Felly, Elin yn ei ddweud ei nhw'n gwybod o'r cyfnodol sydd wedi'u gwneud y cyfnodol yn hyn i ddimol i'r cyfnodol a chydwch ar y cyfnodol i gael gfaith ym Mhwgarthu Llywodraeth yn ymddangos i fynd i'r llunio'r iawn. Elin, rydym yn ei ddim yn gwybodaeth i'r ffordd. Rhaid i'n meddwl i'r cyfnodol, pan gennym ni i'n meddwl i'r gwaith. As you said, my name is Ellen, and I have a job in IT at Concern. A couple of years ago, we started out on this new venture to look at tech for good in Dublin. I want to set a little bit of context for you about the global movement. Before we started our group, we had a look around. Really over the last decade, there has been a slow movement across main cities around the world a'r hoffwyr, a'r hoffwyr a'r hoffwyr ynghyd i'r hynod ymlaen i'r tydwydau gyda'r rhai o'r unig o'r bwysigol, ac i'n bwysigol ar y cyfnodau a'r hyffwyr. Yn ei wneud o'r unrhyw yng nghyd, oherwydd rydw i'w hyd i'r hynod yw Lundin, barcelonau, yn Gymru, ac oes hynny'n bryddoedd, oeddenbryd ac Cardiff, Exeter, Vancouver, a Mumbay, Nairobi, Auckland, San Francisco, Adelaide, ac mae'n gwyfnod o'r llwyddoedd, rydyn ni'n gwybod i fynd yn digwydd. Wrth gwrs yna, ydych chi'n meddwl erbyn symud i'r ddweud. Mae'r ddechrau i ddweud o'r ddweud yma, a'r lleoedd yma. Ond yna, mynd i'n meddwl ei ddweud yr ethos, a hyrryb i'r meddwl fydd yn digwydd o'r bodi'n meddwl i'r digwydd o'r sector cyfnodig, i'r bwysig o'r ddweud o'r ddweud, ac o'r ddweud o'r ddweud o'r ddweud, a dweud yn gweithio'r cwrs ar gael, a yna fyddwn ni'n dweud y tawwch yn ei wneud am fwy o bryd. Rydw i'r mwyaf yw'r gwybod yn ymgyrchu i'r bwrdd o gwybod o'r tyn am gyfosiaeth gwahanol, a'i arweinydd o'r cwrs, ac yna'n hwyl i'r cyfnodol, ac rydw i'r cyffredinol i ddweud yr unrhyw yn ysgol. ac yn ystod yn cyfrifio ar gyfer cyfnodau a'r amser o'r might ymddiannol. Yn hyn, mae'n amser i'n gwybod i'w gweithio i'n ymddiannol i ddweud i ddim yn dyblin. Mae'r ymddiannol i'n gwybod i'n gwybod i ddim yn 2017. Mae'r cyfrifio i fynd i dyblin yn Ymddiannol i ddigonol i'w ddweud i'w gweithio i'r ymddiannol i ddweud i dyblin. ac rydyn ni'n gallu bod gael cyfnodd ac yn ddau'r gwrthod, i'w ddechrau i ddweud yn dybl yn ein bod yn gweithio. A'n y ddiwedd y tro iddynt o'i cyfrannu a'r ddechrau, ac mae'n gweithio'n gweithio'n gweithio, ddim yn ddegwyd, a'r cyfrannu cyfrannu, ac mae'n ddegwyd i-degwyd ac mae'n gweithio'n gweithio'n gweithio. Mae'r ddechrau'n ddegwyd. Ond we'n ddweud o'n ddweud gweld o'n cyfrifio mewn siaradio honno? Ond we'n ddweud am amser o'n ddweud o'r bobl yn go fyddion gweithiau ei gennym o'ch f難igolol i'ch ddeutigaeth a lanch o'r bobl, ac oeddwn i'r pwysig o'n cyffredin iawn, oed yma i gwybod i yn yr ysgol, a'r bobl yn cynhysig oherwydd i'n ddweud hwnnw i'n ddweud hwnnw yn gwybod i'r bobl i'r ddeutigaeth a'u gwybod i'r holleg i fynd i'r bobl. mae'n amlwg maen nhw'n dwyliadu gwirionedd ac i'r cwmwynt iawn. Ond mae hwnna, a'r cyffredinydd cymryd i'r gweithio'r cyffredinydd a'r cyffredinydd, a'r cyffredinydd yn ei wneud. Ond fel yw'r ffordd, mae'n meddwl 22-23, mae'n gweithio'r gweithio, a'r ffordd o bwysig o'r ffordd 40 o gweithio'r gweithio, oedd ychydig ar gyfer y ffordd o'r gweithio'r dweud, ac y maen nhw'n gweithio'r gweithio. We use Meetup Group, and on there we have about 1,900 members. Meetup is great because people can hear about the events, we also put them on event brides, but it's really quite a simple model. We go out and find people and they come and talk. We have a co-sponsored Liberty IT and anti-works pay for donuts and tea and coffee. AIB give us a room above the bank in Grafton Street, which is very central, people can get there easily. We outgrew a smaller room and we got a bit bigger, so we had to move up a step. I'm going to go back to that slide because I want to talk about the events and really give you an idea about the topics that we've featured. You can see a few examples up there, but tech for good is such a wide umbrella. The basic principle is if someone is trying to solve a problem or help people using technology, really taking profit out of the equation in the short term, it's something we can talk about. If you go on our website you'll see all the historical events, but in the last few months we've had, for example, we had an event in June about using 3D printing as a disruptive technology and what people have been doing with 3D printing. We had a speaker who talked about how he had been building artificial hands for children who were waiting for prosthetics, and often you have to wait a while because children grow really quickly, but he was able to 3D print hands and multiple versions in different sizes. The kids also were involved in seeing the 3D printing and he bought cheap printers from China and would leave them in situ after he left. That's a really interesting event that we had. We had another one on neurodiversity, which is where we met my dyslexic. Mark's going to talk more about their product today. We also had someone to talk at the same event about how you can make your workplace more autism friendly and some of the things that we might not always see, which can be minor adjustments which can make workplaces more accessible. In October then we launched a new free Irish Sign Language app which had been developed to teach people sign language using short videos and everyone came along and used the app and it was really great because Irish Sign Language is slightly different to other Sign Languages so we didn't have one of those before. You can find out more about that online. Last month we had quite a niche event all about bees and how people are using artificial intelligence and big data and the internet for things to figure out bee behaviours and to try and inform the best policies for protecting and developing bee colonies. You can see from those examples that it's so wide-ranging that you really can find little pockets of activity across so many different topics and that's why it's so fun and interesting. I just want to go back now to the inclusion and diversity question. It was really important to us from the very beginning that this group was for everyone. Two female founders were determined to have 50% of our speakers be women. We've actually ended up having all sorts of different speakers including children, people signing with Irish Sign Language, people with autism speak, we've had professors, we've had volunteers, obviously people from nonprofits as well. So a really wide range of speakers and really anyone who wants to speak can. We also have a Q&A at every session, lots of interaction. We want people to know they don't have to be technical to come along so we make that clear and we put a sort of everybody welcome message on all the events and I invite people to bring a guest. We have kept all our events free, we don't want costs to be a barrier and then we've also made sure that our venues are accessible, we had to stop using one place because they didn't really have wheelchair access and we felt like we didn't want to really have to worry about someone not being able to get into the building. So we try and find topics that are inspiring. We try to listen to the group and take their feedback and change things around. So as much input as possible. We want it to be less led and more collaborative. Right, so just a little bit really about Dublin. I don't know if everyone knows about all of these groups, these are just some that I know about. So since we started in the two, two and a half years, we found a range of groups, most of them the majority volunteer led sort of unofficial evenings and weekends types of groups who run their own version of this sort of problem solver change maker enterprises. So everything from Code for Island who are building solutions to everyday problems to data kind Dublin who offered to do data analysis and data science for non-profits who maybe can't afford to do that themselves. We've got people encouraging new start-ups, BlockW that I met Joyce through. People hacking accessibility issues around Dublin. And then people matching new and twos with non-profits who would love to have some help but very specialised help. So I think what's fantastic about Dublin that there is this vibrant ecosystem of change makers and people who want to influence and change their environment and we all support each other so we meet up, we talk on Twitter, we invite people to each other's events. You know, we're all trying to do a lot with not much money so we have to help each other. So if someone says to me, I've got this event, will you tell your members? We try and do that where there's a common theme. So I'm not sure what time I'm at but I'm not going to... You're doing great. I'm doing great. So this is my last slide and I know I've rushed through a bit but there is that we did do a TED Talk in June and actually I haven't mentioned any of the examples in that talk so if you watch that you'll get three different examples of our tech for good experience. But there's lots more we want to do. Obviously we have limited time resources but we would love to share more projects and share stories so if people know things happening the only way we hear really is someone dropping us an email or tweeting us. We want to make more connections both locally but also globally. We do talk to the other tech for good group leaders and share ideas but there's probably a lot more we could do there as well. I mean we'd love to have UK Island Summit or something along those lines. Obviously that's a bigger enterprise. We want to advocate more for this trustworthy ethical approach to tech which is so easy to forget about and it's so important. If our human rights are not respected by the tech that's being built then really we're in a world of trouble and we have to raise that issue at every opportunity. We want to offer more help so when people come to our meet-ups and say they want to volunteer we'd love to be able to find ways to match them effectively with organisations that need help and to support side projects and collaborations like Andy's going to talk about a side project which came out from one of our events about a year ago and we'd love to be able to see more of that happening. Sometimes I get random emails of people wanting to fund projects and help and support and we don't really have a mechanism for that at the moment but some of these projects are not necessarily established enough to avail of social innovation fund Ireland or social enterprise Ireland. They may be a bit stuck in a gap where some support might be useful so there may be a gap there. We've had contact from other parts of Ireland where people were thinking about starting groups in Galway and Derry particularly we'd like to encourage them to do that. The groups are all independent but we think the more the merrier. To raise this conversation about the importance of technology being used for good as high level as we can get tell as many people as we can and really get to a point where the default should be that technology is something that serves us, serves our needs, serves our communities, respects our human rights and doesn't cause us long term injury or damage or loss of power in our own decision making. So we would like to see all tech really to be tech for good which is why we continue with this quite simple message and talking to as many people as we can really. So that's my introduction, thank you for listening. Thanks Ellen for that very powerful message and I think everybody here can take that on board themselves and let other people know about it but that is really important because we hear all the time about technology, what it's going to do for jobs, what money is going to bank and all the rest of it but in real impact will be in these little things that change people's lives so thank you very much for that. We move now on to Andy and Andy is the resident technologist I learned at lunchtime for tech for good. Yeah he's a big supporter of the group. He's the sole supporter of the group. He's a software engineer, a technologist with Liberty IT and he's worked in a whole range of areas including banking, DIT, his computer science background and business information system and he's one of Silicon Republic's fintech influencers to follow so we've met him here today, it's very important. So Andy will discuss the development of technology-based solutions to support homelessness services and very well links into what Ellen has been saying about seeing a problem and seeing how tech can support that so we look forward to your presentation and I think any of you would like to go to tech for good meet-up, there's one tomorrow night as it happens in AIB on your homelessness app as well so that's another opportunity to see what happens in tech for good so Andy thank you very much. Great. Time for a bunch of munitions on the board here because I'd like to articulate as a talk. Andy, some of it or maybe it's your T which is based partly on the mutual it's kind of global multinational insurance company we don't actually sell on the market here our sister company, my mom likes that insurance we only build so for our parent company so the main reason we've been involved in CSO is actually something we're interested in doing in the zuanna, we want to use our technical skills for social good and to tank the leadership support there's two things which I want to touch on today I'm going to give an example of this work for the homeless charity we've been doing but I also want to touch on really about the ethics of engineering I think engineers like me are quite privileged in that for affording it's a plastic jobs market but I was a job today, I'm a job tomorrow morning probably in any country so the engineers have the privilege of being able to choose what they work on and it's good to be able to do that because recently there was this time a guy was overloaded companies like Google and Amazon Agress and Microsoft some of their workers in engineering are beginning to feel dubious about some of the contracts they might be doing with basic pentagon mass surveillance of wrong populations but engineers have the ability to actually say hang on a second should we do this to try to get into the strong pump and then you just leave and take your skills to someone else and that is probably something which more junior engineers need to be so maybe they are made aware of that to do a voice and influence things because businesses are generally or businesses are mainly interested in money but of course it is probably an old one which is something I've probably seen many times at this age but I love talks in schools, in colleges senior business leaders and pretty much every single talk I give is an energy but I choke this in because I decided to see what your action is so this is basically a modern look at the classic trolleybop if it is a driver's car there are no steering wheels there are no brakes people call them driver's cars they are not really cars cars are steering wheels 100 years ago people used to call cars horses carriages 20 years we wouldn't call them cars we would call them pods or something but if there is a driver's car it is hurting on the road and there is a blockage here it is bothered a tree is following a tree is following in the storm and potentially those people are not supposed to be there maybe they are but the car has sensors it knows that it is going to kill these people if it hits them but it also knows if it swerves into the next thing it is going to kill everybody in the car so what should the driver's car do opens it to credit none of the time if the people are there if it is 80km an hour the driver's car is going to drive faster so it knows that tree falls but the sensors will not complete as many seconds it doesn't have time to stop a very simple question I look at this because it is indignant about this but are gestures and signals the code but it has gone really fast but run away obviously so it doesn't have time to go all the way so someone is going to die so someone is going to die ok ok so if it makes it out with advocates if it is a prison van is that making a difference what happens in prison van going to the death row and the people in the van are going to execute it but it is a really hard question to answer the main point I am making is that someone like me probably a white male in his 30s is making his decision somewhere already so to someone in Silicon Valley it is probably a guy and they are at a computer if then else, if car is on this speed of children on the road and that is quite interesting I give a lot of talks to kids in schools about how it sounds like it is a great career choice for all of the reasons but you have the potential to try and see some of the things so the children today are making the decisions so I just thought it is interesting how annoying people get about but there is an answer in 20 years time if only cars are driving this we won't walk on roads anymore no one must walk on motorways eventually no one will walk on roads so an example of I see a technical road having two strands one has been out ago in the work you actually do and the two are using the skills outside of your your core job or if your core job can be can actually be something good it is using those skills a lot of tech companies are interested in CISOR a lot of CISOR do is not new technology it is the go places the paint walls are amazing as well but we also have the ability to build things and create things as a technical road event last year I heard that Antifling is the CEO of the city of the homeless basically it is an interesting journey it is almost entirely volunteer it sees all the CEOs of the volunteer the marketing guys of the volunteer and each night on the streets of Dublin there are three or four large groups of people facing food and clothes and comfort to the people who are sleeping ropes so when all of us are at home watching ethics or on the streets bringing help to the people who need it and as part of the process I have doubted them a few times and it is kind of like people on drugs and things the people you meet outside of mental problems they are not on the streets because of any choice really so Antifling CEO was saying to me last year to be able to build an app to help these volunteers and to just put them forward I needed to have 15 rounds so I wouldn't spend it on that and so I basically said this and my brother should be able to do something with that so in the from summer to summer this year we were basically building an app for the volunteers to use and we have been on websites as well on the back end really simple app right I think it's kind of mentioned here I'll jump back to what she is it's when you do work I guess try all the time what you need is because a lot of people actually try and create solutions to charities that they think they need but they don't actually need so the original need the original need from the charity was they've given a gift of about 20 or so a tablet iPads or other tablets I think from eBay I think you know someone who said this and the great volunteers could use these on the grave because it's currently there to our process of paper they can't keep the meat which we need on paper when I digitised it as soon as I met the users so the volunteers said we don't use tablets because it's too awkward to work on our phones so we have some properties I think in the workshops with what real problems are what ratings did David on it I mean we kind of come up with a big shopping list of all the useful things once I went with David at night and a few times and saw what did he do and realised he didn't need any of that stuff it's just what the charity needed and since then we've built something pretty simple to solve it based on the latest one all the kind of information you may need to get a place to call to find out if somebody is a hospital et cetera and it also gives them the tool to count the people they need and honestly kind of fight females here for females here and then in the background we begin a website which gives them all this information to have a format on maps and basically we digitise what is paper process for and so they can start to use proper data analytics on a way of resources or needed et cetera and interesting it's all being deployed and built on serverless architecture basically it's on Amazon's cloud and it's basically running for free so we're editing a total cost of our engineering work and the total cost of this is $12 for kind of that sort of domain and the website but because the usage is low enough it's not so much for free so it's basically a free solution for a charity whereas if you went to an actual company to build for a charity you'd meet in space and stuff you know so that's the website if you're interested in tokens or if you want more that you can try to sell to manage on the street there's another type of world a medium about homelessness to see you home from ICH to put me someone from giveback.ie which basically could come up with a browser plug-in if you're an internet browser on your computer and they're tied into the place of Amazon basically if you spend money online the ICH shares will get a percentage of us and as they call Zoe Obenheim who's basically been started at homeshopper.ie it's basically she's come to a way to digitise the transfer of council houses between people who have council houses they could currently tell the wind experts and she's basically come up with a a way to digitise it that's ultimately my right at the stakes of an administration Thank you very much Andy I think what you've sewn very clearly I think maybe Owen Murphy should have a good word in terms of looking at these issues because they're very important to be able to document what happens and you've shown how with particular interest you can use technology in a way that helps the users but also the charging to expand their resources much more effectively and I think it's very interesting just in the broader area of technology in Europe and particularly AI the ethical question is a really key issue and I think that's what we think generally in technology we can add something too so this is really another important part of that ethical approach so thank you very much Mark Mark is the CEO of iDyslexic is the world's first social network for people living and working with dyslexia and and or ADHD it's in 40 countries and Mark will go through this with you just to tell you a little bit about Mark he won't be surprised to know that he's an entrepreneur his background is in marketing he has also worked as a project manager, sales and as a machine operator so he's a broad range of experiences and he'll speak to us now about how social application for people living and working with dyslexia and ADHD works and I think importantly Mark you tell your own personal journey of getting involved so thank you very much Mark it's a slightly different presentation I'm just going to talk a little bit about myself that's always nice I suppose my journey that more so about myself was George Washington once said that the hardest conflict is the greatest triumph 250 years ago it was suspected that George Washington had learned difficulties and things have not changed for the next 30 years it's absolutely incredible that we still have 80% of students who are bullied in school we also have 43% of those kids ending up with mental health issues 1 in 6 women diagnosed with a learning difficulty end up attending suicide 80% of suicide notes have dyslexic type spelling mistakes so that was a report by the Samaritans in 2018 from the UK and Ireland 6,400 people had committed suicide 80% dyslexic type notes it's terrible so I'm quite asking every single person here today if you could help someone today with a learning difficulty it could be a family member it could be a friend it could be a colleague 1 in 5 people on this planet has a learning difficulty that's 20% of the whole world population it's absolutely astounding it's also free to help people through a dyslexic it's a free app we go through it in the end dyslexic and ADHD are a massive issue for people with these human difficulties I want it once so is my son I have dyslexic ADHD I've struggled in my life and that's why I want to do something about my dead man Mackenzie Mackenzie is now 10 he's been reading him a bedtime story about Peter Rabbit now you're probably all familiar with Peter Rabbit he's mischievous but he's a likable character surrounded by Mr McGregor who was the farmer and at the end of the garden was the fox and the fox was jumping up and down in the steering and he was laughing poor Peter Rabbit was theory he was isolated, he was alone and he was afraid of laughing as he always does in the story but Mackenzie got up out of bed crying and he said to me Dad I know exactly how Peter Rabbit feels I have that every single day in school I'm bullied, I have no friends I'm all alone, the teacher gives out to me everybody gives out to me I don't understand what's going on and nobody understands me and I don't understand anything I look the same as everyone else but I'm totally different, I feel different he then said to me Dad I hate my life and I wish I was dead Now when Mackenzie was 6 6 years of age he was just turning 7 and I was devastated like anybody here who was a parent or have a family member who has difficulties I was absolutely devastated I didn't know what to do so I started to look around looked at different places and I didn't know where to start and I soon realised that I wasn't on my own as I said one in five people out there have a learning difficulty that's 20% again of the population just keep that in your head over a billion people and from research it rises to 2 billion when you add in family members and people who are working in the space so it's a massive chunk it's actually the largest minority in the world issues that I came across in my own journey we went about getting a diagnosis or an assessment and it took nearly three years and the talk about early intervention but they actually don't step in and help kids in school until they're 8 so we spent nearly three years waiting for this diagnosis but we did get it nothing changes there except we started to work on an individual educational plan in the school we were looking, we got a plan, we got a meeting every six months for about 30 minutes to an hour it's insufficient for a child who has not got a difficulty let alone someone who has the whole area was disconnected everybody was working everyone was funded differently and information was tripled and we struggled to find out what was actually happening in the space but then you add in the stigma, ridicule, bullying it's massive we had to do something about it now I was looking, there was 200 guys on a similar journey Brendan and Anthony Morrissey co-founders at Hyderslexic so what is Hyderslexic and that's probably where Hyderslexic is a social educational application it's the world's first social network built here in Ireland for people living and working with dyslexia and ADHD it's the same place for people to share their experiences tell their story because you don't have that on social media if you have it spelling mistakes, people are picking on you there's trolls out there that will actually pick up on little things you can't be free you can be free on our site we also have a geo mapping feature to connect people from all over the world Mackenzie actually found a friend who he now goes horse riding with on a Saturday morning and it's fantastic they're similar, they're very similar so it's two tiggers in the one stage but it's interesting but we've also built in, we're not just a social network we've built in a secure online classroom for people, parents teachers, case workers, mentors coaches to come together and work on that individual plan so you no longer have to wait for six months for a meeting and when you get to that meeting you don't know what way you're going because you try to pave it and it's no good it's like Groundhog Day, it's starting all over again but the fact that you can now get in and work on a child's plan 24-7 the case workers and the professionals are telling us that the difference it's making for them is that they are no longer logistical managers because they have to arrange meetings with all the people involved they can just see more people this is a little video hi there welcome to iDyslexic a new super cool social community for those living and working with dyslexia and ADHD meet new friends just like you share your story while here check out an iDyslexic secure classroom with iDyslexic the future is bright especially designed to connect parents, students, teachers and case workers to help with student IEP progress communication be part of something great sign up for your free account today available on iOS and Android we got a message last week from and took the place of staff that we could never think of and we're only up and running since this time last year we only launched in December 2018 the impact as I said is massive because we're working on artificial intelligence to help students learn the way they learn and help teachers teach the way students learn it's very important work for them and I'm absolutely thrilled to be involved with it the social partners really is we're connecting everyone in this place we're bringing them together so like a parent in the start of the journey they know where to go to just go on time to dyslexic and then the whole gambler of everything to do with dyslexia and ADHD is there but we're also levelling the playing field for people who are in the North University space by using AI we are creating the environment to level that space to learn at their own pace in a safe place it's very important we're enabling people to learn the way teachers teach and the way people learn again as I said it's a safe place for people with learning difficulties to flourish but it's access 24x7 and the benefits as I said can be seen not just with parents and case workers but students, schools and everyone involved you'll be familiar with a lot of these spaces up here and this is the brilliant thing is everyone talks about superpowers superpowers for people with ADHD and dyslexia are not technically superpowers it's the environment and the circumstances that you create enabling people to flourish and that's exactly what we're doing about dyslexia we're enabling people to flourish in a safe space even though dyslexia won't that's McKenzie so it's social tech and I'm absolutely delighted that you asked us to come and talk to them social tech for good is really really important and we're at the forefront of this and it's brilliantly like ourselves that can change the way tech is delivered out there right now we have great opportunity to build technology to support and help people I put this in top technology trends because I try to influence people's thoughts so it's the way we're going it is a trend and we want to be there so what I'm asking you to do today is everyone sitting here you don't have to do it right now but 20% of your social network 20% of people on your social network possibly could have a learning difficulty so all I'm asking you to do is later on today is to download a free app and tell your network all about dyslexia because it could be a family member it could be a friend it could be a colleague it could be people on that network who are hiding because of the fear of losing a job because that's what happens when people find out you have a learning difficulty you're looked upon as different we're not, we are fantastic and we have a brilliant message to give is to change and make a difference and make a really difference when you come on to dyslexia you can verify it so that's why we're safe so you have to show your credentials with verified, true face recognition and everything else so what we're trying to do is connect a disconnected word thank you


to talk about some of the market action. Let's jump over to our man, Teddy Kegstad. Folks, you can check out Teddy's outstanding newsletter, the Tiger 4X report. He has got new issues out every Monday, updates throughout the week when warranted. You can sign up for $97. It comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee. You get it for a full month, folks.  You can't go wrong. Head on over there and check it out while we're talking to our man, Teddy Kegstad. Teddy Kegstad, good morning. Good morning, Tommy. All right, we're gonna kick it off with the end, man. We got it. So listen, great conversation last week, man. Kudos to you. You've had some great calls. We were all looking for, potentially, that first hike since 2007. You came out, you said, listen, there is definitely some area here. We are way away from where the Bank of Japan will step in. There might be some pressure, and boy, it seems like it played out to a tee. We're pushing 152, which is pretty remarkable on the heels of that first hike, but now we're coming into 152. What do you think of some of that action? Pretty remarkable. Well, for sure, the Bank of Japan, I'm sure, is not happy with where the US dollar yen is trading at right now.  So they're not going on a hawkish bender or anything, okay? Well, I mean, it's just the reality of things. Oh, the chart. I mean, so, but right now, I'd be careful with the spike. What's going on? It's more dollar-driven, I think, than anything. So we're making a new high, yes, that's true. We're above the 150 critical level for the US dollar yen relationship, and I think a lot of that has to do with the fact that it's not so much that the dollar is so strong, but think about the interest rate, reality of what's going on now. We've been talking about the fact that we've already been right about them pushing out the cuts, okay? And now they're talking about maybe not doing as many cuts. Even if they were to do three or four, like there were expectations of them doing many more over the whatever time period to confront of us, it's not happening. The reality is, we're at where they want us to be no matter what is the floor. To cut is more of an emergency kind of situation where right now, any type of cutting they do is gonna be a short-term little relief before they start raising again. I mean, it's just a fact. This is the way things are going. We need to have that pricing. People are under this false illusion that interest rates are supposed to be at zero. No, they're not. That's actually not true whatsoever. It's one of the worst things that you can do to an economy, because you don't have any room. So even if we do get, let's say the three cuts, we've already factored in one and a half to two cuts already in the pricing of the market, okay? So that means that, and I guarantee you that the closer we get to the summertime, and right now, every money manager this year has been probably coddling all the people that have been getting crushed on their bond funds for the past year and a half, saying, oh, you got the summer to look forward to and maybe even start putting more money in because they're gonna start cutting rates. That's a trap. It's a trap. I mean, no matter what, think about where, if you look at where we were in trading in, you know, just in pricing, okay, where we were last fall, you know, that's when we knew that the hiking that was over, we're wondering when are they gonna start cutting? We know that that's been getting pushed out, but we've bounced already to a point where we've absorbed what they're basically going to do. So what does that leave as far as where's your expectations going to be? Like for housing, we have existing home sales coming up on Friday, I believe. So that's a big number. These numbers are gonna continue to be influenced. You wanna talk about whether inflation comes into their market or not. We can see that through oil and other things, but the real estate market is not going to get that kind of like fueling surge that they think that they're going to get.   Well, when you're coming up from zero, the relationship, I mean, from a quarter point, a quarter point discount rate, and you go to a half a point, well, that's 100% jump in interest rates. It's still only a quarter point, you know? So, and I think that people guys start looking at those relationships. I mean, like today, you can tell by the spreads between the two, five and 10, that everyone's waiting on Powell to speak. But then what are your real expectations for pricing? I mean, the bonds and the interest rate market are probably just establishing a wide range trade where we know that the floor has been set, for sure, until they start raising again. But as far as how much higher they're gonna go, I mean, in yields going down, we're almost there. If we have, we probably haven't hit that high yet, well, we're close to it. And once we hit that, you know, let's say we're at the point where they start cutting, we're gonna probably hit the cycle where the after the first interest rate cut happens, we might go a little bit higher in pricing in the interest rate quadrant. And I guarantee you, before they're done cutting, we'll have already set the high and been trying, in the market, we pushing yields higher. That's most likely what'll happen because of where we're priced at, you know? And this is a big thing for the dollar. So, the dollar right now is fueled by the nice rally that you've seen, or excuse me, the nice sell-off you've seen in the Treasury markets over the last week. That's kind of starting to subside, you know? Obviously it's Fed Day today, we'll be free and clear after that for a little while, but I wouldn't have too high of an expectations for the trend right now, you know? And that also gets back to the US dollar yen where we're at also, you know? We know that we're not hiking, you know? So, I think right now, you're just gonna see a blow off high here. I'd be very careful if you're long the US dollar yen, I'd be very, very cautious with your risk right now. I wouldn't wanna sell into this right now, wait for a sell signal, but we're at a point where we could see a nice little inversion. We've had a nice trend. I mean, think about the rally that we've had in the US dollar yen over the last two and a half weeks. We went from 146 to pushing 152 today. That's a big move. And the only thing that happened was that BOJ finally raised rates for the first time in 17 years. We haven't done anything and we're waiting on an expectation of cutting rates. So that means the fundamentals now are pointing, saying, hey, I'm not trying to say call a top, but we're topping as far as the fundamentals. There's no fundamental drive to say that the US dollar is gonna gain strength because of rate hikes. That's not happening. We know that the US dollar yen, they're pretty much probably done doing anything for a while, they're gonna wait and see. At least I would think three, four to five months before they have any more action. So be careful with the swings. US dollar yen, it's a nice balance and we're pushing the high that we set back in what was it around November 15th when we were trading just above where we're trading at right now today. So we can spike above that. I'd just be really cautious. Anyone that thinks we're going to like 170 or something like that and not that it can't happen. The fundamentals aren't lining up like that. So I mean, we'll see. They just announced a lot of wage increases also in Japan for the first time in a very long time across the board. So we'll see how these things impact their economy and things like that. Like it's not gonna happen overnight. So I think you're gonna see volatility with the US dollar yen. I'm still a soft bull, but I'm not bearish, but I'm certainly not gonna be a really gung-ho bull on this one. Man, that was an awesome nine minutes. Can you hang with us for the break? We'll come back, talk to maybe the Euro, talk to some others. Folks, head on over to the front page of TFNN. You got three minutes during the break. You heard the great information. Check out the Tiger Forex report. We'll come back with Teddy. We'll finish up the show. We get the yen right now, putting it 151.74. We'll be right back. Welcome back, folks. We got the SMEs, negative by four. NASDAQ 100 off by about single digits. We got the 10-year yield sitting right at about 4.3, 4.3%. And Teddy, I wanted to get your take maybe on crude. Pretty interesting. We just saw an 83 price point on crude. We've seen some higher highs and some higher lows. Could potentially complicate the situation when you get into some of the inflation numbers. What do you think of that crude price? Well, we had the breakout. We were talking about this last week that if we would stay above $79, around $80, and get a close, we should see higher move highs. We got that. Right now, in the Tiger Forex report, we're right in the middle of our critical resistance zone. I think we could still chop around this 81 to 84.50 area. Probably for a couple more sessions. I think you're going to find some nice resistance here. It'll probably digest. I don't see it really selling off. I mean, today, the way it was looking earlier was like you might want to have a nice reversal, but we have to see how it closes. If we could maybe settle near the lows of where we had already today, not necessarily making new lows, then maybe we get a nice little profit-taking slide. But overall, higher move highs and higher move lows. I would say unless we get below $78 and close below that, I wouldn't be too bearish on crude right now. I think you're going to have to be pretty much neutral to higher as far as direction for the crude market. I have a euro trade for you. Perfect. Let's do it. Wrap it up with a euro. What do we got? All right, so we know that last week when we talked, we were coming off of a higher move high. That higher move high in the euro-US dollar is a very significant high right now. Reason being, if the market reverses gears and rallies back to that level and takes it out, that means the longer-term bull trend, at least even on a big range trade bias, is very strong. Meaning that you'll probably see the euro-US dollar get back to about the 111 area, maybe even push new highs that we take out the highs from last Christmas time. But today and yesterday, we were bobbing right above our monthly directional pivot level from the Tiger Forex report at 108.34. So now the key here is, will we get below that area? If we settle below that, then yeah, we can see a nice little slide, but I'd be careful right now because we're hitting, we're on strong support for that one. Man, I appreciate the clarity with those numbers, man. You make it so clear, folks. That's how he makes it in the Tiger Forex report. Go over there and check it out at tfnn.com. Teddy, thanks so much, man. We look forward to talking next week. Have a great one. Sounds good. Take care, Tommy.


I thought I would discuss absorption refrigeration I have got some numbers these numbers are from I forget which book I took it from but these are numbers from basically I will put the picture down and put the numbers in now we have I am going to discuss this was omitted earlier when I discussed refrigeration we discussed vapor compression but we did not discuss absorption. I postpone this because we needed to discuss solutions enthalpy concentration variations in vapor compression you have a throttle valve in which the liquid refrigerant is throttle and comes out at very low temperature you have liquid here comes out at a lower pressure this is p high this is p low this passes through a heat exchanger which absorbs heat from the surroundings thereby cooling it and this is vapor here this is still liquid and this is vapor this vapor is then compressed I think it is you do some work on it W s dot I have some liquid at some m dot some flow rate this compressed liquid is then cooled in a heat exchanger where heat is removed and this is a vapor compression refrigeration in absorption refrigeration this part of the cycle remains the same this part with absorption refrigeration exactly like in vapor compression refrigeration you have a pure liquid that comes in here at this stage this is compressed this is still vapor this vapor is cooled and condensed in this liquid at some rate m dot is throttled to a lower pressure so this pressure is p high it works between two pressures so on the thermodynamic diagram pure fluid diagram the process looks like this you want to label these points a before throttling b c and d so a before throttling b c and d in absorption refrigeration what you do is just turn the same thing around it is this part is the same I still have the throttling part I have another heat exchanger this part is common then this in this case usually the refrigerant is a fluorohedrocarbon or a variation various refrigerants now R103A and so on some refrigerant I have what you do is take in this case it is usually ammonia I will put down some numbers I have got the numbers from the ammonia diagram I put the numbers here for example typically this point is what have I called it here I think I will relabel these things b is your throttle heat exchanger what these equivalent numbers are this before this is I have called this c if you do not mind let us change some of these labels alone because for absorption refrigeration I have got this notation this is c after the after throttling it is d and before the throttling it is c it is b wait a minute yeah it is c and then before this this is b and this is a that means the corresponding points here before c and d this is cd then throttling then heat exchanger d this is evaporation d to a and a to b bc d a is common to the absorption refrigeration so I label these points this is b this is c then I have d after this this is a here I have an absorber this is usually ammonia ammonia comes out of the it is after throttling this is the place where the heat is picked up this is cooling this is high pressure this is low pressure so these two pressures this pressure and this pressure are determined this is p high this is p low these are determined by the thermodynamic properties of ammonia and the temperatures you want for example in absorption refrigeration typically it is large industrial applications to try to keep this at 10 degrees c at 10 degrees f and the other one will be room temperature 80 degrees roughly so the corresponding saturation pressures are the saturation pressures of ammonia corresponding to those temperatures so those two are fixed so this part is still the same a bc d a is the same instead of using a compressor you do it slightly differently compressing a gas requires much more energy than pumping a liquid and also you take advantage of enthalpy changes during absorption what I have here is a liquid is water in this ammonia comes in it is absorbed here so a concentrated solution of ammonia will be taken out here this is got all numbers so I want to keep the labels the same this is g and this is typically this is a centrifugal pump so it is shown in flow sheets and this is pumped up to what is called a regenerator from the regenerator it comes down I will put down some concentrations and we will describe the whole process because I have some work here and describe the whole process again this is absorber this is regenerator and what comes out here is ammonia negligible amount of water so this part of the cycle right hand side is the same as the upper part of this cycle except instead of the refrigerant I have ammonia instead of R103104 etc use ammonia as the refrigerant this part I will put down some numbers to give you a feel this is works between 10 and 70 degrees F so this is at 10 degrees F this is at 70 degrees F the corresponding high pressure will be saturation pressure of ammonia at 70 degrees F this is the saturation pressure of ammonia at 10 degrees F and I will put some numbers down directly at this the regenerator this thing is at 175 degrees F within parenthesis I will put down enthalpy values I will tell you where I got them from one chart is coming to you now this part is pure ammonia so you just have to take the pH chart and read the enthalpies on it just I have these numbers I have read I have just put it down here and this one is 70 degrees 70 is that the outlet and then this is 122 is the enthalpy all the enthalpies are in BTU per pound refrigeration industry still works primarily in British units then I have throttling the temperature here is F and the enthalpy is 122 it is enthalpy this here after the heat has been absorbed it is this is just evaporation so it is still at 10 degrees F but the enthalpy 613 that represents a latent heat of evaporation of ammonia when you go through then after absorption what you get is a saturation this temperature is 70 degrees F it is heated essentially in the absorber the temperature goes up to 70 degrees F with an enthalpy of minus 25 in the same in the concentration as 46.5 percent ammonia this is by weight of ammonia this is pumped in the condition here the enthalpy here is minus 24.7 from minus 25 to minus 24.7 that is all it takes to pump a liquid in the regenerator outlet this is E this is 175 degrees F and 35.7% by weight of ammonia that is all I need so this is 10 this is 175 this is the liquid coming back this is water with 3735.7% this absorbs more ammonia and the concentration of ammonia increases to 46.5% these temperatures this 10 degrees in 175 depending on the amount of each substance you go to get a final temperature of what 70 degrees F this is pumped here in the ammonia that comes out here is 175 degrees finally comes to I suppose 70 degrees is what I should put down when I say high pressure it is at 70 corresponding to the temperature is 70 only here at the outlet similarly it is not 10 in the heat exchangers low pressure is at 10 degrees I think that is all I need then I have some numbers here okay for the absorption part I have given you a chart there as chart is from I think it is dowboards thermodynamics book but it is also available in Perry more comprehensive chart is available in chemical engineers handbook should realize when you look at enthalpy this is absorption and essentially by heating it you are reducing the solubility so you are removing the ammonia from there the big difference between that and this looks much more complicated but you have a compression huge compressor for gases here for the vapor phase here you have only a pump which is much more rugged and the work for pumping a liquid is much less than the work required for compressing a gas from here to here so you are hopefully you have less this thing and because the pump maintenance is trivial this part of it these are only stationary devices this part of it is maintained easily for large scale refrigeration even now this is what is used now let me do the calculations for this part I have got a table of numbers but let me explain if you have a concentration a solution the enthalpy of a solution of ammonia in water typically would be simply I use x1 h1 or I should use small h1 plus x2 h2 plus delta h of mixing this is measured in a typical chart like this will assume h1 equal to this is pure say this is ammonia let us say this is water 2 is water these charts are prepared so when you mix charts you have to be careful h1 at some reference temperature equal to 0 similarly h2 it could be a completely different reference temperature equal to 0 I will call this reference T1 reference T2 but if you take differences between two points in the chart your enthalpy differences are what you will use but when you use it in conjunction with a pure ammonia chart you have to make sure that in the ammonia chart also the enthalpy has the same reference value. So this part of the data you will get from a pure ammonia chart this part of the data this side left side you get from enthalpy concentration diagrams actually the part of the diagram that you will use here is very very small part of this whole diagram I have given you you first of all you will use only the saturated liquid part of it it is a function of temperature it should actually strictly be a function of pressure as well but the properties of the condensed phase are negligibly dependent on pressure. So really pressure would not come into this thing so you will find there is a saturated liquid curve you take 60 degrees for example curve the 60 goes out take 100 for example at 100 degrees F this saturated liquid has a concentration of 0.7 right 0.7 in this case this is mass fraction so it is 70% by weight of ammonia for ammonia water system these two are approximately the same because the molecular weights are 17 and 18 so mole fraction and mass fraction would not be very different but anyway about 70% is the saturated solution represents a saturated solution of ammonia and water by weight so in this case you have in the absorber when the ammonia comes out here this is in the case of the thing what you do is simply your this is your refrigerator in the refrigerator there is a coil to which of a the heat is absorbed from the outside so the temperature outside is maintained at 10 degrees actually in practice if this is 10 this temperature outside will be about 12 or 13 degrees you will have some differential actually 5 degrees F typically so 15 degrees will be the refrigeration temperature so this will pick up the heat and this is essentially isobaric it is just at one pressure it is evaporation so this is pure vapor ammonia which is bubbled through water this absorber design is important they will have various devices for making sure that the ammonia is mixed well with the liquid so what you get out of it is a saturated solution of ammonia at the temperature that you have that comes out of this balance at 70 degrees you can read the saturation temperature here you know gas solubilities will decrease as the temperature goes up so here let us assume that read this as the saturation concentration I will double check on that but the thing the nature of the graph is correct there will be lines representing the saturated liquid and you should be able to read the saturation temperature from that at this solubility point I think there is a shift in numbers there but you will find differences will probably be the same come back to it so at 70 degrees F 46.5 is the concentration of ammonia and you pump this up here essentially you have to provide heating this there will be a heater here where you supply heat this thing will be heated to 175 degrees as is shown 175 degrees this is the solubility I will put down these numbers this is solubility at 175 at 70 degrees F is 46.5 percent by weight of ammonia and at 175 degrees F this is 35.7 so I have some numbers to be calculated this quantity the quantity that is flowing here is x I have to get my notation right where I just put down numbers here yeah this this circulation rate is m dot everywhere here it is m dot this is x and this is y that is the question is what are x and y given this these are the conditions that are given the user specifies 10 degrees here and 70 degrees here because this is when you lose heat to the air to the atmosphere so if this is if the outside temperature 80 degrees F you will get about 70 here and similarly if you keep this at 10 you probably get even 20 15 or 20 degrees inside the refrigerator so these are user specifications this determines the pressure automatically this temperature determines the pressure this temperature determines the low pressure in this case the pressures are also given this pressure at 70 it is 128 and 38 this is 128 pounds per square inch absolute and low pressure is 38 pounds per square inch absolute these are this whole thing is from the ammonia chart so working between two pressures 38 PSA and 128 PSA now this part is what you have to design you have an absorber and a regenerator and what you are asked is what are x and y and of course the total m dot this enthalpy that you pick up from the refrigerator is fixed per unit mass of ammonia because it comes from this chart here this is the amount that you pick up you are looking at after throttling you are looking at this part right HA-HD is the enthalpy per pound that is picked up so your total refrigeration demand divided by this will give you m dot so this this m dot is fixed again in the design of the refrigeration unit so let me put down this chart you can verify this my suggestion is I am sorry that this chart turned out to be the wrong one please look at perry handbook of chem have you ever looked at this book you cannot graduate without looking at the book it is called handbook of chemical engineers and it is still finally the book you refer to when you actually go to industry and do any design the thing is it is fairly boring but if you are life dependent on it becomes terribly interesting because if your boss says design this and if you do not design it in one week you lose your job that one week you will read perry like nobody's business and you will have great value for it how wonderful in this book is what information is actually everyone of us gets used to one edition I have got used to the fourth edition but a lot of the data is the same in subsequent editions also a lot of it is thermo chemical data I do not know if this is available actually I am so outdated in terms of ICT that I do not know if this is available online I have to double check I have not it is available online should be biologically so you can look it up in your own thing then the chart will appear and I have got this I took it from the fourth edition I do not know why anybody would want to steal a fourth edition from me but let me I will check who has it this is okay the basis here is enthalpy H of ammonia you know I told you about the reference the basis in the H ammonia enthalpy of pure ammonia saturated liquid at minus 40 degrees F is equal to 0 we can check that here if you look at this is mass fraction of ammonia if you look at mass fraction equal to 1 you get the enthalpies at saturated liquid at minus 40 degrees this is given you saturated actually you cannot see it in this 160 goes in steps of 40 so you can sort of extrapolate I still cannot it seems in this case the enthalpy comes to below 0 right on the chart on the x y axis 0 is actually does not correspond to saturated liquid in any temperature but it corresponds to something like just below the saturated liquid at 100 degrees something but 140 degrees so there is a translation of numbers here so this chart does not give you these numbers but let me put down the chart table here I am going to say state this is C D A G F I should have made a I can make a Xerox copy of this or I will print it out for you because I have scribbled all over it this is 70 degrees F 10 and 10 then 70 again and 175 70 twice 175 175 and double check this the pressure here is 128 38 38 this is PSIA and then 128 38 3 times the rest is 128 then the enthalpy here this is 122 122 then 613 minus 25 minus 24.7 we have two more 80 and 696 then weight percent is 3 or 100 percent this is pure ammonia when you begin the solutions G is 46.5 and then last two or this is where is B B is 100 percent again and before B this is 35.7 okay and then the flow rate for these three it is m dot and then for G this is X as I have marked there then it is X again F is also X then this is Y and again m dot do all the calculations per ton of refrigeration this you starting here at C this is m dot at 70 degrees F at 128 PSIA and enthalpy of 122 enthalpy remains the same across the throttling process you still have 122 but the temperature is 10 degrees and the pressure here is 38 PSIA then passes through the refrigeration refrigerator where it picks up the heat and the enthalpy at A is 613 so if you want the m dot let us say 1 ton of refrigeration you know this is 200 BTU per minute or 12000 BTU per hour divided by your enthalpy at A minus enthalpy at D this is 613 minus 122 okay this is your m dot got this tell me what the value is but I have done this it is just H C minus H B I made a mistake here circulation rate is determined here and tell me this value you have to work this number out if you made some mistakes no this is all right this comes to 24.4 pounds per hour correct this is okay H A minus H B but 524 is all right 24.4 this is your evaporator this is your condenser so you calculate your condenser heat load Q C dot is simply this 24.4 into the difference enthalpy between C and B that is 696 and 122 this will be as far as system is concerned there it is losing heat there will be a minus sign this comes to 14 minus 14000 BTU per hour then if you do a balance around the absorber this is the calculation that you do to calculate these quantities you need to know how much of water has to be used in circulation you will get m is equal to x plus y or m dot is equal to x plus y and not m dot sorry m dot plus y is equal to x y is coming in m dot is coming in m dot plus y is equal to x and then m dot into H A enthalpy at A plus y into enthalpy at E the energy balance is equal to x into enthalpy at G now m dot is known and all these enthalpies are known you can play around with these temperatures if you like but these are just happen this 70 is prescribed you can play around with 175 you can go up or down 10 degrees 15 degrees and so on point is to get a significant difference in the solubility 46.5 is that difference is what will give you the difference in the enthalpy of absorption you get essentially these are heat effects in absorption and D absorption if you like I have solved this you can double check these numbers you get 145.4 for x this comes to 145.4 and your y is 121 your pump work W s dot is between see this is adiabatic pumping W s dot is simply delta H minus delta H so enthalpy 24.7 minus 25 so you get 0.3 in this is your this is your enthalpy per pound into 24.4 which is m dot comes to 72 something the matter here is 24.4.3 is the enthalpy difference that is correct but it should be multiplied by x that is the mistake you are right x is 145.4 you are right that comes to 46 you can with numbers this is your BTU per hour whereas your vapor compression if you are done vapor compression you would have to take it from this enthalpy of 613 to 696 directly and 613 to 696 is what so compare CF W s dot for vapor compression 1696 minus 613 which is 83 but into m dot only this case m dot is 24.4 it comes to 2229 that is the difference usually used in large installations basically ammonia is toxic for use in homes so it is only industrial this thing where safety can be guaranteed that they use this absorption refrigeration very large devices but you can see the big difference in the work required any questions basically I just go through this this part of it is identical so there is nothing to discuss here it is identical with your vapor compression refrigeration it is fairly trivial this is the only part that you replace you go through absorption process at the end of the absorption you look at the enthalpies here a enthalpies you go from 613 now I am looking at a to g I have gone to an enthalpy of minus 25 here and then I go through a regeneration goes from effectively g I do not have a label for this is this f we have called it f I have an f there yeah that is g to f is a negligible thermodynamic change but f splits into two streams at 175 there so from f you going to e f to e enthalpy changes from 24 point minus 24.7 to 80 there is heat addition here I do not have to put a coil here there is heat addition here and heat removal Q regenerator this is heat removal here Q absorber that those numbers also have calculated absorber comes to write it here Q absorber is 28297 Q regenerator is 30279 these are big numbers remember this is what you have fixed Q evaporator is fixed this is one term this is this 12000 BTU per hour you are comparing vapor compression with absorption refrigeration for the same refrigeration load so you are going to buy two more heat exchange essentially what people do in practice is these two streams are heat exchanged this is what in chemical industry that is what makes it so confusing this is the process but in practice you have this going up you are going to add heat here you are going this is coming out at 70 degrees this is coming down at 175 degrees and you want to cool it so what you will do is heat exchange these two streams you will have one stream will be the in the shell side one stream will be in the tube side of a heat exchanger and so instead of 175 you will come down here at 160 or 150 and there will be a corresponding rise in temperature here so this load will go down this heat removed will be less this kind of optimization is done all the time in chemical industry that is why when you go to an actual chemical industry you think it is it looks like a large number of pipes connected to a few equipment does not look like equipment with pipes attached to it the number of pipes are so large in the final is alone you will have about 1000 kilometers of piping typically I will stop there

Pada masa yang sama, ada weiter masalah yang kita melihat dalam sebuah dunia adalah bahagian luar untuk jangkaan dari masa ini. Ini sebenarnya bahagian yang sebenar, compared the rainfall station in the urban area and rural area near Kuala Lumpur by Lee. So it is clear that from 1990 to 2010, the intensity in the millimetre power is increasing in the urban area, most likely because of more particles that become or aerosol that actually have the formation of rainfall, rain drop in the urban area as compared to in rural area which is slightly increased but not as obvious as in the urban area. Another issue is that our data also suggests that the future rainfall data is expected to be more intense. So we have particle in the urban as well as the climate change also suggests that actually the future rainfall will be more intense compared to the historical record. To the extent that we have to change the intensity duration curve and also change the standard for designing hydraulic structure. And if we look at other issues, many urban areas actually is sinking like Jakarta, Bangkok, Manila because of load or burden on the surface by building and so on. Also because of extraction of groundwater and another important issue is increasing sea level rise also expected to increase. So it's already increasing but with climate change the rate will be faster. Now actually in Malaysia for example, the rate is about 0.08 to 0.29 by 2040 but by 2100 it is expected to increase by 0.3 to 1.06 meter depending on the location. In the east Malaysia it's expected to see a larger sea level rise. So basically all this actually challenge if you were to manage a flood in the urban area. Before we try to propose mitigation measure, I think it's important for us to understand what is the type of flood. First maybe we can say flash flood which is localized. Normally in the case of Kuala Lumpur at the big city we have 70 mm of rain portal. We can expect some area will be flooded. Then during monsoon period when the rainfall is more homogeneous and widespread, we can expect flood due to river overflow. River overflow, this is normally involve much bigger area, rainfall in the upstream, rainfall in the whole basin that actually produce very large amount of flood water and then that cross overflow and flooding. The situation normally become more severe when the heavy rainfall and then the river overflow coincide with tidal. So basically the tidal increase and then higher, there is tidal and therefore the flood water cannot be evacuated to the stream as during non tidal. So basically when heavy rainfall and tidal occur, the flood will be actually more severe. So back to the, what is the prospect of taking vegetation to reduce flood or flash flood in the urban area. Normally in assessing this we have term like storage capacity or initial loss of the catchment. This is basically the amount of rain water that can be intercepted by canopy and also rain water that can be infiltrated and absorbed by the soil. So this is analysis by my student, basically comparing the hydrogic loss in term of storm flow volume compared to the rainfall intensity. So we plot during rainy season and during dry season, we can have two different, we call it storage capacity. So during rainy season, the forest can accommodate about 40 mm of rainfall. In dry season, the forest can accommodate more up to 60 mm of rainfall. So basically for natural forest, the ability of the forest ecosystem or forest catchment to absorb rainfall ranging from 35 to 60 mm of rainfall. If the rainfall beyond this value, basically the excess water will become storm water or flood water. For forest partition, the storage capacity is reduced, which is between 22 to 40 mm, and all the palm is belas, now we've got 10 mm. So basically depending on the type of vegetation, the layer of canopy, the soil depth, the hydrogic loss or initial of hydrogic capacity, the storage capacity will vary from side to side. So this is very important so that we can understand what is the limitation of vegetation in flood control. If the flood, if the rainfall is so heavy, let's say in our case, during major flood, it is quite common to have 400 to 500 mm of rainfall within 3 days. So basically the first day, the soil is saturated, the canopy is saturated, the excess water actually will actually go to the stream of the river as flood water. So that is the limitation. So how can we actually increase the storage capacity of urban area? Of course we can increase by providing more pervious area, we can have proper parking lot, pervious parking lot, or we can increase the storage capacity by possibly introducing, of course planting more trees. Now we have green roof for example, vertical garden, even though it's limited because the capacity of, if the flood is small, it's short, so basically the capacity of the plant to absorb rainwater is actually limited as compared to forested vegetation. So I think the best way is to use whatever, whatever space that we have, we don't have enough space on the ground, we can also use space on the roof, vertical garden and so on to capture whatever amount of rainfall before it released to the ground. Then of course this is limited because I mentioned the canopy storage is less and then the area is also limited. We have to couple that with program like rainwater harvesting, like what is it by Pajaria just now at Platini Park. We can collect the water on the ground, big tanks, so there are many examples of that that can be used for water supply at the same time that can reduce flood in the urban area. Or we can have detention or detention pond, detention is basically dry pond, detention is wet, or we can have wet land to actually capture flood water. So in the case of river overflow, I think the best way is to have flood levee, something like this, flood levee, this is an example of this but I think for urban forestry community, they can make use of the space between the riverbank to the levee for regression, for planting trees and so on. I think you can see this kind of example, many of this kind of example in, for example in Japan, Korea, where we have tennis court, jogging track, along the riverbank. My apology, we have to be a little bit quicker, sorry. Okay, okay, okay. So basically we have to make, we can choose this, we can have this opportunity to beautify the river banks before the levee so that actually can incorporate the urban forestry element. Okay, there are of course garland such as urban water management by our Department of Irrigation in Malaysia, as well as the water harvesting garland. So basically as conclusion, I think in order to make the flood control effective in urban area, we have to combine both the engineering and the non-enjuring approach, including the opportunity to introduce the forestry in urban area. With that, thank you so much.


I don't know the front one's one that's bad You know like a tire starts going When I knew it was flat that little short Four-way, but this is better or nothing. I guess he passed out or fainted or whatever so they had to take so she had to Take her mom to the hospital to change the tire now.   So so we're at the hospital. She's picking up her mom Then we got to go back to her mom's house get our truck and we can head home I'll show you the hospital here place called the villages came to this hospital like twice when I was sick so But the last time they didn't do anything for me But anyway, so I don't know what's going on with her dad or how long he's gonna be in here before he can go back to rehab For his leg. So I don't know at this this little short abandon clip on the lighter side I'm going to throw into this video for you. It's just a real quick one, but So I think it used to be a restaurant or a bar or something, but anyhow, you'll see it. So anyway guys Thanks for watching appreciate it. Remember she bear the myth the man the legend. I'm gone for now. Bye. Bye guys This is all cave and in somebody's been in here Part 10 Rousal cave and in I'm guessing a restaurant or bar judging from these lights here This is we're back around the back. So ain't much to say, but I'm guessing Used to be a restaurant or bar looks like people party in there now It's a quick one for you


Hi everybody it's Eric Johnson and in today's video we are going to be back in our driveway setting going over power position. Now in the last video we talked about discus throw and how to improve your stand throw and in today's video we're going to talk about again how to improve your stand throw for the shot. Today what we're going to do is when we talked about the discus and we set the angle we talked about setting your heel toe position starting from the right reaching to the left versus starting from here and reaching to the right and we explained why and today what we're going to do is the same thing we're going to start from the middle we're going to be able to stretch and then what we're going to do is we're going to be focusing on our shot setup and we're going to be getting over and we're going to you're going to notice how I'm pulling and I'm going to drop down into double loaded legs. Now one of the things we talk about is we're getting on top of the axis but the implement is not out here the implement is here so one of the things we're going to be focusing on is as we get over we're pulling that shot out and we're getting down here and you're going to notice how there's an angle and so this way I can turn.  The key thing smaller circle implement sitting on top of us we want to be sitting over the axis the same way but we want to see more of this so we're deeper on the legs. I think that's going to be one of the key things. A couple of simple tips for improving your shot. We get a number of our athletes we see kind of struggle with this. Remember the shot carry for the rotational shot is higher on the neck because you're coming through and you're keeping here. You want that thumb down elbow up you're always here if this drops you get kind of this position you're going to lose that striking ability you're going to lose and disengage the pec. When I keep the thumb down and the elbow up I'm going to hit that pec more and that's the bigger muscle and that's going to help me strike the shot. When I do this I disengage the pec some and I'm going to start using more delt and the delt is clearly a smaller muscle we want to use that big pec muscle and we want to have the back engage. Now the other thing is is we want to make sure that we have the shot elbow behind you so you need the scap here so if you notice when I'm here if you're looking from this camera angle you shouldn't see if you're looking from this side you can kind of see where my arm is this is where you get some kids too the elbow comes forward and it drops down and then they're trying to do this and now you're right in that position we just talked about that you don't want thumb is coming up elbow is dropping and you're not getting the same type of strike and you can't get your hips usually at this point when this drops it's going to disconnect we need to be able to keep this back so it's easier to feel the right position here when we're here we're going to deliver the the intuitive response right the reaction is if I drop this I'm going to try to go because you can intuitively kind of sense I can't get much on it so you're never going to get your lower body ahead to be able to strike the shot those are a couple of your key tips and some differences so remember to focus on getting the the scap back so the elbow sits behind and you're going to notice this position right see so if I'm here notice where the elbow is avoid this avoid this don't get here up and back and that's going to be a big thing so as you set in if you're a little inflexible feel your scat pulling back in this is why you see some of the world elite guys and they're super muscular and really powerful dudes so they got big muscles and they're going to take that shot and they're going to they're going to use their other hand to kind of push it back and get it in the right position in the neck and that's what you're going to see what we would again recommend is when you're here get that shot get over get the shot out and feel yourself again on one leg so that you're going to be able to drop on the double loaded legs you're going to be able to pivot and push and drive the hip to the toeboard and that's going to feel that nice position and that carries over to your full throw and remember that's the point of a stand throw there are some things you can do it will teach you to use the legs and potentially add more distance to a stand throw but you're not using the legs the same way you are in a full throw and therefore it's going to train a different pattern and our philosophy is you want to always train the pattern that is going to carry over and translate to your full throw so that you're going to pick up more distance on your full throw and that's our goal okay guys so hopefully you enjoyed that video if you have any questions thrown below things you'd like to see hopefully and dry or enjoying our driveway drills again stay strong stay healthy and we will see you on the next video


So I'm speaking from one of the accounting and consulting firms. Hi Manav. So there's so much of hype now like a year ago, clients, folks who don't know about blockchain and now I get into a meeting and everybody is like, this is it. I've read so much about it, but then I'm wondering, is this the hype that's kind of building into it and I see proof of concepts being done, but is there to be scared that it's at least five years away? It's what I can see. Would blockchains survive that long and what would it take fundamentally one or two examples or events that will actually make it mainstream and people would start talking real things rather than just really hype about it? I think you're absolutely right. The hype around blockchain is entirely out of sync with the actual implementations with one exception. That exception is the Bitcoin blockchain. You could also say perhaps with two exceptions, because Ethereum has now become a large-scale viable production system with still some growing pains, but definitely something to watch carefully. So there are a couple of really important blockchains in the world today, and other than that we're seeing an enormous amount of hype. I think part of that represents just kind of the general economic conditions. If you have a lot of money, and in many corporations today, a lot of money is the situation because of free money and stimulus and low interest rates that we've been in now for six or seven years, what are you going to invest in? Equities? That's a bubble. Real estate? That's a bubble. Student loans? That's a bubble. Auto loans? That's a bubble. Bonds? That's a bubble. Corporate bonds? That's a bubble. One of the problems we have in all of the Western developed economies is that we have a lot of money chasing very little yields, and that tends to create these exuberances. People looking at blockchain as maybe fintech is the place where we might get some yields. And I think the investment has far outpaced the reality on the ground, which will eventually correct. But if you look at the broader space, you have to realize there are some real blockchains changing things in a very real way. And those blockchains are the open, transnational, borderless, open access, open innovation, permissionless blockchains, such as Bitcoin and Ethereum and others, that are setting the stage for real change with real applications today. A lot of hype, but also a seven-year experiment that refuses to die continues to deliver more and more innovation every year, and will continue to surprise people.


Hello, I'm Bill Perthes, the Bernard C. Watson Director of Adult Education at the Barnes Foundation, and I'd like to welcome you to this week's Barnes Takeout, your weekly serving of art from the Barnes Foundation in Philadelphia. In 1918, as German troops bore down on Paris, the Lithuanian-born Jewish artist Chaim Soutine fled the city heading south, accompanying him were his friend and fellow painter Amadee Bodigliani and his dealer Leopold Zabrowski. Soutine settled in the town of Carey in the foothills of the Pyrenees Mountains where he would stay for about three years. The landscapes that Soutine painted between 1919 and 1922 are some of the most, some of his most prized paintings. Today we go together to Gallery 11 at the Barnes Foundation to look at one of these. So over here towards the corner, it's called Group of Trees and it was painted around 1922. Now, let me bring that up here. Now you would be forgiven if the landscape subject of this picture is not immediately obvious. Indeed, Group of Trees verges on abstraction. I would say actually it is the sort of best example of abstraction, and by that I mean that while it eschews representation, instead it focuses on expressing the and distilling the unique experience that the artist had with his subject. It expresses the intensified perception of Soutine with his landscape. But even if we can't decipher what the subject was, there are some very startling aspects of this picture. So what can we see in this work? Well, for one, we have these curving vertical bands and we see one, two, three, four, maybe five. And these extend from the bottom of the picture all the way up to the top and indeed some of them curves so that they actually hug the very very top of the picture itself. And then between and behind we have this blue triangular shape that moves in a diagonal direction and then running from the bottom of the vertically thrusting bands and then wrapping around the base of the triangular shape is a still thicker band that seems to recede into the picture space. We zoom in and look carefully some of the striking aspects of this picture really present themselves and that's that Soutine is working with wet paint on wet paint. So he's laying one color down and then going right back over it with another color. The consequence of that is an intermixing of color in these skeins and bands of mixed color. It creates a tremendous color interaction and it gives to the picture a very dynamic quality as multiple colors are resonating to our eyes simultaneously. In addition to that and it's a little difficult to see on a reproduction but if I go back to the gallery view and zoom in even though it might get a little distorted you get a somewhat sense or somewhat better sense of another really striking aspect of this picture and actually of many of Soutine's picture and that's the surface quality of it. Not only was Soutine working wet on wet but he was applying paint oftentimes very thickly so that we get this build up, the surface build up of paint what's called impasto so that the paint literally stands off of the surface of the picture giving it a textural quality to the work. So that said what else can we say about this picture even before we try to decipher what the subject or elements of the subject might still be? One thing is that the combined effect of these vertical bands, these curving vertical bands set against this diagonal thrusting triangular blue shape and then with this still thicker band wrapping around it's a sense of writhing agitation. This is a highly active picture as if for instance these bands are almost a chorus of dancers thrusting themselves as they as they march and dance across the picture space. So what might we, how might we interpret this picture? What of the subject might we be able to recognize? Well one could identify these vertical bands as trees now admittedly Soutine has stripped them of all vegetation and really instead concentrated on the linear aspect of the trees, of the trunks and perhaps of some of the branches. The blue diagonal triangular shape one could interpret as a mountain and indeed Coray is as I suggested is a town that's really nestled into the valley of the Pyrenees mountains that's surrounded on almost all sides and so from almost every vantage point one sees the terrain and landscape rising towards the sky and towards the horizon. Now what can we perhaps make of the white and red shapes that seem again to be distributed between and again perhaps behind these vertical linear units? Well given again with a little bit of knowledge of the of the town itself the red may register with the red tile rooftops of buildings and the white perhaps as the the facades of the buildings themselves. Some shapes like this dark shape here or this dark shape here one could interpret as perhaps a door or windows of of buildings. Now admittedly none of that is entirely certain but Soutine Soutine absolutely leaves room for us to to interpret and to to sort of put our own imagination at work in this in this picture. If we go back to the to the gallery and pull back and consider it in the context of the ensemble of of gallery 11 we're looking we're looking south the cluster particularly of the works and objects on to our left again tell us a little bit about both the qualities of the work by Soutine it's paired with another picture by Soutine from around the same time and between them Dr. Barnes has placed a work by Modigliani who as I said earlier was a close friend of Soutine's they oftentimes shared a studio together and it was Modigliani with Zabrowski that Soutine led Paris down to down to correct. The juxtaposition of these pictures is quite telling as well. The Modigliani is in many ways the antithesis of the Soutine's girl in polka dot dress is calm and still and very gentle in its qualities while the Soutines on either side as I said have this writhing sense of of agitation. In many ways not only these pictures but other pictures in this gallery are pictures of contrast of activity and stillness and the sense of of atmosphere that Soutine is suggesting here this is not just any landscape but this is a landscape that also seems to be activated by its environment as if we're witnessing or in the midst of of a storm that is thrashing these trees and perhaps if we read the blue here to the to the side and back as as a sky perhaps sky potentially ready to unleash a storm this again this sense of high activity is conveyed in his work and that stands in strong contrast to to the Modigliani and then finally something I often try to point out because I think it's an aspect of our founder Albert Barnes's personality that sometimes overlooks his sense of humor above the Soutines on either side we have these objects now what they are might not again be entirely clear because Dr. Barnes is definitely taking them out of their context and he's actually combined two pieces together these are actually gutter hooks so they're this part would be nailed against the facade of the building and the triangular part would would hold the gutter along or a roof edge but by combining them the shape that they form is like a like a wind turbine or a windmill again sort of a kind of visual nod to the sense of turbulence of atmospheric turbulence that we sense in the in the picture by by Soutine I focused on Soutine today for a couple reasons one that he's part of our current special exhibition Soutine de Kooning conversation in paint that runs through the 8th of August and I want to encourage you to to visit the exhibition if you can but also because he'll be the focus of two online classes one Soutine's technique that runs from May 5th to May 26th and that will be taught by a conservator who will actually look at the physical nature of Soutine's paintings and the other Soutine in the Barnes collection that runs from June 3rd to the 24th exploring the important place that Soutine plays in the Barnes collection as always I'll remind you that for all Barnes classes we offer scholarships so please take advantage of that if any of these or any other Barnes online class is of interest to you so until our our next Barnes takeout thank you for joining us I'm Tom Collins new Bauer family executive director of the Barnes Foundation I hope you enjoyed Barnes takeout subscribe and make sure your post notifications are on to get daily servings of art thanks for watching and for your support of the Barnes Foundation


Welcome to this video. Today, you're going to learn the difference between do you and are you? Of course, I'm Jennifer from jforrisenglish.com and this channel is dedicated to helping you feel confident speaking English and public so you can take your career and your life to the next level. Now, before we go any further, make sure you subscribe and hit that bell icon so you're notified every time I post a new lesson. Now, let's dive in with this video. In this video, let's talk about the difference between are you and do you. Both of these are question forms in the present simple, but they use different verbs and different structures. So let's begin with are you. Now are of course is the verb to be. So are you is forming a question in the present simple using the verb to be our subject is you. So that's why we need are because that's the conjugated verb to be with our subject you. Now we use the verb to be in the present simple for facts facts about the world or facts about ourselves as well. For example, I could ask you because remember this is a question. So you're going to ask someone about a fact. So I could ask you are you American or British?  Now another fact would be your job. So I can ask you are you a software engineer. Now I could also ask you a fact about your physical description and I could ask you for example are you tall assuming we're chatting and I can't see you so I don't know if you're tall or not and I can ask are you tall. Now let's take a look at the sentence structure because using the verb to be in question form we use something called inversion. So we take our subject and our verb which would be the structure for a positive sentence and we invert them which means we switch them. So our sentence structure for questions using the verb to be in the present simple is verb plus subject plus object. So we know our verb is the verb to be are and we know our subject is you because we're only talking about are so our subject and our verb need to conjugate are you and then I just need my object the question the rest of the sentence are you tall. Now keep that sentence structure in mind while we take a look at do you do you is also a question form in the present simple. The difference is do is an auxiliary verb which means do doesn't have any meaning in that word it's only there grammatically. So to have meaning in the sentence we need a main verb do is the auxiliary verb and we still need a main verb. Now in the present simple I'm going to ask you about yourself or about your routine. So for example I could ask do you live in London. So of course here live is our main verb but I need my auxiliary verb do do you live in London. I can't just do inversion with my subject and verb if I did that it would be live you in London live you in London and we know that isn't grammatically correct for English sentence structure. So we need our auxiliary verb do and do is conjugated with our subject you do you live in London. Another question do you have a dog. So here have is our main verb but I can't say have you a dog. So I need do you have a dog. I need my auxiliary verb do. So compare our two sentence structures because here our sentence structure is auxiliary verb subject main verb auxiliary verb is do because our subject is you and do conjugates with the subject you do you and now we need a main verb but the form of this is the base verb which means it's the infinitive without two. So to live we get rid of two and we have live do you live and then the rest of the sentence the object. So with are you our sentence structure was verb subject object do you our sentence structure is auxiliary verb do subject main verb which is the base verb and then the object they're both used in question form with the present simple and this is something that you absolutely must know to understand basic English sentence structure. So now it's your turn to practice I want you to leave two questions in the comments below one with do you and one with are you and if you found this video helpful please hit the like button share it with your friends and of course subscribe and until next time happy studying. Awesome job with this video you're really getting comfortable basic English grammar and basic English sentence structure make sure you leave those example sentences and I'll see you in my next video bye


Over the last 30 years. Over the last 30 years. Over the last 30 years. Lots of people feel uncomfortable about aid giving, but at the end of the day when you actually think of aid as a resource and when it's used properly, it does pay off like good investments. The overall international aid effort seen as an investment has given a rate of return of 10% per year. So when we started 30 years ago to research these issues, the data were very, very contradictory. It's very hard to get statistically significant evidence when the database is weak. Now that has been building up and that's why we are today now much more certain about being able to find, identify the relationship between aid and overall development. Before 2008, there were more studies saying, well, we can't find the evidence. It doesn't seem to be there. Thus it was concluded that the impact of aid wasn't there. See all of the poor countries that are growing and those who are growing often have aid as an important factor. Take Vietnam, which I have now worked with for 15 years. Vietnam was for years the largest recipient of aid in the world. Everybody says that Vietnam has done very well and I can certainly confirm that. What we're doing now, they're pulling out of Vietnam. So does that mean that aid didn't work? No, it's a signal of success that we no longer have to give aid. If you're trying to change conditions in a country where you have a corrupt government and there are definitely examples of not getting it right. But the important question is, does it pay off overall? And that's what we have shown that it does. It's important to understand that at the end of the day aid is a relatively small share of the overall resource flow. So getting aid right is important. But the big challenge is to get these many other actions that national governments take right. When aid flows are high to a particular country it's only about $25 per person per year. Think about what you can get for $25. That's not per se going to be a complete game changer. You can have a rate of return on the aid of 10%. That doesn't mean that the whole economy is growing by the same rate. It can help transfer or share knowledge. Knowledge is a critical element of development. If you invest in better health services people are going to be surviving and they are going to be more productive. They're going to produce more than they otherwise would. If you are healthy you're stronger and you produce more. So if you make that investment in health services and these people produce more you're going to get a rate of return. That's what we mean. Over the next 30 years in my assessment it's going to continue to play an important role but aid is only one element. The more aid can be catalytic the more it can help promote for example private investment. That's a good thing. Some of the challenges are going to be to make sure that the resources available are used even more effectively because that is indeed possible. It's also going to be to try to use aid in a way that will help governments address those many new challenges that are going to come. For example, the area of climate change. It's going to be very critical that the knowledge that exists in the world is made available to these countries in development. Aid can help promote that exchange of knowledge.
