Yeah, we can do it. Like you said, it'd have to be super far planned out. We could definitely do it. Alright, again guys, 7 to go on Dynastee. Let's get that filled on up. 7 to go. Think we can get TPC Sawgrass? Yeah. Yeah. No big deal. No big deal. No problem. Not a problem. Kara, if we got TPC Sawgrass, I wouldn't even play. I'd just sit at the 17 and just try to hit the island. That's all I would do. Until I did, I would not stop trying to hit the island. If we had Sawgrass right now. Could be there all day. Oh yeah. Oh yeah, I would never hit it. There's a blaper. It'd get way too in my head. Like go to TPC Boston. That's a nice one. TPC Boston's nice.

Nelson Rudda. Pound of the ball, 275 plus. Probably was the elevation.

Warming Bernabelle to 50 for the Rockies. Purple pattern paper Marcello Meyer to 199. So it's like wicked, it's wicked, wicked, like hilly up there. Like every, like there were, there were legitimately holes. Like if you slice left or right, you'd be going down a 50 foot hill. Really? It was awful. But there was one, it was a par five. It was a par two on the white specklotto to 299. About the same right now. Carrot Mitchell. And so basically the way the par five was it was about like, it was like this. There's a hill right in the middle of the giant hill right in the middle of it about 210 to 20 out. And I hit it just perfectly where I caught the hill on the down like I hit. I elevated up and then it caught the hill and it just rolled down and just kept going. Probably like 330 when it was all said and done because it was way up there. But it would have never happened unless it was the hill. God, this needs help. Josue de Paula. Eight people 1500. That's not, that's not terrible compared to some of the other TPC courses out there. Like I think it's at least 500 a person at the, how are we just talking about? Guess where I'm going to play. Where was it? What's the one in Tampa? Sawgrass. Sawgrass. Yeah, Sawgrass like 500 person. That didn't happen. Oh, it's Sawgrass. There's Lunar Glow, Ryan Clifford. Sawgrass is silly expensive. Ambioris Tavares, base auto for the Braves.

Yeah, second one of the break, third one of the day. This is insane, dude. Absolutely insane. Kumar Rocker. Yeah, striving it into a Lamborghini. I don't know. Cam Collier.

Further, moving on, talking about the guidelines for therapeutic termination, then important thing which we are going to talk about is termination due to the client's progress. Terminating therapy due to the client's progress is another way due to which we terminate. Therapy should ideally have a very specific and clear goals. Therapy could not be done into air, into isolation, into something which has no meaning. We have some goals, we have certain objectives and if we are not going to achieve them, we are not going to see any progress into therapy, the very reason of the therapeutic intervention is going to fail and we need to consider that that should be continued or that should be terminated. When a client achieves their goal, it may be appropriate to transition them to a new therapist or to terminate therapy altogether. Let's say, a target you have set is to teach a small child how to use a potage guide properly with a delayed milestone, it is a very simple thing for us but for a delayed milestone child, it may be a very difficult task and it may take two months to teach him how to feed with a spoon. Now you don't have any other thing which you can further do with that child or it will probably need a better learning skill so you have to refer that to the other therapist. Now another example, a therapist counseling a new parent with postpartum depression might mutually agree with the client to terminate therapy when depression symptoms goes into remission. So by default now we are obliged that as a therapist we understand that the symptoms are into remission so we need to go for termination. The client might stop therapy altogether or transition to a therapist with expertise in another issue. These strategies can help ease the transition and they are reflect on clients growth and how they plan to continue their growth. So we need to discuss both the pros and cons, both the merit and the demerits that our therapeutic intervention was. Now discuss any feelings of grief or anxiety about ending the treatment relationship. If you have any feelings, if the client has any feelings both are mutually set up to talk about these feelings which is going to create a disturbance in their minds and they are going to get them emotional. Talk about personal growth as an ongoing process and give the client guidelines for when it might be appropriate to return to the therapy. Leaving the door open can also be a powerful way to help clients feel secure in their decision. You are doing well, your daily functioning has been upgraded but still if you want any help you are welcome to come, the door is open, you can come anytime, you can take appointment, you can sit with me and discuss about anything which is going to create a disturbance in you. This is very natural that anyone who is going to be described that the therapy is going to be terminated. So these are the guidelines which may help and which may ease out the process of the therapeutic termination. Thank you.

So does the summer heat get you all in the mood for pleasure or does it just make you want to collapse and do absolutely nothing at all? Well, according to surveys, the people of Denmark get really very excited in the summer heat and as soon as the temperatures start to shoot up, the Danes start to have more sex and not just that. Apparently, if they go on holiday during the summer, the percentage of sex goes even further up. But the interesting thing is that in Denmark, you're actually rewarded for doing this because of their falling population rate. They actually have a campaign called Do It for Denmark where couples are encouraged to have more sex on holiday and prizes are actually given to those couples who can prove that they have had a baby exactly nine months after their holiday. Now, the thing is that not for having children, of course, but the Kamasutra does say that making love on a hot summer afternoon, you know, languidly, leisurely with music and cooling fountains and crisp white cotton sheets is one of the most pleasurable experiences ever. And so if the heat this summer is really getting to you, maybe this would be a really good way to stay cool or at least stay happily busy. It's worth a try, no?

I've also been sitting in for Tom O'Brien and we've got on the line Mastery Probability Steve Rose himself and his newsletter and this is going to be very interesting because I'm sure that Steve has a lot of profound stuff to talk about right now about the markets and Steve, how are you? I'm doing great, Basil, yourself? I'm well, thank you.  I'm sure you're a much better tennis player than I am a golfer though. And so this weekend, one of my favorite tournaments was on the TPC, kind of like the fifth major. But I also know, wasn't the Indian Wells tournament on for tennis? Is that kind of like a fifth major? You got me. I just see it when I see it. I love playing. In fact, I even snuck out today to go and play for an hour. Yeah, but I have watched it when I watch it. I prefer playing to actual watching, but I do watch, yes. The Indian Wells have had some fantastic games lately, yes. Yeah, I know. I think Alcarez was, you know, Alcarez and Medvedev. When those guys play, I didn't get a chance to see it. And I don't think it's, I think it's just a best of three sets out there and on a five setter or something like that. But, you know, it's great to watch those guys play. They're just amazing. The tennis these days, the last year has been my kind of tennis. You know, chop and they, it's not just serving and backcourt. It's everything is fabulous. I love it. Yeah, yeah, absolutely. All right. So to the markets and the question on everybody's mind, you sort of touched on this here is, and I thought we'd spend a little time on it today is trying to answer the question has the stock market topped. So let's get into it. Each of the daily. So what we have up here are eight different daily timeframe cash index chart. So it covers, it covers basically everything. So we've got the Dow in the upper left. Next to that is the S&P, the NASDAQ 100, Russell 2000 on the on the row below. We've got the semis, the transports, the NASDAQ composite, New York stock exchange. So the answer is yes, each of these daily stock index charts have confirmed topping patterns. So if I take a look at the Dow up here on the left, Basil, I've got it with the roads meant to indicator top by take a look at the S&P, the same pattern. Now roads momentum indicator top is telling us that the market is stretched to the upside. But being stretched doesn't mean it's top. The way that we get a signal of the market is top. I let the market communicate to us. And the way that it does that for me is generates either bullish or bearish reversal candles at tops. We're looking for bearish reversal candles way to bearish engulfing candle in the Dow Jones. The bearish engulfing candle in the S&P 500, the same thing in the NDX. The Russell 2000 actually generated what I refer to as a TD9 count top. The semis, roads momentum indicator top, the transports, roads momentum indicator top, price and gap down. So we've got a big gap out there. A gap to the downside for me is a bearish reversal candle, a gap to the upside, a bullish reversal candle. The NASDAQ composite, bearish engulfing, roads momentum indicator top, the New York stock exchange, a TD9 count top. So I could definitively say that each of these cash index charts has generated a topping pattern. So the next question should be, and the next question I like to ask is, where is support? So here again are the daily timeframe charts. And I refer to the red horizontal lines that we're looking at as TD9 count breakout levels. So I mentioned as an example, if we take a look at the New York Stock Exchange in the lower right up here, this formed a TD9 count top. You'll see the number nine count out there. We have TD9 counts, whether it's tops or bottoms, right now we're just focused on tops. It will then generate where price had broken out from. So it's a cool thing about the pattern is it helps us to identify that there could be a top or bottom forming. But then what it also does, it gives us this objective level of support. So in the case of the Russell 2000, what we've got out here is support would be at 2011, 90 cents. And in the New York Stock Exchange, it would be 17,603. So if we take a look at, this is the New York Stock Exchange. So we're just going to blow that up large so we can all take a look at that. And closing below a TD9 count breakout area would generate a change in trend. So this is taking a look at the New York Stock Exchange coming off of the October 20 at 23 bottom out here. And this would tell us that we've got one price that we just simply need to watch. Because pulling back to support, folks, is really what the market is always doing. This is in a bull market. Pullback should be testing support levels. And in the bear market, rallies should be testing resistance areas. So here I can definitively say, if we see a close below 17,603.88, my preference would be two consecutive close below that, then the New York Stock Exchange would generate a change in trend signal. Here's an example of New York Stock Exchange. If we go back to January 20, 2022, which is where I've got my blue arrow, we can see that the New York Stock Exchange closed below that TD9 count breakout level. That gave us a change in trend signal. We had a second consecutive move below that. That was telling us we had a change in trend signal out there. Well, we can also see, now what I've done on this chart is I've put up the TD9 count breakdown resistance levels. So support are the red horizontal lines. And the green lines are the resistance areas out there. And what we can see here is even though price, when price broke through back on January 20, all rallies found resistance at a prior TD9 count breakdown resistance level. We did have one day where price closed above it. This is back in the April timeframe. This is why I use a two-bar rule out there, because one bar can just be one of those beautiful one-hit wonder songs out there. And we won confirmation. So what we can see is all the way down, any rallies found resistance at those breakout levels until we got into this October rally, when price was able to break through this 15,252 level out there. So that's how the TD9 count pattern works. It's an excellent time for folks that are listening in to test drive mastering probability. It comes with that 30-day money back guarantee because I do have a workshop that includes the specifics about the TD9 count pattern. So great time for people to test drive mastering probability. Now, the New York Stock Exchange is not something you or I can trade. We don't have an ETF, but if we took a look at that original set of charts, we saw the Russell 2000, which has a TD9 count top, has been approaching its breakout level. So what you and I also know is that if we were to see a close on the Russell 2000 cash index for two consecutive sessions, close below 2011-90, that would generate a TD9 count change in trend signal. So the New York Stock Exchange, I say just watch that for the general market overall, but on the Russell 2000, that should be the first one that we are in the beginning of a protracted retracement correction, whatever that might be. The Russell 2000 from a TD9 count breakout level probably gives us our first signal out there. So watch 2011-90. The XAU. So something we, Tom Bright, say, gold newsletter. We give calls all the time, right, about the GDX and the stocks within sighted. If we take a look at the XAU, so I'm just focused here, Brazzel, on the indices. I've got drawn a couple of TD9 counts. We can see two tops because there was one that formed just a few days ago. And now I've got a line drawn to a TD9 count bottom. That was the last time that we had a significant bottom inside the XAU. So this is a pattern that is certainly worth paying attention to. If we take a look at a topping pattern, which formed out here in this little rectangular, this is a bottoming pattern out here. I don't know why I put topping up there. But if we take a look at a bottoming pattern out here, when something bottoms, all that it's really entitled to do is go test resistance. Can it break through resistance out there? And for me, one of the resistance levels that I use is the oscillator and change line. We can see that this TD9 count that formed back in the 2008 timeframe, I guess I'm not sure the date of this. No, it can't be 2008. This is recent. So within the past few months out here, price ran right into resistance to that green oscillator and change line out there. And then it finally broke through. So here's an example of using the TD9 count pattern. And folks, you should consider test driving mastering probability. That's what I see out there. Hey Basil, one thing maybe you can cover during your show. So I show today that copper on a daily timeframe negated a TD9 count top. And that suggests that we had hired. So I just asked you, how do you put that together? What Dr. Copper is doing? And what I just shared with you on the cash indices. Great question. We'll deal with it. Perfect. Great to interview you and great work. Thanks Basil, appreciate it. Thank you very much. Take care. Thank you.


Oh my gosh, you guys, I have been waiting well over a week to do this review. I am so late by my standards. You guys know I'm pretty quick to get my reviews out.  I think of all the launches so far in 2022. This has been the one I've been the most excited about. I've been waiting for Charlotte Tilbury to launch a new complexion product. So I would like her to launch a new concealer because she needs a new concealer. But I'm so excited about this new foundation and curiosity has killed the cat. I normally don't watch reviews before I make my own review.  I had to know what this foundation so I got excited. But I actually did try this yesterday and I have to like admit you guys kind of made my skin look dry. But today I'm making sure I'm using all products that I love and that I'm familiar with. See how this reacts, try different styles of application as well. I'm really excited. If you want to see my thoughts on this just keep watching.  Everybody's done the review and I'm joining in because I have to because I love Charlotte Tilbury. I want to film a review too. Really excited to see that she came out with a foundation like this because this is exactly what I feel like her line needed. She has a full full coverage foundation and then she has a normal foundation. She also has really glowy foundations, but we haven't gotten like a skin tint s.  I don't know something that skin like natural still gives a little bit of coverage glowy on the skin. We didn't have a product like that yet from Charlotte and that's kind of what her brand embodies. Dang it says skin looks more radiant by up to 285%. It's supposed to give you a healthy natural everyday skin look. They say online it has a medium coverage and it's supposed to be really hydrating, plump, smoothing, brightening. All these things long lasting 16 hour wear. That's a big claim for a hydrating foundation. Right. I'm excited to end like most of the Charlotte Tilbury products. There are some skincare benefits within this product as well. So this is $44. The range looks decent. There's 30 shades and for a lighter to medium coverage product. I don't think that that's bad. Now I picked up the shade 4N. I was worried I saw that this ran a little bit orange or dark. So I almost picked up 2N after I ordered 4N. You don't need to do that if you use me as a skin tone match. 4N is literally perfect. Okay. I was worried, but it looks great on my skin. I would say I am normally like a 4N or 5N in the summer from Charlotte Tilbury, but I was a little skeptical because sometimes I use Michelle Wong as a skin tone match. But she got 2N in this and that's definitely way too light on me. She's a little lighter than me, but I don't want to pop. 4N is my shade. So here is what the box looks like and then you can read all the claims on here. It's very, very wordy. As I stated before, you can order this foundation pretty much everywhere now. Sephora, Beautylish, Charlotte Tilbury, all the places. And it has this pump style like the Estee Lauder foundation that I love. There's a lot of foundations that I love that have this style of packaging and they all tend to be within the same kind of claims, you know? But really cute. I like it. It goes with her brand. So this has a 12 month shelf life. There is one fluid ounce, which is very, very standard for foundations. So that's great. And it's made in Italy. Okay, let's get to application here. I'm going to shake it up. Now I did, I said this before, I did use this yesterday. I filmed a video. Well, I filmed two videos yesterday. The first video I filmed, I just applied it, but it was like a full phase of brand, brand new products and my face looks super dry. I just took it off because I had to film a second video and I actually did wear this for some time. Again, I felt like my skin looked a little more dry as well. But today I really want to make sure I'm using reliable products and prepping my skin. And I just thought that that was odd. So we'll see today. I've prepped my skin with the Suasu concentrated ginseng renewing cream. This is really nice and hydrating for my skin. Let's get to application. So take a look at my bare skin before you can see I have some acne scarring, but it's pretty flat. Everything is looking good with my skin, but we do have some acne at scarring to cover. And for reference, I do have normal to dry skin. It is currently leaning more on the dry side given that it is winter. So let's take a look at the consistency here. So it's not really liquidy. As you can see, it's barely barely drooping.  So I'm going to start off by putting it directly on my acne. I'm going to use a brush on this side and then I'm going to use a sponge on the other side yesterday. I only used sponge. So I actually was kind of impressed with the coverage. I was expecting something lighter, but it definitely gave me a true medium coverage, which is more than I was expecting for this style of product. But I'm taking my refer number 31 brushes is one of my favorite foundation brushes. I'll link it down for you guys. It doesn't leave any streaks. I normally do not like foundation brushes. This is one that I really, really enjoy. So I'm just going to pat it over my acne scarring so that you can see how it looks. So see, it does give that nice medium coverage. Let me apply it to the rest of my face. This is giving me uneven up. There we go pumps. So I'm going to spread it out along my forehead along the cheek area, which has for me a lot of redness. I would say you can probably get decent coverage for about two pumps on the whole face. Okay, so I'm going to use that brush to blend it out. I like that I don't need to use too much swiping motions. I was worried because this is on the thicker side as opposed to watery, but it's spreading out just fine patting motions with the brush. I use the elf power grip primer yesterday and this foundation would not move. I was like, this is so thick. I can't blend it out. I can confirm it was the primer. It's not the foundation. This is actually spreading very good. You see, what a great color match. Okay, let's try the sponge side now, which is typically my preferred method of application. I'm using a shop miss AOA sponge. Generally, I would say use less product, but I feel like it does look a little bit more healthy and natural with the sponge. However, you are foregoing a little bit of coverage when you do that. So for me and more of a sponge girl, I'm going to like how this looks more with the sponge because it's going to look more natural. But for everyday application, what I would probably do is use a sponge everywhere to apply. And then I will use the brush afterwards with a little extra product on the areas that I need more coverage, which for me obviously would be the acne scarring. But here is with the first layer. It looks super natural on the sponge side and then we definitely got a little bit more thickness and coverage on the skin with the brush. So if you want more coverage, I mean, this is typically how it goes. The brush is going to give it to you. I just think for me, when I am reaching for a foundation this style, typically I know I'm looking for something that doesn't have a maximum amount of coverage. I want my skin to look natural and glowy. But without any products over top, you can see that it is quite glowy. It looks really beautiful and natural. I would definitely want to powder the T zone. If anything, if I wanted to keep that glow just because we're looking a little sweaty right here. But other than that, it is a really beautiful, healthy and natural glow to the skin. And this is where I love the product. I think it looks fantastic.  So I'm going to put a little extra on my cheek here. Let's see if we can build the coverage a little bit. Oh yeah, you absolutely can. It's never ever going to build up to a full coverage. But if you have an area on your face that maybe has a little extra redness or some blemishes, adding a second coat is going to help camouflage. It's not going to completely make it disappear most likely because you can still see my freckles through, which I love this kind of finish. But it definitely evens everything out when it comes to the complexion. Okay, something that I actually do want to add now that I'm close up to my skin, you'll see because it is glowy, it really isn't smoothing the pores or anything of my face without any powder or anything over top. You can see a little bit of the pores, but honestly, it's not unflattering. Like I don't look at it and go, oh, my skin looks terrible. That's not the case. If you put something glowy on your skin, it most likely is going to do this. So it doesn't look bad, but just be warned that it doesn't really, I feel follow those claims of like literally smoothing or blurring the skin. All right, I'm going to fast forward through this process. If you want to see what I'm using for the rest of my face and complexion. Finished all of my makeup and here is what the skin is looking like. And I just, I feel like the second powder hits this, it looks a lot more heavy and dry on my skin. I don't understand. I feel like this is a product that I feel will look the most beautiful on my skin with little to no powder, like just a touch on the T zone area. I didn't do a ton of powder, but I did my regular powder routine, which was a little bit of the Charlotte Tilbury Translucent powder just to set the under eyes, the T zone.  And in those areas, the foundation just looks a little heavier. It doesn't look quite blended into the skin. It looks a little bit drier. So the day is young. We will see how it wears because a lot of times with foundation as the day goes on, oils come through, things look more natural. I will say I was hopeful for that yesterday and it didn't look the greatest. It didn't smooth out and hydrate like I wanted it to. We will see since I'm a little bit more familiar with the other products that I'm using today, but here's how it looks. Right now I'm just getting those vibes that this is a foundation that is going to need to be used with like no powder because it looks stunning with no powder, but it looks a bit heavy. It doesn't look bad though. I don't want you to think I think the foundation looks bad. I take a step back. I look fine, but close up to a mirror just analyzing it. It looks a little dry. And then one thing I also did want to test, I let a little bit of foundation dry on my hand. You can see how perfect that is. I just want to see the level of oxidation. I did put a little pump. So here is dry versus wet. Honestly, it got like a touch more peachy, but it didn't really get darker in tone or anything. So on my skin, I don't really notice it. It's not bad. There's some foundations where it gets like dark and you look like an orange. I don't feel that way with this, but there is a subtle oxidation there. So I'm going to update you in a few hours. Okay, and in case you wanted to see, I'm using all natural light right now and the back of my iPhone camera. And again, here's a closer look. Okay, so I wanted to do a quick check-in. It's officially been about four hours since I initially applied the foundation. I had some breakfast and I spent the whole entire afternoon filming, but I want you to get a closer look. And you guys, I am not, I'm not jiving with this foundation. I don't, my expectations were really high. I know a lot of people are loving this foundation, but I just feel like it's not doing my skin too many favors. So you can see it kind of breaking up around my nose area and it's only four hours in. It's looking a little crusty down there and I just feel like my skin looks dry. And the first two times I applied this foundation, I was like, okay, it definitely has to be the corresponding products that I'm using. But today I used my normal favorite powders that never make my skin look dry and they were Charlotte Tilbury powders, and alas, they should work with this foundation and my skin still looks heavy and dry and not hydrated. I don't know. Okay, I mean, I'm getting the feeling that I might like this foundation if I just like don't set it, which is not what I like to do. I like to set with a little bit of powder, maybe like a tiny bit of powder would be okay, but it maybe just be a, might be a quick, I don't know, I'm not loving it. That's all I can say right now. You can see it. Now my oils look good. I don't see any oils coming through. None of that. From afar, it looks fine, but up close, it just doesn't look as smooth or hydrated as I expected it to look. But anyways, I will catch you in a few hours. I'm going to walk on my treadmill, kind of put it through a little bit of wear and tear and we'll reevaluate where we're at. Until then, folks. Holy, okay guys, it is like six o'clock. So I've been wearing the foundation for about eight and a half hours now. I have some thoughts. Now we're looking a little extra glowy right now because I have all studio lights and no natural lights since it's dark out. So we're looking a little more oily than in our real life, but I don't love this foundation. I'm really, really sad. I don't dislike it though. Okay, hear me out. Arguably, this is the best foundation I've looked all day because minus the oils, it actually looks like the foundation is settled. It doesn't look dry or thick where the powder was applied. But do you see how textured the center of my face looks like right around here? It's completely broken up. It already started breaking up in the four hour mark, which normally my foundation looks pretty flawless at that point because I have drier skin. I don't get oily. So that was the first red flag where I was like, oh no, and it just slowly fading away around here and it just looks really, really textured and oiled up in this area. The outskirts of my face look pretty good still. It's not terrible. It's not the worst foundation I've used. I don't want you guys to think that, but I just, I just don't love the way this foundation sits on my skin personally. Now I do want to touch up just so we can see. I don't want to add any additional powder because powder in this foundation on my skin do not agree, but I'm taking this refer brush which I used to set earlier. I'm not putting any additional powder on it. It's just where it was and I want to pat and see if this does anything. Play this, yeah, that kind of helped with the oiliness a little bit. You will see it's kind of going into my smile lines, but not really. Like this is the deepest smile line that I have. It's not sinking in bad. So here's where I stand with this. I would use this foundation on cream days. On days, I will wear this a lot in the winter because that's when my skin is the driest and I will not set this foundation with powder. It's going to be the day where I'm wearing all cream products because a powder with this foundation just disagree on my face. It's very, very odd. It looks thicker. It looks drier. I don't really like that. Ladies and gentlemen, if you're looking for a foundation at a similar price point that has the same give or take capabilities, medium coverage, glowy complexion. I'm a big fan of the Estee Lauder Futurist Hydra Rescue Moisturizing Makeup. These pretty much have the same claims. I like the Estee Lauder better. It sits prettier on my skin. So that's my review. I give it a solid like 6 out of 10. I've tried some other foundations recently that quite frankly have been a lot more happy with. And I'm being super duper dramatic. You guys know how I am. It's really not that bad. Nobody's looking that close to my face. If I wear this out, I would look fine. Nobody's going to be like, Ew, your face. The foundation looks good from afar, but being up close, just not the best on the market. So I hope you guys enjoyed this foundation review and found it helpful. If you aren't subscribed to my channel already, I would love it if you would consider taking the time to do so. And I will see you guys in the next one. Bye guys. Have a good one.


And this is the biggest thing, save your money versus just throwing out this little bit to a bit here, this little bit to a bit here.  Like have that one thing going, but I'm just saying if that's your entire budget, right?  All right, we felt, we focused on too much, too many parts of our brain and parts of our music. Let me just get this one song and in this short period of time, one, I'm going to pitch it on Spotify's playlist. It means it can't be out yet, right? If I do that, right? And then two, I'm going to pitch to be on other playlists at this same period of time. If I can land multiple of those really close to the day it drops, then I'm going to get an influx of traffic and I'm going to encourage my audience if I already have fans. Some people don't have this, but the people who have some fans, right, even as the homies or whatever, I'm going to encourage them to listen in a short period of time because I want to be able to leverage those triggers on, not Instagram, Spotify, all right? So, leverage those triggers, oh, they see that you're getting a lot of traffic and positive listens in a short period of time. You catch one of those playlists and now you're activating the organic because the whole purpose of marketing artificial activity is to create organic activity.  You need your activity, just like you put out $1, you want to bring back $20, right? You don't want to, even if you break even, you don't want to spend your life putting out a dollar and getting back a dollar because you're in the same place. You want to get something back, so if your stuff isn't creating organic traffic that comes back, whether that's improper audience targeting, bad content, right? It's a real thing. Bad content does exist, guys. And even just bad playlist choices, right? Bad placements. If you have those things, that's going to take away from the possibility of organic traffic coming back. So the way, once again, right? So we have those levels. We want to leverage the ability to save money so we can do as much as we can within a window, but even if you find success, we want to work that as an indie artist, particularly for as long as possible. So maybe your campaign did run out because you only had 1K and you're done. But it showed that it was promising. We need to be able to recognize and be true with ourselves that some of these things aren't really popping like that. It didn't get the feedback that I thought, but this one right here is getting a little bit more and it's working. I ran an ad and then people start saying, yo, man, I'm glad I saw this on an ad. This is dope, right? Once you get to that point, that means I need to be running that ad for like six months. I need to try to do that. And then we can kind of consider, oh, whenever I get $50, I'm going to keep putting it back in versus trying to save up to one point. So it's two phases with your money. Build up, launch, give it as much energy as possible, take the feedback and make the decision to either move on or double down and that doubling down will either look like just creating an evergreen almost campaign, just keeping and dripping attention as much as you can when you can. But if possible, getting a bigger launch on the back end. Yeah, and I want to add an additional point to spending your money on a specific song or sort of a philosophical point, which is spending money on a song or even when you're in the studio recording it, knowing that you already know I'm going to spend a thousand on this song. I think it'll really put your money where your mouth is because a lot of artists, they make songs and then they sort of retroactively decide is this worth spending on? And so what's happening is you as a songwriter, you're not necessarily taking the song as seriously as possible. Right. Just to use an example as a teacher or as a YouTuber, I do a lot of things with hiring writers or hiring editors knowing that I'm going to feel the pain if they mess up or if the article or whatever is not going to work because I'm putting money into this and just even internally, if there's a mistake or if I was lazy or the writer was lazy, I'm going to take it more seriously the next time, whether that's the sign to fire them or being like, bro, you've got to proofread this thing because I'm paying for this. Artists need to kind of flip that on their head as well. If I know when I'm in that studio writing that song, this is going to be a thousand dollars put into this, I'm going to take a little bit more time to make sure that hook is really banging, that the bars, if I'm more lyrical based, that that punchline is really where it's at. So I think from a philosophical standpoint, having to spend money and spending money on your career just to know that you really trust this is the one. I think that that's something that's underrated, man. You know, a lot of times I'm seeing these artists that are just like, no, this is the hit right here, this is the hit. And I'm like, well, how do you know? I mean, like you said, the homies just mess it with it. I'm like, OK, if you really think it's the hit, put a thousand dollars into it.  That's where the change comes. That's real. That's real.  It's a hot quality. Right. Let me just get this to look like this and put and buy some new clothes and think that this is going to make the video poppin. But the thing is like quality videos have been commoditized. Right. There's a lot of quality videos. People expect quality videos so much so that non quality videos break through at times. Right. Like we're not in that marketplace anymore where people didn't have access to the high quality cameras and things like that. So what does that mean? This is good because it puts the onus back on the artist to have actual creative. We spend time. We create these concepts and all right, let's put this out. Let's do the video like that. But OK, that's a cool video. Cool doesn't do anything. Right. We need something that's better than cool, right? Cooler than cool, as Andre said, right? Because that's the stuff that's remarkable. I always go back to that the purple cow type phrase remarkable.  And it's not good, right? You either have things that are amazingly like amazing or you have things that are trash and worth talking about. Right. They're both worth talking about. Nobody talks about the stuff in the between.  Like, like, you know what I mean? Like people when American Idol launched of one of people's favorite part about it was watching the bad singers, right? Because it was a creating conversation worth talking about. So that's why some portions of bad content does move because it's about creating conversation, creating emotions, whatever that emotion might be. Then on the other end, you can do the positive version of that. I have some great content, but it has to be still worth talking about. What emotion are you trying to trigger when you drop this content and sometimes, well, pretty much all the time, it's after that you have that foundation. OK, you had a cool idea. Now let's step back. Let's become objective about it and what makes this something like what makes it something worth talking about? What makes this really interesting? Not just because it was in a cinematic shot video and you told a story. Yes, you told the story. That's good. You have a video that actually some people's songs, they have a story. You didn't want to tell that specific story. OK, cool. You got the baseline story. Now, what's the thing that's going to make it worth viewing like TV? That's what they have to do. They have to put these elements of suspense and things like that. You're no different. It's all content. Newsflash, none of this stuff is it's different. We don't there is like as a consumer. Yes, we get told these are different formats. And I like doing this versus that, but it's all just content, whether I'm watching a commercial, whether I'm watching this interview, whether I'm watching a movie at the movie theater, big screen, whether I'm watching reality TV show or I'm watching like my own videos, like just scrolling through my own phone, right? The guy so much so a dude. I think this might have been Ogilvy. This is like back in the 1970s, back when TV was the thing, right? TV was this Instagram, this this all these YouTube, all these social media platforms. And he was saying if a commercial isn't interesting and worth watching without the sound, then it's not a good commercial, right? Well, that applies today. Like these elements do not change. At the end of the day, we're just watching and consuming. It's is it interesting or is it not? Does it hold my attention? Does it not? Simple question. You know what to do.

Welcome to class 16 on topics in power electronics and distributed generation. We have been talking about active anti-alending in the class and last time we looked at the relationship between power and voltage and we modeled the feeder as a parallel RLC resonant circuit and looked at the relationship between power and voltage and then how you could add power voltage characteristics to cause the voltage to have not a stable operating point but can actually go out of the nominal range. Then we started looking at the reactive power versus frequency relationship and we are able to get a relationship this should be the relationship between reactive power. So, this is Q the relationship between reactive power and frequency related to your quality factor power and frequency and at the nominal 50 hertz your power of the injected by the d g is 0 and we saw that if your frequency deviates by delta f say reduces by delta f then your reactive power drawn by the load would increase by delta q.  Then we looked at what would happen if you had variations in L and C around the nominal values and if your essentially your q of your load increases that would correspond to the situation where your L reduces. So, drawing more reactive power or C also reduces. So, this would correspond to then a situation where your resonant frequency will now settle down to a higher value or the on the other side if your q load changes in a polarity where your q reduces that would correspond to L prime going to L plus delta L and some C prime being C plus delta C and the corresponding resonant frequency that it would settle down to is at a lower value. And if you look at what would be the operating point with the nominal reactive power being 0 output from the d g that would be essentially a flat line and you could look at then what would be the final operating frequency depending on what the final resonant frequency of that particular system is. Then you could look at what is the next situation here we looked at where the there is variation in L and C around the nominal value you could then look at what would happen if your there is a change in reactive power from the d g. And here what we are assuming is that the d g power variation is modeled as a equivalent L C load variation and essentially if once your upstream switch opens in the on the feeder then essentially under that condition after switch S 1 opens you have your q load is equal to q d g because there is no delta q coming in at that particular point from the model of the system that you are trying to analyze. So, q load is what is being consumed and q d g is what is being sourced at the d g point.  So, this would be your original value and if it shifts up then essentially you could think of it as a now operating at a equivalent as a equivalent load with what we saw was it would be L minus delta L or C minus delta C. So, you would settle down at a higher operating frequency. So, similarly if you have a drop in reactive power then essentially your operating frequency would actually come down to a lower value. So, it is possible to shift the operating frequency of your island based on adjusting the amount of reactive power that you are injecting from your d g. So, if you look at it from a way on what you would do to destabilize the feeder you could link your reactive power to change in frequency that is measured at the d g. So, essentially what you do is change your output of your d g with some gain times q q quality factor power operating frequency with delta f. So, you could think of essentially your block diagram as under nominal conditions q d g command would be 0. You could measure the frequency and pass it through a high pass filtered or a wash out network to get the change in frequency. And you can link that with k q f and provide this and depending on the type of d g that you have whether it is a synchronous machine or a inverter you could link it to the exciter. So, in a synchronous machine you can control your output bar by adjusting the excitation level in a power converter you would can control the amount of reactive power output by controlling your quadrature access current which your in phase current would correspond to real power your quadrature access current would correspond to the reactive power. So, by linking in a manner in this particular manner you could think of shifting the operating frequency. So, the idea is if you have a disturbance which would cause say your frequency to lower. So, as an example if you have a case where your frequency dips then essentially what you do is you lower the war output from your d g and the lowered war output from the d g would cause a further dip in your frequency. And this is further measured in measured at your sensing point leading to further reduction in frequency and essentially your system operating frequency goes out of bound. So, one thing that you can see in this particular analysis that we did for your feeder along with the distributed d g source in a case where you have unintentional islanding is that and compare it with what you expect from a traditional power systems analysis book. In a traditional power systems analysis book the link is between power and frequency and between voltage and reactive power. So, whereas that is not the case in what we have analyzed so far the main reason is that the model that we take for the feeder is different from the model that is considered typically in power systems analysis. If you look at the large transmission systems, the large generators, the major portion of the loads in a power system is actually machine loads more than 60 percent of the power consumed actually goes into large motors. So, if you look at that the model in that particular case is a machine with large inertia. So, there the link is between the energy and speed of the machine where the model is the of the power going to accelerate or decelerate the inertia. And then the other thing is that you look at the lines the equipment they are predominantly inductive. So, you have see transition lines with high x by r ratios. So, you can consider that to be primarily inductive. So, in a situation such as that the link would be different from what you get in the model of a feeder where we have taken the model of the feeder to be a parallel RLC resonant load. But overall the objective and the case where we are trying to detect an unintentional island is to make your operating point unstable. So, if you have say your voltage amplitude versus time and at some particular instant t naught say your upstream switch open. So, the idea is to have a destabilizing term such that your voltage goes out of bound. So, you have a v high or a v low which would be the thresholds at which your d g would detect and disconnect. And depending on whatever it is you look at the ability of your anti islanding algorithm to be able to detect in a short duration that your voltage has gone out of bound or if you have frequency you are looking at your frequency versus time you have say a nominal frequency and at t naught you your upstream switch disconnected. And then you have a f high or a f low and depending on when depending on when you are able to detect that the frequency went out of bound you can trigger the relay at your d g source that something has your your nominal condition has gone beyond your range your operating condition has gone beyond acceptable range. So, the d g has to disconnect and this duration that you typically have is less than 2 seconds because you want to be able to detect that unintentional island has occurred before upstream recloser recloses. So, you want this detection to happen fairly quickly. So, the disconnection can happen anywhere upstream of the on the feeder and the d g can be anywhere located anywhere along the feeder after the disconnection the unit which is actually making the detection of whether it is islanded situation or not is detecting its voltage at locally it is not able to detect at some other point. So, it is taking that measurement on a local basis and based on the local measurement it is making a decision whether to stay connected or to disconnect. So, in literature there are a variety of algorithms that people have looked at methods that people have looked at for both passive and active anti islanding. We looked at under and over voltage under over frequency we also looked at reverse power flow based detection people have looked at other methods such as power factor change rate of change of power rate of change of frequency whether there is a sudden phase jump on in your system whether there is a large imbalance that is happening on in the in terms of the voltage whether there is a increase in T h d that is being measured. So, some of these methods would be considered passive because here you are just observing whereas in the active methods you are trying to introduce changes such as actively trying to change your operating frequency or change your power level voltage level etcetera. So, it goes by a variety of names, but you now have a feel for what is a underlying principle that people are trying to adopt essentially you are trying to take stable operating point and make it unstable. So, that your actual voltage is measured and if you see that your power levels or voltage amplitudes or frequency goes out of bound that would correspond to a situation of unintentional island. Also you there are always advantages and disadvantages for many of these schemes and to find improved methods for detecting an unintentional island is a area of active research. So, one thing that you would have seen is that from the point of view of detecting and responding to a fault on your feeder and if you are for a variety of reasons you would need to disconnect from your feeder and you need to do that fairly quickly. And couple of primary reasons would be to disconnect from the grid for protection coordination, protection and coordination also to prevent formation of unintentional island. And there is another reason why you would like to disconnect rapidly from the grid and this is where you want to operate as a intentional island. So, this is primarily for power quality reasons.  So, if you can rapidly disconnect from the grid it means that the duration of poor power quality seen by the load can be reduced by a faster switch. If you look at then a traditional electromechanical circuit breaker your operating duration is 2 to 5 cycles and that would be considered instantaneous. So, the fastest disconnection might be of the order of multiple cycles whereas, if you look at semiconductor based switch you could switch in a much faster manner in less than a cycle whereas, if you look at a semiconductor based switch. So, if you look at then a situation where you have the grid potential distributed generation source and then switch which can connect or disconnect then you have two possibilities. So, you could have the grid so you might from a power quality perspective you might be normally under normal condition you might be connected to the grid and if you have a situation where your grid power quality is poor or the grid goes away you have a blackout essentially you want to switch over and connect to a DG. Then in terms of operation of the DG for power quality perspective there are two possible ways in which you could operate your DG you could have say a cold standby which means that your DG is deenergized and it needs to start up before. So, normally the grid voltage is there if you need to change over first you need to start up your source before you can actually transfer over to the source and this would be typically the way you would run a diesel generator set. And if you look at the start up time of gen set it can take 20 seconds for a really fast start up gen set to minutes for something which might need a little bit more warm up time to actually start up and stabilize to a normal operating condition. So, one possibility is in response to the grid power quality being poor you then start up a gen set then the duration of outage seen by the load would be longer of the order of then 20 seconds to a minute depending on what is your start up time another way of running at would be a hot standby. And if you look at essentially a situation such as that it means that your voltage over here is available all the time. So, that would correspond to a situation where for example, you could have the machine spinning at under no load or it could be a UPS which because the power loss in a UPS can be much smaller compared to the power loss in a gen set your UPS is always having a output voltage or many UPS can actually start up in a much shorter duration depending on how quickly you can start up your inverter. So, that would correspond to a hot standby basis which means that essentially you have voltage available and in this particular case the speed with which you are able to transfer over is then entirely limited by the speed of the switch. So, here you are not waiting for a DG to start up if your switch is faster you can actually transfer over in a much faster manner. . So, if you look at power quality applications so use of electromechanical and semiconductor based transfer switches are commercially available solutions. So, there are commercial transfer switches that are both solid state and electromechanical. So, then if you look at a semiconductor based switch what you and compare it with say electromechanical switch then you can look at what would be your advantage and what would be the penalty that you would have. So, you can look at and if you look at the speed definitely the electromechanical switch is much faster if you look at the number of cycles your semiconductor based switch can operate much larger number of times compared to a mechanical circuit breaker because after given number of operations may be 10,000 20,000 cycles you might have to look at your springs and do servicing of your breaker. Whereas your semiconductor based switch can operate for millions of cycles and without much degradation. Then if you look at the other aspects you look at power loss the power loss in a semiconductor based switch is much higher because of conduction loss on state drops etcetera. So, your electromechanical switch is actually more attractive from power loss perspective if you look at it in terms of electrical ruggedness your electromechanical switch can take much more abuse in terms of surge current surge voltages etcetera compared to semiconductor based device. So, there is definitely advantage of electromechanical compared to the semiconductor based switch in terms of electrical ruggedness cost definitely the semiconductor based switch is actually much going to be much more expensive. So, there are tradeoffs. So, you can see cost is a important factor for many commercial applications. So, if you are willing to pay the cost it means that your load has some definite advantage by the improvement in power quality that the electromechanical the semiconductor based switch can provide just if there was no net overall cost advantage then there would not be an incentive to go for a semiconductor based switch. So, then in terms of the semiconductors you could then look at what are the possible semiconductors if you look at the earliest devices that were available in solid state those would be the power diodes the S C R etcetera the thyristors. So, the S C R or the silicon controlled rectifier would be a early device that was that is that has been available since the 1960s. So, comparatively compared to other devices it is a mature technology compared to I G B T is transistors etcetera it has much higher surge current rating. So, if you look at the peak to nominal current rating of S C R it would be higher much higher than that of an I G B T also if you look at in terms of the on state drop which has a implication for power loss the on state drop of an S C R is actually lower than that of typical transistor. So, of similar rating so S C R based semiconductor switch has been some other thing a particular technology that people have looked at for now quite a while. So, if you look at S C R so it is it can be thought of as a switch where to turn on you apply a pulse between your gate and the cathode when you have positive voltage across the anode and cathode then the device would turn on a S C R cannot turn off by itself. So, you need a external circuit to turn it off in a AC system you have voltages going through your currents going through 0 crossings. So, you have a points where your currents go through 0 and you could make use of that to actually stop conduction within say a cycle or so. And for turning off you would need to keep your current in the S C R to be below the holding current of the device for a duration greater than its turn off duration and with no gate pulses applied. So, that would be what is required to turn off the device and after it is off to turn it back on you have to apply a gate cathode voltage pulse when you have positive anode to cathode voltage. So, what we mentioned was a S C R has higher surge current capability. So, if you look at the higher power S C R they are commonly available in what is called as a press pack packages. So, essentially the press pack packages have couple of advantages that are beneficial one is it is possible to have very high current devices. So, the press pack packages essentially what is like a plate a cylindrical plate and essentially now one side would be your anode the other side would be your cathode and you would have leads for gate and cathode that is coming in from the side. So, to hold a press pack devices device in place you apply pressure on the top and the bottom and now that would mean that you have conduction of power loss from two directions compared to one direction for a traditional say I G B T module that is mounted on a heat sink. So, your thermal resistances can that can be advantages in terms of thermal resistances also because you are applying pressure from the top and bottom of such a device you the fail a fail device would typically fail short because any failure would cause the device the local junction to get damaged and the damage junction would essentially then short between your anode and cathode. Whereas, in a module type of device the modules are connected with wire bonds and if for some reason the module ruptures then there is a possibility that the rupture can cause the failed module to fail open in which case you can have a failure that can either be short circuit or open circuit in case of a heat sink mounted module. Whereas, in a press pack package when you have failure it is typically a short circuit which means that now if you have a device that fails you can have a series connection of multiple devices and you can have redundancy because the failed device is short the next device can always be used to actually control. So, for many high power applications where redundancy is a important concern you could then consider a press pack package which will give you benefits. One disadvantage of the SCR compared to something like the modern day IGBT is that SCRs need snubbers for protection. So, you have dv dt snubbers to prevent spurious triggering spurious turn on also you have you need over voltage protection if there is a surge voltage to prevent that surge voltage from triggering inadvertently triggering your SCR you need voltage protection also you need dv dt protection because once you turn on if suddenly a current large current flows through a device in a rapid manner you can have current crowding overheating of information of hot spots and that can lead to damage of the device. So, you with SCRs you would need to use snubbers for its operation. An example of a SCR base transfer switch is shown over here. So, what is shown is essentially a single line diagram of a transfer switch and you have two sources the first source might be considered a prime source. So, under normal conditions your power flow would be from your prime source when the prime source for some reason if the power quality becomes poor you switch over to a secondary or an alternate source and you have in typical transfer switches you might also have some additional switches for normal operation and for bypass operation. For example, under normal operation your switch S 1 n S 2 n and S 3 n would be on your bypass switches S 1 b S 2 b would be off and whether your power is flowing from source 1 or source 2 depends on which set of triistors you are triggering. You might have a bypass operation where S 1 n S 2 n S 3 n is off and S 1 b or S 2 b is on depending on which source you want to bypass to. So, you might make use of this bypass switches to say for example, if you want to repair your main SCR's and still provide power to your critical load or you want to do some modifications on your alternate source you might typically operated in a bypass mode and then ensure that your what was servicing repairs etcetera occurs during a bypass mode and under normal mode you are able to switch between your prime source or your alternate source. And if you look at what the this arrangement is trying to do under normal conditions your power flow would be from V 1. So, your S 1 f and S 1 r would be triggered under normal condition and if for some reason the power quality at V 1 becomes poor if the voltage drops or if it gets gets to distorted or if the some parameter goes out of the acceptable range for the critical load then you want to shift over to V 2. But there are few methods for shifting over to V 2. So, methods of transfer one is called open transition in open transition essentially it means that to transfer from one source to the other first you open both the switches and then there wait for a small delay to ensure that the switches are perfectly open then you turn on the switch to which you want to transfer to. So, here you are having a break before make operation and here the delays can be longer and the power or voltage would be seen by the load for a longer duration. The other possibility is a closed transition in a closed transition essentially you turn on both the switches first and then you turn off the switch you want the source which you want to disconnect from. So, here this is make before break and here if the voltage of the sources are not well matched then there is a possibility for surge currents between your two sources. So, it would the closed transition will not work under all situations or you might end up tripping a breaker or some other switch. Also you could have say something like a forced transition where if you have a primary source and a alternate source and your alternate source can be controlled and it can be controlled in such a manner that you could make use of the voltage and current capability of your alternate source to actively force commutate your outgoing SCR then you could have a transition in a shorter time frame. So, if you look at typical situation you might use a combination of say of these methods. For example, when you are going from prime to alternate you might use open transition because the prime to alternate transition is because you might have a outage in the main power. So, if you do a closed transition you will have a surge of power between your two sources, but when you go from alternate to prime you might have a closed transition which means that now your grid has returned back to normal and you want to turn off from your alternate source and return back to the grid because now both are in the nominal range you can actually connect the two sources together without having a big surge current and then with minimal disturbance to the load you can actually achieve the transfer. Also you could think about a situation where you have a possibility of making use of one source to commutate the second source. So, say if the load is at unity power factor. So, if you assume it is a resistive load and v 1 and v 2 are in phase then you could think about say if you are operating in the positive half cycle of the voltage and if under that particular condition if the prime source voltage went away because of an outage then essentially your if you look at the switch that would be conducting under that condition it would be s 1 f is a positive half cycle s 1 f is conducting current because the resist load is unity power factor. So, this voltage has say gone down to 0 and now this voltage is also in phase which means that this is also seeing a positive voltage. So, if you can turn on s 2 f then you could reverse the apply a negative bias to your thyristor s 1 f and be able to turn off the thyristor by making use of your alternate source. So, in this particular manner you could actually get faster transitions and then you could look at what would be the worst case scenario what would be the maximum delay possible and typically what people have seen is that with transfer switch you can have a quarter cycle delay. So, people talk about a transfer switch of quarter cycle speed and a challenge in many of this transfer switch is to differentiate when to transfer and when not to transfer because you can have many false troops. For example, you might have some small phase jump or some smaller amplitude changes or some harmonics which might be acceptable. So, how to make a decision when to transfer and when not to transfer that is actually a challenge in transfer in such a configuration. So, when you need to definitely make a decision to go across and when not to because if you are thinking about a large load you are thinking about transferring a large amount of power from one source to another source. So, there are consequences of shifting large amounts of power and you do not want to minimize the number of false change overs. The third requirement of such a transfer switch is that you have a switch where you always have the possibility that you might have short circuit in your load and your switches have to be able to handle the high current levels when your load itself has a failure which means that the switch should be capable of handling not just the nominal load current, but also the short circuit currents that the load might encounter. Even if it is for a limited duration of may be one cycle or two cycle, the semiconductor should not get damaged in that short duration. So, designing these transfer switches are quite challenging people if you look at the design of a transfer switch you have two sources if you then look at people also talk about static breakers here you do not now do not have an alternate source to help with your commutation which means that it is even more challenging your duration and delays might be longer than quarter cycle it can be 1 to 2 cycles. So, configuration of a semiconductor based circuit breaker is shown over here where you have the semiconductor based breaker with switches for normal operation and switch for bypass operation depending on how we want to operate your system. And again one main concern in the system is how to handle the peak requirements, the peak in terms of how to handle the fault current requirements and also the continuous power loss that would happen in the semiconductor device when it is operating under normal conditions. People have also looked at hybrid approaches of trying to combine both electro mechanical and semiconductor based switches to minimize your power loss, but have the rapid disconnection capability. So, there are a variety of approaches such as this that are available, but again you have the issue of handling the power require the peak power which would then reflect back in terms of the junction power loss and also the increase cost of now having just a simple breaker now being replaced by a more complicated system consisting of semiconductors plus the other switches for normal operation different modes of operation. So, in a example such as this you could have a semiconductor based breaker and you have the main grid coming in. So, in case there is a poor power quality or the need for detection of an unintentional oil and on the feeder then you can rapidly disconnect from the grid using a semiconductor based switch. Your DG would then continue to provide power to your critical loads, you might have some secondary loads which are not that important which you might be able to say it can actually have a blackout or a outage, but you might have some important loads which are critical which you want to ensure that it stays up even when the power quality goes down. So, this also shows an example configuration where you are using a DG not just for providing power to the main grid exporting power, but also then simultaneously to provide power quality for your critical loads in your facility. So, for references related to these issues you have IEEE standard 1547. So, here this is a recommended standard it is just a recommendation it is not enforceable, but then you have similar issues that are shown in things like UL 1741 which is a underwriter lab standard. So, if you need a UL seal on your equipment which is required for maybe financing etcetera you would need to meet that particular standard. So, many times recommended standards become indirect financial incentives to actually follow and achieve that particular target. This is a one reference which is available from the general electric website on relaying. So, many of these issues reflect back on relaying also you have the journal articles on intentional islanding. Thank you.


It was a great opportunity for customers community to participate in the 8th of this global operation because we all know that 115 countries participated in the operation and most of them were from customers agency and personally I felt in the coordination center that our bond amongst customers officers were being strengthened and also the bond with other agencies were being strengthened as well and as it is one of the biggest operations that we could participate I think we were really feeling a part of the world fighting against this menace it was great the biggest message that we'd like to convey is that we are so dedicated and we are so responsible to this a global menace because it is often said that two thirds of all the intercepts when it comes to counter medicines is made by customers of all the law enforcement agencies so we feel a great responsibility towards this issue and we'd like to keep asking cooperation from other agencies and from the citizens as in the public as well and we are customers community and we are the VCO so we'd like to ask their cooperation
