And since Justice Taliwal, Paranjit Singh Taliwal, which was the president of Punjab State Consumer Redressal Commission, we made a request to him, a session why not take it in Punjabi? Since a lot of people are from Punjab and he being originally from Mansa. And you would be feeling that since the session is in Punjabi and I am speaking English because I have seen a lot of participants who have joined down from south for them to make them understand that we are taking the session in Punjabi. The session in Punjabi is because a lot of people have been requested to continue the session in Punjabi so that they can understand what kind of processes are there. And what are the ways for each and every agreement to be attracted to the Consumer Forum and the rest of the law. Because the time has been short, the topic has been short, and the judges will request that we continue the session in Punjabi. Simple, safe, Pahashar, and Aajidah. What do you say? All of them. Namaskar, Sarsi, Kaal, Adab. Aajidah is a very important topic. We have to talk about the numerous contracts that we have to make in order to make such an agreement. This matter has already been brought by the Supreme Court, notice has been brought by the Supreme Court, that there are a lot of conditions on one side. Ashwini Upade, the Union of India, the Supreme Court has suggested that the Builder-Buyer Agreement and the Builder-Buyer-Agent Agreement should be standardized throughout the country. Specifically, keeping that in mind, there should be conditions on one side, which are favorable for the builders, and how they should be controlled. Everyone's desire should be kept in mind in their lives.  The builders who are the promoters, who advertise their work, they are very good at talking, their work will be organized, their construction will be organized. If we give them any delivery, then they will get a 70% or 90% or 95% position, and they won't get a specific job. But when they make an allotment agreement, then there should be a lot of conditions on one side. If the builders who have their hard-earned money are in a difficult situation, then the builders are very tired. They don't have the money to pay them. They don't have the money to pay them. They don't have the money to pay them. They don't have the construction quality. They don't have the structure to create a structure that is demolished. This is how the situation is. The substandard quality of the builders, the administration who have controlled the housing board and the agencies, they are also involved, because they don't have any structure, no specific inspection is done. This is what we are keeping in mind. Vikas is saying that this is the topic of today's show. There are many people who have requested to speak in Hindi, so that they can understand the common people. I think this is important, because it is written in some act that it is important to educate people, to wear everything, to wear the society. Now, for any company who is buying and building an agreement, who is a promoter, I have examined that recently in Gorshan and Sands, in Madhavi Sinha's case. These decisions have been examined by all. First of all, the unfairness is that whatever terms are given at a pre-contract stage, in the newspaper, in the big advertisements, in the brochures, whatever contract agreement is written, they are not given. They are not given, they are missed. Similarly, there is an argument that there is an advertisement that is being made. The advertisements that are being made, they are approaching it. That is being made by the shatras. So, they are giving an agreement on a Punjab. It is not just about the dotted space. It is not just about the sign that is being read. I don't get the chance to read the rest. The biggest problem is the agreement that is being made by anyone. There are 15-20 of them who read the agreement. They don't understand what is being read. The builder, the businessman, the business man, the business man, the business man, the business man, the business man, the comparison of the north and Pacific, they are entering the conditions so that they remain affectionate above any situation. Again, there's an agreement that is being made by the average buyer and we are sad that it is not just an advertisement. There are open spaces. To ground it so that they can extract our pass. I'm going to give you an agreement which says that the company shall presume the consent. This is the building. It will be considered that Lottie has given them permission to change the layout of the zoning plan. I don't have the consent to change the layout of the zoning plan. I have bought the house. I have bought the house. I pay 10% of the rent in the park. But the condition of the house is that they don't set up their own commercial. So my very purpose is over. The unfair condition is also unfair. My name is Sahabnal. It is written in the 2019 act. They have explained the unfair contract. The definition of the subsection 2 is 46. In the definition of section 2 and 47, the unfair trade practice will be covered. Because the trader is doing something wrong. He is doing something wrong. This is the unfair condition. The next condition is that it will not be the responsibility of the builder. That all the amenities will be provided. The road will be proper. There will be electricity. There will be a sewerage. There will be a club. All the facilities will be provided. But they don't provide the opportunity. That is why the basic necessities are provided. You will be able to stay properly. The purpose of the project will be served. If all these facilities are available. All these facilities are not available. There is no electricity. There is no electricity. If you are paying the same amount. There will be some delay. If you are interested, adjust the amount first. But if you are not able to pay even if you have the grace of possession, then there is no benefit. This is also unfair. Now, I have seen a lot of things. I am the president of the Numeric Commission. I have seen that many builders are planning their project. When the project is planned, they say that they have written the conditions in the agreement. If the project is planned, they will return the money without any interest. If the project is planned after 4 years, then we will not get any interest if we keep it in Lakhhar. This is our unilateral condition. Ultimately, it will affect us. The only difficulty is that we have to take the benefit of the contract. Our contract is the same as the classical contract which is our daily juice. One thing I am saying is that when you sign a document, you are bound by the contract. But look at the situation. The bargaining power of the contractor and the bargaining power of the Numeric Commission has a lot of differences. What is the document given to the contractor? Sign it, take it or leave it. If you want to buy it, then do not buy it. In that situation, the situation will be different. If you want to buy it, then you have to sign it. This is the condition. This is also very arbitrary. It is unilateral. The contract law which is deeply complicated is that negotiations have already been done. When it comes to Punjab, there is no discussion. Only 2-3 things you know. One is that this will be the nature of the plot. This will be the plot number. This will be the total cost of the plot. And this amount you will have to give in this manner. Maybe installment or others. If this is the case, then there is no liability of the builder. Then what is done? The final decision is that if the builder will deliver a possession, then the completion and the occupation certificate will be given to the competent authority. And if the certificate lands, then the possession will be given. But the condition is written in the AADA agreement. The BAS is not our responsibility. If there is a delay in the BAS, then we will not have any liability. If we give all the money and the possession is taken, then we will not be able to do anything. The first thing we have to do is completion. Then the occupation. We do not get the certificate. You can only do the occupation. If you do not get the certificate, then the occupation is illegal. The condition is like this. It will affect you. What is the condition that is usually examined? The interest-free maintenance security. If there is an agreement, then it is added. IMFs. What happens then? If it is added, then the 50,000-60,000 security will be given. That 7 years of project is not complete. That will gain interest. But nothing is found. The issue of maintenance. There have been recent judgements. That only arises. When there is a complete project, then the possession is given. Security, for the first time in life, they are taking the charges of maintenance, they are still taking it. All these conditions are unilateral. Now, what has changed in the law? Our conumer act, which is beneficial to the conumer. The good thing about it is that it has been explained in unfair terms. The section which has been explained in unfair contracts, in sub rule 46. They have specified that all these conditions are not excessive, but they are guiding. Still, we can make out from the various conditions whether these are unfair. We can examine all these issues. The biggest issue is that we have section 43, 1 sub section, further sub section A2I. With that, you can file your complaint in unfair terms. There is a state commission, district commission only. There is section 492, which has been given the power of declaration. The contract of these conditions can be declared null and void. You can claim the amount. You can claim the amount of interest and compensation. When we will determine compensation, what is to be seen? Say, I wrote a book in 2015. The possession was to be delivered in 2021. The development was to be done in 2021. The possession was to be delivered in 2021. The grey speed was also dropped. The project was not being made in 2021. What happened in this situation? There was no inflation, no cost of everything. But if we look at all these things, we have to prepare for proper evidence. So that we can prove that this is the increase and this compensation can be claimed on that basis. This is the power of the National Commission. Now, the latest amendment is that, exceeding 50 lakhs up to 2 crore has been with the state commission. The district commission has no jurisdiction. Now, the question arises, key is the amount of the consideration is less than 50 lakhs. Can the file complaint in the state commission? Law is well settled, in my opinion, and I have given judgments also. When I am entering into a contract, which is worth Rs. 35 lakhs, I had paid 35 lakhs. The jurisdiction is with the state commission. But the district commission has no power to declare it null and void. That is why the law is now very clear. The contract is worth Rs. 1 or Rs. 2 crore, not more than Rs. 2 crore. You can file a complaint in the state commission. I think this is a very important factor. There is no jurisdiction. The issue is unfair terms. The issue of unfair contract terms, which you are spoiled to, which can only be examined by the state commission. That is why the complaint can be filed in the state commission. That is why the complaint can be filed in the state commission. These are the basic changes which have been made now. The most important judgments in this subject are that Madhvi Srinam vs. Gorshan, who is the builder of this idea. I have written all the details. I have cited all the judgments. This is not a contract. It should not be writing. It should not be taking money. It should not be selling the plot further without changing the layout plan. In this situation, I would not declare the contract null and void. This is not a bench. In other cases, there are many cases like this. In the Supreme Court, there is a real-tech private limited verses of Sheikh Khanna. There is a point in infrastructure versus Govindan Raghavan. The National Commission has also made a decision. Some more important judgments are also there. If you want to note down, I can give from the judgment I am having of Madhvi Srinam. Point year urban land and infrastructure versus Govindan Raghavan. 2019, Volume 5, SCC 725. Air Force Naval Housing Board versus Commodore BK Gandhi. Wing Commander Arif Rahman Khan versus DLF. Aerograve Real Tech versus Sheikh Khanna. Narni Construction versus Union of India. Meghna Singh Kheda versus Unitech. They are all the latest judgments which are favorable to the consumers. My opinion is that first try to go through all the terms. Try to add your own terms. No change in terms of business. No change. I think this will be the Mr. Vikas. Hello. Mr. Vikas. No change in terms of business. No change in terms of business. No change in terms of business. I think this will be the Mr. Vikas. Hello. Mr. Vikas, now we can have interaction with the... I can see if there is any question. But probably you have explained everything. Yes, yes. So you have told me that we can have short talks. Yes, yes. I think you are saying that there is a limitation in weather. Is it continuous or wrong? If there is a question, then it will be a rise. If there is a gray speed type, then it is after 2 years. Yes, yes. There is a specific period within 36 months. 36 months, there is some further gray speed for 90 days or so. After the last date, which is the gray speed date, after that, within 2 years. The other question that comes up, is how much jurisdiction will be determined from the agreement. Sometimes it will be from plots, from Punjab, from the company's registered office in Delhi. If it was now, it would not have been loaded. It would have been amended in a new way, just like the Motor Vehicle Act. The person who resides as a complainant, he can file a complaint there. The state commission of Punjab, any property situated in Punjab, part of the cause of action has risen in Punjab, or the person resides in the state of Punjab, he can file in Punjab. It has become beneficial. Now the conumers are not spoiled to go to UP, because otherwise they are spoiled to go to Noida.  You can file a complaint in Punjab. You will have to only show that you are presently resident of a particular state, where you want to file a complaint. The topic was very limited, but the complaint was that aspects are a complainant, an ordinary person is a consumer friendly, an ordinary person is a user friendly. What are the things you have to keep in mind and what are the assertions of the consumer complaint? The complaint should be very precise and true facts. The basic thing is that you are a consumer. The main issue that arises, I have bought the property as a commercial. The issue is that the property is commercial, the complaint is maintainable, because there is no commercial. The explanation is given in the conumers. I have specifically mentioned that the commercial property that you are buying is for self-employment and personal gains. Not for any other purpose. If you are out of that, then you will be treated as a consumer. As an advocate, I have purchased an office. This is my self-employment. I have to gain. In this situation, that will not be treated as a consumer complaint. This is a commercial property. The first thing is the facts. The short method is to file all the complaints. Self-tested affidavits are acceptable.  The main thing is that many times the situation comes that some people do payments, they do not receive them. Some do not receive them. Some do not receive payments. Some do not receive money. There is no difficulty in that. But the kind of payment that you will prove in the documentary, it will be recoverable. It will give you a simple performance. You will be able to complete the S-Date of your documents. These are my facts. These are my conditions. These are my agreements. You can simply file a complaint. You can bring your affidavits. If you meet someone, then the opposite party will come to the Supreme Court that they cannot delay. Within time they have to file within 45 days from the service of some months. They cannot delay for 15 days. They cannot delay for 15 days. They cannot delay for 15 days. These are the basic things. When the reply comes, something is limited right. We can file a rejuvenation. Only the new things the opposite party has given. Thereafter it comes for arguments only. Thank you, sir. And thank you to all the participants who have been watching. Though we for the first time tried the session in Punjabi. But Justice Dhalival has taken us to the entire gamut that filing of the complaint is quite friendly. The jurisdiction he has explained that you can file where the complaint resides. A lot of damages can be given. There is a couple with the fact that once there are large number of documents while the agreements are being signed, if so, factor that you have signed those documents does not construe that you have accepted and acceded to all those terms. If on the face of it, those terms are unfair, the consumer forums have been holding time and again day in and day out to the effect that those cannot be adhered to. And you are liable to claim the compensation, your amount, along with interest, damages, etc. So thank you, friends. Do stay connected with us. And tomorrow in these webinar series wherein we have taken sessions across from English, we have changed what we can say is the gears. It is more akin to that. Now tomorrow the session will be procedural aspects under the arbitration act. And tomorrow again it will be in bilingual. That is by Justice Vinit Kuthari, a former Acting Chief Justice of Gujarat High Court and Madras High Court. So do stay connected with us tomorrow at 6 p.m. Stay happy, be healthy, and take care of yourself. Thank you.


what is up guys karma medic here and welcome back to another dose what do you guys think of my new decorations for loops cheerios so today i want to make a really cool video for you that i'm really excited to make it's about how to prepare for medical school interview questions it's something i wished i had when i was applying to medical school and when i was preparing for interviews so hopefully this helps you i hope you guys enjoyed this i'm doing a questions and answers video soon so that you guys can hopefully learn a little bit more about me about my background what i like to do my hobbies my interests blah blah blah so if you guys have any questions at all whether that's personal academic about kcl about medical school about applications about me about whatever just leave them in the comment section down below on youtube or on my instagram page karma medic and yeah i'll be answering all those questions in a q and a video soon let's get right into the video so you've made it to the interview stage of the medical school application process hooray hooray hooray congratulations this is great great news for you why because this is the one opportunity for you to show the interviewers who you are this is your opportunity to talk about your interests your hobbies this will show off your personality your charisma your energy all of that stuff and this is such a good opportunity to do so whether it's mmi interviews or whether it's panel interviews all of my tips everything is going to apply to both before i even got interviews to medical school i was already preparing for interviews because sometimes they give you only a week's notice sometimes it's usually like two weeks three weeks a month but sometimes you only get a week's notice and you want to make sure that you are as prepared as can be so i started preparing before i even got any interviews i was fully committed i was fully dedicated how interviews work is that interviewers are going to ask you questions and you're going to have to give an answer you're going to have to give a fairly short answer and it's going to have to include everything that you want to say as succinctly as possible giving the most detailed and important information as possible when you're preparing for medical school interview questions you want to know what kinds of questions are asked and the absolute best way to do this is just do tons of research on the internet step one is to make a word document title it whatever you want blah blah blah's lit interview questions document and you're going to run a write down all the damn questions that you find on the internet have to do with medical school interviews every single question why do you want to be a doctor what's your biggest weakness what's why this university what makes you a good doctor blah blah every single question you're going to want to write it down on that document and beneath each question you're going to start building your response you're going to start building an answer so a great way to find questions is to obviously just scour the internet there's tons and tons of resources most importantly you want to go on previous forums or university websites and look at the types of questions that they ask a lot of times the universities themselves will talk about what they will ask in an interview what kinds of things they want to see in an interview candidate and you want to make sure you write those down and you have them present second of all go on the student room go on other forums and look at students who have already been through the interview process look at what kinds of questions they were asked because it's very likely you'll be asked similar questions now a lot of people say that you shouldn't prepare for an interview that your answer should be like automatic and that you should be able to come up with your response on the spot I couldn't agree with this piece of advice less I couldn't want you to disregard anymore you should prepare for the interview like this is your life like the interview is the most important part this is where the admissions committee is going to decide if we want you or we don't want you prepare for this every single damn day every hour that you have you want to make sure that you kill it it's the last piece to the puzzle and it's super super important you can practice not being generic you can practice not talking like a robot you can practice sounding authentic don't worry about that stuff just make sure you have your content down you make sure you say what you want to say and get that across to the interviewers and then you can fix how it is that you're saying get in your delivery I'm going to go through a couple of steps that I think is the best way to create your answers to come up with what you need to prepare for a medical school interview question so like I said before first things first is to gather a huge huge huge range of questions I'm not kidding I probably had hundreds of questions in my document I ended up with a 10 000 word document of my responses this is no joke you need to prepare and make sure you're ready for the interviews after you've got down all of your questions you have to start somewhere so choose the questions that you think are going to be most relevant that you think might come up the most often and make sure you have answers for those questions first before the more obscure questions so you choose the question why do you want to be a doctor then beneath it you're going to sit down you're going to think and you're going to write out you're going to type out your response to that question now when writing out your response you want to use star s t a r and the reason for that is it's a really good way to structure a question the s stands for situation you want to give a really brief description of what the situation was just a quick summary of where you were what you were doing type of thing this is not the most important part of the question then you want to talk about the task what would you ask to do what is it that you had to do again not super super important this needs to be brief now the super important two things are actions and result or reflection actions is what you did to tackle this problem what you did to change something your actions your initiative this is the most important part and where the bulk of your answer should be following that is the result and the reflection the result is also very important but the reflection is even more important what you learned from that experience how you changed how you're going to go and act now in the future given what you did given the experience that you had the reflection is so so so super important once you've written that out sometimes it's going to be a page long if it's something like tell me about yourself or why do you want to be a doctor and sometimes it's going to be a small paragraph long okay and that's totally fine what you want to do is narrow it down to a point where you can speak it in one to two minutes you want to sit down in front of your computer and you want to read your response out loud and you want to time yourself if it turns out to be five minutes long that's definitely way too long and you need to cut it down if you're in the uk you want your answers to be anywhere between one and two minutes something like that because the interviewers are going to ask you multiple questions they're going to have follow-up questions so you want to be short and succinct once you have your answer down to one or two minutes that's great that's perfect now you need to practice saying this out loud first what I would do is just talk to my computer I would read out my answer and I would just practice saying it out loud because I don't know about you it's different for each person but for me this was something that took a lot of anxiety and a lot of obstacle to overcome for me to be able to say these answers with confidence and nothing helps like practice I would just say it and say it and say it try and memorize it so I can say it without looking at my computer because of course you need to remember this all from memory right once I could practice saying it out loud and I was comfortable with the material that I was saying I would start talking in front of a mirror this time without my notes without looking at the computer purely from memory now what talking to a mirror helps you do is that a you have to recall the information from memory and b you're able to see your demeanor you're able to see how you're acting whether you're fidgeting how you look if you're sitting up straight with good posture or if you're kind of hunched over like this if you're maybe leaning into the interviewer to sort of listen to what they're saying that shows good communication skills or whether you're just closed off like this and like really scared so looking in the mirror can definitely help with that and something similar to that is recording yourself now some people really like to record themselves others like myself don't I found that it just took way too much time to record and then to watch it back and record and then watch it back so I opted out for just looking into a mirror and talking to myself that way something I even did so that it would be more engaging for me was I just drew a smiley face on a piece of paper and I stuck that on the mirror and I was talking to the smiley face pretending that that was the interviewer so after you've spoken to the mirror hopefully you remember everything from memory now and you've got that part locked down now what you need to do is start talking to other people and this for me was the biggest jump in difficulty sometimes it's easier for you to talk to your best friend or to a family member or a parent and that's definitely where I would recommend starting if that's the most that's what's most comfortable for you for me I was in Toronto all of my family was in Greece and my sister was in the UK so I didn't really have family to talk to first and what I opted to do was to talk to people who I didn't know people who are also preparing for medical school interviews and that way I think it honestly took off a lot of pressure on me these people weren't my friends they weren't my family they weren't people who knew me so if I made a complete fool out of myself if I looked really stupid it wouldn't matter no one would care and I think that that's something that helped me get over my initial anxiety of saying my questions out loud to other people what I did is I met a couple of people who I had never known before in a interview mock interview practicing session that my university was hosting and I asked them if they wanted to practice with me speaking their answers out loud we were a group of three two people would talk one would be the interviewer one would be the interviewee and the third person would be an objective observer from the outside taking notes and after one of us gave a response both the interviewer and the objective third person would give their feedback just having that feedback from another person is so so so valuable and I cannot recommend it enough if you can form a small group like this it is the key to your success honestly to form this small group and start asking each other questions meet up once a day as much as you can and just go in circles one question per person and you keep switching rotating who's the interviewer who's the interviewee and who's the third objective person after failing so many times in front of those people being so red that I was a damn tomato I finally got over my anxiety of talking to other people and by the time I got to the interview room once I'd overcome the initial nerves and the initial scariness of the situation I became so friendly with the interviewers by the end of it we were having a totally different conversation separate to the actual interview so in summary the first thing you want to do is find a huge series of questions then you want to write out your responses to them using the star method after that you want to practice talking to the computer so that you can narrow it down to one to two minutes then you want to start talking in front of a mirror so that you make sure that you're confident saying it out loud and you can start remembering it from memory as well and after that you need to talk to another person another human being honestly it worked really really well for me and I think that it's a great adaptable way to practice for interview questions adapted to however you feel is best but I think it's a really good guideline I hope you found this video useful I hope you enjoyed the content and remember that I'm going to be doing a Q&A soon so ask me questions down in the comment section below or on my Instagram page and I'll answer them when I can in the Q&A video all right guys thank you so much for watching I hope you've enjoyed this I hope you found it useful and I'll see you in the next one peace


This paper reports on the synthesis of silver nanoparticles using an aqueous extract of seaweed entremorpha compressa as a reducing and stabilizing agent. The resulting particles were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, x-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy, and transmission electron microscopy. The particles were found to be spherical in shape with diameters ranging from 4 to 24 nanometers. The particles exhibited strong antibacterial and antifungal activities against both gram-positive and negative bacteria and fungi. Additionally, the particles displayed cytotoxic effects against L-richocytes carcinoma, EACT, cells, with an IC50 value of 95.35G slash ML. These results suggest that the seaweed mediated synthesis of silver nanoparticles may be used for biomedical and pharmaceutical applications. This article was authored by Vijayan Sri Ramkumar, Aravalgam Pagazendi, Kumar Gopalakrishnan, and others.


Hello and in this video what we're going to go through is why are ARK Invest buying this stock right now? Why are they buying it? In terms of quite a lot of stock on this here and we're going to go through in this video some information on the company, why they're buying it, where I see the price might go and some general research as well. So hopefully we can get into this without favor or due because you know I respect your time so let's get right into it. If you're new to the channel feel free to subscribe and leave the video a like. I'm new to this stock market video making shall we say. I'm a business teacher in real life but I'm by no means an expert on the stock market so obviously seek your own financial advice. But anyway let's go into this information without favor or due. So why are ARK Invest a really successful investment firm buying this stock on constantly? Okay they've bought a lot of the stock and we're going to find out why and we're going to look into the company and we're going to think about should you potentially buy it. So hopefully enjoy the video and so let's go into this. So Aqua Bounty, so this is the stock that they keep buying and you may have heard of this already if you maybe if you looked at some of the videos but let's go right into some of the really core information as to really why is this happening? What is the core reason behind it? Is there some core fundamentals that we can look at as to why this is happening? So at Aqua Bounty so in terms of what they do so they believe saving your favorite fish and helping save the planet should be one and the same. That's why we believe in using science and technology to help solve global problems like food scarcity and climate change. As leaders in aquaculture we are continually looking for new and innovative ways to share the seafood we love whilst leaving the world a better place. Aqua Bounty's innovative land-based farms combine its expertise in genetic engineering and are the answers to a rapidly increasing global demand for high quality seafood. So what they do is they're involved in GMO and creating high quality seafood. Now obviously GMO itself has got you know kind of controversial views around it whether whether you agree with it or not agree with it but what we've got to look at as investors what is what is the market potential where is the direction going with this at the end of the day. Okay so just a bit about them so what it is it's in terms of salmon genetics trying to produce fish that are larger and there's a potential market for. Okay in terms of GMO so it's a 17 billion global salmon market 17 billion dollars by a massive supply and demand in balance and increased need for fresh and nutritious proteins for a growing population. Okay so there's a massive market for this here so of the superior economics versus conventional salmon this is because they enable 70 percent more harvest output whilst using 25 percent less feed so ultimately they're able to get the product in a much more bigger way and also reduce their operating costs in terms of of producing that product. So there is a lot of benefits there in terms of what they're producing because if they're producing more of it at a cheaper price that is only going to seek to improve profitability. Okay and profitability is the key word there if they're able to scale this up and offer salmon that's a more profitable price this is going to get the attention of potential suppliers buyers of their product on a global level because if they can increase their margins in terms of what they buy and sell for increase their profit margins because the operating costs is much less in terms of and the production and the manufacturing cost is much less okay there is there is there is a huge amount of profitability involved there okay so it offers us so process validation for the successful harvest of a conventional salmon in Q2 2020 okay so they're looking at successful harvest is which will obviously improve the stock levels and the profitability complete significant development on a farm 3 so 10 000 metric tonne commercial scale farm so they're they've got expansion plans that they're trying to expand upon what they're currently doing by the way it says the share price $2.98 this is the recent investment and powerpoint that's that's available but it's not actually at $2.98 so much higher than that we'll go into that compared to where it was in august september time uh competed uh completed significant development okay competitive more creating created by the regulatory framework giving the success significant lead on anyone planning to come to the market with genetically engineered salmon very important there because if they're able to give themselves a competitive lead ultimately that gives them a competitive advantage over anybody else who tries to enter the marketplace that creates a barrier to entry and if they've got that barrier to entry then that means that there's going to be less competition and then they can increase their profit margins very very important industry industry leading management team that brings significant food service supply and production experience with a robust biotechnology and aquaculture background so they've got a big amount of background in terms of they've got people with experience involved in the company which is really important within this particular industry you need people to understand the research that understand what needs to be done on a business level on a scientific level on a biotechnology level so there has got to be a good amount of leadership involved in this for it to be effective okay now let's go some other to a recent information okay so just just here there is a leadership team here and as you can see from this i won't go through it all as you can read it in your own time here but you'll notice here what really kind of strikes out here is there is a very experienced leadership team i mean we've got people with phd's we've got business individuals we've got you know a range of people here that are involved in the leadership team here this is a serious company they are trying to go places here and so we've got a reputation as a proven leader in terms of this CEO we've got sylvia reputation as a proven leader accomplished executive drive driving both growth and improved performance her diverse career encompasses executive level positions in general management sales marketing and ma in a variety of industries so she's involved in a lot of business industries and a lot of so is it kind of you've got the business mind there and you've got mark walton down here phd chief technical of technology officer so he has expertise in genetics and regulatory affairs so he's involved in a lot of the regulation side of things which is really important for the type of industry this is trying to develop in okay so and you've got that many of these other leadership team members that are also very very very very experienced and they've picked a leadership team which is very specific so obviously what the product is and what they're trying to do so they've got the match the expertise with the business which is good to see and obviously a strong leadership team that's good in terms of building a strategic direction and building growth now we'll go into some positives and negatives of this company because i don't just want to be a person that's hyping up a stock i don't want to be like it's off another youtuber that's hyping i want to be fair i want to say that you know there is something concerns that we've got okay and we'll get into that in a moment um but um one thing here that's enough is that in august 2020 at this this particular is from here and and the building more um fat harvest farms here so they're looking at actually building another harvest farm here that's in in in the works of getting built which you know if they're basically the point is if they're expanding this these these farms the more they can produce and the more they can produce the more they can sell the more they can sell the more profitability there is and you do have the element of economies of scale as well and as long as they're putting money into research and development and you know following regulatory guidelines and all the other areas then this company can grow massively over the next few years or you know this can be a short-term swing trade play but it also can be a long-term play we'll get that into that as well so just some of the positives here and there is more positives than this but let's just go through some of the main ones so there is a growing market potential because with it being a growing population as well so in terms of salmon you know we need food that's more affordable and this is a solution that's trying to get food that's more affordable you can agree or disagree i'm not a massive fan of gmo personally massively i'm not like a fan like you know but um but you know they're trying to meet the needs of society in trying to get more affordability for people and in a world where you know the economy is not going to be fantastic for the next two or three years let's just put it that way it's just not going to be fantastic you know affordability is really important and and they're trying to provide a solution for that okay so there's growing market potential it's also a consumable product you know a product that you would have again and again potentially so so with that growing population it's a food products are consumable so there is a potential for re-care and revenue obviously uh six systems and processes are in place okay so they've put the systems and processes in actually producing what the what what it is that they're trying to sell in place so they've got a business they've got the systems in place it's not about them just pumping loads of money into technology research and development in the hopes that something happens they've actually got something in place which is really important um there's profitability um let's say if they reducing their cost with creating the product um there but also at the same time um getting more of that product because of of the way that they're doing it that is going to increase profitability and the other point is I can invest are heavily invested it in them okay so they see the potential in this particular stock and they've been buying it um again on plenty of occasions by the way if you're enjoying this video if you find it helpful in any sort of way please leave the video a thumbs up because I'm new to stock market videos I really appreciate it because it helps it out in the youtube algorithm gets it up on the youtube search list and you know what that's the only way most people are going to find me because I don't have a huge amount of subscribers so any sort of help that you can offer is really much appreciated now here's some positives okay but again I don't just want to hype up the stock I want to I want to be a bit different in the way I do things here on youtube and I do want to maybe plant some concerns in your mind before you potentially go gung her into into this investment here so just some some and they're not negatives in the sense that the I hate using the word negative um they are just simply concerns okay now there is going to need to be a strong monitoring of the brand reputation so what do I mean by that well you know it's a gmo product and they're going to need to monitor monitor their reputation on this they're going to need to maintain a strong positive reputation okay for the product um so so this needs a lot of monitoring it needs a lot of sensitivity because of the area that it's in that's that's just basically it you know with some sort of bad news story came out about it this could be a be a bloodbath of red uh on the stock market so this need this needs a lot of monitoring though in the brand reputation I hope they've got good kind of brand reputation crisis management involved there in terms of the marketing um just in case and then there's regulation okay so there's a lot of regulation that might be involved in this particular area but as you see from the leadership team they have got people involved that are actually kind of working along those particular lines um but there is regulation there and laws that are involved that could impact the brand at any point um if possibly okay so so we've got to bear that in mind we've got to we've got to bear that in mind and also it's volatile you know the stock is a bit all over the place so it's a bit of volatility to the stock there um you know we don't know where it's settling at we don't know if it's going to shoot up even further so a tiny bit of volatility there um so the stock price where is it at now well you notice from the graph here the stock is completely shot up here um you know sort of missed a bit on it pardon pardon the fun pardon the fun with it being a salmon product that but you know it's shot up mild a lot okay so it's eight dollars and six cent so it's up 27 percent I believe it's on the day 27 on the day which is ridiculous okay but um there this is shot right up over the past sort of week two weeks okay so so with that in mind what you have to think about is okay do you get on the get on this right now or do you kind of assess the stock and think about it first so what what I'm doing is I do want I am considering getting into this stock um okay you know from the research I've done it seems impressive I'm not a fan of the kind of GMO area necessarily um but I see the potential here I see that the the investment potential here okay but what I would I would look at doing is see if there's a little bit of a pullback and then jump in see if we can get a pullback to seven maybe if we can uh and then see if it settles or consolidates anywhere around there okay it was consolidated before it's sort of this four sort of 450 level so it's shut up to to eight so maybe it'll consolidate again six or seven or it'll shoot up even favor from eight because our investor invested in it is getting a lot of attention recently so it is just two ways to play it you kind of get it now uh or just just if you want to play a bit more safer then just see if it dips a little bit and then get in which I think is what I'm going to try and do um but you know I may miss the but we may not see it at this sort of six five levels again okay so so it's up to you but hopefully you've enjoyed the video if I've given you any you know any helpful information at all if you found this video helpful in any way even if it's just a little bit then please please give the video thumbs up as a small channel it really helps out again I'm not a financial advisor okay uh do your own research I teach business but that doesn't necessarily mean that I'm an expert in the stock market at all um I'm far from it um to be honest okay so do your own research on this I'm just showing you my journey my research and my sort of analysis on the stocks um so so don't take my word as as as as concrete here so but hopefully this gives you another perspective to look at and again I really appreciate if you support the channel out in any any way possible really whether it's sharing the video with with a friend um or or liking or subscribe whatever it is just uh any sort of support really helps out so thank you and hopefully I'll see you in the next video


Welcome to the kitchen life. The kitchen life is all about simple recipes, surefire techniques and passionate cooking. Today I've got a couple very special guests with me as we cook with grapes. We've got a savory recipe and a sweet recipe. My daughter Grace and my daughter Blake, girls say hi. So we're going to be working together. Now listen, we're here at our farm and the snow actually flew one more time. So it's such a good time to talk about fresh ingredients, fresh ingredients that are delicious to eat fresh, but you can also cook and bake with them. The first thing that I have to show you, and this is so that we don't lose any of your attention is this beautiful, look at this, so this is a pound cake. Now we finished one this morning, but what I want to show you is this is full of grapes. Now we've got both the crimson seedless and the Thompson seedless grapes and girls we're going to dress this with a little bit of powdered sugar. So let's get a quick look at this and this, this is such a nice way to finish this. So it's not nice, it's easy, so it's sweet enough, but that little bit of sugar will just dress it up nice. Do you want to try it? Okay, go ahead. So the great thing about being in the kitchen with your kids is you can really smack it. Go ahead. There you go. Make it rain, there you go, is you get a chance to do recipes that they'll enjoy today, but in all likelihood these girls will probably be making these recipes for years to come. Now don't think that I don't have work for you, we've got eggs to crack and we've got all kinds of great recipes, so you can see that's the first. So this is our ricotta pound cake with fresh grapes and we can hardly wait to show you how that comes together, just tuck that up there right now. And the other recipe that we're going to make is a cast iron chicken with muscat grapes. Now this time of year, and I'm going to ask my son Dakota to give us a great shot of what it looks like outside right now. Right now things are frozen. So if you have a look outside you'll see, and I'm just going to get this door, things are frozen. Things like this just about everywhere here in Canada and this kind of weather always makes me think about spring time and summer time. The thing about grapes from Chile is that because they're from the southern hemisphere, you know as a professional chef we always eat local. But this time of year we've got to go to the southern hemisphere to get good ingredients like this, so Chilean grapes are just a ticket. Let's get started with this savory recipe. So I don't know if any of you at home or wherever you're watching this have thought about using grapes and savory recipes, but this recipe today is going to take a few simple ingredients. We've got some beautiful chicken. So we've got chicken, breast and thighs. I'm mixing the two and they're both bone in so that there's a ton of flavor. So when you cook with the bones, when there's bones in the chicken, there's more flavor. So the first thing we have to do though is preheat the pan. And because I'm going to roast, I want a pan that will allow the heat to get to those grapes once I do put them in. Now grapes have a lot of sugar content. So when I begin this dish you'll see that I'm going to start by making sure to get the chicken roasted before I put the grapes in because I don't want them to burn. So I have turned that on medium high and I'm going to use this opportunity to ask everybody out there. The reason we love to go live here from the farm is that we want to be able to answer any of your questions. So as a professional chef, there's all kinds of techniques and tricks and different things that we like to do to show you how to make things in your kitchen easier. So let's do a little bit of we're going to need a few grapes. So I'm going to start you girls off with some grapes here. So these are crimson seedless. And then these so the green here are Thompson and these are crimson crimson red and the Thompson are green. So if you can just start by pulling those off and just put them right here on the board. Okay. And do it fast. Put them in the bowls. There you go. So as they're working away on that, one of the things to keep in mind with grapes is that they are extremely nutritious. So as a snack in the kitchen, one cup about the size of this bowl contains about 8% of the daily amount of fiber you need, about 9% of the daily amount of potassium.  So this is a great snack. It's easy to harvest. You can see. They're my favorite. They're your favorite. So one of the questions though that I did have and this was a question leading up to this broadcast was about that powdery substance that's on the outside of the grapes. That's known as the balloon. This is something that's present with plums, with blueberries. And what you'll find is that on the surface of the grape actually has a very important role.  Oh my goodness.  That is designed to protect them. So don't wash that off when you first get it home from the market or grocery store. Make sure to wait until, just before you eat them, that'll keep them, preserve them. And one of the things I want to show you here, and we'll get a close up of that, you can see how nice and bright, that's a really nice bright green. So that tells me one thing, that's a good fresh grape. The other thing is, those grapes weren't really falling off were they? You had to pull them off, right? So when you're choosing grapes, what you want is to make sure that they're attached to the vine, they're falling off, there's a good chance they're a little bit aged, so you want the best product in your home. The last thing is, when you are using grapes, you can store them in the refrigerator for about five days. So I know they never last that long around here. But grapes are, will store for a long time and they are extremely nutritious. So I'm just going to reach over here. I feel that my pan has come up to temperature. I'm going to start with a little bit of butter and a little bit of olive oil. And I'm doing that for flavor, so I'm going to take a tablespoon of butter. And I'll actually, you know what else, let's make sure everyone can see this. I'll just put it here. When I put this in, just make sure to, that you don't get, that's piping hot. So I'm going to put the butter in. So immediately, tell me what you smell. Don't touch it. Can you smell that? So it immediately begins to develop some real fragrance. I'm just going to coat the bottom of the pan. I don't want any of the chicken. It smells good, doesn't it? So and then the other thing is, you see it's bubbling right now and melting. But then I'm going to add just a little, this is an oil called Camelina oil. Now you could use olive oil, Camelina oil, okay, good, she's paying attention. So Camelina oil in and now this is ready. The reason I add that Camelina oil or olive oil is I want to raise that smoke point a little bit. So if I just, can you smell that Camelina oil now? Immediately comes to life. If I just saute with butter, a good chance it's going to burn. So I'm going to put this back on the stove. Always start with a good hot pan, always. Otherwise, rather than getting a really nice sear, you'll end up essentially boiling instead of, I'm just going to grab a little bit of salt here. And so this is just, I'm just going to put a little bit at my hand. This is a fine sea salt, but just season the outside.  I don't know, you might be selling a little too hard. If you can smell salt, I'll be surprised. You have to, she takes, after her dad, sorry. So you have with the chicken, if it is coming out of the freezer, make sure it's fully thawed before you come to this point. And then the other thing is pat it dry. And the reason that you pat it dry is you don't want any, like it'll just, the salt will drain off and it won't be good. So I'm going to gently put this into the pan. Just before I do, let's have a look at this, at this beautiful fresh thyme. So fresh thyme, I want you to smell that. Just smell that. It smells really good. Smell good? Do you like it? Yeah. You're not just saying that. You like it? Yeah. Smells good. Yeah. So thyme and chicken, they're very happy together. They're in a good relationship. Yeah. Like if they were like, it was social media, they would friend each other. So I'm going to put this over in the pan. And then I, so what it's going to do is it's going to flavor the oil. And I'm going to get some of this chicken in. So girls, why am I using chicken with the bone? It makes more flavor. That's right. That's very good. You're paying attention. And I also don't want to crowd the pan. And you know, when I hear that sound, I know first of all that the chicken, it's going to get nicely seared. And I don't want to overcrowd the pan.  I'm just going to turn this pan on. There we go. So with that chicken on, I'm just going to season the second side. So people have a lot of questions about seasoning. Now this chicken has bone in, excuse me, just for a second, this chicken has bone in. So with bone in, you're going to get a ton more flavor, but it's going to take a little longer to cook as well. So seasoning on, more salt. Now you might want to be inclined, if you don't read the whole recipe, you'll think, well, I'll toss the grapes in now. But this is a time where you just want to work on just the chicken. We're just going to flavor that chicken. Now while this cooks, girls, we're going to get started on this beautiful pound cake. So a few simple ingredients. Now one of the things I want you to learn, and girls, I'm going to teach you right now, is you want to make sure to incorporate dry ingredients first. So I have a cup and three quarters. Do you want to put this in? You can pour that in there. Go ahead. And this is all-purpose flour, perfect. And then what I have to do is I've got to put in about a teaspoon and a half, and you can do this, Blaker. And this is baking powder. Now baking powder, go ahead and put that in. Good. So that's one teaspoon, and then I need a half teaspoon. The reason that we put dry ingredients and wet ingredients together separately in this case, or always in baking, is because we want to make sure that that baking powder. So what that baking powder does is it makes the cake rise evenly. So if you want a nice even cake, you need to make sure to do that evenly. What's that, huh? So a little bit of salt, now do you think salt is important when you're making a cake? It is, and that's because it adds, you need a little bit of seasoning for salt as well. So let me know, as you're watching, if you have any questions, we have people monitoring the social channels. Now I'm using a whisk to bring this together. The whisk breaks up all the dry ingredients evenly and allows me to get it incorporated thoroughly. So you see that? So that's all incorporated. Now I'm going to take and set that aside, and now it's time for some of the fun part. So I've got beautiful ricotta cheese, have a look at that, that gorgeous ricotta cheese, I love that. Now you could use some sour cream in this recipe, you could even use cottage cheese, but there's a really pleasant texture and a beautiful rich flavor that goes with ricotta. You can smell it. I know it smells great. I'm going to check it. We're starting to brown up nicely. Now you might not know this, but one of the great things about the chicken's butter in there and the oil in there, but chicken with that, it tastes pretty good. So although we're going to spoon off the extra, there's going to be a ton of flavor in there. So let's put this in, so ricotta will go in. So I've got a stand mixer, you could do this just in a mixing bowl at home if you don't have a stand mixer, or you could use an electric mixer as well. But you know, with the right tools, it makes every job easier. So ricotta in, and then what I've got here is just white granular sugar. Do you want to pour that one in? That one can be yours to pour in, and it goes? Perfect. It seems like a lot, but you know, that's a pretty big cake. So if you divide that cake, let's say by 12 people, it's actually not too, too much. But thanks for being the voice of health and reason in this recipe.  Smell that. Oh, I know, I know, I know. What? What's this? Vanilla. Vanilla. Vanilla. So vanilla is, do you know what vanilla comes from? The vanilla bean? It's actually from a flower. Yeah, I was thinking of that, a flower. It's a flower. An orchid. So I'm going to pour just a little bit in, okay, smells great. And then we're going to put in, what I've got here is I've got one cup of butter. Now I just melted that butter, and I'm just going to pour that in. So the butter gives it richness, gives it flavor.  Does that smell good? Okay. Now, we'll start this, and it's really important, let's get a bit of a close up here, I don't know if you can get in there, Dakota, but as I start this, Blake, I just want you to turn that to one, just turn it one click. We'll just start, so whenever you start with a stand mixer, start slowly, and then work your way up, slowly but surely, and we'll get, I'm just going to tip this so you can see what that looks like in there a little bit. You got a good view there, nice. So as I increase that temperature or that speed, it's going to bring it together, and then I'm going to just let that literally whip on maybe medium-high for about a minute here. It's going to add some air to that. It's going to mix it together nicely, and it's going to improve the texture. I'm going to check our chicken again. So look at that, we're starting to get some color. You're going to show that. We're starting to get a little bit of color over there. Nice, but I'm not going to rush this. This is a time, what will happen when we put the grapes in and we deglaze with this nice maple wine we have, is that all of the flavor development right now will become part of a very simple pan sauce. So every time we make a meat, so back way back when dad went to school, to culinary school, and one of the most important things that you can do whenever you're making a meat is not to lose any of the flavor that you've developed. And the way you do that is with a simple pan sauce. The great thing about these roasted grapes is they're going to be the base for this pan sauce, and we have a question here, yes. So it's a great question Alicia, what other ways can you use savory grapes? So grapes love pork. They love chicken. They love fish. As a matter of fact, the roots, if you think about any wine, any area of the world that is strong in wine, you'll see grapes in their dishes, classic dishes, hundreds of years old. In particular, new grapes to chili, a muscat grape, slightly smaller, bolder in flavor, but you can use them just about in anything. The only thing really I don't ever use them in is dishes with beef, but that's not to say that it wouldn't be good, but I'm telling you, fish, chicken, I've done it with lamb. Anything that lends itself to a certain sweetness will love grapes. How's that look? Good. It turned that up a little bit, looks nice. Yeah, it looks like cookie dough. It does look like cookie dough. So now what we have is, I'm just going to move that to the back. So now all those wet ingredients went in, right? So now what I'm going to do is I'm going to put the, you got it. You got it. You're paying attention. That's awesome. So I'm just going to put this in. And then one of the things you want to make sure to do, so if I turn this on high right now, you're going to end up wearing this. It's going to be a disaster. So we're going to turn it on low and bring it together. There we go. So we're going to turn it on low and slowly bring it up. Now here comes the fun part. You both like cracking eggs, right? Yeah. Yeah. Okay, good. So we've got some beautiful farm fresh eggs here. Do you already take your bowls? Oh no, I use them for the grapes. I'm not paying attention. Okay. The grapes, they smell so good. So beautiful. And the color is so beautiful. Okay. So you get these cracking eggs and I get the cracking eggs. So farm fresh eggs, if you ever have the opportunity, another thing, don't wash them until you use them. We've just watched these today.  How are you making out there? Good. Good. You just dropped the shell in there. How are you doing? Good? Yeah. Got it? Well done. You need a cloth? Yeah. Okay. There you go. I'm going to turn this on high now. It's almost completely incorporated. And this is a good time to, once again, develop. I love it. This looks good though, right? Yeah. If you'll notice, I left the eggs until right at the end. There we go. And what I'm going to do is I'm going to add one egg at a time. Now the reason that I do that is if I add all the eggs at once, it'll kind of separate and won't come together nicely. So a quick crack on the countertop, egg goes in, and I turn that one on. You'll notice that our batter here today is much more golden in its color because, quite simply because we're using these farm fresh eggs, and they're a little richer in color. So that's one incorporated. Now I turn the mixer off and pour another one in. I think that's your egg. So girls, what do you like most about grapes? Because I know you love eating them. They're super good. And it's nice to know they're healthy for you. They're sweet. Now have you ever cooked with them before? No. So it's your first time? Yeah. So I have used grapes quite often. Sometimes when I'm looking to add to a fresh berry mixture, you might think that, for example, many of the upside down style cakes where you have berries on the bottom, grapes are a perfect addition there. So what you can do is you can actually take a current favorite recipe that you have and just supplement grapes in place of other berry fruits. Other egg. Other egg. So I'm going to put that in. Looking good. So again we're going to turn that on, get it incorporated. Now that really looks like a cake mix. So whip that up. Now I'm going to take some of these grapes and simply slice them in half. And I'm going to leave some whole as well. And that's just for a difference in texture and a difference in appearance. That's looking pretty good.  You've got to wipe off the stuff.  Great. We'll turn that back on. I'm going to check the chicken. It's looking good already. I'm just going to turn this over. I'm going to bring it over to show you. It can actually use a bit more time. That skin is coming up nicely. Now the nice thing about this chicken is while it started on the stove top, I'm going to finish it in the oven. And there's a couple reasons for doing that. It'll cook a little more evenly in the oven. I want to get that hot air in the oven around all of those ingredients and also it makes it really simple. You'll notice here today that these recipes and all of these recipes are available at Produce Made Simple. All of these recipes are very easy. Using ingredients that you probably already have at home, maybe one or two things that you may need. Girls, do you have any questions about these recipes today? Anything you can think? It's pretty simple, right? They are pretty, aren't they? When you slice them open, they're pretty. That's the thing about cooking is that you really want to be able to enjoy what it looks like as well. Listen, we're going to take a minute and I just want to take a quick break because I think for you to fully appreciate this beautiful fruit and where it's grown this time of year, I want to show you a little bit of chili. So let's have a quick look at this beautiful country. There are beautiful vineyards and what's going on. Have a look at those pictures over there, girls. You see them coming up there? Look at that beautiful landscape. Stunning landscape. Isn't that beautiful? That is amazing. So you can see there. Is the garden going to be like that? It's going to be like that. It's not going to be quite that big, but it's going to be that beautiful. So you can see there's different varieties of grapes. There's the Thompson seedless we're using right here. Can you see that beautiful grape? So also let's have a look at the ProduceMadeSimple website. I want to show you, this is one of the best websites for recipes I've ever seen. It is so functional, easy to use. The search engine is very powerful, allows you to get to the fruit that you want, allows you to see the things and the ingredients in a very simple way. And now for many of these recipes, there's videos to support them so we can show you how to use it in our recipe, but then how you can incorporate it into your very own recipe. Remember, that's ProduceMadeSimple. So that's beautiful. Chicken's coming along nicely. So now it's time. I've got about half of these grapes sliced in half, and the other half I'm leaving whole. And like you said, Blake, it's very pretty. So you can use any kind of grape. It's very sweet. It's very sweet. You want to make sure that it's a seedless variety, otherwise when you bake this up, it'd be full of seeds and a little bit unpleasant. So let's go to our mix now. So this is our beautiful pound cake mix, and you set that aside. And then these simply go in. So I want to get, I'm going to, the code I'm going to put this so that you can, you can kind of see this. I want you to see how beautiful these are, and to put them in. And then what we're going to do, they're rolling away. That's another good reason to slice them in half.  Grapes in, I've got a couple cups of grapes, you want dots there, I think we've got them all in now. And then what's really important, and the nice thing about grapes, unlike some other berry fruits, is they can really stand up to being folded into this recipe. So this is something, they're not going to lose their color into the batter. They won't crush up too badly. But you can see I want to mix those nice and evenly inside that so that I can get them into the oven and ready to bake. So now let's prepare our pan. Now you can use a typical, like a traditional loaf pan. You can use a fluted pan, whatever you like. The most important thing is just, it's important to season the pan. Now I'm using some of the cooking sprays that are available now in the market are very good. There's coconut and canola. This one in particular is canola, but have a look at the amount I put on there. Make sure that you put plenty on. Any of the extra will be left in the pan, so don't worry about that. But make sure that it's got a complete coating. If you don't have spray, what I want you to do is melt a little bit of butter, brush it over the entire pan, and then put some flour in there, gently knocking it around to have a light coating of that flour over all the butter. So look at this, girls. Tell me this doesn't look beautiful. Now Blake, what you can do is just spin that pan around for your dad. There we go. Okay, yep, that's good. Hold there. Okay, stop for a second. Man, it's tough keeping up to you, okay?  Okay, you can leave that for a second. And so let's just get the rest of this beautiful batter. So it didn't take us that long to make this, it didn't take that many ingredients. You remember what we used? So we used grapes, that's right, butter, flour, and a little bit of sugar. You got it. So any time you can make a delicious recipe like this, we'll just spin this a little bit. You don't have to worry about this being uneven as it cooks, it's going to settle nicely. But what I generally do is I just give it a little push like this, just in case there's any little air pockets. And it just makes sure that it is just, perfecto, what do you think? Is that beautiful? Let's have a look at that. Is that beautiful or what? Do you like it? Yeah. Okay. So I'm going to take and set that aside. I'm going to bring it up now. I don't want you to get burned, but I'm going to bring this up. And I want to talk a little bit about this chicken dish. So be careful because I don't want you to get splattered. So what I've got in the bottom of this pan is some really, really good flavor development. Now you can smell the thyme. This thyme I'm just going to remove. So it's really used its value. This flavored the oil and the butter. But what I'm going to do now is when the grapes go in, I'm going to put some more fresh thyme in. And you know the way that I'm going to do this. I'm going to take this. Look at this, beautiful. Like, are you kidding me? Like, what's available to us in terms of the quality is absolutely spectacular. I think I better save that one. I'm going to go to this one. And I'm literally going to take, it will just snip off a little piece. And actually, I'm going to use the scissors to draw. You can try those. Have some. I made you not touch them all morning. So I'm literally going to lay that in there. Good it. There you go. And then I've got some green grapes here. We're going to put some of the green in. It's nice to use both colors. I'm going to put them in whole like this because that is going to roast just to perfection. And I want lots of grapes and I'm going to leave them on the vine. The reason I'm going to leave them on the vine is that when it comes time to serve this dish I want to be able to actually put some on the vine out to my guests and let me tell you something. Guests are going to be impressed by this dish. Impressed because maybe they've not used grapes in this fashion before. If they've never eaten grapes in a savory way, this will be a great introduction for them. You've done this for me before, stripped off the thyme. So we're going to strip off a little bit of this fresh thyme. Go ahead and put it in, Grace. And so we're going to strip off a little bit of the fresh leaves and then we're going to put some more bunches in. We want lots of thyme, beautiful. So there's going to be lots of, and we're going to tuck in some of this fresh thyme in and around. And this now, now I've got the oven, the oven is preheated to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. So if you want to get that oven open for me, I'm going to pop these in all the way open. Thank you. So that looks just beautiful. Okay. So we've got an incredible savory dish. We've got a beautiful, a beautiful sweet dish. Now let's have a look at this, slice this. I think it's probably a good idea for us to try this, what do you think? There's nothing better than eating when it comes to cake. Now you've got to be careful, because I've got to take some nice pictures of this. But let's have a look at the consistency, girls, my goodness. It's so beautiful. So let's have a look at that cross-section, oh my gosh. And that is the hallmark of a really beautiful pound cake. You see that dense dough in that beautiful flower, or the beautiful grapes, thank you. Let's literally, we've got to try a little slices. I think what we need is a little bit of milk with this, but let's give it a shot. Okay, go for it. Grab a piece, I'm going to try a piece too, we have to try it. If you need a pound cake recipe, this is the perfect pound cake. So the grapes, now let's talk a little bit about what the grapes taste like. So there you have a grape, if you haven't used grapes before, talk about what the grapes taste like when they're roasted. It's like a super concentration of sweetness. I want to show you something here. Just taste this, I'm going to fish one of these out. Just taste just that grape and tell me about that flavor. There you go, try that. My gosh. That's more intense, more sweet than the fresh. That is so sweet. It's because what's happened is it's concentrated the flavors. So this is a great thing that you need to take away from this broadcast today, is that when you bake with grapes, you're using a pass. Literally, this is like a fruit with superpowers. This is a fruit that you can bake with, that you can use savory, but you can use. And the nice thing about them is by volume, when you look at how many grapes that you get on a vine, how easy they are to harvest, how beautiful they are in color, the fact that they're nutritious and readily available. This is the best time of year to enjoy grapes, winter time. And let me tell you something, it has been a pleasure to share this with you today. Now listen, I want to tell you to go over to the Produce Made Simple website. That's where you're going to find the finished pictures of this. As soon as we're done this broadcast, we're going to have beautiful chicken. Yeah, go ahead, eat it. It's good, eh? Here, you want a little bit more? Oh, question. Okay, yes, any question? Oh, yes. Great question, Anne, thank you. So what can be done with grapes if you're not going to use them? My favorite thing to do is to freeze them. And there's no special thing that you need to do. I literally just wash the grapes, I dry them off and put them in a bag, and then I'll put them in the freezer. And I'll tell you something, with spring and summer time coming up, cold drinks, whether it be a lemonade or iced tea or anything out on the patio, what you can do is you can use those grapes as ice cubes. They won't change the flavor of your drink. But what they will do when you're finished? Yeah, what they will do is at the end of that beautiful drink, instead of just having ice cubes, you'll get to pop a few of those fresh berries. It's a great way to save fresh berries that you might not use. And on that point, when you are storing them in the refrigerator, don't store them in an airtight bin. Store them in ideally what they're shipped in, whether it's a bag or however it's shipped. It will be perforated so that some air can get to it. Store it that way for four to five days. Don't wash it until you're ready to eat it. And by all means, bake with it, cook savory dishes with it, and enjoy it with your family. So for Grace, thank you for joining me today, and Blake, and for myself. I want to thank you for joining us today for this episode of The Kitchen Life. Go over to Produce Made Simple to check out that website. We'll have all the information in this particular post and go over and give them a follow. They've got all kinds of incredible recipes and ingredients that you're going to want to see day in and day out on Instagram and on Twitter and on Facebook. Thank you for joining us. And for Grace and Blake, let's say goodbye. Bye. Bye. Thanks for joining us. Good afternoon. Good afternoon.


Hello Columbia. I am First Lady DeAndre Benjamin and I am here today to talk about the 9th annual Easter extravaganza hosted by Mayor Benjamin and family. Columbia is a let's move city, so we plan on moving. We have an egg extravaganza. We'll have bounce houses. We'll have face painting, different activities for the kids to move, jump around and have a great time. We try to change the location. Every year this year it is at the Robert Mills House, 1616 Blanding Street. In the past years we've had it at the baseball stadium and we've always had a huge turnout. Children these days include in mind use cell phones and video games and we want to talk about getting out, having some good old fashioned fun and exercising and being healthy. Every year we have James Patrick doing Zumba and he is quite hilarious and the kids have a good time and they get out there and dance and exercise and sometimes the parents get out there and dance and exercise so that might be my favorite part. Come on out we'll have a great time. There are lots of families from all over the city. It is a wonderful celebration that we have around Easter every year. Thank you for joining us. The event again is on Saturday April 20th at the historic Robert Mills House at 1616 Blanding Street. For more information please contact the City of Columbia, Kim Mitchell or the City of Columbia.


So with that, I'd like to introduce the next speaker. William Pickett, let me get to the right page here, is a senior hardware engineer and range master at the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Mesa Antenna Range. He has worked for JPL as an employee and contractor for the past 40 years. Prior to JPL, Bill worked for North American Aviation Rockwell on the Apollo program. Other work experience includes autonetics, Hughes Ground Systems Group, IBM, GE, Martin Marietta, and Lockheed Martin. He attended Fullerton College and California State College and Fullerton's electrical engineering program. He is a member of the Antenna Measurement Techniques Association and an active member of his ward and stake in Pasadena. Bill is a California and Los Angeles County native and enjoys genealogy and live steam locomotives. He retired once and looks forward to retiring again. So today, Bill is going to present a paper upon which I'm also a co-author on this one. And the paper represents a perspective that in addition to the benefits in science and education, a healthy space program may also have significance from a theological point of view. And in fact, may be the result of divine inspiration. So without further ado, then I'll let Bill go ahead and take over. We need to set his computer up real quick. One of the other things I'd like to do since I'm last speaker is I'd personally like to thank the Claremont School of Religion and the LDS Council on Mormon Studies for hosting this conference. This is kind of a unique experience. One of the things I have to do is, as a JPL NASA employee, I need to give a disclaimer that none of these views are theirs. If they want views on this subject, they can get their own. First of all, what I'd like to do would be to take a look at the secular reasons for a space program. See, do we go the right way here? Yeah. NASA, it turns out, is the only government agency that produces physical products that end up in the public domain. NASA is the only governmental agency that makes money for the government through the creation of jobs, business, and developed products. So what kind of products are we talking about? Well, it turns out there's about 1,800 of them that have been showcased in an annual publication by NASA called Spinoff since 1972. This happens to be for 2006. So there's quite a lot.  Well, everything I've just said, as you can imagine, is a space spin-off, everything, all of it. NASA has a definition of a spin-off. It's a technology that has been commercialized through NASA funding, research, licensing, facilities, or assistance. And we're kind of limited in time, so I'd like to look at a few of the other spin-offs. It's more than just Tang satellites, computers, LEDs, and space blankets. One of them is possibly monitoring volcanoes in Russia or wildfires in California. The remote sensing technology that has been developed has improved agricultural production in the Midwest and elsewhere in the world. Similar technology is now being used for resource management and disaster analysis. Other spin-offs are the first digital maps of the entire world. You'll also note up there, I don't think you can read it, it's the ocean studies that basically tell us more about the ocean than we ever knew before. And there's a lot of dynamics there that they're still trying to figure out what's happening. Also the monitoring of the ozone hole and trying to figure out what that means. And other climate studies. Much of the technology that led to smaller computers like the ones we're using here were derived from NASA's need to save weight on space missions. Consideration of possible habitats conducive to life elsewhere in the solar system and the universe has led to the discovery of life in extreme terrestrial environments. And I'd like to take a moment to talk a little bit about the spacecraft that was alluded to this morning that was launched last night just prior to this meeting, Kepler. Kepler is the world's first mission with the ability to find true Earth analogs. By the end of Kepler's three and a half to six year mission, it will give us a good idea of how common or how rare Earths are in our Milky Way galaxy. For you techno people out there, it also has the largest camera ever launched at 95 million pixels. I had a little more room before. We don't want him yet. It's been conservatively estimated by US space and financial experts that for every dollar the US spends on R&D and the space program, it receives back seven in the form of new corporate and personal income taxes from increased jobs and economic growth. I was going to mention, but I don't see him here for the CPA that was here. That's an ROI of 7 to 1, but he's not here. Thousands more jobs are created by the companies applying NASA technology in non-space related areas that affect us daily. So space technology benefits everyone. Some years ago, we did an experiment up there at work beaming microwave energy to a flying electric airplane to keep it flying. And that was used to charge its batteries. In 2008, another test was run. Beaming microwave power in Hawaii proving the feasibility of wireless power transmission. There's a science fiction story written by Robert Heinlein called The Moon is a Harsh Mistress. He's one of my favorites. That foresees a future scenario where lunar colonies specialize in mining and hydroponic gardening and then export products back to the earth via a catapult or a mass driver. Their energy came from solar panel collectors on the surface. Now, while we don't yet know the quantity of usable minerals that are on the moon, we do know that there is powdered iron, aluminum, and titanium, but not in quantities that are found on the asteroids. We already know that mining a one kilometer diameter asteroid could yield about one and a quarter trillion dollars in iron, magnesium, nickel, aluminum, cobalt, titanium, and platinum. And these can all be used in space-based manufacturing. And we do know there's plenty of asteroids out there. Another reason to develop space is for the earth's protection. Many scientists believe that 65 million years ago, an asteroid several kilometers wide hit the earth in Mexico and caused an extinction level event, or ELE. And ELE is one where environmental conditions become so inhospitable to some species that they die off. This may have been the one that wiped out the dinosaurs. Though that meteor is controversial, the fact that asteroids and meteors regularly pass nearby and even impact the earth in surprising regularity is well known. The possibility of an ELE is alarming. The Near Earth Object Program, or NEOP, is surveying near-earth objects and recommending to world leaders ways in which we can deflect or destroy dangerous earth-crossing asteroids. Though no known impacts are imminent, several close calls like the one this past Monday morning and future earth impacts have been identified. It will be immensely worth our effort to develop space technologies and to find ways to live and work in space, not only via robotic tools, but also via direct human presence. The other note is the Shoemaker-Levy-Jupiter impact may be a warning that we can't afford to ignore. Now, moving on to spiritual thoughts and insights, we think that stronger argument for engaging in space R&D for members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints should, in fact, be a spiritual perspective. In our experience working at NASA, both Scott and I have witnessed engineers and scientists achieve what might normally have been considered impossible. We think the reason for this is simple, that the time has come to further our knowledge of the Lord's creations, to further the work of the salvation and exaltation of the entire human race, both individually and collectively. Brigham Young once said in 1870, quote, the construction of the electric telegraph and the method of using it, enabling people to send messages from one end of the earth to the other, is just as much a revelation from God as any ever given. The same is true with regard to making machinery or anything else. It makes no difference. These things have existed from all eternity and will continue to exist to all eternity. And the Lord has revealed them to his children, end quote. Russell M. Nelson explained in 1988, quote, God is inspiring the minds of great people to create inventions that further the work of the Lord in ways this world has never known, end quote. Another quotation, Joseph Fielding Smith said in 1926, what I believe is possibly the crux of this conference, it's my view, quote, I maintain that had there been no restoration of the gospel, no organization of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, there would have been no radio, there would have been no airplane, there would not have been the wonderful discoveries in medicine, chemistry, electricity, and many other things wherein the world has benefited by such discoveries. Under such conditions, these blessings would have been withheld, for they belong to the dispensation of the fullness of times of which the restoration of the gospel and the organization of the Church constitute the central point from which radiates the spirit of the Lord throughout the world. The inspiration of the Lord has gone out, takes hold of the minds of men, though they know it not. They are directed by the Lord. And in this manner, brings them into his service that his purposes and his righteousness in due time may be supreme on the earth. I do not believe for one moment that these discoveries have come by chance, or that they have come because of superior intelligence possessed by men today over those who lived in ages that are past. They have come and are coming because the time is right, because the Lord has willed it, and because he has poured out his spirit on all flesh, end quote. We believe that the great outpouring of inspiration in regards to the space technology and development is for an as yet unspecified role in building up of the kingdom of God. It is the imagination that has to motivate the research. These things were once relegated to the realm of science fiction and are now becoming reality. We also find inspiration for advanced technologies in the scriptures. For instance, when we think of Joseph Smith's first vision, his description of the arrival of Mormon in his bedroom and on the hill Kamorra in a tube of light, we can speculate that the Lord has available to him a mode of transportation between two distant points that allows almost instantaneous travel as if the speed of light is no limitation. Science fiction uses similar contrivances, such as wormholes and personal transport systems, and the Lord has poured out these concepts for the purpose of sparking ideas in later generations. Joseph's description gives proof that such modes of transportation are possible and may be worth pursuing as a technology. Already, the concept of transversible wormholes, allowing for passage between two points in the universe without violating the speed of light, is being discussed in a scholarly way. Kip Thorne and others have shown mathematically that transversible wormholes may in fact be possible. The Holy Spirit sparks change in the way this knowledge is viewed in order to cause things to be invented and developed at the time that they are needed to further the work of the Lord. Joseph Fielding Smith wrote in 1858, the great universe of stars has multiplied beyond the comprehension of man. Evidently, each of these great systems is governed by divine law, for it would be unreasonable to assume that each was not so governed." This suggests that father's skills for organizing and creating may have begun in a similar engineered environment that we experience, and that should we persist in disciplining ourselves in the proper use of creative powers and organizing skills, we may also eventually achieve Godhood. As children of God, we are expected to shoulder the work of the Lord. We understand that the Lord's work is to bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of man. Neil A. Maxwell wrote, quote, we do not know how many inhabited worlds there are or where they are, but certainly we are not alone. In conclusion, we suspect that Heavenly Father, as an advanced engineer, interested in propagating his civilization may be pouring out his spirit on all who will listen for the purpose of establishing a foundation to prepare us with the necessary tools and technologies that will eventually lead to the creation and colonization of other worlds. We believe the LDS community and indeed all of humanity should consider this possibility in all seriousness. Also, the weight of public opinion on matters relating to space exploration may be influenced by those at this conference to our blessing or our condemnation. Thank you for your kind attention.
