So welcome to this business and strategy session. We're going to introduce an enterprise solution that we both use in Drupal. So I'm going to introduce myself. My name is P.K. I'm from Manchester. So I'm the CEO of LiveLink, which is a Drupal shop. And predominantly we're a kind of marketing agency that focuses on technology and delivering marketing solutions and marketing automation solutions. We mainly use Drupal, Drupal Commerce, Copernica, which is a marketing automation engine, and BitHide, which is an analytics engine. Because we figured that data is important, not just to deliver the right kind of solution, but also ongoing marketing, kind of relevant, timely marketing unique, the right kind of data. I'm going to introduce Ed. Hi, I'm Ed Abbas. I'm the head of Manchester Soccer Schools. I'm going to give you a little bit of an overview in terms of who we are, what we do, and why we've done this project. So we're the International Grassroots Football Division of Manchester United, the commercial arm. There are four pillars to that. The academy, the foundation, charitable arm, centre of excellence, and then what we do around the world. We predominantly deliver to children ages 8 to 18, but we've delivered to children who are younger and to people up to 80 years of age, but we have been checked whenever we've done that. We are what we call an authentic experience. When I say that, I mean that what we deliver on the field to children of all abilities is essentially the same training practices that the Manchester United First Team and Academy employ every day. But we do it in a way that the children are able to take part, but that they feel like everybody's the pro as a First Team player mind. I'm actually employed by Nike. Nike run Manchester United Soccer Schools as part of the wider long-term merchandising agreement.  As you said, we reach thousands of children in every part of the world. And our programmes, generally speaking, operated with experts, partners in different territories. We have a relatively small team back in Manchester. We do all of the strategy, the curriculum, and quality control to make sure it's delivered in the right manner. All of the coaching is done with our own coaches. Generally sent from Manchester, who work for us all over the world. But these part, these expert partners in each territory allow us to bring a scalability that our small team and our own wouldn't be able to deliver. But what we have identified is with that small team, that clearly digital is a massive opportunity for us to reach far and wide. And in LiveLink, we found a company that were very much like-minded in the structures that we were trying to pursue. We created this project in order to ensure that we had consistency against all of the different operations we have around the world, and hopefully then harness some synergies for everyone's benefit. We have about 10 partners around the world in various locations, which I'll come into in a second. And when we went into this, they had each one of those operate at a standalone website with some had e-commerce engines, some didn't have e-commerce engines, and turned it to all operate to a certain degree in isolation. We came in and we said, well, look, that's not going to benefit everyone. We need to bring all of this together. So we started off with our main MBSS, hope the main site, and then gradually now we're rolling out part of many sites. So to give a sense of where we operate, we have full-time operators in India, China, Singapore, and in the Middle East, and then we have seasonal camps as well, in places like Scandinavia, Italy, and Japan. All of these partners all have different goals, all have different needs, but what we've tried to do is be a support for them, essentially. So just to give you a bit of an idea of the project description or the impossible task that we gave PK and Rivalink, we came to where we said we wanted to create a consistent digital presence to elevate the brand and market out in sector schools. It needs to have a central e-commerce engine, but that central e-commerce engine needs to be able to then load out to each individual partner site with individual products. That would help us hopefully to drive standardisation across reporting, because we would have got different types of reports from different projects, although with this we'll have one single view, essentially. We had three global sites that we needed to merge together, because it made no sense to fragment the traffic, as we had it previously. But what we wanted to do, as we said earlier, was enable partners to sell unique products in each of their local markets, dependent on cultural differences, the needs of the footballers in those countries. We have different products, so we needed to make sure we could represent that as part of this project. And by doing this, by having this consistency and this central hub, hopefully my team, essentially, in Manchester could increase marketing collaboration and support for those partners, so hopefully everyone gets more out of it. So in terms of the requirements, just to keep it simple, we need to be multi-site, multi-region, multi-linked. Not a difficult request, but only. It needs to be B2B and B2C, e-commerce based. Multiple checkouts using multiple currencies. Responsive theme, because obviously everyone's using Google now. And with marketing automation features. Oh yeah, and with the content pollution workflow as well. And all of that, hopefully, drafts a fantastic reporting suite for us so I can say that we are correct and all of our partners are doing a fantastic job for us. So I'm going to hand to PK now to explain how we made sense of everything that we wanted. Actually, mainly we didn't. We kind of did. So we started off with a base group of commerce module, set of modules, and before we embarked on developing this project, delivering this project, we know commerce really well and we've done many, many projects using commerce. So Drupal commerce became kind of a defacto default solution. Because as we understood the project and its requirements, it became obvious that we needed a really flexible checkout system and Drupal commerce does that really well with extra pains. We needed to validate forms as they were being filled. I'm going to, through the slides, I'm going to show you that there are multiple steps to checkout and there's a lot of information gathering during the process before the checkout and after the checkout. So Drupal commerce is quite strong at doing that. We also used views extensively and I'll cover some of that a bit later. And also the ability to handle many payment types. So that was also kind of a strong part of what Drupal commerce can deliver. The other idea, the other key things were kind of using the entity API and the field API because of the nature of multi-steps and multiple kind of data sets that we required. Views, huge number of reports, very custom and because views uses fields with custom entities and especially because we're storing player details. So the main kind of thing was broken down into eight steps during the project planning stage and the requirements were as had kind of created vaguely set out. So we then kind of proceeded on to the next step which was to actually designing the user journeys. So that was the kind of first step. So understand broadly what the client wants and then we tried to make sense of it by actually planning out the journeys, the typical user journeys. And invariably, a visitor would end up coming to the site, viewing a camp or a course, add something to the basket, check out and then along that process there were a lot of details being captured. So I'm going to detail out some of those a little bit later. And then the key, key thing about this project was in the way Drupal commerce was used which is once you create an order in Drupal it invariably cannot be modified but the system actually that Manchester United required was that the order could be modified afterwards. Okay? So a number of things can be done with the order afterwards. So this was quite unique. Oh, we believe it's unique. So the first step was to optimize the checkouts and the first step invariably is fairly standard these days where you capture just an email address because that then enables you to get an artist abandoned because of the complex nature of the form filling that's required. All that information usually is not available at hand by the user so they may abandon the basket at some point in the process. So we made sure that just capturing the email address gave us the ability to then communicate with them automatically. So I'll cover a bit of that a little bit later. And once you completed your booking you then could come back and view your orders and actually the system would tell you what sort of things you haven't done and what sort of things you need to do or what sort of things you need to book more on top of that initial order. So the same order gets modified multiple times. So the first thing we addressed were what data were we looking to capture? So in this case we were looking to capture parent's details or guardian's details, and normally name, age, gender and medical details. Now some of this data is actually used to validate whether they are appropriate for that particular camp. So like age is used in that way. Also the details of the person transacting which may not necessarily be the parent or the guardian. So again it's a third party. Also the ability to actually have multiple product types. So we were selling courses, camps, airport transfers, weekend stays, visa support letters because a lot of the kids come from all over the world and they may require visas to enter the United Kingdom. And also multiple payment methods. So editing an order multiple times was a big challenge. Do you guys familiar with commerce and the way it works? No? Okay, well it can do this. Okay, it's a huge amount of customization but it can do it. Another complication that was added was the ability, because of the value of the order, these are high value products. So typically a top end course is over 2,000 pounds. Yeah, we have some courses that are 800 pounds, 2,300 pounds, so it's difficult for people to essentially pay all that all in one go. So we need to give them the opportunity to pay over a period of time. So initially just to get the booking, they can take a part payment and check out. And then they can come back and pay off the balances. But not only that, they can also come back and purchase extras. And there are many types of extras that they can pay. The other big thing was also the ability to actually check out without paying anything at all. I mean, I think that's a bit crazy, right? But actually it works because it allows people to just go through the checkout and then they know they can come back and pay. And they can come back and pay with the bank transfers and credit cards and such. Also the admin staff can also, when they receive bank transfers, they can apply the payments on behalf of the customer. Okay, so they can do that manually. The big aspect of the system was the ability to order extras. These are all kind of upsells and cross-sell, not cross-sell, but upsell. So these are extras to the camp itself. So think like airport transfers, weekend stays, matchday tickets, and soccer kits. So these are all things we can sell afterwards and they can be attached to the original order. The reference number is the same always. So just to kind of recap, so we require one global site, many partner sites. The site database shares users' orders and content. Okay, so it was a very kind of integrated system. Each site or a partner site has a unique set of products. So we used a number of, I mean these are two kind of key modules we used. We used probably 50, 60 different modules. And some custom modules were also developed for the system. But domain access, are you familiar with domain access module? Yeah, so that was used to control permissions because what we wanted was a system where global admin role could go in at any site whereas localized admin could only control and modify and manage the local sites. We also used the work bit module. I think some guys will be familiar with that also. Also to control the content workflow as to how content could be published locally in less than India and it could either be then pushed into the global site or vice versa. The other big requirement which hasn't touched on was apart from the B2C element of the system, we also needed a B2B system because apart from being able to sell local camps, we also have field agents, sales field agents. So we have sales agents around the world which could be, they could be a state agent, not a state agent, it's not sales agents, they could be specialist sport tour agents and they also then sell in whichever territory they're an expert for group bookings. Now it's beneficial to them because they might organize the travel that the airport transfers themselves so it's a business for them but it's great for us because then we maybe get rather than one individual booking we'll get 20 or 30 coming as a group and we also know that they'll have a group leader so it takes a lot of the pain away of them managing that group that are coming over to the UK for us. So we forgot to mention this at the early stage of the project that we needed this as well. So this was kind of another mini application within the application itself where an agent could come along and actually make block bookings and then fill out player details by uploading a CSV file. The agents also had slightly different payment options. Their roles would also signify what commissions they received. They also could generate invoices for each booking that they made either as whole booking or as part booking for each child so they could supply invoicing direct to the parents. Also we used another key module we used was the Drupal Message module which was used which automatically generates emails to chase the payments for unpaid payments. For administration, menus were customized to be used workflow using Workbench. Also the admin role allowed orders to be amended by admin staff. And the other kind of nifty little feature which is standard Drupal is the ability to log changes. Every time you touched an order and did something on it it would create a log with the order. So when you viewed it underneath there's a log of all the activity. And that is automatically generated by the system. So that becomes very useful. And also if somebody were to cancel an order again it can be handled automatically with an email that is sent to the customer. The reporting engine was developed. There are many many reports that were specified. I think originally there were about 25 different reports which were going to boil down into 10 key reports which did the role of 25 different reports. So you could for example an abundant basket was a kind of key feature. How to manage abundant cards was a key feature requirement up front. So there's a report that we use with creative views that allowed the admin staff to actually come and use that as a lead generation tool either then and afterwards. So the system itself would manage the abundant cards. So there are time delayed emails. I'm going to show you a diagram that's quite complicated which does that process. And there are many many other things that the admin can draw, the information they can draw. Because some of it is operational, some of it is for sales, some is for marketing. For example for operational reports we have kind of an insurance report for example. So this report would specify because this is required by the insurance company would list children and group them in age groups for the purpose of insurance. Make sure they ensure while they are in the care in the MESS care. For marketing we developed a multi-step, many many multi-step emails which would generate depending on where you were in the checkout or if you had already checked out or if you had bought an extra and so on and so on. And there are many many many of these. I'm going to show you a great example of one of those. And if you're not using that you should use the message module because it's a fantastic configurable module for exactly this kind of purpose. Also all the data that we were collecting about transactions, users and so on was also being pushed into the Copernica marketing automation engine which is then used now to actually automate a lot of the other marketing outside of the transactions. We're also now in the second phase of this project where we're actually helping MESS with email marketing, social media, search and display remarketing and landing pages based on what we call optimizing pages as you go along so you look at the performance of various key pages and if they're not quite right we experiment and we optimize and create landing pages. We're also going to be introducing website tracking which is more akin to scoring people as they land you create a profile and you score them based on their journey during their visits either single or multiple visits and when you know who they are when they're going to put something in the basket and they go through the checkout you then attach all of the history browsing history with the site to their profile. So that then gives us an insight into what we're looking for next season where we will then know what the typical journeys look like what are the top 10 journeys, for example and try and optimize them. So this is very much a business application that actually is optimized or we want to optimize it to deliver maximum revenue. So this is a diagram I was going to show you so this is typically somebody's actually put a camp trying to book a camp and put them in the basket and they have a football language which is a specific course that teaches football and also English language because a lot of the kids that come from Russia China and they're not very good with English so they get taught soccer as well as English. So it's a great selling so this is a kind of automated messaging example that we've developed using the message module and a little bit of customization but essentially it's a workflow as to you've paid not paid, how much have you paid some of these emails are time delayed so you know 7 days later what happens 14 days later what happens based on your previous action or inaction and the ultimate goal is to get them get the user through this time based thing get the payment and prepare them to send their child to the camp so it works really really well. So it's going to present what kind of impact we've had so far. So as BK said there's been a lot of work that's gone into this so far and we haven't stopped yet we're always looking to optimize whether it be the front end, the back end the experience of the parents, the children who come on the camps we thought we'd just give you a bit of an idea of what we've seen as success so far which we were hoping to get out of this project but certainly bringing true so we've seen the numbers go 5% and that might seem like a relatively small increase but the external markets have not changed all that much and we've seen this through word of mouth people that used the website before that they were getting a better experience so they're coming back to start to use it. Our conversion rate because it's such a high value product you know we don't need to sell that many of them to actually drive the piece that we're driving but we've virtually doubled that conversion rate in the short space of time we've been running this project now which obviously at this stage of the sales process that we're in right now for this summer has had a huge impact. We've also seen 5% of our revenue now coming from abandoned basket emails alone that's something that we never had before we had no option to do that we didn't know if someone came on and abandoned but that was it, they were gone that was our last opportunity now we have the automated emails that go out and give them different messages to hopefully get them to come back but also if emails don't work we have the details so we can contact them we can phone them, we can email them personally we can use all manner of ways to try and encourage them to come and purchase so that kind of jumping in revenue for us has been huge something that we probably we had an idea of when we started but probably didn't realise the benefits of it because we're in line with the administration and hence the reducing of costs not just for us centrally our HQ also for all of our partners around the world they all pay we centrally paid to invest in this but all our partners pay a licence fee to be part of this which was a fraction of what they were paying before to run their own websites with 10, 20 times more ability to do things than they've had before most of them never even did our e-commerce before to be with them and each time there's an increase in revenue for mobile devices which anybody who's doing a building website with responsive things will know how important that is that's huge for us as well and we're finding more and more people now are using our websites and encouraging whether it be mobile or tablets and it's something we're trying to encourage more and more we've made some mistakes as well and we've got a lot of negative stuff now out of the positive stuff it leaves all the mess it gets to me so along the way we made some assumptions that were probably incorrect during the discovery phase we probably didn't discover enough we focused actually a lot of our focus initially was on user journeys and the flexibility that was required by the system but there were a lot of levels in the detail and it proved true there were some aspects that we didn't discover until we were halfway through the project and then we had to rework some of the bits which is quite typical for a complex project like this because sometimes it's just not possible to discover everything but we should try we didn't you know because the nature of Drupal is flexibility and there are many ways of doing the same thing so we probably didn't focus enough on how we store the data because how are we going to ever use it so if you start from what you need you can then decide on how you're going to store stuff and how you're going to use it afterwards so data structure was very important and the granularity of it was important we also actually towards the end of the project we discovered that there were some aspects that were missing we hadn't discovered so part payment was one of them which is a challenge in its own right somebody will tell you if you've ever worked with commerce have you done part payments it's a difficult one there isn't a ready-made module that does it so we had to write one of them and there were other aspects also especially taking part payments bent deposits and all those kind of stuff so those are the kind of things that I think discovery is very important because sometimes a client will not tell you everything if you've not asked the right questions you won't discover it and sometimes you just don't know to ask the right question so more talking actually is very important you know to talk more work things through a little bit more so next phase what are we doing so we've already done three sites I think we're about to launch India so India is being launched we launched Italy last month and we already launched the global site and the UK site so we're kind of launching one on a site per month but I think we're going to accelerate that so I think within the next three months this phase of the project will be complete we're also implementing a content strategy to try and get more traffic to the site and then we process every three months we look at the customer journeys and optimise some of them and try and hopefully improve the conversion conversion rates and then the key thing is Ed always wanted a world domination type a colourful dashboard that I could give to management so Ed wants some colour and some graphics and all that to see to actually deliver the metrics that he wants to keep an eye on so we're also building in a dashboard and we have an application that has been built by LiveLink and it's called BitHive go and check it out it's called BitHive B-I-T-H-W-I-V-E dot com so I think I hope it's been useful for you guys if you have any questions we'll take a few questions I think we've got plenty of time no technical questions for me please neither of us are technically I'm at the business end of the presentation so well first born and raised in Evertonian so treat David well I head of international and Evertonian so treat Mr. Moyes well he's been really good for us so talking about your timed message releases was that all managed completely by that the message module was Drupal what managed your actual email going out yes so all the transactional emails and abandoned emails and payment anything related to payment and so everything that is generated within Drupal using the message module and did you find much of a performance fit is Drupal the right tool to manage that well I think these are not high-volume emails so you're probably sending out maybe depending on your transaction levels but maybe no more than 50 hundred emails per day so it doesn't usually have a huge impact on your application just a question around the rollouts for your partner sites what sort of strategy did you go with at the start and why are you accelerating from a month to more of a quicker rollout I guess in terms of the strategy for rollouts he's been more on a need basis which partners needed were already more ahead in the curve in terms of e-commerce so we were comfortable with them keeping their websites in the short term until we got some of the ones that had more of a need did you have a training rollout strategy for the partner sites which you mean because it's global yeah we've had them over to Manchester the live link have also prepared some video tutorials documentation we have to hold their hand in the short term as well so we'll do a bit of that for them from e-commerce as well to help them through the process of using it as well so it's not a fast process because we're effective these are more than websites this is their business engine in a lot of ways so it's holding their hand for probably you know the rollouts I guess to a certain degree not for PK but for us it's the easy bit and then it's making sure they're comfortable with it and also making sure they get the most out of it as time goes by with the documentation did you have both an online and offline experience or did you build an online documentation too I mean the main way we deliver this is through actually screen capture and then put a voice over so we do it more visually rather than actually can hear words and we've done the screen take over training as well so obviously while they're at their computer maybe in India we've taken over their screen and shown them what worked them through the actual administration system as well so they can see how to use it and one more question how are you guys going to manage global priorities or partner sites requesting features on the sites as it all go through one central management or can partner sites request new features that will roll out because I understand using domain access which is one database across multiple domains but obviously all these partner sites might have different feature requests because the country is at their end actually all the features are available in all for all partner sites so there is a degree of standardization here we try and not customize each partner site to that kind of degree the main thing that they can customize is content and products but beyond that no the features are the features that is decided centrally by HQ what we have said to them is because we understand as well that most of them have maybe not got at the moment got the sophistication that we're trying to bring to this as well for them but what we have said over time once we're bedded in and all partners are up and running then we'll try and look at it on a three month basis ok what are the things that you would like and everyone submit their ideas now if there are things that everyone needs then we'll probably fund that centrally if an individual partner wants to do something themselves and it's going to be a massive drive for their business then we'll let them fund it via live link so there will be potentially customizable things but they have thought this as well they need to invest if they want to do that but mainly the features are then rolled back to all the sites whether they use them or not but they're available thank you very much so all the reporting is that all done with views yes most yes it is in fact yes yes it is possible it really is it requires a lot of work but it is possible and also we've also got the export features so when you create a view for something we can also export the data so you can just take it and it just does it and also in the views you can add filtering so there's a lot of flexibility in views and there are some advanced features within views that you can use to generate these reports I work with a non-profit and just like you our core product is relatively valuable it's a child sponsorship so it has a relatively high long term value and so just like you we have a fairly low conversion rate for our product my question is when you're looking at optimization have you been able to implement live audience testing A-B testing or multidariate testing with a conversion rate like that or have you used other methods of optimization yes we've already in fact in fact within couple of weeks I think literally within couple of weeks I noticed that there was a drop off during the journey because the camps were not visible where they should be so we actually merged couple of steps into one step and kind of optimized that so we constantly look to do live testing constantly so any key page during the journey or even as a landing page is optimized and tested but this is an ongoing process of course be sure to tell you as well that I'm the biggest pain when it comes to those kind of things I'm constantly looking at the website every hour of the day thinking how can I make that content better can we place that particular module about a camp in a better place that might be more visible it's not easy because obviously we're not necessarily that consumer and sometimes you only find out by moving it and doing it and then you realize that in a fairly typical demanding age that I am within about two weeks we were already doing that and we'd not even really finished more on any of the sides What tool are you using for that? What tool are you using for the testing? Oh we use the Google Webmaster Tools Oh you use Webmaster Tools? Because again there is no Drupal module that does that for you and I'll be honest with you it's something that's been in the back of my head for a very long time we developed we started to develop a new theming engine for Drupal 7 which kind of we finished but one of the key features of this was the ability to actually create pages on the fly to do the A B split tests but we kind of shelved that because the amount of energy that was required to keep it up to date and introduce the responsive element it just became a bit too much it was a resource hungry beast so we've killed it It's a difficult challenge Yeah absolutely Thank you Anybody else? Not difficult one please It's a long day Sort of technical With your partner sites do they have responsibility because you're using the domain access and you're giving them certain rights do they have responsibility or I guess when it comes to asset management do you have any ideas about sharing content and images across the partner sites or is it? So like image libraries and so on they are shared so there is a central repository for assets that you need content can then just be created on a per domain basis and then you may decide you may have the role that says you can publish this elsewhere apart from your own so maybe if there's a piece of news or something which is of interest globally that can be pushed into HQ where a content manager would then decide whether to publish it or not so they may just tweak it and then publish it globally So the Indian party could put the content on their site and make coffee up to us but we'll have to say yes that's okay we'll put on the global site as well And how did you go up there when you come to SEO when you came to the global site did you have that sort of canonical link? Yeah absolutely So it goes both ways whoever decides whoever is actually publishing the content or creating the content can decide where it might be of use and even you may find that when the published content globally the Indian market manager may decide that story of interest into India and they can pull that story and actually publish it Alright thanks a lot Thank you Anybody else? Well thank you for attending this session I hope you found it useful and if you need any more information well you can Actually if you want to put my email and stuff So anyway if you want to write it down it's pkltl.uk.com or come and see us at liveindewmedia.com Thank you


Hi everyone, Joe for jasmiescasebreaks.com, coming at you with a pack of prism football. Value pack break number 34 is gonna unlock illusions here. We've got a few different dice rolls here. Let's do the first dice roll where we're giving away extra spots, eight of them to be precise within this pack break. Let's roll it, randomize it. Five into five, 10 the hard way. And good luck, 10th and final time. After 10, we got Nestor, Joe, Anhel, Brian, Anhel, Jason, Anhel and Anhel. Eight, top eight after 10, getting some extra spots, nice. All right, now let's gather everybody's names. Again, now let's do the pack break itself. All 32 teams are in. Let's roll and randomize it, four and a one, five times. Three, four and five. Four and a one, five times for the teams. All right, no trade windows, but here's the first half of the list right there. And there's the second half of the list right over here. It's print and rip. There's the final print out, hot off the presses. Try to make this toner last as long as possible. Nice CJ Stroud, prism break, we'll take that. And that green parallel, Anhel, the Texans. I think these green parallels might be exclusive to, exclusive to this set maybe. I think so, and those red, white and blues. All right, now let's flip back over here. Our third and final dice roll will give away teams. In fact, let me grab the team list right here. These are the teams that were given away. So we're just randomizing your names, not the teams. So team name on top will get the Detroit Lions. Third and final dice roll, top 10 will get teams in the next break after nine. Three and a six, nine times, good luck. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight and ninth and final time. All right, so from Joe on down to Anhel, sad times, but appreciate you getting in. But happy times with the top 10. You're getting teams, Anhel, Logan, Joe, Brian, Anhel, Jason, Nestor, Brian, Kyle and Anhel. Top 10 getting in, top 10 after nine. Let's match you up with the teams. So Anhel with the Detroit Lions, Kyle with Kansas City, Brian with the Rams, Nestor with Baltimore, Jason with My Raiders, Anhel with the Niners, Brian with the Eagles, Joe with the Titans, Logan with the Bengals, and Anhel with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. We'll put Prism Val 34. Next year, you'll notice from these Prism value pack break number 34. We'll see you in the next video for the break, jaskiescasebreaks.com.

We're gonna go over six different aspects and see which one is the most likely So let's jump in today's market. See what the heck just happened. So today is Thanksgiving Day. So congratulations. We made it Have a great Thanksgiving for all of you Americans out there US residents for everybody else You don't really know what's going on It's just a day for us to give thanks and eat a ton of food. That's what it comes down to also before you get into the article You may have noticed that my audio may sound Good or may sound not so great I'm using a new setup because yesterday's microphone just crashed on me and there was a lot of different issues with it So we'll see how this new setup goes and just give me some feedback Think about the audio and if it does work, then we'll keep this if not, we'll do some more upgrades. So anyhow, here's what happened Bitcoin massive Pullback, I'm not gonna say a dump because people always say it's not a dump Okay, well, we'll set we'll cut a pullback which I think of what it is And this is what I'm always talking about as far as dollar-cost averaging You can go all in at some point and that's cool and you know, but you have to wait a long time This is just a safer option, especially when these types of dips happen to me. This is a godsend I don't know what it is for you. But for me, this is enormous I am super happy today because I can buy Bitcoin at a 10% flash sale How awesome and actually I sent out a tweet and I said, hey for all you people sitting down on your Thanksgiving Table and you're telling all your friends and family loved ones about Bitcoin. Don't forget to mention this Hey, Bitcoin has become so mainstream that it's also doing a Black Friday Flash sale so just like everything else out there best buy and Walmart and everything else Bitcoin's also getting the game and they're having a flash sale right now You can get it for 10% off maybe 20% by Friday. Who knows so just remember to tell them that that's what's going on Also, everything's just down. So I'm not gonna go over it. It doesn't really matter We know it's down massively, but if you're a dollar-cost average like me, this is such a great day And that's it. I before I move into on the next story Remember when I got in into crypto in 2017 and then everything crashed and all these different pundits All these people that are really not around anymore That they said something that would totally infuriate me, which is the same thing I just told you which is oh, there's such a great day cuz it's down so much I was like who the hell you talking to do you see how bad that the market is I didn't understand the power of dollar-cost averaging and now I totally get it.  I can't believe how bad this went This is awful, but I hadn't put in the time. I hadn't put in the work And here I am at this point in the game.  So right now just take it for a grain of salt if you dollar-cost average This is a great day if you haven't and you're just starting into it. Just take your lumps That's all I can say money isn't made overnight There are no get rich quick schemes and these are the things that you have to do These are the things that I've done. I've taken over three years now I've taken my lumps my hard hits and this is what it is. All right Let's jump in today's top story. So six reason why Bitcoin collapse This is gonna get deep on the very after we go through the whole thing the very first one I'll get out. I'm gonna backtrack to this another great piece by alex dob. Yeah, gotta get him on the show He never responds my Twitter my tweets no love. Anyhow, so it states here They kind of lost over 2000 its value over the past 24 hours. Yeah, pretty big massive dip right went to 17 to now It's at 17 one may even break into the 16s. Who knows so there's six reasons There's a Mnuchin bombshell brutal rejection close the all-time high Overheating futures market high social volume whales sending coins to exchange and declining network activity So I'm gonna go over this first one. I'm gonna briefly touch on it But I think this is the biggest one and I'll I'm gonna backtrack in a bit So Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong expressed his concerns about outgoing Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin Rushing draconian crypto wallet regulations. Here's a quote or we'll go into it later Mnuchin who was personally told by President Trump to go after Bitcoin has been very vocal about the risks associated with the cryptocurrency and again when you are in that realm of Of high placement high society a lot of money. This is a threat to you so this is not surprising to me this is not surprising that people in power would want to do away with this and For Trump has even said he's even tweeted out. Hey, I don't like Bitcoin. It's nothing good and da da da So, yeah, he I don't believe he was really the right president for a cryptocurrency Just my opinion you you're allowed to disagree with me all you want the comment section Anyhow, we'll come back to this piece here. There's a brutal rejection to the all-time high flagship the crypto are Bitcoin reached 1994 that's amazing at 150 p.m. And then it contracted to 19 one so what's going on here people are taking profits people are scared They haven't seen it go this high Besides 2017 so they've put all their stop orders in all their you know orders to actually sell out I have those same orders didn't hit the order, but that's okay, and these are the things that are happening So people are selling that's what it comes down to there's an overheating futures market this I did not know Funding rates across the top exchanges that offer perpetual crypto futures, which means it just never expires have been on the rise as Results over leveraged longs got wiped out with a total Bitcoin open interest shedding almost 14% That's huge Then there's this piece about high social volume one day prior to plunge Bitcoin search interest hit a new 2020 high and It's just talks about Bitcoin Google trends, which I'm going to show you why it doesn't make a darn bit of difference So this is Google trends. Okay, and Google trends is it doesn't show you actual search volume Like there was 150,000 people searching for Bitcoin yesterday what it what it shows you is a timeframe between zero and a hundred and Think of it like a pain level zero is no pain ten is the most excruciating pain you've ever had in your life So it's like it's talking about like how high is are the Bitcoin searches so over 12 months Yeah on November 15 21st. It was at a hundred just call it like the most of all over the last 12 months So you're probably thinking why that's a lot. It's not a lot. I'm gonna show you why I've done this before So if you take a look at the whole enchilada over the whole time frame Nobody talked about Bitcoin 2004 and tell about 2011 Here's where everybody talked about it the absolute most in 2017 This is when everybody went on fire. You know how much it is right now They're 15 who cares 15 on Google trends So that's why I know that Google trends is not really a good indicator of what is happening in the crypto market You know what is a good indicator of what's happening in the crypto the Twitter verse Everything that happens first pretty much happens on Twitter It is the fastest way to get information out You can send a tweet in no time and trade the chain, which is what I've signed up before They are one of only four crypto firms that have a direct API to Twitter They even crawl all the different big websites like Binance and Coinbase for all the different information about when things are listing Partnerships and all those things and you get them in a app called slack slack Just notifies you when things are about to hit those exchanges and you can make some pretty good gains now This is good for me as a dollar-cost Because I want to know when things are gonna go way massively up or I want to know when things are gonna go way massively down So I can kind of time my dollar-cost average, but for traders. This is something you should probably look into There's a link in the description. Okay, the next whales are sending coins to exchanges This is the same thing when when a bunch of people especially people with high net worth are sending Their crypto from their wallets to the exchanges There's only one reason for that because they're gonna sell and cash out So this is a crypto quant CEO key Yongju notes that Bitcoin whales are depositing Bitcoin to crypto exchanges a few hours prior to the crash That is also untrained the chain you get alerts as far as like whale whale alerts and here you go right here 14 million USD 965 Bitcoin 300,000 link on 14.5 USD transferred so you'll get a big alerts like this So yeah only makes sense and lastly declining network activity Sentiment points to the declining number of daily active addresses, which is usually a bear sign So not many people are using it as much. Okay, so that's the six reasons But I need to go in a detail to this very first one because this is this is effective But it's not that big of a deal and I'll explain why the Mnuchin bombshell So this was put up by Brian Armstrong and there's a great article on coin desk But I'm not gonna go over it because I want to go right to the source and the source is Brian Armstrong And I've had my differences with Coinbase and I talk about how they're going down and blah blah blah And it's true I don't like it because I want to push them to actually do something better But this cryptocurrency universe that we all live in we are like if you think about it Kind of like a dysfunctional family right no one sometimes we get ticked off at our brother or our cousins or whatever else But if one attacks My brothers or my sisters then I'm gonna be that guy who's gonna step in like you better slow your roll because this is what it's Gonna come down to so when Brian here is talking about the different crazy regulation that are coming down I'm like god dang it. You can't do that to Brian So here's what he said Last week we heard rumors that the US Treasury and Secretary Mnuchin were planning to rush out some new regulation regarding self Hosted crypto wallets before the end of the term for those who don't know self-hosted wallets And what he's saying is the self-hosted wallets are things that we have like a nano ledger things on our phone Right, we don't have custodian like the big institutions do Self-hosted crypto wallets are important because they allow anyone to use this new technology to access basic financial services Just like anyone can use a computer the open nature of crypto is what makes a powerful tool for innovation That's what levels the playing field globally. It's what fuels innovation and government's not good for innovation They're good for regulation not for innovation this proposed regulation would we think require financial institutions like Coinbase to verify the recipient or owner of the self-hosted wallet Collecting identifying information on that party before withdrawal could be sent to that wallet So of course when we sign up for Coinbase, they're gonna know exactly who we are But now what they're they're saying is that we want to know where you're sending that money to so okay got it and then He says this sounds like a reasonable idea on the surface It doesn't mean but whatever But it is a bad idea in practice because it's often Impractical to collect identifying information on a recipient in the crypto. Let me explain why so before I go on This is why I created Dan teaches crypto I know we did a video about talking to an open letter to PayPal users and I explained to them why PayPal having control a a singular entity which is Centralized is a bad idea and explained why and people like who cares because people are using to their own thing I'm like, yes, I know you're doing a thing But they have to know exactly why that is and they can make the decision not a hundred percent I got to come to our way of thinking but if I can pull just a couple of more people in the life raft I've done my job. So this is what Brian says many crypto users are sending crypto to smart contracts to use DeFi Apps a smart contract is not necessarily owned by any individual or business who could be identified It's a new type of recipient doesn't have any direct equivalent of financial services many crypto users sending crypto to merchants Paying for goods and services. Does it make sense to require customers to help verify the identity of a business? Before they can buy a product there. So if you think that the IRS knows a little bit of information about your business guess what they're gonna know absolutely everything here and that's what they're trying to do But can you imagine the cumbersome effect of verifying verifying verifying verifying verifying? It'll be a nightmare many crypto users are also sending crypto to people in emerging markets such as in Saharan, South Africa where it's difficult or impossible to collect meaningful know your customer info Some of these individuals are living in poverty and may not have any permanent addresses or form of government ID Like we send money back to our family in Mexico So I mean, how's that gonna work out? They have of course they have smartphones a lot. Everybody's got a smartphone I mean when we live one where in El Paso we just walk over to Juarez and you know Go get what we need and then we come back But everybody's got a smartphone over there, but they don't may not have a bank They might have a bunch of government IDs that they can process so and then think about in in Africa think about in Iran I rack the Middle East and it's gonna be impossible Finally many recipients in the US are abroad who value their financial privacy May somebody not want to upload more more documents to various companies which which could be hacked or stolen So if you want to be a part of this whole program, they're like, I'm not playing the game and I'm out So I'm not gonna use crypto so pay me and I don't know whatever they're gonna use The additional friction would kill many of the emerging use cases for crypto crypto is just money It's digitizing every type of assets and then this would be bad for America because would force US consumers to use foreign unregulated crypto companies to get access to these services so again America fumbles over its own huge big feet and falls flat in its face And then what does that mean? Well, it pushes everybody to other different types of exchanges outside of the US Where you know they can make all the money and they can make all the decisions So great job America you really plan the part and then to finish up in this if this crypto regulation comes out It would be a terrible legacy and have long-standing negative impacts for the US in the early days of the internet There were people who called for it to be regulated like the phone companies. Thank goodness. They didn't and yeah Al Gore was one of those leading people that actually said no we can't do this. We have to lead it for innovation We're not good innovation. We're the government. We're good for regulation So we're not gonna step on anybody's toes let it flourish and it did and it worked out great if they do this Which I hope they won't We're gonna have a lot of problems moving on so again, let's take a step back when in doubt zoom out Let's look at the big picture does this change anything has Bitcoin been hacked has any different crypto been hacked Has exchanges gone down? Well besides Coinbase has the principles changed our smart contracts Just not working are the different aspects are there different problems that need to be solved with cryptocurrency that I've already been Solved by something else.  However may not work out and maybe it'll go We're gonna reverse don't know but I was telling this for me I'm still long-term it makes a lot of sense that things will be solved things need to be done And that's it for today. So enjoy your Thanksgiving I really appreciate it if you like these types of videos two months gonna pop up on your left and right So check those out and that's it. I gotta go eat some food. I'll see you on the next one


Hi, it's Doug Belchor at Moodle HQ here with screencast 4 from UX Milestone 2 that we've been working on without Landish in August 2018. Let's get started. In this particular screencast, we're going to show you how a user called Funky is going to take a collection that she's been following on MoodleNet and import it into her Moodle site. So the first thing that Funky does is sign in with her MoodleNet account and she's taken to her featured page on the communities section. She wants collections though. So she goes to the navigation at the bottom, selects collections and finds the collection that she was following back in screencast 3, BTEC Outdoor Adventures Support. So she finds that and finds the button to add to my Moodle. When she presses this button, it fires up on her mobile device, the Moodle mobile app. Now, Funky has not used the Moodle mobile app yet, so she needs to configure it. She puts in her site address and then she puts in her Moodle site username and password. In future, this might be her MoodleNet account, but right now it's her Moodle site username and password. Moodle Asser, would you like to import the collection BTEC Outdoor Adventures Sport? She said yes.  She wants to create a new course because she's thinking about a course that she's going to teach next year. She enters the name Draft BTEC Sport 2019 and presses Save and Import. MoodleNet then sends the collection over to Moodle and it's imported into her new course, which she can now preview. There it is, BTEC Outdoor Adventures Sport. It tells you that it's a collection curated by BTEC Adventurers on MoodleNet and it has the description. So you can see there's eight different resources here. One of them is a zip file, which is downloaded from Tes Resources. It's got a link to that original collection there on Tes Resources, the zip file. And it's imported that as a folder. Another one is Sports Nutrition. This is a Moodle quiz. So she has a look at this, make sure that it works, and then goes out of there. And then third and finally, she has a look at Expedition Leadership. This is a link through to the Sports Leaders UK website and make sure that that works. So that particular collection from MoodleNet has been imported successfully into her Moodle site and she can start using that to build the course that she's going to teach next year. This is a prototype. This has no code behind it. So we'd love to have your feedback on what you think is useful here. Does the flow work? Is there anything else you're expecting to see? Please do leave your comments and your feedback either on the YouTube video or anywhere that's embedded, for example on the MoodleNet blog or at Moodle.org.


The study examined the relationship between the chemical composition of polyionic sodium conducting glasses and their ionic conductivity. The researchers used a technique called strong linear component analysis, SLCA, which involves optimizing the linear regression between the ionic conductivity and the champion candidates from all possible combinations of elements. This was followed by family tree and matrix rotation analysis, which filtered out the essential elemental combinations. From these, the researchers identified the essential genes, which revealed the intrinsic relationships among the variables. The researchers then compared this information with the structural interpretation of the glasses obtained from spectroscopy. This article was authored by Jiwen Pan, Jan Delloth, and Lothar Wondreczek.


Hey, welcome back to the channel. So in this video, I'm going to talk about how I'm using LinkedIn right now to get clients for my business. And I'm going to keep this pretty casual, I'm going to show you the overall strategy that I'm using. And I just recently started posting on LinkedIn again, literally two days ago from filming this video. So I'm going to give you this strategy that I'm using this year to acquire clients using LinkedIn and exactly what I'm going to be doing with this. So before we begin, if you're new to the channel, my name is Sean and on this channel, I talk about how to make money from writing online. So if you want more content around that, make sure you hit the like and subscribe button and also hit the bell icon if you don't want to miss any of my future videos just like this. So let's hop into my screen here. This is my personal profile. And like I said, I'm going to keep this pretty casual and just walk through exactly what I'm going to be doing and what my plan is to use LinkedIn to get clients. So when you look at my profile, you notice that it is optimized for the person that I am trying to help. My ideal customer idea client. So the few areas that I want to point you to are first of all my cover photo and you can see it says email Rainmaker helping you make more money with email. It also has a link to my personal site here, Seananthony.co. And this is also a very powerful area that you want to optimize as well is the headline or your tagline. And so mine says building a $1 million one person business writing one email a day helping people make money from writing online. And the reason this is very important for you to optimize this for your ideal person is you can see on the right here, you can see all of their taglines. So this is the first thing that people see. And what I'm showing up in the homepage or my content is showing up, that's the first thing you see is that tagline. Now the way that most people use this is they'll just put their title here, right? This guy here, I don't know him, but it says executive vice president. That's fine and all if you're working at like a corporate company or you're currently working in a job somewhere.  So I'm trying to attract people who want to make money from writing online and who want to build profitable businesses from doing that. And that's what my tagline does here. So cover photo, tagline speaks directly to that person. My about section is probably right around here. I need to update this. This is mainly optimized for my done for you services client. So I'm going to be changing this a bit, but your about section should be like a mini sales letter about why someone should work with you, what you're about and how you can help them. So that is the third area, the about section. And some extra things that I've added that I never used to do. I've been using LinkedIn for a while for other purposes, but you can see here the featured tabs. Now this looks a lot cleaner on mobile. I have to adjust these image sizes. But these are links to my different Keystone pieces of content. So this is my newsletter link. If you go here, it goes to my personal website. Someone ops in first name, email, and they get something free in exchange. So I have a free course. It's called the 1K A Day Offer Buffet. Breaks down my business model and someone can opt in for this free course and see exactly how it works. So this is a pretty cool area because as you can see, it's like a website. When you go to a website, it showcases your best work and the things that you want people to click on. And that's exactly what this featured section does here. I also have one of my products here, the Super Fast Sales Email Challenge. If you click on this, it takes you to the sales page and I can get sales directly from this featured section. One more area that I wanted to point you to is this area here. This is a new thing that I saw and I just thought why not just optimize this and add a link here. So this links to my website, Build Your One Person Business. Click here, goes right to that same link I just showed you. They can opt in, they can see how I built my one person business. And they can see my entire business model in this free course. So that is the first thing that you wanna do. If you're trying to use LinkedIn to get clients, you wanna optimize those areas that I just said.  I don't really know what it's called. This section here where it's like a call to action. You want them to click over to your website or check something out, you can have that here. The featured section, if you have any links or freebies that you can give out, you can link to it here. And then also your about section. So that is like the foundation. You have to set this up or in my opinion, it's not gonna be as effective, at least if you're trying to copy what I do. If you're trying to get clients and you haven't optimized your profile. So go ahead and do that first. Make sure it's very clear on who you are and who you help and your ideal client. And so when someone clicks over to your LinkedIn profile, it's talking directly to them. Now, next, what is my overall strategy? How am I using LinkedIn to get clients? Because I can't simply optimize my profile and expect to get high paying clients coming to me and just paying me out of nowhere. So I might have some people buying this because this is a $49 product so it's a lower ticket thing. But I work with a lot of higher end clients who are investing four to five figures plus with me. And that's where the bulk of my sales comes from. So the way that I'm using LinkedIn is as a publishing platform. So if I go here and I scroll up to my post section, you can see I just started posting a couple days ago. So this is a day ago, this is yesterday. You can see I got pretty good engagement, 274 or 275 likes or engagements and 130 comments and 32,649 views. And all this is, I run an email every day. I'm just repurposing my email to LinkedIn. So I'm taking one piece of content if you watched my previous video about repurposing and multiplying your content without multiplying your work. This is exactly what I'm doing here. So I'm posting content and what happens in the mind of a person who reads this is if it talks directly to them and this clearly had a nerve with the amount of engagement it got. They're going to click over to my profile. They're going to see what I'm about. And if they want to achieve the result that I help people achieve, they are going to probably click on one of these things, right? Join my email list. They'll probably watch some of my YouTube videos, maybe even buy a product of mine. And that is how I get them into my world. Now I'm going to link to another video below. It's called my email cash machine. That's what happens after somebody joins my email list, the conversion process. But the way that I'm using LinkedIn is to get attention and get people onto my list and consuming my content and getting to know more about me and how I can help them. So I'm posting content once a day. I'm scheduling out my emails once a day so that it goes out and I can get more awareness in the feed here through my content. And like I just said, people click over to my profile. They check out what I have. But also what happens is I can open up my messaging tab here. You can see this is just from in the last day, how many messages I have from people reaching out to me. And this is why content is so powerful. It's leveraged, I can post one piece of content and get dozens of messages like this of people wanting to know more about what I do and how they can follow me and how they can join the mission together, right? How they can start doing this for themselves. And so to wrap this up and walk you through the strategy again, I have my profile. It's optimized for my ideal person, my ideal client. I'm posting one piece of content per day. Maybe two, I might start doing two at some point. But I'm posting one piece of content per day. This gets attention onto my profile. Not every post is gonna get 32,000 views. Maybe some will get more, some will get less. But I'm getting attention every day consistently.  There are people who are interested in learning more, interested in having a conversation with me about how I can help on a higher level. And once people are on my email list and they're consuming my content, that's where my email cash machine kicks in, which I'll link to below. That's the conversion process of once they're on my list, what happens? How do I make money from that? How do I get clients from that? So LinkedIn is gonna be a key piece in my content strategy for the remainder of this year and likely beyond that. And this is exactly how I'm using it. Optimize profile, publishing content, one piece of content a day. Creating conversations from that piece of content and getting people into my world, onto my email list, watching my YouTube videos and buying some of my products through the content that I'm posting. So hopefully, this was helpful for you to see. And hopefully, you got some value out of this, give it a like if you did. Let me know if you have any questions in the comments below. And let me know if you're gonna be using LinkedIn to get clients for yourself with a similar strategy to mine. So that's it for this video. Hope you found it valuable. I'll see you in the next one. Take it easy.


In sports news now, a blind soccer tournament has kicked off in Mexico City with teams made up of blind and visually impaired players using an adapted ball. The players compete with blind floats over their eyes and use a ball that rattles to guide players. The goalkeepers are the only players on the pitch who do not have a visual impairment or wear a blindfold. The soccer field is also different with the fans around the pitch so that the ball does not go out of play. Here, Reinaldo Rivera said blind soccer has sharpened his over-sensors, improving his navigation of daily life in and around Mexico City. The more than two million people reported to have a visual impairment in Mexico, organizers of these competitions say blind soccer helps by building inclusion in sports.


before you can solve any problem, you have to make sure you understand what's asking of you and how it works, right? So this exercise has two parts when you calculate this data. One part is you need to calculate the total using this formula here, it's given here. If you don't have a store math background that could be scary thing, but it just basically a very simple calculation you're multiplying a number from two to 10, including 10, okay? So two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, 10.  The only thing that's missing is the checks on the digit. We need to figure out what that digit is, which is why you see here it's not included in the calculation. And that's the one we need to figure it out. And so the rule is to just do it this way. So this is part one, okay? Once you get that, you basically find the total number, the total value of those digits. And then from there on, we can figure out what is the check digit? It's gonna be between zero and 10. It's one of those numbers. And you take it out by adding each of these numbers from zero to 10, including 10 to your total value here. And then you check if the number is divisible by 11. If it is divisible by 11, then we can conclude that that number of which way it is between zero and 10, that is the checks on digit, all right? And so here's the example is like I did it here, but really you're basically adding zero to 83. Zero plus 83, is that divisible by 11 or not? If yes, then the digit is zero, right? Otherwise it's not zero, we add the next one. One plus 83 is 84, 84 is not divisible by 11. So before it's not, you keep going until you find a digit that is divisible by 11. And here it's five because five plus 83 is 88. 88 divided by 11, have a mean to a zero. So a mean to zero tells you that is divisible by 11. So therefore the checks on digit is indeed five. So I'm going to read the input. So first I need my nine digit, nine digit, right? Is it input enter digit, enter nine digit. Now I'm not going to convert it to integer because I need to access each individual character in the string of digits. And so when I do this way, my assumption is that my number is going to be, we'll look something like that. And that's my string, right? Nine characters. And then once I get that, that's the only input I need, right? And the next part is just the processing part, okay? So when you process, what do I need? What are the tools I need to process this? Well, I need to calculate the total of all these numbers. I don't know yet, but it's going to be zero, okay? I also need a way to count or to access these numbers from the right down to the left. So remember strings, you can access the index position of each of these characters. I'm going to do from the right to left. How do you know that? I know that it's nine digits, right?  So here you can put here index, I guess. Index, I'm starting from the right of this list of characters. So the length of the nine digit minus one, okay? This will give me the right most index. I'm at this position now. Okay, make sure you minus one for the one-off situation. And then now I need the other number, right? You can use the while loop if you want to or you can use the full loop. And I'll choose the full loop, in this case, because I know how many I want already. The while loop will also work too. So I can say for every digit N, number N, and the range from two, I don't need one, I don't need zero. I need two. Until 10, I want to include 10, so I would say 11. Remember that the stop number is not included in the calculation here. So if you want to include 10, you must go one above it. And the step is gonna be defaulted to one. You can leave that out like this if you want to, or you can leave it in like this, it doesn't matter. That is my range. These are the numbers from two, three, four, five, all the way to 10, okay? And the idea is that two is gonna be multiplied by my rightmost digit. The next round is three times my second rightmost and so forth. And I'm gonna add the total, so I need a cumulative. So this is the cumulative here, okay? So now all I have to do is I'm gonna multiply N times the nine digit, starting with the index position. But initially it'll be that digit. And then I'm gonna store this entire result to the total. But then I wanna keep a copy of the total what I had earlier, so I put plus equal, that. Only thing is that because remember when I read in my digits on characters. So you wanna make sure that when you read that first character of two, you have to convert it to an integer. But each digit you read, you must convert it to an integer first before you need a multiplication. Otherwise you get a different result. So that is all for the total. And if you wanna see what that total is, you can print it out, okay? So now I wanna run it. It's kind of small, let me get a little bit bigger, okay? So if I enter my, oh, I had it incorrect here. Oh yeah, it's correct because again, right? I never decremented my index. So every time I increase my N, I also need to decrease my index. So right after the total here, I need to make sure that my index is reduced by one, okay? So that was not correct. So again, I do it now. So now you see that my total is indeed 83. So we got the total, that's part one. So process part two is find the checks on the digit, right? Which one is it? It's gonna be between zero and 10. One of those guys. So right over that, I don't know, so I just pick one. Check some, it's gonna be zero. I say it's gonna be zero or 10, it doesn't matter. You can put any number you want because I'm gonna overwrite it. Okay, so now I need to do another loop here from zero to 10. So now do another loop here. I'm gonna go all the way from, I call it I from the range of zero to 10. If I'm going from zero, then the shortcut is just like this, the zero is the default starting point, which I do need it. So let's leave it zero. And then all the way to 10, including 10, so I put 11 and the step is one. So I don't need to do that because it's again, this default. So now initially I've got to start with zero. So I would say total plus the I, right? Is this total, is this entire total here? Divisible by 11. And when we talk about divisible by something, we use the mod operator, which is this percent symbol here. Divisible by 11. If it is divisible by 11, it must be equal to zero. That's how you find if a number is divisible even into that number. If it's anything other than zero, it's not divisible by that number. So then I would say, if this whole thing is true, then I found my I digits. So therefore the check sum digit is indeed equal to I. If it's not divisible by 11, then go to the next number, which is one, and then add a one to the total and then check it again. Right, until you reach this truth point. And it's guaranteed because every number between zero and 10, every group is divisible by 11, right? Okay, 11, 22, right? So for sure, I'm going to find it. So when I'm done, I can print out or check my check sum. It's going to be a check sum. See if it's not correct or not. I'm not going to output it, okay? I'm just printing so I know my notes. So if it's correct, then this should be five. And I'm going to paste that here. And as you can see, indeed it is five because five plus eight three is 88. 88 divided by 11. So 88 divided by 11 is remainder of zero. And because this is true, my check sum digit is going to be five.


Hey everyone, hope you're well. I wanted to talk about, in case you've missed it, the LinkedIn Global Talent Trends 2022 survey. I feel it's really interesting because we've been talking about culture for what seems like since the pandemic started and before, right? There's been so many iterations of culture over the years, the things have changed and I've been speaking about it loads. And I think it's an interesting survey. They said they spoke to global HR leaders, pulled a bunch of people, they don't know who they are, but they get some really, really good data. It's beautiful, it confirms a lot of the stuff that we've been speaking about. And for me, and I've said this before, culture is really about spreading kindness, for people, leading organizations, really caring about how their people are feeling, thinking, how they are, how their experiences and having the self-awareness to care about the people that work with them. I think it's great. When you start a new job and loads of people have started new jobs recently on my LinkedIn feed, it's crazy. It's like, congratulations, congratulations, stuff in your job, all of that stuff. Has your new boss plonked down a stack of to-do lists stuff or did they send you a beautiful gift and some flowers or something really nice and kind? I think that's really interesting. And so these last couple of years, it's felt like employers have really had an opportunity to rethink and reimagine what working experience is like. There's no one-size-fits-all. I think that's really clear now. And it's so important to think about as an employer what your employees work experience is like, vital. And it's so important for attracting and retaining staff and I'll go into some of these stats actually on the LinkedIn report, which is super interesting, which confirms a lot of the stuff, personalizing the experience and all of that. And then for us, the individual, the person that's working, it's been really fascinating. More and more people are thinking about their wellbeing, thinking about their work and their life and how it's integrated. And I think it's fascinating. The three things, as I might sure get this right, the three key things that the LinkedIn talent survey explored, which I thought was interesting, was flexibility, well-being, and then this great reshuffle. And from all of the results and stuff, it's really interesting how this has evolved and it's been cool. On flexibility, go down to LinkedIn, when employees are satisfied with their company's time and location flexibility, they're 2.6 times more likely to report being happy. Happiness is key, 2.1 times more likely to recommend working for the company, which is great, right? And again, I mean, with all of that, you'll keep people, you'll attract people better. And I think this great resignation is a recognition from companies with bad cultures, from bad bosses that don't care about their team. And I think this is really playing out now, which is interesting. And flexibility, again, according to LinkedIn, is becoming a key value proposition for employers. And they gave some stats, and this was between 2019 compared to 2021, 83% increase in job posts mentioning flexibility. Maybe that's just marketing from companies, let's see, 343% more mentions of flexibility in company posts. So it's clear companies are cutting on to the fact that you've got to mention flexibility in your job post, in your communication, to have the best chance of attracting the best people. And that's clear, 35% engagements when a company posts mentions flexibility. So, employers are clearly catching on to attract people, you have to communicate about flexibility. And just listening and reading all of the posts on LinkedIn and all the comments, everyone's talking about the importance of flexibility for themselves. And so companies are listening and they're responding, which I think is really cool. Let's hope that actually translates into the work experience as well. Number two is girls, well-being. And it's interesting that a lot of people are really wanting to have a more holistic view of how they work. If you're working at home, if you're in a fully remote company, you're sitting at your best school day, you know, a lot of the time. And certainly for me, I love getting out, I love walking, if I'm at home, sometimes I just don't, you know, you just sometimes you work harder, longer, you're out less. The beautiful thing about commute, and a lot of people say, hey, you'll get, you get all of this commuting time back. But the commuting time is a wonderful time to like move and do exercise. So, you know, you've got to make sure that you're doing that. Maybe a bit of morning yoga, a fake commute if you're working at home and just thinking about your health and your wellbeing. Because if you're happy and you're healthy, you're going to be much more productive. It's a no-brainer. The stats that LinkedIn produce from their reports, if employees feel cared for at work, they're 3.2% more like to be happy at work and 3.7 times more like to recommend the company. Not too surprising, you know, happy employees, healthy, happy employees, make better employees. If people are happy, they're going to recommend the company to their mates. And the whole experience for candidates is every going through an interview process and various people interviewing them is going to be much better. Content clearly is mirroring what people are talking about. Because there's so, again, so many posts about people talking about wellbeing. Burnout is a big thing. You know, there's a whole raft of stuff on LinkedIn that's talking about the importance of wellbeing. And clearly, content has mirrored that. Company content is mirroring that. And again, you've seen a 73% increase from 2019 about company posts talking about wellbeing. 147% increase in the share of job posts mentioning wellbeing. You know, it's really confirming what we know. And again, companies are starting to talk about it. And I really hope that that is translating into what it's actually like to work in these companies. They're using it for marketing and for attracting people. Let's hope it's actually falling through because if they don't, then people will. People are super happy to move. And this moves into their third thing, the great reshuffle. And employees are saying, we can do better, companies can too. And so people now are expecting much more from their employers. And they talk about the great reshuffle. People talk about the great resignation, the great rehire, whatever it is. But people now, people will move. If they're not happy, if they're not happy with how they're being treated, the environment, they're voting with their feet. And again, I think it's this great resignation, this great reshuffle. There's a reshuffle and resignation from environments where people are not happy. Of course, economics plays a big part and there are a lot of jobs around depending on the sector you're in. But companies need to work harder and they need to get this right. The stats that LinkedIn, which are really interesting, job shopping is on the rise. Two times increase in job post views per application in 2021, both 2019, which confirms this. And then candidates are more engaged when companies talk about culture. 67% engagement boost when posts mention culture. And that also mirrors my conversations with people. I speak to loads of people every day and money's not top, it's culture. And people wanna work in a really great environment where they're valued, where they listen to, where people are saying, how do you work best? How can I structure your working experience? So that's there the things you need to do now. And if you're talking about it on LinkedIn as a company, awesome. Make sure you're doing it and make sure the experience is great. So I think really fascinating. You can find the LinkedIn talent survey or clearly on LinkedIn, there's a short summary, there's a longer version, but I think it's some really interesting stuff. Hope that's helpful. Don't forget to sign up for my channels, YouTube, Bentley Lewis, or don't take out your phone and you can do Spotify at the recruitment show. Hope that's really helpful. Have a wonderful day.


Today we are opening a box of rare Yu-Gi-Oh Packs. What's up guys? Today we have another box opening and inside there are some rare Yu-Gi-Oh Packs sent to us by Yu-Gi-Oh. We're gonna open this up and see exactly what he sent. Inside we have, oh, oh, check this out. Looking nice. There are two X Saber power-ups. We will talk a little bit more about these and why they are special when we get to them. We've got a Gladiators Assault Special Edition. This is gonna be pretty nice. Then we have some blister packs. All of these are purple if you notice because we are doing this video for pancreatic cancer. If you guys remember or if you didn't know, Yu-Gi-Oh lost his dad, Papamo, recently to pancreatic cancer. So it's a very important thing for him to support and obviously I wanna support him as my friend and we did some battles against Papamo so it's always an awesome cause. So we're gonna have a link down below that you can support, you can just donate if you guys feel the need. You don't have to, of course, but it would be awesome if you would. Before we get into the opening, let's do a giveaway. I'll be giving away all the Sacred Beasts from the Megaton plus the Retrain of Ra'Vael. All you have to do is like this video, be subscribed, leave a comment regarding pancreatic cancer support or anything in the opening. Let's get into it. Let's start off with this Abyss Rising. And by the way, this will not be the only video. Yu-Gi-Oh's gonna have his own video as well so I will link that as well. So there's gonna be a couple of links down below. One if you guys wanna support Yu-Gi-Oh's and then the pancreatic cancer link. So you can check those out. We've got the Deep Sweeper, Metalizing Parasite, Falcon, Noble Arms, Arphadirt, okay. Yeah, I don't know that guy's name. It's No Dust Dragon and the Acha-cha, Chenbara. Abyss Rising is actually a really cool set. We've had some pretty good pulls out of here. I think you can get like Bahamut Shark in here. You can get, there's a Ghost Dragon here. I can't remember exactly which one it is. It's probably, is it C32? Is that the number? I think that's what it is. I'm not sure exactly when we're seeing this but Brothers of Legend is coming out this week. I'm not sure if we've opened it yesterday or if it's tomorrow. It just depends. We've got a lot of dates. I gotta work around for different videos but it's gonna be soon. I can't wait. We are gonna be doing a live stream. You should see this before then. Opening until we get Drugun. We will not stop until we get Drugun. It's gonna be great. Starlight, by the way. She, I love that card. Rage of the Deep Sea, Madolche Marmalade. Yeah, literally gonna open packs of Brothers of Legend until we pull Drugun. That's probably gonna be a very long live stream, like very long.  We haven't done one of those since the Stardust. Hopefully it's not that long. I don't think it would be because there was five Starlights in that one. There's only two in this set. We'll see though. If you guys remember, we pulled 10K Dragon on the first case. So that would be nice. I don't think it's gonna happen though. Madolche take it. We got the Bull Blader. Electromagnetic Bagworm. Spellbook Star Hall. And the Heroic Champion, Gendiva. This is a two level four warrior. Okay, so he's a little specific, but he's a rank four, very nice. And then we got Heroic Gift and Grendrum. Let's try out a Photon Shock Wave and see if we can pull that Ghost Rare. I know Yuki Mo has pulled this one. I think, what, was this one he pulled with Papamo? I think it might've been. They pulled two against me. If you guys remember, I think, I think this was one of them. No, maybe it wasn't. I can't remember. He's pulled so many Ghosts now. It's hard to keep a Vylon Ohm. We got the Heartfelt Appeal. Eveltyle, Gephyro. Champion's Vigilance, the classic Dual Links Blue Eyes card from the OG Days. Photon Booster. And Ceiling Ceremony of Sweeten. Monster Slots and Fiery Fervor. Okay, a little bit of a slow start, but we've got a lot of packs to go and there's a lot of good potential in these packs. Like one big pull could change everything. Another Photon Shock Wave. I still need this Ghost Rare. I'm still a little bit salty about the one I had lined up and then the guy sold it anyway because he got more money. But you know, that's just how it goes. Pina Cono. I'm still a little salty about it though. So maybe we can pull a Ghost Rare. Windup Warrior. Zenm, Zenmyark, Mark. Murmer of the Forest. Murmering, Murmering, Murmering. Plasma Ball, the Murmering did not help. Okay, Banilla. What is this flavor text? We gotta read this. This wrap, it's got a sweet tooth. He's on a quest for the world's sweetest carrot and just wants to nibble carrots all day today, tomorrow and the day after that. This is a real card, ladies and gentlemen. 2050 Defense. Can someone explain to me why he has 2050 Defense? All he does is eat carrots. I don't really understand how he's defending himself here. Let's go, let's keep going. I don't know, that was interesting. Abyss Rising, first edition pack. Let's go. Planet Pathfinder. Love that card. Snowdust Dragon. This scale. Heroic Advance. Gagigigo the Risen. Here we go. Is this it? Oh, we pulled something big. It's not, the Muriel Abyss Lung. Okay, Abyss Lung, is he just a lung? You know, he can breathe underwater or something? I thought they could all do that. Well, I guess if he has a lung, that means he could breathe above water. So he's, oh, interesting. But I thought all mermaids could do that anyway. Or can they? I don't remember. I don't remember if they can. I'm pretty sure they can though. But maybe it depends if it's Little Mermaid or Pirates of the Caribbean. I don't know. Xenmark, we got the Windup Warrior damage diet. We need a Sunfish. Daybreaker and Photon Lead. This has been rough. This has been rough. The Acorno. What a stud. The Acorno, look at those eyeballs. If I saw that out of an Acorno, I'd be freaking out. Three more blisters before we get into the special editions. And that's where the real, you know, the craziness begins. I mean, this is already pretty crazy. These packs at this point are very tough to find. These Photon and Abyss Rising, they're getting old. I mean, it's amazing to say they're old, but they are champions vigilance. We've got the Rabbit and Dragon has returned. Laval Lance Lord. Gymnite Emerald. And finally, Photon Saber Tiger. We've got the Ray Rider Acorno in one day of peace. Okay, we've got another Super, so we've got an Ultra and Super so far. I don't know if this is considered a battle. It's sort of a battle. We're losing if it is. Abyss Rising, come on, Abyss Rising. Give us something good. There's some good guards in here. Bahumut Shark is the one I can think of off the top of my head. I know there's some good oldies, but I can't think of what they are. Is there a Medulche oldie unit that's big? Isn't that the set? House Dustin. All the Dustins. Is this like Game of Thrones? House Dustin, the House of the Dustins. Sudeji, and... All right, La Maria. All right, not the most exciting there. Final Blister Pack. We've pulled two foils, not the best. So let's see if we can step it up right here. Photon Shock. Wave, let's do this. Wave of the Shock. Let's go. Evoltile, Geffiro, Champions of Vigilance, Rabbit Dragon, Creepy Coney. Baby Tiragon, not Triagon. And Alexandrite Dragon, the card we pull literally every time. It's a cool, it's a 2K four star. I mean, you gotta love it. Just summon a 2K monster. I mean, it took him forever to actually add that to the game. Now we are on to the Special Editions. I think we go with an X Saber Power-Up. And now we will mention why these are so cool. Inside, you could possibly have First Edition Starter's Overdrive packs and First Edition Ancient Prophecy. Those did not come in booster boxes in North America. So they're very difficult to find. And this is one of the ways to find them. Hopefully we have some inside. Let's open this guy up. We have two of these. And then we got, of course, the Gladiators Assault. And inside that one, yeah, we'll get to it. You guys know magic formula. In here, this is the reveal. This is where we find out if this is a dud one where you get unlimited or if it's not. Let's see. We have, okay, unlimited. Usually Starter's Overdrive is the one that's First Edition. Sometimes these are First Edition. Okay, those are not. Oh, it's a dud one. It's all unlimited. All right, still cool, but not as exciting as I was hoping. All right, though they are duds and unlimited, still exciting if we get those ghostries. So let's start with Hidden Arsenal. Probably the least exciting for sure. The other ones are pretty big. Oh, we get the Breanac. That is awesome. That is definitely one of the cooler cards in the set. We will take that. I'm actually really excited about this card. This card looks really cool. It's very good. It's a very good card. Wow, that's a pretty nice pull. That's about as good as it gets out of Hidden Arsenal. So we're at the Berserker Crush, cool. I like the Singro's a little bit more because I've had a chance to use them in dual links and of course the Auction series. I've just, you know, they're growing on me a lot. You know, I didn't used to care about Singro's that much. Let's go. We have Angel Prophecy. We can still get a Ghostry out of here even if it's unlimited. I'm down, I'm down. Genetic Woman. Water Hazard. Fortune Lady Light is the next card. A foil. Kwaki Mirror Boulder. We have a literal boulder here. All right. It kind of reminds me of Nose Pass except like a smaller nose. If you guys know what I'm talking about. Let's go on to the next one. I think Start of Strober Drive is a little bit better than Angel Prophecy. So we'll leave that one for the last. Angel Prophecy it is. Fossil Deague. The card got reprinted a lot. Flamingo Counter. Cyborg Doctor. It used to be a dollar. Oh! Oh! Oh! Small talking! It's a Ghostry! Angel Fairy Dragon! We're recording, right? We are recording. Oh! Yuki Bo is not gonna be happy, guys. Hey, at least it's supporting a good cause. This is the time. Go donate if you guys wanna support the pancreatic cancer research. Oh my goodness. Ghostry, Angel Fairy. Yeah, we gotta post this ASAP. We finally got one of these 5D's Ghostry's. I've been searching for one of these. I mean, for years at this point, and we finally got one. Oh my goodness. What's in the rest of the pack? Magic Cat. I didn't think there was anything in that pack. I just was just going through it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, what was I even talking about? Who knows? Oh, we pulled it. Look how beautiful it is. The sintering is terrible, but who cares? The quarter's a little ding. This is probably just gonna go in my Ghostry binder. Just has a memory of this moment. This is awesome. Yuki Bo, thanks for the packs. Appreciate it. All right, on to the next pack. Can we possibly follow that up? We still have a lot of packs left. Whoa. Whoa, that was a good one. All right, Spider-Spider. We got the Ritual of Grace. Can we pull the, what is it? Which one, which ghost is this? This majestic shooting star, majestic star. Something majestic star, I think is what it is. Ghostry, I'm down. Witch of Fate and, all right, CPanther, yeah. Actually, I don't know if I could handle another Ghostry. I almost died right there. Well, it should be over. We got a long way to go.  If you guys didn't see like my best opening, one of my best openings ever that I posted the other day, go check it out. I mean, the pulls were insane. So this is just following that up. We've had incredible luck. All right, we got a Vortex Trooper. That is a super rare. We will take that, fine. Could you imagine if that was a first edition pack? I mean, I said I'd take the Unlimited, I was right. So about these Gladiators Assaults, they do come with one dark crisis. And then inside these we could pull very rare secret rare such as Magic Formula, Necroface. Then of course, there's a Ghostry in here, the Chaos Nios. There's the Chaos Nios. And then there's not the Misprint and Unlimited because it only comes in first edition. The Unlimited version is in tactical evolution. So we can't get that one. Let's go with Dark Crisis first. We had some good luck with Dark Crisis the other day. Pulled the Exoding Necrosse, we pulled Shinado out of first edition. Yeah, we've had great luck with Dark Crisis. I pulled Exoding Necrosse first edition too. Wait, oh yeah, I was thinking the other day, I don't have a PSA 10 Necrosse, but we pulled one. So it's still at PSA. Hopefully it'll come back at 10. It's not a defender. It's all coming back now. Archery and Dwarves, that's a lot of trap cards in a row. Thousand Needles. Different Dimension, I don't think you get a foil as well. I think that's just it. Yeah, Iron Blacksmith, Kotetsu, all right, Ancestors of Dogla. Okay, nothing crazy there. We've got two Gladiators to Soul Packs. It would be even crazier to pull Magic Formula out of here. Or Necroface. Either of those would be, that'd be even crazier than the Ghost. That's the only way we could top it, I think. Let's see what we can do. We've got the Parry. Hoplimus. Gladiant Squall. Natural Disaster. Alien Talbot. This card's actually worth a little bit, I think. And then Light and Prisoning Mirror is a pretty good card back in the day for some of those techs for the side deck. Final Glass Pack.  Pretty good. All right, let's get these out without any damage. Glass. Battle Hallberg. Sparta. Natural Disaster. Super Alloy Beast Raptonus. And Gladiator Beast Laquari. It's not a bad one. But now we're looking for it. On to the final special edition. Can it possibly beat that first one? And the answer is no. It can't. I mean, it can, but it's probably not gonna happen. Maybe the other Ghost Rare from Stardust Overdrive. I don't know if that's better or not. And then we had a Briennec in that, too. That was a great special edition. Or we could pull two Ghosts. That is technically possible because there's no real ratios out of these special editions. Which is the cool part. X Saber Fulham Knight. Three packs. Let's start off, or four packs. I always forget about Hidden Arsenal. Let's, okay, it's right at the front, so let's try not to ruin it. Let's go like this, let's see if we, oh yeah, that actually worked out pretty good. Let's pull this out like this. Very nice, well done. Oh, I just ruined it anyway. All that's ruined it. All right, blame, I always pull this guy. Magician, Wyrm, and Apocalypse. All right, Ancient Prophecy. Can you possibly live up to what we have just done? Oh wait, EX Gamer? I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I'm sorry that I did this to you. I opened all those packs for you and we didn't get it. Now I get it. Arms Sea Hunter. I was playing this in one of my decks. And Duolinks, Water Hazard, Regiguda, Solidarity, and Spirit Burn, wait, did the, I think the ghost came up before, Blackwing Fane, Steel Chain. I think the ghost came before the rare, didn't it? Cause I think that's why I was so surprised. Cause I wasn't ready for the foil to pop up. I think that's what happened. Battle Teleportation, we got the White Potent. Agus, Fishboard Blaster. And Falchion B, yeah, Magnum Bar. We have not pulled a, we haven't pulled anything besides the ghostware. So that's why I don't know where the placement is. Final pack of the video guys. It's been crazy. It's been awesome. Make sure you guys go check out Yu-Gi-Mos video. And if you want to support the pancreatic cancer research, check it out down below. Let's go into the final pack. We've got Level Eater, Spider Egg, Reptilian Sila, Reptilian Spawn. Wait, is that it or not? Virgin Lady Dark? Maybe this is it, I don't know. Spider Spider. All right, okay. Overall, this video is pretty rough on the foils. But we got the one foil we actually want. So it's totally worth it. We gotta take one more look at this. One more look at that beautiful ghostware. How can you not think ghostware is the best rarity? And just let me know down below. If you don't think ghostware is the best rarity, if you do, support it down below.

World number three, Simona Halep has become the latest big-name tennis player to withdraw from the Tokyo Olympics. That's because she said she would not recover from a carf injury in time. Halep had also pulled out of Wimbledon last week and she joins 23-time Grand Slam champion Serena Williams, men's world number three Rafa Nadal and last year's US Open champion Dominic Thiem in skipping the Tokyo Games, which begin on June. Halep had suffered an open and round loss at the London Olympics in 2012 and skipped the 2016 Rio Games due to concerns over the Zika virus.
