Hey everyone, welcome. Give you a minute to get settled. Thanks for joining me on a Wednesday night, so close to a holiday in the US, right? So we'll be here for about 45 minutes. The beginning, I will use the time to share a technique with you and we'll practice a little bit together. And then you can ask me questions that might come up. So this class is actually part of a course that I'm teaching, which is a set of eight exercises to nurture career contentment. And career contentment is when you feel, well, everyone describes it differently. You know it when you have it. But really when you have a feeling of belonging and ease and joy in your career. And these are some exercises to comfort it and to nurture that. And so in the class, I teach eight different practices and this is the first one. But I wanted to share, yeah, to share it. It is a technique that you could walk away from tonight with, with this one technique and you could walk away with this one technique and it would be enough really to create a month on this practice for the rest of your life. And I'll even give you some ideas on how you can do that for yourself. Yeah, in the last, I've been meditating for about, I don't know, 15 years. And this one I will focus on for maybe a month. I think there was a time when every, I think I did it for three months straight, 30 minutes a day in this technique. And it's lovely because it's a great one for beginners, very accessible, but it also as you kind of deepen your practice and as you have some more tranquil experiences, it can support that as well. And it's a really easy one to take off the cushion, off the seat, it's one that you can bring into your work life too. So we're gonna do longer practice today and I'll give you some ideas on how you might use it in your work life. Okay, and so I'm gonna explain a little bit about how to do the process and then we'll do it. So this technique is called C here, feel. It was developed by Shenzhen Yang and the unified mindfulness system is based off of all of his teachings. Shenzhen's cool because he studied a lot of meditation and looked at all the different, religions and meditation styles and found what was common in each and realized that really what we're trying to develop is mindfulness and mindfulness is really three skills. It's concentration, so being able to concentrate on what you wanna concentrate on when you wanna concentrate on it, right? So focus, second, sensory clarity, so being aware of what sensory experiences we're having and it's kind of wild if you haven't done a practice like this of like, oh, all the things that we tune out, right? And that we're not aware of. And sometimes we don't need to be aware of everything, right? But sometimes we do and we find ourselves lost or missing out on things, cues from other people. And then the third skill it builds is equanimity, which is the ability to actually just be here in the present to not be wanting to be dreaming about the future or dwelling on the past but being right here right now with what's happening. What I think is really cool about those three skills is when I first learned about them, I went, well, those are the skills you need to be a great storyteller. If you wanna be a great storyteller, you need to be able to focus on what you wanna focus on when you wanna focus on it. Today, my daughter went to an audition at school and she said about halfway through the script, she's like, yeah, I just kind of zoned out and lost myself and I was like, yeah, a lot of people do that. They'll be doing a presentation, they'll be at an interview, they'll be in a networking conversation and you might even be talking, but your mind isn't there, right? So to be a great storyteller, to have concentration, to know where to put a strategic pause in the story and to know which parts you've already told and not get lost, super important. Not to say those filler words, right? You need concentration for that, sensory clarity. So you can be aware of what gestures your body is making, what you are feeling, but also being able to read other people, right? Because when we tell stories, we're not just telling stories too, you know? An audience that automatically loves us or we're just telling a story to one person and so we have to be aware of what's going on even with that other person and we can see that and feel that and hear that and equanimity, right? So being able to just be in the moment of the story, yeah, and accept if it flops or not, right? With grace, because storytellers tell, you know, but take risks. So these are skills that work for both feeling great in careers and for your storytelling terms. Okay, so this is how we do the method. Basically, we've got three areas where we can have sensory experiences. We can see things, right? So if you're in a room right now, well, you'll see me on the computer, but you can see things, you can hear things and you can feel them. And within those, we have an inner and an outer so we can see, you know, the room that we're in, the space that we're in, we can hear the room that we're in, the space that we're in and we can feel, you know, our bodies, you know, the ache in our foot, you know, the itch on our elbow. We can also have inner experiences of those and those inner experiences are actually the ones that affect our careers and affect our storytelling ability more than anything, I think. And so we all have, and maybe you wanna try and find it, we all have in terms of, see, we have a mental screen.  And in a minute, we'll check and see if there's anything playing, you know, on that screen, but we have this mental screen where often we'll actually be playing out scenarios that happened before or imagining scenarios that are gonna happen and we're making movies in our minds and not even aware of it. So we're gonna see what's playing in our mental screen. We're gonna listen. We have an inside space, right? So usually it's around where your ears are and it's where you'll hear yourself talking to yourself. You might be replaying conversations. You might be planning conversations, but you have this inner talk space. And then we have the inner emotional space, right? So emotions that we can feel. So in this technique, we are going to pay attention to what we can see here and feel. First we'll go external, then we'll go internal. We'll do each one for a couple of minutes and then we'll come back as a group and you can ask me any questions that you have about it and I'll give you some tips on how you could use this in your day-to-day work life to feel a bit more content. Cool. So let's get ourselves first into a comfortable position. Generally a comfortable, like I don't know what you're sitting on, if you're sitting on a cushion, cool, that's great. If you're sitting on a chair, you, to support, best support this, I would invite you to bring your body towards the front of the chair so that your feet can be flat and let's lengthen our spine, lengthen your neck, almost like there's an invisible string that is pulling you up and then we're going to relax our forehead, relax the space behind your eyes, relax your jaw, relax your shoulders and we want to be in a position where we are alert, yeah, relaxed and we're gonna begin with C so I invite you to look around the room in which you're in or the space in which you're in and notice when something grabs your attention. So when there's an object that you go, oh yeah, that's what I wanna look at, just let your eyes find that and when they've found something that they've noticed, you're gonna note it, which is just noticing that, hey, my attention is on that and we're gonna label it C and a label is just, it helps build our concentration but we're gonna say the word C, either out loud or in our heads for as long as our focus is on that object and then if your attention gets pulled to another object that you see in the room, you'll stop, note it and label it C and when you're labeling, you can keep saying the label over and over again, so like this, my attention is drawn to a lamp right now, I'm noticing that I'm looking at the lamp and I'm gonna label it C, C, C, so like that. So look around the room that you're in and when you notice something, note it and label it and we'll go for two minutes and if you get distracted by sounds or other thoughts, just let that be in the background or I mean focus right now is noticing where your attention is drawn visually, noting that and labeling it C. You might be drawn from one object to another or focus on the same object the whole time. They all work, just use whatever is naturally happening. Beautiful, all right, let's move from that and that is called C out and you could use that as, you could do a whole 10 minute practice just on C out but let's move into here out, so now I invite you in for this one, you can close your eyes or open them, whatever works but what sounds do you hear in the room or space in which you're in, what do you hear? And when you notice a sound, note it and label it here and you can use a spoken label by repeating here in a matter of fact, even tone like this. Here, here, here.  What sounds do you hear in the space or room in which you're in and labeling it here and if there's no sound in the room or space that you're in, you can enjoy that. If you like the idea of using a label, you can label that rest and just pay attention to the nuances of quietness. Now let that go and we're gonna come to our bodies. So now pay attention and your eyes can be open or closed, whatever works for you. Pay attention to any sensations that you might be having in your body and when you notice them or notice it, label it feel. So it might be a pain in your hip, it might be relaxed shoulders. What do you notice within physical sensations you're noticing and when you notice them, note it and label it feel and try that for two minutes and it can be really subtle. It doesn't need to be a big, a big deal. Even a subtle feeling can be labeled feel and if you get pulled away by sights or sounds, let that be in the background and bring your focus to your physical body. Every time you bring yourself back to your object of focus, you're building concentration, so that's great. What do you feel, what physical sensations do you feel in your body? Label them feel. Beautiful, now I'll let that go and we're gonna move on into the inner space. So remember I said we have see, hear, feel, those three categories, but we have inner and outer, right? So we just did the outer, it's see out, hear out, feel out. Now we're gonna try see in.  People just see kind of wiggly lines or pixelations or light, that doesn't count as see, that's just your mental screen. You can just enjoy the blank screen and if an image comes up, note it and label it see. We'll do this for another minute. See in and if you are hearing or feeling anything else, let that be in the background and bring your attention just to what is happening on your mental screen right now and you can let that go and now bring your attention to your inner talk space. So that space in between or close to your ears and notice if you hear any activity in that talk space so are you hearing yourself, talk to yourself, are you replaying any conversations and if you are, don't worry about the content. The content doesn't matter. Just notice that there's activity in that space and label it here. Let's go for two minutes. What's happening in our talk space and if there's nothing, that's great. Just enjoy that there's nothing there and if there's lots, that's great too. We'll label it here and if there's external sounds or thoughts, just let them be in the background and bring your focus to just paying attention to what's going on in that talk space. We're going to do the last exercise which is feel in. So now bring attention to your body and notice if you're feeling any emotions right now and if you are feeling any emotions, you can label those feel and you don't need to judge them. If you're feeling bored or challenged or annoyed or maybe you're feeling relaxed and happy, it doesn't matter what you're feeling. We're just labeling it feel and we'll go for a minute or two. Feel in and notice where it is in your body and notice if it stays still or if it moves and label it feel. Beautiful and I can open your eyes and come back to us. So I'll tell a little bit about the practice and how you might use it. So you could just, you could do this sequence as a 10 minute sequence, right? You could do see out and see in and hear out and hear in and feel out and feel in and you could do that for 10 minutes a day. Actually, I think the most recent science has said 12 minutes a day of mindfulness training will build those skills. But another study showed that if you did that just doing these exercises on the cushion and then not letting them influence anything in your life doesn't always change much. So another thing that you could think about if one of these was really easy for you to access like maybe see out or feel in was really accessible and you were like, yeah and you didn't get distracted at all. Think about where you could use that in your work day. So could you before, you know I don't know what you do for a living but before you make a phone call that you're stressful about or you're stressed about or before you do a presentation could you do a short practice of just a minute of see out or hear in, right? Oftentimes another technique that another way that you can do it is that if you're in a conversation with someone and you start to feel annoyed or like you might want to snap at them you could also just kind of go, hey what am I hearing? What am I, what's my self talk? Or what am I envisioning? What's my mental screen showing me? And notice if there's things that are popping up in that and instead of letting them rule your actions you know notice like, oh, see, see and you wouldn't say that out loud but think about some opportunities of weaving in either this whole practice or a part of this practice into your work day. What it builds, doing this practice on a daily basis doing those micro hits is it builds concentration sensory clarity and equanimity. I'll talk a little bit about that and then I'll, I want to answer your questions but the concentration, so if you were doing this I know when I first started I would be like, yes I can see an object and then I'd be thinking about something else and then I'd be reminded of, oh yeah you're supposed to be looking at something. Every time your mind wanders is actually great. Use it, it allows you to go no I want to be concentrating on here. And the more that happens some people judge that happening it's not like our brains are just doing what they're supposed to do.  And every time you bring it back without judgment you're actually building equanimity. You're not getting distracted and then judging yourself about getting distracted and then telling yourself a story about you can't do this. If you just bring it back with no judgment you're building concentration, equanimity and then you build the sensory clarity because you start to be able to break up experiences in a way that they have less of a hold on you. Yeah, so we have about 15 more minutes here. Wondering if you have any questions for me about this practice about how to use it in your career or if anyone wants to share an experience they had while doing this whether it was pleasant or unpleasant I would love to I'm here love to answer your questions or give advice. And I know I'm seeing YouTube comments I'll see if there's anything on LinkedIn that's not coming through here. I just see myself looking at my messages. How is that experience? Okay, so someone said, great. It was so calming and I enjoyed participating live. Beautiful. Which for the tourist, which of the six was the most calming for you? I appreciate it. Thank you. Yeah, tourist, which was calming to you. I find the easiest one for me to access is here out, you know. Feel is the most calming. Yeah, beautiful. Yeah, and I love that it was calming for you. If there's someone who did this and it wasn't calming for you, that's okay too. You're still like I think if we think of mindfulness as it needs to be calm and peaceful, we're setting ourselves up for failure because sometimes it's not.  Sometimes it's, your mind is wandering. You're always bringing yourself back. But if you think about mindfulness as in you're building concentration, sensory clarity and equanimity, it doesn't matter if it's calming or not, right? If it's calming and you get a positive experience, well, you're more likely to do it. So that's always great. But it doesn't, if you didn't get that today, it doesn't mean that you're not good at this. You're just, you're real. So one person said that they found see out the most difficult because they found it hard for them to focus and they're very distracted. Yeah, that was me my first time too. And here, feel were much easier having my eyes closed, feel more natural and I appreciated you walking us through those. Beautiful. So that's actually insight, right? That's an insight to go. The hardest one to do was see out. So you know that if you wanna do a really challenging practice and you're like, I really wanna build my concentration skills today, you could do see out for five minutes and it may not be enjoyable and you'll always have to bring yourself back. But that would be a skill builder. If you woke up and went, I wanna do a practice that is feels more ease or more full of ease, that's less of a challenge or maybe I could go deeper into it. You could choose the ones that work for you, right? And everyone is different. So I love that. Yeah, Nola saying hear out is more accessible and calming. Susan is, I love the sea and how, and I've used it to ground me in the now. Yeah, the sea for grounding, like if you'll have, again, I think about like work tasks that used to make me nervous. So I would think about, I don't like to make phone calls. So if I had to make a phone call, even grounding yourself in see out and like, what can I see on my desk? C, C, C coming down to the present and then making that phone call and then after the phone call, C, C, C. So you can use these to ground yourself in the present with work tasks, right? Yeah, beautiful. Yeah, someone said feel isn't the easiest. I think, yeah, feel. I've been teaching this for a while, but feel like here in sea are, I think most of us know we have an inner talk space and most of us know, not everyone knows about their mental screen, but because we do love seeing and hearing, paying attention to our bodies or paying attention to our emotions and just labeling them without letting them change us. Absolutely, it's not an easy thing to access. Someone said, I think looking was the most calming because I felt like I knew how to do it. Yes, that's a perfect, that's a great reason, right? Like I spent, I don't know, 13 years dabbling in a bunch of different meditation methods and then I heard Shenzhen teach this one and it was the first time that I went, oh, I think I can meditate. So yeah, right? It's a beautiful, that's beautiful if you know how to do it, that's great. Someone said, yeah, they found the inner emotions, the best in relaxing, that's great. If you know paying attention to your emotions is something that you can do that's calming, that's, then you can ground yourself in it, right? Here out was the easiest. I was surprised at how much I could hear my own heartbeat with feel out, yeah, and it made you feel very alive. Oh, that's beautiful, Leanne. I know that Leanne's also in the same city as me. Here out as a practice on a really windy winter night is kind of a bit magical because you can just listen. Even if it's five minutes, like let a candle, like what is the wind doing, and let it come and go is a really wonderful practice. But I love, like you could feel your own heartbeat. That's beautiful. See out, see out, stop the mental chatter, see? That's also like, when you're doing this techniques, it's not about perfecting it. When you do these techniques and you notice something, like Susan says that when she was doing see out, it stopped the mental chatter. That's an insight because we have so much mental chatter and most of our mental chatter is negative, right? It's like, it's judging, it's not great. And Susan just said she has noticed that that technique stopped that from happening. So it could become a go-to thing when she notices that she spirals. She could go, oh, what do I see, right? I love it. Wiggling my toes is how I ground myself. So that would be feel, right? Yeah, yeah, so that would be feel out. Yeah, is wiggling your toes, right? Yes, and windy prairie nights at the end, like. I love giving see out through the seasons because the sounds of summer is crickets and fast cars. And like the bumper season is not so much, but then winter of just like all I can hear is silence in my house or the wind or the heat coming on. And that just feels like such a soothing cycle. And before I meditated, I think I spent all that time filling that space with self-talk, right, and other stories. So yes, yes, totally. Again, Susan and I have a friend, Kyra, and she did a talk a couple of weeks ago and she said she was a backstage and she was just doing see out, counting the bricks of like the back entrance to the theater. So she did see out and she found that really calming. Yeah, so I wanna thank you for joining me tonight. You can keep, we've got a couple more minutes for questions or comments. What I love about the comments that you're making is you're being really specific about the experience that you had and that actually shows sensory clarity, right? And the way that you're saying, I like this better than that, that is an insight. And a lot of times when you're thinking about starting a mindfulness program, the best thing you can do is to choose the pieces that work for you. Because if they work for you, you're absolutely more likely to use them, right? Yeah, so, love it, like, yeah.  So you could try and do see your feel while you're walking. You can try doing it for a longer time. You could try, you know, going into a situation that is usually very, very troubling, you know? So either a person or a place where you often, you know, feel anxious or doesn't go well and purposely go into that and go, okay, when I feel like I'm about to lose it, I'm gonna see here feel. And so you can start strategically bringing these practices into your work in your everyday life. Yeah, so, and you can also, if you want, you can do a practice where you don't break it up individually.  I might see the lamp, I might hear my daughter, I might feel my knee, I might hear my stool. Like I could go between them all too, is a practice that you could do, right? Yes, so thanks for joining me for those of you who are in the class. The next classes we're gonna do like privately on Zoom. So if you're in the set one career contentment club, then we'll just do Zoom and we'll be able to see each other's faces. I just wanted to give a preview for some of those people who maybe didn't know what all these practices were about. Yeah, so lovely to sit with you tonight. Thanks for coming. And I hope that this practice serves you well. Okay, we'll talk later, bye.


All right, good afternoon cyber traders welcome on back here this Tuesday as always this post traders talk edition of our afternoon meeting this July 18th shortly after 2.30pm Eastern time great to see Jeff and Grant still with us here Elizabeth who cleaned up before on a boil ETF nice catch from her. Nice catch from a lot of us here heading into this time of the day though so great to see Jeff and Tony now joining us inside inside a live room here in Glenn lead and all this just here otherwise so. Stop right to it and especially those of us just joining us back on social media might I say on top Facebook live LinkedIn etc you folks also joined us earlier this morning to their students inside our traders talk live workshop. Now that's recorded that's recorded for our students I'll be posted also on YouTube as well just coming up very shortly from now. Probably do a few more those just on social media every now and then so say stay tuned to that and stay subscribed right to our YouTube channel though so. Taking us higher into the afternoon here nice chart I just wish that the order book would fill in a lot more on this trade on the buy side. You can see a resistance right there actually at 330 about 10,000 plus shares. That I think just popped up a moment ago if not mistaken I was looking out for resistance on top of support but you could just see even on the blue side here at my trade station matrix very small orders out there if there's any. So that's what you just have to be careful of strong chart but is it going to really continue and make that bigger squeeze that you'd want to see so definitely hey put this hyper trade on our list to start looks good and definitely follow up with it later on. Alright so otherwise though top percent gainer ICAD was moving up pretty nicely for us earlier had a good trade on Nikola more from the morning session I'll check in on that trade just in a moment John says coming back from the dead so I'll definitely take a look at that just in a bit. We had Palantir AI both of those trades I'm currently in myself. Let's just start from the very top the whole markets moving up here so I'm sure there's going to be a lot moving up with the market if it's not up that illustrious 5 or 10% that we scan for here so ICAD. ICAD Inc. That's the name of the company doesn't really give me much of a clue as to what it does led to a huge pop early on and then normally when it pulls back and dies off as fast as it pops you move away from it. So to be transparent I don't even know if we'd called it out at that time if anything perhaps our attention was more on it as it ended up just making that second move up. So let me take a look at the chat board here I certainly don't remember myself being the first to call this out. Jif one of our students made the call out there initially just at 10 o'clock but then as it rebroke higher that's where we started to see a lot more volume come into this trade. It wasn't until like 146 actually just like less than an hour ago rich made the second call out on that trade since and then from that point ended up flying Kathleen was on top of it John got out of it just earlier. You know hey right now it's actually not looking too bad in hopes of it seeing it build support. I'll put this on our side list at least to begin I'll check back in this trade just after we finish up. Maybe what goes up will eventually dump off and make a sharper drop and it has so far but is it going to build back up build that support that you'd want to see we'll check back in with it though coming up. Hyper already made the cut that one looks good enough for right now and then from this point we'll just keep it going. So EVL low not much happening there on the chart BPTS same deal. I'm going to skim through this year rather fast up trade lacking volume it's really not trading a whole lot of volume minute by minute. Liquidity checks out in the order book but that doesn't mean those sellers are going to get filled PGY was actually looking good just up until a moment ago just pulled back slightly down to two. All right you know what actually I'll put this on our list good order book even though it just shook down a little bit perhaps this could be support building and a little less volatile than that I can trade. So right now hyper the PGY trade we're also familiar with the stock not even from recent year just to peel back the curtain I shoot straight folks. I don't think that we really traded the stock over the last month or so it looked like it was trying a ton of volume but transparently enough like I'll tell you like oh like EOSC it was a great side list stock last month. Well yeah we traded it. Honestly, I don't think that we've really called out this PGY too often. Now that my new stock has ran for us in the past it was back from last year we traded it back on that sharper squeeze up. Perhaps there could be more room for more. Perhaps this can make a fraction of that type of run that it made back then so don't hold your breath waiting for it but I'm happy that we caught this now maybe not too late. MNMD we traded this yesterday or from the morning perhaps it was today lose track of my days. I think I was doing nail this in the morning if anything so since that time not a whole lot happening though Schwab I gotta perhaps go back to my 24 hour there we go. Schwab early in the morning popped off earnings big squeeze in pre-market early but since it's been flat for a $65 stock in the past. Carvana nice great pop once again for this trade but trending back down as of right now as of this very second doesn't look good for this afternoon. But it's volatile enough if that proves me wrong coming up in the five in the next five or 10 minutes then for those that did well on this trade from this morning or just that typically do well on it you know who you are. VBIV it's up a little bit trying to make a move up to the highs but not really too impressive I'm going to put it on our side list but move on from it here for right now. Alright so we've got two stocks on the main list. Hyper PGY we'll check back in on Palin tier we'll check back in on AI in just a moment. Actually well let's just do it now because hop over to the loser side coming up here in a bit so AI is actually up over 7% just wasn't enough to be where we found all these so far. So yeah AI definitely just going to put on our main list here at this stage just still strong hasn't made a lower low really just held support pretty nicely there. We called out the entry off of $40.90 to $41 that 10 cent range of support we made the post earlier in the chat board and I reposted just earlier after two o'clock. So if you're able to jump in with me from that point you're doing pretty good I took half my position out though is about like 2.15 or 2.13 in the afternoon is around like 41.80 I should just to take half the money out.  Take a little money keep a little money in PLTR is my bigger horse though this is small shares PLTR like I really want to see this pap higher into the clothes doesn't seem like it wants to. AI is going to make the list PLTR is not just there yet it's on our side list. I for my trade sake I certainly hope this thing explodes but just seems like AI is the sharper of the two I'd rather you focus on the AI and the PLTR as of right now. All right so let's hop over to the losers list here though right now seeing if there's anything looking as good of a short it's gonna be tough to ask for that as the markets are flying up here. I do my job though right go down the loser side here at least check and normally if you follow me here in these afternoon meetings the running gag the inside joke is. I'll typically skim through this list and say there's not a whole lot out there that really looks that you know good or you know looks like a familiar name and then I'll run into a stock like AI and sale on this down 12% I didn't notice this until right now let's take a look at the chart. And it is not really at the lows but I mean you know dropped off from earlier not really that great of a short right now but normally I'll jinx myself this time today going down the losers list. This could be worth watching in terms of a chart in terms of a trend pass. It looks like Billy Chinese stock ended up taking a hit whole China sectors wow pretty interesting they were spies up up and away in the major Chinese ETFs like yen is down over 7% today that's wild. So Billy took a huge hit with that in mind I'm sure a bunch of the other Chinese stocks did to Billy I mean is tradable enough it's not really at the lows now at this point just bounced up like 1518 cents. I'll slip it on the very back end of our list here but I like the first three a lot more. Alright so from John Nicola from Elizabeth MR KR and we'll wrap up. I mean I hope it goes up. I hope Nicola goes up this thing is like tough because much like my PLTR trade the thing is hyper liquid it's got a ton of volume out there on the book for it to break through like penny by penny. This much more than PLTR I think even so I'm not going to put it on the main list John but if you're in it I hope it goes up. It's a safe stock it's level one. No low risk MR KR and it's up but it's again I'm rooting anybody on but I'm not promoting this type of trade for our trading room here it's just not really doing anything. Oh it's doing something that's going up but in terms of the order book there's nothing there for me to feel confident about to jump in off of. Alright we got a few stocks on the side list though. We got the Carvana we got the VBIV ICAD actually we'll jump back to all those. So ICAD ICAD we didn't really build out too big of a list did we so this just makes the cut right away. Top percent gainer trading a ton of volume and liquidity checks out pretty good so if it dumps off it'll be disappointing but as of this point right now. Just bounce back up a tiny bit let's hope it continues and it makes the cut for now. Carvana not doing much we'll pass VBIV too slow not really doing a whole lot from you there we'll pass and like you said PLTR. I'm going to write Nikola down for my side list here personally John but so far I like those five. We have the Hyper the PGY the ICAD then at the end the Billy trade Jeff at the horn here at the buzzer. The ball went in the net before the buzzer went off actually so we'll go with PWM from Jeff and that will finish things up. You're trying to gamble on this type of stock honestly I can't not to sound blunt but to sound blunt you're trading this on a 25 cent spread Jeff we can't do that here no no. That goes for anyone though across the board now is not the time to lose all your money if you are in this trade if anyone's in any trade. I root for peace not hate I wish anyone makes all the money in the world but not trying to have students trade this year. All right so folks we are going to wrap up for right now hey if you're joining us on social media Facebook live LinkedIn Twitter YouTube the works. Feel free to join us inside our live trading room if you're not fancy with the phone you can go right down to the link on the banner below in green but you can scan that QR code otherwise. I get access to our live trading room just for a one week trial I look forward to seeing you there seeing all our students like Jeff Grant Ravina Elizabeth John Dan Glenn Tony Kathleen all this just otherwise. I know that Rich will be on the mic folks just in about 18 or so minutes we finished up this meeting pretty quick but at the same time we scan through everything that we needed to so. Start and stick with this list there's a whole reason why we do these meetings folks it gives you the best chance to try and reel in the big fish heading into this point now. If there is anything that makes an enormous pop enormous you know what I'm talking about folks like later called out I incredible one last week was like right at the very tail end of the meeting was on beyond meet remember that.

I will adjudicate you guilty and sentence you to life in prison without parole." There are a lot of videos that have a title, Instant Regret, kind of catchy because it looks like or you make you think that someone is instantly regretting the action that they did. The truth is though, men typically don't have any sort of instant regret. As a matter of fact, the Bible says in Ecclesiastes 8 11 that because a sentence is not carried out quickly, then the heart of that man becomes more and more set on doing evil because it doesn't get caught. While there is going to be an instance, well, everyone who is not in Christ is going to have an instant regret.  My suggestion that you don't have to face that is to just place your faith in Christ. If you are a believer, then do the same for someone else. The world is full of people who are regretting decisions but still not changing their ways, but there's going to come a point in time where their regret is not only going to be instant, but be final.


QuickBooks Online 2022 Rental Income Set Up Service Items. Get ready because it's go time with QuickBooks Online 2022. Here we are in our Get Great Guitars practice file. We set up with a 30 day free trial, holding down control, scrolling up just a bit to get to the 125% currently in the home page, otherwise known as the Get Things Done page. In the business view, as compared to the accounting view, if you wanted to change to the accounting view, it's something you can do. By going to the cog up top and switching to the accounting view down below, we will be switching back and forth between the two views, either here or by jumping over to the sample company file currently in the accounting view. Back on over, we're going to open some tabs to put some reports in, right-click it on the tab up top to do so, duplicating it. Back to the tab to the left, right-clicking a Get and duplicating it. We're going to be opening up reports. Before we do, let's take a look at where those reports are located in the accounting view. It's in the reports on the left-hand side. If we go back to the business view, second tab, we're looking at the business overview this time, and then the reports on the left-hand side, closing the hamburger, opening up our favorite two reports, the balance sheet income statement starting with the big B.S. balance sheet. So we're going to go up top and do the ranging, changing<PHONE_NUMBER>2 and run it. And then let's go to the tab right, tab right, and business overview again, reports, closing up the hamburger, profit and loss, the P and L, doing the range change once again,<PHONE_NUMBER>2 and run it. So now we're going to imagine back to the balance sheet, holding down Control, scrolling up a bit, that we have our guitar shop, and we're thinking we're going to take some of our equipment and be able to rent it out for rental purposes, possibly for people that want to start, say, a band or have a band basically for a weekend or something like that. So we're going to set up our rental kind of items so that we can provide that service as well. So this is an area that will allow us to collect a security deposit because we're imagining that if they're going to have the rental items, we're going to want them to give us money upfront. So we'll have a prepayment kind of situation for them to basically rent the items or to reserve the items to be rented. And so we'll have that kind of system set up. And we also want to think about the items that we would set up with regards to a system like this. And that's always something that you want to kind of consider your underlying items in terms of how you're going to be setting them up. In other words, if I go back to the first tab, we're imagining that someone's going to come in and ask for basically equipment, guitar equipment, amps, drums, and so on that they can rent for some timeframe. That would mean that we might first make an estimate. We might say they call in, they want the equipment, you know, next week or something like that and we say, okay, let's make an estimate possibly and then possibly let's get a down payment upfront, receiving the payment before we do the work at that point in time based on the estimate and then possibly when they come in, we can charge them at that time, possibly then charging the invoice at that point in time. In order to do the estimate and the invoice, we're going to need to set up our items. That's going to make the process as easy as possible. When we're setting up our items, we're thinking service items that will be populated in the estimate and the invoice and then how do we want to do that? Do we want to set up a different service item, for example, for each guitar that we have, each drum set that we have, that they would be putting together, which might be a little bit more tedious to do or maybe we have some set set. We might say, hey, if you have a standard band set, which includes this range of stock items that you might have some ability to choose between, then that's going to be our basic band set and then if you wanted to add on or make changes within that basic set, possibly getting a larger amp to get louder or something like another guitar, then you can add on top of that. So that's kind of a common type of scenario that you might see. We got the baseline set. If you want to rent something, here's what it costs for the baseline set. You can't really go below that. You can have up to basically two guitars, a drum set and an amp and all that kind of equipment for it and that's the baseline. If you just want one guitar, we're still going to charge you the baseline amount. That might be the way you kind of set it up and then on top of that, if you wanted to add like another guitar or get a super powerful amp or upgrade some of the equipment, you might have set ranges that we can basically include over and above the baseline. So that's how you might want to, you might start to think through it. So if we were going to go through this, we're going to say, okay, well let's go to the get paid and pay area and we're going to go down to our products and services and if we were in the accounting view, we would be going into the sales area and into the products and services and so then I'm going to say, okay, so we're going to set up our products and services, close up the hamburger and then it's going to be a service item. We're going to set up, so let's set up the baseline service item. I'm going to say it's a new item, simply a service item that we will have and I'm going to say that this is going to be, let's just call it band set number one rental or something like that. Standard band set and then I'm going to go in the description. There it is and we might include in the description like whatever it is to guitars, guitars, one drum set and amplifier, amplifier. I think I'm not sure if I spelled that right but that's what I'm going with. We're going to say 2,000. I'm just making up the numbers for 2,000. Not sure what would be a reasonable price for a rental of a band set and then you might even, of course, put the days for a weekend for two days or whatever the range would be. We're going to say it's a non-taxable item so I'm just going to try to do that easily down here but it's just saying non-taxable and then save it. That means that's subject to sales tax that we're setting up and there it is. So let's say save and close that so we can use that to populate our invoice and estimate and actually let's make one more change to it as well on that rental income. Notice I set it up as a service item so if I went to the income statement holding control down, scrolling up a bit it would then put it into this service item here and you don't want to get carried away with the different types of items that you have on the income statement because we can break that out in the sub reports so we don't want to basically have another income account for example for every rental item that we have every piece of guitar for example or every kind of a guitar that we sell and we don't want to have a separate income line item for any for every of our customers either those are two tendencies that we tend towards often people tend towards to want to put all that detail on the income statement that's not really what you want to do but some of the larger categories the big groupings of categories we might break out and we could put them under a subcategory of the services so in other words in the service category I might break out like the guitar the guitar sales for example as opposed to other types of services we might provide that are general type of services we might want to break out in this case the rental service or the rental type of income in another service item so let's imagine that let's make another income account on it so I'm going to go back to the first tab and let's go back into our band set number one and edit it let's do some editing on it instead of just putting it into the service item I'm going to try to add an account in the business view which is is always a struggle they gave me the standard the standard setup so that's good okay so we're going to say it's an income type account and I'm going to say that it's another primary income and I'm going to call this this is going to be the equipment rental income I'll just call it equipment rental income we could make it a sub-category of the services if we wanted to and you know that could be a useful thing but I'm not going to I'm not going to do it we're going to say save and close it right there save it and close it there it is and so when we post something to it it'll go to the income statement and into that special special new revenue account alright let's do another one let's say well what if they want like more something outside the standard band set typical things we would expect say like adding a guitar or something like that they want three guitars so they can you know sound more with more guitars or maybe a backup guitar they're worried that the guitar is going to get broken or something a string will break so we're going to say well if they wanted to add add one guitar to rental or something like that on the description added guitar to the rental we're going to say that costs another $50 per guitar so if you want like two backups another $100 for the double backup in case strings break things happen or you just got four rock stars up there that have their own guitar and this is going to be for what did I call it where's my rental equipment rental there it is it's not going to be taxable for sales tax I'm just going to see if I can do that down here by saying it's not taxable and so there we have it let's save it and close it and let's add one more here let's say the other thing we would anticipate people would want is possibly a more powerful or another amplifier maybe because they want to make sure they're super loud so we're going to say this is going to be add amplifier to rental to rental let's just keep it at that maybe not the most most descriptive descriptors or the best descriptors but that's what we'll have it we'll say that's $40 again I'm not these prices of course I have no idea but you get the idea it's practice problem practice problem edit the sales tax that's a good price for rental of an amplifier and we're going to go down here and say non-taxable once again so there we have it so now we've got our items set up so in a future presentation we'll start to populate these items and we're going to start to think okay first thing we might do someone comes in with an estimate I won't record it right now but we can make the estimate based on these items we set up and what they want and we can schedule the time that they think they're going to that they want to rent it so that we can have the equipment ready and what not and then when they come in we can basically create the invoice and when we have the estimate we can collect the down payment to reserve the spot to reserve the rental spot for it and then we can do that with the receipt payment we'll look at the two methods for unearned revenue we won't look at the two methods but you can apply either of the two methods we'll apply method number one that we looked at for unearned revenue and then we can then apply the invoice or create the invoice when they come in and we actually do the work providing the rental, we'll see those in future presentations but let's take a look at the estimate just to see how these will populate and make sure they're populating properly so if I hit the drop down down here we've got the rental stuff so we got the add guitar descriptions so there we have it populating just like it should I'm going to close that out, I'm not going to save it and next time we'll continue on with the epic story of Get Great Guitars


Coming up on DTNS should Apple pivot to advertising plus Twitter's new political advertising rules are spelled out and Robert Herron tells us the best TVs This is the Daily Tech news for Friday, November 15th 2019 in Los Angeles. I'm Tom Merritt and from next to a beer top I'm Sarah Lane and I'm the show's producer Roger Chang We're very happy to welcome Robert Herron video calibration expert and host of AVXL back to the show Robert. How's it going? Hey, I'm doing great. Thank you Tom It's good to have you back We're gonna get some some good TV buying advice as always just good TV knowledge in general from Robert here in a minute Sarah you're not in your normal studio location. I am not at the studio Redwood No, I I realize anybody who's listening to the audio version next to a beer tap, but I actually am You know, hey, it's Friday after all, but yes I'm I'm I'm on location doing some work, but but happy to be on the show as usual We were talking about all kinds of good things on good day Internet just now Just yacking away about all kinds of cool stuff if you want to hang out with us and Talk about things sometimes tech related sometimes not you got to be part of good day internet become a member at patreon.com DTNS let's start with a few tech things you should know Huawei's foldable Mate X device went on sale in China over the morning of November 15th for 16,999 won roughly two $2,400 US dollars due to ongoing trade restrictions However, the device doesn't ship with the Google Play Store or any US made chips Huawei has also not stated if the Mate X will be available for sale outside of China in addition Huawei CEO Richard you made a YWO post teasing a mate pet event for November 25th Apple removed all 181 vaping related apps from the iOS app store in a statement to Axios Apple said it is updating its app store review Guidelines to forbid apps that encourage or facilitate the use of vaping products citing a report from the US CDC that found vaping devices a public health crisis and a youth epidemic Apple previously stopped accepting new apps related to vaping back in June and never allowed for direct sales of Vapar cartridges through apps in an interview with the Verge Microsoft's head of gaming Phil Spencer said that he expects to launch its xCloud game streaming service in 2020 in the US Spencer also said that the company plans to integrate xCloud with Xbox Game Pass in 2020 as well bringing game streaming to Windows 10 PCs while currently only confirmed to run on Android on mobile general manager of xCloud Catherine at Gluckstein Confirmed that the company is building prototype iOS apps and working with Apple to launch on the platform as well Microsoft also plans to expand xCloud preview to Canada India Japan and Western Europe next year Amazon will formally challenge the US Department of Defense's decision to award Microsoft the joint enterprise defense Infrastructure or Jedi contract Amazon will file a complaint with the US court of federal claims a spokesperson for AWS Said numerous aspects of the Jedi evaluation process contained clear deficiencies errors and unmistakable bias Strikes me that could also apply to Phantom Menace Google revealed that an experiment rolled out to the stable channel of Chrome has caused some browsers access through virtual machine environments to display white screens and leave the browser Unresponsive the experiment switched on a flag that enabled a new web content's Occlusion feature which suspends Chrome tabs when other apps are moved on top of those tabs The experiment had been in beta for about five months without reported issues Google has now rolled back the account All right Let's talk a little bit more about a brand new company in the chip space three former Apple semiconductor executives Gerald Gerrard Williams the third Manu Gulati and John Bruno have founded a company called new via and UVIA the company is developing a processor called Phoenix and wants to take what they learned designing low-power chips for mobile devices and Make a faster more power efficient more secure chip for data centers If that sounds familiar Qualcomm Marvel Ampere all have been aiming to do exactly the same thing and try to take a little business away from Intel and AMD But new via brings in a lot of experience not the Qualcomm doesn't have a ton of experience But we've got we've got some pretty smart people here William spent nine years at Apple as chief architect of Apple central processors and systems on a chip Gulati spent eight years at Apple working on mobile systems on a chip and Bruno spent five years at Apple in the platform architecture group plus gelati and Bruno also worked at Google after they left Apple before coming over to new via so It's you know, they're not a shoe in but it just shows how using Mobile processors power efficiency to provide secure platforms for data centers is Something that people think is going to be a bountiful place to make some money because a lot of people are trying to figure out how to crack that Yeah, and the fact that again, like you said, these are industry veterans They could have worked lots of places But they have come together to say we can do this better than what is already going on in other places if you're talking about Low power chips for mobile devices I mean, this is this is definitely not something that is a company that doesn't exist yet But but but I wonder what what what they might achieve that doesn't isn't already possible with with some of the big big guns Well, right now, it's usually can I get enough power out of this mobile chip to make it worth not buying Intel or AMD And and it's close. So new via must think they have some ideas Of how to how to engineer and how to architect that So that it that it's compelling because data centers No matter who you talk to data centers are the fertile ground For money, we've heard it in the earnings reports recently Samsung says well We're gonna sell a lot of semiconductors to data centers, you know, so things will look it up for us Data centers are gonna be buying a lot of chips Memory chips storage chips and the processors and if these processors are cheaper and more power efficient That's gonna be pretty compelling Robert. I don't know if you've followed this closely enough. Do you have any any thoughts on this? It's really about the cooling of these centers and if you can eliminate some of that heat dissipation and keep that confined and in a part that actually It has to at least match the current performance of the the server chips they use And server chips by and large are already Generally a lot cooler than you're gonna have on a desktop part. Anyway, they're not They're To say it's more like they're they're simply not stabler But they don't clock them as hard and they run better at those lower clock rates And that that comes back to the cooling side of it Which is probably the main expense in a lot of these centers short of just the electricity to run everything But if you can you can knock that down by even 15 percent and that's that's a lot That would go a long way toward that's interesting me something like an arm chip or lots of arm chips Or new via's latest design. I it's really Intel amd both have low power designs, but maybe they're not the ideal thing for server environments I If they really have some sort of black magic in terms of being able to create a capable server part that is Measurably more efficient in electricity. That's a huge deal. Definitely Apple's pivot to services, which is an ongoing pivot has led JP more can chase to estimate that the company's Advertising income could quintuple over the next six years to 11 billion dollars annually Apple TV the app store in safari are all seen as places where Apple could raise its revenue But will they Apple has marketed itself as a company that respects privacy and having an effective advertising program often conflicts with prioritizing user privacy Yeah, I mean they have ads in the app store right now. That's not terribly controversial It's it's a matter of placement saying like hey if somebody's looking for this kind of app or they're on this kind of page of app And you want to place your app on there? That's fine So they haven't run into problems where they're crossing the line there But if you start to place ads on the Apple TV interface, that doesn't look very apply If you start to put ads in safari somehow Can wait into privacy problems really quick when you're dealing with browsing data So I'm not sure what kind of assumptions JP Morgan Chase makes Other than to say well if Apple made the decision to sell the ads, this is how much they could sell It's different than them actually making the decision to sell the ads Which is then going to become an investor fight if they don't do it because they could be perceived as leaving money on the table Do you leave the ad settings at default on most of the devices you use? I personally I generally will turn off the The saving of specific information. So I end up getting very generic ads not necessarily I don't know what I'm looking at but I'm still fed ads But they mean less to me than they probably would if I just left all these settings And it's something that that iOS users generally don't think about because the ad settings are are Virtually, you know, the privacy settings are pretty tight already on iOS And those ad settings have to do with the individual applications more often If they're going over the line, that's something I've been absolutely thrilled about with android 10 And it's it has gone through every app in my phone And literally said hey, you know what this thing's tracking your location 24 7 Would you like to turn that completely off or just when the app is running or well ios 13 is doing that too In fact, it's it's it's knocking down my door more often than I like where I'm like, ah gosh fine Yes dark sky weather app. It's fine wherever I am just but uh, but yes It's better to be you know airing on the side of making sure that we're aware than the alternative Totally. I love this trend Twitter made its ban on political ads official I remember we said jack dorsi had tweeted about this but uh devils in the details and this sort of stuff The rules are now out. They define political content as content in an advertisement You can say whatever you want different, you know, those different rules for what you say on twitter But in a paid advertisement any content that references a candidate a political party Unelected or appointed government official an election a referendum a ballot measure legislation regulation directive or judicial outcome Is going to be considered a political ad and you're not allowed to put political ads on twitter It also bans Advertisements that contain references to political content. So in other words, the entire ad isn't about it But it refers to it including appeals for votes solicitations of financial support and advocacy for or against any of the above listed types of political content So that just further defines like here's you can't get around the rules by doing this If you're talking about voting for something and it's clearly political, we're gonna ban it candidates parties governments or officials political action committees and certain political nonprofit groups are banned from any Advertising altogether, even if they just you know want to sell their used bicycle. No, they're not doing it on twitter I'm not sure anyone sells bicycles on twitter, but an exemption will be given to news organizations To all of these rules if they have 200,000 monthly uniques or more Make their own content and focus on more than one issue So they're trying to draw a line that says, you know, we're talking about the washington post here We're not talking about, you know, joe blow pack that started a blog yesterday An exemption will also be given to cause-based content To this is and this is where it gets tricky to allow ads that educate raise awareness and or call for people to take action and connection with Civic engagement economic growth environmental stewardship or social equity causes This last exemption does not allow targeting by zip code or political preference And it can't reference or be run on behalf of the entity's ban from placing political ads like candidates and parties but That line between saying hey, I'm just you know trying to promote the economy of my hometown and This is really pushing for a political candidate is I think where twitter is going to run into any potential controversy Man, I mean this is first of all I would like to commend twitter the company has obviously put a lot of thought into this And perhaps that's why this was not rolled out sooner because there was there were some decisions that had to be made that said This reads as like at terms of service that like no one's going to read and they're not going to understand necessarily on the other side of it Because it's very complicated And i'm not sure, you know, I mean, I think it's it's a good thing But if you don't understand how things work Then it sort of works against twitter because twitter is full of a lot of users who Would not care to Understand what you just explained tom Yeah, I mean what's going to happen is somebody's going to put an ad That they're going to claim is an ad that is cause-based And it's going to be about climate change for a democratic candidate or it's going to be about economic growth for republican candidate Or it's going to be some other combination there And it's going to be uncovered that it was placed on behalf of pushing the agenda of someone and twitter's going to have a controversy That's going to happen There's just no way to get around this fuzzy line that they've drawn But I wonder if that isn't the point where twitter has said yeah, but we pushed the boundary out over there So if if they say the candidates name if they say the party's name if they talk about voting It's clearly going to get kicked So they have to be so circumspect that it might not be terribly beneficial for their candidate Even if they are trying to get around the rules Does this stuff bother you robert? a little bit John mccaffey who might not be the most stable genius in the world He had a twitter He had a tweet about a week ago where he said you shouldn't be allowed to use the word news in the title of your organization if at least 80 of that content is vetted or at least Verified to be relatively truthful And you do that for the majority of your broadcast day And he wasn't it was just an interesting idea where maybe it is time We take a look at who can call themselves a new news organization and have at least Something there to help Because the problem all goes back to it's just so easy to manipulate What you see and what you do and and to get a point out there that you know for for devious reasons even anybody has access to these networks and I hate to see it turning into an arms race of who can manipulate them the best And it's it's it's spooky, but at the same point You know it's easy enough for me to disconnect and walk away from it all But then I feel like i'm disengaging from you know discussions in the society, so It's a balance you can have in other places Without a doubt listening listening to this this morning's doings in congress Corruptions everywhere and and we can point the finger all we want but hell half of our elected Most of our elected officials are taking legal bribes from the from their so-called Big-pocketed constituents and it's it's in my opinion kind of tragic that it functions that way in this country It's not a great. That's a whole separate. That's a whole I hate talking politics, but there you go. Well, you know who isn't corrupt not necessarily anyway Is the modern cord cutter moffat. Nathanson estimates that hulu has 2.7 million subscribers for its live tv service Putting it at number one just ahead of sling tv is 2.69 million youtube tv is another Estimated to have 1.6 million customers hulu will raise the price of its live tv service by 10 dollars per month From 44.99 us dollars to 54.99 hulu offers more than 60 channels Including all four major in list language broadcast networks in the us along with the hulu on demand service In a blog post the company said it's exploring ways to provide additional more tailored live tv options as well Yeah, and uh since playstation view announced that it was Going away at the end of january. I've been looking at back at sling hulu and youtube tv and atn tv now As options and hulu seems to be the best option for me YouTube has the best interface right now and even has a couple more channels that I want But I love that hulu is tied in to hulu, right? I already I'm already in hulu watching Shows that are carried on just the regular on demand hulu side And if I can integrate into that to to watch my hockey and other live stuff. I think that's the way i'm going to go Uh 55 dollars a month. Well, it's not as great as 45 dollars a month But it's actually cheaper than what I was playing playstation view and way cheaper than what I'd end up paying spectrum Uh, so I I think this is uh, this is decent and it doesn't surprise me that hulu is leading the way right now Because of what I just said I agree They also oh hulu also happens to have the last three seasons of archer where Anywhere else you get the first something like that, isn't it or yeah Gated walls of my favorite content I've been watching cheers on hulu, which you can get on netflix and cbs all access But again because i'm already on hulu watching good place and handmaid's tale and all this other stuff I'm like, well, just I'll watch it over here. So they kind of They if they keep building on that, I think that's going to be I think that's going to be successful for hulu I hope that this price increase might bring in some more channels because that is my one complaint about hulu's a couple channels I'd like them to have uh, but as I always say if you want to go and uh decide Which of these over the top streaming services you might want to get to replace your cable the best place to go is suppose.tv You can just put in where you are What channels are important to you and it'll lay it all out including cable providers if this So you she can compare, you know apples to apples And and see which one will actually save you money More money for disney Yeah, it is hulu's definitely going to be a cash cow for disney. I think Wikipedia co-founder jimmy wales has been slowly launching an alternative to facebook It's a news oriented social network that you can sign up to for free But you're put on a wait list.

They just say we're never going to take ads But you can pay 12 99 a month or 100 dollars a year To help support it. It's kind of like donation for wikipedia And it lets you into the social network faster Wt social has about 78 000 users right now. It's gained about 50 000 since november 6 So it's growing fairly fast, but doesn't have a lot of people in it yet It's topic oriented uses the community to enforce standards similar to how wikipedia works In fact, anyone can edit or delete content when you go in it asks you to pick a bunch of topics you want to follow And then you can go in and see those and engage and talk to people about them And if you pay to get in you can actually vote you can actually invite other people to to join for free as well you know The the concept of this is interesting my my first reaction was like anybody could delete my content This is insane. It would be horrible right because people are petty on social networks But if it's more news oriented and less Personal news oriented, then maybe that's less of an issue wikipedia. Sure. You can go in and wreak some havoc But for the most part it's it's pretty self-sufficient. The moderation community in there is really robust When things get weird they get fixed quickly and for the most part it is it is like an encyclopedia type thing It's you know well respected. So I you know if you have under a hundred thousand users Yes, as you mentioned, this is not an alternative to facebook. There's I mean, it's apples and oranges There's just no way but and everybody's always trying to be like this is the alternative to facebook because everybody complains about facebook But you're all on it I don't know. I mean it's It's uh, it's it's an interesting idea. I don't know robert I saw you on facebook recently saying that you hadn't been on facebook in a while So what what do you literally what do you make of wt social? Yeah, I I have no interest in this per se What I would like to see though is something where I could literally install it on my nasa device And it could connect to other folks's Set up social media networks, but it's a hundred percent private where I can just invite the family Or close friends to look at you know photos of the kids or the pets or whatever or make plans for the weekend And granted it's nice to have it in a fully open Environment where anybody can get in there and take a look or at least make that a little easier to do the connection but This sounds or it's rolling towards something where I personally would just rather have far more control over it myself And well, it's it's unfair to call this facebook. This is about news This is trying to take a part of facebook and say if facebook news bothers you try this This has got hacker news in it the the hacker news Feed comes into it And you could have it every day have comments about to people about it So the news feed part of facebook the sharing of birthdays and pictures from parties and all of that novice This is just one segment Of facebook the news segment and if it succeeds, it'll be amongst people who are like, yeah, I just I just want a cleaner Way to to follow what's going on that has a little bit of a social aspect to it Where I can discuss things with people in a respectful way. That's super cool I I look at things like Reddit for it used to be a lot more news or just wow, you'd see it there first before anywhere else Now it is if you follow enough stuff, you're gonna see a fire hose a variety of things It would be nice to have just a strong focus on actual news and current events and things like that in a In a relative hopefully a relatively vetted environment It's like setting setting your browser's homepage to the wikipedia page and it gives you that this day in history Right section and I love that kind of stuff. So it's very much You know, you say what you want about wikipedia. It's it's actually Usually more accurate than most actual encyclopedias And and so they're taking what they've learned there and applying it here We'll see if it works Hey folks, if you want to get all the tech headlines each day in about five minutes Be sure to subscribe to daily tech headlines dot com All right, we had singles day just now we have black friday coming up in the u.s And kind of no matter where you are on the planet There's some kind of shopping going on and one of the things people are always looking for a deal on is tvs So we're always happy to have robert on to kind of help us figure out What are what are some good tvs? I should be looking for deals on there are models out there right now and black friday has now extended into being this month long event So you don't have to wait until black friday to get the best pricing at least as far as 2019 models at the lowest prices We've seen all year long and a couple that jump out to me would be the well If you're looking more for the high end It's something that just came out the tcl 8 series is one of the most interesting interesting new lcd tvs that i've seen In quite a while I believe this will be one of the very first tvs to incorporate a grid of 20 plus thousand leds as the backlighting system micro led technology that enables An amazing amount of light output from this tv in addition to having very granular control over that backlight for things like Improving contrast in scenes like where you have a space scene with little stars shining on it Where you want the highlights to be nice and bright, but you don't want the black turning gray or glowing in general tcl is eight series. It's in uh 65 and 75 inch panel sizes. It's not cheap I believe the eight series 75 inches about three grand. It hasn't gone on sale yet I'm really keeping an eye on that to see what might happen For an actual black friday sales event and currently I believe at least in the u.s It's only available through best buy currently and but that's one that is so high performance plus the roku interface Uh, and it's using quantum dot color which expands the color palette compared to using Phosphor enhanced leds or anything older than that at this point Quantum dot and lcd. That's currently the very best color You can get out of one of these screens from any manufacturer and most manufacturers who are producing decent screens are turning toward that In the same vein samsung's q90 r which is a not quite their most premium model But one step back terrific deals there for 65 75 and 82 inch screen sizes The 75 I was keeping an eye on that is at $2,300 right now, which is about 1700 bucks off the price Nice thing about samsung. They also use the quantum dot technology That perhaps is a more well known brand compared to maybe tcl It has a great set of integrated apps that integrates with all of your gear quite nicely It does lack Support for dolby vision. So if you're looking specifically at that one feature See samsung tv's do do hdr 10 and hdr 10 plus That's still an effective format that you'll find from every video distributor out there So that's not really such a downside on that one and I like it a lot and on the value side Just quickly going back to tcl in addition to that eight series. They have a six series for 2019 They made a big jump and switching from those phosphor leds Which caused an interesting image artifact that once you see it you'll you cannot Unsee it per se and that had to do with moving objects and say a bright object on the screen moving You would actually see colored trailed edges that weren't solid or a blurred effect in essence And by switching the new six series also to quantum dot it eliminates that issue altogether It improves the color performance, especially with your 4k hdr sources And that is just a terrific bargain. I believe the 55 is 600 bucks right now 65 800 bucks That's about as low end as I would go personally if you're looking for solid performance now as far as LG OLEDs go the c9 is out there it incorporates their latest generator a second gen processor from last year Performance wise in terms of the absolute picture quality The new LG c9 series is not that much different from the c8 series that preceded it last year Other than that they've incorporated a lot of future-looking tech into it including hdmi 2.1 And I'll get into this in a little bit, but they've also announced Some LG OLEDs at ces will feature incorporated htsc three tuners which for digital over-the-air broadcast This is moving from the digital 720p 1080i standard dynamic range standard color to up to foreign ak video streams with hdr And htsc three is also very much a You can almost think of it as ip distribution system It'll enable through connected tvs a back and forth So you can have a little two-way interaction for maybe services and apps and things like that But more importantly for me, it'll be just simply having improved color Almost triple the effective bit rate and it's still going to be free over the air with an appropriate tuner and antenna So that's just something to keep an eye on I imagine if LG is announcing this with their 2020 LG OLED TVs, it'll probably be showing up in other manufacturers as well And then finally I just want to remind everyone that projectors are freaking cool Especially if you can get pick up something that's affordable and you don't mind It's not so expensive that you're you're treating it like this fragile object constantly a good portable projector starts at Less than 500 for 1080p technology scales all the way on up to whatever you want to spend on these devices, but A thing to remember about every projector today. They all have hdmi input most have powered usb ports That makes them just perfect for plugging in a streaming stick of anybody's and having that is not only an upgrade on the cheap But it can make it very portable then in terms of hey I can just simply take this outside and with my internet connection Stream all my favorite shows and content and everything like that Right in the backyard So and if you are looking for a projector and you don't know what the hell to choose Projector central.com is a wonderful website. They have everything broken out by price and budget And terrific reviews and they've been around for a long time and they're just solid And if you need an antenna speaking of black friday sales the good folks over at channel master have a couple of antennas They have their ten dollar antenna. It might be five bucks for black friday. I don't know either way That's crazy the ten dollar flat antenna is like you should just have one of those just in case it works Just fine If you live somewhere with good reception otherwise they have their smart tenna plus Which is something I picked up when it first came out for about 90 bucks It's currently half price and that features an array of different antenna modules And when you first plug it in it spends about five minutes going through all of them to figure out Which of these configurations gives me the best reception and it generally works pretty well It's terrific in terms of a flat antenna You kind of just put it where you want and then it'll internally figure out the best optimization for it And for that, I think it's if you want something a step up from a ten dollar antenna That's a good way to go. Yeah, and it works really well. I use one of those too. Thanks so much, Robert This is good stuff for people to be looking out for and look at look for the price reductions Look for the deals on some of that stuff any major manufacturer if you've been eyeballing one of their TVs It likely is on sale right now and overall I've noticed that if Costco carries that same TV, it's going to be about 50 bucks less Well, my mom will be buying my next TV for me and I'll then mow her As a customer customer.

I'm Jerry McCullough, I'm the chief test pilot at Lockheed Martin and Oweego. It's a lot of things that make this aircraft different. It was designed from the beginning to be a cargo lifter, and that's what the Marines use it for. Another thing that makes it different is its unique rotor system, with CODR rotating rotors. Probably the most unique thing is this aircraft can fly itself. These two are here. We're over in Afghanistan for almost three years supporting the Marines and some Army units over there. They moved almost five million pounds of cargo, keeping numerous convoys off the road. It's out here in Yuma now for future development work with the Marines. It's great now and it's only going to get better in the future.
