roadway even if it has you know bar ditches and other treatments on the on the edge so that at least we've got the the capacity for the for the vehicular movement through these areas I love your optimism and I love the the fact that you said hopeful but what can we do to ensure that that's part I mean again we can have the relationships with the county but you're you're right all the curbs gutters all that stuff has to happen as part of part of it so how can we ensure that happens as this piecemeal development happens yeah so we'll we'll be hearing from the Tarrant County staff you know we've met with you know their their assistant you know county manager and their transportation planning director to begin to talk through some of these issues so at least at the staff level they'll be following up with us because we have to update the interlocal agreement right we were needed to do that anyway but now we really have to and so we'll be talking through with them I think the I think they'll my I don't want to speak for them but my guess is they'll be amenable to the right-of-way width but I don't know that they would be amenable to meeting the city's street standards with regard to curb and gutter sidewalks and streetlights because that's not something that they maintain right they they maintain asphalt streets with with the bar ditches so we would have to work through that if if we were somehow to create some arrangement but I would expect they'd have to look to the city to help fund that or you know make that possible so I don't it'll it'll be challenging it'll yeah because what you're gonna end up having is probably if you're talking about this as you talked about road shrinking down from four lanes to two lanes back to four lanes you're also gonna have complete roads gutters etc maybe sidewalks yes I'm part of a stretch and then a stretch and I and so so residents aren't gonna understand that yeah exactly why is that so some inside some inside baseball on what we might be able to do right is the county may say just go ahead and annex the existing right-of-way right the city you know the we can annex right-of-way it's not private property right one of that but that may only be the say the 60 feet that's there today and then if the county is able to exact the rest during platting at some point then perhaps we can annex the remainder of the right-of-way and then maintain it as a city street we would just have to case by case right does that make sense is it city street standard on both sides yeah yeah great idea and dana one thing I know we can't we can't mix this sausage and work session I think it's good that it's time to get the interlocal updated and I'm sure you guys will have everything ironed out for us perfect timing yes I appreciate it and I just want to make sure we get some of that on record thanks mayor pretend bithans um yeah thank you don't forget the citizen expectation Michael that you mentioned we also need to have you know some kind of communication even though these are new citizens but there will be an expectation that people think they get because they're in Fort Worth or near right and the last point of this process too I'd like us to get notifications where it's going to be affected where we are I don't think y'all doing that at this point we you and I've talked sure but I know Jared had about three or four in his district yeah so that's one of the things yeah so so um DJ Harrell and Jennifer Roberts I need first of all I need to thank them for all their their work and getting this presentation ready so thank you Jennifer and the team for for getting all this ready along with working with the other departments so a couple of thoughts one is that we'll send a notice kind of do an email notice as these come in right to the district council member and and staff leadership but our thought is that we'll follow up with a monthly IR or maybe less often depending on how many we get but we've already got I think two or three more in October um these requests and so we just want to keep keep that cadence up as long as we're getting these requests so we can you can see you know geographically where are they in relation to each other yes sir can I add one and the other is this isn't the brightest of public policy on a long-term perspective so we also have the opportunity with the legislative session that will be coming in the next couple years using as many of these ideas and opportunities with our legislative delegation to talk about how public policy has a real impact at a local level so we've got a number of great examples right here and I think we ought to use those in shaping future public policy at the state level did that work last session just curious we're hopeful we're hopeful thank you for the opportunity and thank you rich okay council next is minnell henning presentation on the proposed economic development program agreement with golden ride services well that's coming up I'll just mention I've recognized on the last presentation here today so I'll do my best to be brief so we wanted to discuss a proposed economic development program agreement with golden ride services for the development of a mixed use development across two sites and those two sides are illustrated here the first being just north of west seventh which is noted here as being the van zandt near the intersection of west seventh and curry and the second site being one university which is located alongside university near blood so now these two developments are really being treated as one overall project on two different sites and then we'd involve a proposed 400 million dollars worth of new investment for this mixed use project that would deliver just under 200 000 square feet of new class a office space along with 20 000 square feet of new retail space 466 new multifamily units the 175 key autograph hotel and 1300 spaces into new parking garages and you can see there the breakout between the two sites this is a visual of what the van zandt would look like once complete this is another view of that same property looking down west seventh and here you can see just noted the the different components of the project the office retail and multifamily and where they would be located this is a view going to the other site of one university this is from the west looking east this view gets you in just a little bit closer to see the the treatment as you begin get on to the site and a view of the proposed autograph hotel so just for comparison many of you may be familiar with the two other autograph hotels that are located here in Fort Worth today you've got the Sinclair in downtown and you've got the hotel drover in the Fort Worth Stockyards so together this project would really represent the single biggest investment in the west seventh district since Cyprus equities first developed what is today Crockett rail so this is really an opportunity to lead the overall district into a new chapter just given the the amount and the significance of this investment now the inclusion of approximately 200 000 square feet of office space does bring a certain element of risk and uncertainty to the project just not only given where the the state of the overall national office market is today but even just throwing down a little more locally here to Fort Worth there hasn't been a lot of new class A office space that's been delivered yet certainly we have certain notable projects such as the Crescent which are going to be coming online here soon but in certain respects in the eyes of the capital markets and particularly from lenders it is still somewhat of an uncertain market for new office space now having said that the developers are real believers in the office market here in Fort Worth and the opportunity to build new high quality class A in Fort Worth they believe that there is an appetite within the market for that kind of product and that the fundamentals are there to be able to support it nevertheless there is a significant financial gap that is preventing this project from being able to move forward that would prevent it from reaching financial viability and even though there is ongoing site work that I'm sure many might notice going on there today particularly along West 7th near at the Van Zandt site those are all initial site work improvements and things that can be easily walked away from the more intense development or the vertical development the certainly the overall delivery of the project itself and that is not something that could move forward that the developer would be in a position to move forward with without significant support from the city in the way of these proposed incentives and so we'll walk through the proposed public private partnership that is being presented here today to help get them there and that proposed p3 is similar in structure to what led to the development of the Crescent project which is coming up on completion and just to be clear about that structure that involves the conveyance of garages in exchange for annual grants that support a portion of the debt service that help to finance those garages now I just want to be clear that the point of that is not the delivery of the garages themselves it is a way of delivering value to the overall project to make the overall mixed use development project financially viable so as part of the proposed agreement the company would be committing to an overall investment of at least 400 million dollars for the delivery of these two mixed use projects and I also want to be clear that this is an all or nothing agreement so they have to deliver both projects in order to receive any incentives under the proposed agreement of that 400 million a minimum 300 million would be required to be hard construction costs and a minimum 15 percent of all hard and soft costs must go to certified bf firms the van zandt would be required to be completed by no later than the end of 2026 and one university would be required to be completed one year later at the end of 2027 and you can see here that the breakout of the individual site commitments that are in line with why I just presented a moment ago now there are some additional commitments that the developer is agreeing to as part of this proposed agreement the first would be to engage in offices and practices that favor tenants that would be relocating from outside of the region because that's really ultimately what we want to see happen here is a growing base of employers here for worth that are occupying new space and the developer is also committing to not lease any of its retail space to any free free standing bar or nightclub for the term of the agreement and so that is not the retail mix that they are proposing to bring to the west of its district so we just want to be clear about about that commitment as well so just to very quickly walk through the mechanics of how the the garages would be brought into this agreement the developer would be responsible for constructing the garages and would be responsible for securing the debt to finance that construction no later than 90 days after the project is complete they would be required to convey the garages over to the city which effectively leaves which would effectively be about a 48 million dollar value placed onto the city's balance sheet the city would enter into an operations maintenance agreement with the developer for them to be able to use the garage and all that parking revenue would be split 50 50 between the developer and the city and approximately 660 spaces would be made available for use by the public on evenings and weekends there is a purchase and a put and a put option that would be included as part of this agreement for the garages to be conveyed back to the developer beginning as early as 2035 subject to the terms of this agreement to support the project to make it and to put into position of being able to go forward staff is recommending a 15-year economic development program agreement that would provide grants for up to 20 million dollars on a net present value basis and those grants would be delivered in a flat structured annual payment of 2 million 55517 dollars which on a gross basis is just over 30 million dollars the reason for that fixed amount is that covers a portion of the debt service that is directly going to finance these garages so again that helps to fill the financial gap that is preventing this project from going forward the city ultimately has some flexibility as to how to to finance those grants but the those annual grants are generally equal to approximately 85 percent of the incremental property taxes and 85 percent of the incremental city 1 percent sales taxes that would be generated by this project so in that sense the project would be capable of support directly supporting these grants in that manner if the city decided to to do so the in the event that there is any difference between that underlying support from incremental property taxes and the grant payments that would be made by the city as proposed under this agreement then the developer would be responsible for paying that ultimately to the city when the garages conveyed back to them and so that is a way for us to be able to ensure that the city is able to recoup any difference between the incremental property taxes from the project and the grants that we're giving them so we're we've built on a way to to really reduce the risk here to the city and make sure that the city is made whole so just to summarize along the along the left side of the screen you can see the primary commitments from the developer and again the proposed development the proposed incentive agreement would lead to approximately 30 point eight million dollars of grants paid over the lifetime of the agreement which is 20 million dollars on that present value basis that amounts to a city participation rate of five percent which is a private to public ratio of 20 to 1 over the course of the 15 year term of this agreement net of net of the grants are being provided to the developer staff is forecasting that the city would net just under 40 million dollars of net new taxes from this project again that is after the value of the grants being paid to support it that results in a payback period of approximately 4.4 years at completion of the term of this agreement so staff is recommending that the city enter into a 15 year economic development program agreement to provide grants up to a total of 30 million eight hundred thirty two thousand seven hundred fifty five um and an embassy will be placed on the city council's agenda on october 17th i'll be happy to answer any questions any questions for michael macy michael is there a best practice number for the private partner at private public partnership ratio that's a good question so ordinarily we really target um private to public ratio that is north of 10 to 1 there have been certain cases really exceptional cases where we have gotten lower than that but generally speaking our speed spot is above 10 to 1 so that that certainly means that criteria i just i wholeheartedly support this and i hope my colleagues will as well when it's up for a vote there's a lot that has gone into these two particular projects they are catalysts for the area and helping create the change that we want to see overall in that district not to belabor stormwater but i can tell you one of these projects had to bring back 20 feet their building footprint because of the stormwater issues in the area so that's something we didn't get right and so this is a way that we can also help that was a tremendous cost to that particular development and so this is also a way to kind of right one of those wrongs that we have made in the in the past so i really appreciate all your team i knew mayor and i met with them what feels like a decade ago but it wasn't it was probably a year ago um so thank you for all your hard work great job my thank you thank you council has lost our presentations any requests for future agenda items or reports elizabeth i do just second go ahead elizabeth oh so i would like a presentation on um what we do as a city for civil service and then our general employees as far as um health benefits whether that be um employee benefit programs or um through our um some whatever innovative programs we're kind of doing to to help with our employees both physical and and mental health jena i've got a couple uh the first one is as we continue to support the construction of affordable housing i would like a report that shows the inventory of city owned property throughout the city and it should include land donation the other one is regarding my fort worth app and the call center i think the use of the call center and my fort worth app is increasing and that's a good thing but it's good to know what's being reported so i'd like some type of breakdown on the calls complaints inquiries that we're looking at from my fort worth app and the call center and i'm good with waiting a couple of months on that but i think it's it continues to show engagement we just need to know what kind of calls are coming in in the event we can establish some kind of automated answer or whatever a different way so those are my two anyone else i think that's it meeting adjourned buenas tardes i am an assistant director with a development service and i am also a member of the city of university on behalf of the committee i welcome you to the hispanic heritage month program music is a great way to sell a boss if you enjoyed the performance we're going to hear a little bit more from them later on in our program this year the theme for the hispanic heritage month program is trail of mexican-american experience in fort worth it is undeniable that hispanics are an integral part of the fabric of this diverse city so it is appropriate that we celebrate hispanic heritage month we also acknowledge and understand the history from latino trailblazers and paths they've paved so today the diversity and inclusion employee committee would like to celebrate by inviting dr pete martinez associate professor of history at taren county college northeast campus and founding board member of historians of latino american taren county also known as ola taren county to share with you his research and perspectives on the trails of mexican-american experience in fort worth which is a subject matter of an ola taren county pop-up exhibit which is the same name as which is currently on display at the city of fort worth it is at the south end of the second floor and it will be displayed through october the 15th and the display is actually here on this floor and it's on the other side of this conference room the exhibit was created by martinez using numerous visual resources from fort worth public library and based on dr pete martinez's research and demonstrates the history of mexican-americans in fort worth from 1990 to 1950 each pillar chronicles key moments and shapes the experience of the mexican experience and highlights their journey from nearly arrived laborers to building of their communities and becoming permanent and active members of the city before we get started on the presentation i would like to introduce assistant city manager valerie washington and chief communication officer renay tillies here with us today to share a message from city leadership again wasn't wasn't that great for middle schoolers to be doing that um we're going to pipeline to north side high school so we appreciate them being here we also appreciate um some of our um executive staff and elected i see in the audience um so jess mccracken assistant city manager there in the back diana head of hr right here um lena um assistant city manager and we have um council member laura storf here so we thank them all for being here um thank you for joining us for hispanic um heritage month this celebration as the chief communications officer with oversight of communications um the website engagement and more there are some changes um that i'd like you to be aware of that we've made in relation to the work we do for the city of austin so we have always um city for i'm sorry whoopsie it's been a it's been a fast year thank you for the correction so um the the city of website had a way that you can click on the word english and it gave you a drop down for all of the things that you could then um have the website automatically translated and it came to our attention that if you don't read or speak english you would not inherently ever click on the word english to give you the drop down for the other languages so now we have a vietnamese flag and a mexican flag that at least gives you some indication to go there to receive the drop down that'll be able to then translate what it is that you're doing we are also providing translation more regularly and frequently at our uh meetings we have some of our engagement staff um here that have really helped us out with our budget meetings that were all across the city and particularly in the in the budget meetings where we knew that there would be a strong population potentially for those that are interested in coming we have simultaneous translation so it's happening in real time and they're taking place in not a separate meeting where they're hearing it in spanish but in order to to maintain the group dynamic they have the translation available to them in real time we had very few takers so be sure to tell your friends and family that may be interested in in these meetings that we pre-identify that they could take place and maybe feel comfortable in doing that and then i think the most important news is we're going to have for i was saying the first time ever but um the uh pat ciswerda who was the in my role in the 90s has written to us on facebook and saying i'm glad to see that you're going to have the first communications translator interpreter that's full time in spanish in the spanish language joining us on november october 9th and so that's exciting news for us but they did have a full-time translator as i understand in the 90s so there are someone those are some of the initiatives on the professional side on the personal side i wanted to share my personal connection to this heritage growing up my parents grandparents and extended family introduced me to the rich and vibrant culture um that we had in hispanic heritage we would listen to iconic latin artists like little joy the familia which filled our home with joy and music and another cherished memory is the holiday season when my family would come together to make tamales in preparation for our big extended family christmas eve celebration and we really was a time of laughter togetherness and sharing of delicious transit traditions it's essential that we celebrate and honor the diverse backgrounds and traditions that make our city so vibrant in hispanic heritage as an integral part of our community contributing to the tapestry of forward thank you it's really a pleasure to be here and thank you brunet um and thank you for being here especially coming to a current city hall where you have to navigate parking especially if you come from other divisions so thank you thank you thank you for taking time out of your day and your lunch hour to be here um as members of the city manager's executive leadership team we want you to know that we're all here um and appreciate and want to continue recognizing the rich diversity and heritage of our city of fort worth employees our city management team our acm team is very diverse um and that's on purpose we bring such different viewpoints to the table um as all of us do in this room so it really is important to make sure we surround ourselves with diverse people and diverse thoughts um so we can be open and learn how to really run a top class city how much we have here in fort worth um our colleague brunet shared his personal connection to hispanic heritage um and again it's a reminder that we all have unique stories about our cultures and memories of growing up and things that make us who we are and who we are when we enter into a room where we can feel comfortable i think we've all probably entered rooms where you don't quite feel like people get who you are um and we want to create the environment here where any room any meeting that you walk into everyone is open and welcoming and wanting to learn more about different heritages um as we celebrate hispanic heritage month thank you for the display that you have um on the second floor i hope everyone takes time to see that um i was here a couple of council meetings ago there was a big hispanic heritage celebration out in the lobby and we happen to have executives here on an economic development deal and they were able to catch the city of fort worth just being us right we didn't put on this big celebration for them or to get them to move to our city um but they were able to come to fort worth and see that we um value and cherish hispanic heritage and as a company that has hispanic employees they want to be able to move here and know that their employees are going to be welcome here at work and in our community um so i applaud us for being caught doing something right um in that area and i really applaud christina brooks and the diversity and inclusion team um and that diversity committee for holding these events and bringing us together um and i'm looking forward to the presentation today from ola so thank you very much for being here let's continue to celebrate our differences and let's enjoy the rest of this program thank you now without further delay please help me welcome dr pete martinez it really is a pleasure to be here and uh when i was invited to speak here i was excited mainly because there's two things i'm really excited about in particular it's uh fort worth i'm my love for fort worth and my love for mexican american history in fact when i was a graduate student at the university of texas at arlington working on my masters in history i didn't really know where my path was going to go until i started looking at mexican american history and i tried to narrow it down to north texas and i didn't really find very much uh so i started doing this work as a master student and then that basically triggered me to go into my doctorate my doctoral dissertation addresses mexican american history in fort worth also um so i'm very happy to be here to present this information to you and thanks to arturo uh for providing the power point this was from this exhibit that we sent out the trail of the mexican american experience in fort worth uh again feel free to go down and look at it if you haven't already uh and i'm going to start off by just talking about how or kind of the roots of the migration the first place so uh if we look back at mexico in let's say the 1870s when bufidio ds uh first took power you know ds if you don't know was uh president or dictator depending on your perspective uh from about 1876 to 1911 so for a long time uh the ds is in power uh he really transforms the economy uh just to put this in perspective there were about 640 kilometers of railroad in mexico when he took over pageant 640 and the railroad was basically run by mules so you attach cars to mules and they would travel instead of that actual locomotives or steam engines by the time we get to 1898 uh we are up to over 12 000 kilometers so we go we expand this quite a bit within 20 years and we increase this expansion as we go into the early 20th century uh before of course the s rain came to an end with the advent of the mexican revolution uh now when this happens right you can look at the s as a very positive thing right he transforms the economy mexico is able to trade they get a lot of money a lot of money comes in from foreign countries they build up this infrastructure but at the same time we wind up taking away land right we have these land reforms where people in northern mexico


music is not the product anymore. The brand of the artist is the product. The music is just one of the assets in that. You know, if you make a hit song, I don't get to go to clubs because I made this song. I don't get to tour off that song. I don't get to do appearances or shows or license that song to something else or, you know, get, I don't get any of that. Any of that opportunity that you can get off that song, I don't get that. All I get is if I happen to have an ownership share, if I happen to have a royalty or I can just use it for marketing for my skills, right? And I think that if more artists understood that the ability that they have to make money is just so much more, you are going to make so much more money off that song than I ever will.


Yo, let me focus. What's going on YouTube? I'm sorry. I haven't posted a video in a While it's been a little crazy. So I'll let you guys know I end up getting COVID and Yeah, it kind of sucked, but thank God. I'm okay. I'm healthy I'm back and I'm here to make more videos for you guys if you guys are new to the channel Please feel free to like comment and subscribe Just put that post notifications on and also You guys have any questions or if you guys want me to do a certain hairstyle, let me know so that way I can do it But uh, yes, so in this video, I'm uh, I cut the dude's hair off Another one I cut it down to like wavelength game low ball taper with the hooks crispy line up Used enhancements. I don't think I showed the enhancements in this Yeah, my camera must have died. I'm not too sure but To stay tuned y'all What's up YouTube? I know it's been a long time since I posted a video in my intro below I explained why I didn't so if you guys didn't watch my intro go back and Watch it. So so what I'm doing is on this dude as you guys can't see he does have a kind of a fro So I'm cutting it down to a I think I'm doing a number three on top. I'm doing a number three on top Make sure that I'm brushing his pattern the way it's supposed to be so I don't want a patch or anything So make sure you guys are doing with the grain also always have a comb in your hand when you're doing it And it's make sure that it is all nice and smooth So on this next part of the haircut, I'm gonna be taking a number two guard and I'm gonna be just taking the bulk Just around the ears. I'm doing that. So that way when I do line up around the ears there's not a lot of hair poking out and also It looks more cleaner when you do we take off bulk on the side because you don't want this hair And like I said poking out on the side So you kind of want everything to be laid down Nicely and accordingly especially when you do a taper so that way it looks more fresh and clean so for that Little dark spot right there.   I have my my dying And this is a cordless outliner. Yes, you guys can see it is dying because it is red But hey, whatever it's gonna cut the hair still so um make sure that the ball line is straight So I am kind of doing a low wish Ball taper so I'm not trying to make my ball line too high I'm just kind of bringing it low. It's kind of funky right now. It'll come together. Trust me. So Make sure that it is nice and straight. There you guys go. So we're gonna set that first guideline with the cordless wall magic clips my favorite clippers as of recently, okay Yes, the that that first guideline is a little bit too big I Mean but we can work with it you guys, right? We can do it. Of course we can because we're barbers. We can make anything happen We're our teasts So make sure that that guideline is straight Don't make it too hard up in there. I am flicking up as I get to the top. So here we go So I did close that thing up at the bottom I'm gonna eventually go halfway then open You know, don't you know not to go past that that dark spot because we made that with an open So close it and then halfway and that's how you play with it So that way it can blend into that open lever you guys so make sure you use the corners brush down the hair a lot And you guys said so the second guideline We are doing our number one guard and we're making it about a half an inch Somebody in my recent comments was saying oh dude, that's not a half an inch. That's like two inches, man Who cares man? Yes, the cut still coming out nicely, okay, okay Just don't do the guideline two inches, but it wasn't two inches in my defense. It was not so that guy can go But make the guideline by happiness is not really making it to I mean, it's not really making like a hard line right there because for some reason His hair is darker in the back. So it's not really like that much of a hard line is shit But make sure that the guideline is straight again brush down as accordingly and yeah So we got our zero guard here and we're doing the lever all the way open just to see what that Lever or the guard is going to do so it is enlightening it up some So we're gonna continue to have the lever open and then close that thing up just to lighten up even more And that's when the blending comes in and everything, you know, so So you go open halfway close you play with the lever just don't go past that dark spot up on top You guys know this already if you guys been cutting hair for a while if you got don't go past that top because you will make the The fade or the taper go higher and higher and we don't want that So don't go above that part that dark spot and you guys should be pretty good If you guys don't go above that dark spot So we're basically gonna be doing the same steps as the back taper So I'm just want to explain that I am doing a low taper right here Because we are doing a low taper I'm making the ball line. I'm gonna arch it a little bit kind of like a That kind of curve it just so I can I can give it kind of that burst look because I am doing a low taper So I'm gonna do a lineup on the sides the little hook So it make it easier that way and also it is the foundation You know the ball line so make sure that it is nice and straight Using our magic clips right here We're using the corners to make in that guideline because in a taper you want to be very precise and using the corners Makes the haircut more precise so we are arching the The guideline we're just basically following the guideline from what we did with the ball line because so that way it can Have that burst look so we arch it a little bit and then we're using the corners because we do not want to make Well, we kind of want to You know use the corner so it makes it more archy. So We're gonna eventually end up closing it right there. Yes, we're closing it and then halfway and open Just don't go past that dark spot and you guys should be good So we have our number one guard here and now we're gonna do another guideline about The same half an inch. It's not really gonna really make a Hard line so use the corners you guys same steps as before So we'll be blending in that bottom part right there. What I just pointed with with my finger We have a zero guard. We have it all the open so We're gonna be using the corners We're blending in to basically everything what we just we did and it's gonna all come together especially after the zero guard because that is the finishing touch and Like you guys are seeing I am using the the corners It's also it's also good to move the ear around so that way, you know cut the ear done it before it sucks So this is one of like kind of like one of the most Important parts of this haircut because you kind of want this part to be perfect and when I mean perfect I mean So you want to make sure that the arch fits the taper and you also want to make sure that it is crispy and What not so I am using my My ti liners to make that a crispy line so Just if you guys don't know how to make an arch all you got to do is just really put your Index or whatever finger and it's kind of curve it boom one motion curve it one motion So I'm doing the hairline here His hairline was a little tricky I am not gonna lie because it's kind of a patchy and it doesn't really want to lay down So his hairline was probably the hardest that I've probably had to do because of Just the way that it laid down. It was really hard.

TfNN, headline, news update. Hello everyone, Basel Chapman here, the author of the opening call newsletter and the host of the Tiger Technicians Hour, noon to 1 p.m. Eastern time. We're looking at the Dow down 100 points at 27,938. We're looking at the S&P and this is going to be quite important because the S&P is holding up a little bit better than the Dow has home deeper, which is down about 12 points. And S&P is down $1.64, 3,120 Dow and the S&P made all-time highs today. And at this particular stage, what we're really looking at is, can the S&P hold above 3,100 to 3,087 over the next week and a half, those are going to be key support levels. The QQQ actually is holding quite nicely, it's up 33 cents at 203.40, even more important, it's above resistance and the key support now is at 2 or 1.50 to 200.50 and also at an all-time high. IWM, having a better day today than the others, up 80 cents at 1.5932 up a half a percent. This is good, but it really needs to get from 1.5930, it needs to push into the 1.60-1.50 area to say, hey, now I'm leading the pack, I'm on my way. And this particular point is just holding okay, it's not really leading other than today it is. And Gold, which had a very strong move in today, yesterday, is up $3 at $14.75, it's kind of in a range and that range says that if we could start to trade above $14.83, $14.89 to $14.92, that would be very good action, we'd better hold $14.60 on any pullback. And the dollars has been stuck in the dollar rooms here, it's kind of stuck at the $97.70 range. Hey, what's interesting is Crude Oil had a very sharp turnaround today, it's down $1.57 to $55.56. Normally, I look at this and say, hey, that's part of the economic picture as well. So it's a bit of a pullback here, got to watch it because if it starts trading in the $54, that's going to be something quite important to say that Crude Oil is not really leading economically, it's not saying maybe there's just too much oil around, we don't know. And the TLT is having a big move to the upside today, it's up $1.18, $139.19, this is a good breakout, but what's really important is that can the TLT bonds, can it stream up to the 141, 142 area as the market pulls back or is it going to start pulling back a little bit as money stays going back into stocks and money is not being, not migrating from the volatility of stocks into the so-called safety of bonds. It's going to be a very interesting week going into Friday's close. That was down 111 right now.


Can I teach English abroad if I have children? It is certainly possible to travel overseas and work as an English language teacher if you have children. However, there are several things to consider before deciding whether it is the right option for you and your family.   As pay levels vary greatly from one region to the next, where you plan to teach is one of the most important decisions you will have to make. Europe and Latin America are both very popular destinations for ESL teachers, but it is not easy to earn enough to support more than one person in these regions. In contrast, across Asia there are several countries such as China, South Korea, Taiwan and Japan, where a mix of high salaries and a lower cost of living make it possible to comfortably support a child on a single teacher's pay. Education If your child is preschool age, you will need to consider the cost of daycare or the services of a nanny while you are at work. Once again, these are likely to be much more affordable in Asia than in Europe. Those with school age children also need to thoroughly research the options available in the country they are heading for. In some, it is feasible to enroll a child in a local public school, while in others it is not. If it is possible to enroll your child in a local school, you still need to consider whether it is a suitable environment. Those who speak the local language should find it relatively easy to adapt. However, for most children it will mean rapidly learning the language in order to fit into unfamiliar surroundings. This might be realistic for young children who often find it easy to pick up a foreign language, but for teenagers it could be much more difficult. In countries where local schools are not an option, a British or American-based international school is generally the only alternative. While these offer a high standard of education, the cost is likely to be beyond an average teacher's salary. Medical Many of the most affordable destinations for teaching English abroad are in developing nations, where local health care options may not be of the standard you are used to back home. However, in many cases local medical facilities are of a good standard and very affordable, so it is up to you to research your chosen area. In certain countries it is standard practice to provide health insurance as part of a teacher's contract, and some employers also provide insurance for dependents. If you successfully apply for a job that has you and your family covered, it could make a big difference financially and provide great peace of mind. Visas If you are able to secure a job that includes a work visa, then you should find that your child is eligible for some form of dependent visa. In countries where work visas are hard to secure, teachers often work on a simple tourist visa that needs to be renewed every three months. While this is common practice for many, teachers with children need to check with the authorities to confirm whether their child is eligible to attend public school without a long term visa.

Yeah, I don't I don't you know, well, we'll make sure it's shared. We try to take care of You know EWTNs our host and We we always try to make sure we have permission to do stuff like that. Definitely. Yeah All right, so folks just for the audience You're not gonna want miss the show, you know, we just did a show on Carlo Qtis and I'm the new book on him, which is amazing by a father will conquer. We will never forget his name EWTN religious catalog will conquer father will conquer Carlo Qtis. Yeah, he's gonna conquer and so it It's cool. It's divine providence. I was gonna say divine coincidence Divine providence that we're talking today because obviously you two are on the same Track and hopefully you're becoming a saint. So hang out with us In a minute folks and we'll talk to Ray about a movie on Eucharistic miracles, which I'm pretty excited about and We have a couple of well, I want to say to one thing that's not on this list so We are doing something I'm pretty excited about and that is we have a young adults group in a pustuli VA called firelight and If you are struggling like a lot of parishes don't have young adult groups They're kind of 18 to 35 is the yeah that group. They have young they have youth, right? I don't have the young adults necessarily, right? That is a gaping wound It's one of the good. That's a good word good phrase It's one of the most neglected categories and we're we're always Stupidly surprised that people leave the church after they get confirmed and things like that, but um The so we started a group that is now a worldwide group of on fire lit up glow in the dark young Catholics and it's called firelight and We're gonna start a study in Advent on Carlo acutus Really? Yeah, so on using the book by father will conquer that guy is amazing If you ever met him Ray or I haven't He so we did the interview. He's in Cambodia. So he's like a serious real, you know, yeah Right, so he's in Cambodia and it was really tough because we had connection issues as you might imagine Mm-hmm and our editor I think lost Lost Oliver Harris. She was getting so ready for you to be tuned But anyway, one of the most articulate young priest reminds me he's nothing like father Mike Smith but kind of in that category of Clear thinker powerful, you know, it's crazy. It's good that he's in Cambodia There's no doubt about that because it's a missionary priest But it's sort of crazy that he's hidden in Cambodia, you know Oh, yeah Instead of out in front of everybody here in the United States in the and the Western world that so desperately needs new fire But anyway, we're starting that group. So if you want to I mean the group's been start has started We're starting the study Wow, my English just went out the door. So Apostoli VA org producer, can you put that URL up for us? Apostoli VA org and There's three steps to getting into that group one go to a possibly be a creative profile to You'll need to do the introductory video series. The reason is it's because it's like a digital monastery It's private social media, but we don't allow people to act like they do on Facebook or Twitter or anything like that You have to kind of treat it like you're headed into a real monastery Because everybody's treated with dignity and respect. It's totally safe place and Then the third is once you once you do the Orientation videos then your profile will be approved and then you can go get into the firelight group And you'll need to do that pretty quick and I want grandparents and parents out there To reach out to their young to reach out to their young adults and send them to apostoli VA org for this study and to meet other good Holy, you know young adults who were who were running after Jesus with all that God. So Dan, can I add something there? Yeah, please. So I met my wife because my grand my grandfather tried to play a little wingman for me and So if there's any parents or grandparents out there that are like, oh, you know My son or daughter would probably be so upset that I did this. It's worth a shot, you know, right worth a shot All right, why don't we jump Do any of that or you want to do that at the break? I'll do it the break. Okay. I already talked too much Okay, okay. You ready to roll mr. P man on your mark. Holy Spirit. Yeah get set go This is Dan of Stephanie Burke. Welcome to divine intimacy radio Your radio Haven abreast your hermitage of the heart Your monastery of the mind where we lift our hearts and minds to heaven To draw strength from on high because man, do we need it? Are you not gonna comment about that, you know, listen We yes, we both need it, right? Yeah, if you can tell I'm coming back alive I had a had a brief medical issue and today is my first day really back even though I've been home for a week But praise be Jesus Christ be Jesus right again He just keeps taking me to the hospital to say, you know what? You are not in control and you need to just slow down and you need to listen to me more So I'm I'm fine with that. So we have a guy on that we actually this is so bizarre I'm so excited to talk about Eucharistic Miracles and science today. That's that's like topic, right? Beautiful, but ray And I'm gonna mess up your last name Grisalba Grisalba Grisalba. I can't do the Hispanic accent It's so beautiful. Right. So ray last time we met was where we were at mass it was a Friday night and we went to daily mass at a church in Paris, Kentucky and We were there and one of my friends was like that's Dan Burke and I was like no way like why would Dan Burke be in Paris, Kentucky? it's at a random Friday mass and So sure enough that I saw but I was like, wow So I have a one of my hobbies is chasing people down after mass, you know to introduce myself I've actually met like all of my friends do that.  We got a picture and it was a small world, you know Awesome, and it was a private mass too, wasn't it? Yeah, there was probably like 15 people Right. God's providence, right? Exactly. Exactly. Awesome. What was the delight to meet you face to face and Indeed, I'm excited about this new project. Stephanie. You want to Yeah, absolutely. So Ray My wife likes to show up her latino Is the writer of a new movie on Eucharistic miracles which shares the truth of the Eucharist by looking into the science of these miracles through stories Through personalities through all kinds of things. There's a great Trailer for it and then we'll drop into the notes for the for the show Anyway, so ray, can you tell us a little bit more about yourself that our bios a little shallow on you? Yes, of course.  Yeah, who are you and how did you come to do such an amazing Be in charge of such an amazing project You know, it's so funny when I was at the tomb of carlo a couple months ago That thought came to me is like, why would god pick me and because i'm just a normal guy So I uh, I studied engineering materials engineering specifically I went to the university of kentucky. I now work for locky martin not an engineering anymore But my mind has always been oriented in that way And uh, so I just have a youtube channel and made a video on Eucharistic miracles And our director angelo luputi has worked out in hollywood for almost 35 years And messaged me on instagram and said hey ray, let's make a movie on Eucharistic miracles And it's all started from there. So really, uh It's really such a great blessing and i'm so grateful to be going on this journey and uh to share that with you guys today Awesome, awesome Now, uh, we just did a show on carlo acutus recently father will conquer's book on the topic and uh We're we're we were excited to see you were up next. I didn't realize you were right You were up right after that which is kind of a crazy providence But is he behind some of the inspiration? regarding Regarding the uh, the this project he is so it's funny because uh, carlo is two years older than me So very close to age. I know isn't that amazing a saint two years older than you. I know I know You're like you're like 15, right exactly. Yeah No So, uh, seriously, how old are you because I didn't I've never for whatever reason with the whole show We didn't talk about how old carlo was when he died. How old are you? I'm 28 and how old was carlo when he died. Was he 30 then he was 15 He was 15 when he died Oh, I see. Yeah, we're talking about years born. Yes. I got you. He would have been 30 now Exactly, isn't that it's it's just so weird like when I looked At his at the date on his tomb I saw the date and I was like, wow Like it's just so bizarre to think that there are people my age and like my age Is it quite known for a zealous love of christ, you know, right? To think that there is a blessed out there Uh, there's so many others that we just don't even know and hopefully this movie will tap into some of them that, uh Will will really help ignite the church again, you know You know, you say you're just a a normal guy It's fascinating because every when I when we go to public events and people Of of substance sometimes who don't know us ask us, you know, usually what is your background? Which usually is what is your pedigree or, you know, how did you get into what you got into? And really the I always tell people don't look under the hood. It's not pretty I'm not qualified for a single thing I do, but isn't that the way God works, you know You get an engineer from Lockheed Martin Um, who's uh, who's on fire for the faith and is moved by Eucharistic miracles.  He qualifies the call, right? Yeah, he equips the call Yes, and it's funny. You say that because uh, so many of the players in this movie the doctors that analyze the miracle themselves You know, they're just normal doctors, you know, all of these doctors that we interviewed Um that that goes into one of the the claims of authenticity is like these doctors are still working It's not like they made up this fake Research and now they're millionaires and they're just sitting at home all day You know, they had to ask their boss if we could go in to interview them and all of this stuff So these are just people that are, you know Using the gifts God gave them and the talents God gave them and uh, just objectively looking at this and finding these results that are Uh, I think pretty impressive What I love about that is it's it's a real time application of what we're all called to do, right? So we're wherever we are whatever we uh, whatever our giftings or our talents or You know, God is in all of it. He uses all of it and if we will just give it over to him He can do miracles, right? And so that's just so incredibly beautiful Exactly. So just pause for one second for editing purposes. I paused the clock This monitor is going to go out any minute.  You don't have to solve it Do you know how to solve it? Okay, yeah, hold on one minute ray. We're We like it's easier if we see you, uh, but there's not enough juice going to the To a screen in order to keep it live. So we're at seven minutes. I'll come back I'll just mention that we're on with with you. Okay Well, during the do we want to talk about marketing? Oh, yeah, go ahead and do that while we're while we're kind of So, um while we're at the short break to deal with technical difficulties. I want to remind everybody Um that there are a couple of courses at avala institute that you're not going to want to miss Uh, the first one is introduction to spiritual theology And it's a systemic presentation of spiritual theology and the principles of spiritual direction And it's geared towards personal appropriation for those involved in the apostolate So this is a really really great class.  So if that sounds a little sleepy to you Um, the professor will light it up with the holy spirit. I know from personal experience And that's father ignatius switzer and he's just phenomenal. This is a graduate level course The other one is unleashing the power of intercessory prayer And god be praised. This is um by our own staff member And this is dr. Joseph holcraft. He's also the director of the high calling program For the avala institute and this is his beautiful book and he's going to be talking about how um, we will set out to underscore the importance of intercessory prayer the power of it um defining the language of prayer and how we can share in this Powerful call that the lord has called us to because we are all called to intercede for one another So how do you unleash that power?  All right, so I think hopefully we have a solution And we're going to jump back into the show what i'm going to do is I'm going to just say again, you know, we're with rey grijalba I guess right grijalba. Yes. Okay. I'll be praised and then um, Uh, you want to uh, sure take the question. Okay, and your mark gets it go Friends we're with rey grijalba talking about an important project that we wanted to bring to your attention on eucharistic miracles and the science Behind them. I know stephanie you had a question Yeah, and so i'm going to go back to something dan mentioned. So you mentioned that you recently We're talking about how you were a couple years Yeah, i'm younger two years younger than lesa carlo acutus. So how Did he contribute to this film like what is his purpose and you know, how has he inspired you in this whole process? so, uh He is our patron saint for the movie him and padre apio are the the men that have really helped push this And it's it's just crazy. Um, I don't know if we'll have time, but I want to share how we met carlo's mom Are you guys cool with that? Yeah, go ahead. Okay, so angelo is from san givani rotundo His godfather was padre apio's assistant for 25 years. So They are well connected there. I was really amazed when I heard that because padre apio is my favorite saint and uh He reached out to all the franciscans. He knew and everyone in italy and still couldn't get in touch with carlo's mom One day his uh friend who doesn't even practice the faith anymore Messaged angelo, which they hadn't talked in years and said hey angelo My cousin is a franciscan and he is really good friends with carlo's mom So I thought I would want to connect you guys Would you be interested in that and he's like, of course, you know Like if this is what we basically give it up and carlo's mom has been phenomenal she has you know, she's the course in the movie and uh, it was really amazing because We were only supposed to have you know, maybe an hour or so with her But we met and she speaks english really well, which I was so grateful for She has twins. I also I have twins as well And uh, you know, I shared how he was just a few years older than me So it was such a special thing to be with the mother of a saint, you know And and to have that time and and to understand the the depth of knowledge she has about the faith It was just incredible. So she's been a really big patron of the movie In our app that we're going to launch we're actually going to have the animated series that she created Where carlo basically narrates these miracles. It's it's going to be really amazing. So but To go back to how carlo's involved in all this So about A year and a half ago now I started to look into these eucharistic miracles because One of my things is because of my like, I guess science-based mind I don't want to believe something unless I have like seen the data and uh, I'm impressed by that, you know And maybe that's a little too skeptical for some people But I just don't like sharing things that I haven't validated if that makes sense Yeah, so I know and like not to not to say like people that like easily accept things like that shouldn't happen because That it is also beautiful when you just share things and people like wow versus like, you know being closed But I wanted to find the actual documents for these eucharistic miracles So what I did was I went to carlo's, you know website and read all of these things found all these doctors and probably emailed about 30 of them I just you know looked for their names tried to find their emails I was able to get in touch with several of them And I was able to ask them firsthand these questions So the men that actually analyze and women that actually analyzed these and wrote these reports what they saw decades later so that was priceless and Another area where carlo was looking out was the doctor that really uh Basically did the medical review of the video that I did his name is franco seraphine He's actually putting out a book soon with sophia institute press on these miracles in english and he wrote this book in italian and it basically was the first ever medical review of these miracles where he He went into such great detail with all the medical jargon things that of course were over my head And I was like this is exactly what I was looking for But uh, I found him in this documentary sygney, which the the vatican press had put out I it came from italy And uh, I I ordered it four times three times I got lost in the mail Wow, and I almost gave up But I'm so glad I didn't Because I saw him in that documentary and reached out to him and he's been Such a great help connecting me with other doctors the doctor in poland, of course He connects me with and all of these things that wouldn't have happened Like it would have been such less of an impressive Uh video and less accurate video without his review and the way he got involved was it with it was carlo's mom said Hey, dr. Sarafini, I hear you're writing a book. Can you be in this documentary? So all of these things, you know that carlo has uh helped orient through the grace of god has been amazing So I couldn't do any of this without him and we see this movie as like the next step In in his journey that if if he had the ability to work with, you know Great directors and producers then he would have created a movie like this that hopefully will change the world We're with uh ray grehalba talking about an upcoming movie on eucharistic miracles When we get back from the break, we'll make sure you get all the details on how you can support the film And uh, maybe you can tell us a little bit about ideas about distribution or whatever we can do To help you get this thing Where it needs to go so that as many people can see it as possible Very excited, uh, we'll be right back The ability to put it up on Yeah Live screen live stream only yeah, so they can just see it visually or see the name of it Okay, maybe you can type in the name of it What is the url ray? Uh eucharistic miracles movie.com. That's pretty easy. All right. Well, let's go.  Stephanie Burke. Welcome back to divine intimacy radio or with ray grehalba talking about uh eucharistic miracle movie That he's working on We're very excited about uh ray. Just so I don't forget. What is the url for folks to find out more about the movie? It's eucharistic miracles movie.com Eucharistic miracles movie.com. That's correct. That's very very cool So what do you know how you're gonna get this thing out there? So it's one thing to get it done, right? So you need funding to get it done. I'm assuming right? Yes. Yes, and then you're gonna need funding for distribution So tell us a little bit about that process and you know, how our listeners can pray for you or support you or whatever Yeah, so dan, do you mind first if I do like a quick minute or two synopsis on the plot of the story? Oh, please Yeah, sorry, that's a great that's better start. Yes, and then go, you know, great. So, uh, you know The the beautiful thing about eucharistic miracles is that they are such a great You know pointer into the truth of the eucharist, right? Um, what do do eucharistic miracles prove that you know, this transubstantiation into the body and blood of christ Not a hundred percent proof, right? Right, but it points us in that direction because if there were proof, right? If it was if it was conclusive, there'd be no faith involved Yes, beyond a reasonable doubt is a good legal standard, right? Exactly. So What we're trying to do in this movie is to point people to the eucharist and uh, so it's going to be a A combination of many things. So I'm the main actor in the movie I interview everyone and whatnot, but what's really exciting is that we're going to have live action filming So just this past saturday, we had almost 300 people in california dressed up as first century jews To reenact the bread of life discourse And it was so priceless to see our actor that plays jesus Say unless you eat the flesh of the senate man and drink his blood you have no life in you And to see the crowds leave and just yell blasphemy And and to see him turn and say do you also wish to leave? You know That that to me is the most exciting scene and it was phenomenal to see this past weekend That's powerful. You know one of the things that gets to me about that is I I'm a jew So I actually came to I'm still am a jew Catholic if you will but I came to faith In part by an argument proposed by simon greenleaf who is the the primary Well, how would you say it was the highest level of scholarship for harvard university law school On evidences and then he he actually converted Because he was I think it was an atheist I read the book solango It's called the testimony the four witnesses because he decided to use his standards for evidence And to put Matthew mark luke and john on the on the on the witness stand And gauged their testimony against his his standards and it actually convinced him to become a christian And I did the same And so I like I like your approach because there are a lot of people like me and you Who are really messed up and have trouble getting to faith? I shouldn't have said it that way Who who are overly intellectual? Let's just say that Um, or very much oriented that way and have to Get their mind oriented to faith properly speaking. Does that make sense? Is that kind of what you're looking for here? Yeah, yeah, so we're trying to weave in several Themes so that people from whatever background will be interested in this and moved in their own ways So for people that don't even care about faith the storyline of me and my wife and my sons Will hopefully encourage them because I go on this journey because she challenges me You know, we see all the people leaving the faith and that encouraged me to look into miracles Then we also have the scriptural side where we have the live-action filming Which everyone of course will be really excited to see but those that you know Maybe atheists are not really into faith May have never seen this before or heard of John 6 or whatever so We're and then of course the science side for those that are that are you know Drawn to that So we're weaving this in so that no matter who you know We all have people that have left the faith or not interested in the faith You can share this movie with them and be like hey check this out. Let me know what you think We're doing it in a way that's very tasteful so it's not like I'm going to turn people off really quick because That is I guess that's that's probably where the most grace could come or the most conversions could come in the subtle Details that really allow the holy spirit to reach into someone's life and say hey Maybe you should look at this and the exciting thing is when this movie's done in the in the credits We're going to have you know, those speakers like dr. Han Dr. Stacey Tristankos from Catholic Answers all these people Father Calloway They're resources so people can go deeper that this movie sends you forth It's not just like oh that was a great movie and you know, that's it it encourages you to go farther I love that you're being so complete with this You know every kind of the intellect the gospel of course has power in and of itself, right? So the proc the words of jesus have power You know just all the family story It's really I think inspired it feels inspired to me It does to me as well. And I really love that you're you're really taking a A whole picture of completeness An educator's approach to this in in making sure that when they experience This powerful message that they have somewhere to go like what do I do now? You know when my heart set on fire my my mind is inspired Something's stirring in me. What do I do with that? And and to provide those resources is just such Such an important thing because I'll tell you the the darkness is extreme There are a lot of people that are lost there are a lot of parents grandparents that are aching because their loved ones have left the church and left the faith and God bless you for stepping into that breach and Doing what you're inspired to do through the inspiration of blessed carlo and his family his mother and All of these beautiful ways that that he's Bringing the details, you know god's always in those details and You know and god be praised. We ran into you at a mass in paris kentucky So The lord's doing a mighty thing. That's awesome. Yeah So back to One aspect of the question. I want to make sure we get in here ray Is doing this kind of work one filming is expensive travel and all that it's necessary and good And then distribution is can be challenging. What what's your strategy in those areas? Or what do you need and how can folks help you? Yeah, so the hardest part is We we budgeted for this pre covid times or sorry during covid times where The cost to get support in hollywood was really cheap And locations were really cheap like this weekend. It was you know initially going to be $2,000 But it actually came out to like $26,000. Wow for one day So we like we don't have the funds to finish the movie right now We don't even have the funds to finish the live action filming right now So any tax Deductible donations would be super appreciated because what we want to do for distribution is we're going to create this app called corpus Which we hope becomes the eucharist app that Has everything in there that you can learn and love about the eucharist So of course the movie, but then those items mentioned the animations from carlo's mom But what i'd really like to do and this is only if we get enough donations is to put it on youtube with ads You know, of course, so there's there's the way to like pay the actors and things like that on the back end But in the app it'll be you know for free, but you got to pay, you know to watch it like no ads there Yeah, sort of like what was that the chosen's doing? Yeah. Yeah, so like forward Yeah, exactly so you can watch it on youtube with ads right or you can go watch it on the app and pay for it With no ads so you know basically that kind that concept will also have the pay it forward model there Um, but what we you know the question is is like will your fallen away children watch? Pay 399 to rent a movie On the eucharist probably not, you know, but will they watch it on youtube? probably so Yeah, we're supposed to media something platform Exactly and that's that's how these things go viral, you know like the mass unveiled that was beautiful I mean it got a million views and like you know a couple months or something like that So we're hoping to put it on there and then people can see this movie for free Um and and share it and it'll really you know, hopefully reach millions through that that avenue Yeah, I don't want to put a shout out to all the other catholic radio hosts and things like matt frad and Yes, whoever you haven't been on with yet. Y'all ought to have him on That'd be great. It's really important for our time I I think um, you know in our time. We're so media driven. We're not so much apologetics driven, but I think Sometimes apologetics can be that last step to you know get us over the edge Which is more for me. It was my even my convert my conversion to Catholicism Was certainly rooted in history and ecclesiology and the fathers But it was also rooted in the doctors and the mystical tradition And so we need what I love about you what you're doing is I think it'll touch All the it'll fire on all the right cylinders of people Getting engaged. Yeah, and and I want to call I want to do a shout out to all the grandparents and parents out there Yeah, because I know a lot of people that are suffering You know, I've been because of their kids their grandkids that have left the faith and and you know They'll often say will you pray for my child? You know, I see it everywhere. I've done it I've gone to priests and religious and and holy people said please pray for my child Yeah, and we all know that ache and then sometimes we think well, what else can I do, you know Once we've prayed and we're fasting and we're sacrificing and we're offering masses and every rosary is We're begging our lady to bind our children to their to her immaculate heart Go invest in something like this save somebody else's child Right put your money there to help Set the world on fire to help bring other souls back And and hopefully those graces will just pour out. We know that they will the graces multiply And so it gives us something Concrete that we can do when we feel like we don't know what else to do and ray I'm going to make a commitment right here at live and it's not a virtue signaling thing It's more of a challenge thing. We're going to donate to your project. Stephanie now. Yeah Thank you And and as substantive as we can make it we want to challenge everybody out because of what they call that Stephanie just made And how important this is out there. So we're going to donate How do people where do people go to donate to you? So if you go to eucharisticmiraclesmovie.com, uh, then there's a slash donate But you just click the donate button and then we're partnered with catholic connect So they're a nonprofit. So all donations are tax-disruptible and uh, you know, I really want to You know focus in on that because why have so many people left the faith?  Like it was funny at the beginning I was joking. I was like, man, this is going so well I hope I don't get cancer when this is done and then things started to go horribly and I was like I'm definitely not getting cancer after this You know re if I can give you some advice you should be praying exilium christian norm every day if you're not already Oh, I need to yeah father rippergers in the movie. So he'll He'll yeah, he'll be he'll be he'll appreciate the shout out. Yeah. Yeah, he's been praying a lot if that means anything Awesome. Well, we're we're out of time Regal bro Grehalba Has to rescue me Eucharistic miracles movie.com Really important for our time. Please go out and support him And uh, we're out. That's it. We're gonna close the show and we can answer questions after the show But okay live stream So until next time may the god of peace make you perfect in holiness May he preserve you whole and entire spirit soul and body Irreproachable at the coming of our lord, jesus christ. Amen. Amen. All right, jordan. We have any questions No questions Okay, no worries Ray, I want to ask you something else. Don't take us off the air. Yeah Okay, um, would you mind popping into firelight for us and uh, you know, I wanted the When we're talking about doing the carlo acutus study Would you mind at some point just dropping in Definitely Or the penners the fenners. I'm sorry. Amy Is saying hey from they're out in Goodland, kansas. Anyway, um So, uh, yeah, we'd love to have you talk to the young adult group and uh Angel is saying on hell blessed carlo acutus pray for us. Yes, please But folks, uh, we'd ask you to pray for for ray. But ray. Yeah, we'd love to have you drop in on that study at some point Just to tell us tell the young adults at apostolate va.org Yes, definitely what you're doing on this project I would be happy to and dan, would you mind if I share a little more? Uh about the movie. So yeah, yeah, we're gonna have john six, of course We did the feeding of the five thousand Uh, we're gonna do the uh, you know the story of st. Tarsisius Yeah, just to show he was willing to die for the eucharist Um The exodus and the Passover the correlation between the two So, you know, like the jesus and the jewish roots of the eucharist. Yeah to really hit on that that that was a mindblower for me Yeah And then we of course, we'll do the last upper like the catholic perspective of it And then the road to Emmaus, which dr. Ham was really excited about oh very cool And what i'm excited about for that one is, you know, it said their eyes were opened at the breaking of the bread Yeah, so uh, one of the the things we plan on doing is when he disappears It pans down to the bread and the bread illumines because now he's there So just these like subtle things that aren't like And now the eucharist is the bread that he you know, like it's just like things that are very artistic and are like Whoa, you know these these are all the things that angelo and you know his experience working on the avengers and the new Lion King all these movies he's had this Perspective that just I think really hits to the heart of a lot of us Awesome. Awesome. Well, will you have our prayers and support? and uh God be with you and I mean that not in a just a surface expression No, no, we're going to be praying for the success of this beautiful Project go out and see the trailer at Eucharistic Miracles movie.com. It looks great. I mean it's already has a beautiful feel Um, a beautiful artistic feel. It's it's I'm so excited for this for you So I will be praying for you.  All right ray. God bless you. Thanks for being with us. All right. Thank you guys for having me on God Bless.


A little breakfast on the patio. Don't mind if I do some cheesecake. Don't mind if I do it all. That's how we do it on Memorial Day. Honoring those who fell serving this country, protecting this country. Thank you so that we can sit on our patio and eat cheesecake in the morning. Man! Alright, cruise into Ace. Cruise into Home Depot. Cruise into O'Tools. Getting stuff done. And then party numero tres this afternoon.  Here we go. Walked out of Ace. Empty-handed. Walked out empty-handed. The price was a little high on those clamps and they only had one so that's no good. I need probably eight so anyway. It's going to be very very close. I don't know if this is gonna fit around the beam in the carport. To hold up the lights. Give a shot though. Not bad, not bad. Good little stop at Home Depot and we'll take it. You know how I like to support the small guys. The little hardware stores and flower shops. So that's why I'm headed to O'Tools and not stopping to buy flowers and roses at Home Depot. And O'Tools just has better customer service and frankly better flowers. They last longer from my past experience. I'm speaking from experience here. Alright, gonna go and try and find one rose bush at O'Tools. So about two years ago I noticed the grass was starting to turn into crab grass in some areas. Do you guys know what crab grass is? It's no good. It still looks like this. It's still kind of soft but it just eventually it'll take over your entire yard. Just a tip of the day so you got to be careful. But basically I got to dig all this up. Replace it with the good stuff. Easy seed from Scots. I find it to be the most reliable grass seed out there. But man it just over time it will take over your yard. Just saying. Swing by your local volumar gate to pick up a bird. Researchers work with doctors. They should flip. It should be Ben Camel, which we're used to saying and we just say rather than Camel. But the other way is just my brain is going. What are you doing? Alright so here's the situation. When you're pulling out the crab grass and you hear the roots literally you know releasing from the soil. It sounds like you're cracking or popping your knuckles. You know that sound when you like going. Can you hear that? That's what it sounds like because there's few roots. The roots are not spread out nicely. It's like there's three or four good roots. But it's bad grass, bad bad grass and the camera's falling. Yard is done for now. We'll work on it later. Going to Kevin and Brianna's. Thank you again for having us over on Memorial Day. Alright, here we go. Picnic numero 3 for the weekend. We'll see how much I film. A little bee ball outside Kevin's house. Joseph, how's your burger? You want to say thank you, Mr. Kevin. Say we appreciate your home, your beautiful home and your family. Can't top that. I'm just gonna stop. That's a story for adults. Our party in animals. Thank you Kevin and Brianna for having us over and so fun. We love you and we're gonna come back and we're gonna use your pool. And question of the day. Do you sleep? You have to be there to understand the context of the question of the day. But basically do you sleep with your feet tucked into the sheets or out of the sheets? We had a little controversy at the picnic, the Memorial Day picnic, just about 10 minutes ago. So that is the question of the day. Feet tucked in or not tucked in? Otherwise known as feet trapped or feet free? Seat beauty. Work hard and love.


There is a small numerical that's there. Let me project it on the screen. Just give me one moment You can see this Yes, sir. So in current is 10, what's the voltage? When current is 10 see It's 0.8 and when current is 20 the voltage is 0.9 Okay, what sorry when When the when the current is 10 it is 0.7 and when current is 20 it is 0.8 So first answer is 10 ohms On the next picking Yes, sir others How more what is your answer message? Okay, so For the first game See at 15 milli ampere I need to get the value of resistance Okay, now here it is rapidly changing curve Okay, so that is why I'm trying to find here Dynamic resistance delta V by delta I so delta V across 15 milli ampere is 20 minus 10 that is 10 milli ampere or that is delta I sorry Delta I is 10 into 10 is so minus 3 That is 10 is so minus 2 and Delta V is 0.8 minus 0.7. That is 0.1 Okay, so 0.1 divided by 10 is so minus 2 it will come out to be 10 ohms fine Understood Okay, now let's see with respect to minus 10 volts now for minus 10 volt You can see that whatever you do current almost remains minus 1 micro ampere only Okay, so dynamic resistance Delta V by delta I You will get that to be infinite And that is in a way true also it is it close to infinite because changing voltage is not changing the current Okay, so rather than finding the dynamic resistance We can you know give a rough estimate about how much is a ratio between voltage and current over here Fine, so that will be 10 divided by 10 is so minus 6. It will come out to be tennis for 7 ohms Fine So when it comes to reverse bias in that zone where the curve is flat you just take a ratio of voltage and current because Delta I is close to zero and You can't have Delta V by Delta I that becomes indeterminate. All right, so let us move to next topic So till now we have only learned about How this PN junction actually functions, okay Now we are going to learn about the application of the PN junction we are going to learn about some of the instruments that we can make out of the Characteristic what we have observed just now VI characteristics so this is a very special characteristic and you will slowly understand why The behavior of voltage and current the way it is shown here is very special Okay, and we can exploit it in many different ways So first first application of PN junction is as a rectifier fine Do you know what is rectifier? No idea So rectifier is a device that converts alternating current into direct current Are you hearing rectified terms for the first time in your life? You already learned fine, so we are going yes, I'm hope that's correct fine, so first We are going to learn about the Half-wave rectifier. What is half a rectifier? Why it is called half a rectifier? This thing will be clear when we discuss this particular Device okay, let's first see the construction of half a rectifier Yes, this is how it will look like all of you draw it with me the almost every Device which you use at your home it Actually runs on DC only okay your TV your fridge What happens inside the TV of fridge or radio whatever you use Inside it there will be a rectifier that converts your AC current into DC current Okay, then only that device runs So that is why this has a Good Importance and also when you put your mobile phone for charging okay You you use an adapter for computer also you have an adapter Find what does that adapter do that's adapt that adapter converts alternating current into direct current fine, so this is what this Rectifier device does it converts altering current into direct current Okay, so we are going to just look at the block diagram Of course the picture is not as simple as it looks but then we can at least understand the principle of how it works Draw it with me and also one more thing the transformer is One of the most integral part of any electronic circuit Okay, because from outside you supply 220 volt But then suppose as an output you just want 5 volt and 2 ampere So there has to be a transformer inside the device fine, but that that is why you know I am showing here this dotted line as A transformer this is not a transformer that is connected Outside your home. Okay. This is a transformer of a device only small transform will be there Okay, so this is primary circuit on the left hand side This dotted line encloses a transformer fine Then this one is a secondary coil secondary Okay, then you have point a and point b Across which you have connected a load resistance RL Okay, now the the primary input is nothing but your AC voltage Okay, so how the AC voltage will be it will be a sinusoidal curve which comes in your home It will vary like this Isn't it this is the primary voltage now Let's see what this load resistance will feel now this load resistance is your device Okay, suppose you're connecting mobile phone fine, so mobile phone is the load resistance Fine, so load resistance is an equipment So I am going to see what this load resistance will feel So let's define the sign convention first according to sign convention what I'm doing is I'm assuming that Whenever there is a positive cycle of the voltage. I am saying voltage of a is more than voltage of b Okay, and when it is a negative cycle voltage of b is more than a Fine like this I can denote Now tell me When it is positive cycle the diode is forward bias or reverse bias It is forward bias and and when it is in a negative cycle diode is in reverse bias Okay, so during the positive cycle It will conduct electricity Okay, and the current will go from x to y But when it comes to negative cycle the diode becomes Reverse bias and it no longer conducts electricity and I can say that no current to the load resistance Fine, so what I get the voltage across RL is something like this. I'll get this Then the middle section will be out Fine, so I'll get only positive cycle negative is gone Okay, and since The current is not reversing its direction. It remains positive only throughout. I can say that it is direct current fine, but then It is very lossy proposition because Half the power is readily lost Are you guys clear about it? Yes, sir. Yes, sir. Okay, so this is half a rectifier now Why to lose so much power Can we devise an instrument which converts entire cycle into direct current? Okay, so device that converts entire cycle into direct current that device is called full wave rectifier Okay, so in half a rectifier We have only one diode in full wave rectifier. We will have two diodes Okay, let's see how the construction of full wave full wave rectifier Will be Right down full wave rectifier So I'll just draw the circuit diagram first and then we'll discuss about it You can also draw with me. It had it has two diodes like this This is let's say diode one That is diode two There's dotted line It Encloses the transformer So there is a center tap that is there in the transformer So you basically take the feed from the middle of the coil from the secondary Secondary coil of the transformer from the center of it you take an input This is center tap Okay from the center tap Goes like this And you are connecting a load resistance like this This is X and that is Y Fine. Now, let's see how it functions So first I will draw the input Waveform for the voltage this is the input waveform okay, and Let me just draw an axis Here where I plot the output one so again the sign convention remains the same positive means forward bias and negative means reverse bias This positive that is Now, let's see here when it is a positive cycle Let's say this is point a This is point B and that is point C Can I say that VA is more than VC? Yes or no For a positive cycle is VA more than VC. Yes, sir Right that that's how we have you sign convention. So for negative cycle This is for positive cycle And for negative cycle VC is more than VA. Okay. This is for negative cycle Now, let's say there's a positive cycle that is going on hence diode number one will be forward bias and diode two will be reverse bias Okay, so the current when it goes on like this This path is closed because that is reverse bias diode the current will just travel like this and That's how it completes the loop In a positive cycle and when it comes to you know negative cycle Diode one becomes reverse bias. Okay, and diode two becomes forward bias in negative cycle we have VC more than VB so the current will go like this and It will again go from X to Y only and that's how it completes the loop Fine, so one thing you might have noticed here that no matter Whether it is positive cycle or negative cycle the current always Current always move from X to Y So what does it mean? Potential of X will be more than potential of Y all the time okay, so In both the cycles for sure negative VX is more than VY right, so the load is feeling a direct current in a way Fine, so that is the reason why you will see this kind of Voltage across the load any doubt so why so why do you connect to the ground? this one Yeah, see you have to take a reference somewhere. It's like Finding potential energy right an object at a height H The potential it is mgh, so you have assumed that it is zero potential energy the horizontal line So like that I I have to assume some potential to be zero in order to find out all the potentials Related to it. It's a common practice. It's Nothing too great about it just it just gives you a convenient way of Identifying the voltages fine They're answering Okay, so load resistance will always feel a positive voltage only This is the full wave rectifier because you have captured the entire wave and converted entire wave as direct current that Half a rectifier was incidental Rectifier because you have made alternating current into direct current just by removing the negative part of it But this is the actually a full working rectifier where you convert You know that also to to come out to be a direct current Right. So this is how you convert AC to DC using full rectifier But then even though the direction of current or voltage is not changing. This is not something which you desire okay, what you desire is You need a constant voltage a constant direct voltage you want Even though it is not fluctuating The voltage but then the magnitude of the voltage is keep on changing direction is not changing But the magnitude is changing. I want a constant magnitude Voltage right so in order to achieve that What we do is we connect a capacitor fine We call this a filter capacitor. So first let me draw a capacitor here, so This is how you connect you connect a capacitor Parallel to the load resistance so write down capacitor connected parallel to Load resistance Okay, this capacitor will act like a filter capacitor Fine now see what will happen because of this The capacitor as the voltage increases Okay, as a voltage increases capacitor will get charged Right now first of all understand that this plot is the plot for the Potential difference between X and Y. Okay, so what will happen here is that when the potential across the capacitor is Decreasing so whatever charge capacitor has stored during the charging or when the capacitor Voltage was increasing capacity will Gain the charge right so whatever charge it had gained earlier When the potential goes down the capacitor will discharge and we'll just throw away the charge out Okay, because you're decreasing the voltage so when the capacitor throws away the charge this current Will sort of compensate for any decreasing current in the load resistance Fine so in a way the current in the load resistance largely remains constant Fine, so if current in the load resistance remains constant even the potential will remain almost constant So every time charging happens it will slowly get charged and when discharging starts Capacitor discharges and make sure the current through X and Y Remains constant and that will create sort of a Uniform voltage although still a processing is required, but more or less you get I Mean somewhere close to where you want it to be all of you clear about it any doubt
