Remember a Hallmark card when you carry enough to send the very best. The Hallmark reading cards bring you new airs in the story of Johnny Appleseed. Adapted from Newell Dwight Hillis' The Quest of John Chapman on the Hallmark Playhouse. Great Hallmark brings you Hollywood's greatest stars in outstanding stories chosen by one of the world's best known authors. The distinguished novelist, Mr. James Hilton. Tonight on our Hallmark Playhouse we tell you one of the warm and winsome legends of America. The story of Johnny Appleseed based on a book called The Quest of John Chapman by Newell Dwight Hillis. This legend, one of the most delightful in the folklore of any country, has all the charm of springtime and early morning, of youth, of hope, of innocence. Happy indeed is the country whose past only a few generations old contains such dreams as this. Happy that is if enough of these dreams survive and are still part of our tradition. I believe they are. To play the part of Johnny Appleseed we have called upon an actor whose ability and integrity are worthy of the part, Lou Ayres. And now a word about Hallmark cards from Frank Goss before we begin the first act of Johnny Appleseed. When you're looking for a way to say something to someone you care for, look for a Hallmark card and you'll find the right words. Because Hallmark cards are designed to say what you want to say, the way you want to say it. And in the good taste you demand of anything that bears your personal signature.  And now Hallmark Playhouse presenting Johnny Appleseed starring Lou Ayres. Springtime, not only of the year 1788, but the springtime of our new nation. Already there was excited talk of opening the west, which meant then the western part of New York and Pennsylvania. It was chiefly the young and the poor who talked and dreamed, like Don Chapman, and the older and richer who held back, like Dorothy Durand's father. Dorothy! Dorothy! Yes, father? I wish to see you at once. She knows of my plan, Mr. Durand, and she approves. And why should she not?  She knows nothing of the world, let alone the wilderness beyond the Allegheny. Mr. Durand. Consider this, sir. In place of a comfortable home, her church, her friends, the society of refined people, what could you offer her? Only a simple cabin in the forest. Hard work, hard winters, wild animals and hostile Indians. And one thing more, father. The most important, his love. Wherever Johnny is, there is my happiness. It is a poor sort of love, Mr. Chapman, that asks so much of a woman. I'm not here to argue that, sir. But I've talked to trappers returning from the west, and they say the soil beyond the mountains is deep and fertile. The summers are longer and the frosts come later. The land waits only for men to tame it and farm it. And to die at the hands of the Indians. Well, that will depend on us, sir. Personally, I believe the Indians will welcome a new kind of white man, a better kind that goes to them without threats, without fear and friendship. Then go, if you will, but you go alone. Father. Mr. Durand. Dorothy, you are my only child, my only living kid. I will not lose you. I cannot consent to your marriage. Father, then I am sorry, sir. We shall marry without it. Will you? You'll forget that the law is with me. Dorothy must obey my wishes until she is of age. Therefore I forbid the marriage, and I further forbid her to see or otherwise communicate with you from this day forward. Good day, Mr. Chapman. I'll hang behind the tree. I don't dare say, dear. I think Father saw me reading your note. I had to say goodbye, Dorothy. John, in another year I'll be of age. I can marry as I wish. If you don't want me. You know I'll always want you. Then I'll be waiting. And I'll be back. The expedition leaves the day after tomorrow. Within two months we should be on the banks of the Ohio. I'll find a good site for the farm, build a cabin, and this time next year your home will be waiting for you. John. Yes? I'm afraid. A whole year and so many dangers. If anything should happen to you. Dorothy, remember when we were children and I used to climb this old tree to get you an apple? You were always so afraid, so sure I was going to fall. But you never did. No. And remember that, whenever you begin to worry. If you should ever doubt my heart, think of the first day I wove these apple blossoms in your hair. And what I whispered. I love you, Dorothy. As long as the spring returns. The flowers bloom, and the trees sing with birds. I shall love you. John. Now I know what I want to do. I want to show you build our home. But, Dorothy. I can't, even though we're far apart. Tomorrow night, John, come back to this spot. You'll find a sack of seeds. I want apple trees on our farm. Trees will grow big for our suns to climb. And with clouds of white blossoms for our daughters. The pan for the west was pitifully small. A dozen young veterans of the revolution. Several hunters in buckskin coats. A few hardy women traveling with their husbands in the slow-moving octagon Conestoga wagons. This was the company which John Chapman joined with all his earthly possessions. A horse, a gun, an axe, a knife, and one bag of apple seeds. And weary days and restless nights around the campfire. And always with unseen eyes watching. The guardians of the forest, both animal and human. Hey, P.K., what are we stopping for? You hear those bird calls in the woods. What about them? They're not birds, my friend. They are Indians. They want to attack us. My guns are better than their arrows if we use them in time. No, Ralph. No, we come in peace. There have been enough Indian wars. I've already talked to their chief. I paid them. There'll be no trouble. You paid them? P.K., how did you pay them? Well, I... I don't see that it matters. I know how you paid them. With guns and rum. Well, was it not a cheap price? For guns and rum, the red skin will sell its soul if the savage has a soul.  You haven't bought peace. You've sold our scalps. P.K. had reason to remember John's words, but that was still in the future. Meanwhile, the caravan lumbered on over the summit of the Alleghenies and finally down to the north bank of the Ohio. There, the party scattered to choose their individual farm sites. Hi, Johnny. Ralph. Oh, it's good to see you. What are you digging there? I'm planting apple seeds. Apple seeds? Mm-hmm. Then after that, tomatoes and vegetables. Didn't realize I had all kinds of seeds in this bag. John, who cares about growing stuff? We can eat our fish and game. We got to get our cabins up. Oh, the planting season's almost over, Ralph. The seeds can't wait, but the cabin can.  Oh, no. Just a man who made a promise. I know the saddle pack is heavy, but we've got a long way to go. John, for the last time, you can't go back over those mountains before May. Well, there'll be still snow on the ground. Oh, get through, Ralph. Anyway, there's nothing to keep me here now. The cabin is up, the garden will be sprouting, and besides by May, I've got to be home. I've got a birthday to celebrate and a girl to marry. I suppose you're not very happy to see me, sir, but a whole year has passed and I... Oh, wrong, my boy. I was angry with you once, but now I'm glad you're here. I prayed you would get back in time. You prayed? Mr. Gerand, I... Please, come in, John. Oh, what's happened? Tell me. Last month, Dorothy came down with a fever. For days, we've expected her to go at any moment. Oh, no. But something has kept her here. Please, I... Going to be all right. You're going to get well. Well, Dorothy, you've got to. You've got to fight for me, for us. For our home. We'll have an orchard of beautiful trees and you'll rest in the shade now. How we blossom is for your hair, just as we used to do. I'm sorry, John. So sorry. Listen to me, Dorothy. Take my hand and let me help you see the wonderful days ahead. There's our cabin, our home, and a wide meadow around it. A river flowing past, the orchard in bloom, apple trees growing big for our suns to climb. Remember how you said that? With clouds of white blossoms for our daughters to wear. Can't you see it, darling? You can stay here with me for as long as you want. Thank you, Mr. Duran, for a few days, perhaps. And then, I'm going back to the West. Oh, yes. Dorothy believed in my dream. She'd never want sorrow to destroy it. But she'll be all alone. Oh, no, sir, never. Dorothy's still with me. She was when I first saw the banks of the Ohio. When I planted her apple seeds and built our cabin. It's still our home. Dorothy is still part of it. And she's part of me. As long as the spring returns, flowers bloom. The trees sing with birds. I love you. And we'll return to the second act of Johnny Appleseed starring Lou Ares. You know, when you stop to think about it, a greeting card is a pretty wonderful thing. For it can carry your very thoughts, your feelings to others, better than you might be able to express them yourself. The unusual fact about a greeting card is that you never buy it for yourself. You always buy it to send to someone else. This is why the makers of Hallmark cards consider the message on every greeting card so very important. They are aware there is no magic like the magic of the right words to reach the heart of others. What power a thoughtful expression of your feeling will have to deepen the affection of those you care for, to heighten their happiness on festive occasions, to comfort them in sorrow, to strengthen ties of friendship, and what power words have to make new friends. And because of the almost endless variety and the great care given to the wording of every card, you will find a Hallmark card that seems to have been written especially for you. The words so accurately and beautifully express your feelings. And every Hallmark card will speak also of your own good taste by its perfection in every detail of color and design and craftsmanship. That's why I'm sure if you were to ask any group of friends what name they think of in greeting cards when they want to send the very best, they will quickly answer Hallmark cards. So it's easy to remember it would be difficult to forget to look for the Hallmark on the back of every card you choose because you care enough to send the best. Now back to James Hilton and the second act of Johnny Appleseed starring Lou Weyers. One heart had stopped beating and with its silence, John Chapman was to return to the West. On the day of his setting out, he chanced to meet a friend of happier times, a man now broken in body and spirit. John, you told that fellow PK what would happen with his guns and rum. It did. Good Lord. The Indians killed everyone in our company except PK. All the cabins burned to the ground, everything gone except your garden. Eating your vegetables was all that kept me alive until the trappers found me. My garden. Tell me, what about the apple trees? Well, I saw some rows of green shoots coming up I guess those were your trees. The redskins didn't bother them. They wanted scalps. Well, Ralph, I'm going back. Where? To the Ohio. The garden's gone. John, pioneer name for us. It's for fools and saints. For those who will come after us? They won't have any more chance than we did. Good farmland, yes. But... I know. But we never got a chance to improve it. But suppose the next settlers find their gardens waiting for them. Fruits and vegetables and apple orchards. But who would do such a thing? I'm going to. John, you wouldn't be crazy enough. Why not? At least your time, your youth. How can you make a living planning for people you'll never see? You've got to think about the future. Ralph, the people I'll never see are the future. I'm not, Your Honor. I was out scouting ahead of the wagons and this fellow came out of the woods leaving two pack horses loaded with sack seeds. Yes, apple seeds. He told me if we'd keep on the trail three days more we'd find our home site where the garden already growing. Johnny Apple seed? Yes, I know who you mean. A friend of mine. Got a letter from him a couple of years back. Still planting seeds out in the wilderness.  Lonely? Who could be lonely in God's great garden? His stars light my nights. His woods are my shelter. His animals my friends. You understand. Don't you, darling? I'm coming down the rate of village. Stop scraping on in the dirt. Run for it. Hold on. Don't we know each other? Of course, you're P.K. All right. It's your scalp not mine. I'm getting out of here. Wait a minute. Look toward the river. The woods. Too late now, P.K., too late. Where do they take you? What do they say? Chief's giving orders to torture us. Bloodthirsty devil's. P.K., give me your medicine kit. Medicine kit? What for? You saw how the Braves had to help the chief off his horses. He's a very sick man. What? I'm a savage. Don't you know that... My friend, the world is too ready to return evil for evil. And the result is only more evil. It's getting worse. The fever has to go up before it will come down. What does it matter?   Much longer to wait. He's unconscious. No. He'll be sleeping. The fever is broken. Make white man present. No.  My friends come in peace. Indians must go in peace. Indian think all white men bad. You not bad. You good. Then friends good. Indian, go back to T.P. Thank you. Hi, P.K. Get on your horse. Don't stop until I reach the Ohio. Don't stop there. The West has no place for you in your rums and guns and cheating. Just keep going. Well, what about you? Are you coming? Later. Later I want to rest. So dizzy. The chief had it. Now it's no medicine. Oh, God, bring into my eyes. Burning me up. We're going to be married. There are thousands and thousands for you. Thousands and thousands for my seeds. Where are my seeds? I'm not done. I've got so much to do. He years passed before John Chapman's feverish mind cleared, but still he planted seeds. In the green glades along the Potomac, along the Susquehanna to the Meadows beside the Monongahela, following the winding Ohio and back down the lovely valley of the Shenandoah and across to the mighty Mississippi. America was his garden, and though some laughed at the shabby-looking fellow who wandered from village to village talking to himself, more so very many more welcomed him into their homes and their hearts. He was no longer John Chapman. He was their uncle Johnny Appleseed. And brought you a new kind of apple, ma'am? Grafted it with the wild apple of the woods. My trees. Are you all right? Can I prune them now? Yes, my time has passed. Bows and orchards link arms together. There are villages and towns and cities. Steam boats on the rivers and well loads are coming. I'm no longer needed. Yet I'm like one of my old apple trees dying at the top, but still sending out one last green shoot from the roots. One more orchard. Father West. In the wilderness. It was indeed Johnny Appleseed's last orchard. Spring had come again and the brave old pioneer was resting against the trunk of one of his beloved apple trees. Oh, just thinking, son. Thinking. Over that hill. Stephen, it's a good name. Nothing really matters. But you keep rubbing it. You see, I found a little fox in the forest. He was caught trap. Afraid of him? Oh, no. You're never afraid of people you love, son. The animals are all part of my people. Then you let him go? Yes, but there is another trap. Bigger one for bears. I can't see it. Not in time. Tell me, Stephen. Did you ever hear of Johnny Appleseed? Oh, yes, sir. My father says he planted this orchard. My father says that's why we settled here, but the kids all say it's just a story. There never was a Johnny Appleseed. An old Johnny Appleseed? I guess they're right. People like him couldn't ever be real. Did you see him, Dorothy? He could have been our own son. Let's spring again, dear. Treaties are white clouds and blues. Their blossoms are falling down over me as far as I can see. For hundreds of miles I'll never see again they stretch on and on. The wine sap. The Jonathan Pippin. Northern spy. Even the Spitsenberg. Oh, dear Lord, let the winds blow softly through them. Shield them from storm and pestilence. Fill them with water. Oh, dear Lord, let the winds blow softly through them. Shield them from storm and pestilence. Fill them with the songs of birds. And let boys and girls gather around them in peace. And in love. John. John, I've been waiting so long. Don't care about him long. Oh, and I, Dorothy. And I. As in our show tonight, the lights in the Hallmark Playhouse will be dimmed until next September, when we'll return at the same time with all the cards. I hope you've enjoyed these radio adaptations of outstanding stories, as much as all of us have enjoyed these weekly visits into your home. Thank you for tuning us in. We hope your summer is a happy and restful one, and hope on those occasions when you want to send your thoughts across the miles, across the years, or even across the way, you'll remember Hallmark Cards. Here again is James Hilton. It was a pleasure to have you back with us, Lou. I felt singularly honored to be invited to appear on Hallmark Playhouse in the last story of the season, sort of like the old friend who stays to help wash the dishes. Oh, come now, Lou, we never ask you to wash any dishes. But since you're here, and in view of your reputations and amateur adventurologists, you might give us a long-range forecast on the weather this summer. Okay, I'll predict a summer of blue skies and sunshine. Especially if, like Johnny Appleseed, we plant the seeds of kindness wherever we go. That's a fine thought, Lou, and right in keeping with the ideals of Hallmark Playhouse. Well, Hallmark Cards are a big help when it comes to expressing kind thoughts, Jimmy. So you have a worthwhile idea. We feel that, too, and thank you for being with us tonight, Lou. And now, since the Hallmark Playhouse is going off the air for the summer months, I'd like to say thanks to all our audiences for their warm appreciation and the help they've given us by so many letters and good wishes. Speaking for all of us Hallmark players, I can truly say what a happy show it has been and how much we're indebted to our orchestra, our writers, our sound-maning technicians, all of them such fine and friendly workers. Thanks also to Bill Gay, who produces and directs our show, to Lynn Murray, who composes and conducts our music, and to Leonard St. Clair, who adapted the script tonight. So until we meet again, this is James Hookman saying, Good night, and may the summertime be happy for us all. Carefully selected to give you expert and friendly service. Remember Hallmark Cards when you will carry it up to send the very best. The role of Dorothy tonight was played by Lorraine Tutton, Polly Bear was William Durand, Gerald Moore P.K., Ted D'Corsia, Ralph, Ted Osborne, the Indian Chief, and the child was played by Barbara Jean Wong. This is Frank Goss saying goodbye to you all for the summer holidays, until we see you again next fall on the Hallmark Playhouse. This is KMBC, Kansas City, Missouri.


I'm Andrew Crowder. I'm the head of programme of the Diabetic Retinopathy screening service in Wales. My interest here today is actually one of the presenters in the breakout sessions. Really what I wanted to do here was showcase what I think is a really good example of prudent healthcare within our service. So we're looking to roll out what's known as risk-based screening which has been developed in the UK. And we are leading the UK. We will be the first of the programmes in the UK to roll out out. And what I was looking to get over to people was just what value there was in that and particularly value in terms of prudent healthcare. I want to share that experience with people because I think there's a lot that people can learn from what we've done already. But more than that I want to inspire them as well to help them to be encouraged to get into this kind of thing. I mean we put a title of prudent healthcare around these kind of things. And sometimes people don't always know necessarily what that means but by enabling practical examples you can actually show them. And you can see the light up on their face and they think, ah, I understand where you're coming from. And actually we do that as well or that's something that we'd like to get into. So it's about really passing on our learning so far. But also to use the conference to network. You're always looking for encouragement to make sure that what you're doing is prudent so that it actually fits the agenda that you think it's fitting. But also other people will come along with ideas. We don't claim that we have all the ideas in the world and we've got it all right. So just talking with people today, several people have come to me and said, have you thought about this, have you thought about that? And the simple answer is maybe not as much as I first thought and I need to go away and think about that now.


Welcome traders to Tick Mill Charter with me Patrick Manley. I want to draw your attention quickly to a potential developing opportunity in the S&P 500. I talked about this yesterday in the live analysis session. If we hold current levels here on this trend line at 3835, I'm looking for a push higher to test this pivotal resistance at the 3890, 3895 to 3888 area. We've got the weekly R3, the daily R3 and projected daily range resistance here. Watch for bearish reversal patterns. I think this is a hyperability shorting scenario and look for a move back down to retest support to the 3830. So this is the key level to watch today. As always traders, plan the trade, trade the plan and most importantly manage your risk. Until next time, thanks very much.


This study found that the Bioquel Z2 system was the most effective at eliminating bacteria from N95 filtering face-piece respirators. It achieved 100% efficacy against both gram-positive and gram-negative organisms, while other systems had varying degrees of success. This suggests that the Bioquel Z2 system may be the best choice for decontaminating N95 respirators. This article was authored by Sean Clark, Herman Ng, Ji Wu, and others.


Our next caller is Michelle from Illinois. Hi, Michelle. How can we help you? Hi, guys. How's it going? I just wanted to thank you for answering my question today. And I also want to thank you guys for everything that you do on the podcast and beyond. It is the most informative content out there. So, it just hats off to you guys and your hard-working team. Thank you. As for my question, it's a bit of a two-parter. Me and my boyfriend Ryan got into canoeing last year because of COVID. And are planning a trip to Maine for a five-day camping trip down the actual Allagash River. And I want to know what we can do from now until July to properly prepare for putting the canoe on our backs, walking at most a mile, and lugging camping equipment. We're going to be pedaling for about seven hours a day. And I just want to know what to do from now until July to do that. And then also, how to best prime daily every morning to do all those things without injury. This is cool. Yeah, great. Well, first of all, that sounds awesome. It sounds like a lot of fun. Yeah, it sounds like a good time. Great question. Okay, so number one, when it comes to sport-specific type performance. And I'll put that in this category because you have a very specific request. You want to improve your performance or maximize your performance for something quite specific. Nothing will get you better results than practicing the actual thing you're trying to get better at. So I want to say that first because I'm going to give you some recommendations for workouts and stuff like that, but they should not replace canoeing and carrying your canoe and all the stuff that you're going to be doing when you go on this trip, because those things will give you the biggest- Right, if you have access to a lake or something nearby, that would be the most ideal thing to make sure you every week are getting in there and you're rowing in your canoe. And carrying your canoe and you guys practice that on a weekly basis and that kind of stuff. That'll give you the best carryover. Now, as far as workouts are concerned, as far as the MAPS programs, the MAPS strong would probably be, in my opinion, one of the better programs, because what you're looking for is overall strength, but you also want durability. You want endurance, but it's the kind of endurance that requires durability. It's not like a long-distance run. We call it work capacity. Yeah, work capacity. So MAPS strong would be a great program, but I would modify it if you're doing a lot of canoeing and a lot of specific training. So you could cut the volume down in half or only do one foundational workout, one work session, you know, that kind of stuff. Then your question about priming. Now, here's the thing about priming. Yes, you can prime for specific movements, but that pales in comparison to priming for your specific body. Okay, so if Justin and I, for example, go do the same exact thing. We want to prime for rock climbing. That we could do rock climbing, priming movements, and I'm sure it would involve something with the shoulders and probably something that has to do with the wrists and all that stuff, but really it's not going to be as effective as us assessing ourselves and then priming our bodies for what we specifically need. For example, I may have worse shoulder mobility than Justin, or maybe he has hip mobility issues, so he's going to focus on those things, and I'm going to focus on those other things. Do you have access to Maps Prime Pro? No, not at the moment. Take the webinar first. Yeah, so, well, so we have- I actually did that, the one with Justin. Yeah, I did that one. Excellent, so I would do Maps Prime Pro. We'll make sure we send that to you. And in Maps Prime Pro, it goes through all the major joints of the body, go through the movements and see which areas you lack the most. Pick three or four movements that you need the most help in, and then do those on a regular basis. There's some- I mean, there's definitely some exercise stuff, though, that I would add into your routine, because you're- obviously, I doubt you have access to a lake every single day, or that would probably be really tough to get there, but there's- obviously, there's some movements that are similar to rowing, and it probably can get access to a rower. I think a rower would be a great piece of equipment, and whatever the duration is that you would end up probably canoeing for, I would be doing a row for. I also know how you carry a canoe is really similar to how you do a front-loaded kettlebell walk. I know Justin loves those. Overhead carries, yeah, I was going to say that. And this would go perfectly with Sal's recommendation for strong on those days of building up your work capacity with heavy farmer walks, and also overhead carry, so you would hold these in position and really learn how to depress your shoulder blades down and really pack your shoulders, so you have nice stability there with an overhead position. And just build up that endurance while carrying something overhead would be massively beneficial. Yeah, and then lastly, I would say do some good windmills. That's going to really work on that stability of the shoulder, but also that rotational stability and strength that you're going to need. I mean, carrying an awkward object overhead, you're not walking on flat surface, you're going to be climbing over things and whatnot, and if you're really strong with carrying things overhead, but you lack rotational stability, that can sometimes cause problems. Windmills are great for addressing that. Do we have the landmine stuff and strong as we do performance or no? Do you know, Justin? Not in strong, but yeah, the performance. Because I think that would be a great exercise for someone like that too. There's that rotation. Landmine rotational stuff. Yes, the landmine. And so that's so strong, I think would be a great foundation like Sal said. I think for the most part, I would follow that programming, but I would probably eliminate some movements that I can tell aren't really a huge carryover to canoeing and probably add in some things that might not be in there, like the landmine rotations or windmills, things like that. Those are movements. And then a lot of the overhead carry stuff that Sal, I mean, Justin's talking about, and then including rowing. Start rowing every other day if you can get a hold of a rower and include that into your routine. Now, Michelle, how many days a week are you able to consistently dedicate to working out to get ready for this? I already work out about three days a week. I go to plant fitness. It's the only thing open by me right now. So yeah, I definitely, I can dedicate five at this point. Okay, okay, so avoid the free pizza there. That's a trap. Yeah, they don't do that anymore. Okay, I was gonna say that doesn't help. Oh, that's not a thing anymore? Probably because of COVID. COVID. Yeah, you don't want to get the... Damn, what are they doing instead now? Huh? I don't know. So many memberships. Free, free, face mask maybe? Digital pizza. Digital pizza. Email you a slide. All right, so here's what I'll say. Okay, so you said you work out three, you said you can work out five. Let's go in the middle. Let's say four, okay? Okay. Four days a week. Here's a general routine that I would set you up with. Three days a week should be specific to what you're gonna be experiencing on this trip. So I would, for an hour, I would practice and treat them like exercises. Carrying the canoe, hiking. I would actually go and canoe somewhere or use a rower like Adam said. So that's three days a week. One day a week is resistance training and you're gonna focus on exercises that strengthen the body and compliment the things you're looking for. And then every day I would do priming, maybe two 10-minute sessions, one in the morning and one at night, something like that where you're focusing on the areas that you need to focus on. Generally speaking, that'll probably give you the best bang for your buck. Awesome. I like that. Awesome, guys. Well, I think, thank you so much. I really appreciate it. I appreciate all that you guys do. No problem. Thank you, I appreciate the support. I hope you have a great time. Oh yeah, thanks guys. No problem. Yeah, one of the biggest mistakes I made as a young trainer was taking athletes and training and thinking that the gym or in stuff I could do with exercises. You just mimic all the movements. Yeah, and it was better than working out on the field. I mean, the reality is, if you want to get better at a sport or a particular skill, practice that. Wasn't that a common mistake that happened when MMA started getting really popular because it was so diverse and CrossFit was so diverse they were having like a lot of like coaches were just like having these guys just do CrossFit routines for their training for MMA. Yeah, that was a mistake. A lot of people and a lot of people make this, people who like to work out who then sign up for a new sport. I did this with Jujitsu when I first did Jujitsu. I thought, okay, I want to get better at Jujitsu and my endurance. So I'm going to do these kind of workouts. Nothing was better than just doing more Jujitsu. There are certain things though that there's like attributes. So I guess that's a better way to ask like when you have like a thing like this, like a sport, nothing is going to be better than the sport itself. But then there, if there's specific attributes you know you want to improve. For example, like nothing's going to get me better at playing basketball than playing basketball. But there are things in the gym that will make me jump higher than playing basketball and just jumping in basketball all the time. So there are certain attributes like let's say like her row strength or her rotational strength, right? There are certain things that like, okay, rowing will do a good job of it and help you and you'll definitely see some benefits. But there are some things in the gym that you can do that will give you better attributes for specific sports. Yes, you want to view it like this. This is the way I like to look at it. Your, whatever your sport is, that is your diet. So when you're talking about nutrition, 97% of all the results you get from nutrition come from your food. Then you have your supplements, which is like, you know, 5% maybe, right? The gym is the supplement to the main diet. The main diet is the sport that you're practicing, your training.  How can I supplement stuff from the gym to help me in this particular area that I need a little bit of help in? Maybe it's more power or more speed or maybe my mobility needs a little bit more work. Use it like a supplement. If you do it like that, you'll get the best results. I'm a little bit jealous. I think I told you guys like, so I did a week. It was called boundary waters. This was in Minnesota. And it was the same thing. We'd just portage. We'd carry these heavy canoes over. We'd fish out of the lakes. You could actually drink out of the lakes because they were so clean. And then we'd just pop up tents and everything. But I was exhausted after that trip. That sounds like a lot of fun. I think the reason why this is a question that we... I think we've got this almost every live call. Like a sport specific, what do I do? It's because I think what we find is a lot of... These aren't like... She's not like a professional canoer. Right. You know what I'm saying? And we've just talked... We haven't talked to a professional NBA player. It's people that love sports or they have this kind of sport-like goal. But then they also... Love the gym. They love the gym and they want to be fit. And so it's an interesting place to meet where it's like, okay, well, what do I do here? Because I really care about the way I look. 90% of the year. But I do have this trip coming up that I want to get ready for. So it's kind of like this push-pull. Totally.

Hi and welcome to the session. Let us discuss the following question which says evaluate sin of pi by 3 minus sin inverse minus 1 by 2. Now before moving on to the solution let's recall that sin inverse of minus x is equal to minus of sin inverse x where x belongs to closed interval minus 1 1. This is the key idea for this question. Now let's see its solution. We need to evaluate sin of pi by 3 minus sin inverse minus 1 by 2. Now we know that sin inverse of minus x is equal to minus of sin inverse x where x belongs to the closed interval minus 1 2 1. So here minus 1 by 2 belongs to this closed interval. That means sin inverse of minus 1 by 2 will be minus of sin inverse 1 by 2. So this will be equal to sin pi by 3 plus sin inverse 1 by 2. Now let's find out the value of sin inverse 1 by 2. We know that the range of principal values of sin inverse is closed interval from minus pi by 2 to pi by 2. So let us assume that sin inverse 1 by 2 is equal to y. So this implies that sin y is equal to 1 by 2 which is equal to sin pi by 6. So this means that y will be equal to pi by 6 which belongs to the closed interval minus pi by 2 to pi by 2 and y is equal to sin inverse 1 by 2. So that means sin inverse 1 by 2 is equal to pi by 6. So let us substitute the value of sin inverse 1 by 2 over here. So this will be equal to sin of pi by 3 plus pi by 6 which will be equal to sin pi by 2 which is equal to 1. Thus 1 is the required answer to this question. With this we finish this session. Hope you must have enjoyed it. Goodbye, take care and have a nice day.


This has been a spectacular event for us. The 2014 Crime Conference for the Trafficking Illicit Goods and Counterfeit Unit has been amazing. We've raised the bar. It's been amazing. We've had over 200 organisations here from both the public and private sector, had over 80 countries here, just short of 500 people. It's been the biggest. The feedback has been amazing. It's going to be hard to beat. The theme this year was strategically driven for a number of reasons. One, I want to make a bigger footprint in Asia. That's reflected by the increased cooperation and activity we've seen from our police colleagues in China. From the Chinese perspective, we've done two training events in China the last year at two of the major police academies and they've conducted specific operations in China on a provincial level. But the provinces that were picked are those that border with Vietnam and that ties in nicely with an operation reel that was hosted in Vietnam. The outcomes from those two operations in the excess of $80 million worth of counterfeit illicit traded program. There's a strategic value for the team and for me to be here during this event. The support we receive for this program is far-reaching. We have built over the years tremendous partnerships with all industries in the private sector and we've built tremendous partnerships with police across all regions. And I think that's reflected by the fact that we've got over 200 organisations here during this conference from the public sector and from the private sector. So in this year I've noticed new brands coming to the fore. Certain industries have sent not just one or two representatives, one company sent 11 representatives from one particular branded company because they wanted all their team to be here at this event. What I'd like to stress, one of the outcomes from this campaign is how we've also been able to promote Turnback Crime. The whole title of the conference was working together, you know, in partnership to Turnback Crime. Don't forget this is a crime that touches all people in all societies, rich, young and old, and touches you at home in a very, very direct manner. It's dangerous, it's harmful, it's taken over by organised crime who are making phenomenal sums of money. Since the formation of this unit in September 2012, we've reached an amazing benchmark, but with our partners in police, with our partners in other law enforcement agencies and regulatory bodies together with their tremendous support at ground level seized over half a billion dollars of illicitly traded and counterfeit products to be exact $525 million, which for me represents $525 million that has not gone into the hands of criminal organisations.


Now our high energy electron carriers, they've actually calculated how many ATPs can be produced from each individual high energy electron carrier. So what they've seen is that if you have an NADH, you get about 2.5 ATPs from that. From the energy in the electrons carried by NADH, you'll produce about 2.5 ATPs from the energy carried by an FADH2. It's about 1.5 ATPs. If you add up the whole thing, you're going to get, I think it's 26 to 28 ATPs total from this whole process. And again, it's not 100% efficient. So there is some variation there. If we were to do our bookkeeping over the whole thing, if we were just even to keep track of only ATP, if we know that we're getting about from the electron transport chain, let's just say we're going to get about, well, it says 32 ATPs here, but I'm not exactly sure why there's 32 of them, because I think that I want to say that there's 28 ATPs out of here. Let's just say, let's go with the higher number. From the citric acid cycle, do you remember that we actually ended up with two ATPs? And the same thing from glycolysis, we actually ended up with two ATPs. And so our grand total is 32 ATPs from what? From one molecule of glucose. From one molecule of glucose, we were able to produce 32 ATPs to use in whatever capacity that is necessary. Now, this whole process is, there's variations on the theme. We just did from glucose. We just gathered energy from glucose. You know that you eat more things than just glucose and you can get energy from more things other than just glucose. So let's look at some variations on this pattern, and then we're going to do a gigantic review of the whole process so that you can visualize the whole thing.


The Freedom Dividend is universal basic income by different name, just test better. So we're going with the Freedom Dividend. Where every American adult between 18 to 64 gets $1,000 a month. Free and clear, you get it, I get it.   Now the cost of that is about $2 trillion per year. Now for reference, our economy is now $19 trillion. And it's grown $4 trillion in the last 10 years alone. We are the richest, most advanced society in the history of the world. And we can easily afford $1,000 a month. So the federal budget right now is $4 trillion. So $2 trillion seems like a very big ad. But the great thing about it, this is not a government program. It's just circulating money back to citizens so that we can buy things for our children, repair our cars, go to school, start a business, whatever we want to do. So this $2 trillion, the way it's broken up is that we currently spend between $5 and $600 billion on welfare, income support, disability, etc. Current welfare programs are about $5 to $600 billion. Yes, okay. So if you're going to give everyone $1,000 a month, but they're already getting, let's say $1,000 in current benefits, then you say, okay, you're already getting it, you're set. Okay, okay. And so this $5 to $600 billion decreases the cost, the freedom, and about 25%. Okay, down to one and a half trillion. Yes, okay. Now, the big change you have to make is that right now our income tax system is going to be really terrible at generating revenue from AI software machines because they're going to do more and more work. But the beneficiaries tend to be really big tech companies that don't pay a really high tax rate at all. You wrote in your book that Apple, Microsoft, and Google have tens of billions to hundreds of billions of dollars that they run through offshore. Yeah, yeah, they do. Ireland's a particular favorite. And so they just have all this money parked offshore because they can easily just assign revenue to various places. And so even as the big winners in this AI revolution make more money, it's very unlikely that the US government or society is going to see a lot of that. So what we have to do is we have to adopt a value added tax, which is something that every other industrialized country in the world had except for us. So it's us modernizing and getting with the program. And because our economy is so large, a value added tax at half the average European level would generate about 800 billion in revenue. So Europe's about 20% value added tax. Yeah, and so what does that look like then for a company like Apple then that? So what would happen is that Apple would be paying a value added tax at every step of the production process. And then their costs go up by about that amount, total amount. So about 20% more for a MacBook or an iPhone? Well, it would be about 10%. Traditionally, companies end up eating some part of that and then passing some of it along to consumers. So it could be that the price of the iPad or whatever goes up like 8% or something along those lines. But keep in mind though, you've got $1,000 extra a month and so as everyone else. And so the bottom 94% of the US population will end up with an increase in purchasing power. But then the question then is, if the items are costing more money, if there is that slight inflation of the cost of the items then, how much is that offset this $1,000 a month that I'm making? Yeah, it will give me the ability to maybe buy it. But then these normal items like food and water and electricity are, how much have they went up and how much does that take away from my $1,000 that I'm making? Well, it just depends upon how much you consume. And that's one of the beauties of the system is that the average American is consuming nowhere close to the threshold where they would lose. Again, the bottom 94% of Americans would see an increase in purchasing power. You need to consume an awful lot in order to have the vet be more than $1,000 a month. And if you're at that apex of society, then that's great. It's great for you. Even the wealthy people I know, and I do know some wealthy people, they prefer a consumption tax regime to something like a wealth tax or even higher income taxes because what they'll say is, look, I can control my consumption. I can get a slightly smaller yacht or jet or whatever. But I can't control my wealth.  But if you tax my consumption, then I'll be like, yeah, that's fine. And again, every other major industrialized country already has it, some at twice the level. So this is something that people are very, very accustomed to. Value added tax, taxes consumption, which is why people are more OK with it. Yes. And so value added tax at half the European level gets you $800 billion. So that plus the $500 billion gets you up to about $1.3 trillion out of the two. Out of the two. Now here's the beauty of it, is that if you give people $1,000 a month, they're going to spend it. Right now, 59% of Americans can't afford an unexpected $500 bill. Everyone's really cash strapped and living paycheck to paycheck. So with an extra $1,000. Us included support on patreon.com. The link is below. Yeah, sure. Support Yank 2020. Yeah, I mean, let's do it. It's going to help creatives, artists, entrepreneurs. The Freedom Divina will be the greatest catalyst to entrepreneurship and creativity in the history of the world. So you put 1,000 bucks a month into people's hands. They're going to spend it. They're going to create things. And it's going to create 4 and 1 half million new jobs and grow the economy by 13% or 2 and 1 half trillion, according to the Roosevelt Institute that modeled this out. So it's going to be this incredible boom. And the US government gets back about $500 billion in new revenue because of the economy booms by 2 and 1 half trillion. Of course, the government's going to get its fair share. So that gets you up to 90% of the cost of the Freedom Dividend. And then you get the last couple hundred billion from cost savings to health care, incarceration, homelessness services. It gets very expensive when people hit our institutions.  So keeping people functional with 1,000 bucks a month actually is going to be this incredible value multiplier. Mental health will improve. Graduation rates will rise. Nutrition gets better. Like all of these things that will be incredible value adds. And you know what goes down? Hospital visits, domestic violence, criminality, all of these things. So it pays for itself. And what I'm suggesting isn't even aggressive. Like you could say, hey, we're really going to create this map, which we will. But even if you're conservative, this thing is very affordable.


From the Fairmont Hotel in the heart of Silicon Valley, it's theCUBE, covering when IoT met AI, the intelligence of things. Brought to you by Western Digital. Hey, welcome back everybody. Jeff Frick here with theCUBE. We're in downtown San Jose, the Fairmont Hotel. At a little event, it's when IoT met AI, the intelligence of things. As we hear about the internet of things all the time, this is really about the data elements behind AI and machine learning and IoT. And we're going to get into it with some of the special guests here. We're excited to get, the guy's going to kick off this whole program shortly. This is Tom Sturmer. He is the, I got to get the new title, the Global Managing Director, Ecosystem and Partnerships from Accenture. Tom, welcome. Thank you Jeff. And congrats on the promotion. Thank you. So, IoT, AI, buzzwords, a lot of stuff going on, but we're really starting to see stuff begin to happen. I mean, there's lots of little subtle ways that we're seeing AI work its way into our lives and machine learning work our way into its life, but obviously there's a much bigger wave that's about to crest here shortly. So, as you kind of look at the landscape from your point of view, you get to work a lot of customers, you get to see this stuff implemented in industry. It's kind of your take on where we are. Well, I would say that we're actually very early. There are certain spaces with very well-defined parameters where AI has been implemented successfully. Industrial controls at a micro level where there's a lot of well-known parameters that the systems need to operate in. And it's been very easy to be able to set those parameters up. There's been a lot of historical heuristic systems to kind of define how those work and they're really replacing them with AI. So, in the industrial space, there's a lot of take up and we'll even talk a little bit later about Siemens who's really created a sort of a self-managed factory who's been able to take that out from a tool level to a system level to a factory level to enable that to happen at those broader capabilities. And I think that's one of the inflection points we're going to see in other areas where there's a lot more predictability in a lot of other IoT systems, to be able to take that kind of system level and larger scale factors of AI and enable prediction around that, like supply chains, for example. We're really not seeing a lot of that yet, but we're seeing some of the micro bit pieces being injected in where the danger of it going wrong is lower because the training for those systems is very difficult. Yeah, it's interesting. There's so much talk about the sensors and the edge and edge computing and that's interesting, but as you said, it's really much more of a system approach is what you need and it's really kind of the economic boundaries of the logical system by which you're trying to make a decision. And we talk all the time, are you optimizing for one wind turbine? Are you optimizing for one field that contains so many wind turbines? Are you optimizing for the entire plant? Are you optimizing for a much bigger, larger system that may or may not impact what you did on that original single turbine? So systems approach is a really critical importance. It really is. And what we've seen is that IoT investments have trailed a lot of expectations as to when they were going to really jump in the enterprise. And what we're finding is that when we talk to our customers, a lot of them are saying, look, I've already got data. I've got some data. Let's say I'm a mining company and I've got equipment down in mines. I've got sensors around oxygen levels. I just don't get that much value from it. And part of the challenge is that they're looking at it from a historical data perspective and they're saying, well, I can see the trajectory over time of what's happening inside of my mines. But I haven't really been able to put in prediction. I haven't been able to sort of assess when equipment might fail. And so we're seeing that when we're able to show them the ability to affect an eventual failure that might shut down revenue for a day or two when some significant equipment fails, we're able to get them to start making those investments and they're starting to see the value in those micropockets. And so I think we're going to see it start to propagate itself through in a smaller scale and prove itself because there's a lot of uncertainty. There's a lot of work that's got to be done to stitch them together. And IoT infrastructure itself is already a pretty big investment as it is. I'm going to short that mine company because we had Caterpillar on a couple of weeks ago. And they're driving fleets of autonomous vehicles. We're talking about some of those giant mining trucks who any unscheduled downtime, the economic impact is immense, well beyond. Worrying about a driver being sick or how to fight with his wife or whatever reason is bringing down the productivity of those vehicles. So it's actually amazing. There's little pockets where people are doing it. I'm curious to get your point of view too on kind of managing combat. The guy's like, I'm not sure what the value is because the other kind of big topic that we see is when will the data and the intelligence around the data actually start to impact the balance sheet? Because data used to be kind of a pain, right? You had to store it and keep it and it costs money and you had to provision servers and storage. But really now in the future, the data that you have, the algorithms you apply to it will probably be an increasing percentage of your asset value, if not the primary part of your asset value. You see people start to figure that out. Well, they are. So if you step back away from IoT for a minute and you look at how AI is being applied more broadly, we're finding some transformational value propositions that are delivering a lot of impacts to the bottom line. And it's anywhere from where people inside of a company interact with their customers, being able to anticipate their next move, being able to predict, given these parameters of this customer, even what kind of customer carry agent should I put on the phone with them before you even pick up the phone to anticipate some of those expectations. And we're seeing a lot of value in things like that. Excuse me, so when you zoom it back into IoT, some of the challenges are that the infrastructure to implement IoT is very fragmented. There's 360 some IoT platform providers out in the world and the places where we're seeing a lot of traction in using predictive analytics and AI for IoT is really coming in the verticals like industrial equipment manufacturers where they've kind of owned the stack and they can define everything from the bottom up. And what they're actually being able to do is to start to sell product heavy equipment by the hour, by the use, because they're able to get telemetry off of that product, see what's happening, be able to see when a failure is about to come and actually sell it as a service back to a customer and be able to predictively analyze when something fails and get spares there in time. And so those are some of the pocket's words really far ahead because they've got a lot of vertical integration of what's happening. And I think the challenge on adoption of broader scale for companies that don't sell very expensive assets into the market is how do I as a company start to stitch my own assets that are from all kinds of different providers and all kinds of different companies into a single platform. And what the focus has really been in IoT lately for the past couple of years is what infrastructure should I place to get the data? How do I provision equipment? How do I track it? How do I manage it? How do I get the data back? And I think that's necessary, but completely insufficient to really get a lot of value IoT because really all you're able to do then is get data. What do you do with it? All the value is really in the data itself. And so the alternative approach a lot of companies are taking is starting to attack some of these smaller problems. And each one of them tends to have a lot of value on its own. They're really deploying that way. And some of them are looking for ways to let the battles of the platforms at least get from 360 down to 200 so that I can make some bets. And it's actually proving to be a value, but I think that is one of the obstacles we have to adoption. The other thing you mentioned interesting before we turn on the cameras is really thinking about AI as a way to adjust the way that we interact with the machines. And there's two views of the machines taking over the world. Is it the beautiful view where it frees us up to do other things or suddenly nobody has a job, right? The answer is probably somewhere in the middle. But clearly AI is going to change the way and we're starting to see just barely the beginnings with Alexa and Siri and Google Home with voice interfacing and the way that we interact with these machines which is going to change dramatically with the power of, as you said, prescriptive analytics, presumptive activity and just change that interaction from what's been a very rote, fixed, hard to change to putting, as you said, some of these lighter weight, faster to move, more agile layers on the top stack which can still integrate with some of those core SAP systems and systems of record in a completely different way. Exactly. And you know, I actually use, I often use the metaphor of autonomous driving and people seem to think that that's kind of way far out there. But if you look at how driving an autonomous vehicle is so much different from driving a regular car, right? You don't have to worry about it, I'm the new chef of executing the driving process. You don't have to worry about throttle break. You don't have to worry about taking a right turn on red. You don't have to worry about speeding. What you have to worry about is the more abstract concepts of source, destination, route that I might want to take. You can offload that as well. And so it changes what the person interacting with the AI system is actually able to do and the level of cognitive capability that they're able to exercise. We're seeing similar things in medical treatment. We're using AI to do predictive analytics around imagery coming off of medically. It's not only starting to improve diagnoses in certain scenarios, but it's also enabling the techs and the doctors involved in the scans to think on a more abstract level about what the broader medical issues are. And so it's really changing sort of the dialogue that's happening around what's going on. And I think this is a good metaphor for us to look at when we talk about societal impacts of AI as well. Because there are some people who embrace moving forward to those higher cognitive activities and some who resist it.  Those are subtle activities. It's not just AI for voice recognition, but it's also using AI to alter what options are given to you and what scenarios are going to be most beneficial. More often than not, you get it right. Well, the other great thing about autonomous vehicles, I mean, it's such a fun topic because it's something that people can understand and they can see and they can touch in terms of a concept to talk about some of these higher level concepts. But the second order impacts, which most people don't even begin to think, they're like, I want to drive my car, is you don't need parking lots anymore because the cars can all park off site, just like they do at airports today at the rental car agency. You don't need to build a crash cage anymore because the things are not going to crash that often compared to human drive. So how's the interior experience of a car change when you don't have to build basically a crash cage? I mean, there's so many second order impacts that people don't even really begin to think about. And we see this time and time again, we saw it with kind of cloud innovation where it's not just, is it cheaper to rent a server from Amazon than to buy one from somebody else, it does the opportunity for innovation, enable more of your people to make more contributions than they could before because they were too impatient to wait to order the server from the IT guy. So that's where I think too, people so underestimate kind of the big, Mars law, my favorite, we overestimate the short term and completely underestimate the long term, the impact of these things. The doubling function, exactly. Yeah, absolutely. I mean, it's hard for a human kind is geared towards linear thinking, right? And so when something like Mars law continues to double every 18 months, price performance continues to increase, storage, compute, visualization, display, networking, the sensors and mems, all of these things have gotten so much cheaper. It's hard for a human of any intelligence to really comprehend what happens when that doubling occurs for the next 20 years, which we're now getting on the tail end of that fact. And so those manifest themselves in ways that are a little bit unpredictable. And I think that's going to be one of our most exciting challenges over the next five years is what does an enterprise look like? Right. What does a product look like? One of the lessons that I spent a lot of time in race car engineering in my younger days, and actually did quants and analytics, and what we learned from that point is as you learned about the data, you started to fundamentally change the architecture of the product. And I think that's going to be a whole new series of activities that are going to have to happen in the marketplace. It's about rethinking fundamentally products. Uber's a great example of a company that's completely disrupted an industry. And on the surface of it, it's been disrupted because of the fact that they essentially disassociated the consumption from the provision of the product and didn't have to own those assets so they could grow after they. Right, right. But what they fundamentally did was to use AI to be able to broker when should I get more cars? Where should the cars go? And because they're also, we're on the forefront of being able to drive this whole notion of consumption of cars. And in getting people's conceptual mindset shifted to having to own a car to, well, I know an Uber's going to be there. It becomes like a power outlet. I can just rely on it. And now people are actually starting to double think about should I even own a car? Right, right. Whole different, whole different impact to the autonomous vehicles. And if I do own a car, why should it be sitting in the driveway when I'm not driving it, right? Send it out to go. Exactly. To go work for me, make it a performing asset. Well, great conversation. You guys, Accenture's in a great spot. We're always at the cutting edge. I used to tease a guy who used to work with Accenture.  And again, a lot of these things are people changing the lens and seeing fat and efficiency. And then attacking it in a different way, whether it's Uber or Airbnb with empty rooms in people's houses. We had Paul Dordion at the GE Industrial Internet launched a few years back. So you guys are in a great position because you get to sit right at the forefront and help these people make those digital transformations. And I'll tell you, I mean, supply chains is another one of those high level systems opportunities for AI. We're being able to optimize, you know, think about a completely automated distribution chain from factory all the way to the drone landing at your front doorstep as a consumer. That's a whole other level of efficiency that we can't even contemplate. Don't bet against Bezos, that's what I always say. All right, Tom Sturmer, thanks for spending a few minutes and good luck with the keynote. I appreciate it, Jeff. All right, I'm Jeff Frick. You're watching theCUBE. We're at the intelligence of things where I was team that AI. You're watching theCUBE. Thanks for watching.


I will not let my happiness or my depression be left up to chance and too many of our lives are left up to chance and we just go with the flow. Today we're going to be talking about my number one goal for 2022 and what I would hope that you actually adopt as your number one goal for 2022 as well. And I adopted this frame of mind last year, this year that we're in 2021 and it was my number one goal. And usually when we sit down and we say, okay, these are my new resolutions. This is what I wanted. I want to work on my body, I want to work on my business. I want to make more money. I want to have better relationships. I want to be a better boyfriend, girlfriend, spouse, a better parent. You can look at all of those and all of those are great, but I have one kind of umbrella over all of those things. And I had it last year, I'm going to have it this year again. And this is to live my life in 2022 as if the very last day I'm going to be alive is December 31st, 2022. So my goal is to live every day like I'm dying every single day. My goal is this is my last day on earth.   I don't know if this is going to be my last year on earth. I don't know if this is going to be your last year on earth. And it very well could be. I say it all of the time, but 150,000 people didn't wake up from their sleep or didn't 150,000 people that woke up yesterday did not wake up today in saying that knowing, okay, one day it's going to be the day. I don't know. Hopefully it's a long time from now.  Whether I realize it or whether I don't.  It doesn't exist in my mind. I'm never going to see it. I'm going to live like that. Now hopefully I do see it, but I'm going to live as if it was absolutely the last year of my life. And going through this last year with that number one intention has shifted and changed a lot of things in my life. And I told you this last year that this was my goal.  It's going to happen. And you're not going to, if this was the last year of your life, you're not going to do things that you don't want to do. If I said, Hey, today is the last day that you're going to be alive. You're going to take no actions today that are not things that you actually want to do. And this is an important because if you've been listening long enough, you know that I live my life through a lens of if it's not a yes, it's a no. And so when you think to yourself, if this was my last day and I'm looking at my schedule and what I have to do today, would this be what I would do? Or would I do something different? Is my day is today a full yes for me? Like, am I so excited to go into my day or am I waking up kind of, Oh God, I guess I got to go ahead and do this. I guess I got to go to work. Right? So if I've had those feelings before when I worked for someone else, there's nothing wrong with working for anybody. I'm just the type of person I can't work for anybody. It's just not built into me. But if you're going to a job, when you're driving to your job, are you excited about the opportunities that you have? Are you excited about what it is that you're going to do? Is your job a full yes for you? Is your relationship that you're in a full yes for you? I've had people that have emailed me. It's kind of funny. Since the very first time that I did my yes, no episode about a year and a half ago, and they're like, I have changed so many aspects of my life. I have somebody who is a friend of mine that literally got out of a relationship a long term. It was like five year relationship because they listened to the episode and they asked themselves, is my relationship that I'm in a full yes? And they started going through the aspects of and thinking of it saying, Oh my gosh, it's actually not like I'm living in a relationship and I love this person and they're great.  Yes, like, is this something that I'm a 100% yes. I love this. So when I wake up in the morning and I the, the coffee that I drink, is it today? Is it, is it coffee for me? Is that feel like it's a full yes for me? Or does today feel like a tea day? Like I, you know, coffee, maybe it makes me a little bit more anxious than tea does. So maybe it today is more of a tea day or you know what today it's actually neither one of them. I don't need the caffeine to get up and it might be on the weekend and you might say, you know what, I don't need to put myself into a little bit more of an anxious state. So is it the coffee that you drink? Is it a hell yes for you? Is it the food that you eat in the morning? Is it a hell yes for you? Is your morning routine? What's your morning routine look like? Is it a hell yes for you? Is it your, your workout process? Is it a hell yes for you?  I have a lot of people that, that I've worked with in the past one-on-one clients that are, you know, very successful people. They have great businesses. And what's really interesting is that their number one goal is just to be able to start taking their kids to school every single morning because they love that routine and their business has taken so much from them. They built a business to not have time to drop their kids off at school and they just love having that present moment with them. So if you look at your morning routine, is there are some changes that you could make that would be like, Hey, this is a full hell yes for me. Like this is a full yes. This is what I want to do. Or are there aspects of it that you would want to shift? Okay. Going into work, whether you have your own business or you work for somebody else, is it a full yes for you as well? Like, are you like, yes, this is what I want to do.  And all too often I find people settle. They do what they feel like they're supposed to do. And I understand if you have a family or if you have a house and you have bills that you have to pay, there are certain obligations that you have built your built into your life. I get it. I understand it.  Well, what would be a hell yes for you? You know, can you make your job that you currently have or your business that you currently have like full on? Yes. This is what I want to be doing. Is there ways to shift that? Can you have a conversation with your manager about some of the things that you do so that your job can be more of a hell yes for you?  Maybe you look at that and you say, well, if this is my last day on earth, this is my last year on earth, I'm going to live like I'm dying this year. And I know I got to go to work because I got to pay the bills. If this is my last year on life, last year with life, can I do something that I actually love to do? Can I do something that feels like it's working towards the right direction? So maybe it's like, you know, is there another job that might pay you about the same?  Is it a hell yes for you? Is it something that you want to do? The route that you take to work, is it a hell yes for you? You know, maybe you've got a route to work that's the faster way, but maybe you could go a more scenic, more beautiful route that puts you in nature that feels better for you. And you just enjoy that drive more. Sometimes enjoying the drive is worth the extra time. So like I'll give you a good example. When we drive from Austin down to San Antonio to go see my fiance's parents, there's a route that will take us to San Antonio and it's about 15 minutes shorter if we take all of the interstates, or we can drive through Texas Hill Country and we can see nature and it's beautiful and you can see the sunrise, you can see the sunset and even though it takes 15 minutes longer, it makes the drive more enjoyable. We go the extra 15 minutes because it makes the two to two hours and 15 minutes a more enjoyable process. Is there a route that you can do in that that? That would be something that would better for you. The route that you take to work. When you get into your car, is your car like a full hell yes for you? I'm not saying you have to drive like a Lamborghini or a Ferrari or anything like that, but can you make the car that you currently have more of a hell yes for you? Can you make some adjustments and maybe change your car around a little bit or maybe just in general, is there another car that you could get that could be a hell yes for you? There's all these little teeny tiny changes that you start to go through in your life. You start to make shifts so that you actually enjoy what you're doing. I had a conversation with a friend of mine, very successful guy. He's in his 50s and at the time he was worth about a hundred million dollars and I was about to interview him for the podcast about five years ago, four years ago, whatever it was. At that point in time, I was driving a 2007 Hyundai Santa Fe and I could afford another car at that point in time, but my mindset around this car was that I'm going to run this freaking thing into the ground. I was getting pride in the fact that I was going to run this thing to the ground and he said one thing to me that I'll never forget. He wasn't trying to talk me into anything, but we were talking about cars and stuff and he drives like Alexis, nothing Ferrari's or Lamborghinis or any of that type of stuff and he goes, you know what, I just find that when I drive a car that I enjoy, I show up better. I show up better for whatever it is I'm doing when I get there and I enjoy myself more in that car and he gave me this whole how he feels and immediately I was like, I got to buy something else and I told him this. I was like, I have to buy something else and about a month later, I went and bought a truck because I had, you know, found the truck that I wanted it, you know, got really good gas mileage compared to everything else that I'd seen and I'd always wanted a truck my entire life. And I was like, you know what, I want to get this truck and I got it and I've realized what he was talking about. Like I, instead of getting into my car and there's a, there's a energy in the back of my head of like, yeah, screw this Hyundai Santa Fe. It was like, I was actually excited to get into my car because I loved the truck that I had. And so there was this little shift and did it cost me more money? Sure. But what happened was I realized exactly what he was saying was true is that I showed up better to everything that I did.   It's called the mom mobile because it looked like I was about to drop kids off at school or at soccer practice and I don't have any kids, but I was driving the freaking thing around still from years and years and years when I was an outside sales rep, because it used to store stuff really well. And I was kind of embarrassed by the car, but took some pride and I'm going to run this thing to the ground. And then I had this conversation. I shifted and I was like, I'm going to buy something new, something that I enjoy and I bought it. And I was like, he's right. He was right. He was 100% right. I show up better the entire time that I'm driving. Like if you think of how many hours you drive over the course of an entire year, well, shouldn't those hours be more enjoyable? You know, the music that you listen to, the podcast that you listen to, the YouTube stations that you can listen to as you're driving, like are all of those things? Yes is for you. If this was your last year on life, what would you be doing? Would you be listening to something that you enjoy more? Would you be filling your mind with something that makes you feel better so that you show up better so that you can impact more people? And so you start to think of all these little teeny tiny aspects of your life in the, the everything that you have and go, you know what, maybe I should shift this. Maybe I should change this around a little bit. You know, you look at the, the people that you work with, the people that are around you.  Okay. Well, is there a way to shift that so that you can enjoy every aspect of your job more often is a, you know, the people in your life, the people that you hang out with the most, are you like full hell?   Well, are there people that are kind of like that as well in your life where you're like, I should unfollow this. If this person were on Facebook and I saw the way that they're talking to people around me. I saw the way that they're treating myself and all of this. Would I unfollow, would I block them on Facebook? And you start to look at the people in your life and change those things.  And so you start to go through every single aspect, your drive home, your evening routines, right? Is it you come home and you just put something in the microwave and you spend two hours watching Netflix and then you just go to bed at 11 o'clock and you're kind of tired and all of that stuff. Do you have an evening routine that fills you up that makes you feel good? Are you reading books instead? Are you journaling? Are you doing a short meditation, an evening routine to set your subconscious up the way that you want to? The time that you get in bed, the bed that you have, there's all of these little tiny things that if we were to go through with a fine tooth comb and try to pull out everything that we like and keep it and pull out everything we don't like and replace it, what aspects of your life would you change? Would you be like, you know what? I kind of hate my bed. I'm going to get a more comfortable bed because this is my last year on earth and start to change all of these things.  Are you doing what you want to do? And this is an important question I'm going to ask you and I ask this all the time. A lot of times when I'm on lives and I'm on zoom calls and people are, you know, I literally did this earlier today. I was on a consultation call with somebody.  And he's like, what do you mean? I was like, what do you want? Like, what do you actually want? We can build out the systems and the processes and the marketing and the sales team and all of this stuff and we can help you with that. But what do you actually want? Because I don't want to build something and have you put a whole lot of time into something when you don't even actually want that thing. Because if you have something that you want, you're going to put hours into it and be more focused into making it better. If you have something that you don't want, it's going to make building this team, building this product that you're selling, building this offer, building the marketing behind it, putting the sales funnel together and putting the video sales letter and all those things together. It's going to be more energy consuming to have to force yourself to do it versus feeling like, hell, yeah, I want to do this thing. And so you look at it and ask yourself, like, what do you actually want? And that's a great question to write down on pen and paper like, what do I want? And just make it as broad as you possibly can and answer that question. Then you can take the exact same question and you can put it into each aspect of your life. What do I want in my family? And then you can journal through that. What do I want in my body? What do I want in my health? What do I want in my relationships? What do I want in my business? What do I want in my finances? What do I want in the route that I take to work? What do I want in the food that I eat? What do I want in my morning routine? What do I want in my evening routine? What do I want to do with my free time? What do I want to do in my traveling? And you can go very vague. What do I want and then just see what you want? And you get very grayling go, what do I want in my business? And you can say, okay, what do I want in my business? You can journal through it. You can look through and say, okay, what do I want in my sales team? What do I want in my marketing? If you look at your relationships and you say, what do I want in my marriage? What do I want in my in my relationship with my children? What am I one of my my relationship with my mom and my dad, my brother, my sister, my cousins, what do I want in every single aspect of my life? And you start to plan out to build what would be the perfect life, knowing that you might not be able to take action on every single thing right now, but what do you want? Now let's go a little bit deeper. You look at every single one of those as well. And this is a great exercise. I implore all of you to do this. Please do this. Then you ask yourself, what do I not want? So what do I not want in my life? Oh, you know what? I don't want any more negative people. Okay. Great. I don't want conversations that don't have the energy of transformation in them anymore. What do I not want in my relationships? What do I not want in my family? What do I not want in my business? What do I not want in my marketing? What do I not want in my, uh, my sales process? What do I not want in every single aspect of what I do? What do I not want in my car? What do I not want in the drive to work? And you start to figure out what is it you want and what is it you don't want? You'll start to realize that you have a lot of processes and things that you go through in routines every single day that you don't even want to do. And if this were the last time that you're going to be like, if this is your last day on earth, what are you going to do about it? Like you would you want to do those things that you don't want to do anymore? No. And so why would we act as if we have forever? Why would we act as if we have a million years on this earth? Why would we act as if we're just guaranteed tomorrow? If we're just guaranteed another year and you start to build out what would be from this process, you start to build out the perfect day for you, the perfect life for you and something that is going to be exciting for you to wake up and get into. And that's going to make every single day better. But what's going to happen is you're just going to start to notice that if you do this and you get very diligent on doing the things you want and doing not doing the things you don't want, you're going to start to actually realize you're building your perfect life. And I have a friend who he was a number 30 employee in Facebook. And when he got fired from Facebook right before they went public, a few months before they went public. And when he got fired, he lost all of his stock in Facebook. And if he would have just been there for a few more months, when they went public, he would have made $180 million. And he went into a depression because he went from literally, you know, I could have made $180 million to I have nothing right now.  Like what would make me happy? You make this massive list of all of the things that made him happy. And the phrase that he said that I'll never forget the day I die, I will not let my happiness or my depression be left up to chance. And too many of our lives are left up to chance. And we just go with the flow. He became very diligent on making sure that he looked at his happy list every single morning. He looked at his schedule next to his happy list every single morning. He said, how can I put as many of these things in here as possible? Like what do I, what do I love? What makes me happy? Going on walks. Okay. How can I do a walk in the forest outside of Austin? Cause we have a lot of trails around here. How can I do a walk today in that hour long break that I have for work? And he started building in everything that makes him happy, everything that he wants into his life. And he started realizing that his depression slowly started going away because he wasn't doing anything they didn't want to do anymore. And so I want you to realize that your day will come. My day will come. All of our days will come at some point in time. It just makes more sense for us to live a life that we absolutely love, but it starts with living each day and the next year that we have living a life that we love. So be intentional with every single thing that you do. And you will realize that you have built a life that you actually love. Hey, thanks so much for watching this video.

Hello friends, welcome again to another session on Gems of Geometry Continuing with our trend We are going to discuss another very important result here so the result is that the if you have a triangle ABC and AD is One of the altitudes then the length AD will be equal to B times C divided by 2 R where R is the circum radius of the triangle ABC Okay, so AD as you can see here AD I have shown the value also in this case. It is 5.88 B is the side opposite to angle B B here B. This is angle. This is side C so hence AD will be equal to B times C divided by twice of R R is the circum radius so What we'll do is we'll just change the position of C let's say and you can now see that that whatever is the position of C we can calculate the value of a B right so it's very much possible So here it is so you can you can see if you even if I change the position of B It remains the same correct or a So hardly matters right so hence you'll get the same Value right so AD length of the Hypotenuse or sorry length of the order altitude is equal to Length of the adjacent sides product of the adjacent sides Right. So for example AD is the altitude so in the adjacent sides in this case will be C and B So product of these two sides divided by two times the Circum radius. That's what is the theorem. Let's try to prove this So let's prove this theorem now. So if you can see in triangle ABD so AB and D this triangle ABD and A A dash C. So A A dash C if you see both these triangles are similar. Why? because first of all ADB Angle ADB You can see here ADB is 90 degrees and A C A dash will also be 90 degrees. Why? Because A 0 8 4 A dash happens to be the diameter and diameter subtends an angle 90 degree at any Quantum circle right so this we know so it's both of them are 90 degrees Also ABB or other ABC which are same A again A B D which is equal to A B C this angle will be equal to A A dash C right A A dash C because A C being the same chord So it is subtending two angles at point B and a dash Right. So hence what will happen these two angles are also equal. So if these two angles are equal then what happens the two The two triangles will be similar by a criteria a similarity criteria. So hence their corresponding sites must be proportional So hence AD this AD upon the altitude here AC so AD upon AC will be equal to AB upon A A dash right that's what I have written here right so corresponding parts of Similar triangles so AD is written as it is but AC was B You can see AC is B Similarly AB was C and a a dash clearly diameter so to bar So clearly by cross multiplying you can see AD is BC upon to R, right? This is what we intended to prove that means We got this result that altitude length will be equal to product of the adjacent sides You can see adjacent sides B and C here and divided by twice the circum radius, right? So any altitude Can be expressed as the product of the two sides and the diameter or the twice the circum radius. That's the rule for the theorem
