Hey y'all, it's Timmy. And today, this recipe is in our third cookbook and you're gonna wanna try this one. It's that delicious strawberry cake. You remember that has the gelatin in it and it also has strawberries. Okay, the recipe calls for room temperature eggs. So I actually put my eggs in a little bit of warm water to get them to room temperature quicker. That's a trick. You're gonna crack four eggs, crack them separate, make sure they're all good. I know mine are all good because I buy eggs really frequently. But sometimes it's better to be safe than sorry. When you're using a cake mix to make one of these, what I call cake mix creations, it's best to put your liquids in first and then put your dry ingredients on top of that. That way, you don't have to scrape the bowl. So we're gonna add our eggs, half a cup of water, 3 quarter cups of oil. That's just cooking oil, vegetable oil is what I used. This is a three ounce strawberry jello package. Now we're gonna be adding sliced strawberries. The sugar is added already. They said the grocery store, it's a 16 ounce container. Now in the cake mix, you'll be using the strawberries just as they are out of the container, a heaping half cup into your cake batter. And then you're gonna reserve the rest of them for the icing. Now we're going to add a white cake mix.  Smells delicious y'all and it's ready to pour into the pan. Now a lot of people make the mistake and they don't strain their strawberries before they make their frosting. And so you wanna make sure and get most of the water out of them or your frosting is gonna be really runny. So you're gonna take the rest of these strawberries and drain them and then you're gonna strain them as good as you can.  So make sure that you don't just strain it, you strain it. That strawberry's got a little bit of a leaf on it, I need to just do a really good job of pressing it into the sides of the strainer and getting the majority of the juice off of it. And make sure you flip it over and do it several times. Now, that will make some delicious strawberry icing. That's really all you need. You don't have to have a lot. Whatever's left in your strawberry container. All right, we're gonna spray our 13 by 9 each cake pan, quarter sheet, whichever one you wanna call it. That's right, spray it good. Gonna get our cake batter in here and get it in the oven. You can see those strawberry pieces going in. All right, we're gonna bake this until it's good and done. I'm gonna bake it at 350 degrees for at least 35 to 40 minutes. And you're gonna make sure that it's done in the middle before you take it out, which means the middle needs to rise too. Make sure you cook it until it's raised in the middle. Looks delicious, smells so good. Now you're gonna wanna cool this cake all the way before you ice it. So don't put on ice in it for at least a few hours after it comes out of the oven. All right, for the strawberry frosting, we're gonna start with a stick of room temperature butter and get it in the mixer. And you're gonna add about a pound of powdered sugar. Let's go ahead and turn this on. Make it delicious. This is the best cake ever. Now you can use this icing recipe on my Godson cake as well. If you want it to be richer. Now, see, the icing turns out nice and really nice consistency. As long as you strain those strawberries, make sure you strain them. If you don't, it's gonna be a runny mess. And so I do tell you that in my cookbook. And you might wanna give it a taste and make sure it's delicious. You can add a dash of salt to it if you'd like, but now I use salted butter. Ice a cake. It only makes a little bit of icing if you're gonna want to use this icing to icing layer cake. You're gonna have to double it. The recipe is perfect for this sheet cake. And with this strawberry cake, you just ice it in the pan. You can't make a better strawberry cake than this. They're so good. So good. Thanks for watching Colored Valley Cooks, where we cook a lot mama did. Bye, I love ya.


Hi, this is Christian. So in this video, we're going to create an algorithm to perform what's called an in-place operation. So an in-place algorithm is a mechanism or a technique that allows you to transform or change the data without adding or incurring any additional extra memory spaces. Let's go ahead and create a class, a Java class. We'll call it a Christian, and then the name of the class would be in place as I was the project demo. OK. OK, so first, let's go ahead and create the main method. I also want to create a function just to print information here. So we'll call it the static void print. I'll be using an array of just a single array, obj here, and we will print it out. So basically, for every object of n, obj, I'm going to print it out. It was shortcut SLUT, or you just use the print, the n, and then we'll put a white space after that as well. And then, yeah, that should be fine. And I also want to print a carriage return. OK, so that'll be the print function. I'm going to say just hide that for now. So first one, I'm going to do a, this is, I guess, I will call it in place using attempt, attempt variable. So just do a very simple swap. So first, let's create an integer list. I'm using the object down here for printing. So I'm going to create an integer using this integer class as opposed to the primitive type. We'll just call it n, and we'll just set some numbers here, like 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, but be fine. Just find the numbers. But you just imagine it's like a million in there, OK? So we're going to print it out first, print the n, the before, and print the after. So we know the before and after was a look like. OK, so this is the algorithm here. First, I'm going to loop through this entire list. The idea is that you're going to move right 5, 50 to the front, 10 to the back, and vice versa. So basically, as you move along here, you're going to not going to do all the way to the end. Basically, as you swap them, when you reach the midpoint, you can stop. So you don't have to do the rest of that. That's not necessary. That's when you are done. So we're going to do something like for every n i, this is the index position. When i is less than the midpoint of this length. All right, so in the length, then divided by 2, OK? When we reach the midpoint, we're done. All right, plus plus. And we just basically swap them out, right? So we create it in 10 first. This is the 10, which takes out just a very tiny space of memory, so it's not a big deal. So the space complexity here just, you know, it costs them really small. We'll replace that with the end of the i position, OK? And then we swap the i position, which is, if it's the first one, we're swapping this lot with the number from the end, OK? So you do n of the n-th length minus 1. And they also want to do it minus j. I mean, not j i, right? So that as we move along, as you move this one here, we're going to swap with this. If I move the next one, you're going to swap with this. So basically the length of this minus the i, so both sides will be moving all together, OK? Using this approach here. So that's what this minus 1 minus i here, OK? We swap that one. And then finally, we're going to swap the last position, which is n of length minus 1 minus i equal to the 10. So this is the classic swapping those numbers, OK? So I think that's pretty much it for this one. So let's see what's going on. Let's save it and run from here. And hopefully it works. It's going to take a while. So you can see down here, it's printing nicely. I'm going to move this to the right side so that it's top right top, OK? So here it is right here. If you change the size to A4, it should also work. And it run. I don't know if they're not. OK, so there it is. All right, so that is about it. So you can see here, we're doing it almost to get in place, almost 100%, but it's not. But in this case, this is a very tiny number, so it's not going to be a big deal, OK? So in the next video, we'll do a different operation. Similar one, but using a different technique. Thank you.


okay so I'm trying out this jacket it's not my size right but this is amazing this air-conditioned, there are fans growing in here I'm walking on in sweaty Hong Kong oh my god this is special this is the air-conditioned jacket it's this air out the jacket here it's coming out slightly here if it's not tight enough it could leak and nobody it feels all cool all right let's do the interview hey so what is your company name Vin Mori Shenzhen Vin Mori so this is an air-conditioned jacket yes yes we specialize in fan cooling apparel and heating apparel product development and manufacturing so are you the first company to do this other company already do it no the history for this kind of product has been like 10 years or over 10 years so we just leading the technology but we are not inventors how are you leading the technology you make a design to allow the air to circulate around the jacket all over the air is going through and staying inside yes we have different models to fit different needs for different market like you can see this is our one of our models and it's super high strong wing and the voltage can go up to 20 volts we have 5 volt 7 volt 12 volt 20 volt and the higher voltage it is the strong wing it is and you can see here here is our pattern design to adjust the fan tunnel and you can see like you push here and this will be a u-tunnel here so you can feel the wing to make you feel cooler this is our pattern design and we have different companies way so how do you can just switch it off like this also yes you can switch off and we will not then it doesn't leak out and and you can see this brass we have different matches with this is the fan tunnels to keep the air to make the air to flow out so you will increase the efficiencies of the fan flow how in this way so here we have the net here so the the wind can can blow here so you will feel cool on your neck so just if you open it a little bit it will go in your neck if you close it it stay down it will if we will be we guide up we guide a wing to flow here so to make it to flow over your your neck so you will feel cooler in your this aerodynamics it's rocket science yeah it's a excuse me it's very it's very advanced where is so you just put a barbank in the bucket yes and how long is it will last with this part of it depends on the capacity what is this power bank 10,000 mAh this is 20,000 mAh and it will last over 10 hours 10 over 10 hours but it depending on the temperature you you adjust we have high high level medium level and low level and you can adjust the wind according to your need so the highest temperature the highest level of wind it will last over 10 hours and if the lowest it will last over 20 hours is it very important for some people to have this otherwise they have a big problems oh sure it's important for like yeah yeah this kind of fan cooling apparel is mostly designed for those work wear and outdoors and use it as tea because they need to stay outside and if the temperature goes too high they will be his job so the fan cooling systems they mostly blow blow the air inside your body and evaporate just the way to lower your temperature to keep you from his job and people feel much more comfortable yeah sure like let's say they work outside in Dubai or in Qatar yeah sure and those countries very hot yes and they work during the day it's very hard but if they wear this different experience yes we have many customized from Mickey's turns and they asked us to customize the fan cooling systems for them and because you know the wind even the wind is hot but they will evaporate your sweat so you will you know evaporation will lower your temperature by two or three degrees Celsius so you don't have you will not have the problem of his joke and you can even feel a little bit wing so the temperature of your body is not so high so it will improve the the health conditions of the workers if you just for me for one second with that yeah just hold like it's not closed mine right it's the wrong size and but I instantly when I wear it I just feel I was my back was all sweaty and stuff it become totally cool immediately it's like you know it's like you're in a regular Hong Kong hotel it's like you're in Sheraton you're like in a great hotel five-star you get like the experience of a what's it called yeah air condition in a very hot climate here it's very hot in Shenzhen you from Shenzhen right Shenzhen Hong Kong very hot yeah and the most important things that that's why I say this kind of product is mostly designed for those work workwear or for those outdoors and since I see because when they stay outside they will get the wet and you know the wind will evaporate the sweat and evaporation will lower the temperature that's the most important thing but so the best experience is to close but right now my jacket is not closed yeah could you make it work on your jacket you know your jacket now is not closed yeah why don't you put this technology inside your jacket because we require different materials this material is polyester and it will keep the wing inside the jacket but with this kind of materials it's not so thin for summer first of all it's not so thin second of all the wing will escape so you can keep the air inside your body it will use more power it will not be so efficient no is there way you can find the solution and make it work somehow even though it's not as efficient as closing yourself in like a balloon that's of course the most efficient one okay maybe you can have a basic version for the business guy okay just want to have some cooling in the back okay sure we have some you need to find it yeah you have a lot of technology clothes around here this one is in the back there's just a hole yes we have this because the fan is you can install the fan so you can uninstall the fan so this is you can easily screw it oh that's hole for the fan yes you can easily screw it and you can put it and screw it in so it will be easy for installation so there's what three holes in there yeah this model this model have three holes but the one three fans yes you can put as many fans as you my jacket has two right now yeah your jacket has two but the most important thing is not about the fan because we have many different models with different technologies we have the highest wing level technology we are now the leading manufacturer in the market we introducing the most highest stroke the strongest wing in the market and we can do it with this the thickness this is the the thinnest thinnest one thinnest model you can find in the market nice maybe it can you feel that's really you can compare the thing the thinnest made in Shenzhen at your factory your factory make it yes in Shenzhen yeah efficient yes and very high cooling this is low noise one low noise school models and with these models the wing blow on the sides but not directly to your muscles because you know when when we are to when when the wing is blowing directly to your muscles and you get so wet there is the risk that you will get your muscle injured but in this in this model we designed the wing to be flow over the on the side so it will not flow directly to your muscle so it keep you from muscle injury this is more expensive fan and it depends depends it depends on what what do you define expensive and sometimes when I put in my video the price I can get millions view do you want to say a good price for this or people have to contact you for the price around if they big order 1k pieces or something do you have a price for this or we have a price range because different materials and different deepers different fan systems the price is totally different so we have a price range covers from $20 to $55 it depends because we have different power band different fan systems different materials different deeper so it's totally different so cool all right and this is just the first product so when I walk in I see Jen's bond here with the heat so of course you do the heating also you do the cooling and the heating what is the heating technology you do yes the heated technology they usually equip with a heated systems that allows you to adjust your temperature and it will heat up to 65 degrees Celsius within five minutes and with a power band of 10 camera ampere the the battery life will last for six to 13 hours amazing right so we have been specializing in heating apparel for over 10 years and would provide tip-to-toe heating collections including like heated hat, heated scarf, heated gloves, heated vest, heated jacket, heated pants, heated socks, heated everything shoes yes yes there's a heating in those yes yes this is the batteries and you can put on the put the battery here and you can turn the the module the button on and where does it heat the heat is over the show on the down there yes and this is the gloves we provide many we provide different styles of the heated gloves for motorcycling, for climbing, for skiing or for work wear. Is this makes good price for those gloves? Yes it depends on your requirement it depends on your requirement we we provide different price range for different market if for motorcycling the requirement will be very straight because they use for more high standard installations more high standard material more high standard protection this is carbon fiber protective case so the price will be a little bit higher but if you are seeking for some just to ski a little bit some reasonable price that this this one would be much more pop much more suitable so this is a this is heating where's the heater the heater is inside the gloves which side top over the side so this is I need to tell you the difference between we and other manufacturers so basically most manufacturers in the market they only heat by this side the back of the hand but if you heat this you are in this way you will have the problem when you are doing sports in the high high speed wing or you are riding a motorcycling you know the temperature over your finger they will go disappear so disappear yeah when we are riding riding the bicycle or skiing in high high speed wing you know the temperature we escape because the high speed wing if you could if you could your hand only on the back but we are the first one to introduce our CG as heating systems the CG has as heating systems we use the circle up heat systems to cross over your fingers and it's 250% battery battery life work is then we have different capacity of the batteries we have two thousand mile amperes three thousand mile ampere and five thousand mile ampere and they are portable they are thin and they are very soft and this I would like to introduce the difference of the GCS systems compared with other manufacturers so with the GCS systems on each finger yes you you have the heated wine over your fingers so when you are doing sports or you are riding a motor bicycle you will close up your hand so the heated element will be closed up so the temperature will not escape so with these KT systems the temperature will improve by 60% nobody else can do this they just follow or they try just copy by your product and they try to copy but yeah yeah we are two years yes we are the first one to lead the market but we are not afraid of copying because we have the most industry leading technology we have the most skilled engineer we have the most experienced manufacturing quality yes we have the good quality and we have the even good price yes so there's no need to copy because how they will make money they will lose if they match your quality yes but it depends but there are some manufacturers they will try to make it small like making the heat systems smaller made the battery smaller to load the price so it depends on I think the price is only a match if it matches your target audience if you buy it from a copycat maybe your hand will explode yeah maybe you don't want to see it so what is the price range can go for these kind of gloves you want to see the gloves it covers from $25 to $45 for $55 it's fully customization for how many pieces for the MLQ is normally to $2,000 and that's $25 for both gloves not for each I'm joking yeah for pairs of gloves how about this electric scarf yeah this is the heated scarf is that very popular or is new idea it's a new idea but we are introducing these new models for some international big brand so it goes there's a heater in the in the scarf where's the heating uh-huh you can see the heated pass here the heated passes inside sewing inside here and we can customize the heated systems like you won't like you like it to cross over your neck or you can even expand the heated systems to be on your back and it's really a big difference oh yeah the people who wear this they're like oh my god yes yes and we have we can make it a dual design so you can make it a multifunctional heated gear like excuse me like when I put it this way it is a heated scarf but when I put it this way it is a heated belt wow yeah depends how the size of the woman yeah but we can have the adjustable design because we have 20 years of because government let me try it's not my size but you also do my size you do every size for sure sure sure we can cut all the size yes x x whatever L and yeah yes we have size when it comes to the size we have doing we have making every effort to push the boundaries of the government making so this is the one of our designs to adjust the size to make it more fit so our vendors they don't need to have so many stocks you know there are too many size from asml etc so they can they need to buy and they need to arrange the SKU but in this way because the size is adjustable so you don't need to buy so many stocks so you can just buy asmm they miss in the one size and L is that L they missing they are two in two size in one so for example in USA there's many elderly people yeah sometimes a little bit big bigger people yeah they live in Las Vegas or Florida or in Arizona yeah all these place yeah they always want to be in air condition they always want to look for air condition so maybe this is good market for them I'm not sure if they want air condition but I'm sure they won't hit it because for the elder people the heated the heated apparel they have the function not only to keep your body warm but they also provide heat therapy you know when you when you when you use the carbon fiber the carbon fiber can generate falling fair heat and the falling fair heat will help to improve the your your health conditions help to boost your blood circulate help to relieve your muscle pains especially for the elder people when the weather gets bad they will get panned everywhere so the heated get will help them to do the heat therapy but the cooling I think it's also very important like for example in France there was some heat waves a few years ago and many many older people even died because they get too hot oh they got dehydrated and this could save the lives yeah I think this one may be the new trend for considering the energy crisis because you know our cooling and heating systems they only need the very portable power bands like 10 watt 12 12 watt or 20 watt and it's a very eco-friendly and very energy saving so in this way maybe I agree with you for the for those workers who are outside they need the cooling to prevent them from from his show yeah it's especially you know in Europe they are not so many yeah they don't need AC but now the heat wave coming so yeah the millions of those so how many products you sell every month are you big factory or a big factory or how big is your factory yes our factory we have 200 stops in our factories and we sales over 10 over 10,000 I'm sorry I need to calculate from 10,000 no no no 10k thousand 10k 10k thousand per month 10 million pieces per month 10k like 10 million one million one million is one one K 1000 is one million 10k one 100k 100k so 100 million 100,000 pieces yeah 100,000 pieces okay it's quite a lot yes but you can do much more what if somebody say this is in our peak season but in the lower season the quality may not be that much is it possible to buy a cooler and a heater and give it as a gift to somebody so they have the whole year covered and you should be a package you may integrate yeah you may integrate in the same product two different product okay you give as a gift I want to give as a gift oh sure sure with the heating to yeah one bag with both yes we have cooperated with some with some clients in Belgium they use our they use our heaters who as the as a gift for those humlees we cooperate with them to donate those heaters for those humlees so I think your idea is a great idea to combine the heating and cooling together as a promotion and gift for clients you guys actually it's good for health yeah they're not gonna get here's Joe they're not gonna get there's no chance to get too hot or too cold yes yes there's no chance with your heater that you will get something bad yeah yeah it will not happen yes and more importantly is eco-friendly is power saving you know in the recent recently the energy crisis in Europe the the energy price is skyrocketing so this weight of heated gear or cooling gear will provide you a very passive active way to get cooling or get heated so comparing with the AC or with a heater electric heater the electricity bill will be extremely high but you only need a tank well so here for example the air condition is only around the body instead of doing air condition in the whole house it's a huge difference yeah right the whole house is a hundred times bigger than the jacket but you are you're only staying where you are you are not staying everywhere in your big house so yeah this is quite a good way to help you to save the energy and actually we also have heated sleeping bag give me one for example you can see our heated sleeping bag so you can sleep outside especially for those homeless people they don't have air conditions in the shelter so the heating or air conditioning sleeping bag yes you would like me to show you that's amazing yeah I want to see it okay because some people live in a van yeah yeah this is going very hot this is a special design for the van. It's a big problem to keep cool. Cool, yeah. They probably have a shade bag. What's the price for the cooling sleeping bag? It also depends from 25 dollars to 45 dollars you know because our our product is not a standard product so we do many customizations we do. Oh wow. Okay he will prepare the sleeping bag. Cool. Is it possible to add maybe is that a good idea to add solar panels on the back? Oh yeah. Solar charge the battery. Is that gonna work or it's not gonna give enough power? We have been developing our systems with our clients we are trying to integrate the technology in our system but there is another problem that you will be a little bit bulky. Heavy? It adds some weight and you become bigger but they can double as a bullet bullet best yes yes yeah sure but so this little solar panel if you go in the sun is it gonna be enough to power the whole power bank? It's not it's not gonna enough but you need times to you need the batteries to to to storage the energy. Maybe 10, 20%, 30%? Yes yes yes yes that's some problem. Yeah cool okay okay thank you very much for showing everything. Okay you will like to try our sleeping bag? Yeah I think you're interested. Oh you will see it now you're building it up. Cool. Yeah easy installation. This is battery designed for the vans and we cooperate with Japanese one of the most famous youtuber in Japanese. He specialized in van touring. Wow you did a video about it? Yeah. Many people watch it? Yes sure of course. That's cool. All right. You would like to try the heating? Yeah no thanks a lot I think I was very happy to to do this interview for 25 minutes. Okay now my back I'm feel all good I'm not warm anymore. All right so here you have this is a crazy. So here you put some salt water and it could be urine to this level here and then boom it'll work for 200 hours of the the light and how much you sell this for? Like five dollars to six dollars depending on the bag. How many pieces? Two K. Two thousand? Yes two K. Yes you can only add a small bag of salt inside so you can add the salt from your house and you add some water to this level so it will any water any any salt? Any salt water yes but urine urine is also okay this is urine already has salt? Uh yes urine have some special uh some have some special element exactly the same yes yes but the light will not be as light as this one it's for emergency use when you need to use your urine okay that's emergency use so yes okay but otherwise seawater is a good seawater yes of course it's there and if you put seawater it will work in full power yes or is the power right now is because there's a lot of salt inside you add a lot of salt because of the salt and they will have some some chemical fine in some chemical actions in size to connect with this to have this to have the energy is this a this is some aluminum and some other chemical element to have some chemical actions with the seawater so they will have they will generate some small electricity to power the light so uh so the future of battery just piss yeah i hope so but this is only for some small electricity but if you want it to be too high maybe you need a whole sea to power but i can't just piss in my Tesla right it's not gonna work you can buy a whole sea the whole sea to power the light for you for your whole sea so a lot of countries have problem with energy yeah they have a lot of seawater yes yeah this is perfect for them yeah this is quite a way to discuss in the future so you need to send somebody need to sponsor one million pieces of this to send to some country in Africa and somewhere million yes yes they will have no more problem with light yeah yeah yeah there will be a good way is already happening or is brand new this is happening how long time you have this on market we have developed these these products to the market for over one years and now it's very popular and crazy in japan because you know you know the japan they have many earthquake they so they need emergency products to to in case if the earthquake happens they can have this one to help them to be found in the earthquake so here it says add salt and water shake well or directly put the seawater if you put seawater you should add salt also no no no that's enough salt inside but if you do urine you should probably add a little bit salt no no no no need also yes and then it says at least 140 hours and up to 200 hours of intermittent use but when when you don't use it it can pull out the water and the the life lifespan will stop so so it will not continue running out the lifespan of the of this one maybe it should charge a battery you know when you don't use it it charge a little better no no no not possible the power is not enough to charge a battery not enough yes but it's enough for light but in the future we we are going to discuss the way to make it happen all right because maybe you could use it as a little salt power bank okay yes cool okay this is the fan cooling this is the air conditioning sleeping bag how do you go inside we have the jippers so you unzip the jippers and you go in but you have to ah you you go all the way in yes oh you will go in wow so you will go all the way in yes and you can unzip the jippers oh my god we have a t-shaped design here and this is the window we mesh to prevent you from mosquitoes but from outside you can also see the sky you can enjoy the view that's amazing yes from here and from inside we have from inside we have the adjustable design okay no problem we have the adjustable design inside to to adjust the the the wing tunnel so the wing will be more centralized gear so you will feel more cooler on your face or on your neck so it's it's quite perfect for the van tour or for those homeless they don't have the conditions to live in the air conditions so they don't have enough electricity for the for the fans or for the ac it's very comfortable to sleep in there uh i i would suggest you to try yeah yes it's very comfortable because the wing they the wing blow over your body then they will have to evaporate when you get so wet so in in summer i prefer to stay in this sleeping bag compared with the ac i wish i had it yesterday i was sleeping in a trunking mansion it was very i'm sorry we don't have your size i'm afraid yeah you need a double yeah we need a double size is it your invention yes this is one uh we cooperate with one of the most famous japanese youtuber and we cooperate with him to bring this product to the market and it's crazy in japan can you watch movies inside uh yes you can uh you can you can do everything yeah yeah yeah as you like and in the morning you will be fine you will not stay in the bag when you wake up hope so all right and a small power bank like this this model it will last for 10 hours so you sleep all night in the sleeping bag it's totally okay okay that's amazing yeah how much uh around maybe like 25 dollars uh 30 dollars 35 thousand two thousand pieces right yes the the price is always depending on what kind of material then what kind of fan cooling systems you use but if you are seeking for a promotional gift we can use more lower quality material low quality difference lower quality fan cooling systems are still a good function to lower the price for you so we are factories we can provide uh fully customized for oem and odm so the price is always depending on your requirement and it can be a little bit quiet not so not so emokey the emokey is normally one k sound it doesn't have to be so loud i hear it there right at the end also when you wake up in the morning you smell better you maybe because you know we have many fan models and we have the models we uh the the other the otherization so you can help you to all the bad smells go out uh we we have some functions to make here so you can it will we have some uh good smell plate inside so the airflow inside will be good smell and if i have wife she can sleep with me inside uh you need a you need a king size you will have uh sure we can customize that for you if you need it oh my god we can we can have a family size you can say with your whole family inside actually we are inventing the the cooling tent we are now under developing for the cooling tent you know the tent so what would be cool is um uh a convertible van you have an amazing little van you drive around you find a nice parking space you open the door yeah push one button and boom there's a big tent outside yes and air condition yes yes yes we are working on that way to make it to make the space much more bigger for more people to keep inside but now we are working on the noise because you if you want the fan to be bigger to be stronger the the the noise will be a little bit lower so we are putting so much effort in this area to load the noise so we can develop this technology to the market are you finding solution for this and not yet but we are on the way is it possible to put the fan on the back of the van uh-huh you put the fan on the other side of the car and then maybe you will hear it less you don't put it in the front yeah that would be a way to uh resolve this issue it will only like disturb the zebras and elephants but yourself you will feel fine if the the sound goes away from you yeah would you like to find a job as our product developer yeah i'm ready i'm ready where do i sign yeah you

The capitalist system that we all have grown up in is one that puts itself forward as being natural, inevitable, healthy, useful. So that Adam Smith's hidden hand that supposedly allows for everybody's greed to somehow combine into the common good has had for many people's lives a very, very different actual effect. We're again locked into situations where privileged people with access to education, access to other things will tell you is there virtuous utilization of these things they have access to that have elevated them to where they are and that other people could do the very same thing and to the extent that they're not, this really shows us something's wrong with them. But we can eke out a little charity to them to make sure that they're okay or maybe give them some basic income but trying to solve at a level of consumption a problem that was created at the level of production by people not having the opportunity to be fully productive and we try to change that by giving them the tokens of consumption so that they can stay alive and that's insufficient and that won't change the world. In order to do better than we're doing now we have to develop an analytical framework for understanding how the situation that we're in became what it is and what a path out of it is. So economic democracy would be that the people themselves would be the determiners of the economies in their communities so that we create good jobs. We create opportunities for young people to learn and prepare for the future. We create the housing that we need of the quality that we wanted to live in it. We try to make sure that kind of speculative activity and land and housing doesn't damage our ability to continue to live in the neighborhoods that we have grown up and been a part of. So these are the kinds of things that economic democracy would afford an opportunity for people to themselves be a part of constructing the solutions the creative solutions that need to be created.


Hello, I'm Jeannie, and I'm a master's candidate in the Department of Information Studies. Six years ago, I taught second grade at a K-12 Academy in Wuhan, China, and visited a rural village called Tianxiangping, or literally, Village Above the Sky. Because the kids had no English background, I had to do something different. One morning, I drew the letters of the alphabet on the chalkboard. Inspired, I decided to turn each of them into little animals. The kids were so excited, they shouted out at the animals' names, practiced the sounds of each letter, and I taught them nursery rhymes from my childhood. Teaching this lesson challenged my worldview and taught me that everyone has a different starting point.


Welcome to George H. Smith's Excursions into Libertarian Thought, a production of Libertarianism.org and the Cato Institute. John Locke, Money and Private Property In previous essays, I discussed John Locke's claim that labor is the moral foundation of property rights. It must be understood that his labor theory of property differs from a labor theory of value in an economic sense. Although Locke posited labor as the moral foundation of property, he did not believe that the quantity of labor needed to produce a commodity ultimately determines its market price. On the contrary, the price of labor is determined by the relative scarcity of labor, its supply relative to demand in a given market, as Karen Von noted in John Locke, Economist and Social Scientist. Obviously, since Locke describes the value of labor being determined by the market price, rather than showing price as being somehow determined by the quantity of labor which goes into a product, he was far from describing a labor theory of value in either a classical or a Marxian sense. Von's book is a superb account of Locke's theory of economics. It corrects a number of common misconceptions about Locke, such as the erroneous claim that he was an orthodox mercantilist. Von also argued that Locke's theory of capital is more closely related to the later Austrian school than to either the classical or neoclassical economists. When Locke argued that labor puts the difference of value on everything, that it increases the intrinsic value of natural resources, he meant that labor vastly increases their usefulness to the life of man. Here, Locke implicitly evoked a standard distinction in early economic thought, which goes back at least to Aristotle, between value in use and value in exchange. According to this misleading distinction, it is value in exchange not value in use that ultimately regulates market prices. Land that has been cultivated by human labor will yield far more produce that is useful to human beings than will uncultivated land. Locke gave a lowball estimate of 10 times more productivity with cultivated land, but he speculated that the increase will actually be a hundred or even a thousand times greater. This observation was an important part of Locke's explanation of why his proviso, according to which the private appropriation of land is justifiable only when there is enough and as good left in common with others, is not, in fact, a serious problem for his labor theory of private property, most notably in land. For one thing, the amount of land any individual can cultivate is quite limited. The measure of property nature has well set by the extent of man's labor and the convenience of life. No man's labor could subdue or appropriate all, nor could his enjoyment consume more than a small part, so that it was impossible for any man this way to entrench upon the right of another or to acquire to himself a property to the prejudice of his neighbor who would still have room for as good and as large a possession after the other had taken out his as before it was appropriated. This measure did confine every man's possession to a very moderate proportion. Locke believed that the world's population in his day could easily double and still leave plenty of unowned common land for others to use and appropriate as private property. But to focus entirely on the availability of unowned land is to overlook the enormous increase of productivity brought about by labor. The private cultivator of land, far from decreasing the amount of goods available to others, in fact increases those goods many times over. Land itself is of very little value without labor and he who applies his labor to land does not lessen but increases the common stock of mankind. Locke maintained that land, like every other economic good, is valued only because of its usefulness or utility to man. Land is useful insofar as it enables us to sustain ourselves and to achieve our well-being. Thus, the private owner and cultivator of land, by vastly increasing the amount of useful commodities that uncultivated land would otherwise yield, greatly improves the condition of mankind generally. Private property in land and other natural resources benefits everyone. Next in line is Locke's discussion of money, precious metals, and how it counteracted his spoilage limitation, which I discussed in my last essay. The spoilage limitation does not limit the amount of property one may justly acquire. It merely prohibits claims of ownership to perishable goods that will spoil while in one's possession. The exceeding of the bounds of his just property, not lying in the largeness of his property, but in the perishing of anything uselessly in it, one may therefore expand one's stock of private property exchanging perishable goods that one cannot use for useful goods, for barter is a type of use, or one may exchange perishable goods for durable goods that will not spoil, such as precious metals. Here is how Locke explained the matter. Now of those good things which nature hath provided in common, everyone had a right to as much as he could use and had a property in all he could affect with his labor, all that his labor could extend to, to alter from the state nature had put it in, was his. He that gathered a hundred bushels of acorns or apples had thereby a property in them. They were his goods as soon as he gathered. He was only to look that he used them before they spoiled, else he took more than his share and robbed others. And indeed, it was a foolish thing, as well as dishonest, to hoard up more than he could make use of. And if he also bartered away plums that would have rotted in a week, for nuts that would last good for his eating a whole year, he did no injury. He wasted not the common stock, destroyed no part of the portion of goods that belonged to others, so long as nothing perished uselessly in his hands. Again, if he would give his nuts for a piece of metal, pleased with its color, or exchange his sheep for shells, or wool for a sparkling pebble or a diamond, and keep those by him all his life, he invaded not the right of others. He might heap up as much of these durable things as he pleased. According to Locke, as precious metals were widely accepted as money, it became possible to accumulate potentially unlimited amounts of property without violating the spoilage limitation. This development was especially important to the ownership of land. Before the advent of money, people were little inclined to expand their landed property, for there were only so many natural resources they could use for the benefit of themselves and their families. But things changed dramatically when excess land and its products could be sold for money, a durable form of wealth that does not violate the spoilage limitation. Money brought with it extensive commerce, and this commerce in turn, by increasing both the diversity and demand for commodities, greatly enhanced the wealth of nations. In my last essay, I suggested that Locke posited these two qualifications to property rights primarily for the purpose of demonstrating their inapplicability to his own labor theory of property. I shall now recapitulate his reasoning. First, the proviso that property claims should leave enough for others to use is not a serious problem, because the amount of property that any individual can use and may claim by mixing his labor with it is very limited. Moreover, the private cultivator of land actually increases the amount of goods that others may use for their benefit. Second, the spoilage limitation applies only to perishable goods. It does not apply to durable goods such as precious metals, and it does not limit the amount of property one may own. Therefore, when the emergence of money made it possible to sell excess land, i.e. land not needed to satisfy one's own wants, land on which crops might otherwise rot, it also legitimated the ownership of land and other resources beyond that needed for personal use. Thus arose the accumulation of capital and Locke's opposition to illegal limits on interest rates, important elements in Locke's economic thinking that I cannot discuss here, but which are explained in Karen Von's book cited above. One final note. It is clear that Locke believed that an economic system based on property rights did exist, and therefore could exist in a state of nature, long before the emergence of governments, whose only justification was to render those rights more secure. And this entails a high degree of social order in Locke's anarchistic state of nature that was impossible in the state of nature described by Thomas Hobbes, a perpetual war of every man against every man in which property rights and other civilizing institutions could not emerge. Locke's relatively optimistic view of the state of nature would later generate its own brand of anarchism. Given that society without government was not regarded as synonymous with social chaos in the Lockean tradition, and that government was deemed necessary only to remedy certain inconveniences in the state of nature in regard to the security of property rights already established, it became plausible to speculate on how those inconveniences might be dealt with satisfactorily in a competitive market system without a monopolistic government. What was unthinkable for Hobbes and other absolutists became thinkable in the treatment of John Locke.

This elevator pitch will discuss how ours being used to improve the processes at the Public Health Agency of Canada during the COVID-19 pandemic. To effectively manage public health needs at the federal level during this pandemic, the agency needs to be meticulous from a surveillance and reporting standpoint. Surveillance needs to be performed to gather the data points required to produce analytics and reporting needs to be done to aggregate and disseminate the analytics that were produced. This is vital for policy makers to make informed and timely decisions. The Public Health Agency of Canada's stakeholders include the Privy Council, the Chief Public Health Officer, the media, as well as the general public. To meet the needs of around-the-clock surveillance and timely reporting, the Emergency Centre at FAC was activated and various roles were created and staffed using employees from across the agency on a rotation basis. These employees came with various skill sets and most of the processes were initially created using SAS and Excel. These tools required a lot of knowledge transfer, manual labour, and became less effective as data sources increased in number, data sets increased in size. The following slides will outline a few of these inefficiencies. Firstly, the source files for various metrics were large Excel files stored on a network drive. Using SAS, these files took long periods to open and access. In addition, access was often limited due to the fact that SAS would not be able to open these files if another user had them open. Given the time-sensitive nature of reporting needs, this often posed an issue. Large portions of reporting had to be done manually to produce the necessary graphics. Numerous SAS files had to be run separately. The plots that were output had to then be copied and manually placed into a deck. This required careful placement onto slides, ensuring alignments were correct not only on the slide, but across slides. This work is time-consuming and subject to human error. The numeric calculations that were generated had to also be manually input into tables. This required copying and pasting numbers into a table in a slide, then manually formatting the numbers. Formatting included commas, decimals, percentage signs, font, color, among other things. For example, an increase in case counts was manually formatted using red font to indicate a negative trend, while a decrease had to be manually formatted using green to indicate a positive trend. This had to be done for numerous jurisdictions and indicators across multiple decks. The manual nature of the task also made reporting susceptible to human error. Finally, there were issues with version control. Due to the fact that different teams were responsible for their own code, the data the agency was reporting became susceptible to inconsistencies. For example, if manual corrections needed to be made to case data retroactively, it might be applied in one deck but not in another due to communication issues and the use of different codes. The same is true for when formulas had to be updated. In addition, the poor version control made it difficult for new team members to adapt when rotating into the team. To resolve these issues, the innovation team at FAC introduced R to simplify, streamline, and make more efficient our processes. Multiple packages in R are assisted with this effort and the following slides will go through some of them. What initially required the work of multiple epidemiologists was streamlined to one user first through the introduction of R Markdown. R Markdown is a powerful reporting tool that can output tables, objects, plots, and figures into a report with fixed formatting. This is done by running source codes in chunks and using a knitting feature that runs all the source codes and produces an output. The codes that were initially being run using SAS were then rewritten in R and moved to the back end and called upon using R Markdown. This has allowed us to automate our processes that would take multiple hours of labor across several employees to the simple click of a button. Reports are currently being produced using R Markdown in PowerPoint, HTML, PDF, and DocX. Another R package that assisted our effort to improve our reporting was Google Sheets 4. To control for our access issues, the datasets that were being stored in Excel on the network drive were moved to Google Sheets, which is an open-sourced web-based application. Using the Google Sheets package in R, the data was being retrieved with increased speed and without any access issues, as data stored in Google Sheets can be accessed regardless of how many people have it open. To further reduce the burden of manual labor, the data that was being displayed in tables was now being output using the FlexTable package in R. Previously, this data had to be manually entered and formatted. With FlexTable, entire data frames were now being output into documents pre-formatted. Everything from dates, font color, number formats, and footnotes were taken care of using this package. Even dynamic headers were created to incorporate dates. R is also being used to reduce the burden of analysis and commentary. A large amount of time was being devoted nightly to going through the various metrics and analytics and summarizing the findings as well as isolating important data points. This analysis was then placed in bullet points or footnotes into the reports. This is now being automated using simple calculations and base functions like PACE0 in conjunction with R Markdown. Now, providing big picture analysis is automatically done and outliers are automatically detected. With this information, summary sheets are automatically populated. How many provinces reported their data today? Which province saw the largest increase in cases? How about deaths? How has hospitalization changed since the previous day? Packages like LuberDate also proved to be very useful. Some metrics and reporting is only done on a weekly basis. With predefined functions that have the ability to detect weeks based on a given date, producing these analytics became smooth and simple. In addition, utilizing LuberDate functions also allowed for dynamic titles, headers, and footnotes. Finally, to incorporate all the work that was done using R, a package was built for internal use. This unifies and simplifies data intake, data processing, outputs, and upkeep. Each data import, table, figure, and markdown report has been written into its own function. These functions comprise the R package which is utilized by the agency and will continue to expand as new data sources and reports are incorporated. It allows for uniformity in reporting and allows all employees to easily access and generate figures. As our efforts continue, more surveillance programs and products will be incorporated into our package and the use of R across the agency will increase.
