Yes, he was we was there me and Bishop and Cuz I introduced Snoop Dogg to Bishop and Bishop the Snoop Dogg that's where you made it bad. Yeah, I gave a Snoop Dogg Bishop book and so we all became good friends cuz the friend of mine Her name was Stacy small as she introduced Me to Snoop Dogg and I introduced Bishop to Snoop Dogg because they was working with death row back then Man, and they was singing on the death row records and with little boy in Chicago called Danny boy. And so at the time I Got a chance of no snoop. We was kicking it. He put me in a lot of videos That's the best thing ever second thing happened to me because Snoop Dogg made a way to all around riding Looking good now, you know, he's support me money wise too. And I thank God for him today cuz a lot of rappers ain't Did nothing for me and Bishop number one the hip-hop all this bling bling bling it came from us Yeah, but I gotta go back to Snoop when he I remember when he did that that that video and the family's Dramatic she's like everywhere. I guess oh and never remember that video in California when he did that Okay, it was there. What did y'all think about that because that was pretty much him really showing Respect, but then some people could look at it is should he be using this because this hip-hop thing is well And you know what I mean? We're at the time To get where he had to get today. Yes, he used it and you know, Bishop was always standing there with him I'm in Chicago, but Bishop been standing there with him day one.  I remember we made them brothers Man Bishop a cold man it I'm not trying to hold his hat and I ain't gonna hold nobody hat But Bishop was a cold brother when I met him. I still respect him. He gave me my respect, but when I was a 17 he was about 23 or 25 Few years older than me My like I said, my uncles gave me the game my mama brothers was sharp when I met Bishop So I dressed purple and white them my colors he green and gold was still Snoop dog wants to live that life And we crown them at the player ball. We crown him. We cry on ice tea They got to come through famous players through Bishop down magic one if they want to be stamp certified Because He the president I'm the vice president So I respect them was Snoop dog. I said man go home man go home to your lovely wife He went on we said man. Thank you. So he just did a birthday party two years ago. I Walk in Snoop dog jumped off the stage and ran For I can get in here in the door and told his wife he said baby this man here The cause we've been together Made me come home minister Seymour made me come home to you and she said shook my Thank you so much for making my husband come home forever And Snoop Dogg party After you had did that and said that to him mm-hmm now we had Naomi Campbell We had pup daddy at the party Show you the respect that Snoop Dogg has for his wife today Is that Shantae walked in there and called his name one time Calvin?  I said yes, ma'am When he come down to the wife That's golden with the players Man, grab a note and she she didn't want she didn't want her husband hanging around that and I understand Because my wife be saying the same thing. I say I know him always been a superstar. So when you hear famous players I originated that too. She's me and my wife got the argument that she said I Have your last name I'm pristine beard. I said yes, you are but this she said y'all ain't you y'all ain't famous Players, so I got that from her. Y'all think y'all so famous player. So I got it for my wife and I Kicked it with the players, but when I told that brother Snoop Man ain't nothing better going home when I go home every day with them grandbabies in them great-grandchildren I have a job to do. Mm-hmm. I learned to be a grandfather a great grandfather. Hey, man When you become a great grandfather Hey, man, that that puts you on a Another level You not no father number to a grandfather than a great-grandfather because grandbabies coming here coming here and coming there Hey, man, that made me grow up a little bit. I want to ask that's a legacy. You don't have to pass down That's right. I want to go back though. I want to go back to when you said you was in Las Vegas the night Tupac was killed mm-hmm at the Tyson fight Keefe D and all these guys going to jail all these years later It's a surprising thing for me when I think about it like like man I thought that case was closed. They never it was always gloomy. Just give me the spill on how was the atmosphere that night? After that it happened when you know what before it happened We was there, you know and when the fight broke out from everything when the fight broke out We was there. I'll let me tell you something too.  He was there floor Mayweather.  So when he came to Chicago Years later. I say hey, man I'm the one you beg to take a picture with and you don't want to take a picture with me now So I remember when he first he didn't want to take a picture with you Why he came to Chicago because sometimes he was bigger that time. That's right So he got the big he he got the big ear. So that's why I'm telling you that night We was out there at the key scene of what I remember they kicked over to the Casino tables They it was they were it was riding and they would they told they told the place up Y'all was in the fifth center y'all seen all this action going on is going on real time real time all this was going on They told a casino up man, and uh everybody was running screaming and hollering and stuff like that.

G's player. We have Bishop behind the the wall and They got a chance to meet Bishop signing his books buying his books and everything I think that was the best thing that ever happened to the Milwaukee boys Snooke and all of them. They was marshmallows when they come down our game His players is right now. No, they couldn't step up to us. We know we're gonna steal minister Well Kenny actually came two or three years man. I was like hold up. Yeah. Yeah He came in he came in but he still had to go through Bishop. That's right when he came in Kenny was good What he did he good Kenny was cold But some kind of way he fell off his horse and got out of sight see a lot of time people get out of Get out of sight and follow on their horses. They can do good or do bad But he he stayed back and just did his thing. What are you doing now?  He's doing some some good He's doing a lot of great stuff for the community like I'm doing put the guns down stop the killing He's feeding a lot of people right now. He got a lot of rappels behind him. He's doing a great job Man, you know, why did you meet? Sorry? How did you meet Kenny Ivy? Kenny, um, was it that night?  He ain't gonna answer no phone I said, man, why you got a phone? You're never answer it. You can call them a hundred times He don't answer the phone so they can get through me. So I talked to them brother That's okay. I'm gonna fight y'all out y'all get a chance to talk to him So man, that's what they came in. They start coming in and snooker them They came in there with all that girls got the head down Which that's something we don't deal with in our game when guys mess with babies and stuff like that We we don't know nothing about all that because the game you got to respect the game in order to get respect but when they start the gas I mess with the keys and now we don't know nothing about that and Put a bad room on us because we don't live like that You got to be old enough to come around this organization. If not, we're not letting you in No, I get that man. I can't say it I think he said that him and down one had done and got mad at him because of the word it was a church or something It was something that he had he had see it. Yeah, this is what he said Like I said earlier My mother and father was preachers, right Church CH you are see it. It's church now Church is CH you use the age. I designed the name. I designed the word. I made the name up What's the meaning of the word? The meaning of it is When a group of people get together if you listen to the OJ He said family reunion When a group of people get together longest positive and we having a great time a good time No cussing no fighting That's what mean church. That's what it means when a group of people get together and we'll agree on the same thing That's called church having a party having church and my grandmother used to say y'all kids do and they get ready for church She ain't said church. She was old-fashioned Such that's why I got it from church. Okay, so what did Kenny say? Kenny said Man they plan with the with the church they plan with the Lord. No, we won because it was he wasn't church He would think it was church, but it's church and I explained to know y'all see a lot of people don't know what I Guess they know what church me and they didn't know what church me like I said I have a pattern and I know what it is because I created it. So it was something I created the majority of all the rappers shouted in a Versus or what singing but Bishop dawn magic one the Snoop Dogg elevated and took it to another level So that's what it is. Mm-hmm. Wow that and that's and that's something else because when you think about just the way Everybody use that word the way everybody use y'all terminologies How did that what how did you guys feel when everybody started in the hip-hop game with carrying those cups? And they was carrying them cups on every video Acting as if they was busy. See that's the point deputy glass lady. She created the glasses She been around us about 12 13 years, you know out of 48 years and me and Bishop and We've been doing major things in and all over the world But they still had to come through him the bling bling all the jury you see all the rappers talking about bling bling and jury and pretty cars It came from him man came from him. Yeah, cuz he exploded and never know. Hey, man For the hip-hop thing.

Coming to you from RGIS Studios, I am Anicia Antoine and this is your Midday News Brief. The Taiwanese technical mission in conjunction with the Ministry of Agriculture hosted a farmers market in the community of Mabuya Valley. The main objective of the farmers market was to encourage the purchasing of local produce. The initiative forms part of the enhancement of the efficiency of production distribution supply chains in the fruits and vegetable sector project that focuses on 7 crops over a 3-year period. The farmers market showcased 3 of the 7 crops under the vegetable diversification project as well as other produce such as honey and local wines. Chen Pinyu of the Taiwanese technical mission noted that this is the 5th farmers market being held in St Lucia. The enhancement of the efficiency of production distribution supply chains in the fruits and vegetable sector project commenced in 2019 and will culminate in 2021. The Department of Health and Wellness has informed that elective and day surgeries at the Victoria Hospital are suspended until further notice due to an increase in intensive care unit ICU patients. Dr Eugene Ford says the increase of ICU patients is as a result of chronic diseases as well as a rise in violent cases. The medical director is appealing to the general public to put measures in place to manage their health. In addition, persons are asked to curb violence by changing their behaviour to avoid complications which result in long admissions and ICU admissions. For more information, you can contact the Secretary at the Victoria Hospital at 468-4203. UK resident British High Commissioner Steve McCready indicated that the British Consular Services is taking a new approach to assisting British nationals by focusing more on preventative measures. Out of this, the British High Commission developed, funded and facilitated the Serious Sexual Offences course for members of the Royal St Lucia Police Force attached to the vulnerable person's unit, VPU. The course was geared towards enhancing the capabilities of officers to deal with Serious Sexual Offences. Minister for Tourism, Information and Broadcasting, culture and creative industries Hon. Dominic Fede expressed gratitude to the British government for its continued support. The Serious Sexual Offences course commenced on Monday 27th January 2020 and lasted a period of two weeks. The closing ceremony for the Serious Sexual Offences course was held jointly with the consular reception on the 6th of February 2020. This has been your media news brief. Thank you for watching.


Hello and welcome to the session in which we will discuss the third annuity. Before you learn about the third annuity, make sure you understand the present value of an ordinary annuity and a single payment and the future value of an ordinary annuity and the future value of a single payment. It's critical. Don't attempt the third annuity until unless you have the basics because without understanding those two you won't be able to understand the concept of the third annuity. Now this topic is covered usually in a finance course but you could see it also on the CPA exam in a multiple choice where you are being asked to find the present value of a third annuity. Whether you are an accounting student or a finance student or a CPA candidate for that matter, I strongly suggest you take a look at my website farhatlectures.com. I don't replace your CPA review course. I'm a useful addition. I explain the material differently than your CPA review course. I can help you understand your CPA review course better.

It means that the rent payments begins after a specified period in the future. So simply put it looks something like this. If this is the time frame, this is 0, 1, 2, 3. So the payments don't order seats don't start until year 4, year 5, year 6. So the first three years you don't get anything or you don't pay anything. So this is what a deferred annuity is. So we have to compute the deferred annuity whether it's the future value or the present value. The good thing about the future value, it's the same thing as the future value of a regular annuity. There's nothing to the third about. So if you are being asked to compute the future value of an amount that's starting in year 3, it goes from year 3, 4, 5 and 6, 3, 4, 5 and 6, it doesn't really matter. The future value is the same computation. You don't have to make any adjustment. The present value of the third annuity would require you to take two-step process. The step one is to find the present value of the annuity at the future date. So basically find the present value of the annuity. Then the second step, once you find the present value of that annuity at the future date, you find the present value you computed in step one as a single amount. Well, the best way to show you this is to actually show you an example, this two-step process. Okay, how much you will pay for an investment that will pay you six annual payments of $5,000 starting five years from now earning 8%. So here's what you are being promised here. How much will you pay for this investment? But we're not going to pay you anything now. You're going to pay us the money, but you have to find out how much it's, how much you should pay. And we're going to start paying you the money. We're going to start making the payment year five, five years from now. So year five, six, seven, eight, nine, and 10. And we're going to be giving you $5,000. Each axis, $5,000, we're going to be giving you those six annual payments. Okay. And how much you're going to be earning and the period equal to six, six periods and I equal to 8%. Well, the first thing we do using this two-step process is first find the present value of this annuity. Just simply treat it as an annuity. You are standing at year four. Well, n equal to six, i equal to six, i equal to eight, I'm going to go to the present value factor of my table, n equal to six. So this is six, i equal to eight. This is eight. And the present value factor is 4.6229. So simply put, I'm going to take my $5,000, find the present value of those times 4.6229. And let me find the answer for this. So we get 5,000 times 4.6229. And that's equal to 23,114 dollars, 23,114. So at year four, you are standing at year four with 23,114 dollars. We don't care about year four, because this is into the future. We want to know how much is the present value of this payment today. Well, I have to go back and discount this three, two, one, zero. So I have to discount this one, I have to discount it as a single payment, because once I find the present value of the annuity, so the red part is the annuity, now it's a single payment problem. So I have to find the single payment value 23,114. So here n equal to 4, i equal to 8%. And let me find going to the present value of a single amount table, I'm going to have to find the factor n equal to 4, i equal to 8%. And that's 0.735. So if I take this amount times 0.735, that's going to give me 16,989.15. So this is how much I will pay today, or how much this deferred annuity is worth today. If I want to earn 8% and starting to receive the payment five years from now, obviously you can prove it to yourself if you're interested in that. So that's one way in computing the deferred annuity. There's another way that you can compute this deferred annuity by computing the deferred annuity for 10 years, then subtracting four. So one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, 10. Remember the payments don't start until year five. One, two, three, four, five, six. So what you do, another way to do this, this is another method, is to look at this annuity as a 10-year annuity, find the present value of a 10-year annuity, then subtract, then deduct four years from it. Well, what do I mean by this? Well, it means take the $5,000, first assume it's a 10-year annuity. And yeah, you have to, I prefer the two-step because the two-step, you can see what's going on, but here it's the same concept, just you have to be comfortable with what you are doing here. So basically n, so we're assuming here is n equal to 10, i equal to five, and the factor is 6.716.7101, 6.7101. And this is n equal to 10, i equal to eight. And let's see what's the answer for this. Like 5,000 times 6.7101. Well, what we're going to do, we're going to subtract before we do the computation, because there's only to do the computation before we do the subtraction. We can do the computation, they do the subtraction, but let's factor it out. Then we're going to take, we're going to subtract from the total factors, we're going to subtract this part here. We're going to subtract n equal to four, i equal to eight percent. So n equal to four, i equal to eight, and that is 3.3121 minus 3.3121. So let's see. So we have a factor of 6.7101 minus 3.3121, and that's equal to 3.398. Now we'll take the 5,000 times 3.398, and that's going to give us 16,990. Let's see if we are close to the answer. Well, that's at 16,990.  To take a look at my website farhatlectures.com, I don't replace your CPA review course. I'm a useful addition. Your CPA exam is worth it. Invest in yourself, invest in your career, study hard, good luck, and of course, stay safe.


First of all, there's capability-based planning. Perhaps this is the source of the most requested new concept in argument. I think over the last five years or so, capability-based planning has seen increased usage, and especially the last three years, I've seen a lot of organizations drawing up capability maps and working with capabilities as a way of planning investments and also to identify things they lack. So that's resulted in these four new concepts that we've added to the language that really help you address this, say, more strategic planning issue. First of all, there's capability. And I'm not going to repeat all the definitions to you, but just to give you a flavor of what these things mean. Capability is what you can do as an organization, what you're able to do. So it's something that you may be able to do right now. It could also be something you want to be able to do in the future. And that's, of course, what you want to do with capability-based planning. You want to identify the capabilities that you need to develop, that you need to improve, or that you want to acquire. In that sense, it's also a concept that's different from a business function. We can have a long discussion on the difference between capability and function, but business functions are more closely aligned to the current organization structure, are explicitly managed by the organization and assigned to, say, organization units that have to perform these capabilities. These functions, the capabilities are more future-oriented, are more at what you want to be able to do and where you want to go with the organization. And capabilities are also not explicitly managed. You might have all kinds of abilities as an organization that you don't explicitly assign responsibilities to. So it could be that you uncover new capabilities that you already have that didn't realize, and you can do new things with that, maybe create new business out of that. So capabilities and business functions are related, but they're not the same. You do need business functions to realize your capabilities. But capabilities can be much broader than that. We'll see some examples later on. Now we have resource. Resource is a generic concept that collects all the, let's say, all the structure elements and arguments that contribute to the capabilities. So those could be the people in the organization, the systems you have, the physical assets, but also the skills, et cetera. Those can all be seen as resources, financial resources, of course. Those all help you realize your capabilities. And then we have a new concept called outcome. We did have concepts for modeling goals, but we didn't have concepts for modeling the results. So we now have a concept called outcome that helps you model what you actually achieve. And finally, course of action. That's a new concept that I mentioned already that was taken from the business motivation model. It's typically used to model strategies and tactics. So it's typically used to describe how you employ certain capabilities to achieve these outcomes you want to have. So capabilities are typically used in the form of a capability map. That's the most common way of drawing that. It's a structured overview of what the organization does or can do. And it's very useful to use capability maps because you can map all kinds of other information onto them. Say the strategic importance of certain capabilities or the cost associated with them or performance or other KPIs. You can relate all kinds of resources to them. And you can, of course, use it for planning purposes. So the example I'm using today is from Ark Insurance, our petitions but realistic insurance company that we have used for many years now. There's this description in the white paper available through the open group on Ark Insurance and SOGAP. This is also something we're now updating to reflect the Archimage 3 concept. But this is the Arch Insurance capability map inspired by the Panorama 360 reference model for insurance companies. So here you see the typical things that Arch Insurance needs to be able to do to function as an insurance company. This is their current capability map, divided in strategic operational and supporting capabilities. This is what they do today. And then they made an assessment of their current capabilities against efficiency. So they've created a number of metrics to see how efficient their capabilities are. Benchmarked them against an industry average and here you see the heat map resulting from that. And you see that some of these capabilities perform really well. The green ones, these are above average. But some perform below average and there's improvement there. So this kind of heat map like this, that's something that management often uses to see where they need to invest. Where do we need to improve? Where do we need to put management attention, etc. So this is just one such overview. Of course there's more behind this. It's not just one number for a capability but there can be quite complicated analysis behind that. And I'll get to that later on. So maps, those are very useful. You can use them in various different ways. You can, for example, plot the strategic relevance of capabilities there. One strategy here is mapped in yellow and the other in orange. So some capabilities contribute to one strategy, others contribute to another strategy. You can use it to look at more detailed business goals. So here you see a bit more variation. And you can even plot, for example, the supporting applications on top of your capabilities. So this is, oh, you get to be strapped to pajama like pictures. But this is really useful to show the same background, the same capability map, and map different kinds of information on top of that because people recognize this layout, recognize the capabilities. And it's very easy to use this to depict all kinds of information. In our software business and enterprise studio, this is really a one click operation. It's really very easy to map that on top of these capabilities. So these color views are, I really use them very extensively to show all kinds of data. Like I said, there's more behind that than just the overview of capabilities and the colorful pictures. Capabilities are often assessed across different dimensions. And here I've taken six dimensions that are quite common, the people, process and product dimensions, the technology supporting the capability, the information you have, and also an external vision on the capability. And here what you see is that the current state of the capability, well, it was a state in 2015, it lacks especially in the product dimension. So there's a lot of room for improvement there. And this might also be a way to allocate investments to this capability specifically for this product dimension. It needs to improve in that dimension so you can use these analyses to allocate your investments. To model this, of course, there's even more detail behind that. So what we see here is that this process dimension itself is, again, a more complicated metric that's built up from a number of different submetrics. In this case, the adaptability, the maturity, the performance, and the variance of the process. We model that using so-called metrics. And in ArchiMate, in the language, there's a so-called language customization mechanism that's described in the standard, and it basically says this can specialize existing concepts in the language and add these specializations to your model. And metric is one example of that. It's defined as a specialization of the already existing driver concept in ArchiMate and a driver that can be measured. Metric is a driver where you can really put a measure on it. And here I've got another one, a performance metric that has a number of incidents, user experience, and SLA compliance as part of the metrics. And you see some numbers there. Those are the weights attached to that. Metrics are typically, on the one hand, associated to architecture elements. You measure something in the architecture element. And the outcome of the measurement, you can model that with the assessment concept in ArchiMate. So the metric tells you how to measure things. The assessment is then the outcome. So this is already supported by ArchiMate just by adding this one extension, this one concept. And then you can do things like this. Well, if we then look at different capabilities of ArchiSurance and relate that to different strategic options, and I've listed there are two options here. There's a longer story behind that, but we will show that in some of the blogs I'm currently writing. ArchiSurance sees two main strategic options. One is to really focus on cost savings and operational excellence and efficiency. And the other is to really focus on the customer and on becoming a fully digital insurance company. And they call that the digital customer intimacy strategy. So those are two different options, but you might even want to combine them. You might want to say, well, we have to be both efficient and very customer oriented and focus on social media and some other things I'll explain later on. This is just a way of representing these capabilities.


Welcome folks, this is the 4 p.m. market update with your host Jacob Shoup, that is me. Let's take a look here at the ESMini closing about $43.45, RTY closing about $17.41, NQ about $15,037, the YM about $33,826. We are down a little slightly in all these. Gold contract shaken out finally at $0.1963.50, Silver about $23. We have Copper trading about $358 and then Crude Oil at $87.13, Tesla for the days lost to nearly about 5% or trading at $242.68, so Dynamics closing at $103.41 and then DXY finishing still up in the $106 area, that is the lower end of its higher range, but still it is persistent at that level and that is always not great for stocks. The metal market seems to be doing okay all things considered with that and now a lot of people are talking about a lower market having to do with Israel and Hamas, but I think that is just, I think even Dan said that in the den earlier. Dan if you didn't, I'm sorry if I'm applying this to you, but the point is it is easy to kind of say that, right? I think we are just seeing kind of a short term trend to the downside on all of that. Some interesting news, we can take a look at Amazon, well first let's just take a look at Moderna real quick, they are down a little bit, okay didn't click the right ticker. So down a bit, so what's happening, basically you know COVID vaccine sales aren't as high and that's the kind of effecting of, their run was pretty good trading nearly the high of above $160, probably about $163, $163.52, but that's almost, you know, halved essentially at $86 here and that's just kind of the deal, right? Governments aren't buying the COVID vaccines as much and that was driving a lot of their valuation, but it was good while it lasted with that. Amazon doing some cool things is down about 2.49% today, but they're actually testing drones to deliver medications in an hour or less to our house, obviously that really helps elderly people and others who have difficulties taking their medications due to some of the diseases or illnesses that they suffer from, so that's pretty cool, we'll see how that turns out, I like that kind of stuff folks, thank you so much for joining me, I'll be with you again tomorrow throughout Friday, we have Tommy tomorrow at 9am Eastern time followed by Basil, Steve, Larry and then me, have a great rest of your evening folks.
