All right everybody, my name is Fousa from Cybertrain University. Thanks everybody for coming here. We're gonna talk about You know regarding about iceberg orders. What are they? What makes these stocks go up and go down? Just really quick. I'm gonna get right into it and we're gonna have a lot. I'm gonna ask a lot of questions So please if you have any questions, you know, feel free to ask them as we're actually doing a presentation But just let you know what's going on right now in the market and show you right here We got going on here. Hopefully we can follow my little dot So there's a couple of big stocks that are making some big moves, okay? And here was one stock today that had not only a good day trading move But it also had a good swing trading move and you could see it right here. You could see this stock Let me zoom in over here would happen last couple of days. So this is what we're gonna look at Here's a stock that went from two dollars and sixty cents and in the matter of a week It ran all the way up to about eight thirty, right? Today you could see it as a day trade it went from six eighty and in matter of thirty minutes It ran to eight fifty now if you do simple math if it just went from seven dollars to eight dollars Which is half of that You made a dollar a dollar is a thousand dollars a day or a thousand shares a quarter million dollar salary Now your question is oh easy said and done Fausto. How would you know it went up? How you went down? Well, that's what we're gonna learn and here's a little basic basic little test and taste of what we're looking at So we're gonna show you a little bit of what's called iceberg orders and what are iceberg orders is what you see right here? so basically we have a heat map and You're gonna get you have orders You see these little red orange lines and you see them here on top you see in the bottom You see black lines over here on the right where it says COB that means current order book We're gonna show you how to read the future. The future is where are the orders out there? Where are the algorithms? Where are all the? Institutions placing their limit orders on the bid and on the offer that's we're gonna focus on and that's what's gonna teach You guys how to be a big trader. So we got a lot of stuff to carry. We're gonna talk about an hour I could just tell you this please stick around to the end because I'm gonna give everyone access to come in watches Do this live in the market? You know and see if it actually if we practice what we preach really works so let me just move this over and let me just get back to my PowerPoint and Kind of go into the training a little bit here. So basically before we get started just quick little risk disclaimer Just I'm not gonna make any guarantees or promises, you know with this ranges from student to student Just please be very smart and you know before you go out there and trade You know what you're investing into because there is a high risk in in trading Now this is what we're gonna learn a little bit. We're gonna talk about what makes stocks tradable What makes them non-tradable? We're gonna talk about level three quotes an ECN book We're gonna talk a little bit about reading the tape I'm a tape reader which actually shows you how to find these stocks and if they're moving or not due to their Volatility and the best progress as a full-time or even a part-time trader what you want to be so I've been doing it now before we do that. Let me just tell you a little bit about myself I've been doing this for over 30 years. I've traveled around the world This is this is a picture of me. I was just there yesterday at the Nasdaq Feature at Nasdaq talking about how to trade on something called their book viewer and how it works and how to trade on it And you're gonna see that a lot of you've been trading blind over the years I've also been featured on a lot of the financial stations all over the world And you know what? I love doing it because I hate seeing people lose money I'm also an author of the book how to beat market makers at their own game What is a market maker? That's a trader at a broker's firm How do I know that because I was one of them and I'm here to pass it to you that knowledge and what I'm gonna do at The end of this presentation. I'm going to give every one of you a copy of that book for free Yes, why would I do that? How do I make money on it because if you know how you if you're knowledgeable we're gonna all make money together and Just also tell you a little history about what traders are You know, I started back in the early 90s Forbes magazine wrote an article on us a bunch of kids tormenting Wall Street You can see I'm not a kid anymore, but um How I learned and how I became very famous in this industry is I'm first-generation Italian my parents came here for a better life and my dad always taught me and said listen son If you want to be good at something you got to surround yourself with people that know what they do every day Okay, you got to surround yourself with the people that are that are good at it and try to stop doing this on you on your own now Being a 22 year old kid I was a little ignorant. I didn't listen to my dad. I says ah, let me go out and do it myself You know what? Let me go Let me try it and see if I like it and then if I do then I'll learn from someone else well that didn't work out too well and I know that some of you probably could say the same thing you tried it and think they'll work out too well And now now now you're here listening to us it's a lot easier to have someone that knows what they're doing that has a very good reputation and You know basically it does this for a long time and will teach you not how to make money But how to stop losing it and that's we're gonna focus on now I could say I have two wonderful families of what made my Having two great families is that you know I have my day family and I have my night family and I hope to me make you part of those people people too now um Let's just now let me just stop talking about myself and What I've accomplished and what I hopefully I want to make use all you all good traders is How do we how do we trade? What is the style? What what is it what you do and how do we know what's real and not real? Well, let me do a quick little Poll right here and just if everyone could just tell me in the chat room Could you tell me like how long everyone here has been trading for? Have you been doing this for a year three years ten years just started just put in the chat You know, let me I want to hear what everyone has to say Michael would be doing for ten years. Okay, anyone else a Jeep over ten ten four brand new Josh. Okay, Jerry about a year. Okay now as As all of you are answering that question The next question is that I have for everybody is this Are you really making money? I mean and nobody could read in one's chat. Yes No, a little bit breaking even how are you doing in the market? Not doing well Rob. Okay, not really making money holding on the line right now Paul. Well, that's good Listen, you're still here.  If you if you're trading and you you know, listen great traders also never stop learning But this is what I want you to do. Does everybody have their phone? turn on the camera and What I'm gonna do right now is I want to give everyone a little head start I want to give everyone access to my trading room and which is about one week, okay? And that one week trading room everything we're gonna talk about in the next 45 minutes You're gonna see this for a whole week and I'm gonna give you videos and I'm gonna give you You know lessons and all and you can even talk to me on the phone Okay, how about that because what I'm looking for today is I'm looking to recruit traders that I could train That that want to do this as a career that can make money with now Why am I doing that is because I'm always training people I have students that open up their own schools I have people that eventually move on so we're always looking to recruit new traders So if you want to get a head start before everybody else does here's your chance to do it Just take that scanner and move it. All right, so let's talk about a couple of things really quick. All right, so Regarding about the market listen, I was sitting, you know with some of the most smartest minds yesterday at Nasdaq on on their show and You know, one of the big things when I was at last time I mentioned that we had a great fourth quarter Okay, the Nasdaq Has probably been hasn't it hasn't moved this much in Several years so, you know, just and not only that but just take a look at some of the trades that we had that were going on Affirm was one of them. Look at this stock in one day. It ran from 27 to 30 Then the next day it ran from 29 to 31 Then look at this then it runs from 31 to 33 I mean, look at the movement you probably never even heard of a firm you probably did but your question is well That's a hell of a move now. Remember what I told you you don't need a lot to make a killing on it That's all you have to do but look at that big move on just that stock alone today Game stop another one. Okay stock goes from 15 to 17 in about an hour If you only got 20% of that move, guess what you made your days pay You probably never thought about trading game stop or maybe how about this stock our DHL? This one's even better less expensive stock goes from $2 to $4 Now you're probably asking me. Well, I never heard of this stock before. I only I only trade the fabulous seven You know the Intel. I mean the the Googles the apples and then the Navias Listen at the end of the day money's money We're not here to discriminate That that that stock that I can make just as much as this I could make on someone else But everybody out there wants to trade. Oh, I want to trade. What's the video doing? Oh, what's Apple doing? Oh, what's Tesla doing? You know and I know right off the bat Everyone's gonna ask me that question we get to the end because when I start showing you how these things go up and down You like to do me favor because you look at this stock and you're gonna see that you've been trading blind your whole life And you have made yourself trade stocks that are so extremely risky that I would never trade Because it's all about risk for reward Because when you find a stock like VV OS in one day that goes from $4 to 20 You know and then it goes from 20 to 50 Does it matter? Did you even care? But this is what was just happening in the past week now the big thing people always ask is Like Thou still I watch on YouTube Which by the way, I need you guys watch me on live in the morning at 9 a.m. Eastern on Facebook or YouTube or Twitter We broadcast live every morning. We're gonna post that link if you're not you should be subscribed to it. Okay? But if you've been watching it Spinding them is easy. That's the easiest part Everybody else funny. Everyone wants this Everybody's looking for that. You know that newsletter. They want everyone to tell them what to buy first of all No one has to tell you what to buy and sell you could figure out yourself You just got to go through the big percentage gainers and losers and you'll see these stocks 100% 59% 40% You know and you could short look at all those stocks that are down on the day So there's opportunities everywhere now the question that you're probably asking is how do you know? Which one of those are going to give me the least amount of risk? With the high amount of reward We're gonna get to that in the next few minutes But just kind of tell you a lot of you are neglecting you see this on your your execution system And you probably don't think twice and say yeah, whatever.  So the big thing we have to talk about is why these big stuff, you know, why are we buying? We're selling these stocks, right? And the answer is this it's not the news. It's not about the indicators It's not a tip from a friend or some fundamental analyst. Okay, because that's why 90% of these people lose money lose it in trading. All right, it's all about following the money That's all it is Now my question to everybody here is this Does anyone here have level two quotes I had a question came in Andre a dynamite 3 p.m. I'm not able to watch due to my job Andreas don't worry about it. Whatever you miss we're live, but you could always watch the recording. Okay? all right, but um Anyone here have level two Used to but not now Robert. Okay, anyone else? How about you Dave? I'm in here from you Dave see Dennis Adam, what about you Alan? No, no No one here has it. Okay. Well, let me explain to you something very important. All right Remember this because this is where we're gonna go now because now and take this very seriously How do stocks go up and go down? Buyers and sellers That's it So let me explain to what we're looking at and then we're gonna go move on and show you how to follow those buyers and sellers So let me just get my crayons out here really quick and show you something what we're looking at So these are buyers These are sellers. Those are the columns column one and column two. Okay? everybody here in This column one are brokerage firms or an exchange Second column is the price that they want to buy it for and the third column is how many shares everything? There's multiplied by a hundred now ever wants to buy the stock for the most amount of money is up on top Whoever wants to buy for less money is down at the bottom. So what you're looking at right here is Just buyers and what they want to buy for and at what price Now to get to some of your question that some of you why you don't use it anymore if I could tell you why I don't use it anymore It's been outdated since the 90s. It's not doesn't give you as much data as it should but it does still Serve a purpose in trading. Okay, and we'll we'll talk a little bit more about that now. Let me let me just clear this out and Move on So my next question is to you is this Does anybody here have total view Nasdaq total view? I like to call it level three Anybody here have it? Robert, you don't have it Josh no anyone else Davey a dibby just got disabled One person here that has it plan on getting it. Okay. Well, let me tell you a little bit about it and Then let me show you how we use it and I'll tell you how to get it. Okay Now what we're looking here is this We got buyers and we got sellers you got support levels and you got resistance levels What you're looking at right here is a seat on the exchange What in the hell does that mean?  That's what it's all about now. Let's put it to the basically how we utilize it You're probably looking at this data you'd be like, you know thousands a lot of numbers It's kind of hard to see it. I don't I don't get what I see well I tell you what you need to see 90% of it that's in there. You don't need to see it It's a distraction. I don't care about the 100 share buyers or the 10 share sellers What I do care about is this buyer down here for 27,000 Okay, because when a stock goes up and you want to know where it's gonna stop What makes a stock stop? From going lower is a buyer. What makes a stock stop going higher are sellers So you could see right here That when this stock was up here at 37 20 and started going back down and it's decided to stop At this 35 36 50 The only reason why it stopped there is not because of Fausto said so or you said so or Kramer sound TV or some analyst or some indicator It was because out of all these buyers out here The 100 to 200 to 400 the 27 000 share buyer Which is probably about 200 times more the average of any price out there made that stock stop going lower Now i'm going to repeat this a thousand times How much better and smarter trades would you have made if you knew That there was a big block order looking to be bought at that price Okay, knowing that you were coming to a support level and knowing that that buyer was there that made that support That's what trading is all about now Let's look at another example Let's look at our potential a potential resistance level here. We have a stock But we've been trading so we've been moving pretty nice. I don't know if anyone saw robin hood Symbol hod moved up. We've been moving up pretty nicely But the question is when do we get out? When do we sell it? Well, you could see here that it had a really nice move from 880 and in a matter of I don't know 30 minutes He finally decided to hit a plateau Around this 19 20 all up 19 $9 and 20 cent price range. Now. Why is that? well What makes a stock go down? is sellers Sellers make resistance that resistance means it's resisting it from going higher Well, the only way to find those resistance levels and those sellers is if you go to the book viewer And you look at the sell column. You'll notice right down here at nine dollars and seventeen cents. You've got 37 000 share seller Now you've got six thousands two thousand five hundred, but you're talking 37 000 All right sitting there at nine dollars and seventeen cents Do you think you want to still own a stock?  How many of you are seeing that? Not very many Let's go over a couple more examples Okay, let's look at this stock right here dbgi whatever You know, but what is a trend that this stock look like to you?  It's going up it's going down.  Okay It's going down right could everybody say that daemon. I didn't hear from you I don't know what you're doing Please don't let me start calling people out. Listen. I am here to help you Okay, if you don't answer Then that means you don't understand and if you don't understand you shouldn't be trading and please don't Don't take this. I'm a little brash. I just hate seeing people lose money Okay to do is for way too long and it's very bad for the industry. All right So the stock is going down. Okay, great. Now. This is the next question. I have for everybody You have on a stock and it's going down and you're like my god, what do I do? What do you do? What do you if you want to stock everybody and have a question because this is basically going to help answer What we're going to move forward to If you were losing money in a stock stock's going down What do you do? What what is your game plan? Do you buy more average down? Do you call 9-1-1? I don't know. What do you speak to your wife? Hey, honey, I'm losing money in stock. What should I do?  She's like, what are you doing? What do you do? You buy puts. Okay Get out right away cover with a short call Jason saying Every one of you are answering the the question completely wrong Okay Your question that you have to be asking yourself Is okay. I'm losing money part of the game Where are the buyers? Okay, where are they at zero? Are they at $4? 3. Where are the buyers? what covering Jason covering with a short call Are you kidding me? I mean, but how do you know it's What happens?   All right, so Let's go look over here on as that book viewer Where's our buyer $4 71,000, do I need to explain anything more? Because look what happened when it got to that $4. It hit it, it went up, it hit it, it went up. Did you need to make a covered call? Did you need to average down mic? Did you need to put a stop order bill? It's all about the orders. And how could you've known that by following this? All right. Let's talk about another one. Let's talk about American Airlines, okay? So let's look at American Airlines. Now, without even getting to the chart of the stock, could anyone here tell me just had a curiosity where you think you're going to hit a resistance level? Where do you think you're gonna hit a resistance level if you were here looking just at the book viewer? Well, Robert, it's exactly right. Robert's saying would have been good for risk management. That's 90% of the battle is the risk management. But I wanna see if everybody can answer this question. So, Manuel, Phil, Lindsay, Robert, Jerry. I think everybody here, Andreas, everyone here is correct. You all said the same answer. You all said $1290 because there's a 600,000 share seller out there. So are you telling me what is more powerful? That's 600,000 share seller at $1290 or some Fibonacci out there? Because when we look at a chart, doesn't look like it's going now. It actually looks like it's going up. Somebody would say, oh, this is a bull flag. It's definitely going higher. Yeah. Well, it didn't work out too well when it got to that price because if you didn't know he was out there and you did get suckered in buying to it and you wanna know why, that's your answer. Because how many times have you bought a stock?  And how many times have you sold it?  Let me tell you something. Nobody's watching you. You are not watching them. That is your problem, okay? So think about it.  And yes, by the way, Mike, yes, that is a real order, okay? And NASDAQ will never let you put an order out there, that's fake, okay? You're more than welcome. You're more than welcome, okay? And I knew someone was gonna bring that up. Robert goes, does this work for the QQQs and the spies? First of all, yes it does. And secondly, why are you trading the spies?  Is the S&P 500 up 54% today? Or you have to trade the QQQs because the QQQs, you know what I mean? Like you can make money with them, sure, but it's all about risk to reward. Remember, do you understand what the definition of business is? This is business. The definition of business is making money, okay?  I'd rather work for somebody an hour a day and get paid $1,000 an hour. But because that $10 average, well, you understand, you know, that's a good company, okay? Well, great, that's nice. I still rather work for an hour and make $1,000 if you know what I mean. So that's all a misconception. Now, these are what we call iceberg orders. These are big block orders. I came up with that word after watching Move Titanic. I mean, I assume everybody knows a story about the Titanic, it's a terrible story, but everybody's always focused on the top. They never focused on the bottom because they don't have the technology. They didn't go out there and would talk this. And you know what? You wanna end up like the Titanic. Now, this is a tip for new traders, all right? If you wanna be very successful, you gotta follow the money, okay? And NASDAQ Book Viewer is one of them. Now, who here would like to get NASDAQ Book Viewer? Because when I started, it cost me $1,000 a month. Today, it cost $15. So I wanna put my email address here, hold on. So I'm gonna put it in the chat room, Fausto P, hold on, F-A-U-S-2-0. So I want you guys to send me an email. If you're interested in this, okay, I'll tell you where to get it. Because the thing is, I don't wanna give you the link. I'd rather you watch a couple of videos how to set it up first, because you'll probably make more harm than good, okay? That's the reason why we do that. So for everybody here, just take my email. And personally, why would you not want this? Why would you not want to know a stock that you're in knowing where all the big players are?  You should quit trading. You really should. Because I had to learn the hard way at 22 years old, and I know we don't have too many 22 year olds sitting here, or 15 or 18 year olds. I think a lot of people have been doing this for a while, and that's, I think he's starting to realize, you know what, it kind of makes sense. Maybe I shouldn't know how to read the future, okay?  Maybe I shouldn't know who's pushing it up. This is where it comes down to it. So I would expect every single one of you in here to take my email address and email me right now and says, and all you have to say is, book viewer, just say, just send me the link. That's all I ask, all right? Now, let's go to, now, let me tell you, if you think this is pretty interesting, wait till I show you level four. Because there are three different levels. One, two, three, four. So we were just finishing up on level three. There is such thing of a level four. Now you're like, wait a minute. Damn, is something better than that? Yes, there is. It does cost more money, but am I here to sell anything for you? Okay, but I want you to know there is something there. And what it is, it's a heat map, okay? Basically what you're getting is everything on the right, which is called current order book. That's the level three. But when you look at level four, you're kind of seeing it more on a chart size. So this is a software that basically would tell you where those orders are and how long they've been out there for. So kind of it's easy on the eyes, you know? And because I know some of you here, the first thing would probably discourage you to get into this business is that you probably said, oh, it moves too fast. And I get it, you know, yeah, it does move pretty fast. But when you start moving on a chart, you're like, oh, it doesn't move as fast. So you got to know where the data is coming from and you got to know who's putting that data out there. So let me explain to how we use it, okay? Let's go back to Affirm, all right? So Affirm is going down, you know, we're looking at a drop and it's slightly going down. Now, what do we need for the stock to make it go up? Buyers. And you'll notice that after about 10 o'clock, you had a buyer over here and you had this buyer here for 50,000 shares that showed up at $29.30. So, I mean, he wasn't there earlier, but he's there now. And you could see it, when he showed up, the stock skyrocketed. And it ran from 29.20 and a matter of an hour, it went all the way to 31.20.  I got my limit order out there and when I just hit, when I just got there and buy it. So that's what happened there. Let's go back to GameStop. GameStop's going up. You see, you got a trend over here. You had the seller sitting out there at 17.50, hold on a minute, point out here so you guys can follow along. You can see how that thing is right there, that seller shows up here, stock goes up nicely. Now we're coming up to this 34,000 share seller, right? So it ends up happening. You look at the chart, doesn't show you that buyer. But look what happened when it came up to that buyer. It went from that 17.50 all the way down in less than 30 minutes down to 16.40.  Not seeing that on the chart.  All right, so what I wanna do right now is, do we have any more, hold on. Okay, yeah, okay. So what I wanna do right now is I wanna have a little fun with everyone, okay?  Because this is what we're gonna invite all of you to see this live in the market, all right? So somebody give me a stock, any stock. And we're gonna go out there. I'm gonna show you how these things work, okay? And I'll show you why you've been doing it backwards the whole time. Hold on, there's one stock right here I wanna keep an eye on, hold on. What is this one right here? Okay, obviously ExxonMobil, obviously Intel, obviously Apple, obviously Rethion. Everyone out there is putting brand name stocks, okay? And I'm gonna show you what it looks like to be in a brand name stock, all right? So let me bring up a couple of things right here. Here, all right, so we got, we'll look at Apple. Okay, come up to Apple over here. All right, so what is Apple doing today? Anybody tell me? What's Apple doing? It gone up, okay, Robert, it went up and it kinda stopped after around like 940 at this like $195 price range, all right? Okay, why did it stop at $195? Why did it stop at $195? Why, it's, what is it? Almost one o'clock right now? Since nine, what is that? 945 until now, is that 1045, 1140, three hours, three hours. It does not wanna go past $195. Can anybody tell me what, how about this? I'll make it a little bit easier for you. How about we add in a RSI? How about a Bolager Band? How about a MACD, okay? All right, did that answer your question for you? Anyone, does that answer your question? Okay, what is everyone telling me? Sellers, sellers, sellers, okay. You wanna see how this works? Right here, when the market opened up, when this stock started this morning and it was at $193, this is called program trading. This seller of how many shares is out there at $195? Can anyone answer it? Let's see if you guys can answer this question. Andreas, you're right. Robert, you're right. Paul, you're right. First of all, $475,000 shares, okay? Times $195 is $92 million is looking to be sold at $195. All right, $92 million. And you wanna know why this stock is not going past $195? And guess what? If you didn't get out here when it got close to it, it went right back down to $194. Then it went back to $195. You could have went long, short, long, short, long, short. Stock right now is at $194. $194.30, $194.90. Should we go buy it? What do you think? Should we buy it? I heard Apple's a good stock. What do you think? We should buy it? Yes or no? Look how quick you guys answered that question. Why? The half a million shares scare you? It damn well it should. Not today, I'm trying to say. So did I arrest my case? Did I arrest my case because did that bulge or ban tell you that? Did that MACD tell you that? Now, that's what trading comes down to it. All right? So this is the difference between people being self-taught and people without learning from true market makers, okay? Now, if anyone here wants to learn how to trade, this is the way you're supposed to be taught. You're supposed to know how to read these orders and you gotta have the right tools. And if you're not gonna do it right, you shouldn't be trading. You shouldn't be trading. Forget about that person sending you that newsletter and telling, hey, look at this one, look at that one. That's great. I like newsletters. I like to say, okay, maybe you guys onto something. Maybe he found something, but I'm not gonna jump in until I see what the street's doing because if he knows about it, everyone else knows about it. And that's the difference between self-taught and learning from the right people. And this is why Cybertrade University has been endorsed and has been featured on more brokerage firms and exchanges at any school in the industry. And not only that, this is why we have a five-star rating on Google and we have probably the best reputation in the industry. So this is what I'm looking to do. I'm looking for me to teach you this stuff live in the market. So how many of you here wanna see more of this? Great, because you're all gonna get access to it. I wanna invite all of you guys to come into my trading room, all of you, okay? And you don't gotta be there all day. You could be there in the morning, you could be there in the afternoon, you could be there in the middle of the day, you could watch and record, you could be there wherever it is. Do you need there to be there for a week? Absolutely not. You realistically only need to be there for, I don't know, an hour, whatever it is. I'd preferably pick the first hour and the last hour, okay? Manuel says, can you do this by spotting Forex and currency futures? Yes, you can, Manuel. Absolutely, you could, absolutely. Probably didn't know that, did you? All right, so, but I specifically trade stocks, all right. Now, this is what you're gonna get. We start our live audio broadcasting at 9 a.m., we go up until 10.30, we work about an hour and a half, we still trade them all the day, we come back in the afternoon, we continue with the live commentary in the trading room. So this is all online, you don't gotta go anywhere, you can also access it on your phone, okay? You can watch it on your phone if you can't make it, but everybody here will have full access to all this commentary, all this technology, all this training. We also do events with special speakers, all the gurus, we are constantly doing events in our trading room to help you become a better, smarter and wiser trader. Now, I started the first trading room in the industry. Okay, everybody tells you, I've done this over 30 years. When I started, you had to be licensed, okay? You don't have to be licensed anymore. Now everybody thinks they're a guru out there, but for being around for 30 years, I think that kind of says it itself. Now, let's take some questions, but before we do that, here's some of the questions that I get that I wanna share with you. Does this strategy work with volatile markets? This is all about volatile markets. If you have no volatility in the market, you can't make any money. Things they move in, you're not making money. How much money do we need to start, okay? You need to start with zero. We're not looking you to trade anything. You are only here to watch, okay? Now, I know some of you have accounts already, and you know what? You probably wanna know sooner than later, but you don't need anything to start, okay? How does this strategy work for options? Well, I know a lot of you here trade options. First of all, how could you be a good options trader if you can't even know what the stock is doing? You know what these strategies are to trade an option?  How about this? How about make money with the stock first and then worry about the option? The reason why people trade options is because they think they can't afford the stock. That's the reason why they do that, and they like the shortcut thing. So this is what you have to do. Get your phone, scan that QR code, or click on that link that we got posted up there right now. And I wanna give everyone access to my book. I wanna give you access to my trading room. I wanna give you access to my workshops because I wanna prove to all of you that you all need to learn how to do this the right way. And then this will tell you if you should wanna continue your career with trading or you wanna go back and work at McDonald's, okay? Or go back to whatever you did for a living, you know? You're accounting, whatever it may be. I'm kidding about the McDonald's thing. But this is everything that you're gonna get. The training costs $9. That's it. Now, why am I charging $9? I don't need your $9. The $9 just proves to me that you're a real person or not. That's really what it comes down to. And if you want your $9 back at the end of the week, I'll give it back to you. I don't need your $9. And we're not gonna charge you anything past that. Listen, you don't wanna continue with Cybertrain University. You don't have to continue. By the way, remember Apple? Look at the price of Apple where it is right now. 194.77. Remember we got close to that high right there? Remember that resistance levels? Look what happened here. Still out there. And when they hit them, it came right back down. These are the things you have to understand. And this is on a brand name stock. Imagine doing it on a nice slow moving stock. So we're gonna show you these workshops. We're gonna give you Traders Talk Library. And not only that, I'm gonna give one more last bonus. One big bonus.  But if you register today, I will take 20 of you and give you a personal coaching class with me. Now, this is the kicker. How many of you guys have taken training before? Have you ever spoken to the owner before when I've been spending a dollar?  I talk back to you, okay? Our instructors talk back to you. Our staff talks back to you. So here's your opportunity. Money back guaranteed.  You're gonna get workshops. You're gonna get a trading room, everything for one whole week. All you gotta do is start off with $9. And I'll even give you, like I said, it's gonna show you how to use BookViewer, it's gonna show you how to use NASDAQ, everything. Now, a couple of questions here. I will be available in January as my wife and I end to go surgery next week. Well, hopefully everything works out well for you, Andre. I hate to hear that, but what I would recommend you to do is buy it now and just tell your education advisor via email or call them and tell me you wanna start in January, because I don't know how long I'm gonna keep this promotion for, you know, it's been a really big, you know, popular promotion. And you know what, we can't talk to everyone, but lock it in now and move it later.  Jerry, I got your registration. Welcome aboard, Josh. I got your regarding about the BookViewer. Welcome aboard, Jerry, Parker, another one out there. I got your registration, Pantar got your registration, Paul, all of you got your registration. Now, listen, it's very important. When you register, we ask five questions, let us know who you're trading with, if you've taken any classes, you know who your broker is, the more you help us and tell us about you, the better we could help you.  If you're not sure yet what time or whatever, just book anything, you know, you can always change it later, okay? But just lock in your time, whatever it is, and try to do it sooner than later, all right? So you'll get that up and running. Any other questions? I think I answered that question before. Do I need money to trade this? No, you know what you need? You need $9, that's what you need, okay? Listen to me, look at Apple.  Do you know what it's like to see that in Tesla? Do you know what it will look like to see that on NVIDIA? Or how about one of these big fast-moving stocks that keep running up, that you haven't even knew existed? Go out there, make a small investment, see why Cybertree University has the best reputation in the industry and why we've been doing this so long. Because I know a lot of you here wanna do it, you just didn't find the right person or you just don't know yet. So instead of making a big investment in trading and in taking someone with someone else, and by the way, if you took with someone else, that's fine. I preferably like that you took class with someone else because then you'll see the difference between why their system doesn't work and this one does. Question, you haven't read, Adam Allen, you haven't received the book, okay? So Allen, email me and I'll get you my book if you haven't got it, but it's on your dashboard. When you register, the book is already there for you for download, okay? David C, can we pick a, and thank you very much, I'm glad you've been enjoying everything in the week program. David's question, can we pick the week of the trial? Yes, you can, you can pick the week when you want. But listen, it's fresh in your mind, don't waste any time, because I know what ends up happening when we becomes two weeks, two weeks become next month. You know what I mean? Any other questions? So anyway, listen, I'm expecting every single one of you to register. I don't know why you would not register and I could tell you this, if you think $9 is expensive, try ignorance, okay? Look how much you didn't know before you stepped in this door. Look how much money you've learned that and there's so much more to cover. But I can't talk to you for a whole hour. We're gonna lose your attention to I get bored talking that long anyway. I can't talk that long, but I am looking for traders I could train that could do this for a living. All you gotta do is take that QR code, scan it and get into the room. A couple of questions here. Jerry says, is Matrix and Trace Station the same? It is Jerry and we actually showcase it in our trading room. And I'll show you really quick right here. So you're talking about this one right here. So this is our trading room right now and the Matrix is right here on the right. These are all instructors right here and these are all our traders on the left. And you can see, you know, we have our watch list, but yes, that Matrix is right down the right. Okay? And another question comes here. Alan, what is the minimum a person needs to screen equipment? Okay, so Alan, you don't really, listen, if you got into this, whatever you have is perfectly fine. Okay? So you don't need to have all this fancy stuff. You don't need four, six, 10 monitors.  Okay? You don't need this crazy gaming stuff. Anything else? All right, a couple of more shout outs really quick over here. Abadip, is that what you name from California? Hope I said that, hope I didn't mangle it because people mangled up my name. I got your registration, welcome aboard. Dennis Davis from Arizona, got your registration, welcome aboard. Robert H from Arizona, got your registration, welcome aboard. Winston Lewis, got your registration. Thank you so much. Who's this right here? Andreas G, that's you, Andreas. Where are you from, Andreas? If I try to see, I don't recognize the country, real little symbol. Where are you from, Dutch, something like that? Germany, okay. There you go. All right, good. Thank you very much. A couple of other questions. Anyone have any other questions? Guys, it's $9, okay? How much money were you saved just by trading Apple if you knew that there was a big order out there? How would you have known of understanding the discipline, the psychology behind it? Stop focusing on the past. Let's stop focusing on the future. Let's start focusing on the tools that we need, all right? Once again, you're not dishing out $1,000, $10,000, $50,000.  Let's go out there and learn the basics, all right? All right, so anyone? Yes, the question that came across here, I missed it. You could just book your appointment. If you want to change it at a different time, you're more than happy to. If you want to start your time day different. But like I said, a lot of you have a fresh in your mind. Try to do it now. That's where it comes down to it. All right, any other questions? All right, so listen, I see some of you are still registering in here. Well, I appreciate it. Make sure you get your appointments. Listen, if you did not register, I understand, maybe it's not the right time. Maybe you don't like the way I talk. Maybe you don't like the way I look. I don't know, whatever it may be, I get it. But let me just tell everyone here, if you want to do this as a career, if you want to learn it, and it's not a full-time job, it's part-time job. You got to learn, not from one, but from several different people. And you got to find the style that fits in you. And just because you took a class with someone, doesn't mean you got to make it work, okay? Listen, we do bad deals all the time. There are times I bought something, I'm like, damn, I wish I never did it. But you know what, I learned from it. Don't make the same mistake. You're here, you saw how it works. You're seeing the value that you're going to get. You're getting all these wonderful things that we're giving you. Not only that, but you're getting the book, and not only that, but you're going to get a coaching class with me. So go out there, make that small investment, and let's see if we can make you a trader or not. Because like I always say, you got to learn before you can earn. Welcome everyone, thank you so much, appreciate it. And look forward to seeing you all in the trading room, everyone else, have a happy holidays.

Hello, and welcome to this screencast. In this video, we will calculate the sum of an infinite geometric series. The series we will consider is the infinite geometric series, the sum from n equals 1 to infinity of negative 3 to the nth power, divided by 4 to the n plus first power. This is a series because we are adding the terms of a sequence where the general term is negative 3 to the n, divided by 4 to the n plus 1. And we call this series geometric because, as we will see, consecutive terms have a common ratio. And it's an infinite series because we are adding up infinitely many terms. So let's start with some information to help us calculate our sum. If an infinite geometric series has a first term a, a common ratio r, and the absolute value of r is less than 1, then the sum of that series is a divided by 1 minus r. And you can check your textbook for the derivation of this formula. So our job is to find values for the variables a and r, and then we want to see if we can use this formula to calculate the sum. So let's start by writing out the first few terms of our series. When n is equal to 1, the numerator of our first term is negative 3 to the first power, and the denominator is 4 squared. When n is equal to 2, the numerator is negative 3 squared, and the denominator is 4 cubed. Our following terms that we're adding are negative 3 cubed divided by 4 to the fourth, and negative 3 to the fourth, divided by 4 to the fifth, and this pattern is going to continue on. So we're going to rewrite these terms, and that's going to help us find values for the variables a and r. So our first term, we're simply going to rewrite this as negative 3 divided by 16, and then we can start by writing the next term as negative 316, but then we're going to multiply it by negative 3 fourths. So altogether there are two factors of negative 3 in that numerator and three factors of 4 in the denominator, so that is equivalent to what we have written above. Our next term can be written as negative 316, but instead of writing negative 3 fourths, we're going to multiply by negative 3 fourths squared. And our following term is negative 316 times negative 3 fourths cubed, and this pattern is also going to continue in our terms. Since a represents the first term of our series, then that's going to be very easy to identify as simply negative 3 sixteenths. The variable r represents the common ratio of the series, and we note that when we list the terms that we're adding up, we can see that each new term is equal to the previous term multiplied by one more factor of negative 3 fourths. So we saw negative 3 fourths, negative 3 fourths squared, negative 3 fourths cubed, each time we have one more factor of that negative 3 fourths. And so that factor is the common ratio of our series. And since the absolute value of negative 3 fourths is strictly less than one, that satisfies the hypothesis of our information above, and so we can use that formula. So we have the sum of the series is equal to a divided by one minus r, and we can substitute our values for a and r. So the numerator becomes negative 3 sixteenths. And in our denominator, we have one minus r, which is one minus negative 3 fourths. We want to keep track of that negative. So in our next step, we're just going to simplify that denominator. So one minus negative 3 fourths is equal to positive 7 fourths. And now we have a fraction divided by a fraction. So we know that dividing by a fraction can be rewritten as multiplying by the reciprocator reciprocal of the fraction in the denominator. So now we have negative 3 sixteenths times four sevenths. We can cancel a factor of four from both the numerator and the denominator. And then our last job is just multiply this out and we get negative 3 divided by 28. So even though we're adding up infinitely many terms in our series, the result of that sum is a finite number negative 3 twenty eighths. And that's our final result. Thanks for watching.


2023 might have been the best year of video gaming I've ever experienced. It was like 1993 of basketball or 2018 of ninja, you know, can only get worse. But here we are in 2024. And you know, the start of a new year is always really slow in gaming as developers rush out their hot new release by Christmas time, regardless of the fact that it's actually finished or not. But I digress. Here's a bunch of games I've been playing that I really like, although there's a couple that I really don't. Hey, what? Hey, get out of here, you two. We're this close to hitting 2 million subs, and you guys are only going to help. Go on, get! Rebrushed, rehydrated, remodeled, reboot. So many classics. Persona went with Reloaded because, uh... Oh, I love the Persona series. And by that, I mean, I've never played a Shin Megami Tensai game, or even the first two Personas. But man, this is my favorite series. Persona 3 was the first in the bunch to add in the slice of life elements, where you're just a normal teenage kid living day to day life in Japan.  I mean, you're essentially Batman without the mask, except in Persona 5 where you have the mask. The original Persona 3 first launched on PlayStation 2 back in 2006, later receiving an enhanced version in 2007 called Persona 3 Fez. Then they decided to slap this sucker on a PlayStation portable, but it removed a lot of the changes from Fez and added different stuff. The issue with all of these versions is that there was never one, this is the Persona 3 experience to play. Until, not even now, because this also is not complete. It is a full remake of the original core game. And it doesn't have any of the additional stuff that came later. I mean, blow my brains out. Having said all of that though, I still think that this Persona 3 Reloaded is the best version of the game to play, for the visual upgrade alone. I hope later on they release an upgraded Fez version of this game. So then it can finally be completed, and I can look back annoyed that I just spent 60 hours playing a worse version of the game. It's tradition. Oh hey, it's me in different clothes, because guess what? I've been taking so long to make this video, Persona 3 DLC just got announced. Yay, I was right. I don't know man, the developers said they weren't gonna do any extra content. I guess, thanks for lying. No really, thank you. I'm glad you lied. I want this. It's the missing PlayStation 2 epilogue content. We still don't have any of the PlayStation portable content, but we're one step closer. Oh, I spit a big shark! Oh! Surf shark. And they said I was bad at transition. Surf shark is a VPN. That's a virtual private network, if you didn't know, and why, what don't you want? Your own private network.  How swanky is that? I mean, the only issue is this probably costs a fortune. What's that? All of this costs about the same as a cup of coffee? And I get to keep the pillows?  If anyone tries to hack in and snoop on you, it'll be like, oh, blurred out for them. They won't be able to see your credit card details. But other than keeping you safe online, there's some other fun things you can do with a VPN, like, I don't know, travel the globe? From the comfort of your own home, you can go to France, Australia, Japan, and while you're there, why don't you try logging in to Netflix, refresh the page, and watch all the region exclusive content pop up? Whoa, all of a sudden you have access to the entire Netflix library? That actually makes the $40 a month, or whatever they just hiked it up to recently, a little bit more worth it. There's no risk in trying it, because they have a 30-day money-back guarantee, and you can download Surfshark on all your devices. It's all the same account. You don't got to pay any extra. So if you want to surf the web privately, why don't you click that link down below? Use code beat-em-ups and get an extra three months free. That's right, baby. Three months free. You play as Makoto Yuki, or if you're a wacko, you can change the name to something else, which if you do that, I trust you just about as much as I trust someone that changes the link's name. What game are you playing?  He doesn't seem to care at all. I guess it doesn't even faze him. Where'd he transfer from, Detroit? Things only get weirder, though, as this small child makes you sign a contract and then disappears into the night. High schoolers come out of nowhere with handguns, and you're not supposed to question that yet, and then everything in your room just so happens to match the color of your hair. Turns out at the stroke of midnight, it turns into Twilight Zone, where all the people inhabiting the city just turn into coffins, except for a few people who have a special ability that allows them to not do that, and they can even summon their personas to fight the evil. How do they summon their personas, you might be asking? And the kids in the other persona games thought they had it tough. It's the mysteries upon mysteries that unravel as you play through the story that make the game that much more intriguing. Other than absolutely banging along with the awesome soundtracks, I mean, this is just my dormitory. I just walk through here to go to bed. The sacks does not have to code this hard.   Hanging out with friends will grow your relationships and open up more story with them individually.  Here, you'll enter classic JRPG-style term-based battles. There is a rich and complex battle system here with strengths and weaknesses, party members switching on the fly, or all-out attacks.  If Pokemon were sexy. These games are easily my favorite JRPGs, and by the time I finish one, I always feel just so sad and defeated, like I'm losing all these friendships that I've made. Over the last 150 hours of gameplay, I mean, geez, these games could be a little shorter, so I don't feel such existential dread when I finish one. Speaking of dread, I bought, played, and I'm hopefully going to return Skull of Bones. I mean, I just cyberpunk from time to time with its 11-year development cycle, but at least I finished that game. Skull and Bones also had a whopping 11-year development time. It looks worse than a game that came out almost two decades ago. That's impressive for all the wrong reasons. They set out to try and recreate elements from Assassin's Creed 4. I loved Assassin's Creed back in the day. I started with Assassin's Creed 2, which is why Ezio will always be my boy. I loved almost all the Assassin's Creed games up until Unity. That's just when my heart shattered into a thousand buggy little pieces. People often remember the fourth Assassin's Creed for the pirating ship mechanics that it included, but did you know that they actually had those in Assassin's Creed 3?  I mean, that part was a cutscene that after it played allowed you to take over on the enemy ship, but that was still really cool, you know, for the time. Growing up, Pirates of the Caribbean was also just one of my favorite movies and I used to be obsessed with pirate games. I used to play this one called Sea Dogs.  They even made a sequel, which in development ended up getting bought out and it became a Pirates of the Caribbean game instead. So it was literally Sea Dogs 2. One of my favorite games got a sequel and it was my favorite movie, 13 Year Old Me, losing his mind. So now you know that at that time, I was a big fan of Assassin's Creed and Pirates and Pirate Games in general. You could imagine how I felt when ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba. That's Game of Thrones. Part of the Assassin's Creed series, so it actually had a budget. Pirate games were kind of niche back then and no one really had the money to make it good, but this was back when Ubisoft actually tried. You took the helm of the Jack Door, armed with all types of different cannon ammo, like chain shots or mortars. You could have Grazier ships to have more cannons or even add the ability to ram into other ships. There was so much strategy in how to maneuver around the battles and the ships felt weighted and real. You could walk around your ship whenever you wanted, explore shipwrecks and islands freely. You could swim. We'll get back to that. Bored enemy ships in real time. You just grabbed a rope and your jack sparrowed on board and started just stabbing. It was so cool. I guess Ubisoft saw the value in this and decided to spend the next 11 years fleshing that out and making it its own game. And now we have Skull and Bones. And you can't do anything that you could do in Black Flag. Ship battles are boiled down to holding the left trigger and then rapid firing with the right trigger. Kind of just feels like playing Call of Duty with boats. The ships now maneuver like cars and GTA. It's like they have no resistance to the waves or the ocean at all. You can't swim in a pirate game. If you want to get off the ship and explore land or a shipwreck, it cuts to an awkward and clunky black screen as you load into the land. Boarding an enemy ship isn't even possible. You can activate a boarding process where it has a little cutscene and then just brings up some text that says boarding successful. You see some cool loot in the ocean you want to grab? Sail on by, press a button, and then it will pop up text that says what you got. The visuals in Skull and Bones are worse than the 15 year old Assassin's Creed Black Flag. One of my favorite things about Sea of Thieves is the water. I swear, sometimes when I'm really stressed out, I just load up Sea of Thieves on my TV. I sit on the beach and just listen to the waves crash on the ocean. And suddenly all my feelings of wanting to summon my persona just melt away. Then they come flooding on right back as my gameplay is interrupted by a Ubisoft pop-up that says, don't forget, this game isn't even complete. And I mean, hey, Ubisoft, some nice cosplay there. Who's the real pirate? This one really stings as somebody who's a big fan of pirates and pirate games. But you know what makes it even worse? You remember the sea dogs and Pirates of the Caribbean game I gushed about earlier that I loved as a kid? Yeah, those were published by Ubisoft as well. I don't know what happened to Ubisoft or when they stopped trying, but I think it's safe to say the best years of this developer might be behind us. Oh, I'm a kid now. I'm a squid now. Splatoon 3 Side Order DLC. I did hear that this Side Order DLC was like Hades meets Splatoon. Even before that, I was a little intrigued by this because of the art style alone. In a game series that's known for its bright, vibrant colors, they completely stripped all of that paint out. See what I did there? Like paint, paint strip? Never mind. That was funny.  And that mixed with the promise of roguelike elements. Oh boy, I'm hooked. You get it? Like fish, like you hooked. This idea of adding a roguelike as DLC into an existing game worked so well for God of War. Hey, that sounded sarcastic. No, it actually did work really well. I've been playing that too.  You ride in an elevator and you're given a blank color palette. Before each floor, you get to pick what type of room you go to next. And depending on what you pick, you'll get a different color chip to add into your palette. Are you following me? These chips upgrade you in many different ways from adding to your damage or giving you piercing rounds, lock on shots, making your ink last longer, but you can't just go picking chips willy-nilly because often the better the chip, the harder the room.  And then you have the typical flair of a boss flight every 10 floors, currency you can only spend on the run and you'll lose it at the end of the run, permanent currency that you get to keep and then you get to upgrade yourself after the run.  Now, two things. One, I really love what they did here by creating these Zelda shrine style challenge rooms for every floor. There's so many different kinds and variations and it took way more effort and game design to build all of these than just rooms of enemies to splat. Two, I wish there was rooms of enemies to splat.   But the challenge rooms are what separate this from your typical rogue-like and it's very splatoon-y in of them to do, so I'm okay with it. More credit to the game design here. Some of these rooms ain't easy. Don't even get me started on the rigorous rooms. I don't even know what level of difficulty this is supposed to be, but I don't think I've ever survived one. At the end of a run, all your currency, chips, and floors are added up and converted into the permanent currency and then you can upgrade yourself by getting extra lives, damage output, discounts at vending machines. Look, you've played Hades. Also, you get keys for defeating bosses, and those keys can be used at a giant set of lockers, and as you open a locker, you might get a new color palette. That color palette will have a different weapon, a different sub-weapon, and then a different ultimate than any other color palette. And since you can only get three keys for each palette, it really encourages you to try different weapons for runs, and that helps keep it fresh. The only thing I don't like about that is there are certain weapons I just do not ever want to use that are, in my opinion, completely useless. If it's not a gun, I don't want it, especially the bucket. The bucket can go f**k itself.  I don't know, I'm a sucker for roguelikes, and this was very good. Also, the God of War Valhalla DLC is free and incredible and features a whole original story with cutscenes. The amount of weapon variation and customization that you can do, I was addicted to that for like a solid week. Speaking of God of War, actually, that's a good transition because they made a God of War VR game. I bet you didn't know it because I'm lying. I don't often get to talk about VR games because VR games are often not worth talking about. But just like Haley's Comet every once in a while, there's one that comes around and it's worth looking at Asgard's Wrath 2 is that game for me right now.  Its setting is Norse mythology, and you will immediately meet all of the A-Star Norse God characters that you just met in Ragnarok at the very start of this game. And I know God of War didn't invent Norse mythology, but hold your knickers, there's more. For starters, you wield an axe that you can throw and then recall at will, and you can also leave it spinning in place.  There's even platforming in the way of predetermined ledges that you can hop up on. And then once you're up there, if you have solved the puzzle, you can drop a rope or a chain or a ladder that you can reclimb up later. I mean, it's the exact level layout from a God of War game. Epic set piece battles. You have you flying through the air. It's like an epic Dragon Ball Z fight. Okay, I know that none of this is actually infringing on God of War's copyrights, but the inspiration is clearly there. And while I'm playing this game, I feel like I'm Kratos, playing this weird spin-off God of War adventure in VR. And I'm pretty sure that's what it was supposed to feel like. The combat feels great with blocks and parries, timing your swings just right, weak spots to go after, or you could just spam your axe like crazy. But where this game really shines for me are these big puzzle rooms where you can take your godly form above move things around with your hands and then go back into the body of not Kratos and platform and explore the world differently, depending on how you move it around with your big boy hands. Which in between the two forms to solve these puzzles feels really organic and it's pretty cool. God, I know it looks so bad. There's something weird about VR where you just kind of have to be there when you're just looking at the gameplay recorded on a monitor. There's something about it that suddenly the coolest looking game just looks like Bubsy's 3D when you're watching it on your iPhone on the toilet. You just kind of have to believe me. If you own a Quest 3, this game is free. If you're one of the seven people watching this video that actually owns one of these, you're welcome. Wait, wait. Hi. Hey, how are you? Sorry, me in different clothes again. You can probably see where this is going. So my editor, Zach, had already completely finished editing this video. It's done. It's ready to go up. Oh boy, howdy.  And I want to talk about it. I love this game. I wasn't even going to play it. I was not excited for it to release, and it might be my favorite thing.  All of my friends in school would always be talking about cloud this, cloud that, something about bust, a big bust. I don't know. I didn't care, man. You know why? Because of this guy, Z-Dane. He was my man.  This guy's got two of them and a tail like goat. Tail like Goku. Also, Erytha who? At least my girl and I can watch the credits together. So when the remake came around, no, I wasn't part of the crowd of screaming fans. But I did play it. I mean, they'd been working on it for years, and I wanted to see what they'd done with it. And oh boy, it was incredible. It's probably the best remake of a game to date. And without giving too much away, I adore what they did with the story. We all thought this was going to be a series of fleshed out remakes based on the original. Kind of like how they took that really great skinny Hobbit book and then stretched it out into three average big giant movies. Yeah, like that. But the Final Fantasy 7 remake was anything but just okay. They crammed so much extra content and story into the game to flesh out this world like never before. But on top of that though, throughout the game, they kept tweaking things, changing elements to the story and changing the fate of what actually happened to the characters. And the characters themselves started to become very aware that a story was being told about them and that their fates were predetermined. But they didn't want their stories to be told for them. They wanted to decide their own fate. By the time you get to the end, the Final Fantasy 7 remake, the whole remake part of it has just gone out of the window. Now it's a whole new thing. And oh boy, did you say whole new thing? This can't even be considered a remake anymore, which is made clear by the title of these two games, which is exactly what the characters were fighting for in the last game. They didn't want this to be a remake anymore. They wanted it to be a rebirth. All right, I've got to take this sweater off. I am like getting drenched in sweat. Rebirth starts with a short prologue of storytelling, similar to the first game, focusing on cloud and Sephiroth relationship and where it all went wrong. But then just a couple hours in, they throw you into the open world and just give you everything. I spent easily 10 hours just in the open world doing side quests, meeting characters, battling creatures, collecting material, scanning crystals, rounding up moogles, which by the way, what happened here? This is giving serious original Sonic movie vibes. In every new area, I put off moving on and doing any story beats until I finished every single little thing I can find around the world and I'm having so much fun doing that. And the best part of it is when I do decide to move on, the story is also awesome. Games like this only come around once every so often and I'm not even that big of a fan of Final Fantasy VII. If they did this to Final Fantasy IX, I'd be, I'd be buster, I'd be, I'd bust my big bust, my load sword. I'm not even sure what my favorite part of the game is, but the combat is refined to perfection. Cloud has his big sword and he can switch between two different styles, kind of a heavy and a light. Heifer is hand-to-hand combat and you can charge her up and unlock more attacks the more you charge up. Aerith is a mage and she uses wards and other spells and things of that nature. Barrett's got a big gun. This thing's a rat dog. They all have a laundry list of unique abilities they can use. You can stuff material into their clothes, weapons, swords, whatever and give them more abilities like elemental attacks. Each one has their own limit break, special attacks they can use. You can use special summons like you can literally summon gods to help you, although I don't know why you would when you can summon this cute chocobolan mucal combination. There's also tag team moves that you can do that usually are devastating attacks, but then will also give you bonuses into the battle. It's also complex, but then you can pause the gameplay and then activate that strategy side and pick what spells or abilities are best for that situation and it perfectly blends that old-school style of Final Fantasy VII but a new style that keeps my 2024 Gamer Brain actually invested in what's happening. It's so good. There's also so many nice little details inside jokes, animations that flesh out this game like whether you raise the sign by hand or when you're sat on the back of a chocobo it's a different animation.  They don't have to animate that. When you go to play Queen's Blood there's a neat little sword holder for Cloud to put his sword in which seems very specific just for Cloud like they knew he was coming along specifically and Queen's Blood alone I thought that would be just a fun mini game. I didn't expect that to dive into a deeper arcing storyline. Everything feels fleshed out even each of the individual side quests. The characters involved with them typically have motivation or some reason why you're doing the thing for them. The side quests are usually varied with what you're actually doing and then it leads to actually having merit in the world. And all of this happens in the game's engine too so the cutscenes end up bleeding straight back into the gameplay and it makes the whole thing feel so polished. All of the little details I keep stumbling upon flaw me every time. Like when I found out not only could you play the piano but they coded a whole piano hero game into it. Huh? The dialogue is so charming and endearing and just fun. It makes all the characters so likable and relatable.  Often it feels silly but always in a lighthearted way and it's just really upbeat and positive to play. This game is honestly on another level and I have nothing but good things to say. I have no complaints. Great game. Uh go go go play it. Oh but this video never ends. Hi now I'm vlogging. Now I'm now I'm down to the point of vlogging. Just because I want to get this video out I don't want to do any more green screen. It takes too long but I just played the Princess Peach Showtime demo and I wanted to talk about it. It's the first 30 minutes of the game and hey it's very cute. I think for a younger audience this game is going to be a lot of fun. It actually reminds me of games I used to play as like as a kid. Like the point and click interactive style games. You went screen by screen and just kind of interacted with what was on the screen around you and it was the joy and wonderment of just what happened every time you tried this or you tried that. It's not something I think I could enjoy personally as a 33 year old man. I'm not going to play through the whole game but for a younger crowd this is a very cute animated adventure. But yeah just a bite size little left to right platformer where you interact with the things around you and it's cute and it's fun. Not for me but uh yeah. That's a bunch of games that I've been playing lately. I hope this year is good for video games. I highly doubt that it'll compete with 2023 and looking at the list of games coming out in 2025 we might have another banger year on our hands. They just announced Pokemon Pizza. I'm actually very excited for that but there's not a lot that I'm looking forward to this year and I've been playing and making switch content now for the last seven years. Really looking forward to the Nintendo Switch 2 coming out in 2024. Watch that. Take a look behind me. No. No I don't think I will.


A fundamental law of genetic states that offspring do not inherit traits from their parents that were acquired in response to environmental conditions. Recent research in the field of epigenetics, however, is turning this principle on its head. Several recent studies have come to the remarkable conclusion that unhealthy diets in males can contribute to the development of metabolic diseases in their offspring, even when those offspring are raised with healthy diets. Now, a study has identified small RNAs as the molecules responsible for the transmission of these disorders. For a long time, scientists thought that inheritance of traits only occurred via DNA being passed from parent to offspring. It is now clear, however, that the experiences of one generation can have an effect on the next. When parents have a high-stress lifestyle or an unhealthy diet, for example, chemical modifications can occur on genes that are then passed to their children. This is termed epigenetic inheritance. To pinpoint the epigenetic factors involved in the inheritance of metabolic diseases, a team of researchers in France conducted experiments using a mouse model. Young male mice were divided into two groups. One was fed a standard chow diet, and the other a Western-like diet, highly enriched in sugar and fat. After 16 weeks, these mice were crossed with females that had been fed a standard diet. The resulting offspring were raised on a healthy diet. Despite this, the researchers found that those offspring with an obese father exhibited significantly increased body weight and fasting blood glucose levels. A third experimental group was then assembled. Male and female mice that had been fed a standard diet were bred. RNA from the sperm or testis of a healthy mouse or obese mouse was then transferred by micro-injection to the resulting embryo. This time, the body weight of the offspring depended not on the diet of their parents, but on the type of mouse from which the RNA molecules were derived. If the modified embryo received RNA from an obese mouse, the offspring showed significantly higher body weight than those that received RNA from a healthy one. These results add to a growing body of literature indicating that diet-induced metabolic diseases can be passed from one generation to the next and implicate RNA signalling as a likely cause.


Kids are capable of great creativity and they initially engage in learning very naturally Kids who are in supportive environments. They continue to learn But what about those kids who do not have the benefits of a supportive environment in their homes? How do we provide them with the personalized learning support? They need to be to reach their full potential the story I'm going to tell is one about the science and technology of engaging and enhancing learning and This isn't the story you're hearing about the internet giving access to the world's masses Access is important, but it's not enough especially for those kids who don't do not have the benefits of the middle-class home In that access model, there's a lot of focus on the input to learning But we need more focus on the output of learning the educational outcomes that we want all kids to achieve Imagine we could double how much students learn or cut the time in half that it takes to learn valuable skills those are among the goals of the Simon initiative that Dr. Suresh Mentioned and that Simon initiative encompasses our efforts at Carnegie Mellon to enhance the science and practice of learning We've also created this global learning council that's bringing together industry and universities and foundations Towards this outcome goal right improving educational outcomes and that group has created some great examples of Improving outcomes. I'll start with one of my own We've created these computer-based intelligent tutoring systems that provide kids with one-on-one Support like a human tutor and those are in widespread use in thousands of schools around the world experiments on the Effectiveness of those have shown that in a full school year can actually double Students achievement and algebra through the use of these supportive technologies and combined with a human teacher Similarly at the college level we created a lot of online very highly interactive courses one for statistics was demonstrated to Help students learn more and half a semester than a full course our partners in the global learning council like Kaplan have done similar Experiments Kaplan did this comparison of 50 minutes of lecture video that they had to 10 minutes of research based Examples of experts solving problems that 10 minutes led to better learning than the lecture model So the lecture model is based on experts self-reflecting on what they know to design content But the trouble is experts don't really know what they know experts in Tennis for instance will say that they in part topspin on a ball by flipping their wrist But actually video studies show that their wrists are stiff at the point of contact with the ball You acquired your native language without a having language We don't really know what we know and a consequence of that is when we Look at actual data from learning. We're often surprised So in this algebra project that that we created teachers told us kids have a lot of problems Difficulties with story problems. They're harder than equations, but the data showed us exactly the opposite quite surprising Instructors are just not aware of the nuances that they acquire through experience It's implicit in their learning So technology in addition to being able to personalize instruction is a way to collect lots of data to discover these nuances And by discovering these nuances we can enhance instruction So we've created this data lab. It's a huge repository of such data And we've repeatedly used it to discover barriers to learning that trip up struggling students So if we redesign instruction based on Addressing those barriers that we've discovered we can get those two times better two times faster learning outcomes that I mentioned earlier We've also been experimenting with different approaches to instruction Now if you look at debates on on education, you might come away thinking there's two different ways to teach But in fact, we've discovered 200 trillion different ways of teaching. It's 200 trillion different combinations of strategies For supporting learning and you'll hear from Emma about some advanced technologies to help us find the best pathways And then just Dean's going to tell you about some social emotional issues on top of that Going forward. We're inviting our global learning council partners and others to contribute data and methods to this data lab And we want to support them in making these kinds of discoveries that are going to enhance learning going forward The goal is to make a huge difference in education for these kids that that need it most and that it's a huge challenge But I think through a unified effort of industry and universities and government We'll be able to unlock the mystery and potential of human learning. Thank you


It's fantastic, it's always nice to play games and to be the first Wanderer to get to 50, it's a fantastic achievement for myself, really proud of doing that and I'm hoping that there's many more to come beyond the 50 but yeah it's something I don't think about but always great to notch up little milestones like that. It's an honour, I'm very thankful to have the faith of the manager to consistently put me in there week in, week out and hopefully I can get 50 more very soon. Favourite match, I'd have to say if I look at the whole scope of things we've had a lot of successful matches and everything but when we beat Newcastle over there, to clinch the Premier's plate, I think the meaning behind that and to actually do that was the highlight so far for me. You can look at individual performances and be proud of yourself but there's not too many chances that you get to lift up silverware and that game allowed us to do it in our first year so that's a pretty special one. It's a hard one, the Derby is always great, the atmosphere is always electric but I guess I'd have to say where we clinched the minor Premier's ship up in Newcastle you know it was my first piece of silverware as a senior player so that was a pretty special moment for me and you know the travelling fans made it feel like a home game and yeah it was just a great night. Worst match, I'd have to go to the Grand Final again for the reasoning behind that it was this country's biggest game in football, we won the Premier's plate and we were going into their confidence, we just didn't bring our game, we had fantastic support, full stadium and we felt short the last hurdle so that's the one that stings the most. Probably losing the Grand Final, yeah my first ever Grand Final and I had I guess I was feeling a lot more confident than maybe I should have and yeah it wasn't a great feeling losing that game. For me personally I'd probably have to say the central coast away when I saved the penalty and we went on to win that game 1-0 and I think pretty much that one sort of helped us secure the title because we got in front of the central coast of that stage and then went on to win the Premier's ship and I suppose if they went 1-0 up at that time and it probably wasn't one of our best games, they were dominating, I think it was a crucial save on my behalf and it got us three points in the end and you know eventual Premier winners. Most memorable moment would probably be the first time I got to wear the captain's arm end. It was a special moment for me to lead out the boys and as I said to have the faith and backing of the manager and the players behind you was a special feeling. Personal moment, the one sticks out and that's in Wellington when a simple cross caught a gust of wind and seemed to just trickle into the back of the net, something that didn't look very dangerous at all. It's one of those moments that sort of yeah you look back on it, it's just more sort of frustrating than anything else and went on to lose that game 1-0 even though I think I sort of put in a good performance after that mistake, it's just one of those silly moments that don't seem to happen that often so it's one I'd like to sort of scratch out. Worst individual moment probably because I'll never get it let down by the media, mere gifting Del Piero a ball, you know the game before we ended up winning the Premiership but we could have won it at home and you're not winning that game so there was a bit of a nightmare moment.


So my beautiful people I am back with another outing video people checked check this out look at the size of this thing Absolutely Ridiculous and amazing weapons super unique skills with intellect guys you need this in your life How's it going guys?

The people that are crossing the border from Ukraine, the migrants coming to the Republic of Moldova, can meet threats in front of their path to their own security. As, for example, I can mention even the accommodations that they are offered, as I previously said, not everyone is having the best interest at their heart. And, for example, for the platforms, online platforms that are providing services, of renting an apartment, it's not all the time possible to trust them, because they can lie to you and they can provide you with different kind of photos of apartments that aren't really located in the Republic of Moldova and aren't even like real.
