Good afternoon everyone and welcome to our 2020 awards program for agriculture and extension faculty and staff awards. Pleased to welcome you here today. My name is Greg Lardy, Vice President for agricultural affairs. I was just thinking about how fun it would be to be together with you face to face and especially enjoying the conversation and, and taking part in the cookies and treats afterwards. But we're here today in a virtual format because of the pandemic to celebrate our awards program. And even though we can't gather together face to face, we are here to celebrate a strong and rich tradition of recognizing the accomplishments of our faculty and staff. And this year, as a special occasion, this marks the 30th anniversary of this program. This year, there are 40 nominees, and each nominee will receive a $50 gift card to the NDSU bookstore that may be used either online or in the store. And each of the 10 award recipients will receive $1,000 on a honorarium. We want to stay a special thank you to those of you who submitted nominations. We know that this takes time and effort on your part. And that is much appreciated. We also want to thank those that serve on the selection committees to determine the award winners year after year we hear how hard it is to recommend just one individual per award. And this is a testament to the stellar nominations of our faculty and staff that are submitted each year. We were hoping to have President Brashani with us this afternoon, but he texted me just a bit of go and indicated that the Chancellor's Cabinet meeting that he's involved with was running long. And so he sends his regards and his regrets and wanted me to extend a special congratulations to all the nominees and to all the winners. It's really important for us to have a president that supports us in this land-grant university with our efforts and extension teaching and research and so we're thankful to President Brashani for his support. Oh, there he is. He must be. Dr. Lardy, I did just make it. There we go. President, you could not have said it better Dr. Lardy and to everyone. This annually is one of my favorite events typically in person because you are the very essence of what the land-grant system was created for. You are the boots on the ground. You're the hands in the soil. I could go on with the analogies, but my point is what you do matters extraordinarily to the state of North Dakota and the people we serve. And so this event and the people recognized at this event are very, very special to me. And that's the case, whether we do it in person or whether we do it through a Zoom video conference. So thank you for what you do, everyone. Thank you for what you do. And thank you, Greg, for letting me jump in here real quick. President Brashani, thank you so much for joining us. We really appreciate you taking the time to be with us at this program. And today is Howard Dahl, who is representing our sponsors. Howard is the owner and Chief Executive Officer of Amity Technology. He and his brother Brian established the Eugene R. Dahl Excellence in Research Award in 1996 to honor their father. We've asked Howard to share a few comments with us this afternoon. Thank you, Greg, and President Brashani, well spoken about. This is a gift to the people of North Dakota, this great team of people in the College of Agriculture. I have the privilege of knowing so many of you and I can't tell you the respect that I have. Howard is a champion of innovation, whether the work at Bobcat or Steiger or a Concord business and he received the Harvest Bull Award. Right before he, he was announced before he died and he three weeks before he died, the main thing he wanted to know from my brother and me, what are you doing that's new and innovative. Obviously when Roland approached as many years ago about this wonderful program to honor those who do great work. We said, can we sponsor the senior researcher in the College of Agriculture doing doing research and it was just one of the best things we've done and we just strongly appreciate all the work that everyone in the College of Agriculture does to make this a great state and so I can't say enough about our privilege to be part of this and it's just a great honor for us. Howard, thank you for those comments and especially thank you for your long history of supporting our awards program and for the dedication you have to recognizing our recipients. We want to take a moment to recognize some of the special guests that are with us here today we've invited several members of the President's Cabinet and other groups to be with us and so just as I'm reviewing the participant function here I know that we've got Provost Fitzgerald with us this afternoon, Brian Kalk, Director of the Research and Technology Park, Jane Shue, Vice President for Research and Creative Activities as well as Mark Birdsall, Chair of the State Board of Ag Research and Education.

So happy Christmas Eve day.  It's unbelievable. So Jay and I are heading out, we're heading up to the coast, which is sort of like an annual tradition for us, believing earlier than I think normal, but we wanna head up to the coast and take a couple of pictures and then probably end up at the lighthouse that's all lit up for Christmas Eve or Christmas season. We kinda do that a lot. We just really, really love doing that. So that's what we're doing and then we'll hopefully get back here early enough to chop veggies for tomorrow. Right, honey? Yeah. Yeah. Ho, ho, ho, look who I found. Hey, ho, ho, ho, merry Christmas. It's Santa Claus. I wouldn't go that far. You came all the way from the South Pole? South Pole. North Pole? From Hampstead? Hampstead. I'm losing my little... I have a little goofy thing on your head. My goofy thing on my head. Anyways, merry Christmas, everyone. Merry Christmas. Ho, ho, ho. Ho, ho, ho, merry Christmas. Who's that's behind me? It's Santa Claus. All the way from the South Pole. All the way from the North Pole. No, that's the real Santa Claus.  I'm the good Santa Claus. He's the good Santa Claus.

My little, little, oh, what a, I should, you should wear one of these. Merry Christmas, everyone. Merry Christmas, everyone. Have a good day. And I even found Santa. All the way from, what pole did you say? The South Pole. After several failed attempts at recording a holiday message for you all, while we're out and about today, I thought it might be safer to just do a voiceover on a few still shots. Jay and I want to wish you all a very merry Christmas. And we hope that your holiday is extra special. And I just want to say thank you all so much for all your support on my channel, for all your likes and comments, and all the wonderful and encouraging words you have left me. Thank you. Have a wonderful holiday.

Oh, look at this one. That's nice too. Desert Canyon. That's a movie as well. I'm going to put those right here and I'll put them back if I don't get those. But let's see what else we've got. I see this puzzle bug one here. I have to figure out what other puzzle bug one's here. Oh, look at that. What a beautiful house. That's probably my house. These are, again, from the Deluxe collection here. We have cats. That's pretty as well. We got a lot here. Check this out. We got hot air balloons. This is pretty as well. I love that waterfall. We got sushi. I'm not a huge fan of sushi. I'll eat it, but, you know, I'll pass. We got some kitty cats. That's really pretty. See, if I know how to grow flowers and plants and whatnot, my flower shop would probably look like this. I really love this image. I think it's going to have to go in the maybe as well. We have mountains here. This is really pretty. What is it with hot air balloons and puzzles though? I noticed that's kind of like the same thing with, you know, having a random dog in images. I see a lot of images. Puzzle images with hot air balloons. What else? What is this? I can't even make out what this is.  This is interesting. What's the thousands of rainbow origami cranes? See, if I turned it around and looked at the box, then I would have known what it was. What else? Do we have anything else different here? Let's see. I'll try not to knock this over. Very, that's weird looking. I don't know. I'm not feeling too good about that one. Beautiful sunset over Manhattan. Look at that. That's really nice. I actually went to New York City a few weeks ago and I'm going to be honest, the skyline don't look like that no more. I wasn't too excited about the new looking skyline with all those new tall skinny buildings. Didn't make me feel good. Oh, look at this one. I love this one. This is a really cute coffee puzzle and this looks like something that I could even probably glue and kind of hang it in my kitchen or something. I like that one. Let's put that in the maybe pile. So we have the 500 count ones here. Oh, check this out. Now they have spendmasters one. I don't remember seeing this last time. Do they have any other images aside from this one here? This is interesting. I like the colors. But let's see if there's anything else. Looks to be the only one. Oh, I wish they had more like a landscape image. I would have totally gone for something like that. So we have art box here and I do have art box ones at home already. I have this one. I know that's really pretty. Look at this one.  You should get that. You think so? Yeah, I get it because you don't have it yet. That is super cute. Look, the little mice are like just reading a little story together. This is so cute. It looks like a little storybook. Oh my God. I think I'm going to put this in the maybe pile. That's cute. I know I have art box already, but I don't know that image was super cute. We have this one here. Okay, this is another puzzle bug deluxe and I don't really know. Oh, I know the difference between the red and the purple. It's the size count. Hello. Maybe I need another cup of coffee. I don't know. We have some thread here. Oh, who doesn't love a good taco? That looks delicious. Though the only issue would be that it would probably make me really hungry whilst I was puzzling and distracted me. Let me try to save this mess that I'm making here. I have that one. That's the cute one. What in the world? What is this? That's kind of weird. Lama dolls. I'm starting to wonder if this bigger art box puzzle set is any different from the ones that I have at home. It doesn't seem like they are. It could just be that they made the boxes a little bit more sturdier or a little nicer looking, but I would be curious about that. I don't know. I definitely want to try puzzle bug though because I do not have that brand. Oh, wait a minute. It's crazy art. I do have crazy art. So what's the difference with puzzle bug and art box then? Is there a difference? I don't know. I guess we'll just have to find out. Wait. So I have quite a bit of maybes here. I don't really see anything more aside from that. Those are more of the puzzle bug ones. All right. I pulled the box now because I just had to look at the selection here. As you saw this before, we saw this one already. Oh, that's nice. Look at that. What is this one called? Aerial view of Croatia. That's pretty. Look at this. I could see myself sitting here. It's a traditional colorful tavern. Oh my God. I wonder what kind of food they serve here. That looks cozy. Coffee and treats. That's my kind of thing. I like that. Got a little succulent emojis. Oh, some wooden shoes here. That's cute. We have some gnomes here. We got flowers here. We love dogs. We got one here with a whole bunch of random dogs. We got some ice cream here if you're feeling for dessert. We got something here to give you some road trip feels. I love road trips. We have a mountain scape with, of course, your random hot air balloons in the sky. And that looks to be pretty much it. Now I just got to put this back on the shelf without dropping them all. I don't know if there's anything more around in the store, so I'm going to walk around a bit and see if there is any other brands at different price ranges. All right, so there was really nothing else in that Dollar Tree, aside from what we saw together. But I did manage to pick up a couple of sets from there, but I think what we're going to do now is instead of ending it at that for Dollar Tree in general, we're going to head to another location and let's see what they have there. Hopefully they got more than that. So let's go check it out. Okay, so now we pretty much got like the same stuff here. Do we have anything new? These are the small sets. That's a 48 piece, but that is pretty nice. Oh, that's cool. If you're into beer, we have this set. More of the PBS Kits ones. Oh, it's this one. Oh, that's really pretty. I love this. It has a different seasons on it. That's fun. That might be a maybe, actually. Let's see if that's a different one here as well. That looks fun. What else do we got? We got the same buttons again. More of the very, very small count pieces here. As you can see, this place is a bit of a disaster, if I think. All right. What else? That's pretty. We've got some bird houses here, and this is the Puzzle Bug Deluxe Thicker pieces. We've got some birds here. What else have we got? Kitty cats. I think we saw that one last time. Definitely saw that one. We got the creepy looking toys here. We got some... They say creepy looking toys. Yeah, look at that. That's some strange stuff, huh? Ew. Yeah, ew. That's what I thought. We've got some marine life here. Oh, look at that. That's cute. We've got some parrots here. They look like they're up to no good for some reason. I don't know. They look a little suspicious. It's making me a little uncomfortable. Oh, what's this? I love this image. This is so cute. It actually has recipes on it. This is awesome. I love this. I'm going to put this in the maybe area. We got this one here. That's fun. And that image as well. I'm not too crazy about that. But in terms of the 500 piece sets, that's all they have. Look at this disaster. Oh my God. What a mess. Look at this. Oh my goodness. I found another aisle here, and I just so happened to find ones that are not $1.25. These are the $3 sets here. So let's see what we got. This is actually really pretty. Oh, wow. I'm impressed. Look at that one. Oh, wow. This is absolutely gorgeous. It's only $3. It's 300 pieces. They're extra large pieces. Country fair by Joseph Holladuke. Puzzle collector. This is a Rosar image. A Rosar puzzle. What else do they have? We have 500 pieces here that are also $3. Oh my goodness. This is fantastic. That little girl could be my daughter. Look at that house. Oh my God. I would so live in that house. And those flowers everywhere. That's some great landscaping. This is probably not my house actually. I couldn't keep my front yard looking that good. And look, a random dog. This is beautiful. Oh, this is tough. I don't know what to do. We have some bunch of random animals here. What else? We have flip-flops. That's pretty. It's a nice fantasy image. Beautiful colors here as well. These are all Rosar. $3 is really not bad. Oh my God. These are fantastic. I wish they had these at my other location. This is a bunch of Orcas here. This is gorgeous. And if the color print is this vibrant, that is really not bad. Of course, my concern would be the fit of these pieces. But, you know, get what you pay for. Look at this. That's pretty darn cool. This is really fun. These are 300 pieces. Look at that. That looks quite challenging. Wow, I'm impressed honestly. This is a great price for 500 piece sets. And again, you know, who knows what this quality is like. I'd be curious to find out. You know what? I just might end up picking something up from here. Let me make my final decisions here and meet you back at home. So Dollar Tree is definitely one of those places where you go in with the intention of buying, you know, a couple things, and then you end up walking out with a bunch of bags. Now hit that like button if you tend to be guilty of that like me. And I'm not just talking about Dollar Tree. Let me know down below which is your guilty pleasure store.  But I mean, the weather has been absolutely terrible where I live. I don't know about you guys, but we've been having numerous storms. So every time I plan to go to one, it ends up being washed out or canceled or something. But I'm still hoping I get a chance to in the next few weeks. If not, it is what it is. But that's why I kind of wanted to head to Dollar Tree to see if I can get some really cheap fines. And thankfully I did. So here's what I picked up in the first location.  But anyways, the first set that I picked up was one of the Puzzle Bugs Deluxe sets. And this one is called Fresh Flowers Outside Forest Shop. And this one is 350 pieces and it is 20 inches by 12 inches. When it's completed. And this is by Crazy Yard, but I guess the collection is Puzzle Bug. I guess it's one of their cheaper brands. But this particular one, the Deluxe, is thicker pieces. So I'm really curious to kind of see what these feel like compared to the other sets that I picked up from Dollar Tree.   If I knew how to, you know, grow flowers or do anything of the sort, my store probably looked this good. And when I looked at my Dollar Tree Puzzle sets that I picked up in the past, I don't have any Puzzle Bug. Again, I don't know if it's any different really than the other Crazy Yard collections, but you know, we'll see, right? And the other set that I picked up from the first location is an Art Box set. And you know, I just had to get this one. This one is called Coffee Every Day. Yeah, I probably would have called it Coffee Every Minute, but that's okay. This one is 20 inches by 12 inches when it's completed. It's 350 pieces. And again, this is also by Crazy Yard. And you guys know I love coffee, so this was an easy pick for me. And I feel like this is something if I can somehow manage to glue it together or put it on some sticky paper or something, I would probably hang this up on my kitchen wall or something like that. This is absolutely adorable. And these are both Crazy Yards. So I'd be very curious to see what's the difference in quality between Art Box and Puzzle Bug. If there even is a difference or they just decided to change the name one day. I don't know. And our second stop at Dollar Tree, which was a different location, the first one that I picked up, again, you know I had to get this one. It is called Homemade Pancakes. Yes, please. It is 500 pieces and it is 20 inches by 12 inches when it's completed. And again, it's by Crazy Yard. And I'm pretty sure you know why I had to pick this one, right? I mean, it's pancakes. I love breakfast. And what I love about this set is aside from the fact that it has a beautiful stack of pancakes in the front here, it also gives you a recipe, right? In the middle of the image. It even gives you some suggestions on what to serve it with. And of course, there's a pot of coffee on the side. Do you love pancakes? I love pancakes. I wish they had one with waffles, but that's okay. Anyways, like I said, with the coffee set, I'm going to try my best to kind of put this one together, like either glue it or put it on some sticky paper because I think these would look fantastic displayed in my kitchen. So the pancake one was $1.25. And as you saw, please excuse me if I'm looking a little rough. I'm trying not to cough here. Let's see if I can continue making this video without looking like I'm choking or something. But anyways, as you saw, there were some sets that were in kind of like the aisles where they have items that are a little bit more expensive. And I found it really interesting because I didn't find any of this in my first location, which happens to be much closer to my house. But of those sets, the ones that I picked up was, of course, you know how to get this one. It's called Country Fair 2, I guess, by Joseph Holoduke. Is that right? I don't know. It is 300 pieces and these are the extra large pieces. And it comes out to a 24 inch by 18 inch image when it's completed. And the series looks to be called Puzzle Collector. Now this is interesting because I just noticed this now. It says Rosar in, you know, nice big image here. But then on the side, it says Crazy Art. So I'm going to guess that Crazy Art Bora Rosar or something, but it says here that this looks to be manufactured by Rosar. And it was $3. And you can't really beat that price. That's a fantastic price for 300 piece set. And the image is spectacular. You know, I love to talk about carnivals and amusement parks and all that kind of stuff. I would certainly want to be hanging out here. There's tons of fun stuff going on. And best of all, of course, you got food stalls. That'll be my first stop. And this is overall just such a fun and colorful image. And what I'm most curious about these $3 sets is their fit. And not only that, now that I look at the image a little bit more, is the image print on the piece is going to be as vibrant as this. And I'd be curious as well. The thickness of the pieces were, you know, thin. I don't know, but I'm sure this is going to be fun either way. And then the last set that I picked up is also from the same, I guess you could say series of puzzle collector. And this one is called Fishing at the Cottage by Franco Zappa. It's 500 pieces and it is 24 inches by 18 inches when it's completed. And again, it's by Rose Art or Crazy Art, one of those two, I'm not sure. And even though it's a 500 piece set, what's fantastic was that it was also $3. And as I mentioned when we were shopping, you know how much I love this image. As I said, that could be my little girl right there with, you know, some friends. I don't have a dog though, so I don't know, maybe he came from the neighbor's house, who knows? Or maybe this is my neighbor's house. We got some houses I just noticed in the background here. Probably one of those will be mine. Probably the one in the very, very far distance back there. Might be a lot prettier than this house, who knows? But yeah, I'm kind of excited that Dollar Tree has started putting out sets like this.  But you know, $3 is really not bad either. Especially for sets that have a pretty good puzzle count to them. And these images are fantastic. Am I expecting the, you know, the greatest quality sets ever? No. Not at $3. But I'll be very curious to discover where it falls short on. Even way, I know it's going to be fun. So you know, we'll see, right? I can't sit there expecting much putting these together when I've only spent like, what, three, six, maybe $10 on a total of five puzzle sets. That's really not bad.  Because as I said, my first location didn't have the $3 sets, which is, you know, kind of sad really. I'm hoping they come out with them soon. But again, check them out and let me know down below which sets did you find or pick up for yourself. Now again, I'm hoping within the next few weeks that I can check out one of the flea markets or garage sales, obviously depending on the weather. But if not, you know, there's always next summer, right? But feel free to let me know down below if you did check out any flea markets or garage sales and if you found anything interesting. But anyways, if you are new here, be sure to subscribe so that you can hear what I have to say about these Dollar Tree sets. And also you could tag along with me and my other puzzle adventures. Well guys, I need to get a drink of water. I hope you are all doing well and I will see you in the next one.


In 1948, countries of the world came together and founded the World Health Organization, also known as WHO, to promote health, keep the world safe, and serve the vulnerable. The goal of WHO is health for all. Let's examine what exactly this entails. Essentially, this means that health is to be brought within reach of everyone in a given country. WHO aims for everyone, everywhere, to attain the highest level of health and well-being. Health is a personal state of well-being. However, well-being goes beyond the availability of health services. Health for all is a state of health that enables a person to lead a socially and economically productive life. WHO works to find solutions to purely medical problems, such as a lack of doctors, hospital beds, drugs, and vaccines. Moreover, to achieve health for all. WHO encourages the removal of the obstacles to health. This implies the elimination of malnutrition, ignorance, contaminated drinking water, and unhygienic housing. And so, health for all implies a commitment to promote the advancement of all citizens on a broad front of development. Individual citizens need to be encouraged to achieve a higher quality of life. And this needs to be supported by authorities, providing citizens with the necessary opportunities to achieve health and well-being. World Health Day is celebrated on 7 April. Let's work together for longer, healthier lives, and lay the foundations for improved health and well-being for generations to come.


FE-304 nanosimes are a promising class of nanoparticles with potential applications in cancer treatment. They exhibit peroxidase-like activity which can generate reactive oxygen species, ROS, leading to the destruction of tumour cells. However, inconsistencies in their cytotoxicity have been reported, suggesting that surface modifications may be necessary to optimise their therapeutic efficacy.

I don't know, doju are not from Odisha, may not realize, but doju are from Odisha, realize these importance which God has given us. This is the only state where you experience six seasons. Pure chek chek season ata, do do mainame, you can see. If you go to north, you go to south, and in all seasons, remember, we eat different vegetables. When you eat in the rainy season, you don't eat in the rainy season, you don't eat in the rainy season. We have separate vegetables because our ancestors have developed that habit of making use of nutrition as a supplement to make it immunity. I will give you another example of Odisha's culture, how it helps in immunity. This is my personal experience. I am sure, everyone has experienced this. When somebody dies in your home, you observe 13-14 days. This happens in Odisha for 14 days. And if you are doing the karyakram, just like when my father died, I did all the karmas. So when you are in Odisha, your father's mouth burns, you don't touch the body. The moment you fire the body, you take bath and you stay in quarantine for 14 days. You remember, whatever you do, it is only in Odisha. You stay in quarantine for 14 days.  Have you ever thought, I did that, I was thinking, what to do, I listened to the priest and did everything. I realized it's important when COVID came. Every time you get infection, you will have 14 days of quarantine. It's not important how did we realize this 200 years back. That is important. So Odisha has all those things. And you see, when you do karyakram for 14 days, you burn the body.  And this is also told in our home.   And if your grandfather grows up, he will say, he will listen to it himself. He will listen to it in his nose and nose. Basically, you make a nanoruby environment so that you don't get. All these we practice during COVID. So in that way, Odisha's culture, habit and environment, where all it tends to make us more immunologically strong, I believe.


What is up everyone? Happy Friday. Welcome to Friday power hour. So I'm currently still have my lunchtime number two on and so I'm not putting on a power hour yet because I'm not overlapping strikes But if I would If I didn't have a position on right now, I would do the 4840s and the 4835s probably 4845s just don't give me enough premium on the call side So I'm hoping we get a little bit of price movement one way or the other here so I can get on a power hour Trade I considered the 4845s with the 4840s Which would give me a like I talked it earlier a little skewed to the upside but I Don't know and I know if it's gonna I Don't know if it's gonna continue higher. It's pushed up all day again kind of a second day in a row of just not ideal price movement for Delta neutral like this So again, if you're Getting a scratch day or a little bit of a green day. It's an awesome thing So I've gotten out of 20% of my Lunchtime number two and so to shed a couple more contracts. It needs to come down. I got an order at 305 It's prices at 390 right now. So it needs Come down or theta needs to decay quicker. Yeah, if you got a scratch day on a daylight today, man That's great. Okay. So it looks like price is coming down a little bit here Really don't want to okay so I'm gonna look at the 3530s see what I get for that 30 points wide Now I'm gonna hold off for a second 48 40s in the 48 30s would be good if you didn't have a position or the 48 35s 48 30s You want really so I'm kind of looking at I'm kind of looking at the 4835s 48 30s can get my analyze tab to work and I can take a peek at this Let's kind of hope and we just get some chop here think her swim is running really slow Jesus Mom I hate to lose out on theta decay because of slow broker What a crazy update though Alright, so I just got filled on my 48 35s 48 30s Power hour number one Big good premium there. I might have messed up my I messed up my longs Sometimes when I start my zoom man, everything just runs slow Yeah, I need to get a Mac So I got filled at seven was it 25? And so my OCO would be 580 would be my target and a plus four Remembering I'm not going my trailing stomp is not bigger than a Than four Yeah Probably just need I probably do need to upgrade. I've been using this laptop since 2019 so Definitely do so fingers crossed here we don't get a rip up Well, I got two boys One will turn 16 in May One turns 15 in March So there's some costs that are coming with them getting over and that's for sure Also gaming laptops. They must be the must be the thing The new thing now instead of the gaming desktop.  How about Roku? As in a mighty 90s Roku. I told deox in the lives or in the livestream this morning. It's like I bet Roku When it was way down here, I was like, I bet it goes through highs of day before the day is over. Sure enough I don't even know what's really pushing the market Today so I've got a lunchtime two and a power hour one So may not I'm not going to put on a power hour two unless one of these I get unless I let them load one of these Being close to hitting my uh 40 on lunchtime Meta pushing through highs. I actually had some calls in meta to get rid of those Stay right there S&P man Meta through highs of day So I could have held those calls a little bit longer too I'd like to see right now. I would like to see uh I'd like to see the S&P stop it about I'd like to see it come down And let's just let's just hang at about 48 35 right in there 48 33. How about that? It doesn't look like it's going too folks Pretty tough day And I could just see you get pushed right back down to this pivot There goes the Nasdaq Through highs of day I mean at this point Let's just fill those calls up Unreal yes, I should have left my calls on Kind of learned something here, you know leaving those calls on for my one of my from one of my am trades Probably would have been beneficial today Yeah, you know, I thought we were going to get a pullback here those first first few weeks of the For at least first couple weeks of January Man, it didn't take long to make up everything that came, you know from market coming down at the beginning of the year I mean it came down first 10 days and man, it's just Ripped right up past it. Look at the Dow man. It's just chopping Let's get some action like the Dow right now 25 cents. Okay, so It does take a pretty big move to Make them valuable, but 25 cents. It's not bad for the fate of the K throughout the day If it can just come down to this pivot and just hang there I like how the Dow is just hanging right on this pivot Yeah, that's true.   So, you know, I may have fun doing six or eight contracts, you know, I may have 12 to 16 calls on if it was to move like that Of 60 points That's when it really helps And vice versa when it goes down So I've still got I got two positions on and they're Two points out of the money on both sides. So I'm not adding anything and I'm adding a number two Every time you think maybe it's gonna pause and come down a little bit. It starts to creep back up Think about it. If it does come down, man, it'll hit those profit targets fast I mean, I'm still setting pretty good on my lunchtime too. It's Still with in the short strikes So I got a lot of premium left in those babies Nice, that's your power hour number one there, Michael. It's a good feeling to get 20 man Really is I'm just not gonna say anything at all right now Just not gonna say anything Go theta go go theta go I wonder when Steve gets back Missed that crusty old cut If I didn't have a lunchtime saw and I probably would have added a Power hour number two by now, man, we need some theta to come our way at lunchtime number two math I figure the theta Be helping me more than what it is Chris don't jinx it, man Need some theta decay, please need some theta decay Need some theta decay What's that Elliott you guys put on some calendars today? Hey nice Hey, there's a fill 40% lunchtime number two to 90 And so that was five ten So I do my do my calculation. This is a lunchtime one remember so 25 is profit target I'm gonna go ahead and take two of my three off and on the next profit target Just so I won't be in this if it does some Unky stuff at the end of the day so 2.05 My trailing stop is 75 of 290 So that's 220 Just need a little bit more down to hit my 20% on power hour So still no still no opening for me. Anyway for me for a power hour number two I mean, it depends what my other positions if I had another position that was testing one side that I would But if I still had a position that was somewhat centered then I wouldn't Yeah, no, I thought I should have too. I should have gotten it too. Let me see where I'm at Yeah, it's right at it right now Yeah, it's at 580 and I have the Again, this is doing this to me. I had 580 As my 20% and it's at 550 with no fill I think sometimes It's been doing this, you know when it comes down quicker It's like it just misses your I don't know I would suspect it to hit at any point now. There we go So looks like I got both fills Yep, so So lunchtime number two hit 60 percent And power hour number one Hit 20% Okay So I need to do my oco So 7.25 times the 60 the 40 target would be 435 So that's this is That's above That's above four. So I'm still going to use a four A plus four trailing stops. Yeah, I do that even though it's my 40 target because I got a good fill on my on my premium So I'll close two more at 435. I will keep my trailing stop at four Okay, and then so my last So my lunchtime my lunchtime number Two has one of one of 10 contracts left So I'm going to go ahead and put that at I'll just put that at a dollar Again, this doesn't really matter now because It's only one left price is currently at 225 So I'll see if I can squeeze a little more out of this with faded decay I'll just put it at a dollar. I probably could let it expire. It's still sitting between the short strikes pretty good In fact, I'm going to put it at like 0.5 So a 50 cent price with a trailing stop of I'll just say 1.9 Again when it gets to this point like does it really matter? So still no power hour number two for me just based on my strikes Now if I wanted to though, I could I could probably close out the 48 40 calls that I have for my lunch hour Number two, but still they're only worth a buck 40. So I still wouldn't get it in a power hour too. So I'm just gonna Roll with what I've got I got a green day going so Thanks to power hour So I just don't think I'm gonna jeopardize my green day with another So I would have been Five trades today for me, which is you know five or six typically What was that that just got filled? That's weird I got oh I got filled at a buck 80 on my last contract of number two So I guess maybe if you're sent if I'm centered like that, I guess I just need to Make my trailing stop be a little bit more Which is fine. Actually what happens is I end up booking about 90% profit even though it got stopped because I had a 290 Fill for 60 And then I just got filled for a buck 80 even though I probably could have got taken that one to the bell Again, doesn't really matter. Okay, so minus 195 and then I had a Fill at 180. It's a nice $2,000 profit on that one. So Man, I could probably take a Man I could probably take a number Our our two here with the 48 40s and 35s Ah Yeah premiums only 440 So yeah, I'm not gonna get it five It's always five so Would have to take the straddle 48 40 Which would give me 675 48 40 straddle 30 points wide This tab has not been working Kind of like the straddle though I don't think it wants to fill me though. I haven't ordered in at 675 weird man No bidders just gonna cancel it I did like it Not get a fill. It's not as hard to get fills this time of day obviously All right filled at 695 on the 48 40 straddle I went 20 points wide 48 40 for power hour number two Let me get my oco in since things move so quick and then I'll post it But it's 48 40 and it's 20 points wide 555 would be profit target number one trailing stop again would be four again All right, so let me post this in there So no crazy moves here s and p just kind of sit where you're at My pinhead for that straddle would be 48 obviously 48 40 Definitely a good can't complain about this power hour price movement when you're looking at, you know What I do here kind of what I was hoping it would do after this slow grind up So 48 40 is where I need it Straddle and about 48 35 So if they can finish somewhere between 48 35 and 48 40 Yeah, uh, wuga it sure it sure makes you feel better when you hit at least one profit target I mean if you could hit that 20 percent I think if it settles about 48 36 37 I'm going to be pretty good with both mining power hours.  All right, I need to get filled on this straddle to make my make my life feel better It's a 640. I got filled a 695 And my 20 percent is at 5 55 Don't you come down a little more anymore you little rat Although it will help my power hour number one if it comes down We got big plans this weekend big nfl games go chiefs Chiefs over the bills Time for patrick mahomes to end Josh Allen season again Anybody still got football teams in the playoffs? Hopefully see some more taylor swift this weekend.  Yeah Steve and I went to the super bowl in 2020 when the Chiefs beat the 49ers For their first super bowl in 50 years. That was an incredible experience nice So that's power hour number one Reinhardt power hour. Is that power hour number one hit 40? Or is that a lunchtime one? I got a lot of theta left in this straddle. It's gonna they don't got much time left 60 Nice I'm still waiting for 40 percent on my power hour number one I think feta decays quicker on michael's Computer than mine It's exactly though what you kind of want to see in a power hour I need a power hour hit on 40 percent on my number one I mean feta come on. This is where it's getting that 245 I don't want it to come down anymore really For my straddle I mean my straddle is a priority because I haven't hit 20 percent on it So need a bit of a bounce need a bounce Need a bounce Need a bounce Build it 385 To hit 40 power hour two So that was what? 385 power hour number two or number. I'm sorry. Yeah power Power number one. I'm sorry Okay, so 725 60 would be 290 So for my oco I'll close two more contracts So my trailing stop is 290. All right prices Where's my straddle at man? Come on. I still haven't hit my 20 percent on my straddle Man, it looked like it wanted to push up there to 4840 Yeah, that's kind of I've kind of noticed that's The way it is here when you get to these Last 10 15 minutes That's why I wish I would have hit my profit target on my straddle because If you're at a 20 percent at least At least you've booked some profits Got 12 minutes left And this my my power hour number two Has been on for I guess it's been 20 minutes Usually with theta decay and a straddle for on 20 minutes. You're hitting something A stop or a profit target You got filled on 20 wuga Okay Yeah, I should be hitting now i'm i'm i'm below my my straddle should be hitting any any second I'm below my 555 There we go Filled a 505 nice fill Okay, so that was 695 So 415 would be my next one I don't know if I even have time for it But I gotta get it in because I get to stop in So 415 is next target and four dollar Stop j trade Roku still going up So I feel a lot better, you know straddles make me nervous man. They kind of do when you're doing this I did like where The straddle fell in relation to my power hour number one and where that price was But this is a good power hour price movement 48 40 straddles when i'm i'm in So it's a pinhead at 48 40 Check the live stream next week and next week live stream So next week on monday I'll be doing the live stream in the morning And then I will be co-hosting with steve The afternoon power hour all next week Probably even the mornings too when he does zero dte That way you guys can Ask him questions.

Hey guys, welcome back to another week of What's For Dinner. My name is Andrea with Food and Mentory Adventures in Food. Our channel is all about the food. We do taste test recipes, grocery hauls, and What's For Dinner. And we are kicking off another week of What's For Dinner with some fried cabbage. So here it is, fried cabbage. And I just fried up with chopped up bacon. And then for those of you that are new to our channel, we are in the middle of a pantry and freezer challenge. We have a little baby on the way and are trying to make room for the baby. And so, just to save money. So that ground meat you see in there is Italian sausage that I had in the freezer. So I'm using bacon from the freezer, Italian sausage. And then we had some jazz and rice in our cabinet. So I'm serving that stir fry mixture over that.  So this is a pretty quick, filling, inexpensive dinner using up ingredients that we already have on hand. Of course, I did have to go out and buy the cabbage, but that's the only thing that I bought for this meal. So this is what we are having for dinner tonight. And we'll see you guys next time. Hey guys, so let me show you what we are having today. We stopped by a Japanese fast food kind of place and picked up dinner. So this is Howard's plate. It is teriyaki chicken. And then he got fried rice. So that's what you see there. And it came with vegetables. I think that's zucchini and there's some mushroom in there and onion. And this is mine. I got the Hibachi steak with fried rice and it also has vegetables. I don't care for zucchini. So I'll probably give these to Howard if he'll eat them. So this is what we are having for dinner tonight and we'll see you guys next time. Hey guys, so for dinner tonight, I stopped by Tako Casa and I got two crunchy tacos which just has beef, lettuce and cheese. And then I got a side of frijoles. I love their frijoles. They are refried beans, those are refried beans and there's taco sauce. So that's what that red stuff is. And cheese as well. Howard do not want anything. So he's gonna eat something later on. I'm hungry so I'm just gonna go ahead and have dinner now. But this is what's for dinner tonight and we'll see you guys next time. Hey guys, so I forgot to film Thanksgiving dinner before we started eating everything. But this is what's left. Totally forgot to film my plate. So hungry. Greens that are left over. What's left of brisket. Turkey. Ham. Hash brown casserole. Mac and cheese is pretty much gone. It's sweet potatoes and then we've got some creamed corn. A few doubled eggs left. So this is what's left of Thanksgiving dinner.  So this is one of the spaces right here. And here's the food table. Just use your fork for your, you know. This is a diaper cake. And these are some cute little, cookie cakes that my mom made. Cupcakes. And. I put grandma on it. My aunts made the little pictures of Howard and I and we were babies to put on there. And we've got some chocolate crushed strawberries. And here is the cake.


Hello, I am Dr. Bhushan Joshi. I am practicing consultant neurologist and practicing at Manipal Hospital, Kharadi, Pune. We have created videos regarding awareness of stroke. I have talked about multiple aspects of stroke. What is stroke? How it is caused and what we can do to treat the importance of golden hour. But today it is an attempt to create awareness about a neglected aspect of stroke treatment. A mental health and the mental challenges patient faces after he suffers from stroke. Stroke, as we know, is a brain attack. It happens suddenly. The life before and after that event is drastically different. There are many changes patient experience after the stroke and then the practical problems faced by him are numerous. So this also not only creates physical problems for the patient but there are immense emotional challenges patient faces too. Cope up with all those changes. He is not aware or he was not expecting anything of that sort happening with him that creates mental and emotional problem in patient. Apart from this one fact, stroke brain damage in particular area of brain such as frontal lobe or thalamus also creates some emotional problems, anxiety, anger, forgetfulness, those type of issues. So mainly because of this damage to the brain there are limitations and patients are unaware of their future uncertainty about the future creates mental issues. How can we cope up with those mental issues? Firstly, patient needs strong familial and friends of circle support. We should be open about his diagnosis with patient. He should be aware what is happening with him and what will be the future and what are we planning to take care of his limitations. So in making him aware about gradual physiotherapy, the speed of recovery is slow. Once patient knows that then he can actively participate in physiotherapy exercises. He can proactively take some medications and water precautions and dietary changes, exercises needs to be followed. He follows them religiously.  Sometimes if this doesn't help proper psychological counseling also helps patient in taking care of his emotional challenges. In extreme cases, some anti-depressant or more delievering type of medications needs to be used in certain set of patients. If required, we use those medication in these patients. It is not only affecting patients' mental health but also family or caregiver mental health is also affected because entire family was dependent on the patient and then suddenly that person changes. That creates emotional turbulence in entire family. Tackle this issue. There are stroke support groups where similar patients enroll with the stroke and they can share their experiences. They can counsel each other. They can share their positive experience and that helps in handling mental health of the family members or caregivers also. So let us create awareness about this aspect of the stroke. You can join different stroke health group. You can be open with your doctor. Whatever mental issues you are facing after the stroke recovery and your doctor, your psychologist, your family and your friend will definitely help you. This aspect of stroke also can be treated. Thank you.

In this discussion, we will discuss the discussion question of define and discuss inventory shrinkage. So inventory shrinkage is going to be a term that we use in order to define the reduction of inventory, inventory going down, but not for the normal reasons, the normal reasons being we sold it, we sold the inventory. So if the inventory goes down for something other than we sold it, it's going to be shrinkage. Now, we can get into some different components if this is going to be an essay question in order to discuss what that is. First we can start to define what would cause that. Why if we didn't sell the inventory, how did the inventory go down? Well, it could have been theft, it could have been spoilage, something got lost somehow, something got broken in terms of inventory and therefore the inventory is decreasing for some reason other than sales. We can also talk about how we typically would find out what that has happened. On a perpetual system note that we wouldn't really know that this happened because we'd be recording the inventory as we go when we make the sales and we would assume that the other side would be recorded the cost of goods sold so we would be reducing inventory as we sell it. So this is going to be a reason that we would still need a physical count. So whether we'd be using a perpetual inventory system or a periodic system we would still need a physical count at some point either daily, weekly, monthly in order to compare what is in the books in terms of inventory and what we counted inventory to be and if inventory is less which typically would be the case because either it would be the same or less most of the time then unless there was an error in the recording which we would pick that up as well but if the inventory is less then we would say okay there's something happened here the inventory went down possibly theft or spoilage or something like that and if the amount is not significant then we'd probably just write the amount off. Then we're going to discuss if it is significant we do some research obviously and try to figure out what is going on here. Okay and then we can discuss about how we're going to record this what are we going to do once this happens obviously we need to make some type of journal entry to one take the inventory down and two record that loss of inventory in some way so the inventory going down of course would be a decrease to the inventory inventory as an asset account therefore has a debit balance to make it go down we would do the opposite of a credit we would credit the inventory therefore the other side then it's got to go somewhere now if it's a minor amount what we're typically going to write it off to cost of goods sold which might seem kind of unusual at the beginning because just by the name of cost of goods sold we debit the cost of goods sold which is a debit but we usually debit it when we make a sale because it's the cost of goods sold in this case it's not the cost of goods we lost or spoiled or something like that but if it's immaterial the reason we're going to do that is because we're going to say that it's minor in comparison to decision making and therefore we're just going to write it off to the typical account that's related to the inventory that being cost of goods sold if it's significant in nature we might write it off in some other way and call it some type of loss of inventory and maybe even need a footnote in order to basically describe the circumstances there but typically if it's just normal kind of spoilage and stuff like that then we're going to just write it off to cost of goods sold with the rationale that it's going to be immaterial to decision making and so we need to put it to an income statement account that account the one related to the inventory of cost of goods sold


The Quad Rotary Encoder Breakout Board with StemAQT and iSquare C. So this allows you to use rotary encoders with the little push button, and it gathers up all the data from those four encoders, sends that message over iSquare C to your microcontroller. So what I've got here, a little QtPi with the StemAQT connector that is running to a little 14-segment Alpha numeric display, and then I have my breakout board for the Quad Rotary Encoder. One of the advantages of using encoders over something like a potentiometer is we have definitive stops. So each little kind of click that I get to, we can update some value. So in this case, I'm just sort of using these as a little animated indicator.  It is the Quad Rotary Encoder Breakout with StemAQT over iSquare C and underlit Neopixels.
