Hey, hi everybody. Welcome to Dedicated to Financial Planning. You can hear my son in the background.  He probably had some cake or ice cream or something we gave him. So I'm going to let him just be. So if he comes into the video at one point, hey, don't freak out. He's family. He really lives here. Okay. In fact, he runs the house. He's my boss. All right. So welcome Dedicated to Financial Planning. It's the channel on Russell Moore. Be sure to hit the subscribe button. A little like if you like the content and notify in case you want to get more content in the future. Today I'm going to talk about starting an investing series, particularly because we're talking about we've been talking a lot about inflation. And I can look around this room and everything is in this room. The prices have gone up. So inflation is not transitory, at least not right now. That's filming. You want to come over and say hi to people? Come on over and say hi, Benji. Everybody wants to say hi to you. So it's not transitory. Okay. Inflation is going to be here for a minute. I don't mean to sound like a pest in this, okay? What goes up must come down. What goes down eventually will go up. And we're experiencing the up right now. Inflation. So I look around the room, the table, up, desk, up, a printer. You're going to pay more now. Furniture. You're going to pay more. This lights. The lights. You're going to pay more. Television. You're going to pay more. A taché case. Or a book bag or, you know, backpack. You're going to pay more right now. Hey, even for a Bible, you're going to pay more. Inflation. Hats, clothes, shoes, cars, especially rental, especially not just rental vehicles, but also used vehicles, up 32% year to date. Wow. Ground beef is up. 13% eggs are up. 13% fruit, oranges, pears, apples, peaches up over 13, 14%. Everything's up again. So we got to combat this. All right, we got to find out what can we do practically that will offset our cost. Because let me tell you something. Number one, I set out a disclaimer. Let me set this disclaimer out. I'm not a financial analyst. I'm not an economist. I'm not related to Kathy Wood. I love Kathy Wood. I love, and I believe in her. I believe in what she's saying. And I believe she's ultimately going to be right. She's having a rough year. Okay. She's just having a rough year. But she is who she says she is. She's right about Tesla. And I believe she's going to be she's right about a lot of the innovative companies that she's supporting that belong to her ETF. Okay. So just watch it. But it is, it's going down a lot of her, a lot of her ETFs, they're going down. But I'm like, Hey, buy on the dip, buy on the dip. I'm gonna personally get, I'm personally going to get at least a couple of her ETFs. Not at this time, but I will. I know, I know she's right concerning innovation. All right. Anyway, back to what I was saying, disclaimer. I'm not, I'm not going to tell you what stocks to get, what to invest in. I will not do that. So that's my disclaimer. Number two. And this is, this is for my young folks out there, young people that are out there, newbies, because my channel is geared towards young and the new investors. Invest while you're young. Invest while you're young. Let me give you one of the reasons. Number three, one of the reasons is compound interest. Compound interest. Let me give you an example of what compound interest, what I mean by that, because somebody said, what is compound interest? Let me give you an example. So you put away $300. Just monthly, $300 a month from the age 20 to 60. And you make, say an average of the stock market, 8%, just say you make, you know, some years you may make 12%, some you may make 6%, but on the average, 8% is your average return annually. And you're putting away $300 per month, 20 from 20 to 60. That's 40 years. At the end of that 40 years, you'll have about a million dollars. Now, let's say you take the same $300 and you start at 30, 10 years later from 30 to 60. Now you got 30 years, 8% return. You'll make $440,445. You see the difference? Almost a half a million difference, over a half a million. In 10 years, because the compound, the interest compounded. The more you save, the longer you save, the more you gain. Okay? So as a young person, start early. Begin to discipline yourself early. You know, Charlie Munger was on CNBC being interviewed by Becky. I like Becky a lot. And, man, it was like two hours. It was a question and answer series. They were on, I believe, the Daily Journal. They were at some kind of conference. And one of the things that Charlie Munger said that was, he said a lot of good things. He said a lot of great things. But when in concerning, investing early, he talked about not being, not chasing the blame, basically is what he was saying. It's like, a lot of people want to buy all this expensive stuff, and it doesn't make you happy. Instead of just building their finances, building their portfolio, building and building, they're wasting their money on things that don't really matter. And, you know, they could get, they could purchase a Toyota, but no, they've got to go get the latest Mercedes Benz or something like that. And it's like, save your money, invest your money, be smart. You don't have to buy the latest and the biggest things. You don't have to impress anyone. You don't have to try to impress anyone. Be content with what, just be content with what you do have. And let me tell you something. That Toyota will run just as well as the Mercedes Benz. Car, it's a car. Yeah, there's a few other things because of luxury that you'll get. But let's face it, it's not going to make you any more happier. It's not going to make you even more fulfilled. So why not just forget about trying to impress people? And I thought it was a very good statement that he made about that. So I want to encourage people not trying to preach to you. I'm just saying that be a little bit more modest, be more concerned about your future. And that means that you may have to suffer a little bit when you're younger and sacrifice a little bit more. But you'll be happy at the end. You'll be happy as you get older. When you get closer to retirement, you'll look back and say, I'm glad I made those sacrifices. While your other friend B didn't do that, party, spent, wasted a lot of their money, made a lot of money. They made a lot of money, but they wasted a lot of money. And so they get to the end of their life at a time of retirement and they're not happy. They have to work a little extra. They got to put in more time. They don't have the money they have to settle down. You don't want to be that way. Okay. All right. Number four. Control and take care of your debts. Control and take care of your debts. So you want to control your debts. You want to take care of your debts. So whenever you and it happens, you guys, it happens even to the best of us. You'll get in debt. And what I would say is, as soon as you start getting in debt, as soon as you start getting in debt, the sooner you want to start attacking your debt. Now, once you get out of debt, stay out of debt, look at and write down all the reasons why you got it. How did I get in debt? There was some kind of a habit that you developed something that you did you started doing on a regular basis that was not good for your finances. And you want to write that down and say, look, I will not repeat this. I was going out all the time. I was buying his clothes. I wasn't satisfied with what I had in my closet. I bought this purchase, this large purchase that I didn't even need. How many things that you buy that you really didn't need. And I'm not saying don't enjoy the fruits of your labor, don't enjoy the fruits of your job. Oh, but you've got to plan it out. One of the things I try to do is that if we want to purchase something, we set up an account board and we feed it say, hey, we're gonna put money in there for this specific thing. We're not going to touch our budget just to fulfill this need. We're going to hold the need over here in this account and we're going to just feed it feed in and feed it and it does require discipline and it does require patience. Alright, so control and take care of your debts. Now this to me is like the foundation. One of the foundational things you have to do. And that is change your spending habits. You must change your spending habits. Yeah, I mentioned in the background. But don't worry about that. I'm going to let him flow. I'm not going to add it in my love this kid. Everything I do is for him. Change your spending habits. Change your spending habits. Now, here's what I mean by that. If your spending habits are good, that you don't need to change. I'm talking about if your spending habits are horrible. And you find yourself always spending money that you don't have always overspending always exceeding your budget or you don't have a budget. So you want to get a budget and stick to it. But change your spending habits. There's no spending habit to detrimental to your future and to your portfolio. And you must address it quickly and say look, this is going to be the foundation. This is going to be the foundation of my finances is that I am going to make sure that my spending habits are in line with my goals for me and my family. And I want to have extra money so I can be able to give and bless others. And that's really what my goal is. It's always that the reason I want more money is not so that I can feed me and take care of me and make sure that I've got everything and no one else around me does. I feel like I am not a success. If the people around me that I'm close to and my church and my friends are not blessed to what good is it if I'm doing so well and everybody else around me is. Personally, I wouldn't want that. I want everybody around me doing well. And so the more I grow, the more I can help others. And that's the key you want to help others, right?  And be honest about it. Say, look, this keeps me broke right here. This habit right here, keeping me broke. Number six, how do I invest? How do I invest? You got to evaluate if you're an investor, stocks, real estate, whatever you're doing, crypto, how do you invest? And the number one key I think you have to do is research. You have to research. If you're going to be if you're going to be investing in crypto, find okay, what is crypto? What's the origin of it? Where to come from? What's the purpose of it? I heard a man say this years ago I've always stuck it's always stuck with me. If you don't know the purpose of a thing, abuse is inevitable. You don't know the purpose of a child abuse is inevitable. You don't know the purpose of a wife that abuses and inevitable, you don't know the purpose of your car abuse is inevitable. If you don't know the purpose of something, abuse is inevitable. And so it is with investing. If you don't know the reason why you're investing, abuse is inevitable. Number seven, renting versus buying a house. Oh, this is a loaded one. And I don't want to. I don't want this to go out too far and make this so extensive. But I'm just gonna say they're pros and cons to both. The good thing about renting is that one of the things is that when you come home after a rental, if something's wrong with that apartment, the landlord, the owner is obligated to fix those items. You don't have to you can call them up and say, Hey, I need you to send one of your vendors over, your maintenance guy or whoever, and they got to come over and fix those items. You're not responsible for the maintenance. Another thing is a lot of times in a larger buildings, at least, they're more secure and security is in place. You can't just walk in, they're usually are locks, they're usually gate openers and different things. So there tends to be a little bit more security when you're renting, unless you're like in a like a duplex or triplex or something that's, you know, much more smaller. But if there's a large building that you're renting out, a lot of times it includes security. One of the things I don't like about rentals is this, is that they can go up on the rent. And you might say, Oh, there's rent control and all that, but they still can go up. They can still go up on your rent. And real quickly with homes. Here's the things with homes. You got to fix everything when you own it. Anything that goes down with your house, you got to at least pay somebody to come and do it. Or you got to do it yourself. And if you want to save money, a lot of times you're going to have to do it yourself. And in what the interesting thing about this generation, the younger generation coming up, unfortunately, a lot of guys do not do not know how to fix and repair things. It's interesting. I talked to a lot of guys. And this isn't all guys. There are a lot of guys that know they can, you know, they can handle a screwdriver and they can fix certain things. But there are a lot of guys that don't. And so they got to call somebody.  And that requires more money. When it's as an apartment, when you were in the apartment, that's part of the package. All right. But here's one of the pros about owning a home, owning a townhouse or condo. Here's one of them. And that is interest rates. If you got a low interest rate, like the interest rates are low now, until the 16th, which is Wednesday, I believe, that's when Jerome Powell and the Federal Reserve is going to raise the rates. Well, the housing rates are already going up. But I bought a house in November that got it for 2.7. 2.7% is my interest rate. That's a great rate. And here's what happens when you own a house. Boom. If you got a fixed rate, a fixed rate, that means it's solid. It's stuck. It's not moving. That rate is the same. It won't change unless you refinance. You know, unless you don't do something else affect that to affect that loan, but that loan is locked in 30 year fixed rate, you're good. So your payment is going to stay the same. And if you have a PMI once you get 20% equity, that PMI is going to leave. So that'll reduce your payment again. So here you are. You got this locked payment.   All right. But what you pay is going to stay the same. Another thing about if you have a condo or a community that have HOAs, if you have an HOA, you're going to be paying HOA interest rates, HOAs repairs on you. So that's some of the things that and taxes, that's some of the things about houses that you have to consider. So you got to find out where you are in life and what you're doing right now and say, Hey, is it time for me to buy a home? Do I have the money for a down payment? You want to have 20% if you don't, you don't have to. Many people say you got to have 20%. No, you don't. You don't have to have 20%. Want to just get into the house, but your payment is going to be higher and you're going to have that PMI. You're going to have that mortgage insurance. You're going to have the private mortgage insurance and they do that mortgage company and do that because they feel like you're more of a risk if you're not paying 20% and they want to ensure that, Hey, this mortgage is going to be paid. So if you don't pay, if you start coming up and you're not paying the mortgage, they got that insurance they can get to make sure they get their money. All right. So that's the purpose of it. But once you achieve 20% equity, that means you paid three or four years. Say you put down 15% and you pay about two or three years on that mortgage, you'll gain that 5%.  I want to say appraise it. Yeah, you're, you have at least 80% equity in the property. You've got 20% to 20% 20% if you've paid in 20% you've paid on the life of the loan basically as far as equity is concerned. And then once you do that, they say, Yeah, you're good. We'll remove the PMI. They'll remove it. Now you're payment drops again. Now you're locked 30 years. Okay. So that's some of the things that you can think about when it comes to renting and housing. Are there other things I'm going to get into? Number eight, 18 to 34 year olds. Now get this 18 to 34 year olds right now. 31% still live with their parents right now in America. 18 to 34 years old. 31% of them still live with their parents. That's fine. Save your money. If you're living with your parents, save your money. Invest. Because most times when you're living with your parents and parents are going to be, especially if they pay their house off, they're not going to be charging their kids $2,000 to live with them. You know, they're going to have compassion. They're going to say, Yeah, we know you're going to rough times. And in some cases they're not say the kid just got out of college. They just need some time. They got this loan that they got to pay back school loans. So the parents say, come on in. Live with us for a while. Live with us for about five years. Save your money. Deal with your debts.  And then when you're ready to move out, you can move out. All right. So that's that's another consideration. That's that's interesting, too. Right now, 18 to 34 years, 34 year old, 31% are living from with their parents. Number nine, why didn't I have more money? Say, why don't I have more money saved? That's a good question to ask yourself. If you don't have a lot of money saved, ask yourself why and begin to attack those bad habits and different things that are keeping you from saving money and investing. All right. And that may mean you're gonna have to sacrifice. Say no to some of those subscriptions. You don't need every subscription out there. You got Disney. You got Netflix. You got Hulu, HBO Max. Get rid of some of that. Go down to maybe one or two. If you got children, you definitely want to I would say, you know, Disney, and it's less is cheaper. Disney has a nice package. Disney plus has a nice package. It's got ESPN that takes care of the men and the guys that like sports and women, too. They got Disney for the kids and the family. It also has Marvel in it. Because then you Disney owns Marvel.  All three of those are together. All right. Last but not least, how to hold yourself accountable financially. You got to hold yourself financially. You got to hold yourself accountable financially. One of the things you want to do is make sure you're transparent and have somebody have somebody that checks and that you trust just found a partner and have them look at your finances on a regular basis. Have them look at all your accounts. And make sure it's somebody that's going to hold you really accountable. Don't just grab anybody that's gonna say, oh, that's okay. You spent you spent $2,000 on a pair of shoes. That's okay. Enjoy your Nikes. No, no, no.  That was that was a bad purchase.  Maybe there's mint or your bank or whatever, use your budget to rebuke you to correct you. As you see your budget at the end of the month, you're like, wow, I need to bring I need to reduce spending in this area. I need to reduce spending. I've been going out a lot. A whole lot of entertainment. Let me quit. You know, I've been spying this certain thing too much and begin to begin to show more accountability and transparency and then check with somebody have somebody that you love and trust that you know it's not going to run off with your money in the bank. Have them come and show have yourself accountable to a person. So that's it for the first installment investing this investing series and hopefully this will help people that you know, during this time of inflation, everything is it is it's on the rise, but things are going to work out. Hang in there. Keep fighting. Excuse me. Keep fighting. Keep investing. And let me give you this acronym that I have G. I. S. S. Yes, J. G. I. S. S. Generate generate more money. Some of you may not be making enough money.  Okay, number two, the number two, the I and in guess is invest. Generate invest so you want to keep selling and give it and then last save. Generate invest so safe.  Have a wonderful evening. Have a great day. Bye bye.


That's right, baby. On each of the sink. Yeah, cause I can reach a little bit to the sink. Mhmm. Alright y'all, so it is an updated wash routine for Jabessa. Now, my name's JV. That's your nickname. So, I'm a little behind this couple of weeks because I had surgery two weeks ago. Two weeks ago? Yeah. So, weeks since I've washed his hair. Alright, I have no shame in saying that I use JV as a guinea pig. So, baby, that means I test that product on you. He thinks that's so, he's so silly. If there's a product that I'm not sure about, like there's two that I'm on the fence about, I will, hold on baby, I will test it out on him. Five and a half. Excuse me, he's five and a half. Oh, geez, geez, I'm too big. Keep your legs like that. So, I'm going to use the Allicay Naturals Caribbean coconut milk. You can see I'm shaking up anything away from his face. So, it doesn't. Green pig. I have never knocked on wood. I've never gotten anything in the shelves eye because I've been very, very careful. Look at that. Look at that lather. It's close to gold that I'm going to be testing out on him. I'm just very curious. And this is a co-op. It's a little bubble gum.  Interesting. It's very soft. Hold your head up, baby, so I can see this. Smells good. Oh, this is actually pretty good. They can't see you. Then what is that on the camera then? Let me zoom in some on you. So, let me show you guys what it looks like up close. This is what his head, baby. Hold your head down. This is what his hair. I'm not sure if I like it. No, no, no. But they can't do that. I'm not sure if I'm liking that. Honey leave in. I do get his hair cut professionally. It's in a tapered Mohawk. So, I can clean it up every now and then. Alright, so now we're going to be using a sponge and a blow dryer to dry his hair.


Ooh, it's another day! It's another recording. What's funny? It's your VIN. Yeah, because this one is interesting. I mean, it's from a comment, so I'm happy about it. Alright guys, welcome back to another video. My name is Kwame and this is... Hi, I'm Elaine. Yeah, and we do record videos every now and then, but yeah, it has not been so much of a while because we released a video last week, so we've done well. Yeah, but before that, we were busy, so we hadn't released a video in a while. But this one is inspired by a comment that I received and, you know, our video... I think our second video together where we did our culture shock stories, which is one of our most viewed videos. If you haven't seen it, I think it should... I will probably pop up here. Somewhere on the screen. You should check it out after you finish watching this. But this one is more of cultural differences within the relationship. So this is the comment. I'm going to read out the comments. And we're probably going to put it on the screen. Yeah. Okay, I'm going to read out the comments. And then we're going to try and answer this question for this lady. So she says, hey, I would like to hear how your... how cultural differences made your relationship and ultimately your marriage either harder or easier or more fun because my boyfriend is Cameroonian and I'm from Serbia in Europe. Always in fifth speed making plans and making plans, having everything arranged for the future and he's more with the gold of flow and laid back, which makes me so frustrated sometimes because it teaches me how to hit the brakes on other things. Thanks for... Yeah, so it's two sides. Yeah, thanks for a great content. You're welcome. We are trying. Yeah, so she is also in a relationship. I'm from Netherlands. And I'm from Ghana and from her... I don't know if I should put her name there now, but that's not necessary. No, don't do that. Yeah, so her boyfriend is from Cameroonian. She's from Serbia. And I think here I'm thinking that efficiency and doing things, being functional and practical versus somebody who in Ghana like we do, go with the flow, things take care of themselves. You still do things, yes, but they still take care of themselves in a way and she wants to know how we have managed our cultural differences. We have not managed. I mean, every day there's something new, right? Yeah. It's not like, oh, we are... Now we are here, like everything is solved. Yeah. So it's always a process, I have to say, and it never stops. Yeah. Unfortunately, we are never done as people. Yeah. That's maybe good to first stress. So I don't know which angle we're actually going to take it from on our cultural differences. Maybe you can share what a remarkable one is in your eyes from my culture and if it makes it more fun, frustrating or sad. I think I can see where she's coming from with being on top of things and being functional and having to do things, make plans quickly. Yeah. Keep moving whilst the boyfriend is rather laid back. So I think it's a European thing that your efficiency runs through. Yeah. It's a fast-paced environment than it is here. Yeah. But it's also a fake sense of control in a way.  I honestly think, okay, what Ghana taught me is that... I mean, we don't have so much control as human beings. Yeah. There's a lot, like if 99% is out of our control, that 1% of our own actions we actually control. But in Netherlands, it can only speak for my point of view. I don't know about Serbia. But in Netherlands, people really try to hold onto that planning of the day as if that is something they are the ones creating the day. But in Ghana, you keep space for unexpected things to happen. And that is often where life happens. So the magical things that are... What do you mean? Life unfolds there in these small moments where you are not on top of things because life is not supposed to be controlled, honestly. That's my main critique about how people live in Netherlands. There's so much control. They know in the morning they wake up. They know exactly how the day is going to look. And it's nice, but it also sometimes makes you unfulfilled when you're in one thing, you're already looking up to the next thing. Because you know after this coffee... I have to go here. Oh, I need to watch this. Okay, yes, but I'm meeting that friend there. Now I have to cycle there. But on the way, I have to get to Heima to buy this and this and this. Otherwise, I won't be able to tonight to this. It gives a lot of stress. Okay. Do you think you're going to be able to go back to the Netherlands to live there? I think so. It's just... So I think my friends, I don't know, but they can comment if they're not agreeing. Okay. My friends are used now to that I don't really plan ahead too much. So if I can text you on the day in the morning, I'll text you. Can you hang out tonight? In the Netherlands, no. People have six weeks to eight weeks planned ahead. I'm not kidding. At least that's the feedback I get. I don't work like that. I don't know if I'm up to seeing you in eight weeks time. I'm not. I don't know. I'm not in the mood. So how can I plan something eight weeks ahead? I might not even be here anymore. You know, I don't even know what I'm doing tomorrow. Let alone in eight weeks. Yeah. I might live on Hawaii or something. Okay. Living in Hawaii. Okay. So for me, I found Ghana balanced me in a way because I used to be very structured and just like that, but it didn't really serve me that much. I got stressed. You're trying to squeeze so many things into the day. You mean your Dutch ways didn't serve you that much? Yeah. So for this person, what we are trying to answer here is that now you're saying this and it's relatable to her. She should rather look at embracing or understanding. It's more of understanding the two worlds and finding a way for yourself to adapt makes it work. Yeah. I'm not saying like be Cameroonian. You cannot. Yeah. Or change your ways completely. No, like there's a range of options. Right. You can plan six weeks at or you can plan one week ahead. I plan mostly in a week. I know a little bit what's going to happen or the things that I find important. I try to plan. Yeah. But the rest. I might be too tired. Yeah. Oh, I don't know. I don't know how you perceive it watching the Dutch way of doing Ghana. The Dutch way of doing things in Ghana. What do you mean? I think I'm still Dutch and do things the Dutch way. Yeah. You are still Dutch but you have adjusted. Yeah. You have adjusted. And I think for you and your partner in your relationship where I am. You find that if you're going to be from completely different outbringings and cultures.  So how do we navigate this? I think that the core of all of these things and even what we're going to be going through in this particular video talking about differences in food, maybe differences in time management and all these things versus being laid back or whatever differences in personality and upbringing as in voicing out the things that you say which we're going to go through all of that. The core of all of this is going to be bridging. Yeah. A bit of both worlds which is technically what you are. Yeah. And I think in my opinion that yes because you're from a different culture or different country the differences will be bigger but I feel that no matter if you would be with a Serbian guy you would also need to build bridges because you're not the same person. Yeah. Whoever you're with. Yes. But here we're looking at you. Whoever you're with. We are building bigger bridges probably because the differences are more profound. Yeah. But you will need to build bridges anyway. With anyone. Yeah. With friends, with family. I mean my dad doesn't work the same way as I do. So we have to build a bridge there. Yeah. So you're always building bridges. It's just like I think there's an art or muscle to building bridges and you will get better at it. Yeah. But what I would say is. What would you say? It should be a conscious effort. Yeah. Definitely. From both parties actually. Yeah. So if these things frustrate you I think you should let him know and encourage him that. So you don't have to try and change the person. You can't. Which is one of the worst things you can ever do in any relationship trying to change the other person is rather trying to live with the person by knowing who they are. And this is where effort comes in. So it has to be a conscious effort on both sides. If he's too laid back maybe if he knows that these things are important to you he can you know also make an effort to meet you at a certain point. And if you're also too quick with planning into the future and doing all these things and the effort seems to be coming from only you maybe you can also bring your plans a bit to the present to meet his laid backness. So he does a bit with okay like Lane was saying if you're going to do plan for five weeks why don't you bring it to this week. This is what you know it would be nice to do. So that he also tries to meet you up for this week. Instead of trying to a seven weeks into the future what are we doing and he's kind of like chill because he doesn't plan that far. Yeah. Yeah. So that's one cultural difference in terms of what I've seen in a lot of European countries and people the efficiency bits and planning things and control or the fake control but I think it's also because the environment is like that. You have things that work in a certain way. Yeah. But just because it works do you need to stretch yourself as a human being. That's what I'm wondering about. Yeah. But if you find your place if you find yourself in the place where the culture the people are all doing it. It feels odd. Do not do it. Yes. And if that's what you've always known. Yeah. So it's good to step out of your own what is normal. Yeah. If that's what you've always known it doesn't come off as well. I think a lot of people have a stress in the Netherlands but anyway it's fine it's different conversation. Yeah. So cultural difference for example on food. What do you have to say about that? I think in the Netherlands the food culture is very different so we eat small small meals throughout the day so in the morning we eat small breakfast yogurt with some fruits maybe some crossley. Coffee. Coffee of course.   We eat heavy heavy heavy. In the morning. If you're fortunate to have a three. No you don't do three meals in Ghana. You do. Yeah it depends on the food. It depends on the food on the person and who you are but on average it's supposed to be three. Most mornings even though you're doing heavy it's sometimes even in your porridge and the bread with it and the amount of porridge and bread and groundnuts and all those things or oats or whatever it is so it's still heavy even if you know it's warm meals. I'm not going to just eat toast for the sake of it. And I think the timing is also different so in Nellows you have set times to eat so in the morning I know when my breakfast will be between seven and eight and then in the evening around six I'm like I'm hungry I want to eat and in Netherlands we have a tradition I don't know if you call it tradition but we eat like they always say does she eat around six like on the dots.  That is at least what I grew up with. I can't speak for the whole of Netherlands but at least that's how. And here in Ghana I have a few friends who are also Dutch and they have a Ghanaian spouse and most of them I've just given up like I'm not eating together with my spouse because in Ghana you don't know whether you're going to eat at five four or eight nine you don't know it depends on your activities. And I really like to eat together but for him it's a conscious effort to like do you want to eat together and we had to talk about that because sometimes he would say no I'm not going to eat now and then I would be sad. Yeah because he wants to eat together.  Yeah and that is also something I never thought of before I came to Ghana that we eat we talk and we eat at the same time like in the Netherlands it's a moment of community coming together at the table talking talk about your week talk about your day like and it's more than just food yeah yeah definitely yeah it's more than just food it's a time or it's an opportunity to spend time together yeah especially because since so I understand here because you have a lot of plant activities in the day a lot of people also do that individually so you don't get to spend time together in the day. No you don't that's true yeah that's definitely true. While over here yes now is different because people go to work and everything but back in the day most of the jobs were informal most of the jobs back in the day are growing up your mom had either a store or something or whatever it is or even if she was a teacher and that was a bit formal not a bit formal formal formal she will still be home at a certain point the kids would have closed from school she would cook and then you eat not together but mom will be home but there was never a point where the whole family had something to do and they'll go and do and we all come back at the same time and look forward to six o'clock as our meal time and that's where we share how your day has been. Yeah that's true but my grandparents they actually ate warm in the afternoon in your time yeah so whenever I would go to my grandparents house to stay over or something as a kid we would eat warm during lunch and it was so weird to be so what changed I don't know I think this is the first life that I think it was it was a slower time then or what I'm also thinking a lot of people used to work in factories like factory shifts and then it was a long day so maybe that's why they ate like a heavy in the afternoon in the evening you would eat bread well industrial area I think my grandparents yeah they grew up factory work and all those things where like now things are more automated yeah that's true so maybe that's why yeah so this is faster so that might also be it in Ghana I sometimes miss the vegetables I really like vegetables I know in Ghana you use a lot of tomatoes, onions we blend it it's more like a stew kind of yeah we blend it into spices crunchy vegetables but we do do crunchy vegetables but it's not from time to time we do and for example I know how to make eggs too my mother-in-law told me and then I add like carrots and green pepper and you know other vegetables just to make it a bit more you so that's also again they advised like see how you can twist it give it a tweak to make it a bit of you because the first time I added the vegetables my mother-in-law was looking like why are you doing that girl but now she knows I like it so that's why she's cool with it and whenever we make eggs too then she asked like should we add carrots same we made all of this weekend and then my sister-in-law was like do you want to add vegetables and I was like yeah I want to add vegetables because for us the vegetables are blended into the stew and we do add carrots we do add green peppers but not in the amount yeah very small small small not very small yours is a bit above average yeah yours is a bit above like you a lot of carrots a lot of green peppers zucchini like a lot whilst we would rather you know sprinkle a bit on it to have a bit of texture but not necessarily overtake the whole sauce with it yeah and I think I'm now thinking with the food and the planning wise we do have a lot of discussions eat the discussions about what to eat for dinner because I am already thinking about the next meal often when lunch is done I'm like around six I have to cook so you're planning again planning again while he is just like when I ask like what are you ready I'm not hungry yeah you figured out when you're hungry but when I'm hungry I cannot think so I need to plan it out so that one we do get a bit of frustrated sometimes because he's like why are you already thinking about dinner it's just four o'clock but I'm already like ahead of the game like hello we have to eat in two hours what are you gonna do right yeah and it's annoying for you sometimes because and then he because he's not hungry he doesn't know what to eat I'm like we need to move people yeah so so I guess I guess like we're saying ultimately is if you have a partner who's open minded it will save you a lot because then it means that's they're open to discussion they're open to trying new things they're open to bridging and they're open to compromising and finding a way that both of you can accommodate each other and if your boyfriend I don't know how long you've been together if you're still together then it's a good thing so some of these things are things that you should just consider that okay fine it's a cultural difference that needs to be yeah addressed yeah addressed and not like ruled out or say that because for example with respect and oh yeah doing things for people or speaking a certain way or people unspoken rules when it comes to cultural differences with regards to relating to people that a woman is supposed to or a man is supposed to do these things or women don't say these things to their partners or men don't say these things to their partners or men don't when it comes to that and you're in a relationship with somebody from a different culture set afresh whatever you know doesn't apply or it's not absolute that's what I'm trying to say yeah whatever you've grown up knowing isn't absolute you have to be open even when you're both Ghanaian you grew up in different homes you could have had parents who are much more laid back and allowed you to do certain things which when you grow up make you seem a bit spoiled to other people and then you might have somebody who grew up with straight up parents and they do things a certain way and they demand it and make you rather seem lazy to them or something so some of these a quick word or conversation would hatch it out and you'd be able to see that oh okay and I also think yes there are cultural differences but there's also the layer of language and then there's also the layer of personality because I'm a Ghanaian so yes he's a bit more laid back but he's very strict in time which is his personality so it's a different like even though the culture the Ghana culture might be a bit more laid back than the Dutch culture that does apply to a certain extent but because his personality is also there he is a bit more strict on time than maybe an average Ghanaian so to say so also be careful jumping to conclusions where things are coming from and the language one so for example with the respecting I if I literally translate how I would ask something politely in Dutch then I would say could you do you want to do you want to maybe get the laundry see how it translates do you want to maybe get the laundry like what the hell do you mean do you want to it sounds more a bit passive aggressive like oh I did laundry do you want to maybe get it well I if in Dutch I would say not bakker which is very polite so now he told me that it's better to say could you please get the laundry for me do you want to maybe get the laundry like we had a lot of discussion about it so even though my intention was good well good intentions only get you this far because the impact was different for him and in the end it's not I mean intentions are important but I need to focus on the impact it has on him and it didn't work it would confuse him and then it would confuse me because I was like I thought I was polite and now he's frustrated with me I didn't say that so focus also on the impact and talk about your intentions because later I really had to repatter that that I don't say do you maybe could we maybe could we maybe do this together well I really wanted to do it together but then I didn't know how to ask so the language something that might be very polite in Serbia might very be rude in Karmarum or come forward not very rude come forward as a bit insensitive or too forward or a bit passive aggressive and I do think yeah the open mindedness is really key because I cannot be with somebody who is very set in its way and doesn't want to listen to me so also in the respect element I respect you as my partner but I'm not gonna go very traditional as being a wife when a man comes home you just only sit and I'll serve you dinner and I'll wash your dishes and do everything you need I clean your shoes I do these things but I do them for us I don't do them necessarily for him but that's part of culture we do it together we do what we have to do it's not that you do it because you are the wife yeah there's a cultural layer there as in the Netherlands it's quite horizontal in relationships so you are my equal that's often how we approach people I will be respectful but I'm not gonna bow to you worship we don't like to worship the Dutch so no I don't know that's another conversation but then there's also me as a person because yes I'm a feminist so I'm not gonna do all these things for you just because I happen to be a woman we are doing it together if I'm good at the laundry I will do the laundry I will pick up some other things in the house so there's the personality as well and then the language is how you talk about it so it's important to address it and then you move forward together do you want to maybe sweep the room do you maybe want to record a YouTube video we don't do that anywhere so I think you're right it makes yes there are challenges it makes it frustrating but it also now we are laughing about the maybe do you maybe want to it's fun, challenging and frustrating all in one and it's up to you to define the layers with your partner and talk about it or at least address it I'm sure some conversations are difficult and it's good to ask questions not the questions that the other person feels they need to defend it but for example we had a conversation about hair yesterday but my hair type as you can see is very different so I don't know a lot about his type of hair and how you should care for it what is even being done at the barber or the hairdresser I don't even know and that's I mean you can find all things of that but I don't know so then he's explaining to me what happens and he's sending me pictures so I know okay this is what happens in the saloon and so also try to ask questions okay so why are you doing this without dismissing anybody I just want to learn I think that's also a nice reminder to just ask your partner hopefully you're comfortable with them and then you can ask okay so why did you want to do this with your hair and you go from there and sometimes you come to find that it has no cultural meaning to wanting to do I just wanted to do it because I just wanted to do it it's a style and that's again your personality so try to find the layers in your interactions is it cultural sometimes we run into something and we're like why are we having a different opinion on this and then maybe not in a moment but later we'll sit down and talk about it so these are a few examples of some of the things that we encounter of course your individual encounters or relationships will be different so I'm actually happy to also hear from you if you are in an interracial relationship or even you're in a relationship with somebody from the same race but culturally you're very different and you have certain clashes you can also comment down below what some of these things are and how you manage it but ultimately like we're saying it's open-mindedness communication and accepting that your differences don't have to separate you but there's a way to bridge it and make it and remember it's not always pretty I think that's with every relationship you're not gonna always get the rainbows and the unicorns the first time it takes time to grow a relationship is work no matter whether it's family a loved one or a friendship you have to put in the work so put in the work show up for each other and yeah it's gonna be messy and gray and everything but I also feel that that's where coming back to the magic that's where the magic is because once you understand it you can build from there and the only way is up if you really want to I'm like a pastor I was like what the hell is going on I don't know I feel so enlightened today but anyway so yeah that's what we can say about this I'm sure some of these conversations are also repeated in coming days or coming weeks when we find a different angle or something so let us know if you're interested in some other topics that you want us to touch on and then we'll talk about it so in the meantime I hope that we've answered your question very well and we're gonna end here and I'm doing this because this woman has a tendency of running running dummy yeah it's verbal diarrhea instead so do like this video if you found it useful and subscribe to the channel this is so mean because he asked me to be on the youtube videos he asked me yes she often says she's not comfortable but when she gets too comfortable and then my control kicks in and I'm like so and then when the video does well he forgets about me having verbal diarrhea please like this video subscribe and we're gonna bring you another video hopefully very soon we've done well by bringing you two in two weeks which we seldom do so yeah thanks again for watching and we'll catch you in the next one bye doi doi


The researchers have developed new caucogenide materials that can be used for non-linear optical effects such as second harmonic generation. These materials contain lead cations in their cationic groups, which allow them to contribute to the non-linear optical effects. The materials have been shown to have large phase matching SHG intensities, exceeding those of Agis II, and have bandgap values greater than 2.33 EV, allowing them to avoid two-photon absorption at 1,064 nanometers. Additionally, they have lower anisotropies of thermal expansion coefficients, resulting in higher damage thresholds. This article was authored by Wenfei Chen, Binwen Lu, Xiaomin Pei, and others.


Homophones. Two, two, and two. These three words, two, two, and two, sound exactly alike. You can't tell the difference when you say them. Two, two, and two are homophones in the English language. A homophone is each of two or more words that have the same pronunciation but different meanings, origins, or spelling. Perhaps the easiest one to understand and use is two, T-W-O. Yes, it's the number two. I saw two gorillas walking. Two fish were swimming upside down. The elephant and crab are two creatures that live on Earth. The next word to consider is two, T-O-O. Two is an adverb and is spelled with two O's and each O has its own meaning. Meaning one, also. Here are a few examples. I want to go with you too, which means I want to go with you also.  Meaning number two is very or more than sufficient. Some examples are things are happening too fast, which means things are happening very fast. Or that person is too intimidating, which means that person is very intimidating. Two, T-O is a preposition. It shows the relationship of words to each other. One meaning of two is toward or in the direction of. For example, I went to the store, which means I went toward the store or I went in the direction of the store. The second way to use two is with the verb in its infinitive form. I am going to run in the marathon. Here we use two plus the verb run. Understanding their meanings will help you differentiate between two, two, and two.


Okay, we're here in theCUBE unpacking the HPE GreenLake announcements. Daniel Newman is here as the principal analyst and founder of Futurum Research. Daniel, good to see you again. Dave, always good to jump on with you. It's good to have a minute to sit down. So what's your favorite announcement from GreenLake? What do you make of what they announced today? Well, I love the opportunity for the company to position itself up against a growth monster like Snowflake. I mean, looking at the ability to handle the breadth of the data at scale and offer a data service that can compete in that space, that's exactly the kind of narrative that I think the markets, the outside world is gonna wanna hear from HPE is how, you know, you're not just competing with your traditionals, the Dell's, the Cisco's, the IBM's. You're going after the mega growth cloud players in data services. And for me, that's really attractive because I've been really on top of HPE, saying, hey, you're doing a lot of the right things, but people have to feel and see the growth. To me, this is a major move toward a TAM expansion strategy. It's kind of the job of every CEO, right, is to expand the TAM. And I'm interested to see how HPE plays this and communicates this because, you know, traditionally it's a hardware company moving into data management, data services. That's an enormous market. I mean, we always talk about how important data is, but data management is just huge. And to do it in a cloud-like fashion, how do you see that as potentially expanding the total available market for HPE? Well, first, let's just almost walk it back a second, Dave. HPE is a cloud player, okay? And that's the story that it is trying to get out there. It is not a hardware player that's tinkering in software, but HPE has done software. This isn't its first go, but if you wanna be a cloud player, you look at the big hyperscalers, you look at the AWSes, you look at the Google, you look at Azure, the Google. Built, not just on hardware, it's built that big C. You and I've had this conversation before, all the things that make up the cloud, it's the hardware, it's the software, it's the services, the platform. You gotta put all these things together. And if HPE wants to be a public cloud experience, taking advantage of where we're moving with hybrid and offering it private, it has to have that same subset of services. Look at the investment, whether it's been AWS or Google or Azure in data services. HPE has to be in this space. So seeing this come to fruition, in my opinion, is directionally the right path, getting it to be well received, winning the right customers and showing the growth from these investments is gonna be the next important phase. Do you see that as a service model as being more margin friendly for HPE and if so, why? Well, I think universally we've found there's two major improvements that moving to the Azure service. One is it does over time create expanded operational margin. It's just economies of scale. You can utilize every resource more efficiently. Of course, there are CAPEX expenses. You've seen the amount that hyperscalers have had to spend to expand their footprints globally. So there is some CAPEX up front, that also on the back end creates depreciation and different bottom line profit creators. At the same time though, as a service is huge for the multiples and the valuation, which by the way is one of the things that has been a real in focus point for HPE is how does it up that number? You look at the snowflakes, not even profitable but getting huge multiples on revenue. And then you see even the other hyperscalers all getting bigger plays on revenue and on EPS. Most of it has to do with the fact that recurring revenue is beloved by investors. But it's also really sticky and creates a ton of stability within the company for the culture of the business to say, hey, we have customers. They're going to stay with us. They're not going anywhere. They're subscribed to our services. They're buying into what we're doing. And by the way, net revenue expansion, as you get them sticky, you layer in new services. We've seen how this has worked across the board with public cloud with software with SaaS. Can HPE do it as well? And of course it's been something they're doing, but it's something we need to watch really closely. And I think it's an opportunity that the company needs to lean into. And I think they will. You mentioned snowflake a couple of times. There's a discussion in the industry. It was sort of prompted by Martin Casado and Sarah Wong about repatriation, particularly as it relates to software, SaaS companies that the cloud bill is so high at some point they're giving away margin. So they're going to have to come back on-prem. I'm not sure that to date that has applied to the general audience of customer, although there's a lot of debate as well between the expensive cloud, obviously, egress charges, et cetera. So it's hard sometimes to squint through that. When you think about HPE bringing GreenLake to market at scale, bringing repeatable processes, driving, automation, et cetera, how do you think that cloud repatriation argument, which frankly, I haven't seen a huge cloud repatriation in the macro, but how do you think that will play out over time? Do you feel like the on-prem play can be as cost-effective or more cost-effective, or maybe you feel like it is already today? Well, I also listened to the Andries and Horowitz repatriation narrative as well. I think there are economies of scale with cloud that companies have to look at closely, but I also think that has a lot to do with why hybrid has been sort of the story of the day. That's why hyperscalers are going on-prem more, and that's why on-prem's are moving to the cloud, is because it's always gonna be some, some group of different placements of workloads to ultimately get to that optimized result. And so when you look at sort of what you asked, in my opinion, ultimately, it's all about the efficiency of your organization, trying to accomplish what your business is, and will there be some repatriation of workloads? Possibly, but there will be a very important hybrid mix, and I think we're gonna continue to see that trend, and I think that's exactly where everyone's going and HPE is going as well. All right, Danny, we gotta leave it there. Thanks so much for your insights. Appreciate it. We're gonna definitely have you back. You and I are gonna do some cool stuff together, so. Yeah, we'll talk soon. Thanks for your time. Thanks. All right, and thank you for watching. This is Dave Vellante for theCUBE's coverage of HPE GreenLake's announcement. Keep it right there.

So in the coming few sessions we would like to describe the method of design of experiment at a case study. So first I will give you an outline. In this session we would like to discuss what is design of experiment, and when ञाद्यात्या ओभी लिजारग ते इसा होग़ा जाद्याद। जोंगो करादर वोंगीस आश्वाया देने सोग़ों बॉश्वाश्वौई� तेतनाम संच्छना त्रीम तिष्झनटिक की च्छनादी कि के आख्वाश्वाश्वाश्वाश्वि दीजiant of experiment methodology and through this case study in the subsequent sessions ते लन functionality's will be to know the process of design of experiment gets applied to a real time situation भी च्感 लिंझ को सब ढंज है तै भी बहुं जीनागा जीक बहुंक glam enough experiment will answer is not always भी ओ� Factory whenever possible सो थू laut्जा दिनक से धो मblesब हम से भैंगा दीजouter have a system येवार भी। नहीं औो बरक्तोल करे वत्याः रहें से हहांँ। लीख करे वत्याः अपकोंध मैं से वाग्टी चीश्टी, शानचा वो सोच्ठा, हम आक आश्चला आपकोंध कि येवारोन काई वत्याघ ढूँ, यूँ अत्य nél saat kaat kaatare अत्यई Sahar input अत्यई अत्यई अतिंट यूँ ॉ अत्यई बि़श YAad ॉ yoot झोईए ठाव में ब॑ष नाए ठाऊpl शे�很有 चमर लय कताउ अतिन। यूँ आ आप क्र मsun वी आप त्रेश य Έक भों �えばon मेगazione अदर तपयकियाग़ा नहीं, नहीं समवोल्गे़ ददीं, तब वो दिने हो नहीं मुहें लिए करते नहीं तभत वैले करते तो कर्वमा वेझाग़ा की सकते रच्छेनाता, नहीं तब विन गेर आप वेशाद शब चस्फीं करते उन्च्च्कुझ़ि किते यह आप, पामत引 कर क coordinator इसंधुड कर कनी हमेंतो 설명 seeing क्स अबसु आप कक इसी मुझिं बाजा करनाय थे अबस... अबस... इस अवो दखना कनी वदycz कनायU टब वड़ाट ऎर बारा कनी मुझिं हु speeches you know conducting the experiment is also factor which have no control over in the factory set up that is in a regular production set up if you are trying to apply this technique or you try to do this kind of experiment you will find that timing of shift, the person operating the system कोरतिः श़़ के लिए �00 एक समझार क्जवी टेशके, अच्छाइनी च्छागिया वाहा, क्जवी च्छागिया घर्छिया भी एक समझार्चा। प्तदी उस हैजी बातने सकाऍित, आच्छाई Josh Shah किया बाशाट़ाता, समझार च्छाएनी, क्जवी टेश्ंवेखा, शूर, at the first experiment and which experiment will come after the second experiment, अस्भान्कब of experiments you don't even have any ideas to how many number of experiments अस्भान्कब कुँँँँँँँँँन तुछ अद ज्बचम. अन्ज़े किछ में, ज़े विया में since l'enclinique, उप्तरिजट आप और सो जच veer l'enclinique, Valli melly number of experiments we are going to conduct. This is called a ''Best guess.'' What it gives is that sum factor effect. Some factor that Αu de prenise those controllable factor, but it gives no interaction effect. I will define interaction effect soon. So, right now we I would like to emphasize that it does not give any interaction effect. Let us consider the case of one at a time. ॐ only one factor at a time ॐ ॐ ॐ the same factor at a time and conduct experiment. So, for example in this matrix, I keep B C D fixed at a level 1. for example, in this matrix, I keep bcd fixed factor as a level one. So, at some value I can keep bcd factors fixed and I vary only the factor A at two different values which I call two different levels. इक ने ज़े शिक्स living Inspector show the 2 Experiments that I find that types of आउ Morning Experiments senate of the आउron has met my requirement. मुलनक do the important आउron claim मुरितारी इक लखम feedback औ� luck लासे योग़ा करते हों। नाब उरगणे ता papier ї। लीक्चित करे करनलन तर थे से भूँस�ितियो थीसर्ईión है। तीसाव म दीसे लिकटर 나온 यहसाव नकरन तर थे शिस्रथोन कर्फ़ाहा यहसा बार्ई्या with level 2, A is fixed at 2 now and this is fixed at 1 1 and I conduct the 2 experiment and from these 2 experiment with respect to factor B, I find that this experiment has performed the best, number 2 has performed the best. So what I do is that I keep that value fixed, so now my A factor is fixed at level 2, my B factor is fixed at level 1 and then I conduct the experiment, so I have 2 1 1 experiment along with 2 1, I now I change the factor C, so I conduct the experiment with factor at 2, factor C at 2 level and I find that among the 2 with the factor 2 of level sorry, factor C at level 2 gives me the best result, so I choose that now factor C will remain at level 2 and likewise I conduct another experiment with factors A, B and C fixed at respectively level 2 1 and 2 and I conduct the experiment by varying the levels for factor D and at the end I find that this is the combination which gives me the best result, suppose this is called one factor at a time method, this is called one factor at a time method, it gives again partial factor effect, it is better than this because it gives you some five partial effect but again I repeat that it does not give any interaction effect, what is interaction well, interaction says that failure of one factor to produce same effect on the response at different levels of another factor, let us understand this, suppose the effect is controlled by factor A, the effect is controlled by factor A and then this effect you want to check if you vary factor B at level 1 or you keep the factor B at level 2, does it give the same effect or with the factor B, A has a different effect, it means that if both things are, if B is varied from level 1 to level 2 and factor A gives you only one effect then we say that there is no interaction effect but if you vary the factor B at level 1 and 2 and the A starts giving you two different effects then we say that this situation says that there is interaction between A and B, A and B, we will explain it once again because interaction effect is very important, so we will time and again if I explain it, so let us move on, when you follow these strategies you are not able to get any interaction effect and therefore we are suggesting that statistical design of experiment with orthogonal design matrix is the best possible strategy, historically speaking it was in 1920s when Sir R. A. Fisher did the pioneering work in design of experiment for agricultural experimentation and he developed three basic principles of design of experiment, they are called randomization, replication and blocking, we will talk about it in future, then from agriculture it moved to biological and life sciences applications and some initiation of industrial application began during 40s, so we can call this an agricultural era of application of design of experiment with GEP box the introduction to response surface methodology came and it became very popular in the industrial era, the difference why this immediacy and sequentiality came is you can imagine when it was applied by Sir Fisher in agricultural science, you do the you design the experiment and you have you saw the seeds and you have to wait until the results came, so you may have changed the watering plan, you may have changed the soil, you might have changed the seeds and you might have made some you know different experimentation using different fertilizers, but it would take at least 3 to 4 months time to realize the result and then analyze it, while applying the same technique in the industries GEP box realized that there is gear in industry the results come immediately and therefore you need not plan a very huge experiment, but you can plant a smaller experiment and sequentially keep improving yourself on making different design of experiment step by step and come to a final conclusion, so instead of having a huge design of experiment to come to a one conclusion, he suggested that in the industry we can go by what is known as response surface methodology, first you conduct a smaller experiment with lesser complicity, but more factors and select a few factors which you find is affecting the most and also you will know in which direction if this factors value are changed you will get a better result and then you start working with a fewer and fewer number of factors and come to a better conclusion after 2 or 3 sets of such experiment, so this is called immediacy and sequentiality, this technique flourished during 60s and 70s for industrial applications and other applications as well, it was in 80s that the Japanese electrical engineer Geniji Taguchi introduced a robust design concept, it would be of interest for you to know that the first lessons, the first few lessons of design of experiments Mr. Taguchi, Dr. Taguchi gained very much from India from Indian Statistical Institute and he developed this new technique which is known as Taguchi design of experiments and presently you find that this applications have proliferated in a variety of areas which includes the soft industries such as software testing, model simulation, etc. because the computing power has gone up so high that earlier smaller the design, more the information now we can afford to have a larger design and still have a better information from the experiment analysis. Now what are the 3 basic principles? Please remember in throughout this area the basic principles have not changed, they have remained the same which were laid down by Sir R.A. Fisher and that is randomization, replication and blocking. So these basic principles are the first of all is randomization. See the idea is that what you are conducting in a laboratory or on a small scale in an industry, the results and the analysis of it you would like to apply in the real life situation and as we discussed in real life situation there are many factors which are uncontrollable, they are kind of a random factors. Some factors you can account for in what we will now discuss as blocking but there will be certain human error there will be certain machine error built into your experimental result. These are called random errors and if you want to control the random error it is suggested that instead of conducting the experiment in a one particular sequential order you try to conduct the experiment in a randomized order. You do it in a random way so that the random effect also gets mixed up. It does not remain a systematic effect that from experiment 1 to experiment 16 systematically the machine for example if you use the machine often and often the machines certain working parameters get derailed they slowly get away from their average way of working. Therefore in order to avoid this kind of a systematic error if you randomize the experiment then you take into account this change in a random fashion which may happen in real life and therefore this is called to make sure that the observations are independently distributed random variables to make sure that what you are getting does not have any systematic error but it has a random error in it you go through what is called randomization. Then comes replication this is not something very new we are quite habituated that you do a simple physics experiment you take 3 observations and you take an average of it. This is called observations replication you repeat the observations and then you the idea is again the same that there will be some random error in it and you want to average it out. Well when you consider when you do the experiment the whole experiment itself need to be repeated the whole experiment I am repeating whole experiment need to be repeated each experiment need to be repeated so that you conducted the experiment or I conducted the experiment in a certain circumstances the effect of those circumstances which is also random can be neutral out or it can be averaged out if you do the replication. So replication is says that to estimation of experimental error and precise estimate of a sample mean as an effect. So what you are estimating that itself has an error in it your experimentation itself has an error in it that whole experiment if you repeat as many times as you can afford it is called replication. It is very common to mix up the repetition with the replication observations are repeated in order to get get away from the random errors in the observation which is you average out the random error in the observation by replication we mean that the whole experiments are repeated so that the experimental error gets averaged out then comes blocking you remember we talked about certain factors which are uncontrollable some we have taken care in randomization and replication but for example if you are conducting an experiment in a laboratory and there are two operators for the machine each one have their own style of working and they cause their kind of an error but you cannot really control it particularly when you conduct the experiment in the industrial environment the shift matters what time of the day the person started working on your experiment matters if it is his first experiment of the day it is one kind if it is just before he wants to go home and his shift is getting over his mental set setup will be likely to be different and so his experiment way of conduct you know handling the equipment would be different. So there are many such situations which are uncontrollable so for that it says that you block them it means that you systematically assign certain experiments to different shifts or so that there are different persons in it and you reduce or at least if not eliminate you reduce the variability caused by uncontrollable factors which are known nuisance factors. So here is a general guideline I have picked it up all this picked it up from Montgomery's book you are all welcome to go through it it gives a extremely good treatment of design of experiments. So coming to general guideline it says that first recognize the stay and make the statement of the problem. So you must understand what is the problem that we are trying to solve you give you should recognize it and should make a clear statement of it. You should know what are your factors what levels you would like to vary them at which range you can vary them and then you know what is your response variable. These three are pre-experimental planning before you plan anything you must have this basic idea see number of times this seems very simple and very straight forward but in the haste of doing experiment number of times if these things are not clear the design itself is not having any clarity and the analysis becomes a problem and this is what has been observed several times. So it is very important to go through this first three stages before you design the experiment. Afterwards you design you make a choice of experimental design experimental design is that how many levels you want to vary your factors number two in that case how many minimum number of experiments you must conduct number three how many replications you are going to make number four how you are going to randomize it all these aspects you have to cover in choice of experimental design then comes performing the experiments then statistical analysis of the data you will come up at the end you remember with what is called predictive interval so you will say that if i do everything in this manner my result should fall in this interval so you are actually giving a interval estimation of your result then you must run the validation runs we must make sure that what i predicted by doing the first six steps what i did is indeed true so i must have some validation run and at the end i can make conclusion and recommendation so now we are ready to start with the case of microwave plasma synthesis of nano titania this experiment design of experiment was conducted at arci in hyderabad and it has been published in this paper in the materials and manufacturing processes here the idea is to process we have to optimize the process to produce nano titania with several inputs parameters and we have two responses one is a production efficiency and the second one is percentage of anatase in nano titania powder produced based on the result we have to give a commercial viability of the process to the experimenter this is the schematic of the microwave plasma synthesis apparatus there are seven parameters or seven factors that need that can be controlled first one is called power of magnetron so this is a magnetron power then there is a plasma forming gas which goes from here and enters into the chamber then there is a carrier gas which carries the the feed the feed powder or the whether if it is in a powdered form or ticl4 which is in the either powder form or liquid form this is a carrier gas if it is liquid it has there is an evaporator in it so there is a carrier gas there is a precursor feed rate so this is a precursor ticl4 is the precursor its feed rate is another factor which can be controlled reaction tube length this is a reaction tube and this is whole thing is a reaction chamber so there is a reaction tube length which you can change and depending on that the powder quality may differ there is evaporating temperature in case for liquid precursor only so there is an evaporating temperature here and eventually what is collected here is nanotitania powder and we would like to look into the percentage of anatase in the powder and the yield in terms of percentage efficiency of the process so the objective is to optimize nanotitania production using microwave plasma synthesis synthesis these are the seven factors which is plasma gas flow rate i have given you here everyone as a short form so there is a p actually it is a pfr plasma gas flow rate additional gas flow rate now additional gas flow rate is comes straight to the reaction chamber and it increases the time to for the powder to go through the reaction go through the reaction chamber then there is a carrier gas flow rate there is a powder feed rate reaction chamber length the power of magnetron and evaporating temperature and there are two responses one is a yield as a percentage of efficiency and the second one is percentage of anatase in the powder interaction i repeat failure of one factor to produce the same effect on the response at the different levels of another factor is called an interaction so here we found that the plasma flow rate with additional gas flow rate interaction interaction of plasma flow rate with carrier gas flow rate plasma flow rate with feed rate additional gas flow rate with carrier gas flow rate and additional gas flow rate with the feed rate these were the five interactions found important in this case next so these are the interactions which are shown in the schematic बadox we have to select the levels. रही grenade. रहीद ब femmes low to high. பेराज़ी बब इंत.- कहठा रही? रहीद बther- बब इंकृट�ग.ी सुबध्ठिстिकाओ audio- dulh- बरज़्म का प्रि मेना लोगा बरажу Wherever you इंऋ tonight no? अगड़ा ड़ कौछ़剅च यूवे बínhा Brockיב pleased ॐो यूबु, for This requires you to follow this approach and find that the response graph is something like this- which is a steadily increasing function or it may be a steadily decreasing function.

So it is the interaction between these two. So likewise and then at the end we put an epsilon and I assume that epsilon is a random error, it is IID that is if I conduct n experiments here then I will have n1, n2, n3, y1, y2, y3, yn results and therefore I will have the random error epsilon1, epsilon2, epsilon3, epsilonn. All of them are independently identically distributed with mean 0 and a variance sigma square where I do not know what is sigma square, sigma square is unknown. I call f as a total number of parameters to be estimated then the size of orthogonal matrix, this is my model. How many experiments do I need to conduct? So I calculate it in this way that if f is a total number of parameters that I have to estimate then the size of orthogonal matrix should be say l to the power n where l is the number of levels that you have chosen and l is the size of the experiment then you have to choose your l in this case is 2 because we have taken 2 there and you have to choose n so that your number of parameters that you are going to estimate is smaller than l to the power n. So here we have 13 parameters so f is equal to 13 your levels are 2 so 13 is less than 16 which is 2 to the power 4 and therefore you need to conduct 16 experiments we need to conduct 16 experiment so you have to choose ln large enough so that 2 to the l to the power n becomes smaller than f then l to the power n are the number of experiments you have to conduct and therefore in this case we have to conduct 16 experiments. There are other methods of calculating the size of design matrix suppose number of factors are p number of levels are l then factor degrees of freedom is l minus 1 second order interaction we call it degrees of freedom of interaction then the degree of freedom f is p multiplied by p is the number of factor multiplied by l minus 1 plus q which is total number of interactions multiplied by degrees of freedom of interaction and then the size of orthogonal matrix is l to the power n where n is large enough so that f is smaller than l by n so accordingly we have 7 factors at 2 levels so degrees of freedom is 7 we have 5 second level interaction so degrees of freedom is 5 1 degree of freedom for the constant of the equation you remember we have a constant here beta 0 so for that we have to add 1 into it so total degrees of freedom is 13 and therefore you have to choose n large enough so that l to the power n is just larger than 13 and therefore the size of your orthogonal array is 16 so let us summarize we introduce the concept of design of experiment we gave a brief history of it the three basic principles of design of experiment randomization randomization replication and blocking we explained we explained the general guideline and we introduce the case of optimization of titanium powder through micro-plasma synthesis factor and level selection we discussed and selection of design of size of design matrix we discussed thank you


What is going on everybody, my name is Alex Friedberg and today we're going to be looking at updating and deleting data in a table. Now what's the difference between inserting data into a table and updating data? Insert into is going to create a new row in your table while updating is going to alter a pre-existing row. While deleting is going to specify what rows you want to remove from your table. So let's get going with the updating. So down here Holly Flax does not have an employee ID, age or gender. Now we want to update this table to give her that information. So let's do update. Now we need to specify what table we're going to be hitting off of so let's do SQLTutorial.dbo.employedemographics. So now we're going to use something called set and set is going to specify what column and what value you actually want to insert into that cell. So let's set her employee ID equal to and it's going to be 1,012 and we have to specify which one to do this to because if we ran just this is going to set every single employee ID to 1,012 because we haven't specified that we only want Holly Flax's row to be updated. So now we have to specify where first name is equal to Holly and last name is equal to Flax. So now let's run this and see what we get. So one row has been affected. Let's see what we got and there we go. As you can see the employee ID was updated exactly how we specified it right here. So we also want to update age and gender and let's do that in the same query. So let's set the age equal to 31 and instead of using and we actually need to use a comma. So let's say age equal to 31 comma gender is going to be equal to female and let's run this and see what we get. There you go. Now let's look at our table and as you can see it was updated to 31 and female. So very easy, very easy to specify what you want. Oftentimes tables like this will have a unique key like employee ID is our unique key in this table. So I could easily just say where the employee ID is equal to and then you know 1,012. So it's an easy way to specify what employee you're trying to update. So now let's look at the delete statement. The delete statement is going to remove an entire row from our table. So let's do delete and we actually need to say from and we have to specify what table we want to be removing this information from. So let's do SQLTutorial.dbo.employeeDemographics and now we need to specify what row we want to remove. So let's do where employee ID is equal to and let's choose a completely random employee ID 1,005. So let's run this and see what happens. So one row is affected, let's look at our table and as you can see 1,005 is now gone. Now you have to be very careful when you use the delete statement because once you run it you cannot get that data back there's no way to reverse a delete statement. So if I had gotten rid of this where statement and I ran this it would delete everything from the entire table and you could not get that data back. So a little trick that I use before I actually run a delete statement is I make it a select statement because you're going to select everything where the employee ID is equal to let's just do 1,004 and now when you run this you are going to see exactly what you will be deleting and now we know that Angela Martin that entire row is going to be gone. If I hadn't done that and I just went like this and I wrote delete and I only had this running I would not know that this information is going to be the only one that's gone. Maybe I made a mistake down here, maybe I accidentally put something in there that wasn't supposed to be in there and now I'm deleting much more than I thought I was actually going to delete. So using the select statement can be a very good safeguard against accidentally deleting data that you do not want to delete. So that is update and delete thank you guys so much for watching I really appreciate it if you like this video be sure to subscribe below and I'll see you in the next video.
