10 Things To Do Before Becoming An Entrepreneur An entrepreneur tends to bite off a little more than he can chew, hoping he'll quickly learn how to chew it, says Roy Ash, co-founder and president of the American company Lytton Industries. Starting or building a business is like planting a flower. It requires you to invest your time and money. Also, you must take care of it while expecting nothing in return, at least for the first couple of months. However, when your startup blossoms, it makes all the patience and hard work worthwhile. Little wonder, Jessica Herron, founder and CEO of Stellar and Dot, said, you'll have to see failure as the beginning and the middle, but never entertain it as an end. Have you ever wondered why a good number of startups fail and eventually cease to exist after only a few years have been launched? Well, one of the main reasons is the lack of expert startup advice founders received. In this video, I'll share with you 10 things you must do before becoming an entrepreneur. If you're new here, consider subscribing so you won't miss other exciting videos like this. Number 1. Identify Your Mission Before you commence the execution of all the great ideas in your head, you need to identify your mission to execute correctly. Identifying your mission is a fantastic motivator, and it draws you to your goals than you pushing yourself towards it. Amber Hurdle said, your mission statement outlined why your company exists. It doesn't have to be all fancy pants, just a clear statement of what you do. So identifying your mission means stating in clear terms what your company intends to do, the services you aim to provide. Number 2.  Don't start your business with the presumption that you'll get funding right out of the gate. Note that it is a bad idea to think that once you start running your business, it'll generate enough money for the successful running of the company. Remember Jessica Herron's advice? You'll have to see failure as the beginning and the middle but never entertain it as an end. Of course, you can try pitching your ideas to a few investors who might be interested. However, you can't entirely rely on the possibility of being picked or not, hence the need to save a lot so that you can fund your business. Number 3. Learn How To Sell Sales are about an essential thing in business. After all, we all go into one form of business or the other because we want to make some money. Hence, you'll have to learn how to sell and market your product. You need to be able to communicate clearly, add effectively to your customers, investors or whoever you are dealing with. You can read books, attend conferences and seminars, seek advice from mentors and other successful entrepreneurs on some of the best marketing methods and strategies to make a business thrive. Number 4. Network And Build Great Relationships Meredith Mahoney said, Know where you want to go and make sure the right people know about it. Robert Kiyosaki, an American businessman and author, said, The richest people in the world look for and build networks. Everyone else looks for work. Marinate on that for a minute. Networking with other people increases your chances of exposing your business to the right audience. For example, have you witnessed a situation where a friend calls you to say, Hey, can you remember a good content writer or the right food vendor and the like? So, whatever industry you're in and whatever phase you're at as an entrepreneur, everything to you should be about relationships. Number 5. Educate Yourself with Finance It would help if you learned how to manage your finance and separate your business account from your account. For instance, say you get one or two investors who are willing to invest in your business. A financial plan or document are a few of the requirements they'll need to determine if they want to go ahead or not. So, make sure you read up on how to effectively manage your finance. You equally might consider getting help from the mentor if you have one. Number 6. Learn How to Take Risk Taking the first step of becoming a businessman or businesswoman is a risk in itself. I mean, who likes the idea of leaving a job with a guarantee of a stable income for a venture that is built under the possibility of survival? I'm sure that doesn't sound like a fun thing to do. However, that is the first risk every entrepreneur should prepare his mind to take. As an entrepreneur, you'll need to not only face risks head on but actively embrace them. Sometimes it pays off and sometimes it doesn't. Number 7. Build Your Audience That you are doing the exact same business as your friend doesn't necessarily mean that your audience is the same. You have to build your audience. However, in building a brand, you should understand that you are a brand. So, whatever you post and do online is part of a parcel of your brand identity. To build your audience, you can start by publishing content that is near and dear to you and share it with people with similar interests. The essence of doing this is to build a following that will be receptive to the products and services you'll be offering when you become an entrepreneur. Number 8. Learn How To Research Life is all about growing, so is business. You need to keep improving your product, your marketing strategy and everything else involved in your business if you want to remain relevant in your industry. This means that you have to keep researching from time to time about what's new and trendy. Number 9. Discover Your Strengths and Weaknesses Discover your strength as far as your business and content strategies are concerned. Think back on the last time you were complimented or praised on a specific skill you possessed or something you did that got you noticed. Once you have discovered this, leverage on it and make it world-class. Number 10. Learn More About Your Industry and Others Now that you have everything figured out, research as much as possible about your industry such as finding out the top individuals in your industry, the changing trends and every other thing there is to know. Take time to study the things that are working and the things that aren't. This information will help you position your business in the right place. Once you have these 10 things figured out, then you are ready to start your own business and begin your journey to entrepreneurship. Thank you very much for watching our videos.

Journalists and other media practitioners across the three Quarra state-owned media houses, Herald newspaper Radio Quarra and Quarra state television, have embarked on a two-day warning strike to press home their age-long demand, bordering on better working environment, unpaid allowances, and the need to be recognized and treated as essential workers. The angry workers who were led by the chairman, Niger, union of journalist Suleiman Gobiur and his counterpart, Abdul Hamid Alaei, in the early hours of Tuesday, barricaded the major entrance into the media houses, insisting they could no longer bear the hardship in line of their duties calling on the state governor Abdul Rahman Abdul Razak to address the issues raised. We have been trying in certain areas, but what we are saying affects us as professionals because when you are happy doing what you are doing, you have what we call job satisfaction. When you are doing something and you are not happy about it, an environment is not conducive. The facilities we have have become absolute. Actually we have cities of agitation which are genuine, like the issue of our way in allowance, which has been long overdue, that has been paid by the currency government. The condition of our working equipment, the working environment is not conducive, it's not palatable. Reacting to the development, the general manager of the Radio Quarra, Kaya Day Aremu, maintained that the request of the workers is already receiving the needed attention despite being budgetary issues. For now, normal activities in the affected media organizations have been crumbled due to the industrial action.


Ah, Benny. This was an unfortunate loss for you, my friend. Ooh, that's a hot mug, guys. Hey guys, this is my review for Taxi Driver, episode 19 of Supernatural Season 8. And this one is a mixed bag. I like a lot of what happens in this episode, and I also don't like a lot what happens in this episode. There are some really cool cameo moments. There's some really cool story-structure moments. There's a pretty heartfelt moment.  And it makes sense because it is written by Eugene Ross Lemming and Brad Buckner. Sam has to try and do the second trial, and to do so he has to go into hell and raise a innocent spirit back up to heaven, being Bobby. But before that, we have Kevin Tran having nightmares and hearing Crowley speak to him.  It's just happening for the sake of happening. So it's never actually explained how on Earth Crowley is talking to Kevin, except possibly through his mom somehow, but that's not explained either. Somehow Palpatine returns. And it's even worse when Crowley is able to enter the ship. I know he's the king of hell, but what was the point of all the wardings and everything? And then oh yeah, Kevin Tran's mom's dead. I don't know if they couldn't get the actress back for this episode or what not, but it's kind of a really bad throwaway death. And it's not the only one. They find out that there's actually been coyotes apparently that have been getting demons out of hell this whole time. It kind of makes it seem a little bit silly because we always had the idea that they were literally crawling and fighting their way out of hell. And so this idea of a coyote, I mean that's not the worst, but it's also kind of like at the same time Sam has to go alone though. He goes with the coyote guy by himself, which then takes him to purgatory, then tells him you got to go this certain path to get into this tiny little rock into hell. Crowley knows what's up because he's got people who apparently Sam and Dean are just not at all casual about talking about a very specific, very, very sensitive subject matter. Like we'll just talk about it out loud like it's a normal everyday conversation. They're evil to relay that to Crowley. Crowley kills the coyote, so when Bobby and Sam are getting out of hell, they get into purgatory, they're trapped, but there is one person who can help them. And it's the guy that we have kind of left off to the side this whole time. Benny, just how his character is gone, it makes sense that this is how his character ends. However, it is so slapped in. It feels insulting. However, and I'm speculating here because I am hearing it from people who have worked with him, I have heard that the actor Ty Olson is not exactly the nicest guy to work with. He's a bit so that might have led to why his character got killed off. Maybe it starts off pretty good. When he and Dean meet, you can see Dean is in pain asking this favor of his friend, the person who got him out. He's asking him to literally go back into the place that they fought tooth and nail to get out of. But Benny is of a sound mind to want to go and do it. I like the handshake beforehand.  And that's just Dean kind of coming full circle in terms of realizing that there can be some good in people. And that has been a bit throughout this whole season. It was even in the last episode as much as I hate that last episode. Benny meets up with Sam very conveniently. Hey, there's vampires. I'm gonna go fight him.  That's it. And the last shot is just felt so throwaway.  The best you could have done is have him facing off and killing those three vampires.   Have him kill those vampires and maybe look up at the hill and be like, maybe he thinks about it, but then he turns around and then there's 20 more of them. And he's like, nah, this is where I belong. That would have been so much better than what we got.  Like he would have thought there maybe could have done a few more like cameo or like a who kind of what who else is down here sort of ideas. But when he goes to find Bobby and Bobby punches him because like I've seen like 200 of you and Dean every day. And then as they're getting out, there's that one poet and demon pretends to be Sam and Bobby stabs one. And he's like, you knew it was me, right? That was good. I thought that part was funny. Sam and Bobby are able to get out of purgatory, they meet up with Dean, but then Crowley is there to stop Bobby from going up to heaven and Naomi appears and she helps them out by making Crowley go away. Bobby's able to go up to heaven, come back to the ship to find Kevin's gone. Like I said, this episode is a mixed bag. I like moments like when Benny is willing to go down back to purgatory. I like his conversation with Dean. I kind of like the idea of a little bit of a fetch quest to go in and try and find these secret ways in and out. The coyote thing being a little bit silly. I do like the idea of Kevin Tran being tormented by Crowley, but they don't really do a good job of explaining how. I did like Bobby coming back. This felt like an actual significant story, even though it kind of does, like I said, break the lore because you kind of got the opinion that he did go up to heaven when they let him go, but you didn't see where he went. So yes, it did work somewhat in that. But then as I said, the lore breaking with a couple of things with Kevin Tran and Crowley, that doesn't make any sense.  The fact that Benny is just kind of thrown away haphazardly, it very much screams a lemming episode. It screams it from the, from how everything is put together. It's not a negative episode, that's for sure, but it definitely is a very messy one. Kind of a disservice considering that two characters got killed in this one.  So in the end, my review for Taxi Driver is a 4 out of 7. Oh boy. But those are my thoughts about this episode. Let's see what you guys had to say. We've got an interesting variety with these ones. Taxi Driver is one of my favorite episodes of the season. Seeing Bobby come back and Sam and Purgatory gets pretty cool to see. And Benny's death, in my opinion, is pretty sad and Crowley is a great villain. Great episode. Taxi Driver to me, as best described, is a bittersweet experience. I love the peneptual trial involves rescuing an innocent soul from hell. It's a cool concept for the show to explore roared rogue reapers that are unfortunately never brought up again in the show. Absolutely. Very much a dab, kind of like idea. So like, yeah, Carver was guilty of it too. Most fans would tell you that it's a wrecking and ridiculous concept, seeing how difficult it is for Crowley and Castiel to find Purgatory. My reasoning is reapers can only be seen by the dead and when they want to be seen. Plus, it would never occur to them that the reapers to reap monsters to Purgatory. It also adds interesting lore that an angel blade can kill reapers.  It's good to see Bobby again seeing him kill fake Sam in the real Sam questioning. Yeah, that was pretty funny. Bobby upset with Sam not looking for Dean and Dean budding up of the vampire shows why things have drastically been different if Sam wasn't cut off from his support system at the end of season 7. This episode really hurt for me for Dean killing Benny. The one character who has always been loyal to Dean. It's understandable how alienated and lonely Benny feels seeing a how taboo being a monster is in the human dominant world. This is the lead scene in the episode where Benny reveals he ended up feeding on humans, but thank god that was omitted or it would have really tarnished Benny's character. Ooh, yeah, ooh, yeah, glad they cut that out. Sam realizing just how good Benny is made me hopeful that he would return in season 15 made it clear my feelings didn't matter about the idea. I love how the episode delves into Kevin's struggle, how much he's working to translate a demon tablet with Crowley plaguing him with brutal nightmares. Crowley kidnapping Kevin had me in real suspense and shows how Crowley is a big bad of the season. It did, but also at the same time was kind of like how did you how did you get in there? Plus the episode really utilized Naomi really well as a villain for the episode two of how manipulative she is. I know my commentary about this episode is long, but it lets a lot to unpack and it just shows how great of an episode it is in my opinion. Turns out using a kid as a tool instead of a person was a bad idea. Backfire, whoops, great job Dean and Sam for not saying more. Great to see Bobby again, kind of sad he isn't really ready to move on even from death, but hey, yeah, that's Bobby for you, absolutely. Even though it's good to see Bobby and the rogue reaper thing didn't make sense to me because wouldn't tests or a death have figured out how to put a stop to the situation. Poor Kevin, he truly has been through the ringer. I mean it was surprised and happy to see Benny one last time. It was sad and how a story came to an end at the moment he left Purgatory with Dean. He's only suffered heartbreak and loss and it makes sense that he would rather choose to stay in Purgatory. Love seeing Naomi confronting Crowley and helping Bobby. That's the only time I ever liked her. Nah, that's probably a resounding consensus from a lot of other people. Taxi driver is definitely one of my top 10 episodes of the season. I love seeing Bobby again. However, the only problem I have is the one with the reaper that takes Sam to Purgatory. It literally took Cass and Crowley a full season to open the damn door and again later in season 13 and 15 they all they had all of us trouble and yet the boys couldn't couldn't get just get a reaper to help them get from one end to the other. Anyways, I would rank this as a four out of five had they not introduced Cesta Reapers for the back door to Purgatory.  It's just like a very easy ploy to get through. Like it's a very easy work around to something that had been like you said long worked on. Martin, I'm gonna kind of skip yours here because this is essentially just a recap of what happened. This isn't really opinion. It's kind of I mean, it is a good synopsis. Taxi driver is one of my most hated episodes. Ah, here we go. Now we got some people with some negative on paper. I don't mind it, but it was at this point that I was actively questioning whether or not people making the show had watched the show previously because it goes against so much was built before all of season six was about finding the place no one could get to. But I guess no one spoke to a reaper or knew anything about what they what they do right. The idea of the second trial being free a soul from hell and delivered upon to heaven is a good idea except Sam physically goes there like with his body.     They should have done more with his character because he was pretty awesome. Don't get me wrong. I don't mind him going out the way he did because it was a sacrifice for Dean, but I still think his character could have been more. Absolutely. I've had a hard time with this season to rewatch a dislike a lot of the choices and apart from a handful of episodes, this season comes off as mid at best. I agree with you actually about like it might have been a little bit more because you would have thought that Sam would have been pretty traumatized to go back to the place that he was basically torn apart by Lucifer for God knows how long on popular opinion, but I didn't like this episode. I didn't hate it or it thought it was bad, but there are things that just kept me from enjoying it.  Yes, very much agree. I think they just forgot to move in there. Seriously, I know the writers are fixated on keeping the brothers together, but they couldn't have had Kevin in the bunker or not have him appear in any other episodes. It's not far fetched of an idea considering what they do next season. I get they needed Kevin to get captured, but couldn't the writers have done so without making the brothers look like jerks for not inviting Kevin to their cool secret Batcave? Next part is Bobby, who also is the main reason people like this episode. Yeah, I love seeing him again in his scenes fighting out of hell was epic, but the logic behind it made no sense. I'm just not talking about them rewriting the show's Reaper lore for this one episode and never bringing up again. I'm talking about Crowley having Bobby's soul and he never once used it as leverage on the brothers or used it to taunt the brothers. That is also a very good point. How does it make any sense? Does that not sound like Crowley to you, especially when you remember the psychological tactics he used in the second to last episode of the season? And then there's Benny where, yeah, like say, especially with how Clipshow goes, you would have thought that he would have been working towards that. And then there's Benny. While I was sad to see him go, I was okay with him being him going out on his own terms, but I want to have a problem with this Sam. Specifically, the fact that he never apologized to Dean are Benny about his behavior. Sam was wrong about Benny, but he doesn't apologize for it.  And he also had seen what I've been seen worrying about Sam post Amelia's second breakup, but shows no sign that he feels bad for making Dean cut ties with Benny or Benny's death. Hell, he throws Benny's friendship and Dean's face in the season finale. The whole thing just felt bit like had a bitter taste. So that's why I'm not a fan of this episode, but I get other why others like it, it's just wasn't free. Very much the same, very much the same opinion as you. I don't like this episode. There's a rogue Reaper and death is just not doing anything about it.  I find that hard to believe a cave with rushes of wind can be hidden. The Weeknd at Bobby's episode was pointless if Crowley could still force his soul into hell. Benny dying really, really was not a good move.  Sadly, he was killed offscreen in season 15. Yeah, they brought him back for that like one random dream thing, right? And then they never saw him again. Alright guys, that is it. We are now on to episode 20. Pac-Man fever is next. We've got Charlie coming back, which is great. Always like having Charlie around, hopefully. Hey, the guy from the good places in this episode. Oh, that's gonna be cool. Give me your guys thoughts about that episode in the comments and I'll read those off in the next review. It's getting close, guys. It's getting really close in terms of how the season's gonna turn out and compare some to the others. I guess we'll find out. Anyways, I hope you liked the video.

Hi, my name is Krishnendu Chatterjee. I just completed my kidney stone removal procedure from Manipal Hospital Airport. I was diagnosed with a kidney stone during the first week of April and I visited Manipal Hospital where I met Dr. Vashesh and I had to go through a three weeks medication initially and post which the surgery was done. I want to tell you that this entire procedure happened during the lockdown 1, 2 and 3 and currently we are in lockdown 4 and I am very happy to say that Manipal Hospital maintains the highest standards with regards to hygiene and safety required for patients like us to be confident. Right from the entry point where thermal scanners check your monitor your temperature to hand sanitization everything is done at the entry point itself and the same continues across the hospital where everyone has to wear masks compulsorily. Also there is physical distance maintained between the consulting doctors and the patient so as to ensure no transmission happens. While I was going through the surgery procedure as well Manipal Hospital ensured that there is only one attendant to ensure there are no unnecessary crowdings. No visitors are allowed while during the surgery procedure and I think that also brings in that confidence that things are hygiene and safety. Overall I think I am extremely satisfied today was my last day of my procedure. I am completely cured and I would like to thank Manipal Hospital Dr. Saurav Vashesh and Steve for taking such a good care of me.

It just has too many nutrients.  All right, guys. Welcome back to the channel. If you're new, my name is Bobby. Guys, today we're going to check out good for with their video, what a vegan bellerina, vegan bodybuilder and a vegan runner eat in a day. Wow, I can't wait for that nutritional advice. Let's have a look. Hi, everyone. My name is Nina and I'm going to be sharing what I eat in a day as a vegan ballet dancer. Honestly, this time I don't have anything to critique. Most ballet dancers already look enorexic. The vegan diet is perfect for that. I'm Allison Powell. I'm a vegan ultra runner and I'm going to show you everything I eat in one day with a long run. I'm Alex Schera. I'm here to share with you what I eat in a day as a vegan bodybuilder. What I eat honestly changes on a day to day basis, depending on my energy needs and activity level, which fluctuates a lot in ballet, especially if you're in a performing season or not. Although I like to stick to whole foods as much as possible when I can because I feel I dance my best and feel my best when I do. For breakfast, I made a simple oatmeal bowl topped with nuts and fruit. This is a classical vegan breakfast and most normies believe that this is healthy. They see fruits, they see nuts, oatmeal fantastic for you. The reality is, of course, she doesn't consume any protein for breakfast.  What is healthy about this? How is this a whole food? Where do you find this? Those fruits are manufactured. This is a seedless banana. Wild bananas have seeds and much less fruit flesh. With that, obviously, much less sugar. This is a sugar bowl. I'm beginning by bringing a pot of water to a boil. I'll add in my oats and let that cook for about 10 to 15 minutes. Oatmeal is one of my favorite breakfasts because it keeps me full for a long time. Exactly, it keeps you full. This is the only thing this breakfast will do. Is it nourishing? Do you feel nourished? Do you feel replenished? No, you simply feel full. The fiber bloats you. You're confusing a herding gut with being nourished. And helps keep my energy balance for an hour and a half to two hour ballet class. After the oats have finished cooking, I add them to a bowl and top with banana, raspberries, strawberries, almond butter, walnuts, and finish it off with some cinnamon. And I typically eat this if I finish my workout, just some strength and conditioning exercises in the morning. Of course she needs coffee. Which I'll just have some coffee with my favorite dairy-free creamer beforehand. And she believes she gets the energy from the oats. They're good to have when I don't have much time in between a class. Here I brought a macro bar and I made a small protein drink that I just shake up with some almond milk and my favorite vegan protein powder. So here you have it. The only thing that keeps her somewhat alive is protein powder in a shake and protein powder again in this bar. Plants have proteins too. What does that bring you if you can't even absorb it? Vegans have to rely on powders to extract some meaningful protein amounts of their plants. The human digestive tract cannot absorb protein out of plants. You're not a herbivore. Favorite vegan protein powder. Again. For breakfast I made peanut butter toast with blackberries. Before my run I usually eat half a banana, a spoonful of peanut butter so I have energy to get me started. How do you have energy? You have 10 grams of sugar, a bunch of plant oils yet again, and aflatoxins in the peanut butter. I'll bring a cell wind, which is already vegan and gluten-free and during fuel it's vegan gel. Now we are talking. This is where the energy comes from. You have isolated sugars in those gels.  When I get back to my run, I love to make a protein shake so I can get some powder, protein, and I'm usually pretty tired so I'll just mix that up in some water and drink it right away. On my long run days like today, I'll be going about 15 miles. So I'm pretty hungry when I get back and this is human torture. My typical breakfast is at least three slices of toast with lots and lots of peanut butter. Yeah, awesome breakfast. As I said, peanut butter, high in aflatoxins, and here you have the vegan's favorite, bread. Some vegans even believe it's meat. This is actually epic.  Calories, extra protein, extra fat. It's really filling and delicious. And I love topping it off with fresh berries. Now it's healthy. A few ingredients in this great way to add some sweetness to your morning. And I totally love it. They need more sweetness. Love it. So for breakfast, I had avocado toast in a protein smoothie. I actually have the same thing post-workout as well. I tend to eat my food in the morning. Okay. I'm not against supplements. Supplements should be here to supplement a healthy human diet. That's why they're called supplements. In this case, however, vegans cannot absorb protein out of plants. This is why they have to excessively drink protein shakes. You heard the guy. He's drinking two protein shakes, one for breakfast, one after his workout. He cannot get any meaningful amount of protein from plants.  It's kind of taper off for the rest of the day. Always some chia seeds. Chia seeds are great. Yeah. I put a vegan protein powder, some oats. So next, we're going to bake the bread for the avocado toast. I like to use Ezekiel bread or anything. Ezekiel bread is better. Granted. I think that whole wheat has so many benefits to it. Just smash that up. How? Which benefits? Tell us. Work. As nobody knows. Raw pumpkin seeds. Nobody can't. And there you go. Nice and nutritious breakfast. For lunch. Nice and nutritious breakfast. You ate a bunch of seeds in form of bread. You topped that up with plant oils in form of avocado. You had a protein shake to have some protein synthesis going there. How is this healthy? How is this nutritious? There you go. Nice and nutritious breakfast. For lunch, I'm going to be making a miso maple harvest bowl.  Wow. Then I'm adding in some chopped carrots and giving that a stir. Then I add in some red onions and make sure everything is evenly coated. Then I transfer the vegetables to a baking pan to roast at 425 degrees for 20 to 30 minutes. Now I'm going to be preparing the miso maple tahini dressing. To a bowl, I'm adding some tahini. You see this often in Israeli vegan restaurants. When I was a vegan, especially in Copangan in Thailand, many Israeli vegan restaurants and they use the tahini as a replacement, even though it will never replace animal fats. And miso concentrate. I'm giving that a stir and then adding some olive oil and maple syrup. Brick. I was having trouble getting it to fully incorporate, so I ended up using my electric whisk. You could also do this in a blender as well. Yeah, you can do everything in a blender. Finally, I added in some cinnamon and a bit of salt and pepper. And now I'm going to be preparing my tempeh that I have already pre-steamed, which removes a bit of... Finally, we have some plant protein. Wow. I added the tempeh to a bowl and coated it in the miso tahini dressing. Then I transfer the tempeh to a baking pan and bake it for 25 minutes at 400 degrees. Next, to prepare my kale, I'm just massaging it with some olive oil to make it a little bit... I'm not going to say it again, guys. You already know how toxic kale is. Come on. If you've been watching this channel, you know. And now to assemble everything together, I'm adding in quinoa that I've already pre-cooked as well as the kale and the five spice roasted vegetables. And... It's absolutely cruelty-free. Don't worry about the exploitation of the workers that have to farm your quinoa. Don't worry about that they don't have anything to eat. As long as you can eat imported quinoa, it's vegan. Then I'm adding in some dried cranberries on top as well as vegan feta and finishing it off with the miso maple tahini dressing. And sometimes along with lunch, I love to have a kombucha. Now I'm going to be preparing another snack, which I might have till the end of my dancing day or on my communal... She still needs snacks. Imagine the tempeh being meat. You wouldn't need any snacks after that. With lunch, I love to have... But they don't question it. Now I'm going to be... This is multigrain crackers along with some guacamole. Multigrain is healthy. And with some sort of fruit. Today I have apples. For lunch, I am making a really big salad with lots of beans and veggies. All you need to do is grab some fresh greens. Insoluble fiber. Please proceed. Some roasted red pepper all nice and chopped up. I love adding cranberries to salad. It's a really... Did you notice that they always add something sweet on top of their vegetables? Why is that so? Because they hate vegetables and they love sugar. Good. Hey! Some red onions. That's it. Spicy flavor. And chickpeas, garbanzo beans are a great source of protein. Yeah, exactly. Let's just say that because we heard it somewhere. Look at this. This is a handful of chickpeas. How much protein does that have? Three grams? How much will you extract? One gram? A great source of protein. A great source of protein. Yes! Let's start off with some crumbled blue corn chips. This vegan goddess dress. That's how much she loves her salad. She has to add nachos on top. Don't get it twisted guys. It doesn't matter which color those nachos have. They have the exact same nutritional value like Cheetos.  Usually around three or four o'clock I will get hungry again. And I love making this really quick easy vegan hot chocolate. I put in a cup of milk in the microwave for one minute. Milk but it's not. It's a fortified plant protein beverage. This is not milk. You know it yourself. The only reason why this has protein is because they added isolated plant protein to it. Again, you're leaving off supplements. Easy vegan hot chocolate. I put in a cup of milk in the microwave for one minute. Add some cocoa powder. Microwave it again for one minute. I really like this. It just has too many nutrients.  Ultramilk does have a lot of calories and a lot of protein. So it's really filling in the afternoon. And you really pair that with some fruit. Poor salt man. So next I did potato, beans, basil and onions. So I like to saute up the onions. I'm going to add the potatoes next. Of course I would like to put salt, pepper, different types of seasonings. And then the white beans. And then of course I put the like meat right alongside with it. Pairs really well. It has been. Yeah, pairs really well. Yet again, they don't understand what they're doing. They're completely blind. They are under the vegan spell. Look at this.  Potatoes are plants. They don't have protein. He already drank two protein shakes because plants don't have protein. So what does he do next? He has to eat meat. Because if you're lifting heavy weights, obviously you will have meat cravings, but he's eating a meat replacement. Which consists of again, isolated protein powder. Do you get it now? No, you don't. I put the like meat right alongside with it. Pairs really well. It has been a little bit harder to gain muscle, maintain muscle. It's the challenge that actually interests me. And there are... Yeah, that's the challenge that interests you. Admitting that he built his muscle prior to veganism. Because he clearly said it is hard to build a... maintain the muscle. He simply tries to maintain his muscle on a vegan diet.  A lot of skeptics.  You will. It's simply not true. You just have to have the right numbers, hit your macros, and you will grow. For dinner? Sure. You just have to have the right macros. Not taking into consideration that you don't have the macros. Let's start with something that you care about. Plants don't have creatin. Zero. No creatin whatsoever. They have no carnitin either. No carnicin. Quite important for muscle building, you would think. They don't have cholesterol, which is the precursor of all sexual hormones, steroid hormones.  And nothing wrong with that. But with steroids, you have a better protein synthesis. Because you have a higher protein synthesis, now you chuck down isolated plant protein powder and you can maintain somewhat for a while. But once your body is depleted of all the micronutrients, you will suffer like the rest. You will grow. For dinner, I'm going to be making a chickpea salad sandwich along with some pumpkin lentil soup. I'm going to begin by assembling the chickpea salad first. I'm adding the chickpeas to a bowl and mashing them up thoroughly. And then tossing in some chopped carrots, celery, and onion. Mixing it up again and adding in some vegan mayo, pepper, and dried cilantro. Once everything is well combined, I'll move on to making the sandwich. I've toasted two pieces of bread and I'm adding vegan mayo to both slices. Topping with tomato, avocado, sprouts, lettuce, and finishing it off with the chickpea salad. Obviously mimicking eggs. As always, you want to eat eggs. Just eat them. Up some pre-made pumpkin lentil soup to serve with my sandwich. And this has to be one of my favorite recipes. It's so good after a long day. For dinner, I made a mix of veggies with rice and tofu. I'm going to roast some cauliflower and broccoli. Add some olive oil. Completely indigestible. Olive powder. You'll scoop it out. It's really good. It's an anti-inflammatory, so I really like eating that on the weekend, on my longer run days. I'm going to roast that at 350 for about 30 to 40 minutes. I'm going to make some quick air-fry tofu to go with that. All I'm doing is dropping it in some whole wheat flour. I did well grease the pan. And I'm going to put that into the air fryer for just about... This is so hilarious to me because I did the same. As a vegan, vegan bodybuilder, if you will.  Nobody in Asia where tofu comes from would ever eat such an amount of tofu. They eat it as a condiment in their soups, in their noodle dishes. Why is that so? Because tofu is highly estrogenic and wrecks your digestion. No human being can digest a whole block of tofu. It is like eating soap. A few minutes. So I just added some sliced red onion. I'm actually using cast iron, which is really helpful for vegans because it actually adds iron into your food and adds some... Admitting that you don't have enough iron in your plants yet again. I love mushrooms. They have such good flavor. These are just sliced baby bellas. And then I'm adding in some fresh sliced green pepper. I added in some fresh grated ginger. So it has really good flavor and lots of good healing properties for your body. Not a lot of steps. I like to keep it simple. I'm adding some brown rice. Super simple. How about eating a steak? Probably cauliflower. Too simple. Fried tofu.  I'm pretty hungry by the end of the day. And I love just digging in. At night I pretty much always eat a snack before I go to bed. I'm just burning so many calories as a runner throughout the day that I have to eat something and you cannot go wrong with some dark chocolate chips and peanuts as a snack. Absolutely can't go wrong by eating peanuts and chocolate. Do you hear yourself? The mix. It's the perfect bedtime snack. It's really filling and totally delicious. So you need to fill yourself up because you're starving.  You wouldn't be full but you would be nourished. It's the perfect food. Next I did some brown rice, some roasted veggies, some white beans and some more. Like meat. Just roasted up the veggies. Oh wow. A little salt. Throw them in the oven. I put it at 425. This guy doesn't get it. At all. It never gets old. I have noticed more differences since I've become fully plant-based. I definitely have a lot more energy. My skin is cleared up. I've built this muscular physique and I've been able to maintain it for the last two years on a plant-based diet. So it's definitely doable guys. Hey guys. Right guys. And this is it for today's video. Absolutely amazing nutritional advice. You guys go vegan. I can do it too. Hey, I've been vegan for two years. Wow. Man, we already know that every single person in that video will be a future ex-vegan. That dropout rate in veganism is over 90%. Stop kidding yourself. Anyways. The video is long enough guys.

James Tarnas, thank you very much for joining us today. Can we start by just telling us a bit about your role in Boganville in the last few years? Thank you Jonathan. My role has been just basically two major roles that I played during the Boganville conflict and during the Boganville peace process. During the conflict I was part of the Boganville Revolutionary Army that took up arms against the government of Papua Greeny against the mining company and then during the peace process I was basically a peace builder. Those were the two main things that my role involved. But let me go back a little bit to 1988. I was a young student when the conflict started because I come from the district where the conflict started. I was unable to go to school. I stayed back in the village. So I stayed all my entire life in the district that I come from to part in it and I've never left Boganville since then. Also to say that I never completed my school so I was I'm just basically a village boy from that area who took active participation in the fighting and in the peace building and I continue to be a peace builder today. Right. And back when you were a student prior to the conflict you you never dreamed you would one day be president? I never dreamed that one day I will be the president.  I was just majoring in mathematics science and strangely I was studying Japanese language. Right. And in the end I ended up starting to be an accountant thinking that I would take up a profession where I can spend some quiet time behind the doors just playing around with figures and balancing the books. And what was the sequence of events that led you to become president? Because I come from the area and I got myself involved in the early days. I was sort of lucky because in the early days of the militancy and the insurgency there were not many young men that were recruited into the Boganville Revolutionary Army. But because I come from the district, the Banguna district, where the problems started from, I naturally just entered into the Boganville Revolutionary Army and I was one of the few educated ones. Just not high level of education but just enough level of education to at least carry a weapon but at the same time carry a pen and a paper. That was the main distinction from about me and the other combatants that I was fighting alongside with. So what I would say is that because of that background it gave me an extra leverage to associate myself with a fighting man as a young man but also listen to the older people, the older leaders under which we were fighting to listen to them. And because of that education background, I had Francis owner, the Supreme Commander. The Supreme Commander got me to work for him. So basically I was doing a bit of fighting here and there and a bit of attending meetings, listening to the political leaders writing and taking notes for them. So I grew up in that environment as a young man to part in fighting and by the same time I was beginning to take more political responsibilities. In 1990 the government of Papua Negri pulled out and in the first ceasefire in 1990 left a big vacuum and Boganville was thrown into a turmoil. Because of the way the conflict started, the Boganville Revolutionary Army was not a conventional army. It was almost an army of the villages. So we came from all walks of life. Some were politicians, some were businessmen, some were religious people, some were students like me. And of course a good number of them were people from the criminal elements. So when the state functions went through, the criminal elements started coming up and they overpowered the political masters and Boganville was thrown into a period of chaos and violence and anarchy. And that was a time when the second part of the population started thinking, okay this is not safe. Maybe we will be better off with the government of Papua Negri. So they started linking and communicating and contacting the Papua Negri defense force so for the return of the Papua Negri authorities back on the island. And of course because of the difference of opinion on the politics Boganville was divided and then one part of Boganville was steel and the Boganville Revolutionary Army and the other part of the Boganville under a military that was sponsored by the government of Papua Negri and by the Papua Negri government with weapons given by Australia under the defense Australian defense Papua Negri ties. So Boganville was then basically divided in half. We continued fighting amongst ourselves and the conflict was becoming complicated. As I mentioned in the presentation, the Boganville conflict started developing multiple layers. It started from from a frustration against the mining company and when the state missed and all the situation, Boganville is retaliated against the state, meaning Papua Negri and when the state withdrew there was a vacuum and part of Boganville Revolutionary Army so Boganville was also divided. So it went into a multiple layer of conflict and we continued that way. There was a stalemate. We could not move any further Papua Negri government nor the Boganville side would do any progress forward but when that was happening the victims of the civil society people were suffering. So they had to be a way out and the way out was first attempted by the government of Papua Negri when they hired a missionary South African based missionaries that was called executive outcomes, outcomes that was not very well received by the military in Papua Negri for the government of Papua Negri to hire a missionary company outside of Papua Negri was seen as a vault of no confidence against their own state institution so the defense force it revolted against the government of Papua Negri with the problems it must be the prime minister resigned but when that was happening it gave one thing to the Boganville Revolutionary Army it gave an immediate sympathy in Papua Negri, sympathy on Boganville and also sympathy abroad and that brought in a big amount of international attention and that also sent a powerful message to Boganville that time has come for us to reunite and also as I was I mentioned in my presentation earlier was that there was now a thinking in the Boganville Revolutionary Army leadership that Gorilla warfare tactics were now failing we had to move to a higher level right meaning the higher level was now of diplomacy negotiations and peace and dialogue and reconciliation and of course what was clear in our minds was that the weapons we were holding were no longer going to play a major role our major weapon would be international credibility and friendship trust and respect and they will be more of the important tools that we will be needing for peace building but during the process that I just mentioned yes I from a student I became a fighter then from a fighter I was also playing more of a clerical and administrative roles within the Boganville Revolutionary Army and then around 1993 1993 1993 I resigned from the Boganville Revolutionary Army and just decided to stay in the village and then I re-enter the Boganville Revolutionary Army with a very totally different function that I thought I would never do also that was to work with the chiefs in the village and take more active responsibilities in political political awareness and political education what we noticed then was that look to us what is independence we call this world independence and not many people knew what independence was so what we did was we formed a small group group a discussion group where we would just we would sit down criticize ourselves criticize our leaders and just to think if we are on the right track right but out of that discussion group what we came up with is a political education program that gave us started giving out a basic political awareness on what independence is and what state building is what peace is what we can do and what we cannot do and of course an important part of it was to recognize our own limitation our own limitation was the first one we were aware that the international community there was no state nation sponsoring Boganville independence and sponsoring the Boganville Revolutionary Army we were alone on an isolated island right so we had to think and second the international community continued changing and if we continue to drag on we will lose support and of course our people were changing in the end we will we will lose people and also most of our commanders were getting killed and also as I mentioned in my presentation earlier two things that characterise Boganville warfare is the ability to start it and the ability to end it right and traditionally even from our the days of our grandfathers if you start a war you must make sure you end it within your time so that you do not lose the objectives of the conflict anyway so we started we formed that group I designed a small political education program we conducted it in the villages with the fighting men with the chiefs and quickly I mean slowly it got recognition from from the leaders of the struggle so I was asked then to join the political leadership and then I was appointed the minister for peace even I think two years before the start of the formal peace process right so what it gave us was that even in the Boganville Revolutionary Army even during the days of fighting there was already a small core unit in the Boganville Revolutionary Army that was thinking peace and that was that was thinking peace discussing peace so that we already had a grassroot initiative going in fact some of the recommendations that we had actually started before the signing of the formal peace process right with the other Boganville factions and also with the government of Papua New Guinea and of course longer before the long before the arrival of the neutral peace monitoring groups at the United Nations observer mission right so the most important thing maybe that I would leave in this seminar is to say that peace can be advocated peace can be attempted to be enforced but peace really starts with those who all don't peace actually will all don't until those who are in in the center of the fighting decide to accept peace right yes a lot of Boganville and in fact few Boganvillean leaders lost their lives few civilians lost their lives in their attempts as attempts for peace so but the difference with this peace process at the moment the current peace process is that the peace process now is held because it is based on a decision that was made by the Boganville Revolutionary Army right so it's not it's not that because we have a magic magic formula or that it's simply because of the fact that we were the ones that were doing the fighting and we were the ones we had to accept peace and leave peace you mentioned that at the height of the conflict there were sort of multiple layers I guess you reached a point where where some of the objectives start to get a bit lost yeah the objective started getting lost right after 1990 right because the main two objectives for based on the grievance against the mining company and then from that it evolved into a long-standing issue over the question of Boganvillean independence away from public beginning right but then it was getting lost into into just pure hatred and also certain groups for abusing that vacuum the situation to score their own to settle their own scores so there were some personalized conflicts right so we were beginning to lose it and I must say that we we are actually lucky that we had to end the conflict before the two original agendas were or lost and and so just summarizing one of your points there the turning point really came when the focus went from conflict to dialogue about what everyone wanted to achieve yes right yes the turning point came when those of us who were in the center of the fighting realized that fighting was no longer fighting would not achieve anything right we had to move on we had to adapt right so tell me about your involvement in the in the peacekeeping process now now what what drives you to continue after so many years of I guess living with conflict and having been involved in the in the process of resolving it I'll go back to the time that I was I was the minister for peace within the Boganvillean Revolutionary Army I started working as a minister for peace when the peace monitoring group started coming in naturally I was the main person within the Boganvillean Revolutionary Army that started linking and started connecting at a grassroots level to to now change into the new situation yes but before that because you were in a in a block blockade situation we could not get much information from the outside but and one day while in the bush we got a book the book was written by Nelson Mandela long walk to freedom right and one of the important statements he made was you cannot make peace by talking to your friends but you have to make peace by talking to your enemies right and during the presentation I mentioned that we had a difficult time trying to adjust to the Australian participation because of the colonial history and the mining history we had to ask Australia was the enemy but but we had to find a way out yes we tried our best to find another nation to support the peace process yes but we could not find any nation that could beat the Australian contribution Australia Australia was contributing big money in time big time in terms of finance human resource and also logistics yes so we had to find a way out and the way out for us was to put the united nations observer missing so that those who still continue to have problems with Australian participation at least will link through the united nations yes but there's something else that I will I will mention in this interview that I did not mention at the seminar sure one of the things that we found it a little bit difficult with the with the peace monitoring group was the humanitarian aspect of it right the way the peace monitoring group was deployed on Bowenville did their mandate was not humanitarian assistance their mandate was monitoring the peace and that's it but there were times when we would find out find uh end up in a situation we would have wanted them wanted a bit more from them in terms of assistance yes but we could not ask them any anything more than that right and in a Bowenville society uh what we believe in this is sharing is caring caring is respect and respect strength and peace and I'll give you two examples there was there was an Australian peace monitoring site and this site was right in right I think it was a center that was most closest to Panguna and the standing order at the camp or their policy was if there's food this leftover bury it don't give it to the locals so one day they had a big leftover of meat so under their regulations they couldn't bury it but one of the commanders who was the commander was assigned to that camp decided no they're going to waste this we give it to the locals right so he gave it gave them meat to us we distributed that meat but some of the meat from the peace monitoring group we ended it out to the ones that was still resisting the peace process hold up in the mountains right they received that meat they distributed that meat amongst themselves and a week later a line of commanders came down and asked me if they could talk to the peace monitoring group and that's how they joined the peace process yes so that is one one example of of a situation where I noticed maybe if there was a new humanitarian site attached to this peace operation right it would help because remember I talked about the multiple layers the deployment of the Australian forces on on Bowenville in the peace monitoring group was actually in my view was supposed to have provided two functions yes one is to facilitate a neutral environment for us the Bowenville factions yes and also a relationship building between the Bowenville Bowenvillians and the Australians right but let me say that let me say that even though the humanitarian side of the peace mission was not their mandate they did very well so this peace operation on Bowenville also helped to improve relationships with the Australian Australians on Bowenville in fact it was only about three months ago I did one major peace activity in Bowenville there was this the location around Panguna was a no-go zone to the Australians during during the peace operation right in fact no peace monitor entered Panguna during that time it was only about three months ago when I first for the first time arranged a reconciliation between the Australian High Commissioner to publicly end chemists right and the faction that refused to talk to the Australians and this ceremony involved that involved a very simple thing not big money just one life peak with a backup rise and we perform a cultural ritual to allow the Australian High Commissioner for the first time after 23 years for any Australian officer to enter into Panguna so what I'm trying to get at Jonathan is this peace building on Bowenville is largely based on relationship building yes relationship building because through relationship building you then improve perspectives and then you improve perceptions if there's a negative perception then you improve it through relationship and in a millennial society like Bowenville you the way you the way we build relationship is not informal meetings it might take you just an offer of a cigarette offer your cigarette lighter to offer to a stranger you've made one friend offer food you may you make a friend in fact there were times Jonathan when I wondered what could have happened if the if the policies and the regulations allowed the Australian army commanders and their civilian monitors to chew bitternut right because we use bitternut in peace building yes we use bitternut in gatherings and to make friendship and we use bitternut to court women too right so I'm not sure how well that would work in Australia but I know it's a difficult thing they would not allow them but the point you're making is that understanding local customs local traditions understanding local people and the way they communicate is a really important part of the peace process because you can't build the relationships then you can't have dialogue I'll give you another example the pigeons the regulations did not allow pigeons and demons to bring in cover but few few of them sneak in and the cover plant the young owner plant where cover is made from actually grows wild on Bowenville too much of them it's just that we Bowenville and speed we don't use it right so they did use some sneak in some used that opportunity to build relationships so right because the official mandate of the peace monitoring group did not have a humanitarian assistance where sharing can be part of the program yeah a few people broke rules to build relationships and it worked for the peace process and it sounds like it's a lesson learned for the future in similar situations yes James Talis thank you very much for your time today my pleasure

Now let's say that they pay us on it. So I'm going to say receive payment. We've got the payment. They paid us. Same day. That's fine. Whatever the payment, I'll say cash. I put it into undeposited funds. This then decrease in the accounts receivable going into undeposited funds. Now if they didn't pay us yet and they reversed the transaction, that's where the credit memo would go. But now we're saying they already paid us. So I'm going to say save and close. And then I'm going to say let's finish it off with a deposit. I'm going to hit the plus button up top. Deposit it. And then we're going to say that's the one. And then I will deposit it increasing the checking account and the other side going to decreasing undeposited funds. The deposits been made.


Okay, so what we've been doing is we've been looking at ways of characterizing or coming up with expressions for the XRG due to different forms of energy. We also looked at the way to calculate XRG change for either a fixed mass or closed system as well as an open system. The last thing we want to do in today's lecture is we want to look at XRG associated due to heat, work, and mass crossing a boundary. So we'll begin by looking at heat. And for this, if you recall when we looked at the XRG due to internal energy, we took a heat source and we put it in a piston cylinder device and the heat flowed out of that and it went to the surroundings and we sent it through a reversible heat engine. Well, that's exactly what we're going to do whenever we have heat transfer. We're going to assume that whenever you have heat transfer, that that heat could theoretically flow through a reversible engine like the Carnot engine. And with that, we already have an expression for the thermal efficiency of a reversible engine so we can place that in here. T0 is the surrounding and T is the high temperature at which our heat source is flowing from. And we multiply it by Q. That is XRG associated with heat. Now for work, for work, we have two different types of XRG depending upon whether or not we have boundary work. Because if we have boundary work, we've got to be a little more careful because we could have work being performed on the surroundings. And so for work, we have work minus work surroundings, recalling that that is nothing more than the volume change of our boundary multiplied by the local dead state pressure, typically atmospheric 101.325. So that is if you have boundary work and if you have no boundary work, it's just work. Work can flow into work. So that's a pretty simple one. And finally mass. Mass is when you have any kind of fluid crossing the boundary, it is just the mass multiplied by psi which would be the XRG per unit mass and we looked at that a moment ago. So those are the ways to handle heat, work, and mass and be able to quantify the amount of the XRG associated with each of them. A couple of final notes to say about XRG. One is that XRG is always destroyed due to irreversibilities. And given that no matter what process we look at, in reality we will always have irreversibilities, XRG is always being destroyed. So consequently what we can write, we can write that the change in XRG, so XRG at state two minus XRG at state one is always going to be less than zero. Given that XRG is being destroyed, it is going down and consequently X2 will be less than X1. The other thing that we can say is that the XRG destruction is related to entropy generation. And given that entropy is always increasing, we can then write that XRG destroyed is always greater than zero. So those are two of the concepts. We bring in the entropy generation thing here. What we'll find when we're doing some of the problem solving, in certain cases you can go through and you can do the XRG analysis or what you can do is you can go and you can calculate the entropy generation, which we've seen earlier. And then you just multiply it by the temperature at the dead state. So if they're asking you to calculate XRG destroyed, you can either do it using entropy or you can use it using XRG analysis. And some of the problems it will look at, it's actually simpler to do the entropy generation. So with that, that concludes today's lecture. Thank you very much for your attention. Goodbye.


How can I install plugins on my Moodle site? There are four ways to install plugins on your Moodle site. From the admin interface of your Moodle site, by uploading the plugin manually onto your server, by installing via Git, or by installing via the command line interface. In this video, we explore how you can install plugins from site administration, plugins, install plugins. In other words, the admin interface of your Moodle site. If you don't see this link on your Moodle site, it means the target directory on your server is not writable, so you can't add plugins to it. Note, it's not possible to install plugins on Moodle cloud sites, but if you're hosting your site on your own server, you should be able to configure it to allow plugins installation. It might also be possible on hosted sites, depending on your contract with the hosting provider. You should also install your chosen plugin on a test site first, before adding it to your live site. This will help avoid any problems, such as conflict with other plugins. And it's a good idea to switch to maintenance mode temporarily while installing plugins. From site administration, plugins, install plugins, we have two methods. Method one, install plugins from the Moodle plugins directory. Clicking here takes us to Moodle.org plugins, where we're prompted to login to Moodle.org. From the plugins directory, we search for the plugin we want. If it's up to date for our version of Moodle, we'll see an install now button. When we click on it, we're prompted to click to install it into our Moodle site. If we're managing more than one Moodle site, the others will be listed here too. From our site, we are asked to confirm we want to make the installation. And when we press continue, the plugin is downloaded and checked or validated. And then if all is well, we can continue to installation. Moodle then performs server checks to make sure our server environment meets all the requirements, and then from the bottom of the screen, we press continue. On the next screen, we have to click the button upgrade Moodle database now, and the plugin will be installed. Some plugins have settings which you can define and configure here, and you can also do them later. We can view our plugin from the admin interface from site administration, plugins, plugins overview, additional plugins. And once we've done that, it's important to test that it works as expected. How that's done depends on the type of plugin. Our example is a course activity, so we'd need to go into a course, add it and test it out. Method two, upload a zip file. When we were in the plugins directory, we saw another button download, and this is the second method of installing a plugin. You can either download a plugin from the plugins directory, as we'll do here, or you can use this second option to install a plugin that you've got from somewhere or someone else, having checked it for reliability beforehand. From site administration, plugins, install plugins, we click choose a file and upload the zip file of our chosen plugin. If the plugin has been correctly configured, then we don't need to do anything in the show more section. But if there are any problems, then we can manually select the plugin type and also, if needed, provide the correct name for the root directory. Pressing install plugin from zip file then starts the same process as in method one, so we go through the same validation and the same database upgrade until our plugin is successfully added to the site. To summarize, plugins may be installed from site administration, plugins, install plugins, either from the Moodle plugins directory or by uploading a zip file if the target directory on your server is writable.


Appalachian Wireless is transforming the way you upgrade your smart phone. Trade in, trade up, and experience the benefits of Appalachian Wireless's trade-in program. Get your estimate on AppalachianWireless.com now. Better service and bigger savings, that's today's Appalachian Wireless. Our current center is a very small center within the police department and we've increased our dispatchers on duty up to two on duty. But when you start getting multiple people in there, it gets really cramped. So for safety reasons and other reasons, we need more room and we need room to grow because Appalachian Wireless is obviously growing. Things are changing nationwide and one of the trends out there is that public safety answering points are moving out to themselves because it's a more demanding position than say 20 years ago. We do much more than what we did then. So we need space, we need our area to where we can do our jobs efficiently and make sure that these responders and our citizens get the best response they can from us.
