and welcome back to Hawaii, the state of clean energy on Think Tech Hawaii. I'm your host today, Michioen. And today on our show, we've got a great show, we'll be getting an update on the PGV Geothermal Plant after it was shut down because of the Kilauea eruption with our guests, Mike Kelley Keeney, the Puna Geothermal Venture, and Richard Ha, a sustainable energy Hawaii. Welcome, Mike and Richard. Thank you very much. Hello, Richard. Aloha. So let me start with you, Richard. I want to set the context of how important geothermal is for Hawaii, being able to meet its clean energy objectives. So can you give us an overview of why geothermal is so important for us here in Hawaii? Yeah, you know, I've been involved in energy issues for more than 10 years and really quite involved in it. The big deal is that the world has passed the peak of fossil fuel. The credible people that we look at think that this happened in 2018. So we'll be coming down the backside of the oil supply curve. That's pretty worrisome. The other thing is, we happen to be 1% of the whole world who have geothermal at their location. So we're really lucky we have it here. And that's the real reason why we need to get on it and get it done. That's great. So Mike, you're on the spot now. So why don't you go through the history of PGV and how we got to where we are today? And all the good work you guys have done to rescue the geothermal plant from that terrible eruption, which is a miracle that you guys are still there. So go ahead over to you, Mike. Tell us about PGV and your projects. Thank you, Mitch. Thank you. So Pune Geothermal started commercial operations back in 1993 as a 25 megawatt facility. And it was soon evident. It was early on that the resource here was stronger than anticipated. So we increased our contract and our output to 30 megawatts two years later in 1995. And then it wasn't until 2012 where we did another increase in additional 8 megawatts. So it took us to 38 megawatts. And that's our current contractor output levels today. So we've got to mention, prior to PGV, there was the Hawaii Geothermal to HGPA project that the state ran and improved the viability of geothermal as an energy generator. And it was a three megawatt facility. It operated for about six years, I believe. So that was the precursor to Pune Geothermal venture. And so we've been online since 1993, like I said. We have a far push agreement with Hawaii Electric Light. And of course, in 2018, in May, the Lower East Rift or Kilauea eruption started. Of course, I'm certain most folks know that the Kilauea eruption was really started in 83. It just didn't come down the Lower East Rift zone where we are located, right? So what had happened is we shut down. We executed and implemented and activated our emergency response plan. Then we coordinated with civil defense, with the state, civil defense folks, county civil defense. And since then, we were shut down. Here's an update of what it looks like today. If you look above the letter E in venture, that is Fissure 8. It was formerly now known as Ahu Aila'au. That one flowed to the northeast of us. And most of the other fissures flowed to the west of us, the west and south. But this website can be visited. It does have updates, weekly updates. It has a few videos of the project today. Next slide, please. This one here is the roadway that we built to get back on. The river you see in front of us, you can see the cliffs just below the two green structures. That was the river flow path of Fissure 8 that went down to the ocean. And so to the left of this picture is Hilo. To the right is Kalapana. And so we rebuilt the road and started that in December of 2018. The eruption stopped in early August, but it was still hot, a lot of residual heat. And you can see on the top where most of the other fissures flowed south of us. This one is looking from the east towards Maoka. Kilauea is on the top. And you can see the lava surrounding us on both sides. And you can see there's a rig there. We're doing work on our well field. And you can see that the plan was situated on purpose at a higher elevation. And in anticipation that there would be lava inundation, historically there was a flow on the rift zone. The most recent one was 1960. Prior to that was 55. And before that, there were several other in our modern history. So the rift zone, Kilauea is active. Scientists tell us we'll be over this hotspot for at least over a million years. So it's not, yeah, if it's going to erupt again, it's just when. And so we've learned quite a bit from this event. We had to shut down and rebuild. And there's a lot of work. And finally was able to come back online in November of 2020. And next slide. There's just a quick shot of some of our employees on the rig. Next slide, yes. This is like the rig on the left and the rig on the right from an aerial shot. So just briefly, we talked about this, how we situated the location of the major portions of the part plan. And basically, we followed the emergency response plans that we have. And we're able to recover everything. There's a couple more that work that's still in process. But being back online is a huge accomplishment. Another photo from the east looking down. So this is like before and after a Google shot. I thought it was pretty interesting. You look on the left, you can see that we are, PGV is up right there by the word before, an upper left corner. So just for perspective, our area is the facility uses up about 40 acres. We're on 800 acres of lease land, but we're about 40 acres. And then if you look to the right, you can see how the lava just surrounded us. We're surrounded by lava right there. And yes, Mitch. So how close is the nearest house now? Or the nearest, you know, where people are living right now? It looks like all those houses got wiped out. The ones to the south of us is Lanipuna Gardens. The majority of those folks here are covered. Now, to the immediate east of us, the folks along the ridge that we're on, there were at least 30 or 40 homes that were spared also because the lava were on both sides. These were the folks that when we built our road to go back in, we built those side roads so that everyone could go in ahead of the county rebuilding the Kapoho Road. So we were able to help those folks out. And in addition, Helco was also able to use our roadway and our easements to get power back to the folks in there. So it was a win-win for the boys.  Could you tell us about that? Yeah, good point. You know, within days of the start of the eruption, ORMAT CEO and senior executives flew to Hawaii, gathered everyone for an all-hands meeting and said, look, folks, we're going to keep all of you at least one year. We don't know what's going to happen with this eruption, but we'll just commit it to keeping all of you. And so that said a lot for ORMAT. And everyone was like super happy, at least we had some sense of what's going to go on because it was a scary moment when the eruption first started, a lot of uncertainties, right? And so that commitment from the CEO of ORMAT really went a long way. And again, fortunately, the eruption stopped in early August, but in the meantime, all of our employees were taking turns volunteering in the community at the hub in Pahoa. We're donating supplies to help out folks in need. We also volunteered some of our employees with the American Red Cross. And yeah, so we really, I mean, ORMAT, in my opinion, really stepped up and helped out as much as we could. We also- How many employees do you have? We have 32, we have 32. Yeah, at the time we were at around 30, maybe 31. We did not, ORMAT and PGV said, if you don't want to stay on, it's fine. I think one person left, voluntarily. They wanted to move back to Kona, but otherwise everyone stayed on board. How was that? Did any of your employees lose houses in this event or? We did, actually, we did. We lost two employees, Leilani and Capojo. Yeah, it was unfortunate, but yeah, our folks got impacted just like the rest did. Just like everybody else, yeah. Just like everybody else, yeah. Right. So yeah, so we came back online in November. Like I said, today we're at about 17 megawatts. Our contract is 38. We've been fluctuating between 15 and almost 25, still doing some testing and some adjustments to equipment, but the plan ultimately is to get back to 38. And so we're continuing to gradually increase our output. Just another aerial kind of pan view. I like the bottom one, I like them both, but you can really see how all the lava is around us, right? Yeah, so. Yeah, I'd like to say it's a miracle, but you and I talked about how you selected the site and your plan for this. I'm sure there's miracle is involved also. Yeah, we're so lucky and appreciative and fortunate. Yeah, so that's what we're at today. That's what's happening at PGV. And we're still working on getting back to full capacity. So what kind of challenges are you experiencing right now that you want to tell us about? Well, the biggest, yeah. You can talk about your power purchase agreement and, you know. Well, going back, some of the challenges was just getting the road completed.  It took a lot of effort permitting, et cetera, some safety requirements, but we did it. And then it was a big deal to be able to drive back on location. Prior to that, we would fly in because there's no other safer way. That was a challenge. And then of course, getting the transmission lines built again because we had to go to the Public Utilities Commission. So we went through the process. It's primarily Hawaiian Electric, but, you know, we're supportive of that. We need the transmission lines. We wanted to start back up because the current project, PGV, our contract goes still valid all the way till the end of 2027. I see. And we kept all of our other permits up to speed and ready to go in anticipation of starting up when we did. You know, so we're still going through, we're going through some renewals on the Department of Health air permit, also with the underground injection control with the EPA. But that's the normal process. It's taking a little bit longer than it would. It's amazing because we're in the process of renewing the permit. There was a contested case hearing request. And it just coincided with the contested case hearings at Mauna Kea. So ours got delayed. And then we're getting ready to do the hearing again and then the eruption started. So we delayed again and then the eruption is done. We're here again and then we get the pandemic, right? So I don't know if there's gonna be anything else, but it's been exciting. Yeah, yeah. So I also understand you've taken the opportunity to upgrade some of your equipment, so which is gonna make life easier and reduce noise signatures and all that kind of stuff. Do you wanna talk to us a little bit about that? Sure, sure. So we are in the process. There's a proposal at the PUC for an amended and restated power purchase agreement. And by the way, this is something that PGB and ORMET was working on even prior to the eruption. So all along we had this initiative because the existing power purchase agreement terminates at the end of 2027. We have this RPS goal of 100% by 2045. We wanted to start moving the process along to extend so that we can participate and continue our operations. So the amended and restated power purchase agreement was submitted by Juan Electric Helcoe to the PUC at the end of 2019. The four key elements of this proposal is one, we would blend the two existing power purchase agreement into one single comprehensive power purchase agreement. In addition, it would extend the term so that the facility can operate till 2052. It would de-link all pricing from oil. And then ultimately, as you mentioned, it would allow for a repowering of the project, meaning we would install three new, much more efficient generating units and replacing the 12 generating units that we have today. And like you mentioned, because you have less rotating equipment, noise will be reduced substantially. The piping connections, which flanges and valves also are reduced substantially. Thus, yeah, reducing the potential for geothermal emissions. So it's like, you know, all around it's this and the pricing dealing from oil is gonna be the lowest energy rates for our facility. And we're just, we're going through the process at the PUC right now. There's going through the steps to see what we can do about getting approval on the PPA. So when you're back up and running to your full power that you want, you know, what's the percentage of the big islands electricity that's supplied by PGV? Yeah, good question. Prior to the eruption, we were contributing 31% of all energy supplied to the grid. And Hawaii Island, of course, was almost 60% in 2018, relating all the different counties in terms of renewable. And we were the 31 of the 60%. It was actually 57, I believe, right there. But that's at 38 megawatts. You know, one thing I did not mention is that the proposal with the three new units will utilize the same geothermal resource that the 38 megawatt facility today utilizes. But because of improved efficiencies, it'll result in an eight megawatt increase. It'll go up to 46 megawatts. Okay. So we're looking at closer to almost 40% renewable contribution once we can get there. I was talking to somebody from Helico not that long ago, and they said like during the day when, you know, with the winds really going and the sun's out and geothermal is up and running, we're about 83% renewable on the big island. It drops down at night when to around, I thought he said around 55% or something like that because, you know, the sun's not shining and whatever, mainly because of the sun. So that's pretty significant contribution to our goals of getting to, you know, this 100% renewable by 2045. Right. Yep, yeah. And, you know, there's some proposals that's out there for additional solar and energy storage that's looking to come online. Right, right. So Richard, how about jumping in and talking a little bit more about geothermal and its, you know, value to the big island? And maybe let's talk about sustainable energy in Hawaii and, you know, what you're all about there and how we can support geothermal. You know, sustainable energy in Hawaii entered the docket a year ago, January. Right. During that time, we said that there was a question and the question was, well, essentially they were asking, how come you folks are wanting to participate when the consumer advocate can take care of your issue? What we told them was, we commented from a different point of view. We commented from a biophysical economic point of view, which is basically physical science and ecology. So as opposed to, you know, economics from a social science point of view. We're looking at a scientific point of view. And what that does is it allows us to project into the future and quantify stuff more accurately. So that's why we entered. And so we've been participating. And that's what SC Sustainable Energy in Hawaii is doing.  That's common. But right. Alongside is the decline of fossil fuel. And we happen to have geothermal and we want to, you know, move it forward as fast as we can. Because we really don't have that much time that we think we. So that's our interest. So we've seen on the mainland, just in the last week, what happens when your oil supply is disrupted. So you want to talk about that a little bit? Well, I'll put you on the spot. You know, that pipeline that got hacked by the Ruskies? Or? Yeah, you know, and that's a good point because you see right now, PGP is located on the east-west coast. And we need more geothermal. It'll be part of us to diversify so that we won't get caught like what happened on the east coast. Yeah, straight out of this. Because there's geothermal resource on the other side of the island, all the way from South Point, all the way to Monterey, the base, there's a lot of places. But I did want to mention something real important. And that is we have, at the University of Hawaii has this organization called Hawaii Long Water and Geothermal Resource Center. And they're actually under you because think about it, what can be more important than water and geothermal? Yeah, so it could be funded more aggressively. You know, we should by now have had tested wells ready to go. We don't have one. You know, so that's what we want to do, yes. Well, I love geothermal because originally I was going to install an electrolyzer at the geothermal plant. I like it because it's 24-7 base load power.  And we went through, you know, quite a long process to get it approved. But we did and no sooner would we ready to sign the deal. We're ready to sign the deal is when we had that eruption in 2014. Remember that one? It came in 2015 and got really close to coming to Pahoa. It was like, you know, 100 yards away from the main road. So, yeah, yeah, yeah. But, you know, from the point of view of my projects, you know, that's the, and for Hawaii, it's not just my project. It's for Hawaii is being able to have that resource and to use any kind of extra energy to make hydrogen instead of curtailing it, which is really wasting electrons. So, that's a big deal for me. And you know, Rich, to add on to that, you know, PGP and ORMAT, we are, you know, definitely would be interested in pursuing that again once the moment is the best time, right?  We're going to do that test that project. And then, yeah, the eruption came in crazy. Yeah, little did we know that was just a teaser, right? That the big one was waiting to let it rip. Bench, you know, I'd like to add one more thing. Yeah, please. And that is, you know, one thing that we can do is set up something like what they have in Iceland. Iceland has a geothermal resource fund where, you know, where people can come in and want to do a project. They can borrow money from that fund. And if they're successful, they get to pay it off in 20 years or whatever it is, if they're unsuccessful, they write it off. So there's very little risk for them. They already know what's going on, yeah? So we can do the same thing on this island, set a geothermal resource evaluation fund in the county and use it as a receptacle for the grants and private funding, you know, all that kind of stuff. And you know, the geothermal piece of royalty, that royalty is not used for anything to develop geothermal. So how much money is that? I mean, what kind of level of funding is that? Is a royalty stream, you know, approximately round numbers? Yeah, it's a few million dollars annually at full contract. Like for example, yeah, 2018, it was probably around two and a half million dollars. And how is that split up? I mean, some of it goes so far. Yes, the state, the state retains 50% because the state has claims to the mineral rights for geothermal. And then Office of Hawaiian Affairs gets 30% and 20% is to the county of Hawaii. Okay. Well, it sounds like that's something we should be looking at. So I like that idea, Richard. So that's something with sustainable energy in Hawaii could be pushing. So believe it or not, guys, we've almost gone through our whole half hour here. And so I think it's time for me to sign off. But I'd like to thank Mike for coming here and giving us a great, awesome photographs. Man, I was blown away by your new photographs. They're really, really beautiful. And thank you for all you're doing to help us get to our renewable energy goals. And thank you, Richard, for all you do with Sustainable Energy Hawaii and the whole Sustainable Energy Hawaii team. And so this is Mitch Ewan signing off. And I'll see you next week with Hawaii, the state of clean energy.


T. F. N. N. Headline news update. That's the one. Everyone, Basel Chapman here. This is the Thursday edition, August the 26th. This is the Tiger Financial News Network 10 a.m. update. You've got the Dow 34, a couple of stocks are helping a lot up 34 and 35,439. Dow just needs to get to 35,632. And that's an all time high. Will it play catch up? And I'll talk about that. And when I get back, my target technicians are in a few minutes. Will it play catch up to the NDX? That's the NDX 100 QQQ series. And all time high and the S&P making all time highs. It's been lagging. Well, IWM do they will talk about that when I get back. And it's because the S&P S&P is trading right now down about five and a half at 4490. They know time high yesterday. It's up in the higher region. The Magnees good. Circastics at 90%. All of that's very good. And my contention is that until you get a very strong double digits S&P futures down early in the morning with the rallies that are tempted. And then they close at those lows of the day with a Dow triple digit down and bad news and evolving to be able to give a dark cloud cover to the market. It's usually a bias slightly upside bias. Let's go to the QQQ123. There we go. All time high yesterday, a little bit under it. 374 down 80 cents. The big thing is, is this a leg C? Will there be a D to come? I think so. We're looking at the IWM that hand played catch up is holding quite nicely. It's a 222. Really needs to get to the 225.70 226.20 area in the next couple of days. Now this is going to be very interesting. Yeah, you've got gold. Gold is down today down to 1788. Just stuck in this range. It's this is going to be very important. I'll talk about that as well when we get back because gold had a really strong rebound from the very sharp fall. And now it's kind of stuck. And I think stuck is the way that we've got to look at it and just say it's it's tradable, but in a range and a small range. Crude oil is trying to rally off the low of the Georgia period moving average. It's at 6070. It needs to get to 6950 70.30 and the continuous contract to really show that it's got legs to the upside. TLT is something we also need to talk about. And the TLT is down. So yields are rallying. Baselchap and be back for the Tiger technicians hour and check out mobile for getting used to it. Have a great day. Otherwise, I'll see you in a few minutes. Hope you're there.


Allergic weekend in the Northeast, so I'm doing well off of that How are you doing pop true and on ice great great? I had a great four days with my son where I was home ever worked from home We had a piece and vids a BJ a lot of playing time a lot of playing time with baby James But other than that not great I have to wear these glasses still have a rash all over my body We had to get skin taken out the two sets of stitches on my body. That stinks. It's gross the rash up there It's pretty foul a rash. Yeah a rash could be anyone. Let's kick it to the sports James you know I view the game a little differently and What's really important is what's happening off the field while we're on the field when it's off the field in the Dodgers They have four guys on paternity leave and one cub and you're saying okay. Why is that okay? He was a Dodger Cody Bellinger. I think there was a sex party that leads back to last all-star break Oh my goodness. How many are on the paternity leave now five Caleb Ferguson might be joining them in May So just a little late to the party, but it all dates back to the all-star weekend from last year Which I like in LA in LA The arrangements are probably strict when you're a baseball player all the sudden you hit that Obulation time at a different time of day because you're free. Everyone's pregnant. Good job by the Dodgers This is pretty cool. I'll use the all-star break week. Well This happens all the time in LA. I've been telling people you have you say that Hollywood's one big orgy Jim this almost a breakdown comes from our world and man. It's Devastating yes Jake it is and I want to watch it with you the opening game for hook line sinkers forgotten rotten hook lines one Out away from winning it and do they strike Trev out? No, he foul tipped it and it hit the bottom the leg not the zone to hit the zone He'd be out next up ball and play Kenobia. Oh No, oh look at that dejected face Just sad would have ended the game if he fields it clean and he does not field it Clean even sadder that he does get his hand on it at the end And then Roark comes up with two outs and he's in auto take mode And this is the real breakdown amongst the devastating breakdown. You've never seen someone in auto take mode in this It doesn't turn his head at all one.   He's like don't let me hit again. Don't let me hit again. I found it I found it should have lost the game. He did lose the game. He should have lost the game. Canobio blew it first pitch from Drew Trev was all for five up until that point devastating turn of events game two the Blitzwell battle three on the JM warehouse games channel and Yeah, it's a breakdown of sorts feel for Drew Davis. Great job by Dan Rourke That was almost a breakdown of this is my bird dog tumbler and those are Jake's bird dog shorts Yeah, I got caught under the table Okay And speaking of birds Jake, let's go back to the more sports James this Belgian town of Dapan Three two one eight. Yeah, it's a great name for Belgian town They hosted the third annual European seagull screeching competition around 50 athletes took place Which is wrong because they're not athletes And Yarmou the 21 year architect he won I think it's gonna be tough to repeat Competitions gonna get more crowded. I like that Yarmou's going by one name.  That could be a nickname. It's Yarmou Yarmou.  I was principal for a day when I was in kindergarten because they had this giant stand full of Tootsie roll pops and there was Colors on the bottom of the Tootsie roll pop and whoever got the blue one got to be principal for a day So I did this so I'm better than this girl. She was in fifth grade.  I think we're getting pranked. Now. I don't know how carving icebergs goes But if I told you a guy in dildo Newfoundland took a speedboat out to an iceberg carved it like a dildo And then went back the next day and discovered it. Would you be shocked? No, but I do think this is one of those There's a phrase for you probably have it like you know when I first want to get a golden doodle You start seeing more golden doodles when I first I got a car. Yeah, I think it's called frequency bias Yeah, or it's actually called the bottom minehawk phenomenon. That's like the if you live in dildo, New Zealand Everything looks phallic, but this is really phallic the guy who discovered it. It's a pretty phallic Ken pretty three two one ten I don't know Kenneth pretty Ken pretty mr. Pretty.  Pretty is very fun. I hope he's a school teacher because if you're Ken pretty and you're ugly. I think you're just like Ken pretty that's just the name I think people would think I'm trying too hard. He saw the iceberg and then he flew his drone over it to get a closer Look and he was like whoa, this looks like a dick, right? You guys are with me Please tell me this looks like a week and then he went on to say it's unreal How much it looked like part of the male anatomy which part Ken? Employee of the week. It's the employee of the week. It's the employee of the week It's a sad sad sad thing in the song. Oh, yeah, Jerry Springer passed away and watching baggage was a Popular show here at John Boy media and he was a funny guy staple Staple icon he passed away Hall of Fame someone paid him on cameo to send us a message So we have that RIP but employee of the week well deserved lifetime achievement basically first time Thanks for watching Today's episode of the weekly dumb was brought to you by bird dogs bird dogs are incredibly Comfortable and I look good in them actually are incredibly comfortable and I do enjoy the way I look and look at Jake's Took us he looks great ready to run around on the beach and man people are gonna want to take them off of them They fit nice. They're stretchy.  Wow. Thanks bird dogs Hey Jimmy and Jay Jerry Springer here your buddy Tony tells me that You are great fans of the show baggage that you guys were childhood friends And you are working hard to build your career as baseball YouTube commentators So I can imagine how exciting it is for you. I hope it all works out and my other wish for you is May you never be on my show? So because that's not a good thing. So take care of yourself and each other


What's up everybody?

Good luck though, man Hey, man, I seen I seen you at the Braves game yesterday. How was that? How does it feel to be like at a World Series game?  Here we go guys. I said I got to break two boxes as parcels on Instagram on Thursday, I believe it was Didn't point anything crazy, of course sapphire is always Really nice. Ah, that's awesome, man. I know but it's been a little bit. It's been a while Of course being a Dodgers fan, I kind of would rather just have Atlanta win, you know Can't have Houston win Jock get a back-to-back rings potentially, you know Got a room for that Juck pup we got an autograph right away Johnny Russell and that is for Sporting Kansas City Which is gonna rob a ronkel who got injured on Oregon, hopefully that's it though Alexander Pato, that's a number to 99 for Orlando City going to Caleb Josef Martinez, I know he was a bigger name as well Che Charito Any rookies will penny-sleeve for sure though Christian Torres and we have Brenner number to 75 for Cincinnati Cincinnati that is going to Robert said Jose Alcador down Paxton ooh and Carlos Turan What is that? What color is this? Out of 50 gold Chicago fire Gonna rob a ronkel. That's a nice one big city strikers Bradley Wright Phillips for Columbus number to 50 Columbus going to Robert. There you go. Nice. Let me top all these color cards really quick That box had a lot of color. I've seen some box. I only have like two Next box is Ricardo Pepe For FC Dallas when a Caleb That's a big one right there and Diego Chara. I must say though. I like the white better than the blue For some, I don't know like you remember the original like Safran when they created for the first time in 2019 with like Tatis and Vlad For some reason, I feel like the white's awesome Portland Timbers Going to Caleb we got Franco Chata another one for FC Longer Zimmerman Sam Vines we got Franco For FC Cincinnati to 75 It's prodigies Brenner that is Carlos Vela and we have Valentin number to 50 for New York City Which is going to rob a ronkel There you go guys that was the break so this is tops MLS sapphire two box break two round teams each number eight If number nine is not well actually number nine is in the store. So if you guys want to run it back We definitely can Jasper's case breaks calm. Appreciate it guys some good names in here. This is the second boxer her some colors Regardo, let me have these over here too as well Awesome, thanks guys


If you can be super excited about a first round pick and already high expectations, Garrett Mitchell's exceeded those expectations in his first spring. Yeah. Every bit of his game seems pretty solid. That's solid contact out towards deep center and Garrett Mitchell has gone deep, right on cue. Well, hit your level when these guys make you look good. Good approach, opening up some eyes, having a nice spring. Yeah, he's a good one. He can play. Check this out. Fast ball up and a lot of lefties, they like it down in the zone, but he gets on top of it, rise it on out of here in the right center.


Okay, up in the back. All right, now we're ready. Come get breakfast. Yeah, a little cereal for you. It's cold, it's cold, but at least the sun's coming up. So I bet you didn't know that my tent has a pizza shelf up here. See this right here? This, this pizza.  Oh, look at the morning hugs. Oh, you're so cute up there. Okay, one last one before getting on the bike, okay? All right, Mira, you ready to rock? Up, up, come on, in the back. Drop your step, come on. Let's go. Here, give me those. Okay, see you later. Okay, in the back, up, up, Mira, in the back. Come on. Up. Hey, get in here. That's a first. All right, see ya. I've learned so far on the Great Divide is that every day is gonna have up and down. Not always up, not always down, not always flat, but a little bit of everything. And right now, we're going up on probably the first rough road. All the other roads have been pretty well groomed. This one, this one's a little chunky. I'm looking at my Wahoo computer and it's like this. It might be the steepest elevation profile I've ever seen. It's kind of insane. Right here, it doesn't look that bad, but around the corner, we might have a surprise. Slowly, but surely, that's how it works. Come on, you got it. Woo, up, up, up. Now the uphill is taking me through a beautiful forest. That's where I'm going up there. Woo, woo, you know what's really nice is that I'm sweating quite a bit, which is what happens when the body works hard, but there's a breeze, a cool breeze. And when it blows across my body, it just cools me down and it's so nice. That was probably a lot easier for you, Mira, wasn't it? You panting? That's what I'm doing too. We just sweat in a different way. That was a pretty good hill. That was solid. What would you say that grade was? Yeah, 12%. Wow. Yeah, and it was pretty steady for a good portion around those switchbacks. What I'm most scared of in Montana aren't bears. They're these guys. They're everywhere. They just pop out of the woods and they create a smoke screen wherever you go. Look, there's so many of them. It's endless. This is a good downhill. That was quite the raging downhill. That was really fun. And now we've popped out in this beautiful valley. Man, imagine living right here. So here we are screaming down this downhill and we hit this beautiful valley. And I was just saying, wow, how beautiful would it be to live in a place like this? And then we rolled up on this ranch with some llamas in the yard and a teepee and some other things. And it says, welcome cyclists. I mean, meet these wonderful people. How's it going? Hi. Hi. So tell me about this place and what you're doing here? Well, we live right on the route. So it's an easy thing to host cyclists and we love cyclists. So we enjoy meeting all the people and hearing their stories and... Barbara's been here for 31 years. Yeah. The route was officially designed... Developed, yeah. Developed, thank you in 1998. So they just celebrated the 20th anniversary in 2018. And so since she was here, people would come by and... Stop and ask for water. They camp here. About 15 years ago, I bought a cabin from my neighbors and had it moved down in the pasture specifically for the cyclists. So now they have a great place to stop and stay and weather a storm or just take a rest day. And I joined four years ago and Barbara then converted a couple of sheds. And then we just got the TV up. So every year, we've been trying to add more and more accommodations, yeah. And how did you meet Barbara? So I was writing the divide from Denver to the Canadian border and I stopped in here around three o'clock in the afternoon. It was too early for me to stop and thank her for all the work that she was doing to support everybody because you hear about it up and down the trail, right? And then I took off and got about three or four miles up the road that you guys just came down and had a huge thunderstorm and decided that I'm gonna come back and stay in the cabin and that was really the start of everything. Yeah, we met, we visited and then he rode on and we just kept in touch with emails for about a year. Then he came back to help chink the cabin about a year later or six months later, whatever it was. And he's been around a sense. That's amazing. So as I said earlier, I've been, I've stayed here the longest of any cyclist. Four years. That's awesome. That's cool. What do you love about the cyclist? I'm guessing you get people from all over the world. Oh, absolutely. We do. Like I said, we love hearing their stories and this is an adventure for everybody. So I love hearing about their adventure and their ride and their animals they see and what, you know, it's a life choice too. And so why did you make that life choice? It's just, it's great to talk about. I would re-emphasize that just to say that everybody has a story, right? And so all the stories come to us. We just got to sit here and just meet a lot of incredible people. We were hoping last year to meet Leo Wilcox, who is a racer, are you familiar with him? Oh yeah, oh yeah. And so we were dot watching and she was a long way out so we went to bed. She showed up here at 2.30 in the morning and stayed in the cabin and left at 5.30. We never got a chance to meet her. Oh no. We'll get her back up here. Okay. Yeah, that's cool. And what do you offer? You have like a whole fridge of drinks over here and sandwiches. Yeah, we have a refrigerator on our front deck there for all the cyclists and it has pop and beer and water and fresh eggs and sandwiches. Yeah, but not vegetarian, but we'll fix it. Yeah, we'll fix that, we'll fix something for you. And so the first stop is to come here, hang out in the shade and the breeze and just relax and visit with us. So we like that.  And what's it been like this year with COVID? It's been tough for us. We're about a quarter of what we usually get. Last year we had 362 guests the previous year, 350. We were hoping for 400 this year and then COVID hit and we're obviously not gonna get there. Yeah. Any foreigners this year? Just you. She means this guy, the Canadian.  Wow, we're very excited to be here. This is really special. Can I just add one other thing? Oh yeah, for sure. And that is that everything here is free and the only thing that we ask when people stay with us is that they pay it forward. We'd like to think that we have four acres of love right here in kindness. And we just hope that any of that love and kindness we just spread out into the world. So that's why we do it. That's why we do this, yeah. Really? Yeah, absolutely. Wow. I'm all about love and kindness. I wish my friend Dana could be here. She's all about that too. Yeah, there's not enough of that in this world. That's correct. There's not enough love and kindness and especially right now with so much division. You know, when I started doing this ride it was the great divide. And I think there really is a great divide right now in the United States, in the world, you know? Well, we like to think when we have our foreign visitors that we can act as ambassadors for people that live in the States, right? They may get a misimpression about what we are, right? And when they stay with us, they can see another side of the way people are in the States. Yeah, that's beautiful. You guys are wonderful. My heart just got bigger. Lookin' out there and share. Yeah, you know I will, you know it.  Hey, buddy.  Look at that face.  Hello, Mr. Llama. Hello. You need a haircut, mister? There is a lot of love in this little farm, ranch, guest house, bicycle paradise. And it all starts with these two. What a nice service they offer. Nice isn't the right word. What an incredible service they offer. Nice. So John has offered to do a little work in return for the sandwiches and beer and we're gonna split some wood. There we go, nice kick. Mira wants to help. Hi, Mira, you're so cute. Oh, this is really funny. This place is a vortex. We thought we'd come here for like five or 10 minutes, have a sandwich, keep movin'. But no, we're still there, hangin' a couple hours later. All right, Mira, you ready to go? You ready to go, Mira? Ready to ride bikes again? Bye, John. We'll see ya, thank you again for stuff. Absolutely, thank you. What a spot, huh, John? That's a real special experience, wasn't it?  My heart is really full after stopping there. That was special. That was unique, that doesn't happen every day. 10 out of 10 on road magic. Trail angels for sure. We're like a hundred meters outside of the Lama Ranch and then when I see this big thing cross the road, I'm like, that's a big deer. Wait, that's not a deer, that's a moose. Oh my God. And today we're the lucky ones, mate. No mistake that I got you when we're movin' up, man. You know, NASCAR has a pace car. We have a pace Mira. She sets the pace and we just follow. That's nice. I'm gonna look up to sunnier skies. When I find that I've lost my compass, I'm gonna look for all the stars in your eyes. And today we're the lucky ones, mate. No mistake that I got you when we're movin' up. We have made it to the capital city of Helena, Montana and we are lucky because tonight we're staying with friends from Boulder and they're making us food. We're gonna camp with our backyard. It's gonna be so awesome. We're the lucky ones now. The ones now. Look at this beautiful meal cooked by these wonderful people. Thank you so much. You're the best. Cheers. And look at that view. Oh wow, we are in luck.  Oh yeah. Look at this road.


Hello and welcome to a screencast today about using geotubra to generate a slope field. Alright, so the problem we're going to look at today is use geotubra to generate a slope field for our differential equation dy dt equals negative 2ty. Alright, let me minimize these and bring up, let me bring up geotubra here, minimize the stuff in the background so it doesn't distract us. Alright, so here is geotubra and down here in my input button I'm going to just start typing the word slope and you'll notice here slope field is one of the options that pops up. Okay, so instead of having that kind of, I don't know, they're less than or equal to signs but whatever you want to call those pointy brackets with the f of x, y and you notice that geotubra uses the variables x and y. Our differential equation used the variables t and y but it's okay, we can just replace the t with an x. So we've got negative 2xy and then when I hit enter, bam, there's my slope field. Okay, that's beautiful. So now I actually took this picture and I put it into my screencast so that way we actually have something we can look at. So depending on what the initial condition is of my differential equation, like let's say for example, I don't know, we're starting down here at negative 1 for whatever reason. So then you can kind of see how these slope fields run. So they kind of are, I don't know, if we start over here they're kind of decreasing, decreasing and then it kind of starts to, oops, that should have been a little bit more at the minimum there, and then it kind of starts to increase, increase, increase. So we've got some kind of a bell shaped curve here. Now let's say my initial condition had been up here in the positive area, like let's say, I don't know, about 1.5 and let me do this in a different color. So let's say my initial condition were up here. So then you can kind of see how my slope field is increasing, increasing, increasing, kind of hits my initial condition and then it's going to start to decrease, decrease, decrease. So we still kind of have that bell shaped curve. Alright, so remember there are infinitely many solutions to this differential equation. It just depends on your initial condition. But the slope field kind of gives us a feel for what the graph is going to end up looking like that is a solution to our differential equation. Alright, using GeoGebra helps a lot. I mean you can do these by hand as well as you'll see in another screencast. But using GeoGebra sure does make it easy. Alright, thank you for watching.


Yn y toffi TV yw'r Eftan News Daily. Nathan Broaddead has joined Sunderland on loan for the season. The 23-year-old who made his debut in the Premier League at Brighton at the end of last season, Amazon, the bench for Eftan's 3-1 win against Southampton at the weekend will join the Sunderland club for the whole season. Hopefully for him, he can settle down and score some goals. He had a really good goal scoring record at the 23-year level last year for Eftan. He had spent some time a couple of years ago a bit and all being on loan as well, where he played more of a wing. He scored three goals in about 20 games, I think they were obviously matured over that time. And it's a great opportunity for him to really kick-start his career. Now 23, he wants to really be putting down some roots and if he goes and does well at Sunderland, there was still a big club despite being in the lower divisions. You know, he can get them back on track, get himself back on track and who knows, you know, could end up being a huge asset to Sunderland, but it's a great opportunity for Nathan and his career. So good luck to him and Sunderland for the season. Another player who may leave Everton this week on loan is Jav Virginia. He is set to join Sport and Lisbon this week. The young goalkeeper will join the Lisbon club for the season. Some Portuguese outlets report that there will be an option to buy at the end of this loan spell as well, which is a little bit surprising when you read that. Virginia, who came on against Burnley last season to make his Premier League debut and also played against Manchester City in the FA Cup quarter-final, defeated and did well. There's only 21 years of age, always thought to be highly rated at Everton, but maybe Everton have decided that if they write off it or if the offer is there, they will allow them to leave for Sport and Lisbon permanently, so we'll have to see how he gets on there, but good luck to Jav hopefully he'll have a good season at Sport. Everton are apparently interested in Shalker striker Matthew Hoppe, the United or Hoppe, the United States striker 20 years of age. It scored six goals in 15 games last season for Shalker and recorded one assist, six foot three inches, so a good size for a centre forward. The favour and £2 million has been mentioned on whether that's a little bit low. I haven't seen a lot of them, so I don't know whether it's... ..it's a good bad indifference, he's certainly got a lot of potential. He wouldn't have thought he'd be one right for now, but who knows, and if he could get him for a round, I don't know, £2 or £3 million could be a good investment moving forward. But again, it won that there would have to be an element of patience over because I'm not convinced he's Premier League ready right now. And finally, Evan under 23s begin their campaign tonight. They are away at Blackburn Rovers, so good luck to those lads. That is it for the news day.
