One of the coolest things about Linux is that when you do a system update, and this is usually across every Linux distribution, when you do a system update, it updates everything on your system that was downloaded with the package manager, whether you use the GUI or the command line. When you're on Windows, usually you have to update everything piece by piece. So you download an application, you're in charge of keeping that specific application updated. And you have to do that for every application that you install. So there is no way on Windows without using a custom tool to update everything that you've ever downloaded, including the operating system. On Linux it's a little bit different, because you update the operating system and you install your applications usually with the same tool, whether that's something like DNF or APT or Pacman, whatever it is, usually that's the tool that you use to both update your operating system and install your applications. So when you do an update, it does all those things all at once. However, in this new fangled age where you might not necessarily always get your applications through your package manager that comes with your distro, the updating situation is actually a little bit more complicated because your package manager is not going to be responsible for updating things that it didn't install. So if you are using things like snaps or flat packs or app images, or you've installed things through cargo or PIP or whatever, your package manager is not going to touch those things at all, at least in most cases. So what's a guy to do? How do you keep your system completely up to date without having to specifically update everything from every single package manager that you happen to use? Well the answer to that question is going to be an application called Topgrade. Now Topgrade has been around for quite some time, at least a couple years I think, and it is a really interesting application. And it's actually fairly simple to use and install. So basically what happens is that you run it and it will update everything on your system no matter what package manager was used to install it. So that means that if you installed something through cargo or PIP or snaps or flat packs or Pacman or DNF or whatever it is, it will update everything or at least it will attempt to update everything as you'll come to see. So the idea behind the tool is that it means that you don't have to keep track of where things come from and you can still keep everything on your system up to date. And that's really kind of cool. So what I'm going to show you first is my first run of Topgrade because if I run it now nothing would happen because all of my system stuff is up to date because I've already run the tool. So the B-roll you'll see now is my first run of Topgrade. And as you can see the first thing that it does is it updates the system through the systems package manager. In this case I'm running Fedora so you are going to see it update through DNF. And it takes a little while. I'll speed that part up. After it's done is where it gets more interesting because if it just did the system package manager it would be useless because then you just run the system package manager. You'd run DNF or Pacman or APT or whatever happens to be you'd run that and just be done with it. But Topgrade is special because of what happens next. It goes through several different things that you have on your system and then upgrades them. So you'll see it try to update my GitHub repositories. You'll see it try to update Kacuni or however you say the odd-ass text editor that I'm trying out for maybe a video. You'll see it update Flatpak. You'll see it update Pip and Cargo. You'll see it update NeoVim and it will try to update NeoVim plugins which is nuts. So it will try to update pretty much everything on your system including some things that I had no clue it was even going to try to update. So as you'll see in the b-roll it was actually failed a couple of times. So it failed on GitHub repositories if for whatever reason would not take my SSH passphrase. I was typing it right I know I was so I don't know why that failed. It also failed on Kacuni or however the hell you say that that text editor I just hung there for about a minute and it just did nothing so I cancelled that out and it continued on and but everything else it succeeded on perfectly fine. Now the two areas where it failed it was easy enough to hit control C and have it ask me if I wanted to try again or just move past that. It doesn't cancel the entire upgrade which is really nice because you don't that means you don't have to start over. It just moves past that section that it failed on which is good. Now the thing is is there are a few things here that I wouldn't actually want it to be in charge of updating. So I don't want it to be in charge of pulling anything from my Git repose. I want to always make sure what is in my Git repository is locally is what's meant to be there. I don't want to have anything surprise me later on. So the cool thing about top grade is that if you do top grade dash dash help there's no man page so everything is done through dash dash help. You'll see that there's an option here called dash dash disable and you can disable any of the things that is in charge of updating. So the one thing that I wanted to remove is Git repose. So I could do dash dash disable and then Git repose and it would make sure that that wasn't updated at all which is exactly what I'd want. And this also gives you a list of the things that it will update. So everything in this list are things that will update. So ASDF, Adam, brew cask, brew formula, bin, cargo, Chesmoy, Chesmoy. I don't know what that I'm pretty sure that's like a .files manager. I'm not actually sure. Chocolatey which is for Windows. I believe choose choosing them. There's a lot of stuff here that I don't even know what it is composer conda and the list just goes on and on Deb get which is actually fairly new Emacs firmware flat pack flutter fossil G called Gemini just like I said goes on and on and on. Some of the stuff is not for Linux sometimes for Mac and Windows because this is also available on Mac and Windows but you can see that there's quite a few things here that it will attempt to go through and update for you including system firmware which is something that I had no clue it would even do which is kind of cool. Now if you didn't want to use the flags in the command in order to configure your top grade you can have a configuration file on your system for this which will allow you to have much more control over how top grade runs. So you can have top grade refused to ask for confirmation so it will just move through the whole thing without ever asking you whether or not you should carry on which is something that you do have to pay attention to so especially if you're during the portion where it's using your package manager there's almost always a part there where it's asking you to confirm whether or not you want to install the stuff. By default you have to hit yes you can turn that off in the configuration file you can turn off the ask to retry dialog so if you've canceled part of the upgrade it usually asks you if you want to retry you can turn that part off. There's a few arguments here for SSH and Tmux which is interesting if you're going to be using either of those things for this. There are sections here for you to add specific flags to whatever package manager you're using. So if you're using say for example PAMAC or Pacman you can add different flags to that during the top grade process. So for example the PAMAC one is you can add dash dash no develop I'm assuming you can add whatever flags that you want here all you'd have to do is put them within the quotation marks. So that's also kind of cool if you if you use a specific flag for your package manager and you want to still use that during the top grade process you can do so right here in the configuration file. Now I don't have a configuration file on my system you would put this in .config so if you end up doing that you can just create that file and then put this example one here which is on their hub page which I'll link in the video description so you can find all this stuff there and if you run this on Mac and Windows there's obviously several other options you can use as well. So that is the configuration file now the one thing that I didn't cover is that it does use sudo so you will have to enter your password but that shouldn't be a surprise because every update usually requires you to do sudo in some form of fashion so just keep that in mind it's not something that you can schedule via a like cron job or something like that you have to be around to run this if you want to do an automated update you'd have to do something else so the thing about top grade is that it's astonishingly simple it is very very easy to use there's not a lot of options there is one other option that I didn't cover that is actually really cool let me see if I can show you that that is the dash n option or dash dash dry run if you want to run top grade but not have it actually do anything you just want to see what it would do you can use the dash dash dry run option for it to go through the entire upgrade process but not actually make any changes so we'll just show you the output of command so it'd be similar to gentoo that has the pretend option so if you've ever used a merge on gentoo that has a pretend option and it would allow you to I think that's what it's called it would allow you to run the package manager in gentoo it would show you what would happen if you ran it but wouldn't actually make any changes that's what this does here and that's really cool because not every package manager has that and the ability to see what happens with all of your updates but without actually updating anything is cool so that's definitely something that I would make use of in the future so that is top grade and like I said it's an astonishingly simple application and it's definitely one that I'm going to be keeping on my system for a long time to come because I've been using DNF I've been using cargo I've been using pip and I've been using flat pack to install a whole bunch of applications because I don't have they you are anymore right so I've been installing applications for a lot from a lot more different sources than I usually did when I was on arch so top grade is a tool that is really going to help me someone suggested top grade to me in a comment on a YouTube video a couple weeks ago I'm sorry I don't remember your name I did not write it down so whoever you are thank you for suggesting this because this is awesome so again thank you if you have comments on top grade you can leave those in the comment section below just below the like button makes you hit the like button it really does help the channel you can follow me on Twitter at Linuxcast you can follow me on Mastodon or Odyssey both of those links will be in the video description along with all my other social media networks Amazon wishlist all those kind of things those are in the video description you can support me on patreon at patreon.com slash the Linuxcast it's like all these pine people and I still haven't fixed the graphic so I'm going to do that I promise anyways thanks to everybody who supports my patreon YouTube I truly do appreciate it I always just kind of stumble over myself trying to find the words they usually end up on the words thank you so thank you so very much for supporting me I just you guys are all amazing so thank you for watching I'll see you guys next time


Personal Finance PowerPoint Presentation Large Cap Big Cap Prepare to get financially fit by practicing personal finance. Most of this information comes from Investopedia Large Cap Big Cap, which you can find online. Take a look at the references, resources, continue your research from there. This is by James Chen, updated March 23, 2022. In prior presentations, we've been looking at investment goals, strategies, tools, keeping in mind the two major categories of investments. That being the fixed income, typically the bonds and the equities, typically the common stock. Also thinking about other tools we might use, such as mutual funds, such as ETFs, possibly helping us to diversify with less initial investment as opposed to investing in individual stocks and individual bonds. Keeping that in mind, we're asking, what does large cap big cap mean? Large cap, sometime called big cap, refers to a company with a market capitalization value of more than $10 billion. So this is going to be a way for us to think about and categorize the companies. That could help us also to think about and categorize our funds and possibly have funds that are going to be targeted towards small cap, mid cap, big cap, large cap type of funds. So large cap is a shortened version of the term large market capitalization. Market capitalization is a calculated by multiplying the number of a company's shares outstanding by its stock price per share. A company's stock is generally classified as large cap, mid cap, small cap, or micro cap. So when we're thinking about our investment strategies then, remember that we could invest in individual stocks and we might choose then or try to think about those stocks in terms of where they're classified, in terms of how large the company is. As one of the characteristics we're going to be comparing to, possibly comparing them to like companies, we might be investing in mutual funds in which case we might try to have say one mutual fund that tries to cover everything diversified across a wide variety or we might look to have a little bit more control by having multiple funds that are a bit more targeted. One way we can target a little bit more closely is to try to target by how large the company is by classification such as large cap, mid cap, small cap, and we can use certain indexes that the market uses to get an idea or feel of those different groups. Large cap, big cap, explained. Large cap stocks represent approximately 98.5% of the total U.S. equities market as measured by the Wilshire 5000 Total Market Index, which only includes companies with a minimum of $25 million float-adjusted market cap. As of April 30, 2021, the index has over 3,500 stocks representing the entire U.S. equity market universe. As of March 2021, the top U.S. stocks by market cap included the following. We've got number one, Apple, number two, Saudi RMCo, number three, Microsoft, number four, Amazon, number five, Alphabet, Google, and GOO Google, number six, Meta, M-E-T-A, formerly Facebook, number seven, Tencent, number eight, Tesla, number nine, Alibaba Group, number 10, Berkshire Hathaway. So those are probably many of them, if not all of them, familiar names. So those are going to be, of course, the big players. So when you're talking about the large cap stocks, you're looking at the big players, those are the ones that we would expect to be more stable over time. So when you're talking about the business cycle here in terms of our company cycle, we can think about smaller companies which are usually taking their money and they're reinvesting that money so that they can buy things like property, plants, and equipment at that point in time to facilitate further growth when they go into the stock market and ask to be on the stock market in a public exchange going public then in part often is for them to generate more capital, generate more money so that they can continue to grow and expand. Once a company gets quite large, then you would expect they're going to be somewhere up here. Now, a lot of these companies, you might be saying, hey, these people are still innovating, they're still doing new stuff, they're still growing, and that's true, but they're still growing, their growth in relation to how big they are means that they're probably not going to be as explosive as they were down here because clearly down here, they weren't as big. It's easier to double your size when you're not a mammoth to begin with, right? So you would expect that these ones might not be popping off as much growth, but you would expect them to still be marching along because they already have their infrastructure and everything built up and a lot of the things to these days has to do with the network. So when you think about things like Amazon and Google, they've already got their network established so they got kind of a monopoly of the network and so you would think they might be not putting as much stuff into back into the company but might be giving, say, dividends at that time once they get that large, for example. So globally, large cap companies are usually found in the market's leading benchmark indexes and the U.S., these indexes include the S&P 500, so these are some of the most well-known indexes, the Dow Jones Industrial Average and the Nasdaq Composite. So when you're looking at these indexes, these big guys, you're looking at the ones that are dominated by the big guys, right? And so since large cap stocks represent a significant portion of the U.S. equity market, they are often utilized as core portfolio investments. So notice that when you're looking at the stock market, you're looking at companies that are fairly large to begin with because they decided to go public and beyond public, basically, exchanges and because these companies are so large, they're going to have a large representation of the overall stock market. So characteristics often associated with large cap stocks include the following. Number one, transparent. Large cap companies are typically transparent, making it easy for investors to find and analyze public information about them. So one of the nice things about the U.S. exchanges is they allow you to kind of drill down on the information so that you have the information to make investment decisions. That's one of the great things about the market. So if everybody has enough information and everybody has the right information, true information, you would think that two people then with disinterested objectives having different or opposite objectives could make a market transaction. And so and obviously that's why in some ways it's more efficient than say an opaque like government entity or something like that. That's why we want government entities to be transparent as well. So in any case, number two, dividend payers, large cap stable established companies are often the companies investors choose for dividend income distributions. So these in our individual investment strategies are usually at the point in time that we're close to or in retirement. We probably want to be living on our nest egg at that point. So we might be investing in companies that are paying out a dividend as opposed to up and coming and growing companies which are likely not paying out the dividend because they're still trying to grow and putting that dividend back in the company to buy property plant and equipment. Their mature market establishment has allowed them to establish and commit to high dividend payout ratios. Number three, stable and impactful large cap stocks are typically blue chip companies at peak business cycle phases generating established and stable revenue and earnings. So they've got everything put together. They've got their business figured out. They've got the infrastructure in line and you would think they're fairly consistent then going forward. They tend to move with the market economy because of their size. They are also market leaders. They produce innovative solutions often with global market operations and market news about these companies is typically impactful to the broad market overall meaning they're so large that the moves that they make can have an impact on reverberate through the rest of the market. Whereas of course if you're a smaller company you're more subject to the whims of the markets what you do individually will not often be moving in the market. So market capitalization. Market capitalization describes the market size of a company. Market capitalization is an equity market segregation used broadly in the investment industry. A company's market capitalization is an important characteristic considered by investment companies and individual investors. Market capitalization is one characteristic of a company used in investment analysis. So there's many other characteristics. We can see what industry they're in and so on and so forth. But the largeness how big they are capitalization is a way to categorize. Market capitalization is usually used in conjunction with other stock characteristics such as price to earnings and earnings growth estimates. It is also an indicator of a company's market depth. Market capitalization is calculated by multiplying the number of shares outstanding by the share price of the company's stock. The number of share outstanding is reported on a quarterly basis. But the price of the stock can change from minute to minute because it's going to be dependent on the market as the market's moving. So therefore the market capitalization value is actively changing with the market price. For example, a company with 10 billion shares outstanding trading at $10 per share has a market capitalization of $100 billion. Likewise, a company with 10 billion shares outstanding and trading at a price of $1 also has a market capitalization of $100 billion. Publicly traded stock issuance is used as a capital raising mechanism for public traded companies. So that's why a lot of companies might go public because they're trying to generate capital through the issuance of equity through the issuance of the stock in that capital, that money that they get, then can be used to build things like property planting equipment, which hopefully if wisely invested will generate future revenue and increase stock prices. When a company chooses to offer its shares for trading on the open public market, it typically uses share issuance as its primary equity capital raising tool, meaning it's trying to get money that they could put into the company and build property planting equipment most likely to generate future revenue. Thus equity share management is a primary function used by well-established companies for capital and share outstanding are a part of that management process. Market capitalization categories. Typically stocks are lumped into three main categories of capitalization. We've got the large cap, we've got the mid cap, we've got the small cap. However, mega cap and micro cap stock segregations may also be used. Mega cap refers to stocks with a market cap of greater than $200 billion. Micro cap is less than $300 million. And nano cap may also be used for less than $50 million. So a large cap company has a market capitalization of over $10 billion and mid cap company has a market capitalization between $2 billion and $10 billion and a small cap company has less than $2 billion in market capitalization. Large cap companies usually have a broader market issuance experience with greater access to the capital markets. Usually large caps have the greatest trading liquidity. Investing in large cap stocks. Investors like to diversify their portfolio by investing in companies in different industries with varying market caps, revenues, and earning growth projections. So clearly we want to diversify typically as the individual investor. Due to their size, large cap stocks are generally believed to be safer. So clearly if they're marching along and they're that large you would think that they're going to be less risky typically. While they do not offer the same growth opportunities as emerging mid cap and small cap companies large cap companies are innovative market leaders. So and even if they're not innovative, they're probably going to be pushing the market no matter what they do because they're that large or some of them are. So as a result, their stock price can gain significantly through specific market initiatives or around groundbreaking market solutions. Typically investing in large cap companies is used as a core long term investment strategy within a portfolio because of their stability and dividends. So financial advisors usually suggest diversifying an investment portfolio by including small cap, mid cap, and large cap stocks. Allocations and investment decisions are typically based on risk tolerance and investment horizons. So we've talked about in the past that generally if you have a longer investment horizon possibly saving for retirement then you might have more weight. If you're just looking at these three categories as your categorization you might have a little bit more weight on the small cap to the to the mid cap size of things because if there's a swing in the market because these are more volatile it should still be okay it should play itself out in a longer time horizon. If you have a shorter time horizon you're coming up to your goal like retirement then you probably want more on the large cap and if you're in retirement you almost certainly want more on the large cap because then you don't want the volatility of the small cap and the mid cap because if they go down you don't have any time horizon for that to play out. So if you just hit a lump in the cycle that wouldn't be good. Large caps are typically more stable and if you're living on the dividends then you're going to want the large cap typically because those are the ones that pay them.


What's a celebrity encounter that you think about a lot that had a big impact on you? All right, it's one that I've been pretty outspoken about. So a lot of people might know this one, but remember my heavy metal identity phase? Yeah, sure. I loved Motley Crue. Sure. I wanted to party like Motley Crue, and that's all that mattered in the world. And I was 13 years old, living in Canada. My dad was the president of Nabisco, Canada. Motley Crue is coming. It's Maple Leaf Gardens. This is the hockey arena. Motley Crue's got a show at Maple Leaf Gardens on October 25th of 1987. I'm losing my mind because I love Motley Crue. My dad, Nabisco, happens to have a skybox in Maple Leaf Gardens.  Nobody that could get access to the skybox. I'm sure the staff, the factory, loved them. The C-suite, knocked that into them. Right, so my dad knew the skybox would be available. He knew how much I love Motley Crue. He said, you know, I'm gonna do something great for my son, I'm gonna bring him to the Motley Crue concert.  You know, like up in the skybox. I was always kind of embarrassed of all that stuff. And my dad said, all right, well, you can do better than, you know.  Like it was like, you know, out in the mud. And I'm like, they're in Toronto now, the concert's tomorrow, so I deduced, or induced that they were in a hotel. And so I had to find them. Shot in place? Wait, no, this is Toronto. So, shot in place, where'd you live? Well, I didn't even zero in on a hotel. I called everyone in the Yellow Pages, every hotel in the Yellow Pages. I just started the top of the list and for hours.  And I'm like, they're not gonna check into the hotel as Nicky Six, they're not gonna check into the hotel as Frank Carlton. I was like, I thought they're gonna check into the hotel under the name of their manager. So I go run into my room and I checked the tape sleeves for looking for the name of the manager. Says Doc McGee, famously the manager of Motley Crew. I just went to the Yellow Pages and I started calling and said, hello, please put me through to Mr. Doc McGee's room, please. After just a few hours, they fucking, there was one false alarm, after a few hours, I was patched through to a room. This guy picked up the phone, I said, hello, is that Doc McGee? And he said, no, this is Doc's brother, Scott, who's this? And I was like, is it Motley Crew? Like, and now he says, who is this? Like, how'd you get this number? And I told him, I say, man, I just called every hotel in the Yellow Pages, like his crew there. And he said, like, wow, that's awesome. Like, I'm really impressed by that. Like, would you like me to put you on the list and please come murder us? Right. So I got, he put me on the list for backstage passes, like, fifth row tickets, fifth row center, like, I still went up to the Nabisco Skybox to place my boombox right next to the little speaker to bootleg the concert. And then my dad and I went to my seats and my dad took pictures of me with Nicky Six and Tommy Lee. Tommy Lee and I are like both little kids. Yeah, that, it really made a monster out of me, man. I remember kind of having the sense that, like, man, you know, I wanted to meet these guys. Did it feel like destined or something? I mean, I didn't have anything that I really cared to, I didn't have anything important to say to them. Like, I didn't, you know, there wasn't any real interaction to have, but just by virtue of the fact that I was like standing next to them just because of my own sheer determination. Like, I just feel like that was empowering. Then you got me with the entire band many years later when Tommy reached out to me, he says, dude, I'm back together with Motley Crew. We've been rehearsing for this before they went on the Carnival of Sins tour. We're flying in on a helicopter for this big show.   And the girl from your Spanish class was like, oh, dude, it's still not impressive. I don't know what to tell you yet. Two shakes. Hey, did you like that? Did you like that? Yeah, did you like it though? You want more? Don't want to work? Would rather watch videos of me grab acid with people?  This is like when the weatherman says there's a high pressure system coming in below. I'm not really used to the green screen.


In this video I want to show you how to do reductions. Now you might not use that word very often when you deal with tables or you deal with the data analysis, but reductions. Let me show you what this is all about. I'm going to hit escape in this cell. It'll turn blue. I'm going to use the keyboard shortcut M to change it into a markdown cell. Enter or return. Just to get it back to green. Two of those little pound signs, hash signs. Let's do reductions. Shift enter, shift return. Let's go. Let's just remind ourselves what table two was all about. Table two. That's better. And we remembered the primary key ID, group HPWCC. And what if I wanted to know what the sum total of all the values, say for instance in this last column was WCC. I want to know if I were to add all of these. It might be easy if there were just a few, but if there were thousands and thousands of rows, that'd be a bit difficult. So let's use the reduce function. Reduce. Open close parentheses. The first argument is what we want to do. I want to add all of these. And remember these operators such as plus, they are actually functions inside of Julia. They're really first class citizens. So I can just use the plus sign there. It just says add all of the values. And I'm going to reference table two as the object in which I want all of this to occur. And then I'm going to use the select keyword argument select. And what I want to select is this WCC column. And I'm using the symbol notation. In other words, colon WCC for that column name, shift and enter, shift return. And it adds up for me all the values there inside of this WCC column. It's going to just add all of them and give me the result there. That's quite easy to do. Let's do something slightly more useful. What if I wanted to look down that column and imagine, again, it's hundreds and hundreds of rows, thousands of rows. I want to know what the minimum and what the maximum value is. Reduce once again. So this time I want two things to happen. So I'm going to put them for this reduce function inside of its own set of parentheses. And I'm just going to use the min and max functions there. Once again, I'm going to say look at table two for me, please. Table two and select, select equals symbol notation WCC. Shift enter, shift return. And it really neatly finds it for me. It says the minimum value was 8.8 and the maximum value was 16.6. Now let's ramp this up a bit and make this really useful. Remember, we imported online stats, the online stats package. Now that has nothing to do with being online. It's just online stats. We'll have a look a little bit later. So I'm going to say reduce. And what I want here, and again, I'm going to put those inside of its own set of parentheses. I want the mean and that is a function. So I'm just going to use the open and close parentheses there. And I want the variance, open and close parentheses. And once again, I want this to be on the object in table two, the computer variable table two. And I'm going to select once again, the white cell count WCC, shift enter, shift return. And now the online stats package kicks in gives me this very nice output here. And I haven't done anything specifically. So it's giving me equal weights to each of these elements inside of my list. So and it also says number of observations 10, there were indeed 10 observations in each of in the WCC column. So I see a mean of 12.76. And I see a variance of 7.08. Remember, that's the square of the standard deviation. So very easy just to get out a bit of information by using the reduce function.


The U.S. company has cut 27,000 jobs before the worst of the coronavirus shutdown, but Moody says millions more are coming. In Germany, manufacturing PMI showed output fell at the fastest rate in nearly 11 years. Eurozone's manufacturing economy also contracted sharply, and the U.K. manufacturing output and new orders fell at the fastest rate since 2012.

Thursday will lie the potentially super gloomy initial jobless claims for last week in the U.S. Today, I'm looking at the euro-yen pair, which is approaching the 117 support level once again, after a roller coaster ride in the past two weeks. With the Italy's coronavirus cases getting a bit more stable, we may be able to see this level holding once more and shooting the pair off to the resistance levels of 119 and 120. However, if this support is broken, then doors will be open for further drops towards 111. Do you think Euro-yen will find support here? Get over to the comment section and let me know.

Monet AUF askckers got stunned  berries to the word  microphone gtr when I see that I get amazed is learninger축大藝 엇 ఊ్వ inglés క్వindruck టికೆఇ నోచచాం�总 ఩౏యిbral�రvänd逍స soi గ therapist Middle School ఇసో లంంఋపెడిమాకివకివాలూ మితోతచారం మాయాయాయి ! but, no, are you number, Yeah, you're not amazing You can't believe heatos this with just a newspaper Bro, no, take a time You got so many people out want and see how do you do this First of all, did you come up with this? Okay, I'll start with the story. It goes back in 2016 at school was ready to graduate in CNA-6, because during the examination, we used to come out with exam papers and drafts that we did some exercise on. But as a student, we started to throw them outside, I asked myself as an artist how can I turn the papers that are being thrown away into something new. but especially that really made me to go and do some research and i found out there were already paper birds those one that they turn out into necklaces yeah so i was kind of how inspired by that one so i thought can i make something even extra more than paper birds exactly and i turned the paper beads into something else new shapes and then new something to decorate actually and to be useful as well so i did some research and i also was amazed by how many papers how many newspapers that are being printed every single day wow so that really motivated me to do something about this so that's how i can do this how long does it take you to finish actually one day i can make one one but it also needs another time because i use glue and varnish it needed another time to dry for it to be so this is glue and newspapers that's it glue and newspapers and varnish you see how how smooth yeah very smooth bro no like just show us a little bit you know i know it's going to take a day and i don't have a day but just no you know we need yeah let let them have the proof this is just a newspaper the east african you're not advertising the newspaper right away but this is bro yeah just from this how do you start this you see i have the they're ready for newspaper now okay okay this one is better so i cut this into a half which is what i did with this okay let me demonstrate to one i did so these are cut it into a half this was a full of newspaper actually so i collect this is this is like a first process and then i go with around by looking at the layers they lay out of the newspapers okay they give me out they give me an idea of creating the colors around this one wow you see the blue then the rate you see how they make a rhythm in there right so i look at this layout and it leads me to where i can start my process of folding so you don't even just work up and start no i just i don't just do it however i want amazing i pay attention to how it makes the textures and the color stuff like that so i go with this fold turn this into a pipe so like a pipe i have my glue here and i'm good to go so i make i i make a collection of these like a hundred or fifty of these you can make this one okay just a hundred of this you can make this bar what is your name my name is mogawe and um how much is this one is ten thousand ten thousand that's a ten dollar i'm gonna leave his number in the description this is by force

Hello everyone and welcome back to another video if this is your first time checking out one of our videos on the channel Then please do subscribe and hit that Bell notification button As you'll then be notified of all our future videos as they come out in each video We try and pick a topic or particular function and really dive in with examples to help you understand What it's doing and where it can be valued to your work and also if you do enjoy this video This is goes for everyone else. If you did enjoy this video, please do hit it I hit that like button It's causing greatly appreciated by us because it not only helps let you to algorithm It also helps show me the content you'd like to see more of in today's video We're going to be looking at how to get rid of any unwanted spaces and firstly I start with an apology that please do try ignore the awful formatting and very basic layout of this In this file we've got here, but we're going to be jumping around with some of the information on this sheet But it's the real core point We're going to be looking at in columns a to see with the data that is I really don't want to strap the attention from So in this scenario, we've got two sets of data both look exactly the same We've got column jet or columns J to K and we've also got columns M to N And you can see we've got an ID and some sales data and our ID is a location ID And we want to return the location name from our search table in column F and G So we'll jump straight in we're going to copy this first bit of data and Oh, I've pushed the wrong button there ignore that Copy this and we're going to paste it over into our desired columns of A to C and This is just trying to replicate a scenario where you're copying data either from a website or maybe another Microsoft application like word or even outlook So you can see we've copied our data across there and we can see the total sales To put in our location name. All we're going to do is do a VLOOKUP And if you're not familiar with how to do the VLOOKUP function Do check out the other videos we have available on the channel as there are many Going in more depth into the VLOOKUP function to show you how to use it as we won't be going into too much depth in this video So once I've entered my VLOOKUP, you can see that I now have a location What makes gives our data a bit more meaning and sense so we can now see that Tokyo had the highest sales and that New York had the lower sales to give two very obvious and not meaningful piece of information there So with our second piece of data now, this is being rigged to give us Maybe as an example of where data is maybe not formatted correctly from a potentially bad source And it's not necessarily going to be a bad source. It's just that formatting can change when you're moving across applications So we're going to copy this data here. So we just copy exactly the same way we did and paste it underneath the previous data And all we now need to do is just copy this formula down so we can see the locations But we can see there's a problem and it's the VLOOKUP is giving us an error and the error for that without having to Sort of dive in and do too much digging is because we already know is there is a space at the end of the ID So when we're looking for the idea of a one zero one zero, what's the first one here for New York? Obviously this value doesn't contain all the actual ID in the search table doesn't contain a space Therefore, that's what's causing the problem And you can just see if I manually remove that space from here and enter then the VLOOKUP can now perform and return its actual location But we'll just put that space back in there So we need to make an update to our existing VLOOKUP formula to deal with this space all we need to do is go at the front here and I'm just going to enter the function of trim and Do that around here as well So you can see what are now the brackets running inside that value and hit enter and it's now worked and given us That desired value what trim does and again like the example with VLOOKUP There are other videos on our channel if you want to look at more into the trim function how it works You can check them out there, but in a nutshell trim works by looking at your value So for us, it's this one here a one zero one zero and it says okay if there's any spaces at the beginning of the The string or the end of it all I'm going to do is just remove them and exactly what it does So it literally gets rid of any spaces and either side of the value obviously if there's a space in the middle It wouldn't remove it but any space is either side It will remove those spaces and then give us the the number as desired And you can see that works for New York and if I just to drag it above Into our existing ones obviously it impacts them or it doesn't impact them at all because there's no spaces for it to need to extract But yeah, so it's not a one of those formulas where if a space isn't present it will cause an error It will literally only activate should we say if those spaces are there So I can just now copy this down and I should know it hasn't sorted to those examples out So we can now look to see why are they not not working? So I'll jump into this one in row 11 Go up into the former bar here and I can see that there is a space there But obviously trim is not working with this particular type of space So if you didn't know there are potentially should we say two different types of spaces? There's a normal space So that the one we're able to resolve there by using the trim function and there's also another space Called a non-breaking space So for us as just looking at them it looks no different We can it just looks like a space but Excel obviously Recognizes these two different spaces as different references and therefore we need to feed into our formula a solution for Excel to what to do when one of those particular spaces comes up So what I'll go quickly do is add a box over here and then what you can see is I will replicate by using the formula This particular these two different types of spaces So all I need to do is do equal C-H-O-R and open brackets and the first time well The first one is going to be number 32. So chapter 32 and enter and Character third or character with number 32. So this is our normal space So Excel will recognize a normal spelling space with this reference of 32 And I can just copy that down to save me writing the formula again very lazy and For the second one, I'm going to enter the number one six zero So this second one Excel recognizes as a non-breaking space with the reference of one six zero so if I was to then just copy these and Let's do Copy and we'll do paste values Just get rid of those references You can now see if I just put this border back on if I go into each one So this first one you can clearly see there is a space there Perfect, so I escaped out of that and the second one again, you'll see there is another space there So they're getting they both look exactly identical to us, but when I use a final formula here of code So the first one I put in there of C-H-O-R allows me to Create that scenario and obviously using code allows me to now reference what appears like a blank cell To understand what the code references So obviously see that first one is 32 and that second one is 160 so we now know that a Normal space is going to be number 32 and a non-breaking space is going to be code reference 160 so Trim will help us deal with number 32 But we need another update to our formula to help us deal with the code of 160 when we encounter the non-breaking spaces So what we can do is we'll go back over to our formula here And the first thing I want to do is for the time being is just remove This trim function and that reference. So let's delete that out I'm now going to use the formula function of substitute so just type in substitute and What this does is it basically you input what value you want the formula to look for and Then you then provide the value you want it to substitute that found the value for So we first need to say take in our ID So the text being obviously a reference to where our text is We'll then go common and say, okay, what is the old text we want to find to be substituted So we're going to put char 160 Because we know that is a non-breaking space is code So where the character that 160 code is referenced all we want to do is We don't want to put any new text so we can just we want it just to be blank So all I'm going to do is having entered the comma just put no more there and just close my brackets and enter So what you can see what happened is as I now pull this formula down all those values the first four Obviously no spaces are present so it's not going to do anything But for those two where we had so Mumbai and Paris the two values and I've been pulled through Where one of those non-breaking spaces was appearing it's now going to find that space replace it or basically remove it replace it with nothing and Therefore our formula will now work So obviously as a result of doing that substitute removing trim it's caused errors to these ones with the normal spaces So lastly we can just round this off by now just entering the trim function around our just entered substitute function like so So what will happen now is Our substitute function will work. It will say okay for our ID Is there any non-breaking spaces if so replace them with nothing and then as a secondary measure It will then say okay having done that substitute function. Is there any more spaces ie normal spaces around our new ID if there is remove them else obviously there's nothing to be done and then that will then give us our Perfect value ready to be searched or looked up in that search table Hit enter we can see we've got New York there So we know there was no problems with that one at all Copy that all the way down by a double click and you can now see that we have a solution to deal with both the Normal and the non-breaking spaces So we hope that was obviously insightful and gave you a really good Formula to use with your data Appreciate the data we looked at today is is there's not very much of it So you might just want to go and just manually remove those spaces But as you can appreciate if you have a lot more data where you need to apply this to be look up to or If you're doing this on maybe a recurring basis, whether it's daily or weekly You don't maybe want to rely on a manual process because that could either give you An error because if you forget to do it And alternatively if you're doing it on a regular basis that soon adds up a lot of time that you spend doing this manually so this is the formula that I would suggest you can use and This obviously doesn't have to just be used review look up You could use it of any other function where you're trying to do a search in this scenario and That will give you a solution to use So we hope you enjoyed that video if you did as mentioned at the beginning Please do give the video a like obviously it helps that YouTube algorithm Or most importantly and helps other people find this content and it also gives great insight to myself to know What content you're enjoying and what you may be like to see more of if you haven't already Again, do subscribe to the channel hit that bell notification button We bring out one video a week or lots more content to come out So obviously by doing that you'll be notified when more content comes out onto the channel So lastly, thank you very much for watching and we'll see you in the next video Before you go don't forget to check out the other videos on our channel You'll see everything from other functions and formulas through to tips and tricks We've also created some playlist so you can see these categorized together So make sure you check those out and get all those useful information and obviously as always don't forget to subscribe and hit that bell notification button


Some people would say you should be spending more time doing your PhD, but I don't think life is only Working or lonely studying life is more than that. Hi. I am Antonio. I am a Marquette student living in a retirement community So we have low cost apartment here at San Camilo's and in exchange we have to spend time with the residents Usually we have to spend at least eight hours per week with them I always do more than 10 because it's very easy. I thought I was like, well, this is so different and Unique and they are like big grandpas and grandmas, you know, especially for me. I don't have my family here So they're like my big family the experience they have everything they share with me. It's also very important So these kind of things that it's not related to my PhD. It's more about life I think that's the most important thing I'm getting here. I think that's the big takeaway for me


Rolls Royce is a modern company is no longer directly associated with making luxury motorcars. Today Rolls Royce is what we call a power systems company. In the air in particular we produce the trend engines which power many of the wide body jets flying around the world today. I became technical director in 1989 and had responsibility for the funding of the research in universities. I came forward with a proposal which was that we would offer five years funding in return for which the universities would recruit a certain skill set and would work on problems in a particular technical discipline. And these centres that we set out were then given the name of university technology centres. You've got something like 18,000 components precision made in an aero engine. The fan on a Trent 900 engine which powers the A380 airbus is about a 10-point in diameter about 22 blades and they're made by a very advanced manufacturing process. The research that was carried out at Cambridge was key in developing the shape and aerodynamics of that blade. Southampton contributed significantly to understanding the burst of noise and how you remove it from engines. These blades have to withstand the impact of birds and then they have to still continue to operate. So there's a whole range of UTCs that contributed to one component. We've built a network today of 28 university technology centres worldwide. 19 of those are in the UK because of our heritage, but nine are now outside the UK. It's important to engage universities because they bring a freshness to our research. The university technology centres are staffed and manned by university people, not Rolls Royce people. And a good university technology centre will probably have around 40 people working in it, all ranging from professors down to individual research students. One of the very first university technology centres was in Oxford, and most recently we've moved the Osny laboratories in Oxford to brand new facilities paid for partly by the government, partly by Oxford University and partly by Rolls Royce. Five years is a very short time in most of the industries we operate in, so technology there has to be tried and tested and well proven. We have a process of trying to work out what products we will need in the future and what technology we will need for them in order to satisfy the customer. And so out of that comes the research and out of that we distill it down with the UTCs to try and work out what it is we should work on. I have to convince the chief executive that this money is well spent and it might not give results immediately. Now the beauty of the UTC system is you get long term contracts, you can keep really good researchers together. The thing about planning it is to have a reasonably long timeframe and be prepared to wait for the results actually to come. We did an audit and something like 70% of the information that had been transferred to Rolls Royce had been used either in products or in design processes. The value that contributed was far greater than the cost that we had invested in the centres. University technology centres are not just about delivering technology, they also deliver skilled people. You'll see over years in the future quite different aero engines and that will raise major new areas of technology. The university technology centres are absolutely key in getting on the shelf the technology we need for those future challenges. Rolls Royce has a very strong brand and in choosing a UTC we look at world-class universities and even within those universities we look for world-class researchers and professors who have a higher steam in the academic world. So it's in our interest not to dilute the brand but I think the university is also gained by close association with Rolls Royce both in terms of recruiting students for the future and their own image in the outside world.


As part of our Australia 360 day, I'll be chairing a session that looks at Australia's regions and relationships and we're looking at the region in sections, we're looking at the South West Pacific, we'll be looking at Southeast Asia and Northeast Asia, Indian Ocean with a range of the Bell Schools real experts on these subjects and trying to explore what's happening in those areas and what it means for Australia, how Australia should be adjusting to the kinds of changes we're seeing in those different areas and how we should be evolving our policy in order to respond to those challenges.


From DailyDoseOfWeirdNews.com, I'm Darren Marlar and this is your Daily Dose of Weird News! This episode is brought to you by the audiobook One Bad Night by Jason R. Davis, narrated by Darren Marlar. Here's a free sample on the audiobooks page at MarlarHouse.com. What comes to mind when you think of back-to-school prep – stocking up on notebooks and pencils, a trip to the mall for the latest sneakers, how about watching hours of content on YouTube? Well, for Generation Z, the video platform has become an integral part of the yearly late summer ritual, providing product suggestions, style inspiration, and do-it-yourself ideas. The most popular content of middle school students is hairstyles, makeup, and pranks. High school students look most at advice sites, life hacks, and skits. And college students are surfing mostly for advice and tech products. Do they make a Cliff's Notes version of YouTube? A woman in Germany called police to report what she thought was a bare-chested man with two big white dots on his forehead staring into her window. Well, the man turned out to be an emu, which had escaped from a local zoo. I can only assume that men look a lot different in Germany. Long drives and short fuses do not mix. A recent study shows that the average couple can last only 22 minutes into a road trip before they get into their first argument. That means most couples start bickering not long after they leave the driveway. The most common cause of car crankiness is clashes over directions, with 44% of the respondents to this recent survey admitting they fought over which way to go. Seems much of the stress of driving is caused by our own partner when we're behind the wheel. Which is exactly why every Sunday before heading to church, I lock my wife in the trunk. Hundreds of pastors from Richmond, Virginia have signed a new statement of unity, rejecting the ideology of white supremacy and affirming that every human being is created in the image of God. According to CBN, the Metro Richmond pastors and ministry leaders who signed this statement repented for any role the church has played in the sins of racism and resolved to preach, teach and advocate against it. But then somebody mentioned that Jesus wasn't white and a fist fight broke out. Your puppy may have a better understanding of language than you think. Researchers in Budapest used fMRI to monitor 13 dogs while they listened to human speech. The scientists discovered that the animals processed both the meaning of words and the tone in which the words were spoken, using similar areas of the brain that humans do. So, your chewed-up slippers may not be because he's a bad dog, but because his feelings were hurt when you said bad dog. The nation's largest atheist organization, Freedom from Religion, is demanding that Senator Marco Rubio, a Republican from Florida, stop tweeting Bible verses from his Twitter account, telling him that doing so is a violation of the United States Constitution. No, it's not. It's kind of interesting, a group who's always screaming for freedom of speech when they want to say something don't believe in free speech for people that say stuff they don't agree with.  A study reports that older women are doing more and more binge drinking, usually after seeing the selection of older men available to them. In England, a farmer thanked firefighters who rescued a litter of piglets and two sows from a barn fire in February by giving them sausages made out of the animals. Well, good thing they didn't have to save his kids from the fire. The study says every droid in the workforce is going to cost six humans their jobs. Plus, they don't pick it for $15 an hour. In fact, they don't get paid at all, and they're perfectly happy about it. On September 9th, in Austin, Texas, they're going to have a clown-only showing of the new movie It, based on the Stephen King novel. Because just being a Stephen King movie isn't disturbing enough. A guy in New Zealand was robbed of everything in his pockets by two men with a garden rake. So, once you anti-Second Amendment folks get the guns banned, you'll next have to work on banning garden utensils. Sears says it's going to close another 28 Kmart stores. If you see a Blue Light special, it might be a sale on buying the actual store. Oreos are one of the most diverse cookies on the snack shelf. While most of us are accustomed to the traditional chocolate cookie and vanilla cream in the middle, there are literally dozens of other possible flavors that have been floated over the years, from avocado Oreo to firework Oreo. But now, Oreo may be prepared to top all of them. By releasing a mystery flavor. No specific word on where or when it will actually be released. I'm not sure I like this mystery flavor idea. That did not go over so well when I was in school and we had mystery meet Monday. A police chase in Arkansas last week caught everyone's eye as cops were after a man in a black Hummer with a casket on top. First attempt at an inconspicuous getaway vehicle of all time. It was every mother's nightmare. Michelle Denning called police because her 9-year-old son Josh was missing. He'd been last seen in his bedroom the night before. For nearly four hours, a search party roamed the area looking for the UK boy. The police force put dozens of officers, search dogs and even a helicopter to work. And then they decided to check the family home one more time and found Josh under his bed. But more specifically, in his bed he had crawled through a gap in the bed frame. Officers found him after deciding to actually lift up all the beds. Turns out he was hiding because he didn't want to go to school. I think the perfect punishment for this kid? Homeschooling. That way he's always at school. Bill Nye, the science guy, has hit Disney with a $28 million lawsuit claiming he didn't receive enough profits from his TV series. This is what happens when people don't watch your show after finding out you have zero credibility, you're criticizing people when you have no science degree at all, only a degree in engineering. Bill Nye, the lying guy. As of next month, you can get your hands on a slice of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge's wedding cake when it gets auctioned off to raise money for charity. The fruit cake was designed by cake maker Fiona Carnes with Kate Middleton's passion for flowers and their meanings in mind. It has eight tiers and is decorated with 900 sugar-paste flowers. It's expected to sell for thousands of pounds per piece after one slice was sold in 2014 for around 8,000 pounds or about 9,456 US dollars. Unfortunately though, being six years old, the cake isn't actually edible. Well, it's a fruit cake and I thought the half-life on those was like twice as long as Twinkies. The new field at Tenino High School in Washington State is getting a lot of talk. They went with a black turf. Add in the team's black uniforms, the school colors, and other teams are complaining that it'll be hard to see the players. Really? The New York Jets wear green on green turf. They're considered the worst team in the NFL this year. Your argument is invalid. Everyone knows raising kids is hard, but what's the hardest moment of a mom's day? Well, according to a recent study of over 1,000 parents by Privilege Insurance, it's exactly 5.08 pm. The reason? 5.08 pm is right when the battle begins to feed, bathe, and get those little tykes to bed. Many parents surveyed confessed that meltdowns often ensue when their kids refuse to eat what's on their plate or hop in the tub or drift off to sleep. I'm not a parent, but my guess would be the toughest part of the day for a parent would be waking up in the morning knowing you have to start parenting all over again. They had a lockdown at Buckingham Palace Friday after a guy with a machete drove up and started swinging at guards. Somebody has been watching way too much supernatural on the CW. Right in the middle of the New Orleans Square in Disneyland is the inconspicuous entrance to one of the most whispered about spots in Disney parks across the globe, Club 33. Club 33 is a secret five-star restaurant that the regular public cannot access. There are only two ways to get into Club 33, being an exclusive member or being invited by one. Membership costs up to $100,000 annually with a reported $12,500 to $30,000 in additional annual fees. As of 2012, there was a 14-year waiting list for membership applicants. Which means you don't have to wait in line though for the rides and shows, it might actually be worth it. Gone With The Wind will be gone from the Orpheums 2018 summer movie series in Memphis after several patrons went to this year's show and called it insensitive. Let me say that again, Gone With The Wind will not be shown as originally planned at the Orpheums 2018 summer movie series in Memphis because a few people complained that it was insensitive. Eight Academy Awards, five Oscar nominations, it won the People's Choice Award for Favorite All-Time Motion Picture, constantly in the top 10 greatest films of all time, and yet a few snowflakes keep it from playing at a film festival because their teeny-weeny feelings might be hurt.  If The New York Times motto is all the news that's fit to print, the National Enquirers is all the news inside is made up. So don't be shocked when you hear that since the beginning of the year, UFO sightings are up, way up, and right now the U.S. has 300 times the number of UFO reports than the global median. Looking at the way people dress in Los Angeles alone, I can see why the aliens might feel more at home there than anywhere else in the world. Agnes Fenton was prescribed alcohol by a doctor for a benign tumor in 1943. He's been drinking whiskey and beer ever since. Agnes died last week in New Jersey at the age of 112. Now, if I can only get my doctor to write me a prescription for that, so I have permission to take my medication while at work. The federal appeals court agreed with a lower court's ruling saying coach Joe Kennedy would not be able to go back to his coaching job at a Washington high school after he was dismissed for praying after football games. Kennedy was suspended in 2015 after he refused to stop praying at midfield after football games. He then sued the district on religious freedom grounds. He also sought a ruling against the district on whether he could return to work. But Wednesday, the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled against Kennedy. Okay, so let me get this straight then.
