We've been very successful Just robots what's going on people are starting to flow in here But put those questions in there because YouTube is a really Simple thing to make money on but it's really complicated to figure out how to do it Tracy, what's going on girl? I'm seeing you in a while. I hope you're doing well down there in Louisiana But she said you can hear me. That's awesome So guys if you you have an interest in YouTube, there is so many ways to make money I mean art my channel is now monetized and every day I wake up and I've made money, which is really really super cool Your thought about Mike Tyson boxing. Well Now, I don't know if that's gonna make you any money, but I'll give you my thoughts on Mike Tyson boxing And I'm gonna admit to something in 1995 I bought Mike Tyson's fight and I spent $49 for it and I got my beer and I got my chips and I got my dip and I was all set and I sat down and within 89 seconds the fight was over 89 seconds because he came out there and obliterated the guy and I can't remember who the guy was now, but I can tell you this I spent $49 for 89 seconds now this last time around they had a pay-per-view and I hadn't seen Mike Tyson Fight in a long time. What's going on Richard from Palanco, Mexico City? Very cool.  I've been watching some MMA stuff. So I said, you know what? You know what? I'm gonna do it. I'm gonna go ahead and pay for because there were like four other fights And one of them was some YouTube guy. I can't remember the guy's name tall guy with blonde hair But anyway, there were there four other fights. I'm like well if nothing else I'm gonna get a watch these other fights if he just totally kills this guy, you know within the first round Then of course, I'm going to least get some entertainment. So I paid for it and the other fights weren't bad I gotta tell you I watched I think three or four fights before Mike Tyson's and I was just waiting for Mike Tyson And I knew he was gonna come in there He was gonna charge this guy and he was just gonna kill him and it didn't happen And I was like what's going on and it looked like he was barely boxing and I don't know what your opinion is But somebody asked me who was a more you asked me about my opinion. I don't think it was worth the darn I think the other fights were better than the Tyson fight. I really did I was like, oh, I'm he didn't have any energy and then it comes out after the fight that he was smoking pot before the fight He went out there. Hi. He actually went out there. Hi. I spent 49 bucks to watch Mike Tyson fight. Hi Ah, I was disgusting. So that's my thoughts on that. That's my thoughts on that Let's see here Tracy. What do you got going on here girl? I'm interested. I sell color Street It's just one product needs ideas for YouTube channel. I don't know what color Street is So I'm having a hard time giving ideas used to pay to watch that back in the day of Mike Tyson thing Yeah, explain to me Tracy what it is that you're selling because I can't give you Really any advice on that without knowing what that is What is movie review mom says Mike Tyson is getting old. That's why yeah, I know he's old I mean, I know he's old. I get it. I'm older than him, but I wouldn't go out to a fight Hi would smoke pot before the fight. Don't you think that kind of took him down a few notches?   This is absurd. I paid 49 bucks. You need to stay off drugs long enough Let's see here. What else what a ripoff and so disrespectful to his fans To fight hi. Yes, I agree. That is disrespectful very disrespectful I didn't like that at all and he says why I am what I am. That's what I do You know, that's what that's was his replies. I will always smoke. That's what I do now I always smoke so any of this my impression of him. Hi Just roblox. Hello. What's going on?  I Gotta tell you there are people who never ever and I want to do in these cards in just second guys Don't forget. I got gift cards here. I want to do this to say it I gotta tell you there are people who never ever ever ever do live videos on YouTube. I don't know what's better I really don't I get you know decent views on all my videos Now live is really hard nowadays to get people To show up live and the reason and I do it because I'm gonna give you gift cards So I know you're gonna want to show up live, but People know nowadays that even if it's live There's probably gonna be a recording and they've got so many live things going on. It's really hard to grab a live audience I do it really to help you guys out because I know you guys may have some specific questions About how to make money online and I gotta tell you when I started out in 2009 There was nobody to ask And I was really frustrated because everybody out there was just like doing these fakie courses and they weren't really selling any Products online and they really didn't know what they were doing and I was really frustrated So I said well, you know, if I start making money online one day I'd like to kind of give back and that's why I do lives So what I do is I publish five videos a week and I do one live So that's six videos a week now some of you may be saying, you know, hey, that's that's a lot of videos It's not I mean, I know people do five and six videos a day. I mean a day What else we got a no dry time. No UV lights. It's amazing way cheaper than salons. It's a nail strips 100% nail polish in a strip. Okay. Okay, so that's what you're selling tracing I don't know anything about your product first off. It's gonna be a good product. It's gonna be competitive It's gonna be price right with that having been said The best way to sell a product is not to sell the product. Okay, that's exactly what I'm doing right here I'm not selling you anything. I'm giving you free content So, you know a beauty channel a makeup channel and then saying to the people Hey, and by the way, I've got this product is the best way to go I see it time and time again. I've seen so many channels start off as a makeup channel And then they end up with their own makeup line and selling stuff It doesn't matter how old you are how young you are there are women of all ages that will listen to you period You know, you will find your audience if you start doing tutorials and showing people how to do makeup How to do hair or whatever my wife has a couple channels She has one for dog training and she has a DIY channel to which she shows people how to you know doing yourself type projects And though they're both doing really well. She has her channels monetized as well. Do I let's see just Roblox? Yeah, LOL. Let's see here. Just Roblox. By the way, congrats on that getting monetized Yeah, and you know what it was funny because I was monetized like five years ago and they totally changed the standards and the standards Now or you're gonna have 4,000 hours of watch time in 12 months of which I have over 10,000 every 30 days now, which is great But you also have to have a thousand subscribers Those are the two things you had to have and I had the subscribers. I didn't have the watch time unfortunately I do now and man, I mean it it really took off. I mean it's like the first day I was monetized I made $6 now some of you may be going well $6. That's nothing $6 is huge Because normally you start up with 50 cents or a dollar a day or 12 cents a day I start up with $6 and I've made a not not quite a month I've already 170 bucks off my channel if that doesn't sound like a lot but guys It's the direction you're going next year at this time. That could be $30,000 a month the way it's going So that's how I look at it. I look at the projection of the direction. It's going here Let's see. I've set some videos as premiere, which is fine. Yes, I do that too But I've noticed that all of the chats during the premiere disappear from the video afterwards is the way to keep those No, see what a what a premiere is it's like a scheduled video a premiere is with the difference of When it's premiering the second it goes live You have the chat box available and you could actually jump in as it's premiering and talk to people Okay, if you're the channel owner if you just schedule a video all it does is goes live and there is no chat That's the only difference in the two when this video is over with This will have I believe the chat still there. I'm pretty sure it does But then it will also have comments below where people can comment like right now You can't comment below, but you can chat So let me anybody want to do these yet Anybody want to do these if you want to do these gift cards here I'm gonna give away and I've got quite a few as you can see put something in the chat. Tell me what gift card you want I've got Amazon fire, which is just Amazon more Amazon fire. I've got a Starbucks card here I've got this is a grocery store when I think I'm gonna keep this one. I Got an eBay one right here What else I got? I got an Apple card right here This one here is for Olive Garden Longhorn Steakhouse Shedders Yard House Bahama Breeze and season 72 or 22.

So the way you're going to use these gift cards guys, and here's another Apple one here This is ten to five hundred dollars.

I guess for this one, but it's 15 to two hundred and fifty dollars Mr.. John, I got eBay I've got Google up to so Google is there. Okay, so let me do this one real quick this one here You need to look at the number in the bottom of the card, so I'm gonna hold that up first All right, and let me let you get that number Whoo, that's small There it is there's the number it looks like six one six one eight nine eight nine nine three two zero Six four eight one you got that six one six one eight nine eight nine nine three two zero six four eight one And I just need to give you the pen All right, somebody said they can't see it.

That's two five seven Six five three six two right there. I know mr. John I know you can't use this one, but I got more coming hang on Zimmer down Zimmer down. All right. You got that you got that two five seven Six five Three six two, and then there's the long number you need that long number two. Okay, so that card's out there So hit me up was a couple questions Somebody's asking me the best way to grow your channel You know I Started my channel in 2015 and did everything wrong. I mean literally I anything you could do wrong I did wrong. I was to in short videos. They didn't have the content that people wanted They weren't niched down. I didn't do titles, right? I didn't do meta tags I did nothing right and it didn't do well. What do you know? So in the beginning of well, I guess the end of 2019 I started saying well, I gotta do something with this YouTube channel You know I got to do something so I started looking at the top YouTube channels The one thing I found That I thought was pretty consistent was that they did a lot of videos, you know if they did a lot of videos Go figure, right? Then I started to learn about Titles and I bought a software called TubeBuddy, which you can get for free After this video if you look down in the description, there's gonna be a link to TubeBuddy You can get it for free if you use my link. There is a paid version and if you use my link You can get 30% off, but it's really cheap. It's really really cheap, but of course you can get it free So I used TubeBuddy and what TubeBuddy does is you can actually put in a title and it will tell you how It's gonna rank so what that means is you can keep changing the title and a couple of the words in the title until you Got a higher and higher rank on it and then use that title and here's the thing about YouTube You don't want to make videos that you just want to make You want to make videos that you want to make and that people are searching for okay, so if you're making videos about How to cut the edge off white paper, you know, nobody's searching for that, right? They're just not or you know how to make and I'm trying to think of things that was people wouldn't search for it There's so many things people search for but the point is with TubeBuddy you can figure out what they're searching for and then what it does Is it integrates with your channel? So the more and more videos you do it not only gives you the rankings for that title But it gives you the rankings for that title based on your channel analytics Okay, so a title may do look really good like a title for makeup may do really really good But on my channel it wouldn't do good because I'm not known for doing makeup Okay, so that wouldn't work on my channel So it does two things it figures out the right title for you and I'm gonna just put in a few keywords It will give you suggestion excuse me. We'll give you suggestions all on the way and Then it will Tell you what it's gonna rank according to your channel. So that's the best way to do it You start off making videos that people want Tracy says don't you need a lot of followers? No, no, you don't as a matter of fact You need a lot of followers to get monetized. I will say that okay, but Monetization is not the main way you make money, okay? The main way you're gonna make money is you're gonna do a video and you're gonna have a link in your description to some product You're gonna have a link to you know an opt-in page where you get somebody on your email list You're gonna have affiliate links in and when this video was over today You're gonna see all of that in the description Okay, so there's a lot of affiliate links there of products that I use and I put those in the description when you Click on it and you go there and buy that I get a small fee you don't pay anymore for the product or anything like that But affiliate links selling your products selling your courses You can do Influencer videos, you know, I have people contacting me now wanting to give me like thousand dollars to do a ten minute video Now first off that sounds like a lot of money But it's not to me at this point So I'm not gonna spend a ten minutes doing a video because when I do a ten minute video It could actually take me two or three hours because I got to record it. I got to edit it I got to upload it. I can do all these things and then it's got to be a product I really like but if you want to do influencer stuff, you can certainly do that There's plenty of companies that will pay you 50 or 100 bucks I mean all day long you could sit there and do these things all day long if you wanted to And all you got to do is Google influencer YouTube videos and you're gonna see how to do it's really simple So you can make money before you have a following, but I Personally have not set up my channel to be an influencer I've set up my channel to help you guys to answer your questions, you know to help you with your business That's the main purpose of my channel now if you decide to buy one of my courses afterwards. Hey, that's great You know, I love that. However, most people don't most people just want to get some free content I don't mind that I don't mind give it back. So it's not a big deal Let's say I could do a live on how to apply. Yes, you could you could and you know demonstration videos Comparison videos like if I said, you know, this software versus this software, which is best those work really really well Three-step videos work, you know three steps to lose seven pounds in ten days Any of those things that are tutorial that the fact is that people watch on average 40 minutes of YouTube when they log on there are five Billion of video views a day on YouTube insane insane, okay, but the reason they get a YouTube There's only two reasons somebody goes to YouTube. Okay number one. It's entertainment number two. It's education. That's it Those are the two reasons they go to YouTube because YouTube is the second largest search engine in the world outside of Google So you've got to decide early on when you're when you're doing your niche Are you entertaining or you educational now if you could do both? Hey, you know if you could give away gift cards, right and Teach people something all the better because I'm kind of entertaining you with that But I'm also teaching you other stuff too. So, you know, that's what you can do. You don't need a lot of followers That I mean you just don't you know, I made money long before I was monetized I mean being monetized is great being monetized and you say well, you know JR you made 168 bucks last month Not much money That's 168 bucks every single month from this point forward and it goes up and it goes up and up and up I'm watching it go up every single day, you know, what about when it's 20,000 a month 30,000 a month 100,000 a month You know and guys now is the time to get in on this. I mean it I mean Now is the time to get in on this YouTube understand me understand me because a lot of people don't get this YouTube is free You can literally put a message out to the world for free and reach millions of people Why wouldn't you have a YouTube channel?  There's so many youtubers now It's so competitive. Yeah, but the thing is there's a whole lot more people watching now, too You know, there's a whole lot more people watching now than there were in the beginning. Let's see here What is the most important things to make money with affiliate marketing? Hmm, there's so many important things I'm gonna I'm gonna answer this two different ways. Okay, if you want to Give your product to affiliates for them to sell you have to have a great product You have to have great sales pages. You have to have great emails that they can use all these tools So I have Survival food and I have courses on clickbank and those courses if you want to sell one of my courses Well, you got to do sign up for a clickbank account and you can market the course, but I'm gonna give you emails I'm gonna give you sales pages. I'm gonna give you webinars. I'm gonna give you everything you need to market that course so as a Vender or as a creator of courses as a creator of survival food I'm gonna give you all the tools on the flip side if you are an affiliate selling somebody else's product You want to look for what I just said You want to look for a product that's good You want to look for a product that's got the sales pages got webinars got emails got all the tools You need to market, you know, so depending on who you are if you're the affiliate or you are the Person creating the course or creating the product you it's got to be good. It's got to be good. It really does Let's see here I've been waiting to do this so bad quit waiting Quit waiting. Don't wait. Don't wait waiting is no good. Don't wait, you know I read excuse me. I watched a video a Ted talk video by Mel Robbins And if you give it get a chance watch the Ted talk Mel Robbins, and it's the five second rule five second rule five four three two One and it talks about that's what ruins most people is that you know They get an idea to do something but they put it off or they put it aside or they say I'm gonna do it When I get ready and it never gets done. Okay, so you do the five second rule But you gotta watch the video. There's a lot more to it than that But basically it's five four three two one and then go do whatever it is. Just don't don't wait. Just do it Just do it. Yes, this company is banging. That's cool. That's very cool. All right. So what else we got here?

Do you have questions about you know, youtube, you know youtube? I am not a huge youtube channel yet, but I will be Because I started doing the right things and started working hard and doing what I was supposed to do That's all there is to this that's all any one of you listening to this can do exactly what I do There's no difference And you know, that's how I actually got started is I saw these people making money online. I'm like Well, they can do it. Why can't I what's the difference? There is no difference It has nothing to do with intelligence or you know charisma or good looks or any of that It's really just hard work. It doesn't matter what country you're in now, which is very cool You know, I I work with some people The philippines mexico india pakistan and all of those people are making really good money Because of the internet. It doesn't matter what country you're in guys It really doesn't maybe maybe in communist china. You can't do some of this stuff But they've got vpns. You can even get around that if you want Um, I really want some apple lol All right Well, ask me a question ask me a question about growing your business because I want you to not even need the I want you to be able to just give these away guys I want you to make so much money that you will just give away money to other people. That's what I want So the only way you're going to do that Is not through these gift cards. It's through growing your business online. It's through having a business That's going to make you money and that is sustainable. Okay, and that is an online business online business Is it I do have a master class? It's going to be coming out real soon that you guys can sign up for We're going to be running ads on youtube.

Um, so give me some questions down there about your business About what you're doing about what you like. Don't be it. Don't be on this thing and not asking questions now Don't be doing that. I got more gift cards here for you But I want you I want you to ask me questions. Uh, justin roblox, uh, says he has to take a bathroom break Now there's also a gray dollar sign down there guys. See it next to the chat chat thing If you hit that gray dollar sign, you can actually donate to this channel You certainly don't have to but if you'd like to if you want to give me a buck or five bucks or 10 Or a million would be really nice But seriously you can hit that you can do a sticker You can just donate money. You can have your comment highlighted There's all kinds of things you can do now that this channel is monetized So that money helps support this channel it helps support me buying stuff like this because I go on the whole on this You know, I lose money on this. Uh, so if you want to support that that would be really cool Uh, let's see how to hook people's attention to buy Hmm Give value give value. I mean really that's the biggest thing I can say is give value If people see that you're giving value of some sort They're going to be hooked on you as a person.  I have people that buy stuff from me buy my courses by training By coaching and I don't really do coaching. So don't hit me up with coaching requests. I'm I stopped doing that It just takes too much of my time But if you put out good content on a regular basis and help people out They're going to come to you when they want to buy something. It's just the way it works Okay, um, basically you need to work before you get paid. That's how it works You know, everybody wants to get paid and then they'll work. It doesn't work that well line You've got to work and then you'll get paid. That's how it works So, you know, I do a lot of training videos. I went over 700 videos on this channel the other day 700 videos That's a lot and I was close to 700 before I got monetized. It was 600 and something So I put in a lot of work, you know for that that little bit of money I got but it's going to grow now and they all have it every single month month in month out You know Who got the amazon gift card? Movie review mom wants to know it says it was redeemed. How did you do it that fast? Okay? Who got the amazon gift card guys? I know one person said they had to take a break. So maybe that was the first that was just roblox How do I get started just go to youtube or do I need a google lbl? How do you get started with what? I don't know what you want to start with so tell me tell me be specific of these questions guys because I'm getting a whole bunch of them. They keep popping up Let's see always. I have a facebook following and that's how I sell my color street. Okay Are you talking about how do you get started on youtube if you're talking about that and I'll answer that in case that's Is what she means Um, just start a youtube channel. You have to have a gmail account. Which is free Free is pretty cheap. Okay. That means anybody in the world that has internet access can have a youtube channel anybody in the world It's that simple. Okay You gotta have a camera Or on screen recording software. You don't have to go on screen I recommend it the channels that do best. Uh, the people are on screen Because I mean you can see the person's personality. You can see what they're like You can see if they're real, you know, you can see if you like them or dislike them You will have some people hate on you.  Uh, I was kidding. I just got this shirt here I don't if you like my shirt tell me if you like my shirt. I think I like it. I think I like it Sorry, okay, but I put it on and I I looked down. I'm like, oh my god. I'm the my pillow guy It looked just like the my pillow guy. I even walked up to life when I was holding the pillow I'm like, you know, the best pillow you'll ever get. Uh, I just need the big bushy mustache and no beard I guess I look just like him. How do you even try to get those? I can't find a link or anything, but I'm not here to win one I was just wondering the gift cards. It's really simple You just go to the link on the screen right there, which is bit.lwadford slash gift card jr And then there'll be a link for you to enter in all the information for whichever card you want YouTube channel. Yes, Tracy. That's what I was answering. So on a youtube channel when you do your youtube channel Make sure you pick a niche that people are interested in Now I know you're doing the nail coloring thing and that's great But I wouldn't hold it to just that because if you're selling nail coloring you could sell makeup You could sell hair brushes. You could sell all kinds of different products You could have affiliate links below your videos when you're doing tutorials that link to amazon You can go to amazon sign up for an affiliate account as soon as you do that You can pull up any product on amazon and create a link to that product Put it in your description below when people click on it you get paid Uh, and I tell you and if you really want to know how it's done best is just google or excuse me Go into youtube and look for makeup channels and look at their description and look at the links and look at what they've done You got to do research. You really do And look at what they've done and what they're selling and you just do the same stuff I mean don't copy them, but I mean the same methods You do need tube buddy and I put I'm going to put a link in the description after this video to tube buddy You want to get tube buddy super super important because that will help you Figure out what kind of videos to do and it's got all kinds of instruction. You'll see it's free. It's free You'll see tracy. Yes. Who did get the um amazon card and who got the dq card somebody put that in there If you got the amazon card, you got the dq card. Let me know about that um How long should your videos be somebody's asked me about how long your videos should be well Well, that's a good subject because that's what I screwed up in the beginning is I was doing I thought well, I want to do a whole bunch of videos So I'll do like one and two minute videos real quick ones that people will watch and I'll get a high percent watch time And it doesn't work that way unfortunately YouTube makes money Based on running ads on your videos Okay, so they do want to show your videos because they make money because they can run ads on your videos Now they announced like a month ago. Even if you're not monetized They're going to put ads on your videos even if you're not monetized and they're going to make money Now some people got like super mad about that. They're like, well, that's not fair because you know They're running ads and making money off my videos and I'm not making any money Well Then make money all you got to do is get your channel monetized all you do is do good enough videos to get monetized And they'll pay you a share but understand YouTube owns the platform They don't charge you for it, you know, they let you use it So back to the question about how long your video should be now it makes sense that If they're running ads on your videos, they need a longer video So they can put more ads in it makes sense, right? So with that having been said they recommend an eight minute video eight minutes I like to do 10 to 14 minute videos I think that gives a little bit more in depth on whatever i'm talking about It gives them the opportunity to put all the ads in there, which I think eight minute video They can put up to four ads in it something like that But if you do that and you make your videos, you know, 10 to 14 minutes like what i'm telling you They're going to be more likely to show them and the reason they're going to be more likely to show them Is they've got more room to put ads in it and they can make money So just think of it this way you need to make a video that's going to help youtube make money That's what they do. They make money on running ads. That's the whole platform. Okay, that is the whole platform Now the cool thing about youtube is They want to show your videos If you do a video or a post on facebook, they have no inclination to show your post or your videos Why would they what good does it do them? What does do them good is people who advertise on facebook so they're more likely to show an ad over there Additionally, if I put a video on facebook today now Some people are going to see it, but guess what in a week? Hey, nobody's seeing that video It's going to be pushed so far down in the feed. Nobody's seeing it But if I do a video on youtube, which I have one that's five years old It's got like 60 000 views on it because it was it was how to do meta tags and wordpress People are still searching for that and youtube is still showing it to people because it's still interesting So it doesn't get lost in addition to that you can come to my channel and you can search By subject and you can find all these different videos on different subjects You can't do that on facebook You can't go to somebody's channel because there is no channel really you can't go to their page and search And I why don't I guess you could but nobody does it nobody ever ever searches your page your group for information Just doesn't happen. Okay. That's not why they're there facebook is set up as A social sharing platform. Okay to stay connected with your friends and family and see where they're doing That's what they're doing. Okay. That just call it what it is If you advertise on there, you can make a lot of money I have a course on facebook ads, which you'll see in the description later on when this video ends YouTube is set up for people to learn things and be entertained.  All right I've got time for probably a couple more questions before I get out of here I've given away two cards, but i'm not going to give away another card So somebody tells me who got the dq card And who got the amazon card put that in the chat section right now I want to know who got the cards. I want to know. I want to know. I'm interested What's your most effective way to sell online courses? That's a great question actually Really good question The best way to sell an online course is to give free content. I'm right back to the free content thing Right now i'm doing free content. Okay, and below in the description after this video You're going to see links to free courses. I have so generally what i'll do is i'll give somebody a free course They go through that free course They like what they see and at the end i'll offer them one of my paid courses Okay, and you can certainly run ads so we're starting a really big ad campaign You guys are going to see a lot of ads if you're subscribed to my channel But we're starting ads for a master class i'm doing on how to make money online I feel I feel like after 11 years of doing this and millions of dollars sold I got the right to tell you okay. I got the right to tell you I can't tell you how to type because I still can't do that well Um Can you share some facebook ads tips? I got to tell you facebook ads Is a complicated animal and I will be sharing some tips on it. I may be doing a course on it I paid somebody 10 000 dollars to learn how to do um um ads on youtube As far as facebook ads go. I have an entire course on that You may want to check it out. I have a Webinar you can actually watch on that it's called facebook ads university So that's really good one Mr. Jr Time to ebay gift card 100 percent. Okay. All right. All right. I'll do it. I'll do it ebay. We got ebay. There's amazon There's apple. Why don't people like apple? I thought apple would be pretty good. There's the restaurant one Nobody wants restaurant one now another apple right there. Okay Oh starbucks starbucks. Is that what you wanted or did you want? ebay ebay you wanted ebay didn't you oh my god, this one is 25 to 200 dollars 25 to 200 dollars The worst you can do on this is what what 25, but the best you can do is 200 Dollars insanity insanity. That's a lot of money. Okay put in there guys. Who got that other gift card?  Whoever got that just pop it in there. Say I got it. Okay. Let me know Uh, olive garden. We yeah. Yeah ebay starbucks. No ebay It's like so difficult apple. Okay. I'm gonna do the ebay. I had a lot of I had a lot of requests for ebay So I'm gonna do that. All right. Let me pull this out right here All right. You get it all unsealed down Getting that card taken out There's an ebay card And let's see what we got here Okay, so you um Scratch off for pen number. I don't guess you need this number on the bottom. So I'm just going to scratch off for the pen number Okay, I'm using my finger now. I guess that's going to work All right And getting it getting it. Oh Oh, there it is Now remember 25 To 200 dollars for this card. I think you can see it now I'll make sure though Yeah, I see it. I know the number. Would you like to know the number? Would you like to know? Would you like to know? Okay, here's the number Right here You see it 559<PHONE_NUMBER> Did you get it 559 996 026 Is that 0963? Yeah 0963 here it is Okay 559<PHONE_NUMBER>. This is 25 To $200 this could be up to 200 bucks guys. This could be up to 200 bucks. Let me know who gets it I want to know who gets it Let's see what we got going on here Demon Slayer fan. No No, what? Uh, Tracy says so excited about a youtube channel. Yeah, man. I'm telling you it is the coolest thing since slice bread It's a lot of work But I mean i'm telling you you do a youtube channel and you can make money. My dog is visiting me. I thought no She's here. My dog just came in here But you can make money guys and you don't have to invest anything I mean if you've got a camera, I mean you've obviously got a device right now because you're watching me Okay, you've got what you need.  You just don't okay. You don't I am doing this live right now With a little camera that's clipped on top of my laptop However, however I can do it with just the one that's built into the laptop. I mean you can do that You start there make the content good. Okay, and how do you make good content? Go to youtube and find somebody who did a video on what you want to do it on With a lot of views, you know sort by a lot of views and look at what they did and do one even better Make yours a little bit longer. Make yours a little bit more in depth. Make yours more interesting Make yours funnier do whatever you got to do, but there's already examples of exactly what you need to do out there In the beginning days, uh, you know, everybody says well, I wish I was there in the beginning No in the beginning days. Nobody knew what to do Because there was no data. There was no other channels out there to emulate. There was nothing to copy basically Now there is now if you want to do a great makeup channel There's a lot of makeup channels You can go there and see what they did the top makeup channels and do the same stuff If you want to do a cooking channel, there's tons of cooking channels You can go out there and look at the cooking channels You know, if you want to do a diy channel go out there and look at the diy channels What what are the best ones and what are they doing? There's examples for you. It doesn't get me easier than this It's just hard work. It's just hard work Um, Tracy says I didn't get either gift cards. I'm sorry, uh, but I've learned so much From you got all of those good. That's more important than silly gift cards and I do the gift cards I mean I do do them but eBay yes You like eBay or you got the gift card for eBay. Well, you said you didn't get it So you must not have gotten that. Okay. No problem there.  I'm I've got to do some traveling next week Uh, I will be in Texas the great state of Texas Provided California lets me leave the state, you know, we're locked down We're not allowed out of our houses at 10 o'clock at night, you know, unless you go into the grocery store You know, let's your essential worker. I don't know why COVID is so bad from 10 p.m To 5 5 a.m. But that's when it's really bad apparently when it's dark and cold outside That's when COVID comes out and you need to stay in your house and I'm making fun of stuff I know it's not something I should make fun of a lot of people got sick However, the rules seem kind of silly, you know, I went in Costco the other day and it was wall-to-wall people, but you can't go inside a restaurant and sit down and eat dinner I don't know. I don't know you explain that one to me When you're in a restaurant, you can take your mask off between bites Then you got to put it back on to stand up because I guess COVID is above four feet or something like that. I don't know how it works I don't understand. Maybe you can explain this to me put it in the comments If you understand the COVID rules that have been imposed on us, please put it in the comments And I'm not saying they shouldn't have rules, but I am saying they should make sense They should make sense. Okay. All right. If you like this training put that in the chat I love hearing, you know, some good words. I love hearing that you're getting some value out of this Only reason I'm doing this if you notice I haven't sold you a thing Okay, I do want you to get to buddy. It will be in the description after this video, but it's free If you want to get the paid version you get 30 off with my link Thanks for your sharing your wisdom Tracy says yes, man, we've had some great comments. Say guys, you've been a lot of fun And I'm going to be here next Saturday. I hope this time works for you. I'm going to try to do more of these I'm getting a really good feedback on these and I don't think it's just because of the gift cards gift cards are nice They weren't they that's nice. This is a nice little freebie. Cool. I thank you so much for being here guys I'm going to go ahead and sign off. I will uh come come back to the channel Don't forget if you haven't subscribed subscribe ring the bell Turn on all bell notifications so that you get notified every time I go live. That's how you'll know That's how you'll know you got to turn on all bell notifications. It's really important Um, did you got the ebay? Yeah, I gave it away. I don't know who got it Demon slayer fan. Yeah, I gave it away. I have no idea who got it. They won't say they just won't say Why don't you guys say I know somebody's gotten all these cards give away a bunch of them today Nobody's saying say what you got put it in there. Thanks so much


Hi, I'm Laura Shannon. I'm an assistant professor in the Horticultural Science Department at the University of Minnesota. My lab studies potato breeding genetics and genomics. And so we sort of have three major goals. The first is to develop a better understanding of potato diversity and genomics. And we do this in service of developing methods to breed potatoes faster. So right now it's a 10 to 12 year process from crossing to release and we're interested in speeding that process up. And then the third thing we do is develop new potato varieties for Minnesota and North Dakota growers. And so I'm going to talk a little bit about sort of the variety of projects we have in all of those areas. So we work at two different field sites. Our first field site is our trial site in Becker, Minnesota. It's sandy and irrigated, which are representative of the environment in the region. And so what we've got there is our breeding program trials. And excitingly for us, so I've been running the breeding program for three years now. So we have our first trials of our own material because we move things into trials in year three. And so we're working on russets and chips and reds and yellows and we've got all of those in trials in Becker. The other thing we have trialing in Becker right now is the North Central Regional trial. We work with Susie in North Dakota and with Jeff Endelman in Wisconsin and with Dave Douches at Michigan State. And we all swap fresh market varieties and trial them so we can trial them in each of the four environments. And so we've got that growing this year too. So that is what we have growing at Becker right now. Our other site is in Grand Rapids, Minnesota. And that is our seed location because we need to be able to produce clean seed. And that's also where we do early generation selection. So the first couple of generations of our breeding program are located there. We grow out about 30,000 single hills every year and we select about 1% of those to continue on. And so this is our third year of doing that. And it's our first time having our own crosses in the field. Other than that, we've been using unselected material from other programs. And again, this is in the sort of four different market classes we're working in. So Russets and Chips and Reds and Yellows. From there, of that material, we select about 1% and then we grow them out in our second year. We grow them out in 12 hills so we get a little more replication. We get a little better sense of whether it's consistent over plants and what's environmental and what's genetic. So we're growing that out this year as well. And of that, we select about 25% to go into year three. And so that was what I was talking about, about the trials at Becker. That's our year three. The other thing we have at Grand Rapids is all of our seed increase. So we need to maintain seed for the breeding program. Another thing we've been working on is we inherited varieties from the previous breeder. And they had a really high disease load. So we cleaned them up in tissue culture using antiviral tissue culture methods over the last couple of years. And we're growing them out in Grand Rapids this year to develop enough seed to be able to evaluate them. And so that project was sponsored by Area 2 and the North Plains Potato Growers Association. The other thing we're developing seed for this year is we have a couple of legacy varieties that don't really fit well in a market class. We've got a really nice purple one. We've got a red skin yellow flesh one that people have known for a long time, tastes good, but they're not particularly, they're having trouble finding their niche, right? So our goal is to grow them out and produce enough seed to trial them with sort of smaller scale growers, farmers market kind of growers, CSA kind of growers, and then chefs, especially in the Twin Cities and see if we can find them a home. And that's a project that's been sponsored by the MDA. The last thing we have growing at Becker right now is I talked about how we're trying to speed up the breeding process. And so one of the things that makes it slow is there's a long time involved in evaluating a clone before we can use it as a parent. Because we have to see whether or not it's got the qualities we're looking for. And we do that by assessing the phenotypes over many, many years. But we're able to predict phenotypes based on genetics. And so we've been working again with this north central group, and we picked a set of chip crosses. So we've got 10 chip crosses, and we're each growing out 200 individuals per cross in these four different locations. And so each place has completely different individuals, and we're all picking our best hundred out of that. And we're going to genotype them all. And then we're going to use an algorithm that we've been working on to estimate what the phenotypes are going to be like. And from that, we can pick what's a promising parent. So we're going from six years from crossing to being able to use something as a parent to, we're going to try to do it in two years. And we're doing it in this multi-environment way so that we can make sure we're not going way off in the wrong direction. So that's what we have going on at Grand Rapids right now. Sort of some of the other major thrusts of the program include we're working on diploid breeding. And so we've been collecting flowers from growers around Minnesota and North Dakota and pollinating them with a diploid inducer to create diploid potatoes to hopefully move toward an inbred hybrid breeding system that will allow us to make changes to varieties faster and respond to changing environmental pressures and respond to changes in consumer demand. So we've been working on that and we've got grad students working on figuring out if there are systematic differences between diploids and tetraploids and working on doing some simulations to determine the best breeding system. We're also working on some kind of large scale diversity studies. We're coming up with a core set of the U.S. Potato Gene Bank using genotyping data to make it so we can screen really fast. We can screen the whole germplasm for desirable traits like disease resistance and then intergress them into especially these new diploids we're creating. But the Gene Bank is huge. So having a representative set really helps us move forward quickly. And so we're developing that. We're part of a team working on sequencing the potato genome in a way where we can distinguish between each of the four chromosomes and that's going to be really new and a really powerful tool for genomic research. So those are sort of the main thrusts we've got going on and like I said what we've been doing is we've been doing some of this really kind of basic science work in the genomics which allows us to work on developing new methods like the genomic selection for picking parents faster and these diploids for just making the whole breeding process faster. And all of this is hopefully in the service of developing new varieties that have increased quality traits and increased resistance to biotic and abiotic stress. Thanks.


Welcome back to Politics in Hawaii, the Dennis Isaki on Think Tech, Hawaii. Today we'll be speaking with Robin Danner, a Native Hawaiian leader on the island of Kauai, and has lived with Native Hawaiians, Native Americans on Indian reservations, and Arctic homelands in Alaska of the Inuit people. We'll be talking about Native Hawaiian advancement and the politics behind it. Robin is highly experienced in finance, investment, affordable housing, and economic development, as well as experience in federal government aid systems and advocacy. Cannot list all the organizations she's involved in, but it will take the whole 30 minutes, so we'll touch upon a few of them later. She continues to dedicate her life to the self-determination of Native people. To do this, she has shown her perseverance, dedication, and knows her way around the political system. Robin, can you tell us some of the things you've done and what are you doing and how politics are part of it? Well, good afternoon, Dennis. First, let me thank you for inviting me on your show. A pleasant surprise, always nerve-wracking, especially on the top of my favorite topic, Native Hawaiians. I'm here today in my more political or policy role as the elect Shaw Chairwoman, which is the Sovereign Counsel of Hawaiian Homestead Associations. It's a 34-year-old advocacy organization that unifies over 42 different homestead associations across the state. So I work with a lot of Native Hawaiian leaders on trust lands from Oahu to Big Island, Maui, Moloka, etc. And so I want to, if it's all right with you, give a shout-out to my fellow council members that are also elected on the Shaw Council, which is Sibyl Lopez from Molokai, Uncle Ron Kordani from Hului Island, Richard Sue from Oahu and Kekoa Inamoto from Maui, these are the five council folks. Plus our very own Kipukai Kuali'i chairs our policy committee. He keeps us straight and on the straight and narrow road of our policy. But to answer your questions, I don't know, their policy and politics, some people think they're the same. I don't believe they are. I think that communities role that one of the areas that we can be much, much better at is policy. Policymakers need good ideas, and that's really what policy is. Politics is the art of compromise and usually the domain of elected officials, whether in the legislative branch at the state or the congressional branch, the legislative branch at the federal level. So sometimes we confuse policy versus politics, and I try to teach our homestead leaders that we are better suited and we should help our policymakers know what good ideas actually look like for Native Hawaiians and for the whole state. In terms of accomplishments, wow, policy is fun. Politics is fun. I tend to like to watch politics and I like to engage in policy, which is to bring good ideas to administrations, to government bodies, to even funding partners across the country on where they should put their investments. So Dennis, to answer your question, I'd say some of the accomplishments of the Shah say 20 years ago, we got Native Hawaiians added to a bill called Nahazda, the Native American Housing Assistance and Self-Determination Act. What did that do? We worked with Senator Inouye and Senator Akaka. That has funneled over $150 million over the last 20 years directly into the state of Hawaii, doing what? Paying for roads, for unions to build out infrastructure, things of that nature. So 20 years ago, I would probably say Nahazda and working to include Native Hawaiians in many national, federal Indian programs that are relevant, like community financing, et cetera. 10 years ago, I'd say some of the accomplishments with the Obama administration, probably the most notable, that will help Hawai'i citizens, but also Native Hawaiians in particular, is for the first time in 100 years, we have federal regulations on a 100-year-old federal law called the Hawaiian Homes Commission Act, which created Hawaiian homelands. And it was a thrilling three years of work with President Obama and his administration to bring that into fruition. And then in the Biden and Trump administration, I'd... I understand you went all the way to President Obama himself to talk to him about it, and you're very successful with doing that. Yes. Walking up to the West Wing, I have to tell you, Dennis, what was in the back of my mind was, do I ask the President of the United States a softball question and get invited to the Christmas party? Or do I ask him the question that when I turn 80 years old, I don't have to wish that I had asked him? So obviously, I asked him the question that I really wanted him to take on, and it was nerve-wracking and exhilarating at the same time. Darn Straits, Barack Obama is an excellent politician, but I think when you engage directly with him, the guy is a policy wonk. He really is interested in solutions. You got the Hawaiian Homestead Community Development Corporation, you're involved with? That was for that. We founded the Homestead Community Development Corporation 12 years ago, right here on Kauai, and it's a statewide organization. Now it has offices on Kauai, on Oahu, also on Maui, and in Washington, D.C. and HCDC essentially is a 501c3 that takes the good ideas of Shaw and Homestead Association leaders, brings those ideas into the 501c3 and implements them on the ground. Whether that's affordable housing or job creation, community development, basically drafting business plans for every vision that those community leaders have, and then deploying that business plan with capitalization and know-how. That's HCDC, I think it's 12 years old, it'll continue to be an important corporation on Homesteads. What about the Council for Native Hawaiian Advancement? That was a 20-year-old, I was still in Alaska at that time, wrote the business plan for the Council for Native Hawaiian Advancement, probably what I'm most known for as the founder of CNHA, which was to bring Native Hawaiians together around all disciplines, whether health or housing or education, etc., and to have an annual convening, an annual convention of Native Hawaiian nonprofits so that housing developers just sitting next to health care providers or sitting next to educators, so that Hawaiians could be in the same room talking about the things that we can agree on, and there's a lot that we agree on. Yeah, you mentioned you're up in Alaska, some of our friends up there up in Barrow in the Arctic Circle, so far pleased to be from warm Hawaii to an Arctic Circle, how was that? I was happy to get my allotment notice in 1996 from the Department of Hawaiian Homelands when I was up there that my name had come up on the list, but I loved every minute of the 20-25 years that I worked among the Inuit leaders, some really giants in the self-determination work and sovereignty work of Native peoples. I ended up being their tribal housing authority executive director building home ownership and rental housing. I ended up being their county, their municipal government director for housing, and of course my main career background, I spent well over a decade as the banker in a region five million acres large. So I really appreciated actually getting to work for a large municipal county government. It gave me from a capitalism, coming from banking, which is almost pure capitalism, it really helped me understand what it's like to be on the other side in a county government, and then working with the tribe, getting to work with the federal government. So I can't say enough about the people there. As you know, I think you know some of the leaders there because they are, many people might not know that they really mentored all of us here on Kauai when we started KIUC, right? A lot of their leaders came. Yeah, I got to know a lot of those leaders they mentioned, the National Rural Electric Cooperative Association, we've been taught for all this time. Bryce Brower, they were pioneers really in taking the co-op model where a community owns their utility, and in their case water also to deliver to their to their communities. And it was just a random cool connection, Dennis, that Utkalovic Inuit leaders would be coming back and forth to Kauai during those early years of forming the Kauai Island utility co-op. Okay, and Governor Abercrombie, was it Governor Abercrombie appointed you to the Native Hawaiian Rural Commission? He did. I don't know whether he regrets that. I hope not. He appointed myself and not a lehu. Governor Waihe'e is the chair. Le Kihoi is on that commission and that commission still exists today and its primary purpose is to establish a base role for Native Hawaiians that want to organize and have sovereignty similar to a state sovereignty, similar to a county sovereignty to represent and really attack the challenges with solutions from a Native Hawaiian perspective to advancing, not just the Hawaiian community but our state. So where is it going from here in the specifics? Well, one of the requests that I made to President Obama was around this issue and he did approve it. There were three things that I asked or two things, two things that I asked President Obama to contemplate. The first was the realization that our Hawaiian Homelands Act was passed in 1920, 1921, and normally when a federal law is passed of that magnitude, normally underneath the federal law, you start doing regulations to implement certain sections of the law so that it's consistent. But Prince Kuhio, as you might know, who was the champion of the Hawaiian Homes Commission Act, got it passed in 1921 and then passed away. He died in 1922. And so the champion for the Hawaiian Homelands Act was gone and no one thought to do the next step which was regulatory. And so that was my first ask to President Obama was for him to do something that had not been done in nine decades to begin the process of promulgating federal regulations over the state of Hawai'i, federal regulations over the state of Hawai'i, in the implementation of the Hawaiian Homes Commission Act. He approved the first two regulations ever in nine decades and there's probably seven to ten more to be done, which we are advocating for now with the Biden administration. And the second thing that we asked or the Shah asked for was a regulatory process for those Hawaiians, particularly Homestead Hawaiians that have a lot to lose, but for a regulatory process for those Hawaiians that voluntarily want to develop a constitution and stand up a native only government. This is not same as per say a kingdom or independence, but it would be a native only government to engage on a government-to-government relationship with federal government. And so that took three years of public comments here in Hawai'i and also among tribes and among US citizens and in 2016 President Obama signed both of those, all three of the federal regulations that you just asked me about. Well, we know our friend Clifton He, former senator and Oha leader. Did you work with him on Hawaiian issues? Incredible. Hard to work with that guy, but he's probably one of the, what I loved about Senator He is you didn't have to guess where he was and that is such a blessing. Sometimes you didn't want to hear what he had to say, but what I appreciated about him as a policymaker, he was a straight shooter. He would tell you and have the great debates with you, you know, never personal and always a good dialogue, really what democracy was all about. And Senator He, champion of education, champion of monitored and proper development on Hawaiian homelands. He was a joy really to work with, even though you might leave his office and not sure whether you still had your limbs attached, but that guy deserves our respect, always will have my respect. He, like I said, that I think the most important thing I like is he understood his job was politics. Mine was not. My job was to give him good policy and to argue good policy with him so that we could come out with a good policymaking. I hope you're still making good decisions is on the parole board right now. Oh, did not know that. Did not know that. Okay, is a hard one. How about Senator Akaka and Akaka bill? What does it take on it? And well, it's in Washington. The Akaka bill, if you're talking about federal recognition. So I was on the original working group with many Hawaiians and national Indian leaders back in 2000 with the first discussion about federal recognition. The Akaka bill is no longer necessary because federal recognition is a standing by the federal government. And President Obama, one of my favorite things that he said to us, he said no citizen should be invisible to their government. And so one of the reasons and one of the regulations that he approved was a pathway for federal recognition or any native Hawaiian native Hawaiians that wanted to come together, put together a constitution, ratify it and apply for this government to government relationship. It may not be for everyone. I am a strong proponent of it. I certainly want it for my children and my grandchildren. That doesn't mean I want it for others. Each Hawaiian has to decide for themselves family by family. So Senator Akaka, beloved, I met Senator Akaka as a young tribal executive. I was actually building housing for Native Americans and my parents for school teachers in Indian country. So I first met Senator Akaka not here at home. I met him in Indian country. Okay, we're at the halfway point. What do we take a short break? Thanks for watching Think That Hawaii. Back to Think That Hawaii with Dennis Isaki and Robin Danner. Robin, we've spread it around HHL, Department of Hawaiian Homeland. Can you give us your thoughts? What a powerful agency this tiny, one of the smallest departments in state government could be but impact Native Hawaiians today and the state of Hawaii, the construction industry, the finance industry. Tremendous potential if we can get DHHL focused. The Shaw and our Shaw leaders are very much looking forward to 2022 because we know democracy is going to deliver to us a new governor and with a new governor could pretend a new administration at DHHL. And we're hopeful that we will get a governor and a DHHL administration that is far more connected to the brilliance, frankly, and the very deep expertise of Hawaiian Homestead Association leaders. They're like these wonderful gems that are sitting in the sidelines in the bleachers. And we're looking for a governor, Dennis, that recognizes the talent and the asset that Native Hawaiian Homestead leaders are themselves and to invite them down on the field to bring solutions to the challenges of that department. Probably the Shaw is one of the premier experts of not only the Hawaiian Homes Commission Act but also of the Department of Hawaiian Homelands. And we're really hopeful for 2022. Yeah, along the same lines. Speaking about sticking to the DHHL, what about the 50% blood quantum? So the 50% blood quantum is to get an original lease but the Shaw and many leaders from Molokai to Maui to Kauai worked for seven years to lower the blood quantum for air, for an air, for what we call successorship. That blood quantum is 25%, but for the last seven years we have done community organizing, discussion amongst ourselves, and then we came out with a policy position three years ago and got it passed at the state legislature to lower the blood quantum for successorship to 132nd, which would be roughly 3%. So that passed the Hawaii state legislature, want to thank the legislature for that. And now the second step to making that come to fruition is that the US Congress must review that amendment and hopefully they will approve it. And so July 9th of this year, 2021 is the 100 year anniversary and where the Shaw has requested that Congressman Kahele, Congressman Case, Senator Hirono, Senator Schatz introduce the Hawaiian Homeland Improvement Act and incorporate that the work at the state legislature incorporate that for adoption and consideration by the full Congress before the next, the midterm elections while the Democrats control the White House, they control the Senate, they control the House. So we would like to see the Hawaiian Homeland Improvement Act of 2021 introduced and passed, which includes the excellent work of the state legislature two years ago in adopting our blood quantum, reducing the blood quantum to 3% for successors. So they're still going to leave that 50% on the original last days? Well, I can tell you that 50%ers like myself, we know that Jonah Cujillo, Kalaniana Ole, the father of the Hawaiian Homes Commission Act, he intended the blood quantum to be 132nd. It was the missionary children, the merchants of Hawaii 100 years ago that they wanted 100% and of course the Congress split the baby and that's how we ended up with a 50% blood quantum. What I can tell you is that before the 50% blood quantum can be lowered and Shaw and many of us are big proponents for that, but what we know has to happen first. We must quadruple the size of the land trust itself. We must make sure and get improvements at DHL to do three things really, really well and much better. One, DHL needs to move money better. They've got to have strengthened procurement skills to move the capital through their two contractors to build out subdivisions and whatnot. Number two, DHL needs to become a master at moving land, land to the waitlist. There are 28,000 on the waitlist and the third thing that we need DHL to get very, very good at is to move excellent, efficient, respectful partnerships with Homestead Association leaders that are elected all across the state and so Dennis I'm saying that we can that to lower the blood quantum we definitely want to do that but we're realistic about it. A, we need the state agency to quadruple the size of land.  Can you imagine if your parents inherited to you a 203,000 acre inheritance and 100 years later you have the same 203,000 acres right? That's just silliness. It's one of the reasons why the Shaw has advocated at the legislature the last four years. This is our fifth year to issue DHL CIP funds to not only develop the infrastructure but also to acquire additional land and so I think it could happen in my lifetime. Perhaps I would hope that we can get DHL functioning on all pistons, all pistons firing so that we can get to that day of lowering the blood quantum for original lesseeds. Yeah, I think it's possibly in about 30 years ago the DHL had the accelerated program. We said we're just going to give you this land. We're not going to put the roads. They did a lot of those on the whole land throughout the state. I guess that didn't go too well and they didn't get only support for the roads and no roads so they couldn't build the houses. Well I want to and they did it again just 10-15 years ago the Lingal administration did it again, did the same exact thing. But again I think I'm hopeful that the next governor will bring the Mana'o and Ike of Hawaiian leaders themselves on homesteads that are experts because we have the answers and the solutions to that. Okay, what about the Office of Foreign Affairs? Oh, much better. I mean I'm really optimistic both about DHL and about especially DHL because there's an opportunity for a new governor in a new direction. So we're prepared at the Shaw all across the state to get behind a governor by by the well before the end of this year we're in a position to endorse. Oh, I am very optimistic also you've got new leadership in there but more importantly I really like the administration of the Office of Hawaiian Affairs. I think that Sylvia Hussey is one smart lady. She may not have all the answers but she has ears and that is what's major. She is listening to the people. Okay, thanks, Straubin. Yeah, we got a lot more to cover but unfortunately we're running out of time. Got any closing remarks, Straubin? You know, Dennis on the topic of politics and policy for Native Hawaiians, I guess my closing remarks would be that the future is humongously bright and that one of the areas that we need to get better at as a state, our legislature, our elected leaders, even our county council people, we need to do a better job of becoming educated about the Hawaiian Homes Commission Act, about the Hawaii Admissions Act, of which Hawaii became a state as a condition of these certain obligations to Native Hawaiians and it's in our own Hawaii Constitution. So I think the next five years we need to spend a lot of good time dialoguing with our policy makers to help them. That's our job. Our job is to help them and their job is to listen to constituents and to learn about something that should be very, very basic because it's in the Hawaii Constitution and that is that the state of Hawaii, the 50th state, is one state out of 34 in the country that has an indigenous population and that is a brilliant, huge opportunity that I believe has not been maximized to its fullest for the benefit of our indigenous people or for our entire state. And so my closing remarks would be that I am excited. Sybil, Uncle Ron, Uncle Richard, Auntie Kekoa, we're all excited to be working more directly with the state legislature and legislators to have dialogue about how simple it is to implement the tenets of the Hawaii Admissions Act for the benefit of Native Hawaiians, but also I cannot emphasize this enough, the benefit of every resident of Hawaii that we need to get better at embracing the fact that we are special as a state that has special opportunities because we have an indigenous population within it. Thank you, Rob. Mahalo. Thanks for spending time with us today. Mahalo to Think Tech and its personnel. Please join us two weeks from now for another episode on Think Tech Hawaii.

So in this question, there should be what kind of collision it should be, perfectly inelastic can we say? Yes sir. Or can I say that entire kinetic energy should be converted into ionization, can I say like that? It's not possible. That's not possible. Maximum loss that can happen is by converting, by having an inelastic collision. And in the inelastic collision wherein one atom collides with the other atom, it is mass m and m. Momentum m into v will be equal to m plus m to v1. So v1 is equal to v by 2. Okay, so the initial kinetic energy is half m into v square. The final kinetic energy is half into both the masses will stuck together and move together half this. So this will be 1 by 4 m v square. So the loss in kinetic energy, which will be used for ionization is initial minus final that is 1 by 4 m v square. This should be equal to how much? The ionization. How much? 13.6. That's it. 1.6 into 10 is power minus 19. So you need to write the mass of the atom also over here, which is this. Once you do that, you'll get velocity which is, if you do your calculation properly, which is 7.2 into 10 is power 4 meter per second. This is what you'll get. Okay, this one. Every physics question, you must draw a diagram. Without drawing, I'll not even look at what you have done. Okay, and there's a high chance you'll be making a sillier. Even if you get a very, very simple physics question also, draw a diagram. That is a must. Put a thread like this or a ball as a tango here. Like that, put a ball. Also, you know that J mains high chance that it will get postponed by at least two months. So you are at a very, very good position that syllabus got over quickly. And you have a lot of time to do everything else in physics. Okay, Chaitanya, Vikas and Ruchir, all three got different answers. Definitely one of you are wrong. One of you are right. No, need not be right. At least two will be wrong. That is a better statement to make. Chaitanya changed his answer. Others, Hia, what are you getting? Dhruv Bhatia. So here, what is happening? Okay, I can see many of you have answered here. Silver ball of ultraviolet wavelength is this. Total energy that has been imparted on the silver ball is given. Total energy is 1.1 into 1 into 10 is minus 7 joules. So I can find out number of photons that has hit there because if I get number of photons, I will be getting number of electrons that ejected. Okay, and electron that will be ejected will create a positive charge. So potential will be positive. Okay, it will not be negative. If you're getting negative, that is wrong because electrons are ejecting. So it will become positive charge, isn't it? Now, I think it is a unitary method question. There is no formula as such till the final formula of the potential. You have to do it as a unitary method. So first you have to find out number of photons hitting. That will be 10 is power minus 7 divided by 1242 by 200 electron volt. So that is 1.6 into 10 is power minus 19. So I hope you remember this formula. 1242 by wavelength in nanominter will give you electron volts for the photon. Yes or no? So here if we do that 6.626 into 3 into 10 to power 8, that 6.626 into 3 we can take as 20, right? Then it will directly go off. Whatever it is, you can do that. You can do this way also. That's what I'm saying. Calculation I'm not teaching anyways. Okay, so number of electrons that will be ejected will be equal to number of photons divided by 10,000. That is 10 is power 4. You get number of electrons. Okay, once you get number of electron, you will get total amount of positive charge will be number of electrons into charge of one electron this. So the potential that will get developed is 1 by 4 pi epsilon naught Q divided by the radius which is 4.8 into 10 is minus 2. So once you do your calculation correctly, the final answer you will get it is 0.3 volts. Not this. That is a good question. Do this, all of you. Draw a small diagram also. Okay, Ruchir got something. Minimum kinetic energy is how much? Minimum is how much? Both the Ruchir got something. That photoelectric experiment, you remember? That kind of tube was there. This thing. This is the experiment they are talking about. Between these two, 2 volt is there. The light is hitting here. Electrons are getting ejected and going there. Now this is the emitter. This is the collector. The minimum kinetic energy that can come out of emitter will be how much? From emitter. Minimum kinetic energy is how much? Zero. Zero. K minimum is zero. And for collector, the same kinetic energy will become how much? How much by the time it reaches collector? EV. That is 2 electron volt. Fine, so this is the minimum kinetic energy. So even if kinetic energy is zero, because of the potential difference, by the time it reaches collector, its kinetic energy will be too EV. All of you getting it? Now the maximum kinetic energy. Maximum kinetic energy from emitter. You can get it from Einstein's equation. K is equal to h mu minus work function. Now h mu you can write in electron volts. That will be very comfortable. 1242 divided by 200 electron volt minus 4.5. This is how much? 1.7. There is max kinetic energy at the emitter. By the time it reaches collector, how much it will become? 3.7. 1.7 plus 2. That is 3.7 electron volt. So they are not asking the minimum and maximum kinetic energy from the emitter. They are asking by the time it reaches collector what it will be. So I hope you got that point. Horizontal plate. You have to do the first one. Do you understand the question? In a way they are asking you with what velocity the plate should move so that the electrons can be ejected out of it. You can move the plate so fast that electrons will not be able to come out itself. What is that velocity? Suppose there is a plate, this is the plate. Electrons will be coming out like this let us say. Now suppose maximum velocity with which electron comes out is Vmax. And if plate start moving with let's say 2 times of Vmax will electron be able to come out? Everyone are you getting it? Will electron be able to come out or not? No I won't. It won't. It has to move faster than the plate's velocity for it to come out. And that much velocity it cannot have. So we need to basically find out Vmax for this particular scenario. Nothing else. Maximum kinetic energy is 1242 divided by 250 electron volt minus 1.9. This is roughly 5 times or 4.9 minus 1.9. So this is 3 electron volt. What happened? So now 3 electron volt is the kinetic energy. Half 9.1 into 10 is equal to minus 31 half m V square is equal to 3 into 1.6 10 is equal to minus 19. So V square is 4.8 into 2 divided by 9.1 into 10 raise to power this is 31 minus 19. It is how much? 22. No 12. So you can see numerator is close to the denominator only. So take a square root close to 10 raise to power 6 meter per second. One second. Okay. Anyone? Anyone is able to get something? One minute sir. Richard Parek got something. Is it very similar to the question where the potential difference was 2 volts? So it is very similar to that if you can understand that. Okay. Fine. First of all what is the electric field due to a sheet? Do you remember the formula? Sigma by 2 epsilon. Sigma by 2 epsilon mod. How much it is? Sir can you give 20 seconds? Just calculate. Do you calculate? I am doing it from start.  E is how much? Have you calculated E? Sir I didn't calculate. I went to the last step. Good. That is the best thing. You can leave the calculation to the very end. That is also good. 1.1 into 10 parts 3. This is what? You will have 18 pi divided by 2. 18 pi Newton per coulomb is your electric field. Richard? Sir you can go. I will keep trying. So what is the potential difference between the sheet and wherever the cesium plate is? How do you get that? 18 pi into? Multiply by the length. Length which is 0.2. So this will become how much? 3.6 pi volts. Now I have to find out what minimum and maximum kinetic energy. Minimum kinetic energy will be 3.6 pi electron volt. Because it is like the previous one where it ejects with zero kinetic energy and undergoes this potential difference. So it will be that. And mind you, you need to be very careful. The same question, the potential. Suppose it is a negatively charged plate. If it is negatively charged plate, then what is the minimum kinetic energy that will reach the plate? If it is negatively charged, what do you think? Sir it won't reach the plate. It won't reach. The answer is zero. Minimum. Maximum will be what? The maximum kinetic energy minus the potential difference. You should not add then if it is a negative potential. And if for the for the maximum also you are getting negative kinetic energy. It means that your potential is more than the stopping potential. So both minimum and maximum is zero. So you need to ensure whether it is possibly charged or negatively charged also. Anyway, so now the maximum kinetic energy that get ejected out is equal to 1242 divided by 400 minus 1.9. And on this you need to add 3.6 pi this much electron volt it will be. Fine. How much it is? Has anyone calculated? So I got 3.2. 3.2? Oh no this is yes 13.2 electron volt. 13.2 electron volt. This is how much? 3.6 pi? 10? 12. 12 electron volt. 12? Yes sir. Yes. Huh? Okay. Fine. Not a big difference. Fine. Let us take couple of radioactivity also. I have couple of them. They are different. There is one. Agricultural experiment. Do the first one. Second one also is good. So what is one QT? One QT, did you forget? 3.7 into 10 to the power 10. One QT is 3.7 into 10 is power 10 becquerel. See I am not looking for the final answer here. You just tell me that you are done. As in the expression you got. That is all. You may require lock table or something like that. Okay. Should I discuss? Chatty, Chatanya what do you think? Yes sir you can discuss. You are done? Yeah. Okay. So we have one mole of radioactive material that was injected in a root of a plant. The plant is allowed 70 hours and then activity was measured. You need to find the percentage of activity that got transmitted from the root to the fruit after 70 hours. So after 70 hours what will be the overall activity? You know dn by dt is equal to n0, sorry dn by dt is lambda into n, right? Lambda into n. After time t you can write n as n0 e to the power minus lambda t. So activity as a function of time is this. Now lambda is 0.693 divided by this is per day, right? Every day has 24 hours, 60 minutes, 60 seconds. This is your lambda n0 is our hydro number 6 into 10 to the power 23 e to the power. Now here you can convert lambda in hours only. That is 0.693 divided by 14.3 into 24. That's all you have to do because you are trying to find out after 70 hours. So if you put t in hours here, lambda you can have per hour because lambda into t is any way dimensionless. So this is dn by dt, overall dn by dt. That's a 14.3 message, let me know. Now the activity on the fruit is 1 micro curie. So that is 3.7 into 10 is power 10 into 10 is power minus 6. Just have to take a ratio. You divide this overall with that. That is the ratio. That's all they want. Calculation wise it will be intensive. But then this is how you have to do. What is this? There was this one, a vessel volume tritium pascal. Tell me how will you do this? You don't need to actually solve it. Tell me, just tell me the idea. So we find out the number of moles by the ideal gas equation and then you can just use the lambda. So you are assuming it is an ideal gas. So you just need to find number, right? So you can get the number by any means. Here you have to assume it is an ideal gas. So like that, it is an ideal gas equation. That is a trick here. These vessels will be there in the mains exam. Do the first question only. This is the last thing for today. Then we are done. Richard get the final answer. You have the calculator, right? Anyways. I don't have one. You know I am saying you are like Sakuntala Devi, you heard of? Yes, I am a mathematician.  Get it quickly. Alright, I will quickly solve this now. Is there anyone in the middle of a calculation? So one minute sir. Life is this. One gram has how many potassium nuclei? How do I get that? One divided by what? So 40 into the... You have to divide by the atomic mass of KCl or the molecular mass of KCl. Molecular mass. Sir, molecular mass. Molecular mass, right? Molecular mass. Molecular mass. How much is the molecular mass? Potassium is 39. 25. 35.5. So this is... 74.5. 74.5. That into Avogadro number. This is the number of KCl and number of potassium is same as number of KCl. Okay. Suppose the molecular formula would have been K2Cl2. Then the number of KCl would be half of number of potassium. So what have you got? You have to double it. Your counting number of nucleus ultimately. It doesn't matter what is the chemical combination. Nuclear reaction doesn't care about the chemical combination. It is all about number of nuclei. And nuclear reaction rate doesn't depend on external conditions also. It doesn't depend on temperature, pressure or anything else from outside because very strong force is involved in the radioactivity and any other things related to nucleus. Anyways, this is the number of... Total number of potassium and we need to find fraction of potassium inside it. Now, this is the thing which I have got from this data and radioactive will be only K40. So K40 activity is given dN by dt. Activity is 160. 160 should be equal to lambda times number of K40. So number of K40 will be equal to 160 divided by lambda. This is number of K40 and this is total number. So the fraction will be number of 40 divided by the total number of potassium. Got it? So this is the way we have to solve this question. Alright guys, so I guess that's it from my side today. We will meet next week with a chapter. Which chapter should we take? The first one? Can you suggest? Type it, quick. Electrostatic, AC, electrostatic, electro-electrostatics. Okay, we'll be taking electrostatics. Bye for now. Thank you, sir. Thank you, sir.


In a landmark endeavor to drive women's empowerment, foster entrepreneurship, and propel sustainable agricultural development, the Ministry of Agriculture in partnership with the Inter-American Institute for Cooperation on Agriculture, ICA, and the Taiwan Technical Mission has initiated the transformative Wear Women Bloom, supporting sustainable livelihoods for women and youth through capacity building and inclusivity in the mushroom industry project. Under this innovative collaboration, 25 women have been equipped with essential skills in small-scale mushroom production and the operation of mushroom-growing units. These participants have undergone comprehensive training, enhancing their capabilities, and paving the way for economic independence and self-sufficiency. Representative of ICA in St. Lucia and the Eastern Caribbean states, Greg Rawlins, explains that this collaboration between the Ministry of Agriculture, ICA, and the Taiwan Technical Mission underscores the significance of public-private partnerships in driving impactful change. The partnership of the Taiwanese Technical Mission in support of sustainable livelihoods through a focus on producing real impact with women, their capacity building and promoting inclusivity in market participation and industry representation has been welcomed by ICA. The project Wear Women Bloom is predicated upon the realization that small-scale and sustainable mushroom production provides an opportunity to local farmers to diversify their production and to invest in the rural milieu with potential for high return on investment. During the certificate ceremony, each participant received a certificate of completion and were provided with mushroom care kits, symbolizing the project's practical approach to ensuring continued success. These kits serve as tangible tools for nurturing newly acquired skills and knowledge, enabling the women to implement what they have learned and contribute to the growth of the mushroom industry. Ambassador of the Republic of China Taiwan to St. Lucia, His Excellency Peter Chien-Chien underscored the significance of this recognition in validating participants' efforts and reinforcing the dedication of all stakeholders to driving sustainable change and development. We are proud to say that this project has benefited the women around the island from grossly to viewful. From the application training session to the preparation for building up mushroom houses, every participant has shown collaborative partnership with our team. Minister for Agriculture for Shrees Food Security and Rural Development Honourable Alfred Prosper emphasized the vital role of women in ensuring food and nutrition security, improving household welfare and stimulating local economies. He commanded the project's holistic approach covering practical training sessions on the construction of mushroom houses for its potential to enhance women's participation and elevate the agricultural sector's role in strengthening national food security. We know the supportive function of women in the home economy is critical to food and nutrition security, youth and elderly health and well-being, as well as providing value-adding functions at the home level that both improve rural household serving while stimulating the local economy. The focus on women goes beyond simply the nature of the grant opportunity made available by the Embassy of the Republic of China on Taiwan and the Taiwan Technical Mission but also recognizes that women in agriculture in the Caribbean as in most developing countries play important roles in household food security as in companies, nurturers and managers of natural resources and biodiversity, although the success with which they are able to execute their roles is often mitigated by restricted access to land, labour, capital and technology. The Where Women Bloom project signifies the dedication of the Agriculture Ministry and its sector partners to creating a future where women and youth can prosper and sustainable livelihoods can flourish. In the communications unit of the Ministry of Agriculture, I am Anisa Antoine-Porting.
