Good afternoon all. So we have done market research and B-plies separately. So first we are continuing with the fortified wear protein. Next slide please. Wow. So these are our team, Mysore Bhagakapur, Muhammad Fawaz UK, Dr. Rahul sir and Sumit sir. Next slide. So we are covering on the like India market scenario, impact of COVID-19 then trend and growth dividers and global scenario too then research analysis, market strategy and SWAT analysis. Next slide. Wow. So first of all what is the wear protein? So wear protein refers to the blend of global proteins derived from the wear. In normal terms we can say like a liquid that is the product of cheese production, liquid leftover cheese production. Wear contains high protein substance as compared to eggs, soya and other products. So coming to the like India scenario, we know that India is the larger producer of milk and contributes 90% of the world milk production. We are producing 150 tons every year. So if we are covering Indian market scenario after seeing the scenario like we can forecast the data up to 2025 we have seen the CEGR of 11%. So India is one of the fastest developing nation globally, the food sector in the country has growth of threefold during the past decade and expected to grow at the same rate. So these are the major market players, we have shown on the screen like Arla, Glabia, Lectus and Muscle Places also coming up on the 6th. Market trend is going to increase at the CEGR of 11% till 2024. So in India also like in wear protein we are segmented into three parts like concentrate one, isolate and hydrolyzed. The concentrate part covers 48% of that. Next slide please. So our main motto, so our main motto of choosing this product is like the globally the protein market is anticipated a flourish at the CEGR of 8% during this forecast of 2017 to 2024. So market of way is estimated to like a value of 620 million USD dollars and factors such as like rising application of way in food and beverage products is anticipated to drive the growth of global wear protein. So we have seen like India during the mills over supply and low demand, there is so much wastage of milk. So these products can add an opportunity to value addition of the business and it will hold a win-win situation for the both, for the consumer also for getting the protein and for the milkman production also. So these are some like best protein brands across the globe like Optimum Nutrition, Transplant Labs, Muscle Tech, BSN and other ones. Next slide please. So like from now on we'll be like discussing the market trend and the current growth drivers. Firstly, there has been a considerable change in the dietary protein consumption pattern. So the protein which was earlier like was only meant for a niche population has entered into mainstream status. Even adults consume more dietary protein so just as to like amid their protein requirement for their hair building and their skin glowing and radiance. Next one is the ubiquitous presence of whey protein. So the major composition of whey is like protein and it's like an amino acid profile and since they are readily digestible so they contribute towards the good nutrition. Next one is the improved like demand by the sports nutrition. Since we know that sports persons basically go with the body profiling and they are very calorie conscious. So through such highly refined and derived protein products they can keep up with their performance levels. Next one is the steady demand for the milk protein hydrolysis. So since derived amino acids from such kind of whey protein are actually rich in their biological value and they are already absorbed with this burden on the gastric involvement. Also the instant supply of energy since a gram of protein it nearly comes to four calorie of energy. So even like a protein of sort of whey can also like fulfill the requirement of the energy count meant for the sports person. And next one is the demand for protein for 45 products. So lately due to this COVID thing there has been much emphasis on use of protein because protein basically forms the like the structural unit for the immunoglobulins. And antibodies so since this awareness has got a lot of traction so there's a quite a good demand in the market right now for whey protein. Also like since protein products like a whey products doesn't have much of the sugar added so they also can tackle with the increasing incidences of diabetes. Okay the next slide please. Okay thank you Rahul. So I'll discuss with the research analysis. We have done our research through Google Form which we have floated and we got more than 200 responses and this is the responses we are taking from 201 responses from that point we have taken this. So we can see that the age group which is responsive towards our Google Form is actually 15 to 25 people 25 age that was the 70 percentage of the people who responded. And 27 percentage 9 was in the category of 26 to 35 in the age category and you know comparing to this age categories the 36 to 45 and 46 to 55 are comparatively less their approach was 3.5 for each. And when we consider the gender even though we have aimed our Google Form to reach everyone at the same ratio but the responses what we got is actually from the male it is 72.1 percentage and similarly from the female it is 27.9 percentage. So it shows that the male is having more tendency towards the wear proteins but at the same time we also have to note that the female is also raising the demand is raising from the point of the females also. Next when we consider like the kind of methods which they do for maintaining their health in every day that we have given an options like gym, morning work and exercises and just regular course and then sports and athletics and we found that the people who approaches the gym is actually 17 percentage. Actually this is a category where we need to aim more because the gym people are regularly come for the wear proteins but you can see that for the next five years there is an increased CAGR is expected to for 10 percentage the growth in percentage of gym doing people. So that is a positive growth we have there. And next one is the scaling towards the health consciousness that you can find that 83.5 percentage of the people have given a scale of 3 to 5 percentage which means that the increasing concern towards the health due to the present situations like the corona viruses and all. So it is also one of the plus point towards us. Sumit sir can you take the next slide. Yes, yes, continue with the next. I'll be there. Just move the slide. Is the slide there? Yeah, this is it. So as we are as we are the product is involved with protein and the fortified micronutrients and the survey which was done about understanding the needs of protein, how the requirements are met by protein, the higher contained was from pulses and vegetables. Then, then came with the non vegetarian diet, then with the eggs and then with the milk and we protein supplements considered only the eight only 8.9% of it, which means the concentrated position the concentrated portion is still a very less and has an opportunity here. Opportunity in the age group which was involved was from 25 was about 25 this group is highly conscious towards health. And this group is where we are focusing upon for our way proteins supplements. And otherwise, the next one was edible sources with people are relying to boost their immunity where it was found that the regular fruits and vegetables came with the first preferences. The Ayurvedic herbal products came with second preferences, market supplements, market supplements, a new option came on 7% and market supplements on 7%. Here means the 7% of the people which are looking for something new are targeted customers, which clearly depicts there is a there is a gap. There is a emerging gap, not continuous gap, but there is an emerging gap with which will come ahead, which will come coming some days, it will gain a whole market share. The next question was about the spending, which they're willing to spend upon the expenditure of protein and other immunified immunity boosting compounds. Where 53% people are ready to spend 5% of their total expenses 32% are expected to spend 10% of their total spending and 8.9 8.9% people are expected 15% whereas the leftover people are expected for 20% of which again, which means here, as Indian people are more price conscious, they are needed in a product which is not more costlier than what they are spending now. This also here is a challenge for us because we proteins are always ranges with the range of 1.1500 rupees to 200 rupees per kg where we have to be price conscious and we are also in our business plans we have shared the pricing of the product. And the fourth one was what sort of packing they need or what sort of packing they are willing to apply for the product where the 71.5% of the people have clearly showed they need some small boxes or small tin or plastic boxes where it is of 1 kg. So here also we are showing our business, we are showing our details in our business plan ahead. Okay, thank you sir. Okay, next one is actually marketing strategy and USP. So like we are just saying our market strategy will be, our USP will be like the product of the gym organization, we will approach the gym organizations like tall workers and gold gyms. So our product will be firstly introduced to them so that people are actually having a good penetration in the market. So if they are agreeing with the product, it will be a good effort for us. So the next thing is actually a small pack of products. Since we have already said that the people will prefer the 1 kg pack products which can easily store and will not have any problem. So that is the next thing which we are taking in the terms of product considerations. The next one is gender segmentation. So gender segmentation we are concentrating on both male and females. So we will have a different contains we have different compositions for the gender and for the male and female especially for considering the females will provide the hormones or hormonal values also in there. Next one is the physician advice. This is very important actually when the people go to the doctors or the physicians in advice for having high calcium, high proteins for the products. Then the physicians can directly advise them this kind of products so it will be a direct marketing and direct trustworthy marketing. Next one is e-commerce. The main thing is that the penetration to this particular product, this particular market can be easily done through the e-commerce because mainly the customers are very much active in the e-commerce rather than that of the retail markets. Next one is last thing is the push to market. In push to market we are like giving an office in 3 and 5 kg products because mainly as per the 70% of the people their request was for the small product like 1 kg. But even they go for the 3 and 5 kg product we will give an extra office and similarly a coupon based offer will also be provided that if the consumer is continuously purchasing from the same retail market. Then they will get an additional benefits and point will be counted there. The next thing is the SWOT analysis. So let me go fast for this. So this is the areas, the strength and weakness then opportunities and threats. So when we consider the strength, the strength is it is the largest market and create a promote healthy lifestyle which is having a more concerning nowadays. And it's a highly profitable and easy to create the chain of the products since many players are already active and can be easily create the chains through the gym builders already. Then the weakness. The weakness is the expense of research. The R&D is having is very, very expensive over here. The next thing is the customer feel that the product may be expensive. So that is also can be a weakness for it and not many unique selling and pathway we can accept here. The next thing is opportunity. It is easy to promote this product and not difficult to expand the other, not difficult to expand to other products. And it's, you know, it's a highly profitable market and market become extremely popular with the people's began because the kind of ad will be directly taking the taking attractions from the people's from the customers. Then the threats, then already numerous growing competitors are already in the market, then production costs are racing and the government regulations and less popularity of the products among the people is the threat can come from here. Okay, thank you. Now B plans will go for a B plans. Rahul is a slide visible. No, not yet. Wait, wait, wait. Okay, come on. Okay, good evening. So we are here with our startup plan, dairyman. So it's actually a product of that based product of dairyman solutions. We are a registered partner firm based out of Jaipur. And we established just last month. And we have also registered our startup there at startup India and we'll be receiving their benefits from them. And so we can move on to the next slide please. Yeah, so here are like a passionate team members so since I've already shared that we are a registered partner firm. So we all are the founding partners with equal 25% stake here. And I'll be dealing with the platform development with the Bhavya sir taking the, the charge of finances for us with the operations of that platform and so Mr will be handling the marketing so mission statement is very much clear that through dairyman we are going to organize the currently unorganized system of veterinary health care delivery. And this is our motto that we want to reinvent the way veterinary health care system works in the field condition right now. So, so basically through our dairyman app based platform we want to address three major issues. The first one being the scarce knowledge that is with that the farmers like perceive himself during the animal keeping practice. And they are very much like they're less aware of the parameters that they need to share with the professionals to the direct solution that that must address such kind of issue is to empower the veterinary health care system and of history that they need to have a guided system of treatment ahead. So our platform will be basically serving as a dynamic record keeping platform. So all that record that will be fed into the system by the farmers of their animals will be available to all the stakeholders on our platform and this have been a study that just through dynamic and well record keeping savings of 14,000 rupees per cattle or buffalo unit can be achieved. Second is confronting the gaps in the service delivery since we know that there are just nearly 60,000 veterinarian registered in our country and places and like in villages mostly the workforce is really scarce. So through our platform we want to get all the veterinary health care professionals on to a system so that this system as a whole can have all the all the veterinarians the para veterinarians the technicians on our system. So that if one veterinarian is engaged somewhere you can get the service can be catered by another. So both platform USB here is to build that capacity by connecting all the stakeholders on our platform. Thirdly, since farmers based just carrying forward the thing that they are not well with their record keeping practice. So most of the farmers are not even aware of what kind of scheduled interventions that they may like undergo during this animal keeping practice. So our platform will have this guided advisory system and push notification system that will let farmers know what future intervention is required like in case of a de-moving schedule the farmer will well in time know that a vaccination or de-moving schedule is up to be implemented then. So our platform USB here will be this ability to synthesize and analyze these records and come up with the current and the future health care needs down the line. Can we have the next presentation here? Yes sir. So here is the like our Daria platform interface you can see the screenshot of it. So in the start we are going with a bilingual language English and Hindi and it is just a record keeping app we can get all animal health data there. So algorithm we are choosing it like on both for any stakeholder can enter their data and farmers can enter their data at their level and their queries will be inquired by all the doctors at the veterinary level. So we are conveyed with the geotag registered veterinary health care professional near them. So they were in fire with the lifetime history data. So we will keep a record basis for the future also. So we can keep notifying the farmers for the like schedules they were having for their like so all the records will be keeping so regular health care checkups will be there so that they will not forget and there will be less losses. So next slide please. Okay thank you. The next thing is actually the market assessment. You see why we are developing this particular app is actually this particular veterinary health care industry is actually a 6000 crore valued industry. And there is actually a big gap is there a losses happening 20,000 crores due to the livestock business and all. And it is says that the total there is a 15 percentage of CAGR is expected for the 2020. So the technical and then then we go for like why we are going for this technical aspects and this app based program. Then the data shows that the technological presence in rural India actually a 400 million active mobile users in the rural India by 2020. And similarly it is also expected that there is a 15.5 percentage CAGR in the rural digital adaptation. Similarly in the artificial intelligence techniques there is a 23 percentage of the CAGR is also expected in the livestock regions. Okay now see here. Now our target is actually the medium to progressive farmers with the technological accessibility and similarly those who are doing the commercial farming in particular in dairy farming. The next thing is actually the service providers in service providers will add up with the wits and similarly the para wits similarly the artificial insemination technicians and the diagnostic lab nearby the peoples and nearby the segmentation segmentize the areas. Then the secondary stakeholders will be present in the particular app will be the agricultural consultancy expert. Similarly the animal insurances agencies will be included and the cement banks for you know exotic cements will be available over there so the breeding can be easily done. Similarly the industry and research researchers for log data will also be available. Next thing is the marketing and the PR root of us that is actually one of our USP. I'll see you that I'll just explain you that see first one is the campaigning campaigning and the field promotions can be done through the KVK support and similarly through the veterinary universities and similarly by the help of the agricultural agriculture sorry animal health department animal department through the department helps also then similarly the next thing we can do is actually the local gathering so local gathering can be conducted in some places and can give the extensions work to the farmers at the same time. So they will be get having a knowledge regarding it. Then the distributions of farmlets which gives the ender explanations about the app usage and app interface. Then the social network promotions can also be have a good penetration in the market. Thank you. Next slide please. Yeah. It's one of a kind in India right now with some two major competitors right. And the farm tree man completes with a hard man. A indigenous startup from Nakpur from the Nakpur agricultural Nakpur veterinary university and the farm tree farm tree was an European startup but currently in existence a stage in India they had their operations before. There are some attributes which we are including which we are focusing on the first one is the health care records health care records is a record keeping is a critical and a pivotal. Role plays a pivotal role in any business to see its foresight ahead. So that the both the two both the two both the two startups or both the two interfaces never see never accepted that. But at daily man we have accepted and we are keen upon the health care records maintenance of record which maintenance of records. These are USP with others also diagnostic services. We are understanding understanding the understanding the loopholes with with a specialized or a technical person is is something which we are going to provide because we are included with the team of very we will come to include very team of very sound professionals. So veterinary service and next comes with the veterinary services veterinary services. Comparing to the hard man and farm tree hard man was easy is now working with veterinary services. We are also going to go in a veterinary service but we are also trying to have a real time interface upon our upon our upon our app based where on the real time the farmer and the specialist can share their data on the real time they can share their videos and get into some primary health care and solve the primary health care issues. Location tracking both the hard man and farm tree have no location tracking access but a daily man we are with the location tracking access. The next come is a smart initiative platform where a smart year for us means understanding the base understand the root cause of the problems. Due to the maintenance records of health care records maintenance records and veterinary services sound veterinary professionals we can get into very smart solutions and we can go with smart solutions which farm tree was providing where hard man was not providing. This is our next SOP USP where both the hard man and farm tree were not interested are not working in the field of small livestock animals, small livestock animals like goats are also we are major part of our major part of our consultancy and our major part offer also our consultancy and a business approach use of IOTs currently as we are focusing on a typically commercially based commercial based farmers. I think we are not in much need of IOTs right now but there is an IOT used by hard man and hard man only so that was our competitive advantage we have. Okay, so like from here like I'll be quickly rushing through and so what are the technical barriers that we might be facing if you are like trying to enter the market the first thing is that there's a possibility that government as a whole can come up with such a good platform. That can actually digitalize whole system and can have all the animal health records related to the para veterinarians and the veterinarians. But the thing is down the line since the same concept has not yet been implemented in the medical health care service like how the system actually functions in the human medicine case so it's a long forcing thing to like but yeah still there's a risk with that if the government can come up with some kind of project. Yeah, maybe you could focus on the business plan numbers. Sure, sure, sure. Okay, okay then. All right, yeah. All right. So these are the kind of milestone that we are expecting for this year that will be working for some of the content creation then the platform development with followed by the website development and these are all the deliverables and so we have kind of decided like allocated them in two terms from now on so like six one for the first and six to 12 months from the next. And lastly towards the end of this, all the deliverables will be kind of promoting our project so can we go on to the next slide please. Since you know the PPT's and the reports will be available for everyone, they can go into sales. Yes, sir. Sure, sure, sure. If you can focus on the. Right, sir. Yeah, so this is like a growth roadmap for the coming five years during the first year will be kind of emphasizing on the service delivery model so coming up with a strong service. A strong service delivery model for the stakeholders after a pilot area is decided in the second year will be this will be kind of including the animal management management data along with the healthcare data and also promoting our platform as a whole. During the third year will have this ICT section called as daily church section to increase the farmers engagement during the fourth year we are targeting to hire our own daily managers to promote our platform in the in the village and to come up with a subscription model, like those are deliberate and practical and the fifth year since this IOT technology is a good by going around and maybe in incoming time this technology will also be much more cheap to be implemented for the livestock so we'll kind of like try to tap that and also since all these five years we will have like a good accumulated data in our hands on on our area and app will try to monetize it to go by trying to partner up with the different industries and coming up with a good model. So these are the funding requirements for this year so if you were targeting that it might take two months of time and we have allocated a project budget of 686,000 rupees. And so these are the particulars if you're interested you can have a screenshot please onto the next slide. These are the revenue model that we came up with so initially we'll kind of focus on obtaining the commission from our stakeholders which are vets, para vets, technicians and diagnostic labs. This commission will allow us to like keep the revenue stream flowing and also for the other stakeholders will have increased number of cases to be dealt. Also, since our platform will include an ICT section it will be an engagement for the farmers we'll also try to include the app advertising also as I already discussed monetize the data. And through our ICT section we can also go for the content marketing like publishing videos and blogs of other intellects on our platform and kind of marketing that and also down the line we also foresee a consistent revenue system out of the product sales to our platform. On to the next slide please. Yeah, so these are consolidated revenue projections. We have, we foresee a breakthrough nearly around the fourth year since our project is based out of a service delivery model and it's kind of a similar thing of what they had an agro start doing and they actually met their break even nearly around six to seven years down the line. It's a quite ambitious goal for us to do that in the fourth year but the thing is, during the second and the third year, we just need to pump near around two lakhs in the second year. And during the third year we're just saving near around, during the second year it was five lakhs and during third year it's two lakhs and from fourth year on will be self sustainable with this project. So that was it actually. Thank you. Thank you.


Hey guys, what's going on? It is Andy. In this video I want to talk to you about how to learn your inventory as an automotive sales pro. Now listen to me, a lot of people don't geek out on this and they don't even care about this and this is why you miss deals. If you'll watch this full video to the end, I will guarantee you can double your sales just by understanding how to learn your inventory and where it will play and play when you're dealing with people in person or on the phone. Check it out. Hey guys, what's going on? It is Andy Elliott. Guys, how did I make 700 grand of your selling cars? I always say, do you really want to know or are you just asking? If you're just asking, you're not going to pay attention anyways, but since you guys came up to learn today, you must really want to know. I'm going to teach you. I knew my inventory better than anyone. I remember one thing, okay? I was 18 years old. My manager told me he was Andy. The guy that knows his inventory the best makes the most money. I said, well, what does that mean? The guy that knows his inventory the best makes the most money. It's very simple. He goes, how many cars do you have sitting out there on the lot right now? I said 50. He goes, okay, white Toyota Corolla. How many miles? What year? What's the price? I said, I think it's a 2016. He goes, no, it's not. How many miles are on it? I think 30,000. No. Andy, how am I supposed to, how are you supposed to be my trusted advisor? How am I supposed to do business with you and you don't know anything about that car? So you're guessing and I'm going to pay you to guess for me. No thanks. You know what I learned real fast? I didn't know my inventory. I was a freaking amateur. Write this down. Do not be an amateur. Okay? How do you be a pro? It's very simple. I'm going to tell you how to do it. Number one, every single morning, okay? I'd go out and walk the trucks one morning, the next morning I'd walk all the cars and the next morning I'd walk all the SUVs and vans. I had a very simple process. I worked six days a week. I did it three days and then three days and every morning, every morning I showed up 30 minutes early to work. I've already lost a lot of you right there. You say 30 minutes early. Hey guys, what's going on? It's Andy. A lot of you leave comments telling me that you need help. Do me a favor. I'm going to tell you the best way to get a hold of me. Shoot me a text message right now,<PHONE_NUMBER>.<PHONE_NUMBER>. I'll help you with whatever you need.  Let's get back to the video. I want to explain why I showed up 30 minutes early because the cars weren't moving around yet, right? There wasn't any chaos. There's always usually a lot of party going in the morning or people moving vehicles or taking it back to detail or the service drive grabbing cars. So I showed up about 30 minutes early when it was just really quiet and it was still. And what I would do is that I'd walk down the truck lane. Literally every single truck, I'd look at the stock number, write it down. 2019 Chevy Silverado. Is it four-wheel drive, two-wheel drive, quad cab, crew cab? Did it have special wheels on it? Leather, cloth, navigation, backup camera? You know what did it have? Most of these trucks have screens in them now, right? So does it have navigation or is it just a backup camera? Look at it. See what it has. I would find out everything about it. Is there any dings, dents, scratches? What's going on?   You know, what is it about this truck that would really like be the sizzle on the steak? Is it plain Jane? Is it super nice? Is there any extras on it? I would walk them all. Also, I would ride down the miles. I would literally memorize that car. You know why? Because I'm selling it today. I'm selling it today. Trust me. Somebody comes in, I'm going to bring the heat like no other.   You may have 500. You need to know all your vehicles. Now, notice, I want you to write this down. You ready? This is important. Don't miss this. Write down a lot. That's the lot. That's where your cars are out front for display. Write down detail department. Write down parts department. Parts holding where cars are waiting for parts to come in and they're on hold. Write down fresh trade-in row where the trade-ins come in from the night before where we park them. Write down service department. Vehicles that are waiting to go into the service department. They're waiting for service. Also, write down auction. Where do the auction park the cars when they drop them off before anything happens? I had these six or seven areas all pinned down. Work starts, let's say, at 9 o'clock. I'm there by 8.15. I'm literally starting with the lot. I'm going back to detail. I'm going to parts holding. I'm going, guys, I'm boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, going to trade row. I'm making sure that I see every car, what year it is, how many miles are on it. And by the way, it's a fresh trade-in. I didn't know the price. At least I knew I had the car. I saw so many times salespeople were greeting customers like this, hey, what's going on? How you doing? They're like, yeah, I saw a vehicle was on the internet. They're like, oh, which one?    Hey, manager, do we still have that 2019 Chevy Silverado black? Guy said he saw it on the website, but I didn't see it. Dude, Jane even done your job today. You're never going to make a lot of money. You're never going to do it. You can't do it. You don't even give yourself a fair shot. And by the way, I'm very passionate about this. I'm going to explain why. I was making about five to seven grand a month and I thought that that was amazing, which it is amazing when you're broke. But the top guy, guy's name was James Gilligan. They call him Gilly. The guy was my age and he made three times the money as me. He wasn't a better speaker. He wasn't a better talker, but my manager taught him something he didn't teach me. He taught him how to learn his inventory. That changed everything for me. When I decided to get obsessed with learning every single car in my lot, what I started to learn is when I'm having conversations with people about vehicles, like you guys on fire. I'm like, guys, listen to me. Trucks, I'm the truck center of the world. If I don't have it, they don't make it. I've got a 2019 Chevy Silverado quad cap full wheel drive sitting on 30 inch Mickey Thompson super swamper sitting right there, bad to the bone, right? Doesn't have the navigations, but it's got the backup camera, got the Neo suede interior. It's got the five seven motor on it. Dude, I mean, I was seeing everything. Guys like, hey, Andy, I'm looking for a car. I'm like, are you kidding me? I've got everything in the world. You want 20 miles a gallon. You want 45 miles a gallon. You're looking for electric. You're looking for gas. You're looking for something sexy with leather and a sunroof. You're looking for something plain Jane, keep the payment down, and this is going to roll for a long time. Something ready to go put some miles on. What are we looking for? You tell me, I got it. I know them all. All of a sudden, my confidence went through the roof and I knew everything. I knew whether to go left, whether to go right, but I knew my inventory. You know what my favorite thing is? Is that a guy would come in, they'd be like, Andy, I'm looking for X, Y, and Z. I'm looking for a car under $10,000. Guys, you know $10,000 under cars don't exist, but somebody come in and say, I'm looking for a car under 10 grand. And a salesman say, I don't think we have any of those. Remember that one, but then it sold last week and now you all, now I don't have anything.  They put six grand in it. They would have freaking sold that car for 10, 98, all day long. But you know what? You didn't walk your inventory that morning, so you didn't know that we had that car. So you know what happened? You missed the deal. I watched it happen every day. Just think about this. Do me a favor, write this down. One additional deal a day. One. One. I'm going to ask you a question.  The answer is yes. Do you think a trained salesman will make more money than an untrained salesman? The answer is yes. Okay. Do you think that if you work 22 days in a month, 22 working days, that if you knew your inventory and you were training hard that you could have delivered an additional extra unit a day? Yes or no? That's 22 deals in a month. Extra. You see how you just made it? Welcome to making the big money. Guys, I love sharing secrets with you guys or things that you know seen that everybody would be doing that they're not doing. Listen to me.

Recently, Bamboo Lab released one of the most requested features in the Bamboo Studio and almost nobody noticed. My name's Jim and this is the Edge of Tech. Bamboo Lab is one of, if not the best 3D printing companies when it comes to listening to their users. Not only do they listen to the things we ask for, the things we like, we dislike, all of that stuff, but they act on it so fast. So today I was in Bamboo Slicer checking on one of the prints on a printer and I noticed a couple of new features. One of those features is to go live. I love the idea of streaming my 3D printer straight from the slicer with no additional cameras needed. So today let's walk through the steps to get that set up and in the end I'm gonna tell you what I'm gonna use it for. With Bamboo Studio open, go to the device tab. From there, click on the camera settings button and you'll see an option to go live. Now set your video to 1080 if it's not already to give you better resolution and then click that go live button. If this is the first time you've clicked that go live button it will probably give you this air right here and you'll have to install the virtual camera tools. After you get that installed, go back to the camera settings and click that go live button again. You'll notice when you do that there's a link on the bottom of that little settings menu that allows you to click it and go straight to the instructions. If you'd like to follow along with those instructions while we go through the video, go ahead and click that link now. Also after you click the go live link you'll notice this little camera over here and it goes red when you're live. Now what we need to do is jump into OBS and set up the stream. Regular OBS will work but I prefer Streamlabs OBS and you will need one of those versions installed before we proceed here. There are a ton of videos on YouTube showing how to install this and how to configure it. It is super easy and it's free to use Streamlabs OBS as well. I'll put a link in the description if you want to use Streamlabs OBS. Any of the OBSs will work. OBSs, I think that's how you say it, OBSs I guess. So you'll need those installed.  So once you are in OBS and it's open you'll need to add a scene. Click the little plus sign here to add the scene and give it whatever name you want. I'm gonna call mine bamboo lab video. Next we need to add a media source to our scene to show the camera. Click the little add button and choose media file right here then click add source and give it a name. I'm going to use bamboo lab printers then click okay when you're done. Real quick if you're getting value from today's video please smash that like button. If you want to see more 3D printing lasers and CNC content please consider hitting that subscribe button if you haven't already done so. It really is gonna help me this year in my goal to hit 100,000 subscribers. Now back to it. Now go back to bamboo studio. Click the little arrow drop down in the top left and then click help. From there you want to click show configuration folder and this opens the configuration folder we need to make the camera work. Now that you're in the folder click the camera tools folder and then in the top in the bar here you want to highlight and copy that whole path. Then jump back into OBS media setup click the checkbox for local file and then paste the path into the input field. On the very end of that path you want to add a forward slash and then ffmpeg.sdp shown on the screen now to the end of your path so your whole path is complete. Now scroll down to the ffmpeg options box and enter the following text. You can get it either from the instruction page or I'll have it in the description below. If you've done it correctly in a few seconds the printer will show up in the preview screen at the top. From there you just click the close button and you're done configuring the video. If you don't see your printer here but you see the bamboo logo stuff then all you have to do is jump back into bamboo studio and click that go live button one more time and make sure the little camera is red so you're live.  So at this point in the video you're probably saying to yourself hey that's a cool feature but what could I use it for? Well you can use it for a ton of things. You could go live on YouTube or Facebook or any social media platform that requires a webcam but what I'm most excited for is going live on Maker Deck and sharing my printers with the world. If you haven't heard of Maker Deck it's a channel that runs 24-7 on Twitch and it shows nothing but cool stuff being made. That could be 3D printers printing which it most commonly is or someone sitting in sewing or painting or modeling whatever you want to do.  Now because we set this up in OBS all I have to use is the built-in virtual webcam to push my camera straight into stream yard which Maker Deck uses to stream. It's so easy. Let me show you how to set up that virtual webcam now. Open OBS back up and click the little gear that's on the bottom of the left side of the screen. Then you want to scroll down and click the virtual webcam button. You want to install the virtual webcam so click the button here. Once it's installed click start virtual webcam and it'll show you that it's running. Now click done. Quick heads up if you're thinking about jumping on Maker Deck use the link below to jump in and register and get accepted before you go any further because you have to do that first but once you're registered all you have to do is follow their instruction and they'll get you in the stream. Now when you're ready to enter stream yard all you have to do is go to the settings click the camera button on the left side and make sure it's set to Streamlabs desktop virtual webcam. Then click the X to back out of the settings and click start camera. You should see your printer show up and if you're printing something you should see that printing now. Just enter your name and a headline if you want to and you're ready to stream on stream yard. If it's Maker Deck they'll add you into the rotation and that's it your printer streaming all over the world now. The really cool thing about using the virtual webcam and OBS is that you should be able to use it with any of the softwares that allow you to use a webcam that could be zoom or Skype or stream yard like we showed here. Any of those all you have to do is make sure using that stream yard virtual webcam and it will show your printer. And of course like I said earlier you can use OBS to go live on your favorite social media platforms whether that's YouTube or TikToker Twitter or whatever you want to go live in. You should be able to use OBS to bring your printer into those as well. I really do think this is a very powerful feature that Bamboo Lab has put in the Bamboo Studio and I believe they're going to keep expanding it as well. The only downfall that I see right now is that you're only allowed to use one printer at a time to stream into your streams. If you click another printer it'll actually pop up an error and it'll tell you that you have to switch the camera to that printer and then go live to be able to use it. I'm hoping they figure this out in the future so I could actually stream all of my Bamboo Lab printers all on one screen. That would be super cool and I think it would be a really fun feature for more people as well. It would actually allow me to see all my printers on one screen at one time if I'm monitoring them or something like that. But let me know in the comments below if you would use this if you're going to use this or what you would use it for. Also don't forget to check out Maker Deck again there's a link in the description below. And if you haven't done maintenance on your Bamboo Lab printers I highly suggest you check this video out right here.


Okay, so let's do the second part of that problem now. So it says what is the molarity of the potassium ions in this solution? So we figured out what the molarity of potassium phosphate was. So I'm going to erase all of this up here. Is that okay? So in order to do this problem, we're going to have to recall that both, of course, potassium and phosphate are both strong electrolytes dissociate completely in solution. So A3P04, when you put it into solution, goes to 3K plus AQS plus B043 minus AQS. Okay? Is that okay? Let's put that first. Okay, so remember, this is a mole to mole ratio. Okay? And remember, this is moles per liter here. Okay? Concentration. So if I'm wondering what's the molarity of K plus ions, remember we can break that down into its constituent parts. Right? Say, moles of K3PO4 divided by solution. Right? And we have a mole to mole conversion there. Right? Is everybody okay with that? So for every one mole of potassium and phosphate, we've got three moles, very good, of K plus ions. So, cancel, cancel. So 3, 1.57 times 3, I got one molar. Asked you, what, what, that's, that's the number of moles. Yeah, that's the moles. Yeah. Oh, but it's moles, moles per liter. Well, it's mostly five liters over there. How many molars do you have in the answer one? That was the last problem, right? So we figured out the molarity from the last problem. It's okay though, it's good, it's good to do that stuff. Yeah. So what, you're saying moles, right? But what we're saying is we never cancel that, the liters of solution here. So that's a good point. What if I asked you, I guess, just to continue this problem a little bit, what's the molarity of phosphate ions? 1.57 molar, okay, 1.57 molar of phosphate. So molar and molarity, you have the same, like the molars. Yeah, the same thing, yeah. Molarity, if you say molarity or molar, that's the way to, yeah, yeah, doing it. Any other questions?


The Narcissist will steal your energy. It is like the Narcissist has a nutritional deficiency As though they do not have enough of certain nutrients When they targeted you They were looking for someone that had something to provide to them certain qualities abilities or talents characteristics or traits good energy money power physical attractiveness They were looking for someone who was full of nutrients Someone to provide them with nourishment Someone to provide them with food that is essential for their growth health and good condition They were looking for someone to provide them with nutrients or energy to sustain them But the narcissist didn't have any nutrients or energy to give to you. The narcissist is like junk food Pre-prepared or packaged food that has very low nutritional value For a relationship to be healthy or functional There needs to be an equal exchange of energy If there isn't an equal exchange of energy Someone is going to be left feeling drained of energy This is what happens when you are involved with a narcissist When they consume the nutrients that you have to offer They are getting nourished They are being provided with food that is essential for their growth health and good condition But when you consume what they have to offer It's just junk food with very low nutritional value It leaves you feeling drained lifeless and very confused This is why when you are involved with a narcissist It can seem as though they have more energy than you do It's because they are using up everything good about you While having nothing to give to you in return Which then leaves you feeling depleted They have nothing nourishing to offer you They have nothing to give to you that will assist your growth health or good condition Anything that they give to you will likely prevent you from growing And it will have a negative impact on your health and good condition They always leave you worse off than before you met them Because they have nothing to give to you in return for what you give to them They have nothing to replenish you While you're giving out everything that you have to offer And you're not being replenished So eventually you will be left with nothing The narcissist has to trick you into believing that they are giving you something nourishing or something full of energy But all they are giving to you is junk food You cannot be replenished from consuming junk food If you are eating junk food every day Eventually you are going to develop a lack of proper nutrition You are going to have deficiencies and imbalances in your intake of energy and nutrients You may experience weight loss or weight gain You might feel tired all the time You might have a low mood An increase in illnesses or infections Because you're not being nourished You're not receiving the adequate intake of energy and nutrients to maintain your health This is what happens when you are in a relationship with a narcissist The narcissist is feeding off the energy that you naturally produce When you are giving them your attention and admiration Your time and energy, your love and affection You are giving out your resources which are meant to sustain you Which are meant to strengthen or support you physically and mentally You are giving your energy and nutrients to the narcissist They are consuming it and it's nourishing them They have to get it from you because they cannot produce it on their own But when you are giving all of your energy and nutrients to them And all you are getting in return is junk food You begin to get sick You develop anxiety or depression You no longer feel fulfilled with life You don't have the energy or nutrients to recover Because you've given it all to the narcissist And all you got in return was junk food Which didn't have the nutrients to replenish you To strengthen or support you physically and mentally So now you feel tired all the time You have a low mood An increase in illnesses or infections Because of a lack of nourishment Because you're not receiving the adequate intake of energy and nutrients To maintain your health Normally we can replenish ourselves With enough time we can restore ourselves to a former level Or condition We can heal or recover We can become healthy again The narcissist cannot do this They do not have the energy or nutrients within them to do it They need to have other people for nourishment They need to have other people to fuel their growth health and condition Because the narcissist is nothing more than a container of junk food Which means that it is not possible for them to nourish you It is not possible for them to give you the energy and nutrients that you need They are already aware of this And that is why they have to conceal their true nature They have to lie and deceive They have to steal from you Because they already know that they have nothing nourishing to give to you They have to make their junk food look more attractive or interesting They have to make it seem as though their junk food is actually something very healthy or nutritious When you first meet them It may seem that way in the beginning But the longer you stay around them the more depleted you become Until you finally realize that you've just been robbed of your energy and resources Everything that sustained you Everything that maintained your growth health and good condition And you realize that you've been left with nothing to help you recover Nothing to help you restore yourself to your former level or condition You feel empty and drained of your life and energy Because now you have the junk food inside of you While they have all of your energy and nutrients You gave it away to the narcissist Because you thought that there was going to be an equal exchange But the energy and nutrients that they were supposed to give to you was never real They lied to you They deceived you It was only junk food They need your energy and nutrients They cannot live without it And they will do whatever it takes to get it Any engaged model interaction they have Is designed to extract the energy and nutrients from their unsuspecting targets But they have nothing nourishing to give back in return Which is why whenever you engage or interact with the narcissist You're left feeling drained lifeless and confused This is how the narcissist steals your energy Thank you for watching I hope this video resonated with you Please like comment share and subscribe Click the bell

Welcome to another edition of Thinking Things Through, Thinking Critically in Critical Times. I'm your host, Michael Sukoff. Today we have with us Albi Miles, Assistant Professor of Sustainable Community Food Systems at the University of Hawaii, West O'ahu. We're going to be discussing the future of food towards transforming the food system in the US. Welcome to the show, Albi. Thank you for having me. Great. Now you've done a lot of work on the relationship between farming system, the agricultural system, and obstacles to achieving ecologically sustainable and socially just food and farming systems. Is there anything you'd briefly like to add about your background and interests? Sure, a few things by way of introduction. My doctoral degree was in environmental science, policy, and management from UC Berkeley. And while at Berkeley, we set up what was called the Center for Diversified Farming Systems. That was a major research center looking at ecologically based agriculture and the environmental advantages of diversified farming systems that led into the formation. What's now called the Berkeley Food Institute, a major research center within the University of California system that serves to advance ecological sustainability and social equity in the food system at the regional, national, and international level. Other than that, I would just share that before I was at Berkeley, I spent a decade at what's called the UC Santa Cruz Center for Agroecology and Sustainable Food Systems. There I worked at the nation's oldest organic farming training program. And again, it was a major research center focused on advancing ecological sustainability and social equity economic development in the center coast food system along California's center coast. The only other thing I would share is there's a number of projects and I think we'll drop a couple of those into the chat. One is an initiative called Transforming Hawaii's Food System Together. It's a food system planning initiative, grassroots and participatory in nature. And we're attempting to outline what are some key integrated approaches to advancing ecological sustainability, social equity, food system resilience in Hawaii. Great, I'll be, thanks so much. Well, let's just dive right in. So you mentioned the term food system. What is the food system? So when I speak with my undergraduate students, so my program at UH West Oahu is called Sustainable Community Food Systems and I tried to help them understand the difference between agriculture, which is really the science and practice of cultivating crops and livestock and other commodities for fiber and fuel production. So the actual farming itself from the broader food system that is really best understood as a complex social, ecological and political system that encompasses all the drivers and activities and resources that goes into producing, distributing, consuming food as well as waste disposal. And it's important to understand the food system has a profound influence on public health, the economy, human culture, our ability to mitigate and adapt to climate change, its influence over biodiversity conservation and overall environmental quality. Now, you've already touched on this, but could you say a little bit more specifically, what are the key component parts of the food system and also how does that system differ from what you've called the agricultural system? Yeah, so a few key parts of the food system are include the inputs, pesticides, fertilizers, seed, labor, equipment, antibiotics, all the stuff that allows us to grow the foods and fibers that we consume. Then there's the production part, the actual farming, the raising of crops and livestock. Other elements of the food system is post-harvest handling and processing, the processing of raw commodities that goes into the manufacturer of some of our foods. Then there's distribution, how does food once produced and processed, how does it get from point A to point B, including to wholesalers and retail food outlets where we gain access to our foods. And then of course there's consumption, the actual eating of foods and then waste disposal. So after we dispose of some of our food waste, where does that end up? And at each phase in the food system as I've described it, those are important attributes that have social and ecological costs and benefits that in the modern context, I think we need to take into further consideration to modify them so that it's more socially equitable and ecologically sustainable and resilient. Now, I think you've already pretty much pointed to this, but could you say specifically what is the difference between the system you just described and the agricultural system proper? What's the difference? Yeah, so farming or agriculture is a subset in the broader food system. So when you think about the food system, it's everything from the inputs all the way through to waste disposal. The farming is really about the production of crops and livestock. So the food system is a broader social ecological system and that farming is one component of. Right, and so could you describe what you see as being the top two or three food system issues that we currently face at the global, national and local levels here in Hawaii? Sure, so I would start with kind of a broad category of the issue of social inequality in the food system and I'll describe a couple of features that I think are of particular concern. The US Department of Agriculture, their Economic Research Service, measures household food insecurity on an annual basis and they've been doing that since 1995. And prior to COVID-19, it was calculated that there's about 10 and a half percent of US households, about 30 million people, again, prior to COVID-19 who were food insecure. That is they were having a difficult time gaining access to adequate amounts of safe, affordable, healthy food to live a normal, healthy, productive life. That's how they define food security. And after the onset of COVID-19 because it had a significant impact on household income, food insecurity spiked nationally and here in Hawaii, it reached a rate of 48% of households with children. So food insecurity or food insecurity is I think a pressing issue nationally and here in Hawaii, specifically to the native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander community. We have documented in research that the native Hawaiian Pacific Islander community experiences rates of household food insecurity at a higher than the state average and their rates of chronic illness are leading to three times the rate of premature death than the average state citizen. And so food insecurity and native Hawaiian health inequities, I think are two key issues. And then as I mentioned briefly at the beginning is the food and agricultural sector because of the ways that we produce food in part and the things that we consume, the food system is one of the largest drivers of global ecological change on the planet. It produces about 30% of total global greenhouse gas emissions and because of the types of foods that we produce predominantly and the patterns of dietary consumption that are happening all over the world, increasingly we're seeing very high rates of chronic illness growing throughout the world. So there's a couple of key concerns that I have over elements of the food system. The last I'll mention is that we're entering into this period of climate destabilization. And I think we've given inadequate amount of thought and planning to how do we build resilience and equity anticipating that there's gonna be future shocks to the system. Thanks. Now you've already sort of mentioned this but could we drill down a little deeper? You're describing or writing that the food system not only is it a social and ecological system but it's a political system. So could you say a little bit more about both of those and particularly what does it mean that the food system is a political system given example? So the food system is political in that the type of food and agriculture system that we have today, including how food is produced, which foods are affordable and what we tend to consume is deeply influenced by of course the economy where we find ourselves in the economic system in terms of our income and then also public policy. So to name a few public policies that have a profound impact on the food system I'll give a couple of examples. One would be say pesticide regulation and the U.S. or in Hawaii. An example would be chlorpyrifos an organic phosphate pesticide known to impact the cognitive development of children. That was on the market and used throughout the United States continues to be used here in Hawaii though it is now being phased out. So the allowance of certain kinds of agrochemicals in agricultural production has an influence over public health. So that's an important way that public policy specifically pesticide regulation can influence environmental quality and human health. Right, and what stands out to me is the way these all these different factors are interconnected. Right, that's right. And we see a public food policy environment that is generating a set of social and ecological externalities that's leading to environmental degradation and the compromising of human health and wellbeing. And that's my principal concern. And I think that that's moving to counter some of the trends in the modern food system is what I think we should be focusing on. Great, and this beautifully leads into my next question. I mean, not only would I like to hear more about what this looks like in terms of the political obstacles to that have that the political factors that have created the insecure undressed food system we have now, what would it mean to transform our existing food system? What would that look like and how could we sort of get there? Well, I would respond to your question this way. So in terms of what the future food system could look like once transformed, I would say I would identify a couple of key goals that a future food system should enable secure access to all people, to adequate, safe, affordable and even culturally appropriate and appropriate foods and essentially a nutritious diet. That should be a universal outcome of a sustainable food system. See an economically stable base of locally owned and family farm enterprises that use more ecologically based production practices drawing from local inputs. The biocultural restoration of traditional foodways here in Hawaii I think is particularly important to the native Hawaiian population and a couple of the things I would mention would be marketing and processing practices that create greater direct links between farmers, citizens and some of our key institutions in the state. And those things, if executed would not only improve public health but would circulate more dollars in the local economy, create jobs for our local citizens and increase the rate of employment in the agri-food sector. Great, so now I'd like to transition since we're fast, not running out of time but this is a short show. So I'd like to hear more about concrete ways in which the US, you believe the US food system could be, needs to be transformed. And along with that, I have a question that maybe you can answer it in whatever you have to say. Is there something about capitalism, the kind of economic system we live under that makes it particularly difficult to make these kinds of changes? I'd love your reflections on that as well. I'll try to weave some of those things together and I'll first talk at the national level and address your inquiry around the capitalist system and then we'll drill down maybe into the Hawaii context. So I guess first at a very broad level we have a food and agricultural sector like many industries that lacks true cost accounting for our food, so we are able to produce a lot of food products relatively efficiently but there's an enormous hidden cost embodied in the foods that we consume and how they're produced. So if we receive relatively affordable or cheap foods at our local fast food chain or in our grocery store it does not account for the soil degradation or soil erosion, eutrophication or nutrient pollution of our freshwater and marine ecosystems or their contribution of agricultural commodities to greenhouse gas emissions. So we have a system of food production where a lot of social and ecological costs are hidden and externalized and society is increasingly bearing a significant cost from the foods that we consume. So in one hand it appears cheap in the marketplace but we're paying a heavy indirect cost in terms of the type of food and agricultural system that we have today. So in terms of capitalism's role in that I would argue that we under capitalist exchange relations we have the ability to objectify elements of the natural world and turn them into commodities for profit making and that profit making process tends to pass on costs, the ecological and social costs to society as opposed to bear them in the production process and internalize those costs. So that would be my kind of short answer and then I think the other element that prohibits us from making meaningful changes in the food and agricultural sector at the national level is we have a system of public policies and subsidies commodity payment programs that favor the industrial mode of production and the production of certain types of commodities that make certain types of foods, processed foods, meats, et cetera much more affordable while other foods that we know are more health promoting fresh fruits and vegetables so-called specialty crops they remain relatively expensive. And so people tend to consume the things that their household income is going to support and often that is driving people toward diets that are not as healthy as they could be. Yeah, well, so I'd like to again segue more into what would need to happen to change the food system here in Hawaii. And as you're talking about that, could you highlight some of the roadblocks that we face as citizens and attempting to transform the food system? And I'm assuming because this is a global systemic problem those changes could not just happen in Hawaii alone but they'd have to be connected with broader wider changes nationally and even globally. So what do you think about that? A few comments again at the national level one of the things that my colleagues and I have researched is the advantages of biologically diversified farming systems. So we know that biologically diversified and organic farming systems tend to deliver a range of ecological services at a far higher rates than conventional modes of production. However, if you look at the US Department of Agriculture Research budget, a very small percentage of research and development dollars goes into research and development of alternative farming systems that minimize or reduce agrochemical inputs and generate these ecological benefits. So at the federal level, we have a US Department of Agriculture funding basis that tends to favor industrial modes of production. And similar to other aspects of the food system, there's very little amount of federal dollars that is flowing into the development of state and regional food systems. And so I think at a larger political economic level the US Department of Agriculture and other federal agencies have an important role to play in terms of the allocation of funds toward the development of alternative farming systems and regional food systems. So that's at the national level. And if you'd like me to, I can turn towards some of the major challenges and opportunities today in transforming elements of the food system of Hawaii, if that would be helpful. Yeah, why don't you do that and also include what the barriers or roadblocks are? You can focus on one of those levels and given those barriers, what can citizens do? And I also would wanna add, which you're well aware of, we're all aware of the increasing degradation of the climate across the globe and how that may even more drastically change the situation that we're facing over the next few years in order to make these kinds of changes, they may even some of them become mood points. So I'm playing a little devil's advocate here, but yeah, I'd like you to go into that more. All right, a couple of thoughts to share around major challenges and opportunities for transforming the food system of Hawaii. So at the highest level, I would offer the idea that because we lack a state level food system plan or charter to guide the food system of Hawaii toward achieving a set of our own sustainable development goals, that's a major obstacle. It has resulted in a certain amount of fragmentation among food and agricultural and other stakeholder groups to build a common vision and a shared strategy to strive toward and move toward in terms of the future of food and agriculture in Hawaii. So a lack of a state planning process and a formal state plan, and that has led to a certain amount of fragmentation and lack of robust collaboration around a similar set of goals and objectives. I think as a faculty member within the University of Hawaii system, I believe that there's also a lack of a comprehensive research and education agenda within the system and in collaboration with our NGO partners to support the types of systemic change to reach the defined and measurable goals that we may hold for our society in terms of health, equity, resilience and sustainability. So I think the University of Hawaii has an important role to play to do the empirical work, research and then educate future generations around how do we engage in the process of food system transformation and what would that future food system look like? I think a couple of other things that are important obstacles is getting into some of the fine grained details is that we have a low minimum wage relative to what's considered to be a living wage here in Hawaii and that's contributing to a high adjusted poverty rate. And so we should expect if we have a poverty wage that we're paying people that they're going to experience high rates of food insecurity and housing insecurity here in Hawaii. So I think our low minimum wage standard is really a systemic challenge that needs to be addressed to solve for multiple issues simultaneously. And so I think those are a few, I think at a level where we're taking into consideration climate destabilization and how we're going to mitigate and adapt to those evolving conditions. I think another important obstacle is that we really have inadequate resourcing to plan, coordinate and execute emergency food and feeding programs effectively in the state. So I'm a part of a working group that is attempting to understand such things as what is the number of people across the state of Hawaii in different communities that have the recommended 14 days supply of food and water and what is our strategy in order to get food to people in the case of some kind of natural or human caused disaster. So I think there's some important changes to funding key state agencies to do some of this work is also a very important obstacle that needs to be overcome. And then at the broadest level, I think we really need to think about new governance structures for executing on some eventual food system planner charter for the state of Hawaii, rethinking what is an appropriate agency configuration and collaboration with the NGO world to help advance and achieve some of the sustainability goals that the state has set for itself. So in wrapping up now, I just want to push you a little bit more on concretely what can concern citizens here in Hawaii do whether it's faculty in the UH system in terms of research or lobbying the state legislature, what's the role of the ordinary citizen here in the face of these formidable challenges that we're all facing including the threat of climate catastrophe. Can we give our listeners and viewers a little hope here? What can they do? No, I think at a basic level, of course, where you place your dollars, vote with your dollars in terms of supporting local agriculturalists, supporting the local food system is really important. Tracking bills in front of the state legislature and weighing in on those that you think are aligned with your values in terms of developing the type of food in agricultural sector you want to see and then I think importantly, as we're able to stand up the idea of executing on a state level food system planner charter to get behind the idea because I think that that is an important unifying vision that we're all going to need to start pulling in the same direction behind in order to achieve some of the goals and objectives we may have for the future of food and agriculture in Hawaii. And then I guess lastly, I'm working with a team of colleagues in a civil beat to run some educational programming to help people understand what are the pressing issues in the food and agricultural sector that we need to tackle. So look forward to some public education events on the future of food and agriculture in Hawaii that will be rolling out soon. Okay, well, thank you so much.

Hello, my name is Vladislav Kryptchenko and I live in Tri-Cities, Washington. I've been attending Hungry Generation since the beginning of the church and I've lived my life as a Christian. However, I've been living my life as a lukewarm Christian and not until recently have I acquired a passion for God and rededicated my life to Christ. And tonight I want to show that I've committed my life to Christ through baptism. Vladik, do you believe in Jesus Christ as God's Son and your personal Lord and Savior? I do. And do you promise to follow Him with good and clear conscience for the rest of your life? Yes. Based on your faith, confession and commitment will baptize you in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.


Hello, welcome to IED's 2015 annual report, shaping a fairer future. I'm Andrew Norton, I'm the new director of IED, I joined in the early summer of this year 2015. We're very proud of this report, it outlines an amazing range of work that IED did over the year leading up to the end of March 2015 in relation to our work on climate change and ensuring a better and fairer deal for the world's poor from global negotiations through to our work on markets, our work on natural resources and our work on human settlements. There's a fantastic amount in this report, I hope you enjoy it.


Do you believe in the afterlife? I don't know. No. Leaning more towards no. I feel like it's just a reaction to innate narcissism that we just believe that we can't not exist. I actually agree with Jennifer Lawrence. A lot of people are narcissistic in their understanding of the afterlife. They believe that they'll go to heaven simply because they walked old ladies across the street and they didn't cheat on their wife. The Bible says something different though. It says that we have rebelled against God and are guilty before him deserving of hell.  The problem is that you're comparing yourself to the guy beside you compared to him. Oh, I'm such a good guy. But compared to God, we fall infinitely short of his standard of goodness. That's exactly why we need Jesus. He lived the sinless life that we could not live in. He died on the cross, the death we deserve to die for our sins against God. And he rose again on the third day, defeating sin and death. And what you're called to do is stop putting your faith in your own goodness, but rather put your faith in Jesus to save you.


Thank you very much. Thank you for all you've done. Oh, thank you so much. Thank you. Thank you, thank you. Thank you, thank you very much. Let's go.


Welcome to this next segment of CD spectroscopy and MOSBIRS spectroscopy for the chemist. My name is Arnab Dutta and I am a professor in the department of chemistry at IIT Bombay. In the previous segment, we are discussing how we can define symmetry by mathematics. And when we talk about mathematical symmetry, there are two important parameters symmetry operations and symmetry elements. Symmetry operations are the movements that we do around a molecule or an object and we go to a totally newer configuration. If this newer configuration exactly matches the original one, we tell that there is a symmetry present over there and we define them as the term superimposable and indistinguishable. And this symmetry movement that we have done, it is known as the symmetry operation. Each of the symmetry operation typically performed around a geometric entity, either a plane or line or center, those are known as the symmetry elements. So far in the previous segment, we cover two of them rotational axis of symmetry where we are doing a symmetry operation rotation along with a line, the axis. And the next one, reflection through a plane of symmetry, we are doing the operation of a reflection through a plane of symmetry. Now, in the next segment, we are going to cover the third one, reflection through a center of symmetry. So that means over here, my symmetry operation is reflection, but over here, my symmetry element is not a plane as we have seen for reflections where plane of symmetry or the sigma, over here, the symmetry element is a point. That means just a center, a dot. And this is known as the reflection through a center of symmetry. There are another name of that called the inversion center. And that is why in short form, it is called I. So, as we have looked into all the other symmetry elements so far, rotational axis of symmetry is defined by Cn in subscript, then reflection through a plane of symmetry is defined by sigma. Similarly, reflection through a center of symmetry is defined with this I. Now, we will take some examples to define it. The first example I am taking is carbon dioxide. So, you can see there is a carbon dioxide, there is a carbon in the center and if I go through this center, I go to another oxygen. So, that means both sides are very similar. So, I can say there is a center of symmetry present in this molecule. If we take carbon monoxide on the other hand, you can see if you go through the center of the molecule which is the triple bond, if you go to the other side, there is a carbon instead of oxygen. So, we say there is no center of symmetry present, where in carbon dioxide it is. If you take nitrogen, dinitrogen molecule, again through the center of the molecule, you can see if you go through that you are going to go and take a look into another nitrogen atom. So, over there we will say center of symmetry is actually present. Now, take another molecule, xenon fluoride, xenon tetrafluoride and I am looking through the top view for this particular molecule and over there the center of the molecule. So, typically if you have a center of inversion or inversion center or reflection through a center of symmetry, it has to be in the center part of the molecule and the center part of the molecule does not always require to have an element present over there. So, over there xenon is present. So, if there is a center of symmetry, I should see a fluoride on the other side if I go through there I see go through there I see. So, that means I will say it actually has a center of symmetry. Now, if we take BF3, this is also the other molecule we have defined so far. So, if there is a center of symmetry it has to be present on the boron because there is center of molecule if I go through there on the opposite direction there is nothing similar for all these fluorines it is actually going through this imaginative center but it is not showing any other fluorine on the other side. So, if I reflect this fluorine through the center of the molecular boron I am not seeing the reflection on the other side where there is a fluorine already being present. So, it is not going to give me a superimposable and indistinguishable form if I do a reflection through the center. So, I will say there is no center of symmetry present in this particular molecule. Now, get to the next one say SF6 molecule which is octahedral in geometry. So, again the center of the molecule is a sulfur and if I go through that and reflect this fluorine these are reflected if I reflect through that reflected if I reflect through that they are all reflected that means the center of symmetry is present in this molecule. If I look into similar molecule of a metal metal typically try to have octahedral geometry say in this molecule and I have 6 similar ligands present over here exactly the same molecule. And over here I will say yes I have a center of symmetry because the ligands are all connected such a way that if I reflect through this plane through the center which is sitting in the middle of the molecule on the metal center it is having a center of symmetry. However, if I take the same molecule but say I am taking a bidented ligand say like NN bidented ligand is it going to have a center of symmetry. So, I am just writing NN is a bidented ligand bidented ligand means it actually binds with the metal with two different sides from the same molecule. And over here you can see if I reflect the nitrogen through the center I will see a nitrogen this nitrogen through the center I am seeing a nitrogen this nitrogen through the center I am seeing a nitrogen. But there is a connection there is some bond there are some atoms present over here if I reflect through them I am not seeing anything nothing not for this one. So, it is not only the atoms which is binding with the ligand and the metal is important but also the other entries everything has to be reflected properly through the center and this is not happening over here. So, you will say no there is no center of symmetry and the last one I would like to cover is the benzene molecule which we actually have covered earlier and over here you can see this is the benzene molecule and over here through the center of the molecule if I pass through this each of the segment is actually reflected to another portion which is matching superimposable and indistinguishable with original position that means benzene has a center of symmetry. However, if I reflect if I replace one of this hydrogen with an X this mono substituted benzene now does not contain the inversion center I anymore because this is fine happening this is fine happening but this one not happening. So, that is why the center of symmetry over here not present each and every portion has to match it is not like only a partial position is actually matching that means I can say I have a reflection through a center of symmetry we cannot say that we have to match each and every portion of it. So, that is known as a reflection through a center of symmetry. Now, we come to the fourth one improper axis of rotation. So, previously we have already gone through and rotational through an axis which is known as the proper axis of rotation because we are rotating it and along with a line and we are going to go to a indistinguishable and superimposable structure. However, in improper axis of rotation we are going to do two operations together consecutively.  Then, we are going to do a reflection around a plane that is perpendicular to that rotation we have just done. So, we are going to do two symmetry operation first is a rotation second is a reflection a relation between this rotation and reflection rotation is going to happen around an axis and reflection is going to happen around a plane and they will be perpendicularly oriented. So, obviously the symmetry elements we have over here also two of them one of them is a axis and the second one is a plane. So, we are going to do two of them together and if I am going to get after this two operations one is the rotation around an axis another is a reflection around a plane and if I am going to get to the similar looking molecule from the original that means a superimposable and indistinguishable structure only then we will say that we are having a improper axis of rotation and this is defined as SN very similar to CN but instead of C we are writing S and what is the N? N is defined again very similarly how much angle I am rotating over here during the CN operation. So, that is defined the N and this is the CN what I am rotating this is going to be the same as the SN. So, that is how it is defined in this particular system. Now, we are going to understand it better if we do it with an example. The example we are going to take is of methane. Methane molecule is actually having this tetrahedral structure in short form is a TD tetrahedral structure and this molecule we say we may have a S4 axis that means I have to first find out a C4 axis and a perpendicular plane that means nothing but a sigma H plane and if I do these two operations together I should get a similar looking molecule. We are going to do that operation and try to find if we are achieving a superimposable and indistinguishable structure or not. To do that I am drawing this molecule a little bit different orientation. So, I want to do the rotation around this axis and I want to bring that axis over here along with this where the CH bond is. So, I am going to rotate the full molecule and this is how it is going to look like. I am doing that because in this way we can understand the possible presence of the C4 axis better. So, now with this particular structure of this molecule if I rotate along this particular line 90 degree that means a C4 rotation. If I do a C4 rotation how the molecule will look like. Carbon is going to remain as it is. So, it is better to always do with each atom. These two hydrogen is in the plane of the paper and these two hydrogen is perpendicular to the plane of paper. So, when I do a 90 degree rotation this two hydrogen say like I am writing HA is going to come 90 degree to it because I am doing rotation of only C4 90 degree rotation. So, this particular molecule is going to rotate from this plane to this. So, this will be the HA molecules and what will happen to this say HP molecules. So, they are already perpendicular to that. So, if I rotate 90 degree they will now come to the plane of the paper and this is what is happening. So, now you can see I have done a C4 operation. This molecule where I start from and this is where I end. Are these super imposible and indistinguishable? No, not at this point with only C4 it is not. So, that is why methane molecule does not have a C4. So, it does not have a C4 axis because it is not going to give you a super imposible and indistinguishable structure. So, now I have to do a sigma plane a reflection during the improper action of rotation and this reflection has to happen perpendicular to the plane of the rotation. So, I have already rotate along with this axis. So, perpendicular to that that means this plane this is the sigma H I am going to do. So, if I do a sigma H operation over there what is going to happen? Carbon is going to stay as it is. This hydrogen A is what will happen there on the top in the beginning and there is my reflection plane. So, from the top they will come to the bottom in the reflection. So, they will come to the bottom these are the Hs. What will happen to this Hb which is actually lying below before the carbon? Now with this plane of reflection they will go to the top portion. So, this is I am going to get the Hb. So, this is the molecular structure I am going to get if I do a C4 followed by a perpendicular sigma or sigma H after that. And this molecule and this original molecule now you can see they are superimposable indistinguishable and we can say yes this molecule has a C4 and sigma H together if I run this operation that means I have a S4 axis of rotation. That means methane does not have a C4 but it contains an S4 axis. So, that is a very important conclusion because to have an Sn axis in a molecule if you already have a Cn, if you already have a sigma H that means you are going to have an Sn axis no problem with that. For an example when you talk about this Bf3 molecule it contains a C3 it contains a sigma H that means Bf3 will contain an S3 axis. So, if a molecule already contains a Cn and sigma H it will obviously going to have Sn. But it does not mean that if a molecule does not have Cn and does not have sigma H that it cannot have Sn. It still can have Sn and methane is one of the biggest example of it where I do not have a C4 and in this methane molecule I do not even have the sigma H the molecule does not have any sigma H plane somewhere anywhere else. So, no sigma H no C4 but it still have an S4 axis. So, that is why improper axis of rotation is very much important on this respect. And over here I want to mention one more thing that when you talking about Sn axis of rotation there is a possibility that you are going to have a S1 system what is a S1 system that means you are doing a C1 rotation followed by sigma H.  So, that is why this is nothing but only sigma operation and because C1 360 rotation does not really mean anything we can simplify it to a sigma operation a plane of reflection.  On the other hand S2 can be equilibrate with a reflection through a center or inversion center. So, there are different explanation why it is so because it is a little bit out of the scope of this particular course we are not going into that but you can figure it out in any of the books or available materials where they have been proven that S2 that means a C2 followed by sigma H the operation you are going to do you end up as a same thing as a reflection through a center of inversion. So, if a molecule have S1 and S2 basically you are saying you have a sigma or a center of inversion. So, these are the two most simple S axis of symmetry you can imagine and you can also have higher order of SN where N is greater than 2 and over there as you have just discussed it does not always mean that you have to have a CN and sigma H present it may or may not be present and you can still have a new SN axis of rotation. So, that is where we are going to get to the next one. Now, the last operator is a identity operator which is nothing but a C1 operation the C1 operation that we just discussed a 360 degree rotation and over here we just basically leave the molecule as it is and this is known as the identity operator and this is defined by this term E. This term E is actually defined by this German term which is known as Einheit which means so you might be wondering like why do we need this particular operator it does not really mean anything I am just leaving the molecule as it is that is actually very much important because so far we have covered a few of the symmetry operations like axis of rotation CN reflection plane sigma which can have different variations sigma H sigma V and sigma D depending on their positioning with respect to the principle axis of rotation and also whether they are bisecting other perpendicular C2s or not. Then we have gone through center of inversion or I and we have also gone through the improper axis of rotation or SN where we are doing a rotation and reflection consecutively. And if we also put this operator E in the bunch all this five we can put together in a group which is known as a mathematical group with that it follows certain properties where they are going to have some interrelation between them. So, for a particular molecule I probably do not need to find each and every symmetry element out of them if we know a few of them which are actually finding and present in that molecule we can figure it out what is that mathematical group it belongs to and then from there we can connect to something called character table which is already available from mathematical description it is an equivalent of periodic table but instead of elements and their properties we look into mathematical operations the symmetry operations that we have just discussed all this five and from there we can define what are the different elements present over there and these are the symmetry elements that we are covering over here. So, now we would like to conclude this segment over here. So, in this particular segment we have covered the different symmetry elements that can be present in a molecule that can be rotational axis of symmetry C n that can be reflection symmetry through a plane sigma which can be sigma h sigma v or sigma d sigma h is a sigma plane which is perpendicular to the principal axis C n and what is the principal axis C n where I have the highest number of n or lowest number of angular rotation possible to get to a superimposable and indistinguishable structure. Sigma v is a sigma plane which is actually a plane which contains the principal axis and sigma d is a special kind of sigma v which is by definition is very similar to sigma v that means contains the principal axis but it bisects two C tools which are actually perpendicular to the principal axis C n. Then we have this center of symmetry I where it is nothing but reflection through the center of the molecule and it allows us to get a superimposable and indistinguishable form if it presents. The center of symmetry typically presents in the center of the molecule but it does not really needs to have an element present over there for an example benzene does not have it. Then comes this improper acceleration or Sn which actually covers two sets of symmetry operation first a rotation around an axis that means basically C n followed by a plane of reflection which is perpendicular to the acceleration we just did so it is doing C n and sigma h together. This Sn axis also defines that you can say the corollary that S1 is nothing but a sigma plane and S2 is nothing but a center of symmetry I. And we have also found that this Sn axis can be present even the C n or sigma h is not present on their own if they are present obviously you are going to have a Sn but if they are not present even then you can have an Sn and we have discussed that with the example of methane molecule which does not have a C4 which does not have a sigma h but it contains an S4 axis. And lastly we have this identity operator E which covers the full group of this symmetry so that we can create a mathematical group and connect that to character table to understand the properties of a molecule with respect to their symmetry. And over here we are thinking about okay now we know we are actually going to have this kind of symmetry elements but how to connect that with cd spectroscopy because cd spectroscopy connect that with chirality and over here one of the thing we are going to find out that a molecule which does not have an Sn axis it is going to be chiral but how to find out a molecule whether it has or has not any Sn axis that trick we will learn in the next segment. So over here we would like to conclude over here today. Thank you. Thank you very much.


It is very tribal. And I think that the solution to all these challenges has to be ultimately intellectual. It has to be a, you know, to a large extent, educational institutions, particularly the premier education institutions like Harvard and UPenn, have been taken over by a certain segment within the left that is very dangerous and very anti the ideas of the enlightenment that made the West the West, that made America America. And they're chipping away and they're cutting, they're chipping away at our identity. And what we need is to propose new ideas, ideas of the enlightenment, from the enlightenment to resurrect kind of that spirit of Americanism and that spirit of individualism that I think permeated this country and permeated much of the West for a long time and now being undercut dramatically.
