So it proceeds from the starting point that Wikipedia is a very good beginning for research, but there are problems with it. It's a popular attack target. Wikiscanner showed that certain people would like you to think that what's on Wikipedia is the whole truth. Wikipedia decides we want reliable sources, so that's newspapers, television, that's good. If you control the newspapers and the television, you control Wikipedia, click on the picture. Here's an example.  I would say at least that there's room for discussion, but according to Wikipedia, there's no room for discussion. So how do you fit that discussion in? Because Wikipedia is a site that everybody goes to. So what the software does is you install it, you forget it, and then one day, hey, you remember it because it pops up a little suggestion. That's, oh, by the way, there is another opinion here. Click here for somebody else's thoughts about what happened to Seven Wall Trade Center. So that's what it does. How does it work behind the scenes? It's quietly, every time you're on Wikipedia, it goes away and it checks against the sites which you said you were interested to know about. Oh, do you know anything about this page? And according to, if it finds one, then it pops up a little button so that you can go there. So it's like, it's adding a little list to the, you might want to go here on the bottom of Wikipedia page, but it's not on Wikipedia, so they can't take it off Wikipedia. So it intercepts the page loads and says, okay, that's the language and that's the page name. Is there an English language site that you've said you're interested in that references this page name? So yes, you have to, it can only go to a site that's ready to receive it because you say, okay, this is my access URL, it's a template. He was on the Seven Wall Trade Center page, so if that's got a page, it will look like this. So it just sends out a head request, have you got a page, checks the code, if it's a 404, don't bother. If there is a page that matches that, it's like, oh, by the way, here's a page that matches that you might be interested in. So how do you get your website ready for this? You choose an access URL. So if you're in a wiki, you might want to dedicate a separate namespace, okay, this is just incoming access points for people who are using this. You have to include a page name because that's how you vary the access points and then you send that to one of your existing pages. You may include a language code. If you've got multi-language website, then you go ahead and you make the pages. So every page on your website has to be associated with one particular Wikipedia access point. So if you've got a wiki, that could be just redirect. If you've got another website, you manage that how you like. I've written a little piece of software, you can just put it in XML. So are you locked into particular websites? No, there's a GUI. You can say, okay, these are the access URLs I'm interested in. So if you enable your website and I say, okay, let's add that to the default install if you want to configure yours in another way. I say, I'm not interested in that one. Do you just delete that? So yeah, you choose the sites and what are you doing here? You're tying your websites to a particular Wikipedia page. Now, okay, that does take some time, but it's got some value anyway because it's effectively a URI, which Wikipedia, you know, there's a lot. They're pretty comprehensive. They're fairly self-documenting. Just go to the webpage. They're easily localized because there's a big list of foreign languages along the side. So you are getting your site ready for a semantic web. Okay, where is the software at the moment? There is a plugin that works for Firefox 3 or more. And what we're looking for is anybody who wants to develop it for IE or Chrome or improve the plugin or even better if you got a website. That's actually the biggest gap because there's a network problem here. So people say, oh, but that only works for a couple of websites. Well, that's up to you. If you've got a website and you'd like some more traffic, then you just match your web pages to the Wikipedia URIs. And then you let me know via email and there was some contact details somewhere. But you can probably remember the website anyway, wikipediaplus.org. And you could see it going, but I mean, that's no great shakes. Have we got time? Yeah. Okay. So you're here. You can enable it or disable it. It does slow it down slightly because I haven't coded it as well as it could be coded. I'm sure of that. But if you enable it, I mean, in Bangladesh, it's the right pain, I tell you, but you've got some pretty good bandwidth here. So, okay, it's popped up a little thing. And then it's like, oh, you might wish to go here or here. Click here. You can configure it. It'll send you there or it'll open it in a new tag or whatever. So there's a little bit of configuration you can do and yeah, that's something else. And yeah, you know, are you interested in this website? Well, that's one that it comes with by default because I liked it. But if you'd like, if you have a website and you'd like yours to be packaged in on the list of default websites it could go to, then yeah, Wikipedia enable it and contact me. Thank you, any questions? That's it. Okay, thanks. Thank you.


Listen, I don't usually upload on Mondays, but yesterday something incredible happened. The hat trick, the trifecta, if you will, of Dragon Ball announcement slash trailers dropped in. We're here to check them out today. We have the Sparking Zero Goku vs Vegeta Rivals trailer. We have the Dragon Ball Dima, a new trailer for that, and the third Kakarot DLC Season 2 trailer. It's a lot.  I do know that the roster for Sparking Zero was also sort of teased or so. Like they showed some of them and I have the list as well. So after the Sparking Zero trailer, we'll get into that and then Dima and then Kakarot. So without further ado, let's hop into these bad boys. We'll start with Sparking Zero Unreal Engine, I think five. Okay. Yeah, I don't again. I don't even know what this trailer is about or if it's just more to tease more of Sparking Zero. It's like, yeah, I guess it's going to be Goku vs Vegeta. Yeah, it looks so good, man. Actual gameplay in cutscenes is said. Ah! Great aim form. Dude, okay, I'm sorry. I don't mean to pause. If this is actual gameplay, bro, the like black, dude, that goes so crazy. Okay. That goes crazy. That goes absolutely dummy.  Challenging limits. Yeah, dude, they're not showing much at all. They are flexing how nice it looks. There was that black and white again. It's just like them slowly ramping up more and more. Dude, it's just like the bright vibrant colors. My favorite thing is heavy outlines, like heavy lines on the outside. The character says my, hmm, that vibrance, baby. So now it's like, it's like, okay, we're taken to Kaijin. Yeah. That's how it's like distinguishing it to new levels. Like everything in super and beyond. Mm-hmm. It's like, this is what we got now, baby. This is a very smart way to do a trailer though without showing too much of your hand. It's like all the different forms that didn't exist in previous Tenkaiji games. That's sick. Oh, man. And yeah, I did hear there is no release date. So this, I believe, is what people were saying is like the teaser for the number of characters. Give us a date, Toei! Or Bandai Namco. I don't know who decides it. Spike Chunsoft. But I'm guessing since we still don't have a date, that means we are not seeing this game this year.  Maybe if we get a release date within like two or three months, then yes, I will say this year. But don't think that's a good sign if they're not still saying in January. Who knows though? Who knows? I'd rather it take time and just be pristine. Okay, so this is where we have Sword of the Roster, but I think this other page shows it a bit better. Yes, okay, here we go. The first 24 characters are revealed and I think we have a list too. Now this was a very smart way to do it because I think they're kind of grouped up so like all the vegetas are here and like going down to there. So I don't know how many vegetas there are if it's like rows like that. I think we have like more of the OG Z fighters, Yamcha, Krillin up here in the top left.  And I love how the Bergamo shot is from the last trailer. Trunks stuff like that. And then bottom left is kind of just dedicated to Goku. So how many slots is this total? I'm not gonna count that. It's a lot. And then we have ourselves sort of like an official list. So like all the Goku's and all the vegetas. And like I said, this is sort of a just T's for all the go like forms of Goku and Vegeta that are in the game. And this is pretty standard for a Dragon Ball game. Like getting to use every individual version in different fights. And I think besides this like this list just shows all the Vegeta and Goku's in addition to what we've seen like Bergamo and all them. And it's interesting because they're not showing their full hand yet unless there is no like Goku Ultra Instinct because we have Goku Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan, but no Ultra Instinct. And then same for Vegeta. He has SSGSS, but none of the I count for the life of me. Remember the blue like sparkling version like right beyond blue for Vegeta. So I wonder if those aren't included or like I said, they're just keeping more like sort of hidden still either way.  I just can't wait. I need to go back and play more to Kaiji 3 and I think you guys would agree. Okay on to Dima. That was only a minute long trailer. I did not react actually to the first Dima trailer. I didn't want to like fake react to it, but I have not seen this one. So song Goku character trailer and I believe I haven't looked at the info for Dima since the first trailer came out. It's like a scenario where they were all turned back into kids, which I think a lot of people were mad that they're not adapting to super manga. And I kind of understand that, especially if you've been waiting. I haven't been waiting that long. But I feel like it's a very cool concept considering you can kind of go back to the roots because they're kids again. They're not as powerful. I'm guessing in that form. So let's see how this trailer goes. It also looks absolutely adorable. And I like the art style too. Is this gonna be like one of those trailers where it's just music and random scenes from the show? I think it is. Kind of them flexing what the show will look like. Yeah, well, like I said, like more martial arts back to the basics, which is cool, especially because Dragon Ball has gone to such crazy heights. I see exactly why they did this. Oh my, is that Bergamo? So did all of them get turned into kids? I guess it's just a Goku trailer. Why do these guys look familiar? These like grunts. Oh, it's gonna bother me. Oh, no, I think they just remind me of Champa. Dude, I mean the animation looks so clean like him using the power pole. It's sick. I don't know how I feel about the logo still, but that's, that's more like a minor gripe. trailers like that are so funny. We're just, there's just no sound, no voice lines or anything. I think it's the colors of the brushstroke behind it that I'm not the biggest fan of. I mean, at least we have a date for this one. I actually did not realize it was the fall of this year. That's pretty exciting. I think it is confirmed. It's gonna be like only 12 episodes, 24 episodes. Let me find out 20 episodes. Okay, but I mean, that's still solid. So the wait for that continues and there will be a reaction series to that on this channel. So make sure you're subscribed to not miss it. Next trailer. Okay, so here's the thing about this. I know that this trailer is called Goku's Next Journey DLC. There's going to be the final DLC in Kakarot for the season to pass. I don't know if they're gonna do anything beyond this. I'm hoping they do like the tournament of power because I think that would be so sick. And I believe that this covers the end of Z with the entire thing with Majin Buu. All I know about it is that he's like reincarnated into whatever Uub is or if that's even like a human. I don't know. Either way, whenever I play through it, it will be just like the Kakarot series where I will be relatively confused the whole time. Let's watch the trailer. Okay, don't really know why he was reincarnated either. Like how? I think it was like, later. I think it was like natural. Was that, is that like teal? Kind of looks clean. It's like a more neutral color for Goku. Goku's Next Journey. I've also been told, quick sidebar, that this part of the manga slash show is very short and a lot of people are very surprised they're turning into a DLC. So I'll be very intrigued to see how they stretch it out because I felt like that the tournament, the last DLC for Kakarot, the world tournament DLC, was like the perfect length. And I think people have said that that arc is sort of like double triple what this is in the anime manga. So I really don't know how they're gonna stretch it. Maybe some like game canon content. Like original story stuff. So does he fight him in the tournament? That's Ube, okay.  What happened with Ube and Super? Like, was there ever, for the life of me, do not remember. I mean, Buu is in Super, right? So was Ube like a separate reincarnation and then they just did nothing with him? I guess he's a kid, there's like still potential they could use him later on. The wish of 10 years ago. So this seems like it's only gonna be one fight Goku vs. And they're like chill with each other. I mean, this has to by far be the shortest one, right? Like Bardock, then a 23rd, then this one. And I feel like if they are to do a third season pass, they have to use the turn of the power. Cause like how much else could, I guess they could do GT. Wouldn't that be crazy? Playing Kakarot instead of watching GT. Who in their right minds would do that? But no, this doesn't look too bad. I would be pretty hesitant. How many like manga chapters is it? Dragon Ball, Z, arcs. Kid Boosaga, 9 chapters or 12 episodes. That is quite short. Although I could definitely see 12 episodes being turned into one DLC. Like one maybe two hour DLC. Cause they could definitely pad it with just random stuff. So that's a little bit, oh wait, they turned 9 chapters into 12 episodes. That's some one piece pacing, man. Oh my gosh. I could definitely see it happening.  So they have to kind of pad it in some form or fashion. But yeah guys, that's been it. I just wanted to react to those three things because it was a big drop yesterday. And it's very exciting for Dragon Ball fans getting this much new content and whatnot. Both show and game wise. Again, I'll be reacting to Dima here on the channel once it happens. Still finishing super up. If you want Dragon Ball games content, head over to my non reaction channel. But I'll catch you guys in the next one. Peace, peace.


So we're here at the Nanosys here in the Silicon Valley and who are you? I'm Jason Hartlow president and CEO of Nanosys So Nanosys is the quantum dot company, right? That's right We provide quantum dots to every consumer brand our product in the world. It's out there today We have close to a hundred percent market share all of the products that you're seeing with quantum dots QLED PQ vision all of these various different brandings that you see out there P series quantum from Vizio all of these products are using the materials that we developed in Manufacture right here at Nanosys. So right here in this building it right here in this building It's happening right here. There's a machine right now even as we speak. Yes Some pretty big machines some pretty good-sized machines. Yeah But that are that are designed in way to do mass production of nanotechnology, right? That's right So we're producing nanocrystals very very small Two nanometers to maybe five nanometers or eight nanometers in diameter each individual crystal And we produce these on a scale of hundreds of gallons of material is being produced at a time So it's really just a phenomenal thing It's beyond kind of our comprehension of how many particles there are within one of our reactors for example It's literally billions of billions of billions something like 10 to the 24th particles Are in one of our reactors at any given time And we're precisely controlling the atomic level growth of these crystals So that they're all growing to within a few atoms of each other in terms of their size So very very uniform across population and very very common in terms of the light that they give out They make use of an effect called the quantum confinement effect Which is where we basically have an exciton or an energy source coming into the to the crystal that's absorbed by the crystal and then the Exciton is split into a electron whole pair and after they recombine The amount of energy that the electron whole pair have is limited by the quantum confinement or the actual bore radius Physical size of the particle so as a result we can excite these crystals for example with a blue light And then we can down convert that energy to green light Perfect green light or perfect red light, etc And so in that way we're able to create the perfect spectrum of red green and blue light Just right for making great color displays perfect high-resolution Perfect for the high-resolution products and high definition Products that are out there today. So it's not just about doing more colors is about doing better colors Yeah, it's really about how do we improve the color purity? So of course the color accuracy is important So color accuracy refers to our ability to put the wavelength of color Exactly in the right place where the primary is located. So for every one of our video spaces For example DCI P3 is a common video standard There's an ideal primary location And so there's an ideal place where the green wavelength should be But in addition to having it properly located at that perfect primary We also want to have a very narrow green We don't want to have a big broad wide green because then it starts to look more yellowish to the eye It starts to pick up some more of the red and some more of the blue and this is just really You know distorts our perception of the purity of that color and so by having these perfect primaries The overall color fidelity of the system can really be improved So Is this the biggest mass production of nanotechnology in the world? So as far as we know, this is the biggest production now technology that's used for any kind of what I would call electronic application There are Large-scale nano materials, which are produced perhaps at larger scales that are used for things like Cosmetics and paints But these are not what we would call active materials our crystals our semiconductor materials are very active crystals They're light emitting they absorb energy from one wavelength and emit at a different wavelength This makes them very different than for example materials that are used in in cosmetics or in colorants Where you're basically making use of the size effect purely from a physical standpoint not from an electrical or optical standpoint So another technology is some of the most cutting-edge kind of science or technology out there, right? And so you're the forefront of that and it's the first that you know, that's you need so much of it There's so many TVs. Yeah, it's the first real large-scale deployment of nanotechnology nanocrystal technology in electronics, that's correct crystal in nano size, yes So there's crystal in LCD, but you're doing some different kind of crystals Yeah, so the liquid crystal material is actually not really a crystal. It's actually a molecule And so that's that's kind of a little bit of an architect or leftover of the the naming convention for LCD liquid crystal display so the Differences we're not making molecular arrangement. We're making a semiconductor particle And so this is done with very high-temperature processes Materials are brought together and annealed into these perfect little semiconductor cores, which we then surround with Offset type semiconductor for a shell to further confine the wave function of the particle So right here does a quantum TV. So how many? Billions or trillions are there on the screen, for example? Yeah, so that's a it's a really great question It's kind of hard to rationalize that so In this screen, we might have something like about half a gram of quantum dot material But the what each quantum dot is weighing so small amounts, right? I mean we're talking about nanograms or femtograms So there are again there are billions and billions and billions of particles in this Single sheet right here all of them very uniform all emitting this perfect red green blue spectrum of light Which results in a really beautiful? Color spectrum and color reproduction of this set when we look at this and we compare for example in this scene here This is what we call a McBeth chart the McBeth chart color accuracy is really one of the key things that people look at This is a standard test diagram or test pattern That has the various different color patches on there and you can measure using a meter exactly how accurate This set is in terms of reproducing those colors and you find that it's it's very very accurate compared to Any other stuff that's out there on the market so only half a gram that means you spray it out very There's not like thinner than the butter and bread is like absolutely very thin very very thin And then there's billions and each of these particles exactly the same exactly the same How do you make something that's everywhere? Everything is so small and exactly the same. That's the miracle of our Development work that we've done here is really what we call a chemical self assembly and so You know, we have obviously people who work here in the in the facility People in the manufacturing area who run the reactions But really at the end of the day what's happening is each one of the atoms is going into each one of these crystals is Being self assembled into these little tiny crystals by other molecules that we've designed in the reaction And so this chemical self assembly process is what allows us to basically put these little crystals together So perfectly and control how uniform they are across such a wide such a huge like incomprehensibly large number of particles that are being synthesized at any given time It sounds like you saying the small little atoms are like little workers that are making sure they put they go in the right place The molecules are little workers that are depositing the atoms in the right place. That's right That's a good analogy for it molecules of what? So for example, there are different types of salts and acids and other types of molecules that we use that help To put the donor atom. So for example a metal ion for example an indium ion They'll put that in just the right place together with a phosphorus ion and that'll come together Inform an indium phosphide cluster and then we'll start to see Additional little molecules come along and deposit their indium and their phosphorus together with that little cluster That's already formed and we start to grow an indium phosphide little crystal and that's basically progresses and a large You know many people maybe did crystal growth when they were kids, you know in with the sugar water or other types of Crystal growth. It's a similar kind of concept to that. You basically have a saturated Solution and you have these crystals that want to form as a result of the way you put the overall system together And I would guess there's some parts that you kind of scrap to scrub out But you have to take it all out. You know that if otherwise it's not going to be good Yeah So what we do is after we synthesize the the crystal those little worker molecules that we've got those are by Products so we have to clean those those are not going to be light emitting. They're not going to help in any way The quality of the end product that we're making so we have a cleaning process a washing process where we remove We separate those again very very small two nanometer size Particles from these very small little molecules that we use to help facilitate the reaction and then we have the clean You know cores As we call them and then we're going to take those and we're going to do another process operation on them We're going to wrap them in each each individual core is going to be wrapped with an epitax So they matched semiconductor shell So now we've got a little binary system with a core material and a shell material around it And that's going to provide us with this very high efficiency little light engine That we've got that's going to emit those perfect colors So how clean does it get because are there still some of these? Not so good molecules at the end of the thing or they're all gone. They're all gone They're just all gone even though it's so tiny. You just know that they go Yeah, I mean we we know by means of all of our chemical analysis all of our various different optical analysis we can look for Trace presence of any impurities and all of that stuff and so these are truly electronic grade materials That that do not have any of those byproducts left in them So is nanotechnology is just it's kind of like chemistry nanotechnology in terms of the synthesis process Is really about cutting-edge chemistry That the interesting thing about nanotechnology is it's kind of it's cross disciplinary And so a lot of the things that i'm telling you about are have to do with solid state physics and electrical engineering As well as you know the synthetic elements, which are coming from chemistry So really in our company we have people from all different backgrounds working across these different disciplines To design the right materials to come up with the ideas for how to Choose the right band gaps of materials people working on how we can actually do Synthesis using those materials and then ultimately how those materials integrate into devices Like the quantum dot film that you see here in these uh commercial televisions So um in two or three years is going to be a 20 year anniversary right the company But this this was invented a little bit before and uh, but to get all this to work It's not so easy, right? So that's why you're the world leader. Nobody else can get to do this. It's been it's been a very very Uh rigorous Development process to get to a point where these materials could not only emit the light that was necessary with the high efficiency But also have the stability so one thing about nanomaterials is that There's just many many forces in nature Which generally tend to oppose the nano effects And so it's difficult to get the nanoscale effect To still be present when you have a large ensemble of these materials For example, people have tried for a long time To do something that's called the gecko adhesive effect and this is where geckos little lizards Have these little tiny hairs on their feet and they're actually able Because of a very high surface area effect They're actually able to grip on to the side of a wall and climb up The problem is when we try and replicate that with nanofibers because they are nanoscale fibers on the gecko's feet The problem is that those fibers will get fouled by things in the environment dust dirt oil Whatever and then pretty soon they just become a little clump and they no longer have that high surface area effect The gecko solves that problem because he's a biological organism. He's continually regenerating new little nanofibers on his feet But we can't do that. So we can make a material that's very sticky No adhesive, but it sticks perfectly Just like the gecko's feet But the minute that it comes in contact with any contamination or other things it starts to lose that adhesive ability So a key thing for quantum dots was how did how could we take these materials and put them into a form factor? Where they did not immediately lose their light emitting capability become quenched By environment by other materials that might be in the systems, etc So making them robust so that they could be used in commercial applications last for 50 000 hours in a television application, etc This was where a lot of time and energy was spent with these materials So that took like a decade to figure that out? It took about a decade to figure that out when I joined the company in 2008 What we had was basically this kind of a material So we had this is just a demo. This is a green quantum dots in In a solution And so you can see that these uh, you know, they don't look like much but when we put them over a blue light source We can get this very perfect pure green color that's emitted by them To go from that though, which is liquid in a bottle into a television is a big step And so what we had to do was come up with a way to integrate those materials into a television manufacturing process It was cost effective and maintained all of that lifetime and all those other characteristics that was necessary And ultimately what we came up with was a film concept And so this is the film that's actually used in that television that we're talking that we saw earlier This is a quantum dot enhancement film and what it is is it's a very very thin layer of that nanomaterial the quantum dots Um dispersed between two sheets of plastic with some resin to give it a little stability And this is a very robust implementation. This can last for you know, many many years in the tv application And uh, actually I'll last a lot of the other components. So that's what you call q def This is q def quantum dot enhancement film and this is uh, this is it it feels it's It's not it's not just a sheet of plastic. That's what I kind of thought but it's much more complicated Just a sheet of transparent plastic.  So this is this is built using white leds. This is a conventional backlight panel And so behind that set there is this white light and then there's a modulator in front of it Which flickers each individual pixel on and off but ultimately The source of the light is coming from here So when we look at the spectra of that light source and we look specifically at it We see that we have a very very fraud peak Here which is containing green and yellow and orange and red So there isn't a distinct green and red peak As a result of that in order to make a red and green color channel at the television We have to filter out all of that yellow content get rid of it Basically terribly inefficient and as a result the resulting peaks that we get aren't very sharp They aren't very well defined On the other hand if we take our quantum dot film we use a blue backlight blue leds Which are basically the same leds as are used in the white Just without the so-called yag Phosphor material which converts the blue light into that yellow light We take that blue light source We put one of our quantum dot films into the backlight unit And now we've got this perfect Light for making perfect red green and blue again We take the spectral meter and we see that the peaks are very very sharply and well defined So now your green sub pixel is going to have a green color that looks like that Your red is going to have a red that looks like that and your blue is going to have a blue that looks like that Very sharp very perfect primaries and we can see that when we look at one of those sets So for example, if we come over here take a look at one of these white areas, which has all three colors Again, we can see that we've got that perfect red green blue In terms of color now if we look at an OLED set Which is using an alternative type of lighting technology We can see that again, we're back to having this very messy primary system And so the green and the red are not well defined as a result You don't get the ability to paint your color palette Perfectly if you have perfect primaries you can paint all of the colors in between perfectly With your color rendering But if you have messy primaries you're going to wind up with messy colors in between So why the OLED can't figure this out? Well, the the emission technology the light emitting technology used for the OLED is is quite broad in terms of The spectrum that they that they have to live with So it's a real fundamental limit of the OLED materials And then at the sid display week with together samsung you're showing the q-dark you call it right right So this is an enhancement to this quantum dot film Whereby instead of just having a sheet of film that goes into an integrated assembly It's one part of a multi-part assembly. We actually have the entire backlight Light guide plate we call it in one piece and so this one piece light guide plate has the quantum dot material Directly deposited on it So in in this assembly If we look inside of here, we've got a couple of plastic sheets On we've got this piece of plastic which is transmitting the light We've then got this and then we've got some other Optical films that are they're stuck on top of here in order to render the Perfect color and brightness coming out This eliminates all of those other Components and as a result can improve the overall thickness of the set tremendously The other thing that's great about it is it's dimensionally very stable being glass This allows us to Drive this with very very very bright light and not have to worry about the plastic Becoming deformed as a result of the high temperatures that are associated with driving this with extremely bright light And as we move towards 8k The pixel aperture ratio in 8k goes down and you need brighter and brighter light sources in your backlight In order to maintain brightness at the front of the screen So we think that the qt on glass is going to be a really important technology for 8k And we're very excited to be working on that and that the ces is an amazing demo I think Sony was showing 10 000 nits Uh some crazy bright displays. It's also great even 4k to have crazy bright displays It makes you suddenly feel like you're outdoors. Yeah, this effect of Really having a lifelike brightness Can't be understated in terms of the the viewing experience It goes from being the difference really of Of looking at what you know is just kind of television To almost like you're looking out the window at an actual outdoor scene right the specular reflections off of Shiny surfaces the way the sunlight glints The way backlight happens all of this with high dynamic range with very high brightness Is extremely compelling in terms of visual experience and when you see skies when you see outdoor scenes It's just like wow It looks outdoors It doesn't look like a you know when you see the sun it sort of it looks like the sun It doesn't look like a little gray ball or orange ball Kind of you know that's dimmer than the the house lights that you have in your room So yeah brightness is very very compelling Obviously we want to do that in a very energy efficient way Also the the dynamic range or the contrast between those very very bright brights and dark darks is also very critical And and and then you also have something coming up. So you're doing a This one, which is yeah, so also compatible with the with the OLED Yeah, so this is a way in which OLED can improve its color rendering capability. So for example That you can make these are this blue light is generated by conventional blue LEDs Um, and then they go into a plastic panel and then the lights coming out this way However, you could also make a blue OLED Instead of a blue led source And so if you were to do that and then you were to put individual chips or individual little patterns of Quantum dot material on top of it then you would be able to basically come up with a rendering of Very perfect again red and green and so now You can imagine that these are the sub pixels in your set And so instead of having That spectrum that you had there, which was you know, as we could see from the OLED very wide Your blue sub pixel would look like this So very narrow your red sub pixel Would look very red and your green sub pixel Would look very green And so this is a way in which we can combinatorially Put together the red quantum dots green quantum dots with the blue OLED emission And make the so-called QT OLED hybrid device Which is very exciting in terms of color performance brightness performance And really bringing OLED to the next level So bringing OLED to the next level but also LCD to the next level Well, LCD definitely is is also already coming to the next level thanks to things like quantum dot enhancement film and QT on glass LCD and OLED each have some advantages And they each have you know some demerits as well. So as as you well know LCD is well established technology It's very low cost and the capacity and the ability to make large panels is very good Whereas OLED is just an emerging technology today and doesn't have those kind of benefits But it does have extremely good black levels Which is a which is a benefit. So you're definitely going to be partnering with the OLED industry We're partnering with the OLED industry LCD industry micro LEDs any kind of display technology that's out there That's developing or is already in the market We're partnering with how we can use and integrate quantum dots into their devices to help make More perfect colors more beautiful color palettes And more efficiency coming out of those systems. And then there's another thing that's coming up is the emitting one Yeah, so these are self emitting crystals. And so when we think about what I said earlier how quantum dots can be made to emit light by stimulating them with External photon like a blue photon and then they re-emit in their various different Colors based on their size we can also stimulate them electrically and so we can directly pump the quantum dot materials With electrons and holes and cause them to emit and so that's what's shown in this demo. This is electrically pumped red green and blue cadmium free quantum dots with very high efficiency And eventually those will be used and patterned as pixels down on Substrates to to form the display is it to get over the micro LED or something different That that would be completely self emitting so there wouldn't be any micro LED or OLED material in that system But that's some number of years away before that system will have the stability To be able to meet consumer requirements today These materials have relatively short lifetimes. And so they wouldn't be good for a consumer product And and how far is this one? this technology with the Color converter. I think is you know easily coming to market within 18 months perhaps less The quantum dot materials for this are ready and available today And so it's really a question of the integration scheme and how that happens at our customer site QB on glass has already been shown as you know at SID and so probably coming to market very soon and quantum dot enhancement film Is out there in millions of TVs today already And that's just continues to grow in terms of the number of sets that are sold annually with quantum dot film So potentially 2020 2021 you'll be in the majority of all new TVs that get sold or Certainly, we think the majority of all TVs at or above the sort of 500 to 800 price point So cool. All right. And thanks a lot. Thank you. And maybe in the future it'd be great to see your Giant machines, but maybe not today. Okay. Not today. Thanks a lot. Thank you


Hey everybody, welcome back to my channel Drew here from Lone Fox today. I am extremely excited This is my first kind of holiday themed video on the channel I have so much Christmas stuff in the works for you guys But I figured we'd kick off the Christmas season with an Ikea shop with me now last week I actually saw Kristen McGowan upload her Ikea shop with me for holiday and it got me in such the mood to go Shopping I was so excited to see that Ikea had their new winter collection And so I headed straight over there and figured I'd also film a shop with me to share with you guys some Of the pieces that I'm gonna be picking up and of course I also like bringing those back to my space so you can kind of see them styled in actual space as opposed to like just an Ikea showroom where you can see the piece. I love giving you guys ideas on how you could style those pieces as well So we are going to be focusing on a lot of their new Winter 2021 collection, which is the Christmas line along with some other new furniture pieces and just like kitchenware Or other random items that have come out since my last shop with me video now on top of all of that You guys I have a very exciting thing to tell you the new 2021 holiday collection is live over on loanfox.com you guys every single year well I've only done it for one year. I did holiday last year I think this year's collection is so beautiful. You guys are so many cute pieces I'll pop up some imagery across the screen here But I don't want to like share with you guys absolutely everything you could browse the site if you are interested And I'll leave a link at the top of the description box below But I'm sure you guys are ready to see the new collection from Ikea for winter. So let's get to shopping Every single time I go to Ikea. I first got to walk around the showroom area So this is the first kitchen I walked into I loved the blue tile in the background with the more orangey wood on the cabinets there And every time I do one of these shop with me as well I try to go to a new Ikea that way I can share with you guys some new spaces I thought this tablescape was really great and gave a little bit of inspo maybe for Thanksgiving as well But this room that's next was just a breath of fresh air I love how they used a lot of very fresh and natural elements and mixed in some really unique Kind of juxtaposing contrast with this really funky rug They added a ton of plants to again bring back that natural vibe And I loved these wooden dressers how they paired two side by side with those leather poles I just have the vibes in this room overall were extremely calming Stepping out of the showroom area I went over to seating and I found that they had a ton of new ottomans actually six different styles I'm not sure how new these are but I loved each and every one for different reasons I thought the coloring was great. Some of them had textures you have rounds and squares My favorite is probably the yellow on the bottom right there. I just think it's a really unique color way And I will say that the gladam side table, which you guys have seen me use multiple times now comes in this really great Kind of tan taupe color, which I think is a really great base for any project or a standalone piece And then I turned the corner and saw this armchair the styling of it is a bit more traditional However, I think the fabric choice and the overall construction with the pillow in the back really makes it unique And I like the slender profile. I think if you paired this with a more modern couch, it'd be a great pairing I know we're all waiting for the Christmas decor But I do just want to share with you guys some of the other furniture pieces I found I saw this new desk chair, which I thought was fun If you want to add a little pop of color or this is perfect for like a children's room as well I didn't think I'd be dabbling into this section, but I wanted to share it with you guys This is their new gaming section So they have some brand new gaming chairs at different styles of them They have new gaming desks as well and a ton of different accessories that kind of coordinate back to gaming I'm not a gamer myself However, I think this would be a great gift for somebody that maybe is a gamer But something more along the lines for me is this great easel table I love how this tabletop is actually adjustable works perfect if you're an art student and I love the wood base It's great if you wanted to go ahead and paint or stain a different color in my last IKEA shop with me video for fall I believe I shared with you guys this four-poster bed in black by the way I also loved the strobe link it very boot clay vibes for only $29 But they also actually have this in wood as well And the wood version is stunning if you were in the market for a bed like this a canopy style bed This wood one is such a great deal for $400. I love the tone of wood as well This kitchen space here was honestly like a reverse of what we're used to I feel like we're really used to white walls wooden cabinets in the kitchen However, this was the complete opposite with wooden paneled walls and white cabinet And I think this kitchen also featured a bunch of really unique open storage solutions Which I've really been gravitating towards lately. So I thought I would share those with you guys as well Just a couple more pieces before jumping into holiday this new sideboard. I loved it. I wanted to share it with you guys I feel like it's such a simple piece. So if you're looking for a light wood option like this something to really Stylize and make unique. This is a great piece for you and also the price point of it I think for a sideboard this large is honestly very reasonable And these new little benches were also interesting to me There is a larger version and a shorter version But they're made of that pine wood which I love from IKEA because it's super customizable You could stain this you can really fabricate it any way you want to make match your space So these are some great diy bases As I walked down the stairs to the marketplace you guys I was greeted by the new Christmas collection from IKEA This is the vinter 2021 collection and there is a lot to go through So let's get started with the trees and foliage. The first thing are just their basic trees. I actually love these I've never picked one up before but I picked one up this year because the sparseness of the tree Is what really drew me to it and at first I was like, how is IKEA selling this big tree for 70 dollars? But then I realized it is really sparse. It's pretty minimal. So I brought it into my house and I just love this tree It's not going to be my main tree this year But I thought it would be a great tree to maybe utilize in my dining room space or somewhere else throughout my apartment Just as like an additional accent tree. This tree also comes in two different sizes at two different price points Still on the topic of Christmas trees They had so many different tabletop trees ranging from like this simple one here to one like this That has a burlap base and it's kind of more fluffy towards the top They really played with silhouette this season which I like they had a lot of uniquely shaped trees Even these more outdoor style trees. I love how there's a larger and a shorter But they almost give you the traditional outdoor shape But it still has that Christmas tree vibe to it and this is more of like one of those topiary style trees Is that even how you say it? I don't know but it's twisted like this Which would be perfect for the outdoors and they also have some smaller trees as well This is kind of like a mid-sized one that I actually ended up purchasing myself and adding to a little crock in the kitchen I thought this looked so cute by the window in my kitchen there with the light kind of shining through I think this is a great way to add some greenery and also this Christmas elements to other spaces throughout your home And if that one is still too large for you there's a smaller option and an even baby or option right here They also offer these little pre-potted plans or florals and kind of a Christmas theme There's this red version here and there's also some point set as that are pre-potted as well Little mini options that are great for styling in a bookcase or on top of a coffee table Every single year I buy a new pack of bottle brush trees Whether it be from Ikea or somewhere else and this year they had this set of three little trees Which I actually ended up adding to my little stool that I have on top of my fireplace mantle I think these look so cute on top of there a perfect little accent and then lastly in the Christmas tree area I found these balls of pine. I'm not sure what you're gonna use them for however. They are available Someone must have went through right before I got there and purchased all their wreaths because it was slim pickings for sure However, they did have this great one here. I love the black base and the simple pine accent at the bottom I think it's also a perfect option if you wanted a diy and add a bit more But if you did want a more full-fledged kind of thought-out wreath They have this jingle bell style one, which is really really cute and for pop of color This ornament wreath is really fun for those traditional Christmas tones and then last but not least in this section I did find these little stars covered in pine. Maybe you can utilize these in the diy or kind of style solo on a wall Three new door mats were released with this collection and I will say every single year I am someone to also purchase a new door mat for the holidays. I think it's nice to change it up I keep them all the same throughout the year, but when it comes Christmas time I am purchasing a new one. So I actually picked up this Christmas tree one just to utilize on the outside of my door Working our way into decorative objects. This was definitely a hodgepodge of randomness starting off We have a cork pony decor loved this. I thought it was very cute simple Um easy to style with and it kind of has a natural tone to it However, this straw goat was very unique definitely different So this is something you like you could definitely go for it But I thought the craftsmanship on this piece was incredible and they have a larger version of it as well Now a smaller little kind of tabletop decor pieces were this bird here. There was also a small little leprechaun I forgot to film that was cute This snow globe is also a nice little option for maybe like a child's room or to style throughout a bookshelf And they have that same kind of figurine inside the snow globe as an actual figurine These gnomes came in a couple different sizes and they were made of ceramics So if you wanted to just use those as tabletop decor And then I really gravitated towards a bunch of the paper decor this season I'm not sure why but I loved these Christmas trees and they also had some paper ornaments Which you'll see in just a little bit here, but I did pick up the taller tree to use in my apartment this year I styled it on the side table, which I'm not sure if that's its actual home But I also did do a little bit of styling on the media console as well And it's super affordable because it's paper Now I wish each piece had its own name So I can tell you guys each of the names but everything was just under the collection This right here is a little ceramic set that you can kind of DIY your own holiday scenery Which I thought was lovely and then they had a couple of tree toppers and gold and silver And you guys this little plate had a fox on it It's a tea light holder with little Christmas tree And then the last figurines in the section were these kind of crystallized trees that actually did light up So a bit more glitzy and glam if you like that for the holidays If you have never shopped for ornaments at Ikea, I think you might this year They have so many cute ornaments here I'm just gonna go through some of them so that you guys can get an idea for them These are my favorite ones right here the paper ones that kind of have the accordion folding to them I absolutely love those I picked up two packs of those ornaments They also had these really great kind of felted ornaments as well These pinecone ones I also picked up love the felting detail on the outside a few straw ones I like how they chose the red option kind of bringing in that traditional Christmas tone And with each of these little clusters of ornaments I'm sharing with you guys you actually get that many pieces and it's only like three four or five Dollars for all of those ornaments. I got two packs of these wooden ones I loved them so much and they had these little blown Christmas tree ones as well So of course after picking up the tree, I did have to pick up some of the ornaments to style it with So I got a few packs of the wooden ornaments I got a pack of the pine cones and a couple packs of those accordion kind of pleated folded ornaments And overall I loved all of these together. They're very very natural and similar in tone But I like the texture difference how there's wood There's paper and I think the paper is also great because it really has this natural Almost like used look to it where it has little bits of color in there And I just think it's such a beautiful ornament even though it's crafted out of paper You can use this year after year and for six bucks you guys you get six ornaments And they're really easy to craft and I think they're just visually very interesting And honestly another nice thing is that these ornaments don't weigh down your tree limbs So if you have a real tree that has more flimsy limbs to them a lot of these IKEA pieces are really really lightweight So they're not going to weigh down your tree in any way shape or form which we love Now working into some of their actual kind of like glass bobbly ornaments Here are a few options here and they did have some pre-packaged ones kind of in already preset colorways So they had that kind of traditional christmas one This one here is a bit more of a yellowy gold situation and there was also a blue set as well There could even be more than this but these are the three that my IKEA had And then they also had these larger sets in gold silver and red and these were really beautiful I think these are great to mix into your christmas decor Maybe add some more personalized ornaments as well and kind of transfer in some of these pieces here and there When it comes to prints from IKEA, they are just never my favorite anything printed I never gravitate towards I don't know why and I know that I'm kind of skipping over these christmas boxes That were so freaking cute loved those and this twine and these bows But I'm mainly talking about the wrapping paper this year because you guys they had it on lock I thought all of their wrapping paper and the patterns and prints and colors and just Choices they made were so so cute Here are kind of just a couple of the different ones that I loved this kind of Nordic one This one has little trees in it. There was also some with just some florally elements I love this dark green one and then just some more simple kind of traditional style christmas papers Overall, I was really surprised with how much I loved these pieces and I actually ended up picking up Quite a few of them including these gift boxes as well These last little bits of decor are pieces that can really transition in and out of the holidays I loved this picture with the green interior and it's a perfect base to style some of these stems in like this little Berry branch or this pine cone and star stem. I thought this was a really cute option as well And then they also had these little woven baskets that had popory inside including these little christmas tree pieces For only $3.99. I thought this would be a cute honestly gift idea for somebody or to store in your home And some tableware this year were these cardinal plates and dishes and they also had a couple of christmas themed pillows I don't know why I didn't film them all I only got this kind of faux fur option and then my cart was traveling down I always love that but stepping into marketplace you guys out of the christmas decor now They did have this great new set of plates Which comes in a cream or a pink and the faux fur pillows also come this really pretty mauve color I'm just going through these quickly at the end There was this little littered basket as well Which I thought was really cute and probably my favorite new item in the entire store were these wicker magazine holders I thought these were great storage solutions for an office space They also had new metal baskets in multiple different sizes This is the larger size here with some wooden handles on each side But also great just for storing extra little bits and bobs This watering can had a really interesting shape to it And lastly they had a couple new crocs and three different sizes These would be great honestly as is or perfect diy bases for any project I just wrapped up over at Ikea. It's literally right behind me. I'm in my car at the moment But I thought I would do a little outro for you guys I hope that you enjoyed today's video and this gives you a little bit more inspired for christmas I myself am still not totally in the christmas mood yet I'm still just trying to embrace fall a little bit longer, but I think by the middle of november I'm gonna start implementing some christmas into my space So I wanted to get this video out for you guys because I know you guys like these Ikea shop with me's And I actually got quite a few stuff which I'm excited to go home in style I got a christmas tree as well because the christmas trees were really cute I love how they're a little bit more on the sparse side this year I got a tree. I got some ornaments some gift wrap and there's really quite a few different styles of christmas decor this year There's like some neutral some kind of woodland style some traditional christmas Pastel style christmas. So there's really something for everybody and I hope that you guys loved this video So give it a thumbs up if you did leave a comment below letting me know what your favorite item was that you saw in today's video And I will catch you guys in my next Ikea shop with me and on the channel for my next video Which is gonna be a very very exciting makeover. I'll see you in the next one. Bye guys

Income tax 2021, 2022 tax software dividend income. Get ready to get refunds to the max diving into income tax 2021, 2022. Here we are in our LASERT tax software. You don't need the LASERT tax software or any software to follow along, but you might want to have access to the Form 1040, which you can find on the IRS website, irs.gov, irs.gov. The software helping us to run different scenarios, putting the data input in and jumping on over to the forms, including the Form 1040, to see the results. Our starting point's gonna be single file or Adam Smith living in Beverly Hills, 90210. Wages at the 100,000, starting point, round number. We've got the 12,550 at the standard deduction, giving us the taxable income, 87,450. I can mirror this in our Excel worksheet, 100,000. We got the standard deduction, 12,550. We've got the taxable income, 87,450. Relying then on the software to calculate the tax, which is gonna be a key component here, as we think about the different calculations for the dividends, the 15,15. I'm gonna put that back on over here, 15,15. That's gonna be our starting point. I'm gonna go back on over and say, okay, let's go to the first page. We're talking about dividends now. So typically from your financial institution, for most people, the standard thing you're gonna get is the 1099 div, which might not look exactly like this, but it'll typically have the same, it will have the same box as if it's a 1099 div. Usually we're looking at box 1A and 1B as the primary two that will be considering box 1A, basically being like the total dividends, and box 1B being of the dividends in box 1A, the ones that are gonna be at a favorable rate because they're gonna be qualified dividends. And that usually means they're kind of, they're US corporations or something like that generally. But so let's go back on over and say, okay, well, let's enter that into the system here and see what happens. I'm gonna put this into the dividends. So we're gonna say we've got some income, income line items for the dividends. And I'm just gonna call it corp one or is financial institution one, for example, ordinary dividends, let's just start it off at 1,000. And let's see what would happen if I don't say they're qualified. All 1,000 and none of them are qualified. Therefore, there would be something in box 1A, 1,000, nothing in 1B in that instance. So I'd go back on over and say, okay, what happens? I could double check this and say, now I've got the 1,000 here, we don't have a schedule B popping up because the threshold has not been hit in order to include the schedule B at this point, nothing in the qualified dividends and my income goes up by the 1,000 to 101. I can mirror that over here in my worksheet and I could say, okay, let's go to the schedule B and let's have our dividends and we had the 1,000. And here I could try to indicate whether they're qualified or not or maybe I don't on my worksheet because that's gonna be something that will change the tax calculation which I'll be dependent on the software for. So there's the 1,000 pulls over to page one, 101. We still got the 12,550. That gives us the taxable income at the 88,450. 88,450, bottom line ties out to the tax here. I'm gonna depend on the software to calculate now the 15,255, 1515, 255 is the tax. Now that calculation should basically be the same as if I had any other kind of income or ordinary income. In other words, I should get the same tax calculation if I took that 1,000 and put it up in the wages. Let's try it out. Let's say what would happen if I took this 1,000 out here and I just put it up top and said my wages were up by 11,000 and that's not right, 101,000.  I'm still at the 101,000 but just a different type of income. And we're gonna go down, we're at the 88,450 and the tax is still at the 15,255, the 15,255. Let's change that up again. Let's go back on over and say, okay, let's bring this back down to the 100,000 and then let's go back to our dividends, dividends and now let's put the 1,000 here but say they're all qualified now. All the dividends are qualified. So now that would mean that we would see this in box 1A and 1B and so I'm gonna go back on over. What's the difference? Well, if I go back to the forms and I go to page one now we see that we've got the 1,000 still here but also the whole amount is also in the 3A. That doesn't mean that we got 2,000 of dividends. That means of the dividends we got all of them are qualified. So that's gonna have a tax implication. Notice that there's no difference over here. I'm still at the 101 here. I've got the 12,550, no change there, the 88,450. So the bottom line here is the same, 88,450. I'm gonna put this 15,255 on the side but the tax calculation should be different. So if I go to my page two, 15,165. So 15,165. So how did that happen? What was the benefit that took place? It took place because when they applied the tax they used the different tables, a different whole different progressive tax system to apply it out and we saw the tables looking something like this. And that's kinda how I would explain it to the clients. Like if you were talking to someone about it you could kinda demonstrate it in that way and understand it in your mind basically and that way by running those two different scenarios and say what if I had different kind of income and you could see the tax would be calculated differently because that's where the change is taking place even though the taxable income is the same because now you're applying something other than just one progressive tax system. You got the separate tax system for the benefit of the dividends. Now if I go back on over you could imagine different variants of that. So if I go back on over here and I said okay what if I had total dividends of this and then of that amount 300 were qualified that would mean that you would have box one A with the 1,301B and then I could go back on over and say okay there's the 100,000. We've got the 1,000 dividends of the 1,300 were qualified that are gonna be at a favorable rate. We still have the 101 so the taxable income down below hasn't changed the 88,450, 88,450 same as we had in our worksheet but now the tax calculations are gonna differ again and it's at the 15,228, 15,228. So again you got a difference in the calculation due to the qualified dividends and the different rates with them. Now if you go back on over you could have multiple corporations of course multiple 1099 divs so this would be corp two or financial institution two and let's say this one was 2,000 and let's say they're all qualified. If I go back on over you're gonna go okay now we've got two and so there we have it here and we also have the schedule B that has now popped up because we have a significant amount of dollar amount so if I go back on over I could say okay now this is the same schedule we reported the interest if it was over a certain dollar amount so interest and dividends kind of like your investment income you could think about it as the 1,000 and the 2,000 adding up to the 3,000 that's pulling over to page one that is right here and then the qualified portion on the left hand side so now you've got your 3,000 being added the 103 the 103 you can imagine doing this in our worksheet over here where we had the schedule B the 1,000 and the 2,000 and you could then make a breakout if you're qualified or non-qualified if you wanted to add more detail that adds it to 3,000 adds it into our top line and the income line item we still have the 12,550 standard deduction taxable income 90,450 90,450 is right here page two calculating the tax the 15,528 so we got the 15,528 so we can imagine that situation and then we could have the other kind of items that you could see on this form so for example if there's something in the total capital gain distribution let's just take a look at that for example that's in 2A so if I go back on over this isn't really a dividend but you might see it on the dividend form that's why you might take it into consideration here let's clear everything out and just record that so we can see it in and of itself let's say this was a capital gain distribution of 1,000 for example you're gonna say okay I see where to put that in on the tax software this is where the tax software can be helpful you can also see it down here which gives you the line by line instructions to a total capital gain distribution and then you could go do some hunting on where they put it you're gonna say they didn't put it in the dividends it didn't go into the dividend income because it's not dividend income instead it went into the capital gain or loss and they put it on the schedule D so if I was to open up the schedule D if it was large enough to be applicable to the schedule D then we've got the 1,000 down here on the capital gain distributions so when I'm trying to check that off on like my worksheet if I have a long complicated return then I'm also gonna be wanting I'm gonna have to wanna be able to sort that out in my mind so I'd add another schedule for the schedule D and I'd add that in and I could have other stock sales and whatnot which would be on typically the schedule D and flow it on over to the first page of the 1040 so note your data input should the software will help you with the data input but then you wanna kind of double check because the software isn't there's no double entry accounting system making sure that you don't make an error by inputting just data input the wrong number so that's why it's helpful to do it double check it in like a software example and also then you can see what's really happening when you do some of this data input which you might not have so clear in your mind you got a similar scenario with a lot of these other ones the 1250 gain that comes up from time to time which would be on 2B you could see here so you could take your software and say all right there's the unrecap 1250 gain and then you can hopefully the software can help you out and you can kind of back into the rationale as to what is happening through the instructions on the form 1099 div and the tax software and so on and again you can have some other of these items here that you could have the withholding that could be involved obviously that would be on the on the bottom of the tax return and so on so that's gonna be the general idea with the the dividends it's usually a straightforward data input but you could have some questions in terms of how to explain it and what's the impact in terms of taxes and so on which can get kind of tricky and you could kind of back into some of those answers oftentimes with the help of the software and the instructions

Almost every member was present, and everyone contributed to a lively discussion about goals, priorities, and future board agendas. The SPCE is in the process of restructuring and revitalizing their subcommittees, making them more relevant and reflective of what they're actually trying to achieve.

The SPCE will be inviting a guest to speak at most board meetings, and all committee reports will be submitted in writing, making that information more available.

Here to speak with us today about this new program is our Vice President of Membership and Marketing, Marsha Hart. Hi Marsha, thanks for being here today. Hi Abby, thanks so much for having me. It's a joy to be here. Sure. Can you tell us a little bit about Capitalizing on Connections, this new program? Absolutely. Well, as you know, we've had a very large influx of new members, and the members that we currently have have been with us for quite some time, both of which want to really become engaged in what we are doing, and they really want to optimize their member benefits. Capitalizing on Connections is another way we can show real value to our members. With a program like Capitalizing on Connections, we can use the resources that we have within our membership to not only showcase who they are, but take the value that they bring to the table and share it with all the members at large. And they're going to really augment their own business by doing so. Great. What are some of the topics that you'll be discussing? Yeah, so great topics actually, everyone can benefit from the business aspect of the topics that we're about to talk about. So we have themes like marketing, SWOT analysis, what do you do? What are the best practices for optimizing your business in terms of marketing? And then we have some executive coaching techniques where it can really enhance yourself professionally and individually. And then we're going to talk about the different ways that you can access the staff. You're going to hear from our own Chris Hall, who will talk about the resources that you have within our chamber office. And then we're going to talk about selling techniques, the best way to use all of those business cards that you collected at the night before at the event, the BA5s and what not, where you can really take the business cards back with you and really think about how you're going to use them with a good strategy. Well it sounds like that program will really benefit a lot of our members. Absolutely, we have some great presenters in mind. Paula Mahoney, Words at Work, Mandy Shoemaker is going to be one of our presenters and our own Chris Hall again. Oh great, and they're going to be starting soon?
