So, in this lecture, we will discuss about the protons in cotton, it is a class of protons in cotton, which is used for the spellation neutron sources. So, first of all, when we are talking about the spellation neutron source means, this accelerator is used for getting the neutrons. So, what are the other neutron sources? So, very small scale neutron sources consists of some natural radioactive isotopes and some artificially created radioactive isotopes naturally was used by the rather forward in his experiment. Now, for getting higher and higher flux, some artificially created radioisotopes are used and mainly californium 252 is used as a neutron source and it gives the 10 to 9 neutrons per second type of flux. And this californium is obtained through nuclear reactors. Other small scale neutron sources are sealed tubes and some small accelerators. In this kind of you can have 2.5 mm proton from a very small linaque and impinges those protons on the lithium target. So, a decent flux can be obtained using this kind of isotope neutron sources.  And by capturing the neutron, these emit the 2 or 3 neutrons as well as some fragments. So, a nuclear reaction takes place and schematically this is shown here. So, this is the neutron, it impinges on the target, target may be the uranium 235 or plutonium 239 nucleus and after this reaction, there are some fragments, some small nucleus can be created and neutrons are generated. So, 2 to 3 neutrons are generated per reaction. And so on an average, we can say that 2.5 neutrons are generated in one nuclear reaction. And out of these 2.5, one neutron is used for sustaining the chain reaction and you can say that 0.5 neutrons roughly lost in the absorption. So, one neutron per fission is available to the user. The flux from these kind of reactors, neutron flux which we get is 10 to 15 per second or 10 to 2 like that. This is the nuclear reaction which is shown here and on each nuclear fission, we get roughly 200 mab thermal energy. When a high particle impinges on a nucleus, the nucleus disintegrates in nucleons and light nuclear particles. So, what is the expalation and how it is different from the fission we see now. This is a very, very high energy particle. In case of fission, the energy of these particles will low, either it is a thermal neutron or the fast neutron. In this case, it may be one GV proton and it impinges on the target nucleus. Target nucleus may be a high Z material, even it can be a uranium 238 and a large number of neutrons and protons are ejected through this nucleus and some light nuclei can be ejected as fragments and some other particles are also ejected. So, the basic difference from the fission is that in fission, large fragments are there. In this case, small fragments are there and a large number of nucleons are ejected. So, if a target is suitably built, one GV proton can eject 20 to 30 neutrons. So, we can get a high flux of neutrons by this kind of sources. So, how these sources are made using the accelerator? We see now. First of all, we have some proton sources, then a linear accelerator which accelerates the protons up to highest energy or up to some desired energy level. And then after acceleration, these protons, it is the target. There may be two kind of espalation source based on the accelerator. One is long pulse espalation neutron source and the other one is the short pulse espalation neutron source. In long pulse espalation neutron source, protons hit the target directly from the linac. While in the short pulse espalation source, after linac, there is a ring. This ring may be a synchrotron or an accumulator ring and after that, these protons ejected from this ring and then these protons hit the target. So, how these are different? We see now. From ion source or linac, we can accelerate a long pulse of protons. However, the current is not so high. We can say this is the number of protons. This is not so high. So, a small current or low peak current, but a longer pulse. This pulse has the pulse length of Tp. This may be 1 to 2 millisecond long. This pulse can be accelerated. Very high peak current or high peak high pulse current cannot be obtained directly by the ion source or if it is available, then it cannot be accelerated in the linac. Because of the low energy part, there is a severe problem of a space charge. We will see again this kind of problem a little bit in this lecture. What is the space charge problem? Already, you might have learned about some space charge problem in the linac in your linear accelerator modules. So, very high current cannot be obtained at lower energies. So, a lower current and longer pulse is accelerated and then via multi-turn injection scheme. What is that scheme? Means, suppose we have an accelerator in which these protons or ions will be injected through a line. You can say H negative ion or proton and now after injection, these will revolve in the ring. So, say this is the T-revolution is the revolution type. Now if T-revolution is much, much smaller than T-pil, then how the pulse will be injected? Means pulse head will be injected first and it will keep revolving and it will make many revolutions until the tail will be injected. So, in this fashion, the complete pulse will be injected in many turns. So, if suppose T-revolution is near the T-p by 1000 or 2000 means 1000 or 2000 turns injection will be there. Means head will be injected first and when tail will be injected, the head will revolve around 1000 or 2000 turns. So in this fashion, finally the pulse of particles will be of only T-revolution type. Means this pulse time has been reduced to T-revolution but has become very intense. So, by multi-turn injection scheme, we can get very short but high peak neutron pulses. And when this high peak neutron pulses impinges on the target, it generates a very high flux of neutrons. So, we can say that accelerator-based dispensation neutron source are pulsed neutron source and it generates a very high peak flux of the neutrons while the reactor-based system generates a continuous flux of neutrons. So, if a user wants very high peak flux of neutrons in the pulsed mode, then accelerator-based dispensation source is the choice and if user wants a continuous flux of neutrons, high flux of neutrons, then reactor is the choice. It means reactor and dispensation sources are complementary to each other in case of the neutron sources. Now in case of synchrotron radiation sources, the main goal was to increase the brightness of the emitted radiation. Means we want to lower down the beam emittance as much as possible. Means reducing the beam emittance was the goal for the accelerator designer. Here, instead of emittance, the main thing is the beam power as much as you can. If we have higher beam power, higher beam power means it will eject large number of neutrons from the target. So, we want to increase the yield of the neutrons from the target, so we have to have very high beam power in the accelerators. Now, how this high beam power can be achieved and what is the beam power actually, how it is defined? We see this. We know that if charged particles are passing through a point, it constitutes a current. So, suppose n number of charged particles has passed in time t, then i average is n cuban. So, this is known as average beam current of an accelerator, that how many charge has been passed through a point in one circuit. This is the similar to the electrical point definition. Now, if we multiply this average beam current with energy of the beam, here pay attention to the units. Energy should be in EV, while current should be in the ampere, so we will get the average beam power involved. Now, how current and energy gives you power? We can see here that suppose there are n number of particles, so how much energy it contains? It contains n into E into, this energy is contained into the beam. If what is the current now, or what is the power, we want to calculate the power, so this is the energy contained in the beam. So, if energy contained is divided by time, that how much time is taking to cross these n particles at a point, then it will give you the power. Now, instead of joule, if we convert this E joule into the electron volt, we will get n cube E electron volt upon t. This n cube t is the average beam current, and this EEV is the energy, so power becomes all average into EEV. By a simple calculation, we can see what is the required beam power in a special source. Let the required neutrons per second from source is tenders to 17, this is the flux of the neutrons per second, that is tenders to 17 neutrons per second, we want. This is a typical number because from the reactor, we get almost in the order of tenders to 14 to 15 neutrons per second, so in the peak flux we want 1 to 2 order more neutrons than the reactor, so we take a simple number of tenders to 70. Now consider a 1GV proton, 1GV proton when it impinges on the target and if the target is well built, then it can easily eject out 20 neutrons. So how many protons will be required for so many neutrons, we calculate it, tenders to 17 by 20. So number of protons required to generate tenders to 17 neutrons will be tenders to 17 upon 20 because 1 proton ejects 20 neutrons, so number of protons will be 20 times less than the neutrons. So this gives you 5 into tenders to 15 protons, now what is the average current due to this number of protons, so average number of current will be number of proton multiplied by the charge, charge on the proton is 1.6 into tenders to minus 19 coulomb and we have seen that if this proton, number of proton is for 1 second, then we have divided this number by 1 second to get the current, this gives you 800 micro ampere, means an accelerator having 1GV proton energy, if it operates with 800 micro ampere of average beam current, it can generate tenders to 17 neutrons per second with a suitably designed target. So what is the power of beam, just current this is 800 micro ampere, so I have converted into the ampere, so 800 into tenders to minus 6 and 1GV, I have converted into the EV that is 1 into tenders to 9 and it gives you 800 kilowatt. So 800 kilowatt of beam power is required to eject so many neutrons.


world it is me or I however it's proper Erika with artist till death here in my house slash studio and I'm gonna make some artwork with you guys today I got a comment on our channel that said it was very nice but it was like a critical I don't know how it wasn't like critical but it was an opinion-based comment that I always appreciate hearing from you guys essentially they said I miss your old schoolways of art-ing all the swipes and super tilts and things and I realized that I've pretty well deviated a bit from how we art-ed in the beginning which I think you know everyone evolves as an artist however I don't want to lose any of that and so tonight I'm going to do swipes but I'm gonna do them a little different I'm gonna use some of our awesome possum already patented trowel sticks and I have gloves on so I can't get this paper off when you order these they'll come with a brown paper on them and that's just to ensure that doesn't get scratched in transit but you just pull this paper off and you're good to go just wipe it off in between each use and as long as you're nice to your trowel stick they'll be nice to you I mean they didn't tell me that but I feel like that's got to be true we usually just I can't I don't have nails and I have gloves on so I just use another stick to pop that off everybody that I've heard use my sticks love them and tonight we're using the trowel ones so they have these little teeth and so I'm gonna use this to swipe and it's gonna give me kind of a combed swipe look very excited and I'm gonna do it on a piece that I did a while back with some chameleons so you can see it this artwork through and then I'm going to use another board that I had painted on a while back what but I painted it out white and we're going to swipe on there as well so hello everybody thank you for coming in I appreciate you guys so much for coming in and spending time with me I know time is very valuable and it just means the world so thank you guys thank you thank you to everyone and super special thanks to my mods you guys are the best so I'm gonna start I went ahead and mix my colors already first of all I went ahead and mixed eight ounces for these two 12 inch boards I'm gonna start with my abalone I didn't use a lot just a little bit so that it's translucent you can still see through it but the sparkle is amazing and breathtaking and everything and this is kind of like a skim coat but it's a little bit thicker so I want to create some separation some distance and depth between the layers and so to do that I have kind of a thicker skim coat it's not quite as much as a flood coat but more than just greasing the pan so to speak nice I'm gonna do the same on the white one I'm doing two because these boards are kind of small and my lives have been really fast here lately on the countertop right there isn't about so the sloppy Joe stuff is seasoning is on the fridge whatever you're looking for but both are right there they didn't have the can stuff sorry so all times pressured but so are you you guys are amazing thank you so much you make my whole heart happy so I have the milk nope abalone based on both of my pieces so we have a subtle sparkle but you can still see the chameleon through from the last one which is fine I like to paint in layers when I have a piece that hasn't sold for a while I just will yeah just a little bit I when I have a piece that hasn't sold then I'll just paint over it will do something different but I like to have the first layer still showing through because I don't want to waste anything and also it creates depth it creates separation and it's awesome so let's get started I am going to use this is midnight black from lores very opaque black I'm going to use color passions base cell whites very opaque and I'm going to use my new favorites gold the rich gold shimmer from color obsession I should get some interesting effects the resin I'm using tonight is stone coat art coat if you would like some stone coat of your very own it's the best resin I work with for most applications you can use code y'all y a l l all caps and a punctuation to get 15 13 or 15 percent off I cannot remember so since this one has some artwork under it I'm going to try to apply my resin for my swipe this is going to be negative space swipe I'm going to try to apply it so that it kind of makes sense with the design so essentially I'm going to go this way instead of this way because if I were to cut across the middle when everything is going this way in the flow it's just going to look separated and not very nice in my opinion and then while I have it out we'll go ahead and do just both at the same time and next I'm going to add the gold who doesn't like a beautiful black white and gold painting this is a floating and a sinking gold I know that is counterintuitive but it does both beautifully just to wait and now I'm going to add the black just through everything boom love the look of black white and gold so if you'll pardon me for one moment I need a sippy sippy break tink adult chocolate milk let's get to it so I'm going to take my trowel stick and I'm going to use it to swipe so usually I use a swiping paper and I make sure that it is horizontal but in this case have you guys ever gotten a resin in your mouth it just happened to me not not the most delicious I'm going to kind of comb through it at an angle and yes that's 45 degrees and when you swipe remember that whatever color you put your swiping apparatus whether it's a piece of paper or a stick or a spatula whatever it is that you use wherever it is that you lay your tool that's what's going to be the most presenting color so if I lay my stick like this to where it goes from the black to the gold to the white and I'm going to have that ombre a black golden white in my swipe so let's oh my goodness how gorge is that now there are some bubbles so we'll hit those with some heat and get rid of those but that comb through y'all loving it loving it already my husband's in there making fun of my y'all but it's fine okay so I'm going to start the swipe going kind of the so the first one I started like this tilting to the left this I'm going to start tilting to the right for no other reason than I just want to see what it'll do you guys I put a little extra pressure and it's scooped this big wisp how gorge and I love that you can see the original pour through it in these comb swipe right here yes yes B I love how this looks just so you know I know you can't see it because you're in there cooking and I'll love you but I just want you to know that this is amazing very very good I guess I'm gonna do this way again even though I'm running out of real estate so I like how it looks when I pull in all of the colors that I have so it's not just a whole like white swipe or black swipe or gold swipe I'm going to go to where I can pick up all of the colors oh I'm so impressed with myself and I don't say that that much I'm not the end I'll be all by any means but how beautiful is that layout oh I'm so excited cat you're a y'all user too I feel better okay so okay we need to do the other side okay wait okay go okay wait so a lot of what I swiped to this way it's obviously already used in swipe so I'm gonna just add some more of the other colors just a little bit so that I have something to pull on the other side I probably don't need any more of the black but but we'll see and then of course more of this gold because Irma Gerd loving it okay so every time I finish with a swipe I'm wiping off on this edge here most of the resin so that I don't have any color transfer okay I'm gonna go I'm gonna do this angle but I'm not gonna do it exactly where this one was because I want it to stagger so it doesn't look like I just parted someone here so to speak someone's here rather one fourth is half of the orange one you said one fourth or one and one fourth okay so you need a blue a whole blue one and then half of the orange one so impressed right now so I'm putting a lot of the pressure down in the beginning and then I'm kind of lightening up on the edges and that way it kind of just drops that whole scoop of color that I've swiped over I'm so excited so the gold is rich gold shimmer from color obsession I currently in this moment have some in my shop so cat what was the question so I'm gonna try to pull this way so I can get some of the white involved just gave it a little bit of a little bit of like some swirl action so this looks a whole bunch like a feather now but honestly I'm here for it I love this look I now want to take it to a larger scale I think if you were to be doing countertops and included some of this magic it would look amazing and it's going to do more as it sits there and relaxes and we're going to hit it with some heat to pop the bubbles the blue blaze go ahead and do that and see what happens I'm not trying to create any movements I'm just popping bubbles I don't want to thin out the resin too much I don't want to um heat it too much because then it will thin out and then you could lose your lines by the way I'm getting some cells and over here there should be a tea tiny no it should be a tea tiny can and the kitchen and the pantry it's all right we'll swipe through that I was gonna put this up but I'm just going to leave it here just so that we can see how it moves morphs and grows I'm going to put a line of white here here okay just wipe that bad boy off and check this one out this one I'm going to use my tea tiny baby Bowie stick a little Bowie Charles stick if I can find it there it is so this one is smaller and so the little notches are smaller so I'm going to see what it looks like over here if it doesn't look right we'll just switch back over to the small size all right so I'm going to pick up all of the colors yep uh I hesitated all right we're going to try to reswipe it you ready I'm not ready okay I'm ready okay wait okay go so I'm allowing it to go all the way to the bottom just to see what it looks like and it I feel like it pulled too much of it because my notches are smaller I'm closer to the surface so I think I'm going to just reswipe that whole bit so I'm just going to cover it with more resin because I scooped it all that way and so this one I'm just going to glide across the top but I'm still going to try to pick up a bit of all the colors so this tinier one takes a little bit more finesse but I think it still gives a like a fine comb type look so I'm going to do a couple of these ones and then I think I'm going to fill in with the bigger one just because it's a little bit difficult I think so this has got an offset handle so you can go you can work more comfortably without really worrying about scraping your knuckles across the piece which I have done more times than I'm actually comfortable telling you guys okay so I'm going all the way to the surface I'm letting up and so it kind of deposited a little bit of color there so good to know I'm going to just alternate how I scoop this I just love this comb through look it just looks so dimensional it looks like there's actually ribs I just want to do I just want to do a portrait now and just say this is the hair which is completely absurd for me to do a big portrait just because I want to do the hair and we're going to redo that one feel like I need more gold oh no there's never too much gold just just an FYI I may decide just to tilt this one when we're done with it just to see what it'll do see what difference is oh that one got out of hand but let's heat it and tilt it around and see what it does sometimes you do a piece and it's great technique wise but um Fonzie looking hey isn't it wasn't that the font you didn't heat a a little bit of heat to get some motion and tilt this bad boy around and see what it does because I don't know what a wrecked comb swipe looks like oh that's something new did I invent something it sounds like something they probably people would be about because they do like wrecked bloom pores and all such things you guys I am very much loving this texture we've got going on loving the waves this went from I don't know if I'm digging it too okay okay how okay I want to do a huge one I want to do a massive like headboard piece I love it just the way it is nobody can tell me anything about what this piece looks like because nobody I don't okay ooh you could get a wood grain out of this I don't want to drip on our first venture now I'm wondering should I tilt around our first piece the og do we need to tilt this guy or do we like him how he is oh my goodness if I actually I'm gonna leave it I'm gonna leave the dot I'm gonna call it a signature anyone else see roasted marshmallows okay well I love roasted marshmallows so I'm with you 100% on this being a roasted marshmallow so thank you tg for linking our shop I sell these super affordable little reusable all you do is just wipe them off after each use stir sticks as long as you're nice to them they'll stick around yeah and why not yeah you have to be sweet and then they'll be sweet be look at my this don't tell me how much you love my this because it's pretty amazing you have to be sweet you have to clean them off this is my favorite this looks like some rocky road just go they were saying toasted marshmallows yes very that and so I'm wondering if I need to tilt this one around a la that look tilt this one okay let me okay it's been a minute since I've done a technique that turned out to be like my new ultra favorite and this is my new ultra favorite okay nope okay let's get some motion and our little ocean doesn't it seem so counterintuitive that you heat resin to thin it out but then it heats itself up to cure and you know solidify I almost said harden but it is not atd after dark it is 625 so petrified wood I see that a lot of you may already have some of our super awesome trowel sticks and if you do I encourage you to give this look the shots and if you don't I happen to have them available on my website artists ill death comm supporting my little tea tiny baby shop supports our dream to live off of our artwork and it would mean so much to me if you guys would try our everything there was a floater and I had to get it out and now the undercolors are showing maybe I'll just nope this hide that right in there so now I just have to decide where I want the center of the pc I think you guys are right I think the tilt was a good idea love it all love it all that one's definitely my favorite but love it all but I want to know what you guys think the sparkles on both of them is abalone shell by resin art I should have some in stock on my website if not I'll have it in really soon so which one is your favorite the dark one or the light one let me know and hopefully we have the same favorites but if not I'm cool with it these pieces and many others will be available in our art show that will be this Friday at 6 p.m central uh well art show art sale and I would love to have some pieces hanging in your home or office so now this piece will ever forever and ever be called the toasted marshmallow typically this much movement bothers me because it can be construed as busy but I think it very much works and for those people that do like the all the color in the middle and then like swipe up and down and do like reflection scapes you know what I mean this would be very that is there a silver equivalent to the gold you used um titanium by color obsession is very similar but it has a little bit more of a sparkle to it than just a metallic sheen but I think she's coming out with another form of this oh yeah I hope you enjoyed the video this evening let me know what it is that you like seeing us do best so that I can do more of those because this is what happens when you guys tell me what you like what you think I go back to my basics and come up with new ways to do them and then they're magic and then it makes my heart happy and then hopefully it makes you guys happy so yeah um I have just resin and color obsession on order I expect those in this coming week they um color obsession just takes a little bit longer to bottle up because she's a one person show but I will have those colors in and hopefully the tints before too long let me know what color it is that you are looking for and I may have like a dupe in another color or another like product range in the meantime yeah this would be amazing for wood grain I'm going to show ronda I think she'll love it so anyways look how fun that is I want to do like a lion fish now because of how this looks you can do a disco green disco grain halo in there yes make sure to be here for the atd art sale friday 6 p.m delis texas united states of america time but till then I will see you guys in the next video be kind of one another because you never know what's going through and always remember I don't know if you guys can hear them but we do the death so you don't have to and I hope you guys have an awesome evening we'll see you guys tomorrow bye


Hey, it's Matt. Long time no see. Have you ever been stressed out to the point where you get anxiatized? Pretty sure that's not a word. And you can't even think because there's so much going on. It's no fun, right? So I'm going to share with you some of the things that helped me get through these anxieties. Just know that everyone gets anxiety every now and then, and everyone handles it differently. Number one. Lightest sense of candle. Candles are something that give off the feeling of a good well-being. If a pleasant scent is burning it can be quite relaxing, especially if it's a scent that the individual enjoys. Two. Journal. Journaling just helps get on all of those things that we have been internally processing. Even verbal processors still process things internally. And journaling, at least for me, has become one of my favorite ways to just get out everything that I'm feeling and move on. Three. Take a bath or shower. Being clean is a good feeling. And in the case of an anxiety attack, good feelings are exactly what you need. I personally like to take a bath. However, it's not my decision to make, so you decide. But regardless, the hot water feels great and the steam actually helps soothe you and relax even more. Four. Driving. Sometimes just getting in the car and going for a drive by yourself really helps us clear our minds.  And even drive to a scenic viewpoint and just sit and be still and think and enjoy the view. If that's your thing. Five. Making a list. If you have anxiety because there's a lot to do, try making a list of everything that you have to do. Then just start working away at the list. It feels good to check things off, especially knowing that you've just completed something and now you're moving on to the next project. If you're stressed out or have a lot of anxiety and these suggestions aren't helping, feel free to leave us a comment in the comment section below and we'll respond. And if you'd like to read the full article, tap the link in the description below. The question of the day is, what's your favorite way to relieve anxiety or stress? Let us know in the comment section below. Until next time, live long and prosper.


Hello everyone welcome to another episode of international relations for the Shankar IAS Academy. This class I would like to divide into two at the end of the 2023 and the beginning of 2024. Today we will discuss the general international relations situation of India in 2023 and maybe at the next capsule we will talk about the possibilities of the new year, what is likely to happen in 2024. So speaking about 2023 we can easily say that it was one of the most difficult year in the history of international relations. First of all 2022 was pretty bad and most people were expecting that 2023 will be a year of reconciliation, kind of revival of international relations, greater understanding about the problems and solutions to many of the issues which came up in 2022. But contrary to this expectation, 2023 continued to be difficult in many ways with the number of issues which remained unresolved after 2023 and fresh issues being added in 2022 and then fresh issues being added in 2023. But if you look at India's own performance during the year in international relations, we have reasons to be fairly satisfied that we were able to deal with many of these difficult situations and came out fairly well in many of the issues that confronted the world. India in a sense emerged as a consensus builder or a consensus maker rather than the champion of a particular aspect. Of course without forgetting the fact that we are a developing nation and we had to stay with the global south as far as international relations are concerned. So, it was possible for us to maintain a posture of dealing with all countries regardless of their commitments even if there were some of them were adversaries among themselves and in some case adversaries against India itself. So, it was not an easy task to do but the intention of India to deal with all countries regardless of their commitments and postures to speak for peace and also to bring about reconciliation. So, most important thing in this respect is the kind of participation we had in the international stage which we chaired the chairmanship of G20, also the chairmanship of the SCO and we attended the BRICS summit. India was invited to G7 summit in Japan where also there was a meeting of the Quad then the voice of the global south summit. All these international fora had several difficulties and problems but India's role in a sense saved these conferences and also gave India a voice which people heard with respect. Looking at bilateral visits we know that the state visit to the US of the Prime Minister in the invitation of President Biden. He was invited to address the US Congress and this underlined the growing strategic strength, this growing strategic relationship of India and the US in spite of some differences over our relations with Ukraine. India not imposing sanctions against Russia, charges by some groups in the United States against the so-called backsliding of democracy in India, that kind of campaign and most recently an allegation that India was somehow involved in the so-called Pannun affair and so despite these difficulties and which were somewhat negative, the relationship grew substantially because of the agreements reached during Prime Minister Modi's visit and one of the most important things which came out of that summit was the emerging technologies and the role in it for India and new technologies like jet engines and various other commitments for transport technology because many of these are yet to be worked out but some of these were very significant and once these are materialized, certainly India will be at an advantage in developing and promoting the kind of relationships that are required in the new situation. Another important bilateral visit was to France to the Bastille Day, the President of France invited him to be the chief guest at the, it is not very common for them to have chief guests on every national day like in India and this was particularly significant because of the international situation and the emerging conflict and rivalry between the United States and China and the general feeling among the countries of the world that we need to have a new global order. So our economic ties with France have been improving also and the technological capacities and our diplomatic dynamism were recognized by the French government. Then came the G-20 presidency for which preparations were made for a whole year and India took many initiatives rather unusual in multilateral conferences with a view to bring about a common understanding on the problems of the world and this was difficult because on the one hand we had the United States and NATO on the other hand we had Russia supported by China and the advantage that we had was we had access and also we had good communications with all the parties concerned. The main thrust of the G-20 was not only economic issues which are normally the subject of G-20 meetings but the most prominent conflicts in the world at that time which is the Russia-Ukraine conflict. So several attempts were made in other fora to bring about some kind of an understanding on these issues which are acceptable to Russia and China on the one side and the west on the other but Prime Minister Modi was very clear right from the beginning that this was not an era of conflict and it could be of peace and we also did not take part in the kind of sanctions that were advocated by the west and therefore we had a so it was not neutral in that sense we had a fairly acceptable position as far as both sides were concerned and that is why even though the ministerial meeting did not produce an agreed declaration the summit was able to do so and that was the first day itself and this was a fully agreed and needed declaration without any preservation by either side and there are some substantial paragraphs or paragraphs on economic costs for the global south and it also seemed to meet the diplomatic needs of G-7 and Russia and even China. So the most outstanding achievement of G-20 was it altered the international agenda to a certain extent and also took on the responsibility of dealing with a political issue in the absence of agreement between the two sides and this adversarial relationship exists between other countries but still India was able to steer clear of those and produce their document although it may not have created a situation on the ground but as far as India is concerned our responsibility as the conference was to be to bring about a particular consensus which is acceptable to all without any reservation and on other things also the economic issues the basic approach we made was to look at the demands and the requests and the problems of the global south. So the there is an effort by all countries in the world in the absence of the old international order which has fast disappearing and the new international order not having been born it was necessary everybody every country is trying to find solutions to the problems and the same time maintaining their own importance in the new global order. So there is a certain amount of support for the existing order but it is not effective and therefore the reason attempt to promote a multi-polar world India itself has been promoting that now even China has started talking about an international order promoting a multi-polar world and therefore some countries even in the western bloc have been hedging strategies by reaching out to China and trying for reconciliation in west Asia etc. So the consequences to multilateralism and pressing issues of climate change etc to be dealt with and though G20 prepared the ground for this which we saw later in other discussions and negotiations. For instance the latest COP28 in Dubai India stood very firm on its grounds for the core interests of developing countries accelerated implementation of the SDGs and even though India and China are present lot in a conflict in Ladakh and also in the eastern sector we were able to have a conversation with China in the context of the international dialogues. So G20 success in developing a consensus and enhance the credibility of India not only with north and south and also to a limited extent between west and east with the exception of China. The engagements in BRICS and Shanghai Cooperation Organization was another balancing act we moved closer to the US to prevent the or those who are supporting an international order like the US but recognizing its deficiencies and the others who are challenging it openly and we have become the upholder of the international order but certainly not the present one but a more reformed democratic and equitable. This message came out very clearly in all these negotiations. India has its own economic interest in this whole new emerging world as we call it and we have to we should be the beneficiary of the shifting supply chains and not based strictly on the older system of west exporting to the east and east importing from the west but also things like making India etc which gave the our greater way voice and role for itself in the developing world. So the voice of the global salts changed the agenda of the G20 for those of the developing world. So BRICS took care of our interests in the west and this is a CEO took care of the East. The dissatisfaction in a west dominated global system emerged with the proposals for de-dollarization etc. It has not made much progress but in all this we maintained a position of peace and also creating an atmosphere for a better in 2040. In this context it is noticeable that when President Biden referred his inability to come to Republic Day in 2024, India turned to the president of France and at very short notice he accepted it. This of course was also in response to Prime Minister Modi's visit to France but also as an indication that when the US failed in some respect to keep its obligation to come to the United States, France had no hesitation in adopting the in accepting the invitation and he'll be our guest and naturally his presence in Delhi will bring greater understanding between India and France particularly in the India Pacific. So India Pacific cooperation will also get a significant enhancement at the time of the French President's visit. Quad was discussed earlier also and India is establishing the has declared that Quad is establishing a security and economic fronts in the in the Pacific region and this will lead to though we are not inclined towards accepting the Quad as a military pact but cooperation between India and these four countries in India Pacific will naturally be beneficial not only to the four of us but also for the general atmosphere in the Pacific region and where of course efforts are being made by China through its BRI initiative to cultivate each one of these countries and they have been making some progress but the important emergence of Quad as a global good as Prime Minister Marendra Modi keeps referring to it has had its impact and this will be further discussed naturally when President of France is in India. India-China relations of course have been frozen. China will not make any concessions on the border they have clarified and we have said that any future relationship with China will depend on the situation on the border and the situation the border is not normalized will be difficult for us to have a normal relationship with China. So it was significant that China does does not attack India to the extent that it was doing in the past and therefore they are also probably maturing but it is still not yet time for to have a serious dialogue with China. This of course a continuing process it need not be considered as a failure of India in 2023. So India and the most recent visit at the end of 2023 of the external affairs minister to Russia was also significant in this context at the absence of Russia India summit in the last two years the external affairs minister not only visited Russia but also he was received by President Putin and the message that came out clearly was India will nurture its relationship with Russia in spite of the problems that the West has and also the relationship between India and Russia will continue to grow in spite of the difficulties that exists. So the Prime Minister Modi has also been invited to Moscow in 2024. So to summarize 2023 in terms of international relations India steps into 2024 with greater confidence and a better atmosphere of relationship with all the countries in the world. Nobody is looking at India as inimical even China does not do that it looks but problems have to be resolved we have problems with the United States we have problems with Russia we have problems with China but in the case of US and Russia we have been able to make a contribution to make sure that things do not get worse. So all these beginnings have been made in 2023 in spite of it being a very difficult year because all the consequences of the four big disasters of early 25th century like 9-11 the economic meltdown the pandemic the Russia-Ukraine war and also the Hamas-Israel war all these aggravated during 2023 but also some ideas for reconciliation it's a travel brought forward and the role India played in all this is being recognized by everyone and the first bit is with that confidence that we are moving into 2024 and we have to feel satisfied that we have made a big contribution to solution of international relations at a time when the old order changes and the new world order has not come into place so we can look at with hope in 2024 and then our next class maybe we can analyze other kind of developments that are likely to take place in 2024 thank you very much


So for our second and final application of modular arithmetic, we're going to turn to cryptography, which is the study of making and breaking secret codes or more formally it's how to communicate in the presence of an adversary without giving up your information. So what we're going to describe here is how to use modular arithmetic to create a barrier. So remember that z29 here is the set of all equivalence classes created by the equivalence relation we get on the integers by setting a equivalent to b if and only if a is congruent to b modulo 29 as integers. So we've seen before that's an equivalence relation and it creates 29 distinct equivalence classes, namely these guys in here. And we've also spent a great deal of time discussing how to do arithmetic on these equivalence classes. That's what modular arithmetic is. We can define our O plus and O dot operations as usual. If I want to add quote unquote add to classes together using the O plus operation, I'm going to form the equivalence class of the regular addition of their representatives and likewise for multiplication. So keep that set in mind and we're going to be using it and keep those operations in mind we're going to be using those. So how would I encrypt a message under this so called affine cipher? Well first of all I'm going to add a little bit to the regular alphabet in English. We all know that the English alphabet consists of 26 letters and we're going to throw in three more one for the period, the question mark and the exclamation point. That'll get us up to a total of 29 characters. So here's how I will encrypt a message. First of all if I want to send a message under this system both myself and the person I'm sending it to we have to decide on two integers, one called m and the other called b and they need to be between 1 and 28 inclusively. And so what I'm going to do here is if I'm sending a message it's going to consist of letters and possibly the exclamation point, question mark and period. I'm going to go through each of the characters one by one and make replacements. I'm going to replace each character with the equivalence class in its corresponding position in z29. That means a is going to be replaced by the class of zero, a is the first letter in the alphabet, zero is the first equivalence class in z29, b will be replaced by the class of one, c replaced by the class of two and so on. All the way up through z that's the 26th letter in the alphabet and the class of 25 is the 26th element going in numerical order of z29. And then I have three more. I'm going to replace the period with class of 26, the question mark with class of 27 and the exclamation point with the class of 28. So I can go through my entire message and turn it into a string of equivalence classes rather than a string of letters. So I'm first of all going to do that. And then what I'm going to do is I'm going to go through each of the equivalence classes that's now in my list or my string and I'm going to make really two computations here. I'm going to take the equivalence class that I've converted from letters and o dot multiply it to m. That was the class of m. That was the integer that I chose at the beginning of this process. So m o dot x, that will give me another equivalence class which I'm then going to add using the o plus operation to the class of b. So the reason this is called an affine ciphers because the word affine in mathematics is often used to denote things having to do with straight lines. And as you can see, this almost looks like your y equals m x plus b point or slope intercept form for an equation of a line in the real numbers. And that's kind of what we're doing here. So I'm taking each character in the message converting it to an equivalence class and performing this modular arithmetic mod 29 operation upon it. That's going to give me a string of new equivalence classes, all of which are either the or somewhere in z 29, either the class of zero, class of one, all the way up to the class of 28. And so that means I can convert the list back to characters kind of going backwards through my replacement process. That list of characters is the encrypted message. So let's see how this works in real life. I'm going to encrypt the word help with an exclamation point on this. This is actually a five character message. And let's suppose I've chosen m equals three b equals 11. So what I need to do now is convert each of these letters into equivalence classes in z 29. Now h is the eighth letter of the alphabet. So that's going to convert into the class of seven in z 29. Likewise, e being the fifth letter in the alphabet will convert to the class of four in z 29. And likewise, we can go down through here and do L and P and the exclamation point, which is the very, very last letter in our extended alphabet. So it gets the class of 28. So what we're going to do next is now that I've converted my letters into five equivalence classes is use my m and my b appear to perform the modular arithmetic operations. I'm going to take my m, which is the class of three, and o dot multiply it to my character here, which is seven, and then o plus that to 11. Order of operations prevails here. So I'm going to do the multiplication first. Let's just continue through this entire line. And before we do the rest. So three, o dot seven, that is, we're just going to regular multiply the insides of those to get the class of 21 and then o plus this with 11. And to get the o plus, we're going to regular add the insides here to get 21 plus 11. That's 32. Now the class of 32, this is in z 29. So the class of 32 can be reduced down to a class that is in z 29. So we have to ask ourselves, what is 32 equivalent to mod 29? And that would be three in this case, 32 and three are equivalent to each other. So this is the class of three. Now let's just quickly run through. I'll quickly run through and do the rest of these. So the class of three, o dot the class of four, o plus 11. Well, the operation in parentheses would give me a 12, o plus 11. And that gives me a class of 23. Now the class of 23 is already in z 29, so it doesn't reduce down to anything further. It's just the class of 23 itself. For the 11 here, I have three, o times 11 plus o plus 11. And this gives me the multiplication process gives me 33, o plus 11. And that is the class of 44. And we have to ask ourselves something similar to what we did up here, what is 44 congruent to mod 29? And the answer to that is congruent to 15 mod 29. So this is the class of 15, because 15 and 44 are equivalent to each other under the congruence mod nine relationship. Likewise, the last two here, if I have three, o dot with 15, o plus 11. I will get 45, o plus 11. And that's equal to the class of 56. And you can check that's the same as the class of 27. And finally, the exclamation point, what does it encrypt to that is three, o dot with 28, o plus with 11. And that is 28 times three is 84 plus 11. That gives me the class of 95. And 95 is the same thing as eight, mod 29. So what do we have here, we have the classes three, 23, 15, 27 and 28. Now what we have to do next, the final step in the encryption process is to convert all of these things back into letters. And you can do that by just going to our chart that we had a couple of slides ago down here in the bottom, or just counting on your fingers in the alphabet. And what we're going to end up with here is the following message. I'll put this in red down at the bottom. The three converts to a D. The 23 is the letter X. The 15 is the letter P. The 27 is a punctuation mark, it's the question mark. And then eight is the letter I. So here is our encrypted form of the word help DXP question mark I. And that's the the ciphertext of this word help with the exclamation point. And that's what I send. Now someone intercepting this in the middle, who might have some malicious purposes for using my information, we'll look at this and just see just five random characters, it doesn't seem to be any information contained in this whatsoever. And that's exactly what should happen in a good crypto system. Now let's talk about decrypting this. So this is going to go to an intended recipient and that person needs to be able to decrypt the message to find out what I was trying to say. How is that going to work? Well, before we do that, we need to take a quick look at the operations of multiplication and addition mod 29. Here's an addition table for Z 29. This is the O plus operation in Z 29. I just want to point out that every number in Z 29, every equivalence class in Z 29 has a corresponding equivalence class such that when you add it to that class, you get zero. Again, for example, if I look at the class of 13, what do I add to 13 to give me zero? Well, apparently 13 adds to 16 to give me zero. So 13 O plus 16, that would be the class of 29, and that is the class of zero. Now likewise in multiplication, here's what it looks like. It's kind of an interesting little swirly pattern here. You can see that if you check through this, take some time to check through it, you can see that every column, no matter what you pick like 13 or 20, there's going to be some row where you have an entry of one, like 13 and nine. You cross reference those as an entry of one, 20 and 16, you have an entry of one. So no matter what number I might have picked, say for example, I pick the number 21 and look at its equivalence class, there's going to be some number out there, some equivalence class out there such that when I o dot that equivalence class with 21, I get the number one. It's almost like multiplying by a fraction in some ways. There are no fractions on the board here. So what number is that for 21? See, there's the column for 21, and there's the one, and that corresponded to 18. So apparently, if I take the class of 21 and o dot it with the class of 18, I get the class of one. So that's important because we need both of those facts for the decryption process, which I'm going to show you now. So to decrypt this message we get, the recipient has received a string of characters. It was DXP, question mark I in our example. So the recipient's going to first of all convert each of those characters back into equivalence classes as we've done before. For example, the D, that's the fourth letter in the alphabet. So the D would convert to the class of three. Okay, so now what he's going to do, what the recipient is going to do is two things. First of all, we're going to find the class C such that B o plus C equals zero. And we just saw that that always works in this extended alphabet. And we're also going to find the class N such that M o dot N is equal to one. Remember M and B were the numbers that the sender and the recipient agreed upon before this all went down here. And we also saw in the multiplication table that no matter what M we might have chosen, there will always be a corresponding N here such that M o dot N equals one. So what we're going to do is find those two equivalence classes C and N. And for each class that I received in the message, for example the class of three that I received that corresponded to the letter D, I'm going to compute two things. The recipient is going to compute two things. First of all, I'm going to take that class and o plus it with C. And then that's going to give me some new class. I'm going to take the result of that calculation and o dot it with N. And it's magically, not really magically, but it looks like magic. This will result in the plain text, the original message that was unencrypted. Now, you might not believe me on this, so let's take a look and see how it worked. So here was the received message that we got in the first example. That was help with an exclamation point and encrypted to this string here. So we're going to first go through and convert all of these into numbers or into the equivalence classes. So the D converts to three, the X was 23, the P was 15, the question mark was 27, and the I was an 8. All right? So we knew the recipient knows that M was equal to 3 and that B was equal to 11. So the recipient can go look this up in the table that the N, the equivalence class that multiplies to M to give me 1, is equal to 10. Now likewise, I can go and find the corresponding class C that adds to B to give me 0, and that will be 18 this time. And again, so here comes the calculation that gives me the decryption. And we'll do this for D and quickly run through the rest of them and show that it actually works. So what we're going to do is take 3, first of all, and O plus it with C. Okay? That's the 18 class. That gives me the class of 21. All right? That's what I was calling Z in the decryption process. And then I'm going to take that and O times it with N. So now I'm going to go and take 21 O times with 10. That of course is going to give me the class of 210. Okay? But now we've got to ask ourselves, what is the class of 210? What is 210 congruent to mod 29? If you go and make a calculation, you will find that this is the class of 7. And what is the class of 7 as a letter? It is the letter H. So as you can see, I am decrypting the D into the original plain text. The D decrypts to H. That was the first letter in the word help. So if you work your way through all the calculations in this process, here's what you end up with. Let's walk through the second line here and see how it works. We receive the character X that converts into the class of 23. And what I'm doing here is I'm taking the class of 23 and adding it using the O plus operation to my C here that was 18. And that gives me the class of 41. Now the class of 41 and Z29 is the same as the class of 12, because 41 and 12 are congruent to each other mod 29. Getting that 12 there, I now take it, the 12, and times it, multiply it using the O times operation to 10. That is the same as the class of 12 times 10, which is the class of 120. And the class of 120 is the same as the class of 4, because 120 and 4 are congruent to each other mod 29. And we continue this out for the P, for the question mark, and for the letter I. Now what I want to just point your attention to to end things off here is look at the classes that we received, 7, 4, 11, 15, 28. What are those as letters? Well the class of 7, of course we said is the letter H. The class of 4, let's see, A, B, C, D, E. The class of 11 is L. The class of 15 is P. And the class of 28 is the exclamation point. So the recipient here has received a string of characters. It just looks like noise. It has no information seemingly embedded within it at all. But through the mathematical process of using these modular arithmetic operations, the receiver can tell what the original message actually was. So that's an affine cipher. Pretty interesting. There's a lot of variations on it that are even more interesting. It's a nice application of how modular arithmetic can be used in sort of real-life purposes. But thanks for watching.

Hemophagocytic syndrome, HPS, is a rare but serious condition that can be caused by a variety of factors including viruses, autoimmune diseases, and certain types of cancer. It is characterized by massive infiltration of bone marrow by activated macrophages, which leads to pancytopenia and thrombotic microangiopathy, TMA. This condition can be complicated further when it occurs alongside another condition known as thrombotic microangiopathy, TMA. This review discusses a case study of a patient who was diagnosed with both HPS and TMA and how they were treated successfully with intravenous immunoglobulin, IVIG, and plasma Pharisees. This article was authored by Hader Ali Esmaili, Almira Mostafidi, Bahari Maramouz, and others.


Hello everyone welcome back to my channel it is Drew here from Lone Fox and I hope you're all having an amazing day so far I'm actually going to keep things very chill today. I'm doing a little bit more of a vlog Just more simplistic casual video as opposed to one of my more very like in-depth DIY projects slash room makeovers That are filmed on multiple cameras and edited for hours This one's gonna be a little bit more on the simple side and definitely let me know your eyes just thoughts on this I was actually going to not even film this as a video and then I was like You know what like I'm just gonna vlog it keep it super casual and simple and I'm going to be doing a bathroom update slash mini makeover slash Reorganization so it's just gonna be like me taking my bathroom from what it is in its current state Which is really not the best and just making it nice and clean and organized with a lot more storage and look a lot More pretty as well I feel like I said that sentence very poorly But you guys get the gist and I'm also super excited because today's video is in partnership with care of which is a Brand that I've actually been spending my own money on for probably the past two years. I remember two years ago I clearly remember this I was in bed There's a youtuber by the name of Claudia Saluski She posted care of in her video and I was like I have to get this so I ordered it I subscribed and I've been getting it month after month after month and I absolutely love their service So when they emailed out to actually like work with me on a video I literally was like you guys don't even need to send products because I already have it But if you're not already make sure to subscribe to my channel I post brand new DIY and home decor content every single week and once you click that little subscribe button You can also click the bell icon right next to it and turn on my notifications for the channel Just so you're notified every time I upload a brand new video and don't forget You can also follow me for more behind the scenes type of stuff on a lone fox home on Instagram And last little self promo if you guys have not already make sure to check out lone fox comm it is launching it soon I think it's gonna be launching in about under a month And I'm gonna be giving you guys a lot more teasers as to what it's going to be over the course of the month So definitely head over to lone fox comm into your email address to be one of the first people to get access to the website Which I am so excited for it's literally been in the works for like six months So definitely into your email address and you are good to go So I think we should just get in today's video I'm going to head over to target right now because there is actually some things I want to get for my bathroom So my main thing that I want to get for my bathroom is one of these I Don't know what these are called toilet covers, but I don't know if I'm with the metal one or This wood one the wood one is a hundred and nine dollars And I wish I had some more of that return on my last video because I can literally punch out this gospel Oh and put the return here, which they could make it look so much better So I think I'm gonna go with this one and I don't know if I want this color Which is oil wrapped bronze. We love oil wrapped or satin nickel Okay, so I opted for the bronze because my bathroom wall is gray So I thought the silver would just blend in too much And I love this little like crosshatch detail here or like axe detail on the edges And I think I wanted to show a bit more so I got the bronze one little organizers and another one of these I have the larger one. So I got the smaller one just to store other stuff in because I really like the I really like these And this is only three ninety nine I'm also gonna get this trash can because my current trash can is literally from like six years ago Like I've had it forever. It's like dented and disgusting and it just doesn't match the vibe So I'm gonna grab this really pretty woven one. Oh my gosh. These jars are so cute, too Wow Hey, so I ended up finding this little pitcher here on a clearance for 998 and then I'm just gonna grab this little stem as well and cut it down to put in here To add to the shelf and then it also decided I'm gonna go with some navy accents So I got this new bath mat because I've just been using this Ikea rug I used in a DIY a while back and it's kind of getting gross like it doesn't definitely doesn't perform Well with water. So I got this navy bath mat and a couple of towels with stripes So I think that is everything I need. Alright, so I am back home now from Target just got home But I want to share with you guys my current bathroom state Like I am just not even gonna sugarcoat any of this at all I just want to show you guys what my bathroom looks like and why I just wanted to go in and reorganize and Just like make it look a little bit nicer in the middle of my room kind of and it's also Over here. So in here is the bathtub and the toilet and as you can see there's literally absolutely zero storage So for me to hang towels, I typically have to use those hooks right there, which you can kind of see through the door Crack it's also fully covered by the door, which is kind of annoying because if anything's on the floor Then I can't open the door to get to the hooks. So that's just kind of a little bit frustrating So I typically keep the towel there because the other day I went to bathroom body works and I bought these like really nice Products and I have nowhere to put them They've been sitting here for like a week now this room here as you can see like I just have an overflow of products That I use and not a ton of storage So I'm going to maximize my storage space and really try to give myself like a nice clean bathroom area that also looks nice But functions really well, right? So here kind of comes the under the sink area that I never want to show anybody because it is like Okay, it's not the worst for sure But it is not organized whatsoever literally everything is just thrown into this basket and everything is thrown into this basket There's no rhyme or reason I have a medicine like container right here that I need to make sure like stuff isn't expired or whatever Skincare items and like haircare and random stuff like that and then this one also has that this one actually has a lot more like tanning products in here I'm like Santa Pay Tanner and stuff. So those I'm going to definitely keep but kind of reorganize and see what I want to take away And what I want to donate. Okay, so my solution to the under the cabinet area are these wooden crates Now I'm going to give you a quick rundown of why I'm obsessed with these These are 1299 at Joanne's fabrics yesterday.

Look how pretty these are now going to be displayed on my actual Countertop up here. So much more easy access every single morning. Let's get you decorating the countertops I also want to give you guys an update on the marble contact paper counter that I did because It honestly is not holding up as great as the first one that I did So this is the second marble countertop I've done in my first apartment I used um the eight different contact paper and that one actually held up extremely well It never even peeled up even the slightest But the contact paper I used for this countertop actually is kind of peeling up on the edges So I think I'm going to in a later time remove this contact paper and switch back to the one that I originally used because It actually worked quite a bit better This one is kind of peeling up a bit But I just want to let you guys know because if you can see any of the peeling up on the edges That is why featured this shelf in my last uh bathroom video or the only Bathroom video that I've done on this channel, but I wanted to share it with you guys again So this is not really something I'm going to incorporate in this video or installed because it's already been installed But these are super amazing for skincare or bathroom storage when you don't want a large shelf on the wall This is essentially a picture led shelf so you can get these at target That's where I got mine probably $15 and the picture led shelves work really great because they're super shallow But they have a lip on the edge So all you can put all of your skincare or whatever you want to put on here I'm going to take a moment to kind of reorganize this and show you what it looks like in just a second I added all of my current favorite products up here And I just love the way it looks and you can really put a ton Like you can even do like a double layer of skincare as you can see here This is one of my favorite serums right now the summer fridays I love everything that they do And the way products are my hair care products some other skincare products I've been loving this serum is amazing and also my favorite texture spray in the entire world So these are my go-to grab products and I love how they're just so easily accessible You know like right here I can just like grab them and use them and put them away Which honestly, I'm scared to show you guys because I have never organized either Of my drawers. I've done like slight organization in both But really I just kind of throw everything in there And I'm going to organize these a little bit more because I want them to look a little nicer than they do at the moment And to do that, I picked up these really great acrylic organizing boxes at Target Uh, I got the size one I got this side I guess I got two of these actually a little miniature square and then these two actually came in a pack Oh, I think that there's different sizes in there. These are like stackable or something I think so I will see how these all work Oh my gosh, I am so obsessed with the outcome of the bathroom This is literally the smallest space ever So if you guys can tell like literally the only floor space in this entire bathroom is a rug Like a front of the bathroom like a bath mat. It's not big at all So I really love what I was able to achieve here I think this really made the space just look a lot nicer Like I think this just really brought it together. I love the color I chose too. It's not even like brass I swear it's more black. It looks very farmhouse, which I love and I just styled it with a couple. It's a core element And yeah, I'm just very very pleased with the bathroom here I think it turned out super pretty and I love the pops of navy A little miniature bathroom vlog update reorganization clean with me. Just make things pretty, you know I know Hermione Chantel does these on her channel and I really love them She calls him di wire ease which I think is so cute And I kind of wanted to go off that kind of style and just do something a little bit more Not as in depth and crazy as a typical video because those videos take me quite a while to plan I just wanted to do something a little bit more simple and fun today And I wasn't even going to film this originally and I was like, you know what? Let's film it very casually and just have fun with it So I hope you guys enjoyed this video Give it a thumbs up if you did and also I want to thank care of for sponsoring today's video A brand that I actually really really do use and trust and absolutely love You can check them out with the link in the description box below And you can also get a lovely little discount with the code on the screen, but I think that's really all Thank you guys so so much.

Um, I'll catch you guys all in my next video Have an amazing rest of your day and I'll see you later. Bye guys


So everyone, it's Friday and I woke up to one of the most beautiful places I've ever seen in my life. Last day in Jamaica, can't wait to come back. The water was so clear, so blue, I just found out that you can go swimming with dolphins on the resort and we have two hours until our next flight until we have to get on a bus and then drive like nearly two hours to the airport and I think I might just take one last dive before we head back to New York City. Hey, good morning everyone. Today is Wednesday. We're about to go work out. We're trying to start a new routine where we wake up in the morning and we work out or we try to work out before noon and to add to that routine, I also want to start reading more in the morning as well. Before I read, I just get these really creative ideas and inspiration and I want to start doing that in the morning to start out my day. Got a new lens, which is why the field of view is so wide and it's perfect for vlogging. I have the whole gym to myself. This rarely happens, especially since it's the morning time and it seems like that's when it's the most crowded between like eight to like nine a.m. was super packed and it was really packed when we walked in, but no one's here except people who are playing basketball so I love an empty gym. My office is really coming together and there's just so much potential and by coming together I mean like it's way less cluttered and I can actually show you all without feeling embarrassed about it. So I want to talk more about like some of my fashion, inspiration, some of my favorite brands. I know you all have been asking me that. I do it a lot in my other videos or my other platforms specifically, but today I'm wearing a Uniqlo 3D waffle knit sweater. I got on this Chrome Hearts necklace. I forget the name of it, but I love this necklace. It's so simple and timeless. It's just perfect. Then I'm rocking these beams parachute pants. Not a perfect wardrobe would be this idea of, and I didn't come up with this idea. My friend Andre, shout out to Andre, this idea of having a 30 piece wardrobe that's actually not an easy thing to do because each item in your wardrobe is supposed to be like around $130 or like $150 and more and it doesn't have to be like $150 specifically, but the idea is, I know I kind of contradicted what I just said, but what I'm trying to say is each item is high quality capsule item that you could wear for like 10, 20 years. The pants I'm wearing right now, they're pretty expensive. Not even going to lie, but this Uniqlo waffle knit, 3D waffle knit sweater was like 30% of that price point of $150. Not even just like 30 bucks. I kind of like to have like a mixture of the two, like my more timeless capsule pieces that cost more money, but also I could always resell them for the same price if not more with some of the basic essentials that are higher quality, but I don't like to go over like $40. All right, so I actually want to rearrange my office. I want to move some things around. I think what I want to do is I want to take the desk set up and either move it in front of this window, move it over to this wall, I feel like I should put it in front of the window. Whatever I decide doesn't have to be permanent. So I actually felt pretty inspired. I just posted an Instagram reel of my new setup and doing some coding. I've been doing cozy coding type of vibes Instagram reels for like seven months, which has really grown my Instagram like significantly. It's fun combining like cinematics with doing things that actually motivate and inspire and not only the people who are watching it before myself. Like one thing I try to do when I feel myself programming is sometimes I like make sure that, hey, you've got to commit some code in order to post this is like some sort of accountability. And now I'm actually working on a vlog. I've been trying to continue to stay consistent on Instagram reels. It is hard to be consistent on all three. So TikTok's been on the back burner. I really have no issue with that because creating YouTube videos is my favorite thing to do. And I'm just really grateful that you all have really enjoyed these vlogs and grateful to live in New York City now. More interesting place to vlog. Today I have a few meetings, but right now I'm just working on making sure our participants for our next hackathon are all set up. So I'm just basically going through what it would be like to build with flex starting from scratch. That way my documentation doesn't have any gaps and it's easy to follow. One really important part of this new job is constantly thinking about how can we make it as seamless as possible for our customers to use our APIs and our SDKs and making sure they have the best developer experience. All right. So as you can see, the wall hasn't changed at all. That's because in order to build these shelves, it's a two-man job, two-person job, me and Lee. So hopefully we can do that today. My stomach has been going crazy this morning. Good for today. Capital bandana. It's been like one of my favorite accessories. Nova hoodie that's actually too small and probably my favorite pants ever. These Lululemon surge joggers that I purchased like five years ago. I feel like the office looks kind of boring. When we add the following shelves, I'll definitely add to the aesthetic and make the office look a little bit more interesting. Then we have to get a carpet in here and add some pictures along this wall. I need to get some sort of like lounge, like couch. I want to get that to go couch, that like really popular one that's like a vintage dupe of like this 1960s couch that this French furniture design company created, but they're all like back-ordered or just way too expensive. So this is the Govee floor lamp and has RGB colors and I can control it with my smartphone. I'm just filming a TikTok video of like this home office setup building series and this is just part one, but nonetheless, I'm really excited about this light.


Meredith in front on the right Aaron what told you John Carlos Stanton was ready to get back in there and ultimately why him over and Karnas you He was one of them that told me Just felt good about his progress yesterday You know it felt like it was the first day where he made some pretty good progress You know clearly not a hundred percent running don't feel like hitting will be an issue for him And you know just have to kind of govern govern himself out on the bases, but you know He's been kind of wanting in there the last few days and held off held off and then He actually did come by my office last night and we both kind of said let's go and So excited to have him back in there it last row on the right Oh Coach right right here Good afternoon. Could you could you talk about what you told the team today about their discipline with the strike zone? And how important that will be against Verlander tonight? What did you tell the team about that and how important is that I haven't told them anything today about that? that's always You know, I think those of you that are around us know that It's something that we talk at nauseam about you know about controlling the strike zone and something that those guys are very good at and Will be important for us moving forward today and and on in this series and If we're gonna move on we've got to be able to do that at a very high level Especially against a pitching staff like the Astros first row here on the left Andy Defensive infield that you're putting out there in this series is obviously really good and really talented Mm-hmm that you had the chance to maybe sleep on it Do you have any explanation or thoughts of why they had a rough night last night? Maybe there is no answer Yeah, no, I mean I have a ton of confidence in that group In the defense certainly we're running out there again today tonight It's it's been one of the strengths Certainly in the postseason for us and we had a bad night last night and those things, you know, unfortunately happened sometimes and But you know have all the confidence Moving forward and those guys that they're gonna continue to play at a high level You worry that the way that game kind of spiraled some guys just Got sloppier than usual. It had to do with the situation I don't know. I mean that's when you make mistakes. I mean, that's that's how it looks But you know as far as moving forward Confident that these guys will flush it and go out and in play like they're capable of tonight Far right Kenny and after the game last night, you were pretty honest about how disappointed you are in your team You remember being more upset or surprised at your team's performance since you took over this job I don't know if I Mean, you know, it's obviously a lot on the line and when we don't play our best I think everyone gets frustrated that because we expect a lot of ourselves. I know our guys expect a lot out of themselves But one thing I know about them when we have throughout the year Done things at a very high level or had a clunker or or not played well I Feel like this team is as much as any that I've been around do a very good job of Letting yesterday roll off and and being hyper focused on the day and confident that'll be the case today They stay there on the left. I'm sorry the right Aaron Chris Could you walk us through the conversation on the mound with CC and Stevie last night and anything you may have talked with him about today? Yeah, well we we we sense for a couple pitches that maybe he was You know, he had hurt himself So I actually called Stevie over we saw him throw one more pitch and then we kind of ran out there and CC just you know Obviously talked about his shoulder and then said but I want to let me throw one see how it is And he threw one and right away. You knew that was it and he just he and Stevie walked off So there wasn't a lot of conversation other than you know, CC's not very dramatic at all about it It's just threw it and knew that was it and Yeah, that was it As far as what yeah, you know just kind of you know, I think You know, he knows my my affection for him He knows his team his affection for his teammates and how we all feel about them and you know, I think there was You know and he and I even kind of laughed about a little bit like Kind of in a weird way kind of a perfect way to go out, you know, he's been the ultimate teammate competitor gamer Left everything on the field left everything he had on the mound and you know, you know One thing is I talked about her to our guys every now and then about is you know give us everything he got and CC embodied that and he left it all out there last night Down here the front Barry A boonie just following up on that from your perspective as a manager I think it's always probably difficult to tell people that they're coming off a roster or they're being sent down How emotionally taxing was that for you to have to talk to CC and basically Realizing that this is the end of his career Emotional But but a lot of happiness and joy in it too, you know, you know, I had talked to him in the food room last night and hugged him and you know had a lot of Really good comments back and forth with him and you know, he knows he knows what he means to me and to us So I think it was you know Some sadness, but but but also very happy happy time and You know, CC will be fine Alright John as a pitcher CC's obviously used to being around the guys on days He's not contributing on the field in some ways. What role do you think he has to play for you guys in these next three games? If you're gonna advance, yeah, he'll be the same. He'll be this presence on the bench presence in the clubhouse One of the things about having him in the bullpen is I've missed having him on the bench You know looking over there and and hearing him or hearing his laugh or you know here in his chatter You know, I'll pass by him every now and then in a game in the middle of a game kind of for some levity for myself and just Say something that I noticed Happen in the game or in the stadium so In that way, it'll be nice to have him back on the bench tonight and and look over and and be able to see him Stay on the right over there, Joe Aaron you've been around the game in some form of fashion since you were a boy I wonder have you ever come across anyone who was a starting pitcher who was looked at as a leader in his clubhouse? Like him young old hitter pitcher all backgrounds, etc It's I don't know at the level that CC is, you know, we're talking about a Hall of Famer I Mean We've been going through this all year and all the great things being said about CC I think everyone understands how authentic it is and genuine. He's he's the best. I mean he is He's he's how you would draw draw it up from a teammate standpoint from a competitor standpoint You know one of the greatest You know one of the greatest things CC has and I think is one of the Greatest things on a human being is he's kind of dripping with humility, you know, that's that's real That's who he is, you know, a lot of people can come across that way CC is that and it's why I think he's Beloved in there, but across the sport and really with with anyone he comes in contact with but as far as a Ballplayer a competitor and a teammate It's hard to draw it up any better than CC, Sebastian In the back Tyler of the right Aaron from a team and a series perspective at when you're down 3-1 and it's going to take a big comeback Do you ever draw off of your own? Experiences as a player in the postseason or your father's or or anything that you've seen in the game to know that it is possible At the time like this probably have you In fact, Sweeney just reminded me The Brewers were the Brewers were playing my dad's team in 82 they were down 2-0 and they came back in 1 3 2 The Red Sox were up or the Angels my dad's team were up 3-1 on the Red Sox in 86 and the Red Sox came back I remember that well. I remember crying on my couch Watching game 7 in our house You know, I know that I think the Cubs came back from 3-1 against the Indians Not just our sport, but all kinds of sports are littered with Stories of comeback, so we know we're certainly capable of that We got a tough task tonight against a great team and a great pitcher and we'll look forward and going out and and hopefully Grabbing one and getting on a plane Second row of the right Aaron is Severino an option out of the bullpen tonight. We'll see we'll see Had some very little conversation on that and I haven't talked to Sevilla and I know the pitchers are out there throwing So I wouldn't necessarily probably not but We got a few hours before the game to kind of talk through things, but I don't anticipate them Okay, take one or two more Dave here on the left Aaron in Stanton's absence while he was hurt It seems like in a number of these games you guys were you know one pitch or one hit away from kind of breaking things open Yeah, what kind of advantage is that now with incanesce on slumping as he was to be able to insert him And hopefully maybe get it get a spark out of it I mean that's a lot of times what the postseason is the playoffs is you know, you got to take advantage of opportunities The last few days You know, we haven't been able to do that and it's it's been the difference in us, you know when in losing games So hopefully we create more opportunities. That's Ultimately the goal is to create those opportunities now we got a breakthrough and you know That's that's hard to do especially when you're facing good pitching and and getting a hit is a Failing proposition, but the more opportunities we can create. Hopefully we can break through with a couple and get on that plane Anything else? Thanks Aaron
