Item number, SCP-024, Object Class, Euclid. Special Containment Procedures. Due to its nature, SCP-024 cannot be moved to a secure location, so security measures must be placed on site. To conceal its location, five identical looking replicas have been erected around SCP-024. A tight security perimeter must be maintained around SCP-024's compound at all times, with separate security teams guarding SCP-024 and its replicas. None of the security teams, except for team leaders, will be informed of the location of SCP-024. SCP-024 must be secured with magnetically sealed blast doors and reinforced armored walls to prevent unauthorized entry. Under no circumstances can any security or research personnel enter SCP-024. Only D-Class personnel are allowed entry, and strictly for research purposes only. All researchers are to observe and experiment with SCP-024 from the Remote Observation Lab. Any personnel attempting to leave the Remote Observation Lab or enter SCP-024 without prior approval from a Level 4 researcher must be immediately apprehended, with termination authorized. Should containment be breached, or SCP-024's true nature compromised, then the entire compound must be destroyed via specialized demolition charges planted throughout the compound. Description. SCP-024 is an abandoned soundstage that was once owned by R- However, SCP-024 itself has been abandoned since 19... And it is unknown whether its special properties manifested before or after its abandonment. SCP-024 is located in the heart of... And was initially discovered when a group of teenage youths broke into the abandoned compound. The testimony of the lone winner when she turned herself into the police was enough to have Foundation Assets mobilized to contain SCP-024. Upon entering SCP-024, visitors are immediately greeted by an anonymous announcer who communicates via intercom and is able to hear and comprehend the voices of people within SCP-024. The announcer will inform the contestants that they are about to take part in a game show in which the winners will win fabulous prizes, but will also warn that the game will be extremely hazardous and that the losers will never leave SCP-024. It is at this point the announcer presents the choice of whether to stay or leave SCP-024. Contestants who accept will continue to participate in the game while those who decline are immediately expelled from SCP-024. Contestants that win the game or decline to participate may never enter SCP-024 again, as entry is denied by an impenetrable invisible barrier. It is then that the contestants are led to the actual game. The style, composition and appearance of the game always changes in every individual playthrough, but the game is always centered around a long, elaborate obstacle course that the contestants must navigate through. The rules also vary. Some playthroughs may only allow a single winner, while others encourage the creation of teams to win the game. More often than not, the obstacles seen in these games range from incredibly benign to extremely hazardous and life-threatening. As the contestants attempt to negotiate the course, the announcer will continually update their status and actively participate in the game, often giving advice, conversing with contestants and adding new rules. As the game progresses, the obstacles become significantly more dangerous and difficult to overcome, and it is not surprising to have the entire pool of contestants succumb to the rigors of the obstacle course. If such an event happens, the announcer will express sadness at the lack of a winner, and SCP-024 will shut down, resetting only when a new batch of contestants enter. Any attempts to break the rules, such as assaulting other contestants and deliberately bypassing obstacles, are met by extreme violence. The announcer will call out the offending contestant, who will be quickly and forcefully ejected from the course by Studio Guardians. These Studio Guardians will immediately materialize within SCP-024 when called upon by the announcer and disappear when not needed. The contestant will never be seen again. When a winner is declared, he or she will receive a random grand prize. Any contestants that have survived the course but failed to win are immediately declared losers by the announcer. The lights will switch off, and the winner will immediately appear outside of SCP-024 with his or her prize, while the losers completely disappear. However, the most mysterious aspect of SCP-024 is that after every game, a VHS tape or DVD will appear in the mailbox outside of SCP-024's main entrance. This recording is a complete record of the entire game that was previously played, even though winners have claimed that they have never seen any cameras or recording devices inside SCP-024. Also, more strangely, a live studio audience can be seen in the background, cheering on the contestants. Again, winners have claimed not to have seen a live studio audience while inside SCP-024. Addendum 1 So far, the list of prizes awarded to winners has included, but is not limited to, cash prizes, electronics, various consumer goods, cars, collectibles, full-paid vacations to various countries, data expunged. Close examination of these prizes have confirmed that they are completely genuine and possess no unusual abilities or characteristics whatsoever. There appears to be no consistent pattern for what the prizes will be. Addendum 2 In an attempt to track where the losers are taken, GPS locator beacons were planted on subjects D-124 through D-135, when group D-245 was sent into SCP-024. When the losers were taken away, all signals from the beacons were lost. Whether this is because the beacons were destroyed, or because the losers were taken to an area that cannot be located via GPS, is currently unknown. Addendum 3 The announcer living within SCP-024 appears to be sentient and aware of events that take place outside of the compound. During the test of group D-523, which consisted only of Dr. Brown, the announcer instead engaged in a conversation with Dr. Brown. Analysis of the conversations have shown that the majority of the subjects are centered around pop culture and information distributed through television, implying that SCP-024 somehow is able to access and interpret television signals. Cutting all power and signal lines, as well as removing any potential wireless receiving equipment on SCP-024, does not affect SCP-024 in any way. When it became clear that no other contestants would participate, the announcer kindly asked Dr. Brown to leave SCP-024, and suggested he return with more contestants. Addendum 4 The studio guardians that the announcer uses to enforce the rules vary in appearance every game, just like the course. If they appear, the guardians will always be dressed in a manner that matches with the theme of the obstacle course. The only common attributes all guardians share are the possession of humanoid appearance, ability to suddenly appear and disappear, superhuman strength, and face-concealing masks or headgear. However, winners have claimed that the guardians have no apparent shape or form inside SCP-024, instead appearing as huge shadowy figures that engulf the offender. Lesson complete.

What's going on guys? This is the 4pm update. Well look at that, huh? The market, the little engine that could, that did, that gave it up and then did it again. I think we're closing above the 4100. That's awesome.  It hit that 4100 about half past hour and the market wanted that higher price. That's awesome. The NDX up 1.68, the Q's up 1.61, got gold down a little bit. We got the dollar up a little bit. Let's see where Tesla closed Tesla closed right up 6% up. As an interesting day for the market, we'll see if it holds on Monday. You can never quite know. If this goes up to like 41.30, that's kind of like another level to look at. Let's take a look at Steel Dynamics. Give it up a little bit past few days. Let's see here. That is that. We got some good movement in the guy. Again, this is a nice little stock to hold. I talk about it every time. NVIDIA, I think the market views this guy as severely overvalued. This didn't even get included in JP Morgan's kind of look to good value companies. We'll see what holds regarding that. Let's see here. One of the quick things I wanted to touch on I didn't get to. One of them is Italy Bands Chat GPT. That's a new development. Italy's privacy regulators said there's no legal basis that justifies OpenAI's collection of mass storage of personal data to train it. Interesting, valid point, I suppose. Square, excuse me, Block came out and said that Hindenberg's report on them was ridiculous. They said that. Let's see here. Block disclosed that cash app users comprise 39 million unique social security numbers. That's 39 unique, excuse me, 39 million unique users in total and 44 million verified. I think that leaves something like 5 million unverified. Hindenberg comes back saying, well, you said in September 2022 that you had 80 million annual and transacting actives. What's up with that disparity? Block was still up. I don't know. I stay away from it. I don't think there's any basis for buying it right now, but I don't think it's going to get annihilated. I think Hindenberg was hoping. Guys, thank you so much for joining me. Have a wonderful weekend. Be safe and make sure you have a lot of fun. We'll see you Monday.


But so many of us are just missing it completely, Gary V says it best with. If you do not take social media seriously in 2024, it doesn't mean you're going to go out of business. It doesn't mean that you are bad. But you are absolutely missing out on opportunity to create your thing. The algorithm is now allowing creators to find their audience. He goes on to say the social graph was build a following and post. That's not how it works anymore. Today what we have is the interest graph, not the social graph. The interest graph is making something and the algorithm, the AI will find an audience of the billions of people on the platform. That's the insane opportunity. So let's break down the numbers. Let's look at eBay first. Now as of 2023 stats, they had 132 million active users. That's the lowest it's been since 2013. And for the foreseeable future, I can't see it changing. Pinterest. They have, and wait for it, 482 million active users. 80% of those discovered something on Pinterest. 90% of Pinterest users are in a shopping mindset. More than 25% of the time spent on Pinterest is spent shopping. 85% of users who've bought something based on pins or posts, they boast that over 51% of the entire US population has an account. Instagram. They've got 2.4 billion users. Facebook. They've got over 3 billion users. Now we have all seen how Facebook feeds are becoming more and more promotional boards for products and services. The whole internet is massively complex interwoven network of crossing data and most of them have a social share button, which means all of the platforms that have this are collecting data from our searches and then placing it in front of us with products that we may be interested in. On the activity we do over the internet. So let's look at the difference of potential buyers you are not getting access to by spending just a few minutes a day posting to your social platforms. So eBay has 132 million users. Now let's add up the potential audience of the other three platforms. Pinterest. 482 million users. Instagram. 4 billion users. Facebook. Over 3 billion users. That's a total of 5 billion, 882 million user accounts. So just by using the free social share button, you can reach more than 44 times the amount of potential buyers than eBay alone. And that's without spending a single penny. So the opportunity is already there for us. We just need to take advantage of it. Don't be scared of promoting on social platforms. If you bothered about it being on your feed, as far as Facebook's concerned, open a page. It doesn't interfere with your Facebook account with regards to Pinterest. It takes five minutes to set up, slap your logo up, put your banner on. Boom, you're done. It's that simple. The same with Instagram. And once you've done these and connected it to eBay accounts, which you can do within moments, when you go to post a product, a listing, you can throw it to all three at the same time. It flabbergasts me, it really does. It's just the option is there. Okay. It's not for everyone. I get it. And if you're happy with where things are with your account, fine. But if you're struggling, if you're frustrating and sitting there going, I can't get the traffic. Well, there's five and over five and a half billion options right there. All you got to do is link it up. If you want to grow your presence, build those links back to your listings to your store. It's right there and it's free for now. There will always be an aspect that's for free for sure. And there will probably be more promotional aspects like offsite ads where they charge you. You will probably have those options in a foreseeable future, but there will always be that free aspect of posting. It's up to you. If you want to grow your presence, if you want to grow your sales, if you want to grow your business, the tools are there. You just have to decide is it worth spending a bit more time, half an hour to set up the accounts, 10, 15 minutes a day to increase my potential audience by 44 times more than the entire eBay platform. Up to you guys. Anyway, I hope this was helpful. Subscribe, like, hit the share button.

Good morning today. I want to celebrate. I want to chat I want to announce the winners of my last giveaway and there are three winners and Because it's my birthday and well last week was my birthday and I turned 70 Timeless is going to be giving seven of my viewers a really really nice gift So and they're going to provide those Also, I'm going to tell you what this video was supposed to be every year on my birthday I do a special. Well, I kind of think it's special Sometimes I'll do a get ready with me one of my sisters asked me to do a get ready with me on My 70th birthday and I did it this morning and I used my iPhone 8 I think it is and And I can't get it off. I cannot get it from my phone to my computer And I should be able to so we'll see if we can get this from my phone to my computer But she wanted me to use some of my favorite makeup and I'm going to talk about that first And then I've got a lot of other things to talk about. I I don't do very bold eyeshadow looks I used to when I but now I'm just really a lot more comfortable wearing like this much eyeshadow Sometimes I do a little bit more sometimes I do a little less There are two eye shadow palettes that I have repurchased One of them is the tartlet the original tartlet. It's all matte And I think they still sell it and the other one is I think this is the romance palette From it cosmetics and here are the shades The green I have I think that's called tranquil. I have that on my lids I have poetic in my crease There's another one that I used I used a little bit of sweetness and I used a little bit of this transforming pearl and underneath my lashes I Did put some sweetness out you probably won't be able to see but there was one thing I did that I have never seen anybody do on YouTube But some of you that are my age or around my age Might remember this and I'm gonna go ahead and do it again all we learned about for makeup was from magazines by staring at the photos there was I Don't even know if there were any beauty books on how to I think I did have one. Maybe when I was in my 20s but what I learned is Don't darken from here all the way over that you need to to open your eyes You need to have some light here So I took this little tiny BK beauty brush and I put it in the lightest shade here and I'll do it and I just want to know if you all remember this and you put it right There and what that is supposed to do is open up your eye So that was my only really tip.  This is kind of like an old-fashioned face of the day This is from Lisa from BK beauty and this is confidence. I do like a this the shade a lot and because I just like a little bit of Clear gloss. I just always have liked that. I put a little gloss on my lips, but I've had this on I'd say Oh about two hours and my all-time favorite blush is from our glass and I have had this Oh, I don't know. I've had it probably four or five years And that's another reason to keep your brushes clean because you won't have any transfer of makeup That you'll brush on this and get what they call hard pan. So I mean mine's still in perfect condition But that's what I did today. Everything else was just my normal stuff.  So I would say it verbatim and the comment was Sorry, honey. It's obvious. You have had Botox around your eyes I've never had anything done never had a peel never had anything done But nobody had said anything like that to me in a while and I thought well I guess you know my skin's not looking that great because nobody's accused me of anything and I can honestly say At 70 I can't imagine ever having anything done. What would tempt me? I tell you what would tempt me, but I'm not gonna do it is Botox in my lips. No, not Botox What would tempt me is filler in my lips, but I'm not gonna do it I didn't say never but it's highly doubtful, but I'm just not into Anything else. I think I really do think it's exciting and interesting that there are so many you know even like chemical peels and There that are done in a spa or a doctor's office different kind of lasers I think that's all interesting, but it's just not for me. I don't even want to sit down long enough to get my fingernails polished I did get my hair highlighted and roots covered up She got kind of heavy on the highlights, but I do like it I'm just gonna keep doing what I've been doing in skin care And if I want to tweak it a little bit, I will and I'll let you know and to me. It's truly It's just kind of an experiment what you can do at home To keep your skin in the best condition possible and it's just kind of been a challenge and I've enjoyed it I don't know if I have shared this with you or not. I've been making videos since 2014 and I've got like I think 670 videos that are there and I hate to repeat myself, but now I can't even remember what I said way back in the day But my father I Really have I really was so fortunate to have two really good parents and on the Friday before my birthday He had gone to got new glasses went to a football game You know one of the tables that I had stripped and refinished he was a Marine for 13 years So he knew how to do just about anything and he liked to he liked the tongue oil finish But he used his bare fingertips to rub it in the heat from his fingertips So he did that that was a thing that he did for me was do the top of this table and I picked it up and The next morning. I got a phone call from him that he was in terrible pain went to the hospital on a Saturday and Anyway to make a long story short. He died on my 35th birthday and I've chosen to always think of it as a gift You know, what else can you do? He was 72 years old and I just wasn't ready for him to go But I you know, you have to kind of tell yourself and talk yourself into Accepting things and I just realized recently that I lived 35 years with my father and Now I've lived 35 years without him and I think about him every single day I think of my mother every single day and I do believe they are with me I believe it so my birthdays are kind of bittersweet. It is you know, it is what it is I loved reading your comments for my last video So many of you gave me such great sayings and I would say about 80% of them I was familiar with but some of you threw in some really good ones The nuns in school would tell us that singing is twice praying And I didn't hear that when I was kind of looking for that because sometimes like in bed after I've said my prayers a lot of times I'll sing I'll sing softly Jim can't hear me and He's got a good voice and I don't but I didn't hear that one, but I heard some great ones So if y'all want to read those wonderful sayings, I'm gonna put a link to my video up here. I know I spoke last time about Vocabulary just new words that Like gifted I these earrings were given to me for my birthday. I would say in the 90s They're still perfect this was given to me by Jim probably over 10 years ago and The this was that ad-abee chain. I don't know if you remember him This is from the 90s, but I still like him and I doubt if I'll ever get to put any more beads on it But I'm glad that I did get some of the bigger beads on the bottom But any of my jewelry that you ask about as a rule it is old I've had it forever, but anyway, I can't say they were gifted to me I'm just I just have maybe that's my age, but I'm not critical of anybody else's vocabulary I know that people are who they are, but it is funny how things kind of bug you I gotta tell you one more thing that I didn't mention that that's kind of bug me because I think it's I know it's laziness I don't know have any of you noticed how People especially younger people 40 and down 40 and yet a younger They drop the T in words They don't say important It's important They don't say button. They say button. I don't see how I mean that I Better be quiet Well, thankfully some workers pulled up so I'm gonna move on to the next subject It may get a little bit noisy And I am not changing my channel name I'm still gonna be Mariel and after 60 if there's anybody out there that remembers my original name when I started my channel Let me know below. I was the name of my channel was sensational after 60 Because life was sensational after 60 and it's sensational after 70 I'm gonna make sure that it is because it's all just in how we choose to think about things So I'm still gonna stay the same because I'm always gonna be after 60 Autumn is my very very very favorite time of the year. It is I'm just feel so blessed I love to get up and put on a sweater put on a jacket and I appreciate having all four seasons My favorite is autumn spring Winter and summer in that order and before I announce what the giveaway and what you need to do I want to announce my winners from last time. I put all of the names in random comment picker and I Put the word brush so any comment that had the word brush came up and here's what the person's gonna win It's the Angie hot and flashy brush set by BK beauty They gave this to me and I have enough brushes and I love her brushes and you can use it like this and bring it up It can kind of be a cup holder and then To zip it down and it's a good way to store your brushes. So the first name that came up it was Sonia Hubbard Congratulations, Sonia, and then I had two more $100 winners and those that's I provide that I always put back a certain percent of what I make from YouTube That's how I come up with that money for that If I didn't have viewers watching my channel using my links, I wouldn't make sense I just be talking to myself. So the first name that came up on the hundred dollars. It's Debbie Talbot Congratulations Debbie and the last name that came up was Jackie Norwood Congratulations Jackie You three need to leave a comment below and I'll let you know how to get back in touch with me Also, I hope you all know how to get your replies from me One of my viewers that I've known for a long time on my last video and she said because when I say I have a giveaway I cannot answer the Questions on the giveaway, but if you go to any other video if you ask me a question, I can get back to you Well, Lori has said in her comments. Why ask you a question twice And I guess you just hadn't had a chance to get back to me Well, I could look up I can search a person's name if I know the name and see the comment So I found both of the comments and I screen shot them And I happened to have her email because she had won a giveaway some time ago So I mean emailed her and pasted, you know my her question of my answer her question and my answer And so but she said she never did get the reply. So if you don't know how to get replies Go to YouTube and say how do I find my replies on YouTube? Well, I'm going now. I'm gonna talk about my giveaway on this video And it's from timeless.  I use and I love so Okay, since this is a giveaway, I can't reply go to any other video And I will get back to you whether it says I can or can't I can't get back to you Just I can't on a current giveaway. I'm gonna close this giveaway in three days I'm going to announce the winners in my next video and what I want you to say is in The sentence just tell me your favorite color. I That makes me happy my favorite color is pink always has been and probably always will be at this point It is all good. I want to thank everybody for being here for giving me a thumbs up for Watching my videos for sharing them with your friends. I appreciate it and I will see you in my next video and take care So I'm gonna announce the winner then Liking my and it did not a really really nice We'll get And I missed him it was and you can't afford to add beads to him anymore, but the whole


When working with polar coordinates, it's important to remember the trigonometric relationship that connects polar coordinates to Cartesian coordinates, aka rectangular coordinates. It's a trigonometric relationship because they're connected to each other by this typical right triangle diagram that we're going to see right here. Suppose we have a point P in the plane, let's call that point P, and let's call this point right here the origin, so we'll call it the zero vector, like so. What are rectangular coordinates? We'll remind ourselves that if we have a rectangular coordinate system, like x comma y here for P, what we're saying is you go along the horizontal x units and you go along the vertical y units, then you'll find the point P, that's the address you get there. But when it comes to polar coordinates, polar coordinates like r comma theta, well, r is the distance you go from the origin and theta is the angle that gives you that direction right here. So let's convert between polar coordinates and rectangular coordinates. This is the same strategy we used when we talked about vectors given algebraically or vertically, right? If you have some vector v, this is just the magnitude and the direction of the vector, and this would just be the horizontal component and the vertical component of the vector. If we want to think about it in terms of complex numbers, right? We have some complex number here z, then the hypotenuse is just the modulus of the complex number. This is just the argument of the complex number. This of z right there, this would be the real part. This would be the imaginary part. So by this time in trigonometry, this is just the third time we've seen this same conversion of coordinates, complex numbers. You have the Cartesian polar form of the complex numbers. That's actually why we call it the Cartesian and polar form of complex numbers, because it was suggestive of the rectangular and polar coordinates we eventually talked about. We have the geometric and the algebraic forms of vectors. That's just, oh, do we talk about vectors using polar coordinates, the trigonometric form, the geometric form? Or do we talk about vectors using the rectangular form, the Cartesian form, aka the algebraic form? All of those different formulas we saw are really the same formula. And so that's what we're going to use right now as we work with polar equations and Cartesian equations. It's important to remember that the radius here by the Pythagorean equation is r squared equals x squared plus y squared. You can solve for r by taking the square root of both sides, okay? But be aware that r could be positive or negative, so that's why it's better to kind of leave this formula just the Pythagorean relationship. If you need to figure out theta, well, you have tangent of theta is equal to y over x, just by the tangent ratio, like so. If you want to solve for theta, you can take arc tangent of both sides to get theta equals arc tangent of y over x. But I do prefer this formula right here because arc tangent will only give you the reference angle. You have to pay attention to quadrants to get the correct angle right there. So if you know the Cartesian coordinates, then you can switch to polar coordinates using these. But the other way around, x equals r cosine theta and y equals r sine theta. If you know the polar coordinates, you convert to Cartesian formulas using the cosine and sine ratio. So this is just so Catoa trigonometry. So imagine you have a polar equation r squared equals 25. How do you write this in rectangular or Cartesian coordinates? Well, the idea is you have to turn all of the r's into x's and y's. And to do that, you use the Pythagorean relationship. r squared is much better because this would then translate to become x squared plus y squared equals 25. And as we've seen before, this is a circle. This is the circle centered at the origin whose radius is 5. And so the polar equation r squared equals 25 are better yet. This is the same thing as just saying r equals 5. This linear polar equation is actually a circle. And this is sort of like the main thing about polar equations. Polar coordinates are more efficient at circles as opposed to the rectangular coordinate system, which are much better at lines and rectangles. Polar coordinates are actually called circular coordinates because of this observation here. Let's take one that's a little bit more involved. What if you have r squared equals 9 sine 2 theta? Well, the r squared's kind of easy enough. You could write that as x squared and y squared. But what do you do with this 9 sine 2 theta if we want to write this equation using only rectangular coordinates? Well, the conversion formulas we saw on the previous slide rely on theta, tangent theta, sine theta, cosine theta, not this 2 theta business. So in order to make that work, you're going to have to switch it to theta, in which case the double angle identity will be appropriate here. 9 sine 2 theta, this becomes 18 sine theta cosine theta. So that's how you deal with that. So what do you do with sine and cosine? Well, think of your trigonometry, right? Sine is equal to opposite over hypotenuse. So y over r, cosine theta is equal to x over r, adjacent over hypotenuse. So we make those substitutions.  Now that's somewhat not the direction we want. Let me amend that. It is the direction we want to go into, but we got rid of theta, but we still have r's. That's what I'm saying. We want just x's and y's. But that's not the end of the world here, 18 yx over r squared. Notice you have 2 r's, r times r's and r squared for which r squared we already know is x squared plus y squared. So you can write this as x squared plus y squared equals 18xy over x squared plus y squared. So this would then be the Cartesian equation we're looking for. Much more complicated than the polar form. You could also clear the denominators if you've done this a little bit differently. You could have had the equation x squared plus y squared, quantity squared is equal to 18xy. That would have also been an acceptable solution here. Now what we've done is we switched from the polar equation to the rectangular equation. Now I don't care if you can graph these things, we'll worry about that another time. Actually the next lecture we'll talk about graphing these things. This might be a little intimidating, but right now we're just practicing the conversion. How do you take a polar equation right in Cartesian coordinates? Basically it's these observations right here. Like so you can get rid of any sines and cosines. You can get rid of any tangents as well, tangent of theta. You get x over y, excuse me, y over x. And since every trigonometric function can be written with just sines and cosines or with a tangent too, you can get rid of all the thetas there. And if you have r's, use the Pythagorean equation and get rid of them. But what if we want to go the other direction? What if we have a Cartesian equation and we want to put it into polar form? Well, the trick here of course is that anytime you see an x, replace it with r cosine theta. And when you see a y, replace it with a r sine theta. So when you see that y on the right hand side, you're just going to replace that with r sine theta. And you can do that on the right hand side as well. You end up with an r squared cosine theta plus r sine squared theta as well. Cosine and sine are squared right there. You can factor out the r squareds, leaving cosine squared plus sine squared. And this is equal to r sine on the right. For which cosine squared plus sine squared is equal to one.  And honestly, I would have jumped here immediately because by the Pythagorean relationship, we know that x squared plus y squared equals r squared. We didn't have to go through this simplifying business because we actually knew that was going to be the case.  It might be tempting to divide both sides by r and get r equals sine theta. You might be like, oh, that's a simpler equation. For which one has to be cautious in that because you're only allowed to divide both sides by r if r is not equal to zero. So you're kind of assuming that r doesn't equal zero in this situation. For which r could equal zero if sine equals zero, for example. So it turns out the domain of this equation is actually bigger than this one. So really, try not to simplify the equation too much. We just want to convert the equation because, again, the domain for this one would be everything except for r equals zero while the domain of this one was actually good for anything. So be cautious of such a thing there. The proper equation should be r squared equals r sine theta. Let's look at one last example. Let's start or let's end this lecture here with the simplest Cartesian equation which actually forms somewhat of a complicated polar equation. Just take a line x plus y equals four. You might be more used to seeing it in slope intercept form y equals negative x plus four. But nonetheless, this is a linear equation. These are sort of like the simplest equations when it comes to Cartesian coordinates, but what are polar coordinates? Well the strategy we're going to employ is what we did on the previous slide here. X becomes r cosine theta, y becomes r sine theta, and this is equal to four. So in terms of conversion, it's not so horrible. But one thing I want you to kind of keep track of when you're working with these polar equations is why do we like the slope intercept form? What's the big deal, right? Well, it's because really we don't, I mean, while equations are great, we really love functions, functions are sort of king in an algebra setting. And for Cartesian functions, they have the formula y equals f of x, right? The y coordinate is some formula of the x coordinate. So we think of x as the input and y as the output. And so the reason why we're more accustomed to slope intercept form, because this has that format y equals f of x there, y equals negative x plus four. If I know the x coordinate, I compute the y coordinate directly. When it comes to polar equations, polar functions have the form r equals f of theta. And as we start graphing polar equations, we're gonna focus on polar functions next time, where theta is treated as this free variable that can be anything. And then r is then this dependent variable on your choice of theta. So can we solve for r in these equations, all right? That is our sort of ultimate goal when working with a polar equation. Now on the left hand side, there's not much to it, just factor out the r.  And to solve for r, you would get r equals four over cosine theta plus sine theta, like so. And so this would be the polar version, the polar function, which gives us a straight line. Seems very complicated in comparison, right? Cuz you have these trigonometric functions or a fraction of some kind. But this is the thing is polar functions, polar coordinates, are not well equipped to do lines. They can do it, like you see right here, but it's much more cumbersome. Rectangular coordinates are perfect for straight things, like rectangles and lines, flat things, maybe I should call it. Polar coordinates, on the other hand, are better for circular curve things, like circles, right? For which case this function, which gives us a flat line, is much more cumbersome. And this is the reason why we like polar coordinates, is they have advantages that Cartesian coordinates do not. And so while up to this moment, we've probably been used to Cartesian coordinates, that did us great when we were working on flat objects. As we want to think of more circular domains, not intervals, but circular domains, again, this will make much more sense in the next lecture. Polar functions become much more advantageous. And that's why we wanna study them in this lecture here. This actually does bring us to the end of our lecture here. In which case, thanks for watching.

What is up guys Karma Medic here and welcome back to another dose. If you're new to the channel, hi my name is Nasser and I'm now a fourth year medical student studying at King's College London. So why do I have all of these different tools and utensils in order to make coffee? Why make best so much money and time into making different types of coffee? And honestly that's just because coffee is the best. Let me walk you guys through a full day of what coffee drinking looks like for me starting from the morning, then the mid-morning, the afternoon, the evening, and then night time. So first things first, when I wake up in the morning I need a coffee and because it's still early in the morning I'm usually pretty tired. I'm like groggy. I don't want something that's gonna be really harsh and just like jolt me awake. I want to sort of ease into my day with a nice smooth cup of coffee and that's what this guy over here is for. This is the Nescafe Dolce Gusto Capsule Coffee Maker. My sister and I keep our coffee capsules over here. Right now we're drinking a lot of cappuccino coffees. There's all kinds of different capsules that you can buy for different types of coffee, like up here somewhere I think. Yeah, we've got some americano capsules as well. And you can get decaf coffees, flat whites, and everything else in between. But me and my sister, we found that these cappuccino capsules are the perfect fit for the morning coffee. Alright, so I'm gonna get to work and make two cups of coffee and I will be with you in a sec. You guys won't know this about me because I've never talked about it on the channel but I have a very serious aversion to foam. You know how people hate the sound of like nails on a chalkboard or the sound of two pieces of cutlery grinding together? That's exactly how I feel about the texture of foam in my mouth. And that's why every morning when I make this cappuccino, I use a little spoon to scoop off the foam from the top and get rid of it in the sink. Coffee delivery. Alright guys, so that's the cappuccino all done with. The next coffee that I want to talk about is French pressed coffee. Now this method of making coffee is an absolute game changer when it comes to making coffee for longer periods of time. As you can see here, this holds about one liter of water which equates to something like two, two and a half to three cups of coffee. So I can make this before I start studying in the morning and I can drink it continuously until the afternoon when it's lunchtime. The beautiful thing about this as well is that it takes very little effort to make. All you need is some boiled water and ground coffee and it can make multiple cups of coffee at the same time. Now having ground coffee is great. This is one of my favorites over here. As you can see, it's almost finished probably because I drink it every single day. But what's even better than buying ground coffee is actually grinding that coffee yourself. Now don't get me wrong, when I smell this, it smells really good. But there really is nothing like smelling freshly ground coffee. That's when the coffee is the freshest, that's when it tastes the best and yeah, it's the best way to make coffee if you can. So I've got two sets of coffee beans at the moment. This one is a lot darker, it's a lot heavier and stronger and since I'm going to be having a ton of coffee today, I'm going to go with this one. So after you've let the water absorb all of that coffee, you can press the French press down and your coffee is ready. Now about 1995% of the time, I like to have my coffee black. That's what I'm going to pour for myself.  I like it. You like it? Wait, would you still prefer it with nock? Let me try it with some milk. This is way more coffee than I normally drink. Yeah, we're going to have a lot of coffee today. I'm going to be buzzing. Coffee is really important because it needs to be strong enough to wake me up from that slumber that I'm in post lunch. And it also needs to be strong enough to last me throughout the next four hour period until 7pm. And that my friends is where Arabic coffee comes in. It is the strongest, it is the densest, it is the meanest of all of the coffees. Now because I'm Jordanian and I'm making Arabic coffee, I have got that good, good coffee straight from Jordan. Now this stuff, stuff over here, this is the good stuff. Every time I make my Arabic coffee, I kind of like freestyle it and I do things a little bit differently than the time before. So I'm going to call my mom to make sure I get the recipe right for this video. Ghandoul. Hi, how are you? How are you? Hi. Tell me how do you make Arabic coffee? How much coffee do you need? How much water, sugar, and how many times do you make it? Every time I make coffee, I put a lot of coffee in it. So I put it in. And you don't make it again, right? No, two times more. Two times more? But that's the next photo. Thank you, bye, bye. One, two. So before you actually add the coffee or the sugar, you need the water to heat up a little bit, because otherwise the coffee is not going to dissolve as easily. So we're going to do that now. So yeah, depending on how sweet you want it, you can either add more or less sugar, but I don't like it too sweet.  But without sugar, I find this coffee impossible to drink. It's so heavy and dense, you'll see. I'm going to add the two coffees now. There's two. Oh, so there's one boil. Then you take it off and you let it go back down and rest. Then you put it down again. You let it boil once more. And that's it. That's the Arabic coffee done. All right, now I am by no means an Arabic coffee expert, but that's how I make it and that's how I like it. Go along swiftly to our next type of coffee. We've got the mocha pop. Now, this has very quickly become probably my favorite method of making coffee, and that's simply because of how good it tastes. The coffee that comes out of this mocha pot is very smooth. It's not acidic at all, and it's just a great black coffee that doesn't taste jarring or bitter or strong. The only thing I don't like about the mocha pot is that it's a bit of a hassle to use. You kind of have to unscrew it. And then you have to fill this bottom portion with water. Then you place this on top. You fill the coffee in here.  And then you have to boil it for a specific amount of minutes. So you kind of have to set a timer to come back and turn it off. You can't just leave it unattended like this after you've poured your boiling water into it. So it's a little bit of a chore to make, but I think it makes a superior taste in coffee. So after you add the water, you put the ground coffee into this little basket thing here. Right, and there we go. So I've set a six minute timer and I will catch up with you guys in a bit. Coffee is done boiling. We also have special mugs for this mocha pop coffee. Wish me luck pouring this on camera and not making a mess. Stronger, but is easier to drink. I think it like tastes smoother for me. All right, we've got one more caffeine infused drink to make. All right, guys. And that brings us to our final method of ingesting caffeine, which is this like tea pot. I think it's called a teapot. Basically, every now and again, Nora and I will get sick of drinking coffee, probably because we drink so much. And so we need to switch to tea for a little while. But the normal teas that you get at the supermarket, this is my favorite one. It tastes really good and it's nice to have at night, but it definitely doesn't have as high of a caffeine content as I would like, as I would need when I'm doing long days of studying. And so for that purpose, I have this. Now, this tea is the good good of tea.  It's nowhere near as strong as coffee, but it still gives you that feeling of drinking something nice and warm that has caffeine in it. The nice thing about this teapot is that you can put it on this grill. Great thing here that has two candles and you can light the candles, which means it stays warm over very long periods of time. So this is a really great solution if you want to have something to drink throughout the day. For example, if you're doing a really long study session. All right, got it. Brew. It's that nice, lovely red brown color and it is ready for the Karma Twins taste test. Tea time. All right, guys, I think I'm going to wrap it up here. That is definitely the most caffeine that I've consumed in like a two hour period. I've made an absolute mess of my kitchen. We've got the coffee beans, coffee grinder, my unfinished tea that I just made, Turkish tea, mocha pot, tea pot beans, filter coffee, Arabic coffee, these empty mugs of coffee here. Cheeky little tripod sitting on the window, French press, camera tripod and spare batteries.  And then lastly, my other tripod sitting over here. So all right, guys, I'm going to start cleaning this up. There's definitely quite a bit of work to do here in the kitchen. But hopefully you guys have enjoyed this video. I know it's very different than the usual videos that I upload here on the channel, but I've had a lot of fun doing it and I hope you have had fun watching it as well. If you did enjoy this video, please do leave a like on it and don't forget to subscribe to my channel to see more content from me in the future. And that is it. I will see you guys in the next time. Peace. So good, so, so, so good. Wow, I genuinely feel like an energizer bunny right now. Just looking around, I feel like I'm in a heightened state of awareness. Had a bit too much coffee for sure.


In recovery from iron deficiency, you do still see microcytosis, except that it will be a diminishing or improving microcytosis. However, because you may not be sure at what point of recovery you're looking at the automated blood count, you ought to bear in mind again that when patients are responding to the iron supplementation, it takes a while for the majority of the cells to have the iron deficiency reversed. So in the same vein, there will be abnormalities in all the indices at the beginning. But then as the normal cells start increasing in number, then these subtle changes in distribution width will be followed by improvements in total hemoglobin size and reduction in the MCV, the mean cell volume. So it's the same kind of thinking on the way to severe iron deficiency and the same thinking out of severe iron deficiency to recovery.


Before I start I would like to say that I fully agree with Commissioner Siviniki. I'm also grateful that there is no draft here to mess up my hair. But she also mentioned something that Admirer Rickover said. And I agree with him but I must say that being a former professor and maybe the chairman agrees with me, I have a certain amount of fondness for academic reaction. Now the title of my speech is The Education of an Engineer in Policy Making. And something interesting happened. A member of my staff was having lunch with an attorney from the NRC and when the attorney heard the title of my speech he asked smilingly Can you really educate an engineer? That was a mistake on his part because now I feel free to tell lawyer jobs. So an engineer, a graduate student and a law student were having lunch. The engineer started peeling an orange. The law student asked, now if you were to give someone an orange, how would you go about doing it? The engineer replied, here is an orange. The law student said, no, no, no, no, that's not the way you do it. I would say consistent with all relevant statutes, I hereby give and convey to you all in singular my estate and interests, rights, claim, title and advantages, all in said orange, together with all the rind, juice, pulp and seeds and all rights to bite, cut, freeze and otherwise eat the same or give the same away with or without the pulp, juice, rind and seeds. Having dispensed with a lawyer job I can now begin with my education as a commissioner. I have now been a commissioner for almost three years. Before that I spent my whole career in academia first at UCLA and then at MIT. My appointment as a commissioner resulted in a major change in that blissful life. Today I will offer several observations on this change. Before I start though, I know that some of you view me as a commissioner who is always promoting the use of risk information in regulatory affairs. I'm going to promise something that may shock some of you. My objective here today is to get through the entire speech without mentioning PRA any further. I hope you appreciate how painful that is for me. I have found commission activities to be a fascinating combination of science, engineering, law, policy and stakeholder interaction. The commission as a collegial body formulates policies, develops regulations, issues orders to licensees and adjudicates legal matters.


Whether it's a political speech, an ad for a brand, or an influencer apology, people pride themselves on being hyper-aware of when manipulation is taking place. We feel like for the most part we've gotten good at picking up signs, language, environment, messaging, and methods that would seek to lead us to a response or control our behavior and decisions. But the truth is there's been a major blind spot. Viral social media churches. You know the types. People are either ignorant of this massive movement, or they're so immersed in it that they can't really see what's going on. What is going on right beneath our noses of the modern Christian church, I believe it's manipulation. Now obviously, I'm not saying that every popular church on social media or every mega-church is intentionally manipulating their people or manipulating them at all. And I'm not saying that every church that utilizes some of the methods that'll point out in this video is doing so out of a malicious intent or the intent to manipulate. They may very well just be following the trends, and yes they should be held accountable for that, but it is different. However, often, unfortunately, the results are the same. In this video, I'm going to point out four key practices that I've observed that I want you to be aware of when you're going to a new church or you see a social media video online that's going to help you discern things a little bit more clearly. First practice is overwhelming, overstimulating, and hyper-emotional worship. Now we need to distinguish between two things here. We need to distinguish between the method and the message. Now let's talk about the method first. Two things come to mind that I've observed personally is repetition and fatigue. Melodies, mantras, seemingly repeated endlessly with the combination of the overstimulation of lights, atmospheric haze, just everything that's going on, it can almost put you in a state of hypnosis. Now I do need to clarify. I don't think there's anything innately wrong with repetition. The scripture is full of repetition to get your attention. But what I'm talking about here ultimately is this intention to try to get the person to stop paying attention, basically. It's kind of the opposite in a way to put you in this space of just kind of emptying your mind and not really thinking about what you're saying because when you say something over and over and over and over and over again, it loses its meaning. Part of what we'll discover with this video is there's nothing necessarily wrong innately with a lot of things that I'm going to point out here. It's when they get out of hand that emotional manipulation can take place, whether inadvertently or intentionally. Now I do admit it's hard to draw hard and fast lines, especially when it comes to worship or repetition or how many times or how loud can it be or how many lights you have and all that kind of thing. I understand it's hard to draw a hard and fast line, but I do believe it exists and it's something that we should think about. It shouldn't just be something that, you know, okay, we can do whatever we want because it is the most entertaining or it's the most visually interesting because ultimately worship, when we get to the heart of it, the method is that you don't want to be so distracting that you lose focus on what is the main attraction. Who should be? God. You may very well have been in some of these environments and have walked away experiencing God's presence or feel like, oh man, I really felt the Lord close to me in those moments. Maybe in those moments you really did experience God in a close and personal way and if that's the case, that's awesome, but maybe just maybe you were overstimulated and exhausted and emotionally drained and that puts you in a vulnerable place where you felt like this deep experience. In a lot of ways, I think it's like the youth camp effect.  The next thing we need to focus on here is the message, which a lot of people would consider to be primary, even above the method. So when we think of the message in worship, we're thinking about the lyrics, are they testifying to who God is in praise of God, in confession of sin, or are they mainly focused on kind of my miracle power or my resurrection power that I have within myself and what I can do? Like these are the things that we got to be thinking about because who is the attention on with those songs? Is it about what I can do or what God has done? How often is the gospel clear and simple being preached within the songs that you're singing? Or are they only focusing on one aspect of the gospel or one aspect of the reality that we're living in? Because there's nothing wrong with a song that hones in on one part, whether that's our sin and needing repentance or forgiveness or truth or new creation in Christ and what that empowers us to be. But when all your songs that you're seeing are focused around one thing, that's all people are going to focus on. If it's just all about, man, what I can do now and like, man, I'm so, you know, I'll find victory. And I'm just going to push down every boundary because I am strong and I am powerful. Like if that's all your songs are about, right? And even if you kind of throw in God that it's all through God, you're kind of presenting that particular reality. You're not giving people a full orb of view of the gospel and the Bible in general. And I think that's so powerful. I've heard certain churches do this and I think this is really cool to have kind of a narrative to your music throughout the service to begin with kind of creation in the fall and to see our sin and rebellion and then repentance and faith and Jesus and him coming to die and seeing the gospel clear and simple and what that empowers us to do and the motivation and the empowerment of the church moving from that place. I think that's such a cool narrative to point out as opposed to honing into one block and just kind of only talking about that within your music. The second area where manipulation may be happening is something that I don't hear people refer to very often. But if you ever watch kind of a trendy church sermon, you'll see that there are people in kind of bleachers behind the pastor. So when you're in the audience, you see all these folks back there. And when the pastor is preaching pretty much everything that he says is getting a hearty amen, preach it. You know, it's this kind of verbal encouragement, this verbal affirmation. And ultimately, like I said before, there's nothing innately wrong with that. But when it's constant, when the pastor kind of gives off the weakest analogy that you've ever heard and you hear somebody say, oh my goodness. And then he starts dancing around, thinking that he came up with something that's super powerful even though it's not super deep. It begins to almost gaslight you into thinking that something's deeper than it really is. Like, wow, people are really reacting in a powerful way here. I guess I should feel the same way. And this is where kind of manipulation grounds its roots because you're seeing these people behind the pastor, they're front and center. And believe me, they're placed there so then you can see them. So you can see their reactions. And in a lot of ways, so you can mirror their reactions. You can quickly get lost in group think and lost in the hype in general. Man, everybody's getting riled up about this one analogy that the pastor doing and thinking it's so powerful. But then you're, you know, it takes you to take a couple of steps back and you're thinking, wait a minute, this doesn't really pan out. Maybe this isn't even according to the Bible. And you gotta be asking yourself, man, are people's Bibles open? Or are we just giving complete affirmation to whatever the pastor says? Look, yeah, I go to a Baptist church. It's not the most, you know, oh, amen pastor. Oh, yeah, preacher pastor kind of church. Like, I get it. It's a different cultural kind of deal. But at the same time, when it is so overblown that I've seen it on some of these churches web pages or some of the churches that I've attended in the times that I've looked for a church, it just becomes to this point where you're like, okay, this doesn't, this isn't authentic. This is just completely manufactured in order for us to kind of mirror these responses, which I just think is disingenuous. And maybe people don't know that they're doing this, but ultimately creating that culture of just complete endorsement of whatever the pastor's saying is dangerous to me. The third area where manipulation takes place, and it's probably the most obvious, is within the sermon. So many quote unquote sermons these days are just glorified TED talks. They're ultimately about me and how I can live a better life with biblical principles. Old Testament passages and stories become a tale of how I can overcome the Goliath in my life as opposed to Jesus being the greater David, the greater king, the greater defeater of our ultimate enemy, sin and death. The vast majority of what you'll see is topical sermons. Capacitor is having an issue that they want to address. There's nothing wrong with the topical sermon from time to time. But ultimately, if you're kind of popping around from place to place, hitting on what you think is most important, you're gonna miss some of the more challenging aspects of the scripture that should be addressed from the pulpit, but maybe, you know, it just doesn't fit in your sermon series or you know, we just don't get to that or that's not as popular. It gives you that flexibility to kind of only hone into the things that you think might get views or might get more attention as opposed to the other stuff that is a little less popular, but is equally important. And this is where manipulation is taking place here is because people think that they're being fed. People think that they're getting this really solid, you know, biblical framework and foundation, but ultimately they're just being fed milk or a pastor's hot take, something that would be good for a YouTube video or a TikTok or an Instagram reel, but now is just kind of converted into a sermon. Like there is a difference. There's a lot of good stuff that can be said and good life teaching that can be talked about and conversations that need to happen, but we need to recognize that church is something different. It's not just where the pastor spits off his hot take of the day, but rather is exegeting the scripture to tell us, help us understand what it says so we can be fed. They make you feel like they're going really deep, but ultimately what are they spurring you on towards? It's this moralistic, therapeutic deism, this kind of idea that God just kind of wants to make you feel good and make you live morally and so I wanna create a message that can help you do that and a lot of messages these days reflect that intent, but is that it? Is that all that God has for us? How often is the gospel actually being preached? How often are you talking about what Jesus has done and what ramifications that has for us today or is it all just, man, this is how you can have better relationships or this is how you can forgive this person? It's like, okay, that might be nice stuff to talk about, but if you don't get to the source of the solution, then what do we even have? And just referencing Jesus offhand isn't enough. The last area that I wanna talk about that I think is really problematic in terms of manipulation within the church is this idea of gaslighting you when you see a problem. Like I see this all the time. People will kind of come away from these churches and they'll say, yeah, there was kind of a lack of accountability and all of a sudden they'll be like, oh, there's not, there's just a bunch of haters. One of the clear examples of this more recently that I've seen is Michael Todd and he wore this T-shirt of his wife in a bikini and people got upset about it because they were like, hey, that's obviously inappropriate. Like even a non-Christian could see like, yeah, you're on stage at church and you have a T-shirt just very obviously of your wife in a bikini and for people that are watching, they don't even know it's your wife. So for all they know, it's just some random lady in a bikini on your shirt as you're trying to preach about Jesus. It's very questionable, right? Everyone would have questions. You wouldn't blame them for that. And yet Michael Todd comes on the next day or the next week and he says, oh, it's church people. I can't stand these church people. They're so uptight.  And we're like, oh wow, oh, like, I guess I'm in the wrong. Like we're being gaslit to think that we're crazy. Even though we point out something that everybody would point out. Now, this is not new with Michael Todd. There have been other pastors throughout the years that have been the vision casting leader. And in a lot of ways, they almost kind of speak for God within their church. That this is the direction they want to go. This is the decision that they're making. So everybody else just kind of conforms and they go along with it. And when they make a mistake, they maybe take accountability in some ways, but ultimately it's like, they're trying to change things up. They're trying to be edgy because they're trying to reach people and you're here just the Pharisee judging them. You can see it so clearly that it is just about the retention of power. And I think that's so dangerous when you have a church structure that's oriented that way. When a church grows so quickly based on a charismatic leader, as opposed to just kind of the solid biblical teaching that's coming out of it and people being attracted to the teaching as opposed to kind of this kind of charismatic person that's a personality or social media influencer that everyone wants to go to their church now because they do the coolest analogies or they have the coolest clothes or all those other things that aren't as important. You get in a tricky space when that's when people, why people are drawn that way. Because it gives people and that particular person an inflated ego or perspective of themselves. And I know how this is. Like I don't have a church, but I have a YouTube channel and you got to watch yourself to be like, oh, I have all these subscribers. So that means that I have really something to say or my word goes or I have authority in this issue. But for me, it's about like ultimately, I'm not perfect at this, but trying to recognize, no, I have a lot to learn. There's a lot of missteps that I can make here and I should be aware of when I do make those and to ask for forgiveness or take down videos and remove things that are incorrect and try to approach it in a humble way. I'm not saying I'm perfect at it, but it is a lot harder when all of a sudden you have thousands and thousands of people in front of you every week and they're listening and hanging on your every word. It can be really easy to just want to retain that power. For an overseer as God steward must be above reproach. He must not be arrogant or quick tempered or a drunkard or violent or greedy for gain. Now I feel like there's been a lot of bad news that has been shared in this video. A lot of downers, maybe a little depressed, you're seeing this in maybe churches that you've attended or things you watch online or things your friends watch online and you're kind of disappointed and discouraged in some ways. I do wanna let you know there is good news. God can draw a straight line with a crooked stick. People have said, hey, I've been positively impacted by these preachers, teachers or churches and I think that's great. God can do amazing things to broken vessels. That's what he's in the business of doing. Does that mean that we continue to approve all that these churches and these folks and these pastors are doing? Simply because a couple people have been positively impacted or maybe quite a few people have been positively impacted despite the error. No, it doesn't mean that we need to give our full approval. We can praise God that he does bring good out of bad situations. It is my hope though. It is my hope though that these churches would return or come to the first time to the simplicity of the gospel and that through that, their worship, their teaching, their culture would all be reformed. The truth is you can't manipulate people into the kingdom. You just can't. Your strategies and your methods are going to be for naught if you're not holding to the true gospel and so that is what we should value the most. Thanks so much for watching guys.

I'm Jared Lee. I'm the medical director for the Stem and Clinic in Aspen and also the medical director for Aspen High School. So we're doing pre-participation physicals with the Aspen High School students. Tia Wojkowski and I'm one of the physicians here in Aspen. We're volunteering to do the free physicals for the community so that they can participate in their sports for the year. Having them see the athletic trainers, our MD fellows, and then we're looking over everything and signing off on their health and getting them ready to participate in sports this fall. It's great to be able to provide these services to the community. I've talked to a lot of families that said it makes it really convenient for them to do it really quickly. So really appreciate all the volunteers that are here today. Talking to the athletes over here in the high school, getting to know them a little bit, however brief the exam may be, but it's a fun experience overall and we're happy to be here. Oh, it's great. I love seeing the parents and kids that I know, and being able to do this for them, there have been a lot of grateful parents and kids.


the founder and owner of the stocks. We should great to have you with us as always. So stocks you're closing third worst day here for the down three years prolonged global economic slowdown potentially. This is the fear that has been spreading through the markets today from the coronavirus spreading. Do you feel like as Nora had mentioned this is an ephemeral issue or that we will see prolonged period of these declines going forward? I think right now today everyone panicked. But when I look at the actual trading on the live day from the time we opened up 430 into the close the market held on really well. Now while it's truly opened down from Friday we gapped down pretty big this morning we didn't have a massive sell-off and I would say that's a good sign from markets. Markets are trying to stabilize or trying to hold up. I think between now and tomorrow morning it's very critical for the market. If we can gap up and open up virtually anywhere tomorrow and rally then this will be a short sell-off that will not last. Not that we wouldn't see another sell-off day from virus fears but that I don't think this is going to have the massive move down that some people are expecting. So aside from the coronavirus so there were already concerns from investors and analysts that tech is overbought for example. Is this a turning point? Do you think for investors to kind of realize the overvaluation of certain sectors or to your point do you think this is just kind of a one-day thing a one-day slide? I definitely don't think tech is overbought. I mean if you look at Apple, Apple had earnings didn't pop to make new highs in the earnings but really didn't have some blowout rally on the earnings. Apple is due for a nice rally. Apple is strong. Amazon had a blowout number in the earnings to think that Amazon is going to fall off a planet is crazy town to me. So do I think that tech is overblown? No I do not and when I look at everything in the market even the banks today which fell with the market everything seems very very strong. When you have a market that's continually making brand new all-time highs you can't expect the market to rally every day you can't expect new highs every week and we've got in that period where we've gotten complacent we believe that we're going to have new highs literally almost every week and that's not reality and the reality is that while we are down for the year for the calendar year for 2020 in the Dow from the open until today's closed we're only eight weeks into the year so that's really not that if it was May I'd have a different opinion but it's eight weeks into the year and actually we are not down in the year in the spot and we're not down in the year in the Nasdaq. Yeah absolutely I want to put a pause on this Melissa for a second because we are getting confirmation that Intuit will be acquiring credit karma. We had seen the Wall Street Journal come out with a story seven billion will be this deal cash and stock and expected to be neutral to accredit according to Intuit to their non-gap earnings per share. We're watching of course markets here close here on the day it has been really hard to look at how Intuit investors are looking at this especially because of the declines that we'd seen broadly speaking but we know that it's a significant acquisition for Intuit given that this would give the company much more data and many more customers as well for them to sell into with their tax services and products as well but this now coming out confirming the reports that we had seen here earlier in the day. All right so the purchase price we'll get to that. All right Melissa I think you're still back with us I don't know if you want to comment on this at all but I think it's a pretty big deal what do you think? Well I think the stock looks like a good buy if it gaps up tomorrow morning it's at five dollars here on that news if it opens right around the 20 period moving average tomorrow morning with the market this could be a good buy because again this is not that far off the highs the last brand new long-term high this stock made was in the last week over 306 so although it sounds expensive even buying in here around 292 where it's trading right now you know this could still rally and make a new high pretty quickly especially if it has some bullish moves in the market tomorrow with it as well and I'm seeing Shack just reported and Shack is tanking as we speak here right now this one's down wow is this tanking this is almost down 10 points yeah we'll hit on Shake Shack um actually you know let's hit on Shake Shack right now since you brought it up um I think one of the more shocking numbers that I'm seeing right here off the bat is the same sort of sales falling 3.6 percent we know that was a weak spot for Shake Shack in the last earnings report as well and gave investors a little bit of pause Melissa what do you think is the biggest takeaway here from Shake Shack and why are investors so nervous about that foot traffic especially for Shake Shack? Well when you look at the market again which has been so strong and you look at Shake Shack even in the last three four months since the prior earnings the one before this one back in November you see now this stock is nowhere near the highs this stock is not trading bullishly this stock looks like it's lower could even break 60 right now it's trading down around 67 last annual time highs on this was far far away back in august around 104 so I don't you know this no one's really been buying this in the last few months and when you have such a strong market and you have a stock that's down like this for this this really could have gone so easily up tonight on earnings just said even at 80 would have been a beautiful buy for this to run up but it isn't doing it this is tanking I would expect this lower to matter no matter what the market does yeah and I think the fact that same store sales you know as Nora mentioned at 3.6 percent decline is as really significant here what do we think are the reasons that the same store sales fell so significantly in a very important again holiday quarter we're still getting into the last innings here of the earnings season for the fourth quarter I mean you're supposed to be going to the mall during the holiday shopping season you're supposed to be eating at the mall you're supposed to be having some snacks as you're at holiday shopping and this was a pretty disappointing 3.6 percent decline I don't know in New York people love Shake Shack I don't know if you've ever been to the yeah I mean there's like a line around the block which the first time I went there I thought was hilarious so if you're in New York City you love Shake Shack people go there like 24 hours a day but the reality is that most people now are trying to eat healthy I mean when you look at Beyond Meat and you look at Shake Shack Shake Shack has to do something to start they have to offer some kind of product here now I think to compete that's going to put them in a different arena to improve things I don't know what that is you know but I will tell you that when you look at Beyond Meat and then you look at a Shake Shack you say okay people are gravitating more towards not eating meat personally I like meat and again people in New York City love their Shake Shack hamburgers and but but for for the sales to be this way is not good and they need new marketing or some new products yeah they're also trying to leverage delivery more creating a partnership with Grubhub using Grubhub as their exclusive delivery partner but taking a look at some of these results more specifically on earnings they did beat expectations coming in at 6 cents per share but then on revenue that was a slight miss 151 million versus 153 million expected as they're investing more in delivery which we know is lower margin it's going to cost them more to deliver your burger to your door than for you to go into the store and pick it up what number what metric are investors going to be more focused on if we're seeing this weakness in same store sales maybe their maybe management is relying on that delivery number to tick up which also could eat into margins as well so what should investors be looking towards I don't think necessarily everybody using delivery services people think of pizza for getting delivery people don't always think of delivery again if you live in a metropolitan city like New York Los Angeles you might do a lot of the delivery services but that is not going to make or break your numbers you've got to have across the board people using the delivery service all across the country and I just don't think we're living in a society where you see that necessarily people like the drive-ups they like the drive-up windows and for delivery they like pizza and again like you said there's an added cost to having it deliver it and right now people are they don't see what's special you know Starbucks Starbucks is like oh there's something special to the coffees that's why people pay more for shape shop they need something special that's what that's where there has to be some kind of thing that makes it exciting some kind of marketing thing or some kind of stick like a commercial like with a peloton a peloton earlier it's peloton peloton peloton at night without saying a peloton commercial yeah shake better marketing full stop right it's as you mentioned though people who like it like it they know what they know what the portobello you know sandwich etc uh hp i want to get to this really quickly the company coming in with adjusted earnings here of 65 a cents a share also announcing 15 billion dollars in a repurchase program for the company which is absolutely huge earnings coming in as i mentioned 65 cents adjusted and then revenue on the top line coming here in line with expectations 14.6 billion the estimated was 16.63 billion now i will say this is lower than what they had seen in the prior year which was 14.7 billion in terms of revenue here for hp let's go check on how hp shares are doing after hours here on this a bit of a you know i would say a pretty decent report um the company also saying they're reaching out to xerox to explore if this combination creates more value we know that xerox had tried to at least put out a hostile bid for that right now melissa what's hp doing right now after hours and what do you see for this company going forward i think right now hp is up and a lot of bottom feeders might want to be buying this here on the dip here and now it's rallying today but looking over all the stock and the look of the stock to get a more technical analysis person the stock is still in the downtrend the previous highs in this were 10 years ago back in 2010 this stock is a long way from being a buy to me it might rally tomorrow for market rallies but i wouldn't go along this tomorrow without the market this is a long long long way to go and this this still might have some kind of takeover that might occur in it in the next 12 to 24 months i don't i don't think today's earnings and this rallying here right now tonight is going to save this chart yeah we're seeing some opposing factors for hp overall and on the one hand there's a relative strength in the commercial pc market they're a big player they're only second uh to lenovo when it comes to pc vendors regional strength as well but then some weakness in the printing business for example um especially for the home market hope i mentioned uh this this partnership that they had been discussing with xerox are reaching out to xerox to explore if there is a combination that creates value for shareholders as additive to strategic their financial plan do you think consolidation in this space is going would potentially be good for hpm xerox and to overcome those challenges of trying to get in market share some of the other players in the space i think it would be good for both companies for the consolidation i mean again you have so many different companies out there competing and again if you're if you're if you're using these products and services you're competing against the microsoft's the adobe's you're you have such big competitors now that's one of the reasons the stock has been almost in freefall for the last ten years you've got even even best buy you could even count them i mean when when you have uh retail out there selling different products like this at cheap prices and again there's no innovation going on here and that's where a partnership could really a good partnership a strong partnership can help a company like this because it helps them to innovate and also tighten up then on expenses because obviously this this company has taken a loss i didn't see you here exactly what these earnings said but this isn't exactly what i'd say would be a blowout earnings it's a slight rally up but it's got a long way to go i wouldn't i wouldn't buy back in this stock until it gets over 35 and the chances of that happening even in 2020 are slim to none without some kind of some kind of takeover or our combination deal that could happen right and and some have said that you know obviously these are two weak companies trying to come together and make something out of you know what are both declining businesses uh you know it's a wonder what they could do together and a potential quote unquote synergies as these companies like to say um all the time okay great stuff uh melissa still just recap here we got the final news coming from into it they will be buying now credit karma shake shack uh you know really disappointing with their earnings coming out uh and then HP which on the result side of things are pretty decent but nothing really to write home about that's right all right we're going to leave it there with melissa let's armors the founder and owner of the stock swoosh


sales area, we could see that under customers and Eric music, where's Eric music, that internally if they contacted us, we could see clearly what is happening. We're like, yeah, there's the 200 credit balance that was created from an estimate. I can apply that to a future purchase. So that's great internally. But it's not exactly right from a financial statement reporting basis. So we let QuickBooks do it this way from the bookkeeping perspective. And then we just said, Hey, look, if I need to do an adjusting entry at the end of the year, I'll do an adjusting entry. And I'll just basically increase the accounts receivable by whatever customers have a negative balances to it, and put the other side into the unearned revenue account. So it's proper for reporting purposes, noting that this is not exactly the type of adjusting entry you see in a book problem. In a book problem, but usually the issue is that all the revenue is going into unearned revenue. And then you need to determine how much of the revenue has been earned by determining how many newspapers have been provided. Usually on a monthly basis, right, you actually deliver the paper or you deliver the magazine or deliver the application, and then you decrease the unearned revenue recording the other side to revenue as it has been earned. With QuickBooks, you might have that similar kind of problem. You can you could still have that issue, but you might actually be able to automate that to some degree. Because if you if you get paid in advance in a subscription model, you might be able to then assign automatic invoices to apply to that payment to happen on a monthly basis, so that it will it will then decrease either accounts receivable or possibly unearned revenue, depending on how you set it up, you know, on a monthly basis. So that issue is still kind of an issue, but it might not be something that you need to do in the adjusting entry, you might actually be able to automate that as part of your accounting process. We have another course or presentation on that or if you want to look at that in more detail. But this is also an issue that comes up a lot of the times, and that's this negative receivable also realized that these two accounts that were impacted with this adjusting entry are not classically adjusting entry things because both accounts are on the balance sheet. Usually adjusting entries have a timing issue, one of the accounts being an income statement account, the income statement account having to do with the timing. In this case, we have the classification of a negative accounts receivable versus a positive liability.  And there's no impact on the profit and loss. And if you're just doing a Schedule C for tax preparation, you might not need to do the adjusting entry. You might be able to get the benefits of having a negative receivable. It's probably not going to mess up your internal decision making process. And you don't need to do an adjusting entry if you're just doing a Schedule C because you don't need it for taxes and you're not doing any external reporting. If you are doing a more advanced tax return or a more complicated tax return like a Schedule C or a partnership, then you might need to do the adjusting entry. If you do an external reporting for a loan, bank audit, then you would think you might need to do adjusting entry in this case. So that's what we did. We increased this one. If I go into it, we did an adjusting entry. And if I drill down on it, it looks like this. And so there it is, noting that I had to record a name to the accounts receivable account because QuickBooks will not let us post it without a name because they're trying to force us to have a subledger for accounts receivable broken out by customer that will still match and tie out to the amount on the balance sheet. So we're going to have to deal with that. And so that's going to be one of the issues that we will deal with. Now we have to do a reversing entry for this one because the idea here is that the bookkeeping side of things is great. So I want to keep the bookkeeping side the way it is. But I want to adjust it for external reporting purposes, which we did here. And then I want to get back to where we were before after.  We lose the audit trail. Also note internally that if I go into my customer over here, we created a new customer and we put it down here in ZZZ. Your options, whenever doing an adjusting entry for accounts receivable with a journal entry instead of using forms like an invoice or a payment form are that you could create another accounts receivable account that's an accounts receivable adjusting entry so that you don't mess up the accounts receivable at all. But you can't make it an accounts receivable type of account because then it will still have a sub ledger. So you could make an other current asset called accounts receivable adjusting entry. And that way you won't mess up the sub ledger at all. And you'll have an account just for your adjusting entries. Or you could use the accounts receivable and then add a customer but possibly create a new customer such as we did ZZZ customer so that it will be at the bottom of the list. So all the ugliness from journal entries in the sub ledger will be in that area instead of in the actual customer detail. Or you can enter the transactions in the actual customer detail assigning it to the customer that that has the issue noting that you're going to have some messiness in the detail. So let me show you what that looks like in ZZZ. Here's kind of the detail we had we entered this journal entry into ZZZ customer. So that's kind of ugly because it because an increase is usually an invoice. That's why I made it into another customer. Let's reverse the transaction and I'll show you what that looks what that looks like. So I'm going to go to the balance sheet. I'm going to right click on the balance sheet and duplicate it so I can get back into that journal entry by drilling down on the journal entry. So I'm going to pull that to the left close up the hand boogie. I'm going to drill down on the accounts receivable for February and then I'm going to go into that 450 the journal entry. I'm just drilling down to get to the journal entry because QuickBooks has this cool tool of reversing it. So if I just reverse this one it'll take all of the accounts and do the opposite making the debits credits and the credits debits which is exactly what we want with a reversing entry. So I'm just going to say reverse it. It changed the date to 3-1 has a new entry
