This lecture will have two modules. The first module will be concluding section for the neutral reflectometry part which is of specular reflectivity and then we will switch over to elastic scattering from elastic scattering. Till now all our discussions were on elastic scattering related to structure and now we will switch over to inelastic neutral scattering for dynamics in materials. So, this is how this lecture will have two modules. So, first module will have of specular neutral reflectivity. We had discussed specular neutral reflectometry for neutrons and x-rays and we found out that we can find out physical and magnetic structures, interface various interface properties. We can study growth kinetics and formation of alloys. One example was used on nickel aluminium material, nickel aluminium alloy in form AL3NI. We can also study in-situ growth when the source is strong and you have large number of neutrons you can do in-situ growth, in-situ studies and then the last part of this talk of this series is of specular neutral reflectometry which can quantify interface morphology physical and magnetic. So, what do you mean by of specular? First so far we have discussed reflectivity where the incident angle and the scattered angle they were same not scattered reflected angle theta incident and theta reflected they were same, but there can be cases or I can do studies where the incident angle is not equal to the reflected angle and in that case the q vector so far this was normal to the surface of the film. Now you have a q vector I will exaggerate it which is at an angle to the surface and I can have two components out of it I can split the q vector in two components which is one is qz let me draw it properly. So, this is the reflecting surface the angles are not same. So, still this is theta i this is theta r or I may be calling theta f also sometimes and this is the q value. Now this q value can be split into two components one is qz which we are familiar with, but we also have a component which is parallel to the plane we can call it qx here if xz is the reflecting plane. So, in this picture you can see I have shown the surface and I have shown it with respect to a one dimensional detector because in the instrument in drawer a one dimensional detector is used. So, in that you have one few channels because it cannot be in a perfect delta function peak to instrumental resolution. So, this channel a delta function reflection which follows snails law that means theta i equal to theta f on the detector will be broadened by instrumental resolution and give the specular peak, but beyond the specular peak we also have diffuse or off specular reflectivity to bring home the point what do you mean by off specular reflectivity. If you remember in olden days a movie projector used to project on a clock screen. Now that clock screen you could it is not a mirror for a mirror if we project the movie on a mirror you can only see it from certain angles, but when we projected it on a clock screen we could see the movie we are aware from any part of the movie theater because it was a diffuse scattering screen a rough screen which used to reflect diffusively. Here also because snails law is not valid we have reflected intensity beyond the specular peak or it is not a mirror like reflection and you have Q value which are got two components Qz and Qx which I explained just now. Now the fact is that in any scattering experiment we probe structure we probe structure along Q which was Qz for specular reflectivity. Now that we have a component which is along the surface plane then it will also be able to probe the surface structure in terms of I will show you just now high tide correlation function on the surface. So I will use one or two examples here this is a nickel film which was intentionally was taken through a corrosion process using sodium chloride and the image you see here one is before pitting corrosion and one is after pitting corrosion and we had done specular reflection from the surface and also of specular and I will show you what we get from these two since this pitting corrosion one is you can from the AFM picture you can see visibly the surface structure is modified and you can see granules appearing on the surface after the pitting corrosion. So how to quantify the surface morphology that is the question we can ask. So we can quantify the morphology with specular and non-specular reflectivity we know that surface roughness we have been characterizing with a Debye Waller like factor where this was this factor was put in front of RF to get the reflected intensity and this sigma square gave the average roughness of an interface not just the surface but of an interface in terms of this is the average fluctuation of the surface around a mean serve mean height. So this was sigma square this was done for specular reflectivity. Now let's see how we do the characterization of the corrosion for this nickel surface. So nickel film was around 800 angstrom thick so approximately 0.1 micron first passivated and then exposed to 0.05 molar sodium chloride we know that it causes corrosion first was that we did specular reflectivity and we know what we can get we can get the density profile interestingly here I show you two specular reflectivity patterns one is as deposited and one is after corrosion. Now one thing is clear you can see that the interface I mean the critical angle is slightly less because there is a loss of density because the part of the film has been eaten away and here the specular reflectivity profile was fitted with a six density six layer pattern the six layer model and you can see the layers each were of around 100 angstrom thick and with different scattering length densities because as we penetrated the film we find that the film goes to higher density and because the exposure to the corroding fluid was on the surface so it penetrated and you can see that this is the density profile so this is the air film interface so these are we have shown there as histograms so these models tell us that as we go inside how the corrosion has changed the scattering length density profile it has gone up and this is again the substrate side so there is a step over there also but from air to the air and the film interface the corrosion is there clear but now how to quantify how to quantify surface morphology one part is of course we can calculate the sigma for the surface and that is partial quantization but we can do a much finer work when we do a diffuse scattering now please look at this schematic so on the surface we have undulations like this and if I consider a mean or average surface below it then the height varies depending on the roughness of the interface now this is along the qx vector that we defined earlier for off-specular reflectometry here the reflected intensity is given as a Fourier transform over x and y e to the power minus i qx x qy y of a height height correlation function so this is qz is the average z value because your diffuse the broadening of the peak due to off-specular reflectivity happens at a certain value of z component of qz it is that this g x y is very interesting you see this g x y is given as two sigma square minus two z x y z zero zero so this is the height height correlation function in general for a two-dimensional surface height at x y with respect to an origin zero zero is known as height distance correlation function c x y given by this x y gives r which is x square plus y square if I have both the components so c of r at a distance from any point this origin has nothing very specific about it because we have an ensemble average so we can set the origin anywhere and look for this correlation function actually that is how the ensemble average is obtained so here it has got sigma square so this is basically two sigma square one minus c x y that's what this expression means and then this one minus c x y c x y is a correlation function you can see it decays with a distance r so it is sigma square into e to the power minus r by xi to the power two h this empirical formula we obtain for a fractal structure of the interface please know that here xi is a correlation length is a correlation length length on the surface and two h is a parameter where h is known as earth parameter earth parameter which actually gives the fractal dimension of the surface I will not repeat what I said earlier about fractal a fractal dimension basically where the surface if I try to measure the length it doesn't change linearly if we change the scale of measurement it follows other power laws and that is like India's coastline the actually the surface embedded by a tree and I took one example so basically if the surface roughness I will show you later in in actual figures the surface roughness is characterized by its fractal dimensionality and it can be quantified there the fractal dimension 3d equal to 3 minus h now it's a two-dimensional substrate if h equal to 1 then it that fractal dimension becomes it's not 3d it's d I'm sorry d so it becomes 2 that means it will be a flat two-dimensional surface if h is equal to 1 but often you find h is less than 1 the lesser than 1 if h goes to 0 then basically the embedded fractal surface though in it is supposed to be two-dimensional it reaches almost a three dimensional fractal dimensionality and as h is smaller and smaller it goes to more and more fractal dimensionality and as h becomes closer to 1 it is closer to two dimensionality so that means a smooth surface will have h equal to 1 and the rough surface is h has h has a value which is less than 1 with this much of introduction let me just mention to you that this is what we will be trying to fit to the experimental value using and by fitting a height-height correlation function in this Fourier transform so let us just I we did the experiment at Dhruva of this film which was taken through a pitting corrosion cycle and before corrosion after corrosion this is the qz peak around which we have collected the data this is actually because it's a one-dimensional PhD it is naturally we can collect the data over a range of qx we call it because we consider x qx as the deviation from specular reflectivity so in this data we have shown and of course you can see that the qx value is much smaller than the value of qz what we use there and that's why we can have a mean qz value and the tail which depends on the height-height correlation function by fitting these two before and after corrosion I will just give you the parameters that we obtained from the fits we fitted this for the height-height correlation function and what we found actually sigma equal to 20 angstrom and 14 angstrom 20 angstrom before and 22 angstrom after we had also compared it with the roughness or the height not the roughness actually the height-height correlation function that you obtained by using AFM this is AFM data so we also looked at the AFM data from the same film surface and because it is 2 sigma square into 1 minus cxy and which is an exponential function so as xy goes to infinity we get a saturation value it rises and then saturates please know this in log scale so this is what we expect to get when you measure the height-height correlation function from AFM data and this is what we get from the neutron of specular reflection from the surface the matching is excellent for example before corrosion the correlation length was 800 angstrom after corrosion this increased to 1200 angstrom the AFM says it was 650 and 950 comparable most importantly the fractality of the surface or the fractal dimension you can see that before corrosion it was 0.95 h has become smaller so because of pitting corrosion the fractality of the surface has increased or rather dimension has gone more towards three dimensionality because 0.95 is greater than 0.90 and this is and d is equal to 3 minus h so this one is closer to two dimension compared to this one and the matching between the two data are excellent but then the question might come if we can do the thing with AFM then why do of specular neutron reflectometry answer comes from the fact that neutrons penetrate deep with AFM in we can do the height-height correlation function determination only on the surface of a film whereas in neutron reflectometry we can carry out experiments for hidden interfaces also which is not possible by AFM that is what the advantage of this this study was more of a comparative nature and the comparisons show that neutron reflectometry data and AFM data had an excellent matching but now I will relate something which is possible only and only with neutrons and possibly this is a unique study which I am going to describe to you which is quite interesting for of specular neutron reflectometry so we will we attempt to measure magnetic roughness of an interface what do you mean by magnetic roughness basically if we have a magnetic interface magnetic film with an interface like this then a certain thickness of the surface this is a magnetically dead layer dead layer and this is the magnetic interface this is a physical interface so we attempted to do an experiment where we tried to get the height-height correlation function for the magnetic interface also obtained the height-height correlation function for the physical interface and compare these two and the nature of these two interfaces so here so here because we have a physical interface and the magnetic interface buried under it so we have now the scattering amplitude in terms of two height-height correlation functions please know just like earlier I wrote b coherent plus minus b magnetic when you describe the potential for a neutron specular neutron reflectometry here you please see the scattering amplitude is equal to a part which is due to structure structural interface and we have a part which depends on the magnetic scattering length otherwise same it depends on the nuclear scattering length or the physical scattering length we have here we have a magnetic height-height correlation function and this is a structural height-height correlation function square of this gives me d sigma by d omega where now squaring of this this gives me s of structure structure that means height-height correlation function here it will be z s of x y and z s of x prime and y prime the two heights I will be correlating using a height-height correlation function and a part which is magnetic that means the this is a z m x y z m x prime y prime so it will be z m x y z m x prime y prime so this will give height height so this is in terms of height this is in terms of height height correlation function because you will have when you square this you will have terms like z s x y minus z s x prime y prime and z m x y z m x prime y prime and an interference term which gives me b n b m and the height height correlation function between these two interfaces is the so it will be z m x y minus z s x prime y prime so how the height of the magnetic interface over here over here is correlated to the height of the physical interface at x prime y prime so that means we have three terms s s s m and z m minus z m x y minus z s x prime y prime s s s s m s surface structure and magnetic pre-multiplied by b n and b m it is quite straightforward from here to here so I can if there is no correlation between these two surfaces that means the magnetic surface and the physical surface there no there is no correlation the correlation is zero then this term will go to zero if we assume that so then you will get the height height correlation function of the structural surface and the magnetic surface or interface so now let's see what we obtained so this was done because you can see the magnetic part can be added or subtracted depending on the polarization of the neutron beam whether it is parallel or anti-parallel to the magnetization of the film so we what we did was p d nr means polarized polarized diffuse neutron reflectivity so in this case we have gone one step ahead and not only we are doing off-specular reflection we are doing off-specular reflection in the polarized mode that means my probing beam is up polarized and down polarized and this nickel film I had earlier also shown you it had was fitted with specular reflectivity data and we had a low density layer high density layer and a substrate and what we are looking at actually the interface here interface here actually there is not one interface but there is a physical interface and there is a magnetic interface below this and we try to fit that now this is the data log scale so that in log scale you can clearly see the distinct difference between the r plus and r minus data indicating that there is indeed off-specular reflection from this expression you can see that all the three three terms are present and there is a difference otherwise if this was not there then only for both of them I love s s s and s mm and then they will be identical since they are not identical that indicates that there is a difference and now we obtained the parameters of the interface as I said a b and c from the fits to the pd nr data so I will talk about the a interface please look at the interface which is of interest to us now here first what we fitted at the sigma value because we had i tight correlation function and if you remember it is 2 sigma square into 1 minus c s x y for 1 and 2 sigma so I will call it sigma s square to sigma m square 1 minus c m x y there are two correlation functions that I fitted now structural roughness was larger than magnetic roughness the average roughness the correlation length for this interface for the two surfaces this and this structural and magnetic the magnetic softener interface has a longer correlation length and the harsh parameter this most interesting for the structural surface the harsh parameter is much smaller compared to the harsh parameter for the magnetic interface that means the magnetic interface is much more smooth and closer to two dimension than the structural roughness it is much correlated over a much longer distance compared to the physical interface and the average roughness is also much smaller compared to the magnetic the magnetic interface has much smaller roughness compared to the physical interface so this actually justifies because we know that high tight correlation for a magnetic interface should be dependent on the dipolar inter dipole dip magnetic dipole dipole interaction and this is supposed to be long range and long range and the magnetic interface is supposed to be much smoother because of long range interaction and weak interaction between the two high tight parts unlike the air and the film interface so what we did actually from this we use a mid term displacement formula mid term displacement formula not formula displacement mid term displacement protocol to generate these two fractal surfaces and this is the physical interface that that to generate the two dimensional physical interface with these parameters these parameters and this is the magnetic interface with these parameters you can visibly see the distinction between the two interfaces the which one is which is physical one which is hidden behind it which is magnetic and so we can do polarized diffuse neutral reflectometry to obtain the difference between a magnetic interface and a physical interface possibly this is a unique result which has not been done in many other places with this I close this module the complete module on structural studies using neutrons and in the next part I will start inelastic neutron scattering for dynamics


My name is Mawuto Mukaka. I am a medical statistician. I work at the Mahidun Oxford Tropical Medicine Research Unit in Thailand. My work involves designing of research studies, performing data analysis, as well as interpretation of research findings. I work in collaboration with medical researchers. Within the model, my team and I are statisticians, and we are involved in the design of studies, which involves working out the number of individuals that need to be enrolled in a study. We are also involved in statistical analysis of data. We perform data cleaning. We do data aggregation, which is combining datasets from several sites. And in the end, we make a report, which we submit to investigators, and we do interpret the findings of the research. And we also take part in manuscript development for publications. Most recently, we in our team have worked on a study that involved malaria elimination. And our role was to combine datasets, do data cleaning, and then perform analysis. So this study was done in four countries in Southeast Asia, which are Cambodia, Vietnam, Laos and Myanmar. That was TME, which was giving mass drug administration of dihydroatomestanine perperakwine with a single dose perperakwine. In our field, there are so many methods that have been developed in the area of medical research. And these include time-to-evit analysis methods. And it is the responsibility of us as statisticians in my team to identify these methods and recommend to medical researchers. In the area of medical research, there were traditional methods of analyzing data, which was using proportions to assess efficacy or effectiveness. But more recently, researchers recommend that we use survival methods or time-to-event methods, which are able to capture issues that relate to missing data. So these methods are not easily accessible to medical researchers, but it takes statisticians to go into literature, identify these methods and make recommendations to the medical researchers. So that is where we come in as medical statisticians. So like in the past, if you use proportions, you would end up losing some data because if some people did not complete the follow-up period, they may not be part of the analysis. But these new methods allow those individuals that have partial information to be included in research or analysis. Medical statistics is very, very important in research. A poor design study will not answer the research question that a medical researcher intended to answer. And unfortunately, you cannot reverse or use any statistics to compensate for a poor design study. So it means it is worth of money. And similarly, if you use wrong methods to analyze your data, you end up with wrong conclusions. And therefore, you need to involve a statistician right from the design stage and throughout the conduct of the trial up to reporting and interpretation of findings. This means that we need to make sure that statisticians are funded and included in any activity that involves medical research. Medical research aims at using research findings to translate into medical practice and policy change. And as statisticians, we are part and parcel of that research activity. We are therefore an important component of translational medicine as statisticians.


I'm sorry about the quality of this video. I'm filming it on the webcam on my laptop here. It's kind of a last-minute video Just want to quickly let you guys give a little update last week. I did a five-series five video series on Basics of shell scripting and they seem to be very popular So I will be doing that again in the near future probably January after the holidays as far as the next couple of weeks I will be continuing the MLT the video editing from the command line videos As well as some of you may have thought I had a ban in this but pop the video game I've been working on haven't worked on it in a couple of months Baby stuff like that life Kind of gotten away, but obviously I'm going to finish that. We're pretty close I will have some video tutorials and releases of that in the near future as well as the Final rewards going out if you were Waiting for a reward. I apologize It's been a long time. I meant to get them out a long time ago But if you're getting a USB flash drive want to put a copy of the game on there You got to finish the game before I put a copy on the USB drive So that's what's been going on stuff's gonna be happening in your future also I myself at the last month or so have been hitting really hard See and Java which are two things I've wanted to know for a long time I'm mostly a script guy. I really haven't wanted to get into binary languages stuff that's compiled and see and Java are two of What I would consider very powerful strong languages And so once I get a little bit better at those I will be doing some videos on them some basics on them And I will probably be doing Kind of like it last week where I did a week long series on the topic so I'll probably do in the future a beginner C Week or two weeks And then I'll do a series on beginner Java, and then I might do a series on GUI interfaces would see GUI interfaces with Java And maybe some networking stuff with those languages So definitely Look forward to that because I'm learning and I'm enjoying If these are things that interest you see Java I've also been hitting up Java script quite a bit lately, so I might do some tutorials on that I've been a few in the past So I'll probably do some more of that. So see Java Java script and shell scripts If these are all things that you are interested in be sure to let me know below Comment just on what you're interested in obviously I think most my viewers are mainly interested in shell scripts mostly bash and of course I will always be doing those because that is One of my favorite things to use so I think you all for watching all my subscribers be sure to subscribe if you're not subscribed to Keep up to date on these videos that are coming out and of course everything's put into playlists So check out my playlist for topics that interest you so once again comment comment comments let me know and Some people misunderstood in the past about comments I don't like people asking questions technical questions in the comments, and I still don't but it's still okay to comment I do read some of the comments at least on my more recent videos But but to try to avoid asking technical questions the comments go to my website for that join the IRC channel and I've said this in the past when you come into the IRC channel This isn't like a 24-hour support chat room if you ask a question doesn't mean you're gonna get an answer right away Me and other people are in that they're all day long The IRC channel is a place for you to come hang out for us to discuss stuff and help each other But at the same time, you know if you have a real technical question on bash You probably bear off going to the bash IRC channel my IRC channel is there for us to help each other But mainly for a place for us to hang out and talk So if you come in there plan on hanging out for a while not getting an answer after two minutes and then getting mad and leaving so Thank you for watching visit films by chris.com First with a K link in the description and let me know what you think have a great day Oh also one other thing that I've been working on So you may have noticed in the background of some of my videos I have a arcade machine that I actually mean a friend built ten years ago And I've swapped the computer out that's in it a number of times and a few of you have asked about it if you're interested in learning about that I can go over the Details of how that works and how to build one yourself Why I was going to try use a raspberry pi in there and why I ended up not using a raspberry pi in my setup But how it may be a good option for your setup but Building arcade machine isn't cheap. It's going to cost you a couple hundred dollars easy But should be able to do it well under a thousand dollars and actually buying an arcade machine with some games on it Saw one in the magazine the other day. It seems like they're at least three thousand dollars So building one yourself is definitely an option. I'm not too handy with my hands So that's why I had a friend actually built the the cabinet itself. Although that was ten years ago I probably could have done it myself nowadays gotten a little bit better have some tools myself But babbling on now if that's something you're interested in what

Thanks again moving on to case 16


Okay, today we're using Blender 2.78A and we're going to use in this video the internal renderer to make glowing objects and then in the next video we'll use the cycles renderer to do basically the same thing. So let's go ahead and get started. We have our cube here. Let's go ahead and grab that GZ1 to move it up so it's flat on the ground there. I'm going to add in a plane and I'm going to S to scale it, 1, 0, Enter to scale it, 10. So this is what our scene looks like right now. So what I'm going to do is I'm going to delete our light object, hit F12, and you can see what it looks like now. I'm also going to change our background to black and so what I did there, I guess I'm going kind of fast, worldview, horizon, set it to black. So we've removed our light and we made our sky black, so there when we render everything's black because there's no light in the scene, but that's okay because our cube is going to become our light source. We're going to go here to our materials. We're going to choose what color do we want to make it and we'll say in this case we'll go red, a red glow, like a nice neon. We're going to set intensity to 1 and specularity to 0 and then emit. This is how bright it's going to glow and the brighter it glows, the less detail you will see in the object itself. I'm going to set this to 2, okay? And as you can see in our example up here, I can go like this with the square or the monkey. You can see it looks like a flat object at this point, so I'm going to hit F12 and you can see that it looks like a flat red shape, but it's not emitting light onto anything else. Well, that's because we need to go back into our world panel here and down here we're going to choose indirect light and then click this under gather, approximate and we're going to turn this up just a couple, two or three passes, F12 and there we have a glow. And so then we can take, let's go ahead and just, whoops, shift D to clone that, I'll put that there. So now we have two glowing boxes and I'm going to take this second one, I'm going to create a new material and I'll make it blue, we'll just make it 100% blue. There we go, F12 and now we got our blue light and our red light and in the middle we have purple and of course if we were to add a green light where they overlap we'll actually get a clear white light which would see our, whatever color. Now our plane doesn't have any material so it's just kind of a white color, but that is how you make glowing objects and you know, we can pick kind of a dark blue there, we can pick a lighter blue, probably might look a little better, looks more like a light. So this is just one way, but a very simple way, very quick way to get glowing objects, very emitting objects in the internal blender renderer. In the next video we're going to look at doing the same thing in cycles. Now I do want to note here that when I hit F12 to render this, very simple scene, two cubes both emitting light, it's taking just under a second to render that and that's at half resolution.  So just keep that in mind because this looks pretty good and when we go to cycles it might look a little better right off the bat, but that will increase our time a little bit, which may not make a big difference when you're rendering one image, but if you're doing a video at 30 frames a second can make a big difference.

You know what? I want to surprise people man, because they'll be like, we've never seen Maya behind the wheels man! Come on! Yeah, today is actually my first time of being behind the wheels man. And I know Stikas is so scared. Are you scared bro? Scared bro. You scared? I wanted a helmet but I couldn't get it. Nah, I guess I was just... How can he... No, just fasten your seat belt man. You need helmet for what? You know, I always tell Stikas that I'm just that guy who drives but I don't want people to know that I drive. It's behind the scene driver man. I'm behind the scene driver. When things happen, I'll be behind the wheels but if nothing has happened, no, I need to sit in the car and enjoy myself man. So I think a lot of people leave a comment saying that, oh we've never seen you drive now. I've been with Stikas for how many years? Three years. I think he's scared now. Don't worry bro.  Chief driver.   We'll be safe man. We'll be safe. But yo, where are we going right now? We're heading to Kempinski. We're going to Kempinski man. Heading to Kempinski. Kempinski, I don't know, I said it in my previous video. Kempinski is a German name. And Kempinski have my first name. So I'm called Beethoven, which is a German name. And the founder of Kempinski is also called Beethoven. So the full name of the owner of Kempinski or the founder of Kempinski is called Beethoven Kempinski. And I'm called Beethoven. I don't even know where my dad got that name from. You know, when I went to Switzerland, it was so funny. The guy who was coming to pick me up was a German. So the guy chose to come and pick me up because he saw the name of my passport being Beethoven. So he's like, oh, that's a German. Now the dude came and then started speaking German, bro. Started speaking German and I'm looking at his face like, hey, I'm not German, bro. I just have a German name. But that was the name given to me by my dad. So it is what it is, man. But we're going to Kempinski to pick up a friend of mine. I'll say she's Nigerian, a YouTube representative. I mean, we've been working back and forth for the past year, right? The year, but we've never met each other. It's always been online. I met her yesterday to be around and she wants to know more about Ghana. She wants to explore Ghana. And as a Ghanaian, believe me, I don't know where to explore in Ghana. You guys know where to explore in Ghana. So I just feel like taking her to one of my favorite places. That's like a bridge because I love being in a bridge. And apart from that, there is also another content creator from South Africa, a YouTuber that talks about finance. This is so cool. Like I'm waving a South African flag. It's also in town just meets the same lady that I'm talking about. She's now in Ghana and she's also saying to Mario, I want to explore Ghana. I'm like, okay, you know what, let's do this. So I'm just going to pick them up and I'm going to be their tour guide for today. And it's a vlog day, man. Don't forget to like the video, subscribe and be part of the channel. Now let's go, man. Chief driver. Stickers, don't be scared, man. Just go straight, man. I trust you, bro. Come on, this guy is just...  I don't know, I know so many people hate CB Drive. I don't know, especially Stickers. Oh yeah, he's number one enemy. I know that because he's right now. If Mario is behind the wheels, I'm not going. I'm not going, but don't worry. This is highway. Is that a highway? So what's your highest speed? 200, bro. Yo, bro. 200.  I'm just crying for this Moto Drive. If you don't get out. No, come on. Now, do you believe now? Please, believe it. Hey, go ahead. I'm so sorry for using the Ghana time. Okay. Morning, how are you? Good. Awesome. Snap, snap. I need to snap. Loki snapping. Are you good? I'm good. Awesome. What are you expecting? I've got an open mind, so let's see. I'm expecting nothing. It's better when you don't expect anything. And then everything is a surprise. Connection and heritage. Now I'm scared. Why are you scared? Because I don't look mind nothing. Ghanaian, Nigerian. You know we're connected. Exactly. You should have gone with mind nothing. Okay, yes. When you expect nothing, everything is a surprise. That's a very burger. Because burgers are going to be disappointed. They'll be disappointed. I know, but I'm here for it. This is more like African Union, man. It is now, it is. If you don't have a photo at the Black Star Square, which means that you've never been to Ghana, so I had to do justice to it by taking them to the Independence Square for a photo shoot. Do you want a picture too? My favorite funeral. Oh, what is that? These are like poor bears. They come and carry your coffin and dance with it. I feel like you're not African. This is a man, brother. Do you want a picture? Is it locked? Can you unlock it for me for 2 seconds, please? I definitely need my mics also. Oh, nice. So I can connect. Ooh. When I went to the top, I met young Ghanaians exhibiting an old school fashion. And which I think is super cool. So I had to put them on camera because they actually love my videos. I love my moves. Why are you putting on a red t-shirt? Why didn't you tell me about your outfit for today, man? What's happening? Yeah. I'm coming right now. I'm coming right now. So, I mean, I'm coming... Oh, wow! I love... What's happening? Okay, so we have an upcoming festival. Ayalolo Festival. We sit match every year. We dress in old school outfits. And then we parade the streets of Akra. We have over thousands of people coming around. Sorry to interrupt. I know you all are enjoying the episode. But hey, please do me a favor. Like this video. It means a lot to me. Can we get 30,000 likes on this video? I mean, like it? Nah! See this YouTube channel? Please subscribe. Let's hit 2 million. Subscribe. So, one of the places that no tour guide will ever show you or bring you the circle. I've never seen any tour guide bringing their client to circle. But I just want to make circulatory destination. So that's why I brought you guys here. Thanks. Are you all excited to see circle? Very excited. One thing, you have to leave your phones in the car. Hey! Thank you Jesus! You have to cycle! Thank you Jesus! That was a good one! So, it's one of the busy places in Akra. And... So, it's a market Everything. Everything is here. Businesses. And this is actually the center of Akra. And it's named after Kwame Nkrumah. So this place is called Kwame Nkrumah Cycle. So this is an interchange that we have here. Oh wow, Kwame Nkrumah is a great guy. Are you a fan of Kwame Nkrumah? Oh yes. Transport. No umbrella. We're African. This is our culture. This is our culture. Where do you want to go? Who owns these buses? These are individual houses. Oh, so you can buy into. You can actually own one of these. Oh, can I buy one from South Africa? Yeah, from South Africa. And bring it in? How much do you think it makes in a day? How many trips does it make? I think we need to find one driver. My dad is obviously asking us. What's your name sir? My name is Issa. My name is Nicolette. I'm coming all the way from South Africa. I'm very interested in this bus market and the business. How much does one of these buses make? How many trips does it make in a day? Half trip. Half trip? To where? Kumasi Tuakla. And in a full load, how many people is that? 31 people. And they each pay how much? 150. 100 CDs. So 100 times 31 is 3,100.  In a day? You deduct your fuel. You deduct your fuel and everything from here. Oh wow. But why do you only make one trip in a day? Half a trip. It takes 5 to 6 hours. To fill it up? 5 to 6 hours to the destination. Is that how far it is? It's 6 miles. That's quite far. So let's do the mathematics. 3-1 in a week. 3 times every day. 7 days. 3 times 7 is what? 20. I literally forgot. That's your channel. That's what your channel is all about. I just wanted them to know how it feels to be in Africa. The reason why I'm saying this is that when you go to so many African countries, this is how our market looks like. This is the life of an ordinary African who is asking to make ends meet. So yeah, that's why I'm saying that whenever you come to Africa, visit places like this. Invest your money in places like this. Spend money there because that money will help build Africa. The angle is like this. This is our life. They need to fix this. This is not good. The sanitation. It's terrible. This needs to be fixed. President of Ghana, this has to be fixed. This is not good for health. Communicable diseases, all sorts of things. I can imagine what is happening during COVID This is not good. I'm going to say hello to the babies. Hello. Hello. How are you? Are you good? Hey. You're so funny. Sun Circle is the heart of Ghana. That heart contains everything. Believe me, we were not expecting to see a street dance in Circle. But hey, it is what it is man. We had to join and go have fun. I tell you that Circle is named after Kwame Nkrumah. This place is called Kwame Nkrumah Circle or there is an interchange here called Kwame Nkrumah Interchange. There is a statue that is built to honor Kwame Nkrumah right here. Since I am here, the guy who loves Nkrumah so much the Nkrumanist, I had to take them to pay respect to a insightful Dr. Kwame Nkrumah. But I want to ask you a question. That Nkrumah raising its hand up in the head. What do you think it symbolizes? Leave that and say, Kwame, freedom is coming true freedom is coming true I've never done something like this before Really? Never. Why? Too busy. I am so glad I gave it I has to be risk friends. That's why the president lives So it's a personal house. Oh really? Yeah. But I think it's not far away. Yeah. That was so funny. That was so funny. Yeah. Yeah, yum. Yum. Yum. Yum. Yum. Yum. Yum. It's time to head to Abri. But let me tell you one secret. Whenever you travel in Accra, whenever you get stuck in traffic, all you need to do is to support the street hawker by buying something from them. It's normal in Ghana. I don't know about your country. Do you guys have street hawkers, people who sell in traffic? They have an estate not far. We need to support our own, yeah? So anytime that I drink water, I always make sure that it's an African owned. This is a wicked place. What is it? This area is called the airport city. And it's a private owned. You can keep it there. It's a private owned city. So the government in collaboration with private sector developed this whole area. So it's just, this is actually the first building that was built in here. That one looks abandoned. No, yeah, that one is abandoned because according to the video that I did here, the owner is saying that there's not enough carpet. So he's not going to continue. Enough carpet. But I think the basement carpet is not enough. So the whole building is rejected. So what do you think is the design? You see the design? What do you think it looks like? That building. The white one. The white one? Yeah. Like crossing the Chevron signs and all of that. Yeah, absolutely. Oh, it looks like... It looks like a net. A net? Yeah. Last guess. Like a fruit. Oh my God. Alright, let's go. Our first stop is the Aimee Mainsaw Park. One of my favorite estates in Ghana. You know what? I love to show off.  Even though it's hard to find green estates in Ghana. So how do you know? African Biennial. Yes, I'm Italian. Question about the estates? It's beautiful. It looks a little bit older though. But it's nice, beautiful. High quality. So the issue is always maintenance. Yeah, beneath the sectional sustainability. Body corporate. Where's body corporate? But it's nice. Very nice indeed. No question about this. I want to see what happens. Oh, it's nice. It's beautiful. It needs a body corporate. I'm talking about the time that I see people moving in. Whatever you travel with women, always make sure that they are comfortable. So I know we're going to a park. And I know that when we go to the park, we're going to spend more time there. So they won't get the chance to feel comfortable the way they always want to feel. So we had to stop by at the vacationist. And believe me or not, they loved it. That's my friend. Nice to meet you. Hi there. I'm Will. What's up? I'm Ray. Hi guys. Nice to meet you. Welcome. I know if you also come here, you're definitely going to enjoy it. So we call this space the love experience. We mostly give it to couples. Wow. Yes. So it's a kind of hideout. We like to give it to any couple all the way from a crowd to get a high space here. Oh my goodness. There's a bathtub to cruise. It also has a beautiful view. And the view is very great in the evening. You really enjoy this space. Look at the sky. Yeah. So this is not part of the main house. No. So we booked this space solely for couples. So you can come again with your sweethearts. Oh. And just come and enjoy this space with a full body massage. Believe me. This is the best place to make babies. It's like doing a baby space. You make a lot of toys here. Oh wow. Look at that. And our destination. Gardens. You're having a great time. Yeah. Okay. Thank you. Thank you for today. Helicopter. Hold one. You didn't tell us that far. Let's do it. I'm sure there's a story behind the helicopter. Definitely. Definitely. And I have no idea. Guys, I'm going to Google it and I'm going to tell you. These are Buri Botanical Gardens, right? Yeah. Okay. So safari. Can we get an understanding of the helicopter? Old. So people come in here for picnics. We think it's something about it being one of the first helicopters in Ghana and was given from the UK. But we could be wrong. As a result? There's a thing there. Hello. Hi. How are you? I'm fine. Hello Nana. Hello. How are you doing? Smile. Big smile. She's like, no. Big smile. First president of Ghana. Dr. Kamil Khoma came here with this. Came here? Here with this. The Brigadians. Yes. And it got spoiled and never moved again. Oh. Yeah. So that's the story behind it? Yes. So I didn't know. So we've just educated. Let's go. When you travel with women, you become their photographer. You must lie on the ground so we can see commitment. This is not my first time coming to a Brigadier's but this is my first time seeing activities going on in the Guards and I was so happy to see that this initiative was done by a young man. This is Spain's Bolivia. This is my pop-up recreation space. It's in every garden here. You established this yourself? Yeah. Eight months ago. Eight months ago? And why you decided to establish something I've been in here? I've been coming. I'm 28. I've been coming here for a long time and nothing happens here. It's just the trees.  Once they are done, they have to return back to Africa. So then I felt, oh let me just add these things here. So when people come, they can do a painting session, they can play paintball, target shooting, they can play basketball, they can play badminton, they're a soft archery. We have even mats that you give us so that you can play board games. That box over there has about 20 board games, different games. So then people can even do picnics and stuff like that. So that's basically what we do here. That's your own idea? Yeah, yeah. That's so creative man. We wait only on weekends and then holidays. That's it man. If you have a message to the youth of Ghana or that message being. I would just say that when they come here, they patronize Ghanaian tourism and also patronize the Ghanaian business. So it's always a good thing when you come here. It's very low budget as well so you just come and have fun on a low budget. It's always a great thing to come here. You know, I am an international sniper. Show them a boy. Show us. Tell them something. What did I just tell you? Over the back. Five. You did a good job. Over the back. Okay. No, no, no. Wait, wait. Okay, let's go. Let's go. No, he wasn't good. Calm down. Calm down. You can do this. Okay, not bad. This guy. No wonder. They don't know you, eh? YouTube is good for you. Hey, man.  You can't be a man. It's almost over and it's time for food. So I had to take them to Hebron which is 10 minutes away from the park. I don't want to see this Ghana Jollofrice. But Nigeria. It is. It better be good though. Otherwise, we will not live here. Daddy, I hope you're also going to order Ghana Jollof. Of course. Aw. But we have to make sure it's good though. If you know good, we'll have a good day here today. We will put the leg for one travel. Two legs for one travel. It's a Ghana Nigeria. This is the real African union. Given that's for one Jollofrice. In a different category. And after eating, Nicolette arranged with the chef of Hebron to organize as a special cake. Make sure it's a big one. Are you done? That was a short switch. She knows already.  You know exactly what she wants. I always put ice cream here. Thank you. Thank you everyone. Thank you everyone. Wow. It's very good. I couldn't resist it. Is it good? It's very sharp. It's good? It's very sharp. To my surprise, when I was about to leave, the chef came out and said, he is a huge fan. I didn't really have the opportunity to come and see you.  I don't feel that bellera. Today was really fun and I'm so glad I was able to create all these memories with these beautiful people from different parts of the continent. And I will be happy to create this moment over and over again.


Hello and welcome to CMC Markets on Friday the 31st of August and this quick look at the week ahead beginning the 3rd of September and it's set to be a fairly busy week. We've got a host of data coming out, non-farm payrolls. Obviously the US Employment Report will be hosting our monthly webinar at the usual time between 1.15. 1.45. We've also got manufacturing and services PMIs from Europe, China, the UK and the US as well as a couple of central bank decisions as well, the Bank of Canada rate decision on Thursday as well as the RBA on Tuesday. But before we talk about that I think it's important to look back at the events of the last few days and once again we've seen divergence between US markets and the broader global markets, US markets once again made new record peaks for the S&P 500, the NASDAQ and even though the Dale Jones hasn't been able to follow suit nonetheless I think appetite for US stocks appears to be outweighing appetite for stocks elsewhere and I think that's largely been as a result of two factors, the ratcheting up of concerns about Chinese trade dispute with the prospect that Donald Trump doesn't appear overly concerned about implementing another $200 billion worth of tariffs on Chinese goods in the next couple of weeks and the fact that the NAFTA deal appears closer than it did at the beginning of the month. Agreement appears to have already been reached with Mexico, with Canada set to follow suit in the coming days assuming there are no last minute hitches. Also seen increasing concerns about emerging markets, in emerging markets particularly in currencies we've had the Argentine currency crisis where short-term interest rates have been raised to 60%, also seen further losses in the Turkish lira on the back of the resignation of the Turkish central bank governor and we have seen ripple over effects into other emerging markets with the Indian rupee hitting a record low and the South African rand coming under pressure and I think the reason I think for these concerns in emerging markets is the fact that these countries hold an awful lot of US dollar denominated debt and at a time when the US economy appears to be on cruise control grew at 4.2% in Q2 with the prospect that we could well see a Q3 number in excess of 3%. Expectations of further US rate rises are raising concerns that these countries may find increasingly difficult to roll over the US dollar denominated debt at a time when the currencies are rapidly depreciating and inflation repression is increasing. Taking Turkey as an example the inflation rate at last checked was around about 17.5%. That was even before the declines that we've seen in the Turkish lira so the new inflation rate is much more likely to come in much higher than that and pressure will increase on the Turkish central bank to try and raise rates to offset the inflationary shock that a lower currency brings about. Whether or not successful is another matter given concerns about the stewardship of the Turkish economy we've certainly seen in the case of Argentina that higher interest rates doesn't preclude a currency crisis because ultimately seven day rates there have been raised from 45 to 60% and the peso has continued to fall and when investors lose confidence in your ability to steward your economy then no amount of interest rate rises is likely to stem the bloodletting. So emerging markets are likely to be a clear and present danger to risk appetite over the course of the next few days as are the concerns of a ratcheting up between the European Union and the US after President Trump rejected the EU's suggestion of scrapping car tariffs to 0% across the board. This was rejected by President Trump as not being sufficient but I think that's a convenient get-out clause for President Trump simply because of the 25% US tariff on pickup trucks that are imported from the EU. Given the size of the US pickup truck market I think he would have been reluctant to upset US automakers by dropping that particular tariff so always thought it was a little bit of a high bar that certainly proved to be the case. Certainly looking ahead the strength of the dollar hasn't really been that much of a factor this week on course decline for the third week in succession so certainly a higher dollar isn't the risk to emerging markets. Certainly in the context of the G10 it's the perceptions that we could see significant increases in funding rates and a tightening of liquidity as the Fed raises rates but also reduces the size of its balance sheet. Looking at euro-dollar we did see a little bit of a breakout higher over the course of the last few days of this triangular pattern but what we haven't done is we haven't broken above that 117.5 area that has really I think capped the range since the middle of June. So that for me I think is the key resistance level on euro-dollar with a very big supporter around about 116.20 but also slightly below that just below one towards 115 and the lows that we saw in early August. Looking ahead to the data or we've got the Bank of Canada rate decision coming on the back of a potential NAFTA agreement as I say as I'm recording this video the agreement is still outstanding but potential Canada downside is likely to be limited by this downtrend line from the peaks that we saw earlier this year around about the middle of June. Now we are getting a Bank of Canada rate decision on Thursday the Bank of Canada has raised rates on a number of occasions over the past few months second time this year actually they raised rates there is speculation as to the timing of a third rate rise I think it's unlikely that we'll see a rate rise this particular Thursday in September but certainly the markets are pricing in the prospect of some sort of move before the end of the year so I think the guidance there will be particularly key. US economic reports the main focus will be on non-farm payrolls particularly on the wages data which is starting to show some signs of life the unemployment rate expected to come in unchanged from 3.9 percent average earnings I think we could we'll see an increase to 2.8 from 2.7 percent but once again I think we'll have to wait and see as to whether or not we're seeing evidence of that certainly inflation doesn't appear to be showing too much signs of picking up core PCE came in at 2% last week and we've also got some key economic data out of the UK we've got this sterling chart here 50 day moving averages acting as a bit of a barrier on the upside around about 130 and a half if we can get through that we could well make further gains but at the moment the prospect of some form of coalescence around a deal does appear to be supporting our brexit deal does appear to be supporting the pound in the short term what I found particularly interesting in in respect to euro sterling was this very bearish daily candle here which would appear to suggest that we could well have seen the highs in euro sterling in the short term and as long as we don't move back above this 90 30 area then I think there's a very decent chance we could come back down towards the lows that we saw earlier in July around about 88 60 so as a quick recap US economic data non farm payrolls on Friday webinar starts at 115 got the RBA rate decision on Tuesday we've got the Canada Bank of Canada rate decision on Thursday and we've got services PMIs manufacturing PMIs to keep an eye on as well so it's going to be a big week for data so tune in for daily updates on the website in the news and analysis section is Michael Houston talking to you from CMC Markets


What is going on guys, welcome back to the channel and I appreciate you being here. Today I want to check out Zer's Exotic Fated Engram and basically see what it offers now. I've had a few people comment on, quite a few of my videos when I spoke about this in the past, about a bug within when you basically inspect an Exotic Engram, sometimes it says the Exotic that you don't actually own is already added to your collection. Now I want to find out if this is the case with new Exotics and this Fated Engram basically showing that these new Exotics that you don't own are already added to your collection, does this stop them from actually dropping from that Fated Engram? Now we can only buy one per week across all three characters so yes, if you didn't know you can only buy one of these per week so it's going to be pretty hard to actually figure this out and that's where I need to help with you guys. If you guys, when you buy this Fated Engram, inspect it, if there's a new Exotic which you don't own in it and it says already added to your collection, open it and if you get an Exotic which you don't have and it said it was already added to your collection that means the bug is nothing to be worried about so let us know down below within that comment section. Again I will repeat that, inspect the Fated Engram once you pick it up off there. If it shows a new Exotic which you don't have but it states it's already added to your collection when you open the Engram if you get an Exotic which it does state or did state it was added to your collection let us know down below in that comment section because I'll show you guys what I mean right here and like I said you can only open one of these per week across all three characters so it's pretty crazy so as we'll see here it says now I have or I do have these though that's the thing but sometimes a lot of the Exotics which you don't have it will say already added to your collection so therefore does this Fated Engram think that you've already got it and therefore not giving you that is the issue we need to find out so I'm going to grab this let's see do I have to take it to the cooktark as well I'm not even sure yes I got the Crimson people what you know what to be honest since the KSL sizes came out I've literally had probably ten Exotic so far I've had one new ones oh sorry so I've had two new ones I've had I'll just put it off there I've had the Coverton Forfeit which is an old Exotic and I've also had these right here oh did I get the change rabbit as well so I've had three new I've had three new I just constantly get duplicates though I've had these about five times five times five times five times five times five times people so yeah I'm quite glad I got this right here three or five though but still I will get hand cannons that will take this up if you haven't seen this people eating for a shock it's so so beautiful look at this and it does an ornament for people which is just outstanding as you can see we've got heavy grip crew remedy kills with this weapon here they will that position kills also refill the magazine we've got accurate rounds we've got small ball and we also have band weapon this weapon fires a 3 round burst it's a hand cannon it fires a 3 round burst look at the range look at the stability look at the impact and let me show you guys I'm gonna quickly cut the video so I can show you guys these things ornament it's in it's incredible okay so we're at test right here right now and we're gonna I'm sure you've probably seen already but if you ain't people you're in for a shock it's so so great and I mean it's seriously amazing look at the checks that several bullets called I need this I need this in my life look at that wow pretty impressive yes me yeah it's pretty impressive but yes guys that is it that is what I fade and comes all about it seems to give you exotics which you don't have but like I said just repeat what I said earlier on in the video and when you purchase this inspect it and see if it states that you because you know like I said it shows that an exotics already added to your collection sometimes it will do that with exotics you don't actually own so if there's a selection of exotics within the exotic end ground when you check what's in there and it says any of them are added to your collection already even though you don't have them and you get one of those drop let me know down below within that comments section because there is a bug and it's been here since basically day one and like I said these are supposed to give you exotics that you don't already own but if they already think you've got it in your collection and you ain't gonna get it dropped so it's a bug that will be needed in fixing so yes help everybody out here by letting us know down below in that comment section but guys thanks for stopping by as always if you enjoyed the video leaving a like really does help me out and hopefully people I will see you on that next one


Hi Jeff, once again here and I'm back with milestone card explainer video number three. So I'm going to get my cards, here they are, and give them a bit of a shuffle. Run all over the place and what have we got here? Okay today we beat our personal best. We love competing with ourselves and selling new standards, we never would have believed it and I've got the hashtag I've raised the bar. So why is beating our personal best a milestone in a team's growth towards team mastery? Well all of the great teams that I've seen and being part of are quite competitive and that's not just sports teams but competition has upsides and downsides and I've very rarely seen a team within an organization that can look at another team in the organization and realistically compare and compete against them because they're doing different things, they have different skill sets, different domains, different problems and so actually comparing them and you've heard the stories of teams comparing velocity against each other it always ends in in a disaster. So the best teams don't really compare themselves to their colleagues or even to teams in other organizations because there are too many variables outside of their scope of control but they can still be competitive because they compete against themselves. So they're constantly resetting the bar of their own high standards and that's a great habit to get into. I have seen some healthy inter-organizational competition where team A sees team B doing something better and they think okay then now we can improve and we can raise the bar and that that sort of internal competition does help raise the overall levels I have seen that. I've seen more dysfunctional behaviors as a result of internal competition but it can be possible. Competition also has some other downsides if it's tied to rewards and now I tell the story of Sergei Bubka the world record Paul Volta who got an incentive a financial bonus from his sponsor every time he broke the world record and so he was only ever really incentivized to break the world record by a little bit so that he could get another bonus the next time he broke it and that's that's dysfunctional behavior that's gaming the system and great teams don't want rewards for beating their personal best because the reward is the intrinsic feeling of satisfaction and completion that they get by doing it. So what can you do well the first thing I'd recommend you to do is find out what's important to you as a team find out what drives you as a team what you want to get better at as a team and then gather some data about it get benchmark where you are right now whether it's bugs in production whether it's uh response times whatever it is find some data about it so you know what you're starting from then set yourself a target set yourself a goal to get better you don't have to get 10% better or 20% better or 10 seconds quicker just get better then celebrate when you get there uh and go again now there are a few things that you can do to help you along the way if you make your targets visible you're more likely to want to stick to them and to beat them so make them publicly visible tell people what you're doing verbalize what you're doing tell someone that you care about that you're going for this target again it will increase your sense of attachment and sense of wanting to make it happen and visualize having made it you know sports stars do this all the time they visualize the success so they know what they're going to do they know that feeling they're attached to that successful outcome give it a go and see if it helps your team go from good to great
