Think takeaway code. We have a solar battery program today with Paul Maday, regional operations manager for a national solar integrator and Larry Lee, energy consultant for the same company. Before we get on with our guests, let me ask, when is a duck, not a duck? Hmm. When it becomes a race car, do you have batteries in your Belfry, Howard? Let me explain. Something called demand profile for electric utilities. At six in the morning, the demand for electricity is really, really low. It begins to climb, climb, climb, climb, pretty dramatically, reaches a daytime peak around 9.30, 10 in the morning, and is pretty smooth all day long until in Hawaii, Hawaii's uniqueness, the curve goes up, up, up, up, up as everybody comes home and turns everything on and all the tourists come back from their tours and their beaches and so forth, turn all the hotel rooms on, all the restaurants on. So we have this evening peak goes up to about 7.30 and gradually starts coming down again. And that is the traditional utility demand curve, but Hawaii, as you well know, leaves the nation in photovoltaic or PV installations and what's happened to that curve is it's going up, up, up, up, up till around 10, 10.30 in the morning and then it starts going down, goes down, down, down, down, down, down and reaches its nadir low point around 1.30 in the afternoon and then starts gradually going back up and by now the low is so low and that old evening peak is so high that the profile looks in the morning like a duck's tail then it goes down to that swooping duck's back and it goes up to the head of the duck and then goes down so you get the peak of the duck. That's what we in the utility business call the duck curve, but Larry and Paul are going to explain to us a technology that is going to raise that midday depression and level things up just like all of us need to do which will be the essence of their explanations. Oh, so race car. So the new demand profile will ideally look more like a race car kind of sleek in the middle of the day and then go up just a little bit at night and we will, I've gone on long enough, we'll explain all the virtues and everything like that. So Paul, would you begin by giving us a little background about NEM and the demise of NEM and the demise of solar permits and these new emerging storage technology that's coming on? Absolutely, thank you hard. NEM, Net Energy Metering, which is what we had in Hawaii for many years here. Like you explained, doesn't jive so well with the demand curve here because solar and renewables in general are very intermittent in their delivery, their generation. They peak when the sun comes out midday or when clouds pass or when the wind blows for that matter. And it doesn't really align very well with the utility demand curve. So when we hit a point, a saturation level such that Hawaii has at 17 and 19% of all residential households or something there about with PV, that's a lot of sort of uncontrolled indiscriminate generation out there with not a lot of demand to soak it all up. So Net Metering has expired and has been eliminated. It's no longer an option for PV here in Hawaii like it is many other places in the country. We're several years ahead of the rest of the country in regards to how much PV we have. But there are pockets in California, New Jersey, places like this where they've had good incentives and the industry's been booming that aren't too far behind. So while we may be the Canary in the coal mine here, there are other places, other markets that will follow suit. So what we're left with right now is the customer self-supply program. You might explain what that is. So what that is is basically a tariff that has mandated now that we have to produce, store and consume all of our solar generation on site. We are not allowed to put any electricity back onto the Hawaiian electric grid. Whereas Net Metering counted on a buyback credit essentially of one kilowatt hour in exchange for one kilowatt hour return for one kilowatt hour production put onto the grid. We're no longer allowed to put anything on the grid. So what that means to offset a substantial amount of customer residential homes usage is we need to generate a lot more electricity during the day when we have available sunlight, store it on site and then use it at night by in most cases, discharging a battery, charging and discharging a battery. So what we're seeing here in Hawaii now is the onset of solar 2.0, solar plus solar photovoltaic plus battery storage on most if not all of the new installations. Yeah, and this looks like it's going to be, I was gonna say the wave of the future. Actually it's more like the wave of the present. Again, Larry, we lead the nation in this field. So how quickly are we going towards the battery? And you don't have to go self supply. You can do battery and still interconnect with the utility, isn't that correct? Well, at this point, Howard, the only option it is only self supply today. Oh really, you can't have a battery and say I want a little bit here and a little bit there from the utility or? The self supply program still is a grid connected system. So we retain or a customer would retain their meter on the property. Just the solar is set up via the programming, the firmware on the inverter. So as to monitor how much the house is using and delegate where it sends electricity to either the home, the battery or in fact, if all of those loads are addressed, it's able to curtail production. So it's never overproducing and pushing anything back. This is more complex than I understood it then. Yeah, so they are grid tied. We're not off grid. These still are tied to the grid. Yeah, yeah. So is it the future? Is it the present? I'd say it is the present and it is the future at the same time. We're moving towards that mark. And just given people that empowerment power, allowing them to create their own power on their own routes, generate power and store their own power. I mean, technology has moved and this is the future here today. In virtually all my programs, I like to cite Moore's law. It was invented by a professor, Moore, who was one of the founders of Intel. And way back when he noticed how quickly computer technology was evolving, not evolving, revolutionizing. And he said the storage capacity of a computer is gonna double every 18 months while the size is gonna go in half. And he was pretty well right on the money. He did this 40 years ago, such that if a Volkswagen Beetle, which prevailed back then, had followed Moore's law, it would get 200,000 miles to the gallon, go, no, go 200,000 miles an hour, get 2 million miles to the gallon and cost six cents. That's how Moore's law revolutionized. And the point being that the rest of other technologies, they're not going that fast, but we live in revolutionary times and storage batteries are a prime example of this. Indeed, yeah. Capacity is increasing, size decreasing and cost coming down, cost per kilowatt hour. Manufacturer and in turn retail costs to the consumer are dropping substantially, such that 10 years ago, if you'd have told somebody what technology is available right now and what they would have laughed at you. So I don't see that stopping, especially with economies of scale, as we start to deploy more and more of these, the more you build of anything the cheaper it's gonna get. And there was a heck of a lot of research going on which is making, and there's competition like men, making the technology better and better and better and better. This is a virtue of competition.  Exactly. Exactly. So one of our goals is to make PV plus battery as ubiquitous as a water heater, a hot water heater in a house. It should be just an appliance that essentially everybody has. And from my standpoint, I've worked for the State Energy Office. We're shooting for 100% clean energy by the year 2045. You get a technology like this into what I think there's over 200,000 single-family residences in this state. You get them into the majority of them. And that big curve that I described is just gonna be a small little minimal curve which will enable the utility to use only its most efficient power plants. Right now it has to fire up any efficient power plants to meet that evening. Yeah, and that's, so when you talk about solar plus storage, you can look at it on the residential homeowner level, a distributed resource. And then of course you will see these utility scale, solar plus PV, large scale installations. Both have their merits, pluses and minuses to both, but they can be used in that demand response capacity to eliminate those inefficient peaker plants. They can store that intermittent generation that we talked about earlier, when the clouds pass or when the wind blows and bank that generation, when it's available into the battery, discharge and smooth out that curve very quickly. It's very responsive. How about microseconds? Yeah, yeah. Because in utility you need those microseconds.  Your computers are not going to be very happy with that. Correct. Extremely responsive, always there, very reliable. And you don't run the risk of major environmental catastrophes with them as well, like we've seen in California with the Eliso Canyon leak. Yeah, which we will, let's do that in the second half of the program. Believe it or not, we've already reached the halfway point. Howard Wigg, Think Tech, Hawaii with Larry Lee and Paul Monday of a national solar integrator back in a moment. Look and energize your Friday afternoon. Tune in to stand the energy man at 12 noon. Aloha Friday here on Think Tech Hawaii. I'm Ethan Allen, host of Lakeable Science here on Think Tech Hawaii. Every Friday afternoon at 2 p.m., you'll have a chance to come and listen and learn from scientists around the world. Scientists who talk about their work in meaningful, easy to understand ways. They'll come to appreciate science as a wonderful way of thinking, way of knowing about the world. You'll learn interesting facts, interesting ideas. You'll be stimulated to think more. Please come join us every Friday afternoon at 2 p.m. here on Think Tech Hawaii for a Lakeable Science with me, your host Ethan Allen. Aloha and happy new year. It's 2017. Please keep up with me on Power Up Hawaii where Hawaii comes together to talk about a clean and just energy future. Please join me on Tuesdays at one o'clock. Mahalo. Good afternoon again, Howard Wigg, Code Green, Think Tech Hawaii, Paul Meckie and Larry Lee of a national solar integrator. We covered the Hawaii scene and we are the leaders in many ways, national leaders. But of course, California has about 40 times our population. No, not 40 times, about 33 times our population and they are doing big things when it comes to batteries. Can you describe that? Yeah, so we hit on a little bit earlier. The natural gas leak that by all accounts was the largest man-made greenhouse gas release in history, absolutely catastrophic for the environment as well as many people sick and displaced because of it. And this was a methane leak and methane is a very, very potent greenhouse gas. Correct, and even locally we've had with our distributed energy resources the Cahuca Wind Farm fire with some of this old technology and that was a battery but it was the old style lead acid batteries The batteries that you and I used to grow up with that were in our cars. So in response to that, both of which were eye-opening, we have seen the advent of large-scale utility storage in California, again that methane leak was fuel for a peaker plant to combat the rolling brownouts and blackouts that they have in California. Now there's actually three major installations totaling somewhere in the neighborhood of 300 megawatt hours maybe a tick less of battery storage that was deployed in record time. Some of those projects went in in just a matter of months from essentially the signing of contract to flipping the switch. Yeah, because this was an emergency. Absolutely, absolutely. And the Cahuca Wind Farm while it was blemish on renewable plus storage has done nothing but further the safety aspect of this new round of battery technology made for a much safer product. Yeah, disasters have a way of waking people up. Unfortunately. Yeah, so we're talking hundreds and hundreds of megawatts and just to put that in perspective the peak demand for O'ahu is about 1200 megawatts or maybe it's down to 1,100 now. So 300 megawatts, that's a huge chunk of all of O'ahu. It is. Just to put that, and I believe there's more and more and more batteries coming up in Southern California. In Southern California as well as Hawaii here. Kauai in particular is a leader in utility scale PV plus battery storage. There was just a large installation completed and another one or two, I know one absolutely in the works that'll be the state's largest. Yeah, and Kauai only has 65 million people on post-tourist and already there was a one point, I had the president Dave Bissell of Kauai Electric on a few months ago. There was a point once when 100% of Kauai's energy fed off of solar in the middle of one day and with more coming on, that's gonna be common for them. I believe they may be the world's leaders in this. Per capita, very possible, yeah. And they have been able to integrate the battery technology into the grid technology in a wonderful way. They have, yeah. And KAUC, the Kauai Island Utility Cooperative has been driving that, if not for their ambition to beat the state's mandates, that wouldn't be happening.  I think there were two minor fires. I was talking to the deputy fire chief and they put those out, okay, and then came the major one. Yeah. So, but how about new battery technologies? Do they have any such dangers? Well, I mean, anything's possible in the world but there's the new technology, be it a lithium ion or a flow battery or any of the several viable technologies out there have a number of fail-saves built in to prevent what's known as thermal runaway in the industry where one battery cell heats up and triggers the next and the next and the next and it's a domino effect. So, the major manufacturers now are building these batteries in such a way to isolate the individual cells and prevent them from triggering their neighbor cell from heating up and running away. In fact, the National Fire Protection Association has a test where they actually insert a heating element into the middle of one of these batteries and intentionally trigger a thermal runaway in a cell and try to get that to propagate and in several of the, now not all the manufacturers have gone through this but the ones that have, they've proven very, very reliable. I've heard that from other battery representatives to the point where some batteries are actually indoors now. Yes. Yeah. Correct. Larry, we hit a permitting, I won't say disaster, serious downfall when the NEMs went out. What about permitting for batteries? I think I've been hearing some good stories. At first it was the permitting guys didn't know quite what to do but what's going on with the industry now? Yeah, I mean, we all heard the horror stories of the net energy metering and how long it took and all the reviews that was going on. But I believe that today around the nation all the AHJs is trying to keep up with the industry's growth. ASJ? AHJs, yes. What is an AHJ date? That's the authority having jurisdiction. So, the city and county of Honolulu in our case. Especially working to the constraints of what they have is a little hard. They are working collectively to make things more efficient and the timeline has gone a lot shorter. So that's great news for consumers, of course. Yeah, I heard that it used to be months and now it's down to weeks or maybe just a couple of weeks or? We'll be looking at anywhere from two to three months. Oh, still? Oh, okay. Total timeline, I would say the city and county permitting process on average takes three to six weeks depending on zoning and a few other qualifications. Yeah, I always want to know about flood zones. I know about that. Correct. Yeah, yeah. You'll put the timeline between the permitting and installation that wraps about two to three months. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, because you're kind of behind in installations. You have the work you can handle or you have to schedule people. We certainly have more capacity. We'd like to be running both the utility approval and the county permitting process. They certainly are working with the industry but it's a more in-depth review than we were used to seeing in the past. I think there's a bit of education that still could be done to make everybody feel warm and fuzzy about it. But overall, it's been going surprisingly well compared to what it would have taken to permit a job with a battery a year ago. It's 90 day difference. Yeah, because the permit checkers, last thing they wanna do is permit a technology, battery or whatever, that is gonna burst into flames or somehow harm people. Their first line of defense is health and safety. And if they don't understand a new technology and there's always varieties of batteries, yeah. So while that one might be safe but is that one safe? Is that one safe? Yeah, yeah. And understanding that perspective and being able to work collaboratively with them and still be looking out for the customer's sake in the way of timelines and everything as a delicate dance. Yeah, you wanna please the customer and you wanna do a good installation. Correct. Yeah, yeah. So Larry, what about financing? You guys do in-house financing or are you just explain financing very carefully to a would-be client? Because of course he wants a good return on his investment. Sure, we have quite a few financial institutions, Howard, that have stepped in and created these PV loan programs for consumers. These programs allow homeowners to afford solar in a way that it makes economical sense to them. And of course, getting their return investment in a certain amount of timeline is most important. And the way that I track electricity prices is I read all this literature and the utilities say this, that and the other price but I look at my own utility bill and I'm on the low side because I don't consume that many KWH but I divide X by Y and I got my bill recently and even though prices have dropped quote unquote my last bill reflected 27.6 cents, a KWH hour that's still almost three times the mainland average. So you of course build that sort of factor into your financing estimates. Definitely and without bringing out our financial calculators, Howard, for consumers, I mean, a high retail cost of electricity is the obvious driver here. Yeah. In regions where grid is relatively unreliable, you have backup power is another selling point as well, right? People are starting to realize that when the grid goes out, Howard, a standalone system will also go down as well with it. And you see the commercials all the time where you have a neighborhood and everybody has rooftop solar but once the power shuts off there's only one house that's remaining that's watching the UH team right now. So it tells in itself there. Well, you know, that is very, very timely because at 4.30 yesterday afternoon what was going on in virtually every household in Hawaii, we were watching the Super Bowl and as I understand it all the way from Kaneohe way up the windward coast, there was stormy conditions over there and they went down, it went down for just a brief while for I think over 10,000 customers just when that fourth quarter was really warming up. I bet the phones were blowing up downtown at Hawaiian Electric. Or even worse, you look at what just happened recently with the windstorms over on Lanai where they were out of power for days on end or Hurricane Zell over on the Big Island where we had some of our customers down for over a week and a battery now can offer something that your net metering system could not in the way of backup power. Let's keep that Super Bowl rolling by George. Well, we just got a one minute wrap up do either of you have a supreme word of wisdom? Yeah, definitely Howard. I mean, to see where the industry has come from in the last few years, the tax credits have decreased. With tax credits anything could happen. Tax credits are put in place to award the early adopters, right? And I truly believe that the tax credits will either decrease or they might even do away with it. So now is the time to go solar and allow people to, we like to give people the ownership and the authority to make the only decisions. And we believe that consumers have the best deal today. And I, as a state employee and member of the energy office, I hardly embrace all technologies that get us closer and closer and closer to 100% clean energy by the year 2045, which is what, just 28 years away, something like that. But we are making, thanks to people like you, we're making very, very rapid progress. We're ahead of schedule already, yeah. Wonderful thing. Yeah, yeah, and if we just emulate Kauai by George, yeah. So that does it for another day, Think Tech Kauai, thank you. Paul, Mehie, and Larry Liu of a National Solar Integrator. See you next cold spring, thank you.


I started my skincare routine about six years ago when I started my YouTube channel but these products have made their way into my skincare routine and these are the ones that I will never ever be without. Hi friends I'm so glad you're with me today because today I am sharing with you a few of the products that I feel like have come into my skincare routine and have stuck. They're not going anywhere. I purchased them over and over again and I really feel very passionately about all of these. Now let's talk first about what you're not going to see in this video. You're not going to see cleansers because I switch those up quite often. A few that I really love as far as taking off makeup. I love the Hada Labo cleansing oil. I love the Good Molecules Cleansing Balm and then for regular cleansers or just a second cleanse I love Serbi hydrating foaming cleanser and there's a Neutrogena one that I love and then you're not gonna see Retin-A in here because my Retin-A doesn't go anywhere that's just what I use and then you're also not going to see SPF in here and that's because I kind of switch around with a couple that I really love. I do have a video where I talked about my top five which I will link for you that I really love. So all of those extra products I'll just put like honorable mentions or something down there in the description box so that you can see those but these products right here are they have my heart and my skin and I think that they are just something special. I'm pretty sure that all of these minus a couple will not be any surprise to any of you if you've been with me for very long. So let's start out with what I use for a toner. Oh by the way before we do that earrings and shirt I can't link I apologize I should wear something that I can't link but I shop at Ross and that's where this came from so I apologize for that. The finger nail polish I can link for you though so I'll make sure that I do that. Okay let's start off with a product that I found probably two years ago or a little bit more when it first came out and that's from Good Molecules. It's the Nice Cinema Brightening Toner and this says it is formulated with Nice Cinema Vitamin C Alpha Arbutin and Licorice root extract to brighten and improve the appearance of enlarged pores and when I first got this I used it very faithfully and I used it only in the morning and after about three weeks I'm like am I seeing things or does this really is this really starting to affect my skin? My pores felt like they were shrinking and it's that Nice Cinema that clears out the sebum and the dead skin cells and dirt and everything that has been existing in your pores so then they really do look diminished which is a huge deal for me. I have texture and I have pores and I do have pretty dull skin because I have a lot of age spots and darkness and I really feel like after about three weeks I was going wow and then by four weeks I was like okay this stuff is gonna stick around. I just it's one of those products that I've probably this might be my 10th maybe 15th 20th bottle that I purchased because this is something that is not very expensive and it's going to stay with me as long as I continue my skin care routine which I hope is a long long time. By the way I do use a glycolic toner occasionally too but I have three of those as well that I kind of switch off the ordinary is the strongest one and then Good Molecules just came out with one and then of course Pixie by Petra that one I have been using a lot they have sent me those and I love those too so I do use a glycolic toner occasionally like every other day and I use that right after I cleanse and then another serum so these are really the only two serums that I even have in my skincare at all and that is the Bifida Complex Repair and this is from Cranacell and this has 60% Bifida and 30% Galactomyces. Galactomyces and Bifida are both fermentations or from from the fermentation process and they act as an antioxidant and also they soften skin and they can work on wrinkles and fine lines as well. I've been using this one that has the two together because I found out that Lancome, Genevieve and Estee Lauder Night Repair they both have Bifida in them that's their main ingredient but either of those they are only about 10% or so 60% Bifida in this that is saying something for me I feel like when it's got a stronger strength when the ingredients are stronger in it it's going to be more effective and I have used both of those other products in the past and this one far outperforms it I love this I feel like it has helped with that brightness it has helped withholding the wrinkles at bay I mean let's get real what we've got we're we're going to soften a little bit and and retina is really the thing that goes in and helps it the most but this is something that can really help boost that and give it an extra oomph and I really like that and it's a fraction of the cost of those department store really expensive serums all right these next three are all oils well I shouldn't say they're oils they're oil based okay I got the ultra firming dry oil for neck and deglitate treatment from City Beauty this got sent to me when did they bring this out anyway they sent it to me like four weeks before it actually got to market for you guys and I just started using it immediately but I wasn't using it just on my neck and deglitate because I don't just have sagging skin there I have sagging skin everywhere so I started to incorporate this almost immediately I don't know if it's my imagination but I do feel like something really started to happen and just really am enjoying this oil now what I do with it is I actually pair it with these two oils so after I do my serums these are what's going to go on my face next on the nights that I don't use retina almost poke myself in the eye these are both from the ordinary and the one is a connective retinoid 5% in squalene is that it's a highly stable water-free solution of 0.5 ester of all trans retinoic acid and then the other one is the ethylated ascorbic acid 15% solution and exceptionally stable direct acting form of vitamin C so I had researched for quite a long time that retin A which is vitamin A really does a great job when it's used in tandem with vitamin C and that sounds like it would be too much for your skin but according to all the research that they have done those two vitamins will boost each other and they will make each other much more effective so why wouldn't we want our retin A to be more effective right well I don't use the vitamin C with with the actual Trentinoin or the retin A that I use the cream that I have but on the night so I alternate nights and on the nights that I don't these two along with this oil go on my face these two I started maybe six months ago and then this one came to me probably two and a half months ago and I got at and got added in I will not be without these because that's about the time when I started getting really good feedback from you guys about my skin looking better and it just it it was the only thing that I had added on a permanent basis I wasn't trying anything else out I wasn't you know experimenting with other products that I get sent these were it and then when I added this in I had the firming on top of it so vitamin C is a great antioxidant and I know a lot of you are gonna say you should use that in the morning but I do use the Bifida in the morning as well and also the good molecules does have a vitamin C in it so I do feel like I'm getting plenty of antioxidants but this combination at night I just have been noticing such a humongous difference and I won't be without them they're just fantastic now I'm going to beat a dead horse you guys are going to go Melissa you have talked to us at nosium about all of these products and I really have I have talked about the Sukiyaka Suhada products over and over and over again but we're gonna take a few minutes here and we're gonna talk about them again what these are the main ingredient in them is urea and somebody out there is going to say to me isn't urea by product of urine yes but they don't get it from urine they actually go in and they reproduce it in the lab so that it's safe for our skin so I have three different products one is the cream I don't consider this a cream I consider this a balm the other one is the eye cream and then the other one is a lotion which I don't consider a lotion either I consider this in essence because of how watery it is let's talk first about that one now urea does have this little property besides being super hydrating and that's what I use it for because my skin is extremely dehydrated and it also is very dry there can be a difference you can have oily skin and still have dehydrated skin because I have learned recently that the overproduction of oil can mean that your skin is dehydrated so urea just attacks both of those things it just really hydrates the skin better than most when people have like diabetic nerve damage in like their feet or their hands and their hands are really dry and stuff they will get them a football that has urea in it because it really does attack all of that moisture holding problem so when they start talking about moisture barrier I'm already on these urea products from suko yakuza and I'm already like on board and I already feel like my moisture barrier is never been compromised and so this one I use to kind of start out so I actually use this on top of my serums because it does like just hold all of the extra things in so this is my morning one that I use right before I use my spf so I'll use my serums and then this and then my spf mineral moisturizer that I use so that it's just indispensable to me and it makes my skin so soft throughout the day and moisturize throughout the day that I don't feel like I'm drying up like I was feeling like with other moisturizing products the other one that I feel like total game changer for me is their eye cream the under eye area on me is so crepey and so wrinkled from laugh lines and just as I age it just is getting so bad and it does have urea does have a tiny property of being able to exfoliate and this since this is an eye cream how many eye creams do you know that you can put up underneath there underneath that skin and help just fluff that so gently that you do see new skin and just everything looks great you don't but this does have that property in there but the moisturization that it does underneath my eyes right here for my eye makeup especially if you're wearing concealer I don't you know everybody probably knows that I don't wear concealers anymore but if you have that same problem that I do you need to have moisture to plump up those wrinkles and those fine lines so that they don't look so crepey I mean mine are going to look crepey no matter what I do because of how wrinkled they are but this makes me feel more confident about putting on eye makeup putting on the color corrector that I use and being able to wear stuff that's going to cover up my horrible dark circles by the way if you guys are hearing airplanes I live by an Air Force Base and they're going over they must be doing some major practicing today anyway the jets are going crazy today sometimes you can hear it on this microphone and sometimes you can't so that's what that is but this product right here I have been using again all of these probably maybe four years except for the balm which I want to talk about in just a second but it has really affected a huge change and I want all of you that have bought these products with me in the past let's say I've talked about them and you've bought them and you've been impressed by them would you please sound off in the comment section below and let everybody know what your experience has been because I can talk about it but it's really that you guys have picked it up after I've recommended it and then you have noticed a difference and I'd love to hear that from you the last one is the cream which I said is very balm like have you been noticing or have you seen the women that have been talking about putting petroleum jelly on their skin at night as a last step to hold everything in and to protect the moisture barrier at night I couldn't possibly do that because it's so heavy and so thick and it would break me out so bad even at my age and but this when I got it I was like singing you know the sky opened up and it was it was just great this is something that is very very special I love this this is a very very thick balm I can't shake it out of there I guess if I tipped it all day long it might come out of there but you can't shake it out of there I use this after I've done all of my skincare at night and I put a fairly heavy coat of this on please don't think that you're going to get this home and it's going to be a moisturizer that's going to sink in this is going to be tacky it's going to be balm like I put it thick underneath my eyes well all around my eyes across my lip and across my forehead those are the things that get the most dry at night with me but now that I've started doing this I can wake up in the morning and go like this across my eyes and realize that my eyes are still moisturized they're still a little bit tacky which is huge for me I live in the desert and we have dry-forced air when we turn on our heaters in the winter and that really is a kind of a one-two punch when you have dry skin anyway so this is such a savior for my skin I can't even begin to tell you if you have very dry parched skin and nothing has worked for you and you feel like it's just a lost cause please give this a try because I'm telling you that I was feeling that all of my serums and my essences those kinds

Marketing, marketing, marketing. It's all about marketing, isn't it? How many times have you heard the saying if you build a better mousetrap, the world will beat a path to your door? It's not true because if they don't know about your mousetrap, nobody's coming there to buy it. So you have to do marketing. In this video, I'm gonna walk you through all the steps that anybody can do. It'll make you a marketing master, I promise. Also, don't forget to give me a thumbs up. If you give me a thumbs up, I will put a picture of a cute puppy on the screen. There you go, that was worth it, wasn't it? Sure it was. Okay, let's get into this. Number one, promote, promote, promote. And what I mean by that is promote your content as much as you can. Put it on social media, put it on Twitter, put it on Facebook, put it on Instagram. Talk about it in your other videos. Talk about it in your blogs. Send out emails on it. Promote, promote, promote. That's what it all comes down to, guys. A lot of people are scared to promote. They say, well, I don't wanna ask people to watch my videos. It sounds like I'm begging.  But it's okay because that's called promotion. All the good sales people have always done that is to promote things. You gotta get over that embarrassment level. It doesn't matter, okay? Just go out there and promote. Number two is use content repurposing. What do I mean by content repurposing? I mean, that piece of content could be used many, many different ways. You could take a video and turn it into a written blog post by just putting the text there. That could be done. You could take your video and make it into a PDF download or your article into a PDF download with the steps on how to achieve something. You could do it as a guide. You could do it as you could take the main bullet points of your video and make that into a download also. There's so many things you could do. You could send out an email and notify the people about that content to solve some problem. Make sure you repurpose it. There's so many ways you can take your content and make something else out of it. Number three, publish your content. Optimize for Google Discover. If you don't know what Google Discover is, you need to, okay, this is super important. Let me put a couple of images up on the screen here so you can kind of see what it looks like. These are posts from Google Discover's and you can see it has a conversation button below it there. Optimizing content for Google Discover primarily comes down to publishing about trending topics, things that are popular, things that people are talking about, but there are a few things that you have to do. You have to have a mobile-friendly website. In addition to that, you've got to use unique, high-quality images and you have to align your content and meta tags so that they all match up. You also want to work on your eat. What is your eat?  You need to work on those things to really get good results with Google Discover. Let's look at number four. Number four is optimize for featured snippets to get into that rank number one. Let's talk about these featured snippets real quick. Featured snippets basically are things that are gonna be at the top of the Google search results and they normally answer a question that people are searching for on Google. Let's take a look at a screenshot real quick. Okay, on this one here, we searched how to do SEO and you see you have all these images here and it says to achieve this, remember to follow the five steps of good basic SEO. So they put that question on their site and then they answered it. And as you can see, it brought back all of these results right here and this was at the top of Google search result. The great thing about them is that they provide a shortcut to the top position and you can rank for position number seven for a keyword one day and jump to position number one and Google decides that your content is suitable for that. So it's not that hard to do. Number five, monitor and answer horror request. Horror, help a reporter out. You need to check out this site. So you wanna go to the website helparereporter.com, okay? And once you get there, you wanna sign up. You wanna say that you wanna be the person that's gonna answer questions. Now what's gonna happen is you're gonna pick different categories that you'd like to answer questions on. Throughout the day, in the morning, afternoon and night, you're gonna get questions that were posted on horror. Now, horror help a reporter out is reporters that are writing articles, doing stories and you could be in that story and have a link back to your site or your videos or your YouTube channel just by answering these requests. This is a free service guys. All you have to do is sign up for it. You're gonna get several emails during the day and all you have to do is answer them.  Okay, you wanna do concise answers. Usually under three to 500 words is the answer you wanna give because a lot of these reporters will just take what you provided them and they'll put it in the article. They're kinda lazy sometimes like that and they don't wanna have to rewrite it. So make sure you write it well. Use Grammarly to spell check it and all that good stuff. So it's well written. Now, don't answer any questions. Don't answer any requests that you don't have expertise in because they're gonna be totally ignored and you're wasting your time. Make sure you have the expertise and make sure you give a great answer. Number six, do guest post on relevant sites. Now, what is a relevant site? Well, we sell survival food. So if I did any guest posting, I could do it on survival sites. I could do it on preparedness sites. I could do it on emergency sites. Any of those things would match up and they can also bring traffic back to my site once they see who the publisher was. Three main things it does is it gives you credibility. It builds traffic and it gives you keyword ranking. So by doing just some guest post on some other sites, you can get more traffic. Number seven, create an affiliate program. Affiliate programs are great. I have an affiliate program. I have retailers and I have affiliate programs but you can list your products on varying different sites. Everything from share a sale to click bank, commission junction. There's so many of them out there you can search them. And by doing that, what you do is you take your product and you open up the market. So say somebody has a list of survivalists and they wanna sell our survival food, they can send an email out to their list and get paid for selling our products and they don't have to package them or ship them or do any of that stuff. We will actually drop ship all the products and then pay them a commission. This is something you can do for your business too. And it doesn't matter if you're a service business or a product business.  Now, some final thoughts. Marketing really surrounds several different things. It's product, it's price, it's place and it's promotion, the four piece. This has been around for a while. So you wanna make sure you have a good product, okay? I don't know how many times I have people come to me and they go, I really wanna sell this product but it's not very good but I wanna make some money on it. Step one, get a good product, okay? There's a lot of good products out there. If you don't have your own products, you could become an affiliate for somebody else but you gotta have good product. Step two, price. Price is very important.  It doesn't mean that at all. Our products aren't the cheapest on the market. However, they are some of the best products on the market. So we make up for having a little bit higher price with having a better product. Next thing is place. Where are you going to show your products? What social platforms? Are you gonna use a YouTube channel? Are you gonna use Facebook?  How are you gonna go about that? And then the last part is promotion. Promotion is something you don't just do once. That would be like, I'm gonna eat dinner once and for all. You can't do it, okay? Promotion is an ongoing thing. This is something you need to do constantly. You need to constantly come out with content. You need to constantly run ads. You need to constantly tell people about your business. Promotion never ends. It never ends. I mean, what car company do you know of that quit advertising that's still doing well? Probably none of them. Well, wait, there is Tesla. That's the only one I can think of, but Tesla's been able to pull it off. But they do a lot of promotion. They just don't run ads, okay? They do a lot of promotions and there's a lot of people that love their stuff and they talk about it and they have videos on it. So actually, yeah, they do promotion too. You can't get out of promotion. You can't do it. Very important. I hope this video helped you out.  Don't put it off.  They say it's too big to do. There's too much to do. Then do part of it. And then once you get that part done, do another part and another part and another part. It will all build. That's how my business got here. I started selling trinkets basically on eBay and it grew into a survival food manufacturing company. That's crazy, right? And then it grew into courses where I teach people how to make money online, of which I have some of those courses below. If you wanna check that out, feel free to do so. And I've also got a free course below. It will tell you a lot about marketing online. All you have to do is click the link below and learn. It's that simple.

From Hollywood it's time now for Johnny Duller Jake Kessler returning your call Johnny. I just got back here to my office. You've been at the hospital Yes, it looks like hard luck Dennis may pull through as he's been able to talk He's the key to the whole case Jake so phone me here as soon as he can be talked to Meantime I'm gonna try to snag me some of these Lake Mojave bass Tonight and every week day night Bob Bailey in the transcribed adventures of the man with the action-packed America's fabulous freelance insurance investigator is truly Johnny dollar From special investigator Johnny dollar location Catherine wash on the Colorado River To the greater Southwest insurance and liability company Kingman Arizona office Following as a report of expenses incurred during my investigation of the Midas touch matter Item eight six dollars twenty cents gas for the rental car that I drove down here to the Lake Mojave resort in the Colorado River Just above Davis Dam And what a place modern comfortable cabin within spinning distance of the lake itself good restaurant tackle shop doc In fact everything to make a fisherman happy to help him fight it out with a lunker bass that inhabit the 60 mile long lake But much as I wanted to fish I had other things to do first I wanted a good look at the Midas touch mine on the advice of the manager ham Pratt I took along Buster favor general fact totem of the resort. I like Buster immediately short stocky cheerful And with keen eyes that took in everything that went on about it Little side road to the left Johnny, okay So old hard luck Dennis got shot up.  Okay, right? Why hard luck was the only person known to have been there with them Couple that with a fact. He just got sixty thousand bucks from them to reopen the mine But mine's worthless Johnny. Yeah, so I understand Anyhow naturally enough everybody decided hard luck had done it in all before the brothers could get wise to him Funny old character pretty nervous when I saw him He almost took a shot at me a couple of times when he didn't like something I said instead. He got it. Yeah While he was just prospecting he was alright Managed to get enough out of the ground here and there to live on some left over for a Saturday night being down in You see the workings up ahead right But when he couldn't seem to make a big strike like every prospect it tries for that's when he tried finding suckers for some of his Fancy promotions up. Yeah, but he really wasn't very good at it. It threw him out of the Texas oil country, you know Yeah, so I heard So that's the Midas touch not too many of this kind of mine anymore with the entrance going into the hillside this way You know, I better use this flashlight.  Well, I got kind of a theory about that. Let's see if I'm right So covered up with dust down here not haven't been worked for years It ought to be easy to see where they knocked off chips for a sample to take back Well, what are you doing down here? Holy smoke, that's a rattling. Yeah Guess you decide to get in out of the hot sun out there. Well, here. I'll find a big rock or something. No, no, you sweet Handle to this old pick here I can get him to strike at it. Maybe I can grab him by the tail and Watch it and crack him like a whip So help me Buster sometimes you do it right you can snap their heads right off Got to be careful though not to snap that head against your own cell brother, yeah, I See what you mean No chance of somebody having planted that snake down here is there mean like the scorpion in the monument Huh, you know those little neat piles of rock you see here there in the desert two three feet high I thought those were where some prospector at stake to claim Markers, yeah, they are monuments. They call them In the old days they always did the same way. How is that? Pull a couple of stones away. You'd find no old Prince Albert tobacco tin. He opened the tin You'd find two things in it piece of paper describing and marking off the claim and Scorpion alive as he stayed alive That meant stay away. No trespassing. This is mine I'll be darned Look here here Johnny on this pillar that was The pillar that was left by digging around it to hold up the ceiling. Oh See where someone was knocked off with a pick. Yeah Hey, wait a minute Buster that looks like yellow Looks like gold. That's what it is. Then this mine is rich. No Johnny You mean the only gold or left down here is in these pillars. That's right And without on the roof at cave in well, couldn't it couldn't be short of with wood why? Only two three four of these left down there probably not more than a ton and all not worth it. Oh Yeah, I see But worth using it to bring in the suckers. Yeah Well, now you want to see how the cave in on the Now what in the Sam Hill is this doing down here this winch and length of wire rope Isn't that the answer to the cave in tad hiding over at headquarters and Kingman seem to think so Sure, somebody used to pull down one of the pillars But Johnny a winch of this type hadn't got any place in the mine Where would a rig like this be used? Well, every ranch in this whole area probably has a couple cattle ranch. Yeah, that's right Hmm, that gives me an idea About who did it at least it gives me a lead to an idea Or at least the kind of questions to ask hard luck Dennis. I thought you said he was still unconscious. Yeah Yeah, so I have to wait Well, let's get out of here What do you plan to do now? Oh, just wait, I guess and do some fishing while I wait Oh, now that's right down by alley only first I'm gonna knock off a bit of this or for a souvenir. Yeah, this all picked on a deal Well, I'll take it easy John. I should take it easy Now Johnny you shouldn't know them better than that. Yeah, let me help you out of this pile of rubble My face was pretty red as we drove back to Lake Mojave only once did Buster mention the full thing I'd done Yes, sir, if you'd banged away at one of the pillars further in the shaft We'd have been in real trouble probably ended up like the Haskell brothers and I suppose instead of planning on going fishing I should have been cooking up some new angle of attack on this case But after all I had been promised fishing time on this trip and until hard luck Dennis could recover enough to talk I got the boat already and waiting for us Johnny with the 30 horse Johnson outboard on it Oh boy, I can't wait and I'll take you to spots I know where you can pull out the biggest fight in this past you ever saw Oh, bless you son of a gun.  I can't resist. I'll even load you my bottle of fast strike fast Right.  That's for me You You sure you wouldn't rather just sit and try to figure out some new lead on this insurance case You want my answer here? But as luck would have it Ham Pratt was standing down by the dock waiting for us with a message for me Call Kingman operator number three seven. I made the call Well, if it wasn't for the message from you I'd be out on Lake Mojave right now So if that's all you want to know, yeah, he has yes Has he told you anything about who shot him up? Your is only friend. Okay, Jake. I'm on my way In a half hour flat. I was back in Kingman at the Mercy Hospital on the edge of town. Hello hard luck That's right Glad you came Only one I trust Not like people around town. They hate me. Wow knew he'd try to get me Probably seen me going back to the mine knew I'd recognize that Winch he left there the winch that was used to pull down the mine pillar caused the cave in that's right a lot of winches like that and the ranches but only Alex Only he used that particular make Royal stand Alex fool hard. Look Bundy Alex Bundy Foreman at the Haskell's ranch the too lazy to yes But why in love Kevin Haskell's wife Dora Okay, okay Would you tell the police the court all this when the time comes if you say so?  Is there anything you want anything I can have sent up here to make you more comfortable. No, thanks, Johnny Just come and see me. We sure Thanks, I Guess sure the only real friend I have Just why he felt that way. I don't know perhaps it was because he needed a friend I Decided I'd better let Jake Kessler in on what I'd learned and incidentally ask him for directions to the two lazy To so I drove on over to his little second floor office on East Palm Drive Alex Bundy, huh? Yeah, that's what hard luck says and with his testimony to back me up when I find Alex Well, we'll have a case a good case Which means by the way that your company won't have to pay off an additional million and a half for double What's the matter? Yeah, Jake I'm going on over and do a bit of fishing in Lake Mojave Buster favor promises to get me a limit of the finest Somebody was outside that door listening to us. I'm sure of it Yeah, look, there he is going down the street Recognize him Jake where it's too late. He got around the corner, but if it's who I think it is Yeah, he must have heard all that was said in here. Alex Bundy, huh? What's your guess? I've been thinking Johnny Yeah, old hard luck Dennis been the key to this whole case right from the first. He still is more than ever after what he told Me, all right then Excuse me Jake Kessler speaking. Oh, hello chief. I was just What what's the matter Jake? What's the matter you look like you've seen a ghost I was tad harding at headquarters The fire escape outside the room at the hospital, huh?  He's dead now hard luck Now is our start to tell you about tomorrow's intriguing episode of this week's story tomorrow the case is closed and Then it suddenly reopens with a bang from a thirty-odd six rifle join us. Won't you yours truly? Johnny dollar first truly Johnny dollar starring Bob Bailey is transcribed in Hollywood It is produced and directed by Jack Johnstone who also wrote this week's story Be sure to join us tomorrow night same time and station for the next exciting episode of yours truly Johnny dollar Roy Rowan speaking


It should have finished the second WebAssign homework because the paper homework fits up. It's on the class schedule webpage, so that's where they will all be. If you've had trouble getting into WebAssign, please first try and contact them and then let me know and I will yell at them. I know some people have trouble. I don't know. Any other questions? Also, if you're having, if when you look at your WebAssign, I think it's problem 9 on homework 2 in particular has some issues with grading. I don't remember the answer. Am I going to write something wrong? I think it's number 9. I don't think it's a sign. But if the correct answer is something like, I don't know, 1 half sine cubed to the x, it takes an answer written this way and it does not take an answer written this way for some reason. I complain to WebAssign about it. They're going to fix it but it's already out there. So, if you got burnt by this and lost points, click on the ask your teacher link and get it fixed. It's number 9. Does anyone know? The answer is really something like a co-changer to proceed in, to proceed in. Does anyone know? Yeah. Writing something just like that, which you can see around the sign and the x, which is the bigger one, and then you can click on it. Yeah, well, so all of them should take this, or this, or this. One of them, it's either number 5 or number 9, and I think it's number 9, doesn't take this. And if you put this in, it gets marked wrong. If you change it to this, it gets right. So if you put it in like this and it gets marked wrong, if you change to this and it gets marked right, click on the ask your teacher and say, WebAssign was dumb on this problem. Please give me my half a point down. So we don't. The point is not to rob you for notation. The point is to know whether you can do the robbery. So the only problem that I know of is that one. All the other ones will take any of those three for now. Okay, so where we were, as we were doing integration by parts, which is useful when you have, it's a way of creating derivatives for integrals. We have something. Let me do one more example. Let's say the integral from, where should we have to get integral this time? No? Okay. I feel like Obama when the guy shouts out, you lie. Let's do something like this, 0 power 4. It's not a good question. Do this integral. There's actually several ways I can do this integral. Should I use parts on this? What should I take for the parts? Take one part for sine x and take the other part for sine x? Okay. That means that du is the cosine and v is minus the cosine. So that gives me minus, did I do that right? Yes. Minus sine x cosine x from 0 to pi over 4 minus the integral of du. So I think I did that right so far. This is from 0 to pi over 4. And this is, so the sine pi over 4 is root 2. Yeah. Well, that's the other way. So let's do it by parts or you can do it by using a half angle angle. Either way is fine. So let's do it by parts. Because they wanted to do it by parts. So the sine pi over 4 is root 2 over 2. Cosine pi over 4 is root 2 over 2. So this is minus, minus. The sine of 0 is 0, cosine of 0 is 1. So that part's gone. And now I have to do the integral of cosine squared. Now if I do the integral of cosine squared, I can do it by parts again. But in fact, it's easier to remember a different identity. So I actually, if I do it by parts again, I get stuck. Pretty sure I get back to the original integral. If I do it by parts again, I get 0 equals 0 or something like that. So that's not going to work. Feel free to try it but I'm pretty sure it doesn't work. So I have to use the fact to do this. What is another way I can write cosine squared? Yeah? 1 minus the sine squared. Right. So I remember that sine squared plus cosine squared is 1. And so this becomes the integral from 0 over pi over 4 of 1 minus the sine squared. And now again we're in one of these tricks. Yes. We're in one of these tricks where I'm going to get the integral sort of related to itself. So this is 2 over 4. So this is a half from here. This is the integral from 0 to pi over 4 of dx minus the integral from 0 to pi over 4 of the sine squared. And that equals the integral from 0 to pi over 4 of the sine squared. So I have a thing that I don't know equals to a number plus something I can do easily minus the same thing. So that means... So that means I can bring this and add it to this to get 2 times the integral from 0 to pi over 4 of the sine squared equal to negative the half plus... Well, the integral from 0 to pi over 4 of dx is 0 is x from 0 to pi over 4. So that means... So this is pi over 4 minus a half equals twice the integral I want.  Okay? So there's 2 things going on here in this example. One, I'm doing an integration by parts which is a derivative integral and one of the things that you can do if you don't have to, you can go all the way to the end and then plug in is that you can plug in as you go the derivative sum of the parts and that's what I get here. The other thing is if I had tried to do this cosine squared the same way I did the sine squared I would actually wind up with 0 equals 0 so that doesn't work. So sometimes when you do integration by parts you wind up with something true, 0 does equal 0 but you wind up with something that doesn't really get you anywhere. So this is true of integration in general. Going backwards is often harder than going back forward. Trying to impart and figuring out how to do it takes perseverance. Okay. So I'm going to stop pursuing integration by parts right now because I'm tired of it and we have to do the long line from the hurricane. So but as somebody else noted I can also do this integral by using well, let me do the e. So suppose instead of that I had something like I can't control the sine cubed of s dx and let's just make it an indefinite integral just fine? Let me throw a cosine in there. So say I have an integral like this what would I do? So I hear people mumbling substitution factor the sine off so why would I do that? Just because I can. I mean is it true? I don't know that it helps so what these other people are shouting out is true, let's make a substitution. I mean I can do this but I don't want to do it. So if I make a substitution what should I substitute?  Okay so I should substitute the sine. Why should I substitute the sine? Because the derivative is sitting right there. So I make the substitution just so you don't call it u substitution. I'm going to make the substitution w equals sine of x but because right there it might take w. So when I make that substitution that makes this a really easy integral and so then this is just one quarter w is the fourth and w was the sine. So let me point out something that students always do because they think it's quicker. It's really important that we write things down that it's true. Especially when you do something like this notice that everything I wrote equals the previous thing and I wrote equals every time and I didn't leave off bits until the end. It's important even though it makes you sound like I'm trying to be an evil accountant or something that you keep track of all of the bits because you need them later and so rather than just writing stuff all over the place try and write it in order and make sure every stage is equal. When you write equals it means the same. It doesn't mean it becomes. Equals means equals. It means the same. If something becomes something else don't write an equals sign. Also don't write arrow when you need equal. I see a lot of students that would write this arrow this arrow this. Now in this case it doesn't matter whether you think of equal as a process that gives an outcome through we just say this equals that and this equals that. You don't write equals if it's not equal because then you get in trouble. You don't get in trouble for me you get in trouble because you wrote garbage and eventually you get confused. Sorry that was a little off to the side tirade. I see it all the time in the calculus that students just write junk all over the page and then magically the answer appears and that's fine because that has no mistakes. But if you make a mistake we can't find it so we can't give impartial credit and also you're less likely to make mistakes if you proceed in orderly fashion. If you're going to write junk all over the page write it on another page. I lost track of where I was going because I had to write it for a minute. There we go. This is actually a general trip. When we see an integral in one cosine laying around it's easy. When you see an integral with a pile of cosine in one sine laying around it's easy. So if we had an integral like sine to the fifth of x cosine squared of x dx let's make it sine of q. It's going to be easy. Suppose I have something like sine cubed of x cosine squared of x dx I'm going to make a substitution. So I'm going to make this a quicker question. So choices are make some manipulations and then make the substitution equal to sine. Make some manipulations and then make the substitution equal to cosine. You can do either one and get the answer or no this is not a useful way. I started with this. Use a trig identity. Looks like we have if you need more time you're supposed to go like, yeah I do. Anyone need more time? So most of the people think we should manipulate it and then substitute the sine. So since 57% of you think that's what I should do maybe at least one of you knows what I should do. U equals sine cubed of sine squared of x sine of x dx Wait a minute, what am I doing? Sorry. I'm going to lose pain. Three sine squared of x Well he said cubed. So cubed isn't going to work because now I have an extra business. It was a bad idea. Square So then du is 2 sine x cosine x No it doesn't. So if I do that so then that integral becomes I have a sine x cosine squared of x dx One of those is du So this is u x cosine x du I don't know what to do with that. I guess this could be a square root of u but this guy is still there. So this doesn't work so well either. Yeah. U in the back. I think the cosine x squared equals 1 minus sine x squared. Okay. I guess I'll go over here.  Just go on. What? Then it should be sine x2 star minus sine x to the face. Okay I can do that. Then it should be the sine x2 star integration minus integration of sine. I still can't do this. Oops. I'm still stuck. I don't know how to do either of those integrals.  Let's just take this one. Yeah sine x. I'm not trying to make fun of you. I'm trying to point out there is something going on here and if I just tell you, you're going to forget. So anything else? So this is a great idea except it's a little bit wrong. Yeah. There are two of the sines internally in the cosines. So this is a bad idea too. So this is close and as he said instead of focusing on trying to turn the cosine of the sines let's turn most of the sines into cosines. So write this integral as sine x. I'm just going to save it for later because I might get hungry. And then I have cosine squared of x dx. So this is the same but this is one minus cosine squared. One, or how about cosine squared of x minus cosine of the fourth times the sine of x dx. And now I'm happy because when I eat these cosines I have the sine left over for dessert. I can let u be the cosine and so du is minus the sine that I need. This becomes negative du and this becomes u squared minus u to the fourth which I can do which is easy. So let me just finish. So now I get the integral of u squared minus u to the fourth which is negative 3 minus u to the fifth u to the fifth which is I'll write it in the other word u to the cosine. Cosine to the fifth minus cosine. So that means that this choice for sure works. I don't know how to make this one work. And so if a doesn't work either to c OK. So this is a general procedure Whenever I have an odd power of a trig function laying around so in general if I have the integral of sine to the m cosine to the n then if either one of these are odd let me just say if n is odd then I convert sine into cosines by sine squared is one minus cosine squared and I do the same thing but I convert sines into cosine by the other piece and if they're both odd I can do either way. So this answer is sort of right in spirit but it depends on which power is odd it doesn't matter if n is greater than n. It doesn't go care. It would be negative too. So the trick is that I want to have laying around so what I want is the integral of stuff in sine let me just call it a function of sine times the cosine x dx or the other function of cosines times sine x dx. I want everything except one of them to be the other guy and then this becomes easy so straight forward substitution away we go so the thing to remember is not to memorize this formula but just remember that you know the most useful trig identity is not even trig with a diagonal theorem on the same thing this identity is not even trig it should be that I hope you've learned more than one thing from trig but that's the one thing that is most important from trig which is just the diagonal theorem so using that trick we can always we can always get rid of all but one of an odd power okay um running a little low on time let me not do another one of those he gets to do some other homework what's the time is here can I stop this if they're both even if they're both even like the integral that I did at the beginning or oh let's just do that so here the power of the cosine is zero that's an even number the power of the sine is two that's an even number okay because if I take one sine away and if I turn both sines into cosine I'm in the same place that I was in before and if I don't do it well then I have no hope so I can't use that trick and I always forget what the leeches plus and this is minus so I have to use a different trig identity so I want to use either this identity or this identity which maybe you remember and maybe you don't I always tend to forget them so I have to cheat but I get to cheat and so here I'm going to use this one and then this integral becomes pretty easy so this is so I integrate one and I get one half x and I integrate one half cosine two x so when I integrate cosine two x I get one half sine x sine two x and another half so this is minus one quarter check that you can check it by taking the derivative and then using this formula so if both are even so if you have an even number and notice what this does this takes an even power and it turns it into half of that power it changes the angle by a factor of two but it turns everything into half of that power and so ultimately if you take an even number and you keep dividing by two unless it is zero eventually it becomes odd and then you can use this trick so if I wanted to do say sine to the fourth do it twice and get down to the power of one so these things can be a little tedious but so I want to focus on this business for a while but these are easy once you get a handle down other than sometimes there is a little bit of a tedium with manipulating trick identities over and over and over again but I'll leave that to a presentation another thing that we can do is go through techniques that work for various types of integrals so related to trick identities we have this one sine squared plus cosine squared equals one and we do one that doesn't work so the problem with these sometimes they don't you choose one that doesn't work and then there are three I didn't want to do that one one like this is not going to be so good but there's a right to it the trick to notice here is actually there's some trigonometry going on and this doesn't look like it somebody said something so if so the problem here is this student squared root of x squared plus four and I'd like to get rid of that and I'd like it to be like a square root that I can do so I remember maybe this should be a one to make it easier maybe it would be a one to make it easier to come out maybe I can do it when it's four or two but let's do it when it's one so here I remember some trick identities so this guy I remember this guy which is not useful here I remember this guy and this one is useful here tangent squared plus one is secant squared which you can just get by pushing this one around and here I have something squared plus one becomes a square so that means that if this x were only a tangent then this would become just a secant and then I could do this integral so let's say well I wish the x were a tangent so I'm going to let x be the tangent of some angle I don't know let me call it theta and so that means that dx is secant squared d theta fine and so here by doing this I can now rewrite the integral to get so dx becomes secant squared x squared becomes a tangent squared the square root becomes secant squared and now I can do a little trig manipulation so let's reduce this the square root of secant squared is secant so this is let me just rewrite it slowly so I have a secant squared on the top pick up another secant on the bottom and I have a tangent square here and so that I can keep track of everything I mean this is really one over cosine squared this cancels this and we can make a cosine on the top and we can write everything in terms of sines and cosines so that I know where I am so the secant squared is one over the cosine so I'm going to put that on the bottom and actually first I'm going to cancel this guy with that that can be one over cosine that's from this bit and then I've left with the tangent is sine over cosine so that gives me a cosine on the bottom and a sine on the top so I think I did that right is everyone clear on where I went from here? yeah so this x squared plus one becomes the secant squared taking the square root of the secant squared square root of something squared is just the thing and then this secant cancels one of those secants and then a secant on the top becomes a cosine on the bottom this is upside down see this is a cosine squared on the top and a sine squared on the bottom so again I can cancel this with that and so this one is this one but after all of that u-ha-fufuru you wind up with that integral of cosine over sine squared well that's one we can do it's on the bottom so this is sine over cosine but it's on the bottom so I need cosine over sine so so after all of this mess u equals sine well yeah I didn't use u yet so this guy becomes just the integral of one over u squared u which is one over u negative I need a two yeah that's right well u this is the cosecant negative cosecant if you want but my question was not about theta my question was about x so if x is the tangent then theta is the arc tangent so this is really the cosecant of the arc tangent but the cosecant of the arc tangent has another name so we should figure out what that is I'm going to draw a picture I'm going to draw a right triangle so you have to remember some trigonometry now and I'm going to let this angle be theta now if this angle is theta x is the tangent of theta because that was the choice I made the tangent is the opposite and I want the tangent of this angle to be x so if this is x and this is 1 then the tangent of theta is x that means that this hypotenuse I use the thethagorean theorem is this squared for this squared take the square root now what I want is not the tangent I want the cosecant one over the sine so the sine here is this over this one over the sine is this over this so this is minus x no that's the sine is minus squared plus 1 or x which seems like magic but it's reasonable I'm integrating some algebraic function some bunch of stuff involving trigonometry and eventually I get back to another algebraic function so the short of this so what went on here is when we see the square root or actually just something squared plus a constant this trig identity can be helpful and you turn it into a trigonometric integral which then is not so bad you do just the way I said how to do that and then you go back if I see something involving for example 1 minus x squared I would use this identity and if I see something involving x squared minus 1 I would use the other ok look at this so I won't go through the whole business so I'm going to do exactly the same integral but when it's x squared plus 4 I'm actually going to do that so this squared plus a thing tells me that I want to use where'd you go? ok thanks it helps people look at something this tells me that I want to use something like an octan but if I use this one it's not going to help me so what I want to do is divide everything by 4 and multiply that by 4 so I rewrite this which I don't have to rewrite explicitly but I'll rewrite it in my mind but I'll write it explicitly so you can see my mind as well I'm going to factor this 4 out and so when I factor 4 out here I get x squared over 4 but I can actually write x squared over 4 over 2 squared like that I'm going to let x over 2 be the tan I want to get rid of this square root if I get the same well it isn't quite the same I'll pick up some factor of 4 but it's almost the same ok let me not finish this now since it's 5 then I need a square root of 5 you can take the square root of 8 so if this had been how about a 41 this would be a 41 and then here this would have to be 41 over 2 but I want to take the square root of 41 here so this would be square root of 41 and this would be square root of 41 and this would be square root of 41 it's the same now you need that square root square root of 41 what's the same I could have done 2 tan we're here square root of 41 tan of 8 equals x same I don't see maybe I'm misunderstanding what you're suggesting 2 tan of theta so what do you mean by so let's put it back to 4 which is 41 2 is a lot easier right ok so it's a 4 again what are you proposing I do now instead of doing this much because x squared plus 4 would be no no I'm converting it into a secant so the trick here that I want I mean it is I have to divide by a square root I don't know how to get around it so I mean if I let x be 2 tan of theta that's ok but that's exactly what I did here I said let x over 2 tan of theta so that I could um so


So what happens when we want to again create now instead of queries we built a few different queries I want to create now some forms and reports. I want to go ahead and have customized Ways we can view my data. So the first one is I want to go ahead and again come to my create tab But instead of going to that form button that did all the work for us this time. I'm going to come to form wizard Luckily the form wizard kind of goes through the song and dance for us But what I'm going to go ahead and do is I'm going to make a New patient form So that patient option I went ahead and just looked for my patient table And then I will go ahead and just click everything in there again We're dealing with a new patient and I click on next the next thing it asks me is How do you want the data presented? Do you want it in column our tabular data sheet? Those look very similar to what we were just looking at or justified. I'll keep my column nerve just for that you know sake and Pretty much. That's it. No, we're going to call this new patient Form and I'm going to just hit finish. That's going to open it up And you see we get exactly that we now have a way to look at our patient data Now herein lies a little bit of a thing. If you look at it, it looks terrible. It looks pretty bad How do I fix it? Just like we did with our table and our query we could switch between views I can switch between my views and go to layout view Layout view notice. I can't type anything. I can't start to type Anything in but as I mouse to the left you see I can actually Resize these things I can change the layout So that all of my data kind of has a more uniform look to it Now for this because it's a date it's gonna be right aligned How do I change that just like we did in Microsoft Word and Excel? I have my alignment sections all I have to do is say align left done Come down here one more time for my email and boom. That's Everything in a nutshell for just a very simple form Now what happens if I want to make a more complicated form again? Why would I make a new patient? Well, it's probably because you came to visit. So let's actually this time do the same thing form wizard Patient add all that information in but now I actually want to add in more data I want to add in the reason for their visit. So I'm gonna add in everything again But you notice how I have this visit that patient ID and then I have this patient at patient ID Well, I only need one of those. I don't need them both because again, they're supposed to be linked together So I just get rid of one of them again You notice it's gonna get rid of the patient ID because I don't need to Differentiate between the two of them and they click on next and it's gonna ask me How do I want to organize my data? Well again, any one patient can go to many visits can have many visits versus Anyone visit can have many patients doesn't work that way. It's the opposite So I want to organize my data think of this like the group by by my patient How do you want to view your data? We'll just keep it as datasheet. We hit finish What do you want to name this stuff? New patient with visit Visit sub form when we hit finish We get the exact same thing notice again We see all of our data and then we now have a Subform as well again if I want to clean this up I can click on my view and I can now just change this up a little bit This doesn't have any correlation to the first new patient form. We made this is a completely new form So I do have to go through the song and dance again of cleaning this up Just making sure everything stays a little more organized. Let me I'm a stickler for this stuff to be a little perfect. There we go The last thing I'm gonna do is change well not last but I'm gonna also do This notice again. This is data that I can organize. I can Resize this guy to appear on the same line And I'm gonna just bring it out so that we can see all of it as well So now if I ever had a new patient say for example, I come all the way down to the end I'm gonna make a new patient by switching my view heading to my design tab switching my view again I have a new patient so To to to to to to to to to I don't think anyone's got that one. What's their last name? Reynolds Bert When was Bert Reynolds born? I don't know We'll say he was born You know what that's gonna take a lot of clicking. So I'm just gonna say one slash one slash 1965 What's his phone number nine one zero eight six seven five three oh, nah, yeah, yeah, one two three not real street of Hollywood California his zip code is nine oh two one oh his email is Burt at Reynolds calm again because I have this new patient this new patient probably has a new visit Well, guess what? Oh, there you go. I can now insert a new visit ID So I'm just gonna say arbitrarily seven eight nine zero When did he visit? Well, he visited today and what was the reason? Daily Botox shot, I don't I don't know And it was a walk-in so now again that data Comes over to my patient information. I go all the way down to the bottom or what did I name? What number did I give him two two two two two? So he would probably be right there Bert Reynolds. I click on the little drop down You see I have his bow top shot now. There are no invoices for that, but hey, I could make that as well


The W League mentoring program is developed as a support network for the Wanderers Westfield W League team and the players as they balance their football, their work and their personal lives during the season. The program has been nothing short of outstanding. It's only been outstanding due to the contribution made by the players and the coaches who are engaged in it fully and also the mentors who have given up their time to contribute to the program. It's so touching to know that the club see us not only as footballs but people outside of the uniform as well so to have that linked with our club is something really special. I think it's something that puts our club apart from other clubs and it's definitely valuable and something that the girls have great gratitude for.


My name is Sam Whitaker, I farm in Southeast Arkansas from Brother Jim. We grow cotton rice, corn and soybeans. As far as early planting, we have done probably a two-thirds of our corn planted already, started in mid-March. Typically, we try to be a little on the early side just because we watch the weather and everyone wants to plant everything when the weather's right and all that. But if you wait until everything's perfect, you probably won't get anything planted here in Arkansas. Part of the reasons for that are our farm is diverse. So we've got competing crops that have to be harvested at different times. We need the corn to be in early, so we need the corn in and out before the rice harvest starts and before the bean harvest starts. So if we try to plant everything on the compressed window, we have to harvest on the compressed windows. Early planting has risk and pitfalls. You could replant, you could get sun and crops, you could have some issues. But late planting has got risk. So the risk for late planting may be greater than the early planting, you know, what we've found out over the years. So we like to be on the front side of that window anytime in March when we get a break in the weather. We like to start planting corn there. Probably from the last week, we can march on with soybeans and rice also. Specifically, we look at the soil temperature. You're looking at that, you're looking at corn, you want it to be 50 degrees or moving into 50 degrees. A lot of times we'll start on the cool side if the forecast is looking toward warming up and drying out.  If you get a couple of warm days, crops, even, you know, corn, soybeans, cotton rice, all of them, really, if they get a little bit of a head start before that cold, wet weather, you'll usually be okay. Typically, especially with soybeans and corn to an extent, also, you know, we're fighting, you know, we're not in the corn belt, we're not in the soybean belt, we're in the mid-south and the mid-south is the first place that, you know, you get corn or soybeans. So a lot of times you get an early premium on the market for those crops. We're always refining the process. So we're taking, doing a lot of experimentation with cover crops. Seems to keep the ground in place a little better, seems to give a little better water infiltration. Things seem to hold up a little better. Your harvest plan starts with your planting plan. So as we're planning, we're thinking about, hey, we're going to plant here first, we're going to harvest here first. We're going to harvest this crop, you know, at this time in this slot. And try to utilize our equipment and then better in order to get things in a timely fashion. Probably the 10-day forecast would be a big, you know, you're looking to see when it's, you know, when the ground's dry enough, you don't want to plant, you know, one mistake I think a lot of people do, you know, you don't want to work the ground wet, you don't want to plant wet. A lot of things you can get on, but you don't need to be there. You want to get, you know, for me, it's all with the ground conditions to be right, proper dryness, proper soil temperature, and then when it's ready to move fast.  You've got to constantly be looking for new ways. You can't say this is the way I did it last year and it's going to work, or this is the way Dad or Granddad did it. The changes with science, technology, the equipment, everything is changing. Don't know where it's going, but I do know it's going to change, and it's going to change the net when you've got to kind of stay in front of it.
