Hey guys, you're right. It's Mark. I've had a shave so you might not recognize me a little bit more fresh face But I thought I would just do a quick recap on the week and you can see out in front of you I've got all my most recent trades open So if I just quickly talk about how they got if you look at the dates So you can see I haven't actually bought an awful lot of stock for a while now So this is we're currently on the 30th of March So this week would have been starting the 25th. You can see it's literally three positions that we've opened for this week, so Yeah, I thought to give you a quick overview I'm tempted if you didn't know if you're if you're on a browser if you do this and you minimize Oh, hold on you minimize it when you go on your news feed. I'm gonna tell you what you're up for the last seven days I didn't know that until quite recently. It's the last seven days are up three eleven, which is cool. Um, but let's just take a look so If you've been following me for any amount of time, you'll know that Well, you know what stocks I'm kind of investing in and why I'm investing in It seems like and obviously talking about, you know, having some patience. It seems like over this last week The stocks that we've been investing in have kind of Turned up a little bit for us and started doing what we was expecting them to Coca-Cola, you can see we've been buying in since about mid-February And we're just starting to kind of turn the corner here. So As you can see, we said that when it pulled back, right? So you see it was here It had a bad and it pulled back and right to this support level around 45 and we continue to kind of buy in Almost around what's that going to be? Not it'll be about six seven eight percent of our total account And we expected it to kind of push off this level break above the MA which it has done You can see that there's been a bit of resistance around this SMA here I will what I will say is I'll expect towards to kind of the start of next week for these to For a lot of these stocks to pull back again And potentially we can buy in and then for them to continue Pushing up was just because of the direction and so on. So you can see obviously on the rsi It's a little bit over overbought as well right now But as I expected to pull back but because there's so much Room for growth here kind of right up to this 50 level I'm quite happy to see these pullbacks and try and kind of keep my composure With it and hold on so we should see kind of a decent margin for for profit here With this one, so that's coke As I say the mac d's coming down or it's kind of neutral sort of it's not really doing anything that's helpful But the EMA is pointing out the SMA looks like it's kind of and we've got a slight break above it and it's held So you never know See how this moves but as I say I mean conservatively you can see that there has been this resistance previously around this 47 mark Um, but it does have the pinch kind of pushed her up to 50. So and that's what we're looking for So that's coke for this week Let's have a look at the rest of our portfolio And delta airlines again, and you'll notice as well that a lot of the stocks that I trade have super similar patterns um So you can see very like horizontal like ding ding ding ding constantly bouncing between the same levels Very much the same with delta airlines between 48 and 54 if you see that look at this You know previously this is going right back to I'm kind of october of last year. It's gone between these two levels. Can you see that? I'm not in my head with it And then it's kind of got a bit of a higher support here, but generally it pulls back and then pushes up um, so again, this is a bit overbought and um on the rsi the mac d is curving in for a buy though. Um Pushed and held above the EMA, which is a screen line here. Um, if you're not familiar with how to set that up again links in the description Um, but again, I would expect this to pull up and then continue to push on to 54 Does have the potential to push higher And if you want to be slightly aggressive at 56 or even um towards 60 But um, I'd rather be kind of conservative and just you know go where it's most consistent So that's how we're at with delta. Um, again, we've got quite a decent position size in that Ali Baba and have our both of these. Um, hold on Ali Baba Um Again, you know, it's going to be I don't sound like a broken record But I just want to show you guys the pattern so you can see what I'm trading. Um, very horizontal Um between kind of 166 and 192 Um, in my opinion and obviously we had this breakout um Towards kind of the back end of last year and we're at pulled all the way down to 131, but um, you can see the smas card Up the EMA is Uh, really positive right now. I'm a lot of consolidation around this 178 But we've you know pulled back slightly and then we've got the EMA pointing up again Um, and hopefully keep that momentum going towards kind of 192 and that's when we'll look to To cut out of Ali Baba. Um RSI still looks good for this. Matt D still looks good So again with the indicators, um, it's kind of not the be all and end all It's just as I say what it's exactly that it's an indicator. So, um, you know using for reference Um, especially if you're kind of starting out, you this is super good reference to use or in my opinion anyway um, but also kind of look At the price right and forget that it's a stock or a share or anything like that and just kind of Visualize it as a product and if you had a a graph of What the price of a product was at your local supermarket or something? Um, just kind of work out. Would I be getting ripped off and I'm buying this at a good price sort of thing? I feel like because it's stocks people would just like quite happily buy here when you can clearly see that That's the most expensive. It's been sort of thing. I hope that makes sense. Um, so that's Ali Baba um Let's have a look dominoes pizza. I had loads of dominoes yesterday as well So it's a great show all of these are in green. Um, no one had um, wasn't even a bad earnings report it was just um An earnings report that that predicts is slightly slower growth And you can see it's pulled right back consolidated around 242 Um, can you see how it's hit this price often and then bounce starts at 242 here 242 here and again, there's a lot of consolidation and then it pulls up right and we've got a lot of consolidation And then we've seen it shoot up rapidly. It's got rejected by the SMA here Um, which I'm not surprised that RSI has massively um over over what? Um, the mat diesel so kind of peeked out in my opinion Um, but again, look at the price Um, so typically that would be a sign for me to kind of cut my losses or or close the position But um, you know, I would expect this to pull back to the EMA and then continue to push up And then that would level out this RSI and the mat D for me Um, but yeah, so I hope that makes sense and obviously look at the price We have the potential to tonight through if we wanted to be conserving and I might be conservative with this Um, and you know a 270 280 something like that But um, there's definitely still room to squeeze out an extra few percentage points in that one I'm buying again these are running green now Which is good shout out to my copiers, you know doing their thing Um and and seeing it through but you've seen this bounce off. I said previous um So previous resistance acting as new support and we thought that this would happen here We called it and that's exactly what's happened around this kind of 370 level And we've seen it break and hold above the EMA. It's actually broken held above the SMA as well, which is really good The mat D looks kind of peaked out for me though and the RSI is at an okay level But again, we have the potential for this price to kind of move right up And also if you look at the one week on this, um It's kind of a lot of solid growth The only thing that slightly concerns me is the Um, how consistently it's traded between this two level these two levels So if it holds below 370 it might kind of continue to push back and then trade between this range again Um, which is you know, the only thing that I'm a little bit Kind of on the fence about so Oh, excuse me, but You know, we'll see we'll see how it plays out, especially because of the fact that it's grown You know so consistently over time um Makes me a bit more confident to kind of hold on to it, but we'll see how it plays out And obviously if I feel any kind of You know, not super confident in it then I will just close the positions Um, Nike again, you know common trend. This was um off of an annies report that that predicted slower results I was expecting the SMA to act as a support We've seen it um bounce off of it here because it acted as a resistance previously right here here And then we see it broke through on that occasion. Um, but you've seen it act as a support as well right along here um So quite happy to buy in um, I'll probably look to close this around 87 I think it's still got some some room to grow just because of the kind of uptrend that's been on quite strong and again over the long term uptrend as well, so Still got some room there. All right, so it looks good. Matty's curving in still so the indicators are on our side with this one along with the price So, um, and you know, I've only got one percent of the account in it So I'll look to potentially um add some more an average up as this moves up But we'll see Abba very similar to Ali Baba. I'm very similar pattern. Um trading very horizontal horizontally Consolidating pullback but then broke above the EMA SMA pointing up mac d and rsi looks good on this as well So, you know That's You know, it looks good And then I made a whole video about disney. Um, you can see I've bought in some extra positions So we're about four percent into four percent of our account into disney right now um If you haven't seen I'm not going to go super into it, but I made a whole video just on disney Um, but you can see that it's got support around 109 and this resistance at 117 or conservatively at 114 um So, yeah, this and I think this is a super solid buy just because of how often it does that Um, and how consistent it trades horizontally so Yes, that's that and disney berkshire half away. Um, we're still under red with berkshire, but um You know, it's still showing the support at 199 Um, the only thing that's a little bit concerning and we'll still be in the green if we sell out here. So, you know As concerned as it can be But in the kind of over the past what's this since kind of the start of the year Um, it's been trading between 199 and two To 207 something like that. Um, can you see this? In fact, if we made the time frame a bit short, it might be a bit more evident. Yeah, right So you see it's been trading, um between this channel, uh for for a little while now So this is sort of becoming like a resistance point. So hopefully Um, you know, I want to see it break out above here and reach these eyes of 216 and I'm sure it will do Um, but just got to have a little bit of patience Uh, jp morgan's another one that's kind of bounced back And I'm a little bit But again, we've seen this kind of break below this resistance quite It's caught some momentum with the ema here. Um, and we want to see that continue before we consider, you know buying anymore into that So, but I think there's everything for the week. Um So far for the year we've had, you know, three going months up 20% for the year. Um Just over one and a half percent for march. So hopefully we can kind of continue Don't watch this, you know, this is all a learning curve You can see the difference in the way that that trade you can see where it's like a high leverage and Kind of gambling versus when I think we changed it around around june last year Um, and you can see just a lot of learning and then you know Towards the back end of last year. We had the bad january and blah blah blah But onwards and upwards and you know, we've got a little a little bit more disciplined a little bit more structured to what we're doing So that's good. Uh, also, let's have a look at the copies. Shout out to you guys Um, I'm disappointed or I'm upset that you guys left. Um, but it is what it is. I'm glad that you, you know came on board Um, shout out to Alex Dora. I know the this is you and dj cosy Um doing a bit so hopefully we can kind of keep this guy as well If you enjoyed the video Um, you know like the video subscribe share it with your friends and tell everyone about it. Um, I will be doing Um, you know more breakdowns of stocks that we're looking over in the next couple of weeks Um, it's as I say, we'll probably continue with what we've got. Um, and You know, just see if we can find anything in a decent kind of spot to buy if anyone's got any stocks They're watching um, I'm always all ears to kind of hear what what you're looking at and and potentially picking up some new new stocks because I just stay with the same ones and just wait for the the price to look Uh, good basically. Um, yeah, thanks for watching and I'll catch you guys later


Welcome to the session, let us understand the following question which says, the radius of an air bubble is increasing at the rate of 1 by 2 cm per second at what rate is the volume of the bubble increasing when the radius is 1 cm. Now let us proceed on to the solution. Let R be the radius of the air bubble, B be the volume, it is given to us that radius of an air bubble is increasing at the rate of 1 by 2 cm per second that is dr by dt is equal to 1 by 2 and we have to find at what rate the volume of bubble is increasing that is dv by dt, we know volume of an air bubble that is a square is given by v is equal to 4 by 3 pi r cube, now differentiating it with respect to t we get dv by dt is equal to 4 by 3 pi multiplied by 3 r square dr by dt which is equal to this 3 and 3 gets cancelled so 4 pi r square dr by dt is given to us as 1 by 2 multiplied by 1 by 2, this 4 gets cancelled by 2 and we get here 2 so it is equal to 2 pi r square therefore dv by dt is equal to 2 pi r square, now we have to find dv by dt when radius is equal to 1 cm therefore dv by dt at r is equal to 1 is equal to 2 pi multiplied by 1 multiplied by 1 which is equal to 2 pi hence volume is increasing at the rate of 2 pi cm cube per second which is the required answer I hope you understood this question buy and have a nice day.


This is Chris Pipe. My friends call me Big C. I'm back again guys today We're gonna talk about YouTube's new translation tool. Yep We got a best practice video coming up here, and we got something brand new that not a lot of people are using It just came out and here's the thing It can help you attract a larger audience community particular a global audience sounds good Well, it is so stay tuned and let's talk about it. All right with that little read Preamble out of the way. I will acknowledge up front here that YouTube has had some translation tools in the past as you're probably aware You could upload subtitles or closed captions in a second language and bang they will show up on the video Here's the thing It was a lot of work took a lot of time and really it wasn't getting really great results So most people just don't use that feature or that feature set and YouTube. Well, they caught on to that They're like, hey, we can do this and this isn't working So they've gone ahead and made some big changes in fact to major changes and those are things I'm gonna talk about All right, the first major change is All right The first major change is the least exciting out of the two But I want to get this one out of the way and at least make you guys aware that it's out there now Here's the thing YouTube has created a translation Marketplace. Yeah, sounds kind of weird. Hey, it's kind of cool.  How does it work?  So it's really really new. It's pretty beta not gonna lie And it is there now I haven't used it personally But I am gonna take a look at it and do that in a tutorial that follows this Video here. So if you guys want to take a first look with me, there's a tutorial attached to this We're gonna look at it guys keep in mind that the reason why you might want to consider translating it your video Or or the next feature which I'll talk about second is well 60% sometimes 66% two-thirds of your videos come from countries that are not your own and in some countries It's even higher and in a lot of those countries. They speak different languages If you have a video that's really really cool or really popular And you really really like it and you think it would do well in another language Having all of that search engine optimization with you know all of the terms and the titles and everything else in another language Could actually get you more viewers and get you more subs and all that stuff So it could be worth doing this translation Also, if anybody has used the marketplace for this and I don't think anybody has yet because it's pretty new But if you have leave a comment, let me know what you think about it. All right Let's get into the second more exciting feature now All right the second and most exciting feature in my opinion is Having your community Translate your videos what the heck you're probably thinking yeah guys They've opened it up via you know vis-a-vis a crowdsourced model where your community your if your community is active presumably They can go ahead and just start translating your videos for you if you let them This is a feature that you have to enable and I will show you in the tutorial where this is available and how to do it But yes guys, this is available So for those you that have an active community This could be really good news because your people might just go ahead and start translating your video And you'll just get more subs more views just by not even doing anything other than clicking a few switches The other thing guys are for those you that are newer to YouTube or maybe your community isn't very large yet You might not benefit from this right away because you know who's gonna take the time to do that if you only got like a Few viewers, but here's something you might want to think about and here's the best practice You may if you speak two languages for example and another guy or another gal makes a video and they speak two languages Or something like that you can actually offer to translate a video for them And maybe they could translate a video for you if I speak English and French and you speak English and Japanese I'll translate your Japanese video into French and you could translate my video into whatever I just told you to Japanese my English video into Japanese boom tit for tat you guys both Benefit from that and you don't need a large community for that. This is completely hypothetical. I have not tried this I don't think anybody's tried it yet. It's still new, but you might want to think about this Also guys think about some of the stats I mentioned briefly in the past two-thirds of your videos Like I said they come from other countries 60 up to 60 percent of people that click on videos don't you know They might not be first They might not that whatever your languages might not be the first language English in most cases as I imagine But guys all that in mind. Yeah, there is an opportunity to get out to a global audience Also, this is a new feature from YouTube So for people that adopt new features from from big providers like YouTube and Google they often get I will say Incommensurate rewards meaning that YouTube wants this feature to work. They spent probably years Maybe months developing this who knows how much money they spent setting this up They wanted to work people that adopt new technologies like this and they adopt them quickly They often get outsized for worse think about League of Legends for example a new character gets released He's always frigging OP at the beginning or she's OP. It's just how it is they nerf it at some point But it's always OP. Well, this is a new feature. This is probably OP right now So you may want to get on this bandwagon test it out This could be a big opportunity for you guys. All right, this is my best practice for today I hope this info help Please let me know if you've tried this or you're intending on trying this and if you had results with it Or any luck, let me know. Please enjoy the tutorial that I'm about to show you now and I'll be back soon with some more Freedom stuff. You know how it is. This is big seat. Check it out. Hello. Hello. Welcome to the tutorial component of the video I'm gonna try and make this nice and quick, but accessing the translation Functionality isn't extremely user-friendly. So we got to take a quick look around Obviously, you'll see that this is my personal channel. I've got 433 subscribers Yeah, all right, but I in case you want to subscribe I do all sorts of tricky tutorials about how to create Camera tracking and enhancing dark footage and using expressions and basically I'm gonna make you into a really good editor If you want to be a good editor, so come on down, but either way it doesn't matter To access the translation features. Let's get going click on the little icon here Access your creator studio. We're gonna look at the paid for version first Just because that's the easier one to find. Okay, here we go. We're on this now. All we got to do is select a video So let's say I'm just gonna select. No, I either on button there Sorry, I'm gonna select this video how to render an alpha channel and it will be after effects For example, click on the down arrow Then you want to go to info and add settings right here. Oh Yeah, and yeah, you're gonna see the standard stuff But there is a tab called Translations all you could have to do is go down to here and you're gonna see the new get professional translation By translation click on that and it's gonna take you through the process I haven't uploaded the captions to this yet. So it's not gonna let me do that yet But if I want to translate from English pick your original language I want the title. I want the description and I'm gonna click next Then I'm gonna select an app language that I want to translate it to we're gonna go right down at the bottom and go to Zulu Obviously, I got a big market over there. I didn't know that was a language, but whatever click next Bang, we have two service providers currently you're gonna see that they've got a four and a half star here four and a half Star there and here is their pricing $7 and $49 Holy smokes, there's quite a difference and if you click on that you're gonna notice that the pay option comes up I'm obviously not gonna translate this into Zulu, but this is how you would do it if you're interested in it Now the second part of the video we talked about community Which is probably the part that's most interesting to you guys to access that it is not down here You need to go to community for at least for the first time click on the community button and Then you got to go down to contribute subtitles and manage subtitles and cc. So let's Manage subtitles and cc. Let's see that happens here. You have nothing in the thingy-dingy This is where it gets wonky. You actually have to go to this button up here the little tool button Click it and then go through the process So as you could see here, you could turn on or off community contributed subtitles and closed captions Etc. Etc. To use this feature What language I speak English all right turn on for all videos or turn off for all videos We're gonna turn on for all videos at this point Bang community contributed subtitles and CC turned on for all videos guys Community people can go in and go nuts and get on this. So there you go. That's how you enable it There might be a little bit more to it, but right now that's where it's at with the beta I hope this helped you and I will be back tomorrow with another freedom video. Thanks for watching. Cheers


Officials in Afghanistan have now confirmed at least 30 people died in an attack on the country's largest military hospital in the capital, Kabul. Four men, at least one, wearing a suicide jacket were involved. The so-called Islamic State group has said it carried out the attack. The first time IS fighters have engaged with Afghan security forces in the capital, perhaps suggests the group is changing tactics. Let's speak now to Colin Cookman. He's a South and Central Asia analyst at the United States Institute of Peace is in Washington, D.C. Colin, what do you make of this attack? Well obviously it was a horrible morning in Kabul in terms of the casualties. We've seen a few attacks by the Islamic State in Kabul over the past several months, but as you said this is the first one where they've sort of engaged in a battle with Afghan forces. But as they've come under pressure in the eastern part of the country it seems perhaps the strategy is shifting on their part and they are now relying more on these major large scale attacks. So do you see it as a sign of strength or a sign of weakness? And do you see it as a change of tactics? It does seem to be a change of tactics in terms of the strength of the organization overall. Reports from U.S. and NATO military commanders suggest that they are under greater pressure in the east. There are a number of fighters in the country declining. So this would be potentially a way that they're trying to respond to put a hit back against the Afghan government. Does it surprise you at all that security at the hospital wasn't tighter? Would it have been seen as a likely target? Well I can't speak to sort of the details of the security protocols there. I think obviously this particular hospital did come under attack in the past by the Taliban actually several years ago. But there's been a number of these attacks in Kabul. Unfortunately a couple of gunmen and a suicide bomber is enough to tie up the situation for several hours as the Afghan security forces work to respond. What are the chances do you think of the Afghan security forces getting a grip on the country as a whole? Senior U.S. military figure described the war there as lost today. Well obviously it's a major challenge for the government. Last spring and summer there were intense Taliban attacks around the country as well as groups like the Islamic State. U.S. and other partners are working to support those forces. But looking into the spring and summer ahead I think we can expect that it will also be a serious challenge for them to defend against these sorts of attacks and to take more proactive action against these groups. Colin Cookman of the U.S. Institute of Peace, thank you very much. Thank you.


Hello again, St. Lucia, and welcome to the program, Agriculture on the Move. I am Philip Sidney, your host. Today we are discussing a hurricane preparation to minimize damages on farms. That is not new. I think every farmer knows what to do in preparing for a hurricane. But it is our duty in the ministry to ensure that we still remind you of what you should do. Sometimes you forget. Agriculture is a business. There is money involved. And you need to protect your investment. So today with me to discuss this is the engineering unit. Our three gentlemen here with me, Mr. Kwisi Goddard, who is an engineer and he is the officer in charge of that unit. We have Joel Ramin, who is also attached to that unit. And of course, my good friend, Quint Odlam, who is an old head in the ministry. And of course, he is here to share his views. Gentlemen, welcome to the program. Yes, thank you. Thank you very much. Quint, I know Quint well Goddard has such a view because we as head, we need to know, people out there need to know, you know, what is the function of the engineering unit? Well, the Agriculture Engineering Services Division is a unit that is primarily responsible for looking at interventions, dealing with soil conservation and drainage, agricultural water management. And farm power through we fundamentally deal with a tractor hire scheme. Normally, the agricultural engineering is also concerned with, you could see preventive measures. That's why when you start a building or you start a farm or any process you start, you normally contact an engineer or technical officer, agricultural officer to assist you with planning ahead. So actually consider these issues that we're going to speak about in the initial stages of your farm from how you place your farm. So that in the longer run, I mean, we're talking about disaster preparedness today. Disaster preparedness is not something that we should recommend doing last minute. It should be something that we should be thinking of from the onset of our operation. So in our unit, we try, we really double in a lot of different technologies in all areas. We look at appropriate technologies in each of the areas which fit our population and our farmers to assist them with improving the efficiency of how they operate on their farm, improving the efficiency of water use and land use and labor use, energy use on farms. Okay, so with that in mind, okay, let's move on to the metric region in terms of how do you tell a farmer to prepare himself the oncoming hurricanes? Because we, I know it starts in June, the hurricane starts in June and I was told in December. So right now we are in the preparatory stages to ensure the farmer knows exactly what to do. So what is expected of the farmer from your end? What do you think? Well, from my end, I guess I can speak about aquaponics because under the agricultural engineering services division, we also do aquaponics, we do hydroponics, we do water management, we do GIS and mapping. And we also do biogas digesters. We help in the design and technical, give technical advice for greenhouse or protective structures. So I will just double into the aquaponics aspect. So aquaponics is basically the incorporation of those who don't know, fish and plants. So the plants get nutrients from the fish. So for preparedness in the aquaponics stage, let's say you have a smaller, because a lot of people have smaller aquaponics systems in the backyard and some farmers have larger systems. Now like Mr. Sidney said, when you would prepare for disaster preparedness, and Kwissia also mentioned that, it's supposed to be done in the initial stages.  So things like the structural stability of your system, you would think of how you should make them strong enough to withstand certain types of category wind, things like backup for your system. The system operates on pumps. So you need water pumps, you need air pumps. So without the water pumps, the water will not circulate. So you know during them, there might be a disaster where there might be electrical outage. So these kind of things have been a possibility. You have to think of okay, so if I'm out of electricity for a day or two, how would my fish manage or stay alive within that stage? So things you might do is, if you have, like let's say you have a heavy stocking ratio, so that means you have a lot of fish in a small area, let's say a 200 gallon tank. That's usually the size of the average aquaponics fish tank. So let's say you have 100 fish and maybe there might be an electrical outage. What you would do is that you would actually separate the fish and put them into smaller containers so that they would use up less oxygen. Because the main thing is that when there is no electricity maybe for a day, they may not have enough oxygen in the water. So what you would do, you would just move some of the fish and put them in separate containers so they would use less oxygen from the water. And also another suggestion would be rotating your water so if the water supply doesn't come back the same day, maybe you can empty out the majority of the tank and fill it with fresh oxygen in the water. Right. So that's an example of what you can do from the aquaponics standpoint. We also do GIS on mapping, not the document information service, but actually geographical information systems. So for farmers who have large farms, it's also a good idea for you to get your farm mapped. So you will know the size of your farm, the acreage, you will know where your boundaries are at, you will know what type of crops you are growing and the different parts of your farm. So if there is a disaster and you lose a certain amount of crops, you don't need and you have to give a report maybe for insurance purposes, you wouldn't depend on maybe last minute for to hire a private person or the ministry to go and give an assessment. But if you come to engineering, let's say on a random day you tell them, well, I have this farm in that area and I really need to know, just have an aerial photo of where my farm is at right now in this stage of production just before the hurricane season begins because you say to yourself, what if something happens, right? So you need to know, okay, calculate how much money you would have made. So you would have all these things documented just for the worst case scenarios. Great, great, great. So print on the other hand, okay, you're moving into other structures. The farmer has established his greenhouses, okay. You have the hoop greenhouses, you have the conventional greenhouses. What would you advise a greenhouse farmer to do prior to the hurricane coming in? Okay, for the greenhouse farmers, one of the main things they would have to do is remove the plastic, right? The plastic serves as a barrier for the wind. If there's no plastic, there's less contact for the wind and there's less of a structure for the wind to destroy. So the greenhouse farmers, I mean, it's something that should be established by whoever is supplying the greenhouse to them. It's common practice that come the hurricane season or come the advice of a hurricane, you should remove the plastic on your greenhouses. Okay. We say greenhouses, but a lot of them are protected structures. Yeah, shade houses. Shade houses, yeah. Greenhouses are specific structure. Yeah, but for the protected structures, the shade houses, due to the way they designed, most times it is not that difficult to remove the plastic. All right. So we advise the farmers to go ahead and remove the plastic. Okay. To add to your earlier question about aspects of engineering, engineering came about to provide the engineering services of agriculture to the other departments and to the farmers. So we provide services to the fisheries department. We are the ones who actually design and build fish bonds, right? So we provide services to the extension unit in terms of irrigation, in terms of land preparation, drainage, that kind of stuff. And we also provide services to the vet unit in terms of the design of pig pens and the construction of biogas digesters. Okay. So in terms of the pig pens and the fall coops, there's nothing much you could do with them. True. It's a matter of designing them from the beginning to withstand these conditions. But after they have been constructed, sorry, there's not much you could do. That's why it's kind of important that you get the right information before you go ahead and construct. Great, great. A lot of farmers, sorry, they lose their pens simply because of the design and location. Great, great. Yes, because you have some of this infrastructure that we're dealing with, some of them being constructed because you have a lot of people have skills. They can build, they can do masonry, they can do all this. But you build something in an area where it's at the bottom of a hill on the side of a hill and you have excess runoff at any one time. So in terms of preserving the structural integrity of these things, so that during a major event you do have swelling of the walls, cracking, structural integrity being damaged. In terms of even just maintaining the hygiene, because during these times you have high humidity, so these things can propagate fungus and other these things that cause diseases in animals. So even during that time we talk about structures, we talk about what we do on the land, we talk about preserving, doing things in the initial like putting the contour drains, trying to reduce runoff so that you can reduce that incidence of probably landslides or floods because in a hurricane or in a major storm event what we have, we have a major incidence of rains, high winds, high relative humidity and all of that and the main thing farmers are concerned about is their stock, whether it's plants or the animals, you know, I mean in Senbusha we bear very poor in storage. So for example something is happening and the farmer will run and collect all these watermelon in the field prematurely to try to store it. He might not have the storage conditions. So all that is a consideration, the storage of your inputs, the storage of your outputs, the storage, the protection of your machinery, your equipment as well. You know because these things for example in Maki, in Maki almost every other year we get like a flood down there in Maki and the flood is like I wanted to say a sea. It's true. Because one day we were passing through Maki and we actually saw we saw that flood and I got scared we had to turn back and pass through bogies. The amount of water that was going far less for the sheep and the livestock you have that extensive. So in terms of preserving structural integrity, preserving your inputs because you know the cost of inputs now are rising. So in terms of even preventing a further shortage in food because you know we always have these things out after Maki. Let me just add to that. I just wanted to remind the farmers from irrigation standpoint I don't think we touched on that but in terms of preserving your equipment other farmers you know they abstract water from low line areas and the pump is located almost in the river line. Now some farmers also it's a hassle for them to carry the pump every day. Some farmers actually build a little structure you know to prevent thieves from taking it away but then you have to remember that if you there is a notice of a strong storm or hurricane it might just be a little depression or heavy rains. The same way fishermen are a little bring their boots in. The farmers have to be vigilant so that they can remove all their equipment from the pipes, from the suction pipes, from the pumps and also from the irrigation standpoint from trip lines and sprinklers. So you can see yourself have a lot of hassle because after a storm, after a flood like Christy mentioned in Marquis you have to be going and dig and everything is lost. You have to try and go and hunt for a sprinkler head, you have to hunt for a trip line. It's a hassle. We just want to advise farmers pay attention, listen to the bulletins and take action before. On a good point we'll come back to that Quentin because we are due for our break at this point. You're watching our recursion move, stay tuned. We'll be back soon. Banana farmers, remember me? I destroyed the Grumichel banana variety some years ago. Now, my cousin Tropical Race 4 or TR4 a fusarium wilt banana disease is on the horizon in a more aggressive form and can wipe out the banana industry in a flash. Be vigilant, don't bring any other plants or plant tissue into the island. Report any unusual symptoms on your banana plots to the Department of Agriculture at telephone 468-5600 or the extension officer in your area. Remember, protect our vital banana industry. Welcome back to the program Agriculture on the Move, of course we are talking preparation for disaster hurricane and as I said, the hurricane season starts in June, so we need to alert the farmers, just to remind them they know what to do, but it's our duty to remind them. Question, there is an issue I don't know how to it bothers me, I'll tell you why. For example, during some disaster they had maybe a few years ago there was a farmer with a poultry pen, right, next to a river. That damaged his pen. He went back and reconstructed, he got money from the government, of course they were giving money to recovery. He went back and he built the same place and the same thing happened. So, guide me, I mean what do you do in the case like this? I mean, would you advise the farmer, hey look, this is not a place you should construct a pen, you know, and from the set in other words, it should not have happened in the first place. Quint. Yeah, Mr. Sidney, we have a situation in St. Lucia where anybody becomes a farmer overnight. Okay, so somebody decides to go into pig production and without proper consultation, they just go ahead and get started. Most times we are informed when there is a problem which is when it's too late. Right.  And according to the activity you intend to get into, your extension officer will guide you further. Some of the things that the extension officers know for themselves, they would just go ahead and tell the street off the back. Some of us, they would have to seek assistance. Now when they seek our assistance, we would come in and give you a farm analysis, tell you where is the best place to put what accordingly. Right? But sadly, very often when we come on site work has already started, work is already finished. We usually come when there is a problem. Right? Secondly, we do not have the authority to stop the farmer. We are just the engineering unit. Okay. The authority to stop the farmer comes from another department, another ministry, put it like that. It doesn't even come from the ministry of agriculture. So our hands are tied behind our backs. There is nothing we could do to stop the farmer. Most times the farmer is the owner of the property. Correct. And there is very little control we have over what the farmer does. Okay, so that happens. His pen gets damaged. He fits in the program, the officer He qualifies for compensation. He goes back and he builds the pen in the exact spot. And it happens again. Should there be something saying, hey, you cannot get compensated? Okay, it's who approves the structure. I would think that's ministry of agriculture. This is out of the hands of agriculture. It's a structure that's being built. What we would do, we would provide with the guidelines as to how the structure should be built. But the ministry of planning are the ones who approve. And also we will also give them our input as to if it's appropriate, the location. That's the most important thing. So we would tell them that, okay, this is a structure, yes, but we did a preliminary side visit and we have decided that, okay, maybe the farmer can build the structure somewhere else, which is safer and we can approve. Or if there is no alternative location, we will tell them straight, whoever it is the funding agency, or be it the planning, we will tell them that we advise the farmer that that's not appropriate place to rebuild the structure. So we will have it documented that we are against it and he cannot build it there. Like Quinn said, at the end of the day, the buck does not stop at us. You made up an important point there in terms of the lending institution, you know, who would facilitate the farmer to get a loan, which is fine, but then it's not the right location. So when something happens now, he is impeded because he cannot pay his loan because everything is gone. So that is a serious matter. You have to watch it, you have to also look, okay, the farmer experienced that in the beginning. He went in, he ended up getting in, running into this problem, right? In this situation you speak in there, it's almost like he has no other place that's appropriate for that. He doesn't own no other land, that's the only land, that's his only way of making a livelihood. Like Joel was saying, that we come in, we try to do an assessment of the area, assessment of whether water goes, assessment happens where. If there's a possibility of building some kind of modification of the structure to help it to the major storm. Because normally sometimes when we look at these things, we like to look at, when we have to do this kind of analysis, we look at rainfall over time, a major storm event, how much rain does it bring, you know, the possibility of landslide runoff, destruction to property. So if you can factor in that and there's a possibility, if there's not a possibility, there's not much we can do. We understand the farmer would sometimes go ahead and do the same thing. The only other thing is that, if you can go into something else. Because you find for farmers, egg production and poultry production is one of the enterprises that demands less in terms of human resource and all that. It's very easy for them to go into that once you have the momentum. So there must be, this is a nice discussion that would probably go deeper. What would they, what would the farmer do in that case? But from our standpoint, looking at an assessment and realizing here, you know what, every time it falls that you have too much water, we could try and organize some things on the contours, look at the topography, try and accommodate for the runoff somehow, try and accommodate for the drainage somehow. And I think that should be done before learning institutions. That's a good segue into another service we provide biogas, so long. Yeah. The farmers they into pig production, mainly for money. They are not all that concerned about the environment. The effects of their production. From the Ministry of Agriculture standpoint, we have realized that a lot of pig pens are constructed close to waterways. Because pigs, you need a lot of water to clean and to keep the pig pen tidy. So the runoff from the pig pens with all the contamination from the pig mess ends up in the river. So as an intervention, we try to construct biogas digesters. We have resulted to being able to construct them out of totally local material. Not anything in order for us to construct biogas digesters. So that's just one of the interventions that we have been trying to push. But then again, it's not compulsory. Okay. If we are able to convince the farmer, we get it done. But it's the farmer who still has to buy the local materials to get it done. So it's not compulsory. That's out of our hand. So you're saying that intervention is a technology that appropriates for the environment. So you're saying that for example, he goes to SLDB for a loan to go into swine production and can that not be a criteria for him getting the loan? Yeah, but part of the construction of the pig pen it might require a septic tank. Right. But even the septic tank overflow because most of them are so close to the river that there is no space for all of that. So even the septic tank overflow goes into the river. The water is not properly treated and gets rid of all the bacteria before you could drop it back into the river. Now there are many advantages to the biogas digester versus the septic tank. The biogas digester, the main thing is that it provides cooking gas. Secondly, it provides compost, pit moss which is manure. And thirdly, we're still trying to see how we can turn the liquid manure into a liquid, the liquid waste, sorry into liquid fertilizer because it is loaded with nutrients. By then it has no more bacteria but it has a lot of nutrients. So that again, by so doing there's no runoff in the river or stream near by hopefully, yes. If you add value to the waste the farmer will no longer allow the waste to go around the drain. But talking about drain, sorry talking about drain is a little diversion because we are on the hurricane season and drainage is one of the most important aspects. Okay. Drainage is a national issue yet still it passes through individual people's property so sometimes it is controlled by an individual person. All right. We divert drains right to send the water where we want them where we want it to go. That should not happen. Drainage is one of the most serious issues when it comes to natural disasters. Our drains are usually blocked and very often they are not designed properly. So something you could run and do when you get a warning drainage is something you have to do it in advance. You could remove the plastic if you get a notice a warning. You cannot go clean acres of drains if you get a warning. So the drainage is something that we have to maintain. Right? You do not just do it simply because it's the rainy season. It needs to be maintained throughout because you could get a flash flood at any time because of the biggest disaster.  The little 50 centimeter drains in between. But the drainage network that connects his farm to other farms and the whole in the whole watershed is ignored and you see if they have a problem at any one point you'll have a problem in the whole. Because for example if you have to really look at some of these valleys where we normally have floods in the valleys you realize oftentimes we have salt water intrusion. Oftentimes we have a lot of problems with excess water right? And at the same time in these same areas there's a possibility of managing this water very well. But the individual farmers to come together in groups that is very challenging. It's always like if we come in we have an idea we have a big project that comes in and say hey we're going to look at the drainage intervention area. But after that project is done you know we I don't know if it is we don't have enough influential power or it's not the farmers not seeing when they do a drain and not get a dollar. You know maybe if a contractor comes to get a dollar you know but the thing is this is not factored into a national movement. Because for example we have a big opportunity in this drier period to clean our drains we see it happening the main drains have been done but the lateral drains are not taken care of. The reason we say drainage is a national issue. Because usually a drain will cross modern one boundary or modern one property. So even if you do your section the other person is not doing anything. Exactly so you know it has to be looked at on a national level. It's not a matter of you just cleaning your piece of the drain. It's a network. It's a network. It's a national thing and people have to take pride in it too you know. I am notice places where for example that farmer or that person living in the bodily area will clean his or her drain. But then when it gets to you, you leave it alone and it goes onto the road and it damages the road. I mean if we all do play our part. There are different kinds of drain cleaning. Because I would like to say something that a lot of people might not really appreciate. The way we go about cleaning our rivers it's wrong. Because we cause more destruction than good. So even in cleaning drains you need to be careful. When we talk about cleaning drains, usually we talk about removing debris and maybe some grass cutting. But it is important that you allow the grass to grow to protect the drains. So when we say cleaning drains people need to understand what type of cleaning we are talking about. Even when we clean our rivers we actually clean the river banks which increases erosion. So we have a good intention but we do it wrong way. Gentlemen we have come to the end of the program you know. Very interesting. Fat 2. I want to thank you Chris for being here. Thank you Joel and Quinn for being here. I'm hoping that you will continue to do good work and to again enlighten the farmer as to what to do. But it's not coming to the end and saying we're going to be doing that now. But the preparatory stage is when it's going to be established you need to know to do it well. And in the design stage. Thank you very much. You've been watching Our Reculture of the Move. This is our program and remember agriculture is our business. Eat Fresh. It's the Lucia's Best. I'm Philip Sidney. Goodbye.


Look at that Overlay is pretty cool, right? Yes. Yeah, I'll turn the little piece It's kind of trippy We just made these crazy easy snowflakes It would blow your mind how easy it is and we'll show you how we did it right now What is up? Welcome back. Do you like to do a builder make it great? That's what we do in this channel every week It's December 20th. So this will be our last Christmas project of the year And a little Christmas gift from us to you as we're making a snowflake And a little gift from you to us is we just hit 20,000 subscribers Thank you guys that is so awesome. We didn't know we would ever get here. I Can't tell you how much I appreciate all of the nice comments and feedback We have so many comments and everyone has nice things to say we get very Little hate expecting a lot more and I really really appreciate all the funny comments you guys make and tips tricks thoughts I love it all and I feel like I just chit-chat right back with you guys Oh, yeah, you guys provide so much information back to us through the comments the tips the tricks I mean we've used them all all the tips and tricks that you guys have supplied us We've incorporated into our projects and I love seeing the same names every week I get I feel like I get to know you guys a little bit because a lot of you comment and and I'm like Yes, I know you talk we talked about that last week and I'm doing this this week and it's Some deep subscribers that go back to like 500 200 subscribers we do that's not who you are. Thank you Step one we need to gather all of our snowflake supplies So we're gonna need for my project. I'm gonna need one one by two and Two fence pickets He had those balancing on his knee and for mine I need Three one by floors and a one by two Step two Makeover cuts This one was a tricky one, but since we did our star like two weeks ago. I'll put that video right here Yeah, we learned how to make angles even sharper angles than we knew the miter saw could do First I measured out all of the boards, but I remember to leave an inch just for mistakes Then I made all of those cuts. I cut all of my boards to about the approximate length. They'll be I Took a scrap 2 by 4 and a scrap 2 by 6 to make a guide I pinned them together at the bottom and Then I put them on my miter saw. I set the blade to 30 degrees 30 I made my cut I Set the blade back to zero then I position the board so that the blade cuts Just to the left of center then I flip the board and make the same cut Bam 60 degree point I did the same thing with the 1 by 3s But I had to use a scrap piece of 2 by 4 to set as a stop block so it wouldn't go too deep Bam 60 degrees and then I cut the little Snowflake wing tips and I just cut the corner off that I slid the guide in so it just cut the corner off I Said a stop block up to all the correct lengths and I cut all my 1 by 4s And all my 1 by 2s and my little snowflake wing tips Finally, I had to make my diamonds. So I moved the blade over to 45 Made my first cut use that piece to measure my second cut And then I used that first diamond to lay down the Template for all of my other cuts and I went ahead and cut 12 of these diamonds out step a three assembly We're gonna bring it all together We'll do Kim's first since hers is a Little more intricate. I got a lot going on. She's got a lot of pocket holes big dreams We're gonna put pocket holes and all of her little wing tips And all of her main snowflake pieces I guess let's start pinning it together see if it works. That was a great idea with the pocket holes All right, that's what we've got so far Little pocket hole pattern I love the Craig Jake because we're about to hide all of these screws.  We did That's the backside with all the pocket holes in it. Look at that. That looks so good There you go, there's without the pocket holes Pretty cool, huh? Yes, I drew on it down there. Don't do it. You can do it. I'm gonna put mine together now Now we're doing my snowflake Get to vote again, which one you better? Oh, yeah, another voting thing our kids have already told us which ones they like which one they like better Mine's very diamond-esque Do you want me to glue them? Yeah, I just threw some glue in there. Oh, you don't want me to glue them together.  The nail not the guy and no battery Tripping you out now all of my little diamonds Yes, yeah, let's measure that. Let's make them consistent Now that I'm done playing around you don't plan around I swap out Big bread for a little bread Going in with a little bread It is sparse snowflake my snowflake Very diamond-esque two coats of paint on mine.  I'm coming in with truffle and then putting white on top And then we're gonna distress it. Oh, yeah, then we're distressing and my white right on top He's still working. He's got like tons of paint. I can't tell you how wet this thing is. It's chalk paint. It dries That's why I like it. It dries fast. We're good any heat gun. We're gonna distress it.   It's I like how big it is. I Was just trying my diamonds out. They look awesome. I love it. I mean I love it. That's totally From frozen frozen to y'all. I'm super manly Snowflake right there. Well, I didn't think any snowflake was manly. I was just Trying to do something different. I don't know now. I feel weird about it. Thanks You guys aren't yet subscribed hit that subscribe button take that bell because we do this every week Well, not snowflakes Something we do it builder make it every week and we'll see you next week. Oh You want to watch something? You're still here watch that one This one might be too much for you


In an expression like square root of x, we require the radicand to be non-negative. This means our rules for working with the square roots of real numbers also apply to working with the square roots of variable expressions. And one particularly important one is that for a and b greater than or equal to zero, the square root of a times the square root of b is equal to the square root of ab. Or the product of square roots is the square root of the product. And conversely, the square root of a product is the product of the square roots. Let's multiply and simplify this horrible mess. Now, we might begin by noticing that since we have a square root of 2x, we know that x itself must be non-negative. And so we can simplify. We can rearrange the factors. So let's put all of the things outside the square root together, the 3 and the 5, and let's put the square roots together. Square root of 2x, square root of 6x. And we know how to multiply 3 by 5, so let's go ahead and do that. So remember that as long as our radicands are non-negative, the product of square roots is the square root of the product. So square root 2x times square root 6x is the same as the square root of 2x times 6x, which simplifies, and let's see if we can simplify. So we'll try to factor 12x squared by isolating perfect square factors. So 12 is 4 times leftover 3, and x squared is a perfect square. The square root of a product is the product of the square roots. So we can rewrite this product. And since we started with a square root of x, we require that x be non-negative. And so we can say that square root of x squared is just equal to x. So square root of 4, that's 2. Square root of x squared is just x, and square root of 3 we're stuck with. And finally we'll do a last bit of simplification and multiply out the coefficients. How about something more complicated? Well again, since we have a square root of 12x cubed, the radicand 12x cubed must be non-negative. And remember, if n is odd, then x to the power n has the same sign as x, and x has the same sign as x to the n. Since we need 12x cubed to be non-negative, this means that x must be non-negative. And so we can simplify. We'll rearrange our factors. Let's multiply this 5 times 3 outside the radical. Now we can simplify before or after we multiply, but it might be easier to simplify first so that we're dealing with smaller things. So let's simplify our radicals first. Square root of 12x cubed will factor that by removing perfect square factors. Since x must be non-negative, we can say that square root of x squared is equal to x. And we can simplify our square roots. Square root of 2x to the seventh will simplify that by removing perfect square factors. Again, since x must be non-negative, we know that the square root of x squared is just x. So we can simplify all of the square roots of x squared. And since we have three factors of x, we'll just write that as x to the power 3. We'll rearrange our factors so all of the coefficients are multiplied together, and our square roots will be multiplied together. The product of square roots is the square root of the product. We'll multiply our coefficients together. And we can go one step further. This square root of 6x squared, well that's a perfect square, x squared times 6. And the square root of a product is the product of the square roots. Now since we know that x must be non-negative, so the square root of x squared is just x. And so we can simplify one step further. And finally we have a couple of factors outside the radical that we can multiply together to get our final simplified answer. And one more example. We can take this product of square roots, rearrange our factors. The product of square roots is the square root of a product. We can simplify the inside, find perfect square factors. And here we've assumed that all of our variables are non-negative. And because we've made that assumption, then the square root of x to power 10 can be reduced to x to power 5. And putting everything together gives us our final answer.
