Hello people, I'm Kaleh Erekabosu Rie Tu'i, and I'm from Guala Leonee. That was me thanking you for watching us tonight in my native dialect Yoruba. Welcome to your favorite prime-time television show Waze. It's our season break special as we round off the year and mark our fourth year anniversary. I want to highlight why I love Waze and the impact it has had on me personally on my journey onto TV by answering 10 personal questions about Waze as it fits into my life. Yeah, why do I think Waze exists? Well, in my opinion, Waze exists to educate and address the everyday events as it affects the society around us and at large. So yeah, my personal mission in life is to be a better version of myself at every time and in every season. And of course, yes, Waze definitely aligns with my purpose in life because on this show, I have literally watched myself grow in stature and it has been a very beautiful experience. Waze also avails the constant opportunity for me to learn and develop my mind. I mean, that's something I'm really big on, trust me. My favorite Waze moment, that would be when we had Gloria Olufeko on the show although I wasn't even scheduled to call and call that day but then I watched it from home and I could resonate with it totally. Sometimes I don't even want to be mean, I'm not even like. But yes, so I'm the Internet Control Officer and Client Relationship Manager for Parallax Consulting Limited with also the parent body and the production company that produces this show. So my job cuts across all departments as my role is to ensure that all policies are followed, all members of staff are carrying out their duties and deliverables are being delivered as at when do. Also to manage a good relationship between the company and the clients while also understanding their needs and ensuring their met. I love my job because it makes me improve on interpersonal relationships and a great sense of diplomacy. Trust me, I've had to learn serious diplomacy on my job so I'm really happy. What am I most proud of? Well, I think I'm most proud of myself. I'm most proud of my growth this year. It feels like it's been a really long and eventful year and a lot of growth has taken place in terms of letting go of what no longer serves me pushing through and beyond my limits, taking up new challenges, getting better at conflict resolution, emotional maturity and so on and so forth really. But yeah, I'm very grateful for growth this year. Ah, I'm very scared of failure and I'm very scared of uncertainty. I mean, the truth is that sometimes I think about it and I'm like, what if we go through all of this for nothing? But then again I say to myself, we go for business really. But then it can be really crazy sometimes. But yeah, we pull through all the time and yes, of course, uncertainties also make my already anxious mind race even faster. Well, we are managing. What obstacles have I overcome this year? Okay, I think that that would be a battle against my own mind because having battles against yourself is one major thing that people really overlook these days. And yes, I'm really grateful for it because imposter syndrome is a real thing and now I believe that I deserve all the fine things of life. So if I was to be elected president for a day, it was the number one thing I would do. So as cliche as this sounds, I would love to eradicate poverty in this country so much so that poverty is no longer used as a political tool because poverty being used as a political tool has gotten us nowhere and that's what all these politicians can just say, okay, I mean, because the people are poor, they can't just, you know, do any harm because they give them just small money because people have not been exposed to money before.  So I would eradicate poverty so much so that it is no longer a political tool. All right, so media is a powerful force that influences public opinion, shapes national identity and contributes to the overall development and transformation of a nation. It's role in disseminating information, accountability, fostering cultural understanding and influencing societal norms makes it an essential component of nation's growth and progress, definitely. Well, how do I unwind? Ah, in difference with Shah, but I will mention a few. So I unwind by watching movies.  I love the water so much. I have a love hate relationship with water. Shah, I'm very scared of water. But I love to be by the water side. I love to be on the water. I even love to be in the water. So, of course, I unwind by going to the beach and I love to sit in silence. I love solitude a lot, so it works for me so well. My favorite show this year, I think I said it earlier, I'll say it again, would be when Gloria Olufekor was on the show. She spoke about the impact of communication on successful career and something I could genuinely resonate with. So in case you can't remember, watch this. I'll see you soon. Thanks for staying with us now. Effective professional communication is about conveying important information from one source to another. If that information is communicated clearly and effectively, businesses are most likely to run efficiently. Now, a worker who learns his boss's preferred communication and decision making styles is less likely to make mistakes that hurts his advancement prospects. Managers are also more likely to advocate for workers who ask how to carry out a task properly or present multiple solutions for problems that may arise on the job in a clear and effective manner. Now, we all know that nearly every job posting contains the word strong communication skills or effective communication skills. So today, we're asking what is the proper communication and what impact does it have on career advancement? Now, please, let's hear what you have to say. Remember, you can join the conversation, send us an SMS or WhatsApp to<PHONE_NUMBER>63 or you can also tweet at us at WESHO Africa 1 with the hashtag WESHO. So I'll bring in our guest in a minute but I just want to hear your thoughts because you see, I've seen people that we speak. They don't talk everything they want to talk but you cannot make sense out of it.  There's another thing for you to effectively communicate that whatever it is that you have just said. A lot of times, there's always a mix-up and that's why you see so many people you're not able to assimilate or comprehend what the person, the other party is saying and you always find conflict. People are not able to also communicate effectively what qualities that they carry. You see some people, when they talk you really want to just go with them but some people that are even more skilled better excellent at what it is that they are doing because they are not able to communicate that they are not being promoted they are not being advanced in their careers. So it's just a lopsided kind of thing. Let me hear your thoughts quickly then I'll hear Isidia who will come to the guest. It's very true that those are the things that we see today. There are some people who just what they have to say is in their head. Putting it out there, putting it in words is a completely I was having a conversation with a colleague of mine and he was trying to imply we were saying the same thing but we were using the same phrase but it was very obvious we meant it in different ways. He says life is give and take and I say and he was talking about giving giving out either money, financial or help or something and I said my ideology of life is an open hand would never lack and he said life is give and take I said it seems like we're saying the same thing but we're not I'm saying this is how I live my life so I live given not to expect you live given to expect and because you have expectations you would always be let down I give and it comes because I do not have and he kept saying but you're saying the same thing we might be using the same phrase but we mean it in two different ways so that is part of it and we had this argument for almost 30 minutes and I just said do you know what I call it a truce and we get back to work but yes it's one thing to communicate and it's another thing to communicate effectively how the other person will be able to understand and be able to respond appropriately. Let me hear your thoughts AC Yes I totally agree with what Angie says but there's also something that also there's something I also know that we should also take into cognizance which is the same that says that the type of adjectives you use makes me understand the kind of person you are so if you have to communicate effectively using the right adjectives also we should also like use the words you want to the precise words you want to use to express your point of view which was the problem NJ and her peer had to also look at the phrase which you had which was communication works for those who work at it if you do not work at it, if you do not go the extra mile to think about the message you want to pass across think about who you are passing that message across to and then you now sit down and construct what is that message you want to send to the recipient then there is a challenge that is where there is miscommunication and that is where you don't have a concise and clear communication what's it called a clear and concise communication expressed immediately right there and then so we have to also take all of these into cognizance because communication is about purpose message and recipient absolutely so let me bring in our guest Gloria Ulufeco also known as Dr. Glow is an international event host an award-winning radio presenter diction coach, voice over artist and communications specialist as a West Africa broadcast media academy certified MC and compare Gloria has hosted myriad of events in Nigeria and other African countries now she is currently the head of media and communications at luminous heels investment limited one of Nigeria's pace-setting provider of real estate solution she is also the founder of TGO media which is a media and brand communications firm that caters to media coverage and hosting services for events and she is graced our studio looking all radiant and yellow hi Gloria hello hello Angie thank you let us all get that out of the way Mary Brang how are you I'm very well how are you too I mean so this conversation I think because again we are we are we're in really tough times right now and every single thing you do with either make you or marry you especially career wise and growth right so it's important that we begin to touch on some things that we do recklessly or some things that we do not pay attention to that can actually change the trajectory so I remember going on Instagram and I saw a write-up in fact I even said I screen grabbed that write-up I said I think it's high time for you to sit down look at this structure of how this person has communicated what they do and go back and replicate that for your brand you do a lot but you're not able to put those pieces together like I'm far far better from where I started but I'm still not where I want to be because when I see some people write up and they would just write all the this thing this person is writing I do much more than this but how come I'm not able to communicate it right because again it doesn't just stop at career in terms of like a work environment career even as an entrepreneur career even as a brand right if you're not able to properly communicate what it is that you do to your audience you are likely not going to grow the difference between people like you see all those brand influencers celebrities and all of that go and check they have gotten their communication excellently well they are able to tell past the message clearly so you do not mix you do not mix any you don't have any mixed feelings about who they are you know what they are about and that's why you see that their growth trajectory instead of the ones that are today they are confused where are you so I mean just help us out here because when we talk about proper communication what does it mean is it about speaking right or what exactly is proper communication and how can it advance one's career oh great question and it's such an amazing to be here thank you so much for inviting me proper communication is you letting somebody know what your intent is and they get it so it's a place of you not miscommunicating so proper communication what's your intent what you have to say and do they get what you have to say a lot of people just let people in on what they have to say this is what I'm all about but they do not wait does this person understand what I have to say what's the feedback and I loved what you touched on you talked about celebrities influencers how that many people know what these people stand for they are able to communicate their brand in such a way that people already know that this is what they stand for this is what they do so how can you communicate your brand as a person and then people are able to receive you and they understand what you're doing it's proper communication so from your intent to your passing the message and then the person at your receiving end understands clearly that is what you're saying and let's come home to career I mean when I started out as event hosting diction coach a lot of people were like Gloria are you doing everything how do we understand what you're doing what you stand for how do we understand that oh Gloria is an event host oh Gloria is a diction coach but what I was able to do was I was able to intertwine everything to media so I host events I teach you how to sound right I'm still communicating hosting events I'm helping brands communicate their message sounding right I'm helping you as a person communicate properly so people were able to get that way that ok Gloria is into the media so as a human being as a brand how well are you able to let people in on what you're doing and they get it to anybody watching me right now at home and you're wondering that how do I even allow people know or get people to understand that this is what I do first off be very clear know yourself what you're doing be very spot on carve your niche let them know that Uwa is she's a TV presenter NJ is a TV presenter so when you see Uwa some day probably at an engineering workshop fixing a car you're asking yourself Uwa when did you start fixing the car do you dick so let people you yourself you need to be very clear about what you're doing because when sometimes when you're not clear about what you're doing it's difficult to communicate to people what you're doing so you need to first of all internalize what you're doing carve a niche for yourself let people register in people's minds that this is what you're doing I think that's the very first step to take as we're going out share more steps absolutely okay that's great so when it comes to communication I feel like communication in the workplace helps you a lot because it gives you it creates that confidence because I've realized a lot of people when you lack that communication skill most times they're a bit more timid you know you want to lack behind you don't want to be the one to you're not up for giving suggestions or talking in public environments you're very timid what do you have to say oh nothing nothing I'm okay I'm okay but when you're an effective communicator you you have that confidence and people tend to even with the confidence comes trust you see some people and they're saying a lot of rubbish you can you're looking at them you're wondering but other people are nodding like and you're wondering it's the confidence it's the confidence that they're you need to spew nonsense and you're looking at and you're wondering what is this person saying but because of the way they're speaking people are nodding and say wow even if she's saying rubbish that rubbish makes sense but so it's part of it you know it creates some level of trust and if I can speak freely within the work environment it helps for a lot of things it helps with teamwork it helps you be able to collaborate with your team and it goes far like there are a lot of benefits to it when you say within the workplace and everything like for me when I go to certain environments because you have the look because you have the you can communicate effectively most of the time I'm pushed to the front and say oh NJO no do this so I'll push a question to you but we'll do that after the break from what she said right how do people that are like in work environments that are team-made how do they start to build that confidence we'll do that but let's go on a quick break we'll be right back alright thanks for staying with us and so you have the conversation and its impact on career advancement with Gloria Ulufeko remember you can join the conversation send us an SMS you can also tweet at the hashtag alright so Gloria based on what NJO talked about confidence because I know that again if you're knowledgeable and you're able to communicate effectively it gives you this kind of courage that you're always you're not you can always hold your ground in board rooms anywhere you find yourself especially in the workspace so when someone is dealing with that timidity or whatever how do they even start what's the process okay I mean great question I've been asked this question quite a number of times Gloria I'm shy how do I start most especially for event hosts but let's bring it home we're talking about career development here I have colleagues that are shy and they really scared to voice out their displeasure probably they had a bra with the boss or with their colleague and they're like I don't even know how to approach my boss to tell them I'm not pleased with this so what I would say is first start small start small with communicating proper communicating with your colleagues how do you share your thoughts with your colleagues I know we might want to say oh you want to talk to your boss it's my boss I'm having issues with but first off how do you communicate to your displeasure to your colleagues oh your colleague comes late to work and you're not happy about it how do you let them in on it okay so I'm not happy you came late to work you shouldn't be coming late to work don't you think you should do this do this better so when you're able to start small that way communicate with your colleagues then you can grow into communicating with your boss and I'm sure that in every company there's hierarchy where you have the CEO then your line manager exactly your director so before you jump the level of going to the CEO how well do you communicate with your line manager how well do you communicate with the HR now that's a lot of people make that mistake they don't have a personal communication with the HR it's very important looking at we were talking career right and that's why I'm making mention of the HR HR is most companies they do a lot of work in getting proper HR department because you feel like that's that's one of the strongest departments of any company that will thrive so how do you as an individual communicate you have a relationship with your human resource manager it's very important because many at times you find out that shy people will rather talk to the HR and then the HR does the talking to the boss okay so ensure that you have and you build a personal relationship with your human resource manager start small that way you begin to find your voice absolutely I like where you're going with the conversation because HR is quite important and very for any organization to thrive because if you have the wrong recruit as an HR manager it's very likely that the companies will just go down and again when you talk about career advancement those are the people that will then sit down to say okay I think this person is due for a promotion this person has displayed some level of growth and all of that so it's quite important what you mean? Well I was about even adding that when you are shy and your HR understands that you are a shy person you can't speak for yourself you mentioned just now that your HR would be the one to put a word for you during promotion process that oh don't you think that we should take a look at this person's work because you have built a relationship with your HR so even if your colleagues do not see a reason your HR sees a reason for you to get that promotion you're doing so well you're not vocal you're not out there you're not outspoken but you're getting the work done as long as you're diligent at your work so your HR is able to put a word for you before you see you and then you get what you're looking for. Alright Easty you have a question for our guest? Yes, totally I do Hi Gloria. Hello. My question is let's talk about innovation in the workplace and communication skills. How important is this was the influence of communication skills to an effective innovation space in the workplace? Alright Easty I mean when I understand what you mean by innovation is you have ideas you have new ideas to share and you want to communicate it okay so I'm sure that we have teams every workplace has a team and so as you go on in your journey in your career you'll definitely be put into teams as a matter of fact I'm very sure that once you are trying to get the job your interview process the question that we'll ask you is can you work in a team? Do you know how to handle team work? Are you a team player? And then a lot of us say yes yes yes we are team players okay but then again when it comes to you acting out that you're actually as a team player it begs the question that you have an you know you have an idea to share you have something to share can you share with your team first let them believe in what you have then when it is done you cannot put it out there so you have an idea to share work you have something then another thing is approaching your boss many of times we have such brilliant ideas okay let me give you an example so I work for a real estate company and I think about two days ago the HR was trying to we're trying to employ a video guy to work with us in the media department and we had lots and loads of entries, applications and then I just thought about it that okay why can't the HR just start the application process now instead of waiting for the window period of applications where labs were starting and how did I go about communicating my thoughts and my ideas to the HR I simply walked up to him I knocked his door hello sir I think that it's better we start you start the interview process now instead of waiting till the entire window period elapses why so that you're able to thoroughly do a proper interview for everybody and you don't have quite a number of persons you know the way interview processes can be in Nigeria where you have a lot of people standing outside for interviews but if you do it in batches I think it's going to help us get the best and that's amazing Gloria thank you very much for that I'll look into it okay so you being able to communicate first up with your team and then you can also your HR is I'm very big on HR I don't know how many companies actually use HR a lot but guess what so I have a consultant HR for my company and she's been doing an amazing job right it's a tough place to be because I see that she's the one that takes on all the burden all the complaints but you see that once you're able to put in that structure and if you have the right person like I said HR has to be unbiased HR has to be someone that has excellent impeccable communication skills because you are the one that will be able to listen in on grievances and complaints and you want to also communicate that to the superior authorities so it's a lot of things that you need to because you are managing the people within the organization so if it is gotten wrong trust me it's not going to work but I was just going to ask that there are people in organizations that have made it a point of duty that they would not see you grow right they are oppressive you know in their style they are you know they are not those kind of people that are like team players they would rather want to be the one that to be seen that I am the one doing the job right so if you are in that kind of an environment you know what do you advise how would you communicate that fear you know and if you are not able to communicate that fear is it advice that you just probably tender in your resignation and lead the organization or how do you manage those kind of things because if you have those kind of people in your team it's very likely that you might never grow in that company so how do you go about that well that's a big question because I mean I have had my own fair share of that really where you are doing all the work but then when it comes to presentation time we bring stumps together everybody brought their A's their B's their C's and I did the work I did the research and when it's time to present you tell me you want to go for the presentation because you are going to be the one to get the well done at the end of the of the entire presentation okay how do you handle such first off you have to be very wise because God help you the person that is going to do the presentation that wants to be at the forefront is your boss because many a times it's easier when it's your colleague you can easily walk up to your colleague and say come please I don't understand we did this thing together how is it that you want to take the shine for the entire team okay it's easier that way but when it comes to your boss what I would say this might not go down with everybody but what I would say is first off just allow them first off allow them to take the shine allow them to do what they want to do allow them to show that they are the ones taking the glory for whatever work it is you've done and then later on you can't walk up to the HR again or wherever it is that you saw B2 you have a line manager let them know that we actually do the work together and that's why I'm very big on you being able to communicate in your workplace if you've established the foundation of communication where everybody is open to talk to each other where everybody is not afraid of being shut down or you create such and that's why I'm always big on telling employers to ensure that they create an environment where the employees are free to talk, access you are able to let me in on what you're going through it helps you thrive and it helps you develop in your career now imagine the situation where you are shut down when you want to speak nobody's listening to you because I would just send them a resignation and go and I'm not even going to bat an eyelid about that but when there's already an environment where everybody can speak where everybody is free to let their thoughts out it's easy for you to walk up to your line manager or to your boss and let them in and tell them that we actually did this work together and so if this person continues to take shine for what I have done I might as well just concrete and go and if it's a very good organization your manager should be able to do something about it let's take that comment this comment is from Austin from Delta the essence of communication can't be overemphasized no matter the career communication is key because without effective communication dealing with a stubborn customer might boomerang even in religious circles any pastor who communicates poorly in this 21st century will be put off his educated and enlightened will put off his educated and enlightened audience no matter the anointing hence such pastor should go and acquire some communication skills come to the corporate world that is why public affairs officers are engaged to speak on behalf of the company because they are well schooled in that field do you know that using award inappropriately can cost a company to pay huge money huge money level front desk officers image makers must continually go for orientation you are welcome back what do you say I like what he is saying because you see you are the image of the company if I feel like in the security guard everyone in the organization should be able to communicate properly at every point in time because you see there is a language we have been talking about what comes out of your mouth there is a non-verbal communication that was even going to come to how are we how are we presenting ourselves non-verbally that is communicating a very wrong image of who we are supposed to be and it is not making us grow people will say people believe you more by what you have not said than by what you have said because what you say sometimes as a lot of people say don't do as I say but do as I do do as I say but then again what you don't do is even more important than what you have done because in whatever it is one person said trust me there are statements behind so how do you ensure that you are not misunderstood when you speak because I have gotten a lot of messages Gloria a lot of times it is not what I intended saying and the issue is people always expect that you are supposed to understand how I feel you are supposed to understand that this is what I am trying to say but how do you expect me to know that this is what you are trying to say if you do not let me know that this is what you are trying to say and your body language is not even helping it matters so for example you are telling me you are angry and then are you seeing people angry and smiling at the same time yes they are they are angry at you but they are smiling and that's why you hear this one that you are smiling at me I know you are angry please can you just let me know exactly what it is you are thinking in your heart so when you speak be very careful of your body language your eye movement your hand gesticulations how you respond do you nod your head do you smile do you be very careful of your body language because it is nonverbal communication there is verbal communication just what NJ is doing to you right now so there is verbal communication nonverbal communication which we have underneath the gesticulation body movement and all of that and then the written communication that we use in our place of work emails text messages and all of that so what you do not say is sometimes important than what you said so be very careful because so you wouldn't be misunderstood let me come to you Easty actually I was going to talk about verbal and nonverbal communication earlier when I said I wanted to ask a question however there is also another question I want to ask which has to do with being a diction coach what has been your experience trying to interact with individuals who are seeking to boost their career or enhance the growth of their career basically in an organization what has been your greatest challenge having to interact with them and what is the right language to use in an office basically okay been a diction coach I love the fact that Easty touched on that because it is quite an interesting part of what I do helping individuals and businesses communicate properly when it comes to diction I mean when you are in a corporate environment you are supposed to speak formally but we know we are still having that discrepancy between using Sir in Nigerian business environment because the white people do know you Sir they call their bosses by their first names but in a Nigerian formal environment people still cringe a little bit when you call your boss by your first name we have some companies that actually allow you to call your boss by your first name but then it gets to a point where you have to put the Oga or Oga Dis Oga that Sir, Ma but the white people do not really take that quite seriously so I just let people know that whatever it is you are doing ensure that you are not disrespectful insubordination is not tolerated so work be very formal as possible whatever it is that you are doing speak appropriately when you are in the office when you say appropriate speaking in the office sorry to caught you short the use of our native language like our native dialect in an office environment is that even proper even though we say that okay yes we are Nigerians and all of that given that in a proper organization there are different tribes different tongues there is it right for you to speak in your native language when isn't that rude when somebody else is by your side and the person cannot even understand what it is that you are saying of course it's rude so why do we do that well I feel like we just need to keep on see that it's from a pain point who has really pained about this issue I understand I've been in an office environment where I walked in and we were having a meeting and the meeting started and it started in Europe and I'm like do you understand am I supposed to be part of this me and somewhere in between my boss actually looked at me and said oh NJ so what do you have to say and I'm like I wasn't listening because you didn't understand the language no it's not whether I understand the language or not that was not the language for this meeting so even if I tell I used to tell them in my office I switch off and on so I'm not Europe I'm evil so you can't start a meeting speaking Europe and you expect me to just have something to say in between I don't speak Europe so at that point in time my dictionary you're not even only meetings you have your colleagues together you're in your room you're the only one whose dialect is different they're trying to communicate something between themselves and then they just switch their dialect and you're looking and you're wondering that can you please at least speak English let's respect the fact that people do not know that they are subtly planting tribalism that way it's just a subtle planting you really do not know because people begin to say oh we are Europe oh we are evil and then they're causing a division at work okay so English is what's proper for business environment so please let's just speak English easy one quick one please what about the use of email in an office environment basically we use emails to interact basically to individuals or our bosses or our peers what's the right tone or tonality that we're supposed to invite in an office environment only using an email is it okay for us to express our displeasure especially when we are upset with a peer in an email wow emails, emailing is another aspect of communication for businesses because when you're trying to express your displeasure in an email in as much as you're angry you have to turn it down a little bit because an email is a formal document and it's also illegal document it can be used against you and that's why you need to be very careful while you're trying to express your displeasure in an email I just feel like why send email to a colleague when you can just call the person there are some colleagues that you have to document it I agree but then they told me this thing that my emails comes across as harsh so I have learnt to stick to the issue not put any emotion in the email but detail the issue, do you understand it's very important because again we're in an environment where people can deny that there was no conversation especially if it is a colleague that you're trying so hard to correct something that has been repeatedly done wrongly if the person just make sure you stick to the issue detail it point by point write it without emotions you'll be fine but I strongly believe to always email things for evidence actually with a stubborn colleague I want to help you, you've had a conversation before and the person is not listening, you'll see me deeming absolutely thank you so much, good we have to bring you back we had an amazing time, thank you thank you now before we go and show you follow us across all social media handles that way so Africa you can interact with us further we had a fantastic conversation keep liking, sharing and commenting invite your friends and friends to also watch and follow the

I'm Rick and this is Rick I think follow us on Instagram Twitter for a juicy content. Thank you for some patreon fellas, Twitter camera It's so today we're acting to a trailer. It's a Tamil train sweet trailer of a Tamil movie. I Yes, they said they don't know if it's a fish trailer. I don't know if it's an Opsis. It's called Varanam Aram, is it an older film because they don't know if it's official probably Say how would you pronounce that close enough? Varanam, Aram Here we go. It's a very passionate Christy Real man No way that's the official trailer, you know No way that's the official trailer Because it was all over the place. I'm guessing I think the gist of it I'll look up the synopsis here, but is that it's like a love story. I'm guessing I'm guessing That's that's what I could get out of it I don't know much else. So this is going to be one. I will and then we'll look at uh, The synopsis and stuff, but there's going to be one that you're gonna have to tell us This is this is great that trailer didn't do any justice. It's happened before that we've had like we're not going to judge it Just all that don't judge a movie by its trailer But but you're going to really need to say a lot of good stuff because that wasn't very good Yeah, that wasn't definitely not in the top 10 best trailers we've ever seen No, I would not put it there A father and son help each other through growing up romance tragedy and adventure. Okay, so it's a father's son story Okay, uh, you have a father so you can relate. Uh, I do not And I have a son Nah, I have that so I'm just kidding. I have a father Everybody, you know, you all everybody in some way should perform had one or has one Hey, I have they've yet to come up with a human that could be born without A sperm in an egg. Yes. So well, mark Zuckerberg comes close Um, the director is Gutham Like Gutham Menon. Yeah Gutham Menon Uh, let's see if we If I have a feeling that I think I'm right about this Assumption. Hmm. The trailer showed audio was being dubbed. I guarantee the film audio was dubbed Hmm. It's possible. It came out Well, it's two 2008 2008. It's possible. It's more than likely yet.  Uh, and if it's if it's really really good, let us know if it's Dubbed and not dubbed well Please let us know because that will especially affect how rick watches the film It will So, um, but once again, it's happened before where the trailer's been terrible and you guys said no, it's amazing And so we watch and you're like, oh, yeah, there have been trailers We saw that were great and we saw the film and we're disappointed. So we will never It's like judging a book by its cover folks. Don't do it But, uh, let us know what other Tamil trailers and films we should watch Uh, down below, uh, and uh, upload them always upvote So I can see if I see and something has like 200 upvotes. I'm like, okay, clearly people want to see us react to it. There you go. And if It has no upvotes, then clearly people don't want us to shoot. I'm clearly gonna watch that one first, right? Like I don't think we've had any upvotes for Bahubali too. No, none whatsoever. Nobody ever wants us watching. Yeah So if you do upload it, but I haven't seen it yet. So Do not cut


Another important topic is credentialing issues. This is very important that to whom we are going to give credit for the training and expertise and to whom we are not and what type of the credentials we are going to assign to the different people. Credentials exist as a tangible indicator of accomplishment given in a certain field with a purpose to the mayor, the competence of the holder. So, its different levels can be different in psychology. There are at least three levels of credentials which are being distinguished by their intrinsic characteristics and the data on which they are being awarded. So, we are going to see one by one what they are. First of all, we are going to talk about primarily credentials. So, primarily credentials are those who are earned over time by direct contact with trained instructor like one-to-one interaction with whom these credentials are given. Like someone who is a mid-carrier person in psychology and who is taking training from a very high-profile instructor and when his training is complete he will be going to give a credential certificate which would be called primarily credential certificate. They are based on longitudinal samples of the practitioner's behavior. It is not just one or two days of training. After a very long time of practice, it is decided that one individual will be given this credential and with person-to-person supervision and direct observation by senior colleagues. For example, in the back institute of repression the trainees go from different countries of the world and after taking a long-term training and therapy they are certified. So, they have a primary credential which comes with it. For example, coursework, graduating training programs or internship can be affiliated with any institution, it can be affiliated with any international center and the outcome may result in the form of any transcript like a result card, a post-doc degree, a transcript and a certificate of completion. Apart from this, different foreign supervisors' laboratory letters can also be included in this. Then comes secondary credentials. Secondary credentials not only use primarily credentials as prerequisite but also incorporate other elements in determining qualification. So, your primary thing will be with you but a secondary which will be associated with it will distinguish it from the primary source. Secondary credentials include the licensing and certifications as well as recognition by a reputable specialized certifications board. Like a primary certificate complete, you get more advanced certificates and different international bodies are authorized for their licensing and credentials. So, after your primary, you get a secondary level of credentials. Then tertiary credentials. So, after talking about the primary and secondary credentials, the third one are tertiary credentials and they are based solely on the evidence that both the primary and secondary credentials have been obtained. In a sense, this simply attests to the fact that the professional who is going to hold a primary and secondary credential, he would be the only one who is going to get the tertiary credentials. Membership in certain professional organizations such as APA divisions in Pakistan, we can talk about PPA specifically, then we talk about PAC specifically, then state or local professional associations are listing in national register of health services providers in psychology. It can also include many other international organizations such as ICP International Council for Psychologists and British Council for Psychologists or many others. So, we clearly understand that to be a part of them, it is very important that first you have a primary degree in psychology, psychotherapy and you are practicing in it and you have included that primary certificate. Then you have a supervised training and you have a secondary certificate and after that you would be eligible that you are having all those competent degrees, all those competent license and certificates that you are eligible enough to get recognition by these international bodies by becoming their affiliate member, by becoming their life members and so on and so forth. So, this is how all three type of credentials are being discussed in ethical practice.


All right, welcome back, soccer traders. Happy Friday, everybody. What day? Today's the 12th. You know what this weekend is? Spring ahead. So, guys, don't forget, you got to set up your clocks. But good to see you all. Welcome back. Great day yesterday. Mark did unbelievable. Nasdaq stocks did unbelievable. Nasdaq outperformed. More than I expected. Getting a little bit of a correction so far this morning, which is totally healthy. But you know what? My swing trades did great. I'm glad I averaged down. Bought back early in the week. I think there's still some good buys there, but you can still see that there's some great opportunities out there. So, anyway, welcome back, everybody. And my name is Fausto, for some of you don't know.  Welcome, everyone. We're going to go over a couple of stocks that we traded yesterday. Yesterday, I just want to just point out there was one stock. I just want to just kind of show you something that was really, really cool. That was just unbelievable. Want to bring up the stock TNBR. Okay. I'm going to change this slide and this chart right here. I'm just going to zoom out right here. Okay. So, just really quick. Who actually here in the cyber group room traded this stock yesterday? Did anybody get this stock yesterday? TNBR? Great. All right. You got it. Okay. Jeff, you got it. All right. I don't know if anybody here on YouTube, Facebook Live got it. Let me just change the slide here so you guys can see a little better. There you go.  And let me just take this off so you can hide soon so you can see the pics. The watch list. So anyway, yeah, this stock was just like, I don't know what happened, but right around here, around 230, this stock just made a huge run. It had a big run around 12 o'clock. And you can see it ran from 220 up to about 290. And then it did all this nasty shakes, give or take what usually does. And then we have that 230 move. Right around here it is 230 and let me zoom in a little bit bigger here so you can see a little bit better. So right around here around the 230 it had a big pop. Right at three o'clock, there was a 660,000 share seller out there. I haven't seen, listen, we see 200, we see 300, we see algorithms, you know, that pretty standard. But to see 660,000 it was like almost like 5,000 times more than the average order out there. And I'm sitting there, I'm like, this guy's going to get done. And I'm sitting there, and it kept getting closer and closer and closer and closer and closer. And then bam, it took the guy out at $3. The thing just went from 3 to 350. I load up, I bought several thousand shares of it and I got out, I sold it right at 440. It did go to 470, you know. But like it was doing this shake right here. I'm like, all right, listen, I had way too many shares of it and I got out of it.  I mean, when you're or a new student, the platinum students, the gold students, you know what I'm talking about. When we talk about following the money, you know, when you see something like that, you know it's a major resistance levels. But then all of a sudden, you see that guy get executed and it's like, because you know what, that could happen. That could literally happen and it was just a unbelievable, almost like, I hate to use the word guarantee, but it was like almost a guarantee was going to go up. All right. I think the probability on that stock was like, almost like 95% that was going higher when you had that big of an iceberg were to get done. So listen, the beauty about being here in the trading room is that we show you everything we're doing. You see that on level four, you see that on our level three and the great thing is that it's going to happen again. There's a lot of big stocks that do move and you know, don't worry about it. Don't cry with spilled milk. There's a few of them out there that move. And there's a couple of the stocks that did move pretty well too yesterday too. ENG, another one. This thing ran from like 480 all the way up to about $7. And then all of a sudden it kind of died. Shocking middle day mover, which is very rare that we find, but that one, I mean, that was just unbelievable. Here's another one, LIZI. This stock literally started this morning right around what, eight and went all the way to 11. And it had that, it was cool about this one. This one did have, you know, that 330 move right there right that last 30 minutes. And it did go from like 10 to 1050. Nice move and obviously it just popped another 50 cents right into the close. And there were a couple of other ones. I mean, RXL, another one that was just, you know, just incredible. That thing just was gorgeous right here at the open. You could see it right here. It just ran from like 1560 and about an hour and a half, the thing ended up being up over at 1870. So yesterday was a really good day. And sure enough, I can't forget about that one too. Can, right? Thanks for telling me that, Michael. Can was another huge winner yesterday. Just out of nowhere. Look at that. 330, actually, this thing made a big move. The last 15 minutes of the close, the thing ran from 34 to 60, shot up to 3650.  And look at that gorgeous trend. It almost looked like a ski slope. And remember that it only gets more volatile as you get closer to the close. Because people have orders to fill. They fill them. So, you know what? I'm not expecting that to happen in daylight today, because we know Mondays and Fridays are not the best days to trade. Weekend, not too many earnings announcements. Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays, guys, you got to make a commitment. You know, if you're, is there any day that you want to be around in the trading room? You got to be in those days. So anyway, not to pour squeeze lemon on an open wound, because you know that burns, right? But listen, this is the whole purpose of doing this is just kind of explain to you, you know, what was moving yesterday, had everything go, and what we're looking at, because like, I just did an event yesterday. I mean, I did an event on Tuesday with Tom Sosno from Tasty Works, down to a thinkors swim.  I did, we did another huge event yesterday with two other partners that we had.  I mean, they're very good at what they do, how to make money being a professional athlete, but they end up blowing it because people just take advantage of them. And I always love going in front of them because, you know, over 70% of them lose all their money. It's like almost sitting in a lotto, but they understand finance, that's what helps them get better. So anyway, let's go look around, let's see what happened for this morning. There were a couple of good stocks that are moving this morning. Rich is just right now putting in the cyber group room. He says, I'm moving and just made it making a huge pop. You know what? It's so funny you brought that up because RIDE, I had it on my shortlist. And you know what? Look on your shortlist. There's a lot of them out there. And you know, I'm going to bring up what else I have right here. I just want to bring this up over here. Where am I? Right. So I want to bring this up. One of the big things I was talking about in those, those events is, you're looking and having a seat on the exchange. And you could see like there's that big order right there, $1,000. And you know what? They were there earlier and they were getting executed. So when I slip over here, this stock has just been a great short this morning. You could see it just phenomenal from $830, $17, all the way down to $14. It's keep making lower lows. I mean, nice low short. Thanks for sharing that. But, and you know what? The market's not even open. That's the other great part. Great thing about it. A couple of the stocks that also move pretty well this morning when you keep an eye on the open. NLSP did great at 8 o'clock this morning. It ran from 250 up to 650. I mean, that's like unheard of. Right? In a matter of what? 15 minutes. That's why we started at 8 o'clock in the morning. The group, you know, and I always tell everyone, you got early bird gets the money. You know, you heard about early bird gets the worm. Our motto is early bird gets the money over here. That one also very, very nice stock. A couple other ones also just starting to move up. METX, another one we found this morning that had, it just popped right at 8 o'clock in the morning. You could see right here how it just kind of had that big pop right here and then all of a sudden, boom, thing had a spike, but it was just holding pretty steady here for a little bit and now she's starting to trend up a little bit. Good spread. You know, let's see how she opens up. The stock was a $25 stock last year. She's got a, been trending down for a while all the way up until July. There's like one of the first days up. The stock's been holding here. As a swing trader, I just want you to understand that this stock has a big support level right around here. She just started to make some moves. So being a good swing trader, you got to learn how to day trade first. Always remember that. So as you know, she can also be jumped on the day trading list. Now I know everyone's all talking about what's going on with game stock, right? So is this like ridiculous?  This thing is going back up. This thing is going, I don't know why, you know, in a way of, because you have to understand something. Game stock is not worth $275. It wasn't worth $100. Okay. But as a professional trader, you know, as a day trader, I don't care. I don't care. I'm just following the money. And you know what? They're doing great. So, and all of them are doing, K-O-S-S. I made a lot of money on that two days ago. Express. They're all moving. The only ones that are moving is AMC. That's the only one that's not making a move. Kids just want to have fun leader, right? And you know what? When I was talking to, for some of you that were here for that interview with Tom Sastoff on Tuesday, and if you missed it, it's on our YouTube channel. Definitely subscribe us. Like us, friend us. Watch us. It's pretty cool. But I was bringing up talking about the kids a lot of this money that's coming to stimulus money to be giving. They said, hey, these people are going to put in the stock market.  I mean, mutual funds were getting so much cash, and they didn't want to buy these companies because their P-E ratios, they were like ridiculous. They're like, they're not even worth it. But it's all supplying demand. It's all supplying demand. Remember the, what was the famous thing in the stock market? The tulip, I forgot what it's called, the tulip, topia, tulip, topia, something like that. From the tulips, back in the old days, we're going for like, I don't know, hundreds of dollars for a bold, you know, because they're basically, I gotta forget that picture. It's a really cool picture. But listen, it's all about supplying demand. Beanie babies, very beanie babies, you're going to pay two, two, three hundred to popias. That was cool, Glenn. I thought it was one of those things. But listen, that's why people love the stock market. It's a lot, it's a lot safer.  So anyway, that one, those stocks are moving pretty well. Let's go a couple of other stocks.  They were on my A list and now they jumped on my B list. CFRX, they were doing pretty well this morning.  This one, oh, she's just starting to making the move right here. The CFRX stock has been really well, and that one, ENTX, another one up about 53%. She's got some major resistance levels right here. Right around 650, I see, it's got a tough, it's got a big iceberg order. It's having a tough time breaking that one. We'll keep an eye on that one. GIGM, great little short. Stock is huge. Stock was up at 7. She's starting to trend down. I don't like shorting these stocks when they're up that big, but you know, this is trending down. So, I don't know, we'll see. It's starting to be like a ladder down. I'm going to probably even scratch this and put it on the C list. S-E-E-L, seal, another stock that did really well right first thing this morning at 7 a.m., but then after 8 o'clock, she kind of like flat lines. So, good spread. Stock is up 31%. Let's see how she opens up, you know, and see how that goes. And they got two more. TRCH, 2% Stock has been doing pretty well on the long-term trade and A-V-E-O. These old stocks just came up by watch list. Now, if you look at some of these stocks, they're not like crazy, they're not great. You know what I mean? Yesterday, those were great, but you always find new ones that come up. So, listen, so far, I give it a 50-50 day, totally normal. Last week, last Friday, I'm looking at a calendar because I write down all my trades as in, like, how much I made. Last week, I was flat, okay. I was actually only down five bucks, actually. Believe it or not, like, wait a minute, just look at that. Is that even possible? It's like, you know, it's like the Dow closes at, like, five points. So, we'll see how it goes today. So, if we see something, say something.  It's kind of flat. She kind of, like, spiked it and she stopped. I'll put it on my B-list, okay. But I'll take that, I'll take that shot. Omar, we already talked about those stocks. The only way I didn't bring up was the IT RM, which is kind of, like, flat, not really doing too much. US Steel. It's been, it's been doing well. Anyway, I want to bring this one up. Fox News. All right. Fox News is obviously doing pretty well. Look at this thing. I would be, I would keep a close eye on the swing trade because she started to be a gap fill right here. Look at that right there.  Obviously, we talked about this stock about two weeks ago. I don't know if anyone jumped into it, but it's building a nice little phallus of flag and it's starting to do a gap fill right here. So, it looks like that, you know, it's going to do well right there on that stock. Ride. Look at that. It's still going lower. All right, everybody, let's get ready for the open. Listen, Josh is out today on vacation. So, you're going to have me and you're going to have Rich running the room this morning. We'll see you back in the afternoon. So, if you, if anybody here wants to come and join us, if you're watching our, watching our show, just click us, like us, friend us, do a trial for not, do it before, follow the damn money. The ride's been looking like a really nice short so far. If it breaks this support, this thing could really fall out. It could probably drop only down to 12, which would be pretty cool. All right, good luck, everyone. Be safe. And if I don't see you, we'll see you back here on Monday. We'll be back here at 2.30 for the afternoon meeting and don't forget to turn back your clocks. Good luck, everyone. Happy trading.


I didn't expect this audience today, and thank you. Well, thank you, thank you. And, well, I didn't prepare myself to give this talk in English, or I don't know if you prefer I do it in Spanish, or if you will understand it in Spanish. Okay, well, I will try to do it in English just for yourself, and my wife over here. And, well, my name is José Dábila, José Ernesto Dábila, and I've been collaborating with the Ubuntu project for about five years, and we started the Ubuntu local team in Nicaragua here, and one of the first members of the local team. And I have been collaborating in packaging with Ubuntu for about one and a half year, and I found myself in the need to submit some fixes and bug fixes to Debian, and that's why I'm giving this talk today. Okay, I have a quote from Mark Shuddleworth, the founder of the Ubuntu project and a Debian developer, and he said once that every Debian developer is an Ubuntu developer because the best way to improve Ubuntu or collaborate with Ubuntu is to collaborate with Debian. And I have read a couple of blog spots from some Debian developers, and one of them is Rafael Herzog, and who have joined the Ubuntu community, even though he expresses himself that all the technical improvements he does will be to Debian, and he was accepted as an Ubuntu developer, and everything is going fine, and he has a very nice blog spot where he explains what he did. Well, the content of my talk is about three subjects, and one of them is the relationship between Ubuntu and Debian, and then how can you collaborate with Debian from Ubuntu, and then we have some time for questions. Okay, so let's see how is the relationship within Ubuntu and Debian. Well, Debian is the rocks where Ubuntu sits, and Debian is a rock-solid operating system, and there are a lot of contributors that are volunteers, they don't receive a salary, they don't have a payment for collaborating with Debian, and Debian, it's well known for its strong commitment with free software philosophy, and Debian free software guidelines, it's well known around all the free software communities, and Ubuntu is an operating system based on Debian, it imports most of its packages from Debian at the beginning of its release cycle, and Ubuntu has predictable and frequent releases, we have a release every six months, and every two years we have a long-term support release, and at a difference with Debian, Ubuntu receives the collaboration, the support from a company called Canonical, which offers corporate support for the distribution, and another difference between Ubuntu and Debian is that in Ubuntu there are some a team of developers called the Ubuntu core developers, who work 24-7 for Ubuntu, they get paid for that, but not all the developers are paid, they have some volunteers called the master of the universe, or more too for short, and how can we contribute to Debian from Ubuntu? Well, at first you can forward bug reports and patches that fix bugs from Ubuntu to Debian, and you have to be sure and double check that the bug or fix applies to Debian, and all this stuff you have to do it by email, the Debian bug tracking system works from a series of comments, you have to type in the content of your email, and that sometimes is not that friendly, especially, well, I have myself found reading the manuals every time I have to fill a new bug, and for new people and not well experienced in this topic, this can be a little tricky, but well, to make this more friendly for the developers, Ubuntu created a package called the Ubuntu DevTools, where you have a series of scripts that help you interact with the Debian bug tracking system, and you can forward patches to the BTS if the packages are already in Debian, because sometimes you have packages that exist in Ubuntu but they are not in Debian, so if the packages in Debian you can submit to Debian script to forward all the modifications you do to a Debian package to the Debian BTS, so that is what this script does. And you have a couple of things to keep in mind when you are forwarding bug reports to Debian, and you always have to mention that you are testing this fix or you found this bug in Ubuntu, and you have to double check, as I said before, that the fix or the bug applies to Debian, and we have some obligatory reading for this and how to report bugs effectively, and there is a link where you can read that, and another way to improve Ubuntu from Debian is to upload new packages to Debian, and this is the general rule now in the Ubuntu community, every time you say, hey, I have a new package and I want to upload it to Ubuntu, the developer says, okay, upload it to Debian and we will sync this to Ubuntu in the next release cycle, and as I said, the new packages once accepted in Debian, once they are in the Debian archives, you have the Ubuntu gets the packages automatically at the beginning of the release cycle in the first alpha release I think, and then you can request to sync or merge the packages when the Debian import freeze is getting in time, and I have found that a better way to get new packages into Debian is joining a Debian packaging team. Right now I am part of the Python applications packaging team, and well, I have been interacting with the team to get the package I have maintained in the Debian archives, and it is well, I think when I started to collaborate with Debian, I thought that it is going to be hard partly because, well, there is always the, we will talk about it later, there is always the idea that we have an intricate relationship, but joining a packaging team is the best way I think, and like I said, we have to kill the troll, because there are still people thinking that Debian and Ubuntu have a strong relationship, a very strong relationship, and that is not the case, there are, well, we have a Spanish audience now. We can start again? Well, okay, thank you. Well, I will continue in Spanish for the new audience. Well, as I said, in the question of collaborating with Ubuntu and Debian, we have to kill the troll, we have to remove that idea that Ubuntu and Debian have a tormented relationship, that is not the case, and well, Benjamin Hill has written an article called To Fork or Not To Fork, the lessons learned from Ubuntu and Debian, in which he talks very exhaustively about how this relationship between Ubuntu and Debian and how he has managed to manage that collaboration task. So I highly recommend reading that article, and well, the truth is that that is what I had prepared for today, I had a lot of space for questions or for the next talk, so I don't know if you have any questions, I think the majority was a little late. Well, I have this time for questions and I don't know if you have any. Yes, it is on. No, come closer. I always thought that for the packages to be in Ubuntu, I thought that they always had to be in Ubuntu first and then go to Debian, and what you explained is that the opposite process. Yes. They go to Debian first and then Ubuntu decides to include it. Yes. Well, I have seen myself twice in the case of uploading a package to Debian, an update of a package, there is a new upstream version, then I unpacked it for Debian, I made the request because I am not a Debian maintainer or a Debian developer, so I need a sponsor to be able to upload my packages to Debian, and sometimes it happens that you make the request, but it takes a long time and they don't respond to you, so there you can ask for help in Ubuntu and say, look, I have my package, here is the link to the report of the book where I requested the sponsorship and it takes six months, eight months, and nothing happens, so I want to upload it directly to Ubuntu, so there comes a, well, what they call Divergencia, you have a package, well, packages in Debian, almost always the version has the upstream version, Geon 1, Geon 2, Geon 3, and in Ubuntu it happens that there is an upstream version, Geon version of Debian, and then they say Ubuntu something, so the packages that say Ubuntu something are the ones that were modified in Ubuntu, but currently it is already less that amount, because the community has worked a lot, in which everything goes directly to Debian. I mean, you focused a lot on the packages. Yes. Other types of collaborations can be done from other distributions, from other operating systems, I think there is no, or the Debian community, if they have a limiter that they are going to cooperate in translations, they have to use Debian, they are going to cooperate in... Well, look, I haven't worked a lot, I haven't contributed a lot in that line of translations or some other, to write documentation, for example, I've never... I've been involved in that, because I've been involved in a lot, but I don't know how the method is, maybe in the translation chat we can see that, because I've even asked myself, what happens with the translations that you do in Ubuntu, do they go to Debian, or do they go directly to upstream? I'm not sure, I don't know... Yes, because we know that the translations in Ubuntu are a web platform, while I know that it's for the file, or with a system of all versions. Yes, so... If there are no more questions, I don't know, I wouldn't have questions left. I think that's it. Thank you, thank you very much.


Hi, my name is Smooth Jazz and I'm here for the Acoustic Core Sessions for Blackstar Amps. This song is called Arizona off my new EP.


All right, we have spent the last couple of videos pretty much talking about protons. We have also spent the last couple of videos talking about neutrons. We've been talking about the mass number of different types of atoms. We've been saying that the mass number is very close to the actual mass of an atom. And as far as we are concerned, the mass number, which is the number of protons plus the number of neutrons, is going to be about equal to the actual mass of an atom when we're talking about an atom. So let's keep that in mind. Let's also remember that the atomic number, this thing over here, is the number of protons that an atom has. So that being said, I'm going to ask a couple of questions and I'd like you to pause the video at various points and try to answer those questions. First question is, what type of atom is this one that I've drawn over here? Remember that a red circle is my cartoon version of a proton. So the way that you answer this question is you have to look up who has one proton in the periodic table. You have to look that up so you can pause, look it up. Hopefully you've looked it up and you will see that this is, sorry, this is a hydrogen atom because all hydrogen atoms have one proton. If you don't have one proton, it ain't a hydrogen. Next question I would ask is what's the approximate mass or what's the weight? What's the approximate weight of this atom? You can pause, but I'm just going to say the answer. It is approximately one atomic mass unit in weight or in mass. So we've got a hydrogen and if we wanted to write the mass number, which is just one, for the symbol, if we wanted to write the mass number for hydrogen, for this particular hydrogen we would write a little number one in the upper left relative to the symbol for hydrogen. So hopefully that's not too big of a problem. Next atom is shown here. I'm going to ask the same question. What kind of atom is it? You can pause, look up the information, unpause and hopefully you realize that this is the same type of atom. Type of atom because it still only has one red circle, it still only has one proton. And if you have one proton you are a hydrogen atom. Now this is a different hydrogen atom than the one on the left. This guy over here also has one neutron. So it's different than the one on the left. If you wanted to know its mass number, well the mass number is two because it's got one proton and one neutron and if you want to know the mass number you have to add those up. And so if I wanted to write the symbol for this particular version of hydrogen I would write a little two here instead of the little one that I wrote for the other guy on the left. So both of those cartoons are supposed to be hydrogen but they are different from each other. If I asked what the mass of this atom was you would say it's about two atomic mass units or two Dalton's and remember this one is about one atomic mass unit. So all I've done is drawn two different types of hydrogen atom. Third atom that I'm going to show you, same questions. What kind of atom is it and how much does it weigh roughly? Again this is a hydrogen atom because it has only one proton, one red circle. It's different than the other two because it also has two neutrons. Has even more stuff in the center of the atom. So it's a different type of hydrogen atom but it's still hydrogen because the only thing that controls what type of atom you have is the number of protons. That's it. So we have a hydrogen atom. First I asked you what the mass number was. Mass number equals three because we've got one proton and two neutrons and we add those together and we get a three. So if I wanted to write, describe this molecule without drawing or this atom I should say without drawing a fancy picture I can write the symbol for hydrogen excuse me and I can write, let's try that again, I can write the symbol for hydrogen and I can write the number three because this guy here has a mass number of three and if I wanted to know roughly how much it weighs you would say it weighs approximately three atomic mass units or approximately three dolens. So that's sort of a brief introduction to different versions of hydrogen. This one weighs the least. The middle one maybe if I was feeling informal which I usually am I would call this heavy hydrogen, this guy over here because it's certainly heavier than the one on the left. If I was still feeling informal I might call the one on the right even heavier hydrogen. So they're all hydrogens, all three atoms are hydrogens but they're different from each other in how much they weigh or what their mass is. There is a fancy name for these versions of hydrogen. They are all called isotopes of hydrogen. So every single atom that I've drawn here and let me remove some of the noise, every single atom or cartoon of an atom that I've drawn here is a hydrogen atom but they're different from each other and the name for different versions of atoms of these hydrogen atoms the fancy name is to call them isotopes of hydrogen. So I'm going to give you a definition of what an isotope is, an isotope, this is kind of my definition is a version, I'm putting version in quotes of an atom that's heavier or lighter than other versions of the same element. And so you can look at all of these, this is an isotope of hydrogen, we can write it H with the number one, the reason it's an isotope is because it's lighter than hydrogen number two over here and hydrogen number three over here. This middle one, excuse me, this middle one here is also an isotope of hydrogen because it's heavier than the first one and it's lighter than the second one. And then finally this third version of hydrogen is an isotope of hydrogen because it's heavier than the first two that I've drawn and there are other isotopes of hydrogen but I want you to sort of understand what this word means. It just means a version or even more informally a flavor of an atom that is either heavier or lighter than other flavors or versions of an atom. So and the way that we distinguish between them if we don't want to draw these fancy cartoons is we basically write their mass number. We write the symbol and we write the mass number. The middle one is H with a two in the upper left and the right one is H with a three in the upper left. So instead of drawing this cartoon, I can draw H with a one in the upper left. If I do that, I am basically saying, hey look, I am only talking about hydrogens that look like this one. Only hydrogens that have one proton, no neutrons. If I write an H with a two, that means I'm only talking about hydrogen atoms that have a mass number of two. Here, only hydrogens that have a mass number of three and these again are called isotopes. It's not just hydrogen atoms that can have isotopes. All elements can have isotopes, including whatever this atom is here. So I want you to pause the video in a moment and answer these three questions. In other words, what type of element is it? What's the atomic number? And really this should say what's the mass number or what's the approximate atomic mass? So you can pause the video and on pause. We're going to skip number one for the moment because it's easier to answer once we've answered the second question. What's the atomic number? Well, atomic number is a number of protons and this guy over here has one, two, three, four, five, six protons. Six protons, so the atomic number for whatever this is, is six. If I want to know the mass number, I have to count up the protons and the neutrons. There's six gray ones, one, two, three, four, five, six. Neutrons as well. Mass number is 12. And if I want to know what type of element it is, again, the only thing we need to know is how many protons it has. That's the only thing that will tell us what type of atom it is. If you, and you have to use the periodic table to do this unless you have the periodic table memorized, in which case you are an even bigger nerd than I am, if you look up who's got six protons in the periodic table, it's carbon. So this is a cartoon version of a carbon atom with a mass number of 12. Same type, same collection of questions for this other thing on the right. What element is it? What's its atomic number? What's its mass number? And what you will see, you can pause the video if you want and unpause. The atomic number is a number of protons. Well, it still has six protons, so the atomic number is still six. What that means is this is still a carbon atom, but it's different than the one on the left because the mass number, it's got six protons. If we count the gray circles, which are supposed to be neutrons, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, eight neutrons. So this atom on the right, it's a carbon atom, but its mass number is 14 because six and eight is 14. So this is an isotope of carbon, and so is the one on the left. That's just another isotope of carbon. And so again, part of the purpose of the slide is to show you that other elements can have isotopes as well. It's not just hydrogen that does this. If I wanted to describe to people this isotope of hydrogen, the one that I'm circling exclusively, what I would do, I'm sorry, this isotope of carbon that I'm circling exclusively, I would write the symbol for carbon, which is a capital C, and I would write a 12. And if I wanted to describe this one to other people without resorting to this elaborate picture, I would write the symbol for carbon, and I would write a 14. So I am basically telling people when I write this that I'm only talking about carbon atoms with a mass number of 12, with an approximate mass of 12 atomic mass units, and if I write this, I'm only talking about the carbons that have a mass number of 14. Again, there are other versions of, there are other isotopes of carbon, there's not just the one, the two that I've drawn here, there are many other weights that carbon can come in. Now, if you were going to speak these atoms out loud to someone else, the way that you would say this is you would call it, I think I have it written down here. Well, I have the other one written. If you were going to talk about this atom or this isotope exclusively, the way that you would say it out loud to other people is you would call it carbon 14. And as you might guess, if you were going to talk about this isotope exclusively, you would call it carbon 12. So that should be relatively easy to understand where those names are coming from. All right, so another game, let's play how many. How many protons does oxygen 17 have? So that's how I pronounce this. This is an isotope of oxygen. The second question is how many neutrons does oxygen 17 have? The way that you do this is you have to use your periodic table. And the periodic table will answer the first question. If you look up in the periodic table, oxygen atoms doesn't matter what kind. If it's an oxygen atom, it will have eight protons per atom. So that gets us halfway there. We figured out that here it's got eight protons. Second question is how many neutrons does it have? Well, we know that this number, 17, is the mass number. And we know that part of the mass number is derived from the number of protons. And the rest of the mass number is derived from the number of neutrons. So if we want to figure out the neutrons, we basically say, look, this oxygen weighs about 17 AMU. Eight of the weight comes from the protons. So the rest have to come from the neutrons. So if we want to figure out the number of neutrons, it's going to be 17 minus eight, which is nine neutrons. Hopefully I did that math correctly. Sounds looks good. So the answer to the next, the last question is nine neutrons. And again, a little bit of the purpose of the slide is to get you accustomed to reading isotopes, the way that they are typically written with the mass number in the upper left relative to the symbol. Okay. Now I want to talk about something related to isotopes called average atomic mass. It has many other names. It has many other names. This is the one that I tend to use and probably a lot of people tend to use it. So here we go. This is a thought experiment.  Imagine that I live in a universe where all the hydrogens come looking like this. All of the hydrogens have a mass of about one AMU. There's no other isotopes of hydrogen. They don't come in two AMU or three AMU or anything else, just one. If I asked you what the average mass of a hydrogen atom was in this universe, you would say, hey, it's about one AMU because they only come in this flavor. They only come in this weight. Now this is not the universe that we live in, but I just want you to think about that for a second. Let's pretend we live in a different universe where 50% of the hydrogens come weighing one AMU and 50% of the hydrogens come weighing about two AMU. There's no three AMU, there's no four AMU. They just come in ones and twos and it's 50-50. If I asked you what the average mass of hydrogen was, you would say, well, half of them come as one AMU, half of them come as two AMU. And to take the average, you add up the weights and you divide by the number of atoms. So one plus two is three divided by two. So you would say the average mass of a hydrogen atom in this universe is about one and a half AMU or 1.5 AMU. And again, I would tell you that you've done the calculation correctly in our pretend universe. That's what the average mass of hydrogen is. Again, we don't live in this universe, but I want you to think of, if you had different isotopes of hydrogen, what the average mass of the hydrogen atom would be because they come in two different weights, then you have to average them. Again, this is not the universe we live in. The universe we live in, almost all of the hydrogens come weighing one AMU, but not all of them. Every once in a while, there's a hydrogen weighing two AMU. Every once in a while, there's some weighing three AMU, roughly. And I think that there are even ones that are heavier than that, but they're all pretty rare, except for the first one. If we live in this universe, which we do, the first question I would ask is, is the average atomic mass of hydrogen exactly equal to one, approximately one AMU? Or is the average mass number of hydrogen equal to exactly one? And you'd have to say no to this. The reason you'd say no is because even though most of the hydrogens come with a mass number of one, every once in a while, there's one with a mass number of two. Every once in a while, there's one with a mass number of three, and probably even higher than that. And because of that, the average mass, excuse me, is not going to exactly equal one. It's gonna be a little bit more than one. And if you look in a more detailed periodic table, and I'm gonna show you more detailed periodic table in a minute, what you will see is you'll see more information that tells you the average mass of hydrogen atoms taking into account the fact that there are many different isotopes, taking into account the fact that there are many different weights that hydrogen atoms come in. So here's an example of a much more detailed periodic table. This is only a piece of the periodic table, but I want you to focus on the hydrogen here. This number one is the atomic number for hydrogen. And you remember that the atomic number is the number of protons. There's a lot of extra information in this particular periodic table. I want you to ignore most of it. You can ignore this top number, you can ignore this top right number. This is the symbol. This is the name of the atom, obviously. And then underneath, there's these two numbers, 1.00. Let's just stick with the first one, 1.00784. What that number is, is the average atomic mass for hydrogen atoms. So people have looked very carefully at this, much more carefully than I would ever want to. And they've basically figured out what the average weight of a hydrogen atom is. And they know that it's somewhere in between 1.00784 and 1.00811. That's where this is coming from here. Depends on where you dig and pull up your hydrogen atoms as to where the number is. But it seems to be somewhere in between these two. It seems to be in this range. And you'll notice that these numbers are a little bit bigger than one. So what that's telling you is that most of the hydrogens come with a mass number of one. But every once in a while, there's one with a mass number of two. And every once in a while, there's one with a mass number of three. And those twos and threes and maybe the fours and fives, they pull the average up a little bit more than one, a little bit over one. And when you look at a more detailed periodic table, you will usually see an atomic number number, which is always a whole number. Here's another one, here's another one, et cetera. And then you'll see this thing that is usually some decimal number. And this is the average mass or the average weight of your atom. Hydrogen weighs a little bit more than one. And what I want you to realize, and this sometimes confuses the hell out of students, is that this does not mean all of the hydrogens weigh 1.00, weigh somewhere in between these two. This is an average. If you take a test in a class, and I tell you that the class average is an 80, that does not mean that everybody scored an 80. If I tell you the average atomic mass is 1.007A4, that does not mean all the hydrogens come weighing 1.007A4. It means that there are some hydrogens that weigh less than this. There are some hydrogens that weigh more than this. But if you take the average, it comes out to somewhere in this range. And you will see this in this particular periodic table, the average atomic mass is written at the bottom of the box. It doesn't really have to be there. That's just the way that it's done here. You can put them in any different place inside of the box. Usually you have to refer to a key. There's a key here that's supposed to tell you what everything means. So this letter Z, if you look it up, it says Z is the atomic number. You can ignore this. You can ignore this. And then SAW stands for Standard Atomic Weight, which is a weird way of saying average atomic mass. But you can see that this average atomic mass is almost never a whole number. So for beryllium, it's 9.01, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Don't worry about what this parentheses means and that number in there. But basically what you should think is that most of the berylliums probably come with a mass number of about nine. But there are some that are heavier than nine. There are some that are lighter than nine. But if you average them all up, the average mass is about 9.012. Magnesium has a range because they don't know exactly where it falls. Scandium, you know, 44.955. So what you'll see is this number that is almost always a decimal is telling you what the average mass of your atom is. So eventually you're going to have to use a more detailed periodic table. You can use this one if you want. I will send it to you. You can send me an email and I will send it to you. Believe it or not, I am such a massive nerd that I made this periodic table. So I don't know, I guess I should be embarrassed about that and I probably am a little bit. But you can ignore this number, this number. The other ones you should know. You can also use the periodic table in your textbook. That's pretty good. It doesn't have as much information in it, which means in my opinion that it's probably less confusing. But I tried to be super anal retentive when making this, so probably may be overkill for most purposes. What I want you to know is that these numbers here, these decimal numbers, are the average mass of different elements. So to summarize, we've spent a lot of time talking about protons and neutrons. So here's a very brief summary of what you should know. You should know what atomic mass means. That is roughly equal to how much an atom weighs. And I'm going to put weighs in quotes. You should know what atomic number means. That is the, that's the number of protons. You should know the electrical charge of protons, neutrons, and electrons. Protons have a positive electrical charge. Neutrons have no electrical charge. Electrons have a negative electrical charge, which I'm going to write with a minus sign. Positive electrical charge I'm going to write with a plus sign. You should know the relative weights of these particles. So protons weigh about 1 AMU. Electrons weigh about zero. And neutrons weigh about 1 AMU. Then you should know how to use protons and neutrons to figure out approximate mass and mass number. And that's it. Don't forget about isotopes and average atomic mass, but that is it. Next, I think we go on to electrons.
