Now you guys are going to love this one. Would you have walked by the Power Ranger or would you have picked it up? Hey, Bolo buddies, thanks for watching. Amazing, right? All right, let's get started. Hey, Bolo buddies, thanks for watching. All right, in this video, I'm going to talk to you about 29 bread and butter Bolo's items that I sold on eBay that I picked up at thrift stores, garage sales, estate sales, YouTube auctions, and we'll see where else. I'm going to tell you where I got it, what I paid for it, and what it sold for. These are items that I sourced cheap and sold for a profit. So let's get started. All right, so the first item I sold is this vintage belt buckle. It is a horse belt buckle. It's silver plate cowgirl cowboy western. It's a western buckle. I got this at a thrift store. I did pay up a little bit for this. For me, it's paying up. I paid $5 for this and I sold it for $22.20 plus shipping. I usually typically source very cheap. So $5 is paying up. This is a Disney Pixar Plains Chug Fuel Truck Dicast Fire and Rescue Toy. This came out of a thrift store mystery box and I decided to sell it separately because it's a little bit harder to find. Is it big money? No, but I probably flipped $0.50 into $9. I took a best offer of $9 plus shipping on this. And on the bottom, the toy will be marked with additional information. This here, VTech Go-Go Smart Wheels. A lot of times we'll lot these up. I have a huge lot. I don't know how many, but it's a pretty big lot. I maybe should have parted it out because it's kind of sitting. And I expected it to do better. So maybe parting them out is the way to go. But who knows if I'll ever get to that. So I'm just waiting on the right buyer to come along for that. Somebody who needs a whole bunch for their kid. This came out of a Dibble Box that I purchased from Donatella Bottolino's YouTube Auction. It was a toy box and this little ship, it's a rocket ship. Go-Go Smart Wheels, you push it and it has lights and sound. I sold this for $8.14 plus shipping and it sold pretty quick. Here's a side view of it. I'm sure you guys see these at garage sales all the time. You can pick them up super cheap, usually for like a quarter. So yeah, you can flip them. Usually they're more long tail. This one sold quick for some reason. I have no idea why. This is a vintage Lottie doll. It's like a paper doll, but it's not really paper. It's like felt or something. It was a random item at a thrift store, or I'm sorry, at a garage sale. And I think they were charging, let me see here, check my notes, a dollar each. Was it a great buy? I don't know. I mean, I sold it. I made a profit. I sold it for $15 on Best Offer. The buyer was all in for $23.65. I did buy some other ones. I don't think people are going to be knocking down my door to buy these fast, but I do think they will sell eventually. And I do have more of those listed. This is a vintage Fisher Price Little People Farm Animals, super fun little nostalgic item that people look for. Maybe they played with it when they were a kid and they want to buy it for their kids. I don't know, but these tend to do pretty good. This one came out of a thrift store mystery toy box, and I took a Best Offer of $32 plus shipping. This little Kermit is like this big. He is just a little guy, and here he is beside the tape measure. So he's not, he's just above two inches. Cake topper is a good thing to put in the title. This is probably another thing that you guys probably will not pick up because it is a major bread and butter. But sometimes I just am in the mood to list smalls, and I just do it. And if I'm looking the item up to see how it comps, I've already done the work and it's really easy to just hit sell similar and list it real quick. So I do that from time to time. $5.84 plus shipping on this little guy. Okay, so these are the vintage Fisher Price Little People Play Family Schoolhouse Letters and Numbers. So they actually fit into a little tray that fits into the house. How do I know that? I know that because I found the house at the Goodwill Benz and I bought the whole house and the house was damaged and I parted it out. So these numbers and letters sold super fast for, let me see, $10.95 plus shipping. I had to see if I took a best offer. So those came from the Goodwill Benz. This little safari limited ocean figure. I do pick up safari toys. They are marked safari. Some of them do better than others.   And that came out of a mystery box, a toy box from Auctions for You YouTube channel. The next item is this vintage belt. It's like a scalloped snake fish scales belt. It's gold tone. It's kind of crazy. I got this at an estate sale for a buck and I sold this for $13 plus shipping. This next item are these vintage 1980s ET Puffy stickers. Incomplete. This was from that amazing sticker haul that I got at a garage sale. Still selling items out of that. Just an amazing find. I think I've got the unboxing over on my sourcing with Bolo Buddies channel. If you want to see what else I found, some of those sticker sheets I have sold for $50 and up. This one sold for $13 plus shipping. This is a Marks Geronimo Indian action figure. He is loose. He's not perfect. You can see he's got some paint loss, but he is one cool guy. I sold him for $20 plus shipping and I got him at a garage sale for three bucks. This next item is a vintage Valentine Fun Barbie from 1997. I do pick up pink box Barbies from the 90s. So most of the pink boxes I think are from the 90s. Don't quote me on that. I paid $3 for this. Is this going to be a big money Bolo? No. But is somebody going to be looking for it? Quite possibly. I sold this for $18 plus shipping. I did take a best offer and I've got $3 in that from a garage sale. This little cutie came from a mystery plush lot that I got from Donna Telebotilino's YouTube channel. But there's a twist to this one. This bundle of plush was gifted to me from Noelle Farm Girl Scavenger. That is her YouTube channel. Definitely check her out. And Donna was doing plush bundles, a big ball of plush for $50 free shipping. And Noelle was in her chat and told Donna to send it to me as a gift. So Noelle and I did a video unboxing of that. So you can check that out on my channel and definitely check out Donna Telebotilino and Noelle Farm Girl Scavenger. If you're looking for inventory, Donna has great stuff. And Noelle has a reseller channel that is full of information. She is a Bolo Finder for sure. So this little guy, I ended up selling for $10.95 plus shipping. He is a gunned Bailey bear and he has this cute little curly fur and he sold pretty quick. This is a vintage 1987 Kansas City Plaza Lights ceremony book. It is a Christmas ornament. If you guys have been around my channel for a while, you know that I pick these up every time I see them. You can usually get them super cheap at garage sales and thrift stores. And some of them can go for 20, 25 bucks. They are a nice bread and butter Bolo and they always seem to sell. Now, some sell quickly, some are long tail, but they always sell for me. I love these. Got it at a garage sale for a quarter and I sold this for $15 plus shipping. The next item here is this automobile magazine. And I sold this for $16.42. I did have free shipping on these. I have a whole bunch of these listed. I got them at a garage sale. I bought a whole box full. They are long tail. And when I say long tail, they are long tail. But they are selling and I'm making a good profit on them. And it's something different for my store to bring in different buyers. And I've sold some of these internationally. So I've had a repeat customer for these. So would I pick it up again? I don't know. I mean, it took me a lot of time to part them out. I did each one individually, but it was kind of a test run to see if it was something that I was interested in doing. But look these things up. Some of them go for more. Primetime Treasure Hunter over on his YouTube channel, he buys things like this, magazines and stuff. And he puts them in big lots and he sells them for really good money. So check him out if you haven't. Primetime Treasure Hunter, awesome channel, great person. And let's move on to the next one. Okay. I don't know if you guys know about Magic Tracks, but they are, it's like this track. And I would not pick up the track to sell it, but this little dyno, I saw it in the Goodwill Benz and I didn't know immediately that it went to that, but when I looked it up, I was like, oh, I've seen Magic Tracks. I know what those are. And you like link them together. But anyway, this is a dinosaur. This is a major, major, major bread and butter. Would I recommend picking it up? No, not if you only want to make a couple bucks, but I got it at the Benz. It was probably 50 cents or so. And I sold it for $5.84 plus shipping. So let me know in the comments, do you waste your time on items that cost $10 or less? I don't typically, but sometimes I'm like, I'm just going to list it. Let's see if I can sell it. All right. We've got these Wade figures. I do pick these up. I don't know why. I just find them and I'm drawn to them. I think they're super cute. Most of them are bread and butter and I just put them in small lots, but they typically sell. So I will pick them up. They are marked. Let me see if I can find the marking here for you. They say Wade right here. Wade England, I think. Yeah, England. Let me see. Clearly marked. And I sold these for $0.20 plus shipping. I don't know where I got them. I pick them up at garage sales, estate sales, wherever I find them. And this one, I didn't write it down. So I apologize. This is a glass beaded bunny Easter stretch bracelet. I think this is called lamp work, but don't quote me on that. If you are a jewelry expert, let me know in the comments. But I sold two of these and these came out of my bulk buy. I bought it on eBay to sell on eBay. I bought 300 pounds of jewelry. I've got the whole story on that on this channel. The videos go way back. I wanted to do jewelry unboxings. And I did a whole bunch. So you can check those out. But again, it's probably a year and a half, two years ago. So this did take a little while to sell. I had two of them. The first one sold quicker. But I sold this for $14.80 plus shipping. These items, what's great about jewelry is it doesn't take up much space. What I find though, is that jewelry is small. So I have a tendency to put it to the side and list bigger items first because jewelry doesn't take up much space. And then I never get it listed. So I have a horde of jewelry. I just buy it whenever I see it. I love to buy it. I just don't, I'm not real consistent with listing it. All right, this one right here came out of a thrift store Christmas mystery box. It is a vintage 2000 how the Grinch stole Christmas Cindy Lou who plush doll seven inch with tag sold her for $12.58 plus shipping. Oh, no way. I'm sorry. I was on the wrong line. $14.80 plus shipping. And I actually got her at a garage sale for a dollar. I was looking at the wrong one. I apologize. This one came out of a thrift store toy box. And this one sold for $12.58 plus shipping. So these are the 1986 vintage Fisher price. They're from 2500 Main Street lot. I think it's a play set. And these are just the little traffic lights and signs. This came from the Goodwill Benz. It is the Husky Helper blue race car. And there were others listed. I don't know why mine sold quickly, but it sold quickly. Maybe I had it priced on the lower end. I'm typically on the high end of comps. But I wasn't real sure about this one. So I think I priced it more competitively. Sold it for $11.10 plus shipping. Or I had it promoted and maybe it was at the top. And maybe somebody just grabbed it. Not sure. This is another Barbie. This is Winter Dazzle Barbie from 1997. She is a General Mills Barbie new in the box. Got her at a garage sale for $3. And I sold her for $25.89 plus shipping. She did take a while to sell. But I mean $3.25. I love that. This is a vintage Horton Mesh trucker hat. And I ended up taking a low offer on this. I took $15 for it. It had been sitting in my store for a little while. It just wasn't moving. I thought maybe it was going to be a good one. It's made in the USA. It's vintage. But I don't know. Just didn't move. So $15 is what I sold it for. And I probably got that at a garage sale for $0.50. A buck. This was a really long tail item also. It's a necklace and earring set. Green, silver 925. I'm guessing I could have had some better key words in the title. Just I don't know. It took a long time. They were marked 925 here on the class. But I always include photos of that if they are marked. Ended up selling this for a best offer of $23 plus shipping. And again if I would have known what this green stone was that would have been something good I could put in title instead of just green. But it sold and I made a nice profit. So that one came. I don't know where I got that one. I think it was a garage sale. Now you guys are going to love this one. Would you have walked by the Power Ranger or would you have picked it up? I feel like some of you would have passed this by. But let me tell you these little Power Ranger super mega force keys can be a bolo for sure. This came out of a mystery toy box that I got from auctions for you. And the entire unboxing is on this channel. If you want to check that out. This little key let me show you what they look like when you pop it open right here. Turns into a key. So I guess it goes to something. I'm not 100% sure. But I have sold these on several occasions. This one sold for $22 plus shipping. The buyer was all in for $29.59 on this. I used Google Lens to figure out which character it is. Like this is Red Black Quantum Ranger. I didn't know that. I had to use Google Lens. And Google Lens is free. You can download it to your phone. I highly recommend it. I use it all the time. I use it when I'm at garage sales to identify items. This little guy got it a garage sale for a buck. He is a vintage 1984 Emotions Bernstein Bears plush. Frog in pocket. Super cute item. I got this for a dollar at a garage sale. And I sold him for $14.80. And the buyer was all in for $24.20. The next item is another Power Ranger Super Megaforce Red Ranger key. It is loose. No packaging. Also came out of that Auctions For You $100 mystery toy box that I bought. And I sold this for $14.80 plus shipping. Now this one was a little loose and didn't close super tight. So I sold it for a little less. The next item is this little Unicorn Kitty plush. And just a funny little toy. You know what? I didn't write anything down. I think that's the one where it got canceled. So let's disregard that one. I think it's real listed. Okay. Octopod Octanauts. If you see Octanauts, they are collectible. If you can get the entire play set and all the figures, you are in looking at a big money Bolo. I like to part them out. I got, I have even parted out the actual play set. I bought one that was incomplete and I sold the pods, the slide, the trunk. I think I have a video over on my reseller testing Bolo products of how I parted that out. Reseller testing Bolo products and sourcing with Bolo buddies. And I have those linked down below if you want to check out the videos on those channels. This guy came from a garage sale 50 cents and I sold him for $12. Buyer was all in for 1860 with tax and shipping. These came from a garage sale. I had 50 cents in these. They are cracker jack toys. They are little clowns. They are tin and they are super cute. Let me show you here how big they are. Just a little metal tin toy. That's what they look like. Is that crazy or what? I'm like, I'm going to take a chance on these 50 cents. I can sell this. I sold these for $30 plus shipping. Pretty crazy what things sell for. All right. Let me know in the comments what was your favorite item that you would have walked past that you will now pick up. Thank you for being here. My name is Courtney and I teach about Bolo items. Items to be on the lookout for. This was a bread and butter video. I have big money videos. I feature other sellers. I feature featured members. I do category videos where I take a category and I break it down for you guys and show you the big money Bolo's tons of Bolo content over here on the channel. So if you're new here, I would love for you to check out another video. They're going to be popping up a couple here and here. A subscribe and another video down here. Subscribe. Thank you for being here. If you're new here, tell me how you found the channel. And if you've been here a long time, thank you. Thank you to all my viewers. I appreciate you guys so much. The channel is growing and I just can't even believe it sometimes. I started this like on a whim. I don't even know. I didn't even really watch YouTube. So just it's just been amazing. It's been an amazing adventure and I love it. And I'm super excited to help everyone learn as I learn. So thanks for watching.


how do you calculate volume? Ok so the general expression what we derived in the earlier class was T equal to C A naught integral 0 to X A d X A by minus R A ya for constant system otherwise it is 1 plus ya so that V equal to V naught I think that also we discussed later so this is the general expression if it is constant volume then epsilon equal to 0 Ok so that is why this becomes 1 and this becomes simply minus R A so then here we do not have specifically volume coming out from the rate I mean the design expression whereas if you derive later because you know already that is why I am telling so you already seen that for mixed flow reactor and plug flow reactor you get volume as V by F A naught equal to right so for similarity I will also write this one as T by C A naught equal to 0 to X A d X A by minus R A general I think you know for constant systems let us say right so T by C A naught this is the general expression for a batch reactor which you are supposed to remember all the time Ok but what we have been thinking was that this T or this equation does not contain volume but finally we have to design the volume of the batch reactor how do you calculate volume what do you know before starting all this reactor design so do you have any information you just remember that our diagram production means your F A naught suppose to be if it is a flow rate Ok but here there is no flow but still you know what is the production rate Ok you know what is the production rate let me tell you just I think for simplicity I have to produce production rate I have to produce 24 tons per day right so how could I have divided you know I would have calculated per year how much I have to produce then per day I calculated I got 24 tons per day and 24 I have taken because easy for calculations right yeah but my this design expression will not tell me what is the volume required to produce 24 tons per day how do I calculate what is the volume of the reactor from this information 24 tons per day and time C A naught I know Ok that area under the curve I will this area under the curve I will evaluate and then find what is T yeah that is what I did no amount of from conversion let us say for 90 percent conversion if I take a 99 percent conversion this equation gives me only time correct no that area under the curve when I take I have to take a 99 percent conversion 95 percent conversion or so whatever because you know that from 95 to 99 Ok let me also draw that this is general shape only we have general shape only I am just drawing so normally you will get most of the time like this and here you see why it is typically increasing what is R A at X equal to 1 at 100 percent conversion what is R mathematically 0 but what is this coordinate 1 by 25 to infinity we have to go to infinity and now just imagine before that it is not 1 0.99999 then you are very close to infinity right so that is why if you know come back a little bit slowly down this way then you know that lot of area increase will be there in this region whereas here I will not have that much increase that is where the economics in designing the reactor will come because I may go to 99.499999 Ok I need very very large volume when compared to 99.992 9s there will be tremendous difference between these two so that means only to produce 0.09 Ok 0.994 9s only I have taken 2 9s now but then you will have 0.001 so to produce that small amount then I have to go for very big volume no engineer will do like that are you able to follow me or are you able to follow me know because 0.99999 0.999 every time when you are moving 1 decimal your volume also not 10 times increasing it is sometimes 100 times increasing because it is very steep very steep going to infinity Ok here and theoretically speaking when 0.99999 if you put 109 then you get infinity again my same thing if you have infinite volume you cannot operate the reactor because entire universe is only one reactor your reactor so that is the reason why always you have to design whether you have to decide what is the economically viable volume or conversion conversion only gives you that volume right so that means you have to decide Ok now 99 percent is fine with me conversion right so that is why conversion is always coming there so I am now taking till here let us say Ok that may be 0.99 or may be 0.98 right as engineers you have to find out which is the viable one Ok so this is XA final so knowing this information let me say that Ok I will also give you this area under the curve T by CA0 and even if I take I know CA some value so the T is let us say 7 hours now you tell me how do I calculate that means to produce I do not know how much amount now because batch will not tell you what is the amount you have to produce whether you take 1 kilo 1 ton 100 tons time is same that is the beauty with this reactor but now you have to find out what is the volume depending on production production rate Ok can you guess you have to also try to imagine may be wrong imagination also no problem for us you should be able to imagine and then tell us that sir this is what I am thinking if it is wrong I will tell you if it is right now I will appreciate you even if you tell wrong I do not scold you Ok with the time Ok what do I get when I multiply 7 into 24 24 into 7 times 24 into 7 24 by 24 by 24 into 7 hours I have to take into account that is why we say that this is what is called TRX that is only reaction time see the total batch time T batch will be TRXN reaction time plus see you have to first charge when you are first you know starting the reaction right that charging time then after the reaction you have discharging time and again sometimes you may have to clean so cleaning time all those timings also will come into picture you know particularly biochemical reactions they use sterilization time otherwise next micro algorithms may die Ok and I told you batch reactors we choose because we also have that flexibility in products so the earlier products may contaminate my the present batch so that is why I have to clean it there so all those timings will come into picture that is T what you call you know not cleaning first one what you said loading charging Ok CH and also you have T discharge DCH plus T cleaning anything else generally these things Ok all the timings should be known to us but here we can have some kind of optimization if your operators are very good very efficient people then probably this all these things will be in 1 hour you can finish Ok or if there are very very lazy people then it may take 2 hours so Ok so because if you do not have particularly automation and all that if you have automation then you are replacing humans with missions missions are always you know efficient when compared to humans Ok so I mean in doing general work Ok day to day work but when you want to use brain humans are the greatest Ok so that is there so all this is 1 hour and this is 7 hours so now I have total batch time 8 hours Ok so now what we do is I have to now produce 24 tons per day but I have now 8 hours per batch Ok yeah how many batches we can now take 3 batches Ok so now when I have 3 batches Ok so in this case 3 batches number of batches number of 3 so now per batch how many tons per batch we have now 24 by 3 tons per day so sorry no no 3 batches and each batch will have 8 tons this is tons only 8 tons Ok now how do I put is I mean how do I now calculate the volume yeah you know the density of the reaction mixture Ok so when you have that density of reaction mixture 8 tons let us say water you now tell me what is the what is the volume I have exactly like water like reaction mixture 8 meter cube because 1 ton per yeah 1 meter cube 1000 kgs you know 1000 kg per meter cube right so that means 1 ton per meter cube so I have to have now 8 meter cube to volume and our problem is not at water this 8 meter cube 8 meter cube to volume I have how do I now put that one as a physical reactor that means you should have some diameter and some length yeah that comes later but how do I put this what is the shape because if I am a crazy fellow I can take 1 nanometer and length because 8 meter cube I can put anyway now you can calculate what is the length I think it goes to mars or may be jupiter or beyond that that is not engineering Ok we know that then what is the what else I can take diameter of the earth and then calculate height what will be the height 0 so again where do you put where do you put so what is logical now engineering logical what is the rule L by D equal to what 1 L by D equal to 1 1 Janami please something 0.75 1 1 2 Ok L by D I am asking L by D because L by D you have to fix 2 x things I told you can take 0 1 nanometer almost 0 on the length you can calculate not practical you can take diameter of the earth and then also calculate height the diameter of the earth is equivalent to your tank diameter Ok so then you can calculate height Ok that is also 0 so these 2 are not engineering solutions so what is engineering solution for fixing L by D he says 0.75 you say 2 why do you say 2 I will also ask him she says 2 just says 1 you can never have that kind of thing you know because surface area per unit volume only sphere has minimum so all our reactors are should not be our reactors are cylindrical as the non-ideality increases what non-ideality are dead zones so what what will happen why conversion changes if dead zones are there some portion of the reactor how do you avoid that stirring so now fluid mechanics again will tell you generally for L by D equal to 1 you have good mixing see when you have this tank so when you put this kind of thing L by D equal to approximately 1 1 stirrer is enough and when you go to L by D equal to 2 then you know sometimes you also should have seen like this right so general number will be is for each L by D you need one type of blade you know normally you have so many things you have propeller type stirrers you have turbine type stirrers yanker type stirrers all these things are there so we know approximately we know all these things L by D equal to 1 will give me good mixing that means in this case I should see everywhere uniform concentration and temperature even if I take L by D equal to 2 many times you will take L by D equal to 2 okay you know you would have seen batch reactors but it is not L by D equal to 1 most of the time it is L by D equal to 2 many times 3 rarely that means you know stirring is not that efficient but L by D equal to 1.5 also is common but criteria is that this L by D should be such that your mixing should not be sacrificed mixing should be perfect that is the engineering rule okay so now I think I am able to make you know some clarity where you have to remember these simple things they are not complicated we are not really discussing that kind of complicated where we will get noble prize no one will give us noble prize for is you know when you take L by D equal to 1 okay but we should know why we are taking L by D equal to 1 right so if someone asks okay I think why did you say 0.75 the immediate sign the next most people can stand so just on practical case why standing I think standing depends on other structure where you know you put that legs and all that no cylinders only no cylinders most of the time you go for cylinders okay which size you go other than cylinders you tell me why again that is also engineering question why do you go most of the time for cylinders rather than spheres very difficult to duplicate very difficult to construct okay so that much again we do not want to spend our time and all that simple thing is take a big yeah like this yeah like this a sheet and then fold it put one thing here put another thing there not permanently because you have to charge and all that no so that is all that is very simple because as engineers we think as I told you in a simplest manner that is the reason why we have to oh my god okay so this is what so now you know how to calculate volume of the thing I will give you a problem maybe I will upload or maybe tomorrow I will give an a piece of paper and then distribute to you you solve that problem it is a very good problem but it is reversible reaction because now you know this R it can be either a reversible reaction or it can be reversible reaction with some orders or without order all kinds of complicated equations can come so that is why because you already exposed to the subject I will give you one problem tomorrow you solve and tell me the answer if you are not getting I will tell you the answer because on your own being I think you will really understand everything okay


So I've everyone into girl Kenzie here from late in sports guards, and I'm ripping a couple boxes here for Scott f We've got a 2022 tops chrome black baseball hobby a 2022 tops luminaries baseball Hobby and a 2022 panini at National Treasures collegiate football hobby box.

The first training regiment, Fort Dix, New Jersey, this is a big moment. The final day of basic training. The weeks of adjustment to Army life are over. Other challenges to be sure lie ahead. Perhaps even bigger ones. But this is graduation day. And for the members of Company E, as it is with all men who have successfully met the demands of maturity, it is a day of accomplishment. A day, if you will, of pride. Let me present the big picture. An official report produced for the armed forces and the American people. In the minds and hearts of the 200 men of Company E, as in every training company on its final day of basic, emotions of many kinds are today crowding each other for recognition. Here is one of the graduates, Ed Baker, recruit Edward Doolittle Baker, for him as for all the others, the last eight weeks have gone by quickly. Eight weeks? Is that possible? Was it really only two months ago? Indeed it was. You may think it was a red-letter day in the Army's history when they got you, Baker, but you've got to admit you were a pretty sad apple. And those first few days in the reception center didn't seem to you to offer much improvement. For the recruit, those first days are the most bewildering. As he moves from line to line, getting inoculated against diseases he has never worried about before, clothed in the uniform that will identify him from this day on, oriented, indoctrinated, processed. He acquires a new identity, but not a completely new one. When he comes into the Army, a man is, after all, the product of the years which lie behind him. His education, his experience, the basic skills he has lived and worked with. It is to both his advantage and the Army's that the Army find out as much about him as possible so that he can eventually serve in the most efficient way. But for every man who enters the Army, whatever his eventual service is to be, there must first come eight weeks of basic soldier training in a training company. And here, too, there are a few shocks to the recruit's system, a few new facts which at first he might find hard to assimilate. Stand-at-ease, I am Lieutenant Iset, your company commander. I want to welcome you to Company E, First Training Regiment. This will be your home for the next eight weeks. Home, the man said. Home was never like this, was it? The alarm clock never went off at 5.30. But now, the day starts when days should start. Should start? Where do you get this should start bit? Personally, I don't have anything against hearing an alarm go off at, well, say, 7.30 or so. That's a good solid recruit-type point of view, Baker. You think breakfast comes early in this new home, huh? It comes early, all right. But that's not all. You have to work for it, too. Pull-ups yet, before you can get in the mess hall. There was a time I wouldn't have believed I could eat breakfast at this hour. But then, there were lots of things I didn't realize I could do. Of course there were. In soldiering, as in everything else, everyone finds that things come harder at the beginning. And because so much is expected, most men respond to the challenge and try to do their best. That's the fastest way to make the adjustment. And certainly, adjustment is necessary, for the army is, after all, a completely new way of life. There is a quality which pervades those first days which no man who has been through it can ever forget. It is a kind of loneliness, but a special kind, reserved for the individual who suddenly finds himself part of an overwhelming organization, which is built not only on regulation and discipline, but on tradition, too, and an abiding pride in its past. He of rifle is against machine guns in the gloom. Bush till this one of twenty riflemen is doomed. Ball and Georgia in the Solomon ends a simple wooden cross alone to tell. That beneath a man, remember, keeps a man, is as loudly sung. The story of Private Roger Young Passes soon enough. The training schedule takes care of that. Everything is new. And to the recruit, everything seems to come at him fast. And none of it, or very little of it, comes easy. Generally, the trainee is so busy that he doesn't have much time to think about himself. You think about yourself all right when you find you've goofed. Oh, but sir, I'd like to explain about...  Well, it's a tough life, Baker. Yeah, it's tough all right, but nobody pretends it isn't. The commanding general himself warned us it would be. That first week when he said... I wish to welcome you men to this new phase of your life. And in welcoming you, I want to tell you a little bit about the kind of training you will receive while here. This is an infantry training center. The training you will receive will be tough and rugged. It will tax you and demand the best that you can give. It is not intended to be soft, slip-shod, or easy. The reason for this is fundamental.  Such training to be successful has to be tough. We are counting on you, as indeed your nation is, to respond to it in the way Americans have always responded when called upon. It's not just the physical things that are tough. Your mind and your emotions get a good workout, too, until you're able to accept the way things are done in this new life. You're so right. Remember that session you had with the company commander the second week of training? How could I forget it? You had a problem, didn't you? Well, it didn't seem like much of a problem to me, but everyone else thought it was, so I took it to the CO. I wanted to get a weekend pass. But hadn't it been explained to you that you couldn't get a pass until the end of your fourth week, except in an emergency? Sure it had, but, well, this was an emergency. As I explained to Lieutenant Izet, I'd had tickets for one of the big shows in New York for a couple of months, and I'd been counting on taking my girl. It was her birthday. So far as I was concerned, it was a real emergency, and the rules that were blocking it were nothing that reasonable men couldn't solve together. Lieutenant Izet was fair enough if you can consider any man fair while he's turning you down. He explained that there were rules and that exceptions couldn't be made for one man, and that important as my reason may be to me, it didn't quite classify as an emergency as far as the Army was concerned. Well, I can't say I liked it very much, and I guess my face showed that I didn't. Let me give you a little advice, Baker. This is your first setback in the Army. Don't let it throw you. It won't make your job or ours any easier, and it may make it tougher. Yes, sir. What did you do in civilian life, Baker? I just got out of school, sir. I had an offer of a good job and when I was planning on being married in a few months. It's still a little hard to get used to the idea. There's been a change in those plans, isn't it? Well, yes, sir, a little. You don't resent having to come into the Army, do you? Resent it? Oh, no, sir. Only you. Only what? Well, sir, it's, well, it's just that, oh, we're not at war or anything, and well, it's a little difficult to understand. And it's hard to understand why your life has to be conducted as if we were at war. Is that it? Yes, sir, something like that. Baker, do you have a very clear idea of why we're not at war? Well, let me tell you why we're not. We're not at war because you and several thousand men like you go into the service every year and train just as if they're worry war. If we weren't a strong nation, it's anybody's guess what would have happened to us before now. And the only way we can remain a strong nation is to have a fighting team that's ready to go, anywhere, anytime. That's why you're in instead of back with your job. You're training for a war we hope will never have to fight. And the only real hope we have that will never have to fight it is for you to soldier with everything you've got. That's why you're not going to be able to get that pass until the proper time. Does it make sense now? Well, yes, a little anyway, sir. Good. You're going to learn a lot about yourself in these next few weeks, Baker. You'll discover things you'll never dream were in you. Apply yourself as best you can and watch what happens. Yes, sir. Well, I watched. And I felt lots of things happen. For Baker and the men with him, the days were filled with many new experiences. Training in the things and infantrymen, any soldier has to be able to do. They learned one of the first things a soldier on the battlefield has to know, how to locate targets quickly and identify them. However well-comouflaged those targets might be. They learned the paramount lesson, how to use their weapons. Firing the rifle is one of the oldest exercises in the army. But now, the method of learning how to fire it is one of the newest training techniques. For years, soldiers learned how to shoot by firing at a fixed target a known distance away. But studies of performance and actual combat showed that a new way of learning was needed. Baker's group was among the first to learn under the new technique, which is called train fire. This technique is based on the idea that in combat, a soldier doesn't know where his target is going to be or when he'll see it. Targets pop up anywhere and they're hard to spot. Training in this new technique goes on through the whole training cycle on a lot of different ranges, representing all kinds of combat conditions. The soldier gets the feel of the rifle and he develops a sharpness in spotting targets. He learns to be fast, but just as important, he learns to be alert. Baker and his fellow soldiers found that about midway in the cycle, the trainee begins to feel that he is out of the knack of a lot of things. Well it's still tough, but it's coming easier and now you know you're going to make it. But there's something even more important. Like any man in any job, the soldier begins to feel a sense of accomplishment, something close to personal pride, when he does what he has to do as well as he can. Along with his aching muscles, he is suddenly aware of newly acquired skills in things he has never done before. There's another thing too. By this time he has made friends, associations that are going to be important to him for a long time. There's something about being in the army together, doing the same things together, making the same adjustments that gives a special meaning to friendship. He gets a new perspective on the other parts of his life too. That's true, you do. For instance, you get a kind of thrill out of coming home in uniform on that first weekend pass at the end of four weeks. The folks didn't think I looked any the worse for wear. In fact, they seemed to think that army life was agreeing with me. Mother confessed that she had been a little worried about whether I was being taken care of properly. She was kind of concerned about the sergeants at camp, were they really as tough as everyone said? Well, I assured her that all the sergeants I knew were really sort of a motherly type. Dad was interested in exactly what kind of training we were getting. By this time I had the training schedule down by heart, hour by hour. One aspect of training that particularly interests parents is the training and character guidance which soldiers get all through the cycle. The army's position on this is simple. A man's character has already been formed, at home, at church, in school, and so forth, before he ever comes into the army. But the army accepts the obligation of carrying on the guidance of that character so that the individual will keep on developing a moral and spiritual toughness that will enable him to handle whatever problems he has to confront. Both of Baker's parents were interested in what would happen when he finished basic training. His mother hoped he would go to electronics school. She thought that sounded like an excellent way for him or for anyone else to get some valuable technical training in the army. And indeed, Mrs. Baker is right. Today's modern army relies heavily on electronics to give it its margin of superiority over its potential enemies. And the training in electronics which soldier technicians get is just about the finest in the world. Baker's father also was aware of the advantages of technical training. But like many another veteran who served in World War II, he was aware too of the advantages of continued infantry training, which is in a very real sense, training for manhood. Anne, that's my girl, had a few questions of her own. All this training stuff was important, sure. But she wanted to get down to the basic facts, like what kind of social life was I having at camp? I explained to her that it was pretty wild. One big string of parties hardly had any time at all for training. That's what she had been halfway suspecting anyway. So I suggested that she come out and find out for herself. There was going to be a dance at the service club the next weekend. Well, could she make it? Could she? Well, what do you think? The folks came out with Anne. They were part of the 15,000 visitors who come to the post each weekend. We ate by the lake, just as if we were at a resort. They were delighted with this recreation area, and so are all the other families who are able to spend part of their visit here. I took them on the Deluxe tour. They were impressed with everything they saw, and there's a lot to be impressed with. There is a lot to be impressed with. There are facilities to take care of just about every recreational need, and to provide just quiet relaxation. There are facilities to develop any interests the soldiers have. Baker's parents, like all the others who visit an army post, found in short that it's very much like a regular town. Only it's better equipped than most towns. Invariably, parents are pleased to see the consideration the spiritual life gets on an army post too. An impressive landmark on the main parade ground at Fort Dix is a statue that seems to dominate the entire post. This statue is called the ultimate weapon, and it symbolizes the army's belief that the man with his feet on the ground is still the only indispensable weapon in war. This concept of the combat soldier's indispensability in war comes through in force to the recruits in the final weeks of training. It gets tougher, but by now you realize that it all actually has a real point. While you're learning how to take care of yourself on the battlefield, you begin to understand how vitally important every individual man is in battle. You learn how to fight together, how to take care of each other, and that's just as important. For most of the time, you're only as good as your team. And through all of it, the recruit finally emerges with an understanding of what soldiering is all about. It's a way of life, a hard way in many respects, a different way, certainly, but a way with its own special rewards. It's a rare man who doesn't feel it and feel the pride that builds right along with it. The pride of service. You hear a lot about that in the army, and then one day it's not just a phrase anymore. It's something you begin to feel, you know? It's... well, let's face it. It gets to be a part of you, just as you're part of an organization that has 185 years of proud and honorable duty behind it, and which has a mission today as vital as any it's ever had. Coming to know all this is as important, I guess, as anything else you get in basic training. Well, it's all over now, recruit Baker.  A short eight weeks ago, you were green, timid, a little lonely, uncertain about your place in the new life which had abruptly replaced your old one. You remember what your company commander told you? You're going to learn a lot about yourself in these next few weeks, Baker. You'll discover things you never dream were in you. Apply yourself as best you can, and watch what happens. Touch food, hold! Receive awards are present. You did learn. You discovered as much about yourself as you did about your rifle. You came across reservoirs of strength which you had not tapped before. You discovered capacities and skills which had been lying dormant for years waiting to be exploited and developed. You found, as men have always found, sometimes in the pressures of battle, sometimes on the training fields of peace, sometimes to their surprise, always to their credit, that you had a talent for soldiering. It has been a self-discovery extensive enough to bring you honor. recruit Baker, I present this award to you for becoming the outstanding trainee of the cycle. In this marksmanship badge we're having achieved expert during range practice. Baker is a symbol. A symbol of what might happen, what can happen, what does happen to men in the course of basic training. Obviously, not every man in the company can emerge from basic training as the outstanding trainee of his cycle to receive his award from his battalion commander and take the salute of his fellows. But every man whose life is touched by his nation's need for him and who finds himself in the army in response to that need, every such man is changed at least to some degree. Every such man learns new things about himself, and he is richer for it, and his nation is also richer. Baker will carry his progress a step further. All these men on this final day of basic training now know what their next assignments will be. Some are going to electronic school and other technical training programs to develop and lend their technical proficiency to the complex might of the modern army. But even a modern army still needs its basic combat soldiers, and some of these men are going to continue infantry training like recruit Edward Doolittle Baker. How does that square with you, Baker? It's okay with me. It's been okay with a lot of other good men in their time, recruit Baker, and it always will be. For as long as man is the ultimate weapon in war, as he is the final hope of peace, no challenges can be greater and no rewards finer than those of leadership in the company of men.

Exercise Cutlass Express 2013 comes to a close in the East African region. Participants work through scenarios mirroring real-world operations while building maritime security, partnerships, and regional stability. This exercise brought together 13 nations across four locations. The benefit we had was getting everyone to work together and to see each other's best practices and to get to share information. So I think from a lessons learned perspective, getting the cooperation and the coordination across multiple sites, and getting the teams together down to the boarding crews, the captains, the ship's crew, and all the evaluators, and getting to share both professionally and personally after the exercise was amazing and I think it'll make the region stronger. As this year's exercise wraps up, next year's planning phase is just beginning. There's a lot of momentum coming out of this and I think probably in 2014 we'll see a more sophisticated, more dynamic scenario with probably a similar number of players, but challenging the boarding crews, challenging the team, challenging things to make sure that we exercise the full system across multiple locations again.

Live from Washington, D.C., it's theCUBE, covering AWS Public Sector Summit 2017, brought to you by Amazon Web Services and its partner ecosystem. Welcome back here to Washington, D.C. You're watching theCUBE live here at SiliconANGLE TV, the flagship broadcast of SiliconANGLE. We are at AWS Public Sector Summit 2017, wrapping up day one coverage here in the Walter Washington Conviction Center, along with John Furrier. We are now joined by our esteemed colleague, Jeff Frick, who's been alongside all day, handling all the machinations behind the scenes. Behind the scenes, Jeff. Doing an admirable job with that, Jeff. So what do you think, our first ever visit to your town? I love it. I love it, yeah. Since I think to have below it at the Opry. The Opry's the other big convention center here. Or Grace, not Grace, I mean. And her National Harbor. Same company. National Harbor. NGM. You're our DC guy. Gaylord. Gaylord, thank you. We're going to get some tickets for the nationals game tonight. We're going to go Nats game tonight. Strasburg pitched last night, did not pitch well, but who knows, maybe we'll get Geo tonight. Well, the action's certainly Amazon Web Services. Yeah, let's talk about what we had going on here today, Jeff. Well, I mean, look, we interviewed, you and I had some great interviews that Intel came on, which is obviously Bellwether in the tech business. Jeff, former Intel employee knows what it's like to march to the cadence of Moore's law and Intel's continuing to do well in platinum sponsor or diamond sponsor here at the event. Look at it. The chips are getting smarter and smarter. Security of the Silicon, powering 5G, a network transformation. A lot of the plumbing that's going on in cloud and in cars and devices and companies, it's going to all be connected. So it's connected, world we're living in, and Intel's going to be a key part of that. So they're highly interested and motivated by all the people that are popping up in the cloud. We were just talking, and Jeff, I know you're able to listen on the last interview that we did, but a point that you made, that you have a point that you raised about four years ago when the CIA deal came down and AWS is on one side and IBM's on the other and AWS wins that battle. You called it the shot heard around the cloud and that now four years later has turned out to be a hugely pivotal moment. Yeah, I mean, this is like moments in hot time history here. Again, document on the cube for the first time and I think any was written about this, but I'll just say it since we're going to be analyzing it. The shot heard around the cloud was 2013 when AWS public sector under Theresa Crawford's team and her leadership beat IBM for the central intelligence agency, CIA contract, guaranteed lock spec for IBM. See, Amazon comes out of the woodwork and wins it and they won it because essentially the sales motion and the power of IBM had this thing locked in. But at that time, the marketplace was booming what we called shadow IT where you can put your credit card down and go into Amazon cloud and get some instance. What happened was someone actually got a little prototype showed their boss and they said, I like that better than that. Let's do a bake off. So what happens at the last minute a new opportunity comes in and then they do what they call a bake off. Bake offs and the RFPs come in and they won. Went to court and the judge in the ruling actually said, Amazon has a better product. So they ruled in favor of Amazon web services. That was what I call the shot heard around the cloud. Since that point on, the cloud has become more legitimate every single day for not only startups, enterprises, as well as now public sector. So shot heard around the cloud fast forward to today. This show is on a trajectory to take on the pace of reinvent, which is their core Amazon web services show. And of course, which is why we're here, chronicalizing this is a moment in history. This is where we believe. Jeff, you and I talked about this and Dave Vellante and I talked about the research team. This is where the inflection point kicks up. This is a new growth pillar, unpredicted by Wall Street. New growth predictor for revenue for Amazon. They're already a cash machine. They're already looking like a hockey stick this way. You add on public sector, it's going to be phenomenal. So a lot of people aren't seeing it, but this is just growing like a weed. Well, Jeff, follow up on that. I was going to say, the two megatrends, John, we've talked about them time, time and time again and Teresa Carlson and team have done a terrific job here in the public sector. But I always go back to the James, Tuesday night with James Hamilton to reinvent. If you've never gone, you got to go. And he talks about just all these big iron infrastructure investments that Amazon continues to make because they have such scale behind them, whether it's in chips, whether it's in networking, whether it's in new fibers that they're running across the oceans, they can invest so much money to the benefit of their customers, whether it be security in all the areas of compute. That is fascinating to me. The other thing we always hear about cloud, right, is at some point it's cheaper to own rather than rent. And he just keep coming back to Netflix. Like at nighttime, I think Netflix owns whatever the number, 45% of all internet traffic in the evening is Netflix, whatever the number is. They're still on Amazon. So it's not necessarily better to rent than buy. You have to know what you're doing. And we were at another show the other day was Gannett, the newspaper company. When they're using a lot of servers, they use hundreds. But he said there are sometimes using AWS that they actually turn all the servers off. You cannot do that in a standard infrastructure world.  Which again, you got to manage it. You don't want that expensive bill. But to me, being able to leverage such scale to the benefit of every customer whether it's Netflix or startup, it's pretty tough. And this is the secret. And this is something that again, share with the CUBE audience here. It's not new to us, but we're going to re-amplify it because people make a mistake with the cloud. It's in one area. They don't match the business model to their variable cost expenses. If you get into the cloud business and you can actually ratchet your revenue coming in and then manage that cost delta, red line, black line, know where those lines are. As long as you're on the black and revenue and you then have the cost variable step up with your revenue, that is the magical formula. It's not that hard. It's back of an envelope. Right, right. You draw it. Red line costs, black line revenue. The other great story from, it was from Summit actually in San Francisco earlier this year at the keynote. They had Nextdoor. Everybody knows Nextdoor. It's the social media for your mom. My mom. They love it, right? People are losing dogs and looking for a plumber. But the guy talked about Nextdoor. Don't knock Nextdoor. I don't knock Nextdoor. The Nextdoor CEO gets up and he said, well, I laugh because the Nextdoor's mom didn't know what he did until he did Nextdoor. Anyway, he said, we have the entire production system for Nextdoor and then we would build production plus one on a completely separate group of hardware inside of Amazon. When that tested out and is ready to run, guess what? We just turn off the first one. You can't do that in an owned infrastructure world. You can't build in an N plus one, an N plus two and turn off N. We just can't do that. The few CEO, Josh, you should, everyone check out their name on YouTube.com slash SiliconANGLE. He was awesome. He basically, it's all throwaway infrastructure mindset. To your point about Nextdoor, you build it up and then you bring the new stuff in. You basically, for digitally throw it away. Right, right. That's the future. And this is the business model aspect. And public service sector, we were joking. Look it, let's just be honest with ourselves. It is a glacier, antiquated old systems, people trying hard, government servants, employees of the government, not appointees. They don't have a lot of budget. They're always under scrutiny for cost. So the cost benefits always there and they have old systems. So they want new systems. So the demand is there. The question is, can they pull it off? So talk about the government mindset or the shift, we've heard a little bit about that today about how, to the point you just made there, John, that very reluctant, some foot dragging going on, that's historical, that's what happens. But now, maybe the CIA deal, whatever it was, we hit that tipping point and all of a sudden the minds are opening and so people are embracing or being more engaging with new mousetraps, better ways to do things. Well, we've got the speakers coming on here so we should wrap it up real quick. Final thoughts, what they want. I'm just going to say, the other thing is that before there was so much fat, not only in government in general, but in infrastructure purchasing, because you had to, you better not run out of hardware at Q3 when you're running the numbers. So everything was so over provision, so much expense and over provisioning. With Amazon, you don't need to over provision. You can tap it when you need it and turn it off. So there's a huge amount of budget that should actually be released. Mike, I want to ask you guys, we'll wrap up here. Final thoughts, what is your impression of day one? I'll start here and you guys can have time to think of an answer. My takeaway for public sector is, Teresa Carlson has risen up as a Prime Executive for Amazon Web Services. She went from knock on doors eight years ago to full on blown growth strategy for Amazon and it's very clear, they're not there yet. They only have 10,000 people here so the conference isn't that massive but it's on its way to becoming massive. Here's their issue. They have to start getting the cadence of reinvent launches into the public sector and that's the big story here. They are quickly shortening the cycles between what they launch at Amazon reinvent and what they roll out of the public sector. The question is, how fast can they do that and that's what we're going to be watching and then the customer behavior is starting to procure. So you look green light for Amazon but they got to get those release cycles. Stuff gets released at Amazon reinvent, they got to roll in the government, shorten that down to almost zero, they're win. Yeah, my just quick impression is I like to look at the booth action because we've all had the booth duty, right? What's going on in the booth? The people that paid for a booth here feel like they got their money's worth and the traffic in the booths has been good. They've been 3D, 4D. So the people are here are curious, they're interested, they're spending time going booth to booth to booth and that's a very good sign of a healthy ecosystem. This is a learning conference. Absolutely. Your thoughts? I wouldn't say it's a red light by any means but it's like a caution light is it's about budgets. You know, I think when you're running government you're always, you are vulnerable to somebody else's budget decision. You know, whether it's Congress, whether it's the city council, whether it's the state legislature, whatever it is. So that's always just kind of a little hangup you have to deal with because you might have the best mouse trap in the world but somebody says, ah, you can't write that check this year. Maybe next year. Well, I got my- We're going to put our money somewhere. I got my Trump joke in. Yeah. And not enough have you heard it but my Trump joke is I'll say at the end of the day there's a lot of data lakes in DC and they've turned it to data swamps. So Amazon's here to drain the data swamp. He got it in. He's been practicing that all week. I've heard it three times. Are you kidding? The data swamps- Well, if you know our cube, you know we talk about data swamps.  Right. As everyone knows, I just hate that word. It's just not- Well, there is value, value in that. I don't know my grade.  For Jeff Frick, John Furrier, I'm John Walls. Thank you for joining us here at the AWS Public Sector Summit 2017. Back tomorrow with more coverage live here on the Cube.


Now we can solve some projectile motion problems with the information we know. Again, projectile motion is motion for which the acceleration is gravity, which means it's 9.8 meters per second downward, which gives me my two components of negative 9.8 for the y component and zero for the x component. It's like free fall, but motion in two dimensions. So that means I've got constant acceleration equations for the y direction. Where I can fill in my acceleration of minus 9.8. And I've got zero acceleration for the x direction. So that simplifies my equations just a little bit. For my strategy, I can use the same list that I was using when I was doing one-dimensional constant acceleration. I've got an x and a y components. And like free fall, I can immediately fill in my accelerations with the two values that I know for every projectile type problem. You could also use a simplified x side where you list only the relevant variables, the displacement, the velocity and x in the time. And we don't have to say initial and final velocity because it never changes. And we don't have to list the acceleration because it's not going to come into our equations. In that case, I would only use just the one equation that relates the displacement, the velocity and the time. But I still have a full list of five equations to use for the y side. So now we get to our example. In this example, we've got a water balloon that's being launched up from the ground and we know its speed and the angle that it's being launched at. And we want to know what height the water balloon hits a wall. Well, if I think about my knowns, that speed is the magnitude of the initial velocity. And my angle is known. And that 30 meters is the delta x. Because when we measure how far a wall is, we're measuring the horizontal distance. And the height that I'm measuring, that's the delta y. That's what I'm trying to solve for. Now we need to use trig on that initial velocity because we need the components. So you'll work this out using your normal trig relationships and you can double check these calculations for yourself. So we take our tables and we now fill in the known data. And I'm going ahead and using the full tables just so we can see all the information as it fills in there. You'll notice we have enough information on the x side to start solving over here because I've got my three values. So for my three values over here, I can use my equation for the horizontal displacement. Solve that for the time and fill in my known values. And I end up finding my time of 1.958 seconds. I like to keep a couple extra decimal points around as I'm solving my intermediate steps just so I don't get rounding errors. We can take that time now and transfer it to the y side. So if I got my list for quantities for the y side, now I've got three things and I can solve for my delta y. So I use my vertical displacement equation, fill in all the things I know now and end up finding that I've got 6.39 meters for the height above the ground that the water balloon hit. So that solves my original problem. But I could also ask what's the final speed that that water balloon hits the wall? So you'll notice with all my information filled in now, it's the final velocity components in x and y that I still have to find. Well, if I start with my horizontal final velocity, I find that it's exactly equal to the initial velocity because there is no acceleration. So that component is still 15.32 meters per second. For the vertical velocity, I have an acceleration, so I have to use my full equation here, plug in my initial velocity in the y direction and my acceleration and my time, and I find a negative 6.33 meters per second for the final velocity in the y direction. That means I'm going 6.33 meters per second downward, so the water balloon traveled up to its maximum height and was already on the way down when it hit the wall. To find the overall final speed, again, I need the magnitude of the final velocity. So if I plug those into my typical magnitude formula, squaring each of the components, being careful with my parentheses on the negative sign, I find that I had 16.6 meters per second for my final speed that it hit the wall. So that gives you an example of solving just one example of a projectile motion problem. You'll see lots of different ones where we're given different pieces of knowns and we're solving for different pieces of information.


Okay, so our Halle Berry Audible was very successful, so this week we are implementing more celebrity audibles. Now let's say you're reading Blitz and you want to change the play to a short pass. You're going to call out, Kevin Hart! Why Kevin Hart? Because he's short? Now let's say you need to throw a bomb. You're going to yell out, Nicholas Cage! Go watch his last 20 films. You'll figure it out. Let's say you want to run a pitch. Then you're going to call out, Kevin Costner! Because he was the pitcher in Vultura. I thought he was referencing for Love of the Game. No, he's talking about the rookie. That's Dennis Queen! It doesn't matter! It's Field of Dreams anyway.
