Whenever there would be any really catastrophe that was in the movies or on the air, she would say, always look for the helpers. There will always be helpers. Welcome to Values. I'm Shaquille DeWall. This week we're interviewing helpers, people who are continuing to provide their services to the community, and maybe need help from the public in order to respond to the coronavirus pandemic. Today I'm here with Joseph Zanovich of Hope. Joseph, thanks for being here. Thanks for having me. Can you tell me a little bit about Hope? Yeah, absolutely. We're Hope Homeless Outreach here based in Longmont, and we provide outreach services and shelter services for folks experiencing homelessness, and we provide overnight shelter space currently at two churches, both at Journey Church and Faith Point Church here in town. Along with that, like I mentioned, outreach services, case management, we provide nightly meals for folks, showers, and really a place of safety each night. How long have you been serving Longmont? Hope was founded in 2007, and so we've been here in the community quite a while. How many staff members do you have? We have 11 shelter staff members, and we have seven full-time office admin staff. How has the coronavirus pandemic impacted your staffing levels? Well, it certainly put a bit of a stress on our staff, especially our shelter staff and overnight staff. It's something that we're one of the few organizations that have to remain open during this time, and our staff realize that they're dedicated to this cause, but we're human beings, and there's certainly a bit of a fear that goes into this, that we obviously don't want to catch this. So the staff has been pretty resilient, and I've been trying to communicate with them as best as I can as far as maintaining health and self-care during this time, and we as an organization are supporting our staff as any way we possibly can during this time to make sure they have the support that they need. Have the services that you're providing to the homeless population in Longmont changed as a result of the pandemic? Well, believe it or not, not really. Our service model is really based on helping those in need, and I can't think of a greater time in memory that folks really have a need right now. You know, and for our folks experiencing homelessness, their needs don't change, whether it's a pandemic, good times, or bad economy-wise. I mean, basic needs are essential. It's the Maslow's hierarchy of needs, right? It's food, shelter, clothing. Those basic needs have to be met, and so we will continue to do that through this time, and through our outreach efforts, we're going to still get out in the community, obviously being a little more cautious as far as with safety, as far as making sure that our outreach personnel have proper protocols when interacting with folks. But folks still need basic necessities, especially if they're going to be sleeping outside, and this also gives us a chance to interact with them. Some of them may not even realize what's happening. We found this, and some don't have smartphones. Libraries are closed, places where they normally go for an air and access are closed. They may not even realize what's actually happening in the world around them. This gives us a chance to interact with them, let them know, offer cleanliness. We're grateful to receive a large donation of hand sanitizer. A few years ago, it's been sitting in our warehouse. It's coming to great use right now. I'm really excited about it. So we're obviously handing that out, making sure folks stay as clean as possible. We offer showers at our shelter, and so we have a strict shelter protocol when folks come in that they wash, it's a mandatory hand washing, and we try to maintain social distancing as much as you can in a shelter environment. Can you tell me a little bit more about the people that you're serving, the people who are coming in who maybe just need a meal or they need a shower or a place to stay overnight? How are they feeling mentally these days, in term, you know, people who are watching a lot of the news, for example, are feeling a lot of anxiety. How are the people that you serve feeling? Yeah, and the ones that are aware of what's happening around them, there is some anxiety. I mean, being in a shelter environment as it is, even without this happening, is hard. Our shelter is going to hold up to 49 people. Most folks sleep on mats on the full way of a few cots. So you're already in an environment that's very difficult, there's very little privacy. Then you add this element to a shelter environment, and people are worried.  We do our best to calm those measures. We tried to do fun things with our clients, but we did up until this point. We had fun volleyball games we played with folks in our gym at Faith Point. The social interacting part is difficult because this is a community. We want to try to create as calm in this environment as we can, but obviously with the social distancing elements, it's hard. So people are already going through one of the hardest points in their life. Now we add this on top of it, and it's hard. We try to support them as best we can. At the end of the day, there's still human beings that have basic needs, and we need to remember that. And there's a human-level kindness that needs to go into this with folks. So yeah, there is fear. There absolutely is, and that goes from the staff to those staying there. We want to honor that, and we're doing everything we possibly can within our control to offer people safe space. As you've said before, for people who are experiencing homelessness, sometimes they can get otherized by people in the community because they're seen as people outside the community. Even though they are people who live here, who have lived here for a long time, they're people who often have ties to the community, but are simply going through a hard part of their lives. And social isolation can be a real problem for people who are homeless, even outside the current context. Can you talk about the importance of providing that level of social interaction, social support to the people who are using your services? Yeah, that's a great question. This is interesting from a society standpoint that a lot of us right now at society are going through this isolation aspect where we can't communicate with coworkers or outside family to live in the area. So a lot of folks are now experiencing a small taste of what it is to live in an isolated aspect. This is what folks experiencing homelessness go through on a daily basis. And prior to this happening, there is always a judgment of folks who see them on the corner or isolated outside of by themselves. And isolation in dealing with that, it really, in the back of a second there, when we talk about isolation, normally the answer is community. And this throws a whole monkey wrench into the idea of what we normally associate as community. And that's why the shelter operations still have to be very important. We need, when folks are experiencing the lowest point in the lives, community is generally one of the few things that give them some hope. They look forward to coming to the nightly meal and interacting with other folks going through similar experiences they are. And we want to continue that as much as possible. It's really important if someone doesn't have a roof over their head, family around them, or friends they can still communicate with. Removing this isolation as much as we can is going to be really key and vital to one's success, especially during this time, as much as we can. Obviously we're limited when we get that with the social isolation aspects, but we're going to try and try to think outside the box as much as we can so that folks still have that community to them. For people who need access to your services right now, how can they do that? Yeah, so because of the limitation on city and county buildings, we normally operate through a coordinated entry process. They can come by the Hope office, which is still open. It's 804 South Lincoln Street, and we have non-perishable meals. We'll be able to get them set up in the coordinated entry system so they can access shelter services, showers, and meals as needed. So the best thing to do is call our office, go to our website, or come by. And what needs do you have right now, especially in this trying time when a lot of people aren't working, a lot of people are trying to socially distance themselves because they may be at high risk for the coronavirus? What support can the public offer you? Yeah, really from a support level, if you are a current volunteer with the organization, whatever your role is, especially if it's a soup angel providing food for our shelter guests, please try to continue that. Obviously, if you're sick or somebody else will ask you that they discontinue making food, but that is vital to our operation is ensuring that folks have a warm meal each night. And so our volunteers that still come to the shelter, we understand the fears there, and so we have very strict protocols in place as far as cleanliness and isolatory measures as far as when we're serving food and being in the shelter. If you feel safe, please come by. I think that it's really important when we talk about the social isolation aspect to see that folks in the community still care and just seeing a face, even though we may not be able to shake their hands or give them a hug, just seeing a face and know that people still care is really important. And really, I mean, this for us financial donations are going to be really key and vital during this time to really help cover our staff. They're going to be working extra hours to cover the shifts that volunteers normally cover for us. There's going to be added expenses with overtime and just making sure our staff are covered right now. We're going to need that financial support really to get us through this time. If a member of the public wanted to reach you, what would be the best way to do so? Best way to do so, just go to our website at hopeforlongmont.org. There's our contact information. You can send us an email or give us a call at our office and we'll be happy to communicate with them. Joseph, thank you for your time and work. And for everything you're doing for the community, stay healthy. Thank you very much.


Hello, in this presentation we will take a look at multiple choice questions related to the closing process and financial statements. First question. Which of the following are property, plant and equipment? A. Forklift. B. Goodwill. C. Cash. D. Supplies. E. Inventory. Once again, we're going to read the question and then see if we can eliminate and narrow down our choices. Question of. Which of the following are property, plant and equipment? One. A. Forklift. A. Forklift typically, depending on whether we're going to resell it, which would be inventory or not, would be in property, plant and equipment a longer term asset. I'm going to keep that there. I won't select it yet. We'll read through the rest of them. B. Goodwill. You might look at Goodwill and say, I'm not sure exactly what that is. I'm going to keep that there and we'll come back to that one. C. Cash. Cash is a current asset, so I'm pretty sure we're not talking about a current asset. D. Supplies. Supplies also is a current asset, so we're not talking about supplies. E. Inventory. Inventory is also part of the current assets and not a property, plant and equipment. I'm going to cross that out. We're left with A and B. Once again, the question is, which of the following are property, plant and equipment? One are A. Forklift. B. Goodwill. Now over the two, I'm thinking A is going to be in property, plant and equipment, so I'm going to keep that one. It's going to be grouped probably as equipment within property, plant and equipment. B is Goodwill and that has to do with an intangible asset. It may be amortized in a similar way as property, plant and equipment, but it's intangible, representing the idea that we purchased something for greater more money than purchased a company for more money than the assets minus the liability, and therefore it's assumed that we have this intangible asset that's on the books. So it's not that. That's going to be an intangible asset, kind of similar, not the same. Next question. Asset subgroups are, asset subgroups are, A, current assets, property prepaid expenses, long-term investments, fixed assets, B, property, plant and equipment, current assets, intangible assets, C, current assets, long-term investments, property, plant and equipment, intangible assets, D, intangible assets, current assets, long-term investment, property, plant and equipment, and E, current liabilities, long-term investments, property, plant and equipment, intangible assets. Okay, we'll go through this again see if we can eliminate some of these. We're going to say that the assets subgroups. So we're thinking of the balance sheet, we're thinking of the subgroups, and we may want to try to list them ourselves before going through these, and then see if we can see the list that matches up most to what we believe should be there. When we think of the first thing, we're probably thinking that it should be current assets. So that should kind of pop into your mind, current assets is probably going to be the first thing on our list. And then we're going to have maybe long-term assets, and we know property, plants, and equipment is going to be in there somewhere. And then they're mentioning intangible assets, and we'll try to see where that lines up. So the first thing I would do is say, well, current assets, I think is going to be the first thing. And that's just, we probably remember the first thing of the list, that's current assets. So it should start with current assets. B does not. It starts with property, plant, and equipment. So I'm going to eliminate it, eliminate it. And then D starts with intangible assets. So I'm going to eliminate that. And then we're left with three choices that start with current assets. A, current assets, prepaid expenses, long-term investment, and fixed assets. C, current assets, long-term investments, property, plant, and equipment, and then intangible assets. E starts with current liabilities. That kind of tricked me here. They started with current liabilities. That's a liability, not an asset at all. So it's not going to be E. And so we're left with just A and C. So once again, we're looking for the asset subgroups, the subgroups on the balance sheet for assets. First one says, A says, current assets, prepaid expenses, long-term investment, and fixed assets. Whereas C says, current assets, long-term investments, rather than prepaid, and then property, plant, and equipment, and then intangible assets. So I think that sounds more the proper way. The first one says, current asset, prepaid expenses are actually a form of current assets, long-term investments, and then the fixed assets. And we don't have intangible assets at all listed here. Whereas C says, current assets, and then long-term investments is included. That seems reasonable. Property, plant, and equipment. After the long-term investments, we know that those should be towards the bottom because they're depreciable long-term assets. And then intangible assets, we may not fully know what those are, but those are things that we're going to amortize or things that aren't tangible, but we know have value to the company like patents and Goodwill and whatnot. And so C looks like the best answer. So once again, asset subgroups are C, current assets, long-term investments, property, plant, and equipment, intangible assets. Next question, which is not true? A, all temporary accounts are closed. That's actually true. We're going to, within the closing process, we're going to close all temporary accounts. I'm actually going to cross that one out. B, because we're looking for what is not true here, what is not true. B, temporary accounts will have zero balances at period beginning. Now that's kind of tricky because I was expecting it to say period end, but it is true that, of course, if we close something out at the end of the period to zero, it will also have at the beginning of the next period, zero. We need to start at zero to count up. We need to close back down to zero at the end of the period, at the end of the month or year to prepare for the next time. So I believe that is true. So we're going to say cross that one out. That one looks good. C, the income summary account is a clearing account. Now you may not know what a clearing account is, but we'll go back to that one. D says the real accounts remain open. So real accounts, we're not sure about that term, but so I'll keep that one there. And then E says permanent accounts are closed. Now the one that looks best to me is this one here, the permanent accounts are closed because that's not true for sure. The permanent accounts are not closed. Those are going to be the balance sheet accounts and we are in the closing process type of topics here. So the permanent accounts are going to remain open. So I think this would be the one. D, I'm not fully sure if this is true or not. Real accounts remain open because this term real accounts doesn't doesn't seem correct. You know, something within our section here, but I'm saying E is the more correct answer. So I'm going to cross that one out. I'm a little skeptical about this one. And then C says the income summary account is a clearing account. So the income summary account is a clearing account. And that's going to be that one account that we're used in the four step closing process. We have to add it there. And the reason it's a clearing account, you can also call it a temporary account because it will be closed out at the end of the process. But it's kind of more than a temporary account because it really has a zero balance, like in the same day, almost in the same time period. We only use it during the closing process. So it's not like it has anything in it for the entire month. It only has something in it for one specific purpose, that one specific job, and will be zero within, you know, that one day of doing the closing process. And that's why it would be more defined as a clearing account, although it could be called a temporary account, because it will be closed out at the end of the time period as well. So once again, E answer and question and answer is, which is not true. E permanent accounts are closed. Next question. Which of the following are current assets? A. Buildings. B. Goodwill. C. Revenue. D. Land. E. Supplies. Once again, the question then we'll cross off some of these items. Which of the following are current assets? A. A building. Not a current asset. That's going to be a long term asset. It'll be property, plant, and equipment. B. Goodwill. Again, we might not know what that is, so I'm going to keep that one there for now. C. Revenue. Revenue is on the income statement, so that's not a current asset. D. Land. That's going to be property, plant, and equipment, not current long term. We're going to have that for a long period of time. And E is supplies. Supplies looks pretty good. We're going to use that fairly quickly. So we're left with B and E. Question once again, which of the following are current assets? B. Goodwill. E. Supplies. Of the two, supplies sounds like a current asset to me. If we don't know what Goodwill is, then I would choose supply because it sounds better. Goodwill is an intangible asset, however, and it happens when a purchase of a company, if we purchase the company and we pay more than the asset minus the liability price, it's assumed that there's some intangible asset within that company, possibly the name of the company or the brand that has Goodwill with it, and that's what we're buying when we pay more than just the asset minus the liability price of the company.


HELLO NAMASKARAM I have done two videos in the last one. After that, I will tell you how to choose a career option in the future. Some of you have seen that video. There is no possibility to try many options. So, they have to do only one thing before they attempt to do it. They have to study how to do it, they have to go to a coaching centre to study it or prepare it for themselves. They have to study any book. Only dental pulse is enough. So, they have to see the video. So, if you want to study books, I will give the details in the description. Basically, we study dental pulse. We have created a foundation in dental pulse. After that, there are many other books. The details are in the description. So, there is no need to explain more about it. Then, we have to go to a coaching centre to study it or prepare it for ourselves. So, my thoughts on going to a coaching centre. We are a competitive exam. We are not like a theory paper. We are not like writing skill or time management. We don't have any tips to score more. We have objective questions. We are only testing memory power. So, in such a pattern, if we usually score 60-70% we can reach 80-90% of these 60-70. It will definitely help you in a good coaching centre. So, they will have an expertise. They will train you properly. You will reach that track. They will ask you questions about what kind of positions, what kind of areas you should study and stress. How you should approach it. Neat patterns change a lot. There are many types of descriptive questions. So, you will have more problems. When you go with that strategy, you can score more easily. You can do it better if you study alone. So, it is a job to develop skills. There are coaching centres. Ultimately, you should study. If you haven't studied, there is nothing to it. So, you can improve your performance by 10-20% If you expect less than 500-300% you should definitely go to a coaching centre. Otherwise, you will be able to score 1,000-2,000 lakhs. But if you go ahead, you will have more techniques to score. So, you won't be able to study if you study alone. Neat patterns have changed a lot. So, they can easily tell you about these patterns. So, even if you study alone, they can help you a little better. There are many centres. There is a well-known centre in Bangalore. There are online live classes. So, coaching centres will always be helpful. You will be able to reach the coaching centre in advance. There are lots of teaching places in some places. There is a place where a teacher gives all the subjects. So, you can opt for any. So, you can follow that. You can set a track. Otherwise, you won't be able to go ahead. If you are able to do it properly, there is one thing about coaching centres. They don't have the magic to get a good rank. Ultimately, you can study that. If you think about it, you will be able to go ahead. So, there are a lot of coaching centres. I am doing the details of the books in the description. You are ready to study. You have complete dedication. You are very focused. If you want a less than 500 rank, you can definitely join the coaching centre. If you follow that pattern, you will be able to reach there. So, you can study properly. You can get a good rank. But, when you go ahead, you can definitely help the coaching centre. So, that's all. Thank you.


That takes some brass to cold call live on video. I don't know anybody else in the industry that does that. You know what I've heard 8,000 times? I'm not interested. What does that mean? What are they interested in? What are they not interested in? What do you expect a client to say when you call them and try to pitch them or try to sell them something? You know what I expect them to say? Whether I call a lead or whether I cold call, I expect for them to give me an objection. I expect for them to say that I'm not interested. I expect for them to put me off. I expect for them to give me a rebuttal, something random that they don't even mean. 95% when you call a client, 95% of what they say that's off the cuff. They don't mean. It's not real. It's fake. The sooner you realize the better you will be at leads, at cold calling. I generated four file expense leads from cold calling over like 30 minutes. Agents are failing. Thousands of agents are failing every single day and starving and struggling. It's because we don't know what we're doing and no one's honest with you about what you should do when you call someone. You know what I do when someone says they're not interested? I act like it never happened. I ignore it. It's not real. They don't mean it. They don't know anything. They don't have enough information to be interested yet. There's nothing going on. I haven't said anything yet. You know what I've said is, hey, my name's Cody. I'm not interested. If that's the responses that we're getting, how do they know they're not interested? When you go by a car, when you go to the grocery store, when you go to the mall to buy jeans and someone says, hey, can I help you? What are you going to say? I'm just looking. You don't have enough information. Honestly, you go into the store to buy something. You've got jeans in your mind. You've got something on your mind that you're planning on purchasing or that you're at least wanting to look at, but you say you're just looking because it's a knee-jerk reaction. It's what we normally do. It's our normal response when people try to sell us something. When people try to pitch us. And we feel like someone's trying to get us to buy something.  Just continue. I get aged all the time and say, hey, I'm calling these leads and these people are saying they already own life insurance. That's fantastic. That's awesome. I want leads to own life insurance because they already believe in the product. I'm going to get in the home no matter what. I don't care if they own it. Leads are, to me, leads are better if they already own the product that I'm pitching because they believe in it. They've been paying for it. I don't have to worry about them dropping it. I don't have to worry about a charge back. I don't have to worry about losing money. They already believe in it. They already pay for it. They already own it. I think it's freaking brilliant. And the sooner you realize that just because they already own life insurance doesn't mean that they won't see an insurance agent, the sooner that you'll actually have some success with leads. You get excuses. You get rebuttals. You get complaints every single day when you make calls, when you doorknock. But what will determine, I'm a huge fan of SBY, what will determine your results and what you get out of your calls and your doorknocks is how you respond when they give you an objection. I'm a big believer in, hey, you don't know what they're going to say and you can't control what they're going to say. But what you can control is how do you respond to what they say. Stop believing everything everyone says. Stop laying over and letting them tell you no and letting them say I'm interested. Fight through that. Your survival is on the line. Fight through the mess, the madness and make the sale. Get in the home. Quit just giving up when people say I'm not interested or they already have insurance or I'm already covered. Like, the two most common objections I got last night when I was live cold calling for foul expense. I already have coverage. It's taken care of. I already have life insurance or whatever. It's all the same objection and I'm not interested. I generated leads from cold calling that said they were not interested. I know that's like super shocking, but believe it or not, no matter what they say, you can still overcome it and get what you want. I'm going to go buy some computers and when they ask me, hey, can I help you, sir? I'll probably say I'm just looking. But dude, I ain't looking. I'm going to buy two computers. Yeah, like last night I was saying, hey, this is Cody from Senior Benefits. I'm not interested. The reason we're calling is you may qualify. I just ignore it. Like, hey, you may qualify for something. Did we get this new information to you yet? They're like, well, dude, I don't know. Well, you know what?  Perfect. We will do that. My job is to make sure that the local filled underwriter gives you a call so that he can give you the new information. So I'm assuming it's okay for a phone call. So should he call you morning, evening, which is better? What's this about? This is about getting you the new information about the new state-of-proof final expense plans. Whatever you want. It's important. A lot of people in the Lebanon area have been all about it. So should we give that it's just a it's a free phone call. It's free information. I know you want it. So I want to make sure that we get it to you. Would you rather morning or evening? Morning. But what's this about again? We'll go over it. We'll go over it in the phone call. I'll make sure that you have all the information, everything you need. Like, people are going to continue to give you your bottles, man. If you don't know what to say, if you're not quick on your feet, if you just give up, if you think that they actually aren't interested. Agents believe and you believe that people actually aren't interested. They responded to the ad. What I don't care what lead source you use. If the lead source is honest and ethical and if they're actually giving you people that actually responded from an ad in some way, whether it was mail, online, phone call, whatever, if that source and vendor is ethical and you know that they're actually giving you real people that responded, then it's on you. If they say I'm not interested or already have coverage and you don't see them. It is your fault as an agent. You got to be quick. You got to know what to say.  You got to be confident. Like, when DJ gave me excuses, if I thought about it for even a freaking second, they're going to re... Dude, I told you I'm not interested and they would hang up. Like, if he says, hey, I'm not interested and I'm like, well, you know, I just really like to, you know, dude, they're off the phone, role play, get freaking good at this. It's your life. It's your dream. It's your livelihood, your legacy, your family that's on the line.


Hello it's Missy! Thank you for watching! I wanted to share a half-up style for today's video. Let me know what you think down below in the comment section. Like and subscribe if you're new. Click that notification bell as always and let's get started! Begin this hairstyle by parting the hair in the center or near the center. Then divide out any hair that you'd like to leave out to frame the face. Now pick up a section of hair next to the hairline to use for the braid. Divide this section into three equal pieces and begin a regular braid crossing the side strands once over the middle strand. After the initial stitch of the braid, begin incorporating new sections of hair into the braid on both the left and the right sides. Continue crossing the side strands over the middle strand while also bringing in new sections from along the top of the head and from along the hairline. This will create the French braid style of braid. Cross the side strand over the middle, pick up a new section of hair and cross it over bringing it into the middle strand. Then cross the other side strand over the middle, pick up a new section of hair and cross it over bringing it into the middle strand as well. After three sections have been brought into the braid on both sides, stop adding in pieces from the top of the head and only bring in hair from along the hairline. This will switch the braid to a lace style braid and it will just help it lay a little bit more smoothly around the back of the head when it's time to be pinned up. Continue braiding the hair down the left side of the head, bringing in sections until the braid reaches the left ear. Now stop adding in additional pieces and continue braiding the section in a regular three strand braid. You want to braid it down enough so it'll reach around to the back of the head. Then slide a couple bobby pins over the bottom of the braid so it doesn't unravel. Now repeat those steps and create the same braid on the right side of the head. Begin by dividing off a section of hair on the right side of the part and split it into three equal pieces. Cross the side strands over the middle strand and after the initial stitch of the braid, begin incorporating sections of hair into both sides of the braid. Cross the side strand over the middle. Pick up a new section of hair and cross it over, bringing it into the middle strand. Then cross the other side strand over the middle. Pick up a new section of hair and cross it over, bringing it into the middle strand as well. Cross the side strands over the middle strand. Then cross the other side strand over the middle. Pick up new sections of hair and bring them into the braid as well on each crossover of the side strands. Work your way down along the right side of the head until three sections have been brought into both sides of the braid. Cross the side strand over the middle, pick up a new section of hair and cross it over bringing it into the middle strand. Then cross the other side strand over the middle, pick up a new section of hair and cross it over bringing it into the middle strand as well. After three sections have been brought into the braid on both sides, stop adding in pieces from the top of the head and only bring in hair from along the hairline. This will switch the braid to a lace style braid and it will just help it lay a little bit more smoothly around the back of the head when it's time to be pinned up. And once the braid reaches this point, continue braiding the section in a regular three strand braid until it can reach around the back of the head. So cross one side over the middle, then cross the other side over the middle, working down towards the ends of the section. Then slide a bobby pin or two over the end of the braid. Once both braids are done, you're going to pin up the braids now. First, divide off the crown section and get this pinned in place. So divide off the top section of hair at the crown, combine it together at the center of the back of the head, slightly twist the section together and then slide bobby pins into the right side and the left side of the twist. This will ensure the hair is held in place but the pins are hidden underneath the hair. Now take the left braid, create a gap in the braid where it hits at the center of the back of the head. Take the right braid and pull this through the gap so the two braids are intertwined together and sit right over the pinned portion of the crown section. Now pin the braids in place by tucking the ends underneath themselves and sliding pins in through the middle of the braids. This will secure them at the back of the head along with the top crown section. Then you can go back and remove any extra bobby pins from the ends of the braids and unravel them so they blend in with the rest of the hair. Thank you so much for watching!

What was Gary Becker's biggest mistake? His biggest mistake was his greatest virtue, which was a unfailing commitment to the rationality assumption. So I love Gary Becker as a person and as a scholar, you know, he's in the pantheon, but his insistence on human rationality was both what made him as fantastic as he was, but also let him astray. So I'll give you a term for it. It's actually recently invented by Matthew Rabin, a behavioral economist. The term is explain-o-ations, and the term means suppose you have a situation where people, let's say, value a coffee mug that they've been given more than a coffee mug that their neighbor has been given. That's an anomaly that there's an immediate increase in value once you get the thing. An explain-o-ation might say something like, well, there's transaction costs in trading, which is desperate. It's an explain-o-ation. It's not an explanation. And Gary Becker was both in his writing and even more in person, a master of the explain-o-ation, where he'd come up with some account which had surface credibility, so he could say it, but nah.


So to find the oil viscosity at pressures above the bubble point, we're going to be using equations 3.56 and 3.57. So the viscosity of oil is going to equal to our viscosity of our oil at bubble point, which we have right here, times our pressure of interest, which for our case is going to be 4,000 psi divided by our bubble point pressure, which is going to be 2,634 to the C power. And the constant C comes from the equation 2.6 times the pressure of interest, which is going to be 4,000. So it's going to be P to the 1.187 e to the negative 11.513 plus 8.98 times 10 to the negative fifth times your pressure of interest again, which is going to be 4,000. So C is going to equal to, so C will be equal to 0.3424. And plugging the C into the equation above and using the viscosity of oil at bubble point 0.3778, we're going to get 0.3778. Remember, the pressure will be 4,000 psi. That's the pressure of interest here divided by our bubble point pressure. So we get our viscosity of our oil at 4,000 psi. It's going to be equal to 0.4358 centerpiece. And once we find that, we are pretty much done with all the oil properties. Next, we can start working on the gas properties. And like I said earlier, there is no free gas above bubble point. So there is no such thing as viscosity of your gas. There's no gas formation volume factor density of gas. Those really don't exist when your pressure is above bubble point. So we kind of ignore them for the PVT table. So the only pressures of interest we're going to have for the gas properties is going to be at 2,000 psi. And so the first thing we'll do is we'll find our compressibility factor, which also known as Z factor. So this is used a couple steps. So the first thing you're going to need to do is find what your critical pressure is and what your critical temperature is of the fluid. And you do this by using your specific gravity of your gas. It's going to be in equations 3.60 and 3.61. And once you find what PPC is, so your critical pressure of your gas and then your critical pressure of your gas, you're going to be finding your pseudo-reduced temperature and your pseudo-reduced pressure, which is just your pressure of interest or your temperature of interest divided by your critical pressure and your critical temperature. So I'll write that on the board. So to find your pseudo-reduced temperature, it's going to be the temperature of your, well, it's going to be a 580 ranking. So for these, we're going to be using ranking. So it's going to be 580 and it's going to be divided by your TPC. And then so for T, sorry, PPR, so here, so for PPR, it's going to equal P over PPC. And an important note is kind of out of the scope of this class is, so for our case for standing cats anyway, you'll see the temperature, your reduced temperature is always going to be greater than 1. You can have a pseudo-reduced temperature less than 1, but in this isotherm, we'll actually be passing through like the two-phase region, which then it gets crazy with Z-factor, then you have to worry about the Z-factor of liquids, but I don't believe we'll be worrying about that. So our case is if your TPR is less than 1, you might want to check your units to make sure you're using ranking or something might be wrong. And remember to get to ranking, you have your Fahrenheit, you add 460 to have your Fahrenheit is to get to ranking. And so we can find what our TPC is and our PPC is using equation 3.60 and 3.61 where our input is a specific gravity of gas. So for PPC, we're going to have the equation 756.8 minus 131 times specific gravity of gas. For a lot of these things we've talked about, you're mainly going to see these in 410 stuff we've done so far. And now stuff like we're doing with Z-factor, you'll start seeing also 475, PNG 410, PNG 475, maybe a little bit of PNG 405. And these concepts will build on each other as you get to later classes like 430 and 480. But this is actually a really good introduction to those classes. You already have some background information going in. So this is this equation that we're going to have minus 3.6 have specific gravity of the gas squared. And so for our TPC, it's going to be 169.2 plus 349.5 times specific gravity of gas minus 74 times specific gravity of gas squared. So our specific gravity of gas is going to be 0.7. And so you're only going to have one PPC so critical temperature and critical pressure of the fluid for the scope of this class. And so for our PPC, we will be getting PPC will equal 663.336 PSIA. Critical temperature will be your TPC will equal 377.59 ranking. And so using these equations up here for your pseudo-reduced pressure and pseudo-reduced temperature, we know that the temperature is going to be 580. So we can just plug that in right now. TPR is going to equal 580 over our TPC, which is going to be 377.6. Which is going to give us a value about 1.5366. And then for our PPR, it's going to be, like I said, our pressure of interest is going to be below the bubble point because these don't really exist above the bubble point because you're not going to have free gas. So that's why we're going to do it for 2000 PSI. So our PPR is going to be 2000 PSI over 663.336, which is going to equal, and these are units of PSI going to equal about 3. And these are the reduced properties of their unit list because you're dividing by the same, or have the same units on the numerator and denominator. And so once you have your reduced temperature and reduced pressure, you look at your standing catch chart to find where they intersect to find your Z value. And so on your standing catch chart, it's only valid for, like I said, reduced temperatures above one. So how Z works, or I guess this is Z, this is going to be your pseudo-reduced pressure. So each line you see on your standing catch chart is for a different isotherm, meaning you have the same temperature. So for this case, we have one temperature, so it just means we'll have one line. And so it might look something like this. And so as you notice with standing catch, there's two different axes. There's a top and the bottom. The reason there's two different ones is to model the graph in different ways. So like your top of your graph will be for, like, lower pseudo-reduced pressure. So say from, like, here to here. And then at the bottom of your graph, you have greater pseudo-reduced pressures, which is going to, like, model from, like, here to here. And so it's just a different way to have the graph so, like, models different parts of your compressibility factor. So for our case, we have a pretty low pseudo-reduced pressure, so it's going to be falling within the first area of the range. And so when we look at standing catch chart, we find that our z factor for 2000 psi will be 0.825. So pretty close to 0.83 for our z factor. And so this z factor will be used to find things such as your density of your gas. So I can just write that up here, your equation. So your density of your gas is going to be pressure times your molecular weight of your gas divided by z, r, t, where t is in ranking, z is your compressibility factor you just found, r is a constant, which is 10.73, p is your pressure of interest, which in this case is going to be 2000 psi, and your molecular weight, I'll show you how to calculate right now. So you have a specific gravity of your gas, which is relative to your density of air, which is 28.97 pounds per pound mole, I believe is the, yeah, pound per pound mole. So it's going to be your molecular weight of your gas divided by your molecular weight of air, which is going to be equal 28.97 pounds per pound mole. This is a little different for liquids. For liquids, your specific gravity is relative to the density of water. And so it would be specific gravity like oil, for example, is equal to your density or oil divided by density of water, which water density is going to be one gram per cc. And so that's why oil floats on top of water, meaning it's less dense, and that's why your specific gravity, the gravities of your oil you see are less than one. And so for example, we found r is to be 0.81556. So to get the molecular weight of our gas, we know what our gamma g is, it's 0.7. We know what our molecular weight of our air is, it's 28.97. We just multiply the two to get our molecular weight of our gas. So the molecular weight of the gas will be 20.279 pound per pound mole. And then we can plug that into this equation right here to find what our density is at 2000 psi of the gas. So we know our pressure is 2000. Molecular weight is 20.279. We know that z is 0.825. We know that r is 10.73, and r is just a conversion factor. And then temperature is going to be in ranking, which is going to be 580. Oh, that's right, that's right. We've got density of the gas to be 7.8994 pound per foot cubed. And another thing you may see in the notes a lot of times is 5.615. This is just a conversion to go between cubic feet and barrels. And so basically if you have a value that's let's say you have one barrel, but you want to turn it into cubic feet, you just multiply this by 5.615. Because the units of this are the cubed and a barrel. And similarly if you have like say two cubic feet and you want to convert the barrels, you just divide by the 5.615. All that is is a unit conversion factor. From here we can find our gas formation volume factor, which is BG. And so this is somewhat similar. You'll see this used in later classes like 475, 410, and especially in like 430. And so BG, I'll just write it up here while I have some space. BG is going to be equal to, like I said you can have this like in feet cubed, or you can have it like in terms of like barrels for like SCF. However you would like to notation, it just depends if you want to have the 5.615 in there or not. So BG is going to equal Z times your temperature of your reservoir fluid times your pressure at standard conditions which is 14.7 psi. Your temperature at standard conditions which is 60 degrees Fahrenheit or 520 degrees ranking.  So in our case for 2000 psi we're going to have 0.825 times like temperature of reservoir which is going to be 580 because this has to be in ranking. 580 times 14.7 divided by 520 times like I said it's going to be a 2000 psi. So our BG is going to be 0.00676. And because we didn't have the 5.615 in this case it's going to be feet cubed per SCF. If you want it in terms of barrel per SCF you just have a 5.615 term right there to make into barrels per SCF. And so if you think about it it makes sense that your BG should be a pretty low value because gas is very compressible and so like if you have a large volume of gas you can compress it to a small volume. But if you just let it out to like room temperature conditions like it's going to expand a lot so your relative volume of your gas in the reservoir compared to gas at standard conditions is going to be very small. So for equations such as this and these they can be derived from the real gas. The difference between real gas and ideal gas is real gas has a compressibility factor Z which really all it is is a correction factor to get it towards like what it would be like as ideal. So that's what like Z factor is it's just a correction factor. And so with this equation for example your molecular weight ZRTP and rho G if you take the N over the other side you have V over N and then N can be looked at in terms of mass over molecular weight. And so you have this N over here so this molecular weight can actually be multiplied over to the left hand side so you have P times V times molecular weight equals Z times mass RT and since you have mass here and you have V over here you can divide your V over and so we know that mass over volume is going to be density and so rearranging the equation you can get density equals your pressure times molecular weight divided by ZRT. And then from this point we can actually find what our viscosity of our gas would be. So the molecular weight of gas is going to be used to find the viscosity of gas and so we had our molecular weight of gas to be 20.279 so I'm just going to write that over here. 20.279.


Hi everyone, my name is Melanie Mark. I'm the Minister for Advanced Education, Skills and Training. I'm here in Victoria. I've just ended a province-wide tour visiting all 25 public post-secondary institutions and it's been an incredible privilege to hear from students, not only telling me about their aspirations, hopes and dreams, but also the concerns on their mind, what they wanted me to know as Minister. So I have to assure you that Premier John Horgan and I are listening and that we are going to do everything we can to address things like housing, student debt and mental health. So whether you're just getting started or whether you're taking that big leap to come back to school, I just hope that you reach for the stars, do everything you can to reach for your dreams and know that people like us are on your side. Have a great day and I wish you all the best.


Hey Abbott, what time is it? It's time for the Abbott and Costello Show. We're on the air for ABC here in Hollywood. Well, what are we waiting for? Let's go with the Abbott and Costello Show. Yes, it's the Abbott and Costello Show, produced and transcribed in Hollywood tonight for your listening pleasure with Susan Miller and Maddie Baldex Orchestra. So, hold on to your chairs, folks, for here they are, but Abbott and... Where did you get that new car in the parking lot? Oh, I bought it from an old lady in Pasadena. I gave her $500 on a bonus. You had to give the old lady a bonus? Yeah, but was it? An old man. That's William Lou. Say, by the way, why is your Uncle Mike going over to that water cooler so much? He drank a gallon of water. Abbott, I never saw a man as thirsty as Uncle Mike. He drinks about $10 a water a day. Then, at night, he goes into the living room, sits down in his favorite rocking chair. Then, what does he do? He just sits there in rocks and sloshes. Well, maybe it's because your Uncle Mike sailed on the ocean for so many years. He sailed all around the world, didn't he? Oh, yes, yes, indeed, yes. He got a lot of souvenirs too, Abbott. He did. He's got a diamond from South Africa, a jade necklace from China, a whale bone sword from Alaska, and a hula skirt from Hawaii. Wait a minute. Where did he get that shrunken head? That's the barber's fault. He keeps putting those darn hot towels on him.  I beg your pardon?  You can't say that about me, Abbott. My family dates back to the pilgrims. We're all blue bloods. Who cares about ancestors or heredity? I wouldn't care if my grandfather was a baboon. No, but it would make a lot of difference to your grandmother. I don't get smart, Castella. I'll have to slap you down. Oh, yeah? Yeah. I'll have the stuff as you are, and maybe tougher. I'm so tough I could take Joe Lewis apart and see what makes him tick. I could take Jack Dempsey apart too. Any champ in your name I can handle. How about the swimming champ? Mr. Williams, could you take her apart? Look, Abbott, anything put together that good don't need tinkering with you. There are the beans tonight, and they'll be back on it in just about one minute. But first, let's hear this. How did you get those circles under your eyes? Well, I didn't sleep good last night. My brother packed him over to sleep with me, and he brought over his pet skunk and his two goats, and they slept at the foot of the bed. The air was terrible in that bedroom. Well, why didn't you open the window? What, let my pigeons fly away? Why did you open the door? Every time I opened the door, my pigs went out. Did you get any sleep at all? No, I stayed up until 6 o'clock in the morning reading the dictionary. You read the dictionary all night? Yeah, I couldn't wait to see how it ended.  The next thing you'll be telling me that you're reading the Los Angeles telephone record. That I wouldn't do. That's good. I'm waiting until they make a movie out of it. I can't sleep at night reading all that junk. Well, I'm not the only one who can't sleep. My aunt may as up all night. What's she got in the stomach? No, before she goes to bed, she puts on face cream, hand cream, vanishing cream, body cream, and foot cream. Well, how does that keep her awake? She keeps sliding out of the bed. We've got to move out of that house, Sabbath. I haven't slept the night since we lived there. I keep looking out the window at that blonde that lives across the street. Why don't you pull down the shade? I can't reach across the street.  I thought you were interested in Susan Miller. Well, no, I'm mad at her. She went in the store yesterday and bought her hat and made me pay for it. Why you cheapskate? I'm a cheapskate, eh? You're the cheapskate, Abbott.  Well, how does that make me a cheapskate? Ten cents you could have baited the trap with real cheese. Right. Just the same. You shouldn't object to buying Susan a new hat. After all, a hat is a woman's crown and glory. When a woman walks down the street, what do you notice first? Her figure? No. Her face? No. Her legs? No. You notice her hat? Look, Abbott, all the kids are in bed now. Let's give the right answer.  I've been putting in a lot of overtime, Levy. You wouldn't be so ignorant if you read the papers and kept up with what's going on. I read the papers. All right, then, tell me. What do you think of universal military training? I don't think it's fair. Why? If universal is going to have military training, they should give it to RKO, MGM, Republic, Columbia, Monoclon, and Fox. To say nothing of Eagle Line in National Studios.  Universal military training is designed to put more young men in the army. I hope that they put me in the army to give me back my old job. What's that? Deserter. You were a deserter in the army? Oh, I was just kidding, Abbott. I was one of the bravest guys in the army. In all the battles, I was right with a bull's foot of thickest. Where was that? Underneath the ammunition truck. That's what I thought. I just threw that in. I should have thrown it out. I think you should have. Oh, Mr. Costello. Mr. Costello. Mr. Costello. Say, would you like to go out on a double date with me tonight? Who are the girls? Well, there are a couple of hula dances from Salt Lake City. They got hula dances in Salt Lake City? Yes, with all that salt. They've got to have a few shakers. How do you like that? He forgot to tell me where to meet him.  Costello, the only thing that will cure you is marriage. I was like you wouldn't till I got my wife on a string. Not a string. You should have had her on a leash. Right. I don't want to get married anyway, Abbott. Married life is like driving the wrong way on a one-way street. Why? Everybody starts shelling at you when it's too late to back out. Anyway, I'm too young to get married. I'm only 21, and I don't know my own mind. You don't know your own age either. Just a minute, please. You don't know your own age? Show me in the script where it says that. It's not in there, that's all. Wait till I get back. All right. I'm here.  You made it up so wide. You know, I like to get off a good joke, too. You better get off that one before it hatches. We keep this up so I can throw my script away. You're reading a script? I understand that Betty Grable asked you for a date last night. Yes, but I turned it down. Why? She's no Heddy Lamar, you know. Then why don't you go out with Heddy Lamar? She's no Lana Turner.  She's no Betty Grable. Wait a minute, Costello. We're right back where we started. I know, but look where we've been. Look, why don't you... Why don't you quit chasing girls and propose to Susan Miller? I did have it. I took her for a ride last night and I asked her to marry me. Did she answer you in the affirmative? No, she answered me in the car.  Did her answer coincide with that hope? Why should she go inside with hope? She was sitting outside in the car with me. Listen, Costello, please. Let Hope get his own girl. All right, listen to me. I'm only trying to find out the result. How about the girls we had last night? You and I. All right, let's not talk about that. You had no kick coming. I'm not kicking. You had the best look of them. All right. Yours had teeth. All right. Yours had teeth, too. Did you see that tooth? Yeah, I saw that tooth. Mine had so much bridge work every time I kissed her, I had to pay toll. All right, let it go. I'm trying to find out the result of your proposal. I'm always trying to find my place again, Tom. It's not Susan to marry. Right. All right. Right. Right. So I'm trying to find out how you proposed. Were you poetic? Poetic. Yeah. I was poetic. You were? I wrote her a beautiful poem. That's swell. Goes like this. To Susan Miller. Susan, our marriage would be so dandy, as sweet as a five-pound box of candy. I'll be your pop and you'd be my lollies. Just like Thibba McGee and Molly. Look, Castell, it's Susan Miller. Susan, you look wonderful tonight. In parentheses, sniffs. Do I smell Christmas night? I don't know, Castello. I've never been out with you on Christmas night. I'm out with him every night. That's wonderful perfume you have on Abbott. What is that? This air? Yes. Oh, Chanel. $10 a bottle. $10 a bottle.  What is that? Ketchup. Susan, that's a lovely dress you're wearing. Thank you. I knitted it myself. It certainly cleans, doesn't it? Yes. It looks like it's afraid to let go. Susan, if you want to let me $10, I'll take you out tonight. Castello, I never lend money. Lending money breaks friendship. Money is the root of all evil and you should never let money stand in the way of a friendship. Now, which would you rather have? The money or my friendship? Could you let me have it in small bills? I'm on you trying to borrow money from Susan. Here, I'll give you $10. Now, where are you going to take Susan? To some high-class spot where we can rumba. Castello, do you know how to rumba? Oh, sure. Just get out on the floor and make out like you've got a broken crankshaft. How about a Susan? Is it a date? Oh, I'm not going out with you on borrowed money.  Why don't you get a job? Well, I had a job as a grease monkey, but I quit. Why? I found out you can't make no money greasing monkeys.  Castello, why don't you set your invention? You can make some money that way. Castello, you have an invention? Oh, sure. Good one, too. I invented a new safety match. No matter what you do to it, you can't strike it. It won't light and it won't burn. Well, what's a match like that good for? It's for people that don't smoke. Hey, Castello, why don't you take Susan down to the beach? That won't cost you any money. No? No money at all, huh? Well, nothing doing. I was down at the beach last Sunday. I fell asleep on a sand and butter that I get sunburned. Were you really sunburned? Susan, I was so red when I woke up, a lobster was trying to drag me under a boardwalk.  Why don't you take Susan to the beach? Nothing doing. Every time I go to the beach, I get hurt. The last time I went in swimming, a crab bit one of my toes off. Which one? How do I know? What do you mean? Why don't you take Susan to the beach and stop all this following your hour? Oh, it's no use, bud. Castello isn't my type. The man I want must be romantic. He must see me as a drifting boat without a sail on the storm-tough sea of life. And he must pilot me into the harbor of matrimony. You don't want a man. You want the coast guard. Sorry, Castello, but the kind of man I could go for is the outdoor type, the type you see down at the beach. That's the guy that rings the bell for me. I knew it, Abbot. She's in love with a good humor man. Castello, I'm speaking of the lifeguard. Goodbye. Well, Castello, it looks like the only way you can win Susan is to become a lifeguard. I'll do it, Abbot. I can see myself now plunging into the sea, dragging beautiful, beautiful dames all out of the water to safety. I'll be the lacquenvar of Long Beach, the pride of Pismo, the octopus of Ocean Park. Now you're talking. There's only one thing that might hold me back. What's that? I can't swim. And as the plot thickens, we'll ring down the curtain on the nonsense just long enough to bring you this message. Here's Susan Miller and Matthew Malnick's Orchestra. Yes, and here's a good place to use them. Here they are, folks, the musical talent of the Abbot and Castello show. This can't be love because I feel so well. Love, I get no dizzy spare and still just... Boy, my sister Olive is going to let you use her swimming pool so you can learn how to swim and become a lifeguard. Who knows? You may turn out to be one of the greatest swimmers in the country. Yeah, Abbot. I'll be the next thing that's to Williams. You dummy, that's to Williams as a girl. You mean you'll be next to Johnny Weismiller. You get next to who you like and I'll get next to who I like. Oh, never mind. Let's go in this store. I'm going to buy you a bathing suit. Yeah, Abbot. They got nice things in the store. There's a red bathing suit that would fit me. That's not a bathing suit. That's a suit of long underwear. Oh, shucks. And I was figuring on carrying my water wings in that big back pocket. Come on, Castella. Oh, Clark. My friend Castella here would like to get a bathing suit. What would you suggest? Well, with his shape, I'd recommend a pair of trunks. Trunks? Yes. They're the only things that accommodate the excess baggage you're carrying. Now, listen, you don't have to come into the store and get myself in solid. I can stay home and read my fan mail, you know. Come on, Castella.  There. Mine. Mine. I see you have some girls' pictures tattooed on your chest. Who are they? Three old sweethearts of mine. Sally, Irene, and Mary. Hmm. I only see Irene and Mary. I wonder what's become of her. Clark, come on. Will you quit stalling around and measure, Castella? He's in a hurry. He wants to learn to swim so he can get a job at the beach. Hmm. A lifesaver? No thanks. I'll never eat between meals. What kind of lifesavers I'm talking about? Save lives. That must be the new flavor. Sulfonylamide. We have a seal out there.  When I said you want to be a lifesaver, I didn't mean a lifesaver like the kind of lifesaver you buy when you buy lifesavers. I'm talking about the kind of lifesaver that saves lives. And that has nothing to do with the kind of lifesavers you buy when you buy lifesavers. Oh, you mean you're talking about the kind of lifesavers that you buy when you buy lifesavers? They have nothing to do with the kind of lifesavers that saves lives and not like the lifesavers you buy when you buy lifesavers. Now you've got it. If I've got it, you better drop a little bit before it gets away. Come on, Castella. Buy the bathing suit. Let's get out of here. Hello, Brother Bud. I see you brought one of those blown up rubber life rafts. Castella is ready for you to teach him to swim. Well, Castella, I'm all ready for the pool. I put on this new bathing suit just for you. It's backless and fastless. How do I look? Skinless and boneless. Love you look wonderful since you came out here to California. Ah, yes. This California weather is wonderful. You know, I've got California under my skin. Looks like a part of Texas Crep under there, too. Give me lessons. Do you know anything about diving? No, but I used to go with a girl. I was a pretty good diver. The only trouble with her was that she was so skinny. Every time she made a jackknife dive, she cut herself in five places. I remember her. She was quite a diver. Oh, yes. Once she dived off a hundred foot board just like that diving champ. Buster Cram. Not only that, she flattened the mackerel. Oh, boy. Susan Miller going to be proud of me. I got myself a dive as a lifeguard. That's wonderful, Castella. How did you manage to do it? They hired me for three reasons. First, ability and intelligent. Second, courage and fortitude. Well? Courage and fortitude. Well, what was the third reason? I was the only guy that applied for the job. Castella, I don't know how you ever got that job as lifeguard.  Is that so? One time I swam five miles out in the ocean and suddenly I had a cramp and I couldn't move. How did you get back? Well, I got dizzy and my head started to swim and it brought my body back to shore. Furthermore, I was in a Navy, and it kicked me out because I like to sleep with the windows open. Why should they kick you out of the Navy for sleeping with the window open? I was on a submarine at the time. You were in the Navy.  Well, I was only kidding at it. When I was a little boy, I used to go swimming in a pond near Paterson. And out of the city, put up a sign on the pond that said, Blue Castello Swam here. Who put up the sign? The Paterson Chamber of Commerce? No, the Paterson Board of Health. Do you think you know enough about life-saving to be a lifeguard? I even learned all the lifeguard signal codes. They signal with whistles like this. What does that mean? That means a child is in trouble. Now listen to this one. What does that mean? That means a woman is in trouble. Are there any more? Here's another one. What does that mean? Man, looking for trouble. Here, I'll give you a practical lifeguard's test.  Suddenly, you see four helpless people out in the sorry plane to an overturned boat. What do you do? You sit on a beach and read the funny paper. Why aren't you out there with those four helpless people clinging to that boat? There's no sense in five of us clinging to that boat. Oh, talk sense. Let's get down to the beach. I want to get a lot of you as a lifeguard. Fat boy, are you the new lifeguard? Yes, I'm the new lifeguard. Who are you? Who am I? Read the letters on my sweatshirt. S-L-O-B. Hey, yeah, but this guy's a slob. Oh, no, no, Castella. That's S-L-O-B. That stands for superintendent, Los Angeles Ocean Beaches. Superintendent, this is Castello. Well, fine. Fine. Now, Castello, all the lifeguards on this beach use the Australian crawl. They use the what? Australian crawl, Australian crawl. Did you ever see an Australian crawl? I was in Australia for two years. They walked just like you and me. One more question, Castello. Suppose you want to find out the condition of the water. What do you do? Well, if I wanted to find out how the water is, I just call a dog. You mean a dog can tell you how the water is? Sure, I'll show you. Look, here's the dog over here. Hey, doggy. Doggy. Doggy. Nice doggy. Come here, doggy. Doggy, how is the water? Any more questions? Castello, I think you'll make a fine lifeguard. Now, all you got to do is pull beautiful girls out of the water when they're in trouble. The job is worth $60 a week. I don't have cash, and I have money, but could I pay it in installments? Well, Castello, let's go down to the beach and see if there is anybody we know. How do you do? How do you do? How do you do? How do you do? How do you do? Castello, what are you... How do you do? What are you doing? Shaking hands with an octopus. Hey, but look at that stunning blonde and that black bathing suit. Castello, if you were a real lifeguard, you wouldn't give that blonde a second look. You're right. I will give her a second look. That's better. I ain't through with the fish look yet. Look, Castello, there's a girl drowning. Here's a chance for you to be a hero. Quick, swim out and save her. Okay, Abbott, here I go. Watch me swim. Castello, where's the girl? Girl, it's your sister, Alam.  Well, you're the lifeguard. You're supposed to help. He helped? Why should I help? That shark got himself into that trouble with your sister. Let him fight his way off the fish when he can't. Boys, we'll have a curtain call by Abbott and Castello after a final reminder on this subject. We've gone on beach all day. Look, Abbott, we're standing right on a spot where you buried your mother-in-law in the sand last summer. Well, what about it? Don't you think it's time you dug her up? Oh, good night. All right, it is time for another great Abbott and Castello show produced and transcribed in Hollywood by Charles Vanda and featuring Susan Miller and Matty Malnick in his orchestra. So goodbye until this save time next Wednesday. Be sure to stay tuned for the outstanding entertainment which follows throughout the evening on this ABC station.


When your Indigenous furniture is an Aboriginal-owned business, we make office furniture all around Australia. We supply major corporations like Westpac and ANZ and ComBank, Government Departments. We put in the world's best office furniture. When we started we didn't want to be a city-centric firm. So we deliberately went bush. We went to Arnhem Land, Cape York. We engaged with the Gulmach people up in Arnhem Land and we sourced timber off a mine site burning and used that to make our lounges. And that year we won the Australian Sustainability Award for our lounges and that really put us on the map. We're working right now with remote communities in Northern Queensland and an Aboriginal-owned lumber company to supply the tables we're doing for the State Library in New South Wales. That's employing people in those communities. It's employing people in the processing and factories that we're using to make our goods on the way through and it's employing people in Winnier itself. If you're buying office furniture you can buy product A or B and if you're a procurement person you can make a bigger decision. You can make a bigger decision to drive social change with the money you spend when you're refurbishing your office. And I think that goes beyond the procurement role and allows you to actually be part of the change in Australian society and make something real and different happen in not only your life because you've got something decent you're sitting at but people's lives that we're employing.


Hey, everybody, what's up? It's Rob Dodson. Welcome back to the show. So in the last episode, I was showing you how to set up Firebase authentication in your Polymer project. Today, I'm going to continue on from where we left off in the last episode and start working with Firebase's real-time database. And so what we're going to build today is going to be kind of like a simple note-taking app, or kind of like a to-do list sort of thing. So follow me over here in my laptop. I'm already signed into the Firebase console. And because I want to have each user have their own space in the database for their own unique notes, I'm going to need to set up some database rules about who can write to which parts of the database. So if I go to the Database section here, I click on the Database tab, if you just set up your project, you'll probably see like a note right here that says, like, default security rules require users to be authenticated.  And you can click on that. And actually, it'll open up a new tab. And it'll kind of explain how Firebase's database rules work. Firebase's database rules use sort of like a JSON-like syntax, which is very interesting. But the thing that's really handy here is the Sample Rules section. So like I said, I want to have every user have kind of their own unique space in the database. And that's such a common ask that there's already, if you click on this user tab here, there's already some example rules that will do that for you. And so I can kind of walk through how these work. So basically, we've got our rules object. And then we're going to define it so it matches the URLs that we'll use for our database calls. So we're going to start with a user's object kind of like right at the root of our database. And then within that, there's this sort of special syntax here for this like dollar sign UID thing. And that is kind of like a Firebase database variable of sorts. It's a dynamic rule. And what that will do is refer to whatever is the current user ID that we are working with. So it'll be slash users slash some user ID. And then we're saying whoever can read to that space, their UID or the UID space that we're trying to write to, that will need to match the authenticated user's UID. So that's for reading and for writing. So I'm just going to copy this bit of boilerplate here, go back to my console and click on the Rules tab. I can highlight all this, paste that in there, and then make sure to click Publish so that these rules become active. All right, cool. So we've said that only certain users can write to certain spots in the database. Basically, you can't read and write to other people's to-do list. So far, so good. Now follow me back over to my laptop and let's go ahead and start putting some data in the database. So I'm going to create a new element called MyNotes.html. And I'm just going to paste in some HTML imports that I've saved. And I'll close the sidebar there so we can bump this up a little bit and you can see what I've got. So in this element, I'm importing Polymer. I'm importing Firebase Auth. So I'll show you why we need that again. I'm importing Firebase Query. So this is what we'll use to actually talk to and read from the database. Paper input, so the user can enter some values and then iron flex layout. And I think we've actually maybe already imported paper button somewhere else, but it's probably good to import that here as well, because we're going to use a paper button too. So I'll say paper button. OK, rat. All right, let us begin by defining an element. So we're just going to call this element MyNotes. And the first thing I'm going to do is actually use the Firebase Auth element. Again, inside of MyNotes. Now I used this in our previous episode to build our sign in and sign out buttons. So here what I'm going to do is I'm also going to expose the user object inside of this element. And what's kind of cool about the Firebase Auth element is that whenever user signs in, basically all instances of the Firebase Auth element that we have kind of sprinkled in our app, all of them will sort of simultaneously get that new user data. They'll get the user object. And so you can treat this element kind of like a model that any other element can just sort of declaratively bind to and extract information about the user. So you can pop these Auth elements into different spots in your app, wherever you might need to reference the user for some reason, which is pretty interesting and pretty handy. So we're going to combine that with the Firebase query element. So the Firebase query element basically lets us talk to the Firebase database and specifically talk to arrays in the Firebase database. So I'm going to give this element an ID of query. So we'll say ID is query. We will use that later to reference it in our JavaScript. We're going to say that it's path. So this is the path in the database where we're going to be reading and writing to. That will be slash users slash. And then we will bind to the current user's user ID. And then we will write to their notes section. And then we will say the data that comes back from Firebase, we're going to expose that in our app as this notes object. So I'll go down here to my element definition. I will define properties object for that notes thing. So we'll say the type is object. And now I want to add sort of like a list so I can render out all of those to-dos as they're coming back from the server. So let's see. So we'll start. We'll define a div. We'll just call it card or something like that. And then inside of here, I'm going to create maybe another div called notes. Something, so we'll say notes. Inside of here, make a UL. And we'll call this, we'll give it an ID of notes list. Notes list. Inside of here, I'm going to do a DOM repeat template. So I'll say template is DOM repeat, DOM repeat. The items that is going to iterate over will be those notes that are coming in from the user. And we will say that we want each note to be referred to just as a note. And then inside of here, we'll create list items. And inside of each list item, I will just drop in a paragraph tag, I'll give it a class of content. And I will say that I want the note.content. So we haven't really defined what a note looks like, but I'm going to assume that it'll have this content property on it and that'll just be the text content of the note itself. The next thing I need to do is I need to add some controls so someone can type in a note and then a button so that they can add it and it'll send it up to Firebase. So I've actually got a little bit of code for this that I've just already saved in my clipboard. So I'll just paste that in here real quick and we can walk through this. So I've got a paper input element with an ID of input. That'll be useful later because we'll refer to it in JavaScript. And it's just got a label that tells the person, hey, take a note. And then I've got inside of that a paper button with an ID of add. We're going to refer to this in JavaScript 2. And basically whenever someone taps on it, we're just going to run this add function. So let's implement that add function. So right under our properties, we'll say add is function. And so what we want to do is we want to take the reference to the Firebase database. And there's two things you can do then. You can either set a value or you can push values. Setting is if you're just dropping in a single object. Pushing is if you're pushing array-like data up to the database. And that's basically what we're doing with these to do. So we want to use the push method on our Firebase instance. So to do that, we're going to go up here. We'll look at our query element, which has this ID of query. And we can say this.$query.ref. So that's going to be a reference to that path that it just defined, so slash users, user ID, notes. So give me a reference to that path in the database and then push an object to it. And this object is just going to have one property, which will be content. And then that's going to come from this.$input.value. So that's just our input text field. And after someone hits the Add button, it'd be nice to clear out the text field so they can keep adding to do this. So right after we push the value, we'll also say this.$input.value equals no. OK? Let's switch over to our terminal and fire this up. So we'll say firebase serve. And then go to localhost 5,000. We will open up our console in case we're, you know, because errors happen sometimes. We will go and we will start typing a note. So let's see. We'll say hello, polycasters. And we'll add it. And there we go. Showing up inside of our list. So that actually, you know, that just sort of confirms that everything worked. If we want, though, go over to the Firebase console, go back to the data tab. And you can see these green rectangles indicate that we just wrote some data to the database. So you can see users, my crazy user ID, notes, and then this unique ID. So every time you push something to Firebase, anytime you're working with array-like data, instead of using numeric indices like 0, 1, 2, Firebase will actually create unique IDs. And this is really useful because if you have a bunch of different people all trying to push to the database at the same time, if you were using just like numeric keys like 0, 1, 2, you could probably end up with some weird transactional issues. So instead, Firebase creates these sort of unique identifiers so it can do the bookkeeping after the fact to make sure data gets synchronized and mushed together in the right ordering. And I can see inside of here the actual value, content hello, polycasters. What's cool about the Firebase database, this is probably my absolute favorite feature of Firebase, is it's super easy to play around with the data once it's in there. So for instance, if I want to change this to finish the demo, I can just update the text. So finish this demo and hit Enter. And now everything turns yellow to indicate that it changed. I go back to my note-taking app and you can see that that value has been updated here as well. So we can add some more deduces, we'd say. Go out and vote. It is November 8th as I'm recording this. And then we will say hopefully celebrate. Question mark, question mark. Yeah, so we can keep adding things to this dedu-list if we want. The next thing I want to do, though, is I want to be able to delete items off of my dedu-list. And this is pretty easy to do as well. So we go back to our code editor. And I'm going to add a couple more imports up here to the top. So I'm going to drop in a paper icon button. And I'm also going to drop in iron icons. Now, I'm only going to use one icon from the iron icon set. And so normally I would say if you're using only a handful of icons from the iron icon set, it's best to go and create your own icon set. And you can do that pretty easily using iron icon set SVG and literally just copy and pasting the stuff out of iron icons. But because we're just doing a demo, I'm not going to go through making my entire icon set. So I'm just going to use iron icons directly. But for performance overhead, it's often a good idea just to create your own icon set. So I'm going to include a paper icon button. And then basically right after where we've written the content for our note, I'm just going to drop in a paper icon button. I'm giving it an icon of clear. So it'll be like an X. And then I've got this property here called note. And I'm actually just setting a property on the paper icon button. I'm setting a reference to the entire note object that this line item is referring to.  And so lastly, I've got this on tap event listener here. And I'm saying I want to call this remove function. So let's implement that remove function. So I'm going to say remove is function. It's an event. So we'll say that the key is equal to E dot current target dot note dot key. And I think maybe they use like dollar sign key to reference it in Firebase, note dot key. I think that's right. Yep. And then we're going to say this dot dollar sign dot query dot child. And then we will give it the key. We're giving it this value right here. This dot child dot key dot remove. So that basically says, go to the database, find the object that matches this key. Delete it. So go back to Zekromes. Actually, before I do that, I'm going to drop in some CSS as well to make this look really pretty. So right above our Firebase off, we'll drop in a big style block. And honestly, I mean, you don't really need to worry too much about what I'm doing here. I'm just sort of like positioning things. So our icons floating to the right, and our text is to the left using iron flex layout. Nothing too interesting. So I'm not going to spend too much time on it. But I just wanted the demo to look nice. Go back to Zekromes, refresh the page. And now we have our notes showing up here. We've got these x's showing up here. And I can go and x them out. And oh, whoa, we got an error. This dot dollar sign dot query dot child remove is not a function. Let's see what I typed wrong here. I need to have ref dot child. Let's try that again. Refresh the page. And we will boom, start deleting items. Yeah, yeah. And we win. We're all done, I think. Yeah. So that about covers it for today. We covered some of the basics of working with the real-time database. We've got user authentication working with this app. The next episode, I think I want to explore maybe how we deploy this thing and get it working on Firebase hosting. Might try to come up with some other interesting topics to include in that episode as well. If there's anything that maybe you're interested in seeing, please leave me a comment down below and I can try and work that in. Or you can hit me up on a social network of your choosing at hashtag as Polymer. As always, thank you so much for watching. And I'll see you next time. Hey, what's up?

Appalachian Wireless proudly brings you unlimited data. Unlimited data is only $80 a month for a single line. Four lines as low as $200. Better service? Bigger savings? That's today's Appalachian Wireless, an East Kentucky network company. Vita speed slowed at 25 gigabytes per line to 512 kilobits for phones and tablets, and 15 gigabytes for motors. See store for more details. Several businesses in MacGolfan County and one in Floyd County have fell victim to burglary and attempted burglary all in the same night. As businesses prepared to open Saturday morning, several found their doors had been smashed, and others not only found broken windows, but items missing as well. MacGolfan County Sheriff Carson Montgomery says their investigation is going well. We do have several suspects in mind. It's just going to take a few days. Due to the rush and so many calls coming in, the Kentucky State Police entered some. We entered some. The Saturday facilities followed up on complaints. We should have arrest made for the cases we were working, maybe as soon as later this week. One business owner says the burglary cost him much more than the few hundred dollars that was taken. The register cost money. The back door cost money. We had to replace the back door. I mean, the glass was shattered in it. And we figured probably the cost on this is about $2,200. Video surveillance footage of the burglary has been a big part of identifying the suspects. They took something that broke the glass out of the door and entered in, walked down through the restaurant. One guy stopped and got some cokes and spied out of the coke machine, and the other guy started taking the register. They jerked the cord out of the wall, and they go through the safe, and you can see them walking back down toward the back of the restaurant. If you have any information regarding these incidents, you can call either of the numbers listed on your screen. Reporting from MacGolfan County, I'm Shawn Allen for EKB News. Thank you.


Hello everyone and welcome to our talk how we use thematic challenges to cover content gaps and activate the community of Wikimediants. My name is Natalia Schiebolova, I am fundraiser and PR specialist of Wikimedia Czech Republic since September 2021 and with me today there is Klara Yokova, Executive Director of Wikimedia Czech Republic. She's been doing this job since March 2018. Thank you guys for being here with us today. We would like to share with you the topic that has been with us for the last two years. The aim of this was to focus our work more on something that happens in the Czech community. What does these challenges look like, what we are talking about? It's always an editing or photo challenge or a contest that is focused around a specific topic. We will get back to that later. It usually lasts around a month. Last year I think for all of our four challenges we even choose a longer period of time I think around six weeks and it's always a mix of several online and usually on-site events like editor films. These two things are essential especially for which target group we would like to address because these online contests is always better for our long-term Wikimedians, for our long-term members and on-site events usually attract newcomers and that is something we are aiming. The goals of the challenges are mainly to attract new editors to motivate Wikimedians that already create to create more content and even articles or photos on a given subject for Wikimedia projects we will get into the topics later. Also we like to attract attention of media and public to Wikipedia and the given subjects so we send out press releases and do a whole PR stuff and we also ask influencers to help us just to get it out there. The other thing that really helps us focus and cooperate but it's that we link these challenges, these topics of activities to all our programmes. You have three types, three main programme groups which is educational programmes, community programmes and partnership programmes but all these three programmes join the forces for this main topic. And these two last two bullet points that means like attract attention of general public that means attention of media and this linking of activities led to actually choose the right topics for us and hold them in the longer term period that means to have yearly challenges on the same topic. So we are busy all year round and we divided our the thematic challenges into the quarters. The first quarter which peak in March is dedicated to women. So this challenge is called Women's Month on Wikipedia. June the second quarter it's aimed to human rights so that it's a human rights on Wikipedia. August and September the third quarter it's Czech WikiFoto. This is the only and just pure photo contest and we will talk about this later. At the end of the year the fourth quarter it's historical contest Czechoslovakia 1948 to 89 this long communist period in our history. This as well allows us to make the backbone of our annual plan very simple because of course we are doing the other things we organize more than 170 educational activities through demand. We organize different other different community activities we cooperate with our partnership but this backbone of our annual plan it's very simple and it's very understandable to all of our members and partners and it looks actually like this. You can see these main challenges that wrap up each quarter. We would like to talk a little bit more about each of these four topics that we have just quickly to tell you what it's all about Women's Month on Wikipedia. We attract specific target group which are women and newcomers. We all probably know that only like around 10 to 20% of women edit Wikipedia actually so it makes sense. We ask NGOs to help us with promotion and to take part local institution and we like to which like to bring attention to certain issues. For example the underrepresentation of women scientists in the public eye. We cooperate with different ambassadors for example embassies of Sweden, USA, UK, Ireland and it's a mix of several online and on-site events like editathons. We also created Czech women's Vicky Facebook group where members can share their experiences throughout the year which seem to be really helpful. Unlike the Women's Month on Wikipedia that is focused on gaining new cameras and attract women, the human rights or the challenge human rights is focused on completing like the complicated and complex topics that means to cover the content gap. This is the main difference and our tip is always to know what's the main goal of your activities. We as well like the other specifics of the Human Rights Month on Wikipedia on our June challenge it's to go wider like it's like this whole topic it's wider than it seems. It covers topics around minorities, about migrants, about all LGBTQ plus topic, about every historical event that it's attached to human rights, even to climate change. So it's very like now topics that can as well easily attract new cameras but from our experience and what we want really to cover it's to like attract specific partners which is mainly NGOs in our cultural circumstances who could cover this content to get better because this is like their field and they know what they are talking about, they all know all the news and they have all the like they have all the sources that could be used to cover this very important and very deep content gap. Other specifics of this challenge is that we try to attract the students and we always have some kind of student participation last year for example we have like seminars for Roma students in Czech Republic which was the first time we could offer them something like that to be a part of Czech Wikipedia and as all the other challenges it's always a mix of several online and on-site events and we always attach specific training for NGOs because we want to help them how to cover their topics better. One useful tip here, we try always to plan in advance with our partners and we take advantage of their existing activities and we try to join them for example we extend this challenge to be able to cover and be part of International Refugee Day. Another challenge is Czech Wikifoto, we try to support quality photograph on Wikimedia comments by that one. We mainly target newcomers, professional or amateur photographers who like to take pictures so we invite them to Wikimedia and all the Wikimedia projects it's a way of bringing attention to comments and free licenses and the challenge ends every year with an exhibition of award-winning photographs in January we have a nice gallery of one of our partners in the center of Prague so it makes sense for the photographs because their photographs, their photos are seen there and also the exhibition or like the first day of exhibition is connected with Poetry Slam event so it's a little tradition that we have established and people look forward to it and I think it's really lovely. We also have some sponsors or partners who gave us something to award the photographers like some kind of editing programs for photographs and stuff and we use an expatriate jury of professional photographers and VK photographers to decide which photos are good and also useful for Wikimedia projects. The last challenge that ends sort of up our whole year it's Contest Czechoslovakia 1948 to 1989 this is our only let's say historical topic and the main focus it's again to cover the content gap of really complicated and complex topics which is as well let's say modern so it's still like in the kind of progress. This is like Czech modern historical theme so you I think can as well think of something similar that's like part of your of your modern history of or some like very complex topic in your own history. What we always are doing here it's to involve the academic partners teachers and students of our universities. In last year we was able to to to offer this this to three different universities in three different cities and it was again like mix of this online contest and editathons but we connect them this time with public lectures by historians so we could as well offer something to the general public and to the local people in these three cities and editathon culminates as well one semester course for students so librarians was part of that and but mostly universities and this academic partners would find what like the last useful tip for you we always are trying to find a Wikipedia ambassadors that means like someone experienced from the community who could cover the whole topic and lead us towards like our goal and be maybe even the face of this challenge and we was very happy because one of our one of our community members helped us last two years to be the ambassador of this contest. So this challenges as we try to explain on the beginning really helped to gain new diverse editors and keep the current one engaged. What's important to mention here is that we know that for like existing community for people who was able to to find their own way to Wikimedia world to editing. This is just like fun we can they can be part of the contest they can win something they could as well get like a wikibatch for this which we prepare every year for for each challenge so this is you can have the nice collection a collection after few years but for a certain type of newcomers and to make our community diverse there are like types of editors who appreciate our support in on their way into the Wikimedia world and who as well appreciate to have some support on their first steps towards editing on their first bumps on their first know that easy experience on the beginning and so we hope that this really helps to make our community more diverse. We only have like three minutes left so I'm going to make this short but I would like to illustrate what can bring these challenges on Wikimedia women's month which is probably the most successful one regarding the attention of public and also the number of written articles as we all know women find it harder than men to find their way to Wikimedia usually that's maybe why they're underrepresented in the community also like only 20% of biographies are about women so there's also there is also an element of the Vicky content gap and we tried to change that by inviting women to Wikimedia we for example had usually have discovered by six newspapers radio stations a year last year in March we almost we created and enlarged almost 400 articles about women and 238 of them were created thanks to the challenge so the number of created articles compared to the usual almost doubled and we also got six females influence female influencers to promote the project under social media this year which was lovely and we get the support from the US Embassy which provides us financially also some important guests from Swedish British Embassy and also the US Embassy come to the event and it's just a lovely thing to do you know we really appreciate all the attention drawn to it if you yeah yeah sorry just for like all the wrapping up because we are we are longer again that you wanted to be here is like the sex steps how to do it we won't go through this I think you can find it if you really want to and we are always here to help you or share our like experiences with whatever you would like to like start or and as well follow our communication channels everything it's on of course on commons we have as well YouTube channel that some like English subtitles for our videos that covered these challenges so you can go through this and if you have any other questions we can be there with you but our colleague Jan Beranek it's there on spot so he's ready to answer all of your questions thank you for listening to us it's been a pleasure to prepare this presentation for you thank you so hello everyone my name is Jan Beranek and I work at Wikimedia Czech Republic as coordinator of programs for editors so basically the stuff you have just seen I'm here for all the questions and we have about three minutes so if anything feel free to ask all right thank you everyone if you have any questions in the future you can always reach to us through our emails through telegram pretty much any channel or you can catch me somewhere later today okay thank you


Today we're going to cook some venison, stir-fried, just throw some olive oil. To the meat we're going to season it with salt and pepper and some herbs. Then we're going to throw some vegetables. We have potatoes, zucchini, rainbow carrots, and mushrooms. We're going to cook this meat on the red side because it's real lean. This is going to be topped with a covernate sauce. The sauce is a covernate wine garlic, butter, and a flour tube. A thin scab is going to like this. All right, I got to try some of Chef Juan's venison. You know what? It's cooked perfectly. The sauce doesn't overpower the venison. Chef Juan, we've had him on the show before. He cooked duck last time. Didn't do me wrong with the venison. Get to Michael David Winery in Lodi, California.
