Aircraft that take off like a helicopter and fly like an airplane may have a future in commercial and military aviation. The tilt rotor design offers vertical take off and landing capabilities while providing high speeds during cruise. At the NASA Langley Research Center in Hampton, Virginia, Army researchers are preparing a tilt rotor model to analyze in a massive wind tunnel and innovate new scientific solutions for the design of advanced tilt rotor aircraft, a possible key to achieving Army modernization goals for future vertical lift. Tilt rotors are like the V-22 Osprey aircraft that the Marines currently use. Their benefit is they have very high flight speeds. They can transition from a helicopter configuration to a forward flight configuration that looks more like a turboprop aircraft. Using foundational aerodynamics research and computational models, researchers from the U.S. Army Combat Capabilities Development Command's Army Research Laboratory, the Army's Corporate Research Laboratory known as ARL, will shape future vertical lift with analysis of tilt rotor design challenges. The data we're going after is completely new. It doesn't currently exist. We want to be able to model what's called world-flutter stability for high-speed tilt rotor configurations for future vertical lift. The Army launched the TrAST program, or the Tilt Rotor Aeroelastic Stability Testbed. Tilt rotor designs require a compromise between a spinning helicopter rotor for efficient hovering and a fixed wing for forward flight. ARL researchers are bridging a scientific gap by providing underpinning research that will validate modeling for tilt rotor aircraft of the future. Their goal? To increase reach, enhance protection and lethality, and deliver agility and mission flexibility. With an advanced tilt rotor design, the Army can get there, stay there, and dominate what officials call multi-domain battle. When it comes to a flight vehicle, it all comes down to lift. You still have to produce a lift, and whether it's through a wing or through a rotor, lift is produced by moving air. And so those fundamental physics haven't changed since the Wright Brothers. There are some limitations to what you can do with rotorcraft technology. And so those sorts of concepts where you use different properties at different flight speeds to basically minimize the drawbacks of each, is pretty much what is necessary to achieve the really high performances that the Army wants to achieve. Researchers are working closely with industry partners to fabricate the test model. The scaled-down tilt rotor assembly and partial wing are loaded with sensors and designed to be attached to the wall of the NASA wind tunnel. NASA has some very unique facilities that the Army does not have. This particular facility, the Transonic Dynamics Tunnel, is a large wind tunnel facility. It's a very unique facility. It's the only one like it in the world. What we're looking for is how will that aircraft respond dynamically as it's flowing through the air. Army researchers are working on complex flight problems. They partner with NASA because of shared interest in basic research into future tilt rotor technology. We may be looking at different missions for different vehicles, but as we drill down into the technology needs, they become common. And so we can work very closely with the Army on some very fundamental and basic research areas. As part of the U.S. Army Combat Capabilities Development Command's Aviation and Missile Center's joint multi-role technology demonstrator program, private companies like Bell created a tilt rotor concept demonstrator aircraft, the V-280 Valor. Officials said the JMRTD program office informs the requirements for the future vertical lift program of record and has provided significant funding for the fabrication of tracks. Where that benefits the future warfighter is that allows us to push the technology faster, farther, so that they will have a tilt rotor aircraft that is significantly improved over the V-22 aircraft. In addition to higher speeds, Army researchers said they are confident that advances in tilt rotor design will save lives. What we do is kind of like the building blocks to what would eventually become future vertical lift aircraft. One of the biggest impacts might be on how the Army operates because a lot of bases are staged around the range of their aircraft and how fast they can get to the front line and also to save soldiers' lives. Because the faster you can fly, the faster you can get somebody off the battlefield and into the hospital and that could potentially save their life. Researchers said the TrASS program will provide critical experimental data to enable the validation of existing engineering analysis tools and the development of new and improved analysis tools. There's a lot of things that we do are very advanced and we're always looking 20 years out into the future in terms of the technologies that we're trying to develop. But it's very rewarding when we can make good things happen and we know we've developed a viable technology for the Army.


Russian women are set to be allowed to wed dead soldiers killed in the invasion of Ukraine so they can claim state benefits according to mirror media outlet. It is noted that draft laws by Vladimir Putin will end discrimination against unmarried couples where a soldier was mobilized and later slain in battle. By marrying the dead fighter the war widow will be then able to claim the same state benefits for herself and their children as people who married before the war worth around 5 million rubles. Putin said last year we need to think about what to do with such women who do not have a marriage certificate with the killed man with their loved one with whom they lived together for some time. According to the mirror to qualify for the benefit women will have to prove to a court they genuinely cohabited with the dead fighter before the war in a marriage style relationship. The start of their cohabitation will be considered when they wed. The draft law states the fact of being in a marital type relationship will be established in court as a marriage with details entered in the official state register of civil status records. Currently the family of a dead fighter is paid cash as compensation for his death. If the mobilized man or soldier was married this goes to his wife otherwise it may go to his parents. Under the new system a cohabiter will qualify for this some and other benefits.


So I have recently changed to a different window manager now for the last year or so Qtile has been my home And I still think that Qtile out of all the window managers that I've tried has been my favorite now That is saying something considering that I was a huge i3 fan for a couple years at least And I still think i3 is really good But Qtile once you get used to the workflow of Qtile and you learn some Python And you're able to configure it really well Qtile is just one of those window managers that just kind of you stick to for quite a while as long as it works now That while it works thing is an important little proviso because it does update or at least the dependencies of Qtile Update quite often Qtile itself doesn't update quite as often So if you're on a rolling release sometimes things tend to break and that happened for me now Some of that was because of version conflicts and stuff like that it ended up getting fixed and it is fixed In fact, I don't open suzer right now But it took a while so while it was not working for me because of those version conflicts I decided I was going to hunt for a different window manager now. I have tried I'm pretty sure all the major window managers at this point BSPWM i3 herpes left WM hyperland sway you name it I've tried it and some of those I like some of them I don't like I'm obviously not a big Wayland fan So the Wayland compositors were kind of out for me But every Xorg window manager has its pros and cons and I've liked and disliked some of those things You know over the course of the last few years I've tried them all and been variously happy or unhappy in those window managers But I was trying to find something that would either tide me over until Qtile was absolutely fixed or that I could Actually make my new window manager and kind of make it my new home something that I you know was stable it used Xorg because again not a Wayland fan and was something that I could configure and Learn on my own or at least with some help and you know understand what was going on now All of that goes to say is that one of the window managers that I've tried Repeatedly like over and over and over and over again is X monad now I've I'm kind of like a very stubborn person Yeah, I don't know if you guys know this about me, but I don't like being a failure when it comes to technology now I don't consider myself a tech wizard at all. In fact, I would say that in many cases I'm the eternal noob that I claim to be I'm a noob and I'm probably will always be a noob, but when I find something that I want to try and the other people like I want to at least understand why they like it and Usually that means using the thing that those other people like because obviously, you know, they found something You know positive about it. I would like to at least understand their position when it comes to that thing X monad is one example of this Nick's OS is obviously another one of those things a lot of people are very Pro on Nick's OS and I'm trying you know in my long-term review I'm trying to understand why people are so positive about it So X monad just to get away from the Nick's OS stuff is one of those things there I've tried it over and over again. Just haven't been able to find the thing that makes it, you know So popular amongst some certain segments of the window manager population. So I Decided this time I was going to try again Just because again, I'm very stubborn and when I fail at something I want to try again So here I am In X monad right now and if you watch my stream on Wednesday, you'll know that I'm actually doing fairly good And I've you know, I've done some theming here. I've you know, I have some different things to switch between although I haven't really I'm basically on the last one that I created and that's because I'm still learning how to get the Keybinding steal from one of the other but that's beside the point But the here is is that I'm on X monad. I'm using I've been using it full-time for over a week and what I thought I'd do today is Talk about some of my thoughts on X monad because they have transformed since the last time I tried this because my last Video on X monad was basically saying X monad sucks Haskell's the effing devil and you should definitely never use X monad I think those were the I'm pretty sure those were the only 10 words that I said in the entire video The X monad and Haskell were literally the worst things ever and I never wanted to see them ever again I think that's probably what I was talking about but since that time and since I've been using X monad for a little while I Have some thoughts that have evolved over the course of that time So before we jump in leave a thumbs up on this video. I know we're well into this now But if you would leave a thumbs up on the video, I'd really appreciate it It really does help the channel so X monad is first off a really good window manager Okay, it really is a really good window manager. It is also Simultaneously the hardest window manager. I've ever tried in my life now I have tried rat poison which is supposedly way harder. I didn't think it was harder to be honest with you I thought rat poison was actually a little bit easier than X monad and That's just my opinion obviously a lot of people consider it the other way around But for me personally X monad is the hardest Window manager I've ever tried and it all comes down to How it's configured. So this right here my friends is my X monad config now in traditional matte fashion I have taken someone else's configuration file and made it my own now in different news I did not take district tubes configuration file because his is gigantic and He does that for a reason. There's nothing wrong with it. He does it because he's trying to teach people Haskell and X monad and stuff like that. It's just the way he does it and that's perfectly fine. He even says on his Dot files do not use this and as you know going in that it literally has every feature Conceivably there and it's all commented very nicely. You know, he does a good job, right? I wanted something a little bit more minimal than that Mostly because it was going to allow me to use it and understand it a little bit better So like let's just take this section here. I understand the section here These are variables being defined here at the top. These define the colors. I understand that right same thing with this You know, there's this defines the terminal all this stuff is a very similar Syntax to what you'd find in C and in Python is honestly exactly the same in some cases So I understand all of that very well and it was easy to get around I can understand the import You know section obviously the next section here deals with the workspaces Then and then it comes with the rules and then I put in the startup hook because this particular Configuration file didn't have the startup hook at the beginning. They obviously used, you know Xnet RC So I had to put this in I was able to do that Then I put the scratch pad pads in it didn't have scratch pad So I was able to put that in so I wanted to go more minimal because I was you know I wanted to be able to do some of these things myself now Obviously, I've had help so Darth Vader specifically. Thank you so very much for your your help on Actually getting this thing up and running every time I've come up with an error that I couldn't figure out on my own I was off messaging Darth and he helped me out quite a bit So I wasn't completely on my own But I've been actually very proud of myself when it comes to being able to do this in this particular configuration file Adding the different features, you know and things just you know are working a lot better than before so the reason why in previous attempts that my Happiness with X-Monad was non-existent is because of Haskell the Haskell syntax is not something that I particularly Understand all that well now even a week later There are still parts of this that don't make any sense to me or whatever So specifically this end part right here never makes any sense to me whatsoever Some of them are just whatever but then you have like there's a dollar sign here and there's these arrows not exactly sure what those do and then there's the The plus mark in brackets and you know, whatever and they all mean different things and sometimes there's a period in between there So if you look it down here, there's actually a period here for some reason Like I only vaguely now know why those things are there and I'm sure the people who are Haskell pros could be in the comment section below Though this would this is what this means this would I understand all that stuff, right? Some of these are replacements for parentheses. Some of them have you know tie things together in certain ways I understand the very vague general reasons why but that syntax has always been a pain in my ass and mostly because the documentation is one way of doing things and Then you look at other people's configuration files and they've done things in a different way So my biggest problem with X-mone ad is the way that it's configured And it's not that you can't do things in X-mone ad. It's that everyone does things in a different way So my primary way and since time in memorial will actually since 2017 But since 2017 my way of learning things when it comes to window managers is to steal someone else's configuration file Then make it my own. Okay. It's how I learned I3. It's how I learned BSPWM. It's how I learned DWM It's how I learned Q tile you name it. That's how I learned it I went and found someone who knew what they were doing and had a good documentation or comment a good commented Configuration file I stole it from them got it up and running and then made my changes over the course of using that Window manager and configuring it to my liking. I would therefore be able to learn by emulation How to configure the window manager? It worked really really well for a long time because for the most part when you're doing something in a window manager There's usually just one way of doing it or it's there's a best practice way of doing it, right? Most people do rules for example in BSPWM the exact same way So if you want to set a rule in BSPWM, there's a set way of doing that same thing with You know Q tile and the same thing with I3 if you want to set a rule there's a way to do that There's not 12 different ways of doing it even in DWM which is like Q tile and like exponent configured in a programming language in this case C There's one way of doing a rule. Okay, now I'm sure that there are some more prolific C Programmers out there who could say that there's different ways of doing a rule But when it comes to doing a rule in the DWM configuration file Usually there's one way of doing it. So that's just that but in Xmonad when it uses Haskell There's different ways of doing it. So my way of pulling someone else's configuration file didn't really work So if I actually go to a different workspace here and right now I'm actually in desperate need of more workspaces Yeah, because I now have a window on every single workspace and man Do I need some more? That's that's my next thing to figure out is how to add a couple more more workspaces But if I go to district tubes dot files, which I have downloaded. So if I go into CD dot files DT dots Dot files that config Xmonad it makes one ad Hs So this is district tubes dot files for Xmonad and while some of it is very similar to what I've done There are differences. So you can see like just we just looked at my Configuration file and these are where I define the variables, right? This is just me emulating what was already here and I've added a few of my own if we go to DT's They're done in a little bit different way, right because they're called in a different way And that's just one way of doing it. My way is another way of doing it There's a third way of doing it So when I want to learn something from someone else's configuration file It's going to depend on whether or not they did things the same way that I did them previously or the person Who used my configuration or created my configuration did them. So learning from other people's configuration files is almost and I would say this damn You're impossible because they all are different and the thing about Haskell is is that this stuff is not interchangeable So I can't go and say let's just say I wanted for whatever reason to steal all of DT's Variables here. I can't just go here and you know scroll up here to the top and get into visual mode and just Yank those things paste them into mine and say Randy dandy I'm going to actually use all of those in mine and have it compile. It would not work Okay, if I wanted to take some of those things I'd have to either change the way that I did it or Figure out how these particular variables are called later on in the configuration file and change that or add those to the Do with the loop at the end of X monad you'd have to change that I don't know if that's a loop or I think it's a loop But whatever, you know, you'd have to put these things in in a certain order And if you don't put them in a certain order you can't mix and match the orders So you do things in one way and you have to continue to do things in that way for the entire configuration file You can't mix and match so all that comes down to The fact that the way that I have traditionally learned how to do window management and window managers How to configure window managers has been to learn from other people doing the configuration file in this case I haven't been able to really do that and That has been why I have almost repeatedly failed at X monad over and over again because that's how I've attempted to try To do this now. Here's the rub when it comes to the X monad documentation Which is actually the Haskell documentation. They seem to be one in the same They're not even consistent within the documentation over how to do things So there are two different tutorials from the X monad developers or from the main X monad community on how to get started with X monad One does thing one way one does things the other another way and they're like I said, they're not interchangeable They don't both explain everything that you need to know to configure So like one of them doesn't tell you how to add scratch pads one of them does So if I wanted to if I started following one way that didn't have everything I needed in it And I went and found the other one that did have but I couldn't combine them at the end, you know So even the documentation on their github page and on their Haskell Digimitation isn't always consistent on how you can do things and like I said You can't mix and match this stuff because it's not it's not compatible You have to import all of the right X monad libraries or modules or whatever You have to put all of them in the proper places here at the bottom So if you you're calling things here, you know in in the in the main You have to put them all, you know in the same syntax you defined them in earlier in the configuration file If you don't do that, it's not going to compile and it's not going to run So you can't mix and match like I said, and it just makes it enormously hard to learn if you learn the way that I have over the course of the last three years in That you use other people's configuration files to do the learning So this particular time is different a little bit mainly because while I yes I did use someone else's configuration file the jumpstart my both my XMO bar and my X monad I have stopped there and move to just using the documentation and Recognizing how my particular config file does things so I will know when I'm searching for a problem So like later on for example, I'm going to learn how to add more workspaces to X monad I'm going to learn how to do that and I'm going to know as I search for that problem or the solution to that problem I'm going to be able to figure out if the solution that I find is going to be compatible with my particular Configuration file. I've learned to kind of suss out how those differences, you know work and how incompatible one way of doing Something is compared to the other so I may I'll be able to find a way to do it That will work with my configuration file That's the difference this time is that I'm actually putting time and effort into learning a little bit more of Haskell but also I'm Learning to Recognize when something will work when something won't work and that has been all of the difference So I can tell when I go find a solution to something if that particular, you know Copypasta is going to mess up my configuration file and I've been able to avoid the pitfalls I had in the past Also, I've been more successful at Doing things on my own. Oh, like I said, I'd have had help The like the scratch pads I did all on my own the start-up hook I did all on my own and and you can tell I'm very very proud of that because in previous times Whenever I got to one of those roadblocks where I'd have to do it on my own I would inevitably fail because it was just too confusing and you know, obviously finding You know, I can go to someone else's configuration file and say hey that's how they did the start-up hook because Taking their version of the start-up hook and putting it in mine doesn't necessarily mean it's going to work because they could have done a Syntax in a slightly different way that isn't compatible with the syntax that I used, right? So this time has been much more successful So my overall thoughts on Xmonad is that is very very good It has all the features that I want the workspaces worked the way that I want So it has a shared amount of workspaces on both monitors that can move move around dynamically It's very very good has scratch pads. It has all the stuff that I want. So it's a very good window manager It is also really really hard now. I know the Haskell and Xmonad Veterans out there will say well, it's not that hard It's not hard for you because you understand going in or you understand now after you've put the work and effort in to learn And it's easy for you because of that case, right? You are now a well-learned Haskell person For the rest of us noobs going into Xmonad It's difficult. It's said it's the most difficult window manager. I've ever tried and Like I said, I've tried them all so Someone wants to ask me or I get actually get asked this question quite often is what window manager Do you recommend for new users and a lot of people ask me Matt? I've watched DT's Xmonad Tutorials I should try Xmonad and my argument would be no you should not use Xmonad if you're a brand new window manager user Just absolutely not the only exception to that is if you already know Haskell if you're a Haskell developer But you've never used a window manager before then Xmonad is probably perfect for you But for everybody else no Xmonad is not for brand new users And I don't even know that it's for me at this point yet. I'm still using it. It's still good and I'm happy here but We'll see I'm still using it right now and that's really it's as far as I've ever gotten with Xmonad And I'm happy and it's running really well. So we'll see if that stays true So that's it for this video if you have thoughts on it, you can leave those in the comment section below Also, I'm not sure why I'm doing this when I'm talking about comments But whatever if you want to leave a like on this video, I'd really appreciate it really does help the channel Matt The ending is always the worst Anyways, you can follow me on you can follow me on massive on an odyssey those links being the video description I'm also on pure I also have my videos on a pure tube instance That's TL vids those that link will be in the video description as well You can support me on patreon at patreon.com slash the Linux cast you can support me on kofi at kofi.com Slash linus cast and if you want to head on over to the merch shop where you can find hats and t-shirts and hoodies and Desk mats and all sorts of good stuff You can find that at shop that the linus cat org all that and all the processes go directly to helping the channel Which means more Linux content for you Thanks everybody who does support me on patreon YouTube because we're all absolutely amazing without you The challenges would not be anywhere near where it is right now. So I think you so very very much for your support I truly do appreciate it guys are awesome without you just seriously. Thank you so much. Thanks everybody for watching I'll see you next time


Hey guys, I'm Rob Riches and on today's video for supplement world.com We'll be taking a look at the shoulder muscle in particularly the three deltoid heads Before we get started on the insertions the origins and the different structural components of the shoulder I'd like to first talk about joint health when we talk about the shoulder joint We're actually talking about the ball and socket joint similar to that of the hip Except with the hip that ball sits much deeper into the pelvis with the shoulder It doesn't quite therefore. It's susceptible to a lot of Injuries not so much with the weight that you're lifting with the shoulders But more so the improper technique and form and so by keeping the shoulders in their proper anatomical position Which is a slightly shrug position and pulled back so that you're not rounding them forwards You can perform many if not all of the exercises with more comfort because what happens are these deltoid heads Starts to cross over they cause friction leads to inflammation therefore possible injury So always remember when you perform these exercises keep the shoulders shrugged and the shoulders pulled back Okay, speaking of exercises. Let's first look at the three different deltoid heads Now we can see that it's almost like a triangular position And that's where the shoulders get their name delts or deltoids from from the Greek letter delta It's a triangle when it comes to training the deltoids There's two main types of movements. You have a press movement and a raise As you can probably see a press movement involving raising the arms up and extending them above the head We'll involve all three heads of the deltoid head So this is a great exercise to get early on in the workout when you're at your freshest You've got the most energy and especially with the involvement of the triceps here You can lift more weight so an overhead press whether it's a barbell press on a Smith machine And also don't forget about performing the overhead press slightly behind the back of the head This will involve more of that posterior deltoid This is an exercise that will allow you to develop strength and power which especially is important for those of you starting out Don't forget about the clean and press as well Many of us perform the overhead press as a standing or a seated barbell press But by using a clean motion into a press It can allow you to establish much more power and strength early on in your training Arm position as well is also important when it comes to pressing You can have the elbow slightly forwards which will bring in more of the anterior deltoid All by keeping the elbow spread as you extend that weight up which will involve more of that medial deltoid So with the compound movements such as the clean and press or seated overhead press done early on in the workout Which involves all three heads of the deltoid as well as traps, rhomboids and triceps to a degree You're then free to move on and start to isolate each one of these deltoid heads Different movements angles and exercises will allow you to focus more so in particular heads of these deltoids Now why is that important? Well when we talk about overall development We're talking about balance and symmetry as well And as I've already mentioned a lot of the anterior and that medial deltoid gets worked a lot with many chest exercises, pressing and also arm exercises to a degree So it's this the posterior deltoid that kind of gets left behind So if you're a competitive bodybuilder an athlete or just someone really wanting a great physique well balanced proportional You really do need to focus on all three heads and with those first two heads already being well worked with many other Exercises your attention then comes to that back deltoid So once you've established those overhead presses whether it's through a cleaning press Dumbbells or a seated or standing barbell you can then move on and focus on your raises One of the most common ways to train this is with a bent over dumbbell fly Now for this one It's a little bit tricky and there are cable variations and a bench But for this you'll see you need to slightly bend hips are pushed back Your torso is almost parallel to the floor and the arms are kept straight But with a slight bend in the elbow as you raise the elbows up keeping the arms from flexing Your focus is to contract and squeeze the shoulder blades together now This involves the rhomboids a little bit as well Just like when you wake up in the morning and you stretch it's that same kind of movement of bringing the arms back and really engaging The rear deltoids contracting them at the top if you find that this position of a standing bent over Dumbbell rear del fly is perhaps a little bit tricky then try doing it on a bench pronated Facing that bench whether you're standing up on the bench or actually sitting leaning forwards This simplifies the exercise because you're not having to maintain your position as you perform the exercise Keep the weight light and I'd recommend doing volumes of 10 12 even 15 to 20 repetitions The deltoids are relatively small muscle groups So you don't want to be doing too much weight and the only reason you can manage a lot of weight with those Overhead presses is because you're working all three of them in conjunction with your traps and triceps in that pressing movement Cables also lend themselves to be a great technique to work any particular head of these deltoids in particular the rear deltoid in a bent over position now cables provide that constant tension throughout the full range of motion and Allow you to work it through many different angles If we look at the actual structure of the three deltoids the muscle is a multi-penner Which means they're all sort of cross-sectional fibers Any time you do a lateral raise you're actually working all three of them And there's about seven different attachments that we see we see three main ones here But they're made up of sort of two two and three Which means it's important to work them through a variety of different angles The use of cables really allow you to focus on those different angles now when it comes to variation There's a number of different variations that you can use when training that lateral the medial deltoid head in Particularly bringing the dumbbells down to the front of the body to the side and behind when performing a standing lateral raise What this will do is it will stress all three heads in a slightly different angle each time You bring it down to the front bring in more of the anterior at the side more so that medial deltoid When you bring the weights behind your body, which you can also do with cables You're involving more of that posterior deltoid head so angles and Rangers very important when it comes to training your deltoids especially with the lateral raises So now we move on to the anterior the front deltoid and just because this gets worked a lot with many of the shoulder Chest and arm exercises often people don't train the anterior deltoid But I think you should and here's why we're talking about overall shoulder Development and for that we need symmetry and balance and just because you're involving the anterior deltoid in many other Exercises doesn't mean that you're necessarily developing it as you would with specific exercises So for the front deltoid this can be performed either seating or standing with your dumbbell raises And you can form this one arm at a time either with a rotation or by just keeping the palms facing each other Kind of like a hammer curl for the biceps Another variation with this is a straight bar or with a rope Cable raise tons of different variations angles that will all stress different points on the anterior deltoid and Speaking of the three deltoids a great technique is to employ either triceps or a Supersets performing a press type movement and then either combining that with an upright row or a lateral raise This allows you to train shoulders in a relatively short time keeping a lot of stress and Intensity on the muscles without necessarily using too much weight Just remember about your former technique keeping the shoulders slightly back and in a shrug position So that they're anatomically correct when you're performing many of those exercises Now if you're just starting out with fitness I'd recommend giving yourself a good six months to really develop great overall strength and mass in your shoulders by first focusing on just a Few exercises a clean and press or a seated shoulder press both to the front And also slightly behind to involve more of the anterior deltoid and then finishing with some lateral raises You really don't need to be doing too much Once you've established a good foundation for shoulder training then you can start to isolate some of these deltoid Anterior the lateral and the posterior deltoid each with their own type of raise and don't be afraid to mix it up with use of dumbbells Isolation so one arm at a time and cables as well as also a number of different techniques strip sets Which can involve an overhead press Stripping the weight down after you reach your point of failure three or four times And then finishing with a superset of a lateral or particularly the rear delt lateral raises When it comes to training shoulders I like to really warm up first with a number of Exercises performing light weights high repetitions a number of light stretches and then moving into my compound presses early on in the Workout when I feel I have the most strength and energy Then simply focus on the rear delt the medial and the front deltoid and maybe finish with some calves or forearms at the end To shoulders aren't a big muscle group. Therefore. You don't need to train them with that much weight If you're supersetting combining exercises You can hit all of the shoulder muscles in about 15 or 20 minutes leaving extra time to hit your calves Forearms or even an arm workout biceps and triceps For more information on shoulder training including a full article on each of the muscle heads and all of the exercises You'll find this over at supplements world comm If you haven't already do subscribe to our YouTube channel stay up today on more training and nutritional videos.

PDP governors call for state police restructuring, ranching and devolution of powers. And we have uncovered over 400 million, or 400 online sites set up to fight the Bahá'í administration, says Lai Mohamed. This is Plus Politics and I am Mary Anna Cohn. Governors on the platform of the opposition, People's Democratic Party PDP have assembled for a one-day consultative meeting on the state of the nation and issued a six-point communique where it insisted that ranching be adopted as a permanent solution to the herders, farmers clashes in the country. The governors also restated that the call for restructuring was important and called on Mr. President Mohamed Bahá'í to summon a meeting of the Niger Police Council and devolve more powers to states to reduce the tension and insecurity. Well, joining me to have this conversation is Sheghul Shopitan, a political analyst and of course, Darlingson Oji, he is a spokesperson for the People's Democratic Party in Rivers State. Thank you very much, gentlemen, for joining us. Thank you for having me. All right. So I'm going to start with you, Sheghul, because you work for an NGO and CSOs as that last week had called for the head of Mr. President's metaphorically, they're asking the president to be impeached, they're saying that they're unhappy as to how things have been handled under this administration in terms of security. But the governors of the PDP states have adopted a six-point communique and they're asking for a permanent solution to this farmers-headers conflict and they're asking that the constitution be amended to accommodate a devolution of powers of some sort. How realistic is this call, in light of all the things that we have seen unravel itself over the months, in fact, since 2020, does it seem like it's something that can really be done? Yeah, so thanks for having me once again. It's a bit befuddling when you hear people that should be acting, talking. So I reacted to this news in two ways. One is to acknowledge that, yes, they are a communique set of my things and it's very good. And another thing that I do like about it, especially given that they are calling for abolition or support for abolition of the facts that it's the PDP governor's forum, which has governors from all the states across the country, including the North. So the general perception before now had been that most northern states and most northern politicians are against the very idea of banning of open grazing because the... Oh, I think we lost you there for a second, Shegul. The connection is a little bad. Well, I'm going to toss now to Darlene Zinodji. Now, Darlene Zinodji, you're speaking obviously in regards of the PDP. The PDP has acts that the president deal was the issue of insecurity and have also spoken to the APC administration to focus more on policies and dealing with what's happening in the country. It's not just the APC that's running this country. Of course, the PDP governors are also part of this. And I agree that on the one hand, they have come up with a six points communicate, but again, it still falls back to Mr. President to make the move. Why did the PDP choose to say that the APC should focus on policies? Are they not doing that right now? Well, let me thank you for the privilege given to me. First, let me correct an impression. I was immediately passed publicity secretary of PDP in River State and not a current publicity secretary. Great. That's one. Two, for us in River State and an upgrade to Nigeria, we support the idea of the six point agenda of the PDP governor's forum. What are they asking for? What are the points they have mached out? Does he have a direct impact on the average Nigerian person? If he does, is it proper at this time for short call to be made? Yes. Now, let me pick on one point. When they talk about open crazing or condemnation of open crazing, you will agree with me that those who are cow or cattle, they are personal business like a woman that has open supermarket running the business for access. Therefore, it must be confined within an environment knowing that the profit you are making is for personal use. And again, talking about convoking national security canceling it, so that the issue of insecurity that is bedeviling Nigerian people today can be addressed properly. And you know that the powers that are settled with the president of the Republic of Nigeria through the constitution is so enormous that it is not just their mere say. That is why they have said, when leaders in this nation meet and talk from different angles and agree, machalize a point, of course it will affect the common Nigeria. What do you like to talk about? Take for instance, the killings of security agents that are happening in Nigeria. Those people are securing all the APC and PDP and other political parties. And those people are relatives and parents of different people. So a lot of persons are directly impacted. So the cause that the national security council meeting should be convoked, the cause that open crazing should be banned and supported by the president of the Republic of Nigeria. The cause that state police and no government police in which the community should be approved and supported by all. I think it's not a call by facts thing. And rather, what I have seen in recent times is that everything is being politicized. But for me, I think that it's important that we come out to support the idea of the PDP governor's group. Again, you can even forget just a week ago of the AFRATA call. That AFRATA meeting, the PDP governor's, PDP governor's and other political parties governor's are in that meeting and they spoke in one voice. It shows clearly that Nigerians are worried. It shows clearly that insecurity is the problem that all of us will put our hands to death and fight it out. I'm not sure that we don't politicize it. But for me, the call is just, is timely and is appropriate. I have a question for you, Mr. Darlings. And then please do not take this personal. But if the roles were reversed, and I'm talking about the issue of devolution of powers, if the roles were reversed and the PDP were the government in power, do you think that your party would have gone for the devolution of powers being that this is one of the major recommendations by the PDP governor's forum, not the southern governor's forum. But the PDP governor's forum is asking for a devolution of powers to state. And don't forget that the PDP had been in power for 16 years. Why did the PDP not see the need for devolution of powers at that time? Thank you. Nigerians should be progressive in mind. When you can vast my people that what has been done in the past is wrong, you need to also dwell on it. All you need to do is to improve on it. If we're not talking about whether PDP was in power yesterday or not, there is a government that please change that convinced Nigeria to say that we are going to do things differently from what PDP has done in the last 16 years or thereabouts. Are they doing it? Must you always say, this happened in the past, therefore we will repeat it now. No, the answer is no. The change is one thing that is funnier, change in the right direction. APC made a lot of promises at night to Nigerian people to keep in touch with the policies or programs that were presented to Nigerians before. They should carry it out and stop complaining. There are problems. Those problems need attention. Whether PDP addressed those issues today or not, today, we are saying that this is what they are doing. And they are talking about the volition of power. It's across the 36 states. Because the local government needs to be free. The state assembly needs to be free. The judiciary needs to be free. So that they will be taking the decision. But we have a legion of people that will be chose. I'm going to come back to you to take you up on judiciaries and all of that. But let me go back to Shagun. Shagun, we lost that connection for a bit. So I was asking about how feasible it is for us to get that issue of state policing on the table, up and running, getting the president to put out an executive order. Why should he put out an executive order in the first place? And how do we even make him see the need to? Because, again, I'm asking these questions because there have been so many calls from past leaders to elder statesmen, to former security chiefs. I mean, literally, many people have asked and made suggestions. Even the former Senate president rose an open letter to the president. So what makes us think that the president is going to heed this particular call by the PDP governor's forum? I think that for anybody to expect anything from this president right now, you'll basically be deceiving yourself. Without apologizing, whoever might be offended. I am not even sure that we have a president. You know the challenge we have now. I'm sure that we do. And this is the problem that I have. Shagun, I'm sure that we do. We do have a president, and he's in France right now, talking with other heads of state and then to issue a COVID and other things. I mean, I mean that, yeah, sure. I mean that figuratively, you know, I mean, I know the president is there and I'm one that would always be respectful of public office just because of the office, not necessarily because of the president holding the office. So whoever is president is the president of Nigeria and I respect that office. But the point I'm making is that one of the reasons that you have this cacophony, it's a cacophony of noise. I mean, it's all noise as far as I'm concerned. Everything that the PDP governor's forum, the Southern governor's forum, the APC, you know, whatever they're saying now is noise. They are not serious. Not one single one of them is serious, you know. And I say that for a reason. Look, like you said, I heard you say something when you were responding to Darlington earlier. The PDP was in power for 16 years, Marianne. 16 years, right? How dare they come out now and be talking about the structuring and the pollution of powers and all of that noise? What were they doing when they called do something about it? And the irony of this is that in those 16 years, the APC in its various incarnations was consistently demanding the structuring and devolution of powers and true federalism, you know, and all of those nice sounding soundbites, political soundbites. Now the APC has been in power for six years, six. You know, if you wanted to write a new constitution, Marianne, you would have written it in six years. And now all of a sudden, the APC is saying the PDP is making noise when they're asking for devolution of powers. Isn't that just ironic, right? So I don't think any Nigerian that is serious should take it out of these two groups of people serious. We know what they're doing. It's all a game for them. You know, so asking whether the president will do an executive order to implement any one of the things that this PDP got notice talking about, you know, it's, I think the answer is obvious to all of us and it's no, he's not going to. The only thing that the president or any political office holder as they are today in Nigeria will do is what serves either the personal interest or the interest of their stakeholder groups, you know. So they're not going to do anything that is going to rock the boat. So they'll make all this noises. They'll talk about banning of open grazing. They'll talk about ranching and all of that. It's all noise. They're not going to do anything about it because they don't want to rock the boat. They know what they're doing. So just tell me, Marianne. So she'll be. PDP got notice, I've come out to say, oh, they're demanding devolution of powers. They want ranching. Who is stopping them? Who is stopping Niger states? Who is stopping Sokoto state? Who is stopping or your state? Who is stopping labor states? So I'm calling names of states that are run by both the APC and the PDP. Who is stopping them from setting up ranches all across the state and providing it on a commercial basis and enforcing and enforcing these herdsmen and cattle owners, Macban, who is stopping them from engaging with Macban to come to the drawing table or to a negotiating table and agree a framework and a timeframe to move all these cows into ranches. Who is stopping them? So she'll go to the federal government. I want to ask you a question too because you're asking me questions, even though I'm the one who's supposed to be asking questions. So you're telling me, are you suggesting that the PDP, both the PDP and the APC are just to borrow the words of the APC involved in a jamboree of sorts. They're not serious about helping the Nigerian situation as it is. They're just politicizing the matter instead of dealing with the situation which they can. In fact, from what you've said is that they have the powers to do so but they'd rather not. Is that what you're saying? That's exactly what I'm saying Marianne. I'm saying that a lot of the things that we've seen happen in this country in the last 20 years, maybe 30 years actually been things that could easily be addressed, easily. Regardless of the faults and the problems within our constitution as it is today. Yes, we know the constitution is not a good document. We all know that. We know we need a new constitution. There's no doubt in my mind about that. We need devolution of powers. We need proper, we need a real federal arrangement where the states and the local governments are responsible for more than a federal government that is at the center and very far away. But the point is that this constitutional problems do not in any ways prevent the present political actors from doing the things that need to be done. So again, I'm still asking, I'm not asking you Marianne. I'm asking them. I'm asking the PDP, I'm asking the APC, I'm asking all the governors. Who is stopping them from setting up branches? Today, there is a national livestock transformation plan. Who is stopping them from implementing it? I understand that Fire Me, Governor Fire Me in the United States is trying to put something in place in that line. I understand that legal states is trying to do something along those lines. Who's stopping all the 36 state governors from implementing the NLTP so that we move these herdsmen out of the farms and stop this carnage? The problem is that the carnage serves the interest of some people. And until we as Nigerians understand this and speak against it very reasonably with one voice, they will continue to play games with our lives. All these lives that are being lost is all driven by politics. And it's a tragedy. It's a travesty. And we need to speak out against this. Darlington, this is- So for me, they shouldn't come out. So I'm sorry, Marianne. They shouldn't come out to insult our intelligence product by asking the federal government to do things that are well within their powers that the constitution does not prevent any one of them from doing that. Insulting our intelligence as Nigerians. Great. Darlington, this obviously is a challenge to your party. And our APC guests pulled out last minute. So you're here representing the PDP. And this just goes to buttress the question that I asked earlier on. You had 16 years, your party ruled for 16 years. And there was no push for devolution of powers. And now here you are now asking for devolution of powers. Again, my guest has said, Shagun has said that this is all being politicized. That what you guys are doing is just a little jamboree and noise making, but that if you really indeed want to change something, the PDP can change the APC in their different states, can make this change happen. So why is the governor of your state, for example, River State not doing anything instead of just crying wolf? It's a very, very unfortunate of the precarious nature of our mindset in today Nigeria. And people should understand that when you pre-change, change means that I'm going to do things differently from what it used to be. Assuming we don't consider that APC in the 16 years of PDP, we are asking for devolution of powers. And they were genuinely about it. And today they have opportunity. What is happening? Can they tell Nigeria that the social contract they entered with our people, that we are going to do XYZ, that they are actually doing it or not? Not only in devolution of powers. There are promises that we are made to our people. A decade, again he's talking about government providing branches and making sure that they take away his men from the streets to those areas. People must understand that the crazy ordering of cows are personal, they are individual businesses. They are individual businesses. And if this individual, I'm so sorry, hold on. And if this individual businesses have not seen the need to, but continuously disrupt the lives and property of your citizens, shouldn't it be the place of your government to institute these things and force them if they do not go into those ranches, pay for them, then they have to take their cattle elsewhere? Is that not why a government should be in charge of a state? That is why government is providing laws that we guide rearing of cows. The point of trying to make here is that people must understand this idea of everything that is happening now. For instance, when they are actually kidnapping cases in Nigeria, they say, ah, during the period it was more. But this is not what Nigeria has to expect. What Nigeria has to expect now is that the president must be proactive. We have a president that is silent over issues, all issues, if you may ask. And the president is expected to address our fake calls. Cowards and cattle rearing are personal businesses. Government cannot provide one for them. My dear sister, government cannot provide your studio or your station. Government cannot provide it. Somebody should provide and set up that business. That is what we are talking about. That is what crazy is all about. But it wasn't that you explained it to people. People didn't die for this. I don't want to align myself with PDP PDP. People didn't die for this studio to be set up. It's a totally different, I mean, I'm so sorry, but the comparison, the basis for comparison is totally off. People didn't have to die for this studio to be put together. Now, if cattle rearing is costing people to die, it's stopping our economy, it's not allowing our crops to grow. Of course, government has to step in. We have so many laws in this country that have not been followed. Does it mean that enforcement shouldn't take place because there are people who are acting as if they do not understand the law or that they're ignorant? Can you hear me? I can hear you. The point I'm making here is that the owners of these, the heathers, they are human beings, they are our brothers. All of us are related in one way or the other. The point I'm making is that you have to provide ranches. And maybe they could go to Netherlands. The ranches is working. It's going to be provided by government. That's the point I'm making. Which government stays off of it? It's going to be provided by government. And again, I'm not going to totally disagree with the idea of comparison between PDP and ABC. For instance, election is coming in 2023. People will go to the field. People will go and complain to the people. People will present manifestos and say, this is what we are going to do. That is the social contract you want to enter with the people. If you don't do those things, you have failed. That's the point we are saying that ABC government has failed in all the promises they made. The EPA today, they were genuinely answering for power devolution and it didn't work. And today, they are in charge. The EPA today, one four-way was 87 Naira. President Mohamed Pouyari said, let the protest with Adam Shoshemoli and on Yaku, on the streets of Nigeria to protest. And today, we are buying all those at once to do something. So, as you kept the promise, so the point I'm making is that we must be proactive. I don't stop being reflected by saying that this was what PDPD, if you felt that all this PDPD, we are wrong and you have opportunity. Why not better the lack of Nigeria? Why must you always say that it was bad yesterday? So, it should be worse today. The answer is no. We need to progress. Nigeria need to move out from where we are. This security is eating up Nigeria. All the promise is eating up Nigeria. We must come together to say no. The president promised we are going to support the court that all concretes should be abolished. All right, thank you, Darlington.  Fine, because we need to go, we just have a minute. Will we ever make a headway because it looks like it's a bouncing ball. It bounces to the APC and then the APC bounces it back to the PDP. And it's like, let's keep looking at the rear view mirror instead of looking forward. So it looks like we might just be at this point for a long time. So is there any end in sight? Yeah, there's an end in sight. And that end will be motivated and instigated by Nigerians by asking the right questions and making the right demands. So I have a solution. And I want to put it out there. This is national TV, right? It's for me, it's very simple. Let all governors just forget about the federal government. Like I said, for me, you know, the president, I don't know what's going on over there. So the state governors, right? Let them call out the leadership of McBan in each and every one of those states. They call that group. Second state call that group. The traditional leadership of the Fulani tribe that most of these herders come from, reach out to them, sit down with them at a round table and give them a plan, right? A time-based plan to say we are going to set up ranches in this place, in this place, in this place. It's going to be available commercially, effective from social and social. Give it my suggestion, give it a moratorium of one year. Maybe in a year and a half. I think a year and a half is too long. Maybe one year, right? And tell them that at the end of that one year, grazing is going to become illegal and any cattle that you see on your roads or in the farms or in the forest will be apprehended and destroyed, right? You've given them a moratorium. You've called them to the table. You've provided the ranches. And after that time, do the laws and enforce it. Until we do that, we're going to be keep dancing around in circles. And I think this is not as difficult as it sounded. Like I said, it's all politics. They should please stop playing politics with our lives as Nigerians and with our well-being and our livelihood and we do what needs to be done. Well, gentlemen, I want to thank you for being part of the conversation. Darlingson RG is former publicity secretary for the People's Democratic Party in River State and Shagun Shopita is an analyst and he's also of ACT Network. Thank you very much for being part of the conversation. My pleasure. All right. Thank you. Well, thank you all for staying with us. We'll take a short break now. And when we return, the Ministry of Foreign Information, Lime Hamid, speaks on government's progress in battling fake news. You want to hear it when we come back?


In this final video for lecture 42, I want to talk about solving exponential and logarithmic inequalities. So instead of equations this time, how do you do it inequalities? And like we've seen, for the most part, inequalities, the way you solve them is how you solve the equations. But you have to be kind of cautious of the signs. You could try graphing these things. Graphical approaches worked really great because you know, you're often looking for are my above the x-axis or below the x-axis. That's approaches very appropriate here. But there's just a few things I want to point out when you're working with exponentials or logarithms. Because of the nature of exponential graphs, note that a to the x is greater than zero for all x and for all positive a's. So the point is, if you have an exponential expression, it has to always be positive. You can't ever have it be negative. So if you had to solve something like the following a to the x is less than negative one, there would be no solution in that situation. Your exponential can never be negative. So those are some things to look out for. When you're solving this thing, you have to make sure that you're within the range of the exponential, which the exponential always has to be positive, okay? And so this simplifies many inequalities involving exponentials because again, if you're trying to make an exponential be negative, it's not gonna happen. Also, if needing to solve an exponential of the form, let's say like a to the x is greater than equal to b or something like that, where b is some positive number, okay? Because I should mention that b with a negative number would be all real numbers would be x. But if b is some specific positive number, then we can switch the inequality to logarithmic form, right? We can move the exponential base a to the right-hand side becomes a logarithm. And the way we do that is we basically just apply the logarithm to both sides. So we take log base a on the left-hand side and we do log base a on the right-hand side as well, for which on the left-hand side it'll cancel, you would x is greater than or equal to the log base a of b. Now the thing you have to be careful about here is when you apply a function to both sides of an equation, the inequality sometimes slips around, but that happens if your function is decreasing. Your standard logarithm, log base a, is going to be an increasing function assuming that a is greater than one. So if a is greater than one, then the log base a is actually gonna be an increasing function, in which case then when you take the inequality of both sides, the direction will be reserved. Only if you have a decreasing logarithm, you're gonna switch the direction. And that would be if your base was actually between zero and one. So those are things to look out for. So the thing is if you have an increasing exponential, the base is greater than one, then the logarithm will be increasing as well. Now, if you have a decreasing, if you have a decreasing base, right, then your log will be decreasing. So accommodate accordingly. So when we look at this one right here, we have three times two to the x minus one plus five is less than 17. I'm gonna start solving this by performing inverse operations to both sides. Subtracting five from both sides does not change the inequality, right? So we're gonna get three times two to the x minus one is less than 12. Next I'm gonna divide both sides by three, dividing by a positive number does not change the direction of the inequality. So we get two to the x minus one is less than four. Next I'm gonna take the log base two of both sides, log base two of both sides, because again, my base is greater than one. This is an increase in exponential. It's inverse is an increasing logarithm. So that won't change the direction of the inequality. We get x minus one. It's gonna be less than the log base two of four, right? What power of two gives you four? That's gonna be two. And so then finally we're gonna add one to both sides. And so we end up with x needs to be less than three. x is less than three. So when we record that answer in interval notation, we get negative infinity to three, non-inclusive. And that gives us the solution to this inequality. Let's look at another example. Let's take two to the e to the x minus one is greater than equal to one. I wanna solve this inequality. I'm gonna add one to both sides. We end up with two e to the x is greater than equal to two. They're gonna divide by both sides. Now we divide, you have to be careful, right? If it's a positive number, the inequality will be reserved. If it's a negative number, the inequality will be reversed. It's positive two, so we go in the same direction. We get e to the x is greater than one. Now we're gonna take the natural log of both sides, the inverse operation to exponential base e. So we're gonna get x is greater than, base e is a base greater than one. It's about 2.7. So x is gonna be greater than equal to the natural log of one, which is zero. So we see that the solution this time would be zero to infinity, this time inclusive, because we're greater than or equal to. So equality to zero is perfectly fine in that situation. Now, okay, look at this one here. We wanna solve the inequality, one third to the x minus five is greater than or equal to 76. So the first step is quite natural. We're going to just take plus five on both sides. And so we end up with one third to the x is greater than or equal to 81, okay? And so the next approach that you could take, I certainly, you know, you could do it this way or there's another way I'll show you how to do it in a second. You could do the log base one third on both sides, log base one third on both sides, so that the left hand side is gonna become x. The right hand side will become the log base one third of 81, which we'll come back to that one in just a second. But because your base here, your base is one third that's less than one, this is actually a decreasing model. This is a decay model in terms of exponentials. And that also means it's gonna be a decay model in terms of the logarithms. So this will actually switch the direction around. So we get a x is less than log base one third of 81, which that equals negative four. So that would tell us that the solution would in fact be negative infinity to negative four bracket there, negative four being included in the solution. So that would be an acceptable way of solving this one. Now there are two reasons why one might not wanna do this, right? One is because since your base is decreasing, it's a decreasing model, that means you have to switch the things around. So that can sometimes be a little bit confusing, especially as you know, we're not as accustomed to exponentials and logarithms as perhaps other functions. So that's something to worry about. Then the other issue is like log base one third of 81, how'd you get negative four? I mean, we can work through the details of that, but that can be a little bit confusing. So an alternative approach one could take to try to avoid some of these confusions is when you have one third to the x is greater than or equal to 81. What you could do is you could actually rewrite the base on the left hand side as a positive base. We can change it to be base three, which notice is greater than one. The way to do that is that the one third becomes three to the negative one to the x greater than equal to 81, for which then when you combine the powers together, you get three to the negative x is greater than 81. Now you take the log base three of both sides, log base three, log base three of both sides, that'll give you negative x is greater than or equal to log base three of 81, which you're probably more comfortable with that. What power of three gives you 81? That's the fourth power. Notice because now your base is positive, it's a growth model, it's increasing, you actually don't have to switch the inequality around, you get negative x is greater than four, for which then you're gonna times both sides by negative one, and you'll get x is less than negative four. So you get the exact same expression that we did before, that leads to negative infinity to negative four, but the inequality switch direction, that happened, but it happened when you times by negative one, not when you had the decreasing logarithm. And the reason why that can be a little bit more advantageous for your typical algebra student is that's something you're used to by now, you're used to multiplying by negatives, switches the direction of inequalities, as opposed to the decreasing logarithms, things like that. So that's an alternative, there's a green approach, I'm not saying you had to do it, but it is an approach to solve these exponential inequalities here. I should also mention a little bit about logarithmic inequalities. Similarly, inequalities involving logarithms can be solved by switching to the exponential form. One also has to be careful when working with logarithmic inequalities, because the domain of the logarithm is often restricted, it's important not to include values of x into the solution set outside of the domain of the logarithm. We also have to worry about the base, right? When you switch to exponential form, if you have a base greater than one, that's increasing, the inequality stays the same. If the base is less than one, like between one and zero, then that would switch directions. That same principle is still true, but also pay attention to the domain, which notice here the domain, right? The domain of that logarithm would mean that x plus five has to be greater than zero, so x has to be greater than negative five. So that's sort of a restriction that's gonna be on the solution set right here. So then the next thing to say is that I'm gonna switch this to the exponential form, right? So basically I'm taking 10 to the log base x plus five on the left, and then on the left hand side, you're gonna get 10 to the first as well. So that those cancel out, you get x plus five is less than or equal to 10 to the first, which is 10, right? Then just minus five from both sides, and you get that x should be less than or equal to five. And so to solve this inequality, we have to put these two statements together. So the inequality says that, oh, x needs to be less than or equal to five, but the domain says x has to be greater than negative five. So we put this together, we get negative five to five. We will include the positive five because the positive five makes the right hand side equal, the left hand side equal to one, inequality is okay. We will not include negative five because negative five would make us take the log of zero, which that does not exist, it's undefined. And so we won't include negative five because that's the vertical asymptote, but we will include five because that gives us, well, that gives us equality and that's perfectly fine. So again, solving inequalities with logarithms is basically the same way that you solve inequalities with exponentials, you have to pay attention to your base. Do I have a growth model or a decay model, right? Is it increasing or is it decreasing? If you're careful about that, you'll be fine solving these things, but with the logarithms, you have the extra stipulation, you have to look at the domain. If you didn't look at the domain, you might think, oh, everything less than or equal to five is okay. You might've said the solution was negative infinity to five, which is actually it's not because we can't get anything less than negative five here.


What's up, everybody? I'm EvilRabbit. We are here on Forza MotorSport7, staring down one of my new projects for SSR, that BMW 1 Series, matte carbon fiber body, blue accenting, simple livery, but very effective and clean. So decided to run this new car as well as my ESDA Vet, and joined into a lobby with a couple of TUS guys, and I met a couple new guys I've never drifted with before, another small team, and we actually had a lot of fun doing some basically drift trains at Long Beach, two-and-two tandems and stuff, had a lot of funny moments, as well as some very, very premium tandem moments. So I'm going to leave you guys with basically some raw drift tandem footage at Long Beach here on Forza MotorSport7 rocking my BMW 1 Series, usual suspects, Fanatec, sicking motorsports. So definitely been having a lot more fun getting into random lobbies with random people, meeting new people, getting into doors with some people I've never tandem with before. So going to be doing a lot more jumping into random lobbies to do tandems with some people, and maybe just, you know, be in line and have my own lobby open and have people come in and out and get some tandems and stuff like that.  It was just basically a laid-back session. Make sure you're following me on Instagram and Twitter, all of which are found in the description box below. And as always, I'd like to thank you guys for coming back and watching. I do appreciate all the support. So let's go drifting. Okay. Thanks for the tap.  It all works out in the end. Oh, I saw that coming. Yeah. I was hoping you'd squeak by it. Somebody right there. Yeah, I'm coming.  Not bad. I like the black and blue color on that. It's simple, but it's nice. Simple but effective. What you doing down there? Sitting for a second. In my situation. Yeah, there was no way of saving that. I was, I clutch-kicked and I'm like, nope, that's too much. I was already gone before you even touched me. Hey, pop the corner of that.  Yeah, yeah. It is the white line. Otherwise, other than that, that was clean. Your car was too clean. Only having 500 horsepower, this thing can kind of hold. That makes me happy. Sorry, my bad. You almost sweeper. Yeah, I lost my taillight on the sweeper. No longer have taillights, so sorry, forever's behind me. Brady, are y'all trying to be a person? I got dicey for the hairpin. Surprisingly, everybody made it through that. It didn't look too bad. Looks like it was getting a little dicey. Yeah, what it did in the sweeper, the hairpin actually kind of, it cleaned up a little. All these tandem clips. It's all up to the lead car that determines how well the runs are going to go. Popped you a bit there towards the end, you know? Who, me? Yeah. Awesome, man. I kind of, some reason, coming through that hairpin. I'm like losing grip and I'm not sure why. And my car's slowing down a lot. Could be the street tires. Could be. So I'm trying to, I'm over-blowing the tires off of too much wheel spin to that part. Oh, somebody died. Bye. Hello. I think you're not wrong. I had to see a lot of litter dots over there and I'm not sure if they're all out of the way. Some people are coming. There's one on the inside of Outer Zone 2 and it's It's right, sir. I think she's sitting there though. Yeah. Just changed something in my tune. Someone else is just running. God's the join. He's in your Chapman with this one. I think we have him to run. Ever happened and the phone just slowed right down. I don't know. Stuffed guys would rotate into place. It's all good. You're gonna have content for days, Robert. It's all good. What's up? So we're gonna have content for days. Oh, I have so many tandem clips to go through now. Oh, oh, oh. Oh, no. I think you do, or please. I'm trying to stay in it. I'm pushing you. I'm like left foot brake trying to stay in it. Oh, no. God. At least I failed to where nobody could. I couldn't mess with any of that stuff. I am all my cars. The carnage you're over on. All my cars go through tires and go so hard. I don't know why you stick with S15 now. I literally just threw a bass tune on this thing and I haven't changed it since. Sometimes the bass tunes are the best. Oh, my, my bad line. I threw a lot of angle on. Don't go in there. The train through the hairpin looks sweet. From my perspective, that looks sick. I look back and I just see all the cars coming through the hairpin. That looks sick. Yeah, this is fun. Like, I like being up in the mix of the tandem, but I also like seeing it all from behind here. We ought to get these size lobbies going more often. What do you mean, random lobbies? Ow. Mm-hmm. Oh. Random lobbies that happen. The random lobby of people that know how to drift. That's what it is. I seem like, it feels like I'm the random one in this lobby right now. Maybe just because you've never drifted with us before. That's probably it. Yeah, I think I've drifted with you before. Oh, sorry.  Dude, I hit my RB button. I hit my RB button. Don't say nothing. Leave it alone. That didn't happen. I saw it. I have video proof. Yeah, B-Broom. Oh. That was going to be a really, like, his birdie wasn't messing up or nothing. I was thinking he had. It was going to be good. Where did we go? I just came to that corner. Uh, it was the SDA practice. It was me and Ranga and Ranga. Oh, that's right. Yeah, yeah. That was the gate coming through. Ranga and Ranga. That's right. Did I say that? Ranga is. Yeah, you said Ranga and Ranga. All of them. All the Rangas. That's too many. That's a lot of zeros. My bad line, that was bad. I am cheating death with that parked car. She's a huge flash in this place. Hey, man, that finish is nice. Oh, my bad. Oh, I checked up. I'm dead. Honestly, I don't know how we made that, but we didn't.


All right, we are moving right along with the sew along today. We are going to be focusing on the collar assembly. We're going to finish most of the collar assembly. Some of it has to wait for the facing, but we're going to do a lot of the collar assembly today. This is one of the steps where you're going to want to really take your time and be super accurate. So take a deep breath, take breaks when you need them. And let's get started making this collar. And you are going to have two collar pieces. You have F and G. G is the one that got interfaced. And G is the one that I am going to use to mark these seam allowances. Because the 3 eighths inch seam allowance is so important for the collar. Not only the stopping and starting point, but also the pivot point. And I'm going to be marking on the interfaced side. Mostly because it's just super easy to see on the white interfacing. And just trying to make my life easier. Okay, so we're going to do three eighths inch seam allowances. I'm going to get my handy dandy five eighths inch ruler. And we're going to mark all of the not the whole seam allowance. We're going to mark the stopping and starting point here. And we're going to mark our pivot points. So now I know to stop and start here. Or I know to start here. Pivot here. Come all the way around. We're going to pivot on the other side too. Okay, now F is going the uninterfaced one. F because you see how G has main and interfacing. And F does not. It only has main fabric. That's how we know. F is the one that is going to get turned up by three eighths of an inch. Along this bottom edge so that it can get sewn to the dress. So anytime I'm turning up something and pressing it, I double the amount that needs to be turned up. So three eighths times two is six eighths, which is also three quarters. So if I mark like this, and then I turn it up to meet that marking point, then I know that I'm getting an accurate mark. If I mark at the three eighths and then I turn up, then it's like, wait a minute, I don't know if that's, you know, I can't see my marking. And I don't want to mark on the right side of the fabric because, you know, that's the pretty part. Okay, so just going to mark a few places along here. And I'm going to go ahead and press it up now just because it is a little bit easier. Okay, so now that I have both of those prepped, they go right sides together. So this one gets turned this way. This one goes on top like this. And then like I said, we're just going to sew around these raw edges, starting at the three eighths point here, pivoting here, coming all the way around, pivoting here, and then back down again. So off camera, I also trimmed and graded the seam allowances. All that means is I took the seam allowances, cut off half of them, and then took the interfaced seam allowance and cut that in half again so that you get the, I guess technically piece F is peeking out a little bit below piece G. Okay, piece G ends up being the graded one. Okay, so now this all gets turned right side out. And you're going to want to take a point turner of some kind to help you get your corners nice and crisp. Okay, so now we are going to pin the right side of the interfaced collar to the right side of the dress at the neckline. So we have the interfaced piece here, right? We've got our center back here. We're going to match those up. The circles on the under collar, I just notched them because I don't know. I knew that they were going to be shoulder seams and I didn't technically need to put a whole circle there. But I just know that the seam allowance at this area is going to go right on the shoulder seam. Shoulders get pressed toward the back. And then these notches on the neckline is where the edge of the collar goes. And just being super accurate here is the best way you're going to get a really pretty collar. Okay, so all of that goes in. You're going to run it through your sewing machine at the 3 eighths inch seam allowance for the collar. Okay, at this point, you want to see how you did. Make sure you didn't get any wrinkles or bubbles. Oof, very, very small baby one there that might come out with the iron. Do y'all see that little baby one there? Okay, so now she's perfect. When you go and press that, all of that will go away. Okay, great. So the next step for the collar is at the dots, aka the shoulder seams. We are going to trim up to the seam line, but not through it. You're going to be super, super careful. You can get like extra sharp scissors that are super sharp to the point, but just through the collar piece. Okay, now we are going to trim and grade this seam as well. All right, last step for the collar for now is to go to your iron and press the seam allowances between the shoulder seams up toward the collar, because the plan is we're going to go like this later on. So you want to make sure that this is all pressed up. This is going to end up in the facing, which we are going to work on in the next video. So take your time with the collar, really make sure you're being super accurate, and you will have a beautiful result with your collar.


We have to really think beyond efficiency, beyond computing power, beyond just connecting devices and think about connecting people. Number one, there's an incredible physicality to this. It's not just watching video on a rectangle, on a wall, or even on your handheld phone.  Your knees start to buckle, you start to shake because it's such a physical experience. What Jeremy Balancingley is doing in Stanford VR, what they're doing there, which I think would provide a lot of insight and what others may do down the road, is they're creating a virtual world where in particular they're interested in whether or not people being in this environment and engaging with this environment, witnessing and having the ability to tour will have an impact on their behavior. In particular they created sort of an experience around ocean acidification. You can read about it, you can talk about it with others, you can project with having the opportunity to walk the shore and see the impact on the environment of what's happening today. This is I think an example that is kind of very clear that could suggest areas of how we might use this these type of experience in education. To really create new learning experiences. The consumer device is coming out on the market very soon, which means that they will be available, affordable and a lot of us can play with them on the college campus in various different settings in the classroom, outside of classroom. Now with virtual reality we can start thinking about bringing students to the virtual campfire, having a story, having a conversation that can transcend the class from the campus, connect us globally. We can't be doing PowerPoint presentations for them. It's already boring enough in so many cases, you know, and we're going to have to move on from that and we can't just say oh the virtual world is over here or something else we're just going to deal with the real world because our students are going to be growing up in a world where they're going to say I need the skills, I need the knowledge to be able to navigate both the real world and the virtual environment. It's already affecting the movie industry. People are sitting around and going how are we going to create movies in this environment because you can't use the standard techniques. Standard techniques, the director, the cinematographer, everyone guided you through the experience and all of a sudden you're going to, as the viewer, have control over that experience and there's going to have to be a new language of film, a new language for how you know, sort of shaping the viewer experience on this and you know, there's been different ways. I mean Chris Milk and the Clouds Over Sidra does a wonderful thing of dropping you into almost like scenes but then taking you to the other scenes so you don't aimlessly walk around the refugee camp because you're not going to do VR as a traditional film. You're going to have to come up with something completely different and I think as this begins to come into higher education and really it's coming right now and particularly next year as consumer devices come out, we're going to have to think very carefully about what kind of media do we do? Do we produce? What kind of media do we have our students watch? How do you use this media?
