Guys, let me tell you a little bit about Tom Busby. So I know Tom for probably close to 15, maybe 20 years now, the time is flying.  I've done so many events with Tom. He's just a, there's only probably a few people I would rather recommend to teach futures and options. And he's a top guy on the list, especially having the experience that he has. We've done so many events together. Everyone has taken his courses, have taken my courses. We're very, very similar on the way we educate, but also most importantly, we have the same mentality, how we teach our traders, how to be very successful and what we do every day. He's got a great facility down there in Mobile, Alabama. And like I said, he's probably one of the most well-known, most respected in the education community. So without, don't take too much time from Tom, Tom Leach, pass the mic over to you and let's just start sharing your screen. Guys enjoy and then I'll be coming back at one and do them and finishing up telling you about a little bit about day trading. Thanks everyone, enjoy the presentation. Hey, thanks Fausto. Can everybody hear me okay? I always like to ask that question because sometimes I get going and then the next thing you know, people say, what'd you say? Yeah, I've been doing this a while and in that experience that I have, I've learned I think how to teach the art of trading. In fact, if you're ever coming to Mobile, you'll look out front on one of our bylines on our sign is teaching the art of trading. Now there's risk involved in trading and depending on whether you're a short-term trader or a swing trader or a long-term trader, there's a lot of different ways, what I would say to make money. And even short-term trading is divided in real short-term trading. Some people call it scalp trading and everything, but day trading and then maybe two day trading or week trading. I prefer the week, okay? The week is a sort of a Cadillac version of trading, but I can still trade the short-term if I need to. And in fact, I just completed a series I called Money Ball with my people and they loved it because they'd never seen me trade that way in the short-term. And so there's a lot of different things you can do as a trader. And as Falstow had said, we have spent a lot of time together over the years. I first met him years ago out in Las Vegas and we were both doing a radio show in Texas and we had a reason to talk to each other and we did and became fast friends and presented together in Canada and all over America. So let me get into this after risk. You decide right now how much you're willing to risk when you take a trade. You have to do that. I can't do that, Falstow can't do it. You have to decide because there's a level really not based on your bank account but based on your emotional account. And let me define what I'm talking about. You will decide what you can take as a loss because there will be losses in trading. Anybody that says, hey, there's no losses hadn't been around for 40 plus years like me. You have losses, but you gotta be able to overcome those losses using the October to December timeframe. Worst market since 1931. So you gotta be able to live through those environments to pop out on the other end and do like I do, I charge an interest if they take my money, okay? So that's my game and that's what I've been playing since 1987. All right, so been around a while. I like to tell people I was in the United States Air Force. The reason I like to tell you that I'm proud of my service but at the same time I'm happy with what I learned. I learned that everything where it comes for what you do on a daily basis, weekly basis, monthly basis or yearly basis you've got to formulate a process and trading is no different. You have to learn a process in entry, a process in moderating and a process in exiting. Anybody tells you there's a shortcut to that hasn't been successful trading. There's a process there. I've been trading actively since the 70s. In fact, I'm still a member of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange and I have three books winning the day trading game. The markets never sleep and trade to win. I am partial to the first book winning the day trading game because that sort of tells you how I went from not knowing that a pork belly was a commodity to being a professional trader. It's an interesting journey. My first two stocks I bought were Eastern Airlines and Pan Am. If you come to my office in Mobile you'll see one of them on the wall to remind me there's no such thing as a sure deal. Okay, you've got to always go in with your eyes wide open as you're doing it. The market never sleeps is about my experience I had with Globex, the forerunner to electronic trading and how the 24-hour market improves your odds of success if you know the exact times. And then of course the last book I was working with Options Express at the time that was a brokerage firm that had a leader, Ned Bennett, a great guy. And anyway, that book's about the attitude it takes to succeed.  Now, where I start my story from is 1987. At the time I was a Wall Street broker and I thought I knew everything about making money. Everything, arrogant, nobody could tell me a thing. I knew exactly what worked and how to work. Well, let me tell you 1987 on that Monday that October 19th day taught me a lot. It taught me a lot about myself to recover from that and what happened on those three days, okay? Says a lot about you and who you are because I was in the pits of hell after that three days. I had lost a lot of money personally and I didn't realize just how much risk there was in what I call the overnight approach to trading. It happened. And in that case, it was fast.  And I guess on a long-term chart it was but when you lose 22% in a day, think about that today. Do the math on it. How many points on a dial would it be today to lose 22% in one day? So put stuff, when you're down 5% for the month like we are right now, puts things in perspective when you go through that. I came out of it and I came out of it a better trader and more understanding of how this game works. That was my commitment. Now, this is a new product that I opened up about 60 days ago, it's called T-Buzz TV. It's where I take all that experience and put it in a two-minute video that goes out in the morning before the market opens. Uh, we just exceeded 5,000 people. 5,000 people signed up for my T-Buzz TV and I would encourage you to sign up, do it right now while you're thinking about it. It takes about a minute and you'll get my video every morning. You will find out, I will focus where the meet is, okay? They say, where's the meet? Remember, it was a Wendy's commercial. Where's the meet? They say where the meet is every morning before the market opens and you can do it right here and there, guess what? No cost, no cost, it's just totally free. But you do have to make the effort to fill out the joining process. It takes about two minutes. Adam says it takes about 10 seconds. It takes me about two minutes, okay? But anyway, there it is, T-Buzz TV. Now, let's discuss the current market. Hard to trade the treat world, isn't it? You know, you got a plan like today, the market's going up, it's been making high after high. It's the first two-day run that we've had in May and all of a sudden you go from 2,800 on the S&P to 2,890. Pretty good, pretty impressive. In fact, if we keep going like this, we might make it back to the monthly open, which is 2,955. Amazon, if you watch Amazon stock today, it's surging, it's 1911. You watch some of these stocks like Zoom. It's up $6 or $7 today. So the point is, you gotta be around for these kind of days if you play from the long side, okay? And I think that you just got to be able to see that trend, stay with that trend, and have money allocation to meet that trend. DTI has been around for a long time. And I told you about the crash. I'll tell you, I formulated a method out of the crash that works like a charm. It works long-term, it works swing, and it really works short-term if you're a short-term trader. So it works no matter what kind of timeframe you have. It's tailored to show you the style and the approach to take to win, okay? To be in that top 5% of people that make money. Now this is my number one rule in trading. I tell people all the time, learn this rule and make your life a lot simpler. My number one rule in trading is, follow the S&P. Right now today, the S&P's at $28.90. It's rising, it opened at $28.53. 75% of all stocks you check a day are gonna be higher. Why is that? Because that's the way it works, folks. It works from the S&P futures. And so you gotta keep this up, you gotta follow the S&P. And when I talk about the stock market, I tell you it's going higher. I'm talking about the S&P because that pulls stocks up. And I love trading stocks. Love trading options. Heck, I love trading futures. Okay, the next important thing I focus on is time. There's time a day.  Well, there's a 24-hour market you gotta learn. Time a week, certain days are more powerful than other days to trade. I don't know if anybody's ever told you that. I can prove it to you. And finally, I focus on time a month. What cycle are we in and where we're at? And I got techniques and tools that I teach for all that because I'm gonna be right four out of five times. Markets never sleep. And the best way to think about it is through the eyes of the reference bars. Reference bars is a term I created to show people the separation of the markets around the world. This is my clock. This is how it works. Notice that we start in the evening, five o'clock in the evening, and we go to 3.30 in the morning. There's two primary markets we focus on during that time frame. You might've heard of it. The Nikkei opens about seven o'clock. The Hanksing opens about 8.30.  I always say go where the sun is to about 3.30 in the morning. At 3.30 in the morning, we focus on four European indexes. The Dax, my favorite of all. The FTSE, the Swiss, and the CAC. Okay? I think that's important. And then finally, we get into the day market. It's when New York starts getting up. And I call this the New York market, 8.30 to 12. So far, New York came in with guns ablazing. And the next thing you know, we're up here at 28.91. The reference bar pointed out this. And I always ask people, could you have made money if you would have known at 8.45 this morning that this market was gonna have a strong four hours up? That's a simple question. Could you have made money? Probably went and bought a stock and made money off of it because most stocks have moved up during this timeframe. Now, here's the real key. Two things happen at 12.30. 12.30 central time, not 12.30 eastern time. These are all central times. We go into the afternoon market. And we're gonna find out if this trend you're looking at in the morning is gonna last in the afternoon by looking at that 30 minute period from 12.30 to one. That's called reference bar four, the last one of the day, and will give us a point to where we're going in the afternoon. So do we hold these stocks we bought in the morning? We'll find out about one o'clock, okay? That's the way it works. It's pretty simple, straightforward, but it works folks. That's the best thing about it.  So when I say I'm day trading, am I day trading? Or am I trading in Asia? If I'm day trading, or am I trading in Europe? Or am I day trading, am I trading in New York? Or I'm day trading, trading in California. This is how I define each and every day. Now, the DTI code is very simple, and I want you to write this down also.  Are we higher at the start of May than we were at the year? Of course we are. The trend is higher. So you play, as Livermore did, the path of least resistance. The path of least resistance is up, and so we're gonna play the market up during this timeframe, okay? And we find that so interesting when you're able to do that. Now, any questions about that? Cause that's such a key point, okay? Such a key point. I'm gonna pause for a sec. I'll be giving you a lot of stuff. Let you digest it a little bit. And in the meantime, I'm gonna go put on a tray. I've got the roadmap helping me monitor all this stuff and Apple just flashed a by signal.  There you go, done. Okay, so you look at the weekly open. And the weekly open will define where we're at. So the question I would ask you, are we higher than where we started the week? Yeah, we're higher. So stocks that are higher also are gonna respond well to being higher for the week. Now, I tell people, think in these terms. There's five simple steps.  Five simple straight, five simple steps, okay? I would think you, everybody here, you know, a phone number's got 10 digits in it when you thank the area coach. So you're already, this is half of remembering a phone number. So next time you think about somebody's phone number, I want you to think about my five steps to success of trading. It's like counting the five can make you money. Here we go. Number one, I have a piece or a tool, okay? That will allow me to determine where other items based on the S&P will be if we go to certain numbers. For example, we're at 2892 right now. If we went to 2898, I could put that in here and it would predict exactly how high Apple would go. Now I don't have it live for you, but I'm gonna do it and give you the exact number off a live roadmap, okay? I'll just do target there. And let's say the S&P went to 2898. Everybody following that? So if the S&P goes up six points from here, I would say that Apple, okay, not 2898, yeah, 2898. If it goes up 2898, then I'd look over at Apple and I'd say Apple, which right now is at 192 will be at 19310. So I could buy Apple, sell Apple, probably during this presentation if the S&P goes up another four or five points. That's how it works. So this is one of my secrets is my tool out of the roadmap. I call it the moneymaker. Takes about five minutes to learn how to do what I just did. Secondarily, I put the high and low of the S&P in the moneymaker where I see the high and low to B. And that comes from the software too, but right now the next resistance is 2898. I'll just tell you that, take my word for it. And then I use options or stocks to make money off that. Now, this is a real play. I taught some people this morning how to do. I said, you know, you can do this with real tight options and make a lot more money by leverage. If you like that, and I showed people how to do that, okay? But it's simple to do and it's nothing hard about it. Get the direction of the market up. Get the direction that's gonna stay up to 1230, right? That's when we have to reevaluate and we execute the trade. Now finally, there's certain days you ought to write these days down. If you join my program today, I make a big deal about these two days. Every month they're different, but there's two days that I call it, there's two days that I call our money days. The no-brainer type days. The guys, even the stupidest trader can make money if they'll listen to where to get in and where to get out. So in May we have two days. One is the 28th, the other one's the 30th, okay? And I'll show you how it works if you become part of the DTI group. Now, there's the clock that we follow. Right now we're in US morning. I have a chart up, okay? And if you dial that in there, you will see that we're approaching the top end of the buy zone or our target. And that's why if the market does creep up another few points and makes it 98 without a correction, that'd be okay. But I just wanted you to know what I'm looking at today. Above the reference bar. Now, simple option analysis involves which options do you buy, which options do you sell? Okay? So I go to, and you probably got a option, what I would call a option chain. And I would teach you and show you how this works. If you look there at, on this particular one, a 205, 202 and a half with a buy signal on Apple, you could do a put spread if we were above 205 and 202 and a half. Since Apple is way below that, we'd have to get a current one up here, but it would work the same way on Thursday to Friday. If you like making money from Thursday to Friday, I'd met many traders that don't like making money from Thursday to Friday. Now, it's simple. You can buy the stock, okay? Apple's going up a dollar. You could sell puts, that's a bullish strategy, or you could buy calls and make money on it. Not hard if you get the direction right. That's step number three. Step number four, using that DTI code, we're higher than a week. Hey, we're higher than the day. That even takes it to DEF CON four, okay? This baby is really looking good. Now, here's an example with Amazon. Here's a recent trade I made on Amazon. It opened here at 1465. It opened this month at 1933. It opened a week at 1946, so I asked people, how would you like to be long option stock or sold puts on Amazon this week, this week if you achieve those numbers? Well, guess what? Amazon is 1913 right now. 1913 right now. This is made numbers. We get above 1946, and you got a trade there for this week. All you gotta do is wait and see if it happens, okay? 1946 is the breakout number for Amazon. That's when I'll do a whole bunch of option strategies for Amazon. The roadmap will also give you buy signals that come to you. Basic option strategies that take advantage of it. That's when it was at 1949. Went to 1957. Now, this was on that particular day using the same thing I just told you, okay? I said, here's a way to experience. This was on the 3rd of May, okay? The 3rd of May. I made $4,000 over the course of that day following what I just told you. Does that get your attention? It should, okay? Because let me tell you, this is something that is what I call the bread and butter of making money with options using stocks. Okay, Wall Street versus My Street. Let me give you an example of what I call perceived risk with options and real risk. Wall Street teaches that if you sell a spread for $2.50 spread and you get two and a quarter net, okay? You got 25 cents of risk or vice versa. If you get 25 cents, you got 225. I call that perceived risk, okay? I call that perceived risk, okay? And the reason I do that is because there's a thing called real risk that brings in skill level, brings in time of week, brings in the roadmap plan, brings in a lot of stuff to help you, okay? But that is called perceived versus real risk, okay? Wall Street will tell you, oh, there's $2.50 center of risk. There's not $2.50 in a quarter of risk because you're not gonna keep that thing if it goes against you anyway, okay? So here's a question that Wayne asked. He says, why are we looking at most expensive stocks in the market? Does it matter what kind of stocks you look at if you have a way to trade the low price ones to the high price ones? Does it matter? It doesn't, does it? Because if you get the direction right for a small stock, you make money. If you get the direction right for a big stock, you make money, okay? I like to use stocks that have very liquid options, and the reason I do that is because I run a hedge fund also and I like to have stocks that can take volume that go into my analysis. And that's one reason that I'm pretty familiar with these bigger stocks, but I'm also familiar with low price stocks too. It all works the same way, just numbers. Don't discriminate against making money. That's what I would tell you. Now, money management, that's a key part of any setup that you do. You gotta have money management. Everything can go wrong no matter how good you are.  What you wanna do is make a realistic appraisal of the risk, a real list of the appraisal of the reward, and then you wanna follow that through a trading process. For example, if I enter something, I know where I'm going with it, target. I know where I'm wrong. Two great questions to ask yourself no matter what you in, whether it's a small stock or a big stock, okay? All right, well, so if you were part of Tbuzz, I would text out to you, here's a trade. You'd get it on your phone. An 1855 put, this is a real live trade that we did, bought at 18, we got 30 cents, expired on May the 10th, and everybody know what that's worth right now? About zero, okay? Because it was a good trade, but that's how it would work if you were out there. Now, my summary is you study the market, use the money maker portion of the tool, you time the market using my method of timing, use simple option analysis to find out which option to buy, which option to sell, use expert risk management, I'll teach you that, and you manage your money according to way that fits your goals. So let me ask the question. What's a good return for you? What's a good return? Don't talk daily, don't talk weekly, talk over the course of a year.  You realize that the S&P a year ago was trading at the same price. So if you look at the S&P from a year ago, you bought the S&P, you watched it go up, you watched it go down, it's still about the same price we started. Sort of defeats that long-term trading stuff when you think about it that way, doesn't it? Took all that risk and didn't get paid. I'd say don't work for free. So I put these concepts into action and in a live market and each Tuesday I do my live trading in my connected diet session and lay out this week's potential profits. So T-Buzz, this is my program. This is a good way to get to know me. It's my pride and joy of what I've been doing. I've been doing it for five years. Pretty good at it, folks, pretty good. It's a way to text out trades I find for you that you can take using options. You can also use stocks, but use options to make the most money. That's leverage and it works this way. On Sunday night, I lay out the week. I tell people how I'm gonna play this week. I did it this Sunday night and my people, this week in T-Buzz are sitting on a bunch of profits because I laid out a great plan. I do it each Sunday night. Okay, it takes about 30 minutes. I lay it out. On Monday, I give you a pivot number. The pivot number is important because the pivot number is gonna help you make money. Above it, that's when you get long. Below it, you get cautious. Tuesday, we go live. Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. We call it payday, okay? People seem to like it. They love it. I will tell you this.  And that is we're gonna make money each week and each week we're gonna take the action that goes on whatever they give us and deal with it. Starts on Sunday night, finishes up on Friday. I review new seasonality. Any other items are important to the current market. Here's next week. This starts Sunday night. I'll go through my detailed plan. If I look at it off the top of thing, Monday's not that big. Tuesday, not much on Tuesday. Wednesday, you got retail sales. Thursday, Philadelphia Fed, housing starts. Today, housing numbers are good. That'll be another number. And that big number, consumer sentiment on Friday. So next week is weighted towards the second half of the week. Now here's the seasonality. This is taken out of the Traders Omen Act, but what we've learned to do is blend it. And any days that are above 50, the odds are in your favor for the market going higher. Below 50, the odds are that the market will go lower. So you can see Monday here is a very weak Monday, which means it sets up the Tuesday trade, okay? That's what it means. Friday is pretty good, close to even. And so I would say Tuesday and Friday are your big chances to see the market go up. But I'm looking at the market there and it looks like a pretty weak overall, which might be that we're gonna rush it this week and then correct it next week. Just keep that in the back of your mind. Now, the pivot numbers are sent out on Monday. I'll do that, you'll have it. That pivot numbers will help you trade and you'll use those numbers for being long or being out. This week's pivot number was 2862. We passed 2862 this morning and look what's happened since we've done. It's done nothing but go straight up, okay? And so all these positions that we put on when that happened are paying big time. Oh, Tuesday we connected dots. Here's a couple stocks that were long, okay? Apple, look at that, 187 we got long. Amazon, that was a big play this week on the options. And then of course, Union Pacific, another big play right there, okay? Three setups for this week that we talked about. Now, I will have what is known as a special flash meeting inside of T-Buzz. This is when I see something that, hey, that my granddaughter could make money with. By the way, she is seven years old, a smart cookie and I've taught her how to trade and it's basically she could make money with what the flash meetings are held about, okay? Hey, you've got to take advantage of this particular situation. You get notified, we do it. That was one that we took on Amazon on the eighth. Again, paid 11, sold it for 30. Now, here's a review of T-Buzz to give you some flavor of what I'm talking about and just how good it is. I know of no other program on the planet is this transparent, this straightforward and this easy to follow, okay? Took a years to get it this way. Apple trade, 231%, we're using 10 lots, okay? Not a lot of money. QQQ, 8.4%, Lulu, 123%, Amazon, these are option returns. This is pretty good stuff. With T-Buzz, you write your own ticket. Some people start out with five contracts, two contracts and some people do 10. Some people do 100 because they've got that much faith in what we're doing, okay? Now, I have a trial, I'd like you to sign up for a year but I know that you got to see it, taste it and fill it and what your account grow. So I'd like you to sign up for the trial, which is three months. It includes 12 weeks working with me, 12 live sessions and a minimum of 12 flash meetings over that period of time. I will exceed that, I'm sure. Plus, I'm gonna teach a how to day trade options. I know how to do it and every now and then I get on a topic, say, hey, why don't we day trade? So if you're using stocks to day trade, this works great for you if they have options. I'll teach you how to day trade it and hopefully results like this. This is one of my customers, he started with a $2,000 account, he sent it to me, he said, time, I'm up $19,000 this year. That's a pretty good return, I would say. 2,000 he had in his account. Everybody see that, 19,000, that's a real customer. By the way, we limit this to 10 because we only take 10 at a time and then we had to put you on a waiting list and then you'll be called next time we offer it because we had to look at our total pool of people in that we're on support. Our support is fantastic and I would tell you, okay? I would tell you, take one of these slots, okay? It's simple, I work on the scholarship basis and here's the way that works. You're paying me $600 to get into one of the best text and trade services on the planet. Here's what I'm gonna do for you. I'm gonna show you how in that first week to 10 days, how to make that money back based on your experience and your knowledge, okay? And that's the way it's gonna work. S Wells, are you a client of mine? Aren't you a client of mine? I just saw you asked a question. He wouldn't know what Apple trade I was making. Let's see if he answers me. I don't know if that's the one that's a client of mine but I think S Wells is. I don't know, did S Wells type anything? Who knows? Did S Wells type anything? I was gonna, Wayne, I answered your question, didn't I? Oh, you're in teagas, right? Yeah, okay. Well, given your evaluation, how good am I? Telling. He watches all my videos and meetings. I do a lot of them. Yep, perfect. Oh, it goes from the top to the bottom. Hi, procrastination. Let me tell you about procrastination. I like using this because it's a great story. If you procrastinate, it will cost you money this afternoon. Why do I know that? Because I know when we get to Europe, or not Europe, get to the afternoon, there's gonna be another opportunity and in teabuzz, I will call a flash meeting and we'll take advantage of it. That's why I know what it costs you. And it takes out of me a little time to get you loaded into the system. But this afternoon, I will do my setup from Thursday to Friday. I have a classic setup I do on Thursdays. I'll do it this afternoon. So that's why I know what's gonna cost you money. There you go. He said, first trade made was over 100%. That's pretty good. That's pretty good. How would you describe yourself as far as experience? Scott, trading weekly options. I love trading weekly options. In fact, as I've been sitting here talking about this, a lot of my weekly options are getting to the point. I've got to go closing out, but they're looking really good, okay? But I start out with where they open the week at. And that's what Tuesday's all about, Scott, is what sets up that week out of the 10. I only follow about 10 stocks and I do it. Barry, I'd like to thank you for joining. There's a guy that can't do, you know, delay. Let's do this. Send Barry a copy of the Trader's Almanac where he's got it to guide. I got an extra copy here. I'll send Barry for being number one. Adam, we'll be doing a flash meeting today in T-Buzz at 2.30. Let all the T-Buzz people know. That's a private room. It didn't describe it. But we have a private room and everybody hangs up. There you go. There you go. Yes, Patrick, because one thing that you'll find about me after the crash of 87, I have so much respect for people that don't have a lot of money. I orient everything I do to the small player. I got a lot of big players, like I told you, I run a hedge fund, but I really, okay, focus on the small people. Cause one time when I lost all my money, I was very small. I didn't even have $2,000, you know, it was tough. But I'll show you how to allocate it. You'll work it up. You saw Hugh there. He was, Hugh had 2,000 he started with. There's an example. Now Hugh listens and takes the trades. That's the other thing you gotta do. You gotta listen and take the trades. You'll start out about two contracts.  After your count doubles or whatever, you'll step it up to five. After your count doubles again, you'll step it up to 10, you'll be there. Cause I don't, on the options I use, I don't maximize you out at the same time. I'm a big recycler and recycle to me means you use the same money over and over again. That's my definition of recycling. All right, folks, I'm about to wrap it up. Any other questions anybody has? Yeah, Barry, I get to know you. Where are you from, Barry? Oh man. Let me tell you my New York story. You'll love this. As Fausto said, I used to travel around the country and speak. And I was in New York one time and I had a rough crowd. That crowd in New York was rough, bein' a Southern guy, right? And everybody was talkin' and they wasn't listenin' too much. I said, let me tell you what I love about New Yorkers. Okay? And here's what I love. New Yorkers on average wake up about six o'clock in the morning. And I said, what I do in Mobile is I get up a little earlier than that. And here's what I do. I watch the overseas markets and I get my positions on. And then as New York shows up and wakes up, I sell my positions to the New Yorkers. I've been takin' advantage of New Yorkers for a long time just cause I wake up earlier. One guy at the break pulls me aside. He said, hey, I wanna sign up for your program cause I like your thinkin'. Stayin' ahead of the crowd. I said, absolutely. So I love New Yorkers. Always have. Let me do this for everybody that joins today. Adam, this is just for these people though, okay? All right? Anybody that joins today, anybody joins today, that I don't document that you made what you paid me to join over the three months that you're with me, okay? I'll give you your money back. How about that? That gives me three months to exceed your expectations. Adam, just for the people in this group, okay? I'll do that. I don't do that anymore. I did it about four or five years ago. I said, I'll do that today. I'm feelin' very generous because as I'm settin' here, I'm havin' a pretty good day.  I love Faustos crowd. Like he said a lot of Faustos customers take my courses, take his courses, and that's one thing me and Faustos already do again as a joint course sometime, you know? We oughta do that. He's great. All right, folks, I guess I'm about done, aren't I? Any other questions before I go? Are you willing to learn, Mark? Are you willing to learn the trade options? I have Adam send you a link to a simple option course I put together and you'll know after takin' that where you oughta sign up for T-Buzz, but I think you'll be fine doin' it if you're willing to learn. Well, why don't you send that link to Mark and Patrick, my simple option course, okay? Send Adam your email and he'll send a link to you for that simple option course. Well, here's an insight for everybody. This market is gonna go higher from here, meaning we will have a good second half of the year, okay? A good second half. Here's an insight and here's another insight. Walmart reported record earnings today. You are listed on my T-Buzz TV. Walmart is gonna go to 110. I wanna thank Dough and Carl Griever for joining. Thank you for joining. I appreciate it. Last call for those that wanna make money. Isn't that right, Adam? Adam says, yeah, come look at his account. Last call, perfect. All right, with that said, everybody, thanks, Tom, for being here. It's been a great experience, great to hear you again. It's always nice. And you know, it's so funny that what Tom was mentioned earlier is that he's gonna give it away, he's gonna guarantee it after three months. You guys do it and you go through it. What do you have to lose? I always say that. The thing is, you gotta have some skin into game when it comes to trading. And everyone doesn't realize that it's a lot of work to train somebody. And I don't know about over there in Alabama, but they just passed a law here in New York that minimum wage is $15 an hour, okay? For my staff to even call and confirm somebody, okay, we lose money on the deal. But the point is this, we're all together as being partners and we're willing to make an investment in you because you know what, we just get sick and tired of seeing lose people losing money. That's really what it comes down to. So we're going to just stick around and once again, thanks Tom. And listen, we gotta meet up again. So let's try to get that done. It's been a while. We did a lot of events together. But what we're gonna do guys right now is we're gonna give you guys some time. You're more than welcome, Tom. And I always appreciate those Sunday morning phone calls you give me. He goes, I have epiphany. I gotta talk to you fast though. So we can get this trade, do that trade. So it's always great that traders always think together.


The second batch of Sudanese evacuees arrived in Nigeria on Friday. They arrived at the Inamdea Zikwe International Airport of Buja at about 3.30pm with 130 persons on board the Tako airline aircraft. There were 128 females and two males. We just gave you an example of two students who had unruly behaviour, who crossed the lines without necessary documentation and because the entire 500 students to be returned and punished because of their unruly behaviour, that has set our clock back 10 hours. And the 10 hours is depending on whether we are able to conclude before nights fall. By the time it's nightfall, the gates are closed, we can no longer guarantee the 10 hours it has to be the next morning. So in this case, I want to assure you that within all limits, in what we call in chemistry, STP, standard temperature and pressure, we will have them back within two-three days. Otherwise, we will work with whatever limitations we face, but I assure you we are equal to the task. There are two aircrafts, as one is on ground, Max is on ground. The capacity of those two aircrafts can carry everybody at the Egyptian side. Then we have those at the port of Sudan. We have Tako is ready, Airpeace is ready. So we are waiting to hear from them to evacuate them. Airpeace is doing two flights out of Port Sudan and Tako will take the rest. So all that hopefully in the next few days everything will be over. We have to identify those who require psychosocial support. Those who needed immediate accommodation and some kind of follow-up, upkeep we did for them.  In that form, it gives you give them tips on how to recover, you know, that was organized or put together by the reconstitute team in the commission. And so going forward, we have all the telephone numbers, you know, and they have our own telephone numbers and the team. And then, of course, the email addresses of the commission that they can reach out


statistics and excel perfect positive correlation got data let's get stuck into it with statistics and excel first a word from our sponsor yeah actually we're sponsoring ourselves on this one because apparently the merchandisers they don't want to be seen with us but but that's okay whatever because our merchandise is is better than their stupid stuff anyways like our trust me i'm an accountant

the video presentations one note desktop version here now thinking about correlation where we have different data sets to see if there's a mathematical relationship or correlation between them in other words are the data points in the different data sets moving together in some way shape or form if there is a mathematical relationship or correlation between the different data sets the next logical question would be is there a cause and effect relationship that's causing the correlation or mathematical relationship and if there is a cause and effect relationship the next logical question would be what's the causal factor that's causing the cause and effect relationship which is causing the correlation or the mathematical relationship between the data sets we're going to start off by thinking about a perfect positive correlations something you don't typically find when looking at correlations because usually we're looking at two different data sets to see if there's a trend that is moving in the general direction but we want to start off with that perfect situation which one example would be when we had conversions so if you were to convert for example inches to feet then you're going to have the perfect correlation between those two different data sets so that's what we'll construct first to get an idea now to do that we're going to give i'm going to imagine that we're going to give excel the information to generate our our first data set how could we do that we could do that by just giving random numbers we can ask excel to give us just random numbers and we've seen in prior sections that if we were to do that give us random numbers that we're going to say our inches for example uh excel then if we were to graph that it would be going towards like a uniform type of distribution but for our first example i'm going to give our first data set in inches and we're going to generate the data that's going to be random but in alignment with a bell curve type of distribution if you want to see how to do that you can do this problem in excel so that we're going to have our inches data here this is the inches data that we generate in excel it's going to align more or less to a bell curve has some randomness but aligns to the bell curve again the fact that it aligns to a bell curve is not going to be the factor which will be determining whether or not there's a perfect positive correlation or not and that's one thing that we kind of want to take a look at we'll look at examples in the future where we will do a random example it won't correlate to a bell curve but rather correlate to more of a uniform distribution so uh then we're going to round it so i'm going to take this data and we're going to round it so here's our kind of randomly generated numbers i'm going to round it to the nearest inch so we're going to imagine our random generated numbers 16 inches 21 inches 36 inches 54 inches 52 inches and so on and then we'll convert that to feet so if there's 16 inches and we say there's 12 feet and an inch we're going to say all right 16 divided by 12 is about out 1.33 it should be and then we're going to say all right 21 divided by 12 21 over 12 is around 1.72 1.75 because of the rounding so i'm going to say there it is so there's going to be our feet information so i'm going to say okay so we have that and notice if i get more specific of course if i took this 15.60015 divided by 12 you get closer to that 1.3 so they're still rounding involved but we rounded it to the two digits on the inches now clearly we can see here because this is a conversion that there's going to be a relationship between these two data sets because of the converting factor of 12 inches in a foot but if we imagine that these two we don't know exactly what they are and we're trying to see if there's a correlation then we can imagine that from this point going forward so now we're going to say okay then and by the way we generated this random set of numbers by going to the data if you were in excel and using the analysis which you can turn on in excel if you don't have it and the data analysis tool and then we chose the random number generation but we set some parameters around it for giving us the bell type curve generation which is here so we set some parameters for a normal distribution and that's how we generated our first set of numbers okay so then if we calculate say the mean and the standard deviation so we're taking our generated numbers over here and inches and feet and picking up the mean and the standard deviation so let's see if i can do this i'm gonna open this up and then we've got our mean and standard deviation in inches the mean is simply the average so we would just be taking all of this data right here and then divided by the number or the count and then the standard and that's going to be this formula if you were to do that in excel standard deviation we're taking standard deviation of the sample standard div dot s and that's going to be all of this data in this formula and then we do the same thing for the feet the mean of the feet here average standard deviation of the feet of this data set we get to here now of course if i was to compare this data if i didn't know that there was a relationship and i look at those two i can take the difference between the mean and the standard deviation it's not going to tell me a whole lot right it's not going to tell me if there's really a correlation between them so the next thing we can do is we could say well what if we were to plot out the inches now note these are the inches data so if i took all of this data and made a histogram of it it looks like this so you can see that in this middle point you've got around 33 the top bit of it and that's around the mean that we generated the data set with and you can see that it looks somewhat like a bell shaped distribution with a lot of the data in the middle tapering off to either side that's because we put the information in there to give us a randomly generated numbers that would be around a bell shaped distribution giving excel the middle point the mean and the standard deviation to work with now if i did the same thing for the feet i can see i don't have the same buckets because now that middle the middle mean point is here but it looks similar so the fact that these two look kind of like a bell curve distribution does not necessarily mean that there's a correlation between them but that in and of itself if we plot these out themselves might give us some idea depending on the data set we're looking at of what is going on so that's just so we'll say hmm they both look like they've got like a bell shaped curve you know that is interesting and then we can then say what if I plot this out now you in order to look at the correlation you don't necessarily have to plot out if it was a bell curve but i want to take a look at the plotting it of a bell curve so that we can look at the bell curve data as well as the actual data in terms of the correlation so if we were to plot this out in terms of a perfect bell curve like we saw in prior sections we need the x and we need the z i'm sorry we need the x first and we need the lower point and the upper point so if we're thinking about inches you might say well i can go from zero on up to infinite amount of inches if i wanted to plot out say a normal distribution but it would be better it might be easier if i look at the range in terms of we usually use the four standard deviations because that would include a large amount of the range so if i was to calculate that i can get to the lower x and then the upper x so how can i do that i can say well the standard deviation is going to be if i look at over here the mean for the inches is 34 and the standard deviation is 16 so if i take 16.29 times four four standard deviations minus the 34.92 that's where i get this negative 30.24 and on the upper side i can go from 16.29 times four plus the 34 34.92 and i can plot out my x's from 30 around to 100 or so and i should have enough information to plot a graph and then i can do the same for the feet so on the feet side of things i could say okay the the mean is uh is that and the standard deviation is 1.36 times four four standard deviations minus the 2.91 that's going to give us our 2.53 about is going to be our lower point and then i can say and it's negative and then i can say okay let's take the 1.36 times four standard deviations above the mean plus 2.91 gives us that 8.34 okay so then if i was to plot this what do we have here that's my calculation so if i plot this i have my x's for inches at negative 30 going all the way up to if i have all the data pointed here 100 and then i can i can do my perfect distribution using my norm dot dist calculation which looks like this norm dot dist of the x this number the mean over here the standard deviation uh the standard deviation and the mean are over here and that's going to give us then our p of x so this is our p of x for the normal distribution and then i can calculate my z and the z is calculated as taking each number let's take a positive number it might be easier to calculate let's go let's do one down here so that we could see it a little bit more easily i can take like a positive number here and i'm going to say that's that one this one minus the mean and the mean is this 34.92 about divided by the standard deviation of 16.29 and that gives us the z of the 2.08 about and that z score becomes important when we're trying to be comparing two different data sets so so the z is kind of what we're focused in on here so there's the z and i can do the same thing for the for the feet so on the feet i have the feet from negative three up to eight and then i do the norm dot dist for the feet calculation norm dot dist the x the mean the standard deviation and it's not going to be cumulative and that'll give us our percentages and then we can take the z score for the feet let's look at this three feet for example i could take the three minus the mean which is over here of the 2.91 divided by the 1.36 and that gives us our 0.67 about so so there we have that and then okay so let's take a look at that in a second now just looking at this intuitively before we actually do the calculation for the correlation note if i was to look at these two data sets and kind of compare the z scores let's go down to this the positive numbers are easier to see if i look at this number 12 then i can't really compare that number 12 inches to the feet if i didn't know the conversion but what i could do is say well the z score is at the 1.41 and if i go over here and i look at the same uh z score 1.41 that correlates to one foot so i can compare these two right and i can do the next one i can say okay well what about if i go back up to here 24 has a z score of 0.67 right and i go all right over here if i look at 24 i have 24 is at the 0.67 z score i have a 2 so i can so you can see the pattern here of course by looking at the z score if i didn't know that there was that what the pattern was i can match up all the z scores and i can start to see you know what the difference is the conversion of you know the 12 feet to the inches so i can so i can then say okay i these are the z scores these are these uh two and i can look at the differences between the one and the 12 and the two and uh the 24 and i can start to see a pattern there and that's basically the z scores are basically a big part of what we're doing with the correlation so when we think about the correlation here's the formula for it which looks pretty kind of intimidating however what we're doing is we're taking the two z scores which is just what we did here we're taking each data point minus the mean divided by the standard deviation the z score for one of the two items minus the z score for the other multiple i'm sorry times the z score for the other multiplying the two z scores together we're doing that for each data point summing it up for each of the data points and the data sets and then we're dividing by n minus one because it's similar to like a sample situation so the n minus one which is the count of the data sets minus one so if i was to plot this then we can plot this out using a a excel i can just take our actual data sets let's go back on over to the actual data and if i was to just highlight these two columns here and insert a graph on it which is going to be the scatter then i would come up with i can come i would come up with something that looks somewhat like this where we have this perfectly positive correlation now when i highlight something in excel and input it the one on the left which in this case was the inches will automatically be the x and then the y is going to be the feet so you can see it's a perfectly positive correlation because as we increase the inches the feet increase in proportion and we have that perfectly sloping line and that's why we have the perfect positive correlation now note that you could because we're talking about a conversion here you might say okay well i'm not sure like what's the causal factor we might not always know like what should go on the x or the y you can look at it either way because you can see the feet over here as the feet goes up the inches go up so what is the driving factor you may not always know what the driving factor is and here's just a conversion so you can kind of flip it either way and see which one is going to be thought of as the driving factor but usually usually if we know we would put the independent variable on the x and then the dependent on the y if you were to flip this and say i want to flip it the other way around now i have the inches on the y and the feet on the x so you can do that in excel by just flipping that around so it's a little bit technical to kind of do that we'll do that in excel if you want to check that out you might imagine by doing that that you would go from a positive correlation to a negative correlation meaning you might think well it's going to be an upward sloping line and if i flip these two it's going to be downward sloping no it's still going to be an upward sloping line we still see it's going to be positively correlated so you know you could put either of these on on the axes and you're still going to end up with that basically the positive correlation okay so let's go and calculate this using this formula now and say let's calculate our correlation so to do that we're going to get the z and inches and and that'll be our first thing so we've got the this is going to be our inches now we want to get the z and inches now this is our actual data we are now not talking about the the perfect distribution over here we did this perfect bell curve distribution to compare the z's in a perfect distribution kind of situation now we're looking at our actual data same idea though we're going to be taking the z score of our actual data the first one being 16 it would just be the 16 minus the mean and the mean is over here at the 34 so minus 34.92 divided by the standard deviation that's going to be divided by 16.29 is the negative 1.6 uh hold on i did something i think i did something wrong let's do that again 16 minus the mean which is going to be minus 34.92 divided by standard d 16.29 1.16 so i maybe it must be rounding that is the difference here so yeah i think it's going to be a rounding difference because we rounded these inches down so but in any case there's that we'll do this in excel if you want to check it out there as well and then we do this for all of them we do that for the feet as well with our actual data same calculation we saw before but with the data uh i'm sorry there's the feet and then the z score would be taking each of these data points for the feet and giving us the z same kind of calculation and then this is multiplying out the two z scores of the two different data sets so now this is going to be the 1.19 times the 1.19 has given us the 1.41 so at this point then we've taken each of the data sets each of these points for each data set minus its respective mean and divided it by the standard deviation so now to get the numerator all we have to do is sum up this last column and we'll get this whole numerator so that's what we're doing over here we sum up the column we get to 309 that's this last column that's our numerator then we're going to be subtracting out or dividing the denominator which is n minus 1 n represents the count all the all the numbers in our data set there's 310 in this case and then less 1 less 1 minus 1 gives us the 309 here and then we got the numerator and denominator and if we divide out 309 divided by 309 we get to 1 which of course indicates that we have a perfectly positive correlation as we can see here with that perfect positive correlation so let's take a look at a way we can do that easier you can also do this with the data analysis toolkit and you can double check your numbers now notice that when you use the toolkit it's great because it'll give you it'll give you it'll kind of spit out the number but it's not dynamic because when you build something in excel you have the formulas and if your data change then you can change the cells with it so and it's also nice to actually map it out sometimes like this because that gives you an idea of the z-scores it'll give you a better understanding of the data so so oftentimes you might use the data analysis depending on what you're doing to give a precursor information before building a more comprehensive worksheet depending on whatever you're doing or in our case like we're doing here kind of like as a double check so if I was to do the data analysis and I go into this correlation in the data analysis then I enter the information here what we need is the input range that would be all of our data we have to have the data together to use this so this would be the the original data that we did over here these two these two columns of data that would be the range we put into the data analysis and then I would have to click this off if I chose the labels and then we tell excel where we want to output it and that's all we need to do and excel will give us this little table this one right here which is saying inches rounded and and feet so inches here feet here we have the one which represents the perfect correlation so the ones representing a perfect correlation so then I can also use the data analysis tool pack to spit out this kind of data as well which is going to be the descriptive statistics and so this gives us another look at all the data so all I would do here is select all of this data these two columns and then tell excel using this the analysis toolkit to give me the descriptive statistics again excel doesn't give me something that's dynamic meaning these cells won't change if we change if the data set changes but this is gives you some nice information to double check or to give a preliminary look at the data you're looking at which might help you to get an understanding or idea of what's going on so you can see the mean versus the mean the standard error the median the mode the standard deviation the sample variance not all of these we might talk more about them later but the kurtosis the skewness the range here's the maximum and the men and summing them up here's that count that we came to the 310 and the confidence level isn't something we're really focused on at this time but I just want to point out that tool because it could be a great tool to look at so so quick recap when we have two different data sets we might want to see if there's a mathematical relationship or correlation between them or the data points moving together in some way shape or form some tools we have to do that is a mathematical formula we can also see it pictorially by mapping out the information and usually we will not have this perfect correlation but we might see a trend in the data we can then draw the trend line which can help us to visualize whether or not there might be a relationship between the data sets now note in this particular data set we wanted to map out the original information randomly but using a normal distribution which means that each of our data sets have this kind of distribution that look like this this normal distribution that fact that it has a normal distribution remember doesn't necessarily mean that there's going to either be or not be a correlation to it but that allowed us to then think about a situation where we can map out the actual perfect or smooth bell curve using the norm dot dist function and then compare those z scores the z scores are kind of the key to the calculation those are the things that allow us to do the comparison as we can see in the formula here now in future presentations we'll do some more data sets which will not conform to say a bell curve for example and we could still have situations where there's a correlation between them


This research proposes a novel method using a Kinect V.2 camera and machine learning algorithms to detect Alzheimer's disease, AD. The proposed system was evaluated on a data set of 47 healthy controls, HC, and 38 AD patients. The system was able to accurately distinguish between the two groups with an average accuracy of 97.75% and an F score of 97.67%. This demonstrates the potential of this system as a low-cost and convenient AD assessment tool that can be used during routine checkups or even at home. Future studies should investigate the clinical diagnostic value of this system in a larger cohort. This article was authored by Mahmood Siafalahai, Afsun Hassani Marabin, James E.

Here we have the PowerCast and who are you? My name is Eric Beal, I'm a principal engineer with PowerCast. And I hear you're showing a whole bunch of e-ink devices right here. Yep. What is this? These are some products we've developed. This one here is a product called Vecora and like you said, there's ink screens in all of these. They're battery-powered products but the advantage is they use our lifetime power technology. I'm sorry. Is it breakproof? Yes. Well, yeah. Live test here. Yeah, so these are battery-powered products and they use ink screens and the advantage here is with our lifetime power technology and these will last for years on end. And the way this works is it pairs with an app that goes on your phone, whether it's iPhone or Android, and you can send images or text to this thing and hang it up as a picture or set as a picture on your... Your battery technology. What technology is in there that you do? So what's in here is what we call lifetime power technology. However, behind us you see wireless power, right? These are not wireless power. However, we've done wireless power for over 13 years. We've gotten pretty good at using that power efficiently. So we've spun off wireless power into these lifetime power products where we can get extremely long battery lifetimes in battery-powered products. So much longer than other... Much longer, yes. Like this will work for several years off of one battery charge and that's where the advantage of the ink screens come in. Bystable displays do not use power when you don't need to flash it. So many, many writes from the app to the screen with pictures and many years of lifetime. So how do you save the power? Is it like... Oh, that's a little secret. I can't tell you that. But that's... It's mostly off. It was mostly not using power. It's essentially being very efficient with the power you have and not using any more than you absolutely need to when you need to. So there's proprietary hardware and software that goes into these things to enable this long lifetime. So this is for... This is a huge market, the labels, right? Yeah. So luggage tags, factory settings where you're seeing if things have been done or not done. Or consumers. Like this is an example. I think this is a cheese soup recipe. So if you've ever tried to cook using an iPad, all that ends up happening is you smear food all over your screen. It's annoying. But this, you write whatever you want to the screen and now you have something that you don't have to worry about touching or getting dirty and you have your recipe right there. So a perfect example right there. And so power cast means wireless power and how does that work? Right. Like I said, we started wireless power. We've been doing wireless power for 13 years. So everything you're seeing on this table here does not have a battery in it. So you see these candy canes here? In the center of the candy cane, that's our chipset. That's what we buy or that's what we make. That's what we sell. And those things take RF energy and efficiently convert it into DC. So what you're seeing here is no batteries involved. The power's coming directly from an RF source and we have three on the table here. The one I'm holding is our 3W FCC approved transmitter. Here we have our one watt transmitter, much smaller version. Which one is powered by this one? It's all proximity based. So this is not only just powering here but it's also powered over here. Just like this one is not just powering here, it's also powering over here. Can we power this one off? We can power this one off. And you can see, we're still getting power to these devices over here. They get powered a little bit if you bring them closer a little bit. And if I move the transmitter closer or farther away, you get power. That's awesome. How many products in the market are using this technology? There's a lot. Most of our products have been based in the industrial sense. Lots of RFID tags, super tags where you want to do an RFID tag but you also want to sense something temperature or lighter humidity along with those. So these guys here are perfectly simple to that. This is a product we developed. This has temperature, light and humidity sensors built into it and an RFID tag. And the beauty is there is no battery in this. So this is a completely passive super tag. It's doing temperature... It's not a basic tag. It has more advanced features. Exactly. It has temperature sensing, humidity sensing and light level sensing built into one tag without a battery. And that's the key. So any low power sensing application where maybe you're using a coin cell is a perfect opportunity to replace that coin cell with our technology. So it's... But only sensing while it gets near this point? Yes. So that's the disadvantage here. And these will work up to 30 feet from an RFID reader. And these are all working at 915 megahertz. So that's a pretty far range. But you still might not always be in the presence of an RFID reader. So that's why we have something like this. So this guy is showing battery recharging. So every time you see this LED flash, we're putting a chunk of energy back into this rechargeable battery. So if you did have a tag or an application that had a coin cell on it and you wanted to recharge it, you can use our stuff to do that as well. You save the cost. You send someone around to change batteries. So that's sort of the advantage and what PowerCast can do. And you have an e-ink here. So this is a concept product we developed with e-ink and we developed e-ink's development kit for them. But what you have here is an e-ink screen. And what this is is basically a wireless price tag. So what happens is you use your RFID reader, you say, I want my price to be $1999.99. That data gets written into the memory of the RFID chip that's on board. And our circuitry is in here as well. So our circuitry takes the energy from the RFID reader, powers up a microcontroller which grabs the data out of the tag and then writes the screen. And then the advantage of having the e-ink screen is once it's written it takes no power to maintain. So you can go hang this on your shelf and it will maintain that state forever. You never have to replace the battery. You don't have to send anyone around to do that. And if you wanted to reset the price, you just bring it back to your RFID reader or use a handheld one and you can do it again. You just walk around the store. Yeah, you punch in what you want, your price tag to beach. Hit it with the RFID reader. Done. Each tag has an ID. Each tag has an ID. Yep. Standard RFID tag just like any other one. The only advantage is now you have higher functionality with it. All right.


Hey guys, it's Jen from iCreateCrafts. In today's video, I will be showing you step-by-step how to create card decals I will leave all the supplies in the description below and as always if you have any questions Please leave them below and I will get back with you right away These were so much fun and so easy to create and only took a couple minutes to do these So stick along and I'll show you how to do it Hey guys, so I am so excited to show you this video It's going to be a quick and fast and easy tutorial for you guys So I am making card decals So I purchased these either from design bundles or Etsy and I will leave the links below in case you're interested in them I've made quite a few these are ready and I absolutely love how they turned out You can change them to any color you want any size you want the possibilities are endless, but they are so much fun So really the only thing with this first one with these ladies heads and with the mom life You can either choose to add this together with it or you can leave it alone So I have this this is just the head part and then I also purchased this one mom life separately So what I do is actually put them together like this and then I'll grab both of them and I'll align it Like that but sometimes I don't really like how it looks aligned So I'm just gonna pull it over a little bit So since I already have this file I'm gonna select this one and hit the duplicate button and I'm just gonna do another one over here But now I'm gonna finish this one up grab this and then attach it so that when it cuts out it will cut out as you see it So I'm gonna do the same thing with this one And if you wanted to change the color you can want to do that beforehand So I'm actually gonna make this one a holographic one. So just for the purposes of video I'm gonna turn change it to purple and then I'm gonna do this one as well just to purple Just because then when I cut it out I remember I wanted to do holographic so you can move this wherever you want it and again You can select both go to the align button and then center it But then I don't really think it looks too centered So I just move this over a little bit more and then the last thing to do is just select both and then push Attach and then that is how it's going to cut out. So all of these are done already I'm just gonna cut this one out in the holographic I think that looks pretty cool and then the last thing you want to do with this is just change the size It all depends on what you want it for Or where you want to put it I'm actually gonna be selling these So I'm gonna do a couple different sizes. I'm gonna do like four by four three by three kind of different sizes So just do that you want to select what you have click the unlock box up here And then you can change it to be whatever you want. So I'm just gonna do a four by four And it doesn't always have to be exact four by four. You can always just take the Four arrows and kind of pull it Like that so I'm gonna leave this one the way it is I'm gonna do the same thing with this one just unlock it and then change it to whatever you want So I'm gonna do four and a half By four and a half and we'll see what that looks like So that one looks good to me So I think I'm gonna do this one four and a half as well So just unlock it and then change it to whatever you want it to be And then just this last one really quick just to get it over with I Just like I'm all four and a half by four and a half. It looks pretty good that way I think I'm actually gonna change this one to be the same exact so when I Go ahead and cut them out and then I put a price on it I can price reference it with the size So these are done right now and then this one I thought was kind of funny My husband actually does this in a car in the car lot. So I think it's kind of funny He's sitting next to me. He doesn't think it's very funny But so yeah, the same thing with this one actually kind of like the size of it But I'm just gonna make it more even instead of the six point four by the three point seven I think I'm actually gonna change it to be like maybe six by four So I'll unlock it and then just change it to be a six by four It's just a little bit easier when you're cutting things out to have it a rounded size And then this one is ready attached So I don't have anything to do with this one and then this one I've found on Etsy I believe so I will leave the link below to this and I think I'm gonna do the same thing four and a half by four and a Half but again, you can change it to whatever size you want Whatever you're going to be putting it on you can change it to be whatever it is This one does come out as one whole piece So unfortunately, you can't change the skull color with the words here. So I'm actually gonna just do Black and white with these I'm gonna duplicate this. I select this. I'm gonna put the duplicate button I'm gonna do one black and then I'm gonna do one white.  I'm gonna do one black and then one white and Then for whatever color you want these like I said, I'm gonna do this one holographic I think I'm actually gonna do another one holographic. So I'm gonna change it to purple So that I know that when it comes to the purple ones, I'm gonna use holographic and then I think I'm actually gonna change this to be white Just to make it a lot easier with just the colors we have here So everything is finished. They're all resized or colored the way I want it to be the next thing you want to do is just go To make it Then it's gonna show it to you what it looks like on here What I like to do is just spread them out a little bit so I can take my Scissors and cut in between and then also if your vinyl has grids on the back I would suggest going and putting them directly on the grid Just if you're gonna sell these it makes it look a little bit nicer if you have the the lines behind it I'm actually gonna pull this down a little bit further so I can have a little bit more extra room in between them So when I cut it out, I can have the nice grid paper on the on the back So I'm gonna do the same thing with these ones a little bit harder to see but again Just moving them apart and then able to use the grid behind it Same thing here. You don't have to do this But again, it just makes it look nicer if you have the grid paper So I'm gonna push continue one last time It's connecting to a my maker machine that I have and then I'll show you which setting that I use Okay, here's so here's my base materials when I'm using just regular stencil vinyl This is what I use here the stencil vinyl one if I'm using like the heat transfer one I always use this one heat transfer non-cricut. It's just what works for me really well so I'm going to actually be using this one the stencil vinyl one here and then you want to make sure you have a very sharp fine point blade in and then you put your Vinyl on your mat and then what I like to do is use my scraper and actually scrape my vinyl down really well on my mat Just kind of helps adhere it better So I'm gonna go ahead and cut all three of these out and then I will show you what it looks like And if you're interested in any of the vinyl I use I will leave that down below as well I'm using new holographic vinyl and this is going to be the first time I'm using it I got it from a new company So I'll let you guys know how it works and where I got it from but I'm gonna finish this up I'll weed it out and then I'll show you what the next step is Okay, so I said I was gonna skip this process But I had a couple of you ask how I do the weeding process so you can skip forward if you know how to do this already But I'm just gonna show you I don't know how well it shows up right now. My lighting in here is not the best I'm sorry But this is the new Vinyl that I received from a company and I'm going to leave the link below and show you how it weeds and all that I will be honest with you when I cut my stuff out I forgot to transfer or change the settings to Holographic so please make sure you do that I had on regular vinyl and it did not cut all the way through so I had to go back and do a second cut So here it is here. I really love the color of this vinyl. I really wish it would show up better I'm gonna show you what they sent me and I'm gonna be honest with you and show you how it well it weeds I've never used this before I've used holographic in the past and I've done really well These are some of the ones that I already made before So this is the mom life one and then this is the help dad far. Oh, I'm missing that. Oh my gosh guys I'm missing that fun there. So I have to go back and get that one But it says help dad forward. We can't get out. I thought that was really cute But I did not realize I was missing that so I have to go back and cut that and then another mom life one Just in white so I have a few of these cut out already and I wanted to show you I've never used this I actually found it in my stash. It's just like a cutting Board on here basically so this is let's see the fiskers kind I know that cricket sells these but I actually totally forgot about this until I looked in my stash And I'm like, oh my gosh, I'm gonna try it So it's gonna be a lot easier cutting this out rather than using the scissors and trying to figure it out So I'm just going to lay this in here And I'm gonna try to show you the best way that I can with the video my setup in here is not Perfect yet. So I'm hoping you guys can see this. I'm just actually change the Thing quick here Maybe this way you guys can see a little better. Don't mind my mess back here. Please please ignore that So I'm just put it in here and there's a little line here where you can see where it's gonna cut So I'm trying to save some of the vinyl I don't want to have a whole bunch of vinyl overlapping and I want to make sure there's enough on the end that we can Put the transfer tape over it and let the people put it on there So again, I'm going with the line here. I've never used this before. I'm actually really excited to see how it cuts out So I'm just gonna take it and pull it Go again, and it seems like you cut really well. So fingers crossed we will see. Oh My gosh. Yay. Okay, so that actually did really amazing rather than using my scissors and trying to figure out where to go Because like I said before some of them have a good paper in the back Some of them don't this one does not so I would have had a heck of a time with the scissors trying to figure out Where the center was so now I can just make another cut and Do the same thing so I'm just going in the middle now and I'm gonna use the grid on the Cutter itself to make sure it's nice and straight Wow guys, this is amazing I'm gonna find this for you and I'm gonna leave a link below and I do again This isn't the cricket brand so it might be a little bit cheaper But I've had this for so long and I totally forgot about it. So Wow that is so much easier and it definitely works out a lot better So here's this one and then here's this one and I can also go on here and cut this a little bit of vinyl off But I'm just gonna leave it the way it is and then I will show you the weeding process I hope you guys can see this on camera a little bit better But I'm just going to weed this out So the way that I do it is I buy these cheap little weeders from Harbor Freight rather than buying the cricket brand If you guys watch my channel, you know, I hate the cricket brand I'm sorry. The only thing I like about cricket is their machines. I'm gonna move this again really quick. Sorry There might be a little bit easier for you to see what I'm doing. But again, I bought these at Harbor Freight I think it was 2.99 and you got six of them and they come in different Pieces I like the ones that have a little hook on it makes a little bit easier So I'm just gonna show you really quick So I'm just grabbing an edge up at the top here and then I'm just pulling it back again You guys probably know how to do this already But just for those of you who are new and you're not sure how to do it. This is how I do it So I just start with the outer pieces first Making sure I get all the pieces Sorry, I'm trying really hard to stand in camera range here It's hard for me to see and do this at the same time.  Oh my gosh. I said access guys.  I know people have like little Garbage cans and little things that stick on your fingers and stuff to use these I just use my fingers and I grab the pieces when I pull them up and I just put them right in my finger I don't see a use for extra money being spent maybe and The future I'll do it. But as of right now, I just am used to just using my finger Just like that. I don't know what you guys think you have something to take stuff off like this So should I invest in something? I don't know. So here is what it looks like so far Then I'm just gonna keep going in. I don't know if it shows up well on camera But there's just little pieces here. So I'm just taking out all these little tiny pieces and leaving everything else behind Like I said, this is a new vinyl to me. I've never used this holographic vinyl. I really love it I'm being honest with you if I didn't like it. I would be honest with you guys and tell you I didn't like it I'm actually going on my computer. I'm gonna see what the name was called really quick But I've never used this company before they sent me some and I really really do like it. So it's called HTV I guess it's called HTV runt HTV r-o-n-t vinyl Kind of a different name, but yeah, I really like this stuff Like I said, I will be I will always be honest with you guys if I like something if I don't like something if it works Really well, this is weeding really really well this I love this vinyl. I would definitely highly recommend this company This is the first time I'm using their vinyl, but I really do love it It seems to be you know, it's weeding it really really well here and it seems to be really good quality as well So I will leave the link in case you're interested in this below But I just wanted to show you guys really quick the weeding process of it It's kind of weird my finger here, but like I said, I don't use a lot of extra things I just use whatever I have on hands, but so far so good. It's working out really well Just gonna take one of these bigger pieces off here, but again, this is weeding absolutely amazing I love this stuff. I'm definitely gonna go back again And like I said, they gave me so many colors to choose from and it's not expensive at all So I will leave the link below and I'm gonna finish this up I just have a few pieces in the glasses here that I'm gonna finish up I don't think I have one that has glasses, but here's the other mom one that I did and Here's another HD up here. It is here's the glasses.  So I'm gonna finish this one up You guys know how to do this now. So this is a weeding process if I missed anything else that you guys want to see Please let me know I did get a comment from somebody saying, you know, you say your step by step But you left the weeding out. So I apologize for that. I didn't realize that people wanted to watch me weed But this is how you do it And if you know how to do it, please fast-forward it and go to the next step But I'm having a lot of fun with this and after I'm done with this I'm gonna actually do another video showing you how to package these if you want to sell them So that's gonna be a whole new video You want to stay tuned for that because these are really really great sellers? I'm gonna go ahead and put Some transfer tape on here bear with me one second So I have this dollar store transfer tape which works amazing But lately I've been seeing that when I pull it off. It has some sort of weird residue on it So I'm gonna show you hang on one second So I bought a huge roll of transfer tape. I'm trying to show you guys here We go it was huge and this is such great transfer tape. It doesn't have the backing lining on it So once you put it down, that's it and it also doesn't have the grids on it Which I kind of like to be honest with you. So I'm just gonna go ahead actually I'll show you So I'm just gonna take some off here So move my stuff over and I'm gonna work with this first one So all I'm gonna do whoops and then guys I see one little piece here I forgot kind of jump in the gun getting all excited to show you about all this stuff And I forgot one little piece here. There we go. So all done perfect. So and then I'm just gonna take my transfer tape and Just go right over it And then I could take that nifty little Cutter thing again. I'm sorry. I'm so close guys This is not the best place for me to be doing a video But I wanted to show you guys step-by-step what it looks like So now I'm just gonna take my scissors and I'm gonna follow the line Where I had it before where I already cut it so I can go right on the edge and then I'll get a really good nice straight line Yep, so just like that So that's how I do my transfer tape. Then I'm just gonna take a squeegee Which I have one right here And just imagine it's all cut all cut around the edges, right? So I'm just gonna take my squeegee And rub it in really really well just like this That's all you have to do and make sure you get all the bubbles out make sure it's nice and sticky to it Right, so I'm finished with these decals. Here's this one help dad find it See I put the f in here so I fixed it and then this is the other Holographic one and another holographic and then this one you're probably not gonna see too well But this is the best Something husband ever I'm not saying that So I thought these are really cute and I just want to show you so here is the Backing on it So you just want to make sure that when you are going to sell this if you are that you just want to squeegee it really well So that the vinyl goes on to the transfer tape, but I just wanted to show you that's what they look like when they are finished I have a whole bunch of them finished But for the next segment the next video I'm going to be doing is I'm gonna show you how to package these So I put these in a bag that I bought from Amazon I put my little business card in here and then also how to apply your decal So then I have the other part in here. Here is the mom life one And then I also did some other smaller ones But I think I'm gonna get a smaller bag for these ones So here's the little one that goes on your car. I'm like you can put like on your Gas can area, but then again here's how to apply a decal and then I also put my Business card in here in case someone wants it, but that is gonna be the next video I'm gonna show you guys how to create these they are so simple to make but I used a whole bunch of different colors of it Just to make it kind of fun putting it into the bag. So again here is the last part I really love how these turned out. So you can't really see that one too. Well, but I'm definitely going to be making more I'm gonna be putting these in the two stores that I'm in and also putting it on my blog as well I create crafts comm so if you're interested in any of these or you need help with anything Please let me know give me a thumbs up and hit the subscribe button if you like this video I really hope it helps you out. I had a lot of fun with these and I hope you do too. Happy crafting everyone


22nd of December and it's our last day on site before the Christmas break it's too cold to lay. Here's Liam, it's about, I bet it's still zero here, so all that's tidied up. Now we're going on the G-deck, it's Brian, Neil, that's Alex, that's the one. There's Will, say hi Will. So you're going up here and you're going on time, that's why we get this G-deck up, going right across the whole lot. So all this is coming out, G-decks going right across. So it's going to be great. Music playing


And whenever you come to a city and the world and you meet bright people, most of them come from the London School of Economics. They have studied there, they have learned there. The head of the Deutsche Bank in Istanbul, of course, she has studied at the London School of Economics. Well, I have not studied at the London School of Economics, which is a pity, therefore I'm not a banker. But I have the great honour to ask Howard Davis, the head of this wonderful university, to give a speech now. Well, thank you, Wolfgang. By the way, it's never too late to start. We do have some mature students in the school, and I'm sure you might qualify. Talk to me afterwards about your CV. Well, good morning, Mr Chairman, Ambassador, professors, ladies and gentlemen. It's my role to welcome you here on behalf of the LSE to the ninth, as Joachim said, and latest urban age conference. Cats have only nine lives, but we hope that the urban age will have more since we have recently renewed our collaboration with Deutsche Bank and will be going to other places after this, including Chicago next year. There are some new faces here, of course, but some old hands or addicts, as Joachim and rather disobligingly called them, perhaps. But some of them, of course, know a lot more about the urban age than I do, but let me just say a word or two about the collaboration we have with Deutsche Bank and then a word or two about what we aim to achieve here in Istanbul. I thought it was a great occasion last night, by the way, and very much congratulations to Deutsche Bank on the initiative of these awards for local NGOs, private credentials, which you might call them, which we introduced only, this is only the third time we've done that. I really do think that adds a lot to this conference and connects it with real life on the ground in the cities we visit. At the event last night, Joachim and said that the LSE brought the brains and Deutsche Bank the money, which is very flatter. It's completely accurate, of course, but there were, at times, in 2008, when, frankly, we wondered whether you would still have the money given what was happening in financial markets. But the fact that Deutsche Bank do still have the money after those very difficult times for any financial institution shows that they must also have some brains as well. Indeed, they have one particular brain, which is their Chief Risk Officer Hugo Banziger, who managed them through this crisis, who is, of course, an LSE alumnus. Now, on Monday of this week in London, Peter Mandelson, who some of you will know for his role in European Commission, but who now, among other things, is responsible for universities in the United Kingdom, published a paper in which he emphasised the crucial importance of universities linking up with businesses. And I think that this collaboration with Deutsche Bank is a model of what can be done when there is a consonance of objectives and a commonality of interest. And the urban age is, in fact, just one of the collaborations with Deutsche Bank we have. Another one, in fact, is on risk management, where the bank funded a chair in risk management and recruits a lot of people from that programme. Now, the purpose of the urban age venture will become clear over the next two days. It's based on a belief that many of the problems which global cities face are similar, and that the people who are addressing those problems will benefit from bouncing ideas off each other in a structured environment. There are many global conferences between countries or between banks, but actually relatively fewer, which bring together city bosses, city mayors and others responsible for managing services in cities. And there are even fewer that do so with the academic community and those who have researched these issues across the world, also part of the debate. And that, we hope, is the unique selling proposition of this venture. Istanbul is the latest in the series. You'll see around the magnificent room, I'm not sure if you can call it a room, but a magnificent space we're in, the other cities that we have been to. And as Joachim referred to, this is the ninth. For the Americans, this will be satisfying because nine players make up a baseball team. For the Europeans, at least two more are necessary to make a proper sports team. But this is, I think, a terrific place for this latest conference. I've been to Istanbul several times myself, I couldn't say I knew it intimately, but when I was 50, my wife asked me where I would like to go and she would take me somewhere for my birthday weekend. Sorry, I see some shocked faces who are astonished that I shouldn't be as old as 50, but I am. And my choice was, in fact, Istanbul, and we came here with our two sons and had a terrific weekend. And it was improved by the fact that a very old university friend of mine, called Philip Mansel, had just written a kind of biography of the old city called Constantinople, which is a very good book if you haven't read it. And in it, he refers to all the different names by which Istanbul has been known. He lists Constantinople, Istanbul, Islambol, Istanbul, Istanbul, Kushta, Constantinopolis, Sarigrad, Rumia Alcubra, New Rome, New Jerusalem, the City of Saints, the House of the Caliphate, the Gate of Happiness, the World Police, or just the city. So, perhaps we should have started our sessions in the city, but it's certainly appropriate that we are here. Mansel's portrait of Constantinople is not an exclusively romantic picture. He talks of the huge wealth generated here, not all of it through entirely straightforward means. And indeed, quotes an old Turkish proverb, he who holds the honeypot is bound to lick his fingers. Perhaps we might reflect on that over the next couple of days. He ends on a rather downbeat note, unless there is a relocation of industry, he says, to the provinces, or an entrance tax, the city cannot survive. Well, it continues to survive and indeed continues to prosper. It's a place in which the contradictions of modern life are confronted and addressed. Turkey, I think, does play a crucial role at present at the intersection of civilizations. It's a country which particularly interests the LSE, and to mark that interest, just a couple of years ago, we established a chair of the Turkish Contemporary Studies, which is held by Sefke Pamuk, who is here and will be co-chair in the first session with us. So we have decided to make Turkey a particular focus of interest in the school, because many of the issues that are underlying a lot of the tensions in the modern world come together, I think, in Turkey, the role of Islam, the relationship between Islam and other religions, the relationship between the Middle East and Europe, all of them can be looked at through the prism of Turkey and indeed Istanbul is at the centre of that debate. So I think there is an added dimension over and above the city management issues which the urban age addresses, which comes to us by being here in this great city. So thanks to Deutsche Bank for their continued support and thanks, of course, to those in Istanbul, in the city government and elsewhere who have come together to work with us on this project and I hope that you all have a fascinating couple of days. Thank you.
