After their successful military campaign to take over Afghanistan, the Taliban have begun a PR campaign to win legitimacy. To that end, the group hosted an unprecedented press conference on Tuesday in Kabul. The conference was hosted by the Taliban spokesperson Zabihullah Mujahid, who had never before shown his face to the media. The first task Mujahid had set himself was to reassure the international community. It is very understandable the international community is expressing worries about the security and about Afghanistan. But I reassure all internationals, the UN, all embassies, to all our neighbours that we will not be allowing the soil of Afghanistan to be used against anybody. We assure them we keep our promises and we keep the Islamic Emirates promises. It was of course allowing al-Qaeda to operate in their territory and plan the 9-11 attacks that would end the Taliban's last period of rule. So you can see why they might want to reassure other countries it's not going to happen again. As I say, it's probably too early to take their word for it. The Taliban didn't just limit themselves to suggesting only those outside the country had nothing to fear from their rule here. The spokesperson tried to reassure those Afghans remaining in the country who had worked for the Americans. I want to reassure all our countrymen, whoever has worked in the military, in translation, we have given amnesty to everybody. There is no revenge. All those young people who have talent, who have got education, we don't want them to leave. We want them to hear, to be here in Afghanistan, work for their own country. I reassure all of them, no one will go after them, no one will ask them why you worked with or why you translated for the Americans or you supported them. Now that was a really interesting statement I thought, especially because of the statement that the spokesman made that he doesn't want young people to leave. This reminded me of a conversation we had with Anatole Levin last Friday. He was saying one of the key determinants of what kind of regime the Taliban implement will be whether or not they decide that they need technocrats. Do they need educated middle-class people to help run the country and to help grow the economy? Now if we take this man at his word, potentially they do. Again, too early to say that's going to be a frequent refrain in this section, I'm afraid. Finally, the issue about which most is still unknown and about which there should be the most concern is how the Taliban will treat women. Last time they were in power, women were virtually erased from public life. There were horrific punishments for things like adultery. They've suggested this time will be different. This is what the spokesperson said on that topic. Our God, our Quran says that women is a very important part of our society. They can work, they can get education, they are needed in our society and they will be actively involved. If the international community is worried about these issues, we will tell them there will be no nothing against women in our ruling. Our people accept, our women are Muslims, they accept Islamic rules. If they continue to live according to Sharia, we will be happy, they will be happy. It goes without saying that is a very big if, if they live according to Sharia. To discuss how seriously we should take the Taliban's claims though, I spoke earlier to Abu Dhabi here, a university lecturer in Kabul. I started by asking him if we should believe what the Taliban said at Tuesday's press conference. Well, I think you have the luxury of not believing it. I think people in Afghanistan right now don't have any other option but to cling to the hope that all of this is true. The idea is that the Taliban have in the past shown a certain level of incongruence between what they've been saying and what they've been doing. They have had such statements before, however, ground realities in provinces have been different. The difference between then and now is that now their leadership is going to be in Afghanistan. So the same excuse of insubordination in such cases that they used to refer to is going to be there no more. Now, what happens is people who have a higher stake in this future are apprehensive that much of what the Taliban are saying are for international appeasement. And this is timed until the last soldier leaves, then the Taliban behavior would change. And all of that is based on assumptions as well. The reality is we have to wait for them to form a government and then see how much accommodation they have within them for conflicting views for newer ideas. How much does it matter how that government is formed? I understand negotiations are still going on at the moment. Will the big moment where we know whether they're for real be the one where they say who they are going to invite into their government and who they aren't going to invite into their government? I think that would be a good start with regards to really knowing how they plan on moving forward because they have had a past where they didn't have much international recognition. When they were here in the 90s, there was a time when they did approach the UN, they did approach the United States and they did try to get international recognition, but that didn't work for them. So hoping that in itself as a memory is deterrent enough for them to change behavior, modify their behavior this time around. So it starts with how inclusive the government is. And then from that way forward, we have to see how they form their specific commissions, what the education policies are going to be like, what general government policies are going to be like. And all of that is going to be very closely linked with the quality of life that people perceive for themselves as well under the Taliban. So there have been protests yesterday in Jalalabad or I think today against the Taliban and they tried to hoist the Afghan flag back up. And I'm hoping that this is not the start of things to come. And the Taliban really need to expedite their process of forming a government because the longer a political vacuum stays, the more people get anxious with regards to what the Taliban have in store. So yeah, it starts with the government and then we see the rest of the policies follow. One of the points that I thought was particularly interesting in that press conference was the spokesperson saying, we don't want young educated people to leave the country, we want them to stay here and help rebuild the country. Presumably you would fall into that category of people, an educated class in Afghanistan who they say they want you to stay. Do you believe them when they say that? And are you considering should I up sticks and leave or should I stay and try and help rebuild a new Afghanistan? When they say that, what do they mean? Do they mean they would prefer these people to stay or they block them from leaving because they both have very different ramifications. The Taliban for 20 years have been the enemy. So their image constructed in the heads of the post 90s generation is one of savage, violent people who cannot accommodate conflicting opinions. And that's not a world that a lot of these young people would want to live under. For my case specifically, I have certain safety nets. I have a certain background that helps enable me to raise the voice and shake the bush more than other people can. And I'm planning on using that and I'm planning on using my groups here and try to act as that devil's advocate. Try to act like someone who is going to not compromise on the vision of the world that we had. So when we're trying to reconcile the two worlds that the Taliban had and what the generation that grew up after them have, there have to be people that can give newer ideas because if it's just the Taliban making the decisions and every one of us leaves, there are going to be people here that will have to suffer due to those policies. So I guess Uncle Ben said it right. With great power comes great responsibility and those of us who can raise a voice have to raise a voice. We owe it to the people. What do you think the role is at this point for outside countries to try and pressure the Taliban to stick to their word? What leverage do they have and how should they best use it? They have all their leverage in the world. They have the relief of sanctions. They have foreign aid. They have international recognition. All these cards are in their hands. And these are things that the Taliban do care for. And we see that from how they weren't in a rush to move into the presidential palace and announce their government. The fact that they're still having their leadership come here and lead, meet political leaders within Kabul is a sign, is a good sign. It shows that they really do care about how the international community perceives them. We heard Justin Tradou say that they would not accept a Taliban run government. So yeah, the international community still holds a lot of cards and they can help in enabling the voices of the youth and women in Afghanistan to help create a society that is livable. If they do want to stop the brain drain, they need to create a world that is good enough for these people to stay because people decided to cling on to the tires of a plane and fall to their death but not live under the Taliban regime. Yeah, it's now or never. The international community has done a lot of bad to Afghanistan with a lot of mistakes, supporting corruption, the unresponsible withdrawal from Afghanistan, the shutting off of borders, the too little too late with regards to the immigration that they're offering Afghans now. After all of that, at least the international community can do is engage with the Taliban and help enable voices other than the Taliban to make sure that the newer world is one that is sustainable. MPs at the moment in Westminster are having a big debate about the withdrawal from Afghanistan and the Taliban takeover. It seems to me really the consensus which is being put forward by our MPs is that essentially this was a good war that for those 20 years that Western troops were there, they were securing freedom. They were increasing security and that it was by leaving that they have abandoned Afghanistan. And I wanted to know what your thoughts are on that particular interpretation of what's happened over the past week and what's happened over the past 20 years. The situation for Afghanistan was an utter failure. Its failure can't just be summarized in the way it ended in the way that they left. It also can be seen in the way that it was conducted. Any war that protects for that long is already a lost war. The idea that the West came here with extreme cultural insensitivity. To recognize what these people were willing to accept what they weren't, alienated the local population, brought in diaspora to rule the country that really didn't understand the country much either, alienated the local leaders, the same local leaders who then stood up by the Taliban, even with regards to addressing the basic needs of the people. There's this policy of how you need the insurgents swim, right? So that means you have to address basic needs to make sure more and more insurgents don't end up picking up arms. And they managed to feel that because you go to rural Afghanistan, it's the same rural Afghanistan it was before the West came. It's the same rural Afghanistan after the West went. So you can go around and absolve yourself of responsibility and say, well, we did pay them money, but that's like throwing money at a fire, right? So what did you do to contain the fire? Why were you enabling corrupt politicians? Why did you not have a plan for the Afghan peace process? Why did the United States sign a peace deal and had no idea what the Afghan political settlement would look like? Why did the West not have a regional approach and try to reconcile the different visions for Afghanistan that the neighbors had? And the list goes on. Neither was the start of the war a smart approach, neither was the end of the war a smart approach. And who suffers at the end of the day the common Afghan? Because every time the West comes in here from its imperial colonial times, it destabilizes the society. It leaves fragile states. It goes back and then eventually the society in the world here haunts them.  When is this going to stop? And it only stops when sustainable and stable governments are formed here. And when the West rather than being run by their own national interests really care for the welfare of the Afghan society and the Afghan people.

Well my dear students, the course is Labour Policy Pakistan and we are going to study very important fundamental right and that is Article 17, Freedom of Association. Dear students in English law, freedom of association includes forming and belonging to political parties. Freedom of association means belonging with political parties. You see, political parties deal with political ideologies. If you want to be a part of a political party then no problem, you can be a part of freedom of association. Apart from this, what is association? When more than one person is a part of a political party and more than one person is a part of an ideology and works for a particular purpose, then you call it association. Apart from political parties, there are platforms such as trade unions, societies and other organizations like this. A citizen is free to join any association under the freedom of association but the condition is that this association will not be made for criminal work. Such action which is considered against society is called criminal action and such action which is called civil wrong against an individual. Apart from this, there is another condition on the right of freedom association but this association should not be made for police or armed forces to use these functions. Article 17 of the constitution of Pakistan says that every citizen shall have the right to form associations or unions subject to any reasonable restrictions imposed by law in the interest of sovereignty or integrity of Pakistan, public order or morality. Reasonable restrictions can be imposed so that sovereignty of Pakistan can be done. So freedom of association cannot be an exercise against sovereignty of Pakistan. Integrity of Pakistan cannot be an exercise against the integrity of Pakistan. Public order or morality cannot be an exercise against the integrity of Pakistan. But this right is not for civil servants who are in charge of the government. Here, in the second paragraph, the government declares that any political party has been formed or is operating in a manner prejudicial to the sovereignty or integrity of Pakistan, the federal government shall within 15 days of such declaration refer the matter to the Supreme Court whose decision on such reference shall be final. And the decision of the Supreme Court shall be final in this manner. A condition characterized by the absence of widespread criminal and political violence absence or amun in the country is harmful to someone or something detrimental. Hope you have understood the topic. Thank you very much.

Hello everyone, I am SP Mankani, Assistant Professor, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Walchand Institute of Technology, Solaapur. Today we are going to study working of meter-out circuits. At the end of this lecture, students will be able to understand the working of meter-out circuits. So here, this is a meter-out circuit diagram. So here initially we are going to study the all parts in detail, then we will go for the actual working of this meter-out circuits. So here this one is a reservoir and the oil is through this filter, is going to be filtered. Then it comes to the pump. Pump is coupled with the motor. When the motor is in the operation condition, so that time this oil is going to be pumped in the upward direction. So here, whenever this oil is at a higher pressure than the defined pressure, so this is going to be indicating here as a pressure gauge. So whenever it crosses the defined or the preset pressure, so that time this comes in the action. So means this oil, whatever the oil is coming through this way. So this is the particular portion where it is coming in the action. So means here you are going to be understanding as whenever it crosses the defined or it is a set pressure, so that time it is going to be linked. So then the oil is going to be through this particularly it comes to the reservoir. So in the next diagram we are going to see the detail. So here, the simple diagram, this pressure whenever it crosses the designed or the defined pressure. So that time it comes through this way and it is going to be linked here. So this is also in the red color only because it is a higher pressure. So the oil is going to be through this particularly pipe it comes to the reservoir. So means it avoids the excess pressure. So whatever the oil is going to be flowing through this way, so it is avoiding the excess pressure. So here then whatever the pressure we are defined that pressure through that particularly pressure, the oil is coming through this particularly the control system. So this is you are going to be considering it as a four way two position manually operated spring loaded DC wall. So this particularly DC wall here it is a two part this is one and this is two. So here this is a two way position manually operated spring loaded DC wall. In the previous lecture you might have seen the details of this particular laser. Four way and three position. So here we are taken as a two positions. So the oil whatever it is coming high pressure oil it is going to be passing through this way. Then it comes to the this piston and cylinder arrangement. So here this piston and cylinder arrangement we are going to be considering here as a so this is as a inlet. This as a inlet means this we are going to be taken as a outlet. So means this is one position you are going to be taken as a inlet and another position is coming as a outlet. So this is related to the only piston and cylinder arrangements.  So then this is the flow control wall with the integral check wall. So here so then it comes to this once again back to the so this through this particularly part it comes to the reservoir. So these are the components of this particular laser circuit diagram. So now we are going with the detail working of this one. So here just the same diagram without any additional information you are taken this as a next diagram. So here if you observe the oil through this particularly filter so it comes to this one. So then it flowing through this because we are attached this particularly the wall is concerned. Two way wall in that we are taken this as a directly the flowing wall. So through this it comes to this one. So it is going to be acting the pressure on the piston head. It is going to act the pressure on the piston head. So when acting the pressure on the piston head it is going to moving it in the backward direction moving it in the backward direction. So that time the whatever the oil is available here whatever the oil is available here that will come through this particular way. So that will come through this particular way. So means here it is coming through this way. So then it comes to this one. So here what exactly the difference you are going to be observing as far as the metering and metering out circuit. In metering circuit whatever the inlet is going to be taken place here the controlling is going to be taken place here. So here at the outlet we are going to be taken as a controlling. This particular outlet whatever it is coming it is going to be controlling. So here majorly the students are going to get a confusion with the metering and metering out circuits. So in both the way whenever it is inlet it is becoming. So that time here it is the inlet and this is the outlet. So that time we are going to be controlling here. So this particularly two parts they are going to be getting as a metering or a metering out as a confusion. So to avoid that particular difficulties or a confusion is concerned I have taken metering as a separate and metering out as a separate. So now we are going with the particular as a metering out. Metering out is nothing but only you are going to control the oil which is coming out from the piston and cylinder arrangement. So means it is going to be coming out this oil is going to be controlled. This oil is going to be controlled here. So in the first this figure you are going to be getting this as a inlet. So it doesn't have any controlling system here directly it comes to this one. So then that oil is coming to this here it is a restricted because this is the wall is closed. So here there is no flow of the oil is concerned this is blocked. So when this is blocked the total oil has to come through this way and here there is a controlling arrangement. You have shown this as a arrow mark means it is going to be controlled. So whenever it is operated that controlled oil is coming through this way because of that you are going to be calling this as a metering out. Metering out is nothing but the outlet of the oil is going to be controlled. So that is metering out system. So here in the next figure so here you will the same controlling system in this diagram. Here we are applied as a only one side as a metering out that is the outlet you are going to be controlling. In the next figure we are going to be controlling this side as well as this side. So there the confusion part starts. So here just you can observe it once again the same components. This is the relief wall and this is the pump and here it is going to be high pressure oil is coming through this way and this is four by three four by three four ports and three controls. So that is the direction control all one two and three this is the normal position. So whatever the oil is coming here it is back drain back to the tank once again. And here we are going to be manually operated. This is going to be shifted in the first case we are going to be shifted this side and the second case we are going to be shifted to this side. So that operation you are going to be observing the next particular this animation animation diagram. So here just you can observe it here. So this is whenever the oil is going to be flowing this way just you can observe the while it's going to be flowing this way high pressure oil suppose so that oil whatever it is there it is going to flow in this direction. So here the flow is going to be taken place. Here there is no flow through this way here there is no flow through this way because it is off and this is going to be flowing through this way. Which means it is inlet is coming as if it is a there is no constraint in the inlet is concerned in the previous diagram. I have shown it as there is no constraint in that The same thing is shown here with the flow controller. So through this way the oil is going to be flowing this one and then it comes to this side. So because inlet we are not controlled, inlet is given directly and whenever it is going to be pushing it is backside so this oil is coming out. This is going to be restricted now, this is important for meter out circuit. This is important now. This oil is coming outside like this. So whenever it is coming here it is restricted. So it is not permitted to flow through this way. So this is closed and the oil has to flow this way only. Here it is a controlled. So means meter out, outside you are going to be controlling whatever the outside it is coming that is going to be controlled. So then it come back then it will come to the this reservoir. The same thing it is going to be applied as a reverse if it is going to be applied as a reverse. So if you take it this one as a 1, 2 and this is 3. 2 is normal, 1 is a straight and another is a cross. So if you applied this one so that time that oil is going to be flowing through this way. Oil is going to be flowing through this way. So here just you can observe. So while it is flowing through this way so this is going to be in the operation. This is going to be opened. So that time this is going to be closed. So just I will go with the black color line now just to differentiate it. This is closed now while it is moving in this direction. So that oil comes through this way and then it is going to be flowing through this way and inlet there is no distinction, inlet there is no distinction. So here, this is closed and inlet there is no distinction. So it is coming as a inlet and whatever the load is coming this side now. Load is coming this side now because it is going to be coming in this way means moving in this direction. Retardation is going to be taken place this is expansion to retardation. So while it is moving in this way, so this is now it is moving in this way, so that time so it is going to be pressure is created here and that oil is coming here. So when this oil is coming here this is restricted, this is restricted that time, black color I am showing it, this is restricted. So now this is opened, so means outlet of oil once again it is going to be controlled means it is called as a metroid circuits, okay you observed as a metroid circuits as well as controlling this side as well as controlling this side. Whenever there is a both the figures are coming in the single figure both this particular last coming in the single figure that time usually used to get a confusion. So to avoid that one just to remember as outlet is going to be controlled that is metroid inlet is going to be controlled that is metering in the previous lecture here just you can observe the working whatever oil is going to be flowing through this way and it will come this way the same thing is going to be happening when it is going to be a normal flow this is coming this way and it is going to be flowing through this way this is closed and this is acting now it will come to this inlet and outside this yellow color whatever representing this is not going to be flowing this one this is closed. So that time this is in the working condition the same thing is going to be repeated for once again just for understanding purpose now we can observe here this is the flow is going to be taken place through this way this is we are going to be calling it as a meter out circuits I hope you are observing this in clearly this flow red color is a high pressure and it will come and outside yellow color we are going to be restricted by flowing through this way this is close that time so now there is a small water applications of meter out circuits so here meter out circuit is ideal for overloading load applications in which workload tends to pull and operating piston faster than the pumps delivery would warrant so here examples would be for drilling rimming boring turning and threading tapping cutting off and cold swing machines a skull cold saving machines sorry so these are the application parts of this meter out circuits so here for the further detail you can refer this particular site as well as oil hydraulics systems by SR Mujumdar thank you


The results of this study suggest that healthcare workers in Jordan are generally reluctant to be vaccinated against monkeypox. This may be due to lack of knowledge about the virus or a fear of side effects from the vaccine. Additionally, the study found that those who had been vaccinated in the past were more likely to be accepting of the vaccine. This suggests that increasing awareness of the virus and its potential risks could help increase acceptance of the vaccine. Furthermore, the study also found that those with a positive attitude towards compulsory vaccination were more likely to be accepting of the vaccine. This indicates that encouragement of mandatory vaccines could potentially increase acceptance of the vaccine. This article was authored by Hanin Muhammad, Khaled Al-Mazoum, Lana Al-Reh, and others.


Nigel, what a win against world number two Fabi, you must be absolutely delighted. Yeah, ecstatic. I think I played a really good game today. I was quite focused and there was just one bit in the game that I was not so sure about. I think when I had an overwhelming position, I'm not entirely sure I should have gone for this ending, but it was good enough. Maybe he could set up a different defence. I'm not 100% sure, but obviously I was pressing more or less the whole game. Probably a different defence, but it never seemed like the defence could be good enough in that ending. I mean, I would have to analyse it. He suggested something after the game as being an improvement, but it didn't seem to work as far as I could tell. So yeah, I was just on the ball today. There were certain moments, small things. There was a moment when I played Bishop takes d5, which was like an anti-positional move, but it's followed up because I'm attacking his bishop. There's some tactical reason why it's working, and then his bishop is driven into a passive position. So there were certain things like that, which you've got to be alert to. Even after having a better position, you have to look at his pawn. I got a very nice position. I don't know what the theory is at all in this line. I decided to sacrifice a pawn, and he seemed very surprised by this, and I think he has to take it. Instead, he was taken aback when he saw this, and he played a different option. I don't think it's the sort of position that you can play bailout moves. Maybe he misjudged it because it looked very unpleasant for him, the opening, and then he decided to sacrifice a pawn. It's actually a horrible decision, but I understood it. I was thinking about it myself, that this was maybe his best try, but it's ugly, very, very ugly. But sometimes these guys, they hang tough. They feel that they've got great resilience, and he's probably waiting. Every resource? Yeah, that's right. Waiting for an old man to blunder later on, but it didn't come. It absolutely did not happen. Just going back to the opening, e4, c6, the caro con, it's not something that he employs usually, but we've seen Tabiano do it a couple of times. Were you expecting it today? No, I wasn't expecting it at all. I mean, my preparation was basically trying to decide which my first move was going to be, so I hadn't really thought too much about what he... I actually expected some Sicilian, to be honest. He plays e5 as well quite often, but I thought he would be looking for... In open tournaments, without taking great risk, you're looking to try and win and not be ultra-solid, so it's a different style from playing in these absolute elite events. I don't think one should blame that. He got a bad opening. You shouldn't blame the opening in itself. I think he just didn't respond well to the new situation. I play something he was unfamiliar with, and I think he... There's very often that phase when you go from memory to having to think for yourself, and this is a very, very dangerous phase for all players, even for the absolute elite. Quite often people don't get the intensity of concentration that they need when they're going from routine, rote memory to thinking for themselves. I think he didn't respond well, and I got some advantage. There were some little subtleties, actually. I did quite nicely some A3, H3 as well. You were very pleased with the way you played. Yeah, there were some points to these moves. I was quite deep into the position, understanding the finesses, I think. In fact, with Fabi, we've often noticed that he does employ the caracan when he wants to create an unbalanced position, trying to create chances to, of course, win with Black as well sometimes, which did not go very well for him today. We've seen Nikita do the same thing employing... Yeah, sure. I mean, I've been playing the caracan here in Gibraltar myself, and have had reasonable results up to a point with it. So, yeah, I mean, you can win with absolutely any opening. It depends. You just don't want a symmetrical position. Right, but now I do not have to say you say that you were not expecting it, but you went with second move Knight C3, and that's also not the most topical way. You would normally go E4 C6 D4 in your own games. So was that just something that you decided over the board, or something you had in mind that in case the caracan came up, you wanted to go for Knight C3? Look, I've been around for a thousand years, so I've played all systems. And this is, you know, this sort of two-night system is one that I play from time to time, and in fact, I beat Max Rothstein last year, and that's not on the database, by the way, so in this Checkmate TV tournament. So, you know, that is not known. So he wouldn't have prepared. He probably wasn't expecting it to go this way. I don't know. I mean, I think he probably thought it was one of the things I could do, but I play various systems. Right, now this seems to be the first checking the database. It was your first win against the 2800-plus player since 1993, since your match against Gary.  That is not exactly correct, but yeah, it's been a while. I mean, this makes it more special, but of course just beating the world number two is... Yeah, I mean, the numbers are really pretty relevant to me, but the fact that it's the world number two, a fantastically strong player, and I've had my chances against him previously. I actually had a tragic last round, a number of years ago in Vaikanzai in the B tournament. Yeah, can you imagine? He was playing in the B tournament. We were both there. And I outplayed him and I was winning, and I saw a winning combination, and I somehow failed to play it because of some oversight of mine. Actually, I couldn't count the pieces.  And I just sort of felt that I missed chances against him. Yeah, he's a very difficult guy to beat in general. He is world number two for a reason. Yeah, there is... And I was okay about it, but you suddenly start thinking that, you know, here's the guy who started with seven out of seven in St. Louis, you know, beating Carlson and everything. Oh, my God, you know, I'm up against him here. But it's all right. And actually, in fact, he hasn't... He's had a pretty good run, not losing a single game in over 50 games as well. This is his first loss in a really long time. Yeah. Well, it's got to happen sometime, and I'm glad it was me. In fact, one of the first people to congratulate you was none other than Gary Kaspro with his tweets, so that felt good as well. Yeah, that's right. The old is sticking together, so... Rooting for each other? Yeah, no, it's very funny. Right, and now how are you going to celebrate? I'm actually pretty tired because it was a long game, and that's all right. I don't mind being tired if I win. So I think I'll have a fairly quiet evening. I'll have a glass of wine, but early to bed, and I think there are plenty more very tough games. I find that very hard to believe. No, well, I need to catch up. I actually felt a little bit tired today, but it was a long game. But I think I was just in a good place psychologically. Right, well, congratulations once again. Long tournament to go, and we hope to have you back in our studio soon. Thanks, Tanya. Thanks, Nigel.


My name is Sam Vaklin, and I'm the author of Malignal Self-Love, Narcissism Revision. The narcissist's true self is introverted, it is dysfunctional. In healthy people, the true self, or more precisely a part of it called the ego, performs certain functions. And these functions are generated from the inside, from the ego. In narcissists, the ego, being a part of the true self, is dormant, it is comatose. You could say that narcissists, ironically, have no ego, or at least no functioning ego. Narcissists needs the input, and needs feedback from the outside world, from other people, in order to perform the most basic ego functions. What are these functions? For example, recognizing the world, setting boundaries, forming a self-definition and an identity, differentiation, self-esteem, regulating a sense of self-worth, and many other important psychological maintenance functions. All of a microphone by the ego, which, as I said, with a narcissist, is dilapidated, and decrepit, and dysfunctional. So the narcissist seeks input from the outside, he seeks feedback from other people. He seeks to be reflected in other people's eyes.  But it is only the forced self that gets in touch with the world. The narcissist's true self is fossilized, isolated, ossified, repressed, unconscious. It is a shadow. The forced self, therefore, is a kind of hive self, kind of swarm self. It is a collage of reflections, a patchwork of outsourced information. Take this, garnered from the narcissist interlocutors, and laboriously cohere and assemble, so as to uphold and buttress the narcissist's inflated, fantastic, and grandiose self-image. In healthy, normal people, ego functions are strictly internal processes. In the narcissist, ego functions are imported from his surroundings. They are thoroughly external, not internal. Consequently, the narcissist often confuses his inner mental psychological landscape with the outside world. He tends to fuse and merge his mind and his milieu. He regards significant others and sources of narcissistic supply as mere extensions of himself, and he appropriates them, because they fulfill crucial internal roles. And as a result, are perceived by the narcissist to be sheer internal objects, devoid of an objective external and autonomous existence. So to recap, other people in the narcissist's life perform functions for the narcissist, which in healthy people are performed internally, are carried out by internal structures. Because people perform for the narcissist functions which are normally internal, he perceives them to be internal objects. He regards them as a part of himself, as an extension, another organ. Forcing the narcissist's false self to acknowledge and interact with his true self is not only difficult but may also be counterproductive and even dangerously destabilizing. The narcissist's disorder is adaptive, it's functional, although admittedly it is very rigid. The alternative to this adaptation or maladaptation would be self-destructive, even suicidal. Narcissism is important in keeping the narcissist alive and functioning and more or less balanced, however precariously. This bottled up, this self-directed venom and aggression, they are bound to resurface if the narcissist's various personality structures are coerced into making contact. That a personality structure such as a true self is in the unconscious or pre-conscious does not automatically mean that it is conflict-generated. It doesn't mean that it is involved in conflict or that it has the potential to provoke conflict. As long as the true self and the false self remain out of touch in communicative disconnection, conflict is usually excluded. The false self pretends to be the only self, the false self denies the existence of another self, the true self. The false self is also extremely useful, it's adaptive as I said. And so rather than risking constant conflict between the two, the narcissist opts for a solution of disengagement, repression or even dissociation. A classical ego as proposed by Sigmund Freud is partly conscious and partly pre-conscious and partly unconscious. The narcissist's ego is completely unconscious, it's submerged. The pre-conscious and conscious parts are detached from it by early traumas and they form the false self together with the ego idea. The superego is in healthy people, it constantly compares the ego to the ego idea. The narcissist is a different psychodynamic. The narcissist's false self serves as a buffer and as a shock absorber between the true self and the narcissist's sadistic panic punishing and immature superego. The narcissist aspires to become a pure ego idea. He has no ego, his superego is life threatening. And so he ignores both of them and he sticks with the ego idea and this becomes the false self. The narcissist's ego cannot develop because it is deprived of contact with the outside world. And therefore the true self, the ego, endures no growth inducing conflict. The false self is rigid. The result is that the narcissist is unable to respond and to adapt to threats, illnesses, other life crises and circumstances. He has no tools.   He is brittle, he is prone to be broken rather than bent by life's trials and tribulations. What does the ego do in Freud's triadic formulation? Well, the ego remembers. The ego evaluates, plans, responds to the world, acts in the world, acts on the world. It is the locus of the executive functions of the personality. It integrates the inner world with the outer world or in Freud's lingo the id with the superego. The ego acts under a reality principle rather than a pleasure principle. This means that the ego is in charge of delaying ratification, of planning. The ego postpones pleasurable acts until they can be carried out both safely and successfully. The ego is therefore in an ungrateful position. On one hand, unfulfilled desires, urges and drives produce unease and anxiety because they are not fulfilled. And on the other hand, reckless fulfillment of desires is diametrically opposed to self-preservation and survival. So the ego has to mediate these tensions. It has to acknowledge desires and urges and drives, but then postpone them until circumstances are right or indefinitely. So in an effort to thwart anxiety, the ego invents psychological defense mechanisms. On the one hand, the ego channels fundamental drives. It has to speak their language, it has to communicate with them. It must have a primitive, infertile component. And on the other hand, the ego is in charge of negotiating with the outside world of securing realistic and optimal bargains for his client. His client is the id. These intellectual and perceptual functions are supervised by the exceptionally strict court of the superego. Persons with a strong ego can objectively comprehend both the world and themselves. In other words, in other words, they are possessed of insight. They are able to contemplate longer time spans, able to plan. They are able to focus, to schedule, to collaborate with other people to achieve goals and results, etc., etc. These kind of people, healthy people with a healthy ego, they choose decisively among alternatives and they follow their results. They are aware of the existence of their drives. They are prone to having desires and urges like everyone else, but they control them. They channel them in socially acceptable ways. They resist pressures, social pressures, other pressures. They choose their course, they pursue it. They have an inner compass. It's called the sense of self-worth. Their sense of self-worth is not labor, it's stable. The weaker the ego is, the more infantile and impulsive the order of the ego. The more distorted he is over the section of his self and of reality. A weak ego is incapable of productive work in the long run. And so the narcissist is an even more extreme case. The narcissist's ego is not weak, it's non-existent. The narcissist has a fake, substitute ego, the false self. This is why the narcissist's energy is always drained, always depleted.  The narcissist is a person exhausted by his own absence. The healthy ego preserves some sense of continuity and consistency. It serves as a point of reference. It relates events of the past to actions at the present. And it relates these to plans of the future. It incorporates memory, anticipation, imagination, intellect. It defines where the individual ends and where the world begins. It's an interface, flexible, wise, informed, intelligent. Though not co-extensive with the body, though it is not co-extensive with the personality, the healthy ego is a close approximation of both. In the narcissistic condition, all these functions are relegated to the false self. The false self hallows of confabulation. The fact that it is false, not authentic, not genuine, a concoction, a piece of fiction, a narrative, an invention, a script. This fact of its philosophy, it rubs off on all the functions it carries out. The narcissist is bound to develop false memories, a false biography, conjure up false fantasies, anticipate the unrealistic. Work is intellect to justify these fantasies, etc. etc. getting more and more divorced from reality, failing the reality test more and more, until finally it detaches completely, and in some extreme cases, becomes psychotic. The falsity of the false self is double. Not only is it not the real thing, the real McCoy, because it's not, the false self also operates on false premises. It is a false and wrong goge of the world. It fails the narcissist, it doesn't allow the narcissist to calibrate properly. It falsely and inefficiently regulates the narcissist drives. It fails to thwart anxiety. It's not working well most of the time, because nothing which is not grounded in reality cannot cope with reality properly, and if you can't cope with reality properly, then you are dysfunctional. If you are dysfunctional, then you are anxious, and if you are anxious, then you become compulsive, and so it goes. The false self provides a false sense of continuity and of a personal center. It weaves an enchanted and grandiose fable as a substitute to reality. The narcissist gravitates out of his self, out of his true self, out of his core, and into a plot, a story, a narrative. The narcissist continuously feels that he is a character in a movie, kind of a fraudulent invention. A con artist to be momentarily exposed and summarily, socially ostracized and excluded. Moreover, the narcissist can only consist, he cannot be coherent. His false self is preoccupied with the pursuit of narcissistic supply. The narcissist has no boundaries, because his ego is not sufficiently defined, it's not fully differentiated. The only constancy in the narcissist world is the narcissist's feelings of diffusion, of imminent annulment. This is especially true in life crisis, when the false self, the false ego, ceases to function. The narcissist then has no defenses from the world. He kind of breaks apart, disintegrates, becomes a cloud of molecules. From the developmental point of view, all of this is pretty easily accounted for. Narcissism starts in early childhood. It may have a genetic component, it may be based on a genetic predisposition, but it is a reaction to life's circumstances, mainly the variety of forms of abuse. So it starts in childhood and the child reacts to stimuli, both internal and external. The child cannot, however, control, alter or anticipate this stimuli. Instead, the child develops mechanisms to regulate the resulting tensions and anxieties and fears that this stimuli provoke. The child's pursuit of mastery of his environment is therefore compulsive. The child is obsessed with securing gratification and gratifying the security. Any postponement of the child's actions and responses forces the child to tolerate added tension, added anxiety. It is very surprising that the child ultimately learns to separate stimulus and response. It's very surprising that any child ever learns to delay gratification. This miracle of expedient self-denial has to do with the development of intellectual skills. The intellectual skills and the socialization process put together, they allow the child to fracture properly in the world, in reality, in society. The intellect is nothing but a representation of the world. Through the intellect, the ego examines reality vicariously, without suffering the consequences of possible errors.  The ego uses the intellect to simulate various causes of action and their consequences. And then the ego decides how to achieve its ends and the attendant gratification, how to consequently reduce anxiety. The intellect is what allows the child to anticipate the world, what makes the child believe in the accuracy and high probability of his predictions. It renders the world less hostile, more predictable. It is through the intellect that the concepts of laws of nature, predictability through order. These concepts are introduced through the intellect, causality and consistency. They are all mediated through the intellect. But the intellect is best served with an emotional compliment, a garnish of emotions. Our picture of the world and of our place in the world emerges from experience, but experience is both cognitive and emotional. Socialization is a verbal communicative element, but decoupled from a strong emotional component, it remains a dead letter to ask any psychopath. An example, the child is likely to learn from his parents and from other adults that the world is predictable, it's law-abiding, it's orderly. However, if his primary objects, in other words his mother, his father, adult role models, if his primary objects caretakers, if they behave in a capricious, discriminating, unpredictable, unlawful, abusive or indifferent manner, this overlays what the child has learned to expect from the world. It hurts and the conflict between cognition and emotion then becomes powerful over powering. It is bound to paralyze the ego functions of the child. The accumulation and retention of past events is a prerequisite for both thinking and judgment. Both are impaired if one's personal history contradicts the content of the super ego and the lessons of the socialization process. Narcissists are victims of such a glaring discrepancy between what adult figures in their lives had preached and their contradictory behavior and causes of action. Many adults let down children by saying one thing and behaving differently when the walk is not the talk. Once victimized, the narcissist swears no more. He will not be a victim anymore. He will do the victimizing. He will become the abuser. He will be that superior figure that has the power to inflicting on others. As a decoy, the narcissist presents to the world his false self, but he falls prey to his own devices, internally impoverished, undernourished emotionally, isolated, cushioned to the point of suffocation. The true self degenerates, decays. The narcissist wakes up one day to find that he is at the mercy of his false self, that he has been body snatched, that he is being abused. As much as his victims are.


It's the 24th and final season of South Floyd basketball as the Raiders will consolidate with the Wright Beaver Creek rival Allen Central to become the Jaguars of Floyd Central next season. This year's back-to-back 58th district champions hope to write a thrilling final chapter before they close the book. You know, every year we set a goal as to be the district champs and get in the regional tournament and see what can happen. We've got some good kids coming back, you know, hopefully we can put it together and have a nice season. We expect to make it a little farther in the region. We're not just going to settle with district this year. We're going to try to make some noise in the region a little bit. I think we're being overlooked. We have a lot of talent on this team and I think we'll go in and turn some heads. Yeah, we're really looking forward to, you know, possibly hitting that 20-win season, you know, building on the things that we have in the past. In 2001, the Raiders captured their first region title under former head coach Henry Webb, who's now Floyd County School's superintendent. Coach Holbrook hopes his kids get a taste of the past success that South Floyd has enjoyed. It go out with a picture on the wall would be really nice. That's something that we, you know, the tradition that, you know, back in the early 2000s and I was a part of that when Henry first came in and we kind of saw us heading in the right direction. And we get to see those pictures on the wall every day when we practice. And, you know, we want to put, that's one of the goals we've set is to put a picture on that wall, whether it be an All-A or a regional tournament. I mean, we're hopefully going to give the people, you know, they've followed us for Raider Nation for a long time, hopefully we can give them something to cheer about at the end. I feel like we got big shoes to fill with the past and previous teams that came through here. I just want to be remembered. I mean, everybody's a senior on this team because it's the last year at South Floyd. But the main thing is you just want to be a motivational person for like the younger kids. I'm excited for a new beginning next year, but I'd love being a Raider. Reporting in High Hats for EKB Sports, I'm McKayla Colley.


BA-7Nb for Mu-20 is a high ion conductor with a unique structure consisting of two layers of cations and anions. The inner layer consists of oxygen vacancies, while the outer layer contains lithium and sodium ions. The researchers used a combination of techniques including resonant x-ray diffraction, solid state nuclear magnetic resonance, NMR, and first principles calculations to determine the chemical order and disorder of the solids. They found that the Mo-atoms occupy only the M2 site near the intrinsically oxygen-deficient ion-conducting layer. This finding provides a basis for developing ion conductors with improved performance. This article was authored by Yuta Yatui, Masotaka Tansho, Kotaro Fuji, and others.


Hi and welcome to the session. I am Asha and I shall be looking here with the following question which says if the sum of first p terms of an AP is equal to the sum of first q terms then find the sum of first p plus q terms. Let us now start with the solution and here we are given that sum of first p terms of AP is equal to the sum of first q terms that is p upon 2 into 2a plus p minus 1 into d is equal to q upon 2 into 2a plus q minus 1 into d or this equation can further be written as p upon 2 into 2a plus p minus 1 into d minus 2 upon 2 into 2a plus q minus 1 into d is equal to 0 or we have 2a upon 2 common in the bracket p minus q plus again taking d common and we have p minus 1 into p upon 2 minus q minus 1 into q upon 2 is equal to 0.  So, now taking p minus q common we have p minus q into a plus p plus q minus 1 upon 2 into d is equal to 0 or p minus q into 2a plus p plus q minus 1 into d is equal to 0 multiplied by 2 since 2 is the LCM. Now since we are given that p is not equal to q. So, this implies p minus q is not equal to 0 since we are given that the sum of first three terms of any p is equal to the sum of first few terms therefore p is not equal to q. Now since this is not equal to 0 this will imply that 2a plus p plus q minus 1 into d is equal to 0. Now let us find the sum of first few terms whose formula is p plus q upon 2 into 2 into a plus p plus q minus 1 into d. This is further equal to p plus q upon 2 into the value of the square bracket is 0 just we have find the both. So, this is equal to 0 and anything multiplied by 0 is 0 therefore our answer is just q terms equal to 0. So, this completes the session take care and have a good day.


Most of us know that cryptocurrency investing can be risky from famous people getting sued for promoting scams to the small scale scammers here on YouTube. And let's not forget about the crypto queen that scams her sim fan base with endless pump and dumps. But those are rookie numbers compared to the other crypto queen that scammed people for billions with a B. I think you get the point. There are a lot of scams in crypto. They scammed you. See, they tricked But while these do seem like pretty obvious scams, there are many mistakes that I see beginners making over and over again. And that is what this video is all about. We're going to be going over what those mistakes are and how you can avoid them. So the first mistake is not investing at all. And it's very important that you start investing while you're still young, even if it's just a little bit. Now with many stock brokerages, they require you to invest quite a bit just to get started investing. And it actually used to be a lot worse 10 years ago, you'd probably need at least $10,000 to get started investing. And because of this, most normal, you know, lower middle class hardworking people wouldn't start investing until they were in their 30s. And because of this, they would literally lose out on millions of dollars in compound interest. And if you don't believe me, go look at a compound interest calculator and start investing, say like $100 a week at the age of 18 versus $100 a week at the age of 35. And you will see that by the end of their life, the difference is going to be in the millions of dollars. But with cryptocurrency, you really don't need much, you can get started with $100 or less. In fact, there are promotional opportunities where you can win up to $10,000 into free crypto and stocks. You've probably heard of these. If you haven't signed up yet, you can find my links down in the description below. But yeah, it is easier than ever to get started investing and you should start even if it's just $5 a month. First of all, you're going to build the habit of investing because investing is a habit. You're also more likely to make a mistake, of course, when you first start. So you want to make those mistakes when you're not investing that much money and not later on when you have much more. Plus, you can only learn so much from watching content. Eventually you actually have to jump in and start investing yourself. Think about it like riding a bicycle. You can watch videos on how to ride a bike. You could read books about it. You could even hire an expert. But eventually you're just going to have to jump on the bicycle and try to ride it. There's really only so much you can learn without actually trying to ride it yourself. And the same thing goes for investing. And just from a human perspective, the fact that you could potentially get incredible returns from something like cryptocurrency at a young age where you don't have that much money makes it pretty enticing. And later on, you might decide to invest your money into a lot less riskier things like stocks or maybe index funds. And that's great. But the fact that you started at a young age is what matters. It's better to dip your toe in now than to wait until you're 35 before you start investing. Number two on the list is going to be not having a goal, a plan and a strategy. Now, there's a lot of different investing strategies out there. Every YouTube channel is going to have their favorite. You know, some people think you should just put all of your money into index funds. I happen to think that's a pretty good strategy. But a lot of other smart people think that you shouldn't just invest in index funds and stocks because of the fact that the government has so much control over those industries. And if the government is extremely irresponsible and they print too much money, for instance, a lot of those industries might suffer. But this is not going to be a video discussing strategies. The important thing is that you do have a strategy yourself. So the best way to do this is to start off with a goal. And you need to kind of evaluate your life situation and things that are specific to you. So for instance, some people are minimalist, they don't really need much to live. And so they would be able to very comfortably retire on less than a million dollars. Others might want to live in really expensive cities, drive really nice cars. And for that, you're going to need several million dollars at least to retire. After you figured out what your goal is, you need to figure out a plan in order to get to that goal. So how much do you need to invest every single year? How long would that take in order to get to your goal? Maybe you want to retire when you're 65 or you want to retire early. Maybe you know where you want to retire. So it would be a good idea to buy a bunch of real estate there because it would be a lot easier to manage.  These are all things you need to keep in mind. Now after you figured out what your plan is, then you want to make a strategy in order to get there. Some people really like real estate, index funds, cryptocurrency, there's a lot of different strategies out there. But the important thing is that you have a strategy that you really believe in because you've researched it and that will bring conviction. And without conviction, you are going to panic sell anytime something goes slightly wrong. And I know a lot of people out there probably think I know this already. I know this is super important, but I have seen experienced investors. In fact, some of my own friends think that they have conviction and then they panic sell at the worst possible time. And me and this friend would laugh at other people who did this and then something happened in the market. He freaked out any panic sold. And of course it wasn't the right call. And if you look at the YouTube landscape and the influencer landscape, we are seeing a lot of people doing this right now where they are panic selling. I sleep really well every night. I pretty much never worry about the markets. And the reason for that is because my investing strategy is long term. Now for conviction, it really does help to have good information guidance and a support group. And that's exactly what you'll be getting with my Patreon. You can find that link down in the description below where you will get access to my buys, my sales and a group of private investors as well as a private discord. Now, when it comes to formulating a goal, plan and strategy, it really helps that you do what's known as your own due diligence. And this is number three on the list is where I see people getting bad information and not doing due diligence. So I don't think there's anything wrong with listening to other people's opinions. And in fact, I actually listen to people who have opposite opinions on things because I basically want to play doubles advocate and see if there's any problem with my personal investing philosophy. So for instance, I listened to really smart people who think hyperinflation is coming and it's going to be a huge deal. It's going to break the economy. And then I also listen to people who think that inflation isn't that big of a deal. Now I am definitely more on the hyperinflation side. I think it's getting really serious and out of control. But if you honestly listen to the opinion of people that think inflation is not that big of a deal, you'll see that it's not as crazy as it might sound.  So what I personally recommend you do is when you're thinking about investing in something or not investing in something, what you want to do is do your own due diligence first and then listen to what everyone else has to say. This is almost like with multiple choice questions where after you read the prompt, you want to actually try to answer the question yourself before you look at A, B, C and D. And usually the answer that you come up with, if you've studied is going to be the right answer. Whereas if you read the answer choices first, you might psych yourself out and convince yourself that a wrong answer is the right one. But let's say you find someone who is spot on with their assessments, they have access to really good tools, they present really good information, and they're also able to educate and explain things in a way that is really easy to understand. You still need to do your own research, which is number four on the list. A huge mistake I see people make is not doing their own research. Doing your own research is difficult and time consuming, but it's also very important for any investment that you make. And this is why I like long-term investing because I do my research on some type of index fund stock or cryptocurrency. And then I just hold it for the long term. So I don't have to do the research all that often.  And even if you think your source of information is good, always make sure to double check that info. So for instance, the other day I was on Coinbase, I was looking at one of my investments and I noticed that the price was half of what it should have been. And for a split second, I panicked. I thought that something huge, some news came out and my investment flash crashed. But it turns out it was just simply a UI error with Coinbase. They were just simply wrong. Now I could have maybe not had strong conviction or freaked out and panic sold it. Now Coinbase is usually a reliable and trustworthy source. And if someone like them can be wrong about something as simple as the price of an asset, imagine what else they could be wrong about. So this is why you always want to check multiple sources. And if you look at other people's due diligence, always make sure to double check their work as well, even if they've been right and they've been amazing in the past. I really get saying that I like to live by when it comes to investing and kind of just life in general is trust, but verify. Now this video is not about how to do analysis, but the three main types are going to be fundamental analysis, sentiment analysis, and technical analysis. In my opinion, the most important one, especially when it comes to stocks is fundamental analysis. But I'm not one of those people who totally discounts technical or sentiment analysis either. I think they're very important to understand as well. The next one on the list is going to be FUD and FOMO. FUD stands for fear, uncertainty and despair. And FOMO stands for fear of missing out. And these are two very common emotions that you'll see time and time again and investing the result in you doing the exact opposite of what you want to. So in investing, you want to buy low and sell high. FUD and FOMO cause you to buy high and sell low. FOMO in my opinion is the most dangerous one because realistically speaking, you're much more likely to hear about an investment after it's already had most of its gains. So if an investment goes up like three times or five times, something like that, you're probably going to hear about it because news outlets are going to be writing about it. People are going to be talking about it. And that is usually the worst time for you to invest. FUD is also dangerous as well, because you might think that your investment is going to go to zero when in reality it's just a slight correction. And oftentimes if your investment has gone down quite a bit, that might actually be the best time for you to buy. Now one way you can totally avoid having to worry about this that I highly recommend is doing what's known as dollar cost averaging. This means that if you have $10,000 to invest, instead of putting it all in right now, you can put $1,000 per month over a 10 month period. And because of this, it's going to reduce your risk, you're not going to be trying to time the market. And it won't matter all that much, whether the stock goes up or down, as long as you did your research on it, you know that it has solid fundamentals and over the long run, it's likely going to go up. The next mistake that I see all the time is not understanding supply and how it relates to value. So a lot of people remember how Bitcoin used to be one cent and now it's well into the tens of thousands of dollars. And they think, you know what, I missed the boat on Bitcoin, but there's a lot of other cryptocurrencies that are less than one cent and they might do the same exact thing. So I'm going to invest in those. Now this usually isn't the case. And all you really have to do is look at the market cap of the coin and how that relates to the different types of supply. Now there is a max supply, a total supply and a circulating supply. And let's go ahead and look at Bitcoin. So you can see which one is which. So with Bitcoin, when I was writing the script for this video, the circulating supply was 18,922,000. The max supply was 21 million. And the total supply was 18,922,000 as well. The max supply is the maximum amount of coins that will ever exist. So in Bitcoin's case, there will only ever be a maximum of 21 million Bitcoins. The total supply is the amount of coins that have already been created. So in Bitcoin's case, it's 18,922,000. And then the circulating supply is the amount of coins that are circulating on the market. So in Bitcoin's case, the total supply and the circulating supply are the same, 18 million and 922,000. With many coins, those are not going to be the same because the creator of the coin will decide to withhold a certain amount. And then some coins have a total supply that is in the trillions. And that's about 28 million times higher than the supply of Bitcoin. So basically what that means is this coin will never get anywhere near the price of Bitcoin unless its market cap is 28 million times larger than Bitcoin is. And realistically it's much better to just look at the market cap of the coin in order to determine its value. And this brings me to the next mistake. And that is investing in random alt coins to try to get 1000X returns. Now at the time of creating this video, there is over 16,000 different crypto currencies. And for every one crypto that 1000X is, there are hundreds that end up losing money. But it actually gets worse than that because just like most companies in the computer boom or the dotcom bubble went to zero, most cryptocurrencies are also going to go to zero. And that means that investors in those cryptocurrencies will likely lose all their money. So it's incredibly risky to try to pick alt coins that are going to 1000X. At the very least, if you do this, make sure to heavily diversify your portfolio. So it's a much better option to, first of all, make sure to do your research on the cryptocurrency. Make sure you know what problem it solves and understand the fundamental underlying technology that makes this cryptocurrency better than others. You also want to look at the team behind the cryptocurrency as well as the community. And then after you've done that, you want to invest for the long term. And the best way to do it is probably just to dollar cost average in. And then you also want to make sure to diversify your portfolio. Don't just go all in on one of them. Now don't get me wrong. Everyone throws a little bit of money in here and there at random cryptocurrencies. And I've done it as well. I'm guilty. But that was money that I was 100% willing to lose. And I truly did not care about it. I was probably just going to blow it on something that I didn't need anyways. Number eight on the list is going to be buying and selling too much and too often. And this is also known as trading. Now I'm not totally against trading, especially when it comes to cryptocurrency. It's a pretty new market. And I think if you're really good at it, you can be successful. So for instance, Sam Bankman freed worked in Forex when he worked on Wall Street. And then he used his knowledge from trading to figure out how to make a million dollars a day with cryptocurrency. And basically what he did is he noticed there was a discrepancy in the price of cryptocurrency in Japan versus the United States. In Japan, it was going for 11,000 in the US. It was 10,000. And so he would just buy a bunch of cryptocurrency in the US and then sell it in Japan. So if you're incredibly experienced, you know what you're doing. You're like a professional basically sometimes that can work out. And I have seen people be successful with that when it comes to cryptocurrency trading. But with that being said, it's basically a full-time job. If you're trading, this is not investing where you can do it passively. And there are many reasons to invest rather than trade. First of all, when you trade, you're going to be paying short-term capital gains tax versus when you invest over a year, long-term investing, you'll be paying long-term capital gains. So I'll put a chart up on the screen that I found that I liked from last year from Financial Samurai. And you can see that depending on how much you're investing, it's going to be a difference of somewhere between 10 and 17%. And over the long run, those taxes are really going to add up. On top of that, fees for trading are going to be much higher because you're constantly entering and exiting positions. And every time you do that, you're going to be paying fees. Now, if you've ever spent any time around subreddits like Wall Street bets, for instance, you see that people end up losing a lot of money doing this. Many of them get into margin trading or option trading, which can be incredibly risky. And they might end up losing hundreds of thousands of dollars. There are dozens of examples that you can look at. Number nine, and this is something that I have seen even experienced investors do, and that is not protecting your cryptocurrency.  You also want to make sure you write down your private key. Now you want to have this stored in a very safe place that only you know about. And optimally, you want to store it in several different places.  On top of that, you also want to have two factor authentication enabled. If somehow your account gets hacked, if you have two factor authentication enabled, I know it's super annoying, but that is going to save you. And it's definitely worth it for you to always enable that. And then another thing you want to do is always double and triple check your transactions and then send a test transaction first. The reason for this is because if you accidentally send like Ethereum to a Bitcoin wallet, you just lost that Ethereum. So let's say you have several different tabs open and you accidentally click on the wrong tab and it's a Bitcoin wallet instead of an Ethereum wallet. It's really easy to accidentally do that. So how to save yourself from experiencing this, especially if you are transferring a large amount of cryptocurrency is send a super quick little $1 test transaction. And again, these are all mistakes that I have seen experienced investors make, not just newbies. So really, it's totally worth it for you to do this. Always do it, especially if you're transferring a large amount of money. And then the number 10 mistake that I have seen many, many times is no diversification or too much diversification. Now, first of all, I am a huge fan of cryptocurrency, of course, but when it comes to investing, you shouldn't just be putting all of your money into crypto, you should be diversifying outside of cryptocurrency as well. You also should have an emergency fund. This is basically where you can live for three to six months, at least off of money that you have stored somewhere. And you really shouldn't buy more than you can afford to lose as well. So if the economy goes down or crypto is not doing as well as you think it is for a few years, you really should keep a good amount of money stored on you so that you don't have to sell your positions, because that's when the huge losses are taken. If you run out of money in real life and you have to sell your position when it's down 90%, that's like throwing money into a fire. Now, when it comes to too much diversification, I've seen it where people will basically put their money in like hundreds or thousands of different cryptocurrencies to the point where they can't even track all of it. And they also really haven't done any research on those. So I'm not really a big fan of doing that. I think that you should only invest in cryptocurrencies in projects that you really believe in. Now, I have a different philosophy when it comes to stocks, I really like index funds and ETFs that just automatically diversify your money for you. But cryptocurrency is a completely different market from stocks and the same rules do not apply. Now, if you enjoyed my research and my content here, you'll probably also enjoy this video right here.
