Real estate developers and city planners agree: successful small businesses are
the livelihood of a thriving community, creating sustainable jobs and
strengthening incomes for area residents. Despite how integral new industry is
in transforming distressed areas into socially vibrant and economically
healthy neighborhoods, many entrepreneurs in minority and low-to-moderate income
neighborhoods struggle to secure the necessary loans from standard banking
institutions. Acting as an alternative source of funding to larger lenders, the
national network of Community Development Financial Institutions, or
CDFIs, work to deliver responsible, affordable lending to help disadvantaged
people and communities join the economic mainstream.
A Community Development Financial Institution
is a designation from the federal government that allows
an entity to provide technical assistance and access to capital.
By financing community businesses, nonprofit organizations, commercial real estate, and
affordable housing, CDFIs sparke job growth and retention in hard to serve
markets across the nation and for over 40 years they've had a proven track
record of making an impact in those areas of America that need it most.
Our mission starts with businesses who have not been able to get credit
elsewhere. Those that are looking to grow and expand, those that are looking to
create jobs, are perfect for our portfolio.
Established in 1976, VEDC is
the Los Angeles CDFI and Small Business Resource, guiding entrepreneurs through
the ins and outs of alternative financing educational services and job
creation. VEDC has lent over $400 million dollars in direct and guaranteed
loans to over 100,000 small businesses, helping to create and retain more than
200,000 new jobs.
We believe every entrepreneur has a chance that create a
successful business. With the right input, with the right knowledge, the right
financing, they can create something that really is wonderful for their community.
We have a number of locations across San Fernando Valley and in LA to help those
small business owners right where they're located.
VEDC is changing small business lending and education
making it more available and impactful
and building programs that directly target new industry trends and the
appropriate business owners in those categories. Its development team is
uniquely trained to provide support and assistance to any entrepreneur who needs it
as well as financing solutions that stay at or below market value
for the widest reach possible.
Our services are free so all of the technical assistance,
education, networking, coaching, etc., they're all free services available to you.
Education is essential for small business owners. Nobody is born with all
this business skill so starting a business is always a big challenge.
Here we do a lot of technical assistance, a lot of workshops that help them develop
those skills that will put them in the right place for a successful small business.
They come and they want to learn about licenses and permits and the
regulations and we're able to guide them and hold their hand. If we work with them
in a one-on-one, we build that confidence to become the business owner that they're supposed to be.
Starting a small business is hard. CDFIs can help.
And through various partners across the country, VEDC can provide loans that
fit your needs perfectly.
Dance is my entire life. It's been my
life since I was a kid and I knew I wanted to own my own business by the
time I was 10. I loved empowering my young dancers. My favorite thing about
the VEDC is it's like an extended family and they treat me like a person not a
number. Anytime I've needed anything I give them a call and they'll listen to me
they'll help me. I highly recommend the VEDC for any business owner who is
trying to seek funding to either start, grow, or expand their business.
They're willing to take a risk on the small people, the people who can't get the bank
loans. If you get told no and your credit score is bad and you have nowhere to go
I do recommend the VEDC because they will listen and they will help you.
We're looking to create quality jobs going forward, jobs with reliable scheduling
with the ability to earn an income such that the employees can own a home, have a
retirement fund. VEDC is open to everybody to come and apply.
There is a path to growing a business and having a successful business even if you've been
declined by a bank. There are CDFI across the country ready to help you.
We'll get you ready for success.
CDFIs are enriching communities by making
small business dreams a reality. If you are a Los Angeles entrepreneur seeking
support for your business, contact VEDC today. Call 1-800-304-1755, or

How to build AI applications with Cognitive Search (Part 1) - Duration: 7:10.
Hello,
everyone welcome to the second webinar of the LearnAI series my name is Rodrigo
Souza I am a data scientist with the Microsoft research and AI team.
We have a special guest today Liam do you want to introduce yourself?
Yeah, thanks Rodrigo. Hi Everyone, My name is Liam Cavanagh and I am a program manager
i work on the content search and intelligence team which is part of the cognitive
search that Rodrigo is going to be talking about today let's go
today we'll talk about cognitive search and how it was use it with the jfk files
project we start with the microsoft vision and platform for ai then we
have cognitive search constants and related technologies and for
the jfk project you see architecture demo in the call
At the end we have ten minutes for a q and
a session is small disclaimer before we go any further this is not
the session about the related technologies work especially how they work together.
This is a microsoft vision for AI.
we can browse and apply end-to-end solutions from the Azure AI gallery
You can build your own solutions using the Azure platform.
You can interact with intelligence agents like Cortana or bots.
And, can use the better AI intro applications like
office365 or even windows itself?
And, this is the ai platform infrastructure services and tools.
Can use any operational system and
employ your models on frames in the cloud or even to IoT device
for the jfk project we use it Pre-built AI AI ON DATA
AI Computes the similarities in a few minutes?
After some research i chose these definitions so we can better understand what cognitive search is.
Artificial intelligence computing which
simulate human-human perception.
Cognitive form from a to perspective process often
intellectual activity search from a web perspective
experience of a natural low friction way to interact with applications
and data finally the definition for cognitive search extract relevant
information from big and diverse data sets in users context.
Perception drives to context and we can
say cognitive search is cognitive skills with a search engine.
If I'm going too fast please let me know.
And, what are the microsoft related technologies for
cognitive search. first one we see is cognitive services
the value of ai isnt about fancy algorithms but how to make it
easy to use.
As you can see we have api to simulate human
cognitive skills. This service are prebuilt in preach changing deep learning
models polished on Azure to accelerate your AI project.
They have free cheers.
can be used with just a few lines of code and work across platforms
like ios andriod and windows.
But, the jfk project we use a computer vision and entity linking api.
In the cognitive service portal we have
a directory for apis grouped by category.
in the quality of service for row if you use a few clicks
you can see pricing and documentation of all the fbi you need.
Example the computer vision api use in the jfk project
is free up to five thousand transactions per month is
works we've curl or any other language capable to call a recipe
api also you can download all documentation pdf format
It also has demos
allow you to see expected jason results for each fbi
sample major is provided but you can upload your own you do these
in a few minutes.
with computer vision api.
In the jfk project you read
text from images in pdf files if the entity linking
api you get the wikipedia id of the terms
and expressions extracted from the computer vision processing I just image so
the two technologies work together these two api work together one after the other.
Azure search the second microsoft technology use it for cognitive search energy
in the JFK project.
It's a cloud search path service for web and
mobile applications.
It's easy to scale up and down and has ninety nine-point nine per cent
SLA. It creates an index if metadata about your data it's not
data integration it's not data replication its an index
with information about your data?
Provides natural language processing and
have special features for same structure or unstructured data?
Which features are these, spelling mistakes?
Geo spatial data and not only plotting but also distance intersections
so on suggestions ranking paging
Highlighting and facets.
However, working with relational database you can imagine how complicated it
is to do all of these we've sequel lots of IFs.
Like percent queries very bad for performance.
Sub queries.
Cursors
Secondary indexes so it's pretty hard to index
unstructured data we have sequel work with structured data
that's where Azure search helps the most and how it works?
It has corey profiles so can define ranking in relevance for each term
this
process has a default algorithm but you can create your own.
Azure search provides process.
Processing capabilities for multiple language removing stop wards or
provide a concept understanding of the data you can use Lucien microsoft algorithms for
this possible data sources are Azure sequel end string column.
CosmosDb the files on Blob storage include including office files
pdf csv xml and so on and also
Azure tables are key values storage on Azure.

How to Find Out Your Purpose Instantly (5 Ways) - Duration: 6:22.
Who am I to tell you what your purpose is? I'm not! Then why watch this video?
Because one person is qualified to tell you what your purpose is and that's you
what I'm about to say in this video is not factual they're not all truth it's
just what I believe by all means take the ones that work for you and discard
the ones that don't that being said let's discover how to find your purpose
in life instantly starting with the first idea now number one you are more
than one thing it's so easy in life to think about your purpose and think about
one thing your career what you do for a living but you might have so high
expectations of getting fulfilment from this one thing that when you don't meet
it you're often devastated and disappointed and here's the downfall to
having a one thing mentality let's say you've done some soul-searching and
you've discovered you're going to be a dentist you go to the dental school you
now have your own practice you're super jazzed up about being a dentist but one
morning you come in early you make a mistake because you're tired you give a
patient too much novocaine and it kills them their parents sue you you lose your
license and you can never be a dentist again
with this one thing mentality you would think that this individual because they
cannot be a dentist have lost purpose in their life I believe this is nonsense
I think there are so many jobs you can do in life so many skill sets you have
that can add value to people plus you're more than your career anyway you could
be a father you could be a mother you could be a brother you can be a sister
you could be a friend there's so many avenues in life to bring your life
purpose and when you do this with one thing those expectations for that one
thing don't get met and you're often left disappointed you are so much more
than one thing number to build an empire many of us have this need for importance
we're driven by our ego to be the tallest building in the world because
before the tallest were the best and when we were the best we feel great
about ourselves but I've found that when you do this when you're competing with
other people you often feel you're never enough oftentimes there are other people
out there that are taller than you and it can make you feel inadequate that's
why I've chosen to switch my mentality to going from building the tallest
building to building an empire not using your skill sets and talents to build
yourself up but to use your skill sets and talents to build others up to bring
value to their lives it's a choice you have to make tallest building or
building an empire number 3 open your hearts door I'm sure when you leave for
work in the morning you lock your door because you have valuable stuff inside
and you don't want someone to come in and take it if you don't want a purpose
in your life you're probably doing this with your heart as well you lock the
door on your heart there is a benefit no one can come in and take the love but
the downfall is that love can't come out I believe there's love and abundance in
you and when your door is shut it cannot come out if you have the courage and
you're going to be vulnerable and open your heart and give the world who you
truly are the love that's inside you the world really craves this love that's
inside you if you open the door I believe you'll find your purpose and
you'll realize you have nothing to be afraid of
someone could take your love but it's in abundance the love you put out comes
back tenfold and when your hearts open that's when you find your purpose that's
when you're living a purposeful life next feel fully this idea was inspired
by transformational speaker Kyle sees he said we're not here to feel happy we're
here to feel fully it's up to you what you want to do with your life if you
want to pursue a life of pleasure and happiness that is dependent upon
circumstances and happenings or to experience the roller coaster emotion of
life and truly enjoy it embracing the highs and the lows one example could be
when you're lonely maybe someone just broke up with you that you've been
dating for a long time instead of processing it you seek distraction
watching TV eating ice cream trying to find the next person to fill that void
but what if life is about processing the highs and the lows what if you just sat
down and realize that it's okay to be alone you'd no longer be afraid of
feeling these lows and you'll find that these low moments often take you to your
highest highs I've made a video on how to overcome loneliness I'll leave a card
to that now but let's move on to the next one and lastly experience your life
many of us make this mistake of thinking there's no way I can find my purpose
someone out there who's wiser and smarter has to tell me I need to
discover it in the video or a book it's not gonna work
life is about experiences you don't know what you like you don't know what you
don't like you don't know what you're good at you don't know what you're not
good at until you go out and experience it all I'm saying is it's so easy to be
a spectator in life to watch others living out their dreams doing wonderful
things than thinking that you can't do it we're waiting for a time that is most
comfortable for you I challenge you today whatever it is that you're afraid
of or something you're curious about go out and do it experience it and whether
success or failure it'll be a learning experience and it'll make you a better
person and when you're becoming a better person
you're living a purposeful life if you found this video helpful and want more

don't miss anything this is your friend Michael inspire you to learn laugh and
love hope you enjoyed this video can't wait to see you in the next one

How to Build a Travois | Surviving in the Wild - Duration: 3:46.
In this video we show you how to make a travois.
A travois is a pull sled that was
originally used by the First Nations to transport one's Goods
You could use this
in a survival situation to transport an injured or extremely sick person to a
safer location or to cross a portage on a canoe trip
Or in our case to transport
heavy logs for our fire and building materials for our shelter
That's right, let's show you how we built this one
The only tool we'll be using to build this
travois is our knives.
To construct this travois you're gonna need two
12 to 15-foot hardwood poles.
And four cross poles range from 5 feet to 3 feet
tapering in length
With strength and stability in mind look for intersecting
branches off of your main structure in your cross poles to add to the strength
and durability of your travois.
We're gonna be using two knots to lash our
cross poles onto our structure of our travois. The first knot is called an
overhand slip knot and all I'm going to be doing is making a loop with my
cordage going around that loop in my main finger tucking the tag end through
the loop, pulling through tightening that up and what that does is it gives me an
adjustable noose that I can either make smaller or bigger
Then all I'm gonna do
is take my tag ends and do what's called a cross wrap and this is going to help
secure my cross pole to the actual structure at this point I'm just going
to cross over
that way I'm getting a full cross wrap
So now that I got a solid lash I'm just going to be going around doing what's
called frapping and that's taking the cordage and going between the brace pull
my cross pull and the cordage that's already on.
And the last knot that I'm
going to be showing you is called a surgeon's knot and this is a basic knot
and all you're gonna do is do an overhand knot once, twice
I'm gonna pull tight to bind that lashing and then to secure it you're
just gonna do another overhand knot
If you don't have any cordage with you
you could take a shoelace or a strap or something from a coat or you could dig
up some root these are spruce root that we split in
half and they also work as lashing
We'll give that a nice smooth bottom
so that it drags a little easier
Alright let's see if this thing actually
can pull a human
So assuming I'm injured or really sick and my partner here
needs to take me to a safe location across a portage. Hit it let's see what we can do
Just works really good
All the way home please
Oh he always forgets to
peat out lightly

How To Get More Comments on Youtube Videos - Duration: 8:25.
Today I want to show you how to get more comments on your YouTube videos. And I
don't have just any generic tips for you. Today I have a real treat in store.
Six weeks ago Morningfame showed Daniel that the weakest spot on his channel is
engagement. So I threw him a challenge and said like get your engagement up as
fast as you can by driving more comments. And just four weeks later he really aced
it. I would even say he reached the holy grail of commenting. So how did he do
this? Well, let's find out.
Hey youtubers, Nico here. So let's find out how Daniel
aced the commenting. Daniel has a channel called Extreme Food Reviews and the name
speaks for itself. Let's check out a few seconds.
Bravado Ghost Pepper and
Blueberry hot sauce. Let's eat it.
So he got some comments like "Great video! I need to try that hot sauce". So how do we
respond? Well, Daniel realized one thing: Usually, we say something like "thanks for
stopping by" or "I'm glad you enjoyed my video" but this is really a conversation
killer, right? I mean there is no reason for the other person to write again a
comment on that, right? So the goal really should be to start a conversation or at
least get one more follow-up comment from that person. So how do you reply to
a comment like "Eww! Spicy cereal!" Let me quickly get you up to speed what
the video was about.
We like to, we like to mix things. We like to combine
ingredients. So this is ghost pepper and blueberry, so how do we get the berry up?
We can introduce some crunch berries.
This is disgusting. This is breakfast.
I wonder what color ghost pepper
blueberry sauce will turn the milk.
We are putting it, oh my god. In the milk, oh my god!
So Daniel replied: "Stop it. You love my
cooking. (Is this considered cooking?)" Well, that's a conversation starter.
It worked. Meg Larson replied: "cooking yes... it's ruining the sanctity of cerial!"
So joking around is always a good idea since Daniel's channel is an
entertainment channel. For a channel like mine for example it would be sharing
more information. That is always a good idea to continue the conversation. But
what about the comments you get in the first place? What we can do there is to
choose a video topic that is emotional, thought-provoking, controversial in the
first place. So as an example let's look at another extreme food review! Today
we're playing a game and we've got to match the slogan of the chip brand to
the fiery chip that it goes with. So the first one we have here. This is the
Ruffles flaming hot potato chip. I don't know if that was flaming hot but
according to the name of it, it was flaming hot. The second chip we have is
Doritos blaze.
Blaze le Lay's.
I don't like that. That's a gross chip. It's like chilly light.
"Wow, you guys are very brave. I would never eat any of these things..."
"Come on... I am sure you could handle the vanilla ice cream :)"
"Well, besides that fire fire fire"
Well, this is the power of doing something controversial, emotional,
thought-provoking. It really urges the people to leave their first comment. And
if you think that Extreme Food Reviews really lends itself towards doing
something controversial, well then let's take my channel for example. If I tell
you that YouTube tags don't do what you think they do,
well that is controversial as well and produces a lot of comments. So I wonder
in your niche, what is there working really well for you? What is
controversial, thought-provoking, emotional which produces a lot of
comments? Please let me know in the comments below. I'm really interested to
see how the different niches work there. And by the way if you think that Extreme
Food Reviews is all there is to it, no, Daniel can take it even up a notch.
Hey everybody. Welcome to Extreme Food Reviews and today we're eating bugs.
No! No! Nice try! Guys!
Let's eat it.
We don't just have crickets. We have three flavors of crickets.
Who knew. What's this flavor Jonas? This is salt and vinegar.
What's this flavor? We have sour cream and onion. And I've got bacon and cheese.
And these are some full-on crickets - it's not like cricket parts. They're really big.
Throw it up there.
I wasn't nervous about this until now. I think the
thing we have to... Do I lick it? No you have to eat the whole thing.
Alright. So I guess we clunk it and
dunk it. I don't know...
"haha very nice. I had crickets and scorpion while traveling in Thailand. I
feel you guys."
"Good grief! We haven't tried scorpion yet. That and Tarantula is
on our list. Our list sucks. Did I mention that?"
"I'm going to be honest, I would
and it lol. I did quite like the crickets though. Thought they tasted like bacon.
Scorpion had a mushy inside [disgusted emoji]" For a good reason.
So as you can see Daniel is really giving his viewers a reason to leave a
comment and as they begin to understand that commenting is fun, they keep coming
back to Daniel's channel and leave even more comments. And that actually brings
me to the holy grail of commenting. To understand what it is, let's have a look
at how Daniel tastes cat food.
Oh my god she's back. Can we maybe not fill the spoon?
I didn't. Okay.
oh oh oh my god
I have like a gravy to it. Oh now it feels like tire shards left in
my mouth. Now that the flavor is gone because I swallowed the gravy.
This one got many comments.
"When you said, 'it has a gravy to it' I actually started to gag
and heave for real."
"I used the term 'gravy' exceptionally loosely. It had a
non-nutritive slime that covered the bits of rubber they were pawning off as
meat." And now even two other people chimed in to the conversation.
"So glad to be a
gamer and not to relate to any of this video in real life." And a third person:
"haha" As soon as more people join into a single conversation you know you have
made it. Because we know comments on YouTube are not the same as on other
social media platforms. There is usually no reason for people to read the
comments of other people. But if you drive those comments, if you drive the
conversation, they start to understand that the comments on your videos in
particular are valuable and they start reading the comments of other people. And
ultimately that way your audience will grow closer together and that is really
valuable because your subscribers in particular will be more loyal to your
channel, keep coming back to watch your new videos and that is really for the win for
your channel in the long run. So that said my friends. If you didn't reach the
holy grail of commenting yet, well then I challenge you to do the same and try to
increase your comments as much as you can to build this conversation, to grow
closer to your audience. Well, Daniel really achieve that within four
weeks. It's not too much of work but once you arrive there you will really
lift your channel to a whole new level. A conversation with your audience that will
also help you to improve your video topic choices because you now know much
better what your audience wants to watch on your channel. So high five Daniel,
high five Jonas and Megan. I mean you are really doing a super great channel. It
was cringy, it was funny, it was super great to see all your videos. I mean keep
it up! It's so great to tell your story. My friends check out their channel. It's
really fun to watch. So I hope you really learned something with this and see you
next time my friends.
