The following is a presentation of TFNN. The morning markets kickoff with your host, Tommy O'Brien. Good morning, everybody. I'm Tommy O'Brien, coming to you live from TFNN just after 9 a.m. Eastern time, Eastern time. I've been on European time for some time, but adjusting back feels great to be back in the chair. Monday morning, we got a big week ahead of us, and we got the S&P futures slightly in negative territory. Boy, I've been gone about a week and a half, had an absolutely outstanding trip in Europe. I'll talk a little bit about that in a moment. You talk about a market man relentless to the upside crude, pushing here $95 this morning. Higher crude prices. I appreciate my man Jacob filling in for me while I was gone. Teddy cakes that, filling in as well. Feels great to be back in the chair.  I'm energized, ready for this market, and we got a big week, man. We got a Fed week. Back in time for Fed week. We got the Fed. We got the Bank of England. We got the Bank of Japan. It's all come and do. This week, let's jump into the markets right now. You get the S&Ps kicking things off down about five points. We zoom in on the smaller term action and quite a sell-off on Friday, right? I was watching these markets. We had some travel over. I got back here on Friday, and I'll walk it through, but always keep my eye on the markets and always entertained in terms of what was going on. Boy, you talk about an exciting market on many fronts, whether you're talking about the markets. We're pushing 4500 right now, man. That is quite a price tag when you look at where the dollar is, when you look at where crude is, when you look at where rates are, right? What do we get the tenure at right now? 4.35%. The yield on the tenure right now, we get the price of crude sitting comfortably at $92. Even this morning, check it out. It's not stopping, man. $92, we just got a handle on crude. You back this up for the last 20 days. Excuse me, $77 was the price tag on about August 24th. So one-way trip to higher prices. And now we're talking about triple digits is the talk of crude. But markets this morning, S&Ps sitting with a little bit of a sell-off on Friday. We have the auto workers' strike going on. We're going to talk about that. We have a Federal Reserve meeting that begins tomorrow, a rate decision expected on Wednesday. We're going to talk about that. You got crude prices at $95. You get the gold contract trading at $19.45 this morning, basically flat, and we jump over to the dollar index this morning. The dollar index sitting at about $105.32. You talk about the dollar, right? Back it up to August, we had a $102 handle. We're sitting at a $105 handle since the extension on Friday. You put that on the daily. And yeah, we're pushing the highs of March on the dollar. You have dollar strength.  And you're talking about higher yield across the board. Very interesting. When you come into a Fed decision, all expectations are that they'll hold where they are right now. That shouldn't be too surprising, considering what they've put out there for their messaging. But things getting a little complicated. As you have crude prices trading higher, that's going to put quite a complication into the narrative of inflation. We've all been dealing with the core inflation numbers as numbers have been easing on the headline numbers for inflation. But that's not going to be the case anymore, because you take a look at the crude contract on a longer term basis. We've been talking about it on this program, man. You're backing it up to basically pushing the highs of last November. And let's back it up even a little bit further than that. Because, man, it was getting talked about. A lot of the focus was all on the core numbers. Rightfully so. When you're talking about the Fed, we had the war in Ukraine going on. You had the sell-off on crude, helping things immensely. But boy, we're facing some problems here, man. You're going to start dealing with some comps that are lofty levels when you start coming into October. I mean, check it out, man. You started October Prices on Crude, folks, at $80. We're pushing $92 right now. Yeah, you chopped around between $80 and $90. But boy, when you start getting into November, you're going to have energy comps in November. November, the next Fed meeting after the one coming up this week, you're going to have to start having headline inflation numbers that are going to be pushed higher from the energy spectrum. And that has not happened, folks. Basically, since June of 2022, this market's been trading lower. It traded from June of 2022, all the way until June of 2023. And for the last few months or so, we've pushed higher from $67 to now $92 on a percentage basis, folks. What are you talking about, man? You're talking about what? $25 on that price tag, almost a 30 to 40% rise in the price of crude over a period of three months. So it's going to get exciting to say the least. But guess what? We're going to kick the program off with a little bit of photography from my awesome vacation. So I had the privilege of attending my best friend's wedding out in Mallorca, Spain. Beautiful island, never been there before. Absolutely amazing. Stated a beautiful villa with him as the best man in his wedding. Absolutely privileged. My best friend, his beautiful wife, Patricia, their beautiful daughter, Alicia. Absolutely amazing time. And let's jump through a couple of pictures, man. So we'll start it off, right? With, where are we going to kick things off? Yeah, we'll kick it off with this picture. This was the beginning of the vacation, folks. Tommy, we're sitting at Tampa Airport. Week and a half ago almost, he's got his Lightning McQueen backpack. We're all stocked up. Unfortunately, it was just us, the mom, the other kids. It was tough to make it for a week and a half with all of us. So it was just Tommy and I. Good to feel be back home with everybody right now. But that's the beginning of the journey, okay? And it was quite a journey, man, heading over there. You jump over to the airplane trip, all right? There it is, Tommy. He's kicking back, he's relaxing. I'm gonna show you some of the purchases, man. If you're out there and you're traveling with a young child, folks, it's always an adventure. Tommy did outstanding. So we had a nine-hour flight from Miami, is where we flew out of. Flew from Miami to Zurich, about a nine-hour flight. Miami, the best international airline. For what we were doing, most of the time, you'd maybe go through Madrid, Spain, if you're going there. We flew Swiss Air over to Zurich. Tommy, he's kicking back. We had a nice little recliner on the plane, going out there. We make it to Mallorca. Some of the beautiful shots out there. Boy, you talk about beauty on this island, folks, in a big way. Let me find that one up there. Absolutely amazing cliffs in terms of what we're dealing with. Coming from Florida, just beauty across the board there in terms of the cliffs that we're dealing with. You jump over to the actual wedding itself. Yeah, a tan suit wedding. Tommy, he was dressed in his finest. He's got a nice little vest there. We're out there on the beautiful island of Mallorca. And it wouldn't be a beautiful island in Mallorca if we didn't have our tiger growling out there. Tommy and I, keeping those growls going, jumping around, pulling up all these pictures here. Yeah, this little happy man. Just great pictures, happy to share with everybody while I was gone. Tommy, enjoying getting dressed up. This is probably the most dressed up he's got.  You jump over to some of the beach shots. I mean, just absolutely beautiful scenery out here. Coming from Florida, especially where we're just all flat, beautiful mountains, beautiful forest, beautiful ocean out of us. He's out there enjoying his puffs, hanging out with his apple juice as well. The beautiful couple, a shot as we jump around. As I mentioned, my best friend Jay, his beautiful wife, Patricia, absolutely amazing spot in terms of where they got married. Very happy for those two and their beautiful daughter, Alicia as well. And then what happened was, is that flying back, what did happen is that, so we fly back Mallorca to Zurich. Yes, Mallorca to Zurich on, excuse me, Thursday morning. Plan was to be back here Thursday night and actually do the show Friday. Thursday morning, we show up to Mallorca airport at about six in the morning, flight delayed. Well, we got stuck in Zurich, long story short, for one extra night. There's beautiful Zurich right by the airport. Tommy and I chilling, hanging out, enjoying a cocktail. But guess what folks, we're back. We're talking markets. We'll be back in five minutes. We dig into it. It feels great to be back in the chair. Thanks for joining us. Stay tuned folks. We get a lot to talk about. I'll be right back. If you're looking for potential trading setups in the stock market, then Rocket Equities and Options Report is a newsletter you should try.

We've got the S&Ps off about three points right now, and that is at 100. You're off by about 30. You've got the Dow and the Russell, both in positive territory by a few points. Just finishing up that conversation real quick. Gone for a week and a half. Just giving you a quick update. Amazing experience as I talked about. If you're unfamiliar with Mayor, Mallorca is in the world. I was unfamiliar until taking this journey. So you back things up, of course. We're in beautiful Florida. You got to fly all the way across the Atlantic. You're talking about Spain right here, and there is the island of Mallorca, right next to Ibiza. Ibiza gets a lot of love for their clubs and the beautiful summertime excitement they have, but there is Mallorca. So nice island right off of Spain. You fly into Palma, which is the main airport there, and then we were actually staying in Santani, I believe is how you pronounce it, Santani. And that's about a 45-minute drive from the airport in Palma, and you can see, somewhat near the coast there, made it to a couple beautiful beaches and finishing up just a couple quick shots that I didn't get to there. My man, Tommy O'Brien, sitting there. Now, this was what I was so fortunate, I mean, on many fronts there, is that they had the wedding, they rented a beautiful villa out there to host the wedding at, and then I was fortunate with the couple to stay at the villa while we were there and check it out, man. That was our view every morning, waking up, looking over the beautiful ocean, looking over the beautiful pool. You can't get much better than that, right, in a big way. And a couple more pictures I wanted to share. There's a couple. Tommy and I, again, looking over that beautiful coast as well. Tommy with his stars in there as well. And the last one I wanted to get up there, they had a beautiful white party. So a white party the night before the wedding. Kind of like the pre-party for the wedding, right? Everyone's there, traveling. They had a hundred guests there. His beautiful wife, Patricia. She is German.  Tommy, bunch of kids running around, had a great time. Beautiful white party over the pool. The next day was the wedding. Feels great to be back though, as I mentioned. And yeah, a little rest and relaxation, folks. It's important in life. Get you all charged up and ready to get back into the action. And that's where we are right now. And with that in mind, let's kick things off. And where do we kick it off with? $95 crude, man. I was keeping my eye on the price of crude. I tell you, while I was over there, but boy, you talk about relentless. We kicked it off at the beginning of the program. And now the conversation is, we're talking about triple digits. And as I mentioned, to kick off the program, where does this stop, man? You talk about a trend line, right? An ode to our man, Bud Rolfs, the channel master. Folks, I don't gotta put lines on this chart to show you where these channels go. It is a well-defined channel line and you're talking about a pretty tight channel, right? Almost tighter than I just drew it. 45 degrees to the upside, crude pushing $92.  That is quite an acceleration. Now, what I will say here is, and I was talking about this a little bit in the last programs I was doing. I was out of here, I think the last show I did was Tuesday the 5th, okay? So we flew out Wednesday the 6th. We arrived in Mallorca Thursday the 7th and we were planned to stay there for a week until Thursday the 14th. And as I mentioned, we were missed our connection. And boy, this is an adventure too. I gotta do it, why not? So I told you, I show up Thursday morning, September 14th this past Thursday. We got a taxi picking Tommy and I up from the villa in Santani at about 5.45 in the morning. Their time, okay? Which is six hours ahead is what they are. So they're six hours ahead of us. Right now, six hours is the time that they're pushing. So it's 5.45 a.m. in the morning. It was about 23 hours door to door was the travel time, okay? And then we added a day on the way home. So that was a 47 hour journey from our door at the villa in Mallorca until I got to the door home here in Florida. Tommy was a trooper man, two and a half years old.  But so we show up at Mallorca and the flight's delayed and we missed our connection. Sprinted to the airport in Zurich, missed it by five minutes. A devastating moment for a moment knowing that we were basically stuck there for the day. Tommy was struggling a bit like all of us when you're traveling a lot but it ended up being a great deal because I got to see Zurich a bit. And one of those photographs I showed you to pull it up again. Let me find that photo real quick. In Zurich. So this is right near Zurich Airport, okay? And it was so cool. So we all know Zurich, right? Swiss banking. They got plenty of money over in the Swiss banking system. Not in credit at Swiss anymore, but in UBS my best friend Jay actually works for UBS over in Switzerland. So we get stuck in Zurich and he was still over in Mallorca for a few days for like a little mini honeymoon after everyone left the villa. And what was so cool was is that they have a full convention center shopping area, hotels, literally two minutes from the hotel, excuse me, from the airport. So what we were able to do is put Tommy in the stroller. Our bags were already checked through. Thankfully traveling with Tommy, I had stocked up, we had everything we needed and we got to explore. And it was like almost a little mini time square type feel. Stores everywhere, restaurants, an amazing experience. We were stuck there for a day but all things considered, right? A lot worse places you could get stuck than Zurich, Switzerland. For an evening, we got to see it. Make the most of your opportunities folks. That's what I'll say.  It was actually a good thing. Once we got settled, we got to enjoy our night, have a fun time, explore the city, make the most of those opportunities. But what I was mentioning was we were looking at this A to B, CDD possible in this crew prices before I left. So I was only out of here when crew was pushing about, where's September 5th? There it is, 86 bucks, right? And I remember talking about this. The crew had just gone about $17.50, okay? From about 67.50, that would be your A point. You're talking about a B point up here at basically $85 on the dot. The high there is 84.89, okay? So we'll talk about that's a $17.50 A to B leg. You'll pull right back to the 3A2 and check out how you accelerate, right? Above that B point. So you have volume there of about 447,000 contracts. And look at these days. Doesn't quite get to 447, okay? But you have three mammoth accelerations. August 31st, you trade up almost $2.50. The next day, September 1st, you trade up again about $2.50. The next day you get a bar. Within four days, folks, you trade from 81.53 to 87.50. Now, the $17.50 to get to the point here, okay? That would bring you to $95, okay? So that is the projection right now on the crude. It's a nice round number. We got our man Basil Chatman coming up next. We got our man Steve Rhodes. He's done some traveling as well. He is back today. We're all back. We're ready. It's Fed week. We're all back, but $95 is the projection there. A lot of people talking about $100 crude, justifiably with the move that this is in right now. But $95, you put it on that chart. It's an A to B, C to D, straight line move.  From the A point to the B point, a nice 3A to pullback, and then you accelerate higher. So we'll see where we run into on $95. Backing this out a bit. And as I mentioned, let's back it out even a little further than that. On a three-year weekly, okay? You're gonna start running into the highs of last November, which is just almost $94 in November 7th. And then you're talking about basically that same price point on October of 93.64. So that seems like where crude's heading. You're only talking about $1.75 from where we're at right now. Crude's up a buck 15 today. And yeah, it's a brave new world, man. Higher prices at the crude pump. I wonder what Chairman Powell is gonna have to say. When it comes time for the press conference Wednesday at 2.30 p.m. Eastern time, I'm sure he'll have a few questions about the prices of energy going up as we come into the Fed meeting on Wednesday. And then we fast forward to the next meeting in November. All expectations are they probably pause here. That's what they've put out to the market. But boy, you got yields, right? Let's jump to yields real quick. We have the 10-year, 4.35%. How about the two-year, 5.07% on the two-year basis? All right, folks, we're coming back for the open. Stay tuned. We're gonna talk to some auto workers as they are on strike, as we all know. Stay tuned, folks. We'll be right back. The Gold Report. As a precious metal, gold is still king.

We have the S&Ps off about five points right now. NASDAQ 100 off about 39. Dow only indexing the positive right now by about 23 points. You hear my voice getting over it a little bit still. You traveled for 48 hours, man. It wears on you for sure, especially when you're traveling with a two-year-old. But Tommy, he made it easy, folks, I tell you. And so on the way there, mixing in some of the last week and a half with the market, we're gonna be talking about the auto workers in just one second. But on the way there, we took off at about 7.30 at night. We're talking about a week and a half ago. And so that's the overnight. We show up in Europe in the morning. Tommy slept great for about six hours of the nine-hour flight. Coming back, he's a little anxious in terms of how that would go, how his schedule would adjust. And what's so cool is when you go over to Europe, it's six hours forward. And so that one's a little tough because maybe you're flying the overnight, maybe you don't sleep too well, you show up in the morning, you're exhausted. Coming back, if you can just make it where you stay up long enough, then you almost reset it instantly, I'll tell you. So we left Mallorca at about six in the morning, Thursday, okay? And let's just say we didn't get jet-legged, excuse me, let's say we didn't miss our connection. We left at six in the morning. But remember, that's about midnight Eastern time, okay? Because we're six hours ahead. So for all intents and purposes, when we're flying back to the U.S., we're basically taking off at midnight Eastern time. And by the time we catch our flight in Zurich, land in Miami, we're landing at about 5 p.m. Eastern time, Miami time, the same day, because of the way the time works. But feeling to us, that's almost midnight on Europe time that we're doing it, right? Tommy was a trooper man. He slept for about four hours on the plane and he lasted until 9.30. We had to drive from Miami back, so I landed about 10.30 back at our house, because I had about a three and a half hour drive from Miami after flying all that here. Tommy made it till about 9.30 at night Eastern time, okay? Well, we woke up in Zurich at about eight, seven or eight in the morning Zurich time, which is like waking up at two in the morning East Coast time. So it would have been like if your two-year-old wakes up, I'll do it this way. It would have been like in Zurich, right? If we wake up at eight in the morning and I say to Tommy, I need you to stay up until almost four in the morning, Tommy.  He was a tired man, man, but he did it, interesting. Nonetheless, I may, you know, can't help but be on my mind, man, being away that long. But guess what? As we're gone, quite the story going on the automakers, right? So as usual, the market gets ahead of things, okay? The market was aware that this was coming. September 14th was the deadline.  You got Ford, basically beginning of July, the acceleration really begins to lower prices.  You had Ford pushing about 15, 42. You accelerated, lost about $4.00. That price tag, man, you're talking about almost a 25% haircut for the price of these equities back to where you were in May. But nonetheless, we're trading right now down about 1.4% for Ford. You jump over to GM. You down about half a percent right now. You see the sell-off they had, about a 20% decline from where they were beginning of July, from where you traded to the beginning of September. And we've seen this play out. It's so interesting in terms of how it's gonna happen. Nobody knows what's gonna happen here. But you add in the amount of strikes we're getting. You add in the compensation when you see UPS workers, et cetera, getting quite a pay hike. That's gonna be on the GM front. These car companies have made a lot of money in the last few years, folks. And the whole conversation about CEO pay versus worker pay, it's finally catching up to a certain degree. Now, what's so interesting is how this is gonna play out in terms of their strategy. And I got a couple of articles up here. So first we're gonna talk about the journal article. And we're just gonna touch on these because I could spend the whole week probably talking about a simultaneous strike for all the three big automakers. This has never happened before, okay? Union leaders launched a targeted approach that hits the automakers simultaneously but risks uneven pain for the workers. So it's gonna be interesting to see how strong the line is. Can they hold? Can they hold that line? Easier said than done, man. All right, people got bills. That's the bottom line. And if things seem unfair, that's where cracks can show up. So it's gonna be interesting to see how this plays out, how strong the will is of those workers. And it starts basically right now. So the strike, which targets three assembly plants in three different states is the first time the 88-year-old union has staged simultaneous walkouts at all three automakers, okay? But here's the deal. It's an unusual deployment of a rolling slow burn approach designed to stymie the car company's factory operations as a way to gain leverage for the union. So what they've done here, okay, is that, let me find the line here as I get it, they've started striking at certain plants, okay? Meanwhile, they're not striking everywhere, okay? And let me get the exact quote. There's so much to read in here. I probably should spend a whole program on this at some point. So they have three different plants at three different states. They've threatened walkouts that additional plants could come and with little notice, the longer the negotiations drag on. So it's gonna escalate. As opposed to just being, we're out, everybody's out. They're having a slow burn is how they're going, okay? And this is where you're gonna see some of workers probably be a little bit worried how that's gonna play out. And this is one quote. If you're gonna take out one plant, take us all out. Let us all stand together, right? That is one worker, Brooke Jessie, who works at a Ford assembly plant in Ohio that produces commercial vehicles. We all have to feel the pain. So imagine if you're the employee that is stopping. And meanwhile, other employees are technically on strike but they're still allowing their production plants to run, which means you're still working and you're still getting paid. You're not feeling the pain. Gonna be interesting to see how this plays out with that aspect of this, okay? Now you get back to an article that Bloomberg has this morning talking about how auto execs misread the UAW ahead of the historic strike. Now what's getting talked about a lot this weekend I was hearing is that the number out there already is that the auto workers are talking about giving the employees a 20% plus pay raise. In any other world, folks, that would probably get it done. But this is not like any other world. We are in exceptional times as they say. And I'm not sure if 20% is fair, okay? Because here's the thing. The auto workers, excuse me, are talking about potentially a 40% pay increase over the next four years and a 32 hour work week. Well, the 32 hour work week, that's its own conversation, okay, and that's gonna get people heated on both sides of things. I've said this on the program before. Question everything, okay? Why are we working five days a week and we're off two? Why isn't everybody working four days and off three? Why aren't we working three days and we're off four, right? You accept the norm but it's a good thing to always question the norms, folks, okay, because you know, you see something like this and a lot of people will say, oh, they're being lazy, they just, they don't wanna work. Why, 40 is 40 because that's been the norm forever, right? Monday through Friday you work, you rest Saturday and Sunday, nonetheless. So that's its own conversation. But let's focus just on the 40% number, which you're gonna get a lot of conversation over, okay? 40% pay increase over the next four years. Folks, if you're talking about in the year 2027, you'd get a 40% pay increase. I would argue the prices are probably up 25% already right now, okay?

This program is brought to you by VistaGold, traded on the NYSE American and TSX under the symbol VGZ. Folks, we got the S&Ps chopping around with negative by about three points right now. You get the NASDAQ 100. We'll put it back on a five minute timeframe, catching a little bit of a bid on the open there. We get two flat prices. You get the Dow giving it up a bid. All the markets pretty calm right now ahead of a pretty important week. When you talk about central banks, you're talking about our Fed on Wednesday and you're talking about crude prices just under $92 right now. We jump over to the price of gold. You're sitting flat at $19.46 and you gotta keep your eyes on notes and bonds, a little bit of a recoil from where we were at $109.08. But boy, you're talking about lower price, higher yield coming into that Fed decision and jumping back a bit to some of the conversations about the auto workers here. And some good takes in the den. Excuse me. Talking about whether it was the auto workers that created that 40 hour work week, right? Whether it was Dolly Parton that must pay for her sins working nine to five, we all kid. But it's okay to question the norms folks, you know? I mean, it's, you know, for some reason, anyway, for what it's worth, check out this chart. You're talking about, now, rightfully so. Okay, the labor side of things this article talks about, they've had very little room to negotiate because the car companies have been in trouble for a while. Well, that's not the case anymore, man. They have been making a lot of money to put it lightly. Check out, this is the average hourly auto wage in real wages dropped 30% since 2003, okay? And this is, you look at the private sector in the black here in terms of the average hourly auto wage versus the private sector, a steady incline as is usually the case. And look at where you've gone for these auto workers. You're talking about being at 46 bucks, yeah, well above where the private sector was, okay? But you're at 33 from 46, that's a 30% cut in real wages since 2003 at a time when those companies are now making Boku bucks. Now, I'm gonna give it both sides, okay? Where is it? There it is, article from Bloomberg. This is an old one from last month, okay? UAW demand would add $80 billion to US car maker labor costs, okay? Internal calculations, these are internal calculations, okay? Everybody's got a bias here, talking about raising the cost to $150 an hour. We've seen this play out before, all right? You make bad deals with the union. It goes bad for everybody in terms of the automakers. If you're old enough, folks, and boy, it's wild that I'm getting into the conversation that now I'm old enough, right? But if you're old enough, you remember the stories, right, where they couldn't fire people. They would just pay people to sit in a room and do nothing because of the labor contracts they had with the unions, ended up making it very difficult for those companies to do business. We're facing similar things right now where you have Tesla, non-union, okay? So you're gonna see a difference with union, non-union, bottom line is, these companies are making a lot of money. And back to the number, which is gonna be the 40%, okay? Cause this is gonna get a lot of the headlines. The car companies right now are offering about 21%, I think is the number. The auto workers are looking for 40%, listen, it always goes deeper. The devil is always in the details, okay? I'm sure there are many things at stake beyond the headline hourly wage when you talk about the ability to transfer workers, the ability to close plants, vacation time, sick time, all of that stuff matters, okay? But look at the 40%, and the key is here, and this is always what happens, it's what happened with the UPS contract, okay? The numbers that were talked about are at the end of the contract, basically. As in the 40% number is what they will be making four years into the future, I'm trying to find that again. Here it is, 40% pay increases over the next four years. Folks, I would argue with you that we are probably 25% above for cost of living, where we were about three years ago prior to COVID, okay? So if we're 25% over where we were the last few years, then that means that's only about a 15% increase, and I'm generalizing everything, okay? But that's only a 15% increase over the next four years. Inflation is still raging, and that is saying by the year 2027, because the 25% pay increase right now would just be a catch-up, okay? That would just be a catch-up to what's been going on, the shock of higher prices across the board, whether it's rents, right? Whether it's housing prices, whether it's groceries across the board. And some of that is abating, but we know we're still dealing with numbers, 4% being kind. Maybe we're at a 4% inflation number right now being kind. You start adding in crude prices, pushing $90 to $100. That headline CPI number is gonna get pushed back up, so maybe we're talking four to 5%. You take 15% over the next four years, and what are you talking about? That's maybe a three to three and a half percent pay increase over the next four years. Now, that's a generalization of somewhat cherry-picking some numbers, but that's my interpretation of when you take some of this data, okay?  We are not living in ordinary times, folks. We have quite the cost of living that has increased, and that is over a four-year period pushing 40%, and yeah, so it all matters. And there's two sides of it, because we've seen how it plays out in terms of you can't give unions everything they want, and the unions can't give the companies everything they want. The key is compromise in anything in life, okay? And it's gonna be difficult to get a compromise here when they're so far apart. And these articles talk about it's a gamble, like anything, folks, okay? It's a gamble on the side of the companies, it's a gamble on the side of the workers, because if they really hold out here, and then they have to backtrack and get something to the tune of 20 to 25% that was offered at the beginning, that's gonna set up a precedent for other union members that makes it very difficult to go forward. And here it is, right? If the workers sacrifice for months, throwing their lives and others into disarray, and it does, folks, okay? My mom worked for Verizon, which was a union, is a union company. They're trying to do away with that. But she was on strike at many different portions when the contracts would come up. Fortunately, she was okay. She had some savings. She didn't have young kids at home anymore when those strikes were really going on. But she saw many workers having to make very important decisions for their lives, for their kids' lives, for their families. It becomes difficult. This is not simple. Everybody has their own priorities. So if you do that, and then you have to accept something much closer to what they've been offering, that could serve as just the sort of cautionary tale managers try to use to try and dissuade workers from unionizing in the first place. On the heels of the UPS deal, though, I don't know if this is gonna be a cautionary tale anytime soon. If things drag on, anything is possible. But we are living in interesting times, to put it lightly. So you get all three that are on strike. And as I mentioned, look how things go forward because it's an interesting part of the conversation in terms of not everyone is striking at once on all the plants, even though there are strikes going on it, the major three auto workers all simultaneously for the first time in the 88-year history of the union. Yeah, how about that, right? All right, and so we take a look. Let's see how those car companies are trading. A lot of this priced in, folks. Oh, I say that, look at that. Just like that, Ford, off another percent since I started the conversation. Somebody out there selling, look at this, GM. Markets worried and rightfully so, man. Okay, this is not gonna end anytime soon. They are leaps and bounds away from each other right now, and you get the car companies even selling off this morning with Ford, GM off about two, two and a half percent, pushing the lows of Friday morning as well. All right, see you soon, folks. We've got one more segment, jumping around to some of the fang stocks. Amazon, up by half a percent. The big dog, Apple catches a bid. Check that out, up 1.3%. Microsoft shares flat this morning. Google shares up about half a percent. One more segment, folks. Don't go away, I'll be right back. The gold report. As a precious metal, gold is still king.

Folks, S&Ps off by about three, NASDAQ 100. Has this been the case, strength, right? Quite the pullback on Friday, man, but you got NASDAQ 100 and positive prices. We saw Apple catching a bid right now, that'll do it. Apple pulls back from, look at this volatility, man. Up to 179, you give it up back to 177. We check in on crude, trading at 9147 right now, gold contract at 1946, and we got to check in on notes and bonds right now with the yield on the tenure. What are we talking about right now? Let's pull it up as we talk about. I think we're about 4.35%, let's check it out. Where are we at? 4.34%, the yield on the tenure coming into an important Fed week, and I'm gonna jump to a little bit of IPO action. So Instacart, I've talked about this one before. Man, I was a darling, darling customer for Instacart during the pandemic, shortly after. I had a fiance that was pregnant at the time. We're going through COVID, then we have a small child. Needless to say, time was a commodity that I was willing to pay for. And when you think about how much money you spend on groceries, folks, especially for a family, right? We got a family of five. Boy, we're crushing probably 300 bucks a week. Easy, that's 1200 bucks a month. Easy, okay? And I say easy, 300 bucks, man. Sometimes you have bigger weeks. That is itself, folks, what? About $14,000 a year in groceries. You go through Instacart, you're paying a 10 to 20% premium sometimes, even more. Be careful of this company, okay? Because not often do you have a company that gets valued and they cut their valuation multiple times and then they say, you know what, man, maybe we just gotta go to the public before we gotta cut it again. They're talking about a $9 billion valuation for their share sale on Monday. Well, guess what? There were probably many people like myself that were spending money on this app, Instacart, during the pandemic and beyond, that I haven't used Instacart probably in a year or two, folks, and maybe if really push came to shove, you know, I got the app, I can do it again.  Save $40 off your next order. So that's not bad. You'd be surprised how pricey it is though when you make big orders on Instacart, okay? Now, here's the kicker here. Number one, that was quick, man. Okay, be careful, folks. They were valued at $40 billion at one point, and now they're pushing nine, so be careful. Folks, feels great to be back. We got everybody back. We got our man Basil. We got our man Larry. Steve Rhodes coming up this afternoon. Tom O'Brien today as well. I'll talk to you tomorrow, folks. Have a great Monday.


What's up guys and welcome back to the John and Q channel. Thanks so much for watching. Imagine you wake up one day and your friend texts you, hey, I have an idea.  Oh, and the kicker is you'll be in the driver's seat and I'm going to shoot the driver's side window. And you say, yeah, that's a great idea. Let's do it. Well, that's what happens in this video.  And I also have to point out the guy in the driver's seat is not wearing any kind of body armor, any kind of helmet, no protection, no gloves. He got some jeans, a polo and a walkie talkie. And he said, shoot me. All right, I'm going to shout with the 50 cal. Do it. I'm ready. Shoot it. That's wild. I really hope they had fire and rescue on standby and everything that they needed to hopefully revive this. Actually, no, they can't revive because if you got shot, that guy would have been blown to freaking smithereens. Like you can't piece together. I mean, no, you would get blown away. You would literally get blown away if you got shot by a 50 cal. So maybe that's why I didn't have protection. Maybe that's, he was so chill about it thinking, if I'm going to get hit, I'm going to die. And I mean, there's nothing you can do. So might as well try to look stylish, have a walkie talkie and make a TikTok. This reminds me of that video I saw a few years ago where a guy was literally standing behind his armor and he got shot at point blank range. And he was testing his body armor. The homeboy gets shot point blank with a pistol and he turns out fine. Like he doesn't get hit. He doesn't get hurt. No bleeding. No punch. Nothing like that. The armor works. Same thing with this idea in this video and the armor and the glass. If you got a truck, you can definitely trick it out with this armor and this glass and it'll be pretty much bullet proof. Pretty wild. Just so you guys know, this is not a sponsored video. It's not on my truck. They didn't reach out to me. I'm just making it to react because this is pretty crazy. Today is the day where I'm going to try to shoot my friend. Get in your truck. I'm going to shoot a 50 cal at you and hope for the best.  What did I just do? This actually worked. And he's thinking, thank God for another day. I get to live one more day and not die in this truck. Can we also talk about how the man in the driver's seat was not chill on like super chill? I feel like this guy has done this before. He was too chill for this.  And no, but this man was so chill. It was like he was at the Taco Bell drive-thru waiting for a cheesy Gordy to crunch.  And he's like, hey, can I get some nacho fries? I mean, you got to give it to him. The guy is super calm and collected for just potentially getting shot with the 50 cal. The guy over the radio says, clear as in like, yeah, it worked. We did it.  I feel like they've done this before. I just, I have to think that they've done this before. They were just all really cool about it. I mean, it's, it's crazy, right? The crew didn't flinch. The people behind the camera were like, yeah, cool. I mean, it stopped it. We know it was going to do it. And of course the driver goes, perfect. Yeah. Perfect. Brother, we did it. Brother, so good. Perfect. Pretty, pretty wild, man. Pretty wild. You gotta admit that's some pretty creative, pretty awesome marketing. Like if you want to literally stand behind your product or stand in your product or beside your product, this is one way to do it. So to you guys, congratulations on shooting your truck and making it pretty much bulletproof, like 50 cal. Yeah, that's a big boy right there. And at the end there, they all paused for a brief second and we're like, this actually happened. And then they all applauded and cheered and were like, yeah, we didn't kill them.  That's so great. I love it. Now it doesn't make me want to go get my truck tricked out and bulletproof, especially up against a 50 cal. I'm all for it. Guys, thanks so much for watching. Let me know down below what I should react to next. And I will catch you guys in the next Johnny Q video. Peace.


Hi friends, welcome back to my channel and a very special welcome. If you're new here, my name is Jen. I'm a certified weight loss and nutrition coach and it's Saturday. So it's grocery haul day and we have a massive grocery haul. I did a Sam's Club run and hit up my local Kroger store. So if you're excited, give this video a big thumbs up, subscribe if you're not, turn your bell on because we do a grocery haul every Saturday. Don't forget to check out the description box down below for nutrition coaching, where I offer personalized to you macros and calories. Highly recommend this is how I've lost 140 pounds and maintain that weight loss as well as one-on-one coaching. If you would like to chat with me directly and for accountability, leaks, discounts to my favorite things. And of course, we'd love to have you come join our Facebook group. So let's head into the kitchen for this massive grocery haul. So the first part of my big haul is from Sam's Club. What you don't see is a case of water and a case of Gatorade Zero. But let me show you everything else that I picked up. So I bought not one, not two, but three two packs of the members mark birthday caked whipped cream. This is my favorite whipped cream in the world and it is being discontinued. They only had, I would say maybe 20 two packs left. So if it's something you like as well, definitely get to Sam's Club soon because it is going away. It was a limited edition product. And then I restocked our already peeled, hard boiled eggs. This is just really convenient. They come in these little packages, great snacks, great on the go lunch. I also bought another bag of the just bear chicken strips because I was completely out. These are my very favorite. I actually like the strips better than the nugget. This was new to me. This is from the brand Amy Loose. This is a nice clean ingredient brand. These are chicken burgers with American cheese, bacon and caramelized onions. 18 grams of protein per burger and they're a nice fresh chicken burger. I think I'm going to store mine in the freezer but I thought this would make a really easy high protein lunch or dinner. This was new for summer. Just kind of a fun limited edition Dorito. It's a collab between Tangy Pickle and Cool Ranch. I thought that that sounded really good. So I thought that I would grab those. Picked up some Lysol. Well, this is the only brand that they had the family guard, which is basically Lysol. So I picked a three pack up of that. And then also some more disinfecting wipes. I got myself some razors. These were on sale for $11 for 16 razors. That's a really, really, really good deal. And I've been obsessed with the Tree Hut shave oil. It's my favorite thing in the whole world. I'll pop a picture up here for you and I'll link it down below. It is the best shaving oil in the world. It leaves your legs so silky soft, no bumps, nothing. I love it so much. So I got some razors for that. Cheese slices for Troy. This is his all time favorite cheese. Palmer, can you just wait a couple of minutes till we're done with the grocery haul for our friends? Okay, couple of minutes. Couple of minutes now? You wait a couple of minutes, Mila? Besides potatoes, because I found a smashed potato recipe that I am dying to try. So I bought some potatoes.  Make sure you're subscribed and your bell's on. I also bought some more pre-cooked bacon. We love this, no mess.  I don't care if it's on the pan, on the stove top, in the oven, in the air fryer, it's messy, I hate it. So I love getting pre-cooked bacon. And this is only $12, so that's an amazing price for 72 slices. I also bought some more Canadian bacon. We love this for breakfast sandwiches. Such a low calorie way to get in protein. And then I got a Caesar salad kit. I don't know, it just sounded good. I told you guys that I'm on this big salad kick lately. So I grabbed that, this is only $3. So I thought that we could have that for lunch or dinner. I picked up some more tuna fish. That's another thing I've really been liking lately. It's again, a really good way to get in protein. I needed a restock of protein shakes. That's the main reason I went to Sam's Club. So I picked up a case of Fairlife chocolate. And I picked up a case of Premier Carmel. Turkey pastrami, that is my favorite lunch meat from Sam's Club. I love it so, so, so much. It's uncured, which is what I prefer in my lunch meat.  I haven't been able to find this for a while. I love this. This is the dark chocolate coated strawberries. You can actually have an entire serving a quarter cup for 150 calories. Nice clean ingredients, such a great sweet treat. I also bought some vital proteins, collagen peptides because these were on sale and I just haven't been able to order my collagen for her. I prefer collagen for her, but this was a better deal at the moment. So I picked that up.  So I grabbed a two pad. And here's the rest of my haul for the week from my local Kroger store. I have found some amazing deals. I'm excited to share what I picked up with you. So I went ahead and restocked Troy's cereal. I actually had a couple of coupons from Kroger. So I picked up a big box of the Fiber One honey flakes and then two boxes of the Kashi toasted berry crisp. These are his all-time favorite go-to cereals. And then I grabbed a package of hamburger buns because we want to do sloppy joes this week. And I am making a chicken teriyaki burger in my meal prep. So I wanted to make sure that I had enough buns for both recipes. And then we were almost out of bread for Troy. So they didn't have much of a selection, honestly. I think the bread guy was on his way to restock. So I ended up getting the Sarah Lee white bread. That'll be easy for him to have for the week. And then I needed some low carb tortillas for a recipe. I'm going to make his pasta salad, the one that I've shared here on my channel. I actually have it on my website. It's under Troy's pasta salad. It is the best pasta salad for summer. You can make it WWE friendly, but it's typically not. It's a little bit higher calorie, but it's really good. And he has been wanting that. So I picked up some elbow macaroni for that. Some canned goods. I needed some sliced olives for his macaroni salad. Some pineapple rings for my recipe, for a dinner recipe. I needed a can of black beans for a recipe and I had a coupon for, I think 70 cents off two cans and they were only a dollar, 25 a piece. So I went ahead and just grabbed two cans of black beans. We were almost out of sour cream and this is something you guys know we just always have in our house. I was on the hunt for the Jimmy Dean turkey sausage crumbles for my breakfast meal prep. They didn't have them. So I grabbed the sausage patties. I'm just gonna chop these up because I'm making a really good sausage based breakfast. And then I needed some diced ham for Troy's pasta salad. I grabbed some light orange juice because I have some really yummy recipes from Clean Simple Eats to share with you. I'm so excited for these. I'm going to make them both, film them both and I'll share them in a future video but I needed orange juice for that. And then I saw that they had their no sugar lemonade for 250, it was on clearance. So I grabbed it, I've never tried it but I've actually been really wanting lemonade. So this came at a perfect time. I needed teriyaki sauce for my meal prep and then I've been on a big tuna fish kick for the protein. So I liked sweet relish in my tuna and I was out. So I picked up another jar. I decided to grab us some sugar cookies. These were $2.50. They were in the clearance bakery section and Troy loves sugar cookies. So I thought that would be a nice treat this week.  We just needed shredded cheese for the week. A couple gallons of 1% milk of course for Troy for his cereal. And I also grabbed a case of Diet Coke. And then everything else is produce. So their cherries right now with the digital coupon are only 99 cents a pound. So this whole bag was $2.50. That is an amazing, amazing, amazing deal. So I grabbed a big bag of cherries and then we've been out of many cucumbers for a couple of weeks. You guys know this is a go-to for us. And then I wanted some salad mix and I got this for $1.92. So I thought that was a really, really good deal. Normally about $6. I wanna have a salad for lunch today. So this will come in perfect timing. And then their little raspberry packs are $2.79 right now. So I picked up two of those, some frozen corn for a recipe and last but not least a couple of Roma tomatoes. So that is my massive grocery haul from Sam's Club in Kroger. Let's jump into what's on my menu for dinners and for meal prep for the week. So here's what is on my menu for the week. So today, Saturday is out for dinner. Tori and I are actually going to a Jeep show tonight. Tomorrow I'm doing pesto penne pasta. Monday I'm doing teriyaki burgers with pineapple.  Tuesday, Wednesday leftovers, Thursday's sloppy joes and Friday is leftovers as well. And then here's what will be in Monday's meal prep. I'm super excited for this. Breakfast is sausage, egg muffins, lunch is a Southwest chicken wraps, which sounds amazing. And then for dessert, I'm making strawberry white chocolate cookies. So stay tuned for Monday's meal prep for all three recipes. Thank you for joining me for another massive, massive weekly grocery haul. I hope you enjoyed seeing everything that I picked up for the week.

What's up players? What's going on ladies and gentlemen? Dan Whitmer from ZenDude Fitness and today we are going to answer one of the most asked questions in our community which is how do you get the ZenDude body and more specifically how to get this body simply by jumping rope. As many of you guys will notice our fitness channel is unlike many other fitness channels in that we're guys but we don't really promote this huge muscular physique. We focus more on speed, agility, mobility, fun and freedom. Okay so we want to look lean, we want to look good in a suit also nice and lean and fast. Let's say for example if you're doing some kind of fight, if you're a dancer, if you're a boxer or something like that, a soccer player that's the kind of physique that we promote here. That is why we chose the jump rope because it's by far one of the best tools that you can use for getting that lean and fit ZenDude body in less time. So as we've discussed in previous videos Brandon and I used to be bigger frame guys who have always had a lot of muscle mass and we just needed in order to get this ZenDude physique that's very lean we needed to just lose a large amount of body fat and the jump rope is absolutely one of the best tools out there for doing so. Jumping rope is a calorie cooker. It has been researched that if you jump rope for 10 minutes that's the equivalence of doing 30 minutes of jogging and not only that that's not even taking into consideration the fact that you might be using a heavier rope which torques all of your muscles and what I mean is works all of your muscles in your upper body and also down into your legs and your calves but everything's being worked.     For example when we're sculpting that lean physique take for example Conor McGregor's physique or Cristiano Ronaldo that we've already done breakdowns on. If you notice those guys have a very lean torso and also bigger cap shoulders that give them that kind of swimmer lean muscular physique look.    Your body is just a science equation getting the jump rope physique getting that zen dude physique getting that super lean and muscular physique that we always talk about is just a matter of understanding where you're at and where you need to go in that science equation. For example if you're someone who is a little bit thinner and you need to build muscle our recommendation of course is to hit the weights a little bit do a lot of push-ups and pull-ups yes you should still be jumping rope to keep that body fat percentage low but you want to be eating in a calorie surplus so you're able to pack on muscle. Now if you're a bigger guy like Brandon and I started out and you already have a decent amount of muscle mass then listen all you need to do is lose that body fat and what better way to do it what a what a better more enjoyable way to do it than to jump rope in these high intensity formats like the workouts that you see on this channel also in the free four-week challenge that we have as well that like I said is linked in the description which you should check out. Is building the zen dude physique like Brandon and I have like Bruce Lee had like Cristiano Ronaldo has is that doable yeah of course it is of course it is a lot of me staying here making this video if it wasn't doable getting the zen dude physique getting this lean physique is absolutely doable it just takes a matter of understanding where you're at in the process and what small steps you need to take to get there I've already laid out what those steps are if you have questions please comment below and let us know and also get intense guys on your workouts if you want to create this zen dude physique the body is not just going to change because you're you know you're kind of giving it a little bit of work there's a reason why I have do the thing tattooed on my fingers do the thing get after it get intense leave it all out on the court in the gym in a skate park wherever you might be guys put the work in for 30 minutes bust your own ass and get back to your life Dan Whitmer from zen dude fitness thank you for tuning in to another tutorial we'll see you guys on the next video you guys like this video please go ahead and give us a subscribe followed by a little thumbs up because it really does mean the world to us guys our goal for 2017 is as we have mentioned to travel around the world and see all of you in your country and spread this love that is this growing revolution of jump rope


Item number SCP-4310 Object Class Euclid Special Containment Procedures One instance of SCP-4310 is to be kept within an alligator enclosure with a soil culture that mimics that of Great Britain's temperate forests. Once per week, five live piglets are to be dropped into the enclosure. Well Task Force Lambda-12, past control, is responsible for sightings of SCP-4310. They are to kill specimens found in the wild. The Department of Analytics is to track current British children's literature for books at reference portals to fancy settings and alert Lambda-12 accordingly. Description SCP-4310 is an anomalous species of centipede. Fully grown, its total length, from head to anus, is approximately 6.5 meters. It has a pair of soft, extendable keratin flaps which can enclose its body, save for a portion of its posterior. When these flaps are fully extended, SCP-4310's exposed posterior segment roughly resembles the face of an old man, with movement of its rearmost leg simulating motion of the mouth and jaw. SCP-4310 is native to Great Britain and Ireland. Like most centipedes, it is carnivorous and spends most of its time burrowing underground. When hunting, it cocoons itself in its keratin flaps, extending its head and posterior from the soil, leaving the majority of its body buried. It then arranges its maximila pets and forelegs into a semi-circle, resembling an upright archway. Via an as-of-yet-unknown mechanism, this produces a spatial anomaly which leads directly into its stomach. Once prey enters, the anomaly closes. Paralytic enzymes combined with powerful acids are used to subdue and digest them over a period of several days. After consuming a sufficient quantity of meat, SCP-4310 instances will often burrow and hibernate for periods as long as 10 years. SCP-4310 uses two mechanisms to lure prey into its stomach. The first is the emission of a pheromone that induces mild euphoria, suppresses fear, and encourages curiosity in warm-blooded mammals. The second is a sound that also functions as its mating call. Its tail segment produces a repeating series of recognizable English phrases that resembles a heroic speech, typically describing a quest or prophecy that must be fulfilled by entering the archway. These calls last up to three minutes before repeating. Although each centipede's call is unique, no variation in a single centipede's call has been recorded over its lifetime. It is unclear how SCP-4310 learns to produce these sounds, as no specimen has shown any more intelligence than ordinary centipedes. SCP-4310 was first discovered in 1950 following a Foundation investigation into several disappearances reported in the town of Belfast, Northern Ireland. Agents noted the presence of teeth from several missing parties, and animal livens discovered in a nearby wooded grotto. The ensuing excavation uncovered three hybridating SCP-4310 instances, along with dropping piles containing the bones of over 70 children.


84-63 win for Stevenson over Lebanon Valley, well, all that Sarah Tarbert did tonight was just your casual 39.13 rebound performance. Just a ho-hum night for you here tonight, huh? Yeah, I mean, I was one the first three went in, and then the second three went in. I was really feeling it. And I was just fortunate for my teammates to be able to get me in the ball and get in the open spots. So. How important is that for you? Because obviously you're getting double teamed every time you go inside. How important is it to have four threes tonight, but how important is that to be part of your game to be able to knock those down to sort of loosen up the defense? I think it's really important, not only because they're doubling me on the inside, but the fact that I can hit them on the three, it not only opens me up, but then it opens up the inside for other players like Caitlin Vantash or John Yate of Drive. So it not only helps me score in other ways, but it helps my teammates score too. The other thing, too, is you get so close to 40 points, but then even after that, you don't get there, but then your teammates get in, they get some shots. The reaction that you have, how good does that feel? No one you wanted to get there, but then to see your teammates be able to get on the floor at the end and score some points themselves. I mean, it would have been nice, but it's just one point. It doesn't really matter. But it's awesome to see them go in there and pick up right where we left off. I think it's really important that we're able to get into our bench and that they're able to sustain everything that we do. So kudos to them, and they did a really good job. Now a couple of big games coming up, because you had on the road to face Albright and then back here from Messiah. Yeah. Two of the biggest conference games for us, and we're right there with them. So it's always a battle to the end, so I think we're pretty excited for them. We're just going to call it a 40 point performance. We're going to go back and find a point somewhere to give you. Sarah, congratulations on a big win. Thank you. She's Sarah Tarber, and I'm Glenn Clark for GomezTankSports.com.


at HP Discover 2011 where SiliconANGLE.com is checking out all the news around the web here, but we're live at HP Discover with theCUBE, our flagship telecast where we go to the events, go on the ground, talk to the smartest people, executives, bloggers, thought leaders, whoever has the smartest knowledge that we can extract and share that with you. That's our goal. And we're here with David Scott and Carl Eschenbacher. Welcome to theCUBE. Thank you, John. David Scott, Senior Vice President of the Storage Group, formerly the CEO of 3PAR. Great to be here, John. Thank you. Godfather of thin provisioning, which everyone copied. And Dinah here, what's next? And Carl, you're the co-president recently, part of the promotion of all the new president, co-president role at VMware. That's accurate. Thank you. Welcome. You guys were having a meeting before you came on. Can you tell us what you were talking about?  Plans. Plans. Yes. And you guys know each other. You guys are friends, personal friends. We are. We are. You know, we spend the occasional dinner with each other. So this should be fun. So VMware, honestly, at VMworld, we were at theCUBE there as our first big production that we had kind of continuous multi-day coverage. And Paul laid out his plans for.


Hi, I'm Jerry Mikulski. This is a five-minute university about artificial intelligence and machine learning. I'll look backward and a little look forward Back it's since the earliest computers in the mid 40s People were trying to figure out how to model human thinking seems only reasonable To grossly oversimplify and tell the story this followed two paths Some researchers tried to emulate the logic of reasoning So if you have sniffles and a cough then maybe you have the flu Except when you have the chills. Maybe it's malaria. You can see how this gets pretty complicated Another bunch of researchers tried to emulate the biology the neurochemistry of learning and reasoning and they tried to map how Neurons work where they have inputs. They have some kind of threshold function They then send then trigger or don't trigger firing an input to some other neuron Etc. But in in these webs that turn into a lot of matrix math The first group were known as expert systems developers and the second group became known as neural networks or artificial neural networks The expert systems were interesting because you would sit a knowledge engineer down with a domain expert They would craft a series of explicit rules like if you have a chill This left a nice auto trail when the expert system made a recommendation because you could then figure out which rules have been triggered Neural networks learn from large data sets. You feed them inputs and outputs and then you say well with this input What would the output look like? They're very calculation intensive and occasionally gave amazing results But they couldn't really leave an auto trail. It's not impossible to figure out what a neural network did But it's incredibly difficult compared to expert systems Now in 1969 two big wigs in the field Marvin Minsky and Seymour Papert wrote a book titled Perceptrons Perceptrons nixed research in neural networks for a good 10 to 15 years because they Proved that neural networks were impossible and what they proved actually was that mathematically very thin neural networks Didn't have the mathematical complexity to model things That was true But what they were saying was that this field of study was wrong and they were entirely wrong What happens is a little bit later expert systems get better and start to find mainstream use But all of a sudden neural networks because of a few people still working in the field Found they they could start to architect hidden layers multiple layers into their systems And this became known as something called deep learning depth being the the interesting word here They got they got some boost because instead of just using Computer CPUs they got to use graphic processors GPUs and that added a lot of speed and they got breakthrough performance in some Narrow domains, so if you really applied this intelligence to something specific it got really good out of this We got some variants of neural nets called convolutional neural nets recurrent neural nets and a series of others Because I bear a little bit of a grudge against the expert systems folks I tend to think of artificial intelligence as the expert system stuff the rules based off machine intelligence as the broad category and And machine learning as a category for neural networks Although it could be that machine learning is all the broad category that encompasses everybody, but that makes it a little harder to discriminate This is me in the late 80s at new science associates where I was a research analyst about to go give a presentation Those are acetates that I have my presentation printed on and this is a report I wrote in 1988 titled neural networks prospects for commercial use I have a little bit of history in this field and I loved discovering neural networks and writing about them back in the day So what happens then? Expert systems got better too, but not as much Machine learning started to take off because we started to get gigantic data sets GPUs gave way to TPUs tensor processing units and other special purpose hardware that could do the matrix math and other things much better And we got breakthrough performance in much broader domains.  This is a thrilling sort of era and What I think is happening right now now your mileage may vary on these conclusions But I think a this is real this this moment for neural networks and machine learning is extremely real These things are very powerful. They're very helpful. They're easy to misuse, but when used properly, they're fantastic Machine learning eats tasks not jobs meaning everybody's worried about the replacement of a complete job It's really hard to do somebody's entire job. It's pretty easy to peel off different tasks Three of your six tasks that are important to do get eaten by some sort of technology We're gonna have to redesign your job or let you go or have fewer of you or something like that So it's really important whether we approach these technologies with the intention of augmenting humans or replacing them This is a big philosophical question Unfortunately capitalism pushes us really hard to replace Corporations have been trying to get rid of full-time employees for years and years and years and doing a very good job of it But this is a really important philosophical question, but I think our future is cyborg I think human in the loop really matters and by our future is cyborg I mean a blending of human and machine and I don't mean through prosthetics or some kind of man-machine interface At least not at this point. I just mean through software that you can consider an extension of your capabilities a superpower added Then if you have a sort of a specials touch for spreadsheets or Photoshop or some other piece of software Where you really are no longer thinking about the software or procreate and all of a sudden things come out of you That are that are expressions of what you're thinking you're already well down the path of being a cyborg now This cyborg thing around all the tools that I just described have a growing flourishing ecosystem There are all kinds of interesting variants and power tools and enhancements showing up But we're not getting to sort of general purpose smart intelligence like humans instead Not being this not being like a human is really not a barrier. There's plenty we can do The system is self-improving now in the sense that we can give these systems All sorts of prompts and and help to start solving the gaps in the problems that are showing up in the system Fusion across these systems will happen part of the problem is that you don't want to give a neural network You're accounting your bookkeeping neural networks are not precise They're just a map of neurons that seems to understand its inputs You want something that'll actually always give you four for two plus two But when you start to fuse when you start to fact check the results given to you By machine learning then you could get to some interesting places when you start to connect a series of these things together You start to get higher level reasoning that in many cases could make far better decisions than humans can that's interesting territory So we're heading down the road either toward a utopia or a dystopia depending on how we implement these technologies That they're that powerful Whether we end up in the you or the D really depends on the choices that we make today the choices that you make today Thanks for listening. This is one of several five-minute universities I encourage you to make one too, but in the meantime Be a good cyborg


For a split second, your eyes fall on the face of Marmal Hussain al-Islam.  Knowing full well what's going to happen, the following day. Ashura comes the 10th of Muharram, you wake up, you leave your tent.  Where would you want to serve the most? I think I would ask him what he would want me to be, where he would want me to be. I think I'll be able to serve in any shape or form, in any way. That's what I'll do. If you ask him and he says again it's up to you, he gives you the choice. Are you asking me in those days or like how we are now? No, in those days. For example, would you go and bring water with Abu Fadr al-Abbas? I think the tragedy of Abu Fadr al-Abbas bringing water and him not being able to bring it for the children, is probably one of the hardest things. Especially the fact that I have a son now, two month old son and a daughter who is also two years now. And knowing the fact that there were kids those days, I would have chosen the path of getting water for the Abu Fadr al-Abbas.  You see your wife is frantically running around trying to prepare fruit, food, tea, etc. because you have a guest.  She says to you Hassan, someone's come to see you. You ask who is it? She says, he's waiting for you in the living room.  What would you say to him in that moment? What would you want him to say back to you? I would have said to him, I wish that there were more people there on the day and I wish I was there. And I would have asked him, if I was there, would you have let me go without the al-Abbas? Would you want me to fight? Hassan. Why is the Abu al-Fadr al-Abbas so dirty? The fact that such a warrior like Abu al-Fadr al-Abbas didn't get the chance to go towards the enemies and have the intention of fighting to give the mission of bringing water for the kids and itself is a powerful, powerful message. It needs a powerful person like Abu al-Fadr al-Abbas to not do anything but to go get water for the kids. I mean, he must have been enraged to go and fight the enemies. But obviously, you know, when Imam Hassan orders you to do something, then you're going to have to do it. So, Abu al-Abbas as a person, as a brother to Imam Hassan, he did something that I don't think anyone else would have done because he was literally the last man standing after Imam Hassan, before Imam Hassan. And the fact that he didn't go fight and he was told to get water instead is amazing. So now you spoke with Imam Hassan, you've had a discussion, you've had a talk, etc. It's time for him to leave your house. What would you say to him in farewell? What would you want him to turn and say back to you as he's stepping outside of the door of your house? I would ask him for advice. Advice on what path and who to follow because the Shi'a Ummah right now is not in a good situation. I mean, we have so many scholars pretending to be who they shouldn't be, pretending to say that they know Imam Mahdi. And we have so many of our brothers and sisters following the wrong person. Especially in the West, we have a lot of scholars not doing what they should be doing. So I would like advice because we want to go through the right path and if we're following the wrong people then how are you going to reach our goal, which is entering heaven and meeting the Helvetani. So at the beginning I asked you if you were there 1400 years ago, which area would you want to participate in? Now having hindsight, it might be easy to say I would try to stop this or I would go to the aid of this person or I would try to protect this person from this calamity falling upon their head. But in this day and age we have an Imam also who might not be with us but is present amongst us and in a way he's given us the chance by not being here to volunteer our services in any way we like to him. So what do you think we should do to aid the Imam of our time? How do you think we should help him? Do you think we've done enough to help the Imam of our time? I think doing as much so of making me jealous is not enough nowadays. I'm commemorating the deaths or the birth anniversaries of our Imams, companions or ladies of the universe, say the Fatima or Lady Khadija. It's not enough nowadays. So I think we lack in doing more seminars, multi-faith seminars, conferences. We don't see many of those. I think the word of Imam Hussein isn't out there. I think the negative word is out there but not the positive. Well there is but not as much as I think Imam Mehdi would like. And my opinion, one of the main things is we need more English channels because the media is a big influence in the world right now and the fact that we have 3, 4, 5, a handful of English TV channels, is disappointing and I think we should go through that.


Hey Psych2Goers, and welcome back to another video. Thank you all so much for your love and support that you've given us, enabling us to make yet another exploration into everyday psychology. So let's begin. Do you know what it means to be a highly sensitive person? Well, a highly sensitive person or HSP for short is someone who was born with an innate disposition of processing and understanding information on a much deeper level than most. This makes HSP's more perceptive, self-aware, intuitive, and observant because of their deep thinking and empathetic nature. Are you wondering if you may be an HSP? Here are nine things highly sensitive people do differently. One, experience emotions. You react strongly to the feelings of others or wear your heart on your sleeve and sometimes struggle to keep your powerful emotions in check. HSP's wield the power to feel things more deeply than others. So they also experience emotions differently. What may cause others to shrug in nonchalance might cause you to reel with shock. Your emotions are much more intense, lingering, and sometimes even overwhelming to deal with. Number two, react to situations. Do people wonder why you react so strongly to something that they would simply breeze over? They wonder why you can't take it in stride and just go on about your day. But as an HSP, you lead with your heart and let your emotions guide you through life. Even if it may not be the most rational or logical thing to do, you just can't help it. Your emotional beings through and through. And if something doesn't feel right to you, you can't go through with it. You have such a strong need to be happy and feel at peace that you just have to let out any negative emotions you feel the moment you feel them. Number three, making decisions. Are you apt at deciding things quickly?  HSPs take it to a whole new level. Your affinity for both analytical thinking and intuition aids you in deciding things because you always wanna be sure that you've made the right choice. You weigh your emotions against your logical reasoning and try to find the best course of action to take. You don't enjoy impulsivity or spontaneity because you'd much rather be sure about things than regret your decisions later. Four, process their grief. Being at the back and call of emotions has its downsides. Feeling deeply encompasses both sides of the spectrum. Your joy and sorrow both affect you strongly and so you might be more at risk of developing anxiety and depression. Studies have shown that there is a significant correlation between being a highly sensitive person and having a higher risk for mental illness, especially mood and anxiety disorders. This is because HSPs also have a tendency to let their grief linger in their heads longer than it should and ruminate over things that make them upset, angry or hurt. Five, receive details. Are you extremely detail-oriented? Can you recount minute details with alacrity or do you just remember the general idea? As an HSP, you have a natural talent for remembering and appreciating the finer details most people tend to overlook because you're so self-aware and observant. And it's for this very reason that you might find yourself drawn to creative arts like painting, poetry, music, and theater. Six, perceive people. On a scale of one to 10, how are you at reading people? HSPs are known for being great judges of character. When you're an HSP, you're quick to pick up on the little things like the tone of someone's voice, their choice of words, or their facial cues and understand what it all means. And this is why you're so good at reading people and their intentions. You're usually the first people who'll notice if something is off with someone and you can tell right away if someone is lying or hiding something from you. Seven, listen to others.  For highly sensitive people, active listening just comes naturally. You're so perceptive and so in tune to the emotions of those around you that you're usually the first person your loved ones go to for advice or counsel. When times get tough, your friends can always count on you to be there for them when they want to pour their hearts out. Eight, love deeply. Highly sensitive people are fiercely loyal and devoted, whether it's as friends, family members, or romantic partners. As an HSP, you're thoughtful, caring, and sweet, as well as incredibly trustworthy and true. No one can ever love quite as deeply or as passionately as you, because you just have so much love to give. You are big-hearted and generous with your time, energy, affection, and attention. And nine, hate passionately. Not surprisingly, when you're an HSP, you can hate just as passionately as you can love. You can hold grudges like nobody's business because you're so used to taking everything to heart. Your sensitivity can make you more critical and less forgiving the most, then you're not likely to change your mind about someone who has done something serious to hurt you or someone you love, no matter what their reasons behind such actions might be. We hope we were able to give you a little insight into some of the ways that said HSP is apart from the crowd. Do any of these apply to you? Let us know in the comments below.
