This is Think Tech Hawaii, Community Matters here. Okay, we're back, we're live. We're starting off on the 10 o'clock block here on a Wednesday, Energy Wednesday, I'd like to say. And where is energy on Maui in Molokai? So we had a trip there last Thursday, courtesy of Fred Riddell. He is the Commissioner of Energy for Maui County, and we got to see a number of things and wanted to catch up with him and see if we could sort of make analysis and figure out what it all means. So welcome to the show by Skype, Fred Riddell. Great to have you here. I'll thank you. Great to be on. So yeah, let's review first what we did. You set up the itinerary. It was wonderful to see all the things in Maui and then in Molokai that relate to the question of how energy renewables, especially how they're doing in Maui County. So can you take us through the itinerary and remind me? I was so tired we got back. I couldn't remember.  Right. Well, we started with Krispy Kreme donuts, but after that, we did go over to the Wahi Wind Farm owned by Sempra and took a look at those operations, interviewed the gentleman there that told us a little bit about how it operates, what they're doing. We learned a little bit about their environmental mitigation even and some of the things that they do there, which I think is one big part of renewable energy on Maui. There's plenty of wind resources that are currently being used. And then from there, we went over and toured at Maui Tropical Plantation. We toured with Pacific biodiesel and Bob King looking at one of their new crops of sunflowers. And to learn a little bit about what they're doing and what their vision is, both from an agricultural standpoint, a sustainable agricultural standpoint, and how does that link into energy and perhaps using that to produce fuel and learn a little more there. I saw them in PBN this morning. They concluded an extension contract supplying Hawaiian electric with biofuel. That's really a feather in their cap. They're sustained as a provider of biofuel. In fact, the peaking plant in Kapolei uses their fuel, a big tank of their fuel. So we really have local sustainability in the state over biofuel. Absolutely. It's an interesting product. If you need liquid fuels or even gas fuels, because the county itself is looking at digester projects to produce renewable metering gas, if you could import it or you can get the same product or the same value product, except we're in a renewable form by growing that locally. And so making some of those decisions are some important ones. And I thought that that would be some useful things to learn about on what's going on in Maui. Then from there, of course, we wanted to understand what the Maui Electric is doing. And so we went to the control room there, which I really kind of like. It looked like my old submarine days, a lot of things and blinking lights and knobs and such, which is just wonderful. You know, control room sophisticated, right? It's all the same nomenclature, control room, control room. Yes, yes. Yeah, control room, control room. Yeah, so luckily they don't have a con. So otherwise they'll start driving the islands around. But to really learn a little bit about how does that work? It's really complex right now for sure. They have a very they have a changing system that has different demands on it that it did before and then other demands like it's an aging infrastructure. And so and as we saw on Maui recently with a blackout for an extended period of time, one a day, a few weeks ago, you know, it's Maui Electric that's still bringing the grid up and maintaining that resiliency that the islands need to keep the economy going, to keep people safe, to be able to provide services. And so they're the ones doing that day in and day out. And so it was really interesting to learn a little bit about that. So then we wanted, I thought it would be useful to head over to Molokai because there it's just a little bit different than Maui. It's smaller. It's the control room, as you saw there, vermicro is smaller too. It's operated by one person. The plant itself is, you know, older, but you know, supplying the grid, you know, as it needs to. But the interesting thing there is that Mico is looking to bring that island from an electricity standpoint to 100% renewable energy sooner than other islands, which there's many different things we could talk about on that. But some of the interesting ones are that they had a battery project there that they have been working on to help support the frequency of the grid, which is different than just what everybody thinks about a battery is that I'm going to shift energy here. This high technology thing is trying to actually keep the frequency stabilized on the grid, which is another interesting thing we're able to do. Yeah, 60 hertz. Can you talk about what that means and how you maintain it? Sure, sure. Well, it's, you know, alternating current. This is how most of our grid is, although like portable tape panels and such are in direct current DC, they all, when they go back into the hop home or supplying our outlets are converted through, in that case, an inverter back to produce alternating current. That current that alternate current is operating at 60 hertz. It's how many cycles per second that the voltage fluctuates. And so the that's what you're trying to maintain in a very reliable grid would have that frequency holding very close to 60 hertz at all times. It was traditionally maintained on the grid by having high inertia, big rotating steel machinery. But as we've transitioned in time to having less of those things operating or operating at lower megawatts, they're not providing as much of that inertia on the grid that previously was there. And now you're not getting a lot of that currently from the portable takes the technology that was used for a lot of those doesn't support that, although that part of the technology is also changing. So that grid needs something like this battery there. That what it does is it's a very small battery, but has a very high power level. So if you're looking at a battery to sort of these two components, how much power can deliver at any moment and how much energy it can deliver over a period of time. And so for for this one, it was a I think it's a if I recall correctly, a two megawatts battery, but only about for 18 minutes. And so what that's doing on a grid that's actually at a peak of about three to five megawatts is it's really becoming the big dog in the system and able to move the frequency or hold the frequency very steady, which is a very innovative project. The other things that I understand, I believe we spoke there of is that they're looking at installing a load bank for the grid there to where they want to be able to have over frequency protection where if you didn't have this, you could imagine that the frequency goes very high and perhaps damages some equipment in your home or something like that. So those sort of new technologies are going to be needed on the grid as we transform it to 100 percent renewable energy. Yeah, I noticed in both control rooms we saw, both in Maui and in Molokai, there was a big readout. I guess it's all about big readouts is in the middle of all these monitors and readouts, big readout for the Hertz. And I remember particularly in Maui, it was, you know, it was it was changing from fifty nine point nine to sixty point one and back to sixty again. So the Hawaiian Electric is looking is monitoring this all the time to make sure it's within tolerable limits. The same thing actually in Molokai. So I guess this is I wasn't aware of the need to do that. And now clearly there is a need, obviously, and they're monitoring it. And and now they have these batteries in Molokai. They can I was very I was very impressed with the quality of that station, even though it was diesel, it seemed very compact and efficient and it had this new battery equipment. So all of that was a very interesting tour of the Molokai control room. Yes, absolutely. It was a it's a very interesting plant to to look at. And you're right, they're continually looking at frequency. They're at every moment balancing the amount of power on the grid. So every moment that a cloud goes over a photo will take planters over some homes and that one's not generating as much as it was at some moment where somebody plugs in a large load, like now electric vehicles coming on the grid. Those are becoming larger and larger loads, depending on the charging system. You they they have to continually adjust the amount of power that's getting injected or not injected into the grid to balance it at every moment. All the electrons either get consumed, you know, that were generated in every minute. Yeah, that's really what they're doing is maintaining that frequency and that power. And then the voltage, of course, is is going to be, you know, then another new or another key components as we start to look at two way power flows on the grid and if people start generating from what used to be distributed down out to the house, they generate power back from that direction. The voltage on the grid is going to be different everywhere. And those are going to be new opportunities. And that's really the interesting thing is is that Hawaii has all of these opportunities coming to learn to actually come up with new solutions that could be exported out of Hawaii and really do Hawaii well. And so setting 100 percent renewable energy goal is giving this opportunity that the rest of the world could actually use. Yeah, and I think it's worthy to note that this, you know, that the technology that allows us to work the grid this way to bring all the elements of the grid together in an efficient way. It's part of the march toward renewables. We need to do this and the comforting point of the trip. Was that we are doing this. We are using new technologies to balance the load and otherwise become more efficient in in doing that two way two way directional on the energy you mentioned. I'd like to ask you one one thing, though, Fred, before we take our break and is the half moon project is going to change things in Molokai. Can you just give us the specs on that? Well, I don't know the exact size. And I think that that's still in discussions between Miko and that vendor and I believe that they have a non disclosure agreement. So all the information about it isn't that public at the moment. But I understand that they are looking at doing a large scale battery and photovoltaic project near the power generating station to deliver a good portion of the energy throughout the entire day and into the evening with the batteries. And so that that definitely will be, you know, if it moves forward, you know, another interesting aspect for that island is similar to what was being done on Kauai with the Tesla project first and now an AES project. Both of those will have have similar characteristics. And it's an interesting move forward for the utilities. I believe that some of the solicitations that they may move forward with now will include concepts like that to provide something that's more firm or just as firm as you need it to be. We don't always need 24 hour availability of every single unit. But we do need firm and flexible renewable energy so that that can be delivered in many hours, not just at the moment that the sun is shining. Yeah, I see it as a march forward. Anyway, we marched all around Maui, Maui County with Chris Reynolds who is from what Maui Electric and Todd Kanja who is from Hawaii, Hawaiian Electric here in Honolulu to have this great tour with Fred Redell last Thursday, learned a lot. And, you know, to me, one of the basic principles that I learned was the need to need to take this technology, step forward with it. And it's necessary to do that on the road to renewables. And Hawaii is actually on the road to renewables. And it's comforting to know that this is happening in Maui and also Molokai. We can take a short break. We'll be right back and we'll see if we can look at this from the 50,000 foot level and see the statewide landscape and try to get a handle on where Maui County is in the statewide landscape and energy will be right back with Fred Redell. This is Think Tech Hawaii raising public awareness. This is Think Tech Hawaii raising public awareness. Good evening. This is me, Angus McTech, the longtime host and starter of Yibachi Talk. Think Tech is important to our community because we bring all kinds of cool ideas and I bring gadgets to the to the show, so you got to watch it for sure. But for the first time, Think Tech Hawaii is participating in an online web-based fundraising campaign that raised $40,000. Give thanks to Think Tech. We'll run only during the month of November and you can help. Please donate what you can that Think Tech in Hawaii can continue to be public awareness and promote civic engagement through free programming like mine and I'm a charge. I've already made my donation and it's really hard to get disgust when to make a donation, but I already did.  Thanks for Think Tech dot Cosbox dot com. Say that three times fast. Closing on behalf of the community enriched by Think Tech Hawaii, 30 plus weekly shows. Thank you and we're mahalo for watching Think Tech and your generosity.  Hello. Okay, we're back. We're back. We're live with Fred Riddell who was the guy who organized this great tour we had of Maui and Molokai last Thursday. Fred is the energy commissioner for Maui County and of course that covers Molokai. So let's let's try to look at this from, you know, the larger perspective, Fred. You know, we visited a number of installations and if you connect the dots, it starts to give you an idea about how Maui is doing and how Molokai is doing as against the larger landscape of renewables and the march to renewables in the state. So where would you say Maui County, including Molokai is or are, you know, as as compared with other islands and and the you know, the target, the goals of the state in general. Sure. Well, I mean, there's many areas to look at from an electrical generation standpoint and from the RPS, which is relates to sales by the utility.  I believe the big island is ahead on that and producing more renewable energy. The in other areas, you know, where we're really trying to look for is is changing the economy in general, right? It's not not having such a reliance on fossil fuel. And that that big portion of that actually is in the transportation sector. And this is where Maui is actually a little head of the other islands, you know, with the JumpSmart Maui program that happened with the Japanese government government and Hitachi. That brought a lot of electric vehicles onto the island, which is now an opportunity, right for for the county to continue moving those those ideas forward. So, so, you know, I think we're all working towards the same goal.  And at the moment, we're all going to get together at the end of November to work on our climate adaptation plan and see where we should go, what practices we should do and make sure that we're all looking at it in the same way. So it's it's perfectly clear. Yeah, I think that's great. I think it's great that you're having that program. And it's an opportunity not only to discuss climate and sustainability vis-a-vis climate, but also to compare notes on what each of the islands is doing, which each of the utility facilities is doing on those islands so that you can learn from each other and raise all the boats pretty much hopefully at the same time. So how will that play? I mean, who will be there and will they have opportunity for that discussion? And what discussion do you contemplate? Well, I would have to pull up the agenda at the moment and not very prepared for that question, but all of the counties will be there and so many of the stakeholders throughout Hawaii will also be there and it'll be facilitated. And what we're trying to get to are some goals of defining our climate action plan to come up with what are the things that we're doing with respect to the state's commitment to the portions of the Paris climate agreement? And how are we all moving in that direction? How are we counting the carbon impact of our operations? What are we doing to move transportation forward to give opportunity and transportation for clean transportation? What are we doing in energy? What are we doing from a standpoint of resiliency around the islands? How do we do planning in the future for roads? It should cover the spectrum. That's great. And ThinkTech will try to be there anyway, bring out cameras and see what's going on with all the counties getting together that way because I think it's so important. So anyway, I want to talk about public opinion for a minute. We've seen resistance to certain kinds of progress. We've seen resistance to wind sometimes. That's not the case in Oahu, though. In Oahu and Ulapalacua Maui, the local people who live in the towns around the ranch there are pretty happy about the wind facility. They support it, which is good. But how would you characterize the public opinion in, say, Maui? I'll get to Molokai in a minute. Do they support renewables? Are they behind it? Are they excited about it? Do they believe in the goal that we'll meet the goal? What sort of feedback do you get when you go out into the crowd? I think invariably I get support for the renewable energy goals. I think the community is on board with that. I think everybody realizes that we are at risk of that supply chain, the fuel supply chain that comes to the islands, whether it's a disruption in that because of a natural disaster or a geopolitical event, or the escalation or fluctuation of prices that we need to figure out how to hedge properly against. And so maybe everybody sees renewable energy as a hedge for that fuel price in the future. I think that that's where people really get on board with it. And from the idea that we're doing something that we don't have to pollute, in many cases now we're seeing where renewable energy is cheaper, not just giving you a hedge, but cheaper than the alternative or the conventional fossil fuel burning. And so technology is allowing that. And people, I believe, are embracing it, absolutely. Yeah. This is great to hear because, of course, you have to have public support to do this. And if there are emergence activist groups, they want to oppose projects. It's troublesome. And it does tend to delay things. So then we fly off to Molokai. And I didn't know what to expect in Molokai because Molokai has resisted change, resisted outside influences in many ways over the past couple of decades, really. And it seemed to me, and I was expecting that we'd see that resistance. And maybe to some extent we saw that. We interviewed Amelia from Molokai, a sustainable Molokai. And I got the name right. And she was the one who is trying to negotiate some kind of deal with Half Moon, which is trying to do that solar battery project that I mentioned. So I mean, how would you characterize the mood, if you will, the public opinion, her constituents in Molokai, are they in favor of renewables? Is the jury out? Are they resisting? What is it like there now? Well, I think for Molokai, I probably can give you the, I don't have a lot of history there, of course. But about a year and a half ago, when I first started this position, in that first week, I went over to Molokai. And this just sort of set the framework for what I see as for Molokai. And a lot of people that have money or have opportunity, want to push a certain agenda. And Molokai, I saw that there is a lot of grid defection, but I saw it in a different way, where people can't pay their bills. That's just a different form of grid defection. That, you know, we need to make sure that we pay attention to in this move forward. And so there are many people on Molokai that, you know, need to make sure that when we evolve the grid, and we're trying to make a cleaner future and a more resilient future, that we're also doing it in a way that isn't extremely expensive. So some of the resistance that I've seen in Molokai definitely is never about doing something locally. That's for sure. And I think that's wonderful. But it's definitely about wanting to manage that risk, and wanting to make sure that if their community is taking a risk, that they're also seeing that benefit. And so whether it's with Amelia or with others on Molokai, there's many different groups on Molokai that speak for their constituencies individually. They all sort of have that same feel that they definitely want to be a part of their future, and make sure that, you know, local really does mean local. Yeah. And, you know, that's constructive in general. Our conversation with her demonstrated a pretty constructive approach by her and her organization, Sustainable Molokai. Can we skip to the Big Island now? The Big Island, you know, had all kinds of troubles about geothermal back when, back in the 90s, and oh, there was lawsuits and whatnot. Now it's kind of a glass ceiling on the amount of geothermal that a geothermal venture can produce. But the fact is that there are more renewables on the grid in the Big Island than in the other islands, as I understand it. What's the public opinion like there to the extent you know about it? I don't have a lot of experience with the public opinion there, but when I do coordinate some with the county counterparts there, they all are moving in the same direction, similarly to Kauai. With respect to say geothermal, as you're mentioning, I think that aspect is just another resource that could come to the grid. And if it meets the need, and if it's environmentally acceptable, that it could be a good resource. And so that the Big Island has more of that potential, I believe, from what I've seen in like NREL mapping and studies. There is some of that value on Maui. I'm not sure that that would be what would necessarily bring us faster to 100% renewable or cheaper. What I really want to see in however we deploy things is that it's reliable at the right price and at the right time. The Big Island is definitely blazing that trail. What about Kauai? What's your take on Kauai? I mean, Kauai, you see, has been pretty effective in managing the discussion, the conversation among its members. And maybe that's an interesting point about co-ops, that its members are closer perhaps than ordinary ratepayers because they get to vote on exactly who's on the board and so forth. But what's your take on their success and the quality of their implementation in Kauai? I am being a former developer. I definitely like to see the projects that are coming online there, these solar and battery projects. For Kauai, you see to look at what is their need to define that need and then to solicit for someone to fill that, I think is a very healthy process and that they have independent power producers doing those projects, taking on that risk and accepting that risk and then delivering reliable power makes a lot of sense. And they have these projects that are very low cost. They have a significant amount of energy storage and they're doing that price, these independent power producers, on a remote island in Hawaii, which is just for me to see is phenomenal. And I think it's great that they are ahead of the game there because with that sort of contracting because they're also able to take advantage of the investment tax credits at a higher rate before they start to phase down, which is such an important part for Kauai. We all pay federal tax and we want to get some of that benefit. But if we have a roadblock or some obstacle that isn't allowing us to get that investment in our community and get our share out of that investment tax credit, we're not getting the best service out of our utility. So I think now that they are moving forward, at least on Maui and their other islands, it's good to see. I hope that those can all be sorted out, contracted and closed in time so that we get that value of that investment tax credit. It's great to be able to talk to you, Fred. Fred Redell, the energy commissioner for the county of Maui. And it's great to see the counties talking to each other and collaborating and the state moving ahead as one, which I really love to see. I only have one last question for you. What's the plan, if you can talk about it, on Maui? What makes Maui special? What is the special sauce you're moving ahead with as the energy commissioner for Maui County? Sure. Well, I think everybody does know the larger utility plan. I think that that's an exciting part that is moving forward. They do have plans for new projects, solicitations for new generation. Into 2022, we'll have by then the Kahalui power plant retired and we'll be bringing on new generation to fill that need. But beyond that, the county, of course, is looking at its operations and is trying to figure out how do we continue also being more renewable? How do we reduce our carbon impact? And so we have contracted for digester projects to actually make renewable energy at some of our facilities to use some of that energy to deal with our problems of sludge for our waste disposal, trying to come up with ways to reduce impacts into the landfill. So in a more complete way beyond just the electric utility, what the plan is for Maui is a bit of all the above. We need to find solutions in all areas and then see where those synergies exist. It's great thinking about that. It's great to have this kind of awareness and consciousness about the plan and the future of the plan and how it relates to other elements of our environment. So Fred, thank you again for the trip last Thursday. And I look forward to seeing you, if not sooner, then at the sustainability conference by the counties later on this year. Thank you so much. Fred Riddell, Energy Commissioner of Maui, Aloha.


Most of this information comes from the tax guide for small business for individuals who use Schedule C, Publication 334, Taxure 2022, you can find on the IRS website, irs.gov, irs.gov. Looking at the income tax formula, we're focused online. One income, remember in the first half of the income tax formula, is in essence an income statement, although it's just the outline, the scaffolding, other forms and schedules flowing into it, including the Schedule C for the business income, which in essence is its own income statement, having income minus expenses or business deductions. The net income then flowing into line one here of our income tax formula. Looking at page one of the form 1040, we're looking at line eight. Schedule C would flow into schedule one, flowing into page one of the form 1040 here on line eight. This is a Schedule C profit or loss from business, which is in essence an income statement, income minus expenses on down below. We'll now dive into the excise tax. First question, what is an excise tax? An excise tax is a legislative tax on specific goods or services at the time they are purchased. So they're actually going to be picking specific goods and services and assigning a tax to them specifically based on or applied when those goods and services are purchased. Now, because they're going to be specific in nature, they will be specific to a particular industry, so we won't spend a lot of time on them. Spending a lot of time together lately. In general, because it will be dependent upon a particular industry. So goods subject to excise taxes could be fuel, tobacco and alcohol amongst other things. You might ask the question, of course, why would they put a tax on a particular item? And one reason could be, for example, with fuel, you might think that you want to apply the tax to the people that might be using a related public good, for example, like the freeway system. And you would imagine that the more people buy fuel, then the more they're likely using the public good that was built with tax dollars, and therefore it would make sense that you tie those two things together somehow. So you tax fuel, people that buy more fuel are paying more for the public good that has been provided by taxpayer dollars, people that don't buy as much fuel or shouldn't be paying as much in possibly for that public good would be the rationale. Other things like tobacco and alcohol are usually kind of like a moral argument. The idea being that we're going to disincentivize the purchase of tobacco and alcohol by raising the price on them artificially by creating a tax. So the argument would be we're not trying to get revenue from it at all, even though it generates a lot of revenue. We're just trying to get people not to purchase tobacco and alcohol because of supply and demand. And as the price goes up, you would think that demand would go down. Other skeptics would argue and I'm kind of skeptical of this would argue that, you know, if someone is addicted to something in particular, it's going to be an inelastic good. So you can raise the price on it and people will still be buying the inelastic good just because the nature of the situation. So and it also seems like it might be a regressive tax because the people that tend to buy more tobacco and alcohol seem to be on the lower income side of things. So you're actually increasing taxes on, you know, lower income individuals. So it's a kind of double-edged kind of moral argument that comes into play with those. But that is what it is.


All right, CyberTrader is welcome on back here to a brand new week live inside the Cybergroup Room. And hey, if you're joining us once again on social media, Facebook Live or YouTube, well, perhaps you could tell this is not the voice of one Fausto Puglisi. My name is Josh Levitan. Great to see Steve, John, Nina, Gene, Felix, Ron, and all of us live inside the Cybergroup Room. Great to see all of us there. And again, welcome back on social media for right now. So, you know, folks, Fausto is actually teaching a class right now. He's doing a very small, exclusive-based class. He started that at 8.30. He's going to be on for an hour and 15 minutes. So, he'll jump on for all of us live inside the trading room shortly after the market opens up. But for right now, you got me. So, VERU on the screen to begin, looks great, steady trend. I think one of us, Ron, Ronald W, got about 18 cents on his trade. He just got out before we started this call. But, you know, he got in from 5.75, and that means that he got out just about right under 6. Right? Just a little close under 6. From there, it ended up making a short little pop. But, you know, take the money and run. You know, just especially for a Monday, and really for right now, VERU, one of the trades that is moving up pretty nicely for right now. But, you know, it's also shortable. It's easy to borrow, at least, on my trade station platform this morning. So, I would imagine it to be shortable elsewhere. But, you know, this could easily begin to pull back prior to the market opening up. It's on a nice, steady trend. But, you know, nice trade, Ronald. Brian asking live inside the trading room for right now, why is Hoth, H-O-T-H, not on the watch list? Well, we'll get to that one in just a bit. You know, VERU, at least on the screen as we started this meeting. We'll definitely put this on our watch list to start.  I'll bring up Bookmap here and just show you here pretty quick. So, this trade ended up beginning to push shortly after 8 o'clock.   But the kicker here is that once it ended up breaking above resistance off 5.50, well, it held above it. But it was really this iceberg order that, you know, created that support. We had a big order on the bid at 5.50, and you could see, to a small degree, a bit of a latter effect as Fausto likes to call it. So, you know, this ended up making a really nice push. And, you know, a couple of our students actually ended up getting in and out of this one pretty quickly here. So, you know, for right now, at least, you know, a good call on getting out, I think it's going to, you know, continue to shake around prior to the market opening. Not much resistance on the ask. There was a bit of an order out there right around 6.35 that popped up momentarily. But they pulled. They pulled their order. So, you know, we'll see what happens. Maybe they dropped their order and looked at push this down a bit prior to the open. But, you know, otherwise we'll re-evaluate once the market does. So, definitely, for right now, the VERU, at least, we'll put on our watchlist to start. Now, we had a question on the Hoth trade. I do want to jump back to a couple of stocks that we ended up trading from Friday from the end of last week. You know, the BFRI stock, the ATER trade. You know, I know that we've been following ABBV on the swing. So, we'll kind of, you know, fill you in on that as well. But, you know, we had a question from one of our members inside the cybergroup room, Brian asking, why was Hoth not added on the pre-market watchlist? Popped after 8 o'clock. Right after 8 o'clock, this thing started to push. So, you know, hey, if you're logged into the trading room, you should be reading the chat. And you know that we've been calling it out, right? You know, a few of our students were in and out of this one as well, you know, earlier after 8 o'clock at least. You know, hey, it pays to be a member inside the cybergroup room, right? So, you know, listen, Fausto posts the pre-market watchlist as early as like 7.45 Eastern at times. You know, I think he posted this one at 49. So, this wasn't moving at all prior. Once it did, we started to make the call-outs live inside the trading room at least. And for right now, it's still continuing to try and push. So, it seemed a bit shaky after the initial run, but ended up just making a bit of a higher high, topped off right around 170, 171. So, as well as the VERU trade at least, you know, we'll definitely just put this on our watchlist to start. You know, this one seems to be a little bit more tame compared to the, you know, VERU and both are really tradable.  This is, this though is definitely more of like a level one, level two stock as far as how we would look to categorize it in terms of volatility. All right. All right. So, let's jump back really briefly folks. We'll talk about a couple of the movers that we had from Friday from the end of last week. I know the market ended up making a short little pop at first, but then, you know, it became very boring and flat and then from there, it dumped off a bit. So, you know, we'll even talk Bitcoin, but we'll do more of that heading into the afternoon. The BFRI stock ended up making a nice little slingshot shortly after the market did open, you know, dropped off at first, but ended up bottoming out just above 450 and then really broke out right above 475, 480, you could see there, you know, built a really steady trend up at the time. Well, just like we talk about here in the, in the cyber group room and especially featured in our main classes, the main phase one stock course that we teach, you know, just simple timing of the day. This one ended up topping off shortly prior to 1030, made the lower high shortly after, and then from there, what was the end result? Well, unfortunately, ended up completely tanking and then, you know, just kind of, you know, continued to drop. So, nice trade from the morning, this BFRI, right?  We followed it beginning from the pre-market. So, you know, hey, even if the Veru trade or Hoth ends up looking like this by the end of today, well, you know, hey, if it can give us another chance to try and capitalize on a, you know, quick little slingshot type of trade that we could, you know, take advantage of in the morning, then fine, we'll take it, right? But, you know, you don't want to hold on to a lot of these stocks that are up big. You know, hey, they're up big for a reason, but more often than not, they tend to drop off or, you know, what makes the top percent gainers list one day makes the percent losers list the next.  All right, what else do we have? I think we really did pretty nicely. It was on the NEO trade. It was on just a lot of the sideless stocks at first. You know, we were looking for a couple of good moves on those trades earlier in the morning, but it was more so even like on a stock like NEO here. I saw this really early this morning.  I couldn't go back to sleep. I look up at what's on the losers list, gainers list, and right away I was like, all right, well, I'm going to have a nice little fun day with NEO here. It was down over 8%, down over 9% now, and it was down even more. Trying to build a bit of a balance here right now temporarily, it seems like heading into the open. NEO, I don't know what the news is on this trade, Michael. I'm sure you did well on it as a pre-market short. Let's take a look. Benzinga Pro also is like so wonky lately. All right. Let's see any news on NEO. I know though, a lot of the Chinese stocks are down big. There's a bunch of stuff going on there, lockdowns and COVID numbers increasing there. It simply says NEO shares trading lower amid a report that total vehicle sales in China fell 11.7% in March after increasing 18.7% in February. I think there's more to it than that, but that also stands out.  This is technically a little bar that dropped off here, but it's essentially a gap. For right now at least, it continued to drop off. It's very tradable heading into the open. I was even just showing this more as a stock that we were focused on from Friday, but hey, we'll take it here for this morning. I was going to get to it eventually, the NEO trade. I know that we also had the PHIO stock, another one like BFRI that was on the top percent gainers list by the end of Friday, at least it pulled back heading into the after hours, but ended up dropping off much more this morning. But again, another one from Friday ended up popping. Going into the late morning shortly after 11 o'clock got halted. You can never really trust the halts when a stock makes a flash pop and halt.  Now, did that happen here? Yeah, but that's why you need to focus on it, at least figure out where your levels are. If there's a steady trend to identify, and that's what happens here at least, it ended up just building a steady trend. It was more of like a grinder of a trade. It was like pushing up, then kind of consolidating, pushing up, then kind of consolidating, but it built the steady trend up off the lows. And then it was more so heading into like 2.30 when I normally do the afternoon meeting for all of us on YouTube and Facebook Live, and of course for all of us live inside the trading room. This ended up popping right in front of us, right at that point. So we ended up putting it on our watch list from Friday afternoon, and from there, ended up really continuing to take off and push higher. So not every trade could end up like the PHIO, but this was more of a gift than anything by the end of the afternoon. Again, the top percent gainers list typically turns into top percent losers list the next day. For right now, I'm going to pass on this, putting it on the main watch list, but if it ends up popping shortly after the market opens for Norman and Bonnie and Michael, and all of us just here, I would have no problem calling it out. Very liquid order book, tight spread. It was pushing up relatively quick compared to what it normally does on a day-to-day basis, but it was still more of like a level 2 stock. It wasn't level 5, so I wouldn't mind coming back to this if it shows a better move, but right now, not much. All right, folks. Let's go right from top to bottom otherwise. Times already 9, 10 and counting. I want to make sure that all of our students have enough time to prep their charts, get ready, heading into the market open, more or less figure out where the big iceberg orders are prior to the opening bell. So we have Hoth on the watch list already. We'll get back to that at least just to show, but we'll go across the percent gainers and losers list here to begin. All right, GNCA just skipped over. We're not really going to focus on the cheapies below a dollar unless it's exploding right now, but IVDA, nice stock from pre-market, ended up popping prior to 8 o'clock, then from there, dumped off. So ended up holding underneath at the top 360. It ended up holding underneath an iceberg order that we had focused on earlier in pre-market off of 350 from there. Ended up beginning to show a nice bounce later on. You could see 275, perhaps 280 the bottom, then ended up beginning to make a nice push. It does look like a lot of volume just got filled after 9 o'clock. So let me jump back to level four on that. Let me jump back to book map here for the IVDA. All right, so it looks like a lot of volume got filled, not at the top, not even at where we had an iceberg order off 29, but roughly off of 325, we ended up seeing a lot of volume get filled. So I would assume for that to be a pretty big resistance in particular heading into the open, 325 to be exact. A lot of buying came in off that level, but look at the reaction after. I don't like the reaction. That's not good. So you want to make sure history could repeat itself in the sense of the break above 325, not in the sense of the reaction after. But for right now, the IVDA, it's hard to not put this at least on our main list. Hopefully at some point this looks to make a better uptrend, better bounce or move up, or perhaps sooner than later and it could retest that 325 shortly after the market does open. All right, we'll keep it going, folks. We want to make sure that we also have one piece of housekeeping as well. I should have mentioned this right from the top when I had mentioned that Fausto is not doing this morning meeting. I know that we have some new members joining us on YouTube as we continue to go. Market is closed this Friday, folks. Market is closed this Friday. I'll say that at the end. We'll say that all across this week so you at least know. But C2 will not be open Friday, as you can imagine with that in mind. Good Friday. Also, Passover. But with that in mind, at least heading into Easter weekend, Friday market will be closed. All right, let's keep it going. IVDA, Veru already on our list. Let me just look back on that one for right now. Making a lower high, beginning to try and pull back a bit further. It is shortable. It is shortable. Not to say right now, but if it fails to really make a big squeeze once the market does open, then perhaps that could be a better trade on the way down. All right, VMET, a little pop after 8.30, but doing jack right now for us doing literally nothing. So I don't know if that's a buyout. Not going to care to check. AFMD for right now, it was a lot more interesting going into 8 o'clock. Then from there, it kind of stalled out, looking now kind of like that other trade, the VNet. It is shortable if it craps out the other way, but I don't know. It's not really doing it for me right now. If it ends up making a pop or drop big move by the end of this meeting, I'll think otherwise. AM, same thing. Popped going into 7 o'clock, 7.30, was looking pretty nice at first, but then even prior to 8, it started to pull back and lose its momentum on the way up. So with that, it's kind of tough to anticipate a continued move. I say this all the time when I do the afternoon meeting for all of us that are with me there, but when the volume dies off for a stock, and typically so does the stock. So does the stock itself. So volume died off here. Look at the end result. What's this, Billy? BILI, one of the few Chinese stocks that are up right now, it seems like. Or no, HUYA, I see as well. Maybe I'm wrong on that assessment. I thought I saw a bunch more Chinese stocks around the losers list, at least XPEV, but that could be in sympathy with NEO, perhaps. Billy, though, on the way up, moving up really nicely, at least earlier in pre-market, ended up exploding shortly after 6.30 from 25.50 upwards to 28.50. Yeah, for right now, it's definitely one to watch for here, the Billy stock, BILI. Just take a quick look on Benzinga Pro. Don't mind just checking the news on this trade. So Billy shares trading higher following a report that the Chinese government issued new game approvals. I do not know what that means. Chinese game stocks higher on report that China has issued new game approvals after a nine-month suspension. All right, well, the last part of that, I understand. Billy, and then there's another one, but it's not up at all, really. FXI, and then one more that's an affiliation, N-T-E-S, but that one is $101. It's up big, but the Billy trade much more within our price range. All right, I'll take it. I'll take it, BILI. Ooh, nice pop here.  So 28.50, I'd anticipate to be a big buying level once the market opens up. If you want to look for continuation, it's got to really clear there pretty nicely. All right, I wasn't even looking, but N-T-E-S is literally right below Billy on the gainers list right there. I was skimming my Benzinga Pro when I added two and two together in that regard, but there you go. HUYA, interesting, but spotty chart. Going to skip over that for right now. GDS, same thing. All right, folks, and then there's really not much that's above that 5% I ask of you at the end, really not much. So I know the markets were kind of slumping off heading into the pre-market this morning. I know that Bitcoin ended up dropping off going into Sunday heading into early Monday morning. We'll talk about that part heading into the afternoon. I am now patient-awaiting, but BCYC to top off the losers list here. Bicycle Therapeutics, I don't know about the company, but it's shortable. That's the part that does interest me, if anything, but the chart's really flat. So it's down big, yeah, but I'm sure when the market opens up, it's going to be really illiquid. Not a whole lot of volume on the order book for this trade, I'd imagine. I even want to skip over it for right now. Nothing really that appealing about that trade. Now AT&T, more of a name-brand stock, which honestly we try to avoid more of the name-brand stocks at times, but for AT&T in particular, I know that there is some news that came out over the weekend heading into the morning here, at least. So I'll pull that up. Deutsche Bank, who previously gave a company last week, I think it was a price target from 16-1, well Deutsche Bank on AT&T, they simply lowered their price target to 24. Let's see what else we got here, though. It says AT&T shares trading following discovery late Friday announced the closing of transaction to combine water media with discovery. Man, I feel like this has been going on forever. The AT&T and discovery merger deal, or Warner Brothers, whatever you want to call it, I feel like that headline's been floating around for like a year and a half at this point. Geez. All right, well, ended up just completing, led to a big drop over the morning here on AT&T. I think there was also something to do with their dividend. I'm not mistaken, but nonetheless, big gap down, essentially. It looked really flat up until 8 o'clock, nice move up after. So for right now, I'm definitely more interested, at least in the AT&T trade compared to whatever this was, the BCYC. All right, Neo on the Losers list, got one of us saying Neo Long on YouTube. All right, it's tough to anticipate that right now, just given the drop-off.  But I got to check to see where my levels are on this trade. I ended up charting this and lining it up, heading into the open. We ended up seeing a bunch of volume, I think, like a 71,000 share print filled on the bid at 1810. So if it breaks back under 1810, not to guarantee a continued drop-off, but if it breaks under and holds under 1810, and history repeats itself like that, I'd look for a short. So watch 1810. Watch 18, obviously, as well.  All right, let's see, let's see, let's see. We got XPEV in sympathy with Neo dropping off a little spot of your chart. The LI trade, I think this one normally trades more volume day-to-day, if I'm not mistaken. This one also really spotty of a chart. Hey, if you do well on LI or XPEV day-to-day, more days out of the week than not, if you're following LI, and if you do well on that trade, most of those trades, then I'm sure that you'd be more keen to follow it, right? But right now, I'd like the Neo out of all these that kind of are in the same sector, all these Chinese EV stocks. All right, folks, that's all you got here for me pretty much. Again, I want to make sure all of our students have enough time to prep and line up their iceberg order levels heading into the market open so that they're good to go. And then also really quick, again, just if you're joining us once more a little bit late right now, I made mention of it from earlier this morning, but markets are going to be closed this Friday. This Friday markets will be closed, that being April 15th. All right, we'll continue to recite that at least throughout the week. All right, for Robert Skip, Michael, Bonnie, Brian Norman. We have Mark, John, all of us live inside the trading room. I'll be back on the sticks here in the coming moments for all of us on Facebook Live, YouTube.

A magic pretzel wand. Here's what you need to make magic pretzel wands. Pretzels. Cream cheese. A spoon. Sprinkle. Pretzel rod. Cream cheese. Scoop it up and spread it on. Don't put cream cheese on the bottom because that's where you hold it. Magic. Sprinkles to look like snow. Watch my magic wand disappear. Magic, you need to make a magic wand. The materials you need to make a magic wand are wooden sticks, ribbons, tool, stickers, jewels, tape, yarn ball. First you tie your tool around the stick. Troll the tool around the stick. Adding a piece of tape to hold the tool in place. Ribbon to my stick. I'm going to tie the ribbon in a knot. Now it's going to stay like magic. Then I keep adding lots and lots of ribbons. All different color ribbons, the more the better. How do you like mine? I like it. Now I'm going to add some stickers. Because the better. I'm putting a roll of stickers all the way down the wand. Make magic. Ready? What will your magic bring you? They make magic milk. Isn't it cool? I'm going to show you how to do it so you can play too. First you want to pour some milk into a small dish. You don't need a lot of milk. The best thing to use is whole milk because it has the most fat in it. Then you add a few drops of food coloring. Use all the colors that you want to see swirl. This is red. This is blue. This is yellow. This is green. You want to get the color all around so it looks cooler. Last, you add a tiny drop of liquid soap. You really don't want to add too much. You just dip it into the soap and let it drip into the milk. This is where the magic happens. Abracadabra. The colors are swirling around like crazy. It's like liquid tie-dye. Science is that the soap is casing the fat in the milk and as it chases the fat, it swirls the colors. Important tip, do not stir the milk. If you mix it up, it stops working. Abracadabra, you've got magic milk. Choose any food you like. Be careful because the skewers are sharp on the top so what I'm going to do is I'm going to take one of the fruits and I'm going to poke it and hold the fruit and then slide it down. Then an egg and then a strawberry. Mine's going to be a strawberry, a red grape and then a green grape. Which is what you want to eat? Which is where my family can make the world a better place. And for me to get a new puppy. I would wish for me to have some magical power like the invisible or something. And poke out your shape. It should look like there's a star in the watermelon. And place it at the end. And then just tie it to the bottom of your stick.

It was a pleasure to be here today, here in Quebec, in Montreal, to gather everyone. We are on the verge of concluding a very productive meeting with the Prime Minister here in Montreal. This meeting was the opportunity to discuss our common priorities, such as the need to increase the Canadian economy and to create good, well-remunered jobs for the civil class. Economic indicators are clear, including those who have come out today, who have announced a new record in the month of November in terms of employment creation. Our economy is doing very well and is continuing to grow at full speed. The unemployment rate is at its lowest in 40 years, and Canadians are now gaining more money to support their families thanks to the most important wages in nearly 10 years. And the growth rate in 2017 was the highest in the G7 countries. Today, the Prime Ministers and I have discussed the importance of commercial exchanges to continue to obtain concrete results for Canadians who work hard. During our meeting last year, I spoke of efforts deployed by our government to make sure that a new alena, a renegotiated and modernized alena, is a good agreement for Canada. Well, this morning, Ambassador McNaughton spoke to us of ways in which the new agreement will create jobs, strengthen the middle class and preserve economic stability. Earlier today, Minister Morneau joined the Premier's and me for a discussion on what the federal government can do and is doing to support jobs and our economy. With the 2018 fall economic statement, we helped give Canadians the competitive edge they need, making the marginal effective tax rate for new business investment in Canada the lowest rate in the G7. We spent much of that discussion on the serious challenges facing our energy sector. We talked about working together to support workers and families impacted by the oil price differential. One thing we can all agree on is ensuring growth and job creation and supporting Canadians going through a tough time. I look forward to working closely with Premier Naughty and all premiers to find ways to support Canada's vital energy industry. This afternoon, we also discussed the importance of encouraging economic growth, while protecting the environment and reducing pollution in order to fight climate change. Minister McNaughton spoke of ways in which all governments can work together to carry out their own national energy projects that will enable us to create jobs. We also talked about fighting climate change while creating jobs and keeping our economy strong. Canadians want their leaders to build a clean economy which is why we're moving forward with a plan to put a price on pollution because it shouldn't be free to pollute anywhere in the country. And we will work with every province and territory to build a clean future, create jobs and reduce pollution in our environment. Finally, the premiers and I talked about improving trade within Canada and unlocking our untapped economic potential because a strong economy starts at home and the key to success is working together. Minister Leblanc led a discussion about how we can cooperate on trade between provinces and territories to eliminate barriers, reduce red tape and help small and medium-sized businesses thrive. Of course, a strong economy means getting good results for all Canadians. Well this morning, the premiers and I met with leaders of the Assembly of First Nations, the Inuit Tapirit Kanatami and the Metis National Council. We talked about working together as partners to create economic growth and prosperity for Indigenous communities across the country. Today's conversations with premiers and with First Nations, Inuit and Metis nation leaders were a chance to collaborate on real positive change for people from coast to coast to coast. Together, we can make sure that every Canadian, no matter where they live, can count on a good job, a healthy environment and a bright future.


True love or true lies can lose red, but she's kind of turning it down at the minute I only was mad when you met me was mad exhibit number one Me and leave actually met each other at Leeds Festival 2014 It was kind of just a friend thing at the time a couple of years later We met each other at a night club in Sheffield thought that she looked pretty decent went over and put on her toes Did it work out, but a bit of persistence who we got there in the end Loving and excited I think Louis best feature is his eyes. Who's feeling blue? Thank you. I think leave as best feature is a belly bit obsessed with a belly She's got nice little belly button pieces. Well, I've got a bit of a thing for it. I Don't think we've got a game plan going into the house. I just hope it makes a strong There's a couple and we're just gonna be ourselves. Yeah, neither is a boring people So we're just gonna enjoy ourselves and take every day as it comes kind of thing We've never really been in this intense environment before things will come open It'll kind of try and throw bumps at us, but


Sharif don't like it. What? Sharif don't like it. Sharif don't like what? Rock the Casbah. You know I used to think that, that's it.  Really? I did.  Fuck. You would think that.  I'm Rick. Instagram, Twitter, Twitter, juicy content, follow us. Yo, Juice. What are you all scared of? I know you guys have Instagram and Twitter, but like some almost a million of you who subscribe to the channel, but like one percent follow us for that juicy content. Totally. Scaredy cats? Anyways, today we're reacting to a new trailer that dropped, I think it was a day ago. It's It's called rocker rocker. Yes. What's good rocketry?  I believe in multiple different language English being one of them Tamil being another and then another one that happens and it was filmed We're watching the English because the Tamil doesn't have subs. So I apologize But we know English. Yeah, we do and we have to get we had to get to this By the way, when I watch it doesn't I won't watch it in English. I don't usually know we don't usually do that. No, but That's the only one that's available right now And that's gonna be weird When I say I get messages for stuff. So here's what happens I get messages on Instagram and Twitter with people sending links so I can see the thumbnail and Then it sticks in my head. I know the name of the thing. I don't ever watch those things ever because I want to be as Clean and pristine and virginal as possible Virginal virginal Here we go Shall we con in this He was that was him. Was it just a cameo though? Well, he's clearly in it Man I don't think he said that I don't have the time if you don't like the way I Know as a nation we can't afford to pay you a dime, but we forever be indebted to you Can you promise to the engines of the telegram? I can with promise that we will it would be a life for us later The humanity have been better served if you work at NASA It should be a photograph of you in the Oxford dictionary right next to the definition of the word patriotism Betray this country To write this wrong I It's so strange seeing it all in English really strange very strange Why do they do that? Who's the production company? Looks like tricolors film in depth in Real in association with Yeah That's all tricolor productions, which is I don't recognize them where zero information I'm do these not great done anything yeah information for indian. So I'm guessing tricolor productions is a production house That's in India Just show con as a cameo. Yeah So it looks it looks strange to me in terms of a lot of the Acting and I don't know if that's just because it was all in English and maybe I'm just now I'm not saying I don't think Indian people speak English. That's not what I'm saying We know Indians people speak English, but seeing in Indian film All in English is just strange strange to me a lot of the times and it can come off as a little weird In some of the and then I saw some white guys in there that didn't well. Yeah, and then obviously we'll see it in it in Language the Hindi or whatever Tamal. I think it's Tamal. Okay, so if it's in Tamil We're gonna watch Tamil. We're not gonna watch it in English And I'm sure there'll be mixture of Tamil in English within there, but my biggest concern As much as I want to see the story because this is based on a true story. Is this the most recent rocket? Story like those got to be or is it one an older story like the one that was like last year. No, no, no No, this is from from Did it say a while? Yeah, I read that.  He's still fighting for justice with those police officials alleged who falsely implicated him still free That's interesting. Yeah, I as usual I See actors in it that are probably not union affiliated and they're probably not trained and that concerns me. Yeah The non Indian actors There's a lot of them. So that gives me pause to think we're jumping into a film that has a lot of either British or UK or English American Actors that typically can't hold their own against the Indian actors. Yeah Hey, have we seen what happened?   Yeah, it almost felt misplaced in a way. It felt um I wonder how that is we should ask an actor sometimes when we figure out they've done this How it is to film in three different languages can't imagine like I understand like if you you had to learn a language like if if I was an Indian film I had to learn Hindi Obviously, I would train for that right and then do it that entire thing but then to do every scene also In a different language, maybe it's easy if you're if you're fluent. I don't know I don't know because here's the challenge with that man as an actor What happens when you have completely new moments created Then that because no two scenes are gonna be exactly the same if they are you're doing it wrong So if there's wide variances and Production cost production time Yeah, I would love to know more about the whole Filming films in three languages sometimes. Yeah, I'm gonna cut the asset about and they make it doesn't it's to me it would be like When you one of the great things about going to see a play is you don't see the same show every night Yeah, that audience that night gets that show and there will never be another one like it Even though it's the exact same words. There'll be improv moments. There'll be mess ups. There'll be something that makes each Artistic moment each night a little different. So I it's gotta be a little bit different with each of them That's just an amazing feat to me Yeah, that they can accomplish and but I have some I'm approaching this with great caution. Yeah, it didn't totally grip me So probably for the reviews, but if we do watch it, we definitely won't watch it in English No, the only reason watching this one is that's the only one that was available that we can understand that We can get out quickly. I don't understand why some production companies Don't put subs in their videos Like even in your own country, there's people that speak what ten different languages more and English is a pretty big one. Yeah So like I just make them available so they can be enabled. Yeah, like CC's on right Like it doesn't take you very long. Yeah Anyway, just doesn't make sense to me because sometimes like trailers will drop. No, sir Yeah, and I really would love to know how much more I might have appreciated it I mean, I don't know. I think it's gonna Look and feel the same if they're doing the same if it's the exact same thing We saw just with the lines being said in Tamil versus English. I'll probably feel the same way about it Yeah, yeah, maybe but you guys let us know let us know what else when you know about this story Down in the description in the comments below Dina Dina Dina Dina Dina Mother


Dear students, now we are going to discuss the advantages and disadvantages of threading. Threading or fold recognition as it is also known as is a process by which you can predict the tertiary structures of proteins by looking at the sequence of a protein and comparing it with a template. Now if you were given a protein sequence and you wanted to predict its structure by using threading then all you had to do was to compare the secondary structures that could be made from that sequence with the fold database or the secondary structure database and thereby you would arrive at the possibilities or the best matches for the secondary structures which could be threaded on to the sequence that you want to fold. So this is the background on threading and it is very useful in cases where homology modeling fails specifically in cases where you have a low alignment and identity. This is also known as the twilight zone. So looking at the inputs and outputs of threading you will see that we have two structurally similar proteins and in both of them we have a fold that is common and this contains i, j, k and l secondary structures and we also measure their spatial adjacencies that is how close is i to j and l to k and so on. So the spatial adjacencies they describe the interactions between the secondary structures and then if given a sequence like that for which you don't know the structure then you can compare portions of this structure to the secondary structures and declare this portion to be taking up this specific structure. Similarly this portion will take up j and this portion will take up k and lastly this portion of the sequence will take up the secondary structure l. Now in this way you have predicted the structure for this sequence. So coming back to the issue of advantages and disadvantages. So the first thing is that threading or fold recognition is an extremely useful strategy for predicting the structure, the tertiary structure of proteins. On one side we have the homology modeling and on the other side is ab initio modeling. So threading is a compromise between the two. In case of homology modeling we are relying heavily on the template. While in ab initio we are relying on energy minimization which does not have anything to do with the template. But for fold recognition we are trying to find out the optimal secondary structures only or folds which are best suited to your sequence. So in this way you can create mix and match from the different folds that can be taken as structural elements of the sequence that you are considering. So as I just mentioned for the twilight zone in the alignment versus identity graph if there is low alignment and low identity you can consider that to be the twilight zone. So in this twilight zone you only have two options. You cannot use homology modeling of course. So the two options that you have is fold recognition or threading versus ab initio. So from these two of course threading is the simpler one and is more accurate as well. Towards the disadvantages one can obviously think that if you are trying to take some folds from one protein, some other folds from some other protein and in this way creating a combination of these folds towards creating a new protein structure then there is a high chance that the structure that you will create may not be biologically plausible. So the validation of the structures that are output from threading or fold recognition is essential. The result of such a shortcoming is that fewer than 30% of the predicted structures have homologs. So therefore you end up creating such structures by using fold recognition which do not have homologs in the PDB. So this has to be taken care of by a process called validation. So this is the major disadvantage of fold recognition.


People are training computers and creating machine learning models to explore all kinds of new ideas. New ways to interact, to understand the world, to play, and experiment. But machine learning is pretty intimidating to get into, so we've been wondering, what if it wasn't? With Teachable Machine, we set out to make it easier for anyone to create machine learning models without needing to write any machine learning code. When it first launched in 2017, it allowed everyone to get a feeling for what machine learning is all about. But now, Teachable Machine puts the power of machine learning in your hands, allowing you to save your models and use them in your own projects. So let's say you want to build a model to recognize you versus your dog.  Click train, and you instantly have your own machine learning model, which you can use in your sites, apps, and more. You can upload your model to host it online, or download it to work entirely on device. With Teachable Machine, you can create custom models for all sorts of things, using images, audio, or even poses. Personalized machine learning models for the things that matter to you. And folks have already been trying it out, using Teachable Machine in their own experiments, solving problems in their communities, or even just at home.

channel. Today I have some exercises for you that will help improve your valuable gain. Start weightlifting. When I was in high school, on the upper end of high school, 16, 17, 18, that's when the most appropriate age for you to start weight training or resistance training is. So here I have some exercises for you that you can use in order to improve your strength, your agility, and your leg strength. Okay? So with this you need a couple heavy items but here's some items that I use for this video. A kettlebell and this kettlebell that I use in this video is 15 pounds. Now you can get a kettlebell from T.J. Maxx or Amazon but I use a kettlebell, some dumbbells. And these dumbbells that I got, they are eight pound dumbbells and you can get some dumbbells from Walmart and Amazon. Like I told you Amazon might be a ff y'all. So some dumbbells. Those are the kind of weights that are appropriate for a middle schooler or young high schooler to start using. In my training sessions I personally use a kettlebell for my clients. The different exercises we're gonna use today that you're gonna see are squat jumps, lunges with dumbbells. You're gonna see me do ropes in the intro but that's just because I love ropes and if you have ropes try those ropes in the intro. You're gonna see me do front raises with the kettlebell and kettlebell swings. And those are some things that can slowly over time increase your strength. All right here we go. The first exercise we have here are kettlebell swings and I do these all the time. Kettlebell swings improve your upper body strength while hitting that lower body strength at the same time. As you can see I'm doing a half squat and I'm swinging the kettlebell in between my legs and raising it up. Then I'm gonna go into front raises. Front raises are a great way to improve your upper body strength or your bicep strength especially if you don't have any just yet. It's a great way to start learning how to get some upper body strength guys. Now we have some lunges with some dumbbells. Now these lunges with dumbbells you we do this in our warm-up all the time. Now lunges are really important in improving that leg strength. You want to get them quads right. And I use the dumbbells as well so I can get an arm and leg workout. I'm trying to get multi-workout at the same time. That way we can get target everything at once. Now I have squat kicks.  These are going to burn your legs.  Just look at my face.  Get them legs right. Then we're gonna get into the double jump squat.  Jump and then jump out. These are also going to get them legs. I hope you enjoyed it. Did you like it? Make sure you like, comment, subscribe and follow me on Twitter, Snapchat and Instagram because that's where I update every time I can't post a video. Have I found somebody to film yet? Every time I can't post a video that's where I post the video. And I have a family member coming in town this weekend so that's gonna really help me with filming some jump start video, jump float serve video, how to block different positions. Believe me, I try to answer all of the comments in the comment section and I do see your request. The only issue is I haven't had somebody to film. So those volleyball related videos are on the way. So make sure you comment and you subscribe. All right. See you guys next time.
