Okay, welcome back. Okay, so we were, we looked into frame of reference. Let's do a bit of practice. Okay. And what we're going to do is there are there are certain sentences statements taken out of certain counseling excerpts and just put that in here. How do you enter into the frame of reference? Okay, here again, please focus on first person responses. First person means you're talking, your sentence starts with, I mean, you're in a conversation with the person. Okay, so that's what a first person response means. So let's look at some examples and this is practice. So it's just for us to learn.  Okay, so the first one. I'm worried sick, I don't sleep well, and I'm afraid for the kids, we're so short of money, and my husband has started to drink again. How do you enter into the internal frame of reference? What would you say that helps the counseling know that you are responding or you've understood them or you have entered into their frame of reference as a counseling jargon. Okay, but what it means is just entering into their world. What would you say? Okay, this is examples. I mean, this is a practice. Okay, so Oh, you must be worried and fearful.  So good job in understanding that they're worried and they're fearful, but it needs to follow with what they are worried or fearful about, because only when you're able to connect the two, are you able to initiate them into a further point of action. Okay, so something like, you know, you seem you seem really worried and fearful about the future of your family. Okay, so that is something that is or or you must be worried and fearful about what's going to happen in future or what is going to be the what is going to be about you tomorrow. So something that really connects to what you are fearful and worried about. That's a good attempt. Yes, dear, the situation looks challenging and I understand your concern. Okay, so here also get to she said I'm worried sick. Okay, so what would that mean? What would this I'm worried sick mean is that there's a sense of high levels of anxiety. There's maybe fear. There's a sense of she's also said, you know, I don't sleep well. We're short of money. There is a sense of insecurity that she has. So express that bring about those words as you are put putting that up. Okay. So someone said since when, dear, remember, we are talking about entering into the frame of reference. The questions have a place, but give it time. Alright, you want the person to really talk about what's going on. So express the feeling that they are trying to express to you rose. Okay, there's another response. I'm hearing you express feelings of helplessness and insecurity about your current situation. Great. Here again, feelings have come about, but you may need to identify one certain aspect of the situation. You feel helpless and insecure about the way that that that you know money is being spent because your husband's drinking. So that that's that's a situation that you may need to add in. You seem to be in a difficult situation. I would like to help you. Okay. So here again, the feeling you should try and assess what the feeling is. You know, maybe when we use words like it's difficult for you. It's hard for you. Yes, the situation is hard. But what we want to capture is the feeling. Okay.  Okay, great. Okay. So what I hear you saying is that you are concerned, worried, troubled about your children and their addiction, his addiction. Okay, it's genuine. You are worried. Yes, it's hard to take. Do you have any thoughts on how you can, how we can solve this. Now, this is a good one. However, we have not spent enough time to it's called grounding, you know, to really help the person explore more of what she's feeling. We do not want to get into solution and solving right at the first minute or when they are talking. Okay. So you will want to spend some more time in having them express what else they are feeling and what else they're going through. And this comes later and you're moving them into action a little bit later. But remember that the first point of it is to establish that I have understood what you're really saying or what you're going through. And you need to play on that a little bit more. But excellent. Very good efforts. Anybody else? Okay, we'll probably move on to the next one. And you could try this one. Okay.  Don't they realize I have feelings too? What would your response be here?  Don't they realize I have feelings too? Responses to this. So think about some feeling words. What are some feeling words you can use here? You feel alone because they don't understand you. Okay. All right. More than loneliness. Okay. This is a good one. However, I'm trying to figure out what is the actual emotion that he's talking about here. Do not worry. I will show you how to deal with them. Kennedy, I hope that was a joke. Okay. Somebody said, oh, that can be humiliating. I think it's what. Intimidating. Okay. Yeah. Okay. Good. So you feel intimidated when they when they tease you. Very good. Okay. Okay. There's it's immature not to think you it's sorry it's immature not to think that you have feelings. Okay. All right. This is more about okay. So what what here what you're stating is the feeling of the people who are teasing him. You want to focus on the person. So, you know, maybe rewording that is good. Okay. It's not good. Okay. Okay. So we got to be careful not to probably make like like a like a like a remark on whether what is happening is good or bad. Okay. But you can say that you sense that it is it's definitely not good because I know in this it sounds as if it's not good but you know there may be certain occasions to you it sounds really bad but for them it may be a good thing maybe not in this situation but so you got to be careful of how you respond to that. Is the counselor a male or a female. I'm I don't I mean I don't remember actually but yeah would that would that matter. Would would that matter to your response.  Okay that's good. What you're expressing to me is that boys who tease you are insensitive to your feelings right yeah that's that's a good way. Okay, you are actually checking whether that's exactly the way that they're feeling. There is a feeling of embarrassment so yeah you may need to put that out in a in a sentence so that it really helps that's really inhuman and rude to tease. Okay now even again here it's from your frame of reference. Alright maybe it is true it's exactly what the person's feeling but it's it's it's more like a judgment that's being made but what we're looking at is to to to to elicit the feeling so maybe something that you feel that that was really rude or inhuman of them to do so so you're actually checking that. Does it feel because for you this sounds really inhuman and rude but you're attempting to check that with them so maybe a rephrasing that you know you feel that it may be really inhuman or rude that the boys are doing that to you. You feel that they've been insensitive to what you've been going through. Okay.  Okay excellent very good. Okay maybe we'll take just one more example. Okay, we'll try this again. Damn it.  Okay. Alright, so I'll read out some of the. I'm adding one or two of the things that we had someone saying you shouldn't be calling him names or even swearing that is a nice of you in the first place. Okay, there was one response like that that that we had. Yeah. What how would you like to respond to this. Okay. Yeah, how would you want to respond to this. You know, I think I just want to make a comment here recently something that you know there was a there was a client who a counselor Lee who sorry I keep using this because you know in our in our secular education it's always client client and apologies. Okay, so there was this counselor Lee who came to me and he's talking about some issue and he used certain swear words.  This is not meant to you just showing you how frustrated I am, you know, so it's not that they are not cognizant about it when they use, you know, that language or when they use words as they're speaking. And that's one of the things that they are also aware of that, you know, so it's almost like a plea and even if I'm saying this please accept me for who I am. You know, don't take me for the words that I'm speaking. Right. So, yeah, how do you respond to this I just wanted to say that on the side. Yeah, last one come on. You feel your boss makes you do all the work and does not give you enough credit for it. Okay, very good. Very good. All right. Is it necessary it has to be his boss or her boss. Yeah, it could be anything. So, yeah, you may not really. I mean, the person may depending on you know your conversation you will understand but it could be anything. Yeah, it's difficult to work and handle this you must be irritated. Okay, very good. You seem to be stressed out. Okay. All right, so that a couple of things. Okay, you seem to be stressed out because your job is hard enough and you find it extremely stressful working with this person. Right. So, there are there are a couple of things. Okay, so I think you've got the flow. Right. Being careful to enter into the frame of reference of the individual so that you can respond from there. Now we're going to this is going to you know we're going to be really working a lot on this because this your responses are really what matters. Okay, Shay said what you're telling me is that you feel very upset with your colleague with the way he does his work right. Okay, good. All right, I like that Shay where you and that's something that you generally do is to your checking whether they whether you have understood them well. And that's why you would say you know what I hear you saying is this and is that right you know so and they say yeah absolutely you hit the nail on its head or you caught it exactly and that gives you the confidence that okay you've you've entered into their into their frame of reference. Okay, great. Okay, so let's let's move ahead. So, you know, as we work through through these through the through the counseling process we've spoken about the frame of reference. Remember we're now all that we are doing this this entire of understanding a frame of frame of reference goes along in whatever approach you use so in counseling or in secular counseling there are very many models that you one would use as they help in counseling. And one of the most frequently used model is the the it's called the rational emotive therapy or it's just called the ABC DE model okay just for easier ones easier understanding and this model is based on this idea that how you think how you feel. And how you act all interact together we did this partly in our class on emotional wholeness okay now and because this is this is something you know Paul talks about of renewing your mind. And it's just that people in the psychology field has just got some good name to that but the principle is very very is what Paul spoke about right renewing your mind. So what this model talks about is it is the thoughts that determine the feelings and thereafter determines our behavior, which again strengthens the same very thought so negative unrealistic thoughts can cause distress and result in problems. So when a person is suffering from some distress the way in which they interpret the situation becomes very skewed and in turn this has a negative impact on the way they feel and the way they behave. So this model aims people or even when you're working in in counseling to make people aware of when they make negative interpretations and how behavioral patterns will again reinforce this wrong thinking. So it helps helps them to understand and develop different ways of thinking and behaving which actually will help to reduce these the distress that they're feeling. Okay, so I'm going to help you with this model and we'll do a couple of examples as well so that you know we can understand this better. So when we look at this model it's called the ABCDE model. It represents a tool and this was created by a person by name Albert Ellis, which was to help counselors identify their irrational beliefs or self or the defeating thoughts that they may be having and how it becomes dysfunctional in them. Okay, so the ABCDE stands for it's an it's an acronym. Okay, so the A stands for an event for an activating event. It can be a situation. It can be an adversity. It can be a crisis in a personal relationship. It can be a development. It can be anything it can be a situation that happens. It can be maybe like for example the death of a person. It can be marriage. It can be what somebody says. It can be being put in a certain situation. It can be job dissatisfaction. It can be absolutely anything A represents any event activating event something that activates this process. Okay, the B stands for the beliefs. The B stands for the the way they think the person thinks about this certain event. So they there are we you know if you notice that there are certain beliefs that we build over over different things you know over over these events or an adversity there are beliefs that we have. And these beliefs can come from very many sources. It can come from your upbringing from your culture from your personality from the word it can come from many things. So it really depends on where the focus is. So any event brings about a certain thought and that creates a certain belief in us as individuals. So that's the B part of it. The C is the consequences. Okay, now these consequences it can be emotional consequences and these thoughts these beliefs that you have cause certain consequences. So a belief develops an emotional component after it gets practiced repeatedly. Okay, like for example, if you have a belief that you're good for nothing, it is going to bring about an emotional component of underconfidence. And when you practice this belief daily, it becomes almost one to another it gets related it becomes like a self fulfilling prophecy. Okay, the more that you believe that the more kind of consequence you're going to the more that you believe you don't have a con you don't have confidence that are going to be consequences that are exactly true to that. Okay, B is the dispute where you are disputing or you are negating the B, which is often those irrational beliefs. So it consists of challenging those beliefs as directly as possible. Okay, so B is disputing or negating or challenging the thoughts or the beliefs that you've had about this event, so that you are led to E, which is a new way or an effective new belief or an effective new approach to this problem. So it is an effective approach that replaces a certain belief that you've had so replacing irrational thoughts and fears become what becomes that's what you're doing in dispute while you're disputing. And it works in developing a new way of thinking and a new way of behavior. Okay, so this APCDE is based on this relationship between a new way of thinking and a new way of thinking. And it works in developing a new way of thinking and a new way of behavior. Okay, so this APCDE is based on this relationship that helps people to focus on their goals in a structured and a systematic manner. Okay, remember not always this is followed in order. Okay, and sometimes it often is sometimes difficult to distinguish between the consequences and the beliefs. Okay, because beliefs often tend to be confused with feelings, because they all they work so hand in hand, it gets it often gets confused. Okay, so let's take let me take an example and, you know, work through this alongside with you. So let's say the event is maybe a student doesn't get selected in a maybe in a team. Okay, or let's say the choir after her audition. Okay, the student doesn't get admitted. Sorry, selected for the choir in after the audition. So that's the a the event a has led to the thought, which is be I have a terrible voice, and I'm never going to be good at singing. So it's the belief that this girl has made for her rejection in the choir. Now this is becomes the belief, which results in the consequence that the she is sad about her singing and gives up practice practicing, instead of continuing to work on it. Okay, so I hope you saw the saw the flow. Now. So what is the a the activating event is that she thinks she's made a mistake and that's why she's not chosen in the choir. The belief is that she says she's a failure, and that she's not good at anything, and she accepts it she accepts it quite uncritical she doesn't even think irrationally about it she accepts it so yeah, this is what it is. And the consequence is that she feels awful about this mistake, and about herself, and maybe leading to sad depressive thoughts, making it tough for her to even practice or even try again. Okay, now when we help a person realize that they are not a victim in this process, but they can do something about this be part of the model. And that it is important that they don't accept that this thought is true. Okay, and even as I'm saying this think about all of the scripturally. Okay, God's given us gifts and gifts to build us. Okay, so she what she's does doing here is she's accepting that this belief is true that she's good for nothing. And, but she's when when you open it up to her saying that you know, this is what renewing of the mind is thinking about something differently. And it's just a thought, and you treat it as such but go hold back to the truth. Alright, so when you're doing that, let's come to D so you're helping her dispute is your quest helping to question the thought. When you question the thought. She tells maybe she's telling herself that yeah, everyone makes mistake and all because you make one mistake does not mean that you're worthless or good for nothing. Right, so you're disputing that thought all because there's been a mistake in the way she sang. It doesn't mean that one mistake makes you completely not good for anything or outside of your purpose. Alright, and this leads to E, which is the new effect. She accepts that everyone makes mistakes, replaces this negative belief with a positive thought. And she commits to learning from the mistake and trying again in future she says okay everyone makes mistake maybe I should just work a bit more harder. Okay, or I should work on this piece a little more or I should build myself in this key, the skill. Okay, so you can see this work happening in D. D is the place where you help the council realize that the thoughts sometimes are simply wrong and your own thoughts or something that that isn't in tune with God's word isn't in tune with, you know. So there is this all or none law either it's it should be I should be selected all the time or if I'm not selected, you know, I'm bad forever that these don't determine these these things or these these events don't really determine who she is. So she takes control by rejecting that thought and replacing it with a more positive thought. Okay, I hope that's clear. I hope that's understood. Okay, so let me let me I think I will just go on to one more example. And, okay, let's look at another example here. Okay. Here is this is this is about a son and a father. Okay, the son returns home and goes to the room without speaking. That's the event. That's what's happened. The 18 year old son has entered the home and does not say anything and goes without speaking. So what is the thought that is generated in the mother or the father's mind is he's so ungrateful and discourteous. Okay. And where is this coming from probably from an attitude or a belief or opinion or as a result of an expectation that there is a belief that says this is how my son is my son is always rude. My son is not Curtis. He's ungrateful. So that's what has fed. There's a belief that's fed in to this thought. And you will see that this thought has a consequent feeling which is a anger that is anger that comes up. Okay.  So there is a behavioral consequence as well. And that leads to E1. What is the effect both get angry both withdraw and the relationship is damaged. But whereas when you are disputing it look at D you are stopping and you are disputing that thought you are reframing the thought or you are renewing your thought and asking yourself. Am I just going to jump to these conclusions? Could there be a possible alternative explanation? Maybe he's had a rough day. Maybe there's something that's bothering him. And that thought or belief changes the consequence. So this father goes to the son's room and has a friendly chat with them and not, you know, doesn't bark with them. You know, you don't even say hi to me or, you know, when you think this is a hotel, you just keep coming in, you know, those are, that's what would have happened in C1. But in C2 maybe it's like, son, how was your day? You seem to be tired. You seem to be would you like to talk? Right. So that comes with a change in the belief or change in the thought that leads to a new effect. There is a relationship that's built, there's confidence, there's trust and both seem happy. Okay. Does this make sense? Does this help? Awesome. Great. Okay. Now, this is very, very useful for us, for each one of us. Okay.  And this is what you are helping your counselling, because very often they have had the thoughts or the beliefs that they come with are so skewed that it affects every part of their lives. Okay. And helping them see this model really gets them to work on these areas, especially the area of their belief systems and what they are thinking. All right. So what I, quickly, okay, I'd like maybe one or two of you to take us through this model with an example.  But now we have a huge, you know, you understand this better. And this is something that we use even with counsellors. So what one or two of you just help in sharing this model, something that you've used to work through this, anybody, anybody. And I think it's more helpful when one of you all talk, rather than me bringing up examples all the time, something that's more personal to you. Yeah. The stage is open. We have 10 minutes. And let's use this time to hear. Ma'am, I will try. Yes, if I'm hitting the mark, but something that comes to my mind is that during lockdown, when, when, you know, my husband was home and working. And all the time when I could understand the kind of work he does in the office because for years he's been going to office. He comes back, he's tired, exhausted, and not even a mood to say good evening, you know, when he entered home because of traveling 20 kilometers after the work. And I didn't understand, like, we have fresh home waiting and the person is not in a mood to even say hello and being told to do something or, you know, he has his frame of mind. But during lockdown, we saw that the how, how they have been, you know, in the office, what kinds of challenges they are facing and how they are, you know, really working behind those walls. And it's such a challenging job for them in a corporate world to, you know, get the orders and get things at right perspective. And that by the end of the day, when they come home, they just want to be themselves and they just want that. So renewing our mind in the sense that when I understood that it is tough for him.  And when he comes home, you know, he just wants to be quiet for a while. A glass of water can help him and just sit close to him and just, you know, give him a chance to speak if he has something to say. And then when he feels like eating, go and cook chapatis for him and serve him. And sometimes, you know, that helped me understand his perspective and help him, you know, de-burden himself when he's home. So I don't know if I'm, I'm answering the question, but something that I have understood through the, through these last two years has been significantly changed our relationship as well. So what was your initial belief of me? You know, ma'am, we would think that he would come back home. So when we are happy seeing him, he would be very happy seeing us. And, you know, we have something to tell him and that whatever we want to tell him, you know, he would be happily listening to my story of the day.   Because those days we were fond of television and we just wanted to be, he wants to be before the television and I want to sleep. So I am upset because the voice is not giving me that time to sleep or something like, you know, was always there. But slowly we understood that it's not the way, my way is not the right way. Right. So I think to help this. So she said the activating event is her husband coming back home every evening and not maybe talking or not spending time. Probably the initial belief was, you know, he's lost in his old, old world, he doesn't care. He doesn't want to talk. Okay. And the consequent behavior of feeling is a sense of maybe sadness, anger, irritation. But the dispute, the D has come in with thinking with seeing, I mean, I think this has happened with some clarity in the way that she, Avni has probably changed the way she's looked at it. So she said, okay, there's a lot of things that he does. He just needs some time to relax, just time on his own. So that's a change in the way that she has, you know, she's disputed that. And consequently, it's been a more supportive experience where she's understood to give him that time. And then the effect has been a more positive relationship. Very good, Avni. Thank you. Thank you. Anybody else?  So was it a mistake? Yes, Prabhakar. Go ahead. So this is an event happened to my friend personally. I've been with him to counseling. So he was in love with a girl. So she left him and went. He was very broken and all that. So we went to this morning pastor. He said to him, because she left, your value doesn't change. He gave an example. He said, suppose a currency, somebody crushes it and puts it in a dustbin. It doesn't lose its value. Even if you take from the dustbin and give it to the store, it still has a value. So somebody leaves you and go, it doesn't mean your value is changed. It's because they haven't recognized your value. So that thought, he was thinking that he's a failure. He was not good and all that. But when they, when he said your value hasn't changed because somebody left, he's happily married and he's good. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you, Prabhakar. Great example. Yeah, absolutely. Good. Anybody else? Yes, Anita. Go ahead. It was, I will just say that it was about a misunderstanding. Actually, like my mother-in-law and there is something happening between like her son and her. And then she was like upset and she told me like, how can he abuse me like this and all. And I was totally unaware about the incidents. What happened actually? The word abuse, like I was, I kept thinking what she means by abuse, abuse, abuse. What did he do like that? And then like, then what happened? Like I asked her what happened and all that. I asked my husband and he was like, something happened. But it was like, she wanted to say that he made me upset and she did not know the right word to use because she's just learning, picking up on English and she used the wrong word.  So many thoughts ran into my mind. But instead of like, like take, carry it away by those thoughts and emotions and keeping it to me. I thought of like, disclosing it to my husband, talking it out with my husband and with her and understanding the situation. Then I understood, okay, her choice of word was wrong. It was not what she meant. Then I explained to her though, no, you should not talk like that. You should talk like that. This is when you say like that to anybody, it will mean like that. It would be a totally wrong thing. Like if I would have, I was then afterwards I was thinking if I would have not said like that. What kind of personality impact like how I would have her personality in my life. I would have like gassed it all wrong. And maybe I would have carried her like that only. And I would have not been so close to her any more. It would have like kind of put the partition in between me and my mother-in-law. So that's what happened. I don't know whether it is right. Absolutely. So what yours, the event was your mother-in-law sharing something with you. The belief was that, you know, that something is really wrong and the way that she saw it. The consequent feeling was there, but how you dispute it is you had a conversation. You had a conversation with your husband and you understood what the context was. So you were able to change the way that you saw her and consequently that the new effect was the new relationship. Excellent. Thank you. Thank you, Anita. Yes, Haddison. I think you have an example. All right. Good morning from here.  Okay.    Then at the end of the day, he looked at me, said, I'm Harrison.  But before he said it, he said, it does not know whether to say this in front of my wife. I was like, you know, there is a need enough for you to say whatever you want to say in front of her, because we are not different from, we're just one. So feel free to say what you want to say.  So, and, you know, why I ask that question is because when you know a person, then you will know how to address your point or something. So when you say, go upgrade your CV, upgrade it on what? So when he does not have a particular area on which you should go upgrade my CV, then for me, the point is business. So at the end of the day, I was like, okay, what is the top of this man? So I felt hot, but I didn't say anything.   So this thing, you know, kind of, you know, as funny as it could be, it affected me.   So at the end of the day, when I got that word, it was more like, you know, I had to reflect back on me to tell myself that Harrison, this is who you are.  So from that moment, you know, instead of me paying attention to the words that I had, I had to start reminding myself of who I was.  So I think, you know, for me this could also be an example, you know, to what we're discussing. Thank you. Thank you, Harrison. Thank you so much. Wonderful. I'm so glad that all of you have been able to look back at some part of your lives to see how you'll have used this. But if it's a new learning for some of you here, take this and look at ways as to what have been some of your strong beliefs about yourself, about other people, about situations, about God, and dispute that using scripture, using the word, using truth. And you will see how consequently it will change your behavior, change your emotions, thoughts, change your experiences in life. All right. Wonderful. Thank you so much for today. Could we have someone close with a word of prayer? Anybody, any of the students who can close with a word of prayer? Someone who hasn't prayed earlier, would love to hear your voices. I will pray. Yes, Mangi. Thank you. Heavenly Father, we thank you, Lord, for the wisdom and knowledge you've imparted, faster than George. And we thank you, Lord, that he is able to impart some knowledge into us, Lord, so that we may be useful in your kingdom, Lord. We may be those vessels of silver and vessels of gold, Lord. And we pray that you will put us to good use, Lord, so that we will help actually your kingdom forward. And we thank you, Jesus, that you will be with us again until we meet again to this class next Wednesday. We pray all this, Father, in your mighty name, Lord Jesus. Amen. Amen. Thank you, Mangi. Thank you, everyone. Have a good week ahead. We'll meet you next week. God bless each of you. Bye-bye. Thank you, ma'am.  Thank you. Thank you, ma'am.


So let's see if we can get the SD card working and then we can call this finished So over here, I have the machine running emutos with the lid off as is fairly obvious I have a card in each slot This one has got the palm of card in it and this one has the emutos card in it over here I have a logic probe which will light up a LED depending whether it sees a logic zero a logic one or If there's any activity so We've got here a pinout for the SD card So we should be able to see this one is chip select and It's currently at logic one, which means it's not asserted. This is active low Here we've got mozi which is data no activity as we expect Ground is logic zero is ground Vcc power is three point three volts, which is logic one clock no activity ground again Miso mastering slave out and no activity and the last one is not used in SPI mode so what we're going to do is to poke the card and See what if there's any activity on the lines What's almost certainly happened is that palm us has set up the hardware in a weird state Which my initialization code is failing to correct so it's likely to be something as simple as the clock's wrong or the pins aren't wired up to the GPIOs properly or and stuff like that So what we're going to do is just poke the card by doing dirs While looking at the various data lines and seeing what happens now first thing to test is whether the card is powered on so We've got chip select which is here. We expect that to be Unasserted logic one that means unasserted. So that's correct mozi no activity Ground is at zero that is ground Vcc is at one good. This means the card is powered on and Clock no activity a Ground again these ground and Miso no activity So that's pretty good for a start. It means the card is actually powered on so the next thing I suppose is Let's see what chip select does so Touch this to the chip select line dir And return Okay The blinking means that chip select is going high and low So we know that chip select is being strobed, which is correct right Mozi for activity master out slave in this is the Board talking to the card. Is it sending it commands? Yes, it is good Or rather not so good because I was kind of hoping that one of these things would be wrong. That'd be an easy fix Clock is 765 this one so logic zero We see activity clock is being strobed ground Miso Master in slave out. This is the card talking to the board. The card is not responding Okay, so either it's not wired up or We're sending some kind of incorrect data and the card is not recognizing it So I think I figured out what's going on now Here it is and you notice the card is not working And I've discovered that if I unplug the parmos card, it all works So let's take a look at these lines so we have Power on pin 4 This card is powered up this card is also powered up Chip selects on pin 1 D asserted Asserted hmm So let me see Mozi is on pin 2 So that's this one so we do a dir And You get activity do a dir you get activity Right what is happening is that both cards are being selected at the same time Which means that when we send commands to the first card The both cards respond at the same time and we get garbage So this ought to be a relatively easy fix we Just need to make sure that Firstly that both cards are powered down and I forgot to Make a note of what pins these were on Put B Right, we're gonna have to figure out what pins card zero are on Card one is on the other thing is that we want to make sure that The chip select line for card one this one is D asserted it is asserted more or less by accident In fact, we could have this card powered up, but the asserted and everything we find But let's just keep them powered off.  What's this read? request Set here we go So let's just make things a bit more visible So you thunk here is the code Um Bus awake should be actually doing. Yeah, here we go. Here it is fiddling with the bits pins No, it's not this is the The ST microcontroller Stuff Yeah, all right. Let's try this the other way. We know that the power line is on port B So go let's go look for PB sell Where is this used by? It apparently is used by this routine. Yes, I had misread this So the last thing it does is it powers up the card using PB and It is bit five So let's assume that for the other device. It's the same This is on port K and it is bit five So five SD card one power So, so this is all exactly the same PK you and I'm assuming that the other card is set up the same way with the same Transistor controlling the power All right power on card zero only that's fine So assertion We know that This is on PJ Bit three Did we remember to write that down we did not SD card zero Chip select So over here, this should be touching Port J which is here it is setting Not the bit. Oh, yeah, that is the right bit and oh This is the same chip select line that the SPI interface actually wants to be connected to they're using that GP IO For chip select, which presumably makes the wiring easier or something So the same code here is in pin port F bit to So port F bit to for the value for is SD card one chip select So this is actually Power off both cards Set up CS GPIOs and D assert both cards So this is conf this is concerned Only with this bit so That will be F F F F Three okay This will leave the other pins Unaffected so So we're going to do it in two passes so that this code Configures the chip select line sets it this code configures the SPI lines so this is going to now going to be port F and It's this is going to be One zero one one which is a D Yes Now the this code is also fiddling with some stuff in port D that I reckon Oh, yeah port D is the interrupt Port so Value of two is this so that's going to be SD cars zero interrupt And the same thing here is The next bit up SD card one IQ, but we're not using those Alright, so assuming I haven't cocked something up here. I think this ought to work. We don't have definition for PKP you and for to for for to or PF dear for two eight Okay, I'll just fix that warning invalid operands the binary star have int and What is wrong with that? Oh this one We go See sometimes uses really ridiculous error messages. Okay Let's give this a try and see if it works and unfortunately this will require turning the board upside down again Okay, here we go Dana run just start up the serial terminal Go bingo, it works and here we are at Atari toss I haven't calibrated the The touch screen so Now where did I put the stylus? I appear to have slightly lost it. It'll be on my desk somewhere So let's just use the stylus from my very expensive work issue pixel book 3, which is terrible. Okay How's this behaving? poorly Anyway That seems to be working now and it seems to be noticeably snappier Than than it was previously Alright, so let's I've got here a Benchmark program And you have run me this is core mark that is fairly well respected There's a lookup table of Atari ST values It takes a little while to run, but I will either fast-forward keep talking or jump-cut I Believe this is now running at Twice the clock speed. There we go Recline twice the clock speed that it was 5.5 iterations per second I Remember that was what it was doing last time. Let me just go look this up So a value of 5.5 is in fact the same value. I was getting before this puts this machine on a par with a 16 megahertz Vulcan or a whatever that is In terms of modern processors it comes in between a an Aptimal 80 mega and an MSP 430 which are both system on a chip ultra cheap tiny little processors running at 8 megahertz so clearly this this 68,000 is not that quick Interestingly, this is the same speed as it was before it just feels snappier when I'm using it so hmm It's possible parmos has configured some stuff. I don't know how to that makes things like the graphics better I'm not sure Also because I fiddled with these numbers The sd card is now running twice as fast as it was previously that will make anything No, wait, that that's wrong. That's running half as fast as it was previously So I think I actually want to put these back to where they were which is for actual data transfer as fast as possible, which isn't very fast, but the The clock rate used for identifying the sd card does need to be at about 250 kilohertz or else it won't work so let just Build and deploy that and make sure it still works and A interesting little quirk, which is that after resetting the Dana has now come up with its calibration screen. This is because Parmos is expecting the RAM to be preserved between boots and Of course every time I run parmos, it scribbles over the RAM. So you're going to calibrate this time No, it's not Hit the reset button. Hopefully it should skip the calibration So clearly when I ran core mark it Overwrote some of the magic numbers that let parmos know whether the RAM is consistent So it went through the full reset procedure Currently, I actually have this set to only use four megabytes of RAM because my reset script only seems to produce that much available I think I could probably Here we go. I think I could probably bump that to 8 meg if we're running from parmos because parmos has Configured it and of course now that it's reset. I don't have Dana run anymore So we have to re-sync it via USB like so and it's shown up So serial terminal go and Yep, the SD card now works good It's done I Mean there's a million bugs to fix well some bugs to fix and And tracing I need to remove But let's just turn the SD card tracing off Actually, let's just Okay Push done So here I have the Dana on the workbench so you can get a better look at it because now I can use like a real camera So here we are parmos if I run it by running the Dana run program it Boots the kernel and We get splash screen and we end up. We're at the gem desktop I now need to run the calibration tool and the easiest way to do that is via the command line So I'll do control Z Dana cowl This is still the oops. I touched twice. This is still the version with all the Debug messages in it. So I have to run that again Okay So exit back to gem and see whether the mouse pointer is even slightly accurate. Well, that's okay over there You can see it drifts way right over there and Going up and down makes it move diagonally and over here It's doing the horrible backwards motion thing But in the middle, it's all right and I can Should be able to open menus. It's not very Effective there we go. So it does actually kind of work And menu opening the closing is good and snapping as you can see It's uh No, I don't want to do anything there Cancel okay It's For a for a quasi Atari ST it is perfectly acceptable performance wise discs a bit slow if I Go hunting for software. I actually installed a bunch of Atari ST software on this including things like Cubase and various drawing packages Anlisp and Nearly all of them don't work The issue is that either They expect a bigger screen because this is only 560 by 160 which is shorter than a Atari ST screen And it's shorter than an Atari ST low res screen and narrower than Atari ST 80 column screen And the stuff that does accept the screen size Tends not to work because it talks directly to the hardware like Cubase But I did find first word plus here that runs So let's go and find that Can I run it by double-clicking now there's too much noise in the motion of the The mouse so we can at least select it and I can do control o to open it First word plus is a basic word processor that I believe got bundled with a lot of Atari STs It's actually not bad. I did a lot of writing in the And the Archimedes port of it. It's a character cell word processor, and I like these. I actually wrote my own Character cell word processor because I like these so much, but it's decent. It's nice Nice and nippy the cursor movement is a bit slow sometimes. I believe that's a bug in the Keyboard driver it also double presses a lot of times which is annoying, but Speed isn't bad Yeah, now you may notice that the window here is bigger than the screen size because this has been sized for a Probably 640 by 200 Atari monochrome display Unfortunately This has put the resize buttons over here somewhere where I can't get at them I can with a great deal of difficulty.  So I can't get at the controls which is somewhat irritating So I just have to live with it being the wrong size That did not work. Okay Well, it's not it's nearly on the left-hand side of the screen No, that was what I wanted There we go. So you can actually put the cursor off the bottom But Redraw speed is all right It it keeps up with my typing most of the time They it feels a bit laggy to use because of the keyboard issue. I mean you can see the The way the cursor is moving I'm just holding down the cursor key and One interesting aspect is if I use the keyboard mouse, which is done with the alt key to do outright see the Mouse pointer is moving in jerks, but the cursor is also moving Which means that sometimes it's Misinterpreting keys because it doesn't think that alt is down That is solely a bug in my code, which is like annoying. Oh Yeah, just to demonstrate that it will work. I installed a desktop accessory, which is this calculator These are terminating stay resident programs that get loaded at boot time and you can use them to provide Little utilities that they live in this left-hand menu here Which is how apparently has an Atari icon on it when it's in first word plus in the desktop It's just labeled desk and it's a you know, perfectly ordinary basic calculator. Ah, which apparently does not Okay, that works Yeah, it's a perfectly ordinary calculator You notice the menu of the title bar is slightly off the top of the screen Again, that is a issue with the screen size. You see how the window doesn't quite fit Now if I can manage to drag this come on There we go See it has truncated the title bar because it's it's moved to the window by just Blitting it around and the video memory and hasn't redrawn that bit You can trigger it to redraw and it will show up again. It's just Cosmetically annoying. Oh, yeah, another small issue is that while the menus work See how fast they open and close the The contents of the screen underneath the menu is cached in memory, which is nice Ah, I can't get it help never mind help overflows the right-hand side of the screen and Wraps around to the left-hand side of the screen, which is not brilliant Again on a machine with a bigger screen. This shouldn't be an issue Because first word plus thinks the screen is the wrong size Which is annoying Yeah, first word plus the stuff like graphics in it. It's reasonably well Well provisioned as word processors go If the other bugs were fixed then I could see myself actually using this thing With first word plus. It's a decent enough little word processor but As it is I'm afraid after playing with it for a while It's too buggy to be of much use things like the keyboard the biggest issue is there is no power control and This machine doesn't have an on-off switch. It's always powered up. I have this thing plugged in via USB And there's no battery in it plug it in it turns on Because of course it was intended to run palm ask which keeps all its data in RAM Which means if it powers down you lose all your data hence on all the time what it's got instead is power down modes and The power controller and the battery management is just nothing there. I haven't bothered with any of that Battery management is a little bit tricky because if you get it wrong you can do bad things like you know set fire to stuff so If there's interest I shall just wait for somebody else to be interested enough to work on that I think Anyway, let's quit out of this. Oh, yeah the IQ no The keyboard shortcuts aren't listed in the menus, which is annoying. I Don't know what they are in that of the manual Come on all the way to quit. There we go and Quit all and No, I don't care about that document and that takes us back to Gem the command line environment is Perfectly usable and pretty snappy. It understands the screen size so Command line tools will probably work fine on this if I managed to get all the memory working This machine has I believe 16 megabytes of RAM. So that's a pretty well-spec to tari ST And there's a whole suite of command line tools available including mint which is basically a series of massive Toss extensions that turn your Atari ST into a basic Unix machine with multi-tasking sockets and You know the born shell and so on and mint does a run on it on emu toss So it'd be quite possible to do a mint port to the Dana again gooey applications are still like intended for ordinary Atari toss gem and you still have the same screen problems But the command line environment will be perfectly usable Anyway, I am going to call this project finished. I think this has been rather too many episodes and Besides I'm going away on holiday soon won't be able to work on it So I'm going to do some tidying upload it all to github and send off a pool request to the emu toss people and Leave it at that. I Know there's been people who actually been watching these For some reason. I hope you all enjoyed it I'm going to work on other programming stuff in the future, but I'm going to take a good long break first So there should be some more workbench stuff Anyway, I hope you enjoyed this video and all the rest in the series. Please let me know what you think in the comments


What are the other advantages of this area? Why we must come together? Why such kind of initiative should be repeated? This is a thinking population. Just imagine the different part of the world. Civilization came up, civilized and vanished. But with all the challenges, with all the natural calamities, in this part of the globe, there is a population. Because for me, as a student of social science, there is one of the primary findings of my study. Because this part of the world, the people are thinking people. They always fight with the nature. They always find a way out. How can we survive? Survival instinct is to create them the new innovators. This is a thinking society. There is no dearth of natural resource. With mineral resource, with forestry, with water resource. With fertile land, there is no dearth of natural resource. There is no dearth of skilled manpower. You go to any part of the world, any part of this area. Any part of this area. I am, with the permission of our high commissioner, I am tempted to crushing the boundary of India. When we are talking about Purvadeya, Purvadeya cannot be envisioned without taking care of the economic interest of our neighbors. Neighbors, our reality, coincidentally, all our neighbors are in good terms with each other. They all are prospering. When I was in charge of petroleum ministry, our high commissioner was mentioning about high-speed diesel pipeline up to Parvatipur. This high commissioner, I am the fortunate administrator in those days. I personally took initiative, I had been to Bangladesh and we have finalized the agreement from Siligudi to Parvatipur, pipeline by Bharat Petroleum Corporation. I am grateful to Bangladesh. Bangladesh is providing a way to India for its connectivity to the north-eastern part of the country. We are getting tower access through, frequency access through Bangladesh to have a quality connectivity to the north-eastern part of our country. This is cooperation. Just remember a few days back, a few months back, one tourist cruise started its journey from Banaras. It went up to Dibrogarh, it is crossing through Bangladesh. This is connectivity. Whenever in the eastern part of, in the north-eastern part of India, we have to build a big project. We have to take cooperation of Bangladesh to cross over the big machinery through Bangladesh. They give permission to us. This is connectivity. If you go to Siligudi, you will find a square. The point is known as the square zero. From there, you will get a road access up to Sithwa port in the Kalidhan river, up to the Kalidhan river of Myanmar. It crossed through Bangladesh. It starts from Bhutan or Nepal. It connects Nepal, it connects Bhutan, it connects India, it connects Bangladesh and it connects Myanmar. If you go to any part of Podisha, you will find some remembrance of Rangoon. That means today's Myanmar. There are a lot of memories in the Bangladesh. Just as I was reminding our high commissioner, I am fond of Padmaar Ilchi. We all in eastern India, people are very fond of Ilsa Masli. But the best quality of Masli is from Bangladesh. There is a lot of connectivity, a lot of skill sets are similar. A lot of skill sets are similar. We have to work together. The values and ethics are also similar. This part of globe is a very highly valued, highly ethical society is there. Unless until the native society is ethical and highly value-based, there can't be economic prosperity. Yes, sometime the curve goes up and sometime it goes down. There may be a sliding down time in these days. But I strongly believe with collective effort, with collective wisdom of all of us, this part of globe is going to be happening point of economically and socially in 21st century. We have the strategic location, we are all in Bhuvaneshwar. The colonial ruler put up their center of governance in Kolkata because of strategic location. Whereas in the same zone, Bhuvaneshwar, Rappatana, Ranchi, Raipur, Vishakapatnam, just imagine, see their strategic points and see the ports, be it Vishakapatnam, be it Gopalpur, be it Paradeep, be it Dhamara, be it Haldia. These are the gateway to the different part of the globe. We have to join the dots. And there is a drive among these people, there is a market. We all have an ambition to create a productive economy, to create a productive economy, to create a manufacturing hub. We must, our youngsters are doing wonders. In India, more than 100,000 startups are there. In every quarter, a unique number is getting added. The Indian youths are, they have no new aspiration, new zeal they have. And this part of our country, our globe has a special drive. Friends, whenever if you go back to the history, there are a lot of examples. I am not going to the history, we can remember hundreds, hundreds of thousands of people We can remember hundreds of names starting from Subhashchandra Bose to Ravindranath Raghun, to Pandit Gopabandranath to Madhusudandas, to Vrishamunda. We fought for a cause. I am tempted to cite two examples, two names in the Sagespur. Then my idea of Eastern initiative, Puroda is in, we can understand. There is a Udaya gentleman, Saleel Mahapatra. If I am correct, this is Saleel Mahapatra. He is a hotelier in Mauritius, he is a hotelier in Mauritius. He is doing Saleel Panigraha, he is a hotelier in Mauritius. He is from Odisha, but he has successfully created a global benchmark in the service industry. That means we can do excellent things wherever we can put our mind. I am citing another example, Purnendu Chatterjee. Purnendu Chatterjee is a gentleman, whenever I get confused after meeting him, whether he is an industrialist or an educationist. He is a combination of both, he is a visionary. He has created a new benchmark in the petrochemical industry of the globe. He helps from the eastern part of the country. That means, if Eastern India people will get opportunity, then they can create global standards, global benchmarks. Friends, I am happy when Prime Minister is envisioning, we have to create yes, we have advantage of a demography. This part of the globe has advantage of demography. I am again and again ambitious, I am citing, I am quoting, that this part of country, I am this part of globe. That means, we all have a common aspiration. We must have a common goal also. Nepal, Bhutan, Myanmar, Bangladesh and this part of India. 10% population of the globe. I am happy, this August workshop of two days will certainly ponder over these important factors, Purvodeya prospect is reflections on regional connectivity. This is no more regional connectivity. This regional connectivity will create impact in the global economy. All my best wishes for this two-day conference. Thank you, friends.

Personal Finance Powerpoint Presentation. Life Insurance Companies. Prepare to get financially fit by practicing personal finance. Insurance is part of our long-term risk and mitigation strategy where we follow the adage of major twice cut once put in a formal process in place, looking something like set the goals, develop a plan to reach them, put that plan in action, review the results and repeat the process periodically. Most of this information can be found at Investopedia Best Life Insurance Companies, which you can find online. Take a look at the references, resources, continue your research from there, this by Meredith Mangan and Richard Burke, updated May 17th, 2022. Note that we are not personally affiliated with any of these companies, although Investopedia may be in some way. We're just here to give a list of some companies if you're getting down to the nitty gritty and actually looking into some insurance companies, just to get an idea for people to start their research from. They can obviously continue the research, possibly at Investopedia, looking at the references and resources there, and then possibly, of course, go into the websites themselves for the companies and start doing your comparing and your contrasting. In prior presentations, we talked about insurance in general. Now we're moving on to the life insurance in conjunction with that overall discussion. Having talked about the different kinds of insurance in general, we'll continue some more of that discussion of life insurance in the future, but now we're just looking at a few companies that are a life insurance companies. Best life insurance companies, the best life insurance companies, according to Investopedia, are those that are financially sound, provide robust customer service, make the application process easy and offer a wide range of features. So that sounds appropriate. To choose the best life insurance company, we measured, that being Investopedia, 91 insurers in these categories collected more than 50 points of data for each insurer and considered third-party radiance, while undoubtedly a complicated process, choosing the right life insurance company to fit your needs is one of the most important decisions you will make. It's like the most important ever, it's kind of like deciding to eat or something. Anyways, among the reasons to compare different companies is that your choice will cover your funeral arrangements and other financial obligations. So obviously, that's what we think about all the time, of course, is making sure that our funeral is properly and will be an elegant affair, so including tuition, mortgage, and cost of living. So permanent life policies also build cash value over time, which may provide added financial stability during your life. So we talked about different kinds of life insurance. So you wanna think about different kinds of life insurance in general, term versus permanent, for example, and then determine what your actual needs are. Is it insurance or some type of tax planning, estate planning and whatnot? And then of course, do your comparisons for the different companies and comparing and contrasting your actual goals, which is what we're looking at the companies at this point. Read on to discover the best life insurance companies for 2022, according to Investopedia and why each made our list, that's the Investopedia list, best life insurance companies of 2022, according to Investopedia, best overall, nationwide, best for term life insurance, protective, appropriately named. So notice that again, there are gonna be some specialties here in terms of what kind of life insurance you're getting. If your term is like the classical life insurance, just for life insurance kind of thing. So if you're looking for that, that might go there. And notice when you're talking to agents in the field of life insurance, just like when you're talking to someone selling anything, you would expect the more complex structures, the more complex the life insurance, the more they might be making on it as a commission kind of to it. So if you're looking for, say, just term life insurance, you might want to be talking to someone who probably preaches term life insurance, and that would be someone that just does term life insurance, right? If you're looking into more complex life insurance, you probably wanna be talking and being in alignment possibly with what other strategies you might be putting in place, such as tax or state strategies. So you might be talking to CPAs and stuff like that to make sure that you're in alignment with your overall goals with regards to that, noting that when you're talking to someone who's going to make money from you signing up to the thing that they're selling, then obviously they have some incentive, financial incentives that doesn't mean that they're lying about what they're offering, but it does mean that it's a biased kind of decision in that case. So you might wanna talk to other people, of course, third party members, possibly a CPA or your financial advisor or something like that to get an independent decision, possibly even paying them to get an independent decision from someone who's not being paid by you signing up to a policy and then armed with that, go to the agents and talk to them. Okay, best financial stability, that's mass mutual, best for living benefits, mutual of Omaha, fewest complaints, guardian life insurance, that's nice, best for the military, U-S-A-A life insurance, best for seniors, New York life insurance. So this is just, we'll just go through a couple of the top couple on this list, and then of course you can go to these individual companies yourself and do your more research and your comparing and contrasting from there. So first we got nationwide, what are the pros? Ranked second in JD Powers 2021 Customer Satisfaction Study, drew fewer customer complaints, fewer than what, fewer customer complaints, that's good I guess, no medical exam coverage available to healthy applicants, up to $5 million, so you don't have to go through, if you're healthy apparently, possibly no medical exam, that's nice, living benefits includes on most policies and allows credit card payments, that's good, cons, final expense policies available to existing customers only. Why we chose it, nationwide garnered an A plus financial stability rating from the AM best, received very few customer complaints over the past three years and was the second ranked out of 21 life insurers for customer satisfaction in JD Powers US individual life insurance study, plus it boasts a wide range of policy types and riders, no exam applications for up to $5 million in coverage for healthy individuals and generous living benefits. The host of exceptional features puts it squarely at the top of our best life insurance companies, according to Investopedia.  So they got kind of a wide range of these items and again, note that if you're talking to somebody and you're going to, these more extravagant life insurance are probably going to be things where the person selling them might make more if they're making some kind of commission.  I'm not saying any particular company is likely to do that in per se, but if the payment structure is such that they're going to make some kind of commission on it, then you want to be aware of that. So many of these policies can be opened with no medical exam and applications may be approved the same day. The company also includes three accelerated death benefit riders on most of its policies at no cost. This allows policy holders to access part of their death benefits while still alive if they are diagnosed with a chronic critical or terminal illness. So we kind of talked about some of these riders before. Notice now we're kind of have a cross match here of life insurance, but now you can get the money if you have a medical problem. So that's kind of like medical insurance or long-term disability type insurance. So, and that's where it gets a little bit confusing when you got these overlaps on the insurance. Note that if you're looking for final expenses or burial insurance policy, you'll need to be an existing customer to get one with nationwide. For more information, check out Investopedia's full nationwide review and then we're going to do maybe one or two more. Protective is the next one. The pros tied with banner for the least expensive term policies. So these I believe are the term policy specialists. So again, if you talk to different people in insurance fields, the people that are in term insurance tend to say the term insurance is the way to go and everybody that's trying to sell these other policies might be selling it to people that might not need those other kind of policies. So if you're deciding that you want to go to a term policy place, then you might go to a term policy place and they're going to be preaching term policy, which is kind of like pure life insurance in essence. So offers term coverage for up to 40 years, allows credit card payments, cons ranked 16 out of 21 companies for customer satisfaction, relatively low no exam coverage amounts. Why we chose it, according to Investopedia, protective ties with banner for the cheapest term life insurance of all the companies we've reviewed. That's a good one. I like that. Plus it offers 40 year term policies, which is uncommon in the industry. Most companies cap terms at 30 years, 40 years. That's good. Founded in 1907, protective backs its coverage with a A plus rating from AM best for financial stability. It also received fewer complaints than expected for a company of its size over the past three years, but protective ranked lower than the industry average in JD powers life insurance survey coming in at number 16 out of 21 companies studied. Huh, that doesn't seem as good. And it's no medical exam life insurance policies are capped at $1 million in coverage, which are only eligible for up to age 45. This is much lower than some competitors that offer coverage up to $5 million for applicants up to age 50 and $3 million for applications applicants up to age 60. For more details, you could see Investopedia Protective Review. So we didn't go through all of these. Obviously these life insurance companies have some of their specialties in particular types of areas. So you might try to start your research based on what that particular life insurance company is geared towards doing. You could take a look at the references that Investopedia as a launching point if you so choose. And then of course go to the company websites themselves and start your comparing and contrasting from there.


How's it going guys know if I'm kicking their ass TV here with another video and Pretty much a lot of you guys have been asking how have I got in the fishing like how do I start fishing? How did it all start how long have you been fishing? Guys really I haven't been fishing that long if I could put a number on it. I would say this is starting my fourth year Third year tournament fishing fourth year overall fishing If you guys don't know my dad is allergic to fish. He can't touch him They can't splash on them none of that. I mean if it splashes on him He's gonna break out if it splashes on his face. He's I mean in the emergency room or he's dead It's that deadly. It's just a slime on the fish. He can't touch them. So Um, how did I start fishing guys? Like I said, my dad was allergic to fish. He wasn't ever in the fishing um So We never really fished When I was a little I did fish off the dock when we had a big boat um fishing for Brandon stuff So fish like that and then my grandpa. He was really in the fishing Not like competitive fishing honestly like warm on the bobber throw out there catch a fish Like a catfish like stuff like that. Just just on basic fishing here not like bass fishing or competitive fishing in any way so what happened is The started off is me and him started fishing ponds. Um, or honestly wasn't even before there's before that We started fishing this little catfish like it was like a private lake and you could pay it was like a pay lake and You could pay and catch catfish and stuff like that It's pretty cool. So we would just use like night crawlers and then go catch catfish and we did that for probably about a year So we did that for about a year started fishing for bass, you know, I wanted to catch a bass I told them that so you start going to ponds we start fishing ponds We're fishing with worms still we're fishing away warming a bobber just casting out through bring like five poles Cast out there you catch fish Just have a really good time, you know And then one day like I said always fished off the dock at that time. I was in the bass fishing You know, I was wanting to catch a bass. So we're fishing off the dock at Lakeland You're I was my parents were probably in the boat And then the people next to us that had a big boat their son came pulling Came up to the boat the boat dock and he actually had a bass boat and I saw that thing man I was I was looking into that thing. I mean it was awesome, you know I saw that but I was like man that thing's awesome, you know, I believe I had a rap on it I really can't remember it's been so long In my opinion it's been a long time but I was always I was eyeballing the boat and the guy offered he talked to my daddy was like Do you mind if I take him around the dock here in the marina? my dad was like, yeah, sure and so By that time about 30 minutes later I was already running the trolling motor have a little push button real just casting a little shaky head on the shore I'm never caught a fish. I didn't get some bites. I honestly think it was like now that I think about it I think it was just like right in biting at the end of the worm So we're like fishing by the docks and stuff But after that man, I was hooked so I talked to my dad.  I really can't remember it's been so long So we got that boat We were in around Lake Lanier and if any of you guys have been on Lake Lanier You guys know it's just not the best place to be on the weekends boat traffic. No, it's just not working So that did not last long that probably lasted about I Would say three months. So that bill last about three months. We ended up selling it and we moved to an 18 foot nitro. So we had a little nitro and Man, we just got our butts kicked. We got our butts kicked hard. We gosh. It was bad. We were Just as big old cruisers and big old house boots and stuff Just knocking waves over the front of the it was ridiculous, you know It was just really bad that that wasn't gonna cut it I believe we got a 150 horse on it and the boat was just so small and then if my mom wanted to come It was just work. Well, my dad's a big guy. It just wasn't working out Really just getting the crappy job. So then we started looking into more boats We probably had that boat for half a year Start looking into more boats and then we finally looked at a ranger, you know We heard a lot of good things about it about Talk to some people got some information. So we're like, yeah, let's go test our ranger. So we test for your ranger and Ended up getting it guys. We got a ranger. It was 2008 Really really great, but we love that boat There was nothing wrong with the boat. It was really great, but only thing only thing I will I will say one thing that was bad about it was the oil just having to put oil in the motor Just horrible.  Not even that just Just putting gas in the boat in general It was a yamaha, but now I have the yamaha show and it doesn't take Oil so it's so much better on price and the gas is amazing on it But man, we love that boat and then I really started getting the fishing guys I really started to push and that's about the time When I started fishing tournaments once we got that boat. So sorry fishing tournaments. This is my third year fishing tournaments So started fishing tournaments starting to get in that type of deal stuff and We really love that boat started to get my name out there Ended up. I believe my first like official big sponsor was St. Croix I've been with them for a while started to get sponsors really started to get my name out there Really started to be good on them on the videos and tournaments really Got a good head start on it guys. I really really bust it off just from the beginning Really really hard man pushing my all Confidence level was through the roof, you know, just really really believing in myself really loving fishing really loving the passion I'm fishing and my dad got to really loving it because we were going on the lake so much So he started loving fishing and just all started to go together, you know And then we ended up getting an offer to be on the ranger pro staff. So If any of you guys ever got the opportunity No, it's a no brainer you you have to do it. It's it's such That's the best thing that can happen be honest one of the best things that can happen beyond ranger pro staff or any boat pro staff in general Because in a couple years, I'll be swapping out boats No cost would be amazing So what happened with that is we ended up having to get a new boat We really like that boat guys. There was nothing wrong with it. We really wanted to keep it to be honest There was nothing wrong with it. We love the boat, but to be on the ranger pro stuff We did have to buy a new boat. So we ended up getting our new ranger that we have now which we love It has a shill in the back of it and it really saved us a lot of money on the Oil and gas and everything and that it's really saved a lot of money. I remember going on a time for nationals Not having that boat and we literally brought like eight Freaking gallons of like eight eight of those tubs of oil is ridiculous. Just money down the drain Like 40 bucks a freaking ball. It's ridiculous. Um But then we moved to this boat guys started fishing a bunch of tournaments and now I'm here where I'm at now And just so just my name's got out there so much guys. I'm so thankful for it It's just really crazy How far I've gotten and how much I've learned it's really ridiculous guys And when I go back to think about it, it's like I only know how it's possible, you know Like how how can I get that far that quick? And I'm not saying that to be like cocky or anything I'm saying that because it's really it just really blows my mind To see how far I've got, you know, I mean if I look back Four years ago, I was just a little chubby fat kid, man.  And now I'm sitting up here Freaking talking to my guy Cannelly and Brandon at tournaments like I'm Good buddies with them and it's freaking awesome Um Rigid industries, man. They've treated me so well synchro rods um Pure fishing Berkeley Abu Garcia Under armor gosh, man. I mean they Got some new shoes on from him right now It's amazing guys. How far I've came I can't I can't thank you guys enough and I can't thank my parents and my family enough And especially my sponsors. It's just everything's everything's finally coming together for me And I just got a truck yesterday um It's crazy Beyond belief of how far I came I'll have to definitely make a video of some like old footage of when I first started fishing And like lead it up to now or kind of like fading like videos of how how much better my videos videos have gotten And I'm finally like full committed onto this guys I've been working really hard on the social media The bait page and the kick of the bass tv gear and everything is finally up and running. I'm about to get some hood rags And the new site's about to go up. Everything's just about to release. It's going to be awesome. Um, still trying to work every once in a while at a retail job Used to have an internship for eight months up at adventure advertising fish flicks Um, I was still running vending machines every single week every filipini machines And I'm just trying to keep up with the video guys videos guys at least three videos a week. I've been putting out Um, that's a lot of work guys. I really try I really try to get the videos out to you guys and um when you guys support me and Say there's a negative comment on social media You guys support me like that that you don't understand how good that makes me feel Like seriously like to know you guys are there for me. It's just phenomenal Like if I see joe over here comment, you're doing great. You know, can't wait to see you on tv Dude, do you understand how that makes me feel? Like i'm gonna remember you comment that i'm gonna go on your page.  You sure are. I may not comment back because i'm busy or something But it really does mean a lot And I try to comment back as much as I can and that's pretty much what i'm doing for is commenting back to my fans A lot of you guys have said that um, so it's awesome Yeah, guys, I'm really like losing my voice and everything I've been making tons of videos today working my butt off. I've got a lot of stuff done to the truck I actually been vlogging all day, so Um, I really hope you guys enjoyed this video I just wanted you guys to know the story of what really happened One last thing my last name is pescatelli and it's Italian actually means little fisherman. It's just kind of crazy It's pretty cool. Um I just thought that out there Well, I hope you guys enjoyed this video Please give it a thumbs up It really means a lot guys and for all you guys out there supporting me along the way You guys are awesome. You don't understand how much all the support means all the comments that you guys put It means it goes beyond belief man. It's the supports amazing guys So hope you guys enjoyed this video. Please comment below what you guys think And I'll please leave a like and check out some of the kick in the brass tv gear I would love to see you guys wearing it. Um that just support me through the roof. So thank you guys for watching See you guys at the next video


or we can recalculate our own threshold values based on the values for the last year or last 11 months. So for the session today, we'll take the same example as yesterday for DPT doses administered to children and comparing it to the DPT doses threshold value. And this threshold value will be based on the 11 months prior to the last month. So if we have to calculate the threshold value for April 2021, we'll consider 11 months receding from February 2021. We will skip the value for March and we take 11 months February backwards. Now to do this calculation, we need a predictor. So as we discussed yesterday that predictor configuration and calculations is little tricky and it needs some practice. And our focus on this session is more towards the validation rules and not the predictors. So I will just show you the predictor that we have already created for this threshold value. I also run through quickly run through the documentation for predictor which you could study later after the session. And if you have some specific questions, we could answer them on Slack. But for this session, we keep our focus only on the validation rules. Now where do we create a predictor? So in the maintenance app, we have something called predictor. I click on this and I see the list of already existing predictors. For my validation rule, I will be using the predictor for DPT, hepatitis, doses, threshold value. Let's look at this predictor now. So it has a name, we can add short names, code description as required. And then there is something called output data element. So we have already created one data element for storing the value from this predictor. So if you look at this, this predictor gives you the list of data elements and you can select the data element where you want to populate the value of the predictor. Now for our validation rules, we will be using this data element. So basically a predictor predicts the value and stores it in one data element, which we can use further in our validation rules. So this predictor will populate the value for DPT given threshold data element. Period type, it should be same as my data set type. So if I am predicting the values for last 11 months, I'm calculating storing monthly values, then my period type also must be optimum monthly type. We should select organization unit level where we need to run the predictor. So if you run the predictor facility, it will take up the data for each facility and store that data in this data element for each facility. The same data element because it will be aggregated at the district, region, country level, so they'll be automatically adding up. We should avoid taking multiple levels here. Otherwise the predictor will predict value for facility as well as for region and district, which will duplicate the values. So I just want my predictor to predict the value for threshold at the facility level. Now this generator, so this generator tells me that what needs to be stored in that data element. So I want to, as we had seen this formula yesterday, I need to take the average of the doses given, average of the DPT doses given for the last few months and three times the standard deviation population of the same data element of the doses. So this is my formula, which I have selected in my generator. Then there is sequential sample count, which is what values do we want. So when I'm saying average, the average of the DPT doses given, I need the average for the last 12 months. This is a monthly predictor. So show me the average of the data elements for the last 12 months and sequential skip count means if I'm saying sequence is 12 months, do I want to skip any months in the sequence? Yes, I want to skip one month. So this will skip the last one and then calculate the values for the last 11 months in the predictor. The annual sample count zero because we just want the value for the last 12 months, last 11 months. If you just want the values for multiple years, the last two years or three years, you could say one. So one would consider one more year added to 12 help. So similarly, you could add on help for the multiple years. This was just an introduction to predict and it might feel complicated to cover. But if you have, if you're further interested in adding predictors or want to learn more about it, we have added the link for the same in the presentation that was shared yesterday. So in the user guide, you could just search for the predictors and you have all the information available there. How do we create our generators? How do we take previous periods? What is the meaning of each of these terms? What is a sampling period, a sequential sample count, skipping, annual sample count? All of these details are there with examples with these visualizations to see what periods you can consider. So anyone who wants to further look at the predictors and practice that, you could refer to the user guide. The link is shared in the presentation. But for our demo during this session, we will just use this data element where we are storing the values for the threshold. Whenever we create a predictor, it's important to run the predictor because when we run the predictor for a certain period, only then the values are stored in that predictor. Now, let's go back to the validation rule. And my validation rule is that I want to see DPT doses given during a month should either be less than or equal to the threshold value which is set in. So based on the last 11 months data, if threshold is n number, I should ideally be given vaccines equal to a less than n. I might be giving more vaccines which can be a case due to some XYZ reason. But then on an ideal situation, I should usually not cross my thresholds. And this will just show me as an alert on my data entry screen or when I run validations that when do I cross the threshold values for a dose admin store. So to add this validation rule, I'll click on the plus button. I will give a name to my validation, which is DPT. So DPT doses less than equal to. We can give the complete name of the vaccine. I'm just writing DPT to save time. And of course, I'll prefix with my initials to avoid duplication. DPT doses administers should be less than equal to DPT doses. I can add a description which will be available there. I can add an instruction that check with facility. I can give it again a medium importance period. I will be monthly here as well. The steps will be same as we've done before. My left side expression would be this is my validation. So my left side expression would be DPT doses administered for the total number of DPT doses given. So for that, I will go to left side expression DPT doses given and I will search for the DPT doses. Now I have three types of DPT doses which are given. So I could either add on for each less than one, more than one, less than and do the calculation and I could take the total step. Because for this validation, I might not be able to know which value is incorrect less than one or over one. And if I just show an alert for the total values, that might also be have same effect same use as I take individual values. So I could just say add up the doses given first dose given plus second dose given plus third dose given. And here you see dose one, two, three, I've added all of them and saved. Now my operator would be less than or equal because doses given should be less than threshold. You see this is still buffering. There is some issue here. Don't worry. If it's still buffering for you, the validation is still getting set. You could also create this rule otherwise DPT doses threshold should be greater than doses given. You can change swap the left and the right side if you want to do that. DPT doses given less than or equal to my threshold values. Now DPT doses threshold. I searched for the DPT here and we have this data element that we used for predicting the values. So I will use this data element DPT dose given threshold. I can just cross check by scrolling down. It's the same data element. I take my validation. Now I need to add this rule to a group. So I will go to validation rule group. I have a new validationization validations. Give a code description if I want to. I can search for my validation which is here DPT doses administer should be less than or equal to threshold. And I save this. Now what do I do? I need to run this validation. So I will go to data quality and run validation region again. Maybe few periods back and I will only run the validations for this validation group GA immunization validations and validate. So then there are a lot of values. If I can just search for one which has a threshold populated, let me just refine. So I had added this validation as never skipped. So even if the threshold is not yet populated, it runs through. But if I change it to skip if one value is missing, then these will not appear. Maybe I do some other page selection now. And the visitor shows that my validation is working correctly because I'm getting alerts for the validations. And it's running even when one of the values is zero. That's why I'm seeing so many values here. But there was just one validation rule in my group which seems to work correctly. Do we have any questions here? That's strange because I know there was some threshold I had run for April. But maybe there are multiple predictors created now. So it's just not running the one which I used. Yeah, do we have any questions or should we move to the exercises? So I see a comment on the chat. You will not be able to add or edit a predictor because we've not given you that access. But you can search for this predictor for threshold and use it in your validation rules. Since this session was focusing on the validation rule, so that's why we have not given you access for the predictors. But you could surely try that out on the demo instance of DHS2 and look at the managements which are there. I think we have a lot of time still left while we have one exercise pending for the day. Maybe we can take up questions if there are any or else I'll hand over to Pamod. Pamod, are you there? Yes, yes, of course. I think before moving on something different, is there any questions? Right. So we can handle them on Slack, Pamod, Okay, great. So I think all of you are waiting for one more thing from us, which is of course, like I saw a couple of comments in Slack as well. Let's chat asking for the word of the day. So let me share the word of the day. So word of the day today is consistency. So the word of the day today is consistency. You can see my screen, all symbols. So you have to open today's date, then under the word of the day, you have to write consistency.


Hello and welcome to the Stock Swoosh trade of the day for May 5, 2016, presented by the Stock Swoosh.com. Before we begin, I would like to remind you that coming up Monday, May 9, 5.30, a great webinar event that you want to attend, make a living in just 30 minutes daily. A great presentation that you will see about how to trade the market in a very unique way. For today's trade, Melissa had the trade today, it was a trade on FIT, F-I-T, a short as usual, taken shortly after the open. Let's listen to Melissa. Good afternoon everyone and welcome. This is Melissa Arma with the Stock Swoosh and I'm here to go over FIT. This was my top watch today. I felt a high level of conviction this would work and it was the best gap today. As usual I picked the best thing and it's still going actually. This really next target is $14, you can be in this short in the afternoon. I don't really trade in the afternoon except for every once in a blue moon but you could actually have reshorted this in the afternoon. But I personally like to trade in the morning and be done and this gap rated well today.  Rallied up here, I did call a late entry here if anybody wanted to do it. It could have gotten to $14 but it did have a move, it did have a $0.40 move here in this late entry. I just really made a great call on this today and it literally fell hard twice. You could have done one trade or you could have done one trade and a second trade or you could have done this trade and held it all the way down. But morning move got down and done and this is still going. So where could you have reshorted this? I teach the secondary entries in the class but you could have reshorted this here. This isn't even half bad, geez. This really stock had a nice move today and what do I mean by that? Perfect entries, perfect size, perfect risk reward, I mean this was fantastic today actually. And look, it's going to break the low. It really is going to break the low. So I looked at many, many gaps today as usual. I get up in the morning, I scan, you have all these things in here and there was a lot of things gapping down. People were putting ideas in the room, I said, no, it fits the one and I knew it. I'm so good at picking the right thing every day to do. What tells me that? My 26 point rating system. This was the highest gap rated today, there was no reason to do anything else other than this. It had the best move, the best short, the best entry, the best history board, the best everything, still going 1.15 in the afternoon. So if you want to learn what to trade and how to trade, email me at melissathestalkswitch.com. The Golden Gap class is May 14th and 15th and by the way, if you want to sign up for the early bird special by Friday, which is tomorrow, you'll receive the option letter free for the year and that's actually a great deal because that's $29.99. So you get that free for the year if you sign up for the Golden Gap class early one week ahead. So really nice move in this fit today, just absolutely nailed it. As usual, I'm great at calling the entries and picking the right stock every day to short and I prefer to short. Have a great day everyone.
