Thanks again everybody. We've got more baseball up next


Before we go on, let's actually do the formal regression using only the single predictor of the energy balance model simulation as a predictor of the Northern Hemisphere land temperatures. We'll run the regression. Here, EBM, target observation is temperature, we'll run. We see that the R squared value is 0.716. That means a fairly impressive just under 72% of the variation in Northern Hemisphere land temperatures is explained just using this energy balance model. If we look at the value of rho, the lag 1 auto correlation coefficient, 0.067 tells us the auto correlation of the residuals doesn't appear to be a problem. So let's go back to the plot. And now we're going to plot the regression model output instead of the EBM. But we'll put them both on the same scale here. One, this one. And you can see that it does provide, as we saw before, a fairly good fit to the data. It explains just under 72% of the variation of the data. If I turn off these plots and look at just the residuals from the model, we can see that the residuals still look pretty random and that doesn't appear to be a whole lot of structure. Although there's quite a bit of interannual variability, and perhaps we can explain some of the interannual variability through two other predictors, the El Nino phenomenon and the North Atlantic Oscillation phenomenon, two internal climate modes that influence Northern Hemisphere land temperatures. So we'll look at that next.


Hey everyone, I hope you're well. Welcome back to my channel or if you're new here. My name is seppy and Today well tonight.

The Rimmel London Scandal Island. And a NYX lip liner in Addiction. No, it's not NYX. You look so cute there. It's a Rimmel lip liner in Addiction and it's one of my faves. It's so classic before I got into NYX lip liners. I put the body through some testing. I never do this.   So I played for Mummy. You know the song I Love It by Kanye West. So obviously she wasn't listening to the lyrics and she just thought I wanted her to dance with me. So she's dancing to this I Love It song. Poor thing. And then I told her and she was like... Talking. So you know like last week we laughed with him cheese. We laughed him like Brent Cross. Which is like the shopping centre by the way. Over here in London. And then my mum cheesed. My mum cheered. I wanted to... I can't even sing three songs in my head. So we just... We didn't do the same thing. We said let's go to the mall. We said let's go to Brent Cross. I was like okay. Anyway, I just put the legs through the body. And I put it like... I just put it through the body. And then we went to the car. We said let's go to the car. I walked from the escalator. Then my mum cheesed healthily. Then my two sisters cheered. And then she didn't know if it's my mum or my mum.  She just had a girl. So she didn't wear a mask without a mask. And she just put two of her hands over here. She just put on a mask.  She just had two of her eyes on the putty. What did you put in your bag? Mom, I just told you that I was going to buy it. Mom, I just told you that I was going to buy it, and you told me that I was going to buy it. Mom, join in. I'll be like, it's really nice to be here. So I just got home from uni. I can't get over the fact that it's getting dark so quickly nowadays. Like, I find that so mad. Also, I thought I'd show you guys this coat that I got. So I got this coat from Topshop. I got it online, and I think it was the last one. I'm not sure. I got it in size 8, and it kept me really warm today. Yesterday, when I was on placement, it was so cold in the clinic that I genuinely could not focus. It was an audiology clinic, and genuinely, all I could think about was the fact that I was really cold. And I just, it was pointless in me being there because I feel like if you're really cold or if you're really hot, which is the polar opposite, then, which is the polar opposite, like, you always wouldn't know that. But what I mean is, like, if you're really hot or if you're really cold, then you're just, you're not going to be focusing on what you should be doing. You'll be focusing on the fact that you feel uncomfortable because you're either too cold or too hot. And obviously, in the NHS, we have a policy called Bear Below the Elbows. So if we're, like, on wards and in clinics, et cetera, then we need to have our sleeves up until our elbows and nothing on our wrists or anything like that.  So, yeah, I wore this really warm coat into uni today and I felt really nice and warm. Speaking of clothing, I also got a huge delivery from H&M. It's, like, all the stuff I've bought for fall. And I'm really sorry that my house looks really messy. I actually don't even know what's going on, like, I can't even give you a valid excuse. But it's all a mess. And, yeah, I'm just going to have dinner now. It's, what am I saying? It's 4.45. Actually, I could have dinner if I wait, like, 45 minutes. I have a snack. Then I'll have dinner at, like, six. This week I feel really lazy. I don't know what's wrong with me. As in it's only Tuesday and it's only four o'clock. So there's time to, you know, change this around. But right now I'm feeling really lazy. And what is with this lighting? I feel like I'm confessing something. Okay, I'm chatting too much gibberish. I'm going to end the vlog here. I hope that you guys enjoyed this vlog and the world's sleepover. And just what we get up to when we're mucking around. Don't forget to check out my socials. They're always linked down below.

Hello everyone. So this video is a bit, it builds off the last video, which I'll link to in the description below where I talked about contacting end clients versus translation agencies, how the mentality is very different when you're contacting end clients rather than agencies, because you need to be able to put yourself in their shoes and see things from their point of view. So this is an exercise that I want you to go through to see if you're ready to contact end clients. Just briefly, once again, when you're a freelance translator, you have translation agencies who aggregate all the translation jobs that are needed and hand them out to the specific translators, but they're working for the end clients. A lot of translators want to contact these end clients because obviously they pay you more, but it is a very different mentality when you contact them. So good exercise to see if you're ready to contact them would be the following. First of all, you should take what you do, your job as a translator. You should come up with, say, five words that describe what you do. Five words to describe your business. And so do that right now. Like for me, it would be, say, I don't know, translator, languages. I mean, editing I do as well. Italian and English. Those are my languages. That's five. There you go. So I want you to do the same thing for yourself as a translator. And they can be other things. Maybe it's your strength. Like I'm a fast translator. I'm a precise translator, something like that. To come up with five words that describe what you do right now, jot it down, type it up, whatever it is you're doing. I'll wait. Okay. I apologize to those of you who actually pressed pause there. Now I want you to take these five words, this list of five words that describe what you do.  When you have a conversation with an client, you should not be using these words. And that can be very hard. I mean, I'm thinking right now, my words like I have translator translation, you know, how am I going to communicate what I do to a perspective without using that word or without using the languages. But the fact is my perspective doesn't care about all that. If I take the example from last time where it's a bank or someone who works in finance and they're expanding to a new country, they're wondering if they should partner up with a company in some other country. That's their project. That's what they're doing. So the translation is a small part of it. So when I contact them, I need to show that I understand what they're doing from their point of view. And so I need to describe how I can help them without using those words, because I need to describe it from their point of view. And like I said, almost certainly they're going to have, they're going to need something more than just a translation or at least what they're looking for in their business is something more than just a translation. So if you want to be picked, you need to be able to be able to offer a bit more than just a translation. And that's what you need to concentrate on. So if I'm approaching a bank, I'd say look, I see you're expanding into a new market. This is something I can help out with. I know a lot of the problems that can happen, a lot of the pitfalls. Sometimes you can't understand or you can't trust people that you're dealing with in that country. And I can help you out with that because I've dealt with some of the good points and some of the bad points. And I'm willing to work with you and help it out and help you figure out if you should pick this person or that person. And it's something that I have experience with and I can help you out with. Obviously this is purely hypothetical, but there I was able to describe a way that I could help that person without using any of those of those words. And because I was able to do it from their point of view and not my own. And I didn't sit there listening. I'm a translator from Italian to English and I'm a very precise translator and I always edit all of my translations because I do a very good job. Thank you. No, they don't care about any of that. I mean, they do marginally, but that's not what their day to day business is, right? That's not what's bothering them about their business that they're trying to get done. So I think that's a very good exercise to do when you're trying to approach end clients. By the way, if you're any type of freelancer and you want to contact end clients or if you're doing even consulting or stuff like that, I think it's a very good exercise to do to put yourself in your perspective client's shoes. And to take out those five words or whatever it is that describe what you do when you contact them. Feel free to try it. I do think it will help, at least also to get you in the right mentality for approaching them, for approaching these end clients. So I hope you found this useful. If you did, please don't forget to click like because that always helps. Don't forget to subscribe for more videos that talk about freelancing and freelance translation. And that's it for now. I'll see you in the next video. Thanks. Bye.


Today, I'm gonna talk about anxiety and I'm gonna give you a formula to remove yourself from any anxious thoughts, any anxious feelings and any anxiety that happens to be going on in your present moment or anything that might come up for you.  And it's actually a strategy I've used for myself. And it's actually a strategy, the reason why I'm talking about it is because it's a strategy I had to use for myself at 4 a.m. in the morning a few days ago. And I don't know if you guys have ever done this before where you wake up in the morning, it's early in the morning, maybe you have to go to the bathroom or you hear noise or dogs are barking or something like that. And then immediately a thought comes through of something that needs to be done or something that you have to do or it could be an anxious thought. I don't know what it is for you.  You can't stop it. And so a few nights ago, we've been super, super busy in my business this week. We have an event that we're planning which we'll tell you about later. We have a mastermind that we're planning that's coming up as well, another three day event. We have tons of other amazing things that are coming up and it's all good stuff. But the problem is I woke up to go to the bathroom and immediately one thing that I had to do popped into my head and then it was a cascade of all of these different things. Oh my gosh, I'm behind on doing this. I've got to reach out to this person. I've got to get a quote for this. I've got to get this, this. I have to negotiate this price. And it started to become all of these anxious thoughts rolling into my head. One of the things that's a huge misconception is because I'm a mindset guy that I must have this perfect mindset and nothing holds me back but nothing can be further from the truth.  And so what happened was I had the first thought, I had the second thought, third thought and I was sitting in bed for about 45 minutes. So it's about four o'clock in the morning, right? I'm in bed and I'm like, I'm not falling asleep. It's not happening. And I was like, I have to get up and I have to use my strategy on myself and I had to get up and I had to get my journal. So I went into the living room, I got my journal, four o'clock in the morning and I started journaling some of the stuff that I needed to and I'm gonna take you through exactly what it is that I did for myself and what I've done for many other clients as well. I've worked with a lot of different people that have anxiety problems and this is just one of the strategies I've come up with. And the first thing is the awareness that I'm having anxious thoughts. That's the first thing, right?  Oh, okay, yep, I've done this before. I know exactly where I am. I'm in the middle of anxious thoughts. I need to then remove myself outside of my head. You know, it's like the quote when you take yourself, if you don't take yourself out of the jar, you can't read the label. Inside of the jar is inside of my head. I need to take myself out of my own head, become the observer and say, what is actually happening here? Oh, too many thoughts, too many anxious thoughts. And one of the things about anxiety is that anxiety comes from your thoughts. And when you Google and actually start to look up and research anxiety, there is no cure for anxiety. And the reason why is because it comes from your thoughts, there's no actual, hey, you have anxiety, this is the chemical that you should take. Now I will tell you this, people do have that you can go to a doctor and if you have too much anxious thoughts, they will give you stuff to then make you feel different and put different chemicals into your brain, but it's not a chemical imbalance, right? So I've had anxiety attacks before in the past. It's been a long time since that's happened. I've been around many people in the middle of anxiety attacks. I've worked with many people who have anxiety. Some of them that have such crippling anxiety, they literally cannot even leave their house. Their social anxiety is so high that they haven't left their house in two to three years. And the reason why is because it all comes from the thoughts. And when thoughts are in your head, they're extremely hard to deal with, right? It's like trying to grab water. Like when your thoughts are in your head and you're trying to work through thoughts, it's like trying to grab onto water. Like you will never really grab it. It's always gonna get away from you, right?  You need to get all of your thoughts and put them on paper because to try to wrangle up your thoughts and to try to figure out what's going on and figure out how to work through them is like trying to punch somebody in the dark. Like you're not going to see that person. Maybe every once in a while you take four, five, six swings and on the hundredth swing you might hit that person but then they're gone again and they move.  They're trying to figure out what's going on in their head. They're trying to figure out why they feel the way that they feel. They're trying to figure out why they're sad, why they're depressed, why they're anxious, why their life isn't going the way that they want to but they never get a fricking pen and paper and write down what's actually going on, right?  If you have ever learned how to journal for me before in the past, it's super simple. You just ask yourself questions and then you force yourself to answer it. So I was writing down and I noticed that I was having anxious thoughts. So I said, what am I having anxious thoughts about? And I just wrote them down. And there was like 17 things. It was like a massive list of all of these things that started flooding through because so much was on my plate. So many plates were spinning at one time. Kind of what happens sometimes when you grow a business and the higher you go, the harder the wind blows, right? The wind was blowing hard that morning. And so the first thing I wrote down is what am I having anxious thoughts about? And I wrote all the different things down and I just brain dumped, put them all down. Okay, I've got to do this for this person, this for this person, this thing has to happen. I got to make sure that I plan all my podcast episodes. I've got to record all the podcast episodes, this, this, this, this, all of these things. I put them all down on a piece of paper, right? Then what I did is I took each individual one and started working through it, right? I started working through each individual one and then helped myself come up with a plan. And so let me show you how this works.  But if you feel just anxious thoughts, you feel sad, you don't feel right, this is something that you could use. So you write down and say, what am I feeling anxious about? What am I not liking? What am I fearing right now?  You take it out of your head, you put it on that piece of paper, right? The next thing you ask yourself is what's the worst that could happen? Now you might think this is not a good question to ask somebody who's in the middle of having anxious thoughts, but it is because I'm going to show you exactly why that is, right? So what's the worst that could happen? The next question is what's the best that can happen? Right, because I want to contrast the worst that can happen. And then the last step is what, last question is what is my next best step to make me feel better right now, right? So let's go through those questions and talk about why they're important and exactly how to work for them, okay? You write down the question, what am I feeling anxious about? And you write down all of the things that you might be feeling anxious about, all of those, right? We all have things that can pop up in the back of your head. We all have busy moments. We all have stressful moments. We all have sad moments in our life. But what we're doing by actually writing it down and not letting it be in our head anymore, we're putting on a piece of paper is we're basically in that room trying to punch somebody in the dark and we flip the lights on. And we're like, oh, they're right there. I see them. That alone, 90% of the time makes somebody go, okay, it's on a piece of paper. I feel so much better about it because it's not abstract anymore. It's there. It's literally tangible. I can see it on that piece of paper. Usually that starts through relief. And a lot of times people don't know what's making them feel anxious. And so when they're able to take it, put it down and identify it, it already just by writing it down makes them feel so much better, right? So that's the first thing. Let's identify. Maybe it's one thing. Maybe it's 17 things like it was for me, right? Now let's go into what's the worst that could happen. Here's why this is important is because when you don't put it on paper and you're dealing with it abstractly, your brain makes up these fears that are completely illogical and are ridiculous, right? Oh my gosh, if I don't end up getting this done, I'm gonna lose my house and my kids and my family.   That's never gonna happen, right?  So when you write down what's the worst that could happen and it's like, oh, I could lose my job and my family could be homeless and my kids could be homeless and my wife could divorce me and I could be a terrible father. And then you look at it and you're like, yeah, but that's not gonna happen. Like that's ridiculous. And usually that's what happens when you actually take it and put it down on paper and you see it. You identify, once again, flip the lights on so that you can see what's going on in your head. So what's the worst that could happen? I want to identify that and I want to get clear on what that is. Because then I can go, ah, that's not gonna happen. I'm not gonna let that happen, all right? Let's go to the next step. What's the best that can happen, right? So let's look at it positively. So if I'm up all night and I'm going, okay, like for instance, we have this event that's coming up. I have to get the event, the contract, the AV video team, I've got to negotiate all that stuff. I've got to get the place figured out. You know, we've already got it. I've got to get the contract signed, all of that stuff. We've got to get the audio video team completely separate. Got to get them negotiated, get the contract done for them. Then I start thinking about all the things that I'm planning and the worst that could happen is that it doesn't happen, right? And that would suck, but it's not, the world's not going to end. The best thing that could happen is we have a bunch of people show up to it. Everybody gets there safely, they feel amazing. They're able to make new connections and a hundred lives are impacted, right? That's pretty damn exciting. And so now I'm looking at what's the worst that could happen and going, ah, that's probably not gonna happen. And then I'm looking at what's the best that could happen and I actually feel better about this thing that I was having anxious thoughts about that kept me awake for a while, right? Usually it doesn't go as good as you think it's gonna go, but it goes way, way, way, way, way, way, way better than the worst that could happen, right? If there's like a medium ground and the worst is all the way over to the right and the best is all the way over to the left, usually in that medium ground it's gonna swing a little bit much more towards the left than is the right. So I want to actually identify what is the best thing that could happen through this?  I can't even understand what that would feel like to go through something like that, right? But you could go, what's the worst that could happen? You can work through and they say, what's the best that could happen? Well, we go through this divorce. We go our separate ways and I become a free person again. I can refine myself because I felt like I lost myself in that relationship. And then you're like, oh my God, what can, what, how amazing would it be for me to find myself and who I truly am and who I've grown into because I grew apart from this person?  I do wanna get this divorce, right? So it can take something that seems positive and turn it into negative, right? So what's the best that could happen is the next question. And then the last question is, what is my next best step to make me feel better right now, right? What is my next best step to make me feel better right now? What action can I take to make me feel better, right? So for me, what it was, I was like, okay, if I'm looking at all these things, I put down all of the action plans of exactly what I needed to do in all of those 17 categories, all of the stuff that I needed to do. I was like, oh, okay. Yeah, I can do this tomorrow morning once everybody wakes up and I can get on the phone calls and I can negotiate and do all the stuff. I can get my team on it as well. So I was like, okay, I'm looking at all this stuff. It's four o'clock in the morning, 4.45 in the morning. I can't do anything about it right now for most of these. So what's the next best step for each one of these? Did them, okay, wrote them all down. Now what I'm gonna do, the next best steps to make me feel better right now, I was like, what's the next best step?  Like it's amazing that I'm focusing on these things that are kind of trivial. And I'm not saying all of people's things that they're stressing out about are trivial like mine happen to be, but it's not going to ruin my life in these circumstances. So I was like, you know what? I need to focus on gratitude because if I come from a place of gratitude, if I come from a place of love, equanimity, peace, I'm going to go into all of these 17 things and feel better. So I was like, all right, I'm gonna meditate. I'm gonna focus on gratitude, you know? Maybe for you guys, it might be like, okay, I need to have a conversation with this person. That's the very first thing I need to do right now. Maybe it's like, I need to go work out. I need to go for a run. I need to call a friend.  That's why I'm stressed out. You know what?  Because then what happens is I've identified my anxiety culprit, right? I've shined the light on it. I've identified what could happen, the worst that could happen. I've identified the best that could happen and now I have the action that I need to take in order to make me feel better. And by doing all of this at literally 4.45, five o'clock in the morning, made me feel so much better and I went from not being able to fall asleep to, okay, I've got everything on a piece of paper. It's all ready to go. As soon as I can start doing work in the morning, I was like, I'm gonna put on meditation. I'm gonna feel some gratitude. I'm gonna try to make myself feel better and I consciously breathed for 20 minutes and I was consciously, and when I was breathing, I was going, I'm going to feel my body relax with every single out breath. For 20 minutes, I was like, I'm gonna consciously feel my body and I went from this high vibrational buzzing state of like, oh my gosh, anxiety, stress, stress, anxiety to calm, peace, felt amazing. What happened? Fell asleep. I was like, whoa. Wake up a couple hours later on my couch. Did my morning routine? I got my journal, I looked at all of the things and then one by one started knocking out every single one of them and had a super frickin' productive day and all of the anxiety around everything was gone. All of the stress around everything was gone. Why? Because it was all in my head. I needed to take it out of my head. I needed to shine a light on it. I needed to work through what's the worst that could happen, the best that could happen and what is the immediate steps that I need to do right now to make myself feel better. So I woke up, I did my morning routine, I got my journal, looked through all of the stuff that I had, started knocking everything out because I had my action plans. I had exactly what needed to be done but the most important part was number one, identifying what was going on, excuse me. Then what did I do after that? I actually went, you know what? I'm gonna write it all down. I took it all out of my head and I put it down on a piece of paper, right?  So you're not trying to grab water anymore, so you're not trying to punch that person in the dark, flip the light on, see the person and go, oh, there it is, that's the thing that I need to work towards. So know that when you're feeling anxious thoughts, there is a strategy to get out of it. This is the four steps, the four questions to ask yourself. Next time you feel stressed, worried, fear, anxiety, any of those negative feelings, I want you to use this, try it, and I guarantee it'll make you feel better.

Hi everyone, my name is Steph. This is a little bookish teacher and welcome all welcome back to my channel. Today I am going to be reviewing some books that I read on Libby. So for those of you who don't know Libby is an online book borrowing service I have two library cards to two library systems here in Victoria and through those two library cards I can access Libby and borrow and download books and throughout this year I have been exploring that service and downloading not only ebooks but also audiobooks particularly kids ebooks and audiobooks because I get a slightly wider range and slightly different titles than what I might see in stores or Even in my school library So it's been a really great experience and what I've decided to do recently is actually just spend some time exploring some of these titles And then putting them into this review video for you. So these are mostly picture books. There are some Juniefiction early chapter book titles. There's some of the I Can Read series as well Which I really love but yeah, I thought I would talk about them with you And I'm going to insert a clip of me actually just scrolling through the things that I have downloaded on Libby at the moment There's quite a few things and I will admit that I actually didn't read everything that is on this particular little video list But I will talk to you about the ones that I did There are also a few holds that came in in between when I filmed Sort of the little clip of looking at the books that I actually had out and by the time and the time that I actually read them The first book that I'm going to talk about is gull which is Stormbird by Trevor Formile and Jingaloo This is a First Nations story is setting cans It is a picture book about the oral traditional tale of the Stormbird that heralds storms in the area So it is about a boy called gull who ends up taunting the rainbow serpent and is trying to outsmart the rainbow serpent But is eventually outsmarted himself and is transformed into the Stormbird This book has really beautiful illustrations and is one that I definitely want to get a physical copy of It was not one of the traditional dreaming stories that I had heard before and so it was a really interesting read for me in that regard So I'm glad that I found it on Libby and I'm glad that it's on there as an e-book So more people can access it because that does make it far more accessible I also read Nothing Rhymes with Orange by Adam Rex This is a picture book that is quite simply a rhyming text about a fruit bowl and a collection of fruit who All have things that rhyme with it, but orange just feels left out because nothing rhymes with orange There is a lovely message in there about friendship because the fruit are all friends and they want to try and make sure that orange feels included But overall it is a great text for rhyming. It is a little bit silly and fun But it is you know full of rhyming words So it's great for that wordplay and language play and I really loved the collage illustrations in here It made it really fun and enjoyable just to look at the pages in the book So I had a great time with this one then I read Shy Willow by Kat Min now This is a picture book about a rabbit named Willow who lives in an abandoned mailbox And then one day a letter arrives in the abandoned mailbox and you know Mail doesn't often arrive because it's abandoned Willow reads the letter and it is from Theo and his mum and it is a request to Be able to see the moon and so Willow sets off to try and Accomplish this for Theo and his mum and it's just a gorgeous gorgeous book The illustrations are beautiful the endpapers in this were just stunning There are narrative pages mixed in with wordless story pages as well Which is really cool as you see the journey that Willow takes and it is really about a character who is shy But empathetic and the bravery it takes to go out and try new things that are scary for the sake of other people Because Willow wants to do something nice for someone else. So a gorgeous little story great message in there as well I also read brave molly by Brooke Boynton Hughes. This is a wordless picture book It is a story that is told through panels So it's almost like a wordless graphic novel, but it is a picture book And this is about a young girl who is obviously dealing with anxiety and how her anxiety breeds monsters of her own making And how it stops her from doing things that she might try It touches on social anxiety making friends and how hard that can be and also about facing your fears and being able to recognize That you do have the power to make a difference for yourself And so it was a gorgeous little book to read and explore and again like all of these it has great illustrations And I liked that metaphor of those monsters that are following and multiplying because everything just becomes big and Overwhelming for you. I also finally read charlie's swim by edith right now. This is another first nations picture book It was just a really great read This would be perfect for older readers and it follows charlie who is living in broom in the early 1940s during world war two And broom at that point was a refuelling station for people who were escaping the war and was attacked at one point And this is the story of charlie who is trying to help save a woman and a child Who have escaped the war and their plane ends up being shot down and they need to be Rescued and spammed to shore and it's how charlie helps them It's based off a true story and a true person Which I thought was really amazing and to read the author's notes and find out a little bit more about Who charlie was and this time period in northern australia was really really fascinating The book itself is actually written by a descendant of charlie's which makes it a family story as well And it has some of the most beautiful language in there some great tier two words like distressed and billowing that you can Explore with students then a completely different tone of book. I read the pen grooms by paul castle This is a gorgeous story about two penguins who Love to bake and make wedding cakes and they're constantly making wedding cakes for all the other animals around them And then they decide to have their own wedding and it is so precious and so gorgeous The illustrations in it are just so cute and I absolutely loved it It was queer and gorgeous and just a lovely lovely story to read Then we're moving away from some picture books into some junior fiction titles So I read pete the cat and the sprinkles stealer by by james and kimberley dean I've been a big fan of pete the cat for many many years and this is one of the i can read comics So it's I think it's i can read one comic. So it's very very simple We have secret agent meow investigating baking supplies that go missing around the time of a baking competition So sprinkles go missing flower goes missing and secret agent meow is on the hunt to track down who is responsible for it It's short and sweet and very easy to read. I also read jordan is ready This is by megan boggart spaniel And this is a very simple story about a girl who is getting ready for various events in her life Whether it's school or sport or going outside when it's raining It's a great one to read with younger readers who are just learning how to dress themselves and get ready by themselves And building those independent skills. It's a very simple reader. It has very bold Illustrations it's colorful and it's told in you know single sentence pages So it's it's a really great one for very young readers. And then I read a couple of i can read level three books So there was cc loves science push and pull by kimberley dirting And this one is about cc who is engaging in a stem challenge with her class And their challenge is to create a treat dispenser for dog biscuits, which is very cool They have a dog in the classroom and the dog is very excited about the possibility of getting treats I love that it includes science concepts So it really hooks in those kids who are very engaged in science and want to know more There are experiments and games that are included at the back of the book So kids who are interested can actually go off and try some of them Which I think is really really cool And there is also a glossary of some of the scientific terms that are mentioned at the back of the book So it does take this from being just a fictional narrative into something with a little bit more information In it which does hook in quite a few more readers at that age group And then there is gg and ouija. What's in a name by melissa? ouija I think So this is the story of gg who whose full name is geraldine, but she is always born by gg And then one day she feels like that is too much of a baby name And so she wants to be known by various names And so she tries out being known as geraldine She tries out being known as hanako, which is her middle name She her family is of japanese descent and she and her grandfather her o gg are exploring Using those names and seeing what fits for her and despite the fact that she wants to have a more grown-up name She doesn't really respond to them because she's always been known as gg and that's what she responds to And so it's this exploration of names Of their meaning of how they are intrinsically linked to us It's about compassion because she wants a name that her o gg can pronounce and can say easily And geraldine is not one of those names and it's also just about the lovely relationship between a grandparent and a child It's a really really sweet story. This one also has a japanese word glossary at the back of the book as well I need to find more japanese-english picture books because I think this was a really fun thing to explore And then the last book is queen narell by selly murphy and this one is actually more of a junior fiction novel It is a verse novel and it is told from two perspectives We have the cat queen narell and her owner maddie the perspective of queen narell plays into that Superioness of cats and is really fun because queen narell surveys her family and Is observant of everything that's happening in her family and what she notices is that maddie is unhappy And that is because from maddie's perspective. We know she's having friendship issues at school There is a student who's being quite mean to her and separating her from her friends And so maddie feels quite isolated and so we alternate perspectives between queen narell and maddie as maddie is Is experiencing that isolation and queen narell is trying to be there for her in her cat way There is a great discussion in here around friendship There is a great relationship between maddie and her parents and the way that they try and resolve this issue Is actually quite healthy and i wish quite a few parents would read this book because the parental response to the bullying situation is Spot on it's about standing up for yourself And it's also about the companionship and the relationship between humans and their pets Or pets and their humans as queen narell would suggest so it is just a gorgeous little book I didn't realize it was a verse novel when i read it thought i know the name selly murphy I want to read this book and i was so glad that i did all right So those are some recent reads from liby in the comments I'd love to know if you've read any of these books or if you're planning on picking any of them up Or if you have any other suggestions that are similar to the stories that i have talked about feel free to let me know down below Everything will be linked in the description And if you'd like to let me know that you're here, but you don't want to leave a comment feel free to leave a Bookstack emoji Otherwise, I hope that if you're on the world just staying safe and healthy and i will see you in my next video Thanks so much for watching. Bye everyone


Hello and welcome to another episode of our special series beating all odds. We are all officially shut in our houses for over two weeks now.  In these unexpected unprecedented times, while we are struggling to do our day to day tasks, there are leaders who are sitting at home running businesses, they're managing agencies not only in their own country but also in some neighboring countries. With me today is one such leader, Mr. Ajay Gupta, CEO, South Asia Wavemaker. Welcome to the show, sir. Hi, Nazia. Thank you. Thank you for having me. My first question to you is, how does it feel to get into a crisis as big as this within three months of taking up a new position? Yes. It couldn't have been more sudden for me. But yeah, this is exciting. This is something that is completely unexpected. It's straight out of the Hollywood movie. And really, no one can plan for this and no one can be ready for something like this. And honestly, therein is the excitement and the challenge of coming through this. There is opportunity here. I believe if marketers and V agencies play it well, there is an opportunity here. And I look forward to coming out on the other side of this stronger. What do you mean by opportunity? So things will never be the same again. There will be a lot of changes which will happen. Brand rankings will change. Customer behavior will change. And it is imperative on us, the onus is on us to write this change and stand along with this consumer while he is going through this change in behavior. And at the end of it, hopefully we stand stronger in his consideration taking us forward. What kind of changes in customer behavior are you expecting? So there are several changes. For example, a lot more time going to be spent possibly on screen. There is going to be increased OTT consumption given the fact that entertainment is required right now and therefore they are going to lean in more on OTT. There is going to be increased inclination towards e-commerce. There is going to be increased gaming possibly. And these are things which are going to happen and going to be a fallout of this thing that has been put on us. And while we are seeing massive changes right now, we will not go back to normal. We will end with slightly higher levels than we got into this lockdown. So there is the kind of things that we will see changing. You are saying that in this lockdown period there will be a behavioral change in the sense that we will continue to stay more at home and consume more digital. No, so more digital is being consumed right now. People will get used to better quality of programming, of OTT kind of programming. These things will become part of your life and as it will obviously not be at the same level as we are seeing right now in the lockdown. But it will remain a little higher than it was when we got into this lockdown. You have very big clients, very big advertisers as your clients. There are many of your clients who are big advertisers. What kind of plan are you making for them right now in this crisis? Telling them, advising them to stay away from putting in, of course production is shut. What kind of suggestions are you giving to your clients right now? So yeah, this is a tricky situation actually for all clients. Because yes you are right, production is a problem, distribution is a problem. Getting stocks to the distributors, getting stocks from the distributors to the consumer, to the stores is an issue right now. Most e-commerce is also not delivering even essentials. They are having problems delivering essentials and the local store has become more important. So the challenge is definitely there. You don't have the ability to reach out to your product to the consumer. So at one end, the advertising, you would say, I might as well protect this money and use it at times when it is more useful. But then at the other end, there is also this thing of not, of losing the equity in the mind of the consumer. And then gaining it back will be that much more difficult at the other side of the lockdown. So somewhere it is going to be a mix and this depends by category, depends by brand. The key thing really right now is to find some intelligent ways to retain communication with the consumer. A lot of brands are doing it, a lot of case studies of brands which are finding innovative ways to stay in touch with the consumer. It's also tricky, you know, you can't seem to be taking advantage of the situation. So it's tricky for brands, you have to play it very carefully. You have to be genuine, you have to be honest. So you can't be completely off, but you need to find a way to keep engaging with the consumer. And also, somehow keep very, very closely in touch with the situation on ground. Because when it does come back to normal, we have seen in China, we have seen from examples in China that there is a surge in demand. And you have to be there. So it is a balance actually right now. The key thing that we're doing is we are sharing information with our clients. Information on what's happening in media, information on what's happening in different categories. Information in what's happening in different parts of the world. Because we exist in so many markets across the world. We have our offices in China also, which is ahead of the curve in this situation. We also have learned from those markets. So we are sharing all of this information with our clients. We are being in touch with them and talking to them and trying to see what are the best ways to manage their investments at this moment. So there is no simple answer depends on every client. What are some of the key learnings that you are observing from China's example? Some of the key learnings that we are observing is that there are the brands that have managed to retain some equity in the minds of the consumer are the brands that are benefiting a lot more at the end of the lockdown. The brands that have been completely off are struggling to build that equity back. So that is definitely one trend that we are seeing. And therefore it is important to be there in some form while obviously acknowledging the fact that you wouldn't want to invest all your money right now. Given that there is very little off-tick. In some cases where you have frequent street or you have retail, the sale is completely zero. But then it's a tricky balance that you need to maintain and be around. Be present in the mind in some fashion. Also this is the time when the consumption has increased a lot. I mean television can be television or be digital. So what is this particular point? How are you communicating this to your advertisers or your clients that you know this is the time when the consumption as for park numbers. If we talk of news channels, the consumption has increased by 268%. It is like again another unprecedented thing that is happening right now. So what kind of, how are you looking into this aspect of. So actually this again goes back to our first situation. So there's one side of it, which is the advantage of media being at its most effective possibly. But also the other side of the coin, which is that the brand possibly does not need or needs to save up a little bit of their investment. So it comes back there. We are using the advantages or the increases in media profitably to the client. So there are some genres of programming, which are going up a lot more than the others. There are some media which are not as fast based as the others. So we are keeping the client constantly informed of all the shifts. And given the objectives of the brand and given what we would like to do at this moment, we are utilizing media to our advantage. You also have Netflix as your client. Their consumption right now I think is must be at its peak and not just India almost across the globe. I mean I don't want to know the exact plan that you have made for them, but I would want to understand what is, as a media advisor, what is your suggestion for a platform like that? No, so obviously it is a fantastic opportunity for Netflix. These are those tipping point moments that come and a brand must make the most of it. And yes, so our recommendations are to work with the brand. Obviously I can't tell you too much, but we all recognize it. How do they advertise? So it's about getting the consumer to know that there are entertainment options available, which are far superior. Is it more on television or digital? Yes, so a lot more on, you see it is all in home media right now because there is very little out of home. So yeah, so it's a mix of TV and digital that we are using. Apart from what you are doing with your clients, you also have hundreds of people working with you. And these are very gloomy days, a lot of people are directionless. They do not know how to keep their spirits high. So how are you handling your team at this juncture? Absolutely, it's definitely a challenge and it is far more difficult than one would. On the face of it, if you were to tell people before we went into the lockdown that you could work from home, people would have taken it with open arms. But as we have all seen, we are actually working a lot more in this managed from home environment where the lines between home and office are also blurring. And we have other challenges at home like managing stuff at home that needs to get done since you are in the house. There is no house help and a lot of people who the couple is working has house help and now they have to manage everything on their own and the office is on. So it is challenging. So I think the first thing is empathy. We all understand the challenges and like my people, like the 600 people we have in office, even I am going through those challenges and I am completely empathetic of what they are going through. This is something we need to understand and we need to be flexible with them. I think that is important. The second thing is to be in touch. There is nothing like communication right now. It's tough. There are some singles we have in our office and they are locked up in a house alone. It is not easy. It is definitely not easy. There is no one else to talk to. You need to do everything on your own. These are tough times. So communicating with people is most important. So we have tried to ensure that there are fixed times of communication across levels. Me with my executive committee and then so on and so forth. And then us communicating with each office at one time. So we have had some very interesting chats with having the whole office come on one call, which is great fun, getting them to put on their videos and sharing and seeing the other people around. So one piece is communication. Second piece is I think we need to have some fun and that is what we are trying to do. And what has been nice is that people across the level have taken initiatives. So we have someone from our data team who has started classes on data analytics, which I think is such a fantastic initiative and it took off so well. There is so much traction in what she has started. So that is a wonderful initiative. It came completely from the person and it's a big hit. There's another team which had a jamming session. So they were singing one of Friday evenings. It was so lovely because people were coming, contributing, getting their guitars, playing a song, an unplugged event across cities. It was fantastic. The amount of energy, amount of positive energy and it gets people to interact with others and feel part of the whole and not feel isolated. We have also done some quizzes and some kind of excitement is constantly being done. I am very fortunate to have very young, passionate people who are pulling it off on their own and that is nice to see. So in that sense I think to go back to what you are saying, this is a challenging time for our people. One is to recognize that it is a challenging time and to support them in whatever way is possible and to try and communicate and keep spirits high. So as long as we can do this, I think we are managing to stay together as a flock. Honestly, I believe the kind of connections we have made today in these last two weeks you don't normally get to make in an office. So normally I would be in an office in and out of meetings, where we get to meet everyone on a regular basis. But here I am talking a lot more, communicating a lot more on a one-to-one basis. A chat like this is as personal as it can get. And I think that is the advantage that we have all seen in these last few days. Coming back to the larger economy and the impact of this crisis on our industry, how much do you think this is going to slow down our growth this year? Yeah, so this is not going to be easy. And I hope for all of us that we are in a position to get out of the lockdown as soon as we can. It is important that everybody supports the lockdown and stays at home and manages it. Every week we lose is going to affect us more. All of us are into scenario planning, so looking at what happens if we manage to get out of the problem in April, May, June, whatever, depending on when the lockdown ends. It's going to hurt us deep. It's hurting us at the grassroots level. You have the lowest common denominator, the daily wage earner who's been hit the most. His consumption, which is the bottom of the pyramid, is getting affected and therefore it keeps going up. So it's going to be quite bad. It's difficult to put a number on where we will be. But all I can say right now is I hope by the end of April we manage to recover. At least manage to get back into work, into more normal life. Even after that it will take at least six weeks or maybe longer, eight weeks to come back to regular consumption. So it's going to be at least a quarter of a hit, a good quarter being hit in April, May, June. All of us together hoping it comes out soon and we can get back on track. It is also put a lot of pictures on hold, right? So a lot of other things will also open up once the lockdown is over. That's right. Which sector you think will be affected the most? It's like print, television, digital of course appears to be the least affected. But how is this entire thing going to affect the print domain? So like you said, television and digital have been least affected and possibly have been positively affected. Print has been negatively impacted basically because they have not been able to distribute. And even after they have managed to get government to go ahead to allow newspaper delivery to happen, there are societies which are not allowing newspapers to come into the society. So it's definitely is a challenge right now for them. But print has survived and they have been innovative and they have really put themselves together. Doomsday for print has been predicted for the last 10 years I'm guessing. But they have managed to stay afloat and they have been innovating. They've added digital, they've been doing a lot of on-ground activations. They're bringing themselves together. So I'm sure they'll find a way to stay to come back and they should be okay. Even after for that matter must have been completely. So that's what I was coming to. The worst print is out of form. I feel for them. I mean it's a complete wash out. So it is a challenge. But you know I'm just being positive about it. Once this gets over life, we'll come back to normal. People will hit the cinemas again. People will be on the streets again. So it will come back. But yes, they will feel that it for these two, three months that we will all be away from normal life. There are crises like this which I doubt you have experienced anything similar ever in your life. What are some key lessons that you have learned? In these two weeks that we have completed, we are almost in the last week of lockdown. Hopefully. Yes, so actually there's a lot of learning. There's a lot of introspection also. You get possibly some time to think. Time to think when you're not traveling really. Because all of us when we talk, we feel our days have become far longer. We are starting our days earlier, we're ending them later. And we're constantly on the phone or on the teams. And trying to get work done. Yeah, so but I think some of the things definitely that possibly I have learned is one is to stay a lot more connected. I have enjoyed being a lot more in touch with my people. And I think that is something that I would like to continue going forward. I think we have all realized that there is merit in work from home. And it is not as unproductive as it was thought to be. And we can definitely use that. And maybe there will be a lot more work from home as part of normal process. Because it is effective communication on these apps which have all come up. Which were there but have started being used now is quite effective. And I'm sure that that will be used a lot more. And so to me personally, I think one is being connected with people with my clients. Which has improved a lot and quality communication in this form. Where you are a lot more personally connected is definitely going up. And I think that is something that can be a lot more as we go on. The other thing I think is empathy for each other. What I have seen is across teams, across between us and client. We have become a lot more understanding of each other in this situation. And I think that is something that we will take away positively with us at the end of this lockdown. We also feel we all have more time. Like it's been three months since you become the CEO. I was chasing you for interview. It was finally in the lockdown that you could give it to me. I'm sorry about that. You had so many meetings. You were always in some of the other meetings. And I was in different cities. So now we get that and we are still meeting all your people. That's right. And we have managed to find time and quality time. So that definitely is a positive. Because the whole idea of this series is to get leaders like you to inspire young people who are confined to their homes like all of us. But at the reaction less they do not. Maybe they're not as experienced as you. They do not know what to do in this situation. So what kind of advice would you want to give to them? This is a good one. I would say firstly look after yourselves. Use this time to do a little bit of exercise. Exercise is zero right now. Given that you're not even walking to office. Use this time to get some exercise and keep some time for yourselves. Eat healthy.  So use that opportunity. Find some time to learn a new skill if you can. The office is providing a lot of opportunities. So we are creating a lot of programs that people can join to learn a new skill. Either join that or join anything else that you've always wanted to do but never had the time to do that. And spend time with the people you care about. Call them up, speak to them. It's important to keep your spirits high. And we are social creatures, social beings. So it's important for us to be connected with the people we love. So I would say use this opportunity. Get healthier, get fitter. Use this opportunity to enhance yourself, enhance your skills. And stay connected with the people you love. Thank you so much Mr. Gupta for speaking to us. Anything else that you would like to add? No, you take care of yourself. And I hope this is done quickly. And we are back into action. And the economy and the way it is impacted. We are back with the family time also now. Thank you sir. Thank you very much for speaking to us. Stay safe, stay at home. Thank you. Yes, thank you. Take care. Thanks Nazia. Bye bye.


So I made these really pretty little lemon, lemon puddings in these Le Creuset croquettes and I'm about to throw some edible flowers on them. Going kind of minimalist with these, just one little pea flower, one little jasmine, both of these flowers smell amazing which adds a really nice fragrance to the dish. I got these out of the garden so I know they weren't sprayed with anything which is also kind of important when you're using flowers to decorate. Find this recipe and more at Le Creuset.


Hello, welcome, welcome everyone. So we will be going through our last module, the module number 4 for this particular topic of hydrogen energy from biomass and the coal. In the past 3 modules we have looked into the biomass, different technologies like pyrolysis and the gasification process, how to get the maximize the hydrogen yield through that using hydrogen in the biomass as well as in the through the steam as a reactant which reacts with carbon. So using carbon in the biomass as well as the hydrogen present in the biomass to give you hydrogen. Now we will discuss about the coal. So when we look into the coal first we have to identify or understand the fact that the coal is coming from your biomass. So biomass is what has given us the coal. So if you look into the time as we all know that there was a era called carboniferous period which is actually attributed to bulk of the coal that we have now. And the reason being there is a very interesting story about that. Is that coal that has come through all the era or whatever plants are today what we have, will it give us the coal after millions of years to the future generation. So this is a very interesting story and I have given these two links. I would request all of you to go through these two links. It is a very interesting story, a very interesting story that it was the lignin, it is the lignin which has given us the majority of the coal that we have. So in the early era of the evolution most of the plants, well it is not most of the plant but all the life evolved initially into the under the sea. Then from the sea it came to the ground. But in the sea there was a unique thing that even if the plant grows tall like this tree, if it grows tall there will be a buoyancy force of the water that will keep it floated. It will not fall under its own weight. But when the plants start growing on the land then the issue of how the tall trees can support itself. So there was a million of years, millions of years the plant did not have this compound called lignin. So and this is what you see the shrubs, the grasses and all which are very light in weight which will grow if they grow tall they will just bend down and will reach to a particular height on it. But to compete especially in the thick forest to compete with the sunlight you have to grow tall and that is how the evolution happened. But after millions of years the evolution gave this magic chemical that is a lignin. So this organic compound that is giving the strength, strength and the structural stability. Structural stability to the plants and the trees. So even it will grow it will not bend under tree and even for the smaller plants or the shrubs it gives the structural stability to withstand the heavy wind or the animals or any impact as such. So this lignin become a very universal for most of the big plants and trees and all. But there was a problem that still no microbes to decompose and that issue is still there but not 100% just to give you a perspective. All of you would have noticed just imagine a coconut shell or a big tree trunk somewhere lying in the open. If you have dry leaves, dry leaves or fruit and all if you see it in the open it will be just few days, a week or a month and it will completely get decomposed or some insect will come and eat it or microbes will decompose it completely to the sort of powder. But a coconut shell if you keep throw it in the open you come back next year the coconut shell still it will be there. You come after 2 years you may still see it there. You will not see any animal which will eat it because they do not digest you cannot digest the coconut shell it is very high in lignin. Very high in lignin we do not have enzymes which can digest the lignin thing. Same thing is with the microbes majority of the microbes do not have any enzyme which can digest or decompose this lignin thing. So it went again millions of years because evolution process is slow. It took again a million of years until fungus which was found or which was evolved which could digest which could attack lignin and can digest it and decompose it. But this fungus came millions of years later and now right now also you can imagine if you are in dry presses this fungus which needs high humidity to grow you will not see this but if you are in a very wet area or during the monsoon then only you will see the fungus grows and it grows every anywhere even on your wooden table in a wooden shelf it will grow because it can eat lignin it can digest it it can survive on that and most of the mushroom it grows on the tree trunk. So these are some of the evolution process which took some millions of years and that millions of years is called the carboniferous period and in this carboniferous period when the trees after their life they were dying out every tree will have its own life every plant will have its own life. Most of the other body parts accept the lignin part accept the trunk the branches everything will get decomposed by microbes animals insects they will eat it up but this lignin based trunk the branches they still remained unconverted and they just piled up over the in the jungle and it was not few years but millions of years it was million of years where it has covered the jungles in the forest in the with the pile of lignin and then through earthquake or through flood or through something it undergoes the under the ground and then under the ground within the thousand years it will decompose slowly but this is thermal decomposition now. So in the lignin lignin if you give heat it can undergo pyrolysis a decomposition will happen but there also lignin is much more stable compared to cellulose, hemisolose which also makes a bulk of your plant. So this peat and then further heat and pressure high amount of pressure so it has heat plus pressure that is moves more under the ground more under the ground high amount of pressure high amount of heat it converted it to lignite and the coal finally. So these are typically many people they identify in some literature you will still find this lignite and peat classified a different category of coal but we do not need to go under that thing but the thing is quality of the coal varies and how is the quality of the coal is varying is if we look into the fresh biomass fresh biomass which will have around 55 to 65 grams of hydrogen per gauge of biomass it has around 50% of oxygen in its molecular form all organic molecules will have 50% of oxygen by weight by weight and roughly around 40% of carbon by weight and little bit amount of hydrogen and some other inorganics like iron sodium chlorine and all it will be there potassium and all it has a calorific value of around 14 to 17 mega joule per kg. Now when we look into the peat which has come after that it stayed inside the earth crust for around 10 to 15,000 years it is a long period but still you have some 60% of organic matter still left so that is the you can see how slow the process was and how the slow the process is of the coal formation from the biomass. So still after 10 to 15,000 years 60% organic mass is there there is a very small increment in the calorific value then after 6 crores years or 60 million years after 60 million years what you get is a lignite which now has high amount of carbon and lot of oxygen has gone out as a moisture because it will be oxygen will be embedded in that the dry carbon and the coal will have or the dry coal will have less amount of oxygen in it the calorific value also almost doubles if you look into 14 to 17 mega joule in biomass and you have almost double the calorific value now then again few more crore of years or more than 100 to 300 million years now what you have got the carbon content has now increased to 60 to 80%. The decomposition is happening hydrogen and oxygen is leaving the system hydrogen and oxygen is leaving the system now you have no organic molecules left but just see the timescale 10 to 30 crore years 100 to 300 million years that has been the timescale when the trace of the organic compound has left still and the calorific value also improves in that and the anthracite which is like one of the best quality of the coal that you will get around 35 crore or 350 million years old which has 80 to 95% of coal negligible amount of moisture very high calorific value of this thing but hydrogen content is very very low only around 20 grams hydrogen per kg of per kg of coal. Yeah so hydrogen content is very low around 20 gram per kg of coal only so that is the overall evolution of your coal from the biomass so that is why I kept these two together now we understand what the biomass and how much is the biomass having hydrogen and then through the this long duration of period and under the intense temperature and pressure inside the earth crust then your biomass has converted to your coal of different categories under the different timeline of the period and every type of coal will have different content of your hydrogen but anthracite or butuminous will have very less amount of hydrogen in it. Now this is some of the figures that is the first heat decay of the vegetative material second stage is the lignite third stage the butuminous coal this you can see like a blackish which looks like coal and anthracite coal considered by some type of metamorphic rock. So in the literature we will see the different definition of this coal but this is more having high amount of carbon in it hydrogen is very very low in it most of the hydrogen has been lost during the coal formation. So now looking into the coal gasification so this gasification overall chemistry is similar to what we have seen in the biomass gasification process. It is the early 19th century technology coal gas was used to light up the streets in many European cities so that is coal gas and this is nothing but your carbon monoxide plus hydrogen so this was used to light up streets that was a street light system in the 19th century so you can just imagine how old and what could have been the gas which is carrying carbon monoxide in it is used for the street lighting interesting isn't it. Now looking into the quality of the product gas depends on the quality of the coal used if the coal has high amount of hydrogen it will have a little higher amount of hydrogen even though coal gasification it is the inherently the steam gasification steam gasification but if the coal also is of poor quality it will have high hydrogen it will have high amount of hydrogen compared to high quality high grade coal will have less amount of hydrogen in your gas or the synthetic gas. So steam gasification and two stage gasification plus shift reaction is used to enhance the hydrogen yield. So this is the hydrogen yield again the shift reactor that we have seen the reaction of carbon monoxide plus H2O that gives you H2 plus CO2 so to enhance the and this is the second stage or the what we say the catalytic conversion state never which is used for the coal gasification process for hydrogen yield. Now hydrogen production through coal gasification so coal is gasified first followed by the products gas passed through catalytic shift reactor with steam supply partial oxygen supply helps in exothermic oxidation and hence sustaining the overall process. So this is similar in the biomass gasification we have seen it is the volatile which was the gas reacting with oxygen and the exothermic reactions of volatile combustion was sustaining the endothermic reduction as well as endothermic paralysis and the drying process. But here the solid fuel that is the carbon itself is undergoing oxidation yeah the reaction will rates will be slow but if the temperature is maintained high if you design a reactor in such a way reduce the size of the coal particles to very small you can get a very high reaction rates here as well and that is what is done typically the pulverized coal is what is used in the coal gasification systems. Very small micron size of coal particles are used which enhances the surface area and that is how it enhances the oxidation process of the coal for this exothermic reaction which has sustained the overall process. So again the same Boardward process which is endothermic C plus CO2 and the water gas shift reaction CO plus H2 which gives which is also mildly exothermic process which is prominently sort of present here. We are not looking into hydrogen based reaction because hydrogen is not much into the system as such. So this system and then this carbon monoxide can be used through shift reaction to enhance the oxidation hydrogen content and this is the carbon monoxide which can be used for further second stage with the separate shift reactor where we can have the hydrogen plus CO2 giving you high amount of hydrogen plus CO2 and then to get the more amount of hydrogen through it. So this is the simple chemistry unlike biomass gasification reactor here the shift reaction is preferred to be in the separate second stage as such. Now looking into the coal gasification process. So coal gasification process is one of the higher amount of hydrogen around 25 to 30 percent 30 percent of hydrogen global hydrogen is coming through coal gasification and you can imagine there is a huge demand and then there is a huge requirement of big plants and all. This is one of the very simple means not very simple complex but very economical design. You use the underground or the earth itself as a side for the supporting the reactor. So here you can see this is your earth inside it they have dig up the reactor part and they had made the reactor inside the coal is supplied from here you have a oxygen separation plant oxygen is separated from the air and is supplied here and then you get the gas from it and you sustain the overall process overall the very big reactor you can make it inside the earth itself. So this is the very popular coal gasification system and is pulverized. So the typically the coal particle size is of the 5200 micron and typically the reactor type is pulverized coal in entrained flow or fluidized bed reactor. So these are not referred much into the fixed bed reactor like the earlier gasification that example that we have seen the figure that was the fixed bed packed bed reactor where bigger size of the biomass was used but here the smaller very fine size of particles are used because you have to enhance the solid gas reaction and that can be enhanced by increasing the surface area of the coal particles and that is done by pulverizing it pulverized coal and the entrained flow or the fluidized bed reactors are preferred here. So in the hydrogen production system what you have is you have a crushed coal that is pulverization happens here you put in the micron level size and the ash comes out the solid whatever the gas comes out you remove the particulate matter that is still some dust some ash will be flowing with it the solid particles you remove here then you have a special requirement of sulphur removal. And typically in biomass most of the biomass you will not have much of a sulphur that is problematic enough to remove it but in the coal the sulphur content is significantly high and this needs to be removed before you push it into the hydrogen separator because those reactor and also this water gas shift reactor the catalyst use gets poisoned because of the sulphur present. So that is how you need to remove the sulphur so there is a sulphur removal unit and after that you remove the CO2 and H2O H2O easily gets removed by reducing the temperature below 100 degrees by condensation CO2 is removed typically by I mean solution or by high pressure water spray and then this particular carbon monoxide or hydrogen you can use for different chemical or the fuels like we have talked about for example the F T synthesis F T synthesis which will give you petrol or diesel. But if you are looking for hydrogen then you have to go through a second stage reactor that is a water gas shift reactor because it is the catalytic reactor for high sort of amount of hydrogen to be produced it cannot be clubbed here where there will be lot of sulphur present in this particular reactor it would not be there we need to remove the sulphur first and then feed it into the shift reactor and then by enhancing the hydrogen we get more hydrogen. So this figure is talking about the fuel cell but we can use the hydrogen for any purpose after separating it from the system. So this is how the thing is there one of the very interesting sort of philosophy or the new thing that is getting prominence in research in India as well as the underground coal gasification. So let me just spend few minutes here quite an interesting thing this not again new technology Russians have mastered almost 50 60 years back. So what exactly it is you like we have seen here in this particular reactor you design a reactor you design a reactor underground but in the underground coal gasification what you are doing you are using the mine itself as a reactor here what we have done is we have mined the coal and supplied here this is coming from the mines we supply it here we pulverize it we do the processing transport everything we do and then we push it into the reactor we are just saving on the cost of the construction of the reactor but here what philosophy is once you start getting this coal out of the cavities you still have empty cavities in it empty cavities why not use this cavity itself as a reactor. So these cavities are itself of the coal which has high surface area because these are huge mines all the surface exposed will be will be able to give you a reaction site. So all these things are here and in this cavity what you are doing is you have an injection well you through injection well you push high temperature steam and then high temperature steam as well as some amount of oxygen and then you push into this cavity here it will react and it will give you in the production well you extract it up where you get carbon monoxide and hydrogen from the system and then after that you do the gas cleaning because of the reactor everything you have got the gas cleaning then pass it through sulfur removal then water gas shift reactor enhance the hydrogen content through it whatever you want to do it but the overall reactor is underground. So this whole huge cavities it will not be just bit like a building it will be kilometers long so these are the sort of a huge reaction sites that you can enhance once you can have a control over it but yeah it is not as easy as it looks because with the reaction and all this some of the was it start collapsing start collapsing and you need to have a control over that Russians master it long back but it is not a open technology from that still I think 1 or 2 underground coal gasification mines are still operational in old part of Russia I think before the USSR it was it is in I think Kazakhstan or Uzbekistan but right now China is also investing a lot in this particular technology and here this carbon monoxide and hydrogen you can put it through and put up a methanol plant put up a methanol plant from it methanol the major feedstock is carbon monoxide and hydrogen and then you can get methanol through catalytic conversion process so they are doing the carbon coal to methanol projects China is doing that and then India is also looking for that the reason being reserve of coal and the energy independence so you do not know you never know like even in the current time or maybe couple of months back you have seen the Russian Ukraine conflict you never know when the energy supply through natural gas or the petroleum will get interrupted every country every sovereign country looks into energy independence so that we have enough of all type of energy requirement we can fulfill at our own so here in India we have a huge coal reserve but our coal one of the problem is our coal is not a very good quality for the use in steel industry or the thermal power plant because of this the thermal power plant it is used but the quality is bad it has a very high amount of ash it cannot be used for steel production and all which requires a high quality high percentage of carbon in it so but these are very good for your gasification process and gasification process once you master underground coal gasification a huge big plant running continuously for the years at a very low operational cost can give you a upper hand upper hand over getting the synthesis synthetic gas or the sin gas then you can convert it to liquid fuels methanol liquid fuels get hydrogen out of it and use that hydrogen so energy independence in one of the things and underground coal gasification a cost effective cost effective gasification process can be one of the key for it so with this I just like to conclude this overall module and I hope all of you have understood and appreciated the role of biomass and coal for the hydrogen production the different process and the chemistry behind it and yeah just with the thought there is no better way to sequester carbon than preserving nature even if we are using biomass let us use the agriculture waste or the municipal waste whatever the carbon is coming through the waste let us react with steam and produce hydrogen from it with that note I would like to thank thank for taking up this course and going through this set of lectures thank you
