Hey Psych2Goers! Are there certain traits that can aid in one's development? Do having particular traits make some people smarter than others? Well, there are a few sets of traits intelligent people have in common. If you find yourself relating to many of these traits, you may just be smarter than you think. Or it's just a coincidence? Research has found that smart people have these six common traits. How many do you have? First up, number one, they're funny. Who doesn't love a joke or two? Turns out smart people seem to be some of the funniest individuals out there. According to a study published in 2011 by psychologist Gil Greengrass and Jeffrey Miller, comedians may have it easier in many ways. The study found that out of 400 student participants, 200 men and 200 women, those who wrote funnier cartoon captions scored better on a test of verbal intelligence. So if you have a bit of humor, it may benefit you in more ways than you think. Number two, you're curious and open to new experiences. Are you curious? Do you enjoy learning about history, about other cultures, or interesting facts? Licensed psychotherapist Christine Scott Hudson told Bustle that intelligent people engage their passions and ask questions like who, what, when, where, how, why, and what if. She explains they're also very open to trying new things. According to 2016 research from researchers Adrienne Fernham and Helen Chang, there's a connection between openness to experience and your intelligence as a kid. The research study used a longitudinal data set of 5,672 adults, followed for 50 years. They found that children aged 11 who had a high score on their IQ test were found to be more open to experience when assessed at the age of 50. They also explained that all of the big five personality traits, openness to experience, is often shown as the strongest correlate of ability, particularly creativity and intelligence. So if you're open to new experiences, you may also happen to have a high IQ as well. Have you heard of Parkinson's law? If you're given a week's time to finish a task that should only take you a day to complete, do you unnecessarily stretch out the task and end up completing it within a week? If so, we'd like to introduce our sponsor on this video, SunSama, an app that helps you organize all of your work into a handy to-do list for the day. They're offering a risk-free two-week trial right now, so go check it out! When you launch the app for the first time for the day, you'll be asked, what do you want to do today? Once you add the tasks that you want to complete, you can customize how much time you want to dedicate to each task and group them into helpful categories. One of their coolest features is that they tell you when you set too much work for the day, or when the number of tasks you set is unrealistic. They'll advise you to defer some of the work for tomorrow so you don't burn yourself out, SunSama uses good heart, Hofstadter, and Parkinson's Law as their principles to enable people to do work better and be more productive. If you like what you heard, use the link down below to get a risk-free two-week trial. Start working smarter, not harder, with SunSama. Number three, they're loners. Are you an introvert? Do you favor the days where you get to spend the evening in pleasant solitude alone in your room? Well, odds are, you're pretty smart. Researchers Norman P. Lee and Satoshi Kanazawa had 15,000 individuals, 18 to 28, take a survey and IQ test. The individuals who were highly intelligent were found to be not as happy with their lives, the more frequently they socialize. Number four, they're highly empathetic. What about emotional intelligence? Many psychologists say that empathy is an important part of high emotional intelligence. If you're open to new experiences, you may just be one who is open and understanding to other individuals' experiences as well, which means you may be high on the empathy scale. If so, your emotional intelligence may just be as great too. Number five, they're often neurotic. Are you anxious? Do you worry? How much? If you worry more than the average Joe, then you may just be smarter than him too, at least when it comes to verbal intelligence. In a 2015 study, researchers had 126 undergraduate students complete questionnaires, indicating how much they worried, ruminated on worrying thoughts and thought about scenarios that upset them. What did they find? Students who often spent time worrying and ruminating on thoughts held a high score in measures of verbal intelligence. Those who didn't worry as much scored higher in non-verbal intelligence. And number six, they're adaptable and recognize when they need to change. Can you adapt while under stress? Can you recognize when you're the one who needs to change a part of yourself in order to achieve your goals? Many psychologists believe adaptability is a sign of intelligence. Robert J. Sternberg, Professor of Psychology and Dean of the School of Arts and Sciences at Tufts University, writes that, psychologists have generally agreed that adapting to the environment is the key to understanding both what intelligence is and what it does. He continues, stating that such adaptation may occur in a variety of settings. A student in school learns the material he needs to know in order to do well in a course. A physician treating a patient with unfamiliar symptoms learns about the underlying disease or an artist reworks a painting to convey a more coherent impression. For the most part, adaptation involves making a change in oneself in order to cope more effectively with the environment, but it can also mean changing the environment or finding an entirely new one. So even if you don't think you're the smartest and perhaps have a hard time on a project or task, you may just need to change your way of thinking. Adapt to this scenario, try a new approach to studying or a creative strategy. Learning to adapt could very well help improve your overall intelligence. Who knows, it may just be the smartest decision you ever make. So, how many of these traits do you have? Let us know in the comments down below.

Hyperledger is committed to creating a safe and welcoming community for all. For more information, please visit our hyperledger.com Here we are for the very last missing of 2020. We have a pleasure to guest Stefan the Mayor and Roland Kurtivo. So guys, I'll leave it to you to have a speech about the electronic promissory, no symbols but to change. So let's have the presentation and have the speech. First of all, welcome to both of you. Nice to have you here this morning. Yeah, thank you very much Andrea, it's a pleasure being here. As Roland mentioned before, I will start showing our electronic promissory notes as a use case for what Roland presents later, the so-called Swiss trust chain. So I think you should see my screen in the back now. Maybe just a few words to myself. As a person, I'm a co-founder and Chief Product Officer of FGX. Otherwise, I'm an attorney at Laudanotri Public in Switzerland. I worked a while in the insurance industry, then I moved to academia for a PhD on blockchain and securities law. So how can you digitally transfer rights by using blockchain-based crypto tokens? And I finished 2018 and then I worked a couple of years with MME, one of the major fintech law firms in Switzerland. And we are around 90 lawyers at MME and 30 of them are purely focused on blockchain and DRT projects. And so a lot of tokenization, DRT trading systems, etc. And now as of 2019, together with my colleagues, I'm focused on one of the most paper-based instruments in the world, the promissory notes. And I'm happy to show you the current status of FGX and how you can use those electronic promissory notes. So the claim is very simple. FGX is an infrastructure provider. We enable corporations to issue sign and transfer those electronic promissory notes, which we call e-notes, therefore making liquidity accessible. And to also show you kind of the overall picture and the starting point for our promissory notes is on the one side the trade finance gap. All of you, I'm quite sure, are fully aware of this the trade finance gap. You have a complex fragmented system in the era of trade finance. It mostly relates to certain jurisdictions. It's also from time to time an outdated infrastructure. So this is the trouble on the one side and on the other side of the investment plight that a lot of, especially institutional investors seeking for investment opportunities. And in the past, especially in the past, we had this very nice and powerful instrument of the promissory note. The promissory note is, as you know, an unconditional promise to pay. And it has several substantial advantages. So first of all, you have a globally standardized legal framework. So the law in regard to promissory note is almost the same, be it in the U.S., be it in Switzerland, be it in Asia or even in Africa. That's due to the fact that this instrument is so old during the time we had a global standardization. Secondly, this instrument is both a payment and a credit instrument. So you can pay by using a promissory note, but it can also be used as a credit instrument. And thirdly, it has a very high level of legal enforceability. That's because of the fact that it's an unconditional promise to pay. So if you use this instrument in a supply chain finance scenario or as an alternative, for example, factoring, it's unrelated to the underlying contract.  And then fourthly, of course, it's simple. As you will see, that's generic and it's a transferable, tradable instrument. So these are the advantages. Then on the other side, in the meanwhile, it almost died out because of these disadvantages. The law prescribed a paper certificate, so you need the paper. You also needed a handwritten signature. You had to send it by post. It was not forgery proof. So in conclusion, it was extremely cumbersome to use those promissory notes. Mainly because of the legal basis and what is now changing is precisely on the one side this legal basis and on the other side also the technology. And now we have some substantial influence or substantial associations and consortia focusing on the digitization of promissory notes and negotiable instruments in general. For example, ITFA has an initiative, BAF, this focusing precisely on this based on Delaware law. So we see now a global tendency in regard to digitization of these instruments. And in the meanwhile, we also have a proper legal basis allowing to issue and transfer those instruments electronically. And as of 2019, we've built an infrastructure and also a platform precisely to issue trade sign and transfer those E-notes. Where can you use those E-notes? That's then the obvious next question. Our focus are not only corporations which still use those promissory notes in trade relations. We are convinced that this promissory note, this E-note, can also replace certain or quite a lot of trade finance approaches currently existing in the area of factoring, reverse factoring, but also in regard to dynamic discounting. It could even be used as a replacement or as a substitute for commercial papers. So we are believe that E-notes have the potential to disrupt certain approaches and on the other side as it's a very simple global instrument, which is also cheap to use. We're convinced that we can wide the global market by providing E-notes. What use cases do we anticipate? So in essence, there are two different use cases we distinguish. On the one side, the trade loan, it's kind of a more corporate, could be a more corporate finance transaction. Here the use case is very simple. You as a corporation, you issue the E-note, you sell it to an investor for a certain discount and then the investor can either wait until due date and then he gets paid or it's a transferable negotiable instrument. He can transfer it to any other party at any time. The other major use case from our perspective, also one of the most promising use cases is below the supply chain finance area. So here you always have an underlying trade relationship, buyer and the supplier and then the buyer in this scenario is issuing an E-note. He's paying its supplier by using this E-note and then the supplier can in an integrated process directly further transfer this E-note to an investor. And from our perspective, that's a win-win-win scenario. So from the perspective of the buyer, what you can do, you have two steering possibilities. On the one hand, you can vary with the due date of the E-note. So the E-note due date can be after the due date of the invoice. So this means you can extend your payment terms and your payment goals very, very flexibly and easily. That's one perspective. Secondly, you can also earn a discount. So E-note face value can be lower than the face value of the E-note. So this is the steering perspective of the buyer. Then the supplier in the middle, he has an obvious interest. He directly receives liquidity. He does not have to wait 30, 60, 90 days depending on the jurisdiction. And then thirdly, the investor on the right side, he holds an unconditional promise to pay. So in contract to factoring where you have to care about the underlying trade contract, whether it was fulfilled or not, you have an unconditional promise to pay with a very high level of legal enforceability. You can enforce it in currently 165 countries in arbitration model and it's a transferable asset. So you can create the originate to distribute model. So you have a lot of flexibility also in this regard. So from our perspective, this instrument, this promissory note in an electronic form has a huge potential for the supply chain finance market. How is our tech base looking like? So as you see here, we are based on what is called the Swiss trust chain. Since it's the Swiss trust chain, Roland will explain this later on in more detail. It's a solution. It's a hyper lecture fabric DLT with notes at Swisscom in the banking zone and Swiss post also in a banking-grade environment. So it's a redundant system. Our users do not have to care about operating their own notes. At the same time, we can say it's a redundant system with a very high level of data integrity. So we have all the advantages of a closed private system with a high level of data integrity and also we have a very trustworthy partners with Swisscom and Swiss post. So every electronic promissory note is stored on this infrastructure. What we also integrated is a qualified electronic signature. So in our case, just click and accept is not sufficient. So we integrated this legal equivalent to the handwritten signature based on the European EIDA standard and every E-note and every transaction is signed by the parties with their respective qualified electronic signature. That's very easy. You receive then on your mobile phone when you sign on the platform a short message, you insert the pin code and then by doing this, all the E-notes are signed by using this signature and you can also even have a mass signing procedure so that you as a major corporation can use 150 E-notes at the same time making it very efficient. Then the last aspect, how can you use our current system? We have three entry points. So on the one side, we have the platform, you can log in on the platform. On the other side, we provide wide label solutions and then thirdly, this is something we do with large German multibillion corporation, we have the possibility to directly from SAP generate the instruments. The nice aspect with SAP is that there is already standard functionality for promissory note, but it's still focused on the paper instrument. So at the end, you have a print template SAP is generating and what we do is we dock in with SAP, which we take this print file and then we convert it to the electronic promissory note and then you come to our system, sign it and then those instruments are transferred to first supplier and then to the investor.  Accounting is automated. The invoices are automatically also marked as paid by promissory note. It directly goes into your payment system so we can provide by using SAP a very high level of automation. Here in regard to the specific aspects of our promissory note, what we, for example, have integrated also is an ISIN number. So especially in the more corporate finance money market sector, an ISIN number can be be valuable for institutional investors. So this facilitates the bookkeeping of the instrument. I quickly mentioned it before, an arbitration framework ensuring that the instruments can be enforced in 165 countries. So the elegant aspect with our E-note is we have one legal framework allowing the electronic issuance and transfer of the instrument. Then we combine it with an arbitration scheme and this arbitration scheme allows then the enforceability of the instrument almost in every country in the world. The last country which ratified the New York convention in this regard was the Kingdom of Tonga. So even in Kingdom of Tonga, you're then able to use this E-note and to enforce it in case that the maker is not paying the deface value. Then maybe the last aspect to where do we stand. We started 2019. We created a prototype for a demo due to a large German car manufacturer. We since then already onboarded a couple of large corporations, especially in Europe but also abroad. We have one Swiss bank which is onboarded on the system. We have a patent pending for the combination of private permission DLT, the way we authorize corporations and how we integrated the qualified electronic signature. One of the next steps is then we will also integrate a global payment service provider. We're now in the step of closing this contract so that we do not only support the title side with the promissory note but also the money side. I think we can skip this here. At this point I suggest I would hand over to you Roland. You are for us a very important person. You're enabling the secure storing of our E-notes on your redundant system at Swisscom and SwissPost. I would hand over to you. Thank you very much. Thank you very much, Stefan, to give me all the chance to present our infrastructure offering we do have. Can you see my screen now? All right so I don't want to do it too long then. All right so yeah what we've done actually just looked it up in Google so it was in December 2018 that we announced this offering in Switzerland. It was December 2018 was the global forum in Basel Switzerland. We announced this private DLT infrastructure so we came together with Post some three years ago and really had this idea to to provide in Switzerland the distributed network so a private permissioned network. We chose Hyperledger Fabric to do this. Today we do have applications running on it so we offer it also for a proof of concepts but also for enterprise applications. It's run in tier four data center so we have this that's like the highest tier you can get so we always talk about enterprise grade it's even bank grade so it's running at post finance that's the financial branch of post of the post group and it's running in Swisscom banking data center so there's two partners and each has two notes so we're having a total of four notes at the moment. We do are in in an evaluation of a third partner so I can also publicly not announce the third partner yet but we are in closed talks with six so the Swiss exchange and there's a good chance that they might join this and this will also add up to give us some more traction than in the market. So any enterprise that is having real special requirements concerning either security data storage regulation can just onboard on our infrastructure so it's open we are open for any international startup for abroad for any enterprise and of course in Switzerland so the data is stored in Switzerland it is we are two trusted party and will soon be three participants in this network it's based on hyperlatch of fabric 1.4 at the moment but we are just in the middle of upgrading the platform so by February we are on hyperlatch of fabric 2.2. Just to give a little bit more insight about what we do in the blockchain sector in general we do we do have a portfolio of services and solutions we are offering what we are looking right now is the Swiss trust team at the very bottom on the left so that's part of our basic infrastructure services one is called Swiss trust chain just presented the next one is a network as a service that's also hyperlatch of fabric it's rather a sandbox it's run by Swisscom only and the third one is known as a service or a gateway we offer to regulated financial institutions to offer coins or access to public chains to their clients and the next layer is a portfolio of solutions we offer I think one that's quite obvious is digital assets so we just launched we've already initiated the roles of Dauro in Switzerland Dauro is a platform share tokenization platforms for share so that's one thing we did and of course we've done quite some some proof of concepts and also projects with digital objects and in combination of IoT smart contracts as well the newest the newest offering we do have is electronic seals so basically you you certify a document on the blockchain and later on in a use case allows a third party to verify the authenticity of this document on the block last but not least also decentralized identity management so for all for all these use cases in this industry if you follow a decentralized approach you definitely need also a solution to handle your identities and of course identity related data so for that we have a product that is called SSI gate if you would be interested in that one please let me know all right just to give you that's I guess that's the last slide and I just put our references and projects that we did that we did and that we do at the moment on this Swiss trust chain just put them together on a on the slide right here so the third one we've just been looking into fqx and their promissory note the e-note we've just seen this one the first one I mentioned that's daughter that's a digital share platform for share registry for capital increase and also voting or proxy services in terms of general assembly or mayor an interesting customer we do have out of the energy sector so switzman is pushing hard for decentralized energy production and for that our mayor is offering a platform also for automated billing one from the public sector so that's the content up to a thousand what we did there is really to to as today we are offering this document verification service so that was the first proof of concept we did with the online debt collection register extract so just imagine that you want to want to rent an apartment for example and you need you need an extract of your debt collection two projects we are running right now so to prove of concepts that are not are not running on the platform yet but or in development one is what we call green coin a very interesting initiative we are keen really to see this coming out of of the dark and really go live that's a sustainable marketplace that in combination with a near marked stable coin back to the swiss frank the objective there is really to reducing carbon dioxide emissions so a green coin which of course offers the possibility then to just to multiply this and just imagine you would have a near marked stable coin for regional or local products could be the same intention when and the last one the trust wallet or the civil wallet so that's a digital wallet we would like to to offer in switzerland of course for personal documents like driving license or a vaccination or a certificate and then of course i mean if you look at all these initiatives especially the last two you would have a green coin or a stable coin or a near marked stable coin you would have a trusted trust wallet for personal documents you add this up with for example the aura where you would have a tokenized shares if you bring this all together i think that's our vision to have all tokenized objects tokenized objects shares and and documents all in one place so that's really the vision we have yeah that's all from my side i guess we would be open to also get some questions from from all our participants if that's okay it is thank you roland thank you stefan it was very nice and very interesting presentations from both of you do anybody would like to make questions to stefan and to roland all right any burning questions something you want to know maybe also some uh yes i have a question is uh thank you for this very interesting um do you have experience on from a legal point of view how how you convince uh companies you if they go to court um to have the same validity as as paper right and i'm asking because that's something i i used to face myself yes that's an that's an excellent question so we first have chosen our legal framework very carefully also the three out of four co-founders or attorneys at law focus some of them have very reputable in the area of securities law so this is one aspect and then we wanted to avoid the situation that for example a local italian court would have done to check the legal validity of an instrument which might be based on a certain us state law and that's why we combine those instruments with an arbitration clause so every e-note has an arbitration clause the arbitration is then based in switzerland and the nice aspect of this arbitration framework is that there's a new york convention from 1958 on the enforceability of an arbitral awards and this convention has been ratified by currently 165 countries so therefore it's a very easy process if you're holder of this uh unconditional promise to pay you first go to the arbitrer and then as it's unconditional you just have to prove that the other party the maker has not paid then you received the arbitral award and this award can then be enforced as a state court decision in all of those 165 countries and therefore you have a process which also facilitates the enforcement and that making the the instruments be usable on a global scale so that's in essence that's also based substantially on the arbitration model uh you know the last just as a last point i also have to highlight that we are this e-note it's not a contractual rule-based model so there are certain projects also in the market they create those contractual relationships and then you contractually define you both handle the instrument as it were a promissory note but we are really using the the proper legal basis for this instrument and that's also an advantage. Did it answer your question? No it does so you're not following the English law you have this arbitration. Yes based on the on UK law it's at the moment not possible to transfer those instruments electronically. Okay interesting. Where it is focusing on on the moment they also intend to to change UK law we have a different legal basis more focused on the US but as you combine it with those global enforcement scheme you can you really use it on a global scale so we do not have to wait until UK adopted any changes in law in regard to electronic negotiable instruments. Lovely thank you. Stefan one thing i would like to ask you we're talking about promissory notes which are usually you know the instrument on which open accounts are based especially when an ECA steps in the picture what about bills of exchange do you deal with those instruments as well? Yes that's and that's also a very very good question. At the beginning we intended to of course support both bills of exchange and promissory notes then based on our extended legal analysis of the underlying legal basis we decided to focus on promissory notes first because there are some legal advantages which you have in regard to promissory notes which are not existing for bills of exchange however in our supply chain finance scenario based on the flow we implemented you can use the promissory note as a bill of exchange it's just you you have it first issued from the maker in this case usually the buyer to the supplier and then you have an endorsement then to the investor so but you can use this this instrument in precisely the same constellation as a bill of exchange and that's one last point to add in recent time we will also be able to support a real bill of exchange you're muted Andrea. Sorry didn't notice that sorry I was asking these because under different scenarios you know some countries that do not recognize promissory notes others they don't with bills of exchange it's quite patchwork in terms of scenario and often you require to issue drafts which means bills of exchange basically went under a documentary credit outlook that's why I was asking this you know it's not the same thing you know. Yes sir. Yeah I mean here here we're also a bit dependent on the legal basis there's also this one initiative from Unzitral with the model on electronic transferable record so there we also will have an additional legal basis we can use and this is an involvement which yeah in the future we're convinced that there are a lot of different legal frameworks we can use to to issue and transfer those instruments electronically. Tell us to convince everybody to adopt those model laws which you know. Yes precisely that's the challenge at the moment as far as I know it's just a parade which adopted this this model law and there are a lot of other countries intending it but. But at the moment just one. Yes precisely yeah. On the basis of the place and the attendance. Right any other questions? He insisted to know something from myself or from Stefan. Just answered one on education so I hope that this helps you. All right well I guess everyone's happy with the content we provided so that's good. We personally we are happy I mean thanks for the presentation. Interesting one so you show them. All right maybe a general question so how do you see 2020 and going into 2021 in terms of blockchain and your adoption you're seeing the kind of traction you're getting and what are the challenges. Okay so what do you want to know 2022 or 2021. 2021 or 2022 whatever right so how are you seeing. Okay traction how do you see we see we think we've gone five-year journey where are we on this journey from your perspective. From my point of view I guess okay we did have some sort of a little bit of a halt now you can say in the whole development of the market of course due to this COVID-19 crisis that's quite obvious so a lot of we've seen just some real specific cases like this vaccination certificate for example that was really a big news and everything but besides this of course the market slowed down a little bit in general but besides this I think I think what we see is that that the period now or really the hyper is this hype curve. I think what we've seen is really a lot of I would say building of consortium what we've seen is really technical proof of concepts also some solving or some proof of concepts turning around legal aspects just one outlined by Stefan and then of course what we see now is really that the try and error period is over so I think what we see what we will see in the near future definitely next year and then the year after I will expect to see more projects and then real cases going productive that will add value to the users so really adding value and also I think we've solved the technologies if you have think today it's not a big deal to have a chain running up and running to tokenize some objects I think we've solved some English especially in Switzerland like I think we have the lawmakers in Switzerland I think they're very fond now of this technology we're moving forward there so I don't see too much obstacles in this area but where I still see the biggest challenge is really the the nice use cases the good business models really also players stakeholders giving the chance to to earn money because blockchain basically is an efficiency case and and then of course where also I see a potential is really if you combine blockchain with other deep tech so let's say you will see more cases with blockchain or BLT combining with IoT to really make make these transactions you save on the blockchain to make them measurable so whatever you put on the blockchain you could say okay it's somehow measured it's verified and the same goes for blockchain and AI so whatever you can't measure out there at least you can validate this with some sort of AI mechanism so that's my point if you maybe Stefan you want to add yeah to to add in in this regard I fully agree with what's you but you described Roland I think the the market has been consolidating within the last month maybe even even years I think you know in the meanwhile if you're using a BLT or a blockchain the hype period this is obviously over so you really have to focus on the the use case and it's not just that you're using a blockchain that that you will be successful and in in our in our case we we see this quite direct I mean our customers are mainly large global corporations maybe even also financial institutions and investors on the other side and they do not care whether we use a blockchain they just care whether it's a secure whether it's easy whether you really fulfill an economic need whether it's a purpose so this I think these projects will be successful which are very close to a real commercial use case and you have to weigh up between a visionary but you will achieve three five maybe even seven years ahead and what you really can provide in in short time yeah I think that's the so I think there's still too much hype really to say okay there's blockchain in it and to be honest I completely right users don't care so nobody really cares today if you say okay I bought the book on Amazon and it's based on the internet so people say yeah that's nice we know it would be probably the same like in in in five years people would say deal in blockchain yeah it's it's it's there it's here to stay and it's here to be used so see see the same I guess one other challenge is really interoperability didn't mention that one so I guess we still have a lot of technologies and and not to forget it's not only the the intra chain mechanisms that somehow we have to solve so we will definitely also I mean these legacy systems all the ERP systems and there's they're also here to stay they will not they will not go away quickly just so so there we will have the rich the new world and the old world same same for that one and trust I think trust is still I mean blockchain somehow solves the trust gap that we have in all these electronic real-time transaction and and trust will will even the need for trust for trustful networks will increase I think in the time that we are right now we see a lot of fraud happening we see a lot of cyber security initiatives going on so trust will definitely the need for trust will definitely increase yeah any other question Roland you touch very can you hear me Roland no sorry Roland yeah can you hear me now better you you touch very good points I mean when you mentioned the interaction between blockchain artificial intelligence and I would say that's very good points uh sticking to trade and trade finance I mean this is uh would be in my opinion the real deal connected also with the interoperability you just have lots of initiatives but they have to talk to each other let's say so in an efficient way uh in order to recreate what's going on in the physical world right now so the secret maybe recipe is a good mixture of those issues that she mentioned without violating what is the present SESA slash based on abstractness and you know in independence principles that has always been my core interest you know being on the on the legal and commercial side of the of international trade the secret will be when all these I mean a good point success in the future will be the interactions of these technologies without you know not disrupting but evolving the present SESA in a digital way so you you touch very good points when you when you include your speech I mean I do appreciate these secrets over there the future lies in the interaction of these technologies blockchain is a good point it's a good technology but alone you cannot solve the whole stuff the whole problem yeah it has to interact yeah I mean it's just a very efficient way it's a very efficient way to have a trustful network to just store um you can say tempo proof transactions so that's basically it and the rest has to be solved by other technologies right all right so yeah there's no more question I guess for me and Stéphane we would also thank you for participating and yeah to really share your interest together with us I'm just curious actually maybe just one thing is how if anyone's interested I'm from and serves at Swisscom and at QX is how would people get in contact with you have what what kind are you looking for a you're sharing today what kind of connections do you want to make or your just so the Stéphane goes first I just type in my email address in here so probably Stéphane can just answer I'm very happy to connect both via LinkedIn I will also provide my email address and we can also have a bilateral zoom call or conversations if you see any angles to another case you are working on at the moment so we're very happy to to also exchange ideas to uh it's to become challenged so I am I'm very happy to to exchange also doesn't necessarily need to be in regard to uh promissory notes or negotiable instruments but also any uh DLT angle in general yeah for me it's quite short so the presentation I was showing and we're interested um really make our offering if anyone really wants to take advantage of our offering whether it's in infrastructure and running applications enterprise great blockchain applications they were just using one of our building blocks on top like the one I mentioned with the electronic seal for documents for example or or tokenization of assets and feel free to contact me and or one of my colleagues in in Swiss blockchain ecosystem yeah great all right I think that's it thank you all right wrap it up great thank you every do we say goodbye we just meeting leave and give you another 10 minutes just for some work group internals huh yeah have a great Christmas everybody thank you cheers bye cheers bye

As you probably know, H3H3 Productions or H3H3 is a mega famous YouTube channel and it's run by husband and wife teen Ethan and Hila Klein. They have multiple channels at the moment including H3H3 Productions, H3 Podcast obviously for their podcast, H3 Podcast highlights in one called Ethan and Hila which acts as their vlog channel. Each of these has over 2 million subs and the main channel has over 6.5 mil at the time of this recording. H3H3's content is mostly reaction style videos and comedy sketches and they're all well known for making fun of internet culture and trends. On their podcast they do interviews, usually celebs, some of which can get pretty dramatic too. Clearly this couple has experienced quite the success over the last few years and at the time Ethan is 34 years old and Hila is 31. They also just recently had a son named Theodore and have two Yorkies Shredder and Alfredo, so their family is growing. Both Ethan and Hila are of Jewish background, however Ethan was born in California while Hila was born in Israel and only recently became an American citizen in September of this year. He was actually in the military pre-Youtube and met Ethan when he was visiting Jerusalem at the Holocaust Museum. The couple ended up marrying in 2012 just a year after starting H3H3. At the time they lived in Tel Aviv, Israel. But these days it seemed like they've settled down and chose a multi-million dollar mansion in Bel Air to call home. From the photos this place looks pretty impressive and some fans are shocked that the couple decided to purchase something so fancy. I guess maybe they got the impression that Ethan and Hila were more modest than that. Hey, I'm Tara and today we're doing another house tour here on Famous Entertainment. We're going to look at where Ethan and Hila client of H3H3 call home and what their new 9 million dollar mansion in Bel Air is like. We've also done house tours on the likes of the Ace Family and on Justin and Haley Bieber and we'll have links to those at the end of this. I've also been reading all your comments and I'm going to be responding to some at the end of this video. I need you to let me know who to do next in the comments down below and whose home you'd like to see. Now let's get into this video. So before we look at the mansion the H3H3 couple splurged on, let's get a background of all the moving around they've done. First of all, before they got married, Ethan and Hila allegedly moved back and forth between Israel and LA more than a couple of times due to Hila not being an American citizen yet and her visa expiring. I need some new AdSense payment here so please spread the word about my channel. I've got some repairs around the house, they really need to get worked on so spread the word guys. I need another payment here, I need a new shirt and a couple of repairs so let's just get this done here okay. At one point in 2014 the couple was even evicted from their place and had to move in with Hila's parents, still in Israel. Look around you can see the boxes here we're being evicted, we're moving, we're being forced to move out in about 10 days, I'm short notice, we can't afford the rent, we've got no money left and we're moving to a smaller apartment and my parents love the house. Which they clearly made a vlog about and they were certainly not even close to living in the lavish mansion that they are now. In 2015 Ethan and Hila moved back to LA then later on in the same year they moved to New York City. Getting close to done here guys. The nightmare is almost over. Can't believe it. It's been a crazy year. Yeah. It's been a crazy year here in New York City, it's been good to us but it's not really hitting me that we're leaving yet. Yeah I know it's so weird. That lasted a year and in 2016 they recorded that video and moved back to LA where they're still living now and I'm guessing where they're going to stay. I mean with the nine million dollar mansion they just purchased I don't think the couple is planning to go anywhere. Besides this mega mansion records show that the clients still own a home in Encino California that they bought for 2.3 million last year and a smaller home in Woodland Hills California that they bought in 2017 for 780K. So their real estate portfolio seems like it's come a long way since living with their parents. So now we're going to take a look at the Bel Air mansion the H3H3 fam started to recently call home. Compared to their other real estate purchases this one seems to be a step above anything Ethan and Hila previously owned. The couple spent 9 million on this big and fancy mansion in Bel Air Los Angeles. In case you didn't know Bel Air is a neighborhood in the west side of LA around the Santa Monica Mountains. You won't find a home that isn't in the multi-million dollar ballpark here with some even listed for sale at over 50 million. I even saw one for 225 million. I didn't even know that was a thing. Definitely a spot for the rich and famous. Ethan and Hila's home is across the street from NBA legend Jerry West so they have some well-known neighbors. The mansion is 3 floors and over 7500 square feet with 6 bedrooms and 7.5 baths. The property is also inside a 24-7 guarded and gated community so the growing family is sure to have plenty of privacy. The house was built in 2005 and aside from the bedrooms and bathrooms there are formal living and dining rooms, a lounge or media room, maze quarters, a large and modern kitchen, and a 3-car garage. Looking at photos you can see there's a lot of open concept space and windows to let in plenty of natural light. Of course Ethan and Hila's master bedroom includes a gorgeous en suite bathroom and large walk-in closet as well. I'm sure one of the 6 bedrooms will be for baby Theodore. I mean they even have enough rooms for the pups to have one. The design inside the couple's mansion looks like it's been recently renovated and modern looking with exposed wood beams, wood accents and lots of white tones. Apparently it's supposed to be a mix between traditional and contemporary. In the family room there are also views directly to the pool thanks to the large glass walls. Moving outside of the H3H3 mansion the property has a gorgeous pool of course because what's the point otherwise? There's also a separate spa and a one bedroom guest house. Although the lot isn't huge there's still a pretty big yard with plenty of green space. Like I said Ethan and Hila have definitely made quite the upgrade since their humble beginnings. This place is fancy and some fans may even say a little too fancy for the couple. But I'm sure they're pretty pleased with their new home and the massive size is perfect for their growing family. We also know that the H3H3 crew has a studio where they film their podcast and hold their many interviews but it doesn't seem to be at their current house. What? I didn't know we could do that. Party. So this is the studio. What up? This is it. What do you think Hila? Is it gonna work? And if it is at one of their homes it's certainly not the current Baler mansion. This is the setup. We've never showed the studio before. But um... You wanna tell them what we're doing here? Oh should we do it? Should we explain? So this is kind of exciting. We haven't talked about it but let's do this. So we moved the desk here. We're gonna have a television there for when we live stream. You can see what we're talking about. Let's show them the secret.  Put it right here. And then the camera will be down there. And then Hila will just stand... She'll just stand right there. In this video, fans say that the studio is in their home but if it is I'm not sure. If you guys know where the H3HV studio is let me know down in the comments. Ethan and Hila Klein of H3H3 have clearly done well for themselves and good enough to afford a $9 million mansion in Baler. In addition to the money they earned from their multiple successful YouTube channels and their podcast, they also have a clothing line. Their apparel company Teddy Fresh has brought the couple a fair amount of success too and gained a strong cult following since it was released back in 2017. So there's a few pretty good income streams I'm sure. Let's not forget that Ethan and Hila apparently still own two other properties in California and although they aren't necessarily mansions they still count as investments and nice additions to any real estate portfolio. From getting evicted at one point while living in Israel living at Hila's parents' house and bouncing from place to place it seems like the Klein family has come a long way. I think as long as their podcast and YouTube channels stay successful, which I'm pretty sure they will then the couple will just keep living the good life. I want to know what you guys think about Ethan and Hila's new house. Is it too fancy for them or perfect for their new family? Okay guys, now it's time for me to read out some of your comments from previous videos. This one was from her before and after we did a while back on Dove Cameron, Zubita said, I think these comments are crazy.  She could have gotten plastic surgery because she was insecure and unhappy not because she had to. However, I'm not so sure you're allowed to have a nose job at 15. I agree, Zubita. I think Dove looks pretty and sweet either way but the nose job does seem like it was a little young. Hollywood can be crazy. On our Kim K house tour, Pam Johnson said, This house is sad. I think a lot of you guys agreed with me that Kim's house seemed a little bit empty. I would say that that's the consensus. And finally, Samantha McShann said on our Kris Jenner house tour, I just love her taste and her Florida home is a beautifully amazing escape but her primary home is a wonderful comfort zone. Just amazing. I love her style above all. That's a sexy glam in my book. You go KKJ. And she also said she would love to see Robert Kardashian's home in the decor. I agree, Samantha. I love Kris. Especially her first home out of the three and her style as well. I'll definitely put Rob on my list too and then we would have seen the whole family's homes. Alright guys, that's all I could find on Ethan and Hila of H3H3's Bella Manchin. What was your favorite part of their house? Don't forget to let me know some other celebrity homes you want me to do a tour on and follow me on Instagram if you want to chat more. I'll see you next time with some new videos. Bye.


Inscription, Christ born of Mary, discovered. When Jesus tells us that he is the light of the world, is this literal? And if so, what exactly does it mean? If you consider that Jesus is speaking from God and for God and as God, a separation from a dark period to the end of that period when a light was no longer where it once was. Jesus announces he is the light that once shone in the sky, and of course we mostly live in darkness and with darkness in our heart. We have limited capacity to understand who we are or what we see in the world, but the beauty of our humanity is still evident. The story of Jesus is embedded within an event perceived in the minds of earth observers. His existence is not questioned and his belief is widespread. In 2,000 years after he was born, time still revolves around about his existence, crucified by men who feared him. According to a popular tradition, paradise had been situated at Jerusalem as the cosmic center, as Adam's skull was buried beneath Galgotha in the wake of the deluge, at the very spot where the crucifix was erected afterwards. This earliest ancestor was conveniently baptized by the blood of the Redeemer. Therefore, the book of Adam and Eve has Noah commanding his son to lay the body of Adam in the midst of the earth, for in that self-same place shall God work salvation for the whole world. The Apologist Irenaeus expanded on the cosmic dimensions of the Nazarene's cross. For it is right that he being made visible should set upon all things visible the sharing of his cross, that he might show his operation of visible things through a visible form. For he it is who illuminates the height that is the heavens, and encompasses the deep which is beneath the earth, and stretches and spreads out the length from east to west, and steers across breadth of north and south, summoning all that are scattered in every quarter to the knowledge of the Father. Like other symbols of the universal column, the Christian cross was sometimes viewed as a bridge or ladder that quite literally enabled human souls to ascend to God, assimilated from much earlier Egyptian religion. It was stationed at the sacred center of the world as a fourth-century chronicler states. This tree, wide as the heavens itself, has grown up into heaven from the earth. It is an immortal growth and towers twist heaven and earth. It is the fulcrum of all things and the place where they are at rest. It is the foundation of the round world, the center of the cosmos. In it all the diversities and our human nature are formed into a unity. It is held together by invisible nails of the spirit so that it may not break loose from the divine. It touches the highest summit of heaven and makes the earth firm beneath its foot, and it grasps the middle regions between them with its immeasurable arms. According to the Jerusalem Post, an Islamic inscription bearing the name of Jesus Christ has just been unearthed in Israel. Wait till you hear this. The 1500-year-old inscription rendered in ancient Greek reads, Christ born of Mary, as it was unearthed in northern Israel. The antiquities authority of Israel have announced. Archaeologists discovered the inscription engraved at the entrance of an impressive building from the Byzantine or earlier Islamic period, featuring mosaic pavements decorated with a geometric design. History is written by the victors of war, and this revokes the falling civilization's right to be remembered. Religion, however, will remember important figures and martyrdom across the whole fledged region. Spreading sporadically thereafter as the offer of forgiveness and life after death overwhelmingly appeals to our very being. The state of our belief today is the result of these attractions. The finding was unveiled in a salvage excavation ahead of the construction of a road inside the village of Taiba, with one archaeologist working on the site exclaiming, We did not know what to expect ahead of the work, but we knew that this was an area where archaeological remains had been found in the past. When we came across the inscription, we knew we had a church, but the discovery of the Christ inscription has gotten us all positively excited. It states that Christ was born of Mary. The full inscription reads that whoever enters should pray for them, and according to religious experts, the inscription greets those who enter and blesses them. It is therefore clear that the building is a church and not a monastery. Churches greeted believers at their entrance while monasteries tended not to do this. The words Christ born of Mary were widely used at the beginning of documents and other forms of text, serving as a blessing and a protection from evil. As a blessing, the inscription must have originally stood at the entrance of the church, where people could see it. However, it was now found incorporated in the walls. Therefore, we know that the stone was reused as construction material. Likely the building collapsed and was rebuilt. This is the first evidence of the Byzantine church's existence in the village of Taiba and adds to other findings attesting to the activities of Christians who lived in the region. Taiba itself was a Christian village in the Byzantine period, 5th to 7th centuries, and later became the site of a crusader fortress, but the modern-era village grew around it, with much of the ancient remains still visible. That is all for now, but we do hope you enjoyed the show today, and we leave you guys with a reading from the passage of Andrew, which reads, I know thy mystery, O cross, thou reaches unto heaven, that thou mayest point towards the Logos, who will come from above. Thou art stretched out to the right and left, so that thou mayest put the fearful forces of the enemy to flight and gather together the whole world. Thou art made fast in the depths of the earth, so that thou mayest unite with heaven all that which is upon the earth, and all that is beneath it. O cross, thou art planted in the earth, but barest fruit in heaven. O name of the cross, that containest within thyself the whole world, hail to thee, O cross, that thou holdest the cosmos together up to the utmost boundaries thereof.


Hello, and welcome to this presentation of the STM32 QBMX Code Generation Tool. It covers the main features of this tool, which is used to configure and generate code, compile and debug, and estimate power consumption for the STM32 family of microcontrollers. While this presentation is specifically about the STM32 MP1 microprocessor, STM32 QBMX is a common platform to the whole STM32 family. However, the feature set available for an MPU-class device is different. The STM32 QBMX application helps developers using STM32 microcontrollers through a user interface that guides the initial configuration of a firmware project. It provides the means to configure pin assignments, the clocked tree, integrated peripherals, and simulate the power consumption of the resulting project. It uses a rich library of data from the STM32 microcontroller portfolio. The application is intended to ease the initial phase of development by helping developers select the best product with regards to features and power. The user interface is built around a natural workflow of choosing a suitable MCU, selecting the required peripherals, and assigning pin configurations. The power consumption calculator aids in designing an efficient system. Finally, the project initialization code can be generated and potentially regenerated while keeping the user code intact. Download the STM32 QBMX installer for free from the ST website and install it. Then set your preferences in the settings menu. One menu for the updater and library download, Alt plus S, the other menu for code generation and integration with development tool chains, Alt plus P. Once this setup is completed, a new project can be created. If the internet connection is configured correctly, the tool can update itself as well as the code libraries used for generating the project workspaces. Use the install new libraries option, Alt plus U, to download additional STM32 cube libraries, or retrieve older versions for interoperability reasons. However, note that the STM32 QBMX tool is not tested with all historical library releases, and new library releases may not work correctly with old tool versions. The MCU selector window will come up after selecting the new project option. If the user knows which MCU to use, it can be found quickly. If not, the available products can be filtered based on the specific requirements. The next step is to select the peripherals to be used and, where applicable, assign pins to their inputs and outputs. Independent GPIOs can also be configured. Signals are assigned to default pins, but they can be transferred to alternate locations, which are displayed by control clicking on the pin. For example, when the I2C1 peripheral is enabled, the tool automatically assigns it to the default pins. The tool automatically takes into account most bonds between the peripherals and software components it manages. As more pins are reserved for their alternate functions, the choice of remaining configurations for other peripherals decreases. The limitations are indicated by icon changes on other peripheral nodes. Left-click on the pin to display its alternate functions. Right-click on the pin to name or select the pin assignment. If a pinout is selected without a particular peripheral enabled, or if there is any other problem with the pinout, the pin turns orange instead of green. There are different possible states for peripheral modes. Dimmed. The mode is not available because it requires another mode to be set. Place the mouse pointer over the dimmed mode to see the reason. It may require a disabled clock source or may have other peripheral dependencies. Yellow. The mode is available with limitations because some options are blocked by conflicts. For example, the use art may not be configured to synchronous mode because all the selectable clock pins are taken. Red. Signals required for this mode cannot be mapped to the pinout. This may occur, for example, if a crucial signal has all its alternate pins used by other peripherals. Signals can be set or moved directly from the pinout view. Click on the pin to display the list of possible signals and select one. This works for GPIOs which have no peripherals assigned. To see alternate pins for a signal, hold the control key and click on the signal. You can then drag and drop the signal to the new pin while holding the control key. It is not necessary to manually set all unused pins to analog. There is a semi-automated step that does this. When configuring a peripheral, most important is to decide what boot step and arm core it is assigned to. That determines what code is generated for it. Not all IPs are available for each mode. The dialogue window shows basic parameters, dependencies, and constraints. Simple dropdown menus are used when applicable. Interrupts priorities can only be set in the NVIC settings tab. The peripheral window can only be used to enable or disable each interrupt. The DMA settings tab contains all the parameters for DMA requests relevant for initialization, but runtime parameters, such as start address, are not managed here. GPIO settings tab is used to define GPIO parameters and features, pin filtering, and the possibility to label each signal for easy identification. A central location with an easy to understand overview of available and enabled interrupts, along with their priorities, is another advantage of STM32 Cube MX. This window is used to enable interrupts for selected peripherals and to configure the priorities. Select the tab for the corresponding DMA channel and click the add button to add a DMA request for the specified peripherals. Verify all configuration options. Note that this configures a DMA channel, but does not fully describe a DMA transfer. This must be done in the application code. The GPIO tab in the pin configuration window facilitates the configuration and initialization settings for each pin. Each pin is listed in table format, which provides an overview of the pin configuration along with its user label. Sort, search, and apply modifications to selected pins using dropdown menus. Default values assigned by the tool are safe, but may not work with certain peripheral configurations. Check that the GPIO speed selected by the tool is sufficient for the peripheral communication speed and that an internal pull-up is selected where needed. To assign the settings faster, try selecting groups of pins rather than configuring pins individually. Use tabs to get pin groups dedicated to specific peripherals. Note that settings applied during initialization can be modified during runtime, but that is outside the scope of the STM32 Cube MX tool. Each middleware software component has options that are different, but they are all presented in a similar fashion, giving easy access to initialization options and providing informative descriptions. The configuration tab of the main window provides an overview of all the configurable hardware and software components that STM32 Cube MX can help set up. Each button with access to configuration options is displayed with a small icon indicating the configuration state. The default state is not configured. Clicking on a button for a peripheral or middleware displays its configuration options. Even when configured correctly, further modifications are possible. Warning signs provide notifications about incorrect configurations and the peripheral will not work if code is generated in this state. Critical errors are represented by a red X and the configuration must be modified to continue. To add more peripherals and components, return to the Pinout tab. The Clock Configuration tab provides a schematic overview of the clock paths, along with all clock sources, dividers, and multipliers. Actual clock speeds are visible. Active and enabled clock signals are highlighted in blue. Drop-down menus and buttons serve to modify the actual clock configuration. If a configured value is out of bounds, it immediately turns red to highlight a problem. It also works the other way. Enter the required clock speed in a blue frame and the software will attempt to reconfigure multipliers and dividers to provide the requested value. Right-click on a clock value in blue to lock it to prevent modifications. When all inputs, outputs, and peripherals are configured, the code is ready to be generated. First, check the settings in the Project menu of the main window. STM32 Cube HAL Initialization Code is generated for the ARM M-Core, DTS for the ARM Application Core. One of the several supported development tools can be selected to take over the generated project, including tool chains from Keele, IAR, and Atalic. User code must be kept between the constraints of the user code comment blocks in order for the initialization settings to be modified using STM32 Cube MX without affecting the custom code. This window is available when saving the project, save as. The tool chain folder refers to where the workspace for the tool chain will be placed, not the actual tool chain application location. A limited version of this dialog window is also available using the Alt plus P shortcut to display project settings. The STM32 Cube HAL library may be associated with the project in different ways. Select the copy option if the project should be migrated as a compact package, or if there is a need to customize the library code. Keeping the library in the original location makes it easier to share the latest version of the library among several projects. It can also generate the initialization code for all peripherals together in the STM32 MP1XX HAL MSP.C file, or generate one file per peripheral. Options to backup or delete old files are a matter of the preferred workflow. Keep in mind that the options are tied to the regeneration function. This is also where the keep user code when regenerating option is enabled. The set all free pins as analog setting helps lower power consumption, but if the SWD JTAG interface is not specifically selected in the pinout tab, this option will disable the debug interface. Full assert enables checking the parameters passed to the HAL functions and may help reveal some bugs in the user code without an excess debugging effort. The user interface is a great tool. It is a universal assistant for all STM32 microcontrollers. However, it cannot tackle all the details of each product while providing a useful overview of the diversified STM32 portfolio. In case of doubt, please refer to the reference manual or data sheet for more detailed and accurate information. Do not hesitate to read the application notes and examples to learn more. It is common practice to start an application with STM32 cube MX to quickly get a prototype working and then modify the code when dynamic changes are needed, typically to support a different clock or a new GPIO configuration in the same application. If the user wrote the code within the user areas defined by the STM32 cube MX generator, it is possible to revert to the initial STM32 cube MX setup when some modifications are needed at the top level of user interface. This typically involves adding GPIO pin configurations, selecting another clock, or changing the NVIC priority, for example. When developing embedded applications, low power consumption is often the primary design goal. Extracting power consumption levels from data sheets is a time-consuming and tedious job. The power consumption calculator attempts to simplify this task by exporting referenced values from the data sheet to a smart graphic tool, producing informative estimates from configurable use cases. For external memory timing settings, an automated DDR memory tester is also available. The power consumption calculator can estimate the battery lifetime used as either main or supplementary power supplies. Sequences can easily be imported and exported. Illegal state transitions are detected too. It is even possible to compare sequence executions of two different MCUs or MPUs and generate a report. The power consumption calculator is the fourth tab in the STM32 cube MX main window. The window is divided into several panes. The general configuration pane summarizes the typical operating conditions and the MCU type currently selected. The second pane displays the simulation sequence and its controls. There is no button to execute the simulation. The results are available instantaneously. The general PCC configuration pane is mostly informative, summarizing the selected MCU and the default power source. Parameters such as temperature and voltage may even be defined depending on the MCU selected and the available power consumption data. The battery selection pane is used to select or define a battery type. The battery source is optional and, if defined, may be used in only selected sequence steps, simulating a device that works both independently and connected to an external power source. Information and help sections include useful notes for the user. The sequence table defines a series of steps with different durations and configurations. Its length is virtually unlimited. Sequences can be loaded, modified and reused. Individual steps can be duplicated and repositioned within the sequence using the user interface. If enabled, all state transitions are checked against basic validity rules to prevent illegal jumps in frequency or power ranges. Problematic steps are instantly highlighted in the sequence table. Click the show log button to display a detailed explanation. The compare feature displays a comparison of the power and performance in the current scenario with a saved sequence. Different configurations, including different MCUs, can be evaluated against each other. A power step can be added or edited in this dialogue window. If the transition checker is enabled, it will preset the new step with allowed values. The power step is determined by several characteristics, with the power mode being the most important. The availability and characteristics of each power mode are described in the specific reference manual or data sheet. Power mode selection has the most significant impact on the availability of other settings, interfaces and power performance balance. The voltage regulator sets the core voltage. At lower voltages, the system clock frequency is limited, but the power consumption is often dramatically reduced. Refer to the data sheet for more details. The address from which the instruction is fetched and the related settings can also influence the power consumption and available clock speeds. The supply voltage for which power consumption is calculated. Use the nearest possible value if the actual voltage is not available. The last option is present to exclude cases when the device is, for example, connected to the USB in battery drain mode. To learn more about power modes, refer to the system power control module training presentation. The power consumption calculator features powerful presentation tools. Click on the EXT display button to display the report in a separate window. There are many different ways available to plot the current consumption estimates in graphical form. The default method is based on the power step sequence and the consumption over time. Alternatively, the percentage of energy spent in different modes can be charted. The pie chart may show the share of each mode or split to only display run and low power modes. It is also possible to split the power consumption of peripherals and plot their power requirements in a graph. You can plot digital peripherals only, analog peripherals only or a mixed view with both. The following three slides are a brief introduction to a new STM32 CubeMX feature. So far, specific to the STM32 MP1-MPU. It is the ability to configure, test, and fine-tune a connection to a standard external DDR memory. The following three slides are a brief introduction to a new STM32 CubeMX feature. So far, specific to the STM32 MP1-MPU. It is the ability to configure, test, and fine-tune a connection to a standard external DDR memory. Unlike the other function of the STM32 CubeMX, the DDR test configuration requires a physical board connection and a binary to load. A basic U-boot SPL binary image is available in the starter package. The connection may be a simple ST-Link virtual COM port or VCP when a discovery board is used. To test a user-specific board, the default port used by the U-boot SPL for connection is the UART4 port. This function provides easy means to execute various tests to detect and identify possible failures in the dynamic memory. Both basis and stress tests are available in the U-boot SPL and executable from the STM32 CubeMX suite. The DDR tuning is a semi-automated process used to determine fine settings of the DDR memory interface and compensate for unequal route length and other factors. See application notes AN5168 and AN5122 for further details. A more detailed description is also available in the STM32 CubeMX documentation. A file with the extension .IOC contains the static initialization settings. The power sequence is saved using the .PCS extension. A PDF report is generated along with simplified text and a separate JPEG image file with pinout. For more information about using the STM32 CubeMX code generation tool, the documents listed in this slide are available for download on www.st.com. Thank you.


In this video we'll be discussing the process of evolution as it acts on macro-scale social systems of all kind. We'll be talking about the different stages within this process and how through this process of evolution social systems can develop to exhibit greater complexity over time. The question of what exactly complexity is is one of the big open questions within complexity theory as there are a number of different approaches to trying to answer this question. We can for example talk about it in terms of computation or connectivity among various other approaches. But evolution also offers us one answer to this question. This perspective comes with a recognition that systems do not start out complex, all systems start out simple and evolve to become complex. Through this process of evolution the sub-components within the system become more specialized and differentiated. But also it involves a process of reintegration, increased interconnectivity and interdependence between those different subsystems. As an example we can think about the human body. Of course we started out as very simple unicellular organisms like every other creature but through a long process of evolution different cells have come to work together whilst also becoming increasingly specialized and it is through this combination of integration and differentiation during the process of evolution that our bodies have become the complex systems that they are today. From this evolutionary perspective a complex system is a system that is both differentiated and integrated and out of that we get synergies and the emergence of complex phenomena. The first thing for us to note is that evolution is not something that only happens to dinosaurs and monkeys, it's a pervasive phenomena in our world. The mechanism of evolution in the abstract is a process of development for any kind of adaptive system. Ecosystems, economies, societies, cultures, football teams, ideas, religions, political parties and the list goes on. Evolution is essentially the same process as adaptation but now operating on the macro scale. Adaptation is how an individual responds to change within their environment. Evolution is the process through which a whole population of agents responds to change within its environment. Both adaptation and evolution do not require a centralized regulatory system, they both happen in a distributed fashion. With evolution there is no one single divine entity that gets to make choices about which creatures will live or die.  Just as no one in free market economies gets to say which products will be produced or not produced. That choice is made by many different producers and consumers across the entire market as part of an evolutionary process. The point for us to take away is that evolution is a macro scale process of development within any adaptive system that is characterized by a distributed mechanism of selection. Within this world of evolution there is no right or wrong, good or bad, there is only really survival and adaptation. Survival means being able to effectively intercept and transform resources within some environment. Adaptation means being able to alter your state so as to be able to continue performing this function when the input values from the environment change. It is through being able to do both of these that you can ensure your survival and this environment may be ecological while we are talking about some biological creature or it may be some business within an economy, some political movement within a society or some ideology within a culture. For all of these entities to survive within their particular environment they have to be intercepting and transforming resources effectively and be capable of adapting as the environment changes. If you can't do that then over time you will become irrelevant within that environment and ultimately discontinued. The whole mechanism through which this operates is called the process of evolution. This process of evolution then operates through a number of key stages that need to be performed successfully for the process to be effective. Firstly, we need the production of variety in order to create a new set of possible solutions to the changing context. Secondly, those variants need to be exposed to their operating environment in order to see how effective they are within that context. And finally, we need some objective mechanism for selecting and replicating those that have been successful while discontinuing those that have not. For evolution to act on any population there needs to be variety among its members In terms of sociocultural evolution this would mean a variety of subcultures, information and knowledge sources, political ideologies and social institutions plus the capacity to create new ones through cross-mixing. Low barriers to entry would be important enabling marginal beliefs and institutions to get a foothold and gain some exposure. The internet is a good example of this as it allows otherwise marginal ideas and subcultures to get exposure through low-cost mass communication making it easier for people to access and remix content into new cultural variants and easily create new organisations around them. This is like the prototyping stage in design. This stage in the process will be most effective when there are lots of different building blocks, the capacity to easily mix them, putting them together and taking them apart and having low barriers to entry so that we can rapidly deploy and test them, fail early and quickly at low cost and learn fast. Internet organisations are again a good example of this. Through social networking technology we can very rapidly create dynamic organisations around some theme or location and collaborate at low cost allowing for a much greater possible number and diversity of new organisations. With such low barriers to entry we can have rapid iteration to see which ones might scale. These different types of socio-cultural institutions need to be given the time and autonomy to develop in order to see how well they are suited to that particular context. What is needed here is a level playing field so that all variants can compete in a somewhat equal fashion, that is to say that all are exposed to the same environment within which they have to compete. If there is one dominant ideology, culture or political regime that is given precedence over all others, this will work to hinder the emergence of new variants that may be better suited than the existing incumbents and create barriers to change in evolution. Here we can see the cost of unequal socio-economic opportunities, a cost that may not be born immediately but will have a long term detrimental effect on the system as a whole, that will again lead us into self-organised criticality on the macro scale reducing sustainability. Democratic political processes are an example of this, theoretically they allow for a number of different political parties and ideologies to compete on an even playing field. But of course this is not always what happens in practice. And for example we increase the amount of money for campaigning. This will distort the process, decreasing the number of viable possibilities to those that are amenable to the interests of the economic incumbents. This will sooner or later reduce the solution set that the system has to respond to the challenges it is presented. Although diversity and variety may be necessary for evolution and change, they also carry a cost. Perhaps these different belief systems, cultures, social movements or other institutions have explored the full state space of possibilities within that social context and we have some metric for understanding which ones perform best. There then needs to be some mechanism for selecting those most successful variants and replicating them so that they will become more prevalent within the future life cycle to the whole system. For those that have proven less effective are not replicated and left to expire. Within democracies, political parties are subject to selection at the ballot box. Companies are subject to selection by their consumers. When people stop believing and spreading an ideology it becomes discontinued. But in that discontinuing we get the release of resources that were previously occupied and the system makes space for those resources to be reconfigured through those patterns of organization that have proven most successful within this cycle to the evolutionary process. Evolution is not a process of luxury, it is a process of necessity of long term survival. If it is not performed then the systems chances of survival in the long run will be degraded and distortion to any stage within the process, whether it involves excluding new variants from emerging, giving them an unequal field on which to compete or distorting the selection process, the net result of this would be a degradation to the macro system leading to some form of self-organized criticality. Evolution may not give us short-term optimal solutions but what it does produce is long-term sustainability. We can think of it as a framework for how to manage the development of distributed complex systems sustainably. Through this process of evolution the system becomes both more differentiated and integrated. As the system goes through this process of evolution it has to develop new differentiated subsystems in order to operate in new environments. With this process of differentiation the system comes to have more parts with those parts being more specialized and autonomous. For example traditional hunter-gatherer societies have only a few dozen distinct functional roles within the community, while a modern census would recognize approximately 10,000 to 20,000 distinct occupations. But in order for the whole system to be effective and sustainable it also has to integrate those subsystems and through the process of integration these parts become more interconnected and interdependent. For example today most of humanity is deeply interdependent through our common dependence upon the global economy, within which there are many differentiated specialized functions that are highly interconnected and interdependent. Through this process of evolution a social system can transform from a small society with few subsystems to those that are large with many different interconnected subsystems and this complexity enables the system to operate sustainably in a broader environment as we've gone from local patterns of organization within small communities to the emergence of today's burgeoning global society. In summary then we've been taking a brief overview to this process of evolution as it acts on macro-scale sociocultural systems. We described evolution as a distributed process through which a complex adaptive system responds to change within its environment without centralized coordination and how through this process the system can develop over time to exhibit greater complexity which enables it in turn to function within broader more complex environments. We talked about how evolution operates through a number of key stages that need to be performed successfully for the process to be effective including firstly the production of variety in order to create a new set of possible solutions to the changing context with these variants then needing to be exposed to their operating environment in order to see how effective they are within that context and finally we talked about the need for some objective mechanism for selecting and replicating those that have been successful while discontinuing those that have not.


If you're just tuning in, you realize that in 1999, my client killed John's wife. John was with his wife as she took her last breath, and my client was oblivious to all this, found out later, of course, when they came to arrest him, and he was arrested for DOI manslaughter, the bond was $100,000. One of the biggest breaks I had was when I sent the deposition of the arresting officer, the investigating officer. This witness was so strong that he was going to testify wonderfully they didn't need to coach him up. But I showed up at that deposition and I had scheduled four hours. And John knows this now, but it became at the time when I had that sort of the aha moment when I was reading the reports in a traffic homicide case when you get them. I've got one right now. I've got almost 2,000 pages, 2,000 pages of discovery. I mean, it's super. I mean, the evidence is so, I mean, all the things, the measurements, the statements, they use laser to do it. There's video, the acts of reconstruction, all the stuff. I got to that case, looked, and I knew that I must be missing evidence because there was a three-page police report. Or a three-page, that's what you have in a shoplifting case.


everyone and welcome. This is Melissa Arma with the Stock Swooshing and Reviewing the month of July and the live training room. These are the day trades that I call every day in the room. Room opens at 8.30 Eastern time and I start talking between 9.00 9.15 ish. Anyways, long story short, it was a good month in July. I've been very focused, very focused and also it's earning season. So it's been like a double double thing, a double dose of Melissa and Gaps and no losing days this whole month. So let's go over it. So 41,805 is the results for advanced trader tracking, which is an advanced risk of about $2,000 a trade, some are a little bit more, some are a little bit less, but that's an average. And this is me, if you have any questions, you can email me at Melissa at thestockswish.com. You can call me at 9293200 Gap, follow me at Twitter, Facebook, YouTube or Skype. So really, earning season is a great time to trade. It's earning season this whole month yet still in August. So it is a fantastic time to be a part of the room, to learn my system and to start making money right away. There was no losing days. Like I said in the month of July, I'm going to go over all the ticker symbols. I only do gaps. I get up in the morning. My process is I rate the gap. If the gap rates per my system, it's a 26 point rating system, then I will do the gap. And we usually try to focus on one thing, maybe two, but it's mostly one. Anyways, July started out, took a couple of days off for the fourth. No trades on the ninth. Spy was a good one, 1575. BBBY was a winner, 1680. Spy was a winner, 2800. No trades in the 15th. Actually, when you think about the money for this month, there were certain days that there weren't any good gaps. I've just been so focused.  Second one winner in the 16th. Goldman was a winner in the 16th. 17th CSX was a winner.  Netflix was a winner in the 18th. No trades on the 19th. AMET, nice winner in the 22nd. TV Dayoff in the 23rd. UPS, big winner in the 24th.  TESSA was a nice winner in the 25th. Starbucks was a winner on the 26th. No trades in the 29th. UAA, the 30th, 2600. Nice one. And T2, big winner, fell all day. 65, 60 to close at the month. Banner, banner month. No losing days in a month. And it is about focus. It's 100% focus for me, 100%. And this is the day trades. Okay, these are not the options. These are the equity trades, the day trades where we're in and we're out. And again, the advanced risk is about 2000. You can risk less. You risk what you can afford, but it's up to you. If you want to do this for a living with my help, learning my system in the class in the two-day course and then joining the trading room, you absolutely can be successful in the market. It is about the focus and again, learning the system. So you have to do the class in order to join the live trading room. The class is called the Golden Gap course. It's August 10th and 11th, nine to five Eastern time. Class tuition is $64.99 US dollars. Class is online. It could be anywhere in the world and take it. Sign up early to make sure you get in. And if you want to do the combo, it's $69.99 to get the trends and the Golden Gap. You save, if you do both of those and pay for both of those together, you'll learn long-term trends and the Golden Gap. And the annual option subscription has no prerequisites. You don't have to do the class for this. It's $59.99. Trades are emailed to you. But again, these trades were equity trades and options trades. But sometimes options trades are better with people if they're at work and they can't be in the trading room in the morning. It was a great month. It's going to be a great August. Started out great today. Congratulations to everybody. Everyone is doing fantastic. I am so proud of all the traders in the room. Very happy. Have a great day, everyone. And have a great August.
