Thank you Liz and Melissa it's awesome to have you both here and what we're going to try to do for the next half an hour is engage in more questions with the audience but also we're going to work a little bit at trying to engage the two of you with each other. You come from very different backgrounds, have very different experiences, talents, abilities but hopefully you'll notice that we find that what you both do is very synergistic to our interests and so watching, listening to you to maybe respond to each other's opinions and perspectives would be something that I know we would all value. So as we as we take some questions if you have thoughts on what Liz or Melissa says then please please share those two as we go along. Alright so let's go ahead and open up for questions that you haven't been able to ask yet that you would like to direct at us up here. Yeah absolutely so that's a really good question so what are we doing? Well we're doing a couple of things. One thing is we're giving access to gene therapies now so that we can ignite the area we can ignite investment so whenever you have a nascent technology whether it's the first supercomputer or the first electric car it costs a lot of money and that's what we see right now we need to get a therapy built for someone GMP and it costs an enormous amount of money but it's a one-off therapy but we know that if we can get 10 candidates signed up at the same time we can bring down the cost significantly like sometimes up to 70% so one thing that we're doing is expediting the use of the therapeutics so we ignite an industry to get everybody interested in it and the second company an LLC for manufacturing and in that way we can build in large amounts and not only that just cut the cost down significantly and stop this this huge profit off of the top of an area of medicine that is significantly important to humans. On a related note you mentioned earlier in your talk the doctor may tell a 73-year-old that they're healthy but they're not really when we talk about health generally especially as we start to enable access to a broad range of people to become more healthy is there a point at which there's sort of a extra healthy or so forth that would be optional I mean how where do you kind of draw the line and what what we would consider healthy generally seems like especially in a transhumanist vein there are there are therapies that would then go beyond what we would consider normal health right and I'd love to know kind of what your thoughts are yeah so people often you know talk about what is the difference between enhancement and preventative medicine so they're kind of synonymous if you take an immunization you're enhanced you're enhanced against getting a disease if you take antibiotics you're enhanced to probably survive the the bacterial infection that you have so it will definitely slur the lines in those two areas and I don't mean to insult people as we age that we're not healthy but we need to come to the path of understanding and starting a conversation and actually I think that's where you play in significantly is the minute you insult somebody you actually shut them down to a conversation and what I really like about what I've seen here is this idea of a movement of what Micah called the super organism that we have the potential to affect people and by a multitude of different mindsets and different ways of communicating with one another and having different people going out there do it I can't do it on my own we can actually reach more people and create critical mass so but as far as biologically what are we looking for in a human well when you're an embryo you know by the time from an embryo to the time you're born your telomeres go through 3,000 base pairs of attrition and up to 10,000 and you only have 5,000 more attrition left before you're generally diagnosed with an end stage disease correlated so we need to become more than what we are even born as okay so don't get development mixed up with biological aging you're biologically aging from the point of conception to the point of your death development is just a stage of you know growth hormones and things like that that create a young organism to an adult organism but the aging process and damage is happening throughout there and scientifically we can actually now see in some people signs of Alzheimer's in their 20s signs of atherosclerosis around the same ages we're going to become better and better predicting what's going to happen to you down the road but integrating the whole situation here is we need to have a conversation you know on that note I'm wondering Melissa how do you think that the people in the true Jesus Church would react to Liz's presentation today well they probably tell you to pray really hard this really interesting story so there was this I guess it's a different kind of medicine but there was this a lady in 19 the 1930s and she was a nurse a trained nurse and in the city of Wuhan in China and she was also member of the true Jesus Church and one day some guy came into the true Jesus Church and he was sick and he was looking for someone to heal him and she'd never done it before but she put her hands on his head and he said he cried out and he said why is it when you put your hands on my head my whole body burned and then apparently he was healed now on the other hand Wei and Bo the founder of the true Jesus Church was theoretically miraculously healed of tuberculosis in 1916 and then he unhealed himself or he died in 1919 so it's always hard to kind of you know it is it's not really apples to apples when you're talking about you know religious healing and medical healing I actually have a question I'm not a question but kind of just a comment I know how it feels to have to have something going on with your body that's deeply frustrating and that it's like I have cancer right now actually and I've still got my port installed I think I'm technically a cancer survivor because I'm past chemotherapy does that make you a cancer survivor I don't know how long it's going to last so I know like that feeling of what's up with you body you know like you're young healthy I took care of you and what's up with us and then I guess one question that I have though is that like the process of having cancer has made me feel you know has like provoked all the existential questions that you see in the good place and in some ways it's been really good for my writing I guess it's been actually great for my right I've like written a book manuscript because because it's you know provoke those questions so I guess my question is if we get older and older well that somehow I don't know not not diminish the meaning of life but does it if we have more and more control over life then is that sort of a sort of illusion like if we have control over our health there are a lot of other things we don't have control over I mean how does that how does that affect the meaning of life what do you think about that that's a good question I think that right now what we do is we live historically by a lot of myths and so what we do is we construct reason and purpose around our situation right so when my son got sick I I needed to have purpose I needed to help kids and then I went out there and and so it can be constructive or destructive depending on on the outcome and I think that living I think that world will always have problems okay and I think that living by the myth that aging creates some sort of meaning in life that that Alzheimer's and cancer and heart disease creates meaning I just I cannot believe that that that is possibly true I think that we fall into time really well and when that's not a problem just like when infectious disease wasn't a problem we will fall out of the necessity for the rituals that we had at that point and again I am not against religion at all even though I wasn't raised religious I have almost no understanding of it but religious people are the original immortalists you know the rest of the people are just kind of living day-to-day so I have a high respect for starting at the level of that we believe in health and happiness and and I see Jesus as this great player of curing disease and then I see him persecuted and prosecuted for it and and it perplexes me and I had a lot of questions about that today two different groups that I sat with that I would like to understand but I don't see this as a movement of one group I see this as a movement of all of us and actually it is a natural phenomena when people become diagnosed with something that they're actually freed up because we spend a lot of time worrying about what's going to happen and it has been written about over and over again how empowering it can be to get a diagnosis become very productive around that and then I hope you are in complete remission and we you never have to face cancer again and that you live so long with me that when you do we will have a fast fix for it because those are coming you know so that's all I can do. I have eaten a lot of ice cream.  I like whatever. Ice cream. Life is short. I guess the point is life will always be short. I mean because one of the kind of major kind of premises of Mormonism is that the purpose of having a body is they kind of have the deep frustrations that come with the body and I feel like in some way I never really understood that because I had a healthy body. I ran marathons. I was you know frustrated when I injured my knee or something but that's like not the same thing as being frustrated because you have cancer.  I guess I'm not frustrated because I have tuberculosis and measles or those kinds of things. I guess we can just all be frustrated in different ways. There's always going to be some way to kind of come up with challenges and go against them. But I guess I'll go ahead. I see you. Well yeah you just you you provoked a thought. You know in Mormon scripture we have the image of God weeping. So being a God in Mormonism is not always hunky dory. And in Mormonism also God is embodied. And you mentioned a perspective on the purpose of embodiment. And I'm interested if you would elaborate on those two things I just pulled out in in relation to what you said about the purpose of embodiment. In Mormonism God has a body. Is God experiencing embodiment for the same purpose that you feel you might be. Right well you know there's all sorts of deeply painful and frustrating things about you know different conditions that people have. But I guess what I would say I think you know Latter-day Saints believe that God's power comes from you know overcoming challenges. And it's not about you know life is not a competition. Lots of things happen to you. And I guess what I've discovered is that you know we think about God as this kind of all powerful being who has all this you know capability and is kind of impervious to problems. But what I've noticed about just kind of experiencing sickness myself is that like vulnerability is very very it's very powerful. It changes the way that you talk to people. It changes the way you think about life. And I think it increases your capacity like in a strange way like that. Like the emptiness you feel gives you capacity. But what do you think about it? I 100% agree I think that there's there's no place in the world for ego anymore. And I think that when we don't have things like cancer and heart disease and whatever else we're going to still have people starving and we're going to have humility. I think we should be humiliated. I do not think that we're you know on the path to becoming gods and goddesses. I think that we're on the path to at best upgrading the human and understanding ourselves better and the world better. And I think that it should be a process that we take quite seriously. And I don't think that there's room for egos here. I think that humility is a really important thing. And I feel like I experience it on a daily basis. And sometimes very strongly and sometimes not. And I try to take it as as an important part of my life. And as as you do, and as a way to open up and to see our imperfections. And I think that it opens me up to criticism in our company has always been open to criticism, criticize us and help us fix the problem. Help us see what the problem is because we have to do this together. I cannot do this alone. I cannot stand alone and in and try to create a world of safe therapeutics. I have to you know, people have to help me and and whether that's safe therapeutics or or communicating with people and sharing your your your experience and which is is incredibly powerful. And working through your networks and me working through mine, we kind of have to work towards the same goal. And which is a, a benevolent society that has a reason to live much longer with each other. Because if we all have a zero sum game, that we're just looking for our own endpoints, we're going to lose or end up with a world that we don't want. So this is maybe a silly question. But so so I guess you're talking about how we can live longer to prevent certain diseases like cancer and atherosclerosis and, you know, kind of like the big the big ticket items. What about things like, for example, bad knees and bad eyesight that you can't completely fix? I mean, have you seen the good place? So you know, like, how there's that lady in the middle in the middle place, where she has like all the videos she wants, but they're all the certain kind of show.  But like in this one place, you know, like, what if you like have a really long life, but you have bad knees and bad eyes? And you know, like, how does it solve everything? Well, I mean, this is this is the first inklings that we really had that we could move regenerative medicine forward to the whole body was because the work they're doing on knees and eyes. So in gene therapy, one of the big advancements has been with congenital blindness and now macular degeneration. So these are like kind of the first therapies. Well, see the eye is immune privileged and in order to treat the eye, we can actually target most of the cells in the eye, whereas we go for a whole organism and you can see biology is rough, right? The bloodstream is going to only hit so many cells and we're going to have a hard time. But when you work with the eye, it's actually a closed system and the immune system will not attack it in your body. It's immune privileged. So these are the areas that we actually got the first glimpse, no pun intended, that we could actually regenerate a whole body. So yes, it is in all of those little things and building up from those little things. So our company right now, one of the things that we're looking at is using regenerative gene therapies in Oregon specific. And by doing that, it's the first time we can look at a gene therapy that won't cost much more than people who go and get stem cell work or get plastic surgery or something like that. It's around 20 to $65,000. It's in that range. And the reason that we're doing that is because we want to regenerate a whole organism, but a whole organism is so difficult. And yet we've gained so much interest from eyes and knees and joints that we think that this is the place to start. Because if we can regenerate a kidney or a liver, now we're on to something continually trying to transduce a whole organism with gene therapies that we really don't have the right delivery methods for yet is costly and only for the people who really, really need it. But yeah, looking at Oregon specific is exactly where we need to go to make cost effective therapies and to prove that we have some evidence. And they're already doing that and achieving it. Because in my mind, I had this kind of like idea like whack-a-mole. The game of whack-a-mole just lasts longer, right? Yeah, that sounds really difficult. So if you imagine if we can use that power of the knees or the eyes and create a therapy for the whole body in the next five or six years, that at least slows the process, then we're on to something. Now we're on to tangible, you know, we're not having an argument or whether this will work or won't work. We actually have evidence. Liz, if we lived in a world where we had solved a lot of these problems and we were living a lot longer, what do you think would be the kinds of experiences that we would be having that would generate purpose and meaning in life? Yeah, so I think that that has to deal with how we build the bridge to the other side of the mountain. So what do we view when we view getting over there? Do we view it? It's all about me and now I can, you know, amass all of the things I want or are we going to look at a society as a whole? What kind of world do we want to live in? And I think it's an incredibly important question that we need to make sure that we're vetting because, like when the gentleman was talking about AI, I really, everything he was saying actually was referring to humans. We don't know what you're thinking. You may be having benevolent thoughts. You're going to hide what you're actually really trying to achieve. This is all a very, very human thing. And we're already dealing with it. So, you know, how do we create tangible societies? Well, we have to start working towards things and we have to realize that humans right now are only humans until we can become better than this. We are limited by our desires, our lusts and things that are really actually quite short-sighted. I think the human of the future is not only robust and regenerates as fast as they degrade, but they actually will have some sort of control over our hormonal system so that we're better thinkers. We're smarter. We're working for each other instead of just for our own means. And anyway, I'm not sure if I answered the question, but I just think an important part of looking forward is actually looking at bigger pictures and how do you get involved in making the world a better place and not just waiting for other people to solve the problem, whether that be the environment or feeding the world or helping patients who are going through cancer therapies have the support that they need right now in order to get to the next stage. Well, we're always going to need that sort of support. We're always going to have problems, but as humans we fall into time really well. Look how we fell into increasing lifespan by three times for most people, just out of doing some what at that time was very technologically advanced, but very simple things. And yet we still complain about time. So as long as we focus our time then on constructive societies that have a network like you do that are working towards something better always and not ever saying we're done, I think we'll be okay. Thoughts on that, Melissa? Do you want to take questions? Yeah, unless you had something to say and we'll go to questions. Let's go to a question, right? Who had their hand up first? Be honest. We'll go right there. So the China, as I understand, is way ahead of us in certain gene therapy genetic engineering. And I'm wondering if this is something you can full speak to, is do you think the different culture of China is enabling these things, maybe their lack of Christianity, and if you want to cross into reference to the typing rebellion as part of it, that would be great. I don't know how I can make the typing rebellion into everything. I do try to work into a lot of things. There are things in China that are medically possible because of the culture that aren't possible here. You can get an organ transplant in two weeks. How does that happen? Where does the organ come from? I don't know that much actually about gene editing or gene therapies in China. It is true that there's a different set of kind of ethical and ideological constraints there. China has a kind of layered ethical system. The bottom layer is the idea of Confucian values, the idea that the most important thing in life are relationships and inhabiting a certain role correctly. And then layered on top of that you've got Marxism, which is a kind of utopian ideal about it getting to new places really fast through great new technologies. They could be health technologies, they could be agricultural technologies and so on. This idea that ordinary people have this power that you've got to unleash. So I really can't speak to the actual genetic therapy is going on in China right now. But the culture is really different in terms of is it okay to do things to human bodies, to do experiments with human bodies, to try things out. And I think that it's true that there aren't the same, you don't run into the same ethical problems, you also don't run into the same political problems. If people started creating super humans in America tomorrow, there would probably be some sort of outcry. But there's less outcry in China as well. So I think that's obvious. That's why I didn't want to let people record the video that I... Is that obvious? No, all that I'm here to record is enough. So there's just a lot more regulation of the media.  That's problematic. Family medicine has its roots here in America. It's just now starting to come to China. It's having more of a special care in general medicine. But as a family doctor, we see prevention, especially primary prevention, life vaccines, public health, to extend life span as a major part of what we do. And we totally agree that we shouldn't spend our money worrying me. What you're proposing is more of a... I don't want to use the word but I think I'm going to write more of a cattle gear sort of thought. A lot of times I know the risk. I'm willing to take it to further the cost of science. And so having smaller groups to do more invasive and more potentially efficacious stuff, going in and doing the risk, I'm assuming this, that they're well informed. Of course there are statistical issues with small police. Is the group data to support the recommendations and how to cut it. The regulatory agency set up is really, I know it's a dangerous to farm, but it has probably saved countless lives. There are probably many people who are safe and healthy today because those harmful substances are screaming out from that ring. So I know they're never false, but there's also a lot of that isn't that's a risk to take. How much risk are we willing to assume? And how do we compensate and care for those people or even pursuit of this better human? Right. So humans are vastly risk adverse. And actually it has slowed science nearly to a stop because you can actually create a lot of really what seem like sound arguments that actually don't hold water. So for instance in bioethics we say a drug should be safe before it's given to humans. And yet we pass unsafe drugs all the time. For instance statins have the potential to help one in 164 patients. But one in four will get type 2 diabetes. And one in ten will suffer from dementia. And in the list goes on of the detriments of the drugs that we already have. We're looking at gene and cell technologies that really in small cohorts should be a hit or a miss. And not only that we're only doing pre-preclinical data. So remember these drugs still have to go to the regulatory service. What we're offering is a glean of how powerful the substances are that we're using. And in everybody is taking a risk. So if we choose to not let people have access to these drugs. Who will account for the 40 million people that die every year waiting for access. So we cannot slow things down because of risk aversion. People are dying. And they are going to continue to die until we have proper therapeutics. And the only way to vet them is through human bodies. All of the doctors that we work with have no intention of hurting a person. Anyone can die for any one of reasons. But moving that technology forward I think is more honorable than going toward a fight for a resource that we no longer need. Or a variety of things that people already swim with sharks and jump out of airplanes. So we choose to take these chances. And I think that every one of these persons is a hero. And every one of them is informed. They have consent. They have multitude of documents they have to sign and they need to talk to medical doctors before they go through it. But I would not discourage people from coming up and taking a stance because again like I said we're 100% guaranteed to die of the diseases that I showed you. And once you get a diagnosis staring down the barrel of a gene therapy is nothing in comparison to the grief that those diseases cause. So yeah we're going to have to stand up. We're going to have to get tough. We're going to have to reanalyze bioethics and what they actually are. And we're going to have to let people do informed consent treatments that may or may not turn out to be the best outcome. So is gene therapy, does it matter what a person's race or gender is? Or is it just the humanness of them? Because I know for example that certain drugs will be tested. They'll be tested among a white population. And then they won't work for like an african-american population and they'll actually have adverse effects on them. Is it universal? So when we look at the human genome we're almost identical down to just a few percentage of our genes but those genes do make a big difference. And so you know as we understand the genome more we'll understand better how things will relate to us. But the gene therapies that we're starting with remember they have animal data and they have human toxicology data and some human use. And they're universal genes. Increasing muscle mass and lengthening telomeres is the same gene therapies for everyone. But then as we work into populations and we start to look at well things that they're already looking at like monogenic disease, hemophilia B, sickle cell anemia, lipoprotein, lipase deficiency. We see those running in certain groups and that's when the gene therapy of the future is we be able to deliver a couple of genes that we would deliver to the whole population to make them more robust and then we would deliver succinct genes to you depending on you know what the weakness of the system maybe was. Like that term succinct genes are they like verbose genes? There are actually different alleles of genes and so and genes code for the same gene now we know can code for a multitude of different proteins. So actually we can cut it down to just code to the protein that we want it to make. So it's getting more and more interesting but just to give you like an anecdotal of how far away we might be there is a group in Finland and they all share an allele and they all get heart disease really young and so you know science was sure that this allele was like the driver of heart disease and now we better look out for it but then a group was found in Malaysia that don't get heart disease or get a very very late late onset that have the same allele. So we are long ways from understanding but actually by doing gene therapies we can better understand even how the genome works because we'll see how we're affecting the methylation of different genes and how the cells may behave differently just like when you exercise it it epigenetically changes your cells and I don't think anybody is asked but maybe everybody already knows what gene therapy is because I don't think we even explained what we're doing but anyway gene therapy is a huge umbrella that encompasses a lot of different types of technology whether that's putting one gene in as an exosome where it just it lives outside of the chromosome encodes for a gene or we can integrate where we actually put it into the chromosome or now what you're hearing more and more about is editing even though editing has been around for a while CRISPR technology makes it cheaper and more viable than ever more accurate than ever so so gene therapy is many things so you know in generally how we deliver gene therapy now is through a viral capsid so it's what used to be a virus but we take its ability to make you sick out and we use it because it docks with a cell really well and delivers information which is the genes and so this technology is a bit limited right now and we're hoping for better technology in the future that will make the proliferation of gene therapies throughout your body much easier but right now the viral capsid just the part that docks with the cell is the best way to get it in because you basically have to be able to signal to a cell to put something into it so other things that are being looked at are lipids and sugar molecules because cells like to suck those up so we need something that the cell likes to bring in to bring the DNA material in so just in case I didn't clarify that. Thank you. We're not good. Trying to be gods or goddess. We're actually all okay with that. Make the point that it's one that you can make it out loud that for us is beyond beyond paying in fact they might be the most pain filled entities in the universe so it's a deal on the downside as well as the idea of love and compassion it can maximize it's hard to make in other words who would want that if I can't handle it you know I'm trying to say God isn't this being for us that is platonic ideal beyond all because it's very human emotion as well. Yeah I understand better now I sat with a group during the breakout sessions and the the topic was do we become gods and goddesses or whatever I say goddess I love all the goddesses and I just my take on it was no immediately because that's something bigger to strive for something integrated or a consciousness that but different people had different ideas and really where we all when we didn't come together it's because we didn't have a definition for it and so me especially having no definition for it I'm at an impasse so I would love to sit down and have you describe to me what that is and maybe for everyone it's different so I don't know Melissa what is God I feel connected I mean that's how I ended up here was through meditation and is that I don't know you know for me meditation is was is moving through fear and coming out the other side I mean I was terrified and I was locked up and I was a person who wouldn't let my kids do anything because I was so scared of everything you know and when my son was diagnosed I just didn't know what to do and through meditation which may be similar I just sat and I watched my son die over and over again and I watched my head be torn off by a shark and I watched my daughter burn in a fire and I sweat and I cried and when I came out of it it took me days and days and days and it's still a process I was just I just felt unstoppable I felt like I had you know touched something that let me let it all go just let me see let me see every one of my fears let me move through them and then on the other side what am I supposed to do now and it's not like I heard a voice I just felt like I had to move towards what made me feel better and the only thing that made me feel better was being actionable and having faith in myself that regardless of what anyone said or just how they discredited me that I could make a difference and so maybe that's touching on something but I don't know I really don't know what is God I think we'd say that God is a being with you know infinite capacity and I think feeling like your like you've moved past your fears and feeling that kind of that power to do stuff is what God does I think God is the ability to do work and we just believe that like instead of building houses God you know makes planets and people and bodies and things like that but you know I think I was on Randy's note about you know God God who suffers or God who loves I remember I was I was a Mormon missionary in Taiwan and I was in this one area for about nine months so I knew the people in the area and the church really well and at the end of this when I was about to leave you know I was speaking to the congregation and I looked across the whole congregation and I knew everyone like I knew them all and I loved them all it was this amazing feeling it was like a superpower feeling and I had it for about like two weeks after I came home from my mission and then it was gone but I feel like that feeling is like how kind of it feels to be God to have this you know this infinite unstoppable capacity to love people as well it's also a form of work love is a huge form of work and you allude to that with you know like like the fear that you that you feel when you think that someone that you love will be taken from you you know just to to hold on to them is a form of work and also to consider letting them go is also a form of work thank you to the panel sorry we're out of time


Hey, what's up YouTube it's Zeta Crypto Manant and we're back at it again today with another video today We're gonna be talking about how can you grow a small account into a very large account over time very quickly Using debit spreads trading options and exactly how to do it for free on Robin Hood So let's get into the video. Alright, YouTube we're back. Um, as a lot of you guys know, I love AMD Decided to do a trade option debit spread on AMD earlier this week If we if you don't know exactly what a debit spread is Basically, it's a fine in finance a debit spread aka the net debit spread results when an investor Simultaneously buys an option with a higher premium and sells an option with a lower premium The investor is said to be a net buyer and expects the premium of the two options the option spread to why All right So you're wondering exactly what does that mean? All right, so let me walk you through it I did a debit spread trade option with AMD So basically I bought an option saying that AMD is going to go up in the next week And then I did a sale option saying that it won't go above this price because Let's say you only have two hundred dollars in your account, right? I did this trade for only a hundred and sixty eight dollars when it would have cost me three hundred and thirty dollars to do this trade But I don't have a three hundred thirty dollar buying power only had two hundred at the time So I was able to do a debit spread and get this and now I'm up to a point five percent I'm going to go ahead and take profit It could go up even more tomorrow, but right with why risk it When it could go down. So being up to a point five percent. It's not bad at all. It's pretty darn good So the option that that I wanted to actually get was this three hundred and thirty dollar car option I could have been up fifty three dollars if I had Another by equity just to buy this option alone, but I didn't and I'm going to go ahead and show you guys How to lower the price how to get this option for a discount? Because I also did a sale 2950 cent that the price will not go above thirty one dollars and twelve cents and now I'm up $21 and I'm up twenty one dollars twelve point five percent So exactly how you do this is you click on trade You want to click? No, not that one you go to the stop amd. You hit trade Then click trade options. All right So it when it brings you to this page It gives you an option on if you think the price is going to go up or down over the next short term So the next few months or years Us and the further you go the more expensive there be so I did a one week trade option I did August 30th and I went all the way down to where it was pretty close in the money and the one that I seen was The twenty seven dollar and fifty cent call and it was three hundred dollars and it was three hundred and thirty dollars at the time But I didn't have that in my account. So what you have to do is you hit? Select You want to click the one that you want and that would be three hundred thirty dollars But if you want to lower the price you hit sale Scroll up a couple and if you don't think the price is gonna go above $30.80 cents you click that one and it's going to lower the price by $186 because you're clicking the option to sell it You click at the bottom and now the total cost of this spread will cost me a hundred and forty four dollars just to get that the 2750 cent call buy on that one But if you have the money you don't have to do a debit spread If you have over five hundred dollars in your account you want to do a three hundred and thirty dollar Buy call you could go ahead and do it that way But if you do have a small account it might be smart smart to do a debit spread just to lower their price So that you'll be able to afford good quality Stocks at a cheaper price and hoping that the price go up with within the next Few weeks or months. So right here on August 30th. It was a 2750 call is close into the money. It will only have to go up 13% to break even over $30 and 80 cents, but the further I go, let's say September 6 13. Let's go to the end of September 27 So September 27 and go to that same one for 2750 now is 395 dollars and the break even would be $31 and 45 cents just for it to go up All right, so if you want to get close into the money down here for it to go up Just point for six percent over the next month pretty much It will cost seven hundred and ninety dollars and the further you go Let's say by the end of the year or beginning of January 17 2020 This is where they get pretty expensive and you want the price to go up 2% from now until January then this will cost you around $1,663, but if you do a Spread and if you believe the price is gonna go above $31 and 60 cents within the next couple of months You click that you hit sale you scroll up and you don't believe the price is gonna go above $32,883 BAM you hit that you view it and now for a until January 17 2020 you not have a debit spread for only $380 for That debit spread and you don't have to spend the entire $1,063 so that pretty much sums up exactly what a debit spread is Right now my total account is at $7,669 and 37 cents I'm up 1% on the day the debit spread actually help me out because that added $20 on my day And I'm going to end up selling that tomorrow just to take profit and over the last week. I'm down Right now $100 so hopefully it recovers a little bit more tomorrow But yeah guys if you guys want to use Robin Hood the link is down in the description you have free Free all right, so guys if you do want to use Robin Hood the link is down in the description You have free option trading free calls free puts free buys Free a regular stock trading and it's not gonna cost you or hit you over the head if you only have a hundred dollar account You're not going to be paying per trade that you do so if you guys want to sign up Robin Hood the link is down in the description growing your account With the $500 account $20 every single week. That is a great rate That is a great rate.  Peace


Who wants their loved one to be the one, the statistic? I want to make preventable deaths history in our hospitals. I am passionate about zero. I am loving zero. I commit to zero. I'm imagining zero preventable maternal deaths. I am zeroing in on zero. I'm facilitating zero. Yo trabajo para cero. I'm dreaming of zero. I'm building it to zero. Zero is an imperative. I'm praying for zero. I'm celebrating zero. I'm sprinting toward zero. I'm supporting zero. I am championing zero. I'm advocating for zero. And I'm legislating zero. I'm planning for zero. And I am pushing zero. Zero. Zero. Zero. Zero. J'aime zero. Zero. We can do it. Zero. Zero. Welcome. Today is World Patient Safety Day. And for those of you who are not aware that we have a World Patient Safety Day, this is the second one, an annual event, which was the initial idea of Mr. Jeremy Hunt, the previous British health minister who's done so much for patient safety and has now been taken up by the World Health Organization and they're supporting it every year. I am Mike Ramsey, chairman of the board of the Patient Safety Movement Foundation and I'll be one of your hosts to kick off our Unite for Safe Care virtual event. I'm also chairman of the anesthesia department of Bailey University Medical Center and a practicing anesthesiologist. The videos you just saw is a collection of interviews from our previous meeting last year in January from the many members of our organization whose families or friends had had patient safety issues and some of these videos are really very telling. As you get to know us, the Patient Safety Movement Foundation, the organizers of Unite for Safe Care campaign has been running for the last 10 days. You'll learn that we're a global nonprofit that is tired of inaction and believes that gathering like-minded people, passionate people will help us reach our goal of zero preventable deaths even faster. Though we couldn't gather in person today, we have a phenomenal program for you. You'll hear from leaders who have been passionate about patient safety and healthcare worker safety for decades and others who are thrown into caring about this issue because of tragedy affected them or their families or their loved ones. To open our show here to join us is Dr. Tedros Adhanon-Gabrielsis, the director general of the World Health Organization to welcome us all to the second annual World Patient Safety Day. Dr. Tedros. Dear colleagues and friends, on behalf of WHO, I would like to extend our greetings to all the people joining the Unite for Safe Care campaign in honor of World Patient Safety Day. This year's focus is dedicated to the team of health worker safety which is a priority for patient safety. The COVID-19 pandemic highlights the serious difficulties health workers face around the world as they respond to this unprecedented public health challenge. Keeping our health workers safe makes us all safer. I would especially like to thank my friend, Joe Keani for his leadership at the founding chairman of the Patient Safety Movement Foundation. We're grateful to you, Joe, for your collaboration and partnership with WHO and for the generous donation by the Massimo Corporation to the COVID-19 Solidarity Response Fund and the WHO Foundation. In May 2019, the World Health Assembly adapted a resolution calling for global action on patient safety and established World Patient Safety Day to be observed every year on the 17th of September. World Patient Safety Day calls for global solidarity and concerted action by all countries and international partners to improve patient safety. Patient safety is at the heart of universal health coverage and the color orange is one of the signature colors of the Health for All logo. The COVID-19 pandemic has unveiled the huge challenges and risks health workers face as they do their work around the world. This includes healthcare-associated infections, burnout and stress, violence and stigma. Some of these risks may lead to illness and even death, as you know. Working in such difficult conditions can have negative consequences for patients too as health workers are more prone to making errors. The slogan for the World Patient Safety Day 2020 is clear, safe health workers, safe patients. Health workers' safety and patient safety are two sides of the same coin. As you know, every year millions of patients die or are injured due to adverse events at the result of unsafe healthcare. Most of these deaths and injuries are preventable. To ensure no one is left behind, it's vital that we work together in solidarity. And WHO is working to bring together policy makers, health workers, patients and the public and private sectors to improve patient safety. When errors do occur, it's important that we learn from them so that we can prevent them from happening again. By following best practices, we can avoid harm to patients and health workers alike. Patient safety and health workers' safety is everybody's business. Thank you, Dr. Tedrus, for joining us today for the Unite for Safe Care virtual event. This is the first program of its kind and we hope that you'll be inspired, laugh, be entertained and perhaps even move to tears and that you will become more educated about what you can do to improve patient safety and healthcare and ensure safer care for your family. This event would not have been possible without the generous support of our co-conveners, the American Society of Anesthesiologists, International Society of Quality and Healthcare and the LeapFrog Group who helped spread awareness of this program to their networks and encouraged many of you to be here today. And thank you for the long-standing support of our founding organization, the Massimo Foundation for Ethics, Innovation and Competition in Healthcare and our benefactor, Medtronic, for your continued support. And a huge thank you to our sponsors that are listed below. We want you also to help us remember those who have lost during these past months and celebrate those who have survived through the most incredible circumstances. For all of us, the pandemic has brought forth an important issue to the forefront of every media outlet in the planet. The healthcare system was broken before COVID-19 and became a household word, but now it's been stretched beyond relief. It's estimated that more than 200,000 people die of preventable errors in the U.S. alone, hospitals every year, and many more suffer from harm from these errors. Now healthcare workers are getting sick and dying as well since we got hit with the pandemic. Healthcare worker safety is patient safety because without them we cannot keep our patients safe. The good news is the system can be fixed if we all work together. Now COVID-19 is also getting close to that number of 200,000 preventable deaths. And this is really very concerning, but together we can beat it, we are beating it and we'll put this behind us and we'll learn a lot about it so that future pandemics will be much better prepared for. We conducted a poll in the midst of the pandemic at the end of April, and we discovered that most of you have never heard of the term medical error. In fact, 79% of Americans don't know that the safety of patients is compromised every day in healthcare. So it's important that we begin our programming today with some history to give you some context into why this matters to you, to your family, to your friends. If you're shocked, you're not alone. Let's watch a video about Lewis Blackman that we recorded several years ago, but it's still as relevant today. Lewis was our oldest child. We have two children. He was really a live wire. He was a very lively boy. He was also quite brilliant. He was one of the most highly intelligent people I've ever known, and he learned a lot. He knew a lot of things, far more than most adults. So he had this sort of wide and varied knowledge, and he also had a wicked sense of humor. So he was... Other children really enjoyed him. He was just a fun kid. He had a condition called Pectosexcovatum, which is a condition in which the breastbone doesn't really grow straight. It's a cosmetic condition. We saw an article in our local newspaper talking about this safe, minimally invasive new surgery. And we ended up taking our son for Pectosexcovatum. And Lewis came out of surgery, and we thought, phew, we've made it through that. About three days after surgery, he suddenly had this excruciating pain and his upper abdomen. He was prescribed a drug called Catorlactortol, which is an insane pain reliever like aspirin. He developed a perforated ulcer because he wasn't properly hydrated at the same time. And no one noticed. He declined for 30 hours, and they dismissed it as constipation. By the next morning, he had no blood pressure. He had sky-high pulse rate. He lost 2.8 liters of blood for a child's size. I think he had about four liters altogether. You know, I watched the color drain out of his lips. It was just like water going down in a glass, and they turned the same color as his skin. Just all the pink left his lips. It's really hard to even imagine seeing something like that. And then he said to me, it's going black, and he went to cardiac arrest. I ran out of the room. I thought he was having a seizure. I ran out of the room looking for help. These young residents and nurses were just astonished, and they worked on him for about an hour and a half before they gave up. But they never could bring him around. Losing Lewis has been devastating. I started in mothers against medical error, and we came back from the hospital. The first thing we did was the legislation. The Lewis Blackman Act. So one of the things that we have tried to work on is full disclosure. Informed consent, transparency, badges, labeling of people because we had been misled about who was a resident and who was a doctor. And rapid response, having an emergency number for people to call, and allowing people to call their doctors as well. So those were four things that had come directly from our case that we had seen that we thought we could fix with legislation. Lewis was monitored, but it kept alarming, and they would keep setting it lower and lower. And finally, they had it down at 85, and it still kept alarming.  Every patient deserves continuous monitoring. You never know what's going to happen, particularly with post-operative patients. Lewis is a prime example. He was a perfectly healthy child, which is why no one believed that he could possibly have anything wrong with him. So you need an objective observer like a monitor. My name is Jake Lyon, and I'll be one of your co-hosts for today's Unite for Safe Care virtual event. Hearing Lewis Blackman's story really highlights to me the life or death stakes of the patient safety movement. Lewis would have been 29 this year, and frankly, I can only imagine the burden that his family carries while working to spare others from that same tragic fate. My own father, who is the filmmaker who helped share this story with the world, has been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease for almost a decade. Right now, I just feel lucky that he was spared a disastrous medical error. Ultimately, though, this ought not be a matter of luck. This is a public and human rights issue. We want a future in which a medical emergency or a need for long-term care does not bankrupt us. We want healthcare that we can trust to be safe and that puts patients first over financial profits. In this opening segment on the history of medical error, you'll hear from health workers, administrators, public figures, and family members who have lived through preventable medical errors. This first segment is to help you understand why we're all uniting for safe care today. I was blown away by what Mike Ramsey said. Nearly 79% of Americans don't know that the safety of patients is compromised every day in healthcare. Now, let's hear from Danielle Ofri. So many of us are familiar with Peter Kronervos' very famous intervention on catheter-related infections when it came up with the five-item checklist. Very simple. Make sure the areas sterile use sterile gowns, use sterile dressings, not rocket science, and yet the infection rate plummeted almost to zero. But 135 years earlier, Florence Nightingale did almost the same thing with almost the same steps. She'd used the words clean where he used sterile, but in fact her rules for making medical care safer were the same. Make sure the patient is wearing clean clothing. Make sure the nurse or the doctor is wearing clean clothing. Clean the wound, wash your hands, put a clean dressing on. And when she showed up in the 1850s to the Skatari British Army Hospital in the Ottoman Empire, four times as many patients, four times as many people were dying of... When she came to the military hospital in the Skatari region of the Ottoman Empire, four times as many people were dying of infection and disease and then were dying on the battlefield. And so she began... And the first thing she did was to rigorously collect data. Where were the deaths happening? Where was food being prepared? Where was waste being removed? Who was taking care of the patients? What were they wearing? What were they doing?  But in fact, she showed, as did Peter Pronavost a century plus later, that if you don't measure where the problems are, you'll never figure out what's going on and how to fix it. Now, within a year, her mortality rate at her hospital plummeted from something like 33% down to 4%. Just by measuring where the problems are, making intervention, making simple rules, and then measuring the outcome. And I look at Florence Nightingale as really the patron saint of the patient safety movement. We think of her mainly as a nurse and the beginning of professional nursing. And in fact, this year, 2020, is the 100th anniversary of her birth. And so the WHO has made 2020 the year of the nurse and rightly so. But we should also think of Florence Nightingale as our first patient safety expert, our first biostatistician who recognized that in order to make healthcare, to make medical care safer, we need to measure what's going on.


Hi, I'm Geoff Watts, and this video is about battle mapping. Battle mapping can be a really helpful technique to help you think through a challenging and complicated stakeholder management situation. And this video will explain what battle mapping is, how to create and use a battle map, and what to be careful of when creating a battle map. Battle mapping is a stakeholder management and influencing technique adapted for the military. If you find yourself feeling overwhelmed by a seemingly unchangeable situation or needing to influence a rather powerful or perhaps obstinate person, then battle mapping can be a useful mental exercise that helps open up possibilities. Before I explain the technique though, I'll just begin with a caveat. This is a military metaphor, and not everyone will feel comfortable with it, but please remember it is simply a metaphor. By all means, use the technique with a different metaphor if you prefer. The first step with battle mapping is to lay out the battlefield. This involves identifying who all the stakeholders are. So to use an example, let's say I've got a manager in the organisation who's interfering with the work of me and my development team. There we are. We'll call this manager Ian. Now my goal is to stop Ian negatively interfering with me and the team. Oh, I could try talking to Ian directly. That would be great. But let's say I don't feel comfortable doing that, or let's say perhaps I've already tried that and it hasn't worked. When I lay out the battlefield, I look for who else is on the field of play. So perhaps we have a product owner who's responsible for the overall return and investment of the work we're doing as a team. Perhaps we have a line manager who's responsible for our development and has got an interest in our output and our happiness levels. Perhaps Ian has colleagues, customers and managers. Perhaps there's another team that Ian interacts with. We would try and find out as many people who are involved or who could become involved with the situation at hand and draw them on our battle map. Step two is to identify the allegiances. Now we might colour in green anyone who we could consider to be an ally. That's someone who's actively on our side and might go to battle with us metaphorically. We might colour in blue anyone who supports us but in a less proactive and perhaps more passive manner than our allies. Grey would be for those who've got no interest in whether we succeed or not but anyone who would rather we failed, we could colour in orange and label them threats. And anyone who may actively seek to undermine sabotage or perhaps otherwise challenge our aims, we could colour red and label an enemy. Of course, there will always be some stakeholders whose allegiance we're unsure of and that's OK, we'll just leave those unknowns as white for now. Now our battlefield's looking more colourful and it could already give us an insight into what to do next. Perhaps just by looking at this we can see and understand the pressures that Ian is under that are driving his behaviours. And this might allow us to talk to him with greater empathy and help us find a way to make his situation easier without negatively influencing us. Anyway, after we've identified the allegiances, step three is to map out the influences. Here we simply draw arrows to represent the direction of the influence and the thick of the line the more influence that person holds. Now influence could be formal, such as management power or informal, such as respect. But once we see the lines we can then start to look for some what we might call tactical strikes. For example, we may be able to use our influence with the product owner and our line manager's influence with the product owner to indirectly influence Ian. And this could reduce Ian's influence over us and possibly even reduce his threat level. Some influence strategies might be more long term and what we might call strategic plays. For example, we might lobby our product owner to use her network within Ian's customers and her relationship with another product owner to influence Ian. Battlemappings are a tool that I've seen help many people and teams take greater control over their situations, see more possibility and begin to make progress when influencing stakeholders. It's not magic though and there are many other factors that affect the success of your influencing strategies, not least of which your ability to empathize with those involved and avoid appearing manipulative. A couple of complementary techniques I've found useful are the use of powerful questions and persuasion techniques. Powerful questions such as if a future version of yourself were here, what would their advice be to you? And who do you think would handle this situation brilliantly? What would they do? And what are you assuming about this situation that might not be correct? And persuasion techniques such as helping them to visualize the future and make a change more attractive? Or gathering social proof to justify your point of view? Well, of course you should be careful with the metaphor, especially if it extends into bringing in air support and assassinations and other aspects of warfare. And of course you need to be careful labelling colleagues as threats and enemies because that could easily backfire. But the idea of visualizing your stakeholders and the influence maps between them, then identifying quick wins and strategic plays could be very helpful for you or your team.

Let's try this Hess's Law type problem. So this one says from the following heats of combustion, it gives you these three reactions reacting with oxygen, so they're combustion reactions. And then it gives you the standard heat of each of the reactions there on the right. And then it wants you to calculate the enthalpy of formation of methanol from its elements. And I've written that equation down here on the bottom for you all. So let's go about figuring out how to do this. So what we need to know is the final reaction equation that we're looking for, and we need to get the things that are on this side of the final reaction equation, on this side of the other reaction equations, the component in the reaction equations. So hopefully you can see something like C graphite is there, right? H2 is there, albeit not in the right coefficient quantities, do you see that? And O2 is there as well. But if we look over here, methanol, CH3OH, is on the reactant side. And in our final reaction, it's on the product side. So that gives us a clue as to what we want to do. So for this reaction here, we're actually going to flip it around, OK? So let's turn it around. I've got my blue pen out, so we can turn it around with a different color. So 2H2O gas, O2 gas, we're here, methanol, liquid, 3 halves, O2 gas, OK? So that doesn't only mess with the reactants and products, but it changes the heat of reaction from, since this was an exothermic, it's going to turn it into an endothermic reaction, OK? So if you want to remember your reaction coordinates, OK, and how the forward reaction and reverse reaction will be the same delta H, but opposite values, OK? So what we're going to have here is going to be the new delta H of reaction. I'll put a little. So it's going to be positive 726 kilojoules per mole, like that. Does that make sense? OK. So I'm going to erase that top reaction so it doesn't mess with us, OK? And so our blue reaction is the one that we're interested in now, at least where those processes that were in that initial reaction are concerned, OK? So now hopefully we see, well, here the coefficient of H2 is 2, but up here it's 1. So eventually we're going to add all these things up and it's going to be this. We're going to add all these things up and it's going to be this. But if we see, we only got 1H here, 1H2 here, right? And we've got 2H2s here. So what are we going to have to do? We're going to have to multiply this equation by 2. So these are just like algebraic equations. So what you do to one thing in the equation, you've got to do to everything, OK? So if we take this and say we're going to multiply this by 2, like that, we've also got to take this over here and multiply it by 2, like that, OK? So what's our new equation going to be? I'm just going to rewrite it here with blue coefficients. So 1 times 2 is 2, 1 half times 2 is just 1, right? And 1 times 2 is 2, OK? So the new delta H of reaction, well, what is it going to be? It's going to be negative 285.8 times 2, right? 285.8 times 2 and I get negative 571.6 kilojoules per month. Are you OK with what we've done so far? OK. So now, well, all we've got to do is add these things up and anything that's on both sides of the reaction, we do what, too? Cancel that, right? OK. So hopefully, so just go through every one of the species that you see on each side of the reaction to see if they're on the other side. And the same number of moles or coefficients, whatever you prefer to think about. So let's start with carbon dioxide. So overall, we've got one carbon dioxide on this side of the equation, right? And we look over here, what do we got? One carbon dioxide. So what's going to happen to it? Cancel. Cancel, right? So cancel, cancel. OK, look at the 2H2O. So we got here. Do we got 2H2O somewhere on the other side? Yes. So those are going to be canceled, like that, OK? So now, C graphite, right? Carbon graphite, do we see that anywhere over here? No. No? So we don't cancel it, OK? So let's do the 2H2s. Do we see them anywhere over here? No. No, so we don't cancel them. So how many O2s do we have? One, two, right? So we have two. What is 3 halves? That's one and a half, right? 1.5. So let's just write that up there, 1.5, so it doesn't confuse us. So can we do that? Is that all right? So let's just say 1.5. So if we have 2Os here and 1.5 over there, what's going to happen? We're going to cancel one, right? And cancel another half there. So we're going to have half and O2 there, OK? And none there, OK? So what do we have here? C graphite, we said there's none over there. H2s, there's none over there. Half O2, is there any more O2s over there? No. And then we add these things up. So we got C graphite plus 2H2Os plus 1.5 O2. Is that what we have down here? Yes. And over here, all we've got is the one methanol liquid, and that's what we have over there, right? So now what we're going to do, so we've got it right. So we know that all we have to do is add up these three numbers, and that'll give us the heat of formation of this molecule, OK? So let's go ahead and do that. So if you want to, label these as like that. So heat of formation is going to be delta H reaction 1, that first one, plus delta H reaction plus delta H, OK? And I'm just saying because I changed that one in, I changed that one, OK? So just plug and chug down, right? So heat of the first reaction is going to be plus 726.4 kilojoules per mole plus a negative 393.5 kilojoules per mole plus a negative 571.6 kilojoules per mole, like that, OK? So now let's just add those numbers up. 726.4 minus 393.5, subtract that, or subtract 7, or 571.6 from that, and I get negative 230.7 kilojoules. So is this an exothermic reaction or an endothermic reaction? Is it giving off heat, or is it taking in heat? What is the negative mean? The heat is leaving, so what is it doing? It's giving off heat, right? So is this an exothermic reaction or an endothermic reaction? Exothermic. Any questions on Hess's law? No.


Cool. Next up, we've got an awesome speaker who I'm really excited to introduce. Her name's Annie Lai. She's with Huawei and she's on the OpenStack Foundation board. I've had an opportunity to work with her and I just, I couldn't be more excited that she's here. She's done amazing work in China to help grow OpenStack adoption, but also just contributing day in and day out with a lot of passion. And so before we hear from her, we're gonna have a quick video from Huawei and then you're gonna get to hear from the Annie Lai. Thank you. The age of this smart society is rapidly approaching and will revolutionize how our physical and virtual worlds interact. The cloud will play a significant role and enable industries to emerge and grow within it. Huawei is a customer-centric ICT technology and service provider. Whose all-cloud strategy helps customers transform their traditional IT into cloud using the latest technological innovations. Huawei Fusion Severe is an OpenStack-powered cloud platform, which has been deployed in many industries such as telecommunication, financial services, government, media, education, automobile industry, etc. Huawei firmly believes that Open Source drives innovation and actively supports and promotes various Open Source technologies and communities by hosting regional and global developer networking events. Communicating customer requirements and initiating innovative projects in communities. Join us in building our cloud SQL system. Together, we can make our dreams a reality. Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Annie Lai. Thank you. It's so good to see you in such a beautiful city Barcelona. Before I start, I just want to give you a little bit background about Huawei. Huawei has been in the telecom technology and service business for the last 29 plus years, and 14 years ago, we made a conscious decision that we have to invest in IT, which is because we think IT and CT are converging, and we need to create ICT solutions in order to better serve our customers, both telco and enterprise customers. Due to our heritage in telecom, so the kind of projects that we pick out tend to be large-sized projects, and sometimes they are multinational, multi-year projects. And a lot of times, we would even venture out into unknown territories. In those situations, we will build a joint innovation center with our customers, or we will co-invest with our customers. Because we firmly believe that by only working closely with our customers, that's how we can push technology boundaries while helping customers innovate their business. So for the next eight, nine minutes, I'm going to share with you some of our OpenStack customer cases and their thoughts on what OpenStack should be moving forward. As you know, OpenStack is a little bit over six years old, compared to Linux, 25 years old. We are still a youngster. However, our speed of innovation and our presence in data center are not less than Linux, which is mostly due to our open collaborative platform and culture. So far, we have six core projects, over 60 Big Ten projects, and a lot more in the pipeline. For a six-year-old community, it's not too bad. In the last two years, we have been putting focused effort in making OpenStack Enterprise ready by adding a lot of RAS features and functionalities and making improvements in management and usability. And we have work groups that help achieve that goal, too. I know we're not perfect, but we're getting there. And lately, we've been seeing a lot of interesting use cases in the areas of data center monetization, business innovation, and digital transformation of various industries. So we can actually say OpenStack is physically and virtually moving into all industries. There's a book titled The Fourth Industrial Revolution written by Professor Klaus Schwab. In that book, he actually mentioned that the first three industrial revolutions were based on the discovery of steam engine, electricity, computer and telecom technologies. And we are at the beginning of the fourth industrial revolution, which is generally caused by the digital transformation, which is impacting the way we live our lives, the way we work, and the way we connect with one another. Companies are talking about uberizing their business in order to stay competitive or to stay survive. Cloud is the cornerstone of all these digitization or uberization. Telco is probably one of the first couple industries who truly have to take cloud seriously because their competitive landscape is changing due to OTT. So telcos have to embrace cloud fast. Telcos' cloud journey generally starts with building a private cloud. Here I have a customer example who is a first tier multinational telco based in Latin America. Since 2015, they have launched OpenStack-based private cloud running OSS, BSS, CRM and office management systems in six countries where they have their subsidiaries and subnets. OpenStack has allowed them to create a standardized cloud platform and share resources and services and improve their overall IT operations and costs. And very often when telcos working on their private clouds, they are actually paving the way for their NFV projects. NFV is designed to improve their network services. SFR is a French telecom. They announced their OpenStack-based NFV this year at the TM Forum in East. One of their architects from SFR actually said their OpenStack-based NFV has helped them enjoy the benefits of more agile platform, faster time to market, lower operational cost, and most importantly, it has helped them improve their customer experience of their network services. The third area of interest for telco is public cloud.  I actually have a different perspective, especially for regions outside of US where data sovereignty and security are very important. In addition, telcos also have existing relationship with customers due to their network services. And a lot of telcos outside of US have a relationship with the government. They are strongly backed by the government. And most importantly, telco owns the network. So I think telco definitely has a very competitive advantage in becoming the preferred national brand of public cloud service provider. And this year at March, Deutsche Telekom and Huawei, we announced our joint venture, DTOTC, which is Deutsche Telekom OpenTelecom Cloud, which is an OpenStack-based large cloud, and it guarantees 99% service availability at the infrastructure tier. Later, there's going to be a speaker from DT who is going to talk more about DTOTC in detail, so please stay tuned for that. The next example I want to show you is a government cloud based on OpenStack. Jiaxi is a beautiful province situated in the southeast of China. It is generally known for its beautiful landscape of rice paddies, mountains, and rivers. Yet Jiaxi has more than 45 million populations, 11 prefectures, and 99 counties. Can you imagine the complexity of managing such a complex government? Jiaxi government actually this year, they have launched their two-tier OpenStack-based government cloud. Resources are located in a distributed environment. Services are created at the provincial level and the municipal level and be shared by all the counties. This is all done possible because of OpenStack. This year, Jiaxi government has created, migrated, and standardized over 1,300 services. OpenStack has allowed Jiaxi government to improve its overall efficiency and better serve their citizens. Dongfeng Automobile, a motor corporation, is one of the big three car makers in China. Last year, Dongfeng sold close to 4 million cars. Dongfeng is a group company that has many subsidiaries and regional offices serving their customers. This year, Dongfeng has announced its five-year digital transformation plan based on OpenStack. Dongfeng has four technical bases running their operational backbone and digital service backbone. Services are created at the group level and are shared at all subsidiaries and regional offices. OpenStack is the key to the success of Dongfeng's digital transformation. So hopefully, by now, you see a trend here. I've talked about telco cloud, government cloud, manufacturing cloud, and there's also media cloud, transportation cloud, education cloud, et cetera. We're seeing the emergence of industrial cloud, which is defined as industry-specific, cloud-based, preconfigured, with elastic and scalable capacity, information, and resources deliver as a form of service to its business entities of that industry. We think OpenStack is a very good fit for industry cloud due to its openness, its scalability, its interoperability, and API-driven architecture. To conclude, I would like to share with you what our customers think about OpenStack. Our customers are very happy with our speed of innovation, which is due to our open collaborative platform and environment and culture. And customers are very happy that we're putting more emphasis on enterprise, making OpenStack enterprise ready. Moving forward, in order to make OpenStack more industry ready, we need to have a better understanding of our customer situations. So for developers, I would like to urge you, when you write that blueprint, when you write that line of code, when you make that commit, think about how eventually our users and customers will take advantage of your creation. For product folks, I'd like to urge you to join product workgroup and other workgroups to help our community better understand customer requirements. Industry clouds are already happening and they are going to be more and more prevalent. They tend to be service-driven. Resources are physically distributed, but need to be logically orchestrated and managed with one single point of management. Services need to be federated, not just across data centers, but also across clouds, both OpenStack cloud and non-OpenStack cloud. Next, I would like to urge the community to think global. OpenStack is truly a global movement. OpenStack consists of member companies coming from more than 180 countries. This year, I helped organize the first OpenStack Day in China. It was kind of a last-minute grassroots effort. We only had three months to prepare for, so we didn't have a lot of expectation initially. But at the day of the event, we were pleasantly surprised that we had more than 3,000 registrants, more than 2,400 attendees. The energy was just astounding from that event. This year, Newton released 23 Chinese companies contributed to that release. The energy level from the Chinese developers was just amazing. And of course, I'm also seeing the similar energy happening in Japan, in India, in Taiwan, in Australia, in Korea, in other countries in APEC, as well as your market. And more and more, we're seeing momentum happening in Latin America as well. So I would like to urge the community to think global when you write code or when you create a process for OpenStack. Last but not the least, I would like to encourage our community to think innovation. I actually think we are limiting ourselves by constantly comparing OpenStack against those proprietary cloud platforms out there based on features and functionality. Because ultimately, our goal is to create something amazing for our users and customers. Our goal is to deliver our customer requirements instead of playing catch-up with competition. I like what Mr. Imak Susu from Intel once said, open source, open mind. I really love that phrase. Let's be open-minded. Let's be innovative. Let's think outside of box. And that's to try something that nobody else has done in the industry. Because that is the only way we can push the technology boundaries and make OpenStack unique. Thank you. Thank you, Annie Lai. She's an amazing speaker. I'm really excited we were able to get her for today. I was actually reminded of another stat listening to her talk that I recently discovered that might surprise some of you, that we actually, in the Newton release, had more developers in Asia than in North America that contributed to the Newton release. And about a quarter of the developers were right here in Europe. So that really shows that OpenStack is a global movement. And a lot of the efforts from Annie have helped us get there.


Staying with the National Assembly this time around to the Law Chamber, the House of Representatives has passed for a second reading, A bill seeking to repeal and enact the Standards Organization of Nigeria Act with provisions to increase penalty for offences relating to the standardization of products in the country. The bill contains provisions to criminalize the production, manufacturing, importation, distribution, display, advertising for sale or in any way dealing in some standard life and day-jerk products. Plus the beneath correspondent Immanuel Ehigini completes the report. The Standard Organization of Nigeria was established by Act No. 56 of 1971. Its establishment was aimed at developing, coordinating or otherwise contributing to the technical standards of products coming into the country through the seaports, airports and through the nation's borders. To this end, the Green Chamber, as a way of strengthening this core mandate of the organization, has decided to impose a custodial sentence of five years without an option of fine for defaults who break the Standard Organization laws. The bill also mandates the organization to publish annually products deemed as life endangering and proposes a 50% increment across the board for all fines under the old Act to align with current economic realities. The amendment also expunged the power of the organization embedded in the old Act to destroy Assad's goods without an order from the courts. The bill for an Act to repeal the Standard Organization of Nigeria, Act S9, laws of the Federation of Nigeria 2004, and enact the Standard Organization of Nigeria bill 2002 for the purpose of providing additional functions for the organization, increasing penalty for violation and for related matters, HB169, the very second time, as you proposed, Mr Speaker. In order developments, the House owes the Chiefs of Defence and the Army to commence a comprehensive investigation on the assault of residents of Boko and guests of Udban Hotel, Boko by men of the 401 Special Forces Brigade of the Nigerian Army. In a motion sponsored by Honourable Mark Miller from Benner State, the lawmakers expressed worries that the same team of soldiers was allegedly responsible for the extrajudicial killings of at least two persons in Boko in two separate instances on the same day. The Chiefs of Defence staff and the Chiefs of Army staff should be summoned to appear before the House to explain how their members, their men of the Army, are not trained appropriately with rules of engagement in civilized civilian communities and have resorted to attacking people. And finally, Mr Speaker, this same team of the 401 Special Brigade are alleged to have killed two people for allegedly snatching ball-out boxes. Mr Speaker, I do not want to set a precedent in this country where men of the military can kill extrajudicially for the sake of ball-out boxes. I do not see any crime that requires a death sentence. The House also considered reports of the Conference Committee on a Bill for an Act to establish the National Centre for the Coordination and Control of the Preflation of Small Ams and Light Weapons in Nigeria. As well as reports of the Committee on Health Institutions on a Bill for an Act to amend the Feudal Medical Centre Act to establish the Feudal Medical Centre, Eastern Okbolu, Akwaibom and four related matters.


Hey everyone, before we get into today's video, I want to let you know that I'm giving away a copy of Animal Crossing New Horizons, a digital code on Nintendo Switch. To enter all you need to do is subscribe to the channel, hit the bell icon, like this video, and comment down below. In fact, if you do that on all of our videos this entire month through March 18th, you get additional entries per video. And yeah, the winner will be announced on March 19th. The digital code is actually already purchased. It's back here. Can you find it? No, you can. You can find the receipt, but you can't find the code. Today, the Nintendo Switch turns three years old. Well, yesterday, depending on if you're from Japan or other areas. But March 3rd is when I was able to actually play the Nintendo Switch. I stood in line at GameStop. And it was an interesting experience at GameStop because I actually had the Switch in my hand two hours and 15 minutes before midnight. I had the Nintendo Switch. I had the Breath of the Wild Master Edition, which is over there. I had all the Breath of the Wild Amiibo. I had one, two Switch. And I think I even had a Nintendo Switch Pro Controller all in two GameStop bags inside my local GameStop store. Just standing there, already checked out, but unable to leave the store, not allowed to open anything until midnight actually hit. Very, very weird, but that's just the way console launches work. You have to wait until midnight. So yeah, they were nice enough to at least do that. And so you don't have to like stand in line at midnight and then wait, you know, hours sometimes to get through the line. So it was cool. It was nice. And I went home. We did a really crappy unboxing video, Eric and I, of both of our Switches. And then literally at 1 a.m., I started a Breath of the Wild livestream. And so began my journey on Nintendo Switch. Now, obviously Breath of the Wild is something I had played at E3 2016 on Wii U. So it is a Wii U port to Switch. So 1, 2 Switch was really the first exclusive Switch experience I had. And I actually enjoyed 1, 2 Switch, but honestly, when I look back on the last three years of Switch, I just keep thinking that Switch is my favorite video game platform as an adult. And I've played quite a few from PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, obviously, you know, DS and 3DS.  Vita, I played a little bit in there. PSP. But like, out of all these platforms that I've touched in my adult life, including gaming PCs, which by the way, I think gaming PCs need to be set aside in a conversation like this because it's a never-ending platform. It's not like there's new generation, like there's new generations of hardware, but you could play games across so many generations of hardware that, you know, gaming PCs don't count. Let's just put it that way. I've been a PC gamer my whole life. I'm going to throw that away for this discussion because the Nintendo Switch has become my favorite, I guess, home console, portable console. As an adult, it does both, right? You take this system right here, you drop it in the dock, and suddenly you're playing on TV. Heck, here's an OG Switch. Here's a Switch version 2. There's a Switch Lite that I don't own. Many different variants of it. And out of all of this stuff the last three years, I just walk away utterly impressed with what Switch has done to me as a gamer because you see, I am an adult. I am a parent of three children. And as I have discovered and didn't even realize, I thought I played a lot of video games growing up. I did as a kid, certainly. And as a young adult, you know, in my early college years, I still did play quite a bit of video games. But as I became a parent, I still thought I was gaming a lot until Switch came into my life. See, Wii U helped give me some gaming life back. I let my kids watch a show on TV while I sat on the couch and played on the game pad. But something about the Switch itself, just being able to take it out of the room, into the bedroom, into the bathroom, into wherever I was going on walks even, has enabled me to game in ways that I didn't realize I wanted to game in. And it's really made me more of a gamer. I spent thousands and thousands of hours gaming on Switch and I didn't spend that kind of time gaming on Wii U. I didn't spend that kind of time gaming on PlayStation 3 or Xbox 360, at least after I had children, because I just didn't have the time. And what Switch has done is given me my time back. And it's not just because I have a YouTube channel now and I get to talk about video games. It's because Switch has created more time for me to play. Am I on a flight off to E3? Guess what? That's three hours I get to play Nintendo Switch that I wouldn't have been able to really play. Too many video games I wanted to play in the past. Yes, with 3DS and all this stuff, there's options to play. But Switch gives me home console games. It gives me Breath of the Wild. It gives me Super Mario Odyssey. Fire Emblem 3 Houses. It gives me the Witcher 3, for crying out loud, on the go. And that's exciting. And you see the ability to take the games on the go and play them on the TV. Even if they're dumbed down versions like Mortal Kombat 11 and Witcher 3 aren't necessarily the greatest or Doom isn't the greatest version of those games. They're still better than not having those games at all. And I think that's what makes the Switch platform so endearing to me, is that it has opened up a whole world of gaming to me that I've always had available, but not necessarily available at the times I actually have a capability to play. Now yeah, when you drop it on the TV and play in Doctor Mode, it's not the most impressive experience for a lot of these multi-platform third-party games, but it's still passable. It's still enjoyable. And when you have games like Witcher 3 here, now it's got PC Crosses. So if I want to play the highest fidelity with Hairworks on and 4K, 120 FPS, or whatever, I could just port my save file over to Steam and play it on my PC. So in some cases, you know, rare cases, I actually get to enjoy a nice portable experience while getting the best of the best visuals when I'm sitting down. So at home anyway. So I honestly think that Switch has just reignited my passion in gaming. And I think the Switch has reignited Nintendo's passion as well. We have gotten some of the best versions of Nintendo games. If not the best in the series, some of the best in a long time. Super Smash Bros. Ultimate to me is the greatest Smash Bros. game ever made, period. It even beats out Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 64, which was my previous favorite game in the series. You have Breath of the Wild. It is now my favorite Zelda game and not just that, my favorite game of all time. It's beating out games like Final Fantasy 7, or Ocarina of Time, or Majora's Mask, or heck, duh, beating out things like Secret of Mana, which was my favorite game of all time, until Breath of the Wild. So it's crazy to me that you have one of the best Zeldas ever. You have one of the best Smash Bros. games ever. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, which is just more Mario Kart 8 from the Wii U, is even better on Switch. So that's the best version of Mario Kart. Splatoon 2 is better than Splatoon 1, in my opinion. So Splatoon 2 is amazing. We had a brand new franchise in Arms Come Out, which is one of the most unique arena-style fighting games, period, in a long time, and I don't even like fighting games, and I think Arms is a lot of fun. It really appeals to me almost more than Smash Bros. in some cases. Obviously, Fire Emblem 3 House has hit a massive home run. We have another new IP and Astral Chain. The hits just keep on coming. Super Mario Party is one of the best Mario Party games in forever. Still not as good as, I'd say, 1 through 5, but one of the best since then. So that's crazy, crazy good news. Mario Tennis Aces nailed the gameplay, and is certainly better than Mario Tennis Ultimate or whatever the hell it was called on Wii U. That was just a tech demo, basically, and not even a good one. You know, you have Link's Awakening Remastered, who can complain about that?  This game right here, I'm playing Luigi's Mansion 3, and I'm just, oh, I'm gushing with excitement. It might be my favorite Luigi's Mansion game to date, beating out the original, because right now I have the original, and then Dark Moon, and I think Luigi's Mansion 3 might top all of them. Pokémon Sword and Shield, yeah, you could say what you want about the controversy and the National Dex and all that.  I don't know, I seem to be enjoying them, so I don't really have too many complaints. I'm not, you know, like some other fans that get that picky about those experiences, and I get that for hardcore Pokémon fans, maybe that's not it, but there's just so much to love. Even Yoshi's Crafted World, I ended up really enjoying it, and I did a review on it. That's a watch I enjoyed it. Snipperclips is a really interesting co-op experience, great for couples, and then there's, you know, some additions to Snipperclips and DLC and all that. There's even a physical version of it, believe it or not. There's just a lot to love.  I just picked up NBA 2K 20 for 20 bucks, brand new, and I can't wait to dive into it. I know I'm not a fan of the micro-transactions they put in the single player, but for 20 bucks, I'll play as Giannis in the books and try to win the title. Why not? I love sports games, and it's nice to see a full-fledged NBA game, the best NBA game, to be honest, on Switch. In fact, EA and other companies, let's get Madden and FIFA and stuff over, because why not? There's obviously an audience for 2K. Why wouldn't there be an audience for that? Honestly, the Switch has just been amazing. Nintendo, first-party killing it, indie games are killing it. I mean, can we even talk about indie games? The blossom tales of the world, and that might not even be your favorite. There's Hollow Knight and, to be honest, there's almost two. If I'm going to dive into indie games, it's going to be a 20-minute video on its own. There are so many amazing indie games. I mean, I've been playing a lot of Galliant S or whatever. I've been playing a lot of lately. There's just too many. Silksong, I mean, God, when's that coming? Oh, I played that back at E3. Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3, we have that in that indie game, but another exclusive game on Switch. There's just so much going for it. Remember, on Autobot Traveler it was exclusive? Remember that it's a multi-platform now, because we're getting a sequel. My mind is blown at how amazing this platform is, and we're getting all these really nice exclusives or timed exclusives, all these amazing indie games, we've got Cuphead on Switch now, and we're also getting the multi-platform AAA third-party games. Some, not all, things aren't perfect, and we get a lot of the games late. We're going to get Doom Eternal late. We did get Mortal Kombat 11 day in day, but pretty much every other major AAA multi-platform game on Switch, NBA 2K, has come out late on the platform. But we're still getting them, and that's way better than a Wii U, when we got them for like a year, maybe two at most, and then they dipped out, and that was that. We don't have everything. We still needed the Call of Duty as the world on here. We need to get other games on here. But, you know, what we are getting is making Switch so amazing to me. Again, if you prefer some of these multi-platform games, that's fine, go play on your Xbox or PlayStation 4 or your PC. There's no problem with that. I don't care if you prefer those platforms, but I don't have the time to sit down and game like I once did, and Switch is enabling me to be a gamer. Again, like I once was when I was younger, before I had more responsibility on my shoulders, before I needed to make these videos. I don't even need to make them. I enjoy making them, before I enjoyed making these videos.  It's amazing that I can find time to game like I once did because of this platform. I feel like I don't have to sacrifice being a gamer to be a dad. I don't have to sacrifice being a gamer to provide for my family.  So, my takeaway, Switch the last three years, it is my favorite platform as an adult. And I say as an adult because my favorite platform of all time is still the Super Nintendo, and I won't be able to judge if this passes the Super Nintendo until we get to the end of life. And then I can maybe declare, hey, Switch is the greatest gaming platform ever made, but what I can say is Switch is on its way to being the greatest gaming platform ever made, at least for me. So, I want to know your fondest memories with Switch so far the last three years. I want to know what your great takeaways are with this platform. And I just want to know in general, do you like your Switch? It's not perfect. There's Joy-Con drift issues. There's BendGate where the Switches were bending. Obviously, the hacking community has done some things. Everything isn't exactly the way it wanted to be. I've had stick grinding issues with the pro controllers and nothing's perfect. But it's almost just good enough to not matter to me. Anyways, let me know what you think about Switch the last three years down in the comments below. Your favorite games, all that jazz. There's so many more that I didn't even cover because there's just an incredible, incredible amount of content on Switch. That's all I got for you. So, happy birthday, Switch. Three years old.
