Grateful to have each and every one of you with us today. Grateful to have our presenting sponsors that allow us this wonderful opportunity to bring guests on thought-provoking conversations, national leaders, experts around the globe, and we could not do this without the continued support from these sponsors. Please do check them out, okay? These are amazing companies. They exist to help you do more good. They exist in your community and they exist to help you move your mission forward. So if you have not checked them out, make sure you spend some time today or this weekend doing just that and I think you will find great value in their service, their products, and their own missions. So Julia Patrick, thank you for creating this wonderful platform. Julia is the CEO of the American Nonprofit Academy. I'm Jarrett Ransom, Nonprofit Nerds CEO of the Raven Group and we are thrilled to have the continued support of Fundraising Academy National University supporting these Ask and Answered Fridays or Fri Yays. So this is the day of every week that we reserve questions that have come in from you, our viewers of things and challenges or problems that may be keeping you up at night and there are many ways to submit your question and it looks like we're starting out from Denver, Colorado today and so we will kind of go back and forth with these questions and, you know, provide some insight. Okay, so we've got Trey from Denver saying, can you discuss the impacts of hiring an interim CEO? Specifically, we want to know how long the position should last. Well, this is a great question, Trey, and thank you for asking this. My canned response is going to be six to nine months, but it also depends. So there are interim CEOs and in fact there's interim succession leaders or transition leaders at kind of each C-suite position. So I myself provide the interim CEO role, the COO, so operating in CDO for being development. So the CEO, I'm going to say about six to nine months. However, I have seen it extend past that, past that nine months.  So if it is your very first CEO and you're moving and evolving your organization from all volunteer-based to now having a CEO, I'm going to push that to about 12 months or more. Yeah, 12 months or more, but if this is a position that exists already within your organization, I would shorten that. And the intention of this, Trey, is for it to be a strategic succession and transition plan. So by no means should this individual stay long-term. And in fact, once I notice that the board and the staff starts to get really comfortable with me, that's when I notice that it's time to pull the band aid because I don't want to stay as a security blanket. No. So then let me ask you this, would this answer be different depending on the situation of how the previous CEO was left? Like if they were fired or there was mismanagement, I mean versus retired? Yeah, I would say perhaps. So I did come in and serve as an interim CEO for an organization that did have mismanagement, so financial mismanagement.  And so it took a little bit more steps when it comes to that. But let's just say that not, that is the small fraction of most organizations. So typically this could be a health matter, this could be now that your CEO has waited through the majority of COVID maybe, right? That he, she, or they is ready to retire and truly ready to take that step away. We're seeing that here in our community, Julia, there are CEOs that were waiting and staying with organizations to make sure that everything stayed, you know, good or as good as possible. And now they're ready. They're saying, I can't, I can't wait any longer. Right. Well, it's an interesting thing because I would imagine with this great resignation that's going on with all the, the aging out of our leadership, and there's so many of these influences that have come to, to the same point. This concept of interim CEO, which was like, not too long ago, very unique. Now everybody's going to be really looking for that. So those folks out there that do this type of work or have this practice. Yeah. So unique in the nonprofit sector at large, but the, the, it started in faith-based organizations through congregation leadership. So the practice itself is not new, but it being implemented more towards charities. That is really, you know, trending or becoming more familiar. And it's a great opportunity. I highly recommend it for organizations because it is such a strategic move. I love it. Wow. Okay. Well, that's cool. Trey, I hope you have good luck with that.  And you are one of many, many, many organizations, my friend. Okay. Melissa from San Mateo, California just wrote, we have, we just secured a media partnership with a local TV station, which is a big deal for us. Should we decline offers to appear on TV stations in the same market? I love this question. We don't want to upset our media sponsor, but we need the coverage. Yeah. Wow. Well, first of all, congratulations, Melissa. I think that is a huge partnership.  So I never did a media partnership without some sort of contractual documentation. First and foremost, it's very, very important. And I think you're right, Melissa, to be thinking about how, where do you stand with your partner? And how do you navigate that exclusivity as it were? So you need to first and foremost determine what type of agreement was entered into. And it might even be something you didn't negotiate or that you didn't, you weren't involved in. But chances are there's some sort of documentation that spells out exactly what's going on. Because this is the bottom line. Immediate outlet, whether it be print, broadcast, radio, even streaming, will be very, very unenthusiastic. That's a nice positive word. Unenthusiastic about covering or promoting something that helps a competitor. I mean, makes sense, right? So you've got to make sure that the media partnership is also good for you, because I've seen organizations get into partnerships where they think, oh my gosh, this is going to be fabulous. But that media outlet didn't really provide much coverage. And yet they hogtied them from working with any other media outlets. And so it goes both ways. You need to understand what the ground rules are. But chances are you are going to really be limited with your other media outlets. Another way to look at this is what we started with, is the different types of media. So you might have an exclusive with broadcast media, specifically the TV stations in your neighborhood or your market. But what about a Spanish speaking outlet? Maybe that's something that you could still engage with. Different ownership, different market. Definitely then you would be open to have new relationships with print media, with radio. I mean, with even like, I've seen billboard partnerships. So there are a lot of different media outlets. But yeah, it needs to be documented.  If somebody steps up and says, yeah, we're going to partner with you, then you need to honor that relationship. But you have to define it first. Julia, does that mean that we should maybe steer away from media partnership or overall, is it still the best thing to have? Well, you know, that's my background. So I'm wearing a little bit of a tinted visor, as they say in the poker world. I think that it's really positive to have, if you do have a commitment that is really sufficient and significant. So for example, you know, are you going to have a partnership during a big giving time or big ask time?  Are they going to be doing live remotes from your event? I mean, there are all different ways to go about this. We see this a lot when they share, when TV stations share their on air talent for MCing work.  But the bottom line is it needs to be structured and spelled out. And I don't know of any media stations of significance that would enter into something like this without spelling it out, right? That agreement is really the key piece. And it's a contract. It would just be, it'll be exactly like an advertising contract, except where the amounts are. It's going to say that it's, you know, a donation or, but they want to track it because you have to remember these media outlets in the broadcast world have to to report to the federal government what the hours of pro bono minutes actually with the minutes of pro bono work has been done and in their communities. I mean, that's all registered and they have, they have target amounts that they have to reach. So, you know, this is something that they're looking to do. Now who's the nerd? It's good. That's great. Great question, Melissa. Wish you all the best. Hope that this answer is helpful for you. And yes, I think that contract is Julia shared is really the key ingredient. So make sure you take a look at that and see what it says because you might have a dance partner and you might have to stay with that one dance partner. Exactly. Doing the tango. Oscar from New York, New York writes, that's like so mean. I can't believe I made fun of Oscar. Maybe accent. We have had a tradition of offering our board members a nice dinner with a super short meeting each holiday to end the year. Then do a lot of those. With COVID, we are thinking that there must be a newer and fresher way to celebrate their service. Any ideas? That's a great question. And there is a lot of thought, you know, of going into what is important to spend your money, spend your time, thank your board members. So Julia, if you've been to a lot of these, yeah, what have you seen done differently? I serve on a board now where they always provided a meal for any and all of the meetings. And what they're doing now is they're doing a door dash coupon where the board liaison is doing, and I'm trying to think what the amount is, $20, $25, I'm not sure. And then it goes into an account. And it's very interesting because it has to be used that day.  I mean, it's kind of a weird thing. So that they do it that way. I personally don't want to be on camera on a Zoom meeting eating. While eating, sure. For me, I mean, that's just, that's just a judgment call. You know, so I might get something to drink from my own office, but that's the most that I'll do. So I find that very interesting. But I don't know, I kind of think it could be fun to do that. Maybe a more elevated door dash thing, because you would easily, if you took your board out, you're easily at $50 a person. Yeah. For a nice year end. I mean, that's not even with a lot of alcohol. Right. You know, so. Well, and there are ways, Oscar, that you can, you know, maybe bring in your mission to the board. There's also many ways and things, products in particular that you can customize for the board. So you might want to look at that. We've had charity charms on a couple of times and that company has, you know, everything from key fobs to bracelets to necklaces to cuff links. So there's a lot of different things to consider. I'm thinking also, you know, if you do want to send something of average, you could perhaps create a customized label or something that's special for the event or for the year or for your group. Yeah. So and that could also go with the dinner, the, you know, door dash or grub hub or whatever you have in your community.  Right. Perhaps you engage with a local restaurant and you have the board members able to pick up their meal. That could work and, you know, make it make it easy, but celebratory. I think there's a lot out there. We just, you know, now's the time to really think about who is our audience. What would our boards like? Because, you know, Oscar, I like this quote, when you've seen one board, you've seen one board and they're all a little different. Yeah. And every board member, whether you have three of 21, 27, right, like they're all different. So I think it really depends on your team and your organization. I agree. And I also think too, I like the point that you brought up and I just want to amplify that, Jared, is that there are a lot of nonprofits that have some sort of social enterprise. And so we did an event last week. And in our party favor bags for our guests, we had items that came from our community, you know, that they're part of that. So definitely, you know, band together with your other nonprofits that in your community, that if there's some way to share that love, yeah, absolutely. I think I typically make that my holiday present to my parents and my brother is a local community gift from where I am. And so I've done that a couple of times and it's great. So think about how you might be able to use that same opportunity with your board members. Exactly. Okay, Jamie from Lexington, Kentucky writes in how many nonprofits do you know of that are using a second in command position to denote the incoming board chair. We've not done this, but we think it's time to do so. And we're not really sure how to go about it. You start because I'm curious if you've seen this in your board service. Yeah, board chair elect is normally what it would be called. And generally, that is described in your bylaws. And so it is assumed when that person takes that job that they are doing a two year or whatever the term of the board chair is stint of training. So the concept is that when, you know, January 1st rolls around or whatever that the way the end of the board service time structure is that new person is ready to go knows how to run the meetings, is familiar with all the board members. And you don't miss a step because we know, in fact, we had a guest on that talked about this was this week or last week that the average time to get somebody familiar is a six to nine month term, right? I think they actually said nine to 12 months. It's a learning curve for sure. Yeah, so you're trying to avoid this. I don't know about you, Jared, but I think board chair elect is is something that's standard that everybody knows. And so there's more importance put upon that position. And I love this model, Jamie, because it then prepares your board and that next board chair for the future, right? And so I have seen in particular these last two years, there is no succession plan with the board. So it is, you know, well, who will serve as our board chair and everyone's like, don't look at me.  Or what have you and it's like everyone like no, no. In fact, I heard a story where one board chair was elected while they were eating and it was because she couldn't say no. And so I really think, Jamie, this is a beautiful, brilliant model for that succession planning. It brings continuity. It brings Insta like institutionalized knowledge. It brings consistency in the leadership and with the with the board. So as you, you know, bring in new board members, they are seeing the model and understanding kind of that succession plan. Plus, I think that shows this level of maturity within your model within the leadership. And it shows these new board members what to expect. Because what we want to do is really engage the board member. That's what it was. It was Gregory Nielsen, Julia, and he was saying that it takes about nine to 12 months before a new board member actually engages in conversation. And so by having this model, I think it really does allow these new board members to see the security that's already built, understand and become familiar with the model. Hopefully that helps to engage them at a much earlier pace than nine months. Right. And it's such a healthy way to go. And I also think that when organizations outside donors, funders looking in, they see this, it gives you more confidence that you have a board in a structure that means business that knows how to operate and is going to be more successful with, you know, basically financial investments. So absolutely. Yeah. Great question. And I do, I will use your word to amplify, check your board, your bylaws. Right. And if it's not there, consider putting it there. Put it in. Yeah, absolutely. It should be there. Hey, Jared, an amazing, amazing week. Yes. Super busy. Have a lot of really interesting things coming up. And I can't wait to share with you. We have a really, really interesting three day group or set of, I guess, come in and talk about cybersecurity. Big deal. Big deal. I met with him, he and his team, to talk about what this would look like. And I'm telling you, I was freaked out. Yeah. Freaked out. He said things that I had no idea. I mean, this is more than fraud in nonprofits. You know, we've talked about that. And a lot of times it goes with the financial institutional side of our business. This is totally different. And so it's going to be a group from I Bailey that comes in. It's going to be really powerful. I cannot wait to hear because I thought of these shows earlier this week when I heard from someone that their nonprofits website had been hacked. And I was like, okay, tune in for these cyber security shows because it's what we need to know more of. It's fascinating. They're going to get into what it looks like, what you should do, how you can buy insurance, how you can determine risk, coming up with a communications plan. I mean, all of these different things. And one of the comments they made was that this problem has been made so much worse by the pandemic because people are taking equipment and technologies off campus. And so it's actually made server and cloud issues a lot more perilous, right? And because people can't just get up and walk down the hall and ask a question, they might open an email that really was not a legit thing. Wow. Fascinating. Well, I am so glad again to have our continued support from our sponsors that allow us these opportunities and to bring these timely critical topics to all of you throughout the nation. We've said it before, but we really are super close to 400 episodes strong coming up on what two years I think of the nonprofit show. We will be launching our survey, our viewer survey, and we really hope a Sunday. So look for that email. And we hope that all of you will provide your feedback so we can bring more of what you want. So it's been phenomenal. Thank you for joining us today. Thanks to again our presenting sponsors. Please do take some time to check them out. They are doing great things. Blue Marine will be joining us to talk about Giving Tuesday. And that's going to be coming up soon. I hope that's on everyone's calendars. And again, thanks to Fundraising Academy for underwriting our Friday Ask and Answers. It's a lot of fun. And again, send us your questions. We will get them on. We can take them through any of our social media platforms where you can direct email us. So hey, Jared, have a wonderful restful weekend. You too. And a successful one because you've got some work stuff on the books I know. I got two speaking gigs today alone. So I got to go deal on those which will be fun. I'm dressed in purple today because I'm supporting autism. Purple is the main color of autism. So I'm doing some work with two large autism groups. I just thought it was for Fundraising Academy. I know. I should have. I did think about that when we logged on. I'm like, oh wait. But no, it's really for our friends serving in the autism and neurospectrum disorder sector. But as we like to end every episode, we want to remind you to stay well so you can do well. We'll see you back here on Monday, everyone. Thanks, Jared.


Thanks for staying with us. Thanks for staying with us now. Digital natives are generally identified as Millennial Generation and the generation that come after as of right now, this includes Generation Z and Generation Alpha. These generations have spent nearly their entire lives surrounded by computers, digital devices and the world of social media. As young adults, digital natives should be able to use modern technology proficiently to find jobs and better prepare themselves for everyday life. Now digital native professionals are in high demand because they have the skills and knowledge necessary to succeed in the digital world. Now they are comfortable using digital tools and technologies. They are able to find and evaluate information online and they are able to communicate and collaborate with others using digital tools. Riding the wave of digital transformation can open the doors to global opportunities by accessing careers that have a demand for digital native professionals. So today we are asking how can we become digital native professionals in the era of digital transformation. Now please, let's hear what you have to say. Remember, you can join the conversation and it's an SMS or what's up to the rate one. 8034663 can also tweet at us or rather do not exos. We'll leave it there. Alright, so let me start with, what's your name, Jennifer? You know what I'm saying? You are doing a situation smile looking at me.  First of all, how, would I say how easy is it right now to operate like a full blown career to just say you know what this is what I want to become and you know, how is it? Is it easy to go into the digital space and just play well and do well or there are other things you need to do? I wouldn't say it's easy, right? Because there are lots of parameters and requirements that you need to check off for you to even go or play in those waters, right? So for someone like me who have always been exposed to technology, right? Being exposed to courses or even roles in tech it might be easy for me to switch from one career path to another within the tech space, right? But for someone who is coming from let's say a finance background or a commercial background and you're trying to come into tech it might not be as straightforward or smooth for you because there are things that you need to learn. The truth is even as a tech babe even as a tech babe, right? I still have to learn, right? There are lots of things, loads and loads of things to learn, right? Because we never will finish read one. So it's almost like you literally have to be constantly learning. And that's because technology evolves, right? When we started with computer, the everyday laptop that we have that wasn't what we started off with, right? We've heard about abacus, things like that. And then even the first computers were really big but now look at it, we have very tiny laptops and some people even go around with their tablets and you can move around. Some people can actually work from their phone, right? If you have a business you can generate invoice from your phone you can check your inventory, inventory management, everything from your phone, right? So that's the trajectory of technology these days. Things are changing, things are evolving. Where we are today is not where we're going to be in 10 years to come, right? The knowledge and the skills that you have now will become redundant in the next few years. So you have to keep evolving as tech is evolving. And the way to evolve is the same. So the thing is even if you check a lot of things like education now you hear things like edutech, right? Agri-tech, there is prop-tech which is real estate technology. There is a lot of things, right? So everyone is transforming or going digital rather because that's what the world is right now.  How are you, NJ? I'm great. How was it for you? How easy was it for you to switch into the digital? Like tech space? Okay, so it was, I would say it was half and half. So I came in from the business development angle of it and it's more focused on bringing the business up to standards. So whether it's finding out from opportunities in terms of sales, marketing, all around. You're looking at the digitalization of the organization on its own, how we run our business processes, how processes for even as small as approval leave and all those things, the internal structure of the business. Needed and overhauling. Yes, needed and overhauling and an upgrade. You know, from the times like Jennifer was saying from times of our course to now, now you're working with, you hear things like AWS, you are working, you know, there are different platforms and different solutions and the solutions are there to help your business, you know, how you provide these businesses to your clients, make it easier, make processing and analytics easier for you. So right now from the business angle, there's a part called, you know, is digital natives. There's the digital natives business, which is where you use new solutions and new technologies in order to change how you offer your service to your clients and even the product, the kind of products and services that you offer. So there is always constantly a need for you. For me right now is interesting and exciting because in technology, there's always something for you to learn. I'm dealing with almost about, what, over 50, between 50 and 100 solutions and you have to be on top of all of them and you're, you know, you're talking to people in different industries and you have to always know what solution they require in order to, you know, be able to run their digitalization properly. So it's crazy. Absolutely. Let's bring it out again. Sally O'Call, for NASA, right, started her career in retail sales and management and transitioned into the education sector where she serves as the head of marketing admissions and communications at Breach House College Ikoi. In recent years, Sally has made a significant impact in the exciting field of edu tech. She serves as a regional communications manager at Nextford University and a leading American based online university where she played a critical role in expanding the university's brand and presence in Nigeria. Sally is currently the community development manager at Nextford University where she leads the development and execution of stakeholders engagement events and partnerships in Nigeria. And we're really honored to have her with us in studio. Hi, Sally. Hi. Thank you for having me here today. It's a pleasure to be here to contribute to this topic. Yes, so. And it's one that's close to my heart. I can see because I saw you nodding and nodding. Both of them were talking. You are in marketing process. So I can imagine how you're saying, well, hey, like literally, right? I think it was our generation that got the millennials with the ones that got introduced into technology and all of that. But we're seeing that, you know, I mean, there's a video. Is it a Google video? And I'm not sure of a baby in the delivery room. I don't know if you've seen that video. It's so funny. I've watched it several times. The one that the baby comes out with. The baby comes out with it. And collects the mother's home. So he cuts his own. I'm going to call him. I'm going to call him. To perform the vocal. This self is and all that. And like in the truth, it might be funny. But that's the era where again, like literally, everybody right now, if you are not immersed in technology, you will truly become redundant. So how is it first of all, how easy is it for people to say, OK, you know what, I have done this career for, let's say, 20 years. What do I do next?  What should they be looking out for in terms of trying to transition into a more digital native professional so that you can stay relevant? Because that's the future. How easy is that one number one? Number two, for people that are already in this space, I feel like it's just too much. Like today, I was online learning different things. Like you literally, so is it not too much? Where do we say, OK, no, no, no, I think I've learned enough. Is there ever going to be that time at this digital age? Is that going to happen? So maybe you start with the first question. OK, so I'll start with the first one. When people talk about how difficult it is to get into technology, I say the first thing you need to know is this, don't resist it. Once you build that resistance with a mentality or otherwise, you're going to have challenges. So the thing is this embrace technology, because with or without you, it's here to stay. With or without you participating in it, that's the future. So just embrace the change and flow with it. So yes, millennials then grew up with technology, but they adapted to technology. And people might say, oh, well, I'm past that age. Like I'm not too young to start learning stuff. But the whole nature of man is one of continuous learning.  Yes, so embrace technology. See it as another language you want to learn. That's how I put it. It's not something to fight. It's not something to get scared of or get overwhelmed. Take it in little bits. You don't have to know everything at once. You don't have to do everything at once. Start with taking very little bite-sized courses. Start with, and then find out for you to really embrace technology. I'll say find out how you learn best. Do you like videos? Or do you prefer reading materials? Do you prefer listening? And that's the beauty of technology. All these learning styles are available. You're not limited, unlike the traditional experience where you have to sit down and just go to listen to one person talk. So that's the beauty of technology. You can actually harness the power of technology to suit your own style. So the second question was, so for people that are already in the system, right, how do you keep up? And where do you draw the line, because, like, literally, my sister just graduated from Nexford. Interesting, right? Congratulations to her. In fact, Namitela Mishigudio, she has a lot to give me. And the interesting thing is, she said, what? So I was talking to her today. I said, Faith, I just saw one call. You see, you see, you want to do AI once in a while. So she said, ah, yes, I do like this. I'm ready to many things. My brain, like, literally she's, oh, and she is, she's not someone that is.  She loves to learn naturally. For now, what she's done, like in recent time, I think for three, four years now, she's been intentional about moving herself from what's it called, just being hardcore learner to now a digital professional in her field. She's in the finance space, right? So she takes courses, the libre, she's doing, she's done data analytics, so she's doing everything she feels like this would be the thing that would now eventually now put me in, so that she positions herself for the future. But I feel sometimes like it can be overwhelming. Like Julie, but you know you cannot take somebody to draw the line, but it's what you're saying, it's online learning. But tell me how to manage it though. So I think what you should do here is not. So sometimes when you look at a problem, you see, you want to look at everything at once. When you do that, you're going to get this courage. Narrow your vision, focus is important. What your sister did is fantastic. She honed in on her experience, and she said, look, I want to go further in this experience and become a digital native at it. So if you're trying to do everything at once, you're hearing people talk about UI, UX, you're hearing coding, you're hearing there's that digital marketing software development, you have to know yourself and then tell yourself, which of these areas, where do you want to fit in? Because you have to find your niche. You can't be everywhere right. So that's the first thing to do. So it doesn't overwhelm you. And then take it in bite-sized courses. Just try taking one course at a time. And yes, that's what we sell, but the way we go about it, we also try not to overwhelm you. Pace yourself and do not compare yourself. Technology has made it so easy. You are literally in competition with yourself and not with the next person. So don't try to do everything at once and don't listen to the marketplace. You know what, hold that thought.  So if you're just doing then, becoming a digital native professional in the era of digital transformation, that's the conversation we're having. And we have Sally with us. Yeah, we're already having fun. So you can join the conversation, send us an SMS or WhatsApp to do it, 1-803-4663. So please, if you should pardon me. Is it a marketplace you said before when on a break? Yeah. Because now, every time I see a lot of people going to global standards, so they are comparing based on, okay, project managers are being paid, XYZ, business developers are being paid. So people now are learning based on earnings. Is that a good thing? So it depends on what kind of person you are and that's why I say, do not listen to the noise in the marketplace.  Are you going to abandon the groceries you wanted to buy to go for clothes? That's the sign of an undecided mind. So you need to filter out the noise and find out where you want to go. So the first thing in going anywhere is to know where exactly you want to go and being focused on that journey.  Where in Surileri? Oh, I don't know. It means that you're going to end up anywhere in Surileri. But if you say, oh, I want to go to Adenrongunso here. You have a destination in mind. You use your map to tell you how to get there and that's how you should figure out your digital parts. Think of where you want to be. Don't look at, I don't think you should. Yes, it's good to know what salaries are saying in the industry. But are you caught out to be a data analyst? Do you have a love for figures? You could be a creative. Not everybody has to be a coder. Not everybody has to be a software developer, even though the salaries are very attractive. But who says creatives are not making money with technology? They're making a lot of money as well. So just research, do your research, find out what works best and what aligns with your goals and then your method of learning and stick to that. You would always evolve, of course, because technology is evolving. But at least you have a map. It will evolve in and out. Exactly. Okay, Jennifer. So talking about, sorry, talking about learning, right? How can a person foster a culture of continuous learning, especially with the uncertainty of technology and how it's constantly changing? Okay, that's a very good question. Next word, we don't call them students. We call them learners. And that's because we believe learning is lifelong. It never stops.  But if you're a learner, you're going to keep learning. So the thing is this, you have to prioritize your learning. What do you want to learn? How, when? Give yourself a goal. Oh, I want to become XYZ. How long does it take? How long is the average time it takes to reach that goal? Okay, maybe I have these other commitments. I'm going to set these targets for myself. If other people are doing it in three months, maybe I will take four or five months to do it. But at the end, I'm going to get where I'm going to. So that's how you should approach it, right? And that's why you have to choose a model that is flexible for you, a model that works for you, that is not necessarily a competitive model where everybody has to do everything at the same time. My question would be, you said a bit about NextFord. Who are your target audience? Okay. And the courses that you, if someone wants to just come out of uni and you're looking for how to upgrade yourself, because you're not sure where, what part you want to take, or you want to be digitally savvy, that's the word. Where do you start from? First of all, who are your target audience? Then as an individual who is just starting out, where do you start from? What kind of courses do you start with? How do you, some people are doing product management, project management, business analysts, data analysis. Where do you start from? Where's the best place advisable to start from so that you don't jump into something that you're not ready for on the other side, because there's the theory part and there's the practical? Like you were saying, if you don't like numbers, why do data analysis just for the money? Because eventually you get tired of it and then there will be no further learning from there. Okay. So to answer your first question, who are target audience? So our target audience are young to any age as long as you're willing to learn. Nigerians, I'm using this in the Nigerian context now, who they're bold, they want to take it different parts. They are ambitious as well. So these are people who are, let's say between the ages of 18 to any age that we don't set a cap on learning, that's up to you. So whoever is interested, that has the skills, now I'm talking about where do you start from? That's the beauty of Nextport. You finish from secondary school, you want to do a bachelor's degree with Nextport. We're not just going to throw you into the deep waters. Get this. So there's a course with our undergraduate classes called the science of happiness. Would you ever think you would find a course like that related to business and technology? The traditional experience, you would not do something like that. But we've got something like that at Nextport because we want to prepare your mind. We want to prepare you for the journey. And when undergraduates take this course, the feedback I've gotten from them is really interesting.  So it prepares them for whatever else is coming along the way. Because you need to figure out your internal state. And you need to get mentally prepared for the journey. So that's one thing you start with. So you're not just going off the deep end or you're just graduating from high school and then we throw you into product management. Again, tech courses are tied to business courses. So you would start gradually, you'd pick up the pace as time goes on. You're going to start with things that are familiar to you. You're not just going to just get thrown into the deep end and then you're struggling. You have no idea on the first day what's happening. You know, that's not how it's done. OK. So do these, sorry, do these, the courses, do these, can they be like, are they a replacement or will I say a substitute for the courses that you study in Nigerian universities? Or is looked at from a higher learning, yes.  Absolutely standalone courses. Oh, OK. So let me explain our model to you. We were built on the course of, OK, traditional education hasn't changed in the past 100 years. But the workplace has changed so drastically. Now, education is lagging behind the workplace. And that's why we get employers saying, oh, they have so many graduates, but they cannot employ them. They are unemployed. They are unemployed. So that's a huge challenge. And that was the challenge we set out to tackle from the beginning. So our curriculum, the entire curriculum, was built from an industry perspective. We spoke to 5,600 top employers from around the world to find out what skills were in demand, what skills were in shortage, what skills did they wish that people that were fresh from school had? And then we built all this into our learning. So NextFord programs are, it's a full degree. And anyone who has undergone a course at NextFord. She's touching me. This question would not come up. Exactly. Wouldn't you need to come up? We soon enrol. Please do. It's very, very convenient. Yeah, so I'm glad you said you're talking about skills, because that brought me to my next question, right? All right. So what are the skills and competencies one needs to acquire or enhance in order to thrive in this era of space that we're in currently? What are the employers? Those factors are all. Now you're talking about, yeah. 600, yeah. And I didn't do skills. No, they're esports. OK, so it's a mixture of both soft skills and hard skills. And on the soft skills side, the common one we hear them say is effective communications. You'll be surprised how much that is a challenge for graduates. People think they communicate well until it turns out they don't. So communication skills is a priority. Problem solving skills and critical thinking. These are very essential skills for you to thrive in the workplace, because it means that you're ready to be able to adapt. And to also contribute to add value, to add value. Because a lot of people go into employment waiting to just receive salaries at the end of the month. Exactly. Without any value at all. But not many people think value adding. Yeah, how to get back. Exactly. If you have critical thinking skills, you'll be able to figure out how your role impacts the entire organization. And once you are cognizant of that fact, you do better. Exactly. But if you don't understand how your role contributes, there's a strategy. And you feel, oh, that's the end. That's the strategy end. It doesn't concern me. I'm just the receptionist. I don't know what's going on there. So that's really where. So problem solving and critical thinking skills are very important. Also, how do you problem solve? There's an issue. Do you only just escalate it without figuring it out? So these are critical soft skills. Now for the hard skills, we now come to things like being able to analyze data, being able to use data in your work, being able to present information in a way that is concise, that is clear. Exactly. Thank you. That's the word. Buzai, without bringing fatigue to whoever has to digest your information. Exactly. So yeah, it's a mixture of both soft and hard skills. Fantastic. So I know, I'm sure, Sally, you had something in mind that you wanted to say when you were coming, driving all the way to this studio when the topic, of course, was raised. And what was that one thing you wanted to leave in the minds of people? Why is it important for you to become a professional native? Was it called digital native? Why is it important? Because the world is, in fact, the things that I learned, interesting thing is I've done project management in 2012. Yeah, project management in 2012. What I'm reading now is completely well thought out. But if I go back to my university where I studied physics. Yes, I studied physics. And I go back and go and start from 100 level. I can bet you is what I learned in 2001 at the entire university is what I will still go and miss there. So the digital space is very different, very, very different. So what did you have in mind? See, you know what, if I don't say anything, this I must leave with the mind of anybody that's watching. So they understand how critical. Because you can't just wake up. You see the book who moved my cheese, right? The mouse was talking, talking, talking. Things was changing. Changed in around him. But it refused to change. Changed, yeah. Now woke up in the morning and saw. The cheese is good. It's been going, but you refuse to see. And that's what is happening in the digital world, right? A lot of transformation is happening.  Things that you never considered to be relevant. That somebody can decide how to reconstruct this glass.  And say, you know what, let's move this line here. It's a skill now that people are now taking and earning. So if you had that one thing to say to someone of the importance of just change, whatever it is that, and you can become a digital native in any field that you're in, what would be that thing you say to that person? OK. What I would say goes back to my first sentence. Embrace the change. Whether without you, it's going to happen. So to avoid being a dinosaur, you just have to embrace that change and harness the potential. So the thing is, people say it as, oh, technology for work. But if my current job doesn't require technology, why am I bothered? But we've done lots of studies on this because we are very focused on preparing our graduates for the future of work. Not about yesterday's job or today's job. What's going to be relevant in the next five to 10 years. And it's interesting how a lot of things have come up, the kind of things that will be faced out.  They're in motion, whether you can see them or not. But if you don't get yourself into that space, then you're going to find yourself becoming redundant. So I would say look at technology from a place of empowering yourself about personal and professional development. You can use it, embrace it in your daily life. Start with the personal development before you even go into professional development. And then it becomes easier as you go with time. So the one thing I want to say is this, please, it's absolutely important that we become digitally fluent in order not to get left behind. Do I have comments? Well, she has said it all. She has said it all. You don't want to be left behind. It's scary. So my son recently graduated from secondary school. And before they graduated, I had told them, say, me, I use calculation. I said, I have good basic salary, basic life for the next designers. Me and a salary are your market players. But because I know that they have the capacity for coding and all those stuff because they are very, very driven in that sense of technology. And every day I'm so happy that I forced them to do it because now they are studying courses online and preparing for the university. And so you are going into the university is different. You're going to be different from your classmates that are just going fresh from, because now you have a skill, right? So now imagine if we, as even as adults, because there's literally no field right now. Even if it is hair salon. Yep. Do you know how much tricolour this is collected? Makin'. I run away. I went to meet a tricolor. I said, this is my front. I just want the hair to grow. I'm a bartender. They did the analysis. They did the whatever, brody machine. They did the scanning. $5,000. I say, you say what? Literally there is no single, I went that basic. Yeah.  Even if it is your nails. There is a technology that has made nails, whatever, different. And not only that, you now earn bigger income because you adopted that technology.  Yes. So my question, my final question will be to you. You know, how can, because I've seen your courses, they're a bit limited. Right? So I'll get to that point. What I see is a bit limited in my head. Because literally what I just said now, the every field requires technology. Absolutely. So how can we adopt more technological solutions like in bite-side courses that can cater? So for instance, I have the stylists. I say, come, come, come. There's this course that these people are offering. Go and take it. Are you looking into like that kind of massive expansion? Expansion, yeah. So absolutely. At the core of what we do is innovation at Nexford University. So we're always innovating and iterating with the marketplace. And which is why we recently launched our master's in digital transformation. So we keep evolving. We keep trying to find out what skills will be needed and we keep building our course. And that's a huge advantage for us. So I would not say we're limited. Because a traditional university, for example, would need to invest millions of Naira or thousands of dollars to change in their library. And that's why you find out if you go back to your university. It's still the same library, but it's expensive. Exactly, to change. But with our online courses. You can update it. We can update it as fast as you can think of. So that means that as you're learning, you are confident that you are getting the latest. So digital transformation is a key aspect for us. And we know that, yes, that's all in comparison. So it's broad. It's very broad. It's not something that is limited. I mean, just today, I was reading about this Nigerian company, some ladies that decided to talk about hair. They want to make a lab-made human hair. And I thought to myself, oh, that's awesome. Because that's a huge area for us. I mean, they will not be cutting people's hair in multiple in India anymore. Exactly. So yes, technology is all in comparison. So digital transformation covers that entire, all those sectors I'm talking about. So if you think digital transformation, because again, this ties back to what India had asked about, guidance, where to, we know. All right. OK, so I think, do you have comments? OK, I thought I heard something. But we've run out of time. No problem. Thank you so much, Sally. We had fun with you. Thank you, and I did too. Thank you very much. All right, so before we go, go and learn a course today. Let me say that one first. I'm sure you follow us across all our social media platforms. Listen to our podcast on Spotify. You can also share the links as well. Share with families and friends. And like, share, and engage us on social media. Now, if you missed our quote for today, here it is again. It says, digital natives are the first generation to grow up with the internet and digital technology. They are used to being connected all the time and to having access to information at their fingertips. This has shaped their way of thinking and learning. Don't worry. We, millennials, we are coming up. We will survive. We'll see you guys tomorrow at 8 p.m. Because we bring another great conversation to you. Ciao. All right.

On the morning of April 3rd, 2011, the renowned artist Ai Weiwei was picked up by Chinese police at an airport in Beijing. Later that day, he found himself in the back of a van surrounded by security officials and wearing a black hood. They took him to a secret detention facility where he was interrogated and monitored. It was here that I began to think of his young son, wondering when he would see him again. I was thinking of being in that position for the next 10 or 13 years. That's what they told me. The memory only belongs to isolated men. I tried to capture what happened in the past. And I realized if there's a chance I would write it down. So I can pass to my son, and at that time he was two years old. So he would have a full record. After 81 days and following an international outcry, I was released by Chinese authorities, but he was far from free. They held onto his passport so he couldn't leave the country, and they continued to watch his every move. It was then that he began to write. The resulting book One Thousand Years of Joys and Sorrows tells the story of his detention, his repeated struggles with the communist government, and how what happened to his father, the famous poet Ai Qing, during China's Cultural Revolution, shaped his worldview. Why art is necessary and important? Why freedom of speech are necessary? So all those issues are not just come to me, but rather come from my father's generation. He was heavily punished with about half a million of the intellectuals, and they are the first generation to be sent to the reeducation camp. They relocated us from the capital to the most remote province, Xinjiang. And that experience gave me early, very intimate relations to politics. Growing up in exile and watching his father's struggle profoundly affected Ai's views on human rights, individuality, and freedom of expression, and he would later explore these themes in his art. In 2005, Ai turned his fingers from the camera lens to the computer keyboard and typed his first blog post, a move that had profound implications for his career. At that moment, neither Ai nor China's internet censorship apparatus anticipated quite what a transformational act this would turn out to be for me, he writes. Ai entered the public's field of vision with the force of a bullet from a gun. If you have art exhibition, you may have maybe 100,000 people went to those exhibitions, but if you put a social media post, you immediately can be saying 100,000 people a day, that's, you know, it's very, seems convenient. Ai also felt liberated. Every character that I tapped on my keyboard was emblematic of a new kind of freedom, he writes. By enabling alternative voices, the internet weakened the power of autocracy, dispelling the obstacles it tried to put in the individual's way. Ai harnessed the power of the internet to push for government transparency, broadcast his anti-authoritarian views and advocate for change in China and abroad.  His blog, along with thousands of his photographs, disappeared. Even an online search within China for his name drew a blank, which foreshadowed his own disappearance a few years later. These Olympics, as you know, are hugely controversial. Why? China has been widely criticized for human rights abuses, including the mistreatment of pro-democracy activists and ethnic minorities. As the world watches the Beijing Olympics, American politicians have become more vocal in their criticism of China's record on human rights. Ai says these gestures will have little impact. When West talk about transparency and human rights, and China is not going to listen to it, because in the West, you cannot even defend the value of human rights. If you talk about United States, you have so many black people in jail.  And you support so many, you know, bad societies, terrorism, arms, and all kinds of dirty works. How can you talk about human rights and transparency? When you hold Julian Assange, a journalist, could be facing 175 years in jail, how can you talk about price freedom? So this kind of argument, you know, is not going to work. Ai sees the struggle between China and America continuing and remains deeply troubled by the direction of both countries. He recently drew headlines for comparing the state of free speech in America to the Cultural Revolution. In many ways, you already in the authoritarian state. You just don't know it. How so? Many things happen today in the US. This can be compared Cultural Revolution in China. Like what? Like people trying to be unified in certain political correctness. That is very dangerous. These thoughts are echoed in his memoirs. Ideological cleansing, he writes, exists not only under totalitarian regimes. It is also present in a different form in liberal Western democracies. Under the influence of politically correct extremism, individual thought and expression are too often curbed and too often replaced by empty political slogans. It is not hard to find examples today of people saying and doing things they don't believe in, simply to fall in line with a prevailing narrative and make a superficial public statement. Tellingly though, Ai Weiwei's book is readily available in liberal Western democracies, where it's received widespread acclaim. In China, it's censored.


If you've just landed on this channel this is where I do weekly cycling videos both inspirational and entertaining cycling stories and I do absolutely through over a deep dive road bike review or in this case we've got the bike elevated slightly and my left leg is out so we can make way for the SRAM Force 1x with a quark power meter sitting right there. So I thought I would move this review out onto the road a couple of reasons. Number one is I had a really shit one in front of the camera yesterday I was poor form and number two I started to think about it and doing this review out on the road makes a lot of sense because I think a lot of people have some preconceived ideas I did anyway that you can't ride a 1x system on hilly terrain and look I'm about to hit a 5 minute climb and I'm going to ride this 1x system on hilly terrain today and I'm going to link to the ride below so you can all check it out. For reference below me I've got a 1x drivetrain which means there's one single chain ring at the front and an 1132 on the rear I'm using force quark power meter now you can get 1x in all the main road group sets these days SRAM started off in mountain and then sort of migrated to cyclocross and then also to gravel and roads been since sort of 2017 and the thing about this group set below me is a lot of people have an idea that you can't get the same gear range with a 1x system and that's not actually true now GCN did a really good video on this topic so I'm going to link to that below but really the main thing that we're going to be talking about today is the variation between gears which I'll explain shortly so I just polished off that hill it's about a 4 or 5% gradient 5 minutes still had three gears to spare and look for this review what I thought I would do because I rode 2x for 10 years almost before I've switched now to a 1x system let's do a 2x system versus a 1x system and let's break it into four parts the pros of each system the cons of each system thirdly my riding experiences with the 1x and lastly we'll conclude with which system I think is best and why so before we go deep on those four points a couple little stories are going to add good context to this review and I just want to point out up front here I have a little bit of trouble personally pronouncing SRAM I tend to use SRAM instead so if that comes across I just wanted to point it out don't need to do it so the first little story is an engineering consulting firm was engaged by SRAM a number of years ago to do an assessment on all their products and this firm they don't do the cycling industry they're across all industries aero space mechanical engineering and after doing their assessment they said regarding the drivetrain to have an object being the chain derailing sort of midair and that system sort of relinquishing its control over that object being the train is bad engineering practices which makes a lot of sense right we've all been at the side of the road pulling the chain back on in the front chain ring and we've seen in the Tour de France at a really inappropriate time chains coming off so you know it's probably a core reason I would say maybe the number one reason why SRAM decided to start making one-by-systems mountain cycle cross and now road so the second little story there's irony at play here a pro continental cycling team team Aqua blue 2018 they rode these 3 t-roh bikes that would only enable a one-by-system you couldn't put a front derailleur on them and they were designed with efficiency gains in mind right aerodynamic short seat stay etc and as a result team Aqua blue in 2018 were the first professional cycling team to ride one-by during their race season now the thing that came into play here was they actually had issues their chains came off during races and it was highly publicised at the time and the thing is I've done a bit of investigating here what I understand is that that team they didn't use the whole complete SRAM one-by-system they use their own sort of custom parts in certain areas such as a rear cassette which from my understanding may have gone out of either the gear variation or gear range that is advised by SRAM and as a result they've had some issues with chains coming off and I feel like it's kind of like if you buy a car from a car manufacturer and you go on the engine you change your valves and the pistons and then the engine stops working it's pretty hard to blame the manufacturer so the pros and the cons let's talk about the pros first and let's start with the two-by system and I'm gonna do this on a two-by bike so the pros of a two-by system I'm now in Adelaide beautiful city about to hit up the hills and riding a Cervelo S5 I'm going to be reviewing this bike later on this channel and on this bike there is SRAM e-tap two-by system it's a 52 36 front 1128 on the rear so the benefits the two pros that I want to talk about is one there's going to be as I hit the hills particularly here less jumping between each gear so as the terrain changes I'm going to be pretty confident I'm going to be finding a comfortable gear no matter what and number two you know I could ride this bike in a fast bunch ride crit racing and then I can also smash the hills and not be too concerned so the practicality of having a larger gear range on this bike versus a one-by system is another pro so the pros of a one-by system they're pretty compelling I reckon there's four of them there might be more you let me know below number one is it's lighter look how much is up for debate I've read online 150 grams but it wasn't comparing it to anything but when you think about it there's one front chain ring so you don't have two there's no chain guide and there's no derailleur so clearly it's going to be lighter second of all it must be more aerodynamic surely number three it's definitely quieter you don't get chain rub slap there's just not much noise happening back there and the fourth one my personal favorite is the gear changing is ever so reliable smooth it's efficient I haven't had one issue whatsoever and you think about obviously you've got SRAM's rear clutch system but you've also got a narrow tooth wide tooth chain ring and a different chain which makes the efficiency of the chain so much more reliable and in my opinion a lot better so the cons of a two-by system I'm in the Adelaide Hills now if you can't tell by my breath and I'm enjoying being the little ring to be honest but as the bike slowed down I've noticed something there's definitely more noise happening down there which proves a couple of things one is a two-by system is noisier and it requires more maintenance looking down at it as well it's definitely less aerodynamic but obviously weighs more and lastly the gear changing it's not snappy and that almost perfect gear change you get with a one-by system so the cons of a one-by system as a general rule of thumb you're going to have a bigger jump in between each gear and number two if you want the flexibility of having a fast bunch riding or criterion bike and also have a bike that you can take on some major hill climbs then in order to do that on a one-by system you're going to need to change your front chain ring and your rear cassette and some might find that a little frustrating so my riding experiences with the one-by I got back from Adelaide a couple of days ago where I was riding a two-by as you know picked up the one-by this morning and I've actually done some hill repeats on this bike this morning so I'll link to that right below but going from a two-by back to a one-by really makes you appreciate the pros of a one-by system that I've talked about earlier in this video and I think that's a quick and easy way to sum up my riding experiences it's been more reliable it's been quieter and to me more aesthetically pleasing so I think for anyone out there if you're thinking about a one-by system really it comes down to having a good think about the type of riding you're doing and selecting the right ratios because if you do that you're going to have a great experience with one-by


I like the scene after the party when they both sort of have that moment of misconnection. Leah is thinking that Simon is saying one thing and Simon is saying that Leah is saying the other and I just like their moment when they both go back and they're sort of in their own worlds and they didn't they both think the other person is in a completely different place where they actually are. Yeah I'd have to actually say the same I think for me it was it was really fun when we shot that scene after the party because I think I think maybe it's one of the first it's not the very first scene but it's one of the more extended scenes where you just see Leah and Simon together and I think there was something supremely fun about the takes that we got to do when Leah's carrying Simon home after he got drunk for the first time after the party smuggling him in. Yeah it's very talented, you've got music, you've got acting, you've got a lot of things going for you. I think you have a very sweet part. I'd say the same for Nick, supremely, supremely talented and also I mean it's a bit of an old soul, I hope you don't mind me saying that. So thoughtful and also so inclusive I feel like when we were hanging out as a cast and as a group for Love Simon Nick was always kind of the first person to say like do you want to go do this and then if someone wasn't responding he would be like hey do you want to come do this so super inclusive and thoughtful and consider it not only to work with but just to hang out with as well. It was actually interesting to see everyone's reaction to those words and I think Jen did a beautiful job. It's just funny that I feel like people don't realize they need to hear what she's saying until someone's actually sits down and tells it to them. Everyone was getting emotional on that day and I think it wasn't so much, I mean regardless of your sexuality to hear that you're wanted, you're loved and that you can exhale now as she says in the scene. It's very emotional.


What's good Josh your boy Ross back again with another video. So we thought the EDP 445 saga was done You guys had let me know that his channel I believe both his channels on YouTube. They got terminated and the Czech Goldstein channel that was trying to expose EDP They got terminated as well Everybody wins for the most part. I guess you can say justice was somewhat served even though EDP Didn't get really any like jail time And I don't think he will get any jail time only because the Czech Goldstein crew the way they were trying to run the sting operation Wouldn't really fly too well in in the the court of law or in the justice system because of just how they were maneuvering So he pretty much will get off scot-free, but the silver lining was his channel Had got taken down and check old steam's channel. I got taken down So everybody's like I well they won't be on on YouTube or really any social media platform like that because They're done. All right, cool. Well, apparently EDP 445 has come back. He's on Facebook basically Trying to make his return. All right, so we're gonna check out what EDP has to say Apparently he has some breaking news his official website will be coming out and The movement will continue. So we're gonna see how this plays out, man Let's see what EDP is talking about.    Well, clearly he does not care that he got caught in 4k trying to Mess around with a underage girl Even though check ghosting there's some assholes too, but still he clearly doesn't care Let's read some of these comments man not gonna lie. It's weird seeing you put this tough persona for the camera again After seeing you act act what I think he meant to say weak when confronted in person voice cracks and all EDP 445 to be honest, bro. Your career is over.  I really hope you do. I'm still a fan of your comedy PS I'm a fan of the word not the person see that's the thing That's the thing.  Like this is now. What's up? Honestly, everyone wants him to make an apology video, but from a legal perspective assuming he's Consulting a lawyer that would be self-incriminating so you can't expect him to make an apology I'm just saying do start in your own website.     I've seen a few of his videos before this whole thing went down I know some of you guys wanted us to check out some of his videos to do a reaction to But honestly man if you support this if you support this guy by Subscribing to his website something wrong with you, man. This is this is one of those things where he's not even remorseful about it He doesn't care And that's the problem. So yeah, EDP is He's going to do what he can to try to make some money on the internet and that's fine cool but the dude really needs to help and I Don't know if he has anyone close to him That's that really cares about him that's letting them know a bro.  Let me know what you guys support EDP after finding out what He was trying to do and trying to link up with a underaged girl Would you guys still support his website or are you still on the nah? I'm good on that guy. He needs help.  I'm I'm not supporting anything. He does he anything he does He's a clown. I'm good on that comment down below. Let me know I would like your guys thoughts and opinions on this man, but yeah, I Appreciate y'all kick it it with me man, and I'll see y'all on the next one. Peace Name a lie to you. I don't Yeah, I don't even know what to say.

But the condition having the same concentration as mentioned in the initial medium. So in first strategy all the ingredient but in the second strategy only the limiting साव्स्तेड with same concentration but in third strategy all those as I mentioned in यहाँ भगट द्धान सब र�isashti ji won and strategy 2 बगत् विदडिमग मिलें और कुँँँँँँँँँँँँँँँँँँँँँँँँँँँँँँँँँँँँँँँँँँँँँँ. With concentration, with high concentrated volume. So, by this we can add either the whole medium or the limiting substrate in a concentrating form. As concerned the fourth strategy that only deals with very highly concentrated addition of the substrate. We can say that we add the substrate in a solid form. But that is very difficult to add during the fermentation process. We can say a highly concentrated solutions of those in order that will not affect the volume of the substrate. So, if we add or if we feed the fermentation according to first three strategy. We can easily say that the volume of the fermenter will be raised. But in fourth strategy when we use highly concentrated substrate. Then there will be a change in the volume very negligible. So, the fat batch system as concerned the first, second and third strategy that can be dealt in a variable volume. But as concerned the strategy four that will be deal with fixed volume. Why we are saying with the variable volume as well as the fixed volume. Because when we talk about the fermentation kinetics, volume has a critical effect. When we talk about the concentration of the biomass with respect to time, concentration of the substrate, concentration of the product. So, if the volume remain fixed then the kinetic parameters will be different as compared to the fermentation in which the volume will be variable. So, the use of the strategy either first, second and third and then are a fourth strategy. We should be clearly mentioned either the fat batch culture in a variable volume or a fat batch kinetics in fixed volume. Because as we know that in the batch culture kinetics and a batch culture fermentation. When we say that is a closed system, no change in the volume. So, all other changes can easily be discussed. But when there is a change in the volume in the fermentation vessels either gradually or subsequently then different parameters can be studied differently. So, as concerned the fat batch in daily routine we can have so many examples. So, fat batch culture in practice can be run either by filling the fermentation vessel with the little volume and then gradually we will increase by addition of that. And then we are used to add the materials until and unless we have the maximum utilization of the fermentation vessel. So, in later modules we will see about that how different parameters can be affected in variable volume as well as the fixed volume.


news update. Okay, folks, Larry Pesadento mid afternoon update for TFNN. I've posted the chart of the US dollar index, folks. We've been up by eight weeks in a row. As you can see here, we've been banging against that 382 retracement from the high that we made last year, you know, and so this is a very, very important time for the currencies. However, you know, we're not seeing much of a response here. We've made new lows now in the Canadian new lows in the British pound and almost new lows in the euro and almost new highs in the dollar versus the end. So that tells us that this market may not be over yet. So that's why we're paying attention to it very, very closely because this market is many, many times bigger than the stock markets of the world. This is real money, folks. This is how the economies run and how they hedge their positions, whether it's airplanes, automobiles, magazines, it doesn't make any difference. They've got to convert it from euros and dollars, dollars to Swiss, Swiss to pounds, whatever it happens to be, and that's how that market operates. It's a 24-7 market. It starts Sunday at around New York time at around three o'clock and goes all the way till three o'clock on Friday, 24 hours a day. And huge, huge quantities go through here, folks, just tremendous amount. So that's why we're paying so very, very close attention to it. Now, the market, we sold off a little bit and then we came back pretty strongly here in the Dow Jones. We've got the Dow Jones just a heart beat away from the high we made here on Monday. And also the S&P is down oh, maybe 20 points from that level still a little way. The Nasdaq is a little bit more. The news, of course, is all hedged on what Apple is doing. And Apple is down again today, folks. Remember, yesterday we hit a 382 retracement and then the market backed off. So it's telling you maybe these products that they have are going to be great, but maybe not as great as they're expecting or what they would like to have. But, you know, these are things that the people that follow the fundamentals do and I don't follow the fundamentals. So it really doesn't, you know, doesn't involve me very much. So let's pay attention to what the technicals are telling us. And I've got a few technical charts to show you when we come back from our break. One is what we call the break your heart trade. We'll be right back, folks.<PHONE_NUMBER>.
