Let's take a closer look at what a Tefl or TESOL certificate from ITTT looks like. Right at the top you'll find the ITTT logo mentioning both terms Tefl and TESOL. Under the logo you'll see the names, the training course that you successfully completed. In my case this certificate is for the 120-hour Tefl course. This is followed by your full name and the words certificate in teaching English as a foreign language. Under this you'll see the exact date, the day, month and year when you successfully completed your Tefl or TESOL course. As you can see there is no expiration date because all ITTT Tefl and TESOL certificates are good for life they never expire. This is followed by the ITTT seal, the signatures of our academic director and course director. In the right hand corner you'll find a unique certification number which can be used by potential employers or government offices to verify the authenticity of your certificate via the certification verification page on our website. This feature has become increasingly important as more and more employers now want to ensure that their job applicants have actually completed the training that they have put on their job applications. As you can see there is also absolutely no mention anywhere on the certificate of your passing grade or score nor whether the certificate was completed online. The certificate you receive for completing an online Tefl or TESOL course is exactly the same as those issued for an in-class course. We have also recently added a QR code to all newly issued certificates which will allow you to download the PDF version of your certificate with just the click of a button. However even if your certificate does not contain a QR code you will still receive a free PDF version of your certificate right away upon completion. Once you have successfully completed your Tefl or TESOL course, ITTT sends the certificate directly to you anywhere in the world at no additional cost. This means you do not have to pay any additional fees for your hard copy certificate nor the worldwide delivery. However if you require express delivery you can opt for DHL shipment for just a small extra fee. Another important point to remember is that all ITTT certificates are validated, accredited and credit bearing from the Paris College of International Education. This respected higher education institute is recognized as degree granting by the Paris Academy and the credits earned from the PCIE have been successfully transferred to the university's worldwide including in the US where they are considered to be in the same bracket as a regionally accredited US university.

How do we start to plant the seeds of history in our little kiddos? Well, I know that history begins with them, with me. So I have a collection of all of their artwork from the beginning of the year. I start it with a portrait of them. The very first day of school. This way they can show me how they write their name, they can show me their pencil grip, they can show me how they color, they can show me all those elements that I can observe, and I keep it on the wall. Then throughout the year we do multiple projects, things about their family, things about nature, things about art, things about the holidays, anything and everything that I can think of that would be a fun collection of their history from my class. Then at the end of the year I have them do a portrait of themselves on the last day of school. It is great to see the looks on their faces when I hand them the book of all the pages from the first day of school to the last day of school. And they say, I did that? That was me? I didn't used to write like that. I didn't draw like that. But it starts to help them to think about, wait, that was in the past. Now I'm in the present and what am I going to do in the future? It starts to get those wheels turning to help our kiddos understand that history is important and it does start with them.


Hey guys, what's going on? It's Andy Elliott. In this video, I'm going to talk to you about how to advertise and market as a salesperson. I can show you how to triple your leads literally within 30 days, and I'm going to teach it to you on this video. By the way, I think a lot of people have marketing misunderstood. If you want to sell more, I bet you're doing it wrong. And in this video, I'm going to show you how to do it right. Check this out. Hey guys, what's going on? It's Andy Elliott. In this video, I'm going to talk to you about the common mistakes that people make while trying to market themself or brand themself. A lot of people want to try to sell something, right? Hey, I sell something, so I'm like, I'm going to get on social media, I'm going to post what I have for sale, and then I'm going to sell it, right? And then they don't get any leads, and then they say, ah man, this sucks, this don't work. No dude, you didn't do it right. So I'm going to explain to you what doing it wrong is, which is this. Let's say I'm in the car business. You could sell solar, you could sell anything, but understand the analogy. I say, hey guys, what's going on? It's Andy Elliott. I'm on social media. I say, if you look behind me, you see a 2018 F-150, 38,000 miles. Guys, this truck's really nice. It's one in a million. You're not going to find another one like it. If you're interested in this Ford, shoot me a text message. I'd love to tell you more about it if you want to buy it while it's still available. And then nobody reaches out. What did I do? I got in the marketing or advertising or I've got on social media and I'm doing what? I'm trying to sell that truck. That's not the game. The game is to generate interest. Why? I want you to write this down. Marketing is done to have a conversation and then sales are made out of a conversation. Every sell is sparked from a conversation with someone. Hey guys, what's going on? It's Andy. A lot of you leave comments telling me that you need help. Do me a favor. I'm going to tell you the best way to get a hold of me. Shoot me a text message right now,<PHONE_NUMBER>,<PHONE_NUMBER>, I'll help you with whatever you need.  Let's get back to the video. Unless you have something that somebody can just click a box on and buy and you've done such a great job of branding it for 10 or 15 years and then now people can do that, then that's amazing. Maybe you've created a product that people can just click on and buy, right? Like on Amazon. But most people now, what they're doing is generating a personal brand or brand for their company or interest and instead of creating conversations to sell those people, they're actually just trying to get those people to try to buy something. What does that do? Well, number one, it allows you to have a very low lead count and you don't have very many people to talk to and if we know anything about the sales game, what do we know? The more hands you shake, the more money you make, am I right? So how could we generate more leads than you know what to do with? How could you sell more? Simple. Have more conversations. Well, how do we do that? I'm going to redo that video. Watch this. Hey guys, what's going on? It's Andy Alley. I'm sure you've looked behind me right now. You see a beautiful 2018 F-150. You look to the right of me. See a beautiful black, big lifted Ford Raptor and you look over there. See a big bad in the bone Jeep Wrangler and you look over there and see a Ferrari and a Lamborghini. Listen to me guys, you see everything. I have hundreds and hundreds of cars that I'm sure at one point in time in the future, maybe a year or two from now, you're probably going to want to upgrade what you have and buy something. I want you to do me a favor. I want you to make a decision right now. If vehicles were worth 20 to 30 to 40% more now worth than they were ever going to be worth, would you want to know what your car was worth? Because I bet when you go to trade it in, if you don't get enough money for your trade in, you're not going to trade it in, whether it's a year or two years from now. When's the last time you went and traded your car in and you were blown away because the dealer gave you too much money? Never. Right now, my general manager has given 20 to 30% more for people's trade in than they're worth. I don't want you to think about buying anything. I want to tell you what your car is worth and I'm going to blow your mind. Do me a favor. If you're watching this, shoot me a text message. If you'd love a free appraisal on your car,<PHONE_NUMBER>. Don't want to buy a car? No problem. You want to know what your car is worth? Text me right now.  Guess what I'm going to do? I'm going to have a slew and a flood of text messages coming in saying, Andy, what's my car worth? And you know what I'm going to do? Each one of those people I'm going to have a conversation with. By the way, would they have texted and asked what their trade-ins worth if they didn't have maybe a scratch that I could itch and turn into a car deal? They wouldn't text if they were willing to do something. They wouldn't have taken the time to text. So I know that they're after something. I've now pulled the interest out of that audience. And now what am I going to do? I'm going to have a conversation with each and every one of them to get them to convert into a car deal. So back when I sold, what I would do is that every morning I would post 10 to 15 cars on Craigslist and on Facebook. I would post on my Facebook stories. I'd post on my Instagram. By the way, I have a business now and I use it and leverage for social media like crazy. This is just when I sold. And what I did is that every day my goal was to not sell. Write this down. Understand this. Was to not sell the vehicle that I was posting. It was to generate a lead. My goal every day was to post as many vehicles as I could to generate as many leads as I could get my hands on. Weak sells people are waiting on people to reach out and say, I want to buy that 2018 Ford F-150. When can I come pick it up? That ain't happening. Me, I want people to reach out and inquire about anything that has to do with something that I have to do with.  That is my job. My job as a salesperson is to sell, influence and persuade. It's to paint pictures, tell stories and get people excited about doing something. So I just want you to know, if you've been using maybe social media or you've been marketing and you've been trying to sell a certain product and maybe you've had, you know, not so much luck. Well, why don't we try to do something a little bit different, okay? Try a different strategy and try to have a conversation with someone. And if you can have a conversation with somebody, you can talk them into buying whatever you have. Because every sell and marketing should start if you're highly successful with a conversation. Now I love you guys and every single day I try to give you tips, tactics and tricks on how to generate more leads. My company right now, we're destroying it and I spend no money on advertising. Everything we do is organic. I want you to understand this.  You can do it organically. You can literally every single day post content that has to do with people wanting to have a conversation with something that you do. It's your job to be interesting. It's your job to create interest. And it's your job, if you wanna obviously dominate marketing to understand these next four things and then we'll end this video. Number one, everybody needs to know who you are. So write that down, who you are. Number two, they need to know what you do. They need to know number three, how great you are at what you do. And number four, they need to know where you're at and how do they get a hold of you. So who you are, what you do, how great you are at what you do and where you're at and how do they get a hold of you. You'll notice at the end of this call, I said text me. Okay, that's a call to action. That is the way that I would like people to get in touch with me. If you don't tell people how to get in touch with you, how will they know? And by the way, a confused mind does nothing. So make sure that every time that you're wanting somebody to do something and you offer something great for somebody or you wanna have a conversation, guess what? Tell them how you would like them to contact you. Would you like them to email you? Would you like them to text you? Would you like them to DM you? Would you like them to come drive by? Would you like them to call you? How do you want them to get a hold of you? I prefer the best way to do business is by having somebody text. Cause now we can start a conversation and then I can bring value to them. So if you're watching this video right now, I hope that it's brought you some value and you can see maybe some holes in your marketing game or maybe you haven't been doing it because you didn't know the right way to do it, but now you know.

No direct threat to lives of Armenians in Karabakh, Armenian Prime Minister. There is no direct threat to the lives of the Armenians of Karabakh. Unverified information should not be disseminated, especially in conditions when a hybrid war is being waged against Armenia. Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan said this at a meeting of the Cabinet of Ministers. Recalling his statement made the day before during a live address to the nation, the Armenian Prime Minister noted that this assessment now remains valid. He clarified that he is talking about the general situation. According to Pashinyan, in the context of the situation in Karabakh, one must be as attentive, as possible, and be in constant contact with society. Everything must be done to ensure that citizens have confidence in official information since a hybrid war is being waged against Armenia primarily in the information field. We must maintain active cooperation with the media to ensure that people receive correct information. In the correct emotional situation, any negative information can have an equally negative impact on the situation and the decision-making process. That is why it is important to assess the situation based on verified information. He added, Pashinyan also assured that the government will do everything possible to improve the situation.


This is covering the spread part of the Fandall podcast network It is a beautiful day to open your sportsbook gap because not only do we have an eight game slate in the NBA But we have a full menu of offerings available for the players championship at TPC sawgrass once again a loaded Fuel for this week weren't talking about both that NBA slate and the players championship by talking to Brandon Getting his read on everything you can bet on over at Fandall sportsbook for this week Maybe not everything might be a bit of a it oversell there This is covering the spread right here on the Fandall podcast network and number fire calm My name is Jim Sonnis. I am a senior writer and analyst for number fire calm joined here as mentioned by Brandon Gondola He is a senior managing editor of number fire calm Brenda Dio takes on let's see here What's the dumbest thing I can pull up?  I thought we were table tennis I thought we were going over Surfing and rugby league and rugby union, which are very different things. I know most people don't know the difference, but boxing Nice to be in a boxing a little bit Okay, well, we'll find something Australian Rose football is Really fun to watch for on slack Australian Rose football is the coolest sport that there is it's not not a lie I've been at the gym on like a Saturday morning. It's been on and I have like it's extended my workout So I feel like I should get into it just from like a cardio perspective Like it might be better for me if I because like if they put it on I just get distracted and don't realize How long I've been going? So like I I agree with this. This is a good take It's like it's like soccer meets rugby meets like American football Guys just get it like get the ball Run down the field then they just punt it and I'm like, I don't know why like They're like, I don't know why that happened, but it was cool Yeah, and they get to a certain point Then they like touch it down and they got to kick it through uprights And I don't really know what's happening and as a sports fan growing up with like the big sports Like I know that intricacies of sports. Yeah, it's very foreign to be watching a sport and be like I don't really know what's happening See the better thing is playing a sport where you don't know what's happening In high school grew up in Minnesota. We played snow rugby basketball where it's in the snow If you're playing with a basketball hoop, but there is no dribbling and tackling is fully okay No broken bones somehow. I don't think there were any concussions confirmed from the entire time somehow So like it's actually decently safe sometimes So I would propose John Sheeran get snow rugby basketball. It's posted at Fandall Sportsbook So I can be pro in something else other than talking for some time going pro Yeah, I also couldn't shoot even in snow rugby basketball to be fully honest It was not my strength regardless just I might be bad at bad things that involve coordination Is it it wait is it just like shooting a basketball through hoop? You mean it was a small hoop so you could in theory dunk but that also required me to get to the hoop to dump It was a small basketball to like you could palm it. Okay. Well, I can help you with your shooting form if you need I'm not gonna shoot with that. You want to go pro. There's no three-point line. So like why would I shoot dunk dunk? So only hey man Guess you're not an innovator. I want snow. There's no rugby basketball back in my life Hey, maybe that's not great to play post 30 like that seems like that could be dangerous like when you're 19 It's probably fine when you're 31 Maybe it's right 30. Yeah, I don't know whatever. Yeah 31. Okay.

We've got the grizzlies at the lakers Looking at those two specifically Anything stand out to you there at fandall right now 76ers played last night. Um had a high scoring win Timberwolves been off since saturday Which ended a four game road trip for them. So they should be rested and ready to go. They're more or less healthy um in terms of their key key pieces, but Don't have an official injury report As of we didn't have it as of 8 30. I don't know if we have it as of 9 30, but probably not where the sixers do uh to the back to back yet still still empty but to bias harris um probably not Likely to to suit up from what I can glean but What matters is the the 76ers splits with ambide And james harden tyrus maxi in there as well for me uh, but with those three This team's 18 and 2 net rating of only uh plus 2.7, but a really good offensive rating of 119.7 So good marks overall for this team timberwolves with their relevant splits a little bit more recent since the deadline A bit lighter there minus one net rating but a 116 and a half offensive rating League average depends on the source you go to but around 114 So both the offense is well above uh the league average in that uh sense But once you account for arrest home court advantage, I do have the uh the timberwolves as modest favorites by 3.2 Are they still favored by one here? It's two now So not Not not quite as good. Um, but I would still back them there But my favorite uh path to this game is the over again both teams have good offenses My model has it at 232.8 Um to give us some breathing room I should have this pulled up as well, but it's a 2.9 and a half right now Okay, um, so you mentioned you had the walls favored by 3.2. They're two point favorites right now What's like your threshold if you have one as far as like I need x points of value or To in order to like make it something I feel good about I just like to see two points difference um That one I think has been sliding. I think I think it was one before we started here, but um, I like look there's generally enough opportunity with the nba each night where I don't want to force things It'll depend on what else is available and sometimes I'll lower that Which is not Good process. So I'm not really recommending it everyone should have their their limits and stick to it But also I think it's important where you know I'm still skeptical of something that even is maybe a point and a half different Yeah, just because I'm quite risk averse sure when it comes to nba I'd rather make no bet than a bad bet and then when it comes to golf I'm I'm still pretty risk averse, but I know that there's golf's just high risk So it's a weird uh weird combination to talk both nba and golf But yeah, my my preferred route here is the over due to the good offenses Okay, so we like the over on 76ers wools. That's the 229 and a half right now brand image. He has it around 232 For that one. So let's talk about the other game here. That is The grizzlies and the lakers grizzlies a quiet team recently not really in the news too much So surprise to see them here any thoughts for you on this one? Yeah, don't like it. Um, I don't like uncertainty. There's a lot of things not to like there. That's fair Uh, I just talked about like being risk averse even whenever the the numbers show a little bit of value But again, that comes from your personal risk tolerance and that's important to understand As an individual better, but yeah lots going on with the grizzlies Obviously john moran suspended brain and Clark just towards achilles. Stephen Adams still out But the lakers they're not necessarily in a position to Take advantage either lebron james is listed as out D'Angelo russell is questionable. Anthony Davis is probable for this one They just beat golden state by eight Um, so, you know, they're still a capable team, but the long-term splits without lebron james surprisingly Um, by which I mean ironically it's unsurprising that they're they're a much better team with lebron james They're net net rating. So if you look at their offensive rating or sorry, they're net rating with lebron versus without them It's a 9.6 point differential Um, straight up there a minus six without him. So you don't love to see that purely based on the data if I pull like the relevant samples, you know without john moran and The the grizzlies guys without the brawn, you know, d'Angelo russell But with like anthony all that kind of stuff if I look just purely based at the numbers My model has memphis favored by 2.3, but I am not touching this game from that sense I'd rather bet the under The the lakers offensive rating is very very bad with the current lineup Memphis is is kind of still decent but I Don't really want to get access to backing the grizzlies right now and I would understand Some struggles for both sides In terms of the offense. So the under is uh, the play here for me I talked about this in like week two in the nfl when I kept trying to bet the cardinals, uh, which was bad I needed a vibes meter in my model. Have you considered a vibes meter? Um to nullify value on the grizzlies Wait, did you ask if I have one or I'm asking have you considered it? You should have meant it? Well, so that's that that's a weird thing. Um, yeah, the vibes are weird. Yes. Yeah, the vibes are weird, but We're not gonna open because we spent time talking about like australian real football We don't really have time to open up the the box of like the vibes meter Well, like how like if you because I you know I'm assuming you unless you really implemented the vibes meter We have our inputs that we believe in and we put those in and then I would use them. I wouldn't put that in You know But like I don't like to get into the well. Here's why this is too high or too low It's like well if they've played this way without like jammer in and brandon clark and like this is what I should think Because this is what's actually sort of happening I don't like that. I don't like that uncertainty and then therefore I don't want part of like backing them at all So again, I'm sticking with the under. I don't have a vibes meter If I had known I was going to be questioning about a vibes meter. I would have had a better Better response, but honestly going on this show you should have known you'd be questioned about a vibes meter like just that's that's on you bro That's on you Which narratives exist for? Yeah rotation players Exactly, uh, so under 226 where brandon sees value for grizzlies and lakers that lay game on t and c But it is an eight game slate to six other games. We have not yet discussed anything else stand out to you right now Um, unsurprisingly, I like the nicks money line. That's minus five ten But I was looking for money line parlays, which I I do like whenever I see value on heavy favorites Not necessarily loving another favorite to pair them with I I You know my model likes milwaukee well enough, but orlando is kind of weird whenever they get to play at home So i'm probably staying away from that one, but you know, if you're really like if you're really feeling it Probably dallas would be the place that I would go there uh next if you're looking for that but I think that it's pretty safe to uh put The next money line with any other bets that you like just something i'm thinking about because uh, don't really see them Losing this one, but other than that I like taking the points, uh for the thunder Uh, it was four and a half. It's now four, which is a little less fortunate, but Um, you know, they need some wins right now The warriors are as we've talked about numerous times feels like we talk about the warriors and the lakers a lot On these tuesday, uh spots, but they're not They're not a good, uh road team Just haven't traveled particularly well at a certain point that matters to me um Oklahoma city like so again, I just didn't put the data Let that like with the adjustments of home court rest things like that Take hold but in addition to that whenever i'm uncertain I like to look at some trends to see if like there's something a little bit more there But oklahoma city at home covering, uh pretty well 58.8 of the games Um tend to score well relative to their implied team total at home So that that to me says that they kind of bring it at home with the offense and that helps me I want to back them and just take the points as well so there was um A report yesterday that sga is going to have like minute restrictions going forward. It doesn't sound like it'll be like 20 minutes. Um, it's going to be like reduced from what he's been playing, which is a lot. Um How much is that worth to you anecdotally because obviously like it's tough to model that out Like anecdotally, how much is that worth to you with regards to the spread? It is but it's nice to see in this instance the the spread moving Um, correct with confirmation that other people agree with you despite that report And the fact that uh, I don't necessarily believe a ton in the warriors on the road with you know, their current their current rotation so um feeling pretty solid with that still, uh, and and I don't think that it's going to be to the point where um Like it's going to be you know, it could be blow up, but yeah, the data says that it's the uh Still a great way uh to to get access to the scheme Yes, that's still a thunder plus four right now other things mentioned over the nicks money line Now minus 480 right now versus the hornets Um, you also have the bucks minus 280 is a potential add on there the mavericks the other one mentioned They are minus 370 they didn't move in towards the hornets. Um, because it was 5 10 for the nicks it's now 4 80 so keep an eye on that but um Just uh, I know that it didn't now it's it might as well be a pick them now Yeah, exactly just nervous shaking in my boots. No, what's going on here? Okay Uh, that's gonna wrap up the nba for today. Let's shift focus now and talk about the players championship We are a tpc sawgrass for this weekend brandon. It's a pretty unique course where There are a lot of factors to consider What should people know about this course before taking a look at the odds? It's tough It's tough. It's high variance. Um Waters in play virtually everywhere 17 of 18 holes 88 bunkers It's just a high variance event every year. Uh, last year's leader board looking back at we know that cam smith won but uh, the top like 15 was Pretty wild that's not to say it's random. That's not to say that like it was pretty living to very living leaderboard yeah, um But like it's it's not random and it's not like to the point where Oh, anybody can win. I mean a lot of guys can win because one of the key things here is that off the t Accuracy wins out over distance and anytime that happens that Brings a lot more golfers into play because they're not necessarily like there are certain golfers who are Who can be penalized at a longer course where distance is just a huge advantage Whenever you get rid of that the shorter hitters who are about as good at other things Generally, you know have the good short games to contend if they're not if they're losing distance off the tee consistently Then it's sort of an even playing field um that being said like Accuracy is never The only stat you should look at like there's a lot more to golf than hitting fairways, especially if you're um struggling with the irons, but It's it's punishing to miss the fairways here being the wrong spots off the tee penalties are hard to overcome again Tons of water lots of bunkering Because it's just not an easy course. Otherwise, you're not going to be having a ton of birdie and eagle chances It's not going to be a scorefest so Along with that greens are a bit smaller than the usual pga tour stop, which again puts added Emphasis on hitting the fairways getting good lies getting good angles wind can be an issue probably going to be a bit of an issue this week so Volatility is the key if you're asking me for key stats I still want to have stroking an approach at the top because it's just the most important stat that accounts for a par threes but Stroking it off the tee with a lean toward driving accuracy is important Then from there, it's basically just hoping that your guys don't find themselves with like a bad gust or You know a water ball, uh, which a lot of guys are going to have and it's going to derail things so uh Fight the the instinct to think that your first round leaders are Going to be there all four days. Uh, if your outrides get off to a slow start It's not over. Yeah Um, the wind is not terrible this week at least compared to last week Max of like 12 miles per hour there is some rain in the forecast Friday afternoon, um, but Later in the day Friday, so might not get there in time, but At least not as bad as last week where it was pretty pretty gusty for both afternoons At the top of the odds for we have a rory macaroy plus a 50 scottie cheffler is 10 to 1 John rom 11 to 1 now when Uh things opened yesterday macaroy and rom are both plus a 50 and rom is lengthened to 11 to 1 so Do you think this is an overreaction to rom being human last week or is it appropriate given that you mentioned? Accuracy matters more here more guys can compete rom more of a bomber macaroy that kind of applies to here as well Although he has one here Uh somewhat recently So what's your read on those top guys macaroy cheffler and rom and their respective odds Well, if you're asking me if it's an overreaction to what we saw from john rom last week absolutely um Golf betting odds are hilarious to watch if you track things like very closely because A lot of it is reactionary um, and Believe it or not. I you know, I've studied this four rounds of data Not that predictive Of of anything, um, especially when we're looking at someone such as a john rom But look, I cite finishing positions because it's easy. Um I don't really like to cite finishing positions that much because they're they're very volatile You know a putt or two that falls for a guy or doesn't fall for a guy could be the difference between like A t10 and in like a t25, um, if it's a really clustered event A penalty shot can do the same like one, you know a triple. I mean not for kurt kiddie I'm just to see he has so many as he wanted and and still going to win but um, you know a penalty shot can drop someone 15 spots and That's why we need to be looking at the underlying data, but uh I mean Whenever you see like really strong finishing positions That's largely indicative of good play. Yes, but that's going to shorten someone's odds If you have someone like rom Fall off a little bit and then rory and cheffler be it all over the the coverage come sunday That's going to stick in people's minds. That's going to change the way that people wanted that. So yeah It is an overreaction. Mm-hmm. That being said Even while I still have drawn rom is the favorite this week. It's pretty it's pretty flat relative to to other weeks where there's more variance this week um Course fit favoring some guys who have longer odds So I don't see rom uh as someone I could bet I have him around This is probably sound weird But I have rom and cheffler around 14 to 1 and rory around like 16 to 1 If I'm like if I were putting it to be completely fair. Yeah So I'm not betting the top guys because of the way that the variance is for this course, but Yeah, it is an overreaction and if you're going to bet one of them for me It's just going to be rom at the better number. I mean it does sound like those are long odds, but also like I mean Sportsbooks don't want to get skewered on favorites. They're gonna. Yeah a lot of the hold will come from favorites Like that's kind of how things work So the fact that their value is not a shock And the way that those three specifically are golfing I know we got to forgive john rom for one one bad week whenever he was very clearly like very flustered with the setup, but Those three guys specifically right now deserve to be where they are even if mathematically I'm not gonna bet them So we're not backing the favorites here between macaroy cheffler and rom When you look elsewhere in the outright market brandon anything stand out to you in terms of being a good value Not as much as I would hope especially for how overvalued I see the favorites three names are jumping out to me um And if if I when I looked yesterday three names jumped out If I looked just this morning only one of those three's really would jump out, but They're tony finnell calling more cala and jason day More cala shortened from 28 to 24 I had him at like 27 so I thought the 28 was like just enough uh to want to get there Frankly, I'd still bet him at 24. I think it's fine. Um, I was just you know, we kind of joked about this We were hoping for a bit of a down week last week for him He went a little too far with it Went a little bit far on that um Jason day's down from 34 to 29 or Oh, so he was 36. Yeah And then he got up to 41 and now he's 29. Okay That's that's interesting, but the name that still shows a little bit of value for me is tony finnell um Believe it or not. He's actually pretty accurate off the tee despite being really long He's fifth over the past 50 rounds in this field in stroking approach. He's ninth in putting He's like a john rom light in the sense of like Very long off the tee, but actually pretty accurate as well Uh, great irons and right now a great putter So I still like finnell and again, I still like more cal in day just not as much as I did On monday more cal is pretty obvious for the setup here. He's got driving accuracy. He's got iron play the odds are Now they're about accurate for where he's been 28 it was a little bit a little bit long. Um, so, you know a situation to buy in on maybe this Maybe there's length in again, but I guess the The genie's out of the bottle there. It's probably going to be 24 shorter for more cala and then for a day Someone we've we've been talking about a lot over our dfs podcast Talking about a lot today as well Former winner here doing a lot with a putter right now But pretty accurate off the tee four straight top 10s, which again, I don't like to cite as like proof of good play With a caveat for day It is a lot of the putter doing the work for him But that's not to say that the tee degree game is bad. So those are the three guys That i'm looking at toward the top of the board And despite the high variance, I think throwing a lot of darts probably not the way i'm going to go Right for this week because i'm not really seeing a ton of value on the long shots Maybe like a A very partial unit wager on someone like a matt kutcher, but I swore that I like him as a top 20. So Probably rather just go that route. I guess digging quickly into fina who is 28 to one right now at fan dual sportsbook Doesn't have a good history at tpc sawgrass, but as you mentioned, it's pretty volatile um Is that the reason you're okay overlooking that because like we know we talk about this a lot in our other show Like course history will never trump current form for us and tony fina's current form is elite better than it's ever been Is that the bigger reason you're overlooking the current the the course history is it because of the volatile event? What kind of pushes you over the edge with fina? Almost nobody has great Inconsistent form at tpc sawgrass again. I don't want to just throw like throw my hands up and say look It's volatile. So who knows but Right, uh, there's not a lot of great form Uh, consistently At tpc sawgrass like yes, the better players tend to separate long term, but it's not necessarily like one of those spots where it's oh like um You know here like the five guys who are sort of can't miss every year because it's just it doesn't work that way at this setup Okay, let's shift our focus now and talk about some not outright So you look at those over at fan dual sports or brand anybody stand out to you there Uh, so I got a group bet group g Uh, that's seawool kim chris kirk tommy fleetwood and kirk kitty yama I like seawool kim there at plus 210 Uh, you know former winner here, but very accurate off the t great t-degree game Overall the putter for him not particularly good right now, but i'm fine to bank on The accuracy in the t-degree game for seawool kim versus the rest there at at what i view is a good number I have around uh, plus 200 so Plus 210 i'll take there. Yeah, that is seawool kim at plus 210. Chris kirk is in there recent winner Tommy fleetwood kirk kitty yama. This is all just the recent winners apparently because her Kitty yama one last week kirk won like two weeks ago kim One not too long ago either so all the recent winners and tommy fleetwood Lump together for seawool kim plus 210 and that one anything else you like right now As i mentioned matt kutcher top 20 Plus 360 has the right game for tpc sawgrass still one here In the past back in i think 2012 if memory serves A bit worse lately at tpc sawgrass, but again doesn't really matter there Um, he's 36th in accuracy 57th in stroke skiing t-degree in over the past 50 rounds That's a good enough combo with the course knowledge To go to kutcher. It's a really tough week to find a lot of value. Um, yeah, maybe that stuff sort of softens up closer to thursday But right now things are pretty tight The only other thing that i'm kind of seeing is i will be throwing a Partial unit dart on joel daemon first round leader at plus 190. He's got a good Good game for this, uh course good ball striker pretty accurate off the tee. So, um Not seeing a ton and it's it's important to you know flag that and and not Get weird if you don't have to but uh, yeah, that's kind of Where i am for right now as of tuesday i had to toss the control f out there to find daemon He is 120 to 1 to be the first round leader For joel daemon, uh, what puts you on daemon as far as being a guy who could lead after thursday's action Well, i have a first round, uh model sim Which kind of shows some a little bit of value there, but he's he can he can get he can get hot um, but again good t-degree game generally Very accurate the irons right now not particularly strong, but should be good in a good position off the tee um For for daemon. So that's kind of the angle there is hitting fairways and figuring out the irons And it's been a rough little stretch here for daemon, but outside of the arnold palmer Hasn't been because of ball striking the ball striking for daemon has still been pretty good It's been more so putting which is kind of you know, how things go with him Pretty often, but joel daemon 120 to 1 to be the first round leader as potential spar brand is okay Tossing a sprinkle sprinkle out there for it this week That's all we got here for the players championship and tonight across the nba. So brandon want to thank you Once again for swinging by uh spreading your Uh plentiful knowledge. Uh, good luck to you tonight. We'll talk to you once again in the very near future Thank you by very near future.

This has been covering the spread right here on the fan dual podcast network


The next time you go to a cash machine, you might notice that the new 50 is now officially in circulation. But how did it actually happen, from artistry to technology and modern production? Let's have a look at how it all started. Refreshing the Euro banknotes means starting at the design phase, but technical work also needs to be done to make those designs printable. Banknote experts at the European Central Bank inspect early blueprints in order to check the position of the new security features. The blueprints and designs then have to be brought to life in the production phase. Banknote paper is made of cotton and made to be durable, and it has a unique feel. It has to be much more resistant to wear and tear than regular paper. Some security features, such as the watermark, the security thread and the hologram, are embedded in the paper at the paper mill. From this moment on, even unprinted banknote paper is subject to strict security measures. The paper is sent onto the printing works where it goes through seven different printing and finishing stages. The notes then undergo a series of tough tests. Once they are issued, they have to withstand being folded, crumpled, rubbed, exposed to sunlight and, of course, being passed from hand to hand every day. Freshly printed 50 Euro notes are then packaged and stored securely before being shipped across Europe and beyond. They travel by road, air and sea, escorted by security teams who protect the notes until they reach their destination. The new fifties are then put into hundreds of thousands of cash machines, ready for the next phase of their journey.

How do you, how is switching so easy for you? Konatum tukani ki jaluo nivo tu, yes, it's jalubu styling denia, but you do it so easily. How do you do that? Like for rapping muse ma, msa li nifunza kurapni kenedion bimba, ane itwa kinkaka. Kinkaka? Back in the days to kiwa. Akiwa rabit bando? Akiwa rabit. Amigro na bradangu, bradangu mbigi, wake suma isi. So na wana bila nandika, nandika mistari. Yanisahivu na nili kuwa. And then for ki jaluo nili kundime kuwa nikiangalewasani wengi wa ki jaluo. Kamama iti kinkong, kina beatmas. All right, that's where you're, you know, they influenced you in one or another. I love, tu mona, there are other artists when you wanna rap in vernacular. Tu mona kako fimashete, you would have Nakimeru and he kills it. You're doing it in Luwo. We've seen other people. There's o mami Don, he does it in Kiliwa. Like is that something you'll encourage more people to venture into? Do you think there's a future in that? Like muzik ni atu, na atu spread sana culture. Kamu niza spread culture, tribiako. Mama, for example, you're gonna spread ya genge, ya street, just spread it. Right. Ya. Okay na, for those who don't know, he's worked with some big names. Omoak na kina ma dogs, Xray. You've worked with Kina Paroti. Mr. same. And all these amazing collabs. So how is it so easy for you to work with people like that? People, like mi ni me gro, niki wakampo. Wendan.

Tengzika, kama tukawak. The rest is history. Ah, nice. So that means, like, wuna doku na watu, ngini ma rapafilani wanga wa tumwe gengeton. Na Omoak na wa suwa gengeton. So, does that mean you appreciate the culture and what they do? Is that something you'll advise also watu ngini kufanya? Mama, what you take on gengeton? Gengeton, for me na appreciate gengeton.

Let's go


This is Stink Tech Hawaii, Community Matters here. One, okay, we're back, we're live. Hmm, my goodness, it's Monday. Woo, it's not the first show Monday, it's the second show Monday. It's a very important show. It's Meena Marko and Me on Mondays about energy. And Marko is on travel, so it's Meena and Me on Monday about energy. Hi Meena, welcome back to the show, your show. There you are. Hi Jay, thanks for having me. Absolutely. We have such interesting discussions. And so, alone at last. How do we fill up this hour? Let's talk about a couple of things today. I mean, we entitled this show Planning Everywhere, but what about execution? And that relates to infrastructure in Hawaii requires both planning and execution. But let's warm up and I'll tell you a little about our trip, our Think Tech trip, only last week to Maui and Molokai. And I wanna just raise one of the things that came up in Molokai. We're gonna make OC16 movies about, we are making OC16 movies about both islands of what we saw and learned there. But one of the interesting things, which I know that you follow is this whole thing about entitlements. And so you have a project in Molokai, it's the Half Moon Project. And it's a big solar and battery, high-tech battery installation. It was going on before with, I think it was called Princeton Energy out of the West Coast. And they couldn't finish it. I guess they had a little trouble with public acceptance, among other things. And they sold their position to Half Moon. Now Half Moon is gonna finish it. In fact, we had a show two weeks ago with, I think his name is Mike Hastings and he's the CEO of the Half Moon Company that's supposed to do it. And while we were on Molokai on this trip, there was a lot of discussion about it. And one of the most interesting discussions was with a woman named Amelia. She has a Dutch last name and she is the principal of Sustainable Molokai. And they're in discussions with Half Moon and they would like certain entitlements for this project. They would like to have a percentage of stock of equity in the company and they'd like to have a kind of royalty, talking about 1% off the top, as I understand it. Now this is really important as a pace-setting development. It's not dissimilar from other similar negotiations and demands in the past. When you provide certain entitlements, quid pro quo, community benefits, sometimes millions of dollars of community benefits and then I'll be your friend and then I won't oppose your project. Something that's a little chilling about that and I think that approach has busted a lot of projects and here it raises its head again and maybe it'll work. Maybe they'll negotiate some solution where the community, that is the Sustainable Molokai community, will get some stock or royalties or something out of this and then they will agree to it. But there are ripple effects, there are implications of this as there have been we've seen in the past in Linai about the wind in Linai. We've seen it certainly in the TMT-30 meter telescope issue and various other projects around the state where activist groups who oppose the project would be willing to agree to the project if only you gave them a new gymnasium or maybe some kind of monetary consideration. Your thoughts, Mina, please. Yeah, well I think it all boils down to the power purchase agreement and first of all, the power purchase agreement has to be a competitive pricing. So if they can give the utility a competitive price while offering all of these benefits to the communities, good on them. But one shouldn't be looking at the power purchase agreement to subsidize these kinds of community entitlements or extractments, extractions or benefits or whatever you wanna call them. I think that's the main thing that the power purchase agreement is competitive and not something that's subsidized. Then the developer can do whatever he likes with his profits in sharing the developer side profits with the community. So I think that's the main point that has to be looked at. Yeah, well if you were a queen for a day or a year and you had total control over this, would you prefer it to be not, would you prefer it to outlaw it to say no, no, no? You purchase power agreement, that's fine, but we don't want you to promise activist groups because they're not identical to the rate payer or to the population, the electorate if you will. They're just a group that can speak loudly and make public statements and all. Would you say, no, we don't want this, we're not going to permit you to do this? Just give us the straight economics here? Yeah, well I think there's a really fine line between working towards the overall benefit of the community and what may, could be, I wanna say blackmailing quotes that you can't even consider the project unless you give us something and to get our support. I mean, we have to be really careful about this and especially if we're driving towards lower electricity prices for the community as a whole, that's a larger benefit than trying to grab a piece of that to developers high. So there's some really careful balancing that needs to go on here. I mean, somebody pays, nothing's free, but as a former regulator, what I wanna make sure is the rate pair is not paying for this. Already Molokai prices are being subsidized by the Maui rate pair and we wanna move away from subsidized rates to something more actual rates. So again, we need to be really, really careful in how we approach these kinds of discussions. Yeah, just a thought about it is that you said this, that if you add in to the price of doing the cost of doing the project, the cost of these entitlements, well then the cost of doing the project is greater. And then when I go to the utility for the purchase power agreement or I go to the PUC for approval, I disclose I have to pay X millions off the top and it costs me more and therefore my rate has to be higher and that's a legitimate statement. It's a legitimate argument. The problem is that you're paying some people and the result is you have a higher rate applying to all people. So a smaller group is benefiting, the larger group is paying for it. But it seems clear, the economics to me seem clear about that. And so either the utilities- Now, especially for energy pricing and clean energy pricing, we need to move to a more economic-based model and there was a time where the policy was we would subsidize clean energy.  But the economics have changed and what we really need is some relief for the rate payer right now. And so what we really should be focusing on is we want the most competitively priced clean energy projects available to us. Right, this would be the wrong direction. And to me that's beautiful. This would actually increase rates to the consumer, wouldn't it? Yeah. So I just wonder going forward, if we have this deal, which is a momentous deal, this is gonna have a huge effect on Molochai, it's gonna be a third or more of the power that right now Molochai is mostly diesel. Got a nice plant there, got a battery system, all that, but it's mostly diesel. And this will change things in Molochai, it'll be a significant impact if you will to the energy picture on Molochai. But what troubles me is that if this happens, it will set a standard, don't you think? It will be sort of an approved methodology where the community gets the entitlement, the extraction if you will, and then it goes forward on that basis. There'll be other projects where people might be inclined to oppose them, object to them, I mean, so easy to object these days.  And so it could get to be de rigueur, you know, it could get to be the way things work all the time, the normal, doesn't that concern you? Yeah, it does concern me and that's why we need to be careful on how we approach these issues. And especially Molochai is a really special situation because right now they have too much solar during the day and not enough demand. So it's one of the reasons why batteries appear to be attractive as a way to resolve some of these issues because they can only back those diesel generators down so much without compromising reliability. Yeah. And so institutions like the Hawaii Natural Energy Institute and Hawaii Electric are working in partnership to look at these kinds of technical challenges for Molochai right now. So the basic problem, these numbers aren't, I haven't looked at them recently, but two years ago when I kind of looked at this issue, the net metering, the customers with net metering on Molochai accounted only for about 10% of the customer base and but they were causing the most impact to the grid. You know, in jeopardizing, like I said, so much, you can only send back so much energy to the grid without jeopardizing reliability. So, you know, how do you serve the other 90% of customers on Molochai without access to clean energy without access to solar yet making it the very electricity costs more affordable for them rather than increasing their costs. Yeah, that's especially relevant on Molochai because Molochai people are economically, a lot of people are economically disadvantaged, there's not a lot of jobs there, there's not a lot of money there, not a lot of investment there. And so we need to keep the prices as low as we can from Molochai is one of the highest rates in the state, isn't it? I think it's between Molochai and Lanai. And again, you know, the challenge of Molochai is you have a long island with, you know, transmission from one end to the other end. And then you have really small isolated communities like Kalalpapa, but the transmission and distribution is the bulk of the cost of Molochai, not so much a generation, but yeah, it's, you know, the transmission distribution contributes a lot to that high cost of electricity on Molochai. Well, you know, more and more, we realized that the low hanging fruit in terms of moving to renewables has been picked. And we realized that we have to invent systems that to deal with the need for infrastructure. We're at a point where we have technology that's coming down the pike that can help us. We have demands that require new infrastructure. We have the complications, complexities of the grid going forward, and it's all about infrastructure. And that means it's all about investment. So we have to manage the investment, manage the infrastructure, and manage all the purchase power agreements going forward in order to resolve those problems and provide that infrastructure. And we're going to take a short break. Meena Merida. Meena Merida is the principle of energy dynamics from a chair of the PUC. When we come back, Meena, I'd like to talk to you about infrastructure and how we deal with it, how we manage it, how we obtain the capital for it in order to move ahead properly at this point in the trajectory of our move to clean energy. We'll be right back after this short break. This is Think Tech Hawaii, raising public awareness. Aloha. I'm Arvi Kelly, host of Out of the Comfort Zone.

On behalf of the community enriched by Think Tech Hawaii's 30-plus weekly shows, mahalo for your generosity. Okay, we're back, we're live with Mina Marina here on Marco, Mina, Marco and me on Mondays about energy, and today it's Mina and me, and we're talking about our principal topic is planning. Planning everywhere, but what about implementation and execution? What about, you know, and in order to have infrastructure which we absolutely need for energy and so many other things in the state and country, I might add, we have to have planning. You really can't do infrastructure. You can't deal with it as an asset, depreciate it and replace it as an asset unless you have planning. And query, do we have the planning? And if we have the planning, how collaborative is that? Is it how coordinated is, or do we have 57 silos of planning, none of them talking to the other where nothing ever gets done. So do we have the planning? Well, what's your thought about that, Mina Marina? Well, I think, you know, one of the most, one of the most, how can I describe it? Most underestimated or undervalued, one of the most undervalued offices within our state government is Office of Planning which at one time, especially during the Yoshi administration handled coordination between departments and counties on a statewide basis. And there was some kind of constitutional kerfuffle. Kerfuffle, right? It said that it was unconstitutional to have any type of permanent offices under the governor's office. The Office of Planning was moved to, eventually they ended up in deep end, Department of Business, Economic Development and Tourism. But over the years, they've been undervalued. And I remember, I think it was at the Hawaii Energy Policy forums in Energy Day, the person speaking for Office of Planning said that the state's functional plans have not had a general update, coordinated update since 1992. And so now with our infrastructure aging and not only our electrical grid, but our water infrastructure, our telecom infrastructure, road systems, one of the most important efforts that we can focus on is looking at our state functional plans and really updating, not all of these plans have been updated recently, but updating with a thought to how to coordinate our infrastructure to get the maximum benefits and how to incorporate issues like resiliency, adaptation, carbon reduction, greater efficiency, sustainability. So, how do we look at the intersection of all these issues while we're updating the functional plans? Yeah, I think intersection is a magic word because I'm not acquainted with all the agencies and government that do planning.  So you have the state plan coming out of, I guess, the Office of Planning. You have the PSIP. That is the, what is it? What does that stand for? It's part of the electricity, part of the utilities. It's the utility. Operating resource planning, so the Power Systems Improvement Plan. Yeah, Power Systems Improvement Plan, which is a major plan of hundreds, thousands of pages provided to the PUC at its request. It took a while to put that together. It took a long time to get a plan together. Now it's a plan that's been approved, but there's a lot of other agencies that have a lot of other plans. And correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think there's any agency that says we're gonna look at all the plans. We're gonna somehow, we're gonna integrate all the plans. We're gonna find the common points. We're gonna find the points of conflict and we're gonna work it out so there's one great big plan and we're not moving down the wrong road here and the right road there. We're gonna move down consistent roads and have consistent integrated plan. Is there anybody, do you know if anybody is doing that, putting the plans together, Mina? Well, I think people always point to Oregon as and having innovative planning efforts there. And yeah, there are areas that you can probably point to, but I think one is developing the mindset within the agency, within the staff of all of the issues that are emerging that we should be focused on and that planning should be done in looking at how to get multiple benefits from certain actions rather than real linear thinking that you're gonna build this project and this is gonna happen. We have to move away from that and think about it more as a system. And this is really important because we're spending billions of dollars in upgrading our critical infrastructure. The electrical grid for one, our telecommunication systems, our fuel infrastructure with reinvestments in the refinery, millions, hundreds of millions of dollars will be spent in these efforts. And the critical aspect of planning is we need some certainty while we're making these kinds of investments. And the planning cannot be politically focused.  Plans have to evolve and plans have to avoid the kind of political uncertainties. Yeah, especially if you're an investor. Because big investments are going to be needed. Right, if you're an investor, you need to have that certainty. But let me move it to another problem that I see. So, and maybe this is because the various planning organizations and plans are in different puke's, different silos. It works this way, but there is very little actual implementation of these plans. What I mean is you have a plan and more than likely than not, it's not even actually published. It goes maybe around some government agencies but there's not a lot of transparency in it because it just winds up on a shelf. Nobody takes it seriously, least of all the legislature who in the first analysis may have even asked for the plan and now the legislature doesn't implement the plan that it called for. Or a plan that's a very good plan theoretically that is worthy of implementation but nothing happens, it goes on the shelf and gathers dust. And I think that's the public perception too. You hear about the plans, you don't hear anything else. But, and so I think that's why, you know, it's really important, you know, when you start looking at these, especially civil service positions within our various agencies, that these are, you know, these are the professionals that you count on for execution. You know, these are the guys that are going to facilitate execution for the private sector. So, you know, how much we in fact invest in these professionals who should be continually aware of. I think, you know, right now, you look at what's happening on the federal level and the uncertainty that's happening there and especially with the agencies that regulate, regulate health and safety. You know, the key people that keep these organizations going that do the planning, do the execution that we rely on for our health and safety, you know, they're being disregarded. I think what we're seeing is really the dismantling of, you know, some key agencies. I, you know, this is kind of an aside. What's his name? Michael Lewis who wrote Moneyball. He had an article recently, I think it was in Vanity Fair about what's happening within the Department of Energy and Department of Agriculture. I'm really concerned because, you know, within the Department of Agriculture, we in Hawaii rely a lot on the Rural Development Funds and, you know, systematically those kinds of programs are being affected and those are the kinds of programs that do a lot of planning for especially our rural communities in dealing with financing for critical infrastructure. Yeah, that raises the interesting question. You know, suppose you find, I mean, I'm not saying that's so here with the Agriculture Department, but suppose you find an agency or program that should be retired. Well, you don't do that ad hoc. You don't do it because you woke up one morning and, you know, figured out you didn't like it. You do it according to a plan also. So you grow and you evolve and you change things all according to some kind of plan where you take into account the ripple effects and the way it affects other agencies and other parts of the government and the society and unfortunately in the federal government in this administration, we're not doing anything like that. But likewise, in the state of Hawaii, we should be expanding, evolving, changing, improving and also in some cases reducing government programs according to a plan. Some kind of a plan is generally agreed. So this all takes me to the fact that this conversation between you and me is not in a vacuum and that there are other people talking about this, particularly at the Hawaii Energy Policy Forum and in fact there's a plan to address this whole issue about infrastructure and resilience and sustainability and energy and planning and finding the funds for infrastructure and coming together on these things in the legislative briefing scheduled for, I guess it's the first week of January in the Capitol Auditorium as we always have a program around that time to brief the legislature. Can you talk about that program and how it is shaping up at this point? Well, I think we're still in the preliminary stages right now but my understanding is that we are going to partner, the forum is going to partner with Office of Planning during this briefing. So I hope that we can get some really good provocative speakers to sort of just open up our minds as to the importance of this issue as we move forward to be a, to have effective governance. And planning is so key in resolving conflicts. If we all understand the objective that objectives and goals that we are trying to reach, sometimes you can approach those objectives and goals from different avenues. It doesn't have to be one road. And so when you're able to do that, you can build the constituency over these kinds of common goals and objectives even though the approach might be a little different. But I think that way you get bigger buy-in. So that's another reason why planning is so important to help resolve conflicts. Yeah, this is a very important question and we've only touched on the very surface of it. There's all kinds of questions about how you do the planning and how you collaborate on the planning and how you avoid conflict between the agencies and how you ultimately implement the planning. But I think it'd be a very worthwhile program. So everybody pencil in the first week in January for the legislative briefing by the YNC Policy Forum and the Office of Planning. That'll be a great program. Well, anyway, thank you, Meena-Marita. I love covering provocative issues and we've done that here today. So I look forward to seeing you again, two weeks hence for more discussion on Meena-Marita with me on Monday on energy and related issues. Thank you so much, Meena.

Welcome to a new week of the rundown. This week, we're talking about the CMSID database error and how it affects you, and how the Navy is working to fix a travel claim backlog. An error occurred last week when more than 4,000 letters of intent were listed as cancelled within the Career Management System Interactive Detailing, or CMSID. Rest assured, the error has been resolved, all assignments are unchanged, and CMSID has been fully restored. Sailors begin receiving notifications about the error on February 7. The Navy worked to immediately correct the problem, and wants to assure sailors that no action is required on their part. Sailors can now use CMSID as normal to view, apply, and check the status of billets. Contact your detailer for specific questions, and find more information on CMSID by visiting npc.navy.mil. The Navy is working towards resolving an issue involving a backlog of travel claims for PCS orders. Currently, there is a backlog of over 7,000 claims with a settlement time between 60 and 70 days. There are multiple reasons for the backlog, but Navy Personal Command has taken a number of steps to resolve the issue, including distributing a portion of the backlog to other personnel support detachments for expedited travel claim processing. Travel Processing Center Memphis anticipates returning to the 30-day processing requirement by mid-March. Navy leaders say they remain committed to improving Sailors customer service experiences and will apply lessons learned to delay future PCS claim backlogs. Find more information in the story on Navy.mil. That's all for this week. For any questions, send us a message at usnpeople.fctandnavy.mil. For the Chief Naval Personnel, I'm MC2 L.J. Burleson. Thanks for watching.
