Hello everyone and welcome back to another video. In this video we're going to be looking at percentage calculations So this is still a question that I regularly asked and both through the YouTube our social media channels and also in person When dealing with Excel spreadsheets and just percentage calculations so I thought it'd be really good just to bring together four different examples of calculations that we need to use for Reasons we need to find out the percentage to numbers numbers to put it up bluntly So I pulled those together and was going to go through them in this video here today Just to remind you that if you want to download this exact workbook that I'm working with now or any of the previous Workbooks reviews if you just go to this link here the essential excel UK dot com Ford slash blogs Ford slash tutorials You'll see the full list of tutorials that we've been through and then from each of the tutorials You'll find a bit more description then you find a new to and also you will have their link available to download the exact Workbook we're using particularly useful if you're following along at home Or you just want to have the template to actually try for yourself or even just to see what I've done in that template Okay, so we're up there delay. Let's just jump straight in so the first one. We've got is percentage of total So this is where we've got a number so you can see what the total of a hundred and we want to know what? 65% is of 100 so do excuse if some of these are very simple because from sake Well, we're doing it in Excel So chances are we are needed to do a calculation to work out the value But the reason I asked some apologies is because 65% of a hundred probably most of you will find that quite easy Calculation, but it just helps with proving that the calculation is working quickly as we go through this So the easiest way to work this formula is we simply need to go equal sign So all these are going to use a formula basically in short Equals we'll take our starting number and we're then going to times that by so using the Hashtag sign there so shift and the number eight or if you've got the extended keyboard You'll have that symbol on the right side there and we're going to times it by our percentage that we have here Hit enter and you can see the value arrived is 65 All we then need to do is to copy this down and you can see we've got result for all of those other options as well Some of them are decimal numbers So if you wanted to you could obviously remove decimal places, but for the purpose this will keep those places there It's worth pointing out this time for any of those not aware in Excel Even though we've got 65% shown here This is due to the formatting what Excel actually recognizes the number behind the percentage which is if you go into general We can see that percentages are all actually referenced as those decimal places So again not to give simplistic maths guidance, but as we know a percentage is a representative of a number between zero and One so obviously one being a hundred percent and then all these decimal places representing that percentage place So all our calculations doing is simply times in a hundred by 0.65 Which gives us the answer of 65 and it's obviously that naught point six five that refers to 65% so we'll just put that percent there the formatting back to show percentage But just for any that weren't aware that is how it works And ultimately if you have found yourself in this position where you've got these decimal places You wanted to convert them to show as a percentage all you need to do is highlight this do the reverse what we've just done You can either push the percentage button here or from your drop down here You can find percentage and there you go and I'm just going to remove those decimal places just so it looks a bit Tidy for those percentages So that's the first one. So how do you find a percentage of total all we need to do is we take the total number and We times it by the percentage amount and that will give us obviously the Number value of that percentage So next one so we've got increased by percentage well actually that shouldn't be increased that should say increase So apologies for that. So how can we increase our before number by this percent? So this is where our calculation now gets a bit more Technical but we're just getting a bit more detail to our calculation So the first one you need to do is obviously take our starting number So for us that is going to be equals our before number so F10 here And then what we're going to do is we're now going to be using the plus symbol and Actually before we jump into this Let's just quickly look at this from a basic standpoint and we'll just convert these percentages back to our number Values which can be general there So as we know from our previous example, we know that these decimal numbers represent a percentage Or basically represent a percentage So in order for us to increase by this percentage What we need to do is we need to initially Turn these into for this first one. We don't want this to be five percent. We want it to be 1.05 percent So that actually no, sorry. I said that wrong. We want it to be 1.05 as a decimal number What would represent a hundred and five percent? So therefore our calculation becomes 100 times 100 and five percent would obviously give you that five percent uplift So if we to just do this at the moment, so we went equals the hundred times 0.5 as you know, it would just give us five percent because it's just time it was just saying, okay Well, what's five percent of a hundred and we know that over here That's obviously the same calculation used there obviously just different numbers So what we actually want to do is rather than times by naught point zero five. We want to times by one point zero five What gives us that five percent uplift? So we know that our number before was a hundred five percent of a hundred is five Therefore we want to add that five to the one hundred to give us the after one hundred and five And I hope that makes sense. I made a mistake in the middle there But hopefully that did make sense to you and you're following along still So how do we turn this five percent into? 105% without messing with the numbers we've got there Well, simply all we need to do is just make a little addition to the end of this formula. So we're going to simply do Times by open brackets And we're going to do the number one what signifies a hundred percent Plus the percentage that we have here in column G. What obviously is our naught point five And then we're going to close our brackets and hit enter and you can see that that now has done The same result as what we did manually and if I was just to put in this column to the side here That's second part of the formula. All we doing is equal one plus naught point naught five So you can see that this is the number we're actually times another four number by so we're now going to go 100 times by one point zero five gives us a hundred and five what reflects an increase of five percent And now all we need to do is copy that formula down We can change our percentage here back to our percentage formatting. That's nice and tidy and there we go We can now see that 100 increased by five percent is a hundred and five and so on and so forth So 50 increased by 25 percent would give us 62.5 percent So it all comes together Just as desired So next the inverse of that is to look at how can we decrease a number by a given percent So it works very much in the same as this first example here in by increase But rather than a hundred plus that number, we're going to be doing one Minus that number that we want to require So for us what we're going to be here so we can just put this in manually now So what we actually want to do is we want to say, okay, what is One i.e 100 percent minus our desired decreased percentage What is 0.05? I kept the numbers here the same and we can see it's 95 percent So what we actually want to do what we're now going to be doing is Having done this calculation is we're going to be timesing our starting number by on by 95 percent to work out what that decrease value is And again, hopefully you're still further along and that does make sense So what i'll just do is put that calculation aside here. So we're going to be doing equals one minus The percentage we want to decrease by So we can see it's 95 percent, but we'll just put that to a number And let's pull that down And let's put them to the left there So we can see that these are actually the percentages that we want to be timesing our starting number by So 50 reduced by 25 percent is the same as 50 times seven or 75 percent of 50 200 decreased by 50 percent is obviously the same as 200 times by 0.5 i.e 50 percent So I hope that makes sense. So what we need to now do is just add this to our calculation So it's going to be equals our before number times by open brackets one minus our desired percentage reduction close brackets hit enter And you can see it's got a percentage in at the moment, but we'll just format that back to general And we can see that 100 reduced by 5 percent or 100 minus 5 percent equals 95 And then what we can simply do is just drag that all the way down And you can see all those Results based on the different percentages we want to reduce by So that is how we then do Click contents So that's now how we've covered how we do percentage of total So how do you find what number or what is 65 percent of 100? We've looked at how to increase a number by a percentage. So 100 Add 5 percent is 105 and we've looked at decreasing percentage. So 100 Reduced by 5 percent gives us 95 So the last one we're going to be looking at is Calculating percentage change. So it's kind of looking at this first one always first Well, we're looking at many of them to be honest, but it's kind of pulling it all together So for this one, we want to say We've got a before number of 100 We've got an after number of 110 So what is the percentage change that's happened to go from 100 to 110? So for this we're going to now do another little calculation and it's in two parts So again, what we'll do on the side here is we'll do the first part Say that we can see what that looks like and actually we're doing the change column So what we're going to first be doing is simply equals our Results or our light latest number are after number the number that's happened after the change minus The before number And we know that that's going to be 10 So we can copy that actually what I'm doing. I want to change my mind once again So let's just put it over to the side here And all will hopefully make sense in a second So all this calculation is doing is taking our after number and Minicing off the before number so we can see what the number difference is So once we've done that we can copy that down and we can see that we've got some additions and some reductions So we can see we've got Plus 10 plus 10 plus five We've had a reduction of 100 reduction 25 in addition of 20 and a reduction of five So these are all the numbers that have changed what have happened to our starting number The next thing we need to do is the last thing we need to do is now say, okay We know what has changed by so what is this number as a percentage of our before number? So kind of going back to this first example we had here So what we need to do is oh, and I'm so sorry, but I just now realized a mistake I made here This is not shouldn't be percentage change. This should be number So hopefully that's not that confused people throughout this whole video So this is obviously just a number and this is a percentage our originally was going to do this in a different order But yeah, so you can see ignore whatever that header was it should be number um So we are sorry sorry going back to our percentage change at the end here. We know what the number has changed by So all we now need to do is we have to understand what this is a percentage of our before number So we can go equals Amount changed divided by our hundred Gives us a percentage and let's copy that down change it to percent And we can now see that our what our percentage change is so our 100 starting number changed to 110 Is a is a percentage increase of 10 percent? And just skimming down and we can see that our before number of 200 reduced to 100 is a reduction of 50 percent So it's pretty much there all we now need to do is combine these two pieces of information together So the first thing we want to do is rather than reference our q10 here So our number we've generated we're just remove that and replace it with the calculation within brackets So we're going to do open brackets after number minus before number Close brackets So this is calculated for us this number 10 And then it's going to be divided by our before number And you can see what the same result of 10 percent there. Let's copy that down Clear contents of that final column because we don't need it and there you go We can now see the final result there for us So I hope that's been nice and clear for you in understanding how to do these various Percentage calculations as I mentioned at the start of the video You've got the link here and you'll also find that same link below the video in the video description So all you need to do is go to that link you'll find this one this video again And you're also better find another link will allow you to directly download this exact tutorial workbook So you can go through it You can actually see all the calculations in there for yourself And you can also play around with these different before and before and after numbers or percentages What will also help you understand how the formula is working If this is your first time watching one of our videos or stumbling across the channel Please do hit that subscribe button and also hit that bell notification as well So you're notified of all of our future videos.

After Dalits and after women, I think the farmers and I mean when I say farmers, I mean the agricultural workers very much so because that's also a part of what we call the peasantry and They have been I think the worst hit as a class In these last several years, I would say right since independence But much more so as a result of the onslaught of the neoliberal policies that began in 1991 Just take two figures The video showed us twelve thousand five hundred farmers committing suicide every year very right How much does that come from? 1995 to 2015 20 years the official statistics show 310,000 farmers in India were forced to commit suicide Mostly due to indebtedness These are the official figures of the Union Home Ministry Under which the National Crime Records Bureau comes and that is what gave these figures in The very first year of this current government 2014-15 There was a 42 percent spike In the number of suicides of farmers only in the first one year of this current government And what was the response of the government? To just stop publishing figures of farmer suicides altogether Exactly what they did regarding unemployment. We saw the NSSO data Which said that unemployment is now at the highest in 45 years just as they totally Suppressed that data. They just stopped publishing data about farmer suicides But the second very important thing which is often neglected and that is all of you are all of us have heard about that very very pitiable case of Santoshi 11-year-goer girl from Jharkhand Who died because she had no food?  Give me rice. She's not the only case. She's a Dalit girl by the way Santoshi was a Dalit girl from Jharkhand But there are Lacks of Adivasi and Dalit children in our country today Who are dying every year due to starvation and malnutrition? In the state from which I come Maharashtra last year the figure was 17,000 deaths of children due to malnutrition and starvation The same thing is there in Odisha. It's in Chattisgarh. It's in Jharkhand It's in Madhya Pradesh. It's in Bihar. It's in many other states of the country So these are the two absolutely very very important aspects of the agrarian crisis today Farmer suicides and the deaths of small children due to starvation and malnutrition Why has this happened? The farmers movement Has been demanding four of five very very vital things number one a Loan waiver one-time loan waiver for all the farmers especially the small and the middle farmers and the agricultural workers Why is Hawaii demanding? purely because for the last 70 years and especially for the last 27 28 years Lacks and lakhs of farmers have been looted by the market by the neoliberal policies So what we are demanding is actually compensation for that loot and That is why the loan waiver But a government which had promised that In my mobile I have a clip of the present prime minister in his public speeches in 2014 before the election saying that The moment we come to power in the very first cabinet meeting We shall waive the loans of all the farmers of India What did they do for the last five years? Not a single Naya Paisa waived of the loans of farmers by the central government And whom did they wave? Many of us do not realize 15 lakh crore rupees of loans one five lakh crore rupees of loans of a handful of Corporates have been either waived or have not been paid attention to what we call is the NPAs Non-performing assets of the banks This comes to 15 lakh crores Agricultural economists have come to conclusion 15 lakh crore rupees would be enough To be able to wave the loans of almost all these small and middle farmers and agricultural workers of India But they'll not do that The second demand we talk about the the dr. Swaminathan Commission one of our top Agricultural scientists the father of the Green Revolution and In his report he said one of the first recommendations he said was if you want to Tackle this agrarian crisis if you want to stop farmers you sites What is most important is that? 50% above the cost of production must be the minimum support price for all crops for all farmers And not only that He also added The government must set up a procurement machinery By which we will be able to farmers can actually sell at that price Nothing of this has been done in the last five years Even before that nothing has been done and therefore the third important thing about which Sainath has made a wonderful contribution the whole question of the bogus Prime Minister's fossil Bhima Yojana When you have drought half your country today is under drought Kerala was under a Catastrophic flood a few months ago Bihar and Assam are always under floods What does one do with these natural calamities? Unless you have a shield unless you have a genuinely comprehensive crop insurance scheme, which is meant not for the insurance companies, but meant for the farmers in distress One cannot really go anywhere in a country where you have drought and floods Hailstorms etc. Almost every season large parts of the country are covered The fourth important thing The whole question of Manurega for agricultural workers Because this was the thing that was as a result of left pressure that act came into force Today in the last five years The entire Manurega scheme they have been conspiring to undermine it totally The fifth important is the last thing I would like to say In this book we have a Gita very nice. I have a section. I read bullet train to nowhere Gujarat and Maharashtra are at the receiving end of the prime minister's very great dream of the bullet train and therefore this whole question of land acquisition Industrial corridors freight corridors Different different kinds of green corridors bullet trains etc.  So it is now land to the Corporates it's no longer land to the tiller it is now land to the corporates and therefore These are I'm not talking about the more radical thing. That's the last thing. I would just like to mention These are all defensive operations. What we are doing, but the real thing is that Nobody talks about land reforms any longer What the three left-legged governments did in Kerala Bengal and Tripura? No other government except maybe Jammu and Kashmir has done it for various different historical reasons But no other government in India has done radical land reforms and today the world itself Has become anathema to the rulers that are there and the last most important point I would like to say is this For the last four or five years Prabir very correctly pointed out Earlier when farmers or working-class demonstrations take place in Delhi Bombay, etc. The headline was this How many traffic snarls they caused that was the how the press the whole mainstream press is to do but now after the Rajasthan Kisan struggle after the Maharashtra Kisan Long March After the nationwide jail borough on the 9th of August quit India day in which six lakh farmers and workers Came out on the streets and quoted a rest after the two huge Delhi rallies 5th September worker present rally after the 29 30th farmer 200 farmer organizations rally now even the mainstream media Has had to take sit-up and take notice of the farmers issues in the first long March After walking for nearly three or four days you saw those women without chapels Seared by the heat and Absolutely bruised the whole things bleeding their feet, etc One of those women and a diva see woman was walking along with that March without shoes She was walking some glass piece of glass went into her Foot we saw that we immediately took her on one of the temples We gave her first aid, etc. And then we said that now We say tie in Marathi.  I shall not walk I came from my home Because I wanted to go walking up to Mumbai and Then we asked her Why are you doing this your whole foot has got injured you've got a glass We took it out, etc. All that and then she gave a classic answer, which I'll never forget She only said this I am walking all the distance So that my children and grandchildren Don't have to walk like this in the future Today there is a huge danger to everybody's livelihood not only farmers It's also workers as Tejal said it is also TIFI scientists It's every single section of society which is being attacked and Therefore the livelihood issues must come to the fore in the coming few weeks The defense of democracy the defense of secularism the defense of social justice All this must come to the fore in the coming few weeks for this. I would just like to Recite a small poem by Shelly all of us know that he had said rise like lions after slumber Rise like lions after slumber in un vanquishable number Shake your chains to earth like dew Which in sleep had fallen on you? For you are many and they are few. I think that is the motto We have to carry forward a with this I conclude Jai Hind Jai Pheem in Kilaab Zindabad


In my case, in the L-Words case, it was very complicated and it made the site far slower than it needed. My name is Mika Epstein. Most people know me as Ibsgenu. I work for Dreampost as a WordPress and DreamPress developer, playing with a full stack. I'm glad I used for this experience those dream objects that we have on Amazon history too. And yes, all over the place. The site that runs the code was built on DreamPress and Dreamhost is kind enough to support me, not just coming to events like this, but to run that site on DreamPress as a bit of our canary and use it to test and explore and figure out how can we make hosting better for everyone, but also how to make WordPress better for everyone, no matter where it goes. Is it possible to take the SVGs and turn them into a font set? Yes, it is, but when you take the SVG set and turn it into a font set, you have to load the entire font set or portions of it on every single page, whether or not you use the image. And our thought was that, well, let's just load the images as we need them instead of the whole font size. For example, we used font awesome at first and we had it locally installed, not at the run-up for some reason. And the size of the page is a little bit larger, and you were trying to keep the size down to keep the page up. We did experiment with it in the very early stages before, which are a little bit better. Plus, it's a lot easier to just add a new image than it is to go in and read the font set. Why is the SVG the slow on the circle, which must be lighter than air? They are actually women's local. They're incredibly faster than anything else, but it was just those multiple calls every time I went to the circle. So it's just to continue with that line. The problem was that they weren't local, or that it had something to do with the CDN, but the problem was the remote yet. For example, if you just keep them local, but invoke a CDN that just sort of chooses its own files, like a template like Cloudflare or something, you probably wouldn't experience the same slowness as what you described. Is that true to say? What do I experience the same kind of slowness with a Cloudflare type CDN? Cloudflare is more of a proxy CDN than a true CDN. So when I talk about a CDN, what I really mean is like using a Kami CDN or something, but you actually have the files loaded on another server, and you call them locally. Photon does a very good job at this, where you think that the images are on your server, but they're really duplicated to a Photon server that used Jetpack as a Photon that calls something else now. It actually copies the images out to their servers, and dynamic replaces the content on your site, so that it's calling them remotely instead of locally. That's the kind of CDN that I'm talking about. There is another kind of CDN like Cloudflare. Security has one, and Capsula has one, and those are CDNs that act as a proxy for their own role between you and your visitor. And with those, they copy your whole site, so they wouldn't, in fact, copy the SPDs to their local. So the first kind of CDN that you mentioned, which is the one I mean, if you looked at your source, you would see different URLs for those images pointing to the CDN server, instead of your server, right? That's what you're talking about, where every place is a code, and that would have been slow for you as well. Yes, even having it done that way, having it be where the URLs were placed and it was calling it remotely, those were still slow to call, because the only way to get those, I say that, and I hesitate because there's actually some that I'm working on myself to try to resolve this in other ways, which is what might dynamically change them, and that was the whole job-strip journey. The only way to tell WordPress and PHP where the images are is to literally tell it, here are where your images are and you need to get them, or the cloud can get them so that you could generate things in the PHP at some point, because otherwise it's just not going to know. That's where it went slow, and theoretically with the CDN and some sort of dynamic check on the images to replace the like, like Photon does, yes, I could get around this problem. That said, there's a reason that Photon is so darn good. They have a lot of servers and a lot of logic behind it that is not quite open source, so I haven't quite been able to break through the wall and reinvent their wheel. I'm trying to bribe them. But obviously, they charge for some of those things, and they have a proprietary software, and I totally understand that they don't want some open source co-jockey to go through and take their stuff and make it public so that anybody can make their own version of Photon, which is what would be involved in making it faster. But also, again, those are true images, and remote loading true images is always easier because you're just going to swap out the image source location. And if that's all I was doing, CDN's no problem. It doesn't matter if they're SPGs. The problem is that SPGs don't act like images, and if you use image tags, you restrict what you can do with them. So that was an option, but it would make my cycle. If anybody else does, I have one other question. As you were talking through the tools that you were using to figure out what might be slowing down your site, and I mentioned the database tools, but one thing that a lot of times I've experienced slow sites, and I don't really understand how to use query monitor that well, but I used it and I see that there really aren't too many slow queries. So my next thought is that it could be the server itself, maybe something with PHP writing slowly, maybe not enough memory, things like that. And if you're using a server that you don't have full control of, you can't find out those things easily. And I'm wondering, for example, I helped one of my clients load a site onto a specific host, whose name I won't mention, and we found that the site took, it was a WooCommerce site, and it was taking 20 to 30 seconds to load the page sometimes, and it was a brand new VPS, so we couldn't believe that it would have been that server's fault, but then we tried another hosting company, and then the site loaded it in three seconds, so we clearly determined that it was a factor of that particular first host that we chose. But I don't know how I could have, what tools could I have maybe used to figure out on that side other than just, you know, slow bandwidth or slow database? So the question for those watching the video is, for your monitor, you're trying to find an HTTP calls and database calls and things like that, but how do you debug things that might be caused by the PHP implementation on the server? Especially if you don't have access to the server with command line, that's really hard. When you said WooCommerce though, well, probably the issue is going to be in the fact that the way that WooCommerce interacts with PHP is different than any other plugin, most of the plugins. And that's because it's a big beast of a plugin, it does a lot of amazing, wonderful things. Debugging it is an idea, because it doesn't like all versions of PHP. The thing that I will start with when I'm trying to debug the PHP is figure out what version I'm on. I'm fairly certain that WooCommerce itself has like a, you can check out PHP info page within the WooCommerce dashboard to just get an idea of what sort of PHP options have been selected and installed.  That said, query monitor actually is going to tell you some of those things, but reading it can be very difficult, less difficult today than it was a week ago, but understanding what each line means and what each call means, you say, well, here are my database queries, here are these queries. It'll tell you things like this PHP function took a long time to run. But that is really helping you understand why is that specific PHP function slow. It just tells you what that is. And with WooCommerce being so big, it is really hard to say, well, okay, that's a function. Great, cool, what do I do now? Which is what I spent a lot of time doing for people who post on DreamPress. Sometimes they have those long lead over when you try to help them figure it out. In the case of WooCommerce, it is very barely WooCommerce itself that isn't playing well with your version of PHP, but it's going to be one of your plugins or add-ons for WooCommerce. They are not all rated people, not even the one-to-five WooCommerce store. The reason for that is, unless they're written by, they have to go through quite as rigorous tests in multiple environments, which is why you see such a big difference between post-A and post-B. And a lot of that comes down to post-having different beliefs than what PHP security means. Some people believe that the best PHP security is to allow people out of everything. And some people believe that the best PHP security is to make PHP itself relatively secure. Good luck on Wednesday. Both of these are valid concepts. If you've made PHP itself secure, yeah, you technically don't have to worry about what your customers and clients are doing. On the other hand, if you prevent them from doing certain things that could possibly hurt them, you've made them safer, but you just made debugging a real nightmare. The best thing that I like to do when I see problems like that is I spend on a local box, not even on a separate host. I just try to figure out how can I reproduce the problem. And so what I'll do is I'll go to that PHP info page in WooCommerce, have that build a local box that has the exact same settings or the closest I can get and see if I can make it slow again. That is not easy. That is hard stuff. And debugging PHP problems is just going to remain hard stuff. I would strongly advise you to keep debug bar on. There are a few debug bar add-ons that do perform to help with finding those PHP problems. A friend of mine, Jenny, wrote a few of them, and I'm blanking on your names, but if you just look up debug bar add-ons, there are some that are good for helping you with your permalink problems, or if you're trying to do redirects and make custom endpoints and stuff, and things that will help you with the JSON API, which I'm just so much in love with our state-of-the-art emails. Crazy. But those things can help you. And the biggest problem you're going to have with debugging WooCommerce is that the trick to being able to debug all that successfully is that I knew what my site was doing. Knowing what WooCommerce is doing requires being almost a WooCommerce expert at this point, for the code, not just for the product. And that is not something I'm going to do. So it was an option to use HTTP1, or HTTP2, excuse me, instead of HTTP1 for the request. It was not because the cloud services, well, it was on Amazon and it didn't seem to make too much of a difference. It just, it set up that it could do multiple calls at once, but because the PHP is a top-down sort of thing and I was sending, you know, loop through all of my tags and for each tag, if it has an icon, show the icon. It was difficult to speed that up because HTTP doesn't really understand how to take this calls quite the same way that we would like it to. So sadly, HTTP2 didn't really speed it up and it was only available on one of the servers I tested on when I was trying to reduce the problem. Which sucked. You thought it would have helped. There was something there that I said, oh, this is going to solve it, but it really didn't. It was very disheartening to me.


Hi guys, this is Bhavya Kaushal and here are four things to note this start-up Saturday. Zomato takes a dig at Swiggy. The food tech platform recently published a post on Facebook titled Food Hygiene Ratings after a Swiggy user discovered a Band-Aid in his food. Paytm's biggest bet till date could have far-fetched implications. The payments giant has pledged all of its current assets and mutual fund investments to ICICI Bank Ltd to borrow 1,400 crore for working capital needs. A UK farming start-up has introduced a Tinder-style app called Tudder that helps farmers find breeding matches by viewing pictures of the cattle with details of age, location and owner.

Welcome folks, this is Tom O'Brien of TFNN. We have five days a week, we go seven hours a day, we go 24 hours a day on the internet at tfnn.com. Always remember folks, whatever you think about, you bring about whatever. You focus on growth, hope I haven't said it. Great day, safe day. Let's make it a great week folks. Don't make assumptions, disconcerning the truth. The problem with making assumptions that we believe they are truth. We make the assumption, we misunderstand, and then we take it personally and we react by sending emotional poison with our word. And it creates a whole big what? A whole big drama for nothing. Mug it wise, let's take a look at it out here. We have the Dow Industrial trading up 153, Nasdaq's up 168, S&P's up 34. Gold, Gold contract up 90 cents, traded at 1945 an ounce. We have Silver Dow 49 cents, 23 dollars, 44 cents an ounce. Light Sweet Crew, flat. 81 dollars, 53 cents a barrel. Notes and Balls, a 10-year note. Down 126, trading 114, 21, the 30 year off 20 at 129, 27, and King dollar. King dollars trading up 106, 102, 118. Euro's at 108. Yen is out here at price point of 130.68. The British pound is at 123 to one US dollar. iPhone numbers 877, 9276, 648. Give us a call folks. One note's going on in your world. And the world, the S&P's, let's take a look at them because this is going to be a fun 60 minutes here. So, what do we have out here? Well, first off, what we did is this. Let's go back to Friday. So Friday, you had volume on the way up. Option expiration, you got 91 million shares. Now the 91, we're going into 108, but 91's good volume. Today, what do we have? The bottom line, we got over the highs today. By the high that you're going to keep your eye on out here today is going to be the 400.23. We made it to 402, 64. Well, look, we're under that level right now. And if I go over to the E-minis, it looks to me, I guess it gets contracted. It looks to me that we can sell this whole thing off today, which is going to be crazy. But this is how this is kind of like set up at this point because see, let me see on this 10 minute. Yeah, so we're nine minutes into the 10 minute bar here, and I'll watch this. Okay, so we come down in 50 minutes from, you know, the 405, 6 to 4016. Okay, so now 40 S and P points. It still has volumes, you know, a high volume low at this 4016. Now we're under nine minutes, we're in this bar and it's nine minutes. And you can see the nine minute bar only has 28,000 contracts going against 49,000. So I suspect we're not done on the way down yet. Now, I'm gonna go over to the dollar for a second. Now let's go to the NQs first, because they're both going the same way. And this is all about the dollar, man. This is like, the dollar only went up 100 ticks, man, and the S and P's come down 45 points. So pretty wild, man. And then the NQs came down 100 points. And the NQs, you know, bottom line is what we just did. So we went down on 182,000 contracts, and we just went up with 106. That's telling me we're also not done. And when I look at the NQs, the NQs could actually come all the way back right to where we started from like the 11,732. Well, that would be a total mind blow, there's no doubt about it. If we take a look and we put the Qs up and we take a look at the swing that you're coming into, same type of setup as the, no, it's not the same type of setup because it's higher than the S and P's. You're coming into the last high. We're coming into the low of the high. The low of the high is 285, it got to 290, the high is 296. Now those volumes up there have explosive volumes. You know, we'll see whether they can get it. We got volume on Friday, option expiration didn't matter, you got 80 million to 60 million. And we're coming into 80 million right now. So we'll see how this baby holds. That's the reality, you know, if it can hold price because we have a huge amount of earnings coming out. There's no two ways about that. Gold, we look at the gold contract out here. What you're going to see with gold is the bottom line is that gold did a U turn, meaning it comes down, rejects lower price, goes top side once again. There she is right here. So we hit a low today in gold is about 1929. You're going to hear a high of 1953 and we're going to end up, if we end up right here, we're going to end up with a big doji. So we'll see where that shakes out. Bottom line, it's all about right here. The good old dollar index. And, you know, the dollar hasn't been able to get distraction, man. I mean, you know, we broke down and when we broke down, we broke down on the 9th of January, broke its range. You know, that being said, you know, bottom line, we'll see if it can get a distraction. You know, today you had a high of 102, 275. And if we run to that again in the next, you know, 50 minutes, you're going to see this market get smoked. It blows my mind that, you know, you could only do a small uptick. So here's the uptick that the dollar did when the S&Ps come down 40 points. We went from 102,003 to 102,218, okay? So it did, you know, approximately 200 ticks. And 200 ticks, baby took this baby's self in like a heartbeat. So that's telling me that this dollar does want to basically bounce. You know, we'll see whether we get that bounce. Inside of the highest volume equities out here this morning, you get Tesla up at 873, you got Advanced Micro up 556 and VDS up 1237. It's a lot of green out here, man. Rivian's up a buck 70. We have Google up a buck 40. Microsoft's up 250. Facebook's up 375. You know, there's a lot of green out there. Inside the Dow industrial, the strength versus the weakness inside the Dow industrial. Point-wise here, this is what you have. Salesforce has put 32 positive points. Goldman 22, Apple 19, Boeing 18. Taken away from it, AMGEN minus 17. Procter and Gamble minus 12. Verizon minus three. No big deals there. Inside the NDX100, strength versus the weakness. You got Lucid up 11%, Rivian up 10%. Now those are both the dogs and have been dogs. AMD is up 8%, Marvell Technologies up 7. Taken away from it. AstraZeneca down 1.9. You have Baker Hughes off 1.5 and Dexcom off 1.3. Our phone number's<PHONE_NUMBER>. We have the Dow. Dow industrial's right now trading up 199. Now it's except 194. S&Ps up 41. Stay right there folks. Come back when I'm at Mr. Steve Rhodes.


I can't believe that Steam has missed tagged as a walking simulator.  This is a clear violation of some sort of categorical imperative. Why is a raven like a writing desk? It isn't. Ravens and writing desks have very little in common, really. There are many different ways to group things in the universe, some of which might include both. You might find a raven and a writing desk next to each other on some exhaustive list of things made of matter, things made of organic cells, black things, maybe. But some of those groupings seem like they're built on more of a shallow surface-level resemblance rather than any deep connection between the members of the group. When I gesture at a set of particular things and say, all these things are black, I've certainly created some sort of meaningful classification, but it seems arbitrary and not particularly useful. While saying something like, all these things belong to the taxonomic family of Corvide, well, that seems like it's getting at something deeper and more substantial. The philosophy of natural kinds has some overlap with the idea of universals, which we've talked a little about before. Plato's framing of the concept is still a compelling way of thinking about it. If we imagine nature or the universe like a Thanksgiving turkey, stay with me here, we could pick up a very sharp knife and cut at it any which way we please, but the goal of a good butcher, or philosopher, or scientist, or programmer, is to carve nature at the joints, to pick out particular conceptual slices that follow or echo some deeper underlying structure and break the universe into genuinely meaningful bits rather than arbitrary ones. We don't want a hack job that gets us a little meat, half a wishbone, and a bit of the table. We want a drumstick, no more, no less. Take the chemical elements, helium, carbon, potassium. These are generally taken to be a paradigmatic example of natural kinds. We could group atoms along any arbitrary boundaries we might imagine. I could say atoms to the left of me, or atoms that existed before 1918, but we find that grouping them in terms of atomic weight and electron count seems to be particularly fertile ground for successful inductive inferences, for guessing certain properties that we expect to appear in each member of the group. When I discover something about one particular carbon atom, something happening to do with its being an instance of the group, carbon atoms, I can predict that all the other carbon atoms will share the same property and probably be right, because the kind carbon atoms is taken to reflect how the universe itself delineates which particles will behave in what way. However, there are also cases where it's not so clear cut. Biological taxonomies are one of the first things you might think of for natural kinds, the arrangement of living things into kingdoms and families and whatnot, but they're notoriously squirrely. Ask a room of four biologists how to define a species and you'll get five answers. It seems readily apparent that fish are categorically different than birds, but it's hard to draw a crisp boundary in the space between them like we did with the elements. Whether you're looking at genetics or phenotypes, the space between fish and birds is filled with a gentle gradient of incremental in-between species, such that any line that's drawn is going to be something that we draw arbitrarily just to cut a meaningful distinction somewhere. There's separation, but no clear division, so we can't really call them natural kinds without some further thought. This is a bit of a problem. It suggests that at least some of the kinds that we might think of as being natural might really just be loose groupings that we draw out of convenience, mirroring our own interests and perceptions rather than the underlying structure of the universe. We don't really have concrete expectations about apparently artificial kinds. There's no expectation that groups of hatchbacks, third graders, or flags are going to be well-defined or perfectly consistent in their behavior. There are plenty of valid inferences that you might draw about each of those groups based on observation and correlations, but although we might be surprised by exceptions, there's some acknowledgement that they're to be expected. No reason to get your jimmies rustled. But the categories of physics? Find an electron that's really only three-fifths of an electron or doesn't behave like an electron all the time? That's a much bigger deal. Realism about natural kinds is essential for scientific realism, the position that scientific laws and principles are actually describing the universe as it is, not some wacky features of human cognition. When we say hydrogen boils at 20 Kelvin, we take that to be a statement about something real out there. Categorically different from a statement like music in minor key sounds sad, or this soup needs more salt. In order for any scientific law or principle to work that way, the subjects of those laws must be taken to be natural kinds. Saying hydrogen boils at 20 Kelvin requires that the label hydrogen picks out a meaningful subdivision of the universe and identifies a property that any entity within it must have as the universe itself works that way. Taking another tack, we might reject that natural kinds actually exist in any objective fashion, instead embracing a position called constructivism, which treats them more or less as human inventions or constructs, same as groups of hatchbacks or flags. They're not real categories in any sense. They don't call out any aspect of the universe that has any significance outside our heads. They just happen to be particularly useful for our purposes, a way of looking at things that tend to be advantageous for accurate inferences and predictions. From this perspective, hydrogen atoms wouldn't be any more or less a meaningful category than third graders. So long as you can manage the same quality of inference and discover things about the group by inspecting individuals in it, might as well make a periodic table of third graders. So we have these conflicting accounts about whether natural kinds exist or whether they're just instrumental explanations that happen to work well for us. That's all well and good, but why should anyone who's not particularly into philosophy really care either way? Well, the philosophy of natural kinds has implications for how we approach and think about categories, which in some ways dictates how we grasp and process information about the world. A lot of work in psychology has been put towards systems of analysis that define certain groups and sort people into those groups based on certain criteria, stuff like big five personality traits, moral foundations theory, that kind of thing. There have been questions raised as to whether these endeavors are picking out any real features of human psychology, or whether they're simply creating weird arbitrarily shaped boxes and cramming a diversity of phenomena into them just for the sake of sorting. That attitude makes a lot of sense for a natural kinds realist, someone who thinks that there's a fact of the matter about what sorts of categories will mirror the actual psychological structure of human beings. But for a constructivist, it's not so important whether the categories are made up and the points don't matter. So long as they're useful, so long as we keep looking for more useful categories, there's no value in speculating which ones are closer to the truth, whatever that means. Framing debates about policy in terms of natural kinds is also an interesting way to break them down or dissolve them into more fundamental questions. I'm sure that if you think of your favorite political controversy, you might be able to see a glimmer of the realist-antirealist debate somewhere at its core. A dispute about which ways of breaking up the world are how reality is and which are just useful ways of thinking. Can you think of anywhere else the concept might be applied?

Did she not want me to go down like the one of her?  I didn't see this. Here we go. Okay, you peer down the hole left by the tentacle that drew kether again in the darkness Will you leap after him? Ones back at you impossibly wide a single tentacle borrowed through stone This must be where they harvest the tadpoles We're close to the source of the infection this sitting beneath moonrise How long and how deep this a go and membrane do I just tear through the membrane? Oh It's these guys again Tadpole forms a telepathic connection with the device and a chorus of static energy fills your mind Every mind flayer in the room calls out from gray from its pod seeking release and Sustenance, but there are others in the pods those not yet infected not yet a lipid terrified Desperate to escape the device is open to your tadpoles command to your authority, okay, I'm gonna release them Call log and shadow are both approved. So here's what I'm worried about with the release Some of them are safe, but then this is gonna happen. So I feel like it's showtime There is zeblor right there. Wait are those guys bad guys to now? Is it bad that I like to action surge like right off the bat to try and like eliminate somebody as fast as possible? I Feel like that's like a decent strat Nice Right on the last hit here. Are they just stunlocking us? Dude zeblor is like owning everybody while we're stunlocked Zeblor is a frickin giga chat. I didn't think I was going to make it. Nice. Thank you. I owe you an explanation much more than that but first please The others the ambush Tell me they survived. They found refuge.  You've heard some of it. I'm sure that I froze or broke Or some other lie that is kinder than the truth. We were ambushed by cultists. Yes, and then I heard Their false God Whispering promises in my mind. I would be a paladin again with a God's purpose a God's power Everything I needed to protect my people And all the while the cult tortured them they fought and ran and died around me while I imagined myself their savior By the time I regained my senses. It was too late. I did not just surrender to the absolute for a moment.  That's not your fault. It would be nice to think so, but whatever these monsters twist us into I believe it begins in us. I Won't make excuses. I can't make amends, but I know something of what you came to do. I Want to help if you'll let me Katherick is below He thinks you're no longer a menace Descend and show him how wrong he is if there are any more survivors to be found I'll find them and lead them out of this place. I think I could use another blade I mean he's pretty strong. What's that only if you can trust it won't be buried in your back The absolute swayed me once before I won't risk it happening again Go my friend.  This thing looks terrifying nice big dash right into it There's a lot of guys here depth shepherd.  I'm gonna misty step in And I'm gonna spear guardians I do have one holy water in somebody's bags But I'm gonna need it here, and then I'm gonna do level one magic missile this guy's got one health This guy's got one health this guy's got one health It's like eliminating a bunch of low health targets. It's kind of nice, you know Yes True car lock. Yeah magic missile seems like it's like not flashy Just righteous like great just radiance the light shines down upon my enemies Dude the last guy just rented shot a heart and die.  That's a good Love desperate need but fragmented to you. It is incomplete It yearns to connect but needs you to guide the process Linking each part of your mind to its like So you have blue purple green yellow Here's what you want to do you want to connect all these to the corresponding I guess icon or whatever So if I send a motion here, they can't go elsewhere So I think since I only have one option here. I do whatever has the least amount of options for us I have one option here. I have two options here. I have Three options here, and I have four options on this one where you can go from here to here to here to here Here so we'll go and do a motion first and then we'll do memory second So speech has to get across to this sign So speech has to get across to this sign. I think I figured it out. It's gonna have to go here This one goes here There easy easy so lucky hello, I just broke it down for you and showed my work, okay Unbelievable Not as bad as it could have guys. I've taken dozens of online IQ tests.  There'd be slave mind here ahead of that. That's it's like the beginning of the game butchered It's a butchered mind empty vessel. There's nothing nothing else is going on It knows if we're going to escape we have to be smart smart, right use our brains Right you get it. I've been watching Learning this place is alive a big thinking thing and it needs our flesh to grow I've seen them put corpses in the walls and they just melt away. So we've got to trick it see Make it think we're part of it. That's why the doors only open for way How did you get in here? Away slave they might have taken your mind, but they won't have mine.  Brian Paul's But empty of tadpole cock. It's about time you came Wait what Missouri you're the devil you sent will rescue what you'd have figured it out by now Now enough sniffing around and get me out of this thing Do it and I'll let will off his leash a devil always keeps her promises Your eyes turn to the control panel next to the pod It has two devices marked with a lipid symbols The controls are open to your tadpoles command to your authority Examine the device on the left Examining advice on the right but and symbol means nothing to you. Oh, no Oh They pop a tadpole in me and the hells will take will the good play times over Get me out the controls are open to your tadpoles command to your authority Your left device hells What's happening? What if you your heart burns red hot? Then goes hollow wait. Oh wait. I thought it was good disappears from your mind The hells have taken will He's lost when I thought he was gonna examine it. I didn't even read it Frick I was trying to re-examine it Okay, so we save her good work. I'd give you a gold star, but I'm fresh out as for the pact Claws said section 13 if the soul binder consents to separation She will release the soul bearer from all obligation within six months.  I'm out of here. I need a long bath I'll leave you to your very serious business But don't you fret if you survive this place? I'll find you The pop will be needing me Count on it. Ask will how we met. I've loosened his tongue. It's real cracker of a tale Good thing my ballers get three has been a ton of people realizing they don't actually hate turn base They prejudge so many great classics are open to them now. Yeah, dude nights of the old Republic one is one of the best games ever
