Hey, welcome back to the channel. Today we're going to talk about winter in New Zealand. I just realized I've never really done a video on this and what the heck is winter like and what is there to do in New Zealand in the winter? We're going to cover it all today. Here we go. Are you moving or traveling to New Zealand? Well, I have a resource for you that is going to be so helpful. I know that journey. I have done it first hand. I've even done it twice. I understand what you're going through. It's so exciting but so daunting at the same time. You have so many questions and have no idea exactly what to do about different situations, especially if you've never even been to this country. And so this resource is something that I have created. It's called the New Zealand training hub. And what it includes is video training on how to set up life here, understanding the culture, understanding how things work here. And so it gives you like that headstart. So if you're a planner or someone that like kind of there's enough new things that it would be nice to just understand how to do things in a new country. So if you are that person, this training hub is for you. Not only does it do all of those videos, but it has a community built in. So when you join the training hub, you get access to the community of people on the same journey as you. These people could be like your best friends and they probably will because all of us have made a friend when we first moved here that we're kind of going through the same thing. And that's who we learned everything from. But they also didn't have someone like me helping them out with some video training. And in addition to that, you will have access to me every month. I'll do a live Q&A just to answer any questions that might not get answered in the training hub. You can also request additional trainings. There's really no reason to not check this out. So why does it make sense for an American to be talking about what life is like in New Zealand? Well, let me tell you why, because a New Zealander knows no different. And so it needs to be someone who has come into the culture and saying, Oh, this is different. Now, I don't know everything. I only know my own experience, but I am a really good resource to say, Hey, this is how they do this here. This is probably not how they do this in your country, or maybe it's different. And so you really need that outside person that knows the differences. So if you're moving or traveling to New Zealand, this training hub is for you. Check it out. All right, jumping right in. What are you going to do in the winter in New Zealand? Well, let's talk about the temperature first. So the temperature will range drastically depending on where you are in the North Island or the South Island. But on average, it's going to be like, I would say nine to 16 degrees Celsius as an average, it'll be colder in the South of the South Island, which is only like 51 to 63 degrees for people that live in Fahrenheit world. And so it's really not that cold. So what that means is it doesn't really keep you from doing a whole lot.  And what's really nice about the winters in New Zealand, I've said this before, but I'm going to say it again, is that randomly in the middle of winter, there'll be a beautiful sunny day. And you can like be outside all day. And it's nice and warm multiple times during winter, you'll get one of these days. And it just makes winter so bearable compared to places where it's just dark and cold for what feels like an eternity. And there's no sun so much better. You have a couple of those days, it makes winter so much more bearable. Number one, number one thing to do in New Zealand in the winter has got to be skiing or snowboarding. And you could do that in both the North and the South Island. And is it cheap? No. Is it great? Yes. Is it scary at some places? Yes. So just be aware, these are some real mountains.  But man, yeah, I'm I'm from the Midwest. And so that's probably why it looks like really big because I'm used to probably just skiing on hills. And then when you get to like the mountains and it's like, like forever, so beautiful, so beautiful to ski or snowboard whatever you like in New Zealand is stunning. I highly recommend it. I did it, took my whole family did a whole week vacation. And yep, probably not again, because it's quite expensive for that many people. But it's also not my favorite thing to do. But a lot of people love it. Certain ones of my kids are now quite addicted to skiing or snowboarding. And so it's good. It's good for everybody to have experience, to get some lessons on, to just know how to do it, right? So skiing snowboarding, if you're an avid fan, you're going to love New Zealand. The second thing I recommend that you can do is just head north. It's warmer in the north. So what we did actually one year is we got a camper van and we did a camper van trip north. Number one, it's a lot cheaper during that time of the year. Number two, there's not a lot of people doing it. So you just have access to so many things. And this was before COVID, when there was a lots of travelers and visitors to New Zealand, and it was really great to travel around. And so would I like to do the Far North Island in the summer? Yes, because I've only done it in the winter. But it was very nice. And we got to see everything. And so it's kind of like great to do and see everything. And then you kind of pick out to where you'd want to go back in the summer. But yeah, so second recommendation, just head north if you want some warmer weather. Number three, you can still go tramping in the winter here in New Zealand, especially if you're on the North Island. And the reason why I said tramping is backpacking, if you're not familiar, because they have these huts. And so you just like an they're not all rented out in the winter. And so you can at least hike and tramp when you have like a place that you can go to that you're not just having to set up like tent and freeze and like camping in the winter is very cold. But like with the huts, it makes it real reasonable and a really nice activity that you can do, you know, in the wintertime, especially like in different parts of the country, you're going to have different seasons, it's going to look different and it's going to be great. So tramping, another thing you can do in the winter. Number four, Matariki is the Maori New Year that is now a national holiday here in New Zealand. And it's like at the end of June, I believe it's June 24. And it's a national so everybody's going to get off work.  I unfortunately will be in the state. So I'm going to miss it because I know there's some great stuff going on. But this is going to be every year. So that's a festival that you can kind of plan to do something around. There's also Christmas in July. So Christmas in July is where certain small towns will kind of decorate the town with lights and it's cooler and you have hot cocoa and you have carriages that go around. And it's very cool. There's a town close to me that does, I think it's gray town. And I think Davenkirk is known for it here in New Zealand. So you can check that out. But there may be just a town. There's towns and communities and neighborhoods that will do Christmas in July because you can actually put out all your lights and you know, because it's so dark, so early. And you know, they kind of celebrate that wintery kind of feeling Christmas in July, which I love it. I haven't really wanted to go to these festivals and I haven't made it and then COVID hit and then now definitely is all canceled. And so yeah. And now I'm going to be in the States. So this is probably why I miss it every year. But yeah, so Christmas in July, that's fun too. Number five, if you are feeling really cold, you can head down to some of the hot springs area. So if you go to Hamner Springs in the South Island, it's really nice. I've been there. It's just a lot of hot pools that you can soak and relax and maybe you'll have some snow cat mountains. So that would be nice. Or you can go to Rua de Rua is another hot spring area in the North Island and do some spas and that sort of thing would be kind of fun in the winter. It's fun to, you know, be in the spas and hot tubs in the winter time. Number six, winter is also a good time for wineries. When is it not a good time for wineries?  Fantastic winter activity. You can even get some e-bikes and go e-biking and go to the different wineries and it would be fun. There's so many places you could do that all around New Zealand. So yeah, that's a fun weekend. Just plan a weekend at a winery. And number seven, last but not least, you could go whale watching. So Kaikoura is kind of a whale dolphin area and that's when the whales come in in the winter. So there's different trips around New Zealand that you can take. It might be your chance to go whale watching and then just probably pay attention. If you're interested in the New Zealand wildlife, you know, winter might be a time where certain animals are more out and more available for you to see. And so maybe pay attention to that if that's of interest to you. But yeah, whale watching, you could do that in the winter. Well, I hope you enjoyed the video today.

Hi guys, welcome back again. I want to address someone who asked me a question about new born babies in Qatar. Yes, like any other person, new born babies in Qatar must have what you call a residence permit. We have two situations. This baby may be born in Qatar by you, the mother and father. What do you do? Remember, if a baby born in Qatar is not entitled to any kathari citizens, is not entitled to citizenship, like any other countries that we may think of. However, what you need to do if the baby is born in Qatar, both of you, the parents, must have what you call a valid residence permit. And also something that you need to understand. Your salary must be able to accommodate or must be able to have up to 10,000. Because that's the only allowed salary that can make you take care of the family. That's what according to the law. You should be earning 10,000 kathariya for you to be able to take care of the baby and take care of the family. So if both of you are working, meaning that if the wife and my father earning 5,000, we have proof you will have salary certificates coming from the company, then you will be able to apply for a residence permit for that baby. But what you need to do for the baby first is that you need to register the baby's birth at what you call the woman's hospital. The only place where you can register the birth of the baby, they will give you a birth certificate. That birth certificate will take it to the embassy of your country for stamping. Then you will have to get a passport for that baby. And once you get a passport for that baby, then you will have to apply for what you call a residence permit for that baby. Hope after I share something for you. For people who are planning to have babies or people who already have babies and you don't know what to do. That's the best way that you can do. Remember, no one can stay in Qatar without a residence permit. We need to have a residence permit for you to stay in the country. It is the only way that shows that you are lawfully allowed to stay in the country. Thank you so much for coming back and thank you so much always for supporting us.


Off the bat. Did you think Aaron Hicks had any shot at that ball? Once I looked up and caught exactly where he was I thought he was tracking pretty well But obviously I knew I knew Kepler hit it pretty well, but I mean what an amazing play that to end a amazing game Fitting for a game that went the way that it went tonight with so many lead changes late in the game Yeah, I guess I mean I mean That's one of those games, you know for being late July that you know, we'll probably be talking about for a long time and I mean our guys are just really really good at competition and That was the ultimate competition out there where it was obviously tough for both teams on the mound and So many guys did some really really special things We could hear them in there as we were waiting to come in here as loud as they've been all season long What can an emotional win like this do for a team as you continue to grind through a long season? You know what they're they're they're a united group that plays with the game with a lot of confidence and You know think wins like these that come along, you know, you have these kind of special days where it's unconventional Where so many guys have a hand in it It's just one of those things that I think does help you bring bring guys together a little bit But as far as what it does for us I don't think it changes anything as far as what our expectations are and what every guy in that room expects of this of this club You mentioned the fact that several guys had a big hand in tonight's win. Didi Gurgorius a big part of it five hits Drove in seven of the runs. What led to his success in the batter's box? You know, I mean smoked every ball to Make had a walk in there, too made some almost An incredible double play to end that game It was really good to see him just barrel the ball up all over the ballpark line-to-line Right in the middle of everything obviously and a big reason why it's it's noisy in there right now What happened to Gary and how is he? Gary growing We'll continue to look at it, but possible. I L We haven't I'm all right He I'm he wall in the morning Yeah, just you know getting it down the line on another, you know, Polanco makes two amazing plays on Gary there And it just getting it down the line, you know, look like he hit the bag a little bit funny Pitching rough for for both sides tonight different issues for different guys on your side Why do you think collectively it was just a rough night? Yeah, I mean just One of those nights, you know, especially for our guys that are you know, obviously been so dominant You know, you're gonna have those over the course of 162 where you know guys hit a little bump in the road here and there and it just it was a tough night out there and But guys kept picking picking each other up and and those guys that we've leaned on so heavily Especially at the back end have picked us up time and time again this year So I mean, that's what makes it fun to be a part of this team in this group Yeah, tonight, I mean he just obviously one of those nights where You know, he loses loses the command And loses the the strike throwing, you know, and and every now and then, you know Well, he'll have that but we've also seen him This year in one of those blown saves still work his way through it in Tampa He was able to to rein it in tonight and get out of the inning and keep it tied So I like the fact that he just continued to compete continued to pitch when it was obviously really tough for him there for For the first few hitters Reading any to him or at a certain point where you're gonna have to get some yeah No, it was at that point it was him because we were down to the last two hitters regardless and I was I was going with him and I felt like I felt like he reigned it in a little bit there after those those first few hitters Yeah, got his cape off I thought I thought he came out. I thought his stuff was pretty good early I Thought they took some really good at bats against them, especially down at the bottom of the order where he couldn't finish them You know, they had some guys work some walks against them work some base hits, you know where pitches out of the strike zone You know, I I give them a lot of credit for for really Having really tough at bats against them and then I think you know by the end there I think it really starting to flatten out and I you know, I kind of You know, it's a no there, you know, just because we've had so many these last few trying to get some innings out of the starters But probably with so no there Probably should add them out of there Do you like 26 run games with a bunch of home runs or is this nerve-racking? I like them when we win them You know to to be a part of that in there right after this after so many people grinded and Battled those are fun things to be a part of but I mean these


Alright, let's talk a little bit more about the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus, and we'll start off in a strange way. Here's how to get a wrong answer when applying the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus. So here's a problem. Find the area between y equals sine x and the x-axis over the interval 0 less than or equal to x, less than or equal to 2 pi. And it's easier to take a look at the problem and think, ah, well, here I have top, I have bottom, I have left, I have right. I've completely described the integral. Let's go ahead and set down something and get the wrong answer. And so we can do that by setting down the definite integral. So again, I have my definite integral, my function sine x, x-axis, little portion of that from 0 lower limit, 2, 2 pi, upper limit. And there's my definite integral, and now I know how to apply the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus. I'll find an anti-derivative of sine of x. So how about negative cosine of x is an anti-derivative. And I can substitute that in and evaluate. So the definite integral is 0 to 2 pi sine x. Here is an anti-derivative of sine x. I'm going to evaluate it with 0, evaluate that at 2 pi. And so that's going to be cosine 2 pi minus negative cosine of 0. And I go through all the algebra and the trigonometry. And after all the dust settles, I get a final answer of 0. And I circle it and say, I'm done with the problem. Well, actually, that's kind of a strange answer. It doesn't make a lot of sense because you know there is an area between y equals sine of x and the x-axis. You've seen the function y equals sine of x. It seems a little strange that our computation gives us an area of 0. And the question you should ask at this point, what happened? Well, let's try and get the correct answer. So I'm looking for the area between y equals sine of x and the x-axis over some interval. Let's graph that region. So we know what the graph of y equals sine of x looks like. And the interval 0 to 2 pi is one complete cycle of the sine function. So the area of interest is going to look like this. So I'll graph the region. I do want to sketch some representative rectangles. And so here's a representative rectangle in here. Here's another one a little bit later on. And the thing to notice is that the representative rectangles undergo a very important change. In this first interval here, from 0 up to pi, the height of the rectangles is, well, height is always top minus bottom. So here, in this first region, the top is our sine curve. The bottom is our x-axis. So the height of the rectangle will be sine of x minus 0. So the height of our rectangles in that first region, sine x minus 0, otherwise known as just sine x. On the other hand, if I look at the second part, this interval from pi up to 2 pi, height is still top minus bottom. But in this case, the top is the x-axis. And now the bottom is our sine curve. And so the height of the representative rectangles is going to be 0 top minus sine of x. That's our bottom. And the height is going to be negative sine of x. In general, every time a boundary curve changes, you have to write a new integral. So in this first region, our boundary curves were top sine of x bottom x-axis. But in the second region, our top curve changed. It became the x-axis. Our bottom curve changed. It became the y equals sine of x graph. And our boundary curves changed, which means that we have to consider writing a new integral. So let's go ahead and write those integrals down. So let's see. I have two regions. In this region, the boundary curve is always top sine of x bottom x-axis. So let's focus on this first region. So it's this interval. And the area, again, is going to be found by looking at those representative rectangles. Height is top sine x minus bottom 0. So the height is sine x. The width is a tiny portion of the x-axis. We're going to sum those rectangles up from 0 up to x equal to pi. And so there's my first integral. Quick check. Our differential dx. Our x values 0, x equals pi. That is the correct region of integration. So that's the area of the first region. But I actually want the area of the entire interval. So let's go ahead and take a look at that second interval. And so here for this part, my height top is x-axis. Bottom is sine of x. The height is going to be 0 minus sine of x, or just negative sine of x. Our width is going to be a tiny portion of the x-axis. That's going to be dx. So the area of the rectangle minus sine of x height times dx width. And so there's our areas. We're going to sum those areas up from differential controls x equal to pi up to x equals 2 pi. And so those are our limits. And now I need the antiderivative of sine of x and the antiderivative of minus sine of x. Well, we've already figured out antiderivative of sine x is minus cosine x, antiderivative of minus sine is cosine. And we're evaluating these antiderivatives from 0 to pi, or from pi to 2 pi. And so I'll evaluate those. Again, sometimes this is the highest part of the problem, because there's a lot of arithmetic and trigonometry and algebra involved. But it's generally not too difficult. So after all the dust settles, I get an area equal to 4. And that is actually what I would expect, that the area of the region is going to be some non-zero, non-negative number.


So, what I was discussing earlier that there is a critical angle and nickel is one of the good element, possibly the best element which gives you a critical angle. This critical angle is dependent on lambda linearly, so this gives a critical angle of 6 arc minutes per angstrom. That means for a 1 angstrom neutron, it will be 6 arc minutes for a 4 angstrom neutron, for a 4 angstrom neutron, for a 4 angstrom neutron, it is 6 into 4, 24 arc minutes, this critical angle, this value theta, it will be 24 arc minutes for a 4 angstrom neutron, then it will 4. Also, as I told you that if I magnetize a nickel medium, usually it is in form of thin films, then for magnetization direction with respect to neutron spin, we will have 2 different critical angles. I stopped at this point, now I will come to neutron super mirrors. A neutron super mirror, as the name suggests that it is over much more than a mirror, thing is that we need to reflect neutrons up to a large angle, it can be theta or q whichever unit we use, how to do that? In general, we know that if I have a periodic medium, now I will straight away go into thin films. Suppose I have a thin film which has got a coating of A layer and the coating of B layer. So, this bi layer, I keep coating which has got some D spacing of D, which is equal to DA plus DB. Now, we know that for a given D spacing in crystallography, 2D sine theta equal to lambda and you have got a bright peak. Same thing can be said for this, you can say artificial crystal that you have created with A and B, artificial crystal, but this is exactly same using the same logic, we can say that if this D spacing is fixed that means what I need to do actually, I need to take a substrate on which I keep on piling up this media A and B, typically thickness about 50 to 100 angstrom of each layer. If I do that, then apart from the reflectivity curve, I should also get a bright peak at some point which is twice pi, sorry, twice pi by D dictates at which Q I will have a bright peak. Now, this is the story for a single periodicity that means I make stacks with 1D. Now, the next step is that I keep making stacks, but I keep changing the thickness continuously, that means D keeps varying, D is varying now. So, I continuously keep changing this D value, if I do that I can define this thin film stack as consisting of several D spacing and then it will have broad peaks at all these D values. So, now the critical angle, now the critical angle, I had a critical angle up to which it was one and then it was falling, but now the way I plan this D spacing that it is taken over by the bright peaks for various D spacing. So, by this technique I can extend this critical angle if it was a Theta C to a large value and this is how Theta C for super mirrors are much higher than the Theta C for a single angle. That means best example is nickel titanium mirrors. Reason being we know that the reflection takes place whenever there is a refractive index contrast. Titanium has got a negative scattering length. This is a question mark, I leave it with a question mark now, just accept the fact that few elements have got negative scattering length and then n is greater than 1. Nickel has got a positive scattering length so n is less than 1. So, a layer of nickel and another layer of titanium, they have excellent contrast because excellent difference in refractive index between the two media and there will be strong reflection and then the next step is to design a super mirror with a variable D spacing and I can get a super mirror which can reflect up to a very large angle and that means I can reflect neutrons up to a critical angle which is large compared to a single element. For a single element as I showed you earlier that it is around 6 angstrom, 6 arc minutes per angstrom for nickel, in this case this goes much larger and usual comparison is with respect to nickel always. So, if I say I have got a super mirror which has got which is m equal to 2, which has got m equal to 2, m equal to 2 then m equal to 2 super mirror will have critical angle which is 12 arc minutes per angstrom for neutrons. Similarly, m equal to 4 will have 24 arc minutes, arc minutes per angstrom for neutrons and this is not an indefinite game because you also have to think that neutrons are penetrating in a medium and getting reflected from each and every interface and how thick you can make the medium till the absorption starts taking over, but this is possible and that is how neutrons super mirrors are made. So, we have been talking about neutrons super mirrors and super mirrors are actually bilayer stacks. If I have a bilayer stack with a single periodicity then it is like one dimensional crystal which has whose periodicity dictates where will be the Bragg peak. Similarly, for the mirror if I have a single periodicity then I will have a Bragg peak at some q value, q value or at some theta value I will have a Bragg peak. Now, this Bragg peak is not an atomic Bragg peak, but by the same principle it is a it is like a virtual one dimensional crystal which gives a Bragg peak depending on its d spacing which I told you in case of nickel titanium it will be d nickel plus d titanium titanium and this is this Bragg peak position is dictated by twice pi by d for this particular single periodic step, but now the clever manipulation is that in case of neutrons super mirror we vary the d value in our thin film mirror. So, this is truly like a mirror and actually look at it it will look like a daily mirror which is we are familiar, but this is of course at a much lower angle and with a much higher precision this needs to be made the d is a variable now d is a variable for a super mirror. When d is a variable in that case the as I told you that I can have the Bragg peaks overlapping with each other because d is varying continuously and this can push the critical angle to an outer outer means to a higher angles theta and then it will fall. So, this critical angle is a critical angle for the super mirror for the super mirror. So, this can be compared with the critical angle of a single film and usually in case of in the field of neutron super mirror it is compared with nickel. I am repeating again nickel has got 6 arc minutes per angstrom of neutron wavelength that means a 4 angstrom neutron will have a critical angle of 24 arc minutes and when I talk about super mirrors and m equal to 2 super mirror will have twice this value. So, it will have 12 arc minutes per angstrom at the critical angle and for 6 angstrom it will be 36 arc minutes more than half a degree and the trick is that you have a plane substrate usually this is called float glass float glass on which you keep depositing thin films using thin film deposition techniques you have a specific bi layer and you know how you can calculate out how to change the thickness of the layers and you keep growing this step with variable thickness and ultimately you get I will show the photos later that reflectivity as a function of theta it goes out to a much larger angle compared to what you can find for a single element. So, this that is why it is called super mirror because the critical angle is large and you can reflect neutrons reflection means here is sort of Bragg law I would say snails law which follows snails law the neutron reflection follows snails law and that so far as the total scattering is concerned and it can the critical angle is much higher compared to any elements in case of neutron super mirrors. So, I just show you the so I showed you the critical angle for a silicon wafer and I discussed the super mirror now I can show you this is the source Swiss neutron is it is available from them it has got a critical angle which is almost 8 times because some super mirrors have a critical angle up to 8 times of nickel that means 8 into 648 art minutes per ounce from for this super mirror. So, these are the various super mirrors available from them written as m equal to 2 3 4 5 6 7 up to 8 you can go of course thus slow rather the reflectivity is not exactly 1 actually you can see that by the time we have 1 m equal to 8 the reflectivity has come down to almost 50 percent, but if you talk about m equal to 3 or 4 super mirrors you have got a very good reflectivity 20 percent and these are actually mirrors for neutrons and that is why I call that the neutron super mirrors, but so far I have not talked about I have I started talking about polarizers and I introduced you to neutron super mirrors now let me get back to super mirror polarizers. So, in case of super mirrors also I have got 2 different critical angles one is for b coherent plus b magnetic and the other is b coherent minus b magnetic. So, I can design now super mirrors in which a magnetic usually a magnetic like a nickel and a non magnetic material are coated in alternate layers with a variable periodicity and this super mirrors needs to be magnetized once I do that what like here is a nickel I show you the actual design data or nickel manganese super mirror and you can see that the critical angles are so different now how does it help in polarizing so now I get back to the story of polarization so now I have got this reflectivity versus theta that we just simplified so I have got a critical angle and then the fall for positive 1 and I have got the reflectivity plot for the negative polarization now you can see that if I reflect a neutron at angles beyond the critical for the negative polarization so now for reflection at angles between beyond this and less than this between these two for an unpolarized beam the one polarization is reflected and the other polarization is not reflected they are not lost they get transmitted so I have got a transmitted beam which is positively polarized and I mean sorry a reflected beam which is positively polarized and a transmitted beam which is negatively polarized so this is a positively polarized beam but this whole exercise is done mostly for cold neutrons because for thermal neutrons reason being as I said that the critical angle is dependent on lambda so for thermal neutron this lambda is of the order of one angstrom the critical angles are too small and difficult to control we talk about cold neutrons when the wavelength is four angstrom or higher or higher longer or longer when the wavelength is four angstrom or longer typically they are known as cold neutrons and for cold neutron polarization polarizing super mirrors super mirrors are used routinely nowadays they are commercially available and experiments with neutron reflectometry or small angle neutron scattering if we have to do with polarized beam it makes sense to using polarizing super mirror so I have talked to you about single crystal drag diffraction from magnetic sample for polarization of thermal neutron beams now I have explained to you how neutron polarizing super mirrors are used to polarize cold neutrons in general another class of upcoming polarizer is a helium three polarizer this is in principle it is simple in practice it is it needs very high technology so this is a iron silicon polarizing super mirror where as I told you that you can see that the up neutron reflectivity is very high up to a very large q value this q value will dictate what is the lambda or what is the theta because q is equal to 4 pi by lambda sin theta and for the down neutron it goes down to zero very often so if I consider 0.33 already the reflectivity of the down neutron is zero so any angle beyond this will give me a polarized reflected beam and also polarized transmitted beam because the neutron which is not reflected are transmitted through the polarizer so this is a iron silicon super mirror polarizer available from the sources I have taken the data from Swiss Neutronics site now coming back to helium three polarizing super mirrors these are transmission polarizer there has been long attempt to use helium three gases spin dependent when I say spin dependent is nuclear spin dependent absorption for polarizing transmitted beams large area transmitted beams so this is spin dependent neutron capture in an intermediate state where the helium three absorbs a neutron and then decays to a triton and a proton but interestingly neutrons with spin component antiparallel to the helium three nuclear spin when you talk about helium three polarizers it is a nuclear spin which absorbs so that means this has a very tall order of polarizing helium three gas by using some techniques now helium three gas polarization is done by interaction of this helium three in a cell with a laser beam and after that we get polarization of helium three so the transmission for two spins that means we have the helium three gas the nuclear polarization which has taken place and now we can write down the transmission as an exponential term sigma zero is the absorption cross section for the unpolarized neutrons but it gets boosted by one minus a one plus polarization of the helium nuclear the nuclear absorption nuclear polarization so it can be as high as 6000 burn for the antiparallel neutron so that's why one spin component goes out and since it's a transmission polarizer since it's a transmission polarizer it's a transmission polarizer the transmission polarizer in a simplistic terms you can have very large beam cross sections for some experiments which can be polarized in the transmission mode so you have you have got plus beam minus beam minus gets absorbed very strongly if the helium three nuclei helium three nuclei are polarized and this polarization is done by its interaction with the laser so I am just quoting it this is an old paper so it was the status at a in 2005 at NIST and this tells that it is done through interaction with two laser beams and how the gas is stored in a buffer cell I myself I don't want to get into the details of this details of the theory of this polarization but the basic fact is that helium three gas with nuclear polarization can be used for transmission of one component of neutron spin that is the basics of it but now it has advanced much more and today at ILL Grenoble and NIST there are helium cells which are put in line with the neutron beams and polarized beams are used so this completes my target of telling you how neutron is polarized for application next part is a brief part is flipper so here it is the data from the same paper and it shows the polarization efficiency of 91.2% but even at that time the time the polarization could be held and let us at 80% was 250 to 300 seconds it has increased a lot at the moment and that's why because if the polarization is lost quickly then the transmission polarizer also loses its efficiency so not only we need to polarize helium three but you also need to maintain the polarization for sufficiently long time for which the polarizer can be used in the neutron beam so in this paper the time was around 250 to 50 seconds I should say 250 seconds is around four minutes for which one can have a good polarized neutron beam I understand that this has gone much higher today but this is not an often used technique the often use techniques are what I discussed earlier the crystal polarizer Bragg scattering and the multi layer based super mirror polarizers now the last part of this talk is about flippers so we not only need to polarize the neutron beam but we also need to because there is a sample which is possibly magnetized in some direction and we need to have polarization along and sometimes polarization opposite to get the two different intensities of scattered Bragg scattered or mirror scattered beams and many times you also need to do a polarization analysis of the reflected beam so we need to flip the neutron spin after polarization depending on the experimental requirement so the flipping is as simple as said that up spin by flipping I should take it to down spin so there are several types of flippers I will just briefly tell you about other spin flipper here actually the neutron is polarized in the Z direction in a guide field let us call it B so if Z is the direction then I call it BZ that is the B0Z and then in radio frequency flipper if this is the if the particle is moving in Y direction and X reaction is normal to it then we can apply a radio frequency field another field which is rotating in this plane when it is rotating in this plane then you can see that this neutron sees a field which is a cone and which sees a static field of B component Y component of the B of this rotating RF frequency and then in this field the neutron will undergo precision undergo precision and if the Larmor precision frequency of this neutron I can match with the Larmor precision frequency based depending on the guide field B0 and if I can match the Larmor precision frequency with the field in the Y direction then the depending on the length of the RF cavity the neutron will go out with a flipped spin so this is called RF spin flipper being used right from the beginning of neutron scattering and later one more kind of spin flippers are introduced by Mezee known as DC flipper this is much easier to understand here actually the BG is a direction of the field guide field and neutron spins as you can see they are up over here you just take it through a guide through a field which actually there are three component of the field one is that minus BG to cancel the effect of BG and the field as you can see it is a solenoid so it is normal to the spin of the neutron and in this field depending on the velocity of the neutron and the field value the neutron undergoes a precision so if you can choose a certain wavelength and accordingly the length of the DC flipper which the neutron has to traverse then we get flipped neutron spin coming out from the other side of the flipper and the guide field you can see the field written as a guide field plus compensating fields and the field in which the neutron is undergoing precision and flipping so I have discussed with you two types of flipper one is a neutron spin flipper one is a DC flipper or a Mezee flippers most of the laboratories use these two kinds of flippers for neutron spin flipping for use in magnetic neutron diffraction or reflection or even analysis of the scattered beam so with this I come to an end for in the discussion regarding neutron polarizes and neutron flippers


Hey guys, this is Nate, AKA The Foot Account. Welcome back to the channel. We're gonna talk about this loading screen. The market continues to rebound and is going up big time in price. And as well, talk about SBC Fodder because Fodder is crashing on this game. So let's look at this loading screen because we have learned some interesting information about what we see out here right now. And the first thing that we see is 15 items and packs from the EFL, 15 items and packs from the community team of the season this year. So we were worried about this when the voting came out. We only saw 11 cards in the vote. I was wondering what they were gonna do and they're only releasing 30 cards and packs, 15 from each side. Now, let me tell you why this is an L because last year, the community tots was consisted of 20 different players and the EFL team of the season consisted of 21 different players. So we have a 11 card difference between the first week of team of the season. We had 41 cards last year released on that first tots Friday. This Friday we're only gonna have 30. So what does that mean, right? It means that the red picks, you know, when you have weak and weak rewards, your chances for a better card might be a little bit better or everybody else is gonna get the same two or three guys, goalkeepers, probably from the EFL tots. But also what this means is I'm the most interested in how they start requiring these tots cards for SBCs because last year with all those EFL tots cards and even some of these community cards, they started requiring team of the season for SBCs which is nothing new. But those team of the season cards, since there were so many of them, they didn't rise that much on the game. So since there's less tots cards, I'm wondering if in those first couple of weeks, we might see since there's less actual tots cards on the game. Number one, is EA not gonna require them because they're not putting as many out? But number two, what they do, could they be more investable and could we see a rise on those cards for their high ratings as people go to do SBCs? Now, that's just speculative of course, but the real fact is we're only getting 30 cards and that's still a little bit of an L because I would have loved to see a full 20, maybe even 23 in terms of the cards that will be impacts for community tots because those are gonna be cool cards that a lot of people wanna try out and use in their team. So that's kind of a bummer that we learned today. Also, that's the smallest update to a loading screen we've ever seen, but it's also nice to have that information from EA for them to let us know how many cards are gonna be impacts. I don't know if they've ever done that before, so that is interesting to say the least. But again, this market is up big right now in FIFA 21. It's crazy how much some of these prices have continued to rise. Today, we look at a couple examples. I wanna show you Mr. Neymar, not just the gold card. The gold Neymar is up 253,000 coins. He was 220 at his absolute lowest on Sunday and Monday. This 92 Neymar is up 230,000 coins, going from a one mil flat on Monday, even lower than that on Sunday. It was like 950 at a point and is now up to 1.235. Crazy rise there. A ton of the meta out of pack specials that are rare. And I really wanna focus on these foot birthdays because these cards are rare. They're rare AF, dude, right? This sterling card was 700K. Saturday, he is 919. Awar is up over 100,000 coins. Dama is up 125K. Atal is up 100K. Tamori was 430K. He was 500 earlier tonight. Actually, Modric is kinda low right now. He was 245-250 earlier. Kent is up from being 320K. But these foot birthday cards are very rare. And just like last year, they had that five star skill or five star week foot upgrade that makes them very interesting. So I think a lot of these cards do have potential to go even higher as we get towards team of the season. Because those are popular cards that people want to get for their teams. But again, the market as a whole informs special promo cards, icons, really have started to boom and take off. Because people have just realized that the prices that we were seeing were just too cheap and they wanted to get involved and buy some of these cards for their team. Mbappu's 280, he was down at 200K flat at his absolute lowest. Odegaard is up a decent amount too.  Now, it looks like Saka's kind of low right now. But this is the beauty of trading in a market like this when you have a lot of people that are buying and you see prices dipping and there's not big time content that's coming out that's gonna make these prices drop. I mean, this guy, this Saka card, if this 810 is sitting on the market, I'm low key interested because we have sales at 854, 858, 857, and if I know this is only going higher and could get more rare into the nighttime, 875 earlier today, he sold that. So this would be a card like right now, this is how I would trade in this market. If you're looking at a card that you see has dropped a decent amount in price, that's 100% a great place to look because those fluctuations are gonna happen. Now, how many cards do we have like 880? Oh my gosh, you look how many cards we have to 880? This has been on the market. This has been sitting on the market for almost 30 minutes. This Saka card, man, by the way, this is my first ever time on the PS5 in the menus. And oh my goodness, this thing is lightning fast, bro. I'm slicing through the PS5 menus right now, like a hot knife through butter, I absolutely love it. But I'm gonna buy this Saka card because I think I might be able to get upwards of like 880,000 coins tonight for this card. So I'm gonna list it up at 880 and tonight into tomorrow, I'll take, that's nice like, what is that? Maybe like 20K profit or something like that, quick math on top of the head. That's a W, right? And these cards get rare at nighttime. So that's the kind of trading that you can do in this market right now. Again, I bought this best for 13. This was bought at 400K. I bought this Bomba today at 185,000 coins and he's probably even higher than 207 right now. I bought both these at 150, sold at 170. And just, there's flips everywhere, right? There are flips everywhere. I bought this Figo at 219, this Alam at 390 and this Talvan at 170. And a lot of these cards are bouncing back and it's gonna be a lot of profit to be made right now in this market. So watch for cards that are not up yet too much. Like if they're still down. Like if this Sun is still 320, well 323 for this card. If you find like a 310 undercut on this Sun, 325 overnight as well, this is a very rare card that links to a potential team of the season community card. Same thing with this Bergwein brought. And this guy was like 290 earlier today. He's only 316 right now. You know, I think some of these cards still have room to go up. So it's on a card by card basis. Look at the percentage point rises and say, hey, has this card gone up a lot? Is this card very meta? Could it go up more? And if the answer to any of those questions is yes, then that could be a card that you look to flip as we continue on through this week. So that's gonna be like the best place in my opinion to trade right now is scrolling through these special teams, looking down through these cards and kind of just remembering the prices and knowing, hey, this card was at this point earlier in the day. Right now, this card is here. Stuff like that. Verans 440, you know, if I find one of those at 420, I think he's probably gonna go upwards of almost 500,000 coins after rewards. Now, this Kulusevsky card is one that has risen a decent amount as well. He's actually 226 right now. I'm pretty sure he was higher than that earlier today. He was in the 230s, yeah, almost 240 range, I thought, a couple times, about 240 almost. So this guy is continuing to rise because a lot of people think Kiesa is gonna get into the community team this season and that is a very OP card in this game that would link to that Kiesa. Now, here's an example of a card that really hasn't risen much. Serginio Des, 234 right now at the moment. He's only up like 10K, which is very interesting. He was actually just 246. So for me, this scene, this card was at 248 last night, 232 during the day, and right now he is, how much? 234? I'm interested. Your boy is interested. This is the beautiful way you can trade in this game right now, again, because these cards are so rare, too. How many cards to 250 do we have? Look at this, man. We have like not even a page to 250. So right now, since it's a little bit later in the evening, I'm gonna add this to 12 of my transfer targets, check for any bids, and see if there's any open, oh, boom, six minutes left on this desk, right? I'm gonna try to snag this open bid and then possibly flip it for like 250, 260 in the next day or two. So that, if you're looking for like Thursday flipping investments, I think that's kinda how you can look at the cards on the market right now. Look for stuff that really hasn't been raised in price that much, and you know, sink your teeth into it, right? Buy some cards because I feel like right now this is a buyer's market 100%. This St. Maximum is a very rare item, very hyped up item as well. Still seeing this around like 260. If I can find one of these tonight, maybe on bid, for like a 255 or, you know, right there's one at 255, but if I can get something under 260K, I'm feeling really, really good about this card because this is something that I think could be 300,000 coins again on the weekend, brand new card, still very hyped up, and only in packs, going out of packs today. So, new team of the week today as well, we'll take a second to look at that, because why not? We'll take a look at a prediction because that, you know, sometimes is good to look at. Who do we have here? We have got Courtois, Greenwood, Leon Bailey, who technically might be in team of the season community as well. I think he's gonna get in. A Striker Llorente card, interesting. Flippen, what do you, is that legit? All right, anyways, Seguritzen and Mobile, Parejo, Gunter with a left wing back card. I already mentioned Courtois, and then other than that, it's not looking that insane. Let's always do our due diligence as well. Take a look over at the foot head prediction. We have got Courtois, Immobilé, and Ahel Correa in this team as well. Another Immobilé, another Greenwood, a Diabi, a Ginter center back card, and that's kind of it. So, doesn't look like the strongest of team of the week. I've seen people rumoring Mbappe to get in, but I'm not really sure if that's gonna be legit or not because, you know, Mbappe, maybe EA throws him in, maybe they don't. But I was actually able to snag gold three this weekend. I was kind of feeling motivated Sunday night, snagged gold three in the weekend league, so I've got some of the best rewards, you know, besides silver one, I've only gotten gold three like twice or three times this year because I always just stop at 11, and I've got some gold three rewards coming in this week. So that's gonna be fun, get the 50K packs, of course, for the team this season community, open them up and see how we do. But again, let's talk about fodder, because we've talked about how this market is high, but one part of this market is down bad, and that is SBC fodder, and we're gonna look at it right now. You're gonna see these prices and be like, wow, this is pretty nuts. So why is fodder down, right? Fodder is down because people were expecting icon SBCs. Shoot, I thought EA was gonna do what they always do and try to drain some more coins before this promo starts, and they really haven't done that. It's been a very quiet weekend. It really has been. We haven't had too much in FIFA since Friday with the prime icon upgrade. We really haven't had anything since last week. We were always talking about a primer moments pack that could come out or a moments only SBC, and EA has not dropped that. They really haven't. Could they still this week? I guess, yes, but I'm not expecting it, right? I'm really not because I think they would want to allow more people, more time for people to focus on that before team of the season actually started, and since we're only two days away from TOTS, I really don't know if that is gonna be something they end up doing. So 86s are 22,000 coins. These are low. The big ones that I saw today though, Oblak is 66K, but this is actually up from where he was. Again, just like we've seen the past couple of days, on Monday, he was 75,000 coins. Panic sold on the Conta drop down to 64. Today, he rises back up to about 70,000 coins overnight. Panic sold down to 62K. 62K was this Oblak card. Oblak has not been 62K since before team of the year. Even during team year, this guy was 66,000 coins. That was ridiculously low prices for this super-high-rated fodder. Some of the 86s and above have gotten dangerously low to a point where I'm now questioning myself. Is this going to be lower right now with people that are selling fodder before team of the season actually comes out? Is there gonna be a low point on this stuff actually before we get to team of the season? Because a lot of people are panic selling this because they think we're actually gonna hit the lowest of lows. Even during that first little bit of team of the season, they're gonna say, hey, I think this is gonna be a low point with all the pack supply that comes out when actually some of the stuff might even be lower right now. It might be lower right now before team of the season before all the stages are opened just because when team of the season actually comes out, you're gonna have people that are looking to buy this and invest because they would then expect after that for it to go up. It's kind of like how people panic sell everything before the actual team of the season promo because they think it's gonna go down during that time but in actuality, you have to buy before everybody else starts buying. I think a lot of people are gonna start buying fodder this weekend. So if you see low prices, like if this Oblock is back at 62K after content drop today on Wednesday, I'm saying to club stock it, right? Buy one, throw it in the club. Same thing with the other high ratings. If you see them drop off to crazy, ridiculously low prices where they have not been for literally a month on this entire game since we have had a lot more SBCs come out, this Jordi Alba is how much? 23,000 coins right now for Jordi Alba? Man, I cannot get how fast these menus are, bro. I have seen the light because these menus, I'm just sliding through them and I absolutely love it. Anyways, Jordi Alba has not been like 22,000 coins in ages, right? And basically since team of the year and we've seen a huge rise and kind of a huge drop off in the month of March. And I think after team of the season, you're gonna see this stuff get back to the crazy prices that we saw in March. They're gonna be more icon SBCs, that's how E is gonna try to keep us involved. But actually during team of the season, you're just gonna see smaller fluctuations. So I think it might not be a bad time in the next two days if you see more panic selling on this fodder to do a club stock of it on the higher tier specifically, the very higher tier, especially if there are any cards in here that are in the voting for team of the season, which looking through this list really quickly for the higher tier cards. I don't think I saw anybody in here. No David Silva, no Henderson, Verati. None of these cards are in the voting for team of the season as far as I'm concerned or maybe could win. So that's interesting to say the least. But even some of the guys that might get into like Prem Tots, Prem Tots out of Pax Golds, like if you think like Salah, where's Salah? Salah might be a decent card that you could sink some coins into. You know, he's in 75K, he's in 90 rated cards, so maybe not. But you know, some of the cards that could get a team of the season, maybe like De Bruyne is a 91 rated card. He could go up in an extra amount if he's out of Pax during Prem Tots, not this week, but next week. So that's something to keep an eye on as well. Kind of more of a, not a sweaty way to invest, but you know, not something that we really, I don't really condone that stuff as much because that's kind of like the very simple play, right? Kane of course, probably getting a Tots card, 40K for an 88 rated card. Just something to kind of keep your eye over the next couple of weeks as we get into team of the seasons. But the 84s, 83s are still ridiculously high. Don't touch those, 3.6K per, I mean that's very expensive. 84s are at 8 to 9K, so they're definitely not low. But keep in mind that this fodder could be dropping a little bit more as we head into the weekend and that is 100% a situation that I would keep my eyes on right there. So 235 for desk on this bid. I'm gonna let that slide because the one on the marker right now is 236. So if this gets bought and I can slide in and buy that 236 on the bid of 212, I will definitely try to do that. But again, until we see some big time content come out in this game, it is a flippers paradise right now. Even though there's not a lot of people on this game, the prices are going up because that is a signal of demand because people are noticing that this stuff is low. There's not much to do. And all signs right now with only 15 cards, team of the season community, looking like it's maybe disappointing unless they really juice up these cards, it could be interesting. Now I still have a lot of thoughts on what's gonna happen on Friday. I think some of these team of the season cards this year are gonna be really expensive compared to previous years because this market has a lot of coins and people are just so in love with that first day promo cards this year. More than ever, right? More than ever we see cards not really rising out of packs from a promo because EA of course hits us with that next week and another promo coming out and that just diverts people's attention to those cards. So I'm really curious to see how this weekend goes, but I really think you're still gonna see a rise on this market. So if you see no content today, 100%, I would look to get involved with these out of pack specials or icons. Icons are always a really good Thursday flip. If you see any of those types of cards this week that are still low today, right? New team of the week coming out. If you see stuff, if that's our only content today is the new team of the week or maybe one of those like Prime, whatever packs for the league, then I do think you will see. I think you're gonna see a market rise regardless, but try to focus on the stuff that is still valuable meta in-demand players that are on this game that haven't really risen that much yet. You know, guys like Reese James right back is up from 320 to 387. The name are that we pointed out, the Veran, road to the final. One thing about those road to the finals is the fear of the competition potentially not going through has kind of subsided, right? Wow, this Veran is up high, man. 1.45. This guy was 1.3 lows, 1.3 flat earlier yesterday because again, that Super League talks were going on. Now it's looking like some of the clubs are leaving. So, you know, people's confidence is being restored in that the Champions League would continue to play on. So that card is rebounding up. So look around the market for stuff that hasn't really rebounded up and that could be a place where you find some deals and you find some good prices that you can then flip after rewards where you might see more of a market rise and of course, watch your rare cards in general as always because those, they just get rare overnight and you can get some pretty high sales. So that's 100% what I'd be doing on this game right now. That's what I'm doing, right? I'm flipping cards, rare out-of-pack specials and it's working pretty great. So, definitely a great time to trade. Interesting time for fodder. If you wanna get involved, I don't mind it. I really don't. I think you do a club stock and be well-served during team of the season if prices continue to go up because we're gonna get a lot of SBCs during TOTS, right? We got a lot of SBCs during team of the year. We go back and look at those graphs. They hit that low point like right at the beginning of team of the year and then whoop, they went up. They went up after that because there was a lot of SBCs that came out. People were crafting as well and you have to buy some players to finish SBCs when you are crafting. So that's the video for today, boys. If you did enjoy it, smash the thumbs up on a comment down below if you have any questions and subscribe if you're new. It's been Nate the Photocown and I'll catch you guys later. Peace out.


Hello, it's Rachel Lawson here again with the next of our community chats for the Drupal Association elections 2020 and this week I'm with Imra over in the Netherlands. Hello Imra, how are you? Hi Rachel, I'm good, thank you. Thanks for having me in this interview and I'm very grateful to be part again in the board elections on the community elected board member so thank you. It's great to have you, we are so lucky that we have 10 actually really incredible candidates. Yes I do. I'm going to be really happy whoever wins so as far as I'm coming from we're already there you know. So I was just trying to think actually back when we first met I can't remember it's like we've always been there. Yes so that is the same for me and I think I mean it was around Drupal County London 2012 I believe something. Oh my god yeah it could be. So yeah it feels like feels like a long time but I think somewhere around that time. Wow yeah it just seems so long ago now so much has happened since then and you know the world has changed and everything and you know so Drupal County London you know that nearly didn't happen because there was rioting in the actual street where the conference centre was two weeks before. Ah there was all right yeah I did we did not notice at all so we had a great time anyways. Yeah it was good we had a really good time I remember that it was a good place yeah. So I thought you know get us together and similar to the other candidate chats that we've been doing just ask a few questions find out more about you so that people know who to vote for and so on and I thought I'd start with something that I know is very close to your heart because you've evolved in many different ways and that's around building community. Do you want to tell us what that means to you and how you get involved? Yeah so I think you know from day one I've been advocating about our community and you know the passion that is in the Drupal community you know I for one as a person I'm a very strong believer in like socially sustainable ecosystems right in like sharing as opposed to a licensing model or proprietary thing so I'm very fond of that and Drupal is a very powerful example of how that sort of thing can become great so this is one and I for one I'm very strong about connecting people around that concept and around things that we do and I noticed that actually rubs off on people you know when I meet new people whether it be journalists or clients or maybe new talent and developers you know when you start telling when we start telling about our story and the things that we do it starts to rub off on them and you know they actually some of them are actually they join they purchase Drupal they adopt Drupal and I think that's a magical thing so that's for me is building community you know holding on to our own but also expanding and growth and I'm very much in that latter part and that's really interesting and in fact actually it sounds like what you do is you take that community that we have and bring it out and you're talking about Drupal all the time which almost leads into my next question which is around advocating for Drupal so what can you tell me about that what can you talk about how you see how we advocate for Drupal now and maybe in the future yeah you're on the board yeah so I've you know I've been in roles advocating Drupal professionally for the bigger part of my life that includes larger agencies you know even even like thousand or so co-workers advocating Drupal within our company as well as you know two outsiders also expanding the role for the development teams you know I've been like like a Drupal evangelist on that part and also I'm very proud of my you know my role taking part in getting one of the largest ports in the world uh run Drupal and there were many factors involved many people were involved but you can feel it when you tell someone your highest truth you know when it comes from your heart you are touching others right whether it's marketing managers or contract managers or content editors and I find this so empowering so that is that is to me about advocating for Drupal now as for the future I think there is a big challenge that we as a community but also the Drupal Association has is is advocating Drupal internally right so so from the community towards the Drupal Association and vice versa advocating amongst ourselves so I think there is a big challenge for us to you know you need to have people that are willing to you know keep keep you know keep the developers and the development community going and get get the talking off their backs and have others do the talking and I'm you know this is something that I'm good at and I'm willing to help and relay what's happening within our community and the needs that it has towards the DA and vice versa I like it yeah sounds good so it sounds like you you're coming at this from a position of lots of experience and so it sounds like that's something that's worth describing so can you tell us about board positions that you've held in the past or maybe still holding and what you're learning from those that applies to the Drupal Association board yeah so um so I've been part of the the board of our our own region like the Dutch Drupal Association for I think since 2013 I've been chair of the board for the past few years and I think much of the challenges that we have happening worldwide and we have happening in other region I mean it's the same with us maybe on a smaller scale right so I think one of the things that is you know that happened just that was just that was just happening a few days ago that was that was happening around the you know the the voting and and the the the membership commitment that you need to have for that right that's happening like on a global scale and the discussion that is happening around that is something that we you know that we see in our country too and that we have to deal with as a board in our country as well it's much similar it's actually actually the same but we do it on a smaller scale if you will so yeah I think that that that the things that we can that I that I that I learned from our region or you know the European region and the countries that I've been working in could help me you know convey the feelings and the and the you know the ways of looking at things towards the board and vice versa so that is where I will be looking to to help add my experience to the board that'd be really useful cool okay so as we talked to the staff we've been we've both seem to have been here for quite a while doing Drupal and learning any particular favorite memories from that time or so many it's you know it's I of course you know you'll there's too many to choose from if I were to pick a few I mean you know the Drupal cons have been great obviously it was great to you know I was part of of a smaller shop Clemson at the time of Drupal Communic which turned out into into Wunderkraut at the time that was that was a wonderful moment I remember having Dries in our office even before that I think it was 2008 and it you know I was still able to call him on a cell so I mean that was I'm very proud of that that you know that that could still happen at that time I mean he's still approachable but I don't expect him to answer my my call when I when I ring him on a cell another moment I mean a great one was was was Drupal Jam our camp last year which peaked at around 500 attendees and we had a great show two days also business involved so that that is that was a great one obviously you know Drupal Con Amsterdam last year the way I was I was taking part in that also the track team and the splash awards that was great so those are those are moments that definitely stand out yeah fantastic great thing about the splash awards though is that you know that is and that's something that goes to my heart where there's you know there's our development community or community that we that we are all part of standing you know shoulder to shoulder with clients on stage you know being proud of the of the common work that we do and that is building a community for me yeah that common yeah working together so it's not just because someone builds Drupal it's because they're consuming it as well and making use of it and changing the world with it yeah exactly and all those users users out there like content editors and marketers from the clients that we you know that we help with Drupal that we bring them in and say hey you know you're already part of the community you just in no way and now you're on stage with us so be welcome that that is a really interesting way of looking at that I think that's something we should do more yeah I mean I know that yeah as a team you know whether you're a developer or whether you're a designer I mean you're proud if you have your client next to you know taking in that that you know that spotlight brilliant I really should ask at this point if you have anything of any topic that you want to add to this uh but that might be of interest to the electrode well um we talked about I mean I think that we have a challenge ahead for us for us all and you know a challenge for that for the DA is also a challenge for all of us in a way so I think that is crucial in the coming months in the coming year you know to to keep our community united and together um you know and I think is a challenge to focus on internal advocacy as well and when I say internal I mean you know within our community and there is a great lineup of candidates I mean everyone is great like you said but I would call upon ourselves to find people like you Rachel that cross gaps between different kinds of people you know because both um you know towards you know inside our community as well as outsiders because I truly believe that is crucial um you know if you want to to to grow Drupal and to come out stronger that we have those those gap crosses well you'd be glad to know that we have a Drupal booth at the open up summit in a couple of weeks good good yeah brilliant okay well thank you very much Imran thank you absolutely the best of luck for the next few weeks and see until we see what happens and we will see I look forward to speaking with you again soon same here thank you very much


Welcome back to the channel. If you haven't yet, make sure you subscribe to stay up to date with all the latest content that we're putting out. At this point, we've got success coaches in our program who are releasing content every 24 hours to help you to grow and scale what you do and to help you with your business. Now, if you want to get in contact with me to talk about your training business more specifically, then there's two ways you can do that. If you visit the description of this video, there will be a link to my calendar. You can book a free 15-minute call there with me. We jump on Zoom, see where you are with your business, see where you want to get to and see if I can answer any questions that you might have. Now, if you don't want to do that and you just want to send me a direct message, then what I do is every single day I check my emails and I respond to coaches. I connect with coaches in this industry so you can send me an email to makemoneycoachingsportsatgmail.com. Those are the two ways you can get in contact with me to get more help with your coaching business. Today, I want to talk about how to get to 100K per year with your soccer coaching business. Now, if you look back on our previous videos, we released a video of one of our clients. Her name is Misha. She recently achieved a massive goal with a business which was to get to 100K per year. Now, a lot of coaches watching this will be thinking that is crazy. There's no way you can do that. It's impossible. But the truth is, it is possible. We've done it over and over again with coaches. We've seen coaches even double that. It is possible. What I would recommend is go and watch the last interview I made where I got Misha onto our podcast, did a short interview with her, asked her some questions and she opened up and shared how she got to 100K per year with her coaching business. You can take all the principles that she's shared. You can transfer them into whichever sport or training business you have and I can guarantee you it works. She's been in our program for a while now and she's implemented. She's worked hard and she's got great results. I'm confident that she's just going to continue to grow and prosper and she's going to get her business to the next level hopefully within the next 12 months. I want to share with you what are three things that Coach Misha did in order to get to that 100K mark and what things you can do and implement into your soccer training business to get to that goal. Again, this goal is not impossible at all. What it requires, it requires discipline, it requires systems, it requires persistence, it requires learning how to sell, how to market, but it's not impossible. We've seen it over and over again with coaches who have joined our business coaching program. We've worked with them, we've helped them to get there and they've got great results in the process. The first thing you need in order to get to 100K, you need to have good systems in place. What do I mean by good systems? Good systems means there needs to be a system in place to close clients and to bring in leads into the business. You need to have a good marketing system in place. This might be through social media, this might be through referrals, this might be through email marketing, this might be through word of mouth, this might be you going to local schools, local organizations, talking to people. You need to have a good consistent marketing system in place so that you're driving leads into your business who are then being converted into clients. The first one is you have to have a good marketing system in place. You also need to have a good structure so your business needs to be structured in a way that clients are committing long term. If clients are just dropping in random sessions, then essentially that's not going to work in the long term. Your clients need to be committed to for at least three, six, nine or 12 months so that they can get consistent results with you while they're training with you. You need a good marketing system, you need a good business structure. The third one is a good payment system. How are parents paying you? Are they paying you cash? Are they paying you online? The one we teach coaches to create, the one that we teach coaches to implement is to make sure they have everything online. We try and push coaches away from the cash model because it doesn't work and we get their players, their clients to commit to making all payments online. Essentially, when you have a system like that in place, you can create a month to month subscription where parents are paying you on a monthly basis for the training. Number one is you have to have good systems in place with your business. If you haven't got systems, then altering your business isn't going to grow. It's not going to excel and you're not really going to get anywhere with it. The second one is your clients have to admire you and look up to you. Now, I speak to coaches every single day and if I'm not getting on Zoom calls, I'm connecting through Instagram, I'm connecting through YouTube, I'm connecting through email, I'm connecting through WhatsApp, I'm constantly speaking to coaches. At this point, I've spoken to probably over a thousand coaches in this last year alone. Something I see and something a lot of them struggle with is getting respect from the clients they work with. Now, when you don't have respect from your clients, your clients aren't going to stick around for long. What that means is to get respect, you need to be the authority. You need to have terms and conditions in place so that if there's misbehaviour, if there's a lack of concentration in training, or if there's a disruptive child, you can go back to the parents and say, listen, you guys signed a contract with us, your child has been misbehaving, they've been disrupting the session. I'm afraid we can't keep them in the program. So what you want to do is essentially you don't want to work with every single person, you want to work with certain clients who are committed to your program, to your training, and look up to you. So you need to have respect, you need to teach your players discipline, and you need to teach your players how to build a good relationship with you. What are the expectations? Once they get to the training session, what do you expect from them?  So what I see with a lot of coaches is they don't get this part of the business. They just want to make money, get that quick buck, and just move on to another client. And ultimately what happens is those types of coaches don't build really good relationships, and it's more relationship built upon just bringing clients in to make money rather than keeping that client in for the long term.  I speak to coaches every single day in this industry, I'm connecting, speaking to them, and one question I always ask is, how long have your clients been with you? A lot of coaches say three, four, five, six months, but very rarely do coaches say a year, a year and a half, two years, or four years. So if you can get your clients committed for four years, imagine the amount of investment they've made into you and your company.  And this brings me on to my third point, which is to get to 100k per year, not only do you need to have a great relationship with your clients so that your clients stay with you for the long term, but you also need to produce real results with them so they are getting better and they don't want to leave you. Something coaches struggle with and coaches forget to do is they forget to create a client journey. So where was that client at when they first joined you? How has that client progressed with your training? And what's the end result we got with that client? So you might have had a client that comes to you and they're not getting enough playing time within their team. This is where they were at the beginning, this is what we've done to help them get there. And as a result of our training, our coaching, little Johnny has now become a first team player in on their soccer team. So you need to make sure that you show people the journey that your clients are having within your company, where were they at the beginning, how they've grown and where they've got to. And once you show results, then ultimately it's very easy to attract new clients because parents, when they do research on what you do, they're going to have a look and see right, this coach has worked with this player, this coach has worked with this player. Let's see the results they've got. Okay, amazing, they've got this result, they've got this result, they've got this result. Okay. And once you get those results with clients, you can then expose that results on to social media, on to website, on to email marketing. That is then used as proof that what you do works. And that's essentially what you need to do. You need to build up a profile of success that you've had with your clients so that you build a good reputation and you become credible to any parent that lands on your website, lands on your social media page, or is reading your emails and they haven't yet committed to your program. Okay. So hopefully this video has helped. If you have any questions for me, make sure you reach out. All right. Like I said, we help coaches every single day to reach this 100K per year. It's not easy, but we've seen great results already with coaches in multiple sports. We've helped coaches in soccer achieve it. We've helped coaches in basketball. We've helped coaches in baseball. Okay. We've helped coaches in multiple sports to reach that 100K per year so that they can expand, grow, bring on new staff, and just take their business to the next level. Okay. So this is something you want more help with. Make sure you get in contact with me. Two ways to do that. Description of this video, you'll find my calendar link. You can book a free 15 to 20 minute call there, or you can send me a direct email to makemoneycoachingsportsatgmail.com. Okay. Thank you for watching and I'll see you on the next one.


A lakes area habitat for humanity celebrated the completion of their one hundredth and twentieth house for a local family in need and this one was unique as it was a house that was in line to be demolished but was instead moved and refurbished for a deserving family. Our reporter Rachel Johnson has more. The Houston Baxter was filled for front to back Monday with people celebrating a job well done. Today is the most important day of our entire program for the family for our program when we have the opportunity to bring together the community to showcase what serving families in need looks like and joined together in celebration of their soon-to-be home that they'll own. Mandy Miller and Brian Andrews are officially homeowners. The whole time we would work on the house we would just think about things that we would be able to do you know once you're finally in here and so now we can just start being able to do those things so that's pretty exciting. Lakes area habitat for humanity was established in 1990 and works to provide affordable housing to families in need. There's a criteria list that we have so the families have to take the first step and apply and then we have a system of checking to make sure they meet our particular guidelines and once we have those checked and we actually visit them in their homes. This is the first of five houses that were moved when the city of Baxter needed to expand Cypress Drive. Instead of demolishing the five houses that were in the way of the road expansion they reached out to Habitat for Humanity for help. This has been a very intriguing and very unique experience. The city reaching out to us asking us to be their partners in helping save five homes from the wrecking ball. Mandy and Brian have dreamed of owning their own home after renting for years with their family of eight.  The Habitat crew is looking forward to the completion of the next house on the project which will be right next door. They hope to have it ready for another deserving family by Christmas. Reporting from Baxter Rachel Johnson Lakeland News. And again that's the 112th house for Habitat for Humanity for Lakes Area Habitat for Humanity which serves Cass Crowing and Hubbard Counties and the city of Staples.

What's up everyone, Takedown here. Welcome back to another video. Today, I'm going to be sharing with you the top WWE factions. Let's get right into this. Up first for me is D Generation X. They debuted in 1997 and stayed together as a faction until the early 2000s. In 2006 to 2007, Triple H and Shawn Michaels brought the D Generation X gimmick back as a tag team, so it was just the two of them. And then I believe they reunited again as the tag team version from 2009 to 2010, something like that. So not too bad. The original members were Triple H, Shawn Michaels, X-Pac, Billy Gunn, Road Dog, and Shina. The championships that they have won as a collection for the time they were in the DX faction was the World Tag Team Championships, the New Age Outlaws. So Billy Gunn and Road Dog won it a total of five times as part of the D Generation X faction and Shawn Michaels and Triple H as DX won it once. The WWE Tag Team Championships New Age Outlaws won it one time and Triple H and Shawn Michaels also won it one time. So that's a lot of tag team championships between the group throughout not only the early days, so 97 to 2000, but also whenever the tag team, Triple H and Shawn Michaels brought the DX gimmick back. And the best part is they went into the Hall of Fame in 2019. The whole group, which to me was well deserved because they've done so many iconic things back in the day in the attitude era, especially whenever WWE was trying to purchase and beat out WCW at the time. The whole WCW invasion with the tank was epic. Next is going to be Evolution. The members for Evolution were Triple H, Batista, Ric Flair and Randy Orton. They debuted from 2003 to 2005. They did make a short return in 2014, just it did not include Ric Flair. Of course, Ric Flair was getting up in age at the time. And the only tag team championship they won as part of Evolution was Batista and Ric Flair and they won it a total of two times. To me, there's no doubt in my mind that they're definitely going to be in the Hall of Fame someday. Ric Flair is already a two-time Hall of Famer. Batista went in earlier this year. Triple H went in as part of D Generation X. I know Triple H is going to go in on his own someday, but Evolution as a whole, I feel like they're definitely going in the Hall of Fame someday as a faction. Next is going to be from NXT, Undisputed Era. The members are, of course, Adam Cole, Bobby Fish, Kyle O'Reilly and Roderick Strong. They won the NXT Tag Team Championship three times, but Adam Cole has won the NXT Championship and Adam Cole and Roderick Strong have both held the North American Championship in NXT. And why I'm mentioning that is the group has helped them during those title reigns as well, which I thought was pretty epic. And Adam Cole and Kyle O'Reilly won the 2018 Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic. To me, I really hope to see them in the main roster someday as a faction, and I really hope WWE has no plans on splitting them in the future. Next up is going to be the iconic Wyatt Family. The original members were only Bray Wyatt, Luke Harper and Eric Rowan, and the later members were Braun Strowman, Randy Orton and Daniel Bryan. They debuted in NXT in 2012. Rowan and Harper won the NXT Tag Team Championships while in NXT, which was epic. They made it to the main roster in 2013. They ended up splitting in 2014, and they returned in 2015 with Braun Strowman. They've had, in my opinion, quite a lengthy run in WWE, not only as a faction, but also Luke Harper and Eric Rowan as a tag team. And they've had a lot of gimmicks along the way and a lot of different situations whenever they included Randy Orton and then whenever they included Daniel Bryan. So they've had a lot of creative and a lot of epic matches. So I definitely see them in the future, at least Bray Wyatt and Rowan, maybe with Braun Strowman, because of course Harper's not in WWE, but maybe the other three reuniting down the line as the Wyatt Family. I could see WWE doing that eventually. Next is going to be NWO. The original members were only Hulk, Hogan, Kevin Nash, and Scott Hall. But of course, if you guys know the NWO, there was at least 50 names that were included or claims to be included in NWO, but they were only the original members were Hogan, Nash, and Scott Hall. They started in WCW and later came to the WWE. They debuted in 1996 and made it until 2001, and they continued to make reunions after that as well. In 2020, they were inducted in the Hall of Fame with all three members of NWO, so Hogan, Nash, and Scott Hall along with X-Pac. X-Pac was included in the induction in the Hall of Fame for NWO. So these were the top WWE factions. I honestly see a lot more factions happening moving forward because other than Undisputed Era and a couple other odd ones here and there, we don't see too many factions, at least factions that tried to take over the WWE like we did back in the day. So I'm hoping WWE tries to do something in the future where they have a big faction that tries to take over the most of the WWE. I think that would honestly be epic, or at least have an NXT faction that tries to take over the main roster. I think if WWE were to do something like that, the fans would honestly be on board because there's a lot of NXT talent right now that I feel should be included on the main roster. And by doing something like this, I could see that definitely working out for them. So hope you guys liked this video. Please take care. Peace.


Maybe you need to scale back. Look at something a little smaller, a little bit more indie. Well, the film I'm talking about today is Whale Rider. It might be right up your canal. I was gonna say alley, but canal feels more appropriate because of the water and the whales, and let's start. Whale Rider came out in 2002. So naturally now is the time to talk about this film. Oh no, it was actually recommended by Owen Menning over on Patreon at patreon.com Adam does movies. He became a myth roll member just so he could have me watch this and review it. Thank you, Owen. Let's dive in. Oh, the water. Written and directed by Nikiki Karo, Whale Rider's based off a novel of the very same title. Actually, full transparency, I believe the book is called The Whale Rider and it came out in 1987. The film dropped the the, got right to the point. There's a whale, there's possibly riding in this thing. Come out and watch it. The film was shot in New Zealand. It has a very documentary style to it. Very kind of low budget, low res. Still very pretty though. A lot of good vistas and locations. Music, fine, it's slower. It's more somber because this is a more somber tale. A tale of a tribe that was once great but has fallen on hard times due to the lack of leadership, due to the fact that the answers promised another to lead them to glory and that boy died in childbirth. Unfortunately for them, the daughters survived and now they have to deal with a girl who doesn't belong in a leadership role because you know, patriarchy, sexism, things of that nature. But we might possibly see something change by the time this movie's done. The girl in question is Paikia, played by Keisha Castle Hughes. Fantastic acting here by this young one. She's only 12. Sometimes it's dangerous to follow a child actor throughout the course of a movie but yeah, Keisha gets it, she gets it. Very sympathetic young girl. We're gonna be following this girl as she does everything she can to impress her grandfather. Why not the father and mother? Well, the mother went Padme style, died in childbirth, trying to deliver two kids. The boy passed away. But the girl Paikia made it out okay and the reason why is simple. She's a strong female lead. Hollywood loves to throw the buzz term around but whale rider does it right. This girl is sympathetic. She's passionate. She wants to gain the admiration of her peers and really impress her grandfather because even though the father of Paikia survived, he might as well be dead. He moved on with his life, abandoning his daughter basically, leaving the tribe and the island to start a new life with a new wife in New York. I know it rhymed, it wasn't supposed to.  I do think it's worth watching. For me personally, a movie like this a little too slow. Not enough explosions, not enough action for me. A joking, I can watch slow movies. I can appreciate them. Whale Rider just is a little bit too tedious for me. I was sitting there kind of thinking, okay, I get this. I get what she's trying to do, what she has to accomplish. I just wish it moved on a little bit quicker. So without those James Cameron colors attacking my eyeballs every five seconds, I start to think, yeah, we can move on from this scene of her crying in her bedroom or of her just looking on as other kids are trained while she's swept aside. It's so disappointing to constantly see these guys dismiss her when she has good ideas and she has a spiritual connection to the whales. That's right, there are whales in Whale Rider. They do play a very prominent role. I will say the last 20 minutes is really good. If only the movie moved a little quicker to get to that point, I would have been all in instead of just half in. Seeing those beached whales is tragic. Anytime animals are in harm's way for no good reason, you just feel bad, don't you?  You know? How is that a whale's fault that they're trapped on a shore? Come on, let's help them out. And the tribe does, they work together. It's a very beautiful moment, very beautiful sequence. I don't honestly know how they filmed it.  Something's gotta be done about the director putting these whales basically out of their misery for this film. Disgusting stuff. Joking aside, Owen Menning, I appreciate you recommending this film. I appreciate all Patreons in the movies they bring to the table. Whether I love them, like them, tolerate them or outright hate them. Whale Rider, it was a good watch. I could watch it again. I recommend everyone checking it out and forming their own opinion. Just not my favorite by any stretch of the imagination. A very serviceable, watchable movie. And I do appreciate it going a little bit into the culture, which is something I'm sorely lacking when it comes to some of these tribes and just how spiritually connected they are. Another thing that I have nothing of. I'm essentially a useless husk of skin and bone waiting for my time on this earth to come to an end. Subscribe. Well, that's 2002 Whale Rider. A nice self-contained film. There's no two whales, two furious, or any follow-up movies. It's a one and done, nice little picture. Thanks again, Owen and all Patreons out there, and YouTube joint members. Like the video, please, if you had a good time and please subscribe if you haven't. I post tons of movie content and reviews every single week. Would love to have you stick around. Take care. We sure had a whale of a good time, didn't we?
