I'm going to be talking about the integer<PHONE_NUMBER>4076800. So the first question is, why is this integer interesting? Well, one thing you can notice is that 640320 cubed. Well, that's not terribly interesting. There are lots of cubes. The real reason why it's interesting is if you work out e to the pi root 163. This turns out to be<PHONE_NUMBER>40768743.9999999999999999925 and so on. So we've got this spectacular sequence of nines just after the decimal point. In other words, this is amazingly close to being an integer. It's so close that an ordinary pocket calculator can't check this, and you need special software. There's an online calculator, which does very high precision called free 42 that I'll try and put a link to in the video description just in case you want to check this. So Martin Gardner in his mathematical games column once had a mathematical hoax, which I can show you. His columns were reprinted in a series of books, and this book is Time, Travel, and Other Mathematical Bewilderments. And on page 126, he says, the number theory, the really exciting discovery is when you raise e to the power of pi root 163, the result is an integer, which isn't true. And then he talks about Ramanujan, who was one of the most extraordinary mathematicians of all time. He was entirely self-taught and grew up in poverty, but somehow managed to become one of the world's greatest mathematicians. And Ramanujan did indeed have a note in the quarterly journal of pure and applied mathematics that, in fact, we'll look at later. And this is the correct value of e to the pi root 163 as far as it goes. But then Martin Gardner claims the nines continue, which isn't correct. So what's going on? Is this just a meaningless coincidence? I mean, if you get enough numbers, then some of them are going to end with lots of nines just by coincidence. Well, let's check a few other examples. e to the pi root 67 is equal to<PHONE_NUMBER>43.999998. How about another one? e to the pi root 43 is equal to 8, 84736743.9998. So something is obviously going on. There's something else a bit weird. If you look here, they all end in the same three digits, 743. So we seem to be getting the number 744. And this is very odd, because this only seems to be happening because we are working in a base 10 number system. So there shouldn't be any relation between these, even if they are all integers. So what happens if you do these in a different base? Well, really oddly, even if you write out these numbers in several other bases, the last three digits are quite often 743 in whatever base you're working in. So there's something odd going on about that. Remember the number 744. So what's the explanation for all this? Well, this is related to something called the elliptic modular function. And I'm going to give you the definition of the elliptic modular function. And I warn you in advance, the definition of the elliptic modular function kind of looks like a hoax. It looks like some random nonsense thought up by somebody who was either trying to play a joke or had no idea what was going on. So you take 1 plus 240 times the sum over m greater than 0. You sum over n greater than 0. And you take m cubed times q to the mn. Here, q is equal to e to the 2 pi i tau, just in case this wasn't complicated enough. And this is by no way near complicated enough. So let's cube that for no particularly good reason. And let's make it more complicated. We'll divide it by q. And then, I don't know, let's divide it by 1 minus cubed for 24 for no particular reason. And 1 minus q squared for 24 and 1 minus cubed for 24. And let's just keep going. As you see, this is just a completely ridiculous thing to do. So what on earth is the point of this function? Well, if you look at the function f of tau equals e to the 2 pi i tau, this is the simplest function, which satisfies f of tau is equal to f of tau plus 1. And see this by writing this by all its formulas cosine of 2 pi tau plus i sine of 2 pi tau. So these are the trigonometric functions cos and sine. And j of tau is equal to j of 1 plus tau. But it's also equal to j of minus 1 over tau. And e to the 2 pi i tau is the simplest function satisfying this property here. And j turns out to be the simplest function satisfying these properties here. Well, apart from constants, of course, which is a bit silly. It's always struck me as really extraordinary how this really simple condition on a function, the simplest function, turns out to be this extraordinarily complicated mess. So what does j of tau look like? Well, first of all, you can expand it as a power series of q. And as you might expect, it looks like a real mess. So it looks like this. And well, what do we see here? Well, first of all, we've got this number 744. And I told you to remember 744 from the previous sheet because it was appearing at the end of all these numbers. And here it is appearing again, which is certainly rather fishy. There's also this number 196884 that I want to remember because it's going to appear later as well. I can also show you some pictures of the elliptic modular function. These come from a rather old book by Yonka and Emda. So it's their book Tables of Functions with Formulae and Curves. And it was first published in 1909. And what you should remember when you see this picture is that 1909 was many, many years before computer graphics programs were out. And these rather spectacular pictures were drawn by hand by an expert draftsman. Heaven knows how many calculations they had to do to get them. So this is the graph of the elliptic modular function. Well, it's not quite. It's actually a graph of the absolute value of the elliptic modular function on the upper half plane. Well, that's not really right either. It's actually a graph of a different elliptic modular function, but the real elliptic modular function looks kind of like this. See, all these things sticking up are poles. They're called poles for obvious reason. If you've ever taken a complex analysis course and wondered why poles were called poles, this picture should make it pretty obvious. So here's a second view from the other side of the elliptic modular function. There should really be infinite numbers of poles getting smaller and smaller, but I guess they're draftsman ran out of patience after drawing five of them. So what does the elliptic modular function have to do with e to the pi root 163? Well, let's look at j of minus one plus root minus one, six, three over two. And this turns out to be<PHONE_NUMBER>87680000. This is exact. And this is really bizarre that it's exactly an integer because the definition of the function was a complete mess and you would normally expect the value of any such function to have a lot of rubbish after the decimal point, but this turns out to be exactly an integer. So Martin Gardner wasn't so far off in his hoax that there's a very similar funny looking number that is exactly an integer. Well, why is it an exact integer? Well, I'll explain that a little bit later. Well, I won't explain it a little bit later, but I will comment on it a little bit later. Now, if you expand j of tau as q to minus one plus 744 plus one, nine, six, eight, eight, four, q and so on, with q is equal to e to the two pi i times this number here, it turns out that what you get is minus e to the pi root 163 plus 744 minus one, nine, six, eight, eight, four, e to the minus pi root 163 and so on. So what have we got here? Well, first of all, we've got this number e to the pi root 163 that we started, that we mentioned in the first sheet.  Now, you may think it doesn't look tiny because one, nine, six, eight, eight, four looks really big. However, pi times 163 is a pretty large number and e to the minus a large number is absolutely tiny. I mean, it's sort of 10 to the minus 12 and these numbers here are even smaller. So what we see is that if we rearrange this, we find e to the pi root 163 is equal to<PHONE_NUMBER>8076800 coming from that plus 744 plus something tiny rather than minus something tiny. And this is why e to the pi root 163 is so close to an integer.  Okay, well, what's the big deal about 163? So why 163? If you replace 163 by most integers, you don't get anything like an integer. You get something that looks much more complicated. But it turns out that if you look at j of a plus root minus b over c where a, b and c are integers, there is an exact expression for this. And sometimes this exact expression is an integer. Well, what happens when it isn't an integer? Well, that's what Ramanogen's paper is about. So you remember on the first piece of paper I'd mentioned Barton Godin as a hoax where he mentioned Ramanogen's paper. And here's a copy of Ramanogen's paper. If you want to look this up, it's in a copy of Ramanogen's collected papers. And if you go to here, let me just magnify it again so you can see it more clearly. You see Ramanogen is indeed discussing numbers of the form e to the pi times root something. He's got e to the pi root 58 is something, something, something 0.999. And in the rest of his paper, he works out cases of this where you don't get an integer. And here are some examples of it. So you see he's got several pages and I'll go on to some of the more spectacular ones. So here he's got several pages of examples. And let's just go down here where he's got a particularly spectacular example. So here he's got an example of a special value of one of these functions where it takes four lines to write out and involves large numbers of square roots and so on of various random integers. So clearly Ramanogen had a lot of spare time on his hands for working these out. Of course, he was doing this way before computers were around, he did all this by hand calculation. So I still haven't really explained why 163 works better than other integers. Well, this comes from something Euler did. So Euler had this rather famous polynomial x squared plus x. This was x squared minus x plus 41, which is prime for x equals one, two, up to 40. So for x equals one, it's 41. For x equals two, it's 43. And for x equals 40, it's 1601. So it's very good at producing primes. And there are some other polynomials like this x squared minus x plus 17 is prime for x equals one, up to 16, where that goes from the prime 17 up to 257. And x squared minus x plus 11 is prime for x equals one, up to 10, where it goes from 11 to 101, I guess. And it turns out that these polynomials, these are just quadratic polynomials and they have discriminants, b squared minus 4ac. And the discriminant here is minus 163. And here the discriminant is minus 67. Here it's minus 43. And now you remember these numbers 163, 67, and 43 were the numbers that appeared on my first sheet of paper in this exponent here. And it turns out that if this polynomial is often prime, then e to the pi times root minus the discriminant is nearly an integer. And j of, that follows because j of minus one plus root d over two is an exact integer. So you can ask, are there any numbers bigger than 163 for this happens? Well, this was a famous open problem that Gauss asked. And Hager and Stark in about 1950s and 1960s showed that in fact, there are no numbers bigger than 163 with this funny property. Okay, there's one other weird property of the elliptic modular function I want to mention. So you remember j of tau was equal to q to the minus one plus 744 plus one, nine, six, eight, eight, four, q and so on. And I asked you to keep an eye on this number, one, nine, six, eight, eight, four. Well, this number turns up because there is a mathematical object called the monster group discovered by Grice, which lives in one, nine, six, eight, eight, three dimensions. You can imagine there's a sort of huge snowflake living in one, nine, six, eight, eight, three dimensions. And the monster group is the collection of symmetries of this snowflake. And the number of elements it has is completely ridiculous. It has about eight times 10 to the 53 elements. So there's a video by three blue, one brown, who's already talked about this number. So I'm not going to repeat him and I'll try and add a link to his video, although this is probably pointless because my guess is most people seeing my video probably came by watching his video, but anyway. So the monster group is very mysterious related to the elliptic modular function. So John McKay noticed these two numbers were very nearly the same and that turns out not to be a coincidence. This observation is one of the few pieces of higher mathematics that has appeared in a comic book. So here we have a copy of the book Planetary, Volume One by Ellis and Cassaday. And they actually have a picture of the monster group here. So let me just zoom in on this. So, and you can tell this is actually the monster group by what they say about it. So down here, they mention that, you know, it's a theoretical snowflake in one, nine, six, eight, three, three dimensional space. And if you were paying careful attention, they've got a misprint here. It should be one, nine, six, eight, eight, three dimensional space. And then they say the total number of rotations are equal to the number of atoms making up the earth. Well, that's more or less correct. The number of elements of the monster group is indeed more or less the same as the number of atoms making up the number of making up the earth. And when I say more or less the same, I mean, wrong by a factor of a few thousand or so, but whatever. I guess strictly speaking, the picture of the monster is also completely unlike the monster, but so they've got the order wrong and they've got the dimension wrong and they've got the picture wrong. Yeah, well, apparently comic books are not a reliable source of information about mathematics. So I will just finish by giving some further things you can find out more about. You may have noticed, I did not actually give an explanation of anything in this talk. If you want to see an explanation of what's going on, it requires a certain amount of graduate level mathematics. So first of all, if you want to know what the elliptic modular function is, there's this very nice book by a post or called Modular Functions and Dirichlet series in number theory and he explains the elliptic modular function. Here is his definition of it and describes its basic properties. If you would like to know why the elliptic modular function is sometimes an integer, the Bible of this subject is the book introduction to the arithmetic theory of automorphic functions by Shimura. So here, for example, he has a theorem saying that under certain conditions, J and Z, that's the elliptic modular function, is an algebraic integer. This book is even harder than a postals book. And finally, if you would like to know more about the monster simple group, there is a construction of it in this book by Conway and Sloan called Sphere Packings, Lattices and Groups. So if you look at chapter 29 by Conway, he has a construction of the monster in 1, 9, 6, 8, 8, 4-dimensional space. Okay, so that's all about the number, whatever.

Thank you, Brian, for that very appropriate question. That's exactly the challenge of this group. It's a collective effort to identify where we're going to focus now. You yourself didn't help us a lot yesterday. Fair comment, but I will take my job. No, I think that it's a really challenging issue. The question which Board has asked us in the last meeting, where are we dropping? I think we have dropped some things on the margin, but we really need to go much more in-depth in terms of thinking about this. I think that is very clearly also what the Science Council is trying to do with MTP, making us make much more explicit where we're going. So I think it's a fair comment. One of the things specifically that you said, the evolution of research, you spoke of upstream importance and downstream of the integration and innovation with reduced emphasis in the middle areas of traditional research. What exactly do you mean? I thought some of those traditional areas of research were our strength. Specifically, what are you talking about? What will go? What we clearly have done, I think over the last few years, is, for example, gone out of a lot of feeding trials, a lot of testing of hundreds of accessions of gel plastic, for example. A number of those areas which I think are national partners are very capable of doing it, doing them in a more decentralized, much more cost-effective way. I mean, if you think of our own work in here, particularly in the resume, for example, of feeding, I think we've now focused it much more strategically in terms of adapting to changing, fluctuating feeding systems, focusing on feed crops, dropping things like rum and microbes, a number of those areas. So I think we are trying to focus and come back to your first question. So I would say that the feeding and weighing type of experiment, this clearly I think we don't need to do with it. I think we recognize that in a very complex ecosystem setting, as the Interacademy Council has shown for Africa, these things have to be done locally. And in a sense we provide building blocks, but it is very much our partners who are establishing, building those in actual systems. But the things you've spoken of are things that we've already discarded. Are there some other things that we're doing now that are vulnerable? That's a good question. I think we hope that the things will actually be doing that, challenging of your own assumptions, and I think management is helping it by raising some questions about the number of those areas. But I think, for example, a very valid question is, should we continue characterizing every animal on the globe? For example, do we train, as we're doing now with the work that Han is doing in China, establishing a capacity in China to do the molecular characterization of their animals? So that's, for example, a trend which certainly I would see, that we're developing approaches, training other people and getting them to do it, rather than us sort of monopolizing the world's characterization of molecular characterization of animals. Moving on, theme two is very much your flagship. I think this is the making things happen at the front line, is what you said when you first came in as a director general, and you talked of a paradigm shift of knowledge management, not knowledge generation. I don't know whether the word not was there. We seem to have difficulty finding a leader for that particular theme, or maintaining a leader. Do you think that this is realistic? Should we really be having this as a theme, or should we having this integrated into all the other activities of the research? Well, I think this is part of actually being ahead of the path. I think this is the present thinking of how you link research to actual development. It's obviously an area where you don't find a lot of practitioners. We're too far into that. Well, I hope not. I think what we're saying is we need to expand the way we cast our net to bring in appropriate leadership, and we cannot be right now be driven by people in the agricultural sector. So we really are trying to look for that intellectual leadership and bring that together with our own lives of expertise to ground it on lives of innovations. What is the danger of this becoming too close to development? Allen warned that we shouldn't be drawn into the development arena. We are a research institute. Do you feel that there's a danger in that area that we're going to be drawn too far into development? I think this is obviously a very tricky balance to maintain, but I think we were coming from a corner where I think Hillary was seen as doing great science but not having impact on the ground. And I think what we're trying to do is to make sure that that's not it. I think we've produced a lot of knowledge assets, but we're not being able to really get them out there to be used. And I think that's exactly the challenge. Think about our thinking on genetic resources. It's actually not leading as only we described yesterday into actual bringing problems, for example. So making those links is what an innovation system is about. I don't know whether this is part of it, but you did make a statement in your address that soft skills are important. I didn't quite understand that. What are they?  And how do you know that? Well, I think the fact that we realize that we're moving from, if you want, a more self-standing research production entity to a much more network-distributed way of working implies that having facilitation skills to develop complex projects, for example, coming out front with a clear understanding of what the partners want, how you structure it, managing those complex relationships where people don't have line responsibility to you, those set of skills are going to be more and more important in the type of research that we're trying to do. Fundraising is absolutely critical and a lot of pressure on the operating project leaders in this. What are you personally doing without in fundraising for a week? Okay. I'm spending about half my work time travelling, basically visiting a lot of our donors. Our core effort is to maintain the unrestricted contributions to the centre, which are basically the glue which allows things like this to happen, which no project would pay for. And at the same time, that's always a scouting mission in terms of identifying new trends, new demands out there and bringing those messages back. As you know, a particular effort of mine has been how we engage, particularly in Nordic countries with our CGL agenda. We have not been very good at attracting staff from those countries and so their contribution has been financial contributions, but they want to make more substantive contributions. So we have been now developing schemes of shared appointments. I think we've got Hannah here. The first case we're doing with Sweden, Jan knows about this, we're establishing a bioinformatics position which will be sharing time with us and such. So that's been one of the... I've insisted that really resource mobilisation is not just dollars, but it's people, it's political support that you really have to drive all those things. That's a number of things where people want to see the DG. That's why I'm on the road. Okay, good. You're very much embroil in the CGIR integration in Africa, and why I think it's clearly a good idea from our national regional partners point of view. Are joint MTPs remotely feasible? Can we really achieve something there? I think that depends on how you define the joint MTP. I think we are realistically saying it's not an expectation that every petty little activity will have to be consulted with everybody else, but that large lines of work, major programmes, are really discussed, negotiated across centres and with national partners. There's more communication rather than having these wonderful new joint activities, MTPs and activities. What we have been discussing is obviously if Burundi wants germplasm or potatoes, they'll just prostrate to sick, but if they're talking about natural resource management in a certain region, probably a number of centres are involved, or if they're talking about information sharing or policy makers or whatever, those things don't have clear institutional allocations and make sense to be much more broadly integrated. So actually what we're proposing is to identify, ideally, one of the key areas where there's a huge gain to be achieved from synergies and start from those is to expect to rationalise every little programme. I think one of the things that worries several people is that we're the only livestock centre in the CG and as we get drawn more into this regional MTPs and all this sort of thing, are we going to get lost? Are we going to lose our primary function of livestock research? I think that's a very valid point and I think the board is very conscious of that. If you read a statement the board produced at the last board meeting, we're clearly emphasising that in the home structure we feel that the CGR needs to maintain a global presence as a livestock entity. So clearly we're saying that we can work in the regional context and very useful and certainly from our roots we're very much linked to the Africa region but we still need to maintain that global emphasis. I mean, Dan, Cezyn College, you have a reputation of being the most politically correct as a director of a research institute. Is that an absolute or a weakness? I'll be bold. It depends what setting you're talking about. I mean, you pay attention to making sure that things are done correctly that we're giving, I haven't been honoured at about the time, but do you feel that if you've got to be and your heart knows on research, sometimes the political correctness might interfere with that? I think that political correctness relates much more to how you do things than what you do. I think we have made the decisions of what we do on a very technical base but found ways to do it, I think, which are acceptable to the partners. I think that's the art that you want them running. The last question then is, what will your legacy be caused? What do you want to be remembered for, Julie? We made some impact with our research. At the moment, I think we have a huge stock of knowledge out there. We've started a number of things which are out there. We haven't made sure, as we said before, that actually that turns into changes in people's livelihoods. That's where we are trying to put the effort to build that up front into our research. Thank you very much. Thank you.


Hi, I'm Louisa Clements from livinglue.com and I'm a produce-maids-and-bull ambassador. Today I'm making delicious decadent and fudgy white chocolate and apple blondies featuring Ontario gala apples. Start by preheating your oven to 350 degrees and line an 8x8 baking dish with parchment paper. Now prepare your apples. Peel and thinly slice one gala apple and heat a medium nonstick frying pan over medium-low heat. Melt one tablespoon of butter and add the sliced apples and cook, stirring occasionally until they are very soft and browned and caramelized. This takes about 12 to 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in a quarter teaspoon of cinnamon. Spoon the apples into a separate small bowl and allow to cool for 5 to 10 minutes. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk the melted butter with brown sugar until combined. Whisk in one egg and the vanilla extract. Using a spatula, stir in flour, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt. Fold in cooled apple slices and half a cup of white chocolate chips. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and use a spatula to smooth the top. It's a thick batter so you may need to bang the bottom of the pan on the counter to ensure it's evenly spread. Sprinkle with the remaining white chocolate chips and bake in the center of the oven for 25 to 30 minutes until the edges are browned. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 15 minutes and then lift the parchment paper out of the baking pan and cool completely on a wire rack before cutting into 16 squares. These apple blondies smell amazing. My favorite way to eat them is with a cup of coffee in the morning, but they'd also be perfect on any dessert tray. Please like, comment and subscribe for more products made simple. Thanks for watching and we'll see you next time.


Good morning, folks. This is Steve Rhodes coming to you live from the shores of very sunny Delray Beach, Florida this year 11 a.m. Up a slightly mixed bag out there that makes coming from the semis What you're down basically seven points a quarter percent Otherwise all the other US indices are trading to the upside down is up 37 s and P 9 Nasdaq's there up 39 there else is up 15. That's the biggest mover to the upside about eight tenths percent to the upside Spot politics is back 62 pennies 23 49. I believe that takes it back below. It's 50 day exponential moving average That's something we'll look at momentarily. You've got gold trading out at 1766. That's up five bucks. Silver's up about flat Trading out at 1903 let's recruit up 75 pennies 94 47. It's a print there natural gas back four cents nine dollars and ten cents is where it is at right now in a 30-year treasure soft one point and nine ticks 136 07 is its print. Let's look at that nine panel market up a chart. We begin with the ES many Right now the level of support happens to be the center of its weekly profile. That's at 41 21 If we did see a close blow that that's going to suggest lower price However, as long as that spot volatility remains below its 50 day Exponential moving average the 50 days at 2368 the spot volatility right now is at 2346 Praise close to blow that 50 day. We should see the ES mini go target the bottom of that daily profile 41 77 really the same Scenario for the NQ. However, the NQ is not sitting at any level of support out there So it may be taking its fees and cues from the ES mini. We take a look at that US dollar index yesterday I'd we are getting back to a previous. I believe that was July 14th That was at the 109 14 level that area was rejected. You actually generated a Road went to Mindicator top yesterday. That was a bull a bearish up Dark cloud cover candle There's a new profile that keeps shifting around So we really don't have no way whether this profile is solid This is right now below price early this morning. It was not below price So not really sure what to make of it, but you do have a I would say this The weekly profile level which price did close above is 108 39 the price gets below that You should expect to anticipate lower price for the US dollar index gold back inside its Bearish structured weekly profile not really a great read here Silver does have a new profile that is attempting to form the support level there is at 1883 resistance 1928 likes recruit did close above the top of its daily profile Indicating trend line that's suggesting to move up to 97 82. You got that TD 9 count pattern that completed in natural gas prices below its oscillator and chains line which at 918 That suggests move to 883 or 822 and the 30 year Treasury almost done meaning back to support the bottom of that Weekly profile at 135 26 folks. Stay tuned for the Trader's Ed show But if you're off to start your Wednesday, please have a wonderful senior sir


Hey, it's Dave with alexfurgus.com back with another video for you guys today and today We're gonna be talking about Apple's new smartwatch the series 6 Apple watch. I'm actually wearing it right now now I wear a ton of different wearables. I've got an aura ring I've got the bio strap Evo and now I've been using the Apple watch 6 What makes the Apple watch 6 appealing? It can track a bunch of different biometrics just like the aura ring and the bio strap Evo But is it something that you really might want to consider if you already have an aura ring or a bio strap? Or possibly a whoop or a Fitbit? That's a little bit tougher to answer So I'm gonna try and walk through some of the pros some of the cons that I found when using the Apple watch series 6 And hopefully I can help you make a better decision about whether or not the Apple watch 6 is something You might want to consider looking into for yourself as you may have heard Apple has finally put a blood oxygen sensor in the Apple watch 6 What that means is that now you can take blood oxygen samples Anytime you want on demand or the watch will automatically take those samples about every 30 minutes from my testing Now I've gone through my data and it looks to be about every 30 minutes Normally if there's no movement detected the same thing can be said for the bio strap which also takes blood oxygen levels I've noticed that my passive blood oxygen readings normally happen overnight so The blood oxygen sensor is definitely an added bonus and something that Apple Probably should have included back in the series 4 series 5 But I'm glad to see it now with the series 6 Another new feature that Apple has put into the Apple watch isn't always on as a brighter always on screen Now they've had the always on screen for a little while now, but now they've made it about 20% brighter now in full Honestly, I don't have a series 5 Apple watch to compare the brand new series 6 2 to put them side by side and actually see if it Looks brighter, but I will say it's it's bright enough when you leave it on the always-on setting Under strong sunlight you might have a little bit of a harder time seeing the always-on screen without actually touching Tapping or raising the watch to get the watch to wake up. There's a bunch of new bands that they came out with for the series 6 That's another pro that I think you might want to consider They have the solo loop band and the solo braided loop band now And these are made out of a single piece of silicone and the user can simply stretch it slide it on Kind of like one of those live strong bracelets if you remember those silicone bracelets that were all the rage a few years ago so When I got my series 6, I decided to stick with a regular style band and in fact, I'll show you my my watch I have the Nike edition Which is it's not anything fancy. It's just It comes with a couple of different strap options and it comes with a couple of different watch faces available That I think you can probably pick up anyway if you get any of the different Apple watches But it does come with those already on the watch But I liked the strap and that's really why I went with the Nike edition, but here is I got mine in Silver with the gray Nike edition sport loop a sport band and it's black and Gray I don't I like the way it looks That's mainly the rain reason why I got it I decided to go with the smaller of the two and I'll talk about that in a little bit about the pricing I Had the very first Apple watch Apple ever created this they actually now call it the series zero not the series one I was an early adopter. I picked it up and I worked for quite a while for probably about six months on a daily basis or I tried to here's the rub The original Apple watch now known as series zero had a lot of problems It wasn't very water resistant. It could take a light splash possibly, but you couldn't wear in the shower You couldn't swim with it If you went out hiking or camping and it rained it was not a good thing for that watch at all The battery life wasn't the greatest the processor was the big thing for me. It was very slow apps would Just kind of freeze and hang and it just it didn't seem ready for prime time it definitely felt like a product that in The future I could see myself getting into and so I kind of waited on the sidelines and Every iteration of the Apple watch that came out out Apple kept tweaking it fixing it adding new features boosting performance getting better battery life and It wasn't until they included the blood oxygen sensor in the series six that I said, you know I'm really curious to see if the performance is there the battery life is there and now finally it's got enough Sensors and features in it could possibly replace all the different wearables that I'm wearing and just consolidated all into one Well, it's definitely faster. It's faster than the series five, but only by maybe a little bit I think most people aren't gonna really notice a big difference between a series five and a series six Now if you're jumping from like from what my case a series zero into a series six. Yeah, I think you're probably gonna I mean, it's like night and day to me It's it's almost like it's a different piece of technology altogether Another thing to consider with the Apple watch that you're not gonna find on aura or bio strap is that it fits into a large ecosystem of expandable Applications the same goes with exercise apps And even sleep apps and we'll get into that in just a minute, you know It's more than just a biomet, biometric and fitness tool the watch itself now is Capable of you know doing handoff with your music to your phone and vice versa You can text message on it. There's definitely been some times when I've got my hands full and I Can't grab my phone or I'm cooking and I've got stuff all over my hands And I don't want I have to wash my hands or wipe my hands off to pick up my phone so I don't get my phone all dirty It is nice just to be able to kind of Tap on the foot on the watch and be able to take a phone call. So that is handy the notification system I Find very very very intuitive to use I can turn off individual apps and have no notifications from them I can set it up to mirror the notifications that I am currently getting on my iPhone On my iPhone and so the two work, you know seamlessly together So you can set it up to basically just mirror everything your iPhone does or you can dial it in and dive deeper and Individually turn on and off the notifications for all of the different apps that are on your watch And that's another thing too to remember is that you don't have to have all the apps that are on your phone on your watch You can pick and choose which ones The phone will send over to the watch Which is also kind of a con and I'll get to that in a minute. So There is you know a Large ecosystem around the Apple Watch 6 and there are a lot of apps for it And it does more than just a typical fitness tracker Whereas the BioStrap or the Aura they're very very focused They're there, you know, they they track your activity They give you a readiness or recovery score Which is something that out of the box the Apple Watch 6 will not do Apple has a lot has launched Fitness plus that works with the watch and either your iPhone or your iPad or your Apple TV and I think that Apple is going in the direction of home fitness inside of their ecosystem By tying in all of the different You know peripherals and technology that everybody's got so For example, when you launch Apple Fitness the new subscription service, you know You can choose from a plethora of different activities whether it's biking stationary bicycle high intensity Training core strength dance yoga. There's a cool down There's a few others in there as well your Apple Watch then becomes a live heart rate monitor in real time and that data and information is displayed as a In a heads-up way in the corner of the screen as you follow along the fitness instructor It all opens and launches Seamlessly the watch just links up to whatever gadget you're using to work out on I didn't have any problems trying it out If you do get a new series 6 Apple watch, you do get three months to try out Fitness plus which is kind of nice so you can figure out if you like it or not And the nice thing is is that if you don't like Fitness Plus you can cancel it easily And anyone that's ever gone to a gym and had to try and cancel a gym membership We'll know what I what a hassle that can be sometimes. Well with Apple you just go into your settings and just disable the The the renewal on the register on the on the monthly subscription. It's really really easy All of that said Apple has almost all of the same sensor Capabilities as the bio strap Evo and the aura ring minus the temperature sensor in the aura So you do have the hardware capability on your wrist with an Apple Watch 6 to capture all of the same biometric data that The bio strap Evo or the aura ring minus the temperature overnight body temperature But the way you go about getting all of that information May depend on the apps from the app store that you choose to download because like I said out of the box the Apple Watch 6 Will not display the same level of detail about the biometrics of your body overnight for example And that gets into Apple sleep tracking Apple has now entered the realm of sleep tracking with the advent of the Apple Watch 6 They also rolled out watch OS 7 the operating system for the watch for the watches and iOS 14 for the iPhones. I've seen a lot of negative press about Apple and their sleep tracking Mainly because everybody was kind of it's been used to and expecting to see sleep stages Minutes in REM sleep minutes in deep sleep Latency, you know all of these metrics metrics metrics metrics data data data And I don't really think it's fair for people to really be hitting Apple that hard when it's like comparing apples to oranges Apple isn't going in the same direction that a lot of other companies and app developers are going when it comes in with regards to sleep Apple isn't giving you a bunch of data in the morning to just pour over Apple isn't giving you a Sleep score Apple isn't giving you a recovery score Apple shows you time in bed time of sleep What's your heart rate did overnight and if you met your your sleep goal, which is the core Tenant of what Apple is trying to achieve Apple is trying to instill better before bed habits and use psychology Well rather rather than just giving you a bunch of data in the morning and saying here's all your information Here's what your body did instead Apple is trying to get users to think about Winding down before they go to bed So for example when you set up your sleep schedule after you get your Apple watch You'll set up your wake your your bedtime and your wake-up time and then you can also set up a list of things That you would like to happen when you're bed when you reached your bedtime So some of these can be things like triggering your Phillips Hue bulbs if you've got color changing bulbs in your house to switch from, you know, white light to yellow light or red light you can have the Your iPhone open up a meditation app or start playing some relaxing music and then once bedtime is actually Met when once that time actually comes Both your iPhone and your Apple watch will pretty much lock themselves down and go into a do not disturb mode The Apple watch actually is a pretty decent morning alarm When my wake-up time hits in the morning the watch buzzes kind of just kind of gently on my wrist Which is a really nice way to wake up versus, you know blaring Alarm alarm sounds. So let me take a look here at my notes and see what else Yes, the new Apple watch six is water-resistant. So you don't have to worry about going swimming Going surfing Going in the shower taking a bath. It's not a problem at all price Price is definitely a consideration and a con for a lot of people when it comes to to the Apple watch series six Versus say they're competitors in the fitness tracking Biometric biohacking sphere The starting price for an Apple watch series six in the 42 millimeter size is $399 just with GPS and Wi-Fi not Cellular enabled and if you want the cellular enabled 42 millimeter entry-level model that'll set you back $499 if you want to go up to the 44 millimeter the bigger of the two watches that starts at 429 for Wi-Fi and GPS only the cellular option will bump you up to $529 and that brings me to another con is that it's Apple only So in order to get to really to get an Apple watch and enjoy the benefits of it You already have to be an iPhone user and there's no two bones about it You can't get around this It needs it needs an iPhone to pair to when you set it up initially a lot of the features and a lot of the settings That you can tweak on the Apple watch 6 you can really only do through the iPhone itself Is it worth switching to Apple and getting an iPhone just so you can get an Apple watch? I've never used a Samsung gear Which it would be kind of an equivalent on the Android platform if you're perfectly happy you on the Android platform I don't think that a $399 smart watch is Going to be enough of a reason for you to completely change platform mobile platforms now If you already own an iPhone and you don't have a bio strap or an aura ring I think that the that the Apple watch series 6 makes a really compelling case It can do just about everything that the bio strap and the aura can Provided you go on the app store and you download additional applications and load them on to the watch for Specific biometric and tracking features one of the nice things about the Apple watch series 6 is if you do log a Workout or you go for a run and you hit the start button on your run you go for a run That data will automatically be pulled and incorporated inside or as a mobile application You open up the aura app you'll see imported from Apple health that workout or that run or that you know cycling I think that if you already have an aura ring the Apple watch might be a nice a Nice way to extend some of the features that you're already getting from the aura because the aura really isn't Designed or built to be a fitness and workout tracker I know a lot of people take off their aura ring when they go to the gym because they don't want to tear it up You know when they're gripping barbells You know the bio strap on the other hand Does have a lot of workout tracking built into it and it also has the sleep tracking as well and the overnight recovery score so if you're not interested in anything outside of fitness and Working out and tracking that I think the bio strap Evo might be the way to go for you But the Apple watch is so much more than just a fitness tracker as I said It's basically like having a mini iPhone on your wrist every morning on I get up There's a calendar notification if I've got any meetings coming up that day Text messages I can send quick replies I can dictate right to my watch and tell somebody got it I'll be on my way or if my phone is on silent and I get a phone call my Apple watch will vibrate to let me know that I'm receiving a phone call So I don't accidentally you know miss a phone call because my phone's on silent I've got a an auto start for my car. I live in a cold climate I downloaded the mobile app for my auto start and Put it over onto my Apple watch and now I can start my car from my wrist Now the Apple watch series 6 is supposed to get about 18 hours on a charge Now that's entirely dependent upon whether you have the cellular version or the Wi-Fi and GPS enabled version 18 hours probably best case scenario I find that I get anywhere from about 15 to 18 hours Depends on how much I use the watch if I make any phone calls because that really seems to drain the battery pretty fast The good news on the other side of that con is that it only takes about 90 minutes to recharge the watch all the way To 100% and you can get up to 80% charge in about an hour on the Apple watch series 6 I definitely think the Apple watch series 6 is Apple's best smart watch to date with the inclusion of Blood oxygen the ability to take an EKG, which is something I haven't already mentioned But which is an electrocardiogram which can detect Irregular heartbeats on demand, you know as I get older and I've got children of my own I need to start taking better care of myself. The Apple watch will notify me of irregular heartbeats or Abnormally high heart rate It's also has fall detection, which is for me Kind of a big deal if I'm out on a ladder hanging Christmas lights and I fall and I'm unconscious the watch will detect that fall and if I don't Dismiss the the alert on there that a fall was detected It'll automatically call 911 if you're in the market for a fitness tracker and all you care about is fitness tracking. I Think the bio strap Evo is the way to go if you're in the market for a sleep tracker Mainly to track your sleep and get detailed metrics on your sleep I think the aura ring is really the way to go if you're looking for More than just fitness and sleep and you're looking for basically something that that'll help you in a bunch of different areas and Expand the capabilities of your phone and allow you to not be completely tied to your phone, but still get those critical Alerts and messages. I think the Apple watch is ideal So if you're interested in the Apple watch series 6, there's gonna be a huge blog article on alex vergis Dot-com that dives in deep and does a serious deep dive into the Apple watch 6 all of the pros all of the cons What's new possible use case scenarios and how it compares to the bio strap and the aura? I'm Dave with alex vergis.com. I hope you're having a wonderful day wherever you are and Until next time, I'll see you guys later. Thank you

Hi everyone, Joe for jazby's casewrakes.com, coming at you with 2022 Panini Mosaic Football Choice Edition, just a quick little two box, random division break, number two. Are they all right there? All-card chip. Big thanks to this group right here for making it happen. Thanks to the people who bought Spot Straight Up, congrats to the winners in that filler. We got another two boxer loaded up, too, if you want to run this back. There are the divisions right there. Let's roll it. Let's randomize names and divisions, two and a two, four times. Four the hard way for each list, one, two, three, and four, calling down a Simon, and two and a two, four times for the divisions, one, two, three, and four the hard way. After four, we got AFC South down to the AFC North.  We'll alphabetize these by division. We're going to pause the video for a few moments, see if there's any trade chatter when we come back. We'll have the break itself, so stick around. We'll see you on the other side. Hey, welcome back, everybody. Look at this. There was a trade. Well, this is my first trade of the new year, 2023, so Simon is out of the NFC West spot and into the NFC North. We'll put a T there for trades, so we know who draws first. Well, the trade in Devon is out of the North spot and into the NFC West spot. Right, and I was just going to say, Devon is a Seahawks guy, so that's why he was eager to trade for the NFC West so he can get his team. That worked out nicely. Trade window closed, TWC. Let's print. Let's rip. Let's see what we got. Good luck, everybody. Very quick break. It's only eight cards. Are we guaranteed an autograph in here? We got another two-box break of this 2022 Canadian Mosaic Choice football up in the store now. Teddy on Instagram also has personal boxes of this, if you want to be greedy and get one for yourself. Okay, be greedy. Get one for yourself. Final print out here. There it is. So there it is with the trades. Sunday to 8th. All right. There's Debo, Levisca, Chinal. Garrett Wilson. Nice. AFC East Collin. This is a good hashtag, good for the hobby story. Mike Tower. He had a nice season and might be one of the, being contentioned for offensive rookie of the year this year, amongst some others.  Two-knight. NFC North, Simon. And we got Kair Elam, rookie for the AFC East as well. Next box. We've got Tyler Lockett, Silver, the NFC West, Fletcher Cox. And our autograph here is Pierre Strong, Jr. And that's another AFC East Collin with both of the autographs in this division break. We also have some Rashad Penny, Dak Prescott, a Peacock, Patrick Mahomes. These are generally shorter printed. That's for the AFC West, Steve Lock. I'm sure Chiefs fans obviously, but anyone who's collecting or personally collecting Mahomes or invested in him would like to see him get another Super Bowl knocked out. There's Carson Strong and Jake Ferguson and a kid reporter, Carr. And that's that. Not too bad. This Mosaic Choice stuff, really nice. Got another two-box division break in the store. We've got four full spots being sold straight up. And then we've got four spots being given away in a filler. So if you can try to pay a fraction of the price, try to win a spot in this division break, pretty nice stuff here. And then Teddy on Instagram Live, our personal breaks channel at Jasper's Breaks, also his personal, individual personal box of this as well. So check it out. I'm Joe. I'll see you next time for the next one, Jasper'sCaseBreaks.com.


Grace always said, my personal motto is blind can do anything. I'm going home here! If she wants to do something, she figures out a way to do it. We never ever made a big deal about her being blind. I have wanted to always raise her like, you can do anything anybody else does, we just might need to figure out a way to do it differently. Going into her school years, Grace has always wanted to just keep right up with her sighted peers and do what they're doing. I'm in the fifth grade of Village Elementary School. It's completely an open school for everybody. Grace is in the general education classroom because she can do all of the same work as her general education peers and we want her to be able to show that. For many years, she has been able to do the lessons, but she's had multiple pieces of equipment. She often had to have an aide read to her. When Grace doesn't have access to the same things as all the other kids, it really does frustrate her. Just go get a pencil and paper. I have to use special technology that produces Braille and that speaks. Open classroom. It's been really exciting to see what technology can do for her. This year in fifth grade, she's using Google Classroom and it has just opened up a whole world for her. Lesson 12, new assignment document contents, double tap to edit. Now when I give an assignment, it's kind of a seamless transition. She's able to get the same assignment they're getting at the very same time.  We've got to do everything different just for her. This has been a game changer. Her confidence level has really gone through the roof because she feels like she's able to keep up and that she has something comparable to what her peers are using. Grace enriches this class beyond compare. It means so much for me that she is truly included in every aspect of our classroom. I like this day in age where there's like no segregation. I want to make the world know that blindness isn't a tragedy. This is who I am and I love the way I am.


Hello, in this presentation, we will describe the Statement of Equity. Objectives, we will be able to, at the end of this, describe the Statement of Owner's Equity, list the components of the Statement of Owner's Equity, and explain the reasons for a Statement of Owner's Equity. When we consider the Statement of Owner's Equity, we are, like the Income Statement and unlike the Balance Sheet, talking about a time frame, meaning we have a beginning and end point. Unlike the Income Statement, the beginning point is not zero, meaning we are going to start at the beginning point of the net value, or the equity section, of the prior balance. So what we are looking at is, where was the company on an equity basis? Where was the company in terms of net assets, in terms of assets minus liabilities, as of the beginning of the time period. So in this case, December 31st. And then what happened in terms of the activity during that time period, and then where did we leave off at the end of the time period? So note that we have two distinct points here in time that we are looking into. One is a distinct point where we're showing the value of the company in terms of book value basis, assets minus liabilities, at the beginning of the time period, and the value of the company on a book basis as of the end of the time period. And of course, we're going to reconcile the difference between those two by showing the activity during this time period. So that is going to be done with a statement of owner's equity. And we're going to have the same kind of phrasing we would have on the Income Statement. So of course, we're going to have for the month ended. We cannot just have the date of December 31st, 2000X1, in this case, as we would have on the balance sheet. We need for the month ended, we need that beginning time frame and that ending time frame, that beginning point in time, and that ending point in time. Note that in this case, the equity actually went down. So we have beginning equity at 54, 600, and we ended at 46, 100. So we need to basically see what happened in the interim in terms of decreasing the total equity. So let's take a look at the calculation. The calculation will be beginning equity where we started at last year's ending equity. Then we're going to have investments. So any investments from the owner will increase this calculation. If we move to corporations, of course, we're talking about the selling of stock. In essence, the calculation is going to be much the same when we look at different types of entities in terms of a sole proprietor, a partnership, we're going to have just multiple partners, but the essence of the calculation in terms of equity as a total will be the same. And the names of a corporation in terms of how does an owner invest in the company when we are a corporation and how do draws happen in terms of dividends in a corporation will be a difference in terms of names. Then we're going to have an increase in net income. So net income is going to increase the activity. That's going to be the main factor typically. And then we're going to, in this case, we had service income, which is going to be services minus the expenses, meaning we had revenue from service revenue minus the expenses, this entire amount being reflected on the income statement. So we're not actually going to show the detail here of the revenue minus expenses. That is shown on the income statement. What we will show as a reconciling item of the beginning balance to the ending balance is that net income that then can be expanded and explored more when going to an income statement. Then we're going to decrease this amount by draws, draws representing the amount that the owner has drawn out of the company taken out for personal use. In a corporation, it would be similar to dividends, dividends being the amount of money being distributed to the owners, to the shareholders for their personal use. And that would then give us our ending balance. So then we have our ending balance, and we can think of it as what is owed or contributed to the owner, meaning kind of the book value of the company. You can think of it as if we were to sell all the assets and get the cash and then pay off all the liabilities. That would then be what would be left over if we had sold all the assets for exactly what the assets value were for and paid off all the liabilities for the value that they were. That would be the ending book value. So our calculation once again is always going to be for the equity section, we're going to start off at beginning equity. It's like the income statement, but we're not starting at zero. We're starting at the ending point of where we were last time. Last time's ending equity, this time's beginning equity, and then we're going to reconcile the activity that happened in order to get us to the ending point, the ending equity, the number that then is going to be reported on the balance sheet. Therefore we're going to take beginning of equity. We're going to increase the amount that the owner put in to their business. That's going to increase the amount of equity, increase the amount that's owed back to the owner. We're going to increase it by net income, revenue minus expenses, the earnings of the company. This should be the biggest factor typically because this is what happened during a particular time period, usually a month or a year. Then we're going to subtract out any draws that happened in terms of money going out to the owner. If the money went out to the owner, then the total equity that is representing the amount due to the owner or assets minus liabilities has then decreased. That will then give us our ending equity balance. So if we look at a statement of equity, a very kind of simple statement of equity, we would start with the beginning balance in this case. Note the date. If we have for the month ended December 31st, that of course means that the month is beginning at December 1st and ending at December 31st, we're going to take the last year's ending equity. That's going to be this number. Starting with the owner capital account and taking the $5,400 and it's going to be last year's equity. Where would we get that number? You might ask. We could look at the last year or in this case we have the last year, but this is for a month. So this would be the last month in our case. It would be November. We could be reporting, of course, the statement of equity for a year's time period or a month's time period. This will be for a month's time period. So we could go back and look at November and say, hey, where did November end? And that should be our beginning point. But typically we will look at our trial balance and the trial balance oftentimes the amount reported in the capital account is the beginning capital. And it's either just the beginning capital or it will include investments. And we'll have to go to the general ledger and see if there's any activity during the time period. If there's no activity during the time period, then the amount reported on the trial balance will be basically the beginning balance, even though the trial balance typically does not report the date on the trial balance. So just keep that in mind. When you're putting these things together, you typically will be putting them together from a trial balance taking this number directly from the trial balance, even though there's no date next to it on the trial balance and adding December first to it. Then in this case, we're going to increase it by net income. So net income being a number that we are going to get from the income statement to this number here should be the bottom line last number on the income statement. And then we're going to decrease it by draws. So note here that the draws are actually much larger than net income. So although net income is increasing, the 6,500 net income minus the 15,000 draws actually results in that decrease in owner's equity. So we have a decrease in owner's equity because more was drawn out of the business than was earned in net income for this time period, meaning earnings were 6,500. The owner drew out for personal use 15,000. We might think that that would be a very big problem. And if it was the first year of operations, it could be a very big problem. But in this case, note that we had retained earnings prior to this of 54,600. So even though we pulled out a lot more 15,000 than earned 6,500, there's still a lot of value within the company, meaning we still have the 54,600 beginning balance minus the net here of 8,500, leaving us with a net balance of 46,100. So there's still value in the company here, even though more was pulled out than was earned in this current month. This 46,100 would then be what is reported on the balance sheet. Also note that this does represent this 46,100 represents the book value of the company. And that would lead us to think that the owner could at any time pull out 46,100. But note that that's not necessarily the case, typically not, because the organization does not have, the business does not have 46,100 in cash. What they do have is 46,100 of net assets, meaning we have total assets measured in dollars, including cash, but also including equipment and other things that are non-cash minus liabilities of 46,100. So note that although we have this much that we can say the owner has claimed to, the owner would not be able to take that much money out of the organization unless they had basically liquidated the organization in terms of selling the assets, receiving the cash, and then paying off the liability. So just keep in mind that this is the bottom line number, the kind of the main number on the balance sheet and on the statement of equity representing the where a company stands as of a point in time, but that does not mean that the owner can walk away with that at any given point in time, knowing that that of course is including assets minus liabilities, all assets, not just the cash assets. Objectives we are now able to describe the statement of owner's equity, list the components of the statement of owner's equity, and explain the reasons for a statement of owner's equity.
