Please introduce yourself to the Cointelegraph world and tell them what you do. We'll do. My name is Dan Bates. I have a company called Impact PPA. We do renewable energy all over the world, specifically to developing nations. So we're bringing light to people who either have never had it or they have been without it, like what we're doing in Haiti. Okay. And how are these systems developed? Very rudimentary? Are these complex systems on the ground? Simple. It's wind and solar. It's hydro. It could be anything. People need energy. Energy gives rise to education. It gives rise to a better quality of life, right? So it doesn't matter what it is. We've got to figure out what that solution needs to be for that community, for that person, and then allow that to be developed with consensus from the community, from the blockchain community. And then we manage that energy generation and allow people to now pay as you go, basically all done on the blockchain. So I'm curious about that. I've done research in Laos, I've done the Tanzania, Ethiopia, emerging nations. And the challenge that I've found, how do you distribute when you receive this energy from a solar installation? How are you managing the consumption and the distribution of that energy in these remote areas? Right. Right. This is a challenge. Yeah. Okay. A lot of times we own a community that doesn't have anything. So we might do distributed installations on rooftops, on backyards, whatever it might be. But typically more and more what we're doing is micro grids. For instance, I'm finishing up a project in Haiti. They got hit really hard in 2016 by Hurricane Matthew. Two and a half years later, they're still without power. So we put 150 kilowatts or so on the ground, connecting to a grid that used to exist before the hurricane. Okay. So we're using those lines and then we're connecting to smart meters that we put on the home. We put on the business where it might be. That smart meter then controls the flow of energy. So someone could buy power on their cell phone now. Really? As they need it. They have a little app. Very simple to use.  If you don't mind, if you can speak to this, what platforms are you using to power this back end? Ethereum. Ethereum. Right now we're on Ethereum. Okay. Fantastic. Fantastic. And it's working. Okay. How are you tokenizing? How are you, how do you explain to me the actual model, the economy model and at the end of the day, is it being distributed back into the community? So you just walk me through that. All right. So we've got a token model. We call it the M-PAC. Of course, our company name is M-PAC PPA. So we call the token the M-P-A-Q, the M-PAC. That is a value token that we distribute to the token purchasers. People who want to do good, who want to support projects all over the world. They believe that there will be value in the M-PAC token in the long run. So that is what is used to finance projects. And then in the market, wherever we might be, whether it's throughout Africa or Latin America, Caribbean, India, we then distribute what we call a gen token. The gen credit. So somebody buys it with fiat. It's like a burner, right? You need more data. You need more minutes on your phone. You just scratch it off and you put in the code, right? Same kind of model, but now it's for electricity. Are you familiar with M-PASA? Absolutely familiar with M-PASA. Decentralized M-PASA for electricity. That's what we do. Really, really. So will you have a central hub that essentially has M-PASA that's for our followers, M-PASA. They created basically, I would say it's an off-the-grid banking system, right? And so I love the off-the-grid platform. Is there a way that the local economy can benefit from these tokens if they incorporate mining facilities, let's say, somehow? Well, yes. The easy answer is yes. The difficult answer is how are we going to do that logistically, right? If you're going to go into a rural community in India and try to teach them to become miners, it might be a little challenging, right? But the gen token will be distributed to those who need it, who need power. How are you qualifying someone who needs power where sometimes they may want to take on the power themselves and distribute it? Well, what we're doing is we're trying to democratize energy. So it would be in their incentive to move gen token than trying to recreate the wheel. That's what we're doing. Right. And that empowers people, right? There will be people out there who are, call it marketing, the gen token, who are out there moving that token around to others. Educating the consumers is not exactly how they can... And we expect them to be trading it. This can be an energy currency. Are you finding that the education in some of the emerging nations we spoke about needs to be amplified to meet the blockchain and crypto standards as we're moving so quickly? They are not going to know that there's a blockchain back end as we get this going. They see a simple app on their phone that says, I need power.  That's not going to happen. That's a non-starter for all these guys, right? So we'll just have a very simple app. They press a button. They hit go. They get power. Okay. Okay. It's pretty interesting. No. We had... I don't know if you... We were just speaking in another panel and inclusion seemed to be an interesting topic and accountability. Just because blockchain makes it transparent, it doesn't make it... The product is not always truth. How are you mediating the challenges on the ground with these countries and the perception of outside influences coming in and saying they will help, but they're not being held accountable? Okay. So that was the core of this whole idea, right? I've done work in the renewable energy industry for the last 10 years and I work in developing worlds. That means there's boots on the ground in Ghana and Kenya and India and places that are underserved, right? They are not going to get a solar farm. The World Bank ain't going to fund it or if they are, and maybe they will, it takes years to get that through that process. So my original concept, the company concept was let's change that model. Let's democratize project finance. So people who have the ability to do good now have a voice in what happens in the world. That puts stuff, renewables, it could be cold storage for food, right? We're doing a project now where we're going to basically light up a fish packing facility that's been dark for two and a half years and all of those people in the community will now have a job again because they had no way to keep the fish cold. So they shut it down. So in 2018, let the Cointelegraph audience know your low end prediction and your craziest predictions of blockchain and crypto. Ah, wow. That's a tough one. All right. So the low end is that, and I don't want to sound disparaging at all, that we keep continuing to talk. That's the low end. The high end is let's get these projects launched, let's just stop talking and go do it. That's what I'm doing. I appreciate it. Thank you for taking the time. My pleasure, man. Enjoy the game. Thank you.


Assalamualaikum students. Today we are discussing the random sample and the expected values in multivariate analysis. Here we are using let x1, x2 up to so on xn be a random sample from joint distribution which has mean vector mu and variance covariance matrix sigma. As we know before we are discussing we have discussed the mean vector mu and the variance covariance matrix sigma. The sample mean vector x bar because this is the sample mean values is an unbiased estimator of mu. You must have seen how we did the expected value of x bar in univariate case which is equals to mu. Similarly in multivariate we have expected value of x bar vector which is equals to mu and variance of x bar which is equals to variance covariance matrix divided by small n. That is expected value of sample mean which is equals to the population mean and the variance of the sample mean which is equals to sigma over n. Also if s of n sample variance which is equals to 1 over n sum i varies 1 to n x i x i prime prime means transpose minus x bar into x bar transpose. Sample variance. Then expected value of sample variance which is equals to n minus 1 over n into sigma. This is what we have in the theorem. Basically we have to prove it that expected value of x bar mu is equal to variance of x bar which is equals to sigma over n. Now prove we know that we know x bar which is equals to 1 over n. This is the vector form. So how we wrote x vector 1 into x vector 2 up to so on x n vector. Now when we want to take the mean, what do we do? We apply its expectation. Now apply expectation on both side which is equals to expected value of x 1, x 2 up to so on x n which is equals to 1 over n. In this expected value you have within bracket. How can we write sum i varies 1 to n x i vector. This is what we took. So this is in the form of sum. And from where i varies 1 to n. 1 over n sum expected value will be applied on random variable. Now we know that the expected value of x i which is equals to mu, mu is equal to 1. And mu you know mu vector is constant. So when we apply sum on constant, it is multiplying n times. Now this is the n times of mu divided by n. Now cancel out this. So expected value of x bar which is equals to mu. First part our proof is over. Now for the next part, this is the cross product terms. Now x bar minus mu into x bar minus mu prime which is equals to, I am opening it. If I open it, we have got 1 over n. Where is sum going? n. We are taking sample value sum n times x i minus mu into this factor value 1 over n sum i varies 1 to n x i vector minus mu transpose. Now if we combine it and write it as 1 over n into 1 over n, we have taken it as comma, 1 over n square sum i varies 1 to n. First term is x i minus mu and second term is x i minus mu transpose. So this is the cross product term. Covariance. Now co-variance of x bar by definition co-variance is expected value of x bar minus mu into expected value of x bar minus mu transpose. By definition we have the co-variance value. Further we have opened it as we did earlier. 1 over n square sum i varies 1 to n expected value of i because sum we have opened is x i minus mu into x i minus mu transpose. Since x i and x j are independent, now we have variable if it becomes independent. So for independent what we have? Its expectation is basically 0. So the expected value of x i minus mu, x i minus mu prime which is equals to 0 q 0 because it is independent. So we have independent co-variance of 0. For all i is not equals to j. What is the case here? i equals to j. And if i is not equals to j, then what will happen? The co-variance of x bar which is equals to 1 over n, we have replicated this factor here. 1 over n square x i i varies 1 to n expected value of x i minus mu expected value of x i minus mu prime. Now we have seen this factor previously, we have seen who we have equal to. 1 over n square sum i varies 1 to n sigma. Now where did this sigma come from? Basically in summary statistics we have done all these things first. So in summary statistics, I have entered the value here directly. So this is equals to, you know this is constant. It is multiplying with constant. So this will be n times. Then cancel out this term. So we have co-variance of x bar which is equal to sigma over n cake. Further what we have to do? To contain the expected value of sample variance, S of n sample variance, if we take the expectation, then what is the equivalent? We just note that x ij, ith and jth unit minus x bar j, x ik minus x bar k is the j comma k, the element x i minus mu, x j minus mu. Okay, now we are taking two units because i is not equals to j here. The metric representing sum of square and the cross product can be written as. So we have given the previous sum of square. Now we have seen the sum of square cross product terms. This is the cross product terms. Open this. We have seen this in summary statistics. In the previous lecture also we have seen how this is opening. In this you have sum x i, x j because i is not equals to j and next we have the n times of x bar, x bar transpose. So here expected value of x i, x j transpose which is equals to sigma plus mu, mu transpose. We also solved this in summary statistics. Also the expected value of x bar minus mu, x bar minus mu prime which is equals to 1 over n, sigma. We have also found the previous result. Now the expected value of x bar, x bar prime minus mu. Now look at these values here. x bar, x bar prime minus mu, mu transpose which is equals to sigma over n. Now we have given this in the previous slide. From here expected value of x bar, x bar prime, we have given the value. You will have this minus term. Now we get the result of expected value of x bar, x bar transpose which is equals to this. Here the expected value of i varies 1 to n, x i minus x bar. So x i minus x bar transpose. We have opened this in the previous slide and it is equal to this term. Now applying expectation inside the bracket, we have applied it. We have determined its value and we have determined this value. Just put the value in this expectation, put in. After putting it, we are simplifying it. Look, we have constant term and constant term. The sum is varying. What is the answer? n times of sigma plus n times of sigma, n times of mu, mu prime minus n, n cancel out because the first term is cancel out. Here you have sigma and the second term is n, multiply. So further we have its simplification after n sigma minus sigma. Now the expected value of i varies 1 to n. This is the cross product terms, again which is equals to n minus 1 of sigma. Since the s n, now s n is equal to sample variance which is equals to this. So n minus 1 over n sigma is an unbiased estimator of sigma. Previous, if you remember, we had expected value of capital S girl with sample variance which is equals to the population variance. So similarly, we have this thing here as well. Expected value of sample variance, in multivariate case, expected value of sample variance which is equals to population variance with some constant multiply. And this was the condition that we used to hold when we had sampling without replacement. If there is a replacement, then there is some constant multiply with it. That is some constant basically multiply concept is univariate. But in multivariate, if we have the expectation of sample variance, then it is equal to the population variance. Some quantity is multiplied with it.


Johnny Luller, hi there Johnny. This is Helen Daner. Helen Daner? That's right. I live out here in Mon... I see. Insurance of one of the companies you represent, the Greater Southwest Insurance Company. Oh yeah, I do a lot of work for them. But also Johnny, do you mind if I call you Johnny? Well no, not at all Ms. Daner. Or is it Mrs? It'll just Helen. As I started to say, I not only have that insurance but Johnny, I never miss that radio program of yours where you tell all about those exciting cases you solve. Sometimes I just don't see how you do it. Well I hope you never find out about the ones I miss out on. But now Ms. Daner... I don't think I've missed a single one of your programs. Good. I'm your most loyal listener and I think you're wonderful. Well thanks. And that's why I'm calling you instead of the police about this. Well look Ms. Daner, I... Oh? Yes. Calling about what? Johnny, isn't that what you say, nab them? Yes, sure, but go on. Well Johnny, these terrible people might suspect that I'm the one who told the police about them. What people, Ms. Daner? And if that happened, well I guess you can just imagine what they might do to me. Who are these people you're talking about and just what is it they're up to? Oh, so carefully. Yeah. Yes? Ms. Daner? Hello? Hello? Hello? Well now, dollar, don't be a sucker for a... and yet... I wonder. The exciting adventures of the man with the action-pact expense account. America's fabulous freelance insurance investigator. Yours truly, Johnny Dollar. Act one of yours truly, Johnny Dollar. Submitted by special investigator Johnny Dollar to the Greater Southwest Insurance Company Home Office, Los Angeles, California. Following is an account of expenses incurred during my investigation of the Big H matter. Expense account item one, 275, long-distance telephone called a Hollywood 82124. That is to say the office of Royal J. Harkins Contact Man of Greater Southwest Insurance in Los Angeles. It was late in the day, but luckily he was still in his office. Nice to hear from you again, Johnny. What can I do for you? Roy, I'm putting this call on expense account. Well, that ain't all. If I could make connections down to New York, well let's see. There's a plane leaving for the West Coast a little after midnight, so I'd arrive in LA early in the morning. You coming out here? Unless somebody's been pulling my leg. Roy, do you have a policy holder named Helen Daner? Yes, we certainly do. Well now, what's that mean? She's house north of here. Johnny, she called this office early this afternoon. She demanded your phone number there in Hartford. And? Well, I didn't give it to her. Why not? Because she wouldn't say why she wanted to get in touch with you. Oh, fun. And knowing how busy you always are, well, I began to wonder about it. Yes? Well, after all, if she wanted to contact you about some insurance matter. Yeah. What? Well, did you call her back? That is, I tried to, but I got no answer. Then Roy, I'm going to grab that plane I was talking about. Well, now wait. Did she get to you? Did you talk to her? Yes. And it has something to do with her insurance? Plenty, so I'm flying out there, Roy, at your company's expense. Now, just a minute, Johnny. Unless, of course, you'd rather pay off her insurance to some beneficiary. Johnny. Then just be sure to have a rental car waiting for me when I pull into the airport. Item 2, 162.85 plane fare. The big mainliner took off from New York's International Airport promptly at 12.30 a.m. At 6.30 Pacific time, I stepped off the plane at LA International. This way. Oh, hi, Roy. I didn't exactly expect you to be here in person this early in the morning. Well, I am. I got a rental car ready and waiting for you out at the curb. Good. Good. But listen, you still haven't told me what this is all about. Because I'm not too sure myself. But you sounded over the phone as though something's happened to the old lady. Miss Helen Daener, I mean. That's exactly the way I meant it to sound. And since I still haven't been able to get her on the telephone. Well, what? What's happened to her? I don't know. That's my car. That's right. Oh, start making some sense, will you? I wish I could. Well, do you actually know that something's happened to Miss Daener? Nope. But if it hasn't, I've got to do everything I can to prevent it. Johnny, prevent what? Roy, I only wish I knew. Johnny. Johnny. Next to an excellent highway and light traffic, I made good time through Santa Monica, then Santa Barbara, even past the famous Pismo Beach. It was just afternoon when I pulled into Morrow Bay. When I stopped for gas, that's item 3, 420, I looked up Miss Helen Daener's address in the local phone book. It turned out to be a modest little frame house about half a mile south of Morrow Rock on the landward side of the bay. It had some nice, well-kept flower beds in front, and at the back, I could see a small, rather decrepit dock that stuck out into the bay. A brand new expensive automobile was parked on the street in front of the place. Hardly the kind of car you'd expect the sweet old lady to be driving along. Well, there was only one way to find out. Miss Helen Daener? No, I'm Betsy Daener, Helen's sister, and who are you, young man? Johnny Dollar. I'm from Hartford, Connecticut. Is your sister... Oh, yes. I've heard Helen speak of you. You're no friend of hers, aren't you? Well, yes, I guess you... Won't you come in? Well, is she here, Miss Daener? Well, she ought to be back from the market any minute. The market? She hasn't been at all, well, you know. That's why I've come to live with a sort of take care of her. I see. But I did think it was all right to let her walk down to the market this morning. Would you like to come in and wait for her? Which market, Miss Daener? Well, it's the first one down the street. Now, do you see it?  Oh, yeah, I see.  No, thanks. I'll pick her up there. Well, but Mr. Dollar... Thank you very much. Mr. Dollar! There was something very funny here, but I wasn't sure just what. Well, maybe I'd just fallen for some gag on the part of a fan on my radio program or wanted to see her favorite heroine person. In any event, there was one sure way to find out from Miss Helen Daener herself, and if she was still at the market. But as it turned out, I got that well-known kick in the face. Well, of course I know Miss Helen Norwell, sir. Then would you please point her out to me? Miss Helen? Miss Helen Daener? That's right. Oh, but she isn't here, sir. Oh, then perhaps she went to some other store. Most certainly not, sir. What?  Well, that still doesn't prove anything. Well, you see, Miss Helen hasn't been out of that house for weeks. Hasn't budged. You're... you're sure of that? Why, of course I'm... Well, what's the matter, sir? Of yours truly, Johnny Dollar and the Big H matter. If all Miss Helen Daener who telephoned me in Hartford asked me to come out here to Morro Bay in California. If Miss Daener hadn't budged from her little house in weeks, why had her sister told me she was at the market? Could all this somehow tie in with the people, the terrible people she tried to tell me about on the telephone? I jumped into my car and drove back to the little home on the bay. That's right. Now where is Helen Daener? Oh, sister came back while you were gone. Came back without my seeing her? Now listen, I was... Yes? Well, the manager of that market said it to he if she hasn't been out of this house for weeks. To the supermarket. Well, where else? And just because she isn't shopping there anymore. Oh, now look, Miss Daener, you told me... But won't you come in? I think she'll be terribly disappointed if you don't. You see, she's told me all about you now. In the couple of minutes I was away from here. An insurance investigator, I think it's awfully thrilling. But now come in and see her. I think she's been kind of expecting you. Yeah, and if you'd like to know what I think, Miss... Good lord! In the middle of the tiny living room was a heavy open armchair. Sitting in a tied down to it was a sweet-looking gray-haired lady of maybe 70 or 75.  I swung around to her so-called sister and was struck by two things. She seemed to have suddenly lost about 20 years, her face wore an unpleasant smirk, and in her right hand was a 38 aimed at me. Don't move, Mr. Dollar. Gun is not only loaded but cocked, and it has a hair trigger. Stand perfectly still because it'll be right in the middle of your back. So, while I take away your gun, I'll sit over there in that chair against the wall. You'd better do as I say, Mr. Dollar. You may have to wait a little while, so get one thing straight. Any move, any tricks, and I pull this trigger. Mind telling me what we're waiting for? You'll see. And why you've tied her up that way, that is Helen Dana, isn't it? Why, what's the matter, honey?  Then why don't I take it out for you? No, Dollar. Not a single move. Just crossing my legs. Sure. Here now, honey. I don't want you to conk out on it. After all, you may be of some use before we're through with this caper. There you are. Johnny, Johnny, I don't know what these terrible people they sneaked in while I was fooling you. Yeah, Helen, I guessed that. If only you hadn't come, but I thought you, I thought maybe. They're smugglers, Johnny, of the worst possible kind. You tell them, honey. They'll have to kill time while we're waiting for Pete and Dollar. Okay, okay. They're smuggling in narcotics heroin from the way down in Mexico. Oh, pretty smart picking a spot as far up the coast as this. Only I'd known when this man, Pete, asked if he could use my dock. He said it was to tie up his boat at night when he came in from fishing. How did you get out of them, Helen? When they saw I turned my lights up so early every night, they thought I was asleep. But I wouldn't notice he wasn't taking fish off his boat, but little cans of heroin. Heroin. Then Bessie here, who can look so sweet when she wants to. Why, Helen, I thought I was pretty sweet. Then Bessie would meet him with her car. How did you know it's Heroin? Because they told me they'd use it on me if I don't, if I don't behave myself. Which is a lot better than you'll get, Dollar. And besides, Johnny, Johnny. Yeah. I found a little of it that was spilled on the dock. And I remembered how you described it once when you caught a man bringing in the terrible stock. Yeah, she's a real smart old bitty, except when she phoned a U, Dollar, and we caught her at it. We can handle her all right. With a little H in her veins, we can even let the neighbors see her now and then. And with me acting as her sister, taking care of her. Oh, listen. Here he comes now from the doctor's. Relax, Dollar. The charming little party. Nice work, Bessie. Dollar, huh? That's right. You want to take care of him, Pete? So you made the mistake of coming out here. Believe me, Mr., it was a mistake. I said, are you going to take care of him? Well, of course, right away.  Which is to say, Dollar, we're going to do something I haven't thought of since the old days in Chicago. You and I are going to take a little ride.   That's right. Chicago style. Exactly, Dollar. Oh, Johnny, don't you see what that means? He's going to take a ride. All right, all right, honey. Just keep out of it. No, I won't. Pete's going to kill him. That's right.  Well, not just about you. Sit down. Bessie, be sure you keep the gun on him. Oh, don't worry, Pete. I had a silencer, though. I'd get rid of him here and now. Has it occurred to you, Pete, that I may have left word with them that if I'm not hurt from it? Ah, don't try to be cute, Dollar. Sure it occurred to me. I dismissed it for the simple reason that you couldn't possibly have had any reason to know what you were getting into out here. So forget it. What are you going to do with him, Pete? Well, whatever it is, we'll have to wait till after dark when this one-horse town closes up for the night. Well, then what? Well, I've got to be sure the Dollar's body won't be found until I... Shut up. ...until we're through with this operation. That means a weaker... Wait, I got it. What, Pete? Up on Cayucas Beach. Cayucas? Yeah, the little town five or six miles north of here. There's a big pile of rocks, a big cave in them. Nobody'd ever think of looking in there. So as soon as... Now, what are you doing? Just digging out a cigarette. If you don't mind. No, sure, go ahead. But this is one time the condemned man won't enjoy a hearty meal. Johnny, Johnny, isn't there anything to think I got you into this?  Listen, I told you and all you don't... Finish him off, Pete. No. Now we'll wait for dark and do it right. I guess he had really slugged me because by the time I fully came to it was night. I was in the back seat of a car driving along the highway beside the ocean. Pete was at the wheel. Beside him leaning over the back of the seat watching me was Bessie. And the 38 in her hand was aimed straight at my head. You're sure the old lady won't be able to work herself, loose Bessie? I'm sure. We'd had any sense, Pete. We would have brought her along in this ride too. But it saved us a lot of trouble late. So you've woke up, darling. Yeah. Yeah. Just stay put in that back seat. Any funny business? Now, I said any funny business. Just... Just trying to dig out the cigarette.  Or the gun either. As clumsily as possible, I struggle with a pack of cigarettes rolling and squeezing it and hoping the tobacco is funny dry. Then having apparently failed to pull out a cigarette, I turned the pack upside down over my hand. Yeah. The fine tobacco poured into it. I took a deep breath. It's a matter, darling. You need some help with that. Oh, no! No! At least she dropped the gun and put her hands to her eyes, now filled with tobacco dust.  Oh, no! It's a trailer jobs who pulled off the highway to give us a hand. Yeah, somehow those boys are always around when you need them. And he used his head. When he found my credentials in my pocket, he saw the whole picture in a flash. So he hailed down the first police car that came along and turned both Pete and Bessie over to them. Ms. Hallentainer, plus her heart, this spunky little old character was tickled pink to be involved in the whole thing. Yeah, she just can't wait to go to court and testify against those two. Expense account total, including the trip back to Hartford, 447-45. Yours truly, Johnny Dollar. All right, I'll tell you about next week's story. Next week? Well, so help me. It's the wildest case I ever got messed up with. Join us, won't you? Yours truly, Johnny Dollar. It's in Hollywood and is written, produced and directed by Jack Johnstone. Heard in our cast were Peggy Weber, Virginia Gregg, Bartlett Robinson, Joseph Curran's and Russell Thorson. Be sure to join us next week. Same time and station for another exciting story of yours truly, Johnny Dollar.


Lust is passion outside of principles love is passion within principles How do I know that Amnon did not have love is because he desired something that was forbidden What he desired the scripture says God's word said it was improper for Amnon to have tomorrow. The girl was 15 years of age. Come on, bro. Dude, really? She's your half-sister. Dude, that's not right and God said in Leviticus that Bros should not date their sisters Have sisters God's word was very clear. Do not be with someone who is part of your biological family But see God's word also says don't be unequally yoked with those who have not your faith God's word also says that a man should be with a woman and the woman should be with the man God's word also says these things but the problem a lot of times is that we have a passion that's raging and this is how you know that That passion is not love if that passion violates God's principles As a Christian for us its sin now if you are here today and you're not a follower of Jesus Christ I want to tell you something you actually have a free pass You actually can follow your passions It's not wise, but you can do that why because you are the Lord of your life You are the God of your life.    We have surrendered that right when we gave our life to Jesus We accepted him as our savior and accepted him as our Lord Because somebody say amen his word becomes the regulation for our passion.  We let God's word Control our passions Sometimes you're 15 years of age and you're sexually got awakened you realize girls exist and they're cute But it's not right time for you So what do you do?  Why because you're not ready to date if you're not ready for marriage Did you just say that I did But what about high school?   You're speaking up a hobby learn how to do things in life Learn how to have friends learn how to have hobbies instead of smooches stuff at the end of the football games and Then when it's your time to get married so you pass on to your growth and that's sexual transmitted disease and Children from different people whose context you lost already, but you pass on something that is valuable something. That's precious I'm not trying to step on anybody's toes, but I think what culture does is stupid They may they make fun of oh you guys are talking about these values like values in the 80s and their old school That stuff works And what culture does doesn't we as Christians we submit our passion to the principles of God We don't try to mix the principles to regulate our passions. You have to understand sex within marriage is beautiful Outside of marriage. It's dirty Nah, it's not it is Very simple. You see this plant that the soil within this Within this pot is a soil that cultivates the plant The very same soil Just became dirt This is dirt Within the pot it's soil. How could the same? Thing within the pot becomes something that cultivates outside of the pot something that stains Take passion outside of God's principles.    It's because you will have a hard time recovering from them


Coming up on DTNS, Microsoft shuts down its retail stores, Verizon and Unilever join the move to pull ad money from Facebook and the best TV projectors for watching in your garden. This is the Daily Tech News for Friday, June 26, 2020 in Los Angeles, I'm Tom Merritt. And from Studio Redwood, I'm Sarah Lane. Drawing the top tech stories from Cleveland, Ohio, I'm Len Peralta. I'm the show's producer, Roger Chang. And joining us, display analyst and co-host of AVXL, Robert Herron. How are you doing? Yeah, great. Thank you. It's really good to have you back. Robert, as I mentioned, is going to talk to us about projectors, big trend putting your projector outside. We're going to find out the pitfalls, maybe some model recommendations. We were just talking about prawns and the difference between prawns and shrimp and all kinds of good stuff on Good Day Internet. Become a member at patreon.com slash DTNS. Let's start with a few tech things you should know. The US issued an executive order June 22, suspending some new visas, including the H1B visa granted for specialty fields. Technology review notes that this may affect US AI research as there are not enough domestic candidates. 60% of AI researchers in the US received their undergraduate degrees outside the US. 35% of H1B visa holders have an AI related degree. Canada, the UK, France, and Australia have no visa caps for AI workers. The Canadian government has posted billboards in Silicon Valley encouraging those with visa problems to apply for work in Canada. Yeah, McGill is going to have a great time with this. A leaked Microsoft document that showed up on Twitter by user xb1 underscore hex decimal includes references to Microsoft's upcoming cheaper and less powerful next gen Xbox console codename Lockhart. The document also mentions a Lockhart profiling mode, which the verges sources say is part of the Xbox Series X developer kit codenamed Dante, letting game developers enable a special Lockhart mode that brings performance down to 7.5 gigabytes of usable RAM, a slightly underclocked CPU speed, and around four teraflops of GPU performance. The Globe and Mail reports Alphabet may be acquiring Canadian smart glasses maker North after North's Fockels product sold rather poorly even after a price cut last year from $999 to $599. Over the last few months, North had been teasing a Fockels 2.0 successor, saying it would have a lighter and sleeker design, 10X display, and be 40% smaller. The return of the consumer Google Glass, Amazon announced the launch of smart stores in India that provide digital storefronts to retailers, deployed at over 10,000 shops at launch. Smart stores uses Amazon software to log inventory, which can then be viewed by customers using a QR code. Customers can scan this code, select inventory, see the customer reviews, and pay with Amazon Pay, including the Amazon Pay later installment plan. Amazon says it does not take a percentage of sales from either customers or retailers. Former Intel engineer Francois Piednoyle told PC Gamer why he thinks Apple switched from Intel to ARM for future Mac processors. Piednoyle said, quote, the quality assurance of Skylake was more than a problem. It was abnormally bad. Basically, our buddies at Apple became the number one filer of problems in the architecture. When your customer starts finding almost as many bugs as you found yourself, you're not leading in the right place. Guess not. And Amazon announced it intends to buy the self-driving vehicle start-up. Zooks, terms of the deal, were not disclosed, but Financial Time says it will be around $1.2 billion that will be changing hands. Zooks' latest funding round in 2018 valued the company at $3.2 billion. But what's important is Zooks will continue to operate as a standalone business within Amazon and keep its executive leadership in place. Amazon has previously invested in the self-driving startup Aurora and currently uses self-driving trucks developed by Embark to haul cargo on the 10. That's a highway. All right, let's talk a little more about the big news today. This is what woke me up. Well, it didn't actually wake me up. I woke up and then this was the first thing I saw. Microsoft, what are they doing? Knock it on your door. Microsoft announced it will permanently close almost all of its Microsoft Store retail locations. Stores in London, New York City, Sydney, and Redmond will be converted to Microsoft Experience Centers. The company plans to focus on using Microsoft.com for customer support, for sales, and for training. The company also said retail store team members will continue to serve customers from Microsoft corporate facilities and remotely providing sales, training, and support. Yeah, nobody seems to believe, well, not nobody. I see a lot of people like, so what is really going to happen to the store employees, but it sounds like Microsoft is like, we're just going to keep them on as support. Everybody's working from home anyway. So we might as well, if we're going to be paying them, pay them to do customer support and sales that they're trained for in the store. Just do it for our online store. And it does sound like this was in place to happen before COVID-19. And Microsoft definitely closes their stores like everybody else due to the virus, but all of the sources seem to indicate that Microsoft was looking at doing this anyway. Yeah. And if it was because of this, they might have done it at a different time. I don't know, but it sounds like they're just realizing that they don't get enough sales out of these stores. And the ones that they do get a benefit from don't really get a benefit in actually selling units, but get a benefit in exposing people to their products, and that's what they're going to do with these experience centers. Yeah, I mean, imagine if Apple was like, yeah, we're closing all of our retail stores, but we wanted to anyway, before the coronavirus hit. That would be a huge deal.  And maybe there was no real expansion plan. And the fact that they are going to keep some flagship stores in a few major cities where Microsoft has, you know, a good present as experience centers means, you know, it's not as if they don't think anybody can benefit from a hands-on experience or, you know, getting a little bit more information about what the company's got going on. But this, yeah, this sounds like the whole pandemic part of this may have hurried some plans that had been in place for some time. Robert, have you ever been to a Microsoft store? Not once. I couldn't even tell you shut them down where one was. However, I do see the reviews online by people I trust the products do seem to be getting better, but I'm also not an Apple store user either, but I'm not a huge Apple user. So yeah, I mean, it's just, it seems like the right time for them to do this. And if it can help them, I doubt it's going to lower the cost, but just simply add more profit. I think they're going to sell pretty much the same number of these devices. It's simply in a more convenient way, like online shopping. Those experience centers will be interesting. I went to one for Samsung in Tokyo, and it was just like a lot of fun things to do to get you to like the Samsung products, and they didn't have stuff on the shelves. You could order one, but you were still having to order it to be mailed to you in that. So I'm wondering if that's what Microsoft's going to do. In downtown Seoul, Samsung actually has like a technology center that was half shopping where you could buy some of the most latest devices if you're willing to pay for it. And have that initial experience in a place. I never, never saw that replicated again anywhere else, but it was nice to at least see that, have the very latest devices where you could actually put hands on and play with them. And if you want to take one home, it was doable. Of course, none of you have fallen for what I'm about to talk about, but a lot of folks out there have been fooled into thinking that Apple and Google are installing contact tracing on your phone without your permission. As with all good lies, there is some truth mixed into it, making it more convincing. One of the truths is that Apple and Google have, as we've talked about on this show, added support for exposure notification to their operating systems. That's just it. Support. The operating systems now include an exposure notification setting that you can turn on. It is off by default. And even if you turn it on at this point, it doesn't do anything unless you choose to download and install an app from your local government that takes advantage of it. And you have to install that app yourself. And most regions of the world don't even have an app that is going to be able to take advantage of it. XDA developers published a list showing only 19 countries have Google Apple-compatible exposure notification apps in development. In the U.S., only four states. So U.S. counts as a country, but only four states are developing one of those. And only 10 countries have released an app that works on the Google Apple exposure notification platform. Those include Uruguay, Switzerland, Saudi Arabia, Poland, Philippines, Latvia, Italy, Germany, Denmark, and Austria. My Pixel phone had that update about this month. I think it popped up. And it made it very clear that nothing was enabled, and it's simply the back-end support for applications like that.  And the fact that there were so many and continue to be different versions of contact tracing or exposure notification apps. And in some cases, certain governments have pulled back from one and gone to another. Apple and Google obviously have gotten a lot of, a lot of, you know, it's been a high-profile project that has been picked up by some companies in some states and some private companies as well, that, you know, it's, it doesn't surprise me that a lot of people are confused and saying, you know, I, I, I do not want to be part of this. Well, you don't have to be. You've got the, it's probably a good idea to be part of it. So there's more data to keep everybody safe. But, but yeah, this is not the kind of my rights are being taken away that, that some people have gone to. I really appreciated the way Google presented it to me on my update. It simply said, Hey, look, in the future, if this ever occurs, you totally have the right to completely opt out of this. And here are the controls for it. And I can't complain. If only people read all the words. You know, okay, that takes a long time. Yeah, I know. You know, well, Thursday, the Anti-Defamation League pointed out that a Verizon ad appeared next to a video from a conspiracy group pushing anti-Semitic content. Verizon had joined several other companies and pulled its advertising from Facebook properties. That's where the ad showed up. Unilever said it will pause advertising not only on Facebook properties, but also on Twitter. Unilever told the Verge, quote, continuing to advertise on these platforms at this time would not add value to people and society, end quote. Last week, several organizations called for an advertising pause on Facebook in July and protest over moderation practices. The Wall Street Journal reported that Facebook sent advertisers a memo last week saying it does not make policy changes tied to revenue pressure. However, during Facebook's weekly all hands meeting, CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced new measures regarding misinformation. Facebook will add a label to post now from politicians that otherwise violate policies noting it was newsworthy. A prompt will be added before sharing to let people know the content violates policies. And Facebook will also add false claims regarding elections and threats of voter interference to a list of postband, no matter who posted them. An ad that claims certain types of people are a threat or suggest that those groups are inferior will now be banned as well. Those are all fine moves, I suppose, by Facebook. None of them addressed the problems that Verizon, Unilever, REI, Ben and Jerry's have, which is that their ads were showing up next to conspiracy theory content, not showing up to other ads, not showing up next to posts from politicians that were showing up next to content that should have been removed in these companies opinion, but wasn't. So Facebook announcing all this stuff is great, and I'm sure it's leaked out of the all hands meeting in response to these advertisers, but it doesn't address their concerns. Robert, what do you make of all this? I left Facebook a few years ago, and the only reason I maintain an account is simply because I have a couple of companies and businesses I work with where I need to access their profiles and things like that.  And what use to anyone really is it? If you really need to keep in touch with people, you should be doing that on a far more personal level than, you know, blowing out the latest.  I think it was the very case Casey Newton who tweeted this morning like, listen, ad budgets have shrunk significantly this year. You know, why not get some accolades for something that you might have been doing anyway? So there's there's probably a little bit of that going on with some of these companies, although, you know, the I understand that if you're Verizon and you're like, whoa, we don't want to be associated with this Facebook, like do better that that that is a legitimate concern. And you leave her when as far as you leave her when as far as to say our budget will be the same. We're going to spend the same amount of money. We're just going to spend it in different places. I would hope this would be like a heads up for folks that's like, hey, look, there are better places to spend your ad dollars. And that service is really in essence of no good in the net gain or loss to its service to our society. So if they burn and die, I, you know, I think it's going to take a lot more advertisers moving to really put a dent in too many people feel like the real silver blade who say too many people I know use Facebook, I can't leave it. And and you may disagree with that, Robert, but that's how a lot of people feel is like I'd like to leave, but it's the only way I can talk to my grandma. It's the only way I can keep in touch with family, share photos easily, whatever it is. Granted, there are other ways of doing it, but they're not as easy. And especially when you're dealing with people who don't want to change. So I don't know unless we keep seeing more Verizon Unilever is huge Verizon's huge. If we see more of those on this bandwagon, then it may start to hurt Facebook. And we may see them change their policy. But even right now, I'm not sure it's going to have much of an effect. Input magazine notes that the new icon interface design in Mac OS is an example of a new wave in user interface design called new morphism. That's N. E. U. Morphism. It's predecessor skew morphism focused on realism in textures and surfaces. You remember skew morphism. It's when it's when you'd see a real to real player on an audio icon, right? Designs reaction to that was to skew morphism was the flat design that freed designers from having to emulate a 3D object. So that's when you could just put a music note on a flat design. New morphism focuses on bringing back 3D with light. In other words, instead of simulating objects, it simulates light. So instead of going back to a real to real, it would put some 3D effects on the on the music note. So leaving it in the flat design, but just adding some depth to it. Those in favor of new morphism say you can take the positives from flat design and make them 3D critics might say it's just adding drop shadows and outer glows unnecessarily. And it doesn't help you. I in fact, it might confuse people. You know, Tom and I were talking before the show that that this is just one of these things that doesn't get us fired up either way. It's sort of like whatever the icon is, I'll get used to it in a day or two kind of thing. I asked a friend of mine who is who is a designer of this type of thing, you know, by trade. And I said, what do you think of new morphism? And he goes, it's skew morphism again. That's all it is.  And when everything starts looking the same, then someone gets the edge to kind of, you know, pull away from the pack. And I said, okay, but do you do you like them? And he said, well, it's Apple, you know, it's it's let's see what what new morphism looks like when yeah, it is a crappy drop shadow. And it doesn't look that good. And it isn't helping anybody, you know, further, you know, the the the way modern design is a little bit of it. Exactly. Yeah. I don't know. I think they look fine. Mostly we just wanted you to know you're going to hear people talking about new morphism. Now you know what it is. Exactly. The iOS 14 beta included a security feature to alert users when an app reads information on that user's phones clipboards. So you know, it's like a copy thing. Users of the app, TikTok reported that they were receiving notifications about clipboard access by the app every few seconds. In fact, there are some videos that floated around where it's like, you know, TikTok saved something, TikTok saved something from your clipboard and you know, kind of freaked a few people out. In a statement to the Telegraph, TikTok said that the notifications were the result of systems designed to identify repetitive spammy behavior, and that the app had submitted an update to the app store to remove this anti spam feature. The company also says a similar system was never introduced on its Android app. Only iOS nine to five Mac reports that other popular apps that read clipboard content include Starbucks, Overstock, AccuWeather and several other popular news apps. Yeah, I don't know how you feel about this, Robert. I always assume that anything I'm putting on my clipboard could be read by any program on my device. But at the same time, I don't assume that those apps are going to be constantly looking at my clipboard. That does seem to be excessive and I'm not sure how it really helps identify spammy behavior because I don't see a whole lot of other apps doing this. What do you think I would never allow a general application to have that kind of access? And I would hope at least on the Android platform that they would provide in something similar to what iOS is doing with 14 and just giving you that notification saying this is what the app is doing. And with at least on the Android platform, anytime those events occur, it gives you those three options. It's like allow only when the app is running or prevent it every single time and or or whatever you'd like to do. But it gives you that choice for each individual app. And I'm now super curious if if and what apps do have access to the clipboard function on Android. Well, all apps have access to your clipboard, but they don't they should only be looking at it when you want them to write. They shouldn't be able to just go spy on your clipboard while you're copying the password from your vault, right? Oh, that or or you just made a shopping list. And suddenly it was like, oh, hey, that thing you cut and paste into your shopping list is now popping up as advertising on these several platforms to better target you, because that's that's really what we need to do. And yeah, it's a free thing. And I'm really glad to see iOS doing something to make it easier for the user just to at least see it and respond appropriately. Yeah. Well, folks, if you want to get all the tech headlines each day in about five minutes, be sure to subscribe to DailyTechHeadlines.com. And what are the hot trends out there right now? As people are like, not wanting to go out as much or maybe not even be able to go out as much depending on where you are right now is to put a projector outdoor so you can get a big screen outdoor. Enjoy the summertime movie projection apologies to folks in the southern hemisphere. You'll get this next year. But listen to Robert and remember it for when summer comes to you. Robert, what are some of your recommendations for outdoor projectors? Number one, every projector, no matter what its price point really technically can be used outdoors. Now there's a level of risk where you probably don't want to take the fanciest projector outside. You want something if everything goes wrong and it slams into the ground while it's running, you won't have a conniption fit. So number one, it's good to have that projector that you are comfortable having these special projects with and one of them is bringing it outside. And there are a lot of ways to do that quite easily. One, you're going to need some kind of power source to run it out in the backyard. And it's good just to have a sturdy extension cord with plenty of wattage because you might also be driving other devices, be it a source device to connect it to. And that can be anything from a game console to a portable device to say even like I doubt you're going to drag your cable box outside. But for other things, in addition to a projector that's already consuming say 350-400 watts, I would say number one, have a good extension cord so you can put it securely where you want it, keep it set up. And then like I mentioned, think about the video sources you want to connect to these devices. It is very flexible in terms of any HDMI device you have can literally plug into these devices and display a picture 10 foot across or 10 foot diagonal, no problem. Now you think about things like game consoles, but on the back of many projectors nowadays are USB ports that can drive if required the additional power that might be needed for a plug-in device like a streaming stick from any of the competitors. And on many projectors nowadays, especially ones that aren't at the very bottom of the value bucket, they do include more than one HDMI port. So not only can you have your cable running right into it with your source device, but also your other maybe streaming devices as well, gives you a little more flexibility. But in the case you go with a value projector, you can always connect something like an inexpensive video switch to it to provide multi-device input through a single cable. And some of these affordable switching devices also provide ways of extracting audio out to external devices. Many projectors nowadays, especially value projectors, do incorporate speakers built into them. Now they may be like three to 10 watts in power. They probably won't sound awe inspiring, but it is better than nothing and it's super handy when you need just a quick and dirty setup, especially for things like game consoles in a room. Now for screens, you can literally point a projector at anything. You can point it at closed drapes. You can point it at a blank wall. It generally helps to have a neutral colored thing. But it should be flat. My head is probably not going to work well. But yeah, ideally not overly textured. So you're not suddenly focusing on the screen itself rather than the projected image. But keep that in mind. You can I use a portable projection screen that's about 80 inches in diagonal. It sets up in about five minutes and I can take it down in about five minutes. I love that size in particular because it's smaller than say a 10 foot screen. We're talking just 80 inches instead of 120. When you can compress that image down with the focus or with the zoom on a projector or in some cases you literally have to just simply move the projector closer to get it to fit right. You get a brighter picture with smaller screens. Now for outdoor use sometimes it's nice to have that portable screen. And if you look around on Amazon they have great screens at all price points. I've seen outdoor screens that I would even recommend starting at 50 bucks for like a 10 footer that you literally just tie off the corners make sure it's taught and flat point your screen at it and go. Now when it comes to basically gaming itself latency can be an issue on some projectors a lot of projectors are really made to just simply be fed a quality video signal and it will it will display it if there's latency involved that can all be hidden on the back side and sync properly. But when it comes to gaming you really do want to look for projectors that at least have maybe a game mode or a way to provide lower latency in terms of that audio video presentation. So if you are going to play the latest Twitch games you have a better than average chance of having really good performance between what your hands are doing and what you're actually seeing on the screen. Now picking any projector the first thing you want to look at is overall where it works the best in terms of screen sizes and distance from the screen it needs to be to project that particular size damage the calculators that are available online either from sources like projector central dot com or if you go to any manufacturers website they will give you an estimate based usually on say like a hundred inch screen what the distance that projector has to be to or from the screen and that'll tell you something also about the lens setup on it whether or not it even offers something like a decent zoom or not at all. It kind of gives you an idea for the size image you want where that projector has to be to give you something worth doing. Some projectors also incorporate over the air tuners. LG is famous for this just about every one of their home cinema projectors incorporates an over the air tuner where literally you can connect a pair of rabbit ears or a cheap antenna and have live TV right on that same device. Other projectors also incorporate apps and other things built right into the projector. You'll generally pay a little bit more for those kinds of features but it's it's a it's something to consider if you want kind of more all in one I'd rather it be more TV than a device where I'm adding things to it to get to work the way I want. Finally when you go to set this all up I highly recommend you have a decent base stand to put everything on. There is nothing worse for a running projector regardless of the technology to have that accidentally somebody trip on a wire or to have it fall while running. It is almost guaranteed to cause some damage that is undesirable. So and also these devices give off a little bit of heat and that's something else to keep in mind if you plan on stacking devices or having it sitting right next to the gaming console. It might not be the greatest idea. Especially during the summer you know when you're outside. Now for just where you put a screen in the backyard or wherever if there's an option to put it like under something with shade it will improve the image quality dramatically. Like if you have a tree or an awning or something that at least by the time say four or 5 p.m. rolls around and the the sun is starting to go down that more shaded area will make the picture pop even more so. And thank you Robert. We've got some recommendations from Robert on exact models if you're like wait but which one should I get. He's got a couple of Tomas an Epson home and an LG and those will be in our show notes at daily tech news show dot com. You can join the conversation in our discord which you can join by linking to a patreon account at patreon dot com slash D T N S. If you have some outdoor projector tips that would be a good place to tell your peers. Let's check out the mailbag. Oh let's do it. So yesterday on Good Day Internet with Justin Robert Young we were talking about wanting good and trustworthy and local sources of COVID-19 data like specific enough down to the county level rather than state level depending on where you live sometimes state information isn't super helpful for where you are specifically and we got some really good tips. Got Nate in discord suggested at covid act now dot org we're going to have all these links in the show notes by the way Alan emailed in and suggested world of meters dot info he said he found it in a reddit thread and he thinks it's pretty helpful. Norm suggested weather dot coms corona virus section and also public health dot LA County dot gov obviously that's where he lives but certain counties may have similar information that will help you as well. Actually that's not where Norm lives but he was suggesting that for me because that's where I live and he was saying you might look at your local county and you might get some good good stats there. I really like covid act now dot org that got Nate suggested that's a really good one that I had not been looking at so but thanks to everybody for suggesting all of these. Absolutely. Hey shout out to patrons at our master and grand master levels including Philip less for Frederick Huebner and James P. Callison. Len Peralta has been illustrating the show. Len what have you drawn for us today? You know I have been thinking about doing an outdoor theater since we have room in our backyard. So having Robert on the show was a huge boon. I have a lot of questions for him probably after show as well. But this image is called the great outdoor cinema. And it's it's how I sort of envision it going right. Like if you do a good enough setup right. You got to you got someone coming through like a like an usher coming through is going to ask hey can I see your tickets on. Can I use your bathroom too. I mean because he doesn't live in your house. Yeah it's just well he's just you know it's just going to be field. You know we get so get a nice popcorn machine back there. That's not sure should be wearing a mask if he's going to go right. Yes. You're absolutely unsafe. Russia wasn't even thinking about it. You know it's yeah I'm I'm excited to to try maybe to convince my family to do it and we'll see if that happens.

This is a video about lab on density. It's supposed to be a lab on density in specific gravity, but I don't care about specific gravity because it's not, well, the specific gravity calculations that you would be doing would not really make a lot of sense, so we're going to skip it. So I'm going to talk about density, which is what you're going to do for a lab. Density is a feature that all material objects have. It has a mathematical definition. Here is the definition of density. It is the mass of your material divided by the volume of your material. Mass is pretty close to weight, so basically density is how much something weighs roughly that I'm cutting a corner there, but close enough, divided by how much space it takes up, which is called the volume. And the units for mass, usually, you know, if you're using something related to the metric system, it will be grams, kilograms, things like that. And units for volume, liters, milliliters, cubic centimeters, things like that. And those units don't cancel each other, so you have grams, kilograms, some mass unit in the numerator, you have liters, milliliters, cubic centimeters, something related to that in the denominator and they don't cancel. What that means is when you perform a density calculation and you get some number out, called the density, the units will always be some mass number divided by a volume number. A common unit for density is grams per milliliter, but it doesn't have to be that. Those units could be other ones. So all materials have a density. Solids have a density, so if you have a brick, it weighs something, it takes up a certain amount of space, you can figure out its density as long as you can get numbers on that. Gold, lead, ice, all of those things have densities. Liquids have densities as well. And one thing that I want to point out is that for a lot of materials, if you're very careful and you're very specific about the temperature that you do the experiment at, a lot of times the density of your material can be a fingerprint for what the material is made of. So in other words, gold has a very specific density. And if you have a material that has a density that matches the density of gold, then it's a pretty good chance that the material you have is gold. Not guaranteed, but that's usually true, and that's true for a lot of different materials. Lead has a density that's pretty specific to lead, and on and on and on. So I want you to realize that density, a lot of times, is used to help identify what materials are made of. Like I said, liquids have densities as well, because they weigh something and take up a certain amount of space. Even gases have densities. So the air in the room that you're in, it has a density. It weighs something. It might not weigh much, but it does weigh something, and it takes up a certain amount of space. And so if you could figure out those numbers, you could plug them in up here, and you could get the density. So if I gave you the mass and the volume of something, you could figure out the density, just as I'm going to make up these numbers. So pretend I have some little block or something, and I'm just going to keep this really simple. Let's say that weighs 6 grams, and so that's its mass. And the volume, I don't know, 18 milliliters, or 18 cubic centimeters. That's the volume. And I'm just making these numbers up. And if I said, hey, what's the density of this material, you would break out this formula and you'd plug the mass into the numerator, plug the volume into the denominator, so you'd say 6 grams divided by 18 milliliters, and that is going to be 0.3 repeating, but with significant digits that, you know, there's a certain way you're supposed to write this that I don't care about. And like I said, those units don't cancel. So the way that you would write the density is 0.3 grams per milliliter. Just like this. There is no number written next to the milliliter, but there is a number implied to be there, and that's the number 1. That's almost always true. If you see a unit with no number next to it, the number 1 is almost certainly implied to be next to it. So what this density is saying is that for every 1 milliliter worth of my block, that 1 milliliter worth weighs about 0.3 grams. If I have twice as much, if I have 2 milliliters of block, then it's going to weigh twice as much. 0.6 grams, or 0.6 repeating. So that's how you calculate density. So the other thing that I wanted to point out is the density formula. I'm just going to simplify it here, d equals m divided by v. There are three places where you can put a number. You can put a number to the left, put a number in the numerator, you can put a number in the denominator. As long as you know two of the three numbers, you can use algebra to figure out the third. Obviously the problem that we just did, I gave you those two numbers, and I asked you to figure out the number on the left. But it doesn't have to be that way. I could give you the density number, and I could give you the mass, and you should be able to figure out the volume. And basically that, you know, if you want to memorize this you can, but volume is going to equal, screw that up, volume is going to equal the mass divided by the density, and then, well it's the third thing, I could give you the density and I could give you the volume, and ask you to figure out the mass, and so that, that's a third formula. Mass is equal to the density times the volume like that. So if you want to sort of memorize these three equations, you're welcome to do that. There are other ways of reasoning through it as well. There's this triangle symbol that my students use. I feel like they're performing a satanic ritual whenever they break this thing out, and I hate it, but I will show it to you. It makes my skin crawl, but students love it. How does it go? It goes like this. So there's some triangle, and it's broken into these parts like that, where there's a D and M and a V for density, mass, and volume. Basically the idea is, if you don't know the density, then you do mass, and then it's on top of the volume, so you do mass divided by volume. Or you could be in this situation where if you don't know the mass, then you do density times the volume because they're right next to each other. Or the third situation, if you don't know the volume, but you know the other two, well, the mass is over the density, so volume is going to be mass over density. Students love this. I hate it, but I have a feeling that many of you will like it. So there it is, I just sold my soul. Specific gravity, I said I don't care about. Specific gravity is basically, it's related to density. It's when you take the density of one thing and you compare it to the density of some other thing that everybody is using as a reference. Usually people are using water, the density of water as a reference, and the density of water under the conditions that people usually use it is one gram per milliliter. Specific gravity of something would be density of whatever your thing is, density of my stuff divided by the density of water because that's what we're comparing it to, and that's one gram per milliliter, but you're just taking your density number in these cases and dividing it by one, so you end up with the same number, which students feel like you're just wasting their time because you're just asking them to divide by one. There's a little bit more going on there than that, but not much. So we're going to ignore it, blah, blah, blah, and this is what you would have done in an on-ground lab, we're going to skip it. You're going to do something similar to this in the lab handout. You would have also figured out the density of some solids. Again, I'll go over the lab itself in a tiny bit of detail. And there was a bit about density of pennies, you can ignore that too. All right, here's the actual lab. Here's a video where they suggest to watch them. It's probably a reasonably good idea to watch that video. It might help explain anything that I explained poorly. Here you have some data to figure out the density of a couple of different liquids. Calculate the density of number one, number two, which one of them is water. Explain why this is related to me. Remember I said that density of a lot of things can be used to figure out what those things are, so which one is water. You might have to look some things up on the internet. Here's another video. This video is okay too, a little bit. The person talks like they have a poll at their ass, but what are you going to do? Here, basically you're going to try to figure out the density of this block. And remember you need the mass, you need to write it by the volume. So maybe the tricky thing here is you need to figure out the volume of this block. But what they are doing is they're giving you enough information. They're telling you the dimensions of the block. They're telling you how long it is, how wide it is over here. They're telling you how tall it is. And if you remember if you have a simple box like that volume, it's going to be equal to the length times a width times a height. And that's related to, I think, last week's video. So if this doesn't make any sense, you can go back and watch last week's video about how to compute a volume of a box. And so you've got some data there. Tell me the volume. Here's the mass. Figure out the density. Hopefully that makes sense. Then you've got some weird object, right? Here's some weird looking object. There's no simple formula to figure out the volume of that object. You can weigh it. So if you want to figure out the density, you can weigh it. And it's pretty easy to figure out the mass. Volume. No simple formula. You can't break out a ruler and figure out the volume of that thing. But what you can do, and I believe I covered this in a previous video, too, is you can measure the volume of a weirdly shaped object using something called volume by displacement. And in this case, what you would do is you pour some liquid into a graduated cylinder. So here's our liquid in a graduated cylinder. You measure the volume of the liquid all by itself. You throw your weird object into the liquid. Volume goes up by a certain amount. You measure the new volume. And then the difference between the new volume and the old volume is the volume of your weirdly shaped object. And then you basically have the pieces you need for density. So you can go and finish up. Blah, blah, blah. What's the density of the object? What is it made of? You may have to look at another website to figure that out. And that's it. Look at that. No specific gravity. All right, bye-bye, everybody.


Hey guys, so in this video I did 10 healthy habits consecutively for one week to see how it would make me feel. These habits consisted of getting up at the same time every morning, not checking my phone 30 minutes after waking up, making my bed every morning, meditation, drinking 8 glasses of water per day, movement, making a green juice every day, spending 10 minutes cleaning, journaling, and reading before bed instead of going on my phone. Stay tuned to see how Doomi's habits consecutively made me feel. Hey guys, so I haven't even touched my phone yet. I already drank water. I did my meditation. Now I'm on the way because I need to go to the grocery store because I need to get green shit, like kale, because I want to make a green juice, which is part of the healthy habit criteria. So I just need to go to the grocery store to get that kind of stuff, and I just wanted to zip out like right away. Um, I just literally finished my meditation not too long ago, so I just wanted to zip out right away because I didn't want to like leave it. I kind of want to drink it in the morning or before I have a coffee or anything just because I feel like I have an empty stomach right now. So I feel like I'll get the most benefits out of the green juice if I drink it on an empty stomach. But yeah, I'm just sipping out to the grocery store. I haven't even touched my phone yet. It's been over half an hour now, which is pretty impressive for me because usually I go on my phone while I'm still in bed for about 10 minutes before I actually get out of bed. So I actually am really loving not like being on my phone because I'm not getting distracted. Like I'm not laying in bed for an extra 10 minutes before I get up. Like I just got up. It's a really good feeling. I actually think that I'm gonna definitely keep this habit into my like daily life. So yeah, let's go green juice shopping. Also a side note, I literally am wearing shorts. I wanted to wear athletic wear, so it'll motivate me to like go on a walk, to do some movement, come for later. But I literally wear shorts and a hoodie and I step outside and it's freezing cold. Like it's literally negative 20 million degrees. I'm like, are you kidding me?  She's really freezing today. Okay, so from the grocery store, I got some nice kale. I got some Swiss chard and I'm just going to be juicing all of this. I don't know. I'm probably not going to use this all for the juice today because I just want to make like one small portion. So I'm going to save it for the rest of the days that I'm doing this. I also got ginger because I potentially want to make ginger shots. It's good for this time of year to get my immunity up. So I just made a little bit because I just want to do one portion for me. I still need to like strain this through. So there's still a little bit more to be in here. So I did carrots, apples, pears, kale, but yeah, hopefully it's good. I'm going to taste it to make sure it's sweet enough.  I did not plan this to fill up perfectly. This just literally happened. Cheers. This is so good. It has kind of like a really green aftertaste if that makes sense. Like a kale-y aftertaste, but it's definitely really good. You got to make sure to like put carrots or apples or something sweet in there because if you're just drinking straight up kale, that's not going to taste good. It makes me just feel so healthy. You know what I mean? Success. Okay guys, for my movement today, I'm going to soccer practice. So that's going to be about an hour, which is good enough for my movement today. Yeah, it's currently eight o'clock and that's what I'm doing. And we're going to check off the rest of the things after my soccer. So see you later. Okay. So I'm going to be making the exact same juice as yesterday. The Swiss chard, the kale, the two carrots, and then I had two pears and then one apple. It was actually so good. So I'm actually really excited to drink this and it also makes me feel just so healthy because I know that I'm getting some greens in of this for myself. I'm just going to go to bed after I take off the space mask and then finish off my skincare. This is so tight, like I let it dry for a little too long. But yeah, day two, I'm feeling really good. I drink all my water. I feel like I'm not going pee as much. I don't know. I just feel like I didn't go pee an excessive amount today, which is good.  And I even like went over the amount of water today, like I drink a little bit extra even. I'm so into the book I'm reading. It's by Colleen Hoover and it's called It Ends With Us. So good. So far, like I don't want to end the book. Like I'm literally trying to read it slowly on purpose so that I don't have to finish it and they're making a movie about it and I'm so like I cannot be more excited. Anyways, day two is going great. I'm excited to continue this for tomorrow. Honestly, I just feel like the healthiest version of myself is doing these habits just to actually feel really healthy and in tune. So far, so good. The only thing that's not going to make me feel good right now is how tight the space mask is getting because I'm leaving the opportunity long.  And I'll see you guys tomorrow. Okay, so I just went into Starbucks and I got a coffee. So I haven't made like my green juice yet because usually I've been like drinking that before I eat or drink or whatever, but I decided that I'm like going out today. So I'll make it when I get back and I'll just have like more like a lunchy evening type of green juice just because it's so time consuming. See the thing is, it's like I love having it. Like I really do love having the green juice, but it's so time consuming like to clean the machine, to wash the vegetables. It's honestly the clean up that's the most time consuming. It takes me probably like half an hour just to make that one glass. So yeah, that's the only thing about it is how time consuming it is. And that's why I can see how it's like hard for people to do that like every day. So I just made a little cute skincare corner in my vanity in the bathroom here because I'm really getting into skincare nowadays and I just wanted to have like a designated corner to motivate me to have my beautiful products on display just because it looks cute and also it'll motivate me to do my skincare more often because I want to get like more into that. Yeah, I literally love how cute it looks. I'm obsessed. Okay, so I ran out of vegetables like kale and stuff to make the rest for the last two days of this. So I came to the grocery store. We're going to grab some. So we're going to get some kale and some like the same things that I got last time. Let's go. Really just now having the green juice because I was just out of the house and it just like I didn't have time for it until like right now. So sticking to it last day of doing the green juice. Honestly, doing the green juice is like makes me feel so healthy and I love it and I want to do it more often.  So it is now five o'clock and I'm going to have it as my pre-dinner juice I guess which is not like a bad thing. At least I'm getting it in me, you know. So yeah, latest I've had it yet though. So I've officially completed the healthy habits challenge and I just wanted to come on here to give you guys like an overview of how it went. Was it worth it? A review. So overall, I think that these habits are perfect for somebody that wants to better themselves is feeling not so productive on their day to day basis. Wants things to like improve their mental health potentially because everything that I did honestly was kind of like a form of self-care. So I think it's really beneficial. Although I don't think it would be beneficial to everyone because obviously everybody likes doing different things and everybody's different. But overall, I see it as very beneficial and makes you feel very productive. Although it does take a lot of time and you got to put your mind to it. It's very easy just to do one of these things and then not feel like doing the rest. So if you want to do them, you have to kind of commit, put your mind to it and kind of set a list daily so that you actually get them accomplished. Otherwise it's really easy not to do them. So some of the things that I had like in the habits list I already kind of did but I didn't do every single day. Like it was something that I would do maybe a few times a week when I would remember or feel like it or have time. It's just like very time consuming especially like the green juice is probably the most time consuming thing on the list. But if you're down to do it, then try it. I mean just try it for a few days, try all these habits. Honestly made me feel really good and tuned and very productive like I said before. But yeah, if you guys are curious on how it feels, you know, to be on a little program like this and do these types of things every single day, I would say just try it, set your mind to it for like five days. Just give yourself like a Monday to Friday. Try and incorporate it in your schedule. But overall, I think that these habits honestly do make you feel good inside. At least they did for me. Yeah, thank you guys so much for coming along this journey and watching this video. I really appreciate it and I hope you learned something from it. I hope you got some motivation, some inspiration. Honestly, some days it was like, oh, I don't want to clean today or I don't want to drink so much water today. But you just kind of have to push through those kind of thoughts and just do it. And then I feel like it's better for you in the long run because everything on the list is like good, healthy mindset and good, healthy things to do. So thank you guys so much for watching and I will see you in my next video. Peace out.


We have with us, Mr. Basil Chapman from Harvard University. Basil, how are you doing today, my friend? Hi Larry, how are you? Good to speak to you. You knew that I went to Harvard, didn't you? Yeah, I drove by myself a few times. No, no, I went to lunch there too. Hey, what are you seeing in the market? Are you seeing this crazy volatility that I'm seeing or am I just being? Well, I must, you know, it's really interesting because as far as I'm concerned, you see this all the time. It's just that today it was a little squashed and it happened a little quicker. But, you know, you can see the, you know, I've got it. In fact, I've got 100, I don't know if you can see it. I've got 120 minute chart up here. And there's this pattern that I call, it's the Eiffel Tower. What happens is the price spikes up sharply and then gives it all back almost in one move. And it looks like, it looks like the Eiffel Tower goes straight up and straight down, very narrow lane up and down. It also looks like an uppercase and it fails. But then what happened is I have a pattern that I call and I thought I'd talk about this just because you're all about patterns. I've got your book right here at the back. Trade what you see. I love reading it. This is always so much to learn. But there's a pattern, there are patterns that I look at all the time. And one is, I don't know if you've noticed it, but sometimes the chart just goes into this really long, narrow rectangle. And you keep thinking it's going to break to the top and it refuses.  And then you think it's going to break to the bottom and it doesn't goes right back from the bottom to the top to the bottom. It just keeps doing that until eventually it pops out a little bit to the top side. And then it usually comes all the way back and takes out the low and just it wipes out longs and shorts. And then it goes back into that channel. Or there's another channel that I love to look at which is the large rectangle. My expression for the long narrow rectangle is it lasts a lot longer than your patients. And the large rectangle, which is what we're looking at right now is this one that you can see. I don't know if you can see it, but I've got it perfect. Yeah, it looks like a big. You see this cup formation. Yep. And I always talk about cup. Here's the one minute chart of the E-mini. Here's this cup formation. I'll call it about price symmetry. We can get the exact number of bars to the upside to the number of bars to the downside. But every once in a while you get a lopsided one where there's a rectangle formation. And I'm always looking at a low bar that takes you to at least four higher peaks. Peak A, the next one, even by one penny is vague bead stars. And then it becomes a peak B for it makes a peak. And then it goes C and a D. And fourth highest peak is the objective in the chamfer wave methodology. It can go higher, but it really objective is to get you to that D. And if you're looking at this pattern of the rectangle, you can see there's this cup formation. I've outlined this in pink. You can just see it was not pink and yellow. It's great. But this is big rectangle and it has already gone to a D. But I know you don't use these things, but I use nine-period moving average, a 14-period moving average for the very short term. I use the mag D, the moving average convergence say virgins. I use the stochastic over 80% or under 20%. And these are all positive at this particular time. So here we are in this rectangle and we've gone slightly above the previous high and it's trying its best to get to the upper part of the rectangle. And my rule of thumb here is that if this sharp move down starts to make higher highs and higher lows, it can make those four peaks that takes you to just under the previous high, right on or just above and then you got to be careful. So now we've got this rally that's going and you can see the one-minute chart. So I'm using these particular techniques and in my show, the Tiger Technicians Hour 10 o'clock each morning, Eastern Time, I often do these, I often do them live as well just to show the veracity of the techniques. Hey folks, stay with us. Basil Chapman and I will be back. Talk more about charts in just a moment.<PHONE_NUMBER>. Okay folks, we're back and we're talking with Basil Chapman. And he was, this is Larry Pesavento and Basil Chapman setting in for Tom O'Brien today. Basil, you were referring to that cup and handle pattern. I don't know if you remember when they started investment business daily way back in, I think it was in 1882. Well, yes. Yeah. Well, the number two man beside Bill is, was Al McGregor. Al passed away about four or five years ago. Well, his son, his son, Mike happens to be my daughter's significant other. Oh, very nice. Yeah, they've known the family because they went to high school together all those years. It was her second boyfriend, I believe. She married her first boyfriend. He passed away seven, eight years ago. And then of course he's been, she's been with Mike ever since. Good family, nice people, but Bill O'Neill was a real class act. And he said he could- And what he did to charts, I mean, it was unbelievable. There was nothing in the Wall Street Journal occasionally that have a chart, but he produced the most incredible, it just, it wasn't just a financial newspaper, it was just a genuine newspaper. It had so many articles. And then he produced charts. And ever since then we've started to look at charts, but he was the one that every side, I looked at those all the time. I still look at that. It was a, it's a fantastic paper. Yes. So he surpassed the Wall Street Journal I think 20 years ago is pretty close to that. Cause I know he just did an incredible job. Anyway, tell me, Basil, when you, what is your favorite, do you have one favorite stock that you'd like to trade? Someone just asked me that question. And so we'll pass it on to you. Do you have a favorite stock that you like, Apple or as Google or somewhere? Is this just what you see on the plate? I do the futures, there has to be futures all the time, one-minute charts all the time.  It's a learning instrument for me as well as a practical instrument. And as you know, fractals, these patterns are human nature, so they get repeated. You would not be able to tell this was a one-minute chart or a monthly chart, charts are charts, they look the same. It doesn't matter what timeframe. As far as I'm concerned, it's just a speedy way of doing it. I have limited time sometimes to do a trading. So if I'm able to do something on a one-minute chart, instead of a daily or a one-hour chart, why not? It's just the same thing. I'm looking for my peak Ds and Es and get out. That's just a nice way to do it. But what I want to actually just mention to you is that the same patterns refer, if I'm looking at the daily chart, you'll see there's another big rectangle right here. In my, let me just, on the left is the daily and the middle is the week each, on the right is the monthly chart. And yet we made that fourth highest peak D right here at 34,342. And I believe that was the 13th of, no, was that, was the, yes, the 13th of January. And we pulled back quite sharply. We've been along the diamonds to the various, either both the diamonds and the three times long, the UDOW, the most recent trading position we've taken some of it off. But one of the reasons is, he has this rectangle and it keeps bumping up against resistance. And if people don't recognize resistance, then they anticipating a move to the upside that could store for a while until that resistance has got enough momentum to break out of it. Look at this. This is about the fifth or sixth time in over, it was about two and a half, three weeks that the DOW is stored right there in the 34,300s. And as long as you recognize that, it tells you you could treat this as a trading ban. And if you look at that rectangle in the weekly chart, look, there's very little difference. I'm gonna show you, this is the 10 minute chart. There's that rectangle that got stored at the resistance. It's the same thing. I'm looking at the weekly chart. So you've gone from a 10 minute chart to a weekly chart. It does two different time frames completing a net. The pattern's repeating, yes, that rectangle stuck in a rectangle formation. So I love doing this. And if people are interested, they can come to my show at 10 o'clock Eastern time on the weekdays. And I do it in Tiger Technicians Hour. I show these charts, I do them sometimes live on the spot so that you can see exactly what's going on. And you don't have to use all these different techniques. In fact, sometimes you could just use the nine period over the 14 period. Look at this, the weekly chart is very strong. To get this weekly chart to change in the DOW, you probably have to see a close below 32,800. And it's at 34,142 right now. So some of the techniques can keep you in a position a lot longer than you think, if you use the right technical indicators. Well, it certainly doesn't look buried. That's for sure. This looks like a pattern ready to bust out to the upside. And also it's very important to have these digestive. I mean, this is the digestive phase right now. It has a different chart pattern for the S&P. I'll just move over to the S&P. On the left is the daily. In the middle is the weekly. On the right is the monthly.  It just looks like an expanding code leaning on its side. And it has higher lows, sorry, lower highs and much lower lows. And all of a sudden it finds some support and it starts to make the cup formation. If it takes out that resistance level, it can quickly go to the next peak on the left side. And then it could even go to the original peak. In this case, 4195,44 in the S&P. So so far, this is acting very well. It's holding the key metrics that I look at. Look, the nine-period moving average in the daily is way over the 14.  Look at this pattern. It's such a simple thing. I just joined the lines. And the green line says, as soon as you break out of it, that's good. And if you stay in it under the pink line, it's not good. And look how many times exactly on that, I haven't made anything of these other lines. The S&P, until four weeks ago, could not break out of that trend line. Now it has. So that's another positive. So I'm looking at many positives, but it is a rotational market. And as such, you've got to be quite specific in where you are. But this is a very important thing for me. Finally, you've got the S&P weekly chart improving. The monthly still has a lot of work to do. But this monthly is improving. And the bank, these goods, the casting set, 84%. That's good. This is an unbalanced volume here. I like balanced, unbalanced volume. This is the old general, Joe Granville, unbalanced volume.  Every single day of running, total was incredibly difficult. I used to do it way back when I started. So now you've got automated lines. And the line says, and the unbalanced volume in the weekly chart is still not great. So that needs to improve. But you can use all these techniques just as you have your specific techniques. You look at them, you monitor them, and then you make a judgment on whether or not that's the position you want to be in. And so that's what we do all the time. And as I say, I like to use technical indicators as much as I can. Sometimes you get in the way of thinking things through. Sometimes thinking is not doing those business. Yes, for sure. You know, when you mentioned Joe Granville's name, anybody that knew Joe, if they hear his name, they have to smile because he was a real gentleman. He and his wife were just so wonderful. And you folks, you couldn't pick up a check if Joe Granville was around no matter what the price was. Your money was no good when you were around Joe Granville. He laughs sometimes. He said, well, I probably regretted some of that, but he sure made an influence on so many people. But what a generous fellow he was. And he had so many stories, much like you do, Basil. And it was really fun to be around him. So when you mentioned his name, a big smile came on my face because I could literally, and he was a good friend of Arch Crawford's, by the way. And so I met him with Arch a couple of times, but he was a real class act. I mean, we're talking about someone who added a lot to the technical analysis. Not necessarily always used it correctly himself, but wow, I think he added a lot. When he spoke, the Dow moved 20 or 30 points. That's when the Dow was trading at 7 or 800. That was, I loved it back in the late 70s too, and then in 80s it was a little different. But yeah, that's how I got, that was technically how I started this business. Nice to speak with you, Larry. Hey, okay, Basil, thank you very much. And thanks for helping out today, buddy. I really appreciate it because you've got great stuff and people like to hear it. We'll be right back, boys and girls, stay tuned. Thank you.
