good afternoon chair. It's certainly nice taking Nigeria at last, giving the complexities of the country. We've made the two variations because we didn't have enough information on prices, so FSS is on non-income poverty. We are also interested in in that country variation of what is happening at the sub-national level, which is the main work we've done here. By and large, a lot has been said about what is happening at the macro level in Africa, given the fact that poverty, the rate of poverty decrease has not been commensurate to economic growth, and has preoccupied very many analysts, including very many of the regional institutions. There's a lot of interest now, not just in that, but in the wide disparities in poverty between African countries, which I think is part of what the GAP has taught us all about. Like we've seen, some of the case studies that we've taken, countries like Morocco, Gambia, Senegal, Cameroon, and Ethiopia, Ghana. I don't like measuring Ghana because Ghana is our neighbor, and we did that here, everybody. They seem to be making significant progress was a poverty eradication. Whereas the so-called elephant, that's the like we heard at the last presentation, and Nigeria, are moving in the opposite direction. They've not made much progress. In fact, that of Nigeria is possibly where you died out of what has happened to oil, the oil boom. Moreover, the country has had some of the highest GDP growth rates in the world. You don't want to know what is happening, what is happening to poverty, but there has been a major discourse in the country ahead of the 2015 political elections. So the trust of this country is to empirically analyze multidimensional poverty in Nigeria. Like I said, if you look at the growth rate, the GDP growth rate and poverty incidence, they are moving in opposite directions. So we want to sort of confirm all the future of what is happening to poverty in Nigeria. I was hoping Professor Eric Tope could not be here, so I will ask you which of the inequality I'm presenting here. We'll start with the national poverty figures. This is from the Central Historical Office. What you find is that national poverty has sort of increased for 27.2% in 1980, to about 69% in 2010, which is a very alarming. And there is marked disparities between urban and rural. For administrative convenience, Nigeria is also divided into geopolitical zones. I mean, I'm sure very many of you have been hearing of the Boko Haram crisis, which is made in the north. If you be following these poverty figures, you're not going to be surprised. It's only magnitude, because like an inkling of what is going to happen in that part. Probably I'll go to demonstrate as intensified in those figures and go to see this particular paper. Like I said, Nigeria is a federation. It's good that you move from the national figures to what is happening at this national level, especially considering the fact that we have 36 states and some of these states are big or not bigger than some children countries. Take Lagos, for example. Lagos alone has a population of about 20 million. And if you use the GDP to compute, you'll find that if Lagos were to be a country, it would be the 11th biggest country in Africa. The river stage would be number 15. Why Petta Stage would be number 21? I mean, using GDP to rank. So, first, they didn't know what is happening at that subnational level, which is why what we've done all over the paper, you're going to see that we measure, like those are the state-level poverty estimates provided by the national level. We sort of prepare a sort of standpoint for us to compare what we've done. Without wasting time, poverty too. I mean, there is a marked inequality in Nigeria by any standard. We look at it, looking at the unique coefficient in national levels, it has increased from 0.43 to 0.45. But what is the most puzzling? I mean, the World Bank has been able to document some findings that shows that the top 20 percent of a Nigeria population owns almost 45 percent of the wealth. I mean, it's puzzling that it's reflected what you see on grant. So, in terms of what we did, because we didn't have data of prices or something, so FAS is on measuring non-competent poverty. The approach which we adopted is the first order of dominance, which was recently applied by Anne Tower. But before that, to put everything into perspective, they just general agreement that poverty is a multinational phenomenon. But they're actually measuring it. There are a lot of methodological difficulties. I mean, several approaches have been used, as you can see, in this room. And there is no agreement on what you think is the best methodology. In fact, currently, as we are talking now, a controversy is raging on whether you should have a scalar indicator. I mean, judging from the recent human development report that I tried to present on the form of multinational poverty, whether you should have a scalar. Why are people like Ravanian that have opted for the Dutch border approach? Well, people are trying to resolve that controversy now. But by and large, what we can state is that the methodology which we adopted is particular art. Because what we have is all the information at the micro level. I mean, that methodology can capture that. Not only that, like I mentioned, we are so interested in what is happening at the subnational level, which is why we're very happy with this methodology. One good thing about this FOD methodology is that it does not depend on the weighting scheme which it will do some element of being financed. Moreover, it will move all these ad hoc simplification assumptions about the sociography and function. But rather, what you get is just a form of binary indicators. It will tell you whether you are either deprived or not going to bore you about the methodological perspective because of time constraints. But basically, what we did was to use two main data sets. The harmonized Nigerian standard surveys of 2010. We were able to use up to 1,000 households and the comparable national level standard survey of 2003 to 2004, which had about 19,000, 154 households directly usable. You can look at the paper where we documented many of the transformations which we did. In terms of some of the results, I'm not going to bore you. Let me just present some of the main results. By and large, you find that our results are sort of, we don't have enough evidence to justify that poverty has intensified. If you look at the accurate deprivation from the tables, you find that why it was 5.7% in 2003 from O4 national level, it marginally reduced to only 2.6% in 2010. But for those who are not deprived at all, that was just a marginal improvement by 2%. If you look at this, as it is very well done. In terms of some of the other results, we will use two out of the five indicators registered in the Geolomite Magnetic Improvement, nationally, in the evolution of the two time periods. Whereas sanitation, electricity and education declined, if you look at what between 2003 and 2004 and 2009, 10. Like we said in the last one, the actual deprivation, not that I mentioned, why it was 5.7% in decline marginally. If you look at the dominance of the results from the methodology, you find that as of 2010, 12 states had 0% of dominating compared to 7 states which had the 2004 results, which implied that five more states lost their social economic strength. And if you look at the states, Zafara, Bauchi, Benway, Bono and Gompin, they are all in the not a part of the country. So also, using our bootstrap results, the results may not be very clear, but that is according to you to read the paper. But the summary is by and large, it confirms to what you expect after all, Lagos had a 79 chance of probability of dominating, followed by reverse and a number of states. I mean, these are all, if you look at GDP, the wealthy states and something. So also, we look at the issue of net dominance to look at what has happened. I mean, you're going to see that Lagos, for example, also dominates here. But you find that very many of the states, there was a decline in performance where you compare what is happening in 2004 relative to 2010.  I mean, all those things are presented in the main results. Lagos, for example, again, maintain its high dominance, I think we improved over time. Wise states like River Abia and Nambra had a significant webbing. Others like Kanditanga Kano, Niger lost their strength by 2010. I'm particularly happy with some of these results because my major job is to monitor the performance of these governors so I can show them that this is a reflection of part of what is happening. So quickly to round up, what we can state is that the results indicate that Nigeria has registered all the fewer gains in non-compoverty which although conform with what is happening. And also, the issue drill into those results, we find that right areas are characterized by a higher proportion of acute depravation in both time periods. The analysis, the state analysis also indicates that about a third of the Nigerian assistates had a never teaching in zero deprivation when Mrs. Wostnain over time. The FOD analysis to provide over resolved Nigeria was stagnant in the two time periods where you cannot actually see whether there was a migrant movement. So from the point of policy, we are suggesting that it is necessary for the authorities to realize why they are looking for inclusive growth. They should be cognizant of the fact that poverty rates are yet to be both geographically concentrated in some states as well as in the northern rural parts of the country. Thank you for your attention.


There we go. Come on. We can still do this I'm gonna pop it now. Oh, no How's it going everybody Dato do it here with another round of samurai showdown rank matches And this one's going to be really cool because while I was doing my first run of online rank matches with how Amaru I happen to run into this Yukio player who I believe is probably the best player I've run into online at least so far this dude was blocking most of the stuff I threw up parrying a lot of my normals and overall it was just one of those matches that really opens your eyes as a player And you're like, okay, maybe I uh, maybe I should go back to trading mode So hopefully you guys enjoyed if you do let me know down below in the comments And I hope you enjoy the video.

Hey guys, it's Andy Elliott. I'm here in my conference room I'm about to make a video that you're gonna love if you're thinking about getting into the car business I'm about to show you what life will look like as a salesperson. This is a video. You don't want to miss Hey guys, what's up? It's Andy. All right, so today I'm gonna talk about what it is like to work as a car salesman I'm gonna bounce around a little bit I made eight points here that I really want you to pay attention to and I think that this is gonna help you Whether you're selling cars now or you're just getting in this is a great video that really helped walk you through what you can expect Number one, I want to talk about anyone can do it Okay, so I see a lot of people that come from nothing who end up with the most in the automotive industry Okay, so I don't care how people have labeled you or you know, who you are You know like how your life has been whether you didn't graduate college or whether you graduated college and You know, you had straight-A students and you're the easiest and best learner in the world Look anyone can do this job Okay, one of the sales people that I hired one of the most successful sales people I know I hired him. He's wearing a car heart coat and car heart pants He was out digging ditches making three hundred dollars a week and the first three places he went they wouldn't hire him And he came in and I remember interviewing him and I was like, hey, man You know tell me what's up and he's like look man. I know I'm not dressed like the rest of these guys He said but the fire I have in my belly to succeed and make it and change my family's future is huge I said boom hired. I'll teach you the rest I want you to know that that can be used so no matter where you are and no matter what age you are Whether you're 18 or 70 years old this business can be great to you So anyone can do it number two. Let's talk about the money for a minute The money Can be insane notice. I said can be okay You have to understand this that most of the time when you get hired on at a car dealership dealerships are extremely busy They have a lot going on So you have the ability to go from making zero dead and Ian on broke to making $15,000 a month like that Okay, but you have to get the training in it is extremely important for you to understand You can change your life from a financial perspective as long as you go all in and you have to understand that this business is Unbelievable for anyone who is serious and wants to crush it. So who is it for it's for anybody and how much can you make? There's no limit in this business my last year selling cars I made over 700 grand as a GM. I made over 2 million. I will tell you this I was dead broke at 18 in case you don't know the story at 18 nada and I went down and I started hustling I started learning how to sell I invested in myself and then the rest is history and you can do the same thing All right, let's talk about mindset for a minute Before we get into some of the other areas mindsets extremely important in this business Okay, you got to have the mindset that the first sell that you ever make in this business is selling yourself That you can do this job. Okay, and that's it and you can I don't care If you're an introvert or an extrovert, so I'm an extrovert right now But I started as an introvert Okay, and what I had to do was just put myself out there and everything you want in life is right on the other side of Being uncomfortable.  They loved enjoying doing business with me I was competent. I knew what I was doing and boom man. I just started rising to the top and I'll start out selling everybody I'll share with you without a great mindset though. Guess what? You'll be like a coffin just walking around in the dealership Make sure you know this business is for anybody how much money you can make and the mindset of a high achiever Okay. Hey guys, it's Andy. I hope you're enjoying the video if you are please like and subscribe below Also, click on the link below join me in a free strategy session I'd love to help you set up a game plan to crush it. Let's get back to the video Let's talk about hours for a second. All right So in the beginning when you first start in the automotive space Most of the time you're gonna end up working a lot of hours because it's a business that you don't really understand yet And especially if you're a high achiever, okay, and you're somebody who wants to do really well You'll probably end up working 40 to 50 to 60 hours within your first couple months Now as you start to understand and figure out what processes, you know work best for you and the best way to You know, I say crush everybody in your store. Guess what these hours will start to scale down As your money scales up now I'm a person where I believe that nobody can outwork me But that doesn't mean outwork me like as in clocked in hours There's 60 minutes in an hour and how you work 60 minutes in that hour is actually what matters Most salespeople will come in at 8 a.m. In the morning, and they'll leave at 9 p.m. At night Only to have really worked two real hours during the day Don't don't be that guy listen to me when I say this You could work eight hours a day and you could put in more work than some sales people put in in four days of work Just by really watching your time and by time blocking so I'll just share with you hours They're gonna be high in the beginning when you're getting in But if you've been selling cars for a long time and those hours haven't come down a little bit I'd really recommend on leveling up and elevating your skill and you can always reach out to us We'll help you with that. Okay. Let's talk about potential long term. This is an important area Okay, so you start as a salesperson and by the way just so you understand this whether you're a manager Whether you're a GM or whether you're a salesperson or you own the dealership Everybody is responsible for selling if you don't sell guess what you're not gonna make any money So everybody has to sell great GM's do what they sell a lot Okay, maybe they now may not be the ones out there shaking hands right when people pull up But they are doing lots of selling they're making sure that deals get closed customers get taken care of Yesterday's customers tomorrow's customers and today's customers guess what selling is everything It's either sell or be sold if you're not selling somebody they're selling you on an excuse on why they need to leave I want you to understand that so when you look at long-term potential here as you move up in the ranks to the dealership It's not my goal to tell you that you know a title if you go to KFC and you work the manager makes more than the employee Okay, the I would say the the cash register person or something. Okay, or the cook But that's not that's not the same in the car business I know people in the car business that sell cars that make more money than their GM's I did when I sold cars I made three times more than my GM But guess what I didn't want the title I would always say hey call me the janitor just show me the money titles don't mean anything to me Okay, we're all selling so titles aren't everything. So I want you to understand this Don't be so quick to move up into management. Although that it could be a good promotion Sometimes it could also be a demotion. Okay, so just choose wisely selling is done in all three positions Salesman manager and GM. Okay, but you can move up big time. There's giant potential in this business I mean by the way doesn't require a degree. Okay So what will life look like when you're selling cars? Well, what it will look like is this you're probably a Want to bring your own lunch? Okay, you don't want to go to work every day and spend a lot of money eating out Also, you don't want to get stuck in the fast food lane that most car sales people live in and guess what?  Okay, and I know that you know lunch is at 11 o'clock But in the car business, we really don't have a lunch. Okay, we are there to sell cars whenever the customer's there And we're always grinding. We're always hustling. So that's something you think about right? Well life look like Lunch is gone. We eat on the fly bring your own food Secondly, let's talk about the mindset attitude, which we talked about over here that you have to have You're probably gonna want to stay motivated and watch YouTube videos constantly watch motivational videos constantly Be doing some exercise because you really got to raise your energy up a lot of places that you can work in Don't really require a lot of energy Car business does the reason why is because when people get excited and get emotional They want to spend money. So it's your job as a salesperson to want to stay jacked up constantly Also on top of that you always work Saturdays one of the things in the car business is that on Saturdays? Everybody's off work. So what do we want to do? We want to be there for the weekends when they're free. So Versus a typical job where you're working Monday through Friday You'll actually work Monday through Saturday and you'll take a day off in the middle of the week normally and Then you'll end up working Saturday, but those Saturdays really pay out well. Okay, so let's talk about Organization for a minute This is something that a lot of sales people don't have so it's important for you to have that You know, I've got a weekly crush at planner, right? That's amazing. You know, if you go to the Elliott group now calm You can look at the weekly crush at planner. It's it's wicked a lot of people don't plan So, you know, people don't plan to fail they fell to plan the day is one before it begun So people don't plan that they walk into the dealership They hope that you know some magical customer will come pulling in and they really don't do anything except for just hang around You don't want to be that guy you want to stay organized You want to time block your day from 8 a.m. In the morning till 6 p.m. When you leave in the afternoon? It really doesn't matter just make that happen So another deal work ethic Work ethic is huge. You definitely want to make sure that you have work ethic I was labeled at one of the hardest workers in the dealership within the first three to four months when I started selling cars and How that happened is by out working everybody. I wasn't the most talented Okay, but hard work beats talent when talent don't show up So that was one of the ways that I beat a lot of the guys out right at the gate who were more talented than me was because of Work ethic, right? Also, you can click on a link below in the description box You will see that you can set up a free consultation call with us. What does that mean you say Andy? What is that? It's basically a strategy call what we do is that if you're thinking about getting in We just talked to a guy about two weeks ago. He said Andy. I'm thinking about getting in the car business Guess what we did we set him up a plan He started when got his first job and the first week out the gate He sold 12 cars now I know salespeople have been doing this for two years and they haven't sold 12 cars, right per month Anything is possible. There is no limit on a human But you have to be willing to get a strategy to get a game plan and all these things play out and they're super important So if you want to click on the link below, we do what's called 20 minute strategy calls You can set it up with us We want to time block it set it in where we can actually get your full attention or you can get our full attention We meet you see what's going on and then we set up a strategy so you can crush it I hope this video helped you. I hope you guys have a great day


What makes you succeed at school versus what makes you succeed in life? You were taken to school even before you knew what it was. At first, it was like a plain ground but within a few years, it became obvious to you that it's a lot of work to remain in school. If you're like most of us, you hated every day of your life in that environment but you couldn't leave because school was preparing you to succeed in life or so your parents made you believe. 18 to 21 years after your first day in school, you graduated with high hopes, most likely for a good job. It's only then the reality of the real life starts showing itself to you. After spending one decade in the real world, you start asking yourself whether school actually thought you how to succeed in the real world. In this video, we'll be sharing with you the difference between what it takes to succeed in school and what it takes to succeed in the real world. If you are new here, consider subscribing so you won't miss other interesting videos like this. 1. School hates failures. Life is about failures. I remember checking my results in the first year of the diploma course I did. I was the best student in my class yet I wasn't happy. I wasn't happy because I didn't score up to what I wanted. Being a great student I was, I hated to score 70 over 100. For me to be happy, I had to score 90 something. That's what it takes to be a great student.  While this is good for academics purpose, hating failures has a way of conditioning us to think that failure is a bad thing altogether. Unfortunately, in the real world, failure is the name of the game. You have to be strong enough to get out and try things, even when there is no assurance of success. You have to be strong enough to smile at failures. You have to be strong enough to go out again even after a thousand failures. While school conditioned us to hate failures, failure is what it takes to succeed. 2. School gives you a map. Life gives you nothing. At school, you were told to study hard so that you could get good grades, so that you could get a good job and get someone to pay you for 30-35 years after which the same person pays you pension forever. There seems to be a plan and a map. All you have to do is to follow the plan religiously and all will be well with you. Unfortunately, life doesn't have a map. In the real world, those who follow the map never succeed. This almost always goes to the people who go out without any map and figure out who they are and what they want all on the road. You can't follow a map and be successful in life because that map will lead you to where everyone is going. The map is predictable and that's why everyone follows it. Unfortunately, because everyone follows a map, it becomes a crowded path that leads to nowhere. To succeed in life, you must believe in yourself so much that you are willing to pursue your dreams even without any predictable route or map. You must be willing to get out without any certainty and believe that the dot will connect itself anyhow. 3. School is about competition. Life is about cooperation. My default brain setting when I was in school was competition. I wasn't just satisfied to have A's. I must be the best student. I must beat everyone. School conditions us to see life as a competition. While in the real sense of it, life is about cooperation. Today as an entrepreneur, I can see this plainly as I watch most people going through life without knowing how to partner or cooperate with other people. That's one major reason why most people are poor. To succeed in life, you must know how to build teams, bring people together and partner with others. Life isn't about competition. It's about cooperation. 4. School has nice teachers. Life is a tough teacher. School has good teachers who smile and play to teach you. Life is a jungle. It's a tough place. You don't get anything except you fight for it. Fighting for it means that you'll fall and fail, cry and mourn. It's tough and rough.  5. School gives lessons before test. Life gives test before lessons. In school, the teacher gives you the lessons and then tests your understanding of the lessons. In life, you get the test and failures before the lessons. Though this is a tough way to learn, it's the best way because when you experience pains, you are much more likely to pay attention to the lessons than if the lessons come and the test later. 6. School preaches obedience. Life is about disobedience. You see, school gives us rules, formulas and procedures. To succeed at school, you must follow all these rules as seen in mathematics, chemistry and every other subject. Resuming at school at a certain hour and closing at a certain time, wearing certain uniforms and pretty every other stuff is all about rules that require your obedience which makes you worship laws and status quo. Unfortunately in the real world, success only goes to people who walk against the crowd. This requires disobedience. To succeed in the real world, a part of you must be willing to disobey what everyone thinks is normal or conventional. You must be courageous enough to go into the bush and make your way where there is none. 7. School makes your brain smart. Life makes your heart strong. Several studies have proved your success in school doesn't have any correlation with your success in the real life. However, one thing does and that's the emotional intelligence. How people are able to deal with emotions such as fear, anger, anxiety and the rest greatly influence how far they can go in life. The game of life is a game of the heart. You must be strong, not only in the brain but much more in the heart. You must be able to take actions despite fear. You must be able to control your anger or anxiety. You must be willing to fight for your dreams. In summary, school hardly prepares you for the real world but you can train yourself to achieve greatness. Don't expect life to be easy. Don't wait for a map. You're willing to get out without any assurance of success.  Learn how to partner and cooperate with people. Accept failures as a necessary part of success and train your heart to overcome emotions that may want to keep you a coward.


Can I switch black and white film for the infinity photo? My name is David Patton. When I started photography, I wanted to make art. I wanted to be a landscape photographer. But with a family to feed and bills to pay, I decided it would be better to be a working photographer than a starving artist. So I took a job as a photojournalist. 25 years and thousands of assignments later, it was time to go back to my first love. It was time to follow my passion. Come along on my journey to become the best black in my photography I can be. Whether it be film or digital, I will be sharing what I learned through my successes and my failures, in hopes to inspire and educate. This is my journey. This is Bright in the Edge. Today I'm out trying to answer the question, can I stitch photos, specifically black and white, film photos? It's nothing I've ever done before. And it's something that I would like to know for the future. So you might be asking yourself, why in the world would I want to stitch film images? I have a couple of reasons. First, there are a lot of times where I'm out shooting that I come across a scene that I think would make a good panorama. So it would be nice to know if I went ahead and shot one with my film camera, it'd be nice to know if they would actually turn out, so I won't be wasting my film. Another reason is my widest lens is a 45 millimeter on my medium format camera, which is probably somewhere around the angle of view of like a 28 millimeter in the 35 millimeter equivalent, something like that. It's not real wide, and there are some scenes that I come across that would be nice to have just a little more angle of view, a little wider look. And at this time, I really can't afford to go out and buy another lens from my film photography kit. So I'd like to know if I need to, if I could stitch a couple of images together to get that wider look. Maybe not necessarily for a panoramic look, but just to extend the frame a little bit, just increase the angle of view just a little bit. I might be asking a lot for a affinity photo to stitch black and white film together. The only way to find out is to give it a try. I don't know if the grain's gonna affect it. I don't know if not having color information is going to make it difficult for the program. But once I find out if I can do it or not, then I know if it's an option or not when I'm out taking pictures. Very straightforward, very simple. That's all this video is about. I shot these images on Delta 100, and the lens I used was a 45 millimeter, because that's the lens I'm most curious about. If I can extend its range just a little bit. So I've got a few scenes. I've shot some horizontal and some vertical. And this is just one roll. The one I waste a lot of film on something that, you know, might not work. So I'm gonna head back to the house and develop this film and show you what I got. Well, I got my results back, and I scanned the negatives. I scanned the negatives in a way that kept them pretty consistent. I set the crop marks and the exposure for the first frame and then just used every frame that I scanned. I used the same settings just to kind of make it a little easier. And I'm happy to say that Affinity Photo came through with flying colors. Handle it just fine. Didn't have a problem with making out the information. Blended the files really well. So now it's nice to know that now when I go out, if I see a scene that I want to shoot as a panorama, instead of making the frame smaller by cropping, I can actually make the film bigger by stitching a few frames together. Really, you just put it together like you would a file shot from a digital camera. I was just worried that there wasn't gonna be enough information with black and white film that the software might have trouble stitching that together. But really, in the scenarios that I shot so far, it has made a problem. So that makes me pretty happy. I'm really glad that when I'm out, if I see a panorama, I can take it.  Well, I hope you got something out of this video. I know I did. So until next time, thanks for coming along to the ride.


Hi, my name is Vin. I'm a customer experience specialist in Superoffice. I help customers get on board and get more productive. Today I'll show you why Superoffice Diary is my favorite feature. Here you see my diary. I just got off the phone with Melissa from Sun Energy to meet with her for an interview on Wednesday. To book the meeting in Superoffice, I just drag it here and it opens. Press Save. And it's scheduled. I see that it collides with my dentist appointment, so I rescheduled it to Friday. And just by drag and drop it. Here, now it's rescheduled. I've just shown you how easy the Superoffice Diary is to use and it's a great time saver. I hope you enjoyed it. Thank you for watching.


So now we've learned about the background, to some extent, the machinery that the plant is going to use. Then we have to think about the plant itself. What is it? Well, it's basically a support structure for chloroplasts. That's what it's there for. It's rather like the selfish gene view. You can argue that plants exist only to support the chloroplasts that are within them. So we have typically a support structure. Well, I suppose we start at the very bottom and we've got the roots, which we've already remarked are essential for pulling the nutrients out of the soil that the plant uses to make the machinery, which is photosynthesis as well. Then there's a trunk. That typically holds the plant up. To be honest, it's not always quite clear what the function of a trunk is. In many cases, it helps to keep the leaves above predation, or it may move them up into sunlight, where the photosynthesis becomes more effective. But if you take it to the extreme and you look at, for example, why some trees are tall and others are short, it's not at all apparent why that's the case. So there are some subtleties involved in that. So that trunk is mostly made out of carbohydrates, which at the very beginning we learned came from the seed, but all the other synths then have been produced by the photosynthesis plant itself. So you've got the trunk and you've got the branches, and they serve to distribute the leaves. And the leaves are simply organs to photosynthesize. They're little structures to house chloroplasts. So the trunk and the roots bring the water up that the plant needs, and the leaves themselves are broad and flat and optimized to capture sunlight and to give a high surface area through which CO2 can be brought into the mechanisms that will capture it and convert it into sugars. The leaves themselves, typically they're sort of a bit of a compromise between structural strength and making the best out of the resources that are available. Of course, the majority of the leaf is made out of carbohydrates, but there are other materials in there such as lignins as well, which start their lives also as compounds that are synthesized from calm dioxide water. So the leaf has little holes in the bottom bit that are called stomata. And these stomata serve to allow calm dioxide into the chloroplasts, where the sunshine will illuminate the chlorophyll within them and can be converted to energy. The holes in the bottom of the leaf, the little stomata, they lead into usually a rather spongy tissue called mesophyll, where much of the chloroplasts are. Though they're also in the upper part of the leaf just below the surface, the light penetrates fairly deeply into the leaf, and often the maximum photosynthesis is well into the thickness of the leaf. Now what do the little holes do? Well, one of the things they do is lose water. And the water actually, losing water is not really an essential part of the plant's function. The plant spends a lot of effort and energy to draw water out of the soil, up through the branches and out through the leaves. Why does it do it? Well, the water cools the leaves a bit, which on some circumstances can be useful, but mostly it's because they want to capture CO2. To capture CO2, the little stomata in the bottom of the leaf have to be open, and when they're open, typically a plant loses something like 400 times as much water as the CO2 that it gains. That's partly because water being a lighter molecule diffuses faster than CO2 does, and partly of course because there's a lot more water than CO2 for which we can be grateful. Something like 25,000 ppm of water versus at the moment about 400 ppm of CO2. But the plant doesn't want to lose the water, it's just stuck with that situation. And some plants, such as cacti, will go out of their way to avoid that situation. So a cactus is a bit cunning about the way that it separates its photosynthetic processes. The stomata open at night and the cactus captures CO2 through the open stomata while the temperature is lower and the relative humidity is higher, so it loses less water. It then stores the compounds that it's created with the stored carbon dioxide, closes its stomata and waits for sunshine. And then when the sunshine comes, it moves into the light processes of photosynthesis and it starts creating ATP, NADPH and all those other substances that will be necessary to drive the dark cycles that continue in the night and actually synthesize the sugars.


Greetings test equipment friends. So recently I got from eBay this HP timing generator. This is model number 59308A and it came with this attached piece which is a test tone generator model 10831A. And the people who sold me this on eBay said that it does not power up so I thought it would be interesting to try to diagnose and fix this. So the purpose of at least the timing generator part of it, from what I can tell from the manual, is that it's either a digital delay generator or a precision time marker generator. So in the timer mode it basically you trigger it and then it provides a pulse a certain period after that. And you can see here that it says time in microseconds. I guess you can't go yeah you can't go lower than that so this would go only down to one microsecond. And in the time marker generator basically when you trigger it it sends out a pulse every so often according to the setting on the front panel. So there's the function switch either pacer which is the timer pulse generator or timer which is just the delay. Here's a button for triggering and resetting. In the back we can see that these are the outputs. So we have this is the trigger input and it can be triggered either positive going edge or negative going edge with a threshold set to 1 volt or 4 volts. Here's the output. The output can either be a 50 nanosecond pulse or it can be a square wave and the pulse I guess could be positive going or negative going and they've got both ECL and TTL outputs. You've got your usual HPIB setup with the address over here and here is the power input and there is the fuse. The fuse looks okay to me so why don't we just power this up and see what happens. Okay now I've plugged it in and apparently nothing is happening but then again I don't see actually a power switch on this thing. There is a power switch on this part doesn't seem to do anything but then again it has its own separate power inlet. So again this doesn't seem to do anything the on button doesn't seem to to the on LED at least or light doesn't seem to do anything and in the back I really don't see any on-off switch I mean there's there's this thing that says bus pacer. There's an internal frequency standard so we can certainly try to resolve this and the first thing that we're going to do is check that the power supply is supplying the voltages that it should. Now unfortunately it seems as though whoever scanned this manual in neglected to unfold the sheets or maybe they did fold the sheets but their software was dumb and did not recognize the width of the sheet. So this is about all we're going to be able to see of the power supply which is okay so obviously we see the inlet over here along with some filter capacitors and then we have the 115 to 230 volt selector switch then we've got a big transformer followed by on the one side we have a diode bridge along with a filter capacitor for the input what appears to be a three terminal voltage regulator and a capacitor on the output and the orientation of the capacitor tells me that this is going to be a negative voltage output that is followed by apparently another linear regulator and another connected filter capacitor on the output which again will give us some negative voltage now on the other side we can see that we have a center tapped section with a halfway of bridge the center tap goes down to ground we've got an input filter cap another linear regulator and an output with some sort of jumper and a bunch of capacitors on the outside coming from the unregulated output we have what appear to be some zener diodes we've got a 4.22 volt zener diode and then a 2.87 volt zener diode which gives us about seven volts or so so we can test this to see if it's seven volts we can test each of these linear regulators because they are probably they're probably well-known chips u 53 54 and 55 okay u 53 says it's an LM 320 h-12 regulator that would be 12 volts u 54 just says linear regulator but over here it shows that it's a 7805 which is a 5 volt regulator and then u 55 is an LM 320 5.2 volt regulator so this will be able to tell us what voltages we expect so here we are looking at the inside we can see that there is the input transformer we have some big filter caps down here let's see we've got a lot of logic chips this over here says 1826-0122 which according to the parts list is a 7805 so there's the 5 volt regulator right there we can actually probe that to see if there is 5 volts coming out alright so here we go kind of very carefully with hopefully not touching anything probe okay so I'm going to have this backwards really okay so we're getting negative or actually positive 9.9 volts on the input and on the output we're getting the expected whoops we're getting the expected 5 volts what I'm going to do is I'm going to just check some of these TTL looking chips to see if we're getting actually that power routed and yes indeed I'm getting 4.9 volts which is enough to run the logic so clearly the logic section seems to be working okay so I believe that I've located one of the voltage regulators so if let's hope that this shows up okay that's the input it's about 16 volts and the output and I've got my lead switched around so it's going to look negative so that's the output oh it doesn't look negative so that's the output it's 12 volts there's another set of three terminals over here which I think is the other voltage regulator which is a 5.2 volt regulator so if I probe that I should get something so there's 12 volts and on the other end I'm getting negative 5.2 or you know if I had my probes around the right way 5.2 volts so I know that all the voltages are being output properly so we've got 5 volts we've got 12 we've got negative 12 volts and we've got negative 5.2 volts so that then leaves the question why isn't this light turning on maybe just the light is bad so let's take that apart so this is how the front comes off and you can see that I've removed this second unit it was basically held on in the back and then there were these little grippy grippy things that hooked in to each other on the front and then basically I didn't actually have to remove that because there is nothing over here holding it on but there are screws on the top and the bottom and this just I was able to push this out because there are just these three connectors this board over here connects to these little rotary switch guys and it just comes off like that so the only thing that's left is this and we can actually see that things are labeled function so that would be this trigger reset that would be this button local PB that tells us whether the HPIB bus is controlling the device or if we're controlling it locally and then there's addressed remote and on on is the thing that I'm interested in so the other thing that we could do is we could just hook up power supply up to it and a resistor and see if we can get these things to light up that's probably the easiest thing to do just to make sure that this that this LED actually does work if it is indeed an LED now that I look at it it kind of sort of looks like there are lamps and unfortunately the schematic doesn't say anything if there are lamps then they would have a resistance so let's see if there's a resistance showing up no I don't see it well okay I don't see any resistance across this thing which could mean that it's burned out let's try on this side we're getting a resistance of 11 ohms across that one and 12 ohms across this one so in fact the only thing wrong with this piece of equipment is that there is a bulb here that is burned out so I would just have to find out what the voltage and resistance rating or current rating of this bulb is and just replace it so what I'm going to do is I'm just going to desoldered that and take a look at it to see what I can find okay so I just quickly desoldered this bulb so let's see what we have to see does this actually come out doesn't seem like it does this may in fact be all one piece which is not great because that's pretty custom looking so let's see what sort of voltage we're getting across that bulb huh five volts so that's actually interesting that's five volts DC is there any AC voltage on that no it doesn't look like there's any AC voltage so this is basically a simple five volt TTL output and we can just slap an LED across it with a resistor yeah that's that's actually getting a little more dim let's where is the front panel maybe I should see what it looks like through the front panel so may not be the best LED for it but actually that doesn't really look too bad how about we stick with that sure all right let's see how it looks it lights up it looks pretty good to me I did look on Mouser and Digikey to see if I could find this bulb the parts list says that this is a T1 and three-quarters bulb that refers to the lens size and it's five volts there was even a manufacturer and a manufacturer number the manufacturer no longer exists and a Google search for the part number turns up absolutely nothing I didn't find anything that looked anything like this I did find bulbs that went up to maybe about here and then had a bulb on top that might have actually worked but I also looked at the specification of this sort of bulb and they draw something like a hundred milliamps which is quite a lot whereas this draws barely a fraction of a milliamp now I don't know if you can see this this sort of bright spot that's not a camera effect or a lighting effect there was actually a label sitting on top of here and when I removed it you could see a very definite color difference between what was under the label and the rest of the thing it looks like I don't know this has been sitting around for well I mean if the chips are from 1983 it's been pretty much 35 years so that's 35 years of ultraviolet I might try the retro brighting technique on this this is just plastic it's not metal again this is extremely cheaply made there are these labels in here which I don't think will work very well for the retro brighting process but that's on the bottom this is on the top and the top is definitely a browner than the bottom so I also took the labels off of here and that worked pretty well so and in case you're wondering I did actually test that the square wave function worked it turns out that there was a little note here that says output not square when exponent equals 0 and I did have the exponent here set to 0 so instead I just set it to 5 times 10 to the 1 or 50 microseconds and it was bang on 50 microseconds so I changed this and the frequency definitely did change and it was a nice square wave so anyway there we go that's about it thank you very much bye
