if we think about some of our family or friends or colleagues, we can definitely identify the selfish and we can definitely identify the altruistic. So how do we split the difference and what might be going on there in terms of our decision making? Yeah. Well, what I think is I think that we all have capacities of each within us and that there are certain frameworks that are going to help us to bring out one versus the other. There's a psychologist, Jonathan Haidt, you may have heard of him. He writes a lot. He's got a wonderful metaphor that I think is really instructive to this. So he has this metaphor that he calls the rider and the elephant. And that's how he describes human nature that we do have control, but we're kind of like the deliberate part of our decision making process like this person who's riding an elephant. And as long as the elephant doesn't desire of his own, we can tell the elephant which way to go. But if the elephant really wants to do something, we're kind of powerless to pull it back and rein it in the other way. So I think this is a really good metaphor for human nature because there are certain contexts in which that altruism is more likely to flourish and in other contexts in which jealousy or selfishness or something else tends to predominate. And so identifying those contexts I think is a really important kind of social goal and goal of social science. So free will is a highly debated topic, but at the same time it's kind of at the root of what we see is human beings. Intrinsically, the way we view each other, we see each other as free and autonomous beings and there's something about it that is just seems to be fundamental. A lot of philosophers and scientists have wrestled with this issue for a long time. There was a scientist, fairly well-known scientist, Roberts Palski who came out with a book in the fall of 2023 basically saying that, yeah, free will is just an illusion, blah, blah, blah. So I take this head on and I think there's good data to suggest that he is not quite right. I agree with him that there are lots of things that factor into the decisions that we make, but that doesn't mean that things are 100% determined beforehand. This conversation that we're having right now is not inevitable and it was not somehow pre-written or pre-ordained into the big bang. So happy to dig into kind of what evidence suggests that. The religious aspect of free will is certainly not determined either. Even within Christianity, there are those sects that believe that you're just going to live out God's plan and then there are those in certain sects of Christianity that are like, no, you do have free choice and free will and your actions are going to determine your result. So even in the religious aspect, it's certainly not. Correct. Correct. And I think what you're referring to probably dates back to John Calvin and this notion that whatever happens is God will and how can God be all powerful if we also have free choice and that sort of thing. So this book, as you've noted, there's a deep kind of religious implication to it. I mostly kind of shy away from delving into theology, but just trying to appeal to the sense that most people have that life has value and meaning and so forth and that there is some sort of higher purpose or higher power. What the science says, my interpretation of science are two things. And when you talk about free will, inevitably you have to come up to a kind of boring but necessary task of defining your terms. Because when we talk about free will, some people mean one thing, some people mean another thing. For me, at least, it's kind of built into the term itself that the free part that there are some actions that are not deterministically tied to the past and there's some wiggle room in the cause and effect relationship that is so important to how we often view the world. The other part is that the will part is that we can with our thoughts control our behaviors and our actions. And I think there's good scientific evidence that both of those propositions hold that behavior, even in relatively simple organisms, for instance, in one experiment, biologists have a leech and the leech can respond in one of two different ways to a stimulus. It can either swim or it can crawl. And they'll set up the experiment to where the conditions are exactly the same, but they can't predict is the leech going to swim or crawl. They'll do it. It's kind of a probabilistic thing. And they'll say, well, 60% in time, it'll do one thing, 40% it'll do another. They'll do experiments with other organisms like a worm or a cockroach, something like that. And there seems to be this unpredictability about it that no matter what, if you control the conditions exactly the same way, even with the same organism, it will behave in different ways. And so as you get to humans, it becomes more and more complex. But my logic is that, look, if these simple organisms behave in ways that are fundamentally indeterministic, do we really think that humans are going to be fully deterministic? And I think that's kind of a relatively straightforward conclusion that we're not deterministic.

And if they think me being arrested is going to stop this, they have another thing coming. Hello everyone, so I've finally been released from custody along with the other activists who were arrested with me. If you do not know, in the early hours of yesterday morning we went into the Kranzwick Country Foods Watson site to occupy the CO2 gas chamber to raise awareness about my latest investigation which was covered by the Independent showing horrific scenes inside of that slaughterhouse with pigs being smashed in the face before they were forced into the CO2 gas chamber to suffer horrific, horrific torture before being killed. So we entered the slaughter house to raise awareness and bring light to the horrors of these CO2 gas chambers. And this is part of a larger awareness campaign that we've been embarking on after the release of my documentary called Pignorant which you can find on Amazon Prime or 2B. They did arrest us. We have been, many of us have been charged. I've been charged with aggravated trespass. We will be pleading not guilty to that charge. Raising awareness should not be considered a crime. The goal and intention of the day was to raise awareness and we have been looking on the internet. There's been many, many dozens. There's probably a there could be a nearly a hundred articles but all the major news media have covered this. It's been on some TV channels but the yeah many, many articles written about this bringing attention to the plight of the pigs who are exploited and caused immense torture to kill and their bodies sold. What we are trying to do is bring transparency to an industry that relies on secrecy. Now we are forced to bring this transparency because the industry don't give it willingly. The RSPCA assure products from the pork industry made from the meat torn from the bodies of animals who have been tortured. That manipulates the public perception about what happens in these industries. When the RSPCA assure the meat people think something humane is happening to these animals therefore and because of the secrecy of them not this footage not being widely available we are forced to leave cameras in these gas chambers to bring transparency out to the public and unfortunately sometimes employ tactics like standing on top of a gas chamber to draw attention to this issue. It's also very unfortunate that we are treated as criminals for this. They've seized all of our possessions like phones and cameras and laptops and seized our vehicles which they are trying to hold for an extended period of time. They're treating us as if we're in some kind of drug cartel or we're in some kind of we're up to we're involved with harming people or something like this when all we are our intentions were to just raise awareness about the torture the pigs are experiencing CO2 gas chambers and we're asking the public to to do something with that information like to remove their support for these industries but we are treated as criminals for raising awareness which is an injustice. So I just thought I'd update everyone because the last you probably saw of me and people who are with me is that we're on top of a gas chamber and uh yeah they once we got down from the gas chamber they did arrest us all put us into you know a jail cell for about 10-11 hours took all of our phones and everything like that and cars things like this so yeah it's been a it's been a you know it's been a long couple days but I just want to also say even though I have been arrested even though we have been arrested it will not shake our mission to expose educate and fight for the rights of pigs and other animals just because we have been arrested it doesn't mean that we are not going to still legally raise awareness and legally protest because these industries they need accountability and the way these industries thrive is through people not knowing what they do and it is in the public interest for people to know what they do and otherwise their business wouldn't do so good if people knew the evil that they're up to so yes we've been arrested but that's not going to stop the campaigning okay um if anything um it's strengthened my resolve to continue to expose these industries and if they think me being arrested is going to stop this they will they have another thing coming because you know when when people see that you're desperately trying to keep the horrible things you do secret it makes them more curious to know why why are you withholding this from people if you're seen on top of the gas chamber when I was standing on top of the gas chamber you can see on my live stream they put padlocks on the gas chamber at the top so no one can see what happens in there why are you so afraid of people seeing inside your gas chamber why are you so afraid of that I know why because you're torturing pigs in there period if it was all humane you just have a nice glass see-through walls wouldn't you where everyone could see what's going on but you don't want them to know because you want to trick these people into paying for horrific horrific torture and uh it's incredible injustice we'll continue to raise awareness about it I encourage you all who are watching this update video to go to my youtube channel to share the latest gas chamber investigation it's entitled uh second pig gas chamber in UK history expose you grab that one share it around they obviously don't want anyone to know do they share it around so it also encourage people to watch pignery encourage people to watch pignery on amazon prime to raise further awareness because the industry don't like films like this being on amazon prime and or or on tubie and uh so we need to share it around so that they become further exposed and we further raise awareness and we help the pigs and we create change spark change that's the goal that's the intention thank you so much everyone for your support and uh we'll definitely be updating you very soon


As we start talking about external flow, we're going to be taking our analysis from internal flow and applying it to everything else. The modeling approach we use isn't going to be very different. We're going to try to characterize our flow as generally as possible, and then apply correlations to that characterization. But the first thing we need to do is limit our scope a little bit. External flow encompasses analysis of flow around everything. Even internal flow can be roughly approximated with an external flow analysis. There are three general ways to approach an external flow problem.  The second method is the application of experimental correlations to a general case, like we did in our internal flow analysis. The third is an old-fashioned method where you simplify an analysis to flat shapes and use their boundary layer to simplify the Navier-Stokes equations. The best sort of analysis that we can do is actually a combination of options one and two. You build a CFD model, you support it with experimental data, and then you apply it to a slightly different situation. But before anyone can get into that, they have to start to understand where those equations come from. And for the simple case, we're going to be using boundary layer theory. For the purposes of this class, we will talk primarily about option three and a little bit about option two. CFD will be outside the scope of this class. If you are interested in that, and I would very much encourage you to try to get interested in it, as that is the future of fluid mechanics and heat transfer. I would encourage you to take the computational fluid dynamics tech collective or the aerodynamics tech collective, which involves a lot of CFD. In our boundary layer theory analysis, we're going to be talking about the development of boundary layers across primarily flat bodies. Like with internal flow, we are going to be developing flow characterizations for different situations and the way that the boundary layer develops in those situations. For our purposes, we're going to be splitting our flow characterization into laminar and turbulent analysis again. But this time, we're going to be using a different critical Reynolds number. You'll remember that for internal flow, we can pretty broadly characterize the flow as transitioning at a Reynolds number of about 2,300. That critical Reynolds number didn't really change because we were talking about flow through primarily round shapes. Even square or rectangular ducts can be pretty safely approximated as a round pipe. But for external flow, there are many more shapes that we need to consider. And as a result, the Reynolds number will vary a lot more. The critical Reynolds number is going to be specific to a type of case or to a shape. For flat plates, the Reynolds number we use for the critical transition from laminar to turbulent is 5 times 10 to the fifth or 5e5. You can see here the approximations we're going to be using for the development of the boundary layer for laminar and turbulent flow. That boundary layer thickness delta is expressed as a non-dimensional parameter here as delta over x, where x is your position back from the leading edge of the plate. And for laminar flow, that's equal to 5 over the Reynolds number to the one-half power. And for turbulent flow, it's about 0.16 divided by the Reynolds number to the one-seventh power. You'll also notice that the Reynolds number here is expressed with x as the characteristic length. So when you're calculating the Reynolds number for a given position, instead of using diameter like we did in internal flow, we are using the position back from the leading edge of the plate. Furthermore, we need to understand that when we talk about flat plate theory, we are neglecting the effects of the shape of the body itself. If you consider around cylinder in cross flow, the boundary layer development around the cylinder will have an effect on the drag, but so will the negative pressure region on the trailing edge of the shape. So when we talk about flat plates, we are talking about their drag primarily in the form of friction, also known as skin friction. When we start adapting that analysis to broader bodies, we are going to be developing both friction drag and pressure drag. When considering our flat plate drag, we will develop equations for the laminar and turbulent cases. For the laminar case, we are using this simplification developed by Blasius. We can see here that this analysis develops a coefficient of drag, which is a non-dimensional parameter, which represents the proportion of the drag force to one-half times the density times the fluid velocity at the free stream squared times the area of effect. And that's approximately equal to 1.328 divided by the Reynolds number where the length of the plate is the characteristic length raised to the one-half power. Note while we're here that area is the area of effect of the flat plate, if you have drag on both sides of a plate, that is going to be double the area of the plate itself, because you're accounting for the area on both sides of the plate. For smooth turbulent flow, we can develop another representation for the coefficient of drag that's going to be 0.031 divided by the Reynolds number where the length of the plate is the characteristic length raised to the one-seventh power. And I will point out while we're here that this equation is only for the turbulent part of the analysis. You cannot always assume that the turbulent flow starts from the leading edge of the plate. In situations where you have developing boundary layers with laminar conditions on the very front of the plate and turbulent conditions everywhere else, we can use this relationship. This will give us the coefficient of drag that includes the laminar and turbulent part of the plate. For rough turbulent flow, we have these equations, which are correlations from experimental data. Note that the epsilon value here is the same roughness we used in internal flow. And unlike the Colbrook equation, we don't need a fancy calculator to be able to handle this math. It's a lot easier to perform this calculation on a regular calculator. But, just like the Colbrook equation, we also have access to the graphed data, which is convenient in certain circumstances. The blue lines here represent the proportion of the length of the plate divided by the roughness of the surface of the plate. The x-axis is the Reynolds number, again where the length of the plate is the characteristic length for determining the Reynolds number itself. And the y-axis is the coefficient of drag, which again is the drag force divided by one half times the density times the free stream velocity squared times the area of effect. The only difference in our analysis of the pressure drag instead of the friction drag is where the coefficient of drag comes from. The textbook gives us some common drag coefficients for some common geometrical shapes.  For any other shape, we would have to determine the coefficient of drag from experimental data, or we would have to look up the coefficient of drag published by the manufacturer. So in conclusion, we're going to use a coefficient of drag or a coefficient of lift to determine a drag force or a lift force. And for the coefficients of drag, we are going to consider either the drag coefficient on the surface for flat plates, or around the body for blunt objects. And those will either come from a table, from a calculation we make from experimental data, or from the calculations made from general correlations for flat plates. Let's try an example.


After making one of the most impressive splashes of recent memory with content creation on social media, influencer, comedian and all around hilarious guy Steve Will Do It was faced with the scary prospect of losing everything he had worked so hard for when YouTube decided to de-platform him after he had amassed nearly 5 million subscribers. But now Steve has a second chance thanks to a new deal that he's struck with sharing a platform known as Rumble. In September of last year, Steve announced a new partnership with the company in which he promised to produce exclusive weekly video content for this independent startup that's been designed to be immune to cancel culture. Considering he's got himself something of a fresh start with this new opportunity, it only makes sense that Steve Will Do It is wiping the whole slate clean and starting over in terms of his home life as well with his recent move to Las Vegas, Nevada. A lot of Steve's decision to move to Vegas has to do with things outside of the home where he lived. After all, Vegas is a popular vacation destination for a reason, largely because there's never a shortage of options when it comes to entertainment. Steve likes to live as exciting a life as possible with frequent trips to Red Rock Casino where he not only gambles non-stop, but gets to take advantage of the place's numerous amenities. Oh, and did I mention that he lived there for about a month as well? Because he did. As much as Steve Will Do It enjoyed living like a prize fighter getting ready for a big Vegas payday, he quickly came to realize that the real estate prices in Vegas compared to other cities on the West Coast, in particular Los Angeles, were dirt cheap.  So, while Steve was out of state attending to some business, he sent his parents to house hunt for him in Vegas and eventually they stumbled upon a real beauty. And what do you know? As part of his exclusive deal with Rumble, Steve recently invited his 554,000 followers on this platform to check out the inside of his new place, so why don't we do the same? Now, before we step foot inside of Steve's actual residence, let's start with his RV, which is parked outside of his new home and is where one of his employees lives while helping Steve create his content. The interior of this RV is about as luxurious as these things come. Not only does it have tile floors and a whole bunch of windows, but it boasts stylish dark cherry wood cabinets everywhere you look alongside a flat screen TV with the fireplace right underneath it. Towards the far back of the unit is the bedroom and bathroom. While a few short feet from there is the kitchen space with marble counters and stainless steel appliances. There is also an extremely tiny table that's big enough to sit to alongside a couple of lengthy couches if you need a little extra room to spread out.  Walking up the property's long and winding driveway, you'll find that the front of Steve's mansion features an overhang jutting out from the entry so that you can park a vehicle under some much needed shade. Trust me in the Las Vegas heat, that is a must, especially if your vehicle features leather seats. Just past there is the tiled front porch covered by an awning that features two large black doors through which you can enter the home. Once you're inside, you'll probably notice that Steve has more work to do before this place is complete. After all, the guy just moved in. That being said, he has already installed one of the home's most important features, a store and trooper standing guard over the front entry. Stepping down from the front door brings you into the main living space of the unit, an open concept living room with a marble fireplace accompanied by a state-of-the-art kitchen. As you can tell, Steve's lacking in the furniture department right now with only one relatively small couch sitting in the middle of that space. Even his dogs don't know what to do with all that freedom. He might not have much in the way of furniture, but when it comes to decor, Star Wars isn't the only popular franchise that's been well represented in Steve's home. Located at different spots around his main living space, you'll also find life-size replicas of Tom Holland's Fireman, Robert Downey Jr.'s Iron Man, and even Ben Affleck's Batman. Not far from there is Steve's kitchen, which includes two lengthy marble topped kitchen islands, one of which features additional bar seating with a stone finish. Otherwise, the rest of his kitchen surprisingly resembles the inside of his RV, with dark wood cabinets, stainless steel appliances, and a large built-in shelving unit that partitions the living room from the kitchen. On the opposite end of the house, you'll find Steve's master suite, and while it doesn't look like much either right now because he hasn't finished setting it up, you can still tell it's got potential. It's not only got enough space for a king-sized bed, but the room also includes an en suite bathroom with steps leading up to a deep soaking jacuzzi tub and separate glass shower. There are also two walk-in closets where Steve keeps his classic collection of tank tops as well as a high-powered weapon, you know, just in case. All right, now that we've got some idea of what Steve's home is like on the inside, let's check out the great outdoors. The interior of Steve will do its new home might not be set up perfectly quite yet, but his backyard is always gonna be worth showing off. Boasting numerous palm trees, emerald green grass, and a series of stone pathways, Steve's backyard is a tropical paradise situated literally in the middle of a desert. If it ever gets too hot while relaxing under one of those gorgeous palms, Steve or his girlfriend Selena can hop right into their incredible geometrically shaped pool. As refreshing as that must feel for all you car lovers out there, you're gonna love this next bit because right next to the pool is enough space for Steve to park his endless series of sports vehicles. Seriously, his collection is so extensive that when the cars are all parked in a row, the line stretches from the very back of the property all the way out to the front. And that's not even all of them. He's still missing too. Since there's no way that Steve could even fit a small percentage of those whips into his garage, he decided to repurpose that space into a home gym, complete with a treadmill, pub-up sauna, and a tanning bed too. A side door from the garage will lead you directly back into Steve's kitchen, which means we've now come full circle with our tour and seen every corner of Steve's new property, at least when it comes to what he's been willing to show off so far. Steve will do its new deal with Rumble, must be paying him pretty well if he can afford new digs like this standing home. And while it might not be massive inside, it has everything he could possibly need including all that wide open outdoor space for his jaw-dropping car collection. Alright folks, that's gonna bring this latest house tour to a close. Thanks so much for watching, and before you head out, consider answering the following question. What's the one drawback to Vegas that would have you second-guessing living there full-time? Let me know if it's the heat, the tourists, or something else entirely in the comments down below. Otherwise, like, subscribe, and turn on your notifications to make sure you never miss an episode. My name's Kara. If you'd like to check out a whole other tour right now, then stay tuned because coming up will take you inside the town that Mr. Beast just bought. I'll see you all next time. Bye! Jimmy Donaldson is the everyday civilian name of the social media titan and influencer. Most of us probably know best as Mr. Beast. He's a content creator whose YouTube channel has exploded in popularity over the past few years, largely off the back of a series of very expensive, not to mention creative stunts. Hard as it may be to believe now while Mr. Beast comes from some very humble beginnings, having been raised primarily in a suburban household in Greenville, North Carolina. Today, he's worth over an estimated $100 million, but he's still living in a relatively modest home in the same general area as to where he grew up. Before we go a little deeper into exploring Mr. Beast's actual house, I want to provide you all with some context as to where this home is located because Mr. Beast didn't just buy any old house in any old neighborhood. No, he bought himself a house in an area of a town that he's been slowly purchasing for years. That's right, on an unassuming cul-de-sac just southeast of Greenville, North Carolina, while Mr. Beast has been scooping up one home after another for himself and his family and his employees. According to the New York Post, will Jimmy's house buying endeavor, it began with the purchase of his own unit for a paltry $320,000 back in 2018. Over the next handful of years, will Jimmy would continue to discreetly add to his real estate portfolio, bringing his current grand total of properties located on the street to five. According to records, will he bought the second home in 2020 for $263,000, followed by an additional three other properties, all of which were bought off market for a combined total of $1.45 million. Of those individuals who sold their home to Mr. Beast is a man named Aaron Bowden. Aaron came to an agreement with Jimmy in 2022 and he told the New York Post, we negotiated back and forth and it had to be worth my while, and he wasn't gonna buy if it wasn't worth his while. Even after securing five homes, will Jimmy still has one last property left to buy on the street. But according to Aaron, will it's rather unlikely Mr. Beast will be able to add this property to his growing collection because the children who live there have yet to complete their education at the nearby school. Now Aaron, he continued to the New York Post, it's the best school district in the area and they have kids in school. I wouldn't know anything for a fact because I don't walk in their shoes, but they may change their minds when their kids are out of high school and off to college. In terms of the here and now, will it has been confirmed by Jimmy's representation that his residence in this neighborhood will become his home base for this foreseeable future. Now whenever he's not busy traveling for work or shooting out of his studio nearby, that is, so why don't we take a closer look at what's inside Mr. Beast's new home. In 2022 alone Variety reported that Mr. Beast, he earned an estimated 54 million.  But here's the surprising thing, they're all kind of mid, especially Jimmy's. Following a burglary in his previous home, will Jimmy bought his two story four bedroom, four bathroom property that occupies nearly 3000 square feet back in 2018. Now inside the house, it boats the kitchen that features newly installed granite countertops along with a breakfast bar, kitchen table, and a pantry. There's also a nearby family room that comes complete with a gas log fireplace as well as huge windows that allow for plenty of natural light. Elsewhere on that same level is the primary suite which includes an en suite bathroom with a double vanity as well as a whirlpool tub and a shower. Meanwhile up top on the second floor, will you discover the other three bedrooms. They're corresponding en suites as well as a laundry room and an extra space that can be converted into an office or a den. Now outdoors, will the place is modest but far from spectacular. Now amenities, they're said to include a screened in rear porch, a patio, a basketball court, and even a separate storage building for all those props and collectibles, Mr. Beast, has no doubt accumulated over the years. Now once Jimmy had completed the purchase of this home, will he begin quietly buying up the surrounding properties. Now some of the people he bought from had lived in this neighborhood for their entire lives. Others had been there for just about a year but the three families that capitalized by selling their home for a combined 1.45 million, well they have now all retired to the beach or elsewhere in the surrounding area. None of them seem to be too displeased over what happened either. Now others however, well they've had more of a mixed reaction when they found out about Mr. Beast going full Mr. Rogers and starting his very own neighborhood. Now once the wider world at large found out about Mr. Beast's brand new town, many of them had thoughts. Now some praise the content creator's generosity, not to mention his genius. Carvigote has own little corner of the planet to share with the people closest to him. Others though they accused him of starting a company town. Now for those of you unfamiliar with the term, well a company town is a place where residential and retail property is all owned by the employer of the people who live there. Now this is criticism that Elon Musk has faced with the recently proposed towns he's building for his Tesla and SpaceX employees which is located out in Texas. These types of settlements they've popped up over the years, generally in the coal, steel and lumber industries. And historically speaking, well they've been found to repress an employee like their working conditions, their rights. So that's why there are some who are now wondering if Mr. Beast is going to stop short by just securing himself an entire neighborhood. I mean what if he wanted to buy an entire state next? Now of course with questions like that being thrown around, well it didn't take long for this entire discourse to become so outrageous that a frustrated Mr. Beast will be responded by suggesting that only he could be cancelled for trying to give people a place to live without any strings attached. Now as far as he's concerned, well Jimmy he was just trying to help and he doesn't understand why what he's doing is being characterized by some is culty. Now one of the people that he wanted to help and who's now living in a home Jimmy bought is his childhood friend and recent headline magnet Chris Tyson. Now Chris has his buddies back just like how Jimmy had his throughout the entire hormone replacement therapy new cycle even if it was a tongue-in-cheek sort of way. Now Chris obviously isn't serious about moving out of his new neighborhood and why would he? Until he starts hearing rumors about how Jimmy is suddenly hiking up everyone's rent while also forcing them to shop at retail outlets he secretly is the owner of. Well what are we really complaining about here? I mean is it any surprise that a man who wants to help the near blind see again might also want to provide for those people who support him the most? I for one I'm looking forward to see what Mr. Beast turns this neighborhood into over the next few years not to mention how it eventually comes to impact the content he creates. Now years from now we might look back at this moment as the turning point in his career for good or for bad. Now until we know for sure I guess we'll just have to wait and find out. I guess that'll bring us to the end of our latest edition of Howe Stores here on Famous Entertainment. Before I leave you guys I do have a question for you. Who's the first person in your inner circle you'd give to home too if you owned an entire neighborhood? I'm sure Cara would have given a house to that dog. So that's what came to my mind actually send some love and support to Cara.


So you just finished building a brand new rig and already for your 12R gaming session.  Tip number one, keep all the boxes of all the components. Number one most obviously is for warranty or RMA claims. If for some reason you run into any issues, most of these shops will require you every bit of plastic layer, every bit of part there, keep them all in one location. Number two is an equally important thing. Some of these components have spare parts in them. For example, AIOs have different mounting hardware for different CPUs and you will need them if ever you decide on changing the CPU. Number three is something that we usually do not think. You will be inevitably upgrading those components. And having the box and complete packaging will net you a better price and most buyers are reluctant to buy a unit only component. So keeping all of these boxes and all the parts in them together in one place will save you a future headache down the line.

I just want to give you a quick heads up when I'm talking in this clip My voice is distorted So I want to make sure you're able to adjust the volume for your ears or whatever make sure they don't hurt But the conversation is too good for you not to hear it So we went ahead and made the clip anyway This is from episode four of no labels necessary the future episodes are just fine audio wise check this out The information is too good to miss This video is just about finesse, but we're gonna flip it in the marketing because everything's marketing Oh Now we're trying to get rich is you got a lot like a real family. It's different They don't even want to say, you know what they're like. They don't got no watches. Hmm, but you gotta like you got it When you walk in there The guy goes to me, huh, you must have connects. Yeah, but I knew I had to connect He said he said to me in order to get on our list You got about three ladies watches exactly. So you got about Well, let me let me tell you why this thing is it's genius It's genius on so many levels. First of all playing hard to get. We know it's just a common You know common marketing strategy Hard to get the exclusivity this thing don't get thrown out at anybody and it can't can't just anybody touch touch it You know, I mean that was my yeah, I don't think it's something else, but The so it's great for exclusivity cool hard to get and then you know, obviously If you add a little luxury the aspirational brand to it But the sauce the biggest sauce That is two-fold number one They said you have to buy three To be able to get it you got you got to get on a list saying we have a list already said Oh, okay, you got list you got about you got about three to be able to get that thing All right, that nice men's piece that is equivalent to the shit the other dudes are flexing Okay, so you already got to give me more money just to give me money. Yeah, I Turned it into a prize. I gamified All right getting my the my peak products, right? But then These fools said you got to get three ladies watches like like no, he said, what if I don't even got no lady still hey Go find them. You got to get three ladies watches. All right Now What do we know about women? Look, I ain't trying to get you I do the alley at the wrong basket Oh, man, I Was going for them as consumers and them as being drivers in the marketplace We know that they're gonna put it out there heavy, right and then There's a sense. I can't even see a lady be like man like You know, he got me some Richards. How come like my friends got Richards How come you don't got me Richard? Right. Yeah, and then you also create a club faster Yeah, right because now you don't just do one purchase. It's multiple So it's one thing if I said, oh, you got to get four but I might keep all four to myself Yeah, but Danny, I'm not gonna wear the women's watch. So I'm gonna get them So now I'm spreading the love to at least one other person Yeah, right and you start to build community that way too. All right. There's just all these little nuances, man You could really break that down, but like what game of fine get exclusivity and then Finding a way to leverage women, which we know are the primary influencer and most market spaces easy easy Cuz like but I'm but I'm marketing the males It's a crazy and we know what male like males Would they get from women to gas the power and it's kind of a flex to like oh shoot You kind of put me in a good position And this I don't even think they thought of this but always look for brand experiences, right?  So I'm getting equity beyond that last Prize, which is the watch that I came for in the first place There's there's so many ways to slice that stuff man. And if you can figure out how you can build narrative story or just Different experience around your product, especially for artists like this is obviously a watch But when you can offer actual product, which I think more and more artists are gonna be doing Beyond their music and create experience like that around it. So it starts to feel like a community. Yeah, man Like that's what I love about this or I love about this pay referral program to pay referral program. Yes Give me some money. So you have the right to give me some more Thinking about it's like man, if you see somebody with it, you know by now knowing all they went to that process Oh, you really got my you didn't just you weren't able to just afford that you afford it for it Like you said at least one of the person possibly out the four Bro, you just nailed it because That scene is that type of watch. Yeah, that's why it's in the records and stuff.  Sometimes it's just the expectations like I expected to pay $5. I wasn't ready for $10 Let me come back in like a few days I wasn't ready for that yet, you know, I remember I went to a place that And I had been wanting to go for a minute And I was with my girl and We pulled up And then they had valet and all this stuff and that and that was the only way to get in I wasn't ready for valet I wasn't in that mindset for a place that was only ready for valet. I can only do that I just wasn't in that mindset. So I was like, nah We'll come back and I went back. It's not like I couldn't or I can't afford or not even at that point. It's just That that gap It changes how you see everything Changes the perspective. So like if I walked in for a richer and I was like, dang, I came in for one But I got about four basically total Yeah, and I think too it kind of speaks on like the overall experience right like they I don't know man I don't know if they thought of it this way if it's a part of psychology But it's like we're gonna start you off with like these two Barriers of negative Negative experiences, right first one being You gotta find out you gotta have the connections to get this shit was in fire pain And you calling around talking to people trying to see who on your circle can get me on to this Wait list right you gotta wait And then you do all that waiting just to find out damn I got about three of these to get one right So like you have the back to back to back negative experiences for to end Well, like you said one you probably had a positive experience having to give it To the women you had to give it to even if it's no like like platonic Like you gave it to your mom or something like your mom's response was probably gonna be crazy, right?   You get a cool. She's like man. It was fun. You know what I'm saying?  It could be like that my daughter so time I'm like, dang well She showed on like she didn't join it and then in the night she's like I don't and somebody'll be like, oh, how was it and she's like that was fun I was like you had fun Your energy did not give me fun energy, but You use the word forget Never underestimate the power of a human to forget, right? Like you give them a new experience So quickly do they adjust we adapt to the new experience man. Homie homeostasis where I was just living in this house All right, you in the new house for a month and it feel like you've been there forever So people wonder Why you can have a new cycle and something's hot on an artist, right? It seems like they about to go under What's going on with kai right now? Don't be surprised if people forget in a year's time Especially and kai is not moving just how how you how you was yeah, because we forget our own experiences Oh, you working that job. I remember I was working this job If I think back it felt like I worked for a year, but I was only working there three months It was a dead beat job when I was in college And once I got out of that experience Things it was gone man gone never happened, bro. Never Wiped it under the rug. So so yeah, man, um like that That is actually like that last Domino and in the scenario you just said man that forgetting this time. He's like, yeah, you go through that pain, but boy Once you get to the top of that mountain boy That rush of adrenaline You don't even you don't realize that they kind of did you dirty, bro?  I'm sorry. I can't think of the word for it That's what that is Exactly what it is, bro That's what it is, man. They they playing with it. So Stockholm Stockholm. There we go. There we go.  I'll see you in the next clip


Here we are zooming into the pinwheel galaxy, M101. This is the largest and most detailed photo of a spiral galaxy that has ever been released from Hubble. The galaxy's portrait is actually composed of 51 individual Hubble exposures, in addition to elements from images from ground-based photos. The giant spiral disk of stars, dust and gas is 170,000 light years across, or nearly twice the diameter of our galaxy. M101 is estimated to contain at least one trillion stars. Approximately 100 billion of these stars could be, like our sun, in terms of temperature and lifetime.


I've been making these videos for well over a year at this point and I can't believe how fast time is flying. And there's one incredibly popular question we haven't really dug in on. Sure we've mentioned it, but we've never actually done a deep dive into the plant paradox and weight loss. And I read the comments, I know how many of you are asking about weight loss. But before we dive in, I've got a question for you. Are there any health topics you'd like to know more about? Just so reply in the comments and let me know what you're curious about. After all, I created this channel for you and I want to make sure you're benefiting from it. So, if there's anything you want to know, go ahead and leave a comment below. And now, let's move on to the main event, today's video, the skinny on weight loss and the plant paradox. I'll start by saying the plant paradox is not a weight loss plan. It's a longevity plan. It's designed to help you live your longest, healthiest life. And for a lot of people, especially here in America, that means losing weight. After all, the vast majority of American adults could actually stand to lose at least a few pounds and most of us can lose a lot. After all, being overweight and obese can have some serious health repercussions, including cardiovascular disease and arthritis to shorten life expectancy. So, even though the plant paradox is not a weight loss diet, it's a tool you can use to reach your healthiest weight and live a long life too. So how can you make the plant paradox work for weight loss? First, like they say in the sound of music, let's start at the very beginning with my kickstart cleanse. It's also known as phase one on my diet. And it's true, it's pretty strict. But it gives you the chance to flush your body of dangerous lectins and bad bacteria. And when it comes to weight loss, that's essential because lectins and bacteria actually tell your body to store fat. So when you flush your body of lectins and gang member bacteria, you're giving yourself a chance at a system reset. And you set yourself up for long-term weight loss success. And good news, phase one is pretty simple. You get to eat loads of greens and cruciferous vegetables, a little wild-caught seafood, plenty of avocado and nuts, and some healthy fats. That leaves you with plenty of delicious options. Check out the recipes here on my channel. Just make sure to skip dairy, meats, roots, and resistant starches for phase one. But don't worry, you'll add them back in as you'll go. After just three days, and ideally a week or so, you get to move on to phase two. Where you get to add in root vegetables, resistant starches like millet and sorghum, A2 dairy, a little grass-fed meat, the occasional piece of in season fruit, and even a glass of wine if you'd like. Now, you can stay on phase two for as long as you like. And if you want to keep losing weight, I encourage you to stay on phase one or two rather than moving on to phase three. Also, if you ever find yourself plateauing in your weight loss, hop back to phase one for a few days. Like I said, it's a kickstart. So it'll give your body the jump it needs. Now, before I go, I want to answer a few common weight loss questions I get every day. But Dr. G, shouldn't I count calories? Good news. If you're truly sticking to the Plant Paradox program, you don't need to count calories. And if you've got weight to lose, you will lose weight. Especially if you're good about filling your plate and your body with plenty of vegetables. And if you make sure to treat things like meat and resistant starches as sides and not the main event. You should be OK, not counting needed. Just make sure you're still using food as a means of getting olive oil into your mouth. Hang on.  Absolutely.  More specifically, you should be eating olive oil, MCT oil, or avocado oil at every meal.  As a matter of fact, there's evidence that healthy fats found in olive oil could actually support weight loss.  If you're sticking to foods that are approved on the Plant Paradox plan, you'll be fine. Is there anything I should avoid? Yes, lectins and sugar. But chances are you're curious about approved foods you should avoid. And the answer is no. But if you're trying to lose weight, there are some things you should only eat in moderation. One is fruit. It really is nature's candy. And I actually suggest that people who want to lose weight avoid eating fruit entirely. But if you're craving something sweet, have a small serving of local in-season fruit maybe once a week. Or have a piece of bittersweet chocolate. Another thing that's worth eating in moderation only, animal protein. I'm talking meat, sure, but also dairy, even approved dairy. And omega-3 eggs. Yes, they're all on the yes list, but you should treat them as a side dish or a treat, not the main course. Also, it might be best to skip huge servings of things like macadamia nuts, which are amazing for your health, but pretty calorie dense. Sure, go ahead and have a few, but leave it at that. For those, I suggest pre-portioning your snacks. Put them in little bags, because they're delicious and addictive. It's hard to stop at one. And remember, sustainable weight loss takes time. And slow, steady progress is fantastic. So don't pressure yourself to lose all the weight as fast as possible. Remember one of my favorite sayings is, weight off fast will never last. Weight off slow, you're good to go. A pound or two a week is fantastic. And the less weight you have to lose, the slower it goes. Now, if you're sticking to the plant paradox plan and you're not losing weight, it's worth talking to a doctor and figuring out if there's an underlying clause you don't know about. But for most people, even though the plant paradox is not a weight loss plan, it's the perfect plan for sustainable health, longevity, and yes, for losing a few pounds.  Because I'm Dr. Gundry and I'm always looking out for you.


I personally really like the assembly. The INCF assembly is not only a research conference, it's a place where a lot of discussions happen. You get training, it's a place where the working groups can develop past practices and standards. The engineering aspect, the informatics aspect of neuroscience are discussed and developed. It's really a community-based discussion forum.


We developed a scheme to reduce the computational complexity of extracting low-lying entanglement spectra from quantum Monte Carlo simulations. This scheme relies on the path integral formulation of the reduced density matrix, which allows us to overcome the exponential growth of computational complexity associated with these calculations. The scheme was tested on the Heisenberg spin ladder with long entangled boundaries between two chains, and our results supported the Lie-Haldane conjecture regarding the entanglement spectrum of topological phases. Furthermore, we explained this conjecture using the wormhole effect in the path integral, and showed that it could be extended to systems beyond gapped topological phases. Simulations of the bilayer-antiferomagnetic Heisenberg model with two de-entangled boundaries across the 2-plus-1-do-3-quantum phase transition confirmed the correctness of the wormhole picture. Finally, we noted that the relative strength of the wormhole effect compared to the edge energy gap determines the behavior of the low-lying entanglement spectrum of the system.
