So I thought, maybe I better get up here. Okay, all right, I know it has been a long day for all of you when you're the seniors somehow, you know, you're older, so everybody says, oh, you can wait till the end. But you know what, the best things come to those who wait. So here you are. Congratulations on a great day. How was your judging experience? Was it okay? Was it good? Was it great? Was it amazing? Where are we in this spectrum? I can't hear you, have old ears. Okay, well, hopefully you met a lot of very interesting judges who were excited about talking to you and wanted to learn more about your project and encourage you to continue to participate in science and engineering research. This is just the beginning for you.  But every single one of you has achieved an amazing accomplishment. There are some of you who had to compete.   So in order to make it to the state level science and engineering fair, you need to realize that you have accomplished a great deal. We've had, you know, you think of all the thousands of students in North Carolina, and you have been able to achieve something very few of you have been able to accomplish. So whether you take home a prize or not today, you need to realize that you've accomplished a lot. You're special. And I am very excited to know you and to read about your projects. And hopefully you'll continue working in the field. Now Tom Williams is behind me saying I was supposed to be making up time instead of musing up more time. So I am going to officially welcome you to the senior NCSEF, North Carolina Science and Engineering Fair, 2024 awards ceremony. Good afternoon. I'm glad you've all survived. We need to give a special thanks to the person in the back of the room who is responsible for the streaming service that we've had and his wife too. Ram is assistant back there. Hasn't been working alone. That's Jeff Hattley and he's from the North Carolina School of Science and Mathematics. So we really greatly appreciate your time and your service and the virtual students, I hope you were able to get the link so you were able to follow along with the awards ceremony. You may notice at times that when we call out an award that a student may not come forward. Remember we did have virtual judging on Wednesday. So we had about 54 projects in that judging experience. So there are some award winners that are coming from there as well. So we are thankful to be back here at North Carolina State University and the good thing is, is by the time you get through the traffic from the basketball game should be over with and it should be easier for you to get out. So I would like to again congratulate all of you and I would like to recognize Dr. Gary Kelly who is the chairman of our Board of Directors for the North Carolina Science Fear Foundation. All righty, thank you, Judy. Good afternoon again. Uh-oh. Do we fall asleep that quick? All right, let's try one more time. Good afternoon. Good afternoon. Perfect, perfect, that's the way I like it. All right, I am honored to be the chairman of the foundation, the North Carolina Science Fear Foundation as the non-profit sponsor of the North Carolina Science and Engineering Fair. We are very, very proud to be the long-time state affiliate to the Regeneron International Science and Engineering Fair for our Senior Division Grand Awards and for the second year, the Thermo Fisher Scientific Junior Innovators Challenge Award. On behalf of our board, the Science and Engineering Fair Planning Committee, our many judges and volunteers and our devoted regional directors, we want to congratulate each and every one of you for being a regional winner and a state finalist and for your initiative to engage in science and or engineering research. Well done. In addition, we'd definitely be remiss if we didn't acknowledge our over 170 judges and our over 125 volunteers who were so instrumental in making today happen.  And this wouldn't happen without your assistance. Before we recognize our award recipients, I'd just like to do another shout out to our Platinum sponsors, Burroughs Welcome Fund, the Good Night Educational Foundation, the North Carolina Science, Mathematics and Technology Education Center, our Gold Sponsors, RTI, DLH, Pfizer, the Broadcom Foundation, North Carolina Central University, College of Health and Sciences, the Triangle Universities Nuclear Laboratory, our Silver Sponsors, the Strategic Educational Alliances, our Bronze Sponsors, Rowe, Red Hat, Smith's and Net Architecture, Crea Therapeutics, Bolton and Mink and also our NCSEF partners, North Carolina State University, Meredith College, Strawberry Studios and Stem Wizard. Please join me in a round of applause and thank us for these sponsors. Now we're on to the good part. Are you all ready? Are you sure you're ready? All right. Well, it is my pleasure to introduce our MC for today's Senior Division Awards, Dr. Rachel Graham of the University of North Carolina Gilling School of Global Public Health and our long-time co-chair in our SRC committee. Dr. Rachel. Okay. Your patience is about to be rewarded. I want to join with my partners up on stage here in welcoming you and thanking you for all the work that you've done. Parents, teachers, students, all of you have done a tremendous amount to get to this point today. I would also like to, on behalf of the North Carolina Science Fair Foundation, express a special appreciation to Judy Day as a long-serving volunteer, a director of the NCSEF for her leadership and to our regional directors who have also been with us for years and for some decades. So thank you. I'd also like to thank Tom Williams, who's standing right behind me, who serves with Judy this year as our co-director of the fair and has agreed to serve as volunteer director starting January 1st of this year. As Judy steps down, Tom has been active with the NCSEF for the past 16 years and has also served as educator in residence for the Scientific Review Committee for most of that time. So thank you, Tom. I'd like to join with Gary in thanking North Carolina State University for serving as our host site for these past four years. So thank you very much. And I should remind everyone before I start presenting the awards in just a moment here, while you may not walk away with an award today, you have won because you have gotten here and you have gotten here through your own efforts, through your own determination. And that is something that you should be very, very proud of. And I also want to give a plug to our social media. The site formerly known as Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, we have handles for all of those. So share your success. Okay. When they come across this day, it will send me a picture. So when you come across, you come across from this direction. And then you'll shake hands and then proceed this direction to Coleman, where you will be taken for pictures. Okay.

These awards are given to the projects that the judges deemed were the best representatives of the work done in their respective categories. Will Palace, yeah. Sorry, we're going to pause for a second to allow kids to come back from the photos. I don't have any vamp material, I'm sorry. We've already learned that nobody's going to do a dance for you, so. Not dance, not dance inclined or talented. What was someone's best experience today? Anybody? The food? Really? Okay. Anybody else? The judge interaction was really interesting today. Judge interaction, great. We like to hear that. I want to know who came the farthest today. Coleman was it, where's Coleman? He went. Who drove more than three hours to get here? Who drove more than four hours to get here? Anybody drive five hours to get here? There's no pride, I'm sorry, I'm just figuring it out. Four hours is long. Four hours is long. It's four and a half hours to Knack's head from here, so that's a long way. Who's the furthest west? Anybody from Boone? Close to Boone? Further west than Boone? They go southern, they can go further west. We got one back over here, couple over here. Where'd she come from? Okay. How about East? Anybody from the Outer Banks? Wilmington? Couple from Wilmington? Good, all right. It's our goal as a foundation to bring STEM research to all 100 counties in the state, so we are trying our best, and you guys are a great representation of that. This is me vamping, by the way. How are we doing, Coleman? Okay, great. Where'd Tom go? Okay, I don't know. Okay, well let's get started with the Senior Category Awards.

First to allow people to come back from pictures, but also to do the raffle, the passport raffle. Fulfilling out your passport and submitting it there, you have the chance of getting a $25 cash award. There'll be two of those. And a scholarship to a North Carolina School of Science and Math Online Summer Accelerator Program. Also two of those. Those are your cash prize winners. Okay. For the cash prize, we have, I'm reading your handwriting, so if I get it wrong, I'm sorry. Peter Soon. And Sandria Richards. We shall see. And now drawing for the scholarship to the NCSSM Online Summer Accelerator Program. Again, there are two awards of that. We'll email them information to get in touch with the science and math to sign up. Okay, the winners of this award will be emailed information for how to sign up for it after today. The first winner, Zhiyu Cao. And the second winner is Claire Fields. Those two are going to pass it. Okay, I... I wish I knew if the video was embedded. I don't know, let me see. But let's show everybody. We're debating advancing because we're not sure if there's a video here or not. We don't want to surprise anybody before we're ready. No video? There is a video. Okay, thank you, Gabby. Okay. Perfect. Thank you. Yes. I'm George Mera, president and CEO of the Society for Science and executive publisher of Science News. Congratulations on participating in your local science fair. The society founded the International Science and Engineering Fair in 1950. Today, the Regeneron International Science and Engineering Fair is the largest pre-collegiate STEM competition in the world. We are proud to have built this fair over 70 years ago. When we began the National Science Fair, which is what the event was once called, it included only a handful of fairs. Today, we have over 400 affiliated science fairs that participate from 80 countries, regions, and territories. When I was in high school, I competed in science fairs and it changed my life. And I know it will do the same for you. I'm so proud of each and every young person who's competing today. You are poised to solve our world's most intractable problems. I wish everyone the best of luck.  I'm George Ann Cobblis, Regeneron's co-founder, president, and chief scientific officer. When I co-founded Regeneron, along with my business partner, Len Schleifer, more than 30 years ago, we had a clear vision to build a company driven by science, a company where the scientists were the heroes. Every day at Regeneron, we translate science into medicine. We use our homegrown technologies to discover and deliver life-transforming medicines that help people and change their lives. At Regeneron, we want to help find and inspire the next generation of scientific innovators. That's why we sponsored both the Regeneron Science Channel Search and Regeneron ISAF, in partnership with the Society for Science to help inspire, celebrate, and elevate young scientific superstructure. All the students here today are poised to be the scientific heroes of tomorrow. You may have the potential to find solutions to the existential threats we face today and the major challenges we will be facing in the future. Congratulations to all of the student researchers here today, and also to their teachers, their mentors, and their parents who supported them throughout this challenging year. And a big thank you to the fair directors, organizers, and volunteer judges who have made it possible for students to have the opportunity to compete at Regeneron ISAF. Finally, the moment we have been waiting for. I am honored to introduce the Regeneron ISAF finalists who have won the right to compete for awards and distinction in the largest high school STEM competition in the world. Good luck to all the students who will be competing in the Regeneron ISAF. Should we say they're all made afterwards? Do we have clearance to go? Okay, yes. If we call your name as a Regeneron ISAF finalist, come up and accept, I believe we have a packet for you, but please also, once we conclude this ceremony, don't leave, come up here because Ms. Day will want to speak with you. We have to collect some information for you. A photograph as well. There will be a photograph as well, but then come back after the photograph so that we can get some information from you and give you some instructions. Okay? Yes, shall I tell what it is? Go ahead. Okay, for those of you who do not know, attending ISAF this year would be one week in Los Angeles, California. It would be from May 12th. We would be returning on May 18th. So during COVID, I actually spent Mother's Day with my children. We always leave on Mother's Day, so you celebrate the day before. But it is an amazing week that is jam-packed and we will go into some of the details and preparations. We have a very short turnaround. We only have 12 days after our fair to get everything done. So that's why we will have to meet afterwards, but it's a life-changing experience. All right, our senior judges have awarded this finalist status to 12 projects this year. Starting with Siddharth Maravuda, for design, synthesis and testing of novel small molecule interleukin-6 inhibitors for the amelioration of inflammatory bowel disease. Next is Abhinav Maduri, for his work, Enhancing Lead Sequestration and Power Conversion Efficiency in Organic-Inorganic-Led Halide Parascovite Solar Cells via Alginate L-cysteine Biopolymer Encapsulation. Next is Jamie Zhang, Allergel and Inhalable Bioadhesive Microspheres to Prevent Particulate Matter-Induced CRDs and CRS. Our fourth finalist will be Abhishek Shah, Studio, a novel fully voice-controlled and configurable development environment for the visually impaired. Our fifth finalist is Maruthi Vimula, for Mitigating Information Asymmetry in Governmental Policies and AI-Driven Approach. Six finalists, Amy Unconquo, a genetically modifying wild-type K-12 E. Coli for the MTRC gene for production of cytochrome C and microbial fuel cell application. Next is Isabel Garcia, for developing a cost-effective alternative to treating small intestinal bacterial overgrowth or SIBO. Our next finalist is Sreja Apala, unraveling the complex interplay between immune cells and cancer progression utilizing a novel application of an artificial neural network. Next is Davin Tipton, for his work Analyzing the Effects of General Relativity on Hypervelocity Star Ejection Velocities. Our ninth finalist is Bianca Chan, for the work Identifying Inhibitors and Inducers of the Alternative Lengthening of Telomeres, Pathway Through the Development of a High-Throughfoot Phenotypic Screen. It came up before I wanted it to, but anyway, Preeti Shrut Kamal and Venkadan Vlada Moody. Our 11th finalist for Dynagrad, a novel gradient descent with adaptive dual learning rates and momenta for improved optimization and accelerated convergence in deep neural networks. I thought I wrote long titles to papers. And finally, William Fung, for a novel approach on determining aragonite saturation state through remote sensing and machine learning techniques. These are our Intel ISEF finalists. Congratulations. Just a quick photo, please. Thank you. Congratulations. As we're winding up today, a reminder please, Intel ISEF finalists do not leave before you come back and see Miss Day. We would also like to extend some thanks to some people and groups, especially for our exhibitors for being with us again this year. And we also would like to thank you for allowing us to spend time with you today. And we want to wish you good luck in all of your future endeavors. So at this time, I'd like to invite our co-director, Dr. Tom Williams, to come forward for some closing remarks. And thank you. Thank you, Dr. Graham. And I just wanna say, once again to each and every one of our students here today, we are so grateful to you for your thoughtfulness, your hard work, your perseverance, your innovative ideas, you're willing to take a risk, push yourselves, we want you to continue to do that. And we applaud you on all of your successes. We also wanna once again extend our thanks to NC State University for hosting us here so that we can have a facility large enough to have everybody in one place, under one gym to where the general public can come in and see the amazing work that students in North Carolina are doing in STEM research from grades three through 12. I hope each of you, as senior students had a chance to poke around and look at what the next generation of competition looks like. It's amazing the work that you're doing and students across the state. I would like to just give one round of applause to the host on the stage here who have been with us all year long. Congratulations, Judy, Harry, Eshaan, and Dr. Graham. Please have a safe travel home.  Thank you and we'll see you in March of 2025. Thank you.


To note, this call will be recorded for the purposes of training, maintaining accurate agency records, and assessing the provision of services. The recording will be retained and destroyed in accordance with the State Records Act, and relevant...  I don't have a claim number.  I didn't know it was at the debt collector. Guys, as per usual, oxy shred, we've got, like, half a scoop left. So that's 60 servings. And I think I probably bought it about 25 days ago. So that's just over two servings a day. Just before I start ringing people. I got to pay my first body corporate installment. Which is... 910 bucks.  My first body corporate payment was due on 17th of January. And it's the 19th of February. So that's great. Better pay that one. When I was driving my car back from South Australia back in July, I got a speeding fine. It was due about October last year. And I've now got an additional $268 with charges. So that's up to about 800 bucks. And I've got my own registration, which has just gone out. I've just realized that. And that is going to be another $415.   But actually, no, tell a lie. All my fines are always put on a payment plan. You know, I'd recommend that to anyone. If you don't think you're actually going to get off the fine, I'd recommend putting it on a payment plan. Because that's just dead money.   But we do it to ourselves, don't we? So we make it as good as possible. Best case scenario. As Rich Piano would say. There's two things that I have to pay, which is Red Joe and Body Corporate. And then I'm going to ring up the South Australian Fines Recovery Unit and get that put on a plan.  Because I've got a couple of fines here, too.   And let's get on to it. So hurdle number one. I don't have Microsoft Office.  Six months' registration in the box. All right, Body Corporate time. Please refer enclosed pamphlet for logon instructions. Right. Where's my pamphlet? Pamphlet. Pamphlet. The fuck? How to log in. Rocked. And, boys. Which is downstairs. I'll tell you one thing, guys. If I can afford it, I'm not going to go for another unit. I am going to try and get a freehold house so then I can not pay Body Corporate fees and also so I have free rein over the whole property, you know.  And, you know, those four things, you go and flip a house like that, that's just going to completely change the house. Completely. For, I don't know, $40,000, something like that. So I can't wait to flip my first property, which is the kind of property that I want to buy first.  So it doesn't look like paying late is actually going to get me any fees or anything. They haven't even asked me for it, to be honest. So if they're slack, maybe I should be slack. But no, I shouldn't be. So we're paying this now $910 for the first quarter. The next quarter should be due on the 17th of April for another $910.  Seriously, guys, this is a real danger of working too much and you forget what's important.  You just need that balance, you know? And I knew that today, having been a day off, I planned it all week. In fact, I planned it for most of my last days off in the last like two months. But whenever it comes, I wake up, I want to go to the gym, I smash that, then I start eating and then I just cannot be fucked doing it. My most productive time is right when I wake up. It really is. I don't know about you guys, but fuck, that's how it works for me.   So let's do that. As you can see, we've got quite a bit of a list here of all my expenses because I've got quite a few in my life at the moment. More than I thought. So I'd recommend anyone doing this, just writing everything down. It doesn't have to be a proper budget. We know how budgets work.  But to at least know how much money is actually coming out of your account each month.  So you definitely need to get that under control. So I've started now. I can't finish until I'm done. So Northern Territory Finds Department. Sorry, can you repeat that? My license has been suspended since 17th of August last year. Okay. $2,000. Wow.  But if I didn't sort it out now, it'd just get worse and worse. So my message to all you guys, if you've got bills, if you're procrastinating on things, man, and you've actually got the money there to pay it. Fuck, just pay it. Just pay it. It's going to make me so much less stressed. I hope. But now is actually the time for the one that I've been least looking forward to and the one that I've been procrastinating about the most, which is literally since I left New Zealand. So it's been six years since I actually sorted something out with this shit, which is my student loan for a degree that I never got. So you can imagine why I don't want to pay it.  Every time I... Though, I literally...   And it just sucks, because I never got my degree.  And maybe I won't be able to buy a second house, honestly.  But I'm not giving up. Wow.   No wonder.  Everything's sorted. Student loans sorted. I know exactly how much I'm paying my home loan, my personal loan, my gym memberships. I've got my two fines arrangements in place. I know when my next red joe's due. I know when my next body corporates due. I know when my next water bill's due. Telstra has a payment plan put on it.  Sorted for now. I was saying before that there's a difference between good and bad debt. I've got a lot of debt. I've got a lot of debt. But I have my car. I have my house. You know, I've got I've got material things that are needed. I probably spent a little bit too much money. So one thing I have decided is that that brand new $3,500 Mac is going straight for sale.  Don't need it. Don't want it. That's three grand sitting right there. And I need three grand right now.   Anyways, last job for the day before I actually go to the gym and have some fun is to sort out this bloody folder. So probably about a year ago I went through the same stage of sorting out everything, you know, I procrastinated so much. I had that one day off.  And since then I haven't done anything. So that was a year ago. So I've got this folder here.  All my documents. Everything from New Zealand.  So I've got quite a few things to add to this folder. Hopefully by the end of it it will all be nice and sorted again. So I don't have to worry about it for a while. But what I do have is this little spreadsheet here. So you know, I'm quite good on Excel. I like putting things on Excel. I like making spreadsheets so I can then look at it and it's got a complete overview of everything. I can literally see everything that's happening in my financial life right now, right in front of me.  And I was trying to remember it all. You're never ever going to remember it all. So that's why I let things slide. That's why I got into trouble. But we've sorted it out. And so, you're thinking that bills are you know, getting out of hand. Don't let them get to the debt collector. Okay? Ring them up first. Get a payment plan in place. You know, they work with you. They're a business. They want their money. They don't care if they're going to get it drip-fed to them. They want their money. And they're going to get it. So don't ignore it. Sort it out. Stop procrastinating. Hopefully I can take some of my own advice and stop procrastinating in the future. As you can see we've got all my receipts out.  Everything out. I'm sorting my life out.  You know, it's it's too much to be in here. It's got to be down there so I can look at it and think about it. So that's what we're doing now. And I actually just had a call from my bank manager. It was good timing. They called me now and I gave him a few few details about my expenses and things. And on Monday Friday today on Monday I'm going to go in there and present everything present my financial situation. And if I can't invest in something if I'm not in a position to invest in something then I will get some concrete numbers and some goals that I can then go away and start working on straight away because I know that regardless of all this shit the next thing I want to do financially is buy a second property. So that's the goal. And we are sorting my life out. So I'm really going to leave you guys now the video is titled Sorting My Life Out. I've done a bit of sorting today. It's been about three hours since I started this video. I'm feeling really, really good about it. I'm feeling more content now and once again I urge you to do the same thing. All it takes is a little bit of time and you'll get it done and you'll feel better for it. So peace out guys. See you in the next one. It's probably going to be the weigh-in on Sunday. Not sure when you'll be seeing this one but I'll be weighing myself Sunday. Another physique update. See how we're going. 10 weeks out. Peace.


No way you won't. Oh boy, that's a big one. What's going on guys, welcome to another video. This is the day after I caught my 10, my 9.6 pound, I say 10 pound, but I caught my personal best yesterday out here. Also had two fish, or about four and a half, five pounds and a lot of two and a half, you know, two pound fish. Had an amazing day yesterday. It's actually late right now. It's like 2.30, three o'clock. I just couldn't get out here this morning. You know, I was thinking about it and I was like, I couldn't. I was all tired yesterday. It was just crazy guys, but we're getting out here today. We're going to go have some fun, hopefully catch some more fish. And who knows, we might even hook another big one, but hope you guys enjoy this episode. Let's get onto the video. I'll call so many fish. Literally the weather I live for. Oh yeah, this weather's perfect. This is like 63 right now, just sunny. I'm going to do a great show today. Two pounder. Give him the liva. Here we go. What was that? Hear that? First fish, guys. Six minutes into the day. Beautiful fish on a spinnerbait. Shoot. There's number two guys, two minutes after that last one. Oh my god, it's watching me. Look at that. It's a pickerel. He doesn't make the cut. Right where you should be. Yeah, I see that little thing that looked crazy. It came right out from under the line. Tree? Not a little stump looking thing, see that? Remind me of another one. Pretty little fish. Actually, no, I get it, I get it. Is he big? I had dirty flashbacks. That's where I caught my 10 pounder. I thought he was huge, how he was running. Little stubby one, look at him. Charbait and buzzbait are the two that go on a crankbait in that one. When? Jesus Christ. Wait, when did I catch it? That was probably the biggest one. It felt big. Like a tube or anything? That's one bait that I have caught a fish on, but only a few times. That smallmouth? Isn't that TV show? Uh-uh, largemouth. Oh. Oh! That was close. It was a big one, too. You got it? Yeah. Did we get the net? No, I got it. I watched him eat it. That's the biggest one I think. Biggest one today, guys. Solid two and three quarters. Pretty fish. All right, guys, so yesterday was the first time I tried this primal spin by a fishhead spin. And you guys know, a fishhead spin is one of my favorite baits to be original. And I tried out their new primal series, this primal spin. I've been whacking them, guys. I mean, today, in the past hour, I whacked like seven or eight. She has a regular one. All right, as you can tell, both willow leaf. But this one is the primal series, so it's got the little leaf. So we're going to give it a try. Let's see if it actually makes a difference. Really hooked. Pretty fish. I don't think what I hit my boat on right there.  Oh my God. It rung my top, literally.  That was crazy. Listen to this, I was reeling it. You know how I'm like hitting the stumps with it? I hit it and he hit it so hard he started taking off at me. And then he spit it out. Or he didn't spit it out, pulled it out of his mouth. Look at this. He literally rang my top. I got my little nipple on top of my head. That was crazy. Here, you want a net? Oh my God, that's a good one. About three. Three? Yeah. Get a healthy one. Is it a bass? I don't really work there. Also, fishing healthy. Thank you. Is that a big one? Third fish in this area. This one's a little bigger. You went going nowhere. Another good one, guys. All right, guys. Here's our fish hearty release sum. Let's get a release on these bad boys. Some good ones right here. We're walking in the sky with some shooters. We jump inside of the view with you. Dug a half in the room. There's a couple choppers, a crucian, a guitar. When the music gets I'm alive and I use it.  I never lie, but the truth is I'm tired of these losers. And all my life want the food. And it's all the time in the juice. But I'd rather die than lose it. So I'm out of time for my losing and strategize with the movement of the movement. We're walking in a trap like a boss. Oh, are you non-driven with the stars?


Welcome back to the long and the short presented by trade station trade station is a leading fintech company and online broker providing an award-winning trading and investing experience with support education and tools to help you navigate the markets. Yes. Okay. Well, it's time for our original roundup on this Tuesday. Top stories in the industry are grabbing Wall Street's attention and we are going to break them all down. For sportswear apparel company Lululemon is scheduled to report fiscal and fourth quarter financial results Wednesday after the market closes. And with us now is Melissa Armo. She's the owner at the Stock Swoosh and Todd for its chief strategist at Bubba Trading. It's great to have you both with us. Good morning. Melissa, we'll start with you. Shares of this stock up 80% for the year you expect this earnings report to meet expectations. I think people are expecting that because the stocks have been doing so well. When you look at Alphaletic Apparel, again, we're going to talk about Nike. I mean, you say this stock has been doing fantastic. It's an enough trend. It's about $20 off the high or was it around 1.48 this morning previous high was last summer. It was around 1.64. If this stock gaps up on Wednesday after the earnings, I'm telling you, it's going to be a good solid long and could make new highs, but it may not. And if it doesn't, then it could fall because people are expecting that it's going to report well. Lululemon, one of those brands that has really been able to excel in its direct to consumer strategy and put pressure on its competitors in the space as well to also adapt to that kind of strategy. Todd, I want to get your thoughts around this as well. Lululemon, what are you expecting? What are you looking out for? Good morning. There's been some downgrades on Lululemon recently, but the stock itself looks really solid. It looks to me that they're pricing in not great earnings as we're at the bottom end of the recent range. However, it's holding up support real well. And if you take into consideration that they just a couple of analysts downgraded it like last night, the stock is still holding up really well at these prices. So I think almost no matter what happens, the stock will move higher. Now, again, I think that probably that will be a push and you can probably see some sun because it is a luxury brand from that space. So I think that from the earnings perspective, I would expect to see the stock move higher no matter what earnings are, unless it's a horrible miss. I don't expect that. And certainly the stock itself, based on the way it's trading, does not expect that either. Yeah, the stock hasn't been doing a heck of a whole lot over the past month or so. We can pull up a longer term stock chart on our trading platform here, a one year chart that still does show the nice gains that we've seen over the past 12 months. And so Melissa, when this company does report earnings, what are you going to be watching for? I want to just see it get up anywhere at all. I mean, really even 150, which is only $2 away from this morning is a nice buy because, again, it's not that far off the highs. And right now the market's bullish. And what you want to do if you're going to get long something is get long bullish stocks with a bullish market. That makes for good nice long-term place. But any gap down would be a negative for this, literally anywhere at all. So I would watch this. And as you were saying earlier, they've done a good job. It's about the lifestyle. Yeah. If you ever walk by those stores, it's yoga, it's exercise, it's athletic where you wear out just if you're walking and shopping. That's what they've made you want to buy their clothes, even though it's a little bit pricey, because you think, well, it's like the lifestyle. And they've done a good job with that. It's a different story than Nike where Nike was coming into, from a stock perspective at least, where Nike was coming into their last earnings report on an all-time high. And they were writing that. And you saw perhaps a bit of a sell-off there afterwards, also coupled with the fact that it was a mixed report and it was lackluster. Todd, comparing this to Nike and kind of pivoting a little bit more over to Nike, we've had a lot of headlines come out over the past 24 hours. But particularly with Nike, how do they continue to compete? And what are you looking out for from a stock and trading perspective as well? I think Nike's on a roll, and I think it continues to go higher. I think as a Michael Avanade, I think it's a bunch of garbage. And of course, there's always some smoke and fire where you hear these stories. And we've known this for years about college athletics and some of the payoffs that go on. But I think Michael Avanade's story is ridiculous. I think the stock is only going to benefit from just a lot more publicity, and it will bring in more buyers. The stock continues to move higher. It survived, but it didn't survive. It actually thrived on the Colin Kaepernick stories. And I think it's going to continue to go higher. I mean, look, they're still in that age group, the millennial group, especially. They're the number one secret. And of course, you've got great endorses behind it. I look for the stock to continue to move higher. I just think it's such a different story, though. Michael Avanade and the information that he may have had on Nike trying to extort them, that seems like it points more towards what we saw with the Adidas and college scandal play rather than Colin Kaepernick, where that was clearly trying to make sure that they were attacking and annexing their brand onto what was sure, some regarded as polarizing, but a very socially conscious move from Nike's perspective. Melissa, we were talking about this before we started the segment as well. Your thoughts on Avanade and Nike? It's very interesting. Only Michael Avanade would have the hubris to go after Nike, which is the most valuable apparel brand in the world, worth 32 billion. So the 20 million that he was trying to extort from them is about 6% of what he wanted to do. If you looked at some of the texts, they have them on tape. He said he wouldn't settle for a couple million. I don't know if you read that. I mean, only he would have the hubris to go after a company like this. I think that he potentially risked jail time. Not only that, but California is going after him because he submitted fraudulent loan documents and received a loan. I think that's even more dangerous than what happened with Nike. I think Nike stock is going to be fine, even though it got down, it fell like Friday really because of the market. But as far as Michael Avanade goes, I think he's looking for some serious jail time, more so because of the bank fraud than even the extortion with Nike, although I don't know the legalities of the extortion thing, but he submitted documents that he filed the tax return and paid, that he made 14 million with the company and paid 2 million taxes, and it turns out not only did he not pay 2 million, he didn't even file the return, and people's bank was who gave him the loan. Now people's bank and how it works when I used to do mortgages, when you apply for a loan, you fill out a form, it's called a 4506T. The bank is supposed to send it to the IRS to verify that the information that you sent for the returns is actually valid. Either they didn't do it or they did it after the fact. So what happens is say you submit a loan and you get a proof of the loan, you do the loan and the bank doesn't check the validity of what you reported for your income, that's a crime and the bank can call the note. And so now they've got California involved with this and I think that is even more serious than what's happened with Nike, although again, Nike did the right thing. I mean by going and reporting this, Nike could have hit it under the carpet, and they could have paid them something to keep them off, but I mean the guy put on Twitter that he was going to have this meeting. I mean this is what I'm saying, I mean what could they possibly expect, could come out of this, how could he possibly expect anything good to come out of this? And I think it's going to be very interesting, I don't think we've heard the end of Michael Avenatti, and I think it's going to be a lot of news to watch in the coming days of what's happened. Story Daniels came out and said she fired him a month ago and she said there's more to come. We're going to be talking about this a little bit more later in the show, but I think your point is such a good one, Melissa, right? The strongest brands out there in the entire country, the Nike brand, and the stock up today still near an all-time high.

Hello friends. I'm Sanjay Gupta. I welcome you on Sanjay Gupta Tech School. In this video, I'm going to demonstrate you about lookup relationship in Salesforce. Before starting, let me show you how you can search on YouTube, search my name. My channel will be there. You can follow it to watch various Salesforce related videos. Now, in this video, I'm going to demonstrate you about lookup relationships. So I'm searching for existing objects. So I'm going to create lookup relationship on employee. So lookup relationship can be created through a custom field so you can click on new to create a custom field. And here you can see the option is available as lookup relationship. So first understand this what lookup relationship is. So here you can read the description. It says creates a relationship that links this object to another object. So it means if you want to link two objects, then you can create lookup relationship. So we are going to create lookup relationship on employee and we can link it with another object. So in this demonstration, I'm going to link employee with account object. So whether it says the relationship field allows users to click on a lookup icon to select a value from a pop up list. So this lookup relationship will create a field and their lookup icon will be available. And if you click on that icon, the pop up list will appear and you can select the other object values as the other object is the source of the values in the list. So whenever you click on the lookup icon, it will show all the values or all the records that are available in the source object. So source object will be the account and a target will be the employee or you can say parent will be the account and child will be the employee. So now I'm going to create this lookup relationship field. I'm going to link it with account. So while creating employee record, we can select account as a lookup field value. So here API name will be account description and help text you can fill as per the requirement. Then this is the child relationship name that you can use. So you can read this help text the child relationship name is an internal reference and is used for integration purpose. Be careful when changing the child relationship name as it may affect existing integrations. So we will discuss about it in later videos. So let's not discuss it here because it is something different. Next is the option required. So if you want this field to be required while saving a particular record so you can check this checkbox. I'm making it unchecked because I don't want to make it require. Now, next is what to do if the lookup record is deleted. So whenever you are creating employee record, so you need to select account record for this lookup. So first thing what happens when you delete the selected account record. So there are two options. It will clear the value of this field. And second says, don't allow deletion of lookup record that's part of a lookup relationship. So if you choose second option, then you cannot delete the parent record that is part of this lookup relationship. If you choose the first option, then the parent can be deleted and the lookup relationship will be cleared out. Further it says you can't choose this option if you make this field required. So if we click on this option required, so you can see we cannot select this option. We will be having this option only because lookup field is required so it should have some value. So you cannot delete the parent record that is part of lookup relationship if it is checked. So right now I'm making it optional and selecting this option. Also, I'm not explaining lookup filter as of now. You can watch another video related to lookup filter to understand this. I'm making this field visible for all the profiles. Then it is saying, do you want to place this field or employee layout? Yes, I want. Now here it is asking for the related list.  So on account layouts, a related list will be added automatically if we check these checkboxes. So account object has four layouts and we want this employee related list to be available on all four layouts. So I'm making these checkboxes as true or leaving it as it is so that related list will be up here. Now I'm clicking on save. So this way we created lookup field. Here you can see lookup to account. So lookup to account is created. Now we can create the records. So I'm opening this employer tab. So right now there's no records. So I'm going to create new one. I have to fill employee ID. Then I'm selecting country as India. CTS Delhi. Designation sales manager. This is the data. So here you can see this is the lookup relationship. So lookup is looking up to account. This is the label and this is the lookup icon. So it will open a new window from where you can select the account records. So I'm selecting a particular account record test email account and clicking on save. So this way I created employer record and that is having lookup to account. And account test email ACC record is linked with this record. Right now if you want to open this one so you can right click and open this in new tab. So this is the account record that is linked with that employee record. And if you scroll it down so at the bottom you will see the related list. So this is the related list that is added automatically because we selected the checkbox while creating the lookup. So this is the employer record that is linked with this account. So count is the parent and this employee is working as a child. Right now we need to see what happens when we delete this account record. Right. So I'm going to delete this. So the account is deleted. Now I'm refreshing it. You will see the account lookup is automatically blank out. Right. This is because we selected the radio button. Yeah, this one we selected this one. What to do if the lookup record is deleted so lookup record that is the account is deleted. So it is clearing the value of this field. Right now I'm selecting this one. Don't allow deletion of the lookup record that's part of a lookup relationship. And I'm clicking on save. Now I'm clicking on edit clicking on lookup icon and selecting. Another account record and saving it. Right. So I selected this one opening. So this is open now if I try to delete this one. So it will throw an error. First, let's check related list. So this record is having the employer record as related. And also notice that you can also create new employee record from here also. You can click here and you can create another one. You can see account is by default populated here and I'm clicking on save. So this time that account will be having two related records. Here you can see six or seven. Right. And if we see employee so here two records are available. Now what happens when I delete this account record. So I'm clicking on delete clicking on OK. You will see an error message is available here. It is saying you attempt to delete Burlington Textiles Corporation of America could not be completed because it is associated with the following employees. If the following table is empty. It is because you do not have access to the record restricted in the tape. Right. So this is because we selected the second radio button. This one. So now I hope you understood the difference between these two. What happens when we delete the parent record. So if you select the first option then that can be deleted. If you select the second option then parent record cannot be deleted. Right. So this way look up relationship works in Salesforce. By default it is optional and you can also make it required by selecting this checkbox. So I hope you understood how look up relationship works in Salesforce.
