Hi, this is Jack Lipton, and this is Critical Materials Corner, and today I'm very pleased to have as my guest and co-host Byron King, and we're going to start off today by talking about Byron's favorite topic, I think, and certainly one of which she has extensive expertise. Byron, I'm going to blindside you today. Tell me, where is the price of gold going? Everybody listening is fascinated by this topic. Where is the price of gold going, and why? Well, good day, Jack, and you certainly don't blindside me when you ask me about the price of gold. It's truly the first thing I look at when I wake up. I grab my little iPhone, and I check the price of gold even before I roll out of bed, and then I spend the rest of the day taking it from there. Where is the price of gold going in the relatively near future it's going up? A couple of weeks ago, a week and a half ago, I wrote an article in investor intel about, I called it, Russia deploys a new weapon, the gold weapon. Think what you want about Ukraine. Think what you want about Russia, about Putin, whatever. By putting a relative floor, a bumpy floor under the price of gold, 5,000 rubles per gram, although it is negotiable, says the Russians. But by putting something of a floor under that price of gold with rubles, which are now related to natural gas, and soon with Russian oil and Russian ag and Russian minerals and Russian everything else, by putting that floor under there, they've really de-risked, or they've risked up, let's say, the downside of traders who want to take gold down. They've put gold, right about now, gold's about $63 per gram if you translate to rubles, which is right around, like where the price is, $1,800 something an ounce, $1,900. It's right in there. There is a floor underneath the price of gold. The traders, the paper traders, not the real gold traders, the paper traders, can't go down below that floor, or they get arbitraged. They risk going underwater and staying there and get drowned. So the price of gold has a pretty decent floor under it right now. I'm happy with that. It protects the producers too, because if you're producing gold at $1,000, $1,200 an ounce in terms of your cost all in, you've got a nice 50% or so profit margin on top of you. So that's the first part. The second part of that question is, gold is an inflation hedge, has been traditionally, and we have inflation out there as everybody knows who's watching or listening to this broadcast.  Inflation is structural, it's built into the economy. If nothing else, the price of gold is going to be drifting up if not bouncing up on event-driven news. The United States went off the gold standard, and I believe 1971 or two, I can't remember. Officially, the world is certainly not on a gold standard. But it sounds to me like what you're saying is that we're drifting to a commodity standard to underpin our money. Absolutely, yeah. Actually, I do remember, it was August 15, 1971. I was in 11th grade and I was in pre-season football, and you would think when you're in pre-season football, getting ready for high school football, that you would be thinking about football. I walked in the next morning and we go to the team meeting and our coach is up there and said, he said, Nixon closed the gold window last night and we're looking at him like, what are you talking about? We're talking about football and stuff. Well, that's a whole another story. But we've been on this fiat dollar standard ever since, the full faith and credit of the United States government as opposed to gold. You can argue a lot that the technicalities of the gold standard and what is it goes back to 1914 and goes back to the Napoleonic War. There's a lot of history there. But there was something that always kept the monetary base under control. Since 1971, it's only been the full faith and credit of the government and the world's belief that the US government won't somehow pull the rug out from under the whole world and just let the whole thing crash. My view on that, Jack, and this is that again gets back to the Ukraine-Russia situation by putting these immense sanctions on Russia and taking their sovereign reserves by the hundreds of billions of dollars and even things like going around grabbing the oligarch's money. You don't have to like oligarchs. I don't like oligarchs. I don't like the American oligarchs. I don't know any Russian oligarchs. I've never met a Russian oligarch. I've never been on a yacht or anything else in my whole life. But I know some American oligarchs. I mean, I met a few along the way. They took all that money. And when you did that, you crashed the full faith and credit of the United States. Seven billion other people in the world who have dollars are saying to themselves, whoa, I mean, okay, the US is really mad about Russia and Putin and Ukraine. Okay, I get that. But when you take all their money without due process, we don't like you, we're taking your money. You've just really undermined the credibility of the dollar. So that gets to that other point you made that, are we moving to another standard? Yeah, I mean, not overnight, not in the next five minutes or the next five days or maybe the next five months, but we are moving to something else. Are you not saying that arguably Russia is now on the gold standard? It's, you know, it is one of those things that it's a work in progress. It is a development in progress. A lot of people say, oh, Russia, they're just a gas station with nuclear weapons, to which I say, there's nothing wrong with gas stations. And there sure isn't anything wrong with nuclear weapons. Okay. I mean, I'm an old Navy guy. I was a nuclear weapons officer. I know a few things about nuclear weapons. You don't want to screw around with a country that has nuclear weapons, and nobody will.    But they produced a lot of electricity, a lot of steel. They have an aerospace industry. They, you know, they're a technically sophisticated country. They've graduated more PhDs in physics than we do, that's for sure. And so, and they have 6,000 nuclear weapons, and they have missiles and submarines and bombers and anything else. Nope, you know, this is not going to be one of those situations where you were in the long term, you push them around. Whatever happens between Russia and the rest of the world is going to be a negotiated settlement. And it's really just a question of, you know, who's going to come out on the good side of the negotiation, because nobody's going to invade Russia, if they don't want to get note. I know that Russia, which in my opinion is now on a gold and other commodity standard, is doing very well in negotiating with its peers, which are Saudi Arabia, which is effectively Saudi Arabia's the only country I've ever been to that actually has gold in circulation. They like gold in Saudi Arabia. The Chinese love gold. In China, gold is a symbol of luck. The more gold you have, the luckier you are. And they like gold. All gold in China is mined by the People's Liberation Army, not by private contractors. That tells you something about, well, about Chinese corruption and Chinese state policy. But the point I'm making is, when I have those three countries together, I get perhaps the world's largest producers of oil and the world's largest consumers of oil. And they seem to be in a gold block. What do you think? I tend to agree with you.  For as much as Russia and has had its issues with Saudi with the religious side, and there are many and they are deep. The Russians and the Saudis are working. They're playing nicely in the same sandbox, so to speak. The Chinese are more than happy to, more than happy to take the Russian natural gas, the Russian petroleum, the Russian minerals, Russian lumber, Russian agriculture, you know, China needs everything. And China and Saudi are more than happy to work together. Everybody who's watching this has probably heard the stories of the looming Petro Yuan, where China, Russia, or China, Saudi are going to be trading oil for Yuan. And so, yeah, you've got two of the three world's largest oil producers, the US being the other of the three. But we use everything we pull out of the ground, and then we still import a whole lot. So you've got Russia, Saudi, which is a whole bunch of oil, and then China, which is the largest consumer, but it's the world's largest manufacturing power. I mean, it's the world's largest CO2 emitter. China emits more CO2 than the whole rest of the world put together. I mean, China produces a billion, with a B, tons of steel every year, which is 14 times more than the United States. And here's one. Nobody knows this. China uses more steel every year in just its shipbuilding industry, you know, Navy ships, cargo ships, fishing boats. More steel every year in shipbuilding than the United States produces steel, period. You know, you could take every pound of steel that the United States produces every year, and it wouldn't build all the ships in China in one year. I always tell people that China produces enough steel each day to replace the United States Navy afloat. So please think about that. And I'm sure, I'm sure you think more than I do. Well, so we're saying, I also noted that the Chinese are paying the Russians for things, including maybe oil in RMB, their currency. And that allows the Russians to buy everything they need in the way of furniture, toilet paper, whatever, what have you in from China. So don't we buy everything we need from China?  The Chinese could sanction us. They're actually quite angry at us. They think we're putting them down as a secondary, as some kind of lower order of human. That's their opinion in China is that we look down upon them. That's what they think is racism. And it's interesting, noting the United States pays attention to that. And we do, we do discriminate against Asian Americans because they're too smart. So we make sure they can't take our places. Okay, the Chinese are very aware of this. The point is, they can do without us, maybe we cannot do without them. That is the real problem for us. You would think the wake up call, you know, if nothing else, the wake up call should have come two years ago when the COVID pandemic broke out. And at least a few people in the United States woke up and said, gee, where do we get most of our medical supplies from? Where do we get our pharmaceuticals? Who makes the pharmaceuticals or who makes the things that you use to make the pharmaceuticals? If you go far enough back up the supply chain, it's all, it's China. I mean, these little pill things that you get at your pharmacy where they put the pills in, where do these things come from? You think there's a factory in the United States that makes, no, this stuff comes from China. And I mean, the plastic that's in here comes from China, made out of Saudi Arabian oil, perhaps. But I mean, the antibiotics, what is it, 98% of US antibiotics are imported.  Or if you go to the hospital and maybe inject you with all the, where does that stuff come from? I have one with China mostly, you know, I mean, there's a few other places, but I mean, the bulk of it came from China. And so you would think that just on a national security level, people would have said, oh, yeah, we need to do that. And Trump started to do that.  Two days ago, the president of Rivian, a startup electric truck maker, which has an order book already of like 100,000 vehicles, including 80,000 from Amazon for vans, said he could not meet any of his target dates because he can't get batteries. And he said, everyone is talking about producing lithium, nobody's talking about what you do with the lithium out of the brain or the mind. And he said America is woefully short of processing capacity. And I know that the Chinese today have around 60% of the global processing capacity for lithium, and they have enough lithium either in their country or bought and controlled overseas to take all of their target production of EVs between now and 2030 already in place. We don't have it. And we're prohibiting it from coming into existence through over regulation. And you would think somebody in Washington would understand that you cannot keep slapping yourself in the face and wonder where the pain is coming from. You would think somebody in Washington would understand, but the scary thing is that maybe somebody in Washington really does understand and that it's intentional and they just don't care. They love watching the USD industrialized because it meets some other objective that they have. And I think that's insanity on their part in terms of what the country is and where the country was coming from. But I think there are people if they do understand it, they just don't care. And it's not just lithium, Jackie. We've had this discussion. It's everything. It's nickel. It's lead. I mean, it's the indium and the tin solder that they put the little circuit boards together with. It's the circuit boards themselves. It's the little capacitors and diodes that go on the circuit boards. Do we make that stuff in the U.S.? No, you don't.   Anyway, thank you, Barry. We could go out all day long. I'm sure about this, and we will sooner or later. Thank you, Jack. And thank you, everybody out there who's watching and forward this email or forward this video to your friends and your colleagues and get us some exposure.  Thanks. And don't have an accident while you're on your way to your gold broker to buy some physical metal. Thank you.


Thanks for checking out this movie review video. This is for the 1992 film maniac cop 3 badge of silence And yes, I already have on my channel reviews for maniac cop and maniac cop 2 so you can check those out Also, those are all available on shutter streaming service when I'm doing this review So you can check it out there if you want to watch it also spoilers because this is an old movie So and I got to dig into it. So let's get into the details Directed once again by William Lustig this is one of these super rare occasions where there are three films in this trilogy obviously being a trilogy and Larry Cohen was the writer for all of them and William Lustig was the director for all of them Which is so rare, but is so cool, and I think that's what makes it so that in my opinion All the films are actually at least decent I like the first one. I like the second one I think a little bit more than the first one and I do like this one to a degree But it is my least favorite Which I think the consensus has been in the public that the third one is the least favorite of everyone's But I don't I still don't think it's bad like I watch it, and I'm not like that's a waste of time It's decent, but we'll get more into that So William Lustig great, and that's a thing like the directing is really good with all the films This one included the writing the script wise with Cohen writing pretty solid on this one There's some really good ideas there And this is a really good movie to kind of deep dive into because he was trying to he had some metaphors in there And he had some kind of subtext to it and themes in it that I'll talk about which are really cool But I think overall the writing of it and the execution it seems too long It's like an hour and 20 minutes basically and it seems longer than that which is bad There's a lot of stuff in it That's pretty uneven when you keep going between what Cordell is up to after he's resurrected with voodoo Versus what the police officers are going to with Sullivan being shot and being in the coma It feels like they're focusing way too heavy on the whole coma thing I know it is important because they're trying to tie the two together But it feels very very uneven and there's way too much time where you're just not getting enough Cordell And the other thing is when you are getting Cordell for the most part the kills aren't good And that's one of the things like if you're gonna do a second sequel You're gonna need to have better kills or at least as good a kills as you had in the other films And you're probably gonna need to have more gore and that's the other thing is there isn't more gore The kills are not better the kills are actually worse than the other two films They're actually very blah in my opinion, but there is some good stuff in this film Which I'm gonna go on to talk about obviously Robert Zadar is back as Matt Cordell aka maniac cop Robert Dobby is back as McKinney, and you know, he's best known for being in the goonies But he's been like die hard and predator to stuff like that. So good actor I was really cool to see Jackie Earl Haley in this as the the villain Frank Scumbag Frank he did a great job with that role. He looked like he was pretty much enjoying it He did a very some very nice work and then also Ted Raimi was very briefly in it as like a newscaster Which you know, I just like seeing Ted Raimi here and there. He's a cool guy This originally got an NC 17 rating and then they lost that on appeal Which if I'm seeing the original version, I don't understand why it's NC 17. It's not that Gory or violent. I mean there is good violence to it But it's more violence of like real-life violence violence like police versus bad guys type violence So I don't know that that just seemed weird to me It came out to very pretty negative reviews and some actually some called it borderline on watchable Which I don't agree with that at all. I guess maybe people are kind of viewing it differently back then I guess because it is you know, it is a Departure from the quality of the first and second one overall, but I don't know. I wouldn't say it's borderline on watchable I don't understand that It got a this one also got a release on blu-ray through blue underground Which if you saw my review for the second film that did as well The scrolling text in the beginning of this And giving like a bit of a backstory is Good, that's kind of a better way of giving that bit of backstory like they did in the second one With just like actually showing the end portion of the of the first film I I don't like that when they just kind of recap it by actually showing you stuff that was in the first film So the the text kind of scrolling up and telling you what happened as a backstory was much quicker And I kind of preferred that But then they recapped some of the actual like good violence from the second film And I thought that was fine because like those are the exciting cool scenes and actually Those are kind of like the best violence type scenes in this film involving Cordell that is so I do like the touch of showing How Cordell was resurrected because you get that at the very end of the second film Whereas hand pops through the casket and grabs the badge on it So I like that they kind of tell you how that happened now It's voodoo, which you know during this time there was a lot of voodoo Incorporated into you know resurrection of bodies and stuff like that in the 80s and 90s So this is obviously early 90s. So, you know, this was a thing So they were doing that But I think there's something else at play here, which I'll talk about later with why they're using voodoo not not specifically voodoo But basically a religion to resurrect Cordell so I'll talk about that in a bit But you know this just kind of reminds me of the voodoo that was used in weekend at Bernie's too Which if you haven't seen weekend at Bernie's too, and you've seen the first one just check it out Like it's not good, but it's like laughably fun. I'll just say that There's something about that baton swinging like the sound of it and the look of it That's just awesome. So I love how when Cordell comes back like it They're back to the baton swinging which they had in the second one It's just cool and obviously it's you know the knife baton, which is a cool weapon. I dig it They had a cool transition from black in this one with the bullet holes going into the target. That was a really cool Scene starter that Lustig came up with I love it very very awesome Is this the same convenience store that was being held up in the second one Because the convenience store that they have in this that starts, you know Kind of the conflict with the police and Frank It looks exactly like the convenience store in the second one and I was just like if it's the same one It's just it's kind of funny because it's like man this convenience store can't get a break And then I said holy crap The mother of Sullivan basically said just let my daughter die if it looks like she's gonna die And I think that first of all, that's a for shadowing in a way second of all it is also a a kind of look at quality of life with intervention of modern medicine at least modern medicine then and Kind of the question of you know Do you keep someone alive hooked up to machines and on a ventilator and everything if they're in a coma or do you just let Them go now obviously her mother's choice and she talked about religion a little bit is you know Just let her go let her soul go But then you see kind of the other side of it where you know Cordell died but because of his desire to set things right or Get revenge basically because he was wronged his soul wasn't at rest and that's actually the reason they say The guy who brought him back with voodoo.  So that was kind of interesting I do like the dog. Okay. I already talked about that Sorry, Lustig always does a good job shooting Cordell in the shadows and there's a bunch of that in the beginning So it's just like a cool like silhouette and he's always shot really well It's like just enough lighting and I like it. I Don't think cutting off Frank's air the part this is a very small thing But when McKinney's cutting off Frank's air I don't think that actually would have done what it did because it's not like he was actually Intubated and the machine was breeding for him. It was just giving him extra oxygen So he wouldn't have been like choking for air like he was Especially because of the way he was talking prior to that happening and he seemed pretty fine So that's just a small thing. But those things kind of bother me I assume the nightmare that woke Sullivan up was supposed to be a mix of her Of her seeing that she's becoming a little bit too much like Cordell because that's kind of talked about People actually make that comparison of Sullivan versus Cordell quite a bit in this film So it's kind of a nightmare of her being like oh my god I might be coming too much like him, but also feeling Getting that kind of spiritual feeling that Cordell was back from the dead basically But it's also foreshadowing because Cordell wants her as a bride in the end Which is some interesting kind of like bride of Frankenstein story injection into this Which I guess you kind of get at the end the bride of Frankenstein and the very very end scene where the burnt hand comes Out and touches the other one. So I saw that was interesting McKinney using the gurney As a way to like get a drop on Frank and the other bad guy to shoot him up was a very cool action scene And that that kind of goes with something else is like this isn't so much It is a horror film, but it's more an action film than it is horror film And I mean I feel like the first and second one are like that too like the whole trilogy is like that I'd call it like an action horror film more action with some horror to it So and the action scenes are cool the romance between McKinney and dr. Fowler in this is Pointless stupid just injected for having a relationship But you have to understand when you're watching this that that's what they did back then You know 80s 90s for a long time in film actually even before 80s 90s They felt like they always had had a have a romance have a have that Relationship aspect to it even when it doesn't matter and I'm glad that we've kind of gone away from that quite a bit in film Because I'm fine with it being there if it actually serves a purpose for the story in this it doesn't at all It's just pointless and dumb and actually waste time and slows the film down When you really don't need to do that this film really needed to be picked up with pacing The flaming cordel car chase is really cool and something I said in my review of Maniac cop 2 was that they had to find a way to like up the ante on the car chases in that because they had car Chases in the first one and they did that with like the sparks And then having the second car chase be in it in a van But this one they did it by having a flaming cordel driving the car and doing the chase So yet again, I was actually impressed they were able to find a way to kind of up the ante on the car chase again And make it interesting so kudos on that it was it was fun And then the whole thing in the end with McKinney like lighting a cigarette off of the burning arm I thought that's awesome. I thought it's funny You know, it's just a really funny moment because you don't expect it You're like, oh, he's getting out of cigarette and then he picks up the burning arm and lights it with it It's just it's a good way to to come into the end of the film. That's funny And I didn't say that much about the actual events of the film because honestly It's a it's a bit of a slog to get through it Like I said, there's like some cool thematic and metaphorical things in the film But overall if you're viewing it is just like a film without trying to deep dive into it It's pretty boring except for those few scenes that I've talked about Just saying especially because the kills with Cordell are not that great And I think that Cordell just should have been in it more Yeah, it's just it's it's uneven So let me go to some of the themes and stuff that I really wanted to bring up which I think are pretty solid This one goes off the disappointment of seeing justice not fully served Which is basically what Cordell is the personification of and I talked about this in my review for the second one he is the restless personification of All the disappointment that police officers see when justice isn't actually served and that's happening in this because You know, obviously the situation with that, you know, Jack Earl Haley's character Frank is that he's it looks like he's gonna get out of You know the justice that he should have had coming to him for what he did because of the spin from the media from that particular news station, so It's definitely a play in this one here It's the next step of it takes it to that next step It kind of plays more on the lawyers coming into play and the media coming into play prior to that It was still just within the police department and them causing issues and covering things up now It's kind of expanded and gone further than that and it's the lawyers and it's the media trying to you know Create the perfect environment so that this guy doesn't actually get what should have been coming to him He he gets a unbelievable break that he shouldn't have because he's scum obviously like we see in the beginning This makes a point of X the exploitative nature Potential exploitative nature of media when it comes to covering crimes It's about making something awful into entertainment Which stands in stark contrast to police trying to deal with that The police want it to go away and they want to deal with it So it does go away But the media actually prays for things like this to happen because of entertainment value and it gets eyes on their channel Literally early on in this the cameraman was praying He said he was praying to the news gods that there would be something good to cover like that and it's gross It's disgusting now when I talk about this This is some real life type stuff with there is a problem with the way that that Violence and crime is covered within the media Generally not always, but it is important to note that the media is not evil I know there's been this movement of people saying the media is terrible. That's fake news all this stuff.  You just need to be able to look at what's being presented and understand What is problematic and what is not because it's a mixture. It's much like anything in life. There's a lot of gray area There's a lot of gray area. It's not all black or white and all the media is not all bad And the media is not all good. It's a mixture of stuff So you just need to be smart use your critical thinking and keep your eyes open The moment the cameraman is interviewing the kid whose sister was shot is a really pivotal moment This speaks a lot to what I was saying about this media issue of how they portray violence Because there's a moment where he can be human the cameraman can be human when he realizes That it was the kids sister and he's very emotional about it He literally puts his job aside for a second by moving away from the camera That's him distancing himself from his actual job And at that moment you think he's gonna say something like oh, you know I'm really sorry and like console him and be a human for a moment and you see him thinking about that But then he puts his eye back behind the camera and he keeps going he's chosen his profession and and getting the interview and and Using this death this violence as a way to get ratings and create entertainment He's made that terrible choice and that is something that people actually do people not just I'm not just talking in a media situation But there are people who will choose their profession over Humanity and it happens a lot so yeah It's messed up and I like that the script speaks to that type of stuff And like I'm saying like there's a lot to pick apart with this film and it gets pretty deep It's just if you're watching it as a straight film. It's pretty relatively boring and Then the last thing I have to say is our last two things it's interesting to see in this religion bringing the dead back but with great agony and Similarly modern medicine is actually bringing people back from the brink of death But also with great agony and it's great soul agony with Cordell being brought to back from the brought back from the dead with Religion and physical agony and actually some mental and maybe soul agony with some with People being brought back from the brink of death by modern medicine best seen with Sullivan as she's like having these nightmares and everything and It gets to my final kind of thought about this Which I think is really cool and interesting to really consider about this film With that said, what's the difference between the physical states of Cordell and Sullivan in this film? One kept alive by religion and one by medicine Cordell has flashbacks of his life Which are painful causing pain for him while Sullivan has nightmares of hers also painful for her So painful at one point that actually wakes her out of her coma momentarily So I think that that's a really cool dichotomy that they show there that Different but similar religion on this side bringing people back from the dead and there's so much pain with that and modern Medicine on this side bringing people back from the brink of death and there's so much agony and pain with that And I love how these two characters come together and it's the Frankenstein and Bride of Frankenstein I think for that reason it's kind of brilliant that it was written that way But once again the actual execution of just watching the film isn't as Interesting as this kind of underlying theme this subtext this metaphor of play here So it's kind of unfortunate for that reason But that said because I see these things in the film. I kind of like it more than people may like it But it's I still recognize it's not like great. So With a total potential of five stars and half stars in play I'm gonna give it a two and a half star rating because it really does put me right on the fence with it Like I really like the deep dive aspect of it But if I watch it again, am I watching it for that? Probably not and watching it from that standpoint It's not that entertaining. It's it's like I said, it feels longer than it is Which is not good because it's not a long film But anyway, I would have been interested to see what they could have done with a fourth film They could have taken that that Frankenstein and Bride of Frankenstein and two to resurrected killers could have happened because you now You know, it's possible so just saying but Yeah, put your comments down here I want to know your thoughts not just about maniac cop three beds of silence But all the maniac cop films and we can talk about whatever else you want to horror wise Do me a quick favor though hit that subscribe button It really does mean a lot to me personally and it can mean a lot for my Growth of my channel and I really do.

Hi, this is Tracy Tokahama-Spinoza and this is a video to explain the differences between educational neuroscience, the learning sciences, and mind, brain, and education science. I think it's really important to define these terms because basically the subtle differences that we find between them explains the audiences, the purpose of the existence of the field, what types of collaboration can exist as well as the funding sources, and especially the overall goals of each of these fields. So despite what good old Shakespeare would have said about a rose by any other name would still smell as sweet, it is important to share and understand the different professional vocabulary that's involved in each of these different fields. So in looking at what is similar and what is different about these three terms will help us determine exactly where the focus is of each of these fields and it also helps us interpret the information that comes out of the journals that are produced by those different fields. So full disclosure, I am very partial to this little sweet spot here in the very center of mind, brain, and education science, but I do very much appreciate all of the information coming out of the learning sciences and out of educational neuroscience and I'd like to explain why I do find these slightly different and I'll begin with some just core linguistics. If I ask you what is the difference between educational neuroscience and neuroeducation, think about that for a second. Now it's this intersection here between neuroscience and education so it could be either of these two terms but the main point is that the first term is actually a sub or secondary field of the second term. So the second term is actually the primary field. So when we talk about educational neuroscience, education is a sub element of neuroscience. When we talk about neuroeducation, neuroscience is a sub field of education. So even within this smaller sub element you see that there's a kind of a turf war for which is the primary field and which is the secondary field. When we talk about the learning sciences though that's a much broader concept. The learning sciences looks into the life and neural sciences, natural sciences, it looks into education, pedagogical sciences and the social sciences and psychology. All of these different fields fall under this umbrella of the learning sciences. The learning sciences are basically any field that helps explain and I would say in this case human learning. Now this great umbrella term is very very useful because it does help us understand the main focus here of all of these different fields when we look into cognitive psychology or if we look into biology or nutrition or if we look into the psychological sciences or pedagogy the key here is to understand how humans learn best. Now this is slightly different than when we talk about mind, brain and education science. The very conscious decision to name the field mind, brain and education science does two different things that help us understand the subtle differences between educational neuroscience and learning science. The first one is that there is no such thing as a subfield or a primary field. When you have the words mind, comma, brain, comma and education science you're actually saying that all of those fields that neuroscience psychology and education are all on an even keel. There's not a difference between which field is a subfield of the other. They're actually all treated equally. And the second thing that mind, brain and education does that the learning sciences doesn't do for example is that the focus is not just on learning. The focus is on the teaching and learning dynamic and how this iterative process actually creates understanding in the human mind. And this is really key because Sarah, Jane, Blakemore and Udufrith have pointed out you know we know a little bit about how the human brain learns and we know hardly anything about how we teach to take advantage of how the human brain learns. So this is a very big difference and I think it's worth pointing out when we look at the field and when we talk about this dynamic of the teaching and learning process it's not just that what might occur in a lab right where you have a stimulus and you get a response and you think okay so we've taught something and that is actually learned. The key idea within mind, brain and education science is that there's an appreciation for this very complex and iterative process which goes back and forth a little bit of teaching, a little bit of adjusting, we tweak our lessons and then finally that kid will understand something. So it's not something that just can be found in a simple lab experiment of you know one thing causes another one thing creates the conditions for the other but rather that we appreciate this very complex understanding that teaching has a lot to do with a teacher's ability to diagnose a problem to plan a lesson to put this into the right context to reflect and get the students to reflect on their own learning moments and what they already know about the context or the information then to apply that new lesson and then to motivate that kid to do something to give them feedback so that then there can be this interpretation on the part of the student and then their general understanding and then they can build on their own knowledge and rehearse that information so it really sticks so it can be reinforced and then it can be consolidated and we can then say yeah he really learned something. So this kind of messy complex situation of the classroom is something that's very much deeply appreciated within the mind brain and education sciences. So this means that within mind brain and education you can actually look at data on very different levels. Mind brain and education really appreciates changes at the molecular level so understanding you know the basic neuroscience of learning.  How are neural networks created?  This molecular level is something that's understood by all of the participants in the field but it also appreciates this very individual and oftentimes psychological perspective on the individual. How is that individual taking in the information? How does his or her own context change the way that that information is interpreted and used and sometimes built upon to create new knowledge and sometimes just lost? But mind brain and education also very much appreciates the classroom context and the messiness of the situation and the fact that we're not just talking about a particular synapse or a individual but how the dynamics of kids interacting actually changes their learning experiences. And this has even grown to a greater level where we can look at greater societal comparisons to the extent that there is this field now of cultural neuroscience. What are the things that are generally true for all human brains and what are the things that are highly culturally bound? So one of the reasons that I appreciate membrane education science is because it tries to look at all of these different levels of understanding of human learning and how to teach to take advantage of that. So this means that we're no longer just looking at neuroscientists trying to educate teachers on what the best way is to approach teaching and learning but rather teachers helping neuroscientists understand real life context and the messiness of the classroom. And it's not just confirming psychological theories with neuroscientific tools that we now have but also that neuroscientists can actually suggest new theories or psychological theories to the field based on new information that's emerging. And it's not that education just serves as a platform or a space for psychological interpretation but rather that the psychological theories can be adapted to the classroom context or to educational context in general. So this means that there is this general back and forth between all of the different fields. It's a mutually beneficial relationship. There is a balance there. And the real focus of membrane education has to do with usable knowledge. How does this then turn into something I might do differently in the classroom tomorrow? It's very much based on this general idea that to know is not enough. Just having the knowledge about how humans learn isn't enough. It has to be taken that next step further to understand how we benefit the teacher and student relationship or that dynamic that leads to human learning in the end. So in some of this means taking what we know about how the brain learns to teach better. I believe that mind, brain and education science is now needed more than ever. Basically because we there's now a greater acceptance that any problem a human being is going to face in the world cannot just be approached with a unifocal vision of solutions. So there's nothing no problem that you can face in the world that is better resolved with just you know a mathematical mind or just a language mind or just a history focused mind or an artistic mind. This transdisciplinary vision is almost always superior in finding better solutions. I also think it's important because after about 125 years of formal education we have not figured it out you know just as teachers. We haven't figured out the right way to teach all kids and maximize the potential. So we really need to be nurturing ourselves with the other learning sciences that will help contribute to better student learning outcomes and human learning as a whole. And finally I think that the world is pretty much ready for mind, brain and education because the brain is complex and I think we are getting to a stage where teachers do appreciate this complexity and do understand the urgency of improving our practice as teachers as what I believe is the most important job in society using all the tools possible and available to us to improve our practice. So one of the ways that I have done this personally is to take this idea of mind, brain education science but I've done this backwards. I've taken the work of John Hattie and his visible learning and what really influences student learning outcomes and I've tried to explain how and why those things do impact student learning looking at it with a mind, brain, education lens. This means beginning with you know really core basics. What are your key attitudes? What are the things that you think influence student learning outcomes? How do you think intelligence is formed? How do you think the brain learns? Many of these things are just purely attitude and all you grow up with them. You have certain beliefs that sometimes can be very wrong and those are neural myths. For example that intelligence is fixed, people are born either smart or not smart and there's nothing that school can do about it. Well that would be a myth, right? So getting those things out of the way is a key part of improving student learning outcomes by helping teachers understand this core information about the brain and learning and then advancing to higher order concepts. So this means that the emergence of the field of mind, brain and education science which really began just you know around the turn of the century around 2001 we started to have or even the hints of the creation of society around this idea. So it is a new idea but it's something that's really catching on I believe and it does have a lot of merit and it should be separated out from educational neuroscience for example or just the learning sciences because it does have this element of pedagogy, of teaching, of didactics, of understanding how you actually operationalize the information. It does have this huge element now of additional basics of the human brain so we want teachers to understand the core elements of the nervous system, the brain, you know what our synapses, how do neurotransmitters influence learning, what is the role, the key role of memory and attention in learning but also understand the general psychology you know how do emotions or how does affect influence cognitive abilities and what is the role of consciousness in learning and how do interpersonal relationships influence those learning dynamics within our classroom. So a new curriculum focus for mind, brain and education specialists or for teachers in general would be much broader than what is currently taught in our teacher education schools and hopefully this will change pretty quickly. This has also been echoed by the OECD a new publication that just came out in February 2017 which really does lay down the groundwork and recommends to its 35 member countries to the ministries of education of these countries there has got to be a shift in teacher education the way we cultivate teachers in in our profession has to be modified by this new information that comes from mind, brain, education science from educational neuroscience and from the learning sciences. So this means teachers you know will need to know a bit more about how neuroimaging really shows or doesn't show information about how humans can think and learn what are neurotransmitters or the chemicals that are in the brain, what is this concept of plasticity and how learning actually can be physiologically shown through changes in the human brain, theories of consciousness, beliefs about intelligence, what are new learning theories that are coming out of this, the general concept of neuroethics and this key idea of human variability even though we might have general concepts about how the human brain learns humans are so interesting and unique and thanks to this great combination of what they inherit in their genes and what happens to them in their environment there will be very very different and we also want to have teachers have a clear understanding even though they might not have a direct influence on improving things understand the role of sleep and learning and memory consolidation understand the role of physical exercise and learning or how good nutrition influences learning all of these things are important new topics to enter teacher education program so new teacher formation will not only include you know better understanding of just to you know how is it the brain is learning language or math or art or creativity or how is it that interprets symbols, orders, patterns, categories or relationships but also in a broader sense and probably responding better to what is the overall demand of schools these days understand how does the brain trigger emotions that actually impact the way we feel about our environment and how we learn how does motivation develop how do intention and memory influence what we can learn understanding social contagion how one person can influence another's general emotional state and therefore cognitive potential in that particular setting how does the brain manage time and space all of these are topics that you know most teachers find really fascinating but they have not yet worked their way into the general curriculum structure so understanding the research that's out there now the current research that's occurring in mind brain education is really key to new teacher education in a recent study that I conducted over the summer of 2016 I found a wonderful level of agreement of experts in the field about what are core principles that can be taught to teachers and also acknowledged some very key impediments to the growth of the field including the lack of integration into general teacher training programs including the persistence of neural myths in teachers thinking and including the lack of opportunities for true collaboration between neuroscientist psychologists and educators and the panelists also mentioned that it would be very very important for mind brain education to take a more active role in actually influencing educational policy based on scientific evidence whereas all policies should always be based on evidence it's very important to show that there's a lot of rich new research that's coming out that is not available yet to many politicians they just aren't aware of some of the very important findings that could influence educational policy that could have an impact on whether or not a nation rises to the top as far as student learning outcomes is concerned so at the core of this research this basically leads us to a couple of really key steps the first is to help teachers eliminate these neuro myths that plague their general understanding about how humans learn about how intelligence is formed and that will give us some solid foundations upon which we can say okay here are some truths now obviously in science there are no truths there's just a more evidence or less evidence but there are a handful of things that we can say are true about all human brains and then there's some things that we know are still true about human brains but there's huge human variability what are those things teachers need to know these things from that we can actually build on instructional guidelines so the key here is to take the information that we have and grow with it to develop better and more modern methods of how to teach and learn in our classrooms so this brings us back to the definition of the terms while I deeply appreciate the information coming out of educational neuroscience or neuro education and very much recognize that without the learning sciences there is no mind brain and education science so understanding those subtle differences gives me reason to to feel that mind brain and education science holds a lot of the keys to better policy decisions better interactions in our classroom but most importantly for every single kid in our classroom being able to personalize and understand the complexities of the teaching learning dynamic will help that individual reach his or her own potential thanks for your attention keep in touch


My name is Dr. Gregorio Gillen. I am an internist, a board certified in Perthambuy and I'm originally from Dominican Republic, but Raritan Bay Medical Center, like I always mentioned, has been my home. That's where I grew up, I grew up professionally. I love the community and I hope they love me too. I have always, always been a giver. We are here very short time. Life is very short and you do not take anything material when you go. I think that the one thing you can take with you is how satisfied were you with your contributions to the betterment of other human beings and that has no price, that has no price. I always wanted to give back to the community and one of the ways to do that is giving to the hospital. My alma mater, my home, and by giving to the hospital I was also giving to the community and helping the people in town and with our contributions the hospital uses that to update equipments, to improve our patients' rooms, patient areas, emergency room facilities and nothing gives me more pleasure than to look at all of those improvements and know that I was part of that. When I have a patient that I can feel is very poor, many times I call the pharmacy next door and tell them to give the medication, put it into my personal account. The same concept can be applied to institutions or people that have that desire to help, in this case the patient will be right at Bay Medical Center, give to the hospital so the hospital can continue their magnificent work of delivering health care to that community.

Service Agreement is required on both devices, serving you for the last 25 years with better service and bigger savings. At today's Appalachian Wireless. As holidays go, Thanksgiving may be one of the best. It brings out a true charitable spirit in people from all walks of life. And today in Preston'sburg, that charitable spirit was on display at St. James Episcopal Church, where hundreds of people will come to receive a free meal. We have, usually on Tuesdays, we have food pantry from two to five. And last year we initiated a Thanksgiving dinner because in the years past, we've had enough in the food pantry budget for a turkey for each family. But our enrollment got up to 250 families and so we can't do that. So last year and again this year, we're giving a Thanksgiving dinner the same time as our weekly soup kitchen. So last year we served about 240 people. So hopefully this year, we'll do the same. The Fishes and Loaves Food Pantry here at St. James Episcopal Church is open on Tuesdays and Thursdays. And they rely greatly on the support from within the community. If you would like to donate non-perishable food items here, they can take donations on Tuesday afternoons.

One of the best ways to stay healthy this cold and flu season is by enhancing our own immune systems And you can do that by incorporating turmeric into your diet on a regular basis It has a lot of anti-inflammatory properties that I think you might want to check out now today We're making a chocolate golden milk recipe for you, and we're using chocolate today I have a couple other recipes where I don't use chocolate and I'll leave links for those But I wanted to change it up today just because a lot of people like chocolate and some people don't like the flavor of turmeric So this kind of hides it and you get a lot of benefits from the chocolate that we're going to use be using as well because it has a lot of polyphenols and Lots of minerals and vitamins. I'm rockin robin, and I'm going to show you how to do it right after this So this turmeric tea recipe is so easy for you It's only going to take us like five six minutes tops, and then you'll be drinking this delicious tea But before we get started I want to tell you my chef joke So I've got two two chef jokes for you today one I'm going to tell you now and one a little bit later. Okay, here we go. What do you call a healthy dinosaur? T-Rex So let's go over our ingredients first up. I'm using coconut milk full fat now You can use any milk that you want you can use almond milk soy milk oat milk You know like any of them the reason I like to use the coconut milk is because it has a fair amount of fat in it And that leads us to the turmeric So in order to increase the bioavailability of the curcumin in the turmeric You need to add some fat to it and you need to add some pepper Those two things are going to increase the absorbability of the curcumin in the body by about 2000% okay the the pepper really does that if you're going to use a different milk That doesn't have a lot of fat in it You're going to have to add a little bit of fat you could use something like coconut oil Maybe a couple of teaspoons that would work or maybe a little bit of butter if you want to do that, okay? So we'll add our coconut milk to a saucepan So of course we're going to add some turmeric to this and you can start off by using maybe just a half a teaspoon if You're not really falling to the flavor and you can work your way up to say a teaspoon after a while Next up. We have our chocolate here This is cocoa powder and it has lots of iron and magnesium and just it's full of polyphenols Which are really good for us So and this one has no sugar in it additional sugar So that's that's good and then we are going to have to sweeten this up so that it tastes really nice And we're going to add a little maple syrup now You could add other sweeteners if you choose you could add honey But I would suggest waiting till your tea cools just a bit before adding it so that you don't you know Destroy the nutritional benefits of the honey You could use monk fruit sweetener that would work as well too and you know pretty much You know you can use regular sugar too if you want. All right I've got some saline Cinnamon here which has sort of a nice little sweet hint of flavor to it I'm going to add a little bit of vanilla extract and of course our pepper Which is really important and you don't have to add a lot to that just a pinch or maybe you know An eighth of a teaspoon or maybe even a little bit less It just takes a little bit to really increase the bioavailability of that curcumin and then to finish this off. I just have some Chocolate here that is 70% cacao and it has some sugar in it, but it's a nice I'm going to grate it over the top and it just finishes it off and it's just delicious So let's take this over to the stove and start heating it up So I'm going to just heat this up. I've got it on medium-high heat I'm going to keep a close eye on it And this will take about two minutes until all the spices and everything dissolves Here's that last chef joke you've been waiting for Okay, when shouldn't you drink a hot beverage? When it's not your cup of tea Here's our chocolate turmeric tea notice how rich and creamy this is So let's go in with a little bit of grated chocolate over the top. It must be time for a taste It's like dessert. It is so good. It's chocolatey. I can still taste the turmeric But it's milled out because of the chocolate. It is delicious So if you want to try another variation of turmeric tea, I've got the recipe for you to try It's my turmeric tea with cinnamon. I'm gonna leave a link for you right over here click that and check it out It's made it's it's made with water essentially. There's no milk in that one so it is much lighter in in texture and you know flavor and You can drink it hot or cold and it is very refreshing. It's got some lemon in it and I think you're gonna love it It's very popular. So check it out. Thank you so much for watching today. I do appreciate you all and Don't forget to leave me a comment I always love to hear from you and give me a thumbs up if you liked the video. All right, we'll see you next week


Hello everyone. I hope you guys are having a wonderful day. Thanks for visiting my channel. My name is Ifthikar and I teach about AdSense, Arbitrage and AdSense in general. Alright, so a lot of you guys have seen ads in a couple of websites like this, like text-based ads. For example, hotels, special rates, Dublin hotels and stuff. And they have a thing called the next button within it. So in AdSense, Arbitrage, we kind of try to monetize our earnings through this next button. So it looks identical to the next page and the ads that come up here also have this next page. So what happened is that when people think they're going to go to the next page, most of the time they click on this type of ads. And as AdSense is showing a lot of display ads, matched ads and inarticle ads, these kind of ads are kind of going away. So today I'm going to show you a very simple trick. It takes less than one second on how to show this kind of ads in your website. So first of all, it doesn't happen with every AdSense account. It depends on the age, but you know, it's worth to try a little bit. Check if you can see, you know, this kind of ads come to your websites, but you need to do a little bit of adjustment. Alright, so the first thing we're going to copy paste this on our usual Notepad software. And when you copy paste this as a script to the whole thing, the AdSense ad code will look something like this. By the way, it only works with custom ad unit ideas, not the auto ads. So when you have this kind of code, make sure look for a term called data ad format and it's set as auto, right? So all you have to do is very simple. Just put it text. That's it. Now you copy paste and put it under your content, wherever you want to show this type of ads. Again, it doesn't come to everyone. I have tried it with a couple of my clients. They said, you know, it's working for them, but other clients said it's not coming to them. But still, you know, the field rate is pretty high and the click through rate is also pretty high. You'll get as same as CBC as a desktop. So around 35 cents to 60 or 70 cents, sometimes $1 to. So this type of ads can come to your website. All you have to do is just put data ad format equals text. And you can increase your CBC as well as click through rate by at least 50%. All right. So I do have an AdSense arbitrage course going on. It's on Black Friday for sale. Do check it out. And by the way, if you are having problem with your AdSense invalid clicks, bot traffic or, you know, Google is just taking away your money, do check out my WordPress plugin called AdSense Protector. Link is in the description.


The name of the presentation is More Accurate Differential Properties of LED64 and Midori64. We will start with the background and contribution, following that we will introduce the related preliminaries. And then we present an automatic tool for the search of differential. After that, we provide more accurate differential analysis of LED and Midori.  Differential cryptanalysis is one of the most fundamental techniques targeting symmetric key primitives. Since its introduction, many investigations managed to achieve a prurable security against it. Among these works, many researchers want to provide more accurate distribution of the fixed key differential probability. Apart from the theoretical research, another strong trend in the field of differential is the automatic tool for the search of differential trail or differential. However, most of the techniques focus on the search of differential trail. Although we are able to obtain a large number of differential trails, how to use this trail to launch more accurate differential cryptanalysis is an open problem. Based on this observation, we focus on these essential problems. Firstly, we consider the fixed key probability of a differential trail. And then in order to deal with differential effect, we consider the fixed key probability of a differential when multiple trails are available. We also consider the vector ratio of a differential since it reflects the effectiveness of differential cryptanalysis. The contribution of this paper can be divided into these three parts. The first one is we provide an automatic tool for the search of differential. We know the previous techniques based on SMT can realize the same task. However, since we want to use SETS over to handle differential effect in the following, so we also prefer to use SET here to finish the searching task. And the second contribution is we provide an automatic method for the search of red pairs of the step function. With this method, we found many iterative and non-iterative differential. And with the new differential, we improve the previous differential attacks. The second part is we provide two models for the estimation of the VK space and we apply these models to the analysis of Midori 64. Before we move on to our results, we briefly recall some related preliminaries. The concatenation of differences for R plus 1 internal states constitutes an R-round differential characteristic or we say differential trail. The differential probability of a differential with input difference alpha and output difference beta equals to the probability that a pair satisfies the input difference and output difference simultaneously. For a K function, we can define the K differential probability accordingly. The expected differential probability equals the average value of the fixed K differential probability over the whole K space. The weight of a differential or a trail equals to the negative binary logarithm of the EDP. Markov's cipher is an ideal iterative cipher. For this cipher, the average differential probability over one round is independent of the input. So in the differential analysis, with the assumption of independent round case, the EDP of a differential characteristic equals the product of the EDPs for each round. And the EDP of a differential equals the sum of the EDP for all differential trails within the differential. Since Markov's cipher is an ideal primitives, this kind of evaluation may deviate from the real differential probability. Many designers want to make their ciphers achieve provable security against differential cryptanalyze. Modern ciphers are designed to withstand the existence of the dominating trail. For this cipher, we can use the hypothesis of strategic equivalence to finish the proof of security. It claims that for most values of the K, the fixed K differential probability equals the EDP of the differential. Afterwards, Damon and Raymond reconsidered the distribution of the fixed K probability. They proved that for a K alternating cipher, the number of thread pairs under a fixed K follows a poison distribution. The parameter of the poison distribution is related to the EDP of the differential. It's well known that when the parameter of the poison distribution is sufficiently large, it can be approximated by a normal distribution. For the approximated normal distribution, we know the probability that the K satisfies this condition is about 50%. We call the case for fulfilling this condition, the fixed K, since when this K is used in differential analysis, the attack is more likely to succeed. We donate the set of fixed Ks as WK. Now, we present the first contribution of our work. It is an automatic method for the search of differential. The automatic search is based on the set problem. It considers the satisfiability of a given Boolean formula. We use cryptomaniaset in all our search. One reason is that it is compatible with XOR operation. The second reason is that it supports the usage of searching for multiple solutions. The key step to realize the automatic search is to construct a model for the components of the primitive. We transform the differential propagation rule for these components into set problems in conjunctive normal form. And then invoke set solver to search for the differential trail. In order to search for differential, we need to invoke the set solver for several times. We want to remark that the number of solutions handled by the solver is determined by individual set problem. According to our experience, 2 to the 33 is an upper bound. Although with this method, we are able to obtain a large number of differential trails, but the crucial problem is how to use this trail to conduct differential cryptanalyses more accurately. With this problem, we move on to the differential analysis of LED. Since we target the differential with high probability, so we need to generate a method to accurately evaluate the differential probability. Since the step function of LED is public mapping, we find that the problem of computing the differential probability is equivalent to the problem of searching for the right pair of a given differential. So we turn to the problem of search for the right pairs of a given differential. The first step is to search for many trails within the differential, and then we generate constraints on the value of the right pairs. And then we convert these constraints into set problems and use set solver to search for the right pair of the trail. And the right pairs for all the trails constitute the right pairs for the given differential. So the remaining problem is how to generate these constraints for the right pair. They first introduce a closely related conception. For a differential, we combine all the input values of the right pair into a set F, and the output values of all the right pairs are organized as a set G. And the differential is called a planar differential if F and G are fan subspaces. And the mapping is planar if all the differential over eta planar. And it's easy to prove that the S layer composed of the parallel applications of S boxes is planar when all the S boxes have differential uniformity of 4. So for the K-operating cyber, if the S layer is planar, for any differential trail with the input difference delta X and the output difference delta Y, we know the set F and G are fan spaces. So we can construct metrics and vectors so that for a vector, if a vector falls into the fan space, if and only if it satisfies this equation. And since the structure of the step function follows the K-operating cyber and LED utilize S boxes with differential uniformity of 4. So with the previous two equations, we can derive the first constraints for the right pair of the step function. This constraint is come from the difference of the differential trail. Apart from the constraints from the differential trail, we require the internal states of the right pair follows the encryption rule. So these three constraints can fully determine the right pair of a differential trail. And then we transform these constraints into set problem in conjunctive normal form and call set forward to search for all the right pairs corresponding to a differential trail. To sum up, in order to obtain the right pairs of a given differential, we need to firstly search for many differential trails within the differential and then generate metrics and vectors corresponding to the trail and apply in set forward to get the right pair. With this method, we have found many iterative and non-iterative differential for LED and with improved differential, we improve the previous related K attack. Now, the last part is about the differential analysis of Midori 64 considering the K schedule. In this part, firstly, we will say for each differential trail of the differential, we can derive a subspace of the K space and this space covers the VK space of the differential trail. And the union of this set is related to the VK ratio of the differential. And then a K forced into more than one space, the corresponding fixed K probability will increase since the corresponding trail will hold simultaneously. So, from the view of the designer, we want to minimize the VK ratio and from the view of the attacker, we want to detect the maximum number of compatible characteristics and the case validates all the compatible characteristics might be used in a VK attack. So, in this part, on the one hand, we want to give a method to evaluate the VK ratio and on the other hand, we want to determine the maximum number of compatible characteristics. For the K alternating cypher, when the S layer is planar, we can derive a linear confidence on the involved subcase. The necessary condition for a differential trail for a differential trail have red pair is the S subcase forcing to the fan space. And otherwise, if the subcase falls out of this fan space, the differential trail will have no red pair. So, for a differential consists of multiple characteristics, if a particular K leads all characteristics to be impossible trail, the differential under this fixed K turns into an impossible differential. And we donate this case as an IK and clearly the VK space is covered by the complementary set of IK. So, in the previous description, we know the VK space of each trail is covered by the set VK. So, the VK space of the differential is covered by the union of this VK. And this probability constitutes a major upper bound for the VK ratio. So, we turn the problem of evaluating the VK ratio into a problem of estimating the stress of this set. And since we found that handling the intersection set is more convenient than the union set, so we applied the Morgan's law here to transform the union set into intersection set. And then we proposed an automatic method to evaluate the stress of this set. The main idea is to convert the constraints on the set into clauses in conjunctive normal inset problem and invoke steps over to solve the search and task. As a result, we provide full run differential with VK ratio much lower than 50%. And in order to validate the theoretic results, we do some tests with random K and the experimental results face very well with the theoretic value. And from the view of the designer, if this kind of differential is utilized in a differential analysis, the attacker will probably fail since he can't find red pairs under the red key. The last problem is the maximum number of compatible characteristics. Firstly, we introduce closely related problems. The max puzzle problems, given a set of polynomial functions, the max puzzle problems is to find x such that it satisfies the maximum number of polynomials in the function set. And in the previous description, we know K falls into the VK space of the trail if and only if K satisfies this linear constraint. And we donate this linear constraint as FG. We find that determining the maximum number of compatible characteristics is equivalent to finding K such that the number of functions following this condition is maximized. To solve the max puzzle problem, there are many automatic methods and we use an automatic method based on set to settle this problem. As a result, we apply this method to the analysis of a full run differential of Midori. We find the maximum number of compatible characteristics and since the case validates all the compatible characteristics, we'll have a higher differential probability. We find that on each subspaces, the EDP of the differential is improved from about 2 to the minus 24 to 2 to the minus 16. And we also find that the probability that K with this enhanced probability is at least 2 to the minus 12. All the theoretic results are validated with random tests. Now we finish all the contents of the paper and give a conclusion here. Firstly, we propose an automatic method based on set to search for the differential and then we propose a method to search for the right pair of the step function of LED64. And at last, we propose two models to estimate the VK space of a differential. We want to remark that all the automatic methods can be generalized to analyze other samples. And the results in this paper illustrates that for some lightweight block samples with a simple K schedule, they need to pay more attention to the analysis of the differential. An open problem is how to utilize these automatic tools to provide more precise evaluation for the linear high effect. That's all for the presentation. Thank you for your attention. Christian, do you think these techniques can be applied to S-box which are not Blainer? To do this, you need to add some more techniques to handle that. For example, when the input space is not a fan space, maybe the union of the fan space, you can use other techniques to deal with that. Okay, thank you. And thank all the speakers of this session. And next is the coffee break. And the next session, we'll start at 11.30. So let's come back at 11.30.


I'm Ron Nelson. I'm the executive director here at the Long Beach Museum of Art. When I first heard of Pow Wow and I know many people have, I knew that it had happened in Hawaii. I knew that it was happening in Hong Kong. So I wanted to be boots in the ground. I really worked from an intuitive level, but I also really want to see an artist in work and I want to see what that's about. And I went and within minutes I was just amazed. So I knew that this needs to come to Long Beach. I think art is just freedom of expression. It's sort of unbridled creativity. Art is what the artist wants to do. My name is John Hall. I'm the lead director for Pow Wow Long Beach. I've been involved with Pow Wow for about three or four years now. I got involved mostly because I have a lot of friends who are artists who participated in Pow Wow and they told me it was really awesome and that I should check it out. One of the best things in my mind about Pow Wow Long Beach is how much it represents a community project.  There are benefits to public art. You get into the gentrification conversation pretty quickly, but it does have some really positive impact on the neighborhood. One of the only negative feedback we got from the community last year was that they would like to see more local participation. Alright, we'll start. I'm Gary Musgrave. And I'm Jeff McMillan. We're the Dracula's from Long Beach. Long Beach, California. We had these little sketches that we were working on and the one that they selected, they were like, okay, let's go to town on this. And to see it from like a small, you know, maybe eight and a half by eleven size sketch and then to bring it up to this scale is it's really... I mean, it's beautifying the city. Yeah, totally. I mean, when I see the murals, especially I guess where we're coming from in terms of inspiration, I really feel like it's like a fond memory of a little golden book or something like that, like a children's book or something where I want to go see it. It's beautifying and at the same time it's inclusive. Everybody can come out and enjoy that. Yeah, it becomes hotspots for the city where people come here like, let's go check out the murals and, God, there's, you know, twenty to thirty of them, you know. And it's cool to, you know, mark off your little checklist like I saw that one, I saw this one. It becomes almost like a scavenger hunt because some are more hidden than others. Over the years, through powwows coming back and insisting on doing really rad creative work, people have really been drawn to the neighborhood and it's transformed in a big, big way. It's like a marathon, right? Yeah, yeah. It's like you wanted to do it. You enjoyed doing it when you did it. But then there's the aftermath of like, especially when you don't do marathons. You have like the post-Project Blues. They want to show this art within their community and that's the kind of transformation I think that public art can have. And it can have for a society and it can have for any particular community.


What's up good people and welcome back to SPM Buzz my name is Shiko Gita and of course as you can see we have the OG Calligraph Jones Mambo VP. Mambo poor thank you for having me happy new year everybody Calligraph Jones in a place was good yeah of course they say the OG must be respected all day every day all day every day we do what we do best but we always got to be grateful to the fans because they are the ones who like give me that proper support to do what I do so God bless the fans and God bless Calligraph Jones yeah probably let me ask this before you get on stage Calligraph do you have like some expectations and maybe some goals you need to meet where before I perform I mean other than the fact that I'm contracted to come and perform the intention is to always give the fans the best experience and I believe that is what I always do and everybody who's here can attest to that you know so I just put myself in the right mindset irrespective of all the conditions that might be there the sound might be bad and all that but you just have to do what you have to do at the end of the day because them fans is out there and they want to see you do your thing and that's what we do here probably tonight's performance out of 10 no Zangu mostly out of 10 as Batuyanga 100 over 10 but yeah I think I give it like a good 200 yeah okay let's talk about your newest hit song Chacha of course doing a very well maybe tell us a little bit about it what do you want to know about it I think it's a it's a self-explanatory song Sijakwanikito Angoma for some time and I thought that that would be the most suitable song to start off the year with and I mean so far off we need reception that I'm seeing I believe very people like it and so good so fast so good yeah we talk about our line Pali walk you don't go blog us you guys I believe I believe you guys you're doing your job and we respect that I respect everybody who's doing their job it is your job to blog and post about stories but before you put out some information verify the information because we are professionals at this so we believe like even you guys on your side you need to be professional when you're getting stories before you post anything verify the information right and I'm maybe love that he said Ghani I spoke about that boy vocal clickbaits not picking up and I'm proven me call the spain name camera not to me I'm gonna come in again a camera mania because I said enough of a camera come as I cannot jay-z was calligraphy is in your presence but this is a big name I'm not sure and don't don't ever think that when I come to your interviews you're the ones who are giving me a platform I'm giving you a platform so improve on your people you're gonna do in the near camera smart but I'm just messing with you guys are doing a good job for the longest time I'm always giving you interviews in silver kido and everybody so you guys are doing a good job but it was all right and maybe just he's a Hingo ma palivo YouTube and also on all streaming platform yeah to lianza exclusively on boom play and then by tomorrow the song should be available on all digital platforms yes talking about the industry oh gee last week we saw Ezekiel Mutua state that they have 20 million for 16,000 Kenyan artists on the 25th of January that is next week on Thursday you saw that I saw that and I'm very happy I want to receive my my two thousand Bob probably one thousand five and leave my best life that's what I'm waiting for what do you keep a subwoofer leave all those you love raise of persons in a pair no adje necessary can I come back to you unless apart a one thousand two hundred and fifty Bob Kenyans see even though I'm a person in me he can only be some more but I'm just messing with you anyway that just goes to show you the the the rot that is in our structure these guys apparently are the ones you are supposed to be holding us up but they haven't been doing a good job and you're not sure and it's everybody can see that I've been advocated for this for the longest time come upon I'm sunny I'm a beginner any Kenyan music and for the creatives to be paid I think I'll probably stand in the forefront of that it is not right but there's something you're doing behind the scenes because you don't want to disclose that information you put it out that might disrupt the whole plan but behind the scenes you be working on something and you'll see revolution is coming in it will be televised yeah this means oh gee is a working on something that will at least give value to a Kenyan artist maybe probably when should we expect this end of this month end of this year when congratulations on your job you're doing a good job I mean I see now make one back I'm talking for your investigation you're trying to extract information from me but I mean it's something that is still in the pipeline we are just working on it and like it when when it's ready you guys are going to see yeah but you're hopeful we are optimistic and God is on our side all right let's also talk about someone that has also been making trends in our country because we have people who are thinking that unfortunately it seems any Vixen K.R.G. the don't K.R.G. Kosawa but no Miss Keon Goma K.R.G. you know Jua at the end of the day it doesn't matter if you think he's good or he's not you have to do what you have to do to to put yourself on the limelight you know Jua apparently I cannot discredit the guy I've actually done a song with him and I respect him of his unfortunately it doesn't work like that if you feel like K.R.G. doesn't isn't supposed to be where he is then you do something about it what you let it go limelight to find any new shinde Miss K.R.G. K.R.G. K.R.G. do you think he has the talent it doesn't matter what I think as long as he's making his money there's a time K.R.G. is more talented than a lot of people who are having songs that are trending in this country I think what are two problems You have to adapt to the game and with the times. He's doing well. He's driving. Of course, he will attend. I'm making money rain. You saw that video of him splashing money? The same thing, I'm the only one to do it. Even if I don't like what he's doing, I'm not going to change the world. I'm not going to change the world today. Like people do what they want to do. So, as we wind up, of course, it's new year, it's 2024. Hygians are visually sad in Kenya because we have been having a lot of things happening, especially the killings around Sana Sana, the family side stories. I've been seeing that, and it is very unfortunate that we have such things happening in this country at this time. I mean from where I am at this point, we want to discourage all the activities that I think we can do better, we can do better, and we want to make a debate over the issues that we have to deal with. We have to demand, like, men do not have to go to work. So, it is very unfortunate that we have such things happening and we need to resolve this matter. I love to talk about it, but I discourage that, I feel like it needs to change, it's not supposed to be like that. And it's very unfortunate, Manzip, but I think on the song I said, pull it to all the victims who are going through all that. Maybe Umeza Kutajakumba, maybe as men, they are supposed to be leading. And of course, we have seen a couple of ladies who are planning for a march next week. Maybe is it the same thing you would call for men to organize the same thing, a walk against Femiside and things like that? If that would work, all good. I think we just need to like tweet it, I love that forum, you want to a kai-chini, on a juacisi, some of the influential people in this country, we speak against it to want any, what ideas we can bring up to see that such things are, you know, like don't happen. So if, but if it gets to that point where people like need to march to put a point across, I mean, let's go, let's do it, yeah. Is it something you would probably spearhead as calligraph chunks? I have two girls, daughters, I have a wife on a juac, so of course it's something I will be in the forefront of if I need a guy. It is an initiative like I think I'd want to support, or I endorse rather, yeah. All right, thank you so much for your time. Okosawa, you're doing a good job, continue doing your thing. I love how you interview people, maintain that and don't chase clout, stick to the right thing and God is going to elevate you to levels you will not even believe or not are happy new year. Santisana and thank you to everyone who has been watching this video. Until next time, I've been Hoshiko Gitao. Remember to watch Chacha by OG. Find us on all platforms at SPM Buzz. K.E. you can find me too at i underscore. I'm Shiko Gitao.


I'm sure most of you heard about this 2010 film called, Despicable Me. It was really popular when it was released on July 2010. Well, I love that film too. Most notably, everyone recognizes the cute yellow creatures named, Minions, who serve supervillain turned hero Phelonius grew, and following the film's success, it made two sequels, releasing in 2014 and 2017. A spin-off prequel film, Minions, was released in 2015, which tell the epic story of the Minions before they met Gru. A sequel to the Minions film, Minions, The Rise of Gru, is scheduled to be released in 2021, following its delay from a July 2020 release following the global COVID-19 pandemic shutting down every cinema and theater in the world. Well, speaking of theaters and cinemas, I used to work at an AMC theater in California. I loved my job. Until I discovered something horrific. Here's what happened. I was just your typical, average, ordinary cinema employee. I was cleaning up Cinema Hall 7, which was showing inception. I swept the needed snacks on the chairs, floor, and little crevices in the walls. I sprayed the popcorn and soda filled air with some air freshening spray, and cleaned up all the soda spills. I was leaving the cinema hall until I saw what looked to be a yellow do not cross tape. The tape you would see in a crime scene. The tape was on the door that led to Cinema Hall 10. I asked my fellow colleagues if they know anything about this cinema hall, and they gave me the face of confusion. Sometimes I would get responses like, What are you talking about? And I don't know what you're talking about even. As my curiosity kept rising more and more, I asked the co-manager of the cinema if he knows about this cinema hall. Ha, do you know anything about Cinema Hall 10? I asked. What? He responded. It's like he doesn't know it existed and that I was the only one who knew. Stressed, I lead my co-manager to the door of Cinema Hall 10 and he followed me. I showed him the door of the cinema hall, and he became as pale as a ghost.  I sat down and he told me the entire story. He said that, back in 2010, Despicably premiered on that cinema hall and a hacker somehow managed to show a disturbing version of the film. Reports say that the moviegoers in Cinema Hall 10 were terrified and were immediately escorted to the hospital. It's said that one of the moviegoers told about this horrific experience. He said that the moviegoer told CNN about the movie. The co-manager then opened up his TV and played what looked to be a recording. The co-manager's TV played a recording of what looked to be a news report. The moviegoer then appeared on camera and said that he and the audience had shown the most scariest thing known to mankind. He said that in the scene where Gru and Margo were falling when Gru tried to save her from Vector, instead of the minions catching Gru and Margo, the minions didn't save Gru and Margo at all.  Scary music began to play as the camera showed Gru and Margo's dead bodies. The strange part was, the bodies looked like Gru and Margo's voice actor and voice actress, Steve Carroll and Miranda Cosgrove respectively. After showing 10 minutes of Gru and Margo's corpses, a pair of hands emerged from the bottom of the screen. A minion with blue eyes appeared and screamed so loud that the now frightened audience fled the Cinema Hall. Other moviegoers reported that the moviegoers in Cinema Hall 10 told them not to watch the film that was shown in that movie hall, as they ran into their cars with their crying children. The co-manager turned off his TV and concluded the story. He said that, after the incident, no one was going into Cinema Hall 10, even when it showed the original, non-hacked version of Despicable Me. One of the parents even tried suing AMC, but the case was settled, with the court finding in favor of AMC, and the company issued a public apology on its official Twitter and Facebook account. The cinema I was working in was forced to close the Cinema Hall due to low attendance, and also to prevent future incidents from happening again. I left the office and that's it. The next day, I felt prepared to go into that Cinema Hall and clean it. I was just cleaning Cinema Hall 2, where it was showing the Sorcerer's Apprentice. I made sure no one was around and unlocked the door via the key I had in my pocket. When the door opened, there was so much dust in the air that I coughed a bit. I opened my flashlight and sure enough, it was empty. I could see leftover popcorn and soda stains all over the floor and chairs. There were even popcorn and soda cups on the chairs. I looked onto one of the soda cups in one of the chairs and I almost begged and vomited. The cup was filled with soda, but on top of it, was some disgusting mold and I swore I saw a plant growing on it. I looked at the popcorn and it was mushy, so mushy that it actually began to meld onto one of the seats. I decided to clean the Cinema Hall, but it was so dark I had to hold my flashlight in my mouth to clean the seats. As I was cleaning, I heard the door slowly open and I ducked behind the seats to make sure no one knows I was trespassing in this hall. The figure then left the hall, as I stood up from my hiding spot. Then I went to the projector room of Cinema Hall 10. As I went up there, I found something horrifying. It was a body of someone. The body wasn't recognizable, and when I shined my flashlight onto the person in question, I noticed it was the local AMC projector guy. Then, I heard someone's voice say, Hey, what are you doing here? Then, I turned around and saw someone, holding a knife. Horrified, I ran towards the door, which was opened a crack and left in a hurry. I locked the door of Cinema Hall 10, and never told anyone about my experience. I didn't know if that was the hacker from 10 years ago or was it a deranged psycho. I guess I'll never know. If you ever find this Cinema Hall in the Californian branch of AMC, do not go in there. Seriously. I am begging you.
