Good day fellow investors, I really hope you're doing great. Today we're going to discuss profitability by analyzing Uber and Tesla and what are they doing especially the new payment package for Elon Musk. We're gonna deepen a little bit on demographics and youth unemployment because it's crucial for long-term investors. We're gonna talk about what could Buffett be buying now, as he said that he is net buying stocks. Then we're going to discuss currencies and the weak dollar as the US Treasury Secretary likes the weak dollar. And we're gonna finish by discussing stock market news, the risk of a stock and what analysts do after the news have happened by discussing Qudion and Pre-Tune, two stocks that we have covered in the past and they have had very interesting developments lately. So stay tuned. Alright, in a recent interview the new Uber CEO discussed how maybe the core of their business will be profitable in the next three years but they won't be profitable for certain as a whole company because they are investing a lot in autonomous drive as they see that will be the core of their business in the future. However, what I'm very, very interested is for how long will those companies like SoftBank be willing to invest in unprofitable companies with very, very low probabilities of succeeding in the long term like Uber. Now, I know everybody looks at Uber but Uber has been existing only in an upside economical cycle. When there is a recession, when there will be huge competition, there isn't so much competition. Why? Because it isn't profitable. As soon as the business turns profitable, as there is some margins to make it profitable, there will be tons of sharks getting in the business, sharks with better technology, better management, better cars, better money. So that's something that few understand but there are so many investors that are chasing those returns. And that's my question. For how long will that be like this? That a company like Uber that's burning 1 billion in cash per year or per quarter can survive and keep getting new money. Their valuation was at 70 billion a while ago. Now it's already lower below 50 billion. Nevertheless, if we look at their revenues, okay, gross booking is one thing. Net revenue, according to accounting, really grew but is 3 billion and the loss was around 1 billion just for the fourth quarter. So they are losing 4 billion per year and they will continue to do that for the next three years and even more. This just shows how irrational this market is. And the second example that shows the same thing is Tesla. Now, Tesla announced that the CEO will get a bonus compensation of 55.8 billion if he reaches all his milestones. The main milestone is 650 billion in market capitalization. If he doesn't reach 100 billion, he doesn't get anything, no pay, no salary. Okay, you might say that's a big deal but the salary bonuses are not really a big deal because Tesla is a binary option. A binary option means that Tesla either succeeds or fails. There is no in between and Elon Musk knows that very well and that's why he has to push, he has to promote, he has to market his idea as long as it is possible because what's the key to Tesla's success? The key are capital rounds, financing, continuing, getting the capital to continue to work on his ideas.  However, from a profitability standpoint, as long as there is again so much money lying around, so much money going after the risk, this is all a consequence of monetary easing around the world. The Fed, Central Bank, ECB, Bank of Japan print money, put money into the system and that money comes out looking for risky assets like Uber, like Tesla. Let's dig deeper here. What are the milestones? So 650 billion market capitalization to get all the money in addition to revenue hitting 175 billion, which means 15 times more than 2017 levels and adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization to hit 14 billion, 21 times annualized 2017 levels. And here is my question now. If you sum up the adjusted EBITDA for this eight years and compare it to what Elon Musk will get, you will see that Elon Musk will get 58 millions and this is 59 millions is the total adjusted EBITDA before earnings, before taxes, before depreciation, before amortization. So practically they are saying for the next eight years Tesla will be unprofitable. If you want something, if you want the big promise of the 650 billion in market capitalization, you have to stick to Tesla for another 10 years. So that's the marketing. Unprofitability, we promise you unprofitability, there have been unicores like Amazon who have done that in the past and with that story they are catching in new investors more and more money. As long as money is free, it's practically riskless for those investors to invest in such companies. As soon as the cost of money increases, interest rates increase, there could be much contractions in looking for such risky assets. And Elon Musk knows that and therefore he has to promote now to get as big as it can in order to get easier financing to continue for the next 10 years of not profitability. Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization is not profitability. And then there is something else and this is the focus on market capitalization. With this chart, Elon Musk is telling the world what should be the valuation for Tesla from the current perspective. Because if we take the EBITDA of 14 billion that is expected after eight years or whenever from Tesla and give it a normal automotive industry ratio valuation, Tesla's market capitalization doesn't go much higher than what it is now. 14 billion times five times seven we get to 50 to 100 billion. Like a normal automotive company. Okay, I know Tesla is much more than that. It will change the world. Yes, when it changes the world, when it becomes profitable, there will be so much competition. And then we are talking again about a normal company. That's how I see it. The risk is there. Play the trend if you want to play the trend. But understand that all what's going on is thanks to cheap, practically free money coming from the last eight years and monetary easing. Those companies have to take advantage of that as long as the party lasts. How long will the party last? We'll discuss that tomorrow when the Ray Dalio tells us exactly how long will the party last. We'll see if he will be right, but the ideas are very, very interesting. All right, demographics we discussed last week, some demographics. Now the IMF urges action on Europe generation gap. Europeans incomes have stagnated since the economic crisis, but those of the elderly rose by 10%. So in Europe, more and more older people, those people vote too. So if you want to get those votes, you have to increase the payments to the elderly. The youth are becoming a smaller, smaller part of the global of the European population and are less and less interesting to politicians. So there is a huge gap creating in Europe that will distort probably the whole continent if something doesn't change quick. And these are the risks that Ray Dalio is discussing inequality in the United States. The poorest for 50% didn't go anywhere in the last 10 years. The rich got richer in Europe. The young don't go anywhere. The older get more and more money. Just look at this. This is the youth unemployment rate in Europe from 16 to 24 if you are out of school. Greece 43%. Spain 38. Italy 35. Portugal 24. Belgium 21%. The whole Euro area 80, 19%. European Union 16%. And then we go down Bulgaria, Ireland, Malta, and then down we have Netherlands, Germany at 86%, which is something healthy in the late part of the economic cycle. However, my biggest worry here, the biggest destruction that happens is the lack of skill developing. Those 40% of youth or 20% of youth that are unemployed calculate that a lot of the youth are still studying so they don't come up in that statistics, but they are unemployed. They are not developing their skills and it will create a huge, huge gap, lack of human capital in the future. This is another reason why I see Europe as very, very weak. If we look at the unemployment rate in the United States, yes, it went up to 18%, youth unemployment rate to 18% in 2010, but it quickly went down. It means that there wasn't much time with lack of skills development. And the average, if we take the average of over the last 20 years, 40 years, we are at 10%, 11%, which is okay for youth. Also, if we go back to Europe, when I come from Croatia, I can tell you immediately, in the Netherlands, youth unemployment is 6%, 7%, because most of my students in the Netherlands are eager and happy to work for free in an internship. I get emails from Canada, from the Netherlands, can I work with your company for an internship for free during the summer, two, three months? That's something you won't see in Italy, perhaps in Croatia, no way. Nobody's going to work for free because they don't understand the skill development. It's a different culture and it's something that will have a huge impact in the long term. That's something that really long-term investors should look at, even if the euro is strengthening now. And that's what we are going to discuss now and those are currencies. All right, the US Treasury Secretary recently said that it's good that the dollar is weak, that it helps the economy. But what's important here is to understand the longer-term currency trends. He's really focused on the short term and that's not good from a politician forum, a US Secretary Treasury, or if the politicians in the US focus on that. We'll discuss that a little bit later but let's first see the long-term trends. In 2017, the Fed increased interest rates and everybody was expecting a stronger dollar. However, that didn't happen. If you look at this chart of the dollar trade weighted US index against the major global currencies, you can see that when the Fed announced monetary tightening, the dollar jumped in this case from 75% to 90%, 95%. Which shows that from 2014, half of 2014 till 2016, it gained almost 40%. And since then, it went sideways and it is a little bit lower now. This shows how currency markets anticipate what will happen. So it's all about expectations and you have to catch that big trend. If we look from 2014 till now, three and a half years, the dollar has appreciated thanks to tightening. If there will be more tightening in the long-term in comparison to Europe and all the other currencies, the dollar will appreciate even more. So now we can say that the dollar is weak. In the short-term anything can happen but it all depends on how the dollar will be perceived. If the US Treasury Secretary says we want the weak dollar, then this weak trend can continue. However, it makes, again, things difficult in Europe. So fundamentals will again shift and change.  Just stop with buying, not even increasing interest rates or something like that. So we'll see how that actually shifts. Now a stronger euro is not good for Europe in this case. So what to do? Europe dollar, you never know exactly what will happen in the short-term as it is mostly depending on sentiment. Who is saying something Draghi, Manchin or whoever. So you have to look at the long-term and I have been saying in the last year, year and a half, writing that the dollar is strong, take advantage to rebalance globally. Now the dollar is weaker. Now rebalancing globally isn't that attractive for US investors. European investors might look at dollar-denominated investments now because the dollar is weaker and the euro is stronger. So it's cheaper now for Europeans to buy in the States. And if you take a long-term rebalancing perspective between long-term trends, that's the only way you can play currencies. Short-term bets, you never know what will happen. The trend can be longer. You never know when there will be a reversal. Let's see what Delio has to say about the currencies. So Delio is not happy about the weak dollar because the weak currency reduces the currency's holder buying power. So the US can buy less from abroad, which means higher input costs, higher commodities and that leads to inflation. The values of debt denominated in the weakening currency, which hurts the foreign holder of that debt. The US needs a lot of debt. If there is inflation, if the Fed is forced to increase interest rates and there are no foreign buyers for that debt because they know that the dollar will weaken, another big hurt for the US economy. It's looking a little bit longer than the US Treasury Secretary. Then supports prices of assets denominated in that currency. And this is again, okay, Trump is focusing on making the richer richer. But even if that is an illusion, the stock prices, home prices are all high because of low interest rates. If that changes, those will too change. So it is an illusion of wealth. And if we look at what is the consumer confidence, the household wealth in the US, it's all just made from a number. It's paper money. Then raises a country's inflation rate, of course, and then higher interest rates, and then you're in trouble if you can't refinance and stimulates domestic activity. That's not what the US needs now because the actual GDP is already at the potential GDP. There cannot be more production in the US, especially at such a low, low unemployment rate. There is nobody too high.  And those who know, they don't need your money. That's as simple as that. Now, what is Buffett buying? Every quarter, Buffett needs to file a 14F document to the Security Exchange Commission where he tells us his US positions. And that's very nice to look at because then you see, okay, what is Buffett buying? And he has said in a recent CNBC interview that they are net buyers of stocks, which means that they buy more than they sell. So we are going to see 15th of February, we are going to cover that. I'm very interested to see what is Buffett buying at the moment. Let's see what he has been doing in the past last year, and let's see what he's doing now. So the last form shows that he was buying Apple, Monsanto, Arbitrar Play, he wants to buy it at 1.15, 1.20 and sell it to buyer at 1.28 and Synchrony Financials. The stocks that he was selling was IBM and Charter Communications. Now, why is he selling IBM if it has a low price earnings ratio, a strong dividend? He says that the company isn't what he was thinking it was, because he wants growth, high return on invested capital and IBM seen not to have delivered that. Okay, so Buffett made the mistake that now IBM is still a good company and will do well, but it's not what Buffett wants. He wanted more and he sees more of that in Apple than in IBM. That's why he's buying Apple and selling IBM. Will he be buying more Apple at these valuations? We will see in the next quarter. However, that's possible. Apple is the biggest company. It still has a relatively good price to earnings ratio and a lot of cash coming in, and you know how Buffett loves cash. Further, other two companies I have went through all the stock holdings of Berkshire Hathaway. Other two companies that look interesting that Buffett could be buying now are US Bank Corp. and General Motors. Low price earnings ratio, good stable businesses, domestic businesses from the US. So, Buffett already holds that has been buying General Motors for the past seven years. So, that's something that he could be buying more. I don't think he's buying airlines because he has been selling them. He's been buying them a year and a half ago when the price earnings ratio was seven or even below 10, all the four big airlines. So, we'll see what will happen. There are two companies from the list that look attractive to him. He might be buying more of them or there will be a completely new company that will surprise us all. We'll see. Just to look at Synchrony Financial, what he was buying, where it was very low. And now, of course, you can see how he's a good stock picker because the stock is much, much higher than when he was buying around 27.30. All right. And now I want to discuss first, Kudian, a Chinese online financing platform that recently IPOed. The stock started at 20-something, went to 35, went down to 11. And now it has recovered a little bit to 14. And I want to discuss how analysts work because it's very, very interesting how that works. So, this was published yesterday when Stiffel downgraded Kudian from buy to hold with a price target of 15 from 19. Analyst John Davis elects to step to the sidelines until the dust settles in the Chinese loan industry. So, that's typical for analysts. You cannot sell uncertainty to investors. Everybody wants certainty. Let's sell them the S&P 500. Let's sell them Apple. If you come with Kudian, with stocks like Amira, investors don't like that because they don't understand. And then analysts say step on the sidelines until the dust settles. That's my most hated sentence in investing. If the dust settles, if the uncertainty is low, then the stock price will be much, much higher. And when the stock price hits, if in this case Kudian's stock price hits 19.20, then he will put a new target to 25.30 because the dust has settled. But the risk will be higher then and the return slower. Now, okay, the stock price is lower. We don't know what will happen. Will it be low profitability or high profitability? So, the uncertainty is high. I would prefer Kudian to be at eight to really say it's low risk. It's also a little bit higher risk now. Nevertheless, just the message is here. What analysts are doing? It is uncertainty, risk. Oh, let's step on the sidelines, put it on hold, lower the target and see you later when everything is perfect. That's how the investing world works. We have to take advantage of this. Whenever there is something uncertain, people are scared and run away. If you dig into, as an analyst should dig into the market, the sentiment, look how many new loans are made on Alibaba, what comes out in the searches in Chinese and so then you know what's going on with Kudian and what will happen in the next earnings. From an analyst, I would expect that. Not someone that says, okay, I'm not going to talk about it anymore because I don't know and then lower the target or so. The risk is a function of price and that's something that a lot of people don't understand. Now, another company that I want to discuss is Pritium Resources. We already covered here on the channel and I made a discussion how it's very, very risky and the grade's mind will be volatile and that's exactly what happened. Previous quarter was good, this quarter was terrible and it showed that the management, let's say, has been lying about the grades and about what they will be doing. They need a grade of 15 grams per ton to make it profitable. They came close last quarter, this quarter they came far, far away so high costs. It's not what the management has been saying. I wrote an article, made a video here first on YouTube, of course, in September discussing the risks and I got 220 comments on this article on Seeking Alpha telling me how I am wrong, how I am short, attacking me from always, from everywhere and I'm really sorry that the risk came out. I'm sorry about those who have been long, Pritium and lost money. The problem is that really investors have always to look at from the fear side. Born and Buffett says, I start investing, I start looking at an investment from a position of fear and from then I build on. So first risk, risk, risk, risk, risk. If you look first at risk, you avoid investing in companies like this. So it's difficult, it's boring, it's not exciting but it's how people make money. If not, things like this happen and when you make the average, again over a cycle, here we haven't seen a beer market for eight years so let's see what happens in the next beer market with all those profitable companies with all the profitable trades that people are making. And with this, I thank you all for watching, looking forward to your comments and I'll see you in the next video.

There are those that will see him shimmy and dancing as though he is giving them the Holy Spirit, they're being slain the Holy Spirit. There are those that will see him making a mockery and steal defendant. My question is this, my challenge is this, can you find one passage, one scripture or one example of any of this being in the Bible?  That's if you can find a passage, that's if you can find a scripture to back up what they're doing.

Into the last 400 metres. And here's the finish line. Thank you. 31-34 for Torn Valley Park Run.


Hello everybody, this is 15 Minutes and I am here with Ryan Forbes, who is the marketing manager at Longmont Public Media, but we're not going to talk about Longmont Public Media today. We're going to talk about a previous chapter in Ryan's life and how it relates and why he has made himself an expert on restorative justice. So this is segment two in our series on restorative justice. I'm Ryan. Thank you. Yeah. And can you tell us why a marketing manager at LPM has made himself an expert on restorative justice? Okay. Well, before I got into marketing, I actually went to school for computer science at Montana State and I actually spent about nine years working professionally as a software developer. And at the end of that time, I actually went out one night to meet people in a new town I had moved to and I got blackout drunk and got into my car and then accidentally killed someone. And I had driven into them and then after that I got locked up for six years as part of a ten-year sentence. In Texas, there's two phases of the hearing. There's the guilt determining guilt phase and then there's the sentencing phase. Guilt phase didn't happen because I was guilty and I said from the beginning I told my lawyer I said I'm guilty, I did it. But this sentencing phase, even though I'm guilty, the way that our justice system works is you have to, like, if you just leave it to the powers that be, they'll just try and, at the time, with the district attorney I was working with, they just wanted to give me 20 years and then be done with it. And that's a long time. It was a long time to be away from my family. That's just a long time to be in prison. So I went to the sentencing hearing in front of a judge to try and lessen that sentence and that sentencing hearing not only did it, it caused a lot of stress between me and my family. It also caused even more pain with my victim's family and his loved ones that were there. And while I was inside, I got a degree in sociology, specializing in social welfare. And that's when I learned about restorative justice and I wanted to know why I had not heard about it sooner and why it was not used more often. So do you think that if you knew about restorative justice, it would have been a mechanism that would have helped you not get to the point where you got blackout drunk and got into a car? I don't know about, I don't know if it would have gotten to that point. It might have because there had been other incidents where I had blacked out because I had a drinking problem, but it was not one where I was constantly running into the law or anything like that. But the biggest thing that I feel like would have come from it is that it could have prevented the additional pain, at the very least the additional pain that caused that family. And it may have even gotten to a point where I could have done things directly for them. Because from the very beginning I wanted to do things for them, but I was told I was not to contact them and I was not to reach out. And I would have gladly done that. And I would have gladly, instead of spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on a lawyer to keep me out of prison, I would have gladly given it to that family instead. Would you have welcomed a dialogue with them that would have increased their understanding as well as your understanding of what had happened to you? Do you think that it would have given them a better process to get through understanding the death of their loved one as well as you? I think it would have been very helpful. And I think it would have, what happened in the sentencing hearing was there was a lot of witnesses called up for either side to present and basically the story of that night was told. And even before that, the family was presented evidence. There was, there's basically, I didn't see any security camera footage, but there was security camera footage of like me at my apartment and me at one of the bars and also like, there's also like testimony from people from like, from bar owners because I'd gotten, during my blackout, I'd actually gotten kicked out of a bar.  And that's the story going with it. And as far as, I guess for my end, like, it's, I don't want that to be like, I was just this careless guy who wasn't thinking about it because I didn't even drive that night to the bars. I just walked there. And the only way they got me back was because they had put me in, they forced me into a cab because I was that belligerent at that point. I don't know if it, how much it would help them when the, when the mother left the courtroom that night, like the at my sentencing hearing, she was basically busy telling me how horrible I was and like, how she can't believe this thing happened. And that is a hurtful way for everyone involved to feel at the end of it. And I don't think it had to be that way. And I think it would have brought them, I don't know about comfort, but I think there's more, there would have been a way to bridge that gap and to actually do something for them aside from just, just putting me away in a box that they don't have to think about for X amount of time. This is a, this is a scary question because, you know, you're a good marketing guy. You had enough savings from before that you were probably a pretty good software engineer. You'd probably be a pretty good criminal if you had chosen not to restore yourself after a stint in prison. Is restorative justice as a part of the reintegration into society? Do you believe that those techniques apply? Or do you believe that this is mostly something that keeps people from getting as far into this, the level of offenses that you did? I believe that it's something that can hit that right now we have it at every level. And I think it should stay at every level because not everyone is going to be like me who can take, who will take responsibility for it. And it's also this is, we, the system we have, that's what it's set up for. But the earlier that everyone can get involved, the more it's going to help long term. But I think as people come in, as people are in the system, once people are in, like if they can get involved with it on their way out, it will help, it can give them more possibilities and actually use it to, like one of the big points about restorative justice is about finding strengths as opposed to focusing on weaknesses. And prison is a place where everyone is looking for your weakness. And so to actually have people looking, telling you what your strengths are, it makes a huge amount of difference. And it can really, it can really change a person's path they're on if you can give them that path. Sometimes I offend people by telling them that I don't believe in punishment because it doesn't fix things. But at the same time, I understand that there are times when a person has to be detained because we don't have a way, any other way, we don't know of any other way of keeping the rest of society safe from that person. Could the restorative justice techniques that we've just heard described something that we could involve people while they're incarcerated? Would it change the nature of incarceration? If it was built around that? The analogy I like to say about punishment is if your car breaks down on the highway, you don't yell at your car and tell it what a bad car it is and sit there and point fingers at it and hope that it gets better. So you might have to take the car off the road for a minute and then look at the problem and fix it. Talking about how bad the car is and trying to shame the car isn't helping anyone. And the same thing goes for prison. Prison, the way it's set up now, is a punishment. When I was there, they would like to tout that there was like 12-step groups and there was lots of programs, they would love to talk about their programs. But the thing is, before I went to prison, I went to treatment. And because I went to treatment, I knew what it was like to be in an environment where everyone was trying to help me and to try and get me into a better place. And because of that, I chose to remove myself. I was only supposed to be in treatment for 30 days, I stayed for 90. And then the rest of my time on bond, I could have traveled the planet. And I could have gone wherever I wanted and did whatever. But I decided to stay in sober living. So this was between your arrest and you were on bond and your sentencing? So how long the time was that? That was a year. So basically I got arrested, I spent a few nights in jail after the accident. My family bonded me out. They picked me up from Texas, took me back to Colorado. And then shortly after, that's when I went to treatment. And we had no idea how long the sentencing trial was going to be, or how long this whole process was going to take. So it takes up to two years and it ended up being almost exactly a year. So yeah, I spent three months in treatment and then the rest of the time was in sober living. During that time, you were treated like someone who needed to be helped. Here's the thing is like, both in prison and treatment, there's not a whole lot of privacy at times. There's not a whole lot of your own time. And you always kind of get the feeling that someone's over your shoulder and you're always surrounded by people. And I was even explicitly told once in treatment that people were watching me. But when they were telling me that, they were telling me that because they were saying, we see what you're doing. We see you trying to help other people here. Because we were encouraged to help the other people in treatment. And they strongly believe that everyone here can help everyone else out, from the staff to the people who are currently there. And so every part of it was encouragement.  But like, you're here for a reason. And we want to help you with that reason. And everyone really got that message for the most part. And it was very rare that there's people who wanted to go. And if they wanted to go, a lot of times it was because the issue was so severe that there was more that needed to be done. And that's like, really, it's not about punishment at that point. It's like your heart breaks at that point. Can you contrast that quickly with what the attitudes toward you were when you were in prison? Yeah. When I was in prison, also no privacy. And then you knew people were scoping out what's in your locker. How much commissary did you get? What can they take from you? And then the officers were the same way. They'd be like, you're in violation. Your bunk isn't made. You haven't put your stuff away. You need to clean this area. You need to report to work at 4 a.m. You need to like, or like you leave to go to lunch and you left a book out, then they're going to take your book. There's everything you do is being monitored and watched.  They're looking for you to mess up. So it doesn't even become that you want to become a better person because there's so many conflicting rules and so many people watching you that you can't just, there's not like one set of golden rules that if I follow these rules, then I'll make it. Because I tried that. When I first went into prison, I assumed, oh, if I just follow this pamphlet that they give me when I get in or this rule orientation book, then I'll make it and I'll be good. I'll make my first parole and I can go home. No, no, what ends up happening is when you're there for any extended period of time, you learn how to break the rules properly. I, like you said, be a very good criminal. Have practice at it now because I had to break the rules in prison. That's, you have to learn, you have to learn how to steal, you have to learn how to sneak. You have to learn how to get around the officers. Because if you don't, your life will be very, very hard. So this is something that we need to change. We don't have time to talk about it because you said there's restorative justice that can be applied at every level and is, which is not something I knew. It's something that I didn't know it. I bet there are a lot of other people who don't know it and should. So I hope we can talk about it again. You're gonna talk about it again. Yes. And I'd like you to just tell us that, what you're doing now and then we'll have to close up. Okay, so on April 27th, 2023 at Longmont Public Media, we are doing, we're basically doing a behind the bar storytelling event. This is for people with first-hand experience behind bars or who currently have, are dealing with family members and loved ones behind bars. And we're gonna be telling their stories live. We're gonna be recording it. And we're also going to be having groups like Longmont Community Justice Project, Boulder County Restorative Justice. We're gonna have Adopt-An-Inmate. We're trying to get in touch with the Marshall Project. We're also trying to get in touch with like the Boulder Bar Foundation. And we've also lined up one really great storyteller who has already had her story published in a few places and she's gonna come up and tell her story live. And yeah, the big thing is like, it's one is to get the word out, get all these people in one place so you can hear their stories and hear what it, get people to like hear what it's like and get an understanding. And then the other part is, is to hear about the different projects, hear about these different things like the restorative justice of products and places like the Recovery Cafe where people can go and get support and like the youth center and where people can get help right now. Great. So watch for that date, April 2023. There'll be more. You can hardly probably hear about it, but what we need to tell you is that understanding is the first thing so that we can change this system to something that works. Thank you for being here, Ryan. Thank you for opening up to a degree that I wouldn't. So thank you very much for being here and this has been 15 Minutes. Bye everybody. ["Pomp and Circumstance"]


This is Witchspace news for Friday the 14th of August 2020, I'm CMDR Buur. In this weeks news, frontier clarification on mining and some changes to tritium usage, the dev diary is next week, there's a DSSA passport coming and more. If you enjoyed this video remember to hit the thumbs up, subscribe to the channel and click the little bell icon to make sure you don't miss any of our future videos. Frontier Community Manager Paul Crowther took to the forums this afternoon to drop an update on the state of mining in the game and a small bombshell about tritium usage for fleet carriers going forward. I've linked to the post below but here's the short version. Frontier it seems are mostly content that mining hotspots are producing resources now at the levels that they intended. Overlapping hotspots will still produce more resources but not quite at the fantastic levels that we have seen previously. Whilst FDev are happy that resource production is now where it needs to be, they do still feel that the work required to fill the fuel tank of a fleet carrier through mining is still an unreasonable time sink and are therefore making tritium 50% more efficient meaning you'll have to mine less tritium to go further to all intents and purposes doubling the range of the existing fuel tank. Whilst testing of the resource gathering levels by the community is now needed we are very pleased to see some official clarification on where FDev see mining sitting given all the changes that we've had. The current resource gathering levels coupled with the announcement regarding tritium efficiently is almost certainly bound to spark some heavy debate in the community at large on the relative pluses and minuses. It's early days as the announcement was only just made this very afternoon but the initial reception from the community seems to be generally positive. Of particular note is a renewed confidence that carrier expeditions and DSSA carrier movements can now resume. So far however we have no word on tritium availability in the commodity markets of Colonia but what are your feelings on the situation now will you look again at mining are you now suddenly able to move your carrier again let us know in the comments below. Frontier developments hosted their regular Thursday live stream last night featuring the DSSA carrier initiative more on that in a moment. At the end of the stream as had been promised Steven Benedetti announced the release date of the much anticipated first Odyssey expansion developer diary. This coming Tuesday the 18th of August at 1800 UTC Frontier will be hosting a special live stream on Twitch to premiere the development diary, talk more in depth about its content and the stream will also include some unannounced special guests. Aside from the announcement and trailer a few weeks back we've not heard any more details about Odyssey or what it will include and it's no understatement to say that the community is at this point bursting with questions, concerns and no small degree of anticipation about what Odyssey includes and how it's all going to work. It's been a tough couple of years for Elite Dangerous with delays and buggy releases the subsidence of the Thargoid war and the resultant lack of station rescue and repair gameplay, the withdrawal of community goals and of course the drought on the in-game Galnet newsfeed. The future of Elite Dangerous and how it's supported by the community going forward absolutely hinges on Odyssey and the success of the expansion. The launch of this first developer diary and its importance to the game's health going forward cannot be overstated, no pressure then. Tuesday represents the first opportunity for Frontier to assuage a few fears, set some expectations and blow more than a few pairs of socks off with excitement over what the future will hold. We're stupidly hilariously, ridiculously excited to see what this first look will have in store for us, Tuesday can't come soon enough and the live stream is bound to see a colossal turnout from the community. The main thrust of the live stream last night was to feature the player driven deep space support array network of fleet carriers that is currently being highlighted by Frontier's featured commander initiative. If you're unfamiliar with the DSSA I've linked to the Frontier forum piece about them below as well as to the archive of last night's live stream. Toward the end of the live stream the current DSSA organiser Naughty Nate made an announcement. A large portion of the DSSA carriers have a mission patch associated with them, indeed our own Commander Rene has created at least one DSSA carrier mission patch for our faction's official DSSA carrier the Burrian Anchorage captained by Commander Eagle 131 that is now stationed at the Dryale Orsums. The DSSA are currently hard at work creating a kind of DSSA passport application that will sit alongside the game and monitor your activity and when you dock at a DSSA carrier it will stamp that passport with the patch associated with that carrier and thus will be born a new elite dangerous metagame DSSA carrier patch collecting. There's no solid release date on the application's launch but it is due soon in inverted commas. If you were planning on visiting all the DSSA carriers and there's well over a hundred of them then you might want to hold off until the apps launch. And we know more we will of course report on it here so watch this space. Commander Black Maze has released another of his race highlight videos from the current ongoing 8 wheel drive endurance rally championships. If you've not seen the previous videos in the series then they really are worth a look. Black Maze is able to present the races events in the style of a televised race event due to an app created by Commander Crank Larson that the contestants all run during the race. The app feeds positional data and driver information back to a central server which then tells the camera ship following the race where everyone is and what race of the camera is closest to allowing for some dynamically updated on screen graphics. I just love stuff like this it's honestly really really clever please do give it a look. And finally this week the Flight Assist podcast from Commander Sykit and Mal for the Win is always worth a listen focusing as it does on the commanders that make up the elite community rather than the game itself but perhaps slightly more so this week as it featured an interview with community favourite and ex frontier product manager Sally Morgan Moore. Sally was an elite commander before joining frontier and has continued in that regard since leaving as well as just being a massive fascinating space nerd in general. She is always a joy to talk to be sure to check it out. That's it for now thanks very much for watching we'll be back later this week with more videos until then 07 commanders follow the greens on the way out and do keep clear of the toast rack we very much look forward to seeing you next time.


Fossil fuels are an absolutely amazing resource. If you really want to think about the entire global population, 7.5 billion people, everybody consuming energy at different rates, and we're growing as a population, countries are industrializing. Fossil fuels provide over 80% of all that energy. So everything that we do in our entire way of life, it doesn't matter if we're buying commercial products, if we want to go traveling, we're buying food at a grocery store. All these things, everything requires energy to do it. Fossil fuels really provide that for us. So the fact that that resource is so abundant and so available to us, also very inexpensive. So what's the issue with fossil fuels? As amazing as they are and as wonderful as they have treated us over the years, we realize there might be some issues coming down the pike. The world has achieved a certain balance to it, and now we're cranking out so much fossil fuels. We're using so many fossil fuels that we might be tipping that balance in the wrong direction. Now in my research group, one of the major projects that we're working on is we're trying to make exactly the same types of molecules that we see in industry, that we use in our cars, that we use in jets, that we use in diesel. We're trying to make the same types of molecules, but rather than getting them from below ground, we're trying to get them from the air that we're breathing. And what are we breathing?  And so if you think about that, we have carbon dioxide, carbon and oxygen. We've got water. We've got hydrogen and oxygen. If you can do your chemistry well, you can rearrange these bonds and make your hydrocarbons once again. And the real trick in all this is that it is impossible to do that without some type of energy. And if we were just burning coal or burning natural gas to give us the energy to do that chemical transformation, we're not going to win at the end because we're just producing just as much CO2 as we're consuming, if not worse. So what are we trying to do? We're trying to come up with processes that utilize renewable energy, things like wind power, things like solar power, which typically comes in electricity form. How can we use renewable electricity to take carbon dioxide, water, break those bonds apart, reform them as hydrocarbons, and now we can burn them as fuels in a jet if we wish. You could burn the hydrocarbon, and what do you do? You release the carbon dioxide and water again to the atmosphere, which in principle you could keep recycling over and over and over again. So my vision for what the world might look like in 50 years would be quite a bit different for how we use energy and how we produce all the fuels and how we produce all the chemicals and how we handle transportation versus what we do today. And I think the odds of finding that one technology and developing one technology that can do what fossil fuels has and that can compete with fossil fuels and provide all the same benefits but without all the costs, I think those are very long odds. We don't need one solution to fit all. We can come up with many, many different solutions. We're going to need probably at least 20 to 50 different big-time technologies, some of which can contribute 0.3% of the spectrum and some we're going to contribute 15% of the spectrum, let's say. And when you add it all up, we can get to where we need to be for us as a globe to thrive, to continue to flourish as a society, to allow all people on earth to have access to electricity and energy so that they can reach the same quality of life that many of us get to enjoy. These are things that really inspire me every day.


So one of our big issues with working off of a spreadsheet is what's stopping someone from typing in Incorrect data say for example, we look at the registration date. Well, let's just say for example that it is 2016 we're in the future and somebody tries to register for They came in they're like, oh, yeah I totally signed up like 13 years ago or three years ago And they're trying to register now or you know in the past that doesn't really work So suddenly what can we do inside of my data tab? I have a section called data validation now What happens here is that we can actually have Excel Validate force the user to enter in proper data We click on this you'll see that it actually specifies now a data validation setting So in this case right now b3 the registration date So it's allowed to have anything it wants in it. I can type in Hello mom and it's gonna put it in there But if I come into data validation, I can actually come in and instead of allowing any value I can allow say for example a date and I can also allow that that date must be Greater than for example, let's see. We'll say one one 2015 they have to have signed up at least this year When I hit okay Then it looks like it's going on there, but let's try and do that again. Let's say 12 15 2013 as soon as I hit enter. Oh No, the value you entered is not correct The user has restricted the values entered into this cell now. I can't type it in that information now It will always be something before something above 2015 Well, what about down here at age group age group for example is another area where we might need to kind of limit What my user is doing again because if we look at this age group? Well That's my age group right there. That those are my valid age groups So I don't want them doing you know something like P9 because that's not an age group What I can do is I can come back to data validation again in this time instead of selecting date I can actually select list and Inside of this list option what I'm able to do is I can select a source now again My source is d5 to d10. So if I Click and highlight d5 to d10 and I hit okay Guess what appears right next to my age group suddenly I? Have a drop-down menu. I can't change this. I can't come in here and do 100 Again not valid data. It has to be something from this drop-down menu We keep on going with the exact same thing. I'll do it again for my shirt size and I'll do it one more time for my sock size and so now each one of these Has to be entered in Through a drop-down menu. It cannot be selected any other way


Taylor Swift's new album. I have, I listen to it all the way through. Have you heard Megan Trainor's new album? I listen to it all the way through. And of the two. Which do I like more? Yeah. It's very different moods. Of course it is. Very different moods. There's some songs on Taylor's album that I question a lot. It just, you know what makes me sad? Taking nothing away from Taylor. Why aren't as many people talking about Megan's album? I think her album is fantastic. She is so underrated, genuinely so underrated. She's insanely underrated. Insanely talented. Have you heard either of the albums? You've heard. Da da da da da da. I could wear my Louis Vuitton. Oh yeah. I've seen that on TikTok. Yes. Do you think she got turned on by Junie from Spy Kids as a kid? I think so. Josh!  I'm Alexis. I'm Megan Trainor. He's married to Junie from Spy Kids in case you didn't know. I'm never really cute kid. I'm sure you haven't and it's understandable. I've seen, I've heard that song on TikTok. The Louis Vuitton. Okay. But you have not heard any of Taylor's new stuff? No. And it's really not a fair comparison of the moods of both of our twin polar opposites. Yeah, Taylor's album is not what I expected it to be whatsoever. No, and I just, I love Megan Trainor. But Taylor is an insanely good writer. Like her lyrics are- There's no doubt. I don't understand. No doubt. Anyway, today's video is not about Taylor Swift or Megan Trainor. But it is about English songs. This is actually English songs which copied slash sampled Indian songs. Okay, so English speaking songs that copied or sampled, one of them is gonna be 100% Britney Spears. Oh, the toxic? Yeah. It was toxic, right? Oh, really? Yeah. I've heard, I've heard so much about that. Yeah. But it was done, it wasn't like plagiarized, it was done with permission. Did you see Britney Spears nude on Instagram? I did, she actually looked quite pretty. Yeah. I didn't. Well, go look at it. I mean, it's not nude nude. No, she's covered up her- Bits and bobbits. Her bits and bobbits? Exactly. Her boobs and vagina. But isn't it amazing that guys can do something like that and most people won't give a rat's patootie, but a girl does something like that. Oh no, not in India. So it's like rat? Ranveer got patootie. Ran- Rapatootie. Ranveer got filed an FIR on him. He did. Which must hurt because those things have really prickly branches. Here we go. Fur trees, get it? Yeah. Oh, there it is. Yeah. It's been sampled. I've not even heard that song. I didn't even hear that. I didn't hear it at all. Gotta give us more. Yeah. Hey, it was from Don. What were you just talking about? Let me see it. Yeah, that's sampled. All right. What about it? What about it? Who sampled this? That looks like a YouTube video. Yeah, it does. Oh, wow, the game? Damn. I did not realize that. Straight up. M.I.A. That's cover. I didn't hear it. I don't hear it at all. I hear it. I've heard that song before. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I did not realize that one. Yeah. I think that's it. Pure sample. Yeah. Yeah. Chasing status. A song called Eastern Jam. Yeah. I've never heard that song before. Oh, yeah. I remember that song. This is a love this scene. Is this Don as well? We're gonna take the streets for a little ride. Okay, we ride. Yeah. Yeah. Straight up. I didn't realize that one. Yeah. I think that's it. Pure sample. Yeah. Yeah. Chasing status. Song called Eastern Jam. Yeah. I've never heard that song before. Oh yeah. I remember that song. Tia? Roger, sir. That's a great one. I wanna hear the rest of that. That one I don't hear. Barely. I think you're out of it. Okay. So a lot of them, yeah, I heard some of them. Like, maybe it was a different part of the song. Because obviously, I know why they were so sure. It was all copyright stuff. That's why all these clips are so incredibly short. Because if they do anything more than like 5 to 10 seconds, the video's getting blocked or copyrighted and all that kind of stuff. Yeah. Maybe some of those songs, the sample was in a different part of the song. Right. No, I didn't hear it all. I didn't hear a single thing. Some, I also thought it was just like a similar string chord and they were like, Yeah. It's a copy. Yeah. I don't know if it is. It might... Which one did you say you wanted to hear the rest of? Was it the Black Eyed Peas one? Oh yeah. That song sounded cool. I just wanted to hear the whole track. That's one of my favorite... I love that song. What song? Toxic. Britney Spears? Yeah. Do you see her nude on Instagram? She shows her bits and bobs. She shows her bits and bobs.  What? All the time. What? Oh yeah. Ever since she's not under her dad's control. Well yeah, she's finally able to just do whatever she wants to do. Her dad is very brave. Locking her nudies. Let her do whatever she wants to do. She's like 50 now, isn't she? No, she's in her 40s, man. That's almost 50 though. She just turned 40? Yeah, she's like early 40s. That's not too far from 50. 40. Yeah. Of course, Adrani would know. Of course. And we picked really close attention to what was going on with her dad. Who was my Taylor Swift back in the day? Hillary Duff. Love Hillary Duff. Lizzie McGuire? Lizzie McGuire. My Taylor Swift was Dolly Parton. Still though? She loves Dolly Parton. No, like sexually attracted to Dolly Parton. He loves Dolly Parton. Still? Are you kidding me? Dolly Parton right now? Absolutely, there's still lessons I could learn. I'm not asking for lessons, I'm talking. That was the big thing for me. Smash or pass, Dolly Parton. Oh my goodness, man. She was old. She would have been such the sweetest, guiding. She was very beautiful when she was young. Gorgeous. She has had a lot of plastic surgery on her. I should find a video. Smash or pass, Bollywood. Oh, that would be so fun. Smash. Smash or pass. Smash. Smash. Smash. Smash. Smash. All of them. Ready? Here we go. Now that one's too easy. Oh. Hold on. Right here. Hold on. Oh, smash. Smash. Don't even need to ask my wife. SRK? She was like, I would do more than smash. Anyways, cool video. Some of those, you can let us know. Yeah. One of those videos looked like a YouTuber. He passed them like random. I guess it's English. I would assume all of these copies and samples were done. I know Toxic was done with permission as it should be done. I assume, and I'm sure Black Eyed Peas did that too. But some of them, yeah. I heard no sign of the original song. Yeah, I mean it was just a five second little clip. Yeah. In those clips you definitely didn't hear them for some of them for sure. Let us know what you think and if there's some of those songs that we should watch let us know what they should be. Dumbledore.


I think what the implication of the cascading risks is that we need to keep thinking about climate adaptation strategies as a global problem. It can't just be contained as a local isolated issue. So if you look at the UK for example we've recently published our third climate change risk assessment and not only did it consider the domestic risks that you'd expect, the droughts, the floods, the things that will happen within the UK, Mae'r rheswm ychynig i'r wrthwyno'r ysgol ei wneud o'r unigol a'i'r cyhoeddiol i'r gallu'r wir. Ydych yn COVID yw'r ysgol yn unigol i'r ysgol i'w ysgol, ymddangos i'r rhaglenau mynd i'r gwybod so many supply chain issues, it created health issues, it created all sorts of problems that are cascaded across sectors and borders, and climate change could potentially impact in the same way, it is not clear quite how all the transmissions will work and that's where this research is really interesting to start to conceptualise how droughts and floods and climate problems in countries that you may consider far away can then feed through a chain and impact in countries like the UK or the European Union and we really We need to start considering that in our strategies.


My name is Heather Hamlin. I'm executive director of Women Helping Women Fun based out of Spokane, Washington. We're empowering our local women and children to achieve their fullest potential by building a strong, diverse group of givers. For quite a few years, our organization has been event-based. Technology has made that possible to continue our mission even without the large gathering this past year. We have used TechSoup for everything from Cubio, Asana. We migrated last fall to Office 365, compliments of TechSoup. The past year we focused on technology and foundation and TechSoup has been a really trusted partner for that. We took that look at who we want to be and we realized that we had this amazing group of donors that wanted more from us than just a once a year event. So we are now a membership organization focused on collective giving and our donors actually are invested in the organization year-round. We connect them as a liaison between the giving that they want, whether that's time, treasure, talent, or testimonials, and the nonprofits that need more help. So our membership connects the two.


For the circuit Python Parsec today, what I want to do is talk about pulse width modulation. So pulse width modulation is a way of faking an analog output where rather than smoothly sweeping through voltages, we make very fast little sort of steps that look analog to the eye. But the way they work is that we're essentially flicking a light switch on and off real fast. So the full on and full off, if we change the amount of time between those square steps, then we can average out to different voltages. So you can see here in my code what I have is I'm importing time so we can pause, importing board so we get pin definitions, and I'm importing the PWMIO library. Then I'm setting up this pin on the LED pin, which is a PWMIO output on one of the board's pins, and then we're setting a frequency as well as a duty cycle. Then we set the duty cycle to a particular value when it starts up, which is about half, which would approximate a one and a half volt being sent to this LED and the resistor that's there to protect the LED from overcurrent. Then in my main loop, all we're doing is stepping through, increasing and decreasing the spacing between these full on off square waves, which as those go in and out of speed between them, we get this approximation of a smooth voltage. So you can see here in the case of this little cutie pie, I've got a big fat LED on there and it looks like it is nice, softly, gently changing its values like you'd expect an analog output to do, except I'm not plugged into an analog output at all, I'm just using one of the regular digital pins and essentially triggering it on off real fast. And so that is how you can use PWM in CircuitPython and that is your CircuitPython Parsec.


when we started introduction to data science course then we talked about some things like statistical modelling, database understanding, cloud understanding similarly the main area was programming languages and in programming languages we will try to understand the programming language Python is basically one of the fastest growing programming languages and programming languages are available in our access you may have done some other work they are endless number of programming languages but the popularity of Python or its usage it has an exponential growth one of the main reason is data science or when we were discussing how much data is increasing in the world these are the reasons of popularity of Python there are some other reasons to be popular we will discuss them one by one this is an object oriented language it is an open source if we look at the features in it when you go to buy a car you think what you want what you want to do what you want to do similarly the programming language it is necessary for you to understand that when you work in a data science environment we just keep always in mind in this course whenever we discuss something our fundamental objective is to develop our understanding about data science all the main pillars related to it technology, models, programming languages how to analyze and present data all these things we do one common thing behind it is data science when we look at Python we have to see that it is powerful it is fast the code is very simple easy to learn like the English language you don't have any problem to remember it the way we use different languages suppose we speak in English, in Urdu, in Chinese in any language there are some protocols of that language there is a grammar similarly programming languages have grammar you have to follow it when you write your code or develop your software it is called coding and the main thing is your syntax syntax is the grammar of your language and the advantage of Python is its syntax its language is common English language the way you write something in English you write it in the same way similarly when you go deep down use different features use different libraries use different functions then you will realize that in English language but still you have to develop a lot of understanding but still it is one of the easiest language to learn with when you use it as if there are chapters in a book there are 10 chapters or 20 chapters then in every chapter there is content in it similarly in the language in the last slide we saw object oriented programming object oriented programming language the basic coding of it is when you make small objects you keep them even when you see you will hear and use it that is library the libraries in Python are very rich and you can consider every library as an object you can consider the special function as an object object is basically something reusable you can reuse it as and when required according to your programming or software development needs another advantage of this is that you can use it with other languages in a very good way because it is an open source and when you do the first thing we understand that this is your very beginning level the study of computer science and data science data science is basically part of computer science so in computer science there are different languages you can call it when we use different statistics models we collect data on them then through programming we resolve it we fix it in the statistical modeling you have noted these things then on cloud and in this way when you do some courses of syllabus you can use it in the course of syllabus we have discussed these things students like every thing has some strength you can use any tool whatever in the same way its strength is its community its community there are millions of people community means there are many contributors there are two types of people one is those who contribute those who benefit from it people like us especially during your student life this is a very useful thing for you and even later when you start using it in your practical life your professional life these things will give you a lot of benefit in python the most important thing as I have told if you see this in python.org you just go to internet and type python.org and it will take you to python website home page of python language it will take you there there you will see more links like python wiki python wiki basically it is like wikipedia as you have heard basically it is a very big encyclopedia wikipedia is basically an online encyclopedia they have used this term that this wiki is a type of python encyclopedia if you have any question if you have apprehension if you have any syntax if you need to understand anything you can go to one of these websites and then you will get a solution for your particular problem you will get a solution other than this there are a lot of blogs where people talk about problems situations related to industry so in this way it is very helpful in this organization itself there are a lot of open source forums they are supported by the world there are a lot of big companies technology companies they also invest and similarly if they need money they do big organizations coding libraries libraries are coming students like you professionals they contribute this is how this is growing this community that is one of the fastest growing the fastest growing community in the world and for you be part of this community the most important thing is be part of this community see how people are contributing what are the benefits you can get to learn your data science degree and after that you will contribute and you will understand how powerful this community is
