The generalist investors weigh early in a bull market, which is where I think we are.
Buying the biggest and the best is the best strategy.
The truth is that metals markets are so volatile and so cyclical that it's not unusual to
enjoy threefold gains over the course of a bull market in the biggest and best entities
in the market.
If you can enjoy threefold gains with, at least from
a sector point of view, fairly minimal risk, the idea that investors that
aren't willing to take the time to do the work to go farther down the quality chain,
the returns to them relative to the risk that they would take without doing
the work are minimal.
So the names, if you believe in the copper cycle-- which I do-- would be names like BHP
and Rio, the first names that you would come to.
And from a generalist investor's point of view for the next two years, I don't see any
particular reason to do anything beyond those two names.
For industry investors-- that is, people who are willing to do the work, people who understand
how to evaluate mining company balance sheets and income statements,
and have access, at least, to technical information-- there's more money to be made in the smaller
companies, and better money to be made in the private debt
markets associated with the copper space.
But I think for probably half the viewers of Real Vision, the truth is that there's
going to be fairly easy money to be made over the cycle in the biggest and
best companies in the sector without the volatility and the occasional
heartache that you'd suffer in more challenging but more lucrative names.
I, of course, will ignore that advice, and take the more challenging names.

Discover how to use your camera's ISO to take great and better baby pictures - Duration: 12:37.
Discover how to use your camera's ISO
to take great baby pictures
In this video I will explain what ISO is
and how you can use it with digital baby photography
Back in the day before digital cameras were used
ASA film was used
When we wanted to take great baby pictures in the light of day
we would usually use an ASA 100 photo film
When the Sun went down
We would have to change it to the ASA 400 photo film
Nowadays everything is digital and so is your photo camera
That is why in digital photography ASA
has been replaced by ISO
When you're in a dark bedroom at night
you won't see much because there is hardly any light
If you stay in that room for a while
your eyes will adjust to the dark
and you'll find it easier to clearly see your surroundings
How does that work?
The little light that does enter the bedroom enters through your eyes
Your brain notices the lack of light
and will amplify the small amount of light that is available
so you can see something in the dark
Your camera works in the same way
In a photo camera the light will enter through the lens
If there's little light the camera can amplify the light
so that you can still clearly see the subject
You are now shown two pictures
The left baby picture is taken without the camera amplifying the available light
You can see that the picture is dark
The baby picture on the right on the other hand
has been taken when the camera has amplified the light
Do you notice the difference?
Your brain amplifies the light
This doesn't happen consciously it happens automatically
If there is too little your brain automatically amplifies the light
In a photo camera a computer inside your camera amplifies the light
If there is too little light
the computer in your camera will automatically amplify the light
The computer in your photo camera is not nearly as advanced as your brain
A photo camera doesn't know how exactly you want to take a picture
That's why your camera is equipped with a setting
so you can manually tell your camera
how much you want the light to be amplified
The setting in your camera to set this information with is called ISO
ISO is expressed in a value
For example: ISO 100
ISO 200
ISO 400
ISO 800, etcetera, etcetera
The higher the ISO the more your camera will amplify the light
This is not an exact science but you can usually say that with
ISO 100: the light does not get amplified
ISO 200: the light gets amplified 2 times
ISO 400: the light gets amplified 4 times
So the higher your ISO the more the light gets amplified
You now see an example of a baby picture in a dark bedroom
that has been taken with an ISO 100
The light in this picture is not amplified by the camera
which makes the picture look dark
In this example the same baby picture is taken with ISO 200
So in this picture the camera has amplified the light 2 times
Did you notice that this picture already looks somewhat lighter?
In this example the same baby picture is taken again
This time with ISO 400
So in this picture the camera has amplified the light 4 times
Do you notice how well exposed this picture is despite the lack of light
On a beautiful day
there will be enough light outside to take a great baby picture
If the camera is set to ISO 100
you will get a well exposed baby picture
This baby picture was taken outside on a sunny day
with ISO 100
You now see the same baby picture
taken outside on a sunny day with two different ISO values
The first baby picture is taken with ISO 100
and the second baby picture is taken with ISO 400
In the second picture the light was amplified
and the picture is clearly overexposed
On a cloudy day there won't be enough natural light
to take a great baby picture
To be able to still take a well exposed baby picture
you could set the camera to ISO 400
The image sensor now gets exposed to light that is amplified 4 times
so you still get a well exposed baby picture
You are now looking at a picture taken outside on a cloudy day
using two different ISO values
The first baby picture is taken with ISO 100
and the second baby picture is taken with ISO 400
In the first picture the light did not get amplified
and this picture is clearly underexposed
If you use the flash your flash will provide the necessary light
to take a well exposed baby picture
When using the flash enough light is provided
so it is not necessary to increase the ISO in a normal situation
You are now looking at a baby picture that is taken with a flash on
and with ISO 100
The downsides to using the flash for your pictures is that it lacks warmth
and the colors are often hard
Now you see the same baby picture taken without a flash
and with ISO 400
Do you notice the difference in comparison to the previous picture?
To be able to take a well colored and natural baby picture
you can turn off the flash and increase the ISO to 400
to ensure a well exposed baby picture
There is always something called picture noise in a photo
Noise in photos looks like grains or spots
At ISO 100 this noise is usually invisible to the human eye
You are now shown baby pictures taken with ISO 100
ISO 200
and ISO 400
Do you notice the difference between ISO 100 and ISO 400?
In the ISO 100 part the noise is invisible
because the light is not amplified
At ISO 400 the light gets amplified 4 times
The normally invisible noise also gets amplified 4 times
Because the noise gets amplified 4 times
it might be visible in your picture
Every camera treats noise in a different way
Whether or not the noise will be visible in your baby pictures
depends on the type of camera you have
The only way to figure out at which ISO you will see noise in your pictures
is by experimentation
If there is too little light
your camera is able to amplify the available light
The setting which allows you to set
how much you want the light to be amplified is called ISO
ISO is expressed in a value
The ISO value
It is not exact science
but general rule of thumb in regards to light amplication of the ISO
is as follows:
ISO 100: the light does not get amplified
ISO 200: the light gets amplified 2 times
ISO 400: the light gets amplified 4 times
There is always noise present in a photo
which is usually invisible to the human eye
When you increase the ISO
you don't just amplify the light
you also amplify the noise
The higher the setting of the ISO
the higher your chances of having visible noise in your photo
Now you know what ISO is
and how you can use it when taking beautiful baby photos
Before you set the ISO while taking baby pictures
It is a good idea to first practice with it
1. Find out how to set the ISO on your camera
2. Grab a doll or a teddy bear
3. Take pictures of the doll or teddy bear indoors with different ISO's
4. Take pictures of the same situation with ISO 100
ISO 200
ISO 400
and if relevant ISO 800
5. Look at the pictures on your computer
and pay special attention to the difference in exposure and noise
6. Repeat this exercise with the doll or teddy bear outside
7. Take pictures of the doll or teddy bear with varying ISO's outdoors
8. Take pictures of the same situation with ISO 100
ISO 200
ISO 400
and if relevant ISO 800
9. Look at the pictures on your computer
and pay special attention to the difference in exposure and noise
10. Make sure to practice
so that you know how the ISO influences your pictures in each situation
Once you are totally familiar with it
you can use the ISO setting with confidence
while taking your own baby pictures
Important: don't forget to check your ISO before each photo session
You won't be the first person to find out
afterwards that you have a lot of noise in your pictures
because the ISO was still too high

REVEALED: Here's How Much Obama Vacations Cost Us, This Is Unreal - Duration: 3:52.
New shocking details have emerged surrounding the specifics of how much President Obama
set-back American taxpayers for his recreational trips.
According to Judicial Watch, the Obama Family's total travel expenses while in office were
just over $114 million, which include family vacations, recreational trips, talk show appearances,
and other expenditures.
The conservative watchdog group recently announced that it obtained records from the US Air Force
and the Secret Service relating to their recent Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request
for the travel expenses of former President Barack Obama as well as President Donald Trump.
First filed in May 2017, the FOIA lawsuit ended up producing records that showed the
Obama Family's travel expenses cost American taxpayers $114 million in total.
Among those costs included one family trip where Michelle Obama and her daughters shut
down an airport for an hour for their annual vacation to Aspen, where they spent over $88,000
for a weekend trip.
In another instance, President Obama's annual golfing trip to Palm Springs cost over $183,000
for a weekend as well.
However, these expenses are still a far cry from some of their most expensive trips.
The Obama Family's Christmas vacations alone have cost taxpayers close to $35 million,
according to The Washington Times.
The Secret Service also revealed that Mr. Obama spent considerable amounts in post-presidency
travels as well, which were reimbursed by American taxpayers.
Billing close to $2 million in total travel costs, with $936,000 on hotels and another
$814,000 on "miscellaneous expenses," these hefty reimbursements were made while
not knowing anything about the destinations of these trips, which were withheld under
"privacy" and "law enforcement" exemptions.
This updated figure of $114 million is an increase from previous reports earlier in
this year, which calculated President Obama's travel expenditures to be closer to $100 million.
In 2016, the figure was thought to be even lower, estimated at $85 million.
Judicial Watch focused on trips that they deemed to be non-essential, such as golfing,
vacations, fundraisers, campaign stops, and talk show appearances.
Tom Fitton, Judicial Watch's president, said he was frustrated that it required several
federal lawsuits to get the government to release this information, especially since
he felt the public deserved to know where their tax-funded dollars were going to.
"It shouldn't require federal lawsuits to prod the Secret Service and Air Force to
produce information about the costs of presidential travel – whether the travel is necessary
or not, it's a massive amount of money," said Mr. Fitton.
"We will continue to monitor this spending while taxpayers continue to pay the bills
for presidential travel."
He also mentioned that it is troubling to see such massive amounts of money being paid
on trips that "appear to have minimal value to the public interest," while at the same
time hoping that President Trump "can immediately save taxpayers money by reforming presidential
travel."
At the moment, President Trump's total travel costs are calculated at just over $10 million
in his first year, lower than the average $14 million spent on travel expenses during
Barack Obama's tenure.
Most Americans would agree that these costs are wasteful expenses that could be better
spent elsewhere.
As the nation deals with a $20 trillion dollar national debt, these kinds of expenditures
need to be curtailed.
-------------------------------------------
New Report Exposes How Much Obama REALLY Spent on Vacations — So Much More Than We Thought - Duration: 5:22.
With Thanksgiving behind us and Christmas looming, many Americans are wrestling with
their budgets.
Gifts, food, and family trips will most likely add up to a small fortune.
Families will have to scrimp and save in order to go on those holiday vacations they've
been planning.
Unless, of course, you were the Obama family.
New records have come out, proving that former President Barack Obama spent way more on travel
than we previously believed.
Democrats tend to spend.
A LOT.
Their bloated government handouts put a massive burden on hard-working Americans.
We work to fund these liberals' toxic programs.
However, it seems like Barack Obama perfected spending other people's money to an art
form.
Not only did he burn through taxpayer's cash to fund Obamacare, food stamps, and wasteful
agencies, he was spending our money personally like a drunk kid on prom night!
Last year, it was reported that Obama spent over $85 million dollars of taxpayer money
to fund his trips and campaign expenses, but conservative group Judicial Watch has just
acquired records that show a whole lot more.
The real total cost of Barack Obama's family travel and campaigning amounts to a whopping
$114 million.
That's your money folks.
Newly released presidential travel records from the U.S. Department of the Air Force
and the Secret Service show that former President Barack Obama's family vacations and campaign
expenses cost taxpayers $114 million…
The latest batch of documents released by the two agencies shows that the Obamas spent
$9,028,346.90 on non-work related travel, bringing the total amount of personal travel
expenses during Obama's presidency to $114,691,322.17.
[Source: Breitbart] None of us should be surprised that Obama
spent lots of our money while in office.
However, this amount really takes the cake.
You can expect costs related to work travel.
The President goes all around the world to meet with leaders and attends important summits.
With him go staff, personnel, and Secret Service.
Security needs to clear every place the President goes to ensure it is safe.
That kind of legwork doesn't come cheap.
However, knowing this is a burden the Secret Service goes through every time Obama boarded
an airplane, you'd think the man would have been a bit more conscientious and perhaps
reduce the amount of vacationing and campaigning, you know, for the sake of the taxpayer.
Nope!
The additional records show Secret Service and Air Force expenses for two Obama family
vacations that took place the weekend of February 14, 2014, and two campaign trips Michelle
Obama made to North Carolina to campaign for Hillary Clinton in 2016.
The two vacations, which included Michelle Obama's annual trip to Aspen, Colorado,
with her daughters and former President Obama's annual golfing trip to Palm Springs, cost
the Secret Service $272,192.91, records show.
[Source: Breitbart] Of course, there were Michelle's campaign
trips.
Those cost the Air Force $40,902.40.
The plane she flew in had an operating cost of $5,312 per hour!
President Obama also traveled to Chicago numerous times during the last three years of his presidency.
The cost?
A mere $7 million.
And, guess what?
He's still traveling on the taxpayers' dime!
But Obama's taxpayer-funded trips did not end there: Secret Service documents showed
that Obama spent nearly $2 million of taxpayer money on post-presidency travel.
The former president's travel destinations, however, were redacted for "privacy" and
"law enforcement" reasons.
[Source: Breitbart] It seemed like Obama viewed the office of
the President as a symbol of wealth and status.
Instead of serving the public, he indulged.
Instead of viewing it as a duty, he partied.
Again and again.
He wasn't so much concerned with improving the United States (or protecting our freedoms)
as he was packing the White House with celebrities and flying on his private plane.
So far, President Donald Trump's travel has cost taxpayers only a fraction of what
Obama spent.
The documents also show that Trump spent $2,821,367.34 on non-work related travel, bringing the total
known travel costs for the president and his family to $10,381,792.35.
Air Force documents show that Trump has spent $1.1 million of taxpayer money on two trips
he made to his Mar-a-Lago resort in April 2017 to meet with Chinese President Ji Jinping
and to celebrate Easter.
[Source: Breitbart] Do you think President Trump's travel will
end up being as costly as Obama's?
Perhaps he'll be a little more considerate with our money?
Let us know your thoughts.
If you have any friends that still think Obama was an amazing President, be sure to show
them these numbers!

Ask Admissions: How much time will my child be in class versus out of class? - Duration: 1:22.
How much time will my child be in class versus out of class? So your child is
going to take a certain number of credit hours each semester, and the average
number of credit hours ranges somewhere from about 12 to 15. What that means
is that your child will actually be in the classroom for about 12 to 15 hours
each week, so when they were in high school they likely took the same classes
every day. They were probably there from about 7:30 to 3:00 or some variation of
that. But now that they're in college, they're going to be taking a different
class at different times each day, but often times no more than about 12, 15, 18
credit hours. A typical class ranges from about 3 to 5 credit hours, so you're
looking at somewhere between 4 to 6 classes each semester. And that's great,
given that the college experience is intended to be a holistic development of
your students abilities and skills. So for example, at Illinois we offer over
1,000 registered student organizations in which students can get involved in
and participate, anything from the squirrel watchers to the Quidditch team,
to sports to fraternities and sororities. So there's a lot of opportunities for
students to get involved and get actual hands-on experiences that also includes
internships through the career service center.

Discover how to use the aperture of your camera to take beautiful baby pictures - Duration: 10:39.
Discover how to use the aperture of your camera to make beautiful baby pictures
In this tutorial I will teach you what aperture is
and how you can use it to make great baby pictures
Look such a pretty and cute baby picture
Notice how good the lighting on the baby is
and how the baby appears sharp in the foreground
while the background is nice and blurry
You can achieve this result by setting the aperture of your camera manually
Before I tell you how to do that
and how you yourself can take great baby pictures like this
I will first explain to you what the aperture is
A camera can be compared to your own head
Think about this
A camera has a lens
A lens works the same way as your eye
A camera has an aperture
In your eye that's called the pupil
A camera has an image sensor which registers the image
In your head the image is registered by your brain
Simply put the aperture of your camera is the light opening in your lens
The aperture determines how much light will enter through the lens
and onto the image sensor of your camera
So the aperture of your camera works similarly to the pupil of your eye
Aperture can change size
and determines how much light can enter into your camera
If there is a lot of light
your pupil will shrink to prevent too much light coming into your eye
On the other hand if there is very little light
your pupil will enlarge to let more light in
Aperture works the same way
If a lot of light is present
the aperture in the lens will shrink
to make sure that your camera will not pick up too much light
If there's very little light
the aperture in the lens will enlarge
to allow more light to enter into your camera
Let's look at a couple of examples
These cute baby pictures were taken at night
inside and in the dark
As you can tell from the picture there isn't much light present
If you want to take a great baby picture at night or in the dark
it is recommended that you use the large aperture setting
The larger aperture will allow more light to enter into the camera
Which is desirable because there is not much light available
If you don't use a flash
your camera will automatically use a larger aperture at night
to allow enough light to enter the camera
This will ensure that a well-lit picture can still be taken
even in the dark
These baby pictures were taken outside during the day
To take pretty baby pictures during the day
you want to use a smaller aperture
because there is usually sufficient light available during the day
a smaller aperture will ensure that too much light won't enter your camera
If you want to take nice baby pictures on a very sunny day
It's best to use a very small aperture
It's necessary so that too much light won't enter into your camera
On a sunny day your camera will automatically use a smaller aperture
to prevent too much light from entering the camera
and to prevent overexposed baby pictures
Aperture is designated with the letter F and a number
As you can see
a big aperture has a big opening and is designated with a small number
Vice-versa
a small aperture has a small opening
and is designated with a big number
This is what aperture looks like at F1.4, F10 and F22
The smaller the F-number the bigger the opening of the aperture
So at F1.4 the aperture is open wide
For aperture
the smaller the F-number the bigger the opening of the aperture
The bigger the F-number the smaller the opening of the aperture
When taking baby pictures
aperture does not only influence the amount of light
that comes into the camera
But it also influences the sharpness of the items in the pictures
Let's take a look at how
you can influence the amount of sharpness in a baby picture
You've probably seen a picture like this somewhere
The baby in the picture is sharp and the background is blurry
Rather similar to the picture at the beginning of this tutorial
Do you see the difference with this picture?
In this picture the baby is sharp as well as the background
You can influence the amount of sharpness in the picture with aperture
This is also known as depth of field of a picture
In baby photography
it can be really cool and worth your time to experiment with this
The depth of field of a baby picture is the depth in a picture that is sharp
In a picture with a lot of depth of field
The items in both the foreground and the background are sharp
A picture with little depth of field
has a subject in the foreground that is sharp
and a blurry background
You can influence the depth of fields of your baby picture
by changing your aperture
This rule is important to remember
The number of your aperture
is related to the amount of sharpness in your picture
If you set the aperture on a low number
you will have the sharpness on a small part of your picture
If you set the aperture on a high number
a big area of your picture will be sharp
Let's take a look at the different aperture settings
If you set your aperture at F2.8
then only the subject of your photo will be sharp
and everything around it will be blurry
If you set the aperture at F8
your entire picture will probably be sharp
The setting possibilities of aperture are different for every lens
Often the reach of aperture is written on the front of the lens
In this case it says F3.5 through 9
In other words
This lens cannot be set smaller than F3.5
and cannot be set higher than F9
Aperture is the light opening of your camera lens
and it determines how much light
the image sensor of your camera is exposed to through the lens
In case of a lot of light you use a small aperture
and in case of very little light you use a larger aperture
The aperture is marked with the letter F followed by a number
A large aperture has a big opening and a small F number
The depth of field of your pictures can be determined by using the aperture
If you set your aperture at a small number
a small area of your picture will be sharp
If you set the aperture at a big number
a large area of your picture will be sharp
Now you know what aperture is
and how you can use it to take great baby pictures
it's time to start practicing
Figure out how you can set the aperture on your camera
Find a spot with subjects at different distances from you and your camera
Take pictures from this location with different aperture settings
Pay attention to the difference in sharpness
blurriness and the exposure of your pictures
Then find a subject that is close to you and has a lot of space behind it
Try to adjust the aperture in such a way that the subject is sharp
and the background is fully blurry
This will isolate your subject from the background
Now do the same thing but in reverse
Find a spot with a view
and take a picture of your baby in the foreground
Set your aperture in a way that both your baby
and the background are sharp
Use this setting
if the background is important for the story that you want to tell

How Important is Sleep for Athletes: Surprising NEW Info - Duration: 3:09.
How important is sleep for athletes?
How important is sleep for athletes I think the answer is going to surprise
you I've never seen anyone else talk about this before so this is really
exciting brand new info this is quick and dirty I think use let's jump right
in I'm David Barr and if you're looking to
get there fast or strong or get lean or go longer hit the subscribe and then
that little bell so you don't miss anything so the key to sleep and
recovery is about something called the CNS now the trick is you may have heard
the CNS may be not totally cool but if you've heard of it
most people don't actually know it it sure you can ask and they'll say ok
central nervous system but what is that once you probe further you realize
people don't know what it is really simple an Tomiko distinction brain in
the spinal cord now this is the key to sleep this is why we sleep and this is
relatively new information because what happens when we sleep our brain actually
shuts down and a new system takes over it's called the lymphatic system and
it's a bit like a janitor coming in to clean up the crap after a day of school
clean up after the kids the kids come back in the next day and everything is
clean they don't know anything off the jander's work well that's what the
glymphatic system is it's like the janitor when we go to sleep ok that's
why we can't learn when we're sleeping unfortunately but it's helping to
consolidate our memories from the previous day including motor memories so
it's not just things we take in with our eyes and ears it's also going to be
motor learning those skills that we learn during the day it's going to help
bake in the results that we got from the training the day before it's going to
help with that motor learning responsible that strength adaptation
that kind of thing so that is the key to sleep or athletes sure we don't want to
hurt our growth hormone response that's not something that's going to have a
huge impact it's really more about the gloaming fax system and the CNS now
there is one more trick we do want about six to eight hours of sleep a night
everybody's different but the key is cortisol is a catabolic steroid normally
we don't want this stuff and during sleep it's great that's levels are low
because it's an anti-inflammatory and when we're sleeping we want that
inflammation process to occur inflammation seems like a dirty words
most people it's not when it's part of our
natural growth adaptation recovery response when it gets out of control
then it's a problem but normally we actually want the inflammation response
and that's what the absence of cortisol is going to help facilitate so you
probably notice that you only get sore after you wake up in the morning well
that's because we have low cortisol I think anyway no Dogma here this is also
the other key this absence of cortisol not directly anabolic but by
facilitating by allowing that inflammation response to occur that's
where we're going to have that growth adaptation recovery response that we're
often so sleep is very important but not for the reasons that people think it is
so hopefully the answers your FAQ quick and dirty is a quick and dirty answer
hopefully you found this helpful probably know someone else who could use
it give it a share with them probably owe you a protein shake hit that
subscribe and the little bell so you don't miss anything and until next time
raise the bar
