Well, we're back and running Yeah, can you believe it just by accident in all the service guy came out and Fiddling around with the seat All these safety switches on about everything and as he got off the seat he must have hit the Quick shift lever which has a safety switch and on the backside of it Must have hit it in the friggin things Unreal So thank God he he did that because I don't know how we'd ever determine which one it was at fall So the little there's a little lever or saw pin or something that sticks out from that safety switch that got bent and So we bend it back and we're in business how it got bent going down the road. It's beyond me. Yeah


Welcome, and thank you for joining us for a fryer as I like to refer to it as an ask and answer episode brought to you by the fundraising Academy.  We are so extremely grateful and appreciative to have these companies supporting these episodes supporting you in the sector, doing your community service and all the great work that you're doing. These companies literally exist to help you do more good so if you have not checked them out. Please make sure that you do because they want to lean into you and your community and help you serve your community in a greater and a greater bigger way. I'm Jared ransom nonprofit nerd CEO of the Raven group and I am thrilled to have today's special guest join us again from California, Laura white Laura is the president with the uss midway foundation. Welcome to you Laura. Thank you so much. Yeah, not in San Diego right now and up in the mountains up in Big Bear kind of area. It's pouring. It's windy so if you hear all that going on around me, there might be a thunderstorm here so forgive me if I go. Because in Southern California we don't do weather, right as a weather so the minute it starts raining we get excited so. So typically is your office on this beautiful uss midway foundation ship is it is it a ship I mean tell us more about about the foundation in which you work. Sure so it's the uss midway museum is an aircraft carrier. It was the largest serving longest serving aircraft carrier in the 20th century. And somehow it found its way back to see Diego they saved it a big group of people from see Diego decided to save it bought it from the Department of Defense for $1. And it's been there they officially opened in 2012 and it's now the most popular, most popular museum military museum of any kind and the fourth most popular visit the museum in the US, even behind like that, and all of it. Yeah. Yeah they bought it for one job. Now it was that's all it costs to keep it up to date but not so much. So it's there we've been there 17 years now it's just a really fun it's a very touch and feel type of thing it's you're not going to break anything on the midway. And I think the big part about it is that it's just huge if you're a civilian and you've never been anywhere near an aircraft carrier. It just blows your mind the minute you walk on I always think of like my condo and where my condo would fit, and it's about the size of the women's upstairs hanger by. So part of the Midway Museum is the Midway Foundation, and that was developed about six years ago to start looking at the community outward. The Midway Museum does pretty well financially the operating expenses are pretty much taken care of by ticket admissions. Yeah, it's about a pretty much a wash there. And so, starting the foundation was like okay how can we go out into the community and raise even more dollars and pass this goodwill that the museum has had out back into the community. So our focus is two things one is to build an endowment that supports the education program on the ship, which is an incredible education hands on come spend the night come feel what it was like to be a sailor do stem all sorts of stuff on board or virtually, and then two is to support first responders veterans and active duty families in San Diego County. So we just a couple days ago granted $305,000 to 12 organizations, and we're doing our $200,000 next year. And our goal is to do about $1 million a year and grants. So, yeah, that is found fantastic. I love. Yeah, I love hearing about that and all that you do and feel so grateful to have you here as a guest. And then you also are representative with the fundraising Academy, which is what brings you here with today so so grateful to have you here. I want to. Yeah, I want to get us started with our first question. And, and as the special guest right like for most of you that are joining me. This is very familiar. So I'm just going to read them aloud Laura would love to know your professional experience and expertise. So our first question come to comes to us from Michael in Chicago. And Michael asked, we want to start a nonprofit that supports vets in our community who are experiencing addiction issues. Is there any direction we need to take in order to work with clients associated with the military. We are not looking for military funding. We've just spent five years prior to joining the Midway Foundation at an organization organization called support the enlisted project. And their basic goal was working with junior enlisted active duty families who are experiencing a financial crisis, and they were not funded by the military at all they're 100% privately funded. It's, it's not easy to work with the military to have access to either active duty or transitioning out. So I think my first question would be clients associated with the military with that specifically be veterans. And then what other vets and what other organizations in Chicago are doing some sort of this work right I would probably start there. And if you're interested in starting us because you feel like there's a lack of that. The VA obviously has programs there's going to be some programs in Chicago, and maybe visit them, see where they're at see how long they've been around see where most of their funding comes from. And if you've already done all that, then you want to get, you're going to want to get a mo you with the Department of Defense, which I know sounds crazy, but it's not as crazy you might think that it is there's some paperwork involved but that allows you to then go on to basis and talk to active duty military and other programs that are on base and work with their veteran transition programs to as folks are getting out. Yeah, there's it's tough, it's you've got to build your own reputation with the military there they can be, they can be tough they've got a lot of roles it can be real sticklers but they're also very grateful for organizations that want to support their soldiers and that's true, but yeah, it's not it that's not an easy task. You are very versed in that and I love your answer and and I too would agree with what Laura shared and reiterate, you know, find out if there's other organizations doing a similar service, and see if you can, you know, talk to them find out how your services are different there's. And again, if there is that lack as what Laura just shared if there's a lack of services or a gap of services in your community, find out how you might be able to provide these resources and solutions to that demographic so I don't think I can add to the military front as Laura did that's definitely your zone of genius and area of expertise so we wish you luck Michael and we hope that that what we've provided will will help move your your idea forward. Let's let's jump to this one from Sarah in Colorado, Sarah writes in and asked, we are ready to welcome our volunteers back to our campus and we are following strict mandates due to coven. We want to be vigilant, we want to be welcoming. Do you have any ideas on how to do this with our dedicated volunteers and even new volunteers. Yeah, so this is a good question a lot of things people are grappling with right now so the, the USS Midway has about 900 volunteers throughout the year, it's the only reason the ship can actually operate on any given day there's about 50 volunteers to be able to open the doors without volunteers. It's how the Midway vessel because it takes a lot of people and a lot of manpower to even an aircraft carrier that's just sitting still. And, and so you really have to tap into what why is it that they're coming to the organization right and they, there is there are they getting some social good will out of it are they staying connected are they older and want to just continue to use your brain. I would suggest surveying them to get started, maybe send out a quick survey to say here's what we've, here's what our plans are. Do you feel comfortable with this. Does this work for you know give them some options and some hey if you have any additional suggestions. I'd also probably call my top volunteers, any leads or committee chairs or board chairs and stuff and just walk through the process is going to be and make sure that they feel comfortable with it as well and see if they have any suggestions. When I worked at support the enlisted project we had volunteers every day. We posted on all of the doors what the organization's current philosophy or rules were which was pretty much we were going to follow CDC guidelines, follow state and then follow county right and typically those are all in line every once in a while one was a little bit different than the other. So we just kept up current as of this date these are what the CDC is, you know, guidelines are if you're vaccinated you don't have to wear a mask. Maybe if you all are volunteering in smaller spaces maybe you just say you know we've decided that we're going to continue to wear mask and here's the reason why. You're probably going to get a volunteer to that doesn't like the rules or the new rules or don't doesn't think that they're strict enough for or or too strict, and that's just an individual basis have that conversation with that person. And it might mean that they need to maybe hold off volunteering for a little while but I think surveying people I always love to give people the opportunity to give feedback. And then see if you're what you've decided kind of aligns with what they're thinking as well, and most likely it does. It reminds me of this quote and I wish I knew the author, but people support that in which they help create. Right. And so, by surveying and really, you know, asking for people's opinion, and taking that into consideration and then as you said Laura calling to stop volunteers to really solicit at a deeper level. It also reminds me truly on that return on relationship, which we've always been focused on ROI return on investment here at the nonprofit show we've been talking a lot about this return on relationship. So people support that in which they help create. Why not ask for their opinion as for their level of comfortability. I talked a little bit about this previously on the show, when it comes to events, and talking a little bit about you know do we have an in person event do we stay tandem or hybrid. And really I think to your point Laura, you know, sticking with the CDC guidelines, that is something that I think so many of us across the nation are familiar with right from the news to our medical offices to our nonprofit organizations is sticking to those guidelines, I think is is still a very safe way and a very good way to to continue. I like your RLR I like that return on all of anytime I have an opportunity to call someone, a donor volunteer that has nothing to do with asking them to do something or give me money, I can just have a conversation with them. I think it's it's goes big to that RLR. I love that like that. Absolutely feel that I'm stealing it. Good feel it it's a little bit more difficult to measure but it's very important. And so this is a name withheld from your area will say California. This person says this is an odd question but how many years apart should one get a new headshot. Our executive team has photos that I swear we're taking 15 years ago, and they don't look anything like us now I have a photographer who is donating headshot sessions for our team. I love this question.  So I don't know that I'm the best person to ask for this I think and I think the minute you add glasses or even a little bit of gray hair, I think it's probably time to update the photo but I don't know that I would get hung up on it too much. I always think about what do I how do I feel when I walk into an event and I see the person I saw the picture of and then the person I see on stage and I kind of giggle giggle to myself like, I probably should update that headshot and now you all are probably saying the same thing about me so I need to take my own advice. And I think the minute you can kind of make that connection that you know that's probably it but anytime you have a photographer willing to donate their time. I would jump on that, no matter what no matter where you're at in your career headshot photo. I would to, and I love when you know this is a talent and a service that's offered. All of us are aging, or you know to our best benefit we're aging because it's better than the alternative, but for me and this is you know I love to talk about my headshots my photographer. Always laughs Laura because I tend to do a lot of different things with my hair. That is how I show and express myself and my personality so I have headshots with short hair with long hair even this style is newer as of this week. And so I use it in an interchangeable manner. But I do think that when it comes to like hairstyles it's more acceptable than if you're looking 20 years younger than what you truly are, you might feel as we would say in the, I don't know, urban dictionary.  I think also we can take very going to call them like low budget, you know whether it's a selfie or someone in your office takes a photo for the website. I think those can be updated maybe more regularly than let's say if you're being acknowledged for an award as Julia Patrick is today, then you might want something that's a little bit more up to date and current. So, that's a great question. And yeah, I'm maybe three five years is something that I would put if I had to put a timeline on it. All right, I need to get mine updated. Okay. Noted, no catfishing Laura, no catfishing. Okay, this one comes into us from Texas, our board parentheses nominating committee is floating the idea that all incoming board chairs need to resign from any boards that they may be sitting on. The argument is that a chair who is involved with too many nonprofits will not be able to serve hours. That is an interesting question. What do you say, I've never heard of that before. Yeah, 22 years I've never heard of that. That sentiment or that idea. I personally think that that would work potentially against you a you're going to get some pushback. And as a chair, if I was a chair of two organizations or if I was on a board of handful of other organizations. How do you know which one is the most important to me or the most valuable or I feel most valuable because I'm on several chairs.  And even your chairs out in the community knowing what's going on, you know if you're struggling with an issue and they're on another organization that's maybe not or struggled with it and got through it. Wouldn't it be great to have that knowledge and that skill set and experience out there. And yeah, I would stay away from that I would stay away from telling anyone that's volunteering their time. I don't know what to do, you know, I, I guess I could see if maybe there's proprietary things or if it was a hospital or a biotech company or something but if it's just about a measure of time. I think you have we have to leave that up to the adults to decide, you know what's too much time for them or not. I've never heard it either. And it makes me think and something that Tony Bell and I have talked about before from fundraising Academy on the show. You know, when organizations are at different points in their life cycle. And so if you're serving on one board, it could be in a very mature place in the life cycle while another one could still be very much grassroots startup. And so you're not quite sure when it comes to the organization, the demands, the expectations of the board members. I love love love your answer Laura of, let's let the adults make that decision for themselves. That's very mature. And which I love that response so much. You know it also makes me think of the best practices that these board members are gaining and experiencing by serving witnessing observing with their peers and other organizations and what they bring to your organization. I would hate for you to lose that. Yeah, yeah, absolutely. That's kind of what I, you know what I'm thinking and so let's see between the two of us it's we'll say 40 plus years of us never hearing this request from a nominating committee floating the idea, asking board chairs to resign so. You can, you can quote that if you want. Yes, for two experts that said. Yeah, yeah, how have your nominating committee contact us. Let's, let's go there. This is likely our last question from man and Newark, New Jersey, and man ask us our status, this question, we have lost several good hires recently because we had a long drawn out hiring process I feel like I need to say it that way. What do we do to scheduling several meetings with department heads. Should we do one large zoom meeting where everyone is on the call or do the smaller two to three person meet ups. So kind of looking at this hiring process on the timeline. It's so tough right now there are so many jobs available and jobs out there and people jumping fields and trying to do something totally different. I think that to look at your hiring practices from beginning to end, and this is the moment to do it. But yeah if you're seeing a consistency that's going too long. What do they're, they're just got to be buying from team and staff right so if you're the person hiring that position, and it's your responsibility, ultimately they're going to be in your department. And maybe you're not the CEO but you're the head of that department. You want buying from the rest of your department right, you want them to feel like they're part of the process. I think that's a big group interviews that are, if that's the only part of the interview, I don't mind bringing I typically what I like to do is I like to go out and find my top candidates, you know, maybe get down to two or three and then bring those to the interviews. And it's kind of exhausting and sometimes it's not fair to last person but what I'll do is I'll do the interviews back to back. Right, so I say to someone I'm going to. I'm going to give you person in your department over there or wherever. I need two hours from you and I'm going to give you two people or three people within those two hours. And, and then that way it's just one chunk of time and not trying to pick people's schedules. It's also to communicate with your other counterparts or other people in the organization that were when you're trying to get scheduled how important this hire is to you.  But, but they've got busy schedules to so here, you know, I would love for all three of you to sit in on this but I definitely no matter what I need two of you because I need both of your feedback right just kind of decide do you meet everyone in. Is it a requirement does the VP and the CEO and the CFO all want to sit in will make that part of that last process and do that on one day around the same time. The commitment is just already done and over with. But your right shortening that is going to be a big deal, especially right now people are getting job offers. Left and right. Left and right. Yeah, that is a great. I love the recommendations that you provided there Laura. And we've heard to from staffing boutique let's see where is she right here Katie, I was staffing boutique you know, she is constantly placing individuals into jobs in particular, you know, in that New York community. And she said you know if you like someone and you know they're a good fit and that's who you want, then continue making the steps to get them on board. Instead of drawing this out which is, you know, essentially the question is, how do we shorten this because we're losing these really good talented hires opportunities because of the hiring process so the workforce right right now as we all know across the nation is bleak, it is, you know, short there are so many opportunities, it is definitely the employee, you know, it, it bleeds to the employee side, because there's so much going on right in this time So, I do think you know, as, as Laura said, let's see if we can shorten this let's see if we can condense the opportunity to say, give us two hours we know it's going to be brutal we know it's taking you away from your other long to do list. Let's get these candidates in and out. And communicate along the way. Right, so communicate with your candidate if the minute you find the person that you think is great but you know that they have two more steps to go through that could take a week or two, communicate that with them. And then I always like to say, hey, if you think you're my number one candidate or you're my top three candidate whatever, if you're going to get another job offer will you just let me know. And so keep that, that communication open because you know what it's like you've applied for a job, and then you don't hear from the and it went great and everything's great and they're like great we can't wait to, you know, next steps and then two weeks go by. Well that two weeks might have just had nothing to do with you right. It could be a worldwide pandemic going on or something. And so just make sure you're communicating with your candidates that you that you want to keep engaged. Those clear expectations those clear timelines just so you know this is the process this is the window that we're looking at. I recently helped a client hire their first executive director, and I will share that it was a long process. And that was intentional. And we also you know we're very upfront with the candidates to say this is going to be a longer than normal process. Not only were we doing it during the summer but you know, if anyone's paying attention, you all know about this global pandemic that is really, really been happy. So where have I been. So I do, I love that piece Laura is to stay, you know, transparent and share that information with the candidates so that they're not saying, Why is this taking so long this is this is third. So good luck with your hire, I know I know there's a lot going on out there, but Laura, it has been fantastic. And look at that headshot. Right, I mean it's, it's like, it was like it was taken yesterday. Absolutely. We are so grateful to have you again Laura White joins us as a representative with fundraising Academy who underwrites our fry yay asked and answered episodes. Laura also serves. Yeah, as the president for USS Midway Foundation so thrilled to have you with us. And yeah, you've got 20 years of phenomenal expertise, you know, in, in the trenches as we say all of the scar tissue and war stories to share. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And now I'm working on an aircraft carrier who knew aircraft carrier. Yeah, fantastic. Yeah, it's been fantastic and we would not have Laura we would not have asked and answered and we would not have almost 400 episodes if it weren't for these guys. So presenting sponsors that you can see on the screen. So extremely grateful to have their investment again in the episodes the American nonprofit Academy, but truly in this sector at large these companies exist to help your days go together so please do check them out I think we all have an obligation to share good positive news, and you can do that with their help so thank you again to our presenting sponsors. Wow, another week. Here we are in October, Laura again it's been fantastic I hope that you have a wonderful weekend I hope all of you. I hope you have a wonderful weekend, Julia started saying this and as our mantra when we end every episode to please stay well so you can do well. Thanks again Laura and thanks to all of you for joining us we'll see you again next week.


Good afternoon and good morning. Thank you for joining us today again to discuss the end use, detailed energy consumption by end uses. I'm Thomas Logosi from the IEA Energy Data Center and we'll now explore the why and how we can understand the demand side of the energy system. Okay, so here's the agenda note. You'll see that some of the data presented here might not be the most up-to-date. It is often because COVID has such an impact on consumption patterns. So to give you the general idea, best was to do the pre-COVID data. And again, please feel free to ask any question on the chat or else. Okay, so let's start with the why. Why do we need to look at the demand side of the energy system beyond the sectoral level? First, as for any budget, the energy system is a complex set of intertwined flows. Here we have incoming energy flows on the left like revenues in the budget and outgoing flows on the right, like expenditure. And to manage a budget, you need to study both the input and the output. So here we'll need to look at the details of how we consume energy, the output side. Here at the IEA's Energy Data Center, we like to split energy consumption into four main sectors as we've seen before in the other presentations. So we have industry that is manufacturing and other industries like mining. We have services, we have residential buildings and we have transport. In the IEA countries, transport is the most consuming one with about one third of consumption. Then comes industry with about a fourth. And then buildings, residential buildings with about 20% and services with about 15%. So as you can see, no sector can be left behind they all weigh a significant part of the output. Starting with transport, we can split it further already into the four main modes. We have road which takes up more, we take up more than 90% of the consumption but also rail, air and water transport. Currently, oil products still account for the overwhelming majority of the consumption as you can see on the right with 98%. And even within the oil products too, namely gasoline and diesel represent a huge part. But what about the split between passenger and freight? That is how much is consumed by cars versus trucks? And also what is the typical distance covered by passenger or goods depending on the vehicle type? Or what is the load factor? How does it differ from other countries? These are all the type of questions we want to look at in more details. Looking at the industry by fuel, we see a variety of cases. So in some countries, fossil fuels are still abundantly used about three times as much as in the least fossil-dependent country of the IA, while in other countries, electricity is the most used. Again, factor three between the largest heat and electricity use and the lowest. To understand such data, we would need subsectoral details to know how these fuel consumptions are distributed between subsectors, allowing to track technology deployment, assess and reduce security risks, for instance, or even sensitivity to energy prices. Then the residential buildings. Here again, multiple factors influence which fuels are used the most. The need for cooling or heating, the availability of some energy products, policy measures and lifestyles and habits. In some cases, in the cases pictured here, we can see electricity is central in Japan, but almost no biofuels and waste are used, only 0.02%. While in Chile, it provides a large share of residential consumption. More data will enlighten us about the most consuming end uses, their dependence on some fuels, cultural habits in each country and technological penetration in households. Finally, we recall these fuel mixes and other factors will impact the emissions of each sector. Let's look at the time series of energy consumption and emissions for the services sector, which is often very electricity dependent. We see that the decarbonation of the electricity production leads to decrease in emissions in light blue, while overall the consumption increases in the meantime by about 6%. Still, if you look carefully, you'll see that the post-COVID energy consumption rebound is smaller than the emissions one. This is the kind of analysis that can be performed when we have enough data to be able to drive policy decisions, is to look at why we have such a carbon-intensive update. Interestingly, the sector can be looked at using two angles, the economic side, splitting consumption by subsectors, such as health or retail, and the building side, splitting consumption by end uses. These would allow us to decompose the drivers of the trends that we see here. For each sector, we can glimpse why it is key to have detailed and reliable energy and use data. For country comparison, as you can see here between the various countries, we have the final energy consumption by sector. For sensitivity and security analysis, with the fuel split here, for perspective analysis and impact tracking, why are some subsectors having their consumption decreasing a lot, or for climate goals? On this last point, climate roadmaps than other environmental targets can be achieved only with control over our energy spending. Here, you see a graph from the new update of the IA net zero 2050 roadmap, a major analysis from the IA. We can see how much each mitigation major contributes to the net zero target. But if you look carefully, you'll see they almost all depend on the demand side of the system. We have lifestyle impact, that is demand, then efficiency, which is the main side again, then a number of fuel switches, that is how the tools that we use and which consume one fuel will be adapted to consume something else, and then CCUS. So the fine understanding of energy consumption is a key aspect to manage the energy system. So this is why the IA decided at the 2009 governing board meeting at ministerial level to collect a detailed and use consumption data annually. The action plan that was approved at that meeting included the objectives to promote energy efficiency. So any data and statistics need to be collected annually by member countries to develop and track consumption patterns and efficiency indicators. The IA in concert with international experts developed a questionnaire template that we're gonna have a look at a bit later based on a robust and harmonized methodology. This includes also internal consistency and comparison checks that would perform hand in hand with our counterparts in the institutions providing us with the data to ensure data quality and assist when issues arise. So indeed, let's have a look at the demand side data collected and which is essential for analysis by looking at the questionnaire. So let me know if you don't see well or if it's too small. Let me actually quickly check this. It looks all right. So the question looks like this. You have a content page and then a set of tabs to collect the data. Six tabs here. So we also have the micro-commit data that collects data which are a bit cross-central. We have populations. We have data about the dwellings or household occupancy. We have data about employment and services for ARIA. And then we have economic activity such as exchange rate of PPPs. We have GDP obviously and value added by a sub-sector. Then in the commodity time, we collect data on physical production output from the various sub-sectors of the manufacturing and industry. Then going into each sector, we have for each of them a split and we see here all the different fuels for which we collect data. And these fuels are repeated for all the different sub-sectors. So for our industry, we have a few other industry sub-sectors and we have a lot of manufacturing sub-sectors following the Isaac revision for classification such as manufacturing of textiles or wood and wood products and so on. The services, as I said before, you have two types of split. You have the split by NUCs with space heating, space cooling, lighting and all the building. And then you have the split by services categories that is sub-sectors such as retail and retail trade or accommodation services, health, education and so on. And again, for each you have a set of fuels to report. In the residential, we only have end-use splits. So we have space heating, space cooling and so on and we also have a certain number of appliances types for which we want the energy detailed. And at the end, you also have some specific residential activity data, especially appliances stock from which we take appliances diffusion or unit energy consumption here. And finally, in the transport sector, we start with some specific activity data. So we have for the passenger segment, we have passenger kilometers split by various vehicle types like cars or motorcycles or buses. Then you have the same for the freight segment with ton of kilometers. Then you have a certain number of data for both segments. So vehicle kilometers split by vehicle types and vehicle stocks as well with a bit more details because that's often a bit easier to collect. And then you get into the energy consumption. And again, we split in various fuels and all these fuels are reported for a certain number of vehicles types such as cars, motorcycles and buses and passenger trains and so on in the passenger segment and the same in the freight segment with for instance trucks and then a certain number of specific type of trucks and so on. So this was the question and then you have a number of times which allow to give remarks and communicate with our country parts. So now back to the presentation. So now that we have seen what we collect, let's look at what we can learn from this type of data that we collect in the questionnaire. So the transport sector as one could expect passenger cars are the most energy consuming vehicle type. For instance, they can for half of Korea transport energy consumption and nearly 2,000 in the USA. So what do we need to know in addition to understand why this happens? While looking at activity data to start with, we can see that indeed cars account for a higher share of passenger activity in the USA about 80% than in Korea with 50%. And the same data will be needed in the freight segment. Moving to industry, industrial database sectors allow you to put focus on key parts of manufacturing for each country. For New Zealand to understand the major trends, the six most consuming subsectors are representative as they consume about 95% of the manufacturing consumption. Well, they cover just less than 60% in Mexico, for instance. Now, if we split these six main subsectors by fuels, we can see general trends and we can see also country specificities. So for instance, we can see that chemicals often depend on gas. This is free with countries and we can see that wood or paper printing can depend a lot on biofuel and waste like we see in New Zealand. Basic metals here depends a lot on electricity. While in Mexico, it depends a lot more on fossil fuels. This depends on technology choices and technology penetration. So tracking these splits allow to anticipate the impact of policies and regulations. The same exercise can be done in the residential consumption patterns by end uses. This shows the influence, for instance, of climate. In Brazil, there's no space heating at all. And we can also see the share and fuel split for cooking is very dependent on lifestyles, such as habit of eating out, cooking methods and types of stoves. The fuel split of most of the consuming end uses are central to understand the reliance on imports, the impact of price variations or the design of emissions and efficiency programs, but also health related issues, such as indoor pollution. I'll quickly go further and skip the services sector to go directly to this type of analysis that we can do when we have enough data. This is called a decomposition analysis that can be performed once we have the activity and energy consumption split following the same methodology on both the activity and the energy. This is very important. And we can split the energy consumption trend into three main factors or three main drivers. We have activity, larger consumption due to more output, for instance. Structure, which is from the same consumption, some sectors generate more or less wealth. So the split between sectors influence the energy consumption trends. And we also have efficiency, which is how much energy is needed to produce one ton of goods. This analysis here helps understand the driving force of the energy consumption and design efficient policies. We can do the same in the transport sector. Interestingly, we have to split between freight and passenger because the activity below is a ton of kilometers for the freight and passenger kilometers for the passenger segment. So for transfers, we can do that. And here you have it for the United States. We see the data for energy and activity. Sorry, we need data for energy and activity across all modes, road, rail, air and water. And ideally all vehicle types. For instance, for road transport, we will need cars versus buses at least and possibly motorcycles as well. And again, methodological alignment is key in this type of analysis. So if we look a bit closely at these graphs, we can see how we can disentangle the different drivers. Activity, which is the amount of goods or the number of passengers, but also the distance traveled. The structure, which is a modal shift, for instance, if you move from car to buses or to trains. And efficiency. Efficiency here takes into account the load factor, the engine efficiency, the driving behavior and all those things like that. So in the example here in the passenger segment, efficiency gains in dark green have compensated for increased activity overall in blue. And it leads to more or less stable consumption in kind of gold. On the freight side, efficiency deteriorated. Here it went up. And it's probably through lower load factors to accommodate maybe with more stringent deadlines, for instance. These are the kind of things that we can track here. So from all this data that we collect, the IEA data center compiles a large database available in our web page. The main publication in Excel provides all this data as well as a set of interactive graphs and visualization tools to assist the analysis. This full database is also available in IVT format. We also provide two free samples, the highlights and the demo and availability files in Excel too. Another way to browse our data is the data export on our website with a web interface to produce graphs again. And finally, we maintain a documentation with methodology and detailed country notes as well as two manuals on statistics and policymaking. Currently the EI database covers 61 economies that is almost 2 billion people and we wish to include as many countries as possible and we're always working bilaterally with multiple institutions in countries or international institutions to make this database as representative and complete as possible. And we invite obviously any of you to reach out to discuss how we can assist you on collecting and use data. We're going to see that later as well. In order to assist the user, we publish our database in a hybrid format with data tabs. I'll skip this for more time. And now let's have a look for a few minutes for each sector how to collect data because this is no simple task. So as I said before, we have four data collection methods, mainly the administrative sources, the surveys, measuring and finally modeling to complete these. For commercial activities, that is on the industry and so this is a great basis of information can be found through economic authorities such as Chamber of Commerce, Regulation Authorities or tax reports. Complimented with energy companies data and sales report, sectors are often already collecting a significant amount of data for themselves. So the main trick is to gather them and ensure methodological consistency. Buildings are often requiring the most varied data sources, whether residential buildings or services from an end-use point of view. With basic activity data, such as population, employment, dwelling or for area covered by administrative sources, most energy consumption data relies on the accommodation of service and measuring base cases. Modeling all allows to avoid repeating coffee surveys too often. And finally in the transport sector, many data exists from all consumption to car sales and registration, but these data need some manipulation, if not modeling, to obtain data split by modes and vehicle types. So surveys are also needed to provide the basis for model calibration or to complement where data is lacking. So these were the main ideas, for many countries, every sector, every situation might appear unique. The truth is other countries' experiences are incredibly valuable resources when one needs to collect new data, which is why the IEA gathered online numerous data collection practices, along with some documentation, survey examples and reports from many countries around the world covering a huge diversity of situations. For sure you'll find some insights by browsing this tool. We can put you in contact with the institution in charge of this data collection, if they be. So let's have a quick look at some examples. So typical feedback includes some tips about the tools, whatever the method, better start by carefully designing the tools you use before anything else, based on your needs and resources. They start with looking at pre-existing data collections to expand them and ensure methodological consistency and then carefully designing questionnaire or platforms, including accessibility, assistance and various languages, for instance. And then to ensure the maintenance cost would be limited and the data quality would be preserved, taking time to accurately document the methodology is key. To keep the data flowing in, we need long-term institutional arrangements, we need trained staff and foster relationships with colleagues and counterparts. This is true within institutions, but also to third-party sources, whether academia or the private sector, whether they are respondents of the service or not. I quickly finish to compliment and strengthen this framework the IEA developed a guide to build national world maps. It aims first at helping countries locating their departing point and to identify the targets according to national interests and priorities. In addition, building on countries' experiences, it assists professionals and decision-makers when willing to develop and use data collections and efficiency indicators, this guide provides a generic method acknowledging the contextual differences. International collaborations are crucial to speed up the learning process and to keep up with the pace of technological, economic and geopolitical changes. So with this in mind, thank you very much for your attention and please feel free to comment or question any part of this presentation. Thanks.


We're going between coal camp and marine camp and this is the reason that I'm roped up to McLean right there. I got Sammy behind me because there is this huge crevasse as you can see. I'm going to step right here to the edge very carefully. Now McLean has me tied on the rope but you can see how far that goes. I would guess that's 200 feet. All right climb on. This is Alan. Remember, memories are everything.


Hi guys, it's me. It's Monica. I know I've been missing in action for gosh, I don't know quite a while right I think almost a month and This is just gonna be a quick update. I'm not gonna do any product reviews or talk about anything But just an update on what's been going on. So if you're here for a product review bear with me My next video I do have a ton of things I have to review and I just haven't Haven't had a chance to do it But I'm gonna take you back in time towards the beginning of March, which is I think where Probably when my last video came out in the beginning of March and it was getting ready to go to convention to Louisville and We I went to Louisville for our annual convention I'm gonna you know, I'm probably gonna do this more talking vlog because I'll probably super in posts and photos But I hung out with a I shared a room with one of the managers in our company because I didn't come with me And he stayed home so he could really you know be here in case something happened with mom and stuff like that So I really appreciated that a lot So I shared a room with Maggie one of my managers in the in the office and sort of hung around with the relocation Director and a couple of agents and we did a whole bunch of different things So one night we went out to night out where we all met up in a In a sort of had like a barbecue dinner, and then there was a ghost walk afterwards. I didn't go on the ghost walk I didn't feel all that well, so I ended up going back to to the room with Maggie and The next day there was just a bunch of awards bunch of different ceremonies going on at the convention I did make it in time to do my education part of it that I had to do all day Sunday One night we went out to dinner to this place under the bridge It was really an interesting restaurant's pitch of a group of us right before we went into the restaurant taken on the outside Was really interesting from the service To the menu to where the restrooms were was a very very interesting, but it was it was a fun night So convention was really good No major delays coming back had horrible delays going out stuff to fly out super early on the Saturday morning, and I got up at three Think 3 30 I got up to get ready because we'd have to leave the house by 4 30 to get me to Man, we'd have to leave the house by 3 30 to get me to Manchester for Quarter past four when my flight was boarding So I was getting ready, and I got a tang from Southwest Airlines What a pain and they had postponed canceled my flight and put me on a flight out on Monday, which Did not do anything for me because I had a bunch of things I had to do on Sunday So long story short I made a number phone calls got nowhere got put on hold Finally went to Twitter, and I started venting on Twitter, and I got immediate attention I was put on a flight later that day out of Manchester. That was delayed a couple of times There was a storm So that was delayed and I ended up flying down to Orlando Only to go back up to Kentucky But that was the only way I could get to Kentucky on Saturday, and so I arrived It was like near midnight on Friday night, and it was kind of on Saturday night And it was kind of a little bit leery for me to go out into this airport Where the Ubers were on one section, and there was nobody there so Long story short I caught a ride with some realtors from Colorado To the hotel we were staying at and and convention ended up being super nice I came back from convention And had two days in the office And then I took my mother we went for a girls weekend on superimpose and photos We went for girls weekend. We took I picked up my mom and we surprised my sister It was my sister's birthday on the 16th, which was the day I came home from convention So they celebrated at that weekend And my niece did an Airbnb and we stayed up there in the in the Conway area Of New Hampshire and it was just really nice and we got up there late Saturday Saturday night dinner out. I had a fabulous meal. Oh my gosh The meal was so good as an Italian restaurant and I had like muscles and Different seafood. I just really loved it. It was so so good And then Sunday we're out the door back home by 10 and then Hold on what you're not supposed to be up I'm not supposed to be up.   I mean literally sick I barely made it home And not going to go into the gory details But I was chained to the toilet with a bucket in my lap because it I was so sick. I thought I had food poisoning. I thought oh my god You know the food I ate was food poisoning And it was poor. It was bad and it ended up not being Ended up getting a stomach flu. My mother got it. My sister got it. My husband got it. We were all sick All week long. So I never ever got to to to Do a video or anything and my air surgery Was for the 30th So not too sure when this is going to go public But the 30th as the time of filming is Was yesterday. That's why jake came in here and said I wasn't supposed to be up because I'm not supposed to be up I'm not supposed to be Up alone anyway. So and he's in the other room. So I'm not really alone but So I was so sick and I was worried that that was going to postpone my ear surgery And of course before we have any kind of surgery you have to have a covet test So I'm like thinking oh my gosh It all worked out well. I got my covet test. That was clean. I went and did my surgery Yesterday morning and what he did I don't have any earrings on because of the fact that can't do anything to weigh it down He was able to do the least invasive of what the three potentials were So he was able to go in the front take some bones some cartilage and rebuild The part where my eardrum was blown out and patch the hole and all that I don't know quite yet how successful it's going to be ultimately but Initially after the surgery the surgeon thought it went really well So I've been home since yesterday not supposed to be lifting bending Driving not supposed to be doing a whole bunch of things. So I haven't really done anything I've just been on the couch On my chair like I said, I've got a lot of things to review And just haven't even done any of them. I've I've just been so out of it just not feeling good at all So I have such a because they had to give me a breathing tube. I don't know why But they had to give me a breathing tube. So my throat is all Raw and hurts to swallow it in the mornings this morning. I got up. I couldn't even talk so It's yeah, it's going to be a while on the really good news front is While I was sick For the stomach thing my Other my second bike came in some of you know, I have an electric bike and I have a pedigo boomerang Which I love I call her glenda. She's the one with the bass try to super impose She's the one with the baskets in the front in the matching chain guard and fenders and all that with little little butterflies on it Anyways, I love glenda. She's an awesome bike for street biking long trails. The battery lasts forever But um, she's not good in sand or dirt So, um, I had been eyeballing another bike And I finally got her in she had I also wanted to have a suspension put on her So I got that so her name is sassy witch and she's a blue bike So I post this here so you can see what she looks like. So yeah, I'm a two e bike owner Um, I think that's kind of cool. You know, I mean I enjoy biking.  I'm going to bend the bike over to mount her and And she's mainly going to be my beach baby So if I'm going to like old wretched beach in maine and I'm going to be biking along the sand That's where I'm going to bring her. So, um, yeah, that's that I thought was good. So I I really love my bikes um Other than that my most surgery has not happened yet. I have had two postponements So the I think on the friday I think it's the 15th of april is when I meet with the plastic surgeon Because they both have to be on standby. They both have to be there to do this together And he can assess this but I'm still thinking this is going to happen in may Maybe now pushed out to june But um, I'm really glad because the air was The air was more painful Continuously having ear rakes and all that so that was more more painful for me. Um And I I'm just hoping that it isn't going to be super unsightly You know when you have a spot like that in the middle of your face. It's kind of like really grosses you out so I I got I got that taking the you're taking care of a follow-up visit I'm hoping to get back to a normal routine. This is the longest I've been on my feet to record this video Uh, and jay has been like hovering around me like a mother hen Like crazy. So which is good But um, yeah, it's april by the time you see this it'll be Well, april first is friday. I don't know if you're gonna see it thursday or friday, but April spring. I just we are heavily into mud season right now Although we did have a bit of a snowstorm not too long ago, but it's been really cold. So Uh, yeah mud season brown season in new hampshire is not pretty, but it is what it is So I've got like uh, some hair pieces that I want to talk about in a future video more uh, bimes and wraps and I also have some I have two products coming from octaly. I don't know if they're gonna arrive before I do my next video We're not but if they do I will I will talk about that I also took a bunch of pictures of my cancer spot my basil cell And I'm gonna still I'm gonna share that whole process with you in a separate video But I just want to come on and just jibber jabber about this because I know I've had a number of you send me messages through my email and It um, it's it's very heartfelt that you know, you guys are thinking about me. So I really appreciate that I'm going to take this thing out of my ear And I have ear drops I have to put in So I'm not looking forward to doing that But I'm going to do that my whole side of my face here is a little swollen still and hurts to the touch So when I sit down, I'll probably do a quick edit add photos upload this And then I'm just going to ice my ear And hope for the best hope for the best so anyways, um, that's it for me right now and I hope you guys are doing good. I'm hoping to record a video on saturday more of a normal video video. Hopefully It'll be this weekend. I'm hoping that I have enough Um, what do you call it vinegar pissing vinegar? To uh, to do that. So anyways That's it Thanks so much for hanging in there


Yeah, government schools, there's a new report out by the Urban Institute that titles where the kids went. So what happened during COVID is that over the two school years following the pandemic, really during the pandemic, 2020 and 2021, K through 12 enrollment in schools fell by more than 1.2 million students. And the question is, where did these kids go? And of course, we know why this happened. This happened because public schools closed and it happened because public schools, many of them insisted on little children wearing masks, absurd and ridiculous. It happened because parents suddenly discovered what their kids were learning or as the case may be, not learning and found alternatives that were better. So there was a really awakening, a real awakening among parents, I think during the pandemic to the realities of what government schools were teaching their kids and to the realities of what was going on at government schools. And a lot of parents took their kids out. So in the 2021-22 school year, private school enrollment was 4% higher. So quite a few parents moved their kids into private schools while homeschool enrollment was 30% higher. Now, of course homeschool started with a smaller base, but still 30% in one year is huge, humongous. That is a massive increase. So a lot of parents decided that they're better off keeping the kids home and teaching them at home than they aren't sending them to school given what they're being taught in school or given the fact that schools are closed or given the fact that schools require their kids to have masks on, which is barbaric to say the least. So the growth in private school enrollment was particularly large in kindergarten and early elementary grades. I think that's where in particular the mask mandates and the closures were super ridiculous. And where private schools, many private schools stayed open. DC and 21 other states where you could get data. So homeschool enrollment rise dramatically. In North Carolina was the one where you saw the smallest rise in homeschool enrollment, it was only 8%. But listen to these numbers. In Florida homeschool enrollment rose by 43%. In New York, New York homeschool enrollment rose by 65%. In Pennsylvania by 53%. These are astronomical numbers, amazing numbers. And yeah, I mean, this is phenomenal. So during the pandemic, the school age population of the U.S. also shrank. So part of the 1.2 million students not going to school is that just fewer kids, just fewer kids. But what is interesting also is if you take into account the number of homeschooled kids and if you take into account the number of private school kids and you take into account the shrinkage of just the number of kids, there's still a lot of kids missing. There's still a real puzzle as to where the other kids are. For example, between 2019 and 2020, 2021-22, in California, K through 12 enrollment fell by roughly 271,000. Some of these losses can be attributed to corresponding declines in the state school age population because people leaving and because people having fewer kids. Some of it can be attributed to people enrolling their kids in private education or in homeschooling. But that leaves 150,000 kids that are unaccounted for. That is, there's still a whole of 150,000 kids that are either just not going to school and nobody knows about it and nobody seems to care or that are being homeschooled without registering with the state or having left the state without being tracked. But there is a real shortage, for example, in California, but this is nationwide. There is a big gap between the number of kids that are accounted for and the number of kids that are supposed to be accounted for. So kids in the United States from schools have gone missing. But this is also, I think, more of an expression of the lack of faith and lack of trust that American parents have in our government schools. Thank you for listening or watching the Iran Book Show.

Life is good all this month at Appalachian Wireless. Get the LG G5 for just one penny with sign up or renewal of a two year service agreement. That's almost $100 off the regular price. Better service, bigger savings. That's today's Appalachian Wireless. Since 1999, boaters on Fishtrap Lake in Pike County have seen this boat on the water every summer. Today was the first day the THV or Trash Hunter Vessel made its way up the lake and EKB News went along for the ride. It's a slow process but the vessel makes its way along the lake essentially scooping up material on the surface. Here at Fishtrap about 95% of the material that's in our lake that we need to get out is trees and the boat has to be manned. The THV has a driver and two men on the front equipped with grappling hooks and chain saws to guide the trees and trash onto the conveyor belt and now that there seems to be more sunshine than rain in the forecast officials with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers say it's time to start their yearly cleanup. It really doesn't do us a lot of good to hit it before the spring rains come in because every time it rains of course we get more material on the lake. Holbrook says we've had so much rain this spring that just a few weeks ago the lake rose to 37 feet above summer pool. Any time we have rain like that it really increases the amount of material that we get in the lake. The boat mainly works along the banks gathering debris pushed to the edge of the lake by wind and waves and filling the boat doesn't take long. When they bring it to a storage area we use here at the dam site and then up the lake at about half way up the lake and we've got another side of the Becky's branch. So throughout the summer the trash hunter vessel will make its rounds up and down fish trap lake just like it has for the past 17 years. We'll get it cleaned up and the rains will come and we'll be back out there they're working and it's just a continuous thing. Reporting from fish trap lake in Pike County I'm Shannon Deskins for EKB news.


Welcome to the show. This would be a good time to go ahead and introduce my two lovely guests I have with me today. Oh, it looks like I have an old spice ad going Hashtag not an ad below me immediately. I have the ever-lovely the ever-welcome Issa ever evergreen always good in any season and below Issa We have the rough the tumble the lovely Chris Coquino's Where you find a time to get ripped I watch a lot of anime about getting strong a lot of thought went into this tier list today For one Cole made it. This is a Cole original tier list. This is Cole handcrafted I realize we hadn't had too much like anime being ranked to lately refusing and We are going to 100% accurately predict what the golden honey of the end of the summer 2020 season is going to be these 21 series listed down here are all series that will be airing next summer summer 2020 Some of them are continuation. Some of them are delays from the spring season. Some of them are just normal I guess as I said, we're gonna go through and correctly place each and every one of them decide Right now definitively. What is the best anime of summer 2020 season? And we'll be kicking us off as what we are dubbing the totally too early summer 2020 tier list To horny every video Chris every video. That's so horny job. Okay. I do two things and I do them Well, I do sound and I do horny get on my level I'm the horny one. You're the hungry one. We're still figuring out where he says She's like the peaceful like in between of horny and hungry, which is you don't know he said then And like the problem is that we put this list in order of what the winner is gonna be at the end of the day We all know that rezero is gonna be like it has to be one of the most anticipated anime Yeah of the year in its entirety the creator went and wrote a web series And then the web series was like so much that they were like, hey Let's adapt this into a light novel that also gets you set up to start getting manga made and anime made Uh, just to answer whether or not it's popular in the west. It does depend on what circles you're in Yeah So I mean like in the east like you definitely have more because I think more people are aware of like very popular Web novel series or web series in general Um, but when you go in the west you kind of do have to dig into certain niche or certain like genres So like I was looking for some Good ass werewolf smut and I totally found it. It was self-published. That's free and oh my god. It was amazing So like you have to find it. I'm clearly no longer the horny one of this chat Chris you're horny on main, but I'm horny on private Oh Sheets streets kind of guy kind of guy I think the only dissenter here is going to be isa because I know isa You are not the biggest fan of re-zero I think if I were to choose how to Ingest re-zero, I would probably prefer to read it rather than watch it I want to be able to take breaks and pauses at my own pace rather than every seven days You have to confront this you're reminding me of that one episode of fanciers We had where we're talking about how isa is smarter than we're supposed because she reads I remember that It's a callback And I'm I'm an idiot and I don't know how to read isa Do you feel like we should not put it in s? I'm going to be completely objective Let's look at just the numbers just the stats I do think re-zero should be in s because it is probably the most anticipated and will be the most watched Series or summer 2020 if you're at a rate. It's subjectively. Where do you think you'd put it? I would put it deeper. I'm not watching it.  It's nothing. It's nothing about that sounds like a love comedy that shenanigans No, but he's he's also very self-aware. There's a lot of like fourth wall breaking It's uh constantly very high rated for me especially the first time I saw it. There was like us It was very cathartic cathartic because you kind of see oh his way of doing things He feels like they're the right way to do things, but it's it's not objectively looking at the numbers and seeing what people are like Thinking about this show. It seems like it's going to be one of those top tier shows But if I'm giving it like a coquino's subjective rating here, I'll probably put it like a b Personally it seems like it it peaks my interest in terms of like I will watch it I'll give it the old like three episode watch or whatever and see if it really catches me I don't know. I like my slice of life to be a little bit more Sweetness and and lightning. I would also put it at a b because so I haven't watched the first two seasons But I know you like it a lot And like fun fact Cole's taste is good I can't quite tell about how good this would be or how funny it is because I am woefully misinformed But that that's also the point of this. This is totally too early. Oh, yeah, that's right We have to make definitive statements and absolute Okay, and we're right. We're 100 right. You're right. Cole. We are right ranked b I think it's going to be a lot more well liked the next anime from the 2020 season everyone knows it Everyone loves it Sword art online. I could not watch that show for very long though So I was really like trying to dive into like the non mainstream Well non mainstream, I guess whatever you want to call it anime and so like I got a few episodes in I thought the premise of it was neat never once that I feel like I need to watch what happens in the next episode Maybe it's because it just feels like it's Substance-less it doesn't have any actual substance Very harsh, but okay sword art was amazing for the time that it First originally aired it was basically kind of dot hack for normies in my opinion because sword art online keeps happening And because it keeps going it's kind of just like well There's all these other 50 anime that have the same exact premise now So sword art has a problem where they constantly to me objectify females to Turn the main character the males into heroes by putting the females in a very vulnerable position to be like Oh If the main characters doesn't show up now this is gonna be real bad for this girl It's like I get really sick and I'm just like, okay Like can you not ruin these badass female characters this way? Like you've spent you've spent 12 episodes showing us how badass this female character is to now Throw it all out the window so you can fulfill this weird male power fantasy Well, I think I gravitate towards our re-zero our re-zero over some of these others Is because I never really found at the time an isekai that I thought I Appreciated because I watched some sword art and then I think by recommendation from something I watched like some of konosuba God she would just got a little too A little too horny for me and that's coming from somebody who's horny in the streets Konosuba's like it's in contention for my favorite anime of all time. It's intentionally part of the joke Yeah, whether like having it be part of the joke is not solving anything It's kind of like always sunny or Seinfeld at a certain point.  It's part two of season one with that said, I mean a lot of people still watch it It's one of those things where I feel like we're just not in that group of people who really still Participate in sword art. I wonder if it's a lot of new viewers too people who have like just recently started watching And they haven't seen like I don't they haven't like run with a show. Oh, you think they're just like I think it's really I think the more seasons of a show that you make the harder it is to jump in So because we're right 100 percent of the time I would put sword art in a sea See, yeah, I'll we'll do it. Let's do it couldn't get out of its own way with shonen trope tropes shonen trope like Uh, I I would going back not watching that fire force. Yeah, the main character is the Lucky pervert where he's like always tripping and then he ends up tripping out until like this big old cleave It's only pulling your shirt down. It's like, oh no like hand under bra Like oh, yeah, yeah.  I probably put that Kind of higher. Uh, maybe like at a b. I would put it at a b. I don't want it on the same tier is I say we move snafu to a then just you call. Yes. Okay. Okay. That's for you cool All right, so we're starting to get into the deeper cuts This is the most addictive manga that I've been reading that is so infuriating this next one called kanajo okareishimasu Uh here is basically you're looking at a03. It's a fanfic tag. Okay. What would you tag this anime as? It is fake dating enemies turned lovers It's tsundere emotional backstory because it looks like the main character His grandma is about to die. So she's ecstatic that the main character has this girlfriend. It's mild prostitution It's like a girlfriend escort situation going on That is a big industry in japan is renting girlfriends What in the actual So this story starts with uh, the main character his girlfriend breaking up with him So he downloads a rent a girlfriend app and rents a girlfriend. He gives her a bad reading. Oh, no Turns out that her grandma is in the same room as his grandma. Oh my god So they have to start this long whirlwind adventure of them not actually being dating But them actually falling for each other the stupidest slash craziest thing that could possibly throw in this Listen is this one girl has a bad heart and the only time that her heart beats fast is when she's with him So she's like well, we got a date What is she jason statham? Yes It's like a charger heart crank I am more interested in the two grandmothers than whatever you just described to me because i'm getting anxiety The only problem is that if you go read the comments for this the main character is such a wet blanket Uh Yeah, like doesn't it's like oh, she's kind of revealing that she likes you and he's like oh, I don't know And so it's like just falsely keeping the series going where it's like, okay They're gonna end up together hurry it up. It's so frustrating But it's so addictive. Can I make my own head cannon for this anime? Okay, if this is grandma's the buddy cop movie, then I give it s tier But if it's the thing that you told me about then I don't I give it d tier I don't know why you're always so willing to blow your load in these We're gonna get to a lot worse stuff and you're already willing to throw out the d tier You got to be willing to throw the d sometimes I want to put this one in b or a because fake dating I'd be happy with b just want you to know that the b rated anime that you're throwing in there is grandma the buddy cop Will ferrell as someone's grandma god of high school. What do we think? Yo, that looks dope It looks cool based off a webtoon series. So already has a really popular fan base It looks like action kind of shonen. I feel like this is this goes into an s tier automatically for me This is basically like fight club the anime I feel like that's an easy s. Yeah Easy s. I uh, I don't I don't know if we have I don't know if we have anything more to say about it I would be remiss if I didn't say I'm mildly nervous about the story. So here is My retort to that there have not been many korean comics Monwa webtoons that have been adapted into anime I think that means that there is probably a more rigorous and selective process in deciding what gets made Like if something's going to get made into an anime from these it has to pass that culture barrier to get made by a Japanese studio If it's something like god of war and it was adapted from a very popular webtoon I'm inclined to think that it's not that they're trying to capitalize on the audience But there is an audience for a reason. Well, then I'm all aboard class or s class. We have the Misfit of demon king academy. This looks like just another one of those school battle tournament harem Demon lord reincarnated. It's aptitude at academy for nurturing candidates for demon lord is inept It really is I've got like that The summary is confusing because it says this demon lord wants a peaceful world So he decides to launch himself into the future But the world is too peaceful now So all of his descendants and all the demons have turned weak like reverse chrono trigger over here I mean, I'll probably watch the first three episodes The art style has kind of reminded me a lot of re zero just reading the summary. I was just like I don't know, but then exactly. I just read the full name history's strongest demon king reincarnates and goes to school with his descendants The yeah the misfit demon king colon what you just said Buy it's cover buy it's cover He says disgust It's like it's like cameras frozen Okay, um, what we feel about this one the summary of it's awful The trailer that I watched is kind of cool. So I would put it out of B Yes, you would be I was gonna say here see I'm I can flip a coin and be happy with either I am starting to get a little tired of the fantasy anime nowadays No guns life. I was so intrigued by it, but I could not commit myself to watching it I'll go see I think it's Decadence I've heard a lot about decadence. I don't know if I've heard anything good or bad But chris, uh, what's the name of that studio? Uh, it's somewhere along the lines of Many years after humanity is driven to the brink of extinction by a sudden emergence of Gadol wheat gal Gadol humans now survive so they float around on like floating islands According to the summary, it kind of looks like the whole like old hardened man Comes across this optimistic young girl. Yeah whippersnapper. It's every Clint Eastwood movie, but anime I'm gonna talk to an empty chair in this one This is giving me, um, actually girl and logon vibes There's some really cool action shots on here though. Put it into an s you s Yeah, okay. I was gonna say I was gonna say a rs. They're on the big ones out there.  I was swinging D, but you know what? I'll swing some s on this one as well This next one. I'm not allowed out of the street on while also be tie Or is like a child wants to hang out put this in D for me. Boom Let me try to play devil's advocate for a second. Okay D for devil's advocate Shows like teasing master takagi son. It's like kind of the the girl who's really infatuated with a guy I feel really weird as an almost 30 year old super invested in a middle middle schoolers romance Oh, okay. Okay. I'm feeling real uncomfortable looking at now with uzaki chan They are in college So I thought it was interesting that this is kind of like taking a more Mature approach to the relationship a little bit.  That's way more legal And way less creepy. I remember there was a bit of controversy from this one I think there was a story uh that I had seen Where there was uh an advertisement I forget what it was trying to say if it was supposed to be like don't touch anyone else inappropriately So they use the images of this character And the whole like beginning bit of this character that they summarize is that she has huge toddies Yes, I say we know. Okay. It's about oh my gosh. It's even risa. It's so much worse. It's about giving blood There it is. I'm saying we throw in the double D tier. Nice. We're probably going to move it out here immediately Because we're getting into peter grill because peter grill. Yeah So It is full nudity Oh, why peter grill is the story of the strongest fighter in the world He has a girlfriend who he wants to get close with until he realizes that all the other women want to have sex with them To bear strong children the most concise coal explains that's ever existed I feel very uncomfortable watching this trailer on camera. I am pretty sure they got a character designer who did a lot of Um hentai. Yes. Yeah, I could I could feel that. Oh my are you looking it up? Yep Yeah Oh my god, okay, I think it's higher than D. Well, I threw in double D tier because toddies, but okay, the next one The next one's name is Peter grill and the philosophers of time. Yes. So this is the one we were talking about earlier. This is the hentai one It's pretty much the soft core. I'm horny in the streets. I said it already I mean, I can't help it But also I feel very uncomfortable watching these trailers for some reason. We love all anime titties here All right, how many how many d's are in the word tittie? Uh depends on how many d's you use You know what I'm not gonna answer that question.  Oh, is there a new tier? The anticipation is killing Oh The next one goes in there as well monster girl doctor Yeah, it's not related to the other monster moose may series, which makes me sad Which is very horny. I saw things in that show. I didn't think I was gonna see and I'm like, oh It's better not awaken anything. Oh, it definitely looks some things in me That's right I think but this this goes into my same argument or a problem of like, oh It's kind of just the same thing as the other things that have been done. I wouldn't really have a break it very highly I'll do it. I'll fall on the grenade. I'll fall on the sword. I will look up Oh goodness. Whoa Okay, I'm watching this show I wouldn't watch it anyways. It's monster girls. So yeah, so this is the english title is um monster girl doctor Right. Yes, um a doctor for monster girls only the doctor looks a young kid and his nurse Is like the older woman. So it kind of goes into the whole like Anytime baby I'm being surrounded by women. Wow Uh, I don't know. I would put it probably at the DRC for me See you right see so cool is the hope and dream and we have eight minutes So we have because we got a lot of anime to get there. Well, luckily a lot of it's bad And one of them this show isn't this show doesn't even exist anymore So we don't have to rank that one is it the show that does the huge nut flex at the beginning of the trailer It's like look at all these amazing people we've got. Yeah. Wow There's this guy and that gal and this guy. Okay. Oh my god. Why are we doing this is the problem we have every time Okay, let's see. Uh, the next one is the doku hentai hx eros Guy's gonna try to save the world world with the power of ecchi and the erotic power of Eros so in order to save the world from the sensor bug. He has to get his friends horny golden honey We all love anime titties Hold on here we go This is a season two for a show I've never heard about Are you a victim of one unwanted spirit possession? No Uh, is there a ghost you need to set up in a way? No or down to burn for all eternity Oh boston does make me feel good Um Yes, do you need muyo and roji serving justice to evil spirits? So it's like an exorcism and one kid looks really weird. I don't like this anime. I don't like it I don't either next one. Do you remember that show that came out a few seasons ago?  This is my golden honey frankly. This is like the feel-good anime of the year right here Uh, these are gonna be super short episodes I'm surprised they never took off as much race horses are now girls and when they win They get to put on a pop idol concert.

So we're 100% right. Toshi kashi wa denetsu A gag anime set in kashi wa featuring a high school girl and mysterious creatures It looks like there's an adorable dinosaur behind her. This looks really bad It looks like like one of the anime they'd play at like the rotating sushi restaurant like on the screen Oh my god That's so funny. I mean I will say I do love whenever it's like, hey, we don't have the budget Let's just let's make something I'm gonna put that in the space between d and anime titties.

What is your brother like her brother finn is someone who would tease her and make her explode 100 what? It's a chinese anime. Oh cool And make her explode 100 times a day not a peaceful day as these two are fighting every single minute However, when trouble comes then we'll become a caring loving brother who protects his little sister at all costs I actually think this is something that is probably a short form series and um Yeah, they just a lot of seasons kind of like all saint street seems wholesome I'll put it in d if only because it's like, oh well We don't know anything about and it's the fourth season.
