Hi, I'm Brian May in the State Operations Center Cal OES headquarters. I just want to give you an update on the largest of the fires that are burning across California on this Sunday morning and there are about 12 large wildfires burning it this morning. I'm gonna run down the top four of those and we'll start at the northern part of the state and work our way down so the car fire that's the large one in Shasta County over 89,000 acres and still just 5% contained. Latest number about 500 structures destroyed in that fire so far working our way down the Mendocino complex fire. This is a fire that spans both Mendocino and Lake counties. They combined it into one. It was two fires originally. It's now one large fire 24,000 acres, 10% containment and overnight that fire caused a massive power outage in those two counties. Mendocino and Lake County at one point. There are about 37,000 people without power as of this morning. All but about 500 of those have been restored in Mariposa County. The Ferguson fire. That's the one that's blanketed the Yosemite Valley with smoke. The Ferguson fire over 53,000 acres now contain it up to 30% and then in Riverside County, the Cranston fire 13,130 acres containment at 29% all these fires still very dynamic with the incredibly hot temperatures across the state. So firefighters still challenge trying to get these fires under control and continue to work on people getting back to their homes as safely and as soon as possible. You can continue to monitor all of our social media feeds, Facebook, Twitter, as well as our OES news.com will have updates throughout the day. For all of us at Cal OES, I'm Brian May. Thanks for watching.


What's up everyone? We are back with another snack crates. This one actually we've been waiting for a while to do. So let's see what country it is. The best thing about these is it is only $25 and free shipping here in Canada, which is great because getting things from the United States, other munch packs, things like that, usually shipping costs a lot. So this is $25 Canadian free shipping and there should be five to six snacks in here. Sometimes from once we got in the past there was a little bit more but the country this time is going to be Belgium. So that works. I'm going to see what's in here. I'm not sure what to expect. Hopefully chocolate, hopefully things like that. Yeah but let's see. Okay, do you want to pick the first snack? It's not what I expected from Belgium but hey it might be pretty good. They have a cute little like fun facts too. Yeah it's one thing we like about these snack crates. It has the facts on the insert inside the box. Yeah so there's facts and then that's the first look here. So you picked the first one. All right. Cronky, bicky flavor, which I'm assuming is hamburger flavored or cheeseburger or something. That's what I'm assuming. It's actually pretty cool. I wasn't expecting chips from Belgium but let's check these ones out. Whoa. I don't know if that's good or bad. Well it kind of smells like all dressed in a way. Yeah but sour. A little sour. I guess I'll dress but as soon as I open it up you could smell it so. Yeah yellow, tinged. Yep. I will say it's good. I just can't point out the first flavor. Um oniony. I mean the burger it's hard to tell but it does look like some grilled onions here. I'm getting a lot of onion flavor. Onion and like mustard fish. Yeah. Definitely mustard. Not bad. Pretty good. Salty though. Um but overall really good and the chip itself it's like a good quality chip so I'm gonna rate these nine out of ten. Seven and a half. Seven and a half. So these right now I'm gonna put uh put in first place. First place yeah. I forgot how we do these videos. I I don't know if we rate them each snack or we just put them in order and so I'm just gonna put these in first place right now. Okay we'll go with something a little more sweet. All right go with this here. This is a milk chocolate dessert by the looks of it. It's really hard to tell. Kind of looks like uh it's hard to tell on the camera here. Kind of looks like peanut butter.  That's really good. That's a good quality chocolate. Wow. I would say uh this is now first place even though I love chips so much I would put this in first place. You think it's the same? Yeah. Wow that's high quality uh first place for sure. Oh yeah. Oh I hope they're not sour. Haribo. That's a good brand at least. Yeah we have those here. Pasta fruta. Okay. Fruit flavored pasta. Kids and grown-ups. What does this say? Kids and grown-ups love it so. They look uh you know I'll take a grain I guess. Hard to tell. They look pretty good. A little sour. I put it in last place right now. Me too. I like the chocolate. I like the chips more. You think the same? It's good but it's so similar with sour belts except a little bit more gummier. Yeah more chewy. Definitely the chocolates. The best thing we've had so far and the chips are going to be after that. Deli chock. Yeah that's all it says uh chocolate bar but it kind of looks like I don't know I don't even know how to describe it. It looks like really large pockies what it looks like to me. But it doesn't as soon as you open it up it looks different than what's on the packaging. So I give you the first piece here. Definitely like wafer. Like a wafer for sure. Yeah it's hard to tell it's textured on the top. That's good. I'd put that in second place. Second. I'll put it in second too. I can't. It says something it's sure. I don't know. You don't know what flavor it is but. Oh it's like a barbecue flavor. Almost it's like a puff. Yeah cheese puff almost but weird shape. That's a that's an odd flavor. It's like a mix mix between the cheesy flavor barbecue and something else. I like them more than the other chip. Really? Yeah I do. So right now I'd say this is in third place for me. I think we're gonna have to tie both chips to third place because I like the other one a little bit more. The other one has a sour aftertaste though but these ones here are smoky. Yeah it's like it's almost like a smoked hickory like the hickory sticks we have. So that's yeah I'm gonna tie the chips together and then we have one thing left which looks amazing. Very interesting. Okay so this one is a wafer oh sorry a waffle sorry waffle Belgium waffle. But is chocolate on one side? Yeah chocolate on one side and then plain on the other side. I'll open it. Let's see yeah chocolate dipped waffle. Hopefully it's not messy. I'll let you have the first bite here. See here. It looks good. Soft. Softer than I thought. The waffle is a little buttery. It's still soft but it has that nice crunch from the hard chocolate on top. I kind of want to put this in first place. To me I think it's first place worthy. What do you think? Oh let me see. We have the first chocolate we tried in first place which we're not sure the flavor and the one that kind of resembles like a twix or a pocky is in second place so where would you put this? For me personally I think this is would go in second place. Second place? I do really like I'll show you guys again. I still really like this one the first chocolate bar we had. Yeah and even though we don't know what flavor it is all it says is desserts and it's kind of like a milk chocolate. Yeah but it does have something in the middle. I'm not sure if it's hazelnut or something just subtle but it is really good but so that's your first place. This one in my opinion is going to be my first place just because it's so good. A buttery waffle, a nice chocolate taste to it and the chocolate is like premium chocolate because it's Belgium. Yeah I think that is a win for sure. So this one here in my opinion I can't remember the other ones we've done in the past but this one here would be up there for my favorite one. So far this box is the best box that we've done. Everything was amazing. I think we had one other box that everything was really good in it as well but this one here everything was amazing. So I would say this one is our best one so far and for only $25 to get all of these snacks six snacks inside and they're not skimpy on the snacks like it's full sizes. I've ordered munchpacks in the past where one little gumball for example counts as one of the snacks and it's just doesn't make sense. These are like full-sized snacks so definitely a great price. Definitely recommend checking these out. This box here I would definitely say was the best one we have gotten. We do have a couple more that we do have to do. We have one coming from Colombia and then one that's supposed to be Canadian snacks if we do receive that one. But hope you guys enjoyed this video. We will see you guys in the next Snack Create Taste Test.


news update. Hi everyone, Basel Chapman here for the 11 o'clock Tiger Financial News Network Market Update. In my show, the Tiger Technicians Hour, the E-mini was trading at about $44.75 and I said, whoops, it looks like it's going to start rallying. And I was showing some of the techniques in the Chapman Wave methodology. And here we are at $4,505 in legs C to the upside in the two-minute chart, legs C in the five-minute chart, and a leg B in the ten-minute chart. I like to look at it as if it was daily, weekly, monthly timeframes. Well, look at this. If Chapman Wave buy, yep, it's just gone to no, it's about to. This next ten-minute chart says if the line turn goes over the 14-period moving average, there's a chance that we got a leg B and there should still be a C and a D in the Chapman Wave methodology, going from a buy signal to a buy mode in the ten-minute chart. Let's just run the numbers right now. I'll be sitting here for Larry Pesavento's hour, coming up straight off this. He's away, I think he's still in London. So we're looking at the XLU in a leg D trading very strong. This has been one of the sectors that really has been acting beautifully. Look at the dowels. Come back from a really weak open. It's now up 250 points to $34,833. Held the 200-period moving average. You're speaking to subscribers. That's what we expected. So far, it's acting well. Look, the day's young. We've got really weird moves these days. The S&P is lagging a little bit. It's up 11 at 45-11. It needs the 45-22 area to say, hey, I'm doing okay. The QQQs were very weak. They're still very weak. Down to $1.60 and $3.52. I would like them actually to have been leading. They're not. They're kind of dragging their legs. We've got $1.99, $97, up 51 in the IWM. Goals had a very strong move earlier on. It was up about 12. Now it's up 9.5 at $19.47. Stuck in the range. Look at the dollar, DXY. The dollar is making new recovery highs. It's at $100.03. At par. This is really important. Cannot hold or would it break down? Go back into the rectangle formation or go one-to-one to the upside. That's a big question. Crude oil, holding okay. It's down 21 cents, but it's at the lower end of the arch formation. I'll talk about that when we get back because we'll be doing currencies and a whole bunch of things. We'll do commodities. It is Larry's hour. He's not able to do it. I'll fill in for him and there's a chunk of stuff we want to do. So we got the TLT, which is really acting horribly. They made a lower load today at $1.25.22 down a quarter. We'll talk about that. That's why the XLU, the utilities are doing so well. Save the day. We'll be back in a moment for the Larry Pesvento show just to fill in that hour. Trade what you see, but it's Basil Chapman. I'll be back in a moment. Hope you can stay. Have a good weekend, otherwise.


Chepusun, Yuru Kenyatta, colegates of state and government, Chepusun of the African Union Commission, Secretary-General of CARICOM, distinguished guests. While we are separated across land and sea, we have so much in common, including the rich culture and diversity, and our people as a fundamental asset for progress and achievement. I announced on August 1, 2021, in my inaugural annual Emancipation Day address, four days after student office, that my administration plans to take Caribbean's real African history to schools, and to make Emancipation Day, or really a holiday, a major annual event on a national calendar. As I said then, we strongly believe that why slavery was abolished over a century ago, the mindset and racial attitudes that brought African people to the Caribbean and the Americas still linger. I assure that this historic first gathering of African-Caribbean leaders that under my watch, solutions will have good reason to remember the struggles of our forefathers, while preserved and protecting the heritage they left us. And today is only the beginning, over 143 years later, but it's never too late to start. My administration also welcomes this ready platform for communication, cooperation, coordination between Africa and the Caribbean to share COVID-19 experiences and develop mechanisms to help reduce our common dependence on equal vaccine distribution. This is stark living reminder of the inequalities of the system. Having to import 10 times more pharmaceuticals than reproduced in the Caribbean, and our regional vaccination levels are only between 50 and 23%. We also support the recent initiative announced by POW to create a platform to increase regional vaccine manufacturing production. Unfortunately, we also share particularly vulnerability to the ravages of climate change. This means that inevitably we are all invested in securing sustained global action to arrest and reverse this scourge. In this regard, close cooperation between smaller and developing states, African countries and other developing states was instrumental in securing the 2015 Paris Agreement and the 1.5 target for global temperature increase. In light of the climate emergency, the pursuit of a green recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic and the critical decisions to be made at the 26 conference of parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change COP26 It is essential that the flame of collaboration kindled in Paris be found vigorously in Glasgow in November of this year in order to ensure that the international community and in particular industrialized nations manifest a level of climate ambition that will secure the safety of the planet and the survival of our countries. Our countries must also continue to work under the banner of non-ANXI developing countries in the negotiating group of 77 and China. Thus far, we have collaborated and strengthened our voices, having common positions on such fundamental issues as finance adaptation, loss and damage. In the area of finance, it is imperative that we speak with one voice under the operating entities or the financial mechanism. The vision simply retards progress for both our regions, something we can elephone in a process where we can only move forward with consensus. Our regions must also maximize possibilities for collaboration outside of international arrangements, exploring areas such as technology, capacity building, research exchanges and formal education opportunities. There is so much that we can learn from each other.  We are aware that you have committed to active a sense of urgency on climate change and environment with a focus on climate technology, women and youth, sustainable forest management and climate resilient agriculture among others. As we forge ahead, the Caribbean community looks forward to deeper and more meaningful collections with the continent of Africa working together in achieving the developmental aspirations of our nations and our people. I thank you Mr President.


Any city without a fully functional infrastructural system will suffer a setback as such engineers must be well trained so that they can do their best to grow the nation from an infrastructural perspective. The managing director of Lagos Metropolitan Transport Authority, Lamata, engineer Bimbola Akinajo stated this during her presentation at the 2022 alumni luncheon of the University of Lagos Faculty of Engineering Alumni Association plus TV news correspondent Love Ikuko Yedokun who tells us more. It was a reunion, a very turbo networking opportunity for the alumni of the Faculty of Engineering, University of Lagos. It was also an avenue to give back to their alma mater through the luncheon of a 500 million Naira fundraising project for the faculty. Away from that, Governor Babaji De Sawulu and the same cashing on the opportunity provided by the reunion to tell the impact of the alumni on the state's infrastructural development in less than three years. And so the blue line you can see is a massive fit of engineering and I'm sure all of you need to be proud of it. From four legs, we take design to ten legs. So we do a massive right of way to do ten legs and we're very smart to keep a rail corridor in the middle of it. So the alignment actually is about 16 legs because when you don't ten legs and you still have enough alignment to keep a rail corridor where they may fit. And that's why we're able to preserve. And which was the most difficult option to take. But because we're committed at that time to say, you know what, let's have the audacity to want to do it and that's why we started it. With four stations, Mal-2, Alaba is on one, National Theater, they're completed. You will notice that Mal-2 and Alaba, they have two complexes. Obviously that's based on study. Studies that have been done to determine sort of ridership that we would get.  Mal-2 is a market area so there's a lot of people there. So that's why we have two complexes that allows us to take on more passengers. It's the same thing in Alaba. Alaba and National Theater are also completed. We have pedestrian bridges at each of those stations that allows us to bring passengers from one side of the expressway to the other. The Managing Director of Lagos Metropolitan Area Transport Authority, Lamata spoke with journalists on the sideline of the event. Infrastructure is owned by all. So it means that as an individual you have a responsibility. Something has been built not to destroy it, not to vandalize it. And so therefore, people also need to be aware and also take ownership. And that's what I always say. If something belongs to you, you are not likely to go and destroy it. She also told the forum that over 5,000 people affected by the construction of the rail have been compensated by the Lagos State Government. From Lagos, Love Ikuku Uiedokun. Plus TV News. So you get notified about fresh news updates.


The Twitter cancel mob has been fired! No way that just happened. But at least they haven't been canceled. Why would they? I'm picking up your sarcasm. The public would like nothing more than to hear their story. Well, I just hope so because I'm laying it on pretty thick. Possibly including videos of a lot of sad Twitter mob members pouting their way out the building carrying a box full of yoga mats and frappe coffee cups. I swear I've seen a lot of stuff in my life. But that was awesome. But sorry about your car, man.  Those being their vital work utensils. Exclaiming to the heavens. It's not fair. Instead of getting paid the next time I do yoga and then drink espresso mochitos for six hours. I may actually have to pay for it. Like some peon. Three points each. At lunchtime. Time is an illusion. Lunchtime doubly so. They're like, that's no way for a Twitter mobber to live, man. Can we put your ego aside for a minute? Something important has happened.  I mean, I've interviewed with like five other job locations and not one of them even have a foosball table. Thing you ought to know, I'm feeling very depressed. Well, we have something that should take your mind off things. It won't work. I have an exceptionally large mind. Like how do these employers expect you to wind down after morning meditation work? Life, don't talk to me about life. I told one potential employer they better buy a foosball table or all stick to Twitter mob after him by calling him a hate filled anti-fuser. Ambitious. But you'd be better off selling ladies undergarments in Hampstead. I don't think anyone even knows what an anti-fuser is. I just made it up, but it sounds bad, doesn't it? In the good old days, I could have gotten your average CEO fired by inciting the Twitter mob on him. Just call it something like an anti-fuser or something like that. Many nights I put a blade to your throat while you were sleeping. Glad I never killed you, Steve. But this guy just laughed at me as if he was in charge or something. Can you believe that? Mr Dent, have you any idea how much damage this bulldozer would suffer? But just let it roll straight over you. What? None at all. I've never seen a CEO act in such an entitled way. Top of the mornin', dear girls. Reap the whirlwind, Sheriff Brady. Reap it.


Hey guys, I'm Christina. This is my buddy Kong, and we have three things to tell you about the Kentucky Derby. Number one, you must be a registered thoroughbred nominated for the triple crown. This is a thoroughbred. This is not. Sorry Kong, no draft horses allowed. Number two, you have to be three years old to run in the Kentucky Derby. Number three, you must earn points in designated qualifying races to earn a spot in the gate. It might be time for a new dream Kong.


But first, Mayor Donna Deegan was the first female mayor of Jacksonville. She was sworn in on July 1st. And she's off to a busy start between presenting her first budget just two weeks into her tenure and welcoming Vice President Kamala Harris to Duvall for a speech on education. In the midst of this ridiculously busy schedule, she made time to join us in the studio this morning. Mayor Deegan, hi. Good to have you back in Jacksonville. Welcome, welcome home. Thank you, thank you, thank you. It is so good to be sitting across from you. And listen, you can join the conversation to call us at 549-2937 or you can tweet us at FCC on air. Email us at First Coast Connect at wjct.org or message us on First Coast Connect's Facebook page. Mayor Deegan, tell me, how's it going so far? So far, so good. I get from a fire hose for sure with that budget the first two weeks, but we're really excited to have it out and ready to roll. That is the thing that I did not know is that when you become mayor, you've got two weeks to turn around your budget, which seems just kind of crazy to me. Seems pretty punitive, doesn't it? Yes, it's like you win and now you're punished by you got to figure out a budget. Now listen, you know, we were looking at it early and I think that it is your budget and it's not your budget. Right. A lot of it is done before you get in, but what we just did is we said, let's go in there and prioritize those things that we told folks during the campaign that we wanted to really focus on infrastructure, health, economy, small business, and that's what we did. So we pulled down projects that were shovel-ready, things that were ready to go and we've told people forever that we believe infrastructure is the way forward and you can see in the budget that that's exactly what we went for. There isn't just good for the health of the community, but it also creates jobs. Absolutely. I mean, that is the one thing that I heard over and over again from mayors in other cities that have in a lot of ways passed us by is that you've got to focus on the public infrastructure and if you build it, they will come basically and that's something that's especially where we are, Al. In a beautiful place with a lot of water, there's a lot of room for deterioration when it comes to infrastructure and so we've really got to deal with that and we have done that in this budget and I'll also say that we've paid for a lot of it and that's something else that we really wanted to do. We had that over $100 million that we had in the budget. We wanted to make sure that we were doing some pay-go there and we increased that by 156%, which I'm really proud of because we have a lot of big projects coming up and we want to make sure that we're paying for things as we go if we can. Yeah.  I'm curious and I know that it's a little bit limited being the mayor whereas dealing with climate change seems like something that both the governor and the larger the Senate, the federal government has to grapple with but is climate change something that you're having to grapple with with your administration? Well, certainly. We have the most vulnerable city in the state of Florida. It would cost us more than any other city given where our military bases are, given that we are on the river and on the ocean to create barriers hardening our coastline against rising tides. So it's very, very important for us to focus on resilience and to focus on climate. And as you can see really with every year, we have record heat every single year. And so it is going to be very important for us to focus heavily on the things that we can do locally to both mitigate, to respond, but also to mitigate those forces. I want to like go big here and like zoom out a little bit. So we're looking eight years in the future. Mayor Donna Deegan has had two terms. What does the city look like at the end of Mayor Donna Deegan's two terms in Jacksonville? Well, we've focused heavily on infrastructure, especially in our underserved neighborhoods and made sure that everybody has an opportunity to take part in that partnership of Jacksonville. But also we have a very thriving and open and activated riverfront. We have a lot of young people living downtown. We have a lot of workforce downtown. We have a lot of housing and entertainment downtown. We've kept a lot of arts and culture and built that. I think the picture that I see of Jacksonville is that city that we were always destined to be. And we've just sort of let it pass us by in a lot of ways because we haven't focused on fundamentals. So to me, if we end up with a thriving downtown and neighborhoods that are all taking part in our partnership here in Jacksonville, I will consider that and a healthier Jacksonville being a great legacy. Sure. I'm going to go to the phones in a little bit. But before we do, I have a big question for you. What are your thoughts around crime and safety in Jacksonville and how do you plan to address it? Well, I said during the campaign and we're focusing in our task forces on a revised, reimagined Jacksonville journey. And I'm sure you remember the Jacksonville journey. It was a program that was really highly successful in reducing violent crime, which focuses largely on prevention and intervention and community programs in addition to community policing by the sheriff's office. And so we're taking a very, very hard look at that. I think literacy is going to be a very big piece of that. So I have said repeatedly, and I know some people don't agree, that we absolutely have to have enough police officers to keep up with our population growth, which is pretty robust. But also we need to focus heavily on prevention and intervention and reentry programs for folks who are coming back into our society. We're going to take a call. We got Joe from Jack's Beach. Joe, you're on with the mayor. How are you this morning? Oh, thank you so much. And congratulations, Mayor Donna. As a vegan, affordable fruits and vegetables is very important to me. How does your budget address the food deserts? And also thank you for acknowledging the climate crisis. And Mayor Donna, would you be willing to sign the plan based treaty to address the 87% of the greenhouse gas coming from the animals starter industry? Thank you, Mayor Donna. Thanks, Joe. Thanks, Joe. Thank you so much for calling in. One of our committees is focusing heavily on those issues. And I know that it is one of those issues that comes up over and over again. We do have food desert issues. We're looking at that. We've set aside $20 million in the budget for programs that come out of those task forces. And certainly one of those issues is going to be food deserts because we want to make sure we're dealing with that. We got a question from Twitter from Jack's fan, Brian, saying, Brian, I wonder who your favorite football team is. I don't know. I don't know. Go Jacks, Brian. Go Jacks. Go Jacks. What can the mayor's office do to help DCPS as they are, as they have these new standards forced upon them, expanded without funding, even though they are likely unconstitutional? Well, I think we do exactly what we did over the weekend or on Friday. I think we speak out about what we expect to be the standard here in Jacksonville. And I've said this repeatedly throughout the entire campaign. It's not a political issue. This is an issue of recognizing people's humanity. And we're going to continue to do that in Jacksonville. It doesn't make any sense to me that we would educate our children in a way that is not honest to the history of slavery. And I think as with any issue, you look at that and you say, how does that impact students in Jacksonville? And you have to speak out about it. So I think part of being the mayor is to lift those issues that are very important. At the end of the day, we'll see what happens in terms of what the federal government will do and how people around the state react to that. Obviously, the school board is a completely separate entity than is the mayor's office. But I think it's very important to speak out on these issues. This is an issue that affects all of our students, not just our black students, but all of them. So if we want all of our kids to share in a better future, we're going to have to acknowledge the past in its truth. Speaking of that, Vice President Kamala Harris came to Jacksonville to speak specifically on this issue. How was it meeting her and what did you hear from her in her speech? Well, truth be told, I had a family wedding. I was getting ready to fly out for that afternoon. So I wasn't able to attend her speech, but I did meet with her at the airport. And I read her remarks. She was grateful to be able to come here to let the folks in Jacksonville know that they're not alone when it comes to these issues, that they need to speak out and that she will support them in speaking out on these issues. And so I very much appreciated the fact that she came here to highlight Jacksonville.  And I think sometimes Jacksonville can feel forgotten in the bigger picture of the state. And so it was nice that she took the time to come and she had, as you know, a very large and overflow crowd that came to hear her. When I think about like national politics and local politics, you know, the first NPR show I worked on was my show, State of the Union, which was from here, WJCT. But we went all around the country and we told stories about community. And I did that for about eight years. And I think what I learned in doing that, the thing that I think about all the time is that national politics, you can do a lot of grandstanding and say a lot of things and blah, blah, blah. It tends to be like sports, right? Like we have our teams, our politicians that we root for. And we say all kinds of crazy things to justify our love for that sport. Exactly. Exactly. All sorts of crazy stuff. But when it comes to the local politics, like local is where the job gets done. That's right. Local is where you have to roll up your sleeves and actually do things. Because, you know, I mean, Mayor Deegan, you'll run into somebody in publics that like you're accountable to, right?  I don't know. Like how do you do that? Well, the entire campaign, I ran on the fact that local politics should not be political. That I was going to have Republicans, Democrats and independents in my administration so far. I have made good on that. I have the most diverse group of folks that have ever worked in the Mayor's office here in Jacksonville. But also in terms of not just ethnicity, but in terms of party affiliation. And so my message has been and will continue to be national politics should not play a role in local politics. It's about customer service really is what it comes down to. It's about roads and bridges and sidewalks and potholes and making sure that people in Jacksonville have what they need to be successful. And so I will just tell you that for me, it all comes down to relationships now. You know, you have to build relationships with people. And that's what I've tried to do since I've gotten into office. I've had some great conversations so far with our council folks, with other folks within City Hall. And I'll continue to do that. I'll continue to have Town Hall meetings. I'll continue to reach out to the community. We have a whole task force, which is just focused on community relationships. And I think those types of things are incredibly important. I think you saw in this last election, really a repudiation of the type of politics that is just zero sum, totally focused on destruction of the other person. And people said, you know what? We want our city government to get along with each other and we need to get things done. There's too much potential in this city to continue to have a food fight over politics when really it shouldn't play a role. Yeah. I hear a lot of pundits, thinkers, politicians, bemoan the fact that the populace, a lot of times isn't engaged in politics, isn't engaged in voting. Like there are large swaths of people who just don't vote. And usually when these conversations happen, it comes from a very finger wagging place of like, you have to go out and vote.  That's right. Like if I have this issue and I get excited and go out and vote for somebody, and then after the election is done, I never see that person again. And my issue never gets addressed. Then it just takes away my desire to vote in the future. Like because, you know, in certain places in this country voting is a little bit harder.  And so like if it's being made harder and you're not seeing any results from actually going out and voting, why should you vote? Yep. I agree with that. And then that's, you know, I have encouraged everyone that I have spoken to within city government to be open to talking with not only the media, but in spending more time and talking to the community. I think there has been a reticence to do that among some. And I think it's so very important to connect with our community. And so that's why I made a pledge during the campaign that we're going to continue to have town hall meetings. We're going to continue to have groups that come into the mayor's office. And we've done that already. We've got several that are already scheduled town hall meetings and we're scheduling them in each council district and all over Jacksonville. And then when we come out with the plan for the Jaguar Stadium, we'll do it again and listen to people's thoughts about what we're doing that way. So it's important to bring people in and make them a part of the process. And if they feel like they're a part of the process, they're a lot more likely to participate. Speaking of, you can join the conversation. Call 549-2937, FCC on air on Twitter. First goes connect at wjct.org and on Facebook. Do you like that transition? That was a good transition. Fabulous, fabulous. That's why you're the press. I don't know about that. We got Mark from the West Side. Mark, you're talking to the mayor. How are you this morning? Very, very good. To that end, mayor, I hope you, once a month, it'd be great to have you do a little question and answer with your constituents on this show. That would be great. My two questions, I have two points, really. First one is, I know you're going through with the Jaguar thing and you're being set upon by all sides, but from my point of view, if the Jaguars were to leave tomorrow, Jacksonville would still be a fine city. So don't worry about that. But my real question was, we spent here recently, the last couple of years, millions and millions and billions of dollars correcting the pseudo-disceptic tank problems we've had in some of the poorer sections of the city. However, contractors and builders continue to put up neighborhoods with septic tanks. And I don't understand that. I mean, it's just something we're going to try to correct or stop or what. Well, I absolutely do think we need to get to a point where septic tanks are not an answer because eventually they fail and we have the same problem all over again. I think that's the issue when sometimes growth outpaces infrastructure, right? And so I think we need to... This is one of the reasons that I've said that I'd like to see us focus heavily on infill and building up the infrastructure in some of our older neighborhoods and historic neighborhoods and the downtown. Not only do we need that increased density there, but I think it makes more sense than creating more septic tanks all over the city. But I think that's... The bottom line is absolutely. I think eventually we need to get away from using septic tanks at all. Thanks, Mark. Great. I'm curious, what's been the biggest surprise since you've taken over the mantle of mayor? Oh, gosh. I don't know that there's been a lot of surprises, to be honest. I came in with a wide open heart and really excited to work with people. And everybody so far has been really, really wonderful. All the council people have been great to meet with so far. I'm sure that there are going to be points of contention along the way, but everybody seems very excited about where we are in Jacksonville and next steps. So I don't know that I've had a lot of surprises, Al. I feel like it's been a lot. I wish we could change the rate at which we had to come up with a budget. I think that is definitely a detriment and something that every mayor has to deal with in the first year. But I don't know that that's possible without changing the time of the election and that's fraught. Right. But beyond that, I've just been really grateful for how smooth the transition has been. What do you think is your biggest challenge in this first four years? Or rather, what do you think the biggest challenge is in your first hundred days? Let's go brass tacks coming up. Well, certainly the budget was a challenge. That was where we had immense focus for that first several weeks. You have to get in and get that done. And I'm really, really pleased with the budget that we came up with. The other thing that we're really focused heavily on in this first hundred days is I took that position of boards and commissions and really elevated it because one of the things I said during the campaign is we have to diversify our boards and commissions so that they look like Jacksonville and so that they reflect everybody across Jacksonville. So Garrett Dennis has come into that position for me and he and Parvez Ahmed who is our new chief of diversity are working hard on taking a look at those boards and fleshing them out and making sure that we have folks in those positions that reflect Jacksonville. But that's a big focus in this first hundred days. But obviously we're going to also start these negotiations with the Jaguars pretty soon and that's going to take up a lot of focus here as well in the first hundred days. Michael, in Duval, you're talking to the mayor, please. How are you? Good morning. I found two things of interest online this morning. One is from the Sentinel which said that Florida has the highest rate in the country of children going to hospital emergency departments for dental care and the highest average charge for these visits. And I also saw a posting in the online Jacksonville Today calendar for the meeting today of the Primary Care and Dental Access Subcommittee. And so what we're talking about here is a kind of a crisis in basic dental care, particularly for our children. And I would like to encourage and ask the mayor if she's going to be able to work with Council President Salem and let's see what we can do. Basic dental care is really a long-run approach to a problem that is very painful and really can be dealt with. So I'd like to hear her comment at least briefly on this. Thank you. Well listen, you're absolutely right. It is dental care and obviously that is key to the health of young people and everybody. That's one of the areas that we really have to look at. I will tell you that it is one of the areas that President Salem and I have great synergy on and that is the health of our community. He's a pharmacist. He's been focused on health care for a long time. It's a major focus for me with our Chief Health Officer. Primary health period is dismal frankly in our area in terms of our numbers. We have horrible numbers in terms of what that gentleman was talking about but really all of our primary health numbers are really poor. Where some of the worst in the state are infant and maternal mortality are absolutely the worst in the state and some of the worst in the country. So what both President Salem and I are focused heavily on is moving the dial on those numbers because obviously we're not expanding Medicaid in this state anytime soon. That puts a huge burden on our hospitals and our health care providers. So whatever that we can do locally to make sure that we increase access even with information, making sure that people know what's available to them. You know we're going to bring in grant writers to make sure we're bringing down more money to feed some of these nonprofit organizations that are doing a lot of the great work in that regard and then we're going to have to educate people and connect them to that. But the other thing is Al is that a lot of people aren't aware that they can sign up for the Affordable Care Act at no cost. And so one of the things we're going to focus on is education just to make sure that people know what's available and make sure they're getting the care that they need. But that's what these subcommittees are looking at. All right. And we got Ian from Orange Park on the line. Ian, you're talking to Mayor Degan. Hey, Donna. This is Ian. Hi, Ian. Yeah. Super inspired by your candidacy and you being Bayer. So I'm really excited to see all that you're doing and your capabilities. You know, my question is about your, the budget that what's being allocated to arts and culture. So I noticed that 8.5 million was being allocated to the cultural council of Greater Jacksonville. And I think that's a great allocation. And I think they're a great organization. My understanding is only 25% of that is being allocated to local artists and talent, though, or at least that's what they're being required to do. You know, I think it's really essential. There's so much talent here in Jacksonville. I think it's essential to use our local talent and our local resources. And I think that's really going to create, you know, a unique future, a unique aesthetic and culture for Jacksonville's future. Ian, we totally agree on that issue. And that is a $3 million increase for the cultural council over what they were allocated last year. But also arts, culture and entertainment is one of the committees that is doing work. I'm not sure it's the first time that a mayor has made those issues a priority, but it's been a while. So I can tell you that we set aside a lot of money for whatever these committees, I believe it was $20 million, we set aside to deal with the initiatives that these committees come up with. And one of the things that has been discussed over and over again, and in fact, Al and I, we're talking about it this morning, is how do we retain our local talent? I think one of the things we really need to do is make sure that we're educating people in Jacksonville about the rich history of incredible talent we have in this city and the people that we, we become donors to other cities with all of our amazing artists and entertainers. And we need to keep those folks in Jacksonville. So I can promise you that will be a big focus of this administration because we also know that it's part of having a thriving downtown and of keeping young people here. So those are going to be focuses as well. And I think if you can keep artists here, it really does speak to our history and our roots here in Jacksonville. And I'm excited about growing that. So tough question. Maybe not necessarily a tough question, but like a question that I've found being here at WJCT that a lot of people don't want to talk about, specifically statues, the Confederate statues. So I'm just curious what your stance is on them and the movement to bring them down. What are your thoughts? That is not a tough question for me. I've been very clear about it the entire time I've been in public life. I believe if we are going to be a community that respect each other's humanity, and we are, that those statues need to come down. I am not against putting them in a place where they can be contextualized. I'm not trying to remove history. I just believe that if you have these monuments to slavery really, that are in places where people have to see them every day in communities where they are just truly hurtful and offensive and do deny people's humanity, I just don't think that is something that is good for the city of Jacksonville. Every business in this city, pretty much, every big business especially, with it tries to recruit people into Jacksonville, will tell you businesses by and large don't want to move to a city that is still fighting the Civil War. So we need to take those things down and that will be a focus of my administration. I know what we're hearing out of Tallahassee. I'm sincerely hoping that that bill meets the same fate that it met last year because it's a bad bill. And it frankly, once again, takes away local government's ability to make their own decisions about what they want to do in their own cities. So I would sincerely hope that the people of Jacksonville would be supportive of getting those monuments down. There's a question from Jane on Facebook. Why not set up some partnerships with universities, medical schools, and medical schools in the area to provide care to children from dental, mental health, and medical care, Indianapolis, with the Chamber of Commerce, commerce, excuse me, set up such a program matching resources with the needs of the community. Sadly, the program ended under Governor Pence, but they worked for many decades. Who is this from? This is from Jane. Jane, listen, I would love for you to attend one of our meetings on these issues because I will say that, for the first time in eight years, we actually attended the Governor's Conference, not Governor's Conference. The Mayor's Conference. See, you got me going there. The Mayor's Conference over. I'm trying to get you to think about it. Yeah, no chance, Al. No chance. The Mayor's Conference that was recently in Ohio, and you get your greatest ideas from what people have had success with in other cities. And so I would love to look at any solution for those issues, but it means bringing those things to the table and making them part of what we're considering. And eventually what will happen is those task forces, I believe in September, will be distilling down everything that they've seen brought to the table there and presenting recommendations for where the city of Jacksonville should go. So I would encourage you to attend and share that or send it to us. I'm going back to the phones. We've got Chad in Miramar. Chad, how are you doing? Fine, how are you guys doing? Hi, good morning, Donna. This is Chad from the Spanish TV Station. Ah, good morning. Wonderful to speak with you. Yeah, it's been a while. I've been finding the meaning to talk to you, but you're busy. But hey, Donna, a few months ago during a campaign, we had a Hispanic-flavored town hall in which you promised me, and I had all those people in the room as witnesses, that you were going to do some set-asides, maybe in the budgets for Hispanic and other minority-owned businesses. Where is that going? What's happening with that? Well, we're taking a look at how we can help minority businesses all the way around in Jacksonville right now. It's one of the things we're very focused on, as you know. It is part of why we want to bring all the voices into the room, and I think it's going to be very important to have representation there, but we're very focused on that. There are certain things that we have to take a look at legally in terms of what we can do, but at the end of the day, I think that when we have more diverse voices that are on those boards, when we have more diverse voices that are part of the process, we're going to come up with creative solutions, but one of the things we are extremely focused on is making Jacksonville the small business capital of the Southeast, and that includes Hispanic businesses. We want to make sure that we are that we're lifting those businesses, and part of that, as we talked about before, comes with lifting the work of some of those businesses, and we'll continue to do that. This is where we're three weeks in, so give us a little bit of time to get those things in place, but we are working on it hard, and I have not forgotten about that at all. Good, good, but I do want to remind you as in mostly all communities, we need to be kind of breached out. Most Hispanics here don't know opportunities might exist for them, so I would hope that part of what you do. In fact, a couple of weeks ago, I went to one of the meetings, one of your committees for local venues and art and concerts and whatever, they were looking for information. I hope you do the same thing for Hispanic businesses, where you want our input as to what we need and what we could use. Absolutely want your input, and again, I hope that you are taking part in some of these meetings. There is time in every single one of these task force meetings for public comment, so either you can take part as a member of the task force or you can take part as a member of the public, but the more we get people involved in these task forces and community meetings and town halls, those are all things that are going to be helpful, but yes, that outreach will continue. Thanks, Chad. We've got Emily in Riverside. Emily, how are you doing? I'm doing great. How are you today? Good. Good. You're talking to the mayor. Go ahead. Hi, Donna Deegan. I just had a couple of questions. How does someone get involved with this transition process? And then again, after we have those reports in, the aftermath of that? Well, I'm going to forget the website now, but I think it was something like Transition 2023 at coj.net. I believe that's the email address to get involved there, but you can always call the mayor's office too and we'll be glad to give you information on that. There are several different transition committees. There are seven different committees that you can get involved in. And then like I said, with every one of them, there is public input. And then what we'll do, we'll come out with what the top recommendations are, and then those will be the focus of the town halls that we have that are coming up. So there'll be all kinds of opportunities all over Jacksonville for you to connect and to share your thoughts. Thank you. Thanks so much for calling in. So we got two minutes left, and I just want to go to maybe what might be the biggest challenge of your first four years, the Jaguars, the stadium, Lat Jay. What are your thoughts about all of that? Well, as I have said many times, I think the Jaguars are really a part of the fabric of this community. I've been going to those games for a long time. I was on the set the night that we got the Jaguars. I remember that actually. I mean, remember what an amazing hand-do moment that was for Jacksonville? We talked earlier about how sometimes, sometimes in this community, we can be sort of hard on ourselves. We don't ever believe good things are going to happen, right? And that was one of those times when we really just, wow, it was an amazing thing. And I think that it is important for us to continue that partnership. I think the Jaguars are great for Jacksonville, and I think they create an enormous amount of community pride. What I suggested to them a year ago was that they make this not only just about a stadium but about economic development, that they continue to try to look at ways to help our communities that have often been left behind. And I think there's elements of that in this plan. I think what we're going to see going forward is just where does that settle in? How much public money are we going to need to commit? And what does that deal look like? But at the end of the day, there will be a deal with the Jaguars, I believe, because we both very much want that to happen. I believe that Shod Khan wants to be part of the renaissance of this community. I know that Jacksonville will be stronger with the Jaguars here, and we'll work it out. Mayor Donna Deegan, thank you so much for coming in and talking to us today. Thank you for having me. Can we get you back? That's the thing. Anytime. All right. Anytime. All right, you guys heard it. Mayor Deegan said she's coming back.


Felly, fy nghymru yn gwneud, yn ddefnyddio'r iawn. Felly, fy nghymru yn ddefnyddio'r iawn iawn, yn ddefnyddio'r iawn, yn ddefnyddio'r iawn. Mae'r cyfnodd yn 2014, i'r Symysgol Yng Nghymru, yn gwneud o gael Nels Mwndela. Ydw i'n gwneud amserol y ffyrdd yn y parlymydd. Ieithi'r ffyrdd yn gwneud amserol y gwrs. It is a great honour and privilege for me to be standing in front of you today to reflect for time of full reflection to the honourable members of Parliament. I was with my grandfather a few years ago when we were having lunch at home in our country home Gwunw, half listening to a conversation when he said something that stuck a chord. He said young people don't have time for old people and because of that they lose out on things that are important in life. The next thing he said was that if we are to build a developing country like South Africa we need to give ourselves time to spend with the elderly or young people. While I was thinking to myself I was just asking you to tell me about your health and now you're telling me about a goat that got stuck in a fence. Clearly that doesn't add value to my life, I thought at the time. And what he had to say is that we need to learn to be patient, we need to learn to listen. Even though I'm a person who likes engaging people of different walks in life including the elderly, I felt before that statement I would not sit and listen to somebody who's long winded about anything that they have to tell me. The moral of the story is that in today's world we have very little time to listen and reflect on all the things that we do in life. And the most important lesson is that the elderly have contributed to their family life, to the life of a country, to the general world at large.  The parable helps to bridge the gap between the old and the young, the most sophisticated and the simple life, the fast paced world and the slow rural environment. It is similar to the parable of a sheep in Matthew 18 verse 12 and 13. The owner rejoiced after finding one lost sheep even though the 99 did not wonder. Like the lost sheep today we somehow have lost our way. We have little respect for people that are different from us. We are so attuned to our own way of doing things. It is my way or the highway. As we go back to our fast paced world we need to take a moment to pause and listen and make sure that we do our bit to bridge the gap.


Russian military takes American Bradley as trophy for first time. For the first time the Russian military took the American made Bradley fighting vehicles as a trophy. The telegram channel Rybar writes about this. The infantry fighting vehicle belonged to the 47th Mechanized Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Since early summer the unit has lost more than 40 similar vehicles first in the direction of Zaporizia and then near Avdiivka. Russian soldiers still managed to bring to the rear the American M2A2ODS Bradley infantry fighting vehicle which had previously been shot down in the Avdiivka sector. In fact this is the first objectively confirmed captured infantry fighting vehicle of this type. The channel writes it is noted that the Russian military has repeatedly hit American infantry fighting vehicles but previously it was not possible to capture them. Ukrainian forces have relied on Bradley's during the counter offensive they launched in early June. Prior to receiving the American vehicles Ukrainians often used decades old equipment inherited from the Soviet Union. Highly maneuverable and capable of traveling at speeds of over 40 miles per hour Bradley's are heavily armored vehicles that can transport up to six fully equipped troops to and from the battlefield provide fire support and carry out reconnaissance missions. They are armed with tube launched optically tracked wire guided missiles capable of hitting enemy tanks and armored vehicles in the distance with high explosive warheads and two guns including the 25 millimeter M242 bushmaster chain gun and a 7.62 millimeter M240C machine gun.

Well, one last ride, you weren't wrong, sir, let's go. Ooh, that's a hot mug, guys. This is it. This is the beginning of the end.  It's not good either, though. This episode starts us off with how the world is basically coming to an end.  But then zombies come out of it, and they're like, whoa, that's actually pretty cool. And then something gets into Jack that gives him more of a personality than he's had in the entire existence of his entire character, and I went from being kind of meh about Jack for the longest time to actually really liking this actor. This was the most fun I've had watching Jack this entire show. The baby thing was kind of interesting for a little while, but then it got really, really repetitive and very dry. This was such a massive breath of fresh air that you have no idea how actually entertained I was with the Jack character. But then on to the episode itself. As we were shown at the end of the season finale for Season 16, which was 14, we saw that everything that the brothers had destroyed was coming back, even though ghosts which they destroyed, not sent to hell destroyed, gone from existence, somehow returned. One of them being Bloody Mary, which if you guys want to actually watch, I'll have a link to the review I did of the Bloody Mary episode, which is one of the best episodes of Season 1. Hands down.  And then one of the most convenient conclusions happens in the quickest amount of time that I've ever seen in any TV or movie show in history. When the brothers come across a car that's on the side of the road that's got some blood in it, hey, this is like the woman in white.  How did you get that conclusion from a car on the side of the road? How many cars on the side of the road with blood in it have you come across in your entire career of the hunting monsters?     We see a few of these ghosts and whatnot come back into the real world of the clown Bloody Mary, who, while she clearly got the absolute tail end of the budget for her costume, you see the clown looks really good, there's these two weird things that kind of appear, they look pretty good, the zombies all looked really good, and then there's Bloody Mary who looks like someone took a crayon and put blood tears on her. That whole point when she gets introduced to is just, oh, that was such bad acting. There's a lot of really bad acting in this episode. However, I will give this, this wasn't directed by Robert Singer, and you can tell because there's at least three different camera angles in this entire episode. Admittedly, some of the coverage is not the greatest, there's some times where they do it handheld, which doesn't look that great. However, they shut down an entire area of Ladner to do these really isolated shots, which looked really cool. However, Supernatural has switched over to the soap opera filter so much, that it just looked like a really bad, in terms of color grading, student film.      He literally puts the most powerful weapon in the existence of time in the glove compartment.  So the episode writing is so goddamn predictable, yet there were some factors that weren't bad.  Doesn't really give me hope that it's gonna be a better season, but it doesn't really dissuade any fears I have either.   Kind of a middle of the road season opener, which is kind of a... Oddly enough, it's kind of a tradition for Supernatural, at least for the last five years. I'm gonna give episode one of season 15 of Supernatural, a three out of seven.  Anyways, hope you guys liked this video. If you did, leave a like, and if you're interested in more, maybe subscribe. Let's get on this road, baby.


Let's solve a couple of questions on slit width in a single slit diffraction. Now for the first one, we have a blue-green light of wavelength 4500 angstrom, which falls on a diffraction slit and creates a central maximum of angular width delta theta, 10 to the power minus 3 radians. The question is to figure out the slit width and we can assume that the central maximum casts a tiny angle on the slit. Alright, as always pause the video and first try this question on your own. Okay, hopefully you have given us a shot. Now we need to figure out the slit width and we know the wavelength of the light and we know that the central maximum is casting an angle of 10 to the power minus 3 radians. Now we can start by drawing a single slit and a screen and how the pattern looks like on the screen. So this is how it can look like. These rays that are going to meet at the first minimum, they are making an angle of theta. You can see they are making an angle of theta with the horizontal and this part difference right here, this part difference, this right here. So this would be, this would be a sin theta. But the thing is that the central maximum is casting a tiny angle on the slit. So we can, we can assume, we can assume theta in place of sin theta. We can take theta in place of sin theta. We know the condition for minimas. It is a sin theta, which is equal to equal to n lambda. Now we can, we can use theta, the small angle approximation. We can use a theta and for the first minima we can use n equals to 1. So this is, this is equals to lambda. Now this means that a, the slit width, this is equal to lambda divided by theta. All right. And we also know that the central maximum, the central maximum is casting an angle of 10 to the power minus 3 radians. So if we look at this diagram, this is the total angle that the central maximum is casting and you can see that. And this angle is not just theta, it is theta plus theta. This is true theta. So 2 theta, this is equal to 10 to the power minus 3 radians. So theta would be, theta would be 5 into 10 to the power minus 4 radians. All right. Now we place theta over here and in place of lambda we place 4500 angstroms. So we can first change, change this to, change this to meters. And when we do that, this would be 4500 into 10 to the power minus 10 meters because 1 angstrom is 10 to the power minus 10 meters. So after placing these values and let's, let's do that a, this is equal to 4500 into 10 to the power minus 10 divided by 5 into 10 to the power minus 4. And this comes out to be equal to 9 into 10 to the power minus 4 meters. This will be, this will be 9 into 10 to the power minus 4 meters. And this really is 0.9 millimeters. All right. Let's look at one more question. Here we have Thomas who engineers a very small diffraction slit that creates a wide central maximum of angle of it 120 degrees. When light of wavelength 2000 into root three angstrom is shined on it. What is the width of this slit? So this question looks very similar to the previous one, but here there is no small angle approximation as such. The angle that the central maximum is casting, it's actually 120 degrees. The angle of it is 120. It's not a small angle. Okay. Again pause the video and first try this question on your own. Okay. Hopefully you have given this a shot. Now just like in the previous one, we will start off by drawing what the situation is. So we have a slit of width A and the rays that are coming out from the two ends, they are meeting at the first minima point. Let's say that B, this is the first minima point. So this is the first minima point. And if that is true, then that means that the part difference between A and B, if we can draw that, this part difference, this part difference right here, this would be, this would be A sin theta and that will be equal to lambda. Because for the first minima point, we will, generally we write N lambda, but for the first minima, N is equal to one. So it turns out to be A sin theta equals to lambda. We need to figure out the width of the slit. So A really is lambda divided by sin theta. Now we know what lambda is. It is 2000 into root 3 angstrom. So we can write 10 to the power minus 10 meters divided by sin theta. Now what is theta over here? Well, if we look at the question, we see that the central maximum is of an angle of it 120 degrees. Now, since we know that the central maxima lies between the first two minima points, it kind of looks like this right. So the central maxima, it lies between these two, these two first minima points. And if this angle is 120 degrees, if this angle right here, if this is 120 degrees, then half of this would be 60 degrees. So this angle theta, this angle really is 60 degrees. Because the rays that are coming from this end A, they are really going to this point B and they're making an angle of 60 degrees, half of 120 with the horizontal. So this is sin 60 degrees and sin 60 degrees is root 3 by 2. So root 3 really gets cancelled off. 2 remains, but let's just write everything. So we have, this is root 3 by 2.  This 2 goes to the top, becomes 4000. Then 4000 into 10 to the power minus 10. That is 4 into 10 to the power minus 7 meters. And we can write this as 0.4 micrometers. Because 1 micrometer, that is equal to 10 to the power minus 6 meters. So this is option C. All right, you can try more questions from this exercise in the lesson.
