is we can see what's it called is called a constant and We're going to convert this so I'm going to right-click on it and I'm going to convert it to a parameter So I'll give that a click And we can see now annoyingly it doesn't fit in the comment anymore. So let's resize that lovely so this now is called a Well, it is it's a scalar parameter. So if we wanted to search for a new one we could search for better typing change So there's the scalar parameter So we could just create a new one. We don't always have to convert from a constant But it's asking for a name and this is whatever you call this will be what it's called when you're editing it in the material instance so Make sure you give it a descriptive name. So I'm going to call it Hang on let me click on it. There we go So I'm going to call it roughness and then I'll know what it's called and then we can sell some Values here. So the default value of zero point seven five is what I had it set to previously and I'm going to leave it at that The slider minimum I'm going to lead to zero because as I covered earlier the roughness values go on a scale from zero to one But what that means for the slider max is that I'm going to set that to one because I don't want the slider to go above one Okay, so that's everything we need to do to set up the roughness as a parameter So what I need to do now is save that And when that's done saving we're going to go back into the level editor and create an instance of this material that we can tweak on the fly So that's done saving. Let's move back into the level editor and I'm going to go to my materials folder Okay, so this now because I've got parameters in it. I will start to think of this as my master material So if you're working with materials like that, you don't actually Assign your master material to the mesh you assign an instance of it So you can have one mass material and create dozens of instances of that and in fact I've seen it done where someone just created one one mass material for their entire level and All the different things that they needed to put materials on were done with different instances It was very clever very efficient So what I'm going to do then is create an instance from this to do that. I just need to right-click on it and At the top there it says create a material instance, which we want to do When it creates it it will very much want to prompt you to name it now I'm happy with the default name of this which will be the same name, but it'll add instance to the end so m underscore landscape practice underscore inst for instance and That will now allow me to make changes on the fly but before I can see that working. I Need to assign this instance to this mesh here So you can see I've got the yellow outline which means I've got it selected and Here is where it's telling me which material I've got assigned Which is the m underscore landscape practice. So that's my master one So I'll just select the instance over here and then using this little arrow. I can say use that one instead Lovely so you won't see anything change because at the moment the master material and the instance material are identical But let's open this up. So we'll double-click on it It will probably try and fill the whole screen Okay So you can see that this has taken up the entire screen Which is not what I want because I want to be able to see both what's in here this editor And I also want to be able to see what's in the level editor so I can see what effect my changes are having So to do that. I'm just going to drag this down here Like so And now I can see all of the settings in here that I want to get to And I can see the landscape and that will show me what effect it's having Okay, so you can see the roughness parameter that we've set up is available But we can't get change anything because we've not enabled this parameter. So I'm going to tick that box And Now it's ready. It's all like, okay. Let's do this Okay, so Let's just say that I wanted to do something ridiculous just to make the point So let's say that this is set to 0.75, which is mostly nice But let's say I wanted to make this 0.2. I can tap that in presenter and that will instantly update on here So I can see what effect that's having Now I can also you can see when I put my mouse over here There we go It will let me click and drag Which I would like to show you but this is now the fourth time I've tried to record this little bit And it's crashing every time which is driving me mental. So You can click and drag and it's worked for me every other time I think it's because I've got the screen capture software on as well Um, so I'm just going to keep that a miss because I can't take it crashing anymore. It's making me die inside Um, so you can now set this to whatever you want. So I think I actually prefer 0.8 On this so a little bit rougher than I had it previously And then when you're happy with whatever you've set that parameter to You can save it And that will stay like that. So that means that's something that you can change interactively Whenever you want it's really cool What we're going to do is we're going to take it a step further In the next step and what we'll do is we'll set up Another parameter With this is going to take a couple of nodes to do that and that's going to control How the tiling of the grass works so it can kind of make the grass Texture bigger or smaller on the landscape. So that's what we're covering next I'll see you there for that one Thanks for watching If you really want to take your learning further than I can cover in this series Then I highly recommend checking out plural site They have loads of really detailed video courses covering game art and game development using unreal engine 4 When I learned how to use unreal a couple of years ago This is where I went and I log in regularly to take a new course and improve my skills I recommend checking out the introduction to unreal engine 4 course by joshua kinning This is really good and offers a good overview of what you can do in unreal You can get a free 10 day trial by using my link in the video description And you get full access to all of their courses for that time at the end of your 10 days You can either subscribe for more or cancel totally up to you.

Hello everyone, myself Sanjay Udge, Assistant Professor, Department of Electronics Engineering, Valchand Institute of Technology, Solapur. Today we are going to discuss earth synchronous counters. Learning outcomes. At the end of this session, students will be able to design different earth synchronous counters. Outline. Introduction to counters. Types of counters. Earth synchronous counters. Earth synchronous up counters. Earth synchronous down counters. Design of mod 3 ripple counter and references. Counters. It is a digital circuit used for counting pulses. It is a sequential circuit. It is the widest application of flip-flops. It is a group of flip-flops with a clock signal applied. Classification. There is a great variety of counter based on clock. Whether it is a synchronous or earth synchronous. In synchronous, the clock is applied simultaneously to all the flip-flops. Whereas in earth synchronous counter, clock signal is not applied simultaneously. Clock trigger. Whether it is a positive edge triggered or negative edge triggered. Counts. Whether it is a binary counter or decayed counter. Count direction. Up counters, down counters or up down counters. Flip-flop used. Whether JK or T or D type. Earth synchronous synchronous counters. Classified depending upon the way in which clock signal is applied to flip-flops in the circuit. Earth synchronous counters and synchronous counters. Now we are going to discuss earth synchronous counters. External clock pulse is applied to one flip-flop and then the output of the preceding flip-flop is up. Connected as a clock to the next flip-flop. Ripple counter. The clock input or the information ripples through the consecutive flip-flops in earth synchronous counters. That is the clock input to a flip-flop is the output of the preceding flip-flop. Hence they are also termed as ripple counters. This a two bit earth synchronous counter. You will see these two counters. They are flip-flops. They are of JK and JK flip-flops. This is FF0 and FF1. The J and K inputs of both the flip-flops are permanently connected to logic one level. So this can be treated as a T flip-flops. Here the clock signal is given to the first flip-flop FF0. Output Q0 is connected by inverting it as a clock input to the next flip-flop. So this is earth synchronous flip-flop in which output of the previous flip-flop is connected as a clock signal to the next flip-flop. At the arrival of the first clock pulse, this will toggle Q0 from 0 to 1. Initially Q0 and Q1 are reset. So at the arrival of the first clock pulse, Q0 will toggle from 0 to 1. This is 1. This is 0. This is a positive edge triggered flip-flop. So 0 it will be inactive. Q1 will remain 0. In the next clock pulse, the count is 0, 1. In the next clock pulse, it will toggle from 1 to 0. This is 0. This will come 1. So this is active. This will become 1. So the count is 1, 1, 0. In the next clock, third clock pulse, this will toggle from 0 to 1. So this will be 0. This will be inactive. This will remain to 1. So the count will be 1, 1. In the fourth clock pulse, this will toggle from 1 to 0. This is 0. This is 1. This will also toggle from 1 to 0. So the count will be 0, 0. So this is the sequence. Initially resetting, it will be 0, 0. At the arrival of the first clock pulse, it is 0, 1, 1, 0, 1, 1 and 0, 0. Modules of a counter. The number of states or counting sequences through which a particular counter advances before returning once again back to its original first state is called the modulus. In other words, the modulus is the number of states the counter counts. Updown counter. The job of a counter is to count by advancing the contents of the counter by one count with each clock pulse. Counters which advances their sequence of numbers or states when activated by a clock input are said to operate in a count up mode. Likewise, counters which decrease their sequence of numbers or states when activated by a clock input are said to operate in a count down mode. Counters that operate in both the up and down modes are called as bi-directional counters. This is the 3-bit asynchronous counter. Requires 3 flip-flops or the clock are active low or negative edge triggered flip-flops. So the signal available, it must be 0 at the over here. So Q, it must be 0 to activate this flip-flop. Here also Q must be 0 to activate this flip-flop. Now again the connection, this JK inputs of all these 3 flip-flops are connected permanently logic 1, that is at high level. Initially all these 3 flip-flops are reseted. So Q2, Q1, Q0 will have the output 0, 0, 0. At the arrival of the first clock pulse, this Q0 will toggle to 1. This 1 is connected as a clock input, so Q1 will be 0, Q2 will be 0. So the count will be 0, 0, 1. Next, at the arrival of the second clock pulse, this will toggle from 1 to 0. This is 0, this will toggle to 1. This is 1, this will be 0. So the count is 0, 1, 1, 0. Next, at the arrival of the third clock pulse, this will toggle from 0 to 1. This 1, this will be inactive, it will remain at the previous state 1. This will be again 0. So the count is 0, 1, 1. At the arrival of the fourth clock pulse, this will toggle from 1 to 0. This is 0, this will be active, this will also toggle from 1 to 0. This will be active, this will, the count will be 1. So the, so the count will be 1, 0, 0. In this way, the count will proceed as 1, 0, 1. Next, 1, 1, 0. And finally, 1, 1, 1. After the last maximum count 1, 1, 1, this will get, this will get reseted as 0, 0, 0 at the arrival of the next clock pulse. This is the timing diagram. Q0 output will change at the every transition of every clock pulse. Whereas Q1 will toggle only when, Q1 will toggle only when change when Q0 changes from 1 to 0. In similar manner, Q2 will change only when Q0 and Q1 will changes their states from 1 to 0. There is a summary of operation starting from 0, 0, 0, then 0, 0, 1 up to 1, 1, 1. And finally, they will get reseted after 8th clock pulse that is 0, 0, 0. This three bits are synchronous down counter. Again, we are using three flip-flops. JK inputs of all these flip-flops are connected to logic 1 that is high. So this, this can be treated as a T-flip-flops. The only difference is in up contours we are connecting Q0 output as a clock to the next flip-flop. Here also Q1 as an a Q1 output as a clock to the this flip-flop. In down contours the only difference is Q bar output is connected as a clock to the next flip-flop. Now initially all these flip-flop are in the reset condition. So Q2, Q1, Q0 will be at 0, 0, 0. At the arrival of the first clock pulse this will Q0 will toggle from 0 to 1. This is 1. This is 0. So this will be also active. This will become 1. This is 1. This Q bar, Q1 bar is 0. So this will enable this flip-flop. So Q2 will be 1. So the output will be 1, 1, 1 at the arrival of the first clock pulse. Next. In the second clock pulse this Q0 will toggle from 1 to 0. 1 to this Q0 is 0. This will be 1. These two will be disabled. So the output will be 1, 1, 0. Next. See at the arrival of the third clock pulse this will toggle from 0 to 1. This is 1. This is 0. This will become 0. This will become 1. So output will be 1, 0, 1. In this manner the counter will progress to 1, 0, 0. Then 1, 1, 0. Then 0, 1, 0, 1, 0. Then 0, 0, 1. And finally it will be 0, 0, 0. So this is how the counter advances in the in down condor from the maximum count 1, 1, 1 to 0, 0. This is the timing diagram. Q0 will change at the arrival of the each clock pulse. This Q1 will change when output of Q0 changes from 0 to 1. This also for Q2. Q2 will toggle or changes state when the Q1 changes from 0 to 1. This is the summary of operation. It will start from the maximum count 1, 1, 1 and it will go down to 0, 0, 0. This is a down counter. What is the difference between up counter and down counter? Answer. In up counter Q output of preceding flip-flop is connected as a clock signal to the next stage flip-flop. In down counters Q bar output of the preceding flip-flop is connected as a clock signal to the next state flip-flop. Design of mod 3 counter modulus. It is the number of states through which a counter progresses during its operation. We can design a mod 3 counter using 2 flip-flops. So the states will be 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 0, 1, 1. The fourth state when Q0 equal to 1 and Q1 equal to 1 is prohibited. So this is how we can design a mod 3 counter. This 2 flip-flops are required here. This is a combination logic circuit. The truth table for the reset logic. 0, 0, output logic must be 1, 0, 1, output logic 1, 1, 0, the output logic equals 1. So we don't want this state 1, 1. As soon as the Q0 and Q1 becomes 1, the flip-flop outputs must be reset using this reset logic. So reset logic being active low input. So once Q0 and Q1 becomes 1, the output logic must be equal to 0. So from this we prepared a K-map. For 0, Q0, Q1, 0, logic is 1. Q0, 0, Q1, 1, again output logic will be at high state. Q0, 1, Q1, 1, again the reset logic will be at high state. Now since we don't want Q0 and Q1 equals to 1, we must have reset logic equals to 0. Using a K-map, we got the equation as Z. That is the output logic must be Q0 and Q0.Q1 bar, which is a NAND gate. So with this we implemented a mod3 counter with two JK flip-flops of Q0, Q1 output given to a reset logic which is nothing but a NAND gate. So when Q0, Q1 will become 1, the output of this logic will be 0. That will clear the flip-flop and will reset. So Q0, Q1 will be 1. These are the references. Thank you.


In this spring, we also added another outcome to the dynamic route, which is to unassign users from a learning plan template. The outcome to assign users to a learning plan already existed in the workplace. But we couldn't add this outcome because the action that we have was not really working from a bit of service. This is due to imitation on the model elements API. So we needed to come with a universal solution that can be reused to all actions. And we needed to apply it for now. So this means that we have improved dynamic route API to allow that actions or outcomes can be Chrome-based too, not only event-based. So on with this, we have completed the circle of integrating learning plans into dynamic routes. So now you can use dynamic routes to assign users to learning plans and then create the routes to unassign them when they no longer meet the criteria, which is, as you know, when we add an action to workplace, we always add the opposite action so you can create these kind of routes to assign and unassign people.

Hey there! Listen, before we get started, I wanted to share with you this special chakra meditation. If you haven't already got your download of it, you can use the link below to get it ASAP. Cheers and enjoy the video! When we develop the heart chakra, we begin to influence our surroundings with our spiritual presence. When we develop the throat chakra, we influence our country with our presence. When we develop the crown chakra, we influence the world without doing anything. Hidden in the chakra system we all know and love, there is a secret code that will help us to ascend to higher consciousness much faster. Recalling the concept of the mirror wall or the half step, generally speaking, despite their existence, you won't really know that they're there until you've mastered all of the lower centers to a certain degree. So for the most part, when you're growing up, you're usually in the three lower chakras like we talked about earlier. You may be in all of them at once, or maybe mostly in one and partly in the others, or it could be constantly moving, some kind of blend or a combination of all three. Interestingly though, this pattern is true not just of a person, but of a country, a planet, a galaxy, or anything living, as everything alive arguably has its own chakras, even Mother Earth herself. At any level of existence, this same pattern of movement occurs. Let's take a country like the United States for example. This is a brand new country in comparison to the old world. Compared to other countries such as those in Europe or India or even China, modern America is just a wee whittle baby and one that has largely ignored the wisdom and spiritual advances of others, such as the First Nations people for a long time. Up until the 1950s, the vast majority of people in America were in one of the three lower chakras, not everybody of course, but most. Their biggest concerns in life revolved around power, money, materialism, houses, cars, sex, food, especially with survival aspects, making sure they've stored up enough money to feel secure. It was a very materialistic world that set the stage for the consumer culture of the 1950s America that was outlined in such great classics of American literature, Revolutionary Road, Death of a Salesman, Slaughterhouse 5, as well as the poetry of Robert Lowell, who referred to the period as The Tranquilized 50s. You know, the best phrase about this whole thing that summarizes the situation perfectly and to a certain extent echoes the world today comes from the comic book Watchmen by Alan Moore. When visiting a seemingly war-torn New York City, seeing protesters dealing TVs and being consumed by their own consumer culture, the character Night Owl asks the comedian, whatever happened to the American dream? And his friend looks at him dead in the eye, laughs and says, what happened? It came true. You're looking at it. But something did happen. In the 1960s, the act of changing one's consciousness began to rapidly alter what was thought to be normal. We had the first psychedelic revolution and while the world's governments quickly put the hammer down, the damage, or blessing, was done. People began to practice meditation and enter into their own higher centers. The movement was spearheaded by many artists such as The Beatles, who engaged in transcendental meditation when recording the famous white album while staying at an ashram in India. They, along with many other artists such as Jimi Hendrix, even made use of LSD to produce wild and innovative periods of creativity that changed music and counterculture forever. Now please understand, America was not the first to do this. If you go to an old country like India, Tibet, and certain parts of China, you'll find that at some point in their history, they also moved into their higher centers. They, as a country, moved through the mirror wall, as many legendary yogis such as Yogananda have described. While India may struggle financially, they have a tremendous wealth of spirituality. To that end, you can observe that there is a difference between moving into the higher centers as a country rather than as a species. It isn't really a fully enlightened state, but rather a more conscious one of their individual collective. As they moved through these higher centers, they would have eventually come to another mirror wall at the crown, keeping the focus to this new realm and everything that they have discovered before. A funny thing about mirror walls, once a person, family, group, city, or country moves beyond the first one, they are never the same again. Once they know that there's something more to life than what they have previously thought, they'll spend the rest of their life trying to figure out how to get back to those upper centers, even if they had just a fleeting experience of those higher worlds. In terms of a person or a country, once it gets above the first half step moving into the heart, the sound currents, the geometries, and the spiritual nature of things, what sometimes happens is that they lose their concern about the lower centers of consciousness.  They're more concerned about the information, their learning and their experiences that they're having in relationships with nature and each other in higher consciousness.  So sometimes when you look at these older countries, they seem to be physically almost devastated because their whole focus is trying to find out what reality is like on these higher levels. Ultimately, they begin to crave more connection, more communication, more family over material wealth. Once a country actually moves through the final mirror wall into the eighth chakra together, which is very difficult, mind you, their main concern is what happens after death, which often means ego death. Their focus becomes the next level of life and they reset to the root of a new, higher cycle. So again, the country isn't concerned with physically dying, it's not like some mass suicide or anything weird like that. Rather, it's about what's next for everything that they've learned in their journey so far, the next cycle beginning. We might think of this in relationship to, say, ancient Egypt. Branches of culture were created, wisdom was taught to foreigners and trade was established, new cultures and new societies formed with different groups of the world, merging and expanding together. Ancient Egypt essentially died or passed into new cycles and new worlds were born as a result, many of which adopted or integrated and even transformed the ancient Egyptian teachings into something new. How might this relate with us personally or even looking at us as a species? Well, even though on many levels humanity as a whole is still operating in the lower centers, there are aspects of us that are moving into a higher awareness and beyond the crown. We are in a profound age of information right now. As we evolve as a species, expanding our understanding of everything, our new understanding is changing the way that we live physically. Ultimately, this is the quote unquote death stage beyond the crown and a rebirth of the root all over again. Modern technology gives us a glimpse of this in a profound way. The Industrial Revolution a few hundred years ago gave birth to a wide array of new advances for humanity, but the technology was still in its infancy and we didn't really know what we were doing to the world in a big picture kind of way. For running engines and motors from engineering plants to the invention of automobiles, we burned and refined oil in mass to stimulate the world's economy in tremendous ways. For a long time, this was a really great thing for us as a species. It connected us and created a new level of society. However, with all that we know today, we are now seeing that perhaps drilling so much oil and plowing down rainforests and polluting the oceans may not be the best thing for anyone or even the natural world. With this new expansive perception, it sends us out of the crown and back to the root with new information than we had before and new questions are asked. How can we transform our current technology to be sustainable? How can we birth a new paradigm for all of life on Earth? There's no question that we've peaked at the life cycle for the fossil fuel industry, which will have no choice but to transition sooner than later. And the more people that get on board with this, the faster we all move towards a sustainable, cleaner future for all of us. This is just one microcosmic example of a larger human story, but it's a rather important one. If we can see the pattern of awakening and physical change and see how it relates both personally and collectively, it makes it smoother for all of us to let go of old ways of thinking and move into a higher, better world for all of us that much faster. And as it were, perhaps one of the most ultimate of means by which to do this, to bring higher light and awareness to the world, is by activating the light body.


Okay Charlie, C3, how many do you think you've been to? I think about three or four now. Three or four and it's getting, it's coming college time for you. You know, I remember when you were like a freshman, you were at Buford, right? Yes, sir. So you're a two-time state champ at Buford and Coach Strassler was really impressed with you yesterday but how much does it mean to be able to come here and see and actually, you know, work with some of the college coaches to show them what you got and see what the value of recruiting is to you. What's it like? I don't actually see them because you see them all in the media and stuff but to actually get that technique, like personal technique and exposure to them is pretty cool to be able to interact with them and stuff.  This is crazy to do. The combine that they do here is insane. This is the first combine where I can open my eyes to see how great what we should be for this opportunity to see all these coaches and stuff. It's insane. So every level here, you know, there's no question.  What's the thought in your mind and what are you looking for? Definitely D1. I'm trying to look for the best place that fits for me, you know, and where I can grow, become an All-American and NCAA. Reaching my goals, become the best person I can possibly be. Academics, wrestling, life, everything. Full scope. Yes, sir. All right, Charlie. Good author, you're about to scrap. You got anything else for me? Yes, sir. Thank you. Hey, keep grinding, buddy. Yes, sir.


Hey guys welcome back to come again TV where all geek culture collides if you're new to the channel don't forget to hit that subscribe button So you don't miss out on future videos Today we're taking a look at the Voltron 84 classic legendary red line And we're gonna compare them with the Voltron legendary defender legendary red line This is the story of the super force of space explorers Especially trained and sent by the Alliance to bring back Voltron defender of the universe Now let's go ahead and move him to the side a minute we will move him to the side Let's take a look at the packaging. You've got the original Voltron Beast King glow go line right there Voltron 84 logo classic red lion fire missiles Form 16 inch combine all five lions legendary series and the red line does form the right arm of Voltron Lance is the hot-headed ace flyer of the Voltron lion force He pilots the red line and is the second in command of Voltron You got the synopsis here from days of long ago from uncharted Regions of the universe comes a legend the legend of Voltron defender of the universe a mighty robot loved by good feared by evil and there you have the 16 inch classic Voltron there and He comes with Voltron's blazing sword says here He's got the laser cannon the missile launcher and 15 plus points of articulation as well as a jaw blade So let's go ahead and move that out of the way and we'll bring in First and foremost Let's go ahead and reattach this. All right, so As I said both red lions came with a sword. Well legendary red lion came with part of a sword The classic red line came with the actual sword now. Here is the true Blazing sword from Voltron. This has been the blazing sword in every incarnation of Voltron Since beast king go lion. It was a blazing sword and legend defender of the universe Voltron the third dimension and Voltron force as well as all the video games artwork everything This piece of crap is the blazing sword from legendary defender I have a huge problem with this current blazing sword. They really need to go back To this Sword this was the blazing sword This is more like a katana or something which in Voltron force Voltron did use a katana I can't remember. I think it was I think when Green Lion took center. He had a katana as well So anyway notice there's not much to this sword You got the hilt You got the knuckle guard Yeah, that kind of resembles the original and then you got this energy blade. Yeah, I don't like it This on the other hand This is the blazing sword a nice handle here nice detail Got the hilt here This blade it's got serrated edges comes up more serrated edges so it does a lot of damage to row beasts and The legendary red line came with I believe it came with this part of the blazing sword This part came with Green Lion. So we'll put that off to side I'll be reviewing Green Lion next time. So let's first off the legendary red lion is Slightly bigger than the classic red line only because of the rounded shape of the body Because the classic red line is squared it it looks a little smaller Also, the legendary the red line is a little bit longer than classic red line Just a little bit not a lot on camera looks like it's by a lot, but Actually That's just because of the distance. They're actually maybe a little bit less than a little bit more than a millimeter Apart in length both of them have the same Ratchet at the waist for the arm both of them have leg ratchets one two three Joints in the hind legs Whereas One two three four joints in the hind legs on the legendary defender red line The legendary defender red lines tail seems to be a little bit more a little bit more rubbery whereas Classic Voltron's tail is still kind of rubbery, but it's really thick so it doesn't get that Quite the articulation as the legendary defender red line anyway, the lead the classic Red line came with the blade the laser Pistol and the triple rocket cannon. Let's take a look at the detail on these things and they do they can't snap in anywhere Into any of the joints, but there's the laser cannon There's his blade and there's his rocket which Might want to keep it away from the kids until they get a little bit older. It does hit with some force could Could possibly hurt them So anyway the front legs Got hard ratchet there hard ratchet there and a ratchet there Got the head tilt on a ratchet, which is nice no Head movement at all and then you got spring-loaded jaw action and When putting the blade or the blazing sword in red lion's mouth as you can see there's a Tab right there and that's going to go in To that tab right there push it in Transformation Very easy the classic lions were very easy to transform Bring the legs up like that like that Tuck the tail in and there you go. He's transported it formed into the right arm of Voltron and for blazing sword same deal Put that tab Right in there just like that And he holds it really well Now in case any of you are wondering, yes This blazing sword will fit Into the mouth of the legendary red lion. I just won't attach to anything in there So I wouldn't really shake it too much And it's holding it pretty good, but it's gonna move around quite a bit So there you go guys We have the classic Voltron 84 legendary red line and the Voltron legendary defender Legendary red line. I'm Shannon for come again TV. Have a good one guys


It's fast, it's simple and it's good, it's honest. For me it is the most exciting industry. I fell into it when I was 12 years old and it's been with me ever since. Radio has been around for over a century and throughout has managed to stay relevant and attractive to listeners by constantly rejuvenating and reinventing itself in its approach and delivery. At ITU, we're dedicated to connecting the unconnected. There are 3.9 billion people still offline in the world and working hard to bring them online. Radio happens to be one of the best technologies at doing so and today is World Radio Day. A day set aside to celebrate the wonders and magic of radio technology. We came to Paris to the European Radio Show to talk to some of Europe's leading innovators and personalities in radio to get a sense of what's happening now in the world radio and get a glimpse of what could be happening next. In the last few years, radio has seen major changes at an unprecedented pace. Radio professionals have had to adapt to keep up with the times. As Clarice Frigoul, a radio presenter based in Paris, explains. We have to keep up with today's trends. That means that we need to be cutting edge. Social media has grown tremendously. There are webcams in studios so everything is recorded. We are a long way from what radio was 20 years ago. We couldn't see the presenters messing around, having to imagine what they look like, that kind of thing. It's just not the same game anymore. Generations Y and Z do not consume radio in the way that their grandparents or even their parents did. Interactivity is the buzzword for today's audience. With over a quarter of a century experience in radio, Giacomo Mazzoni from the European Broadcasting Union has his finger on the pulse. Radio has always been interactive in the sense that you can have listeners calling the radio stations, talk shows on the radio. Even now it's a lot easier and the degree of participation could be a lot higher than before, even more integrated in the program. This means that the interactivity part of the radio is an integral part of the new concept of radio. In each part of the world we are looking through initiatives to different aspects of what interactivity means for radio. Radio has not only changed the way that content is created and shared, it has also changed the way content is transmitted to the listener. Jean-Marc Duboy, director of World DAB, can tell us why more and more radio platforms are shifting from analog to digital broadcasting. Radio was the last media which was not fully digital. And World DAB and DAB's technology that we are digital audio broadcasting is bringing radio to the 21st century. It's still all the values that we know and love from radio in digital. So what does that mean? Small choice. It's free of charge for the listener. It's better sound quality and the number of services that we are bringing with digital. But what happens when traditional radios are also being replaced by other devices? For my friend, controller of multi-platform at the BBC, it can only be a good thing. The number of teenagers who say in the UK that they're planning to buy a traditional radio device over the next 12 months is 0%. So if they're not going to buy a traditional radio, they're going to be listening via a smartphone or an iPod. Another way, it's great actually, it just means that radio has to produce the right content for you and give it to you in really easy, simple ways across all the devices you want to use. It's very good for the listener, for the consumer ultimately. For many professionals, the increased usage of new media devices only means one thing, more business and more connections. Haslaria Maluchelli from Radio Technology Company Accel attests to. It's a very interesting market to build community for people. It's a way to participate and to be involved also because of these social networks that we have nowadays. Radio is a way to use them in a positive way. And what about the future? On the internet and other digital means, the world of radio is definitely looking promising. Maximilian Knopp, CEO of Console Labs, has his own opinion on what the future will look like. I see as a developer that radio must involve as a service. So radio should be not a radio stream anymore. Radio should concentrate on putting small content snacks like news, like an information or whatever, for different platforms. And while philosopher Marcia McLoan may have professed that the medium is the message, for Philippe Chapeau of the European Radio Show, what matters most is the message itself. The future of radio, it's not technology, it's not the way you broadcast that is important. What is important is your voice and how you ask me questions and how I answer those questions so that I concern the person that is listening to me. And radio people are very good in that. And a final word from Mark Friend, the controller of multi-platforms at the BBC. You have to be able to switch on a device and get something utterly delightful. And there are plenty of other utterly delightful forms of media available now. So we have to make radio as kind of utterly delightful but as simple as just turning on. That's the challenge, that's what keeps me up. An ITU production for World Radio Day.


Welcome back to Isha gaming and welcome back to another played lately video Where I will be talking about a lot of games that I've been playing lately and a few pickups Now I'm going to start off with Mario Kart 8. There has been dropped eight new courses to it This is my Wii U edition of it, but I have it on the switch and I have it digitally on the switch I have been playing the new courses and Including there are like Cocoa Mountains and some other retro stages that they have remastered and remade It is fun to jump back into it and it made me think which Mario Kart was actually my favorite I've played all Mario Karts, not the first one on Super Nintendo though Didn't have that, but I played Mario Kart 64, Double Dash, Mario Kart Wii, basically I've played almost all Mario Karts But I have to say my favorite is actually Mario Kart 7 on the 3DS I don't know. I really love that, but oh my god Mario Kart 8 has now I mean to begin with it had 48 stages and now it has 48 more stages coming So if you have Mario Kart 8 deluxe on the switch and you have the online expansion thing You will get your eight stages already now fun to jump back into thought I would mention it new stages in Mario Kart Now something else that I have been playing lately and this was before Elden Ring. This is pre Elden Ring times There's a new time now after Elden Ring and before Elden Ring, but this one I play this a lot when I was sick recently Up in my living room on my Xbox Series X and this is a backlog game from 2021 That I just never got around to finish or even play a lot I think that was in a time when I had and I felt like I had too many games Which I also feel now that I have too many games to play But the thing is I went back to it and now I am a bunch of hours into it I've started to get the hang of everything get the hang of the combat The characters and the character progressions and it is a game that is action combat based It reminds me often of Astral Chain for the switch and I can now say With more confidence that I recommend Scarlet Nexus than I did earlier when I mentioned it Basically because now that I've actually played it and really delved into this game. I can confirm I am enjoying it and it looks very very beautiful. The graphics are insane in this game It's one of the more prettier looking JRPGs in recent times in my opinion It's 60 frames per second is optimized for Series X Maybe a lot of my subscribers don't have a Series X or has any Xbox But if you're ever gonna pick up an Xbox I recommend this one. I don't think it's out on PlayStation or any other I don't know actually. I like the music. I like the graphics. I like the story in this one I'm not often captivated by stories Story but but this one very nice It's futuristic and it has a lot of time traveling in the story Which I am always a sucker for time traveling So Scarlet Nexus is another one that I've been playing lately The Nintendo Switch has Nintendo 64 titles on it now and I haven't talked much about this These are the two titles that I'm currently replaying again on the Nintendo switch Now with the Switch 64 app. Two childhood games of mine And they look a lot better right now on the switch than they did on the TV screen back in the day And that is probably because it is an emulation and they are running ROMs basically But everything looks very crisp. Let me just tell you if you haven't played these games They are older now. I see that as they are like 20 years old or more 25 years old I'm getting old but Paper Mario and sell the Majora's Mask Especially Paper Mario actually. It's a very cozy game Greengrass game. I loved it in my childhood and I have hundreds of hours into this game It's an RPG game with the Mario characters in the Mario universe Turn-based combat a big world to explore and a ton of things to collect These are my actual physical copies from my childhood and I love them to death And it is so much fun to see this being now put out on the switch Accessible for the people that grow up right now also so that the kids of today Let's say they can enjoy games that I enjoy when I was a kid So definitely been playing that it has the same states So that means things are much easier now than they were I'm also playing Ocarina of Time soon done with that also Majora's Mask on the other hand may actually be quite a hard game It was hard back then, but you can do it. You can do it It's not like Elbring or something like that sort of hard, but good hard. I don't know So another pickup that I picked up yesterday Is this controller that I've been looking very much forward to is the new racer Volverine V2 controller and I am a sucker for racer talked about that on the podcast this controller Exceeds all my expectations. It is the best controller. I've ever held in my hands It is my dream controller my favorite controller right now It's expensive because it's racer, but you know, I'm a sucker for racer mechanical buttons also and Just fits perfectly into my hands and this is now my third controller by racer I have the racer Raju tournament edition and the racer Raju ultimate and now the Volverine V2 Very nice, but I would mention it. So I would show it off. So that is a little treat for myself Highly highly love it Now barksala on Nintendo of Norway and they send me a lot of Nintendo games and here is my backlog Currently with Nintendo games. We have triangle strategy. I've only played it for one hour I think and Don't have the time right now. I will pick it up later Maybe it will be like the same story as so with other games like for example scarlet nexus I got it last year played it a little and I had too many games and something else was catching my interests a Lot more so this one is gonna be in my backlog for some time I have a feeling but it is a tactical Strategy game with a pixel art art style the graphics are very reminiscent to two Octava travelers graphics I think but I have seen on my discord some people are very hooked into this game already That is gonna be in my backlog.  Is this good? I have not much experience with the Grand Theft Auto series But it is really cute that it is released on the switch as a trilogy for the fans for the hardcore fans of Grand Theft Auto And I know a lot of people who are hardcore fans I can appreciate that but it says internet to download required So maybe not all of the games are on the cartridge wouldn't surprise me. Let's get physical guys So here's another game Chocobo Grand Prix square Enix racer game with the mascot from Final Fantasy This one I haven't even opened yet either. This is my backlog games Okay, you know, I recently got all of these to send from back so I'll thank you again But there are just too many games. There's so many games and also when you have a YouTube channel like this I feel like there are sometimes an expectation of which games I Should play and should talk about and right now as you may know Rune Factory 5 is out and yeah I have the game and I'm working my way through it and I will make my review So a lot of people are looking forward to my review of Rune Factory 5 Definitely, but I haven't played it yet too much. I need to play it more I cannot rush out a review until I feel Satisfied and I've seen most of the game that is how I like to do things But I can give you a quick first impression I guess a lot of people are very hungry to hear what I have to say about it because this time I have mixed feelings towards Rune Factory 5. Don't get me wrong. I am a huge Rune Factory fan I have always been a big fan of Rune Factory You all know that and this one has been one very anticipated game for me extremely anticipated But I have to say one of my biggest complaints with Rune Factory 5 right now Is that I feel like it is very unpolished and it doesn't feel finished And I think in my opinion that the performance is struggling My character is often sliding Some cutscenes, the faces of the characters they are shaking Some glitches, some bugs and it doesn't run very smoothly at all In my opinion, I sneak peeked upstairs at the one review Don't remember the youtuber But a youtuber said in their review that the performance was good And I was sitting there like Have we been playing the same game? I don't find the performance very great As of right now though in Rune Factory 5 But I have gotten a review called before the actual release So often times there is a day one patch Not always but often times So I'm gonna wait a tiny bit with my review See if they patch that stuff up So that I can actually focus on the game mechanics in my review And not complain about what I feel like is bad performance If you are a fan of Rune Factory of course that is a no brainer You should just buy it right now Pick it up You do the same gameplay loop as expected in a Rune Factory game And it's just the graphics that are sort of bothering me And like I said the performance Also there's very little voice acting But I'm okay with that, I can handle that But the main reason I'm not done With Rune Factory 5 review is because of Elden Ring My previous video on my channel I said that I am playing Elden Ring And guess what I'm playing? I'm playing Elden Ring with my new Razer controller And I am just mesmerized in Elden Ring I am now much more powerful I am now like level 49 I think soon 50 I feel very confident now with the game I'm entering a lot of different caves and ruins And I'm taking down now a lot of bosses No one has helped me so far I tried to have my neighbor You know neighbor Stefan To help me with Margit The first boss of the game But he couldn't do it He was just not very good at the game He got angry at the controls in the game But I have actually gotten good And I have grinded I have focused a lot on you know Leveling up my character Upgrading My weapon and my shield Exploring a ton obviously Getting to know how to master parry block and roll Which the game is very much about actually So now it is an amazing feeling You know I went into the game Feeling like a small little kid That were killed instantly all the time Very scared I've never played a very hard game before Because I'm an easy gamer But I can say that Elmering has done something new for me In my gaming experienced life And that is I'm just not giving up I'm very persistent Because there is actually something that drives me To play this game more And I'm not putting this game away And if you have put the game away Please pick it back up again It will get easier further in Take that from me I swear it gets easier If you just play like I said that I'm doing In my previous video You're gonna be fine You're gonna be so fine And the game is gonna be so rewarding for you later Which it is for me now It's my game of the year so far By far I am above 30 hours in So Elmering guys I have been very impressed so far with the game I'm liking it more than I thought I would Now lastly I found this old book While cleaning the house and cleaning my area Basically Which is a Stardew Valley guidebook That I picked up on I don't know A website Some years ago And it is the prettiest Stardew Valley book ever It has everything in it And everything is hand drawn And it is a complete guide To the entire freaking game But the thing is The reason I brought this up Right now Is that I thought I'm gonna give this to Tiny Hats This is one of her favorite games Of all time And I saw she posed a picture Of this book I think I don't know On Discord I have a feeling that she wants it So I'm gonna surprise her with this I'm gonna put this book in my car Make sure I give it to her Next time I drive it by It's such a pretty book She deserves it more than me I'm having the best time With the podcast that I'm having With Tiny Hats My childhood friend She's always been there for me Forever And she's just my best friend We have a podcast recording later today I hope you wanna listen to our podcast It's very funny We laugh all the time We tell pretty funny jokes Mostly So that was my play lately Played a lot of things Hope you enjoyed it Like my video and subscribe if you are new Thank you so much for watching And I will see you later Bye


Let quit acting like this man.  Like do you have kids? Okay, you have a step son how old is he he's eight years old dude Don't you want the most the best life for him? Yeah, totally. Okay. Okay, so why? So why so why are you letting anxiety from phone calls prevent you from creating the best life for him? Well, you must have an answer somewhere in that noggin because you're doing it You know what I mean said like these are the tough questions, right? These are the tough questions and like it's my job to ask you the tough questions or I'm not doing my job So it's like I want you to not answer the question But I want you to think about this for the rest of the day and I want you to ask yourself Well, what am I so scared of you know, like one of your videos you said that if you even have a 1% doubt Yeah Okay, but but here okay, but let me eliminate that because there's absolutely Zero chance the only the only reason why you would fail is if you have that 10% doubt or point zero one percent doubt that's the only way you're gonna lose is if you have that doubt and The way to get rid of that doubt is by literally just not having it You can just flip a switch and just not having any more you can say, you know what business is a hundred percent unlimited Closings are happening all around me like the people that are out there You know buying and selling properties like I'm gonna be running into these people as I'm making my calls And I'm doing my thing, you know, there's no reason in the world why I shouldn't be one of these successful agents You know there because it's true. There's absolutely zero reason why you shouldn't be successful business is unlimited There's enough for everybody forever. There's just absolutely zero reason for you to doubt yourself There's zero reason for you to fail. I mean it's it's right there in front of you you just got to believe and What's what's easier to believe than looking in your MLS and seeing how many closings are happening every single day And the only reason that you're not closing those is because that 10% doubt This is why this is why so many agents fail because they have like one or two percent doubt And then that one or two percent takes them out of the game because what it does is it prolongs the process so long That at some point you have to say, you know what I can't pay my bills anymore got to go get a job You know what I mean? And so and so you have to fast forward that process that learning curve so quickly So that you don't have to get out of the business and you can start making enough money to survive To get to the next stage which is making a really good income But you have to understand man that like I was scared when I started making calls and every single agent out there was scared When they started making calls so we all went through the same stuff, but guess what nobody ever died from it And so what we have to what you have to do is say, you know what?  You know what? I'm just gonna make calls till I drop every day until I'm successful and that's what you have to do You know what's so funny You know what's so funny is you already know everything that you need to do like you already knew everything I said You already know what you need to do like that. That's the funny part about this.  You've heard all this before.  You're like wow just got to keep going and just keep going and going and going The name of the game bro is just to never stop. It's to be a machine


Okay. Thank you so much. Can you hear me okay? Perfect. So I'm here to talk to you about bugs in the system addressing the vulnerability problem. We're going to solve it in about 20 minutes. Are you ready? Okay. So for those of you who don't follow me on Twitter, this is a word cloud of things that are important to me. Things that I tweet about in order of how important they are. But these are a few of the things that I've done in my career and that I've known for. Obviously, I'm the founder of a new security company founded about a year ago. And before that, you know, I was with a startup that was a bug bounty company. But I changed course because it's not necessarily all about bug bounties. How many of you have heard of a bug bounty? That's okay. I'm going to explain it. Oh, most of you have. Last year at this conference when I asked that same question, hardly a hand was raised. So it's an interesting phenomenon and we all think that bug bounties are all the rage and they're going to solve all of our bug problems and security problems. But this list of things that I am and things that I've done, not too bad for a high school dropout misfit hacker. Okay. Before there was North Korea, there was Katie. So this is an actual photo of me having been hired by Sony to hack one of their online games over a decade ago. It's been over a decade since I was a professional hacker for hire. And I thought for sure we would have solved the vulnerability problem by now. I mean, problem solved forever. It can't be that we're still running into the same types of vulnerabilities. That we still haven't solved cross-site scripting and SQL injection with training, with better coding tools, with better frameworks, with better testing methodology and security awareness for developers. It's amazing to me. So I got really sad about it. And I stopped being a professional penetration tester thinking, well, maybe there's something else that I could do to be useful in this world and hopefully help to solve this vulnerability problem once and for all. Okay. We only have about 12 minutes left. Let's see. So, of course, Twitter is the source of all kinds of wisdom these days. This is some guy on Twitter's idea of how to solve security problems. You want things to be secure, fast, cheap. That intersection, if you can read that small, it says not going to happen. Not going to happen. So he's on to something. This guy is on to something. But we started talking about bug bounties briefly. So this is an arc of the progression of bug bounties. And for those of you who didn't raise your hands, bug bounties are simply paying money in exchange for vulnerability information, in exchange for somebody reporting a security bug to you. So back in the mid-90s, Netscape was the first to offer a bug bounty program or offer a bug bounty $500 in exchange for reporting a security bug. Now, how many of you have heard about the millions that are spent on unlocking the most secure devices? Like 1.3 million was a number that was thrown out there for the Apple versus FBI, the purchase of that exploit. Now, what's missing in that context is that it's not usually for a single bug. It's for an exploit, which in modern systems usually contains multiple vulnerabilities and utilizes a complex exploitation technique. It is not as simple as one bug gets you full access to most modern systems. Now, that being said, when I talk about cross-site scripting and SQL injection, those are very simple types of bugs to find and exploit, generally speaking. When we're talking about the high end of the vulnerability market, that is where we're talking about the most complex exploitation techniques. But from this chart, you'll also notice that there are non-technology companies that have joined the bug bounty bandwagon in the last few years, like an automobile manufacturer, Tesla, Western Union, a shipping company, and then you also see a nice little seal in the corner, the Department of Defense. How many of you have heard of Hack the Pentagon? Okay, great. Well, we're going to talk about it in a minute. Even some of the camera guys haven't heard of it. That's great. Okay. So, when I talk about, I've got 10 minutes to solve this problem for you guys. Okay, let's speed it up. So, when I talk about vulnerability disclosure versus bug bounty programs, it's been trendy to talk about buying bugs. But what is the foundational element that you need in order to support a bug bounty program? Well, you need a process to fix it. Finding the bugs is only half the equation. How are you actually going to address these things? And the foundation is vulnerability disclosure. So there's a couple of ISO standards that I've been the co-author for. ISO 29147 vulnerability disclosure. And ISO 30111, vulnerability handling processes. How many of you heard of those? Okay, only the rest of my new American fellows. That's it. And the reason for this is that it's not popular to have to actually follow some sort of regimented process for handling your bugs. It's very popular to talk about how you're finding more bugs, but not necessarily how you're fixing them. Bug bounty programs are simply an incentive towards getting more bugs into your system to be able to fix it. But if you have no mechanism for fixing, you're dead in the water. So how did we get from Microsoft who had historically said they would never pay for vulnerability information? How did I as a security strategist there get them to go ahead and start paying among the highest bug bounties in the industry? Hmm, okay. Oops. So these were the three original bug bounty programs at Microsoft. $100,000 for a brand new exploitation technique. Remember I said earlier, it's not a per bug exploit, a one bug exploit that usually compromises most modern systems. It takes a chain of vulnerabilities strung together in a particular way to compromise the most complex modern systems that have had security hardening over the years like the most recent Microsoft operating systems. So to Microsoft, it was worth $100,000 for a new technique. The only per bug bounty was the IE11 beta bug bounty. And that, this slide, is how I convinced IE to start paying for vulnerabilities. So what you'll see in white there is actual data. So there were very few vulnerability reports during the beta period of IE10. There was no bug bounty. But we had over 200,000 non-spam email messages a year coming into secure at Microsoft. So over 200,000 times that helpful hackers were trying to warn Microsoft about potential security issues. So why would Microsoft then start paying them? Well, the purple is a projection. And I said we can shape the traffic because we're getting all of our bugs reported after the beta period is over, after the code is released to manufacturing and the code is somewhat stable. Why is that? It's because we had created a perverse incentive. And the perverse incentive was the only thing a hacker could get in exchange for reporting a vulnerability to Microsoft before the bug bounties was 12-point aerial font of their name in a bulletin. If it was fixed during the beta period, there was no bulletin. So there was no incentive for them to report bugs early in the beta section of the release of the software. So we projected that we would actually move the spike, move the traffic if we did a bug bounty in the first 30 days of the IE11 beta period. And the actual results, 18 serious vulnerabilities were reported. They were bulletin class vulnerabilities. Each of them could have fetched on their own over $100,000 on the offense market. However, the offense market wasn't buying during that time because who would buy a bug that could disappear during the beta period? So anyone want to guess how much money I spent to get 18 bulletin class vulnerabilities in the first 30 days of the IE11 beta period? Okay, I'll tell you, about $27,000 total. That was it. So let's move on to hack the Pentagon. We were hoping in the participation of this program that we would get a few hundred people to come forward and want to participate to help secure the Pentagon in a first ever pilot program. The reason this was so significant was not just because this was the first time that the U.S. government was going to pay hackers to hack them, but it was the first time it had been legal since the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act for anyone who saw something to say something to the United States government to help secure our systems. So this was very significant, but we got more than a few hundred. We got 1,400 eligible participants registering over 1,000 reports in a 21-day period narrowing down to about 138 valid security issues. And the time it took for them to start 13 minutes after midnight, note to you, don't start a bug bounty program at midnight. So then what happened? In November, we launched the next bug bounty program of the U.S. government. This is Hack the Army. By the way, the coins that the participants get for participating in these programs are they have little binary encoded messages on them for the hackers. For hack the Pentagon, it's translated to I hacked the Pentagon. For hack the Army, it translated to I hacked the Army, beat Navy. So, and apparently it worked. So, what did we learn from this and how did we scope this down? Remember, we got 1,400 eligible participants in the first round of this pilot. Well, we scoped it down to limiting the participation to 400. The total reports received, the signal to noise was much improved. Still, only took five minutes to get that first report. Thankfully, we didn't start it at midnight this time. But learning from this, it's that, yes, you can receive vulnerability reports if you entice them with a nifty coin for love of God in country and a little bit of money, but what are you going to do on the back end? How are you going to process all of these things? So, what's coming next? Are we going to be overwhelmed with a tidal wave of bug bounty programs in 2017? It sure looks like it. However, I mean, if you want to get a flood of vulnerabilities that you may or may not be able to process, you could certainly start with a bug bounty program. You would get a lot of bugs. They may not be the bugs you're most interested in. They may be a whole bunch of duplicate bugs that you could have found in a more cost-effective way, either by hiring your own folks or running some tools yourselves or essentially not offering a bug bounty, but just opening the front door to receive vulnerability reports. I don't know if you caught it on one of my slides earlier, 94% of the Forbes Global 2000 lack the official means to report a vulnerability to them. These are folks that are spending millions on security, but they simply lack a front door and a process by which to receive their bugs. So, what are we going to do in order to solve this problem, not just for right now, but for the internet of the future? Supply chain, internet of things, cars, pacemakers. Well, these are complex vulnerability disclosure scenarios. Often a car is not just a car. It is a collection of intellectual property that works together. It is not a simple thing to just dangle some money in front of a car and say, go ahead and hack this. You have to have the mechanisms and the communication channels to actually coordinate those bugs to resolution in a fully functional device. We have had an internet of thing for a very long time that has been quite difficult to secure and these are our mobile phones. We haven't been able to solve this problem thus far. So, what is the answer? Well, we hear about maturity models all the time in terms of secure code development. We hear about maturity models when it comes to dealing with breaches and your readiness. We have not up until this last year heard about maturity models when it comes to receiving incoming vulnerability reports and your ability to get through that process, understand it, triage it and decide on a fix and release it. So, I do have a vulnerability coordination maturity model, which I'm not going to go through in two minutes and 30 seconds, but avoiding the pitfalls of jumping on to a bug bounty bandwagon before you are ready to actually fix any of the bugs that you have and that you could find out about through other means is basically planning on running a marathon immediately following a coma. I mean, this is a bad idea. So, what's next? I just came back from the UK and went through my very, very first secondary screening in immigration. No relation to the fact that I was just at GCHQ. I think that's fine. So, what we just launched together, what we just announced is a vulnerability coordination pilot for the UK government. This is a pilot to refine their process maturity with an invited set of trusted security researchers because they know they have bugs. They know they want to receive bugs from the outside, but what they want is to understand where their process breaks down so that they can scale it in a mature way. Leave it to the Queen to think of a way to get through this problem in a much more dignified manner. They did, by the way, say that the most important thing that people can do, this was the CEO of NCSC, the National Cybersecurity Center in the UK, did say on stage at his own conference, patch your damn bugs. That was his advice to everyone to secure things, but they understand that this is a process and it is a growth of maturity that will lead the way. So, someone is eventually going to disclose a bug to you or try. It's a matter of being prepared that's more important than paying for vulnerability. So, building a process for mature vulnerability coordination and fixing the bugs that are reported is more important than any kind of monetary incentive you can think of, no matter how trendy it sounds. So, bug bounties are not going to replace other security testing, and I would venture to say that we don't have a bug problem. We have a patching problem. To open it up to hackers, helpful hackers who want to tell you about your bugs is only part of the equation. The other part is dealing with it. And the last thing I'll say is that it's wonderful to be here at New America, and we are thinking about solutions to bring the future to cybersecurity in America, but the whole Internet is a place where we have to operate as defenders without borders. Hackers come from all over the place, from all different backgrounds, and we have to be prepared to hear from them no matter who they are and where they come from. Thank you.


Let me say how much of a pleasure it is to be here again on yet another occasion of the leadership annual conference and awards. These awards have just by the integrity and consistency in upholding high values become a major national event for the recognition of deserving local and international persons. And we're greatly honored today, especially by the presence of our guest speaker, a true icon of African democracy, former prime minister of the Republic of Kenya, the great Reiler Odinga. He comes as, you know, from a distinguished political family. His father before him was once vice president of the Republic of Kenya. And I was telling him earlier what a profound influence his daughter Winnie Odinga, an elected member of the East African Legislative Assembly, has been for young people, especially young women, interested in politics. So if there's anyone who can comment with authority on the topic anywhere in Africa, it is surely Reiler Odinga. And listening to him, you see that he is really an encyclopedia of sorts in election observations in Nigeria and elsewhere, and also in the politics of Africa generally. It has, in the politics of its own country, shown unequal commitment to the electoral process and the rule of law, having run five times for the Kenyan presidency, and each time going through the legal process to contest his loss of the elections. Thank you very much, not just for an insightful speech, but for being such an inspiration to politicians in Africa. The founder of this organization, Sam Azair, my good friend and brother, of Blessed Memory, believes strongly that the role of the media is to serve as the foremost moderator of public discourse and to be an impartial, yet impassioned, umpire of the grand debates of our country's future. His pursuit of a better society saw him engaged in Nigerian reality, first as one of the most forthright journalists of his generation, and then secondly, to enter the trenches of politics himself and seek the highest elective office in the land. In both pursuits, Sam retained the essential values of integrity and service that had always driven him. And I commend you all at the Leadership Media Group for striving to keep his legacy alive and continuing to follow the trail that he so dodgetly blazed during his accomplished life. The topic has already been extensively considered by our guest speaker and have very little to add, except to reemphasize that there is hardly any issue of greater significance to the people and government alike than the economy, the daily struggles for food, for shelter, for clothing are bigger than any other matters. Certainly bread and butter trumps everything else. So in our democracy, where we have today over 200 million people, 90 million of who require education and job opportunities, those are under the age of 30, and all others requiring healthcare, infrastructure and social service, the enormity of the challenges are stark. Democracy, the rule of law and the election of governments by free and fair elections are crucial because they are meant to support the primary objective of enabling citizens to live well and have access to well-paying jobs, opportunities and services, or in a broad sense to support the growth and stability of the economy and the social structure of the nation. So it is evident then that we must carefully curate these safeguards for the well-being of our citizens to ensure that they do not negatively affect the very well-being that they are meant to protect, namely the economy and the social structure of society. And this is a delicate task indeed because in every election cycle, the first casualty is the economy. There's a reluctance to invest before the elections, consumers are careful not to spend their savings or to be bullish in the stock market sometimes because of the fear of electoral disturbances that might spiral out of control and make business and commerce impossible. For the more sophisticated economic actors, it makes sense to simply wait until the complexion of the new government is clear. But the prospects for the disruption of the economy are even greater where elections for one reason or the other produce governments that are not credible. Legitimacy of governments as conferred by the freely given mandate of the electorate is a major consideration, as we've heard from our guest speaker, for savvy investors, both local and foreign. Capital, they say, is a great coward, running away from the slightest sign of trouble. Besides, we in Nigeria know from our recent electoral history that there are too many examples of electoral violence following disputed electoral outcomes. This, of course, usually means the destruction sometimes of public and private property and infrastructure, aside from the waste of man hours while the unrest lasts and it's immediate aftermath. I think the third test of the credibility of our electoral contests is the integrity of the empire and the electoral courts. And I think our guest speaker has also talked extensively about the integrity of the empire. But I also want to emphasize the integrity of the electoral courts. Where the empire is perceived as unfair, there is potential for trouble. Where the courts are perceived as arbitrary, as whimsical, or acting in contradiction to establish precedence, there's an almost commensurate loss of confidence by the electorate. The political elite in Nigeria have a duty in the interest of the economic well-being of our citizens. And, of course, in the overall interest of our people who we claim to represent to ensure that elections and electoral dispute resolution processes are free, they're fair and credible. This is the list that we can offer our nation and its peoples and indeed our continent. Finally, let me especially congratulate our very deserving AODs today, including General Bubam Marwa, who has led perhaps the most effective and result-oriented fight against drug trafficking in Nigeria and internationally. Dr. Benedict O'Rama, who has shown that our Exim Bank in Africa can proactively and creatively provide and target capital to relevant sectors to improve and enhance prosperity, not just in Nigeria, but across the continent. Tobias Mouchon, our Olympic and world record holder in the 110 meters hurdles for women, is also an outstanding awardee today. And I want to specially recognize the women who have today been granted, given these awards, especially Chantal Abdo, who is the managing director of Mojack, the manufacturers of meters, electric meters, and Mrs. Neka Onyali-Akbe, who is the managing director of Fidelity Bank. Of course, I mentioned Fidelity Bank, especially, because that's my bank, actually. So I'm extremely proud of the fact that they received an award today. So I'd like to thank you all very much for attending this event. And I think that one thing that has been shown by the awards is what is achievable when we have the right people in the right positions and that is so in the public and private sectors and also what is possible by the benefit of hard work, diligence, and focus on personal and national development. These years, our deeds are icons of our collective possibilities as a people and we're extremely proud of all of them. This is, there's so much budding talent to nurture, to greatness in Nigeria, and we must create an environment that permits talents to bloom into their fullness. And all of these are entirely possible in this nation of ours. Finally, let me congratulate our ever-gracials host and chairperson of the Leadership Media Group, a woman who has taken up the mantle of leadership of the group with clarity of vision and with great diligence, Mrs. Zaynab, Sam, and I, Zaya. Thank you very much for your hospitality always and thank you very much for keeping this alive. Thank you very much, everyone. God bless you.


Hi friends, welcome back to my channel and a very special welcome if you're new here. My name is Jen, I'm a certified weight loss and nutrition coach and today's grocery haul day and I have a massive, massive, massive, massive grocery haul for you. Like I mentioned, when I came home from my trip from New Orleans, we had no food. My lovely husband really cleaned everything out while I was gone. So it was major stock up time. I actually shopped at three stores and spent over $500. So I'm excited to share with you everything I grabbed, lots of new food finds.  Subscribe if you're not because I upload a grocery haul every Saturday and five videos per week. Check out the description box down below for nutrition coaching, where I offer personalized to you macros and calories. Definitely do this. This is how I've lost almost 140 pounds as well as one-on-one coaching. If you would like to chat with me directly. Links and discounts to my favorite things and my Facebook group, come join us there. We'd love to have you are all down in that description box. So let me flip you around and let's talk about my massive haul. So we're gonna go ahead and start this week's haul off with Sam's Club. I also picked up a quesaday coke and a case of Gatorade Zero. Troy's putting those away in the garage. So let me show you what is in my Sam's Club haul. First, we're gonna start with toilet paper and paper towels. I always grab them by the case at either Sam's Club or Costco. They have this big bag of pitos. Now I don't know what flavor it is. It says crunchy cheeseless puffs. So I'm betting it's like a cheese puff. This was like $5, which is such a good deal. These are pea-based, bold-flavored vegan snacks. These are so good. They sell them in little individual bags, but this was such a good deal. 13 chips is 140 calories. So I got those just to have a crunchy side with lunch. I also picked up dog treats. They didn't have the best selection of dog treats. They had a lot of bones and things, but I was really looking for treats. So these are from the brand Irish Rover. These are the beef jerky recipe treats. I bought these before. My dogs really like them. I think next week when Lola goes to chemo, I'll hit Trader Joe's up.  I also picked up a gallon of 2% milk for Troy. Can you guys hear Palmer? Palmer, this is the grocery haul for our friends. There's nothing for you. In my little baby, can you see her paw? She just came from chemo. I'll give you guys something when I'm done, okay? I did pick up a two-pack of the Thomas English Muffins for Troy. He makes a lot of breakfast sandwiches. It's so funny to me because Costco sells these in a four-pack, Sam's Club sells them in a two-pack. I like that it's a little less though because we ended up freezing quite a few packs. I did, of course, pick up some mini cucumbers. These were a better deal at Sam's Club than Sprout. I wanna say the bag at Sprout's is $5, which is like half of the amount in here.  And then I did grab some more mouthwash. I always, always buy mouthwash at Sam's or Costco. The yogurt options were a little more limited as well. So I did grab some Oikos triple zero. This one has six strawberry, six mixed berry and six vanilla. I was pretty bummed. They didn't have any plain non-fat Greek yogurt. I was on the hunt for that as well, but at least I'll have some high protein yogurt on hand. And this was on clearance. They're probably just phasing it out. This is from Be Free and this is a warrior snack mix. It says Bob Salted Caramel. You can see that it's open because I tried it so good. They're big, huge chunks. They actually look just like the picture. It's clean fuel with Almond's Honey Insulted Caramel. Absolutely amazingly good. 150 calories for a quarter cup, which is like one in about a quarter of the pieces in here. Really good. I have it as a snack. Kept me nice and full and satisfied. And like I said, it was delicious. And then I did pick up some Caramel Premier Protein. I am about out of protein, which is not like me. I'm usually a protein shake hoarder. They had no fair life at Sam's Club, except the 42 gram one, which I didn't really want. So I did grab a case of Caramel. Some fabric softener. Troy has been liking using liquid fabric softener versus sheet, so he requested that I stock up. And then I got my Gain Ascented Beads as well. We love our laundry to smell good. So between these two things, we always have really yummy smelling laundry. I also picked up the big pack of Hormel Black Label Fully Cooked Bacon. You know, I usually buy this in my regular haul. This was only $14. And this is like six or seven packs at $4 or $5 a piece at the regular grocery store. So really excellent deal. Super convenient to just nuke it for a couple seconds and you have delicious crispy bacon. Here's a new find. I saw these when I was actually looking at the tortillas. These are from Mission. And these are the Car Balance brand. Kind of like the Car Balance tortillas, but these are pitas. So I thought that these were quite interesting. One pita is a hundred calories. It has nine grams of protein. So I thought that's pretty amazing because these are big full-size pitas. This was like $3. So I'm just going to throw them in the freezer and I'll make a sandwich out of them, pull one out of the freezer, thought make a sandwich. I'll share this with you guys kind of taste test situation in next Wednesday's What I Eat in a Day. And another new food find are these sausages. These are chicken sausage variety packs. So there's a honey, habanero, Monterey Jack cheese, a mozzarella roasted garlic with artichoke and then a Gouda and pear. That one sounds so good. So I picked these up. I may actually have one of these for dinner. Calories are going to range anywhere from about 100 and 90 down to about 150 and about 16 grams of protein per sausage leaf. So really, really good. Very excited about these. Again, just going to toss them in my freezer. String cheese because we were just about out. This was the last pack of string cheese. And then I also got Troy his Colby Jack cheese slices. This is his favorite slice cheese. And then for lunch meat, I did something a little bit different. I found some uncured pastrami. I always buy turkey or ham and this macro wise was really similar. And I thought it would just be something a little bit different rather than just plain old turkey and ham. So I am excited for that. And then for fruit, I grabbed a big thing of strawberries. These were under $6. And this was really the star of the show. Three packs of these raspberries, less than $3 a pack. I just paid $6 for one of these last week. So that was an incredible deal. So I decided to stock up and we'll do raspberries and strawberries for the week. So that is everything from Sam's Club. Let's go ahead and jump into the rest of the grocery haul. I was putting the groceries away and realize I forgot to show you that I also got some Canadian bacon at Sam's Club. Such a great deal. So here's the rest of my grocery haul for the week. I shopped at both Sprouts and Walmart. So let's go ahead and start with Walmart. I decided to grab Troy one more gallon of milk. I had to get 2% at Sam's Club, which isn't his favorite. So I did grab a gallon of 1%. And then he asked me to restock his frozen pizzas. These Sam's Choice thin crust pizzas are so incredibly delicious. There are all time favorite frozen pizza and they're about $6.  I wanna make KFC type of bowls this week. Since I didn't meal prep, I wanted to plan ahead a little bit for some healthy lunches and dinners. So I wanted to get a veggie to add to the bowl. And I think frozen green beans will be perfect. I also grabbed some little Hawaiian rolls. I'm making some turkey sliders this week for dinner. I grabbed one big drawer set. I wanna do a little organizing in my closet. I bought these great organizing bins off of Amazon for my workout pants, shorts and tanks. I'll take you guys in the closet and show you those and kind of what I do with this drawer set. But I need a little extra organization in my closet. So I picked that up. I needed orange juice for a dinner recipe and I just wanted a small bottle. I'm not a big juice drinker. So that's the perfect size. And then of course I needed gravy for the KFC bowls. My favorite Fairlife chocolate milk for my protein shakes. Love, love, love the clean simple eats protein and the chocolate milk. It's an amazing, amazing kind of milkshake protein shake. So, so good. And then I needed some buttermilk for a dinner recipe as well. Troy asked for razors. He just uses these really cheap razors. He uses them once and tosses them. So I decided to grab two packs for him. And then I needed some Kojita cheese for my meal prep. I'm actually really excited to get back to meal prep. So definitely stay tuned after the haul for what you'll see in Monday's meal prep and what's on my menu for dinners this next week. I needed some turkey breast for the sliders. I had bought the pastrami at Sam's Club. So I wanted turkey for these turkey sliders. And then for my lunch meal prep, I needed a pork roast. So I looked at the pork shoulder and the pork butt and actually the loin is a lot leaner and a lot less calories and points. And it's going into the crock pot. So it's going to get nice and soft and juicy. So I picked that up. I just thought save the point, save the fat, save the calories. And again, that is for my lunch meal prep. So that's everything that I picked up at Walmart. Let's go ahead and jump into sprouts. So the first thing I grabbed at sprouts is actually this European hot cereal. So this is kind of an oatmeal base and it has almonds and dates and raisins. It just sounded really good. I've never tried this before. And I'm always looking for a way to get some healthy carbs after my workout. So I am super excited for that.  And it was 3.99 at sprouts. So I picked him up a bad. Of course I got some more dried mango. This is one of my favorite things to have. I do count this as zero points. It's the same macros as fresh mango. And this is just a little bit more convenient and easy. I like to take this on the go. And actually it's a really good sweet treat as well. And then some Siggy's non-fat plain Greek yogurt. I'm almost out of my thought A. I've been making yogurt bowls. And I figured that was another really good breakfast. I could actually have maybe some oatmeal and a yogurt bowl for some protein for breakfast. Also for convenience, probably going to have this for lunch today. I picked up some roasted sweet potatoes and then my all white meat shredded chicken. Lola likes this in her kibble as well. Usually a couple of days after she goes to chemo, she doesn't eat very well.  They only have the small pack or I would have got the big one but I thought I could pair a nice healthy sweet potato with the chicken. My all time favorite crackers were on sale for 3.99 a box. These are 5.49. Chetties are amazing. They're kind of like a Cheez-It but better because they have protein and they're absolutely delicious. Nice clean ingredient. So I picked up two boxes. Hi, baby. You should go go attend. Doing good in my chemo. Yes, I am. Well, this one's here too. Everybody's always around for the grocery haul. I also got two more of the Vermont uncured pepperoni sticks. I love the way to get in some protein. And then they had this little bulk gummy thing for 99 cents. They're just little Easter rabbits. I thought this would be good as a little sweet treat. I usually don't only eat one or two of them and I couldn't pass it up for 99 cents. And then as always, just a ton of produce. So I, sorry, I sidetracked by her. So I have my organic spinach. This is for a recipe. And again, I've been trying to up my vegetable game and then Troy actually asked for oranges.  I needed a red onion and a couple of sweet onions. One apple for a recipe, some cilantro. I did grab a couple of bell peppers.  Again, really trying to get an extra veggie. So I have the mini cucumbers that I grabbed at Sam's Club.  And I thought that would be just a really good way to get in some extra vegetable, some pineapple chunks because these were on sale for $2. I'm actually going to eat those today with some cottage cheese. And then lastly, some fresh basil for a recipe. So that is everything that I picked up from Sprouts and Walmart. Let's go ahead and jump into what's on my menu for dinners and what you'll see in Monday's meal prep. So here's what is on my menu for the week. Today, Saturday, I'm actually going to dinner with my boot camp group and then tomorrow we're going to have leftovers. Monday, I'm making lemon basil chicken. You'll actually see that recipe in Wednesday's what I eat in a day. So stay tuned for that. Tuesday's leftovers. Wednesday, I'm making those turkey sliders. My lovely husband would like spaghetti on Thursday and then Friday again, we'll eat up any leftovers from earlier in the week. And then back to meal prep, which I'm really excited about. So here's what you'll see in Monday's meal prep. So for breakfast, I'm actually making savory breakfast muffins. Lunch is going to be carnita bowls. That's what I needed that pork roast for. And then I'm going to make pecan protein bars. I'm so excited for those as well. So stay tuned for all three recipes in Monday's meal prep. Thank you for joining me for this week's massive grocery haul. That was a lot of groceries, but we are stocked up and good to go for a while on the Sam's Club Costco items. So I feel really good about that. We've got some healthy choices in our house, lots of vegetables and fruit. It's going to be a great week. So if you enjoyed the haul, give it a thumbs up. Again, subscribe if you're not because I do a grocery haul every Saturday and again, upload five videos every week. Don't forget to check out the description box for nutrition coaching, links and discounts to my favorite things and come join our Facebook group. We'd love to have you. Happy Saturday and I'll see you tomorrow.


The compounding period determines when interest is credited. So compounded daily, interest would be paid every day. Compounded monthly, interest would be paid every month. Compounded centenially, interest would be paid every century. So how much would you get if you withdrew in the middle of a day, month, or century? To answer this question, we introduce the greatest integer function, which is the greatest integer less than or equal to x. So for example, let's find the greatest integer 1.98, 5, and 17 and 11-12. So 1.98 is the greatest integer less than or equal to 1.98. Well, that's going to be 1. The greatest integer less than or equal to 5 is 5. And since 17-12 is not quite 18, then the greatest integer less than or equal to will be 17. The greatest integer function is a way to simplify computations regarding compound interest. So suppose the bank pays compound interest at rate i per time unit. Then the accumulation function will be a of t equals 1 plus i raised to the power of the greatest integer less than t. For example, suppose a bank pays interest at an annual rate of 3% compounded. You deposit 1,000 on January 1st, find the amount on December 31st, and the amount on January 1st of the next year will assume a non-leap year. So our accumulation function will be... Now from January 1st to December 31st is one day less than one year, so it's 364 days. And this is 364-365 years, so we want to find a of this value. Since the greatest integer less than this fraction is zero, we have, and so 1,000 will become 1,000. Now if we wait one more day from January 1st to January 1st of the next year, is t equal to one year, so our accumulation function will be, and since the greatest integer less than or equal to one is one, we find, and so 1,000 will become 1,030. And notice that if you withdraw even one second before t equals one, you won't get any interest at all. And this is sometimes referred to as the penalty for early withdrawal. You don't get the interest you should have earned. Now let's consider another situation. Suppose interest is credited m times per time unit. The bank would credit im, that's im's, the interest each time. So the accumulation function should be where we retain the original time units. While this is what we should do, often we use the compounding interval as a new time unit, and this allows us to write our accumulation function as. So for example suppose a bank pays 8% interest compounded monthly, you deposit 1,000 on January 1st, how much can you withdraw on February 28th? Since the interest rate is annual but interest is compounded monthly, then our interest per compounding unit is 8% divided by 12, which will be, since the interest is compounded monthly, we'll measure t in months. So the accumulation function is, but remember, if it's not written down, it didn't happen. Because we're measuring t in months, we'll want to indicate that when we give our accumulation function. From January 1st to February 28th is t equals some, some number of months. Let's figure that out. Now from January 1 to February 1 is one month. And from February 1 to February 28th is 27 days. Since February has 28 days, usually, this is 27, 28 months. So from January 1st to February 28th is one and 27, 28 months. So we'll evaluate our accumulation function, and so the amount will be approximately. Now if interest isn't credited until a full compounding period passes, this motivates certain investment strategies and discourages others. For example, if interest is credited annually, investors are discouraged from withdrawing money before one year has passed, and that's because if you deposit $1,000, you'll only get back $1,000 if you withdraw any time before t equals one. At t equals one, you'll be able to withdraw $1,000 plus interest, but nothing more until t equals two. And so this means that investors are motivated to withdraw money the instant interest is credited. And what this means is that banks would have a long period of time where nobody was in, and then everybody would want all their money at once. So why not pay out interest every minute, or every second, or every shake? A shake is one 100 millionth of a second. So let's do some calculus. Suppose the annual interest rate is i compounded m times per year. The effective annual rate as m goes to infinity will be the limit, which turns out to be e to the i. So if interest at rate i is compounded continuously, then our accumulation function will be where t is measured in the same time units as the interest rate. In other words, we've gotten rid of that compounding factor. So suppose you deposit $100 in the Hilbert Bank, which pays 4% annual interest compounded continuously. Let's find the amount you'll have after 23 days. The accumulation function for 4% annual interest compounded continuously will be where t is in years.  And so $100 would become
