Hello, everybody. We're going to go ahead and get started. This is part three of the Foundation for Advancement and Conservation's National Heritage Responders Salvaging Fire Damage Item Series. Today's program will focus on salvaging book and paper materials. The group of volunteers who worked on today's webinar includes Luca Ackerman, Danya Khan, Leanne Nau, and Victoria Wong. If you have questions, please feel free to put them in the chat or in the Q&A box throughout the program and we will take questions as they come in. Otherwise, I'm going to hand it over to Danya to start today's presentation. Thank you, Elena, and welcome everybody. It's always great to be doing a webinar for folks, but in this circumstance, I wish it were under happier circumstances. We're going to cover quite a few different things today. We're going to be thinking about exercising caution when we think about responding to our disaster. We're going to think about some of the basic tenants to keep in mind as we're salvaging our materials. We're going to talk about what we need to do in terms of a damage assessment and why we do one. We're going to look at how we can move damage items safely. We're going to talk a little bit about air drying. I know this is a fire-focused webinar, but when you are dealing with a fire, inevitably in some way, shape, or form, you are dealing with water as well, whether it's from putting out the fire or if your items have been exposed to the natural elements before you can get to them. And then finally, we're going to give you a brief introduction to soot removal. So we're going to start with exercising caution. And soot is very dangerous for your health. It contains a lot of toxins, particularly when our modern building materials and our modern plastics are burned. If we were all living in the 18th century and all we had were wood and fabrics, natural fabrics that might not be so bad, but because we have so many plastics that break down into really dangerous chemicals, we want to be exercising a lot of caution when dealing with soot. So we want to make sure we are wearing personal protective equipment, those PPE. And that includes nitrile gloves. And generally we recommend nitrile because a lot of people are allergic to latex and plus the nitrile gloves come in prettier colors. You can get our, you know, wonderful N95 masks that so many of us got used to wearing during COVID. Or if you have been approved by a doctor, you can get air purifying half respirators. You want to wear goggles and glasses are not goggles. You want to be sure you've got eye protection that covers you from above below and from the sides and not just from the front. You want to be wearing good sturdy work shoes. We don't want to add tetanus on top of everything else. And then you want to wear a Tyvek suit. Yes, I know they're incredibly hot. They make you sweat like there's no tomorrow. But it's better than bringing home all of those toxins from the soot on your clothing into your car and into your homes. So in that vein as well, even if you're wearing a Tyvek suit, you probably want to bring a change of clothes so that you can change your clothes before you get into your car. You want to put what you were wearing shoes included into a garbage bag so that you aren't spreading that soot. This is just a really good practice to get into from the very beginning because you really don't want to be spreading the soot. That's just a really brief comment on some of the health and safety issues you want to take. We did do as our first webinar, a specific health and safety topic, and so you can get this on YouTube from the link there.  In addition to wearing PPE, there are just certain health and safety issues that you want to take when responding to any sort of disaster, but fire in particular. You want to work in pairs. We all learned in kindergarten about the buddy system, and it's really one of those life lessons that we should just carry through all the way through to the end of time. And because when you're working in pairs, you have someone watching out for you, and you're also watching out for someone else. So you tend to be more aware of the tripping, the slipping, the straining hazards and things like that. So it makes you more aware, but you also have that buddy so that if you get into danger, there is someone who can either help you at that moment, or go and get help if that is necessary. We need to remember that our building materials may be dangerous after being disturbed. So, you know, if we've got a building structure that's gone through a fire, we don't know how stable those studs are in our building is the wall going to come down on us. You know, the stuff that we are walking on how stable is that, and is there going to be a hole beneath us that we could fall through so we really need to be thinking about kind of the structural issues, but we also need to think about what our building was constructed with. So, did we have lead paint in the building so as we're going through are we going to be disturbing the lead dust. You know, was there asbestos, you know, we all know that we really shouldn't be breathing in asbestos. So, we need to make sure that if we know that there are these sorts of materials in our buildings that were aware of that and we're exercising extra caution. And so really knowing your building is going to be important. And, you know, this isn't maybe not something that we as curators of our collections or as homeowners really pay that much attention to. But it is an important thing to keep in the back of your mind. Always exercise a lot of caution. And then finally, we just, oops, sorry. We just don't know who may have decided to take refuge in the piles of, you know, rubble, unfortunately. And so it's always important to move items out of the way and not, you know, reach your hand into dark and enclosed spaces because you just don't know who or what may be lurking there. That really doesn't want to be disturbed. So when we go to salvage our collections, there are some basic tenants that we want to keep in the back of our mind. And first is look, don't touch. We really want to do an assessment before we start moving anything around, because if we can assess the situation, document our needs and plan, we're going to be able to be much more efficient and much more successful at salvaging our collections. And efficiency in the end really means that it's going to cost you less money. And a lot less time. So that assessment, documenting and planning stage is really important. More items are going to be salvageable than you think. You know, ceilings and floors can collapse and that actually does protect things in the event of a fire. So you may have items under piles or in your basements that actually manage to survive. You want to handle damaged items very carefully and as little as possible. If you pick things up, you want to know where you're going to put it down. And you want to document where items were located. And a really good reference for doing this work is First Aid for Cultural Heritage in Time of Crisis. It really walks you through all of the steps in a lot of detail. This is not a resource that you've known about in the past. I really highly recommend downloading it right now. So we want to look and not touch. So in assessing the damage, again, this is where we want to work in pairs. We want to have one person taking photographs. We want to have one person taking notes. And the person taking notes is going to want to be looking at the health and safety needs that you might have looking at the building needs you might have, and also looking at the collection needs. People is an absolute minimum at best. You want three to four so that you can have one person taking pictures and two or three people focusing on those other three topics.  If you go in with four people you can break up into two groups of two and still be safe that way. You want to take a lot of photographs or videos of the damage. And this is where practically all of us having smartphones and having cameras and you know video cameras in our pockets at all times really helps. One of the things to be a little bit cautious of is if you are working as part of a government entity and the government and you want to share those photographs, the government can just take your whole phone. So you might want to have a separate digital camera for something like that. But you really want to take a lot of photographs, it's going to be a great way for you to be able to get more information, because while you're in the situation. It can be very overwhelming and you might miss things. So the photographs are going to help you go back when you're in a location of safety and more calm that you can look at things a little bit more rationally. The photographs are also going to be very good if you have insurance and you need to make an insurance claim. But they're also going to be really good for any sort of fundraising you may want to do because there isn't anything better than showing the images of just what's happened to let people know that yes you really do need the help. Taking notes to clarify the photographs is going to be great, but it's also a way to capture those other senses that we can't yet on photographs and videos like what something smells like or what something sounds like, or what something feels like even though you're really not supposed to be touching yet. And another resource that we might be able to use, but not always our drones and that's going to give you just that third angle that you can't necessarily get when you're standing on the ground. But just know that in certain federally declared disaster areas or other state declared disaster areas or even just some areas within your state. It's not legal for you to fly a drone. So before you do any sort of drone work, be sure you check what the regulations are in your state and in your area for the particular instance that you want to be using a drone. And if you do use a drone also respect your neighbors and really just focus on your property and your property alone. We also want to be assessing what we have to salvage during this damage assessment. So you really want to look at what's been damaged, how much has been damaged, how much is salvageable. And in many ways, what is actually going to be salvageable and what's worth salvaging. So sometimes what you may find is that you have a lot of office furniture that's been damaged. That's the sort of stuff you don't really maybe need to worry as much about it can be replaced. Focus on what can't be replaced and what you do really need to salvage but also keep in the back of the mind what you are going to need to replace because you do need that information. And while you're doing this assessment of what you have to salvage and how much you have to salvage, that's also going to be telling you what sorts of supplies you're going to need, what sort of space you're going to need for doing your triage and salvage. So it's a really good idea to be thinking about when you're assessing what you see. If you take a look at the image that we have here, if you break this down into a grid, you can start to get a better sense of how much you have and what you have by focusing on little segments rather than trying to do the whole room as a single unit, because that way, again, it can get very overwhelming. And when you're assessing what you see, you don't have to be coming up with everything all on your own. In the objects webinar, our colleagues shared the form that you can get from the field guide to emergency response, which is available from AIC. But there's also the guidelines for small museums for writing a disaster preparedness plan from AICCM, and it just gives you a little bit more simplified form to be working from. And maybe what you do is you come up with your own form that you can work with more easily because you know your collections and your institution the best. But having some sort of form that lets you be consistent in your note taking is going to help a lot when you go to plan. So, you know, be really thinking about how you can be consistent in your note taking, as well as in your photography. So, again, we are going to be talking about books, paper and photographs in this webinar. If you have objects, we did have a separate objects webinar that you can go watch. It was yesterday in case you missed it. And again, it is going to be available on the FAIC YouTube channel. And that also has a lot of really good information on doing a damage assessment focusing on objects. So it's another good one to check out. So once you have done your damage assessment, and you have made your plan, and you know what you're going to be moving and where you're going to be moving it. There are things that you need to think about in terms of moving. So, if you have things that are in stacks or stuck together. Don't try to separate them before you move them just move them as a single entity into your triage area, because it's going to be safer for you to be working on separating things when you're not in the middle of the debris and the chaos that is your disaster site. You always want to use two hands to move something, even if they're small. So if you're thinking about books or pieces of paper you're not just going to grab things with one hand. You always want to use two hands to to provide as much support as you can for larger items. The planning comes in and having supplies that you can use as supports for moving larger items. This can be just sheets of cardboard. It can be window screening, it can be old sheets that you have, but just something to essentially give kind of that hammock to your fragile items for smaller items. You know, cookie sheets, you know, box lids, you know those the when you get the photocopier boxes of paper, you know, the lids from those boxes work great as trays. Just about anything that has sides that has a good rigid support works really well for transporting items as well. And then boxes are great things for books. So, you know, but just always be thinking about providing support and for really large things, you may need two people to move them. So if you've got maps or something that you're finding or really large pieces, having two people makes it much safer, not only for the object but for the people involved as well because you're not trying to maneuver and handle large things in an unsafe area. So when you are moving things or preparing to move your things, you do want to be thinking about having a clear path to your triage area. You want to make sure there's no debris on the floor, particularly when you're moving larger objects. Because if you're moving larger objects on your own, you may not necessarily be able to see the ground in front of you and if you're moving with two people, inevitably one person has to go backwards. So making sure you have a clear path is going to make it safer for that person to be moving backwards as well. You also want to make sure that all doors are propped open. If you, you know, have doors between, say, the space that you're working and the van or the truck that items are going in to be transported. You want to make sure all these doors are open and kept open so that you don't have to actually set the item down to open the door and pick the item up again. Again, it's minimizing the number of times that you have to actually pick up and put down your item. For books in particular, you don't want to stack them, whether they're wet or if they're sooty stacking does start to create a lot of pressure on books and if you stack them too high that weight itself can be really damaging. If you find your books are splayed open, keep them the way that you found them. So if the book is open, don't try to try to close it to move it, leave them as they are and transport them that way. Again, it's like some of those stacks that are stuck together. It's better to work on the object in a more controlled environment than in the disaster situation. Again, if they're stuck together, don't try to remove them. The boxes are great for moving multiple books in the ideal world. They would go spine down in the box, but you know we're not working in the ideal world. So laying them flat in a box is a good idea and just make sure that again, you're not putting too many things in one box, largely because books are heavy. You don't want to create a straining problem and have people get injured trying to carry too many things at one time. More trips is better than trying to carry too much weight and damage objects or injure yourself in the process. And again, carrying boxes means you generally can't see your feet and so making sure you have a clear path to where you need to go is going to be important. I know we're focusing again on fire, but sometimes your items might be damp and there are special things that you need to do if your items are damp or wet. So first of all, in your triage area, you want to make sure that your tables are covered with an absorbent material, such as blotting paper or white bath towels. You can use just plain cotton sheets if you can get a hold of blank newsprint that works great as well. Basically any sort of absorbent material that doesn't have any printing on it is going to be a good idea. If you use regular newsprint, of course we know that that newsprint, the ink itself rubs off onto you. And you don't want to add stuff to what already has a problem. And if you get anything with a lot of color printing, if things are damp, that color could bleed, so we want to avoid that as well. If you're dealing with documents or photographs, you want to lay them out in a single layer. And for photographs, you want to put those face up and I'll get to a little bit more about that in just a second. You want to stand up and fan out books to let them get dried if they are stable enough to do that and sometimes your books won't be. So let the object tell you how strong it's feeling and, you know, dry it appropriately. So we want to do photographs and slides and negatives emulsion side up to keep them to get them drying, and then we want to keep the air moving using fans, but you don't want to point the fans directly at the items.  If we've got framed items, we want to carefully remove those framed items from the frame, if we can. You want to be doing that unframing in an area that's separate to where we're going to be drying, or, you know, triaging our items because we don't want to spread the soot from, you know, our dirty area to our clean area we want to try to keep the triage area as clean as we possibly can. It's going to be impossible to keep it clean, but the cleaner we can keep it the better it's going to be not only for the objects but for us as well. If the work is stuck to the glass, either if it's a photograph that the emulsion has stuck to the glass, or if you don't use glass and are using plastic, and the plastic has melted then the really important step is to get as good of a digital image as you can of that object before you try to remove it from the frame, just in case anything happens. Do not separate photographic album pages. It's best to leave those as they are for the time being. And you want to assess any original housing and keep it intact so that all the contents can be cleaned and placed directly into newer replacement housing materials. And I want to just mention that when you're air drying items, particularly documents and photographs, you might not have enough tabletop space to put everything in one layer, but a really great way to add spaces to essentially build multiple stories, and it's really easy to take window screens and just solo cups and start stacking them up so that you have multiple layers that items can be drying in tears, rather than having sprawl, you can go up. Removing soot and ash from paper based materials and photographic materials is very difficult, and it should be done with caution, and it should be done slowly. So when you go to try to remove soot and ash from your dry materials, rule number one is to continue wearing all of your PPE for this type of work. The Tyvek suits, the goggles, the gloves, the mask or the respirator are again all there to keep you protected. This might be the time though if you don't have a lot of debris that you can switch to comfortable sneakers rather than work boots. But your location of where you're doing this work is going to dictate what safe footwear is for you. You only want to dry clean items that are completely dry and stable. Because soot is really sticky and difficult to remove, so you want to make sure that that item is as stable as possible. And again, before dry cleaning any item that has soot, getting a really good digital image before you start cleaning is important because you just never know what might happen. Paper, when it has gone through a fire. Even if it has come out looking like it's perfectly fine, that paper is going to be inherently more brittle than it was when it started out. And if you started with brittle paper, it's going to be very difficult to handle it without doing some sort of damage. So you really want to exercise caution and approach any of your repairs with a very light touch. If you're somebody who's heavy handed and really likes to get in there and scrub something clean. This is going to be very challenging for you because that sort of approach is going to be very damaging. You want to make sure that you're treating your cleaning materials as hazardous. So if you're using smoke sponges or any of the other materials we're going to be talking about. You want to make sure that you are disposing of them as if they were hazardous and putting them in sealed bags and disposing of them properly. They're not just something you're going to be tossing around on the floor or just putting on the table next to you because again that soot is really dangerous for your health and any exposure if you're not wearing the proper PPE can have a lasting impact on your health. You may not notice it today you may not notice it tomorrow, but down the line you don't want to find out that your lack of caution is causing you some serious health issues. And any surface that you are working on you want to make sure you are cleaning both before and after you start any daily operations for a lot of us this is going to be a multi day sort of project. And so we want to make sure our table tops are clean at the beginning of the day, and we want to thoroughly clean them at the end of the day and you don't want to be doing any other non salvage activities in the area where you are dry cleaning your materials. So, basically what that means is you're not going to be dry cleaning on top of a table that you're going to take all of the objects off of at lunchtime sit down at that table and eat your lunch, and then go back to cleaning your objects. One food residue isn't good for your objects but to it's really not healthy for you to be eating in an environment like that so you want to really separate your sort of activities into different zones, so that you're making sure that you don't have any sort of cross contamination, either between collection items or between your self and your clean food and your clean clothes and the dirty space that you are working. The number one thing to always remember in any sort of disaster situation is human health and safety is the most important thing.  If you know any of you fly on a regular basis it's the same concept with the, you know, oxygen mask when it comes down, you put your mask on first before helping anybody else, because if you pass out from lack of oxygen you're going to be no help for anybody. So, take care of yourself first and then you can take care of everybody around you. So, how do we go about removing soot and ash from our dry materials. A good first step is to use a HEPA vacuum which is a high efficiency particulate air filtered vacuum. You can put a screen mesh on the nozzle head for your first pass because you want to make sure that if there is any loose debris that might be part of a collection you're not sucking it up into the vacuum. If you don't have a HEPA vacuum, you can do this, but just make sure you are doing it outside and that the wind is taking the exhaust from the vacuum away from you. And at the end of your time doing all of this cleaning work, that vacuum is now out of service. You will not be taking it back home with you to use on your carpets or anything like that. It has served its purpose and you don't want to bring those contaminants back with you because the soot is going to get into all parts of a standard vacuum. Unlike a HEPA vacuum which has so many layers of really high efficiency filtration that anything that enters is trapped and doesn't escape. So you want to be ideally using a HEPA vacuum. The also the good thing about most HEPA vacuums is they come with variable speed suction. So when you're working on paper objects like books or documents or photographs. It's best to use low suction again so that we're not sucking up the paper along with the soot that we're trying to get rid of. Just be aware you might not see a lot of difference when using the vacuum as your first step because again that soot is really sticky, but this is going to get anything that's loose as a first pass. As your second pass, you want to think about using a dry cleaning sponge. These are known as soot sponges, smoke sponges, chemical sponges. They come in all sorts of different names, but they're basically vulcanized rubber or latex sponges that you don't use wet. They're not like a, you know, a cellophane sponge, but what they are is they're sticky.  These smoke sponges if you order them come as a big brick, they are actually about the size of a brick. The beauty is is they can be cut with scissors down to a size that's more manageable for your hands. I can't use them as a whole brick size because my hands just aren't big enough. And when you use them, they're just going to attract all of, you know, the soot that's available on the surface, and you're going to use them until they're dirty and throw them away you're not going to keep using them when they're dirty, because you don't want to be spreading that soot.  Smoke sponges depending on how you store them do have a limited lifetime. When you get a smoke sponge and you take it out of its plastic wrapper, you want to store it in a Ziploc bag or wrapped up in saran wrap or something like that. If you leave them exposed to the air for too long, they start to dry out and they become more like sandpaper, at which point they're not effective for what you want to be using. So, great question. If you don't have the money or the means to get the smoke sponges, you can use latex free makeup sponges that you can just get at CVS or Walgreens, or wherever you get your makeup products. I don't wear makeup so CVS and Walgreens is about as good as I can get at the moment, but they actually work really well and they're small, which is really nice so you don't have to be cutting them up. But again, like the smoke sponges, they trap whatever it is you're trying to pick up and hold onto it, but again, get a lot of them because as soon as they're dirty, you want to be disposing of them. So, whether you are using a dry cleaning sponge or a latex free makeup sponge, you want to blot, not rub. And I apologize, I could not come up with a good image for blot don't rub. So we're all getting a Rorschach test today. So basically what that means is you want to work in, you want to think about working on your item by taking your sponge and moving up and down, not side to side. It's going to be essentially dabbing the surface of your document. And it works really well if, like when we were doing our assessment, if you imagine your object having a grid sitting on top of it.  And then you're going to do it again. And you're going to do it again.  And then, you know, that is going to tell you that this is as far as I can take this object. Because paper based materials have a lot of mountains and valleys. If you get in and look at them really closely. And the soot really gets into those valleys and won't let go so it really gets into the interstices of your paper. So it's very unlikely you are going to be able to get all of that soot out. So even if it still looks dirty, if you're blotting straight up and down and you're not getting anything, resist the urge to then go and try to give it a good rub to get the rest of it out because you're only going to do more damage that way. So blot until you can't get anything else up and then stop. If you can't get your item clean. Oh, I'm sorry. Oh yes if you can't get your item clean boxing is a really good option to prevent the soot from spreading to other items. So you can do something as simple as a wrapper. Like you can see here this is just a simple four flap wrapper. You can get a clamshell box you can buy, you know, all sorts of different gallery boxes from conservation suppliers, or, you know, if money is tight, you can wrap the item up in some tissue and put it in just a standard box. So you're just going to protect it from outside elements but it's also going to protect other things from the soot on the object that you have. I would avoid putting it, putting your objects and anything plastic at this stage. If you want the soot and the toxins in the soot to be able to volatilize. And if you put them in plastic, those volatile organic compounds that would be given off by the soot are going to be trapped in there and continue to do damage to your collection materials. So putting them in tissue and putting them into a paper box is better than putting them into anything plastic. So we do have some resources for you that we mentioned in the webinar. As I said, we will be giving you the slide deck for this webinar, as well as a handout, but AICC M which is the Australian Institute for the conservation of cultural materials that we mentioned early on is a great resource they also have other really good resources beyond their guidelines for small museums on their website. FEMA has some advice for after the fire, and it's their web fact sheet which is also extremely helpful heritage preservation has a great video that they did when they were in existence and is now on the AIC YouTube channel. Just peruse the AIC YouTube channel in general there's some really helpful information there on a lot of different topics. There's the International Center for the study and preservation of restoration and cultural property. Their first aid to cultural heritage in times of crisis is wonderful. I love it. You know, don't forget the National Heritage Responders are here to help as well. And we have our video from the health and safety section as well as the objects webinars that were just done. And don't forget that NHR is here to help as well with our National Heritage Responders hotline. You can either call us or we do have a website that you can go and send us an email. MauiRecovers.org is probably the best resource for you to use on a day to day basis, because that's going to be updated daily as to what is going on and what areas are being opened up for people to enter. Definitely check that on a daily basis. And if you do decide that you need help beyond what we talked about today. The American Institute for Conservation has a find a professional page, which is going to help you find a conservator for the type of material that you have. I might not say necessarily in Hawaii, but definitely within the West Coast of the US. And Luca Ackerman and Leanne and Victoria and I are also happy to answer any questions. Luca is our photograph person. So if you have any specific photograph questions, please feel free to ask him. If not today or tomorrow. Luca unfortunately has contracted COVID and we are being nice to him today. Leanne is actually in Hawaii at the University of Hawaii. And Victoria is in California and is part of the NEDCC program there. NEDCC is the Northeast Document Conservation Center. I am out here on the East Coast, but I am always happy to help. So do we have any questions? So Elena, do we have any questions that have come in that I have missed? Let's see. I do not think so. Not yet. A few comments. Oh, yeah, the, the tech Sarah webinars. We should probably add somewhere, because they are really excellent. Yeah. And Tisha mentioned that, you know, she's have had sponges that have lasted for four years. I've had them last. I've got some now that are probably six years old. And when you take them out of their original plastic, as long as that plastic hasn't been broken. They still work great. So if you keep them stored in plastic. Yeah, they, they last a good long time. Oh, and Olivia, thank you, Olivia. That's a great comment. When you are wearing your full PPE, and it is hot out, which to me, I think Hawaii is hot all of the time. It probably isn't, but for those of us who, you know, live through 20 below zero, it seems like it's hot all of the time. I do want to make sure that you are limiting your activity. So this, when you're doing salvage in a hot environment and you're kitted out fully and PPE, it is not a nine to five day. You're maybe working essentially maybe 45 minutes to an hour on, and then you're taking a break to hydrate and to get somewhere cool. And then eventually, you know, change your Tyvek suit depending on how dirty it is, give your body a chance to breathe, and then going back to work. And again, this is when you're doing salvage. It's again, always good to be working with a buddy so that you have somebody looking out for you, and making sure that everybody is taking the breaks that they need when they need them. Because this is a very strenuous time, even if you're not doing heavy physical labor, it's still stressful and strenuous. Danielle, we have another question about PPE. Okay. Someone asked if you put your boots in a contaminated clothing bag, what do you do next? What happens to that bag?  And, you know, it's depending on your boots, you can't exactly send them through the laundry, but you're going to keep them outside of your home, and you're only going to wear them on the site. And then I would recommend contacting your local fire department to find out how they would recommend cleaning your boots after you're done with all of your cleaning. Because they're going to have techniques that you can use for things like your boots, but I don't know what those are off the top of my head. I definitely want to wash your clothes on a hot cycle. This is not the time for a cold wash. This is wash them on the hot cycle. And if you can run them through a second time. And then I would, if you have it, I would hang them out on the line to dry rather than put them through your dryer.  I mean, it's a little extra work, but it really is important to make sure that you are isolating that so it as much as absolutely possible. I mentioned as well for boots, you can dip the souls in Tupperware to make sure that you aren't tracking materials into your vehicles as you leave a site. Yep. So does anyone else have any other questions the questions you've had that have been great so far. Were there any in Q&A Elena. Just the one about the boots. Oh, okay. But while we give people a few minutes to write in any last minute questions. Just a quick note that all of our recordings are going to be available on YouTube. The first two webinar recordings are already up. And this one will join later today. And for those of you attending here, there's going to be a handout with the slides and the learning portal. So wherever you registered for today's webinar. In that portal, there's a tab that that's called handouts and that's going to have materials from today and from the previous webinars as well. Just say thank you Olivia it was great to see you on the webinar. Yes, thank you to everybody who has attended. I'm happy to have provided these webinars and thank you to the team for providing this content and for compiling everything over the past few months. Yes, we can wrap up. Since we don't seem to have more questions. Oh, we do have one more question. Oh, can somebody provide a recommendation for cleaning salvage surfaces. What sort of surfaces. Can the attendee who wrote this question and clarify in either the Q&A box or the chat, what type of surfaces. Do you mean the, the table that you're salvaging materials on. Oh, treatment surfaces. Okay. A couple of different ways that you can approach that one. We're putting down something like just blank newsprint or some sort of covering for your table.  It depends that you can clean that up and dispose of it. And then just a simple Clorox solution would be enough to clean the table afterwards. It's going to also depend on what the surface your work surface is made from different surfaces have different porosity.  But the same goes for say granite. And so you really want to be aware of what your surface is that you're working on. So it's just as a rule of thumb, best to put down some sort of barrier, whether it's craft paper, whether it's polyethylene sheeting, the heavy weight polyethylene sheeting or something that that can be your first layer of defense, but you'll still want to clean the tabletop afterwards, just in case there were any nicks and scratches. Luca, Victoria, Leanne, any other additions. I would say even wiping down surfaces with alcohol, isopropyl alcohol. If you don't have those barrier materials also, there's always a good bet, different tables, etc. And also this, we've said this a million times, but just be sure to keep your PPE on while you do that and then bag it all up and seal it and throw it out. One thing I just wanted to add about PPE, if at all possible, it's great to use gloves that aren't black when handling soot, because it gives you an idea of how much soot is actually getting on your hands. So you're not transferring it to clean surfaces, treated objects, closed door handles, inside the cars, etc. So if possible avoid black latex gloves and get purple green or whatever else. I tend to gravitate towards the green, I always forget the black or there so. All right, I think we can go ahead and conclude for today. Thank you again, and we will see you next time.


asically the one recommendation from previous students that we keep reading the book and try to don't put off reading the book until 2 weeks into the course and everything the advantage is that it's a physics book so it's short it's no 100 page chapters but there are other 15 pages per chapter and if there are things that I haven't covered at all we will largely not bring them up so I can ask you about that I also to help you a bit I wrote down 20 I thought but it's only 19 study questions some of these things I've covered here some of I haven't and the simple reason I think the book describes all of this is described either in the book or things I've covered here if you know the answer to the vast majority of these you know the chapter and I'm going to try to do that for every lecture so you have something to follow there what I'm going to do tomorrow is that we're going to repeat the recovery some of the things I've lost over a little bit today I think we're going to look at these interactions charges and electrostatics in proteins a lot and what does this really mean and why do electrostatics take black proteins the way it does we're going to revisit our friends the hydrogen bonds and the peptide group but that's roughly half the lecture and the second half of the lecture we're going to start to dig in what does this that mean why do we see some of these things good to have things that have lower good energy and why is it bad to have things that have high energy and this has to do with a concept called the Boltzmann distribution in physics which is really a statistical mechanics we're going to bring this up in a fairly easy way so don't worry you're not going to have the insane amounts of quantum mathematics here and in particular historically we would derive this entirely with equations and then eventually when you have all these equations and proofs you can start to apply it so Bjorn and Darin have designed a very simple labs where we're going to try to just have things moving between different states super simple problem, you can even write it yourself from scratch and then we're going to try to observe the Boltzmann distribution instead and see if we can learn things by observing rather than deriving it but I think there could be a fun different way of approaching it but this is going to be an extremely powerful way to start looking at probabilities in general that in turn will be related to free energy, I will likely withhold both with entropy all the way until Wednesday but I might touch it a little bit tomorrow and then on Wednesday we will really go through entropy and free energy but I think that's all I had today you have any questions for me?


Our next caller here on talk to us is Cesar Morales from Honduras and Cesar does voiceover work as an announcer so it's kind of appropriate that unfortunately his camera doesn't work so we're not able to show his video on Skype but we get to hear him so Cesar why don't you tell us a little more about yourself. Okay well I've been as you know I record for commercials I work in some agencies in here in Tegucigalpa and sometimes overseas that's the pen but my eyes so interested and improve my English and I understand this is a very and I realize I've been downloading some your your exercises from VOA center and I'm very excited about the way you put the exercises and the way how can we improve our your language it's very I love your your sound that's a good way to practice with those exercises that we have online that's excellent now Cesar you mentioned that you do voiceovers overseas and maybe that's something that some of our listeners don't or viewers don't understand how you do that because now with technology you don't literally fly overseas to do them right exactly well it's not so far but I've been recording for some people in Guatemala near right here near to my country Honduras and it's been a good experience to understand that I don't have like you say I don't have to fly to that country and I can send my my voice everywhere and well I don't have words I in the process of practicing the language and and I suck a little confused because I'm and I'm seeing you here on my computer and I'm very excited and my words doesn't I don't have what to say well Cesar let me ask you can you do give us an example of what commercial let's say something give us your best commercial voice in Spanish or in English whichever and give us a sample of your work well I have a right here I was trying to let me see let me let me find here go ahead and pop it up on your computer right and then just go ahead and read it to us I assume it's in Spanish is that correct yes yes in Spanish I was trying to make a documentary in English a documentary and it's in English and I well I have let me let me find in here radio right here and Cesar the thing that I think is fascinating you work from home right you don't need to leave the house yes for you you're lucky thank you this is my this is a version maybe you could listen let me see in Spanish that's right you just can't get a cold right you can't get like a sore throat that's work if you do you're right


Hey, yeah, happy new year, coach. Hey, the news with Alex Mack yesterday, you know, possibly, you know, could you just update us? I mean, we kind of figured he's out and, you know, won't play his last game here with the Falcons. Yeah, he's definitely out for the, with the COVID issue. Obviously he won't be in the building today and obviously got to go through all the procedures and what's going on with the COVID stuff and everything that happens with that. He's on the COVID list. You know, you know, we don't know what's going to happen as far as being the last game with the Falcons. Nobody knows that, but we'll get a chance to figure that out and get a chance to feel it all out as we go. A great opportunity, again, for Hennessy and for him to step up and to fill that role, which is a great leadership all year and how to do it. So we feel a lot really confident with those guys and the ability to do those things. Yeah, and is it kind of fitting? I mean, you know, just the season, just y'all in, y'all out. It's just been a roller coaster ride to see it kind of, you know, end in this kind of a manner. Just what you have to deal with. You got to be adaptive. You got to be decisive.  Myself, Marty, Rich McKay have been able to be decisive on whether we're in the building, who's out the building in order to get the game played in order to get us to the game to make those decisions has been nice all year. And yes, there was just an example of it again. Well. Hey, Coach, happy new year. Happy new year, Will.   May have found some new ways just moving forward, no matter what happens in 2021, you know, how we move forward as far as coaching and giving people information and communicating with guys. It's just all the different techniques, all the different lessons that you learned from that has been awesome for us. I think our guys really appreciate how we've been able to move through all this stuff and be able to get them the information. And I really think they like some of the things, you know? This is an iPad, iPhone generation and these guys are really, they're well equipped to use them. Our coaches have all been really adapted well and been able to go back and be able to give those guys information that way. So it's really worked out well for us. And yesterday, you know, Coach Holbrook advocated for you to get another shot in the lead role in the league, you know, whether it's here or somewhere else. I'm curious, your relationship with him and the dynamic between you in the head coach role and him as defense coordinator, how much flexibility has he had to implement some of his visions on defense or do you guys really work together to make it more of a mutual process? You know, I signed Jeff Holbrook yesterday as my agent. He's done a great job of really endorsing me and like just supporting me throughout the whole process. I mean, Brick is not only a great coach, he's one of my better friends in life.  We'd love to talk about everything, we'd love to communicate everything but his stamp is all over me as a person, me as a coach, our team, all of us and just in general. So the things that he brings to the team you can't even quantify in wins and losses, you can only quantify them about the guys and how they love and how much he invests into these guys and becoming their confident. Awesome, thank you. Jason. Hey coach, happy new year as well. Thank you Jason.  You know, you know, you're really talking about Todd and what he's transitioned to for us and his role has been now back to runner, a third down runner, a red zone runner and you really have to say it's been really successful within the last couple of weeks, especially last week. I had to give him a lot of praise.  He was able to get out of those situations and we were able to get a pass up into the flag, the key a couple of times to move the chains, to flip the field, to keep you in those type of games. And not always when you're particularly in a position that a guy like Todd Gurley is in, you're not gonna always like your role and you don't have to like it. You just gotta execute it. And what he's been able to do the last couple of weeks is go on and execute his role at the high level. And those are the things you gotta ask your team to do when you're talking about winning football and trying to win football games. And the only thing he can do right now is the role he's been given, go out and execute it. And he's done a great job for that for the last couple of weeks. You know, do you think he still has the ability in the NFL to be a lead back like he was in previous years? I do notice, Jason, you never tell a great athlete what they can't do. Those guys' mindsets, their mentality, the way they approach the game is completely different than his normal humans like us that walk around every day. Those guys can do whatever they put their mind to. Those guys can go out there and execute whatever they need to get done when they need to get it done. And he certainly falls into that category. And he's a guy that can get whatever he needs to get done when he needs to do it. And I got a lot of faith in him that he can do it if he wants to. Dila, do you have any follow-ups? Yeah, Coach, just a little bit on the game there. Taylor, two halves last time, what do y'all have to do to try to make sure y'all can go with him for the whole distance here and how well are they playing lately and was that more Detroit last week, the 47 to seven? We talked about a D-led this week and we came out, we talked about the keys to winning this football game. And on offense, we talked about our third down finish coming out in the second half, wasn't what it wanted to be. They were able to get stops on third down, some of them were particularly too long, third and extra long, matter of fact. And we got to win and move the chains in order to be to win the game on offense. And on defense, we had a couple of busts in the secondary, if you remember, and I really blamed that on focus and finish. We got to go out there and we got to focus throughout the game to get the stuff executed that we know we're gonna execute it. And a lot of people would have made the excuse on who was in the game and why they were in the game and we don't do that. We expect our guys to be able to go out there and execute no matter who they are and when they're called upon. And we were not able to do that last time as far as the finish. And those are the things that should separate this game and the last game. I know we like to use the term Taylor, two halves, but it's really playing the whole 60 minutes. It's really focusing on those three-second snaps, those three-second moments and taking that all the way through no matter how long it takes. Great. Will, do you have any follow-ups? Nope, I'm good. Thank you, Gabby. Thanks, Ketch. Jason. Oh. I mean, okay, thanks, Sarah. All right, great. Thanks, everybody. Oh, Sarah. Hold on, Sarah Walsh from Edge Network. Sarah. Hey, Raheem, can you hear me? Yes, I can, Sarah. How you doing? Hey, hi, Raheem. Sorry about that.  No, you're right. I'm sorry. I'm really, I'm really sorry. With this season, as weird as it's been in so many ways for so many people and for your organization in many ways different from others with changes on the staff, the last game of the year is always a weird one, right? With change looming for players, for coaches, for everyone, especially when you know that there's nothing happening at the end of those corners. So I'm just curious. I know you're a motivating guy.   And when you get an opportunity to play this game, how fortunate we all are, you can't wait to go out there. No matter what is the first, whether it's the last, whether it's the last time I'm going to be together, you always know at the end of every single season, the next season is going to be different. So you shouldn't look at it any differently than you normally look at it. And when these guys go out there to play with each other, they play for each other. They play together with each other. They love it. This game is great to us. It has been great to us all. And we just got to look at it that way and go out there and play it with the mentality that we're going out there to play this game to win. And Sarah, I'm glad you did call me back because this may be the last press conference that we have this year in this format with you guys. And it gives me the ability to thank everybody on this call, how generous and how honest you guys have been all year and how frank we've been with each other.  And I appreciate you guys for that.


Hey folks, we have some more new footage of tears of the kingdom today featuring some battle stuff, right? We have well link finally fighting some enemies to take a look at that's pretty cool including an enemy We have not seen him fight yet a brand new enemy in tears of the kingdom So I'm really excited about this stuff before we get into it I want to remind you that we are giving away a Zelda tears of the kingdom Nintendo switch special edition OLED We're also giving away a collector's edition of tears of the kingdom and a pin from packs east pretty exciting stuff We're now on our road to a hundred and thirty three thousand subscribers, so let's go We're about twenty seven thousand away from that Let's let's see what we can do here before tears of the kingdom comes out All right, so let's just talk about where this footage came from first Nintendo of Japan is the one who released it and they have like a little children's show They put together in Japan and they released it on their YouTube channel and it has a bunch of clips of a whole bunch of different games Including tears of the kingdom, so we stitched together all those clips for you guys to see in a moment First though, let's recap some of the new footage We've had already so you guys can take a look at some stuff you might have missed You know we had 11 seconds of stuff that came off the official Japanese website and then we also had some new stuff yesterday as well showing a little bit of new here about a 32nd commercial and then We finally can advance into this brand new stuff now It's pretty quick. It's about nine seconds and it goes super fast so what we're gonna do is we're gonna show you the nine seconds and then we're gonna slow down those nine seconds so you Can get a better look at what's happening and the moves that they are pulling off It's pretty interesting now in the first one We see him just chopping a tree, you know not not a big deal It's something we could do in Breath of the Wild, but he does it in one Giant swing with a wood bat I find that to be rather fascinating how powerful Link is there then we see him stab a construct He does that with his little pokey-poke and then we see him fight one of those new King Bokoblin things Moblin, what's up with King Bokoblin? I don't know whatever and we see him with this giant juicy Weird-looking purple tongue. It's crazy and he's hitting them with some sort of two-handed weapon on a bridge Or actually on a fort probably then we see a combo where a spear has been combined with a mushroom So we see fuses there and then we see him attack. We see him use a new wind instrument to move Uh about we see a spin attack So we're seeing quite a bit here in this footage and then we see Link sort of you know teetering with his With his little controls showing that you can sort of control the movement if you have the right pieces of your flying machine So I find that to be pretty pretty cool looking and then we see him fighting one of those moblins, uh just out in the Well, it looks like right in front of the dueling peaks out in the central Hyrule area most likely also Something to notice in the background of this one in particular is we actually see some supplies on one of those platforms You take a look you could see we've been speculating. You know, do we get to rebuild things? What's going on now? We see one of those platforms that has a sign in front that I really want to read the signs I want to know what's going on. I feel like it's some sort of Hyrule construction project But we're seeing supplies there and I wonder if in this playthrough The person playing has supplied some wood or something for construction purposes there very curious I'll see something off in the distance some sort of building, but it's a little You know a little too blurry to make out quite exactly what that is And then we see him fighting a chuchu Looking pretty good here Got just a basic sword there. We see him fire an arrow This arrow appears to be out towards, you know, this is either terry town or hateno village I'm not exactly 100 sure I'd have to go back and breath of the water and revisit to see this exact location And then we see him using that thing arm two-handed spear cannon thing again this time against a A stone talus, but this one doesn't appear to be as in a cavey. We can see some sunlight coming in But there is some overhead Rock structure going on and if we pause it just the right frame you can get a really intricate look at link's weapon here If you look at this weapon, you'll see the spear or whatever this is attached to this Dragon cannon and you can see the dragon face very zoni like you can see a yellow ring followed by a green ring On the bottom. I'm not sure if this signifies some sort of power or whatever And this seems to be the new bomb ability or something or some sort of new bomb weapon because we haven't seen link actually use bombs yet So he's shooting it out there with this blue flame Pretty cool looking does a big explosion just like a bomb would except maybe even a bit bigger than a bomb explosion Definitely different looking at least and then we see link just shooting an arrow off a tree Why would he be shooting a shooting a shooting an arrow shooting an apple off a tree? Why would he be shooting an apple off a tree? Maybe he just wants to gather the apple Or maybe possibly this is another corax seed like quest remember we had to do Some of those where you'd shoot apples off trees sometimes We see him use a spin attack to start a fire.  You don't need to do that but Whatever he chose to be fancy about starting fires. Then we see him with a giant hammer And this hammer is if you pause Again, I know it's blurry guys. It's it's in motion footage. So it's really hard to get good frames We see him using a hammer where it actually looks like it's a bat fused to a rock And he's hitting some luminous stone here So that's pretty cool getting some luminous stone. So that's still going to be very much a thing Uh anyways, yeah, that that's kind of what I saw in the footage You know, you can go back through and probably spot maybe a few other things I'm very curious if you guys spot anything new in the footage Uh because I certainly am trying to spot new stuff in every piece of footage we get And uh, yeah, so I don't know you guys let me know what you think about this stuff down in the comments below I am working on gathering some other tiers of the kingdom stuff, uh as well for maybe another video today But got a bit of a late start today. Uh, yeah, I'm not I'm not feeling the the greatest for those who are unaware I've been battling a long long cold Uh, sometimes people get like these month-long colds at least they do up where I live up north and I happen to have one of those So I haven't really complained about it until today today is the first day It really hit me and I just couldn't get out of bed Massive headache, but uh, we're doing better now. We're we're pushing through and uh, we got more content coming your way guys Because tiers of the kingdom, baby. It is so close as of today Three weeks away everyone. Can you believe we're three weeks away? So in celebration of being three weeks away like literally three Fridays from now folks. We're playing this game I want you to go down in the comments below And tell me the number one thing you're most excited to do in tiers of the kingdom That's what I would love for you to put down in the comments Because I want to know what you're most excited about doing We'll have in the next video a new thing for you to maybe go down in the comments To tell me what you want to do in tiers of the kingdom or whatever we're talking about at the time I don't even know maybe there's other nintendo news going on because remember today advance wars one plus two reboot camp came out We can't be forgetting about our little advance war buddies Uh, the absolutely fantastic franchise. I would love to see a new one not as excited for this as I would be a new one But still hey, it's it's out today It is technically the release of the day and yet we're talking about tiers of the kingdom again It's almost as if uh, this is what matters I'll catch you guys in the next video


Hi, just me today Hey, welcome back to our stupid directs of Corbin There's no one else here because it's just me and you can also subscribe to do more juicy content Thanks for your support some patreon follow through to the count subscribe. You haven't hit the like button Chugging down that juicy content for you right there And today we're doing a movie of you insert Rick going Because that's what he does and we're doing a movie of you of 2018 the 2023 Malayalam drama thriller about the Floods the 2018 Kerala floods Directed by Jude Anthony Joseph and if you're wondering hey, why is it just your? Beautiful sexy face on screen one. You're welcome, too There was Rick was we were both going to the theater and Do different circumstances Rick ended up being over 30 minutes late? And after the film had already started and so he was like that's not fair to the film for me to come in 30 minutes late and so I went in and It basically he doesn't there's two other stings He doesn't have time this week because there's only one showing and it's far away and so basically it's just gonna be me I'll catch it on streaming But it'll just be me here today So sorry and or you're welcome. However you want to view that but we're doing a movie of you and it'll be a Spoiler review because there's it just came out here in the United States But it's been out for a couple weeks and there's other non spoiler reviews that were probably better for you But I'll get into the stuff. I liked the stuff. I didn't like how I felt overall. I liked the film I enjoyed the film. I didn't love the film There were issues I had with it and stuff that I thought Could have been better, but there's also stuff that I really appreciated about the film And I really want to talk about because it's quite miraculous some of the stuff that this film did But first and foremost I want to talk about the freaking The freaking set design of this film is incredible like I At times I was like did you guys at the time Find a flooded area and film in it. I was like that can't be what's happening, right? And then I did some research. Obviously, I think they built an entire small little village and flooded it To recreate a lot of the the stuff and it was I love practical effects. So the hats off to the Production design team it's through the roof. There was very few times And I know this the budget of this film was like something in the United States dollars like four million dollars or 20 crores or something like that for a Disaster movie is insane To pull off what they did and make it not look a garbage for lack of a better word Because it looked great. There was very few instances outside of maybe the helicopter flying at times Where you could see vfx so wet where the the practical and the vfx merged on like at least the sets and the rain and a lot of the the storms and stuff like that superb, I thought they did a phenomenal job in this film in that aspect I really that's one of the first things I wanted to to point out The other stuff I wanted to point out is is some of the performances Tavino Thomas, obviously is is probably your main lead in this film and I love to be no Thomas I think he's gonna have his trajectory is just going like fricking this with Menominary this and now arm right that's that's coming out He did a very good job With his character he probably had the most fleshed-out character and that's one of the the issues that I that I did have with the film Was there there's there's There's so much that they were trying to put into this film of true Stories that happened or or stuff they wanted to put and I think it got a little Kerbald for lack of a better word For a little while But his care and a lot of a lot of characters got completely fleshed out But his character is one that I think was the most fleshed out and I did I did appreciate that I enjoyed his performance in this. I thought he did a very good job and I thought the two songs were really nice as well and there was some really good moments in this Before I get into some of the other stuff that I didn't appreciate as much as I had some issues with There were some Like the moment that probably touched me the most in this because I I think this movie means It would mean so much more to a Mali Ali, right? Or what have you called yourselves and people from Kerala, right? Because you went through this it's like if somebody in the United States from New Orleans When they went to Katrina and they lit it was a devastating hurricane It would mean a lot more to them. Obviously you as the United States citizen It meant a lot to everybody and I was in San Antonio, Texas, which it wasn't too far from New Orleans, but So we got a lot of refugees from them kind of like the Tamar characters in this but It means I could see it meaning so much to so many people to see this story told and then to relives the the heartbreak and the The the terrible events that happened but also the beautiful overcoming with with People, you know coming together for the better humanity and that's that's one of the beautiful things about Disaster movies right is we can all come together as a species which we normally can't ever Which is one of the things a lot of people like about disaster movies And the fact that this isn't just a normal disaster move like day after tomorrow This is something real that happened is so I realized they wanted to Get a lot in there, but one story I did appreciate was when and maybe it's just because I'm a dad now The the dad with the the kid with either autism down syndrome or whatever he had That that whole sequence of trying to get out of the house and the dad trying to do everything in his power to protect his family and get them out and To the last breath holding up not only his son, but his wife It that part really touched me and my just once again might be because where I am in my life right now That part really touched me. I really I really like the part also there was a bunch of other parts of like when people came together and You know Weirdly the part of when you know the WhatsApp went out and then people showed up to help and I was like Because I I know that's true and I was like that's beautiful the people that actually came And to help when people were in need that was beautiful. I really enjoyed that Don't take CPR advice from to be no Thomas Not good Not good at all Also, even though he's a soldier he doesn't know how to you know focus on his stuck foot Which he instead of you know trying to swim off me should you know try to adjust his foot there a little bit at the end But you know, that's that's nitpicking At that point and then there would I've seen some People comment because I watched some reviews to get to a feel of what other people were saying and they some people felt It was I'm emotionally manipulative in certain moments and I don't know that I felt that I could feel that there was definitely Overscoring in this film for sure not throughout but a lot of it especially in the big emotional moments where they wanted I could see that But that that wasn't one of my biggest gripes the there was I could see where at times Even though like I'm I know a lot of these stories were like the pregnant lady There was a pregnant lady evacuated and I did some research and I saw that a lot of these stories came from real Stories right but the way sometimes they write it in certain films in this film in particular The way they write certain things can make it feel even though we know it's real Kind of fabricated Even though it is real the people say cheesy dialogue or if they do cheesy things it's like that feels cinematic as opposed to You know real and so I could see that in a lot of places in this film It definitely got better in the second half of this film the first half there was there was And so I'm getting into some of the parts that I didn't like and I'm sure there's some that you guys Probably will know that I will not like about this film But the dubbing was terrible Especially in the first half and I know the film's budget was like once again 4 million and so that I think they put their money in the right place in terms of practical effects and and so I get that but I do Have to point out that There's fell the films that I've seen especially in the modeling industry that either do a sync sound hopefully Or just do dubbing better because it wasn't the best dubbing job that I've seen in a film for sure This film was very formulaic in terms of you knew what was going to happen In how it was going to unfold in terms of like the dad The son not liking the fishing you knew he was probably going to become a fisherman The There's there's also other elements of like a cobra Just popping up on something he needed to get once again, even if it is true it just And I just doubt it at that moment that that was true.  I don't know why you need the characters And two I don't know why you need those actors If you're gonna if that's going to be the white people representation in Indian films Just use like sex dolls because they're probably going to be a better performer than what you normally get outside of mark the goat white bennington um But like they're they're I didn't understand their plot if they were supposed to be a comic relief I was like, I don't even know why we need a comic relief here. Okay.  Uh, luckily they weren't in it forever, but they weren't in it definitely too much I agree There with myself Let's see what else Oh, yeah, like I said at first the because it was a lot of the setup and it was a lot of dubbing Errors and There was too. I think there were too many characters in this. I think they definitely could have cut down On a lot of characters and focused on a few characters Stories to drive us through to to get us even more emotionally connected to these certain characters Like we did to tovino thomas Um, I think you could have cut out a lot of people you could have also added I've seen other people say this some female characters like female characters were almost non-existent like in terms of meaty female characters Um in this so they definitely could have added some there and taken away from other people Uh, I liked the dad the the dad who once or once again, this is spoilers dad who died Uh in it. I I like that actor. I liked that relationship Uh a lot And like I said, there was stuff I I enjoyed in this film Uh, there was stuff I I didn't so much enjoy but I can easily but I overall enjoyed it But I can easily see why this is getting so much love right now Especially from people for people in carola that experienced this I could feel the heart of this film while I was watching it And I could I could feel there were a few people in the theater the the later showing the 9 p.m. Showing Which is way past my bedtime, you know Um Is almost packed and so this film is doing great and that's wonderful and I love that especially for the malayama industry who Um, you know, it's harder for them to get this broader appeal and broader distribution. We didn't get this film until two weeks later Um, so I'm so happy that it's it's doing well Um, I just wish maybe it was Kind of edited a little better together Maybe cut out some of the fat in terms of the a couple of side stories and stuff like that Um, but overall I enjoyed it. I definitely have a lot more to like than I than I had to dislike for sure And I'm glad I got to see it on the big screen because I think that added to the impact that that that had had on me But uh, you guys let me know what you thought about this film If you liked it if you didn't like it Thoughts on what I said Uh, and if you were if you went through this if you were from carolin, you actually went through this Please, uh, please let me know down in the comments below. I would love to hear your story. Um, because I do Even though I hate people I love stories about humanity coming together Because that's when people are at their best Usually Um When they're trying to help each other, right? Uh, so I I love that. So let me know what you thought about this film and which will be our next malellum film down below


We are on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange on this Friday to talk about the markets with Jim Kramer and Jim. It is jobs Friday Yeah, look, this was a remarkable number a lot of people like to look through numbers But I did a study of this and get rich carefully my last book where I looked at every single employment number basically since We started Action Alerts and it's the most important indicator of where the market's going to go And you can't look through it if it's a strong number. It's good And if it's a weak number it tends to be bad unless the Fed is in a tightening cycle where it's already tightened To a point where it's overdone. We're certainly not there. So I take it with the notion I have a piece this morning real money saying it was just posted saying hey listen bears The reason what makes me more optimistic than you is because we have great employment growth And we're gonna have very good earnings and I don't know a great employment with with not a lot of inflation is Allows this the central banks to do what they want And that means raise rates which means we're gonna be led by banks and if we're led by banks And that's a good economy good market and your real money piece unbelievable about buying the dips with respect to Oracle Thank you. I mean look Oracle goes from 46 to 52 on a great quarter. It then pulls back to 48 Is that bearish in the environment that we have? Where people think that stocks going lower are therefore companies doing badly. That's why dip buying works But a stock goes down. It doesn't mean the company's doing worse It means that the environment has changed and that's why I think oracles a buy and there's a there's a dozen oracles out there I could give you Nike I bet you that Nike Important distinction or at the legal battles between Apple and Qualcomm continue David Faber's going on about this and you know He's he's really saying look it's an existential whenever you hear that word You always get really nervous existential conflict for Qualcomm It's either do or die and I don't like to be in a situation where that's the case Those who really want to play Qualcomm, you know, you got to do it with 50, you know You know some far out 50 strike call I think that Apple is a your own Apple. You don't trade it and this is more reason I think Apple's got the upper hand here All right actual errors plus holding Facebook There was a note out from society general saying that basically expectations are a little bit high here Yeah, I don't know where they get that. I mean, you know, you stick your finger in the air The fact is is that there's a note out today about Twitter and by how that they meet, you know Monthly average use good, you know, no growth Things may not be that great. We know that snapped, you know turned out right out of the shoot wasn't that great Well, where's everybody going yahoo? No, I mean if you have a one What you do basically a monopoly one Facebook on one video on Instagram I mean honestly when I talk to people they say listen, I'm really worried about Facebook I said why well because there's this company Instagram and it's killing it. Yeah, hey wake up That's Instagram Facebook. So I mean, I just think that when you hear that kind of channel check It's been so wrong so many times. You have to see the number I mean, you know people cannot make channel checks because Facebook's very tight-lipped I have like I do a lot of stuff with Facebook. They won't give you any information So I don't know where this guy's getting this information. All right Palo Alto Networks was upgraded at C Yeah, that was a good call. I've looked the monolees thing is jarring, you know, wasn't monolees is fault We know from these articles that I do like monolees. I like the snack business I think that the five-year plan to raise margins is fantastic Irene Roosevelt doing a good job to get margins up in a slow growth environment I think that Palo Alto is the natural call that people that to give they'll do fire I in order to be able to find out who did it Fortinet It's the one who actually it plays a little more offense But Palo Alto is the well-known name and I think that the upgrade makes a lot of sense And I think the Palo Alto had a really good quarter-last another good example of what I talk about how You everyone keeps saying Jim there's so much multiple expansion and you're dancing like Ray Dahlia said we're dancing Wait a second Palo Alto report a great number then the stock went up and then stocks done nothing But Palo Alto is good and it's got a new cycle coming so I like Palo Alto And you had Irene Rosenfeld on Mad Money last month. I mean look Irene. I mean, here's the problem It's food and there's an article that was so great today in the Wall Street Journal about food The the shelf space is no longer the mode because you can get a lot of stuff online Irene's done a remarkable job in the following way She has taken costs out costs out costs out costs out and now I think she can play a offense overseas I think snacks are going to are starting to do better because people like to snack now That's a secular positive economy. And how do we know that look at what what injury new? He's done with Pepsi. I mean, did anyone ever notice how great that stock is that's big action or something And stop training you talked about Kimberly Clark. Yeah There's an analyst Wendy Wendy who's really quite good and she was saying look if it weren't for the fact that Kimberly could be taken over she would be going to a cell on it now Goldman had a cell in Kimberly like it at 100 It was really dead wrong Kimberly is a great American company and the idea that they have they can't just that the growth is peaked there is Always makes me think well wait a second. That's the case and maybe Kraft Heinz should buy So what happens is is that she's saying there's a bit underneath for a lie Yeah, I like the piece and I like this the reason I gave it was kind of metaphorical There's a bit underneath for all of these companies whether it be Campbell's whether to be general mills whether whether be honestly You could say that is Monterly's where if the stocks really went down someone's going to buy it And and that's what the piece was about in Kimberly like she listen. I tell you to sell it, but someone might buy it Wow, I mean a really interesting moment for the packaged food and for the consumer packaged goods companies All right moving on Warren Buffett Berkshire Hathaway buying energy He's getting cheap like you know, I've been recommended his stocks. It's 19 what 83 and I reiterate my buy That's it. Yeah All right, we wanted to talk about a few things next week Monday We have our trading strategy you know And I look forward to listening to you in that that great group and you're doing a remarkable job And I get some really good ideas about it People don't talk about how you know we you have to have fixed income. You have to have gold Yeah, that you have or commodities, you know You really want to have foreign and that round table encompasses all the things for very sophisticated investors It's the only thing I know One or offline that you can get should cost thousands of dollars to be to listen. It's really good All right That's Monday at 11 a.m. And then the big thing next week is of course your AP call on Wednesday I'm going to explain a Lot of our say I like to explain some of what we've been doing and particularly a new it a new Initiation that is so so important also go over our ratings our weight and our weightings You know, I talked last night on that money about how there's some things you always wish you hadn't done I have been at you know, I've been adamant can't do well yet Adamant that you you know, you got to be careful with snap one You got to be careful with retail which is Walgreens July 11th remembers Amazon Prime Day Yeah, those have been the holes in the lineup And I will I address the holes every single time because I think if you can control your losses your winners run and oils been terrible Retail's been terrible, but the others been good And this is such a great opportunity to get your insight beyond 140 characters.
