I'm just wondering if you can see, what I can see here, I can get 41 volts out of this at the minute we have 45.9 going in, if I turn that down it says we've got 51 going in, so I turn this up to 58 volts, let me start doing this, turn this up to 13 volts, I get 68 volts, hey there YouTube now I said I was going to do this little experiment with this DPS 5015 that I got in here and I did try to do it and I was using a 650 watt power supply but for some reason I couldn't get any more than 60 watts out of it, in the end I figured it was the power supply that might be faulty so I took apart this little supply that I made with the LCT 3780 whatever it is I'll correct that because I've probably said it wrong because I had this connected into it so I took that apart and I've connected this power supply into like a here so if I switch that off so there's no output then we've got a little power light and if I switch this off a little power light goes out okay and I also put in some outputs here which they're connected directly to the input of this switch this is a double pole double throw switch so I can have the two inputs going here and it's completely isolated when I switch up I've got now input to here but if I keep that off it just has the inputs to here okay uh yeah so we've got outputs to here sorry so I switch this on because it's a boost converter it has to um you can only have the minimum of what the input is which is which is basically 12 volts coming from this unit here you know this is an ATX power supply 500 watts so I thought to myself okay I'll use directly from the output here and come down to the power connections to my little my little circuit here let me use some more light it's my little circuit with my induct coil on now at the minute I've got this four turn coil on here which uses the least amount of current is that my four three oh I'm sorry it's my three yeah it's my three turn so this doesn't quite use the least amount of current but it doesn't use as much current as a two turn it certainly doesn't use as much current as a single turn and what I was going to do first was I was just going to connect it go right into this boost converter and you got to remember off the boost converter as well as this display um yeah sorry we're going to connect this up already to that so before I just get this wire and put that on there as you can see we've got oscillation it's pulling 150 milliamps it's actually all the input power down really very slightly I could just because there's a bit of a load there now it should be just under 12 volts I don't want to do that as I'm gonna just gently turn this up because this is a single turn part you can go all the way up to 85 volts so yeah just gently start turning that up okay so the reason why that's doing this because this lamps on I'm close to it so we've got a good oscillation over there you see I'm escape uh early these on and there's no breakout at this point so I'm just going to force that okay so there's just a little time we have a breakout so we've got 21 volts at 0.6 amps what's that going up the look happens to my display the display doesn't like that it's coming down but considerably on the display very upstarted oscillation is good it's trying to say now that's 30 volts out one point there's no way that's like 45 watts anyway so we'll just turn it up a slightly more I don't want to break it but look how much that sort of dims up pretty much nothing I'm going to turn that back down again now because obviously obviously that's not happy well that's okay it was just an experiment anyway I'll just connect that from there if I can just connect that I'm going to show you that the display still works and I should still be able to turn up this boost converter all the way to about 85 volts and we get that on the output there about 85 will now be on the output there I can show you that by fixing up my display right back there I'll just put it at an angle if you can see it if I just check these two plugs just check that in there and you can see down there 35.47 volts which is close enough to what it says there okay so I'm going to turn that back down again if I turn it all the way down I know that we've got basically what the input voltage is in the very slight boost but of course that's um that's not what we want to be using to power this we really want to be using this and so if I put it over here the nice thing about this unit is it's until you press the power button which is underneath here it doesn't come off now have a minute it looks like it's set to I think it says 18 volts I'm just gonna I'm just gonna set that just drop that all the way down to zero because I like starting off with it on zero okay back to the voltage oh sorry go back to there and now I can press on the voltage one again press here a couple of times like we start taking the voltage up it says here we can start taking the voltage up oh we're gonna turn it on first that's a good idea we start taking the voltage up so three four volts and we've got oscillation over there so we know we know we're working that's before anything breaking out I think for some reason we seem to be oh I see that's because I gotta turn up the input voltage I'm being a bit of a no let me just turn up that input voltage so let's give it a there you go 40 volts let me just start turning this up and we get past that 12 watt stage so we got oscillation over there uh little LEDs come on I don't know break out as yet we've got break out now so it should be able to get probably like 36 volts out of this before we go input and it's basically the same there that we got a oscillation that doesn't look too terrible got a break out LEDs working and now we've got a one amp nearly at 34 volts which has just gone up to 1.2 bit of a jump and we like it when things like that start happening but if I uh I'll press this button again I can't really turn it up any higher just because uh the input voltage needs to do up but I don't want to turn up the input voltage uh too high while it's unload because it will show a different voltage and then when I turn it down it could overvolt this and kill it maximum 60 volts this can go up too so if I put 58 and a half volts to that let's start turning them up again and break out there now we can get mini 70 watts mini 70 watts we have 40 volts 1.7 amps and 6.2 watts well that seems to be all I can actually get out of this uh like this but I'll be able to get more if I change this this is what's holding this back now that's why I've got a few coils because now if I want to draw more power and get this uh to give it more of a display I need to adjust that or I can put some capacitance on because there's no capacitance on this circuit at the moment uh now part of the reason why I wanted to do this was because the um the warranty the warranty from alie alie alie express for this is is run out I've not had it a month and it's already run out so basically if I kill it I'm on my own or if I kill it I'm on my own to the point where I still got a bit of time with PayPal because I paid I'm pretty sure with PayPal I like to pay with PayPal because you get a bit of an extended warranty and the reason why I say like that is because I think you get like 60 days or something but it can take up to 45 days to get to you which if you're a shop re-selling these things that's no good at all of course because it could be on the shelf for a month let's say um but if you're just an individual buying them that's okay but so as you can see here I mean it says there what we're drawing 69 watts and that probably tallys up to around about that as well let's say 45 times 1.5 is uh 45 plus that half for that would be another sort of 20 so 65 70 about 70 watts yeah for what I'm going to do now is looking at these numbers that's the maximum I can do with that input I'm going to put a capacitor on there and we're going to see what we can do with that annoyingly you have to keep pressing this set button whenever you want to change this it's can be a bit annoying it'd be nice if it just stays so you can just turn it up and down as you wish you know in case you get a bit of a panic on or something's happening that you don't want to happen so I'm going to now turn the output off on that and I'm going to add some capacitance to the circuit and we're going to see what the difference is between that and that so just bear with me just while I've just had that right so what we've got going on so what I've done is I'll put this 10 millifarad on just to see what it's like let's put some lights on the subject 10 millifarads and we're gonna still got the same 58.3 volts and no no this has changed so I'm going to turn the output on I'm going to do this set thing so we can turn it up so three volts or something either is oscillation at three volts four volts and the next one is going to be the break out and that this coil is about 25 volts there we go as expected let's just turn it as far as it will go oh summit just went pop or did make a little noise wouldn't be surprised if that's that past the summit just did a little pop I don't know if you could have heard that on the actual video I did and there's no real difference so we're doing exactly the same on the walk that's me again that's just about the way I was getting exactly the same over there just goes out the way exactly the same there 69.78 so it's like it's like a fire and 1.68 amps I love looking at this especially I don't know how close or how detailed that is that you can see but for me it's quite detailed I quite like the look of it anyway let's turn this back down again so we'll press this set button we'll press this press this and we can start winding it down so you don't want to just turn the power off because there's going to be a lot of energy in this coil and it's going to want to go somewhere so it's nice to turn it all down to settle it all down okay so our output now can turn that off that's all the same now what I'm going to do now is I'm going to change this coil up and I'm going to put a I'll put the two-turn coil in and although it probably looks terrible because it's just a piece of copper wire and there's some electrical tape around it to insulate it from each other and everything else I'm going to stick them hopefully that's connected nicely and not touching anything that it shouldn't be let's give it a go turn the output power on there bring them on out let's make these buttons all turn that up okay oscillation straight away a little look actually so four volts 3.99 this is there when we get the oscillation let's see what the breakout voltage is on 17 volts 19 volts okay so the breakout voltage is no let me just turn it down again 17 volts 19 volts 20 volts breakout okay turn it up we're on 1.6 amps and we're only on 30 volts this time we're drawing nearly one amp over here 57 volts still we're 50 watts we're 34 volts 36 volts right we're on 72 watts at 2.2 amps I can't go any higher on that we're at 2 amps nearly 80 watts over on the boost converter 73 there we can't really go up any higher so I'm going to turn it down all the way and I'm just going to change that capacitor and put this 0.27 buck on let's cross in and see what happens now with that smaller capacitor so we've got a breakout that's what we can see over there because the way I've got that set up four volts again see where we get our breakout 17 volts 18 volts 19 volts 20 volts there we go it's probably going to be absolutely no difference really oh let me just turn that down just for a second actually I just want to check some I want to see how warm that is now we're all right let's turn it back up again a bit past that 19 20 25 33 33 so that's 36 volts 73 watts I have to keep in mind as well the difference there isn't really that great deal but then for this you have to leave it going a little bit for it to start oscillating itself so you get more of a prettier pattern out of this but considering there's only four extra watts that's been taken off there it's not a great deal really I've really got two amps out of voltage it's a pity that you can't actually get the voltage to go up any higher this is being pulled down here to 40 volts but so anyway let's take this back down don't even see look I can't really turn up the input voltage anymore okay I had to think but it was only for about about a second or two and what I thought was actually what I'm going to put this on top because this is my little where we get some of this flying off so I'm just going to coil this slightly so it sits underneath I'll just do it like a pig stale slightly I just want that to sit on top that was a good possibility this circuit won't work now because it tends to do that it tends to sort of play up a little bit when I'm doing this sort of stuff so let's see we can get it oscillating to start off with okay so I just turn it up we've got five volts there we go we've got an oscillation that's good but it took four volts we've got that oscillation okay so we're not really going to get breakout as what we've seen before but what we will be able to do is the is your favorite slide let's just put that there for a second I didn't get it as we can see we can get the tube to light up which we can that's not very bright at all but then it's only doing one point in watts so I just pop that up there and position this in such a way I'm just going to try some sort of backstop that's all metal that's probably not a good idea for me to be using that so let me just put that there and just swap that out for that glass so we're going to put you know clip the components and push them so let's see we've got 10 volts 120 milliamp 1.2 watts which adds up quite well I see that just slightly that's why these blue buttons again so okay we've got the three watts coming off this now oh that's nice and bright it's just uh flipped up I suppose you've got a 24 volts by going into that and that says it's 30 watts 1.2 uh 1.2 amps so where's my so we get anything up here we do not a great deal and I suppose we're using some of that up in uh drops it down to 10 15 what 10 15 watts and I was just trying to see what it does over there on the power spine was it down 57 actually it says it actually goes up in voltage to 58 volts there that's 57 that's quite a bright LED uh strip lump there's a bigger than I thought it's four-foot thing that is that's using a 30 watt power so I'm quite sure how many watts in this these strip lumps would be anyway for lighting things up I've never seen that efficient really but let me just adjust this I suppose I could turn it up a little bit and just see what we can do that's 50 that's sort of 60 watts not that massively different two amps but look at the voltage staying up over there look I still got 57 oh it's going down a bit that's maybe as I'm getting closer it's uh no as I got closer to the actual coil maybe it does take a little bit of right six oh no it's gonna turn this down okay so that's 12 volts seven seven five four zero just turn that off a second and then out the way do something to put on the top for a little bit of break up over there this is a a soldering iron tip that I used the other day for cutting some gunk stuff in my quadcopter so let's turn that up see what we get a breakout on the top so I'm going to 10 volts 1.3 watts with 30 milliamps our volts we've got might have to induce the breakout okay so that says 50 volts 50 watts so let's just see okay we've induced the breakout and I also need to keep a check on temperature so I'm just gonna turn this down just while I do that check on temperature that will be all right just to give it a little bit of experiment to see how we're gonna see let it break out for itself so we're on 20 volts 21 volts okay so it's breaking out for itself around about 28 volts ah now up to 30 volts not 60 watts practically we're still on sort of 58 volts 1.1 1.1 amps the thing I go above that 30 volts we're down to 50 51 48 we're going up now we're just dropping on the other side we're down to 37 now so the maximum we're going to get out there yeah we've got 75 watts we've got two amps 37 volts you can see that kind of a piddly bit of breakout really power spike doesn't feel warm or there's no warm air coming out of it really hmm but that's 70 watts going through the little wires up there coming through to the switch and stuff probably might be getting warmer in here huh and I don't have any fans to expel air out the back either so let's just turn that down a bit because it's still 75 watts still quite a bit of energy okay so I've got to be able to try well I've got to be able to give this more power it seems um this unit here um it's seeming like as it's dropping it's because it's not getting enough power from this unit here which is interesting and it might also mean that the power supply that was used before which is a 650 watt power supply may not have issues as such I thought it was I thought it got issues because this is doing practically the same thing as what that one was so so I don't want to think about that now I need to have that little reefing I'll be back in a bit


Hello. Thank you for coming to this webinar. This webinar will focus on how to make subscription products successful, which is related to the revenue of companies like Netflix and Disney Plus and most of the utility apps. I hope I can help you have a better understanding of what subscription is all about and how to make it successful in terms of revenue. So before we start, I would like to give a quick intro for myself. I'm Joseph Chen. I was working at Canva, the design platform, Beauty Plus, the camera and photo editor. And you can make up the virtual makeup photo editor. I was working as Prada Rose in all of them. And I got my master's degree in computer science from Tsinghua University in Taiwan. Then I pursued my career in product management ever since. So in the coming session for subscription, let's shorten it as sub for our convenience and easier pronunciation. So regarding today's agenda, I would like to split it into four parts. What is sub? What are the factors to sub success? How to make sub successful? What else to do to boost sub? I believe everyone will have encountered sub dialogues on mobile apps in daily life, more or less. Let's have a definition of sub first. So with sub, users purchase the time to use premium features. And sub is a common monetization model for premium products. For example, Spotify allows users to listen to music for free. But to enjoy an ad for experience, users have to subscribe. In terms of plans, there could be but not limited to monthly, quarterly, semi-annual and annual plans. There is no right or wrong in having only one or a few plans for a product. Now, here are two key concepts when it comes to the sub. Let's try to understand the definition first. One is prepaid, you know, with which users purchase a plan for a certain time without auto renew. The other is recurring, with which user purchase a plan for a certain period with auto renew.  Prepaid usually accompanies a higher trial rate, but lower retention rate because users have to manually subscribe again. So in terms of LTV, these two might vary in different products. But usually recurring users might have a higher LTV, but it really depends. For every product, experiments have to be run. So what are the factors to sub's success? Developers adopt sub to make revenue, which we usually track as AR. AR is like annualized recurring revenue, or MR, which stands for a monthly recurring revenue. LTV, lifetime value, RPU, average revenue per user, etc. Let's talk about three main breakdown metrics. Trial rate, trial to pay rate, subscriber retention rate. To help us understand better, we can form a pay user funnel, and here are three major conversions. Free users converting into trialing users, trialing users converting into paying users, and paying users converting into retaining paying users. So let's talk about some definitions again. So trial rate refers to the probability of free users converting to trialing users upon seeing sub dialog. Generally speaking, this rate help us track whether users are willing to give you a try. So this is like a very important metric. Trial to pay rate refers to the probability of trialing users converting to paying users by the end of the trial. And the third one is subscriber retention rate, which refers to the probability of paying users continuously subscribing to a plan. So with this matrix, we can have like a starting point or like a benchmark to identify issues and make assumptions. Last but not least, let's talk about how to make sub products successful. One disclaimer here is that to make a paid product successful, it is essential to make the free product experience stand out as well, or like at least improved or refined. Otherwise, these free products or like free users may just churn without paying. I will talk about some like methodologies, like a bit after this part. So before going into specifics, I would like to mention that like the core of success is all about running experiments. There's actually no secret. It's rather important to do, you know, competitor analysis to understand the markets better. However, it's also important to make sure that like when you shift features to your audiences, this shift, you know, this shift features should be what they really need or what they really want. So it is highly recommended that you identify issues through data from user research in numbers and make assumptions prioritize and run experiments to verify your assumptions.  Let's talk about what potential directions might better your sub products. Usually, we can think based on, you know, conversions. The first one is about trial rate. There are two moments for trial rate. One is discoverability. More like sub discoverability, which is when and where in the product users see the sob dialogue. The other is what users see in the sob dialogue. So the first thing is that you can always experiment on the entry points of sob dialogue. For example, will it improve, you know, revenue by putting the entry point at a home button? Or is revenue earned the same if the entry point is put under the settings page only different, you know, different products may have different results. It's always worth experimenting. Another frequent question is, is it necessarily bad to display sob dialogue when a new user opens your app? Or is it necessarily good to display sob dialogue after a new user activates? Run the experiment to see which leads to better revenue and decide your product strategy. There is no absolute answer to this question. So in addition, if you can get user behavior data, you can segment them into different clusters with certain characteristics defined by you and do a targeted marketing. For example, you can do an app push notifications or email marketing to users who ever went trial and but turned with a targeted copy to see if they convert into paying users. Last but not least, regarding what to display on the dialogue, first thing is that you must confirm or like check the terms and policy of the app stores you're publishing your apps to like Apple and Google Play. Meaning these terms and policy is key for your product to be approved before publishing. Now back to our topics. So when users see your dialogue, here are several things to consider. Discounts. Copy. So, you know, copies are something that sounds like very easy, but here's an example. How can you make sure, like, how can you make users more comfortable by having the word in like enjoy three day free trial, cancel any time? Run experiments to see which one will lead to better conversions. And also you have to consider the pricing and payment localization. For example, if your product is launched in the States and launched in Singapore, the payment methods should be localized because you know in Singapore grab pay as a very trending way for like electronic payment. But you know what applies in the States might not be working in Singapore. And also you have to consider like the discoverability of the city at bottom city refers to call to action. For example, you can experiment with having discounts on recurring plans and see if the overall revenue increases. The second conversion is trial to pay rate. To think of the potential directions, you must lay users experience the value. For example, a net drive product may lay users experience the super fast downloading time upon traveling. So users know what it is like when they are paying for the products. And you can experiment on, you know, notifying users how much they have saved in certain area in settings every time they use premium features. The core concept is to let them understand the value of the premium plans. But in the long term, it is necessary to always listen to paying users feedback. My experience is that you can create certain user groups or chats on whatever social platforms or instant messengers to keep in touch with this paying users and try to identify what to improve for the existing paying features and what could be like the innovation. But you always have to remember that you also have to track the final numbers to make rationale and like a rationale decisions. Last but not least, if a user is trying to turn, you can experiment on having certain prompt and let users know the benefits of this premium plans and see if the revenue actually improves. Now let's talk about a conversion from subscribers to return subscribers. So for this state to drive more revenue, not only do we have to keep improving paying features, but we may have some strategies, you know, on loyal users. Let's put it this way. If a user keeps purchasing prepaid plan and your product's recurring plans have better ARPU, it may be worth it to experiment with offering a discount to convert prepaid users to recurring users. So they might be more committed to your product. The same logic can apply to the experiment of converting monthly subscribers to annual subscribers. It might be great to see if this experiment could actually improve your revenue. You know, in Asia, some apps will mention how much a subscriber has saved from using premium features under settings page. And when he tries to turn, a prompt mentions how much he has saved throughout the, you know, other sub time to let him know the value more. It could be another space to experiment on. Lastly, I would like to mention that for most products, the majority of users may turn upon trailing. And that's common and normal. But usually, these users are unlikely to convert into paying users ever since. What if they're given a second chance of trial after certain days, like a month, a season, 90 days? Some of them may still be active users and they're still using your product. What if they're given a discount to be, you know, paying users? Will that increase the overall revenue? This subscription strategy could be another space to dive into as well. So now I would like to talk about some non-product things that could improve your sub-products. First is that it is essential to track the art pool of users coming from page channels. So you may identify certain issues. For example, you may identify issues on the landing pages you use for performance marketing. Second is that it is crucial to work with data analysts to know which user clusters may have higher chances to convert into paying users.  And you can work with the marketing team to do targeted marketing, like with the push notifications, with the email marketing, etc. Third is that you must have, like, custom obsession. It is encouraged to urge paying users to join certain groups or chats you can keep in touch with. And listen to whatever issues they have encountered when using your paid products. And you try to serve them better by running some experiments. So the revenue earned is just about product itself. It is also about how users interact with your products. Generally speaking, it is crucial to track revenue conversion performance by organic and non-organic channels and see what could be improved. Like I just mentioned, the landing pages for performance marketing may have issues to be discovered. Or the assets like the creative and copy for performance marketing and the product are not matching. So the revenue conversions are not performing well from these channels. That's also likely. So you have to track every conversion from the top funnel. Now I'd like to share one basic methodology that I organized myself. It can be utilized for both free and paid products. Let's say we are designing the strategy for Netflix. So step one, the key metrics could be ARR, analyzed recurring revenue. Step two, the key actions are trailing and subscribe. Step three, the key fundamentals are trial rate, trial to pay rate, subscriber retention rate. So let's continue. So for quantitative and qualitative data, I would do user analysis through user research, interviews to identify issues. Or through the data analytics of funnel, user profile, etc. And could be based on comparator and market analysis. Then I would define the problem like entry point, discoverability issues, or pricing issues, blah blah blah, and make assumptions, prioritize them, and try to design MVP experiments to see if they will actually improve the revenue. And if they work, I would go further. Usually for prioritization, I will use eyes or rise frameworks. As I said, it is rather important to improve your free product. So users will not turn before converting into paying users. So I would like to talk about it for a bit. For most of the apps, it is essential to track malware and ARR. ML, which stands for monthly active users, is composed of new and return users. You need to have strategies for new users and return users. Specifically, how you acquire users through organic and non-organic channels. And you must track their performances and keep improving to see how to drive better revenue for these two. For ARR, as I mentioned earlier, you break it down into trial rate, trial to pay rate, and subscriber retention rate. Then try to identify issues and design strategies. I hope this visualized chart can help you have a very basic picture of how to improve free and paid products. And this chart is basically for demonstrating how I usually design a strategy presentation to senior executives. To make your sub-products successful, it is really important to get buy-ins from your senior management team as well. I would suggest visualizing your strategy as much as possible and be super clear about directions, goals, and success metrics to help a senior management team assess whether it's worth it to invest in resources.  One is that prepay and recurring sub is a common monetization model that enables users to use paid features. Two is that there are three metrics, trial rate, trial to pay rate, and subscriber retention rate. Three is that you always have to run experiments to verify your assumptions based on issues identified from qualitative and quantitative data. And here is my LinkedIn. Feel free to search Joseph Chen on LinkedIn and add me as a connection if needed. That's all about my presentation today. Thank you.


My name is Kazewasa from Japan. My topic is actually a bit changed during the stick approach to the analysis of the characters and its current findings. Written here, it reads Pelezu Nuzha. This means Hello Friends in Sani, a manuscript of which I will mention today, so Pelezu Nuzha. My presentation consists of three parts. First of all, I will talk about geolinguistic approach to the analysis of the characters and its results. The maps of the e-script will be shown when I will mention their practical use and their contribution to researching in manuscripts. Then one in manuscript preserved at the Starz Bibliothek to Berlin will be introduced. According to my analysis, it has turned out to be a manuscript written in Sani. Finally, future perspectives will be referred to in summary. Today's presentation is actually based on my several previous works, as shown. And one of them, my e-book remarks maps of the e-script based on the Swadis 100 wireless can be downloaded for your charge. It must be superfluous, but let me just add introductory part of the languages of the ethnic group. The languages of the ethnic group belong to the Lolo-Bermes language group of the Tibetan-Berman language family. According to the official classification in China, there are six e-dialects, northern, eastern, southern, south-east, western, and central. Four of these six dialects I have mentioned, namely northern, eastern, southern, and south-eastern can be written with the e-script. And numerous manuscripts in those dialects have been written in it. The south-eastern group of the dialects categorized thus by the official Chinese classification are placed as one language of central Lolo-Bermes by Bradley 2002 with the remaining three dialects of northern, eastern, and southern dialects being placed as northern Lolo-Bermes languages. In this presentation, however, for the reasons of expediency, I used the official Chinese classification, because all the data that I used for the analysis of the use and varieties of the e-script were found in, only in Chinese publications, which used the official classification, of course. Furthermore, this work does not address the classification system, and here's a chart showing a dialect classification with or without the script. And besides correspondence between Chinese official classification and Bradley's, just as I have mentioned. And this is a map illustrating the areas with the e-script and dialect classification according to the previous chart. As we know, e-characters show a great diversity from a region to a region. They seem to have been logographic, but now in most of the areas where we can find them, they are in the process of a transition from a logographic to a syllabographic system. Interestingly enough, the e-script was not designed for mutual communication, but for confidentiality, as Dr. Wasluzka points out in her previous works. It is an exclusive writing system to P-Mos, the religious leader among the people. In other words, e-characters are very, very personal. As e-manuscripts have been written by P-Mos hand from one generation to another, many phonetic loans have occurred quite freely and countless paragraphs have appeared without restraint through ages. It will be carrying calls to Newcastle, but anyway, I mentioned this. As a result, there is a huge dialectal difference as seen in the maps of the e-script. Okay, let's move on to the section one, geolinguistic approach to the analysis of e-characters and its results. Why I started to draw maps of e-characters, the biggest reason is that I wanted, of course, and I expected to clarify as concretely as possible how e-characters have changed throughout history and to trace through which path they would have propagated. With a view to investigating these matters, mapping e-characters by meaning seem to be promising. Now, let's have a look at several maps of e-characters and that results. This is the first example. This map demonstrates AB distribution. From this map, we can tell that distinctive paragraphs in red circle area may have occurred only in the Asian dialect region, in particular in Quechua area. Therefore, this character form can be regarded to be regional character in this Quechua area. On the other hand, Lutron region, Lutron area, a Lutron region which also belong to the same dialect as the red circle members in Quechua does not possess the identical form to those seen in Quechua as long as the data shows at the moment. So this fact also seems to support my idea that the form in question is regional character exclusively in Quechua. And this is a map which shows ABA distribution. In this kind of distribution, parapheric distribution A is thought to be older than central one B, for example, if there is no big movement of people or if a feature of the A does not occur independently. Nevertheless, it is not possible to eliminate a strong possibility of phonetic loan coincidentally having happened in both areas, Shida and Lonlin. Just as seen now, one of the most frequent and remarkable phenomena in the e-script is a phonetic loan, Jiajie. This have happened with high frequency. In my maps, more than 20 possible cases have been identified. Let's have a look at the examples. This is a map of the characters, meaning many. And the characters seen in the area shaded in green are picked to graph that once meant a row. Therefore, the meaning right now bear of many must be a result of a phonetic loan. This is a map of the characters, meaning big. I mentioned like this, common character form is seen among those circled in red. And the character in Luna shaded in red is supposed to be an paragraph of those. In Shida, the three characters circled in blue are considered to be phonetic loans due to their homonymity with E. They express water, for example, as well as big. Characters that are similar to them are used to indicate water where the e-script exists. As a result of the analysis of all the e-script maps based on the Swadis 100 word list, basic characters have been set. Here are the criteria for determining the basic characters. A given form is found in more than 75% of all representative points. A case where a continuum is recognized among characters. A case where at least a common feature is still obviously recognized. Here is a chart of the basic characters. From one to 20, then from 21 to 42, there are 42 basic characters in total. They are a tentative one, but anyway, I've set 42 basic characters after the moment. In this section, I will talk about the practical use of the basic characters. For example, in a case of determining provenance of e-manuscripts. For detecting provenance of e-manuscripts by utilizing the 42 basic e-characters. How does it work? Let's have a look. The procedure for detecting provenance of an e-manuscript is very simple. First of all, we eliminate the 42 basic characters. In other words, basically we do not have to take them into intensive consideration. Of course, it depends, though. Then, the next step is to find out distinctive characters, including such paragraphs in each region, which can be found quite easily by the e-characters' maps, as we have just looked in the AV distribution map. Okay, we will have an example of this more in detail. Here, we have a manuscript in BIULO as a typical case. BIULO is be able to take Antonio Verster, DeLong's Oriental, now it has joined BULAC. I'm just giving you a brief introduction of this manuscript. I'm not mentioning the details, so if interested, please refer to my paper of the 51st ICSTL, which is available online. Okay, well, let me state my conclusion first. This is a Nisu manuscript of the Cezanne dialect. The most striking feature of this manuscript is the fact that this is a bilingual manuscript, and this is a very rare case among the e-manuscripts. The rightmost lines are translations in Chinese corresponding to Nisu. The middle lines are transcriptions by Chinese characters of corresponding to Nisu characters. And the leftmost lines are Nisu sentences. So we will have a look at these characters and examine them. I skip the leftmost column, because I have just mentioned this. Please just have a quick look by yourself, and let's go to the middle column. As stated in EWAS 2008, the e-language written in this manuscript is Nisu. Nisu belongs to Cezanne dialect according to the official classification in China. Nevertheless, it used to be classified as Edelester, namely the Eastern E, Nassu, in the inventory of VIULO. I hope it would have already been corrected. Then let's have a look at the last part. Each Chinese bilingual manuscript, which is hardly found both inside and outside China, except Huaiyi. This is not only partially translated in Chinese, but also transcribed by Chinese characters. This is the very first character of this manuscript. It's a character meaning sky by judging from its Chinese translation, as is obvious in the map. As is obvious in the map, an identical character is found in the Southern dialect area around Shippian. Although a similar one is also found around Lu Chuan of Eastern dialect. What its transcription more can indicate seems very similar to the actual data more as shown on the map. Now let's move on to the second example. This is the first character of the second sentence in the third line. In the map, identical or similar characters to this area found in Shippian and Shuanbei. Taking the transcription, Ming, and the actual pronunciation of this character in Shippian, Ming, into consideration, it is highly possible to say this character is typical in any way Southern dialect. And here's another character, which seems to signify below. As the data shows, identical or similar characters are only found in the Southern dialect area around Shippian. The pronunciation suggested by Ke is similar to Ke of Southern dialect. The fourth and last example is this character. An identical or similar character to each is only found around Shippian of Southern dialect. What can indicate is similar to Ke or Ke of Southern dialect. The character signifying sky is written like this and pronounced more in Southern dialect, whereas the identical character is pronounced as Xi and means to die or death in Eastern dialect as indicated in the inventory of B.I.U. a little before. Geolinguistic data also strongly suggests that the e-language written in this manuscript should belong to Southern dialect or Nisu, as other characters demonstrated in this presentation are also typically found in Southern dialect. Now I will introduce the case of a manuscript of Sani which is preserved in Starts Bibliotech to Berlin. In Starts Bibliotech to Berlin, there are four e-manuscripts. It is said that the collection Francis Rock, who is famous for his abandoned Tunasian collection, and three of them, their fax mill editions were already published in 1977 and 1980 by Klaus Janert. Unfortunately, in these publications, there are not a few mistakes which appear to have happened in the photographic work or restoration of them. For example, in every two pages, we can find the wrong side of the page. Until I visited the Starts Bibliotech to Berlin in 2015, I had believed that there must have been only three e-manuscripts there. In reality, there was one more and this is Sani manuscript. Sani is one sub-director of the Southeastern dialect of official classification in China. Sani spoke mainly in Shilin, the autonomous county of Yunnan province. It appears to have arrived at the library more recently than the other three because this manuscript is not included in the works of Janert in 1977 and 1980. Therefore, it must have arrived in the library after 1980 at least. According to the inventory, it seems to have been registered in 1999. Before I researched it, nobody had mentioned it. This means that nobody had realized that it is written in Sani. Following my tentative provenance detecting procedure, I have found several typical characters in Sani from the manuscript. Here are some examples. The left one, Ng'an, is a common form of a polar question in Sani. The middle one, Ma Ng'an, is a common negative form. Especially the character Ng'an is very typical in Sani. It has not been found in other areas as far as I know. The right example, R or R, is a common prefix of nouns or negative particle used among children. This is also very typical in this dialect and never found in other dialect. Here show the maps concerning the forms of to be and not to be. As far as I have found from all the data I referred to, we can see that the case of Sani is distinctive. No other areas possess the identical or even similar characters. This one and this one. Here is also significant additional information about this manuscript. Judging from the Chinese sentences written on the last two pages, this manuscript must have been written by a female living in a village called Wei Zi Tsun in Guishan, Yunnan, China. Why? Because surname is appearing in these Chinese sentences is not found among Sani people, but Chinese. And Chinese people with this surname lived only in Wei Zi Tsun village. Here, that left picture is one page of this manuscript. Due to the copyright, this image is what I copied during my research in Berlin. Shape and size, length is 26 centimetre by width is 20 centimetre. Page is 36 pages and 40 sheets, bound with threads on the left side. And light beige rough paper. And sentences are basically written from left to right and from top to bottom. Characters are mostly written only on one side. There are 11 lines by 16 squares about 1.5 centimetre or 1.5 centimetre on average. And these squares are divided into three columns. All lines are in red. The characters are written with a brush mostly in Chinese black ink, but partially in red one. Written in Pentaslavic regulated verse, Chinese sentences are also written on the last two pages. As Professor Bender mentions, likewise prefixes are found only occasionally and are often more in the vein of a disclaimer of performance about the author's lack of knowledge than commentary on the content of the work. This manuscript also has such a preface or with the author's seemingly modest statement or more accurately his request to readers for tolerating his fumble and the reason why he decided to write this work. Before stepping into examining the main part, I will demonstrate you when this manuscript was written. This is a very rare case as to the e-manuscripts because the production date is normally not written on them. However, in this manuscript, there is description of the date of its production. This is mentioned in the very first sentence of this manuscript. According to it, it was written in 1934, it's Mingguo, 23rd year. As you can see here, an empire does not exist. 23 year, the dot year. Wu Mu, that means the emperor. Ma Zhu doesn't exist. Nti Shikou, that means 23 year. And the next line, law, it's complete or full or filled or something like that. So already 23 years have passed or something like that meaning. And Mu to make, Li is practical, normally expressing a topic. So it used like topic marker. And Nti Shikou, that means dot year. So an emperor doesn't exist. So that's why it means Mingguo. The second line says Tiger months, the first month of the lunar year, 12th day, rabbit day on that day. Here we have a pangolin as well as rabbit. In Chinese astrology, they used to have not a rabbit but a pangolin. It is said that later they started to use a rabbit instead of a pangolin under the influence of Chinese astrology or custom. The second line still continues and it says it seems that I cannot work. Khu ma ge, I can't do, I can't work. Khu zi vi, that means so or that's why or something like that. And in the third line, the meaning of its first half out is vague. So I dare not demonstrate it here but in the latter half as displayed here, I wish none I think or I hope. I have something in mind, that means something like this. I wish readers may not sneer at me. That means prohibition. Ye la, that means sneer at or dried or jar or something like that. We can see the writer's request to readers for tolerating his fumble. The fourth line is here. Actually this sentence seems to continue. However, there is no following word. It says it has snowed, so that's why I cannot go to work. Vajra, it snows, ka, so that's why no mu zhi ma ge, I can't go to work. Ka zi zi, that's why or something like that. But there is no following word. And the line still continues and it says the person living here is 23 years old, then writes this or when the author is 23 years old, he writes this or something like that. So it's all that the person normally writes differently but here the person used anagrams, anagrams, actually phonetic loan, I think.  Ka ku, ku that means to do, but here it means to write. Although I suggested that this manuscript should be literary work, the further investigation implies that it may be a sort of sutra which tells how to find a suitable place and build a middle house. To determine the content still requires much more decipherment and investigation. There are many parts, pimos are not sure. This is partly due to the individuality of the characters in themselves and doubtedly but also due to several instruments and vocabulary which are not used and known to sunny people anymore today. Now future perspective in the study of the manuscript where we mentioned for closing my talk. As seen in the last section, while our technology advances and many other tools are abundant, we are losing countless commercial clues for interpreting the e-manuscripts. This means a great loss not only to e-people but also to all of us. Therefore, it is urgently needed to decipher as many manuscripts as possible. Professor Bender also mentioned this matter and we have to decipher as promptly as possible. Since most pimos are advanced aged and pessimistically very few successors to them. And it is inevitable to analyze written in languages from all the linguistic perspectives. In order to qualify the historical changes of e-characters and possible route or possible routes for the propagation of the e-script, more data of e-characters from more regions are undoubtedly needed. It is profitable to continue geolinguistic approach to the analysis of e-characters. And here are the bibliographies and dictionaries that I refer to. And thank you very much, Nick Wu.

Today we are going to get in the Christmas spirit, Christmas is right around the corner, so that means we're going to have some Christmas shopping to do. Now this video is going to be about how to spruce up your gifts. I'm going to show you how spending a few extra dollars can make your simple gift look fabulous. Today I'm going to show you how to make two really easy gift baskets. One is going to be the gift of curl, the gift of no frizz, whatever curly girl wants. So let's say you buy them the Shea Moisture Curl Enhancing Smoothie or maybe the Deep of Curl Super Cream My Two Favorites. So I mean you could just wrap this up or you know just slap a bow on it and be like hey Merry Christmas, but it just looks so minimal you know or let's say you gave your friend a DVD like I don't know at the top of my head every Beyond Grenade Today video ever created. Okay fine realistically you could give your friend their favorite DVD so you got their DVD, once again you could slap a bow on there and be like Merry Christmas but it just just looks so much just there you know whatever. So I'm going to take you guys shopping with me we're going to go to the 99th store and the Dollar Tree and we're going to find some ways to spruce up our gifts. So I've got my holiday Christmas sweater on so let's do some Christmas shopping. Alrighty I've never been to this 99th store before so that way you know if I look crazy for talking to myself I'll never see these people again. Okay now we're going to do our movie date night Netflix and chill type gift so look at these cute little popcorn boxes these are going to be perfect we need one of those and we can get some movie theater popcorn and then depending on who the gift is for just think about some of their favorite candy and snacks. Mike and Ike's, you like Mike and Ike's, where your boyfriend at? Got a boyfriend? Okay so let's start off with a curly hair type basket so we're going to need a microfiber towel so you don't create frizz by using a regular towel and it also be nice to have a bunch of shower caps for our day two, day three and day four hair. Now honestly these little hair bands have been really good for putting my hair into a pineapple at night so we're going to get some of those. Always need bobby pins because we lose them we don't know where they go but we always need more and let's see we're gonna need some hair ties because they're also unfaithful and they will break on you. Alrighty I think we found some pretty good things so now let's go home and I'm going to show you how to make it a little cuter. All right now that we're back from the 99 cent store on the Dollar Tree let's start making our gift basket. I have been a big fan of gift baskets probably because my mom and my aunt had their own business called basket biz shout out to basket biz where you realize that just putting things in a basket with a nice pretty bow and it just makes everything look so much better. I do this for like all birthdays baby showers and when I walk in with this big old basket everybody automatically thinks I have the best gift even though they don't even know what's inside of it yet it's all about presentation. So I have this cute little Santa basket from the 99 cent store so now we have a basket let's cut off the tag so nobody knows that we actually only spent 99 cents and then we would usually fill this up with like mush paper like at the bottom of Easter baskets but of course because I wanted to film this video the 99 cent store was out so I just bought some things from Amazon so I'm gonna use some bubble packaging perfect and one less. So now I have a little bit of my fluff if you don't have any type of bubble wrap you also could use newspaper. Newspapers kind of becoming extinct so I don't have any of that either but if you could just have some type of fluff that's what you're going to need at the bottom of your basket. I'm gonna use some of this little snow stuff that they also had I don't have to cut this I can rip this so much easier. Okay there's our snowy little patch let's say we're gonna give away the Deep of Curl super creams this is gonna be our our focal point but we have so many other cute things to add in our basket now I'm gonna open this because this looks like you got it from the 99 cent store we don't want people to know and I also got this cute little basket from the Dollar Tree and we're gonna put it inside of there because that just looks you know cuter oh there's a lot of these you can never get enough shower caps I use these on the daily okay now we got our bag now let's get our microfiber towel because that's important this is a little yellow one I'm also gonna take out the little flexi rods get these little hair ties I know what to do I'm actually gonna take the flexi rods and put these around them there we go flexi rods and our hair ties bobby pins how can we make the bobby pins look a little bit cuter maybe we can't so I was gonna cut off the name and I'm just gonna stick this right here in the front and I bought the cute little vanity mirror because why not am I doing this backwards of course I am let's move everything there is our beautiful curly hair essential gift basket okay so now that our basket is cute and fabulous we're now going to wrap it in cellophane cellophane is just this like clear type of wrapping paper basically so we're going to put this in the middle and then you want to raise it so you have some height beautiful now we need some ribbon luckily I have a million balloons lying around for my 100k video doesn't matter what color you just need some type of string to hold it in place so I'm actually gonna turn my basket so that the back is going to be pushing this up like this we're just gonna bring up the sides I just want to scrunch it all together we can get back in there and make it cute once again now I'm gonna get my string and you're just gonna tie a knot and now we're gonna get some pretty ribbon the ribbon is the icing on the cake so it's best if you get the really thick ribbon that has like the wire so you could bend it on the end beautiful hair care gift basket now for your next gift it could be something as simple as a dvd or we could dress it up and make it an epic movie night basket so I have my popcorn box that I found the dollar store that I love and this is going to be perfect and now I need some more raffia newspaper stuffing there you go I also got some sparkly garland I'm just gonna keep it in a pile oh yeah look how cute that looks already like it's overflowing with fabulousness so now we have your friend's favorite movie right but I wouldn't be a movie night without some popcorn so we're gonna slide the popcorn in there we're also gonna put in some of our favorite snacks like maybe some sour patch some skittles some junior mitts you know things you get at the movie theater and pay a hundred dollars for but these are all 99 cents we're gonna get some tape and I'm gonna tape these up higher to each other there we go and just like that you created a beautiful movie night Christmas basket and now we're just gonna wrap it just like we did our first basket so for what five seven dollars you just made your gift looks so epic and so thoughtful and they're gonna love it so here are my two completed gift baskets I have my hair care package you could put hair products I wish I would have bought the hair picks bobby pins scrunchies mirrors flexi rods all things that you might need if you have curly hair or you can make it towards whatever type of hair you have you can make it a beauty basket put some nail polish some lipstick eyelashes all things you could find at the 99 cent store and then you have your movie basket if you want to spend a little bit more money you could put maybe a blanket in here you could put some wine depending on the person you know just make it really personal for whoever you're buying the gift for if you go to like TJ maxx Ross Costco they have those huge elaborate baskets but then when people get them it has a lot of stuff that you don't usually like they're always like some dry crackers some weird types of cheese some dried fruits that you didn't even know could be dried and they end up either re-gifting your basket or throwing a lot of the stuff away but if you take the time to put in things that you know they actually like and love it's gonna make it so much better so that concludes my 99 cent store Christmas gift shopping video if you guys like this video please give it a thumbs up and subscribe I post new videos every Sunday so I hope to see you guys next week thanks for watching Bianca Renee today


If you're looking for good food, good music, and some nice art, all in one place then look no further than Nevis. For this week's Community Spotlight, Shrell Moore tells us about tastes and tunes at their annual Sites and Bite. Whether you're a first-timer, this is my first visit here for this event, and I have to say that it's a nice place to be, meet really nice people here. Or a seasoned Nevis foodie. It's a good thing to be able to participate in with the community and be tourists in our neighborhood. Everyone is welcome to the community for their annual Sites and Bites event. This is our third annual Sites and Bites, and we started it to help donate money and food to the Nevis Akely Food Shelf and to highlight what Nevis has to offer for food and arts and music in our community. All you need is a password from the Nevis Chamber of Commerce. Then you're free to taste and create. Prizes are also raffled off to attendees, so you could even walk away with a keepsake. Leona's had pizza by the slice and some tater tots. The bakery had some delicious cupcakes and goodies. Iron Horse and Bowling Hills had some sliders. This year, there are more than 20 vendors from the Nevis area who contribute their Sites and Bites to the event. This is the third year for the Nevis Sites and Bites event, and everybody says it just keeps getting better. It's great. It's a lot of fun, a lot of nice music, and great people. Face pain. Right? And the food and the music, we've got such good music out here. Over the years, the event has raised hundreds of dollars for the food shelf. And organizers say it just continues to grow. One thing is certain, the vendors are always here to help out when called upon. I hope it continues to grow because the artists that we feature over at the Music are local, and so it's kind of like unheard talent a little bit sometimes, and we just like everybody to come in and enjoy the town and the things we have to offer and the local art and music and things and just enjoy the day. Reporting in Nevis with this week's Community Spotlight, Sheryl Moore, Lakeland News.

The W-fit company, makers of those fine-fit products, presents the new-fit bandwagon, starring Alice Bay. To come with me to Alabama, let's go see my dear old mammy, keep frying eggs and straw and hammy. That sugar-cured hammy. That golden-gravid hammy. And that's what I like about the style. Good morning out of the Harris residence. Alice has been up for some time, but the master of the house is just now coming downstairs to join his wife. Oh, baby, you really look luscious at this moment. Look at that peaches and cream complexion. And those big brown eyes and that blonde wavy hair. Oh, you really got it, kid. Phil, will you stop looking at yourself in that mirror? Help it if I'm adorable. You're playing outside on the swing. I want to speak to you about yourself. Yeah, what's up? Well, baby Alice will be starting school next year, and so will Phyllis before long. Yeah, they are growing up. What are you thinking? It might be a good idea to get them a tutor. No, honey, they're too little. They're liable to fall off that thing and get hurt. No, Phil, I mean someone to come in a couple of days and we can get them started on their ABCs. Oh, I don't know, honey. When I was a kid, I didn't have no fancy teachers coming to my house. Oh, you didn't have no fancy teachers coming to your house. Well, that's weird if you acquire your vast education. What are you asking? I got it off my old man. When I was five years old, he took me every place he went. Oh, I suppose you wanted you to see things to yourself. No, he just didn't like to get loaded alone. That's not true. It is true. My first words were... You haven't forgotten them either. But Phil, this is serious. Emily Williams gave me the name of an excellent tutor. He's done wonders for her boys. What do you mean? Her kid's 19 and he's still drooling. Anyway, I'm going to have a talk with his name. Well, I don't think too much of the idea.  Look, what was good enough for their father is good enough for them. That's just it. All right, all right. I'll leave it up to you. Look, I've got to get out of the studio. We've got a band rehearsal this morning. You won't be long, will you? No, no. I'll be right back after lunch. All right, goodbye. Come to think of it, I might be back before lunch.  You haven't had any breakfast yet. All right, Sissy. I'll grab something down for you. No, no, no, no. You sit right down here and drink a cup of coffee. I've been keeping this room for you. Well, bless you, Sissy.  Oh, Mr. Harris. You know I'm not beautiful. What do you mean? I bet if I'd have met you ten years ago, they'd have had the time eat down. That's all right, Mr. Harris. Ten years ago, I had to cut the rope. You're sharp as a biscuit this morning. It's a... What's that perfume you got on? Oh, I'm Mr. Harris. I don't use perfume. Well, something smells awfully good. Well, I did put a little vanilla extract behind my ear. Will you keep it up, honey? After all, Alice got me with a dab of bourbon. That's the funniest thing. Well, I try. Look, Sissy, thanks for the coffee. I've got to get down to rehearsal now. Oh, Mr. Harris. I wonder if sometime on the radio, your band would play a number for me. Certainly. Be glad to. Honey, what is it? Slow, gently. We've asked them. Hey, Sissy, Harris playing that one would be like Senator Bill Boat singing Yankee Doodle's Andy. Put away them rates and forms and start the pitch because here comes your Dixieland. Yeah, I still know that. What's wrong with you, Artie? You're going to take my mother-in-law to Anaheim. What again? I thought you just took her there last week. I know. She keeps coming back. Yes, and next time, get rid of her. Now, let's get going. Hey, wait a minute. Where's Frankie, my guitar player? I'm only here, Curly, getting a cigarette out of my coat pocket. Frankie, get up. You'll get glass in your tongue. I was just kissing it. Goodbye. Never mind. Now, let's get this rehearsal over with. I'm sure you didn't pick a number yet. Okay. Well, hand over that file and let's see what we got. Okay. Five minutes more. Lump fire. Blow gently, sweet. How did that get in here? Oh, here's a good one. Blue skies. Hey, fellas, let's give this one the once over. You got it? Okay. Now, take it from me. One, two. Come on. Who's the wise guy in the outfit? What's the matter, Bill? What's the matter?  What's wrong with you guys? You sound like something that fell off of the Manhattan merry-go-round. I can't get a come on, fellas. Let's try this number four here. And let's try and let's take the lid off of it. Bill, are you going to take my phone away?  If you're ever down in Texas, look me up.  If you're ever down in Texas, look me up. Wear them in our men and love it. And the gals will show glad of it.  Everybody's going to holla, holly-doo, holly-doo. Everybody's there. We'll say holly-doo, holly-doo. Wear them in our men and love it. And the girls will show glad of it. If you're ever down in Texas, look me up. Ask any one for rusty. Everybody knows of me. They'll tell you where I'm riding at, for ADCUC.  Now we've got everything in Texas, looking up, looking up. With the moonlight on the prairie and the gal that painted prairie.  Ask any one for filthy. They'll tell you where I'm at. They'll say that I'm in Galveston with a boxback coat and a set of hats.   We've got everything in Texas, looking up. Looking up. Am I rider or am I riller? Man, that makes me feel a bit less.  So ride and take some taxes, or you'll wind up on the taxes.  Where's the gal that's good at figures? And the cowboy's quick on figures. If you're ever down in Texas, look me up. Where every gal's array from beauty. It's high, it's high, it's high, it's high. What I'm trying to tell you is I can't wait to get back down there so I can hear sounds like this.   Bye now. Bye. I'm going to fill the Dolcy Palace for my Alice down in Dallas.

Well, who do I sound like a hyena? Well, I don't know. Never mind. Now just get me the numbers, sister. Here's your party. I'm leaving the studio and I'll see you in a few minutes.  I got the tutor I was telling about to the children. He's coming two days a week. Yeah, what's he like?  English? What is he? One of them snooty mademoiselles? Wait a minute, Alice. That's with an English tutor. They'll come and get us. They'll stone us. This will ruin me. They'll... the white boat man will be there. It's gonna ruin my social standing. Your social standing? Certainly, it's bound to ruin my reputation as a crumb. You'll be very good with the children. And look, Phil, when you come home, when you come home, please do me a favor. Try to be a little careful. What do you mean? I mean your manners and your grammar. After all, this means you look so nice and I wouldn't like to lose in the first day. Now, wait a minute. What's wrong with Harry? I'll tell you what's wrong with Harry. Limit your call to five minutes, please. You get off of here. Look, Phil, I don't want to criticize you, but please be on your best behavior when you come home. Listen, honey, you don't need to worry about me. I'll ride in there on an English setter. Phil, goodbye. I'll see you later. Who are you, Daddy, honey? I was telling him about Mr. Merton, your tutor.  Well, I'm roughly half of your children like him. Why? Is he going to get better soon? Oh, no. No, no, he's just going to give you a few lessons so you and Alex will be all ready for school when the time comes. But why do we need a tutor? Dad doesn't think just about everything. Oh, did he, sir? Yes. Oh, Daddy, is this Monica? I thought she just rubbed them all off. Hey, Union, that was swell. That's all for today. I'll see you guys Sunday. Phil, hey, hey, Charlie. What is it, Frankie? What do you want? I've got a couple of pictures I want to show you. Oh, Frankie. Put them away.  No, no, there's just a couple of snapshots of a little cutie I met in Santa Monica. How do you like this one? We're taking down at the beach. How long has she been in the water? She's a cute kid. She never goes anywhere without her mother. Of course, her mother will go anywhere. Yes, Frank. How could you stop it? You've got to stop hanging around that Jack Perkwood rehearsal. Well, I like it. Hey, we're having a little party tonight up at Harry's place. Why don't you drop over? Party? You're going to be saggy. Sure, there'll be plenty of games. Frank, I've been all over that with you. All through it, Frankie. I can't make it. Oh, yeah. For God's sake. Alice won't let you out. Well, it ain't that at all. I want to stay home. Frankie, when a guy's got butter in the icebox, he don't go out looking for a old Leo.  You ain't the common yacht dog, Harris. I used to, though. You've been to Australia? Yeah, yeah. We ran into a couple of chicks the first night out, huh? That's right. That's okay. She's not around. Go ahead. We took to Dame Stanton? Yeah. And those outstanding girls really had to chew and jump it. They sure did. I didn't find out the two days later that mine was a kangaroo. Then I was doing what they call a never-more pit with a backswing glide. That was really good. Hey, listen, let me ask you something. Frankie, weren't those people in Australia Englishmen? I don't know. They were some kind of foreigners. Why? Well, Alice has a new English tutor for the kids, and she don't think I'm sharp enough for the guy. What do you mean? Meet him on his own ground. Talk his language. You know, go blindy, Governor.  Ain't it all right? Frankie, do them Englishmen really talk like that? Sure they do. Well, no wonder them Russians don't understand them. I didn't know you went out. Yes, Sissy, I have to run down to my face for some books. Are the children about? Yes, I think they're right in the front room. I'll sing them a song. Oh, thank you very much. I'll go in. Oh, Mr. Merton, I didn't see you coming in. I was just saying for the children. Yes. Well, fill this analysis.  All right, Mr. Merton. Well, Mrs. Harris, I must say you have too delightful just so. Well, thank you. Such attractive little types, and so articulate. Of course, I feel a bit of an outsider in their conversation. For instance, who is this person they continually refer to as hot shot? Well, I'm afraid that's the nickname they have for their father. By the way, Mrs. Harris, just what does your husband do? Do? Yes, what does his means of employment? Well, he's a musician. He's with Benny. Benny? Benny who? That's Benny. You know, on the radio. Oh, yes, yes. Forgive my ignorance. You see, I seldom listen to the wireless. What do you see, Mr. Harris? Mr. Harris has the office. Hey, Alice, I'm home. Alice. On in. Oh, all right. Mr. Merton, listen, this is my husband. Oh, how do you do that?  What say we pop down steep sides for a bit of off and off, Governor? I beg your pardon? Oh, Phil Harris, this is a fine way for you to come home. Don't stand there, Alice, though. It's far to see you under, Governor. Well, if there's anything I say, Governor, I say, oh, sir, I do believe you're pulling my leg. Apart from that, if you did, I was two feet from you. Well, if you'll excuse me, Mr. Harris, I believe I'll rejoin the children. I don't blame you, Mr. Merton. So long, Governor. Don't take no wooden tuffances. Phil Harris, just what was the purpose of that? What did I do? I didn't say nothing.  Don't take no wooden tuffances. No wooden tuffances. That's a tenth avenue of Englishman, if I ever had one. Well, I'm trying to take it. Ha, ha, ha. Ha, ha, ha. Get one from Dumbledore. Don't worry, I'm doing all right. Look, I really laid it on him, didn't I? What are you beeping about? You told me to be refined, didn't you?  Just because the tutor was my successor. Look, honey, it don't make sense. That's with an English tutor. Why not? Well, let's face it, kid. You'd still be working at your old job if you hadn't slammed your elevator door on Sannick's foot. Ha, ha, ha. Phil Harris, you know I was never an elevator up. All right, all right.  I don't know. So, will you stop being so funny? I only want our children to have the best education we can give them. Besides, it will mean a lot to you, to me. Yes, it'll be kind of nice to have someone to read to you in your old age. It'll be kind of nice right now.  I don't know. Well, after your performance just now, we'll probably never see him again. All right, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Well, I think you are Mr. Merton, an apology. All right, but he's a fella's an Englishman. Well, what about it? What about it? Frankie just told me them guys came over here and burned down the White House. Phil, that was in 1812. Well, then why don't they go home? Is the joint still smoking? Never mind that. I want you to speak to Mr. Merton. All right, I'll talk to the governor. I'll talk to... Mr. Merton. Ah, Luigi, how's the garden coming along? Oh, fine, maestro. Maestro, would Mrs. Harris like some flowers in the house for the company? Company. Ah, no, that's the governor. Oh, no, that's the tutor. Mrs. Harris has him for the children. Oh, yes, you know, maestro, it's a good thing to bring up the talent of the young. I'm never going to forget when Luigi was a little boy, I want to be the great the faith of the world has ever known. Hey, I never knew you want to be an artist. Oh, yes, I was the servant to emulate Michelangelo and Botticelli. Oh, by the way, maestro, do you like Botticelli? Yeah.  Finally, I went to Paris to study art. I rented a charming little studio on the left bank. Oh, maestro, Paris was beautiful. I would sit by the hour in little sidewalk cafes sipping the wine from the provinces. And then at night all the beautiful models would flock to my studio and we would talk of life and love. But Luigi, didn't you do any painting? Maestro, I asked you with a set up like that, would you? But, too, maestro, I cut the side of these little pastimes and I threw myself into my work. For two months, I painted like a fury. I painted like a fiend. I painted like a madman. But nobody would buy my work. Why not? Maestro, they wanted someone who painted like a painter. Excuse everybody, Luigi. Play this thing. Hey, let me have some more of that. Well, how about... Excuse me, I wonder if you would say... Hey, mommy, Mr. Murkin was playing piano for a daddy's birthday. He's really hot. Well, that's fine. By the way, Phil, did you talk to Mr. Murkin? Yeah, to government me with pals. Now, we got it all ironed out, eh, Gabby? Oh, yes, indeed, Mrs. Harris. We had tried to discuss it on music. I compositioned myself at the London Conservatory. And, uh, and Phil discussed music with you? Yes, indeed. I learned a great deal on the subject from Mr. Harris. Now, what could Phil possibly do to you about music?  I'm buying eggs and groin and hammy. And that's what I like about the South. Yes! Ah, then you come and then you're at college. Yeah! You know, folks, first impressions are lasting ones.

I'm not lying to you right now. I really do mean this. I'm not lying to you right now. I really do mean this I'm not lying to you right now. I really do mean this and now the gentleman from California, Mr. Kahana is recognized for five minutes Thank You mr. Chair. Thank you for your leadership. Thank you to ranking member Thompson for his leadership Mr. Duffy you obviously have a very strong opinions about cryptocurrency. So let's start with the basics Could you tell the committee what you understand and how you define blockchain? And can you tell us some of the use cases of cryptocurrency for the American public? Yeah, you know, I had a conversation with somebody in the industry and I believe that the use case of crypto currency You can start with the definition of blockchain. How do you understand the blockchain? The blockchain is is a node Either centralized or decentralized run by different platforms with parts of information that only certain people that have access to it can Change that information and once it's in the blockchain that stays there and in order to amend the information It's a lot of procedures and protocols to go through the blockchain. It's a very complicated procedure I think it's an excellent form of Commerce for medical records things of that nature. So I do think what do you see as some of the use cases? Use cases of blockchain. Yeah, and cryptocurrencies Well, the use I don't know if there's a use case of here The one blockchain that's been talked about today is Ethereum use case for stable coins. Do I think there's a use case? I'm happy to answer your question, but which one you want me answer Stable coins. Yes, or not. You think there's a use case. Do I think there's a use case for stable coins? I think there was until the other day that didn't go so well for stable coins. So I'm not so sure if there's a use case for them I do believe Okay, do you think there's a use case for soul? I think I think the United States government sir needs to be involved in central banks Do you think there's a use case for Solano or some of the other of the top 10 crypto? I'm not a crypto expert sir. I list Bitcoin in I do I have opinions about an application sir not about cryptocurrency now You talk about here under oath you say if I could just quick you because you may want to take this back I don't know I don't take anything back FDX FDX. Well, you're under oath, sir I'm not under oath. I understand FDX has no capital requirements for participants Is that really are you going to stick to that under oath because see the CFTC is part 39? regulation requires capital requirements for FDX or For any of these exchanges. Are you really saying they have zero capital requirements? Or do you want to amend that statement given you know sir? You're moving away from your microphone? I'm at can you read the statement that you'd like me to I'm asking you sir You have a saying so that FDX has quote no capital requirements for participants I I think that's on its face a false statement Given that the CFTC part 39 regulation requires Capital requirements and FDX does have a capital requirement for for margins I said their capital requirements are not the same as they are for other institutions I said what you said sir under oath you have get submitted to this committee a statement that is false You said the regime has no capital requirements for participants I would strongly recommend that you have someone in your team Well, I'd like to read that statement because I happen to disagree with you sir Well, it's your testimony It's you know, I get it. I'd like to see the statement that you are referring to I can't just go of what you're reading Capital is capital is not the same as margin congressman Well, sir, I I want you to after this submit something that is accurate Recognizing you're giving testimony the United States Congress. You don't know much about cryptocurrencies You're opining on cryptocurrencies, and then you're giving false statements to the Congress that you aren't even staying You weren't even knowing that you're submitting you write FDX quote has no capital requirements for participants. That's just false Sir, I'll be happy to read my testimony back to you if you would like But if you want to make this into a court of law, I'm happy to participate in that Well, it's not a court of law. It's that you can't go give false statements to the United States Congress I'm well aware sir. I testified in front of this committee over 50 times. I'm well aware of the procedures this committee Well, then can you I would submit submit that you need to correct the record because you have quote your testimony No capital requirements for participants that anyone who has basic understanding of the CFTC knows that part 39 would make that a Completely wrong statement, of course the capital requirements, and I suggest in the future that you do some homework and what crypto currencies I appreciate you telling me to do my homework. I assure you sir and the amount of years I've been in this business I forgot more than most people ever know Well, I appreciate it I hope you will correct the record so you're accurate and not giving false testimony. I don't give false testimony sir It's not what I do I yield back my comment. I had a meeting with Sam Bankman Fried for the first time in March this past year. I never met the man. He asked to meet with me at a conference and I sat down with them. I said, what is your end goal? He says well, I want to compete with you I said great. I'm all for competition. What do you want to do? He says well, I want to compete with you in crypto. I said, why would you do that? I said, I'll tell I'll give you one better. How about if I give you my crypto franchises worth 30 million dollars? And we'll go from there. He says well, what do you want?  I'll clear it to make sure it's done properly He says well, you won't deploy my model. I said your model is crap Why would I deploy a model that's going to introduce risk to the system? Of course, I'm not going to deploy your model He turned me down flat out turned me down and that's right away. I said to him I said, you know what?   How about a $15 billion donation? I said, you know what? I said my net worth doesn't start with any bees I'll give you three to one that I have more money than you. I said, I'll tell you what I'll give you four to one.  I testified and I have been to Congress 25 years I've never seen a Washington DC like I saw at that time from the regulators to the members of Congress Singing hymns that I never heard before And I got berated in a congressional hearing but I would not back off I said that you could lose 85 to 90% of your value overnight And I said he will not commit to keeping this just a crypto I said the reason is because he wants to deploy it across all asset classes I said that is a biblical disaster a few people allow this to happen Well, I didn't know how right I was going to be in a short period of time So you lost 85% of his FTT tokens and literally one day So the point being is we went through this whole thing and then I worked back with the agency and I said They wanted to approve it for just crypto I said well that would be lovely except that'd be an arbitrary decision to approve a regulatory change for one asset class And they argued with me said no, it's not we have the ability to do it I said well, we're gonna have an argument here because I will sue and So we'll sue the agency over this because we think it's wrong We need and I met with every agricultural producer in this country and I explained to them exactly if their asset class went under This type of model what could happen to their hedges at 11 o'clock on a Saturday night when they're unbeknownst What's going on when they're being auto liquidated and they think their crops are hedged? I said this is the most detrimental thing.  So I'm upset by this But I'm a measured upset. I'm a very measured upset because nobody else was calling BS on these clowns But me my friends at the intercontinental exchange are the only other exchange that said we do not like this as well Everybody else fun to talk about the innovation
