Hemptown, USA is a vertically integrated company with growing operations in southern Oregon, just outside of Medford, central point area. We have about 600 acres, about 500 acres in Colorado and about 500 acres in Kentucky. But the big story behind Hemptown, USA is that in Oregon this year, we grew 600 acres of a CBG dominant feminized hemp. We managed to get connected with a very large supply of a new genetic that brings CBG to full maturity in the plant. And the harvest this year was incredibly successful. The plant is testing at about 14 percent CBG and 0.03 percent THC, which to some people is even more exciting than the 14 percent CBG of course with trace CBD as well. So that's what we've incorporated into our consumer products, is CBG and we've blended with CBD. We're actually finding that the combination of CBG and CBD, we're getting very good feedback from that and people are experiencing very, very positive results. Well the CBG is the molecule that is originally growing from the hemp plant and at a certain point maturity the CBG turns into CBD and THC. But our genetics have allowed us to take the CBG to full maturity. But the difference between the two is that CBG and CBD working together is greater than the sum of its parts. One plus one does not necessarily equal two. It's more like three when you're putting together CBD and CBG. So Hemptown USA just launched our online store where you'll find 18 consumer focused products and we're very excited about them. The Comcaps, we've been handing out all sorts of samples of the Comcaps here at MJ BizCon. They are very high in cannabinoid per capsule. We have 75 grams of cannabinoids per capsule and that's a blend of CBG and CBD. The gum here is also a blend of CBD and CBG, 20 grams of cannabinoids, milligrams of cannabinoids per piece. So we have that in the two pack. We have the gum in the six and the 12 pack tins as well. CBG, CBD, Tincture which we're very very excited about. We've got 1500 milligrams of cannabinoids with a CBD, CBG blend, a wintergreen, very fresh flavor profile. We have been seeing a lot of positive research studies around topical use for CBG because it's very antimicrobial. It's a very clean product and people have been using it for treatment of eczema and for psoriasis. You can learn more about CBG on the Hemptown website.

Hey friends and welcome to my channel. I'm Yoshida and this is Norris Cove. You guys I Apologize I have not done a budget video since December I believe um So much has been going on Let me just catch you up just a little bit and we're gonna jump right into the budget my brother had ALS He just recently passed and a couple days after he passed a good close Friend of mine from school friend passed away It's just been a whirlwind Okay, and I've just got back in town maybe a couple of days ago And I've been running to before he passed I was running to North Carolina Which is like five hours from me to check on him and spend those last couple of days with him So I didn't have a lot of time budgeting and all that really kind of wasn't on my mind But I have been you know kind of trying to stick to my budget and implement some things that I'd like to do in the coming year I had some budget things set up for you guys that I wanted to show you and we're gonna cover majority of those things here Today, but that is what's been going on then I was sick like for the second time in three months I've had like a sign you I this situation going on so now I'm on Anybody for I have one more day on my antibiotics and cough serve and the cough serve just puts me down like down sleep So that's why I'm not showing my face today because I look a wreck, but without further ado, let's get into this March budget now Another disclaimer you guys I have not this is my budget book that I started the year off with and As you can see this is February nothing. I just decorated it. That was it January did we do any budgeting? Let's see a Little but I didn't check it as you can see here. I never came back and verified that all this was what was what I Kind of didn't March and I had to kind of update my stickers and I saw where that was all and you guys This is what it came out to be. I thought March was really pretty But I wasn't doing my budget in here I was not checking it. I was over the stickers and I Just didn't do anything. So I did more of my budgeting in my personal planner and Because this is what I carry with me every day. I just wasn't going in that planner my Eric Hodran so this is where everything is This is her the meat potatoes all that great stuff and I just like being able to have my budget Or me at all times like I can keep up with My credit cards account. This is a insert this in my shop Here's another insert this in my shop and this is my weekly check-in all my this is my whole Budget and finance section here here are my daily totals for work My spending trackers this was really really helpful for me I'll get into that later Color-coding my budget so that's something new that I'm doing on my bills. I try to set the V Budget thing. It's not working for me. I'm actually I need to take that out I tried it is I that's why I developed my own budgeting things because I don't get a paycheck So I need things that work for me So um, that's why I have my own that the only thing that works for me is the spending tracker by a peanut player code But that's what that's what it is. So Let me find what we need to do to get started. I just put it in here Okay, so this works what works for me is this is an insert from peanuts playing a co And it just says monthly bills is very simple to the point date details amount Did you pay it or you didn't and I color code if I paid it and this was January This was February and I decided to add some extra things that I wanted to include which are my syncing funds I cash envelopes things of that sort. So let's get into Doing March and up here it says month so we're gonna Do that I'm gonna take a few extra pieces and see what else I need also how I've been budgeting and it is working is going to my monthly overview And this is as you can see I've kind of filled some things in let me zoom you in So here's where I put down what bills are due. I've been trying to like not Do too much if I want to do it with you guys. So everything isn't included. Let me try to slide this out And then I'll just put some slits in it So really these are kind of the two main things I need to do a monthly budget Is my monthly My monthly bills and then you guys if you follow me on Instagram, you know, I have this little pouch This is where a lot of my color coding things go my markers page flags Things of that sort some washy tape I think I'm gonna use that one and then I have my little pouch here with stickers So I'm gonna see if I have my little budget stickers In here So this is pretty much what I use these are from the happy planner I only have these out for like case any for travel or something like that and I think I have a travel day in March I'm not sure. So I'm just gonna set that to the side I have my Elaine Michelle studios her Payment things here. I use those even though I don't really pay like a water bill Not a student loan get I'm gonna start paying on my daughter student loan probably next year But my car payment I mainly use it for that and for like health insurance I think one here one of these insurances car insurance I use that and then these are from the planner spot and I'll use those So the first thing we have on the 11th is the cardio is due So And I like to go ahead and just put the card notes that are due And I have another one on the 20th and then I have a personal loan do that day So I'm gonna put this little One here now I have some stickers similar to these But I like the way these are so I think this is something that I may add to my shop Maybe of course nothing like it, but just something similar. I have some and I may be bringing those back This day I have Jim to buddy Barclays and Citibank all do one One day, so I'm gonna use this do button. What I also was doing was using With My little dots I know I have a whole lot of whole lot of whole lot going on in here Let me find these dots and I need to bring these to the shop I made those for myself to like Know when a bill was due so I still may you know Use those I may use one for a flat Your budget doesn't have to be this complicated. I don't think this is complicated for me, but it just works for me and Actually, these were on my old Transparent paper so and I just again have to make it simple for me I'm not your I don't get paid like normal people. I get paid cash daily So I have to make it work for me and put it in a form that Works for me. I don't know how many self-employed people I have that follow me but If you're self-employed or you receive tips things like that. I am here to help is as much as possible I don't think that one's thick So I have to do what works for me So this is what we have and then I know I have car insurance do this day So I'm going to put another diet down and then I'll put These dots just kind of bring my eye I know that if I see this black dot, then I have something do as you can see I have I decided to do a little color coding. So I highlight appointments in a pink Mal liner to remind me that that's an appointment I Decided to go ahead and get the cloth and paper Subscription so that's something new to my budget and I need to add that also I decided to finally I've been using Y'all excuse my broke nail, but I knew I had to get this video out for you guys I decided to pay do Canva. So I'm thinking Canva is going to come out I did like two weeks ago. That's up. I'm not sure Tomorrow is the seventh. I'm not sure. I'm just going to put a do sticker here And this will be like for a reminder for me to um if I did about two weeks ago I'm gonna put it on the 10th. I'm just gonna put Canva That way I know it's coming out But I already have a buffer in my account and um, I've been enjoying that buffer there It's been there for about a month and a half and I'm loving it because now things are coming through like today Schedulacy came out, but I already knew that was coming out. So that was there, but my buffer is still there So let's see. We have car insurance, XM radio, GoDaddy And capital one gem We have Canva, that's what's new Um, all these things have been paid Amazon Schedulacy Wayfair and Lane Bryant So I'm going to take Going through my planner And I'm hoping this is it makes sense to me But I'm just hoping that it's not too frustrating for you guys. Okay. I'm just gonna take this out from last month We're gonna pop these back in No, let's leave these And because my planner is so crowded, I'm really thinking about um Taking out January and February But I like to follow up and see like what you know came out when Because what I'll do like if something comes out on the day I'm kind of not expecting it. I'll go ahead and write it in or if I paid something ahead of time I'll just go ahead and write it in. This is the way, um, February came out I didn't do a whole lot of deco. Um, this one, I know I was getting Etsy paydays I didn't include my Etsy paydays in March because um, I'm kind of Re-vamping something. So I didn't know I'm not going to get a paycheck. So I'm good with that So I just didn't want to junk it up for no reason. So this is what March is looking like Um, let me put this amount in here Should be 218 Some change Okay, so tell the side and so now I come over to My new expense, which will be March And I always like to say that these are my fixed Expenses So I always kind of start off with my car notes So 311 car note Number one and that's 181 60 we have state farm 218 Wayfair During the second that's already paid And I should have just won and paid it off the last time. Um See here I have the match that I'm not for sure about So I'm going to what I owe them. Let me go to the actual Go ahead and put lane brand since I'm already at that insert And I'll show you what I mean by the lane Bryant insert So here's the lane brand insert. Um on my budget tracker. This insert is from peanuts planner co um And as you can see I put I did the minimum payment of 35 dollars on two two And actually I pay I need to do this again because I did A payment it was like two 26 And I think I did another minimum payment For some reason. I don't think I did and then I'll do the math Later on that So I'm gonna put 35 here Because that's what I paid and Wayfair I think I did 50 I might have 40. I think I did 40. So I'm gonna put 40 I don't owe victoria secrets anymore. I paid them off. Um schedule. Let's see. He just came out It comes out. Oh, it was today today is the six 20 dollars amazon On 34 that already came out capital to one I actually kind of put some money. I just throw cap on money on my capital one because um remember me telling you guys that the um The bank is across the street from my job.  Um The gem is nice right now, but I just put 20 to buddy, which I haven't been using because I've been using my um Mac pro to upload my videos and um I need to add it to that so I haven't been using to buddy um 318 I think I need to just sign in with it from there. Maybe that makes sense Barclays This barclays bill. I definitely need to give a hundred two um, it's just really irritating because I don't know when I set it up. I set up something where like alert me if I go Too close to my limit or whatever and every time I use the egg on card It alerts me and it makes me just nervous. Maybe feel like I'm over the account, you know over my limit, which I know I'm not um Me on my loan. I really want to pay off. You know, um, maybe federal credit me alone. I only owe 400 dollars left um That's doing my 20th, but I really want to just kind of cut that in half I have a t-mobile dude on 12 Y'all excuse my dog um, I've kind of made some arrangements with, um t-mobile And I'm trying to figure out how to get this bill down because my bill is almost I guess like the 20th My bill is almost 300 dollars a month. So I was watching ema shell. I think on instagram and um She was talking about taking, you know, certain things off and I did and I want to um I took some things off and I'm gonna see how this bill is gonna go after I pay this off and then I'm gonna pay off some things that We had so I have xm radio at six dollars and six cents and city bank Now I have $50 for them, but I did a promotion where If you pay off the first thing I boarded with um, which was my laser printer Within six months at zero percent interest You know, you get that zero percent interest after that I don't have to pay for it and it ended up being like almost two 80 something And even though I've been giving them 150 50, I don't I guess the interest is eating it up I don't know, but um, I want to just pay one lump sum of 283 So I'm gonna leave that empty just to see what um I actually give them and that's due on the 17th So I'm gonna really try to pay that whole thing off and I may go in the store and pay that So I'm just gonna leave that blank for right now And then my other categories here I have oh Well, I have hubby My main goal you guys of budgeting is to see where my money was going. This is something I never shared Um, but some of you have kind of picked up on it My husband has been paying the bills all of the bills for probably the last 10 years I when my business took a dive and I had to start from scratch he took over We had to walk away from my house that I was paying way too much mortgage on $2,500 a month But I could afford it at the time that I got it And so we kind of downsized but not really because we kind of got The same house because we were in that upside down market We kind of got the same house in a different location for half the price So he pays all the bills I just pay what I have like a condo car insurance and things like that and um, so My main goal was to be able to at least give him half of what our mortgage is and um My husband's very good with money. He's much better than I am And we were in a house maybe three years and he decided to refinance something Oh, we about to get some upgrades. He was like, no, Yoshida I want this to be if something was to happen to me I wanted it to be enough where you should be able to afford it And so our mortgage went from like 1700 down to like 1100 and we just refinanced at a Lower rate and plus what we had already paid off. And so I want to at least be able to give him at least 700 half You know, and I understand that everybody wants their household different But I want to at least be able to contribute more. So I'm taking over groceries So he's no longer going to be contributing to groceries, but to work my way up. I have 200 I like to give him towards some bills and things and he's given me some bills to hear pay the water bill Which isn't that much or whatever, but I just forget and then again My daughter, she's not his but he treats her as his she's in college So a lot of my money goes to her and he even helps me send money to her in college So, you know, I can't beggars can be choices. So I just definitely want to be able to help More and in my savings. I want to have at least 200 And to me, these things are feasible along with my You know, daily budget And my sinking funds I need I know I got a calculator here. So man um My sinking funds are 300 and we'll go with those later and my cash envelopes I'm like They say 300 but um, I think my sinking funds Need to be like two let me get two I'll go back and do that way but the cash envelopes I'm definitely about $300 um This gem fee is just sitting here empty as you can see I'm still add that because it's coming. I just don't know when but it's that buffers in my account Waiting for it. So this is what I had Last month. I'm just going to subtract. Um, I'm actually not I was going to subtract a hundred From it, but I'm going to leave it the same for one. I don't have my calculator Everything should be the same. So it's $2,775 and 15 cent I'll we do the math once I get off but this is my budget for the month and I take this with me. This is what Um keeps me accountable I don't know how to explain it. Um It's just what I need to keep me accountable so this was I like to keep this as reference. This was my January and February budget So now I go into My little pouch here Gray means bills. Okay That means that's what came out So already Schedulosity has come out So I marked that through amazon has come out Um, I've already paid I just a lane Bryant. Yeah, I've already paid lane Bryant in the way fair And it's fun for me to do this because I like to see um Like what bill I have left like I just marked off Two buddy, I think The last one that comes out normally which is um state form or two, but those are the last two And like once those are gone. I'm like I've paid everything so I just like to see it all grayed out here. I didn't give hubby 200 We had to go out of town for my brother's funeral. Um, I did manage to put a little bit towards saving, but it wasn't 250 And um sinking funds. I didn't do anything towards sinking funds and that was another thing you guys. Um My cash envelopes I've been having cash left over, but I've been going back and forth out of town So gas has been eating it up. So I've been wanting to film my cash envelopes junior with you guys Um, I'm not for sure if I'll be able to do one tomorrow, which is saturday because um, this has been a slow week for me I've been off pretty much all week. Today was my first day working so only work two days this week So all that I'll probably just go towards my booth right, but um, yeah, that's it Let's see anything else I paid To the gym did the gym come out? No, the gym hasn't come out yet So that's that so this is my march budget. I hope it was easy to follow I'm sure as I get more used to um Budgeting this type of way that you all can understand. I've been doing it Since january budgeting this way really to be honest with you, but um, I hope I'll get a little more At ease with showing you guys how I budget this way and I'll have more, you know things to show you Um, also while we're talking about it, let me show you my sinking funds how I've kind of Done those So you all know what my sinking funds are I mean, I love budgeting this way you guys because um It's just plain, you know for me to see um, here's my debt snowball Which I'm gonna probably go to avalanche Eventually, but um, I did pay off some things um, let's see So here are my cash envelopes and my sinking funds. So grocery. Um, I'm looking to do about 50 a week um Maybe a little more I might need to raise that by gas which is about 40 dollars a week I've been doing that before my cash envelopes. I've been paying cash for my gas Which has been really working for me Um miscellaneous is about 100 products. Um for work is about 75 Um, my sinking funds are my car maintenance Which is 25 y'all skews, but I'm still a little congested. Um dental Medical is 20 savings about 20 to 50 dollars a week Vegas is 50 to 75 That's spending money and planning a better mean It's 50 to 75. I want to be able to pay for planning better me by april And then christmas is 25 dollars a week. I kind of need to move this up here to My budget Yeah, these sets of these as you can see, I need to just take them out. They're just taking on space Um, they're not working for me. Um, maybe at a later date. I kept them in there so I could just kind of Um I need that one Why That's my color key But they're not working and I maybe need to just sit down and look at them and Figure them out, but they're just not really working for me My the way that I budget works best for me this plane here that works for me. So yeah Oh, yeah, and then here's my sinking funds and um cash envelopes with the insert from my shop. So Let me put that there But thank you guys so much for watching. Um, I do have some goals That I want to complete and I had this leftover from a kit. So I'll be Including this somewhere and um, we'll talk more about budgeting. I'm still gonna be doing budgeting. That's still my focus It's just not in a decorative form anymore. Um, I've taken all of my stickers out as far as Budget stickers. I no longer have budget stickers But I have the budget inserts in my shop and I know some people really liked that. I had some repeat customers, but It was becoming a headache Not necessarily a headache. Let me say that it wasn't necessarily a headache. Um I'm a slight perfectionist and um Sometimes those cut lines are just not there. They're just not right And it's hard for me to tell one may be right. I'm like, okay good. This is a go And so I may get it and say, oh my thing was off and to rehab to Resend that it costs. So this is something inserts you can download Okay, and it's just simpler for me and I like it that way Um, I don't have any issues with people who have downloaded my inserts so far. I have not had any issues So, um, that works better for me as far as budgeting. Um, I'll do the stickers I will have some deco sheets because I'm doing more minimal planning now. Um, I'll have more minimal planning items Let me show you some things that I've created We have these these are great for budgeting because you can just stick them on a date And check off if there's a bill that's due. This is the smaller one I do have these in my shop And I had one more thing And I'm doing these now, but I'm trying to change the color and um, so there are other options that you can Find in my shop for your budgeting needs. Um, I just again would not be doing the um By the stickers and they weren't selling um That well it'd be some but not like plenty So it just it was it was costing me more paper and I threw away more paper Than anything so Sorry, this has been so long, but I just kind of wanted to update you guys On what's been going on So that is March bucket Thank you all again so much for watching and stopping by if you're new to my channel Please hit that subscribe button also hit that notification bell come back for more budgeting More minimal planning weekly check-ins all that great stuff. I'd love to have you. I'll talk to you soon. Bye


Welcome to SSUnitech, Sushil this side and this is continuation of Power BI tutorial. So today we will see about the duplicate and reference queries. So what is duplicate and reference queries? So in the last video we have seen about the star schema. So we just want to make more precise our data model for our project. So we will implement the star schema in our project. So for that duplicate and reference queries are very important. So go to Power BI desktop and we will see in the practical. So this is the Power BI desktop. So as we can see we are having this country sales fact table. So we just want to create a duplicate first after that we will see the reference. So for that we can right click on that query and here we can see we are having an option with the duplicate and we are having an option with the reference. So just click on duplicate and we will see. So if we have created the duplicate then it is creating a copy of the country sales and all the applied steps are available over here. So as we can see in our main query we are having these steps and in the country sales 2 which is our duplicate query are having the same steps and we can see inside the applied steps. Now let me try to create a reference and we will see what are the difference between duplicate and reference. So here we can create a reference. So in the reference as we can see it is referring our main table and here we don't see any applied steps. So in the applied step we are having only this source. So this source is referring our main query. So this is the main query if we create the duplicate then all the applied steps will also go to the duplicate query and if we will create any reference then applied steps will be gone and this query will refer to our main query. So this is the difference between duplicate and reference query. So I am going to use the reference so let me right click on this and delete this duplicate query and click on delete. As we seen in the star schema first we can see we are having this address and this address table is our dim address and it is containing the address ID address 1 city state something like this. So go to our power by desktop and here let me rename this with address. So this is our dimension table. So let me call this dim that is dimension and this is address. Now here we just want only those columns which is related to address. So just remove other columns. So how we can do this choose columns and in the choose columns we want only address related columns. So in address related columns we can see address ID address ID 1 city postal code and our country name. So these are columns to address related so we can click on OK. So now we are having only these columns. Second we just want to remove the duplicate values because it will have the duplicate in the query. So how we can remove the duplicate as I told you in the starting videos here we can go to on home ribbon after that go to on this remove rows and here we are having an option to remove duplicate. So we can remove duplicate rows. Now we are having the distinct values in the dim address table and here we can see it is having address ID address line 1 city postal code and country. So that looks good. So in the next video we will see how we can create the dim customer and dim item and dim date. So thank you so much for watching this video.

Rotating electrical machinery is a part of much military equipment. Whether it is a simple blower or a complicated electronic device in a missile, they all depend on the proper functioning of rotating electrical equipment. New types of motors and generators are commonly in use, alternating current or AC, and direct current or DC motors and generators. This film will show the principles governing the operation of DC motors and generators. Basic to the understanding of DC motors and generators is the simple generation of an electromotive force, an EMF. Mechanical energy, the moving of a wire or conductor across a magnetic field by hand in this instance, produces electrical energy. The magnetic field is composed of lines of force. As the conductor cuts these lines, an electromotive force or EMF is generated in the conductor. Moving the conductor down through the field makes the needle of a voltmeter deflect one way, which means the EMF has one direction. Moving the conductor up through the field produces the opposite deflection of the needle. The EMF has now changed direction. Moving the conductor back and forth with the field does not make the needle of a voltmeter deflect. There is no EMF because the conductor is not cutting the field. To illustrate the direction of current flow, the conventional symbols will be used. Current flowing in a conductor away from us is represented by a cross, toward us by a dot. However, moving a conductor in and out of the field in this straight reciprocal fashion is awkward and impractical. A simple generator of EMF can also be made by rotating a single turn coil within a stationary magnetic field of two magnets with opposite polarity. The loop now, in effect, becomes two conductors because both the top and bottom sections cut magnetic lines during rotation. Since they cut lines of force of opposite directions as they rotate, EMFs of opposite polarity will be generated in the conductors. In order to have current flow in this circuit, polarities of the two conductors must be opposite. The amount of EMF generated at any instant is determined by three factors. The strength of the magnetic field, that is the number of lines of force, the length of the conductor cutting the lines of force, and the velocity with which the conductor is turning. We can determine the amount of instantaneous EMF by a simple formula. The instantaneous EMF E equals B, the strength of the field, times L, the length of the conductor cutting lines of force, times V, the velocity of the conductor. An increase in the number of lines of force or the strength of the field increases the instantaneous EMF in the conductor. Increase in the length of the conductor cutting lines also increases the EMF. And finally, the greater the velocity of the conductor, the greater the EMF. This formula assumes conductor motion in a straight line. That is to say, cutting the same number of lines for each increment of its motion. But the conductor in an actual machine is not moving in a straight line but rotating. When the conductor moves in a rotary path, the number of lines cut varies depending on the position of the conductor. At the top of the field, for instance, no lines are being cut and no EMF is generated. As the conductor keeps turning, the number of lines cut increases so that at a quarter turn or 90 degrees, the maximum number is being cut and maximum EMF is generated. Again, at 180 degrees, no lines are cut, no EMF. We reach a maximum again at 270 degrees. And finally, again, at 360 degrees, no lines are cut. The conductor has rotated 360 mechanical degrees, which correspond in this instance to 360 electrical degrees. Therefore, when the conductor moves in a rotary path, another factor is added to the original formula for the determination of instantaneous EMF. The formula that now applies is instantaneous EMF equals field strength times the length of the conductor times velocity multiplied by sine theta. Theta is the angle formed by the flex line and the motion of the conductor. The number of lines cut and the amount of EMF generated is proportional to the sine of the angle formed by the magnetic lines with the conductor motion. A graph of EMF versus conductor position during one revolution will be a sine wave representing alternating current or AC. All rotary generators produce AC internally. What you have seen so far is really the theory and operation of a basic AC generator. But our purpose was to explain the principles of operation of a DC generator. To get direct current, we will attach each end of the conductor to a segment of copper forming a commutator. Now our machine is a DC generator. The commutator rotates with the loop. Stationary contacts, carbon brushes, ride on the commutator segments. They provide a means of connecting a meter or any other load to the generator. The loop of a conductor wound on a rotor and the commutator are referred to as the armature. As the loop revolves and the EMF in the conductor reverses polarity, the connections to the load are also reversed and the current flow will maintain the same direction externally. Represented graphically, the output amplitude still varies. The DC is in the form of pulses. It is a pulsating direct current, or PDC. The pulsation from zero to maximum, twice for each revolution of the loop, is called ripple. This ripple can be reduced by adding more loops and more commutator segments to the existing armature. Two loops at right angles connected to four commutator segments provide two outputs instead of one. These outputs are 90 degrees displaced or apart, which combine to smooth the DC output. However, even with two loops and four commutator segments, the rectified curve is still somewhat irregular. By adding magnets, we increase the number of fields cut by the armature. As we increase the number of loops and commutator segments, the variation between maximum and minimum value decreases. This in effect tends to flatten the DC output. Practical DC generator armatures have a great many loops wound on a rotor. The field is composed of many electromagnets. Together these factors tend to create an almost pure DC output. An important problem in the design of generators is the prevention of sparking between the commutator and the brush assembly. The prevention of sparking depends on the position of the brushes. This line through points of zero generated EMF is called the neutral plane. Placing the brushes in this neutral plane reduces the tendency for sparking between brushes and commutator because during the time a brush is touching both commutator segments, there is no difference in potential between these segments. Theoretically, no sparking should occur at the commutator brushes when they are placed in this position, but the current flowing in the armature loops or coils sets up a magnetic field of its own. This magnetic field interacts with the main magnetic field and distorts it. The distortion causes a shift in the neutral plane and sparking at the brushes. The effect is called armature reaction. Sparking may cause severe interference in nearby electronic equipment. There are two ways of maintaining the neutral plane in its correct position, and thus avoiding sparking. It may be done by the adjustment of the brush position. The brushes are adjusted to lie in the adjusted neutral plane. The other way of maintaining the neutral plane is by adding interpoles to the generator field. These interpoles are small magnets placed between the poles of the main field magnets. The interpoles fields oppose the fields created by armature reaction. The neutral plane is moved back toward the correct position. In addition, to further counteract armature reaction, windings called compensating windings are sometimes placed in the main pole faces. The current in these windings is armature current flowing in opposite direction to the current in the armature conductors. Electric fields in DC generators may be produced by electromagnets or permanent magnets. Permanent magnets are used in relatively small devices like a field telephone ringing generator. In larger generators, the field is created by electromagnets. The field winding used in this DC generator can be represented by a symbol. The symbol is that of an iron core inductor. A magnet to excite the field windings can be supplied from an external source. In that case, the generator is classified as separately excited. A small part of the generator's own output can also do the exciting. In that case, it will be a self-excited generator. Self-excited generators must be initially magnetized. The residual magnetism in the core of a field winding provides enough magnetism to begin generator action. The field coil winding may be connected in several ways. This is a series wound generator, which means the field coil is in series with the armature. Because of this series arrangement, it has poor voltage regulation. The reason for this can be demonstrated in the following manner. Additional load will cause more current to flow in the field coil. Increase in field strength increases voltage. Increase in voltage causes more current to flow. This continuing action stops only when the core is saturated. When the load is increased, the voltage will increase. When the load decreases, voltage will decrease. Voltage regulation in the series wound generator, therefore, is very poor. When instead of in series, the field winding is connected in parallel with the armature and the load, we have a shunt wound generator. Now the field current is independent of the load current. Therefore, an increase in armature current will not cause an increase in the voltage output. Voltage regulation here is greatly improved. In shunt wound generators, therefore, changing load causes relatively small change in voltage output. By changing the armature winding, a compound wound generator results, which combines the best features of both types. The series and the shunt wound generator. When windings are arranged so that magnetic fields oppose each other, it becomes in effect a series generator. This is used only where constant current is the prime requirement, such as in arc welding. By changing the magnetic polarity of one of the fields, the field windings aid one another. As a result, this compound wound generator has good voltage and fair current regulation. A graphic representation of generator output characteristics with terminal voltage plotted vertically and armature current horizontally would look something like this. As we have seen, in the output of the series wound generator, voltage regulation is very poor. In parallel or shunt wound generators, the voltage regulation is fairly good, but current regulation is poor. Compound wound generators offer a flat compounded output that is normally most desirable. It combines the good features of both the shunt and series wound generators and provides stable voltage output under changing loads. As we have seen in our analysis of the DC generator, its primary function is the conversion of mechanical energy to electrical energy. If we now reverse the procedure and connect an electrical power source to the generator, we have a DC motor instead of a DC generator. Motor action can be illustrated by attaching a power source to a conductor which is inside a magnetic field. The electric current creates polarity in the conductor. The south pole of the magnet attracts the north pole of the conductor and repels the south pole. The north pole of a magnet attracts the south pole of the conductor and repels the north pole. This creates movement depending on the direction of a steady magnetic field. The movement also depends on the direction of the current flow through the wire. By changing the polarity of the battery, the conductor now moves in the opposite direction. To see what really happens, let's go to a drawing again. Here a conductor is suspended in a magnetic field. The current flow from a power source creates its own magnetic field in and around the conductor. This field around the conductor reacts with a main magnetic field to cause motion of the conductor either out of the field or into it. The arrow point indicates the direction of the current flow in the conductor. In this case, the flow is toward us. The field of the conductor has the same direction as the main field above the conductor and the opposite direction of the field below the conductor. These two magnetic forces added together distort the lines of the main field upward. The field above the conductor is thus made stronger and the field below the conductor is made weaker. So the conductor moves down. Conversely, when current flows in the opposite direction, that is to say away from us, the field of the conductor opposes the main field above the conductor. This aids the main field below the conductor, distorting the lines down. The field below the conductor is thus made stronger while the field above the conductor is made relatively weaker. This forces the conductor to move up. With this basic principle of motor action understood, we can now examine the DC motor. The basic DC motor, like the DC generator, consists of a pair of magnetic poles, an armature made up of a single turn loop, a commutator, and a brush assembly. As we have seen, a conductor in a magnetic field will move when a voltage is applied to it. With a voltage applied and the magnetic field and current flow as shown, the right conductor will be pushed down while the left one is pushed up. Since the forces on each conductor are now in exact balance, there will be no more motion. Adding another loop and two commutator segments ensures that at no time will balancing forces cancel each other out. With this setup, there will be motion at all times. As one commutator segment has moved away from the brushes, another now takes its place and the movement continues. The greater the number of loops in the armature, the smoother its motion. For this reason, rotors in practical DC motors have many loops. Since current in the rotor loops must reverse each half cycle, two commutator segments per loop are required. Here in the motor, as in the DC generator, there is a neutral plane. The interaction of the conductor fields on the main field causes this neutral plane to shift and sparking to occur when the load is added. Sparking in DC motors also produces burned commutators and interference in nearby electronic equipment. This sparking can be prevented in one of two ways. One is by the adjustment of the brush position. The brushes are moved until they lie in the adjusted neutral plane. In the motor, as in the generator, small interpoles between the poles of the main magnets are also used to eliminate the shift of the neutral plane. These interpoles fields tend to oppose the fields created by armature reaction. The neutral plane is moved back toward its correct position. Also aiding are compensating windings which carry armature current in the opposite direction to the current in the armature conductors. The neutral plane is thus maintained in its proper position. DC motors operate most efficiently when sparking is eliminated. We saw earlier that when a conductor is moved by mechanical energy in a magnetic field, an EMF is generated. This is generator action. In the DC motor, when rotation is desired, it is necessary to apply an EMF to the conductor. However, when used as a motor, an opposing EMF is also generated in the conductor. This is called the counter-electromotive force, or CEMF. By Lenzi's law, the generated CEMF must oppose the applied EMF. The amount of CEMF depends on the speed of rotation. This is of practical importance in large motors. When starting large motors, the problem exists of limiting current through the rotor windings until a CEMF can be built up. If the full current is applied before the CEMF develops, it may burn out the rotor windings. Starting boxes are used with DC motors in order to avoid this application of current before the CEMF is built up. Here is a basic shunt motor with its starting box. In the starting position, the circuit to the rotor windings is closed through a series of large resistance coils. As the lever of the switch is moved, rotor speed and CEMF build up gradually, and the resistance coils are subsequently cut out until running speed has been reached. The lever is held in the fully open position by an electromagnet. If for any reason the power should fail or the field coil open, the electromagnet becomes de-energized and the lever is returned to the starting position by spring action. Just as in DC generators, DC motors seldom use permanent magnets for the field. Instead, electromagnets are used. Like with a DC generator, field windings are constructed in several ways. Each type of winding has special characteristics, special values and specific uses. The series wound motor has good starting torque or turning force. Torque depends on armature current and on field strength. Since field strength is proportional to current, the high starting current before CEMF is developed affects torque as the square of the current. The motor begins to turn, attempting to develop enough CEMF to completely oppose the applied EMF. The load prevents this, acting to control the speed of the motor. But if the load is suddenly removed, like in the case of a broken belt, the motor will build up speed trying to develop more CEMF until it destroys itself. The shunt wound motor has less starting torque but it is less dependent on load for speed control. In the shunt wound motor, the field coils are connected in parallel directly across the DC input terminals. The starting torque is not as great as in the series motor since field strength is not affected by armature current. The speed of a shunt motor is fairly constant under conditions of changing load. As more load is applied, the speed of the armature decreases. This decreases the CEMF and increases the current input. The increase in current input boosts the coupling between the field and armature and increases the torque, causing the motor to resume approximate running speed. A sudden reduction in load will not damage the motor because the field current is independent of rotor current in the shunt wound motor. The desirable characteristics of both the series and shunt wound motors can be achieved in the compound wound motor. In order to obtain good starting torque, the series field is used. When running speed has been attained, a centrifugal switch cuts out the series field and cuts in the shunt field. It is now a shunt motor and the speed regulation is good. Compounding provides good starting torque and good speed regulation. This allows for efficient operation and minimizes the possibility of damage to the motor. Now for a quick summary. The operation of all rotating electrical machinery is based on one simple principle, the generation of an EMF. The principle is used in the construction of a simple AC generator. The generator output E, or instantaneous EMF, equals B, strength of field, times L, length of the conductor, times V, velocity of the conductor. But because the movement of the conductor in the field is actually circular, we must also multiply with a sign of the angle formed by the lines of force and motion of the conductor in order to arrive at the EMF. All generators are basically alternating current generators and produce AC internally. The basic AC generator becomes a DC generator when a commutator is attached to the conductor. Each commutator segment rotates with its respective conductor, producing a direct current. This current, which is a pulsating current, is made smoother by the addition of more magnets and more loops. Sparking in a generator is sometimes caused by a shift in the neutral plane. This can be corrected by adjusting the brush position or by the use of interpoles and compensating windings. Current for field windings may be supplied from an outside source, in which case the generator will be separately excited or the current may be a part of the generator's own output, in which event it is called self-excited. Generator field windings are constructed in three ways. Series wound, where the field windings and the armature are in series. Shunt wound, in which the field winding is in parallel with the armature and the load. And compound wound, in which the best features of both the shunt and series wound generators are combined. Voltage regulation in the series wound generator is poor. In the shunt wound generator, voltage regulation is fairly good, but current regulation is poor. Compound wound generators provide stable voltage under changing loads. This output is normally most desirable. Motor action is the opposite of generator procedure. In a DC motor, voltage is applied to two or more loops in a magnetic field. This causes polarity in the loops. The interaction of this polarity with the polarity of the field makes the loops rotate. This is the basic DC motor. When the conductor of the motor is rotated by an applied EMF, it also generates a counter-electromotive force. According to Lenz's law, this generated CEMF must oppose the applied EMF. As in generators, field windings in DC motors are of three types. The series wound motor has good starting torque, but since its only governing factor is the load, the speed regulation is poor. If the load is disengaged suddenly, the motor will race to destruction. In shunt wound motors, with the field coils connected in parallel across the DC input terminals, the starting torque is not too good. But since the field current is independent of the rotor current, the speed regulation is quite good. The compound wound motor combines the best features of both types. It uses a series section for good starting torque. Then it switches to a shunt arrangement for good speed regulation. DC electrical motors and generators are at the heart of much military equipment. The proper understanding of them is therefore important.


and welcome once again to another edition of the Red Brown and Williams real estate show. I'm Shannon Deskins along with Jennifer Brown Day and Jennifer I guess with everything blooming and color starting to come back into things we were talking off camera just a minute ago about it being a good time for people to list their homes. Absolutely and it's a popular time for people to list their homes. Everybody wants to put their homes on when spring is coming you can get the good pictures for the MLS websites and the ads so it's the perfect time to go ahead and start doing that. Well and that's that time before the yard start getting grown and everything's pretty I guess if I had to think in my mind what the good time for curb appeal would be it would have to be spring. Yes yes it is well you've got all the flowers you've got you know this area is so pretty spring and fall and you you always have a pretty summer because everything still bloomed but those two times are just great for curb appeal and pictures and that kind of stuff for any of the listings. Alright if someone is wanting to list their home just real quick you guys have four locations throughout East Kentucky. We do we have a location here in Pike Field and then of course we have one in Pressensburg our main office which is out of Paintsfield and then we have an office in Louisa. Okay now those four locations are going to be good if you want to list or if you're interested in buying something they already have listed and we're going to show you five of those today. Alright the first one all these are going to be your listings today so let's start on the north side of Pike County. Okay let's do it the first one we've got is off Redbird Lane in Pike Field and for people who aren't familiar with where that is that's on the Pike Floyd County line towards Hurricane. So that's basically a lot of people know that as the Boldman Bridge so right at the Pike Floyd County line and this one is not far once you cross the bridge it's right there. It is it's as you cross the bridge you're looking almost right at it and this is one it was built in 1995 but since then has been completely renovated so it's essentially a new house on the inside if you want to be honest about it. It's got a new custom kitchen it's it's just one that you could walk in and move in. You know I love that you talking about the custom kitchen they've done some tile work and then on the outside you've got this big yard space I mean it's on an acre of property which you don't find very often. You don't especially an acre that's all flat and that's what this is so you have if you want an additional parking space which you have a nice large driveway that leads up to your two-car garage but if you want an additional parking if you want to do an additional garage if you want to fence in the yard and have play space if anything you'd want to do you've got the space to do it. And then on the inside three bedrooms two bathrooms you know almost 1500 square feet this is a nice size home. It is in that 1500 square feet the great thing about this house that is above grade living. You actually have a family room and utility room below grade because it's a split level house so it's not all the way a basement but it is below grade living space that's completely finished and that adds another 800 square feet onto this so you're talking total almost 2300 square feet of living space. Yeah this is one that I'll bet you pictures just aren't gonna do it justice. No it doesn't it's one that I really recommend people see if this is the price range in the area they want to be in. And that price is 269.5 so this is your listing let's throw your email address out there and we'll go between email and phone through the show. Okay the email is Jay Brown at rbnw.com. All right and when you do give Jennifer a call or an email 106198 is the number for that particular listing. Okay now staying in Pike County we'll move to the next one in the Coal Run community and this one's on Toley Lane. Toley Lane and we have actually talked about this one before but this is one that I love showing on here because it's such a fun house and it's one that I think the pictures just it make it they make it look so amazing and it truly is. Well the big thing that catches me is the yard space and then you look at when you get when you get this house you're gonna get three and a half acres and a big part of that is flat and I know we've mentioned before you don't find that very often right here outside of Pikeville. Right you do have a lot of usable yard space with this house and if anything if you don't need the extra yard it just gives you that feeling of privacy and I always kind of talk about this one as being the mountain retreat because it's a log house and you can see in the picture kind of picturesque sitting back in there and that land around you it just gives you that feeling of having that privacy you know surrounding you and one thing that we haven't mentioned is this is right off of US 23 in Coal Run so and you can't tell that by looking at these pictures and that's one of the great things about this house is you've got the convenience right there US 23 to Pikeville to Coal Run but yet you feel like you are miles outside the city. Exactly and you are right off 23 but you are just at the point where you can't see 23 so it's the perfect distance for convenience like you said and then this one just has tons of square footage a lot of space to use you've got again this one has above and below grade space so you've got almost 3800 square feet above grade which includes four bedrooms and then below grade you have another almost 1250 square feet that's all finished with a family room and office a kitchen and you've got a full bath down there so you have you're pushing 5000 square feet really are finished living space yes exactly what four bedrooms and then you've got three full baths and two half baths correct so tons of bathroom space that just speaks large family to me yes no arguing over these bathrooms in this house absolutely and again it just has a lot of rooms to do with whatever you've got a loft that you could make an office a workout room a playroom you know you just have a lot of a lot of space to do what you'd want to do so if you do go see this house and Jennifer takes you make sure you bring a notepad because they're gonna take a lot of notes on what you want to do with this space absolutely I hope so okay now this one 549 9 is what it's listed for so if that's the market that you're in Jennifer definitely this is one they need to see absolutely I highly recommend setting up a showing if this is this is what you're looking for okay give us that number to the pipe for law okay<PHONE_NUMBER> all right 105 994 is that listing for the home on Tolly Lane all right now let's move out on the other side of Pikeville to 5 for now this one's on Chloe Road but still in the city limits yes this one is right kind of on the edge of going out of the city limits but you're still in so you've got all the city amenities but you do have a sense of privacy this one has some land with it you've got a little less than an acre but you feel like you're sitting up there kind of by yourself so this is a great property for somebody who likes the city living without having to live in the city and just like the house that we just talked about this one's you've got a big stone fireplace and I love that because it's a two-story living room which gives you that feeling of like that big loft lodge type feel as well exactly and this one has the wood detailing and trim you've got the wood beams in the living room like you said the stone fireplace and then this one the great thing that people love about this house directly over the garage is a huge open recreation space you can see in the picture that it's got a pool table in it and this is you see pool tables in this area and sometimes they don't exactly fit the rooms are put in you know you can kind of damage the walls and this is one where the pool table actually fits like you have plenty of room for that kind of stuff yeah but in the main area you know you've got three bedrooms two and a half bathrooms over 2,500 square feet so another nice size home absolutely it's a really nice size house and like I said you do have some yard space it comes with an above ground pool a private deck you have a private driveway so you really have a lot with this house and this one was just reduced so we want to make sure and highlight that price all right and it was reduced to $194.9 so you're getting all that under $200,000 so not a bad price not at all let's throw your email address out there again okay the emails jbrown at rbnw.com okay 106087 for that home that we just talked about on 5-4 which is in Pikeville now going south on us 23 after you get out of the Pikeville city limits the next listings on collie heels that's correct collie heels this one's at rachel court which is when you go up to the top of collie heels you kind of stay straight so it's it's you don't really turn right or left when you get out there you stay straight this house will come up on your left this is a ranch house which most of them up there are but this is one of the more open layouts that I've seen up there it's a very open concept your living room dining room kitchen are all very open so if you're a fan of entertaining this is a great house entertaining you know bringing the large families over for I mean we just had Easter dinner not too long ago I'm sure this would have been a great house for that so looking forward to Thanksgiving's and Christmas's this is a home that's perfect for those family gatherings absolutely and it's been that kitchen that we were just talking about has been updated they've done some new countertops in there and new light fixtures and then they did a really pretty a little bit more contemporary tile in the kitchen and in the bathrooms fairly recently and then on the outside I see that it's got a fenced in yard and that's popular for anyone with families or pets that you you don't have to worry about if you've got that pet that likes to get out and run about okay where are we gonna fence in the yard where can we put the dog run this is already there absolutely and the way that this lot is situated you actually have a pretty private lot I mean you're up there in a subdivision but you really don't have anybody on one side of you so you really have a very semi-private lot location and it's so convenient to Piefield because you're only minutes outside of the Pikeville City limits so if you're you know you like to travel anywhere south you know that's convenient to do that also but yet you're right outside of Python yes exactly it's a great location all right so give you a call on this one absolutely yeah they can call the Pockville office that number<PHONE_NUMBER> the price on this one one hundred eighty two thousand dollars so not bad for everything you're getting right there in Collie Hills absolutely okay now we're moving along quickly today their last listing today is out kind of in the county a little bit but a lot of people like that seclusion and this one's on Indian Creek this one's on the Indian Creek and this is one I actually love talking about this house we get a lot of calls on this house because of the location and because of the price so it's in one of those price ranges that tends to get a lot of attention but this is an older house the thing with this one is it's not an older house that you're gonna have to come in and spend thousands and thousands of dollars unless you just want to to personalize it right this is one that's got the older house charm but it's really been kept up and updated and it's ready for somebody to move in I mean looking at the pictures you can tell that with the trim with the cabinets in the kitchen it looks like a modern paint scheme so somebody has really taken the time to update it and then keep it that way absolutely absolutely and it's got about 1300 square feet it's got some newer flooring new light fixtures new heat pump in a new full bathroom this one is also one that's convenient to Pikeville

Creators of Ready or Not, Scream 5 and Scream 6, Radio Silences back in theaters this week with a brand new creature feature, Abigail and I'll tell you right now this movie is just a bloody gore fest and one awesome time at the movies. If you are looking for an awesome creature feature that really much flips the script on certain things and doesn't just play into the serious horror tone, really much plays into the comedy of it all, kind of very much in the same vein of what Ready or Not was able to do.  I had a couple nitpicks here and there but I'm very excited to talk about this brand new horror film today. I definitely want to hear your guys thoughts down below in the comment section so leave your thoughts down there, hit that like and subscribe button and without further ado let's talk about Abigail because this is about a group of criminals who kidnap the ballerina, a daughter of a powerful underworld figure, they retreat to an isolated mansion unaware that they're locked inside with no normal little girl. Now the marketing, the posters, the trailers, they are very much screamed what is going on with this little girl and I will say right now if you're one of the few people that does not know what's going on with this little girl I am going to say what type of creature she is. I just want to give that warning there might be that one person on the space of the internet that does not know I'm going to talk about it because it's very hard to not talk about it specifically because it's in literally all the marketing. So one, two, three, yeah Abigail is a vampire and I really liked how Radio Science actually played on the lore of it all. I pretty much felt like this is a vampire goodie bag and the way that Radio Science kind of picked and took a little bit of this lore kind of twisted it a little bit here and played around with it a little bit more here and I overall thought that that's actually one of the better ideas that they had for something like this because honestly like vampire films used to be something that we got quite a bit then Twilight hit and no shade towards Twilight. My wife is like one of the biggest fans of that franchise but you know that came and gone and I felt like we didn't really have like anything vampire for like quite a while and it seems like in the last couple of years we've started to really get back up on the anti of giving us vampire goodness. We had the voyage film last year with Dracula and then we have Abigail this year. We have a new Ryan Coogler and Michael E. Jordan vampire for natural action film coming out next year and it's kind of just great to be living in this era of it all but I'm getting off on a tangent to stick on to the topic of Abigail and why I found this film to be awesome is because of how again it plays off the vampire lore. It's familiar but at the same time it feels a little bit fresh and new and I really like because that's what radio silence delivered with ready or not and primarily as well scream 5 and scream 6 something that feels familiar but at the same time feels fresh and new. Very happy to see that they were able to do it all over again with something different and vampires are one of those things that as the older I get the more and more I appreciate like the lore of Dracula and other things into this creature features. There's a lot that I definitely love that they played off of it on but to add into that as well you know this film wouldn't really work without the actual star of the film and that star is Alicia Weir who plays Abigail in here. She is phenomenal. I know a lot of people were all obsessive over Megan last year. I personally wasn't but Alicia is incredible in here. If you're looking for your next horror obsession, she is it. Like I barely saw any of the trailers in this but what I was really pleasantly surprised was to see that they gave Abigail a personality.  There was actually a little bit more to her and specifically in her personality in the way that she plays the character in the way that they actually world build Abigail and where she comes from again playing back to the familiar tropes that we've seen and some of the newer fresher things they do. They do a great job in the sense of building world building all inside this creepy resident evil Wesker-esque mansion. Shout out to that. This mansion completely felt like it came out of a resident evil game. Back to Alicia. I was really fascinated by the way that she played this character. It wasn't again just the movements or how she did it. It all comes down to her voice, her presence, when she is on screen and what she is able to deliver and I'm very happy that not just the script but herself gave a personality to something that could have came off very one-dimensional and it did not. Of course, the rest of the crew is fantastic. Rest in peace, Angus Cloud. He's great. I really liked Matthew Good in here, Giancarlo Esposito. Very small role but always fantastic to see. Kevin Durand I thought was awesome in here.  Going back to Kevin he had a lot of fun moments in here and that's like one of the things that I can say is that this is just fun. There's enough jump scares in here to get you smiling, get your adrenaline pumping and at the same time there's a lot of gore, action, thrilling aspects to it all that again just continue to keep you entertained and nice witted humor throughout it all and that really all comes down to this crew where like the rest of them if I'm looking at William Cadillat who I thought was also great in here is Rickles. Can't forget to talk about Katherine Newton because she was also great in here as well. Two people that I've been dying to talk about throughout this review is Dan Stevens who is just great in everything he does. He can flip a script and become a completely different character at any point in time in any movie and it's great to see him and go from a crazy and fun character from Godzilla and Kong who of course now in this film you see him play this more serious but over the top character and what they primarily do with his character goes wild and ballistic and I loved it. Melissa Burrara I think solidifies herself as a top 10 horror actress icon of all time with this movie. That might be recency bias you might be calling that maybe she's not in your top 10 but for me she was. She's my favorite character in screen five she was my favorite character in screen six hands down and in this besides Alicia because Abigail does so much in here Joey is just perfection that same feeling I had watching Samara weaving and ready or not where I'm like instantly in love with her character Melissa Burrara is the same way and it's very hard to do that because her character in a sense is not a good person and you start to learn a lot more about her and everyone else involved in this group they're not great people really enough Melissa Burrara your top 10 horror icon of all time and I love that Abigail solidified that I'm really happy that radio silence brought her back for this I could just continuously love to see them working together no matter what they do and I can't wait to see what she does next speaking about what I just mentioned with their characters and how they develop their characters that was actually something very unique this film could have easily just given us these characters where you just like them because of the personalities that they have and that's like an easily accessible way to get us into a horror film and then you could have gone the cheap way of giving us exposition with like two characters talking and sharing their story or having the group of characters sit around in a circle and be like yeah back in my day this is what I used to do oh yeah I'm new to the group and all this sorts of stuff no they do it in a very unique way where none of these people know each other but they're just kind of hanging out at one point and Melissa Burrara's character kind of has this essence and nuance that she can just read someone and know who they are and when she calls out one person they all agree and that person agrees as well and they keep going around in a circle and it's very unique that they were able to develop characters like that it's not something you see too often but it's something that I have to appreciate last pro that I really have for this is just the murder the kills the gore the horror elements of that and again that all flies back over to the vampire of it all I loved what they were able to touch on and again play off into that mythology again and I really like how the gore escalates and gets gorier and gorier from each kill to each set piece all the way up until the third act which I just thought was absolutely glorious and I wish we would have actually gotten there a little bit sooner and that's where I'm ready to talk about my issues with the film now I did finally go back and watch the trailer literally as reviewing this and that trailer spoils a lot now even though the trailer did spoil a lot the one thing that I actually think is very disappointing and actually holds the film back is the fact if you know Abigail is a vampire going into this movie the reason I say that is because for about 25 to 30 minutes of the film's runtime entire first half you're sitting there as an audience member knowing what Abigail is while these characters are trying to figure out what is going on in this house and it just feels off because we know and there's a couple kills that they like hide because they're trying to hide that it's Abigail doing this all I find that that was not the best thing to show I wish they would have kind of done something that was like barbarian where barbarian just said there's something weird happening in this airbnb you better watch I think that would have maybe made Abigail a better viewing experience specifically in suspense in that first half because the whole time I'm just waiting for these characters and for that twist and turn to figure out for them that yeah there's a vampire in your damn house and it's the little girl it's the one thing that I think would have helped with the pacing in the first half and primarily maybe just the entire film then to play devil's advocate I do want to say at the same time maybe I didn't know that and I still watch the film and I find that it was a little bit slow but how does it work on rewatches does it matter that I know that Abigail is a vampire does that ruin the first half not necessarily I think it would have been nice to kind of just discover that and have that memory but if I'm playing devil's advocate I could see that bothering some people that maybe the first half is just genuinely slow and they played it a little bit too safe and I find that when we get to the third act there's a lot of interesting aspects and world building that happens in that last act that I actually wish we would have gone to a little bit sooner there's a little bit of a repetitive nature throughout the movie where it's like oh Abigail disappears and they're trying to do the next thing to move forward and they always add like something new in those moments but it wasn't enough to keep the pacing fresh and I guess that is the only big con I have whether it is from the first half or whether the marketing had ruined the surprise of what Abigail is and maybe that hurt the pacing there's just a couple things here and there where I was like okay like let's move it on I will say when we get to the third act as messy as it can be bloody gory and specifically in story I fucking loved it I thought it was so much fun and I was happy to see where it ended up going I think that's where it's like safe to say that like Abigail the movie is just a gorefest it's an adrenaline rush of vampire goodness that lets radio science silence flip the vampire genre and lore in a new and familiar way one that will very much please many Melissa Brera continues to solidify herself as a horror icon and Alicia where it deserves all the love I overall really like this movie I thought it was a completely entertaining horror movie and one that like again plays into a genre that I was very happy to see for me couple nitpicks here and there whether it's with the pacing whether it's with the marketing I think there's a couple things to all be there I feel like my feelings on those nitpicks will either grow or dwindle when I get to see this film again but it is one of those few films that I came home and I was like man I want to show my wife this movie and she's one of those people that I'm excited to take to the movies again and go and see Abigail this week and theaters to make sure to leave your thoughts down below and with all that said I'm gonna give Abigail a B thank you so much again guys for watching this again hit that like subscribe button to leave your thoughts down there what's your favorite vampire movie what's your favorite radio silence film I've been watching these guys back from the Chad Matt and Rob YouTube channel when they made a scary alien short that scared the shit out of me but it was a lot of fun and uh yeah I'm very happy to see where they keep going and I can't wait to see what they do after Abigail as well so again leave your thoughts down below and of course until next time stay classy


The trauma of being in forced marriages filled with a series of violent abuses is one which oftentimes contributes to broken homes and failed matrimonies. A 2021 report by Save the Children International revealed that about 78% of girls in northern Nigeria are victims of forced child marriage. 26-year-old Amina Zakari, a survivor of SGBV in Kano State, narrates a horrific experience in a forced marriage filled with abuses for eight years. Correspondent Stephen Enoch has more in the show. To date, Amina is hurt by her family's decision to forcefully marry her off to a man she never wanted. Aside from the multiple sexual violence she had to grapple with in her eight-year-old marriage, the matrimony may have shattered her hopes of attaining a university degree. Irrespective of the facts that her family knew about this series of abuses, they insisted she remained in the marriage. My mother is late and I've been living with my extended family who forced me to marry a man I didn't love when I was 18 years old. Because I was threatening to either marry him or leave the house, I had no option than to agree to the forced marriage. We have been in the marriage for eight years and throughout this period, we always had issues and he always beats me up messlessly. I remember a day he beats me so badly that I had several injuries in my body. Then, I was four months pregnant. After visiting the hospital for treatment, I was told that I had lost the baby. This made me feel so bitter to the point that I had to run to my father because I couldn't bear it anymore, but my extended family still forced me back to my husband's house. My husband told them that I had a spiritual problem, which is why we always had issues in the marriage. When she couldn't take the ill treatment any longer, she gave in to thoughts of suicide. Amina wants a divorce, but her husband and extended family members are opposed to it. On a Saturday night when I was temporarily staying at my father's house, my husband and the other extended family lied to my dad that another man was trying to steal me from my husband, which is why I want a divorce and run away.  Days later, I tried to commit suicide, but someone caught me and afterwards, I reached out to the Kano State Human Rights Commission to intervene in my situation. Shehu Abulahi, the Kano State Coordinator of the National Human Rights Office, says Amina's family will be engaged and the marriage will be deserved since there is a threat to life. We call all the parties involved, including the respondent, that is the husband, then the family, if they have parents, we call the parents and discuss it amicably, if they agreed or they resolved it at our level so that the marriage can be dissolved and dealt with accordingly. But if it couldn't, we refer the case to courts for the decision and mostly the cases we refer the court, the court will decide on the favour of the victim. The federation of Muslim women associations in Nigeria recently trained journalists in Kano on issues relating to sexual and gender-based violence and experiences like Halima's. Mohammed Abu Bakr, the D-mail officer at Form 1, says religious and traditional leaders have a role to play in LGBT cases. For community leaders, they have this territory or they have the structure in engaging with other people from the community. So true, they are officers, let me say exalted officers, they receive some of these complaints which they manage, but now we're trying to tell them that some of these issues, they can't manage it. Even the religious leaders, we're trying to say that are already established government institutions that are taking care of some of these issues. So when they receive some of these cases, it's good, you know, they channel it to the appropriate authority so that they are the ones in charge, they are the ones that knows how they can mitigate some of these issues. The way forward is more awareness, more sensitization, more training for people in understanding what is expected when an issue like this happens, either in their community or any working place. As Amina seeks an end to her eight-year-old abusive marriage, she hopes to pick up the pieces of her life by starting afresh. Steven Enoch plus Steven Hughes, Kano.
