Hey everyone, welcome to Kaiser Permanente, Colorado's Arts Integrated Resources Lafisuticals, the virtual edition. I'm at home because of COVID-19. You probably are too. Hold on one second. That's better. Big shout out before I keep going to my son, Aiden, who's helping me film today. Yay! Okay, so what we're going to focus on today, when we talk about laughter as well as today, it's about writing a joke 101.  Yes, I do. You can do this. It's a great way to connect with someone, make something kind of unique because you're the writer, you're writing a joke specifically for them. If that sounds interesting, stay tuned. Why would Kaiser Permanente, a healthcare organization, want to include laughter? Now, of course, we all know the phrase laughter is the best medicine. Of course, that is a very simple answer. That's one thing. Here's a couple other things that you should know. In an article from The Greater Good, there's a conversation around how laughter can show others that we have a similar world view. It may unite us and strengthen our relationships. It brings us together. And right now, we all have a similar world view on we're all trying to figure this out. We don't know what to do. So this is the way that we can work together. It also connects us. This next article is kind of interesting as well. It talks about how laughter may actually inhibit our flight or fight response. So if you're kind of not knowing what to do right now, or you're just kind of angry at everything going on, laughter actually can help us cope with that and deal with that. Now, to be fair, these jokes are not going to get you like on stage performing for the 10,000 people. If they do, I get 15% commission. But no, these are more like cheesy, kind of goofy jokes. But something that you can actually connect with someone, make them kind of smile a little bit. Just have a little lighthearted moment. That kind of connection is what these jokes are great at. Okay, for example, so Aiden, why is COVID-19 not in Antarctica? Why? Because it's so isolated. Dad? Yeah, that's what I'm looking for. Okay, so this is a classic improv joke setup. It's called 185. The setup goes like this. 185 subjects go into a bar. The bartender says, we don't serve subjects in this bar. The subjects say, that's your punchline. This is your setup. Now, how do we get this to here? Watch. Okay, so if you haven't done it, grab a piece of paper and pen. I'll hang up for a second. And then step one, draw two circles or a donut or a lifesaver or use your imagination. I got a paper cut. Putting the paper back on the poster. Okay, now just kind of draw, almost would feel like little like quadrants kind of an area here. Okay, I'm going to do this one out here. And now it's a happy little sunshine. Yay! Okay, now Aiden, in all sincerity, have I told you what to say next? No. Okay, promise? Mm-hmm. Great. Give me a job that you think would be really cool, a really tough job or a really hard job. I know an exciting job. Maybe like a movie director? Movie director it is. Well, Steven Spielberg back there. Okay, so movie director is going to be my subject and I'll show you more in a second. Okay, so movie director is my subject. Let time be your friend right now. Meaning, a lot of times when we try to be funny or witty or anything, we want to think about things and really focus in on them. And don't worry about that. Trust yourself. Trust your brain. You got an amazing brain right there. Let's use it. Okay, so I'm going to, in this circle right here, write the first words or thoughts that come to mind about movie director. So I might say famous. I might say action. I'm going to maybe say cut. I'm going to say the director's chair. I'm going to say Steven Spielberg, since I just said that out loud. Good. Steven Spielberg. Let's see.  In charge. And I'm also going to say Oscars. Okay. Step one. Trust yourself. Go for it. I'll tell you more in a second. Okay, now movie director is my subject. Here's my first thoughts and reactions and things. My next step is to do a couple of words associated with these ones. So famous. I might say star or Hollywood. All right. I'm action. I might say adventure. Or moving. They can't even spell moving or fight. Now you connect these with cut. I might do slice. I might do pieces.  Okay, so I finished my list here. And of course my wise son said, Hey, did Steven Spielberg actually direct stand by me dad? No, Rob Reiner. What are you going to do? It's on the board now. Okay, so now I'm going to take my reactions. I'm going to try to apply them again. Here is my formula. Right. So for example, my first one might be 185 movie directors go into a bar. The bartender says, we don't serve movie directors. 185 movie directors say, ah, cut it out. The director is going to a bar bartender says, we don't serve movie directors in this bar. 185 movie directors say, well, your place is getting zero stars. Bartender says, we don't serve movie directors in our bar. 185 movie directors say, and me and my friends will go somewhere else then. You kind of see it's cheesy. Like I said, I did warn you. But the idea, take this thought, this word and link it. What might be something you see, feel here in a bar? What might happen in a bar where you can connect these thoughts? You're taking these little words and just seeing where they inspire you. Again, just have fun with this, right? I mean, you're trying something new and I think people will really appreciate it that you're also reaching out to them.   I bet they will love it. Think of the people in your life that you want to connect with, what they're doing, maybe something they're into. If they really love animals, you know, 195 penguins go into a bar. Bartender says, we don't serve penguins in this bar. 105 penguins say, why is everything so black and white with you? Okay, so it's that kind of idea. You just want to reach out to someone and make that connection. Thanks for playing along. Thanks for just trying something new. Have fun with it. Keep laughing and be well.


Let's dive in one more time into the world of laughably expensive NES games. Here we have Cowboy Kid made by Pixel, a dev team that had a hand in a few other NES titles like World Champ, Fantasy Wars and Baseball Stars 2. However, those cartridges haven't adopted the moniker of collector status symbol the way cowboy Kid has, with that cartridge going for around $250 dollars loose and $500 dollars complete in the box. So what is this game and is it actually any good. Cowboy Kid is very similar in structure to the Ganbare Goemon games on Famicom. You probably know those better as The Legend of the Mystical Ninja series on Super Nintendo, and Cowboy Kid takes the same top-down viewpoint and adopts very similar beat-em-up and shooter mechanics with a few weapons to choose from, starting with this comically oversized knife, but you eventually get a handgun and a rifle, both with unlimited ammo. This game is also two-player co-op, which is nice, and also similar to the Goemon games is that you visit shops, talk to townsfolk, and pick up tips on where to go, what to do, and how to do it. The way the structure is set up here is that you have kind of an introductory stage that helps, uh, introduce the game and gives you a notion as to what to expect.  With that, you can open up treasure chests, which seemingly give you an unlimited amount of money you can collect, just leave the screen and come back, and they're full again. Okay, whatever. You eventually get to the last door, and you've been doing such a great job so far that you're immediately made sheriff. Well, that was easy. From there, you've got six different outlaws you can go after that have all settled in six different areas. Defeat those six, and you've got one last outlaw to capture. You collect money in these chests here, and buy items that can help you reach new areas, or just keep you from doing too much backtracking. In one instance in Slash Joe's area, you have to go down into this basement and find a key, and once you find it, you can use the ladder to warp out of there instead of going all the way back, so that's a nice touch. You don't have to buy these items, you can play as is, but they are helpful. Also at the stores, you can buy health replenishments, armor upgrades, and a map of each area, which is really helpful and kind of uncommon for games of its time, so I really appreciate that it's here. Just press start, and then the A button to see it. Just like the Goemon games, it doesn't even matter if you defeat any of the enemies on screen here, they just kind of hop along and get in your way. You also have the ability to bust open these barrels and find extra money, and these stars. Collect five of those, and they increase your hit points, but sometimes the barrels can give you something that can do damage, so you have to be careful. There's this town folk you run into that give you helpful hints, and there's also tons of minigames here to earn more money. There's a shooting range, a test of strength, and good old fashioned blackjack, just to name a few. You could sink a ton of time into these minigames alone. You pick up clues to the whereabouts of that level's particular outlaw. In the case of Slash Joe, he's trying to leave on a train, so you head to the train station, hop along cars seemingly forever, until you get a one-on-one showdown and defeat him. And in a nice twist, you actually get a time bonus here, so this could be a potential's fun speedrun game, if that's what you're into. The game goes on from there, collecting keys and other items through six more levels, with the gameplay occasionally switching to a traditional 2D side-scrolling viewpoint, tracking down that level's particular outlaw. No saves or passwords here, but you do at least get to keep all of your items if you get a game over. There are some flaws here I need to address, however. One is that the hit detection in this game is absolutely awful, especially in the top-down areas. Thankfully, this game is very forgiving when it comes to damage and health, but geez Louise, getting hit by all these randos is seemingly, well, random, especially when you have the knife to start with. It's really a downer. I will say combat does get to get better when you get the gun later on. Another flaw is that this game is crazy unbalanced, remember the stars I mentioned earlier? You can sit there and grind and knock open barrels, leave the area, come back and keep knocking open those same barrels until you've got your full allotment of health, right when you start the game. You can do the same thing with money as well, so, uh, yeah, if you're expecting a challenge, there's not much of one here, because that kind of stuff is so easily exploitable. I will say for what it's worth, some of the boss fights can be really tough regardless of how much money or how many upgrades you have. I also want to point out quickly the cover art here that North America received. What is this? The early 60s? Were they trying to appeal to the gun smoke and bonanza audiences? Because they were about 30 years too late. Meanwhile, the Japanese cover is filled with action and movement, with the villains lurking in the background. It's just yet another one of those cases where the Japanese artwork was much more interesting than what we got here. Anyway, yeah, Cowboy Kid has a lot going for it. It's a really fun romp through a wild west motif. The minigames are great, the music is fun, and the art style is like a cross between Goemon and River City Ransom. But like I said, the hit detection sucks, certain parts of the game can really drag, and money practically grows on trees, and that takes away a lot of the challenge here. This game could have been a lot better balanced. Either way, this is still a fun playthrough, so file this one away in the category of, play this one, anyway you can. And I want to thank you for watching, and I hope you have a great rest of your day.


What's up, Team 4-2? This is Mike Polo's health promotion and performance dietitian from the 42nd Medical Group. Now is not the time to follow a diet of restriction. And what I mean by that is basically a fad diet. Now is not the time to follow a fad diet. Instead, strive for a colorful plate. Choose foods that are high in vitamins and minerals, phytonutrients, and antioxidants. These foods will keep your immune system strong and healthy during these uncertain times. Remember, eat a colorful plate and get moving.


Propagating a potos is really easy. First, find a node. This is typically when two leaves are coming out of the stem. From the node, you generally have a root already coming out. Cut 1 cm below the node at an angle of 45 degrees. Add some cinnamon to prevent fungi and not to water, making sure that the leaves don't touch the water. Then just wait and you will have roots in no time.


Next question is from Grant Satterstwaite. Are kettlebells superior to dumbbells? Justin would think so. What? It depends. It depends what we're talking about, what exercise and the person. They're both excellent tools. They're both free weights. I would say dumbbells probably are a little bit more versatile. But here's the big difference between them. Kettlebell, the placement of the weight changes the feel of the exercise and it changes the length of the lever. So if I'm doing a kettlebell swing, the lever is longer, the weight is at the very end. Ballistic moves and power moves, I prefer kettlebell all day. Just because of the way it's set up with the load. But I mean, they're totally different approaches. And I think that there's crossover because obviously you can do shoulder presses, you can do rows, you can do a lot of similar things as the dumbbells. But they have their own unique characteristics. And I do love the way kettlebells feel, especially like in the rack position. And I could keep them pretty much in the center of my body, which feels like I have more control. But honestly, it takes a little bit more education and technique to be able to use the kettlebells properly. So I think that's a bit of a disadvantage for kettlebells, for your average person. There is sort of that learning curve that's a little more difficult. But once you get through that, you realize the capability of kettlebells, it's almost like open-ended. There's just so many different ways that you can apply that to movement and load your body through exercises. Well, I think you said it best at first, which is that kettlebells are superior for dynamic ballistic movement, so explosive type stuff, right? So your swings, your snatches, you do things like that with kettlebells and I think it's far more effective. Yeah, then doing it with dumbbells. But to Sal's point, dumbbells are probably more versatile for the average person just that's trying to exercise. So I don't know, I think both have their value. I think both belong in somewhat of your routine. I don't think you should avoid either one of them and I think they both should be included. We always get questions where it's like this or that, which is better. Both. Yeah, and when we talk about training, we encourage people to move in and out of all modalities and tools. Like that's the beauty of all these things is learning how to use all of them. And if you've never used kettlebells before, there's a tremendous amount of value to learn how to use them. Just the learning curve alone, you're going to get a lot of benefits just from learning how to use the kettlebells. And if you only use kettlebells, you're missing out on some things that you could be using the dumbbells for. So I think they both belong in people's programs. Yeah, one of the, I would say one of the advantages of the kettlebell is your ability to lengthen or shorten the lever. So what I mean by the lever is when I'm doing an exercise with my arms, that is a lever and a dumbbell places the weight on both sides of my hand. So the weight is at the end of that length of a lever. Now with a kettlebell, I can either put the kettlebell in front of my hand like I'm doing a swing, for example. Now the lever is longer. And if you know anything about levers, a longer lever creates more tension, more resistance. It creates more force. A shorter lever has less force, maybe more stability. So I can shorten the lever with a kettlebell too. When I do a kettlebell shoulder press, the kettlebell's sitting on my forearm. And so I've actually shortened the lever with a kettlebell press. Now that's superior for something like, if I were to compare like an Arnold press with a dumbbell, which is with a rotating dumbbell, that in my opinion is superior. It's superior to use a kettlebell for that. Yeah, that's way more clunky. It's yeah, the kettlebell is on my arm. It's a shortened lever. It feels more stable. The rotating feels a little bit better. So I would rather use a kettlebell for that. If I'm doing like a sumo squat with a client or myself, normally what I'd have to do with a dumbbell is turn it so that it's vertical, hold it by the bell. Way better to hold a kettlebell in that position. When I'm doing flies, if you want to have stability, dumbbells are better. If you want to change the lever so that maybe it creates a little more tension, try doing flies with kettlebells. Now when you're going down, the weight is behind your arm, creates a different tension pull. I think the key here is to know that they're both great. Use them both. You can do complete workouts with either one, but if you want the best results, you're gonna incorporate a little of each.


Hear me I want to thank the organizers. Oh, actually Ali are the other organizers here. Then let me only thank Ali Now I want to thank you for showing up on this slow lazy hot Monday afternoon Yeah, so I changed my title because half an hour is too short to prove anything But I can give you an example so the goal is just to give you an example and maybe I'll explain why it's new But when I explain when it why is it new? That's right. So I want to explain why it's new, but the danger is once I explain it you'll think it's not new but Because it's not But it still is okay No, it's true. It's true. Okay, so Why okay, let me talk about old examples, but first here's the setting three manifold to a three manifold Partially hyperbolic they feel and Maybe I'll just give a quick definition. So there's a f invariant splitting Oh, I'll give half of a definition that everybody gives There's three invariant sub bundles and then In my setting everything is nice. This is all the estimates are nice This is uniformly contracting this uniformly expanding and the center is uniformly in the middle It's all the nicest definition possible Okay, so I now have to tell you what the old examples are. So here's the old examples and By old I mean one-year-old So what are the old examples? One is just on us off on the three Taurus so you have One expanding Eigen Valley when contracting one and the third one is in the middle and any on us of example on T3 Is parts to have a ball like any an ass off like that Okay, then what's the second old example?  So nothing is happening And you can just look at the time one or time two time to pie map doesn't matter and you'll get an example so you have these three classes of examples and I guess maybe I should write down this matrix here because it wouldn't be a nice talk if I didn't write this matrix down So let me write the matrix down again Okay, so now it probably might be a nice talk Okay, so there these three examples and there was this classification you want to classify all types of examples and the classification was these three are the only type of examples so or Dynamically coherent, so I should write that down So I don't think this has been defined and maybe I should Define it. What is dynamically coherent for mine? It's EC is integrable, but then you get all the other bundles are integrable also and let me not say all because Some of them are impossible So EC Okay, so if you assume this Then there's some classification that says These are the only three types of examples and it's up to our the only examples up to Something called leaf conjugacy Okay, so what is leaf conjugacy? So I have to tell you what leaf conjugacy is. Okay, so I've a draw this I Have a manifold and a map F Sorry I'm too strong for this chalk and and I rather map G What is the leaf conjugacy as a map H and then now this is not I Have to draw H. Let me draw H in a way. Let me draw this So this map looks like this So there it's not the diagram does not commute and hopefully I drew it in a way to show you it commutes up to a Straight line. So what does this mean? This means if I first do F and Then I do H There's another way to do it. I can first do H and then do G These two guys on the same center leaf So the diagram doesn't commute you might be off, but you're off by on the same center leaf The center is one-dimensional in this game So it says, you know, these are the only examples and these are very simple examples I should say simple we have no idea what this is. This is like a black box But that's still we can assume if this is simple then they're all simple examples Okay, so the object of this talk is There there's some other examples and that's what I'll talk about. So there are some other examples But before I talk about building the other examples, I have to go to older examples so these were Old examples and now older examples So what are the even older examples? So 1976 Franks and Robinson gave an example of a quasi-anosov, which I probably won't define on T3 Connect some T3 so what's quasi-anosov? It's maybe I'll define it quickly. I won't write it down It's a vector in the tangent bundle is either expanding in forward time or backward time and They do some surgery and they build this example then 1979 Is Frank's Williams example Of a non-transitive anosov flow. I will talk about that example in detail But I will not do the other one because they're the same Okay, because same type of Construction two steps to surgery That's the easy step And the second step is to check that you've done the surgery and then things don't work check if It is still Anosov All parts to have a balling or whatever. So this is the hard part. The easy part is to take something and glue something else Okay Okay, so let's see my learning. No, I'm fine on time. So the hard part is not that hard because Right around the 1970s. I don't know. I'm not a good historian There was a mania's thesis. He was just graduating so That was that was very useful and then you could just plug in money as thesis and Check that their examples were actual real examples. So let me talk about money as thesis and now it's probably old Everybody knows How to do this Okay so if a psi t is An anosov flow and you have to check two things psi t has a chain recurrence set The on the chain recurrence that You what do you have to check? You have to check that The stable center stable of an orbit trans is transverse To center unstable of an orbit gamma is Gamma is an orbit so you have a check transversality And you have to check that they're the same dimension three Center stable Has constant dimension. So this was a black box and I'll go through this Construction and I'll probably just say by mania's theorem Everything is okay And these guys have to be transverse because the bundles are transverse Okay, so now let me start Talking about the example and now you can you can interrupt me. I don't know how complicated things will get but so now this this is the best part of the talk for me because I'm going to stop writing because I cannot write And I don't think in words, but I'll draw a lot of pictures. So this is the best part of the talk for me I probably want to stop writing any words down Let's see if I can pull that off Maybe I still have to write some words down. Okay, so this is what you do And this is the same thing for the quasi-announce of map. What you do is you This is all t2 is gonna be t2 And then you flow up This is a I'm gonna first construct a map on t2 cross an interval So this is unit speed flow I'm gonna flow till I reach the top and then I'm gonna glue by a map and the map I'm gonna glue by is the DA map and then I'm gonna build like a flow on that object Now that this is a closed three manifold and what is it gonna look like?  So you'll get this kind of You'll get a standard foliation, but then you'll open it up or unzipping. It's called unzipping some some time So this is a source So you just blow it up But the way you can do this is you can keep one foliation unchanged So I think I'll use red to draw stable. So This is a stable foliation So the red is stable And The white is unstable. So this is the first talk with color chalk. That's good.  Okay, okay, and then so this is step one Now this looks horrible. This is not even close to being an awesome flow, but you're not done yet And what happens here is this guy's an attractor So this is a source this white stuff is an attractor and the white is crossed like an interval here Which I don't know how many pictures to draw. So maybe I'll draw these pictures The stables are vertical. I'll draw a few of them. The stables are vertical and that's going to be important Okay, so now this looks horrible. What are you gonna do with it? Well, I'm gonna drill out a torus in the middle So let me tell you what the torus looks like Okay, so if I'm gonna glue from here to here this guy's a source So it's gonna expand a piece over here. Now, let's see. Where am I gonna draw that piece right here? Probably so I don't want to crowd a picture, but there'll be a torus here, which I'll draw right here Torus looks like this and it's and it's important. It's got that shape Okay, so that's a torus because This piece is identified with the one on the bottom and it gets bigger because of source So you can draw a transverse torus that way and I said transverse. What is it transverse to? Well, these straight guys is transverse to So the straight guys here They all hit it transversely and the transverse curves look like this and I'll draw a more detailed picture of that and Why am I doing this because I hope I didn't erase this you have to check some transversality You have to apply money at some point or you don't have an awesome flow Okay, 15 minutes left perfect timing think I'm halfway done here Okay, and I'll also draw What the foliation looks like on this torus? So because you probably have seen this foliation before. What does the foliation look like here? Let me try to draw it. So this is the undrulled torus and what does this foliation look like? It looks like these rape components as you can see. I want to make sure it's And this matches I've drawn a few pieces here And there's one which is completely transverse with corresponds to this and in fact It's to this one in the back. So this is the other one Okay, so step one now there this looks horrible you've built out a torus you have Something messed up going on. How do you solve this problem? Well? You might as well double down if you're losing a muscle double down and that's what happens You look at it's evil twin here. What's his evil twin is you do? Oh, you look at the mirror image. Why is it evil because it's a mirror image.  So what does that mean? So I look at the inverse of this map I do the inverse of this construction. So maybe I should draw some pictures here Let's see. Let's start this way and what's it's gonna look like so Now I have pictures like that And this is a sink There being a source and it's along the stable Wait, I should yeah, that was the wrong color, right? It was the wrong color. That's red And the white is straight here now. I should draw some straight pieces And then you have a corresponding torus here, which looks like this now it looks Fatter that way another way and then You have these pieces and you get another rape for lesion Which is now drawn in white but if this was If the here, this is Santa stable. This was Santa stable This guy is center unstable. I think Okay, and now how do you check money is you've drilled out a torus in the middle here Fill out towards the middle here and you're gonna glue them And if everything is transverse by money, you're done. That's all you have to check is transversality And you have an anosso flow and why is it non-transitive because you have an attractor and a repeller right here Okay, so how do you glue this piece to that piece? Here's another picture. This is a talk full of pictures How do you do that? Okay, so I will not change the white because I have it here now. Let me draw the red right over it Hoping everything is transverse and I will not crowd the pitch area. You can see everything you can make it transverse That's it. So you said to glue things So what did you do? You started with the suspension you took out a torus made sure some fullation was transferred to the torus Did the the opposite the mirror image and you glued them together and one was sent a stable one Was sent unstable and because you can glue them transverse. So you have an example Okay, so old example of an anosso flow non-transitive because you have an attractor and a repeller Okay, so what do we do now? So this is why this example is maybe not new. What's the new example? Okay, so there's a transition in the middle going from good to bad a good to evil actually going from evil to good So I drew the picture correctly. Usually I just the evil one is the one you draw second on the right-hand side That's that's the definition. I'm not making this up when following the definition. Okay So what is what is happening here now in the middle in the middle? You have a passage So this one's the attractor you have a passage from So there's a torus here, which I'll draw this way and you can imagine this fullation on it This is fullation and there's a torus right here and you have this fullation on it Okay, and then the flow up thing. I'm way. I'm drawing it is flowing this way It's flowing this way and of course. This is t2 times an interval here an interval here so there's a piece and Fullyations are very nice here that means and let me tell you how nice they are if I translate up like this I still maintain the same fullation or I translate down and if I go move up and down here I get the same fullation and the middle I have horizontal lines moving from evil to good. That's good So what do I do here? I I look at a time one map and I compose by a twist So this is a new example now so it's a very simple idea and Of course the hard part is I have to check I get something which is Parts to have a ball like that's the first thing and then I have to tell you it's something new and Then Otherwise it's not gonna happen.  I don't do anything Here I translate by one And here I'm translating by zero and then slowly here. I have bigger and Bigger and bigger translation is still I'm translating by one So what maybe you haven't seen a dain twist in dimension three So I'll turn on the picture about dain twist in dimension two is what a dain twist is I have an annulus I keep this fixed and This is rotation by 2 pi So it looks fixed in the neighborhood over here, and I just keep rotating by More and more angle until I reach the end and I'm rotating by 2 pi Okay, so this one in the surface. It's easy to check that Often is easy to check If I do a dain twist here, I get something a non-trivial non-trivial in the mapping class Which means it's not isotopic to your old map So here if I want a new example, I have to check I get something new And then you have to check and there's a theorem that helps you it says if the two pieces I'm gluing Hyperbolic then the middle all dain twists and on trivia. So I have to check I get a new example So that and that's one thing Okay, what else I have to check I told you I don't want to write anything else down What else I have to check I have to check that I have some transversality Conditions, okay, so let me just give you a very simplistic proof, but I'm not giving proof I'll give you some reasonable argument, but you may or may not believe but okay, so what I look at it I look at the center stable here, and what am I doing? I'm composing by dain twist afterwards, right? So what happens? This is a fundamental domain the center stable domain the center stable moves off into the attractor and the Good guy, and then I compose the map so it remains the same here. I'm not doing anything to send a stable So that's unchanged here And now the set on stable I will change But we argue we don't change so much. So it's still transverse So you get something you check some bundles are transverse and then So and then you have an attractor repellent and we prove its parts to have a ball Okay Five minutes. Let me tell you why it's dynamically coherent. It's also easy Okay, dynamical coherence Which means you can integrate stuff? Okay, so we prove this very easy fact Let V be in the center And I iterate it So why is this easy? because I have an attractor here So every point no matter where you start is going to come into the attractor, right? And here I have some uniform estimates and here you're not growing you're not shrinking and In the backward iterate I Come to the evil guy And again, I have some uniform estimates. I only spent finite time outside some neighborhoods So and there I've uniformed estimates like a not so flow there.  They unique. Also. This condition is open See one open you make a small perturbation you get the same Condition because we are tractor doesn't get destroyed repeller doesn't get destroyed Dfn for all-in Yes, because Small perturbation will not kill the attractor repeller So the C1 open so what that means is this is stably dynamically coherent That's what that means. So the example and also it's not it's a new example because it's not homotopic to any anasa flow You have a question. Okay, so there this is not the only new example. There are other new examples You can you can have two sources and you can drill two holes and do stuff you can have five million holes and start gluing them together there's not the other examples by other other people that do this construction and It's still transitive afterwards And then there's other constructions that say why do one day and twist start composing day and twists? So they all the other examples, but if you want to see one you want to see Franks Williams Oh, you want to see Franks Robinson and you see Franks Williams, then you see this and there's a straight line from there It's a straight line from 1976, but today is 2016. So it took too long but I'm happy to be part of it and This conference also. Let me stop here. Thank you


Hi! Welcome to Good News Network! While some people might be lining up on Black Friday to jump on the latest holiday bargains, these people are lining up outside of a unique pop-up store so they can buy holiday gifts for refugees. Shoe's Love is a shop that is stopped with important items and resources that customers can buy for refugees in need. Or, as the store puts it, customers can shop your heart out, leave with nothing, and feel the love. The shop is stocked with everything from emergency blankets, tents, warm clothing, and hygienic supplies to educational materials and keys to a home. All the items purchased at the Shoe's Love pop-ups are then distributed across Europe and the Middle East. According to Help Refugees, the non-profit behind the initiative, their charitable efforts in 2017 collectively raised the equivalent of $962,000, that's 750,000 pounds. The charity was so successful with its location in London last year, it also opened up a secondary location in New York City for 2018. Additionally, the shops will now be stocked with sleeping bags and supplies that can be purchased for homeless groups in the UK and the US. Christmas is a time of giving and abundance, but it makes you think about people who aren't as lucky as we are. Josie Nauden, the chief executive of Help Refugees, told The Guardian, �When you look at the stats of how much money is spent on Black Friday and compare that to the need in the world, it's quite shocking. We just really wanted to show there was another way to look at consumerism and another way to look at Black Friday.


So in the last video we identified that one of the big things that we're looking to do is find these terminal states that sort of end our game in an adversarial search and specifically what we can do is assign these states a Value this first one. We're looking at. Oh, well if my player my agent was playing as the X in tic-tac-toe You know, it could see that this is a terminal state and it's a bad one Again our node Instead of it being max, that's a terrible color for it right there Instead of thinking about it as max X loses X draws X Wins So again, we can assign some type of value to these individual states This is a bad one. You can see the next one. It's not as bad You know, we I used to call this a cat When I was a child It's an okay move, you know, it's not the best one But it's better than bad and then we can see oh well if I'm at a state where X is Winning that's a good move and specifically you can see we can assign some type of value to those given states Bad moves could be a negative value Draws could be some zero and then positive or wins and goods can be positive Now one thing to kind of just throw out there. They don't have to be That it's not set in stone. There may not be a draw or you know draws are just a little hard to get You know, this could still be a three. This could be a five and this could be a 10 Right those values can change and it depends on your game or just how you're sort of building out your evaluations of Or your utility functions for your minimax search. I I just gave you a little hint there Essentially what we're doing is something called a minimax search which in itself is really just a depth first search I'm thinking about sort of my move and Then what state happens from that and then I want to Plan out sort of there. We are I want to plan out their move because I'm looking at this in the sense again This is an adversary. They have my worst intentions in mind. They want me to lose So this is me planning out their potential moves from Different outcomes, right? their Move or men's move When I think about what they may be doing they probably want to pick a move that's much worse than One that's gonna make me win. And so the idea here is that when we get to sort of leaf nodes, you know Hey, they can be happening anywhere in the search. That's one of the reasons we're kind of making depth first Approaches, but what we need to do is we need to get those values at those terminal states back up To the root node because that's gonna allow me to decide whether or not I take this move or some other move That might also be a you know, that might be the better move So how do we do this? Well the way I like to think about it is to start building out that recursive function And it's gonna be hideous, but you can think about this first condition as sort of our base case Right. I'm at some terminal node I have reached sort of a state where let me just draw one of these out So I have reached a state where I've won max is one Well, again, what's the utility at this given state? And I use the example that oh in this state. It's a plus one Well, awesome because what I would be doing in a recursive sort of cases I would return That value But as you can see one of the things that we also have is sort of our recursive cases We need to alternate between act earth, you know thinking about what men would do what what we what our move Would be and what their move Would be back and forth and that's sort of the thing you might notice about this notion of highest and lowest value Specifically again what we're looking at to kind of throw a little bit more of the pseudocode into this is We're essentially doing some big old function mini max on some state S and you can see again We're just dealing with if that base case. We're at a terminal state awesome return the value but notice again, we're dealing with sort of these ideas of when this is at a Max node or a min node. We're not at a terminal state Notice again, I'm thinking about it in that sense that oh, I need to make a recursive call I need to look at what the actions are What all the possible actions are for a given state? What's the result going to be and based on those again this notion of I want to select the largest of them Well, sorry, I want to select the largest of them. That's again only for our Move when we're at men we're at a men node That's a their move and they want to think about the smallest possible outcomes And that's just what the next slides are gonna say is again You know when the state is controlled by max max wants to pick the maximum value when the state is controlled by men They want to pick the minimum value But more to my point is to take this and you know I hate doing these types of those, you know one-liners of code just because it's still a little too confusing Let's start to expand it out a little bit and I immediately show you a one line of code but work with me here again This is sort of just sort of the the big, you know mini max search. It starts the entire process of again starting with max and Then specifically you notice that we start jumping back and forth between men in max values because I'm thinking again as max of The outcomes of two possible states in this case that were occurring occurring from men's Decision and so again, I'm jumping down to the men value function Same thing if that was a terminal state, right? It's not really now men's turn. It's that the game is over So return out the value The utility at that given state but one thing you might might notice is that there is some positive infinity going on here because as I start to look at these potential moves, right a Positive infinity is I want to find something smaller than that I want to find a state that is smaller than that and if I found something that was a one. Well, guess what? V is now negative one because I found a number that was lower technically speaking Good moves or moves that end up winning max the game at least are part of that consideration again It's because as I iterate through all the possible outcomes, right? Negative or sorry positive infinity. Well, that's still quite large That's it max a min is thinking that max is gonna win so I'm trying to pick smaller values to ensure that that may not happen and so In this case, well one is smaller One is smaller than positive infinity So that's what happens then when we get into that situation of something like one versus negative one Well, we see that one is bigger and so that negative one would prevail but notice again, we're still doing that same iteration going through all the possible actions and Then we're doing a recursive call. We're jumping now To a max note. We're going to take this notion of well What are the actions at my move men's move and then well? I got to now make the plans for max's move Just to draw them out as haphazardly as I can and then the same song and dance is going on max does the same thing It's going with men's instead of a positive It works off of a negative infinity instead of it going for the smallest number It's going for the larger numbers and instead of calling for max value. It jumps to min value because that same Thing is going on as we keep on traversing deeper and deeper down our tree Assuming this is men's turn And so just to kind of visualize that a little prettier you can see again We're looking at it from max's perspective of a negative infinity and better moves Are going to be larger than negative infinity. So we want to take those and versus on the men's side We're working off of a positive infinity and we want to pick moves that are making that number that that Possible max will always win move Smaller along the way and we're just alternating between the two of these until we reach these terminal states So the way you can think about this is in essence what the mini max is doing is thinking about Let me just pick out the worst possible case scenarios for max So I like to sort of present this Initial example to the students and we're not at alpha beta pruning quite yet We're going to have to do an exhaustive search That's sort of a hint a little bit later But you can see one of the things that I have done is I sort of added these little triangles here to indicate whose turn It is at a max turn You know, I want the larger of the two so the numbers pointing upward But again, I think about that as some action occurred that max did that leads to men's turn and notice that the triangles are going pointing downward now to kind of Give that mnemonic. Oh, hey, I want to pick the smaller of the two. Well men has some action and then it's max's turn and Then max makes their turn now in our case we you know if we following the pseudo code Oh, we're at a terminal state. So that terminal state is going to get passed up to because two is better Than negative infinity But again, we're just traversing through all the moves and that's why I put it sort of at this little corner here Because I go down and I see another terminal state that terminal state return returns its utility and we see that that too Is much smaller than a nine And so that nine happens Then that same thing we're again doing recursion since I've traversed all possible moves that max could have made Now I'm returning the value that this would sort of result in and we're dealing with men Now again men is looking at it from this positive infinity perspective and guess what? Nine is better than positive infinity. So it's considering it But that's not all we have to then traverse Downward and you can see what we're gonna end up with Especially in this case again, we're at a max node. So we pick the seven I'm gonna draw it larger because you can already see that as we move through this that four is not better than seven We take that and we move it upward. Oh, well men sees that seven seven's much lower Than nine and so that nine is no longer a possible move men would pick the seven between the two of them And as you can imagine it gets passed up there as well I'll leave it there for now But one of the things that sort of I cheat with with our exhaustive mini max Traditional searches again since I know that these are gonna be max nodes max will always pick the the larger of its two So nine and then five men is gonna look at the two of these Pick the smaller of the two and then again, we're at a max node. So Here. Oh, well max between seven and five just to get rid of that Max would clearly pick the move that would lead to this seven value and so We can see that this is the if everyone played optimally This would be the pathway that we would end up taking and this is just some Confirmation of what we see going on here. So again max's turns are looking for the bigger numbers This is me just noting that you may end up in situations like this Specifically, this is if you're working off of some type of iterative deepening search Because there are too many possible moves if you're thinking beyond tic-tac-toe into things like chests or checkers or I'm trying to think of another one Connect for Right, you may want to stop at some point and do evaluations at non-terminal nodes. That's you know, your own little fruition but again as we work through this we can see again the nine and the seven are being picked by max and those Potentials same thing seven and five are being picked by men in their sort of respective spots and then max would pick the seven resulting in This pathway along that way So one of the things I'll say is go ahead pause the video for a second and you know Try and work through this first thing Now that you're back if you hopefully pause again if I'm working through this one of the things that I'm typically doing with my students is For this version we'll talk about limitations in a second and get into alpha beta pruning in the next video again, I like to tell my students start by Establishing whose turn it is along the way Again for at least my sake I always want to make the assumption that max is going first again The notion is this is an hour move versus their move We only want to make decisions on our turn. So our turn is always focusing on maximizing our effects Even if you're trying to get the smaller of the value, you know, that's where you got to do funky math and instead This becomes one-fifth versus one-sixth But I'm digressing so let me So again, this is max's turn. This is men's turn. This is max's turn. All right Well, again, not a terrible problem. We're just looking at the larger of the two of these So this would become six the larger the two of these would become seven and since we're dealing with I'll just keep on doing the max's for right now Largest of this one would be eight largest of this one would be seven now We move up to the men's level so the smaller of those two would result in a six the smaller of these two Would result in the seven and then when we get to max we're again looking at the larger of those two seven so This is where I'll leave you is obviously I've said it a few times and in the next video again We'll take an exploration on how we can resolve this But one of the problems is it is Exhaustive and because it is all is exhaustive it can get Exponentially harder as the game progresses when we're dealing with something like tic-tac-toe, right? There's only possibly nine moves that could be had here So it's actually relatively small, but when we're dealing with something like a full-on Chestboard and I'm not going to attempt to draw a full-on chessboard But just to give you sort of the the notion here, right? look at all the possible grids that can be going on here and Do I move this piece or this piece or this piece or this piece or this piece or this piece or this piece or this piece or this piece or this piece or this piece or this piece or this piece or Then you get my point again Here's where you know, it's super hard and sure it's still going to find you the solution, right? But the big issue is it's going to take potentially ten years or a hundred years or a millennia To find out your win actually not even your win whether or not you do literally That move first So again, this is a limitation to at least the initial mini max approach And so how do you sort of evaluate this or one approach is that you can do iterative deepening searches? So I only allow for a depth limit of Planning ahead, I don't know for moves for you know, that's not great or bad either It's just I'm only going to plan for moves ahead then instead of thinking about terminal states I have to make evaluations on non-terminal states. How good does this state? You know present me in how good is this and you know, you have to kind of do some funky evaluations for that but Have fun with that and now finally what we'll talk about in the next video. Oh, what if we use some magical? trick called pruning to eliminate parts of the tree because that would help us sort of reduce this Exponential exhaustive search so in the next video, we'll talk about alpha beta mini max pruning


The following is a presentation of TFNN, the power trading hour with your host David White. Call now toll free at 1-877-927-6648 or internationally at<PHONE_NUMBER>. Now David White. And welcome all to another excellent edition of the power trading hour. And it doesn't matter where you're at as long as we're here at this time. The following takes place between 2 p.m. and 3 p.m.  Russell's off about 1.5, 1.6% crude oils down a buck. Let's move that over there so I can see some stuff. We looked at the gold, it's down 7.5 bucks, so we're off 38 cents. 10-year bond has down 2.7 cents. So we'll look at the TLT because that's what I like. Anyway, it's just up slowly but on a Thursday, this thing should be rocking the CASBA as cash naturally comes in. From the Fed on these days and that it's just treading water, probably not a good sign for the rest of the markets. But we continue to watch closely, see what happens here. But hey, it's going to be one of those days. I do think that the market is going to find a trend. That trend is not going to run or gallop but probably walk between now and Christmas. But we shall see. Anyway, looking at things like, I wanted to look at the dollar here. Hang on a second. Oh, that's a 4x. Come on. Okay. 96.22 on the dollar index. The basket of the sixth biggest Western democracies. And that's kind of it. I did want to get a look at the volume today. So let's do that and see how we caught up. Again, volume has been kind of tapering off as we get back up there. This is what? The third time, eighth time, hard to tell. But we've been up to highs and volume has not really been enough to blow through the highs at least in my opinion. When we talked yesterday, some of it was the questionable movement in a lot of the ETFs, especially when we looked in the context of the American stock exchange where most of these ETFs reside, at least the older ones that have more volume. You're down a little bit. You could actually have more volume by the end of the day than you had yesterday. We did try to go and run a little higher than yesterday in the queues, gave that all up and more. When we look at some of the others that actually should be doing well, you got a little bit of dark cloud cover. You don't have the volume quite yet in AMD. But this is why generally the folks that do Wycoff style trading, I heard it from Tim Ord very early, but I heard it from others too. And that is a low is not a low. So it's been retested on lighter volume. 66, 67 million shares on advanced micro at 134.20. Could we get there? Well, we're closing under 140. There is a look for whatever reason to do some sector rotation. The company's not a real problem. The question is whether or not you get China to get froggy, get some other things going on, maybe some world events. Maybe a lot of people are willing to ring the register after this thing came up off of two bucks.<PHONE_NUMBER>. You can email me at path at tfnn.com and I think someone has done that. Everybody looks like they're running to the Apple chain locker at the bow of the ship. Well, you're mixing your metaphors because everybody ran to the stern of the Titanic when it was going down. And of course it's my job to mix metaphors here. What are we, about seven, eight days away from the TFNN awards party. I guess it's going to be once again held out at the, and what is it, the sand pebble out there on the beach. Another wonderful, I'll be able to pick up three or four of my awards that I get every year for the show. Of course, mixed metaphors is always the one I look up to the most along with the digression award. Anyway, Apple at the bow of the ship. Well, I'm thinking everybody's gone to the stern of the ship, more Titanic-esque. And, well, we can see. I'm going to take a quick look at Apple. Not as much volume you had. It's kind of interesting that they had some fairly bad news and still rallied. But yeah, if you want to keep up the S&P while you're selling everything else, if you want to make the market look good, all you got to do is buy a few more shares of Apple. It's about 90% owned by the street. So it's not like these guys can do a whole lot like sell it. There's always one stock like that that they just keep piling on. And everybody wonders when the first person to think that it's time to leave the Cinderella ball is. But of course, as Warren Buffett said, everybody's at the Cinderella ball thinking they're all going to leave at midnight. But guess what? They're in a room with a clock with no hands. And that's always the way it is. You never know when those things are going to happen. But tons of bad news for Apple doesn't seem to bother it much of any bit. But that's kind of like a lot of the companies out here. The old saying used to be in the 70s and 80s was no one ever fired you for buying more IBM. And certainly that is the way of Apple. Coming back on Nvidia, the big leaders in the SMHs, that low at 280, you certainly need to get back into that candle. You had 66 million shares. You're down on 28 million today. So again, I'm not expecting to give it up, but I am expecting kind of a reversal in the S&P equitable with what we've seen in the NASDAQ and the Russell. I suspect that you're just holding that one up for a lot of the stocks that they're in. But eventually the bow will break. The cradle will fall. And again, I'm in to some more mixed metaphors. And digression. I'm piling on here, just getting close to the awards ceremony. Other things going on in the market. Question about the TLT from Nancy. Oh, I missed one on AMD. I need to get back to this question on a double repo on advanced micro. You'd want to go back above for a day or so and then close. But this kind of just fooling with that level is probably not enough. What you need is real good up to us. Much in a day or two. Not yet.

That's a negative one. Three. I can't even remember my CB talk anymore. Big something, I did. Well, who knows. Anyway, yesterday, we had, let me see, I deleted it. We had, I thought it was Zach from that ring, maybe right, maybe wrong. I asked about restoration hardware. I didn't think much about it because going into earnings more of a gamble than a prudent speculation got to 658.51, so a nice spike higher, back down in giving about half of that back at 618.68 for the last tick. But caught a few people napping out there, maybe some shorts, but it's a tough day to belong anything. Just imagine what some of these stocks would look like if they did report poorly. But I do digress. I'm adding on today. Some more questions about 3D printers from my rant yesterday, SSYS, and it coming back. I just would like to see it, I think this is from Ron, come back and retest this little doji at 2338. That's December 6th, a day before the day that will live in infamy. But now I think you need to get back and retest it. Again, if you missed my rant yesterday about some of the cool stuff happening in the sector, the downside right now is that they are, I'd say 95% reliant on the supply chain through China for a lot of the motors that move stuff. So do keep an eye on that. Okay,<PHONE_NUMBER>. I'm looking for your phone call today as this S&P's kind of stuck. Last 30 minutes will probably be the tail of the tape. Erin calls in, calls in emails in about, what is it, Microsoft? He's got three days going sideways here. He gapped up and that's about it. I don't see anything real changey here on that. What can you say? We do have earnings coming up and I did want to get into that. So let's get into it. And this is tomorrow morning, by the way, not really anything happening tonight that I think can move the markets. Excuse me, after the bell, excuse me tonight. I am confused. I hope I didn't confuse you too badly. After the bell tonight, excuse me, I was looking at that as before tomorrow, is Chewys. They report at four o'clock tonight. These have broken down. Very interesting to see this stock not doing well. I see their boxes on the front porch everywhere around the areas that people are ordering stuff from. I'm not exactly sure what the problem is with these folks, but they are down before earnings. I think a lot of people didn't go to the store to buy dog food during the lockdown. Maybe that's waning, but certainly it seems like a company where a lot of people are still buying their stuff from. I don't know exactly what. Maybe someone's inventory problems.  Going into earnings, not really doing a whole lot here. 413.06 is the December 6th low, a day before the day that lives in infamy. Today got to 420.24 so far, 1.3 million shares compared to 1.4. Not looking good or not an encouraging sign into earnings, but I don't put a great deal into that. Also tonight, we've got Costco and kind of a big dark cloud cover for the two previous days. You've got a doji today on about half the volume so far. I don't think you could make a lot out of it. This thing doesn't tend to surprise. Of course, all these stocks that don't surprise are always that way until they do surprise. I don't see anything in it, but I don't see any reason to play it either. Oracle, we've talked about this one for a long time. I continue to wonder who they're selling stuff to. I'm sure they are, but this is kind of like Roku where it's just I don't understand and it's not like I'm shorting the thing. It's just literally I don't understand. Of course, Roku, I finally understood one day when everybody said it, but it does seem ludicrous to me. Of course, they had a nice deal yesterday with YouTube and Google about getting cut off from being on the site. The article, I mean the argument, which is probably going to haunt the folks at Google and YouTube in court for the next five to 10 years is some action that really smacks of antitrust and that was that they weren't going to let Roku go through if they continued to collect data. Of course, not a whole lot of reason for Roku to have channels if they can't monetize it at least in some way, but apparently they made a deal. Who knows what that deal is yet? I would not have been able to find out. That's why they gapped higher on volume yesterday, given back about half that pop higher today, but again, not a lot of volume. Wayne goes, thoughts on Tesla? Let's move down to 59. There is a lot of talk and I don't know how much fruit it will bear. There's another metaphor. How well I mix it as apple sauce. Anyway, Tesla back lower. What am I thinking here? The talk is that there's a bunch of lawsuits and a lot of people have already settled about the solar city acquisition and that why Tesla certainly has the cash now. They may have had a lot of and we all thought it at the time it couldn't prove anything. They may have done a lot of naughty business out there to make everything work out. The solar tiles from solar city that they bought. Apparently burned a lot of houses down. There's some other stuff, but there was a bunch of stuff in that thing that just never made sense, but apparently those lawsuits are now bubbling up after all these years.

I don't think anybody wants to talk about Windows 2.0 coming out this day in 1987. It was unusable then. It's unusable now. That's all our history repeating. Anyway, other things going on in the market. As I said, volume not exciting yet. I do think from looking at the options yesterday, as I said, they didn't look good. Just kind of interesting that they are holding up this market with the S&P's, but the rest have already broken, except the Dow. But that's 30 stocks, and that's 96% institutionally owned. You can only buy 4% of all the outstanding shares in a Dow stock. Did you know that? That is probably the most useless index ever created. It's literally a cartel owning all of it, setting the prices for most of those stocks. But I do digress. Polar on Tesla. He's expected to climb his underway to close that 9.5910 gap, and decisively under that, the 900i. There's a lot of stuff that looks to me like, especially at SpaceX, where he's maybe getting a lot of the cash coming out of Tesla to put it in SpaceX. There was a pretty good article out a couple of days ago about how he did that with Solar City, and that he's probably going to try the same thing. But the cost of the downlinks, the home satellite dishes for his Starlink system is costing him twice what he's selling them for. They buy them for 500 bucks. There is an article out there that says that at some point, they think that the things cost him 1,000 bucks. And at whatever the subscription rate is, 100 bucks a month or whatever, for the early adopters. There's no way that he can put his first goal is 4,500 satellites in orbit, but he wants to put 45,000 satellites in orbit. And each one of those with a defect rate of about 3% comes out to 250,000 pence. Anyway, someone sat there with a spreadsheet down the math and figured out that they're probably in a good way unless he raids the piggy bank of Tesla with bonds to fund the expansion of SpaceX. So just keep an eye on this. Tesla did go down fairly significantly. I think the people on the street knew back when some of that stuff was happening. He got lucky and got into China and sold some cars, although I don't think he makes near the money that he says he does. I think that the reality is going to be margins much lower, especially over the next year now that Ford's F-150 is out, a few other cars out, some alternatives to buying a Tesla. You're actually talking about the Kia kind of coming along now, the version 2.0 of that as an electric car at half the price of a Tesla. Even Tesla's, you can't buy the cheap model. It's kind of one of those things where they've made it in there, but there's no money in it for him and he needs money. So you can't buy a cheap $50,000, $60,000 Tesla, but you can buy a $40,000 Kia. It may not have the range and all the good karma that Tesla has, but certainly I think they work okay. Could Starlink go IPO? Well, Starlink owned by, of course, by SpaceX. I think SpaceX would be more likely to IPO, but at this point can they show their books? I think that's what a lot of people are saying is that SpaceX probably would have gone public this year if they could show their books. So if you're talking $250,000 per satellite, 4,500 satellites, losing 500 bucks or more on every downlink system, when you go IPO, you kind of have to push that stuff off. So there's been a reason that everybody's used these SPACs and that is that you can hide all this stuff and no one gets to answer any questions or ask any questions. So yeah, I think that there's some problems out there in the wood pile. Another mixed metaphor. I'm racing to the finish this year again.<PHONE_NUMBER>. Yeah, I think Tesla's got problems. The question is whether or not the holders of the shares continue to just look the other way. Whistle past the graveyard. Throw some salt over the shoulder. I'm on a roll today. Okay, so we got that. 2, 2, 2. You don't get to digress, John. That is my job. That's why they pay me the big bucks. Okay, other things going on out here. Looked at everything. Oh, question about workday. I said when this company came out, I liked the management in this and it's not like I like management in many companies or even talk about it. I think the only guy I've probably talked nice about has been the CEO of Microsoft. He's been a breath of fresh air to that company. Generally, the CEOs just, they can be a real drag, but generally they don't do a lot. These guys, of course, are the old PeopleSoft folks and they've done well. Again, one of the things that has driven this was, of course, IPO, I mean, Fauci virus lockdowns. So, yeah, no volume, another push higher today. I'm thinking a lot of these do have a lot of room to pull back. I don't think I'd want to be long this thing today. I'd have to see a retest of that 258.22, so there's not much going on that. Question looking at DDD. Where is support on this? Again, I think we talked about that yesterday. Can't remember. You're pretty much at it, which is the only, well, let me put it that way. You went down close to it, $20.47 from this gap higher with 15 million shares. That's back on May 12th. You got into it. Like I said, pretty good support. 60 million shares, May 11th. You had two million shares on December 6th. You've already rallied. I like this thing to come back down to like 2150 or something, maybe at the beginning of the year, but actually pretty strong other than the fact this thing sold off hard, which makes me think kind of decidedly for the long, but a nice test for the low.

A question from Robert about the Boeing company, Boeing or I'm Not Going. Light volume today. The news has not been kind to Boeing down to 188. We're seeing some pretty astronomically good news about the latest version variant of the Fauci virus. And I don't know what you can say about that. The bad news from Boeing or for Boeing is that I think they gave away another year or two years away to SpaceX because they don't have their capsule ready. So I know that SpaceX got another big contract for that. So they continue to have problems executing, getting stuff out the door. But I think supply problems, that stuff, that sourts itself out. And the stock market probably looking past some of the short-term stuff on it. But I think the market's figured that this thing's worth about 200 bucks, maybe a little bit more on a bad day. And as long as things continue to get better, and actually there is some fairly good news on that front, don't want to get kicked off YouTube, though. So you know what? I think it's, you know, if you're long this thing at around 200 bucks, you can hold it. But I think you probably have another couple of months of consolidation in a lot of these stocks. And of course, this thing's open back. Probably good for Boeing. Probably more tough for the market is if the Fed is truly telling the truth and Mr. Powell, he's going to start ratcheting up interest rates. That's probably good for Boeing, but probably a negative for the market. And this thing trades with the market a whole lot. So you kind of have to look at it as a watch. Like I said, I think probably holds up better than some, but if we're headed lower, and I think we are through the 17th, continues to be a problematic issue. Down 18 on the S&P cash, up 51 on the Nasdaq, down 190, wrestles off 37 or 1.65% as we continue. Okay, we got some more emails here. So what do we have? NTLA, they have here on the theme of what's what's happening in the world of what's happening now. Virgin Galactic, I said back when this thing was going up to 57, it was a giant scam. There was no way that this thing could ever make the kind of money that they said it could. SpaceX really cleaning up that market, whether they're making money or not, they're destroying the competition. Didn't think that there was going to be a lot. Kind of going close to space is not a good thing. And of course, actually sending people to space and orbiting a whole different story. I thought it was kind of weak and the obvious overtones of propaganda of that just tough to swallow. But you're below the previous low. I don't think that there's a lot of chance for these also run space companies. So now don't think there's a lot there. Maybe they'll come out with something. I think they had a business that makes this thing worth about 10 bucks a share for launching for the military, small satellites, especially to get up for the CIA and national reconnaissance agency, he said. And it makes a lot of sense. But I don't think there's a lot of putting people in space or near space or just really high because they're not really at least in my opinion. You got to go 90 miles up, 60 miles, doesn't cut it. And of course, kind of like kissing your sister. If you're really not into orbit, I don't think you're an astronaut.<PHONE_NUMBER>. Ford Pinto, what do we have here? Hector wants to have Ford rebuild the Pinto. There. The funny thing is the Ford Pinto made more money in the lawsuits against NBC when they put dynamite in it to blow up than I think they ever made on the car. But always interesting. The AMC Pacer, that just always wanted to paint that thing like a big turtle and put some legs on it. It was just a big aquarium looking thing, wasn't it? First car, 78 Pinto wagon. Okay. We got some more emails here. Take a look now. Anybody in the den have anything? Got a couple minutes left to go. Okay. CCJ. Don't think it's quite done going sideways. You got a couple of bounces. Now what I like though is if this gets back into this candle of the six with much lighter volume, maybe over the next couple of weeks, I put in my newsletter, The Tech Insider, about what I liked about this thing and some of the things that they're into. Again, that's not quite happening yet. We're in the church of what's happening now. It's not happening quite yet. I like it. A retest down there in that $20 range on lighter volume in the next couple of days could set up some nice lows. I'd love to see this thing go out sideways to the end of the year. And maybe the beginning of the year, maybe this thing will be ready to go again. You got to think that once we get within a week or so of the Olympic games, that China probably won't pull anything while we have everybody going over there. The question is whether they do anything now, but you've got what, two months? So you got another new moon to worry about. And if I was a third world despot or even a first world despot, I would think that the next new moon is no one's believing anything can happen is generally the best time to do something if you're going to invade Taiwan, which they talk about daily, and nuking Australia and nuking Japan. They're just crazy wild kind of guys, aren't they? Those Chinese communists. Okay, what else do we have out here? Question about Adobe. A-D-B-E. We'll be back in a minute.

As we come back, wrap up the show for another wonderful Thursday. Calling, coming up from what we talked about yesterday, and that was options looked fairly weak into the 17th. There may be a little difference, and that is a change in character. We've had some huge moves, all of them within a couple of days. I'm wondering today if this is not a new sign of a change of character, and that is we took some giant leaps. Maybe it's time for the market to act more like a market that goes up and down for a handful of days or weeks without giant falls and incredible euphoric moves higher. I think that it is very possible that we could just have these kind of minus half percent, 1% days to the downside and string a few of these together, three or four, maybe a day up and three or four down or something. Don't see a lot of people, volume wasn't right on the indexes. As we said in the trend for the amics yesterday, pretty scary highs, or lows, excuse me, for the arm slash trend in that, and that happens to be most of the big ETFs yesterday. I'm not even saying when I'm fairly bearish, but I have a feeling this is more of a frog boiling market. They're going to just turn the temperature up slowly. Before everybody got in and out, but I think the temperature comes up slowly over the next few days and into next Friday when we expire. But anyway, it's not the end of the world, $4,600 on the S&P cash is kind of what we're looking at now. That can change and we'll let you know tomorrow if it does, but I don't see anything changing here. We're probably going to be down a bit today, down tomorrow into the weekend, down a little bit next week. So when you can, not when you have to. We'll be back tomorrow like Patton.

Hi everyone, this is Graham Miller, Associate Athletic Director and Head Men's Soccer Coach. I am here with episode five of the Mustang Success Trail and I'm talking about managing your time well. The biggest thing is do not procrastinate. You've got a busy week ahead with practices, games, exams, homework, make sure that you don't leave everything to the last minute and get it in on time. Plan ahead, get ahead, work wisely with your job and make sure you use your time as best as you can to complete everything on time.


Logic gates are the building blocks of every electronic thing around us. They take in inputs, and depending on the type of gate, they might send out an output. In electronic circuits, we have a power supply and electronics that feed from it. Logic gates work the same way. It's just another electronic we are feeding with power. We're going to stick to three types of logic gates. And XOR and OR. And gates require both inputs to be on to send power out. If one is on and one is off, it will not work. If both are off, same thing. OR gates, which stands for exclusive OR gates, requires that one input has to be exclusively on while the other has to be off. Anything else will not work. OR gates are a mashup of the last two. It requires either gates to be on exclusively, or that both be on together. Anything else will not work.


we'll come back to another XO heroes video so today's video we are discussing rework so we're actually in the midst of a release for the rework of garf so while we're at it I'll try to discuss with you guys a rework for all the generals that are present I'm not saying that all generals need a rework but who needs the rework the most okay to get it out of the way there are actually four heroes that don't need a rework right now so you have jenai jenai's kit has been very good ever since they gave her her fate core next would be fc schmid of course very op fate core needs no rework at all next would be fc garf who recently actually got a rework for his fc and for his base kit or his fated form and the other one some of you might actually won't agree with me but I think Rachel's kit is actually good already doesn't need a rework in fact linombi is actually well balanced right now and more or less has taken the lead in terms of nation and has dominated pvp so Rachel will have to skip his rework so that is four of them the ones that actually need um fate cores are dorka prithioff and carry okay so let's go first to dorka's um they don't need a rework technically they just need their fcs but what do they need in terms of their current kit so dorka's passive is actually very it's it's more or less balanced already um I think she needs another another because more or less they'll be tinkering with her kit probably another passive because we're already expecting that aside from her original passive um I think that's it for her skills s1 and s2 I think these are very good already um except for probably s1 um without the niche potential her s1 is actually a plane damage over time effect uh with bleed um s1 could have a good up you know upgrade in terms of her fc when it's out her s2 is actually good already so no need here so uh for dorka a a good addition for her s1 probably I don't know another you know another effect whatever but it needs to have it actually needs a a kind of a small touch of you know touch of being very you know being good not not just average and again for her passive it's going to be I'm sure they're going to give an additional passive once her um fc is going to be out next would be pretty off oh sorry I'll go next to karry I'll go last with the pretty off so karry where is karry she's so karry where are you karry karry um first first impression of karry's kit was actually good enough um we can see here she has manatulis agent three which is good she has obviously flow mana bramble which is a flex target with less attack than self with bramble decrease health regeneration of all enemies by 20% which is actually good rosa multi flora decrease health of target by 3% for 10 turns when target has a bramble mark can't be stacked again once she gets her fc I'm sure they'll be adding another line to this I'm not sure what is feasible for at this time but again um for karry's kit she is actually complete already in terms of passive uh well built passive for her s1 um notify heal uh it's an aoe skill so this is actually good already even if the damage is small because it gives a status effect but for her s2 I think this is good enough burst skill burst damage um 9 750 percent damage to one enemy again um no no no adjustments needed I think I think she just needs to have a good addition to her passive as a general so a small adjustment for for karry for her fc um the last would be prithee off and I saw him already he was here so for prithee off um I like the design very much of um what what they you know the design of his armor costume and the theme as well so for prithee off he has thrust three similar to shafrachem again they have breath of mana build formation which is the unique passive of generals grants build formation mark on ally with lower defense himself increases health of mark ally 50 percent so more or less he's built on on being tanky defense um I haven't seen him in action uh I haven't seen anybody use him yet so s1 would be a single target damage spell and stuns one enemy one enemy except the target with highest attack and it's not affected by okay so again for for his s2 required mana um okay deals 255 damage to all enemies so for him um fc wise I think they would they would have to go with um they I think can give an additional effect for his skills if they want to go on the defensive side because again he's built for defense so if they would just you know um up his uh let's say his s2 into giving it more a defensive uh defensive touch additional defense or probably additional health similar to to redlee he will be actually very good so for fc wise more or less um that is what he needs okay so more or less I've covered door cup prithee off and carry they all need fcs and the kit is actually right now in terms of average only I think dorka is above average for the two um carry I hope they just put nullify heal on her s2 as well so more or less that is what they need so looking forward to either fc of dorkar fc of carry soon hopefully soon for the community next is the last two that I'm going to discuss which will be shufraken in battery these two need a lot of love in terms of their fc their fated hero kit they should have an upgrade by this time and they should get the rework already so let's start with um shufraken so for shufraken he has thrust three breath of mana fear of the abyss which is actually okay uh a flicks target with with less defense than self with fear of the abyss mark okay which has been very good uh before if target has 10 percent or less health at the end of the term deal 65 percent damage to all enemies in the same row I think this one the second paragraph of fear of the abyss should be reworked already the deem the the I think the the 10 or less should be increased already probably at 20 because again um the meta right now is actually very tanky that uh you don't get to have multiple heroes uh already at 10 and trigger off uh fear of the abyss and the damage as well so I suggest they tweak this um 10 percent uh probably take it to 20 at maximum 20 or 15 percent then the damage as well um the damage to all enemies in the same row should be up as well because again um shufraken before was a very good threat not only in defense but also for this passive of his um this should be reworked already so and the rest actually is still good I don't think I have a problem with other other passives except for fear of the abyss um let's go to his s1 so 300 damage to one enemy flicks target with the spear and suffering mana burn one um okay the the the improvement for this one is probably increase the mana burn because if it's going to be only one um this is not really it's it doesn't have an impact on the game at this point so there are a lot of mana sources that you know that a hero can get mana from and the mana one is actually negligible and I would suggest you probably increase that to two or I don't know it's actually a suggestion um you have to make his kit more impressive more more of a something that people will fear rather than just you know relegate him to the side and for his s2 I would also suggest this is actually a good spell um this is really good the one thing that I am uh not good with this is uh it's all on the back row so um I would you know I would suggest that this be upgraded to all enemies um because again shufracken has you know already been dropped in terms of generals and his usage hasn't been the same ever since you know he was uh one of the sought after generals in the meta before but again those are just my opinion guys in terms of his rework passive rework for for a few of the abyss s1 rework for probably a visual mana burn and this should be all you know all enemies not just back row enemies so again um I would suggest exos could take the conservative approach just a little bit of an increase but I'm not sure what they're going to do but I hope they do um upgrade or rework shufracken soon okay last for the rework discussion would be FC Bathory you actually guessed it guys um she's actually on the thumbnail already so very obvious so uh more or less she's she has a good passive mana utilization very good for you know for aoe damage uh dealers with burst especially breath of mana standard for mana production tranquil tranquil has been you know has been um questioned by the community in terms of is tranquil still good is Bathory still one of the best heroes um she is but again tranquil is going to I don't know if they could still tweak tranquil um because of signature force right now tranquil is uh more or less not effective anymore it's from my end I think she's 50 50 effective with tranquil so probably they could have another rework or probably what it asked is because before even before she was very powerful to deal with and most of of the players have Bathory and used Bathory because of her tranquil skill but again this can be reworked just a little bit of a I'm not sure what kind of tweak but more or less try to tweak it to a 75 utility now it's at 50 percent and more or less um anybody who a signature force can just kill of a you know tranquil uh with their enemies so next would be Heming Leva Heming Leva yeah over time effect increase health of all allies except the caster by 20 percent this actually could could include Bathory if um it's just 20 percent this would be a big help to her um I would actually think that if there's a rework I think they could add to the passive not sure yet but again she just needs a rework in terms of um returning her to where she was before for her s2 I don't think there would be a you know I would recommend any rework but for her s1 I would suggest putting an effect here this actually will be dick I don't really use this as much because the damage right now for the meta is very the damage required to take down heroes or enemies is actually bigger already and for this even if it's a one mana spell even if you spam this this doesn't make a dent on your enemies um this actually is just a removal of summer's blessing when you have Valentino on the team that's actually the purpose but again this spell would be good or this skill would be good if it was added some kind of a status effect probably a a freeze or whatever um this would be good this would give her more utility in terms of damage in terms of gameplay in terms of turn manipulation so again I think um this would be good for her okay so I've discussed almost more or less every every general that we have um we have nine generals and guys please in the comments below I would really appreciate it if you could give me your thoughts on who needs a rework on who doesn't need a rework and what do you what is your wish list basically if a certain hero needs a rework what is your wish list put them down in comments below because I want to hear from you on what you think what type of skill would like to add to that hero let's discuss this guys let's let me you know let me have your opinions um so far again the ones that I discussed is actually pure in my opinion and more or less it's um it's it it I think it makes sense but if you think I don't make sense then put it down in the comments section below as well okay so again thank you guys for having supported me for this channel um but still around 79 percent of my viewers haven't subscribed yet so please do this helps my channel a lot I'm now at 888 subscribers nearing a
