Welcome back to our lecture series Math 42-30 abstract algebra 2 for students at Southern Utah University. As usual, I'll be your professor today, Dr. Andrew Missildine. In lectures 26 and 25, we introduced the idea of algebraic extensions of fields. Particularly in lecture 26, we developed the theory of algebraic extensions, particularly talk about finite extensions, and how finite field extensions always are algebraic. In lecture 27, we wanted to develop the idea of an algebraically closed field, and thus define the notion of the algebraic closure of a field. Now, we'll do that in the subsequent videos of lecture 27. In this first video, I want to continue to develop some of the properties of algebraic extensions that we're going to need to talk about algebraically closed fields. The first one here, suppose we have a field extension E over F, then the subset E, so I should say the subset of E consisting of all algebraic elements over a field is itself a field. E could have a bunch of algebraic elements over F, but it could also have some transcendental ones. If we only focus on those elements of E, which are algebraic over F, that will give you a subfield of E, which will be a field extension of F, because it will necessarily contain F itself. That's because every element of F is algebraic over F. If we're looking for those elements of E, which are algebraic over F, then all of F will be contained in it. But let's argue why this subset is a subfield. This is then going to be the algebraic subfield of E over F. Imagine we have two elements, alpha and beta, which are algebraic over F contained inside of the field extension E. Then consider the field where you join the elements alpha and beta, and look at that as a field extension over F. Now, what we proved previously in lecture 26 is that the degree of a field extension factors. In particular, we can insert the intermediate field. F sits inside of the field F adjoin alpha which sits inside the field F adjoin alpha beta, like so. Using this intermediate field F adjoin alpha, we can factor the degree of the extension of F adjoin alpha beta over F in the following way.  For which clearly F adjoin alpha over F, because alpha is an algebraic element, this is going to be a finite number. This is gonna be a finite extension. We proved this previously in lecture 26 that a simple algebraic extension is always a finite extension. So this is gonna be a finite number. But what about this? Let's take F adjoin alpha beta over F adjoin alpha. Now, the degree of this extension cannot be worse than the degree of F adjoin beta over F, because if we take the minimal polynomial over here, so the minimal polynomial over F of beta, that has to be divided by, divisible by the F adjoin alpha, the minimal polynomial of beta right there. That is whatever the minimal polynomial of beta is when you have F alpha coefficients, that will divide the minimal polynomial of beta using F coefficients. The more elements you get, the smaller the minimal polynomial it could be. So therefore, the degree of the extension of F alpha beta over F alpha, it can't be worse than the degree of the extension of alpha of F beta over F. It's likely smaller, right? Depending on how alpha beta interact with each other, but it could be that it's just the same thing. And so we get this number right here. But like we said earlier with F alpha over F, F beta over F has to be finite because beta is algebraic over F. So it's minimal polynomial has a finite degree. That's the degree of the extension. So this degree is finite, which implies this one's finite and this one's finite. Well, the product of two finite numbers is gonna be finite. So this degree is finite. And like we showed before, if you have a finite extension, that means it's an algebraic extension, okay? And so this extension, when you take two algebraic elements and join them together over the base field, that it's also going to be an algebraic extension right here. Okay? For which this field F of join alpha beta, it contains alpha plus beta, alpha minus beta, it has alpha times beta, it has alpha divided by beta, because it's a field that has all of those elements. And which case, if you take any of those elements, like take the field F of join alpha times beta, like so, this is a subfield of F of join alpha and beta, but it's an extension field of F, that is, it's this intermediate field that sits in between the two. Now, since this is a finite degree over F, everything inside of it has to also be a finite extension and finite extensions are always algebraic extensions. So this tells us that alpha times beta is an algebraic element. And by similar reasoning here, this is gonna give us that alpha divided by beta is an algebraic element, alpha plus beta, alpha minus beta is an algebraic element. So if you take all of these operations on algebraic elements, they are still gonna be algebraic because F of join that element is a finite extension. And so this tells you that if you take the set of algebraic elements, it's closed under addition, it's closed under subtraction, it's closed under multiplication, division, and therefore we got a subfield, thus proving the theorem that we came out to prove here. And so then I'm gonna present a second theorem here that let K be an algebraic extension over E and let E be an algebraic extension over F. Then the theorem says that K is an algebraic extension over F. This theorem I'm gonna state, but I'm gonna leave this as a proof to the viewer here. And these properties we just proved here will be very useful as we then define the notion of a algebraically close field, which we'll do of course in the next video.


How's everyone doing? Good? Excited? Good, good. For you to be as excited by the end of the day, but it's great to see you all back in person. I'm Gabriel Columbro, executive director of Finos, and I'm very excited to invite you to welcome you to the sixth open sourcing finance forum. Last year we were able to do our conference in the sort of two weeks between Delta and Omicron. This year I'm glad to see folks back in person, and we changed our venue.  But this is an exciting year for us, and I hope you're going to find it as well. We've been experiencing a lot of growth, not just Finos, but open sourcing financial services, and we really think we are at the cost of being able to build the new generation of financial applications on open source. So hopefully throughout the day you learn more about our projects. I see many new faces, many old faces, not old as in age, of course. So in case you were wondering, this is the sixth open source in finance forum. You're not seeing that double. We have renamed the conference earlier in the year in a reflection that partly that the strategy of open source is much more understood in finance, and so we don't really have to message as much strategy level, and really we are becoming the recognized umbrella for any open source project in financial services. And that's especially, I showed this slide for those of you who were in London earlier this year, especially interesting to see from where we started. You know, it's almost unbelievable looking five years ago when we were 30 known very diverse folks in a room, and even more amazing if you think that, you know, that's who was gonna, who was pitching this.  But you know, it's about the substance. So look, today we are 66 members strong. We have over actually 50 projects in the last few days across really all financial services. I mean, this is a huge testament as to the value of what this community can bring to the table. I want to start with thanking our sponsors. We have today over 10 sponsors really making this possible. So a huge shout out to all of our open source and finance forum sponsors today. A couple of housekeeping notes before we get started. You can build your own schedule. We have five tracks. Help me out five or six. We have our project exposed. There's a lot of material you might want to pick and choose. And then help us make some noise. Engaging with us helps promoting the message and the visibility of all of, you know, our activities. And finally, take a look at the health and safety requirements and the events code of conduct. And with that, I want to welcome on stage our chair emeritus. Dov Katz is managing director of Morgan Stanley. He's been a force behind the foundation since the very beginning. Dov, can you give us a state of the community? Thanks, everyone. And thanks for joining us at the open source and finance forum or as I like to call it, FTC three con. Let's start off with some opening remarks. Good morning, everyone. And welcome to the open source. I'm not going to go for that. By the way, these are very credible remarks. And if you do use them, I could have just left. And it's pretty decent. So a lot to say about that in a different session, but really illustrating the power of open source this week. So from a bold vision five years ago and gab brought it up. I posted this in the summer, I think, cleaning up a desk and found the old pitch book that gab showed that lovely picture of himself presenting in the first conference to where we are today. It's clear that Phinos is the place for us in the industry to have as an ecosystem to collaborate. There is no question about it. So I want to give you a state of the community. Phinos is growing fast. The activity in open source and financial services is growing fast. And there doesn't seem to be a limit to the amount of collaboration that can take place, both within us as a group of companies in Phinos, but also in the broader Linux foundation ecosystem. So in a few minutes, gab is going to give more details. But I want to share with you a couple of pieces of information to highlight both the level of the community growth that we've had, the high state of the community, and also the testament that this is really providing value to our organizations. So this year, we want to start with our members. So this year, we've had our record number of members join the foundation. And it's not so much the number of members that joined. It is the diversity of the different types of members. We've got members in the sell side, the buy side, we have technology providers, we have payment processors, we have regulation technology related companies. And this is a true testament to the breadth of different opportunities available for us to collaborate in the industry. And the list goes on. And this is not a complete list as well of what's in the pipeline. Some may close in the next week or two, so I'll let Gavin announce those as they happen. And now let's move on to, while members are great, activity is what drives the value. And so we'll talk a little bit about contribution, and then we'll talk about consumption as well, adoption. So contribution, we've seen massive growth. You'll see in some of the presentations why I was kind of joking about this being FTC3Con. There's a lot going on here. But right now, contributor strength is very high. You need amount of contribution from financial services, still needs, then total contribution with the top plan for traders on banks. And that's very impactful because it's showing this is not just people that are trying to push products to us. This is a bunch of most of the existing value organizations sharing and contributing to China. And we also had a bunch of advisors trying to talk about that as well. But as much of those contributions are cool, but we can all brag about them and share with our technology community, it's the adoption of the least efforts. And now we're talking about using these blocks to create a lot of value. A couple of interesting ones here is mentioned, perspective, jib and orient has a web assembly, high performance, the utilization library, massive growth, this year and since its inception when 30 years old. And we also had FTC3, which we heard about a lot today as well. A lot of world will be able to use standard and be released, all that we're all talking about in more detail, but it is another huge example of a major value provided. And I know we've done this, one of the key drivers is the hand-to-hand bi-site and cell-site, new projects, a lot of them, and this is mostly what we're 11 projects, the list road, we have that. And similar to the membership, this is not just about members, this is also about the variety of projects that join. We have projects focusing on some of our four fingers like FTC3, and we have similar ones with data visualization, but we also have new space, especially really wrong, a great kind of space. First of all, I'm not a single outboard extended, we just pleased that he would weigh the coverage ratio, which is the first could fully function on the presentation, you have the coverage ratio, you see it from the LCR, you see it from the heat finish technology involvement source, and that's a collaboration of the business problem with CRT. And then we also want to talk about can you get out of the other new projects coming out that like the legend, a lot of them, the system, are here about that, kind of moving on. And it's really exciting, new area where we're really seeing how they can take over the grades that that's going to feed the CRT to them. So talking about seeing how we're going to hear from the industry bodies, that they're coming out to give keynotes as well from each of them is, is a nice, but this is a very big deal for us. So the first time we have three industry groups getting together, three in a dream to collaborate in the side of a new source point of view. They are seeing the value in developer first way, it's about the box, a lot of things to solve, standardize and become a great model and they are using, so there's two elements of that. One, that they're taking the open source punch and that is the opinion of itself, they lost them to any trace of issues. And the other is that their first call after assigning it over, we've been in each other's library, was the thing of the same game. This is the place to go to the neutral repository that's allowed for the most library. And that validates those across the source. So it's really exciting to show my conviction. We've got a lot of people here, I think it was a regular tournament, I was looking at numbers right before. I think it would be possible to use the record turnout, record registration, since we started this. But more than that, it's being programed. A lot of people are going to have a very important site where they go. The content today is unlike any of the conferences I've ever been to, but I think it was an issue in the past. So I encourage you to split up, take notes, figure out what you can do for people's lock-up and all of them. I'm really excited about it. Hang it over to beyond the Toronto content just in case. Thank you so much. Thank you to all of us. We're really excited. So we had a couple of exciting announcements, and I'm going to share with you what's going on. Looking forward, we'll wait. It's going to be three years now. And the time might be as we just get it started. Because the reality is not just the game of it. It's kind of being grown fast. Maybe the movement will go away. So it's financial services. We went out the five years ago. We had a different conversation. It's not in terms of the size of the problem and the breadth of the project. You wouldn't get a resource in money. You wouldn't get a major cover if you weren't, we was living tonight in the finance class. You can't have recordators from the world. And you can't have institutions to engage in our business. So this is not just that kind of thing. So some of you might remember last year, we launched our first state of open source and financial services 30. We are divided. Today we announced the second state of open source and financial services 30. And you might wonder, so what's the year? It's the same announcement that we last year. But the premise that thanks to all of our partners at the Javons Foundation research, we now have year-to-year, we have a competitive information. And the finance are really interesting. As I said, this is not about finance, but a catalyst for what's in the industry, but we are seeing across the board financial solutions allowing an inquiry that develops more on it to consume, but finally to contribute to what we're still seeing. And this really matches with the qualitative information that we gathered this year. I can count already over 20 financial institutions who have rolled out an open source program office this year. And I'm not going to spoil the whole panel that follows me with this survey, with talking about the survey, but the reality is that when you have an Ospo, you're much more likely to get value and to be able to engage in open source safely and efficiently. This is one of my favorite ones. Again, sorry for stealing the next panel thunder, but commits are growing across the board. This is not just in finance. This is, again, globally, we work with our Platinum Member GitHub to pull out these numbers. This type of growth is only the beginning because the firms, again, across the whole value chain are seeing value in open source. And one of the values that they're seeing and they think they should engage in open source more for is improving security. I'm sure it's not lost on you that we lived in a post-Log4Shell era. Many of you have dealt with it throughout the year. We have a really interesting session today from the Sonotype CTO's Brian Fox, which is an authority in this field. And I actually want to say something. I think this industry has stepped up when it comes to responding to Log4J in two major ways. 97% of financial institutions fixed the Log4J three days after the patch was released. And that talks to the consumption side of the house. You need to have professional consumption in place. This is one of the industries that have the highest risk involved. But on the other side, we have seen institutions engaging not only in finance, but upstream in projects like the Open Source Security Foundation, really starting to understand that it takes a village to secure our open source supply chain. This is something that will continue investing as finals and I encourage you to do the same as members. Last spoiler here, as I said, ultimately, this growth is driven by a much higher perceived value even in the last 12 months. And again, much of this is related to having a structured internal organization like an OSPO that helps directing traffic and helps bubbling up the value at the executive and strategy level. What kind of value? I want to be clear here. We have learned as a vertical foundation that Open Source doesn't deliver value just, and I don't mean as a limitation here, a technology in IT value, your typical cost savings, developer and talent development, vendor lock-in prevention. I think we're all familiar with those beautiful side effects of Open Source. But we are seeing value being delivered across the whole value chain and this is going to be a theme that I hope comes very clear today. We have our project exposed, again another spoiler, to really show you how our projects are used in production in improving time to market, in directly connecting market counterparts, in improving your regulatory efficiency, your regulatory implementations. And of course, as Dov hinted to, being a neutral place for intellectual property that this intermediates either of you and creates a true commons that we can all invest in. But it all starts with maturity, I hinted to that. The value and the ROI that you can get out of Open Source is wildly dependent on your internal maturity. There's certainly things that you can do by consuming and evaluating, but really the full value is unleashed when you're able to contribute. So today, to my second announcement, we're happy to announce that we are rolling out an Open Source maturity model that was built in collaboration with our Gold member, Wipro, that really helps you assess your organization's organizational maturity when it comes to Open Source across many different dimensions, from strategy to management to consumption. It is a survey, it's online, it's free. We would like to start building not only a base that can help your organization grow, meaning not only will assess where you are, but also recommend how can you move forward, but really a better picture of where the industry is as far as maturity goes. So you got the QR code there, you can point to it, take the survey right now. I want to switch gears here and I'm definitely going long, so let me switch to a fast gear. The trend that I'm seeing this year is that finally we're seeing FinTechs waking up to this idea of commercial open source or using open source as part of the go-to-market and business model. The article on the left is from Andriessen Horowitz. If you haven't read it, I suggest you take a look. I'm glad they're finally aligned to the message. But really this is an important element because we need their participation and even their commercialization of our open source projects to really create the virtuous cycle. We start from project, we have commercial entities commercializing it and largely if they're based on our projects, they will likely reinvest in growing our community, whether it's by developer time or contributions. Look, don't get me wrong, there are some examples of companies that are starting this way. I personally am involved in a few of them and it's exciting. I think there's a huge potential to really start creating building blocks that are not just available in the open but they provide professional support. And on this, I think one of the main factors though that I want you to be aware is the concept of open washing. How many of you know the word open washing? Yeah, not that many. So I keep seeing in the industry a conflation of the word open. There's open banking, open finance, they're very appropriate users of that word, don't get me wrong. But I continue to see the word open source being overloaded in a way that really has nothing to do with open source. And I think one of the roles of the foundation that we can play is making sure that for you as consumers, we are a trusted entity where you know that if something is in finesse, is truly open source, is an under open source license, is developed under an open governance, which brings me to my next presenter, which is our senior technical architect Rob Moffat, who's actually going to talk what we are doing in such a mature standard like FDC3 and what roles foundation can play for you. Welcome Rob. Hi everyone. So yes, it's really exciting here to be stood here in New York and to tell you I've got two interesting pieces of news on FDC3. So I'm going to give you a quick recap, but it sounds like pretty much everyone knows what this is. FDC3 is a standard for desktop interop.  You want all those apps to work together. So you can say show me a graph of this stock and move from one app to another. And this is what FDC3 solves. So this slide here shows the basic parts. We've got the spec on the left. And in London, we announced the new version of the FDC3 spec, which is 2.0. So we have two versions of that. We have various vendors providing desktop agents, which kind of acts as the postman between all the different apps that I've talked about. And there are various vendors. And we also have FDC3 sale now, which is a Finos project, which is an open source desktop agent. And we have app directories as well in the apps and an app directory being like a collection of apps that you're going to use. So there's a lot of bits of the puzzle here. There's a lot going on. And one of the problems that people have is how do you keep these things in line? How do you know that everyone's going to build stuff that works across this suite? And so as a user, you want to know that if you're using an app, it's going to work in your desktop agent. Or if you're an app writer, you want to know that it's going to work on all the different desktop agents. And again, we've got different versions of the spec. Do you know you're going to work on the different versions of the spec? So how do we solve this problem? How do we align all these together? And so we've been working hard on the FDC3, 1.2 and 2.0 desktop agent conformance programs. We announced them in the summer. And today, I'm really pleased to say that five months later, we actually have the first 1.2 conforming desktop agents. And we're going to announce those later on today in the awards part of the program. But the way this works is that effectively, the conformance program is a suite of apps that talk to each other and exercise that whole part of the stack. So yes, we're also very close to having 2.0 conformance testing working. We'll be looking at that at the start of 2023. So the second bit of news I want to talk about is the Finos FDC3 app directory. So this is something, as I said on the previous side, there's lots of different app directories out there. Every different installation of FDC3 is a different directory. And what we wanted to do is provide a common one, a place where people can start. And to fill this gap, we've created directory.fdc3.finos.org. And this is kind of a seed, if you like. We want to try and get a collection of apps together, put them in the open and allow people to use them. So at the moment, we have chart IQ, symphony, nextJ, connectify, adaptable, and obviously the FDC3 conformance framework. We've got all of those in the Finos app store. So yeah, check it out. You can have a writer PR if you have an app you want to add. We're hoping that this will act as a seed and people will start to contribute apps maybe from behind their firewalls. We'll get some apps from some of the big FDC3 users out there. And yes, if you want to see this in action, just to plug a talk today, Nick Colbert and Seb Mbarek will be doing a presentation of the Finos FDC3 sale desktop agent later on today at 3.15. And that actually uses the Finos app directory to provide all its apps. So it all joins together. So yeah, please come along to that. And yes, I think that's basically it. Those two things, directory and conformance. Thank you very much. Back to you, Gab. Thank you, Rob. Yeah, so you got to stick together, stick with us until the end of the day to know who is actually certified, suspense. And so before I wrap with 15 seconds left, I, what's on the horizon? What are we looking forward to? Besides continuing investing on you know, supply chain security and providing the highest standards of security and compliance to our projects, we are not oblivious to the fact that we want to produce financial services grade open source. I think there's a lot for us to do. First of all, we continue to expand globally. You've seen our logos. We think there's a huge potential for open source to build bridges not only within the United States, but of course across the different regions. I recently have taken a second role as the general manager of Linux Foundation Europe. So if you are interested in collaborating across the Atlantic, this is a really great place to do so. I talked about the importance of creating a commercial ecosystem or fostering an open source, open core, SaaS services, whatever business model you have that is based on open source because this is going to drastically accelerate our growth and the support that many of organizations that are maybe not ready just yet to consume open source directly can interact. This is a huge opportunity for all of you here, whether you are a services company, a vendor company, a finter company, there's a first move advantage here. This is just the beginning. And then finally, we'll hear it more later in the day, but we're starting to really onboard projects that can make a drastic change. As I said, not only at IT level, but truly as to how this industry, the very functioning of this industry. Last year we announced an open digital currency initiative that we'll be following up on this year. Of course, the CDM onboarding, that is something that touches across the board. And again, with my Linux Foundation hat on, we're seeing even collaborations that are across industries. The Open Wallet Foundation is bringing together not only finance, but automotive, healthcare. This is the convening power that we can put at your disposal within us and the Linux Foundation. So I think it's going to be exciting, but it's going to be depending on you and your contributions. So as we look to today, there's something for everyone. I'm actually very excited that this year we have an OpenJS in finance track with some amazing speakers from our sister foundation, OpenJS. We have FDC3con and so many other great, you know, hopefully inputs for your 2023. We have a round table for our Ospo folks. Talk to James McCloud, the director of community, if you'd like to be involved. Stick around for the award and for the closing reception. And yes, we do have an after party. And I know some of you have received some unofficial invitation. This is the one and only finance after party. So make sure that you stick around or that you register to actually show up. As I wrap, full three minutes late, this is the slide that I showed in London two months ago, three months ago, July I guess. It all starts from you. But it struck me that it's not just about you sharing your opinions today and you sharing where do you want this community to go. But OpenSource gives you a way to actually turn those opinions into actions. Raise an issue. Raise a pull request. Even if it's not code, your input in terms of use cases and strategies and areas that are a priority for you next year will greatly help to focus our direction and, you know, in turn deliver more value back to you. So thank you so much. I hope you'll have a great time today and let me bring in the next speakers. Thank you.


Hello, you have tuned in to Think Tech Hawaii's human-humane architecture and we're broadcasting live and after that forever YouTubeed from our tropical rainforest jungle mountain island of Oahu, Hawaii and the next picture shows us that there's a challenge to that because increasingly our foothills of our forested mountains look like that. So the inherent sort of dilemma and related potential we're going to bring in a very special guest today all the way across the neighboring continent and that's number three please. It's Pat Donahue. Welcome Pat, great to have you on the show and Pat is actually from the place where our producer Zuri is a native from and that is from where Pat, where are you broadcasting from? We're broadcasting from Duluth, Minnesota. Awesome. For the visual it's at the head of the lakes, we're at the head of the Great Lakes where the most western ocean going port in the continent of the United States.  I work at the University of Minnesota, Duluth our organization has been recently updated our name we're currently the wood products and bioeconomy initiative and I'm a program manager of wood products within that initiative and yes I've been exploring and developing and trying to perfect the art of wood cooking for the last 15 years. Awesome and just walk through a little bit number four a little bit of the history of the islands here which originally were heavily wooded until early in the 1800s the Chinese got really interested in the specific wood which is sandalwood and they got crazy about it and Hawaiians got interested in making a deal and they sold it all at least the Chinese made beautiful shrines out of it but sandalwood is gone and so is the next picture koa wood is an indigenous wood species there's very little left maybe enough and even that's questionable for little accessories like this one here. So number six is us having a crazy increase in population here to be continued we're short on 60,000 housing units and that's the predominant way we're building this is our students checking out one of the builders building up their track homes a stick framed and basically then sheathed all coming shipped in from the Pacific Northwest all termite treated there so there's no locality there's no specificity of our culture and in fact business anymore here. So we go to number seven there's two shows we're back in the old urban transcendence days that we refer to and one of them is here with one of the leading scientists in Germany at the Institute of Wood Technology with whom I've been working ever since and that would be picture eight one and a half decades ago where our family business was in a very exclusive way case studying in this field of thermally modified timber the abbreviation we're going to using from now is TMT and that's explosive because that's also to be understood here as the telescope up on Mauna Kea so this is not it this is different here and we've been case studying that and our producer will walk us through here through 10 images where we've been testing it through different typologies starting with education like school in this case here coming up kindergartens coming up transit oriented multi-story dwellings down to single-family residences down to coffee shops and bakery stores and these projects have been you know test stood with the test of time especially the very first project the El Mazie school is now 15 years young or old and in these pictures you see it's in its original condition but more importantly how it's been holding up over over the over the times which is very important you have a very great project coming up which is a museum in Minnesota and they have honored you in basically doing the rain screen with a thermally modified pine as our red pads so the El Mazie school is a great post occupancy evaluation evidence-based design case study to look at and to see how that stuff is actually holding up right but while we're walking through the images please in a short summary tell us when you first got in touch with TMT once you got hooked and ever since you got addicted by it and tell us a little bit about that your background at great thank you very much back in 2001 I was approached by the Finnish government they had been developing this technology since 1994 and they wanted to export not only their wood products but they also wanted to export their technology and so they contracted with me to help them for several years go on and ten trade shows and basically just be the early adopter storyteller and I and I did that for several years and in that I really gained a lot of knowledge but I also gained a lot of contacts in a great network of producers around the world and that that in itself led me to believe that this was a the technology one of the biggest advantages of a technology is it renders the wood hydrophobic it's what wood loves water after cooking wood you make you render it so it doesn't love water and if you don't have a water as part of the formula all of a sudden you find a much more durable product it's much more dimensionally stable the care-resistant and and it does add a nice umber brown color to it yeah and you do that that's what we already previewed a number of three which we could bring this back you do this in a kiln where the oxygen is sort of taken out so there's not you know oxygen is going to fire up the wood and it's going to be you know of combustible nature so you make sure you can cook it you can you can burn it to a point just before it catches fire and goes away is that correct right there's a there's a couple of ways that you there's a couple of technologies in fact I think there's about eight technologies worldwide in general you you cook the wood up to a combustion level but you do it in an oxygen-starved environment so it doesn't ignite and the my preferred method is using the autoclave method I often tell people a simply simple analogy is simple analogy is to convection oven is a more standard method where we use a pressure cooker method and again they both are starved the oxygen and it allows to achieve that that cooked wood effect in a relatively short period of time yeah and maybe a short historic preview because you know many most things in you know in life have been around for a while so we can say that many indigenous cultures have sort of more by trial and error found out once they invented fire they were holding wood into fire and at some point you know they took it out before it caught fire and they experienced that so the northern European countries the Vikings have sort of charts which is slightly different but somehow similar the the extras of their wood with boats with that the Europeans like like our ancestors have treated their oak pile foundations for buildings coming closer to us and actually you being in Native American talking about a producer and you know a country is that the errors of the peaks of you know their their weapons the Native Americans have done that to harden and and improve the peak of their error of their bows and and coming to us here closer is where we're dominated by Asian culture and informed in the best way the Japanese have done that and are still doing that to their tea cups and and so it's a technology that's been indigenously invented and then somewhere in the 1930s if I'm not mistaken you guys and me Americans and Germans have picked up on it and try to develop in an industrial commercial scale but the war killed that and the chemical industry and plastic took over and and then you connected the dots earlier where the Scandinavians basically picked it up again and store and so and still like wood as some of the largest paper and wood manufacturers have brought it to a Roger rather large scale and in fact the very first two projects first was a still like wood application and the second one was store and so if we can go to a picture number 16 and and talk about sort of this analogy of we can say cooking wood this was baking wood so we were consulting national organization of bakery stores how to innovate their tradition and so we use thermally modified pine here as to create these these showcases and shelves in the back and number 17 is a coffee shop where so we made the analogy of roasting beans and roasting wood and the next picture number 18 gets us too closer to us in Hawaii because we actually have a small but exclusive coffee culture here and and business so there's another analogy and number 19 basically is the point where we met pet right at some point we were doing things on our own not even knowing about each other but here's someone that we had on the show a couple shows ago met the bore who was one of the first ones and now so when you guys look close to the screen I always credit the manufacturer the product of the wood this was cambia wood so he was one of the first ones who exemplified demonstrated it in a high architectural excellence way and somewhere at that point we met pet and you very soon after that initiated the very first American North American TMT forum in Princeton West Virginia right right and Charlie after that was that was a really a pivot because shortly after that we were we were contacted by others who had similar interest in from the US and the Canadian side and we were able to execute a project that ended in 1914 with a national standard performance standard a guidance standard written and published in the American Wood Protection Association book of standards so yeah when that was real that's really a pivot because now we have a we have a place we have we have a architectural standard that we can refer designers to exactly great and if we can maybe I hold this piece here a little bit into the camera here this is a part of a branch which you gave me many years ago and it demonstrates a pretty a cool and an obvious how this works that actually different to a previous more chemical pressure treatment systems were based upon the sort of you know system you only get into the wood to a certain depth whereas this one here if you cook it long enough just like another analogy is obviously your bread or is your cake right if you bake it all the way through which you better do with a cake you get it all the way through which dough has to get to be delicious and so the wood is so you can do this either with even a piece of a you know slice of a trunk or a slice of a branch so you can process the wood before you cut it into boards and lumber or you can already cut it into pieces and we should also mention that one you talked about decay resistance against most insects and and chemical biological attacks but also another advantage is that it makes the wood much more stable and and sort of is resistant to bending right yeah it really it does affect mechanical properties to a certain degree and it depends on the species but one of the points that you you touched on is it's it's usefulness it's the the technology not only can be used to treat wood throughout the cross sections it's really important that it it's species independent any species could work where in a many of the chemical treating processes a very limited number of species work and the chemicals themselves really only penetrate the sapwood areas where this is throughout the cross section so it really is a is a much more robust deep penetration all right we're going to take a quick one minute commercial break here and then we're going to be back with our master cook pet Donahue and his outlook on you who I would see in a minute I've got the Beagle sisters here with a healthy tip we encourage you to enjoy the food you eat this holiday season and keep it local and healthy yeah eat the rainbow and if you need any produce come to the red barn on the North Shore Aloha my name is John why hey and I actually had a small part to do with what's happening today served actually in public office but if you don't already know that here's a chance to learn more about what's happening in our state by joining me for a talk story with John why hey every other Monday thank you and I look forward to your seeing us in the future Aloha and happy new year it's 2017 please keep up with me on power up Hawaii where Hawaii comes together to talk about a clean and just energy future please join me on Tuesdays at one o'clock Mahalo welcome back to our master cook pet Donahue talking about the new Hawaii wood which we're actually doing now and we can bring in number 20 as as an image here and so with the huge demand in housing here this is a project we showed a couple of shows ago this is called stratosphere it's trying to make something meaning dwelling housing from scratch so something out of nothing because we're very limited in resources which we already talked about so this is using an abundant sort of more contemporary building material which is cargo steel slash shipping containers but shipping containers get really really hot being exposed to the sun and so we need to put a sunscreen on and the sunscreen here is a TMT family modified timber but then the audience might say well wait a minute didn't we just talk about there is no wood left on the island and to the going to the next picture that is true certainly but there is actually certain woods at the very bottom right that we have imported and they take over the invasive and this is how BC has one species it's very it's very brittle so when storms come they come down and block the roads and they take over and and and and suppress native species so we want to get rid of them and we can reuse them and as a as a sunscreen where there's no structural integrity demanded we can we can very well work with that so that would be one application I would think that sunscreen it's great application great because it's already pre-cooked so it's like you know it's it's pre-aged so we'll do a good job the next picture is another project that we keep promoting which is Primitiva which is our proletarian people power tower on this number 22 here an inside view where this time not on the outside but on the inside these which we call slices of paradise are going to be basically master carpenter out of a native species there's also monkey pot is another invasive species here that we can certainly repurpose for that matter number 23 is exciting that's that was our start we've worked together a pat for some years all my all you know you accompanied my journey from the Midwest fellow Midwestern and through the hot arid times in Arizona through here in Hawaii and that was the beginning in Hawaii where we both had with our student team developed and all these projects either showed our teamwork with the emerging generation here this was the age home very similar to research you doing on the side trying to find and that would be a show on his own which you probably should do about indigenous contemporary dwelling this is for Hawaiians here and the next picture is whereas the frame might be out of concrete but number 24 is going to show us something else at the very top and you started out with solid timber team team that but then you moved on to what which we see here pat well we we we were able to get a national science foundation grant to explore using TMT and engineered wood products and we definitely think in especially in the tropical areas you're going to need panel products and we believe this renders the a very unique panel product where you could have a boring treated um TMT treated piece of OSB so what's kind of a what we can take a commodity generic commodity and we can convert it into a especially durable material for the for the tropical areas I love how you said that I would say it more provocatively I said the most sort of bastardized and and uncultured piece of American engineering in wood which is oriented straight board where you take you don't trust wood anymore you chip it down to shavings and then you throw it into glue and so it becomes sort of wood in slavery right but you take that piece and I have a I have that actual piece here and I think it works pretty good in the light here you see that almost velvety glow so it looks very cheap and very sort of low low end through this magic process which by the way is using nothing but heat right so we're not there's no chemical there's nothing is just heat so it's an all natural process the basic process is just heating in a controlled environment and I acquired here precious piece of koa and so you know you can see this like you know this could be an evolution this is not around anymore it's done it's cut down it doesn't grow back that fast so we can basically substitute that with something that we create here right and if we go back to the picture 24 the most delicate thing is always that people say well okay you're you're talking you're all good you're all ecological you're all healthy but you got to basically use energy to make that so how good is that so what do we say about that as an answer pat yeah I mean it's the energy component is is a real part of this and in a production in a production scenario you you know wood products and that's the advantage of wood product industry has typically there's a lot of waste wood and typically people would use the waste wood for the base heat and we try and minimize the amount of intense heat that we use in in the process and that again that's why I like the closed system because the the the need for the intense heat is at a shorter duration and it's a less energy impact but it's it's it's something I think in the future we can find other alternatives for this but at this point you're you're still it is a process heat project so we are going to use some energy but we I think if you compare that versus the energy used to create and produce and ship chemicals I think we have a good story exactly and because of its compellingness the going back to the picture 24 the middle row is provocatively saying what if we you know talk to Pele who's the goddess of the volcano and we we're going to make a deal with her and saying why don't we use your heat and and this is like you know if there's some fundamentally originated you know resistance just like to the other TMT by the way the telescope then we could negotiate with the goddess and the gods of wind and the water and the ocean right so there's so many multiple multitude of of renewable energy sources on our islands here so there should be no problem we're going to show two more projects number 25 is is just sort of out of the creator's box these are our most recent emerging talents here this is Juhyeong park and a preview of his the art project here creating the forester's home potentially for the island and beyond also back in his native korea where he's from and number 26 is is what's also a permanent background picture here this is nick chivitano coming to say i want to build the most healthy and the most affordable home and he's pairing a TMT as as much as Juhyeong is with an innovative technology that's called cross nail timber which we can't cover in this show so we're going to have to make another show about that one but for these here i have and nick was building this out of actual what samples and i hold this here in my hand this here is also an abundant resource on the big island that's eucalyptus that someone had planted and thought make a big buck but it didn't work out because he didn't estimate the shipping cost correctly so that's how he sent it to you guys and that's how it came out so once again an absolutely cultivation of a personal and i know you like it'll be a different show but i i i really do believe combining these technologies TMT technologies with cross laminated timber technology for homes in Hawaii using plantation growing eucalyptus has a bright future perfect or we have another wood species we never ran out of ideas here this is iron wood also a very abundant not very liked wood species that's how it looks like in real that's how you make it look once you applied your master cook skills pet we're getting close to the end of the show but not before sharing your biggest dream and that has to do with the ocean and we got to squeeze in that one thing you know once TMT treated most insects and termites and most other things other than termites don't like the wood but termites are still uh attracted to it so we might have to apply one last step which is sea water curing as we say which is our experimentation with with uh with bore aiding a natural way of bore aiding and we get to the end of the show so we can't touch on that but i want to conclude with this last picture which is your ultimate dream here for us in Hawaii what is that and that's a certainly modified surfboard exactly exactly no it's a hydrophobic material that will just keep me afloat and it keeps you afloat and it keeps the board on float because once again in a nutshell we extract the the crystal water out of the cell right and that's an irreversible process that's the architect sort of dilettantly speaking and and that way it it will be lighter right and it will float better and so it's an ideal material for so many applications that we unfortunately don't have time to talk about anymore but this was a good introduction and more to come thank you mr a new hawaii wood master cook uh highly appreciated talking to us and giving us hope that this could be a potential material for our future demands all right thank you very much i i do appreciate it have a nice evening you too and thank you for staying up so late back in the beautiful heartland thank you thank you all right bye


I'm very excited to be part of this Haydn project and provide my fingerings for the if-let major sonata I just played. Haydn wrote 55 sonatas for the piano and I think most of the musicians know only about a dozen of them and I think this new edition would be a great chance for us to get to know the online sonatas and to explore the joyful and adjuvant music making of Haydn.

It's energy from what you eat. Eat high-energy foods. That's fat. Be in fat burning mode often and Eat happy things that are healthy. So that's grass-fed meat That means you don't want to eat a cow that was tortured and fed all soy and corn because it has hormones in it You don't want to eat and it has fats in it. You don't want to eat. Before we get into using your body I'm going to give you a few hints Butter will satisfy you and keep you going all day long Problem is a lot of people fly. This is a soap dish. It costs 99 cents. When you put butter in a soap dish It looks like soap. In fact, you could even argue legally with anyone who wanted to say otherwise that you use it to cleanse your skin Therefore it is soap because soap is made of fat mixed with lie You can carry this in your carry-on luggage even if you don't check your bags you can bring it on to an airplane and it's legal and Then you've got basically a half a pound of butter That'll keep you going if you ration it for at least a week. I do that I went to Asia. I brought a pound of butter with me It wasn't the only fat that ate by a long shot, but it meant I could have butter in my coffee every morning I could skip breakfast The other quick and dirty thing eggs You don't have to cook them. You crack them into a glass and take them rocky style If you need protein takes no time at all if it tastes basically like milk You just need to get over the thing in your head that says you and if that doesn't work the coffee maker in Your room will make boiling water. So brew just water with no coffee and it put two eggs in there Let them sit in hot water for a while you get soft boiled eggs in your hotel room I never waste time on going out to breakfast unless it's a meeting It also saves me 25 bucks that what I would have spent on a buffet that was full of crappy foods I get to put that towards the steak and lobster dinner on my expense report. It's not a bad deal From not in business meetings or if I'm in flight. These are the primary food sockeye salmon It's smoked people on the airplane don't like when you eat it. I don't really care I don't like what they eat either Most of them smell bad Suckeye salmon is the lowest mercury salmon It's also got the best fatty acids because they feed primarily on small krill Stuff keeps without refrigeration for quite a while not several days. You can get sick from eating bad fish But if you slide it into your your laptop bag next to your laptop or just in the other part of it You can eat that for a day or two two is pushing it But if you do that, you've got all the protein and fat you need to keep running for essentially 24 hours straight If you're looking for a few carbs Hail Mary is available across the US.  This is an equal amount of fat And actually it's 10 grams of fat and 4 grams of sugar per serving although one of these is 3 of those So I would not feel terrible about myself at all if I eat one of these for lunch in a hurry It's a dessert. It tastes awesome and chocolate is a health food with all kinds of anti-inflammation benefits The final thing you need to know about is butter Unsalted Kerrygold. This is the silver label is the preferable one in the US and the rest of the world Especially Asia you want anchor brand the reason you choose these ones is that these cows ate grass It's more important that they eat grass than that they're organic because a cow that eats organic corn and organic soy It makes organic crap butter that you don't want to eat. That's inflammatory The stuff tastes good. It's actually yellow naturally and I go through a ton of this In fact, you can use it in ice cream All right, where'd I put my remote control? There we go Learning to use your body You have muscles. You don't know how to control a ton of them along your spine the back of your arm When you do multiple compound movements, you'll oftentimes find some but We also store emotional tension in muscles and if you have a muscle that's tense all the time it might be tense because of something that happened to you when you were 12 months old and You have no conscious recollection of this the way our brain works You have a brain stem and it's a pattern matching machine and it will match patterns in Microseconds when your conscious brain takes about a third of a second to look at someone What that means is that if a guy in rose colored glasses beat you up in second grade your reptilian brain Says pattern match rose glass is threat and you get the physiological threat response You you bear the stress burden of that Whether or not you have any conscious knowledge of it.  You need to get on top of that And we're gonna talk about how to do that Figuring how to control your muscles is one of the ways you do it First you can go in how to relax these muscles and then you can get them stronger Strengthening this muscle when you don't have control of some other muscle over here is not going to lead to an optimal result In fact, you might even get an injury that way you can use Basically something called EMG or GSR to a certain extent to control your To measure certain muscles you can't even reach all of your muscles with sensors though Which is why things like yoga or functional movement will be helpful For me, I use yoga a lot of people use functional movement where you bend forward for instance And you figure out which arm is stretching more than the other and then you do specific corrective exercises I'm actually still doing some work in that space If you do this you'll be able to dance better You'll be able to to stand more appropriately have a straighter posture a straighter posture makes you more attractive and it Essentially makes you more functional on many levels including cognitively having wire your brain wired all of your muscles makes your brain work better You need to learn how to breathe Most people breathe shallowly from up here you want to send a signal that you're relaxed You breathe from your stomach down here and most people just haven't learned to make it a habit So specific breathing exercises can transform your nervous system function as well as make you feel good. I Recommend something called art of living art of living is practiced by 25 million people around the globe It's a set of exercises you do for about 10 or 15 minutes in the morning they When they teach it you oftentimes the teacher wears white robes the first time I took it I was in my mid 20s and I thought it was kind of the dumbest thing ever because frankly incense white robes flowers like not my thing my grandmother has a PhD in nuclear engineering she met my grandfather on the Manhattan project I'm as Western scientific as it gets so I didn't connect with it the second time I took it it was a different class for executives is that one of the early executives from Intel I just sprawling mansion. He said oh, yeah, I'm having this training in the back It was taught by a venture capitalist named John Roberts from Santa Barbara and I sat in there And I finally connected all right if I just do this and I just suspend my disbelief and so I'm gonna experiment six weeks I'll do the exercise and at the end of six weeks.  Life is better I've actually lost weight, but everything got easier everything that I do For several years after that every Saturday morning I would meet with a group of hyper successful entrepreneurs in one of their basically their basements in their mansion and Saturday 7 a.m. We'd get together and we do breathing exercises for about 45 minutes together. I Think if I look back on it There was somewhere between a hundred million and five hundred million of net worth in that room Among those dozen to maybe 10 or 20 people that were there That's pretty amazing. Why would these very successful people who frankly could do whatever they wanted? Spend 45 minutes on a Saturday morning doing this because it works. That's why we did it You can go to a yoga teacher and learn pranayama that'll help to the trick is daily practice for six weeks


Hello and welcome to the next settings video, and in this case we're going to be looking at settings media. So I'm going to go ahead and start on my dashboard, select settings and then select media. Now there's not much here, and really there's not much reason to play with it, but for the record I am going to explain to you what's going on here. This will also cross reference with our video on media, on dealing with media, how to upload media into the system. For the purposes of this video, media are going to be images, whether they be clip art, graphics, photographs, whatever. When you upload an image into WordPress, and that's something you need to do in order to get it to show up on your website, WordPress will take your original file, let's say it's a 1000 by 3000 pixel photograph, and give you the ability to serve it back to the patrons in various sizes, and they have a thumbnail size, a medium size, and a large size. By default something like 1000 by 3000 pixels is going to be way too big to actually show up in a blog post or a page, it'll be just way too big for most people viewing it. You can upload that full resolution photo and then choose to display it as a thumbnail, as a medium, or as a large size. In the media videos I'll also show you that you can pick other sizes too, but these are the default sizes built in. On this screen is where you can see what those defaults are set to. For example, if you upload something very large and you just choose to display it as medium, it will take the larger side, whether that be the height or the width, and make it no bigger than 300 pixels. If you were to choose larger size, it would then take either the height or the width, whichever is longer, make it no bigger than 1024 pixels. Really to be honest, no reason to play with these. You can adjust them if you have a favorite size you want to use, that's great. I've been using WordPress for years and I have always left these alone. These are really good defaults and you can always customize on a case by case basis if you really feel you need to. The other option here is to organize your uploads into month and year based folders. Go ahead and just leave that checked. That's just going to make things easier on the back end. Things will stay a little more organized and you'll be able to tell when you uploaded something into the system if you ever need to do that. As usual, if you do change anything here, go ahead and click that Save Changes button to save your changes, but the recommendations really, in this case, are to just leave all of these options alone until you're much more familiar with how media files work, which we'll show you in some of the media videos. Even then, chances are you don't need to change anything here. Thanks for watching.
