The Athletic, in an exclusive story by Evan Drylock and Ken Rosenthal, have uncovered the fact that through the 2017 season, the Houston Astros were stealing signs electronically, which is illegal in their home games. And you can say, well, that's just, you know, spy gate, you know, with the Patriots, it was, you know, one guy said, did they have anybody really on the record? They have a guy on the record, a guy that was on the team, Mike Fires, a pitcher, who laid out exactly what they do. And remember, Yankee fans, if you want to get angry, the Yankees lost every single game at Minute Maid Park in the 2017 ALCS. And the last two games, they couldn't score a run. So here's how the Astros did it. They positioned a camera in center field that was zeroed in on the catcher signs. Okay. That camera had a direct feed to a monitor that was put on the wall between the dugout and the clubhouse, so essentially in the runway. There would be people standing there throughout the game, trying to decipher the signs. And once they got the signs, what they would do is they would bang a metal garbage can when they saw the sign for breaking ball or change up. So the batter knew when it wasn't going to be a fastball. And if he didn't hear a sound, he could sit on a fastball. And it worked because the Astros won the championship. Now you could say they won game seven in LA. Okay. Yeah. They're also a pretty good team, but they have espionage somewhat behind them. Now, so many people in baseball talk about the fact that the Astros steal signs illegally. And that's why I don't think they do as good a job of it anymore, because even if there's nobody I'm based on, when the Yankees are playing the Astros, all they do is they put down multiple signs. It's hard to decipher, even if you have a camera trained on the catcher. So you can also say, well, the Washington Nationals won all four games at Minute Maid Park. Yeah, they did, because I don't think it's as effective anymore because of the fact that people now put down multiple signs. Also, Michael, in any kind of conspiracy, it's probably smart to change it up as you go along, right? So after you win the championship in 2017, wouldn't logic tell you, okay, we're going to have to come up with something else? Because players are going to leave, members of the organization are going to move on, people are going to get hit to it. We're going to have to change it. We're going to have to come up with a different way. And maybe they did, or maybe they just stopped doing it all together because they were just afraid that eventually they would get caught. So maybe they didn't do it this year. Maybe they didn't do it the year before. Here's a question. Do you think it's cheating? Well, yeah, it's cheating. Especially with electronic stuff. Now, if you have somebody in the dugout that can decipher the signs, or if you've got somebody standing at second base that can see what the catcher is putting down, I think that's gamesmanship. But once you get to electronics and banging off a trash can, and now I think it's different. I think if you can catch it from where you're seated in the stadium, you're just staring at it, and you figure it out, that's gamesmanship. Now, I think once you add these other systems, it's straight up cheating. Now, it's not foolproof because Minutemade's one of the loudest buildings in the league. Yeah, they said it wasn't effective during the 2017 World Series because it was so loud they couldn't hear the banging of the trash can. I'm sure it was loud in games 6 and 7 against the Yankees too. So is it possible that they tried to do it and it wasn't heard? It's not deafening like in the first six innings. No, that's true. But the fact is it's cheating. So what do you do about it? If we find this out, and it's like to the level of Spy Gaten, in some ways it might even be worse than Spy Gaten. I think it's worse. Because you're talking about something that's actually happening in-game rather than collecting knowledge. It's something that you're doing within the game. And you know how baseball players feel about stealing signs in general. Like what I described to you, Peter, about from the dugout or the guy at second base, they don't even like doing that. They look at that as like a form of cheating. So if you do it using electronics, it's clearly cheating. Absolutely. So taking draft picks away, suspending members of the front office, what is that going to do with the end of the day? It's going to be interesting though. Because Major League Baseball is investigating Astros because of the guy Talbin who shouted the thing at the female reporters. So he's been fired. Who knows if he flips on the Astros. And I've always thought like Don too, how do you cheat something like this with Espionage when you lose players? So Mike Fires was not tender to contract at the end of 2017. Well, you don't say. So he was a little chap. But he also said he's been on the A's and the Tigers. He said, and he told them exactly what was going on with all the players. He said, because when you're cheating like that, the young players get affected and they lose jobs because of it. He said, you can have a young pitcher who doesn't know what's going on, gets knocked around first two, and he gets sent down to the modern leagues, might not ever be called up again because they had the signs. See now, that's another angle to it. Yeah. That you're not just playing with the scores in a game, but people's livelihoods. Yeah. That's, that's tough. Right. Now, Michael, you've always said that whether it's, you know, pintar on the bill of the cap and managers letting it go because, hey, we're cheating too. I wonder if baseball were to do an investigation and tell all the other owners of Major League Baseball, we're going to investigate this and we're going to kind of go around baseball and check things out. Whether they say, you know what, let it go. Because they're afraid their system might be found out. Right. You know, so I'm wondering what baseball's appetite is to catch the Astros in the first place. Like, is it better for them to do the investigation and say they found nothing than to actually say that they found something, that the Astros compromised the championship, but all we can do is take draft picks away. I mean, has that helped the game of baseball? Think about the lives that changed too. Let's say that they had the signs for the Yankees in 2017. If the Yankees go to the World Series and win the World Series, is Jojo already still the manager? Of course he is. No, house timers come on the air and say they're going to make a change no matter what. But boy, the pressure would be on to change if they won the World Series. I mean, a lot of lives change. A lot. Well, everything changes, Michael, because now you're talking about an Astro team that they lost to the Red Sox last year and they lost to the Nationals this year. But they still won a championship. If they didn't win that championship in 2017, we're kind of talking about a team that Bride's made never a bride. They can't win the big game. They can't win the championship. Contract extensions happen because of that championship. Guys may be looked upon differently for their careers because they won the championship there. It affects everybody. And also, you know, we look at Altuve as this amazing player. We look at Springer and everybody that's on the Astros. Do we look at them differently if we found out that they were getting the signs? Like, so it is a colossal story here, but it doesn't seem like the punishment will fit the crime because what can they do? They're not going to take the championship away from the Astros. No, no, but they're going to take draft picks away. So they'll take some draft picks away.  They just kept marching along, kept winning championships. So if Spygate actually did work, other than the effect of their reputation, which I'm not sure Bill Belichick cares about anyway, didn't stop them from going out there, still being the best football team in the league. So if baseball punishes the Astros and they keep winning, yeah, people will say they're cheaters and people will try to claim that the 2017 championship is Fugazi. But at the end of the day, didn't end up being worth it. You won a championship, everybody made their money, and losing draft picks at the end of the day is probably worth it. I wonder if baseball would ever do anything like the silliness that they do in the NCAA where they vacate titles. Alright, so how does that help baseball? You can't give the championship to the Dodgers. They wouldn't even want it. Would you want your championship? You lost, but because of some kind of move violation, we're going to give you the championship? Yeah, but maybe they could say, well, we lost because they were cheating. I understand that. So maybe they would take the championship. But would you, as a Dodger fan, really feel like you won a championship when you didn't do it on the field and celebrate it? Even if you got the championship, you're two years removed from it. Peter, wouldn't that look like a kind of stained championship? No one's going to be... Would you want that? Would you celebrate it now? Have a parade? All of a sudden everyone's wearing goggles and you have a parade? Yeah.


The first more industrial refrigeration system that we're going to look at is going to be the Cascade Cycle or the Cascade Vapor Compression Cycle. So the Cascade Vapor Compression Cycle is one whereby we have two different working fluids. Essentially what we have is two refrigeration systems, one sitting on top of another. And the reason why we have two working fluids is to enable us to get to lower temperatures than we could get to with just a single working fluid. And consequently the fluids would be selected carefully ensuring that we can get down to lower temperatures. And this is for what we would call moderately low temperatures. We're not looking at cryogenics, but we're looking at things minus 25 to minus 75 degrees C. That would be very difficult with our 134A. And consequently you have two different working fluids here. And what we'll do is we'll begin by looking at the process diagram and schematic. And then I'll write out an equation that shows us how to determine the coefficient of performance of our Cascade Vapor Compression Cycle. So here we have the process diagram and the process schematic for our Cascade refrigeration cycle. And the main difference between what we saw before is that we have two compressors. So we have compressor A and compressor B. And we have a heat exchanger operating between the two Cascades instead of what we had before with an evaporator. The evaporator is now down at the bottom. And so heat exchange is going on between the two working fluids. When we look at this on a process schematic or in terms of the process diagram, I should say above we have cycle A and then below we would have cycle B. Now in doing this we do attain a savings mainly in terms of reduced work. And so if we just had a single fluid we would have to add more work in here. And so this could be considered as being the reduced work. And we also attain increased refrigeration because if we only had the one fluid going through this cycle, the throttling process would bring it down to here somewhere. And so the difference between this and this is actually increased refrigeration. So what we're going to do now, we're going to take a look at basically the performance of the heat exchanger where what we have is evaporation going on here. And on the bottom part we have condensation or the condenser unit. We'll take a look at the heat exchanger and that will enable us to determine the coefficient of performance for this cycle. So that's what we'll do next. So looking at the performance of the heat exchanger, what we have is the mass flow rate of fluid from cycle A and the mass flow rate of fluid from cycle B. And we know the change in state or change in enthalpy between each of those fluids. So that's what we can write out. So fluid in cycle B times its change in enthalpy. And the coefficient of performance for this cycle would be whatever desired output, in this case it's refrigeration. So the low temperature heat transfer divided by the net work that we put in. The low temperature, if we look over here, is going to be what is going on in our evaporator here going from 4 to 1. And the net work in is going to be the work in to compressor A as well as B. So that is how we can determine the mass flow rates as well as the coefficient of performance. It depends on the problem that you're working and what is given. But that is an equation for the coefficient of performance. And what we find, no surprise, is that the coefficient of performance here for the cascade system. So we find that the coefficient of performance for the cascade system is higher than for a single fluid unit. And if we look back at our TS diagram, that's because of the savings that we get either through increased refrigeration or reduced work. So that is the cascade vapor refrigeration cycle. The next thing that we'll look at is a multi-stage vapor compression cycle.

Okay, so Top Secret this week is part of our My Little Hacker series, and I like the intro that I made for this, so I'm gonna do it again, and then we're gonna talk about the latest instance of toy hacking. My Little Hacker! Okay, so we posted this up on the socials, and I'm like, hey, try to guess what this is. So, what is this lady in it? This is, and this is the 3D rendering. I like this rendering, so they really give me a good sense of what it is, and this is the CAD output. I finished it out in this morning. This is schematic, so this is replacement brains for the Baby Einstein Tick-A-Long. No, no, no. This is the Baby Einstein Tick-A-Long, and this is a replacement board. You can pop out the board that's in there, and then you can put your own music in it, and if you know what this thing is, and know how it repeats the same songs forever, you probably would put different music in it. All right, do you want to? Yeah, it's like this weird chiptune-y. Yeah, let's go the other way. So this is the toy, which is now off. It's a little like, you know, you need a toy to entertain a young kid, or maybe an adult. Anyone can use it. It's inexpensive.  Kind of like weird, like mutant, and it plays kind of random songs from the memory, and they're kind of, the speaker's pretty good, but the tunes are just kind of like your generic classical tunes that have no copyright infringement issues, and like make your baby smart, whatever. But we want to have it play nine genaels, or maybe a podcast. We don't know, whatever you want. So if we did a previous video where we opened it up and we saw what's in it, it's, you know, of course, this blob chip. There's like three LEDs.  I don't blame them. It's a single-sided paper phenolic board. Here's the switch.  And we tried our I2S BFF to make music and like plug in the speakers. We know, you know, we basically got a proof of concept of what we wanted to do to replace the brains, because we thought like, let's make a new circuit board that fits in here. And instead of playing these pre-programmed tunes, you would be able to customize what audio you want to play. So you can go back to the... This is what it is. Yeah. So it's got a microSD. It's kind of visible on the top left. And the main processor chip is the ESP32 S2. I thought it'd be cool to have Wi-Fi, because then once you've enclosed it in the case, you could use Wi-Fi. We have a Wi-Fi workflow in Circuit Python. And there's also over-the-air programming, of course, in Arduino. And then you could, you know, once you have it set up to look for your Wi-Fi, you could reprogram it and then also upload new files to the SD card. So you can have like new songs. You can change it out. Your kid gets really tired of the pixies. For example, you could change it to Depesh mode, you know. And then if they get tired of Depesh mode, I don't know. I guess they can go to the cure, get tired of the cure, suzing the banshees.  So you can put any size SD card and the ESP32 S2 can definitely play Wi-Files in Circuit Python over I2S. There's an I2S amplifier, our favorite, that Max 98357, which we adore so much. We put it in so many things. There's a STEMI QT port so you can attach sensors or devices. Maybe you have it read data or send data or have an OLED or whatever you want. USB-C for uploading code or, you know, direct communication. If you don't want to do this wireless thing, a little boost converter is kind of on the bottom center there. It takes the three volt battery because we want to use the enclosure. So we'll take the three volt battery pack and boost that up to 3.3 volts because, you know, if you're using rechargeable batteries, it's like 2.6. And we tested it. The ESP32 does not want to run. S2 does not like running off of two rechargeable AA batteries. You really want to have a booster to give a nice clean 3.3 volts. And then we kind of sprinkled a couple neopixels, like five neopixels around to have the same background animation. But it'll be full color, not just three LEDs, a single color because we like color. And then the outline is the same. We kind of, you know, moved it out a little bit, but the same pads for the battery and for the switch connector and then the elastomer. So it should be a dropping replacement. And then, you know, of course, it's you can't expect them to make a product like this would be more expensive than most people want to pay. But for people who want to hack their toys, you know, this can be like 20 bucks or something. And then you can. Yeah, this is this is a nice. Gettify the boy. So, you know, Kitto has one of these. And then eventually it's hard to the music. You can replace the circuit board in it. Wirelessly put any music you want in there. Basically make your own Kitto Spotify or like whatever. It's like it's the music that you want. And then you can, over time, put different music on there. And I think that'll be kind of a neat, you know, parent kid thing. And it's sealed up to an enclosure that's like battle tested. These are super cheap. There's like millions of these out there. They're never going to change the design either. And so I thought this would be a good project enclosure. Yeah, it doesn't change the behavior like maybe a double click does something or like a hold like you can change the behavior a lot easier. I did make the switch do the gain on the amplifier because there's a gain pin on the max. So when you put the switch on to low power, it like drops the gain by like 90 B. So that's still that's still functional. But one of the things I wanted to try to do is one thing I do kind of like about kids toys is you don't have to turn them off. The quiescent current is really, really low.  You're not going to remember to turn it off. And so the ESP 32, another reason I like using the S2 is it has very, very low quiescent current when it's in deep sleep mode. And so I have to, you know, want to experiment, but I'm pretty sure that I can make it so when there's no after some playing a song, it goes into this deep sleep mode. And then when you press the button, it'll wake up in between. It should use like 30 or 40 microampere. So it'll be able to, you know, not as little as whatever this 80, 51 or is, but enough that it should be able to run for a couple of weeks on a low battery. I don't know. We have interesting. I mean, you could also like use text to speech. Like when you press the button, they could say, you know, what the weather is going to be or it could have like personalized messages. I don't know. Like I like the idea of like we're using these like really durable enclosures.  And then using the Wi-Fi workflow to reprogram them. And then, you know, these use double way batteries. So this will be kind of a fun, you know, mod, moditoy type thing. Yeah. That you'll be able to do a lot and, you know, give these as gifts to people on there. Here you go. There's some fun songs. Emojin Heap has a neat song that they engineer to help put babies to sleep.  Yeah, we could play a really nice song. Drift, you know, the drift song. They could play it on loop. And then another thing is that you can change the timeouts. So I don't know. I think it would be kind of fun. Like we've done quite a bit of toy hacking. And, you know, it's interesting. It's like toy, toy hacking and circuit bending is kind of like an old style.  People do toy hacking. They open toys and like change resistors and values to try to retain that. Someone asked, this will retain the baby proofness of it because you're just opening up, changing up the circuit board and then sealing it up again. That's why the Wi-Fi is so cool is that as an adult, you can go in and you can change the code over the circuit, Python Wi-Fi workflow. But like the kiddo like can still chew on. Yeah, it's kind of neat that baby toys are all screws. They and it's like it's funny. It's actually repairable, even though that's probably one of the last things people repair a lot. Anyways, so then we have a little bit of an update. I'll just play the videos. Thirty eight seconds. This is the Teddy Rexman modification that we're doing. Short version. There's these Bluetooth animatronic bears on eBay for $20 or less. It's a rebooted Teddy Rexman company went out of business. So they're just sitting around. You can't put anything on them custom until now. So this is our progress with that project. Not this Wednesday, but the 10 days ago, Wednesday is when I got the audio working in the morning and I don't see which version this is. So now. Let's get this. So now I've got it playing custom audio. So that's a song, a sticky bubblegum that our Aida kiddo likes to listen to. Yeah. So that last picture, I went over to my journey and I typed in Teddy Rexman, Miss Rachel, and I was playing around with a couple of different images. I'm like, oh, that's pretty. That's actually what I'm going to do. I'm going to dress up the Teddy Rexman is Miss Rachel. If you're familiar with Miss Rachel's, she's a music teacher that does like singing videos for kids. And so I made the the graphic. And of course, you know, I had to then later on deal with dudes on social media and said, why do you have to change the gender of the bear? Because that's what you do now. You wait around until there is a picture of a teddy bear that's in overalls and you care about if it's a boy teddy bear or girl teddy bear, because that's what people do on the internet now. That's what we're at. So anyways, that's what that that event is. I thought it was cute. This is cute. So anyways, that's this week's My Little Hacker.


If someone had told 28-year-old Lourdes Simao when she was a young girl that one day she would not only be able to read and write, but would also be encouraging other women to learn to read and write, she would not have believed them. Lourdes was born in Cuamba, in northwestern Mozambique. Her life looked said to be a difficult one. Lourdes' family was never rich, but things became even harder when her father died.  Instead of learning to read and write, the young Lourdes had to embark on farm work alongside her mother so that the family would have enough to eat. Her situation was not unusual in Cuamba. Girls often miss out on educational opportunities in this area, and many of them are married off when they are still very young. Girls had resigned herself to the prospect of never learning to read and write. That all changed when she learned about the Adult Education Literacy Project run by Progreso Association as part of the Girls Inspire Program. Lourdes decided to make the most of the opportunity to learn, even though she was now an adult. Her hard work, commitment and enthusiasm paid off. She can now read, write and count, which means, for example, she can find her way to clinics and hospitals without asking for help. And these days, Lourdes does more helping than asking for help. Her new skills and abilities mean she can help her children with homework. She is so pleased with what she has accomplished and how it has empowered her that she actively encourages her friends to sign up for adult literacy classes, so that they too can learn to read and write.


Oh I should have been in third What's up everybody and welcome back here to the channel? I'm evil rabbit We're here on wreckfest to see if we can't do a little city drifting We do have a new car in here, which we have modified up. We've softened this We've stiffened the suspension all the way up lock the rear diff and Pretty much that's good ratio short. We're gonna see how the drifting is in the game We may have to tweak some settings in our wheel settings and stuff like that to see to get it to feel better But we are going to try and drift today here in wreckfest We're gonna have a little bit of fun. Let's make sure you follow me on Instagram and Twitter all of their found in the description box below Let's get sideways So we do have the full finance that club support wheels set up with our energy innovations wheel hydro cambrake and everything working 100% tarmac here for laps. So like I said, we do have Our stiff suspension gear ratio on short diff locked brake bias set on minimum. So This is what we're gonna run And we're just gonna go for it and see How this works and see if maybe we can get sideways in it. Those are really short gears. Oh my Was not expecting it to do that So the wheel does feel very weird when you get sideways Somebody was telling me that in the comment section down below and I was uh Saying how yeah, oh, oh Oh, it does feel pretty weird when it gets sideways So we're just gonna see how it feels and maybe try and tweak some other characteristics There was a little bit of a slide with the wheel starts to go crazy when we get sideways So we're gonna go back and restart We're gonna go into the game. We're gonna pause it and we're gonna go mess With wheel settings force feedback we're gonna leave a 50 same saturation 100 sensitivity. We're gonna leave at zero so There is no real thing we can adjust Per se So it's almost like that's how it's gonna be So maybe if we lower the sensitivity a little bit, we're gonna give that a shot and see how this works. Oh No, don't quit go up resume. There you go. So we'll see how this works me that may have accidentally screwed us up They still seem pretty good Maybe it's some settings I can mess with on the fan attack, but it looks like it's very hard To really slide sideways in this game Because the wheel just goes crazy once you get sideways So it's gonna be something I'm definitely gonna try and get used to but we are trying to drift here in rec fest There's a little bit of a drift Not all out drift. Maybe we need to soften the suspension up Let's do that. Let's uh Let's restart and Let's soften the suspension up all the way Make this thing super soft and then we're gonna put our gear or show back to Standard so now we will try it this way There's a super soft suspension A little bit more gears This car may not be perfect for drifting but we are trying to drift here in rec fest Okay, that's a little bit better We'll still gets really crazy Once you start going sideways, but we have a Little bit better Oh, it was a bit of a drift more of a more of a wheel slide because the suspension is so soft We're gonna mess with this maybe pull out a different car and Try it, but it's hard to drift in this game on the concrete Drifting on pavements probably way easier or on a dirt is way easier Here we go. That was a little bit sideways That's a bit of a drift. Oh Oh, I should have been in third that would have been perfect. All right now. We're getting somewhere. Oh turn Turn down you. Oh, no lock. We're getting somewhere though. We're starting to Realize how the car reacts so we can actually oh now we're getting it. Oh When the wrong gear destroyed my trans now we're getting sideways here in fest It's a minute, but we're getting it It the goal is to not countersteer as fast. This is hard. So let's try maybe Switching up view, maybe it'll hinder, but we are trying to drift here on the pavement Here in rec fest. I had it. Oh, this is so much more difficult Than other games because the wheel just gets really crazy But we are someone getting sideways Not a not the smoothest drifting in the world, but we are drifting We're gonna get hit up to maybe some dirt do some sideways stuff in the dirt with this car. There we go Now we're getting it slowly starting to get it. It's all about just like Controlling that craziness of the wheel once they get sideways And I think we may Have figured it out here on our second lap. Oh I needed more power even more speed or handbrake. Whoo. Oh, let me make sure my Drift mode is not accidentally on it is off. Well We could turn let's try turning The wheel to negative five drift mode, which gives it a very stiff Feel. Oh my it has no snapback then. Okay, so it's negative five is too much Let's try negative two Now doesn't snap back as fast. This might be better We may have found the ticket. It doesn't have as much snapback. So we're gonna rip this next lap It has still has snapback, but it's not as crazy. There's some sort of a wheel deadening to Help prevent the wheel from snapping back and forth so fast advantage of having the fan attack Being able to adjust that Not enough not enough lock. So negative two is a little bit too much So we're gonna go to negative one, which may be Yep negative one is the ticket. So that is where we need to be so now I think We will be good and we're gonna shut that outside on it actually adjust some settings We don't have wheel lock. So it's all about not spinning too much. This is rough. This is hard If you have breakfast try drifting See if you can be smooth. I Know a couple of the JSI guys were doing it and they were pretty smooth with it. So it's kind of a weird drift We're gonna throw this thing in the dirt for sure. We go Now we're getting it We found the money Adjusting our wheel. Oh our wheel basically friction modifier Drift mode Allowing it to have a little more friction snap back and forth. We're just helping us in aspect of The snap back and forth So we do have a nice little slide going Keep you guys on six years clutch kick Get out So I think ow, we're gonna go try a dirt track and See about getting more sideways in the dirt track drifting in rec fest Not as easy as I thought it was gonna be so we're gonna try it again in another track But I think we found a little bit better wheel setting Just to guard wheel setting to negative one drift mode because if you know about the fantastic You have the drift mode setting up to four or five or Believe it's five We can actually go drl We can actually go up to Five So we're gonna be at negative one and five would snap this back and forth so much So I feel like I want to find a nice smooth dirt smooth dirt section That looks like that's got some nice turns and take the same car out But I want to make sure Zero opponents three laps difficulty let's go So we're gonna go load into this do a little dirt drifting and see how well we drift in the dirt Before we end this episode off gonna be messing with it more if you guys have rec fest and you guys have found maybe that that sauce Setting for drifting and caught the best drift car in rec fest Let me know down in the comment section down below because I'd be very interested to see what car you think is the best for Drifting here in rec fest gonna be trying a bunch of different cars in later episodes seeing which car drifts best Here in this game. So once we load in we're gonna get some down and dirty in the dirt in midwest Moto Center and to get sideways and see what we can do with it midwest Moto Center main circuit Leaving everything else how it should be Should be the same as what it was Now we're gonna just gonna try more oh Just so much easier in the dirt though. Oh And it gets a lot more tail happy But it does drift with that locked rear diff So it's definitely easier to drift in the dirt, which I knew it would be but the snapback is still very pronounced I make myself look like I don't know how to drive right now Did I tweak my setting by mistake? Nope, we're still good It's just me just not knowing how to drive at the moment. It's gotta be really smooth on the steering This is hard probably one of the hardest games I've tried to drift in So far to date That's a nice little drift Oh, we were so good until there Oh Maybe this isn't the best car. Maybe I need something with more weight Which we will probably try some other cars on some later episodes right now this car Not the best At drifting it does get sideways But it is very difficult So we guys want to keep seeing wreck vest and seeing you know the trials and tribulations of trying to drift here wreck vest There we go Oh, let me put down the comment section down below and like I said if you guys have that sauce drift car Let me know down in the comments And I'd be very interested to try it So as always I thank you guys for watching I hope you guys Like the video and make sure you guys tap that subscribe button if you're not already a subscriber I do appreciate all the support Oh, there we go Not the fastest way around this track, but you know what? Definitely one of the funnest ways There we go. Now we're getting it 360 freestyle looped it And so as always, I'll be thanking you guys for watching. I'm evil rabbit, and I'll see you guys on the track Oh, don't die


I'm Rick and you follow some Instagram It's so juicy Little thing down right there. Yeah, they're not the missing Wanks cuz they're there. Hey, I'm in a funny We are doing a movie of you our Fifth is it fifth fifth my Lolly alone film. Yep palindrome And we that was the word I was looking for was yeah, I was But the We I remember watching the trailer for this one Oh vividly loving the love of the trailer And I had heard good reviews about it coming out of the people that saw it I believe I heard in India. It wasn't released anywhere except in Karala So it had a minimal release. Yeah, I don't know. I can't remember if it was released here I don't I don't remember. No, I know it made it to the Toronto Film Festival Yeah, but I would imagine if it was only released in South India didn't have broad international anyways, but it's the called Based on our jelly cotton based off of a short story Some shirts are I've never read the short story correct, but director is say his name Li-ho Jose Pelle said he who we've heard a lot about yes, and had a strong Yeah, recommendation. I'm check for not this film, but it was The diaries one correct. I said he's his favorite director and I've often heard about this director as well. Yes Let's see and then actor wise. There's just a bunch of people in it. There wasn't really a main actor Anthony Antoni. Yeah, Antoni Vargas, but and then it was really an ensemble. Yeah, Anthony and intentionally and It's just Shimbun Vinod. I guess they were the most prominent, but there was really not even a prominent actor in this But anyways 100% for a review came out 2019 if you haven't watched it go watch it come back. It's only 90 minutes. It's not Amazon, right? Yeah, yeah, it's not gonna take you very long It's probably the shortest Indian film we've ever watched probably and it's not just short in the runtime It's short in the way it feels to you. Yeah, it's a quick Anyway Initial thoughts my initial thoughts. You got a paragraph. I got a paragraph With an absurdist's wit of visionary's eye and a conic last courage and a humanitarian's heart Liho Jose Pelliceri has created an overtly subversive masterpiece Instantly categorizing him as the Jordan Peele of Indian film and a force to be reckoned with in the world of International cinematic artistry. Dang. That's quite a It's quite a paragraph. I was I was Tremendously impressed with this man. Yeah, the same way I was when I saw Jordan Peele Get out his his initial directorial debut and I was instantly Aware. Oh my goodness, man. We've got somebody in cinema who's gonna say stuff. Yeah this is definitely a I Guess it would call it an experimental film a film with Definitely a film with a message. Oh big message Subversive that that's I think that's the main character in this film is the message That's why there's no standout character. There isn't supposed to be it's the message Yes film and that that was actually as I was watching it You could tell right off the bat that okay, this is a different film Mm-hmm. It's not gonna be a normal sight and you can tell that he's gonna have a message Yes, but you're waiting to figure out what that message is Mm-hmm, and so at first when I was watching it. I was like what one will talk about everything Beautiful. Yeah gorgeous. Yes unique and all that but I was like I'm not relating to anybody here. Why why I did that too at the outset, right? Why am I not relating to anybody? This doesn't make any sense You're wanting to connect like you would with a character and what okay, where's my yeah empathetic connection to the people? Yeah, it's not the point. There's none none you almost yeah, I outside of basically the buffalo or whatever Yeah, yeah, you don't really feel for anybody and this film and that's why it's crazy that it's actually really good film It's not like it's not gonna be anybody's favorite film That's that's I don't think this one's trying to be anybody's favorite film But I think everybody can appreciate how well made this film and the message obviously that that goes along with it Because like it's not gonna be like the lunchbox where you like go. Oh, no you feel like oh, I totally related with those characters No, no, I can watch that over and over again.  Yes, and you'd be like Wow, there was a lot. He was trying to say and it was actually very very clever Very very clever and he does hold he he does with this film. He holds up Both a mirror and a window He I'll I will repeatedly Comparing him over and over in the highest form of flattery to Jordan peel and the same day when when you watch get out and you watch us You can appreciate it for its cinematic value no matter where you live in the world, but when you understand What's going on in American culture and you understand the experience of black Americans and you understand the tensions between Republicans and Democrats.  I feel the same way about this. Yeah, right and the director say his name again Leho, I believe the way it's spelled sir is Leho was they fell asleep and I believe he's only done like eight or nine Films, so he's actually known as relatively new. Yeah to the end director but obviously a very Into and obvious and from what we've heard is best and you can tell us even before we go further What his next one should be should it is it Anga Mali diaries, right? Abhishek Banerjee Recommended to us and a ton of other people have recommended to us. Yeah, but I want to talk about one of the most Striking things of it is the the cinematography. Yep, and then we could talk about the sound. Yep But the cinematography the way one this man knows how to do a long tracking shot mm-hmm like Nobody's business Like and also I don't think you realize how complicated it is to shoot in the dark and make it look that beautiful Yeah Yeah, guys It is extraordinarily difficult to to film in the dark and Make it make it first of all look believable So that you think you're seeing night because to make it look like a night on film You have to go to great lengths. You can't just put a camera out at night But then to make it look artistically beautiful mm-hmm and maintain your production design the shots went and even before we get to the end the shots were You just see The hills and the trees and everybody's lanterns. Yes They did that multiple times multiple times and it was so freaking gorgeous the way obviously This is setting Karala and it's beautiful, right? And obviously Karala as we know is a just a beautiful country But he made this so much more pretty and beautiful that they send a talk of it Say his name for me. The cinematographer is now a job good. Ish Gangadani. Mm-hmm, right or no Gangadaran, so forgive me if I'm mispronouncing your names, right? I want to get that right sometimes so frigging gorgeous in this And then also the sound design of this entire film one. It was unique Yep, I get started off unique because it started off with them the opening and closing of eyes, right? Mm-hmm close open close and then it went into like bugs Right with the breathing in the clock the breathing in the clock, which I believe the clock was actually going in reverse It may have been and he brings it back later But then it also goes from that to the cleaving of the you know the meat cleaver Yeah, there was like right at the off the bat. I was like this director is just showing off Yeah, this is one of those this is one of those like our last movie review where I was jumping up and down about sound if you can If you don't have Surround sound do yourself a favor. I would love to watch us in theaters Oh, man much better that would have been the best but but at the very least do yourself a favor and put on headphones Or like I was able to have the AirPods because you can capture the nuances of the sound and The I mean there were times where it was clearly dubbed sound and it was so Spectacularly done. It was just in my mind pure Foley work just gorgeous Wonderful Foley work where even even sound itself became a character in the film. Oh, yeah, right?  Were you laughing? Yeah, I was laughing so hard and wonderful and we'll get into the deeper meanings of it. Yeah We'll conclude with that But that's the last one went there all piling on top of each other. I mean, it just Yeah, it's just and but the sound he chose is basically just slabs of meat slabs of meat Each other like Yeah And it was very reminiscent of that hard to watching in Game of Thrones when if you haven't seen just skip ahead like this You have a 30 seconds ahead when he's under all the people in the battle. Oh, yeah Yeah, that's exactly what it reminded me of but he's trying to get to the top Yeah, I had the exact same feeling yes during that. Well, you would yeah Yeah, it's an awful awful feeling yeah, yeah to the claustrophobic Yeah, to even think about being in a setting like that, but yeah, so everything is in this entire thing a The only thing that wasn't spectacular and I don't think it was supposed to be it was like the acting It was just it was fine. It was like but this is not an actor driven film This is the director correct the in the sound design in the cinematography There are the stars and this film all you need is people to be believable They're not even really given anything that they need to go with you don't need to empathize with a particular character Yeah, this is not a lot of storylines There's one that they're the main reason is this guy's trying to buy and get a bowl meat for the right of the wedding But then that's really all that is that's just because you have to have a subject Yeah, and then and then there's one thing at the end where the two guys are fighting And then that's it's over pretty quickly, but it's a great sequence Great fine sequence. Yeah, like in the entire like the way he did the cinematography and the tracking and like this director knows how to shoot Well, and the character element of it is I don't even remember a single character's name and you don't need to you're not supposed to Because it's a metaphor. It's it's not supposed to really give you A sense of its permanence in time space continuum because what it's giving to you in fact It's actually I don't think it's in the reality. It's not intended to be that way It's it's it's definitively allegorical and metaphorical and that is it and it's wanting to show you something about Multiple facets of the human experience and what is wrong with it. Mm-hmm Like yeah, what is wrong? I mean I I kept writing these things down of Things as simple as just herd mentality. Yeah But that's deep when you talk about some things particularly with issues Regionally within India. Yeah, and how many people jump on Herd mentality or the the proverbial bandwagon. Yeah, and you know, which one here is the animal Mm-hmm. That's another message it gets across to you Which one is truly the wild beast on the rampage here sounds of nature are constantly being overrun by the sounds of men He will consistently give you the tranquility and the natural order And violate it. Mm-hmm with something of the grunting or the chopping or the machinations Of men who are so blinded That's one of the absurdist hysterical things is all of this Is to stop a bull. Yeah Yeah, that's one of the I think that really really is basically the message is even something as wild as a bull is not as wild and beast like as Primal men and how primal they are correct. And so basically in the beginning I I'm pretty sure uh after I said it after I looked it up the clock That kept coming was actually moving back was ticking backwards. It's ticking backwards and showing that men were going back in time And we're regressing we're regressing. Yes as men and it was actually I think on purpose The that it was mostly all men that were all 100% were doing the the basic Beast like cavemen like oh, yeah, uh, I mean obviously kept getting worse and worse and worse and worse And basically it's just we're all just Hunters, but they they told themselves lies like at the end This is this one of the gorgeous things about the and there's so many gorgeous things about the end but the gorgeous things was They kept telling themselves that they're trying to catch a bull to You know protect each other right to save their crops to do to whatever But in the end when the one person finally caught it Then that didn't matter It was never about that it was never the him right and then they were mad at that guy who caught it Right, and they wanted they wanted to be that guy and so then they just kept piling on because now they wanted to be The person on top ego So literally it was who's going to end up on top. It was greed and it was um a selfishness Yes, and all I love You miss it if you're if you're so Panged with love of animal that you don't want to witness the the abuse of an animal You have it's hard to watch but you have to get past it in order to see the message because The moment where that's happening and he zooms in on the bull's face There's that immediacy of the tragicness which there is a tragicness to it But it's also almost like the bull's looking at you going really This was all over a bull. I don't think so guys. Are you getting them? This isn't about me everybody These this is not about me. Uh, it's about It's got messages that are powerful about toxic masculinity. Yeah It's got messages about the herd mentality as we already mentioned in terms of where you affiliate yourself without thinking politically religiously socially Dietarily in every single way forcing you to reconsider the things that you do based on Am I just conforming? Is it just societal normalcy? Yeah, uh, and and the I One of my favorite moments Burn the jeep Because that is exactly what happens you watch things devolve We're watching it here in america Where everything devolves and the very thing that was central Is not central by any stretch of the imagination. You've gone from A bull is loose and we should catch it because it's dangerous to Burn the jeep That's just brilliant. Yeah Just brilliant and it was actually another part that I thought was so interesting and though The more you think about it after you get to the end, it was actually Quite smart that one point where the man he came back in to get his rope But then he was sexually assaulting This woman. Yes. Yes. Yeah, it was like, oh what is going on. Yes hard to watch But then he says i'm going to catch the bull I caught him and then she changes her tune And she's like he'll give me a piece and she looked all lovey-dovey and it's like wait Are they in a relationship? Did she right want that to happen? And so it was basically going to that caveman Thing yes, even them she was looking out for number one. Oh, he's he's now the alpha male Right, I need to be with him to Basically to get what I need to get what I need exactly and so like he even tied in the women In in basically the primal Yes, and and did for me the summation at the end which there's so much He's doing symbolically like you already mentioned the who's going to be on top You know the male ego the other thing that I saw which was juxtaposed to that that sequence Because we consistently went back to the old man diet. Yeah, right and his breathing and time And what I got I don't know if this is what he intended It's one of the beautiful things about cinema is that you can get a message for you in the moment Yeah, I believe providential and serendipitous, but maybe not intended I wonder about his intentionality with the message of These three things I saw at the end first was while that is piling up The man grabs that rope and he pulls himself up and he sees outside his window the bull In its natural habitat and he has this encountered with it, which is very much the adage and the truth of So many men Humans but men in particular go to their death bed and it's only then Where they get the right perspective about existence And they look at things the way they were intended to be from the beginning and the way they're supposed to be And they look back upon a life for all of this ego and all of this conquest and all of this destruction And at the end of life like at the end of the day They look back on it and recognize What was I do excuse me the absurdity of what I was contributing to that was completely outside of what the created order was supposed to be And they literally not only create this ego pile But it's a it's a literal tower Tower of babel Because they don't stop yelling like cavemen even when they're making the Pile right and it's just this job and they're all still coming Because everybody wants to get on the pile and then during the credits Did you watch that animation during the end credits because at the end credits There's this animation that takes you right back to caveman days and what he's pointing out to is We are no better than we were then with these. Where is the evolution of mind? Where's the evolution of society? Where's the evolution of our common Shared humanity and recognizing the order of things and what we prioritize And it was just freaking brilliantly hysterical that in sequence was and obviously he took you out it It showed you that basically this is not Our reality that this is in obviously people don't know the pile on top of each other and yeah The sequence was so beautiful And gorgeous and then it was just so when he was trying to get out And I think it was that part was in the trailer a little bit of it When he was trying to get up people just clawing at him. Yes Oh great sequence. Yes, probably the only thing that I really really disliked and I'm not even sure if I disliked I kind of go back and forth sometimes was the end When he spoon fed you that this was basically cavemen Uh, oh, you didn't like that. I don't like being spoon fed I didn't feel there was a spoon feeding here. I get it because some people do need to be kind of spoon fed. Yeah But I don't like that. I I prefer people to come to that conclusion on their own Yeah, it didn't bother me. Yeah, I agree with you. Yeah, I agree with you But I think that may I think would have been a stronger end the way like with the pile and him trying to get out I think that would have been a much more powerful And then then cutting to it was a beautiful sequence the way they did it and it was nothing like that It's just I don't like when they basically nail it down like I didn't the reason that I didn't feel it was a spoon feed Uh, is because I felt like it was more of a slap on the face I felt it was him at the end going, okay So for all of you who who don't have the intelligence quotions or the emotional quotients to understand what I just said Here it is. Yeah, that's why the spoon feed is. Yeah. No, I didn't feel it was a spoon feed to tell you versus it was Uh If I can get one person at this moment to have their aha I just prefer To have people find that on their own as opposed to oh, I would too. That's like one of the only gripes that I have Yeah, I love terms of artistic wise. I like it too. Yeah One other thing because I'm sure some of you will comment about this We know and you said it at the very beginning We know that the title of this is derived from and the buffalo running Is derived from an actual celebration thing. I think that I answered it in 2017. They stopped it, but it's in Tamil Nadu It's not in Kerala. Okay. Yeah Uh, and he took this as the emblem through which he was going to convey this because that Celebration like other celebrations that are happening in different cultures around the world everything from the running of the bulls to fighting They they have Irrespective of what you may believe culturally about the historicity of those things and their value inherent in the culture At the core what they do bring to the forefront of the mind of the person watching it who's unfamiliar with it isn't cultural It's ego. Hmm. It's Masculinity at its most toxic level and not stewardship of creation Domination of creation. Yeah, and I love that he took this and made this the template Through which he was going to tell you Here's what's wrong. I believe it was cancelled. I'm hoping it wasn't ever brought back Yeah, that whole festival.  I was I don't understand why men are so obsessed with Bulls and you do understand. You just don't agree. Yeah, I do. I'm with you We understand it. We just don't agree with it. I don't get it.  He took the name of it. It was kind of another Thing to tie into it because because it's a good name for it because that's essentially What it was. Yeah, um, but yeah, it was Really really really good. I'm hoping I'm hoping if you haven't seen yet, you're still not around but What of Lijo Yeah, either Lijo or Lijo. I don't know if that's the proper pronunciation Watch of his films because I know he has a Big reputation of doing a lot of really good work. What of his films should we watch? Yeah next It's very excited about the die the diary one the whatever. I would love to talk to him He seems like a really intelligent director. Um, so let us know down below


Mark Kingen announced as Acting Commissioner of SARS. Johannesburg. Mark Kingen has been appointed as Acting Commissioner for the South African Revenue Service, SARS, following the suspension of Thomas Moyni, the Commissioner of SARS by the President, National Treasury said in a statement on Tuesday. Kingen is currently the acting chief officer, business and individual taxes, within SARS. He has been with SARS since its establishment and worked his way through the ranks to become the group executive, relationship management within business and individual taxes. Meanwhile, the Democratic Alliance, DE, has welcomed the suspension of South African Revenue Service, SARS, Commissioner Tom Moyni, saying that it also demands a full investigation of the revenue service under Moyni's leadership. The presidency announced late on Monday that Moyni was suspended with immediate effect pending the institution of disciplinary proceedings. President Cyril Ramaphosa said Moyni's suspension was in the public interest to restore the credibility of SARS without delay. Ramaphosa said that developments at the SARS under Moyni's leadership have resulted in a deterioration in public confidence in the institution and in public finances being compromised and that for the sake of the country and the economy, this situation cannot be allowed to continue or to worsen. Earlier reports said Moyni was initially asked to resign by President Cyril Ramaphosa and when he refused he was suspended with immediate effect. We wish to thank Mr. Kingen for availing himself to serve SARS and the country in this capacity, said the statement from Treasury.


I and welcome to the session. I am Shashi. Let us do one question. Question is, if A is equal to matrix cos alpha sin alpha minus sin alpha cos alpha, then verify that A transpose multiplied by A is equal to I, where I is the identity matrix. First of all, let us understand the KIDR to solve the given question. If A is equal to Aij bn m into n matrix, then the matrix obtained by interchanging the rows and columns of A is called transpose of A. The transpose of the matrix A is denoted by A dash. In other words, if A is equal to matrix Aij of the order m into n, then A transpose is equal to matrix Aji of the order n into m. Let us start with the solution now. We know K is equal to matrix cos alpha sin alpha minus sin alpha cos alpha. Now, we can obtain A transpose by interchanging the rows and columns of A.  Now, we have to find A transpose A.  After multiplying the two matrices, we get cos alpha multiplied by cos alpha plus minus sin alpha multiplied by minus sin alpha. Now, next second element of the first row is cos alpha multiplied by sin alpha plus minus sin alpha multiplied by cos alpha. First element of the second row is sin alpha multiplied by cos alpha plus cos alpha multiplied by minus sin alpha. Now, next element of the second row is sin alpha multiplied by sin alpha plus cos alpha multiplied by cos alpha. We had multiplied first row with first column for this term, then first row with second column for this term and second row with first column for this term and second row with second column for this term.  Now, we know sin square alpha plus cos square alpha is equal to 1.  Similarly, sin alpha cos alpha minus cos alpha sin alpha would also be equal to 0. Then, sin square alpha plus cos square alpha is equal to 1. So, we get A transpose A is equal to matrix 1 0 0 1 which is equal to i. So, we get A transpose A is equal to i. Verify, this is our required solution. This completes the session. Hope you enjoyed the session. Take care and goodbye.
