We want to add agency rehab. That's all the other folks show up. So that's a solution that's probably for solving. And how do you solve it? Well, you may use a word of trust, you may use Mailchimp, you may use a video, you may use this, you may use that. Those are the tools to solve the problem. That's not the problem in itself. So we're all creating problem solvers, right? We're on that. So, Trinity, we, we, Trinity by meeting our company, we evolved into this problem solving agency where I would ask my team, they say, what do we do? Well, we build kids that has a word for us. They're like, ooh, wake up. No. Actually, that's one more guys to eat. I actually said that to them, wake up. I didn't hit a microphone because we're not that pretentious. But we just use tools to solve the problem. The tools that we, we take, the tools to match the solution to solve the problem. And that can be worked. This is kind of where it gets murky, wouldn't be a word for us to work. You know, I love word press.  So that's key for us. But we also use other tools. Act a team. Remember those little websites, right? Community conversion. Remember our problems. And let's add the problems that you guys. So here's the magic in here. You're brand invisible. What's the, what do we use to solve that problem? We use content. We use web presence. We can build a word press site. We can do this. We can do that. Lack of revenue. If you're a product of inexperience, operation is not marketing or sales. When you solve problems, you win. Right? Anybody agree with that when you solve problems, you win? Last one, last three points, and I'm going to show up and listen to the questions. I always use these last couple of slides of every word camp that I speak at. This is where really passionate about the community. So after this, go do. Think of things differently. Go take what we're talking about, put it into play. I always try to structure my word camp talks because it's a lot to teach, you know, in 45 minutes or 40 minutes or 37 minutes. You can go and impart your business right away. At least start thinking differently. Perfection is the enemy of products. You're never going to be perfect at doing this. You're always going to think at the end of the day, I've got to make paper.  You know, you're always going to have those thoughts. You're never going to escape this. Always going to be in line. Perfection is the enemy of products. Don't wait for perfect. Don't wait to have a perfect mindset. Don't wait for the perfect this. Perfect doesn't happen. How many people out there do little work for websites want to launch a site? Their client says, I want to launch it when it's perfect. Yeah. Holy Jesus. What we do in our company is we launch every site in 90% of the world. Because we are only so smart. Client's only so smart. The research we did is only so right. Let's let the world tell us how to make up that app, that 10% app. This is the biggest thing about Wordcam. This is the biggest thing about the WordPress world. Go help someone. If you have more knowledge than somebody else that's using WordPress, I guarantee you. You are further along the continuum than somebody else. 100%. I hope to be here next year listening to you. One of you guys is talking. You know what I mean? Go help somebody. Because that's what we're all here for. That's how we can make the biggest change. And that's how we can affect changeable. So, thank you for listening to me. Thank you. Sorry for being kind of like that. Any questions that we need to talk about? Yes. I have a question. This is kind of hard at first water. It's a special time. Like 10 grand, 5 years ago now. Well, it's great, but I spent 10 years since last year. So, you need to update the site. And they say no. And then, you know, then I have to give it to that client. But I can't solve that problem with them. We're not going to spend the money. So, I spent 10 grand in 1989 on my first brand new car. 1989. That stuff. You know, you can't save everybody.  That some people are just content with sucking. No matter how good you are at your job. And no matter how skilled and how person you are. If you don't, if they, if it doesn't make sense to them. You're content with sucking. Or maybe they're not a good fit for what you do. Maybe there's lobbies that people all work with. One another. Maybe there's personality matters.  But like, I don't think that that's the case that we're talking about. I think that some people are just like, well, I spent all this money years ago. Why doesn't this still work? When you put it on with a solution to their problem, they think that that actually is the problem. No, it's your social media. It needs to be your social media. My social media is nothing. 100% degree. And the digital marketing strategy kind of changed gears real quick. I see you all. I got you a second time. In the digital marketing strategy, the website, it's like a solar system, right? The website is the same as everything else floats around it. And pulls back to the website. So, I mean, I understand. I think everybody in this room understands. I know she understands. She could raise her hand like crazy over here. But you know what I mean? It's one of those things where it's just like, if they don't understand and they don't get it, if they're not ready to understand, maybe there's a bigger universe than they have. I don't know. Or they're just content and suck. You can't save everyone. Yeah. Can you say, just because they build it up? Feel the dreams. Feel the dreams. Right? Everybody feel the dreams? If you build it, they will come. Bullshit! That's another reason. It's an iterative approach, and that's another reason that we want 90% to start getting them into that main frame. Main mindset, rather, where it's like, hey, this isn't a wallet process. Anybody here and considers yourself an SEO expert? Here we go. So, SEO is a moving target. Is it not? If I pay you X amount of dollars to go and optimize for whatever we have, I can hold up and solve whatever problem. What can happen to our algorithms to change? Algorithms to change. Is this problem to change? How many birds deal with anyways? Search intent. Search intent, exactly. So, it's always a moving option. And it's the same thing with a great website. That's why we go for progress and not perfection. If I can get clients to buy into, it's iterative. Let's strive for progress and not perfection. Then there are great clients. They're the ones who say, well, I spent $10,000 in 1989. Why does my multiple fox still run? Multiple foxes. That sounds like crash.  What's that? Yeah, I did. And there's an image between how to use it. But you know what I do? It's an iterative process. We keep moving on and on and on. There's no way that anything, anybody ever finish a website? It's like the job that keeps going. I appreciate you saying, you can spend $10,000 on a system, but if you, well, made this... You don't think that still happens? I just said that. But at least you have the other user interface. But why do we have that though? Why do we have that? Honestly, why do we have that? Why do we have that in this room? Because WordPress has come a long way. And the perception of WordPress has come a long way.  You know what I mean? And it's like, as a community, we are highly skilled professionals now. And like, we have been for... In our understanding of how technology is now part and parcel to drawing the business-making decisions. You know, it's a cost of doing business. It's a cost of doing business. Exactly. You know, my brother, he went through this great transformation. He lost all his weight. He gives me a picture. He wants to do this, you know, what's it called? Like, transformation to the... Whoo! You know? And I'm just so, so far... So he gives me a photo. I was like, can you Photoshop everybody out of this photo so that I can do... The background's gone, too. He's 32 years old. You know what I mean? So, yes it is. Pretty goddamn good at what they do. And pretty technologically savvy in 60's and 70's. Those are people I've jumped over, I think. And that is, what is the measurement of success? And every business, whether it's a nonprofit or a for-profit, an author, an e-com site...  I'm selling a Daniel website. Well, thank you. So where is... Where does that come from? I don't know. I understand that. We just kind of jumped over that subject matter. Because a lot of the consulting work we do in our business is helping people understand what their yardstick is. Yeah. And then the agency where I was there, the KPIs, the key performance indexes or the key business indicators and you know, what's my RR? I just don't understand. And that's one of the questions that we do ask in what we are doing at consulting is what does success look like to you? What does success look like to you? Consistency looks like me up in increasing revenue by 30%.  I can't control that. You know what? I'm not really a gambler. Think that I know a lot about it. You know what I'm saying? So it's just like, that's one of those things you're not willing to take a risk on saying, oh yeah, we can help you. No, because you can't. She wants to sell books. Yeah. And Barnes & Noble. How can that work? I mean, how can her website use something better than Amazon and Barnes & Noble? Our position in hers is something kind of expert again, her thing. Her speaking engagement. There it is. And that's what we focus on. And oh, by the way, you buy the books. Or, you know, the best marketers, the best web developers, the smartest individuals you can't solve. All of my game now I'm grabbing Toyota. So I'm going to take the Toyota back to Mission Beach after this. There's a lot of them, actually. That's a great question. I think a sheet point out a lot of them.  They won't listen to you. They know it all. They have somebody, they have somebody who is, you know, better, smarter, or dada-dada on the inside, et cetera, et cetera. There's a lot of different red flags that come up. Sometimes you just don't want to listen to somebody and they don't want to listen to you. You know what I mean? You know, there's a lot of different things. I think that. Like, like Dre said again, trust your gut. You are smarter.  Or anybody else at that meeting, right? When you get that, oh, trust that. So, I'm out of time. Thank you guys so much.


How to adjust your teaching to the needs of the beginner students As the term beginner students refers to the level of students knowledge, I have decided to focus on beginner level and different age groups Therefore, this essay will be divided into teaching beginner young students and beginner adults My definition of a beginner student is the following, regardless of age This is a learner with very little or no previous knowledge of the English language However, there are certain things we should aim to know about every age group What are the likes and dislikes of this particular age group? What is their purpose if they even have one for learning the English language? How to appear approachable to them in order to deliver the best results? This post was written by our TEFL certification graduate Alexandra dot teaching beginner young students As young students can be divided into two groups, learners ages 5 to 9 and learners ages 9 to 13 I would like to further divide this particular section as the approach, advantages, possible problems, and activities can differ Group 1, beginners ages 5 to 9 You do not need much teaching experience to assume what young students enjoy Simply think of yourself when you were a child This age group enjoys a lot of movement, singing, being loud, playing a lot of games, arts, and crafts Children of this age dislike being static for long periods of time Therefore, our activities should be made in accordance with their likes and dislikes The topics we will probably deal with are greetings, family members, numbers, feelings, animals, places in a town, food, the weather, body parts, and household items Something you can always use is arts and projects Personally, I have found that getting students to work in groups of 4 or 5 is a wonderful way of organizing the classroom Assigning simple tasks, such as designing a house together or dressing paper dolls up tends to allow the students to communicate and develop teamwork as well An important thing to remember is that teaching young students tends to put the teacher in the position of a psychologist quite often And so the teacher may not only be responsible for their language learning, but also they're growing up Therefore, activities that will develop teamwork is something I would personally use a lot as a teacher The advantages of teaching beginner young students are the following A lot of creativity is allowed, they are active and usually enjoy working with you and showing off how much they know, they seem to absorb the language quickly They also come to you as a clean slate with no previous learning experience or judgment, and so they should adapt to your teaching style easily Some of the disadvantages and problems could be a lack of discipline and difficulties in getting the students to calm down Group 2, beginners ages 9 to 13 Although the topics you will be dealing with while working with this group are almost the same as when teaching group 1, ages 5 to 9, the activities you would do are very different The likes and dislikes of this age group are different This is the age when children become self-conscious and so do not enjoy shouting and acting and singing the way young learners do They enjoy talking to their peers, music, popular culture, social media and dislike anything they deem embarrassing, such as pretending, impersonating, etc Therefore, you should adopt certain activities to them For instance, the suitable way to teach this group about feelings, although the vocabulary would be the same as for group 1, would not be to get them to make funny expressions, but rather to use emoji and have them connect the appropriate emoji to a certain emotion TPPR is always encouraged, although less than with younger learners, at this age you could aim for more pairwork and group work that can be done solely with your encouragement rather than too much guidance, as would be the necessity for group 1 The biggest advantage of teaching beginner young students ages 9 to 13 for me personally is not having to spend as much energy on movement as you do with group 1 However, possible problems could be higher, students choosing to misbehave because it's cool, for example It is also plausible that these students will not have a purpose for learning unless they enjoy English-American pop culture so you should do your best to give them 1, teaching adult beginner learners Although it seems like teaching adult beginner learners would be easy, this group of learners could even be the most challenging one Despite the obvious advantage of teaching adults, they have a purpose for learning English and will be focused, they also come with the previous learning experience It is possible they will not be likely to adapt to your style easily and will also feel rather self-conscious of making mistakes Creating a pleasant and stress-free learning environment and grading your language should take care of this though You needn't be too stressed about activities, as for adult learners, it is highly appropriate to use worksheets, but you should still try to keep them creative Another potential issue is creating a balance between topics materials and your learners' expectations If it is possible they will have a limited amount of time for learning and will want to achieve as much as possible I believe the best way to teach adults is situational learning as this gives them a sense of fulfilling their purpose, they will be able to use this knowledge in real life Are you ready to teach abroad? Finally, what is similar about teaching all beginner learners? You should grade your language, you cannot use expressions such as discrepancy or monolingual with beginners Keep a balance between stronger and weaker students, be creative and encourage them Make sure they feel like they are achieving their goals As teachers, we should try to provide beginner students with the motivation to progress to higher levels Now for your TEFL TESOL certification course and start teaching in a matter of months Speak with an ITTT advisor today to put together your personal plan for teaching English abroad Send us an email or call us toll free at 1-800-490-0531 To speak with an ITTT advisor today


Hi everybody, Joe for Jaspy's casebreaks.com, coming at you with our last filler, that mosaic basketball cereal box, given with the last nine spots in that hip parade dual case break that's coming up in the next video.

Well, I grew up in Aniston, Alabama, and my dad was a Coca-Cola bottler. We moved to Pensacola in 1967. I was not a very good golfer, but I wanted to play golf in college. My dad was responsible, along with three other bottling groups in Alabama that came together as a consortium that helps support and sponsor the Bear Bryant Show. So he knew Preacher Franklin, who was one of Coach Bryant's good friends, and so he asked Preacher to ask coach, could he please help me with a scholarship? I was not a very good player, but because the Coca-Cola connection with the Bear Bryant Show and Coach Bryant was the athletic director, they ended up giving me, I think, meals and books my freshman year. Well, I really didn't ever think I was going to be good enough to be a pro golfer. I wanted to be one, but I was not a good player. When I qualified to play the US Amateur the start of my senior year, I had no idea I was going to win it. And so my goal then was to become a professional golfer, so I didn't go to school, I didn't graduate. Coach Bryant would always call me until he died, and I spent a lot of time with him. He said, pro, you got to get your college degree. It means a lot to the University of Alabama. And finally in 1997, when my daughter came up to freshman orientation, Susie, my wife, and I were driving back with Jenny. And she said, I'm going to have the first degree from the University of Alabama, and I thought about it, and it kind of bugged me because I'm so competitive. I joined the Arts and Sciences, the external degree program, and I set it up where I could come back and graduate with my daughter. We walked through graduation in 2001 with our caps and gowns on. And unfortunately, the bet she had with me, she won because they called Jenny Payton before they called Jerry Payton. I was always the guy on the PGA Tour when Alabama did anything in sports with the Bear Bryant story, a Gene Stalings story, everybody in the locker room say, hey, that's your 10, you know, do you hear about this? Alabama, to me, was probably the most important part of my career, my life, other than meeting my wife and having my children. I learned more in those last four years doing those last 30 hours than I learned in my whole life. Coach Bryant, he says, I want you to act well, I want you to speak well, and I want you to dress well and represent the University of Alabama class. And he always meant that.


So this is the water filter we've made over the last couple of days It's very simple. It's just three buckets one of gravel one of sand one of charcoal And then it's the wooden frame just to hold it up. This is the water that went into it That's the water that came out of it. If you look at that What? What's the cup? We'll have to bring that water right now So this and the little floaty bits kind of blew in after like the bucket was open So the only tools as such that you need to actually make the filter itself Is um some screens So we made these with various sized steel mesh. I just got from hardware stores in town Um, there's like the finest one I could find A sort of coarser one Um A really coarse one for the gravel and a really fine one for getting rid of the powder Basically any kind of frame which holds your mesh in that kind of shape Will do the job. It doesn't need to be made well. It just needs to be something you can hold on to and just keep the mesh type ish um And then these are all standard things like these Metal mesh sizes are very common at hardware stores. So you just get like a half a meter or something cut out of square basically the entire process is just to Get the things and then sort them by size using the screens So the gravel is some gravel So you want to get gravel put it through the largest screen So that you end up with sort of like that as your largest size And then probably put it through this screen to get rid of like the dust and the sand and all the non-gravely bits um And that's pretty much the process for these as well. You want to use a screen Large enough or small enough that only the small bits get through and then use a Really small screen to get rid of the really small stuff because anything that's too slain anything too big Won't work obviously But anything that's too small will tend to glue the system closed. So like With the sand and charcoal especially We just got some sand just from down here like just just right there um You put it through this screen to get like Fairly fine sand to get rid of like the the chunks But then it was really important to put it through the cloth screen. Where's the where's the That's gonna be interesting in the sound though So um If you just put it through the fine screen that you get like this good core stuff, which is what you want But you also get really fine sand and that fine sand basically turns into cement when it turns gets wet and so the water can't get through because basically like if you imagine that's a grain of sand and You've got other grains of sand near it There's enough space between them that water can get through But if you've got really tiny little bits of sand they fill up all of those spaces And then the water can't get through if you've got big chunks of like, you know Almost like small rock then the spaces are too big and too much gets water gets through it doesn't get filtered properly so This is about the size of sand that you want basically like sort of quite coarse kind of sand But it's like I don't have any of the fine stuff that I took out, but the fine stuff is like dust And with that in it the water just sort of didn't go through at all And then It's almost it's basically exactly the same process with the charcoal except you need to grind the charcoal first So that mortar and pestle that we had Was pretty much perfect or you could also use like a mechanical grinder Like a coffee grinder or like what they use for the vegetables here um And that Just looks like that So the gravel and sand i'm going about three quarters full bucket, but that's fairly arbitrary This i'll probably fill up a little bit more so it's half full But again like that's about the size that you want so Kind of a little bit even coarser than the sand Like a little sort of like almost like rice kind of size or half rice um And so that's yeah charcoal just just normal cooking charcoal We just bought a bag of chocolate charcoal ground it up and again just filtered out filtered it with the I think we used the like the sort of coarse-ish mess and then I think you could you could use the cloth mesh But for this what I did was I just washed it through That metal mesh there So just like put them in a bucket mixed it with water and then pour it out the water over this Kept what this mesh kept back put that in the bucket and then the The black liquid basically with like the really fine charcoal, which is too fine again was gluing the whole system closed um, just chucked it out so you left with With that like black rice basically and that's about that's about perfect. So that's that's it.  It's too small get rid of the charcoal. It's too big. Get rid of the charcoal. It's too small. Bam That's it for the buckets These buckets are actually these are 6 000 shillings each I reckon I can hang all the guy down to 5000 And they're pretty much the entire expense system because everything else is just dirt charcoal There's a scrap wood Um, you can also make the system out of anything that will hold this stuff So like clay pots or something like they make here would work just as well All it has to do is just hold the things Have a sort of a hole on the top and sort of a hole on the bottom Um for these lids, I just got my knife. I just like punched like eight little slits In there. I then kind of like twisted the knife just to make it a bit bigger. That works fine I then for the buckets Oh, that's good stuff. Um I did similar I just Can't even really see but like um, again just like punched some like some little holes twisted the knife eight That's fine in the center and then the water drains out of here. There's some These lids are a perfect shape and then I got that little bowl there So the water just sort of goes in there and then drains into the next bucket. Um, and the only other thing was It wasn't necessary in this but on these two, um, I took a bit of this This fabric Fold it over a couple of times and then glued it with some super glue but any glue would do onto over those holes so that The water doesn't wash out The um the charcoal in the sand the wooden frame is just basic woodworking It can be in this configuration or it can be just like A table with a hole in it that you stack them on like anything which basically keeps the buckets From falling over and keep them high enough that you can put like a jerry can or like underneath and then just like um Some kind of like thread or rope or string or like these like straps just to tie it on nice and tight So that if like, you know, a kid knocks into this or something like it doesn't doesn't fall off And just sit that in the center. These are air holes Um, because as the water moves down it kind of displaces the air and the air needs to be able to escape A couple of small holes in the side of the lid there or somewhere on the outside here Like this one just sort of keeps it so that the water can keep moving without Doing weird things with the air pressure and that's it. That's it. That's the entire process You make the stuff you put it in the buckets you punch some holes you make it rain and you get a water filter Yep So this is the united nations water, this is the water they give you to drink which is I mean, if you're not getting sick, I guess it's fine, but it's also not very clean I'm gonna uh today later today. I'm gonna go and get some ball water like from the from the ground pump And put that through and see what that looks like and then take some samples and get them tested in arua somewhere You know what? This water is much better than the one for the sea crystal the reason when they brought the Nile This water is totally different test, but this is awesome No test of my soul no test of what so it's better Like the other water of the other this Nile water the bottle water These things do get better over time. There's a biofilm which needs to grow on the sand And the charcoal needs to activate a little bit, which means the pores like the nano pores need to open up a bit So this is just sort of first wash Kind of just getting the thing primed kind of uh kind of timing this one that I had going last night with this water It seems to be doing About eight liters per hour So which is okay, I'm gonna work on improving that But that's already sort of like fast enough. I think You only want to put about Three of these jokes in here Otherwise you'll overfill the system. So three of these bush bush bush Come back an hour later and you'll have that basically, um This is also completely scalable like you can use larger buckets You can use smaller buckets the purpose of each of these things is to get progressively smaller So the gravel takes out like the bits of stick and grass and like the large sort of clumps of stuff in the water And then the sand The sand has like two effects.  It's just like And then it keeps them that keeps it there that takes out the the large stuff That takes out the medium stuff that takes out the small stuff and what comes out at the end should be just water It will be necessary at some point to clean this filter out because the stuff that Gets taken out of the water stays in the bucket I'm thinking probably about once a year if you just sort of Take out buckets one by one empty them into a basin Give them a bit of a wash Throw out the water and then chuck the stuff back in the bucket and then it's good to go for another Year, maybe six months that sort of thing like when you get like commercial Filters made in like factories and that sort of stuff Given by an NGO. It's got to be basically the same technology except you know in a nice plastic housing With a logo on the side, but this will be more effective because it's bigger And free


About 13 years ago, I was in a polytechnic studying accounting and because I became the best student in my class, I also became very famous in the department. My school usually has many groups and clubs. Some of them are academic while some of them are social. Then the most influential academic club in my department set their eyes on me. The older people in that club wanted to make me the leader of the next generation of the club. This was not legitimate as the leader ought to be chosen by an election, but they were willing to step on the law anyway because they think that I would be a great person to lead their club. But when they let me know about their intention, I did beyond thinkable. I turned down their offer. This was crazy because almost everyone in our department would have jumped in such a luxurious offer, but there's more to it than that. There's a single word I've learned to use which makes me a better human being and in today's video, I'm going to be discussing with you the single most important word you can learn to use. If you're new here, consider subscribing so that you won't miss other interesting videos like this. Now, here's the thing. The most important word you can ever learn how to use is the word no. Your response to most of life's offers should be no. No way of thinking about options and choices around you should be no. I'll explain why this is important. Saying no to good John D. Rockefeller said, You must learn how to say no to good because of the great. Think about the story I told you at the beginning of this video. They wanted to make me the leader of a very influential club when I was only age 20. That should have been a great joy for me, but it wasn't. It wasn't great news for me because I was aiming at returning my position as the best student in my class and I was trying to build my organization. If I had said yes to the offer of becoming the leader of such a great club, then I'd lose much of my time to the activities and meetings of the club. This may lead me to lose my position as the best student I was and I may never have the time to build my organization.  So you have to say no to good and go for the great. When I left school as one of the best students, I decided not to collect my certificate or have any degree. This is because I never wanted to work for anybody. In my part of the world, the good thing to do is to work for a bank or an oil company. For me, there's a thing better than the good and that's a great thing. To me, it's better to build a bank than to work for a bank. So I decided to build a bank by building my own business. In life, if you don't learn how to say no to good things, you'll end up being average because most good things simply make you like everyone else. Say no to the advertisers. According to the Nielsen company, $117 billion was spent on all U.S. advertising in 2009. Ten years later in 2019, the digital ad spend alone is estimated to be $333 billion. And by 2023, the digital ad spend alone is estimated to be more than $500 billion. You think about that.  Well, every company tends to get you to say yes to their product. And that's why some studies show that you see more than 4,000 ads every day. Literally, too many people want your money and unfortunately, most people say yes to many companies. Until you learn how to say no, your life will not be yours. Think about this. The most important things you do with your phone is to call, send text, browse the web and take photos. You bought an iPhone two years ago and it's doing all these essential things very well. But because the guys at Apple know that you're weak, they've added a few more features. The features you probably don't need. Several months before they release these features, they have been rumors of speculations but the company says nothing. Suddenly you start seeing the ads on your phone which were made in heaven. The guys who hold these phones are cute and smart and so are you. If every smart guy uses the latest iPhone, why wouldn't you? You say yes and that means you have to lose your $1,000 or more to own this precious acid. The automobile industry does the same thing. Grocery stores do the same thing. Everybody else does the same thing. They want you to part way with your money. They want you to give your money to them and you don't have the cut to say no. Well, until you learn how to say no, you can't have a life of your own. Say no to the media. I read a study in recent times that claims that an average person spent about 9.3 hours every day on the internet. This would not have been a scene if you had spent all this time on our channel. Hahaha. No. Even if you spent too much time on our channel, even though it's an educative channel, you still don't get ahead in life. The reason is simple. If you learn and don't act, you won't succeed in anything. That is about educative content on the web. Talking about entertainment content and social media, there's nothing inherently bad about them except they are like sugar. For instance, I try as much as possible to avoid sugar and alcohol. Not because any of these is bad, but because they are addictive and their addiction can ruin your life. Today, as we make this video, I don't use Facebook, Instagram or Twitter. That's not because it's a scene or a bad thing, but because when I used Facebook, I got addicted to it and I knew that it was a bad thing for my life. You mustn't be addicted to anything except things that make you money or help you fulfill your mission in life. For instance, if I make $10,000 every month on social media, how is that a bad thing to spend 9 hours every day, right? Where you make $10,000 every month. But if it is for entertainment, why would you want to consume entertainment, gossip or rumors 9 hours every day?   In summary, you have to learn how to use the word no.  You have to learn how to say no to people who are negative because they will make you become like them. You have to say no to the excessive media consumption because time is the only asset you can ever have. You have to say no to good things in life and devote your life to great things.

There's so much value in other names and names that I would probably not trade a year ago or even six months away Hell even four months ago now. I'm trading on a day-to-day basis. I'm even trading a lot more small caps because Welcome to access a trader the number one community for those who are committed to taking control of their trading in order to achieve Success profitability and longevity. Thank you for joining us Here's Dan Shapiro to help you find your edge master your process and own your future Hey guys giving everybody welcome to another edition of the access a trader that commonly wrap up show Hope everybody is doing well. Hope everybody had a great three-day weekend nothing really to report as far as Macro change right you have the market kind of doing them what the market does the market was very very strong Pre-market futures are surging up 200 points had a little bit of profit-taking You know NASDAQ can pause it down a little bit the the Dow up a little bit again That's not going to make or break your day And you know again these indexes kind of been kind of irrelevant for a very very long time What what's amazing what continues to work and you know We talked about this kind of nausea for the last several weeks all these small cap stocks getting really Aggressive option flow and if you've been kind of watching this broadcast just for the last you know even the last several weeks You saw OGI go nuts. You saw DNN and DNN still going nuts. So we had this little one today This ITP which which just a really amazing movie if you really think about this You had buyers coming in you're the same common denominator over and over and over again you have Out of the money calls coming in right you know two and a half and four dollar calls coming in all day like literally all day They're coming in short-term expiration. They're coming for the March 19 expiration. I said look the stocks to the dollar 18 That's where we got along you know dollar 18 and the stock right now is a dollar 48 after hours Just just an unbelievable thing and the most incredible part about this is I'm not a Small-cap trader. Okay, that that's not my game It doesn't make a difference again here here. You could see you could see all the repeat call buyers And they were coming in small at first and they started coming in very very aggressively With with two and a half's and four dollar calls as well But you know the funny thing is I'm not a small-cap trader anymore I used to be years and years and years ago the game has changed all these alert service and all that stuff But this is what's working right now like it's working really really well And again, I don't know how long this is going to continue to work but until it does Anything that's out of the money that's repeat aggressive call buyers You know you almost have to have to take and and and see how long this trend lasts and until it does It's a pretty good game other than that a good action in the markets We'll talk about the pivots in a second I think that the the most important takeaway what we continued to see You know not that the market is not strong the market is very very strong But technology as a whole is really not mirroring how strong the market is of course NVIDIA is still acting incredibly well right that from that 560 breakout we talked about that from that 587 confirmation acting very very well You know doing doing the run up ahead of earnings zoom Continues to act very very well Broke out above that 400 405 channel But again if you look at the rest of the group and it really does sound like a broken record But you have to at some point say well wait a minute if there is At any type of back test and again when we talk about back tests remember We're still using that 305 number on the cues and if you look at the cues You know there's no way near so the idea that we are set for a back test in the overall market is ridiculous Right is absolutely ridiculous. We're still 30 points above this whole macro channel that we have to even Entertain before the market you could talk about technical damage So we know we're there but the point is well what what are these stocks going to do? I mean like when are they going to finally wake up? I mean look at amazon right? It's been sitting in this channel for an incredibly long time They came out with earnings no stock split no no any news that will give you any type of catalyst to run right Nothing you had netflix come out with incredibly good earnings and all they did was just sell off and now kind of go sideways Like every single day i'm sitting here and I say to myself well, maybe today's it's finally going to come out of the channel Well, maybe tomorrow it's finally going to come out of the channel eventually these stocks do and again When you look at facebook we'll talk about facebook in a second Facebook is it was another name at least it finally got out of the channel today and made a little push But if you look at all the names, there's something really really wrong with technology We don't know what it is, but the strong ones when we when they do confirm They do make moves we talked about google On the weekend update had a really aggressive move here not only took out The 2100 channel it broke out above the earnings highs of 2115 and put in a high of almost 2150 So there's some names that are acting very very well squares another one That's been doing incredibly well But when you look at the traditional leaders the apples of the world right the apples of the world Just can't get out of its own way matter of fact apple looks like literally one day away for maybe testing the 50 day moving average You know that looks Absolutely just just tired just the just just not eventful It feels like nobody wants to even participate in these names You look at a microsoft today right they got upgraded today with a 300 price target It was a perfect you know perfect way to kind of kick off maybe pull up All these technology names and this stock did absolutely nothing So the one thing that this was like you know a year ago I would have turned around and said well, you know, we got to wait for beta We have to wait for these things to wake up and now You know and i've been saying this for for a long long time, you know, i'm a beta trade I trade 95 of beta, but again because they've been so uninteresting I think that's the best way of saying and you have to really Pick your spots in the video here zoom there Uh, you know amazon here google that whatever the case may be because they've become so uninteresting and so lethargic There's so much value in other names and names that i would probably not trade a year ago or even six months away Hell even four months ago now i'm trading on a day-to-day basis I'm even trading a lot more small caps because that's where the option flow is That's where the emotional chasers are really getting aggressive, especially in the morning But that's where the value is and at the end of the day It doesn't make a difference what you're trading right? It's like like I say this all the time It's not the money. Excuse me. It's not the market that I want It's the market that I have and at the end of the day when it's all sudden done We're going where the value is right? We're not going to An area of the market that we feel that we need some sort of validation to trade that market If the money flow is not there then you can't be there with it. So if you look at today's pivots Very very aggressive. That's the best way you can say it Some beta you could see facebook TDOC, but you had a lot of really good moves in stocks like bongo for god's sake right bongo that we talked about A little bit over the video tesla. I had a really nice Short today on tesla. Yeah, it's not rallying of folks again We talked about this in the weekend video if something does not go up and the longer it starts putting in lower highs You have to start pay attention to its bottom range and maybe we're two three days away Maybe it starts testing back Uh to friday's channel. Maybe it starts testing below the january 29 channel It's just common sense if these things can't go up, right? Well, they must go So let's talk about today's pivots. Um Mac or wise nothing to talk about. All right gel. I was watching this thing Above 470 never got close to the 470 level, but this was kind of the mystery stock I was talking about over the weekend buyers came in for The march 10 calls, right? We got to watch this thing if it starts building over 470. Maybe this thing wakes up So, uh, let's talk about the day. Uh, facebook just in case it wakes up today 274 needs to build and in these days, you know, if you get one beta trade a day You consider that good. I mean because they're just it is so out of favor. It's not even funny So, uh, you could see her three times in a row. It got rejected off this 274 level today. Finally woke up Uh stock traded the 276 uh 276 60 this is go higher. You know, maybe it reclaims uh tomorrow's channel For today's prices. Maybe squeeze it out to 280 again It'll see how weak or strong these beta names But again, but it is it is a little bit frustrating that they did these can't just put up these Magical candles anymore or at least not the ones from a day-to-day basis. Uh, google Very very strong. We talked about google. Let me just go one by one. So we don't skip anything Uh, yeah, so bingo. I traded bingo today.  It still looks like if it starts reclaiming Over 16, I think it goes Again, I traded some laser as well 38 80 39 needs to build Here was laser, you know, nice little move on the laser nothing, you know, nothing crazy But it took out that 39 level and went to like 40 and changed before a reversal again Not not every single trade needs to be this magical bullet Chewy 19 I lost track of Chewy today. So I don't even know what it did today 1975 120.  It looks like I traded literally the 120 I got literally the 120 it looks like I never Confirmed it and just went straight down Um, let's see here google exploded absolutely when that's uh, if it opens under 2100 It needs to build that but the macro area for all you guys who did miss the 2100 You had every opportunity to look at the 2115 area And the stock put up a $40 candle really really good move there on google Congratulations for all you guys who caught that. So here was the sneaky 2100 here was a 2115 And traded to 2145 so big that moved there as well When we talked about when on the weekend update a 120 needs to build here was when Right, here was when took out the 120 and traded all the way up to 123 On a half nice move on win TDOC 300 needs to build not again not a big move at all You know not a big move but again not everything needs to be amounts to move So it took out the 300 and it traded right to this channel here of 308 You know you'd figure at a very very bare minimum It would have really started getting aggressive above that channel, but again a $8 move on a $300 stock It's not the worst thing you can you can do All right, gel. We talked about that facebook. We talked about nice move on google Had a spike here had a spike on bingo 2180 still I still like that measured potential there on google Tesla I call up tesla, you know decent trade on tesla I thought the stock can get down to the 793 channel and we talked about why in a second Take on the way down. So I like this pivot here I really like that pivot here 804 803 on the five minute support if it builds below can flush So if you look at my comments as the stock is coming down 793 is the next support. So here was you know here was tesla, right? It took out this whole channel here, right? It took out this whole channel here Took out the seven 804 channel here. You can see the low of this candle here is 804 It took out the 804 and traded right to the low of the upper bolinger band Excuse me the lower bolinger band of 792 44 for this thing to really get aggressive It really needs to start taking down Friday's channel of 785 But this whole level here this 129 January 29 lows I'm telling you folks you can say what you want, but if they start violating this 129 lows You know this there's a lot of room down.  We love tesla if you're sensitive leave the room. We love tesla We're talking about from the trading aspect Uh, we're we're you know, we caught a good pivot on this thing on friday through the downside We caught a good pivot today to the downside again This is the big number whether it Validates it tomorrow and next week or never does at least let's watch continue to watch this bottom range And especially if they do pull the plug on the market. This is a very very Clean channel. So going into tomorrow, you know You have to give the bulls uh continued benefit of the doubt. I think that's the best way Of saying it. Uh, there's a lot of SPAC names Continue to be really really good like look at this psac Right really nice looking, you know SPAC or EV whatever the hell head is all these things are the all the same to me It got rejected three times in the top of this channel here tomorrow If this thing could just reclaim this top of the channel here, you have a lot of room up So definitely keep an eye on that Another you know kind of SPAC name. I like look at this BTWN had a big move on February the second today stopped right at the linear regression line if it starts reclaiming this area It might start testing this candle here. Maybe start pushing off that 18 dollar level. So let's keep an eye on that as well. Let me see what else I like here for tomorrow. Um Let me see what else I like here for tomorrow. This ALDX looks interesting Let's keep an eye on this ALDX nice little range That's developing there as well And um, I kind of like this royal Caribbean. I know it's crazy, but I kind of like it first closed today Over the 50 day moving average if they could just reclaim this whole channel tomorrow You know, maybe we could get a we could get a push on these uh cruise ships. So that's it guys Hopefully everybody had a good day Obviously ITP out of nowhere a 30% move. So hey, they continue working until they stop We'll continue to play them guys. Have a great night. Everybody. God bless. Have a phenomenal rest of your week Well, god's help. I'll see you all tomorrow


So shelf management is all about the presentation as I've just discussed about the appealing presentation about the attractive presentation about the uniformity in the presentation that is the key part in the presentation. Let me discuss with you the presentation and then we are going to discuss about the basic principles of presentations because that is of course the key in shelf management. So first of all as a presentation if you see so your presentation has to create attractive uniform and easily accessible presentation in a very structured way. So the objective of the retailer is to create attractive uniform easily accessible, more structured presentation for your customer and normally it is well said that if the products are properly displayed it is very easy to sell them because the presentation speaks at its own let's come and buy this product for that particular customer. So for example you have two examples here for food and one for non-food. So examples of food now you can see the example which is there for food which is here. So this example is attractive because if you go to this area to buy vegetables or fruits you see a uniformity in the presentation, you see the products are easily accessible because the customer has trolley or customers moving without trolley. It should be easily accessible to the customer and the display is structured. It is not unorganized like open markets. If you have visited the Mondays or markets where you see the unstructured way of selling this product you can easily identify or categorize the difference between a presented display and a non presented display between a structured display and between a non-structured display. Same as an example of non-food. So again if you see the example of paper here or example of other display here in the non-food area. So in the non-food area it is again very attractive. It is uniformity, you will see uniformity here is easily accessible to the customer. The products are very easily available and accessible to the customer and the products are made available in a very structured way. The pricing is very clear, very transparent, the customer knows about it. Even the description of the products are very clear. So it is all about presentation and if your products are well presented if you yourself is well presented of course you are able to sell the products and of course yourself also. So create attractive, uniform and easily accessible presentation in a structured way is a presentation. It will result into optimization of sales area and the product displays. It will result of course in the increase in sales and increase in sales will result in this stores overall results, stores overall KPIs which includes sales, productivity, of course turnover, of course invicing, of course stock inventory. So everything and anything is related to relevant to the product presentation. Now we are going to discuss about the basic principles of presentation. So there are 16 basic principles of the presentation which is the key for shelf management. So first of all, the first basic principle is creating thematic world. So in the retail store while presenting the products, you need to create some theme of the products either this theme is by color or by product family or by size of the product. So or maybe by some any other factor. So the first basic principle of the presentation is to create the thematic world. The second basic principle is allow an open atmosphere, especially for the fresh products, fresh food products, you have to create allow an open atmosphere. You have seen meat segment, you have seen bakery segments, you have seen fish segment, so fruits and vegetable segment, they are all fresh food areas. So you need to create some open atmosphere, so that the customer can get the good feel of the presentation. The third principle is about create visually appealing displays with regard to color product type category. So the displays should be visually appealing for the customers. Fourth principle is about mass merchandising. So you need to do mass merchandising. The products has to be displayed in bulk. The products has to be displayed in large quantities because once once you do that strategy, of course it give more attraction to the customer. Then you need to ensure easy handling. The proper the product should be easily handled by the customer. The product should be presented per product family. The product should be presented as per the size of packaging. For example, at the top, maybe you will place the smaller size and at the bottom, maybe you will place the largest size. So as per sizes, as per packaging of the size of the packaging, you have to display as per the product families in order to avoid the contamination and everything, you have to displace. For example, tea has to be displayed with tea. Coffee has to be displayed with coffee category or tea or coffee together as a family. Not for example, detergents with tea or detergents with coffee. So the product has to be presented in the product family. The product has to be presented in the packaging, proper packaging segment. Also at eight principle that you have to maintain product placements. You have to ensure that products are placed properly and then you maintain them regularly. Ninth principle is about 10 article labels to the front. So the labeling of the articles should be in front so that the customer can easily see these articles and the description of these articles and the pricing of these articles. The tenth principle is about, do not present articles too high with respect to accessibility with respect to visibility. So if the products are presented too high above the eye level, of course customer will not be able to see that and you will not be able to sell these products and product should be easily accessible also. There should not be situation that customer want to buy it but the products are not accessible. Eleventh principle is use appropriate equipment to present your product. For example, if you are going to present products on the pallets, so you need to give proper palletized area, you need to have proper pallets to display your product. Do not place articles on the floor. It is one of the basic principles that the products, the articles should not be directly placed on the floor. Means if they are on the floor, there has to have either shelves or pallets under it. Otherwise, directly, no product have an access to the floor surface. Next principle is about make sure all information is visible within five second principle. What is five second principle? That within five seconds, the customer should be able to identify the sample. He will be able to see the price. He can easily identify the product information. He can easily see the stock of that product. So five seconds, four basic information has to be clearly available for the customer. The fourteenth principle of presentation is about creating powerful presentations. The presentations should be eye catchers. These presentations should be massive. The presentations should be full face. For example, full aisle or full bay presentation or massive VNCAP displays or the massive gondolas will really give a powerful impression of the presentation. So the fifteenth principle is about encouraging impulse buying. So you need to see the cross merchandising perspective into consideration that ensure that at the point of sale, you need to have all impulsive product. For example, chocolates, for example, candies, for example, cigarettes. So all such products which are impulse buying they are there very much there and you need to also encourage as a fifteenth principle of presentation the cross merchandising. So sixteenth and last basic principle of presentation is about choosing the right location for the right product. So the product location is very important even your display is very right. So you have to ensure the right display and that right display should be at the right location in order to get the proper feedback and results from the customer.


Hi everybody, so today I wanted to show you how I've made this gift box for these Ferrero Roches, so I'm trying to get ahead of the Christmas kind of gifts this year and I picked these up in the pound shop, they were £2 because in our pound shop they have things that are slightly above a pound, but for eight Ferrero Roches that's really good. Now the box that they come in is just like this, so basically you can trace around this original box or I've come up with measurements which are pretty much the same, but I just think it's a nice size box without the Ferrero Roches, so if you know wherever you are you don't have these eight, this is still a great size gift box and you don't have to put the window in, but I'm going to show you how I kind of just lined it up and use this really as a template, but it just turns I mean this is nice on its own, you can wrap it with paper, pop it in a gift bag you know it's good, but I'm a paper crafter, I like to use my supplies and create something really special, so I think now for £2 I'm going to make a nice gift bag for this near at the time, I think that's just turned into a really beautiful gift, so it's very straightforward to bake and let me show you how. Using this as my guide I've just taken it apart and you can see how it looks there and I've worked out you're going to need a piece of 10 and a quarter by 10 and a quarter cardstock okay and then if you know if you didn't want to do the scoring and you have this box you just lay it down, you can see my is a little bit shorter because I'm not having it open at both ends, but you would literally now trace around this, mark where the score lines are and score it and put it together just as this was put together so it's very easy, but for those of you like I said that don't have or can't get hold of that box I'm now going to show you how to make this gift box, so you want a piece of 10 and a quarter by 10 and a quarter and along one side you're going to score at 1 and 3 eighths, 8 and a quarter and 9 and 5 eighths then you're going to rotate and you're going to score at half an inch, 4 inches, 5 and 3 eighths and 8 and 7 eighths okay and all those measurements will be on my blog so that's all the scoring done. Now this is too big to put through my die machine so I'm going to do a little bit of cutting now this is only if you want to do the aperture if you don't want to have that acetate window then you don't need to do this piece, but basically what you will have I hold it up like this there we go, so you want it so that you have the 1 and 3 eighth score line here and then I think that was the 8 and a quarter and then you've got that other score line there and then that half inch or slightly bigger than half inch piece it's along that way that you want it and you want to have the other half inch piece here along the bottom because what we're going to do is we're going to cut the aperture this is a side piece here you can see then you've got this large area and then another side piece this is where we want to cut the aperture we want it to overlap into this side piece because you'll see there it folds around the sides of the box okay so I've got one of these rectangle dies this is from the card making magic rectangles it's the kind of go-to you always see me using this one here and I've used it's the one two three four five the six and seventh sizes from the center the seventh size I'll give you the measurements for that so you've got something similar now I'm drawing around it so I'm going to actually not measure it from the score line from the cut line but actually the whole thing so you're looking at just over three and a quarter by five and five eighths so I'm going to lay this it's probably going to make a lot more sense once I fold all of this and I've cut this you're really bad a six obviously I'm using white so it's probably not the best one for filming but I do love that white and gold together so I'm just going to grab a little bit of tape I'm just holding this in place while I draw around this I'm like I said I'm not die cutting it now I've got it overlapping into this bit here how far down you have it is entirely up to you I've gone about halfway okay because there's a cut line just there you see it's about halfway maybe a little bit further but I'm going to just stick with that halfway kind of look and then I'm just making sure it's straight with that score line and then I've got an even side here so I'm just going to tack that in place and then I'm just going to grab my pencil and I'm going to draw around the inside actually I just need to stick that on the outside because you're drawing around the inside and then I'm just going to carefully remove that and now using my ruler and cutting knife I'm going to cut that out okay now that falls away perfectly so now to make more sense of it all I'm going to fold and burnish all of the score lines okay so now this should hopefully make a bit more sense so you can see how the box is going to come together and where I've done that opening so you've got that side there which is on the back and it's going to stick to this tab here and then it comes around here the side here where we've got that tab that's going to be the opening of the box and on this end there is nothing else apart from the side because that's all going to be closed underneath you've got the base with that piece that's why I said you want to make sure that half inches on the bottom and this half inch I know it's slightly bigger than half inch I'm just saying half inch because that's what usually do but you've got one on the right hand side one on the bottom and then it's that large section and the side that you want to cut your window into okay so hopefully that all makes sense next you want to cut a frame so with that original one that you drew around the inside you want to get the next size down you want to stick these together and then I'm going to die cut them in some gold so I'm just going to pop a bit of tape there you want to make sure you got a nice border so we'll even on all the sides there so when I now cut that through the gold card I'm going to get a nice frame okay so once that comes out there we go we've got that frame now because I drew around the inside of that die when I pop this over the top I'll be able to stick it around the frame and it will also conceal my cut line okay before I do that I want to add my acetate so I've got lots of scrap pieces in here so you can find there we go that will work well so I'm just going to flip it over and you just want to give yourself I'm going to give myself about a half inch overhang just so I've got plenty of room there to apply my double-sided tape so just give yourself you know enough overhang I'm just going to trim that down so I'll give you it's about just about six and a quarter by three and seven eighths so you could do six and a quarter by four would be fine so give it a good wipe in a moment and then I'm just going to grab my thicker red tape there and I'm just going to run it around the four sides okay so now we're going to stick that over there and then I'm just going to cover that whole area and just grab your bone folder or something to push down on the tape you want to make sure that it goes darker and that means all the air bubbles have come out you're not going to see any of this I'm not worried about what it looks like underneath here like so now with the score line that hits on the acetate just very carefully pinch that together and along that side there and then once you pinch them both you'll be able to just go along that acetate and then just burn it it's easy to do it that way then to get it into your scoreboard and you can just prize it apart and get the corner there of your box okay so now we want to do a bit of cutting I've got a mark there in my acetate but I think possibly my decoration might cover that so I'm not too worried so you've got that tab here on the bottom so what you want to do is this little rectangle in the corner you want to remove that one completely okay and then take a little wedge off the corner come along to this one here and you'll have this rectangle and then a smaller one so just take away actually you're going to end up taking all of this away so that's that one there like so and then you also want to take away all of this because this is going to be the base and the lid will tuck into this so just cut that score line and then take all of that out like so and then we'll work along here now so then you want to cut down pass the first score line down to the second and again pass the first score line down to the second these two outer ones will fold in but we want to remove the top section so just remove that piece and that piece and then again just take a piece off of each side now again you might want to take a little bit off the sides of this but I always say make sure it's a tiny tiny amount because you want the box to kind of wedge closed so it doesn't pop open so just taking a very small amount so that's that end then we're going to flip it around now to this end or side and you just want to cut down now the rest of the score lines to the first one so all this side is missing is that extra piece and then that one and then again with these pieces just take a wedge off like so this one and this one now when we go to close this this one we're going to fold in first this piece here so I'd recommend you cut a little bit off of the sides of that as well just so everything closes in nicely okay so if I just clear all this away you will have something like that okay so if you want a screenshot or just pause that's what you want to aim for now we're going to start sticking it together so first of all I'm just going to run some glue just along this tab here and if you turn it over fold this side in and then just fold that one over and it will perfectly line up and I just like to go that way as well and these are good boxes to store flats if you don't want to stick this end first you might just want to get to this stage you can decorate it all but just not seal it and you might not have the room to have them already made up like this so you can keep them flat packed until you need them but now we've got the start of our box so now this end not the one with the tab this empty all this plane end here I'm now going to bring in the cloud glue and I'm going to add the glue to that piece where you would have cut the sides off so that bigger piece and then fold these in and then put some glue on the top of those and close that one if you turn it upside down hold those out and you grab a ruler you can go in there this is quite a good ruler because it's like a triangular shape and get it right into the corners just go in there and just spend a minute making sure that's all stuck down okay and now that side you can just close in the sides and then it will just close in like so and you want it to be tight so it locks in really nicely you might want to put a little finger pull there as well you could use the ones in my slider dies so you could cut a little finger pull there if you want to make it easier for them to slide it out but now we have the gift box really straight forward to do so now I've got this one here because it's a very thin frame I'm going to use my thin red tape here okay now you just want to pop it around here so get it as you know further down here but as long as it's still covering because you want to make sure you're going to wrap it around the bottom part so that looks good to me then take it there and then just pinch it around with your fingers like so I like frames I always do a frame I just think it finishes it really nicely okay so I'm happy with that so now it's just down to the decoration so I'm just going to show you how I've put them together so I've got my little foam board here now I've already gone ahead and die-cut all of these pieces here and it's using the Ultimate Ponsettia die this is from last year it is still available and it's one of well it is my favorite Ponsettia die one because it's so big but you have the different sizes so you can make smaller ones for smaller projects but I did make a beautiful bouquet for my Nan last year and she still got it she brings it out well actually I think she keeps it out all year round but it's a great one I said when I done it last year in the bouquet if you're visiting anybody in hospital I know it's a bit difficult at the minute you know it's obviously different rules and depend on where you are in the world but something like this would be really nice to give so it's a wonderful set and I think this is the first time I've actually done them in white and I thought they look really really nice so I've gone ahead and die cut two of the I'm going to say the small the medium size sorry she got a large a large medium and then small so I've done two of the medium and then I've done three of the small and then I've cut the smaller of the sprigs I've done three of them and then I've cut four of these because I've put two in each flower and with these I've just shaped them in my finger like so just rolling them just to bring them to life make them you know more dimensional like so you can distress them you can do all that kind of stuff I did I do do that in that other videos quite detailed actually and I've used them in a few other videos as well so if I've got a playlist I'll link it but I will link the the bouquet or the basket of Ponsettias because it's beautiful so again just kind of shape those just put a little bit of shape into those as well and then with these little ones just use my mat here I just made this myself it's just some was an old board from something just with a little ball tool just push in the centers there just to give it a bit of shape and now I've got my hot glue gun on now with these so you get like a longer one here and here just flip it so the longer ones facing away and they will perfectly sit and you won't get any gaps so I'm just gonna pop a bit of glue in there and then that will sit and perfectly cover that one and then I've got one of the small ones it's just really to fill it up a little bit more like so and then again this works the same way you've got a slightly longer one so it will be like so you can see it covers the middle there and then as it's just kind of drying if you just push it down as that glue hardens it will help to give that flower more dimension so even that one there I could probably go in and still shape that a little bit while it's still warm look how now dimension all that is okay and then with these here just again pops them a little bit of glue you don't have to use the hot glue it's just quicker for me I'm just kind of offsetting them so you get to see all of the sides and again push that down and let that glue dry and then again a little bit of glue and that one is gonna go in the center so now we can start building this so I'm gonna grab these and pop them in here just because it will then give me a bit more of a solid box to work on make sure it's the right way where I show you the right way up there we go so I'm going to stick this one obviously if you are using acetate just be careful with your hot glue but that's all going on to the cardstock anyway this one goes on to a little bit but I always kind of just cool it for a few seconds and then stick it in and then with these gonna pop some glue on there I'm gonna feed this one under the here and get your pokey tool you can use that to stick it down so you don't have to worry about burning your fingers this one I took a chunk off because I wanted it a bit smaller and that one goes in here again I can see I'm just clipping it on to the frame there and then again this one I'm gonna keep it the same length and this is going on to the cardstock all hidden like so and then for the sentiments I did show these in a recent what did I get and I thought oh I use them but I just thought they were a little bit lost against this so I keep them for another project and I didn't want them on the white but you also got the red there you can do the red ponsettias because the red and gold will go nice but I'm using these which I got last year by Simply Creative actually these ones I did get them originally by TrimCraft who are part who do who make Simply Creative but then I got them again from Epicrafts a Pound so I did pick these up really cheap because I loved them so much last year and they also do silver as well which is happy Christmas but again I'm sticking with that gold just to make sure it sticks I'm gonna pop a little bit of hot glue there and this one's gonna sit just there and then to fill the centres not squeezing the glue out I'm just using the bead of glue that's on the end of the actual glue gun there and I'm just gonna sit that in the centre like so if I bring that up can you see now all that detail but it still needs a little bit more bling for me so I'm just bringing in the Spectrum Noir sparkle pen and literally just cover all of the leaves okay so now can you see all that glitter they look gorgeous that one's still a bit wet if I bring in this one which is dry you should see the sparkle even more there we go so there are the finished boxes I hope you've enjoyed this tutorial today I'll try and share the links to things like this but I'm not sure if they're still available and I know that the frames have sold out but I'll link the ponsettias I think they're really nice and just yeah check out your pound shop if you're in the UK and see if you can grab these eight for two pounds I think that's really good and yeah these are gonna go in my cupboard now with why kind of the start of my Christmas presents and these are just nice little fillers and stocking fillers and all that kind of stuff so anyway I'm gonna go thanks for watching and I'll be back again very soon bye


Now you've done the initial shading analysis or shading plotting, right? We're going to use the example of the wing wall that we started with. So imagine that we had a Photovoltaic array that for some reason the client wanted mounted vertically on their south-facing wall and there was a Wing wall off to the west and this is off to the west here that they're seeing And we're trying to identify how many hours with that shade when would that shading occur and Can then can we interpret that those hours of shading and input that into something of our energy System modeler Sam. So look at this. We see that we've got a plot here of different times When shading is going to occur during the June months the summer months and During the winter months and we know that a lot of shading is going to occur in the afternoon So now we go over and I've actually collected These dates and times for each of these months together for January through December and so I'm roughly saying that you know in January We're getting hours of shading from about four o'clock remember this four o'clock line Travels all the way down here. So from four o'clock on We're going to get No sunlight. So we give it a value of zero in the month of March For example, I look on the March line. This is the late March But so if I go up to here to the middle of March or the beginning of March, excuse me, I'm going to find that Excuse me, this would be the end of March, I'm going to find that from about 230 And if I look up at the top of the line, I can see this is about 230 on through the rest of the day I'm going to have Shading and so maybe in this one hour. I might sign it a half value And I say the half hour is going to be shaded and then the rest of the hours are going to be zero, right? Okay, and I do this all the way through So I've kind of made notation of where the hours the shading starts for that first hour and whether or not it's a half hour For the course of modeling now if I bring up Sam system advisor model, you're seeing the launching of that and We've got I'm going to resize this So that it will fit and this is going to be your first exposure to Sam. So Sam has an interesting Launch page. It's got a lot of information News in terms of what's happening in Sam the webinar is coming up I guess in May and One thing I do not want you to do is to start the solar wizard that is not for you We are going to do it Directly by choosing projects and the types of technologies that we're interested in and the financing project that we're interested in So let's just call this one shading one. It's just going to name the file and we're going to create that new file It's going to give us a choice You're going to see in one column select a technology photovoltax Concentrating solar power or solar water heating are going to be the solar ones that we would be interested in you're going to choose photovoltax There's a submenu PV watts is what you do not want PV watts is is relatively simplistic Modeling we want component based modeling that we get with either flat plate PV or concentrating PV So once I've chosen flat plate PV modeling, I'm going to go over and I'm going to select a residential financing option And we're doing this just as our first example in the future. We can look at residential commercial power purchase agreement and Utility options, so let's just click okay, and it automatically creates a default case photovoltax and You'll notice that all along here. I've got a list a list of tabs right up at the top here. It's listed shading My technology and market flat plate PV for residential is listed up here the location of the resource is here So I can go in here and I can type in Let's see state colleges are going to be listed. So I'm going to list Pittsburgh. Yes So I click Pittsburgh and it inputs all the solar data for Pittsburgh But we're interested in in the shading part of this. So we're just going to select out the tab on performance adjustments In which case, I'm going to move this guy over and expand it You're going to see that we have a table here. This is a very convenient table that we can use Alongside of our little note noted values of shading in January February March and so on so I can go in here and this is basically Saying that when are you thinking that shading is going to? Stop your system from performing and shading is a clear example of stopping your system from performing in photovoltaics so I'm going to look at January. I'm going to say January from four to five on is going to be zero So I can actually go right here Select these cells Apply zero to those cells and they are red it out, right? I can go for to February three to four Same type of process. I could either type zero and then progress along or I could just apply Zero to all of these selected cells So similarly, I'm just going to progress along here and Finally, I'm at March March from the two to three hour. I had given it a value of 0.5 so basically just a half hour and notice how it's about half the value of color otherwise I'm just going to make everything red and so I'm just going to progress through this Three to four Zeroes may is three thirty to four. So here we've got another deviation Point five These guys are gonna get Zeroes grab those cells there we go Keep on going through here and you see that I'm just methodically Notating all of these guys down and ultimately I'm going to be converting a lot of these cells to zeros In which case I can have all this information So you say that maybe some of these guys aren't as bad actually those are four o'clock But all of these guys are going to be times when if the Sun is in the sky and Sam knows when the Sun is in the sky if the Sun is in the sky then There's not going to be output to your photovoltaic panels based on this input very useful Ultimately what we would do Resize this Ultimately what we would do is Click the green button down here it's going to compile your simulation and it gives you monthly output of Power cash flow of things like this, but what it's done is it's incorporated All of your performance adjustments into that system so that in the case of our answers here where The annual energy was four point one six nine Kilowatt hours I believe yep For this case if I were to take that performance adjustment out Just take all of these guys that I've selected Instead of that apply them as ones Right, let's put that die again and instead of four point six one. I have four point six six Or four thousand six hundred sixty six kilowatt hours, so I've increased things dramatically and notice how that edge in the winter months Is a lot higher now, and that's because that shading is correct So this is a way for your tool for your to be used in Sam to So all this work that you put together to do shading analysis to understand angles that ultimately lead to shading analysis is directly relevant to simulations inside of a tool like Sam where if I do if I add shadows into a scenario, I'm going to decrease My annual energy output and I can calculate that so I'm using this entire lesson to get to the point where I can use this Inside of Sam this connects us directly to our ultimate project goals at the end of the Semester all right great
