This study suggests that dromedary camels could potentially serve as a reservoir for methicillin-resistant bacterial strains such as Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus epidermitis. Furthermore, the study found that these strains contained specific esychmic elements, suggesting that dromedary camels could act as a bridge between humans and other animals.

So a little background I'm a dermatology PA. I graduated four years ago and ever since then I've been helping other pre-PA students reach their goals of becoming PA's today I want to break down five tips for interviews now if you get this book There's a lot more than five tips in it in the first couple chapters We go over just kind of how to prepare for interviews tips tricks What the admissions committee is looking for and how to stand out at your interviews It is my firm belief belief That if you get an interview that is your ticket into PA school So the personal statement gets you the interview the interview gets you in It's your one chance to really show the admissions committee What you bring to the table and why they should pick you over everybody else that's there Let's break down some tips to help you get there number one Confidence so this seems like an easy one But I see so many times when I'm helping people practice for PA school that they just lack confidence in their answers If you don't believe in what you're saying The person listening to you won't either and it comes off as kind of shady sometimes Or like you don't know what you're talking about even if you are so nervous what you will be you kind of got to fake it till you make it and Pretend you're confident for at least those 15 or 20 minutes of the interview when you're practicing That's something to keep in mind whoever you're practicing with make sure that they Feel like you are exuding confidence and that you are ready to become a PA student That brings me to number two, which is getting your mindset in the right place So your mindset going into your interview needs to be How can I convince them that I am the best candidate for a spot in this program and that I'm gonna be a great Classmate and a great colleague So in two years you're gonna be a PA just like the people interviewing you and they want people that They can connect with that they would feel confident sending their patience to as referrals and that they Really can see who you are as a person Don't try to give the right answers the right answers correct answers There's not such a thing the reason you're at an interview is for the admissions committee to learn more about you They wouldn't have invited you for an interview if they didn't feel like there was something in your application That stood out that made them want to know more about you so when you're going in just think about relating your answers to How whatever they're asking you about is going to impact you in their class and how you can Bring something to the class. What makes you unique? What makes you different from the person sitting next to you that they may not have just think about it in that way And it may help you to tailor your answers a little bit more which brings me to number three giving thoughtful answers so what this means is you don't want to just give Surface-level superficial generic answers if you could go research it on the internet and find out in five minutes It's probably not a good answer when you're discussing your experience Shadowing or working with PAs you should be telling stories the more stories and examples that you use the better It makes you more memorable. It gives your answers more credibility and it makes you stand out Anyone can go look up the PA profession and tell you it's a great thing Tell you a little bit about it But until you've seen it firsthand and have those personal connections and those personal feelings Associated with why this makes you so excited and what's something that you've worked so so hard for and pursued so so much It just it it makes such a difference in your answer when you actually use those Experiences when you're thinking about your answers using stories and examples, but also Doing something that I call bringing it full circle. You want your answers again to relate back to PA school being a PA That's the main thing if you're telling a story, they don't really just want to hear your story They want to know why it's relevant and why it's important So why does this one specific instance going to make you a better PA student or a better PA? So just think about that when you're saying your answers and again try to make them as complete as possible I think we're at number four at your interview Be positive avoid all negativity. You shouldn't be putting down other professions You shouldn't be dwelling on any red flags or discrepancies You really need to focus on only the positive parts of your application and what you bring to the table And if there is a red flag, let's say a bad grade You want to turn that into a positive talk about what you got out of it and how you improve from it and how that makes you an even better candidate then making excuses or kind of trying to beat around the bush own up to it just be direct and Go from there as far as negativity. I mean, like I said, I don't want to put down any other professions PAs I mean, it's just a different role. It's not necessarily better than doctors or nurse practitioners, but you just want to Smile be positive be confident. Okay. I think we're at number five now interact with your fellow applicants This is something I saw at my own interviews that I thought was really weird Some people would not really talk to anyone else But so much of being a PA and being a PA student is being a great classmate and working as part of a team so you want to show that you are able to get along with others and make friends and some of these other applicants even though your competition may be your classmates and so you don't want to burn bridges there and Just know that the admissions committee. They're watching the entire time and They're watching to see how you interact with others, especially during group activities and panel interviews So I hope that gives you a little insight and again Thanks to Donna for having me if you want your own copy of the PA school interview guide you can get it on Amazon or on www.thepaplatform.com and feel free to email me any questions or Reach out on Instagram.

Hey everybody, welcome back to another installment of A Week in Geekdom and today we're going to be talking Sean Murphy's Batman White Knight part of the DC Black label. Let's do this. Welcome back to the channel, Geo here and yeah, I finally took a crack at this, finally reviewing Batman White Knight in a nutshell. Without over complicating things, this is a story about what happens when the Joker goes sane. You see, after a rather brutal confrontation between the two characters, Joker ingests sort of this, they never really mentioned what kind of drug it was, but sort of this experimental medication where it sort of reverts or it neutralizes his mental condition and we get a sane Jack Napier and what soon follows is a very, very cool interesting take on not only what makes Joker tick, but also his relationship with Gotham City and Batman and how the three of them, how these three elements nurture off each other and when one is thrown out of balance, it, how it affects the cycle and how the city reacts to a sane character. Joker is quite insane of course, for many years we have known this fact.  Well, the character of Jack Napier proclaims himself to be Gotham's White Knight as he is not only going to prove that Batman is a danger to society and a danger to Gotham itself because of his recklessness, because of his actions, because of the concept of a vigilante and he is going to set about a revolution and what I find really fascinating about this book is that Sean Murphy is injecting a lot of social commentary, a lot of tongue-in-cheek references to things that happen in the real world with terminology that, with terminology that I'm not even going to bother mentioning here because it usually brings about some very interesting connotations and discussions that I really don't take part of when it comes to comic book, YouTube and writing, if you get what I mean. But the references are there, you know, from the SJWs to the gatekeepers, all that stuff is thrown into this book. The story of Batman and Joker and Gotham City and all these wonderful characters for many years in my honest opinion has been a very cyclical story. The same things keep happening over and over with little progress and what progress is made is etched out whenever you have a new writer and the story repeats itself again, again, and again. So I like the idea of a black label series that is able to present a story in an alternate timeline, alternate world, an else world if you will and give us a commentary on the nature of this character that for so many years has been fighting the Joker and you come to realize a few things about, you know, vigilantes and their line of work and how truly effective that can be and there have been countless philosophical debates about this, about the nature of crime fighting and, you know, punishing criminals and the justice system and all that stuff. So this book seeks to sort of nudge itself right into that discussion by talking about the collateral damage that the fighting that these two characters are constantly in, how that affects the citizens of Gotham and the repercussions of such destruction because Batman in this book is edgier and grittier than normal. There is a specific reason for that. There is a catalyst causing him to sort of be on edge and I'm not going to reveal what that is because I want you to find out but it makes sense that it would throw him off his synergy if you will.   So I found it freaking fantastic. It had very cool hints of Batman stuff that we've seen before like overall the book just read to me like a proto early dark night returns type story. You even had callbacks to that stuff like when Frank Miller used the news reporters as sort of oracles and explaining and doing the the philosophical questioning and the exposition dumps for the reader here you have it as well with two journalists debating back and forth about you know can we trust this character who was up until recently this criminal this insane criminal can we trust that he has reform and is trying to do good and why should we believe him even though the things that he's saying are actually true like jack goes on this epic speech which was probably one of my favorite parts of this book you know telling sort of how he became deranged his take on how he lost his sanity and the problem that Batman poses for the city and the schemes and laundering and corruption that has taken place in modern Gotham city because of vigilante you know running around in Gotham you see all these politicians and banks and all that stuff are exploiting the city like something out of you know real life that we was that we would see with uh money laundering schemes when it comes to relief funds and all that stuff using Batman as sort of a disaster relief if you will and a collateral and you know they're earning hundreds of millions of billions of dollars doing this and that is one of the things that gets explored in this book i don't want to ruin the surprises because it's eight issues there's a ton of stuff in here that i do think is worthy of another video later on probably like a more uh spoiler-ific in-depth discussion because it is super interesting there's a lot of stuff that Sean sort of tries to reinvent the wheel of sorts when it comes to character origins and motivations and all that stuff also in this book there is a huge unsung quote unquote hero if you've read the book you probably know what i'm referring to this book to me is that character's story and it is probably one of that character's best stories simply for what that character does in the long run when it comes to this book the final reveals in this story are fantastic even though the beginning is very unorthodox because you have the story like i said dealing with politics and the nature of crime fighting and the stance of these characters the end reveal even though it's a bit more fantastical very comic book-esque you know with certain event happening and all these characters going to solve a you know a super villain threat if you will and it's more reminiscent of what we've read before when it comes to superhero comics still the ending of it really puts a spotlight on a certain character and sort of the mediator between the eternal duality of batman versus joker which i thought it was just fantastic i loved it the art in this book top-notch Sean Murphy one of my favorite modern artists he has this lovely scratchy uh manga-esque sensibility that just looks great on paper the way he draws the characters and the facial expressions on the on this book is just fantastic Sean really knocked it out of the park and in my opinion when it comes to his work i think this is probably one of his best works ever you know he's also writing the story and i think he had a good grasp and i do believe this form sort of his own murphy batman verse i'm very much looking forward to reading this side this elseworld's tale of batman if you will where it's not just about crime fighting but it is also a conscious effort to realize that a character like batman running around and doing the things that he's doing can have repercussions in a normal citizens life and how a character is you know he's bat the joker is a bad character he's a bad guy but he through a series of unfortunate events turns out to be a good guy and seeking redemption is a story that a lot of people will gravitate towards and will like so i do wholeheartedly recommend this book if you want something completely out of the norm if you've been falling out of the you know big two craze and you want to go back in or you want to read something different with a beloved franchise this might be the perfect book i i genuinely enjoyed everything from start to finish and the path to jack napier goes through throughout the whole story is fantastic and lovely to read just from a storytelling point it's pretty fantastic you know the book also examines a lot of what makes batman who he is and self examines his rage and frustrations with not only the scourge of god them city with its super villains but on a personal level with obviously dealing with his trauma and how he is trying to mold the people that are close to him in this case nightwing and back girl how he is in his own way trying to set an example and lead in a very troubling time because again there is something unhinged about bruce in this story and it sort of just makes that bat family relation just crack under pressure so it's a wonderful examination of the batman family in a different setting so yeah if you're looking for a fantastic else world's black label series book on dc and you love batman this i think is a must own a must read for your collection i wholeheartedly recommend it and i know i'm extremely late with this practically everybody on youtube has already reviewed the damn book but i don't care i got to it and i and it's fantastic it's a shame that you know there's three different editions for this but i'm comfortable with enough with this trade paper bag have you read batman white knight let me know in the comment section down below and if not recommend me your favorite batman else world

Hello, and welcome to this session on inclusive product development. I'm Marguina Botany, Vice President of Product Design of the Foundation. Last year at Wikipedia, we presented a new product development framework designed to be more inclusive and to result in more equitable outcomes for our users. While our current product development process is already user-centered, there is more we can and must do to improve how we build products that can reach and serve more diverse audiences. As you may recall, the Inclusive Product Development Working Group who is developing this framework is composed of people from the product and technology departments at the Foundation, and they represent the full spectrum of functions that are required in software development. Over the past year, the working group has begun to put its new software development playbook into practice. Seven of our future teams volunteered to beta test this playbook and incorporate it into their typical processes with the goal of providing feedback on what works, what doesn't, and why. The working group has used this feedback to revise and improve the playbook. In our next step, we will be rolling it out to all product teams and to beta test it with technology teams. If you are interested in learning more about product development at the Foundation, you will be sharing a link to a more detailed overview in our session information on the Wikipedia site. So for now, I will turn it over to Jasmine Tanner, a leader of the working group and product manager for the Android team. Jasmine will be speaking to a panel of product managers, designers, product analysts, and engineers, all of whom participated in the beta test. They will be sharing with you some of their experiences in trying to use the playbook in their day-to-day practices. Take it away, Jasmine. Since we last presented at Wikipedia, we've taken the first version of the Inclusive Product Development Playbook ahead seven teams tested out for at least one phase in their product development lifecycle. Testing took the form of teams implementing each step or attempting to implement each step in the playbook where they could and sharing their feedback on if the step was helpful or not clear or challenging. Each month, teams testing the playbook met and shared at least one thing that was helpful and one thing that was challenging. The challenges that we, the working group, could help more immediately with, we did, and the challenges that were a longer-term fix were noted for version two of the playbook, which will be released next week. We have six members from seven teams here to give you a brief idea of what they experienced during the testing process. And the first person we'll hear from is Peter. Okay. Hey, everyone. My name is Peter Pelberg. I work as the product manager for the editing team. You must most likely would have encountered our work most recently through what we've been doing to evolve talk pages to make them easier for people across experiences, experience levels to communicate with one another on Wiki. And so, yeah, I'd say that one of the most impactful things that the playbook has had on the editing team is bringing an extra level of rigor and specificity about who we are specifically centering in the work that we're doing. So we have a practice in history of thinking about target audiences based on things like edit counts and projects they participate in. And I think the playbook has equipped us with both languages and tools to introduce other factors like geography, devices that people are using, the type of their connection, their race, their gender. It's not only equipped us with language to talk about and incorporate these different elements into our product development practices, but also giving us the tools to actually bring those people in. And so a very tangible way that this has showed up in our work is in developing a series of design concepts for the design changes that we're making to talk pages. Something that we did that was different in the past is translated all of the designs that we were making into seven different languages. Excuse me, running central notice campaigns across a variety of wikis to make sure that the people were showing up and reviewing the designs were from a widely representative, you know, widely representative group. So I think that was a really tremendous impact that the playbook has had. And then in terms of challenges, I think it's kind of the flip side of what I just shared is that that process required a lot of kind of like manual work to start. And that makes total sense considering it was really the first time we were doing this kind of work at that scale. And so I think in version two, we're going to see a lot of these kind of common things that different teams needed to do on their own. Probably like codified or centralized in a way that makes us like really gives us as teams a new capacity to involve a whole new range of people inside of our product development practices, not just folks speaking languages that we're most comfortable in. Thanks. You know, Peter, a lot of what you shared about editing as their product manager was helpful to hear about segmentation of different languages. So maybe shaking you drill down on that point a little bit more. Thanks, Jaz. I'm the data scientist for the Android and iOS mobile app teams and the Android team has been working using the playbook. And so I get direct insight all the time about working with the playbook and working without it. The Android team relies on data from users to determine success for new features and help decide where we will focus our design and engineering efforts in the future. Apps generate 2% of all page views on Wikipedia. So the data is perfectly sized for us, but tiny in comparison to the rest of Wikipedia. It's been a great test bed, I think for following the playbook. The biggest advantage of using the playbook has given us the impetus to look deeper. And it gives us many more dimensions of data from our users. We found that in comparison, analyzing all user data together for specific user activity was limiting our insight and leading us to miss important nuances that affected app usability. So we started segmenting users by region and language. And one of the challenges was determining how we were going to break out those segments. And Jasmine led a lot of that research based on user feedback, research from papers written about wiki communities, the potential size of our audience, and where our users are with criteria needs we may be overlooking. And from there we determined our first set of user segments. And I can share a slide from our presentation on building with not for case study. The primary challenge for working with this data has been maintaining foundation standards for privacy and data protection. And this data is anonymized but it means that we have to just be very careful in tracking users, especially from smaller regional groups. Additionally, we only store 90 days of data. So we have to be very thorough about collecting our baseline data while preserving foundation data privacy. And we plan our okay ours at the start of each project explicitly because we learned going along that if we didn't map that out exactly, we would end up at the end of the development cycle without all the data that we needed to compare from start to finish. But we've learned a lot and I think it's been really helpful in our planning and development of what we're going to analyze. This is just applies to any segmented data analysis, it's maintaining data cleanliness and clear delineation across multiple data sets. One of the other advantages as segmentation has revealed bugs and data anomalies that we would never have seen if we weren't breaking the data out into smaller groups. I included some examples of inclusive data utilization that we use we have been analyzing a bunch of different feature developments across six user groups. And one of the tests we conducted was an ABC test for a notification bell. And it was very edifying because we saw different results across these groups. When we first started we weren't sure if we were going to see any differences in these groups, but we definitely did and it helped drive our development further into what we were going to use that most users would adopt most readily and easily. And I am a quantitative analysis analyst but we've also been conducting qualitative data analysis using a quite thorough user survey. And that has been interesting as well we are currently collating all the results from that survey. But we are getting a lot of extra insight that we just never would have gotten if we didn't break out this data into these smaller user groups. Thanks Shay that's really helpful and I know that the community tech team which Natalia is the product manager for they have been doing the work without a data analyst so it would be really or data scientists rather and so it would be really interesting to hear their application of the playbook while not having the luxury that the Android team has of having someone great like Shay. Hi everyone, my name is Natalia Rodriguez and I'm a product manager with the community tech team. And indeed we did have challenges I'll start with those first and then I'll talk about the benefits that the playbook afforded our team. So the challenge we had, as Jasmine said is that we have no data analyst in our team. So those of you who eventually gets read the playbook and you go through the steps, you'll see that a lot of the steps that are part of the best practices for inclusive product development require you to use data to check your assumptions and check your biases against. So we were faced with this playbook that had a set of best practices but we didn't have an analyst, and I think a benefit that the playbook afforded us and all the efforts of having better inclusive practices afforded us was we were able to take our time. So it created space for us to move timelines around and to use our engineers and to use our product managers to step up to the role of analyzing the data. And I'm part of the community tech team and we're the wishlist team. So for those of you who may not be familiar, it's a wishes that we run every year where engage contributors to the platforms can come and propose ideas. And we saw through analyzing the data that for the past six years there's been an under representation of engage contributors that come from Spanish speaking communities and from Chinese speaking, Mandarin speaking communities. So the time that it afforded us gave us the space to then go through the data, come through all the surveys in the past, and then switch our strategy based on that so we can use those users. Just to connect and switch it over just a little bit. Let's go over next to Gergo who also works on a team that here's a lot of feedback from the community. Specifically thinking about newcomers but can give us the perspective from an engineer point of view. Hi, I'm Gergo. I'm a software engineer on the growth team. Our team works on helping the editor communities grow. We focus on the first few week of people's experience when they sign up to be a Wikipedia editor. And we try to give them a good user experience and try to help them find their footing and get familiar with the policies of the site. Which means that we need to, we need both a lot of feedback from the new users point of view because they aren't familiar at all with Wikipedia yet. And then we also need a lot of feedback from experienced users because we help the new users make edits and we need to make sure that these edits do not cause a burden on the established community. And the playbook has been very helpful for us as a generic guide. Currently it contains, I think, something like 50 items which is way more than we could keep in our head. So it helps to make sure that you do not forget anything and it helps to make sure that you can be disciplined. Like, for example, we did think about accessibility before we had the playbook, but we usually started thinking about it in the development phase, which is often too late. And now with the help of the playbook, we can make sure that it's integrated from the start and we consider accessibility during planning and during the design phase. And it also helps to focus efforts because everyone is doing the same thing. For example, the playbook is recommending a pre-mortem. A pre-mortem is a way of thinking in a structured way at the start of how things could go wrong. And there are a number of practical questions of how you structure such a discussion and because every team is doing a pre-mortem now, it's a lot easier for each separate team to figure this out. In terms of challenges, the playbook has a lot of different items, so they are necessarily very short in how they are defined. It wasn't always easy to figure out what, when we should consider something done, whether we have done enough to check it out. And a more specific challenge was around multilinguality. So the playbook recommends multilingual usability testing, which is something we found very helpful because sometimes we get different feedback from different language communities. But it also brought up a lot of practical challenges because that means you need to write mocks in multiple languages. You need to maintain those in parallel. You need to translate the usability testing documentation to other languages. You need to find speakers for every language who can conduct the test and the interviews. You need to translate everything back. So it's pretty involved. And in practice, what we did is we relied on multilingual speakers in the design team, which is not a really scalable approach. So that's something we still need to figure out. Thanks, Gergo. That's really helpful. And to dig even more into the technical point of view, we did have one team that was a back-end team that originally had a product manager and was able to connect the team's work to some front-end user thinking and then through some shifts that changed. And so Desiree has stepped in on that team and to help, you know, the platform engineering team know how to do the application of the playbook and we'll talk more about that experience. Great. Thank you so much, Jasmine. So my name is Desiree Bodd. I'm the director of platform product management here at the Wikimedia Foundation. And I work with a lot of different teams across technology and product in what I call our foundational technologies. Back-end is another way of putting it. But essentially these technologies are what power our sites, Wikipedia, keeping it up and running commons, et cetera. And so without a lot of the work that teams like the platform engineering team, the sites won't run. And so often historically, we never really thought of these technologies as products. And so that's been a real challenge, trying to then say, well, okay, let's plug in some product management to this, which we started for the first time. And now let's adopt this concept of this playbook about how to build these products in a diverse, equitable and inclusive way when we're just starting to think of them as products. And so we had a few key challenges as a team kind of rolled through this. The first was making sure we had the right roles and functions and building the connections into the community and thinking of our work as products. So many engineers, for example, struggled to think about how would something like an API, which we're building for many different internal teams and the movement and the community and tools be thought of as a product. And so we were trying to go through the playbook and we're not a feature team. So oftentimes the typical things that you would think of for features, usability testing, et cetera, we had to translate them a little bit in order to make them relevant and digestible to the team. And so some of that included shifting the way we were thinking about the products. And so this was a real benefit in the team where we started to say, what are the dominant languages that people are using? How do we make APIs language agnostic? How do we think about service and performance for different users across the world? And how do you guarantee that? How do you build so that everyone has equitable access? And so it was a really different way of thinking that we had to start looking through the work instead of just saying we built an API and it's done and it meets a specific use case. We actually had to balloon out our thinking quite a bit to think about how do we make this that we can use for many different use cases and that the movement consume more readily and more easily instead of just for a specific product or feature that we're trying to develop. And so it's a muscle that we've been building and we've had ups and downs through the process. Some of it, a lot of it has been this translation and I think we're going to keep going through this translation journey of what is equity? How do we think about applying the playbook and the scope of our technical and technology products? Thanks, Desiree. That's really helpful and definitely something we'll continue to work on and I'm excited for us to all continue to partner to move that forward. And so the last person that we'll hear from here is Alex, who will share the perspective from a design standpoint and who has been working on a really big project and also applying the playbook at the same time, which I think is a really big feat. So Alex, can you share what that has been like? Yes. Hello everyone and thank you Jasmine. I'm Alex, the designer on the web team and as Jasmine mentioned for the past two or so years, we've been working on Vector 2022, which some of you are probably familiar with. So yeah, I'm excited about the playbook. I'm proud to say that prior to the playbook, our team was already somewhat focused on testing in multiple languages, testing with people in multiple parts of the world, and also focused on accessibility to a certain extent. However, these focuses weren't particularly formalized in terms of process. They were sort of things that were important to individual members of the team, not necessarily something we would formally plan around, or yeah, have kind of a systematized approach to. So I think those are two clear areas that stand out to me that the playbook has helped us with. Prior to using the playbook, we were testing things in maybe like three languages on average. And our most recent feature we tested in six or seven different languages. And part of what has enabled us to do that again is the playbook and then planning ahead of time, which has helped us to build sort of tools specifically in terms of how we build prototypes and make those prototypes available in multiple languages to streamline some of that process. As Gargo was talking about, it can be overwhelming to prepare mock ups in so many different languages. So we've actually switched to using prototypes that use the Wikimedia APIs and allow us to do that a little bit more easily. And then on the accessibility front, Bernard, who's an engineer on our team, has kind of taken the cues from the playbook and started to set up some automated accessibility tests. And I know he's also working to get a sort of consultant or expert reviewer to come in and work with us on accessibility stuff. Again, these things have been prompted by the playbook. So, yeah, it's been exciting and interesting for sure in terms of open questions and potential improvements for the future. One of the things that came up in our team review recently is actually that there are a lot of different accessibility standards available online. And even within accessibility standards, there are various degrees like AA, AAA, etc. that you can adhere to. So I think we wanted to clarify what the sort of exact guidelines are that we want to be following. And then the second thing we talked about is potentially having better integration with the knowledge gaps, which is coming from the research team, specifically the technical fluency knowledge gap. We have found in our user testing that there's quite a range of technical fluency and that sort of variation leads to different needs that people have. And so we're wondering how to better build that as a dimension into the playbook and have it be something that we explicitly call out when we are developing and testing features. Thank you. Thanks, Alex. That's really helpful. Now that you have heard from us, we would like to hear from you. Please share with us in the etherpad, which has also some helpful links based on some of the things that the panelists have shared here. What barriers you have had to overcome when engaging with our projects and what tools would have been helpful to you to overcome those barriers. We're hoping to take those use cases and apply it to the playbook before sharing version two of the playbook next week for all of the teams in product and technology to test against. Thanks again for joining the panel and thank you to all of our panelists.

So let's see what we can do with evaluating logarithmic expressions. And so all of these go back to the same basic definition of logs and exponents, which is, again, if I ever have a to the power n equals b, I can immediately write log to base a of b is equal to n. And so these two things mean exactly the same thing. If I ever see one, I can immediately write down the other. So this also means that the exponent is the log. And so many of the rules of exponents can apply also to the rules of logarithms. So let's take a look at this. This is log of, say, we want to find log to base 5 of 25 times 125. And so I'll give a name to this. I'll let x be this thing that I want to find. And importantly, I want to use the definition of logarithms to rewrite this equation. So let x be log to base 5 of 25 by 125. And my definition, a to the power n equals b if and only if log to base a of b is equal to n. So I'll compare my logarithmic expression with what I have. And that tells me my base is 5. Log to base a, log to base 5, a is 5. b, the thing I'm taking is the log of the argument 25 times 125. And n, the value of the log, is going to be my unknown x. So I can rewrite my expression 5, that's my base, to power x. The exponent equals 25 times 125. So again, a is 5, that's my base. My exponent is n, my exponent is x, and my power, the thing that is equal to the exponential expression, is 25 times 125 is equal to this. So now what do I know? Well, I can go over the powers of 5 to make the comparison easier. I want to rewrite everything so that I have an exponential expression with the same base. So 5 squared is 25, and 5 cubed is 125, so I'll use that. And I do have the rules of exponents. I'm multiplying two things with the same base, so I'll add the exponents. 5 to power 2 plus 3, I'll do the hard work of the arithmetic, that's 5 to the fifth power. And so that tells me, comparing my two expressions, 5 to power x is the same as 5 to power 5. And that tells me that x and 5 must be the same thing. And so that x is 5, and again, since x is log to base 5 to 25 times 125, then I know this is going to be equal to 5. How about a different one, log to base 4 of 4 over 32? So again, I'll let x be log to base 2 of 4 over 32, and I'll use my definition of logs to rewrite the equation. So again, my definition of logs, a to power n equals b, gives me log to base a of b equals n and vice versa. So a is my base is 2, b, my argument, 4 over 32, and the thing the log is equal to is x. And so now I can write this, a to power n equals b. That's a to the power n equals b, 2 to the power x equals 4 over 32. From this, I have this. And I can now write everything as powers of 2. So 4 is 2 to the second 32. I can figure that out. It's going to be 2 to the power 5. And so I have 2 to the x equals 2 to the 2 over 2 to the 5. I can apply the rules of exponents, 2 to the power 2 minus 5. And that gives me 2 to the power negative 3. And again, a comparison of the two expressions, 2 to the power x, 2 to the power negative 3. They are the same thing. They are equal. So that tells me x and negative 3 have to be the same. And again, x is log to base 2 of 4 over 32. So that tells me what log to base 2 of 4 over 32 is. Well, since this is base 10, we have to use differential calculus to expand the right-hand side using a power. Well, actually, we can do this exactly the same way we've done all the other logarithmic problems. This is base 10. It doesn't matter what the base is. I can let x be this expression. And I want to use my definition of logarithms to rewrite the equation. So base is 10. Argument 10 to the power 500. x is the log, is the exponent. So that gives me 10 to the power x equals 10 to the power 100 to the power 50. That's 10 to the second to the power 50. And I'll use my rules of exponents again. That's 2 times 50. That's going to be 100. And so that tells me that x is 100. x is the log. And so I have this value.
