Hey, everyone, Joe and Isaiah is here from the Automator, and today we've got a really fascinating hot topic. We're going to talk about the current state of AI and Chat, GPT-3, how we can use it, what it can and can't do. So stick around because there's some really interesting stuff. The one thing I will caveat is, hey, this isn't right the early stages of this tool, right? Like in other tools that are out there. So things are going to be changing like crazy. We're mostly going to be talking about what it can't do at the moment, but that's definitely going to change. That's correct. And basically one of the things is that the rate at which AI learns and gets better is so fast that maybe one week from now, all of what we're saying right now is obsolete because it learns so fast. So take everything we say like, yeah, it's right now. It might not be like that later on. Yeah. One of the first things we'll just jump into saying that it can't do is, of course, it can't just do things it was programmed not to do.  They had a core things that androids couldn't do harm a human. This is that and I can't lie. And it's kind of the same thing, although I've seen videos where, you know, if you just say, hey, we'll just say I'm role playing and I'm making up a game, you know, or a video. I'm recording a script for a movie. Then it makes it pretend and then some of the things you can get around.  There are different models and that is something that I don't know if you have mentioned before, but basically, right, there's different models. There's one that is for creating images. There's another one that is for creating text. This one for creating text is a subset of a larger one. This one that is open right now is a subset of a larger model. And this subset that is limited in a lot of things like, for example, you're going to tell it right, a violin program or something like that. It would actually just say, hey, I'm trying not to do that. But as you mentioned, there are ways to circumvent some of the things, which, yeah, OK, but the main limitation is very unlikely that you will be able to break out of certain restrictions that the programmer, the programmers at OpenAI put onto the chat itself. So yeah, that's one of the things that it cannot do. So another one was so this came out because Ray mentioned it, I think in either one of our live YouTube videos, which we have every Friday. I'll put the YouTube, the link up above if you want to join. Or we also followed up on it in one of the hero calls. So we have our private groups that aren't streamed to YouTube, but we were chitchatting about what can it do. And Ray asked Isaias to log in and to do some stuff. And Isaias was doing it. And again, I mean, you know, Isaias has really good English, but he's not a native English speaker. And the way he was asking the question at the time, it was just slightly, slightly different than what I did. And I forget exactly what the case was, but I'm a native English speaker. Right. And I asked it a slightly different question and it was able to do. I said something like when was Autohockey first created? And I think you said when was Autohockey created? If I maybe was something right when it was released. So it can only do what you ask it to do, right? So this is where in my background of market research also in training to say, I want a very specific question I want answered, right? The more specific you are, the more likely that you will get a good answer. Right. The way how you phrase the question is very important because it would do exactly what you mentioned there. So if I because I said, when was Autohockey released? Only like that. And it said like, I cannot answer that. But probably what you said is when was Autohockey first released? And then it had the answer to that. So for me, it told me that I could, but it was just the way how I phrased the question. So and that is another thing. The chat AI program is not really meant for answering questions. It generates text based on a prompt. Now, if your prompt is a question, it would generate text that looks like an answer. And that is something kind of like a like a minor point. It's not like that important, but it's good to mention it. It's not an answer. So sometimes what it gives you might not be correct. It's just that it looks like the answer because that's what it was trying to. Now, we can get that text and either modify it or extract the truth from that comment. But it is a very fine line between, OK, generate a description for a product and it would generate text that looks like the description of the product. But when you look into it, really, you might find words that have nothing to do with the product. Yeah, because it's not really giving you a true statement. It's just giving you something that looks like the truth. So you have to be very careful with that. But of course, you say like, yeah, you can ask it any question. It would answer it. It can. It will answer something. I actually asked it, you know, what's the difference between men and women and or how do you satisfy a woman or what do women want? You know, I actually answered. I was disappointed because I thought I was going to break it because no one knows, but it did answer. But to your point is that so what I would say what I kind of think of it is, look, you've got a really, really smart like high schooler, right? And you can ask them a question to do something. Now, sometimes they come back with amazing stuff. Sometimes they went and looked up something on Wikipedia and totally went the wrong direction, right? Like, and that's your point. Like, look, we're not going to take what they what it gives us and go give it to a client and sell it because we need to review what it does. Now, actually, you won. You were doing a GUI and you said, create a GUI doing this and it gave you like 90, 95 percent. And you're like, no, no, no, you forgot to add the new GUI. I forget what they did. We submit right to get the values and it said, like, OK, yeah. And it added it. So, yeah. And then you said you forgot to add this. So add it and then it did and then it worked, right? But it was like, hey, again, it was close. Now, here's the other again. This is right now. It's not trained on auto hotkey code, right? But clearly, and especially we're talking about the chat GPT one, but there's other ones. What was the DaVinci codex? Right. Well, there is a model that is a codex. So the whole thing, the whole system, they name different sections of it with different names. There's one that is called codex DaVinci 002 or something like that. And that is a specific model trained for creating code. Right now, the one that we are using is the one that creates chat. So this one is meant for you to talk to somebody technically, not write code. It will give you code, but that's not what it's meant to do. If we use the other model, I would be almost certain that it would give me amazing code because it's meant for creating code, right? Well, again, though, which is what you and I both totally agree in this. Look, it needs to be trained on that language, you know, programming language or whatever language, right? For that matter, right in what you're doing. And it's not yet sanctioned where it's coming up with these solutions that like thinking out of the box and coming up with new approaches. But at some point, so auto hockey, and maybe it is, maybe it isn't some of these other ones that you're mentioning. We don't know. And there's so many out there. The problem is, you know, who knows? But at some point, it will be, right? And it will be able to create some really cool looking stuff. So let's get into some of the stuff that it can do and can do really well. Right.  And it was getting pretty close, right? And I like that it always creates kind of like a little comment of what it's trying to do. And so the code that comes back, not only is the code that you're going to try to use, but it's also the code that it also is commented code. So if you're learning, I think that's a very good thing because it gives you code and it gives you an idea of what it is trying to do in which steps and so on. So you might learn a little bit faster like that. And to follow up on that, so I have two takeaways from that that I was playing with. It was one, I took a large auto hockey script and I pushed it in there. I said, please annotate this script. And it went through and was explaining what the auto hockey code was doing, right?  And maybe you can help understand this one. The second one is you can actually tell it. And again, it has to be programmed for your language. But to say, hey, you can put in your code and then say, summarize this for me. What is this thing doing? What is this doing? Yeah, it is. I'll put the URL up above here. But you know, our script for inspecting auto hockey. Yeah, the script scanner. Yeah, that's why I thought, like, man, if we can bind this. Oh, right. I understand to just a little bit of a box there, having a summary as well. So it is not only showing you what we determine that is kind of like risky or whatever, but actually a short description or summary of what is actually doing. That is a very interesting approach to that. Yeah, and then complement it with also adding the annotation as well, right? So that can be a full process. And holy cow, suddenly you feel much better when I get some random script that like I can have a decent idea no matter of my skill level, right? What it's like, I'm willing to read through all the stuff. And depending on how big the script is as well. Just imagine trying to pass the QAP code to it. 15,000 lines of code. I actually considered doing that as a test. Yeah, to see what happened. Yeah, but I would say. One more on this is I saw people with using JavaScript code saying, hey, there's a bug in my code and they pushed it in there and said, can you tell me where the bug is?   Yeah, that was pretty cool. I actually think it would be funny to tell it, tell, grab this code, find the bug and using a very cheeky thing, tell me what my errors were, because actually it understands different models, different modes of speech. So you can tell it, explain it like I'm five.  So I was watching one this morning and they were talking about they had people just like us discussing a topic. They asked the AI to say, hey, have these two guys, which they mentioned in my name, discuss this. But in a Quentin Tarantino movie. And so they showed the dialogue that came back and one of the guys said, well, this isn't really real because there's there's no f-bombs. There's no swearing. And then someone else said, but wait a minute, that's because right now it is. It is. It's been told right. Exactly. Otherwise it really adapted it into that kind of format of this, how they speak and how they discussed it. I remember, I remember telling it to write a poem in Victorian English, something like that. And it does it. And I was like, and I asked it, how did you know that by Victorian English? I meant that. And it explained me exactly what it did to go ahead and think about that that way. So I do think that it is very fun to do those kind of tests. The only thing is that now going back to the matter of code is that two things. Right now, it cannot execute auto hotkey code, right? It cannot do that. I am not 100 percent certain that it can execute JavaScript code because I've noticed that I gave it a function and it actually ran the example for me. And it was executing that. And I would understand that because the browser has JavaScript in it. But if it doesn't have an auto hotkey interpreter there, so it cannot execute the code, but it can give you something that would pass tests. And that is interesting because what one of the things that we were testing and maybe we can show a little bit of that is that I give it a little bit of stuff. Yeah, right. So one of the things is that I could probably just give it what I'm expecting and it would generate auto hotkey code that would pass that test. Now, I'm sharing my screen right now and you would see that again, this is part of what I meant. There are some limitations and these limitations, it is very hard to go around them. But here's the one that is more important. It may occasionally generate incorrect information. Yeah, of course, it's not a knowledge base. It's just giving you things back. So you have to be careful what it gives you. But here's something I would give it a test. It's an if statement that runs a function and is comparing it to whether that is returned by the function or not. So if it is returning it, it should say true. If it is not, it should say false. So I'm going to give it this as a test and let's see what it does. So I say, write an auto hotkey function that passes the following test. And then I'm going to give it some code. I'm putting these little carets there just to imitate that this section is code. This is from Markdown and I think the chat would do something. Yeah, it knows that this section here is coding is not just text. So I would give it some code. I specified that it has to be out of hotkey because sometimes it might not give you the code that you want because it would give you kind of like JavaScript code. It defaults to JavaScript, I've noticed. Now, notice that it gave me a function that would do exactly what I told it. It will return just that exact text and it would pass this test. If I copy this into my script here and just copy the function it gave me, it should return true right there. Let me see. You learn except inside a function where oh, yeah, of course. Let's change this to a message box because I'm not inside a function there. There you go. And it shows me the true here. So it means that the function is returning exactly the message that I told it to. So that is OK. But one of the questions that we had is what about if I pass it a more complex test? It was funny because I had some tests written for another program that I had. And one of the things that it does is that it cleans a string. I pass a string and it removes some things from it. So my test is asserting that in the title, I do not have this little character or in my title, I do not have this little part. So this is just the test. This is not the function. I copy this and say, hey, write some R hotkey. Write an auto hotkey function that would pass the following tests. And this is still I want to reiterate the better you are at being very clear in what you want it to do, the more likelihood that you'll get, you know, the answer you're hoping for. Right. So I pass it an array of tests. I'm going through each of them. I pass the clean title function and it would return a title that should be clean of those three elements. And now this thing is going to try to do something similar. Right now, I don't know if it is going to do a good job of it. You know, one of the really cool things, though, which we've talked about before is with auto hotkey regular expressions. Hey, it uses the was it the pearl? No, the search of the P right. The version of the regex that, um, the, yeah, it's the PHP version of it. Right, but that is something that probably is in this because that's, you know, yes, that is correct. Oh, now it's funny because the code it gave me is almost pinpoint what I did in the end. So when I was working with this, I had my own function. But if you take a look at it, it just grabs the string that you gave it. And then it will use string replace to remove this character. Then it will pass it to the next one that it will remove this other. But then it noticed that what I pass it was a regular expression. So instead of string replace is use regex replace, which is correct. And then it removed that to and then return the title. This, if you look at my original function, if I go here, my clean title is basically three steps of that is again, the regex, the string replace for that one. I use regex replace mostly for the others because of the spaces because I wanted to make sure if they were there or not. But it did basically the same code that I had, which is amazing. And I just gave it a test to pass, right? This is interesting because in the future, maybe you just have to write the test and the AI will come up with the function that will make sure that passes the tests. So you don't have to think about the solution. You just think about the requirement, right? Well, that's what I was going to say was, I'm not, now we have a link to the test I'll put up here. We'll test driving code and what is talking about here. So it's a bit advanced or new for most people. But using red expressions, you and I both know, right? Regex can be quite complicated, right? And when we have something that is complicated, often what I even you're much better than I am. But even for both of us, I've seen both of us do it where we say, I could combine all this into one regex. However, instead, I'm going to piecemeal it one at a time. Just because it's easier for humans like to understand and process. But I think we I think this would work really well to say, I want to remove this and this and this and look for this.  You know, how this is interesting because look at this. You see, on my tests, on my tests, I passed it a title that contains disease and it contains the numbers, right? But right here, when I saw what the code did, it added a comment that it says, remove notification numbers from the title. And it gave me an example of what it would remove. That was something that I didn't put there. I think, again, you can see that it was not me because those are not out of hot key comments, but it actually. Told me what it was going to try. And it gave me an example of what this regular expression would remove from it. So this is amazing. I really think that this is kind of like the future of coding. People think that probably you are not going to code anymore because the AI is not going to know that. I don't think programmers are going to go anywhere now because now we have to tell the AI what to do. Our job is going to be creating the prompts for the AI to create the code. And then reviewing it after, right? Right. Of course. Even after a couple of years, depending on what you're doing, you're going to need to make tweaks and you need to be better at explaining exactly what you're looking for. Right. But it definitely is a huge enabler, right? It's going to level up people like there's no tomorrow, right? I actually think that's correct. For example, in one of the tests that we did was this. I gave it this other test and it didn't really return what I was expecting. Let's try it again. So write a function and auto hotkey function. Which this is where you start realizing certain things are so important to mention, right? Right. It has to be out of hotkey because if not, it would go ahead and give me a JavaScript one or something like that. But also we've talked about how training, too, like after you do this over time, it will learn and understand. And probably if you have a profile that you log into, it may be there'll be a way to default it to certain things. As well, right? I would assume so, yes. So now I just gave it this test. The test is that I'm going to pass it a URL and I want to remove unwanted things. For me, the things that I want are just from the K here up to the C R I D. Anything else should be gone. But what it did is, oh, wow, this is this is different to what I was. What it gave me before. Well, we were talking about it. We wondered if it would if it would understand key value pairs. I mean, the fact that it's actually parsing the URL. And we mentioned, you know, the key value pairs, keep the first one or keep, you know, whatever this key and this key, but not other ones. Like, which is the other really important thing to understand is it's iterative. You can comment after it and say, hey, that's great. But go back and make this another. See, so so right now it is telling me it is doing some things that I'm OK. So if the part is not that and not this, which is interesting. Now it would do it. This is not on a hotkey code, by the way. So this is wrong right here. Almost almost work. But I would it gave me something. It grabbed the two sections that I want to remove. And if it is not those things, then it is going to append it to the URL. So this code is closer to what I was expecting. The last time that I tried, it didn't give me that. It just removed this one section right here. But now it's removing the two that I want to remove. It just removed both because this is only adding to the clean URL. If it is not those two things. So this is good. I would tell it that is not out of hotkey out of hotkey code. Convert the script to auto hotkey. Let's see what it does. But basically, this is what you mentioned. We could actually create a follow up prompt. And it would know that the context is whatever it did before. So it's really good because it would try to get that. The other thing I analogy. I thought actually that was what I saw also is it's amazing at doing analogies, which was really interesting. But anyway, was I've been using an Alexa Echo for quite a long time now. I'm pretty good at getting it to do what I want because my brain has now been converted into knowing how to ask questions in a way that it will give you the answer I want. I think over time, people using this tool, right, it'll get better understanding in the native speaking. But at the same time, we will get better at asking questions in a certain way in a very specific way that it'll do better delivering answers. Well, actually, I was when it started writing, I said, like, oh, this is totally wrong. But what it did is that it keeps the original clean title script. And now it's giving me the clean URL as well. And it fixed it a little bit. Now it's doing a little bit closer to what I want. And again, these four, this is still not correct. It's close. But I could change this to a loop. So this section, and this is what we meant. Probably the code is not 100 percent what you need. But now I just have to change it for loop part length. I think you could use a for loop there as well. It's the. No, because this is a number length. This is going to be giving me 20. It's just a number. Yeah, but I could use parts. Yeah, I would use parts by itself. I could say by for anyway, we don't have to get under the grid. Parts, right. But what I mean is I don't have to change that much of the code because now I just say I equals a index and that is closer to what I need. OK, so this is great. I really like the idea of me giving it something, it gives me a basic starting point and the parts that I have to fix are very small. So yeah, the things that I didn't want to change the eye in every single one. But why wouldn't you want to just use a for loop with the for eye in and then use the eye as the index as well? That is correct. That that's actually for eye and then part in parts without the length. That would do it. Right. And then I would have the eye already as an index. Right. Anyway, like I said, there's a lot of different ways, not the focus of the video. But right. But in general, the point is that you can start with a basic template for which you can go ahead and work from there. So go back. I want to do an example here real quickly. So and then so I wrote a like, you know, should I do web scraping with auto hotkey? So we're doing asking questions on general topics, so not programming, but this thing. Like I was blown away at the answer. I wrote something close to that. And it wrote like almost identical to what I think. It's like, hey, web scraping is a pretty complex topic. Even though you can web scrape with auto hotkey, you're probably better if you're doing a lot of work to. Yeah, there it is. There is, you know, like it's possible to do it. Like I could not have written a better answer myself on this. Like it was nailed it. Yeah, it's exactly. If you just need a few pieces of data, then auto hotkey may be a good choice. It's easy to learn and use. It could quickly extract information from the website. However, if you're applying to the large scale web scrape, you and you need more complex data than there are some other dedicated tools, which is correct. There are tools that are just for that. Then that's the best that's the best tool. Now, here's the thing. Remember, this thing is not answering you. What it's doing is that it grabbed this prompt and it looked at all the text that it has in memory and look for the one that matched a little bit better to that. Well, this looks like a true answer. You have to be careful because it might tell you a few things that are not exactly correct or something. But it is answering back to what it has in memory. I asked a question about should I use on a hockey V1 versus V2 or something along the lines of that? And it was it went off on how V2 is absolutely the right this and that. And I'm like, I don't really answer there. But you know, and I wrote one saying, hey, should I use auto hotkey versus Python or why should I use our hockey over Python? And then explain the differences and how they're used. Right. One is more of a desktop automation and one's more server side things. And and this and that. And I'm like, this is it's it's really, really good. But to your point, it can be wrong, but it's just that the majority of the text out there contains those answers and it's grabbing the majority of it on summarizing it into this. So to your point is one one might argue is when you think the wisdom of the crowds is going to give you the right answer. Then it will be a good solution when it might be something very, very niche. And there might be an expert that knows how to do something. Right. Yeah, it may not come up with that. Right. That is correct. I that's the other part that I agree with. So I think this topic is really interesting. I think it's going to be developed, you know, quickly. So soon a lot of the things that it cannot do will be done. And the things that it does right now will be done better. So I think it is a very good direction. And I definitely don't think that programmers are going to be out of job. Now our jobs are going to be different. It's going to be creating the right prompt for the tool to create the right code, which looks easy, but it's not. I'd even say is we will probably start working in many more languages because now I don't have to know Python or Java. I can use this tool to get me close because you and I, we've talked about this a lot. Like in Python, hey, I can go in and I'm not or a C sharp, right? I can go in and I can tweak things, but I can't write from scratch, right? But I can tweak things so I could probably take some code, get it from there, get it running, but I don't have to know the ins and outs of every little thing. Right. And this tool is going to be brilliant for that kind of stuff. That is correct. So I hope you all enjoyed the other thing that we didn't even touch on is all the other stuff. Like I've been going and optimizing my headlines and titles and stuff. It's it's really powerful, you know, at the it's very conversive and can write some really good clickbait stuff. That's for sure. Well, thanks everyone. Hope you enjoy that. How are you guys using it? What what is your experience? I'd love to hear in the comments here if you're using it. Where do you think it's going? Also, what kind of timing do you think, at least for AutoHotKey, like getting it in that you think I think in the next year, we'll have it with AutoHotKey and doing a lot of really cool stuff. Because you're saying is I mean, like it's it's easy to get hung up in time is how humans work. But computers, it's it's just exponential. Yeah, that's exponential. So it goes really fast. There you go. Please like the video if you learned something, enjoy it because it really helps us out. We get a lot more views for people liking it. So I really appreciate it. If you like that now, hit it now and subscribe if you're not a subscriber. We dump out videos at least twice a week, sometimes more depending on the topic. And we're by far the largest AutoHotKey channel, creating some really cool stuff. So thank you.


This study has developed a new method for creating biomimetic superhydrophobic aerogels with lotus leaf-like structures. These aerogels have excellent oil-water separation, EMI shielding, and recyclable properties. This article was authored by Fengqilu, Yonggang Zhang, Zhuanzong Feng, and others.


Greetings all year back this time we're going to talk about how we can kind of put some of what we've already learned into practice and how we can create some new behaviors and Change some existing ones and kind of tweak them a little bit first I'm going to have a little coffee as I look at that nice discriminative stimulus on my desk the questions Which one's warm here we go Well, that's kind of cheesy. You can see it. Do I even need to describe it? Take a look at what's on there. I mean if we were to If we were to describe that how would you describe it?  So if we were to describe that process of change you're slowly changing one stimulus into another So essentially that's all we're going to do we're going to take one stimulus We're going to change it into another one and that stimulus can be all sorts of things So let's take a look a little further. All right, so gradual change of the stimulus over successive trials So Right off the bat. You should see a couple of things number one We're not going to make gigantic changes here and in number two what we're going to do is do this repeat key Okay, the over and over and over again. That's the success of trials part right from the exist existing discriminative stimulus to a different discriminative stimulus You're going to produce the same response. So the idea is here. You're trying to teach somebody to do something right and They're already engaging in them in the behavior that you want, but they're engaging in it at the wrong time Where they're engaging in it In one scenario, but not another and you're trying to get them to engage in that scenario I've got a bunch of examples On the next slide and we'll look at those here in a minute, but the basic idea is You know, are the one of the basic applications is if we you know oftentimes We're trying to get autistic kids to respond appropriately to particular stimuli We want those stimuli to be realistic things in the normal environment your book uses a good example about Say look like look at me. I think is what the book does or oh, I think the books is what's your name, right? So the child might be able to describe what says say what his name is or her name is in one context But not be able to answer the question So what we have to do with one of the procedures we could use is fading to address that particular thing Ultimately what we're talking about is transferring the control So we have one discriminative stimulus that has stimulus control over behavior Now we're going to transfer that stimulus control from from the original SD to a new one Typically speaking we're going to focus on one dimension of the stimulus shape Color, you know that type of thing right size Pattern blah blah blah, right and we're going to slowly change that dimension We can do auditory stuff as well, you know learning to discriminate Fine details and music stuff is is partially a fading process And there's all sorts of things that we're fading plays a role. So let's look at a couple of those Couple of those settings here after we get down this slide, right? But you can also fade across settings. So in other words teaching somebody to engage in it You know somebody's engaging in a particular behavior at home, but they're not doing it at school So you could fade out that home to school That's a pretty big fade that you would have to do but you could make something similar You could have a verbal cue at home or a visual cue at home And then you could bring that visual cue to school and slowly fade that visual cue out Maybe just a little piece of paper or a wristband or something who knows so let's look at some examples of fading


Good day, fellow investors. I hope you're having a great weekend. Today's topic will be what's going on in the stock markets. We have seen the best S&P 500 week in the past five years since 2013. And then, of course, the topic of the week was inflation. So it's due that we see how inflation affects stocks from a longer-term perspective as we do on this channel. And then I'm going to finish with some foods forethought on real estate investing and interest rates, mortgage rates. So let's immediately start with what happened in the stock market last week. The S&P 500 has had the best week in the last five years, which is something amazing after the carnage we have seen in the last few weeks. So everything seems back to normal, which is good and also bad news, depends how you look at it and depends how invested you are in the market. If we look at what happened since the start of the year, we can see that the correction was pretty sharp. It had two bottoms and now things are looking as nothing has happened. Stocks are almost in positive territory for the year. So everything looks fine. The VIX index is a bit higher, has stabilized around 19, so people still expect some volatility that can happen. But those are options, you used 30 days options. So after 30 days, maybe the VIX will even get lower and people will quickly forget about this correction. What happened last week? Last week and in this week, the big banks started saying how these corrections are normal, how something like this is very normal in the market. It is a healthy correction and that usually in 12 weeks, 20 weeks after such a correction, the market reaches the levels previous to the correction and surpasses them later. Only in bear markets, the market stays lower for longer times on average. This chart is from Goldman Sachs and they have been saying how corrections happen within bull markets can be sharp, but they tend to be short lived. Such messages from most big banks really gave investors confidence to invest back into the market. If we look at corrections and bear markets from the past, we can see how most of them recover really, really quickly and all of them recover eventually. Only in January 73, 74, it took more than a year and something to recover, but that's also not long. So the notion from this data is that stocks will always recover. Everybody thinks that stocks will recover, so better to be invested as the stock market can go only up. That's the message that institutions are sending that everybody is sending about stocks. So that's the herd, will you trust the herd or not? That's up to you. We will definitely talk more about that on this channel, so stay tuned. Now today's topic was inflation and the news was that inflation has finally edged higher and that could have a lot of repercussions on the economy, on the Fed, on stocks. It's important to see how inflation affects stocks. Will stocks go higher or lower? There are three scenarios we'll discuss them all. Let's first see what's going on. As you can see, inflation has been anemic but has finally started to go higher and reach the target rate of between 2 and 3% that the Fed has imposed for themselves. Now they might even let inflation run a little bit higher in order to not hit the brakes too hard. However, what's important the stock market, as we have seen before, didn't really act to inflation. Everybody was buying the deep as the salespeople, sorry big banks and institutions came out with statements that it's all fine. So no effect from inflation yet. So let's see how inflation affects stocks. The scholarly model, inflation, yes, increases input prices but also increases output prices. So the margins, if there are healthy margins and if demand for the product is healthy, will increase a little bit and thus inflation, normal stable rate inflation, should be good. What's not good for stocks are huge spikes in inflation because then the business cannot transfer the prices to the customer that fast. If there are huge spikes in inflation and of course the Fed wants stability, they want a stable inflation rate so that it's easier to pay the debt. That's why you have inflation that makes it easier to pay the debt and makes those holding those debt suckers. So think about governments, treasuries and government debt and why it's better perhaps to be in debt than not. So saver, sucker or possibly in this environment also with inflation. Also what's very important, we have discussed in an old video, 99% of stock market returns from 1929 calculated have come from inflation and dividends. So inflation plays a huge part with investments. However that what happened the past and I wouldn't go into an academic analysis about what happened and how inflation affected stocks because there are millions of variables there and so nothing you can really hold on. The best thing to do I think is look at the common sense where we are now and what might happen and that's also what we're going to do. Before doing that just another important factor is the weaker US dollar which makes US imports and commodities more expensive but aids exports. Nevertheless the weak dollar increases inflation. So I already said that stocks should benefit from inflation as they can transfer higher prices to customers and increase their margins. That's one. However there are other things that inflation does. Inflation increases the required rate from bonds because you want at least to be protected from inflation when you invest in such investments. So as the Fed increases the interest rate to let's say stabilize inflation to keep inflation stable as interest rates for bonds go higher then the required yield in the long term, don't look at what happened this week, required yield also from stocks will have to be higher. So you have to see if those earnings improvements those earnings increases that the stocks can transfer on to customers will be enough to counter for higher yields coming from treasuries. We have seen the 10-year treasury already almost at 3% the 2-year treasury above 2% which are very very significant because now people will start looking at risk in relation to the yield. As long as stocks go up as long as everybody's positive the sentiment and the trend is strong. However when the trend when the risk changes we will see more sharp declines like we have seen last few weeks because it's all about risk balancing. Some people will oh look the 10-year treasury is 3% I'm happy with 3% for the next 10 years no risk. If you invest in stocks you are maybe we'll get in the next 10 years 5-4-5% but the risk is 50-70% and so when you look at it from a risk reward perspective there is a lot of things that could change. Don't look just at short-term sentiment and short-term positioning and short-term what the banks are saying. So be careful there. Look at what's your goal and your investment risk reward from this perspective. The point is that doesn't really matter what happens in the next few months. The point is the long-term risk reward. If the Fed increases interest rates another three times perhaps four times if inflation picks up this year then we will see the 10-year treasury perhaps at 4% in 2019 if there are further expected increases in interest yields and then you will see suddenly a quick shift and the impact on stocks. So inflation higher interest rates, higher expected yields, higher expected returns from stocks, higher discounts for future cash flows in stock valuation models which push stock values lower. So be careful about that and think a little bit in the long term not just what happens this week because the market is usually short-term oriented and myopic. Remember that. Further inflation might be the first sign of an overheating economy so of an economy where demand is higher than what the economy can produce of the potential signaling overheating economy signaling to the Fed that they have to push the brakes which inevitably as it's very difficult to carefully balance that leads to a recession somewhere down the line. So inflation also signals higher risk of a recession in the next one, two, three years that's also very important. So we have one positive increased revenues, increased earnings and two negatives higher expected return and higher possibilities of a recession which then pushes earnings down and valuations down and stock prices down. So two negatives, one positive and it's important to see how those balance out. Also what's very interesting is to see which stocks will do well and which stocks will do badly. So stocks like dividend stocks that cannot transfer higher prices on customers but have created a stable perspective but will be affected by higher yields will go down. So because you will see okay this dividend is 3% now the yield on the treasure is 3% this stock is much riskier this has no risk and of course you need 5% from this for the same risk reward or even 6% and then the stock price drops 50% because that's the 3% to 6% yield if the company cannot transfer higher prices. So you have to see also about the company can they increase prices without affecting demand that's the key when investing with inflation. Further companies that require a lot of debt constant refinancing will find refinancing difficult or at higher cost plus if they have low returns on capital that increase in debt costs might destroy their earnings. So you might soon find a company that has let's say high price to earnings ratio now at no earnings at no potential and no no positive outlook and then such companies will be in trouble thanks to inflation because inflation is a game changer it will change the economic environment however there will also be stocks that will do very good those who have a lot of debt very long term debt with fixed interest rates that they got now we have mentioned BERIC that has most of the debt after 2032 I don't know it's fixed or volatiles have to recheck that however such stocks will do good and take advantage of the past debt of the maturities that they have gotten at very low interest rates so that's also something to see REITs those who have very long maturities will do well those who have very very short maturities with the need of refinancing won't do that well so very interesting how that evolves and how every stock will be affected differently so therefore the reason such rule okay stocks will be doing good with inflation or bad it all again depends on each stock also stock that have a lot of value a lot of producing assets that have some return that can increase their prices thanks to inflation will do well however we have seen how book values have been completely deteriorated which again is something different than what we have been seeing in the past so again you cannot look at what happened in the past and what will happen now because everything is different companies do a lot of buybacks that lower the book value and the money is spent on something else so there is also a question if companies will have the assets to protect for inflation as it has been the case in the last 90 years also who does well in the late part of the economic cycle with inflation commodities commodities prices go up as there is demand and commodity producers with fixed let's a relatively fixed cost to do very well here i want to finish with something very important this is what happened to mortgage interest rates in the last few months that they have spiked from 3.8 below 4 to 4.4 and 4.6 for the 15 year and the 30 year fixed mortgage this makes buying a house much more expensive this makes mortgage payments much more expensive which could lower demand for houses which is also a sign how inflation impacts the economy it really puts pressure on that on a lot of things that involve huge investments and huge debt decisions so it's very interesting how inflation is really a game changer signaling the late part of the economic cycle the Fed and everything they will try to balance around that so that it doesn't put the economy into recession but eventually the economy is cyclical and we will see a recession perhaps next year perhaps this year perhaps in three years but be careful and expect that so it's all about risk reward it's all about your personal risk reward your personal perspective and what you can tolerate so be sure to analyze the risk what's going on in the markets what are the probabilities of a crash of a recession now inflation has increased the probabilities of a recession in the next year two years so we are going to see how that evolves continue watching the channel i'm going to constantly update you on what's going on in the markets and how that reflects your financial position and how you can see how protect yourself or take advantage of what's going on in order to reach your financial goals thank you for watching looking forward to comments i'll see you in the next video


Extend foundational computer science practices that leverage science, technology, engineering, art, and math with STEAM lessons in CSaw. With CSaw, STEAM is fun for every student. Students use their natural curiosities to explore real-world problems in a mix of cross-curricular, hands-on, and digital activities. All while building critical thinking, problem solving, collaboration, literacy and math skills, and more. STEAM lessons in CSaw cover foundational concepts aligned to leading computer science standards. All while leveraging powerful multimodal tools built for young learners, let's explore. Kindergarten through second-grade students get curious about the world around them with doctor science, doctor discovery, and fellow scientists from around the world. With STEAM, every student is a doctor of science. All lessons begin with an introductory video where classes are presented with two statements on the topic from real students. Then students explore these statements in a whole class discussion to determine which is true. Videos are designed to be paused at key moments to foster curiosity and discussion. Let's meet our fellow scientists playing the game with us today all the way from Uganda. Find out the science and doctor discovery. I'm Ethan and this is Samantha. Today we want to explore the science of matter. Which fact about matter is true? The first fact is, matter is anything that takes up space and smells good. The second fact is, physical properties are things that we can measure and observe without senses. Students then apply their knowledge to the world around them through various multi-dimensional technology, engineering, art, and math activities getting hands-on with their learning. Each lesson has everything teachers need to adapt lessons for their various instructional needs. STEAM design thinking challenges third through fifth graders to think like an engineer as they explore the design thinking process, which is a series of steps engineers follow to create solutions to solve problems. With the help of Gerald, our awesome engineer, students learn about a STEAM topic and complete a fun hands-on challenge using the design thinking method. I entered a paper airplane challenge and my prototype needs to fly over 10 feet. To better understand how airplanes fly came to the airport for inspiration. Good thinking, right? I need to understand the science behind how a plane flies. And in this case, the science is all about force. Then students read an informational text that supports key vocabulary and deepens their understanding of the topic. There are several options available within each lesson for students to practice the design thinking method, giving teachers the flexibility to pick one or do all three. Each challenge follows the same series of steps and allows for exploration across many subject areas, while giving students the opportunity to test, reflect and improve their design. Each lesson in our STEAM collections end with a ready-made assessment to give teachers actionable insights into student learning toward objectives. Teach students to be curious about the world around them and think like an engineer, while supporting problem-solving, critical thinking and creative expression in cross-curricular STEAM explorations in CSI.


My name is Lea. I was born in Madagascar, but I was adopted at the age of 7 by a French family. I wanted to participate in this La Jarrano Youth Diaspora Volunteer Program to connect with my Malagasy roots and to better understand what it means to be Malagasy. At the same time, I also wanted to contribute to the development of Madagascar, as modest as my contribution may be. I was assigned to work in the rural town of Montessau. I had many long conversations with council officials about the history of the town and how the town functions. I learned about the different roles played by council officials in the town. At the community center, I worked with children and organized educational and recreational activities in order to discover and develop their many talents. We organized drawing, dancing, and singing activities, and we also played games in the Montessau Town Hall. We then exhibited all of the children's work. We had in mind a place where people of all ages can meet up. We developed an area next to the town's sports facilities that included a place for board games, hopscotch, swings for the little ones, and a cottage garden where the children can learn to grow vegetables. Free time for children in Montessau, as many places in Madagascar, is limited. Oftentimes, families require children to contribute to household chores when not at school. However, even with limited free time, children always have a smile on their face and find creative ways to share and community activities. We also organized language exchanges in French and Malagasy and computer workshops. This was a very moving experience for me. Spending time with the kids and reflecting on their experiences, I was able to reclaim a part of my childhood that was lost when I was adopted. My adoption was a closed adoption where no information or contact is shared between the child and birth parents. It's hard to explain how I feel about this experience because it has been a very emotional time. It is humbling to think of the opportunities I have enjoyed simply because I was lucky enough to grow up elsewhere, the kinds of opportunities that children here simply don't have. At the same time, I was filled with awe by the level of trust, mutual support, and openness that existed here, and the willingness of the young people here to freely give me the time and support that has allowed me to reconnect with my roots.


One local family recently walked away with first place the nation's largest jigsaw puzzle contest as part of the St. Paul Winter Carnival. Our Sarah Winkelman spoke with some team members about the victory in the family division. The last part that we did were the trees because that was the hardest part. Betty explains the team's strategy on how they were able to complete a 500 piece puzzle in just over 37 minutes. I open up the bag and stuff and then rip open the puzzle and then we all start flipping the pieces and we all give the edge pieces to Emily and then the rest of us just kind of pick a color or an area in the puzzle to do and then we kind of do it and then we eventually put it all together. They call themselves the Pillager Puzzlers and the team is made up of mom, Betty, son, Joshua, daughter Emily and family friend Nicole. It's really kind of a great experience and really something fun that we can do together because I mean, yeah, it's just like another cool thing that we can do and kind of bond over, I guess. Betty first heard of the tournament nearly 20 years ago and competed with her siblings. And then when my kids got older, I asked them, would you be interested in doing it? And to my surprise, they said yes. With a long family tradition of putting together the pieces of the puzzle.  Even though the family doesn't compete at home, all of their practice help the Pillager Puzzlers win the family division back-to-back years. It's very intense. We're competitors. Emily was voted MVP by her teammates as she takes charge and leads the team while Nicole keeps them uplifted during the competition. And then Josh and I just, we just puzzle. As the excitement continues to build in the room. Just feel the buzz in the air. That's something that's going to, somebody's going to yell, done. Even though the tournament is just behind them, they're already looking forward. Hopefully we can win again next year. Next year the team will move on to compete in the adult division. Reporting in Pillager, Sarah Winkleman, Lakeland News. The Pillager Puzzlers finished over a minute ahead of the second place winners.

Hello Hello Blender conference her Blender hats. Hello Blender people We are two professional footwear designers Uri Shushka plus 20 years of footwear experience. Youssef Taran five years of footwear experience bought footwear designers, and we are here to present Something a little bit different. We are here to present an open source footwear project that we have created ourselves It ends up with this shoe that we will now share in the audience. Please have a look Eventually you will all be persuaded and you will be able to create it your on your own you just downloaded the download the files from the website and Produce it in your living room. It's an open source project. It's a passion project It's something that we do after work We play around and this is what we will present And I'm very like Blender is our number one tool. We use it really frequently and for several years already and Not only Blender gives us a tool to make the design in a new way Blender also gives us opportunity to think about the open source and open license So as all of us and all of you know here in audience the power of open source in a Blender We try to get inspired by this Ideology or this freedom and try to apply where this thing This freedom is applicable on something like a fashion in our case a footwear So we would like to show you our workflow how it goes from the idea to the physical product when it's run on Mainly on Blender engine. Let's get to it Starts with research. Here is a small sample of shoes that are tested almost on daily basis. We are both vivid runners We like to run. We like to test shoes. We like to base the design at something at the proper research one of the very easy research way or very very easy way to research stuff is to Document it here. You can see on the left side Running in the open source shoe in the middle. There is the barefoot running and on the right side is overlapped over over each other so the research is kind of the The base of anything that we do. This is the classical Physical research. However on slide three we right away jump into Blender It's really from in this project as you have mentioned we want from zero to the physical product and Research really or building a shoe really starts from the feet because shoe is the thing around the feet So as you can see on the image, that's a picture of my shoe of my feet I used a professional 3d scanner for for the feet and This data from the scanner was just imported to the Blender and that's where the journey started and it continues Blender creates this kind of a digital playground kind of a workshop in which you can Play with the product without making your hands dirty, basically. So That is to illustrate here as well You can test lots of things in this digital sphere. You can play around with it Before you start manufacturing it and it's great to see the community behind the Blender Because actually many things that we applied on in our workflow in our process actually came and get inspired by The people that we see here like something what do you use for a movie for a CG for what other aspects? We just see okay that applies for us. We can it can help us. So It's it's really powerful The first thing to design on the shoe is always a last so the shape of the foot and Blender helps with this a lot because Yeah, there is a lot of analytics behind a lot of measurements because shoe needs to fit Nicely on your feet. So we are using geometry nodes to do all the measurements We can interactively measure any diameter of the last we can grade the last to the To the old sizes that we have Think we can jump to the next slide Currently the We graded the shoe In nine sizes, but of course it's it can be graded and scale in any size. So again, it's It's great to play and Blender and a enables it this next step is always designing the midsole. So the bottom of the foot here are visualizations of How to start with it? Where does the where do where are the pressure points on the foot where are Where are the bones touching the ground like how do I? See it in the 3d. This is all enabled within Blender and you right here has a point about the dynamic stuff as well Yeah, because as as we mentioned, we are footwear professionals We work or we have experience with other like dedicated footwear softwares But really the Blender gives us opportunity to Visualize things that I don't see how I can achieve in other than How to call it gaming software that will allow you to whatever you imagine. So we do static visualization we do Dynamic visualization we can mimic the shoe or feet in the movement we can see visually say where the bones are we can see and Think about where will be the some point of hard surfaces or like We can visualize too many things and at early stages where the flex points are very important So this is for the midsole design and it can be as simple as Being able to grab all the elements together. So there are many traditional footwear 3d softwares We will not name them today But there is no possible to grab the midsole and the upper together and just tweak it. Of course, this is a Overkill kind of you will not design the shoe like this But it's a simple tool like this already improves the footwear design workflow tremendously for Blender designers This is nothing special. This is everyone knows that we can do it But really I'm not aware of any other software when at the same time I can build and redesign error shape the shoe last the bottom the outsole and the upper because for example if I want to Make a Specifically fitting shoe for any other feet. I can change the width. I can change the the drop and All the diameters if I do changes on my shoe last Automatically is connected to the outsole and that's amazing and powerful thing We are talking about the footwear 3d softwares Of course, we are aware of different polygonal softwares But Blender enables it and we can design the shoes inside when we are satisfied with the Shapes with the last with the bottom we go into rapid prototyping and I'm sure you are all aware of 3d printing Here especially on their side on the right side You can see the last number 42 so the same size but with different widths And yeah, you can visualize as much as you can in Blender But then to actually hold it in hand and be able to compare those small differences player Big difference in the final product of the shoe as as our goal It's not to end on the visuals our goal is not to make a renders and put it out on our portfolios We are really creating a functional footwear. So yeah Ability to 3d print overnight Design Validated it next morning. It's really speed up the process dramatically And it can be a simple small 3d printer here again a very easy trick Sometimes we are challenging the day. Okay, you work for a big companies You have access to whatever machinery you have but in this specific project. It's like we We finance the research and development by ourself. It's really our hobby. We don't have the budget for a high-end Machines so for example here we yet. We are using the Prusa machine or any low-end mid-end 3d printers, but if your 3d printing plate is too small for your object just cut it in two make it in the two pieces glue it afterwards and Trada you can validate your design you print it overnight next morning You come to the office you see the thing and you can go back to the Blender and do more interactions iterations works magic and It's always for designing for us. It's a lot about the speed and efficiency So especially in the concepting phase we try to keep one master file that rules all the others So in the concepting we are preparing the maps That we apply on the object so all the upper part of the shoe it's often just as one single object that it's mapped and That allows us to make a quick modification and iterations and Those maps are used for rendering for the visual check or check on the screen and plus those models are great also for a 3d print and Also, and also the same master file is a source of data source that we actually export the the curse to Dedicated to the pattern making software for for footwear developers We export files there and those files goes directly to the cutting machine So that's the connection from Blender to to physical work that also works perfectly and we don't have any issue with that It's a very quick iterative way how to produce lots of designs visualize them theoretically 3d print them This is the already the last step when you are starting to laser cut it As I think you can see on the next slide as well where when I have the patterns I bring them to a laser cutter Cut it out stitch it together in two hours. I have a upper that I can Start using or stitch it to my previous shoe or I use a CNC router get the files for the bottom CNC routed out of the foam easily available and Glue it together and here I have a shoe. Yeah, and with the shoe I can start running This is pretty exciting and obviously we know that not everyone has at home the the machines like CNC Like 3d printer laser cut for that. We are closely tied up with the fablabs. That's the global Digital fabrication labs that are everywhere. You can find one in Amsterdam. You can find it in other places You just go there you take your training and they allow you to use their machines So today on the board there are like 2500 drops so actually our open source design can be produced and manufacturer almost anywhere on the planet But the design is kind of finished and we are we're very happy We are always very happy to validate it to start writing with it. You can see on the right side I ran a marathon in the middle you right runner cause it's a marathon just Couple of weeks ago. There are some trail races It's a proper running shoe and there was also the goal in the beginning We want to make a shoe that you can run in It's not just something that you step into and take a picture of this is a serious shoe that you can all make Yourself enabled by Blender one of the marketing statement that we are using is that this is the worst fastest open source running shoes You can guess how many competitor competition is this field, but maybe that's the way and recommendation for anyone if you want to be unique just do something completely different and Maybe I will just say the side story at the beginning when the project started I had like the goal for this year What about if we can make a marathon under three hours in this open source shoes So we team up with Yosef and Actually, he almost ruined the project because he ran this sub three marathon before we launch the project So like okay, and what are the challenges now for this year? Why when we receive the achieve the goals? Before we launch the project, but the point of the slide is you can really run in the shoe I'm wearing it right now. It has 250 kilometers on it one of the first Samples has like six hundred seven hundred kilometers on on it. It's a serious running shoe We enjoy validating and it's it's a lot about the sustainability like people are asking Hey guys, why I need to make shoes by my own otherwise. I can go to the internet click and have shoes tomorrow You have control over the design if you manufacture shoes by yourself You know how you made it if something goes wrong so you can fix it you can change it so Yeah, there is a freedom that the other shoes hardly can can offer You should go right now and download them However, Blender does not stop there as you saw in the beginning you can easily create a powerful visuals and We call this part of the presentation this kind of a digital photo studio in which you can create the digital twin of The of the shoe and there is four simple tricks to make a better footwear visual in Blender First one use a 3d scan retopologize it keep it in low poly the 3d scan doesn't have to be perfect. Just Make it as low poly as possible in tip number two keep the low poly and drive it through modifiers Those four are the best ones subdivision solidify especially when you split the three materials So the back face the rim and the front face. It's easily Editable in the in the modifier a tap and the bullion bullion for perforation for eyelets it works again rather quick iteration strong visuals the Third maybe the most difficult one. How do I do stitching if I really want to go for a realistic visual? We recommend to create a Stitching or to model the stitching so we model the stitch and then in video to you drive it through a Array modifier and through a curve modifier on the surface that you want to apply the stitch to looks strong Fort around a round laces in the curve if the laces Round just use a curve if it's slightly off You can use the profile curve to to change it if it's a flat a flat lace model it I would say much easier and Finally, you have a digital twin You have a digital twin and of course you're not happy with it because it's a render that you have created and It doesn't look as good as you want it. So you think um, maybe I Would like to make it more realistic the easiest way or rather quick way for a for a strong visual Take a picture of a background of a real situation and use this picture as a photo background on the right side you can see that The plane is slightly modeled to give a bit of shadows and then there is a glue bottle Downloaded from Sketchfab. I think Free asset to give it more realism and tada here is a Rather strong visual that you can use on the website on the poster Product visualization you are all familiar with it. It's more than possible in blender for footwear It's widely used not so much talked about in footwear industry product with or footwear product with is a visualization in blender We don't stop there. Of course when you have this digital twin you can then start changing materials changing colors So this is one of the simplest you change colors. You make it rotate You show it to yourself You show it to other people who would like to have it in in different colors You don't have to source the materials in different colors, especially you just do it digitally Yeah, you can nicely save the time if you know that you have these and that material in such a color Even from this pre prototyping phase you can see what you have on the on the desk What kind of physical materials you can imitate it and you can see how the shoe it looks like and then okay Maybe the the midsole doesn't fit in color and you can source that so it also helped for the In the color management for the manufacturing part that you can know what you will get at the end So very powerful and last but not least you can explain the product simple exploded view It's now used to explain the product to you one more time So that you go to the website open source.com download the shoe and start making your own footwear Here it's a simple visualization made in blender through the digital twin of footwear strong if you would like to know more about how to Make it or maybe question to the audience. Is there anyone interested to make the open source shoes? Oh Hell yeah, that was so far that the highest For the people who see it from the video it was almost 50% as I counted it Okay, so that's that's our website on the website You can find and download all production files needed for a 3d printer for CNC for for the pattern making As we mentioned everything is a license under creative common license So you can do you can make you can produce if you stuck somewhere in the midway try to contact us we are really more than willing to help you if there is some obstacle and Yeah, if you are able to finish the shoes absolutely Send us picture. We would like to see more makers more people are trying to work on sustainability and Do the things in their own way? Yes, please share. There is also the files The digital files.

Tiger, Financial News Network. Okay, folks, Larry Pessemental for TFNN, and we're going to talk about the markets today. We were down sharply. We've come back just like it usually does, roaring like a lion, and it is certainly doing that right now. We got the S&P strongly up, making new highs up at 5, let me see, 1841 to 85. The old high was 41.98. We're going to take that out usually within a heartbeat or so. The only one that is actually down today is the Dow Jones, and I keep talking, it's going to be up because we have just accelerated. News is that everything is good and it's going to continue to be that way. So that's what we're watching here this morning. And we could still go higher. The gold is still down on the day. Silver was down about 60 cents at one time, has now come storming back at 2560. The US dollar is a little bit stronger, but nothing to write home about. And the grain markets have been under a great deal of pressure today, too, with the week being down 15 cents, being down 13 cents and corn being down 5 cents. The dollar index, like I mentioned, was still acting pretty strong. But the main thing here is we picked up speed here in the stock market. And as I mentioned on the other program that we we're in a topping zone, folks, that doesn't mean today, tomorrow is going to be the top. It should be because we have these cycles that should be up today, the 27th. That doesn't mean it can't be off by a day or two. So we have to remind ourselves that that could happen at any time.  So you can't stand in front of it. If the train is coming in that direction, just get out of the way of it. And you're going to be just fine. That's really what you have to do. There's nothing else.  No one does and no one expects you to know that. So remember, it's not how much money you make. It's how much money you don't lose because you're going to pick up a blind and be like the blind hog and pick up an acorn every once in a while. So live every day in an attitude of gratitude and may God bless.
