we will calculate our oxidation number see how will we do here potassium is always ! so how much will be Lorenzo ? 2 plus 2 plus 2x minus 14 तो मुझे एकसका वाल। find out करना हैं तो कितना आयागा? एकसका वाल। should be here 14 minus 2, 12 divided by 2, 6 plus 6 खरेग दाख मेंस, ख्रोम्यम अप्सटीशन नमबर I have got is what? plus 6 ख्रोम्यम अप्सटीशन नमबर I have got is what? plus 6 ख्रोम्यम अप्सटीशन नमबर I have got is what? plus 6 वालो... कु Unters कितना हो भाप्ससा क znajdu क्सका लगी हैं अप्सटीशन नमबर two is लेके हमारे पास 3 सल्फेट आयान है, तो this 2 should be multiplied by 3. है नहीं होगा नहीं. औरे, क्या बाते है? मेरे इरेजर is not working. आप, नहीं होगफुले it should work. जो लो, तो यहाँ पर क्या एक को 3 से multiply करना है. आप, 3 into minus 2. ती के अभी क्या हो जाए का? मैंगडीजर, पहुत अपोखो. और बब औब प्रोड्ँग सब नहीं होगे पास 3. अप अब पच्गट मबा होगा होगा रही, अप मैंवार बावर में वगा देखुग बावर होगा. in any of its compound so example, sorry options what is boron boron is its negative oxidation state its positive oxidation state it can be bf3, if i say compound bf3 so fluorine here, fluorine is negative so what will be boron, it will be positive it is minus 1 so it will be minus 1 into 3 this will be plus 3 correct, now if i talk about oxygen so oxygen B minus 2 plus 1 plus 1 oxidation state correct, that is possible if we talk about chlorine so chlorine also comes in positive oxidation state if you have heard the name of hypochlorous acid hypochlorous acid hypochlorous acid at C-L-O what happens in this is chlorine is in positive oxidation state this is minus, hydrogen plus 1 and chlorine is available in one positive oxidation state so now what is left is fluorine now note one thing fluorine is the most electronegative element so its oxidation number will never be positive till now no compound has come which shows fluorine positive oxidation state correct so when such a question will come then without thinking there is no need to think about the compound oxygen and chlorine there is no need to think about it in fluorine option click on fluorine fluorine can never have positive oxidation state done, next question amino acid formed by decomposition of which of the compound okay, carbohydrate, starch, protein or fat so amino acid amino acid whose monomer is it what is made of amino acid okay, what is made of amino acid protein in our body okay, what is made of amino acid protein so when my body will digest protein will break down of protein what will it get amino acid will get because small molecules of amino acid combined with protein so when I will break all the bonds of amino acid then what will happen protein will be separated in amino acid so what does protein decompose after being digested so correct answer should be what C protein carbohydrate, starch etc after being digested after being decomposed we make glucose okay right and this is made of amino acid okay, so we will see next question loss of electron is called now loss of electron loss of electron what happens give some pressure on mind think what happens again and again question comes in every video I explain again this time I am not going to explain you have to think what happens think let's use one short form for this oil and rig or if I write it like this oil rig oil is loss of electron oxidation is loss of electron oil is oxidation is loss of electron okay oxidation are oxidation oxidation is loss of electron oil oxidation is loss of electron okay rig reduction is gain of electron so let's write it on reduction reduction is gain of electron so oxidation is loss of electron reduction is gain of electron now tell me what is the answer my child is not so duffer what is the correct answer b loss of electron is called oxidation let's move on to next question okay in 37th question we have assertion and reason assertion and reason many students tell me ma'am it is very difficult many options are correct how to understand is the reason correct explanation or not so what is the most important thing for this is that you have to practice many questions as you practice questions then concepts will be clear concepts will be clear then there will be confidence then what will happen so are you sure that explanation is correct reason or not or is the reason correct explanation or not 37th question we have assertion copper oxide react with hydrogen and form copper and bottom it is a redox reaction copper is losing oxygen hydrogen is gaining oxygen oxidation is happening definitely this is our redox reaction assertion is correct next reason inner redox reaction ten is reduced by accepting electron reductant is reduced by accepting electron and oxidant is oxidized by losing electron oxidant is oxidized by losing electron so see first reductant reductant called reducing agent what is this? reducing agent and what is oxidant? oxidizing agent Now reducing agent. reducing agent what happens is reducing agent is a substance which gets oxidised Because reducing agent of the agent forces the opposite It's a form of a reduction You don't want to do a reduction to the opposite So reducing agent is reduced Then reducing agent is oxidised Do you understand what I'm explaining?

Sulfur plus water If you see the reaction Then you will know See what is happening This is converting into sulphur By loss of hydrogen By loss of hydrogen That means for oxidation Oxygen means water That means gain of hydrogen Gain of hydrogen means what? Reduction What is happening here Loss of hydrogen, gain of hydrogen Oxygen reduction These are happening The reason is Oxygen involves removal of hydrogen Reduction involves addition of hydrogen We have got the correct reason Did it come or not Assertion means both are true And the reason is My correct explanation of Assertion A option is Absolutely right A option is correct answer Let's see the 40th question What is it? Wait a minute Assertion We have SO2 and chlorine Sulfur dioxide and chlorine Both are reducing agent Both are reducing agent Both are reducing agent Both are reducing agent See Sulfur dioxide Sulfur dioxide But it gives temporary bleaching And temporary bleaching It reduces the colour of our particular compound That is why it gets temporary Bleaching So it shows bleaching action Due to reduction Of the coloured compound Right By reducing By reducing Other compound But if I talk about chlorine So chlorine is also good reducing Bleaching agent But its bleaching action Works on oxidation reaction See how Try to understand me When we use chlorine powder We use chlorine powder We react with water And produce nascent oxygen That oxygen's one atom Which is very reactive So it produces nascent oxygen What does nascent oxygen do We react with coloured compound And remove colour from it That's why this is what Permanent oxidation And why is this Because of oxidation Or by oxidation Oxidation Process Correct So that means There will be one reducing agent One oxidizing agent The reason is not correct There is option C The reason is true But the reason is false That's why my option C Is the correct answer Right So today's 40 questions done I will come with Next ten questions See you take care Take care Do your work And post your doubts in comments Bye


Income tax 2021-2022, child tax credit and other dependent credit Excel worksheet. Get ready to get refunds to the max, dive in into income tax 2021-2022. Lassert tax software. You don't need tax software to follow along, but you might wanna have access to the forms and schedules which you can find on the IRS website at irs.gov, irs.gov. We're gonna primarily be focused on the schedule 8812, credit for qualifying children and other dependents, and that's gonna feed into the form 1040. Let's look at the general scenario on the form 1040, single filer Adam Smith, living in Beverly Hills 90210. We've got the one dependent that we're gonna start out with, Sam Smith, son, qualifies for the child tax credit. We're gonna start with the 60,000 of the wages, and then we have the 12,550 standard deduction that gets us to the 47,450 taxable income. Let's mirror that over here on our Excel worksheet. We're gonna have W-2 income of the 60,000. That's gonna flow in here, 12,550. That gets us to the 47,450 taxable income, which we see here. No calculation based on the dependent yet because it's a credit, not a deduction. We'll be dealing with page two tax calculations starting at the 6193, 6193, which I'll plug in here, 6193, I believe it was. Is that right? That's correct. And so now we're looking at the credit, which is calculated down here on line 28. That's going to be the refundable child tax credit. It's coming from, of course, schedule 8812. So let's go back on over to 8812. Now you might just basically rely on the software to do the calculation, but reputing it together in Excel could give you kind of that double check and give a better understanding or grasp of what is happening. So we'll put in a more kind of simplified worksheet to get a general idea so the worksheet can do some calculations for us on it, just for the fun of it here. So we're gonna then go on over and say we've got then the credit that we're gonna be putting into place. I wanna put my new form in place here. Actually they already have one. This is the form 8812 child tax credit and other dependent credit. So I'm just gonna add a little bit of room here so that I have some place to work. I'm gonna delete the totals. I'm gonna put new totals if I need it. I'm gonna add some room under the child tax credit. Let's make it a little bit larger. And I'm just gonna add a whole bunch of cells in here so I got a lot of space and I'm just gonna insert. And I'm gonna do this fairly quickly just to get a general idea of what is going on. So if I go back on over to my worksheet then, and I'm gonna go to line 12, we've got then the basically the amount pulling in from our AGI here on line number one. So that's 60,000s pulling in from the 1040 down here with the adjusted gross income, the 60,000. And so that's where this number is coming from. And then we've got up top number of qualifying children under age 18. And then we've got the number of children included in 4A who were under six. Because remember, we have that two-tier threshold of children under 18, but under six is a higher amount of the credit than the other. And then we've got the main worksheet here. So this is the main worksheet that we can be drawing from. So it says here, we're gonna say, number one, multiply the 8812 line 4B by 3,600. 4B being the children that are under six, multiply times the greater amount. And then multiply schedule 8812 line 4C by 3,000. Those are the children that are six to 18. So if I was to mirror that here, I could say, okay, so I'm gonna say, let's say we've got number of qualifying children, let's say QC for qualifying children under age six. And then we're gonna multiply that times the amount per child, which is going to be 3,600. And then I'm gonna put another one. This is gonna be number of qualifying children age over, let's say over six to 18. And that's gonna be the number there that I'll put. And then I'll say the amount per child is gonna be 3,000 there. Now let's change our scenario a bit so that we have one of each of those. I've got one child that's under six. Let's add another one that is between six and 18. So I'm gonna say let's add another child that's between six and 18 here. So that's, I think that will do it. And so now if I go to the form 1040, you've got two children, both qualifying for the child tax credit, but for two different tiers of it, because one's under six and one's between six and 18. So actually no, they're both qualifying for the one. So one needs to be older. We need an older one. We gotta have an older one so one can babysit the other one while we go. Okay, so the one's older. So now we've got the two, and so now we've got these two different children that are included here that are of qualifying for the two different kinds of calculations. So if I mirror that on over here, I can say, okay, so now I can put my data input field. Now these ones, I'm gonna make the data input fields blue and everything else. So let's actually make this whole thing non blue first, and then I'll try to add the blue only to the data input fields that we're gonna put data in. So I'm gonna put data in to this field. Gonna make that blue and data into this field. So I'm gonna say one here, and I got one here. I'm gonna put the total in the outer column. So I'm gonna multiply this out one times 3600. This is gonna equal one times to 3000. So there's our full amount. So this would be the child tax credit. Child tax credit, if nothing else was going on, let's say before phase outs. So you would think that would be basically what we would have before phase outs and let's say and prepayments, prepayments. So we got phase out prepayments that we're gonna basically have to deal with then well let's just say, let's keep the prepayments out of it at this point. We're just gonna say before the phase outs for now and we'll put that in the outer column equals the sum of these two. So that's what it would be.  Let's put an underline here and let's put an underline here. So now we're gonna have stuff that goes on related to basically a phase out based on the AGI level. So now we've got the add these together. There's the 6,600 and then we're gonna multiply schedule 8812 outline 4A by 2,000. And you can see 4A right here is has the number of children. So we're gonna take the number of children times 2,000 in essence. So I'll put that here. We're gonna say qualifying children. I'm gonna have to add these two boxes together equals I'm gonna say brackets of this box plus this box closing the brackets times 2,000. So there's our 4,000 that we have in our example here. And then we subtract line four from three to get to the 2,600. So I'll do that here. I'm gonna say this is gonna be this minus this to get to 2,600. I'll put an underline here to see that. So there we have that subtotal. And then if I go back on over, now we've got these amounts per the filing status. So we could use a tricky or fancy Excel worksheet to kind of pull over and match out the filing status. But I'm just gonna put these amounts in there. Married filing joint 12,005, qualified widow, 2005, head of household 4,375, all others 2,650. So I'm just gonna list those out here and say, okay, I'm gonna say, married filing joint, qualified widow. We've got head of household and we've got all others. I'm gonna indent those, selecting these items and indenting them a bit. And then I'm gonna put the amounts they gave us, which was 12,5, hopefully I get these right, two, five, four, three, seven, five, and the six, two, five, oh. And then I'm gonna pick the one that applies. We have a single filer for us. So I'm gonna be picking then this one. I'm gonna make these blue because I want to, let's actually make just one of them. I won't try to pick each one of them. I'll always put whichever one applies into this cell. So I'll make that one blue. So that one's gonna be this one. In that case, if it was married filing joint, then I would say it's this one, right? So we don't have multiple different cells that will mess up other formulas. And then what are we gonna do? It says we're gonna enter the smaller, we're gonna enter the smaller, enter the smaller of five and six, okay? So I'm gonna say here smaller of, smaller, smaller of. I have to use a logic function between these two to do that. I'll use an if function equals if brackets. If this cell is less than this cell, then, that's when you hit a comma, then what I want you to do is pick up that cell. If it's smaller, but if it's not smaller, comma, that's what the comma means. Then I want you to pick up that cell, close the brackets, there it is. So now if this one was smaller, like two, it would pick up that cell. So we've got our if then logical function happening. So then it says enter the amount shown below for your filing status. These are kind of like the thresholds or phase outs that you can look at. Now I'd like to see what my AGI is. So I'm actually gonna add my AGI in my worksheet right here. The AGI adjusted gross income. And I'm gonna pick that up from the first page of the form 1040, 1040 first page. Here's the AGI 60,000, where we are at this time. I'm gonna have these amounts from the table again, amounts per filing status. And so these are basically the phase out amounts that we have here, married filing joint, qualified widow, widower, 150,000, head of household, the 12,000, 500, all other 75,000.  Now we're filing single right now. So our phase out would be 75, we're at 60. So we shouldn't have those phase outs. I'm gonna use the same filing statuses we had up top. I'm gonna indent them. And then I'm gonna put those amounts in here, 150, married filing joint. Same for qualified widow, widower, one, one, two, 500, head of household, and 75,000 here. And I'm just gonna pick the one that applies, which is the single filer making that blue. So we're gonna have to pick that one out. We could use a fancy formula to let Excel do that for us, but I'm gonna pick the filing status and have to do the data input, which is a little less fancy, but it is what it is, okay? So that's, so then what do we do? We're gonna say then after that, we're gonna say that enter the amount shown below, subtract line eight from schedule 8812 from line three, if zero or less enter zero, if more than zero and not a multiple of 1,000, enter the next multiple of 1,000. And I think that means we're basically rounding up, I believe, to multiples of 1,000. So let's say that we're gonna say that this is a subtract, subtract, subtract, not below zero, zero round up 1,000 to the nearest thousand, is what I'm trying to say with all of that garbage that I just put right there. So what I'm gonna say, we could first say we're gonna take the lesser of these items, or we're gonna subtract these items, and if it goes below zero, we're gonna enter zero. Obviously this one's going below zero. So first I can say with an if logic function, I can say well equals if, so we're gonna say here equals if brackets, and then I'm gonna put another pair of brackets, we're gonna put the argument in this cell minus this cell, and then I'm gonna close up that argument, if that minus that is less than zero, then that's when I put a comma, then I want you to put zero there, but if it's not comma, that's the other comma, then I want you to do the subtraction, which I, let's put brackets around it again, which is this minus this, closing the brackets, and then closing the whole bracket thing again, and it puts a zero there. Now let's make it a little bit more interesting and make this 100,000 by going to the, by going to my income, let's say W2 income was 100,000, now we're over the phase out, that flows into the income here, and that would then flow into my worksheet here, so now we have a positive 25,000, let's match that in our Excel worksheet, just to check it out and say W2 income, now is at 100,000, to test this out, forms, let's go to here, we're gonna say okay, so now we're at the 100,000, and we're gonna go into here, so now we're at the 25,000, just to make it a little bit more tricky, because we wanted to round it now to the nearest thousand, so this one's too nice and rounded, let's say we went back on over here, and said it was a 100, 100,400, what's it gonna do with that, going back on over, and going to my forms, and take a look at it again, so now it rounded it, even though it was 400 up, it rounded it up to 26,000, so now I'm going over here and saying, oh man, what am I gonna do, what if this was 104, and I pull that over, and so now I pull that over, so now I wanna round it up, it needs to round up to 26,000, so I gotta round this up now, how am I gonna do, how in the world, let's go back, let's double click on this last argument, I've gotta say, I don't want you just to subtract it, I want you to round it up to the closest thousands, so I'm gonna add in here a round up formula, round up, round them up, and then I'm gonna say there it is, and then I'm gonna go to the end of this and say comma, so now it says number of digits, and negative three represents the thousands digits, so negative three, and then it's gonna close it up, I need another bracket, okay, add the bracket, so there it is, it rounded it up to 26,000, so there we have a bit of a fancy formula, so let's go back on over, and then it says after we do that fancieness, it says multiply line nine by 5%, so I'm gonna say times 5% times the rate, let's say of 0.05, this is gonna be part of the phase out calculation, let's make that a percent, and then I'm gonna say this is gonna be, I'll just call it a subtotal subtote, which is gonna be equal to this amount of the 26 times the 5%, okay, so let's see what else we've got there, so there's the 1,003, enter the smaller of line seven or 10, so seven or 10, so I think that is between this number and this number, so I'm gonna take the smaller of those two, so I'm gonna say okay, let's put that over here, smaller of, and this will basically be the phase out, phase out, then it's gonna be the smaller of these two numbers, so I'm gonna say equals if, there's another if thing, equals if brackets, if this number is smaller than this number, then that's when we do a comma, I want you to take this one, if it's smaller, if not comma, that's what that means when you say, if it's not then, I want you to take this one, so it's gonna take the smaller of that 1,300, and so that's gonna give us then a subtotal here, we've got the subtotal, subtotal, or this will basically be the child tax credit, credit, which is going to be equal to this number up here, before the phase out minus the phase out, so there we got the 5,300, so their bottom line, there's our 5,300, so we basically kind of recreated this calculation, and then we gotta take into consideration now number six, which is basically the other dependents that come into play here, so let's say we had another dependent, let's add another one, so now we've got this other person here, we're gonna go to page one, we've got Sam, Jane, children, one under six, one over six, but below 18, and then T Smith, which is an other dependent, which doesn't qualify for the child tax credit, but for the other credit. Okay, let's go back on over, and now let's say now we've got the other credit, which we have a one here, and we're gonna multiply that times the rate, which is gonna be 500, so I'm gonna go back on over and say okay, so now we've got then the other dependent credit, number of dependents, let's say one, and let's get rid of this whole blue thing for now, removing the blue, removing the blue for now, so we've got one there, and then we're gonna multiply that amount per dependent, which is 500, 500 per dependent, and so then I'm gonna put that, let's put that on the outside here, so it's lining up with this column, this equals this times this, so this is gonna be total other dependent credit before phase outs or anything like that, and so then we're gonna go back on over, so now we've got that 500, and so now we're gonna add those together, so that's gonna be the 5,800, so this is gonna be then, I'm gonna say okay, this is the total child tax credit and other dependent credit before phase outs, summing up, let's put this in the outer column here, equals the sum of all this stuff, so now we're at the 5,800, and then we could possibly have some phase out stuff here where it says the income's a little bit high, enter the amount below for filing status, married filing joint, all others, so 400 or 200,000, so okay, so we got, we're gonna say then we've got per filing status, and we've got married filing joint and all others, I'm gonna indent these two, a little indentation, and this is gonna be 400,000 and 200,000, and we're gonna pick one of those, so for us we have the 200,000, so I'm gonna pick up the 200,000, I'm gonna make this blue because we're gonna have to kind of figure out which one we should pick there between those two, and then it says subtract line nine from three, if zero or less enter zero, if more and not a multiple of 1,000, enter the next multiple of 1,000, for example, so we got the same kind of issue, obviously it's zero here because that's a fairly high threshold for a single filer, but let's go above it just so we can see that we could say, okay, well what if my income was above 200,000, like it was like two, one, oh, and then let's say oh, 300, so wait a second, that's too high, 200,300, so now it's a thousand, it's gonna round it up to 1,000 over that I believe, so I'm gonna say okay, let's see what that does, so now we're gonna say, see now it rounded, we're over the 200,000 by just $300, and it rounded it up to 1,000, so okay, so now we've got that weirdness happening again, so let's mirror that over here, let's say that we went over here and said that our income was 203, and that pulls into page one, and that's gonna pull in over here, so now we've gotta say that we gotta subtract these two out, which is gonna be my income, which is the 300,000 minus this, but round it to the 1,000, so it's gonna be, and if it's less than that, it's gonna be zero, so I'm gonna say okay, here it is, so it's gonna be if brackets, and I'm gonna say if this number up top, my 203 AGI minus this, and is less than, and I gotta put brackets around this argument because it's an addition and subtraction, if that's less than zero, then comma, I want you to put a zero there, but if it's not comma, then I want you to do the argument of brackets, this minus this, that's what we'll start off with, so there it is, there's the 300, so there's the 300, and so if this was something less than 100,000, it would put zero there, okay, so now I've gotta add, I've gotta make it, okay, now it's 300, I need to round it up to the next multiple of 1,000, so I'm gonna go back into here and add my rounding up to 1,000 before this last argument, round up brackets, and so this minus this, and then comma to the number of digits, which is negative three for 1,000s, so negative three, and enter, it's gonna close up the brackets, I need one more, so there is our 1,000 there, okay, and then it says multiply line 10 by 5%, so I go back on over and say, let's multiply it times 5% times a rate of 5%, 0.05, making that a percent, making that a percent, and so that's gonna give us our subtotal of another, so this is a subtotal, or this is gonna be a phase out, let's call it, I'm gonna put that into, should I put that into an outer column? This is gonna be a phase out, this is the, well let's put in the outer column, this is gonna be this times this, the $50 phase out, and this was the credit before the phase out, let's actually pull this whole thing, I'm gonna pull this whole thing over, so there we have it, so this is where we were before the phase out, then we have the phase out, which finally gets us to line 12, which is subtract line, this is gonna be the credit, so this is gonna be the credit amount, credit, this is gonna be CTC, and OCD, other DDC, credit, credit, so I'm gonna say this is gonna be equal to, let's put it in the outer column, this minus this, so there we have that, but then we also had the prepayments that we put into place, so if I go down here and say, okay, but we're gonna check line 13 and say, but then we made, we got prepayments from that, all right, and then it actually gets a little bit messy down here as well, but I'm not gonna go into a lot of the detail on this because we're getting kinda short on time, so I'm gonna say, okay, this is the amount that we got on the prepayment, which we're gonna say is the 1,800 from the letters 6419, so I'm gonna say, this is the advanced child tax credit payments that we got, which I said was 1,800, so 1,800, 1,800, so that's gonna give us the CTC and ODC available, available for, available at this point, let's say that, it's gonna be equal to the 4450 minus the 1,800, let's do that one more time, something went wrong, horribly, horribly wrong, and that's gonna be the 2,650, the 2,650, and then I'm just gonna break them out between the two credits, which is gonna be the O, ODC, which I'm gonna say is still equal to, and this is of course a simplification, is still equal to that 500, so the CTC is gonna be the difference between the two, this minus this, and it's important to break those out because this one up top is gonna be non-refundable, usually typically, and then this one down here is the refundable, so if I go back on over to my first page here, we've got the credits, these are gonna be the non-refundable, where I'm gonna put the ODC, this is gonna be equal to scrolling over this portion, the 500, and then down here, I'm gonna put the refundable portion, which is gonna be here, and I'm gonna pick up this refundable plus the payments that we're gonna have down here if there were any, and that's gonna give us the 2150, which kind of mirrors what you can see here, and I'm gonna go to the 8812, and so now we've got the totals down here that are being broken out, the 5000, the 2150 pulling into the 1040 page number two, here's the 500 for the non-refundable up top, and then here's the 2150, so if I kind of recalculate this or look at it, we've got then page one, the three dependents, two children, one under six, one between six and 18, other dependent, we had the 200,300, we've got the 12,550 standard deduction, there's the 87, 187,750, so I'm gonna go back on over and say okay, so there's just 187,750, the tax then calculated on page number two, 40,907, so I'm gonna say all right, there's the 40907, and then we've got this credit of the 500, so that mirrors here, the 500 that gets us to then the 40,407, so now we've got the 40,407, and then we put the other credit, we also have this other forms, where this is a Medicare thing because of the W-2 wages, but then we've got the 2150, the 2150 getting us to the 38994, we also have a penalty of the 987, so we've got the 987 penalty, 987, so that would get us to the 389,44, the 389,44, this penalty was 687, 687, 389,44, so somewhere, so there's the basic calculation. Let's go back on over, I'll try to clean it up a little bit, so just to see the data input, we have the data input here, no more data input, we've got data input here, and then we've got to put a data input here, and then the other items, we've got to put a data input point here, and then the 500,000, and then we've got to put a data input point there, and I think that's basically it, so it's not a perfect worksheet, and there are exceptions we'll talk about possibly in a future presentation, but doing a worksheet like this can give you kind of an idea of the phase outs and whatnot that you could see, and if you wanted to put a worksheet in to kind of get the general idea of what's happening with a return for a double check, it can be kind of useful to do as well, so there is that, let's spell check it, let's check the spelling, I'm sure there's got to be spelling errors, no, whatever, spell check must be broken, in any case,


So this is just going to be a very quick talk here. So my name is Jaflo Pestite. I am from Solutions IQ. And this is a talk called The Exorcist was a lean planning master. And it's how we learned, how I got insight from a famous American horror flick on how to have conversations faster. And the conversation is not scary, so the movie is. So if you had read the program, the program said, this is a Pecha Kucha talk. Pecha Kuchas are generally six and a half minutes, but I was asked to do a longer version of this. That's about 20 minutes long. So if you see me going on, and it's not really a Pecha Kucha, because I'm not, those are like 30 seconds of slides, and they just go on, they go on very quickly. So you are getting the expensive version of this talk today, all right? All right. Okey-doke. Let's get this on, and all right, okay. So a lot of you have probably seen this before. This is the front page of the Agile Manifesto website. And here is a simple statement of the Agile Manifesto. I've been staring at this page many times for my entire Agile career. The first time I saw this was back in 2007. So you're just used to what it says, right? If you haven't seen it, that's where you can find it. But now, you know, you've probably been looking at it so long that you may have been unconscious to the picture behind it.  I think one of them actually may have been here this week. I'm not sure, I can't name them right off hand, but I see, you know, there's, I think that's Ron Jeffery's there. Somebody else who could probably name those guys off one by one. But this is actually that when we talk about what an adult team looks like when they work, this is the visual image that we often have, which is a bunch of people standing at a whiteboard having a conversation, right? One of them is waving their arms in the air, saying, look at this. And you see the rest of them are around talking to them. And often, actually, if you go on to Google and you search for scrum team or agile team, that's the visual image. You'll get something like that. And it makes a lot of sense that reinforces two of the principles of the Agile Manifesto that business, people and developers must work together daily in a project. So you see, and we'll see a few images of people working, business people and technology people working together daily. And the most efficient and effective method of conveying information to and within a development team is a face-to-face conversation. So if you go out and search, you'll see all these images, right?  That picture actually looks a little bit staged to me. So the people kind of look a little bit too happy. So let's look at, right? So let's look at something a little more hardcore. Here's people at a planning session, not necessarily else sitting, but here's somebody in a big planning session, you have people, and there's a visual representation of what's going on in face-to-face communication in the room. Here's something from the user experience world. Look at all those people, and they're engaging really in a face-to-face conversation with the work in front of them. So we keep seeing this over and over. This is a picture that's very near and dear to my heart. This is actually my second term of service at Solutions Like You. I went off for about three years and worked as an independent, and this was my very first team as an independent advocate. She was at a global nonprofit charity called World Vision. Their US headquarters is based in the Seattle area. And this was a team from an area that had a reputation in this organization from never being able to deliver anything, right? They're a backend database team, and they could never deliver anything. And it was actually really impacting the strategic direction of that whole organization. It's a huge international nonprofit. Just this division in the US raises over a billion dollars in contributions every year, and then they couldn't get information from the database. So this is like my first agile team. By the time I got done working there, they could deliver about every six weeks. And these, there they are, and they're standing up and having a face-to-face conversation and discussing their work. So this is like in the visual image goes over and over on what effective communication looks like on an agile team. But then when I got done working with this organization, I went into kind of the opposite extreme is I started coaching companies in the financial services industry, specifically teams that were writing securities trading software, software that traded stocks and bonds. Millions, sometimes billions of transactions a day. And if you've ever worked in that realm, every time you buy a stock or you buy a bond, you make the purchase order and then later on that night it settles. The money actually changed hands. Every one of those billions of transactions could have to be touched by usually 75 to 100 distinct business logic processes, one right after the other from the time it settled, of billions of transactions. Extremely complex business logic. Having to do with taxation and regulation and reporting and that's why it was just so incredibly complex. And to make it even more challenging, a lot of that stuff is actually run as we heard a couple presentations this week. It's running on big mainframes and people are writing COBOL that makes it even more complex. I was one of these teams, I was working, most of the team had to work with a single program. One single program written in COBOL, probably written about 15 years ago, that at the time they were working in it was over 35,000 lines long. So even simple things, they would have to maybe, a simple thing, the actual change might take five minutes, but it would take hours and hours and hours of research to find the six lines in this 35,000 line program you had to do. So extremely, it's just extremely complex business logic. And so what I found right away is it was really pushing the bounds of face-to-face communication, that teams and actually, so here's, this is actually, this is, I'll tell a little bit more about this. I'm gonna go back here. So the teams I was got that was building this, actually, when I was working of them, one of them, if you saw the talk this morning on BDD, the keynote, they were really proficient in BDD, right? They were great. They went out and worked with their customers. They had the discovery sessions, like they was talking about. They were extraordinary communicators, but it was so complex and frankly so scary for them that these conversations would go on for hours. They were masters at extraordinary communication, but it was so complex what they were dealing with. And if I quit, kept working with them, the more and more it felt like what they were really working on was just as complex as the human body. So if you look this, this, this is actually some kind of a medical monitor, right? And I was working in this team, like this team, the same thing. And the more I looked at it, I would watch these teams work together. And I would watch them work together and it really felt to me like, I watch them work together and I was so reminded of a primetime television show about doctors. I don't know if they have these in so much in India. They're very popular in the United States, right? There's always some drama about a doctor's working together in a hospital and they're always saving lives and causing miracles. And usually there's usually multiple scenes in there where they're dealing with some difficult case and look what's happening. They're sitting together working, having face-to-face conversation, right? This is obviously, this looks like, this is a staged photograph. This is not in all visibility. These are not doctors. These are veterinarians, right? But here's from a reality TV show in the United States and look, look what they're doing. They have a tough case and they're engaging in face-to-face communication. So it just fascinated me how they really hit the barrier. So what we say, well, most effective way is the face-to-face communication, business people working together daily. This team was doing BDD.  Stories were well-written. What's going on? And it was taking so long. And so I was looking for some model I could find to what could I find to break through so they could actually, these conversations would go differently and they could go faster and get to work. And I found it in the famous American horror movie, The Exorcist. How many people here have seen The Exorcist? Quite a few, not a whole lot. All right, all right. A lot of people in India have not seen this film. In the United States, this is actually very well-known and it's usually regarded as the scariest movie ever made. It was also very controversial because, and I won't show you the very controversial scenes. I actually won't tell you about the very controversial scenes, but this is anybody who was alive this is made in like I think 74, 75, like that time is etched in their memory is when The Exorcist came out. And to this day, it has a reputation. It's the scariest, actually in very realistic movie. Also had some great, great, great American and international actors in it that we'll see. But what does this have to do with having conversations on an actual development team? So let me tell you the story of this movie. You don't have to have seen the movie to understand what I'm talking about. I'll tell you about it. So meet Reagan McNeil, all right. Reagan is this bright, intelligent, friendly, well-adjusted young girl, right? And she lives with her mother. Her mother is a famous actress and they have just moved to the Washington, D.C. area where her mother is acting in a film that's being shot there. Now she does have stress in her life is that her parents had really recently separated. So then every, the movie starts out, life seems great, but then Reagan starts acting very strangely, right? She starts throwing tantrums. She gets very physical. She actually, worse things happen. She, people with strangers would come in and she would vomit all over them, right? Just really horrible, crazy stuff.  They took her to the doctor. Doctor, what do we do, right? And the doctor says, takes a look and he examines, he examines Reagan and he can't find anything physically wrong. So he says, what I think we're doing, well, I think this is just stress, you know, from moving and from the separation. And so he prescribes, he gets her a prescription for something to make her calm and he sends her on her way. But these prescriptions aren't working and Reagan isn't, he's getting worse. She's actually getting extremely violent. She's injuring people that she's becoming and she's just, her behavior is just giving worse, even more bizarre. Strange things are happening in the house. Like things fly around the house and nobody could explain. So back to the doctor she went, right? And they run more tests and they actually bring in a specialist, different kind of specialists. They put her under hypnosis. They bring any kind of specialist they get. But Reagan is not getting better. In fact, Reagan is getting worse. And if you've seen that film, you know she gets much, much worse than I am willing to share at a family-oriented Agile Conference. And so then there's a very pivotal scene in this film. And look at this scene. What is going on here? You have a staff of doctors, very highly trained specialists and there's the mother and they're all around and what are they doing? They're having a face-to-face conversation and they cannot figure out what's going around. They're going through everything they could do and the mother is just, all you brilliant people from all over the world or if she just throws this tantrum and the thing in this meeting and they can't figure out what's going on and they can't figure out how to solve it.  I'm not gonna let her be institutionalized. And it made sense that they didn't know what was going on because what they didn't know is that they were dealing with the devil, right?  And we know, right, that people have been having face-to-face conversations about evil for thousands of years and it still hasn't gotten us any closer to understanding it. So they were dealing with the devil and they didn't understand that but it made sense that they couldn't solve that through face-to-face conversation. We've done that a long time. And so the doctor, the lead doctor, at one point he says, all right, we have no idea how to solve this and we're out of options. So let's invite in these legacy specialists. And he's almost embarrassed to tell, like let's invite these obscure legacy specialists that have knowledge of extreme old legacy languages like Latin and Aramaic and maybe Tamil old, old ancient languages that they have. So they invite this team in and there are two members on this team. There's a very old experienced member of the team with lots of experience and there's a young member of the team, two members on this legacy team. And the first time we meet, we learn that there's a different approach that the old legacy team member has, that he has a different perspective on what to do here. So here they are. They've met for the first time actually and they're the first thing the young team member does is natural, right? If you've just joined a development team, you want, what do you want to do? You have a conversations. Tell me what this is working on. Show me, let's pair together and show me some, let's try to understand what we're working on. And so he says, first thing he says of course is do you want to hear the background of what we're working on? Because he had been working, he had known about this for a long time but the old legacy, the old legacy team member had just flown in from a foreign country that day. And he says, do you want to hear the background of the case? And then we hear something different because when the young team member says, do you want to hear the background of the case? The old team member says, why? So then they do something, they kind of do a sprint zero thing to get prepared. They go get some tools they need, right? A few tools they need, right? And so then they're about, they're ready to get to work. But then the young team member still isn't comfortable, right? He's still, he's like, I need to know more. I think we need to mow. And he says, I think, wait, I think it might be helpful if I gave you some background on the different personalities Reagan has manifested. Like I've been watching this and I think there's three. And the old team member stops him, cuts him off right there. And he says, this is the line that has stayed with me. Young team member says, I think there are three personalities. And the old team member says, there is only one. There is nothing more we need to do to understand or analyze. There's only the work ahead of us. There's no more understanding, no more conversation we have. We just need to get to work and create the value that we're seeking after. And so they do get to work. And after an iteration and a half of work about and after both of the team members have paid the ultimate price for their iteration commitment, which is namely their lives, they deliver the value they were seeking and Reagan is happy and healthy again. Now what kind of went on here? So when we talk about what the great advantages of Agil, we say it freezes up from having to do big upfront design to spend a lot of time weeks and somehow like I was one of the teams I'd worked here within India, actually they were in that when I joined them they were in the midst of a two and a half year development process, right? All this analysis, this big upfront design and they thought they knew everything and guess what? They didn't, but yet they were engaging this big upfront design. But as I said before, when I was working even in the financial services industries even with teams that were brilliant at face-to-face communication and the kind of exceptional communication we heard this morning, they didn't do big upfront design but what they did was big upfront conversation. Kind of like the United States Congress, right? Institution that's well known for never being able to get anything done but yet they have conversation all the time. So the principles of face-to-face conversation are sometimes insufficient to get to work and produce the value that you want. So this is a quote, this man's name Werner Earhart. Does anybody in this room know who Werner Earhart is? Nobody knows, all right. So Werner Earhart is a personal transformation and personal development guru in the United States. And he created in the 70s something called Est. Some of you in India may have taken as something called the Landmark Forum or from Landmark Education. This is all about, if you've done that, Werner was the originator of that approach, right? Back in the 1970s he originated this.    Understanding is the gag gift that you get. Maybe if you come in last, in life, if you wanna engage it's getting in action. And understanding how you got there is often secondary. It's getting there and delivering the value and living the exciting life. And that follows through on the very first principle of the Agile Manifesto. Our highest priority is to satisfy the customer with early and continuous delivery of valuable software. There's nothing in there that says anything about understanding how you got it. Satisfy the customer through early and continuous delivery. If we understand perfectly how we got there, that's the booby prize, right? It's our relationship in delivering value with the customer that gives it. But the thing is is that we create in Agile teams, we bring you together and we say have face-to-face conversation, go at it, and this is what you end up with. You look at all these technology tools. They've got a thing here, you've got laptops and people engage, those people look like they engage and like they're really learning how to deliver, right? Those people look like they're falling asleep to me, right? But we just assume that just because you got an Agile team and we give you this Manifesto and we give you a couple days of training that you actually just go in there and have face-to-face conversation and everything will be awesome. So what we need to work on is to acknowledge that conversation and how we do this is a set of skills that we have to be good at and what we need to move towards is something like a fast conversation. How can I get just enough understanding between us that we can get to work and produce software? And to do that takes practice. It's something we assume away. We just throw people together, collaborate. These people, so that's a man named Ross Daly and he's playing a Greek instrument called a lira, right? And I can guarantee these people are engaged in a complex, difficult conversation along the power of anything a software development team would do because they're largely, they're sitting there and they're improvising together and the stuff they're improvising together is based on music that's emerged actually through an oral tradition for thousands of years but they're there and they're having that conversation the only way they got there is through practice and just like when you're with an agile team being able to communicate and do these things is practice. It doesn't just happen. There's a scene, there's a picture of the set of another famous American movie. Everybody know what that is? Somebody knows what it is. What's that? That is the field of dreams, a famous American movie for a guy that's in Iowa, he owns a farm in Iowa and he hears voices coming from the corn one day and the voices tell him to build a baseball diamond, right? And he builds the baseball diamond and the voice they say that he hears from the corn says if you build it, they will come, right? And he does build the baseball diamond in the middle of the Iowa corn field and out from it emerges the spirits and the angels of famous baseball players who begin playing baseball in his field of dreams, right? He's got the greatest baseball players of all time emerge from the corn, right? At the end of it, at the end, his father who was a baseball player, the young version of his father emerges from the corn, you know, he's hearing it, you know, if you build it, they will come, come through that. So it's like we do this with this, right? Look at this awesome, look at this awesome space, all this office is chairs, people working to go to look at all that whiteboard, all those open things, look at that, it's a great collaborative space and it's like we say that and we say if we build it, they will collaborate, right? I like that. It's like you can hear the voices coming through. But that's how we treat people. So just to bring it home here, this is a picture and I was actually in this room a couple years ago and this is the drafting room at a place called Taliesin which was created by a great American architect named Frank Lloyd Wright. And this is the room, this is, he built this, he and his students built this by hand. I was in this room and it was the greatest collaborative workspace I had ever been in because everything, this is all natural light come in and all this space that people work on on the walls, this is actually a huge fireplace, it's a huge hearth of the fireplace which Frank Lloyd Wright figured out that if you put a fireplace in the room architecturally it creates community in the room. People start gathering around it and talking and working together.  He taught you how to live a life as an architecture. And so here he is with all of his apprentices and they're working together having face-to-face communication but they live there. They didn't just learn architecture, they learned to live a life of an architect. And so somebody asked him when he was working that space which one of these buildings you designed and he is some of those famous beloved buildings in American architecture he's built, which one of them is the most beautiful? In response what he says, the one that's on the board right now, the thing of the value I'm producing right now that's what's the most beautiful, not the thing I had in my head. All right, all right. I hope you got something out of this little fast little talk. Thank you for showing up here today. I know I went really quick and we probably, and I'm about three minutes over so I gotta stop. I'll be around for questions. All right, thank you for coming, bye bye.


A portion of this video is sponsored by Omen Oasis, more on that later. Stephen Curry has been in this many NBA 2K titles and today we're playing them all to see just how far he's really come. First up, one of my favorite 2Ks of all time, NBA 2K10. Y'all remember when this was like the menu screen? This is NBA 2K10, man. Bro, they had Stephen Curry rated lower than Azobuki 69 overall. Oh, they had one thing right was his outside scoring, which from entering the league was the A-. That's really good. The experience on the PlayStation 3 is actually pretty brutal. I forgot how many times this freezes. Even before I started recording it froze twice. The recording just started. It's already froze once. Thank God. Wow! Round of applause! The A.O. Musiographics has been so long since I played this game. Cash. Damn, Curry off the rip. Okay, so that's for some reason to shoot. Damn, you have to pass first, Chris Paul. Get that out of here. There's the ball. Hey, Curry. Swing, swing. Wide open. That's cash. Nope, maybe not. First of all, the amount of aliasing on these characters is hilarious. Damn, I missed this game so much. Look at the sound it makes when it hits the room. It goes, we played that sound one more time.  What? Why did he do that? Curry, when you check the ball, you give it to your opponent and they gave it just with this. Okay, let me ice up a little bit with Curry, man. There was no dribble stick back in 2K10, so you just dribble with your left stick, you know, whole time. You know what I'm saying? That's how I've been dribbling 2K21, so it's not much different from me. Boom, blow by attempt. Damn. Boom, that's Bors, Rom. Back out. That's Steph. Hello. Chris Paul, go easy on me, bro. Damn. Damn. I know Chris, this is Curry's first year. He's 69 overall, Curry. But they're embarrassing me right now, stealing the ball, dunking on me. What is that? What is, did I just get the ball? Cash. Cash, please, Curry.  You're horrible, bro. Can you imagine this is going to be a two-time MVP at some point? You could convince me this is going to be a two-time MVP, but here we are, man. Next up is what's considered by many as one of the greatest 2Ks of all time, NBA 2K11. And if this right here doesn't bring back a lot of memories, then you're probably just too young. So this is the exact reason why you should be watching this video. You know, Steph and Curry has been on the Warriors this whole career, so it's made it easy on me. I just know exactly, so whip it to the Warriors every single year. Got Monte Ellis, Steph and Curry, significant improvements. He went from a 69 overall to an 82 in one year. That's actually really, really impressive. This is back when Golden State used to be like a very underrated team. They were fun to watch, but they weren't seeing much success in games. First year got 17.5 points per game. That's really, really good. And he's improved on his outside scoring. Now they got him at an A, but his ball handling has actually seen the biggest improvement in this year's game. It's at an A now. The teams are simple. Steph and Curry, Snoop Dogg, Amare Stoddermeyer, first Drake, Bow Wow, and Pau Gasol. Yeah, there was actually celebrities in MVH 2K11. 2K needs to bring that back. Boom. Okay, Drake.  Alrighty then, Drake. Is Steph and Curry in the... Pin that! That was a violent foul.  That's crazy. Snoop Dogg, pass the ball. Steph and Curry finally has a four bar at the three point line. Gave them respect. Let me pull up from right here, man. That was a bad release. That's on me. My fault, 2K. No way Bow Wow is going to try something on Amare. Please do not do that. How did he hit that? Man, back in the day, the AI was not that smart. It was pretty dumb to say the least. Let me see that. Let me see that. I'm getting sauce right now by washed up rappers. I'm down horrendous. But Drake's not washed up. Why do I say that? Boom. Boom. Let's go, Curry! Cash! Yes, sir!  How about that? Cash. Bang! Bad release and it still hits. Considering he has such a good three pointer, it is difficult to time his jump shot. I'm happy to announce that this portion of the video is sponsored by Omen Oasis.  You kick back.

Bro, 90s music is hilarious. I used to go outside and drive my car. I used to play the game and drive my car. Oh my God, we got a brand new UI. It's more confusing than the last one, but hopefully we can get the hang of it. Come on, you're in your third year, Steph. Talk to- Oh, hold on now. Did Steph go down and overall? And he scored more points per game. The rest of- and he shot more efficiently, 44% from 3, 93 from the free throw line and dropped an overall. His ball handling dropped from A to A minus, outside scoring from A to A plus. It's some 5v5 action going on. I'm going to the right side because that's where Steph and Curry is. A whole lot of all stars plus Steph and Curry. He's not all stars just yet, guys. Wow, brand- remember back in the day they used to give us brand new black tops every year? I remember that. Steph and Curry's dribbling has got worse or the gameplay is just significantly less responsive. One of the two has just happened. Inside! What? When did he learn to dunk? I do not remember Steph and Curry being able to do that IRL. Let me get a screen. Let me get a screen. Let me get a screen. Screens don't work in this game. Wow, 2k12 is a huge downgrade. What is going on right now? Pull up. Steph, that's you. Bang! His release feels a little different this year. LeBron is goaded. LeBron is goaded. Game! Game! Yeah, the difference between when I'm moving around with Kobe and LeBron and then you put the ball in Steph Curry's hands is so tremendous in this game. It makes no sense. On Steph and Curry's fourth year, let's see if he's made some significant improvements on the offensive end. So Steph and Curry's been stagnant for a little bit now. He jumped from 80 overall to 82 overall in this year's game and they finally went from letter grades to number grades so we can see specific attributes. A 93 point in a 92 shot medium is up top. It's up there with some of the best people in the league. So at this point in Curry's Curry, he established himself as one of the best shooters. Decent at attacking the rim and a good playmaker but not elite. Not elite just yet. So Steph Curry is not available on the Blacktop in 2k13 but he is available in the 5v5. Oh my god, this year's game does feel better than 2k12. I say that much. On top of that, the sound effects, you hear that? Boom! That's a satisfying sound effect. Boom! Fade! Big bricks! Oh my god! Oh, big steals Curry! Big steals! Stop right here. Cash it up. Man, the game playing this year's game was not good. It was just not good. Let's see what kind of driven moves Steph could do this year. No right stick, remember? So although you might be like, oh these animations is kind of familiar, they're in recent 2k. There's no real way to know how to trigger them because there's no right stick to be able to do it. You kind of just use your left stick and guess. As I drive, spin, no opening. Let me just fade. Damn. So generation jump run the PS4 with it. So hopefully Steph Curry has a generation to leap in his abilities this year. Damn! This year Steph Curry is at the top of the team. 88 overall, that's a big jump from 82. 93 offense, 75 defense. From 26 games played to 78, 15 points to 23. And he has a status as a star now. Wow, Steph Curry. Welcome to the big leagues, buddy. Steph Curry is the highest overall on his team. That's so odd to say. And sir, Clay Thompson, little 73 overall, man. D up. Uh-oh. Okay. Defense still not elite, still not elite.  Who told you to do that? Did my controller broken? What's going on?  Why are you doing that? Steph, please explain to me why you're throwing the ball that far. The gameplay is significantly better. I mean, it was 2K13. We're comparing it to. So the dribbling just feels significantly better this year's game. Look at me. Saw us out. Come on and drive to the tank, Curry. Yes sir. Nah, Steph Curry is like playmaking and his ability to attack is elite this year. It's elite. Look at the graphics, man. Biggest graphical upgrade in 2K history right here from 13 to 14. Why? She leaves me open right now. I don't like that. Damn. I man, 2K15. Look at Steph Curry, man. Look at him improving. 89 overall in this year's game from 23 to 24 points per game, seven to 8.5 assists per game, shooting more efficient than ever from the field. A 90 mid range, a 93 three ball. This is Steph Curry just about to reach his peak. He not there yet, but he's just about to. Oh, look at that momentum. Oh, yes. The gameplay on this was significantly improved, man. Let me see some, let me see some pull up green buckets. Yo, bro, nah, this is just a, this is a better product. This is a much better product, man. No way. Big bricks, boards. We out white. Bad. Let's go, baby. All right. It's dead out 11. Keep mine is dead out 11. Oh, look at me. Sauce up feed bang. Oh my God. What did I just do? I'm impressed with myself. Okay. Look. So on the bottom, you see the shot meter as the blue part gets bigger. You know, like, yo, bro, you can shoot from a distance based on how big the blue part is. I have gold limitless range on 2K15 with Steph. So you can't really hit these right here.  That impressed me. Okay. So basically we've reached the point where Steph is like, he's that guy now. Okay. All right. Steph is that guy. Next up. Oh, Steph is really going to be that guy in this game. This NBA 2K16. You know why? Steph is on the cover. You see what that screenshot says? IGN said, this is the most impressive sports game ever assembled. And yo, I'm going to be honest with you. IGN was on the ball, dog. This is actually the 2K that my career finally started to take off as an NBA 2K YouTuber. That's one of the reasons to love this game. The second is that Steph in Korea is a 93 overall this year, criminally underpaid at $11 million a year. He maintained same stats as last year. There's not even that big of a difference statistically from last year. I think they're just doing a lot more winning. So when the team wins more, somebody on the team is going to skyrocket in overall. Okay. NBA 2K16. Yes, sir. Oh my God. Oh, okay. Not a good start. The gameplay is elite. Man, the defense, the offense, the animations. This is the greatest 2K to ever do it, ladies and gentlemen. Cash. Oh yeah. Steph Curry finally got his release. This is the release that we all know and love from Steph Curry, man. Yes, sir. I'm fading. Moving shot three is crazy. I saw, I saw. Oh my God. Do y'all remember this game? I have so many memories on this game. I'm shooting this. Cash. Bang. Oh my God. That wasn't even a good release. Y'all see how off I was? And next up, arguably one of the best seasons in Steph Curry's career, 2K17. So we got Steph at a 94 overall. This is the last year before he finally got a chance to renegotiate his awful contract. 30 points per game. Five rebounds. Almost seven assists. Two steals shooting 50% from the field. 45% from three. These seem like superhero numbers. 99 open shot three. Contested shot three is at a 99 as well. Looking at his shooting attributes is that you won't even catch nothing under 90s. This is truly unbelievable. Gold Acrobat, Gold Teardropper, Silver Relentless Finisher, Hall of Fame Limitless Range, Gold Catch and Shoot, Gold Deep Range Dead Eye. The list goes on, ladies and gentlemen.  I saw. The dribbling in 17 was like, it was peak. I don't know what it was. Just your ability to do dribble combos was so spectacular in this game. Green up. Let's go, Dilo. The Angelo Russell came out with a release in this game too. It was one of the slowest releases in the game, but it was one of the most spectacular. I had a couple jump shots with it. Low-Kat put people on game back in 2K17. I saw. Green. Bang. Oh my God. I remember the first week of launch on NBA 2K17, I experimented with Steph Curry's release and it was so spectacular. I made a video dropping 79 points on the prime with Steph Curry's release and literally the next week, the jump shot got patched. Oh, I poked it out. I'm going to fade. Damn. From 2. That's what I was trying to do. Give me that. This is for the game. Watch. Watch. Watch him. Hit it. Watch him. Hit it. Watch it here. Time for four. Honestly, I thought I was going to skip this game, but it is an important year in Steph Curry's career to replay in NBA 2K18. Yep, that's it. You're welcome. Hey, I'm in a better mood already, man. I'm looking at Yanis' beautiful face. This is one of the best 2Ks all time right here. NBA 2K19. But outside of the contribution Yanis had to the game, Steph Curry was in his prime. All right, so we got KD at 97 overall, Steph Curry at 95 overall, DeMarcus Cousins at 90, Clay Thompson at 89, and Draymond Green at 87. This is an all-star team all playing together on one team. Steph jumped from 25 to 26 points per game, shooting almost 50% from the field, 42% from three, a 98 open shot mid, a 99 open shot three, 98 shot IQ, 97 standing layup, 97 driving layup. Nah, it doesn't get better than that, bro. This is the best player in the game, really. Let's hoop, baby. It's me and KD for his littler than CJ McCullough.   If you did a good release, which is not too hard to do, Steph Curry has very smooth, quick release. But around 2K19 time, they actually slowed down Steph Curry's release. 17 and 18, it was one of the fastest jump shots in the game. They slowed it down to make it one of the slower jump shots in the game. Ooh, sauce up, quick shot, and that's a bucket. Oh my God. It's like, how do you compete? Things continue to get more interesting because we're playing NBA 2K20 next. This is just prime Curry right here. And because we're playing NBA 2K20, the servers are still active, ladies and gentlemen. And Steph and Curry is a whopping 95 overall, jumping from 26 to 27 points per game, shooting an insane 43% from the three-point line. And as you scroll through his stats, it's just nothing short of unbelievable. Growing up, I did this thing where I used to hate LeBron because my brother was a LeBron fan and I was a Kobe fan, so I'm all Kobe, he was all LeBron. And I feel like I robbed myself out of just the enjoyment of watching basketball players compete at the highest level. I was too busy picking sides, I couldn't just appreciate it. So as I sit here and I watch some of these goats like Curry play, I'm appreciating it, man, for real. NBA 2K20, man, is not so long ago we was on the YouTube playing this shitty game. It wasn't that bad in hindsight. Man, the black top just seems like the one mode that 2K just always adds into 2K, but never ever tries to improve. It just exists as the same shell. It's always been. And while I'm grateful they don't take it out the game, like they do a lot of other game modes all the way, as sirsky. I do feel like it's due for some kind of upgrade, some kind of improvement on the black top. ISO, ISO! Damn!  No!  I don't know why I get surprised, just like, it's so consistent. The problem in 2K18, 19, and 20 is that when you don't have, oh my god, ankles taken, ankles taken! Oh my god! The problem is when you don't have defense, people just get infinite blow by animations on you. People can just walk past you if they have good finishing. Let me take some ankles. Oh my god! Damn! When you get the badge, just shoot from wherever. I guess it doesn't really matter. We've done it. We're on the PlayStation 5 with it this time with NBA 2K21 on the current gen because if I played next gen, I'd fall into a deep pit of depression and nobody wants that. Steady 95 overall on the current gen version of 2K21. I know you might look at this right here, NBA Alarm, 20 points per game. What's going on, Steph? 40 field goal percentage. What's up? Man, I want to take you some quick statistical analysis to remember that he was injured basically the entire season. He played a few games. So I guess not much has changed since 2K20 and 2K21 because this is the same Steph Curry. It actually goes to show just how prolific of a player he is that he could not play for an entire season and the dev team is just as confident that he'll be back dominated in the way he was before. Yes, sir! Cash! Okay. All right, Steph. That was easy. All the way baseline. Yes, sir. Oh my god.  And then last but not least, the current game, NBA 2K22. A 96 overall, he's went up one since the last year. 32 points per game is crazy. Shooting at 48 percent from the field, 42 percent from 3, 91 percent from the free throw line. What? These are his current attributes. A 96 driving layup, 98 shot close, 90 mid-range, 99 three-point shot. At 12 years pro, this is Steph Curry and his prime, ladies and gentlemen. This is the most interesting camera I've seen added to a basketball game since the 2K cam was added. Boom. Oh, sauce up. Yeah. No, this camera is significantly better. The second I get back on, it's like automatic, man. Steph Curry is one of those few players where no matter what 2K you boot up, he's nice. Not every player is like that. Sometimes players get like horrible packages. The layup package is awful or they can't dribble for s*** or they have like some tendencies that make them frustrating to play with. This across the board, Steph Curry has been that most consistent player, probably in 2K history. He's very versatile too. People don't talk about that enough. If y'all enjoyed the video, man, make sure to drop a like over here. I got a dunk with Vince Carter in every single NBA 2K game he was a part of and he was in the league for like two decades, man. So if you missed that, go ahead, catch that. It was a very up and down video. I'm gonna catch you guys in the next one.


We are today at the Global Launch of the Inventor Assistant Program. This is a program that has been launched in a pilot phase in three countries, Colombia, Morocco and the Philippines. We give importance to the capital, the material capital and the inventions that require a follow-up, of course, from the professional part, and this program brings this follow-up, which is a very important milestone in the innovation chain in Morocco. The main aim of the program is to help under-resourced inventors all around the world to get legal advice and technical advice to navigate the patent system. And it relies on pro bono, free assistance on the part of lawyers throughout the world or patent attorneys who assist inventors. As a lawyer that became the first pro bono lawyer in patent matters in Colombia, for us, has been a great experience. For the first time, we are in contact with very, very creative people around our country and helping them to protect their innovations, their creations. Among the sponsors we have international organizations. We have corporate sponsors like Novartis and Qualcon and we have all the key players, for example, the Federal Secret Bar Association and the Latin American Patent Attorney Association. WIPO as the cleaning house, main role is to match pro bono, patent attorneys with inventors under-resourced that have been selected country by country and we put them together in order to provide the advice and the relationship in between these two directly. Around a dozen of inventors have been selected and had access to the programs. We have around 50 patent attorneys registered and they are very operative. The role of the World Economic Forum is key since the beginning of the program and still today. We are at an important stage of this undertaking which is moving from that kind of conceptual phase to a model that can be implemented. I think today is an extremely important milestone in that regard. This program is about sending a message to countries. It's about sending a message to leadership. It's about sending a message to those who fund innovation that innovation is important, that there are people in your country who are making really great innovations that are so great in fact that they can travel through the patent system and be given official legal protection. It's about opportunity and creating economic opportunity and societal opportunity for people who have great ideas and just don't happen to have huge financial resources. There is no better time than today for expanding intellectual property systems to serve new inventors to grow worldwide innovation. The IAP does not merely provide people, provide help to inventors. It empowers them to leverage their own talents. It's my hope that the expansion of the IAP will create similar results around the world and give many inventors the recognition they deserve for their hard work. Well my hope is that this program will eventually be global in scope, will serve innovators in all countries and will ensure that in the patent system there is no invention left behind. We would like to see it spread to other countries so that there is a genuine support system for inventors and small and medium enterprises in the intellectual property system throughout the whole world.


But there's Bear Wear sets that keep coming out on a regular basis. This is number five. And there's Slays. There's different things for Halloween and Christmas in this particular set. And I am going to use just the dies though. The slay, the gift boxes, the little heart, and the bear itself, or what I'm going to die cut out of some regular Neenah card stock, whatever you're going to color with, do it on whatever kind of paper is going to work best for those. But you can see the shapes are very distinctive. They might be missing the inner parts, but you can simplify those inner parts. And I'm going to do that with the bear. I like to make my bears black bears with brown bellies and brown schnauz. So I'm just going to throw some brown in there because I'm going to go over the outside edges and refine that shape using my darker markers so it's going to be a really easy coloring job to just put the splooge of brown on there and then start adding in the other colors. And I've got a piece of scratch paper underneath, of course, so I don't get my desk all messy. And in order to do the little paws, I can just shove a piece of scratch paper underneath to be able to color those without having to be real careful to go around them, which is kind of nice. And then I'm going to add some shading colors. I'm going to add a little bit of black to make a little bit of dimension in the bear himself and then blend that again with the gray so that my bear is kind of blended. Now, he's going to be mostly hidden in this particular one because he's standing behind the sleigh and behind the gifts, but I am just like one of those people that just got to add the shading because I do. But you could probably get away with just doing a little bit of shading on the top portion and ignore the whole bottom section there easily enough. So I'm just going to get this all blended and then start working on the little details. Now you can look at the stamp set and see what the nose looks like or just draw your own nose and mouth in there, put a little white highlight on mine. And then I'm going to use the heart just color a little bit of shading on it.  You can put some glossy accents on it and then stick it into his paws after it's all dry. But next I'm going to do the packages and notice that I'm just making squares out of them. And then I'm just coloring over the bows that are those shapes up at the top. The rest of it is just going to be squares. Then I can add little details in there once I'm finished with this step. I've alternated my colors so they would be Christmasy colors. And then I'm going to add some shading. I'm going to put a little bit of shading underneath of the bow because that's going to make it look like it's an actual bow up there. And that's really all you have to do. You can add more to it. I'm going to add a few little stripes, vertical stripes on the bottom package and some angled ones on the top. And again, you can see the way I'm treating the bow a little bit better on this one. Just make a little scallop underneath of the bow, add some shading, and then I'm going to add some little cross-hatching on it to make a little checkerboard type of pattern. For the yellow package, I'll use my traditional purples to shade with and then an orange and then the yellow. And then I'm just going to add some red dots across it. Real simple way to make a pattern out of it because face it, nobody's really going to be looking at the detail of it. You're just trying to give the impression that there's all these wonderful packages in there.  For the hat, I'm going to add some shading on it first and get that blended and then I'll add the ribbing in the top of the hat, that little fold going around just using the dark pen. And now for the sleigh, which is again, it's going to be an easy one. Don't worry, it's very easy. I'm going to color the main part of it with one red and then the inner portions, I'm going to make some shading kind of set in from the outside edges. So I have that little red edge on the outside and then I'll use a medium tone red to blend it. And that's going to give me a little bit of a glow around the outside edge. And then you can decorate this any old way you want. If you've got a sentiment that's going to fit on your sleigh, you can put that on there. And lots of different ways you can do it. I, of course, am going to use my uniball pens, I'm going to use a white one, to go along that edge where I made the darker portions on the inside. And I'm just going to add little dots all the way around. And of course, this covers up whether or not those little lines that I've made, that little border that I created, if it's not even, it doesn't matter, because I'm putting all of this white pen on it. I also have a gold pen in the same brand. And I'm going to make some swirlies with it and just fill in the rest with just some doodling, just something shiny on there so that the sleigh is decorated up. You can do this with anything you like. If you've got some swirly stamps, you could do that. Lots of different ways you could decorate a sleigh. So doing this kind of coloring on your dies is just another way to stretch them, make them go a little further and make a scene out of them. So I've got some adhesive on the back, some dimensional adhesive. I'm going to put a little bit of it over on top of the packages, and then we'll lay the little bear behind it all and glue that down and then glue the bear's hat on. And then it's a matter of whether or not you want to make a scene or not. I have made this card a couple times because I keep coloring this little sleigh and packages and things. And this time I decided I would make a background for it. I did have a little fail in this, so I figured I'd show it to you just so you'd see that, yes, lots of fails happen and nobody dies. It's just a crafting fail. I had this idea to put the bear and the sleigh on the right-hand side and have a background back here where I would have on kind of two-thirds of the way over. I would have an opening in the trees and I would do the sentiment in that area and I would just have these trees on either side of the sentiment. That was the idea. It did not work out quite so well, but nonetheless, the background that I put in there, I got it as smooth as I could, but I'm going to be doing a lot of other stuff to it. So don't stress out if you can't get it really super smooth because the trees that I'm going to put on here are going to fix that. I'm going to put some shading down here so that when I add my sleigh, then it's going to look like there was a little road that he was going alongside. So just some blue kind of scribbly bits and I'm softening up with a little bit of a lighter blue and then I'm going to start working on the trees. And I did glue my sleigh down. Shouldn't have done that yet. Should have done the background first, but like I said, I had some fails going on here. But the idea was I was going to do some trees on the left and trees on the right and the sentiment would be above the bear's head in the middle. And I kept going a little too far. I did not measure how wide that sentiment was going to need to be. So I got a little carried away. The background being a BG15, I started using a lighter blue-green to make the lighter trees. And then I started adding in a little shading on one side of each of the trees with a darker color that became too linear for me. So I took my light marker and I went over that again. So I just softened unevenly in different places to try to make it look a little less super deliberate. So just going over that with a blue pen. And then I went back to my BG15 and started going back over the area in between the trees so that it would start pulling those trees to the foreground, that kind of thing. And again, should have stopped a little earlier on the trees because I had to go do a little repair to my design idea. But you can sort of see I had planned this wonderful, lovely area for a sentiment and sometimes that's just how it goes.  So I'm going to add a little squiggly line on the right hand side of each one of the tree trunks and some tree branches and adding them in different directions so that they crisscross each other and they kind of flow out into each other and go in between and behind each other. And it doesn't have to be really perfect. Most people are going to look at that and they're going to, in their mind, say it's a forest. So, you know, doesn't matter if the trees are even straight. You can see I made mine deliberately a little bit kiddy wampus because that's how trees grow. They lean over, especially when they get heavy laden with snow and that kind of thing. So it's a real forgiving kind of way to do it. And then I added some snow in between all of it. And you can see I had to affix my sentiment using a panel to go onto my card. And I had to put a string around it, a little piece of twine in order to put it little embellishment thing on there because I felt like it needed to be attached to the side of the card rather than floating.  And there we go. I think it came out really cute, even if it didn't work out as completely planned. But it's just another way that you can use dies in order to make scenes without having to do the stamping portion. So if you enjoy this, please click the like button as always. Share it with your friends if you know somebody who would like to make this. And I will see you again very soon with another video. Take care. Bye-bye.


The field of neuroscience is growing rapidly. Continuous advancements in imaging and experimental methods are helping to deepen our understanding of how the central nervous system works at the molecular, cellular, circuit, and system levels. To share the latest developments made across the vast field of neuroscience, Labroots is hosting its fourth annual free online conference, Neuroscience 2016. The conference features talks given by leading experts in neural circuitry, neurodegenerative disorders, psychiatric disease, and neuron biology. Contrary to the dogma of past decades, researchers have found that new neurons form and mature in specific areas of the brain well into adulthood. Recent studies led by Dr. Fred Gage, Professor in the Laboratory of Genetics at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies, have revealed that certain environmental stimuli and specific molecules in the brain can regulate how newborn neurons proliferate, migrate, and differentiate. In his keynote address, Dr. Gage discusses novel methods for monitoring the maturation of neurons in vivo, as well as the role that new neuron formation might play in the adult brain. Among the various factors that control how the central nervous system operates, the bacteria that reside in the gut are probably not the first that come to mind. But in fact, this microbiota plays a major role in the development of bodily systems that can affect the central nervous system. And the brain, in turn, can induce changes in the composition of the bacterial community. Research on mice conducted by Dr. John Kryan, Professor and Chair of the Department of Anatomy and Neuroscience at University College Cork, explores how this two-way microbiota gut-brain axis works. Dr. Kryan discusses how altering the gut microbiota during early life and taking probiotics during adulthood produce neurochemical, molecular, and behavioral effects. The results suggest that dietary approaches could help treat stress-related neurodevelopmental disorders and even neurodegenerative disease. In a world full of options and opportunities, our brains must evaluate and select actions to seek specific rewards at the expense of others. Dr. Stan Floresco, Professor in the Department of Psychology at the University of British Columbia, describes how different dopamine-carrying circuits influence our judgments about varying and uncertain risks and rewards. These findings reveal how competing cortical and subcortical circuits shape our selection of certain actions and our processing of rewarding outcomes. In some instances, however, this neural circuitry can be seriously impaired, leading to disastrous personal consequences. Such is the case with drug addiction. To better understand how drug addiction affects the brain, Dr. Rita Goldstein, Professor in the Department of Psychiatry and Neuroscience at the Icon School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, uses a suite of imaging tools to observe how the drug-addicted brain behaves. This approach is revealing the neurobiological mechanisms underlying how drug addiction compromises brain function and alters brain structures related to dopamine signaling. In addition, Dr. Goldstein discusses the effects of abstinence and other interventions in reversing the neural dysfunction caused by cocaine addiction in humans. At Neuroscience 2016, these speakers join a cast of other research scientists, principal investigators, lab directors, clinicians and medical professionals from around the world to advance our knowledge of the brain and nervous system.
