I'm the layman, Trey Strickland, and he's scholar, Dr. Michael Heizer. Hey, Mike. How are you? Good. Good. We're glad to be here. We're on our way home on a jet plane back to America, USA. And that is and was a thrill. I am not. Nothing I'd rather do. Let me tell you, they do not make those airline seats to my specifications. I do not fit in those seats. Let me tell you, it's miserable. Yeah. Yeah. And there's everything over there. There's no other way to put it. It makes you appreciate America because everything over there is tiny and small. It's not made for us Nephilim that go over there. Sightseeing. Yeah. They just don't want to see you anymore. So, you know. I guess. They're hoping you'll come back and tell your kind. Just stay away. Just stay away. Yeah. Well, I'll tell you what, I'm going to, if you're going to keep things small and those airline seats small, I'm telling you, it was miserable, but long flight too. Yeah. Yeah. That's true. That's true. And nothing like your own pug. Let me just have that. Oh, yeah. Yeah. And what did y'all do? Who kept your pug? The kids? Did he survive? Yeah. Yeah. The kids and we had some of the older girls, you know, we flew daughter number two in to spend some time with the younger kids. I mean, we didn't have any problem with the two youngest being in the house by themselves. They're 18 and 16.  It's, it's, it's the dogs, you know, like, hey, let's not forget about them. Take care of them. Take them out. You know. Right.  Exactly. Right. That's, I don't know. That's true. It says something in there. I don't know what, but it says something. All right. All right. Well, let's get to these questions here, Mike. The first one is from a Mike, another Mike. I have a question about an observation that is right up the alley of Mike's expertise. So here we go. Is the quote already, but not yet pattern that seems to be relatively common. Just a matter of the basic Hebrew verbs being either perfect or imperfect. Obviously, completed actions are perfect, but the ones still in process are imperfect. We started, but not yet complete. The part of the process started becomes the already, while the final completion is the not yet. Is this just an example of a natural tension that will always exist to some degree when one translates between languages with different grammar and syntax? Well, I would say on the one hand, you can't express already, but not yet things either in Greek or whatever. Let's use Greek for our example, or of course English, translate them into English without using certain tenses, proclivities of the language. So there's a relationship between the grammar and naturally the ideas that are being expressed. You can't really do one without the other. I would say that we shouldn't go so far, though, as to say that the ideas themselves completely and only derive from the language proclivities or the language conventions, and not from some bigger sense of what's going on in the flow of not just history, but really in the flow of the plan of God on a metanarrative scale. So I would say that the two things, the grammar and the ideas, they're related, but they're not completely equivalent. That's how I would approach this. Let me try to think of a good illustration here. So what I'm trying to say is that the theological ideas come from what the grammar expresses, but you know, and so it's not like this English Greek struggle or disconnect, I mean the ideas are going to flow from the ideas are going to derive from what the grammar allows and what the grammar expresses. The grammar creates the categories or the ideas and it's left for us to discern what the pairing means. So you have semantic issues and you have grammatical issues. By way of example, something else other than eschatology might help illustrate this. How about sanctification? We have statements like in 1 Corinthians 6-11, you have been sanctified versus other statements in the letters of Paul that say, where he requests a hope or a wish, may you be sanctified in 1 Thessalonians 5-23? So on the one hand, he's looking at a bunch of believers and good grief, it's the Corinthians, okay? You can't get more kind of messy than that and he says, you have been sanctified and then he looks at another group and said, may you be sanctified? You also get this notion in Hebrews chapter 10 and if you look at Hebrews 10, 10 and verse 14 and frankly I think verse 14 is even a better example because you actually have both grammatical issues in the same verse there, but I'm going to read verses 10-14. Let's go back to verse 9, get a little context. This is again the conversation between the Father and the Son here about providing salvation. Then he added, behold, I have come to do your will, and the Son says to the Father. He does away with the first in order to establish the second, here's verse 10. And by that will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. And then you get down to verse 14, by a single offering he has perfected for all time those who are being sanctified. So verse 10, we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus. And then the same offering in verse 14 produces this idea of still being sanctified. So you could say, well, is that only, do we only think about that as already but not yet because of the grammar? Well, the grammar is certainly indispensable, but you can think about it in terms of real life and again certain accomplishments of Jesus. Jesus did do a certain thing. He did die on the cross. He did rise again. He ascended to the right hand of the Father, all that stuff. So Jesus does things. He accomplishes tasks. He accomplishes the will of God and that results in something. Namely, when we are joined to his body, we are in Christ. We are sanctified because he is sanctified. We are identified with him, but yet in our own life, we are still progressing. We're still being conformed with the image of his Son, as Paul would say. Those ideas. So there's a progression here and the progression is linked to the same sacrifice as the already element. And we can sort of know this by experience. Yeah, we take a point of theology and we say, well, this is great that God says this about me, that I've been sanctified. OK, this is wonderful. But then we look at our own lives and go, boy, I don't feel very sanctified today. I don't look like it.  So we know from real life that this is the Christian life. Again, it's being lived out in real time. We are still people. We are not superhumans. We are not. We didn't absorb the nature of God in all of its exhaustiveness so that we never sinned anymore, never have any proclivity to sin. When there's nothing like that, that's true. And we know that by experience. So in the bigger picture, again, we know we have a good sense. There's already something in the mind of God going on about us when he thinks about us. But then there's still the something else, this not yet aspect that is sort of where the rubber meets the road. And we can we know that that's true not by mere intuition. But there is there is intuition, but there's also our own life experience. So the grammar helps us to express that. And express why it is that God can look at us one way. And our life our life experience be something that seems to be at odds or seems to be out of sync with the way God looks at us. So there's there's there's a bigger picture here. There's a there's an experiential element to what's going on. So the grammar is is intimately part of expressing that. But the theological ideas, again, aren't exclusively about verb forms. And grammar is another illustration would be, you know, died to sin. You know, Paul will speak of believers as having died to sin. And then he can then he'll later command believers to die to sin. Well, you know, how do we get that? Again, it's a differentiation between what we are in the mind of God and what the scripture writers are trying to teach us, trying to teach us to look at us, how God looks at us. God looks at us a certain way, because when we believe in Christ, we are united to Christ, we are we are part of his body, we become the body of Christ, we are in Christ, all these all these metaphorical kind of statements. And that tells us how God's estimation of us, not not on our own merit, obviously, but because of something Jesus has already accomplished in real time. And then there's the the living out of it, you know, our experience in life that doesn't quite, you know, sync up, you know, with with the other parts. So there's a God perspective based on the already accomplished things that that Jesus did. And then there's our own perspective from our own life experience. And so the scripture writers tell us why this disconnect is there and how to process it. So grammar is an important part of that. But I think there's I don't think thinking about the grammar really enables us to think completely or exhaustively about the issue. I think we need a little bit more than that. So that sort of the the sum is greater than the parts in some respects. Our next question is from Elizabeth from Pecos, New Mexico. Now, West Texas, we say Pecos, so I'm going to go with Pecos just for the new Mexicans. Are they New Mexicans? Is that what we say? I know what are New Mexicans? You're from New Mexico, New Mexico. Well, I'm not from New Mexico. Maybe Elizabeth can email me and let me know what the proper term is. But her question is, as Dr. Heizer reveals the book of Hebrews to us, there came up a discussion in regards to wisdom as feminine. So in Luke seven, first thirty one through thirty five, Jesus himself states, quote, but wisdom is vindicated by all her children. In quote, is it fair to say that Jesus, the son of man, is referring he is one of wisdom's children? Is it possible that the father God and mother wisdom begot the word whom created all things as one of her children? Well, if we if we went back to the prior sentence, that this idea that Jesus was one of wisdom's children, if you define a wisdom as God himself, as, you know, another aspect or person using God had language here deliberately. And we were still talking about God. Well, that would be another way of talking about Jesus as the son of God. OK, then you'd be OK. But but following it up with father, God and mother wisdom, as though there's some sort of cosmic cohabitation here between two distinct entities and the key word there is distinct entities to ontologically distinct entities. And then producing Jesus, then there's a problem. And the problem really comes from reading gender terms in the translation. Proverbs eight, do Luke seven, whatever it is, Proverbs eight is the origin point for a lot of this when we have wisdom as being God's agent of creation. Proverbs eight, twenty two and following and wisdom being referred to in feminine terms. So when we read that in translation, we think of wisdom as a woman. And that that is the way in Proverbs that wisdom is cast. You know, we we have the, you know, wisdom as a woman. And then we have the woman known as Folly, you know, that these two are contrast in Proverbs to teach, you know, certain precepts, certain ethics, standards of ethics and morals. Now, you have to ask yourself, well, why is how do we parse that? Why is that done? I actually have a paper on this that's freely accessible online. If you go to www.thedivinecouncil, that's T-H-E-D-I-V-I-N-E-C-O-U-N-C-I-L.com, thedivinecouncil.com and look for the the paper entitled Jesus and the Wisdom Figure of Proverbs eight. Part of the issue is that this language, this feminine language should not be confused with gender, OK, biological gender so that we don't have a dad and a mom. OK, when we talk about God and wisdom, we don't have that. We don't have this cosmic cohabitation that produces Jesus and all that sort of thing. The gender, the reason the translations are the way they are is because languages, inflected languages, those are languages that have like verb endings and noun endings. And then you have to, the endings have to match up for subject verb agreement grammatically. Anybody who's had Spanish or German or French or, you know, Greek and Hebrew, for that matter, we'll know what I'm talking about here is, you know, English is not a gendered or an inflected, inflected driven language. English is largely driven by word order, as opposed to a set of endings and whatnot, but other languages, lots of other languages require grammatical gender for all words, all nouns and what are called finite verb forms so that you can match up a noun with the verb. You can tell what is the subject of the verb as opposed to what's the object of the verb. To do that, languages use grammatical gender. It has nothing to do with biological gender. My favorite illustration of this is in German. In German, Das Mädchen, it's a term that means little girl, is neuter. It's grammatically neuter.  They're not neuter, hermaphroditic, whatever, okay? It's just a good illustration. But German, like Spanish, like French, like whatever, words for hammer, words for wall, words for straw, words for glass, words for, you know, corner, words for car, they all have gender. It has nothing to do with biology. We have to realize that this is just a classification system that languages share, and this is how they do it. Gender, number, is it singular or plural? Some languages have a dual, where you do it, you have a pair, not more than two, not one, just two. You have that separate numerical category. Gender, number, or the big ones, you also have case systems and whatnot. But these are all classification features of a language. It has nothing to do with biological gender. So if you realize that, you can read Proverbs eight, you can read statements about wisdom and other passages and know that we're not talking about a female entity. We're talking about a personification of a concept, okay, in this case, wisdom. Wisdom cast as a woman by the writer for literary and rhetorical reasons, to communicate certain ideas. They're not hinting at, not trying to get us to think about biology and mothers and fathers and children in that sense, the sense that we're usually used to thinking about. So again, thedivinecouncil.com, look at the paper, Jesus and the Wisdom Figure, Proverbs eight, and again, that'll serve a little bit better, a little bit beyond this answer, at least in our episode here. Becky from Massachusetts has our next question. The ESV reading of Deuteronomy 32,17 is, quote, they sacrificed two demons that were no gods. To gods they had never known, to gods that had come recently, whom your fathers had never dreaded, end quote. What is the significance of the phrase, quote, new gods that had come recently, end quote? Especially the recent one part. Yeah, well, I'll get to that. But let me say at the first, the ESV translation of Deuteronomy 32,17 is awful. It's one of the few translations that will have something like, they sacrificed the demons that were no gods, plural. Now you think about that. Oh, the demons, okay, they're not gods. And then the very next phrase is, to gods, they sacrificed to gods they had never done. Well, are they gods or are they not? It's a self-contradicting translation. And it's a very poor translation. I suspect that whoever did the translation felt uncomfortable with divine plurality here. What you actually have. And I wrote, I have a published journal article on this that I don't think it's freely accessible. It might be. You might be able to find it with Google. It's the title, something like, it's Deuteronomy 32,17. Or does Elohim in Deuteronomy 32,17, should it be translated gods or something like that? Anyway, what the text actually says is they sacrificed to Shadim, demons in this English translation, not Eloah. Eloah is singular. It's only always, always and only singular. So you should not be translating it with a plural. It should say they sacrificed to demons, not God. To gods they had never known. Now that makes perfect sense. It doesn't contradict itself. So let's just adding that the ESV here is just not good on this particular verse. And most, I think it is fair to say most other English translations will do much better with the verse than that. Now about the newly, the recent gods that they had recently they had never known gods had come along recently so on and so forth. You know, we have to again put ourselves in this historical situation. Israel had a relationship with Yahweh first. Then later, they went after other gods. So the phrasing here refers to the chronology of the story of biblical Israel. They're brought out of Egypt. They journey to Sinai. They enter into a covenant with Yahweh at Sinai, the God of their fathers. They start journeying to the land promised by the earlier covenant. The one made at Sinai and the promise is made to the patriarchs and then they apostatize. A lot of Israelites go off and start worshiping other gods. Once they get into the land, when they have the conquest episodes, the end of Joshua, especially the beginning of judges, comments on this that God forsakes them because they intermingle with the population they should have driven out and they start worshiping those other gods. So this is what it has in mind. This eventually this beginning relationship with Yahweh, the God of Israel, the God of the Bible, the God of their fathers and then they drift off into worshiping new gods. That just had come along much more recently in their history that they're not part of their ancient past and they apostatize. Now, I wanna add one other thought here. This question is a really insightful question in another respect. And that is think about the wording and the wording and the story of biblical Israel pretty much requires that Deuteronomy 32 had to have been written after the conquest, okay? After or subsequent to the end of the conquest, the beginning of the book of Judges and therefore not by Moses. Because you can only make this comment about Israel going after other gods, gods they had not known until recently after it happened. And that didn't happen in the Mosaic period. The only alternative would be to say, well, maybe Moses wrote this and he's thinking about an apostasy in Egypt. Well, we don't have any biblical record of that. What we do have is a biblical record of Israel being taken out of Egypt, brought to Sinai, covenant with God, the God of their fathers. Yeah, we don't read about any mass apostasy while they're down in Egypt. And then the journey to the Promised Land, they don't carry out God's directions completely. They intermingle with the populations and they wind up worshiping other gods. Okay, for Deuteronomy 32 at this point of Deuteronomy 32 to make sense, that's hindsight. That's the kind of thing that you get in hindsight in Israel's history. So part of this song of Moses, I think at least of this verse and maybe some of the other parts very clearly are looking back on something that happened, post-Moses. And I say this is insightful because this is the kind of thing you run into elsewhere in the Torah and really in other parts of the Bible too where we assume that it was written during a certain time by a certain person even though it's not really claimed. I mean, there's no reason that we have to take the phrase law of Moses and presume that Moses wrote every word of this. You know, we've had this discussion before on the podcast and I'm what used to be called a supplementarian. I think that, you know, Moses, you know, there's a core to the Pentateuch that Moses either wrote or had dictated or something that's specifically connected with the lifetime of Moses and then it gets accrued to by other people in the prophetic tradition. And ultimately, again, we had a question a couple of Q and As ago about Genesis one through 11. Again, which I view a lot of that work either editorially or maybe in some cases compositionally done during the exiles specifically to poke the Babylonian gods and their religion in the eye. You have things like this happen in the Torah. All law of Moses means, you know, Torah at Mosheh, it can mean the law that originated with Moses. It can mean the law that was produced by Moses. It can also mean the law that is associated with Moses. Moses is the central character for most of the Torah. And so it's very natural to think of it as the law of Moses. It could be, you know, the law that, you know, not only is associated with Moses, but the law that, you know, refers, it is what it is, you know, in reference to the character of Moses. I mean, there are different ways to understand the semantics realize that this is a, in Hebrew, this is a simple, what they call a construct phrase an X of Y relationship between two nouns. The construct phrase has its own semantics. There's 12, 15 different categories, different ways of thinking about how noun of noun relationships work. You know, what they're trying to say they're different semantic categories, not just one. So, you know, there's no reason to think that or require that Moses had to write every word. Even with Jesus, Jesus, you know, quotes passages and attributes it to the law of Moses. Well, what else would he call it? By Jesus' day, it's the Torah, it's the law, that's what it's known as. If he calls it something else, they're not gonna know what he's talking about. He also refers to, you know, other books that don't really even have stated authors. They just get named after the main characters, you know, Samuel, you know, that sort of thing. Again, we have to make sure that how we think about scripture actually is gonna sound kind of crazy, but oftentimes the way we think about inspiration, the Bible itself gets in the way of our theology. Okay, we need to, you know, put the brakes on that. How we think about inspiration and how we think about issues like this, like authorship and whatnot. Our conclusions actually need to conform to the Bible itself, to the scripture itself. You know, we can't formulate an idea and then kind of ignore stuff that we run into. But often what happens is we do formulate ideas and then we run into passages like this and we make the passage stand on its head so that we can still keep our idea the way we think about a certain topic. And that isn't being text-driven. So we wanna try to be text-driven. That's what we do here at the naked Bible podcast or at least we try. And I think this question again brings us to one of those points where we really have to think about what we're looking at. Okay, Michael, that was our last question. So we appreciate, again, you taking the time to answer our questions. And hopefully we've returned home safely from Israel and we learned something and had a good time. Yeah, all of that. Lord willing. All right, Mike. Well, I just wanna remind everybody, send me your questions. If you have any at TrayStricklin at gmail.com, you can get that on the website. Mike, I'll also post a link to your Deuteronomy 32-17. Assume or deny the reality of other guides paper on the podcast page. So I'll put a link to that. And again, thanks for answering the questions and we wanna thank everybody else for listening to the Naked Bible Podcast. God bless. Thanks for listening to the Naked Bible Podcast.

Now what is a business name? It is how your business will be identified moving forward. That's how people remember your food concept. And this is the first step of creating your entire brand. So if you're thinking about marketing, if you think about designs, we can forget all of those. And we need to focus on building your business name. This is where everything starts. And that's why it's super, super exciting. Now, why is it important for you to create a good name? Because that's the first impression that your customers see. So when they hear about it from their friends and family, or if they see it online on Instagram, on websites, this is the first impression. So whatever name you choose, you need to love it. You need to own it because it becomes your stuff and your project that you're going to be working on for months, right? If not years. For us, 720 Suites, we built that brand from scratch and we had to own that name and became our identity for the last five years. And so that's the reason why you need to own it. You need to love it. However, don't let this be a reason of you not taking action because this is a very, very common thing that I see is that people don't take action because they cannot find and perfect their name. Pro tip. A lot of people, a lot of students that of mine, they're scared to take that step forward. They're scared to commit. They're scared to take action. They're scared to quit their job. They're just scared because of whatever reasons they may, there may be. And the excuse that they often fall back into is that, Hey, you know what? I cannot find a name. I want to name that as cool and I want to name that resembles me. I want to name that does this does that and always about excuses after excuses and hiding behind the fact that they don't have the perfect name to start. And that's something that I don't want you to make.  I want you to do the research and at the end of this whole process, I want you to identify that name and just go with it because you can always revisit down the road and change the branding. You can always evolve as a brand. So don't let this be a reason for you not to take action.  That means this is the most common way to name your food brand. And we see this a lot of times out there, right? So basically putting your name or someone's significance name at the front and then plus a description at the end of the stuff that you're offering. So for example, we have Wilson's fried chicken, the way to name your brand with name and functional is the fact that it's easy and to the point and it is memorable. Yet it is not original. So this is something that you can start off with and you can evolve down the road. Once again, the pros is that when people look at this brand, they know exactly what I'm serving. I'm I'm serving fried chicken, Wilson's fried chicken. The cons of that, right? The disadvantage is just that it's just not that special. It's just like any other name out there. Now, the second way to name your business is to follow a generic theme, whether it be an adjective, a noun, an action or simply a concept, this could become a name for your specific food item. The pros of this is that it's a much cooler story that comes with it, it seems like. And also, there's a sense of mystery. When people read this, they understand the name, when what it means as a standalone as a definition. However, they don't know what your twist is with it and they have that curiosity about, Hey, why is it that specific name? However, the disadvantage of going with a generic theme name is the fact that it's not the easiest to remember because it's a little bit more generic. And on top of that, it does require a little bit more effort to build that brand. So for example, Chipotle, when you look at when you think about Chipotle, when you hear Chipotle before Chipotle, Mexican grill was born, you didn't know what it was. You didn't you didn't have that resignation of that specific brand and in terms of what they have to offer. But because Chipotle did such a great job in their branding and in their expansion, we now all know Chipotle as that Mexican grill place. So for your name, you can follow something generic as well. Next up, random names names that don't mean much and or it could be a combination of many different names, two names, whatever the case may be. The pros of this is that it is very, very unique and most likely you're not going to be able to have other restaurants or other food concepts with the same name. However, the big disadvantage to this is that it's very hard to remember. And it's very difficult to build a name off random names because people just don't register to that and there's no connection to that specific name, unless you know what you're doing and then unless you have the ability to build a great brand that is memorable. For example, Kidoba, right? What is it? I have no clue what it is, but it's also a food brand that's out there. So once again, this is a random name way of naming. I don't really recommend using random names. I like a number one and number two the most. Okay. Now that you have a name and you came up with something that you're like, oh, this is pretty good. What next? Next because we're setting up our online presence because we're distributing online. We need to check right away about all the different social domains and we need to see whether they have a website, whether you can have their Instagram, whether you can have a YouTube, whether you can have Facebook. And the best way to do that is through a site called namecheck.com. So basically you enter in your name and the food business name that you're wanting and automatically it'll show you which domains are taken with that name. So definitely go check them out. After you checked the name that has availability on Instagram or as a website, then you can know that, oh, this is a name for me because it's available as an account. So instead of you going to Instagram and checking out whether the name works and then going on YouTube, having checking that name, whether it's available or taken, going on Facebook, going on your website domain, you can all use namecheck to do that. Right. So after you do your name check, you finalize on your name, it is time to register for all the free accounts first. Okay. We're talking about Gmail. We're talking about Instagram. We're talking about Facebook. And then as an optional item that when you are ready to invest, you can actually go and purchase their domain, look into multiple domain purchasing platforms and to compare prices. So something that I recommend would be godaddy.com or siteground.com. And these are really great sites that you can just go in there, buy a domain for four bucks, 10 bucks, something like that. Right. So not a very hefty investment. Next up Shopify. Right. If you're planning to do e-commerce, use a Shopify account. Yes, I know there is going to be monthly fee, but it is worthwhile because of the user experience. Okay. It is something that you don't need to set up right away. However, just have this as a bookmark and come back to this later on. We'll cover this in depth in the future lessons as well. And then Facebook and Instagram can also be a shop itself if you don't have a Shopify account. And once again, we'll cover this later on in the other lessons. Okay. So as an example, this is basically the name check. Okay. And this is our name search. We put down a few different names and ideas based on the naming methods that I shared with you. And then we use name check to see if they're available online, whether the Facebook name is taken, whether Instagram or Twitter in the link is taken, and whether the dot com is taken. If they are taken, then I would choose a different variation of the name. So for example, with the case study of Bulbasaur. And if you don't know what Bulbasaur is, it's basically a case study that we created. It's a bubble tea at home kit that we created. So then that way we can showcase to you as a case study. So originally when we were thinking about a name for this business, we were thinking about Bulbasaur and it sounds cool because Bulba, we're selling Bulba and Bulbasaur sounds great. But then we see that the Facebook accounts are taken, the Twitter accounts are taken. So we had to change the name. And what we did was just added a Y V R at the end of it. And then all the names became available. So we can actually register for it. So adding these kind of names at the end of your desired name can also work as well. Now it is your turn. Let's go have some fun and name your food concept. Okay. Follow the name search template in the link below.


OK, let's talk about the crunch flow. So this short video is supposed to be orientation for crunch flow. I introduced in the lesson, in the orientation lesson, that there are a lot of other reactive transport codes, like besides crunch flow, you have tough react, P fraud chain, freak C, geocampsic workbench. Different reactive transport has a bit of different flavors, but they all kind of solve the same, similar mass conservation equations for different species. So the backbone of different reactive transport codes are the same, but they have different solvers. They could have different computational speed because of the use of different solvers, or also using different solvers, they could have different convergence capabilities. So the way it's numerical solved, it could be very different. And that directly determine how fast things are going to run in your system. I choose to teach crunch flow for several reasons among all these other reactive transport codes, mostly because I think it's very flexible in terms of setting up in profile. At the beginning, the learning curve might be a little bit, you might think it's a bit short because of the, it's not a gooey interface. It's not graphic. And you might not use to text file and opening up these executables. But once you get used to it, and this allow you a lot of flexibility to run things and putting things that are much faster than a lot of other reactive transport codes does. And also, it uses advanced solvers like this PESI package, which has a lot of fast solvers. This PESI package is developing one of the national lab, I believe it's Agung. If I remember correctly. So it runs fast, and it tends to be robust. It usually don't get into non-convergence problem unless your system is ill conditioned. Or there's a bit of somewhere, there's a bug there. But then it also is very flexible in terms of setting up a heterogeneous system. Like if you have different low-permission, high-permission, some mineral in somewhere that is more abundant in another location and less abundant, you can actually express it set up in CrunchFlow, which I think it's the biggest advantage for CrunchFlow. So in order to be able to run CrunchFlow, you need actually, so in this class, I put all the different executables on the cost website. There's also the menu file. There's a folder of CrunchFlow exercise, which has a lot of different files there. That cost default when he taught CrunchFlow short causes before he tend to run these executable files, use these exercise files. So this, you can see the exercise in addition to what we teach here. And if, at the end, we are running your project, you will be looking for things that you can use. And this exercise could be a very nice complementary in terms of adding additional examples and template input file for you to use. So I think when you do, in this class, is when you try to learn CrunchFlow, you should use the menu frequently. You can search for the keywords and look at the explanation. You don't have to read everything at the beginning, because I think that doesn't, if you do that, the informator doesn't register as much, because you haven't got much of a handle on understanding the code yet. So I always advertise, learn it when you use it. I think that's where the information register the best. So what I have here is a folder that has four files. So executable CrunchTope 64-bit for the Windows system I have. There's a DLL file, there's the input file, and DBS file. So these four files are the necessary file for you in order to run the CrunchFlow in a folder. You can actually set up exactly in the system to make it run default without copying to different folder. But for now, let's just keep it simple and keep it in this folder. So we have this executable, which is the newest family of the CrunchFlow executable. It actually, its reason is called now, it's called CrunchTope, because it actually incorporates isotope geochemistry. So the code should be able to run isotope fomeration and everything. This DLL file is a library file. So seeing it happens, how the code does is when it's solving the equations, it actually calls some dynamic library. So this library file is necessary in order for the code to finish. And then you have the input file and the database file. So we are going to introduce these two files a bit, just to introduce a structure of it. I'm not going to talk about in detail, but just give you kind of a sense of what's going on. And then in the later lessons, or most of the keywords will be introduced. And you learn by working on exercise and examples. So the input file is mostly divided into keyword blocks. For example, here you have title, block which you can have in a name and introduce what is this input file about. It's a good record keeping. Every keyword block, typically try to differentiate keyword block name and keywords. So you use the capital to indicate the keyword block names. So it's easier to see. And each keyword block should end with the end, like what we have here. So typically, this is for flow and transfer in 1D system. So there's multiple keyword block here. There's runtime, there's output discretization and all that. Today, I probably would just introduce the runtime mostly. A lot of these keywords are not really it's related to a numerical solution process. Typically, I don't suggest changing it early on because you might whatever default that you use it. One thing that's sometimes useful is this is specify the solver, just name the solver. So there are several different solvers if you look up in the menu. There are several different solvers you potentially can change one to the other if you have, for example, non-convergence problem at some point. So the PC, PC, left, they are all explained in contrast. So typically what I do it, I tend to kind of open the menu when I learn it. I tend to look at all that and try to learn what it means when I'm using that, for example. PC level, PC level. So it explains, the menu explains what it means and everything so you can dig into that and do things. And one thing that is important to keep in mind is for, in order to put in comments, for example, there's line you want to put in, explain what that number is from and what it means and what are the units and everything. You can use command line starting with this exclamation mark. You cannot do exclamation mark in the middle of line for them doing this. This code is not going to recognize. So you always need to start a new line with starting with exclamation mark to do comments. So the code will be kind of actually read that as a text, not as a keyword. One thing that's important to keep in mind is your database file, the name of database file need to be exact the same as the name of the database file in the same folder. For example, here we have data.com.dps. You should put that there. If you put another name there and then you don't have that database in this folder, then it's not going to run. Or if you have multiple databases in the same folder, you need to specify which one you are going to use. These are the different ways of solving. So screen output is the number of steps that you will skip before the screen actually have an output. If it's one, it's putting out every time step. If it's 10, it's putting out every 10 time steps. And there's output to keyword blocks. You can put in time units like minutes, seconds, hours, et cetera. This is a time. You can put several times. You want to see the snapshot of the system. And the last one is how long the system is going to run to. So in this system, it's going to run to 250 minutes. Time series is where you want to have, for example, in a particular grid block, you want to have a time series from time beginning to the end of the simulation. You want to see how the contrition for example means that grid block evolve over time. So that's the name of the output file that is going to have that information. And this specifies which grid block you want to have that time series. You can do multiple time series with different names and different grid blocks. And this time series will determine how fast, how many, like every one, so every time step, so the code is going to write on the breakthrough curve. If you want it to be output every time, every 10 times times that fine too, then you make the submission as a file, breakthrough file, a bit smaller, because you have less output. Anyway, so these are the output. I'm not going to introduce everything else in the system because we will be introduced in detail all the keyword block in one lesson on 1D physical processes with advection, diffusion, dispersion process. So I'm going to leave these to there for the introduction of these blocks. So all we teach is more or less kind of get familiar with the keywords for each different process that we do need to do in order to setting up this meaning for it and making sense. Now before we close, let's talk about the database. So this is the data.com. This is a long file and it's borrowed from EQ3 database, essentially. It started with a line called temperature points. So these are eight different temperature points. If you want to understand the details, for example, there's eight different temperature points. These are for different degree Celsius. So there's log cave later when we talk about the reaction, different reactions. There are eight different cave values corresponding to the eight different temperatures, which is already down in the EQ3 six. So if you are specifying for going to temperature, it is 150. So code is going to read the log cave value for the different reactions from the fifth number, not from the default 25 degree Celsius. That's what it is for. All right, so that's a temperature point. These are the Debye-Hacko coefficients because the code used Debye-Hacko equation to calculate the coefficients. And then after Debye-Hacko block, you have from starting from water to should be at the end of primary. So the answer from up until here, it's a list of primary species. And each primary species have three parameters there. The first one is a Debye-Hacko parameter that you can use for that species. This is charge, and this is molecular weight for all the different primary species. So you can actually add in your own primary species if you either artificial makeup and elements or something. So sometimes you need to manipulate code to do something that you want. There should be a presence in the primary species because the primary species is essentially the building block of the system. So after primary species, you would have starting from the line following the end of primary, you would start to have the secondary species. So all these secondary species are written, for example, like this. Let's see, let's look at HS. So for the relevant primary species, for the sulfide species is a sulfate. It didn't exist in this database. You actually can put in another sulfide if you want. But here it's actually the primary species here is sulfate. So there's no sulfides there. You can do the sulfide species when you give it another name. So you can specify the sulfide species as written in terms of redox reaction with oxygen. So a sulfide becomes reduced to become sulfide. Or HS plus O2 gas to become sulfate being oxidized. Let's look at another maybe bicarbonate or something. So for carbon, let's look at carbonate. For carbonate species, what do you specify in the system is CO2? There should be a CO2, let's see. Let's search for. Oh yeah, there's a bicarbonate there. So the bicarbonate is the primary species. And then everything else, for example, the CO2-AQ or bicarbonate should be written as bicarbonate. So here when it's, so let's look at this line specifically. This is essentially writing CO3 carbon species. It involves two different species. One is hydrogen ion. The other is bicarbonate. So if you write, it will be CO3 minus minus plus. When it's minus, meaning it's in left-hand side of the equation. Plus H plus equals to bicarbonate. So the prime species need to be in the right-hand side. And what are these? So these should be the equilibrium constants. These are the right equilibrium constants. It's the equilibrium constant for following the way that the reaction is written. So it's saying bicarbonate species can be bicarbonate. If you write it that way, it will be 9.6 log K. This is log K value. So this is not 10.0, which means it's at a different temperature. And it's using the same value. So it's not corresponding to a temperature. So if you want to look at the temperature effect, every reaction you, when later when you're writing, you will need to specify. If you are actually running high temperature, you want to look up these numbers to make sure this number in database is correct just to confirm that sometimes these databases are changed by people. So you want to make sure these numbers are right because these are very important numbers. If we look at CO2, AQ is essentially in CO2. AQ plus water equals to H plus and bicarbonate. So there's three species involved. And for this reaction, you have log K equal to at 0 is minus 6.58. And at high temperature, it keeps on decreasing. So this set of numbers make sense. But you still want to check. Every number you use and you end up using in the modeling process, you want to check these numbers. So 3.0, again, is a Dubai Haku. So this three number is essentially like the same three numbers as you see in the primary species, you see Dubai Haku, parameters, charge, and the molecular weight. So that's a list of second primaries. So it should be, and as I do control F, I will see end of secondary. So it will say end of second. Then this is toward the end of a second species list. Everything is written in second species. It's written in primary species. And then you see a block of everything with the G. Process G means the gas phase. So all the gas phase are listed here. And then there should be end of gases. Here's the end of gases. And then after that, after gases, you would have all these mineral phases. So you can see the different reaction, let's search for calcite. So again, for the calcite, you have molecular weight. So we're actually rooting into two species. This is a stoichiometric coefficient, right? One chasium and one carbonate. And again, you have these other log K. Again, here, the value is not necessarily right because you have all the same. But I believe this number should be the log K equals, at 25 degrees Celsius. For the mineral phase, you only have molecular weight. You don't have to buy HACO and charge because these are not in the water for the aqueous phase. So each mineral is written this way. So if you go to end of minerals, this ends as the end of mineral phase. And then it will begin the sulfate complexation session. Specify the weight of the sulfate complexation is written as well as, again, this is a reaction. And then there's a log K value in different conditions. Every time you see all the 500.000, these are numbers that are kind of dummy numbers that you put in because you don't know what number to use. So this number means if you are looking for them. So that's this in here. We know that the 25 degree Celsius log K for this reaction is 8.82. But for all other temperatures, we don't know. So if you need to use these at other temperature, you need to look it up in the literature. And then this ending, end of sulfate complexation. Now, the other thing I want to point out is there's also sulfate complexation at the end. So there's a begin sulfate complexation parameters that give you the charges of the different sulfate species. So these are the actual surface charges of the surface reaction that directly relates to sulfate complexation. OK, so this is sulfate complexation. Then you have aqueous kinetic block and then mineral kinetic block. Again, I always suggest that you will be looking up literature for real numbers. For example, let's say here you are specified. Let's look at calcite again as an example. So for example, calcite here is specified several different in several different blocks for different weight loss. So everyone has a label. In this block, the label default. And you are actually looking at this reaction and with dependence on H plus. Here it didn't specify dependence. So it should be there's no dependence here. Like here, it will be dependence on active H plus raised to 1.0. And this is rate constants, activation energy, the type of rate load used and all that. And for the other one, for this one, you are saying it depends on CO2AQ to the 1.0 and for the calcite distribution reaction. So for example, somewhere else, you also write paride, oxidation reaction, and you have all these. So you can also, in the implied, put the rate constant like this. So if you put an implied rate constant, then it's going to ignore what you have in the database and use the one in the input file. Anyway, so that's for the mineral kinetics. And if the mineral that you are interested in is not already there, you can add another block specifying all these numbers. And as long as you specify, for example, the minerals, is part of the mineral list. If you have a new mineral that is not in the list of minerals, you can add that in in the mineral list, which specifies the reaction is locate values for that mineral. And then you add another mineral block for the kinetics here. OK, so that's for the mineral kinetics. And then you would have the exchange block, which specifies, you can specify multiple site ion exchange or a single site ion exchange. These are specified essentially. Again, the reactions for the half ion exchange reaction and the exchange coefficient. So at the end, you have this. After this, the later parts, you have some numbers or whatever there. These tend to be seen for them. If you want to move around a little bit, you can temporarily start there. So you can more or less ignore these if you want. I could just remove all that. OK, so let's do just a run. So what you do is when you try to run CrunchFlow, you click on that executable file, and then you will be putting the name. It will ask for the name of the input file, transport1d. You always have your input file in .in so that the code can recognize this is the input file. OK, now after this, you see a lot more file. Because with all these, so you should look at the extension. All the output file are the output. So because I specify in the special profile one time, it will be output at that one time for all the different velocity, for the total concentration, which we'll be talking about later, total concentration, speciation, pressure, gas, concentration, and there's also an isotope file. So in any case, and also a breakthrough curve because I want this, but it's an outlet time series. So you will see a lot of these output files. If you change your input file at this point, let's say it's changed some number, and rerun again here, the new output file will replace the old output file. So if you want to keep a record of both, you need to have another folder to run the simulation in order to be able to still have the record of each. Otherwise, it's going to be overwritten. And if we look at, let's look at transport 1D out, it's essentially kind of echo what has been ready. It's essentially going through the file to see the input file and kind of keep a record of what has been ready. And then it says, at the end, it says, OK, I'm going to start initialization completed starting time stepping. So sometimes if the code has stopped running in the middle or something, you can look at this file to see if everything has been written in correctly. If not, that means there's something wrong in your input file. Another thing to keep in mind is in your input file, you're not supposed to use tab. You have to use space, too, if you want to kind of things lay out nicely and everything. Or with use, don't use tab. The code doesn't recognize tab. Let's look at the breakthrough. OK. So here, what we specify as a specific bromide. So this is essentially for that gray cell, which is at the outlet. You have time, you have bromide concentration. This is, so early on, they run very, because I put one or something for time interval, so it run every time. So early on, it's like starting from 10 to minus 10 minutes. It's essentially initial continue. You don't have any bromide. And then in the input file, in the inlet, you inject input files as a bromide country. So it starts to have high and high concentration at some point later. So the inlet concentration is this. The inlet concentration is this. So at somewhere, for example, around maybe 100 minutes or something, you start to have something come out and then eventually you have these concentrations stabilized to the end. So this is a system of just transport. And these should be the log concentration. This is concentration bromide in log concentration. So this runs. And if you need to end this concentration to the concentration for this non-racial species, it's not really important. So I'm going to stop here. And hopefully you have a bit of sense of what's going on. Several things that you should remember is you always need the executable file, database, input file, and the library file to run the simulation. And the control menu will be your good friend in this class. Besides the reading materials, you will learn about the general principles. I'm going to stop here. So from lesson one, we'll introduce for individual processes what are the important keywords and parameters. Then we'll go through exercises and then run some simulations to do homework to kind of re-emphasize what you have learned in class. All right, that's what we have for.


let me show you my chart. Okay, good. Can you see it? Yes, I can see it. That's Baidu, right? Baidu. How are you today? You made almost two grand. That's great. I did, Melissa. It's amazing. You know, between the options and the shorts, I'm really doing well. So how much are you risking now? Because I know you've been back and forth, back and forth, back and forth with this. So the risks with shorts still is $200 per trade, and we're willing to lose $200 per trade on each trade. So a loss for the day, a $400 at the most. So you're doing two trades a day, $200 a piece. Yes, but with Baidu, so I size myself, but I still, when it goes like Baidu did, I made more. And then I went into Baidu twice. Yeah, but I'm saying like, you're not going to lose any more than $200. Is that with the options too? Yes. The options, you know, I haven't, we really haven't figured out, I haven't figured out the options because I'm kind of new to it. All I've been doing is, and actually- Well, let's talk about Apple. Two weeks, the options you've called, we really haven't lost. I know that's why. You're like, oh, I mistakenly took double the size. I mean, that's like, I mean, that's the kind of stuff. I mean, yeah, it's great when it works, but you still have to be aware of that now. So you took this, this was down though, this was down Friday, and you took to this, the Apple. Yes, because you called it first thing in the morning, and Fridays I work. So what I was doing, because I was in work, I was trying to get the options to Ben so that he could do them from his phone, because he does stuff from his phone all the time, and I don't. I've learned how to get out of things on my phone, but not get into things on my phone. So that work, and I was in there early, so I put the order out for an Apple, and then I was going to, I was going to tweak the limit price, and I went up putting another order, so when it filled, it filled for two contracts. That's funny. So it really worked out to when I, when I opened it this morning, I was like, oh my God. So how much did you make in that? So how much did you make in Apple alone? $754 in Apple. Okay. So if I got out when at bottom this morning, I was over a thousand, but you know, we were in Baidu, and I couldn't do two things. I know there's a lot going on. Yeah. Well, I'm, that's something I sort of touched on that this morning in the room. You can estimate what you think it is, and just put an order out in the morning. And again, it may not be where, it may not be the exact low, but it's kind of, you can estimate where you think it's going. And I did feel that 180 was definitely, definitely doable, and it got almost there, 180, 28, you know. You did. The only thing I can tell you is that, like I put limit orders out today on the spy and the queues for, so Ben, Ben usually targets 70% profit on the options. That's like a good number for him. So that's what I did. I put limit orders out on the spy and the queues for 70%. And I kind of have a feeling it's, it's going to get there.  If you didn't get out of everything today, fine. If you did fine, but you got out of Baidu all around, right? Cause this is, this is even, yeah. I mean, this is probably lower too. But I mean, what a great exit, even if he got out of this today. Yes. Ben did that option for me on Friday. So he was in it and then got out of it. And that's how, how he made the $456 in the Baidu option in his one contract. Okay. All right. So all in all, you're risking about 400 of the options and 200 in the day trades. Is that what you're risking? Yes. And I also have a new chart with the different stock losses on it to kind of give me, you know, so in other words, if it's a 20 cent stock loss, it's a, I'd take a thousand shares. Say if it's an 80 cent stock loss, I take 250 shares. Okay. All right. Well, then that's good. Yes. So, um, you know, at least until I build everything, like up to a certain level, and then Ben said, we'll revisit it again. So, because like what you really made me think when you said, what's your risk? And I went, well, you know, and then I'm saying, well, shares really isn't risk. Like just because you look at the shares, the amount, how much a share is. So then it kind of like my delightful when I went, Oh, I know what she means. Well, when they stopped between the entry and the stop, that's really my risk. Right. Exactly. But I mean, you heard, I don't think you were ever making that mistake, which some people in the room were like Carl was, and then he fixed it. Now he's had a big month. But I mean, you know, I think, I think that whatever the month was, I don't even remember it now, like February, March, whatever, where if we take two trades and the first two fail in the morning and you have to take a third trade, well, then that's where you say, okay, well, wait a minute. So if we take, if for some reason, we're having a bad morning and the first trade fails and the second trade fails, are you then not doing a third trade? Now I'm done. Okay. I'm done. Okay. Yeah. And the other thing I found was if I put a limit order, like I did put a limit order this morning on the second trade on five. And I put it for, I put it for 117. I should have probably done it for 117. 50. But like, but it almost takes the emotion out of it for me. You mean to get you out of it? You mean to get you out after you're in it? Well, yeah, if that works for you. Yeah, because sometimes I'm just waiting for to go down 10 more cents. Yeah. Yeah. Well, I mean, honestly, this was easy though today. I mean, I didn't even look at where the low was in this 117 24. But if you look the way this closed, it almost like it ran out a day. Like this would have probably broken 117. No, it did all look here 117 16. That was about 315 in the afternoon. So this would have if you if you stayed in it all day, actually could have done this another time too. I'm looking at this here now. I didn't go back and look at this but looks like this this would have broke 117. If it had, if it just traded out till six o'clock, I mean, this is lower probably tomorrow. But I still think this is a great exit. I think you're doing well. I mean, I wouldn't increase your risk here now once starting season for the next starting season. But I mean, by the time the July rolls around, if you feel confident, maybe you can increase your risk for the day trades up to 300.  Yeah, it's just, you know, so the apple was an unintended surprise, but you know, and like it worked. But I just feel like, like, so we were doing call options, like a month or two ago, and they were working and now the markets totally like changed and now we're doing puts and they're kind of working too. So it's fun to learn and yet and keep my hand in the shorts. Like the, you know, and the buy-do option reminded me a lot of the MGM when we went in that three times. Remember for the day trader talking about, because I didn't call any options of the MGM. Right now. But, but when something works like that, that's the way I felt about buy-do today was just the MGM. You just got to go with it because so many days, you know, we'll get a day that doesn't work. So when you get a day that it's it's falling three times and, you know, go for it. I know.  Like some people did do Apple M buy-do as day trades, which because I both liked them both right out of the game. But I mean, we've been, I've been doing so, I mean, almost every trade that I'm calling is working.  And then, you know, and then it's there and then you do it.  Okay. Like it's kind of like that. Like I'm very aware of checking myself now, like not to, you know, I mean, I'm like just, I'm, that's what I said this morning. I'm like, I'm even more focused now because like every trade that I'm calling is working. I'm like, you know, like I'm really like making sure that they're good before I'm even calling them because we're just, it's like we can do no wrong. You know, I know. And you know, it's not scary in itself, right? It's not scary, but it's just like, I just want to make sure that I'm not getting ahead of myself, that I'm making sure that everything rates right, everything's setting up right, but I'm seeing the market correctly, which, which I am, you know, I mean, and I definitely think that I mean, I think, I think I can't see how we get up and around this situation here with the market. So are you, you're out of everything then, everything to the downside? No, in the spy option and the cues, because I think tomorrow it'll probably dip down again. So I wasn't, I wasn't, you know, I wanted to get out with green and I really think I have conviction in them that they'll go down again. Okay. Now Google flipped completely around. Did you do that one or not? I couldn't get in on my phone on Friday and Ben and I were in like, we were in, he was in three things and then I had the two contracts and Apple and I just like, and then you sent out Google and I'm like, like, like, I had to pull back and say, I think we're, that's okay. That's all right. All right. All right. That's fine. So you, did you do this to, did you do this today then or you didn't want to send the second email out or you just let it be? Which I sent a second email out today because the people that did do it, I said you could take more of this. So did you do it or you didn't do anything with them? I didn't do the one on Friday. So therefore I didn't do the one today because also I was in the two apples and I was in the spine, the cues. So I just thought, especially with me being new to options, I thought it was probably just better that I, you know, just, yeah, because at one time I had five, I think we, you called like five, I think they were wanting to be calls, but I was like an old father like, you know, it's too much. But I mean, honestly, that has been like since the beginning of the year, like when I've been doing these, like because I've been reading the market so well, it's almost like when I'm seeing what's going to happen, I call them all in a wave and like that's how I mean, that's literally, yeah.  The 13th? Yes, I did. Okay. The options, the only one that I had trouble with was there was a Netflix call that it was right before them and I didn't get out. Oh no. Yeah. That one flipped around. Yep. Yeah. But then I called that one then. Did you do well in it? And I just, I did swell in so many other ones that I could really like wipe my hands in it and not feel that bad. What about the one for this here today, the Netflix? I didn't do that one because like I said, I was in the double, two contracts of Apple and the other two. So I thought three for me was probably a good number of options to be in. Okay. Well, that's fine. This did work though. Yeah. I know I saw. Great. I think it's fun that you're doing the options now too with the day trades. I think if you keep doing well, then you can increase your risk a little bit more than for the next earning season and you've got your sizing down now with your cheat sheets. I think that's good. Do you have any quick questions or? No, I just figured we'd be visiting July and I can tell you how, of course we'll probably talk, we'll talk for them. But yeah, I'm just I love when you did the the instruction last week and you made us all rate everything and then you know, even today when you made us our targets for Apple. Yeah. I love doing that because I need to do more of that.  I mean, of course, I can give the answers for every single solitary thing, but I do think it's I think I should start to do some kind of regular thing like that. We've been so busy, though, it's been so much going on in the mornings when I'm trying to scan and look at rate so many different things, make sure we get the good one. But if we don't do something like that beforehand, we can do start to do it in the non busy season after the fact to go back and rate things. But honestly, I know that it's helpful. And I usually am giving everybody the answers. So I think it's helpful when people start to answer the answers. And there was one that we went over, gosh, I said I didn't like it. And then we didn't do it. And there was something there was I forget what it was, was a stock symbol that we looked at it was last week. And I said, no, I don't like this. And here's why it's going to hold green was something that we did.  It started with an F. I can't think of it. But if you think of it, remind me tomorrow because that I showed you something on that, which is something to do with the class. I don't remember what it was. But nobody got the answer, right? No, you told us it was because of the long tail on the bottom and the buying at the top. You said, look at all that buying that came in. I know I don't remember what it was, though. Anyway, stuff like that's good to do. Stuff like that is good to do. And then when I saw this morning, I'm like, oh my gosh, she's putting out options at six I know. I know. Well, I do. I sent that out like I sent that out so early. It just crushed it through. And then that's when I quick sent it out. I'm like, well, people can figure this out on their own. I mean, sometimes I got to get it out.  And then people are being like, what is the target? What is the target? I mean, it's only there's only so much time that one person could do so many things. But I really called this market so nicely. And so I was so I wasn't surprised at all when I saw the way we closed Friday and then gap down today. And I was just like, yes, you know, but yeah, I mean, you gotta you gotta that's why if you take something, and I think you've been good with this, but you've only been doing this for about a month, when you take something, if it hasn't gone yet, don't kill it. Don't kill it right away because you've got to give it a chance. And I am certain that people kill that apple. I'm so certain nobody nobody emailed me. So I know there's people out there that don't want to admit that they killed it because of the way that it was on Friday. Well, you said all week last week that apple did look good. That apple didn't look good. And you just kept saying that. So then when I had it on Friday, I'm like, you know, Melissa keeps saying apple doesn't look good. So I'm just gave us the targets for by you. Ben was in the buy do option. So I shot it. The targets. And I said it to him. Okay, there you go. Yeah, you make a good husband and wife team. He's going to be able to retire soon too. That'd be nice.   Oh, I think it was a SWKS last week. Yeah, he's like, you know, and, and he's more conservative than me. And I'm like, more like, let's go. What did he want to do with it? What do you mean? I didn't make a member SWKS dropped. Yeah. And we were waiting for it to drop again. And remember, we took a little more. Yeah, yes. Price point. If I had gone out when it first dropped, my my profit would have been a lot better. Oh yeah, this was this was hard. But you ended up getting out. You could have held it longer. But then I think you were you were like screw it and it got out like with 50 bucks or something. Much but it did it did work. But but the first drop was the I know. But that's why this morning I'm like, you know what, boom, boom, boom, you know, back in the groove and in and out and in and out and in and out in and out. Even though this did go lower all day, you never you never know. I know. Yeah. But you're doing great, Jackie. I'm you're really picking it up. You're really doing well. You're thinking for yourself. Thank you. Sales all ships are in some some. Oh yeah, what is that? A rising tide lifts all ships. There you go. There we go. That's a good one. I should put that in the email. Thank you. I'm not I'm the rising tide. See you tomorrow in the room. Congratulations. Tell your husband I said hi.


The last time we were here, there was a bit of a break wasn't it, so England went to play and we were all very excited about Jess Parks getting an opportunity for England and she didn't play a single minute in the two games. So obviously she did get called up to play against the world champions and we won that game 2-1 and we were all expecting her to at least make a debut coming on as a sub, maybe towards the end or against, was it Czech Republic or was it Czech Republic? And she didn't, but it was good that she got the call up. It was good she got the call up and the USA is a tough game and England obviously won that game at Wembley, it was a fantastic occasion and although the goal that was disliked for America by VAR was a little bit strange. But then you said they played against Czech Republic, drew 0-0 and she couldn't go off the bench and the two games that were just friendlies, I found that a little bit strange considering that there was a lot of hype about her and she did get called up. You would have thought they would have given her a little bit of a chance just to get 10 minutes under the belt. She showcased so much talent already in the season so far so you would have thought she maybe even if she just come on the last 10 minutes as a sub and got that chance but never came. No, but I suppose now that gives her a little bit of a taste doesn't it of what it's to be like to be in the England side. And to listen, England are the European champions, they just beat the world champions and we'll go into the next world cup thinking we've got a really good chance. So it is exciting for her that she's there and she's part of the squad. Yeah, I just hope she gets a debut soon because she really, really deserves it especially as you saw the goal again at Anfield. That just wraps up what she is about and what she can do. Let Man City just extend that loan another year, just give the girl a chance. We've had other people that have come in on loan and have loved it and wanted to stay like Jill Scott. She obviously paid for us for years and then come in from loan from Man City and wanted to stay and they wouldn't let her. No, she's too busy with a coffee shop now though isn't she? She's retired obviously now. Hopefully she gets an opportunity, but the women's team they came back last Sunday afternoon at home at Waltonall Park. You were there, they played Chelsea, obviously a very, very tough game. Chelsea are obviously the top side in the division. It looked like it was a close game wasn't it for most of the game. Obviously Chelsea took the lead, haven't got back into it. But in the end it was a 3-1 defeat with a very, very late goal to make a 3-1 as well. Yeah, especially the first half we played so well and we looked really strong and catching veggie. I might not be saying that right again. I'm sorry if I'm pronouncing it wrong because I'm really bad at that thing. Do you know the best way to find out what someone's name is? Just go over and ask them. It's what I did when Everton signed Luca Dean. I went over to him and said, I'll just say your name and he told me and that was it. Job done. I really need to. That's the best way. But she was incredible the whole entire game, the whole game. She was up and down the wing constantly, always creating chances and I just love watching her play. She was incredible. Gabby George did really well again. Now you told me last time that Gabby George was Everton's best player.  I thought playing centre back, that's her position. But she's not playing centre back is she? No. She's playing left wing back at the moment or left back. She's playing all sorts of different positions at this point but she's such a versatile player and can play in different positions and does really well for the club doing that. I remember she was a centre back and then she got a really bad injury just when it looked like she was about to sort of based on the scene. I know a few of the other clubs out there were sniffing round her as well so that was disappointing. I think there's been about three different managers since she got the injury so I can understand maybe why she's found herself in a different position. But it shows how good the player is. You said it last time and it shows how good the player is. She can fill in another role and she's doing well there. She is doing really well and obviously to see her comeback from that injury was incredible because she was out for like over a year I think. She's come back so much stronger now and obviously she got called up for the English squad a few times not for the orals unfortunately but she has been called up and she's improving every game and it's really good to see. The Everton goal was an own goal and that's the second game in a row that Everton has benefitted from an own goal. Obviously Tony Duggan is going to be out for the rest of the season so she's pregnant. That's a fair excuse. Is that a little problem do you think that Everton might have scoring goals because we scored three at Amfield and that was brilliant but it was an own goal against Leicester. It was an own goal against Chelsea. Do you think that might be a little issue that might need to be addressed?  She's such an incredible player but she didn't have that pace and we needed Wingers with that pace to help her. And now we've got that and now she's out for the season. Now we've got Catrice Noyesh as well who's currently out with an injury. I don't know how long she is going to be out for. But Elise Stenovic I think coming last week and she was very good. She was very very good but it is that pace we are lacking up front now. Because I think Benison who obviously scored at Amfield she's a bit more of a technical player she is than under tennis isn't she? And you know I think we've seen in any game in any level of football whatever pace is always the key it can always be the key to the game. But Chelsea is such a strong side aren't they? They have got so many really good players obviously Sam Cair who is their major striker. They are such a difficult team to beat. This is where Everton has struggled I think in the last couple of years isn't it? I know they tried really hard last season by bringing a lot of people in but closing that gap to Arsenal and Chelsea again very much like any Everton side. This seems to be just a little bit of a bridge too far trying to compete with those teams. We've got to realise what level we are on and we've got to realise that we were very close to relegation last season and people have got to realise that it's going to take time for us like the men's. I know but it's going to take time just like the men's team to build on that and improve and obviously we can't be straight away competing with the top teams. We can't be expecting to beat them constantly. Do you think that's more difficult because the league isn't, it's like 12 teams isn't it? It feels like to me it feels like almost every week when you look at the fixtures they're playing like a really tough side. It's just because of the there's less teams in there. It just feels like you're playing in Arsenal or Chelsea or Manchester United have improved loads, Man City are a good team. Villar who haven't played this weekend will speak about month, Dave improved. It just feels like every week is a really tough game. It is but we've got to realise that we do have quality players and we do have that quality in our side to beat these bigger teams. People have got to realise that we can do it and we can show that ability that we have. I think last season it was so, I don't know, you're right because last season they tried to jump about 12 steps at once buying all those players in and then Willy Cakes was, I don't know if they were all Willy Cakes players or wherever but you seem to have just players all over the place and then I think you went through a couple more managers during the season. This season it seems a lot more calm. There's less expectation but I think that's better. But you were at the game and obviously it was a sell out at Walton All Park. People are really excited aren't they now? What was it like down there? Oh my God it was incredible. There was so much noise and such. It was the best atmosphere I think I've seen at Walton All Park and Chelsea brought so many fans. Yeah there was loads and they were dead loud and they'd start singing and a lot of the fumings and they'd start singing and it was so good. I mean this is something that Ian Wright had mentioned because he loves the women's game. He's such a champion for the women's game. I remember him joining the Euros when the fan was on and he was talking about the game needed more money put into it and things like the fixtures needed thought. One of the things he actually said was and it was in reference to Walton All Park he said they needed to start having a way in so that the away fans knew where to go. I've noticed this that more and more fans are travelling and I know the women's supporter group go and I know Peter Mac and people like that go travel all over and they went against the Euros like you self to support the Swedish girls. Do you think that's something that maybe needs to be the next place we go with it because Evan and obviously one of only a couple of teams have got their own grounds. Would you like to see it away in just so that not in terms of like anyone is in danger but just so that the away fans know where they are, the home fans know where they are and you can build that atmosphere? I think our way in would be good because you can obviously have that rivalry between the fans but I also like having it all mixed in because you can talk to the other fans and you can discuss what they think about their team, what you think about your team. I kind of like that sort of atmosphere. That's nice. That's a very grown up way of thinking about it. No, no, that's a really good point. Football is one of the only sports at any level where you do keep the home and the away fans together. If you watch American sports, they don't tend to do that and I noticed that for the Wembley game there's obviously US fans all over the place as well and there is that togetherness. I don't know how long that will last because as the game grows those rivalries will get bigger and people will want their own ends. But one thing I do think is I do think it helps the atmosphere if you've got fans in their own area so they can congregate and do you know what I mean? They can start singing and everything but it was disappointing but Evan will move on and obviously this weekend Evan are away to Villa who started the season really well and they've brought some new players in and they've got some ex-Evan players in their team as well. So Simone Miguel, Kenzie Daly and of course our former club captain Daniel Turner went to Aston Villa which is quite a big disappointment to be fair because Simone Miguel had been there for absolutely years and she was a really good player for us. But she got an injury didn't she in the Oro so she's not available. She'd waited years to play in the Oro for Northern Ireland. I think it was the first game she got a really serious injury so she won't be available and that's really really sad but as you mentioned Evan losing a player like that and obviously we'll face it this weekend. That's sad isn't it? Yeah it really is but she was a very good player for us and I'm sure she's going to do really well for Villa but again we have got now quality players at the back that can come up against Villa and I'm sure we'll be okay. Yeah and it's a difficult game they've invested really well and they've obviously got Alicia Lehman as well who was on loan at Evan from Westbam, she's there as well so I think that's like four different players. Evan I've always had this thing Evan you look at every team and you look at the team, the Oro team, the England team, they've got players who have played for Evan at various, I know there's not loads of teams but Evan just seemed to be this team where players could come up against each other. Players go through so not always to the top but at some stage in the career they've been at Evan and unfortunately had to move on. Yeah we have had some amazing players like Alex Greenwood, Lucy Bronze, Nikita Parris, they've all come through the academy and played for us at different stages and they've done so well obviously with the Lionesses and it is really good to see as we have developed those players we can develop more and we are going to get more quality out of our players I think. Yeah I think Evan and I've got a really good, I've always had a really good youth system and give the opportunity to girls and young women to get involved but this is going to be a tough game as well isn't it? Yeah it really is. They've got a really good striker as well, you've just signed from America Tom, I'm failing on her name come on. Rachel Dailey. There you go, that's why you're here, that's why I've just set you up for that. I think it was a Houston wasn't she? She looks like a really top talent. Yeah to be honest I'm going to put it out that I am really worried to come up against her because she seems to have scored in every game and she's so strong up front and we have got a good defence but she is just an incredible player. Do you think Villa have almost tried to copy in a way what we did last season because obviously that last season I think they were in and around with Evan and were sort of a little bit higher. I think in fact towards the end of the season I think they were jostling for places but this summer they seem to have made a lot of investment. Do you think they are sensing maybe that one of those European places is available? Yeah I think they are because obviously last season as you said we were fighting relegation with them so obviously for them to take some of our players and then get new players in we are quite strong competition with them. So they have in a way followed what we've done and got new players in and like a whole new system. It's going to be a tough game and I think they've already beaten Man City this season. I think they've finished 4-3 something like that. They've got a lot of goals in them. Evan come up against a lot of their former players as well. So have you got a prediction for this one? I'm going to say 2-2. That's always my go-to when I think we are going to get beat as well. That would be a tough game but I think they've done alright this season. I think the team we were top have got 9 points, 7 points, 6 points so they are doing fine. Let's hope they get 3 points. And then what's the next home game after this? Aston Villa. Is that the next home game as well? It's Wednesday the 26th of October in the continental cup. So it's like the league cup isn't it? And obviously the women's game will be getting played I imagine whilst the men's will cups on isn't it? So that's a good opportunity isn't it? For people who may be missing football to go and go down and watch it if they want to watch everything in football. And obviously the reason I mention that as well because we will try and talk before that. The reason I mention that is because the gaming in Chelsea was sold out wasn't it? So if people do want to go, don't think you can just rock up a Walton or Park and get in. And hopefully I hope during the World Cup as well there might be an opportunity for Evans to play Goodson as well. So that would be good, hopefully get more people into the ground and see this new fresh exciting Everton women's team.

Oh good. Locked it. Hey everybody, this is Corporal Madden here with the Pasco County Sheriff's Office. Back with another crime safety tip. Today we're going to talk about locking your doors.   You may know it's there and bad people also look for it, because it's it's not an uncommon thing for people to hide their keys.  As far as doors go, dead bolts are priceless. Dead bolts are equally priceless when you actually use them.   You also want to shut your garage doors, both again when you're home or away. 66% of car burglaries in Pasco County are a direct result of unlocked doors. That's a huge percentage if we can all take our part and lock our doors.


So the Geothermal Energy Association is the member organization for the geothermal companies that are working on geothermal development in the U.S. and abroad as well. The GEA puts out an annual report on what's going on in the U.S. industry, what states and what companies are involved in geothermal development, and really just keeping track of the market and how it's spreading. And we've had increased activity with our companies in exports and in working abroad as well, so we're becoming more involved in really international markets and just educating people on what's out there for geothermal and that it's a very strong market is becoming more and more so. It's the heat of the earth, which is available constantly 24-7. It's a base load resource and our companies are able to tap into that. We have over 3,000 megawatts that's online today in the United States and just continuing to explore different technologies and build on that. We'll talk to members of Congress if they come through. Staff, the public, really anyone just who wants to be a voice for our companies here and a voice for what's going on in the market. We have a lot of educational materials on the benefits of geothermal and we just want to help people to know about it. It's really a big problem right now for geothermalism. People still don't know about it, although it's been in the U.S. for over 50 years. One big problem for geothermal is just the upfront costs and so policies can help to take away that risk for companies, help them so that they can explore the technologies that are then going to make the technologies that they already have more efficient. So policies can help to do that and to just give companies a little bit more absurdity to know that, alright, I can get this tax credit or whatever it is and I know that my company has a little bit more stability for the future.
