Three home runs allowed by Jay Hap today. What caused him to really struggle on the mat? Yeah, I thought he struggled with his secondary stuff and even his two-seam. I thought the four-seam was OK, but it didn't seem like he had much to go with it. And then, as a result, got hurt with a few long ones. Who else? Kenny. Harry, I think this is a sixth start this year, allowing four or more runs. Do you see a through line there, a pattern?  And that's what he's been good at throughout his career and when he's been good for us this year, too. So when you miss a little bit or maybe like today, you don't have some kind of secondary to keep him off balance, those fly balls can hurt you when you make mistakes with it.  But I think that's a little bit of the storyline. Dan, after a winning streak like you've just ended, is it easier to put this one on the rear of your mirror? I don't know. I hate walking in after losing, but they're really good at doing that. So one thing I don't really worry about, even when we're going through a tough stretch or like right now when we're playing really well, I feel like these guys are really good at coming out and focusing and tomorrow's a new day. And so no matter what's going on with our club, that's always something that I want to be one of our hallmarks. Tomorrow is the most important. Tyler to the right. Aaron, you've played your two series now against Houston. And I know they didn't have some of their guys this weekend. And you didn't see Cole. But do you have a good better sense now of how you match up with them? And how do you think you match up with the Astros? Is there a fellow power? I mean, I think well, they're obviously a great team. And we may, again, cross pass playing for a lot more. So anytime you're up against a team like that, you got your work cut out for you. But we certainly feel like we always feel like we match up well with other clubs. And if we're playing our best, I always love our chances. But you know, you got to bring it against these guys. Dave, back left. Aaron Verlander had had a little trouble with home runs himself this year being a fly ball pitcher. What did he do so well against you guys today? I mean, he just kind of was on. And it becomes that tough to hit. Yeah, I thought he really changed speeds well. It changes speeds with his breaking ball, different kind of sliders. He's able to flip the curve ball up there. And then obviously the 95, 96 in the bag too. So he's really good at repeating his delivery. And ultimately command in all his pitches include his secondary. So he doesn't really get too much into a pattern. And I think the different looks on the breaking ball can sometimes be a problem. Dan, how has the judge looked to you and has bat so far since he's been back? Yeah, all right. Obviously not locked in yet. But the judge is about the last guy I worry about. It's truly a matter of time. When he locks it in real good, it's going to be on base and power for days. So I feel like he's finding his timing right now. And I feel like it's a lot closer than the results probably. Dan, can you just pass it back? And then Kenny, if you don't mind, pass it on there. Thank you. Aaron, 26 games now with a home run. What's it like just every day to see somebody else leave the yard in the depth of the lineup? We got a great lineup. And a lot of guys that can hurt you. You know, it's in a lot of ways, one of the ways we're built. And I think we do a really good job, especially in this ballpark, and especially our right-handed hitters of being able to use the entire field, which, you know, when you play here, is important if you're going to hit for consistent power. And our guys, for the most part, really do that well. Anyone else? Thank you, Aaron.


Good morning, everyone. In this video, we are going to be talking about the 3D image optimization. I have no disclosures to discuss with the audience. We are going to talk a little bit on how to display and how to optimize the 3D images that are set for the Philips EPIC 7 and the GE BB9. I really recommend you to go to this web page. It's part of the University of Toronto, the PIMED site. And there, if you go to the 3DTE, you will be able to actually work on the manipulation and optimization on 3D images. The page is for free and anyone can access it anytime. So, to start with this specific presentation, the most important part in 3D echo optimization is to understand that this is going to be dependent in three main things. Spatial resolution, which is the ability of an ultrason system to distinguish between two points at a particular depth. And it's going to be dependent into the longitudinal resolution, the lateral resolution and the line density. Temporal resolution, which is dependent on the frame rate and sector size, which is going to be dependent in the size of the image. You can't have the three of them. If you get too much temporal resolution, you're going to lose a spatial resolution on sector size. If you get too much size, you're going to lose a spatial and temporal resolution. So, understanding that, we are going to start with the display and optimization in the Philips EPIC 7. So, the next step is going to be to optimize your 2D image. And for that, we are going to start setting the focus. When we set the focus, the focal point in the ultrason plane is the one that is going to provide the highest lateral resolution. We can do that by adjusting the focus knob. And then you are going to focus in the structure of interest, in this example, the mitre valve or the left ventricle. The next thing that we need to do is to set the game. When we are setting the game, optimal game settings will display blot as black and tissues of shades of gray. One way to adjust the 2D game is to set the overall game using the game knob on the control panel. The first display that we are going to show is this example, which is a left ventricle trans-castrix or axis view. You try to put the left ventricle in the middle. You are going to press the X plane function, and this is how the image is going to populate. An image on the left, which is the short axis, and the next image on the right is at 90 degrees. The next mode is the live 3D. So the live 3D acquisition produces a small size 3D volumes allowing for mid-spatial resolution and high temporal resolution, although it might be insufficient to contain an entire structure of interest. For example, a left ventricle or a right ventricle because they are too big. These modalities are often used only for 3D image tests and to guide the placement of wires. And the live 3D modes like generates a 60 degrees of lateral width and a 30 degrees of elevation width, with a height that is equivalent to the 90% of the 2D plane. The next mode is the full volume. So those are different ways of displaying a full volume display. The layout can be the three images where you can see the top images, the 3D generated image, and the two bottom images are the 2D generated image, which are called planes of references. You can choose a single picture like the example on the right where you are only going to be able to see your 3D image. So the recommendation is you start with a triple setup on the left and then from there you go to the one and then you can manipulate your image. This is an example of a full volume display, which will include the four bulbs of the heart. So you start with this image. This is a four chamber view. You are getting a 90 per 90 3D data set. And from there what we are going to do is we are going to change the layout from 3 to 1. Because we have only the 3D image in our screen, we are going to press an function, which is called reset cropping. And then in the previous image, we were only being the posterior part of the heart. So you can see the heart and then now it's going to appear the anterior two. So you're not going to be able because you're only going to be able to see the surface of the heart. But then by tracking down your trackball using the 3D rotate version, you are going to expose the heart from the closest picture to the TE probe. And then in this case, you are showing the posterior part of the heart, the anterior part of the heart, and the four bulbs, including the mitral bulb, tracaspid, pulmonic and our thick bulb. The next mode that we are going to display is the 3D zoom with two different layouts. So the first one on the left side is going to be three pictures layout, where you have the first upper image is the 3D dataset. And the ones that are below it is going to be the one on the left, the 2D plane of origin and the one on the right, the 90 degrees perpendicular plane to this image. When you have the anterior and the posterior part in this case of the mitral bulb. If you select the image that we have on the right, which is the layout with four little icons, there you're going to have exactly the same three images that we were having before, but we are adding a fourth plane. This fourth plane is a subword generated plane that is seen from the ventricone up into the atrium. And in this example, we have the mitral bulb and the aortic bulb and the anterior-aposterior relationship with the heart. If we select the 3D image, how do you want to present this 3D zoom in this example for the mitral bulb is an emphase view, where the mitral bulb is below and the aortic bulb is on top. And the other structures can be perfectly recognized. The left atrial appendix, the tracaspid bulb and the pulmonary bulb. So here you're going to differentiate the different scallops of the mitral bulb. And in the example that we are actually selecting here is a P2 prolapse that can be very well appreciated in this picture. So to be able to determine this, we are going to start with the 3D image selecting the layout of a single picture. And then here you're going to have the mitral bulb and the aortic bulb from the side. So the moment that we use the track bulb with the 3D rotate function, we bring it down. So the mitral bulb is going to be exposed. The next step is going to decrease a little bit the gain. You normally want to have a gain between 45-50% not to decrease so much the gain, because then you are going to under gain and then you're going to see holes where they don't have. Okay, and that's the image that is going to be generated with the scallops of the mitral bulb and the aortic bulb in the anterior part. So after decreasing the gain, the next step is you're going to use the rotate set clockwise function and then is when you're going to be able to position the mitral bulb in the end phase view and show this image to your surgeon. Other options when we are selecting the 3D zoom display, it's the function that we call dual volume layout. When you use that, the picture on the left is going to be seen from the e-tron. The picture in your right is going to be seen from your ventricle. So now in the next part of our talk, we are going to be talking about the 3D optimization in the epic queue, not the display now. So to optimize the 3D image again, we actually mentioned it before, you need to adjust your gain. So when you do that, the example that we are showing on the left part of the screen is how you increase your gain. So you don't want to over gain, but then you definitely want to decrease a little bit until you achieve 50 to 45%. And then you can start to see your mitral bulb. Again, you don't want to under gain too much because then you can actually start to see holes in the image that they are not there. So compression. So what is compression? Compression optimizes the ratio of lights and darks, which is like the white sun and blacks in your fiber optic would be exactly the same thing. Okay, it's normally set around like 30, and then you can go up and down and just adjust the image to get a better quality image. Another thing that we can use is what we call vision. So what is vision? It goes from A to H, and by default, we start at H. So it can be found in the secondary tactile screen. Okay, and it normally goes rotating counter-wise on the knob. Each letter has a different shades of colors to give a sense of depth. H is the most commonly used and is made of a combination of brown, which is closer to the screen, gel, white, and blue as it goes farther away from the screen. And it's a way to actually help you understand, help you actually optimize how deep you can actually percept the image. Another feature from the EPIC is the use of ChromaMap. What is the ChromaMap? So it's the intensity and combination of the color use to give us a sense of depth changes. The most commonly used is the ChromaMap 2, but you have up to seven different planes. But this is the one that most of the people cannot appreciate better. The brightness is another setting that we need to, that we can actually use in the EPIC. And for brightness, we normally start around like 40%. And you can see in this example, when we increase the brightness, you can see like better, like summer structures. But if you over-bright, it's going to be too bright for you. And in the right side of the screen is a decrease in the brightness where you can make the picture a little bit darker to appreciate better the contrast. The next feature that we can use with the EPIC is a smoothing. So for that, you need to press on the brightness knob and then you can adjust the smoothing. And it's like making like smooth the details. A higher smoothing will prevent you from appreciating fine details on the image. It goes from zero to six. So in this next part, we're going to talk about the GE BB9 and we are going to start with display and optimization. So as we did in the Philips with the GE, you first need to optimize it to the images. We are going to actually start with the focus here. And to set the focus, the first step, again, you need to actually use the focal point in the ultrasound to provide the highest lateral resolution. The focus is just normally using the focus knob. And the focal point should be actually adjusted to the depth of the structure of the image. When we are setting the game, again, you want to have an optimal tissue blow differentiation. And you can change the overall game by using the active mode and you will see the characteristics of the surface. So once you have set the focus on the structure of interest and set the game, so different modes can be displayed. The first one that we're going to be talking about is the multi-D display. This is going to be equivalent to the X-plane on the Philips. So this is a multi-dimension or multi-D mode. And simultaneously it can display like two deep lanes, which are perpendicular one to the other. And the reference place is 90 degrees to the primary plane. The second mode that we can display with the G is the bird's view display. That's an example of a right ventricle bird's view display. It produces a small size narrow 3D volume data sets that has highest fashion and temporal resolution, but it's insufficient to contain a medium or large structure. It's often used, again, equivalent to the live 3D on the Philips to test and guide the placement of wires or devices. And the default volume that is generated is 50 degrees for lateral width and 10 degrees for elevation of depth. When we change to a new mode, this is an example of the medium and large volume display. So in this mode, the reference plane shows a line cutting the left ventricle in half, where the 3D image is displayed. And then the yellow arrows will show from where we are looking at the 3D data set in the reference planes. And then if we press clear, we are going to reset the cropping and get a full image like we did with the epic. So an option that you have when you're using medium and large volume display is to use the laser lines. So here's where we can find the laser lines option. And when you do it, you have a white line, which is the reference plane in this example for the four chamber view and a green line, which is the perpendicular plane, which will be equivalent to the two chamber view. These lines cannot be moved, but it gives you an idea on where your image is positioned in 3D so you can orient yourself a little bit better. And in this example, we are exposing the four valves of the heart. Another option that G gives us with the medium and large volume is the option of rotate set. This is exactly the same option that we have with the epic. And then what you want is to use this to rotate the 3D data set parallel to the screen. So you can, for example, in this example, show the monitor valve in an face view. Another option that we can use with the medium and large volume display is the up and down function, which is located in the second page of the panel, which allows you to see the image from the bottom and from the top with only a click. Another option that we can use with the G is the 4D zoom display. This is equivalent to the 3D zoom in Philips. And the 4D zoom is used for the assessment of individual valves and the small structures. It allows to define a 3D block and orient it automatically to provide an face view of a specific structure. It's mostly used for mitral valve, aortic valve or intraartic septum, intraartial septum. You need to press the 4D zoom preparer to actually obtain that picture. And you choose the region of interest to show this picture. In this example on the left side is, without color, on the right side is with color and both of them are examples of mitral valves in the face view. So if we want to optimize the GE image, we are going to talk about different things. We are going to start to talk about 3D gain. And you can see here an example how we over game and how we actually decrease the grain progressively. And this can be used with this node show on the left side of the screen. You can use active mode, which is to highlight the characteristics of the surface and it's considered like 3D compression. And you have the active mode node to be able to do that as shown in the left side of the screen. You can use the function UD clarity, which is able to provide a better depth of perception. By default it's at 1, you can go to 0 or to 2. When you increase it to 2, it enhances the shades and gets a better sense of depth. When you decrease it to 0, it's for a smoother appearance. You can use deep and color map optimization. The deep and color map, it gives you a darker brown close to the cream and a darker blue far away to the screen to again get a better impression. There are very different colors that goes from copper blue to gray to map, as you can see in this example. Another option that G offers us is a stereo vision, but to appreciate this, you need 3D glasses and you will be able to get, like in the cinema, a really 3D image of the mitra valve, in this case. You can use smoothness for getting a better smoothing of the image. You can increase it, like we are showing here, or the crescent. There are very subtle changes. You can use gamma, which is the ratio of dark and light shades. And on the left side of the screen is where you can find the knob. And finally, you can use tissue transparency. As you see in this example, you can increase the tissue transparency, make it thinner, or you can decrease it. You don't want to decrease it too much, but you will lose the possibility of appreciator structures. This is the end of the presentation. Thank you very much for listening, and I will be happy to answer your questions.


�螣 ֆm ះ garde zះ ցm ះ zel tan ևaco փ l់  faisada ឡ ։mះ օ captain dog medieval I would like to emphasize that this event, the conference on ITs, this is going in Tbilisi and I would like to express my respect to international organizations. I would like to say that telecommunications is a very important and strong tool for development of the country. Therefore development of the field is a priority for Georgia's government and for myself personally. Highly developed information technologies will enhance further development of economy based on knowledge and recent achievements. To increase the country's compatibility power. We are in cooperation with the World Bank and we are intensively working with international organizations drafting projects in developing ITs. The technological hub has already been created in Georgia and we are not sparing efforts to develop the laboratories throughout the country for implementation of IT achievements. So broadband internet to all citizens, this is the motto that we are serving to implement in this country. And by means of relevant infrastructure we will be able to switch to switch all regions of the country to the modern communication network. The speedy internet and the delivering that service to the population, the 100 megabytes per second is our main objective. And Georgia's government will support investors in all ways possible for achieving this goal. Telecommunications, international telecommunications and Georgia's legislation will enhance to moving Georgia from absolutely modern informational technologies in broadcasting as well. In this field Georgia has achieved quite tangible results. This is the outcome of the recent reforms, liberalization, demonopolization of the field, enhanced the process. Georgia's very important achievement in the sector of informational technologies that all has been reflected in the recent report of international ITU organization during the last few years. We have improved our rating to 28 digits and the implementation of different services and management of the field and effective use of informational technologies helped us to achieve to simplify the procedures of issuing different documents to the population. It takes only 15-20 minutes for our citizens to get new documentation by means of innovations implemented in the field. This is the end of the important for us and for our country. And finally, I would like to thank again our dear guests. There are more than 90 countries here, the representatives of more than 90 countries who have arrived in Georgia. We hope that the International Telecommunications Union and Georgia will strengthen cooperation in this field. I would like to welcome you in Georgia. I would like to thank each of you for your arrival in Georgia. Excellency, Mr. Dimitri Mimsišvili, first Deputy Minister of Economy and Sustainable Development Georgia and Chair of WITIS 2014. Excellencies, distinguished colleagues, ladies and gentlemen, good morning. It's a real pleasure for me and a great honor for me to be here with you today at this opening ceremony of the World Telecommunications Union. For me, it is a great pleasure to welcome you in Georgia. I would like to express my gratitude to you from the government of Georgia, who welcomed this symposium, who welcomed this ecologist. It is an extraordinary hospitality. We have been able to visit the historical monuments recognized by UNESCO, its cultural heritage. We have also visited the capital of Georgia. It is an extraordinary city. We have had a great pleasure to see you. It was a great pleasure for us to see you. The objective of this meeting is that this meeting and the organization of this meeting were quite difficult. This meeting is extraordinary. This meeting is of great importance. Ladies and gentlemen, it has been a long time since we have been working on the question of telecommunications and information, and we have been trying to communicate as much as possible. The information to the rest of the world, in fact, we want that the development of telecommunications is much higher, I would like to emphasize that it is not secret for anyone that after the last statistics published, Georgia is one of the countries, among the minority countries, that have been able to carry out tangible progress, that have been able to advance on Monday in the implementation of new technologies in the world. Consequently, we wanted to make a little secret, but now we are going to do part of this information. We want to answer two questions. Do we know how many inhabitants of our planet are not connected to the Internet, of one form or of another, are not connected to new technologies? Are these people using mobile phones? About 3 billion people currently have access to the Internet, and more and more people use mobile phones. I would like to address the members of our organization to help people who are not connected in these new technologies so that they can improve their infrastructure in this sense, because for governments it is very important to implement these reforms. In the formation of the state and in the formation of the policy of the state, it is very important to stimulate investments, to increase competitiveness. Our organization, the International Telecommunication Organization, collects statistics on the matter of telecommunication, and we would like to thank all the countries who contributed to the supply of these information in the collection of these information. Our organization is doing everything possible so that these statistics on the matter of telecommunication are communicated to representatives of more than 200 countries so that they can develop their economy, and we will continue our work in this sense. I would like to promise that our organization is doing everything possible to raise standards, to maintain these standards, and to promote the follow-up of the progress of the countries to ensure universal access to new technologies. This is for the well-being of the countries, of course. I would like to thank Mr. Brahim Hassanou. I would like to congratulate him on his election of the head of the Bureau of Telecommunication. In fact, we have started our work by small meetings, and now we have the possibility to organize an international forum. Of course, we salute all the leaders of different institutions, of different national commissions. I would like to thank the authorities of the country who are here today. We see well that the Georgian government and other participants are here today. Even the Prime Minister is today at his seminars. Of course, in Georgia, the number of tourists has increased a lot, and this number has exceeded 100 million tourists. This is very important, but it is necessary that there is a political will as well as the knowledge of the experience to favor this process. And the question of responsibility is also important. I would like to address the head of the Bureau of Telecommunication newly elected. I would like to address him and tell him that we will continue to study the measures of the societies, to see the accessibility to the new technologies of the part of the population. Of course, it is known that the development of new technologies has a particular importance. I would like to wish you a fruitful work, a fruitful work and a lot of success during your work. I would like to thank Mr. Javo, and now I would like to pass the floor to Mr. George Guirikashvili, the Prime Minister of the economy and the sustainable development of Georgia. Ladies and gentlemen, Your Excellency, Mr. Arima Jano, Mr. Ministers, Mr. Armazani, I would like to thank you that it is a great pleasure to participate in the meeting on the Telecommunication indicators in the world. I would like to thank you for your today, your arrival. I would like to join the first minister's congratulations concerning the elections and the re-elections against the key of this organization. I would like to wish you a lot of success and a fruitful work. You know well that the technologies of information and communication, especially developed, have a particular importance in political, economic and social development and the countries in their irreversible development. Given the fact that the Georgian government pays special attention to the development of these domains in Georgia, in the country we have created an appropriate environment to attract investments, we are taking measures to favor the development of these domains as well as to provide new services to the population. In recent times, we have made important reforms in terms of communication, we have favored the development of Internet networks, the implementation of learning programs in different schools. We have provided to schools in Georgia and to the students of Georgia the access to the Internet to a wide range. In addition, we are carrying out a program of the open governance, of the direction of the open governance, which aims to improve public services, to increase participation, the involvement of society in the management of the state. We have created a specific portal of citizens that allows the Georgians to have access to more than 300 services. Thanks to the work done in recent years, Georgia has improved its position in the telecommunications index. Mr. Prime Minister had, and precisely in the origin of the different reforms that have favored the development of Georgia. Despite the results obtained, we are not happy and we are aware that the development of technologies, of new technologies is a priority, and therefore the minister of the development economy is sustainable. In cooperation with different market actors, in cooperation with non-governmental organizations, with experts, we have been able to implement action plans. For their realization, we have started concrete activities, new technologies and innovations, as well as the technology of information and communication should favor the growth of the country's competitiveness, as well as the integration of Georgia in the Atlantic space, the policy of the government, as well as the projects and programs in May. And for the realization of these programs, the minister of the development economy has set up an agency of new technologies that should help the creation and the functioning of new offices and new laboratories that could help the development of the country as well as the supply of production, the development of new technologies and innovations, the economic and social development and the implementation and implementation of these instruments in different aspects of the economy and the growth of competitiveness. We have also created a digital agency of the digital distribution that allows the implementation for the passage to the digital distribution, we work largely and actively to set up a new space in Asia that has a strategic importance because it creates a transit space for the country. In fact, it is a new digital network the international communication union and the European Union and thanks to their support, we have been able to start a new project that provides the passage to the digital distribution which constitutes an obligation of the state and therefore we have set up important work for this passage concerning the ethical sector and to ensure fixed objectives by our government which was also signed by the Prime Minister it needs a special cooperation with the international organizations we are ready for this cooperation and we hope that following our cooperation between us and the International Union of Telecommunications it will deepen and reinforce the georgie to fix these objectives and we hope that we will achieve these objectives and we hope that we will achieve these objectives and we hope that we will achieve these objectives and we hope that we will achieve these objectives and we hope that we will achieve these objectives I would like to thank Mr. Ekvillika Shwilim for this proper welcome now I would like to I would like to pass the floor to the head of the Bureau of Development of the New Technologies of the International Union of Telecommunications Ladies and Gentlemen I would like to thank you Mr. Prime Minister Mr. Minister of Economy I would also like to thank Mr. Koumsi Shwili Mr. Vice Minister I would also like to thank Mr. Vartang Abashidze I would also like to thank the president of the Telecommunications Commission Mr. Minister Mr. Secretary General Ladies and Gentlemen it is a great honor for me and it is a great pleasure to participate and to salute you on the 12th colloc on the Telecommunications Indicators it is a colloc which is held here in a country of great history I would like to thank the Georgian government excuse me I mixed there is a technical problem I mixed some cliches I would like to thank the Georgian government to have organized and to have welcomed the 12 colloc on the Telecommunications Indicators and its hospitality this year this year we know positive aspects for the first time we are starting to evaluate of the International Union of Telecommunications and it is a great pleasure for me to do it in a country which has tangible progress in this sense in terms of telecommunications there is an environment a reliable environment we collect reliable information which is very important in this sense we have worked we have treated different evaluations and these evaluations are brought to your knowledge during the intervention of experts another important aspect another question it is precisely the inventory of evaluations the revolution of data and the capital of data concerns precisely the technologies of information and communications so we will provide you this afternoon these evaluations will help us to make conclusions we know very well that the evaluation mechanisms these mechanisms were designed after the 8th resolution and this resolution was actually adopted and contained of our experiment that adopted climate change innovation and we are going to evolve it is the representative of the group space the Prime Minister already presented their ideas but at the same time I would like to say that we have the project the project is synchronized with the European Council and so in the next we should we are going to arrive in megabytes a big number of megabytes in seconds and of course what is clear it is it is really ambitious and today in Georgia electronic information in education in health for this great information e-commerce e-commerce and here we have the protection that if the medicine to have your point of view a tool and I think the development which intervenes in the natural environment we have the same progress in the sim and the population of the maritime to an internet on what to say the technology should appear following this analysis concerning the compilation of data bases before we start to gather all these data bases of that again we talked during the summit in December January in fact with the government of Morocco we have a forum how would I would like to talk about our experience we would like to say that in the future we have regulation of different diapas of large banks the question of the question concerning large banks we have talked about indicators of their evolution and we use them a lot and the evolution of infrastructure, the servers how could we all in addition it is I would like to say that in the world we need contacts with people we need structural changes in Manchester we use this model we use this information concerning the development of the development chain which explains who we are who gives us the possibility to enlarge our possibilities so that the country only the case of Egypt I would like to point out another question the question the question of my colleagues of the company of satellites 50% of our population as I already pointed out 50% have access to the internet but people do not use for example the internet in large banks the percentage is much lower and so we try to put in place other projects in the short and in the middle I agree that the satellite is very important and the last time the government reported that the satellites that the satellites could be precisely used to reach the Sahara and the distant regions distant regions I would also like to talk about the question of equality of the supply and demand concerning this policy concerning the relations with the decision makers of course there is a straight line a straight line so that people politicians can get results we need to use the economic theory thank you thank you very much this approach that you have reported is a very important element in the context of development of ethics which gives us the possibility precisely to have models of business quite interesting which could be conceived the question that was asked it makes us the perspective of the revolution of the data containing the accessibility of the accessibility to the data so that people can take leadership in the sense of commerce in the sense of politics so that the mutual responsibility is supported it makes it easy it makes it easy precisely the revolution of the data a new social contract is possible it can be done it can be done but today we are facing new challenges concerning the development of new technologies therefore the debate and the implication is very important because when we exist in the perspective when we exist we have the possibility to be involved to have a better implication I think a wide work should be carried to stimulate to adopt the role of TIC in the field of technology because after the order of the day of 2015 which constitutes a global order it would be very important but in the end the countries should see themselves how they adapt to new technology of TIC it should be a primary subject concerning the role of TIC it could not be very clear in the agenda but even I think we should get results concerning negotiations after the 2015 agenda it should start in January and we must have the possibility to work on these orientations concerning the sphere of law and that TIC constitutes a possibility having a great presence these questions could be the same in the order of the day of 2015 at the final assembly thank you very much we must make a balance of the volume of the data I hope you have taken note I would like to take 30 minutes to communicate I hope and I think we need to have a policy appropriate to have the regulatory framework of regulation we must also have the activity of the administration we must work more on the data collection so that we can manage the resources we must ensure that our statistics are reliable I would like to say that the World Bank has changed the methodology and the process and Georgia has just advanced I think that the methodology will not change all the time Georgia is the members you yourself I would like to modify the statistics and these I would like to thank you I would like to salute the members of the panel the participants of the panel and on this note I would like to finish this session I would like to ask the vice-minister to close this session and then we will work we will pass the exam but before that we will take the lunch so Mr. Vice-minister thank you very much I would like to thank all the participants I also want to invite you lunch thank you very much


Hello everyone in this video. I want to showcase more of that local CTF or capture the flag competition and I kind of put together myself for my local school and The challenge that I want to look at was called UPX and Challenge prompt is I checked the mailbox and found this and the hint is actually truncated here But the hint should have been this isn't UPS. It's UPX So this delivery was something you you as the user would go ahead and download and You would want to show it in the folder that you and and moved into navigated into so you could actually interact with the file so I'll demonstrate this for you. It's under my UPS folder and delivery is the file right here This may or may not already be solved admittedly but once you run delivery, which would be You'd note that it is a executable. You would know that. Oh, this package must have been shipped to the wrong address So I'm actually just gonna copy the a Local one to make sure it's the right thing Because you'll see very very soon that it overwrites Okay, so the ploy is that You will do a little bit more reconnaissance on this file and You'll notice that it has some interesting things In that there's like nothing really in the file that you can see like you can't find that string that says oh no This package has been delivered to something else But hopefully if you were to keep looking and looking and looking you'd see a little bit more strings pointing you towards UPX Which is the universal packer for executables I'm trying to find it now. I want to look UPX. There's some note of the top and then so there's more info This file is packed with the UPX executable packer and it gives you a link to their web page So that's kind of convenient for the for the individual trying to solve this challenge So I don't know if they store that in the metadata or not No, okay, I don't know but that's how you as the user. Hopefully you would figure out that. Oh, this is UPX and Hopefully they had not seen that before so we'd be able to go to that website that they kind of gave us the ultimate packer for executables and I think in my case a lot of the guys needed to download the 64-bit just Linux version and then they were able to just run it straight from the command line so UPX ultimate pack of executables if you go through and read the man page or look at the hint you can decompress these files so UPX Dash D on that delivery that executable what it does is it will go ahead and okay Decompress it or unpack it and it tells us it unpacked one file So there were no problems no issues and it doesn't actually create a new file It just goes ahead and I think overwrites the current one. So You would probably at least very likely you would still run the file itself, but it gives you that same Oh, this package must be shipped to the wrong address you as a individual would have to run delivery with strings so now you can be able to look at all the strings inside the file and I Will pipe this through less so we can keep hunting and Of course at this point you would know hopefully the okay, let's try and grep for the flag itself Let's see if we can find you a CGA. So I'll look for that and I say yep, there it is You a CGA packing an executable can hide some data. It's just like that string so I Will go ahead and copy that I should have just done it straight up in the strings out But Now we can go ahead and submit that and get our flag. So the way that I built that was super easy The create script Would actually compile a source code of C with the 32 bit and make sure it's static so because typically up X has to have a like large enough file that it can pack it and Actually because the program does pretty much nothing. It actually wasn't large enough by default so you have to say static in GCC when you compile it to note, okay I want to include like pretty much everything and make this make this program large and then it Packs it with the UPX and that dash dash exact. I think retains all the information Exactly when compressing required to be able to get a byte identical file after decompression with option D It looks like it's not entirely in progress or love the case maybe but I ended up using it to see because I wanted that bite identical file so the source code is actually just a simple C program that literally just says hey This package must have been shipped with to the wrong address so earlier when I was creating this I actually couldn't store these strings as Strings because the compiler like GCC would notice. Oh the program actually isn't any isn't doing anything with these strings It's not printing them out on the screen So I don't think it just even it like it wouldn't even keep track of the strings in the executable itself I would compile run strings on it and I wouldn't be able to find these things so I had to create kind of like a Fake case where like hey, I still want to execute statements with these with it with this data Like I want to be able to work with it So it's included inside of the binary and inside the executable. So what I actually did is I just tested Like a completely unnatural case a completely like implausible thing if the home environment variables equal to something unnecessary Again that just wouldn't happen But that way it would keep these strings and that in that data with the file because it knows okay There's a possibility obviously not realistic, but there's a possibility that these Commands and these statements could be executed So we have to keep the strings in the binary inside the executable and then I would just go ahead and pack it with upx And then we'd have the challenge and we could decompress it just like we did it to get the flag So yeah, we got our points and that's pretty much it That's how I finished and wrote you the upx challenge. So thanks for watching guys Hope you enjoyed this one and I'll see you in the next video


thank you very much the book native son by Richard Wright was challenged as a part of the reading list of all of advanced English classes at Northwest High School in High Point not Carolina in 1996 because guess what it's actually graphic and violent I'm going to read selections from this book book three of native son which is entitled fate the protagonist Biga Thomas is a young African-American man who is hired as a chauffeur by a rich white man he drives his employer's daughter Mary to a political lecture he takes Mary and her friend Jan to a restaurant where Mary gets drunk Biga takes her home and carries her to her room when Mary's blind mother enters the room Biga accidentally mothers Mary while trying to keep up from revealing his presence later Biga kills his girlfriend Bessie in that she will reveal his guilt he is captured by the police put to trial and sentenced to death the following is part of the conversation with his lawyer max just before his execution and bring the selection from 355 to 358 now they say that native son is disturbing but the complete thing and the point of the book the starves and teaches us the novel forces us to look at the crippling deadly effects of oppression and racism in this country and as they instill fear and lead to desperate arts so here goes native son the accepts mr. max I thought of myself after that night and I saw other people too and then mr. Biga's voice died he was listening to the echoes of his word in his own mind he saw amazement and horror on max's face bigger knew that max would rather not have him talk like this but he will not help it he had to die and he had to talk well it's a little funny mr. max I'm trying to dodge what is coming to me bigger was growing his terracal I know I'm going to get it I'm gonna die well that's all right now but really I never wanted to hurt anybody that's the truth mr. max I heard folks cars I felt I had to that's all there was crowd of me too close and they wouldn't get me no room lots of times I try to forget them they wouldn't let me now this time because eyes were wide and on scene his voice rushed on mr. max I didn't mean to do what I did I was only trying to do something else but it's been like I never could I was always wanting something and I was always thought feeling that nobody would let me have it so I found them I thought they was hard and I acted hard then after a while he said but I ain't hot mr. max I'm harder even a little bit he rose to his feet and said but I wouldn't be crying none when they were on it takes me to that chair but I'll be a baby feeling like instead of me like I was crying I'd be feeling and thinking that they didn't see me and I didn't see them either now he ran to the steel door and caught the bars in his hand and shook them and though trying to tear the steel from its concrete moorings max the lawyer went to him and gratis shoulder bigger bigger gross steel and lean weekly against the door mr. max I know the folks who sent me here to die hated me I know that but but but but you reckon that there was like me trying to get something like like I was and I'm dead and gone to the same like I'm saying now they didn't need to hurt nobody that there was trying to get somebody somebody to max the lawyer did not answer bigger took a look of indecision and wonder came into his old man's eyes tell me mr. mr. max do you think there was bigger max pleaded tell me mr. max max took his head and mumbled you're asking me to say things I don't want to say but I want to know you going to die bigger max for voices of faded bigger knew that the old man had wanted to say that he said it because it had pushed him he had made him say it there was silent for a moment longer then bigger whispered that's why I want to know everything's cause I know I'm gonna die that make you want to know max phase was a shame bigger steered that he was gonna leave across the Gulf came silence and they looked at each other come here bigger he followed max to the window and saw in a distance the tapes of the sun drenched buildings in the loop see all those buildings over there now placing his hand on his shoulder he said now yeah you lived in one of them bigger they're made out of steel and stone but the steel and stone don't hold them together you know what holds those buildings together bigger you know what keeps them in a place keeps them from tumbling down bigger looked at him bewildered it's the belief in man if men stopped believing stopped having faith they'll come tumbling down those buildings sprang up out of the hearts of men bigger men like you man kept hungry kept needing and those buildings kept growing and unfolding you once told me you wanted to do lots of things well that's the feeling that keeps those buildings in their place you mean you're talking about what I said last night when I said I wanted to do lots of things biggest voice came quite chat like like in a tone of hunger yes what you felt what you wanted is what keeps those buildings standing there when millions of men are desiring and longing those buildings grow and unfold but bigger those buildings are growing and not growing anymore a few men has quizzing those buildings tightly in their hands the buildings can't unfold can't feed the dreams the men inside of those buildings have been begun to doubt just as you did they don't believe anymore they don't feel it's their world they're restless like you grow and unfold they grow in the streets understand outside these buildings and look well leave again but it's not too late to believe what you felt to understand what you felt at this point in time bigger was gazing in the direction of the buildings but he did not see them he was trying to react to the picture max was drawing trying to compare that picture with what he had felt in his inside all his life see I wanted to do something for myself he mumbled to himself and then there was silent and max didn't speak again until bigger looked at him max closed his eyes see bigger you're gonna die and if you die you die free you're trying to believe in yourself and every time you find a way to live you your your mind stands in the way you know why this it's because others have said you were bad and you made your lives in bad conditions when a man hears that over and over and looks about him and sees that his life is bad he begins to doubt his own mind his feelings drag them forward in his mind full of what others have to say about him tells him to go back the job in getting people to fight and have faith isn't making them believe in what they what life has it has for them and make them feel making them feel that their feelings are as good as others they say bigger the people will hate you feel just as you feel only they are on the other side of the fence you are black and that's the only part of it you're being black as I told you before makes it easy for them to single you out why did I do that they wanted things of life just as you did and you're not particular about how they get them the higher people and they're not particular about how they get them the higher people and the rule and regulate their lives they have things arranged so that they can do things and the people can fight back so that they black folks more than others because they're black they think that they're inferior but bigger they they say that all people who work are inferior and the rich people don't want to change they lose too much but deep down in them bigger in order to keep what they've got they gotta make themselves believe that men who work and not quite human they do like you did bigger you refused to feel sorry for Mary but on the other side both men want to leave oh I reckon I believe in myself then and got nothing else to lose I got to die though he stepped over to max and max was leaning against the window mr. max you go home I'm alright sounds funny mr. max but when I think about what you say I feel what I wanted it makes me feel I was kind of right I ain't trying to forgive nobody and I'm asking for nobody to forgive me I ain't going to cry they wouldn't let me and I killed maybe it ain't fair to kill and I reckon I don't I didn't know I didn't want to kill but when I think of why all the killing was I begin to feel what I wanted that is what I am thank you


So the spectrum of a matrix sigma of A is the set of eigenvalues of A and again the spectral radius 2 of A is the largest magnitude eigenvalue which is equal to max of mod lambda where lambda belongs to sigma of A. So this is just writing the spectral radius in terms of sigma of A. Another small point to note is that if A x equals lambda x then A times C x is equal to lambda times C x for any 0 not equal to C belonging to some complex base and so basically if x is an eigenvector so is C x for any C not equal to 0. Okay so now the other thing is which will sort of lead us to the characteristic polynomial and studying it in is that given any polynomial so let us say p of t a k t power k plus a k minus 1 t power k minus 1 plus a 0 this is a polynomial in t and a in c to the n cross n okay so we can define p of a this is the polynomial evaluated at a matrix valued point a so we will define it as a k times a power k plus a k minus 1 a power k minus 1 plus a 0 identity matrix otherwise you cannot add it to these terms so this is how we define the polynomial evaluated at a matrix. Now this p of a it will always have the same eigenvectors as the matrix a itself and the polynomials the the eigenvalues of p of a p of a is an n cross n matrix because this is n cross n this is n cross n this is n cross n when you add up all these terms you will get an n cross n matrix and its eigenvalues are closely related to the eigenvalues of a itself and so that is the following theorem yes can somebody else confirm it is getting updated for me sir yeah maybe you know if you just wait for a second if it doesn't update then just drop off and join again you should see the new screen polynomial okay and if lambda is an eigenvalue a and x is a corresponding eigenvector then p of lambda is an eigenvalue of p of a x is an eigenvector of p of a associated with the eigenvalue p of lambda okay so how do we show this this is very simple so if I take p of a times x this is going to be equal to a k a power k x plus a k minus 1 a power k minus 1 x plus etcetera plus a 0 times the identity times x which is equal to x now of course a power j times x is equal to a power j minus 1 times a x which is equal to lambda a power j minus 1 times x and so we can keep going like this go to j minus 2 and so on and so this is going to be equal to lambda power j times x okay so that means that p of a times x is equal to so it becomes lambda power k times x here and lambda power k minus 1 times x here and so on so it becomes a k lambda power k x plus a k minus 1 lambda power k minus 1 x plus etcetera plus a 0 times x and x is multiplying all these terms so I can pull it out and write this as a k lambda power k plus a k minus 1 lambda power k minus 1 plus etcetera plus a 0 times x and this is nothing but p of lambda this polynomial evaluated at the number lambda times x so we see that p of a times x equals p of lambda times x this is an n cross n matrix this times x equals this is a scalar so p of lambda times x which means that p of lambda is an eigenvalue of a and the corresponding eigenvector is x p of lambda is an eigenvalue of p of a and the corresponding eigenvector is x so based on this so for example if sigma of a or the two values say minus 1 and 2 then what is sigma of a square a is a 2 cross 2 matrix which has two eigenvalues minus 1 and 2 so sigma of a square will be lambda 1 square and lambda 2 square which is equal to 1 and 4 and as I already mentioned to you earlier a is singular if and only if 0 is part of sigma of a because if a is singular if and only if ax equals 0 for some non-zero x which means which is true if and only if lambda equal to 0 is an eigenvalue sir yes so in the above example the polynomial is px equals x square right correct okay thank you okay so now let's discuss this characteristic polynomial in some more detail so this basically we answer questions about the eigenvalues of a and for example how many eigenvalues does an n cross n matrix have and when will it have and linearly independent eigenvectors okay so there are the type of questions we want to answer so the characteristic polynomial will define it in a slightly different way from what I said earlier it's just a change of sign we'll define it to be pa of t which is equal to determinant of ti minus a okay this is a polynomial of degree n and its roots are the eigenvectors eigenvalues so why is this a polynomial of degree n it's because if I think of it I mean just write it for the 2 cross 2 k so that you see what happens this matrix will look like t minus a11 minus a12 minus a21 and t minus a22 and if I take this determinant it will be equal to t minus a11 t minus a22 minus a21 a12 and so you can see that this is a quadratic polynomial so in the n cross n case by similarly writing it out you will see that it has to be a polynomial of degree n the coefficient of t is always 1 so it when I take the determinant of this I cannot suddenly get a polynomial whose degree is n minus 1 it will always be of degree n so there is a what is known as the fundamental theorem of algebra we will not prove this here we will take it on faith but it says that any polynomial of degree n and complex coefficients or width complex coefficients has exactly n zeros counting multiplicities okay so multiplicity just simply means how many times a particular lambda occurs as a zero of pa of lambda so if you count multiplicities then there are exactly n eigenvalues so for example the n cross n identity matrix has exactly n eigenvalues all are equal to 1 now because yes sir commerce coefficients means a real also is included yes okay now suppose we let lambda 1 through lambda n be the eigenvalues of a where repeated eigenvalues are okay they're just counted as lambda 1 lambda 2 to n so so let lambda 1 lambda n be the eigenvalues of a counting multiplicities the n eigenvalues of a counting multiplicities then these are the zeros of the characteristic polynomial so we can write pa of t equals t minus lambda 1 t minus lambda 2 t minus lambda n okay so this is a factorized form of the characteristic polynomial and this polynomial is identical to this determinant of ti minus a so in particular if I look at the coefficient of t to the n minus 1 in this polynomial that's just the sum of the eigenvalues and similarly if I look at the coefficient of t power 1 here you can see that it's just going to be t power 1 will be minus a 11 minus a 22 and the coefficient of t power n minus 1 here will be minus of lambda 1 plus lambda 2 plus etc up to lambda n so those two coefficients must match if the polynomials are if we say two polynomials are equal it means that the coefficients of t power n t power n minus 1 all way down to t power 0 must match t power n obviously matches because the coefficient of t squared is 1 and here also when I take the coefficient of t squared in the 2 m in the lambda 1 lambda 2 case that will also be equal to 1 but basically if I look at what happens to the coefficient of t to the n minus 1 here it's going to be equal to a 11 plus a 22 which is the coefficient which is equal to which must equal lambda 1 plus lambda 2 which is the coefficient of t to the n minus 1 here so basically we and similarly if I take the constant term here that's the product of these eigenvalues and the constant here here is going to be all I have to do is the constant term will be obtained by setting t equal to 0 in in this pa of t and so the constant term is just nothing but the determinant of the matrix a so the product of the eigenvalues equals the and the sum of the eigenvalues equals the trace of the matrix so that's the following theorem if lambda 1 through lambda n are the eigenvalues of a so the determinant of a is the product of the eigenvalues and the trace of a is the sum of the eigenvalues so just to maybe make it clear if you look at the if I set t equals 0 here what I get is minus lambda 1 into minus lambda 2 up to minus lambda n which is minus 1 power n times the product of the eigenvalues if I set t equals 0 here I will get determinant of minus a which is again going to be equal to minus 1 power n times determinant of a those two must be equal and therefore minus 1 power n cancels with minus 1 power n and what you're left with is determinant of a is the product of the eigenvalues and similarly if I look at the coefficient of t power n minus 1 here it's going to be minus lambda 1 minus lambda 2 up to minus lambda n and here if I look at the coefficient of t power n t power 1 I have a11 plus minus of a11 plus a22 which is nothing but the negative trace of the matrix so negative trace of the matrix is the same as the negative sum of the eigenvalues and so we have this part here so for the sake of completeness I just say here coefficient of t to the n minus 1 and this is obtained by looking at the coefficient of t power 0 or the constant term the other way is set t equals 0 in okay so there are a couple of other results before that maybe I'll just write this one thing out which is what is the procedure to find eigenvalues and eigenvectors


My day starts at 7, the best part of the day is driving my daughter to school. That's our daddy daughter time. The first thing I do is talk to the staff. I always believe that as an owner you should be really connected with your people, as well as you should always have a second eye on the product that you're delivering. I realise that I've been very fortunate to come to this country. It's quite common here that people work hard and make it big. As I lost my father when I was quite young, all of a sudden I had a lot of financial responsibility, being the oldest son. I grew up in Southern India. I come from a very small town. I couldn't get a job, so I started a vegetable wholesale business. And in 18 months I built it into a very large business. I always wanted to go overseas because the influence of the English movies that we used to watch, I sold my business and I was able to come to Australia. When I arrived in Australia as a student, I really couldn't get any jobs. I tried to get even a sandwich hands job I couldn't get. Then all of a sudden I get a job with Sydney Show Boats. I get to work on Sydney Harbour amongst these beautiful dancing girls, so I thought it was just paradise. Seven years after I joined Show Boats as a waiter, I was CEO of the company. Even though I'm a chairman, I'm very closely involved with the staff. I kind of belong with them because I was one of them once upon a time. The one thing you do realise in Australia is life is quite easy. So people don't want to work that hard that we migrants want to do. In Australia you have to encourage your employees to deliver more. They're not going to deliver because of fear. But there's one thing which I really think is so different in Australia. It really doesn't matter what position you're in, we're all equal. It's not a country where a doctor is different to a plumber. They respect you for what you've achieved. Since 2008, our business has been impacted with the onset of GFC. The customers are a lot more sensitive to price, but I am very confident that we'll all be looking back and saying how we came through those challenges and how good the blue skies are now. We're quite lucky, my office is right in the middle of Darling Harbour. My daughter loves wildlife work, she knows so much about it. It's almost, she's like a curator herself. Monday to Friday, I'm totally in business. The weekends, it gets me to spend time with my family. It really gives me a different side to my life. I've known my wife for almost 20 years. You know, she's really that woman who stands behind a successful man and says, you're wrong. I love my weekends. More often we end up having a barbecue, you know, very Australian. It's always a big feast. There's not really any specific way to integrate with Australian society. You really need to take the initiative to make friends. But Australia being in Asia has to become more sensitive to the Asian cultural complexities. To be competitive in the long run. I'm very Australian in the way around my business, the way I've integrated with the society. But you never lose what you learned in your early years. I must say that I'm probably a pragmatic Indian with a positive Australian outlook. I'm definitely a fusion. Harbour is always different right throughout the day. For many of our guests, it's probably a once in a lifetime experience. They're so happy. It must be the water, it must be the mood, it must be the bridge. It could be the alcohol. I think the secret of my success is believing in my conviction and driving it through and have a very balanced approach to it. The hardest thing is to get to that launching pad. And I look at my business and probably somewhere on that launching pad with the ability to grow further. My best advice to immigrants to come to this country, particularly from India, is don't come here to make money, to go back home.  Australia is really a place where you live well.


Hey, this is Dylan with the surf station. Today we're talking about the Boombot 2 portable speaker. It's got a nice hard durable outside shell. It's also water resistant and has a rechargeable battery. The biggest feature though is it'll work with a smartphone or a wireless device that you have music on with Bluetooth. And if you want to be old school, they still include yeah, a little cable. To get started, you simply push the button once and that is just going to act like a regular speaker so you can plug your MP3 player into it. If you push it again, the light turns blue, signifying Bluetooth. So when you get your phone set, just go to your general settings and open up Bluetooth. And once you've got Bluetooth open, simply switch it on. And Boombot should show up. And each Boombot will come with a pin. Just enter it and click pair. It's connected. Now simply go find your music. Turn it on and away you go.
