Good morning. Welcome to CMC Markets on Friday the 1st of December and a quick look at the week ahead beginning the 4th of December. Now it's been a while since I've done one of these. My absence has been for family reasons which I won't go into here but certainly we've seen a significant move higher in equity markets and we've also seen a significant reduction in bond yields and a sell-off in the dollar. So essentially what does that mean? Well in the past couple of weeks we've seen markets undergo a significant shift in when they think or how long they can think central banks can keep rates at current levels. Just before my my two-week absence the narrative was very much higher for longer with the prospect of rate cuts much before 2025. Pretty much not really up for discussion. I think you could probably make a case for the fact that we might see rate cuts at the end of 2024 but certainly I think the expectation was that we wouldn't see them much before that. So what's changed? Well quite simply it's the market perceptions of inflation and the recent inflation numbers from not only the US but also Europe, China as well obviously is in deflation or disinflation has really shifted the dial and consequently markets are now much more confident that central banks will be forced to cut rates potentially as early as the middle of next year or even sooner and not for good reasons either and I think that is really where I think there is some uncertainty as to whether or not central banks being forced to cut rates is actually a good thing because they are responding to a significant economic slowdown. Nonetheless we've seen big rises in equity markets over the course of the past couple of weeks. Well some equity markets anyway FTSE 100 has been really underwhelming and I think these concerns about the economic outlook have really manifested themselves in the oil price and the decline in Brent crude prices despite the events in the Middle East close to the lows of the last few months and obviously that has affected the FTSE 100 given the fact that it has a high number of commodity stocks in it because obviously if you get a weak economic recovery then obviously demand for basic resources starts to diminish. That said we are still edging higher on the FTSE 100 currently testing resistance at around about 7500 here this previous peak back in the middle of November we're struggling to get much above that. More importantly I think we're also very much in the downtrend that we've been in since we posted those record highs back in February this year so I think if we are going to get excited about a rebound in stock markets then what I really want to see is a breakout of the move higher from the downtrend in the FTSE 100. We've seen the DAX go from strength to strength that has really outperformed a bit like the S&P 500 but significantly despite the fact that we've rallied strongly from our October lows I mean that is a sizable move higher over the course of the last few weeks and it's been largely driven by an expectation perhaps that we are starting to see a bottoming out in manufacturing activity in the euro area or be it from very very low levels but also I think that for all the ECBs European Central Banks protestations that rates need to be higher for longer no one's buying it and to be quite honest I'm not buying it you know we've certainly seen the fact that rates bond yields in particular have seen a significant decline over the course of the past few weeks we can see it here in the UK we can see it in the US we can see it more importantly in Europe as well and if we look at the Germany two-year index which I've got here we can see that German two-year yields are the lowest levels since June so pretty much closing in on six month lows which suggests that the market is now looking to price in rate cuts from the ECB as soon as April next year I certainly would buy into that unless we start to see evidence that inflation is starting to bottom out but given the fact that German inflation has fallen really sharply since August and EU inflation EU CPI is now 2.4 percent well we're pretty much back to the ECB's inflation target and given the lagging effects of monetary policy you could reasonably argue that an awful lot of the heavy lifting when it comes to rate hikes actually hasn't completely filtered down into the European economy the UK economy or the US economy so as we look ahead to December and the end of the year the big week is the week just before Christmas it's see when we have the meetings from the Federal Reserve the ECB and the Bank of England now obviously not expecting any change in policy but I think one thing that these central bankers will want to do is they won't want to open the door fully to the idea that they are now starting to look at cutting rates anytime soon they've done the heavy lifting in fact you could argue that they've probably gone too far when it comes to rate hikes they've done the heavy lifting they don't want to start cutting rates until they're absolutely sure absolutely certain that they slain the inflation genie and you know people are talking about deflation I don't think we're there yet but that's not to say that we might not get there just on the basis of the fact that economic activity basically falls off a cliff we look at the two-year yield we in the US we look at the 10-year yield in the US we've seen significant technical breaks lower in all of the all of the all of the all of these charts here we saw that back earlier this month in November when we broke below those lows back in October at around about three at around about 450 on the 10-year we've now broken below that around about 4.3 percent if we stay below any if we get any rebound back to 4.5 and we could well do because I think that you will start to see some pushback on the behalf on the part of some Fed officials of this narrative that that rate cuts are coming because I think the last thing they want to do is loosen financial conditions to the point whereby inflation starts to find a little bit of a base just above that 2 percent area yeah we have seen a slowdown but an awful lot of the effects that we that we've saw from the high inflation of last year will now start to drop out of the numbers and inflation will start to stabilize in and around the current levels in the US of around about 3 percent and they'll want to make sure that that final move between 3.5 which is where the PCE is now and 2 continues to drift lower I won't want to see a significant pickup so we could get a pullback in 10-year yields back to 4.5 and that could well be dollar positive in the short to medium term which could then mean that we start to get a little bit of a stabilization after the big moves that we've seen in November and we have seen some big moves in November we see the very big moves particularly in equity markets but also in the dollar and also in bond yields so we look at the DAX if we do get further upside it'll be interesting to see whether or not we take out those previous peaks back here the record highs back in August so that's where I've got my particular eye on if we also look at say for example the S&P 500 we are back above 4,500 but I think it's also important to note that even though we are starting to approach these highs back from March 2022 in the last two years to all intents and purposes you've gone nowhere we've just wiped out the losses from 2022 and clawed them back to back to where we were at the beginning of 2022 so to all intents and purposes US markets haven't really gone anywhere if you look at it through the prism of the S&P 500 the NASDAQ 100 or the Dow obviously be broken higher on the NASDAQ and get rid of that this is another weekly chart so over four years trading above the previous July peaks but again as with the S&P we're back at the levels that we were at the beginning of 2022 if you actually look at the Russell 2000 the picture is completely different which is obviously a much better barometer of the US economy and look where we are there so even though the S&P the Dow and the NASDAQ are all back close to the levels in 2022 around here the Russell 2000 is not the NASDAQ to say that we can't recover back to the peaks that we saw earlier this year but certainly there is something not quite right about what's going on with respect to the US economy and I think that is being reflected in how the Russell 2000 has performed and is performing so what does that mean for the dollar going forward well obviously we saw a really big rebound in the dollar in November so sorry a big yeah we saw a little bit of a sell-off in the dollar in November what am I talking about and in the past couple of days we've seen that start to pull back a little bit and certainly if you look at these daily charts you could argue that we've seen a short-term top in euro dollar and we could start to drift back down and we could start to see a resumption or a consolidation of the recent dollar move that we saw to the downside dolly ends obviously got a bit weaker as well but certainly I think if we look at euro dollar on a daily basis on a weekly basis we may well struggle to make further gains and there's a couple of reasons for that obviously you've got the fact that Powell and a number of Fed officials will push back on the narrative of rate cuts but for me it's not about whether or not we get rate cuts next year I think we will it's the question of who starts the rate cut process now an awful lot of people have suggested it might be the Federal Reserve I struggle with that I struggle with that because the US economy is in a much better place than the economy in Europe the economy here in the UK and ultimately central banks generally tend to respond to economic weakness and if you're working on that basis then the ECB is probably the safest bet when it comes to rate cuts now I fully expect I would expect the ECB to start cutting first yes there are a number of hawkish members on the governing council but they only make up around about three or four central banks obviously Austria the Netherlands Belgium and Germany but for all of that when you look at the inflation numbers you know inflation is slowing very sharply Italy is in deflation now on headline CPI disinflation and PPI has been in pretty much deflation for most of this year and that generally tends to be a leading indicator now you might argue that we might start to see a pickup pick up an inflation at the start of the year and certainly I think that is a valid concern inflation generally doesn't slow in a straight line it ratchets up and down we've certainly seen that in the US in the summer where we bottomed out at 3% on CPI and then we edged higher we edged higher to 3.7% but we have now since started to drift lower again so looking at this chart you could argue that we could see a little bit of a pullback in euro-dollar to around about the 50-day or 200-day moving average to around about 107.40, 107.50 certainly you've got the evidence there that there is a little bit of a pullback and ultimately if you think that the ECB is going to be cutting first in response to economic weakness that's not going to be positive for the euro that's no better played out than in what euro sterling has been doing these past few days and weeks 20th of November we squeezed all the way up to 87.70 since then we've dropped below 86.50 we're now heading towards 86 and could well head back towards these lows here but ultimately euro sterling is a range trade has been all year and I don't expect that to change anytime soon also the Bank of England is probably going to be the central bank least likely to encourage the idea of a rate cut on the basis that headline CPI here in the UK is that much higher also we're still trending wage growth at 7.9% and services inflation is at 6.6% so I can certainly see the Bank of England pushing back on the narrative of rate cuts in the first half of next year whether or not of course we get them is another matter but certainly on the basis of who I think will be cutting rates first I think it will be ECB followed potentially by the Bank of England and last but not least by the Federal Reserve though you could probably interchange the Federal Reserve and the Bank of England but I certainly think based on the data the ECB will probably be forced into cutting rates first looking at cable seen a bit of a reversal there barely decent support of 125.90 what was particularly interesting about this particular move here was the highs in 2023 to the lows in October we got a perfect 61.8 Fibonacci retracement of that entire down move from 130.140 to 120.35 we've seen a nice pullback of that 127.20 area we've seen a fairly decent reversal here which might suggest that we could see a correction back towards 124.50 but while we're above 125.90 then we could see a retest of that 127.20 area but certainly I think at these sorts of levels we may be due a little bit of a pullback towards 124.60 while below this 127.20 area here and we're certainly looking overbought on the slow stochastic dollar yen similar sort of story we found a little bit of a base around about 147.146.80 seen a bit of a rebound back into the cloud but again here with the 50 day moving average that acted as a fairly decent barrier around about 149.70 149.80 and as long as that caps along with the cloud resistance we could start to see the dollar drift lower over the course of the next few days and weeks as we head in to year end but I think while we're below 150 we could drift back to 147 but we're probably we could go back to 151st before we start to drift lower again we could see a little bit of dollar strength in the short to medium term before we start to resume the downtrend that we've seen in the past few days let's have a quick look at Brent if like me you notice that petrol pump prices have become cheaper over the course of the past few days and weeks well yeah not wrong and this is why if we look at October the 7th which is basically when Hamas did that awful terrorist attack on Israel so a big move higher in oil prices but since then we've come all the way back down making new lows back here at around about 77 dollars a barrel and at the moment we're currently capped to 84.5 dollars a barrel why well because it's a fairly decent area of support through there resistance through there and resistance through there so I think as long as oil prices stay in and around these current levels then hopefully those prices at the pump will continue to come down certainly well certainly be keeping on that over the course of the next few days gold has taken an absolute surge higher back towards the peaks of earlier this year around about 2070 2080 I think that's the next key barrier much will depend on yields in that regard we've seen a significant slide in yields since the beginning of October and we've seen a significant rally higher in gold prices along alongside the weaker dollar this area here will be a big barrier and I think it'll be I'll be surprised if we break it this year we can certainly see that based on this series of highs through a year it's a big big barrier if we can get above it then we could well kick on but for the time being I would probably expect that to hold in the short to medium term so as we head into December not much in the way of earnings announcements but we do have non-farm payrolls to look forward to US payrolls last month's October jobs report was the first one this year when the headline number came in below market expectations though certainly not by enough to raise concerns over the resilience of the US economy the US still remains very much the best performing economy in the G8 unlike September when US jobs surged by 297 thousand jobs growth slowed in October to 150 000 while the unemployment rate ticked higher to 3.9 percent now obviously that's a good thing because what the federal reserve will want to see is unemployment edging a little bit higher we also saw a similarly weak ADP payrolls report as well so certainly the number of job gains is slowing we saw a softer ISM services survey as well and we've seen obviously yields come off quite considerably since that last payrolls report and as I said previously this is the next challenge for the US central bank who will be keen to at least give the impression that they're not going to be bullied by the markets into dropping their higher for longer rates mantra it's also it's also worth noting that the jobs the jolt's job openings are still elevated at levels of nine and a half million and weekly jobless claims are continuing to trend at around about 210 000 though the last claims numbers did see continuing claims jump quite sharply to 1.95 million up from 1.87 million so there's a big jump there expectations are for 100 around about 160 170 000 jobs to be added in November however you do need to remember that after the Thanksgiving weekend generally US retailers do an awful lot of seasonal hiring which could boost the numbers also the auto workers strikers have also the auto the auto workers strikes have come to an end so you could start to see those numbers get added back into the payrolls numbers so I think if we are going to see any evidence of cracking in the US economy we're not going to see it in the November payrolls report so I would expect to see a fairly strong number as I said previously the estimates for November payrolls were for a number in the region of around about 163 000 though that could well be revised up and the latest revision now is 200 so again when I when I originally wrote this little piece of a narrative it was about a week or so ago and the estimates have gone up from 163 to 200 so make of that what you may and also wage growth is still trending at around about four percent so I would expect next week's payrolls report this coming week's payrolls report to reinforce the narrative of a fairly resilient US economy we've also got services PMI's for November we have started to see some improvement in manufacturing but manufacturing numbers still remain pretty poor French economy fell into contraction in Q3 obviously weaker inflation numbers point to falling prices as well particularly when we see the manufacturing level the big question I think going forward is whether or not we're starting to see a slowdown in prices in the services sector and at the moment we don't appear to be seeing that to the same extent services inflation does appear to be a worry for the ECB we've also got the RBA who are due to meet later this week not really expecting anything surprising from them back in November the RBA took the decision to diverge from its recent peers and hike rates again by 25 basis points to 4.35 percent after five months of keeping them at 4 and 4.1 now you could argue this is an admission of failure that their decision to keep rates and hold at 4.1 percent was a mistake and I would certainly argue I certainly can't see the rationale for the RBA to hike rates but they have they did the big question now is whether or not they will be forced to cut them again sooner rather than later I can't see much in the way of upside for the Aussie dollar at this point in time if we look at the peaks of the last few weeks months rather there's a big big top at this 6890 area will be I think will be lucky to get back there there's a certainly resistance at the highs this week of around about 6680 so we really I think it'll be interesting to see whether or not they are hawkish or they continue to be hawkish in the same way that the RBNZ was earlier this week when they actually adjusted higher their expectations for their terminal rate which prompted a spike in the Kiwi we've also got China trade numbers for November we've got the Bank of Canada rate decision as well which could well be a fairly decent indicator for the Federal Reserve a week after that on full-time employment we haven't really seen any growth in the Canadian economy at all in the last three months so I can't see that there'll be any indication that they're going to be moving on the rate front there for in full-time employment we saw the first decline in jobs growth since May in the October jobs report a decline of 3.3% even though there was a rise of 17.5% between full and part-time all of the growth came in part-time positions and inflationary pressure is starting to subside in Canada as well so again I think we're looking at status crow very much on rates for pretty much all of this month on the earnings front we've got we're coming into the dying embers of the earnings season we've got phrases group owners of sports direct their first half numbers on the 7th of December and we've also got GameStop on the 6th of December and we've seen some really strong moves higher in GameStop shares on the back of some options buying where traders have been hoovering up $20 calls ahead of this upcoming Q3 earnings announcement for GameStop so obviously I think there's an expectation perhaps that we could get a decent set of earnings numbers from GameStop we will see sounds a bit like a false error into me but who knows in these markets these days anyway thank you very much for listening ladies and gentlemen hope you all have a great weekend and if you want to listen into the last non-farm payrolls this year on the 8th of December I'll be starting the presentation at around about 1 p.m covering the numbers live at 1 30 p.m you can sign up for it on the news page underneath webinars and events if you so choose thank you very much for listening have a great weekend and speak to you all next week


I am 2 hours north of Manhattan taking a look at a farm property and guys, just breathing the air up here, I am so excited. That being said, I have no idea how to operate a farm, you know, I'm not really handy and I certainly don't have the money to do it. What I do know is what constitutes high quality animal foods, what to feed those animals, how to raise them and I have unmatched integrity in making people happy and healthy. That being said, the two things I need from you guys are, one, someone that knows how to operate is willing to run a farm, you know, interns that have worked on farms, maybe a family looking to get into homesteading, people to partner with me and work with me, you know, move to New York, hypothetically, you know, live rent free in the housing, pay you guys a salary, work out the logistics down the line. So if you're interested in that, definitely send me an email down in the description below. Two is investors. I've had quite a few people reach out to me and already say, hey Frank, I'll fund the whole farm, I want to invest this amount of money, but I want an idea of how many people are actually interested in supporting this and the goal is to have a publicly owned farm and expand throughout the United States to provide everyone with quality animal foods. So hypothetically, anyone that pays a membership fee, anyone that invests, gets shares in the farm. You know, your $20 membership fee, you get 20 shares, you invest $50,000, you get 50,000 shares, keeping the company publicly owned will allow us to put our profits towards expanding and not compromise the quality of the product.  Short term goals, we definitely want to do eggs and chickens right off the bat.  No one has good quality eggs. So our first goal is going to be, you know, raise several hundred, a thousand chickens, get people quality eggs, then we'll start moving into dairy, and then if we have more land, if we have more investors, you know, we'll start looking into animals, wild game, just quality animal foods, as well as things people don't have access to and can't get. So if you guys are interested in investing, email down below as well, interested in running the farm operating, want to help me out, please reach out to me, guys. And as much as I would love to drop everything in my life right now and live on a farm with some smoke and Russian girl guys, honestly, listen, I swear, that would be the one thing I'd want to do.  I'd have to learn everything and for me to drop everything and learn everything, how to run a farm, do all that stuff, it's just not good with my time. So if you guys are handy, if you guys know what you're doing, engineers, whatever it is, you want to run a farm, this sounds good to you, definitely reach out to me. Investors, anyone looking at supporting this, we'll think of some perks, but either way, you're going to own part of the company, part of the farm, part of the property. We're going to take a look around the property and we'll see what you guys think, but this is just, you know, the first property we're looking at by no means is it set in concrete, but definitely needs to be in New York, somewhat close to me off the bat. New church building across the street. Here's a barn operation with the, there's a silo. Not sure if you guys can really see it, but there's a silo there. They used to have corn to feed the cows. Huge barn, some horse stables in there. This is the residential house. Pretty much a dump, knockdown, the pond. I was really excited for this, guys. If I have like a freshwater spring fed reservoir pond, you know, fresh water every day, jump in the pond, take a swim, hot, cold, dirty, seems really nice to have something like that.  There's even a chicken coop up there by the house. The land up there is another house. This is subdivided. They were telling me some like really rich guy whose dad made MTV or something, like owns the property over there, like about a hundred acre property, huge house on there. This is some pasture land. It goes up to woodland, but all of the land around here, it has been subdivided into making to houses. So this might not be ideal for agriculture from the standpoint where we're looking at, but there is some infrastructure here for, you know, from an older farm. But I think this was built like over a hundred years ago. So the property used to be a dairy farm. I don't know how many years ago, probably a few dozen right now. And they had, you know, over 50 head of cattle. I think they actually had a hundred head of cattle. That's what those grain silos were for. You know, they had the whole operation set up like this barn. You could put, you know, 50, a hundred cattle in here right now. The manure is handled, hay is handled, everything's managed already. It's four parcels now. It's the farm here. This is the buildings. We're in the farmhouse right now in the house. Right, and here's the barn, another barn down there. And then the one price we have on it, it's just with this one lot, the metal lot, and then for the 750, it's for everything. Okay, so this piece here, so 6.80 acres plus the 20.94 acres is how much? That's for 4.95. 4.95. This is 750, if you put these two lots with it. Now we're gonna add these two lots, which each, this one's 14.45, and this one is 11.35. Right, and that comes up to about 53, I think. Got it. And what type of, this is mostly woodland. Well, this is open until you get up to here. Okay. So this- You get up to here, you've got woods. See the woods in here. And some of this is good for pasture land. You can pasture it. Some of this gets pretty steep for pasture land when you get back up in here next to this parcel. So, right, just so you know, this was designed to build more houses. So what you see here are septic sides. I mean, they're in a million dollar house side, this one is a million dollar house side, this one already. And then the brothers, they bought this at the wrong time. And the owner was carrying a mortgage for them. And finally, they couldn't keep up in it. He took this back. Okay. And that's where we stand now with him. What is this over here? This is somebody else's property up here. That's just- That's a person from New York who lives up there. I think his father started MTV. Oh, okay. So this isn't for sale. This isn't for sale. These are owned by other people. This is- That could possibly be added to it. It's a lot that isn't owned by Gregory, but it's a parcel that I think could be bought. Okay. And there's a house on there, right? No, these are- No house. Oh, no house. These are proposed. The only two houses on it are here and here. Okay. And each one of these parcels have their own access by this private road. See, it comes into here. This private road goes up to here and it goes into here. This private road on this side, which is blacked out up to going into this house, comes up to here and brings off over to here. Okay. And includes this one, this one, and this one. Okay. What are these sheds? What are these symbolizing? These are proposed houses. Proposed houses. Okay. They're proposed houses. Some of this was past your land. You can see that some of it was past your land. Do you know what the herd size was by chance? What did they have, like 30, 40 cows? What the what? The herd size? Maybe we had- Oh, when they had the dairy farm? Yeah. Oh, they had 100 cows or more. That barn is equipped to hold a lot of cattle. There's one stable that's probably 70 and then they had 100 cows here. But they own more land. They own where the church is across the road. They own this up on a mountain. I see. Okay. And this was original boundary line. And this was original boundary line. But they owned all that. There was about a 300 and 300 plus acre farm, 300 plus or minus, I forget now. All right. So what's he paying them taxes for these three lots in the farm? I don't know what you mean without the- Without the exception? Without, just or either way. With it's about 35,000 right now. I mean, with no ag exemption, it's about 35,000. Oh, that's not bad for the house of these three lots? 35,000. Total? Yeah, I think that's- I don't think that's terrible. This house was paying, this house was almost 30 and just for the house? Correct. Well. That was crazy. That's all the taxes are up here? That's the taxes on this house were crazy. Hopefully they got those down. They were close to $30,000. And I think they were going to grieve them. Because I remember that was an issue- I went down the level. It did? A little bit, I think. Are we able to take a look at the barn or? Yeah, yeah. Okay, so these, see the ceiling height here? These are okay for horses. So you have one, two, three stalls for horses. And actually four, this is another horse stall. And then you see the ceiling drop. And so now it turns into cattle. What's the vintage of this barn, I forget? I forgot my sheep. What's the vintage of this barn? The dimension? The vintage. I don't have them down. No, the year it was built. Oh, I don't know. This one was built old. I'll tell you that. Yeah, right? Prior to 1900. This is a 19th century barn. Yeah. The original part here. And there was an addition put on over there. Okay. You pulled the truck right up here? You loaded the truck up here. Oh, wow. What were dairy going on here? Yeah. See, there were 70 or so, 75 would be my guest cows in here. Yeah. Yeah, the cows were all the same. Yeah, for sure. So the green from the silo's comes through here? Well, this was where they walked cows on both sides. This was the drops where the manure went. And then there was clay did out and sanded out here for the manure structure. All the manure went in there and they truck it away. Yeah, they keep all the manure. Do you sell your manure to the organic farm? No. I use it. Oh, you use it personally? I use it on the sale. So we started to dump, you know, on the board. I'm on the board for the first rescue in Dover. And for the first rescue in Dover. One of your guests, and he started selling it to the farm manure get-soul man, of course. This is the way you go into the silo. You've got a problem. I hope you can prove that. Oh, that's how you get into the silo? Right here, I think this one. That one did too. Oh, wow, look how cool that is. That's pretty cool, actually. Yeah. Wait, what did you say? Horse manure, or is it necessarily good for? Horse is not a good digester. So you've got weeds in it. I mean, it's OK, but if you use it around flowers, you think you could be putting weeds. Oh, I see into your heart. Weed steams. Yeah, OK, got it. So do you want to, I think, you're interested in seeing some of the land? It's the drive up here, right? What is it? There's a. Drive up a little bit if you want to see it. Yeah, we could do that. You want to do that? Do you want to hop in my car, Bob? We could do that. You've got a better car to drive across. So this could be all pasture up back in here? You can, well, this can all be pasture land. Some of it's grown up where you need a brush-shog. You can go up in here. I think I've driven up a little ways. I don't want you to. We drove up here once. Right, your car, but. Rebecca brought her BMW up here. Up in here, this is all part of it. There's a meadow up there. Can we go this? Is this still part of it? This is all part of it. OK. OK, right here. You've got to go to your right, and we'll go up on the hill. OK. This is the line. This is the line with the property. There's 125 acres or so up there on the hill. You're looking over towards the Siwon Gunks, and you see a bit of the Catskill. Right here, this is a meadow lot that goes up. As you guys could see, this is a complete dump knockdown. That older gentleman knew so much about the property. He's a real estate agent in this area. And I just don't think this offers any value from a housing perspective, from a barn perspective. I don't think any of these facilities are usable. And to the cost to build something like this, I don't think it's out of the realm of possibility to do it from scratch. To go in here, fix up all of these things, seems incredibly unrealistic. I'm not really sure where this stands from, like a land standpoint and access standpoint, with the ponds, with the woodland, the other parcels that are available. It's already been subdivided. This doesn't seem like an ideal property for what we want to do. I mean, it's pretty close, and I'm sure we could manage to do it on something like this. Let me know what you guys think. As I said earlier, reach out to me down in the emails below.


Hi everyone. My name is Cedric Geffen. Fielding is an AgTech startup company founded in 2013 in Israel and currently operates in the US, Australia and Israel. Our technology different to many other AgTech services and products which focus primarily on the agronomics, i.e. soil, water, plants, pests, nutrients, climate, et cetera, et cetera. Fielding's technology and service focuses on the operational side of the business. With ever increasing farm size, the complexity of multiple sites and assets, increasing costs of input and labour, it is becoming increasingly difficult for today's grower to maintain visibility and control. This is where Fielding steps in. We lift the veil and provide continuous visibility of the full range of equipment and the tasks on hand. Our sensors and tags are installed on all pieces of equipment relevant to the task.  How it is faring as far as efficiency of operation is concerned based on preset parameters of your choice. And we enable ongoing benchmarking of multiple operators across multiple sites. We provide the status of the completion of the tasks alerts in the event of exceeding or falling between below preset operational requirements and deliver reports on a daily, weekly, seasonal and activity basis. We believe that we increase profit. We know that we increase profit per acre by boosting efficiency and accountability. And we enable the grower to take remedial action and to drive efficiency and profitability. Our insights are focused on continuous improvement and enable the grower to motivate and incentivize workers based on actual results and tangible measurable outcomes. By setting goals and enunciating what success actually means, it is very easy to motivate staff and team members and then hold them accountable for achieving those metrics because you've got the data. We assist growers in producing better yields by enabling them to improve the accuracy of the delivery of the task. We improve the efficacy of their activities and there in turn we have an impact on the quality of the delivery as well as the quality of the outcome. Our reporting and analysis produces results and provides our customers with a means of tracking whether or not we're adding value. These are on-site, live, where possible and correctional activity can or action can be taken. Clearly we can also identify things on the truck. For instance, that people are operating at speeds that are outside of the instruction. We get alerts, we can correct that at the same time. All the results, we track them and the outcomes we track and we see the delivery and we see the outcome. So for example, on the left hand side of your screen, you see the number of skip grows, double sprays and speed issues fixed per 1000 acres over a period of time. And we can see that during this period of time, the number of activities that were reported was high in the beginning and thereafter it dropped. And the conclusion for that is that clearly by tracking this and taking correctional measures, the actual effectiveness has improved. Now, once again, you translate that to costs and ultimately you bring down the costs of what these activities are and the cost of the mistakes or the emissions or the recurring work, etc, etc. And all of that is the tangible outcome that is the return on investment. So what makes fielding stand out from the crowd? We do have a unique and sole focus on operations rather than an economy. Operational efficiency is our key success factor rather than just simply GPS tracking. There are many companies that provide that service we use tracking as a means to deliver that insight into operational efficiency. We are highly flexible and customizable in the solution that we provide because the insights that we provide each grower, not only is different between growers, they're different between the sites of each grower and they also alter and change as we grow with that client. So the insights that we provide in year one will be more rudimentary than the insights that we provide in year two, etc, etc. We handhold you. We are a true SAS model. So we are a software as a service model where retention, keeping you as a valued client as someone who is deriving benefit from us on an ongoing basis is our key success factor. So our grower success manager, that is the ultimate goal to maintain you as an interested party where we can show that we are delivering value on an ongoing basis. The other differential there is that we're interested in the data. So it is in our interest to maintain the hardware and the software so that you are agnostic to that. And we need to make that as seamless as possible because if we can't get the data we can't provide that insight to you and therefore that's our responsibility. At the end of the day, we provide continuous benchmarking not only against yourself, but also against industry gold standards. Ladies and gentlemen, the best testimony to the results of our labor and our service are our loyal clients. And at the end of the day, we would love to be able to gain you as potential interested parties and what better than getting glowing testimonials from some clients that are using our product. We'd love you to learn more and to engage with us. Please give us a call and we'd be delighted to talk to you further about our technology.


Because both the endocrine systems and the nervous system can act as integrators in various physiological pathways, you should know what the differences are, what are the characteristics that we're going to see in these integrating systems. So the first thing that we want to look at is, what is the message? They're integrators, but how do they communicate? And in the endocrine system, hopefully you're like, dude, I got this, the endocrine system communicates by hormones and hormones are chemical messages, right? That makes perfect, and that's it. So some gland that's involved in the endocrine system is going to secrete a chemical hormone into the blood, dump it into the blood and send it off to do its business. And that's what makes it endocrine. In the nervous system, the message is in the form of an action potential, and don't worry, I believe potential, I think this is the topic of our next one, and action potential is electricity, and that says electricity. Action potentials are electrical messages that travel down neurons, which are the primary cell in the nervous system. The electrical message is not the end of the story, there also is a chemical component of the nervous system's communication techniques, and that's called a neurotransmitter, and this is chemical. So see me right, Kim, right there, I fit it in. Endocrine, only chemical. In the nervous system, we've got an action potential, which is electrical, and the neurotransmitter, which is chemical at the end. So you can see that our messages themselves are different. Now, there's a couple of differences as far as like who's getting the message. Talk about the effector, who is the target. In the endocrine system, the target is anyone. In the story, anyone who has a receptor that matches the hormone that got dumped in. So if a no-cell has the receptor, then the no-cell can be the target. If the stomach has the receptor, then the stomach can be the target. So it's a general, the endocrine system acts generally. In the nervous system, it's extremely specific. The neuron has to touch.  They're not actually making contact most of the time. Most of the time, there's a space between the neuron and the effector, but that space is like really tiny. And so for all intents and purposes, especially compared to the endocrine system, they're basically touching, neurons touch the effector. So the target is super specific. Like if you do not touch, if the neuron does not touch the effector, then that effector is not going to be a target of that neuron. There is some speed questions here. The question is the speed of information getting out, information transmission, and the speed of the effect. So let's do transmission. How quickly does the message get out and effect? How quickly does the message translate into action? And here's the bottom line. The endocrine system is slow. We love it anyway, but it's slow. Nervous system, holy fast. You know that action potential that we were talking about? This crazy talk, 268 miles per hour? What? That's crazy fast. So the message, when there is a neural pathway involved in any kind of system, the message from the neuron cell body all the way to the effector, that message can travel at 268 miles per hour. It'd be really interesting to calculate the speed of a hormone and how quickly it can go through your whole body.  And of course, that's going to vary depending on how quickly your heart is beating, so how active you are. But a minute to get to a target, and even then, like, did the hormone actually hit the receptor that it was supposed to hit? A minute to get all the way through as opposed to whatever it would translate into if it's going 268 miles per hour. The nervous system is a lot faster. This is interesting. The effect duration, like, how long does the effect last? And in the endocrine system, it's long lasting. So when the endocrine system acts on something, it stays acted upon. The nervous system, the message goes out, the information is barfed, the effect is immediate, and then it goes away. If you want to keep the effect happening, you have to send another message at 268 miles per hour. So how do you say this? The nervous system message is short lasting. I know there's a better way to say that, but it's quick. It's almost instantaneous. It happens at that speed, and then it stops. So if you want to get another, if you want to see it again, you have to send another message. And that actually relates to the intensity of the effect. And how you can actually increase the intensity. So if you wanted to amplify the effect, for example, you send one action potential down your little neuron effector to try to get something to happen. If you want more effect than that, well, all you're going to have to do is increase the number of action potentials. And they're super fast, so you can.  To increase the effect of the endocrine system response, you just need to increase the amount of hormone. And that there's a whole feedback system responsible for making that happen. Now, the rest of this entire lecture, we're going to focus just on the endocrine system. So we're going to start out by looking at, dude, what is this hormone that you speak of? And some of that's going to feel like review. There actually are multiple different kinds of hormones. We're going to look at them, how they differ in their chemistry, and then how they differ in the effects that they come up with. We're going to look a little bit at some anatomical structures that are important in the endocrine system, at least at this point for us. We're not going to spend a huge amount of time talking about endocrine anatomy because the endocrine system really is, we will see it, we will see its involvement throughout this entire semester. It's involved in pretty much everything. All right, let's talk about hormones.


What is going on guys today I am back with another destiny video and today I'm going to give you guys five recommendations on weapons you should definitely check out this week the weekly reset start in the 20th of June 2017 and the first weapon we're going to take a look at belongs to the Crucible Quartermaster and it is none other than the B29 party favor now it's got various weapons here some are got ok rolls this week some are got pretty bad rolls and the party favor in my opinion is probably the best rolled weapon the Crucible Quartermaster has this week and what I need it's got head seeker we got on it small ball or rifle barrel and we got on it outlaw which is what you want to use outlaw rifle barrel and head seeker now we all know this shoots pretty quick it will take some actual doing hitting target range with this weapon and this roll but still at close to mid range this thing will tear shit up there's no two which ways about outlaw rifle and head seeker so if you need a fast firing rate push rifle definitely check out the party favor this week offered by the Crucible Quartermaster next up we have a vanguard weapon and the weapon which has been featured on this video numerous times because it keeps coming with decent rolls and that is the Parthian shot the legendary two burst head shot kill pulse rifle and mid to long range weapon no doubt about it this week we have on it head seeker breast frame and outlaw breast frame does take the magazine size down to 21 bullets but if you need 21 bullets to kill a enemy which will theoretically take six to eight bullets to kill them you should stop playing this game right now because even I can with this thing so yeah outlaw breast frame and head seeker great roll to be honest it needs stability which it's got faster reload with outlaw and head seeker which you can't go wrong with on pulse rifle so yes the Parthian shot is quite decent this week next up we have a dead orbit weapon these don't get featured that much because dead orbit always brings garbage weapons to me well in my opinion anyway but it's none other than the worlds to come zero zero one if you're a legendary fusion rifle fan this thing look at it we're going to range finder we've gotten it hammerforged there's two range perks already we've got accelerated cruise if you want accelerated cruise or we've got lightweight but even so accelerated cruise rangefinder and hammerforged this thing is gonna be a monster I mean I'm actually slowly getting used to fusion rifles within PvP I'm loving my Saladin's visual at the minute the Praetorians foil as well as a beast of a fusion rifle so yeah one add this to the collection and may just do that next up we have well the final two weapons both come from future war court this week and the first one we're going to take a look at is the warpath right here now we all know the warpath is quite a decent it depends on the role PvE or PvP weapon last week he saw the decent PvP version of this weapon today we've got a PvE in my opinion on it we've got cluster bombs we've got any heavy payload which actually maxes out blast radius or you could go with battle runner we've got field scout or snapshot we've got any confined launch we've got linear compensator and we've got any counter mass so yes definitely one worth looking at and the last weapon we're going to look at in this video is none other than the whale now the whale to me is such a underrated hand cannon there's not too much ways about it if you've got a decent role on it you will know it's actually a beast it really is this week we have rangefinder the best range perk in the game for hand cannons we've got any hammer forged another range perk which isn't too bad or you could go with outlaw and we have explosive rounds or lightweight so when how this one glance plus two character agility with two range perks i mean that's just redon characteristic really is and it's also got as well sure shot so yeah you can't go wrong sure shot explosive rounds if you want to use explosive rounds lightweight outlaw or hammer forged and rangefinder a beast of a hand cannon one i will definitely be picking up this week for damn sure but guys that is it for another video if you enjoyed it hitting that like button is much appreciated on my behalf if you're new around here be sure to subscribe for daily destiny videos and i will see you as always on that next one


Let's look at the character of Miss Havisham in great expectations. Now, even if she is not the protagonist of this story, she is a very remarkable and memorable character who impacts the lives of all the characters, primarily Pip and Estella. However, of course, we also learned that she has lots of other connections to other characters, and we learned that she is a very bitter, very angry recluse who was jilted on her wedding day several years ago. However, she has never gotten over being rejected at the altar in her wedding day. Hence, she remains dressed in her wedding clothes. She also leaves her wedding food in another room in her massive large house to decay, and she stops all the clocks to the time that she was jilted on her wedding date so that she is unaware of time passing and the passage of time. We learned that she hates humanity. However, in particular, she hates all men because she sees them as symbolic of the man who basically rejected and jilted her on her wedding day, and she makes it her mission to basically raise Estella, who is her adopted child. She raises her, and of course, she's an orphan. She raises her to basically hate men and use her beauty in order to betray and mistreat men. So when Pip comes into the picture as a young boy, Miss Havisham sees him as almost practice for Estella in honing her really horrendous, malicious behavior towards men, but she really aims this at Pip, and both Miss Havisham and Estella basically misguide Pip into believing that she hopes that Estella and him will marry, but she never has any of these intentions.  However, she is a very powerful character, and of course, she is one of the more remarkable characters that's very well known and great expectations. Now, of course, if you're writing about great expectations, she is definitely one of the key characters that need to be very well versed in knowing, understanding, and you also need to have lots of quotes ready to analyze. So as you can see behind me, I have selected all the relevant quotes to remember when it comes to the character of Miss Havisham, and of course, the word of analysis you can do when analyzing each quote. So let's go over them in detail. And these quotes are a mix of both others' descriptions, of course, Pip's description of Miss Havisham, but also what she says within the novel. Now, the first quotation to bear in mind is when Pip is describing her as an immensely rich and grim old lady who lived in a large and dismal house, barricaded ellipsis, a life of seclusion. So this sets up Miss Havisham's character. She almost seems to be this mythical figure. Because she never goes back out into society, she secludes herself and she never leaves her large, decaying house. The word of analysis you want to do here in establishing Miss Havisham as this very bitter, reclusive woman who is jilted, which means rejected at the altar, is firstly the adjectives rich and grim. So whilst she's very wealthy, she's very well-to-do, she's part of the upper class, she illustrates the mistake that many Victorians make in assuming that just because you're upper class means that you're a happy person, you're a more moral person. In fact, actually, she's quite immoral in her actions and in her treatment of Estella. The other key word of analysis to do is the elicitation of Elle in Lady, Lived and Large, which emphasises her as this almost mythical primordial creature that's living within this house, whom people almost think is kind of this legend, okay? Of course, Pip beholds her and he is shocked at what he sees. The second quotation from Miss Havisham's character is what Pip notices as he's looking around her house, her mansion, which is decaying. He notices that her watch had stopped at 20 minutes to 9 elipses and of course, this is the time at which she was jilted on her wedding day and she stops the passage of time so that she is unaware at how time passes. Now, the word love analysis to do is firstly the noun watch, okay, this is describing how she doesn't want time and she doesn't want to have any awareness of time passing. Also remember, women's beauty is tied to their youth and hence, with the passage of time, a woman's beauty fades. However, Miss Havisham does not want to understand or realise that her beauty is fading. So one of the aspects of her stopping time is so that she's also unaware of her fading beauty, of her fading appearance. The other word love analysis you want to do here is the elicitation of T in 20 and 2. Now, the third quotation to bear in mind for Miss Havisham's character is when she tells Estella she wants to raise Estella to be this, almost this curse on the race of men. She states, break their hearts, my pride and hope, break their hearts. Now, hey, you want to focus on the repetition on what she says, break their hearts. She says this emphatically. She really wants to seek revenge on compassin, the man that basically jilted her at the altar but also seek revenge against all men and she really hones in Estella and also I suppose she's very abusive towards Estella as a way of basically making her into this figure and moulding her into this female character who basically uses her beauty to allure men but then ultimately break their hearts. This is what Miss Havisham's end goal is. The other quotation to bear in mind is when Miss Havisham classifies and categorises real love as she states, real love ellipses, it is blind devotion and questioning self-humiliation utter submission, trust and belief against yourself. This is what she believes love is and of course you can see here, she's very bitter, she believes love is very misleading, very dishonest and the person that is honest within the love is the person that's ultimately misguided and of course this is a reflection of how she was when she was in love with the man that never ultimately loved her back. Now, the word love analysis you want to do first is the hyperbole blind devotion where she's saying that real love is somebody who basically goes against any reason, any rationality but also you want to focus on the structural technique which is listing of all the negative qualities she believes and she associates with love, okay? So there's lots of listing of blind devotion on questioning self-humiliation, utter submission, trust and belief so she's basically saying that love is a very irrational thing and she regrets the day that she ever fell in love because she then became irrational. The other quotation from Miss Havisham's character is when she tells Pip, she's so happy that Pip has fallen in love and she basically tells Pip whatever Estella does to you, you are to accept it and you are to still love her. She states, love her, love her, love her. If she favors you, love her. If she wounds you, love her. So here, she's basically so gleeful that Pip is basically falling under the spell and the beauty of Estella and she's really happy. She wants Pip to basically become her first victim and he does. Now, the word love analysis you want to do here is firstly the repetition of love her. It's repeated three times and of course this belongs to an exclamatory sentence showing just how gleeful Miss Havisham is that her schemes are working. The other quotation for her character is when she states, the broken heart, you think you will die but you just keep on living day after terrible day. So here, she's talking about how she herself almost felt like she would die when she was jilted but almost this life became this dreary process of living.  So the words die and living are opposite terms and life is almost this curse for Miss Havisham as a result of her unrequited love. The final quotation to bear in mind for her character is when she seems very, very regretful of her actions, especially towards Estella and also she realizes that what she did in terms of seeking revenge against all men was wrong and she states, when she first came, I meant to save her from misery like mine. So basically she's saying the reason why she made Estella such a negative and horrible person is almost to harden her against falling in love with men. Now the word love analysis you want to do here is firstly the pronouns of Estella relating to Estella which is she and her and also the other word love analysis you want to do is the alliteration of misery like mine. So of course here Miss Havisham is showing how mistakenly she believed that if she made Estella really horrible, really malicious, she would never fall in love but also she forgot the other element of if Estella never falls in love, Estella herself will never know true love and true happiness. So of course we can see that towards the end of the story Miss Havisham does regret her actions, she begs pit for forgiveness, however we find that she changes a little bit too late and ultimately dies a really terrible, horrible death. So that's it when it comes to the key quotations relating to Miss Havisham's character.


Hi, I am Dr. Saurav, working as a consultant in the head of department for the department of spine care at Manipal Hospital in Dwarka. Here, we are dealing with all the modalities of spine, including the mechanical, the infective, traumatic tumors, including metastasis and the osteoporotic fracture and the deformity correction for all spine ailments. Here, we offer the state-of-the-art technology to manage all these problems, including the traumatic and the infective spine. We are dealing, it is to emphasize that most of the spine patients can be managed conservatively rather than mean operatively. It is only the fourth-five percent of the patient group that will require surgical intervention. Here, we are dealing with both of the conservative treatment modalities, including the pain management, which includes epidural steroid injections, and the ideal frequency ablation of the nerves. In the minimally invasive spine group, we are dealing with all the microscopic endoscopic as well as the minimally invasive fusion procedures. Including for the deformity corrections. The aim of this department is to provide a pain-free, mobile life to all the individuals.


Hello everyone, I'm Dr. Srikanth. I'm a consultant, pediatric gastroenterology, hepatology, nutrition at Manipal Hospital's Bangalore. Newborn and in early infancy jaundice can occur because of two reasons. There can be a normal jaundice, what we call in medical terms as a physiological jaundice. So most of the babies do have that and they recover eventually and it is not a serious condition. But there is something called pathological jaundice or a serious jaundice and which points towards a serious liver disease and which require a detailed evaluation and a treatment. So how do you know that whether your baby has a serious jaundice or not? One of the clue, apart from yellowishness of the eyes, what we call jaundice, the urine of the baby becomes yellow, very dark yellow and stains the diaper or whatever cloths it comes in contact and at times the stool becomes very pale or a whitish stool. So this says that your baby has a serious disease of the liver which needs evaluation and subsequent treatment. So how do we evaluate a child or investigate a child of your baby who has a serious liver disease? So we would run a battery of blood investigations, we call it as liver function test and child may require a ultrasonography of the abdomen to see at the liver and many other investigation to look for the exact reason. So what are the reasons for liver disease in early infancy or neonatal period? It can be because of the congenital malformation where the development process of the liver is incomplete because of these two reasons. Then can we have metabolic liver disease where baby is not able to handle certain metabolites in the foot and because of that the liver is dysfunctional. So based on various tests, we try to find out what is the reason for this and if the disease is in early stage then we can treat it with some medical managed measures like withholding of food products or with some medication or if it is in the advanced stage child may require surgery and in a very severely advanced stage liver transplantation would be the only option. So it is better to get evaluated at an earlier stage so that we can prevent or postpone the requirement of surgery or liver transplantation.


Welcome back to the fan dual hurry up. I'm Maria Marino for fantasy sports and network alongside Jim Sonnis Our number fire analysts We're gonna go over all the players whose stock is down after what's been an eventful week three And we're gonna start with some bad news over in San Francisco With Jimmy G going down and that means Marquis Goodwin's stock is going down as well Yeah, I think it's down for pretty much every member of this offense including Marquis Goodwin Here because with Jimmy Garoppolo potentially out for the year due to a torn ACL it hands reins the offense over to CJ Bedford and we saw a lot of CJ Bedford last year and what we saw wasn't really good If you look on a per drop-back basis, he was half a point worse per drop-back than Jimmy Garoppolo So if we give them 30 drop-backs over the course of a game The 49ers would be expected to score 15 fewer points with CJ Bedford Then they would have been with Jimmy Garoppolo and that is a monumental drawback And you look at the 49ers past catchers like Marquis Goodwin like George Kittle None of them really have a huge target market share Which means we can't really count on them for that and when you take away the efficiency They would have had Jimmy Garoppolo. It's a major downgrade for them You could say the same thing for the running backs because Alfred Alfred Morris and Matt Breda are still in a timeshare right now And I don't want a timeshare backfield that is tied to an offense that it will likely struggle to score points They go on the road to face the Chargers in week number four And I think that in that situation the Chargers defense really is very much in play for DFS and I And not inclined to touch any part of this 49ers offense until one of them develops a really solid role Where they're guaranteed to get like 30% of the targets per week because until we get that I can't really feel confidence CJ Bedford, you know He had some flashes sometimes last year, but it really the larger sample was discouraging So it's really tough news. We don't get to watch Jimmy Garoppolo's had some face on our TVs anymore But also we don't get the the efficient targets from his arm for the past catchers you know So Marquis Goodwin, George Kittle, Alfred Morris, Matt Breda I think all really trending down with this news about Garoppolo's knee Just an unfortunate situation, you know this time last year We didn't know what was gonna happen with the 49ers, but toward the end of last season We thought hey it looks like they have their franchise quarterback and now it's all a big question mark So Marquis Goodwin's stock is down


Freedom. Today I wanted to talk to you about something a little bit more serious. I wanted to talk to you about whether freedom can enable paid content on your channel. If you've ever looked on your features page, there is this little thing called paid content. Now, the short answer is yes, we can enable it, but hold on, wait a minute, before you go off and ask support or anyone else if we can enable it, let me clarify something. This does not mean that you get paid for the content on your channel. No, well, kind of. It means putting your content behind a pay wall, meaning that people have to pay upfront before they can see your content. Kind of like a Netflix or a pay-per-view model. That's what this is. This does not mean that you can make money on your videos. That is just simply enabling monetization, which any partner can do here on freedom. Now, the paid content feature is actually designed for channels who have large amounts of premium content. Let's say if freedom partnered up with Netflix or Hulu or, oh, I don't know, let's say Family Guy, the television show. They could put their individual episodes up on YouTube and allow people to purchase them for either a subscription of $4.99 per month for the entire channel, or they can also do it as, say, $0.99 per episode. That's what that is and that's what it's designed for. This is not something given out to just normal partners. In addition to that, putting normal YouTube content, especially for gamers and a few other small subsets of content creators, putting your content behind this paywall can actually cause you major issues. So that's one of the reasons why we are so tight with it. So for instance, with gameplay, a lot of game developers are okay and cool with Let's Plays. However, they do say that you are not allowed to put that content behind a paywall. Also, in addition, there are some things with music licensing and other things, and it can also affect your ability to make a fair use defense when it comes to copyright. Not entirely, however, that is a factor. So anyways, short answer is yes, we can do it. Longer answer is yes, we can do it, but it's not for everybody. In fact, it's not for most people. I hope this video has been helpful for you. If it has, let us know in the comment section down below. Until next time, don't forget to like, subscribe, and do all those things that make us love our jobs. Also, be awesome to yourself and amazing to each other.


Members of the 1st Cavalry Division forward, the 1st Combat Aviation Brigade, 1st Infantry Division, the 1-131 Aviation Regiment, and Bosnian military personnel conduct joint Medevac training on the 20th of May in Tuzla, Bosnia and Herzegovina in support of Defender Europe 21. Defender Europe is a prime example of U.S. forces working together closely with NATO allies and partners in peacetime, so together we are prepared for a crisis. So it's important to work with our partners from other nations to do this medical training, to basically learn the basic skills of getting our patients from point of injury to some medical care. And that includes getting them on Medevac, a medical helicopter. And this can be a dangerous situation, so it's important to train together to learn how to get them safely onto the helicopter so we can get that patient to care and save that soldier's life. Building stronger strategic relations is a prerequisite for regional stability and security. In a medical capacity, you know, there's injured patients all across the world and, you know, we're dealing with helicopters, we're dealing with ground platforms, and when we work with our partners and we're all on the same page, then it keeps us safe, it keeps the patients safe, and we're able to keep a level of medical care that is top notch.


Now we go ahead towards the cell division, cells need to grow, organisms they need to grow, they need to increase in their size sometimes, sometimes they are wounded and they need healing, they have to increase in number. We call this cell division, there are two types of cell, cells if we are considering the division. We will talk about, there are some cells called somatic cells, there are some other cells called germline cells. Somatic cells are most of the cells of the body other than the gametes. The germline cells are the cells which are called gametes which are present in the reproductive organs, testisone ovary of the males and females and these are the cells which are responsible for making the next generation. We are talking about the division in somatic cells first. The somatic cells need to divide for growth, for wound healing, for regeneration or other mechanisms. These cells divide by a process called mitosis, while the germline cells they divide by another process called meiosis. In this, in today's lecture we are going to talk about mitosis. In the diagram above, you can see a dividing cell, this is actually, I must not say a diagram, this is a picture that is taken through microscope and these are the onion cells, onions epidermal cells. You can see when you cut down an onion, you can see a small membrane. These are the cells of that membrane which are dividing. Before talking about division of the cell, the cell division, we have to talk about that what is the whole process of dividing. When cells are produced, after that for some time they normally perform their function. When they need to divide, they have to enter a cyclic process called cell cycle. What is cell cycle? Cell cycle is the sequence of events by which a cell divides and then go back to the non-dividing state. The cell cycle consists of two major phases, one is called an interface which is actually very long phase and it consists of three sub phases called G1 or gap 1, S phase or the synthesis phase and G2 for the gap 2 phase. After the interface, next phase is the M phase or mitosis phase or the division phase. Interphase is actually a preparatory phase for the M phase because cell need to prepare itself for division before it enters into the division phase. The G0 and the gap 0 is also called a resting stage. This is the stage when cells do not divide. Here you can see a diagram which shows the interface and the mitotic phase, the M phase. As you can see that interface makes about 80 to 90 percent of the cell cycle and the remaining small phase is called the mitotic phase M phase. Interphase as you can see is again divided into these three phases as I have described the G1 or gap 1, the S or the DNA synthesis phase, the G2 phase then comes the M phase. After M phase just at the start of G1 cell can enter into the G0 phase or the resting phase and stop dividing. If cell enters into the interface then it means it is going to divide. If it is not going to divide, it is genetically programmed to not to do so then it is staying in the G0 phase. For example, our nerve cells they do not divide, they stay throughout their lifetime, throughout our lifetimes in the G0 phase. This is the reason that if there is an injury to the nerve cells they are never replaced because these cells do not divide for wound healing or for replacing themselves. Now we look at the details of these phases. The gap 1 or G1 in this phase, this is the first phase of the first part of the interface in G1 cells increase in size and as we know that after G1 phase the next phase which is coming is the S or the synthesis phase, synthesis is the DNA synthesis phase in which DNA have to be synthesized. In the gap 1 or G1 phase cell prepare itself for the DNA synthesis we call it replication or duplication. The DNA of the cell have to be duplicated so that the cell produces those materials which are required to make the new DNA, to duplicate or replicate the DNA. There is a G1 checkpoint, there is a control mechanism. This control mechanism checks or G1 checkpoint checks that whether all the materials which are required for entering into the S phase in the synthesis phase are they ready or they are not. If all these materials are ready then cell enters into the S phase. If they are not cell have to complete making of those elements for example if an enzyme required for DNA synthesis is not formed or is formed in lesser quantity then G1 checkpoint stops cell from entering into the S phase and it will make the enzyme and then enters into the S phase. The S phase is the phase in which the DNA is synthesized and the cell actually duplicates its DNA. As we know that DNA is present in the form of chromosomes and chromosomes are present in pairs. For example human beings have 46 chromosomes. These 46 chromosomes are present in 23 pairs. All of these pairs because we know that mitosis is a division which will make two daughter cells and these daughter cells should have an equal number of chromosomes. This is the reason that in the S phase before division cell have to duplicate all of these chromosomes so that both the daughter cells should have an equal number of those chromosomes. So in synthesis phase DNA is synthesized and all of the chromosomes are duplicated they are actually double to their initial number. There is an S check when the DNA is duplicated. This checkpoint at the control mechanism checks that whether the DNA is duplicated and it is is it correctly duplicated if this is not cell have to redo these things. If cell is not able to do so it have it is stopped when it completes its things which are which are required which are required for the duplication and duplication is complete and correct then cells enter into the gap 2 or G2 phase. Now comes the G2 and the gap 2. In this phase cell again continue increasing its size that is it grows and as we know that after gap 2 phase the phase which is coming is the mitosis the division phase. So in gap 2 phase cell collects all those materials which are required for division. The most important element the most important thing which is made or produced during this phase are the microtubules because microtubules are required to move chromosomes to attach with the chromosomes and then move them to correctly towards the poles of the cell. There is a G2 checkpoint which checks whether all the materials required for the M phase complete or not. If they are complete checkpoint allows the cell to go ahead towards the mitosis or the division or if they are not complete then the control mechanism stop the cell over there and cell have to remake all of its materials. When it completes the cell enters into the M or mitosis phase. Now mitosis M phase the division in mitosis basically mitosis in the mitosis cell have to be duplicated cell have to divide into two daughter cells at this division cell growth is totally stopped as we know that in G1 and G2 cell was growing but in in mitosis phase cell stops its growth because for growth cell needs to apply energy and for a division the cell division is a process which require lot of energy. So cell put all of its energy for division only and it do not grow during this phase. There is a check when the cell is dividing there is a checkpoint almost at the end of the mitosis which checks that whether the mitosis is correctly carried out or not. If this is not cell is stopped from entering next phase from dividing if it is ok cell go towards dividing into two.


stand that so obviously i am i'm very happy to pay this rate increase that's it thank you anybody else okay i think we've all gone no mark make up your mind are you raising your hand or not okay no more hands all right coming back to the uh the board all right so uh i don't know if anybody has any comments uh in addition to what we heard there's a lot i make a motion uh you can uh i was just gonna say lois before you make a motion if that's what you'd like to do uh we don't have to do anything right now so we don't have to go to the freezer stop it we don't have to uh we can take no action if we choose to or we can vote to get knock it down so those are i would go ahead and make your motion i would like to make a motion to keep the rate increase because we need to get this budget done and we need to have an answer none of those three things were staff was not saying we should do any of those three things and i i agree with um those who said we need to trust our staff and the reason we have a district manager is to give us information and we have a financial director i'd like to make a motion that we keep the rate increase and get the budget rick your hand is up uh yes i wanted to make a comment uh i'm quite willing to second that motion uh as long as i get an opportunity to make a comment about the subject of the budget all right i don't know let's ask uh gina are we in order or are we uh stepping on our toes it's appropriate for director moran to make a comment if he wishes prior to seconding a motion thank you go ahead rick all right uh so here i am trying to um put my head around all this a lot of this stuff is uh new to me in the regard of i never paid attention to my water bill when i was going to school or 15 years ago um but it has become something that's important to me now um so when i hear that the water the price of water has been historically underpriced all right i'm going to take that as uh an honest answer all right so that's part of maybe why um other people have spoken about the the large percentage that our water bills have gone up in the last few years okay so if it's underpriced we're trying to catch up for you know uh past policy all right so um water is a top priority with me so i would uh gladly find other ways to save money to make sure that i have safely liable uh water and i think uh lois made a long and eloquent list of the things that this board has accomplished and all of those things require money and i haven't seen this board misspend money i've seen them be real tight with money and i don't think um they're being uh frivolous with any of the money that's being um budgeted um the most one of the most important things about uh being on this board is for me is to being transparent so here we are we're talking about this a lot of people have chimed in it's a difficult situation to use this zoom technology but people are interested in doing this and we're talking about it upfront and being honest with each other and uh it's been pretty civil so i appreciate that so uh in that regard i'm willing to um second lois's motion okay we have a second and i'm just wondering do we even need this vote what's the purpose of it we already have if it's to keep the rate increase we already have the rate increase plan chair swan i think the purpose is that staff we're going the board seems to be going back and forth i don't want to you know i guess for lack of a better term on the fence whether they're going to to stop the rate increase or whether to let let the rate increase play out and staff needs to know so we can adjust the budget or work these numbers into the budget um i don't want to go back and forth every board meeting or every um finance meeting up to november and be on the fence on the rate increase and i think stephanie i mean if you want to chime in on that we'll agree with me that i would like to put this item to bed because we're spending a considerable and and don't get me wrong it's a very very important issue we're spending a lot of time on and we're not making a decision um i'd like i'd like to put this to bed and move ahead it's difficult to put the budget there yeah okay thank you rick uh okay so we have a uh a second you would like to make a comment go ahead i think that rick has made a very good point i think that's a good reason to proceed also i'd like to ask dina point of order there's been a motion and there's been a second don't we aren't we required to fulfill that vote yes there should be a vote taken i think the point that was being made was was a broader one but you're absolutely right director ferris with a motion in a second the matter should be voted upon then let's call for the vote go ahead uh calling okay okay excuse me what is it we're voting in right yeah holly could you read back what the motion is thank you uh lois henry made a motion to keep the rate increase and get the budget done thank you okay president swan yes director henry yes director fulce no bigger pardon no no director moran yes director ferris no uh three yes's motion passes okay well thank you all very much for tuning in this uh the hour of this board meeting is now uh come to a close and uh we are adjourned


Hey guys, welcome to our channel. My name is Andrea with Food and Mentory Adventures in Food, and today I am here with an HEB haul. HEB is a grocery store here in Texas, and they just opened up a brand new one in my area. So they had a lot of opening week specials that I wanted to take advantage of. So let me show you what I picked up. I ended up spending about $128 and some change. So let's jump in with the watermelon back here. I love watermelon. Nobody else in my household eats it, so I've got some watermelon. One of their specials were the strawberries. They were on sale for 97 cents. I grabbed some basil and also some Thai basil for recipes. Grabbed some of this Italian soda. They had a lot of different flavors, including blood orange. Clementine sounded best to me. I think these were like 250 each for a four pack. Vitamin C drops just to have them, and these cookies were absolutely free as an opening week special. I saw this and it sounded really interesting to me. Blueberry muffined almond butter. So can't wait to try that out. Grabbed some of their queso. I've had it before. I don't remember how I felt about it, but I got classic and then I got Blanco. Couple of different salad kits. I got this chopped luau barbecue and you get, say, recoconut pieces, carrots, sunflower seeds, barbecue dressing, green onions, and dehydrated pineapples. And then I also got this sweet Thai. You get honey almonds, cashews, peanut vinaigrette, chow mein noodles, carrots, and green onions. Yummy, yummy. Sounds good to me as well. The pizzas were buy one, get one free. Howard likes the rising crust. So I got him supreme and I got me thin crust with sausage and pepperoni. Howard, for those of you that don't know, is from Jamaica and he loves these beef patties. He specifically likes golden crust. So I got him a spicy beef, mild beef, and they had jerk chicken, which I've never seen in the stores. He hadn't seen it either. They have chicken.  So I got him that to try.  Limited edition. They sound good. I'm going to pop those in my freezer. Wanted to try out their Texas sweet tea. This is a small refrigerated bottle. But I just wanted to see how it tasted before I bought a big bottle. This was on sale for $1.50 and I've always wanted to try it. So I grabbed it. This does not make a nine by 13 pan. This makes an eight by eight or nine inch pan of brownies. Love turkey pastrami have not tried theirs before. So I decided to give it a try. Another thing that I've never tried before are boneless ham hocks. So this is a pretty big package. I'm going to divvy this up and freeze it into freezer bags for beans, greens, you name it. I don't know what I'm going to do with it yet. I have never seen toasted sesame oil in a spray can. So grab that because we love Asian food. This will be nice to add just a quick flavor, quick sesame oil flavor to stir fries or whatever I'm making. Also grabbed some grilling oil spray as well. This is to spray your barbecue grill. Another specialty item that they had or a specialty item on sale that they had were these Italian sodas. They were 96 cents, originally three something. So I got goji berry and then I also got passion fruit strawberry. I got a couple of packages of Fuji apple fruit crisp for my toddler. And then the true lime and true lemon were also on sale if you bought two. If you bought two, they were $1.50 each. So I grabbed that, grabbed this, I think it's kruet kit from Good Seasons. So you get the little kruet to make your own salad dressing and you get a couple of packets of Italian salad dressing as well. So I really liked that brand. Grab my favorite pecan toffee, two bags of those. And then I grabbed some oatmeal cookie mix for a recipe. Their like beauty products were all on sale for 30% off. So I got this exfoliating sponge. It's round and it's dual texture. And then I got this large body exfoliator because I don't really like those like plush scrubbies that most people use. I don't care for those. So I think I like these and they have the little handle on the back too. I grabbed some broccoli florets. These large bags of broccoli florets were on sale buy one get one free. I grabbed a couple of individual bags of chips. I got nacho cheese and ranch and these are not the big bags. These are like the single serving bags. Grab these stuffed butterfly shrimp. I've never seen French onion dip stuffed shrimp. So it sounded good. Just wanted to give it a try. Got some unsalted bakery tortillas. And then I grabbed some limeade and lemonade. Howard loves both of them. These were on sale too. I think they were like $1.12 each just for opening week. So this is everything that I grabbed on my recent HEB haul. I hope you all enjoyed it. If you did, please make sure to give us a thumbs up. If you haven't subscribed to our channel, we'd love to have you. Thanks so much for watching and we'll see you all next time.
