Hi you guys, welcome back to Inside the Hymn. I'm Lindsay and today I am going to be sharing with you my plans for September. I've got three things today that I can talk about and then I've got three things that I can't talk about, secret sewing, but I'll give you a rough idea of what's going on. So the first, or the three things I can talk about, but I'm super excited. If you saw my video on what I made in August, October, then you know that I've been working my way through the Sew My Style, trying to get caught back up again. And so on the list are the Megan Nielsen Briar Tee, the Valley Blouse by Callie Faye, and the Darling Ranges dress by Megan Nielsen. So if I do those three, then I will be caught up through August and I'll just be behind on September's. So that's not so bad. The patterns on Sew My Style are literally an afternoon. You can make them cut print, cut, so you can make them all in an afternoon. So it seems like a lot but it's really not. So for the Briar Tee, I've had this fabric in my stash forever and I've never known what to do with it. I'm 99% sure I got it on sale either when Hancock was going out of business or when, like in the Joann's clearance, when the clearance is on sale. But I think it might have been Hancock and that was like a year ago when they went out of business. But it's like a sparkly silver and then a blue. It's not really even a navy. It's like a pretty true blue stripe. But I just thought that would be really cute for, I guess it goes this way, for a sweater-ish type tee. I love the Megan Niels, the Briar Tees that are made out of lightweight sweater knits. Maybe it's because Abby made one. If you don't know Abby, she's so Charleston. She used to do the channel with me. Anyways, she made one out of lightweight sweater knits so maybe I can't get that out of my head or maybe that's because what's on the cover, the pattern cover is like a lightweight sweater knit. I don't know. So I have that in my head and I've got this in my stash and I just can't imagine what else I'd use it for other than a top. So I'm gonna try that out of this. And then recently when I was at Joann I found this in the linen section.  So I got this with it. I love that it's like chambray colored, variegated stripe. All those things are like my jam. And I'm gonna use this for the Darling Rangers dress. The Darling Rangers dress is just sort of, you know, very straight forward, you know, woven button-down dress. It's kind of like a shirt dress but no collars, no pockets, none of that kind of stuff. So I thought that this would be a good textile for that given its structure and its weight and all of that. So it's like a linen blend chambray-ish type of fabric. So I'm pretty excited about that. I do have to find some buttons though. Maybe I'll do snaps. Yeah. I'll get some pearl snaps and do snaps instead because snaps are like way better than buttons. Way better. Okay, that's fun. Now I'm excited about that. Also, Butterrick just released their fall patterns. In it is this Catherine Tilton pattern, which I think is so cute, although you guys, I noticed a typo. I don't know if you can tell just from me showing you like this, but these tops are the exact same and they are given different letters. But on the back you can see that, oh wait, no, that's not true. I lied. I was misreading it. Well, I don't know what the difference between the two are then. They pretty much look the exact same to me. They look any different to you guys? Nope. Okay, anyways, so I want to make this. You need kind of like a heavier weight knit for it. They suggest sweater knits, ponty, cotton blend knits. Well, they say you can do jersey or interlock, which are lighter weight. But you only need 35% stretch, which isn't a lot. Like most knits are going to have that. And I have one that I got from Cali fabrics last year. It's like a purpley sweater knit that I think would be really pretty. But I kind of want to save that for a more simple pattern without like the tissue hem or whatever. The asymmetric hem that these have. So, and I too, I'm not 100% sold that sweater knit is the right way to go with those pockets. Because I don't want anything to get droopy. And I feel like if it's not a tighter weave, then they might get droopy. So, in I guess what it's September's Julie's picks, which I get that not all of you subscribe to and that's a huge mistake. Because she has this really awesome and I'm going to turn out to get any information away because this is super privileged members only information. Let's do it this way.  But I don't think you can. Okay, they have good. There's this like gray like a dove gray double. It's a Jacquard double knit. So you can see it's like textured and has like, you know, some fabric is raised and some is flat. And you know, a double knit is pretty pretty structured stuff here. So I feel like this would be just a really pretty color. It has the right amount of stretch in it. I feel like it would just be kind of perfect for that. But the way Julie's picks works is you can't order it until September the 1st. And I'm filming this a couple days before September the 1st. So I can't I don't even know if it's going to sell out by the time I get to it. So I kind of have my heart set on this. But I also know that double knits are not hard to come by. I know that StyleMaker has some or has had some double knits that could work. I'm sure fabric.com has some. So we'll see. A note about Julie's picks. It's awesome. I've been a member for a year now. I've ordered from them. It's been great. It's awesome if you want to learn about fabrics and touch them and tactile, you know, feel what a double knit feels like. Feel what a shally feels like.  When anybody asks me like how I learned about fabrics, that's how I learned. By going to the stores and looking. And this is an even better way to do that because it comes to you. But get a membership. They're really, really awesome. Affordable. You get tons of coupons with them. They're great. I really, really love Julie's picks. I'll link it down below. Not sponsored. Nothing like that. I just truly love it. So that's an idea that I have for Butterick 6492. Okay, so now the things that I can't really talk a lot about, but you guys will see really soon. Partnering with McCalls over the next few months to sew some of their patterns and give you guys, you know, my review on them. So the McCalls Fall, that's what I'm to say. McCalls Fall patterns came out this week. So all brand new patterns from McCalls. Super exciting. I picked one of those. I can't tell you which one it is or what I plan on doing it with it or anything, but you'll see it soon. I'm planning on posting it the middle of September. So you'll see that really, really soon. Stay tuned. I might get some sneak peeks on my socials. So you want to go follow me at Inside2Hem on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter. That would be awesome. I also have a Style Maker post of a Style Maker, the blog tour is coming up. So Fall starts on September 22nd. So do you guys remember the swatch videos that I've done for her in the past where she basically sends me all her new fabrics? And then I have like a two hour long video where all we do is talk about fabric and it's awesome and fun and you guys watch the whole thing, which is just amazing. It's like feature length film really about fabric. So I'm going to be doing that again and that's going to go live on the first day of fall, September 22nd and then the following week will be my my post for the blog tour. So many great sewists are part of the blog tour this year. Lots of new faces that you may or may not be familiar with. So that's really exciting. There's only like two or three of us that have returned from the last tour. So I think that will be a lot of fun getting to know them and seeing their styles and it's always fun to see what everybody makes. But I have an exciting project planned for that. Can I just say color blocking? And you guys will be excited. And then Saturday, well no, the week, I guess it would be that same I'm confusing myself. The Style Maker thing is going to go live on the first week of October. The last week of September I have my Cali fabrics post and if you saw what I posted on Instagram earlier this week I was asking everyone to vote for like a coding fabric and then a tunic fabric and then pick between the two views of the leggings of it's Vogue 9275. If you saw that post, then you have a good taste of what I'm going to be working on for Cali. I'm not going to tell you which combo I picked. Most everybody wanted either B or C for the coding. One or two for the tunic fabric and 99% of people voted for the legging over the pant. So what did I end up choosing? You will have to wait and see but per usual it's none of those things. It's a combination that only a few people picked but I think that a lot of people will like if that makes sense. I'm really excited to make that. I've got a lot of things I'm going to be working on this month. Thank goodness we have Labor Day which is a U.S. holiday. It's not worldwide where we don't go into the office or work or anything. I'll have a whole day. I could probably knock out two or three of those Sew My Style patterns like any split. I'm excited about that. September should be really good. I'm fully in the studio working in here all the time now. It's amazing having my own space. I can't wait to show you guys what the whole room looks like. Hopefully I'll have that video up this month as well. It's not really a make. It's not clothing but it is something that I created in my mind. A vision that I had. I'm excited to show you how that came together. Like I said, I'm in here and I'm working and it's awesome. I just love having the space and being able to shut the door at the end of the night is just really great. It's something I never realized too. Coming home from work you might feel really motivated to make something but the drag was always having to pull out all that stuff. Now I come home and I walk through the front door and say hello to Sonny. I feed him. Let him go to the bathroom and then I just walk in here and get to work on whatever I want. Whether it's something I'm in the middle of or a brand new thing, it doesn't matter. It's all set up here. Anyways, I'm rambling again but it's awesome. Hopefully I'll be able to get that video up in September, if not definitely October. Just a few little things that I'm still working on. Still waiting on a desk chair to come in. I've got to but yeah, so that'll be coming soon. Lots of exciting things for you guys to look forward to. I hope. Let me know what your plans are for September. I want to know what are you making? Are you guys still doing So My Style? Are you guys making the coat this month? Let me know. Let me know what kind of fabric you guys are using for that because obviously I'm going to have to figure out a plan for that. But even if you're not doing So My Style, let me know what your plans are. Let me know what you're excited about making. Maybe I'll add it to my list. Who knows? But until next time, I will see you guys later. Have a good one. I'm going to stop waving my arms like this now. Okay, bye.


Okay, we're back. We're live with one of my favorite people ever Claire Hannes. She's an immigration attorney And she is with aloha immigration. She's the owner and Principal person there She does immigration law in Hawaii She won an award from us a couple years ago as I recall for being courageous and stalwart and and so principled and Developing immigration policy that works for this country And I'd like to catch up with her today. Hi. Thank you Jay. Hi. It's really good to be back Yeah, so let's talk about you know where it is because you know We've had various reports from the administration who we have come not to believe in pretty much anything But they're telling us about the border They're telling us about the invasion and the caravans and we see pictures of these really pathetic people Being forced into horrible situations and we don't know what the government is really doing What is the government really doing over there? Yeah, you know, I wonder what the government's really doing to and really rely on reports of Advocates and allies who are down on the border kind of you know living this and seeing this real time There was a situation a couple weeks ago where they had people sleeping on gravel under bridges Now they're setting up more tent cities a lot of these Facilities are very difficult to get into I've heard reports from attorneys who are volunteering in these facilities that the rules and restrictions that they're under are Other than say anti-human. I don't know how to do they're not allowed to hug their clients They're not allowed to show any kind of physical Affection and these are people, you know women and children who are in you know most need of a hug and some Reason for that rule. No. No, I mean people are it's just me People are thoroughly searched before going into these facilities. So it's not as a lawyer So it's not as though they're passing off contraband to there It's it's it's to just make things as difficult and hellish for people as possible It sounds like Guantanamo actually Yeah Different it's similar and different right and cities in human conditions Around them, you know, it's a prison, right? It is it is a prison and And then at the same time the Trump administration cutting off aid policies that are at least Attempting arguably to make conditions in those countries where people and hopefully stay and they've been I've read reports that in El Salvador where there was you know money through the Agency for international development There have been some some positive developments that have made communities more safer so that people don't feel like they have to flee But now he's talking about well He's you know, we're cutting off all of that all of that funding and then wondering why people still come I mean, it's so I have words for it But build a better backyard the organization of American states. We haven't paid attention to it We haven't done anything to make this a better We have we have created the crisis and we are exacerbating it every day Yeah, and then and then dehumanizing because of race and class Biasis people who are trying to to save their families But on the other hand, you can't let everybody come in you have to have some rules, right? And of course the immigration law has not been reformed for a long time every form goes both ways You know you make it more moral, but you also make it more enforceable and and then you have a real policy Europe failed to have those policies and Europe is you know is besieged with people coming from all directions and creating problems The I guess he's worried or maybe his base is worried the same thing will happen here Seems to me the solution is legislation where Congress actually does something to create better immigration laws immigration laws that are more moral more enforceable Of course the problem is this president doesn't follow the law whatever the law is right. He told the HH the Homeland Security Kevin McKeen McKenon McEleanan right he told them look don't follow the law right. I'm the president I'm telling you don't follow the law do what I say and if you get prosecuted I will give you a pardon to me that is impeachable right on its face And those laws that he's talking about our international law their domestic law regarding the rights of refugees and asylum seekers These are not laws that we can just kind of willingly change anyway We have international obligations that we have We haven't always upheld, but the laws have always been on the books and so And what a lot of people don't a lot of people think that the laws have changed a lot under Trump Actually in the immigration area the laws, you know Congress makes a lot of people need to be reminded right Congress makes the laws The laws haven't changed what have changed are the policies and the regulations or the Trump administration has attempted to change the policies and regulations that that government how those laws are enforced For example the latest thing that yeah, I woke up this morning and read on my newsfeed is that And this is the from the office of the press secretary of the White House Additional measures to enhance border security and restore integrity to our immigration system sounds great Okay, one of the things in here is to now start charging Setting a fee for an asylum application. So I mean how many more times can you whack these people? Who are already down and and beat them further Anybody just mean it's just it's me and it's just going to create another layer of I mean It's it's we're fighting brush fires every day and I feel like it's it's it's a strategy to have us continue fighting brush Fires so that we get exhausted and either stop paying attention or just give up and and walk away But the people who are committing to fighting this causes the individuals and the nonprofits You know, we're not going away. We're going to continue to we're not we're going to continue to fight them on a national level we're going to continue to fight them on a local level and Yeah, we're tired But we're also angry and we have a lot of people who are depending on us whose situations are far worse than ours Depending on us to keep up this fight Well, one of the things we talk about here on think tech is if you know if you have a problem with what this administration is doing You should actually determine a course of action for yourself whether it's giving money whether it's doing a phone bank You know to voters in in Ohio Or in this case it raises the question about whether a lawyer who cares a lot about this would actually go to the border and Represent people in those in those prisons Is that what people are doing? How do you feel about that is what people are doing and it's it's That's an area where I personally have not been able to step up and go down to the border and help But it's it's an area that I've talked to other folks about trying to organize a Hawaii delegation And going down and there are basically shifts of so there are attorneys who are full-time there on the ground working with non-profit organizations, but then they rely heavily on Rotating teams or shifts of attorneys to come in for a week or two and And and take over bond hearings interviewing individuals and Hawaii actually has through the law school there were two people from Hawaii who have gone to the border from two attorneys and Then they came back and shared what they saw and I think that's great I think we need to have a much larger presence because We are in a way in a glorious little bubble here in Hawaii where we do have a handful of asylum seekers who have We've crossed the border and then released to family members in Hawaii But our communities, you know people from Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua are very small here So again, we've we've not had to we haven't had these issues really Confront us in a significant way, but it doesn't mean that it's not happening It doesn't mean that we don't have a responsibility And we should care about it and that and that there's nothing that we can do and yet It's a little bit more effort for some of us here to get to the border to do that But but there's support on the ground for that along the Texas Arizona California border and there are people here who who really want to help who would either go or Would financially support maybe law students or other people to go and I've gotten calls from many people who just say I'm outraged at what's happening who I want to send some money to a group along the border And so I've I've channeled some of that to organizations I know who are doing really good at work there. It's a global travesty what's happening in it You know, I feel so strongly about it You know the words on the Statue of Liberty the Emma Lazarus. Yes. Yeah, we've come a long way from those words You know, we've also seen changes in Policies Locally in different ways as well too were people who new immigrants or intending immigrants have been really impacted and that's primarily I've seen in the delays of adjudications of Visa processing overseas so family members are separated longer also the the the lengthy delays in local processing with With USCIS you United States citizenship and immigration services And that's the agency under the Department of Homeland Security that That adjudicates naturalization green cards especially and also Immigrant petitions so if if you're filing a petition for a family a close family member So where it used to be for example J Applying for a green card for a husband or wife here in the United States in Hawaii would take about three months Start to finish now. That's closer to 10 to 11 months Where naturalization used to be about three months now is closer to nine to 11 months as well and you're telling me that these these hearings and Sanctuary and you know the people coming across the border seeking sanctuary now these hearings and Kevin McClain He made a good statement on behalf of Trump on 60 minutes This weekend, you know He had us all believing that they come across That they are incarcerated until they're court processed and then they go out into the into the community without any real control And they got to come back for a hearing But what I didn't know is the results of these hearings are what mostly rejection anyway Yeah, I mean is it so you know that first of all the majority of people who are released either on their own Recognizance or under bonds and sometimes bonds. I have a client here who is Immigration customs enforcement is requiring a bond of twenty five thousand dollars. He's an asylum seeker Okay, twenty five thousand dollars for him to be able to continue fighting his case and Not live in the federal detention center by the airport. So people Homeland security is charging these very high bonds and the majority of people are showing up for their For their their hearings in immigration courts throughout the country But then but then there are some immigration judges and you can go to if you Google TRAC I think it's out of Syracuse University. They Keep track tabulate the approval and denial rates from immigration individual immigration judges across the country and Hawaii's rates are You can look at it and you can see that that they're they're fair There's some approvals some denials, but you can look at say out the El Paso court the Atlanta immigration court is notorious the lumpkin 90 plus percent Case of denial point. That's a charade. That's a kangaroo. It is a kangaroo court where we're real lives I mean people are being in some cases sent back to their deaths or they're continuing to fight these cases But they're an immigration detention long term and it's very difficult to fight a case when you're an immigration Detended and most of these people cannot afford attorneys. There are no eternity There are no attorney. They put these detention centers in very rural difficult to reach places get to them You can't get to them. They have the courts within the detention center and so it's There's there there aren't attorneys to do this kind of work And there's no public defender system or the immigration courts. It's not like a criminal court People are really on on their own and so again, you can you can look You know if you have a strong asylum case that case should be granted But if you present that case in front of a judge in El Paso Your chance is is more likely than then it's going to be denied What's what strikes me is it's mean it's pathological It's intended to place every obstacle possible and love the dice in every way for example He is using military lawyers. He's sort of Diverting military lawyers to serve as I guess immigration judges What's wrong with that picture? They know anything about immigration It's command-influenced. He's telling him what to do and they do it. It's kangaroo court yet again What an abuse of Lawyers in general if you will an immigration law is one of the most complicated areas of law And I'm not just saying that to say yay. I understand most of it But it but that's just people who practice different areas of law will say how Complicated and convoluted immigration laws so to think that you can give someone a short training and make them an immigration judge And that they're going to do something fair It's preposterous So much as preposterous and mean and then you know, but but the immigration judges are different You know, they're they're not like federal judges. They you know, they are under the Department of Justice, so the attorney general, you know was I remember him. Well, yeah Sessions and now what's the space right? Thank you bar you know, they Arguably kind of lackeys for the administration. So the immigration judges those are their bosses so they're under tremendous pressure to move cases through quickly and These are not quick simple cases most of them and so there's people's lives are at stake and so many of them absolutely and so do processed Violations so one thing that you mentioned here. You were reading from this press release It came from none other than the White House and it strikes me that we actually have a Homeland Security Department. We have bought a security sub department within that and so these these communications should be coming from the department in the government, which is you know Interested in the policy and enforcing the policy instead they're coming from him the Trump Right, so it really bothers me that we're getting all this hand me down about all these details that he's creating policy He's crowning his policy on this department every department and he is one mean bugger And so what we see here is the White House controlling everything despite what? Either Kevin McLean and says or anyone else right and just sowing chaos Yeah, right where you know, who knows who knew about this before it was it was handed down Everybody sure scrambling this morning And so again, you know, they've got us, you know kind of running running in circles and again, we've got you know tremendous Advocacy from the ECOU locally and nationally and other organizations that You had last week on your show Marielena From the National Immigration Law Center He penny a copy a copy a yes, I struggled with her last name. I think I've got it now But she was fabulous and again fierce fierce bright Thankfully well-funded. I think advocates all over the country who are You know thanks, you know the generosity of people who think that this is outrageous They want to help in some way so they're they're channeling their resources to these organizations that are fighting these battles and they're winning They are winning but it's you know, but it's just like, you know, there's so many other We have to do I know many of the things we have to do this brush fires everywhere And we're just trying to not get too far behind. Yeah Let's take a short break. I'm getting emotional That's Claire Hennis. She's an immigration attorney here in Hawaii day and it will come back and discuss the larger picture about this and You know the triangle in Central America will discuss what the government could do if it was right thinking that's a hypothetical We'll be right back Aloha, I'm Cynthia Sinclair. I'm Tim Appachella We're hosts here at Think Tech Hawaii a digital media company serving the people of Hawaii We provide a video platform for citizen journalists to raise public awareness Hawaii We're a Hawaii non-profit that depends on the generosity of its supporters to keep on going We'd be grateful if you go to think tech Hawaii comm make a donation to support us now Hey, loha, my name is Andrew Lanning. I'm the host of security matters Hawaii airing every Wednesday here on Think Tech Hawaii live from the studios I'll bring you guests. I'll bring you information About the things in security that matter to keeping you safe your co-workers safe your family safe keep our community safe We want to teach you about those things in our industry that you know may be a little outside of your experience So please join me because security matters. Aloha Okay, we're talking with Claire Hennis. It was a very busy lady as an immigration lawyer these days But busy busy doing the right thing so Trump has a history in immigration may affect his thinking here one is I think he's racist and that affects his thinking for sure Everybody south of the border is somebody on the wrong side of the scale for him white supremacy above all Uber Alice I think is a term But he has his own family history in immigration and not just his wife. Oh the irony is so thick it's just it yeah, right his so his his grandfather you know came from Germany and Established bars and brothers and made a fair bit of money Went back to Germany and got into trouble because he had Not gone into the draft in the years that he you know He was in the United States and so he he missed out in his military service like his And son Donald J right and so those first wasn't it? Yeah, right, right? and so his grandfather was actually Deported from Germany and this was it was published. I think in Harper's magazine this month his grandfather's letter to the government Basically begging to be able to stay with his mother in his home country. It's really Emotional they said uh-uh and they sent him back to the United States and then his legacy is We know right so um I mean and then and then of course his wife and well wives and their immigration histories Through marriage to him and then his wife bringing her parents, which it was a which is a A family-based immigration category that he would like to have cut off for everybody else So my wife was able to petition and bring her parents No, he doesn't know he doesn't want and then and Steve Miller, you know Who's the architect Trump isn't smart enough to be the architect of things like you know these But Steven Miller and and those other folks are and so Yeah, it's well you're talking before the show about how all these things, you know Sort of stain the United States and helping its global decline Morally and otherwise and and the question is whether we can you know fix it up somehow after he's gone Hopefully soon And that includes I say that to include the kind of Terrible trouble he's making for every visitor who comes here every visa every entry into the United States is Met with the similar Rejection kind of you know, don't send me your tired huddled masses don't send me anybody And so this is we're closing the gates. We're going isolationist And it is reflected in the immigration procedure not the law because he can't change the law Congress would never go along with him correct He'd never get it word one on that so he has to do it by by way of twisting You know the interpretation the regulations and violating the law for that matter and telling people they can have Bartons if they join him in the violation right, but but I would like to look look forward look to the end of him Whenever hopefully he ends soon And see how we can fix this up to make immigration law, right? What what do you think we should do about for example? You know the Triangle in Central America. What do you think about reform in general? What do we do? What do you think we do with it with Homeland Security and the Border Patrol? What do we do to make them? Oh Good American caring people well and and there are there are people in border patrol And there are some here in Customs and Border Protection who are good and caring people and not everyone who chooses that profession We have some really awesome ice officers great. So So they're not all you know Stone-hearted. Let's have a big problem under this administration. Yeah I think I think it's really hard for them And I think this this administration has definitely You know probably recruited a lot of people who Have also a very anti-immigrant sentiment and those are you know, so we hear you know lots of cases of violence perpetuated by Customs and Border Protection officials and Border Patrol along the border as far as As far as kind of looking forward and trying to undo some of the damage I think you know a goal really needs to be for not only for humanitarian purposes, but also kind of our own interests working to support Governments in you know from Mexico on down that respect human rights that are our Democratic governments and historically that is not what the United States has done the United States has propped up dictator after dictator because it served US business interests and now it's really the chickens are coming home diverse because those countries are in shambles People can't live there anymore and they're and they're escaping and also in climate change. It's an environmental issue As well as it is in Europe Absolutely, we have climate refugees coming from coming to Hawaii from the Pacific coming to the United States from From Central America too because these you know these crops are are drying up. There are these long droughts people can't Cannot feed their families and they will do what they need to do to get to a place where they where they can do that So, you know, that's a that's a long-term plan, but it needs to start here to start Yesterday, so we've got a lot of catch-up and kind of damage control to do in that area As far as international as far as immigration law, you know, we need to respect the international laws and treaties that we've signed to protect the rights of immigrants and refugees and we need to give people a fair hearing and And if they meet those the standards that have been set under international law They they need to be able to stay in the United States and and have refuge and if they don't then they need to go back and that's It's not complicated, but you know one of the things I mean, I know there are people in this country Maybe, you know his base that don't want anybody they want to close it all down That's that's their view of the 21st century close it all down and forget about, you know, American leadership Losing we're losing it now. I'm sorry to say so what do you say to them about the the need of the United States who have immigrants for labor or You know for moving ahead for the generations yet unborn for making this country may I say great again? In a different context, right, right? Well, I don't think there's any good economic arguments for closed borders I mean we're in a global in a global economy in a global society It's Polly to think that we can close ourselves off and that we can Have a robust economic system. I can't think of any economist who would who would make that argument Additionally I think people need to reflect back on their own immigrant histories and other than the few indigenous people that we have left in the United States everybody has a story and Most of those stories are not people who are coming because they had a lot of money and they just decided to kind of on a whim Fly over or travel first class to the United States and it was so great They decided to stay most of our immigrant histories have to do with people who were fleeing Severe hardship for different reasons and we're coming for a better life That's definitely the story of my great-grandparents It's a story of almost everybody's and people are just so I don't know how In such a short period of time People forget that or just or taught that we need to teach it to our children We need to teach our children that they did not You know that their entitlements are because of sacrifices that people made before them and not that long ago and Try to again, but yeah, how do you you know to to his face? How do you reach them? I don't know Jay I I'm not sure. I'm not sure if they're How reachable they are but we have to keep trying and we have to not close down the the walls of communication And when I meet someone who is a Trump supporter, I don't I don't turn the other way I try to I try to figure out What is it in them that made it that I mean? I am the way I am because of my parents because of my grandparents They are the way they are because of something that shaped them to get to that point and I'm really curious about About what that is. I don't know if I have a whole lot of hope for changing it But I think dialogue and keeping that dialogue open no matter how difficult it is and I might have bubbles over my head saying You know other choice words as I'm listening to them speak But I think it's important to just to engage to try to understand Okay, look it over the horizon. Yes, I'm reminded of I way ways movie called human flow Where he reports to us there are 65 million people now in camps around the world I'm growing all the time and their lives are really awful in those camps.   They're just behind Bob wire This is a stain on all of humanity that we let this happen But in the future the inexorable Low of humans is going to be reducing borders It's going to be one great big world where people are free to go where they want and we all are Responsible every nation as it exists is responsible for every other nation. We care We should be caring about our fellow human beings wherever they are and making making the world one sharing Planet, I know it's a long way in the future and it seems very long under this demonstration But I think that's inevitable to happen Given our transportation communication You know our ability to connect. Yeah, and we need it We need to bring human rights the the issues of human rights out from like the corner where it's been tucked away For the last well definitely under Trump and Obama due to some extent And and and bring that back out into the foreground and look at countries Look at countries like China countries that are look at countries like the Philippines and what are what are our individual? Responsibilities what can we do for our brothers and sisters who are victims of horrible human rights violations in those countries in in the Americas? in in Mexico In our own country, right? I mean, it's it's not it's not always just someplace else It's here, too and and work together to to revitalize groups like Amnesty International that are educating about international human rights and I'm trying to make people see that on a fundamental level If there is oppression that's done to you if there's an injustice done to you it affects me, too And we're all responsible for that and if we had seen that responsibility in the 30s We would have stopped Hitler and we should see it now We should we should go beyond just serving as counsel for immigrants We should we should do something every day to improve the human flow in the world one thing that Marilena Ecoppie said last week meeting a group of local business leaders is that now is not the time to remain on the sidelines to remain silent if there Was ever a time in in our recent history To to get up and take a stand it is now And and and people silence and people's Complicity is a big part of the problem It's a big part of why a person like Donald Trump feels that he can make these outrageous Policy initiatives every day that are causing real harm and real hardship to our sisters and brothers In a sense we're all immigration lawyers, aren't we? We all need to well we all need to be at we all need to be advocates or or immigrants for or Any any individual or group of people who is suffering right now? There have is one my favorite. Thank you generation lawyer are extraordinary. Thank you so much for coming down. You're my pleasure Aloha, Aloha immigration


What's up, y'all ready for the big game tomorrow? So, Pumps, you ready? I am, let me try my 10 real quick. All right. Let's go. Let's go. All right, all right, all right. Yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo. I even got cranium from the front desk, and. Guys, good morning. I even brought you coffee. Oh, hey, hey, hey, guys, guys, guys, stop, stop. Anything but the face paint.  The biggest day of the season right now. Awesome. All right, well, y'all have fun. Thank you. Thank you, officer.


Okay, so let's have a look at all the stuff we have covered. This is the original schedule. So we started with the introduction at the network basics. And as I discussed back then, a lot of the things we covered on HTTP, you probably understood much, much better after the rest lectures and especially after doing assignment three. So it might not be a bad idea to revisit that lecture and look at it with that fresh set of eyes. Now then we went into the front end part, HTML, CSS and JavaScript and you did assignment two on that, primarily assignment one on HTML and CSS. So they have some idea. Then we dove right into backend. So we did the theoretical lectures on rest and then the more practical stuff on Node.js and Express. And we ended with testing and debugging. So we started with client side testing and debugging and then now 20 and 21 we covered server side. In addition to all of this with its security, so we did lecture 18 authentication authorization at that lecture 19 on web security vulnerabilities and threats. So we have covered all of this. We are in schedule and we still have one buffer lecture where we can do either repetition or something else or just skip the entire lecture. Now lecture 14 was an introduction to server side JavaScript. We started with a bunch of advanced JavaScript concepts. So we went into the disk keyword into arrow functions and then went down into immediately invoked function expressions. So this is what we needed to get to the module pattern. So how to do modules that we can actually hide things. And I did this mainly because it's very common in, for example, Node.js to use modules, not necessarily because you have to write IFEs yourself. And similarly, the disk keyword and arrow function is something that you see very often in existing libraries. So I thought it was important to introduce this. IFEs and the module pattern are more on a theoretical level. So this is something that you might recognize again in other programming languages, even if it's not exactly the same, but it's for example, very common to do encapsulation for instance. Then the second part of this lecture was about Node. So how to execute programs in Node, importing, exporting Node modules, and then a little bit on the Node package manager, how to create new projects, install modules, install dependencies and run things. And finally, we did a very basic HTTP server that just answered to each request the same thing. And in the live lecture, I explained a bit around express.js, how to do this in a more structured way and a nicer way. That lecture 15 and 16 was on rest, and this is really purely a theoretical concept. It's something that you can definitely reuse even if the programming languages change because this has remained the same since the 90s. So it's a proven concept that is one of the reasons why the internet really works as it does. So this is, initially I did the layered architecture style, which is underlying rest, so how to separate a programmer system into multiple layers, like the front end, the back end and the database layer. And then I went into rest itself. So rest has these six constraints, client servers, datelessness, cacheability, layered system, uniform interface and codon demand, which is optional. And then the important stuff for us is mainly hidden in the uniform interface because a lot of the other things like client server and cacheability you get by using HTTP. So uniform interface is interesting when we design APIs, how to name things, how to structure the URLs and so on. I also introduced a number of guidelines for restful APIs. They are technically not part of the rest style, but they are often recommended when you write your own API as you did in assignment three. So that's, for example, the recommendation to use the HTTP method works for the create read write operations. That in lecture 17, we implemented restful APIs. So we looked into this to do application in Node.js and Express.js. So we just looked at a full example where we started off without any persistence. So we just saved our users our node in the memory. And then we also looked at how to do this if we would use a database and how to deploy this to the cloud, in the case of Heroku. But a lot of it in the beginning was about naming the different endpoints. And in the live lecture, I did the same but with chess applications. So something that is a bit different than this kind of regular reading and writing of different resources. In lecture 18, we went down into security. So we started off discussing attack surfaces. What kind of things can you attack? And then we had, for example, the network view, the application view. And we saw that there is, there are a lot of options for intruding somewhere. So it's quite important to make your application work well but even if someone reads requests, for example, essential information is not revealed. And as a part of that, we looked then into authentication authorization. And we did an example of HTTP basic auth and on hammock request signing. These things are all, we did some practical things, some practical side of it, but there is a lot of theoretical background behind that. So this is knowledge you can reuse even if the technology changes. In lecture 19, we went into security vulnerability. So all the issues that an application can have that you can attack them. We looked at the OWASP top 10, which is one of the common lists that lists sort of the most important, the most common threats, the vulnerabilities on the internet. And we looked at the ones that are underlined here. So the eight out of 10. Additionally, we took a very short look at cross-site request forgery. And then in the live lecture, I did hacking of juice shops. So I just showed you the different things you can do. These things are very important and they're also technology independent. So all of these attacks have been around for a very long time. And some of them might not be possible if you use certain technology, but it's generally important to know about them. And they only change slowly. So it's not very common that a new one comes up that hasn't been around for a long time. Lecture 20, we started with testing and debugging. So I showed you the linter static analysis of JavaScript code that you can use to enforce code styles, but also to flag potential errors. We looked at a debugger, how to debug node applications. Before that, we only used the browser for debugging. And of course, on the server side, we cannot do that. So we looked into that. And then we went down into unit testing of node applications, what kind of things to test for, what kind of things to assert, what kind of cases to look at, and then into actual unit testing. So replacing functions, other external dependencies with fake code with things that do exactly what we tell it to do. And this we concluded then in lecture 21. So we went from unit testing to endpoint testing, so testing our HTTP request responses. And this was really quite a practical thing because we primarily looked at the CHI HTTP module, different examples how to do this, and that in the live lecture, we did quite some practical tests on our to-do application for this. There were some general things, we discussed a bit, okay, what does it mean that a response is correct? What kind of things do we want to check for and so on? And finally, we looked into the distinction between white and black box testing so that in white box testing, you have to check the state of your application in black box testing. You just look at the input and output, you don't care what's going on inside. So, and those things are again, very general, very principle things. The technology side, the practical side of the lecture is something that of course changes over time. So, different technology, different language, you will use different libraries. So, that's what we covered in the lecture. There is only one reference that is exam relevant and that's in lecture 15, 16, the rest book. So, I would recommend you to read that. It will also, if you haven't done that yet, it will probably quite a bit improve your understanding of rest. I would also recommend you to go to the OWASP top 10 list that we showed in lecture 19. So, it was this PDF of all the different vulnerabilities because that's maybe the most condensed way of explaining what those things do. So, that's a recommendation. It's not mandatory to read that. That's completely up to you. Okay, the next lecture, 23, is mainly the final one. We look a bit at the exam. What is relevant for the exam? How to study for it? Some example questions, but that's it then. So, then there's only lecture 24 left, which is a buffer lecture. If you have any input on that, write on Piazza. But that's it for now. Thanks for listening.


So, hey guys, how you doing? It's Andy Elliott. So today I'm here with MJ. MJ is 20 years old. He's from Canada.  Now listen to me. He didn't always make a bunch of money, okay? I'm just gonna sum it up real quick and I'm gonna ask him some questions and hopefully this will help you guys where you're at if you're struggling. Listen, 90% of the sales people in the country are struggling right now selling cars. A lot of the time they're this far away from breaking through and crushing it. And the reason why I wanna do this interview with MJ is that he's had these same challenges and he pushed through and now he's going up. And MJ invested with me. And that is why he bought the course together. He bought a work track. Look, he's spent some time training at 20 years old. I wanna tell you this. If you're 30, if you're 40, if you're 50, if you're 60, all ages can do this. Am I right, MJ? Oh, absolutely. I mean, it's very easy to follow. You're just the person talking to a person on the screen. And if you can't understand from that, it's not gonna get any simpler than that. Yes, and listen, MJ, let's talk about it.  You jumped out of it. You got into a car dealership. You worked hard just like everybody and your management was very discouraging for you, right? A little bit. I mean, a little bit. I mean, it wouldn't be all of management for sure, but for sure there were some people that were making me kind of just wanna leave the car business. I thought it was actually me thinking that, oh, maybe I'm not ready for this business. Oh, maybe they're right. You know, I'm too young for this. I'm a Mr. Know-it-all. I think I know too much, but in reality I know nothing. But then at that point I was like, you know what, maybe it's the time to try a different dealership. I wanna try a different dealership. Was there a couple months? Same kind of idea. I just wasn't excited about selling anymore. Not just selling, I would say just the product and the environment, everything in general. You got discouraged. Very discouraged at the time. And then when I was given the opportunity to try the first store, I didn't ask any questions. I just moved. And over here, when I moved, I slowly started seeing things compounding. I started seeing all my work that I put in the year before slowly picking up. And I started, and I started on the use department. And I was just a second month in. They said, you know what, man, you're doing great here. We wanna move you into the new department. But then I did so well and use it like, you know what, actually we need a young guy like you in the use department. Just stay where you are, man. You're doing great things. And this is where I started getting happy. I started seeing, you know, started bringing back the real me. I had the excitement. I had the drive. I was like, you know what, my management loves me. This is the store I wanna stay at. There's no way I'm leaving this place. Okay, and let's say something real quick before we move to the next question. Sometimes, and Grant Cardone says this a lot, you may be in the wrong vehicle. I'm not stating that anyone struggling needs to say that it's their store. They need to look at themselves first. But it could be a possibility if no one in your store believes in you that you have to choose one or two roads.  Or two, you go find a different set of leaders at another store. Am I right? Absolutely. Leadership is key. I mean, at the end of the day, I've followed this ever since I was an entrepreneur. I've been an entrepreneurial person, at heart ever since I was 16 years old. And ever since then, I've always followed this rule that you are the product of the five closest people around you. And when the five closest people around you are bringing you down, they're all, you know, and I've learned some of this stuff in your course and I'm like, man, this is actually exactly what happens at a dealership where things are not going well, you know, the coffee drinkers, just grape diggers, right?  Now, moving to a different dealership where the environment's happy. Everyone's, you know, kind of like me, majority of my dealership is actually young guys. I can really resonate with a lot of people here. They're not much farther than me.  Just, you know, they call it, in this business, you gotta have thick skinned. And that's just what they're trying to do. They're just trying to play with you. So don't get discouraged from that if you're a young guy starting out in car sales. You just gotta fight through it and what you gotta show people is, you know what, I may be young, but I'm selling more cars than you. Yeah, but you gotta be a fighter, am I right? Absolutely. You know what I'm saying? It's not always easy. And you have to stay a loner. Would you agree? Is it lonely at the top? Oh yeah, should be lonely at the top. You know, you have to stay away from those haters. And matter of fact, you have to use that hate as fuel.  And that's why I, and that's exactly why I do what I do because I have so many naysayers, so many people saying you're gonna go nowhere in life.   Who's gonna marry you? All that kind of stuff. But that is literally the fuel that makes me go every day because car sales is endless opportunities where you can go in your life, man. That's right. You can be a salesman. Next year they're like, you know what, we wanna put you in finance department. Who knows? You might become a manager in no time. I know some people that became management in five months. Yeah, absolutely. This business is so good to those who take it serious. Would you agree? Absolutely. I mean, you got a treated like a career, man. If you're here just because you're thinking this is just another little gig for you to make money just part-time. This is a psychic.  You're not gonna make it. You're right. And so regardless of race, regardless of age, regardless of background, right? I mean, it doesn't matter. I don't think any of that matters. It doesn't matter. The fire and the belly, am I right? Absolutely. And you're in a business where you're talking to people every single day and all they want is someone who understands their pain, understands what they're going through. And you just gotta help them find them. You gotta be the solution maker. Yeah, problem, solve it, solve. Am I right? Yes, absolutely. You have to learn the skill along the way. And you've been investing in yourself.  Absolutely. Ever since 16 years old, I have splashed, I would say thousands and thousands of dollars in different courses. And I'm talking like literally any kind of course, Amazon business courses, Shopify business courses. And I'm talking literally ATM business courses. I put thousands of dollars, but you know what? All that money I spent wasn't money wasted. I learned so many more things and I know so much more than people that are my age. People my age, the majority, what they're doing on their weekends is partying. I don't go to parties. Yeah, you don't need to. You're gonna crush it. I can't wait to see you at 22, 25, 30 years old. But some advice for everybody, tell us this, through all of this grind that you've gone through in your 20, obviously you're still very young in life, but you've already tasted rejection. Hey, you're not gonna make it. And you've had to push through it all. Tell us how last month, how did the last month go in a nutshell? How'd you finish out? All right, so last month, so in my company, we have an event that's been hosted for the last 31 years where all our dealerships in the whole city, all our inventory goes down to one place. And now we have an indoor sale in basically a winter time, in a winter setting. And people wanna be inside warm areas. Minus 40, minus 45 sometimes out here. So yeah, so before last month, I will say I've had some good months, but I've also had months where I've made minimum wage. Sure. There's been months like that. There's gonna be months like that, man. Sometimes, like the thing is, a lot of sales guys are going like this, up, down, up, down, and then down. Because they're just discouraged. They think that there's no way they're gonna get out of their rut. But the thing is you gotta be the difference maker, man. So I was in a setting, I was the youngest guy there. I was going up against guys that have been 20, 30 years in this industry. Yeah. And I was like, you know what? What are these guys doing wrong? I looked around and I said, what are these guys doing that I can be doing? Majority of these guys are hiding in cars, waiting for that up to come down. What I did is I created a lot of my own traffic. I'm the person that was getting on Facebook, calling out friends, going on Snapchat, Instagram, all these things that are modern, and I was finding traffic. And the thing is, absolutely, like if you're not prospecting in this business, just people gotta remember this. This isn't a job. This is a business. This is your own business. That's beautiful.   Yeah. So having gone to that 12 grand month, you know, I have to, I'm working with you. My goal is, I wanna hit that 30 grand month. I wanna go further. But you're not gonna be able to do that unless you invest in yourself. I love it, dude. I think that's amazing. You have to invest. Well, and let's end on this note, and obviously the fact that I love sometimes taking a minute and just talking to someone that's pushed through the struggle, because on the other side, there's life. It hasn't always been good. And now that you've tasted what's good, you know that hard work and training is going to take you to the next level in life, right? Exactly, because if I don't work just as hard as I did last month, there's no way I'm getting the months like that. Or you could harder, but smarter too, am I right? Absolutely, because you could work 80 hours in a week and then still have a horrible month unless you're not working smart. That's right. And then what advice would you give to anybody too in Canada? How great is the market in Canada? It's all perception. Is the market great if you work hard and train yourself? You know what? It doesn't matter where you live. You're in the United States of America and your population is 350 million people. I'm in a population of 36 million in the whole country. Where I live, I have more population where you live. You're in Oklahoma, aren't you? Yeah. And what's that, 250,000? Yeah, there's not a bunch, yeah. I'm in 300,000. You've sold $70,000 worth of product in a month. Yeah, so there's no excuses. There's no excuses. Our economy, yes, all here, man. Our economy is not as good as yours. That's for sure. A dollar is like $1.37 or something right now. I'm not even sure. It's not the best. So in the U of S, you could buy a $2.99 course, but it cost you $400. Oh yeah, I was like, man, it's $2.99. I paid $400 for this course. And I was like, I better be using this. And I don't even care about that little dent, because I'm going to be paying as much money as I want to get to your seminars. And I'm definitely going to be at a seminar, because the value that I see in your content, there's not a lot of people out there doing this, what you're doing, providing sales training directly for car sales guys. A lot of the training I see on YouTube is from like very, well, very general. And from people that are like, you're 40. But I'm seeing some training from people that are like 65. And their ways are just old and very aggressive. That's a new customer. It's a new market. You're right. The thing I learned from your videos was actually how you can actually be nice to a customer and still earn their business. We've got a sensitive customer now in 2020. Yeah, if this is a very sensitive time. Yeah, you just got to be more skilled. That's it, right? Absolutely. And you can never not learn enough. I could be 90 years old and learn something new every day. Yeah, no, I'm going to, and I'm not saying it doesn't, you have to learn from everybody. I'm going to Cardone's 10X deal for three days in about 20 days. Me and my wife are flying out.  Exactly.    Yeah, I love it, man. Well, listen, dude, I want everybody to know that everybody's going to have a struggle. Everybody's going to have a downtime. You're going to have another bad month, but so will I. And it's what we do with those bad months. It's the way that we believe in ourselves, the way that we tell ourselves our lives are going to go, the story we continue to write every day about how our journey is. If it was easy, it wouldn't mean anything to us. This is a very hard job, but only the hard things are worth doing. It's also, it's way easier the more skilled you get, right? Absolutely. I cannot stress this enough where you just said, this is a very hard job. It's not easy. That's why you don't see a lot of young people in this industry because management is not ready to take them on. But if you as a young person are getting in this industry and you've got that opportunity, don't waste it. Don't waste the opportunity. You need to realize that there's something special about you that a manager saw and gave you that opportunity. So don't waste that. Yeah, pay it forward and never let anybody give the opportunity to say to that manager, that was a bad hire. You prove them all wrong.  People literally used to say just a month in, oh, I'm surprised you made a month here. Oh, I'm surprised you're here for five months. And it's gonna be the same thing again and again until they're gonna see you that I'm on top and they're not. Love it, man. Well, listen, dude, you're an unbelievable 20-year-old. You're amazing. And I'm glad everybody got a chance to meet MJ. And we'll look up in two or three years. We'll do another one and we'll just see what happens. Hell, he may be a GM down there in Canada crushing. Absolutely, man. Think big, dream big and do it. Awesome.


Hello and welcome to the session. In this session we will discuss the solution of exponential models using logarithms. Now we have an exponential model of type a b raised to the power c t which is equal to b where b is the base. Now b can be 10 it can be e or any number other than 10 or e. Now to solve this model using logarithms we can take either common logarithms or natural logarithms. Now when base is 10 or other than 10 we use common logarithms that when base is e it is always convenient to take natural logarithms. Now let us discuss an example. Now suppose the number of bacteria in a lab dish at any time t r's after an experiment is given by the function b of t is equal to 50 into 10 raised to the power 0.3 t. Now we want to find the time 3 when there will be 20,000 bacteria in the lab dish. Now this is an exponential model of form a b raised to the power c t which is equal to d where b is base. Now the given function is b of t is equal to 50 into 10 raised to the power 0.3 t. Now here you can see base b is 10 and we know that when base is 10 then we use common logarithms. So solving this exponential model using common logarithms we have b of t is equal to 50 into 10 raised to the power 0.3 t and we have to find the time t when there will be 20,000 bacteria in lab dish. So we are given b of t is equal to 20,000 and we have to find time t. Now let us put b of t that is 20,000 in the given model. So we have 20,000 is equal to 50 into 10 raised to the power 0.3 t. Now dividing both sides of this equation by 50 we have 20,000 upon 50 is equal to 50 upon 50 into 10 raised to the power 0.3 t. Now we know that 50 into 400 is 20,000. So this implies 400 is equal to 10 raised to the power 0.3 t. Now since the base is 10 so it is convenient to take common logarithms on both sides with base 10. So taking logarithms on both sides we get log 400 is equal to log 10 raised to the power 0.3 t. Now using the property of logarithm we know that log n raised to the power n is equal to n log n. So here we have log 400 is equal to, now here using this property we have 0.3 t log 10 that is log 10 raised to the power 0.3 t is equal to 0.3 t log 10. Also we know log 10 to the base 10 is equal to 1 or simply we can say log 10 is equal to 1. So this implies log 400 is equal to 0.3 t into log 10. Now log 10 is 1 so 0.3 t into 1 is equal to 0.3 t. Now using calculator we have log 400 is equal to 2.602. So this implies 2.602 is equal to 0.3 t Now dividing both sides by 0.3 we have 2.602 upon 0.3 is equal to 0.3 t upon 0.3. Now solving this implies 6.7 is equal to t. Thus in 8.67 hours the number of bacteria in the lab dish will be 20,000. Now let us discuss how can we use logarithms to solve exponential model when base is, now let us see one example. Now here it is given the atmospheric pressure p in pounds per square inch at x minus above c level is given approximately by p is equal to 14.7 into e raised to the power minus 0.2 where x. Now here we have to find height x when atmospheric pressure p is equal to 7.35. Now putting e is equal to 7.35 in the given model we have 7.35 is equal to 14.7 into e raised to the power minus 0.21x. Now dividing both sides by 14.7 this implies 7.35 upon 14.7 is equal to 14.7 upon 14.7 into e raised to the power minus 0.21x. Now solving this implies 0.5 is equal to raised to the power minus 0.21x. Now here base is e. So it is convenient to take natural logarithm on both sides of this equation. So we have natural log of 0.5 is equal to natural log of e raised to the power minus 0.21x. Now we know that natural log of e raised to the power is equal to a. So we have natural log of 0.5 is equal to now here natural log of e raised to the power minus 0.21x will be minus 0.21x. Now dividing both sides by minus 0.21 this implies natural log of 0.5 upon minus 0.21 is equal to minus 0.21 upon minus 0.21 into x. Now using scientific calculator we have natural log of 0.5 as minus 0.69314718 upon minus 0.21 is equal to x. Now simplifying this implies 3.3 is equal to x thus x is equal to 3.3 miles. So at high 3.3 miles the atmospheric pressure will be 7.35. Now let us consider another example when we have base other than 10 or e here. Suppose we have exponential model given by b of t is equal to 50 into 2 raised to power 0.3t. Now we want to find t when b of t is equal to 60,000. Now in this exponential model you can see base b is equal to 2. Now let us put b of t is equal to 60,000 in the given exponential model. So here we have 60,000 is equal to 50 into 2 raised to power 0.3t. Now dividing both sides by 50 we have 60,000 upon 50 is equal to 50 upon 50 into 2 raised to power 0.3t. Now solving we have 1200 is equal to 2 raised to power 0.3t. Now we take common logarithm on both sides of this equation and we have log 1200 is equal to log 2 raised to power 0.3t. Now using this property of logarithm we have log 1200 is equal to 0.3t into log 2. Now we write both sides of this equation by log 2. So here we have log 1200 upon log 2 is equal to 0.3t into log 2 upon log 2. This implies log 1200 upon log 2 is equal to 0.3t. Now using calculator we have got the values of log 1200 and log 2. So putting these values in this equation we have 3.079 upon 0.301 is equal to 0.3t. Now solving this implies 10.23 is equal to 0.3t. Now dividing both sides by 0.3 we have 10.23 upon 0.3 is equal to 0.3 upon 0.3 into t which further implies 34.1 is equal to t thus t is equal to 34.1 when v of t is equal to 60,000. So in this session we have discussed the solution of exponential models using logarithms and this completes our session. Hope you all have enjoyed the session.


Hey everybody, it's Billy with Comic-Con TV, where all geek things collide. This week I am not doing the review, my wife is going to do the review on the Ewoks and Chewbacca and the ATSD Walker, which all made their appearances in Return of the Jedi. So stay tuned. Hey guys, welcome back to Comic-Con TV, where all geek culture collides if you're new to the channel. Don't forget to hit that subscribe button so you don't miss out on future videos. Hey guys, this is Ashley. So today we're going to start out with the Walmart Exclusive 40th Anniversary 3-Pack. First we have Tebow. He's very cool. The detail on these guys are just absolutely amazing. You can see their little costumes they have on their heads. What would you call those? Their headdresses. From their heels. They're just really cool guys. Like their colors and their details on them are just amazing. I'm not a big Star Wars fan, but these guys are awesome. Next we have Chief Chirpa. Sorry if I said that wrong guys. He's got a really cute little outfit on and I really like the headdress that he's got on. It's really cool. And then we have Logray. Logray. Logray, sorry. And I really like this one.  That's just really cool and the little feathers. They're very detailed. I don't know if you can see here. Try to get closer. The feathers in them are very, very detailed and it's very, very cool. It's like with each one, it's like he's the hunter, he's the leader and he is the witch doctor. Very cool three pack set guys, seriously. Okay, next we're going to show you my favorite, Billy's favorite, our son's favorite, just about everybody's favorite. This is Wicked. He was in the original line of Star Wars. Yes, he's a blue box, which is the the unvaulted original line that came out with Star Wars. And then when they brought them back out, they were in the black boxes. He's a little bit harder to find though, right? Yeah, show them the box so you can see what they're made of. Let me just take a look guys. There's the box. There we go. There's the box. He's a really cool. He's got a lot of detail on his body. See his fingernails are yellow now, like his weapon. He's a really major bobblehead on this one. I don't like his headdress. It fits him really good and he's just a really cool little guy.  And just to show the difference is like this is the one, this is the original box that they came in, the original lines. Sorry guys. And this is the, when they came back out after they came out of the vault, it's the black, the black border instead of the blue border. That's, a lot of people throw them off because I think they see like, oh whoa, it's the Star Wars number 10. They don't look at the border to see that it was bolted before. And finally here we have Chewbacca with the ATST Walker. He was a harder find. We were lucky to find him here. He is so cool. He's actually really big. It's very detailed. I really like it a lot. Shaking his head like crazy. You can see the good details on the back there. They done really good with this one. And it's, again, we say cool a lot, but seriously guys, these are, these are really, really cool. I like the base plate that they did with them. So it's actually on indoor, which is really cool because this is, when he made his debut in this thing and returned to Jedi and he was in there with Wicked, it was just hilarious. Now we just need to put the little, little guys around him making them look like he's looking for him. And create a little scene for you guys for a second. Chewbacca lead the way. There's our awesome Star Wars Chewbacca and Wicked sets and hope you enjoyed the show. So if you liked this one, you would have Ashley on the show more with me. Hit the like button, make comments, tell below, subscribe and stay tuned for next week. Have fun with you guys. Stay cool.


This video is going to talk about using substitution to solve systems. In substitution, we want to have one equation that is either y equals something or x equals something. So on one side of the equation, you only have one variable with the coefficient of one. We can then substitute that variable into the other equation. In this first example, we see that x is equal to 2. And remember that a solution to a system, the x has to be the same for both equation as well as the y. It has to satisfy both equations. So if x equals 2 satisfies this equation, that means in the bottom, x equals 2 also satisfies. So I can replace the x with my 2 and then finish out the problem and solve for y. When I use substitution, now I get a one variable equation that I know how to solve. And in fact, 2 plus 5 is going to be 7. And now I know that I have the ordered pair 2 for x and 7 for y. Sometimes you have a y equation like the second example. So when I look at the system and I say that again y is negative 3 for both of them, then I can replace the y in the top equation with the negative 3. So I rewrite my problem x minus and then I have my negative 3. And then that's going to be equal to 10. While solving the equation, x plus 3 will equal 10. And if I subtract 3 from both sides, then I find out that x is equal to 7. And I know the ordered pair x equals 7 and y is negative 3 would be the ordered pair that satisfies the system. In this equation, we have a y equal equation, but it's not equal to a number. It's equal to an expression. But just like we did when we had a number in there, we're going to take our expression and replace it with y. So I have my 4x minus 5, but then I have to replace y with 1 minus 2x. And that's going to be equal to 23. So I have 4x, but remember now here we have to distribute negative 5 into both of these things. So I have negative 5 and negative 5 times negative 2x will be plus 10x and that'll be equal to my 23. So if I combine like terms, I have my 4x and my 10x will give me 14x minus 5 on the left-hand side equal to 23. And I can add my 5 to both sides. So now I have 14x equal to 28. And if I divide by 14, I find out that x is equal to 2. Now I'm not done because remember it's an ordered pair and this wasn't a y equal sum number. It was a y equal expression. But I know what x is, so I'm going to substitute my x back into my y equal 1 minus 2x equation. So y, that's what I'm solving for, minus 1 times equal 1 minus 2 times my x, which is 2. And that says then that y is equal to 1 minus 4 or negative 3. And so the ordered pair is x is 2, y is negative 3. Alright, now what do we do? Now we don't have a y equal or an x equal equation, but I have a y that has a coefficient of 1 on it. So we're going to have to solve for that y before I can even start substituting. So we take and subtract the 5x from both sides. So on the left-hand side we're left with negative y and then we have our 10 minus 5x. And now we have to divide everything by negative 1 so that we have a positive y. So y is going to be equal to negative 10 and a negative times a negative is a plus 5x. I'm going to substitute negative 10 plus 5x into this y right here. Rewriting that equation then, 3x plus 4. And then I have my y that I just found to be negative 10 plus 5x. And that's going to be equal to 6, finishing out the equation. So 3x, but remember now I have to distribute 4 into both of these things. So minus 40 and plus 20x and that'll be equal to my 6. Combining like terms I have 23x minus 40. There's my 3 and my 20. Equal to 6, add 40 to both sides and 23x is going to be equal to 46. And if we divide by 23, x will be, that's a 3, x will be 2. So I have x, but I don't have y. I need to plug that back into this x right here. So y is equal to negative 10 plus 5 times my x that I just found. And that gives me y equal negative 10 plus 10, so y equal 0. And the ordered pair is 2 for the x and 0 for the y. There's a couple of special cases. What happens when we have those either parallel lines which have no solution or one line which has infinite solutions? What does that look like when we do substitution? Well, we need to solve one of these equations for x or for y and it doesn't look like any of them are going to be really, really nice. But let's solve for x. And I want to solve for x in this bottom equation only because it's smaller numbers. And part of the reason I'm solving for x is because it's a positive number. So if I solve for x in this equation, then I'm going to add the 3y to both sides. So 2x is going to be equal to negative 2 plus 3y. And then I have to divide by 2 and we couldn't avoid fractions, could we? x is equal to negative 2 over 2 is negative 1 plus, and go ahead, you might prefer to put 1.5y in here since that's a little bit easier to substitute. Here's what I'm going to substitute. And I'm not going to have, I have to put it into the other equation so I'm going to plug it in for this x. So let's rewrite our equation. 8, but now I'm going to replace my x and then minus 12y is equal to negative 8. And if I put my x in here now, it's negative 1 plus 1.5y. Distributing, I'm going to have negative 8 plus 12y minus 12y equal to negative 8. Well, these are opposites of each other and my like terms are opposites of each other so they cancel each other out and I'm just left with negative 8 equal negative 8. Well, I don't have any variables, but we've done this, we've looked at these kinds of things before. If I have a negative 8 equal to a negative 8, that's a true statement. And if it's a true statement, it means it's always true. And if it's always true, it must mean that I have the same line or infinite solutions if you would rather write it that way. That's the case number two. This one will be a little bit easier because we've got a y here that we can solve for very easily. I'm going to subtract 4x from both sides so that top equation becomes y equal 3 minus 4x. So I've got my 3 minus 4x and I'm going to plug it in for y and the y of the other equation. So when I rewrite that problem, I have 8x is equal to 12 minus 2 and then I'm not going to write y, I'm going to write 3 minus 4x. So working through the problem, 8x is equal to 12 and then I'm going to distribute my negative 2 inside everything here. So negative 6 plus 8x. And if I combine my light terms, I have 8x on the left-hand side equal to 6 plus 8x. And if I subtract my 8x from both sides, I get 0 on this side because they cancels each other out which is false. And a false statement means that we can have no solution. If we were to graph those, they would be a set of parallel lines.


Well, I talked to Mr. Hazlett this morning, and he was sorry he couldn't be here. I think he really is rather overwhelmed that he's being recognized. He feels sort of out of it now, although he's still writing. I don't think he could live without a typewriter. And he's been writing since he was 20. So that means 72 years. Most of you probably know who he is, Henry Hazlett, author of a dozen books. His most popular and the most widely read, I'm sure, is economics in one lesson. He's really the grand old man of free market journalism. He's been interviewed many times. And I hope I can say something. Most of the interviews repeat more or less the same thing. People ask him the same questions about how he got started writing and what he's written and what he thinks about the monetary situation and so forth and so on. But I hope I can tell you a few little personal things that you may not know about. When Mr. Hazlett and his wife sold their home in Wilton, Connecticut, his papers and his books came to the Foundation for Economic Education where I work. So I had a chance to read some of the things that most people don't know about. When he was 17, 18, 19, 20 years old, he wrote at the end of each year a summing up of what he had accomplished during the year. Now, Henry Hazlett was not privileged to have a college education. He started in college, but his stepfather died and he had to leave school in order to help support his widowed mother. In those days, there were no minimum wage laws, there were no regulations about hiring people or firing people. And so if he took a job and for some reason or other it didn't pan out or he didn't like it or they didn't like him in a week or two, he quit or they fired him and he went on to another job. No problem, no big deal. And he hopped from job to job. He was earning as a stock clerk and various manual labor that he was doing. He was earning the magnificent sum of $7 a week. Then he heard that secretaries made $10 or $12. So he started studying shorthand and typing. We have at the foundation one of his old shorthand books and he did learn shorthand and he did finally get a job with the Wall Street Journal as secretary to the managing editor. But he was a man who wanted to know and didn't have a chance to go to college. So he outlined a course of reading for himself to follow and he started reading widely. Economic philosophy, psychology, ethics, mathematics and he wrote, he just read everything he could get. In the course of his browsing in the library, he was sort of turned off by the traditional economic textbooks of those days. But in the course of browsing in the libraries, he ran across Philip Wicksteed's common sense of economics. And this was in the terminology that we use today in Austrian economists. He based his theory on the marginal utility and subjective theory of value. And this sort of set him going. And from that time on, he began to concentrate on economics. He felt he'd had enough of fritting away his time with reading in one field after another. So as he wrote in 1914, when he was just 20 years old, he felt I had daily more and more realized the need of specialization if I am to write or think anything of real value to the world. And incidentally of extrinsic benefit to me, I've decided that my specialty for the present shall be economics. I fear my intellectual progress this year and when he was 19 to 20, has not been so marked as in the past two previous years. I could hardly expect it to be. Had my progress continued at the same rate, I would in a very few years, have evolved into a genius of the first water. And by the time old age were reached, I would have developed a brain like Aristotle's. Well, when Haslitt was at the Wall Street Journal, they had little short items and people could submit them. And he did, I guess, quite a number. They were called by the ways. And he got the princely, if they used them, he got paid 75 cents an item. But by contributing these little things, which he had a gift for, as you said, he could write. And he worked at it all these years. He was soon earning from these little quips, these little quotes, these little by the ways, close to his weekly salary. During World War I, the salaries were all cut in this country because for the patriotic reasons, I suppose, maybe taxes, I don't know what. But anyway, during World War I, he joined, I don't know whether it was the Air Corps or the Air Force at the time anyway. He went to Princeton ground school and then spent most of the war years flying around Texas. He never got overseas. When he was only about 20, he started writing a book which was published, Thinking as a Science. And it has recently been reprinted. But I might mention this also, this story. He was still at the Wall Street Journal when the war started. And the day the war started in Europe, the journal offices were in confusion. They all had a lot of extra work. There was chaos and they all worked over time. And that evening, as he walked home from work with this thought of this new war that was in the minds of everybody at the journal at least, he heard the news boys hawking papers. Extra, extra, the giants win. Well, that's enough about his early years, I guess. But he spent most of his life at the typewriter. Writing, writing, writing. He wrote for the Wall Street Journal, as I mentioned. And although he was really a secretary at that time. He's written as a journalist. He wrote for the New York Evening Post, Mechanics and Metals National Bank which he wrote a monthly newsletter, Economics Ideas. He was a financial editor of the New York Evening Mail. He was an editorial writer on the New York Herald. That was before the Herald Tribune which is now defunded. He was an editor and a writer of The Sun. He was a literary editor of The Nation. That's your magazine, paper. He was, oh, he also had a personal association with Menken who's being honored here tonight because it was Menken who was then editing the American Mercury that was responsible for Haslitz coming there as editor. Then he wrote for the New York Times until they finally got disgusted with his stand on Bretton Woods, the financial situation. Then he wrote for Newsweek for many years and he's written, of course, for the Freeman where I work and he was one of the founding trustees. His books are at least a dozen. He always says I see in the literature 12 plus books and I think baby that plus is one that he wasn't proud of. But he wrote thinking as a science first which came out in 1916 when he was only 22. Madame Eocriticism, a new constitution now and then economics in one lesson in 1946. That was his first book really on economics. And Will Dollar Saved the World which was condensed in The Reader's Digest. When the economics in one lesson came out there were the Harper was the publisher and they were planning a print run of 3,000 copies. The Reader's Digest at that time decided to print a couple of chapters from economics in one lesson and Haslitz said don't you think you'd better increase the print run? They didn't. The book came out, Reader's Digest articles came out and the book was on the bestseller list the first week, number eight. The second week it was number three on the list and then it was off, no more copies in the stores. But it's still selling, thousands every year. I, one time I saw the figures I was telling you 10,000 a year by the foundation alone. I don't know whether that's still true. Does Brian know? I don't know where he is. Do you know Brian how many we sell? Not that, you know, yeah. Then he wrote a novel which is more an economics book than a novel, but it's really very good economics. The Free Man's Library and then I would say two substantial books, The Failure of the New Economics about Keynes and the Foundations of Morality. Also what you should know about inflation, Man Vs the Welfare State, The Conquest of Poverty, The Inflation Crisis and from Bretton Woods to World Inflation. Now Haslitz was not just a journalist. He was, he made himself an economist through his reading, through his study and also through his friends and associations. I don't know whether, he also contributed to the success of Professor Ludwig von Mises in this country by reviewing his socialism in New York times when it first came out in English. And he also contributed to the excess of a Nobel Prize winner, F.A. Hayek, when he reviewed Road to Serfdom for the New York Times. He hadn't expected that book to be reviewed in the, except in the back pages of the book review section, but when he wrote in the review that it was quote, this is F.A. Hayek's Road to Serfdom. The most important exposition of liberty since John Stuart Mill, the editors of the book review magazine put it on the first page and it really did help Hayek. There's no doubt about that. Well, Haslitz said at his 70th birthday party that the best selling book he had, except for economics in one lesson, was that first book he wrote in 1916, Thinking as a Science, which reminded him of the advice of one editor, Arthur Brisbane, who said to a friend of Haslitz, be careful, don't ever get too deep, stay superficial. At Haslitz's 70th birthday party, he said we, freedom advocates of freedom, philosophy of freedom, are in a minority. And if a minority is to succeed, it has to be better at what it's doing than the majority. And the problem is that we liberals in the real freedom sense of the word just haven't been good enough. And the problem is we haven't won the war, but then again we haven't lost it either. I might say that Haslitz estimated at his 70th birthday that he had been writing daily for 50 years, 12 books, 10,000 editorials, articles, columns, 10 million words in print, which he figured equal to about 150 average length books. And I don't know what he's doing now, but he's still writing. He told me this morning he just written me a letter now. Don't expect that's gonna be published. But I'll tell you another thing. I did just read yesterday in the day before a script that's being done by knowledge products about Haslitz economics and well lesson. Do you know those audio tapes? They're really very good. And this is a script about Haslitz that's going to be discussing his book, his ideas, his life, and so forth and so on. Well, I'm sorry Haslitz couldn't be here today, but he's in Fairfield, Connecticut. And that's a long ways, two hours at least by car. And to drive down here, I would have picked him up.  So he just didn't feel up to it and he's sorry. Thank you.


Hello and welcome to the session. In this session we are going to discuss the following question and the question says that find the value of x such that the line through A with coordinates 5, 4, minus 2 and B with coordinates 3, x, minus 6 is parallel to line through C with coordinates minus 2, 8, minus 3 and B with coordinates 2, 2, 5. We know that two lines are parallel if A1 upon A2 is equal to B1 upon B2 is equal to C1 upon C2 where A1, B1, C1 and A2, B2, C2 are the direction ratios of the two lines. With this key idea let us proceed with the solution. Here we need to find the value of x such that line AB is parallel to line 3D. So first of all we shall find direction ratios of line AB and CD. Here coordinates of AR 5, 4, minus 2 and coordinates of BR 3, x, minus 6 and we know that direction ratios of any line say PQ is given by x2 minus x1, y2 minus y1, z2 minus z1 where x1, y1, z1 and x2, y2, z2 are the coordinates of point P and Q respectively. Therefore direction ratios of line AB are given by x2 minus x1 that is 3 minus 5, y2 minus y1 that is x minus 4 and z2 minus z1 that is minus 6 minus of minus 2 which is equal to minus 2 x minus 4 minus 4. Also coordinates of point CR minus 2, 8, minus 3 and coordinates of point DR 2, 2, 5. Therefore direction ratios of line CD are given by x2 minus x1 that is 2 minus of minus 2, y2 minus y1 that is 2 minus 8, z2 minus z1 that is 5 minus of minus 3 which is equal to 4 minus 6, 8. Now here we have the value of a1, b1 and c1 given by a1 is equal to minus 2, b1 is equal to x minus 4, c1 is equal to minus 4 and value of a2, b2, c2 given by a2 is equal to 4, b2 is equal to minus 6 and c2 is equal to 8. Also we have line AB is parallel to line CD and from the key idea we know that if two lines are parallel then a1 upon a2 is equal to c1 upon c2 where a1, b1, c1 and a2, b2, c2 are the direction ratios of the two lines. Since AB is parallel to CD we have a1 upon a2 that is minus 2 upon 4 is equal to b1 upon c2 that is x minus 4 upon minus 6 is equal to c1 upon c2 that is minus 4 upon 8. Now to solve for the value of x we can either take first and second expression or second and third expression. Therefore taking second and third expression we get x minus 4 upon minus 6 is equal to minus 4 upon 8 which implies that x minus 4 upon minus 6 is equal to minus 1 upon 2 which implies that x minus 4 is equal to minus of minus 6 upon 2 which further implies that x minus 4 is equal to 3 which gives the value of x equal to 7. Therefore for x is equal to 7 the lines AB and CD will be parallel which is our final answer. This completes our session. Hope you enjoyed this session.
