CHAPTER 32 OF THE ADVENTURES OF PUSS AND BOOTS JUNIOR All the birds of the forest seemed to be at the wedding of Cock Robin and little Jenny Wren as Puss Junior and his little friends sat down beneath a big tree. The little squirrel cuddled up to Puss while the chipmunks sat close by. The muskrat and the beaver stood near at hand while the rabbit and the old bullfrog, who had climbed off the squirrel's back, looked out from behind the tree trunk. They were the most timid of all, so they hid behind the tree. While the birds were singing as sweetly as could be, it was certainly very beautiful wedding music, perhaps the most exquisite strains came from. The blackbird and the thrush and charming nightingale, whose soft notes sweetly echoes through every grove and dale. The bullfinch walked by Robin and thus to him did say, Pray mark, friend Robin Redbreast, that goldfinch dressed so gay. What though her gay apparel becomes her very well, yet Jenny's modest dress and look must bear away the bell. Just then Parson Rook looked over at them. Why, Puss and Boots Junior, he called out, come over here. And turning to the wedding guests he said, There is the son of the famous Puss and Boots. We are honoured to have so illustrious a person with us, and delighted, too, for he is a great traveller and a jolly good fellow. Puss Junior arose and bowed. Bring your little friends with you also, said Parson Rook. For all the forest folk are welcome. Who is there more loved, I would like to know, than Robin Redbreast and little Jenny Wren. Nobody, croaked the old bullfrog. No one, said Puss Junior. We all love Robin and Jenny, cried the squirrel and the chipmunk. And so do I, and so do I, cried the beaver and the rabbit together. As they finished the birds began to sing the wedding march. Then came the bride and bridegroom, quite plainly was she dressed, and blushed so much her cheeks were as red as Robin's breast. But Robin cheered her up. My pretty Jen said he, We're going to be married, and happy we shall be. I'm going to give her a gold piece for good luck, whispered Puss. I've got a nut, said the little squirrel, and so have I, said the chipmunk. We'll each give her a nut. I'll give her a fresh water pearl, said the old bullfrog. The rabbit and the beaver looked at each other. We'll have to run home and get something, they cried. CHAPTER 33 OF THE ADVENTURES OF PUSS AND BOOTS JUNIOR This is a LibriVox recording.

The bride receives some handsome presents.  You had better hurry, or the wedding will be over by the time you return. Don't worry about me, said the rabbit, whisking away at a great rate. I'll be back, never fear, said the beaver. Puss watched them out of sight. Then he heard the parson begin again. Oh, then, says parson Rook, who gives this maid away. I do, says the goldfinch, and her fortune I will pay. Here's a bag of grain of many sorts and other things besides. Now happy be the bridegroom and happy be the bride. Presently the little rabbit returned. Do you think she will like this? he asked Puss Junior, holding up a little white powder puff. I made it all myself. I had it put away in a little box for safekeeping. It's very pretty, said Puss Junior with a smile.  Not mine, replied the rabbit, but don't ask me too many questions. Just then the beaver came panting up. Phew! he cried. I'd rather travel by water than by land, but anyhow I'm here. How do you think she will like my present? And he held up a little gold ring. Just the thing, cried Puss, but where did you get it? Oh, I found it on the bottom of the brook one day, replied the beaver. So I picked it up and hung it on a nail. I thought it might come in handy some day. When shall we give her the present? asked the squirrel. Wait, wait, said Puss. They're not married yet. Listen to Parson Rook. And will you have her, Robin, to be your wedded wife? Yes I will, says Robin, and love her all my life. And will you have him, Jenny, your husband now to be? Yes I will, says Jenny, and love him heartily.  You're married now, says Parson Rook, while loud the lark did sing. Happy be the bridegroom, and happy be the bride. And may not man nor bird nor beast this happy pair divide. The Adventures of Puss and Boots, Jr. by David Corey. Puss makes a new friend and gains a steed. Hi-ho! cried Puss, Jr., swinging his cane, as he marched merrily along. Hi-ho! for a short journey and a happy ending. Well said, my merry Lord Cat, cried a voice. A tinker by the roadside looked up as Puss was about to pass him by. If wishes were horses, beggars would ride. If turnips were watches, I'd wear one at my side. And if ifs and ands were pots and pans, there'd be no work for tinkers. I guess you are right, my good sir, said Puss, pausing and looking at the old tins that the tinker had set down on the ground. If wishes were horses, I'd have one at once, for four legs are better than two, and horses' legs are meant to travel, while the cats are not made especially for that purpose.  I speak from experience, my good man, said Puss, for I have used my legs for traveling these many miles, and when I look at a horse I cannot help thinking. He has the better of me as far as legs go. And when I look at my legs, said the tinker, I think how well they would look a stride of a good grey horse. Let us both make a wish, suggested Puss, half in fun and half in earnest. Wishes do come true at times, you know. Very good, replied the tinker, I'm wishing. And so am I, said Puss. To their utter astonishment they heard a shrill nae close at hand. And turning to see what manner of steed had answered so quickly their wishes, they beheld two fine grey horses in the meadow close by. Leaning their heads over the fence rail, the two animals gazed at them, with expectant eyes. Why, they already have on their saddles and bridles, cried the tinker, with amazement. Are you a fairy-cat? Do your wishes always come true? That is a nice question to answer, replied Puss. But in this case you can see for yourself. Well, said the tinker, let us not refuse this stroke of good luck. I for one shall mount one of yonder's steeds. And I will ride the other, cried Puss, nimbly springing over the fence. Thrusting his foot into the stirrup, he sprang into the saddle and waited for his friend the tinker. Alas for the clumsy tinker! As he attempted to mount the bundle of old tins, made such a rattle that both horses jumped in fright, and in another moment ran off at a great rate. Puss clung tightly to the reins, and on looking back, saw the bewildered tinker still standing by the fence, while his horse careered across the meadow, kicking up his heels and snorting at a great rate.

Well, that was a clumsy tinker, said Puss to himself as he guided his good gray horse into the highway. But I suppose he is no rider, and therefore is safer upon his own two legs. At any rate, I cannot stop to inquire, nor would I be of any assistance. So I shall ride away, thankful at my good luck in having a steed for a mere wish. As wishes are horses, pussy cats may ride, he said with a laugh. The gray horse proved a good roadster and covered many a mile before midday. Presently, on coming to a crossway, Puss decided to take the road that led through the woods. He had hardly entered when he saw a funny little man dressed like a huntsman. In his right hand, he carried a bow, and on his back was a quiver full of arrows. A small dog ran along at his heels, snuffing about continually, as if expecting to find a rabbit or a squirrel.  There was an old owl, I lived in an oak, whiskey waskull weadle, and all the words he ever spoke were fiddle, faddle, fiddle. A sportsman chanced to come that way, whiskey waskull weadle.  Bow-wow, yelped the little dog, suddenly catching sight of the old owl. There, now you've gone and done it, cried the funny little hunter, as the owl quickly drew in his hand.  The little dog hung his tail and walked away. In another moment, on catching sight of Puss on his big gray horse, he set up another wild barking. What's that matter now, inquired the little huntsman. Oh, it's you, is it?  That is, he's a good old scout. Well, I'm glad to find out he's good for something, said the little hunter, for he made me just now lose a good shot at an old owl that was being hooted and tooting around my house for nights. I would have liked to put an arrow through his old head. You would, eh, screamed the owl, suddenly poking his head through the hole. Well, let me tell you, good sir, that I have caught more rats and mice in your old barn than your cat has. Is this the way you will repay a useful friend like me? The little hunter dropped his bow. I never thought of that, he said apologetically. Well, next time, think before you shoot, cried the owl. It may save you many a miss. End of Chapter 35.

The rose is red, the violet blue, the ghillie flowers sweet, and so are you. These are the words you bade me say for a pair of new gloves on Easter day. Puss, Jr. looked down from his horse at a little girl who was swinging on the front gate. He pulled up his good gray horse. A pair of new gloves on Easter day? Is that what you want the most? Yes, indeed, cried the little girl. I've got a new bonnet with red ribbons on it and also a gown of yellow and brown, a pair of silk hose of the color of rose and a lovely new pin with a big diamond in. A parasol, too, of purple and blue. Wait a minute, said Puss, you talk so fast and your words all rhyme and you've got so many things of so many different colors that I really don't remember whether you said you had a pair of gloves after all. No, my dear Pussycat, said the little maid with a pout. I have new shoes and new everything but gloves. Now won't you bring me a pair for Easter day? Where shall I buy them, asked Puss? I don't see any shops about and if I must go all the way to London for them, you'll never receive them in time for this Easter. Not far from here, cried the little maid, is a tiny shop where they make beautiful gloves. Take the first road to your right and then turn to your left and then turn to your right and then you'll see it. Phew, you, cried Puss, well, here goes. I'll do the best I can. But if I do not return, you will know that I turned to the left when I should have turned to the right and then that I turned to the right when I should have turned to the left and so got all mixed up and never found the tiny shop where the beautiful gloves are made. This was a long sentence for Puss but he was learning how to make conversation after the manner of little girls. But his good gray horse must have remembered the directions for he landed his small master safe at the glove shop. Puss, Jr. bought a lovely pair of gloves and remounted his horse.  She had disappeared but he heard her singing. Where are the gloves for Easter day? She cried running out of the door of the cottage. Here they are, my pretty one, said Puss. The rose is red, the violet blue, the ghillie-flower sweet, and so are you, sang the little girl, as she tried them on. These are the words you bade me say for a pair of new gloves on Easter day. Aren't they dear Puss, Jr., she said with a smile? Looking up at him. End of Chapter 36. Chapter 37 of the Adventures of Puss in Boots, Jr. This is a LibriVox recording.

Puss converses with an intelligent gray donkey.  Lift your ears and blow your horn to wake the world a sleepy morn, called Puss, Jr., who always remembered his Mother Goose rhymes perfectly. The donkey paused in his grazing and looked up. This sleepy morn, he repeated, I don't call this a sleepy morn. I should say it was very wide awake. I guess it is, admitted Puss, but you see, I was only saying a little rhyme from Mother Goose. Well, I don't see how it applies to the present situation at all, replied the donkey in a rather ungracious manner. The only thing you have right is the donkey part. Puss felt rather crest-pollen. To be corrected by a donkey, generally considered one of the stupidest of animals, was not at all to his liking. Puss evidently forgot for the moment that all Mother Goose animals are very intelligent, for otherwise how would they have been celebrated in rhyme? But like a wise cat, he took the rebuke meekly and said nothing. Well, said the donkey after a pause, can I do anything else for you, sir cat? Granting that it is too late to wake the morn, there may be other requests with which I will gladly comply. Gracious me, thought Puss to himself, he uses big words. The donkey cocked up both ears as if awaiting Puss, Jr.'s reply. Which is the shorter road across Mother Goose land, inquired Puss? I don't know the exact number of miles, replied the donkey thoughtfully, but the road to your left is the shorter. The one to your right leads to the seashore. Gingerbread Bridge is at the ending. What! exclaimed Puss, Jr., why you don't say so. What do you know about Gingerbread Bridge? asked the donkey. I crossed it once and not so very long ago, either, replied Puss. Then you certainly don't want to take the Gingerbread Road, replied the donkey, so it is not hard to choose which way to go. Thank you, said Puss, turning his horse's head down the road to the left. I will take the left road, because it is the right road. Ha-ha! braided the donkey. That's a good joke for a cat. May you have a pleasant journey. Lift your ears and blow your horn, the sheeps and the meadow, the cows and the corn. cried Puss gaily. Although the morn is awake, I fear boy blue is still asleep. And with these words our small hero cantered down the road and out of sight. CHAPTER 38 of the Adventures of Puss in Boots, Jr. This is a LibriVox recording.

Puss meets a happy farmer, but misses a good meal. Poured noon of a fine day, Puss, Jr. halted his good gray horse near a meadow. Standing near the fence, sharpening his scythe, stood a young farmer. His wide straw hat kept off the sun, and his loose shirt and open collar let in the breeze which was blowing, across the green grass. Warm day, said Puss, as he drew rain. Well, replied the farmer, it's not so bad, I don't feel it. And he commenced to sing. My maid Mary, she minds the dairy, while I go a hoeing and mowing each morn. Gaily run the reel and the little spinning wheel, whilst I am singing and mowing my corn. Are farmers always so happy, asked Puss, when the man stops singing? The farmer smiled and said, My good sir, when one is blessed with a fine wife and a good farm, he can beat a canary bird at singing. You don't say so, said Puss, Jr., but suppose one has neither. What should such an unlucky one do? Don't ask me, said the farmer, setting to work again. I'm a simple man, and what his happiness for me might not be for another. As he swung his side back and forth, the tall grass fell in graceful rows, and the sweet scent of the new moan hay was everywhere. Suddenly Puss saw a field-mouse scampering over the ground. This was too much for Puss, he had eaten nothing since breakfast, and he had not had a mouse to eat for so long, that he had almost forgotten how mice tasted, jumping down from his good grey horse he gave chase. Go it, sir cat, cried the farmer, don't lose him. Puss needed no words of encouragement.  But the field-mouse saw him coming and wasted no time, away he went hopping over the grass and looking wildly about for a place in which to hide. A trunk of a fallen tree at no great distance attracted his attention, and with a final burst of speed he reached it and crawled into a hole, before Puss had the opportunity to seize him by the tail. "'Op, Shaw!' cried Puss, sitting down on the log. I surely thought I had him. "'You did, eh?' squeaked the little mouse, peering out of his hole, and laughing at poor Puss. I prefer to be inside this log, rather than inside even so famous a character as Puss in Boots, Jr. Now do you know my name, as Puss, surprised at what he heard? Why, I'm one of the three blind mice whose tails the farmer's wife cut off,' said the mouse. "'I thought there was very little tail to you,' said Puss. "'Or else you went into the hole so fast that it made your tail look very short, for I couldn't even get a little hold on it.' "'Well, having my tail clipped did me some good,' said the mouse.'

To market, to market, to buy a fat hog. Home again, home again, jiggity jog. To market, to market, to buy a plum bun. Home again, home again, market is done.   To one of its hind legs was fastened a rope, the other end of which the funny little man held tightly in his hand.  Home again, home again, jiggity jig. Sang the little old man. How do you like my pickety pig? He asked, looking up, at Puss, Jr., who had stopped his good gray horse to watch the funny sight. He looks like a fine pig, replied Puss. Whoa there, pickety pig, cried the old man, as the pig began to struggle to get away. Look out, cried Puss, but the warning came too late. The pig had wriggled his foot out of the noose and went racing down the road.  Jump up quick about it, cried Puss, Jr. In a moment the little old man was on the good gray horse, who immediately set off at a gallop to overtake the pickety pig. It was a long race, for he had a good head start, and terror lent wings to his feet. Get up, cried Puss, digging his heels into the sides of the good gray horse.   Nay, nay, cried the good gray horse, as he gave a spring forward. Then go faster, screamed the little old man. Get up, yelled Puss, Jr., and this, the horse with leaps and bounds, came closer and closer to the fleeing pig. I've got the rope, cried the little old man.  That I will, answered the little old man. When I was young I was a cowboy. I hope I've not forgotten how to swing a lariat. As good luck would have it he had not. All at once the little old man swung the rope in the air, and the noose fell over the pig's head. I've got him, I've got him, cried the old man, and Puss, Jr. pulled in his horse. The race was over, and the old man, jumping down to the ground, thanked Puss again and again for his assistance.

The town of Banbury Cross was very pretty, situated at the corner of two crossroads, close to a sparkling river over which ran a bridge. As Puss, Jr., on his good gray horse, whose feet went rackety, rackety, rackety tack over the broad planking, drew rain at the farther end, a small boy who stood by the side of a pretty little pony, began to sing. I had a little pony, his name was Dapple Gray, and lent him to a lady, to ride a mile away. She whipped him, she lashed him, she rode him through the mire. I would not lend my pony now, for all the ladies hire. Neither would I, said Puss. The little boy opened his eyes very wide. They were blue as the skies overhead and were full of tears. She whipped him, she lashed him, continued the boy. I'll never again lend my pony to anybody. I wouldn't lend my good gray horse, said Puss, for one never knows whether a person is kind to animals or not. I never thought a lady would hurt my pony sob the boy, just look at him. He's all covered with mud. So he is, said Puss, consolingly, but never mind, a good washing will fix him up. But my father will be angry, said the boy. He doesn't like to wash my pony, and I'm too little. Let's take your pony down to the riverbank, Puss suggested.  Perhaps we can ride him a little way into the water. That would help. Tying his good gray horse to a post nearby, Puss led the pony down the bank to the river, the little boy following. Do you want to ride him in, asked Puss, or shall I? You do it, said the little boy, I'm afraid. So Puss jumped on the pony's back and gently urged him into the river. After going out some distance he stopped, for the water was almost up to his boots. I guess I can wash him now, cried Puss, and leaning over. First on one side and then on the other. He splashed up the water and scrubbed off the mud and dirt, until the pony was as clean as a whistle. Now exclaimed Puss, he looks like himself again. The pony seemed quite relieved also, for after gaining the bank he naved and kicked up his heels in a delighted manner. He looks better than ever, said the little boy. He was really quite dusty before I lent him to the lady. Yes, he's in fine shape, said Puss. I must now leave you, for I am on a long journey. Thank you, said the boy. A pleasant journey to you, my good sir cat. How our little hero, Puss in Boots, Jr., at last finds his famous father, Puss in Boots, at the castle of My Lord of Karabas, will be told in further adventures of Puss in Boots, Jr. End of Chapter 40 Recording by Nandodge End of the Adventures of Puss in Boots, Jr., by David Corey

Statistics and Excel. Average Deviation. Got data? Let's get into it. With statistics and Excel. First, a word from our sponsor. Yeah, actually we're sponsoring ourselves on this one, because apparently the merchandisers, they don't want to be seen with us. But that's okay, whatever.  Like our, trust me, I'm an accountant product line.  Because apparently we're among the only ones equipped with the number crunching skills to answer society's current deep complex and nuanced questions. If you would like a commercial free experience, consider subscribing to our website at accountinginstruction.com or accountinginstruction.thinkific.com. You're not required to, but if you have access to OneNote, we're in the icon left-hand side, OneNote Presentation, 1428 Average Deviation Tab. We're also uploading transcripts to OneNote so you can go into the View tab, Immersive Reader Tool, change the language if you so choose, and either read or listen to the transcripts in multiple languages using the timestamps to tie in to the video presentation. OneNote desktop version here, data on the left-hand side. In prior presentations, we've been thinking about how we can take different datasets, summarize the data, representing the data in meaningful ways, using both numerical representation as well as pictorial representations, numerical representations, including our standard statistics. For example, the mean or average, quartile one, quartile two, or the median, quartile three, and so on and so forth. Pictorial representations including the box and whiskers or box plot and the histogram. So now we're really focused more in on how we can represent the spread of the data, say around a middle point, like the mean or the average. And of the data that we have looked at, we've seen that the histogram gives us kind of a pictorial representation of that. But when we look at the numerical representations, like the median and the average and so on, and even when we looked at the box and whiskers as we saw in a prior presentation, sometimes they don't give us as much information. So we would like to get a numerical kind of calculation of this kind of spread. The standard use or the standard number would be the standard deviation and the variance. Now we're going to get to those concepts in future presentations on how to calculate the standard deviation and variance, but it's useful first to kind of intuit what you would basically do if you're trying to come up with basically a number to get an idea of where the data points kind of lie around, say, a middle point, like the mean or the average. And then we'll get into a slightly more, a little bit of a twist that'll take us to a little bit of a twist, which will then get us to the standard use numbers, which are the standard deviation and the average, and then we'll dive into them in more detail. So we're going to start off with a very basic data set. We just got negative six, we've got four, we've got positive four and positive six. Now, obviously, these sum up to zero, the reason we're using these numbers is just to note that it's possible to have a data set with negative numbers, you know, and positive numbers within it as we do as we work through our calculations. First, we'll look at our mean or average calculation, which comes out to zero. So I could do that with a formula in Excel equals the average of these four numbers. If we did a more manual calculation of it, then we would simply be summing these numbers up and dividing by the number of numbers there. They sum up to zero because we have the positive four and the positive six netting out against the negative four and the negative six. So they're going to sum up to zero. If I did that in Excel, I could use the trustee sum formula and then the count or the N represents the number of items one, two, three, four of them. So the count is four in Excel. I can use the trustee count formula to count those four cells, zero divided by four comes out to the mean of zero. So that's going to be our formula, which we can represent down here. We're taking X1, X2, X3 up to XN, which are four of them divided by N, the count N, which we can also represent this way, summing X1 through the number of Xs, Xi, which is four here, and then divided by N. Okay, so that's going to be our average. Now we want to think about the average deviation. So so now we're thinking, okay, what I'd like to do, if I'm just trying to intuit and say I would like to get a number, a numerical representation of basically the spread of data around the center point, the center point. In this case, we just we've made our set of numbers be at zero. Right. So that's going to be the center point. How would you do that intuitively? You might say, well, why don't I see how far each of these individual numbers are from the center point or zero, right? That's the first thing that would probably come to mind. We're going to say, okay, well, if that's the average, well, then how far away are each of these numbers from the average? So that's, and so that's what we'll do. We'll take, we'll take this first and we'll get back to this equation in a second. But we've got, we've got x sub i minus mu, which is representing the average. Okay. So if I did that, we can say, let's do it this way, we're going to say, here's the six, here's the middle point, which is zero. That's the average six minus zero means it was six away. Obviously, these two numbers are the same because we happen to pick the middle number being exactly zero in this case. Right. So we've got, we've got then, then us for this one is the data point. This is the middle number, the average zero. So it's four units away in the negative. This is for this is zero. That means it's four points away. And this is six. This is zero. It is six points away. Now, if I was to sum up these differences, one of the problems here in my, in my process is that I'm always going to come out to zero and it doesn't, it's not coming out to zero just because I picked, I happened to pick a negative numbers here. If whatever number set I have, if this is the average or middle point, I'm either going to be great higher than that from when I, when I tracked from that point to, to whatever individual point in our data set, or I'm going to be lower. So I'm going to end up with positive and negative numbers, which net out to zero. So each of these steps kind of gives me an idea of the, how far this data point is from the middle point, the mean or zero. But I'm not really, I can't sum it up and get a number that gets very useful other than as a check that I properly calculated these numbers. So what's the next thing that we would do intuitively? We would say, well, what if I take the absolute value of these numbers? So now I just want to know the distance from this, from the center point, but I don't care if it's above or below. I just want to take the distances, all the distances, and then I'm going to divide that by the number of data points. So I'm kind of taking, you can see what I'm doing is I'm taking, you know, the average, the distance, you know, like the average distance from the mean, right? So we're taking all the distances from the mean, absolute value them to make them all positive. And then I'm divided by the number, the number. So if I absolute value these, they all become positive, right? The absolute value of six is positive six, the absolute value of four is positive four, absolute value of four is still four, absolute value of six is still six. So in other words, we, we in essence made everything positive, right?  So now you can see that we come out with a 20, if I sum these up, this counts up to 20. This right here is not summing the cells, it's counting them. So I've got one, two, three, four of these line items. Okay, so if we have that, I can say, all right, well, then that means that the sum of the distances from the mean come out to 20. And I could basically, in essence, kind of take like an average, the average concept of it, there's four of them, one, two, three, four, the count, divided by four. And I get basically an average deviation from the mean. And you see that kind of, that kind of makes sense intuitively, because we're saying, okay, I'm just going to take the distance from the mean, make them all positive. Whether that distance from the mean is higher or lower is not what I'm looking for. I'm looking for the average distance from the mean, whether it be higher or lower. And then I'll divide, I'll basically kind of like take the average of those distances from the mean, and we can call that the average deviation. And so that can give us an intuitive sense of how spread something out is. Now notice, as we work with different data sets, sometimes it's useful when I get to these numbers, they look a little bit more abstract than, say, an average. When I look at, for example, an average in my mind, I'm like, okay, that's like the middle point in the data set. I would imagine that can kind of be the middle or the mean or the median is kind of in the middle. When we get to the average deviation or we get to like standard deviation and the variance, they start to be a little bit more subtle and abstract concepts. And sometimes they become, they show their relevance more when we're comparing different data sets, right? So if I'm comparing two data sets, which are similar data sets, then I can look at that average deviation and compare it to the average deviation of the other data set. And sometimes that's a useful tool to, that's why it can become a useful tool in a comparative setting. But we'll think about more formal ways to use the average and we'll lead, the average will lead into the standard deviation and the variance, and then we'll talk about those concepts in more detail in the future. And basically, just to give you an idea of what's going to happen next, we're going to take this average deviation and we're going to think, well, they're going to basically remove this concept of the absolute value and replace it with squaring it. But you can see if I square it, that'll also remove these negative numbers, but it also results in it being squared, so then I might have to have a square root, you know, in the, in the calculation. So it'll be a little bit more complex, a little less intuitive. You might also ask yourself, why make it more complex when mathematical equations are supposed to be, you know, simple, simple is better if the more complexity doesn't add any value, right? It should be beautifully simple, not more complex for no reason. So if we're going to make something more complex, we should also, we'll give a little, a few, at least a couple justifications as to why the standard deviation and the variance are kind of like the go to calculations and not this basically average deviation.


Welcome to the ITU studio engineer. We're very pleased to be joining the studio today. We're Stan Manuel Latuzzi Who is the director of the data pop alliance? Manuel, welcome to the studio. Thank you. I love to start by by asking you a little bit about this symposium the world telecommunication and ICT indicator symposium in 2018 Why is this symposium important to your organization and at the ICT sector in general? Well, so it's the first time that I come to the to the symposium I've been meaning to come a couple of times before And I think it was the right time because I mean ITU has been pretty involved in the past couple of years increasingly involved in a not just its core business of ICT but increasingly in things around data big data and and AI And and it brings together People that I don't usually or whom I don't usually like you know interact with So that's why I decided to come and I'm pleased to be here now the ICT sector and in particular emerging technologies such as AI artificial intelligence and IOT incident things are generating huge data streams How do you think this data can be harnessed to promote the development of an inclusive information society and let's also discuss it is this amount of data a threat to privacy? I mean historically, we know that technology all technologies have these like two sides The bright dark side of technology. Some people say that technology is neutral Because the sum might be zero. I don't think technology is ever neutral. It's always used to some end It's an enabler of your you know of human intent and and in capacity or an amplifier And so of course, there are legitimate concerns about privacy about growing digital divides and biases and prejudice being embedded in code so and and I think these need to be Unpacked recognized addressed at the same time. I don't think we should be cynical about how much Technology and data can or could help It's we don't live in a world that Is I think very fair We've made progress on different SDGs for instance like poverty has come down quite a bit in the past decade But there's still a long way to go to make our societies fairer More just our processes more transparent more efficient and I do think that data And AI can help and let's talk about being fair the 50-50 milestone for internet use has been surpassed now However, there are still far too many people around the world that's still waiting to reap the benefits of the digital economy What more do you think that can be done to bring people more people online? So I mean first of all, I think increasingly people are accessing and will be accessing the internet through mobile phones or so not the you know typical way that they used to ten years ago and and I think they are already those who have access to the internet or to like digital networks Already like reaping a lot of benefits. I mean mobile money like mobile transfers are really, you know taking off and but but yes, I mean the risk of increasing inequities Including through the use of the data or the misuse of the data being generated by those services is a major concern in the world That is already very very unequal. So what to do about it. I think I Think education is is a still probably the most powerful tool that humans have So educate people teach them what is being done with their data how they could also weigh in and provide systems and projects and channels For them to actually engage and so one example is to do Just organize some events or I don't believe in hackathons for the sake of a hackathons But it's those events that can actually make people more more more aware And I talked today about a project called opal which is the open algorithms project in Colombia and Senegal that aims not just at building Technological platform for querying those data, but also governance set up governance standards for people to actually Be able to say what they want their data to be used for Now you've been speaking here at the symposium obviously been listening to I wanted to find out for me What key takeaways you think people will come away from here? I mean from the from the discussion and the question so after the presentation I think things are Like changing maturing There is there is still this so like simmering fear Which which is in great part legitimate about as I mentioned the the abuses and misuses of those technologies but I sense way less pushback and And also like yeah skepticism or or cynicism I think a lot of people increasingly in governments in academia in international organizations I really want to like jump in and see how they could how they could be part of it and I think also one one risk is also the the misuse of Those data and technology and and for those of us who have children so those that I call the the data generation And I think we have a responsibility to shape Like the future of this ecosystem in ways that will benefit them So it's not not using those data And tools, but it's using them in ways that will be beneficial for them and not harm also the environment Well, it's definitely beneficial for us to have you here in the studio Thank you very much for joining us and we look forward to catching up with you again soon Perhaps another one of these events. Thank you. Thank you


Hello, hello, hello, I'm Philip Magnus and today I'll be talking about Marauder's volume one from all the way back in 2019 or was it published in 2020 the run began in 2019 along with so many of Jonathan Hickman's Krakko led dawn of eggs adventures for the X-Men Anyway, let's jump into it. Marauder's volume one by Duggan Katrin, Kitty or Kate Bride in this case as she likes to be called and Emma Frost at two of my absolute favorite X-Men The mere suspicion that they might take center stage is invitation enough to pick this hardcover up That their relationship is one of the driving forces behind this book is well chef's kiss Kitty Oh, and I quote call me Kate Pride has a problem Whereas every other mutant can pass through the gates leading to the mutant homeland of Krakowa cheek and art It all has to do with Kate's fading abilities, which apparently come into conflict with Krakowa It's self a living entity with a bizarre mutant biology It's also an island obviously That means that Kate is the only mutant confined to your old fashioned means of transportation and not too happy about it Enter Emma Frost offering Kate a unique opportunity what follows is drunkenness frustration and Very welcome heroics before I knew it. I was staring down on this gorgeous piece of Kate embracing a new position and persona Look at that outfit. It's I might just die That's not to say that Kate isn't having a really hard time She is she used to be the mistress of the Xavier or was it Jean Grey school for mutants She went to space to be star-lord for a hot minute. What was that about? She was dating Peter Quill. What was that about in her wedding with fellow X-man? Colossus ended up collapsing in what I would like into a wildfire at an oil factory She's a little unmoved. Don't ask me how it's a wildfire at an oil factory There was a forest next to the oil factory and it's called you get what I'm saying, right?  I've seen her in nearly a decade That's to say props on Duggan for writing her Masterfully Marauders is an X-man book to the shortened curlies brimming. That's that's something people say brimming with heroics and conniving plots the secondary villains Hominis Verrendi hold no candle to a devious black king But he more than makes up for it. The volume concludes with Sebastian Shaw overjoyed in the face of his Accomplishment Considering the nature of that accomplishment the expression drawn by series main artist Mattel Lolley Gains a grotesque dimension. It's an amazing sixth issue a triumph for a True villain Moreover, it's done in such a way that sets my hatred for this fictional character a blaze Duggan is a master of the cliffhanger overall half the issues in this first volume of the Marauders left me Grasping for more and all too happy to have grabbed the hardcover which has within The first 12 issues of this series following Johnston Hickman's departure from the X-line of cockbooks in 2021 Duggan is the author that picks up the flagship X-men title based on this first volume. I believe he'll leave his own mark and share enough Johnston Hickman's shoes are Pretty hefty. I imagine them as these very hefty boots not even normal shoes boots to fill. Oh But I haven't even touched on Emma Frost or for that matter on the rest of the team I suppose you will have to return for my review of the second volume now, won't you? if you'd enjoy issue by issue breakdowns of Each of the issues in this first volume from one to six I have those as a bonus a sort of behind-the-scenes thing on my blog and also on my Goodreads account and Yeah, I think that's that's not if you enjoyed this video Please share it with your friends. Subscribe Press the like button, you know all the all the good stuff and Most of all just grab a coin book. They're in steep decline from what I hear We need to read more of them Any coin book will do really and I'll be telling you a lot about plenty of others Hopefully in the new future until then I'm Philip Magnus and I will see you next time Bye


I cannot believe we're halfway through October. I am actually confused, but I'm also super stoked for Halloween So at the same time, I'm very excited I hope you guys are ready for some fall DIY projects because that is exactly what I'm sharing in today's video I have a couple of really fun and really easy and super affordable DIY projects that are definitely going to spice up your room and put You in that autumn cozy comfortable vibe, which we all know and we all love everyone loves it Like if you don't like autumn, what are you doing? Like I'm kind of confused and this is kind of going to be part one of two videos because I'm actually uploading another video in a Couple of days that's going to be a fall room transformation, which is so fun So in this video, I'm DIYing some stuff and the next video I am shopping with you guys doing a lot of really cool stuff And then we're going to put the DIY projects in the space and sort of decorate for the fall times And if you'd like to follow me for your daily dose of DIY on Instagram, definitely do so right there at Lone Fox home I post updates projects all that sort of fun stuff over there and you can also check out my personal Instagram It's I'm Drew Scott also up there for more fashion or honestly if you just want your daily dose of Drew So yeah, follow me there too, but without further ado, let's just jump on into today's projects I really wanted to recreate those pumpkins I saw at Target so I picked up three of these pie pumpkins and then some white spray paint some black paint and some paint Brushes and all that I did for this DIY was spray paint the pumpkins completely white and keep in mind These aren't going to be able to be used in multiple years in a row It's just for a like current situation type of thing And I did do about three coats of white spray paint just to make sure that they're nice and coated and then they use a bit Of black paint and for some reason this part did not film But I used a paintbrush and just splattered on some white paint dots and added a couple black ones and that finishes off your pumpkin It's super easy. You're just gonna splatter it on and you're good to go To create this autumn yarn wall macrame hanging I used a couple different yarns in a more minimal fall color palette And then I also used some scissors and a wooden dowel And this is super easy you guys if you just watch what I'm doing It's so much easier to actually watch than have me talk about it But what I did was use my yarn I started off with a cream color and I measured out just a random amount and then I doubled it tripled it Quadrupled it up. I did about five to ten strands per little section or little color section on this macrame wall hanging And then what I did was fold them in half loop them on to the actual dowel and then pull the ends through And that's going to be your first color. So this is the cream color Then I moved on to gray and for this section. I wanted to be a little bit wider So I actually added of course more strands of this color So I went on and added about probably 10 strands in this section So I cut out 10 of them and then I looped them on and I actually looped them in two Just because I didn't want it to be one super thick one And then this is going to create your second band of color, which is that gray tone And when you do this at random It's kind of nice because the ends actually just fall at random lengths And I think that it adds a very organic look to it as opposed to like a very structured look So then I went on out of this one that has little bits of speckles in it And then added this one as well Which was really pretty because it's kind of like an autumn themed one And then as you can see here the ends all look very very random and sporadic Which is something that I really loved and just continued on with this process going all the way down the pole And then once I added all of my desired colors I used this thin strand of yarn just to create sort of a hanger for it So I tied it onto both ends of the pole and I did leave quite a bit of the ends of the pole Just because I love the way that that looks and that finishes off your wall hanging And next up we have this super cute little acorn garland and what I used was some book pages A pair of scissors some clips string and a pencil and keep in mind that these book pages are from a book that I've already read That's been sitting on the shelf for literally years And I'm just going to repurpose it and use it a lot in future DIYs because I love the way that book text looks On projects and what I did was I just free-handed an acorn on an open little section there And cut it out to use as a stencil for all of my acorn shapes And what I did after that was just trace my acorn over the top of some of the book text And keep in mind that when you cut through these book pages You can actually cut through multiple at once because they are very thin So you can layer them up and cut about five pages at once so you get a lot of Use out of just one cut and then what I did was create a mask And this is just by using the initial acorn that we drew out and I just cut off the top portion So that way I can lay this over the top of the acorn when I spray it with spray paint And it will not get on the bottom half So we're essentially masking off the bottom portion of the acorn and just spraying the top portion of the acorn If that makes sense pretty self-explanatory if you look at the screen And I did this on a couple of them And then I realized I kind of wanted to create an inverse mask and spray the bottom half of the acorn as well So that's exactly what I did once those were all dry and nice and neat I taped up my little banner in the section that I wanted it to go in and use these black little clips I found at Joanne's fabrics just to clip them up on the string And that's all you have to do and you can really do this with any fall motif Such as a pumpkin or an owl or whatever you want to do, but I thought the acorns were cute I think this reach it's actually one of my favorite projects in the video And I used some burlap ribbon a metal ring scissors some book paper and then some random flowers I got at the Joanne's fabric store and all that you have to do for this project is use a hot glue gun Which I also forgot to mention the supplies and this wider burlap ribbon is found in the floral section It's super inexpensive, especially if you use a 50% off coupon and you get 30 feet of it Which is quite a bit all you're going to do is ruffle it up and just hot glue it down In the center point all the way around this metal ring and this metal ring was found I think in the embroidery section and you're just going to go all the way around the ring Adding little bits of hot glue at a time and then ruffling it up and just sort of like Placing it on top of the hot glue and letting it dry And then it's going to hold its shape and kind of give a lot of texture and a lot of movement And just like visual interest to this wreath as opposed to just having it flat or I just personally think it's like a little bit More fun this way I just like the way that it looks and I went all the way around the edge of the ring gluing this down Once you reach the ending point You're just going to use a pair of scissors to cut off that extra And then I did use a little bit of hot glue just to secure down that edge a little bit But don't worry because this area that we finished it at is actually going to be the starting point of where we're going to add All of the decorations So all I did was just cut off or pull off the little flowers from the sections And there's also some pine cones and these little like berry items and these daisies and such And I just glued them in a matter that I thought looked really pretty Down onto the center section of this wreath or the bottom section I guess and I just wanted it to sort of be a focal point as opposed to having it all around the entire wreath And then what I did was use some of that book paper I used in the acorn garlands and I cut out some leaves and I just love the way that this looks I think it adds a very handmade element to the project So I just randomly cut out some leaf shapes both larger and smaller And then folded them in half to sort of give them an actual 3d element And once those are all folded you can use a bit of hot glue and just glue them in wherever you think they look Nice just basically behind the flowers just filling in all the excess gaps and sort of making it look very finished and clean So I glued in all of the leaves you can also fold them in half if you want to or cut them to make them fit a little bit nicer Just to have them peek out behind a little flowers and such And then we're just going to add the ring on the end or on the inside I guess you could say with a little bit of yarn let that dry and you could hang it on your door And be really good and festive for the fall season Okay, honestly those were some good ones right those were some good fall projects We all love a good autumn decor piece like who doesn't I hope you guys really enjoyed though And it gets you guys in the mood for fall because I know I definitely am even though Los Angeles still halfway through october It's not perfectly ready for fall slowly creeping there like during the days until 98 But at night it gets sounded like 60 and then I get a little cold But I open my window larger just so I could be frigid in my own room Don't forget to also subscribe to my channel for more videos every single week that are all diy and home focused And I will catch you all in my next one. Have an amazing day and I love you all so much. Bye


Hi, I'm Sandrine and I'm head educator at Flournil's and today I want to share with you more info about the Max Gloss. So it's a gloss in a bottle so very easy to use. It's it has a high shine It's very scratch resistant and it's totally non yellowing So how do you apply it like you do with any kind of gloss gel above your color gel? You will also see there is an integrated brush in the bottle So you can place it over five fingers You seal the free edge and then you can cure the five fingers at the same time in the smart light for 30 seconds full After curing there is a sticky layer and you can take the sticky layer away by using the non acetone polish remover and a cosmetic pad So make sure you have enough An acetone polish remover on the pad before you remove the sticky layer So if you want to have a perfect shine for more than three weeks no scratch Non yellowing go for the Max Gloss


What's going on everybody? This is 1920 mosaic basketball two box break number two Random teams sold out on jazby's case breaks calm.

I Actually think I don't know. I think we'll see the NBA seems like they got you know a pretty good plan in place kind of have a bubble football is a little harder because There's no really place that has you know multiple football fields within a Short radius like Disney has those basketball courts And I think football is wanting to do home and away games. So that might be a little harder to do I think basketball will be good though. There's Monk or Sean Holmes collegiate sports. I don't think we'll see There's the iron fox montage Bobby Portis. There's a nice Jerichova red Tremont water silver.

For those that don't know I'm Taylor Monahan I'm going to be talking about the original send basically some of our early choices and how they've shaped this ecosystem and More importantly, how can we make better choices so that the world is better tomorrow a little bit about me? Again, my name is Taylor Monahan. I've been in this space since 2013. I got in right before the Mt. Gox crash I've been building wallets in 2015. I started my ether wallet We then did like a brand fork into my crypto and we were acquired by MetaMask earlier this year It's been a it's been a ride. That's for sure But I'm basically like an expert in how to like build wallets also how not to build wallets So maybe I can like share some expertise today So I have a four-year-old now and this is one of our favorite books and it's like quite ironic because it's basically the story of my life When I first started out I Was just building I was building something amazing and I think a lot of you here are probably in the same boat Right. You're in the early days. You're in the early stages. You're building something Inspirational right that's going to change the world. It's going to make People's lives better. It's going to make society better And I hope that you're really proud of what you're building, right? Like you you you create something you brought something new into this world And this space specifically is like truly Remarkable it is next level in terms of like what we are actually doing and the impact that our products can have These are all of the best web three words all of the most amazing things that we can do with the technology and our products and most importantly like I think You know at the end there we have the inclusive community And we have the genius people and the good vibes like that's what I'm here for and That's kind of what I like to focus on most right like when I get on stage. I like to talk about people Because if we only think about the technology and the products that we're building Well, you're gonna end up in this situation quite a bit because the second that you sort of I don't know The second your dreams start to come to fruition the second that everything starts to line up And you feel like you might have a grasp on it.  We're failing the newcomers that enter the space They're getting fished. They're getting scammed They're optimistic one day and then they have their hopes and dream crush the next day And that's what basically the last I don't know like seven years my life have been right like trying to be better every single day Trying to help people understand the technology trying to get people to understand how they can use this technology to actually improve people's lives Because this shit is fucked up sometimes as hopeful and as optimistic and lovely and as much as we want to believe that we are building a better world It also means that sometimes you have to face the reality That our world is one where like This is money. This is people's livelihoods. This is their financial well-being. This is their families or mortgages their children's colleges and This ecosystem specifically the entire ecosystem from the get-go has really been Built on top of these public-private key pairs like every single thing that we do traces back to the private key and That private key is just like a single string of characters And it's so important that I've spent countless hours trying to educate people about the importance of this private key I worked with metamask years ago to rename it now. We call it a secret recovery phrase So that we can like hopefully have people understand the importance of it and the secretness of it earlier But the reality is like the products that I've built are responsible for a lot of money getting lost And if we don't get Significantly better and make web 3 significantly easier to access in the coming years It means that the products I build and we build are gonna be responsible for Billions more dollars lost And that's like a hard thing To wrap your brain around. It's not super pleasant. I Would say it's pretty fucked up And it's been pretty fucked for a while actually this is a comment I made in 2018 One of the earliest mistakes I ever made was when we created my ether wallet We didn't really understand why you shouldn't let people enter their private keys in the browser on a website And so we did exactly that you would generate your private key You would enter it on the website and that's how you access to all of your money That was a terrible idea don't do that seriously don't do that This is This is Dan down is one of the founders of MetaMask And he has a bit More optimistic take right the way he kind of looks at the world around us and the things that we're building is He praises it as we're basically at the eating poisonous mushrooms phase of product development and we are all just Leaping we're taking the leap of faith Hopefully we're coming back and you know letting our product creators know like what hurt and what didn't what worked and what didn't And hopefully the people that are building those products are listening to the people who are adventuring out there into the abyss and updating and improving and iterating on all of their products so that Ultimately it hurts less in the future Because what we are doing is truly like a new paradigm like web 3 We are really starting at the ground floor We are creating entire new systems. We're creating new tech systems. We're creating new social systems financial systems Everything is brand new unfortunately sometimes these new paradigms just You know they come with some struggles and I think one thing that it took me years to really comprehend and really grok was the fact that there is such a huge incentive for bad actors to get your private key to get your secret recovery phrase like it is so huge that I don't know hundreds of thousands of like random scammers around the world North Korean hackers like literally like nation-state actors are trying to get your private keys and We're building the product That houses that thing that has all the people's money That's cool Over the years. We've seen like an increasing number of scams and sim swaps and social engineering fishing spearfishing account takeovers web 2 account takers web 3 account takeovers Supply chain attacks DNS hijacks BGP hijacks injection attacks and Even at the root the cryptography itself. We've even screwed that up a couple of times Resulting in keys either being stolen or inaccessible and this incentive is So so so large like I cannot emphasize the traditional world just does not operate like this There's almost nothing in the traditional world where if you lose it Like that's game over and there's no like path to recourse like that doesn't exist We have so many layers to protect people And in crypto, we just don't have those yet and the hardest thing about this is the reality that Truly people don't understand that this like This string of characters these like random numbers and letters or these words like if they lose that or if it's stolen it's game over and Increasingly Especially with this last bull run. It's not just their ETH, right? It's their tokens. It's their NFTs. It's their collectibles It's their soulbound tokens It's access to communities and games. It's It's everything right it's like basically turning into their identity like we're getting dangerously close To turning that key that that that string characters that nobody really understands Into people's identity and I think that we think a lot about Education we think a lot about UX we think a lot about the UI We think a lot about the things that we can do to fix it. I've given probably like 15 talks Covering how you should educate people more and fix your UIs and it's had Some impact but not enough and the thing is is that the people in this ecosystem are creating real value And they're creating it so quickly That I'm not sure that just like You know updating some copy is gonna cut it Because again at the end of the day the whole entire ecosystem Is relying on these freaking characters right this this string this string. That's a private key Don't lose it That's you that's your identity and all your money and everything you have and your children's future Don't lose it It might look like this That's the secret recovery phrase it's it's it's the same right don't lose that either if That's everything It's kind of it's kind of absurd like when you really just like cut down to the core of it it's absurd and We have such big brains in the space like truly remarkable innovation happening every day We talk about game theory we talk about incentives. We talk about the economics. We talk about so many different things And yet somehow we haven't really been able to come to the conclusion that like hmm Maybe we should focus for a second On how do we actually improve? users lives on the whole at the core protocol layer right we're like solving scalability We're solving we have thousands of VIPs That are solving every single thing Can we do something for like the end user though? That's gonna directly impact their lives and save them hundreds of millions billions of dollars over the coming years Because right now migrating all of your assets from one account to the next is basically the best thing you've got Earlier this year MetaMask had 30 million monthly active users That's a lot of people There's a lot of private keys out there with Ethan them With some asset on any of the other 23 EVM compatible chains Tokens NFTs non-standard tokens standard tokens There's open positions there's open positions across chains there's synthetic assets and right now if you Get into space and start doing stuff and then something happens, right?  It's stressful. It's time-consuming It punishes the people that are most engaged Right so like the people that we want in this ecosystem the most the ones that are like Total D gens right It's punishing those people because when something happens, which it will They are the ones who have to spend the most amount of time and the most amount of real money to move their assets and Frankly it should not be like this because we can do better because this entire ecosystem builds magical shit all day every day We literally create billions of dollars out of thin air like nothing We can do this It's like it's it's it's quite remarkable how limitless our imaginations are in some ways and How limited we seem to be in the other ways So this is the original sin We need to understand collectively Whether you're building wallets whether you're building Smart wallets dumb wallets Whether you're building daps Whatever you're doing whatever layer you're stuck your in We are responsible for what we create We're responsible For how that impacts people's lives Technology is incredibly incredibly powerful, but it is not like the end all be all solution We can't just like put technology or code like in a bubble and say like oh, that's just that thing over there It's a moral. It's a political ice. It's like just this thing what we're building is is not about I Don't know whatever is on your landing page, right like what we're building Is trying to Make people's lives better make society's lives better What we're trying to do is solve really messy problems social problems We're trying to improve how people can coordinate with one another we're trying to Allow people to take control over their lives and their futures and not be restricted by Some government some state some corporation and in order to do that like we really need to value people and we should be putting people and The problems that people are encountering every single day sort of front and center like what are we doing to fix that and Our products are a mechanism that we use the technology is is the tool But the choices Those are ours and those have to be about people and they cannot shy away from the hard things This book is really real guys. I highly recommend it all right, so New paradigms This is a new world. We are actually successfully creating a new world We have successfully onboarded a remarkable millions and millions and millions of millions of people into this new world We have successfully disintermediated a ton of things We've given people control full control. We're nothing himself them what we need to be heading towards is Saying that this stuff this key this whatever you want to call it right whatever it turns into tangibly This is mine Right when we talk about identity when we talk about our things. It's mine What we should be striving for is it cannot be hacked or stolen because it's mine I Have full control over it. I can use it. I can access it. I Can revoke it right if I think it might be compromised? I can be like, oh, let's just pause for a second and reevaluate the situation Let's not let those hackers take that thing and Then once I've secured the perimeter, I can recover it The things that I do They don't just happen on my behalf, but I'm giving my full consent That consent has to be informed like I have to know what I'm consenting to I have to have a choice in that right again choose to consent or to not consent because ultimately We all need to choose how we interact with the world and Also, how we impact the world because it's our choices that shape this world Every single choice that we make So there sorry there are there are a couple of ip's out there that are trying to tackle this problem. I am not Going to Say which one is best. I think that the solution is probably Not one of these it's probably A few more conversations some online debates and whatever evolves from that. I Trust the big brains to figure it out But these are the ones that'll get you started They're the most recent ones if you want to go down the rabbit hole There's like 10 other ones that that really did some deep research for these are the ones that are kind of out there right now ERC 4337 This is sort of operating It doesn't require a protocol change. It'll be Implemented probably by flash bots it gives some quote-unquote account abstraction stuff Then you have 30 74 this is the one that If you have an account right you have a private key right now You can delegate control That's like sort of one half of it right like when we talk about key rotation or key revocation or key recovery It's you know, you have to like assign that authority somewhere else and then the original thing you want to like revoke the authority 374 is the one where you can like it's the rules for how to delegate and Then EIP 503 is a new one. I think we're calling it off usurp This is a Basically, you're gonna deploy some like code We imagine that in the beginning it'll be some simple code But it'll basically take your current account your current private key and it'll give it some like smart contract abilities 503 really makes sense with 3074. It doesn't really There's better ways to do it without 3074 But most importantly, there's a lot of mechanisms and a lot of things we can learn From all the history and all the research that's been done the conversations that have happened around these And we can talk and discuss and put our big brains together to hopefully come up with a really strong powerful Solution that will actually serve real people Because that's the goal we can do anything we want and The most important thing that we do is Continue to dream Don't be limited by some I Don't know Stupid tweetable phrase like code is law don't have your imaginations limited by This ecosystems obsession with immutability or like trying to put technology and code over here and Pretending that's separate from the people over here Everything has to work together Right, the whole system is where the magic comes from and So we all have to work together. We have to use the tools available to us. We have to use each other We have to collaborate Right, we have to get really really creative and we can't be We can't be limited by anything Alright, so I encourage every single one of you To keep on dreaming because that's the only way that we're ever gonna build a better world And we're well on our way The amount of people that are actually using this this technology that we're building It's truly impressive. I never thought that we would get here But I do hope that we're gonna be able to make some real improvements Before the next wave because as of right now, we're simply not ready for a hundred million or a billion people To have their identities Tied to that single string of characters All right, I also have to show some stuff. Okay, so For you those that didn't know I'm a metamask metamask is part of consensus consensus has a ton of amazing things going on One of them is village now. So remember how we're talking about like, you know Incentives and getting people working together and collaborating so that like everyone can be better and more empowered Village now is one of our various attempts to do this. It's really really exciting whereas is village now in the house Make some noise Find them they're freaking cool. They'll explain everything to you. It's a really it's it's it's such a cool initiative and Yeah, I'm so I'm so excited. Okay.  Yeah, no, it's Well on its way to being Decentralized we could not be more excited e.g. And the team have been working on this for God as long as I've known him and I've known him since like 2016. It's been crazy But we are actually making moves there. That's a QR code I don't know where that QR code goes to but I assume it'll give you more information or maybe Party favor, I don't know find out Is in fear in the house it's Patrick here. Oh, okay. Okay, they'll explain to you But all I want to say is that we are committed to building a decentralized world, right? We really are And last but not least where's snaps Okay, we got a lot of snaps people here metamask snaps. This is the future of metamask. I Know every single person in this room has some problem with metamask I have problems with metamask. I Sit there and I go like why do you do this to me metamask and I'm building metamask and then I tell people to fix it and then like I Yell at metamask more. I know that you've all been in this boat with me Metamask snaps is actually the solution though because we can't keep making metamask bigger. We can't keep running around like Doing whatever Taylor says to do and I think that's not scalable We are building for billions of people what snaps does is it enables every single person to extend the metamask functionality So instead of metamask having to like build and maintain Something for your custom thing and try to keep up with this ecosystem that moves so freaking fast What we're going to do is we're going to put the power in the builders hands to actually extend metamask to better Serve you as the builder and also better serve your users Because you actually know best, right?  Thank you Amazing that was a excellent talk We have time for just one question if anybody has a quick question if so, please raise your hand and we'll get on my To ASAP Do I see a hand I? Saw one and then I went down there you go just I'm just blind Yeah, hello, just just a quick question. What would you what will be your perfect world for perfect users? perfect user system for you Like the accounts and the private keys and yes, yeah, for example On what thing can we back the user infos information? So right now we in the physical world we back up with the people's bodies I know that person because I see that person physically beside me So I will need something similar something based on the physicality of the person or something like a second like a second second second factor authentication, but then Yeah, so the reason why I kind of shy away from Saying like this one technology this one thing or this one thing that these one groups of people or this standards body is working on is like the solution is that I think Frankly, I think it's ignorant to think that like Anyone party or anyone group of people can serve like the entire world perfectly and especially at the pace of innovation that we're seeing I think that there's like a couple important factors And I think the conversation is often marred in this like Like account abstraction is the word if you want to Google it like a theorem account abstraction You can get the whole history. It's it's such a big thing It has so many goals at this point, but the thing that I'm most focused on is like I think we need to provide a migration path for users that is as cheap as possible So not migrating all their assets, but going from whatever this old way of doing things to the new way of doing things has of a low cost secondly, I think that People should be able to like revoke whether that's like permissions or their entire key or whatever it may be They should be able to say like no, that's not valid anymore. That's not me anymore and then I think that obviously there's In order to make those two happen there has to be some delegation some permissioning system something where Because like if you revoke all the permissions Then you don't have any you can't do anything. So you have to like give them somewhere else And there's there's a ton of people that have been doing a ton of work on this over the years The Ethereum account of traction research is in conversations like those that's one thing But if you look at decentralized identity, which has been a decades-long effort by some Remarkable organizations around the world that really focus on this That's like a whole Another rabbit hole that you can go down and I will not pretend to think that a like I I deeply understand the This design space as much as them. So if this is something that like really interests you and you want to start working on it I would definitely recommend like starting there and looking for the experts and the people who are talking about it because they are Way smarter than me Awesome. That's all the time we have please give Taylor. Thank you. Love you


Today, we're going to talk about how you can make $4,392 per week using insurance leads, something that I'm passionate about. Like you guys love when I do whiteboard videos, when I break down numbers, when we talk to each other about how to make you more successful. So today I'm going to do exactly that. How do you do this? How do you get from, Cody, I'm brand new. I know nothing. I'm struggling. I'm a 92%er. I want to be an 8%er and I want to make around about $4,392 per week. How do I do that? Let's jump in because I kind of want to walk through the numbers. Now to get to this number, I'm going to use, how about our new whiteboard too? Thing rolls.  All right, so I'm talking about 30 leads per week, right? Most agents are not consistent enough. I'm going to show you how you can use 30 leads a week and walk through it. Now, could I do it with less leads? Yes. But am I guaranteed to do it with this many leads? Typically so unless you struggle with what to do and when to do it. We're coming out with a new live training series called Call to Close that will come out later this week. It will be a live training where we spend about three to six hours doing a deep dive for insurance agents. So make sure you look out for that over the next couple of weeks. You'll want to check out kodiaskins.com to make sure you're aware of that. So 30 leads a week. When you look at 30 leads a week, every agent gets different results. So I'm going to kind of walk through some specific results of what I think a decent agent should get. Now, are there some agents that will get worse results? Yes. Are there some agents that will get better results? Yes. When I set appointments, I'm normally setting at least 40 to 60%. When I get leads, like if I got 30 leads, I'm going to set 12 to 18 appointments. I don't care if I got a text, doorknock, voicemail, email, call six times in the first 72 hours. No matter what it is. I'm going to typically, so I'm going to use a conservative set rate. So I'm going to use a 40% set rate, okay? Everybody can read that. All right, Dylan, it's big enough. Yeah, it looks great. Okay, so 40% set rate. So let's use a 40% set rate as an example. I want to walk through. So 30, 40% 12. So 12 set appointments per week. I don't know anyone in the business walking through numbers like this and helping you be successful like this. I mean, giving you realistic numbers that you can take to the bank, that you can apply to your business. So 30 times 40% is 12 set appointments per week. Now if you're an amazing agent, it could be higher, right? So you could have as many as 18, but I'm going to be conservative and use 40%. You could be at 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%. I'm going to use 40, it's right in the middle, okay?  You should never have less than like six, right? If that's happening, like you need our university, you need our courses, you need to be watching all these shows because that should never happen. You should average a 40% set rate. Any experienced veteran, decent agent at all that isn't brand new, and even a lot of brand new agents will end up with a 40% set rate. So that's why I want to use that number. So you get 12 set appointments per week. You know how I always talk about set, sit, and sell? Out of that, I'm going to take off about a third. So let's just, let's minus one third because they may cancel, they may forget, or they just may stand you up, right? Who knows? They may cancel, they may forget, they may stand you up. So if you minus one third, you get eight, because that's two thirds of 12, eight sets, eight set appointments per week, okay? You guys following me so far? If you're not, let Dylan know because he's got it, he's miked up, he's watching your comments on Facebook and YouTube. But when you minus a third, you end up with eight sits per week. That means that you set 12, Betty, I'm coming over, great, see you Tuesday at two, that's a set. Now when you go and sit with her and she's home and you get in the door, that's a set. So we're talking about eight sit appointments per week, actual sits. Now out of those sits, you should average, you should average 50 to 75 percent closing ratio. The last three appointments that I've been on with new agents, I've closed them all, okay? Now do I average 100 percent? No, because nobody does. But if you do, and this is all conservative, like this could be better, this could be better, this could be better, this, I'm going to use 50 percent, I'm going to use, because what happens is, let's just say that you end up at 50 percent, so that's four cells, okay? So that's four cells. But what about the fact that some of them are couples, right? So let's just say that four, let's just say that you sell four homes, right? Four homes, but let's just say that two of the homes are couples. So you add two couples, okay? So that's literally two more, because two of these were couples, one for the spouse, one for the spouse. So now you're at six cells, okay? And all this can change, I'm just giving you averages of what you should expect. So six cells, six cells, I'm going to minus this and jump back up, but remember, you got some couples in there, you've got potential higher closing rate, six cells. And let's just look at a $732 as like an average annual premium, that's what AP means, annual premium, it means that the prospect's going to pay about that over the course of their first year for the policy. In case those that don't know what I'm doing there yet, that's $61 a month. I've seen that as an average for a lot of agents. Can you go higher? Yes, that's why our call to close live trading series that we're going to do is going to be important. That's why our insurance, wealth university is important, that's how we get that. So then you literally end up with that, do the math for me, $4,392 a week of premium based on the fact that you get six cells. Let's just say, and that's the thing, you could get four, half of them could be couples and you're at six and you're still at a 50% closing ratio of your sits, right? Because the things that could be higher, so I mean, if you need to like write this down, take a picture of your screen, come back and watch this later, I want to jump into a couple of things because let's just say that this is, let's just say it's 50%, okay? So then this turns into 15, okay?  So we're using a bigger set rate is all we're doing and going down the right side of the screen. And let's just say that you still close, now let's just say that you close 60%, right? That's six. Let's just say that two of them are couples. So you actually end up with eight cells times this, 7,332 dollars times eight, that all of a sudden is 5,856 dollars in this example, only because you're a little better on the phone.  You could be less than this, this could be average, this could be more, but the number one reason why this, any questions on this before I erase it and move on real quick? Because the only reason why this never happens for most people is simply, and if you're not doing these types of numbers in your business and tracking your numbers on a weekly basis just like this, then something's wrong. When I ask you, what's your set ratio you should know? When I ask you, what's your set percentage of your sets you should know? What's your closing ratio of the sets you should know? How many times when you sit with 10 households, what percentage of the time do you make double cells as in couples? You should know these things. Agents that don't know these things struggle. But the reason why a lot of this never happens is because you don't do that. It starts with leads, alright? I need leads. Then I need to be consistent about the fact that I need leads. And then I need to skill up on the phone and in an appointment. It's that simple. You want to make 200, 250K a year in this business, I don't care what type of insurance you're selling, leads, by leads. Be consistent about your purchase, buy them every week. Without leads you're unemployed. It's funny how agents will say, we got a testimonial in one of the Facebook groups, somebody just put a testimonial in there saying, hey, I sold seven of my first 20 policies with Cody. I didn't even use math that was that big. And the guy sold a third of his leads, right? He sold about 35% of his leads, seven cells in his first 20 leads. And he put that in a group I didn't ask him to. I didn't even know the guy had ordered. His name's Chris. He put it in there, had some positive feedback, but what's going to happen if Chris does that last week but doesn't get more leads this week? Exactly what's going to happen is he's not going to be consistent because he's not consistent about his purchase. He's not consistent about his sales. Does that make sense? You end up losing momentum and sales. And the number one reason why insurance agents fail is they're not consistent about the fact that they need to see people every single week. Now when it comes to the skill, I mean, we have leads, it's up to you to be consistent. And our leads work. I just gave you a real life testimonial and the fact that we do almost a hundred orders a day now. Do you think they work? I freaking think they work, but then when we talk about skill, the skill is on you. I do free trainings constantly. We do courses available constantly. I'm coming out with this new series, this new concept called call to close. When you pick up the phone to the fact that you're trying to close the business, I mean the entire process, I'm going to be coming out with that really soon because that's what agents need to help with. The call, the text, the voicemail, all of it. The Chris guys that had successful leads jump it on now say, hey man, how do I get one of those Apes Nation shirts? You guys start with this, bro. So we got to get one of those. Make a note, Dale. We're going to wrap up on our site. Don't want people to love that.  You're not going to rep secure agent leads, but you may rep Apes Nation because that's you. That's your brand. That's trying to help you become successful. So yeah, the polos and t-shirts are pretty popular. It was funny that you said that because Tate actually asked if we had secure agent mentor swag. We need more of it. We need to add some stuff to Kodiaskins 8% and secure agent leads and all of it. Get swag-alicious, baby. I love it, Tate. It's up to you guys to skill up on the phone. I can walk through all this. I can beg you to take action. I can teach you how to call leads, have success, but if you're not good on the phone and you're not good in an appointment, none of it even matters. Hey, if you love this video, there's one video you absolutely have to watch. It's how to make $10,000 weekly and it's right there. Go click on it and I'll see you there. Let's do the math. So if you want to think through 10K, so the goal is $10,000. If you divide that by an average premium.
