Hello and welcome to our webinar entitled Open Sciences Across Geographies, Speaker Series with our Chinese Open Science Network for CUSN. My name is Daniel Stieger. I am the Technical Community Manager here for the Center for Open Science. I'm joined today by members from the Chinese Open Science Network and their esteemed experts on open science for Chinese researchers. The goal of this webinar is to provide insights into open science or what open science is like for Chinese researchers, both in English and then again in Chinese. This webinar will be the first of two webinars. The second webinar will be held on Saturday, June 17th at 1800 Eastern Time. It will contain the same presentation but it'll be hosted entirely in Chinese. Quick introduction, the Center for Open Science is a nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting open science practices in research. As part of COS's theory of change, we have efforts and programming striving to make lasting changes in open science practices all the way from the government and policy levels to our research platform, the Open Science Framework, the OSF. Is that this time? I'd like to turn it over to my co-host, Dr. Yu Fang Yang, who will introduce the format of this webinar. Hi, I'm Yu Fang Yang. So welcome everyone. So this is approximately 30 minutes webinar now we'll cover the following talking points. So we have a seven minutes talk on introduction to Chinese Open Science Network by Dr. Qin of Vincent Wang. Then we will have a seven minute talk on open science perspective on Chinese researcher in published by Dr. Qin Nanzhou. And finally, we will have then a seven minute talk by Yu Wei Gao on the Open Science from the government and policy perspective. And then lastly, we will end with a question and answer Q&A sessions. So please add the question into the chat and then we will select the questions to our speakers during the Q&A sessions. And there is at least point, I would like to turn it over to our first speaker, Dr. Wang. So thank you, Dr. Wang. So do you want to get started with your first talk? Thank you, Yu Fang. Thank you for introduction. Can you hear me? No? Yes, we can hear you. Perfect. Okay, okay. So thank you for the invitation.  So let's get started. So when we're looking at the open science community, they have a lot of like open science organizations like reproducibility network, reproducibility or an open science grassroots networks. We also have like large organizations of open science organizations like we have ambassadors of Center for Open Science and we have a lot of members there. When we're looking at the, where do they come from? Most of the time, what we say is that developed countries, the like US, the European countries like Germany, UK and also Canada and Australia but we seldom see any like developing countries, especially the countries from Latin American, from Eastern world or even from like North Africa. So here is just a summary of the nationality of the open science organizations. So if you would like to see where China is, I put the border of China in the yellow color. So we can only say like in the small corner, China appears in an ambassador of Center for Open Science for the members of SIPs, nothing. And for the reproducibility network, still nothing. So what we see from here is currently the open science communities are mainly as a contribution from the Western educated all the developed countries. We are still need more like contributions from the developing world. So that's why we are trying to build the Chinese open science network from grassroots to give more voice to the open science world that even with a lot of limitations in developing countries we're lacking of funding, we're lacking of support from the government and from everywhere but we're still trying to spread the word that open science is the right way to do science. So let's look at how we grow up. So since the very early paper about the reproducibility crisis, especially the science paper in 2015, all the researchers, especially in psychology are really astonished because we are really not able to reproduce our previous research results. It's really bad. So everybody is astonished and among them, one person called Hu Chunfeng who is a PhD student in China and he believes this is a very important message and he just writes a Chinese paper describing the reproducibility crisis and open science and all the concepts and introduce open science introduce open science to the Chinese community and a screenshot of the paper is on the right corner of this slide. After that, we started organizing small workshops. It's just like a small workshop organized by two or three or like 10 students who are interested in open science who are really curious about how to do better science and we successfully have our first offline webinar in Xi'an in 2016. After that, we believe that we really need to spread the world to the whole Chinese community and we started our WeChat official account. WeChat is a mobile app. It's like the combination of WhatsApp and Twitter and Facebook. You can have all your contacts in the list. You can create groups. You can also share photos or documents or a lot of other posts like short Twitter. You can share all this media with your friends and in the groups. So that's what most of the Chinese people use for like instant messaging. After that, we started to think about the things we can do to really promote open science. So we started with doing translation. We already saw that there are a lot of interesting papers regarding open science. For example, the 2015 referendum crisis paper, we started translating these papers and translated into Chinese and created a post. It's just like created a Twitter content with the translation and shared with all the Chinese students and the Chinese PIs. And gradually, we started to organize our second offline workshop and then the third one. So until 2019, the epidemic came. We're locked down. We're no longer able to organize offline or onsite workshops that we have to meet virtually. And I joined CELICEN since then because before epidemic, the main things we're doing is like first translate the important papers regarding open science into Chinese and the second thing is we're organizing like journal clubs. We find good paper and we share the perspectives and among the CELICEN members. So since the epidemic came, we need to organize all the events online and we're starting to think why not organize a little bit more events like the tutorials because part of the reason for the referendum crisis is the wrong way of using statistical methods and wrong way of interpreting these results. So we started by organizing tutorials related to like power analysis and Bayesian methods and then maybe we extend the tutorials to the most recent events in like newer imaging methods and all the EEG and MEG methods and tour boxes. And the fact that we have been doing is open talks we're inviting the authors from the like most recent and heated papers, like the most recent paper in about the most recent paper about the like Chinese version of a human connect home project, we invited the authors the first author and they give us the introduction about how they collect the data, how they make the protocol and how they're going to share their data. That's attracted a lot of interest from all the like students and also the early career recenters. And apart from all these like formal academic events we're also organizing very like Cairo events. Cairo events, it's mainly like we make these events mainly like on the holidays. For example, we are organizing the like Christmas events and we call it the open plus. It's very inviting the people who moved from industry to academia and also some professors from academia to industry and very invited them to share their ideas why they're moving from one area to the other and what are their suggestions for our students and for all the postdocs. And until 2021, we have never first like steering committee meeting because before that we're mainly like working in one which a group we organize everything together. Everybody's involved and we don't have a like clear responsibility for everyone. We do things together it's just like this organized but with the accumulation of more events and the more people to manage when you need a better like optimized administration structure. So until the early this year we're having to 23,000 subscribers. I've checked this number like several days ago. It's now we are having 25,000 subs subscriber in our like official which a group. They also have never Twitter accounts to like broadcast never events activities and sometimes like recruiting PhD students and these sort of things. So we record most of our activities and the shares they are recordings while another like streaming platform is called the Billy Billy's because this platform allows us to share all these videos without forcing people to watch their advertisements. So, yeah, then this is our current structure. So this is the example of how we met the post and this is the social media we're using and this is the number of reads on our event posts and these are numbers we have organized. So the most read open talks open transfer is read and the one is a face stimulus and talk lecture. That's the translation of the resources regarding like how to make fixed stimulation like programs and the tools you can use for that purposes. And here I'll see some other interesting thing like this is a p-value of sea and power. This is about, this is here in our open minds and et cetera. So the experiences we learned from like building steel as from a small like special interest group is that. So first of all, be bold and optimistic even though we're facing a lot of like challenges and barriers, we're lacking of funding we're lacking of support, but be bold and optimistic. We can always seek help from other, from other like from the other open science organizations and also be connected, always ask help from other open science organizations and for the person who is really affordable like promoting open science, they're gonna definitely help you and be practical. This is important because we need to make sure that our the academic activities and all these events are really helpful for our audience and to be visible, try to like make, try to put your contributions and make everything documented and recorded and that's gonna be like one, and this is one line of your CV, which is like it says you really done something to make research better. So be affordable and be local. This is important because you need to balance the time you spend on promoting open science and also the time you spend on your real research and this is important. And the COS's next plan is continuing our support for the Chinese speaking community to increase open science and make contribution to the international communities like we work, we can work with COS to like to do some translations and to transport the knowledge from the Chinese language to the English language and also from the international open science world to the Chinese community. And we are optimizing our current organizational structure to survive better because we really need to balance the time, especially when most of us just went from PhD or a master's student to early career researchers, we need to manage a lot of things at the same time. And we're gonna continue improving our opens science events like the open full pass events. And we need to organize and manage the materials we already created and make them more easily accessible to our audience. And we plan to support like regional wise grassroots networks within and outside of China. So if you would like to build your local open science networks, we are happy to help always. And one important thing is, since I think has grown, has grown, so we are trying to find our best to help to not only like promote open science, but also really helps those reason charts to do better science. So we're trying to work with other open science organizations like BrainHack, OFBM BrainHack and all the other, some other open science organizations to organize like the hack songs and all these sort of events. And we are happy to reach out to other like open science organizations to apply for the financial support or fund together to make life easier for open science. So still we are, we need to do a lot of things to make the, to cut with the open science research environment. For example, we really need the help from the like, from the top level of like from the government and from the funding agency and also from the publishing companies we need the support from them. And also we need to remember that developing countries and developed countries are different. And also we should really break the gap between all these differences including the, including promoting like equality, diversity and a global open science. And also the recent years, we heard the recent years from developing countries and especially the under representative groups make wise themselves and they're always help, we're always ready to help. And what we do here with everyone together is to pass on the spirit of open science to the students and to the ECRs so that we're having a real open science future. So thank you for your time. So it's a bit of a thank you. Yeah, thanks for the great talk, Dr. Wong. So don't forget to, you have any questions, feel free to add them to the Q and the eight and just let you know to this station that we're running now. So we actually have a webinar as we called it. So we will post this later if you can ask that longer. So last, last welcome for our next speaker is Dr. Zhou is going to talk about the open science perspective for Chinese research in publishing. So the virtual floor is yours now. Thank you very much for the introduction. So I'll try to share my screen. Look at this one. Can you see my screen? Yes, but we also see the sub slide. Do you want to be presenting full screen? Sure, now? Perfect, yeah, looks good. Yes. Thank you. So hello everyone. So I will spend seven minutes to talk about the publishing in China about the things related to open science. So I'm really excited to see this event happen, you know, the try to remove the barriers between different languages. And also I'm the editor, associate editor from the one top journal of Chinese journals named Science Splitting. So in the first issue of this year, a message from the editor-in-chief calling open science to support the global sustainable development. And also, by the way, I am a senior from Beijing Normal.  So I'm going to talk about the open science perspective for Chinese researchers in publishing. I remember I only make a very small point here. And so by focusing on the neuroscience, I will focus on three cohorts in China and to highlight the point I want to make about the publishing. So the first one is what we call a Chinese colonized project for lifespan development of brain and mind. And the second one we call Chinese human connective project. And the third one is Chinese imaging genetics project. So in the first year, in the first issue of Neutron Neuroscience this year, I think it proposed a piece about the excruciating human new imaging methods to highlight the need to increase the diversity of diverse subjects all from the new imaging community. And I also wasn't just mentioned the weird sample of things. Actually this is all recognized by the new imaging field very early. So the first project is, we all know the project that proposed in 2009 by NIH called the Human Connective Project. And in next year, last year we published one paper to announce the Chinese Human Connective Project by using almost the identical protocol with HCP. And then we can see from the postulation for the cortical sheet, and then those postulations are largely identical. But also if you look into those culture related or language related even for large scale networks, there are still differences between the two cohorts. So another one is with the Chinese imaging genetics project. And this one is a very big project. And also now all the data already collected and we published a lot of papers. But I'm sure it's not all over the researchers know this resource. And then we can see here, we published these papers in English. And then also for the names, for the contents of the papers are all in English. And that's a problem that's a great problem for Chinese researchers. I mean, most Chinese researchers, they read Chinese much easier at them. So the point I want to make is about, so for my own team, I always thinking about, why not we published in both English and Chinese for the same thing at them? For example, I published with my team members, published the Chinese colonized project in English. And then, but of course we published in Chinese first. This is, you know, five way ahead of the English paper. And then we already published in Chinese. And then I know most, you know, foreign guys, very, very difficult to read this. And then, but, and it is much easier for us. And then, so my point here is, is there any way for open science community to push forward the publisher, even other there's another way or resource or platform to publish the same thing, the same scientific contents in multiple languages. So this is the one I want to push forward, push the publisher to do is we write this, we try to write the papers in both languages and then to ask the publishers, such like nature scientific data to publish it in both. And I don't know, maybe we are still discussing about this with nature. But at least now we push them to publish these names in both English and Chinese and then to recognize. And then, so I'm not very sure about this, but for me, for open science, from a more open science perspective, we should by using this new culture to push these things in publishing. So my, the whole message is about how open science can help break down the language barriers in publishing. The point is very small, I already made. So thank you very much. Thank you so much for a great talk. Just remind everyone, sorry, today I'll be longer than we expected. We obviously have a lot more to talk about. Remind everyone, sorry, today I'll be longer than we expected. We're all very passionate about the topic we present. So I'll just let you know the session recorded and just put your question there. We will try our best to select a question in the end. So that's where kind of next speaker, Dr. Gao, talk about open science from a government and policy perspective. So please share your screen if you are ready. Great, yes. Yes, okay. Okay, here you go. Okay, thank you. Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. So grateful for the opportunity to make a pot here. I'm Gao Yuwei from the Computer Network Information Center of KAIS, mainly engaged in scientific data management and sharing research. Today I will introduce scientific data and the open science in China from our policy and practical perspective. I will share some information and the real points based on public information and my work. The first one I will introduce the policy for scientific data and the open science in China, in my opinion. And the openness is one of the essential attributes of science and present. Open science has researched global consensus and a global open science. Governance meets China's participation. And some, I think this policy and you will know some Chinese scholars are also carrying out comparative research on scientific data management policies including academician Wei Yang. I think the place of scientific data management policy development in China has greatly accelerated in research years. From the graph, it can be seen that China's data management policy began to be released in 2018 and which rated as big that year. And in recent years, China has introduced a series and develop a series of data or scientific data management virus. And also this one and in great great data into production factors promote circulation and lay a theoretical foundation for its open sharing. And the first important and in other words, we can see the most important policy is the first national scientific data management merits and its name is the merits for the management of scientific data. It was drafted by the Ministry of Science and Technology formally issued by the general office of the State Council on March 17, 2018 and which established the guideline for China's scientific data work. And also the measures for the management and open sharing of scientific data in CAS was formally issued by the GEO CAS on February 19, 2019. And there is eight chapters and 36 articles in our this policy because the time limit I only introduce some is important. In this policy, the key issue is the scientific data center because the scientific data center is the key to ensuring the sustainable development of scientific data. So in the policy, three types of scientific data centers are defined and they are the chief center this sampling data center and the institution data center. And then the second point where I will introduce some practices for scientific data and the open sites in China, in my opinion. In order to implement policies for the data management China released 20 national data centers as the pilot to improve the data opening and the sharing actively. These data centers covered the fields of physical science by science, earth, queen, and so on. And I worked at the national space science data center. In other, in other points and activities in recent years, Zhong Guan Chun forum have supported some open science projects in China. And such as the international innovation lines for open science was established. And the Beijing in the in their time for open science projects was issued. Scientific data and the open science was held this year. And this is also a picture. And in 2022, academic department of kind kept the test launch is the advisory review project research on the trains and the impact of open science and all the, all the so many the academicians, deputies, directors take part in this project. And the project is on the research and in standards, China is keeping on establishing scientific data based standardization architecture as well as the guidelines to lower the gap in data measurement. And I look up the information from the WebZert publications authored by national science and the technology infrastructure platform center and by professionals how officials released in recent years. In these studies, the progress and the challenges of open sharing and the data have been discovered. And the other practice for the cast a long term mission started in 1986 which founded by cast. And now we are we are we are we are establishing a center of kinds. Based on the 40 years as the data work and the three years data centers development has has from the data central network considered of one chief data center 18, this discipline data center and 16 in institutional data center and also data paper and the related data are encouraged to publish on the data journals and the data repositories such as we established a science data bank. On the second point I want to share in the summer work about national based science data center. And during the designing and the development of the NBSDC platform we fully complied with the fair principle and the implementation ideas to related open science such as including the data policy and some the PID also we NBSDC has taken the lead and precipitated in developing 23 national standards and the developers data center standard system is on the list and the last NBSDC also held some workshops on cutting issues such as the data assets in the area of data economy and challenges of open sharing of some data in China and also including the issue about open science and so on. Finally, I hope we can make a progress to promoting that open science and the scientific data together in the future. That's all the things I want to share with you. Thank you very much. Thank you for your attention. Thank you everyone and thank you to all of our speakers. I saw a couple of mentions in the chat of wanting the speakers presentations the slides. We're going to collect those from our speakers and we will send that out in the email that I'll go out later today. Now it's time for our Q&A session which is our chance to hear from our audience. Obviously we are a little bit over on time so what we've done is we've collected all of the questions that came in the chat and come in through our Q&A session. We're going to pick one to talk about now but we're going to continue the conversation on some of our different social media platforms both for COSN and for the Center for Open Science that way that we can continue the conversation even though we are a little over on time now but again the session will be recorded and sent out so if you do have to leave that is okay. I appreciate everyone that has stuck around for us. Our first and really only question that we're going to answer today is how do Chinese researchers receive the benefits and challenges of adopting open science practices? I believe Vincent you had mentioned in our little document here that you might want to take the first attempt at this one. Yeah so basically I just finished my postdoc from M&I joined the Shanghai Mental Health Center so it's a university affiliated hospital so basically here I've been really talking to a lot of clinicians and the doctors here and they're doing their research. They're very interested in improving their quality of research and they're happy to use better methods and to do things more rigorously and to manage their data properly which really needs a lot of efforts which really is not their expertise but they also have very heavy burden of like they need to do a lot of clinical work. They don't have enough time to organize their data and to check all the methods again and again because it's too difficult for them. So they really would like to like embrace open science but they really need help like they need help from the informatics group need the help from the statisticians and need the help from the people who are really doing open science research. So that is how the clinical staff or the doctors see open science when I was trying to talk to the hospital like the hospital chair and they're really also really interested in improving the old research and make the data at least like shareable and fair within their institutions but really it's not something like we would like to do it, we do it now it really needs some expertise. So I guess one of the roles of the open science community is that to spread the wide that doing open science really needs some solid background of technology or of statistics and maybe we need more permanent positions in these institutions that working in open science with the open science like practice and all these guidelines. I think this is something I've observed when I just come back to China. Thank you. Wonderful, thank you. Do either of our other two speakers want to address the question of perceived benefits or challenges of adopting open science practices for Chinese researchers? Sure, Daniel, I have one point to make here is as you've already pointed out there are actually a lot of informatics resources already in China, especially in Chinese academic sciences but I think the connection between the national centers or national resources need to be to be smoothly linked to the local universities or also all those hospitals I think Vincent made this gap clear. Okay, thank you. Any other comments? Wonderful. Well, with that we will take a final look at the chat make sure that we have all the questions we will record them and we will talk about them in other platforms. I believe you Fang has also added links to the COSN Twitter the WeChat group that you guys use feel free to contact them directly. You can also contact me at the Center for Open Science. My name is Daniel Stieger. You can find my contact information on our chat and we thank everyone for coming today. I feel like this is really informative and the really beneficial thing about this is that Saturday we will be hosting the same webinar presentations in this time within Chinese so hopefully it will help us reduce some of these language barriers that were talked about in depth today. Thank you everyone for coming and we will thank you again to our speakers and we will close up here. Thank you everyone.


Hey guys, this is Matt Beck from freesaloneducation.com. We're here at Palm Beach of the School Jersey Shore in Brick, New Jersey We're gonna head inside and we're gonna work with the students on filming a haircut color style the whole entire package I hope you guys enjoy this video and yeah, let's go have some fun All right guys, so this is Matt Beck from freesaloneducation.com and I'm very excited for this video we Went to Jersey Shore obviously and we filmed this is gonna be a full-through step-by-step haircut. We're gonna do a graduated Basically an A-line bob on curly hair And the thing I like about this we wanted to go to the school because we wanted to find People that were willing and open and also, you know They wanted to learn as well and wanted to learn filming and all that so we got some students involved So I'm gonna walk you guys through the haircut what we did We're gonna go through the style breakdown the color breakdown and how they did that as well So starting off here in the back We we started by cutting our guideline and what you notice is I'm not holding the hair in my hand Because I don't want to create a lot of tension. She's got curly hair. It's gonna live curly anyways So why would I pull it down on my hands? That's not how it's naturally gonna live So I comb it down. I even give it a little bit of movement with my hand To let it spring up and become almost in its natural state and then I cut my baseline now I cut that at a zero degree angle Which basically if you look at the curve of the head is gonna create almost a 45 degree angle anyways because of the way that the Oxipro bone curves and moves so we're working diagonal forward sectioning I cut that baseline first now. I'm gonna move in with elevation So we got a few different camera angles here. So hopefully you guys can get a really good look at what we're doing But what I want to show here is How that head shape is is angled? So I'm gonna pull out what I cut at a zero degree angle right here to show you that it's really at a 45 degree If you hold it out So you can see that that angle that it creates even though I cut it right at the neck It's still a 45 degree angle So I don't need to elevate any of that if I do that I'm gonna create a weird tail in the back of the head That I don't want so now As I work through the elevation I'm gonna work on a higher elevation because the head starts to curve away So you can see that angle that I'm working at and right here I'm basically telling them that if if I were to hold that hair at a 45 degree angle the entire time or what we consider a 45 degree angle it would basically turn into a zero degree angle as the head curves away, so Now we're gonna work still keeping it At a little bit higher elevation because with curly hair you don't need that much graduation You don't need a really strong angle that's gonna build up a lot of weight It's gonna happen anyways, and it's gonna shoot up because of the springiness of curly hair anyway, so My elevation is is probably at about a 45 degree angle at this point looking at it It would be really high if it was 90 degrees So we're about a mid mid point there. So holding it out 45 degree angle And just cutting palm to palm Combing all of that new hair. So all the new hair is going towards the center of the head Towards my guideline and that's really key. You'll also notice that I'm using a Y spark 3 3 2 comb Which is a really wide tooth comb And the reason for that is she's got curly hair Why would I want to use a tight tension comb on curly hair a lot of classes that I've taught out The hairdressers have their favorite comb and you can't just have one comb for everything you need a you need a Comb that fits the situation and the 3 3 2 comb I like on curly hair So we're still working palm to palm Following that guideline now we were traveling slightly and now Everything is over directed straight back because really what I want to do is once I hit that corner of the head I want to push that weight forward, which is going to create our a line feel It's going to push more that weight forward so you can see how it drops down a bit in there I'm just checking the way that the hair falls. I think with curly hair It's a lot about the feel and what we're trying to do is where we want to expand that shape So I'm just kind of tossing it around and then we'll go through. I'm cleaning up a little bit of neck hair Sometimes that's a nervous habit. I mean it doesn't need to happen yet. I'm going to do it at the end again But you know, we just we all have our habits so These are things that when you start editing a video you notice about yourself, but So it's still working at 90 degrees. I let a little bit more hair down working vertically at this point still Straight back but not straight out. So still again at that 45 degree angle straight out would be straight up from the crown And we're working about midway down So vertically using the previous section as my guide Traveling guide still I'm not over directing it all the way back Maybe we'll get an angle in there as you can see that but we're not I'm not over directing it to the very center back Because if I did that I'd push way too much weight to the side of the head and I don't want to do that So over direct straight back Watch the consistency and this is what I look for when I watch myself cutting hair is I'm looking for the consistency of my elevation So right here I'm working around the round of the head I don't want to elevate it the top section is going to be elevated straight out So I look at consistency with that then I drop my elevation as I work the round of the head Because the angle of the head changes So I don't want to create too much weight dropping down towards her ear Now we're going to go through and cross-check basically working diagonal back sections Just make sure that you shift that finger angle. So it's horizontal with the neckline In the back in the nape of the neck and Just dusting the ends. I'm looking for inconsistency in my elevation the key to this Cross-checking is just to make sure that I'm taking small sections because if you take Large sections what's going to happen is you're going to pull it too far from where it was originally in the cut You're going to change the shape of the haircut So just make sure that you take small sections and it comes straight out from the head just like you cut it in the other direction because cross-checking is really just Checking both angles to make sure that you have consistency And there we go So when you can see the thing about curly hair that's so great A lot of people like to cut a ton of texture in curly hair, which is fine at the end You can add some texture and lighten it up But when you create structure in curly hair, it's one of the coolest things because you can actually It's my favorite thing to cut is curly hair because you see the shape actually happen you see it expand out and That's awesome. You can't see that on fine thin low What's a density well there we go it hit me it's been a long day But low density hair you can't see that shape happen So curly hair is just so cool in the way that it expands So you want to create a precise haircut because then you can actually see that shape forming Now the difference here is my fingers are pointing down The reason they're pointing down is I want to stay consistent with my combing We've talked about this in past haircuts that I've done if you haven't seen them Make sure you're subscribing to our channel on YouTube because we have a lot of haircuts We're producing four to five videos a week With free education so but you just want to stay consistent with the combing make sure that you comb that hair Towards your guideline you're never combing your guideline towards the new hair still working vertical and the toughest part about this section here is that My elbow is is in the air so if my elbows in the air it's gonna want to fall down and So it's really hard to stay consistent this way So you just want to make sure you're focused on that the entire time I mean, we're not always gonna be super comfortable cutting hair But you want to try to have your hand as in your arm and your body position as comfortable as possible so You can see my elevation dropped at the beginning because of the head shape And then as I work my way up the head then my elevation gets a little bit higher The thing I loved about being at Palm Beach of school Jersey Shore was that First off they have students that are just love learning and they were totally willing to be there They were loving what we were doing. So it was really cool to experience it with them and Get them involved. They did the color for us. They helped with the styling They helped we showed them how we set up everything when we film and it was just really fun It was a cool experience to be with them and doing that. So you know, this is the place that we would go to Find new hires and new talent for the industry. So make sure that You get involved in getting in the school. This is something We didn't obviously get paid to go in there But we wanted to go in there and share What we're doing and it inspires the students and we get to meet them and and you get to find out Who's gonna work great in your salon? So it's a really cool thing to do and do it in your area and get involved with the students find What makes you guys different as a salon and go in there and and share it? So there you go. Now we're gonna go through we're gonna cross-check again This is the GoPro angle you can see when we do the the wider shot you can see there's a camera on my chest and Sometimes we wear it on our head. We're trying it in all different ways So just you can see this a good shot of how we're cross-checking really small sections Try not to pull all of that old hair with me So I take the small section and and over direct it back Keeping that elevation high because if you looked at that vertically, I would be elevating that whole section up So I don't want to hold it down at the bottom of this when I'm explaining to them now I wouldn't want to hold that all down because it would change the whole entire haircut That's not how I cut it. So just make sure as you work through there and you're cross-checking That you're keeping that elevation high and right off of the head that way in the last section making sure I'm just straight back straight off the head I don't want to I don't want to cut off that corner I want to create that and push that weight forward and that's what really makes this haircut stand out Especially on curly hair.  So what I'm gonna do is again, I did not comb this down straight I comb it down and then I let the curl kind of expand up and then I cut the line We can always go in and clean that up later But I want to just leave it there and I also did not elevate it because there's no reason to elevate it right now I want to go through the top part there That we're gonna work on next the very top section That's where we can create the lightness and and all that but she doesn't have a really thick density of hair So I want that curl to expand Maybe you can see me shaking it out Letting that curl activate and as soon as the curl activates then I'm gonna go in and cut the line I like this better than just holding it up Overdirecting it back and pushing the weight forward because I can determine what I want that line to look like Instead of holding it back and hoping that it falls the way I want it to just clean it up a little bit more This would be a good chance to look in your mirror and see if both sides are balanced the way that you would like them to be And then just get your hands in it. I mean curly hair is so fun to just watch it expand and build and Become what you want it to be so now we're gonna let down the top and The top is just really we just built the shape We've created everything so now what I want to do is I'm gonna separate the front and the back So you can see that right at the high point that apex right there And I'm gonna work and I want to keep expanding that round shape in the back And then I'm gonna do something a little bit different with the front and collapse the top a little bit more in the front Because I don't want a lot of weight being shoved over So we'll twist up the top and you completely separate it and just you know Keep everything clean organized as you're working through don't get too Ancy to want to jump and do everything at once because they're two separate things as you look at the curve of the head and how it works It's different. The back is different than the front. You're gonna hold it differently. It's working differently So eventually they will connect but they're they're a different part of the head They're gonna the hair is gonna lay in a different spot So so we separate the front in the back and now I'm gonna work in basically pie shaped sections But I'm gonna over direct them To that back left corner. So you'll see this What I wanted to do is expand the heavy side So if she's gonna part on the left hand side I wanted to over direct everything to the left hand side and just push that weight because I also I think with with curly hair Sometimes we cut too many layers and on the top it'll look a little flatter Because of all the layering and then around the side It gets it starts to sort of expand and we collapse it a little bit too much on the top. So Here you're gonna see me Combing with the round of the head, but over directing it all the way over Just to build up that weight on the heavy side It's going to give it a little bit of an asymmetric feel but not really because the the left side is light airy So it's going to expand on its own and then the heavy side sometimes falls a little flat because it's so heavy So you want to add a little bit more Layering to the left side and then the bulk to the right side Still working vertically through there and over directing it stationary guide And this will be the last section Just grabbing it over over directing all that hair To that stationary guide pushing all that weight to the right side There we go And now we're going to work on the front the cool thing about this experience was Teaching a class at the same time. So we're filming this and we had the three camera angles going but There were students there. So we were teaching as well, which was really fun So now I'm going to take a section out of the corner. So this is where she parts her hair So I want to take a section from above the part And I'm going to take a little bit of a section from below the part And that's going to start my guideline for the front of the head Also the thing with our model Jessica here who's also a student at the school um The one thing about her was that her head was a little bit flatter on top. So what we wanted to do I wanted to create A little bit more bulk in the middle Like around the apex area just to give it a little more roundness And that's the thing with our guests. They all have we all have different shape heads I have a really flat head in the back So I was just talking to the guys before I want to create a little more bulk in the back of my head You know, so you want to create an illusion of something that's not there That's what a great haircut is So when we look at here, I want to build up that weight right in the center. So my over direction is short around the Forehead area and it builds to a peak right around the apex So the weight that I built up in the back section I cut short to long in the back And now I'm cutting short to long in the front to create that peak right Where the top of my knuckles are there And then everything is again being over directed to right over top of the parting So we're creating a side angled kind of fringe with curly hair And also removing a lot of bulk and placing it on the apex So everything that we're doing has a purpose and that's really What you want to make sure you're focused on when you're cutting hair is Putting weight where you need it and removing it where you don't need it Sounds simple, but as long as you understand head shape and that was thing that clicked for me You know a few years ago cutting hair was just I understood How to create a shape or like a triangle or square shape on the head But what I didn't understand and what clicked with me finally was to put it with the head shape as well So, you know combining all that stuff together And doing everything with a purpose And there we go So what we're going to do now is we're going to break down some of the other stuff the styling And then I'm going to come back in and finish up with the dry cut So let's let Barrett go through the styling and then we'll come back All right guys, we are moving on to the finishing now. This is Barrett Sultana from freesaloneducation.com And this is our friend Taylor and she came through and she helped me do a lot of the finishing So I'm just going to have her go through and say what products we've used and how we achieved We're going to start in the back So if you could walk us through and tell me what we did in the back Sure. Well, first we started with a palmatial twirl around We rubbed it through the entire Head and we went with the curl pattern. So we kind of twirled our fingers in there Kind of just like worked it through every curl individually. And then when we went in with the diffuser We started did you want to start in the back? Can you tell her in the back because she was pretty saturated? So we wanted to get this dry first Okay, and now the haircut that matt went through Because we went I wanted to start in the back Just to build that weight because matt went through and talked about a lot of the structure that we did with the haircut So I think that that helps with building the volume in the hair and building the structure of the curl back So then we went through and we had her tilt I'm just going to have her show you a little bit that we tilted her side To side and then I'm going to have taylor tell you why we actually did that with her So when we tilt her side to side it kind of helps bring up that natural volume that she gets with the curl Okay, and then when we went side to side the last thing we really had her do is flip forward You really don't have to flip forward. I'm not going to give you whiplash But you have this the client or guest flip forward and if they have a little bit longer hair You can also have them stand. We just had her sit in the chair flip her head forward and that also Gave her volume up here And that's why just not touching the curl too much as we're diffusing it Kind of just gripping it at the root to get all that volume up there is what we really did and then going through with a Working spray really helped to build all the weight in the structure of the curl So that matt could go and do some finishing with some dry cutting And then we finished it with a nice finishing spray and that is our style for today. Thanks guys All right, so cool. So um, that's the way that we styled it now that we have it finished and you know You don't want to touch a lot of those curls like bear it was saying So now I can really get my hands in it. We've already got it styled irons and everything um And the one thing that I don't think was passed along in that was That she did go through with a small wand iron and just to find the curls So I think that's important to say because this isn't just a diffused look You know more effort goes into it than that I think that was the one thing that hair shows is that you know So much effort goes into making that hair look flawless and then we come out and we're like, you know It's just this one product did all of this and it's not that's not the case. So You know, there was a wand involved. There was diffusing sprays all different stuff it goes into this look Um, so we're just going through doing a tease cutting technique. I'm using my blacksmith fit puff in Dry cutting scissor. So it's a real smooth scissor in the dry hair Just going through and just lightening up the top layer of curls So nothing too fancy. I just like to create a little airiness airiness if that's a word through the top of the hair and And yeah, just give it some movement in there I remember when I was in beauty school. I was told that, you know, um I saw this really sleek beautiful look from on a DVD and My teacher was like, you know, they go through with a flat iron They use all these serums and all this stuff and I'm like, well People can do that at home. We can teach people to do this stuff. So, um, you know, this is a look that's very easy to recreate and um And I think if we show people to diffuse and then use a wand really quick I don't think that that's too much to ask for our guests. So but it gives it such a definition on all the curls I'm going through clean it up the neck hair. I just lift up some of the curls and go through just flatten my scissor Along the neckline. This is something, you know, work on it But if you have your steady blade that's not moving and you just work that along the neck and then you close it um With the the blade that you have in motion it works really well You don't have to use a clipper like I don't I like to leave it a little natural She's supposed to have some neck hair there. So just go through through scissor and clean it up a bit So now we're going to jump in uh, just finish it with a firm finishing spray Expand the curl out. It looks great. The color looks awesome. So Brian here is going to go through now and he's going to break down the color technique that Um, they did at the school. So here we go. Hey guys, brian here from freestylaneeducation.com with my good friend Jess and she was the creative genius behind this really cool color technique on our lovely model here So i'm here to let her explain that to you guys So hi jess. Hi great job So why don't you walk us through a little bit of what you did? We did a block coloring technique on her Um from the apex forward. We did a cool red And then we did um a cool red on the occipital down as well the same color. Yes And then around the band of the hair We did a red red a neutral red and then right here on the sides We did a block coloring with a red orange So you have a cool a neutral and a warm red all in the one head? Yes That's awesome. I mean it looks great. You can definitely see the dimension throughout Uh, why did you choose to do one of each? Um, just to give it some movement and some dimension and just to give it Different colors has some fun with it. Well, I think it did a great job. It definitely translates well into this great Angled haircut and it explodes great choice with the block color because it really helps to show up on the curl So I think did a fantastic job and don't be surprised if I steal this from you Thank you Hi, i'm draa bullen with freesalon education dot com And i'm here with alana to break down her makeup technique that she used today on our lovely model Hi, um, so I really wanted to play out her warmth in her hair car that she got and really feature that in her makeup application I really incorporated the copper red tones and kind of a coral cheek color and the Consor and highlight really brings out her facial features and really plays up the whole hairstyle and brings it all together Well, you did a great job.

It's Robin today. We've got a lot of things to go over. So let's just jump right into it First of all, we'll take a look at what's going on the market There's been a little bit of a pullback. The question is what's everybody waiting for? I'll tell you what it is. It's going to be the crypto week and it's going to be quite a roller coaster We're gonna take a look at the earnings reports that are coming out for some big big big tech companies We'll take a look at the Fed and the GDP numbers and also we'll take a look at if they're potentially will be a Recession and what the government defines as an actual recession because surprise it's already changed Then we'll take a look at a story and I just want everybody to This might get a little a little bearish on that side So I want everybody to get the flip side of this and zoom out. We talked about a Barclays Story as they invest into copper and what that actually is then we'll take a look at the Voyager offer from FTX and Sam Bacon Fried and if it's really something that should be considered and lastly We'll take a look at a project that just came across the desk. It's called a Satoshi island where we think things are strange now Just wait for this little article. So we'll take a look at all those things But first let's take a look what's going on into the markets this morning So yeah, not much to say a little bit of a pullback in 24 hours not surprising We did we've been doing pretty well quite honestly a little bit of resilience. I like it Hopefully people took if you had to take profits you could but if we just go down last 24 hours Most things are down and people are just undecided well except for uniswap and I can see why people like to use uniswap these days Instead of centralized exchanges. I can only understand why that potentially could be but it's good and we'll see how this all plays out because there's a lot of things coming on the pipe and that is just How it's gonna be this week and there's some things to pay attention to which you probably already know And let's take a look at those specific dates and how this is all gonna work out. So first up the earnings Here's the earnings calendar for Nasdaq and there may be about maybe other ones and things that are coming out But right now I really just care about the tech because that's pretty much how we are in lockstep You know what would be a good question, I guess See what Nasdaq is doing this morning now down point two six percent. Okay on a big deal So here's what we have so for today As far as which one's reporting cadence design systems NXP semiconductor's new mon corporation I have no idea what any of these companies do nor do I And familiar with them. Well, we can sort this by market cap. This is nasdaq.com I don't really care about this what I care about is Tuesday So Tuesday comes along and we're gonna see the earnings report from Microsoft's pretty big company Alphabet's Google things like that visa Coca-Cola McDonald's. I guess that's interesting stuff But these top ones are pretty big to me that on Wednesday Metta is going to do a little bit of earnings report We'll see how that works out and that's Wednesday in the morning Qualcomm T-Mobile Bristol Myers Squibb Equinor And then on Thursday, let's see who we got. Oh, yeah Apple and Amazon so we'll see and of course Mastercard and Pfizer So we'll see how this all works. Oh Exxon mobile also So this is again, this is one of those weeks where it's like the Super Bowl for traditional finance and Also cryptocurrency because we're actually in lockstep with them. That's my personal belief So all these dates are gonna be important. We'll see how it all plays out, but I got to tell you Just me I mean, I don't know but we've heard a lot of these big tech companies laying off people and Usually when that happens, it's not because the earnings are so fantastic Again, we'll see how it plays, but I don't expect the greatest of news moving forward So that's what we have as far as like the earnings themselves and also don't forget GDP numbers come out on Thursday, July 28th. Why is that important? Well, it's important because if we have two consecutive quarters and Last quarter in 2022 was negative 1.6. That was the third estimate the revision Which means there was one quarter and GDP decline Now the question is on Thursday. Will they come out for their first estimate and say yes There is a decline in GDP which would equate to what we call a recession, but not so fast Because that's what we usually call it. However the White House just put out this nice little Piece of information that said what's a recession? Well, while some maintain that two consecutive quarters are falling real GDP consider recession That is neither the official definition nor the way economists evaluate the state of the business cycle, that's interesting every economist that I've seen and and Heard online and listen to so that's pretty much it there. Maybe these are I know Australian Austrian and Keynesian different types of Economists, but okay, sure. We'll go with that It's unlikely that the decline in GDP in the first quarter this year even if followed by another GDP decline the second quarter indicates a recession No, nothing like the government moving the goalposts. So that's that part and then to really get clarity if you call it that Here's Janet Yellen and she was on meet the breasts with Chuck Todd and he asked her a pretty basic question about what they consider a recession and What that means moving forward. So I'm gonna have you Listen to Janet Let me share my tab so you can actually hear it. Let me mute myself. Just take a listen and then actually tell me how Wrong or right she is and keep an open mind before you listen because actually she does have some pretty good points Just take a listen to this Let me just start with this many businesses seem to be preparing for a recession Should all Americans at home be preparing for what's for a recession that many people think now is likely well Look The economy is slowing down It last year it grew very rapidly at about five and a half percent and That succeeded in putting people back to work who had lost their jobs during the pandemic The labor market is now extremely strong Even just during the last three months net job gains Average three hundred and seventy five thousand This is not an economy that's in recession but we're in a period of transition in which growth is slowing and that's necessary and appropriate and We need to be growing at a steady and sustainable pace so there is a slow down and businesses can see that and That's appropriate given that people now have jobs and we have a strong labor market but you don't see any of the signs now a a Recession is a broad based contraction that affects many sectors of the economy We just don't have that consumer spending remains solid. It's continuing to grow output industrial output has grown in five of the six last most recent months Credit quality remains very strong household balance sheets are generally in good shape but inflation is way too high and You know the Fed is charged with putting in place policies that will bring inflation down and I expect them to be successful the administration for its part is supplementing those Fed policies with things we can do we've cut the deficit by a record one and a half trillion dollars this year Releases of gas from the strategic petroleum reserve are putting some downward pressure on gas prices We've seen gas prices just in recent weeks come down by about 50 cents There should be more in the pipeline and hopefully we will pass a bill that will lower prescription drug costs and Okay, so well first of all I don't know if she can take or if the government can take credit for all those things that she talked about but Sure, but there is one part that she did say that was a little bit interesting Which is the labor market and I this is a thing that I can't figure out either Which is I've talked to a lot of friends a lot of different industries and They're like we cannot find people fast enough We have a labor shortage unemployment and unemployment rates are still around 3.6 percent It's inching up that is true And of course there's different companies that are laying off right now, but people seem to find jobs So that is the one thing that I'm looking at is going under scratching my head going some of that part doesn't make sense Now the things that she talks about I mean at least you got one thing right She didn't talk about that inflation is too high and she didn't say it's transitory like it was before so Again, this is maybe the government just moving the goalposts a little bit farther away or maybe That is exactly what it should be. Let me know what you think in the comment section I'm not a personal fan of what she said, but whatever let's just move on to the next one and Well actually before we do that just so you know I talked about us before is that this whole week is what I'm waiting for I'm waiting to see where the earnings report comes from if they're gonna come out and say it is a recession if we're gonna see 75 basis points or 100 basis points come out and usually what I do is I dollar-cross average every day I haven't done that anymore I usually just buy on Sunday and then I just wait for these big announcements So like we did this last in July 13th and the CPI numbers came out and now I'm gonna wait for Drone Powell to come out and say yes We're gonna raise this to you know one percentage point or a hundred basis points or 75 or whatever else I Potentially could be I'm just gonna wait and see and then the cash that I've had over here just waiting It's gonna let I just let it accumulate and then I just see where the market goes and I put it into Crypto and digital assets mostly it's gonna be Bitcoin Ethereum, but there are some all site Will probably purchase and that it's between me and myself and I Sonya I just think about that's in the comment section and Before we go on it's not fanciest advice what I'm doing.  So that's what's going on Let's move on to the next piece To zoom out because look Nobody really knows what's gonna happen in the future. We have no idea. We don't know if this If the rates are gonna come out and drums gonna say, you know what we're gonna do 1.25 and of course and then we're gonna come out with the GDP numbers and Reduction of you know two points off whatever Nobody has any idea, but sometimes it's a good idea to zoom out and look in for the long term And this is where right now everybody builds and they put those rails down for the next bull run Remember in 2017 we didn't have a bunch of banks at a bunch of institutions coming in We didn't have the president United States talking about a crypto We didn't have congressmen and congresswomen fighting over what was a security or what well kind of it But there wasn't a lot of these rails and just take a look at what's going on around you behind the scenes Which leaves me at this point Barclays so This was an article that don't think it's gonna get a much attention But I think it's big and just shows you how much institutions are coming in now again We love institutions when they come and they dump their money But we hate them when they sell Tesla, but that's just how it is You got to remember that the institutions they're not here for you. They're here for their All their Stockholders, so just remember that as they come in cheer them as they come out just go Hey, you make a profit good for you. I'm here for the same thing Barclays expected to invest millions of dollars in coppers Funding round report first of all who the heck is copper like I was looking at something like is this a commodity What are we talking about? Why is this on coin desk? I couldn't figure it out because in the article itself The funding round values copper at 2 billion expected to close in the coming days Barclays one of UK's biggest banks with assets around 1.4 trillion that's pretty big and Barclays prior investment institutional crypto service provider Elwood Tech in May and It's just pretty much just talks about how Barclays is investing in the copper. I'm like again I'm like, I don't understand who this is. So this is copper and I linked this in the description copper.co first of all great website. I gotta give it's very it's very nice They're engaging but what this place is it's Institutional investing and they do all the things that institutions want to do to get into crypto as this isn't for people like you you and I and When I was looking through this They have a lot of good information. I'm not gonna go through it But a couple of big names are in here. Hey, Meyer GSR Hilbert group links and like State Street And I was like that's pretty big place State Street If you don't know they have it's pretty big institution one of the oldest banks I believe with four point one four trillion dollars of assets under management and these copper Again, Elron FTX links was foundation They are a part of everything that's going on. So now we've got Barclays investing into them So the question that I have for you is this very simply If you have this many people this many institutions coming in and they haven't pulled out Maybe they've taken little profits here along the way Do you think that this that crypto is going to zero? Do you think that these institutions haven't done their own due diligence and taken a real hard look them and go? You know what? Let's just gamble it away. Just go for that me personally when I see these types of things I think you know what maybe I am in the right place the right time. Maybe it is early. Maybe Bitcoin will not go to Zero like people talk about so these are just the things that I think about and especially when I take a look at it I zoom out as a big institutions coming in. I think this could be a big play And yeah, let me know what you think about that in the comment section. Let's move on to one of our last pieces the Voyager buyout so This has been I give this this question of chats, Rob. What do you think about this? What do you think about this buyout what things going on first of all? The reason why I have these rules that I put these rules up was because of Celsius and Voyager These are the things that I would talk about but I wouldn't talk about enough So now I make it a point to drill in everybody's head because for some reason people like to listen to just part of what I'm talking about and just forget about the rest So here's the rules again. These are my rules They don't have to be yours, but he's the ones that I abide by and I'm not a financial advisor Remember anything you invest into just assume. It's all gone because in this industry in this sector It's a lot like gambling it really is so don't invest more than you can afford to lose and go from there so Also remember everything's a scam everything's a scam until proven otherwise if you follow this advice you're gonna be a lot happier person Verify don't trust next one. Don't leave any on exchanges.   It's a hundred percent free in module two I show you exactly how to use a ledger what a private key is I have show you exactly how to take it off different Exchanges and make it super simple and bite-sized pieces Last two don't use leverage. I'm not a big fan of 2550 points I mean two x maybe And then of course lastly take profits along the way anyhow. That's that part. Here's the part about Voyager and this look this new little wrinkle that came about So this is sam bacon free and he came out and said hey Let's uh, let's offer to buy up buy a voyager and voyager came out and said that's a low ball offer We're not going to do it. However There is some credence to this this is this is the uh the tweets of why Sam is doing this in ftx. He goes look Voyager lost customer assets. That's true. And uh, that's why I put that video out in june 22nd That said hey, guess what voyager just gave uh over a half a billion dollar not just but had given a Over half a billion dollar loan to three arrows capital without collateral That's insane So i'm taking all my money out Our crypto out and I did for the most part not all but unfortunately there's some some left there But it still has the majority left. Why haven't these been returned to customers yet? Great question Sad facts from a bankruptcy process. Oh, that was a good one sam. So then he goes on to say Let's say that voyager has I don't know three quarters of the assets left He says I don't know the exact number It seems like the first thing that should happen is that customers get back the 75 percent Then later get back the rest if anything is recovered from three arrows capital But it hasn't happened. Why well Traditional processes that before customers get their assets Back they get effed first. There's a long drawn-out process During which funds are frozen. It can take years remember mount gox that process still going on look That part is true But there is other ways to do these things and this is what simon dixon has proposed for celcius. It's a lot It's a lot different than going through the whole banks and appointing uh and and uh trustee to actually handle everything or To vote on something and say look you're going to get back 50 60 percent Then you're going to get a security token and that security token can be worth x amount and who knows how long But it's going to take a little bit of time, but you're going to have to wait There's a lot of options out there and this is what sam is thinking that he wants it This Oh, meanwhile the entire time various bankruptcy agents are slowly bleeding the customers frozen assets dry with consulting fees and that's I got to tell you us Brad garling house came out and said that they've already spent a hundred million dollars in legal fees over two years fighting the scc so If you don't think that uh The legal process is expensive. I've got a bridge to sell you This can cost customers hundreds of millions of dollars by time all of a sudden done And finally there's an embedded opinion option see if a customer had won bitcoin on the platform And bitcoin was worth 30k at the time and then it takes years to go through bank of bankruptcy What do they get back one bitcoin or 30k? And that's one of those things that was going on with mount gox as well Probably whichever is worth less That's an opinion. That's not the that's not exactly what could happen So the longer the process drags out the more Optionality customers lose. So what's going on the voyager? Lots of parties are trying to bid 10 cents in the dollar If a customer had a hundred bucks on the platform, they pay 10 bucks and so on and so forth Now the consultants are slowly draining them. So we submitted an offer if they accepted any customer Who would come and get back their share of everything that remained as soon as possible so the customer above would get back 75 bucks immediately and retain their claim in case Morvers are covering from 3ac. They would let customers choose. So what's against the offer? It's voluntary customers wouldn't have to use it But they would lose if it takes some of the assets or fees okay As a disclaimer, I also have a stake in the process, but I'm sure I'm pretty sure our offer hurts the stake There's a chance equity and the voyage will be worth more At the end of the day, we think voyagers customers should have the right to reclaim to quickly claim that There are many assets if they want without rent seeking in the middle. They've been through enough already PS to clarify our offer would give voyager customers back 100% of the retaining assets that voyager has Including claims and anything to recover in the future And that's pretty much it But here's the question though Let's say we move forward And I've got one. Let's say I've got one bitcoin on there and that bitcoin is worth like just what he talked about Let's say that bitcoin is worth Well at the time of when this in june 22nds were around 30k somewhere around there let's say in the future as the earnings reports come out and the And the rates that drone power hikes it up to and and maybe the more talk of recession Now bitcoin goes down to 19 000 So when this all gets said and done am I going to get 19 000 in cash? Or am I going to just get that one bitcoin because last time I checked one bitcoin is still one bitcoin Don't give me 0.75 of the of the bitcoin and that question Was actually answered right up here Let me go back This is from remnic and he is the head of product and investing at ftx and he said To clear up some confusion. We provide the fair market value of the liquid assets. So if this transaction was happening today We'd buy eth from the estate at 1600 As opposed to 1150 On july 5th. So if it happened today So again, there's a lot of variables up up there I'm not sure that any one shape or form has the best interest at heart But you got to remember And I hate to say this it's a business It's a business and it sucks that's uh, you know people like well, what about looking out for the little guy? Well, let's hope they do but usually when there's billions and billions of dollars little guy gets swept under the rug and uh That's why I was so Important that when simon dixon came out and he was talking about his plan for celsius and to have people's voices Or to put their information out there to actually send it over to to him and bank the future And then they could talk for the people that were voting and go from there me personally I don't think there's going to be any good offer coming out I think we're going to take a pretty big haircut unless Something drastic happens. So in my opinion, is that deal good? Probably not all's I would say is uh, of course, I can't no one really cares what uh What little digital asset news says but I would just wait for probably a better offer. Anyhow, one thing about that in the comment section Let's finish up with just real quick This is crazy there's an island it's called satoshi island And apparently this is happening right now you can purchase An nft on a tropical island. I would live in tropical and it's called Puerto Rico. It's awesome. You should check that out first Uh, which is right off the coast of australia Vanuatu and they're going to sell plots of land as nfts And you're going to be a citizen of this island and uh, I'm actually going to be talking to this guy later today James and uh, I mean it looks interesting. I'm not going to invest into it I will just tell you that right now, but I just thought it was interesting that an entire Island has been bought and people are going to be able to buy it with nfts and go from there I'm like that's pretty insane and citizenship and stuff like that But I got to tell you. I don't know. I'm not I don't have a lot of uh, I'm not very I mean, it's an interesting concept. Don't get me wrong, but it kind of feels like this I hate to say that but that's just how I see it. Anyhow, I want you to think about that in the comment section That is it for today


Welcome to model 57 of points at topology part 1 course. We will continue our study of topological groups today which we have started last time, right? So here are some notation which I am going to fix up at least for today, maybe tomorrow for next time also, so these notations will be different for this section. Take any topological group or just a group to begin with, for any group you can have just notation A and B are subsets, okay?   I want to draw your attention, this is not a subgroup generated by something and so on. It is inside the group but these are just sets and this is just A, B, okay? But you have to combine them with the group log, here you have to take the inverse and take the corresponding set. So the following easily proved fundamental results are at the heart of various special topological properties of topological group that we are going to obtain, okay? So I will not keep saying that G is a group, G, mu, E is a group and so on. So this will be G will always denote A now, topological group for some time. The first thing is this lemma says for E, G and G, look at the left multiplication map given by G, namely L G of H is GH, so it is a map from G to G. Similarly, I can take the right multiplication R G of H is equal to H times G, okay? So one is multiplying on the left, multiplying on the right, okay? So both are maps from G to G, they are self-homomorphisms of G, okay? It is very clear that they are invertible, the inverse of L G being equal to L G inverse. So multiply G inverse, G inverse G is identity, so it will be H. So they are bijections, you know, L G and R G. Why they are homomorphisms? Because they are also continuous, okay?  Only H is variable. So if like a two-variable function, you are taking one variable, one the other one means fixed set, so that is also continuous, okay? Since G, L G and L G inverse both are continuous, both of them are homomorphism, similarly R G and R G inverse. So an easy consequence of this is that you take any open subset, okay? Any open subset, okay?    Multiply, multiply together and collect it together. So that will be an open set. Similarly, X U, now multiplying on the other side. Or you can take X U, X inverse, or you can take many other combinations, go on multiplying, just like writing alphabets, okay? One of them is open, that is necessary. Then all these, all these subsets will be open. Can you see why this is true? Look at U, that is open set. When you multiply on the right by X, what is that? It is just taking R G of U, R X of U. R X is a homomorphism. So R X of U, one single X here, okay?  Because image of U, now U X is nothing but union of all these things where X varies over X. Therefore, this U X is open. Similarly, X U.  X inverse is some other set, right? You can go on applying finite many things all the time. So there will be all opens of sets, okay? I am repeatedly used that R G and X G, L G are homomorphisms, okay? So this is the fantastic thing happening here inside a topological group. The second thing is the inversion I G, which I have denoted by I G, that I G equal to G inverse. This is a self-homomorphism of G and if you take again, I composite I, namely I square, that is the identity because inverse of G, okay? Inverse of G is G itself, okay? So why this is again, this is continuous what we have seen already. This is a, because I square is identity, this is homomorphism. So I composite, I is identity. So this is bijective. So both I and I, its inverse is I itself. So it is a homomorphism, okay? It is a very special homomorphism. It is of order of two. Next, here is a easy thing which you will keep using without even mentioning it. So here I have mentioned it for the first time. Maybe, you know, it will be used several times, namely take any three subsets, okay? Suppose A B intersection C is empty, then and then only A intersection C B inverse will be also empty, okay? It is very easy to verify. If A B intersection C is non-empty, it would imply it is non-empty. That is the way you can prove it. Take a point here, which means you should look like A into B but it is an element of C. So C equal to A B, right? But then A will be equal to C B inverse. So there is an element A here and the same element is here, C B inverse. So it is also non-empty and convergent, okay? A group homomorphism G, G to G prime F, okay? What is a group homomorphism? F of some xy is equal to fx into fy for all x and y inside G, right? A group homomorphism of a topology group is continuous if it only is continuous at a single point, namely e belong to G. Any other point will also do but let us prove for e belong to G, okay? So you must have learnt it elsewhere but let me sum it up here because of the importance of this little result here, okay? We need to prove only if part because only if part, only if not only if part because what you know is if it is continuous, it is continuous at G also. Just continuous here at a single point makes it continuous everywhere that is the part which you have shown, okay? So let F be continuous at e and G be any other element, some other element. Let us look at the image of that namely G prime equal to FG. Since F is a homomorphism for every edge inside G, we have FH you multiply G inverse on this side, F of that F of G inverse will come out, right? F of G inverse again by the same multiplication it is FG, F sorry FG inverse. So FG, FG inverse cancel out. So only FH remains same from here. So it is FH is equal to this one. What I have done is I multiplied G inverse on the left inside a bracket. So outside a bracket if it will be FG inverse because of the F is a homomorphism. So I have to compensate it. So I am multiplying again by FG so that it cancels out, alright? But now what is this inside thing? It is left multiplication by G inverse, right? And FG is a point of G prime. So it is a left multiplication by LG prime inside G prime. So this whole thing will look like LG prime composite F, composite LG inverse operating upon H. Therefore F itself is equal to LG composite, LG prime composite F composite LG inverse, okay? So I have written F itself like this complicated way but this will help us now. Why? Because I know LG inverse is continuous. LG prime is continuous. To show that F is continuous at a point I have to only show that F is continuous at some other point. What is that? That is precisely what is happening here. See I want to show this map F is continuous at G, okay? So I apply LG inverse to this. This G comes to E. Now I apply F but F is continuous at E. So I can go all the way up till here. When I come to F of that if it is E prime and LG prime will take it to G prime. That is nothing but F orange, okay? So middle thing is continuous at E. These two are continuous functions. The composite is continuous and starting point here is G. So the composite is continuous at G, okay? There are many different ways of writing it down. So I find it elegant way of writing it. So if you learn this kind of writing down it will make other concepts very clear at elsewhere also. Now I introduce terminology here because this inversion keeps coming again and again, right?  That is you should take the iota which is the inversion. Under inversion it is invariant. i of A is A, okay? So such a thing is called symmetric now, okay? This is a temporary notation. This has been used by others. So I am also using this word terminology. Now here is a lemma for symmetric things. Let O be a neighborhood of the identity element in G, okay? Then the following is true. There exists symmetric open some sets U of G such that they contain the pointy and such that they are inside O. So starting with any neighborhood, you can improve it to become a symmetric neighborhood, okay? There are many ways of doing it. So there are many of them. In fact, if this happens to everything, you can go on taking for every, you know, there is a symmetric neighborhood systems. So this means just that instead of all neighborhoods, you can just take symmetric neighborhoods to form a fundamental system at the origin. So that is the profound thing here, okay? Similarly, even more profound is there exists symmetric open sets V of G containing the pointy and such that V is a subset of VV that is obvious anyway, okay? But VV itself is contained inside. Now since V is symmetric, I can replace V by V inverse at my will. So this will imply a lot many things. That is what I told you. These are elementary observations to build up the topological theory. So you have to come back here. If you have made mistakes or you have not understood these things correctly, then you will have problems. You will see that, okay? So starting with any neighborhood of identity, I can get such, you know, beautiful neighborhoods, neighborhood is symmetric, neighborhoods which are contained inside their own product and the product is contained inside over and so on, okay? So how to prove that? Proof is also very elegant in sense that, okay? Here I am actually proving even stronger thing here. Namely, instead of single point, you can do it with any neighborhood.  See, I started arbitrary neighborhood only. Now I am taking A to be open subset. A neighborhood means after all there is an open subset, right? So E belongs to A. A is open. A contained inside O. Let us start that. Since the inversion is a homeomorphism, it follows that A inverse is also open, okay? Because it is eta of A.  A is open. A inverse is open. Intersection is open. Inverse image of E is E itself. The inverse of E is E itself, sorry. So E is in both of them. So that was U is a neighborhood of E, open neighborhood of E, okay? What is U inverse? It will be A inverse intersection with A. It is same thing as U.   So this is one way of obtaining a symmetric neighborhood. Use continuity of the function for the next one, namely xy equal to xy inverse. So at the point E comma E belongs to G cross G. Where does E comma E go to? It will go to E. So take a neighborhood O. O I have taken. By continuity, there will be open subset here and open subset here where the product is going inside this open set. So that is what I am writing here, namely E comma E belongs to B1 cross B2. B1 and B2 are open subset, okay? This nu of B1 B2 will be equal to B1 B2 inverse. That will be contained inside O. So this is my continuity of this map which I had denoted by nu earlier. Apply A this part to get a symmetric neighborhood V of E such that this V is contained inside the intersection of B1 and B2. B1 and B2 are neighborhoods of E. So intersection is also neighborhood of E. So now I can improve to become symmetric also. So V equal to V inverse is the extra hypothesis I can put, okay? So once you have that V is always contained inside V into V because identity is there, right? So V equal to E V that is contained to E V. So but I can replace this V by V inverse. So this should be V into V inverse also because V equal to V inverse. But now this V is contained inside B1 and it is also contained inside B2. So first one is B1, second one is B2 inverse hybrid, that is all. And that is contained inside O, okay? So proof is over. So we will have opportunity to use this one, no problem, let us see. Now a little about closures and so on. Let A and B be any subsets of G again. Okay? Let this curly new be the set of all neighborhoods of A in G. Let curly as be the set of all symmetric neighborhoods of E. So this is a smaller, this is a smaller family, okay? This is all neighborhood. This is only symmetric neighborhood. Then the claim is A bar is an arbitrary subset. I am making a statement about A bar. A bar is intersection of all A V where V range is over symmetric neighborhoods. It is also equal to intersection of all A V where V range is over all the neighborhoods. Then the other way around instead of A V, I have V A here and V A here. The other two things are similar here. So either I can write it on the left side or write on the right side. If I take intersection of all of them, what I get is A bar, okay? The second thing is much easier. A bar B bar is contained inside A B bar. So it needs statement. Okay, let us see how these proofs work. Let us first prove the equality, the first one. What is the first one? A bar equal to intersection of V belong to S A V. So your S is only symmetric, okay? What is the meaning of A bar? Take a point in A bar. Its closure means every neighborhood of that point intersects A. That is the definition of closure, right? We shall use that directly. The definition of closure, no other properties, directly use the definition. Okay, suppose X is not in A bar, then I won't show that it is not in one of the sets here. Therefore it is cannot be an intersection. So not in A bar means not on the right hand side. And again not here means not here. That is what I want to approach, okay? So suppose X is not in A bar, then there is a U inside V. What is V? Neighborhoods, neighborhoods of identity element, okay?  So what is X times U? X times U will be neighborhood of X. X is not here.  This is what I am using here. You see neighborhoods of any other point, you don't have to look anywhere. You just translate them. Left translation or right translation, it doesn't matter. Starting with identity element and a neighborhood, multiply by X on the right or X on the right, that will contain X. And it will be neighborhood because these are homomorphisms, multiplication on the right or left, right? That is what I am using here. X U in the DC, any neighborhood of X will look like this, okay? It is most general one. So there is no specialty here. And one of them intersection A is empty because X is not in A bar. That is all I am doing. Now by part A of the previous lemma, we can assume that U is symmetric. You can go back to a symmetric neighborhood. It will be smaller thing contained inside U, so that that will be still empty. So I can assume U would still be symmetric, okay? Now it follows that X is not in A U. See I have A, B intersection, C is empty, implies A intersection, B is C inverse empty. That is what I am using here, okay? So if this is empty, X cannot be A U. Now this is symmetric. Therefore it is one of the elements here, one of the members here. So that means that X cannot be in the intersection, okay? So one part I have done. Now start with the point which is not here. Then you can show that it is not in the closure. This is what I have, right? Conversely, suppose X does not belong to RHS. That means that is a symmetric neighborhood now directly because I have put S here. Say let us call it as V, okay? Such that X is not in A, B. See V is a symmetric neighborhood. I have A times that I am taking, right? So X is not in A, B. So that is the meaning of this. It is not in the intersection. That just means that again going back here, X V intersection A is empty. X V is a neighborhood effect. This means X is not in the closure. So part A is done. The next one, what we have to do? A, B, A bar, B bar, containing inside A, B, bar, okay? So let us see why. So first thing is we know in a product topology if you have a subset A and a subset B of the two X and Y, then A cross B closure is the same thing as A closure cross B closure, right? That is what I am using here. A cross B bar is equal to A bar cross B bar, okay? Now all that I have to use is the continuity of the multiplication. That is all. The mu from G cross G to G, XY going to X into Y. So how? Let us see. A cross B is obviously contained inside mu inverse of A, B because mu of A cross B is nothing but A, B, okay? If you take A inverse, A cross B will be contained in mu inverse of A, B, all right? But A, B is a smaller subset than A, B bar. So this is contained in a mu inverse of A, B, okay? Sorry, mu inverse of A, B bar. But that will imply if you take the closure, this is a closed subset. Why is this a closed subset? It is a bar of something and then mu inverse, mu is continuous. So mu inverse of this one is a closed subset containing a set. So its closure will be contained inside that closure being the smallest closed subset containing the set, right? So I am using something which we have done in a long, long way perhaps. But A cross B bar is A bar cross B bar. So A bar cross B bar is A cross B bar that is contained inside mu inverse of A, B bar because this is a closed subset containing A cross B, okay? So mu of this will be contained inside A, B bar. Now apply mu on both sides, this will be A bar, B bar and that is contained inside A, B bar. So do not make the mistake of you know that A, B bar is contained inside A bar, B bar, okay? First thing you should observe is that A bar is closed, B bar is closed but A bar, B bar may not be closed, okay? So these are the questions. Now we are going to do something quite deep suddenly, okay? We have everything, every machinery is ready for it. So start with a compact subset and C be a closed subset of it, okay? No other assumptions, K is compact and C is closed, okay? Suppose they are disjoint, then they can be separated by open sets that is just but we can do better namely there exists one single open subset V of V of open neighborhood of A such that Kv that would be neighborhood of K that we know, right? Kv intersection Cv is empty, Kv is a neighborhood of K, Cv will be a neighborhood of C because V is a neighborhood of identity but these are quite large open subsets for that matter but they contain K and C, the intersection is empty. So such a neighborhood of identity I can find. So this is the claim. In particular it will follow that K and C can be separated by open sets. It is similar to normality but far away from normality because I assume K is compact, not a closed set, okay? Not just a closed set. If it is a closed set then this would have to give you normality. So quite near normality it comes, okay? So that is why I am doing this. We are suddenly proving this such strong results. So now do you understand that topological groups, that topology and a topological group has to be special, alright? Though it ranges from discrete to indiscreet, okay? Anything in between but it has to be special, okay? Let us prove this one. If K is empty there is nothing to prove because I can always take, you know K times V when K is empty is just empty set. Empty set intersection anything is empty, that is no problem. So let us assume that K is non-empty. Similarly we can assume that C is non-empty, alright? So I start with X belonging to K that is why I am justifying that let K be non-empty and so on. Take a point X inside K put O equal to X inverse of G minus C. The C is closed so G minus C is open translated by X inverse that is also open. See look at this one, X is a point of point of K, okay? So I am taking K X inverse of this one. So that is an open subset is all that I know, okay? Now from Lemma 5.30 whatever we get a symmetric neighborhood V X of E such that V X X V X V X is contained inside O. See why this is true because O is a neighborhood of identity. Why? Because X is inside K therefore X is inside G minus C because X is not in C. K and C are disjoint that is all, okay? If X is here X inverse of that will contain identity element. So this O is open and it is a neighborhood of identity. You can improve it to get a symmetric neighborhood V X such that V X V X is inside O. So this was part A and B both combined here of this Lemma which we have proved just now. This implies that X times V X V X intersection C is empty. It is contained in the old X inverse of G, right? So this X I bring it on the left here. So what I have? What is G minus C on that side? Okay? So it is contained inside G minus C but intersection with C is empty there, okay? So for each X we have found out X V X V X intersection C is empty. So this already tells you that X A is G is regular that topology is regular. Why? Because suppose you instead of K compact and so on, K if this singleton X was, this K was singleton X, okay? Then if I prove whatever the statement that would be regular and that is all, that is all I have proved. X V X V X is a neighborhood, okay? Contained inside the complement of C. So here itself the proof is over of regularity, okay? So we have already proved that every topological group is regular on the way to proving this lemma, okay? Let us continue.  Because V X is a neighborhood of identity, all right? If you combine this one X V X V X intersection C is empty. Now I can replace V X by U X U X which is smaller neighborhood of and then V X.  So do not go on doing this. Now we have already arrived this one. Now U X is a neighborhood of E, right?   Now one U X on this side I am translating it to the other side, okay?  Out of the three you can translate to the one other side and out of three you can combine two of them and that just take one of them.   We have not yet completed. So one single thing we have done this much. From regularity we have improved it to this much, okay? The same neighborhood here repeated twice comes on the C part also, okay? To prove regularity as I had just the X V X intersection C is empty that was enough, okay? Now we go, now we use the fact that K is compact. So if K is compact there will be finitely many X 1 X 2 X K belong to K such that K is contained inside X I U X I, I did not want to okay? Why? Because these X I U X I X U X or X V in so over K that will cover K and that is an open cover. So out of that you extract a finite cover. Now we put V equal to intersection of U X I because it is finite intersection it is open because E U X I is symmetric. Symmetric means what? Eta of U X I is eta, okay? So intersection will also have that property. It follows that V is symmetric neighborhood of E open neighborhood. Moreover we have K times V is contained inside union of X I U X I I am replacing K by this union times V then I push this V inside the bracket.  But then each U X I V, V is what? V is intersection of all these, right?   So K V is contained inside this one finite union. Therefore if I take the intersection now K V intersection C V I want to show that this is empty, right? That was my finite thing. Look at K V intersection C V. This K V is contained inside this one large thing, okay? So you take this thing intersect with C V push it inside the bracket that is all, okay? So it is union of all these intersections, finitely many of them. But that is contained inside union of X I U X I U X I as it is but C of V what is V? V is intersection of these things which contains the C of U X I. These are larger open sets, okay? But now what are these things? Each of them is empty by the choice. Remember that each of them is empty. I have taken only finite many connection X I's are coming from capital K, okay? So each of them is there are finite many of them anyway. Each of them is empty. So union is empty. So we have proved that a topological group is strongly regular in that sense compact and disjoint close sets. Contract set and the close set can be separated by open sets in a neat way. One single neighborhood of V and its transit K V intersection C V is empty, okay? So I am just subbing it up for posterity. Every topological group is regular that much is fine, all right? So here are some elementary X I U's again. You can work out them. But these are serious examples, serious exercises. If you work them in that order, you will be able to do all of them. So they are built up in that fashion, okay? And then there are some other very nice things happening. I have no time to discuss them fully but we will discuss them provided you show equal interest and come up with some solution, maybe wrong, maybe right, whatever it is. So these are left to use exercises and maybe specifically mentioned assignments, okay? So let us stop here. Next time we will continue the study of the colloquial groups. Thank you.
