Hey there friends, how's it going? My name is Kevin and this video is sponsored by Honkai Impact 3rd. If you want to check out the game, there will be a link in the description. They're celebrating their largest release of the year with many rich activities, including the release of the new character Mei and new summer skin outfits of Lilia and Roselia. I think they're kind of copying my style, but that's fine. In the new update, you can get a cool summer skin for free, and of course, as mentioned, Mei, the Queen of Thunder will also appear in the new version. Much like me, she no longer has to repress her power and is willing to fight against the world in order to protect her relationship. I actually played a bit as Mei, and I have honestly never felt like such a strong independent woman. Like, look at that, I'm summoning a dragon! And of course, here are the new summer skins I mentioned earlier. I feel like it's a fashion show, but hosted by someone who knows nothing about fashion. But in the new version of the game, these two skins are available along with the new character, and many, many activities to take part in as well. As I mentioned, you can get one of the skins for free, and speaking of free, the game is also free to download in the description if you want to check that out. Thank you very much for the sponsor, thank you for watching, and enjoy the video. Today we're playing Dude Stop. I have been requested this a lot, specifically from one person in my comments, who comments just on every video asking for it. I misunderstood, I thought he was just saying, Dude, stop making videos, but I looked into it, and for once, that's not what the person meant. I just get it a lot. So dude, let's start. Let's start to stop. Dude, we'll start playing Dude Stop, but I won't stop, I'll be starting. There we go. That was clear. Just follow my instructions and all will be fine. Oh, we're already off to a troublesome start. I'm not good at following instructions at all.  I'm playing with things already. The narrator's gone away somewhere and I'm just smashing stuff for no reason. Hi, hello. I took his bookmark out. There we go. This is like modern art. It's to signify the waves in our lives and you know what? It doesn't matter. I already see how you're going to ruin everything, laugh with me, and then read a walkthrough online just to find the best way to be the worst. Oh, trust me, I don't need a walkthrough. It just kind of naturally happens. Game over. Thank you for playing. Wait, am I too harsh on you? But no, I can't even get the video to 10 minutes. I think he overreacted. He's given me another chance. Yippee.  You can't even get mad at me at this point. Like, it's your own fault. You saw what I'm like as a person and you're like, yeah, I'll give you another chance. What? You don't have enough pieces. What? I don't have enough pieces. I have peace. I have one piece. I don't think I can complete this. I'm not sure why my person thought they could. I think a one piece jigsaw puzzle is just a picture. It's like buying a painting and then taking out the box and like, ah, another jigsaw completed. Let's start simple. Oh, so this is a hard puzzle for you. Yeah, that's why I'd be better off just for one piece jigsaw puzzles. I can't even put the stamp within the lines. Go on. Give it a little push. Of course. That's the wrong way. Look, Domino's is hard. I've never played before. You can't just expect me to know how to play. Choose a fun. Comic Sans. Oh, yes. This is your last chance to be good. Am I taking a picture? I am a narcissist. I only want a selfie. How do I rotate it? Film it. That's a photo. Yeah, if we put them all together, we'll make a video. That's how I even record my videos. It's just a series of screenshots. I've not figured out how to actually record yet. Uh, please don't upload it anywhere. Are you talking about my video? Because I understand. I get feedback like that on all my videos before I upload it. Even YouTube itself alerts me. Please, please don't upload this. Oh, I know this. I know fashion as socks and sandals is so in right now, not socks and sandals. There you go. You are ruining my game. If I'm ruining your game, don't give me a participation trophy. That's like the highest level I've achieved in my life. So to me, that's the ultimate prize. Test to see how old you are. It's a bit of a personal question for a game. Which of the following is correct? Well, that is an easy one. I watched a YouTube video on it and it proved that it's flat. Um... Yeah, the sun revolves around me as I am the center of the universe. Done? Here are your results. You failed. What? You need to fact check. I've got a video to send you. It is three views and comments are disabled, but it proves the earth is flat. I got the low wage cop. You're loving it. I don't care if I get low wages. I don't want to travel anyway. I don't want to risk falling off the edge of the earth. Why is it making me retake the test? There's no reason. You'll just fail again. I'm going to blast through this thing. It's multiple choice. So I'm doing my strategy that I did in school and just picking the second option every time. See? It's great to pass. Thank you. Now let me throw my hat around. What do I get? I get more hats. I don't think this was worth all the student debt. All right, I'm allowed advanced now. Fantastic. What are we doing here? You've probably seen it in the trailer, right? And the gift on the end. The green is on the left. Sorry. I'm such a good person. I do not see color. Hey, you dropped one. No, I dropped five. You're failing my test. The only thing I can actually test someone on. Can you count to five? All right. I have cut pizzas before. Okay. I'll split it in half. There we go. This is my half and this is your half. Oh, wait. I'm sharing with even more people.  I'm hungry. There we go. There's a slice in there, technically. You know like in a restaurant after food kids get crayons to draw? Well, your job is to put it all back. Okay. This one's actually rigged. The crayons do not fit inside of the case. Ah, that way. Okay. I see now. Yeah. These tests are hard. You just cleaned the mess that I made. Why are you laughing at me?  Look at these smiley faces. You wouldn't want to make them sad, would you? Okay. Come on. This is their own fault if they don't move out of the way. I'm giving them enough warning. That was their own fault.  That was in water. That was lemon juice. Oh, you finished all puzzles. Let me prepare the stage. Oh, what have I done? I've won. I've won something finally. This person is going to receive some special trophy tonight. Hey, why are you writing special like that? Look, look. I hope I ruined it for you. Dude, I've played like every Harry Potter game like 17 times. You're not going to spoil anything for me in the Harry Potter universe. They should match. Okay. Oh, Jesus. Okay. Why does it make me repeat everything? I never do it better. I only do it worse. Where is the one I need to put into something? Look, it's in the green one. We sorted. Oh, for fuck's sake. Okay. All right. Hold on. Hold on. We're getting there. Hold on. You did it. You can be good after all. So I made a trophy for you. Oh, you made a trophy. Except that I didn't. Well, you seem like the problem now. Maybe I'm the competent one here. Oh, no, that's not how Lego works. Sorry. There's my very own trophy.  Put the cat in the water. Wash the cat. He's dirty. Cats don't like water. Oh, now you tell me. I ran after soaking him for about 30 seconds. Oh, I dropped the cat. I thought they were always supposed to land on their feed.  Well, good.  Try to use a cat in a sentence. I can't. I cat very good. But I think that was good enough. Now describe the cat situation. Stupid. He fell over. Lesson three, domestic animals. Nope. I think I'm going to get put away for animal abuse.  The dog is freaking out and I'm making the owners throw a lot of things at it. It's been a full day and night cycle and he's just nonstop barking and he's got a lovely smile on his face. Green. Context. What else is on the table? I dropped the cat in glass. The dog is in the kitchen. Keeps smacking a fridge. There we go. I'm getting better at this game. I always excel the second time I take it. What do cats think they like? I open the door for the cat and then just chucked it out the window. For you, from life. If recent events are anything to go by, it's just going to say feck off. Boom, lemons all over your life. And my life gives you lemons. Chuck them all over the floor apparently. The dog was having a blast.  Yeah, sure looks like it. Ah, yes. This was a triumph. I'm making a note here. Huge success. It was like, can you name one success? Oh my God. I'm moving on from taking care of the pets to disarming bombs. Ta-da! Surprise language chest. How do you pronounce it? Geif. The bomb just immediately explodes. Cut it. Just let it charge. That's enough. That'll get me through the day. I don't need that 0.1%. I'm giving you one last chance.  I'm super serious. I think the narrator is going to have an aneurysm or something. Yeah, he's getting very upset. I'm just trying to take pictures of the cat. He's getting... Doc? Why did you say to me that was Doc, right? The duck is activated. What is the duck? That is a cat. God, I was about to say, I think a fistfight is broken out here, but I don't think they have fists, so I'm not sure what's going on here. I see. Step on a crack. Break your mother's back. Get him. Get him. Come on. You made me this way, mother. Okay. You should see all the debug buttons. Oh, you can see all the debug buttons. Don't touch anything unless I tell you to. I mean, please don't touch anything. Now, press duck options. Press duck options. Oh, FLV. Yes. I want to boost that up. I am a pro gamer and I always put my FLV up to maximum. Let's enable microtransactions for a sense of pride and accomplishment. Flip the screen and add some blur for no reason. Okay, we're good. You see the blue one? Blue. Click it. I mean, that's confusing as is. Just click the blue one and that's this blue. This is in blue. So I got it wrong, but I mean, to be fair, that one I think anyone could have got wrong. Where's the field of view and the blur and the microtransactions? I was promised microtransactions. Oh, finally, a microtransaction. I get the Mona Lisa. Let me sign it to increase its value. I'm a YouTuber, you see. My reward is a smelly shoe, which coincidentally is probably the value of the Mona Lisa now that I've drawn all over it. All right. I think destroying a priceless work of art is a good place to end it. It is peak dude stop, I think. This game is a wacky one. I enjoyed it. I just like making people frustrated, even if they're fictional, a disembodied voice. It doesn't matter. It just, it soothes me. But I hope you enjoyed the video. Dude, please stop not watching my video. Sorry for the double negative there. I don't mean to be confusing. Just I post every day. All right. Come on, please join me. But yeah, I post every day. I stream over on Twitch as well if you want to check that out. But that's about it for today. I appreciate you watching. I hope you enjoyed and I hope to see you next time. Bye for now.


Well hello and welcome to Understand Men Now. I'm Jonathan Asley of JonathanAsley.com and I'm so excited to be shooting this short video for you today. Our topic, never chase a man. Do this one thing instead. You got to do this one thing instead, okay? Really quickly, if the content here resonates with you and you like some support, check out my link to my VIP group. This is a group where you get to ask me questions, direct me directly, directly on a regular basis and I shoot three videos a week for those members who shoot questions. You can learn all about it in the link in the VIP group. Alright. We're going to talk about don't chase men do this instead. You know, it's interesting. I'd say over the years, I've worked, I'm working with a number of clients right now, but over the years, I've heard the same thing from a series of, we'll call them smart, strong, successful, confident type of women, very successful in their professional life. They have a habit of choosing or they have chosen beta males in the past where they were doing all the work in relationship and they practically had to chase the guy. That's number one type of woman. Or there's a different type of woman who doesn't feel secure in the relationship, who is chasing the man in the relationship to get him to love her, okay? In fact, sadly here, especially in the United States, we've adopted this philosophy as I need you to love me for me to feel good about myself. Let me ask you, while I know you don't believe that for yourself, is it quite possible you've ever acted that way in relationship? If the answer is yes, please post a comment in below. I want to hear about it because this is very common for those of us who have had childhood wounds and traumas that have been unresolved in our lives. Let me repeat, those who have childhood wounds and traumas or adult traumas literally need someone else to love them to feel good about themselves. This is why when I wrote my book, What the Heck Is Self Love Anyway, I'm a recovering codependent. In other words, I'm going to own my truth right now, right here. I'm one of those guys that needed you to love me to feel good about myself. And it took a lot of work on myself. This is why when I wrote my book, here it is, see Jonathan Asley, I recounted my personal development story where I went through personal development, self-help and spiritual work to get to a place where I'm not chasing a woman either.   And I said this in a previous video, but I like what Matthew Hussey says. I think Matthew Hussey is great. If you like Matthew Hussey, please post a comment below. I think he's, now my demographic is midlife after baby making years before retirement.  That's my area of expertise because I've been through alimony, child support, visitation rights, and all the dysfunction of midlife crisis. But what Matthew recently said was, invest and test, invest and test.  But you're traveling roughly at the same speed.  Never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever do that. Do this one thing instead. And that is to not only lean into your sovereignty of yourself love, but this is learning the mechanics to a healthy, happy relationship. And this is setting your standard. What is your standard for relationship? And I want to ask you this question. So I'm going to say it really slowly. Let me reframe this. This is the question I want you to ask of every guy going forward. I want you to ask this question and that is, quotes, what does commitment look like for you? What does commitment look like for you? Now, before you ask him this question, I want you to buy the book Eight Dates by Dr. John and Julie Gottman, Eight Dates. Look at, there is chapter after, let me just read you some of the chapters here. Eight Dates, Lean on Me talks about trust and commitment, addressing conflict, sex and intimacy, the cost of love, working money, family, fun and play, growth and spirituality and dreams. Here, look at that.  This will set your stage because you don't ever have to chase a man. You just set your standard instead. Now, here's the thing. The wrong guy, he's going to run away, but the problem with him running away is you see this as leaning back and that means you've got to do the same thing.  Don't do that. The guy who runs away, let him run away. He's not into you enough. The guy you want is the guy who's going to lean into relationship and he's going to lean into your standard. So first, you have to learn what your standard is, buy this book to learn your standard. You may want to check out Gary Zuchoff's book, Spiritual Partnership as well. Here, Spiritual Partnership. Spiritual, learn your standard. What it is that you want in relationship, what does commitment look like for you? Then you can ask him, what does commitment look like for him? Now, here's the struggle.  They are absolutely clueless. Now, there is 10 to 15% of men who are crystal clear. They know they want a relationship. They want commitment. They are on the path. The vast majority are clueless. This is why when you set your standard, this is your watermark. If he doesn't reach your watermark, if he's here, bye-bye because you're seeking a relationship where it's a two-lane street. You're going at it at the same pace, give or take. And when you set your standard, you're setting the pace. All right. I want to hear from you. What do you think about this? Is this sinking in? Is this resonating with you? Because I want you to shift from this narrative of chasing to investing and never chase a guy and never invest more than he's investing with you. Can you make a deal with me? I want you to write a comment. Do we have a deal? Post it right there. All right. I hope you found value from this video and I'm going to wrap up this video as I always do.  I'm going to reach into the camera and give you a hug of love if that's okay. I'm going to ask you to turn to someone or a pet or even grab a teddy bear and give it a hug of love right now because hugs are a great source of love. And quite frankly, we could all use a lot more love in our lives. I want to thank you so much and wishing you a super duper wonderful day. Bye-bye now.


Doing something a little different today. I got a question for you guys. It's a little game and I asked at the end of the video. So make sure you put your answers in the comments below and let's see how this goes. Oh, what's up everybody? Once again, it's brand man, Sean. And we are talking about the fact that Lil Wayne is dropping another project. I'm telling you here is I know it. How you know that, bro? Well, first of all, I just feel it in my bones. The fact that he hasn't dropped music in so long, he finally got to put the Carter five out. We all know Lil Wayne is somebody who was always a high volume recorder and a high volume music dropper. He pretty much innovated that space. I think he's going to pull an Eminem and drop a kamikaze. The only difference, of course, is the Carter five wasn't trash. But this little hunch I had turns out to be true, at least from what Manny Fresh is saying. I was listening to the radio the other day and I swear he mentioned the fact that Wayne is going to be dropping something else. If you don't know, Manny Fresh actually worked on the Carter five. I don't know when the work happened, but he did the song that has a shanty on it. The last time we worked on the Carter, what a lot of people don't know, we got probably 13 songs. We dumbed it down to two. We did that like in three days. So the chemistry still left still crazy. Dude is just like, let this ride and you could put those songs out. So the world will get to hear Manny Fresh Carter. You know what I'm saying? Now, Manny Fresh says they got some more songs that'll be dropping, but I'm pretty sure that Lil Wayne is probably going to drop a serious bomb. Now this is just all speculation for me right here. But I think it's going to be some hard songs that come out. We say Kevin M came back with Kamikaze and those were way better than the songs on rehab. Ooh, I can't even remember the name of the deck on. Project Revival. Anyway, that's kind of our subject. I don't think Lil Wayne has to really worry about redemption, but still just being out the game so long to pack a punch, to really hit us hard, it just seems like it makes sense. So I would expect something sooner than later. I would not expect it to be another six months before we hear Lil Wayne music. It's probably going to get a good amount of attention. I don't know why people were surprised that Lil Wayne's project did so good. Yeah, there were ads and flows and there's a lot of false starts. But at the end of the day, there were two, maybe even three big contributing factors to why I just knew that had to do well. Wayne Lil Wayne had a lot of intention on him because he was the goat of his error. He had that period where everybody wanted to see what he had going on. So when you stop that, that means there's a lot of people who knows who he is and they just want to get an update on what's going on. They don't even necessarily want to actually hear great music from Wayne. You have those core fans, but there's a lot of people who are just going to want to see. And then you added all this drama around it. Birdman, lawsuits, all of this stuff somehow turned an overdog into an underdog again. So now you have people rooting for him to win in ways that you typically wouldn't have for an artist at that level. But that's a whole other video. I'll get into that later. What do you guys think? How long do you think it'll be before Lil Wayne drops more music? Let's get that discussion going in the comments because I want to see after he drops more music, who got the closest to that number? Anyway, if you liked this video, go ahead and hit that like button. If you like it, mind's well, share it. And if you're not subscribed, you know what to do. Hit that subscribe.


We always see a statue of a man on a horse with a sword or we see a lion with his foot on a shield. But when you come into New York Harbor and you see the symbol of America, it's a lady with a torch of hope and a torch of freedom. That's why we call her Lady and we refer to her later because she's not a statue to us. The Statue of Liberty was a gift from the people of France to the people of America in 1886. She represents their shared ideals of liberty, freedom and equality. Now, enshrouded by a maze of scaffolding, Miss Liberty is getting a complete refurbishment from pedestal to torch. Next 4th of July, to commemorate her 100th anniversary, Liberty will be re-dedicated. Among many rejuvenating measures designed to repair the ravages of a century and ensure Miss Liberty's long-term survival is a protected coating for her superstructure. The coating originated in NASA research on corrosion-resistant materials at the Goddard Space Flight Center. Liberty's designer, French sculptor Frédéric Auguste Bertolde, once boasted that his creation would last as long as the pyramids of the Nile. To ensure a very sound inner framework for his statue, Bertolde went into partnership with Gustav Eiffel, well-known for his Eiffel Tower. Attached to the four main chylons that act as spinal cords, is boxed secondary framing comparable to a rib cage. And attached to this framing are armature bars, which in a sense act like tendons and ligaments to support Liberty's exterior copper skin. The man responsible for restoring the statue's interior maze of framework, Victor Strauss. When the paint manufacturers came out and looked at the statue, they all said, we don't know how you're going to get it clean to accept the coatings. But the American technology is still on top. And NASA had a coating that when we tried and experimented, they all exceeded all the other coatings. And it's interesting that the coating that NASA used, which I understand was used on the gantry to take off for our spaceship, is being used now to help and preserve freedom, the symbol of freedom for all Americans. Dr. John Shut of the Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, explains the reason for the inorganic paints development in 1971. At that time, it was a spin-off of our work directed toward the development of coatings to protect spacecraft from the rigors of the space environment, ultraviolet light and electron and proton showers. The inorganic paint consists of a water-based silicate binder to which zinc is added. After a section of the statue's main supports is cleaned down to the bare metal, the quick-drying paint is applied layer by layer. Aside from restoring the statue's interior framework, there are many other phases of reconstruction to be considered. Liberty's interior copper skin will be clean and it seems received to improve weather resistance. The statue's overall structure is in the process of being re-portified by replacing hundreds of interior armature bars which support the copper skin. The 20-foot spikes along Liberty's crown, representing the world's seven continents and seven seas, will also be replaced. And finally, a new torch is being constructed by a team of French workmen skilled in the nearly lost art of metal shaping called Repose. The restoration effort for Miss Liberty was initiated in 1980 by a French-American committee spearheaded by Chrysler chairman Lee Iacoco. Funds come from thousands of Americans. NASA's Space Technology helping to preserve a symbol of America's heritage.


Yo, what's good everyone Nick Smith is back. Welcome to a new episode of the Indiana Pacers my GM series we uh, we ended the last episode looking at trades and Looking at trades pretty much for the boy Monte Ellis. He's a guy that uh We we're paying him a bit. We're paying him a bit of money 10 million dollars and it just goes up and up and up and up and then he's on that 11.69 million dollar contract on a player option so he can decide if he wants to come back or not in 2018 But I don't know about I don't know about keeping Monte Ellis anymore All right, and a lot of you guys in the comment section were telling me to trade him so I got my phone out I Got my phone out right now and I was Looking at some comments that you guys That you guys wrote in the comment section about plays that you think I should get so number one I'll try and get it on the camera if I can I don't know if we'll focus, but I think it will it's a pretty good camera should be able to focus Anyway, it says trade Monte Ellis for Derrick Rose Make Derrick Rose like a play that he used to be so I can MVP type player make him have a fresh start I don't know if you can see it. Let me let me let me let me do this every Bradley I don't know if that'll focus, but uh an every Bradley trade. So let's look at some trades First off for D Rose. No, let's look at every Bradley first because every Bradley's he got a one-year contract I don't know if he is but let's take a look real quick. I don't know if the computer Why don't I don't know why it's making so much noise, but he's not even on a one-year contract. He is just He's just a player that are you guys obviously want me to get George Hill see Jen Mars Mars Turner. All right, so let's offer a trade for Monte Monte Ellis Now what would happen here? Wow? It's just not gonna happen man. It's just not like one and a half stars. That's what he's worth to the Celtics and He's worth like you can choose any team, but the bulls he's worth two stars of the bulls.  All right, it's not gonna happen Because I don't want to give up hold George obviously As of now, I don't want to give up the manual The man was not worth is anybody worth anything. Okay two stars for CJ miles But none of these guys are actually worth anything to the to the Celtics right now Apart from miles turn, but he's a guy that I'd like to keep so um Yeah, I don't think that there's gonna be any trades for Favoury Bradley involving Monte Ellis, unfortunately, but yeah But obviously the next guy there was actually a few trades. Oh, he's injured Damn, man My company's injured because this one that I mean he's shooting stats actually not very good He's driving laps decent and we know about his ball handling and how about his defense. It's pretty good 85 pick and roll defense, but we can't even get Mike Conley anyway So the next guy was obviously Derek Rose now Derek Rose. He's interesting because he can't shoot at all But we know about that athletic ability, but in 2k he only has an 83 layer He does have the good ball control and and his hands, but what does hands do in 2k like Does it actually do anything? I don't know about that. What I do like about D roads Obviously the speed acceleration vertical is really really high um, I reckon I reckon we try D rose out but the problem is I Can we try Derek Rose out now for all the guys that don't want me to trade Montailles for D rose I Can understand why? D rose is on a it's on a much bigger contract than Montailles The thing about D rose is that he's 27 Montailles is 30 They both can't shoot like they both have the same standing shot three I guess Montailles has a 77 mid-range D Rose has it has only a 66 But Derek Rose makes up for it with his you know athleticism and his speed And Obviously they play different positions But I just don't want this contract by Montailles for three years and on a player option Whereas D rose he's on it. He's on a two-year contract and We can trade him if we don't like him Whereas with Montailles, we don't get as much back for Montailles as we would get with Derek Rose So that's pretty much the rundown on what I want to do But I still don't even know if we can make a trade go through because of the contract situation But let's say we will take Why not why don't we just get? Like just one of those guys that isn't worth anything, right? We will give you la voyale and And Mike Miller so we can free up some cat space a little bit of cat space right here As you can see a lot of our players don't have a lot of cat a lot of As a big salary that's what I'm trying to say So we have obviously pulled George on a pretty big salary Kenneth for what he does a pretty big salary, but I it's all it's okay. I guess George here like George you'll have to probably be Do you run George your backup like I think that's what we're gonna have to do But I guess we'll have to see what happens even if we can get this trade to go through We'll take Tony Snell and So then after that will give you two second round picks. What do you say to this? Wow? The trades gone through That's crazy to me, but Trades gone through man. We got D roads. He's an Indiana Pacer. It's a fresh start as the guy said in the comments Fresh stuff for Derek Rose teaming him up with Paul George and Kenneth Farid It's it's a trade I am willing to have and it moves George Hill to the backup point guard position You know, it's gonna be exciting playing with Derek Rose D rose is a definitely a good starter now We're gonna have to see how he plays and what he stat line is like and and how he plays are you know on the simulation side of things because Yeah, now I kind of want to improve the team chemistry a little bit It's it's not like a 61. I think 62 team chemistry So you can expect a few games that we're gonna lose Um But I know that we just got rid of a power forward that does mean that we can run Danny Grange at the powerful position now Let's just play the play the Detroit Pistons and let's see if we can get some wins. We're actually looking all right We've got two games in a row And of course we get into some Some pause It always happens man, I just try and simulate a few games and then it has to pause. All right Scanning is looking okay, but you know, I I'm not really too keen on the scanning at the moment. We actually know we do have a good pick Yeah, we have a pretty good pick. How wait, I got us. I got it. We got three wins in a row four wins in a row and Kenneth Farid is happy Okay, man. I'm happy. I adjusted the training as well to team chemistry I think I think having good team chemistry makes a huge difference in my GM Hey, I want to let you know that the game against the Nuggets really made me feel good about being here now I'm thrilled to be a member of this team cuddle the player. He goes up to a hundred morale. Let's go man Let's go and I can't even see to my headphones are in the way We get a win up against Denver as well. I'm gonna move these I got some new headphones, but like a headset thing, but I don't really I'm not gonna wear that and And Yeah, I might wear it for editing. I think but We we're winning games now five in a row this Derek Rose trade people. It's the Derek Rose trade I'm telling you my tailors. He wasn't winning us get now. I'm gonna see Derek Rosa stats. Okay. I gotta force Okay, let's pause this right now Miles Turner. Yeah, okay. I actually got a chance that because I made his training very very high Um Miles Turner. Yeah, you're gonna go down to a medium because you're exhausted right now But for those that don't know because well, you don't know because I haven't told anyone this but I'm going away For about four days So I gotta make four videos to schedule for the for the four days that I'm away. So For whatever you guys post in the comment section. I won't be able to like No Like I'll read the comments, but I won't be able to change it up on 2k So like if you comment change someone's number in this episode I won't it won't be changed for the next four episodes because I'm not playing 2k I've already played the games and stuff and we are winning games right now at 28 and 18 Paul George is happy with his teammates. This Derek Rose trade made us a whole ton better And it's also because I increased the team chemistry called of the player Wow You only went up one. I coddled you bro. Maybe he's not a coddle type of guy Maybe doesn't like to coddle him But yeah, I kind of want to play up against it up against the pistons. We lose the nuggets I I'm getting I'm guessing we're gonna lose to the cats, but what I'm gonna do in The next much in episode you're gonna see a game up against the pistons then you're gonna see a Oh, actually I gotta show you something. I've got to show you something real real quick really really quick Because I'll just deal with this really really quick as well actually I'll scout Demetrius Jackson and all these guys right here.  All right now I wanted to show you guys On the straw pole on what you guys voted for Because Tony Allen, you know, he locked up a lot of people to be Brian said that's the hardest defender he ever had to play up against But I wanted to show you guys the straw pole right here So Here you go this I don't know if you guys can tell I hope you guys can but pretty much You guys were saying that You would like me to make a new team brand But we stay in Indiana and pretty much we make new team jerseys new a new court and all this good stuff And I promise for all the guys that Had a telling me make it a little bit better than agents. I'll show my best man I don't think it'll be too hard bang bang shots fire right there, but uh now me me and agent We're cool man. We mean agent.  They're nice They're not great though But um nah, I'm I like agent agent so if you guys don't know agent zero great much a meet you but check him out But um, I want to simulate right now. Come on. Why why just take so long like I literally spent about 20 minutes Just simulating this thing right now.  And then he asked the same thing and I told him what I thought about my GM And we might be doing a wish list Or maybe not a wish list, but a my GM like review type thing video. We'll see what happens But we're both gonna be away anyway Wow Guys, look at this trade Chris Bosch and her son white support. I just I don't know even know what I said about her son Why so I'm like I say I like put a son and what's had together. I'm like how white side I don't even know what I said, but Chris Bosch in his own white side, but you I Can no talk I can no talk Chris Bosch and her son white side for Paul George and George Hill I'm gonna take this trotin. Okay, I Wanted to see if I fooled anyone right there, but do we win against the Hawks? We lose it. We lose to the Hawks, but now We're up against the Pistons and the team is looking good. I'm gonna test out D Rose up against the Pistons then after that we're gonna do a rebrand video where we make some new jerseys just before the all-star break, which should be quite good and Everyone seems pretty good. Where are we now in the conference? We are It's it's the D Rose D Rose you guys can't even fault me on that D Rose trade Because we're winning games right now. We are 30 and 20 after being I don't even know what our win streak is But I mean look at this Look at this We were we were losing ready ready look at this look at this Ready starting from here Lost lost win lost lost lost win lost win lost lost win win lost lost And then after the D Rose trade it was win win win win win win win lost win win lost I mean I mean I mean I mean we're doing work right now We're doing work and hopefully the boy drumming isn't injured Italy servers injured for them, but that's okay We'll still play this game So we're up against Andre drumming and the Detroit Pistons in the next episode. I'll catch you on the next one Bye. Bye. Peace


And there are a few recovery schemes described there. In the sixth edition, we decided there are too many recovery schemes described there. It causes confusion. You know, you say which one is the first recovery scheme or the second one or the third one. The first one says without concurrency, then there is a version with concurrency which is slightly different. Then there is one more which says advanced concurrency and then there is Aries. There were just too many things. So, we decided we will simplify life and give one scheme which is easy to understand. It also happens to be a very, very widely used scheme. So, it makes sense to cover that scheme rather than cover other schemes which are not used that much and just cost more headache for people to remember the alternative schemes. So, that scheme is also, it is essentially, if you are familiar with the advanced recovery algorithm that had two parts. One was called repeating history, the other was logical undo. We split those two and now a recovery algorithm has the first part which uses repeating history but does not worry about logical undo. The second part worries about logical undo and the third part is Aries. That is actually a nice progression from these three. The second one is not a new algorithm, it is an addition to the first one and the third one again is not an entirely new algorithm, it is modifications to the second one. So, it is cleaner that way, that is the structure. So, now let us get into the actual algorithm, we are all familiar with failures. Why do failures occur? Logical errors which cause the transaction to roll back, system errors, the power failed, there is a deadlock which forces the system database to roll back a transaction, all these problems can occur. So, if there is a failure what do you need to do to ensure atomicity you have to roll back. So, that is a key part. The other part is durability to ensure that once you have committed everything is safe in spite of failure. All recovery mechanisms are predicated on the fail stop assumption. What is the fail stop assumption? Say if something goes wrong, this will be detected and the system will stop immediately. Now, this is an assumption, it is not guaranteed actually. So, what do we mean by this? It is possible for some kind of failure to corrupt the database without you ever knowing about it and you are in trouble, you cannot recover from that failure because you may not even we will detect that failure. So, what all database system implementations do is they have a huge number of assertions internally which will detect most such problems. If there is any corruption of data, they will detect it and they will detect it in time so that generally it is not guaranteed, but because there are so many assertions most of the time it will be caught before it has further repercussions and then you will can hopefully recover from it. The recovery algorithm itself is only proved correct under this assumption that failures do not have will result in stop immediately or at the moment that affected data is read it the system will stop and recover. Now, as you all know I am going to skip the first parts in some motivation. Let us get to the last part here. The actions taken during normal transaction processing which is logging primarily and then actions taken during recovery to use the log to recover. In order of familiar with notions of volatile non-volatile memory and also of stable storage which physical blocks are the data blocks on disk, buffer blocks are the same data temporarily in memory which updated of course it is not yet been written out. Input and output are the operations which read from disk and write to disk. In contrast we will use read and write to denote getting data from the buffer into work area of the transaction and write puts it back in the buffer. So, write does not mean the data output it is just in the buffer and read gets it from the buffer, but of course if it is not in the buffer automatically an input will happen before it reads it ok this is the model any questions. So, when we looked at the schedules of transactions what are the reads and writes? The read is this getting from buffer, write is writing to the buffer that does not imply it is written to disk the output to disk can happen much later. So, we have already seen what is read and write and as I said output need not immediately follow write. In fact output need not even happen at the time the transaction commits it can happen even later depending on the recovery mechanism used. We are going to focus on log based recovery there are other schemes like shadow paging. The earlier version of the book had a lot of details on shadow paging, but it is not used much these days. So, we have cut down on the description now in the current edition. So, you know what is the log it is a you know it is basically a record of things which happened updates primarily and also transaction start commit and so on. So, we assume that when a transaction starts it writes a record ti start. There are some tricks for example, the areas algorithm does not bother the first time you see a record of the transaction is the start, but anyway we will forget those optimizations. So, it has to write a ti start before it does a write it writes a log record containing its identifier. The data item which is being written the v 1 which is old value of the data item and v 2 which is the new value of the data item that is the log record again this is standard. You are and at the end it writes a ti commit. You are all familiar with the two approaches deferred and immediate. In deferred when a transaction does a write that does not mean it the write operation is done immediately it is kind of kept locally in the transactions local memory and the actual write to the database happens at the end of the transaction. In immediate the moment something is updated it can be written back to the database it can be does not mean it has to be it can be. So, with immediate modification in the buffer you may have updates which are not yet committed. So, you may have and that in turn may be written to disk also. So, on disk also you may have update which is not yet committed which means the log has to have enough information to allow you to roll it back. Differred modification simplifies some aspects of recovery, but it has extra overheads. We are not going to consider it for the moment. We can do some optimizations to the recovery algorithm we describe, but we are not going to bother about it. And of course, when does the transaction commit? Commit has to be atomic and the atomic commit is said to happen when the commit log record hits the log on stable storage and log is written sequentially which means all the log records of the transaction are on stable storage and the commit is there. So, moment the commit comes there we have enough information even if there is a failure to redo the transaction. So, that is why that point is the atomic commit point. At this point writes perform by the transaction may still be in the buffer. So, the database copy is not yet updated by an output that is ok. So, now let us look at an example t naught starts it updates a from 1000 to 950, b from 2000 to 2050 and then at some point it writes a and b. It has to write it before it commits. So, these are the local it at this point it could have updated a locally it has just written the log record, but before it writes it has to write the log record and then it commits. This fellow then starts update c and commits. Now, note that the writes are done before the commit, but this is still in the buffer it is not yet on disk. Now, the output may happen later in this case b b and b c are output to disk here. So, this is output well after that transaction has committed. Conversely b c is output here which means it is output even before t 1 has committed. So, both of these can happen in the recovery mechanism has to deal with it. Why do we say this can happen? Why not prevent why not ban this? Why not ban an updated item from being written until the transaction commits? The problem is if a transaction does a lot of updates memory is going to be full buffer is going to be full then where do you keep it? So, you write it back to the database that is the clean way. The log has to be written before the transaction commits. You can only declare the transaction committed when the committed commit record and everything up to that has been written to the log. So, typically what systems do is one of two things. By default whenever you do a commit it is written immediately at that point. Till then it may not be written, but when you do a commit the log is flushed to disk. But also periodically pages may get flushed. A few systems actually do what is called group commit.  It will not immediately flush the page. It will wait for maybe 20 milliseconds 30 milliseconds. And in that period maybe 10, 20 transactions may say commit. And now all of them would have written log records to the same page and one output commits all of them at one go. Instead of 10 different outputs of the same page. So, that is an optimization most databases will do. So, that is a simple log. With concurrent transactions the log records can be interspersed. You have to deal with that. Buffer can have data items updated by. Single buffer block can have data items updated by more than one transaction. But to ensure recoverability we are going to assume if a transaction has modified an item. No other transaction can modify the same item until TI has committed or abort it. If you do not do this, how do you, if you update another guy updates you want to roll back, how do you roll back? You will wipe out that other guy's updates also. So, this is a basic assumption. If you want to relax this you have to use what is called logical undo logging and we will briefly mention it later. Undo operations again are well known. Undo of a log record writes the old value back. Redo writes the new value to X that is straightforward. That is for a log record. What about an undo of a transaction? As you know an undo of a transaction has to undo all the updates made by the transaction. In what order? It has to start from the last one and go backwards. Why is that? It may update the same item more than once. If you go forward let's say it updated it from 10 to 20 from 20 to 30. If you first undo the first one it will go from 30 to 10 and then when you undo the next one it will go from 10 to 20. Whereas the original value should have been 10. So, undo always has to go backwards in time. Redo on the other hand if you need to redo always has to go forward. So, that's a basic principle. When you do an undo though there is something special which happens in this recovery and other similar recovery algorithms which are based on repeating history. When you undo a transaction in the simplest case you know transaction side rolled back or because of a deadlock it had to be rolled back. So, when you are undoing it every time you apply an undo you write out a log record ti, x and v. What is v? It is the old value which is being restored. This log record doesn't need two values because it's actually restoring an old value. We don't care about the new value it's anyway being thrown out. So, this is a special log record which is written out at the time you execute an undo operation. Moreover, when an entire transaction has been rolled back a special log record ti abort is written out. Now, what is the need for this? If you are familiar with the recovery algorithms from the earlier editions which I use in some of the books some of those don't do this. The undo says you do the undo and that said no logging happens at that point. This is a lot cleaner because what it is doing is logging every update that is done to the database. Whether the update is done while the transaction is running or the update is done because the transaction is rolling back is irrelevant. Every update is logged and it can be replayed. This aspect greatly cleans up the recovery algorithm and it's easy to show that it is correct. The other algorithms are actually very hard to show correct even. Why is this information used? No, no, this transaction which is getting repeatedly aborted is while the system is live. So, that does not need the log. The system needs to keep track of which transactions were rolled back and prevent the same one from being rolled back repeatedly. That has nothing to do with logging mechanism, that's it. So, why this information? It is used for recovery. Now, you could write TI commit instead of TI abort if you so wished and actually the algorithm will work with that. It doesn't matter. So, you can think of a thing which was rolled back as it did some work. Then the transaction commit continued undoing everything it did and committed. So, an abort and commit are actually identical in this. We just keep it separate because it may cause confusion. But these logs are purely for recovery. They're not for any other purpose. Now, when you redo on the other hand, no logging is done. So, the log is already there. You don't have to log it again. So now, this is what happens when you roll back a transaction, the undo part. The other part is if there's been a database crash, system crash and you're recovering from it, what are the actions that you need to carry out? And there are as follows. We'll just see what needs to be done. Then we'll see the sequence of steps at the end. So, basically a transaction needs to be undone if there is a log record TI start, so the transaction started. However, there is no log record TI commit or TI abort. This is an incomplete run. It was running when the failure happened. If TI commit or abort is there, it means it completed one way or the other before the failure. So, we don't have to undo it. We only have to redo it. On the other hand, it has to be redone if whether TI commit or abort is there, it will have to be redone. In fact, as we will see, you will redo everything. We don't even care whether the transaction needs to be undone or not. We will redo everything and then do an undo, as we'll see in a moment. So, note that the redo read us all the original actions, including the steps that restored old values and actually including the steps that incomplete transactions took. Everything is redone. This is called repeating history. So, here is a small example of a log at three points in time and what is the recovery action in each case? Here, T0 is not even complete. So, what does it do? We have to undo T0. So, you will restore B2000, 2000, the old value A to 1000, and you are going to write out two log records. T0 B2000, T0 A1000, and finally, you'll write T0 abort. So, this is the action during recovery. In the second case, what we will do is, we will redo everything actually, and then we will undo T1. So, what will happen is, A will be set to 950, B will be set to 2050, C will be set to 600, and then when we undo T1, so subsequently, when we roll back C, the log record T1C700 and T1 abort are written, and in this case, both are redone completely. So, everything is okay. There's also a notion of checkpoints, if you're familiar with it. And checkpoint here is fairly simple. What it does is, it temporarily hoist all updates, writes all modified buffer blocks to disk, and then writes a record checkpoint L, which contains a list of all active transactions. Now, in reality, this is fairly intrusive, saying stop all updates while I'm doing a checkpoint means that all transaction processing has to stop. So, in reality, what is used is a version of this which does not block all updates, and that's described later in the chapter. For lack of time, we won't get into it here today. The key thing is when we recover from database failure, what do we need to do? At the time of checkpoint, we have written all blocks out to disk. So, there is no need to do any redo of anything prior to the checkpoint record. So, we only have to find the last checkpoint record, and then redo actions go forward from there. Undo actions may actually have to go older also, because those transactions which are active at the time of checkpoint may have to be rolled back subsequently. So, for undo, we may have to go further back from the checkpoint to find log records to do an undo. For redo, we don't have to ever go before the checkpoint, only after the checkpoint. Is that clear? I see people are a little lost. We have some examples here. I have a figure. So, here is a checkpoint. At this point, everything that had been written up to here is output to disk. So, redo never has to redo anything before this. It only has to start from here. On the other hand, if a crash happened here at this point, then we have to undo T2, which means we have to go further back and use some of the older records of T2 to perform an undo. Now, there may be many transactions active here. We may have to perform undo all the way up to the beginning of the oldest one there. Any part of the log prior to that is no longer needed either for redo or for undo, and it can actually be garbage collected. So, what have we done so far? We have covered the concepts. We have not actually presented the recovery algorithm. So, we are going to do that now. So, what does it do? Logging is as we described. Transaction rollback is also as we described for a single transaction. The only thing is that when we are rolling back one transaction, we are only bothered about the records of that transaction. When we are rolling back all active transactions, the steps are going to be similar, but slightly different because many things are happening, many rollbacks are happening at the same time. I will come to that in a moment. But note that the transaction rollback will stop once the TI start is formed. As you are going back, when you hit TI start, that transaction rollback is done and it writes the TI abort record. So, now, for recovering from failure, there are two phases. In the redo phase, we replay updates of all transactions, whether they are committed, aborted or incomplete is irrelevant. Everything is redone, as I said. So, how do we do that redo? We will start from the last checkpoint record. We are going to do a little more bookkeeping. We are going to set the variable undue list to L, all those transactions which were active. Then, we will scan forward. Whenever we find a record of this form, we are going to redo it because we are redoing everything in this phase. We do not care whether the transaction committed, aborted or incomplete. Whenever the TI start is formed, we are going to add TI to undue list because it has started. We do not know whether it needs to be undone or not at the end. On the other hand, if we find the TI commit or abort, we know TI is done. We do not have to undo it. We know it completed, whether it successfully or aborted is irrelevant. It is over. So, we will remove it from undo list if it is present in that list. At the end of the redo pass, what is going to happen? Every action done initially has been redone and the undo list consists of only transactions that had not committed or aborted. These are the only guys which have to be rolled back. So, the next phase, the undo phase, we are going to start from the end of the log and go backwards. Whenever we find the log record, TI, XJ, V1, V2, where TI is in the undo list, we are going to roll back this log record. How do we do it? We perform the undo by restoring the old value and then we are going to write a log record, TI, XJ, V1 with the old value. Then, whenever a log record TI start is found, we are going to write TI abort. So, we are done rolling this back and we will remove TI from undo list. How far do we go? We will stop when undo list is empty. That is when TI start has been found for every transaction in the undo list. This stop may happen after the checkpoint. It may happen before the check. I have to go past the checkpoint also. After this, everything is done. Normal transaction processing can begin. Although many systems will perform a checkpoint at this point.  It is not essential, but many systems do it. Any questions? Yeah. So, the intuition is the following. The redo phase brings the system to a state where it was just before the crash. This is predictable. We know exactly what had happened and at this point, we can meaningfully do the undo. Now, you might ask, why do not we optimize? Why are we doing redo for transactions which anyway are going to be undone shortly? There are reasons for it which will become more clear if you see the logical undo which we are not actually looking at. But even if you do not have logical undo, it is simpler to just redo everything because otherwise we do not know. When we see a record, we do not know whether it completed or did not complete. We do not know. So, it is easier to just redo everything without bothering because anyway the undo will undo the effect of the redo. So, we spend a little bit of time doing a redo which will then be undone. It does not cause any harm. It is much more efficient than actually finding out whether the transaction completed or not. Then you will have to do two passes. You go to one path, do one more pass for such more work. Any other question? So, this is the basic recovery algorithm. We have an example of recovery. So, this is the log. These are all the records in this order from top to bottom and a crash happened exactly here and this shows what would happen. T0 has completed aborting. So, it is a complete transaction. We do not have to roll it, undo it anymore. On the other hand, T1 committed while T2 started but did not complete. So, only T2 has to be rolled back. It is the only one in the undo list. So, in the redo pass, we redo everything. At the end, here is a checkpoint with T0, T1. T1 committed. So, it is removed from the undo list. T0 aborted. It is removed from the undo list. So, at the end of the redo pass, T2 is the only thing in undo list. So, only T2 has to be rolled back. So, if you go back in the log, the first thing for T2 is this one. Therefore, we add, we roll it back. I mean, we undo this and add a record T2 A500. Next, we find T2 start. So, we write T2 abort and delete it from undo list. So, undo list is now empty. So, the undo pass stops here at this point over here. It does not even go up to the checkpoint record here. But if T0 did not was incomplete at the end, then the undo pass may have to go all the way up to T0 start. Okay. Now, I mentioned early lock release without holding a lock in two-phase manner. And that causes all kinds of problems for recovery. And how to deal with it is described in the section called recovery with early lock release. Now, any of you who went through the details of the advanced recovery algorithm from the previous edition, this is basically the same algorithm. It's been slightly cleaned up and explanations are better. There are more examples and so on. But conceptually, it is the same thing. And ARI, this was there already in the earlier edition. We have not changed it. It's a recovery algorithm which is very widely used in industry. We went in steps to help you understand what is going on. ARI does all of this more or less. But it has a number of other optimizations to speed up recovery, which we omitted to keep things simple. But the book describes some of the optimizations that ARI does. Again, this is the same as the previous edition. And then there is some stuff on remote backup systems, which I hope all of you have seen from the previous edition. If anyone is not aware of this, I'll spend one minute. Otherwise, I'll skip it. Anyone wants to talk about it? Are there any questions on the presentations? Is there a way to find out what recovery algorithm and database uses? Your best bet is to look at the system manuals or search on the net. That said, almost everybody uses ARIs. ARIs is kind of the standard. I think it's old enough that it is out of patent. So everybody uses or they have licensed it one way or the other. Postgresql used a slightly different recovery algorithm originally. But that was found to be a bit slow. So I think they switched to ARIs at some point. I'm not 100% sure of it. Can you experiment with Postgresql? It's easy to... It's hard to find out what it does for recovery by experimenting with it. The only way is to look at the source code or to look for manuals on the net. Postgresql has decent documentation. So you'll find manuals on the net which explains the details.


Let us discuss apiculture, what is apiculture? Apiculture is actually the practice of keeping bees and manufacturing honey and bees vex. Actually apiculture is the raring of bees for the purpose of honey and bees vex at a large scale for commercial purposes and agricultural purposes. There are different species of bees, different species of honey bees that we will use in the raring, in the apiculture industry for the production of honey and bees vex. There are different types of bees that are commonly used like the apus mellifera, apus dorseta, apus flora and apus crania indica. These are commonly called as Indian bee, rock bee and European bee, little bees. As you can see in the diagram, this is the apiculture set up and also called as apiary that most of you people have commonly seen in your surroundings. Aksar aplogone dekhah hoga ki is tarah ke boxes jo hai kisi bhi orchard, garden ya kisi bhi jo hai o flowering area ke nazdikh padeh hote hain. This is the apiary or apiculture set up that is commonly used in Pakistan, India and other agricultural countries. As you can see common hive boxes in the diagram, there are many advance boxes that are used for raring or for the keeping of bees. These hive are most advanced these days now and hive are composed of bottom strand and then bode and then super excluder queen excluder outer cover and inner cover. There are many parts of the box that are used for different purposes, different functions during the bee keeping at the bottom strand, at the bottom strand this hive is kept and then there is a floor board and then entrance where the queen bee is entered in the box and then queen excluder where we remove the queen bee and then we can add the food syrup like the sugar syrup for the food of the bees. And you can see the man that is handling the bees in the diagram and this is totally a different clothing that is properly used for keeping the bees. Man has used weird helmet, gloves, long shoes and white dress that we can notice the bees and bees stings can be avoided by using the helmet, long shoes and gloves etc. On the other hand you can see the queen on the in another diagram you can see the honey extractor that is electric honey extractor that is used for extraction of honey from the combs that is commonly used at commercial scale. There are different cast in the honey bee actually honey bee is social insect it made colonies and there is a division of labor between the queen. Every cast have a special duty to complete in their life and there are different cast like queen drawn bees and soldier bee and worker bees. Queen is the only reproductive female in the colony and there is a single queen that feeds on the royal jelly and queen only lays egg this is the duty of queen only that lay the eggs they these are the different cast of the honey bees. What is the importance of apiculture and beekeeping? Most of you people have already seen the different apiary setup different beekeeping hives in your surroundings. In being agricultural country like Pakistan we have different crops you have seen that in our country there are different crops flowering crops different orchards where in flowering season hives are moved and there honey will pick nectar and then there honey will convert and because of that on commercial scale honey and honey by product that is bees wax is also on commercial scale and because of that we economically because of that there is a source of earning for young ones and the cottage industry is that people can start it on a local level without that big scale investment. So this is a common application. Let's discuss about the what are the different uses of honey actually honey is has a very very important in our food in our medicines on the other hand in makeup industry and agriculture. There are different uses of honey as a food honey we can use honey as a high value food honey can be used by younger people older peoples and infants it is the rich source of energy it can be used with source of energy it removes the degrades the honey reduces the constipation bloating our gas it also helps to manage the weight. There are different uses of honey in medicine in cosmetics and agriculture as well in medicine we can use honey to reduce the risk of diabetes to reduce the risk of cholesterol honey has antibacterial properties we can use it for beneficial antioxidant agent and it can reduce the effect of different allergens. In cosmetics because honey has antioxidant properties antibacterial properties so honey can be used for antibacterial function honey can be used for acne or for cleansing for cleansing purposes honey can be mixed in olive and lemon juice and we can apply for this paste for the cleansing of the skin it has antibacterial properties. On the other hand honey can also be used for the shining of the skin it can clean the scalp and hairs in agriculture honey bees play very important role as they are the source of pollination in the plants so this is very important for agriculture pollination. Beesvex is also important as we can use the beesvex in candle and because it can be used for the capsules formation in medicine in pharmaceuticals it can also be used for moisturizing the skin in different lipstick creams and it can be used also in furniture industry for shining and it can also be used as electric insulator.


The T2 tile project is building an indefinitely scalable computational stack. Follow our progress here on T Tuesday updates. I'm Dave Ackley, a retired computer science professor, and I've loved computer programming since using FORTRAN on punch cards in the 1970s. But over the years I started to see that what makes programming so much fun, the power that you get to control, everything the machine does, is also what makes the resulting system so incredibly fragile and breakable and ultimately limited and untrustworthy. But I also saw that to do computing right, to build scalable, resistant, sensible systems, was going to take much more than new buzzwords on business as usual, much more than patching apps and changing passwords and blaming users because they don't. We need to reinvent the whole computational stack, hardware and software both, to really do it right. Now, a conventional computer is a world in a box, fixed and finite with totally centralized control and the programmer and then the program is the omnipotent master of that little universe. We could break that box open, we could basically turn it inside out and have hardware that could be expanded as needed, like tiling out a bigger ballroom floor after the dancing has already started. A whole new stack is admittedly too big an ask for most folks and the grant proposals I wrote about it pretty much got bad reactions and never went anywhere. But even though such a tile based indefinitely scalable machine would eventually need new chips and new circuits to make it fast and cost effective, we could get started by building prototype computing tiles using just off the shelf technologies. Even though those tiles would be huge, slow and expensive, we could try to make a hundred or more and as prototype hardware floor upon which to develop the software choreography and grow this new computational stack. So that's what I decided to do, I'm mostly a software person and I've always been fascinated and terrified by hardware design but I worked on this T2 tile project sporadically for a few years until in August 2018 I retired from academia to focus on it full time and in October 9th 2018 I started the T Tuesday updates YouTube channel to document my progress to find like minded folks out there if there were any and to keep me from slacking off too much when it had become extremely clear that there was a tremendous amount still to do. It's now been a year of T Tuesday updates, 52 episodes and even though we're not as far as I'd hoped we'd be by now, the truth is Dave, there's really been incredible progress across the board. Check it out. I mean in the pilot episode I asked the world for help and the world answered. People watched the videos and made comments and suggestions and asked questions and some folks went way beyond that, building out on social media for education and outreach. There's now t-shirts and stickers and other merch. We've live streamed public meetings, there's now a T2 tile subreddit and a wiki and dedicated chat rooms with lots of Q&A and lively discussions, it's great. And there's an online simulator to make playing with these new ideas as easy as pointing your browser at mfm.rocks. And now there's even early support for running simplified versions of the software on GPUs, graphics processing cards and getting incredibly high speeds out of it. Thank you folks for all that incredible support and to everybody for caring enough to check back in week by week for the updates. For my own efforts at education and outreach I gave conference talks and workshops. I wrote a paper about our latest developments in artificial cell membranes which are destined to be I hope to be a high level software organizing principle once the hardware tiles actually start working in quantity. And at the same time over the weeks and months I pushed forward on those T2 tiles themselves as best I could. I refreshed and revised the circuit board design I had started in 2017, got new PCB samples made, I fleshed out the bomb, the bill of materials and really started to appreciate just how deep the hardware rabbit hole goes. This part or that part, this 20 digit part number or that 20 digit part number that differs in one digit. What's the difference? Who knows? It's buried in the data sheet somewhere, better just get samples of both and try them. I hand built a few boards to test and for you bet to debug and deal with oscilloscopes and all kinds of incredibly terrifying hardware stuff and although I was and I still am completely terrified that I've missed some totally obvious hardware problem that's going to show up and bite my butt later, eventually the T2 electronics design started to settle down and seem plausible. I worked on 3D design for the tile cases with all the holes in just the right places so that the inter tile connectors could plug in between them when you put the tiles next to each other in the proper orientation. My 3D printer which I got started flaking out but eventually I fixed it myself even though it was supposedly still under warranty or eventually I also went and did designs for power zone frames not just for cases for a single tile but now to hold a group of tiles so that they can be handled as a unit and keep the power connections all internal. You know I called myself software guy lost in hardware land and for sure that's true but looking back now really I am scientist lost in engineering land just as much and on top of all of that I'm academic guy lost in commercial land. When it came to acquiring enough parts to manufacture over 100 tiles it was all about quantity limits and lead times and often negotiation with vendors like halfway around the world and I am not a good negotiator but gradually the parts came in and I finally sealed a handshake deal with the owner of an albuquerque electronics manufacturer to stuff the board to solder all the components in place using their pick and place machine and their reflow ovens and so forth and now we have over 150 T2 tiles in hand waiting for software. Yeah software you know that part that I'm supposed to be good at but of course you know for a whole computational stack software is not just one thing there's the coprocessors coded in assembly language and Linux kernel modules to manage communications and locking and a common data manager to distribute the system software out over a grid of tiles visualization program to see what's going on and all of that before even beginning to face the user level programming and languages that we have called the MFM and Splat Ulan and Splat and that was really the main focus of all of the previous work so all of that software effort since then has been dedicated to getting intertile events working where some user written code would just do its thing making local changes to its environment but those changes would end up partially on this tile and partially on the neighboring tile so that the whole computation could ultimately be movable thus the name movable feast machine and as year one of these T Tuesday updates ended we're getting close so I claim and hope and usually believe to having intertile events working but we're not quite there yet will we really get them working if we do how fast will the tiles go will they deliver one air one AER one an average event rate of one event per site per second across a whole grid no matter how many the tiles are involved will we get to see those hundred plus tiles all put together and running code running code written not just by me but hopefully by other folks out there in our tiny rebel alliance as well to find out follow our progress here on T Tuesday updates welcome to year two


What did you take away from the Marine Corps that helps you now with all of the many things you have going on now? There's there's a couple things that that I think carry over into civilian life and that's that's a huge passion for me right is veteran transition. One is organizational structure. I think there's a lot of organizations that can learn from the military and how to implement communication and leadership structure into their organizations but more important than that and it's something that really has played a strong significant value in my life is values and really understanding how if you have a strong set of core values that can be be a magnet for people to come to you or but it can also repel people away that don't believe in the same things that you believe.


Meantime, health teams were stationed at the House of Assembly, where parliamentarians and staff of parliament received their first job of the AstraZeneca vaccine. More from Jesse Laos. More parliamentarians got vaccinated this week as part of the Ministry of Health's mission to build public trust early on in its national campaign. On Thursday 4th March, a vaccination centre was set up at parliament building to accommodate. Shortly after taking his injection at that location, leader of the parliamentary opposition Hon. Philip J. Pierre reaffirmed his support of the COVID-19 vaccine. It is always my intention to take it and I want to encourage all solutions to take it because in the fight against COVID, we have to follow the science and the science says that the vaccination is a means where we can protect ourselves and mitigate against the effects of this dreaded virus. I want to encourage all solutions to follow, I want to see to the people who are most vulnerable to ensure that they follow the science and get vaccinated. Speaker of the House of Assembly Hon. Andy Daniel was also vaccinated at parliament building on Thursday. As Speaker of the House of Assembly, as one of the leaders of Insan Laos, we must all lead by example. We must take the first step so that the people, the nation will follow. And it is very important that us, the leaders of San Lucia, take that step to show San Lucia that it is in the best interest to be vaccinated. The Ministry of Health this week intensified its vaccination drive with a 13-venue schedule island-wide for senior citizens and persons with chronic health conditions. The feedback on the ground has been very good thus far. The clinics have been very heavy with a full flow throughout the day and we anticipate tomorrow as we have six clinic sites available that we will get increases in numbers. That was Chief Medical Officer Dr. Sharon Belmont-George. Dr. George adds that plans are underway to offer vaccination to the island's teachers and the tourism sector workforce in the coming weeks. The public, meanwhile, is encouraged to register urgently with their nearest Community Wellness Centre or online at hmi.govt.lc. For the Government Information Service, I am Jesse Layance reporting.
