What if we could clean wastewater and produce energy at the same time? That's what a new startup called ARB source is trying to achieve. The core of our technology is a naturally occurring class of bacteria called anode-respiring bacteria. That's A-R-B. The acronym is where our name comes from. So if our patent-pending ARB cell biotechnology process, these A-R-B that we grow inside our reactors form this biofilm and this biofilm enables the fast efficient degradation of sugars, starches, proteins, and other organic pollutants that are common in food and beverage wastewater streams. And so these sugars and starches they flow into our reactor, they're dissolved in this wastewater, our biofilm eats up those materials. We end up with a much cleaner affluent output, which then can be safely discharged into municipal sewer systems or directly into the environment. And as a consequence that the cool electrochemistry is that we generate this hydrogen gas byproduct at very high consistent purity. We're talking over 99 percent. It can be used for any number of different purposes. The traditional wastewater treatment plan that uses oxygen, you have to pump that oxygen, that air, into the wastewater and that is highly costly for the treatment. At the same time you produce a lot of biomass because they grow with a lot of energy. And the concept of the microbial electrochemical cell is now that we are going to extract some of that energy that we give to the bacteria, so they grow a bit less and we get some energy out. So there are a few benefits, savings, hydrogen production and less biomass to handle. Well wastewater processing is so vital to our existence and so to be able to reduce some of the energy demand on that is extremely important. And so I think what we're doing is going to be able to help immensely. In the case of the development of microbial electrochemical cells, it's a very broad range of disciplines, expertise that is needed to scale these systems up. So the congregation of all these researchers with different backgrounds and working on the same technology, but different aspects so that those different aspects can be improved to eventually get a more efficient technology has helped a lot in the development of these systems. Instead of simply perfecting this idea in the lab, Arizona State University is attempting to set this technology loose in the outside world via the marketplace. The best part about having ASU and specifically the BioDesign Institute as a strategic partner in our development is that they bring world-class expertise to our scaling efforts. One of the advantages of entrepreneurship versus just a pure lab research setting is that we're getting feedback from customers. Mark talks with the customers and figures out what exactly their needs are and what excites them as far as different parts of our value proposition. And so that helps the lab research group to really focus their efforts instead of maybe pursuing a direction that would be cool from a scientific standpoint, but not very helpful from a customer standpoint. We'll be adding so much value to the way that water is managed in the way that waste is converted from what is right now just a costly liability into a valuable resource in the form of that hydrogen gas.


What is going on, folks? This is Jacob Schup, filling in for Tom O'Brien. Let's take a look at what we got going on. First off, I hope you all had a good Easter. We were off Friday. Always loved that. But it always kind of goes too soon. Let's take a look at the market today. We have the ES mini trading off about 0.24%. The Russell off about 1%. NQ basically sideways up 0.04. Dow futures also down about 0.71%. Not a lot of action going on right now. We can definitely see in the ES mini a little bit of a consolidation going on through here. There's been some conversation about a pullback. I know Tim Orrd had been speaking about that a little bit. And I could definitely see that. We've been making these extreme all-time highs. Of course, we're having some really solid economic data to justify this movement, not just promises of interest rate cuts. But of course, Powell said they're looking for it. And you're even getting some big industry players calling for a more robust decrease in interest rates. So another big important thing we're looking at is gold. I mean, come on, look at this. Look at this chart. I mean, we've all been seeing, we've all been there. Listen to Tim Orrd, listen to Tom O'Brien. And they've been calling this gold movement for a while. And we just had not a lot of action in it. Until we see this takeoff. So what's going on with gold? Okay, well, you have China doing a little bit better. And real estate is doing so poor over there that you're seeing consumption of gold in China go up from there. Of course, also interest rates are supposedly coming down. And there's generally an inverse relationship with that. So we're still seeing this pretty strong rally with gold of about 1.05% today. Silver too, we're up at 2,509. And then copper, luckily, we're up at $4.05 on the contract. Crude oil, definitely this is LightSuite Crude Futures contract. We've seen some upward movement trading about $83.86. So we remain to be seen if we're going to continue that upward trajectory. We come back down and make a consolidation in it. Of course, the bonds are doing pretty stellar today as well. Price-wise, at least. Tesla down about 1.11%. We'll talk a little bit about Tesla in the sense of what it has coming at it. We've been speaking, well, I mean, when I was on, I think last week and the time before, I was talking about how Musk was saying that the Chinese pose quite a significant threat to American and really Western EV makers. And it's because they're able to just produce these cars at cheaper costs, right? And I mean, really, that's the major thing, right? They can just produce these cars for cheaper. Therefore, the sell point's cheaper. We'll take a little bit of a look at Zhao Mi, you know, and again, I would say too, for a lot of these Western companies, China is such a major market, right? I mean, we were talking about this with Nike, okay? Nike's sales in Asia and, you know, really predominantly China have come down. And I think what we're kind of seeing with that is more of a national development in China with the younger generation who kind of want these more Chinese goods, that want to set themselves apart from the more international kind of culture that we see. Anyways, Zhao Mi, this is a massive EV company in China, just pumping out some of their new EVs, something called the SU-7, anyways, long story short, instant sellout with it.  What's interesting to note, at least about the circumstance with Zhao Mi and the SU-7 in particular, is you actually had talent from BMW and Mercedes going there and working for them to develop this, which is pretty fascinating. Let's see the following, it's launched SU-7 experienced an overwhelming demand with 88,898 orders in the first 24 hours. Now this is what's weird, right? So let me just pull this thing over to you. I just want you to see the vehicle. All right, this is what the thing looks like. It loads, of course, there we go. Pretty nice, right? They're selling this thing for under $30,000, and that's in China. And I mean, just seriously think about that, right? They can produce vehicles that look, you know, quite slick like this, right? Which is really what the American consumer wants when they're buying these EVs, these more kind of futuristic kind of deals. They can produce it at something where they can have the sell point at below 30, I mean, you know, that's gonna be an issue, I think for a lot of major car manufacturers. Regardless, it'll be interesting to see kind of how that plays out going forward. Want to talk a little bit about gold as well before we keep going. You know, I think that listening, you know, for me, myself, right? I'm a young guy, I'm 27. Gold to me, until really working for Tom, was just kind of this, you know, this is what older folks do, and there's not a lot of motion in it. We all talk about crypto, but I've been completely proven wrong. The analysis that Tim and Tom have on, and really particularly Tom, because he's been doing this for so long, has been invaluable to me and has really changed my mindset. So I'm speaking to young guys out there, right? Because I know how we get to think about stuff, but this is insane. And so what I want to bring up is that is the 22nd year anniversary of Tom O'Brien's gold report. This is a major deal here, okay? This is 35% off the monthly price of the gold report for as long as you are a subscriber, okay? So that's roughly about like 71.65 off from about $119. Okay, the deal's there, right? 22 years that should tell you something about how much Tom knows with this, but I want to show you this here as well. If you are a subscriber to anything that we've had here, or you've purchased anything from TFNN, you got an email earlier today, and it was today's edition of the gold report, and it was released free to you entirely, right? So if you haven't seen that yet and you haven't checked your email, definitely check it out, especially if you've never been in the gold report, but we're looking at the current portfolio we have now. We actually had a buy earlier today. I don't have included in this table, but again, if you're a subscriber to anything or we have your email, check it to make sure you know what we got. But look at this, these are the percent gains we're making right now, and this is being monitored constantly by Tom.   Anyways, the point is, we got such a good deal on it right now. Come check this out. This is 22 years in the making, and you're just not getting that, you're just not getting that experience anywhere, especially for the price that we have of that. Anyways, let's keep taking a look at what we're going on. Apple, they have some interesting issues regarding, basically demand for their phones going down. We'll talk a bit about that in Disney.  I was so nervous for the stock, and we have just seen it crawl up continually. I mean, we're trading back at 121.40. I want to see what the all-time high was, something around here, okay, 201, still quite a bit off of that, but this is positive movement for the stock that has really seen some pretty bad days. Folks, stay tuned. We will be right back. Talk a little bit about crypto, maybe.

How's it? How's it? Today we're going to look at a simple yet so effective way of elevating your photographs into something that has just a little bit more about them. We're going to be talking about framing. Now, if you're not familiar with the concept of framing, this goes against pretty much everything you get told when you are, you know, a beginner photographer, which is to, you know, make the subject. The whole point of the photograph of, you know, not having distracting things in the way, but what we're going to do now is actually have the main point of the photograph relatively small within the picture that is not going to be front and centre, you know, standing to attention saying, look at me, look at me, but you are going to place it to the left, maybe, you know, to the right or somewhere that's not front and centre and bringing framing into play. And framing is what you are going to use to change the mood of the photograph completely, that it will take what could be just a tiny random thing in the background and focus the viewer's attention on it in a way that is complementary, in a way that does not compete and yet channels that vision all the way to that thing that you want them to ultimately discover within your photograph. There are a number of ways that you can do this. I mean, the most simple idea is, of course, using physical framing. The most obvious is a window frame, you know, the clues in the name, a window frame. Imagine if you shoot, look, you know, well, don't imagine right now, wherever you are, look out the window and see how it frames a thing beyond it. What would happen if you were to photograph stepping back a little bit and actually using the window frame? You can do this to such great effect to isolate things, to give your photographs a little bit more depth to them. That's a very basic way of, you know, thinking about framing, but staying with the geometric shapes go a little bit further, door frames, frames of buildings. So often, you know, you see great looking old buildings that are jammed into cities and you go, well, I like the old building, but I don't really want all the, the modern bluffness that's around it. So one of the ways you can get around this is to actually frame the building by using blank pieces of this modern architecture. Of course, modern architecture has given us a real gift here because so much of it is, well, it's not uninteresting, but it is big sheets of essentially very repetitive or very blank spaces that you can use as a wonderful, framing device. Think about not only are you changing the view of the subject by, you know, isolating it and allowing us to view the architecture by itself without being influenced by all the rubbish around, but you're also creating on a different level juxtaposition by comparing the old with that blank sheet of the new. And because it's blank, it's not as in interruptive as so like street signs and things like that. So that's a wonderful way of using this as you practice this skill, you will begin to see the opportunity for framing all around you. Now, using geometric shapes and architectural forms and things of that nature is it's all, you know, it's great. Right.  Well, then in landscape, well, you're in luck because, of course, natural form is glorious at framing things in a very sympathetic way. Let's call it, right, that when you look at trees, they can frame a wonderful scene of a lake or a castle. Framed within a pattern of forest. These are all framing devices, even though you're not probably familiar with the name. This is what they're doing. They're isolating the subject and saying to the viewer, this is what you really should be interested in. One of my favorite things within photography is what I call shooting through. So this is the process of having things in the foreground that are sort of out of focus, that you're shooting through them at something in beyond them. Right. And as a beginner photographer, you kind of get told, yeah, this isn't really something you should be doing there. Look, there's distracting elements and stuff. And that's true because if you don't use it correctly, then they are just simply distracting elements. But when you start photographing with intent, when you're really thinking about using those items, maybe some tree or some twigs or some some wonderful grass as a framing device, then it lends that photograph a an organicness, a realness that I absolutely adore, because it makes us feel like we're actually there. That this isn't a contrived image, which sometimes, you know, landscape photography can feel a little bit like it's it's just a little bit too perfect. Right. So this makes it feel like you've been walking through a wood or somewhere. And you have a chance upon this scene that you have glimpsed the deer in the background there and you having to look through all the trees and stuff. And it just makes the photograph feel like it's coming alive, that it has real depth to it.  Maybe, you know, the feet of the crowd can use as similar like tree trunks that they are, you know, leading the eye somewhere through there at weddings. They used to love shooting over somebody's shoulder, you know, not literally shooting over the shoulder, but using them as a framing device to bring attention to the expression on the face of the person they were talking to. It just makes the photograph feel like it's got a lot more depth to it. And that's a word that I keep coming back to in this is depth. Adding this depth into your photographs is going to give them more staying power with the person who is looking at your images.  If you make three of those quarters fairly bland, fairly nondescript, fairly non competitive, if you put it that way, and then have the focus in one place, but not merely just, you know, shuffling everything into one corner, but using ideas, using the concepts that we've looked at now to frame that last quarter. Once you've got the hang of this, once you're feeling a little bit, you know, oh, I've got this framing thing, you know, awesome. Start thinking about light and shadow. This is amazing when you can start using light and shadow to frame ideas, because not only are you drawing attention to the subject that you want to elevate it a little bit within the picture, but you're also adding some mystique because you're using light and shade. You're hiding some things and revealing others.  I haven't mentioned him for a while, but Alex Webb's photography is a wonderful example of this ability to use light and shade and the framing devices that we've talked about within this video to combine into a gorgeous photograph that is full of story, full of visual interest and of mystery and conveys an emotion. His photography, if you are looking to improve your ability to frame is a masterclass and I've linked to it here and I would highly suggest that you go and look at his beautiful photographs. Thank you ever so much for watching and I will see you again soon.


Hey, this is Brett, and this 2019 Chevy Traverse LT1 front-wheel drive is stock number 13724Z8. I'm here at Summit Automotive in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin, your new and used SUV headquarters. This 2019 Chevy Traverse has the 3.6-liter V6 engine. It's paired up with the nine-speed automatic transmission, puts out 310 horsepower. This Traverse has been fully-safetyed and inspected by our service shop, has a fresh oil and filter change. All the fluids have been checked and topped off, and it is 100% ready to go. I'm going to go all the way around in this video inside, start it up, and take a look under the hood to give you the most accurate representation of the vehicle possible. Pepper dust, metallics of color, I shoot all my videos in 4K, so if you have HD capabilities, turn them on now because it's your best way to check out the quality, condition options, and cleanliness of the vehicle before seen in person. And if you like the video, you can subscribe to my YouTube channel, which is YouTube.com, slash some of the auto-click-the-bell notifications, you'll get updates on the videos I do each and every day, as well as access to one of the largest catalogs of vehicle walk-arounds on YouTube. So that's pretty neat. Has the painted alloy wheels, and it has Goodyear Assurance weather-ready tires. These are 255, 65 R18s, and they are like new on here. I would say at least 90% of the tread-left, 80 to 90% for sure. Very new tires all the way around. And the only thing I really saw in the whole vehicle is there's one little scuff on the wheel on the driver's side of this vehicle. But other than that, really nice all the way around. Comes with the projector lamp headlamps and LED running lights, factory fog lights, front bumper is in great shape, no major dents, dings, or scratches, or cracks. Has the chrome-trimmed grille, and the hood's in really nice shape, too. Didn't see any major dents or dings on there. Passengers' side front fender looks good, and the passengers' side front wheel is absolutely perfect. It's got some really cool metal flake in it, a lot of tans and golds, a little bit of maybe silver in there as well, really a cool color. And as you go down this side of this 2019 Chevy Traverse, take note of how clean that body is, how reflective and mirror-like that paint is. I take these HE videos, so if you are far away or even if you're close by and you just cannot make the trip down but you're still interested in purchasing the vehicle, you can see the vehicle, hear the vehicle, and have confidence in what you're looking at before you even get here. So when you do get here, there's absolutely no surprises, and you can make a smart and informed buying decision from wherever you're at. If this video helps you make that buying decision, let your salesmen know that you saw the video.  So very new tires all the way around on this vehicle. And around the back you get the nice chrome-tipped dual rear exhaust, the back-up parking sensors, the towing package, which includes a receiver hitch and seven-pin wiring, and the rear gate is in really nice condition. I didn't see any dents or dings on there. The button to get it open is right there. It is a power lift gate. Back storage area is nice and clean. You do get these rubber protectors for the backs of the seats. To get these down, you just got to kind of pull the strap, hold it, and then that seat will go down nice and flat. If that seat was up farther, this one will go down nice and flat, and you can see it goes down like so, and those mats go flat as well. To get this up, just grab this strap and pull it like so. We keep the receiver hitch cover inside the vehicle so they do not go missing, and back here you get a very nice storage area. To get this gate down, you press this button right here, and it comes down nice and smoothly. Coming around the driver's side, the rear quarter looks really good, no dents or dings on there for full disclosure. This back wheel is in nice condition as well, no scuffs or scrapes. And down the rest of this side, doors look really good. It does have the blind spot monitoring in the mirrors, as well as directional signals, and they are power. Inside the LT1 package gives you the black and gray cloth interior. There are no rips or tears on the seats. They are in really nice condition. Power driver seat with lumbar, factory all-weather floor mats throughout. Auto headlamps, tilt telescopic steering wheel, power windows, locks, and mirrors. Look at the second row seats. This one comes with the quad seating, so the second row captain's chairs. No rips or tears on them. They look really good, and it does come with the latch child safety system. These seats do fold down like so, and the third row seats are in really nice condition as well. I didn't see any major rips or tears back there. You also get rear air controls and two USB power points. Child safety locks on the back doors, and the inside and bottoms of the doors all look really good. On the hop inside, check out the miles, the radio, and everything that this vehicle has to offer on the interior. You can see that this one has 46,650 miles on it, and it does have a compass display as well. Comes with the leather-wrapped steering wheel, cruise controls on the left, Bluetooth and information center controls on the right. It does come with the push button start, and the Chevy MyLink radio has a storage area behind the radio, which is pretty cool with the USB plug-in. So you get AM, FM, and Sirius XM radio capabilities. You also have your projection manager. You can project your cell phone to the screen via Android Auto or Apple CarPlay. So if you have a nav system on your phone, such as Waze or Google Maps, project it right to the screen. It's like you have nav right on the screen, so that's a pretty neat system. This is also where your backup camera shows up. Dual climate controls. They're your heated seat buttons, and down here you get two USBs, an aux jack, and an aux jack. City control, snow, highway, settings there, passenger side, floor mat, and seat are in excellent condition. No rips or tears on there, smells very clean inside this vehicle. I don't think it's ever been smoked in. And the headliners, a really nice condition up here. You get home link buttons for your garage door security systems and lighting systems. On-star and SOS buttons as well. We'll start it up and take a look under the hood. It's right up. No check engine lights or anything like that, other than it's telling me my hood's open. And we'll turn all those lights on as well. I would personally like to thank you for checking out the video today, and hopefully from this HD video you've been able to verify the quality, condition options, and of course cleanliness of this vehicle all the way around. This one does have the HID headlamps, the LED running lights. All the lights are working nicely under the hood. We have the 3.6L V6 engine, engine maze very clean, runs very smooth. Once again this vehicle has been fully safety and inspected by our service shop, has a fresh oil and filter change, all the fluids have been checked and topped off, and it is 100%. Ready to go? I would highly recommend this vehicle from a quality and condition standpoint and see more pictures of this Traverse or one of our other 550 new and used cars, trucks, SCVs, minivans, Wranglers.

Hello, everyone. Welcome to NPTEL course on rural water resource management. This is week 11, lecture 3. In this week, we have been following rules and regulations and databases to collect data that can help us in understanding the rural water resources. We have actually looked at the key concepts of rural water resource management and now we are at a stage to collect data to understand further for each and everyone's specific research area or management area. For example, if you are located in Shillong or in Kashmir or particular district, you would like to have only that data for rural water management and that is what we are looking at in these lecture series, how to collect data. We have looked at collecting data from publications, NGO reports, manuals, etc. Then we looked at state agencies that collect data. So state agencies collect multiple data sets. We are not going to go into all the data sets. For now, we've understood that there are locations where you can collect data for state. In today's lecture, we will focus on the data that needs to be collected from the water balance method that we discussed in class earlier. So as per the water balance equation, we have a del S, which is the change in storage is equal to the precipitation plus your Q in, which is your runoff coming in. And let's give it here minus your Q out is the runoff which is going out minus your ET, which is your evapotranspiration that is caused because of plants transpiring and also your evaporation from open surfaces, then we have GN, which is your groundwater in and G out, which is your groundwater out. So you need to close the water budgets, which means you need to get all these data to close the water budget estimate each and every part and then you close the water budget so that at the end of the day you can estimate the net storage in the rural village. Again, the storage could be surface water storage or your groundwater storage. Since we are looking at water resource management, most of the water is stored at a village level, it is mostly stored as a groundwater. And there are some surface storage things like check dams, ponds, lakes, recharge ponds, percolation ponds, all these things. So you will also look at the major statewide where they could store data, for example, as a rural water database. So, there are multiple data sets that we saw as per this water equation, one is your precipitation, which is rainfall. And then you have your evapotranspiration, grass, ET, soil moisture from storage, SM, and surface water, storage, delas, or Q in, and then the river discharge going out is Q out. You can also have a groundwater in. So in today's lecture, we will look at one particular centralized database. So when I say state and central, there is two things. One is that the data all is kept at a state level, and it is managed by a state level, which means the state agency spares for it. In today's lecture, we understand that even though there are state agencies, it has to be supported mostly by the central agency. Like the Tamil Nadu government, we saw that we have the Envis website, but it is under the Ministry of Forest and Family Change from the central government. And then there is data.gov.in websites and all. So for this aspect, the Indian water resource agencies have created one database where all the data that is collected from the central agencies or the central government agencies is stored. For example, the central agencies for rainfall is your IMD, which is the Indian Meteorological Department, and then the evapotranspiration is also from IMD or it can be from agricultural agency, the soil moisture can also be from either these, surface water is from CWC, which is the Central Water Commission, the groundwater is from groundwater both. So you can see that the central agencies are always there to collect these data and they could be stored in this centralized database that we wouldn't look at. So it is called WRIS, the India Water Resource Information System. So India WRIS is what it is called. It is a multi-source and multi-data platform for water management. Multi-source because one source is rainfall, one source is your groundwater, etc. So all these sources are mapped in. There is also another meaning for sources where it comes from, which is your multi-data. It can come from your state agencies, it can come from the local agencies, NGOs, etc., some of the data and or your space agencies, which is your ISRO and other data boards. So you need to be careful in understanding these linkages between the data. It is not only one data source, it can be multi-source data and multi-data source. So multi-source data means where the data is coming and multi-data means what is it talking about? Is it rainfall, groundwater, etc. So just for groundwater, as I said, you can have data coming from Central Groundwater Board and you can also have data coming from the State Groundwater Board. So if you look at these differences, you can easily capture that there is a lot of data and you could use it very wisely for water management. Let's look at a few for our water budgets. I'm not going to go through all the databases because that itself will be a couple of weeks lectures, but I'll just show you some so that you get understanding on how to use these websites. Okay, rainfall. So the first data that we're going to look at is rainfall. The key agencies are IMD, which is the Indian Meteorological Department, and also ISRO, which is the space agency that gives you the data. Okay, so both of these could be clubbed together as one data or they could be separate. IMD can be separate and ISRO can be separate. ISRO has an agency called NRSE, National Remote Sensing Center, and multiple agencies are there under ISRO like SAC, Space Application Center, etc. So these centers collect these raw satellite data and convert it to a satellite product so that you could easily run these analysis for across the country. So what you could do here is you have your state agencies and NGOs, WRIS, etc. You could look at the different sources for rainfall data and you can map them for your village or rural area as per your need. So let me open this website so that we could share what it is in this database. Just because of the internet, I have just put the same thing search here in the Google, India Water Resource Information System. So I'm going to click search and the first thing that comes up is do India WRIS. If you click it, this opens. Okay. If it is fast, then I'll just set it. So it does take some time the internet bandwidth and etc. So give it some time, and you will have this website open. So this is the India Water Resource Information System, the same as I showed in my slide, and also there are multiple tabs that work for the database. It is one under the Government of India Ministry of Jalshakti and Department of Water Resources Research and Development. It is a ministry and then you have a department. So all these come under the logo of the Government of India. And you could see that multiple, multiple, you know, links are given databases are given new data sources are given. I'm just coming down to show you what it is. But just to stick on to today's lecture, I will go to home, which is this webpage, and then about WRIS those who want to read about it can read it. But I'm going to go to water data. We are looking at mostly water data. And I'm going to go to rainfall. So rainfall comes under the hydro meteorological. So go down four points and then go to the right. So how you navigate in this website is you have to move your cursor onto water data. Do not click. If you move your cursor on top of it, the data poplates and then just come down. Do not click the mouse just come down and then you will see rainfall populating automatically when your mouse is there. Now you could click rainfall because the arrow mark is shown. So what did you see is in hydro meteorological, you saw multiple databases, right? So it is not only your rainfall but also evapotranspiration, soil, moisture and these things. All these we would look into this week's lecture. So I've opened the WRIS, I've opened the hydro meteorological rainfall. Once you open it, this is the image that comes, which is a dynamic image, dynamic because you can move it, you can zoom in, zoom out. And also the data can change. Okay. So this is the first point I would like to share with you. This is an India map with rainfall and the grid coloring of the rainfall pattern is given like this. So 0 to 600 millimeters per year is red and wherever it is blue, it is more than 1800 mm rainfall. And as per class, you would know where these regions are. Mostly it's the western guards along the Ganges plain and regions of West Bengal and Brahmaputra region. But most of Central India and the northern are still under 0 to 600, 800 mm rainfall, which is kind of scarce. All these are in district level heads. Okay, so if you could zoom in and as a case study, I will zoom into Maharashtra. Let me go back a step. You have all these districts. So when you move your cursor, these districts will turn bold. You see the line changing color. Okay. And then it turns into a finger. When it turns into a finger, you can click. Okay. So this is on this side. On your right side, what you see is area of focus because whole India is shown in this image. This is India and the data monthly cumulative rainfall from 01, June 21 to 27 March 2022, which is two days ago using IMD data grid. So up to two days ago, the rainfall is being calculated and an average annual rainfall is given here. The normal rainfall for the entire country is around 115,015 mm of normal rainfall. Actual is how much is it happening now. So normal is the average. It could be a 10-year average rainfall. And what is the actual is a little bit less. So we are slightly in the negative. That is what percentage deviation from normal is 5%. So you have your actual rainfall data as the line. You could see there. The normal, sorry, the normal is millimeters in the line. The actual is less than normal, which is the red color and actual, which is greater than normal, which is the blue color. You can click and remove those whatever you want to see. And as I said, you really need the rainfall for both the seasons. And this is also coming in the line axis. Okay. So you could download this data. You can look it as a line chart. Now I've converted the column graph into a line chart to see where the rainfall goes above the normal. And you could see that what is happening is the rainfall is slightly going up and down. Two peaks are happening rather than one single peak, which used to happen in the normal average period. But here you could see that it is changing slightly. And there is a slight elongation of the rainfall, which is like the rainfall is above average during the non-arranging rainy season. But most importantly, during your summer season when the crops are growing and also the monsoon season, there is a less rainfall recorded as per the normal. Then you could look at on your left, you have different applications and layers. The application is rainfall. So don't click on that. If you want to go back and change it, you can click here. I normally would pull this thing up and then go to here and change it if you want to change it. Okay. These are just tools to move your map back and forth and see where you want to locate the map. And then these are the reports and registrations if it is needed. Similarly, you need to have a login account, but sometimes just the data you can get the non-sensitive data you can get without login. You can also, the page is divided into three small panels. You can also move the panel if you want to see a bigger picture of the area. And then you have all these. See, you could change it to a line graph. You can download the data as a PDF or an Excel file, which is a comma subreddit value file. It is not .excel, it will be .csv, but you can change it to Excel. And then you can make it big or expand as needed. So now I've expanded it to see how it is. Just click the X mark. It will go back. So this is how you can look at the data and then I'll show you how to zoom into a particular state and then collect the data. You can see here all the states are given. All the regions, the UU, the union territories, everything is given. So we have around 37 states and union territories, including your Andaman, Nicobar Islands, etc. Okay, so I've clicked cashmere and went there. Suppose you accidentally click a particular state, you can come back by going on the top and then click India. It will come back to India whole scale. So here's how the data is given and the average monthly cumulative rainfall information from this data is given. Cumulative. Okay, so monthly cumulative for one year is this much. Not monthly, we get 1000 mm, that's too much. Okay, so it is an annual taken at monthly data, monthly cumulative you add every month and then per year you get the information. It's kind of an average. Good. So now we will see a particular state. But before that, let me go to the left side panel. You have different layers. If you click the layer button, you will get what layers you want on this boundary. For example, you can have base layers. You can have street maps or boon maps, depending on your internet speed, just let the default because it will pick the right map for you. And in the overlays, do you want state boundaries? If you don't want state boundaries, you can remove it, see now it is gone, or you can have basin boundaries, which are the major water boundaries. Now you can see it coming slowly. I can take the state boundaries so that you can see the blue line. These are the water basin boundaries. You can also add sub basins, depending on the size. If you zoom in, it will slowly populate. It takes a lot of internet bandwidth because there's a lot of sub basins. So I'm going to remove it. And then the India boundaries, India rainfall heat map. So this is what is called the base layer. What is behind the data is called the base. As I said, it may consume a lot of power. So don't overdo it. If you add too much on it, then the layers may collapse. Let's say, for example, you are having the open street map. If you want boon, just click boon, it will slowly populate. Why is this information needed is because when you zoom into a particular location and you want to see where it is located, it is better to have that zoomed in. So for example, if I'm zooming into Jaipur, I know where Jaipur is so I can put that data there. Let me go back to overlays and then I click the heat map for rainfall. Only India is given. You could see the full India data set is there, including all the boundaries of India north and other regions. So it is very important as an Indian citizen, you should use the correct rainfall data from the government of India and the boundaries are also given as per the government of India. So this is, if you want to zoom in, you can do use a plus sign. You can go in. For example, I'm going into the Maharashtra region. You can zoom out by clicking the minus sign. And this is to zoom into an area. When you click this, you can actually draw a box. See, I'm drawing a box here and I want to go further in. So now you could see the district boundaries coming up. The state is still there, but slowly the district boundaries are coming up. If you want to zoom in again, you can do like this. I'm just drawing more boxes. And you can see that block level data is also shown. So this is a block. This is one block, multiple blocks. I'll show you how to extract the data once we give a tour of this website.  But if you want the correct way to see it, you can just click full extent. It will take you to the Indian boundary. Then you can clear your map selections. Sometimes you would have drawn a box, you have clicked on a data, particular data, you can clear it. And then you can also do a map comparison between years. Okay, so I'll just click and show you for the sake of it. So I've clicked map comparison and two maps are opening side by side and give it time because the data is populating. You can see the blue line moving. It is the rainfall data populating. So now what is the difference? It is the same. Okay, you could see this as the same color, this as the same color. The date is the same, date is the same. The idea is you could change this date for a particular season and you could run this slider to do the comparisons. How was it before? How was it after? Okay, normally this should, you should be able to change it, but they're still working on this comparison. So it does take some time. Or you can see the full extent in both their images. Normally it should not be mirrored. So this is the same as Sentinel and NASA data, how they have two windows. On one side you can have 2022 data, on one side you can have 2021 data, and now you could do the comparison. So these are the buttons that are available. Okay, and just because you may accidentally click it. I'm just going to show you what else is there. You can click the applications to bring back it. Okay, so admin layer is the boundaries. Okay, the small lines that you see. If suppose you don't want to see the admin boundary, you want the basin boundary, you can click the basin.  And now all this would be at a basin level. Okay, so I'm going to click one particular basin and it will populate. So now the India is still focused on India. You can see the rainfall data, but I'm going to click on one basin. So when I move the finger on the Ganges, you can see that it turns like a pointer finger. If it moves a mouse, and I just clicked on it, now the Ganges is done. How do I know it is the Ganges basin? Because here you have the India Ganges name, India slash Ganga. So now if I zoom in further to the sub basin level, the sub basin name will come. Okay, so now what is the rainfall in the Ganges? It is 1025 millimeters. Is it same as the India data or lower? It is lower than the normal average of India. India is 1115 whereas this is 1025. This is normal. The actual is 1097. So we are having better rainfall for the Ganges basin. And there is a plus 7% deviation. So now the difference between the average and the actual rainfall is positive by 7%. And that is what is given here for your information. Okay, so we have seen the Ganga Ganges basin and you could see where the data is coming from. So where is the data coming from? Let me go back to admin boundary so that we have the whole of India and every state boundaries map. So now the state boundaries are there. You can go back, view, like click this button. See if you, since I clicked this, the box tool is still there. If you want to remove the box tool, just click the box again. So for example, I'm zooming in, I'm drawing a box here. I'm zooming into that part. Okay, it's like same as zooming in in your PPTs and your other presentations.  And if you want to bring back that tool out from this map, the box tool, you can click the box again. Now there's no box. Okay, so now we're back at 1115 millimeters. Look at the units. It is millimeters. The units are very important when you do these comparisons and data. So be please be careful about this. The second thing I would like to showcase today is the source. Do you want all the agencies which you can click all and all the agencies data would be used for this map. Or you could just say IMD grids or NRC. So IMD is your Indian Metrological Department grid. So it is divided into grids, the Indian region. For example, this is, it'll be like horizontal and vertical lines. And then you have grids. It's equally spaced. So this is what grid one to it's very small, not this big, but just for drawing I have done it. So this is what a grid is. And then you have your time stamps. How often do you want the data. If you click on the timestamp is a daily monthly or yearly. Again, you want yearly is just to say that I want to look at data for a particular region you can swap between the timestamps in the next class I will actually show you how to look at data for a particular region. Let's, if you do daily, be careful you need to have good internet and good space to store the data, because every day you're going to collect data. You can put monthly and you can put a selection of when to when that is what happens in the start date area. And let's just click one date. And then if you click it, it is this end date. So for starting date and date and what method do you want you want the sum average or min max. So let's see average. And then I'll just pick a month and then submit. Now the data is going to update and then you will see the data from 2015 to 2022. But again, as I said, I will explain each of these in the next class, so that we can take one example of the data. You see here the data has been populated and the rainfall has been given as a monthly data and an average monthly average. Okay, and that is why you see the sinusoidal waves. The average is up down up down because it is a rainy season non rainy season alternating alternating and coming right. And then you have for the whole country, the average monthly rainfall is one zero two M in the normal range, the actual for the last year has been 155 mm and a 53% positive deviation. So that's why I said it's always better to do yearly so that you remove the noise the undulating is what we call noise. You can you can click on the date and the date is you don't see the months anymore because it is going to be a year and you can say average or some you could say average. So I've taken two years and then you see the data that is populating. You can you can take off the rainfall data if you want the stations where the data is being collected. Okay, so all these are coming and now once you have the data also if you come down you have the states. If you click the state it goes to district and from district block and till this level. So I will show this in the next class. Now for now this class I've showed you how to go to this website, which is the WRIS website, and also to zoom in and zoom out use all these tools for your data on your water budget equations. But this I will see you in the next class. Thank you.


for some people it's a bit confusing what does it mean and I can't stress the importance enough of on LinkedIn advertising yourself now my humble and strong recommendation where possible try to avoid easy apply. Hey guys welcome to AXI Vlogs on this channel I talk about life work and business in Dubai and today I have a guest Tricia Chapman she is a career consultant we film already a lot of videos and you can find all of them on my youtube channel related to how to find a job in Dubai there are a lot of useful tips and today we have a video specific for those who have more than 12 or 15 years of experience and they want to find a job in Dubai so Tricia what can you recommend for those who are looking for a job in Dubai but they have more than 12 years of experience. Yeah it's a good question because to be honest with you you know those with us with a little bit more of experience probably would be considering where we want to be finalizing our career so it's really important and again and networking but alongside of this is how you showcase your unique selling proposition and that goes just beyond your job so your your work history you really need to showcase you know thought leadership agile leadership showcasing your problem-solving capabilities and quantifiable metrics so really demonstrating what is your unique selling proposition with clear numbers percentages how can you enhance the company's bottom or top-line figures so rather than just showcasing responsibilities on your CV you know demonstrating and articulating really clear-cut achievements so on top of this now of course you know there's so many jobs going through the the portals but start personal branding no I really can't stress the importance of enough to showcase you know what leadership have you got within the community or within the workplace understand the culture you know of where you're going to be moving and showcase this because if you're not noticed on the digital space it's really difficult to be standing out just through a job application and as you know the first thing that you do you know when you sit receive a CV or you've shortlisted five or six candidates you'll want to know a little bit more about them who are they connected with maybe they've got board board member experience what other curricula extracurricular activities have they been doing outside of the workplace guys before you continue I want to say that if you've been looking for a job in Dubai but you have no success you feel frustrated Trisha can help you with your job search journey so Trisha please can you tell us what services you provide how you can help with my pleasure I would absolutely love to be able to help you in unlocking your potential I'll be able to assist with all of the necessary tools for a successful job application so what does that mean a CV an ATS compliant resume of course linked in optimization cover letters personal branding and showcasing how you can unlock your potential and the most important question do you help to conduct with recruiters absolutely so in all of my packages you receive a list of all of the UAE recruiters here as well as a list of available jobs and you're talking about networking but for some people it's a bit confusing what does it mean and where do they need to go because they don't know they just moved to Dubai or they're moving to Dubai so what they should do yeah so I guess you know people tend to stick to their own nationalities or small groups you know something that they're comfortable with you know for example Aussies will always generally hang out with Aussies or South Africans usually hang out with go to the bar or whatever with their other South African crew so it's important here in Dubai it's such a multicultural area that you really go out of your way maybe even get out of your comfort comfort zone to be attending events that maybe you wouldn't usually do so you know this is where you'll meet connections this is where you'll get to be able to interact maybe you could volunteer even as a guest speaker somewhere and do some volunteering even just to showcase you know your true leadership style and mix with people that you generally you that you wouldn't because this is where the opportunities come so in addition to all those communities I think LinkedIn also is a great way how you can build networking right yeah absolutely I mean there's lots of different groups that you can join and of course not all of them are active but even the events you know people post their upcoming events on LinkedIn and this is probably one of the strategies that I cover in either my one-to-one services any master classes that I run and and the UAE jobseeker package I've got like a checklist that ensures that you know how to use the platform so definitely feel free to you know to reach out if you would like any help and and of course your audience is more than welcome to to using your code or whatever you would like how senior management can move through different sectors yeah it's a good question because when you've got you know a number of years under your belt you've generally done quite a lot of things so you know you've probably covered a little bit of marketing in your time the commercial you've had P&L experience coaching mentoring people management and the supply chain HR you know you've you've done a done a lot especially if you've even done a consulting role and but it's really important to be showcasing your talents your experience your unique selling proposition that is specifically for that advert so yes you may have done all of this but really focus fine-tune your skill sets towards what that JD is asking of you so you know really highlighting your skills in terms of umbrellas so you could list you know maybe four or five different skills and then outline the achievements within those skill sets and then go on to your to your work history and I can't stress the importance enough of on LinkedIn advertising yourself get noticed you know really make sure that you're you're driving your personal brand with this type of content so tell the world be confident and happy about what you've done I have a very interesting question let's say I have 10 years of experience but then I go on my tour need to leave and some women when they go back to work like companies that they don't want to hire them because they kind of lost these two years they're not up to date with their knowledge so what can you recommend in this case yeah I love it I love it because first of all you know it's a part of female you know a part of family life you know you can't stop this it's inevitable it's going to happen and employees get it I mean you know so many people go on maternity leave and it shouldn't be a reason why you shouldn't be hired so just be open and honest you can literally list it on your resume or on your application and you know 18 months maternity leave or you know family time and then just put the timeline and employees employers understand this okay I'm sure that there's other females in the HR department it's natural but so make sure that during this time maybe you would do a couple of quick or short courses to keep yourself up in the market linked in learning for example or and you know a six to eight week course that you can find online just so that you know even if you did it over the over the 18 months but at least that you showcase that you've still got that skills you're still showing professional development and even if you haven't you know what it's totally fine it's totally fine it just means that you would have to try other ways or showcase what you did prior more heavily let's say there is a station when you have 15 years of experience in one company but then for some reason you decide to move to another place or find another job how do you showcase that you are ready for another opportunity these days it's it's quite rare that people have stayed in the in the one company for 15 years that's for sure but definitely I mean if this happens and people do struggle I mean and you know you're generally you're quite comfortable you are you know a leader within that sector and then a time the time comes for you to move along whether it was your choice or not and you feel a bit lost you know you haven't applied for a job in 14 15 years like how do I do this so you know don't worry it's possible it's doable and how do you do it so again it's really important that you are showcasing only the skill sets that are required for that company or that job description and and really fine-tuning yourself so being as specific as you can that is relevant for that position so you want to showcase and give a little bit of flavor of what you have done over your career you know being clear with your executive summary showcasing specific software or specific experience that would be able to improve that next company's trajectory and really focus in on your on your achievements so you know keeping your documents to two pages you know but then presenting other documents you know whether it's having strong references and your gap analysis of the company and really going above and beyond just a CV you know you've got to think outside the box because don't forget and you've done a lot in the in the one company but you only want to be showcasing something that is relevant and specific for that application and some companies they require a correlator and it's recommended to add correlator to your CV but when you apply through LinkedIn usually they through that apply button you only one document it's your CV so in this case it means that you don't need to attach correlator or do you advise to add correlator in that one document yeah so there's two no it's a good it's a good question so there's two options on LinkedIn so there's easy apply and apply now my humble and strong recommendation where possible try to avoid easy apply why because it initially or first screens your LinkedIn so if you don't have the right keywords the right match on your LinkedIn profile you will automatically be ranked less than compared to going to the apply button where you've got the chance to be able to upload purely your CV okay and then yeah exactly so and the senior managers generally require a cover letter it will say you know when you go to the portal whether it's Workday or the company internal portal it will say you've got the option to upload your CV your cover letter and any other additional documentation so unless it specifically states cover letter I wouldn't be uploading it as an additional information so follow the instructions so I know it sounds simple but I wouldn't be adding a see a cover letter to the top of the CV it's just extra information that recruiters will probably just scroll past unless it's requested okay and one more question are there any specific recruitment companies or executive search firms that that are looking for like people with 15 years of experience can you recommend any of them yeah so they are they do exist out out there there's quite a number of executive search firms here however in saying that and again be careful not all of them are legitimate and second of all don't purchase something so you shouldn't have to be paying to be on their platform so I would just be you know really conscious it's actually illegal here in Dubai to be accepting money or you know funds from the job seeker so if companies are saying you know they would take some of your salary then then it's illegal you cannot do that so the the executive search firms are generally legitimate here they work for the clients though you know you do have to register you'll have to fill out all of your information on each and every one of the of the platforms which it unfortunately it's time-consuming and I do have quite a big list so I'm happy to share that with you you know you can you can put on the link below and you can download it it's all in one Excel file and but guys don't pay you shouldn't be paying it's totally illegal here to be accepting any form of salary shares with with an executive search firm and I think it's it's related to everyone who is looking for a job absolutely so usually company who is looking for a candidate they're paying to recruitment agency yeah okay thank you so much guys again if you have any questions or you need help with funding a job in Dubai you can reach out to Trisha she'll help you to craft your CV she'll help you with your LinkedIn optimization she will provide you a consultation how you can stand out on the markets and find your dream job in Dubai thank you for watching and all the links are in the description under this video see you soon bye bye


Hi, I'm Robin Seafill. I'm grateful to have been selected as the recipient of the Special Session Scholarship for new students and I'm excited to begin my journey towards earning my master's degree in library and information sciences. There are many career pathways I am interested in learning about while attending the SJSU iSchool and I look forward to refining my goals and discovering new ways to integrate my past experience with my future and less degree. Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, I was a tour and lighting director and programmer for concert tours, music festivals, and other live events and frequently traveled all over the world. As we know, live events came to an abrupt halt in March 2020 and the live events industry is still far from recovered. I personally was expecting to work on two concert tours and five music festivals this year, all of which were canceled due to the pandemic. After witnessing and living through the effects of the pandemic on the live events industry, I feel a strong desire to advocate for the people working in the behind the scenes roles. I also feel a sense of urgency to record, preserve, and archive the stories and artifacts from concert tours and other live events. As many concert venues and theaters have been forced to close their doors permanently due to the pandemic, we are starting to lose important pieces of our culture and history. By achieving my endless degree, I hope to find work that not only sustains me personally, but that allows me to remain an asset to the industry that I have been a part of for over 15 years. I am grateful to the Student Awards and Scholarship Committee, Dr. Linda Main, and the School of Information faculty for their encouragement and faith in me as a new student. Thank you.
