Hello everyone, this is Amit Dan of amitdan.com. Today I'll have another episode of life tips and tricks video and I'll show you how to cut avocado to store it in the refrigerator. If this is your first time or if you visit, thank you for your support on this channel. I'm always trying new and different ideas. If you're into thinking outside the box, this is the channel to subscribe. If you're looking for more tips and tricks videos, there will be links in the description box below. So avocado is a fruit that you know sometimes it may not be possible to finish all at once and what we most do we just you know cut half of it and then you know that restore the rest of the half in the refrigerator. But what happens if you do that is going to get you know kind of D2 oxidization is going to get like darker and it doesn't look good anymore. So today I'm going to show you how you can cut an avocado so it would stay fresh when you put it in the fridge and then when you take it out it didn't look that bad. There are different ways you can do that but the way I do whenever you're cutting an avocado so cut it in the middle. So for example we have an avocado here and if you cut it this way so what's going to happen that you're going to have the seed on one side and the no seed on the other side. So let's see what happens. Okay so I cut an avocado into half and if I open it then you're going to see that you know there are two pieces and one has seed which is right here and the other doesn't have the seed. So what you you're going to do if you're eating it then eat the side which doesn't have the seed and this is the side to put it in the fridge. So what you can do you can just you know wrap it with a plastic wrapper so let me show you and then if you do it like this and we're just going to you know make it nice. Okay so I wrapped it and I'm going to put this in the fridge and this way this is going to stay fresher than you know if you didn't wrap it and if you didn't have the seed on this side and it's going to look much better or it's not going to look a lot darker when you take it out after one day or two days so that's how you can preserve avocado to eat it later on and you keep it in the refrigerator. So that's all for today. Thank you for watching this video. There will be more videos coming up so I'll see you shortly. Thank you.


In this tutorial, we will learn how to search for Rhea reactions by enzyme class or EC number and how reactions in Rhea are mapped to EC numbers. The Nomenclature Committee of the International Union of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology maintains a numerical classification scheme that classifies enzymes according to their reactions they catalyze. In this classification enzymes are associated with a code called EC number which consists of the letters EC followed by four numbers separated by periods. Those numbers represent a progressively finer classification of the enzymatic activity. An EC number where all four positions are defined is commonly called complete EC number. In partial EC numbers the last number is replaced by a dash. Rhea reactions are mapped to complete EC numbers. As of the current Rhea release, more than 90% of all EC numbers are mapped to a Rhea reaction and our biocurators aim at keeping Rhea in sync with the enzyme classification. On the other hand, as Rhea describes more enzyme reactions compared to EC numbers, just over half of the Rhea reactions can be mapped to EC numbers. Some spontaneous reactions, for example, will never get an EC number. Making links in both directions is an ongoing process. Note that a Rhea reaction can be mapped to several EC numbers and an EC number in turn can be mapped to several Rhea reactions as the granularity of the classification is not the same for EC numbers and Rhea. We can search Rhea for both complete and partial EC numbers either using the simple search, the advanced search, or the retrieve ID mapping tool. If we do a simple search with the prefix EC colon star, we will retrieve all the Rhea reactions which have been mapped to an EC number. The links to EC numbers are provided by default in a dedicated column of the result table. We can filter any search result by enzyme class. If we click on one of the seven top-level classes of the enzyme classification, instead of the simple search, we could also have done an advanced search. To do this, we click on advanced search, then on all, we select enzyme classification and then directly type the number. As an example, we can type a partial EC number. We will retrieve all the Rhea reactions catalyzed by enzymes from the subclass described by the partial EC number 2.1.2. As we browse through our results, we can click on the EC number <IP_ADDRESS>. A black box appears with three different links to explore related information in Uniprot or the enzyme database on XBusy. If we click on the link search chemical reactions in Rhea for this EC number, we see that it is linked to two Rhea reactions. The example nicely illustrates that an EC number can be linked to one or several Rhea reactions. We click on one of these reaction identifiers to go to the corresponding reaction page. There is a link to enzyme classification here at the top and also under cross-references. We can search Rhea with several EC numbers at a time. To do so, we can use the simple search box and combine our EC numbers with the OR operator. However, if we have more than just a few EC numbers, for which we'd like to obtain the corresponding Rhea reactions, it will be more convenient to use the ID mapping service. We click on the retrieve ID mapping link, select the identifier type, enzyme classification, copy, paste our list into the box and click on submit. All the numbers shown in this tutorial will of course change regularly depending on the evolution of biological knowledge and on progressing bio-curation efforts. Never hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or remarks and to look at our help pages and other videos. Thank you very much for your attention.

I'm a graduate with a bachelor's degree in business administration and I'm a mother of one son, a single mother. You know people have a perception on farming that agriculture is for the old people, it's for the uneducated people, but I'm proud to say that I'm a graduate and I opted to do this business and it's important to be an educated farmer. You can't sit there and wait for losses, you'll see things coming before. Like when the COVID-19 was here, most farmers sold their pigs and they were asking me how are you managing to keep pigs with the situation that is here. I told them a time will come and the business will go back to normal. So giving up, it's not much of me. I know this is where my future is. I challenge the youth to take up farming, it's a good business.


Hey guys it's Nate aka The Photo Count and welcome back to the channel. Today actually begins the end of Footies as we know it with the season timer running out and of course the Footies best of re-release still out for another week but we've got team 5 going out of packs today and some SPC's expiring and that's making us question will EA make this last week of Footies stand out? What are they going to do different today? What cover start icon are we going to get? What Footies cards are going to be in packs? We discussed it all today guys look through the leaks and talk about what might drop on this Footies Friday of FIFA 23. If you're excited for the video drop a thumbs up on it, subscribe if you're new and let's go over yesterday's content first because what a day of content actually from EA Sports not only a player SPC but a big time player pick coming back and let's start off with that player pick. The 94 plus EA gave it a cheeky little plus one upgrade. Maybe the 93 plus that went away on Wednesday they re-release a 94 plus shape shifters or Footies player pick. Now it's of course a little bit more expensive, four squads required but everything's free at this stage right with the 85 times 10 guys if you're trying to pack any high rated Footies cards 97 like Ginola 98 Rashford any of the 99s this is the SPC to do it from. We opened a bunch in the second channel I'll link it up above right here and we finally hit some of those 99s. I didn't on my account unfortunately I had some decent pack pulls but these are consistently giving out really good chances at those 99 rated cards unfortunately it's only two times repeatable but we can do it again this weekend it's not going to refresh today according to the refresh timer it's going to be either Saturday or Sunday I have to re look at it sometimes a little bit weird you guys know where it stays like two days on the refresh timer but sometimes that means like two days 23 hours instead of actually being like a legit two days so that's kind of the issue there a lot of prices on the market dropped because of that pick everybody is doing this pick right now in this game and they're packing some of those insane cards and that goes to show you that these cards like Rashford and Ginola are getting packed look at a lot of the footies prices yesterday Rashford from 685,000 coins all the way down to 600k now he's back up to almost 700,000 coins but a lot of your even team two three four footies cards that are out of packs dropped off a lot in value yesterday Griezmann was 513k he was down to low 400s so a lot of those dropped off in value because people were packing them on tradable and so they were able to sell their tradable version they had from their team not that we're going to talk a lot about the market but that SBC is just amazing right best chance of getting a 99 right now in this game and then of course we have to talk about this player SBC Kefrem Taram a FIFA legend this year an inform of future stars and the team of the season that have all been very overpowered and very meta the budget Viera some people call this card 200,000 coins to complete aka free with the 84 times 10 it's like everything's free right now in this game it's great right great time to be playing FIFA because everything's craftable and the 84 times 10 is not one of those SBCs that's expiring today neither is the 85 times 10 so the crafting yet again continues but what a card 99 dribbling six foot four a high-high work rates a premium item and some people were even talking about it in the stream yesterday is this a replacement for Vajman Linkovic Savage in my opinion I think no but I can only imagine this card is really really cracked in game so ggsda for dropping a hype player SBC at a great price of course that is also gonna have to feel pretty meta with 99 dribbling being six foot four and as meta as that card is in this game that's a very very must-do SBC unless your midfields already stocked stacked and loaded with all the other crazy footies cards that we have but we like that from EA that is good content now I also want to direct your attention to the milestones tab and objectives where we had the footies week six XP dropped and like EA promised it is a double XP week I believe everything it's gonna drop this entire week should be double XP all of this is right these were 300 last week they're now 600 per section marquee matchup dropped yesterday as well as one of the first things we could do alongside of the gameplay grind to get that XP if you're still working towards level 40 or level 41 right now but this alluded to one of the earlier leaks and one of the leaks that we have for an upcoming cover star icon SBC Lothar Mateus guys we thought that might have been the SBC today on Friday it is not because he is actually gonna be getting an SBC later on this weekend on Sunday the 27th which is kind of confusing to us now because if we're gonna take a look at the leaks that we have for today we only have two leaks as of right now and Mateus is that first leak but he's not dropping today and the other player that is leaked does not seem to be the type of player that we would expect to see on a promo Friday and I want to talk about that straight off the bat cover star icons we're talking about a lot recently first of all this Mateus it's now confirmed to be Sunday it's not exactly these stats this is a predicted card on Twitter from footscoreboard and criminal X on Twitter but this could be pretty close to what it actually is they've been juicing up these cover star icons that's a massive one right GGs to EA very deserved he's very meta he could play center back in game as well very useful for endgame squad building 97 98 rated is not anywhere out of the question and that's gonna be a cracked cracked card Mateus has been really good all year long and a lot of people that have used his cards and loved him he's insane every single year so that's a big one now the other leak is not as big of a name or in terms of the FIFA meta and hype a goalkeeper Ikea Cassius cover star icon coming soon as well and to a lot of us this doesn't feel like a hype enough player to be selected as a cover star icon SBC for a promo Friday like today not taking anything away from Cassius but compare that to again the players we've had released on Fridays recently right we had the Ronaldinho we had the Rooney we've had the Roberto Carlos big name players is a Don of course right big name players have been dropped on Fridays guys so I think that for me leaves the door open that there is still yet another cover star icon that could potentially be dropped today as an SBC maybe they go without a cover star icon SBC today and maybe they just bring it back to footies players that I do not know but we've got cover star icon SBC throughout almost the entirety of footies and I hope that continues again today but it probably is not going to be Cassius unless EA want to drop him as an SBC Cassius to me could actually be our objective player today because it just seems to be more of like an objective type level card right we've had skulls that was in objectives maybe Cassius is going to be that next icon inside of this part of the menus and I would say today if you're checking for objectives make sure you're checking under the milestones tab today because everything under the objectives tab is going to run out and expire on Thursday as you can see the countdown of course for the footie season ends on Thursday at division rivals rewards so all of the new milestones should be dropping today in milestones all the new objective content should be in here unless EA wanted to expire on Thursday and then it'll drop in the objective section but I just want to point that out and talk about that with you guys because these are the only two leaks that we really have right now and EA have told us when Mateus is going to drop so the real question mark is this guy and it doesn't seem to be quite on the level with the type of player we would expect EA to be dropping today as a player SBC now speaking of other SBCs we have some SBCs expiring today we're going to get into what's coming into packs in just a second SBCs that are expiring today the beloved 90 plus that we've been grinding all week long trying to pack 99 rated footies cards this is expiring today will it come back will EA maybe up the rating just like they did from the 93 to 94 plus and maybe make this a 91 or a 92 plus maybe make it one squad EA sports that'd be fantastic as well I'm hoping they do that but other than that there's not a lot of SBC content otherwise that is expiring today except for the daily bronze and silver upgrades and of course the 90 icon player pick as well but I don't think too many people are doing those at this stage maybe a few but if you need some bronze and silver still in the club make sure you do these before they go away the daily gold is still around so don't worry about that if you're using this one which I know a lot of you guys are to get gold support in the crafting upgrade this one is still around for another week but if you need bronze and silvers to put in your club still to get this done make sure you do your daily three of the bronze and the silver but other than that I think today is really going to come down to what player SBCs they do drop and does a 90 plus player pick or a 91 plus player pick to replace this one is going away come back today and like we mentioned we're talking about cover star icons maybe they do go ahead and drop a footies player SBC today Rajrego's expiring he's gonna be going away maybe they do something to replace Rajrego and they don't actually drop a cover star icon we would just have to see but definitely a player SBC definitely an objective today that's almost a staple always of a promo Friday as a part of the hype now let's talk about in packs guys and I've got a little bit of a theory today right we've had team five in packs now for the past week these guys are going away we've had a 99 rated card every single week but the problem is is EA going to put in new cards in packs today are we actually gonna see a footies team six or are they going to re-release some of these footies cards from teams one through five back in packs as a part of today and the more that I think about it and the more that I really start to try to make sense of what EA might be doing today I'm really leaning towards the fact that I think they're just gonna drop a team six guys unfortunately I would love to have these cards back in packs can you imagine 84s times 10s and having the opportunity to pack Messi and Ronaldo and Captavia and all of like the footies cards that they were re-released EA might still be putting that in their back pocket and saving it for the preseason promo that's probably gonna come after this although I wish they wouldn't be doing that here's the reason why I feel this way guys because throughout footies there's been a best-of in packs the entire time and right now that is exactly the case and as a part of this best of we have guys like Messi and Ronaldo their team of the season versions that are in packs and so far there has been no best of release that has overlapped with footies cards that have been in packs as well when Messi and Ronaldo were in team two for Messi and team one for Ronaldo of footies earlier on in the promo they were both not in the best of release they didn't have a single card that was in packs their gold card was in packs apart from when the footies was not for those each weeks they were not in packs as a footies if that makes sense so the fact that they are in the best of this week to me makes me think that EA is gonna actually end up releasing a team six instead of releasing the same cards from teams one through five or a least a set of couple those footies from previously released weeks back into packs I think it's gonna be new cards today guys and this is one that I think might be getting a 99 this is one that I've noticed the gold Lewandowski is in packs right now he is not in best of batch three you may have packed Lewandowski this week but it was from a 90-plus player pick which is not batch three specific that is a completely different pool of players that is pulling from right now I don't know if you guys have opened 8410s and got gold Lewandowski gold Lewandowski is packs and that's one of the is in packs and that's one of the only big time cards that I can think of right now that does not have a special card so either EA is gonna break their rule today and release a card as a footies that is gonna have a card that's in best of already and somehow break the rule and pull that one out of the best of batch or they're gonna go with cards that have gold items in packs right now some people were shouting de bala has his gold card you know maybe a gundewan transfer or something like that like they've there's potential they could give a lot of great footies cards out for sure but that's why I'm kind of hoping or not hoping but that's why I'm guessing it's gonna be a team six today instead of a re-release because there's been no overlap so far this year now also for heroes right we've had a lot of great heroes that have been released right we've got some going out of packs today like the Gnola that everybody's been chasing that have been amazing think about some other heroes that we haven't had special cards for yet during footies Rudy Valar we haven't had a footies for him yet we have nothing for Cordoba for Peter Crouch small the wreck led the king there could be a number of heroes released in packs today along with regular footies cards that could make up a team six and it could be pretty hype right I feel like in 90 on lemondoski maybe there's somebody else that we're missing out there but they're gonna have to be some big-time heroes in packs today as a part of team six if that's throughout they're going to try to keep up the hype so let me know what you guys think down in the comments about that because that's gonna be one of the biggest motivating factors I mean I'm sure a lot of you guys have started to feel the same way the grind for the 84 times 10 85 times 10 it is nice but man it does get a little bit old packing team of the seasons as the walk out almost every single time and chasing after the same for these cards and today hopefully give this an opportunity to chase after some new footies cards and packs some great items that we will be able to try to craft and open packs to get other SBCs done to try to pack other previous footies through the 90 plus player pick or some other form of that refreshing today but with new cards coming into packs today that is gonna freshen up that grind a little bit because man you know I mean it's been nice chasing Rashford Gnola and all those guys but like something new and something to refresh that would help the menu grind a little bit at least for me on this game as well so one last little thing we've been talking about the cover star icons all week if we're not getting to see us as an SBC today which is an assumption it's not a guarantee and if we're not getting the taste today which is a guarantee that leaves the door wide open once again for a non-leaked cover star icon to still get a card today we're talking about a rude hullet potentially we're talking about a team of the year icon of Beckham that maybe is going to get a new cover star card today yes of course that brings out the potential for R9 as well there's no official leaks guys but hey if they're gonna be releasing a cover star icon today and it's not a casias as an SBC which we would expect it or hope that it wouldn't be that those big names are back on the table once again there's no leaks as of right now there's probably going to be some more information as we get closer to the content drop today so be watching out for that but really what I'm hoping for in the most today is that EA maximizes the footies cards that are impacts and the best of batch three that is there you know not that those are going to be like up in value in terms of the pack weight or anything like that but I hope they give us just a better SBC other than 90 plus a one-squad player pick maybe it's still a 90 plus but one squad make it a cheaper would make our lives a lot easier and we would just be able to stack a bunch of these and try our best to hit the biggest and best shape shifter tots and footies cars to end out this promo so that's kind of the video for me today guys let me know down in the comments what you think what you're expecting what you're hoping for today I have high hopes of a big cover star icon I have high hopes of good cards being impacts but we would just have to see how much EA want to deliver in this late stage of August on this game if you enjoyed the video today guys drop a thumbs up on a comment below if you have any questions and of course subscribe if you're new it's been native account I'll see you guys in the screen today peace out


In terms of lessons learned, what we found is that because we started with high school, we had teachers that had very strong history backgrounds. Their college degrees were in history programs, maybe social studies, but still they had a lot of history classes. As we've gone down to our elementary, we have teachers with elementary ed degrees, and many universities don't require any history classes as part of an elementary ed degree. And so while they're, you know, super interested and excited and ready to work, they just don't have that university background in history. So we back up a little and give them some practice in historical thinking, which really works with the mystery object, because all those questions are the historical thinking process. And so we've learned to kind of take the teachers where they're at and customize our interactions with them to the level they're at. So I think that really has helped us in terms of being very grade specific. A lot of grants are multi-grade, but because we've focused down on a single grade at a time, we've been able to really customize the information we're giving them to the level that they might have already had instruction in. And elementary and middle school teachers like to have stuff. They always use things they, you know, every teacher I know has used their own money to buy things to bring into their classroom. High school teachers too, but with the high school teachers, we have more of an opportunity to use documents. And sometimes it's easier to use documents. It's certainly less expensive to make facsimiles of documents than it is to go out and find objects. But we also assume that the high school teachers will be able to make a different use of objects than elementary and middle school teachers do, including sending their students out into the field on their own. I mean, students, if they're not doing a field trip, per se, sometimes they can do internships, they do special projects, classroom projects. I've worked with high school students doing history projects before, and I know that they are capable of some very high-level thinking involving primary sources. So we've been experimenting with this over the years. Everybody loves objects, everybody. We take the high school teachers get to go behind the scenes at the museum and see what we do with collections and begin to understand how important material culture is to understanding history. So again, it's one of those things that they might not be able to have in their classroom, but it gives the teachers a greater depth of knowledge of the history that they're teaching when they get to see it in three dimensions.


So today I bring you my top 5 assault rifles, now I will be honest, this was hard as in my opinion assault rifles are outdone by a vast number of SMGs resulting in 95% of assault rifles being banked and forgot about, but today I bring you 5 which are definitely worth your time in checking out. How's it going guys my name is DPJ and today I bring you another BR3 video, if you do enjoy leaving a like it really helps out and subscribe if you want to see more, on screen now I can see my weekly giveaway along with last week's winner, to be in with a chance of winning this yourself follow the instructions on screen now I'm good luck. Now as per usual people this is just my opinion, if yours differs and would like to think it would let me know your top 5 assault rifles in the game down below in that comment section, if there's one out there you think is a must try which I haven't mentioned do for sure let me know what that is. Ok so let's get into it people. In at number 5 we have the Star Helix. The Star Helix is a truly unique assault rifle. The stars are better off without us. This is a reference to the TV show The Expanse, seriously underrated show I may add. Now what's unique about this weapon is the way it shoots. The Star Helix fires 2 additional projectiles per shot that will meet the centre projectile at a certain distance. This can be for those smaller targets a little tricky to land off 3 shots on but those larger targets are much much easier to hit. And because of its 3 projectiles it means this thing is capable of some decent damage. The Star Helix is a world drop but it has an increased drop chance from the power troopers located on Atlas HQ on Prometheus. It can drop offering cryo radiation and shock or no element at all. But yeah guys it's a very very capable weapon, definitely shoot to certain builds over others in my opinion but it is one I do insist to at least try out because I do think it made you a surprise. Ok so let's move on. And in at number 4 we have the Shreddy Fire or the engulfing Shreddy Fire. The Shreddy Fire is a weapon I do feel people have forgotten about. It's got one of the biggest clips in the game I believe up to 110. Shreddy drops in every element the game offers or none and it utterly shreds within the right build. Now this Vlad of Fersault Rifle has 2 firing modes per weapon, Rifle and Double Chaingun or Rifle and Shotgun. Double Chaingun sees a weapon shoot from 2 different bowels at the same time and what this does indeed do is give this weapon I believe about a 25% increased fire rate. Now this is a world drop but its dedicated burst drop is the rage in Titan within the slaughter shaft. Which I've run about a thousand times and have only seen him drop it about 2 times so its quite rare. Now the engulfing Shreddy Fire is capable DPS is up there with the best assault rifles in the game but it is ammo heavy. You see yourself burning through it quite quickly. Now a few extended mad perks will help and you can get this thing closer to 200 in its clip but it still burns through the ammo. It's a weapon that drops after an all elemental effect so keep that in mind if you're looking for a decent assault rifle that shreds your in particular build. This may be just a Vlad but all in all it's a great weapon one I do feel a lot of people have forgotten about or just overlooked. Ok so moving on and in at number 3 we have the Lucian's Coole. The Lucian's Coole is a weapon which is very very popular and that's because of its party trick. Critical Hitch return 2 bullets back to the magazine and ricochets 2 bullets at the nearest enemy. Now on paper this isn't that powerful looking at it you're thinking well this don't look that great but using it on that battlefield it does some serious serious damage. Against mobs of enemies constantly getting your ammo back this thing gets to work. There is the Roland's Coole which also shares this thing's party trick. It's just that weapon is very very limited in terms of its clip size. The Lucian's Coole in my opinion is just a better weapon all around. Now every decent build I've created with Zayn like the Winter Soldier, the Scorpion, the Starship Trooper and a few others all had room for the Lucian's Coole as it adds so much to a build. Now the Lucian's Coole is an assault rifle which drops off in trial, incendiary and corrosive all equally good in their own right. It drops from my believe the loo fire within a slot of shaft as well as the Lutogram rear-rear ninkle butt but that's a rare instance for sure. But yeah people the Lucian's Coole is an amazing assault rifle, one I'm pretty certain will be in everybody's top 5. Ok so let's move on and in at number 2 we have nothing other than a Splota or a Laser Splota. Now the Splota is a weapon I refer to as a Ghostbusters gun. It's by far the most or close to the most powerful assault rifle in this game, especially paired with a dedicated build. I first saw this within the first few days of playing Borderlands 3, my power had it drop somewhere, didn't show up about it, we got into a duel and he mounted me with it before I even knew what happened. Now I'm not quite sure but it could have received a nerf somewhere down the line, I've got something in the back of my head that's telling me that but I'm not quite sure. But even still people it's still super super powerful and beholds those benefits. All I do feel this needs is perks to help bring its clip size up.  Now the Splota also while shooting that laser beam fires out additional rockets, making it even more potent. Now the Splota comes with all elements so there's one out there for every build you can imagine. It drops from Celestral but I do believe it's also a world drop too. Now with the many different variants available in game I do feel this assault rifle could indeed be up there with the best weapons in the game build wise. And I mean that in a way there's a version for every build like I mentioned earlier. So people, the Splota is a beast, a great weapon I do recommend you seek out if you haven't had this already. Ok so we're going to move on and people, in my opinion, the best assault rifle in this game right now is nothing other than the Dick Tato. Now this might come as a surprise to some and I guarantee some won't even put this in their top 5 but for me, main in zane, this thing just works wonders. And it's an assault rifle I've had in use since the start, I've always carried at least one variant within my inventory. Now the weapon itself can come in 2 variants, other 3 times and a 6 times. The 6 times consumes 2 ammo per shot but it does at least double the damage. So that's something to think about. Now this weapon does have 2 firing modes, it has rifle and bipod. Now rifle is the standard of shooting pellets that spread, 3 or 6 but within that bipod mode you additionally double those pellets and I think you actually gain a couple more too. Not consuming any more ammo though but within that bipod mode you can't run or jump until you switch weapons or change the firing mode back to rifle. Now within that bipod mode, rocking the 6 times variant the damage is utterly crazy. As you can see on the screen now the difference between the 3 times and the 6 times under testing. Dummy. In reality damage wise the EPS yes, the 6 times variant is much higher but the 3 times variant offers a much longer lasting magazine, just at a cost of a little damage. Both variants are amazing though, adding extra clip sizes via perks is an easy thing to do also which would make this even better, especially that 6 times. Now the dictator is a world drop but it's dedicated bus drop is agonised on 9000 and terror. It also drops off in all elements, each amazing and like the sploder I do think this is a weapon that will fit a variety of builds. So yeah guys, my number one pick for assault rifles in Borderlands 3 at the moment is nothing other than the Dick Tater, a true monster. One I think many people still to this day do indeed overlook. And that is that guys, my top 5 assault rifles within the game. Let me know yours down below in that comment section.

Hello everyone, I once again welcome you all to MSB lecture series on interpretive spectroscopy. I hope you are all doing very well, if so let me continue from where I had stopped about discussing on infrared spectroscopy. In my previous lectures I was telling about how the stretching frequency of a diet molecule or of a bond can be related to its reduced mass and also the stretching force constant. The simplest equation one can think of is nu bar equals 130.3 into square root of F over mu and in some equations for stretching force constant K is also used as an abbreviation. It does not matter whether F or K you should remember this refers to stretching force constant and here F is stretching force constant and mu is the reduced mass and reduced mass can be easily calculated by taking ratio of M1 into M2 divided by M1 plus M2 and this equation is the simplest one and when you are using this equation what you should remember is a reduced mass is given in atomic mass unit and then force constant is given in newtons per meter and frequency in centimeter minus you should remember that one apart from this simple equation nu bar equals 130.3 into square root of F over mu. We have couple of more equations one is I have shown here of course this is from this one both the equations are derived here nu bar equals 1 over 2 pi c into square root of F by mu and if you simplify this one it leads to mu bar equals 4.12 into square root of F over mu and only thing is little bit variation will be there as far as the units of force constant are concerned. Let me tell you how this is derived and that is simplified into this equation here. The Hooke's law expression can be simply transferred into a very useful and simple or simplified equation in this manner. We know that nu bar equals 1 over 2 pi c into square root of k by mu this comes again by nu equals 1 by 2 pi into square root of so but nu equals nu bar by c. So therefore what we do is we are simply putting this value here and then this is what we get here. So then nu equals m 1 m 2 over m 1 plus m 2 is the reduced mass and nu bar is frequency in centimeter minus 1 and c velocity of light 3 into 10 raise to 10 centimeter per second and k is force constant in dines per centimeter. So that means in this one the force constant is given in dines per centimeter but in the simplified one where I showed it is 130.3 into square root of F over mu where we are considering force constant in terms of nu times per meter that conversion factor has to be added here if you want to use this equation and again mu equals m 1 m 2 and then we are also adding to denominator Avogadro number and then this will give masses of atoms in a mu and then if we simplify further by adding Avogadro number from the denominator of reduced mass expression and taking the square root we obtained this simplified equation here and then if we apply here add the constant such as pi 22 by 7 and c 3 into 10 raise to 10 it would simplify to this format here. So 4.12 into square root of k by u here as I mentioned force constant is represented by a dines per centimeter and then one dine is approximately 1.02 into 10 raise to minus 3 grams. So this equation may be used to calculate approximate position of a band in the infrared spectrum by assuming that k for single double and triple bond is 5 10 or 15 into 10 raise to 5 dines per centimeter. So that means for single bond you consider 5 into 10 raise to 5 and double bond consider 10 into 10 raise to 5 and then triple bond it is 15 into 10 raise to 5 or if it is 500 if it is 500 is given value it should be 500 into 10 raise to 3 it becomes. So we can simplify in this fashion. So if we know this conversion and if you know how to convert stretching force constant to dines per centimeter we can use it otherwise simply we can use the previous one what I showed is a much simplified equation. So let us try this method here for some simple molecules for example where we have C C double bond and C C double bond is there you can consider here 10 into 10 to 5 dines per centimeter or the value is also given here C double bond C 600 stretching force constant is 960 that means 960 into 10 raise to 5 you can take then if we apply here of course this can be calculated here we get 6 here C double bond C this is what I have shown here in that table here and we can verify all the data to see authenticity of all the three equations and now by calculating by putting mu equals 6 and 10 for stretching force constant value comes around 1682 centimeter minus 1 but if we use this one 9.60 it comes exactly 1648 very close to this experimental value and of course here as I mentioned when the values are given in newtons per meter so multiply this value into 10 raise to 3 and if it is 21 if you consider then it will be 21 into 10 raise to 5 and you can verify all these things since we know the equation now three equations are there you can just practice since all the data is there first you consider this as unknown entity there is no point in considering this as unknown entity because reducer mask can be easily calculated either you consider this as unknown entity or this one as unknown entity and you can verify from three equations to make yourself familiar in looking into the relationship between the stretching force constant and stretching frequency that data obtained from a spectroscopy so let me take now another example CH bond here and of course CH bond if you consider carbon atomic weight is 12 and hydrogen is 1 and if you put here what you get is 0.923 for CH and of course here it is the same value I have listed here and then if you apply simply this equation here what you get is calculated one will be 3032 centimeter minus one and but the experimental one is 3000 centimeter minus one so that means this is the one calculated from this equation how about considering CD instead of CH and then we have to take the exact value here and then this also 10 raise to 5 here single bond we are considering and then what we get here is 22 28 2228 centimeter minus one this is a calculated value we are getting and then here it is 22 0 6 experimental value of course if you take the exact value it is very easy to achieve the experimental value here exact D atomic weight if you consider carbon then the reducer mass would vary little bit so that we can get the experimental value here so now with this information let us try to solve some problems so here is a question calculate the force constant of the P double bond O group in POCl3 oxy phosphorous trichloride the strong infrared absorption band of the PO stretching vibration is observed at 1290 centimeter minus one so now let us look into the simplest one this one is 130.3 into square root of so here of course when we consider P atomic weight will be 31 and oxygen it is 16 so mu is P into O over P plus O atomic weights this is 31 into 16 over 31 plus 16 this comes around 10.55 we can calculate so this is the value we get and here mu is given here we have to calculate the stretching force constant so 1290 equals 130.3 k is the unknown entity and here 10.55 and then to obtain this one what we can do is we can square entire stuff so that we can remove the square root this one we can do by simply square we get this one by simplifying this we can get k rf we can 1.05 Newton per meter so this is how we can get the value here and of course one should also know one atomic mass unit equals 1.67377 into 10 raise to minus 27 kg so this also this one we should use if we want to use the next equation here we can do from this equation also for example we can take this equation here let us consider this equation now mu equals 1 by 2 pi c square root of k rf either of one we can consider and then mu equals we know now we have already calculated and now mu square if you do it this 1 over 2 pi c whole square into k by mu so k becomes now if we add all the value here in this one what we should do is this reduced mass they should be converted into grams so if you multiply this one by 1.67377 into 10 raise to minus 27 this we should do it and after simplifying here what we get is if you add all the values here one can get 1044.91 Newton's per meter so this is how you can get it of course here you can add all the everything is known except for stretching force constant you can calculate using this method so little difference comes that's okay that is all over and I would stay stick to this method this is rather easy I use both either f or k this is much simpler I have to remember and also to perform the calculation so now another example is there calculate the force constant of CO which shows a strong absorption at 2147 centimeter minus 1 so here one can also do the calculation by considering the previous one whatever I am considering here this equation to just to make you familiar with all the methods so CO mu equals m1 m2 over m1 plus m2 and whatever the value it comes that should be multiplied by this is 6.857 atomic mass unit it comes and this should be multiplied by 1.672377 into 10 raise 27 then it will be giving the value kg's so here force constant we have to calculate as we did earlier if you put all the value here so you can find out the stretching force constant easily this comes around 1707.1 Newton's per meter you can put here of course 22 by 7 3 10 raise to 10 to this value 6.857 10 raise to minus 27 so this will give you value shown here so this how you can use either this method or you can also go starting from a simple method such as 130.3 square root of as I said k or f both will tell you force constant you should not very much about this one as I said some books refers to k for force constant and some books refers here for force constant. Now let us look into one more example here if the force constant of HCL is 521 Newton's per meter calculates absorption frequency in centimeter minus 1 absorption frequency will be way number so on atomic mass unit I have given here 1.67377 10 raise to minus 27 kg so this is needed if you want to use this equation here you have to convert that one if you want to use this one if you want to use other equation there is no need you can apply directly the values in Newton's per meter. So now let us consider here 130.3 by 21 reduced mass is going to be 0.9801 if we take here HCL H if I consider 1.008 into this one is 35.453 and then 1.008 you can get directly here value or you can make it square so that we can remove the square root or if you want to use the other equation this equation what we should do is we should multiply this value obtained in atomic mass unit into 1.67377 10 raise to minus 27 and then we have to use this value in this one for mu here once when we do that one we can get the approximately 2990 centimeter minus 1 you can verify that one you can use both the methods and you should be able to get the correct value here. So now you can see in this table I have given as I mentioned three methods are given this is very convenient this is also convenient provided you convert reduced mass after calculating or multiply this by 1.67377 into 10 raise to minus 27 your job is done or you can use directly here only thing is in this one if you want to use mu bar equals 4.122 square root of f by mu what you should do is you should multiply force convert force constant from Newton's per meter to dine's per centimeter for that one you have to multiply by 10 raise to 3 if it is 2 digit number or if it is 4 digit number it should be multiplied by 10 raise to 3 if it is 2 digit number it should be multiplied by 10 raise to 5 for example you take here you can multiply this one by 10 raise to 3 and you can do it. We can do now for a simple one OH let us calculate mu 700 we have so from this one it is 130.3 square root of here f is given 700 by 0.94 so here if you multiply this one simply 27.288 it gives and then this will give you 3555.7 centimeter minus 1. So what we are getting is here 3600 what we are getting is 3555 centimeter minus 1 this looks fine and now let us look into other method if you use this method here we can use it what we should do is we can simplify this the value simplified this one is 3.5559 into 10 raise to 22 after considering square root and then square root of 700 over 0.94 into 1.67377 into 10 raise to 22 and then 10 raise to minus 27 looks like a little bit more complicated but nevertheless it is simple arithmetic we are performing here and this would give you 125.1194 into 10 raise to 5 and then this will be very close to 3537 centimeter minus 1. So this how we can do the calculation here let us look into C C bond here C C bond using this one and 30.3 square root of C C bond we are considering 425 by reduced mass is 6 so this will give you 130.3 into the product is 8.41625 and then multiplication will give you 1096.6 centimeter minus 1. So what we have is 1100 so we have experiment this is calculated and experimental is 1100 like this we can verify for all. So just make yourself familiar by considering either force constant or stretching frequency as unknown entities and use all the three equations to understand these things so that you will not do any mistakes while calculating what you should remember is in this equation nothing you have to do simply you have to consider force constant is Newton's per meter whereas here you have to consider again Newton's per meter no problem but reduced mass after getting it should be multiplied by 1.67377 into 10 raise to minus 27 to convert that into kg in the other equation where we are using 4.12 into square root of F by mu so F you multiply that one into 10 raise to 3 or 10 raise to 5 to make it dines per centimeter. So let me come up with more examples in my next lecture until then have a good time. Thank you.


Hi there, my name is Chris Clay, I'm a 1976 graduate and still walking, still working actually in a lovely place in Tennessee. And I'm going to talk to you about some of the history of profusion that I experienced, and hopefully relate those experiences to the present, because I'm one of the living representatives of the past. I'm not filming this, are you? Oh yeah. Anyway, when I started, there were no safety devices, no alarms, no pressure monitoring, no ACTs, and no level sensors, none of that sort of stuff. So anyway, there was a three oxygenators. One was a hard shell called the Bentley Tentral and there were two bag oxygenators that looked like somebody had taken raincoat material and heat welded it with stainless steel sponges in it, and an aquarium that you could have bought at Woolworth's. I mean, seriously, we were dealing with aquarium air stones that cost $1.98. And so those were our three choices. The Bentley Tentral was so fragile because they didn't have the plasticizers right that if you hit it the wrong way with a clamp it would shatter like glass. I mean, it was just, you could break it with your hands. So that was a little scary. But anyway, I do remember one time the travel bag had a cuff above the air stone so that you could change the diameter of the oxygenating column. So you pumped up this cuff with a blood pressure thing, and the cuff would compress the oxygenating tube and make it bigger or smaller so you could increase the dwell time. So the blood would stay with the bubbles longer. Well, one time I was using that cuff and my cuff had a leak and I happened to be chewing some bubble gum. And so I took the bubble gum and plucked it on the outside of the cuff and pumped it up. And it looked great for about 30 seconds and then the bubble gum blew a bubble and popped and that was the end of that patch. So, we did a lot of that sort of stuff. I mean, talking about all these early days things, I mean I had an ant in the reservoir of my oxygenator once it was a sterile ant, but nevertheless when I primed it there was this black thing that was stuck in the plastic and it sort of floated up and I thought, what is that? Another time I had a piece of a stick that was also floating around because they used to glue the connectors onto these hard shell oxygenators. They weren't able to make injection molds that complicated. So literally they had people that they would pay to dip glue and stuff these things on so the arterial and the venus and the whatever. One day it takes us out all eight rooms were priming at the same time and we had a lot where the glue hadn't been put in. So we dumped the prime in and everybody's connections fell out and all the prime ran on the floor and there'd be ran in the middle and everybody was like, what? You know. So anyway, you have to imagine that kind of a life. We really, we really had it a little bit different. Oh, and by the way, Deb, my first yearly salary was 9,900. And Diane Clark was sent by Charlie Reed to give us a lecture and tell us, she told us with a straight face, do not take a job for less than $10,000 a year. And so we all sat there and okay, okay, I never let her forget that for 40 years I said, yeah, remember what you hired me at? 9,000. Anyway, but a serious moment. In 1979, you can look this up. It's an article that's easy to find. There was a 1979 survey done by a Dr. William Stoney, STO NEY. At that time he found that only 63% of the respondents used ACT. That means there's 37% of the people were just pumping and going. Yeah, winging it. And only 43% use level detectors. Not surprisingly, there were quite a few serious incidents, air embolism, clotting. I had a circuit clot completely on me. I was doing a tube, intermittently shaking it and sticking it in my underwear and shaking it, stopping timing it, you know, and I found out that my blood activated recalcification time was 164. And by that time, I heard this dreaded noise of the roller pump trying to pump clot. And that was the end of that. And even an open heart patient, it was a resuscitation effort. So there was massive blood loss.  And, you know, that's a situation that it took me three or four cases to realize that I had to compensate for the massive loss of heparin. Okay, you're thinking about the blood, the blood's all over and you see it, but you don't always necessarily think about losing your heparin at the same time. It's extremely important because as Jim said, our heparin is really not good quality. So if you experience a severe blood loss case, think about maybe grabbing your cell saver sucker and hooking it up and running at it flush. So in addition to the rate of one serious air embolism for 1000 cases, there were also nonpatient injury incidents in every three cases, every three cases there were some sort of ant in the reservoir stick, you know, whatever happened. I had one of those, I had one of those nonpatient injury episodes once I was sitting on a science heater cooler which you can Google it was a heater cooler that had a large, I don't know, basin part of it where you dump ice and it was a nice, it was a nice height for sitting on top of and watching students do this. So I was lounging because I had an advanced student and I was sitting on there, you know, watching her do this case and all of a sudden I had this kind of funny pinging coming from the heater cooler was like pinging pinging pinging weird noise. I started smelling hot wiring and I thought, well, this isn't very good. And then it really got loud and the electrical smell got really bad. And the heart long machine started looking like a pinball machine lights were like going off and then they're going on and the pump was stopping it was a roller pump. And it just was terrible. So I jumped off the burning heater cooler. My student was an advanced student so she grabbed the hand crank because back then we had zero batteries. I mean the batteries, there were no batteries. It was a hand crank. So she was a really good student and she grabbed her hand crank and started cranking the arterial knob for dear life which was somewhat difficult because when the power was off, the pump was designed to disengage the belt and so you could crank fairly easily. It was made to crank that way but when the power came back on she was like, you know, so Dr. Cooley looked over at that moment when she was going, and he said, get an orderly in here to crank the pump.  So anyway, we finally figured that out and it was a typical problem in the early days to have very bad circuitry in the OR so we had the heater cooler and the pump plugged in the same circuit. Nowadays, I don't think any of you would even remotely think about doing that. It's one of the things you're taught. So one of the things you're immediately taught, you know, different circuits for everything. So we learned, we learned that. So these system failures taught us how to be creative. Okay, they taught us. And I think that's a hallmark of profusion as a profession and my colleagues that I know, they're the most creative people you can imagine. And they're always innovating. They're always, I can make that work. Sure. You know, just let me let me add it. I'll, I'll, I'll rig up something for you. You know, that's, I think our number one characteristic is that we're inventive and creative and we adapt and innovate. So, you know, there were a lot of really interesting things that we learned. For example, when we first started running membrane oxygenators the Cymed Colobos, we didn't have blenders. We just had these big tanks. And so we had to figure out, well, we don't have a blender what we don't want around 100% or two is too much, especially on babies. I mean we had, we had one membrane that was like a half of the little juice can it was the cutest little thing. So anyway, we learned that we could why and a room air pump head we can make a pump head and make it totally occlusive, and then why it into our oxygen tank source. And that would dilute it and then we could sit there and do the math and say okay we're at 60%, which is sometimes a little challenging because I'm not very good at math so, you know, so it was an interesting way to do it. And another thing that we learned is that a lot of the early cardioplegia sets had built in air chambers. Sarns made a cardioplegia set that had a little, you couldn't ever get the air out, it was supposed to be there and as you would pump. You can see what the pressure was even without looking at your pressure monitoring you could see by the compression of the air. You know. And so, if if I have an instance I hasn't happened in a long long time except on mission trips but if you have an instance where you don't have a pressure monitor, you can use a small air level. If the device will allow you to do that I wouldn't do that routinely but you know in an emergency or situation where you have no monitoring you can, you can tell how you're compressing your, your system.  I mean when we had no pressure, we diagnosed dissections going on bypass by holding onto the arterial line and if it got stiff you were really in trouble somebody clamped it. You had a dissection so you know that that was a good way to do it so you know you have to get creative to overcome system failures. The other thing that I would tell you is if you have to do the improvisation that we all have to do sometimes or we think we have to do to make something better. Be sure that you consider all the aspects. This when we were running those SIMED membranes, we didn't get the result we wanted in terms of oxygenation so we called up Dr. Colobo. I mean who better to tell us how to run his membrane than the inventor so we called him up and he told us we should humidify the gases that that silicone membrane would function much better if we humidify the gases. What he didn't know is that we had an O2 filter in line between the gas source and where we're going to plug in the humidifier and there was also a safety valve on the actual bracket that held the SIMED that would pop off if there was excessive pressure. Well, so we humidified the gas everything looked like it was going great. You know Dr. Colobo was wonderful. And then I got ready to leave the hospital and I got this frantic call that the arterial lines turning black and I went running back up there. What happened is the O2 filter had got soaking wet because of the humidity and had over pressurized backwards and had popped off the safety valve and there was no gas. So we went from having some gas to having humidified gas which then ruined the whole situation. So yeah, you have to you have to consider all aspects when you're improvising something and one of my personal favorite perfusion stories had to do with the Slarnes heater cooler, which was the heater cooler that pumped 40 liters a minute. And then you could dump all kinds of ice in it.  So I had what I thought was a brilliant idea. Sometimes I am brilliant on this occasion maybe not. I had this idea that if I wide into heater coolers, I'd still stay below the pressure limit, and everything would be wonderful I'd be pumping 80 liters a minute of ice water. Okay, so I filled them all up with ice. And then Dr. Cooley came in and it took up quite a bit of room with all the wise and the tubing and everything. He's like, what is this, you know, what is this? I said, oh, you're going to be so happy. It's just going to cool like the son of a gun. It's just going to be amazing. So I turned it on and sure enough I'm watching the patient's temperature going to do an arch aneurysm so we're going to like 15 degrees. I'm watching and boy those tents of a degree are just like, it looked like Las Vegas I mean they were just rolling around it was just like bing bing bing you know so anyway so I was so happy I just thought I was the queen of perfusion.  I heard this noise. And I thought, huh. And I turned around is this and I turned around just in time to see the lid from one heater cooler geyser ring off. And like a tidal wave coming towards me is this lid and this rush of water. And it hits the floor and there's water everywhere and the other machine is totally dry and going. It's like what is going on over there. And I'm like this literally tidal wave coming at me. And I was so embarrassed I had to shut the one off of course it was totally dry but I hadn't thought about the differential in the pump owners. It was brilliant, but this sound brilliant. So anyway, there I was with you know this one dry and for a whole rest of that semi long case I'm squishing around in the or on this water. Well it was really embarrassed. So anyway, I can keep you guys entertained with stories for hours. However, the main thing I would like to convey is. When you look at your older colleagues. Talk to them. Ask them for some of these silly stories that maybe will teach you something without having to go through the pain and the wetness of learning it yourself, you know, talk to talk to the old farts while they're still around and see what they have to say to you because there are some things that translate everywhere, you know, all these things that I learned that are just physical things, common sense things. You know they're great for mission trips, which I highly advise you all to do. I mean mission trips are the most wonderful thing in the world to do you get back to the reality of what you're actually doing.  It's amazing. It's the best thing in the world. So congratulations to all of you that are going to graduate from the school it's a great place. It's, it's been amazing to be a tech Texas art graduate. I go around the room and I see people that I've known for decades and I'm really proud. I'm really proud to know all of you. So thank you very much. Thank you.


Today, I have the privilege of speaking with Jim Payne from Dynasert. How are you, Jim? I'm great. You're yourself, Tracy.  You've been so incredibly busy, so thank you for squeezing us in, Jim. It's great to see you. Tracy, it's always a pleasure. Well, let's start with congratulations. Your most recent news was about basically taking Dynasert's technology and deploying it into the freight tech industry. That sounds pretty incredible to me. Can you tell us what this means? Absolutely. I mean, freight tech is a perfect fit with what we do. I know that we had talked about the hydrolytica before, and I used to say the hydrolytica was like a freight management system on steroids. Well, we've taken that to a whole new level. One thing we've certainly come to realize, I mean, freight tech is such an important part of today and tomorrow's way in the trucking industry. And with that, now with our technology, we cannot just not only just track the truck and track the fuel efficiencies and the reductions and emissions, but we can also go through a whole range of things, everything from the maintenance of a vehicle. We can clearly show the drivers or the end users when the truck should be at certain maintenance levels. As far as driving habits, we can show driving habits and where and how they can improve their driving habits. We can also show them truck routes, more improved truck routes to get to and from where they can certainly save times and save fuel and save way more efficient. Accident reports. It was very interesting. Not long ago, we've actually got a large fleet here in Canada that's using our technology. One of their trucks was in an accident. There was a lot of discussion of how this happened. And then all of a sudden they said, well, wait a minute, we've got a hydrogen unit on there with the hydrolytica. They reached out to us and we could show them exactly where the accident happened, and we could actually show the exact time the driver applied the brakes and it just happened that in this one particular incident, the driver did not even touch the brakes until six seconds after impact. So it's information like that. I mean, there's so much information that's now readily available, but I think the most important thing is, is we've got the ability to take all this information and package it in such a way that it makes sense. The fleet managers or whoever they're having, they're not trying to sift through thousands of pieces of information to come up with the reports they need. These reports can be streamlined specifically for their needs and for their purposes. And of course, hydrolytica is working hand in hand with the hydrogen, which is your carbon emission technology. Yes? Yes. So, yes, I mean, the hydrolytica is a part of our hydrogen that we've got today. I mean, our hydrogen is a unit that through a very patented electrolysis system develops and introduces trace amounts or measured amounts of hydrogen and oxygen to the internal combustion engine to enhance the burn. By doing that, we improve the fuel economy on an average 10 to 15%, but more importantly is the reduction in emissions clear across the board. You know, we're reducing the emissions by north of 50%. It was interesting just today, actually an article came out in CVC where they're saying nitrogen oxide is more harmful to the climate than the CO2 increasing the atmosphere. Studies say, and they say, you know, if we don't curve this by 2100, you know, the temperature is going to raise by another three degrees Celsius. Well, it just happens that we reduce the nitrogen oxide or the NOx, you know, from a diesel engine. You know, this is not a filtration system. You know, our unit is a unit that I think the important thing to understand, we've got a unit today. We've got a unit right now that can be applied to diesel engines. Certainly, our target market has been large transport trucks and from there going larger to power generation, shipping, rail, mining. But now we're doing a real good job starting to penetrate the municipal arenas within bussing and garbage trucks. Things like that.  I mean, this is a major. Well, I'll tell you, Jim, I know you have a lot of diehard fans and shareholders, but for those out there that may be new to Dinosert and of course are interested in the clean tech sector, would you mind just giving them a quick, you know, overview on the competitive advantages on why you need to have Dinosert in your portfolio to sleep better at night? Absolutely. I don't think that personally, I don't think there's a better company out there today, you know, to fit in ESG and the climate change and the green movement, you know, than what we've got.  I mean, there's over a billion diesel engines in the world today.  It improves the fuel economy. So the most important thing is that it pays for itself to the end user. Like the end user, you know, this is not something that they're putting on just to make them feel good. The reality is they're putting this on. It's it's improving their fuel economy. So it pays for itself in the reduction in the fuel, but it's reducing the emissions so significantly, right? Clean across the board on a continual basis. I mean, this is a product that I like to say we're a Canadian company with a global solution to reduce pollution. You know, we have now taken this company globally. We have just recently received the highest rating from the United Nations Sustainable Smart Cities. We're actually one of the first companies, first Canadian companies to ever have a product, you know, get that. And it is now being, you know, accepted within municipalities. We've now we just announced recently, you know, the city of Woodstock, you know, was the first city to jump on board. We've now got, you know, a dozen cities here in Ontario that are moving forward and we've got several municipalities across Europe and that that are that are moving forward through this. I think it's a it's a great opportunity. I think it's a great thing for the end user. I think it's a great thing for, you know, us as Canadians being a Canadian company. I think it's a great thing for our environment and our atmosphere. And of course, our majority audience is American. So this is a clean tech company that we definitely have been following for some time. You hit on some of your most recent news release highlights. But I noticed you had a purchase order to complement COVID-19 safety package for trucking industry. That looked interesting to me. Do you want to add anything on that matter? Absolutely. I mean, this this is with a company here in Canada.  But so they looked at our technology, they had tested our technology and put it on their entire fleet. Now they are marketing our product across North America too, because it was a perfect fit for them with what they're doing.  Well, we have you here. Can you please tell us what we should anticipate this fall? Because, you know, you are constantly hitting milestones one after another.  We are now back in full production.  Like I talked about Woodstock, I mean, you know, certainly, you know, within the next week or 10 days there's going to be news and there'll be some news media going on with that because the mayor there in Woodstock, Mayor Trevor Birch, is a huge believer in our product. And but I do believe, you know, you'll see, you know, a lot of larger companies here in North America with our technology. The reality is right now we've got a lot of large companies that have ran pilot projects. And then everything was held off because of COVID. They're coming forward now and putting orders in and I feel very confident we're going to see a lot of news concerning this. And, you know, with that, I know that some of these companies are going to come forward and start talking about it because right now we are under NDAs with them, you know, until they choose to talk about it, our hands are tied.  And I think as that unfolds, I really believe that, you know, the marketplace is going to really understand, you know, the true value of our company and the technology that we offer today. Well, Jim, I can understand why everyone wants to talk to you. Thank you so much for giving us an update on Donisert, the latest on Hydrolytica, and of course an update on Hydrogen. I'm assuming with all of the deliveries to all of us at home, this is the freight and trucking and logistics industry is definitely a place where you're going to fare well this next year. Absolutely. Thank you. Thank you, Tracy.


The freedom to marry is poised to take center stage at the Democratic National Convention in September. We'll take a look at exactly what the Democratic Party is proposing. With four states facing major showdowns over marriage this November, advocates are already looking ahead to 2013. And what's next after a setback for marriage in Hawaii? At the American Foundation for Equal Rights, I'm Matt Baume. Welcome to Marriage News Watch for August 13th, 2012. It's really happening. The Democratic National Committee is ready to add marriage equality to the official party platform. This is a huge deal, but it's not done yet. First it has to make its way through the platform committee in Detroit, which met this past weekend, and then it gets a vote at the Charlotte Convention when the party meets to formally nominate Obama starting September 4th. You can expect marriage to be a major topic of discussion at the Democratic National Convention. The draft language of the plank says, in part, we support marriage equality and support the movement to secure equal treatment under the law for same-sex couples. While affirming religious freedom, it goes on, we oppose discriminatory federal and state constitutional amendments, and we support the full repeal of the so-called Defense of Marriage Act. This move by the Democratic Party reflects a national mainstreaming for marriage equality. This is no longer a divisive wedge issue for Democrats. Over a dozen national polls show that a majority of Americans support the freedom to marry. Our growing support will have its next major test in November when Maine, Minnesota, Washington, and Maryland will all put marriage equality up to a vote. If you live in those states, now is the time to get involved. And if you don't, you probably know someone who does. Make sure you talk to them now about why the freedom to marry is so important. Looking ahead, Delaware might be the next state to push for marriage equality. Governor Jack Markell was a big backer of last year's successful effort to enact civil unions. This week he told reporters that he supports efforts to upgrade the state to full marriage in 2013. There was a setback in Hawaii this week with a federal judge upholding that state's ban on gay and lesbian couples getting married. Advocates for equality, including Governor Neil Abercrombie, planned to appeal the ruling to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. Earlier this year, that court ruled in Afer's case that Proposition 8 is unconstitutional. And as Afer's case continues to progress to the United States Supreme Court, the Prop 8 proponents have been dealt another setback. This time it's a proposed fine for nearly $50,000 for 18 counts of improper campaign finance reporting. Those are the headlines. Visit afer.org for more on the federal fight to overturn Prop 8. At the American Foundation for Equal Rights, I'm Matt Baume. We'll see you next week.
