What is up everybody welcome back to the channel a ton of you guys already know of this website some of you guys may not But I truly believe a lot of you guys that even know about it haven't really used it to its full potential as far as Building your business and capturing leads on social media. Okay. That's exactly what this whole entire video is going to pertain to just I believe Just you know One way out of many ways you can capture leads, but at the at the end of the day This right here has been tested over and over and over and so many people have used this same Strategy and same, you know freakin method forever And it wasn't until really the internet started taken off and really started to explode which was let's say let's say early 2000s early 2000s is when is when the internet and just Reliability was really starting to take effect two thousands into the mid 2000s now We're in 2020 where we're at scale social media at scale meaning Billions of people are on it right? It's huge now But it started it started in the very beginning with like blogs and and random basic websites Even before landing pages and sales funnels when people still had to build some type of website to sell a product or to get Any type of information, you know online and I remember back then People started giving away free information free downloads, you know click here to download your free report, right? How many free reports, you know website type of things have you came across and For how long right? I know me personally I've had I've came across so many websites where there was some type of free download and you know why that's so effective today Is because it gives something for free and it gives something of value For free in exchange for someone's basic information name email. That's it.  But most of us dude the average consumer it wasn't until it wasn't until until until the early 2000s Which which makes it at the at the recording of this video makes it 20 years in right 20 years in 20 years in and so It wasn't until maybe maybe maybe 15 years ago 10 years ago for sure five years ago Where major major internet marketers were capturing leads that way given away something of value and in in in in this case a digital download and in some cases a freaking video like how easy is it to put together a 10 minute video teaching a specific audience a specific thing and Let's say you don't charge for it But let's say you actually offer it for free, but it's something that's not on YouTube You don't put it out anywhere right? It's real value, you know for a specific group Maybe you're a freelancer Maybe you're building an agency and you're looking for clients Maybe you're a real estate agent and you're looking for clients buyers sellers But but you but you have this this this information regarding the best way to sell your house Or you have this information regarding the best lender to speak to and it's just it's just information that you that you do Put out there in social media world But it's also good information that you that you give to just your clients and so online imagine just Having a simple opt-in page and given something of value for free in that case a video 30-second message 60-second message or you have a handful of videos that you want to give me free access to teach me to do this this and that There's many ways you can spin it man video format or a digital Download a PDF and that's where this website you guys can come in handy for sure in 2018 I ended up doing this for my business for my social media agency I've been focused on one niche since 2016 getting clients on social media direct messaging.

I I have a lot to say as well That's what I'm saying whatever you're fired up about your real estate agent put together a seller guide Teach the end consumer everything they know they need to know about the process of selling And here's what you can even do to take it a step further You can literally Pour a glass of wine Drink your tea sending your couch Go to your office Whatever works for you and you can literally pull out your phone And verbally talk the entire Time you record that on your iphone you send that file over to a person on fiber And you get someone to transcribe that you then you then take that content Send it over to these to these guys And they edit it all for you and and so you got 10 pages You took that 10 pages you turned it into 40 pages You put a bunch of images and it wasn't like you sat there and wrote a book. No, dude You could now here's the deal. I did I did I did I me personally I did not learn that strategy the verbal talking to your cell phone I didn't learn that strategy until after I already had a bunch of content that I wanted to put down I just needed a head start like I just needed a freaking push and that was the fiber So I had I had a professional, you know e-book writer you can find so many man and that's around the budget But but you can find so many and you can just they can help you get it started Like they can help you get it started any topic any topic if you're a real estate agent put together a seller guide Put together a buyer guide, you know get have someone reach out and say, hey, man Here's the topic. Here's what I need you to write about And and and and what's the most amount of words I can get from you, you know And and and when you're hiring these people, they're in different countries Fiber is the middle man. That's why they charge the little two dollar processing thing, but it's nothing man I've used fiber for so many different things man social media Design graphics design my e-book look dude. So here's the deal I took my e-book right and started sending it to my niche people that I were looking that people in in an audience that I was looking and still Do look to get as clients for my social media agency So all I did is I put together this this awesome book on marketing and and and social media You know marketing and and I'm and I just tailored it towards that niche.  What are Tips what are strategies what are different ideas that you may have That would help me If I was looking to sell a house like to sell your house if you own a home today in the United States if you own a home Anywhere in any of this in any in in in the in the entire country And even if you're catching this video from a different country real estate.  It's pretty general, right?  Or or let's say you're looking to Yeah, yeah, you own and you're looking to sell What can you educate the consumer on that would make that process maybe easier? Like what can you put together? Like if you if if you and I sat down right now if we went out to coffee We went to go have coffee and you wanted to meet with me because I told you that I'm looking to sell my house But I don't know who to hire You know, I I don't know about real estate and never sold a house before You know, you're my only friend so I'm reaching out to you you happen to be a real estate agent so If we had coffee and we sat down like and and and that's my my my my pain my pain is that I need to sell So I'm looking for the best advice, you know, I'm probably interviewing different real estate agents I'm trying to see what so what do I need you for right? If if you and I sat down Stacy and that was the topic You for sure can list you can give me 10 different Strategies on selling that house quick your marketing Maybe maybe you're giving me advice on renovating the kitchen Maybe you're you're coming over and you're doing a walkthrough and and you're giving me advice on laying new carpet Or you're you're giving me advice on the landscape. You're telling me. Hey, man Renovate that bathroom and we could probably get a higher value All that type of knowledge that you have as a as a real estate agent, for example You can literally we that's what you would tell me we would sit down for coffee And you would say David. Here's the reason why you need to hire me Because my marketing is superior. I'm going to have you all over social media In fact, I'm going to be running Facebook ads with my buddy David and we're going to be crushing it We're going to sell this property.  I want landscape. I want you to renovate the kitchen Like you could tell me all these different things, man That would help me sell my house The fastest and at the highest value because that's your job. You already know that knowledge So it applies to any business.   Whatever the the the pain point of the consumer is That's why you're in business to fulfill it. All I'm saying is that on social media today 2020 It's time to narrow it in it's time to narrow it in because if you're a local business owner You cannot afford anymore to just post organically Thinking that your next client is coming from Nebraska when you're doing deals in florida. No dude like Narrow it in narrow it in and so all I'm saying with this is that when you start capturing leads when you start running paid traffic A great place to start to even test the market to see if they're even open to what the hell you're selling The very first thing you want to do is start with a pdf start with a free download Put together your knowledge put together your information. Who are you pitching? Who are you looking to recruit? Who is your client? Who is your ideal client? Who is the avatar? Right and it applies for anyone man. You're going after a certain age group. You're happening You're going after a certain gender. You're targeting a certain location Who is that client for you man? It's all insane Even if you're just a direct marketer or an affiliate marketer and you're selling physical products or digital products Who's that audience? Who's that audience right that audience? There's there's the overall audience. There's there's that category and it's categorized under an interest So that interest What can we offer them to get their attention? Like what can we offer them and i'm just saying a download man is super inexpensive It's super fast. It's how you can test your market and test your offer fast because if you put together something what what what a percentage of an audience Are willing to consume for free. Okay. This is a free download I'm not selling this download right and then that's why what I did over here when I started mine in 2019 Here's my list over here I sold I sold let's see paid book Way way more than 83 that was all in 2019. Okay Way more than 83, but then I combined list. I lost a few people.  I'm not playing with you guys, man This is um This one sales page. I mean there ain't nothing to it. This is all hosted on cartra There's a 14 day trial in the description But this is what I put together in 20 in 2018 in 20 2018 And then and then I and then I revised it in 2019 to fit 2020 and where we're at today so But it's not really something that I really care to sell I mean when you come over here, this is the long form sales page. This is my book, right? I put this together all through fiber in 2018. Okay. I'm telling you how I did it This book right here is fire fire someone can click on the image It brings up the payment processor and I Take their card. Okay I've been doing that since 2018, but it wasn't high scalability I didn't care to go crazy hardcore with it because again The whole purpose of this the whole purpose of getting a ghost writer and allowing them to put together the template for you so you can then take your knowledge and and and Elaborate on it, right? You can you can turn a 10 pager into a 20 pager and then boom that becomes your pdf That becomes your bait that becomes how you start running facebook ads to a specific audience To give them something of value in exchange for their contact information.  So it's like dude this right here is just to test the market test the market Test the market, especially if you're a freelancer I guess i'm talking to those who are trying to build an agency or you're looking for clients or your yeah Any type of freelancer anything like that where you got to go get clients A great way to do it man is to capture the lead by giving them some type of e-book. Okay, and this is where I got mine done okay, so today Today I have I have 55 pages of this straight fire that brings value to my client to my ideal client. These are clients that are not my clients just yet, right? But but but I did that mainly not to get rich off of five bucks I did that to test a market to see if people are even willing to consume this Right and so if it's going to cost me a hundred bucks to test that idea And again, what's the what's the reward the reward the risk is spent in a hundred bucks, but the reward the reward Is capturing so many leads if you did it in a way where you're just it's your bait to capture leads That's why if you're a real estate agent you put out a buyer guide you put out a seller guide This is how you're now going to capture leads. Okay in my case I am a An agency where I actually am looking for clients All in that real estate field.  That's pretty cool, right? And so what? x amount will purchase will will will consume for free A percentage of x amount are willing to pay a premium for more information Okay, and for detailed information and for coaching type of information right teach someone how to fish man type of information and in this case when it comes to entrepreneurship when it comes to building your business when it comes to making freaking money Okay, bottom line That's my market man. That's my market.  That's the best five bucks you'll ever spend Okay, the social real estate agent.com look at my book that book again from fiver They put together 10 I turned it into 55 if you look at the layout of mine ain't nothing fancy But at the same time it's something and and when you grab that if you're interested in golf And someone just threw out a freaking free download like why wouldn't you download it like shit?  I'm not this is not hocus pocus. This is Information highway. This is how we're consuming information you dangle a carrot in front of me and it happens to be what i'm interested in I'll click that's just what it is man And so for you being a local business owner This is how you're gonna do it. This is how you're gonna capture leads man whatever business you're building It doesn't matter What type of value can we put together in a brochure? What type of value can we turn that into a pdf and a digital download? And i'm telling you all that is hosted on cartra. I host it. I host the list look 83 people That was enough for me to say damn dude. There's the market Can can can use this okay? That's what that's what solidified that idea and then and then I gave it away for free I also gave it away up here Up here. I also gave it away for free for a few people as well in the last couple weeks So I mean people that's what i'm saying And whatever you want to teach is whatever you could teach my whole goal with this was to test the market See if there was a of a need for this type of information right social media marketing Facebook advertising All on one niche right so whatever your niche is man Put that value down in a pdf dude put that value down in a pdf Um and and start and and see here's what I did not do all that is organic all mine is organic Okay You get that book done first and then what you can also do is you can optimize all your social media platforms In all of your platforms, whether it's facebook instagram linkedin pinterest twitter Even tiktok youtube if you're building a youtube That link that website address. Okay in your contact me page on linkedin That website address is very very important. A lot of you guys are mickey mousin it. I'm gonna call you out right now Without you even changing anything right now Think of all your social media platforms and think of the website address you have in all of them Do you have one in all of them? Does that website address lead me to a capture page in any of them? Like don't send me to sent fancy website I don't care about your website unless your facebook picksling me and putting me into a custom audience Then you got your game up But if you don't got that going on and you got some random link to some random website But that link happens to be on your twitter That link happens to be in your contact page on linkedin. It's like dude.  Okay, so again That's my sales page a person come this a long form sales page This template is already provided in kartra. So if you come into kartra, there's a link in the description profit with kartra dot online Set up a fortunate trial man and then come in here Click on pages And then click on Let's click on no no no we're gonna click on my campaigns to the left right here My campaigns we're gonna click on my campaigns And we're gonna and and these are all right here.  This say this saves so much time.  This is the one that I did over here. Look Where did it go? Where did it go? Frank Kern's book funnel?  This is a short little video. I won't play the whole thing but watch Set it up once you put the button to install it. So here's how it works You're going to send traffic from either facebook ads or google ads or email west and it's going to go to a sales page And we default to using the sales page that looks like this I know the video is a little bit small, but i'll show you a bigger version here in a second And the reason we're defaulting to this long form version of the sales page is because this page this layout and The campaign for you is always on the exact page You can literally come in here, dude, and you can import that entire funnel and You have it like i'm talking like all the pages the email sequence the email list the tags The product checkout because you need products over here my products all that is a it's a digital product So it's some same dude. You're either selling digital video. You're either selling digital You're either selling video content or you're selling A book or a pdf or text some type of text based download like like i'm telling you man and That's just one powerful way to capture leads and that's what I use cartridge for man. So um This is what I would do for you guys and and then and then to take it up to take it up a few notches And then I would run a facebook ad that's what I didn't do on mine mine is organic So I had I had a ton of people that saw my book and bought my book and I gave a few of them away for free like I got a good amount of downloads on that right just to just enough to to to know If my offer was good enough or not That's what I wanted you guys to do man. So that's the moral of the video you guys If you have any idea if you have any type of service you're providing If you're trying to get the attention of any type of audience Give them something for free and and make it valuable make it a video a video But in this case i'm showing you on how you can write your own book and how easy it can really be Um because I truly believe that could be a good lead magnet And then you tie that with kartra and there's just so many different campaigns That you can come in here and simply plug and play And be off to the races and then and then and then as leads come in like for example a person watch dude I'm telling you this will be the best five bucks you guys I ever spent because what what you would get out of this is number one Reach not to someone on fiber to put together something like mine real quick. Look at mine, dude five bucks. Look at mine 55 pages that you guys can for sure duplicate Okay, and and and put your own twist on it for your exact market And and and then go through my process Right when you check out you hit continue and you put in your credit card and you freaking check out It takes you to a thank you video where it's me on video telling you exactly What's going on and then and then what I want you to do is check your email because that book is going to be emailed to you Right away hack my entire funnel man and and and and look at them be like damn, dude I need that for my business.

All right guys. I'll see you in the next video over now. Click the link below It'll actually give you a fiver discount. All right. Peace


George, we've seen upward pressure on the uranium prices recently. Can you tell us what you think might be one of the catalysts for this? Well, obviously, I think it's the possibility of a sanction on Russian urine. That is in the works right now, hasn't been completely enacted, but I think the market is saying that's likely to happen. Now, the restriction will go into effect immediately, but over a period of time, that will cause the demand for uranium to switch from Russian and Kazakhs, not likely, to a Russian non-Kazakh uranium. Now, where is that going to come from? It's going to come from Australia, it's going to come from Canada, it's going to come from a bit from Africa and from the US. And those sources are going to apply a higher price than we've had in the past. Now, the Kazakhs are very efficient at producing uranium, very low cost. So are the Russians, but the free world has to have a return on their capital. And so you have to have a price that justifies production. So that's why we're seeing the price going up, because it's going to take a higher price to justify this non-Russian, non-Kazakh production. And of course, you were speaking with us earlier, you mentioned that there's only three companies in the United States currently producing, is that correct? That's right. Yeah, that's exactly right. And I believe there are only three others that have any possibility of producing in the next six, eight years. And there are still other three can come on. So we only have six production companies and their quantity of production is going to be limited. We don't have an unlimited quantity. The U.S. consumes over 50 million pounds a year. We can't produce 50 million pounds a year in the U.S. any time soon. We can't even probably produce half of that in the next four or five years. You have a time limit. We don't need to produce 50 million pounds in the U.S. We've got Canada, we've got Australia, we've got Africa, part of Africa. We can rely on them. So we don't need the Russians. We don't need the Kazakhs. Well, we need his time and we need a little bit higher price, not a substantially higher place. And we don't need 150. I'm not with the company just the other day that thinks the price is going to $100 within two years. And I don't share that. I don't think it's going to go to $100 in two years. But we don't need $100 and neither do most of these companies, but they do need more than the current price. So that's why I think we're seeing a slow increase in the price. And we'll continue to see that over the next two years to get to a place. Now, the price could spike. Like I did take a look at what happened in 2006 and 2007. Price, the spot price went to what, $130 a pound. It didn't stay there. But that was a perception that we needed that to produce. Well, we didn't. And the price could spike way above it for what? Interestingly enough, if that happens, those companies that have not committed all their production under contract can take advantage of that. You know, you take a look at a company like Pallet and I don't like to refer to other companies much. But Pallet and was a great producer back during that boom. They didn't sign any long term contracts. And what happened? The price dropped and Pallet and went bankrupt. Pallet and should assign contracts and they could have. They could have gotten 80 or $90 contracts. And Pallet and wouldn't have been in that position because Pallet is a producer. So what happens in this next go around? If you're a producer, you can step up and sign those contracts at those significantly higher prices. You'll be a lot better off because I'm not guaranteeing the price goes to $80. It may not stay there. You know, once the world produces enough uranium at that price, price could fall. And there's no guarantee it'll stay at 80, 90 or $100 for the next 20 years. It might, but the producers that can take advantage of that will certainly be in a good position in the next two to three years. And that's where we are. And that is where you are. Sunday Mine can produce for 20 years. Is that correct? Well, yeah, we've got at least a 20 year life of the Sunday Mine that at the levels we expect to produce. And we've announced that, you know, we're producing maybe two million pounds a year. Part of that, most of that would be out of the Sunday Mine. We're also in the process of committing an additional project, the San Rafael project. But those two basically would give us at least 20 year life, but not more. So if I hear you correct, right now, we're waiting for legislation to proceed in the house to keep us from buying Russian and potentially Kazakhstanian uranium, correct? Yes, that's right. And it looks like that could happen. Certainly this summer, things are heating up and as I said, it's come out of the committee of both the Senate and the House. You know, with recommendation, it's got to go to the full House, the full Senate and then it's got to be signed by the President. But it seems like there's enough support for this thing. Once they iron out the small differences, and there are differences between the House and the Senate version, they iron out the small versions. I think it'll become long. Now, how long it takes for the sanctions to be in place where they're really saying, we're not going to have any Russian or Kazakh uranium? You know, that's still in the details. But eventually that will encourage the utilities to step up in contract with non-Russian, non-Kazakh producers. So that's something else we found that the general market doesn't understand. And the real demand for uranium is actually the utility companies. Can you tell us a little bit more about that? Well, obviously they're the consumer of the product. You can have traders that buy uranium, and you can have other sources that buy like these funds. The Sprott kind buys uranium, but they don't consume any. They certainly buy it and fold it. But that is not the end-use of uranium, not be held by a fund. End-use of uranium is to produce electricity. And obviously demand is going to come. We think the Sprott is a good thing. You know, they're buying uranium, taking it out of the market. But the utilities are the real key because they consume the product. And they consume a lot of it. And you look at the projections for nuclear power, they're going to be a lot more consumed in the future. Not a lot less. So that's going to drive the demand for uranium also because consumption is going to go up. And these new small modular reactors are going to add to that. And I think that's just, that's the future of the industry. More reactors, more power from nuclear power. And it's really come on the last couple of years, people are saying we've got to have nuclear power to meet the carbon requirements. You don't have it, you're not going to get there. Well, you heard it here on Investor Intel. For more information on Western Uranium and Vanadium, please go to the following website. Thank you, George.


Hey, this is Brett and this 2015 Ram 1500 Quad Cab Short Box is stock number 12778Z. We are here at Summit Automotive in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin near new and used light duty truck and Ram headquarters. This 2015 Ram 1500 has the 5.7 liter V8 Hemi engine. This truck has been fully safe and inspected by our service shop per the state of Wisconsin inspection process that has a fresh oil and filter change. All the fluids have been checked and topped off and this truck is 100% ready to go. We're going to go all the way around on this vehicle, inside, underneath, start it up and take a look under the hood. Blue streak metallic is the color and we shoot all of our videos in 4K. So if you have HD capabilities on your computer tablet, smartphone or television, I highly recommend turning them on right now because it is your best way to check out the quality, condition, options, color, and cleanliness of the truck before seeing it in person. And if you like the video on how we do things here at Summit Automotive, consider clicking the subscribe button in the lower right hand part of the screen and then click the bell notifications and you'll get updates every time we do videos here at Summit Automotive. This one comes with the 20 inch alloy rims with chrome covers and it has Goodyear Wrangler SRA tires. These are 275, 6DR 20s. They've got a pretty good amount of tread left on them, I'd say probably 75% of the tread left on those tires. Front fender is in excellent condition, no dents or dings on there, headlight lenses are crystal clear. The Express package gives you the painted front bumper, no dents, dings or cracks on there and it does come with the factory fog lights. You also get the painted grille with that Express package and the hood is in very nice condition. I didn't see any major dents or dings on there and the passenger side front fender looks really good as well. Passenger side rim, no scuffs or scrapes and as you go down this side of this 2015 Ram 1500, take note of how clean the body is, how reflective and mirror like that paint is. Keep in mind this is a seven-year-old truck already and it's in really nice shape. You get a color-matched Lear cap on this one and we take these HD videos so if you are far away or even if you're close by just can't make the trip down you can still see the truck, hear the truck, and have confidence in the vehicle that you're looking at before you even get here so when you do get here there's absolutely no surprises and you can make a smart and informed buying decision before from wherever you're at and if this video helps you make that decision let your salesman know you saw the video and that Brett sent you. So the back tires have right around half the tread left on them comes with the plastic wheel well liners in this back room is in excellent shape as well and those plastic wheel well liners help keep your frame and underbody looking good, cab corners, lower rockers all look great and it comes with a really nice set of tiger painted step bars. Passenger side box, I didn't see any dents or dings on there and coming around to the back rear bumpers in pretty nice shape does come with a full towing package which includes a receiver hitch four pin and seven pin wiring and with the Hemi package you get the or the Hemi engine you get the chrome tipped dual rear exhaust tailgate is in nice shape as well inside the slayer cap is a bed mat and the bed itself is in pretty nice shape I didn't see any major dents or dings on the box looks pretty good tailgate shuts nice and solidly as does the cap coming around the driver's side just as clean as I pass the new side no major dents or dings on the box and for full disclosure this back room is in excellent shape as well going down the rest of this side of the truck doors look really good does have the heated power mirrors inside the express package gives you the gray cloth interior this one does have the 40 20 40 split bench seating there are no rips or tears on the seats and it smells very clean inside this truck this comes with a set of weather tech all-weather formats auto headlamps power windows power locks and power mirrors we'll hop inside check out the miles radio and everything that this truck has to offer on the interior all right so you can see that this one has 21,972 miles you do get a compass and outside temperature display instrument cluster is very nice and clean comes with the bluetooth and information center controls on the left and the cruise controls on the right comes with the six speed automatic transmission with the optional tap shift you get the five inch touchscreen radio am fm and serious xm radio capabilities now this one does have an aftermarket backup camera on it I'm not sure if it'll there you go you can see that there um turned out four-wheel drive climate control stability control and tow hall carpeting is very nice and clean on this truck and the passenger side seat no rips or tears on there the headliner is in very nice shape too and you do get map lights up there we'll take a quick look at the back seats and then we'll start it up take a look under the hood back seats are just as clean as front seats no rips or tears back here does have the latch child safety system for any child car seats you may have fixed glass rear window seats are in nice shape and the carpeting is in nice condition as well and you get a little bit of storage room underneath those back seats side curtain airbags on this truck as well child safety locks on the back doors and the bottoms of the doors all look really good let's start it up and take a look under the hood starts right up no check engine lights or anything like that now I'd like to personally thank you for checking out the video today and hopefully from this hd video you'll have been able to verify the quality and condition of this truck all the way around inside out I think this thing's in fantastic condition for being a 2015 and just the miles that are on it under the hood we have the 5.7 liter v8 hemi engine engine base very clean runs very smooth and once again this truck has been fully safe to and inspected by our service shop has a fresh oil and filter change all the fluids have been checked and topped off and this truck is 100 percent ready to go I would highly recommend this truck from a quality and condition standpoint and to see more pictures of this 2015 ram 1500 quad cab short box express in blue street pearl go to that website right there www.summitauto.com full pictures and descriptions of every single vehicle from two locations all at summitauto.com and if you'd like to check out more hd videos you can go to youtube.com slash summit auto remember to like subscribe and share on this video and all the videos that you see there click the bell notifications you'll get updates on the videos we do each and every day here at summit automotive in fact in a second you'll see a link to subscribe to our youtube channel in the upper left a link to more ram 1500 truck videos like this from the upper right link to this vehicle on our website the lower left and a link to one of our latest youtube videos in the lower right click those check us out and we're super excited to help you with this ultra clean 2015 ram 1500 quad cab short box express in blue streak pro coat thanks again for checking out the video remember to like subscribe and share


Hi and welcome to the session where we discuss the following question the question says find the mean deviation about the mean for the data and exercises 526 this is the data given to us and we have to find the mean deviation about the mean of this data. Now before solving this question we should note the steps which are involved in the calculation of mean deviation about the of a discrete frequency distribution. In the first step we find the mean of the given data by using the formula mean is equal to 1 by n into summation i varying from 1 to n pi x i where n is equal to summation i varying from 1 to n pi. In the second step we find the deviation of each x i from x bar that is x 1 minus x bar x 2 minus x bar so on x n minus x bar. In the third step we find the absolute value of each deviation that is drop the minus sign if it is there that is mod of x 1 minus x bar x 2 minus x bar in mod and so on. And in the last step find the mean of the absolute values of the deviations this mean is the mean deviation about mean that is mean deviation about mean is equal to 1 by n into summation i varying from 1 to n pi into mod x i minus x bar where n is equal to summation i varying from 1 to n pi. Always remember these steps we will be using this step for solving this question. So now begin with the solution we will first make a table in the first two columns we have written the given data. Now in this column we will find the product of f i and x i. In the first row x i is 10 and f i is 4 so we have 10 into 4 and 10 into 4 is 40. In the second row we have 30 into 24 30 into 24 is 720 then 15 to 28 is 1400 then 70 into 16 is 1120 and then 90 into 8 is 720. To first find n, n is equal to summation i varying from 1 to n. Now here n is 5 as the number of observations is 5 f i. Now this is equal to 4 plus 24 plus 28 plus 60 plus 8 on adding all these frequencies we get 80. Now we will find summation i varying from 1 to 5 f i x i this is equal to 40 plus 720 plus 1400 plus 1120 plus 720 this is equal to 4000. Going to calculate mean that is x bar. x bar is equal to 1 by n summation i varying from 1 to 5 f i x i. By substituting values we get 1 by 80 into 4000 and this is equal to 50. So mean of the given data is 50. Now we will find x i minus x bar. x bar is equal to 50 and in the first row x i is equal to 10 so we have 10 minus 50 and 10 minus 50 is minus 40. Then we have 30 minus 50, 30 minus 50 is minus 20, 50 minus 50 is 0, 70 minus 50 is 20, 90 minus 50 is 40. Now we will find mod of x i minus x bar absolute value of minus 40 is 40, absolute value of minus 20 is 20 and absolute value of 0, 20 and 40 is 0, 20 and 40. We will find f i into mod x i minus x bar. In the first row f i is 4 and mod of x i minus x bar is 40 so we have 4 into 40, 4 into 40 is 160, 24 into 20 is 480, 28 into 0 is 0, 16 into 20 is 320, 8 into 40 is 320. So summation by varying from 1 to 5 f i into mod x i minus x bar is equal to 160 plus 480 plus 0 plus 320 plus 320 and this is equal to 1280. So on adding this we get 1280 and we have already calculated that some of all these frequencies is 80. And summation i varying from 1 to 5 f i x i is 4000. We need to calculate mean deviation about mean that is x bar. Now mean deviation about x bar is equal to 1 by n into summation i varying from 1 to 5 f i into mod x i minus x bar. By substituting values we get 1 by 80 into 1280 and this is equal to 16. Hence a required answer is 16. So this completes the by nj care.


Hi and welcome to a session where I will discuss the following question. The question says find the points on the x-axis whose distances from the line x y 3 plus y by 4 is equal to 1 at 4 units. Before solving this question we should know the formula for finding the distance of a point from a line. The equation of straight line is E y plus C is equal to 0 and P is a point having coordinates x 1 y 1. The distance of this point from this line that is D is given by mod of x 1 plus B y 1 plus C upon square root of A square plus B square. Again with the solution given equation of line is x by 3 plus y by 4 is equal to 1. Right, now this in height is equal to 12 times 4 x plus 3 y minus 12 is equal to 0. Now on comparing this equation with A x plus B y plus C is equal to 0 we find that A is equal to 4, B is equal to 3 and C is equal to minus 12. We have to find the points on the x-axis whose distances from the line x by 3 plus y by 4 is equal to 1 at 4 units. Now any point on x-axis is of the form find the distance of the point x 0 from the line 4 x plus 3 y minus 12 is equal to 0. We have learnt above that the distance of the point P having coordinates x 1 y 1 from the line A x plus B y plus C is equal to 0 is given by mod of A x 1 plus B y 1 plus C upon square root of A square plus B square. Now here A is equal to 4, B is equal to 3 and C is equal to minus 12 and x 1 y 1 is x 0. So let us now substitute all these values in the above formula. By substituting the values we get mod of 4 into x plus 3 into 0 minus 12 upon square root of 4 square plus 3 square. Now it is given to us that this distance is equal to 4 units. Now this implies 4 x minus 12 that is mod of 4 x minus 12 upon square root of 16 plus 9 is equal to 4. This implies mod of 4 x minus 12 upon 5 is equal to 4. This implies 4 x minus 12 mod is equal to 20. This implies 4 x minus 12 is equal to 20 or minus of 4 x minus 12 is equal to 20. Now this implies 4 x is equal to 32 or this implies minus 4 x is equal to 8. Now this implies x is equal to 8 or minus 4 x is equal to 8 implies x is equal to minus 2. Now the points on the x axis is of the form x 0. So the required points are minus 2 0 and 8 0. This is our required answer. So this completes the session. Bye and take care.


It's theCUBE, covering the Virtual Vertica Big Data Conference 2020, brought to you by Vertica. Hi everybody, welcome back. You're watching theCUBE's coverage of the Vertica Virtual Big Data Conference. It was, of course, going to be in Boston at the Encore Hotel, win big with big data, new casino, but obviously Coronavirus has changed all that, our hearts go out and our empathy to those people are struggling. We are going to continue our wall-to-wall coverage of this conference and we're here with Larry Lancaster, who's the founder and CTO of Zebrium. Larry, welcome to theCUBE, thanks for coming on. Hi, thanks for having me. You're welcome, so first question, why did you start Zebrium? Yeah, you know, I don't know, so I've been dealing with machine data a long time, so for those of you who don't know what that is, you know, you can imagine servers or whatever goes on in a data center or in a SaaS shop, there's data coming out of those servers, out of those applications and basically you can build a lot of cool stuff on that. So there's a lot of metrics that come out and there's a lot of log files that come out. And so, you know, I built this, basically spent my career building that sort of thing. So, you know, tools on top of that or products on top of that. The problem is that since at least log files are completely unstructured, it's always doing the same thing over and over again, which is, you know, going in and understanding the data and, you know, extracting the data and all that stuff. It's very time consuming. If you've done it like five times, you don't wanna do it again. So really, my idea was, you know, at this point with machine learning where it's at, there's gotta be a better way, so. So Zebrium was founded on the notion that we can just do all that automatically. We can take a pile of machine data, we can turn it into a database, and we can build stuff on top of that. And so, the company's really all about bringing that, bringing that value to the market. That's cool, I wanna get into that. Just better understand kind of who you're disrupting and understand that opportunity better. But before I do, tell us a little bit about your background. You got kind of an interesting background. A lot of tech chops. Yeah. Give us some color there.  I was in grad school over at Berkeley, biophysics, and I realized I need to go get a job. So I ended up starting in software and I've been there ever since. I mean, spent a lot of time at sort of, I guess I cut my teeth at NetApp, which was a storage company. And then I've co-founded a business called Blasping, which was kind of an ETL database company. And then after that, I ended up at Nimble Storage. Another company, EMC, ended up buying the Blasping. So I went over there and after Nimble though, which where I built the InfoSight platform, that's where I kind of, you know, after that I was able to step back and take a year and a half and just go into my basement. Actually, this is my kind of workspace here.  So that's really my career in a nutshell. And you got Hello Kitty over your right shoulder, which is kinda cool. That's right. And then up to the left, you got your monitor, right? Well, I had it, it's over here yet. Okay, pull it out, pull it out, let me see it. So, okay, so you got that. So what do you do? You just sit there and code all night or? That's right, that's right. So Hello Kitty's over here, so I have a daughter and she, you know, set up my workspace here on this side with Hello Kitty and so on.  It's great, completely comfortable. That's cool. All right, better put that monitor back on. You guys are yelling at me. But so obviously we're talking to somebody with serious coding chops. And I also had the Nimble Info site. I think it was one of the best pickups that HPE has had in a while. And the thing that interested me about that, Larry, is the ability that the company was able to take that Info site and port it very quickly across its product lines. So that says to me it was a modern architecture. I'm sure API, microservices and all those cool buzzwords, but the proof is in their ability to bring that IP to other parts of the portfolio. So well done. Yeah, well thanks, I appreciate that. I mean, you know, they've got a fantastic team there. And the other thing that helps is, you know, when you have the notion that you don't just build on top of the data, you extract the data, you structure it, you put that in a database, we use Vertica there for that. And then you build on top of that. That just taking the time to build that layer is what lets you build a scalable sort of platform. Yeah, so, you know, why Vertica?   And then the database was kind of a boring market. And then all of a sudden you had the, all these MPP companies came out a spate of them. They all got acquired, including Vertica. And they've all sort of, you know, disappeared and, you know, morphed into different brands and Micro Focus has preserved the Vertica brand. And it seems like Vertica has been able to survive the transitions. Why Vertica? What was it about that platform that was unique and interested you? Well, I mean, so they're the first one to build what I would call a real column store that's kind of market capable, right? So there was the C-Sore project at Berkeley which Stonebreaker was involved in. And then that became sort of the seed from which Vertica was spawned. So you had this idea of, you know, let's lay things out in a columnar way. And then when I say columnar, I don't just mean that the data for every column is in a different set of files.  And so you end up with these massive orders of magnitude savings in terms of the data that's being pulled off storage as well as as it's moving through the pipeline internally in Vertica's query processing. So why am I saying all this? Because it's fundamentally, it was a fundamentally disruptive technology. I think column stores are ubiquitous now in analytics. And I think you could name maybe a couple of projects which are mostly open source who do something like Vertica does, name me another one that's actually capable of serving an enterprise as a relational database. I still think Vertica is unique in being that one. Well, it's interesting because, you know, your startup, and so a lot of startups would say, okay, we're going with a born in the cloud database. Vertica touts that, well, look, we've embraced cloud. You know, we have, we run in the cloud, we run on-prem, you know, all different optionality. And you hear a lot of vendors say that, but a lot of times they're just taking their stack and stuffing it into the cloud. But so why didn't you go with a cloud native database?  Right, I mean, again, I'm not, so as I explained to column store, which I think is the appropriate definition, I'm not aware of another cloud native, so I'm not aware of other cloud native transactional databases. I'm not aware of one that has the analytics performance and I've tried some of them. So it's not like I didn't look. What I was actually impressed with and I think what let me move forward using Vertica in our stack is the fact that Eon really is built from the ground up to be cloud native. And so we've been using Eon almost ever since we started the work that we're doing. So I've been really happy with the performance and with the reliability of Eon. It's interesting, I've been saying for years that Vertica is a diamond in the rough and its previous owner didn't know what to do with it because it got distracted and now micro focus seems to really see the value and there's obviously putting some investments in there. Tell me more about your business. Who are you disrupting?  Add some color to that. Yeah, so our broader market is monitoring software. That's the kind of the high level category. So you have a lot of people in that market right now. Some of them are entrenched in large players like Datadog would be a great example. Some of them are smaller upstarts. It's a pretty saturated market. But what's happened over the last, I'd say two years is that there's been sort of a push towards what's called observability in terms of at least how some of the products are architected like Honeycomb and how some of them are messaged. Most of them are messaged these days. And what that really means is there's been sort of an understanding that's developed that MTTR is really what people need to focus on to keep their customers happy.  And the biggest reason for that is because of what's called unknown unknowns because of complexity. Nowadays applications are 10 times as complex as they used to be. And what you end up with is a situation where if something is new, if it's a known issue with a known symptom and a known root cause, then you can set up automation for it. But the ones that really cost a lot of time in terms of service disruption are unknown unknowns. And now you gotta go dig into this massive mass of data. So observability is about making tools to help you do that, but it's still gonna take you hours. And so our contention is you need to automate the eyeball. That the bottleneck is now the eyeball. And so you have to get away from this notion of a person's gonna be able to do it infinitely more efficiently and recognize that you need automated help. When you get an alert, it shouldn't be that, hey, something weird's happening, now go dig in, it should be, here's a root cause and the symptom. And that should be proposed to you by a system that actually does the observing, that actually does the watching. And that's what Zebraim does. Yeah, that's awesome. And you're right. Last thing you want is just another alert and say go figure something out cause there's a problem. So how does it work, Larry? In terms of what you built there, could you take us inside the covers? Yeah, sure. So there's really, right now there's two kinds of data that we're ingesting. There's metrics and there's log file. Metrics, there's actually sort of a framework that's really popular in sort of DevOps circles, especially, but it's becoming popular everywhere, which is called Prometheus. And it's a way of exporting metrics so that scrapers can collect them. And so, like if you go look at a typical stack, you'll find that most of the open source components and many of the closed source components are gonna have exporters that export all their stats to Prometheus. So by supporting that stack, we can bring in all of those metrics. And then there's also the log files. And so you've got host log files in a containerized environment. You've got container logs and you've got application specific logs, perhaps living on a host mount.  But now what? So once you've got that, you've got a pile of unstructured logs. So what we do is we take a look at those logs. We say, let's structure those into tables, right? So where I used to have a sort of a log message, if I look in my log file and I see it says something like, X happened five times, right? Well, that event type's gonna occur again and it'll say X happened six times or X happened three times. So if I see that as a human being, right? I can say, oh, clearly that's the same thing. And what's interesting here is the times that X happened and that this number, right? I may wanna know when the numbers happened as a time series, the values of that column. And so you can imagine it as a table. So now I have a table for that event type and every time it happens, I get a row and then I have a column with that number in it. And so now I can do any kind of analytics I want almost instantly across my, if I have all my event type structured that way, everything changes. You can do real anomaly detection and incident detection on top of that data. So that's really how we go about doing it, how we go about being able to do autonomous monitoring in a way that's effective. How do you handle doing that for like the Spoke app? Do you have to, does somebody have to build a connector for those apps or how do you handle that? Yeah, that's a really good question. So you're right. So if I go and install a typical sort of log manager there'll be connectors for different apps. And usually what that means is pulling in the stuff on the left, if you were to be looking at that log line and it'll be things like a timestamp or a severity or a function name or various other things. And so the connector will know how to pull those apart and then the stuff to the right will be considered the message and that'll get sort of indexed for search. And so our approach is we actually go in with machine learning, we structure that whole thing. So there's a table and it's gonna have a column called severity and timestamp and function name and then it's gonna have columns that correspond to the parameters that are in that event. And it'll have a name associated with sort of the constant parts of that event. And so you end up with a situation where you've structured all of it automatically. So we don't need collectors. It'll work just as well on your homegrown app that has no collectors or no parsers defined or anything. It'll work immediately just as well as it would work on anything else. And that's important, right? Because you can't be asking people for connectors to their own applications. It's just, it becomes now they've got to stop what they're doing and go write code for you for your platform and they have to maintain it. It's just untenable. So you can be up and running with our service in three minutes. It'll just be monitor for you. That's awesome. I mean, that is really a breakthrough innovation. So nice, love to see that hit in the market. Who do you sell to? Both types of companies and what role within the company? Oh, well, definitely there's two main sort of pushes that we've seen. I should say pulls. One is from sort of DevOps folks, SRE folks. So these are people who are tasked with monitoring an environment basically. And then you've got people who are in engineering and they have a staging environment. And what they actually find valuable is, cause when we find an incident in a staging environment, yeah, half the time it's cause, you know, they're tearing everything up and it's not release ready, whatever's in stage. That's fine. They know that. But the other half the time it's new bugs. It's issues and they're finding issues. So it's kind of diverged. Like you have engineering users and I wouldn't, they're not, they don't have titles like QA. They're dev engineers or dev managers that are really interested. And then you've got sort of DevOps and SRE people that are interested. Go ahead and how do I consume your product? That's just the SaaS I sign up and you said within three minutes I'm up and running and I'm paying by the drill. Right. So there's a couple ways. So right. So the easiest way is if you use Kubernetes. So Kubernetes is what's called a container orchestrator. So these days, so, you know, Docker and containers and all that. So now there's, you know, container orchestrators have become, I wouldn't say ubiquitous, but they're very popular now. So it's kind of, it's kind of going, it's kind of on that inflection curve. I'm not exactly sure that penetration, but I'm going to say 30% probably of shops that we're interested are using container orchestrators. So if you're using Kubernetes, basically you can install our Kubernetes chart, which basically means copying and pasting the URL and so on into your little admin panel there. And then it'll just start collecting all the logs and metrics and then you just log in on the website. And the way you do that is just go to our website and it'll show you how to sign up for the service and you'll get your little API key and the link to the chart and you're off and running. You don't have to do anything else. You can add rules, you can add stuff in, but you don't have to. You shouldn't have to, right? You should never have to do any more work. That's great. And as I say, so it's a SaaS capability and I just pay for, how do you price it? Oh, right. So it's priced on volume, data volume. I don't want to go too much into it because I'm not the pricing guy, but what I'll say is that as far as I know, it's as cheap or cheaper than any other log manager or sort of metrics product. It's in that same neighborhood as the very low priced ones because right now we're not like, we're not trying to optimize for take. We're trying to make a healthy margin and get the value of autonomous monitoring out there right now, that's our priority. And it's running in the cloud. Is that right, AWS? Yeah, that's right. Yeah, that's right. Oh, I should have also pointed out, you can have a free account. If it's less than some number of gigabytes a day, we're not going to charge you. Yeah, so we run in AWS. We have a multi-tenant instance in AWS and we have a Vertica Eon cluster behind that and it's been working out really well. And on your freemium, you have used the Vertica Community Edition because they don't charge you for that, right? So is that how you do it or? No, no, we're, no, no. So I don't want to go into that because I'm not the biz dev guy, but what I'll say is that when you, if you're doing something that ends up being OEM-ish, you can work out the particulars with Vertica.   Yeah, and that's why I brought it up. It's a Vertica, they have a Community Edition which is not neutered. It runs Eon, it just has limits on clusters and storage, but yeah. So to your point, we want a multi-tenant, right? So it's big just because it's multi-tenant. We have hundreds of users on that. And then what's your partnership with Vertica like? Can we close on that and just describe that a little bit? What's it like? I mean, it's pleasant. We know what, so the important thing, so here's what's important. What's important is that I don't have to worry about that layer of our stack. Like when it comes to being able to get the performance I need, being able to get the economy of scale that I need, being able to get the absolute scale that I need, I have not been disappointed ever with Vertica. And frankly, being able to have ACID guarantees and everything else like a normal, mature database that can join lots of tables and still be fast, that's also necessary at scale. And so I feel like it was definitely the right choice to start with. Yeah, it's interesting. I remember the early days of big data, a lot of people said, who's going to need these ACID properties and all this complexity of databases, and of course, ACID properties and SQL became the killer features and functions of these databases. Yeah, we didn't see that one coming, right? Yeah, right.  Yeah, that's right. So I mean, so we're doing a launch probably, well, when this airs, it'll probably be the day before this airs. So basically, yeah, I mean, so we've finally, we've got people, we've got like literally in the last, I'd say six to eight weeks, it's just been this sort of, you know, peak of interest, all of a sudden, everyone kind of gets what we're doing, realizes they need it, and we've got a solution that seems to meet expectations. So it's like, it's been an amazing, let me just say this, it's been an amazing start to the year. I mean, at the same time, it's been really difficult for us, but more difficult for some other people that haven't been able to go to work over the last couple of weeks and so on, but it's been a good start to the year, at least for our business, so. Great, well, Larry, congratulations on getting the company off the ground and thank you so much for coming on theCUBE and being part of the Virtual Vertica Big Data Conference. Thank you very much. All right, thank you everybody for watching. This is Dave Vellante for theCUBE. Keep it right there, we're covering wall to wall, Virtual Vertica BDC, you're watching theCUBE.


See, this right here is what I like to hear. And it looks like the Ravens are trying to be careful with their wording and with their notifications as well because the first notification that we all got, we have activated Tyler Huntley, Justin Madder, BK, and Tony Jefferson from the COVID. Listen, of course, yesterday we know that Tyus Bowser, he got activated as well. So Ravens, when it comes to COVID, which has given the Ravens, not just the Ravens, but given the world a lot of bad news, but just keeping it with NFL specifically, COVID has given the Ravens a lot of bad news over the past 365 days because you know, Ravens like they done been through it. They done been through it when it comes to COVID like crazy. They done been through it, but they let us know that, but then they followed that up with Tyler Huntley will be available if Lamar Jackson isn't ready. You see that? So I think that they understand, hopefully, hopefully, hopefully, hopefully they understand that Lamar Jackson does not need to be rushed. We all saw the video from yesterday's practice. We all saw how Lamar was kind of like limping and like they like to say walking gingerly and whatnot. And it just, he wasn't looking like himself, but he ain't been looking like himself all year, even when he was playing. But that limp was significant. And again, I just, I'm fearful. Y'all know I'm very fearful of the situation. A lot of y'all are very fearful of the situation in hopes that the Ravens don't push something that doesn't need to be pushed. Now of course we all, we wanna see Lamar Jackson back. We wanna see Lamar come back. We wanna see Lamar Jackson playing for the Ravens. But I feel like so many fans, so many Ravens fans have been realistic with their understanding of the situation. And so many Ravens fans have been realistic with their expectations. I've seen so many Ravens fans say, oh, we would love to see Lamar come back, but if he's not all the way healthy, nope, don't wanna see him. It's a lot of Ravens fans that are very comfortable. Yeah, it would be unfortunate. But a lot of Ravens fans are very comfortable with waiting till next season to see Lamar Jackson play football again if he's not healthy this season. And I'm on the same page. I'm on the same exact page. But today's news, it does give us some hope for this season. Cause again, I know this season is things are looking very dim. It's not looking very bright. And you got a very, very tough game in a couple of days against the Rams at 1pm, not 425 anymore, remember that. But with Tyler Huntley being activated again, Tyler Huntley gives us somebody that we have confident. Well, a lot of us have confidence and I can't speak for everybody, but I myself would have confidence in him if Lamar Jackson can't go and if Lamar Jackson is not full go. Because just like Josh Johnson and Tyler Huntley and Greg Roman, we need to have a conversation about this. But anyway, just like Josh Johnson did this past Sunday and just like Tyler Huntley has done past Sundays, the quick passing game, they are able to be efficient with this Raven's offense. Now, something that Tyler Huntley adds that Josh Johnson doesn't is the mobility, the true mobility. Like Tyler Huntley can move. And I've said this before in my opinion this year, healthy Tyler Huntley has looked faster and quicker and just been a smoother runner than unhealthy Lamar Jackson has this year. Because we know again Lamar is not, he has not been Lamar. He has not been Lamar, that's not him. What we've seen when he's been running, that's not him. He definitely hasn't been fully healthy because he looks slower, he's looked more lethargic, he just hasn't looked himself. So Tyler Huntley, he gives you that added mobility. Now, and I'm just thinking about it, I'm thinking about it if Lamar plays, I'm thinking about it if Tyler Huntley plays and what worries me a lot about the play calling of this offense is not protecting the quarterback. And especially we see it so much with Lamar Jackson and it is so frustrating and so annoying, but we also see it with Tyler Huntley too. We said it in yesterday's video, we'll say it again right now, the QB draws, they gotta go. They throw them out, get rid of them. The design QB runs, toss them out the window. For these last two games, and hopefully there will be even more games in the playoffs, but for these last two games, I just want to see Greg Roman allow these quarterback, we know these quarterbacks are special. We know Lamar Jackson is special, we know Tyler Huntley is special, we get that. But let these quarterbacks be quarterbacks and let them make the decision on when they can run. Don't make it be a forced issue. Let their instincts take over because that's when it looks the best. Let them play instinctively and when they decide to run. Let it be when they decide, not when Greg Roman decides, because nine times out of 10, when Greg Roman decides, it's a bad decision. It's a bad decision. It really is. Now we know Greg Roman is capable of calling some good games. We've seen it, we've seen it. But again, the closing out of the games is what's the biggest issue. The situational play calling is what's the biggest issue. But Tyler Huntley, he allows the Ravens flexibility. And hopefully what Tyler Huntley does is with him being back, he allows the Ravens to be like, we got another option. We don't have to force Lamar out there. Lamar is not ready to be out there. And it's very scary to think about. It's very, because again, like you just, you want the franchise to make a smart decision when it comes to Lamar, but you're scared that the franchise might not make a smart decision when it comes to Lamar, because you know the franchise wants Lamar out there, the fans want Lamar out there, the media wants Lamar out there, everybody wants Lamar out there, but, if his body doesn't want him out there, then you cannot force the issue. Ravens, please be smart. Please be smart. Don't mess this up. I know y'all are tired of hearing me say it, but y'all don't do it. Don't do it. Please don't force it. If he ain't ready, if he ain't full go, please don't force it. I know we done said it plenty of times, over and over and over and over and over and over again. But I just, it's so important that they don't do it. Now, Justin Madabike, him getting activated off the COVID list. That's big too. That's big too. Obviously the quarters back situation is a lot bigger, but just this cannot go unnoticed. Justin Madabike, second year player on a defensive line. And while he hasn't had this super game changing second year that a lot of us expected him to have, he's still in an important piece of the defensive line. He's still an important part of the squad. And it's important that he, it's nice that he's ready. It's nice that he's ready and he's a full go now and he's back because the more defensive linemen, the merrier, the more defensive linemen, the better they can like, because defensive linemen, those are some big guys. Those are big fellas. And if you constantly got the same defensive linemen out there over and over and over again, then they're going to get tired and they have a higher chance of getting more tired faster because they don't have, they have less rotation with less guys being out there. But just to Madabike, somebody know that we can, that he can be explosive, that he can make some stuff happen. And he plays with a lot of high energy and you know Raven's boys with everything that they have been having going on this year, they need all the high energy that they could possibly get. So let's hope that that goes down. Let's hope that he can come back and he'll just be full go now. Another guy that they also activated too, Mr. Tony Jefferson. And with Tony Jefferson being back, that it's crazy that a guy who's literally been with the team, they cut him years ago. Of course he played for the Ravens for a couple of years. We know how it all ended with his ACL injury. But Tony Jefferson, one thing, you can question Tony Jefferson's coverage skills. Sometimes you could even question his tackling sometimes back then. But one thing that you can never question about Tony Jefferson, and I feel like the Ravens need guys that show more of that would be heart. It'd be heart, heart and effort. Because Tony Jefferson, he gonna give it his all. Straight, he is always going to give it his all, play in, play out. You can never question that. Is he the fastest? No, is he the strongest? Well, right now he might be, but you can never question his heart, ever. You can never question that attitude because remember, on his last play as a Raven before, not this run as a Raven, but his last play as a Raven before, he stopped the Steelers player from catching the ball. He stopped the play. Well, maybe not even from catching, but from scoring a touchdown. His ACL went out and he ended up pulling the Steelers player down. I forgot if he forced the incompletion or just tackled him, whatever it was, he didn't let the Steelers player make that play, make it a big play. So he went out like that. And then you see this dude been with the team. He came back, been with the team for what, couple weeks, they signed to the practice squad, and of course, everybody has already been hurt. So his first game, he had to play. And he played a little bit, but then really the second game, because his first game was against Green Bay, but his second game against the Bengals. Oh boy, that boy played, man. He played some football, man. And he bowed, he looked good. And of course he's been familiar with the defense, but he played the part and he played his role and he did his thing, he looked good doing it. And he showed heart, he showed effort. I remember the play, I think it was the last, what looked like it was gonna be a touchdown. And I was like, oh man, Tony Jefferson got scored on for the touchdown.  I wasn't even mad at it because Ravens were already getting whooped. The game was already over. But then they showed Tony Jefferson going like this in the end zone. I think it was Tyler Boyd, I believe. I forgot who it was. They showed him going like this. And I was like, Tony, nah, that's a touchdown. But then they showed a replay. And I was like, oh my. It's crazy that Ravens haven't been so decimated that game. I mean, really all year, but they haven't been so decimated that game and haven't just been torn apart that game. The defense was ripped to shreds that game.  The game was over already. Whether that's a touchdown or not. But the fact that Tony Jefferson still put his all out there. Because you've seen it before. We've seen it before this year where Ravens players have given up on plays. And guys that are starters too. We've seen guys just give up on plays. We saw it in the Raiders game on the last play of the game. We saw it in the other bingles game too. Where guys just were given up. They were given up. Not tackling, not trying to tackle, just watching guys run by past them. We've seen it from guys that are starters. But so when a guy comes to the practice squad, when a guy that's not even on the active roster comes in and shows heart like that. Oh man, that says a lot. That says a lot. So he, again, I wouldn't be surprised if Ravens ended up signing into a contract extension. He, I really wouldn't. I wouldn't. Like a one year extension, two years. I wouldn't be surprised. So we'll see what happens with that. But anyway, this is all good news for the Ravens getting all three of these guys back. And hey, hopefully we can get some more good news leading up into this game. Today's Thursday, we still got Friday for some more guys that potentially come back Saturday of course as well. And then Sunday, hopefully we get the best news of this week, meaning the Ravens get it win. And Lamar Jackson is still healthy regarding if he plays or not. Again, Ravens, if y'all watching this and if anybody watching this got any plugs to the Ravens and he connects to the Ravens, please let them know not to rush Lamar Jackson. Because he's already been out long enough. We don't need him being out any longer than he needs to be. Don't need this injury getting its own contract extension. We don't need that. We don't need that. So appreciate y'all. I love y'all. Please be smart Ravens. We out.


And welcome back today. What we're going to do is we're going to talk about solving quadratic inequalities by using algebra So the previous video that I did we did graphing inequalities One thing that we're going to do here today is we're going to solve quadratic inequalities using algebra So we're just going to use just our arithmetic Okay, just numbers and variables and that kind of stuff Okay, so we want to treat the first thing we want to do is we want to treat the inequality similar to an equation We want to solve for x now as we go through this This is going to be very very similar to what you already know about solving equations solving quadratic equations But this is also going to be very very different There's going to be some what we call critical points and there's some test areas that we're going to do So just try to stick with me on this So a lot of this is going to seem really really familiar and then some of this is going to be very very vague Some of this is going to be a kind of off the wall because maybe it may have been the first time you've seen this But anyway, so we want to treat the inequality similar to an equation We will solve for x so what I'm going to do is I'm just going to rewrite this I'm going to rewrite this as x squared plus 8x plus 20 is equal to 5 Okay, instead of an inequality symbol, I'm going to write an equal symbol It's going to make it easier for me to solve now what I want to do is I want to solve this like any normal equation Okay, when I want to solve quadratic equations, I want to get everything said equal to 0 So let's take this 5 subtract it over x squared plus 8x Plus 15 subtract that over equals 0 Okay, you always want to get everything on one side when you solve quadratic equations Okay, now there's a couple different ways we can solve quadratic equations We can either do factoring we can do completing the square or we can do the quadratic formula always try to do factoring first Factoring is so much easier than everything else. So I want to try to factor first Let's see if I can factor. Okay, so what I need is x is here in the front and then I need numbers So in this case, there's going to be either two positives or two negatives This tells me it's going to be two positives Okay, so 15 numbers that multiply to get 15 and then add to get 8. Oh, that's kind of easy. That's 3 and 5 Okay, 3 times 5 gives me 15 and then 3 plus 5 gives me 8. So there we go I factored pretty easily and then the solutions to this after you factor solutions to set each one of these parentheses equal to 0 x plus 3 equals 0 Equals 0 subtract 3 over x is equal to negative 3 same thing here x plus 5 Equals 0 subtract that 5 over x equals negative 5. Okay, so those those are my two solutions now When we're now with a normal quadratic equation, we would be done. Here's our answers. Here's our solutions. We're done But now with an inequality. We're looking for a range of solutions. We're looking for a lot of solutions Not just one or two numbers. We're looking for a bunch of numbers. Okay, so now these are not solutions These are not solutions. Don't don't don't get me. Don't get me wrong. They're important. They're just not solutions These are what we call critical points Critical I can spell correctly critical points Okay, now these are critical points for our inequality that we're going to use so now remember whenever we do inequalities We we usually have Our answers also include inequalities and we also graph a lot of these so we can get a better idea of what all the solutions are So that's what I'm going to do. I'm going to take I want to take a number line Okay, I'm gonna take a number line and I'm gonna take the points negative three negative five So negative five is over here. I got negative four here and then I got to negative three here So here's negative two put negative six over here Okay, here are my critical points five and negative three are my critical points Okay, now what I want to do here is I want to figure out what numbers that I plug in for x here That are going to give me an answer that's greater than or equal to five So there's a bunch of different numbers that are going to give me the ability to do that I just need to find them now what these critical points are these kind of give me the Boundaries of what points are actually going to work what x's are actually going to work Okay, so but they now the thing is that those are my boundaries now I have to figure out kind of what other numbers are going to work So negative five like it's negative six and negative seven all these numbers are to work is negative four going to work Pay negative two and negative from the one and zero are these numbers over here going to work things like that So what we're gonna what we have to do here is? After we find these critical points what we also need to do is we need to find some test points Okay, so I'm going to do a little bit of labeling here. So critical critical Points we'll abbreviating here. Okay of negative five and negative three now I want to test some certain numbers These numbers that I'm going to test are going to be around my critical points now since I have two critical points I have three areas. I have three areas. You know what? Let me put some let me put some circles here So here's there's a circle from five circle three I have three different areas that could be solutions to this inequality This right here is an area anything that's smaller than negative five. That's an area Okay, anything that's between negative five and negative three That's my second area that could work. Okay, and then this area over here any number. That's bigger than negative three That's my third area that could work and now what I have to do is I simply just have to test a Number inside of all three of those areas to see which areas are going to work That's basically what I have to do. Okay. So in this case we call these test points. So in this case test Points will abbreviating here test points. I'm gonna test out a couple of different points in this case I'm gonna test out now again when you have a choice of what numbers to choose try to choose numbers that are easy to work with So in this case, I'm gonna choose. I'm gonna choose negative six negative six is in this area So that's my first point. I'm gonna test in between here negative four is another point that I'm going to test and then now over here Now you might think I'll just test negative two now Actually, there's an easier number to work with negative one is here and zero is also over here So I'm actually gonna use zero to test to see if this area right here is a solution So actually zero is gonna be my third test point. Okay, I love working with zero You should really love working with zero. It's very easy to add subtracts multiply We can't divide by zero, but it's very very easy to do most of your operations with zero So you should always try to use zero if you have a choice Okay now the reason we call these test points is we're actually gonna take these points We're gonna take all three of these points one at a time And we're going to plug them into this inequality and we're gonna figure out if they work Yes, or no, do they work? Okay, so this takes a little bit of arithmetic just a little bit of arithmetic arithmetic Excuse me, but this is kind of the fastest most efficient way to figure this out Okay, so the first thing I'm gonna do is take in plug in negative six. So take negative six squared plus eight times negative six and then plus 20 and is that going to be greater than or equal to five, okay? All right, so Negative six squared is 36 and then this is going to be negative eight times six is 48 plus 20 Is that going to be greater than or equal to five? So I got that question mark there So in this case get the positive numbers together first. So this is going to be 56 56 minus 8 is going or minus 48 is going to be 6 so 6 is greater than or equal to 5 this does work Okay, so we know that negative 6 actually does work. Okay, it actually it actually works in this equation So let's let's try the other numbers case. So let's try negative negative 4. All right So now we're going to take negative 4 plug it in negative 4 plus 20 is that going to be greater than or equal to Five is that gonna be greater than equal to five now one thing I have with this board Which I haven't used yet is the color so one thing I'm going to do is see if I can let me do it Oh, let me do it. Oh never mind So I was gonna change colors, but that's not gonna work for me this time. So let's get back to work So we're gonna do as I have 16 Plus four times eight is 32. So that's actually gonna be a negative 32. Let's just put a negative sign there Okay, so it was 16 and then the negative 32 and then plus 20 so in this case 16 and 20 make a 30 What is that 36 36 and then minus 32 is 4 Which is not less than or equal to 5 so this is this one doesn't work This one doesn't work. So this one here is just a no I know of them on the edge of my screen here, but this one doesn't work. This one's a big no Okay, that one's a big no Last but not least what I have and I'm gonna do my work kind of right here for this one I'm gonna have zero okay, so now I'm gonna plug in zero and again zero is really easy to work with So I like working with zero Is that greater than or equal to five so zero squared is zero plus eight times zero is zero plus 20 And you can see very quickly that actually 20 is greater than five. So that one actually does work Okay, now all that work. Okay, all that arithmetic to figure this out now Why do we do that? Basically what that tells us is that this area over here? This area actually works. That was the check mark this area here with the negative four all this work down here That tells us this one here is a no we can't use that area It's not gonna be part of our solution Okay, and then the zero area when we plugged in the zero that one actually worked this area over here So basically what that tells us is that our solutions are going to be this way and This way on our inequality. Okay now one thing I also have to think about with these graphs Is that do we actually include negative five and negative three that as I look back up to my work? This is a greater than or equal to science to the or equal to tells us yes that we actually do include those points Okay, so actually this right here is kind of a visual This is a visual on what the graph of this looks like what all the numbers what all my solutions are and Now what I'm gonna do is I'm actually gonna write that out okay using inequality So I'm at this part right here these X's are less than or equal to negative five. So X can be less than or equal to Negative five and then also this region over here X's can be greater than or equal to negative three X's can be greater than or equal to negative three there we go and If you want to write this depending on what your teacher wants if Sometimes teachers allow you to write this as to inequalities like I have here like this right here, or some teachers meant it that you have to write these as as a Combined inequality. So if you want to combine them together Basically what we can do is this one's in order flip this one around. So negative five is Greater than or equal to X and then combine it with this one X is greater Excuse me. Yeah greater than or equal to negative three. And so there's our combined inequality I think either one of these would work again For my students I allow them to write two inequalities because there's two regions here two regions So two inequalities that just make sense to me, but some teachers mandate that you have to they require I should say that you have to write it as a single kind of combined inequality. Okay, so that's all of our work for that Okay, now that's a lot of work. Let me go back through that real quick So first thing we want to do when we're solving quadratic inequalities by using algebra Treat the inequality similar to an equation solve for X So we take this inequality. We set it equal to zero and we solve for X now when you're solving a quadratic equation You can either solve using factoring Completing the square or the quadratic formula and there's a couple other methods, but those are the main three I would suggest always try to factor first and that actually what's what worked here If factoring doesn't work then try to use the quadratic formula quadratic formula will always work. Okay So anyway, we factored we said our parentheses equal to zero and we got these these these points here Now these are critical points critical points. Okay. These are not solutions. These are just critical points Now these critical points I put them on a number line and then what I found the after I found the critical points I found test points and the test points are points that are in certain regions So it was to the left of negative five in between negative five and negative three right here and then over here on the right side So all three of these points were in these certain areas Okay, now take these numbers and then and I know it's a lot of arithmetic But take all those numbers and then just plug them in individually back into your inequality Okay, so then we plugged in negative six found out that it did work We plugged in negative four found out it did not work and then we plugged in zero and we found out that it did work So that tells us that this region worked this region does not work This region does work and so that gives us the two regions of for our solution So the X's are less than or equal to negative five the X's are greater than or equal to negative three Okay, so those are my that's my solution here or you can also write it as a combined inequality again It depends on what your teacher is asking you to do For me for my purse for for my students what I do is I use this one right here I think that's okay because that also shows me that there's two regions For this inequality but some students some teachers will will require you to write as a combined inequality And that's how what you would have right there, okay? Little bit lengthy, but once you go through a couple of these problems You'll you'll fly through these pretty quickly because it's actually relatively straightforward. Yes There's a lot of arithmetic that you have to go through there's a lot of calculating a lot of algebra They have to go through but for the most part it is pretty straightforward Okay, solve it find the critical points take those critical points find test points around it use those test points plug them into your quadratic inequality and then that tells you what regions do work and do Not work and then the regions that do work are going to be your solution. Okay? That's kind of a very long summary of that. All right. Thank you for watching. I hope you hope you enjoyed this video And we'll see you next time


Are we nurses? Yes! And this hospital run without us? No! Do our patients need us? Yes! Do we need safe staffing? Yes! Do we need our contract to be honored? Yes! Is that why we're out here? Yes! On Thursday, January 12th, thousands of New York City nurses won a historic victory at two hospitals that have been on strike this past week. Over 7,000 nurses fighting for safe patient to staff ratios, won better staffing ratios with firm enforcement at Mount Sinai and Montefiori hospitals after only three days of striking. Nurses are celebrating a victory that will ensure the safety of their patients, they said. Over 7,000 New York City nurses won on strike on Monday, January 9th. Nurses from Mount Sinai and Montefiori hospitals in New York City mobilized demanding safe patient to staff ratios, fair wages and to maintain existing healthcare benefits. This action was authorized by the nurses on December 21st with an overwhelming vote of 98.8% in support of the strike. Initially, around 16,000 nurses from eight different hospitals were set to strike. However, hospital bosses reached tentative agreements with the nurses to avert a strike at several hospitals. Everyone here is in solidarity with us to fight for better staffing and for better wages and for better, you know, healthcare in general. You know, we here, we fight for our patients and today we're here fighting for ourselves. Yeah, we're done being gassed up by nurses saying that we're doing the wrong thing and that we're irresponsible, we're not irresponsible, they're irresponsible because they've let it get to this point and we've been screaming and trying our hardest to try to get them to listen to us and do something about it and they're not and unfortunately it leads to this. We would rather be in there doing what we love and want to return to doing that. So I hope for the wealthier of everyone we reach on agreement. I'm picking up my sister now from the hospital. She is over the moon with the care she got. Even though you guys were looming on a strike, the care was still consistent and beautiful. And I thank you for that. Here's a message for the management, okay? Because this is about patient safety. It's about money, but these nurses deserve it. That's right. Because let me tell you something. Management messes you guys over during the pandemic, okay? Over 500 positions over, they should have hired more nurses. Second of all, what they did was they hired outside nurses and paid them $100 an hour. So that gave them five-star hotels to stay in. Okay? Yeah, we'd be thanking them for the service, but that shouldn't have been able to happen. Okay? We should have had enough nurses here. I'm picking places and there's another hospital down the street. This doesn't make any sense. You guys deserve it, you're supposed to get it and even more. The understaffing issue is one of the underlying challenges facing nurses, contributing to grueling schedules and unsafe patient to staff ratios. They argue that today, nurses are leaving the profession at increasingly high rates due to low wages and high stress. NYSNA, a nurses union in New York, argues that by hiring more staff and paying nurses more for their work, hospitals could address the shortage. Instead of making these investments, the hospital executives paid themselves tens of millions in bonuses during the height of the pandemic and have refused to take nurses' demands seriously. 22 years of working in Montgomery, unfortunately it has been breaking my heart to see that our brown and black people of this community is not getting the care that they need. The care that they deserve, the care that they deserve. So we really need to give them quality care and not quantity. It's quality and this is what we provide to them as nurses. We have so many patients that came to me this week and said, you know what, you deserve it. Go on strike because you deserve it. You listen to me, you're always the first one that advocates for me and you are the one that makes the whole department flow. So us as nurses, there is strength. We have strength, we have the power, we run this. We have to stick together at all times, at all times. And it is quality care that we give.
