A big part of why I'm running comes back to my experience in the war. I did four tours in Iraq and I felt that I saw some of the consequences of failed leadership in Washington when I was there. Political newcomer and former Marine Seth Moulton has his aim on a new target, a seat in Congress, and one of the hottest races in the base state. I believe that it's time not just for a few new leaders in Washington, but for a new generation of leadership. The 36-year-old Marblehead native shocked the country when he unceded nine-turned Democrat incumbent John Tierney. Democrat Republican independent, I want to be a congressman for the entire district and I want to show that to people and you show that by earning their trust and respect. The showdown against Republican Richard Tse has not been easy. The two have sparred over a range of issues, from veteran benefits to affordable health care. There's a lot of momentum and enthusiasm out there for change, for someone who's not a career politician, someone who's not just going to be part of this broken Congress. There's so many things that I want to do here as a next congressman, but I don't think I'd be running if not for that experience in the war. One that he's been quite modest about, Moulton received not one, but two medals of heroism while serving in Iraq. It's not about bragging about that stuff. We just were fighting for our country and for the people next to us. And now his target is to convince voters. I believe our generation can lead our country to a country that's more service-oriented, that's less partisan, that's more pragmatic, that's going to set the example for our kids and our grandkids and set a strong example for freedom and democracy around the globe.


Now we've derived a method of using variation of parameters for a set of differential equations. Let's work through an example that will make things abundantly clear and we can use the beauty of that equation to solve this problem. Here's my square matrix A and X and it's not homogeneous. I have this column vector f of t, column matrix f of t. I still need to remember that my set of solutions is going to be this x sub c, x sub t, my complementary and my particular solution. First of all I've got to do my complementary set of solutions. We're going to set f of t equal to zero. In other words make this a homogeneous equation and we're going to still use the method of getting eigenvalues and eigenvectors. So I'm going to get this new matrix A minus a lambda i. So what is that going to be? Negative three, negative lambda. One, two and negative four minus lambda. And I want to set the determinant of that equal to zero. In other words I'm going to have negative three minus lambda and negative four minus lambda and so those two minus these two and I set that equal to zero. Now I warn you these are long problems. It will take you quite a few minutes to do and I'll see if we need to break the video down. So that's going to be a 12. That's going to be a plus. That's going to be seven lambda plus lambda squared minus two equals zero and that looks to me as that's ten. So it's lambda squared, a seven, five times two. So it looks like lambda sub one equals negative two and lambda sub two is going to equal negative five. Those seem to be the two. I think the board is definitely not going to be big enough. So let's just do that. Let's do a minus lambda sub one, lambda sub one i. And what is that going to be? Well let's put a negative two for instance. So that's going to be a negative one, negative three minus negative two. Where are we there? And then a one. And here we have a two and negative four minus negative two leaves me with a negative two there. So we have that and I have to multiply this by k sub one. So we're going to have a negative one and one and two and negative two and I multiply this by k sub one and k sub two. In other words, you can clearly see the case of one is going to be equal to k sub two. In other words, k sub one is going to equal this matrix one one. One one. Negative k sub one is to this multiplication, negative k sub one plus k sub two and that is going to equal the zero vector or two times k sub one minus two times k sub two. Exactly the same thing. So that is going to be my case of one. Let's do a minus a lambda sub two i. I'm just skipping through these things easily. You should never have to do them by now. So that is going to be the negative five. So three, that's going to equal two. That's going to equal one. That's going to equal two. And of course that's going to equal one. And I have to multiply this by the case of two and we'll call that case of three and case of four. If I do this multiplication, I see that two times k sub one plus k sub two. And that's going to equal zero. And the same for this. It's going to be exactly the same. Not sub one and sub two, so to say there. Three and four, we made them. Three and four. You can do this in whichever way that suits your working. So in other words, I see how I'm going to have that. Case of four equals negative two times case of three. If I let case of one equal one, I'm going to have the fact that case of two is going to equal, case of two will equal, if I put a one in there, was I correct? Two and one, two and one equals negative. So if I put a cap for case of three or one in there, I'm going to get negative two. So there we go. Case of one and I have case of two. And I therefore have my complementary set. And that is going to simply equal, x is then going to be c sub one. And we have case of one. Case of one. So that's complementary set. Case of one e to the power lambda sub one t. Plus we're going to have a c sub two, case of two e to the power lambda sub two t. Let's get more chalk. In other words, my complementary set is going to equal. Now we've got to develop this fundamental matrix from this. So this is the only new part. So let's have c sub one. And then we're going to have case of one is one one times that, which is, well, let me write it out. It's one one e to the power negative two t plus c sub two, what was it? One negative two e to the power negative five t. And another way I could write this is the following. That's c sub one. And it's e to the power negative two t e to the power negative two t plus c sub two. And we're going to have e to the power negative five t and negative two e to the power negative five t. In other words, I can now write my fundamental set. Remember, that's x sub one and that's x sub two. In other words, my fund, my, my, my x sub c, yeah, is going to be e to the power negative two t e to the power negative two t e to the power negative five t negative two e to the power negative five t times c. And my, my column vector c is c sub one and c sub two. If I do this multiplication, then I get back to this, which is the same as that, which is where we get that from. In other words, my fundamental set in t equals e to the power negative two t e to the power negative two t e to the power negative five t minus two e to the power negative five t. There is my fundamental set. So I developed that. I get that from my fundamental matrix, I should say, from x sub one and x sub two. And remember, x sub one and x sub two is this k sub one times e to the power lambda sub one t and x sub two is k sub two times e to the power lambda sub two t. So that's easy. Now I have this. I think I'll stop the video here. We'll clean the board. And we'll get the particular solution from this. Now that we have our fundamental matrix, let's get the inverse of the fundamental matrix. So how do I do that? Well, it's one over the determinant. So one over this times that. So you have negative two e to the power negative seven t minus this is e to the power negative seven t. And what do I do? I swap these two around, so that becomes negative two e to the power negative five t. This becomes e to the power negative two t. And I put two negatives there. So that's negative e to the power negative five t and negative e to the power negative two t. What is this? This becomes negative three. So if I do that, that's negative three e to the power negative seven t so I have that the inverse of my fundamental matrix is going to equal what this so that's two thirds two thirds e to the power so negative five plus seven that's two that's two t here I'm going to have a third e to the power negative seven five that's two t as well and is that correct here and then here we're going to have another third e to the power seven a negative seven so that's five t and here we're going to have negative a third e to the power seven and two that's five t there is my inverse now I have to multiply this by the f of t let's just give ourselves some space here give us some space here so I've got to multiply that by the f of t what was the f of t that was three t and e to the power negative t so I've got to do this two by two by two by one so I'm going to be left with a two by one matrix so this is where the mistakes come in so this times that plus this times that okay so three t times this three three so that's going to be two t e to the power two t e to the power two t plus this times that that is a third e to the power t third and that's e to the power t that's that one times that one and that one times that one and then these two three and that three pencils out it's t e to the power five t that one and that one plus this one and this one so that's going to be negative a third e to the power five negative four that's four t so that is my two by one matrix that is my two by one matrix and now what I have to do is to integrate that I have to get the integral of that okay yes the other mu well let's leave that five t so I have to get the integral of this the integral of this dt so how do I do that well it is really not a problem you just do this row and this row and you're going to get two answers you're going to get a two by one matrix as well now yeah we'll have to use the product rule that'll be easy product rule and that one will be easy let's do that let's just get some chalk let's go for that so two t I think what I'll do here yeah let's run through that two t so what are you going to do with the product rule and remember the whole equation here is we also just have to multiply by this and that is going to be extra p remember that was our equation for x of p this is the multiplication of the inverse of the fundamental inverse of the fundamental matrix times the f of t which was there okay so what are we going to do let's just do some side work here let's make u equal to 2t that means v prime is e to the power 2t which means u prime is 2 and that means v was going to be a half e to the power 2t so I'm going to have uv so that's 2 that's that so that's t e to the power 2t minus the integral of u prime times that two times a half nothing is left that's e to the power 2t dt so here we're going to have left t e to the power 2t minus it looks like a half minus a half e to the power 2t so all I did was just integrated this on its own so what am I left today let's write that and then I still have to remember just to integrate that as well and the integral of versus just going to be plus a third plus a third e to the power t so what do we have left here so x of p equals the fundamental matrix times I've got the first bit it's t e to the power 2t minus a half minus a half e to the power 2t plus a third e to the power t e to the power t so that's the first bit I have and now I just need the second bit let's do that one so now we just integrate this so integral with with the matrix here two by one matrix just do the one there's your one answer one a row and then do the second low nothing other than this yet again we'll use to use the product rule let's just remind ourselves so I'm going to select u being t there's various ways to do the product rule this is my way and this is e to the power 5t which means u prime it's going to equal this one that means v was the first e to the power 5t and then for the product rule we have uv so that's going to be a first t e to the power 5t minus the integral of u prime v I can bring the five a fifth out e to the power 5t and then I must just remember to just to add the integral of that one which is going to be negative so that's dt negative that is going to be 12 e to the power 4t 1 over 12 e to the power 4t so I've done this product rule and that one now we still just have to do this integration so that's going to end up being a fifth t e to the power 5 e to the power 5t now the integral of this is going to be negative 1 over 25 negative 1 over 25 e to the power 5t that one and minus one over 12 e to the power 4t so I have my 2 by 1 matrix this is actually quite easy to integrate this now I just have to do this multiplication this one times that one so this is a 2 by 2 matrix this is a 2 by 1 matrix so remember multiplication they do not commute so I've got to do it in this order so I've got to multiply this matrix by that and that's just going to make for very long videos I'm going to stop there and that is just going to give you the x of p x of p is then going to be there but remember we still need the fundamental matrix times c plus then this answer there to have the full answer remember this was how we got it this was our our homogeneous complementary set of solutions and now we just have to do this multiplication to do that remember this was just a multiplication of the inverse of the fundamental matrix times the f of t times the f of t and I integrate that just row by row so that I can get two rows of answers nothing more difficult than that


I was never gonna do this video one because I find them kind of boring but two because I- I feel like my feelings would have been hurt. You know how people ask like how do you do what they hate? Like my answer to that is not good. I get my feelings are way too easily so I have always strayed away from doing this but if I'm being honest you guys all the makeup launches have been extremely uninspiring and boring to me therefore I feel like I haven't really known what to film so I thought this would be a good time to post this video and you know what at the end of the day it is kind of fun to get to know me but I made sure you guys at least ask the juicy questions like I'm realistic here I know what you think when you watch me okay so I put out on my Instagram tell me your assumptions about me and you guys I love you all you were being way too nice you were like I assume that you smell like cupcakes or I assume that you're super hard-working I assume that you're so nice like I had to post another story and I was like seriously like make it interesting you can hurt my feelings I shall not hold this against you I am I want this to be somewhat interesting because people make these videos and they read off the compliments it seems like it's a video complimenting that like no I'm gonna get to the stuff and the information that you guys actually like want to know the juicy stuff I don't know it's kind of fun to confront that right I don't know we'll see I read through like a couple hours ago I filmed this look which will be coming very very soon if you're interested I tried a bunch of new products and let's get into it I'm serving those that came first so no particular order okay very first one great great comment you waste a lot of makeup lol I love you but holy shh how the H.E.DoubleHoggy6 do you get through it and my answer to that is if you want to think of it that way yes I do waste my makeup obviously I don't get through I try to give away as much as I can but if I'm being honest I don't view it as a waste I have 80,000 followers on YouTube and I am growing my Instagram and my TikTok platforms as well on average a YouTube video gets about 10,000 views so every time I buy a product every time I purchase a product I am helping at 10,000 people so to me that's not a waste it's how I personally choose to run my channel I look at makeup a little bit differently but literally yes I waste a bunch of makeup let's get thrown away not completely used up but I don't buy makeup to use it up completely I buy makeup to help you make purchasing decisions and I have a following of 80,000 plus people so I don't find that to be a waste this is another one that's good you're not as okay with the move to Miami as you're pretending to be so here I got that actually a couple of times and someone was like you're actually you hate that you move to Miami you hit okay like moving to Miami is not my first choice if I had not married my husband I have never envisioned myself ever moving to Florida and never appealed to me it's too hot for me the life that I envisioned for myself before I married Jose was if I were to move I was going to move in like the DC metro area Alexandria Virginia Bethesda Maryland that area if you're familiar with the DMV I would move to those areas ended up marrying a person who is from another continent he speaks Spanish and Jose never asked me to move to Florida I just knew he would be happy there his sister used to live in Miami so I knew that he loved it here and he would talk about how much he loved Florida and while we were living at home with my parents he really does not like the winters in Maryland it's much different than in Spain there's so much more sunlight and he was getting depressed it was affecting his emotions living basically in the dark in the winter if you're from Maryland you know what I mean he does not like the cold weather at all it makes him feel a little sick so one day you know I was just thinking about the fact that he moved across the world for me he moved away from his family and I was the one that suggested I said you know what why don't we move to Florida so you know I feel as though I have the flexibility to move wherever we want because of my job and while Florida wasn't my first choice it suddenly went up on my list because I just knew that's where my husband would be the happiest culturally it would be where he felt the most comfortable it would be a great place for his family to come visit because if you don't know Miami pretty much everybody here speaks Spanish his family doesn't really speak English there would be much more comfortable visiting us here than they would be in Maryland so it just made sense we are a young couple we have no children we have the ability to move here so so no Florida was not my first choice I miss my family a lot but I am happy to be here because of my husband you know I compromised and I don't have too much to complain about you guys honestly I really do love Miami I don't see it as a permanent home for myself but the next few years while we are without kids or anything financially independent I think we are perfectly happy here yes I your assumption isn't wrong I didn't really want to move here that bad but I am not pretending I'm actually really really excited to be here this is my first time moving out I'm making the best of the situation and if you've ever been to Miami I'm telling you there is not much to complain about especially this time of year the weather is actually great I live in the city area there's so many areas for shopping and this food water beach it's not that bad it really isn't I just miss my family and that's it yeah the next one says you regret about moving from your parents house I don't know all this is the next step that we needed to do I'm an adult I am married so yeah we wanted to move away for sure I think once Jose and I decide to have kids I will feel differently and Jose obviously he's aware as well he knows how I feel we communicate about it I'm only a few weeks in so I can't say how I feel and if I'm gonna be here forever but I mean Jose also agreed like if I ended up being absolutely miserable here and I miss my family so much like we would go back not an issue at all yeah I don't regret it yet I'm perfectly fine right now staying by to my family was obviously hard but I definitely settled in I feel more comfortable love love love the location that we live in and like I said I'm making the best of it it's it's not bad someone said I thought you were using the privilege to not pay rent just to put that money into vanity aka makeup at so basically like I was living with my parents for free so I spending all that money on makeup I actually I know it looks like I'm this crazy crazy spender but I'm not I don't buy things for myself too often I'm very responsible with my finances and at this point me buying makeup is an expense into my business and compared to normal businesses like brick-and-mortar stores companies that make things I have very low expenses I especially now that I'm getting more PR and I pretty much know what you guys are gonna like know what you're gonna want to see so I'm very picky about what I buy I don't buy anything makeup wise for leisure so much anymore it's all for my makeup channel and I think in the beginning of my channel when I was living with my parents I had just graduated college I was putting a higher percentage of my money into buying makeup and I wasn't getting any return but I was working a lot before I was making money from my YouTube channel I was a long-term sub I think when I first started YouTube I was a high school coach for sports I did youth programs on the weekend I was a summer counselor in the summer I had money coming in but when I first started my channel I was living with my parents I didn't have that many bills the older I got the more bills I obtained I was able by not paying rent especially in these last couple of years to save up a lot of money I was not blowing all my money on makeup it may look like it looks like a lot but I assure you guys my I'm quite responsible with my money I know it's hard to envision but I truly am I also don't think I articulated this well enough but basically yeah I spent way more than the average person on makeup but now that I know exactly what my audience likes exactly what's gonna do well just through my years of experience when I buy makeup because I buy it and review it I end up making more money like the more reviews I do the more makeup that I buy the more money and income that I earn through AdSense and affiliate links so yeah someone said you actually have twice as much makeup in your stash than you showed on your video no I showed you guys everything that I have that's part of like also my shtick like I have a lot of makeup to test I want to show you every bit of makeup that I have so now some of you guys are still being nice I asked for you to be mean interesting I had some people saying you want to have babies someday and then some people saying you don't want to have kids Jose and I do want to have kids not within the next couple of years or anything probably not until we start looking into buying a house but I went like one or two I don't win a lot but I do want kids eventually and again not till I'm closer to my 30s this one kind of made me laugh I don't know why I assume you got married to Jose to get the pit to get papers this might take a little bit of an explanation if you don't understand the US immigration system but Jose was in the USA legally with papers he was on a student visa he was going to college here totally legal here then we met I love obviously we're in a very real relationship this isn't a 90-day fiance scam but it really was unfortunate timing Jose had about one semester left when COVID happened and if you don't know COVID shut down the US borders for international travel and obviously at the time of COVID we had no clue when those international borders would open up which the actual answer to that was well over a year and a half later even longer than that the borders opened up in November to just you know so yeah the borders wouldn't open up for a really long time in that point of time it was like we had no clue so if he went back home after he graduated college we didn't know when he would be able to come back so I think in those last six months before he was gonna graduate and his student visa was no longer going to be valid we had to have some serious conversations about what we were gonna do with our relationship and obviously we decided that we did not want him to go back to Spain and never be able to come back we were planning on getting married anyways so and we knew with COVID the immigration process was taking even longer and longer everything was backed up so even if he went back to Spain and we started a different visa process where like the 90-day fiance rule where he could come back in because he would be on that 90-day fiance rule we didn't know how long that process would be because of how backed up immigration was so we decided that the best option for us was to start the marital visa process so that he could still be in the States while his papers were getting processed and at this time his papers are still being processed he's not allowed to leave the country right now so basically to answer your question did we get married sooner than we would have because of his immigration status yes but obviously we're in a real relationship we would have gotten married anyways but that's just how the immigration process worked i'm very very happy we got married we are in a very healthy happy relationship i regret nothing the only thing that's sad is we had to get married during COVID we had a very very very small extremely intimate ceremony and we were planning on having something in Spain this summer like a bigger celebration true wedding celebration but unfortunately our immigration paperwork is not done being processed so he is still not allowed to leave the country so we don't think that's gonna happen so yeah that's how it worked out the next one your family is wealthy straight up i mean everybody's interpretation of wealth is different by the american standards my family is truly middle class we are not wealthy we are not upper class we are not upper middle class you might suspect that because i'm into a lot of luxury and high end things but i don't have that many i really don't the luxury makeup is the cheapest that you can get when it comes to luxury and i am the only child that also is a huge part of it guys i'm spoiled i'm the only baby the next one kind of regarding to your wealthy that your parents have paid your way through your adult life like i said i am the only child i am very very blessed that my parents have supported me in the way that they have i am 100 paying for everything by myself right now mommy and daddy aren't helping me but i would not have gotten to this position if it were not for my parents as you know i was living with them completely rent free eating their food not paying anything i was paying my bills in the last couple of years phone bill all of that stuff i food that i ordered when i went out chopper stuff i paid for everything but in terms of living expenses my parents paid for that and because of that i was able to save up to be able to afford to live in this place by myself and with my husband of course but they really really did help me a lot when i graduated college and i had just started my youtube channel as you know me and my mom would go hafiz on makeup and you know part of her motivation was to help my youtube channel she would agree to stuff that she didn't necessarily like to go hafiz on because she was supporting my makeup channel my parents bought me my first camera for my youtube channel as a gift because they knew i was interested in getting into it you know my parents were always very supportive and are very supportive of my dreams and definitely i would not be where i am at without them helping me and they helped me just enough so that i am able to afford absolutely everything and more so i owe this to them for sure they definitely supported my dreams and you know helped provide for their babies so that i could live out what i wanted to do you don't like most mega makeup influencers not really uh mostly because i feel like it's not my style of makeup and i look at makeup differently you know they look at makeup as and this is so stupid but i look so much deeper into a review and the how makeup works and also i feel like a lot of these mega influencers it's a little bit too dramatic for me personally makeup style wise while i do wear a lot of makeup and i do a lot of unwearable looks i still try and make them pretty user friendly pretty wearable still kind of stick to the traditional rules of makeup and i know there are no rules in makeup but i went to makeup school there are some rules that i follow and that i incorporate into the makeup that i do so my looks are a lot softer and for me i truly am passionate about makeup and i do feel like a lot of these mega influencers it's more about the looks of it and getting these really intense looks and i don't know looking extraordinarily more beautiful than the average person res me i just like talking about the makeup so it's different i feel like it's i'm more casual so i don't really watch too many large influencers now i like smaller people you miss beauty community drama when it's with the big people i'm not gonna lie sometimes i got sucked in i haven't necessarily been missing it i guess there's less to talk about when things are happening i'll be like oh mom did you hear what happened with this person so yeah in some way that was some sort of entertainment for me but i don't really care either way this is a good one you feel obligated to boost up natasha denona and pat mcgrath more just because of your loyalties so i definitely when pat or nat launch something i know i'm going to cover it i know i'm going to talk about it more so than other products because i have built such a large audience of natasha and pat fans i am also one of those nat and pat fans but i do have to sometimes tiptoe around the way that i speak about the products just because people get really upset that i don't like them but you guys know i'm always 100 honest if i love or don't like a product from either brand i don't care to say that however i definitely put a little bit more emphasis on the excitement of a product because one i truly am more excited but because also you are looking to hear my thoughts you want to know what i think maybe not you in particular but a large percentage of my audience is genuinely curious of my thoughts on that product so therefore natasha and pat are first priority on my channel if that makes sense someone said you wear the pants in your relationship and he doesn't say a word that's not true my mom and i actually talked about that i know people say that this is not true when people say this but i swear jose and i are pretty even like one of us will wear the pants in certain aspects of their relationship and then the other one of us will wear the pants in a different aspect of their relationship i don't even know like when it comes to organizing things and take getting things handled i would say i wear the pants in that situation i don't know it's pretty even honestly seriously you don't care how your nails look on camera the shade i very clearly don't okay well it's not that i don't it's that i'm too lazy to care enough to get them done i know my nails click trash in all my videos except for today know you guys and one of my goals when i moved to miami took us to make sure that my nails were well capped but the reason that i really struggle with getting my nails done though is seriously i'm not exaggerating nail polish does not last on my nails at all i've gone to so many nail salons and they always tip within two to three days i'm currently wearing gel polish gel polish only lasts a week before it starts to get stuck in my hair my nails just don't hold onto product well and it's so expensive to get your nails done and when i wear regular polish it takes two to three days for it to get really chippy and ugly and so that's why i just don't do anything because it's too much effort but i've been going to the nail salon because i just decided that i need to now that i'm doing more tiktoks and things that show my hands more but yeah it's a pain in the butt i get gel now so at least it lasts a week but i hate it i really don't care that much but they were looking pretty bad on tiktok so that's when i started to care a little more you occasionally sleep with your makeup on never ever it's been years since i've slept with makeup on you're spoiled and pout when you don't get your way i can i did get a couple like you're spoiled you're a spoiled brat my parents definitely spoiled me growing up and i i've had my moments i'm not gonna lie i have had my spoiled brats moments i like to think that now that i've gotten older i'm responsible i make my own money i have my own responsibilities i own a business i like to think that i'm not a spoiled anymore i'm my true core though in the best way possible seriously yes i am spoiled i would be lying if i said that i wasn't you'd never teach in the state of florida because the education system here is a joke i have no plans of teaching in florida i was very lucky to teach in maryland which is one of the best education systems in the country also teachers are one of the better paid in that state they pay you trash dirt in florida and i heard the education system is a mess you know i really don't see that coming you use filters on youtube i don't but i do color correct just to make the colors a little bit brighter because colors very easily get washed out but i don't use any like face face smoothing filters i just don't for me i don't see the points it's not about looking beautiful i show products and i need to show the integrity of the products you started doing tiktok and reels because you want to earn more money yes and no i'm having so much fun creating the reels and the tiktoks they are inspiring me i have so many creative ideas things that i wouldn't necessarily post on youtube i'm able to post on tiktok and kind of broaden my audience and the products that i can talk about it also gives me more reason to include more products to talk about if you see my tiktoks you know what i mean i'm able to go through my drawers more and get more use out of those products not necessarily on my face but just to be able to talk about them more and utilize them more on my socials and obviously social media is my job i make money through my job so yes i am trying to grow a larger following so that i can up my rates for more collaborations and i have not made a scent on tiktok however if you're looking to grow and this is your business you gotta be on tiktok that's just what it is because you know one day youtube might die and tiktok is where you have to be so i have to make sure i am staying on top of that that would be a very bad business decision for me if i didn't make a tiktok luckily i have fun with it real as i have made some money but it doesn't even cover a portion of my rent it's not that much so if i'm not looking directly to make money from that content however it does help with my business and job overall and how much money i do earn if that makes sense so there is a money motivator there for sure in the long run but like up front i'm not making anything really you were excited about being on the pr list from color pop but not anymore that's kind of true so i was so pumped when i got on color pops pr but honestly it is a bit overwhelming and i am not complaining i am so blessed but you guys see how much color pop launches and if you guys are exhausted just from seeing their constant instagram posts me having to constantly open everything and recycle everything and figure out what to do all these things that are taking up space i want to be on the color pop pr list i do but i wish they would send out like a questionnaire like hey do you want this yes or no it would be less waste and it would make the most sense you hate drugstore makeup i do not i love all facets of makeup high end low end affordable luxury it's just that my channel i've grown in audience of luxury and high-end people so i'm more likely to post that stuff because that's what you guys are mostly interested in and i spent more money on the product so i want to get more use out of it and i want to share my thoughts on it because it was more expensive and i like the packaging better yes but i'm not snooty to affordable our drugstore products i still like them i just happened to not talk about higher end and luxury products more because let's be honest they're prettier to look at and i spent more money on them the next one literally says you hate drugstore makeup because it doesn't make you feel bougie makeup is also an experience i like i said packaging is huge for me jose doesn't want to work in moving was the push that he needed no he didn't get his work visa until recently he was not able to work at all and he was applying to places in my amni before we moved and nobody it's hard to find a job right out of college you know he was having difficulties because most employers would be like you need to live in florida for us to hire you so he was having a hard time in just being a college grad and by the time that his work visa had come it was the holiday season i did not want him to get a job because i wanted him to help me edit as you know the holiday season for social media and the beauty industry is huge it's where you make the most revenue it's where the most launches come out it's where i had the most partnerships we were moving anyways in a couple months literally it was only like two or three months before we moved that he got his work visa so it was over the holiday season that he could work and i wanted him to help me more since we were moving anyways then i did for him to get like a part-time job before we moved if that makes sense does that make sense anyways he does have a job now so that's really great i'm happy about that someone said you're rude and have no filter um if you're talking about to other people no i i have too much of a filter i am very non-confrontation i would never be rude to a person i would never be rude to a person i am too scared so yeah i i think i'm actually quite nice to people only because because i'm just i'm so non-confrontational i couldn't be rude to a person i would i care too much about what other people think it's actually kind of a flaw of mine but when it comes to being rude and having no filter about a bad makeup product when it comes to you guys i don't hold back sometimes that makes people mad though but what do you want from me i won't even like if i order something wrong like i won't even tell them that they give me the wrong order okay you guys i am looking at the rest of the responses i think i'm gonna stop there because this is getting long anyways he wants to listen to my song for this much but that was kind of fun i i mean i know there's a lot of things naturally that you see that you would wonder about a person so i thought it'd be fun to like talk about it so yeah i hope you guys enjoyed this video if you aren't subscribed to me i would love it if you would consider taking the time to do so i'm gonna head off to Nordstrom i'm looking for some more like Miami clothes because my wardrobe is not in the style here anyways we'll see you guys in the next one have a good one

One of the things that we're doing, one of the biggest brands in the world, is that we take a large language model, we train that large language model on the data of the employee, the marketing employee, and then we use that digital twin as a, we ask the questions, if I put you on this project will you work well, if I put you on this team will you thrive, so that's what something we're doing with one of the biggest brands in the world, but we know that we can use AI to augment ourselves in many ways.


As the central fiber of a family, we put the C star action as in the definition of stability. And then we want to argue that the Fou-Tarke invariant for this limiting value of this thing is zero. I'm going to try to say something about these points. Before doing that, let's step back and say a few words about the kind of foundations of studying these metrics with cone singularities. Remember that these are things that are modeled transverse to a divisor on the basic cone dr squared plus theta squared. And in terms of a standard, if we take a standard complex coordinate, say z transverse to d and say w, a number of w's along d. So the divisor is locally defined by the equation z equals zero. Then in the basic model, we would take z, these complex coordinates and these cone coordinates will be related by a formula like this. So what I mean by the foundations is that essentially we want to set up an analog of the usual kind of linear elliptic theory. And in the usual way, just as when you do the usual analysis on manifolds, you start off with doing the flat case and then you treat the general case by perturbing about that. We can start off treating the sort of flat case where we take the standard cone times a Euclidean factor with w. So more precisely, what do we mean? We're not going to attempt to define elliptic theory for arbitrary operators. We want to consider really a very specific operator. Let's just say the crucial operator in sort of complex mongeampère theory, the crucial linear operator is the composite of d bar d with the inverse of the Laplacian. Why is this relevant? This is the thing that takes, supposing we want to have a given change in the volume form, which is what this complex mongeampère is all about, that's given by solving the Laplace equation. And then that gives the change in the Kepler potential. The change in the metric is given by taking d bar d. So this is the linearization of the operator. The change in the volume form goes to the change in the metric. And what we want is this to be a bounded operator with respect to essentially the same function space, roughly speaking. And the conventional thing you would use in the standard case would be, well, one conventional thing would be holder spaces, and that's what we want to do. It's all bounded. So it's not really quite clear what this means initially, because the output of this is going to be a one-one form. In this conical situation, what do we mean to compare the values of a one-one form at different places? It's not quite clear how to set it up. What we mean by that is that we'll express, we can write down a standard basis for the, which is an orthonormal basis for the one-one forms. If you write eta is dr plus i beta r d theta. Then we can write down a standard basis of the form of eta wedge eta bar, dw, schematically wedge eta bar, and dw, which is dw, and the schematic notation. So what we mean here is that we express the components of this with respect to this basis, and we want this to be holder in the ordinary sense. So for that, we want to understand the Green's function of this, Laplacian. So there are, I'm not an expert on this, there are at least two approaches to this. One is to say that this is essentially something which has been studied for hundreds of years, because in a slightly different context, it appears, I dare into it, if you're doing potential theory on a wedge in R3, it's essentially the same problem. So there are lots of fascinating papers from about 1910, from traditional mathematical physics papers, writing these things down with Bessel functions and all sorts of stuff. Alternatively, that after a modern kind of high technology theories, so one can alternatively try to read papers by Melrose and Matt Sayer and people like that. So they're both probably about equally difficult reading projects. Anyway, I'm following more than first, but there is a, all of this can probably be, but I think that is embedded in much bigger theories. This has all been developed in a more systematic and general way by the paper of Geoffrey's, Matt Sayer and Rubinstein. Anyway, all I want to say is that you have to be careful in doing this and I want to explain that things are not as completely straightforward as I might first think. The following reason, this is a function of two variables, but supposing we fix one variable to be some fixed point away from the divisor and we just think of g of p0, and we think it's a function of this one variable. Then this thing has an expansion about the divisor, which contains terms of the form r to the one over beta, say cos theta plus lots of stuff, but you get terms of this kind coming in. So what we have to do to understand this operator, if we put an arbitrary second-order operator in here, we'd have to differentiate this thing twice to see what we're going to get. But if we take two derivatives in the r direction, this will bring in an r to the one over beta minus 2 cos theta. So you see that if things get worse, this beta gets bigger. If beta is bigger than a half, this thing is not even bounded. You get a singularity. Is this a green function on the compact manifold or is this a big function on the component of the divisor with some boundary conditions? So I'm solving the model problem on... Let's bring in notation. Let's write c beta for the standard cone or the plane with the cross-body metric. So I'm taking the model problem on this flat space where one can write out the green's function explicitly in terms of... But the boundary conditions near the wedge or something like that? No, I forget the wedge. I was just saying that the same things do appear. But in my version, I'm just saying... I'm considering a little plus operator for this conical metric on this sort of flat model where one can write down essentially... That's what I'm doing. Then later on, of course, you paste that into a compact manifold to do things there. But the crucial thing is this is bad if beta is bigger than one half.  But fortunately, we don't have a general operator here. We have this particular one. So essentially, this second derivative with respect to r only occurs in... So we can write delta as, say, delta r theta plus delta w, schematically, that is taking the plus in different direction. The only place this operator occurs is inside here. So we can express... If we take the derivative with respect to w, we have no problem. We can express this in terms of the Laplacian, which is what we already know. Beyond that, we only get terms in d by dr of g. We'll end up with d by dw. That doesn't happen. That will just involve things like 1 over r to the beta minus one, cos theta, and there we're just okay because beta is less than one, so this is slightly positive. So this will be in c alpha if alpha is less than 1 over beta minus one. So this is what I'm going to take it. But what you conclude, essentially, by... Once you've done this, you can follow the usual proof of the Schouder estimates with some modifications to obtain these estimates, but you're only going to get it in this range of holder spaces depending upon beta. And it's only worked because you weren't considering general derivatives, you're only considering these particular derivatives. So one application of having that theory is that once you have that linear theory in place, you can relatively easily solve the deformation problem to say if you have a solution for one angle, you can slightly increase the angle. In fact, let's say something about that. But for the deformation problem, let's say something a bit more precise than what I just said, if you just write it down, and you use the implicit function theorem to linearize the problem, you apparently might have a problem given by obstruction, given by holomorphic vector fields on x, which are tangent to d. If you have one of these, then there will be a co-colonel of your operator which you would potentially obstruct this deformation. But it's quite an easy fact. This is done by Jansson and Wang, but there are no such things. This space is zero in general. So although you apparently have this obstruction, actually when you look more carefully, it's always vanishing. So you can always do this deformation. Chlorianthicanon. This is assuming V is chlorianthicanon. In other situations, as I said, d is in some fixed multiple... So before diving into the technical things, let's give an example where maybe what I'm going to say is not absolute, perhaps one doesn't actually know precise proofs of every point, but it's only an example where one really understands how things should work if you try this. So let's try to do this program in a case where we know this is not a solution. Let's take Cp2 and blow up at two points. There's no Kepler-Unstein metric on this thing. So let's see what happens. We'll do this. So let's take homogeneous coordinates x, y, z and blow up two points on the line at infinity. This is also a line at infinity. These are our two points. Let's just take a divisor in minus k. That's just to give them a cubic curve passing through these two points. So... I can't quite draw it. So a cubic through the two points. So the generic case will be then when this cubic meets the line at infinity and one further distinct point. So first we'll consider that. You can essentially see what happens is that supposing our cubic is given by the equation p of x, y, z equals zero, then as you approach the limiting value where you're going to stop, this cubic is going to... In this case, the ambient space will stay the same. It's going to be projective space. But what will happen is that the cubic will degenerate into a singular curve according to the fashion p of, let's see, x, y of silent z equals zero, silent z equals zero. So what will happen is that our curve will degenerate by applying the one parameter subframe that squashes everything towards x equals y equals zero. In the limit, we'll get three lines. And that's where we'll stop because when we said this was a smooth D there were no singularities. Now when we've got this singular situation we do have a construction, and so we do... That sort of fits in that we do meet this obstruction. That's why we stop. Plus, of course, the fact that we've got some... We'll have some nasty singularity in our metric here as well. Moreover, by calculations of Gavel, Zecalidi and Chilly, one can work out exactly where we stop in the situation. And it's at... It's written down somewhere. So beta max is equal to 21 over 25. Yep. We know exactly that. We'll go that far and no further. And then we'll get this picture here. On the other hand, according to calculations of Zecalidi, if we took a special case where one of these was a double point so we had a double intersection point, then we would know not quite so far. Seven over nine, which is slightly smaller in the case of the special case. And then... Actually, I don't quite... I'm less certain about what the picture would be if it degenerates, but presumably one could figure out how it should be going on. So are we seeing the destabilizing test configuration? Are we seeing the destabilizing test configuration? That's right. This thing will be the... The way you work this out, if you work out when this futaki invariant is zero for this thing. But then that's... For this one parameter, so brute. The kind of the special case is another one parameter subgroup that stops you a bit before that, because that's why you stop at a slightly smaller angle. Yeah. So this has nothing to do with the proofs in general, but it's comforting to see a case where one really, at least feels but understands exactly what's happening. So let's now turn to the... Not... For me it's the central problem, which is to extend what we did in the first lecture and a half to the case when we have these divisors. So remember that was all based upon... We had the drum-off-house-storff limit, and then we went to relate that to algebra. So one other kind of foundational thing, which I will say almost nothing about, is to show that, in fact, we can approximate these metrics with cone singularities by metrics of positive Ricci curvature. In fact, we can keep the... We can keep the... Arbitrary close to being a Kaler-Einstein metric away from the divisor and slightly smooth out this delta function of curvature to a big lump of something smooth with a very large positive Ricci curvature. But just a... All that is not too surprising, but that requires substantial proof. But one point to make is that when we were... In our previous discussion of these L2 techniques and so on, we were looking at formulae for involving the Ricci curvature. There we said we had a hypothesis that the Ricci was bounded, and that was all we needed to think around it. In this case, it's not going to be... In this family, it's not going to be bounded, but the crucial thing is it always appears with the right sign. So for those purposes, you don't care about very big... Positive Ricci curvature only helps you with those kind of... Vights and Bot formulae arguments. So this approximation, in fact, means that we can fit into, without any more ado, into the general kind of Chica-Colding theory that our limit, our Gromov-Hausdorff limit, will be a limit of Romanian manifolds of positive Ricci curvature. Then we have a GH limit. So, not sure what notation we use for this, but let me say something more about the singular set. S is the singular set. About the general Chica-Colding theory, or sigma we call it. The one divides this up, and it quantifies this to subsets, let's say, sigma i. These are the points where... So no tangent cone splits off a c n minus i plus 1 factor. If i be equal to 1. So in fact, what this means, the whole singular set is equal to sigma 1. All that's saying is that if we have a tangent cone, if i is 1, this is cn, if we have a tangent cone which is cn, in fact, we're a regular point. We're not a singular point. That's not a basic fact. But then there are subsets, sigma 2 and so on. So the essential difference in what we're doing compared with your ordinary case, the first most obvious part of the difference, in the standard case, we in fact have sigma is equal to sigma 2. That's to say there are no points here, which aren't in here. There are no points which split off a cn minus 1 in that tangent cone. But now clearly there will be there will be points where the tangent cone... So in our case, we will expect to find tangent cones which are just the model we wrote down, cn minus 1 times c beta. Various angles beta. So the fact that these don't occur as limits in the ordinary situation is... In our case, under the hypothesis we're working with is a relatively deep theorem of Chiga. But here we do. We're going to encounter these. So the other thing to say about these things is that the Hausdorff co-dimension of the sigma i is at least 2i, the real co-dimension. So that's why before we had things of co-dimension 4 at least, as we only hit this sigma 2. But now we're going to get some co-dimension 2, singularities obviously, with co-dimension... The whole story is about real co-dimension 2 singularities. So let's suppose we're at a point in our limit, let's call it z denote our Gromov-Hausdorff limit, with such a tangent cone. We'd like to do just what we did before around such a point. We wanted to construct these localised holomorphic sections really on the smooth, before we take the limit. We want to have the same story. So what we need is a good cut-off function. This is our singular set in the tangent cone. We're going to work on a big ball. What we want to do is we need a cut-off function which vanishes... Which way you're going? You want a function which is equal to 1 on the singular set, sported in a small neighbourhood, and with the integral of the small as we like. That's what we need to do. So, at first sight, this is a difficulty if you're meeting such a thing for the first time. Because if you do the obvious thing as in our discussion before, you would find that if you take the obvious thing where you just take a standard function and scale it, this thing is scaled in variance. So you won't scale this down. But a second sight, or because you've seen something like it before, you can do a slightly more complicated thing to write down a suitable function based upon... So let's say r to be the... Essentially it's a two-variable problem because nothing's really happening so if we define... If we define in terms of a pair of parameters q and delta, if I define g of r is 0 for r... I'm taking it... This is going to be 1 minus the function I talked about before. r less than delta is equal to 1 over log q times log r over delta if delta is less than or equal to r is less than q delta. And then when r is q delta, this is 1. Now if we want to work out the l2 norm of the derivative, that's going to be the integral from delta to the q delta. 1 over log q squared times what are we going to get? What are we going to get? We're going to get 1 over r squared r dr. Essentially we're going to get... That's 1 over r delta to the q that gives log q over log q squared is 1 over log q. So we can make q as large as we like to make this as small as we like and then we make delta sufficiently small the function is still so it's still equal to 1 on an arbitrarily small neighbourhood. So with a bit more thought we can construct these good cut-off functions in the basic co-dimension 2 situation. And this is essentially the same as the fact in dimension 2 you don't have a sobblef embedding in C0. If there were no such function then you would have so this is maybe kind of the first step towards extending what we did to this case when we have these two-dimensional singularities but there's a lot more to it than that but I'm not I'm not going to try to go into very much of that at all beyond to say a few more words we've got to. So more systematically what we want to say is that we're going to consider tangent cones of our limit, the cone on y and they're going to have a singular set sigma and we'll say that we have a good tangent cone if there is a good cut-off function so let's not write it a function equal to 1 on sigma so that way around this is 1 minus the g we had before sported in an arbitrarily small neighborhood with the integral of mod grad g squared as small as we like a family of functions, however small we want to make this we can make it small so clearly if this was a a co-dimension two sub-manifold for example, clearly we'd be alright by the same argument but as we said potentially these singular sets are completely bizarre things at the outset we know very little about these sets so that's why there is work to do but the basic of technical fact technical result is that all tangent cones are good so once you know that everything we did goes through without shame all we used with regard to the tangent cone was that you had this cut-off function everything goes through but this takes a lot of work let's just mention a relevant notion which I call it Minkowski measure but I'm not sure I call it this because looking on the internet there seem to be vaguely related notions that might be exactly the right language but this is a useful notion for what we want to do supposing we have a set some general context we have a notion of house-storff measure which is given by covering by arbitrary collections of balls with different radii but that doesn't work very well for these purposes what works better is to consider balls of a fixed radius so we'll define this by saying M of A is less than equal to some number M if and only if there's a way of saying it there'll be more if and only if for all epsilon, small numbers there exists a cover of A by fewer than M 2N minus 2 is what we're doing epsilon balls so this is if A is in some two-end dimensional ambient space this is the number you'd this is the number you'd expect for a kind of a real real co-dimension two Minkowski measure co-dimension this implies that the volume of epsilon neighborhood in a context where the volume of balls is essentially like the Euclidean volume up to bounded factors the volume of an epsilon neighborhood is less than some universal constant times N times epsilon squared if you just think about because you cover an epsilon neighborhood taking these balls but twice the size they've got volume so it should be 2 minus 2N the volume of each ball is roughly epsilon for 2N this is the number of balls so you get epsilon squared so it's a kind of a good notion for a co-dimension two set it gives you control of the volume of the neighborhoods and if you have this condition then you can write down essentially this function this is the distance function to the set using the this bound on the volume of the neighborhoods it's very easy to prove that you have these good good functions so the arguments are actually long and complicated but roughly we write the singular set as something of Hasdorf co-dimension bigger than 2 something of bounded Minkowski measure roughly it is not exactly roughly speaking that's the kind of the idea the arguments revolve around controlling this quantity for the singular set ok so that's all I'm proposing to say about this part I will say something not quite actually the cases when what we're indicating in the picture is the case when the limiting angle is strictly less than 1 or strictly less than 2 pi is another case when the limiting angle is 2 pi and those require different proofs the second one though in a sense you think it should be better because you sort of got that in fact the proofs are in some ways harder the the problem is when you look at a small ball these these divisors have a fixed volume fixed homology class we may have a fixed volume whatever else we're doing


Well, good morning to everybody, I hope you had a good session earlier and just hearing also about Kevin's insights about what the new generation of Chinese media consumers are about. So I'm going to talk more about the business side of things as Kevin mentioned, and essentially I'm going to bring more context around what's going on in China compared to the rest of the world. The title of my presentation is digital naturalism, new and improved species from China. So it will become a bit clearer as I go. I'd say that this presentation was triggered by the research I've done across different digital ecosystems, so I'll tell you very quickly about myself. I've been living in Asia for over 10 years in Japan, in Korea and in China. I've done research on what I call local species of digital creatures, and the consulting business I've built through my company is to identify innovation from Asia, so for many people it's kind of counterintuitive that there's innovation from Asia. And the concept of innovation arbitrage, so finding something that already works somewhere that could be ported to another place. And I was looking at that through the prism first of technology, then I realized well to understand it really have to look at cultures, but you have to look beyond culture to understand what's the fundamental human drive behind all those things that are working, and in some cases appearing in other markets as well. And eventually I came across the idea of digital evolution. And finally I made my way to the Galapagos, so I'm going to share with you ideas around about the Galapagos and how it relates to China and Sweden. So if it doesn't work, you can come to me at the end. All right, so I'll start with a very quick quiz, so you probably know this piece of hardware, so it's a movable type for printing. Any of you has an idea when this thing was invented and where?  You said 1880s, okay, that's some hardware here too. Any other, yes, over there. 1820s, okay, that's closer, yes. Hundred years before Christ in China, that's an interesting shot. Anybody else? Last one, yes. Okay, I'll tell you what I was told when I was in school was that it was invented in Europe by Gutenberg in 1415. Then I moved to Korea and I heard that they had movable type metal in the 1230s. And then in China they said, well, we had the wooden one in like the 1040s. It was a good 400 years before Gutenberg. So it might sound anecdotical, but I think there's really something to learn there. What I think it tells us is that first things can be invented more than once. I don't think Gutenberg necessarily knew of the Korean or the Chinese ones. Ideas themselves have no nationality. They can be invented by individuals anywhere or come to individuals rather than be invented. What's interesting is that the time gap, those 400 years gap between China and Europe can be bridged. So just imagine how the world would look like if we had had the Chinese movable type in Europe, a good 400 years earlier than we did. The world would be totally different. So of course at the internet speed, you don't have to wait 400 years, but surprisingly in some cases you wait a good decade. So of course if you can find out about those good ideas before other companies or other people find out and adapt that to your market and to your audience, then you can really do something very special. So I'll give you a few ideas about China's internet to start with. So to get the sense of what the West was thinking about Chinese internet, I looked at the top Google news a week ago. And I looked at the keywords that were appearing in just the headlines. So this is what the West says about Chinese internet. So that's the picture, censorship, activists, lots of users, cyber attacks, internet stocks. And it kind of fails to reflect a few things that actually are going on on the ground, especially what is missing is where is innovation, where are startups, where are new concepts, how about users? Talk about numbers and we talk about stocks and what concerns us. But we don't really understand very well what concerns them. So the challenge here is really to go beyond preconceptions around what is China, what defines China, what is innovation and what is success. Very often what we define as innovation and successful innovation is, well, something I would use, not something that may be cheaper, lower tech or for somebody else than me. That doesn't concern me. It's not successful to me. And the fact is that innovation is everywhere. So as you know, being from Sweden, you know the SIPA is a fantastic hardware from Sweden and you know those companies as well as well as this famous music group. It's all innovation and you can call it Swedish, but at the same time it's something global. So no more about digital naturalism. So you have to really go beyond the idea that people invent things and rethink that as ideas come to people. So in the old days, with the Greeks and the Romans the muses were visiting people with ideas. So the same muses can visit like a dozen different people around the same time if the conditions are right. So ideas don't really have, basically they come to people everywhere. So to understand digital species, I have to equip you with a little bit of vocabulary. So to understand species, one group is a native species. So those kind of drifted naturally. They were not brought by man to a location. They just arrived there with the wind or sea or on the back of some other species. Some are endemic, so they can be found only in one location. Some are indigenous. They can be found in more than one location. Introduced species didn't come naturally, so you can think about rabbits in Australia, for example, not necessarily a good success, and they can become invasive, so very widespread in a location. And I think this will help you understand what is going on in China with digital and how that concerns us. So we have to look for that at ecosystems. So first, looking at the US ecosystem, biggest for the internet, large population, high GDP per capita, experienced entrepreneurs, but also high development costs compensated by vast investment resources and regulation. So it's a rather rich ecosystem. Now you look at China, it's a little bit different. So you have very large population, but low GDP per capita, reasonably inexperienced entrepreneurs, internet is very new, software is very new, low development costs, but it's a popular investment spot, and they have kind of in progress regulations. So companies don't have very strong grounding because regulations tend to vary. So it's a rather tough ecosystem. And very often, Chinese companies are pictured as being copying, but as this little Swedish baby will learn on his way to adulthood, you learn everything by initially copying. And once you learn, then you can make it your own, and then you can do things differently. So mutation later on is also something that's critical for survival in a different ecosystem. So to understand how this works and what were the factors pushing for innovation, I came to this model of the five C's of innovation. So hopefully that will help you remember what they are. So first is copy. Second, that's where you start. Second is the constraints. So set of constraints can be the GDP per capita, for example. Combination is also a source of innovation. Combine an idea with another in a new way. And competition is also a very strong source of innovation, and China has plenty of it. And context is more about the culture, the religion, the language, all kind of soft aspects that you cannot say are good or bad, but just part of the context. So competition, just like those iguanas in Galapagos islands, to get your spot in the sun is actually quite competitive. So in US, we talk about Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube, Yahoo, Groupon. In China, there's more than one instance of every service on the competing very fiercely. So I counted about five Facebooks. Twitter, they had the first generation of Twitter copy cards that came around and didn't really work so well. Actually, all of them died. And now you have a second generation of Twitter services that are doing quite well, and there's three of them already. LinkedIn, so again, first generation, there were a couple companies doing that, also doing so-so, and now second generation of LinkedIn variations. So it's very competitive, and competition fosters innovation, because you have to differentiate in a way. It could be technology, but very often it's more around service concepts, marketing, business models. And I would say that China is especially good at finding, because they have no choice, Chinese companies have to find new business models. So I'll talk about first-species, very famous, maybe some of you heard of it. Anybody heard of Tencent before? So I did, I did the slide. Okay, so I compared it to the Galapagos Penguin. So Galapagos Penguin is the only penguin species north of the equator. And so it's kind of special, and kind of wonder what it's doing there, because it's so warm. And it actually happens to be the logo of Tencent, as well, the penguin, not the Galapagos one. This is a piece by Bloomberg Business Week that was made down earlier this month, about Tencent. And it tells about how big the company is, and it's actually a very good piece, if you want to know more about it. But what I'm going to talk about is how they came about. So Tencent's main service, with which they started, was an IM service, instant messaging, kind of Chinese ICQ. They started in 98, and they were not doing so well, because the business model around this service was advertising, and that didn't work in China, because the market was too small for advertising. So for survival, they had to find new models. So they researched Korea, and they saw that in Korea, virtual goods, digital currencies, were doing quite well with avatars and games. So they combine IM with avatars, as you can see here. And after that, they also introduced games. And today Tencent is a giant conglomerate with several social networks, micro-blog servers, e-commerce platforms, search, and they're also going international, buying companies around the world, and investing. Yet, even though it's the third largest internet company by market capitalization in the world, most people never heard of it. So it's right after Google and Amazon, but most people never heard of it. So in terms of usage, to give you a few numbers, because it's kind of nice to have comparables. So instant messaging active accounts, they have about as many as Facebook users. They also have two social networks, one nickname-based, one real-name-based, and they have a micro-blog, so this is the latest figure actually from there. They just published their first half results. So they have 233 million micro-blog users, because they can leverage their instant messaging platform to promote whatever service they have. So this is their headquarters in Shenzhen. It's kind of nice building. And those are the revenue of the first half of this year. So they made $2 billion in the first half of this year, half of it from games, almost nothing from ads. So they make more money than Facebook. The net profit is 42%. So I think even drug dealers don't make that much. They're doing really, really well. And just with about 11% paying users. So it's pretty amazing results for a company. In the market, that's very tough. Another species I'd like to introduce, GIUN, and for this company, I picked the flightless Cormorant, because flightless Cormorant, as the name says, they cannot fly, but they can swim, and basically they adapted to be able to survive when they arrived on the Galapagos Islands. And similarly, GIUN started as a match.com copycat. And the match.com business model, which is advertising and memberships, didn't really work in China, because the market was too competitive. Advertising market was not sophisticated enough, so they had to find other ways. This company just went IPO in the US in May. Another ticker date, pretty good ticker. And the way they survived is that they were starving with ads, so they started to do, okay, let's do some kind of offline events, and they organized lots of matchmaking parties and events. And eventually, they stumbled all the idea that, okay, Tencent is doing so well with those micro transactions. What could we do? And they got the idea of selling digital stamps. So if you want to initiate communication with another user, you have to pay a stamp, or they have to pay, like one of the two. Each stamp is worth 20 cents, and now the company is making 18 million euros. So that's kind of an interesting way to survive and to adapt to the local market. Another company in the same space, actually the second largest matchmaking site. And for this one, I picked Lonsome George, which is this giant turtle here. It's kind of Lonsome, because he's the last one of his species. So it's a little bit lonely, so they're trying to pair him up with some other related species, but it's not working so well. And that's a little bit difficult for him, right? And for Chennai, this company, the way they did it, the way they actually survived, is that they created a super high-level VIP program. So, yes, sorry, it's not 200 million members, it's probably a dot missing, so about 20 million members. They have this VIP service where you have a dates manager.   So it's like you can improve your dating skills, right? So this service actually works quite well on sales for 300 euros for six months. So it's more like for people looking for serious relationships. Another one, I'll go quickly because I see that the time is short. For this one, I picked the swallowtail girl, which is the only nocturnal girl, seabird, actually, in the world. So during the day, it's just sitting there, because it doesn't have predators, and doing the night is fine. And the Van Gogh is a little bit like that, Kevin mentioned Van Gogh earlier. So it's an online apparel store with the original brand, Van Gogh, started selling online shirts, expanded to more apparel. And it's an interesting company because they started purely online, and now they're going offline. So ordinarily, it's a company that's offline trying to do something online and be cool, or actually expand their business or find new channels. This company started online and expanding offline. Their sales last year was $200 million. They just received another round of investment for a $5 billion valuation. What's interesting is that they also involve the users in selling, and they have this program of Van Gogh stars where users can show their styling ideas using their products. And by showing their style, that also encourages other users to buy. And if they buy by coming from the user page, then this user gets a 10% commission. So it's a pretty smart idea. As you can see, those ideas were triggered by the local conditions and competitions between companies, but don't have anything specifically Chinese to them. What they are are just good ideas, triggered, like created by necessity. So I'll go very quickly on this one. Invasive and Indigenous is the online game market, very big in China, mostly because there was no software market due to copies. Inspiration from Korea, and now the market is bigger than the US market. This is the market caps of combined companies. China, about 70 billion dollars. And what's interesting is that in that case, they all used, for almost all their properties, the micro-transaction, virtual goods model.  But actually in that case, the companies might be actually a full lap ahead of you already. So you see them because they already caught up with you and they're already like one lap ahead. And that's what's happening between Chinese companies and Western companies in the gaming space. To say a quick word about this, because it's actually quite important in the Chinese market is the Shanghai phenomenon. So here I picked the lava cactus, the first vegetation to arrive on a volcanic island. So it's pretty sturdy cactus that survives in tough places. This is the Apple store in Kunming. I don't know if you've heard of it. What's interesting, because it's actually not licensed by Apple, but you see the staff has all the stuff and the equipment and the store looks very Apple-ish. Those are actually real products. And they do real customer service and the staff, some of them think it's an official store when it's not. So they pushed it pretty far. And I'll do a quick awareness test. So this is a Chinese phone. Anything you can notice that's peculiar about this phone? I'll go very quickly. Two, okay, two buttons, yes. So they have two cool buttons. Okay, I'll give you the answer. So yeah, so there's a dual SIM, so you can have two SIM cards, pretty convenient if you travel. But what's interesting is this one. So this one looks a little bit like a gardening patch or something. So this is a link to your farmville, the Chinese farmville by 10 cents. So you don't get the full-fledged thing, but you have the stats and stuff. And actually, by the way, the first farm game on the social network was made in China, in Shanghai, before Zimga did it. To remember what's happening around Shanghai, I'll give you the five Fs of Shanghai's, like fun, flashy, functional, fast and almost free. And I actually brought one with me and that kind of gives you the idea. So this is a phone that actually has a shaver in it. So it's better than the Motorola Razer because it actually shaves. So it's an average phone, a bad shaver, but it's interesting and it's a great conference prop. What's interesting is that companies are now moving beyond Shanghai to create higher quality products thanks to notably Android. And now you have made by a Chinese company, the world's fastest Android CPU phone. You have also this one, HiPad by Hiya. So it sounds kind of funky, but Hiya is actually a very, very legitimate company. It's the world's largest maker of household products like washing machine and stuff like that. And it's a very good product. It was Android 2.2 for 100 euros. The world's first Android 3.2 tablet by Huawei Telecom Maker. I'll have to skip on that very quickly. So basically for foreign companies, most of them didn't do so well in China because they failed to mutate. Recently I've seen that the makers of Angry Birds have actually done quite well localizing, so they even have Angry Birds mooncakes that they're selling. Quickly on Groupon, there's so many players that the margins have gone down dramatically. So it's not even a good business at that point. Funding, some local companies are getting, give them an advantage to survive, but it's still very competitive. And last and one more thing, a company actually involved in it called Simune, and I would call that a new hybrid, in that sense that the company is based in China, but doesn't target China as a market, but takes ideas from China and the West. It's actually a gaming company that made the largest 3D game on Facebook called Uber Strike. So made from China for the world. And what's really interesting is that this is probably the highest tech game, real-time 3D inside the browser, inside Facebook, and made from China by a mix of local and foreign developers. So this is, I think, one example of the new species that are going to spread, hopefully, from any market. Benjamin, I'm sorry, we really have to finalize because we have the next one coming in in a couple of minutes. So that's my last slide. So the future of digital PCs, so I would encourage you to study the ecosystem, discover new species, adapt, survive, and thrive. Thank you. Thank you. Thanks.


Hello everyone welcome to another Narx Fibre Live video. Yes as you probably noticed there is But the noise in the background as always But I'm still gonna continue with this video and do the best that I can So yes the topic for this one is Do this To make the narcissist miss you because it's actually a lot easier than you might think and a lot of situations it is very easy to make a narcissist miss you and What you need to do To get the narcissist to miss you is you need to feed their ego Because that's all they really want when they come out around you They just want a piece of the action They want you to tell them how great they are How beautiful how handsome How rich and successful Intelligence all of these things and Yeah, I mean that's the same for a lot of people of course We all like validation. We like to know that we're on the right path We're doing the right thing people recognize our hard work or achievements But with narcissists it is typically the superficial things Things that didn't really require Too much of their time and effort so Some narcissists may be naturally blessed with good looks or Or They may have been born into a family with a lot of money So they didn't have to worry in anything And yet they will put these things on display and they will want validation They want you to feed their ego And when you do that Make some feel alive Make some feel like there's something important something special So doing that and then pulling away Giving them that chance to chase you to chase your validation. Yes That will make them miss you And not only that but giving them a taste of what they want And that could be anything that could be Giving the narcissist money Giving them a place to stay Giving them a sex Giving them all of these things and then Cutting it off But then also kind of teasing them and enticing them with it Making them think that yes, you just need to put in the work You need to chase after me and then I'll give you Exactly what you're looking for When you do that, of course, it will make them think about you Because that's how you get them to miss you It's to get them to be thinking about you But of course Narcissists are not just gonna be thinking about anyone You've got to have something That leaves them to think so Another thing that you can do And This is a very effective tactic You give them a compliment But it's kind of like a sneaky Sly Like you kind of teasing them But they don't really know if you're teasing them or not So you kind of give them a compliment in a way where it seems where it could be sarcastic or it could be genuine and they don't actually know So it leaves them to think about it and I don't I don't know about you but sometimes You know, I've noticed on my own experience when I like someone I Can be quite awkward in some Social situations Where I do exactly that And it's not even I'm trying to manipulate someone it just comes out naturally And I've noticed in the past this really gets people addicted to me Where I'll say something and I could say it like gosh You look really beautiful today other than the other person is thinking Is this a genuine compliment or not? Does he actually mean it? And I'm thinking of my mind. Yes, this is a genuine compliment. This is actually how I feel in this moment But it leaves them wondering it leaves them wanting more Because they're not very sure whether you mean it or not This is effective with anyone But is it is especially effective with narcissist because as we know Yes, they are very insecure They are very concerned about superficial things Like their success and accomplishments their physical appearance all of their stuff So Yeah, you give them a little compliment and then you pull back And then you leave them to chase you and seek that validation that reassurance where it's like Did you actually mean that what you said?   Yes I mean for me in my past It's not really something I ever thought about something I've always done naturally Because typically in my own experience I do tend to Have a lot of resistance Towards the very things that I want And also at times the things that I don't want as well So at times it can be very difficult to tell what it is that I actually want Which is why Naturally at times I can come across as Socially awkward Believe it or not because I know you see me now And I seem like such a confident powerful person And I understand that But yes, there are other sides to me and when I am presented With something That I find To be very Attractive maybe challenging Then yes I do find that I Can kind of distance myself And then I want to release the resistance And I do that maybe by complimenting someone But because there's still a bit of resistance there doesn't come across as a genuine compliment Which leaves the other individual wanting more And Yeah, that really gets the retention when you do that I mean that is really where the power is And if you explore this Idea and you look into it yourself You will see that yes, it is very true Because The most powerful Compliment And this goes for insults as well the most powerful compliment or insult Is one which Wasn't intentional One that just happened by chance And then the next thing up to that is One that Was Deliberate but it didn't really come out right in the way that you intended And then what comes last is One that's pre-meditated it's pre-planned you already thought it out And you may have even been quite hesitant to say or do it and it comes across as Just very fake and ingenuous. It's obvious that Maybe you didn't really mean it or you only said it with the intention of manipulating that person And that is just Very unattractive when you do that That will just push the person away It won't make them miss you. It'll just make them think yes I've got this person all figured out and exactly what they want And I feel no desire or need to give it to them So yes, this is the psychology behind it And you would think that a man like myself With all of this knowledge and experience When I go out into the field Into the world As I have these interactions with real people in my life You might assume that it's very unnatural That everything is pre-meditated everything is planned out, but actually no almost never I am always in the moments And the interactions that I have with people are very real They're very real. I never Really plan anything out unless I feel like I'm in danger Then of course in those situations I might have to but then it's not going to be any fun And in those situations it's only designed to protect myself I'm not thinking about how I can advance or develop anything with another person But in actuality that is very rare for me anyway because I'm not really too concerned about that At this moment in time, I am really more focused on my own self-development And just becoming the best person that I can be Although I do like to share bits and pieces myself As well I do like to share my energy And just make other people happy But then I also don't mind walking away For me, yes, I actually enjoy The the act of Missing someone Yes, I can quite honestly say that I do enjoy that I personally believe that love is about letting go And that moment of separation Yes, it does leave you wanting more and I think that desire that I feel enough wanting more It's important. Yes, it has a place in our lives as well Especially when that desire Leads you to want to take action Then it can be very powerful I mean just that feeling of longing and yearning for something Yes, that can be very powerful as well It may be something that you don't really like in the beginning, but As time goes by It makes you feel something It makes you feel something And that's really what will help you with anything in life Because when you look at these narcissists and how they don't feel anything I can quite honestly say that I would rather feel Something Rather than nothing even if it is Just pain and despair I'd rather go with that But yes, this is what you have to do If you want the Narcissists to miss you Because I know I understand a lot of you Yes, you may be going through this process the situation Where certain things have happened you feel Unwanted By this individual You feel like They don't really want you they've always got their eye on someone else And you want to Reignite That passion That sexual Desire and yes, that is actually quite possible This is exactly how you do that It is by Feeding their ego And then pulling away because that leaves them wanting more And there's nothing wrong with that. I mean Yes, it may come across as manipulation, but it depends. What are you trying to do with it? Because everyone wants to feel attractive We want to feel sexy We want to feel like Someone just wants to rip our clothes off And do it now Of course, we want to feel like that sometimes A narcissist are no different At least some of them because Some narcissists can be asexual others can be Hypersexual and this can also change back and forth from moment to time But yes, that is really what you have to do Even with those narcissists who may come across as asexual This is how you reignite that passion And desire and make them Or rather leave them wanting more Yes, it's by feeding their ego giving them a little bit of validation, but also giving them compliments Whether they wonder Is this real? Is this true? Or is there a subliminal message behind it because by doing that It may frustrate them sexually and It may make them Want to develop and advance something with you It will make them think about you It will make them miss you So yeah, that's really what you have to do It really is that simple And yeah, there's nothing wrong Short term You want to have some fun with an narcissist? Just don't get your feelings too much involved And Just recognize it can be a bit of fun Maybe for one night stands maybe for a weekend I just wouldn't advise developing it into something long-term But yes, you can have some fun with them especially in the beginning And I think it's good for them too because You know, you have to remember that narcissists they are people They still exist and Yes, of course, they want fun too And a lot of them they're very frustrated with their lives So Even if it is manipulation You are giving them what they want you're not Harming them you're giving them something that they want Because yes, of course, we all want that passion We want that desire at times in our life And there's nothing wrong with that at all I think there is a Misconception when think when people think about manipulation and seduction It's only bad if it's intended to harm someone Especially if it's intended to harm someone over a long period of time and with intense pain suffering and misfortune Because of course remember sometimes you do have to be cruel to be to be kind So Yes, I think it is important to recognize The difference in that as well Because you have to recognize that if things were just All good and happy all of the time It would get boring very fast It really would And no one can really develop anything in that anyway Even in a normal relationship. Yes, there does have to be ups and downs There has to be a little bit of drama sometimes You just need to know when to pull the reins in on it when it's gone too far When it's no longer a game When shit gets real you have to know when to stop But having a bit of fun with it Especially when you're doing it with the intention of the other person's enjoyment Because yes, you know a bit of frustration here and there that can lead to even more satisfaction So Yeah, there's nothing wrong with making someone miss you a little bit. There's nothing wrong with that at all But that that does not give you this this green light Just go and harm and do whatever you want with this person Just because You think or you know that they are a narcissist And they're bad they're going out of their way to harm people Two wrongs do not make a right Just because someone did that to you it doesn't mean that you've got to go out And harm people as well, of course not You must still continue on your path And be who you are Be who you are supposed to be Be a good person a kind person A generous person within A reasonable limit, of course You must also be careful to Not cause any harm to yourself But yes, there's nothing wrong with having a little bit of fun now and again Teasing them enticing them There's nothing wrong with that at all I mean, we all like to play little games now and again But just don't let it go too far Where you see that it's putting someone in serious danger That's when your Empathy should kick in and you should recognize okay This is not a game anymore so Yes I would say that But if elation seduction it isn't completely Bad, of course. Yes, there are times When it is When you are deliberately misleading someone deliberately intending To harm someone But of course, this should be obvious. This should be common sense I mean, this isn't really something that I Should have to outline. I don't think And of course, I don't advise anyone to do that As I said two wrongs Do not make A right But yeah other than that if you want to make the narcissist miss you that's all you've got to do I mean I would say just to leave the narcissist alone You know if you're in a harmful situation And you're being manipulated and there's no Empathy or compassion for you Then you should probably get yourself out of that But yeah, I mean it's really your decision It's up to you What you want to do And of course What we do we may Then suffer the consequences of These actions so it's important to be aware of that as well But yeah, I didn't want this video to be too serious. It was just meant to be A bit of fun a bit of enjoyment. That's all So I hope you got something out of that And I hope it's helpful for you Maybe you can Have a bit of fun with an narcissist in your life and you know give them A bit of fun as well because as I said, yes, we are all people We all exist so Yeah, I don't think there's anything wrong with that although you do need to know When to pull away as well As I said, I recommend Just one-eyed stands, maybe a weekend If there's anything long term with attachments That's only going to cause problems for you It really is So I don't recommend that at all But if you're dealing with them short to You want to make them miss you then yeah, that's all you have to do So that's it. I hope this video was helpful for you If it was please give it a thumbs up down below Let me know your thoughts in the comment section.
