Alright, so first and foremost, the ROG Falcon is a compact keyboard which actually comes with a protective case on top. This is what they call a polycarbonate case. In English though, that just means a tinted plastic shell with a brushed aluminum design on the front. When you think about it, it's a very inexpensive tool to come with your keyboard which prevents a lot of dust from entering and I'm telling you, like if you've seen my Corsair K70, keyboards in general just rake in so much junk. So as a freebie, this is actually very welcome. An added benefit of the polycarbonate case is that it actually has rubber pads. If you've been watching my reviews of keyboards in the past, I'm very particular when it comes to scratches on my desk and so I need to see rubber pads everywhere just to make sure that everything is going to be alright if I place it on top of my desk. The brushed aluminum case is not flashy which I like because I don't like flashy designs. The cool thing about the case is although it is tinted, you can still see a lot of the RGB lighting pouring out through the case which is pretty cool. So when it's on standby and on your desk, you can still enjoy it. So the ROG Falcon is a small form factor keyboard. When I started gaming when I was like maybe 8 years old, the only thing we knew were these gigantic white big keyboards. And these small form factor keyboards are sort of like a staple now because a lot of people like to get these customized cool looking keyboards that are small as well. So the small form factor keyboard is 30 by 10 inches. It is a familiar looking keyboard. I reviewed the BlitzWolf Bluetooth wireless keyboard some months ago. If I put them right next to each other, it will be very difficult to tell which is which from afar. Of course when you get closer, you'll notice that Republic of Gamers is spelled out on the spacebar and upon closer further inspection, you'll see the ROG logo on the escape button. But other than that, this kind of design is pretty much standard now in terms of wireless keyboards. I wouldn't say that ROG is making a tremendous change in design with this keyboard. However, the ROG Falcon uses a 2.4 gigahertz sensor which is supposed to be dramatically faster in terms of accuracy when you're gaming. So if I was gaming, I would trust the ROG Falcon more when it comes to reaction times, especially in FPS as opposed to if I was using a Bluetooth keyboard. Wires are the bane of a gaming rig's existence. You can have the fanciest toys, but if it's presented in a messy state, then you won't be able to play. At least for me. The less wires you have, the happier the gaming PC is. For the most part, it feels as though the keyboard is plugged into the computer even though it is wireless. And I say for the most part because there have been exceptions in my case. So while the falchion does come with a cool looking plastic case, it does not come with a wrist support. And I think this is absolutely essential. So for the most part, the keyboard is actually quite discreet about its gamerishness on the front part, except for the touch control panel which I'll talk about later. At the bottom of the keyboard, you'll see the ROG logo as well as reflective grills on the same matted black plastic case. But because there's no wrist support, I actually prefer to use the falchion without the extra platform. The keys themselves have a gamerish font, but it's not something that you would instantly notice unless of course you've spent a lot of time with it. Now what sets this small form factor keyboard apart from the Blitzwolf Bluetooth keyboard is number one, this is really meant for gaming. Faster response times because it has that 2.4 GHz dongle. As opposed to Bluetooth. I like that they made the falchion to be something which is meant to be taken with you everywhere.  Which by the way is so what 2005, no one does that anymore. I like that they actually made a cavity in the keyboard where you can place the sensor just in case you actually do want to attend one of those LAN parties. What's also really cool is that you don't need to worry about the sensor falling out or having a hard time maneuvering it into the cavity. Because a rather strong magnet grabs hold of it quite easily. This is definitely a premium way of taking care of something extremely important. If you lose the sensor, you'll only be able to use this keyboard plugged in. The novel thing about this keyboard is the media touch keypad which by default allows you to increase or decrease the volume and stop and play. However, you can actually change this. In order to use the touchpad, you can either use your finger to bring it up to increase volume or to bring your finger down in order to decrease volume. Or you can even tap the very top button or the very bottom button or the middle button and make it do something else. Pretty cool because it actually also syncs with your RGB profile. However, it's not actually as responsive as a physical scroll wheel. It's a hit or miss thing. However, when I use touch screen panel one out of three times, it doesn't register my touch and so it's frustrating that you have to keep tapping it which, you know, for a premium keyboard should not be the case. I want to press it once and know that the PC is going to do what I want it to do. So not only can you program the RGB lighting of the touch control panel, you can also see the battery level of the falchion so you know how much battery there is left. The ROG falchion can be charged by a USB-C. It's in the front of the keyboard alongside the cavity for the sensor. ASUS advertises that the battery life of the falchion is 450 hours and I believe them because after using the falchion for around two months now, it has yet to die on me and I've actually just randomly charged it maybe three or four times during my entire gaming usage of it and there we go. And in case the keyboard does die on you, which by the way, you can program ArmoryCrate to warn you if it's on low-bat, you can plug the keyboard directly into your PC and it can charge while you use it. A number of reviewers have reported that they have no problem whatsoever with the wireless nature of the falchion. However, in my experience, it seems to be picky on what USB port it should be plugged in. It lights up but nothing's happening. Here it was working fine a while ago and let me try it here. Oh, see now it works. I've plugged it directly into my mobile. I've plugged it into a USB extender. I've plugged it into the back of my monitor. I've plugged it into the back of my keyboard, the Corsair K70, which I just lay about. The falchion seems to be rather picky on where the sensor should be plugged in. So even though this should theoretically work in any USB port, I've had it cutting away, for instance in some areas, like it doesn't like being plugged into the extension. Sometimes it does, sometimes it's okay. However, I don't know if it's distance or my faulty motherboard or whatever reason, but it seems to cut out there. So I would not give the wireless nature of this keyboard a perfect score, simply because with the amount of money that you're spending on the falchion, you should have peace of mind that regardless of where the sensor is plugged in, that the keyboard will work perfectly. So although this is a gaming keyboard and it has this fancy 2.4 GHz sensor, it does not have Bluetooth. I think Bluetooth is an important bonus which should have been incorporated into the falchion because the portability of the falchion allows you to be able to do work wherever you are and using whatever you have. For instance, with the Blitzwolf Bluetooth keyboard, I can use the keyboard for an iPad, any kind of tablet, a PC or my laptop or even my phone. And so in that case, a Bluetooth keyboard is more versatile than the ROG falchion, even if of course the Bluetooth keyboard isn't geared towards gaming precision. Nevertheless, if you're going to buy a premium gaming keyboard, you want to be able to make use of it wherever you are using whatever you've got, even if you're not going to be gaming. I mean, because that's the point of the keyboard, you're supposed to enjoy typing on it, whether you'd be typing on it on your phone, your tablet or your laptop or wherever. The falchion comes in Cherry MX switches made in Germany. My specific unit are the Cherry MX Reds. It is unclear to me if the falchion comes in different colored switches because based on their site, there should be four kinds of switches. However, I only see the Cherry MX Red versions being sold globally. Let me know in the comment section below if you've been able to buy the falchion in different switches. Here's how the Cherry MX Red switches sound like. A very handy feature is that the RGB profiles sync wirelessly as well. This is extremely welcome because if you need to plug it in in order to fully enjoy all the aspects of this keyboard, then it wouldn't be truly wireless. The Armory Crate software which I have discussed in the past is simple to use and I have never encountered any problems with it with respect to syncing with any of my prior ASUS products. It comes with all the basic RGB features you could think of. You can program the falchion to retain six RGB profiles even when it's away from the computer, something to keep in mind for those LAN parties which will never happen or if you plan on going to a coffee shop with your laptop computer and wish to use this instead. Remember, the falchion won't work at all with an iPad or any other device which doesn't have a USB support. Just as long as you have these RGB profiles saved into your falchion, you won't need the Armory Crate program to activate the RGB. You can instead press function and arrow keys to switch between profiles on the fly. So that laptop you bring to the coffee shop doesn't need to carry Armory Crate itself. The falchion retails locally in the Philippines for 7,700 pesos while it retails in the United States for $150. This is definitely a lot of money for a keyboard, especially a keyboard which isn't a complete one. As someone who isn't into compact keyboards, this is something that isn't meant for me as I really cannot stomach having to press function and then zero if I want to press F10. The extra steps for me are maddening. In conclusion, the Armory Crate falchion is a good looking, albeit familiar compact keyboard which improves the look of your gaming setup by minimizing on clutter but at the cost of occasional hardware hiccups. Your experience may vary when it comes to the keyboard cutting out. What I can say is that when it finds a port that it likes, it will work as promised for the most part. The touchscreen side panel might be one of the best reasons to get the falchion if you are into compact keyboards because it adds additional functionality on such a small surface. However, bear in mind you may find that the touch panel may not be as responsive as actual keys. Cherry MX switches are always wonderfully fun to type on and to game with. And finally, the case cover is a major plus in its favor which makes me wonder why other premium keyboard companies aren't providing similar ones. At the end of the day, we are given the RG falchion a 7 out of 10 for being gorgeous and handy but at the cost of occasional wireless cutting. We would have given the falchion a higher rating had it been priced within the $5,500 or $40 range. With all that said however, I must say that ever since I began using the falchion I've had this illogical desire to want one simply because I love waking up in the morning and looking at the case before removing it to start my day. If you're a keyboard nut, you may want to look more into the falchion. And you want to give a special shout out to our top fans, Dom H, Liam Magnae, Ian Meru, Richard Ongkinko, IDX Addict, John Oscia, and Christian Espinosa. Again, thank you so much for all your support and for tuning in to our live stream. I see a lot of you. Till next time guys!

And whither so ever he entered into villages or cities or country, they laid the sick in the streets and besought him that they might touch if it were, but the border of his garment. And as many as touched him were made whole. I love the way the Scripture words that, as many as touched him were made whole. And the wonderful reality is that Jesus still heals today. Nowhere in all of Scripture does it teach that Jesus has stopped working miracles. Everything Jesus was anointed to do while here on the earth, the Holy Spirit continues to do for and through us. There's no trick to it. There's no formula, no method, no special approach. It's just the healing power of God meeting simple faith. So reach out in faith and touch him. All it takes is a single touch from the hand of Jesus to make you whole. That same mighty power which flowed to the very body of Jesus, that same healing virtue still rushes like a river today. Jump into the river of healing.


on configuring it to all our collective ideas or problems. It should be a brainstorming talk to set up a presentation because the presentation we already did. Yes, all right. Do you need to be running Debian in order to make Debian Live CD? Not exactly. You need a shell and you need a CD bootstrap. And a CD bootstrap has a factory binary. That means as long as you execute that, you don't have a shell and it's going to be everywhere. Okay. I'm running Ubuntu. Ubuntu is anyway no problem. Yeah. And I previously made a Live CD with just gnome sword. Yeah, I'd like to see. Maybe you know the answer already. Would it be smaller if I rolled it in Debian than it would be in gnome? Gnome is like a desktop environment. You can rip it out and it'll get a lot smaller. I mean, based on Debian, it's only like what? 100 megs or something? 100 megs. Yeah. Okay. But I want to run gnome sword. So I have gnome. What's gnome sword? Sword. Because it takes down the users gnome. Oh, yeah. If you just need one package and you go standard, if you only need one additional package, except for low-level stuff to boot, then you set a standard and say one package smaller. And then we use that as always. And this goes in all the way with the package. So you don't need to, as long as you stay with Debian, you don't have to choose a choice to say, I don't want that no package or that no package. Because as soon as you select one, you get automatically all the right depends booting anyway. So this could be easy for you. But you started. I'm lower than that. You started higher. You started with just use the standard package. I don't know, you know, how to do that. Every Debian package has a priority. That can be extra or optional or expired. Yeah, that's more kind of, yeah. And there is a type which means essential. And if a package is essential, you need it in order to boot. Okay. Except for what I'm asking you.  Wait, I want to explain you what you have, why you have it to boot. Then I'll tell you how to boot. Yeah, okay. So what you need is just the standard selection for each package of priority standard or highly. That's what you need for the basic system that it boots and that you can use network. Yeah, okay. And then you take this collection and you say, give me an additional package which is known so. Yeah. And then as I put in all the required package, you don't care about them because they are just weekends. They are cool things. So you do co-made life with like P. And dash P is standard to select the standard list which you need. And then dash dash package and for example known so. And that's all. What about getting just one example on the project? Yes, yes. It's pretty. If you want to do the same example so you can just order and store live help from live.dev.net. It's very good for you. You can use my... Yeah. What do you want to use? Okay. We have a big good charge. How much is it? A big what? A big font. Oh. Well, I got an expert, a font expert sitting right next to me. What are you going to do? Anyone with specific questions or other? But it's not moving. Can you build a live CD that's also active in the store? So you can... Yeah, well... So you can run it in the store and also run... Sorry, sorry. It's not working. It's not working. It's not working. It's not working. It's not working. It's not working. That's very nice. That's no problem. You can install that I... Yeah, sorry. I got a demo running here of a live thing that I made earlier and it's basically for the Japanese people. We don't have any Japanese people here. So it's got extra packages like for Japanese fonts and things like this and the keyboard switcher. The switcher comes up down here on the bottom right, so they can change between who we're going to and can't take the prano or whatever it's called. Do you have a config at all? Sure. And I do have the config, the config is in svn.dev.net. It's all pretty software on the subversion repository.  Yes, with some of the configurations are in the subversion. There's my configurations and Daniel's configurations and they're a very good starting point. Because they actually work. To start a new project you could just make live config. These builds are the full configuration tree that you can navigate. If you have installed a live helper you could try these right now and look at the tree. The tree should be some sort of easy to navigate and config the configuration files of the four phases. The bootstrap phase has a very complete file, so you can customize the bootstrap phase. And you could customize the chip through the building phase. The binary phase is what we use to create the final image. So an easy image. Or USB image. Yes. Or a network image. The network turbo is constructed of two directories. One to easily configure the server you would like to use to distribute those network images. And the other part is the root fs. That as a default it is for the network system as a plain directory. So no compressive file. No file image. Just a bunch of files that you would put on your server. Some things that you could need to prepare a custom system. Our custom boot screens. When you boot up CD you can put a whole load of cheap codes which are documented somewhere on the wiki page probably. Like this one cheap code which is called 2RAM which basically loads the CD into memory. And once it's all booted up you can take the CD out and boot it onto another machine with the 2RAM option and use the CD and boot another machine. So instead of having the machine in there all the time you can take the CD out which is good for some like kiosks.  And it runs a lot faster from there. Yeah it runs a lot faster now. I'm going to do it right now. But it does take a little bit of time to copy into it right now. I think there's a reasonable thing. So the initial printout takes a few minutes. Like a minute longer than it should be. Not for sure anymore. This is pretty quick though. The USB version is like one minute to load. It's just a USB flash team. Yeah probably. I haven't got the artist experience to do it. It's a nice artwork. Really a splash paint. So yeah. The boot parameters are important. Parts of the arguments especially with these things. If you're trying right now and those make life of big and stuff and have some questions about how to do your particular custom live. It's pretty easy to do your own splash image and stuff. You've all done that before. So you take Pacifica. What do you think you're doing? Well I know Holger did some work on the live CD from he gave it to you. For the easy things, I think it was just as hard to practice. I'm a little controversial. For a hard part, which would make it a lot more useful is to provide different profiles for live images from the same image. So you have like a server live image and a client live image. Good thing for the same image. We can do that. But as most of the things in live artwork, it's just a lack of time. I think that our first approach is partial images on the same media. We just need to tell live artwork to create those in automatic fashion. At the moment it's a matter of priority. I tried last week to fix the output but because of lacking hardware I couldn't finish it. So next week I finished this and afterwards I moved on to the next step. And it's somewhere on my to-do list, somewhere in the middle. So that means two weeks from now, maybe three weeks. But you could build it some sort of manually now. And a live image that will look for a module.config file. The exact name is on the main page. There are a list of which different file images should be put together. So you could provide on the same media different lists for different boot methods. And if you use group grab as boot loader, you could do different boot with different boot parameters that tell live artwork in NITRA MFS to look at different files. That means different lists and different results of the root FS. Yes, as I said the code to do that automatically, let's build a site that is in working progress. It will be finished. But those live in NITRA MFS thing could open the road to also multi-arch and all different boot types on the same media. The long time for LENI is to have at the same time when LENI ISO schedule is that we have a double NITID which offers live sessions for XR86, NG64, PowerPC at the same time with all three desktops including source which makes it... And of course the possibility to install these best practices and then have the alternative disk want to get away. And hopefully when LENI gets released, do all the activities actually. So, yes.  Even an edge. So, if you're going to make the device in our city and put the people using it, I've got a good chance I think of getting the working system going pretty quickly. X working, sound working. And if you're not happy with the default X detection from the XOR practice, you can actually install extra configurator which is doing a slightly better job. It can configure X during good so it will work for live series and actually it's default in LTSP. Actually it's prepped. But we don't use it as default because we don't want to diverge from dabbing by default. We offer all the fancy stuff we can never imagine but by default we do only dab parts which dabbing of us are default too. Otherwise it will create another distribution and we don't want to do that. But now if you install XDabConf on your target system, when the Inetram FS is generated, you look for the presence of XDabConf and if present it puts it on the Inetram FS then you could activate it with the boot parameters. So if your city does not boot X on a particular machine, you could try also the XDabConf way. Well, it depends on your point of view. As far as I can see, it's part of StabVenny. It's the main but it's not connected by default. Because no one actually has time to integrate all the code. And for Venny it's probably going to be a waste because XOR is going to do it automatically on its own. So hopefully we can get rid of the entire configuration part. Hopefully. Yeah, so we would like to integrate all the things that could lead to prepare complete DVD for giving out the boot at the events. So we could have live DVD, multi-art, live DVD with installer, live system and maybe also with your PSL. Something valuable for Windows users. So they could build a DVD or CD inside their machine and something happens that shows the power of that. You're just working on that? He has. Basically providing a small auto-run stuff from the first people where they have millions of games. I want to run the system in a virtual machine. So I'm just going to wait. This is a big one and this is going to be slow because it's human. Well, I was thinking of doing a goodbye Windows but it dumped the answer to the Windows file system and editing the menu. It can be an option. Could you look at it before running? It's easy to have the open office, firebox, fireplace or the university.  No, it's about just copying QMU for Windows. So people... So this menu coming in says I want to run a system and live CD in a QMU machine. So I don't even have to reboot my machine to test it. I'll try to reboot that. Do you know when <IP_ADDRESS>.<IP_ADDRESS>.<IP_ADDRESS>.<IP_ADDRESS> when <IP_ADDRESS>.<IP_ADDRESS>.<IP_ADDRESS>.<IP_ADDRESS>.<IP_ADDRESS>.<IP_ADDRESS>.0.0.0. This is a small Windows file. You click on it, and it downloads the main install image and computes your booting on Windows. You restart and it puts into the disk. I mean, for instance, because you need to have the partitions, etc. We must have to say, we have an image, we have a city, so we don't need any partitions. If you do the same as the life city, you get the windows along, which means windows for a lot of love, and eventually a lot of people say, my fancy life city, and it's around the nature's peak. That was the point I wanted to point out. The only disadvantage of a life city is that you have to be good and good. Which I personally think works. I'm going to do that, I'm going to try that, I think. I think it's about getting the best opportunity for windows to self-imprive. A good world of people. I don't think it's an attribute by default, but maybe some people doing a life city would want to have it. My question was actually, what's your opinion about not doing a life city? Because it's easier, because you don't have to be good. Yes, because getting into the fire city could be scary. No, you don't have to go into the fire city with windows only. Yes, like the one. We have also a new parameter that does half of the work for it. But also, instead of to run, we could use to disk, echo, some partition, and the live media is copied on the partition. So if we just have the code to integrate the windows with loader, and to load that, they could choose from the windows with loader, which kind of system they want to do. The live system from their disk partition. Live in it around FS is not really here for writing on an FS media, because we need to use a fuse. And when changing the route, we need to protect the fuse, which is a user process to be killed before launching the new unit. So there are some tricky points that need to be fixed. The read part, it's okay, because we could use the NTFS kernel module. So we don't need a user process for having a partition mounted or an image file mounted. I think you were both speaking about something completely different. And what we were speaking about is that Robert asked some months ago if I could look at his windows loader. I regard to the windows loader. And I'm pretty sure he will add, as soon as we have the ISOs on, I'm pretty sure he will add an entry, so that he can choose do I want to download and install for this cool entry. Then I think the windows loader is a bit of size. So I think for windows we could use the almost thesis version. You just have to enable software that does that. Now that's changed with the scene. So you just have to reboot his computer to run it. Yes. And even if it's a very good screen, it's like... It's something that I wanted to do with the windows loader. You probably have to reboot the machine if it's still in KMU. No? No? Why would you? This is Windows, right? You install something once you reboot it. You don't have to install it. It's exactly like in Linux. If you don't want... You don't have to install KMU. Just in a minute. Anyway, it's not bad to reboot it. And if you don't, you can just run it. What did you say? You just have bad view of windows. I'm sure it's company since the last use of it. Open it a bit. There are more people because of the speed of running QN instead of... I think you have to have quite a while to say it's going to be installed from the city and because it's in a virtual machine. Anyway, there's some exciting developments and there's a whole lot of ways that people can get on Derby now thanks to Derby Live. Especially because the windows loader is probably integrated on the Linux. That's the most easy way to integrate it because it will be anyway pushed. But we need to tell about the issues because that's the good words because at the good time it's not only looking for CDs. Live in e-trum has scans for all what devices. So also updates and USB keys to look for a particular enabled directory which contains one or more file images. So this is why that solution to work also without the CDs. We need just to batch the windows with lawyers to do that. I don't think that's an issue. No, it's not an issue. It's just for letting the most of the people... Maybe, if... Just try and see. It might be just interesting... If you include it in the main side of the photo group it's not going to do anything anymore. So use a magnet from two houses on which... A magnet has a space to copy the files. Two questions. First of all, a big problem for school linux the magnetic building of the live CDs is that they didn't need to be done as we did and this is really, really... on that. So if it's possible to get it done through to a changeable system to avoid with a piece of paper, we need ideas for that. The problem is that you need to... The problem is that it doesn't work as we... If we don't actually need to work it's possible to go to a different work. I had asked Bastian some time ago but he didn't do something back and it wasn't so important for me to... have the L button again and it would be really nice if you could have see a good step with the flag, no croc or whatever and then you can run it as you use it. As soon as you can do that you can build a secure and a changeable whatever just for the changeable thing you can see. And everything else doesn't need to be so... I'm really looking forward that Bastian can implement that. This is a problem present with... I don't use the bootstrap for similar reasons why is that it has more bugs than the bootstrap for my part of the build. It does not create a full static depth directory you can't compile bashing it for example and for me it's very important that you can run life help anywhere where you have a shell and the bootstrap is static running and the bootstrap is not that portable as the static running route. That's why I didn't try to see a bootstrap so much. Maybe you know it can be used without having it. I don't know. The boss needs to mount routes within the changeable out of the box without touching it needs to mount more from within the changeable. It depends on how front mount you say. No, I say that out of the box you would need to patch it as well to make it work. But it's bash code so it's easier.  The bootstrap was just added to the even in-store under a sub-version repository so there is more people capable of modifying it and the last 24 hours have seen that level of patches being both from the boot and from other people that has been waiting for a poster I think. So it could be possible and for another even in-store we actually had to rewrite quite a lot of tools to be able to build it without bootstrap solution. But the M-tools suite has really really cool texture work of the files that are requiring the viruses and all these kind of things. So it's important to change the tools if the tools is a problem and being able to build without boot is quite important for the project. The other question I have is whether you're building a live system it's useful to be able to restore local configuration if you make an app server and you want to be able to store the other information somewhere can you store it on a USB stick or whatever storage area can you for example make a small additional other store changes to the live system there? Okay it is already supported in four different different manners in the live in-train methods there is also a small utility which is I'm not which have many targets that are not all tests but basically there are the persistent feature that means that your union FS is based over the collection of redone if a system is run in standard builds and the standard way is the space system and the RAM disk that gives the read write persistence means that instead of using a RAM disk we use another partition or image file on a red table block device so all changes made to the boot system you could stop the cases they are all persistent on that device if you could bring this device with yourself you could boot it on another machine and have your system as it were working before this persistence but have some problems with the USB keys that have a fixed number of writing possible so we also have a snapshot type of persistence which doesn't touch the union FS the union FS is done like the standard way with the RAM disk but at your requirements or at reboot or else fix copy the difference between copy the RAM disk in fact which contains the difference between the system that you use and the read only part of it on a red table device partition image file or this EIO archive squash FS file both are the two systems the first system is with read only media like read table series with multi-session you could add more squash FS files on the boot side on the boot image by adding a session you could add your difference as you previous run of the system on it so you could launch your own system, customize it have those changes fixed on a compressed put on the CD again in a multi-session type or just remaster another one with two files and then you could have those difference recorded for future users how easy is it to enable is it like you plug in a USB pin and it asks do you want to store the state of this pin or do you have to run the house and square design it is a work in progress my idea was to have a small buoy to do that I just wrote a shell script to do that it is called live dash snapshots but it is a little buggy for some targets when it is complete I will add a buoy so the user could just click on her sink or a snatcher tip and the buoy asks from some parameters like where or if we try my idea is also to try auto-detector which would be the most probably USB stick partition to do the snatcher tip in I think we would need a very simple solution for final users it should be simple yes so make sure you run and I can use it did you explain all the following just click here it is okay just another question it is possible to have some data but it is filled with data and put it on the LCD for instance can you regulate a little bit more actually sorry for asking about USB really it only seems to work on new machines so that is something very mild it is pretty cool to do that from the USB but it won't work on old machines basically but by any new machine it will be quite old you might sometimes get away with virus upgrades or you could just put those current images and the Emitra Mathes from other media and then the Emitra Mathes is cons and USB to show you that you can have a floppy to stick in and so on are there any more working on the feature like you use the windows out the room you just plug in the USB stick it loads everything in the room and you can do it from there Emitra doesn't sport you as easily yes something asked me about QNU it is slow but just take over the machine and pop some yes but these things are fast like you can put an engine x40 and have a useful system so it is pretty cool and the room is fast of course you could partition your USB with only parts and a right table part you might use for your differences the partition or the image file on the USB sticks have a particular name it is at full time it will be recognized and we try to add it as a persistent system or as an action system then all the things that are recognized at full time when you reboot or add we are thinking back so your grandmother if you prepare the stick well could use without picking anywhere right now not only the targets targets for a snapshot of persistence are the different way you could store those information the different way are wall partition I am an image file of a partition that resides on another partition also windows 1 a CPIO compressor with the zip file and the squash effects so you have four different targets that could be used to store the difference and the live snapshot helper which is a simple snapshot script is not yet well-desked so it may be some but you are all encouraged to try it and report why so many options? because we had some different people needed different features and we imagined different scenarios those live systems were used by people who need to put from the network people need to access those systems those differences in other systems those need a very small system so the archive doesn't need a lot of dependency to work it could be used by a very small system the other types needed more models or utilities like squash effects type needed to have squash effects tools installed on the live system otherwise you cannot proceed back when shutdown or halted so we just put in all the stuff required we hope for the bugs to emerge and fix them back to Andreas and your questions as you know the live helper is important and you would need to know which one to run in order because it's really sad we have a radical you can use main tag with parameters like pkd kd desktop this builds you an image with kd desktop ask bird questions if you for example want to specify the mirror you would do this we're going to want to install the knowns to kd so it all works like this you use parameters and it just works if you need more you can call it in two steps which is similar to aww yeah not yet tested on the won't do that much the same result as calling lx conflict alone then you get this directory which is about every night conflict directory and in this directory there are a lot of conflicts as you see there are for each stage there is an individual conflict like finding a new step changing the common source for individual helpers you have conflict directory the most important ones are if you have a list of packages you want like I don't know doodle dwm or similar and you don't want to specify them always in this manner this works as you know it gets you a very long common line so you use conflict files for this and then you would do you would do this and you can add a whole bunch of individual conflict files and all these packages stated in these files are installed in your chain route that's the alternative way of using common line options to make them the same as you see here for example in chain route you can specify all those dirty options for example which chain route files you want to use in the image if you want to compress the image then you can use the spatial files if you want the x the second example files you can put it there or you can use plain files not compressed just copied interactives for debugging if you want some books also works you can add your funny package here that's also the same if you just have one more you can select one of one of a selected list shake it lists are in user let's say junior and you see it includes GNOME junior packages and junior GNOME packages which packages these are exactly so if you just want GNOME you don't care you just give me packages GNOME and you end up with GNOME you don't need to specify them and in the case you said before you just wanted GNOME sort yeah there is another package and it's in a bar it's called GNOME sort.dev how's it stand it really don't just GNOME sort all over like this no dash in the middle okay that's available so you would just do a fresh configuration and add in the file a better change route you would do this once you have made everything you can either call each stage of one means something like this or because you are lazy you would just do this do that now that I have messed up with the conflict specified strange options don't remove stuff I have ruined I can do everything it's also fast in your case I would ask I would add desktop task because it's the most useful now it runs you wait 10 minutes however you find your machine and you end up with a nice image it's pretty easy space in time there should be space I should work while it's built in what was that life security variable and security updates mentioned in some places it doesn't make sense in some other places it doesn't make sense to have security updates from the security repository yes it just says that it doesn't include the 50 smears if they are confident another thing is you can use you can disable app security in some cases if you want to build really small images you don't want to have no pgp otherwise you end up with a couple of deep heads and if you want to go below 50 megabytes you have to exclude it for some users this is important because they really need small images and that's why lifehackers support it although normal users should not do that is it possible to still get security updates without installing gpg or something like that those are two internet instances the one thing is that you can verify the release pass with the valid gpg signature and that doesn't have anything to do with if you use security repository or not what would be a case when it is okay to build ISO image with no security I don't know about other people but I personally do not care security at all that means for testing an image I don't care about security updates that's why I exclude it internal option what my question was if I have an application that has created database so how can I how do I open a new tab here open a new tab open a new tab what do you want new tab control shift and end end okay as you can see now you see the actual change route is change route print and that's where all the stuff is and if you look in the conflict directory we have this directory named change route local includes if you're done this is considered the route of the includes if you want to fuck up the system even this yeah you would do this then you would overwrite your pass pass yeah just sorry not edge ETC it's just a route everything you pull in there gets copied over to there with full pass so it must create the path the same with binary local includes there is a similar directory for including things on the live media live media means the easing agent maybe or the QMU autoboom autoboom you put it there yeah and the great thing about this is that you just need this configuration directory you can trash everything you have as long as you have this directory you can always review the image and you can easily switch between different distributions if you select in change route the distributions yeah that's it at the moment we default to edge so that by default users end up with a usable system if you change that to any if it's a set or language and that's really easy because if you remember back to knopics, remaster or whatever you can do that you always need to start again from scratch and here you have the easy possibility to switch between releases and keep to conflict the same it works even if you want to you could also proceed the packages at the big time they will be configured for the final images build so you could proceed the file with that kind of questions as per the how you like and have the system configured not in the default way but in a custom but this is not the the one that has all the live series is completely developed the historical context is this in the first was to enable the root of with only media take all the package so we took this because the design took this to Debian and after sometimes we had to double prefer because it was really hard to manage patches and now thinking from the point is easier than thinking from Debian the build system at the time we started in spring 2006 they were not allowed to show their build system that's why we had to implement a live helper the basically it works the same way frankly spoken Debian might as last part but it works the same way that's the way that they have it it works the same way but it works the same way it works Ubuntu has an installer application which you can point on your desktop and it's uncompressed as the squash as an image to a hard disk partition and that's some questions like time zone or passwords or whatever and the problem about this is that it's a third application you have it's not integrated in the I we didn't want to go that way to import an additional installer in Debian and with the great work of Otavio he did in a speak the first start of it is already committed to the IREC means in future you can just put in a Debian CD and depending if it's a live CD you will end up with a live CD on the hard disk and if it's a normal system it affects the package from the internet or from the CD if it's a full CD but from the user point of view you don't see any difference and that's the way to go because then you have order one it's all to support you when this finish this and I make the live CD how many language options will the user have we do not strict the packages means you have the same as you would have 200 and something different languages by default we did not specify a root parameter that's why the default is English if you add a language that equals for example DE then known will be automatically start with German with German keywords and so on this is nice because you do not first you do not articulate which is good and second you have always the possibility to change the language with one CD you can go somewhere take it to your holidays and depending who wants to work with you this thing has the right languages the bad point about this that it takes of course more space if someone wants to strict that yes in the directory change with local books here you can put in as many scripts as you want those scripts are executed they can be in every whatever language the change would execute most of you is passionate you could go for example that would be on the boot screen when it comes up if I change root local books and add several more languages these will all be choices on the boot screen no because we do not display the GDM for selection if you want that you can add no X and then it goes directly to GDM instead of auto same for console we do not have an auto level maybe 3 users one called live user and there is one for french people and the third user for spanish people you just have to switch but what do you need to do to have many users and I want to have this demo in french and it is french user you need to use your books for that they are not on the boot to configure more than one user with different kind of locators and so on to provide a script to that now just have to create a script to write the script put in those change root auto books will be executed on the change root at the end of the starting phase so you could have an opportunity to do some spec magic on your system before the binary images will be built a bit tricky possible yes but we cannot imagine all the user's cases without a helper I want to comment that I don't like the approach of putting every locale on the cd image because it can get really messy and I prefer to build isos for smaller the exact right fonts there and the people don't have to choose a keyboard to protect the spanish user I have a spanish friend I moved the complexity from like building and building the system to choosing the right cd some user that doesn't actually well, you have content negotiation on the website go to spanish download it's hard to make a mistake school in the spanish area in new york used ok I think it's pretty easy to choose the right cd and in use it's really easy ok, time is out tape is out


The 2022 annual Southeastern Kentucky Chamber Awards night is September 27th. For tickets call<PHONE_NUMBER>. You can also watch live on the free Mountain Top TV app. On Saturday, September 24th, the Floyd County and Johnson County Health Departments are partnering to administer free flu shots at KSP's way station in East Point. Each department has 100 vaccines and the event will be held from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Yeah, so we know that, you know, COVID kind of highlighted public health preparedness. We have always had a good preparedness team, but we feel like we need to have a more robust preparedness. You know, and the big highlight too is workforce development. So we are trying to get our staff exposed to what may happen. Ellis encourages those wanting immunization to attend, especially parents of small children and babies. We will let you know that we are doing six months and above as long as it's safe. Of course, you don't want to give baby a shot in the car where it's not safe. So as long as it's safe and the child cooperates, we will be doing six months and above. We start at 10, ends at 2, over until we run out. Reporting from Mountain Top News, I'm Nick Column.


When falling a tree, an effective plan, properly executed, will be beneficial in getting the tree to fall where you want and protect yourself and others around you. Based on the information that I looked at at this tree, I looked for overhead hazards and surrounding hazards. I've determined the lean to be forward and to the right. My scaper up is going to be off in that direction. Based on the size and shape of this tree, I've determined that the length of the hinge is going to be about 12 inches. The width of the hinge is going to be about an inch and a quarter.  I'm also going to do a plunge cut or a bore cut to establish my back cut. In doing that, I'll plunge the saw through the tree. It'll come out this side. I'll cut forward to establish my hinge. I'll cut to the back and leave about an inch and a half to two inches of wood holding in the back. I'll place a wedge in this side, make my release cut, and escape. To get the tree to fall where I want it to fall, I'm going to use an open-face notch, which means the opening of the notch is 70 degrees or greater. I'm going to establish that cut by first doing the sloping cut. When I'm doing that cut, I'm also establishing the direction I'd like the tree to fall. When I finish that cut, I'll stop and check the aim and make sure it's proper. If I need to change it, I'll do the changing at that time. I'll make another cut to re-aim the tree. The second cut of the notch is the undercut or the sloping cut, or the horizontal cut, is the second cut of the notch. I'm going to put the saw up against the tree and pivot it in. When I turn my body, I'll be able to see all the way across inside the very first cut that I made. Tree falling! I need to know the reactive forces of the saw chain on the guide bar. When I'm cutting with the top of the bar, the saw is pushed back towards me, so this is a push force. When I cut with the bottom of the bar, the saw is pulled away from me, so this is pull. The upper corner of the guide bar tip is a kickback corner. You never want to start a cut or use that part of the tip to establish our cutting. The bottom part of the tip we could plunge or bore cut with and cut with, and there's very little difference between the two, so when I start my plunge cut, I'm going to start with the bottom part of the tip with the saw at full throttle. In our initial plan, we wanted to establish a hinge that's about 12 inches long based on the size of the tree, and this wedge is 12 inches, and as you can see, we're at 12 inches, so we can continue on with our cutting. When I start my back cut, I want to be able to see all the way across the notch, so as I don't cut the hinge off. When I start my back, my plunge cut, I'm going to bore in, and I'm going to push the saw through the tree and come out over in this corner, and not try to establish the inch and a quarter hinge on the very first cut. About an inch to an inch and a half. At this point, I can take a look around and make sure that nobody's entered the cutting area and give another yell, a warning shout if I need to. Down the hill! We should come back and look at our stump and evaluate how well we did to our establish. We wanted the 12 inch hinge, which we already checked. We wanted an inch and a quarter hinge, which we've established, and our back cut is level. With an open-faced notch, I can create my back cut at the point where the notch cuts meet above or even below. I hope this helps you to be more effective and safer in tree filming.


Okay folks, Larry Pesavento with the mid-afternoon update for TFNN. We've got two stock index futures up. We've got the S&P up and also the NASAC, which will never go down. And then also we have the Dow Jones and the Russell a little bit lower. We've got gold sharply higher, much is expected, crude oil lower, much is expected. The dollar has actually weakened just slightly, but still in the range of very strong bull market. The other thing that is happening that seems to be of interest to everyone is the fact that the NASDAQ, which I posted here on the weekly chart, has exploded to the upside. Indivia became the first $1 trillion chip company, so I imagine that's a lot of money since it's like Amazon and also like Apple. The other thing is that we have those other stocks that are related to AI, Microsoft and also Amazon were also higher. AI seems to be the buzzword of the day as we go along and look at these things. Our guests at the break will be Rich Anderson of Anderson Capital Management. We've got the grains sharply lower, beans down 36, corn down 13, wheat down 20 and the hot weather did not come. The weather pattern changed on Saturday and that meant when Sunday came and Monday, that meant the market sold off and it sold off considerably. We were sort of expecting that, so we're going to find out whether it's going to be working or not. But the main thing is the fact that this NASDAQ has exploded. We haven't seen a vertical rise like this from my opinion since the dot-com bubble when things have jumped as much as they have or they have just really, really skyrocketed. But from what I understand, it's a new era in computers and also it's supposed to be, John Jameson told me that it was a break, such a breakthrough that it was just as equal to the web browser when it was first introduced way back in the early 90s. So it is a big deal, how high it's going to go from those levels, so we'll have to wait and see. One thing we want to do though is we want to give you some great information here today and so stay tuned for trade what you see,<PHONE_NUMBER>.


Hello, hello. Pinkie and I have a story to tell you. It's called The Big Red Lollipop. And it's written by Rexana Khan and illustrated by Sophie Blackall. And that's the first page there. You see a bag with goodies in it, including a Big Red Lollipop. The story goes like this. I am so excited. I run all the way home from school. Birthday party. There's going to be games and toys, cake and ice cream. Can I go? Sana screams, I want to go too! Ami says, what's a birthday party? It's when they celebrate the day they were born. Why do they do that? They just do. Can I go? There's a picture of the family. Sana screams, I want to go too! So here's Sana screaming, I can't take Sana. She's not invited. Ami says, why not? They don't do that here. Ami says, well, that's not fair. You call up your friend and ask if you can bring Sana or else you cannot go. But Ami, they'll laugh at me. They'll never invite me to another party again. Sana screams, I want to go too! And here she is imagining her friends. I say, look Sana, one day you'll get invited to your own friends parties. Wouldn't you like that better? No, I want to go now! You can really see how she's digging in her heels. I beg and plead, but Ami won't listen. I have no choice. I have to call. Sally says, alright, but it doesn't sound alright. I know she thinks I'm weird.  Sana has to win all the games. And when she falls down during musical chairs, she cries like a baby. Can you see Sana? There she is. Crying and there's her big sister.  Inside there are chocolates and candies, a whistle, a ruby wing and a big red lollipop. Sana eats her big red lollipop on the way home in the car. I save mine for later. Sana doesn't know how to make things last. By bedtime, her candies are all gone, her whistle is broken and the ruby in her ring is missing. I put my big red lollipop on the top shelf of the fridge to have in the morning. All night long I dream about how good it will taste. In the morning I get up early to have it. Sana's already up. When she sees me, she runs away. I open the fridge door. All that's left of my lollipop is a triangle stuck to a stick. Sana! You can see in the pictures how the big sister is chasing the little sister around. I hear a sound in the front hall closet. I should have known that's where she always hides. I shove aside the coats and boots. I'm going to get you quick as a rat. She scoots through my legs and runs around in a round-of-living room. The dining room, in the kitchen, and yells, rubbing her eyes. Sana runs behind Ami, where I can't get her. What's going on here? says Ami. Sana says, Rubina's trying to get me. Ami puts her hands on her hips. Are you trying to get your little sister again? She ate my lollipop, that greedy thing. She ate it. Ami says, For shame is just a lollipop. Can't you share with your little sister? I want to cry, but I don't. Sana runs to the fridge and brings back the triangle stuck to the stick. Look, I didn't eat all of your lollipop. I left the triangle for you. See? says Ami. She didn't eat all of it. She's sharing with you. Go ahead, take the triangle. So I have to take it. I ate the triangle, but I don't. With all of my might, I throw it across the room. It skitters under the sofa. Sana scurries after it and eats that, too. The worst thing is that all the girls at school know that if they invite me to their birthday parties, I have to bring Sana. I don't get any invitations for a very long time. Then one day Sana comes home waving an invitation. Ami, I've been invited to a birthday party. There's going to be games and toys and cake and ice cream. Can I go? Our little sister Maryam screams, I want to go, too. Sana says, No, I can't take her. She's not invited. Ami says, Well, it's only fair. You went to Rubina's friend's party. And now Rubina and Maryam can go to your friend's party. I say, Leave me out of it. Ami says, Fine, then you have to take Maryam. There's Maryam and there's Sana. There's Ami. There's Rubina. Now it's Sana's turn to beg and plead. Ami won't listen. Sana's begging so hard she's crying. But still, Ami won't listen. I could just watch her have to take Maryam. I could just let her make a fool of herself at that party. I could just let her not be invited to any more parties. But something makes me tap Ami on the shoulder. What? Don't make Sana take Maryam to the party. No, says Ami. No, I say. Ami thinks for a moment, then says, OK. So Sana gets to go by herself. After the party, I hear a knock on my door. What do you want? I ask Sana. Here, she hands me a big green lollipop. This is for you. Thanks, I say. And after that, we are friends. What do you think of that, Pinky? Do you like green lollipops or red ones? Or maybe you just like having a sibling to play with. Sometimes it's not easy with our brothers and sisters and siblings at home. But that's how we learn to share and learn to work things out. All right, I hope you liked this story. And if you want to read it at home again, it's called Big Red Lollipop.


Things are building very well here for Qatar on the road to 2022 the opportunities that they're taking through the partnership that they have with Interpol to bring in expertise to assist them in understanding good practices for major event safety and security planning and also policing for major international sporting event as well as providing them with assurance in terms of the planning that they are conducting and continue to conduct I think is an invaluable experience for them to give them some confidence that they're on the right track and also to provide them with the opportunity to adjust their planning where required to make sure that they deliver a fantastic and safe and secure event come 2022.


But there have been significant changes in the last year, and when I want to start out on some of those changes, and the first one I want to tell you about is, yes, I am now a floater. And I have been floating more times this year than I've been in pools and spas combined. And I've told some of you that very first float was so dramatic when I got out and walked out to the parking lot and sat in the car, I had to stop and think about whether or not I was in the moment enough to drive a motor vehicle on a highway. And before I got on the interstate, I hit quick trip and got a Dr. Pepper with extra sugar just to make sure that I could stay within the marker. And I can't even make up lies that good. That was my experience. One float, I'm in. Sorry, you can't get rid of me now. But I'm going to do like I did last year.  And I'm going to do some things that I always do. One thing that I've never done before is recycle five or six slides and the first few slides are going to be recycled from last year because not at all you saw some of those last year. And it's fundamental concepts that we need to understand about disinfection and sanitization to keep our customers safe, our staff safe and the Department of Health out of our businesses. But I am not wearing a black shirt this year. What we want, customers, our friends, our international relations, do not be fooled. The pants are still black. The doom and gloom of running your business into the ground and exposing you to legal peril that you cannot imagine is there if you are not paying attention to what I am going to talk about for the next 30 minutes. Okay.  And continuing with the 20-year tradition, there will be the word feces. Okay.  This is Dan and Yoga. It has been sitting in my hotel room for 18 hours, unrefrigerated. And it tastes better now than it did 18 hours ago because the fermentation process has continued. And now there is between 100 million and 100 billion bacteria in there. And these bacteria make vitamin Bs that we cannot synthesize. And we need to seed our gut population periodically. And if you've ever been on oral antibiotics, you know why you need to reseed your gut with things like this. But warning, it gets deeper than that. This is a smoked, fermented sausage. And it contains a bacteria known as pediacoccus, which is essential for our gut health. Vegans, slim gyms, our health food. I thought the sound effect there was accidental, but damn it was appropriate. All right. It's not the bacteria, the viruses, everything that we need to worry about. It is not the human physiology. It is not the behavior. It is the interaction of all of those with the environment. And it is that small little spot where everything comes together. And that is what we come together to talk about in that float tank. And the only thing we can control from a microbial viewpoint is the environment. And that is called a sanitation and disinfection management program. And that is your number one responsibility. Profit is weighed out on the list. A dead and dying customer is not a returning customer. There are different kinds of bacteria. Health department knows this. You don't need to know this, but you need to know there. You can talk about every imaginable way to get bacteria and viruses and fungi and everything else and parasites into your body, but there's just three basic ways. You're going to inhale it.  And we know each one of these pathways, what germs there are, how they get in, and what the infective doses are. And that is a key to understanding the disinfection process. Fifty years from now, if I am known for one thing, this is the slide. This is the most comprehensive understanding of the interaction between humans and the microbial world in an aquatic environment that is there. Most health departments do not know this. Others that have travel budgets or have read vigorously know it. If you were in a small area that has an underfunded health department, you are fighting this. Okay, risk management. Hazard is something you don't want. Exposure. If it is there, are you exposed to it? Doce response. Big technical words. We cannot control. Do you test your customers? Are you susceptible to Pseudomonas?  No. Do you control exposure? No, they're in the water, they're wet. You control the hazard with your disinfection and sanitization program. That is your number one job. All right, Canadians, I warned you. Do the experiment in the summer. I have an assignment for everybody in this room. Next Saturday, except the Canadians, because it's not summer up there, go out and buy two pounds of fish. Use your car, not your significant other's car.  And this is Saturday morning, and you do not get in that car until Monday. And I want you to get in that car and smell that fish. You can't keep fish in your car for two days. George Washington made a fortune shipping fish from Alexandria, Virginia to London on wooden sailing ships before refrigeration. Salt. And understanding how that man made a fortune from the British before leading a revolution against them is the fundamental understanding of a key aspect of your disinfection program. Water activity. Very complicated process. No, it's not. You don't have enough water. You don't live. NASA is spending billions of dollars to find water on Mars. Why? No water, no life. Salt. Now, we got an update on water activity this year, Ashcon driving down the road, sees something out there, oh, takes a sample in and measures the available water in float solution. We, I took a wild guess last year, well, I was wrong. Sue me. Okay, now we got a better number. Those organisms above water activity can't grow. Those below can. Are the numbers absolute? Is life absolute? These are approximations. What's it mean? It means that key bacteria that the health department is concerned about, like Legionella, can't grow. And if your salt level is appropriate, Pseudomonas can't grow. And that's part of your water management program is to keep the salt level up. But Staphylococcus. Yeah, it's going to survive a long period of time because I normally grow it in seven and a half percent sodium chloride and that's a damn salty solution. It doesn't mind it at all. It's not a pathogen in water.  But it's not a pathogen. You can find it.  And knowing that it is salt tolerant and knowing what the water activity is explains the musty smells in our float tanks. It's coming from bungee. And you can get human pathogens like Candida, but they're not transmitted in water. They're transmitted on surfaces out there in your public areas, which you are supposed to be disinfecting. All right, a couple of us consistently took the talks on the road this year. Somebody showed up three minutes to the end in a certain talk in Charleston. And with an excuse, I couldn't get there because there was a hurricane, Graham.  It'd be a little bit more believable just because it's a cat for hurricane, Graham. Can't you come up with a better excuse than that? But we took the talk out on the road. World Aquatic Health Conference, North Texas Environmental Association, Ohio Environmental Health Association, and we talked about the risk assessment. And you know what they thought? They bought in instantly. The health officials that have seen the risk assessments that we put together are with us. We still need to reach a few more people, but we have made huge progress this year. And I emailed the talk to Katie Moore down in Texas and on the phone, and no good deed goes unpunished, and she recruited me to be on the NSF-50 task force. Okay, it's slow. It's coming. It is the light in the tunnel. It will come through. All right, I can see most of you out here, but I'm going to ask a question before I flip on to the next slide. Has anybody in here ever had difficulty getting the Department of Health to understand that you are dedicated and serious about public health? Not about floating, but about public health. Have you ever had the problem? Let's get some hands in the air. If you have had problems, there's a few hands out there. Let me with two slides illustrate what the problem really is. It's about mindset. What is this object? Go ahead and somebody yell and answer out. You know you're already wrong because I've got a trick question to it. Somebody yell and answer out. An elephant. Of course you think it's an elephant, but the health department sees something else. Let's look at what they see.  And look inside that ear-like object on whatever this thing really is. Temperature change, moisture change, wax level. Look in the mouth, water, plant, juices, sugars, fermentation processes, plaque. Look at the trunk. Don't look too close because you don't know where that trunk has been. Look in the stomach, pH of one, two. Look in the small intestine, different flora. Look in the large intestine. Look at the green squishy stuff between the toes. By the way, this object was at the back end of the herd. You know what it's been stepping in. So what is this object if it is not an elephant? You're really, really close. This is a myth, then. Has anybody ever heard of the word myth, then before? Why haven't you heard of it? Because I made it up about two weeks ago because the slide really works good. A myth, then, is a mobile incubator for various ecological niches. You see the elephant. The health department sees a myth, then. How does that apply to us? Well, oh, what's this? Is your float center built on wheels? It's not a myth, then, but I'm going to give you 83 percent because you got five out of the six letters, right? And because you were brave enough, I'm going to give you 100 bonus points. The rest of you get nothing. Let's look closely at it. The ceiling, moisture, little salt. Look at the walls, more salt, less moisture. Look at the float solution, less moisture, more salt.  Oh, oh, we just found out, Sprigillas. Look at the walls, the ceiling. And don't swab the floors because you don't want to know there. For God, whatever you do, don't look at the drain. This is a sift, then. Five out of the six letters, you got credit. It's a stationary incubator for various ecological niches. And your health department knows it. This is the way they think. And your sanitation needs to address, OK, that's where we are. That's our mindset. How do we go there? We need to make the understanding micro pertinent to our daily lives and our operations. So let's do it with three concepts. Concept number one, an unopened keg of beer does not contain pathogens. Concept number two, one of the most hazardous environments you could possibly expose yourself is a poorly maintained spa or a hot tub. Concept number three, a well run float tank is more like a keg of beer than it is a spa or a hot tub. Hey, flux, you've got 24 hours to come up with a more ridiculous comparison than that. Let's look at beer. This is a process of manufacturing beer.  I've got stories about grasshopper parts. Tonight I'll share them.   What do you really have? What you have is a process where you have boiled the water, kind of adding like chlorine to the tap water. Step one, you've got alcohol in there, which is a antimicrobial agent. It's not perfect at the concentrations in beer, but it's reasonable, kind of like salt. You've got hops in there. Let's talk about hops. Let's talk about India Pale Ale. When the British owned that little place called India and they wanted to drink beer in India, they had to ship beer by wooden sailing ships from England around Africa to India. And they added a whole bunch of preservatives, and they made a beer called India Pale Ale that had a hell of a lot of hops in it. Jake Marty, are you on a wooden sailing ship between England and India? There are other beers you could drink, Jake, but what's in the beer? There are yeast.  Filtration is not a hundred percent process. There are a bacteria called aceto-bacteria that makes the beer and the spoiled and the unrefrigerated lines over the weekend turn to vinegar. There are other bacteria in there, and they are very low levels. And if you leave that keg unrefrigerated when you're in grad school and had a party, you know that beer won't taste very good after two days. It's like float solution. There are microbes, and they are at low level. But there's one thing we do need to talk about. They clean that keg and sanitize it before they put the fresh beer in it. So if somebody dropped a brown trout over a baby roof or had the Hershey squirts in your float tank, maybe you should clean it before you put the next lot of water in it.  You'll live, maybe. When the health department sees one of these and you walk in with a float tank, what they see in a float tank is the same plumbing, the same physical concept of design as a portable spa. And you are held against the standards for running a spa. You are looking at the elephant. They are looking at the myth then. How do you run a spa? Well, you know, there's a lot of ways you can run a spa. You got bacteria coming in. You got warm water, ooh, kind of in the range where we are. PH, the filter, high concentrations of working higher in a spa than in a float tank. But you've got organics. And what do you need for microbial growth? Organics. Testing is easy. And ozone's there. Starts to have a little comparison. And how do you run it? You disinfect it with chlorine. And you test it frequently. And you filter it.  And there are signage requirement. But you don't have to have a shepherd's hook or a life ring in a spa. But when you're applying for that first float tank, that's a variation you have to see.  Yes, I've been through the argument. OK, so what's the problem with the spa? The disinfectant level can be depleted so rapidly. If you've ever been in a sales meeting and been down to the pool at 1 o'clock in the morning, and the sales guy, and there's 13 of them, with one leg in the pool, and they're spilling various alcoholic beverages in there, there's no damn chlorine in that spa. And those microbes that have come in on their feet in the fill water start to grow. And they establish a biofilm. And some of it's Pseudomonas and some of it's Legionella. And it's in there. And then somebody forgets to do one thing. They test the water, 48 hours, 72 hours, three months. The biofilm's there. It could be a year later. Somebody forgets one. And they get in there. And between 24 and 24 hours and 11 days, they've got a Pseudomonas rash. Most of the time it's not bad. 5% of the time is antibiotics required. Can be a very serious infection. And if you happen to be over the age of 50 and you get Legionnaires disease, you have up to a 40% fatality rate. And the health department is comparing you to a spa. If you are keeping good records, you are distinguishing yourself from those facilities that have problems like this. Are you keeping adequate records that are impressive to the health department? Not to your staff, but to you. Are they overblown for what probably the health threat is? If your records aren't good, you're going to be compared to one of these. What's the other flow tanks? All right, that's what you're compared to. It's the same kind of idea. And you walk in with this really crazy idea. I want to run this thing that's got warm water and organic load in there, and I don't want to use chlorine. What's the first word out of their mouth? No, that's what we're facing. Are you starting to see the myth then? All right, let's do the very first thing. The easiest thing costs a little bit of money, but let's do something a little different. Let's not be a hot tub. Let's put on their best available technology. I don't sell equipment. I'm telling you, in my professional opinion, what is the best available technology?  What does it do for you immediately? Can you filter out bacteria with it? No, most of them can't grow anyway. Not an issue. Can it filter out aspergillus? Yes, the health department doesn't remember that slide that I showed you earlier. They're still thinking cryptosporidium and Giardia, which is not a problem in spas, but they're controlling you against that. Will it reduce the threat of cryptos and Giardia, which is a major concern of health departments? Yes, by itself. Can you filter out viruses, which are really small with a one micron bag filter? No, I got a typo on the slide and I didn't spot it until two nights ago and I was not about to make a change on it because not everybody's perfect and that includes me. Ignore that bottom bullet point. What can we do? We can reduce the potential threat to such a level that pessimistic health departments buy into the thought in a 30 minute presentation. And then we can take that bag filter and we can stack other technology on top of it, like UV or ozone, and I have not yet said the word chlorine, have I? And now we have multiple layers of protection just like in the beer. Yes, just because I like beer, it is still a valid comparison. What about chlorine as a disinfectant in float tanks? Does it work? I don't have a clue. Nobody else does either. And I am one of the leading authorities in the world on control of recreational water illness and pools and spots and I can't tell you whether it works.  No, I'm not worried about it anyway. Can you measure chlorine in your float? Well, I did an assignment about a year ago. I went on a business trip like I always do and I keep the technicians busy. And I said, take this sample that Graham sent me or maybe it was Ashconn. I can't tell him apart sometimes. Anyway, and I said, spike it with chlorine and take the test, and by the way, I happen to work for the world's largest chlorine producer for pools and spots, and everybody in my lab is a certified pool and spa operator and they test chlorine multiple times a day and then we have every toy you could imagine. And I said, use every toy you can get. Can you measure the free chlorine?  It ain't gonna work. And then we send a sample up to the National Sanitation Foundation at NSF and you know what their results came back? Horrible. Your results are inaccurate. No adequate analytical science in the world will accept your results. But if the health department tells you to do it, do it. How do you run it? Follow the health department. If they tell you to test, test. Is it gonna do you anything? No, but it's gonna keep them happy.  Write the record down, date, time, initials. Do it. When you test, document it. Never postate anything because that's fraud. How much chlorine should you use? Well, there is no federal standard for it. I can't tell you. Most health departments are gonna say one to four, maybe one to 10, follow their guidance. What about organic load? If you're using chlorine and it smells like chlorine, you have combined chlorine in there. I have no way to get rid of that combined chlorine. It is a very complicated process. Drain the tank, put fresh water in it. The best source is probably unscented, unthinkin', unthickened bleach. And some health departments will get very picky and they will tell you you have to use registered bleach. Now what is the bacteria? If you have bleach here that one of them has an EPA label on and one doesn't have an EPA label on, will they both kill bacteria? As long as you don't tell my boss I said this, yes. But the health department may tell you to buy the bleach that costs just a little bit more because it's got an EPA label on it. Expect a few questions. Routine operations, check the specific gravity that is the best way to ensure that you do not have Pseudomonas aeruginosa. And the health department is concerned about it. Given a choice, run higher, not lower. Check the chlorine. Use three turnovers minimum. And if somebody comes in and says, I only have five minutes, can I get in there before I get three turnovers?  And if you have a UV system in there, is it warmed up? Some bulbs have a warmup period. It won't kill until it's at operating temperature. And it has a lifetime. Do you have a logbook on your UV system? Usually they run about 3,000 hours, change that bulb out at about 2,800 hours and have it in a logbook because if you didn't document it, you didn't do it according to the health department. In case there is an issue, what happens if you get blood in the water? It's not a health threat, it's a cosmetic threat to whatever you gotta do. If you've got feces in the water, drain it, clean it, disinfect it, start from scratch and document it. The health department may have a form. Use their form. You're now talking to them. You're doing what they want you to do. Use their form. If not, there are forms available online we can get you set up. Keep your records for five years. Secondary and supplemental disinfection systems, UV, ozone, AOP systems. There are ones that have a little bit higher price tag and there are cheap ones. You get what you pay for.  I'm helping a center open up just south of Atlanta and I ran into the health department and I said, I don't wanna use chlorine. I wanna use a one micron bag filter and a UV and a Dell AOP system and I think we're gonna get permission to run with microbiology in a certified lab and make that data available and publish it with the blessing of the Department of Health from Georgia, the state, not the country. All right, let's talk about one specific incident and you need to know this because it's gonna get around. There was an outbreak out in British Columbia. Tank had been out of service for at least two weeks. The software wasn't working. They put somebody in it. They got Pseudomonas aeruginosa. They had to go to the doctor. They had to get a lot of antibiotics. The health department got involved in it. They found high levels of Pseudomonas. We don't even know how high it maxed out on the test. They found chloro, coliforms. Another kind of bacteria. We'll explain that later over a beer. There was no chlorine, of course. They did not measure the magnesium sulfate. We don't know what the level was. The articles published it in form. I get a picture of the tank. I don't know the provenance of the picture. Your reaction said it all. All right, let's get some facts straight. Float solution is not sterile. It is not self-sanitizing. It is not. Hydrogen peroxide used at the concentrate is not a disinfectant. Trust me, I've done the microbiology in pools and spas. Cartridge filters will not remove a single germ of concern. Bag filters will remove the larger ones, but not the smaller ones. Even with chlorine, UV, ozone, and a one micron bag filter, there will still be a small number of germs. And if you got some anal retentive guy like me, I can find them. But they're gonna be at such a low level. I've gotta work at it. Your job is to make me work. We manage illness. We do not eliminate it.  Because I had to think up a way to answer his question, what is the maximum way we can eliminate illness in float tanks? And I came up with the answer. Ashconn, next Wednesday, I want you to call your general contractor and order 150 trucks of concrete. And I want you to fill every room in your facility from the floor to the ceiling and let it set up. And that will prevent every illness you could ever possibly imagine. And there's no other choice. Best available technology, best management practice, and business liability insurance. Okay, I'm running over, but you. All right, I ran across an article a few weeks ago. I'm sitting there on my phone, read this, and it's like, oh, this is good. 10 things that food health inspectors will never do. One of them, the phase, isn't it? Everybody have lunch? Fine, if you're not showing symptoms in seven days, the lunch was fine, you'll be okay. All right, but a question that I got asked is how safe is a well-managed float solution? Tough question. A well-managed float solution probably has lower health risks than the lemon you dropped in your glass of iced tea. And if you are putting lemon or limes in your beer, why don't you switch over to a beer that you don't have to change the flavor on? That's so gross anyway. All right, you're all gonna get an email, and so don't bother to write this down. A friend of mine, Dr. Laura Supus at the University of Wisconsin, Eau Claire, is doing microbiology, and she's gonna have a survey about operational parameters, and she is going to help develop information. And so you're gonna get this link, answer it because we're in this together, we will all hang together, or we will hang separately. The light at the end of the tunnel is a train, and if you're standing in front of it, you will end up like a dead possum bloated in the sun with your a-leg sticking in the air. We must work together. And I don't know about you, but I could sure use a beer at this point.


Hey guys, this is Kevin. This is part two of the story. If you haven't seen the part one, I put the link above. My customer contact Epson for warranty and Epson said, how about you keep the printer and I give you $120 and Yeah, that sounds good deal. So the customer come back for me to fix it It's an easy fix because the clock is inside the tube. I forgot to turn the camera on. I'm sorry I already cleaned the tubes I disconnect the tubes from the printhead and then disconnect the other side here Just pull it out. If you need a new set of tubes You can just go to bch technologies.com and go to printer parts Epson and eco tank tubes cleaning tubes is not that hard.  Okay, go back to bch technology.com and go to accessories and syringe and needles and It's this four-piece plastic refill needle tip after we check each tube make sure they Connected to the printer and then can suck in smoothly. We connect them back to the damper Now we need to prime the damper. We take a 10 mil syringe and Resurblade just cut off a little piece from the top put your hands in the back of the damper and Just pry that tab backwards and now you can remove the damper you can see there's lots of air in the damper and Now that's why we need a primate Hold the damper this way and insert a syringe and start sucking the ink should come into the damper very easily and Suck until you get a ink inside at the syringe It's easier to show you show you in a lighter color like a yellow Now I can put everything back and try it Now the printer can print good pictures continuously. I remember the old problem was the printer get a suffocate after the first page Okay, I hope you enjoyed this video visit us at www.bch Technologies.com or locally at Greensboro, North Carolina.
