Welcome to the British Library and we're here in the story garden run by our friend's global generation and it's here in the library's back yard. Now it's 150 years since the publication of Lewis Carroll's Alice sequel through the Looking Glass. The original Alice manuscript is of course in the library so we're very excited about this. Not least because we have Chris Riddell joining us to share his newly illustrated work. We also have the frabulous voice of actor Sam West so please join me through the Looking Glass. Hello I'm Chris Riddell and I just illustrated through the Looking Glass and what Alice found there and we're going to hear some wonderful readings by Sam West from the book. It includes a couple of my absolute favourite poems by Lewis Carroll and we're here in the story garden of the British Library. I'm really looking forward to sketching the characters as Sam reads. I've got a sharpened pencil at the ready. The first character we're going to meet is the wonderful Humpty Dumpty, great big egg teetering on top of a wall in the middle of a wood and Alice reaches this square of the chess board and looks up and there is Humpty looking down at her and she recognizes him as a sort of familiar fairytale character. Humpty Dumpty knows everything as you'll find out. Humpty Dumpty. However the egg only got larger and larger and more human. When she had come within a few yards of it she saw that it had eyes and a nose and mouth and when she had come close to it she saw clearly that it was Humpty Dumpty himself. It can't be anybody else she said to herself I'm a certain of it as if his name were written all over his face. It might have been written a hundred times easily on that enormous face. Humpty Dumpty was sitting with his legs crossed like a Turk on the top of a high wall. Such a narrow one that Alice quite wondered how he could keep his balance and as his eyes were steadily fixed in the opposite direction and he didn't take the least notice of her she thought he must be a stuffed figure after all. And how exactly like an egg he is she said aloud standing with her hands ready to catch him for she was every moment expecting him to fall. It's very provoking Humpty Dumpty said after a long silence looking away from Alice as he spoke. To be called an egg very. I said you looked like an egg sir Alice gently explained and some eggs are very pretty you know she added hoping to turn her remark into a sort of a compliment. Some people said Humpty Dumpty looking away from her as usual have no more sins than a baby. Alice didn't know what to say to this it wasn't at all like conversation she thought as he never said anything to her in fact his last remark was evidently addressed to a tree so she stood and softly repeated to herself Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall Humpty Dumpty had a great fall all the king's horses and all the king's men couldn't put Humpty Dumpty in his place again that last line is much too long for the poetry she added almost out loud forgetting that Humpty Dumpty would hear her. Don't stand there chattering to yourself like that Humpty Dumpty said looking at her for the first time but tell me your name and your business.  What does it mean? Must a name mean something? Alice asked doubtfully. Of course it must. Humpty Dumpty said with a short laugh. My name means the shape I am and a good handsome shape it is too. With a name like yours you might be any shape almost. Why do you sit out here all alone said Alice not wishing to begin an argument. Why because there's nobody with me cried Humpty Dumpty. Did you think I didn't know the answer to that? Ask another. Don't you think you'd be safer down on the ground Alice went on not with any idea of making another riddle but simply in her good-natured anxiety for the queer creature that wall is so very narrow. What tremendously easy riddles you ask Humpty Dumpty growled out. Of course I don't think so. Why if I ever did fall off. Which there's no chance of but if I did. Here he pursed his lips and looked so solemn and grand that Alice could hardly help laughing. If I did fall he went on. The king has promised me with his very own mouth to to to send all his horses and all his men. Alice interrupted rather unwisely. Now I declare that's too bad. Humpty Dumpty cried breaking into a sudden passion. You've been listening at doors or behind trees and down chimneys or you couldn't have known it. I haven't indeed Alice said very gently. It's in a book. Oh well they may write such things in a book. Humpty Dumpty said in a calmer tone. That's what you call a history of England that is. Now take a good look at me. I'm one that has spoken to a king. I am. May Hap you'll never see such another. And to show you I'm not proud you may shake hands with me. And he grinned almost from ear to ear as he leant forwards and as nearly as possible fell off the wall in doing so and offered Alice his hand. She watched him a little anxiously as she took it. If he smiled much more the ends of his mouth might meet behind she thought and then I don't know what would happen to his head. I'm afraid it would come off. Yes all his horses and all his men. Humpty Dumpty went on. They'd pick me up again in a minute. They would. Humpty Dumpty really did seem confident that all the king's horses and all the king's men would come along. I don't know about you but the way he was balancing on that wall was very precarious. I'm just saying now we're going to meet another royal character. This is the white queen. She has been running across the landscape chasing her shawl that is seems to have a life of its own. Luckily Alice is in the right chest square to catch the shawl and give it back to the white queen who is really quite flustered as you'll find out. The white queen. She caught the shawl as she spoke and looked about for the owner. In another moment the white queen came running wildly through the wood with both arms stretched out wide as if she were flying and Alice very severely went to meet her with the shawl. I'm very glad I happened to be in the way Alice said as she helped her to put on her shawl again. The white queen only looked at her in a helpless frightened sort of way and kept repeating something in a whisper to herself that sounded like bread and butter, bread and butter. And Alice felt that if there was to be any conversation at all she must manage it herself. So she began rather timidly. Am I addressing the white queen? Well yes if you call that addressing the queen said it isn't my notion of the thing at all. Alice thought it would never do to have an argument at the very beginning of their conversation so she smiled and said if your majesty will only tell me the right way to begin I'll do it as well as I can. But I don't want it done at all. Grown the poor queen. I've been addressing myself for the past two hours. It would have been all the better as it seemed to Alice if she had got someone else to dress her she was so dreadfully untidy. Every single thing's crooked Alice thought to herself and she's all over pins. May I put your shawl straight for you? She added aloud. I don't know what's the matter with it. The queen said in a melancholy voice it's out of temper I think I've pinned it here and I've pinned it there but there's no pleasing it. It can't go straight you know if you pin it all on one side Alice said as she gently put it right for her and dear me what a state your hair is in. The brush has got entangled in it the queen said with a sigh and I lost the comb yesterday. Alice carefully released the brush and did her best to get the hair into order. Come you look rather better now. She said after altering most of the pins but really you should have a lady's maid. I'm sure I'll take you with pleasure the queen said. Tuppence a week and jam every other day. Alice couldn't help laughing as she said I don't want you to hire me and I don't care for jam. It's very good jam said the queen. Well I don't want it today at any rate. You couldn't have it if you did want it the queen said the rule is jam tomorrow and jam yesterday but never jam today. It must come sometimes to jam today Alice objected. No it can't said the queen it's jam every other day today isn't any other day you know. I don't understand you said Alice it's dreadfully confusing. That's the effect of living backwards the queen said kindly. It always makes one a little giddy at first. Living backwards Alice repeated in great astonishment. I never heard of such a thing but there's one great advantage to it that one's memory works both ways. I'm sure mine only works one way Alice remarked. I can't remember things before they happen. It's a poor sort of memory that only works backwards the queen remarked. What sort of things do you remember best Alice ventured to ask. Oh things that happened the week after next the queen replied in a careless tone.  There's the king's messenger he's in prison now being punished and the trial doesn't even begin till next Wednesday and of course the crime comes last of all. Suppose he never commits the crime said Alice. Well that would be all the better wouldn't it the queen said as she bound the plaster around her finger with a bit of ribbon. Alice felt there was no denying that. Of course it would be all the better she said but it wouldn't be all the better his being punished. Oh you're wrong there at any rate said the queen were you ever punished? Only for faults said Alice and you were all the better for it I know. The queen said triumphantly. Yes but then I had done the things I was punished for said Alice that makes all the difference but if you hadn't done them the queen said that would have been better still better and better and better. Her voice went higher with each better till it got quite to a squeak at last. Alice was just beginning to say there's a mistake somewhere when the queen began screaming so loud that she had to leave the sentence unfinished. Shout at the queen shaking her hand about as if she wanted to shake it off. My finger's bleeding.  Her screams were so exactly like the whistle of a steam engine that Alice had to hold both her hands over her ears. What is the matter? She said as soon as there was a chance of making herself heard have you pricked your finger? I haven't pricked it yet the queen said but I soon shall oh oh oh. When do you expect to do it? Alice asked feeling very much inclined to laugh. When I fasten my shawl again the poor queen groaned out. The brooch will come undone directly. Oh oh oh. As she said the words the brooch flew open and the queen clutched wildly at it and tried to clasp it again. Take care cried Alice you're holding it all crooked and she caught at the brooch but it was too late. The pin had slipped and the queen had pricked her finger. That accounts for the bleeding you see she said to Alice with a smile. Now you understand the way things happened here but why don't you scream now? Alice asked holding her hands ready to put over her ears again. Why I've done all the screaming already said the queen. What would be the good of having it all over again? I love the idea of jam yesterday and jam tomorrow but never jam today. Wonderful. 150 years ago Sir John Tenniel the great Victorian illustrator illustrated Alice's adventures in Wonderland and of course we know all those pictures the mad hatter, the white rabbit, the queen of hearts. It was such a success that of course Lewis Carroll wanted him to illustrate the follow-up which is through looking glass and what Alice found there and Tenniel was very busy as illustrators can do. He was also a cartoonist and he worked for Punch and that was his other job. Now all these years later I was asked to illustrate Alice's adventures in Wonderland and I was very excited and a little bit daunted to follow in my hero's footsteps but I said yes because I knew that if you illustrate Alice's adventures in Wonderland you're going to be asked to illustrate through the looking glass which is in fact I think my favorite of the two books and it's my favorite because it has some of the great poems that Lewis Carroll ever wrote the Jabberwocky, the Warress and the Carpenter, wonderful wonderful poems that I just really wanted to illustrate so it was fantastic to be asked to to illustrate through the looking glass all these years later. Alice's adventures in Wonderland is a summer book. Alice has gone on a wonderful journey on on the river and been told a story it's the middle of the summer she's sleepy she sees the white rabbit going down the rabbit hole and that is her way into Wonderland through the looking glass is different it's a winter book Alice is inside and is by the fireside and she looks up at the mirror on the wall and sees the room reflected back at her and wonders what it might be like on the other side of the glass so she steps through the looking glass into another world and very soon is in the looking glass garden talking to flowers and wandering across a checkerboard landscape that resembles a chess game and that's the construct behind through the looking glass and it's a construct that I really enjoy there's a strange logic that gets turned on its head all the time the white queen is traveling back through time Humpty Dumpty says that words mean exactly what he wants them to mean neither more nor less and of course the whole book starts with one of the great nonsense poems ever written The Jabberwocky I've found so much in through the looking glass to get my teeth into quite literally as as an illustrator wonderful scenes to draw including one that sometimes gets overlooked and it's just an aside towards the end of the book where Alice is sitting at a great big dinner right at the end of Banquet and on one side is the white queen on the other side is the red queen Alice in the middle and they're having a conversation and the white queen talks about a thunderstorm that came to the palace and rattled all the windows and just after that she remembers it was a Tuesday and just after that Humpty Dumpty turns up wanting to have a word with the fishes he's holding a corkscrew and Alice says that's very strange what was he after and she says well Humpty wanted to meet the hippopotamus but it was a Tuesday and Alice says well is the hippopotamus not there on Tuesday he said no no it's it's it's a Thursday the hippopotamus comes along there is a Thursday hippopotamus in through the looking glass it's an illustration I had to draw towards the end we don't often hear about the Thursday hippopotamus he could be a very important character well after the wonderful reading of the white queen and her hairstyle we're going to meet two twins they're rather round and I think they might be privately educated I couldn't say but two schoolboys in a wood standing beneath a tree Alice meets them and wants directions as we'll find out Tweedledum and Tweedledee and the walrus and the carpenter they were standing under a tree each with an arm round the other's neck and Alice knew which was which in a moment because one of them had dum embroidered on his collar and the other D I suppose they've each got Tweedle round at the back of the collar she said to herself they stood so still that she quite forgot they were alive and she was just looking around to see if the word Tweedle was written at the back of each collar when she was startled by a voice coming from the one marked dumb if you think we're waxworks he said you ought to pay you know waxworks weren't meant to be looked at for nothing know how contrary wise added the one marked D if you think we're alive you ought to speak I'm sure I'm very sorry was all Alice could say for the words of the old song kept ringing through her head like the ticking of a clock and she could hardly help saying them out loud Tweedledum and Tweedledee agreed to have a battle for Tweedledum said Tweedledee had spoiled his nice new rattle just then flew down a monstrous crow as black as a tar barrel which frightened both the heroes so they quite forgot their quarrel I know what you're thinking about said Tweedledum but it isn't so know how contrary wise continued Tweedledee if it was so it might be and if it were so it would be but as it isn't it ain't that's logic I was thinking Alice said very politely which is the best way out of this wood it's getting so dark would you tell me please but the little men only looked at each other and grinned they looked so exactly like a couple of great school boys that Alice couldn't help pointing her finger at Tweedledum and saying first boy know how Tweedledum cried out briskly and shut his mouth up again with a snap next boy said Alice passing on to Tweedledee though she felt quite certain he would only shout out contrary wise and so he did you've been wrong cried Tweedledum the first thing in a visit is to say how'd you do and shake hands and here the two brothers gave each other a hug and then they held out the two hands that were free to shake hands with her Alice did not like shaking hands with either of them first for fear of hurting the other one's feelings so as the best way out of the difficulty she took hold of both hands at once the next moment they were dancing round in a ring this seemed quite natural she remembered afterwards and she was not even surprised to hear music playing it seemed to come from the tree under which they were dancing and it was done as well as she could make it out by the branches rubbing one across the other like fiddles and fiddle sticks but it certainly was funny Alice said afterwards when she was telling her sister the history of all this to find myself singing here we go around the mulberry bush I don't know when I began it but somehow I felt as if I'd been singing it for a long long time the other two dancers were fat and very soon out of breath four times round is enough for one dance Tweedledum panted out and they left off dancing as soon as they had begun the music stopped at the same moment then they let go of Alice's hands and stood looking at her for a minute there was a rather awkward pause as Alice didn't know how to begin a conversation with people she had just been dancing with it would never do to say how do you do now she said to herself we seem to have got beyond that somehow I hope you're not much tired she said at least know how and thank you very much for asking said Tweedledum so much obliged added Tweedlede you like poetry yes pretty well some poetry Alice said doubtfully would you tell me which road leads out of the wood what shall I repeat to her said Tweedlede looking round at Tweedledum with great solemn eyes and not noticing Alice's question the walrus and the carpenter is the longest Tweedledum replied giving his brother an affectionate hug Tweedlede began instantly the sun was shining here Alice ventured to interrupt him if it's very long she said as politely as she could would you please tell me first which road Tweedlede smiled gently and began again the sun was shining on the sea shining with all his might he did his very best to make the billows smooth and bright and this was odd because it was the middle of the night the moon was shining sulkily because she thought the sun had got no business to be there after the day was done it's very rude of him she said to come and spoil the fun the sea was wet as wet could be the sands were dry as dry you could not see a cloud because no cloud was in the sky no birds were flying overhead there were no birds to fly the walrus and the carpenter were walking close at hand they wept like anything to see such quantities of sand if this were only cleared away they said it would be grand if seven maids with seven mobs swept it for half a year do you suppose the walrus said that they could get it clear I doubt it said the carpenter and shed a bitter tear oh oysters come and walk with us the walrus did beseech a pleasant walk a pleasant talk along the briny beach we cannot do with more than four to give a hand to each the eldest oyster looked at him but never a word he said the eldest oyster winked his eye and shook his heavy head meaning to say he did not choose to leave the oyster bed but four young oysters hurried up all eager for the treat their coats were brushed their faces washed their shoes were clean and neat and this was odd because you know they hadn't any feet four other oysters followed them and yet another four and thick and fast they came at last and more and more and more all hopping through the frothy waves and scrambling to the shore the walrus and the carpenter walked on a mile or so and then they rested on a rock conveniently low and all the little oysters stood and waited in a row the time has come the walrus said to talk of many things of shoes and ships and sealing wax of cabbages and kings and why the sea is boiling hot and whether pigs have wings but wait a bit the oyster said before we have our chat for some of us are out of breath and all of us are fat no hurry said the carpenter they thanked him much for that a loaf of bread the walrus said is what we chiefly need pepper and vinegar besides are very good indeed now if you're ready oysters dear we can begin to feed but not on us the oysters cried turning a little blue after such kindness that would be a dismal thing to do the night is fine the walrus said do you admire the view it was so kind of you to come and you are very nice the carpenter said nothing but cut us another slice i wish you were not quite so deaf i've had to ask you twice it seems a shame the walrus said to play them such a trick after we brought them out so far and made them trot so quick the carpenter said nothing but the butter spread too thick i weep for you the walrus said i deeply sympathize with sobs and tears he sorted out those of the largest size holding his pocket handkerchief before his streaming eyes oh oysters said the carpenter you've had a pleasant run shall we be trotting home again but answer came there none and that was scarcity odd because they'd eaten everyone those poor oysters my goodness they had washed their faces they had brushed their coats and they had lovely lovely shoes on even though they had no feet as an illustrator that was a challenge i've got to say and i attempted to get over that by giving each of the oysters a pair of stilts so that they could wear their shoes on the end of stilts that way they could still look very smart for their walk along the beach next is a wonderful reading of my favorite poem in the entire book it's called jabberwocky jabberwocky twas brilliant and the slithy toes did guire and gimbal in the wabe all mimsy were the borrigoves and the momeraths outgrabe beware the jabberwock my son the jaws that bite the claws that catch beware the jub jub bird and shun the frumius band a snatch he took his vorpal sword in hand long time the manks and foe he sought so rested he by the tum tum tree and stood a while in thought and as in uffish thought he stood the jabberwock with eyes of flame came whiffling through the tulji wood and burbled as it came one two one two and through and through the vorpal blade went snicker snack he left it dead and with its head he went glumping back and hast thou slain the jabberwock come to my arms my beamish boy oh frabjus day collu collay he chortled in his joy it was brilliant and the slithy toes did guire and gimbal in the wabe all mimsy were the borrigoves and the momeraths outgrabe the vorpal blades gone snicker snack we have run out of time it really did go very fast although i'm not sure whether that would be the same for the white queen because of course for her time goes backwards anyway we've come to the end of a lovely visit here in the tulji tent in the story garden of the british library and um i've worn out my pencils so uh all i can say in conclusion is collu collay frabjus day thank you very much for joining us here at the british library our thanks to the beautiful story garden to chris redell and to sam west you can buy chris's book right here on the platform

At two o'clock we've got the market well at least the S&P off about half of percent the Nasdaq off about three quarters the Dow about three tenths Russell's actually flat on the day crude down about 1.45 percent and gold down about a third percent of course this is on the heels of the rail strike being settled at least legislatively today and then of course the big number this morning was non-farm payrolls which increased by 263,000 for the month why the employment rate was 3.7 the payroll numbers were well above the 200,000 estimate why the unemployment rate was just in line and of course this puts a little heat on those people that I think are way too optimistic about next year when we look at a great deal of earnings they're up a little or down a whole lot Z scalar down a little less than 12 percent today and cracker barrel down a little more than 12 percent today the other ones are kind of in there but even some of the semis like Marvel down 4% on the day Ulta which we've been talking about on the show actually flat I didn't really see much reason to get bearish on it although I know a lot of people have been talking that way around the Tigers then but that's cut it now the question is we've got two days after a big move and generally you want to give maybe three days of having at least some kind of continuation and not just seeing that Wednesday was a buying climax only to see a pullback it's very hard to see with the S&P somewhere around 18 or 19 PE going into next year something's got to give and I don't think it's I don't think it's the PE I think it's the price we'll be back with the show in just a few minutes the reality is that navigating financial markets can be risky markets can be chaotic and difficult to understand having the latest


Good morning guys and welcome to today's products and focus. As you can see there, most of the benchmark indices are slightly down this morning and that's one of the concerns as ever that the Ukraine crisis is slowly spiraling out of control as there's more death support overnight and things are certainly getting a bit more dicey over there. You can see the US 30 has begun its slide the last couple of sessions after a very volatile session there on Monday. You can see there that yesterday's session ended quite down negatively and just now we are on the wrong side of potential support at 1641 with a big absence of US macro data and Janet Yellen expected to speak later on today which I expected to be quite dovish in nature especially for the greenback. A very quick look at the UK 100. You can see there that we kind of reversed the gains that we've made there from last week which isn't exactly aggressive but it is a bearish engulfing pattern that we had yesterday. We are just slap bang on that potential support at 6774 we'll have to wait and see how things progress in the US markets and the European markets are due to lead later on today. The Germany 30 will probably be quite a good benchmark index to look at today for exactly what's going to happen in Europe regarding Ukraine. So Japan 325 is getting hurt just now because there's been a fair amount of yen buying overnight safe haven asset allocation so we're below potential support at 14219, next potential support is at 13693 and it really is that dollar yen that's going to be hurting the Japan 325. As you can see we are firmly on the wrong side of 101.80 next potential support is at 180 and we're actually trading near the session lows today as well. As the greenback continues to lose grounds on the back of low interest rates for a longer term in the US while as obviously the Japanese yen will be in vogue as that Ukrainian situation gets worse. If you look at Crudwell West Texas actually had a bit of support yesterday as Crudwell inventories came out a little bit worse than expected so not quite as much in storage as has been anticipated but we were already at record highs the previous week. We are re-challenging 100 spots 61 just now and the fundamentals are ripe for this to be able to accelerate further if there are issues of supply from Russia, pipelines from Ukraine etc etc so gold on the back of that US dollar weakness and unrest in Ukraine is slowly edging up actually it's slightly disappointing considering how much yen interest there has been so gold's just still not really got its full throttle on right now so yen seems to be the safe haven of choice over gold we're slapped back between two ranges that 21 and 55 period SMA and we're quite far away from any potential support resistance in that regard so Euro dollar has been interesting a great session yesterday off the session high is still getting quite close to that potential resistance at 3968 we're kind of floating around here just now waiting for direction however it's got to be capable that we've been talking about oh GBP USD actually having an absolutely fantastic session breaking through once maybe just touching 170 yesterday we've paused for breath just now we're just a little bit below it and you know obviously itself one spot 70 42 is the longer term resistance on this and a lot of people asking what's going to happen next if we if we get there and break through it well you know that back in the day GBP USD was a lot stronger don't think the British government actually wants cable to be that strong for long but as you can see there's still a long potential way it can go if it's going to get back up to the heavy heights that once reached but this is a level to break here this is the high of 2009 and we're not that far away from it right now and we're going great guns here on the weekly chart economic data wise there's nothing really to talk about as I said there is yelling testimony later on in today's session you'll see her on CNBC and Bloomberg later on tonight but she is expected to be quite dovish on the US dollar and that's why you're seeing big gains in cable, Euro and yen major FX crosses keep your eye on the chart for more updates from CNBC clients and our global analyst team and make sure you make insights part your layout so you've got the insight track from that same team as to what's moving the markets today

Okay. Well by gallow To it Okay Well, there were there were quite a few of these anthology series there Maybe a couple of them really stood out, but I'll I'll go through and mention a few of the others here Why don't you go mention a few of those? I think I'll go through and mention a few of the others, okay? That'll sound real nice. Okay One step beyond actually began in 1959 but it did carry over into the 60s, and so I'll mention that I don't really remember one step beyond all that Well, I might have seen a couple episodes probably on reruns. Well, most definitely on reruns I was only Wouldn't really remember seeing the original one, but I did remember seeing some of the reruns Well, that was there was originally called how coa presents presents one step beyond okay, it was a completely different kind of One of those there was really a holdover from the 50s of the single sponsored anthology program general electric theater and craft Playhouse and so forth and some of these stories actually dealt with Real-life kind of things like you see one here the Peter Herco story. He was a an actual guy but a lot of them are just things that were kind of just slightly off-center kind of make you think you know just little a little strange and then Another one called thriller, which I really don't remember at all which was in the 60s was ran from 60 to 62 actually and By golly looks like had Vincent Price here and well not that surprise Peter lips Boris the Okay Just like Vincent Price only different. Yeah Exactly one of those Anyway, I just don't remember this one at all. Although. I know a lot of people have seen it and This this was like really weird stuff Scaredy things boys and girls. Oh, it's good But then one of the big ones one of the big ones probably one of the big ones One of the big ones we're looking at them twilight zone. There you go. I like zone Yeah, that's one of the big ones there with Rod Serling. This was Rod Serling's big one Rod had been in TV for a while there He'd been writing scripts and things and then he got together decided to do this show and I said, okay Go ahead and it just really took off. Now. This was this was off-center shows. This was scary things This was science fiction. We heard stuff. This was all of them. They're all together Watching gosh, I probably started watching Twilight Zone before I even knew what an age was This was one of the first shows I really remember seeing Twilight Zone, this was this was great and one of the Let me see if I can remember one of the first ones I ever remember on Twilight Zone. Gosh, I Can't it was just like remember the first one, but I was like young like Around in there and it was like one of those shows you snuck to watch Cuz you knew mom and dad didn't want you watching that weird stuff So for me, it was like ooh, I'm getting away with something That and Outer Limits were like that because they were on late, right? You could probably only see them on Fridays or Saturday nights when you were allowed to stay up late So it was like ooh, they don't know I'm staying of watching this Well now we have the obligatory question favorite zone episodes Hey, I Know one right off. I'm trying to find it Burgess Meredith. Well Burgess Mary He did quite a few episodes Yeah, that that one right Where is the librarian He's like a business man or something and books are his thing right and he read books all the time and He never has time enough to read books and he just reads anytime. He has a chance and What he does is he was he works in a bank. Yeah, that's right And so at lunchtime he sneaks into the vault just so he could be alone to read his books and the vault door closes and Nuclear war ensues, but he survives and he's the only one left on earth supposedly And so he so he's making this big thing He's got these piles of books in the you know in the steps of the destroyed library And I'm gonna read this pile and I'll read this pile and and then he slips and his glasses fall off And it's the only bear glasses he has Oh And it scared me boy. Oh, yeah, I was like it was like mom. I want a second pair of Ready-to-go case something like this happens I want him ready to roll Okay, let's see There's um, well bear just married if he had like at least a couple more episodes. He had one where He these um, I guess it was like Martians came down and gave him super strength And so he was able to He was just had all the super strength for like I don't know a few hours If not a full day, it was like just before he got to go on TV with it The strength was gone, but he was able to do a lot of things But then after that these venusians came down and gave him a super brains He was like he was able to figure things out and it was it was just they kept doing okay. Mr. Dingle the strong That's that that was that episode and then there's um Gosh, I cannot find this that way anyway was one where Bill Moomey was um, this kid who could make things happen He like made He just makes scary things like when they did Twilight's on the movie They did that but and actually they had Billy Moomey in in that episode But um this one they was he was just a little kid and he was he lived in the country and I remember the last thing He did was he made his uncle or somebody into a jack-in-the-box and he was just real scary And they told him to wish it out into the cornfield or wish it away So they wish it out into the cornfield and you never got to see it But you saw the shadow of it now that one scared me usually this shadow of a jack-in-the-box out in the cornfield It's like a big jack-in-the-box and it used to be his uncle So you know, it's a real guy and it's it was just scary Oh, oh, we're being we're being told it's Billy Billy mummy mummy even though he only has one M in there I always thought it was Moomey myself We'll discuss hobbits later. Yeah, that's it's hobbits, but right. That's a that's a whole that's a whole another hole in the ground Okay, before we certainly before we leave zone we have that friend of mine said you have to mention this or Uh, is I can't remember the name of the episode. I don't know.  I don't know Uh, the episode where the uh, the guy gets the book and uh, the aliens are like Aliens show up and they're like, uh, he's like a uh Translator and he's trying to figure out what this book means the episode is called to serve man Yeah, that I should have remembered that and uh, it turns out that yep The name of the book is to serve man and no, they're not gonna help man. They're gonna cook man It's a cookbook I think gonna get the who was it. Um, it wasn't Ted Cassidy. It was the other guy Richard keel I think was the it might have been Ted Cassidy one of those interchangeable One of those interchangeable tall guys Who was the alien and he's he's laughing and the guy's trying to say it's a cookbook It's a cookbook and he's closing the spaceship.  He'll never get out now because everybody's like Going because this this is a great deal and everything's wonderful and they're gonna help us so much and it's like no you bulls You're gonna And it's like they took this they took this episode and they turned it into a whole series v Was actually probably based on this series Because they they put all the people in the spaceship and they took them away Pretty much the same darn thing all from this one episode Of course, there's the nightmare at 20,000 feet, which is one of my favorites William Shatner Well, you got William Shatner in one of his multiple appearances on Twilight Zone and he's he's a guy who's he doesn't like to fly Anyway, but yet he's got to fly and he's in there and he's nervous anyway.  Right. And so he finally gets a gun and shoots the thing William Shatner can't act They get a gun and shoot him and it's like they had to wheel him away and it's like uh That one you don't really well you did get to see the wing and there was like some damage But when they did the movie it was like there was a lot of damage on the wing Well, this is true, but anyway And certainly one more the Episode eye of the beholder Almost what you could use as a typical zone episode pretty much, you know of the weird twist at the end It's this it's this beautiful woman. Well, actually, you don't you don't know. It's a beautiful woman. It's this It's all from her Viewpoint under the bandages and these bandages and so you see these shadows and people think oh, she's horribly disfigured And they're gonna go on and and they try one more operation And it doesn't work But they take out the bandages and she's a fabulous babe And they and there was like what's the deal and then they switch angles And other doctors are all these horrible looking pig creatures and it's on another planet That's like, I don't know if you can see this This one the Michael Jackson zoom in is there any way to zoom on that picture? It's Or not Oh, they're scary. Look at them There it is. Oh, aren't they terrible. But these were the beautiful people. Yeah on this. Yeah, and I think um, Donna Douglas or somebody was like the babe Yeah, it was Donna Douglas. Yeah, it's ellie may come ellie may She was the babe and it's like she's the horribly disfigured one But they send her away with all these other horribly disfigured people who are just like normal people to ask, you know Then she frequent she sees herself. Oh, yeah, she freaks real bad and she does and they're all like, what's her problem? You know, they're like, well, okay. Well, we'll send her to these people because they're all horribly disfigured too And it's just like normal guys, right? It's okay. And then he realizes That was one of my years. I thought that was all just perspective That's right Well, yeah, I mean if you go back and look at it, sure, but that first time you see it Excuse me. So you guys were scared by twilight zone. You were it had some it had some scary things So that was my big you gotta look I'm like four and five looking at this show Until I was older Exactly. I was like, eight or nine Here's Richard keel with his big head and that deserved man episode Pretty exciting. Whoa, look at that.  Yeah Oh, let's move right along here. They that's right. Okay. Let me see. There were ones like, um Well, okay, you ought to move right into the big one the outer limits I used to believe they were taking over my tv As they had that gradient do not attempt to adjust your television. Oh, I wouldn't love such as knots anyway horizontal We can make it off fuzzy blur or bring it into our crystal clarity For the next hour, we'll have control over your whole darn life So yeah, it's better watching because we are the outer limits and there was an episode on there that That used to just let me see if I can find a picture. It was one about, um These darn giant ants it's called the zady misfits and they landed in this, uh, this southwestern, um base kind of place and I think it was like a rocket base almost anyway It was like a ghost town and there were these big ants that had like faces And they would come around they'd come around their eyes would bow around and then go They'd get on people they'd be all over these people And you find out and so the people all got together at the base and they pretty much killed them They'd stomp on them.  We sent them to you We want something destroyed.  Oh, um outer limits without a doubt. Yeah, because they tried to be creepier. Right. They were creepier I mean there were there were a lot of episodes twilight zone. They were almost there were like humorous. Yeah Oh, yeah, I mean and you really didn't see that in our limits at all. It was like We had to have the freak you out the week and there's and there's something interesting about our limits is the fact that that When abc and it is abc, right? Yeah who uh When they accepted the show it was on the premise that We want to see monsters and we want to see a monster within the first five minutes And that's how even if you watch the episodes most the episodes There's a monster in the first five minutes because they said oh, it's a monster show. We can get away with that Yeah And so a great deal outer limits in zone I saw rerun, you know, it was total rerun time for me I you know, I wasn't conscious I guess during those Early years when they were actually on I think that's what added to the creepiness though that they were on late at night Yeah, and they were kind of in my household. It's kind of forbidden Forbidden viewing No, not stay up and watch that young lady have nightmares and keep the rest of us up all night Well, by the way, I just want to tell the columbus audience that uh until recently zone was uh The exclusive rights for this area were owned by uh channel 28 But that just recently lapsed so when 43 in cleveland if you have cable and if you don't have cable You can't be watching our show. So, uh, we're gonna soon be able if you're watching our show and uh So 43 when they start showing zone and they do everyone so while we will we'll actually be able to see it And they won't black it out. So we couldn't be more pleased about that. Hey, it couldn't be happier All right They were just my goodness those zany myth is they they just they just kind of stick there That's like one of my episodes. I could just remember and then when they showed it again. Um channel 34 had it for a while Um making the early 70s or so they had them and I'd see those airs those hurt zanties That was just great. All right, gonna says just one of my favorite episodes on um outer limits Well, should we like chug into like one of my real favorites and I saw when it was done I guess I saw when it was done. I guess we all did. Yeah Night gallery That was like the show. Um rod serling's second venture into doing the um, but what did you kind of think? 60 no no 70 I was a little older when that one was 70 to 73. I was allowed to watch it Now the thing about that was that uh rod serling uh wanted to do another series But the network started screwing around with all the scripts And he said I don't have anything to do with the series and the network said no We have a contract with you to do the openings. So despite the fact he detested the series most of it He would he had to come on each time and do the opening Yeah, had neat pictures too, and it had some great stories. Yeah, a lot of them were like, um, let me see they would do like a long one And sometimes it would be a long one that would last for the whole show Or then they'd have like let me see was it was like a I guess it was an hour show And so they would have like maybe two somewhere hour and somewhere half hour or some sort of deal right Let's say like there was always a couple of stories Yeah, or somewhere like in that so they'd have like a long one maybe a couple long ones And then they had the little short quick ones which were some of my favorites Yeah, I like the short ones were a lot of the short ones were good like there's one about um Well these this um Couple they're sitting down there. They're like going to bed or something and here it is wasting about daddy I want to drink the water And the guy's trying to ignore it, you know and the wife says daddy Come on. He's your child. Oh, all right So he goes into the kitchen gets some water goes in and gives it to the kid The kid's this giant frankenstein monster, and he's in the crib. Thank you daddy takes the water splashes it over his face Because he misses his mouth. That was just one of the quick funny ones Hmm I don't remember that one That one was just one of my favorites. Uh, they were just a lot of real good ones.  He'd like he'd think about it He'd think about it think about it and he would be into the picture and he'd be in there He'd be fishing he's um peaceful quiet. There's nobody chasing him or anything He's just real quiet and peaceful and then he finally got to know down to the time where they were Actually people chasing him because they realized who he was and he's running to the art gallery And uh, he goes in there to the place where the picture is he says let me get into the picture Let me get into the picture. Let me get into the picture and he screams And people come into the gallery. They're looking all around. They can't find him anywhere and they're looking around and they see this picture of uh Some uh singer somebody had been crucified And it's got this horrible expression of pain on his face And it's in the same place where the fishing picture used to be and they had moved the fishing picture someplace else And so the guys It could have been for for all you know, that's that was just a um A creepy way and and night gallery was actually uh now that it's in when it's in syndication They're showing night gallery along with episodes from another series Six cents. Yeah, they're actually they're re-editing them and supposedly they well, I mean According according to this one critic in one of my books They were like, oh, they they they took this show six cents and it was an hour long show and they made it into a half hour long Uh for syndication purposes and that makes it into this horrible thing Because it doesn't make any sense in a half hour format Well, it didn't always make a whole lot and besides gary collins is such a slow actor.  Let's go. Come on. I like that the night gallery shows always seem to have like it was like The opening and everything gave it such a sense of Of mystery and you know, it was intriguing. I don't know why I like the six cents probably because no one else in the house liked it so It's a power struggle thing Okay, let's see. Here's um another episode of um, oh Open other zone episodes. Well another night gallery and you can't get out Oh, man, tragically trapped. Um, let me see uh, there's a um A disc jockey who who dies and He well, no wait. No, he doesn't die. He goes he gets transferred to this new station That's um, like I guess it was like whell or something like And he's in there and he's setting it up and everything and he he's putting out records and it always playing something demonic Regardless of what record he puts on there's always something demonic playing and he's trying to figure it out And he's trying to he's going around. He's trying to fix it and he gets electrocuted.   Well, here's where you're gonna be And He he he wants to see the fire to brimstone and everything He ends up with these old couple that's showing slides He's like, oh man bummer bummer It's comparable like a network executive being put at a ct The ultimate favorite of mine and my kids love it, um offered hitchcock Oh, yeah, yeah, that's true. I like the one where The woman kills her husband with some frozen meat And they cooks and serves it to the cops destroying the evidence That's just so clever We see you see both zone and And hitchcock have both come back now Uh, at least in they were out there for a while and now Uh, usa picked up one or did they pick up that hitchcock and uh, and zone just kind of bopped all around the place It was on cbs for a while you know it was in syndication all over the place and uh I remember from uh from a hitchcock one of the um one of the uh Episode one of the newer episodes of hitchcock Was I believe robert conrad was playing this washed up actor And William shander Yeah, it was and parker parker stevenson was this other guy who's gonna replace him that one's beautiful And he's like he's like he realizes his career is over unless he gets rid of this young guy So he kills him and they show how he how I mean without actually showing the gore They show like the expressions on his face and all that he chops the guy apart with a chainsaw and then And then it dissolves him in acid, but the only thing left is the guy's head and then uh And then the guys from the studio show up and say we want to give you the part and they're trying to get in And he hides the head And they're like let's have a drink Ah Yeah, I freak the kids out real bad by having them sit down and watch this show And i'm sure they'll never get to an ice bucket as long as they live Oh, mom, there was a head in the ice box. No, no And we certainly seem to see uh even new series like uh like friday 13th the series and and the hitchhiker Tales from the dark side all stuff from the crypt Tales from the crypt Yeah, all these shows come up in the 80s because it's so it's certainly Uh the anthology format still seems to be viable at least in syndication The networks don't seem to want to want to touch it with a 10-foot ball, but uh, but it certainly seems like Seems like it is uh catching back on and the fans just love them. Oh, yeah I think tales from the crypt really borrows from the The hitchcock and the rod surling thing Having someone intro the shows Well, anyways, we're given the signal that we gotta be getting out of here. So uh, next time on vast wasteland We're gonna talk about uh, oh, what are we talking about? Oh darn the luck We're talking. Oh gimmicky next time on vast wasteland. So uh, uh For all of us here at vast wasteland, we'll see you next time and now here are some highly, uh exciting and High tech credits


So why do 90% of traders fail? We're going to be talking about that in today's video. So I hope you guys enjoy it. Let's get right into it. So the first reason why you're failing at trading is because of your lack of patience, guys. A lot of people out there, beginners especially, they think the stock market is a get rich quick scheme. They think they can just hop in the stock market with $1,000, $2,000, maybe $5,000, $10,000, and they think they can just flip this money into a million dollars in a year. Boom, done, retired, beaches, palm trees, pina coladas and mojitos. That's not how it is, guys. That is not how it is. If you lack patience, you're not going to make it in this game of stock market trading. Why do you need patience?  And what does patience do? Well, it pushes you to endure these failures and to continue to pursue the craft which is trading. So be patient, guys. Patience is key. If it's not working within the month or two that you start, that's okay. If you took losses, your first couple of trades, your first month or two, that's okay because there's a huge learning curve. Just stick to it, keep trading, keep at it, and you'll get better. Another big contributing factor, two people failing in trading, 90% of people starts with this E letter right here. And yes, that is emotions, guys. We have fear of missing out right here, greed, and the lack of a plan. So emotions are the biggest thing with trading, especially with people just starting out. So we have fear of missing out, meaning that you see a stock running up. Let's say it's already up 5%, 6%. Let's say, for example, a stock just reported earnings, right? The stock is flying up 5%, 6%, 7%. This is when the fear of missing out starts to kick in when you're like, okay, crap. Should I hop into the stock right now? I'm scared, you know, I'm going to miss out. You know, is it going to go up another 5%, 10% where I'm going to miss out on some gains? And then you hop into that stock due to fear of missing out. And lo and behold, that stock starts to fall down and you lose your money like that. So that's the number one emotion that you have to deal with is FOMO, as it's called in the trading community, fear of missing out. And another big one here is greed, guys. Greed is huge. You have to have a plan of how much percent profit you want to take on every single trade, right? Let's say, for example, I'm personally in Coca-Cola at the time that I'm recording this video. I have a plan of taking about a 3%, 4% profit over the next couple of weeks if this trade ends up going my way. Well, greed would be if you didn't have a goal target and let's say you want to get 10%, 15%, you want to get as much possible profit as you can. Well, that is not how you're going to become consistent in the stock market because you can't aim for the home run trade every single time that you're trading, guys. That's not how it works.  You want more. You want 20% profit out of that stock. And let's say the stock slowly starts to tank. It goes to 7%.  And then 5%, 2%, all of a sudden, you could have taken your profits at 10%, 15%, but greed got the best of you, right? Greed got the best of you and you're ending up with 2% profit when you could have just taken your profits at 10%, 15% when the stock was all the way up. So emotions, guys, that stems into my third point here, which is the lack of a plan which kind of stems into the greed portion. If you have a plan, guys, if you have, let's say, a 2% target on a stock, that will eliminate the greed because once it hits 2%, you'll have a limit sell order or you sell manually with a market order and boom, you take your profits and you're done with it, guys. And let's talk more about lack of a plan here. So not having a plan when you're trading stocks will absolutely be the death of you, especially when you're starting out trading, guys. You need to understand whenever you're putting your hard-earned money into a position, you have to know when am I selling this stock? When do I potentially plan on adding more money to this stock? When am I going to cut my losses? How am I going to mitigate my risk when I'm trading this stock, guys? A lot of people out there, you know, they hop blindly into stocks. Trust me, I get DMs all the time on Discord, you know, on Instagram, on YouTube, even on the comment section. People are like, when should I buy this stock, Stas? When should I sell this stock? Should I cut my losses right now? You know, a lot of people just hop in blindly and this leads to 90% of people failing. If you have a goal of cutting your losses at 2%, taking a 5% profit on this position, and you're consistent with your set of rules and your strategies, you are way, way more likely to be successful because trust me, guys, let's say you have $5,000. Let's just say $10,000. Let's say you have $10,000 and you hop into a leveraged ETF, for example. That's really, really volatile, right? Let's say you're up 5% on your position and you hopped into that position without even knowing what you're going to do. You have no idea. Well, what are you going to do there, guys? This is not a situation that you want to be in. You don't want to rely on other people asking other people, should I sell now? Is it a good time to buy more? Should I get rid of this? Should I do that? Should I do this? You have to have your own devised plan. So when you're up 5%, if you already had the plan of selling at 5%, you're done, right?  But let's say you have $10,000. You have a 2% stop loss set. It triggers that stop loss and then you're done. You move on to the next trade. Potentially you can trade that same stock if it does show some better upside to it. And that is just why you need a plan, guys. Just understand where you're going to cut your losses, where you're going to add more money, where you're going to sell the stock, how much money you want to put in. Let's say if you're swing trading, right? I personally do a lot of swing trading and I scale into my positions typically with about 15%, 20%, 30% sometimes with my goal position at first. So if at first, guys, the stock doesn't go my way, let's say I put 15% in and it slowly starts to go down. Let's say it triggers my 2% stop loss. I wouldn't have lost as much money as if I put in my whole entire goal position. Let's say my whole entire goal position in this case is $10,000. I put that right off the bat. I would lose more money than I would have lost if I put 20% of my position, which in that case with the same example would be $2,000. So it's all about planning things out, strategizing. And this really does take some time to really nail down your own strategy and what your risk tolerance is. And that's just really important, guys, when it comes to trading. And devising a plan like this will really help you avoid being that 90% statistic that fails in the stock market when it comes to trading. So the final thing I want to talk about today, contributing to 90% of people failing in the stock market, is A, trading with too much money, trading with more than you're willing to lose.  Even if you're under the PDT rule, there are still platforms out there like YouStockTrade, for example, where you can trade unlimited amount of times per day because that particular platform YouStockTrade on a little tangent here, it's a peer-to-peer lending platform. Meaning you can trade as many times as you want because you're trading and exchanging shares with another person using YouStockTrade. There's no middleman there. But that's another story for a whole other video.  Like I mentioned earlier on in this video, and you're trading just for the sense of trading, right? And at this point, there's just no strategy behind it, guys. You're just blindly trading.  I need to take a position, but a lot of people don't understand. The best thing you can actually do sometimes is take no position at all, not to trade for the day at all. Sometimes this is the better return on investment because think about it. If you have $10,000, for example, what's better? Forcing 5-10 day trades in a day and potentially losing, let's say, 5% on the day, which would be $500 of $10,000 or just holding the cash, making 0% gain and keeping that $10,000. Obviously, guys, the second option is better because you're not losing money at all. You're not making money, but you're not losing money at all either, which is a very, very good thing.  Let's say you have $10,000, same exact example, and your whole entire net worth is $10,000. You don't want to trade with that entire $10,000. If you traded with that $10,000 and you took a 20% hit, you weren't following some of the other rules we were talking about earlier in this video. You didn't have a stop-loss. You didn't have a plan in place. And all of a sudden, you're down $2,000. You're down to $8,000. And that is extremely discouraging, right? That's extremely discouraging. And that will lead you to ultimately failing in the stock market to completely quitting the majority of people would quit at that point. But of course, if you have patience, like I said earlier in this video, although you should not be trading with your whole net worth anyway, you can probably push through that. But what I would recommend, guys, again, I am not a financial advisor by any means. Do your own research. But what I would recommend, let's say for example, you have $10,000. You should be trading with probably $500 of those dollars, maybe $1,000 if you're extremely, extremely risk-tolerant. This way, if you do lose half of that money, let's say for example, if you make a terrible trade, that won't discourage you too much and you'll still be able to push through and continue to learn the ropes of trading. So super important, guys, don't trade too much. Don't trade too much. Sometimes not trading at all is the best, best scenario. And don't trade your entire net worth.  You're willing to take a dip on, you're willing to lose a small portion of because that is how you can be more encouraged to continue to trade and continue to learn the game here of stock market trading. So I hope you guys enjoyed this video on a couple of ways and reasons why 90% of people fail out there on the stock market.

So now that we've looked at simple circuits for resistors, as well as series circuits and parallel circuits, we can start to tackle combination circuits. So quick reminder, a basic resistor circuit has just one battery and one resistor. And it's governed by Ohm's law. And we can use the different algebraic rearrangements for Ohm's law. So for a series circuit, there is one path around the whole circuit. And it never splits. So that's sort of our key thing we're looking for. In a parallel circuit, there's two paths around the circuit, one going through resistor 1 and one going through resistor 2. But the key that we're looking here is at some point, in this case up here, it splits off. And then those two paths come back together at a second point. So in combo circuits, we're going to have part series and part parallel. In the series section, there's one path with no splits. For the parallel section, it splits and comes back together. And we could also think of this in terms of that each side before it splits, I've got the same high side potential. And then when it comes back together, I'm going to have the same low side potential for both paths. So let's look at an example here. In this case, we can look at this section marked off by these two little purple dots. And between them, I've got a single path that goes through R1 and R2. And so this is a series section. But I don't have one path that goes through all the resistors, so R3 is going to have to be treated separately. But first, I can deal with R1 and R2 as a series section of the circuit. Here's another example. And here, if I look between these two purple dots, I've got one path and another path. And it splits apart at one place, comes back together at the other place. So this is a parallel section, where now R2 and R3 are in parallel. R1's not in parallel with them, so we'd have to come back and treat this part separately. Now let's look at a third example. A lot of students will glance at this really quickly, look at these two dots, and say, oh, look, R1 and R2 are in series, but they're not. See, there's a point in here in the middle where it's going to split off. So this is not a series section. Instead, we want to look at these two points. And these two points, I've got one path and a second path. So it split off at this point, and it came back together at this point, so this is a parallel section. Now let's look at this section. Now, if I look at these two points here, I might be tempted to say, oh, look, R1 and R3 are parallel to each other. See, that wire and that wire is parallel. But if I actually start trying to analyze these parallel sections, I've got one path down here. My second path, though, doesn't include just R1. It's got R1 and R2 on it. So I can't treat R1 being in parallel with R3 or R2 in parallel with R3. First, I'm going to want to deal with R1 and R2. So instead, if I look at these two points, I can clearly see that I've got one path between those two points. And so this is a series section for R1 and R2. Once I've dealt with R1 and R2 in series, then I could come back and look at R3. In general, when you're dealing with these circuits, you first have to recognize the series and parallel sections. Then you can replace those small sections with the equivalent resistance for that section, either in series or in parallel. Then you mathematically work through the full circuit. This video, we really emphasize this recognizing what sections are in series and parallel, because if you don't do that right, nothing else is going to work out for your circuit. So that introduces combo circuits. You'll need a lot more practice and a look at those other strategy steps.


So I'm Manny Fernandez from Silicon Valley. I'm so excited to be here in Finland. This is an exciting conference that you guys have I'm an angel investor and serial entrepreneur founder of SF angels group a 32 member group. I didn't get there by myself though I mean I did have a mentor who was an early member and he was an early investor in Google and PayPal so he taught me a lot and but through that experience I was able to Learn a lot about crowdfunding and I was gonna try to figure out how many people here are looking to raise money now Or maybe in the future. Can you raise your hand? Put them up. I'ma come on around around over there. Good. All right terrific. So what I'm gonna do is Talk about the secrets of raising millions of dollars I'm bringing this knowledge from Silicon Valley, but I want to not only have it trapped here I want you to kind of get it out to others and And so take out your phone and tweet some of the clues I'm going to talk about in the stories that help you raise money without having to deal with the angels or venture capitalists. Is that fair? so There was once was a startup in a small town very similar to Helsinki where they weren't connected to any investor and But the founder he kind of got a notepad in paper and he started writing two to three minute video about what he was offering And he thought about what's in it for me, you know, what's in it for me is everyone's favorite radio station wi-i-f-m And when people hear what's in it for them is like music to their ears But when you start talking about things in it for you is like static So he wanted to create a great video where it inspired people when what's in it for them And then he grabbed all his email addresses from wherever he had them from school and and got them all together And made sure his profile on facebook was great his twitter account is linked in therefore he created his own broadcasting system And then he reached out to friends and family and told him he was going to do this campaign on Kickstarter And they wanted to make sure that he had lined up people in advance that would fund him But he didn't launch it yet In that process he ran into a few people that did not have any money Anyone run into people say they can't back you because they don't have any money This is what you do with them So he said well, can you at least share my profile or help promote it when I launch it? And they agreed so he had a list of people that would back him financially as well as back him with social proof if you will Then he launched this campaign But he didn't sit back and wait he worked hard promoting it via social media Facebook twitter linked in emails and it was the end of 30 days. What was really amazing It was one of the top 25 campaigns of all time But that's not the end of the story There was a big vc firm. There's a gentleman named tim draper It was an early investor in skype tesla hotmail reached out to him They kind of made an agreement and then us his dream fund had heard about it And at the end of this round he raised over two million dollars And this all started based on him being on kickstarter In a little town and but he raised two million dollars in equity The moral of the story is that you can do it too. It didn't cost him any money to create a video His emails didn't cost him any money knowing his family and friends didn't cost him any money And he worked hard behind it. So these are things that could be used to raise lots of money Now on the equity side It's a little different If you're going to go directly to raise money for your investment, I'm going to teach you some techniques That are used at our office as well as other crowdfunding platforms No, I did learn a few things investing in a few equity crowdfunding platforms I'm going to talk about one of the winners So here's an example of one of the winners realty shares. They are I was a first investor and advisor and they're one of the leading real estate crowdfunding sites today The reason I bring that up is because I'm going to show you some techniques on how you You you yeah, even you Could raise money no matter where you're at in the world How you can raise money from silicon valley even right here. Anyone want to want to hear about that? I need some cheers before I continue though All right, so this is how it works. Most people don't know how to find angels I like angels list go to angel.co and use it as a research tool But then again, how are you going to contact them people say? Well, you go on LinkedIn and you can find them there But if you're not connected to them, how are you going to reach out to them people ask? Well You you buy this thing called inmills for a hundred dollars You can get 10 messages and you message them something. Well, what do you message them? Well, you do something short and sweet It's like, hey, I'm an entrepreneur working on x y and z widget And if you're interested in talking to me, let's have a discussion But in that email I want you to put a link And that link is Is a schedule one to the system we use well, you'll have a specific link where they can set up a time that works for them Then you confirm that time and then magic happens Is that when you can then Talk to them via go-to meeting no matter where they're at in the world We do this out of our san francisco office We have 4400 credited investors that are global And I don't leave the office. In fact, I remember when I was younger I would get a call from an investor that wanted to meet with me Maybe one of you guys had the same situation You get so excited you drive to meet up for coffee and you prepare and there's a short meeting Then you got to run on the other side of town and do the same thing Take control of the investors and have Them do this system. Therefore you can leverage your time more and therefore use the internet to your advantage Does that make sense so far? But then when they call you and they talk to you, what are you going to say to them? I think most entrepreneurs I hear thousands of pitches They talk about everything else But what an investor is looking for and they don't have a plan presentation That's systematic every single time that talks exactly what the investors are looking for Now we have a little time left. Would you like to see how a professional presents? I gotta get everyone's commitment. Would you like to see how a professional presents? Yeah, how about over this side? All right, I'm going to show you some secrets using Silicon Valley and how to present you can use this here in Finland I don't care where they're at in the world as long as they're human beings more likely to not This will work. Is that fair? So it starts like this the story the story it's all about the emotional story So myself as an angel investor founder of the group I'm privileged and honored to be an invited guest panelist speaker in silicon valley And I seen thousands of startups and many startups that are promising that we're wanting to get funded But the most amazing thing is I had a lot of investors coming up to us and they say You know, we want to co-invest with you I said, oh great. Maybe we can come to our meetings. Well, sorry. So I live in london I live in singapore I live in texas So I started to realize that many people wanted to be invested with us But they weren't living there So I saved their business card and I had a stack of startups business cards that we're looking for funding But they weren't quite right for the our group Then one day it was probably around november or december of last year. I started thinking back I thought back when my early 20s my first dream was to create a startup My second dream was to get funded So it hit me I should create a system to help investors get connected with startups So that's where dream funded came about So as a leader you have to attract followers And or people that are supporters of your vision So and investors always want to know about the team So the second slide is a team ladies and gentlemen And you just talk about the team briefly because they're investing primarily in the team myself Manny Fernandez been a successful entrepreneur Then jaco white a recent harvard graduate that helps us with legal compliance Rexford hips helps us with accounting and a former googler Then you go into more detail kind of show me your traction show me your network So like we were unfortunate that we co-invested with say top tier of each c firms mellow ventures as an early investor in uber You know tim draper or reed hoffman a co-founder of linkedin and paypal anyone know these names by the way Pretty well known names, right or early twitter investor And then what you do is you move forward and try to show them your traction Here's some of our portfolios not all of them At this time when we were six months in business We had eight portfolio companies which were challenging to get into And we had 3,500 accredited investors In fact, we're proud to say we're one of the four companies in a history of crowdfunding that Actually has an exit so people are actually doing well in these platforms Our business model because investors want to understand how are you going to make money most startups leave that out don't do that Well, we make a small percentage up front and carry interest most people don't know what carried interest is So you got to slow it down So if you're in a real technical field Slow it down try to explain it to them as they're like eight years old It'll and they'll speed you up. They'll be like. Yes. I understand it You know the venture capitalist or v-season rooms like yes, I get what carried interest is but the normal person probably would not What that is is basically a performance based fee if a company is acquired The investors get their money black plus 85 percent 15 percent is kept for dream funded. Does that make sense? Say yes So our funding process essentially we create a specific fund for the startup and then we allow others to co-invest in that fund So therefore there's not a hundred startups on a cap table 200 It's only kept in that that fund we represent the the company and we invest in that specific company Our legal structure is pretty simple people think it's too complex. It's simple We have a portfolio of companies and we have a small little legal structure And in the inside of dream funded so you show them the product ladies and gentlemen inside of dream funded It looks kind of like this And then you go on to a little bit more detail on the investor because the investors care about one thing What do you think the investors care about? I need your help what How much money a little bit or a lot A lot anyone else agree about that All right, so you got to tell them what's in it for them You got to talk what's in it for them. See our model is that when a company start to exit Then there's a thing called carried interest which is 15 percent of the profits will be split among investors and our team and not only that A potential acquisition someone can buy you startups out there think about an exit acquisition strategy If you think you're going to own your business forever They don't probably want to invest you got to show them a way they can get out and then show them a potential acquisition target So they can see you thought through a to z help them through the mission that you're trying to accomplish Don't let them try to think You know like they're going to guess for you you got to take them through that imagine it being a movie The beginning middle in the end. Does that make sense? Yes, good.  We got 950 thousand dollars already committed We have about 50k left Contact me if you're interested But it wasn't about a pitch that is the system that you should think about doing notice how quick that was That right makes sense You cover the store you cover the team you cover how you make money You show how an investor can make money and a potential exit and basically what you want the investor to do And sometimes in the presentation is the close So you don't have to push push them is either right for them or not And sometimes prescreening your investor is important if you're doing Mechanical engineering type services and this investor only cares about say Real estate don't talk to them because they're more likely or not will not be investors in your startup Think about through equity crowdfunding in advance target people who would care about what you're doing Target people who would care now. I'm very close to the end of my talk, but I want to say this is not about a moment on the stage It's about a movement It's about a movement of helping more promising companies just like you gets funded Everyone with me on that But I need your help I need your help to tell your friends about dream funded I need you to email people about dream funded promote dream funded because the more you promote us we can help you Does that make sense? So I showed you a lot of tips and tactics that are available in silicon valley And now you can use them anywhere today, but I am going to open it up for questions Um, there's my contact information for the investors in the room and the many thousands watching online Let's support the next generation of entrepreneurs. Let's co-invest together So giant, you know join dream funded and for the startups in the room Email get funded at dream funded. That'll be the start of your process those. I want to contact me contact me there Now i'm going to open it up for questions. Anyone have questions raise your hand Yes, sir. What can I what's your question? Oh, that was a good question by the way. He asked me that I invest in any Finland companies. Actually, you know, I did I invested in you a rival crowdfunding site So congratulations. We have an alliance investor and dream funded has created a bridge from silicon valley to europe So maybe because initially our goal was to figure out how to get some of the silicon valley money helping other Parts of the world. Do you think that's a good idea? I think we're kind of spoiled, you know In san francisco, we have more funding than any other part of the world But if we can direct them in the right places, maybe they can see other investment opportunities great question I'm looking forward to you continually Being a leader in the space. How about anyone have a question here? We're almost out of time ladies and gentlemen One quick story. There was a guy that came up to me Six months ago and he asked me if I could invest in this hair product And I said, well, I'm sorry. I invested in software and internet companies And then he kind of grabbed my arm and it was kind of weird, but I looked at his eyes And I was like he's up. Can you help me? Can you help me out of raise money? And I remembered myself when I was 19 I always wanted to figure out the secret on how to raise money because those that know how to raise money Ladies and gentlemen really kind of control the world So I said, you know what I'm going to give you a business card And this is a business card. I'm going to give you put You put the power point on the headline I seen a good power point that's been used a lot in the venture firms in our angel group More likely than not if you use this power point people are raising money based on this So I gave him this card. He sent me an email And he put power point on the headline and sent him the power point It was interesting about it, but 45 days later he sent me an email. Oh my god, I raised $600,000 Anyone here want a copy of that power point? Raise your hand Wow, a lot of a lot of hands. Well, I made it easy for you guys the moment you email get funded at dream funded You'll get an auto responder. You'll get that power point. That's my gift to you I hope you use it and and raise all the money for your dreams. Thank you ladies and gentlemen. I'm Manny Fernandez


OK. It's actually time for the next talk. We've got Sandro Andrade all the way from Brazil. He's also a KDEV board member. He's going to be talking about creating mobile applications with Qt about architecture and basic design decisions and frameworks to create mobile applications with Qt. So the stage is yours. Let's begin. All right. Good afternoon, everyone. So today I'm going to talk about architecture to Qt mobile applications. And this is the kind of subtitle we use to attract people to the talk. So frameworks called generators and beyond. So don't get disappointed. I promise to. I won't show anything very surprising. So yes. So a bit about myself. I work as a professor in the Federal Institute of Technology in Bahia, in Brazil, in the sunny city of Salvador. I've been developing with KDE and Qt since 2001, I guess. And also doing things for KDE since 2008. And I'm also in the board of directors of KDEV since two years ago. I'm doing some stuff in KDE at due, in particular our software for music education, which is Minuet. And I'm also one of the persons trying to push to move things forward for KDE and Qt in Brazil and in Latin America in general. So you should have heard already about our Latin American KDE desktop summit. And lately about Qt in Brazil. So brace yourselves. Maybe this is something you want to keep tuned about that. Maybe it's a conference where do you want to attend next year. If it happens again, hopefully it will. And so over the last one and a half year, we've been developing some Qt mobile projects in the university. I work at in collaboration with some local companies and also developing some Qt mobile applications for our own needs. And we need to have those applications running on Android and iOS. So we are, of course, using Qt to make that. So this is an application we are currently working on to manage our administrative, academic stuff, like taking student attendance and provide some particular communication channels for professors and students. This is another example which is already done. It's a mobile application for dealing with this kind of group buying like group on when you can get better geos if you buy things and in groups of people. So when going through this project, all of us already know that Qt provides a very rich and somehow mature framework to create mobile applications for at least the most popular platforms like Android and iOS. And so it can somehow keep things working pretty well across those platforms with some minor exceptions. But still, when you find yourself developing mobile applications which are large and complex, so you still need to come up with a good architecture to ensure that things can be easily maintained as the application grows over the time. So we don't have any beauty support in Qt to provide any sort of higher level framework to provide efficient architectures for mobile applications. And at the same time, we've seen that a lot of functionalities demanded by such applications are somehow recurrent. So we've seen a lot of applications which are a sort of clients server restful communication for doing all kinds of stuff. So this is the kind of thing that is quite amenable to have source code automatically generated to improve productivity and reduce bugs and so on. And so when doing this project, we have identified some Qt disabilities for developing mobile applications. Like as I mentioned before, the lack of a higher level architectural framework to keep, for example, new functionalities implemented as plug-ins we have a lot of functionalities for that in KDE frameworks 5. They are pretty awesome for doing that for desktop applications. But maybe in the mobile world, people usually don't want to have to deal with new dependencies or things that are hard to set up. And we also lack a set of reusable UI components. Kirigami is, of course, a good initiative with respect to that. But still, a lot of common user interfaces workflow can be designed as reusable components and have its development somehow automated by code generation. And also, we still have no built-in support for doing JSON-based restful communication in Qt. We have the XML list model QML object. But nowadays, we still need a sort of JSON list model to make things easier when doing client-server restful communication. Also, it has no built-in support for disconnected operations for those situations when you have no access to a network at that time. But you still want to use your mobile applications and have things synchronized once the connection is restablished. So implementing push notifications is also currently hard to do because you need some sort of platform-specific code if you are doing that in Android or in iOS. And also, we've been facing some issues when deploying and read-write files on Android. You have to put things on that assets directory and on iOS that works in a different way. So OK. So and then once we've identified these Qt disabilities, and we have been working over the last months in some solution which tries to mitigate the issues I'm bringing here. So we think that if you could somehow to come up with a nice reusable and modular reference architecture for mobile applications and then to turn that implementation in a set of templates and then use some code generation technique to provide to automatically generate some boilerplate code that would make Qt mobile development a lot of more productive, at least for those domains where such functionalities appear recurrently. And so that's how we decided to start working on MAG. We call it MAG, in the lack of a better name. So what's MAG, it's actually made of two different parts. So we designed it on a sort of linear architecture based on some dynamic KVML in order to have each functionality of the application implemented as a separated plugin. And then at runtime, those plugins are loaded. And in order to have, for example, the navigation menu and a lot of crud functionalities implemented already directly from such plugins. And then we come up with a set of templates with implement those core architecture and the plugins. And then we've been creating some code generator to allow us for developers to easily create new Qt mobile applications by using this reference architecture and this code generation. And so we have a command line interface, which is implemented based on RubyTor, which is a command line interface framework, which is used in Ruby on Rails framework. And so the templates are specified in Herb, which is also the template engine language used by Ruby on Rails. And generators are modular. So we wanted, since the beginning, to make it easy for developers to create new templates to implement new UI workflows or new client server communication. So we provide a JSON list model to handle JSON-based RESTful communication. And we have also some features to provide an automatic download of icons from Google material, icons to use then automatically in your Qt mobile applications. So currently we have some templates, which may be useful if you are developing Qt RESTful mobile applications. So we have some templates not only for the Qt client side, but also for the RESTful server side. So we have a template for creating a new RESTful server based on Sinatra. Sinatra is a micro framework for creating new RESTful servers in Ruby. And also we have another template to support new models and new services in the RESTful server you have just created. And we have a template for creating simple Qt mobile applications based on dynamic QML plugins. And also we have templates for creating Qt mobile applications with communicates with servers which provide RESTful services. So that's the time when I should provide you some demo. And maybe I will try to switch the microphones because I had to type. Hello? Yeah, can you hear me? Cool. And so this is how you can install Maggie currently. I want to do that here because I have it already installed. But you can clone the repository, install Ruby, run gem install bundler, and run the bundle to install all the required dependencies. And then you have the command line interface in the directory being Maggie. In the future, we can have a gem install Maggie. I'm not a Ruby specialist. I'm actually learning it while doing this kind of stuff. OK, so I have it installed here. So if you run being Maggie and help, so you have some description about the commands available.  I have some script here. I will just copy it. And so here I'm saying Maggie, create a new project called simple application. And the type is simple app. So we have a set of templates. So here, you just pass the template you want to use when generating this project. So with that, you have a lot of boilerplate code already generated here. And now we can create a simple plugin for this application by running mag generate. You can just type help plugin. Then I can create a new plugin, call it and talks. We want to create some application for showing the academy program. And then here you can pass the path to the application you created before. So this is simple app. And I guess that's it. So with that, we have here in the folder plugins and a new plugin created for this application. Each plugin has a metadata JSON file which describe, for example, the name that will appear in the menu of the application and which QML file will be loaded when you click on that menu entry. So here we can already build and run this project. And here you have your simple application with a menu entry which was already collected from the installed plugins. When you click here, you have a hello from the talks plugin. And then you can just keep creating plugins. And those are automatically loaded with no need to rebuild your application. So this is our basic plugin. And OK. But we can also create some server-side and client-side plugins. So now I'm going to show you how we create a new RESTful server based on Ruby Sinatra. And so for that, we just need to run Maggie by passing a different project template. So now I'm saying just use the Sinatra server template. So I have a new project created here. And we can also create a new RESTful server plugin for that server. So this is a longer comment. Here I'm basically saying create a conference server-side plugin. The type of the template is Sinatra server-side plugin. And the application path where the plugin should be installed is my server. And here I can pass a set of the fields that should be stored at that server-side plugin. So if I want to store data about conference, so I'm storing the acronym and the name, the city, where the conference is happened, the venue, we start date and date. So with that, we create a plugin here. We can just run rake, the db migrate to create the database for this one. And I would now just to populate the database with some information. So I will add three conferences here. So we have Kitcom Brazil, Academy and ConfKD India. And I can finally start the server, my server here. OK. So with that, I have already a Racheful server running with automatically provide me a Racheful endpoint called conferences, where I can just try it here. So this is the answer. The Racheful server is providing. And OK, I will keep the server running at this tab. And now I will create a new project for the Qt mobile Racheful client for this server. For that, we will run again our client line interface to create the application called MyApplication by using the template Racheful application. And finally, I can ask it to create a new server-side plugin for Racheful communication. And this will be called conferences. I pass again the template I'm going to use to create the client-side plugin. And this is the name of the icon that should be used in the menu. So here, you pass the Google Material icon category and the icon name. And again, the set of fields that the server provides. Right? OK. So with that, I can just build the mobile application. So we can have it running. We have already conferences entry in the menu. And when you click here, it already makes a call to the Racheful server, gets our JSON back, and just provides this in a new list. When you click here, you can see the details for the conference. So we can easily create another plugin also for the server-side. And so let's create a new server-side plugin to store speakers now. And so with this, I will run rake db migrate again to update the database. And I will add some data regarding speakers here. OK. We have one speaker. Let's add another speaker. Cool. So I will just hashtag the server. Right? I will now create a new client-side plugin for that for showing also the speakers with that command line. OK. And now I can run again my app. No need to build it again, because they are key mail plugins. And if I run it here, we have a new entry, which shows also the speakers. Our beloved Konki and their gently. And OK. So going back to the presentation. So this is basically what we have so far. This is not intended to be a finished product yet. Just a set of thoughts and some preliminary prototype about how we can automate such development of Gitmobile applications. And so this is what I've just showed you. Right? So for the future, we plan to add some new templates for the full CRUD support to support the insertion and update and delete of that data directly from the mobile application. And we want to support some Kirigami-based templates. And also we want to support relationships between model to implement master details things and this kind of stuff which is quite needed in such a kind of application. Also, we want to support push notification by generating code-specific platform through this kind of tool. So if you want to try it, you are quite welcome to try to clone it, build, and just you can contribute with new templates or trying to automate more things. So just talk to me now or in the conference. So that is it. I don't know if we have time for questions. You have a question? Five minutes for questions. Any questions? Could someone? Boudain? Right. Thank you for the presentation. I have one question. Do you allow hierarchical-based templates? For example, speakers within conferences are like you presented one layer so the JSON content will have just one level. Is it possible to have multi-layered? Or you are thinking? Yeah, yeah, of course, this is possible. It's only a matter of creating a new template or a new application template which allows for a certain kind of stuff. Actually, that requires us implementing kind of relationships because conferences has speakers. The speakers has a lot of activities. I guess once these don't, we can easily make this possible, right? Thank you.
