The second air conditioning process that we're going to take a look at is that of heating and cooling with a slight modification that is where we can either humidify or dehumidify the air. So it's a minor complication over what we just took a look at. Okay so again what we'll do we'll begin with a schematic of what it is that we're talking about. So we have our standard air conditioning duct inlet state one, air is coming in at temperature one, specific humidity one, relative humidity one, and then we have our heating or cooling coil and so this could be Q dot in or Q dot out and that takes us to an intermediate state, state two, and then what we have is we have our humidification system basically just spray nozzles that are injecting either water or steam into the airstream and here we have mass flow rate water in. So we have water flowing into our system and finally the air will exit and we'll call that state three. It will be temperature three, specific humidity three, and relative humidity three. So that is what our schematic looks like. What we're now going to do is we're going to take a look at the mass balance equations for both air and water and then we'll take a look at the first law applied to this type of the system. So beginning with air and this is quite straightforward what we have is mass air at state one equals mass of air at state two equals mass flow rate of air at state three so not much going on the flow is moving through we're not adding or removing air. For water what we have is mass flow rate of water at one plus mass flow rate of water being injected between two and three is going to equal the mass flow rate of water at state three coming out of our system and we can replace the mass flow rate of water remember this is the moisture being carried by the air so we can replace it in that term there using the mass flow rate of air or multiplied by our specific humidity and then again we can do the same thing for the mass flow rate leaving the system so recasting it in terms of mass flow rate of air so that would become our water balance equation and finally for energy so applying the first law so that would be the first law now in terms of inlet what is coming in is going to be the air and the steam let's assume we're using steam and then exit is just the air and water vapor so in order to account for the steam we need a way to have the enthalpy for steam so let's assume that we are injecting steam in this particular case and for that what you would do is you would get your water in the enthalpy of that you would get that from the steam tables and for that the enthalpy value will be the saturated liquid value at whatever temperature you may say that it is coming in at so that would be the way that you could get the enthalpy for the water flowing in provide that it's you're considering it to be steam so that is how you can handle a case of either heating or cooling with humidification or dehumidification and the last thing that we'll look at in the next segment is that of evaporative coolers


This study found that elective splenectomy is a safe and effective treatment option for patients with Thalassemia major. The majority of patients experienced improved quality of life and maintained adequate hemoglobin levels following surgery. One patient developed a postoperative incisional hernia, but overall satisfaction with the procedure was high.

Thank you for your time for attending this session. I'm going to introduce Helen Rittersporn and first before I Make an introduction this young lady is a very dynamic speaker.  This is my personal plug. Thank you. Thank you Helen is a project manager extraordinaire She has certifications and project management from the project management Institute She has been blogging daily for over three years at her website anchored scraps com Encouraging old-style correspondence letter writing Helen uses digital technology to reach other analog Kindred letter writing souls Furthermore, you can hear Helen being interviewed on guest podcast appearance of episode 11 of the blog you want in the time you have podcast if You find the idea of blogging on a regular basis Is elusive and or wonder how you sustain blogging ideas then this word camp Birmingham presentation is for you You will want to join Helen for 12 lessons for daily blogging for over 1200 days and still counting Wow It will include a look back at previous 2017 and 2018 word camp Wilmington presentations sharing lessons from blogging over 900 days and 600 days respectively Helen's presentation will help inspire you to increase your blogging frequency and With confidence so I give you Y'all this is coach Jackson and As he said we met last year at word camp Wilmington and Here when is your presentation? Tomorrow morning and this guy helps tell you how to promote yourself as social media You want to see coach coach Jackson you do a lot of work with a lot of kids. Don't you yeah, you want to you want to See him.  I Have a handout for you at the end of the presentation You don't have to write all this down Okay, I Want you to think about how this applies to you? Okay, and I'm only doing one word per slide With the exception of a quote And can y'all hear me okay? Okay, good. All right, so we've got a couple of things to do and I'm going to be referring to my I'm an analog lover okay so We're going to be doing We're going to do a drawing at the end, but I want to start with some drawings at the beginning and It may take we can get it in the queue, but what I would like is your business card in here If you don't have a business card You can have one of my Anchored actions So to-do list there's 11 items on it not 10 because you're probably the one who wants extra credit for writing an extra thing down And then crossing it out So I'm going to pass this around if you don't have a card write your contact info on here If you think you might like to pen pal with me I mean, I really will write you back and coach Jackson will tell you I wrote you didn't I I did Okay, so I'm going to go around and Business card or contact info But I'd like it for the drawing. So let me show you what you get for the drawing that you're participating with Word Camp Birmingham Has offered they had this with the speakers last night, but it's a lovely set of Wordpress coasters Okay So that's in the queue and we also have My of course I would have one anchored scraps is the name of my blog address book Old style Some of you may admit you still have one It's okay But we're doing this in the drawing Okay, so those are the two things in the drawing. I love letter writing and one of my blog posts was on the Star Wars these are a Panoramic postcards Don't get too excited. I'm not having one person get this what I'm doing is we're going to unseal it And we're going to send it around and you get to pick one postcard And I'm hoping you'll put it in the mail to someone and you can even send it to yourself Okay, I was at Word Camp. Okay notice my idea of postcards here But I'm going to have you break the seal and you can pick out the first one and then we'll pass it around and I Am going to ask that we hold our comments. I'll do you know questions at the end and I am doing a table talk at lunch on blogging ideas Okay, so if you're making the rounds at lunch, I will have a table talk Okay Thank you so much for being here this morning I have no idea what it took for you to get here this morning The car may have needed gasoline. It could have varying on you when you were getting the gasoline You may have had family obligations that you had to work extra to be able to be free today you may have had to do some bartering with time with a spouse or Significant other to be able to be free for the day So I'm really honored Thank you so much for being here. Okay, so I just want to let you know I really appreciate it so We are going to Start Guess what 12 lessons means There's 12 letters The first one is W This is according to Helen Okay, so W is for wordpress and What I want to mention here is I love wordpress.org You may have your site with a through the wordpress.com and How many of you here are first-time word campers? Fantastic, okay, I cannot stress enough to you the importance of Coming out to those meet-ups for your local word Press meet-ups and if you have the opportunity Volunteer with the word camp room in your local area and how many are here from the local area? Okay, and How many are from out away? Wow Okay, you'll make sure when you put your address down if you don't have it on a card Make sure you tell me a zip, okay? The other thing is is when I presented at word camp Wilmington last year well, I now have two pen pals from word camp Wilmington and One young woman was just getting her master's degree and Wants to launch her blog and so we just been corresponding and it's you know encouragement Okay So Continuing I've got a lot to cover Aris for Ritter Sporn. It's my last name. It's my married last name proud of it What this means is for you I? Want you to? Insert your name here and what that means is when I started blogging It said blog post by Holland Well now it says Helen Ritter Sporn and So what I'm stressing is Declare yourself Now My my blogging has been sharing a passion and a hobby that you know, I love Your application may be for work or for business your company may have some policies about how they want to show It's who but I'm just saying you know if it is your company try to make it a little more You know sometimes I've seen where they'll do the initials on a tweet of which person at that company was that voice and The reason I want you to insert your name here is this is for branding yourself. I Started my blog when I was Back on I was on contract with IDM and I was blogging every day You know I'm a project manager, but blogging every day, but this is branding me So you may even have a company and you're blogging for your company, but you may want to consider Having your own blog and just be yourself. I is for identify and the first one is as in attribution on my blog posts I You can see the progression. I used to within the blog post say oh And this photo is from what? Kignity of Commons and it is by the da da da da da and it's very distracting So what I do is at the bottom of my blog post I have a thank you to the following who are referenced and the attribution area and I list everybody and That's where depending I try not to do a lot of links inside the body of the post But I put everything I do reference it, you know Sources the other thing on this is I'm having to identify I'm one of these people that found it very helpful to have a monthly recap So the last day of each month because I blog daily. I have a monthly blog post. It's a summary and I had to I started numbering on my blog posts before I hit a hundred figured out I started having to tie some reference number to them So it's been very helpful if you're at my website on the left if you're not on the mobile view of it you can go and view monthly milestones and milestones the milestones shows every hundred blog post and and You know, it was a really big deal when I hit a thousand so that you can go over there and It's a signing of the category T is for tell and The most important thing on this I want is for you to tell your stories If you've got a hobby that you're most interested in We'll talk about mission statements and coming into focus with what you want to blog about But the T is for tell your stories. It's also for instance. I have on Twitter I'll do a post cross-referencing my post and Some of the things I blog about are with letter writing our fountain pens Typewriters, I had one manual typewriter when I started I now have six Postage stamps and a new stamp comes out Well Because I cross-reference on Twitter. I chose that channel Well, I put At USPS postal service. Well the first time they retweeted me. I about passed out and It's taken a couple of years, but they now follow me on Twitter, which I'm just the static bout but I'm just saying you start building your audience and On Twitter there is a hashtag of blog chat Are any of you involved on Twitter on Sunday nights? If how many of you tweet? Okay, if you do a Hashtag blog chat Matt Collier who's here in Alabama? He hosts on every Sunday night. I think it's nine o'clock Your time it's nine o'clock Eastern But they'll have different people and I was one of my milestone posts I was interviewed there for my one thousandth post, but he's been doing this for Over eight ten years It's very impressive, but you'll meet other bloggers who are also very social So it's just something to think about encouragement I really think people like being around someone who's positive and You're going to choose to have an RSS feed You're going to choose to have an email blog subscriber from me or wherever you go, and I just find that I Have I've even if you do a search on encouragement There's blog posts on it. I just think everyone's trying to do the best they can and You're and again with this being a daily journey So just think about what you have you may have some really specialized subject matter expertise and You know, I remember thinking oh Everyone knows how to take Excel there and everyone knows how to take their address book and export it into a CSV Everyone knows how to do that Well, I thought well, maybe they don't so I did a two-part blog post on it and I have people like thank you Thank you. Thank you now. It's really basic But it helped By the way, the email blog subscriber service I use is called feed blitz. They're just wonderful Alice for legacy and This This gets personal fast as it did with my first blog post my first blog post does three things and And In there I give my mission statement I also reference the four W's of why you're blogging which credits Matt Collier with blog chat and I had decided I started blogging in February of 2015 and I had decided two months before that that I was going to blog and I Was still struggling with what my voice was Well, what am I gonna talk about? You know and Very unexpectedly in January of 2015 My dad passed away unexpectedly and I remember I Did his eulogy and I remember having the Family photo made afterwards and I was sending a photo to everybody and a letter to every person And I said I know you can look at a digital picture But I really think seeing it is gonna help anchor our memories So I always that attribute my naming of my blog as my dad's lovely parting gift Okay, anchored scraps. He was in the Navy Just it just all worked for me the other thing with this is I I do love analog and I'm looking at long term and pictures I take of and showing some of these old typewriters, you know, I think of Things we take for granted that just will not have May not be commonly seen in time. So I just like for me having a legacy This is probably why you're here Blog topics are everywhere I'm driving down the road to go to the beach How many of you driven down the road and there's a guy with all this tie-dyed t-shirts It's out on a clothesline for sale Guy looks like he tied that up So you're like hmm something in about tie-dyed t-shirts. Well, I have a blog post on tie-dye stationary No kidding. Someone makes it So that was my inspiration Okay, and we'll talk about this at the table talk at lunch, but you really think about I Do with Because I have a theme of everything related to letter writing. I do Have it under an umbrella of topics and main categories. So think about what it is you're passionate about It could be a hobby it could be a sports car It could be a collection you have it could be a nonprofit organization You're involved with it could be just something you're really passionate about and think about all the different things related to it For instance Typewriters there's a wonderful California typewriter. It's a documentary that came out this last year Tom Hanks is in it with his collection He has an app and when you type on your Your mobile it has a typewriter's hand Okay, it's related. It's under the umbrella trust When you're reading my blog You trust that if I have a link that I have vetted it You trust that you know, it's okay If I have a I'll take a Snapshot of an image and then bed around and embed it like of a embedded YouTube Well, they're trusting that when they watch it. It's what they're expecting and they've come to trust me for Everyone has a different style, but you can Find out pretty quickly what your audience is and I would suggest if you think you might want to change it kind of warn people But there's just no surprises. I'm not trying to go for shock value or anything So just you know, just think about you want people to trust you time You may decide that I would really like to blog and I want to blog on a weekly basis. I have come from word camp. I'm gonna do it once a week. That's 52 weeks Let's go Okay It's coming up on a week I'm gonna next week blog every day once a week. Okay, but make a commitment of whatever your frequency is You may decide you're going to do it monthly Okay, you're gonna write 12 this year. Okay, that's that's really good I actually think for a long-term viewpoint. You'll then be able to see you post to something every month You know when you look at my category, they'll see gosh this person posted every month Now when they open it, you may have only posted once but you posted every month instead of wow They started out strong and never heard from them again Okay, you know what I mean? So better to like I'm gonna blog twice a month I might could do that and You could blog on the first and the second you could blog on the 28th and the 29th But then you're gonna show two because they put a little number next to it if you view it that way Okay, but you want your time You may decide I'm only going to do it quarterly. I'm only going to do it once a year or Nope, I don't want to do this fine, but declare it Okay, and with your time There's some things that come with this and that's realizing Um Making that is when I decided after I'd been blogging and was still going every day and then I thought well I'm gonna make it to a hundred I realized that It meant other things didn't happen and From Dave, you know from day one. I had made the decision. I You know working full-time Um Everything going on. I said I'm sorry, but I do not have time to curate comments So I have never had comments enabled on my site but the Example I was using was Seth Godin. He just doesn't So, you know my decision was And he had said he had the choice he could either curate comments or write So I don't have comments enabled you may want the comments enabled that's your choice, but realize the time factor it's going to take and The other thing on that is It is going to take you some time and so there have been weak weekends when we do a day trip and I Remember the day before I changed smartphones But my husband just so nicely we'd pull in the McDonald's so I could use the Wi-Fi to upload my blog post that day Okay, it took some time out of our day But you know I had the commitment there. I wanted to do it. So just just realize that The time it's going to really take you you may maybe This is my quote. I had this I think on my I started posting it every time on my 200 300 400 Daily blog post and this is my viewpoint on procrastination Any tendency for procrastination must be contained to within the 24 hours each day Because the timestamp is going to happen regardless and there are days, you know, it's You know 10 30 at night But I've gotten everything else that I had to get done You know, you may have started with a 6 a.m. Conference call to some other country But you know I did post but there's that timestamp. So, okay, you may say I'm gonna blog every week Okay, well, what's your commitment? Just what however you bind it that timestamp is going to happen Okay You may be a bit surprised by this statement from me about enthusiasm. I have found that How you feel about things it does convey on how you write Okay, and so it is I Am passionate about letter writing When I realized That This was at the same time I wrote my first blog post when I realized I Had a pen pal when I was 10 years old with a young girl in England and my mother and her dot her My mother and her mother had been pin pals and I just have always loved this well What I realized That my whole focus in writing my blog would be to connect with I'm gonna use technology to connect with 50 5-0 other kindred letter writing souls in the world and Everyone else is welcome to come along And they're all welcome to read with me but that's my focus and I now have 30 pen pals and I got a When I had my thousands blog post one in Cal California and one in Canada something the most beautiful handmade cards with this milestone And well their penthouse they love writing letters You know so my point to you is Whatever that passion is you have figure out if there's something that you really get excited about and Has the thing made it away around the room yet with all the cards? Okay Has it gone all the way around with everyone? Oh Okay, I'm trying to honor that I'd say I'd do the drawing sooner Okay, well, we'll do the drawing when this thing gets back.  How many of you have a backup so that if you left your host provider you could still start your site? How many of you are going what? Okay We're not going into that here, but I use backup buddy which I learned about it my local WordPress meetup Okay, I I use them as a premium service but I run backups So I've got down there redundancy Also, how many you have have you How many of you blog how many of you have a printout of every blog post you've ever done, uh-huh? hmm, I Am I am exploring a service that I'm very excited about because you can imagine my mom My aspiration is to give her every blog post Well, so far 2015 or two books this thick okay because of every day, but we're but anyway, I'm exploring a plug-in Because the way my site is designed it has a header image and that makes it more unique and doing the export But we've tackled it. I think and so how many of you have a printout of at least what your current site looks like How many of you have ever taken a picture of it just so you could say yippie? Okay, I would like to challenge you with the idea of When you wherever you are like back to school come September 1, okay? Take a snapshot take a printout and then Next six months from now Do another snapshot and you can just see how you've changed your look and feel My tagline has changed a little bit You might go. What did I say? Okay, again, this is where I'm not suggesting you kill a lot of trees. However I'm also one of these people that I Just you know having an IT background. I like backups Okay Y'all gonna remember this Okay All right Seth Godin how many people here read him? He has blogged over seven thousand posts Seven thousand He just his website just got updated a little bit on the look and feel and now I'm having to re figure out where things are I Reference him in my first blog post. I read this man Every day for ten years and you know what he said he talks about the lizard brain. He talks about fear and his point was Do something Don't think about it and this whole time. I'm reading it and it's the round to it. So I'm gonna get around to that One of his books had just come out at the time. It's in my first post and and It's in there, but his books are just phenomenal. I've probably got like five and His giant coffee table book Adam. Do you have the 800 page one? I was one of the early Help supporting that thing and my name is in the book. I was just ecstatic It was very it was just you know if he comes out and says I'm gonna publish book. You just here I'm ordering You you you want to do that? 17 I don't know how many books with marketing genius. Yes From tight pad to WordPress and I Every time I reference him I Strive to Send him a handwritten letter sharing it with him and he'll actually email me back.   Okay Now I do a hybrid where I do a combination of digital pages that I print 12 by 12 it insert them in a traditional album Okay, so I Will share with you something Cut me to the core. I was at an event one time and this person was there and her viewpoint was this was something She had to slog through she really didn't want to be doing this, but she's doing it for her family And she looks at me and said well, you don't have any children. What do you possibly have to say? And I was just sorry about my I was like And I just thought well that tells me what she thinks about scrapbooking It's a chore to her. I love it and I have a lot to say and I'm the cool and And I pin pal with my nephews and it's just such a joy Okay, so What that means to you is? Each of you have something to say You really do you have something in you in your heart at Easter each year from Mondi Thursday through Easter Everything is related to Easter Christmas. I do I do share and But like I said be you That's what my acronym spell my acrostic spells write letters Did you see it coming did anyone write it out? Yeah so With that That's the words for each one if I run out. I had 50 of these made and on the back you if you want to show up on September 1st, I have a soft launch of my Wp Olympia training where I was strongly encouraged by a fellow Word camp person to it was time for me to start my own business And it's to train others on how to navigate the WordPress and you know, you've got it installed But now what do I do? So that's what I'll be doing These are and may I ask a favor? Can you hand these here for you and coach Jackson? And if you can do that side Okay All right, do we have the thing back for the door prizes? Okay, we got it Okay Have the postcards been making their way around? the Star Wars Okay, and so that's my last slide also encourage you to be a presenter at word camp because you know my guidelines for presenting today was I read a blog post by Seth Godin on how to be a presenter and He said minimize how many words per page have a handout at the end So, you know my thank you Sincere thanks again to him Okay, did everyone Okay, so we're gonna do the drawing and Is that Chloe? Chloe, can you come up and draw please and The first thing are the coasters circling. Ah, ha ha Okay, the first thing we're going to draw for are the WordPress coasters. Oh, you want okay? Okay, so the envelope the envelope Mark Griggs Hey, congratulations. Yeah, I'm gonna do one more. Thank you. Stay up and we're gonna do one more and This is for the anchored scraps address book Okay, and I'm gonna have Chloe draw one more Melissa Miller Congratulations Okay, so That's it That's it. Are there any questions? Which app? I'm actually looking at a plug-in a Service that's helping me do my when I do my export it takes my export from WordPress and lets me Format it. So then it's not doing a print style sheet. It's helping me not have to do that I Have to look it up. I've got his email with me. I'll be glad to get with you Yes, and you'll see over time. I'll have these different from others day this year I'm gonna try to get the book for mom. You know, you just kind of see me Going on this journey Other questions. Yes Yes Yes, I I do use the fountain pen on special occasions and one of my favorite pen pals He'll share this is with the nib Da-da-da and this color ink. I just adore him. He's wonderful. I learn a lot from him. So yes real fountain pens Are we good? Thank you so much for being here


Thanks Tracey, and Tracey is forever asking me questions that I can never answer. But be that as it may, I asked Tracey a question last week and I said, I'm coming along to this thing, what do you want me to talk about? And she said, well, why don't you talk about mergers and acquisitions? So to some extent I'm going to avoid mergers and acquisitions. So I think there's a much bigger play in the industry, and the industry has to really pull itself into line to become a lot more competitive than it currently is. And I'd like to applaud what Namaskar is doing, and also NeoMetals, because I think they're trending towards the right business model. And what I'm going to tell you about today is the way I think the industry can improve itself, and I'm going to talk specifically about hard rock. I will draw some comparisons with the brine producers, because you've got to have a benchmark, and at the moment the brine producers are, of course, the lowest cost producers. So who can deliver on their promises? That's a 2014 rundown on global production. The purple is green bushes in Western Australia, so that's China. About half of the red, which is South America, is China. The yellow is China. So if you split that into types of ore, effectively half of it is hard rock, and half of it is brine production. But the hard rock is accelerating, there's no doubt about that. So what are the issues that the brine producers have? It's not all beer and skittles out there, it's hard work. Long commissioning times, high capital costs, climate dependent course, you've got large volumes of solution to manage, and they're evaporated by using the sun. So the Atacama Desert is a really good place because it doesn't rain very often, one in a hundred year flood last year. Variable solution chemistry, you don't want too much magnesium in the solution, it's too difficult and expensive to remove. The aquifers are somewhat unpredictable that they pump from, and a couple of years ago I was talking to the Rockwood guys who are the only people in the business that have done the full 360 degrees, have done hard rock, were put out of business in 1983 by the Chileans, went to Chile, bought a license, started producing, and then paid $1.2 billion to buy half of Taliesin, the green bushes operation, a set of these guys, you know, why are you putting your money in hard rock, and they said, well, the brines are unsustainable, at that stage I fell off my chair, and I said, how the hell can you say that?  The sponge, of course, is the aquifer, the drinking straws, the drill hole, and your mouth's the processing plant, and not much gets to the processing plant. There have been failures with capital expansions, resource to reserve conversion is terrible, it's like the oil industry and those conversions are only about 10%, so ignore the very large resource figures you see on some of these things, and they rely very heavily on by-product credits. Now, that may be an advantage or a disadvantage, but in a falling potash market at the moment, it's quite clearly a disadvantage. Hard rock producers, no beer and skittles there either, high operating costs in comparison to the brines, and that's a consequence of using traditional methods for processing constrained by downstream converters, they're all sitting in China and they tend to be a bottleneck one way or another, whether it be by way of capacity or the types of materials they can process, and most of the production doesn't have a nexus with the end user. So what drives the historic costs in hard rock and equation to a large extent, and I won't go into that in a great amount of detail, but the standard processing technology is roasting, throwing dollar bills into a furnace, and then leaching, and to do that you need a high grade, so spodgermen is generally what you shoot for. Because you've got these high grade cut-offs, you've got a high operating cost, your reserves tend to be smaller than they might otherwise would be because you've got to alienate some of the material, if not the spodgermen itself, other minerals that contain lithium, and that relegates materials unnecessarily to waste dumps and tailings dams, but regardless of that, the smart money is moving into hard rock. Now, why is that so? People are obviously looking at rising prices where the sensitivities that I've previously mentioned don't matter as much. So looking at breakthroughs in technology that may change the energy balance, realisation that you may be able to with those technologies process lower grades, and awaiting processes that can also produce from fine-grained materials. But what we need is a paradigm shift in the operating cost profile. So the opportunity is really finding the solution to that, driven by the battery market, of course, which starts with minerals. And this is where we are today, constipated supply chain, most accessible lithium-z expensive stuff, the spodgermen, there's plenty of it lying around, but it does cost a bit to produce it. Downstream processing plants are antiquated, as I've mentioned, and to some extent we've got a lot of potential spodgermen producers coming on stream that really don't have the answers. They're looking at launching into what is taking the global umbrella, the high-cost end of lithium chemical chain. So the solution is improved efficiencies. There's no doubt about that, and applying that to the resources that we have available, looking at technologies that will take the waste and turn it into water, if you like, and have flexible processes that will handle a range of physical properties in the concentrates, different chemical characteristics, and a wide range of mineralogy. Not surprisingly, given lithium Australia owns the silage process, I believe that's probably the solution. So here's the cost curve. This is the one that everyone uses. It's a few years out of date, but we're waiting to save up the money and buy another roscale report so we can get an update. That's where the spodgermen producers sit, around the $4,000 mark. And I should just go back. The green blocks are the brine producers. So the brine producers have a median down around the $2,000 mark to go to lithium carbonate. Silage, that's what we reckon we can get it down to. And our process for de-risking this at the moment we're doing all the bench-scale completion work, we start piloting next month with Anstow, the Australian government, partially under government grants. We hope to commit to a demonstration plant by the end of the year and then go to commercial production. Why silage? Well, there it is. It has a lot of advantages, zero energy footprint, not all that sensitive to grade, a lot of by-product credits, and the capability to produce battery-grade chemicals. It's a hydromete process, so you're not pouring a lot of energy into the system. It's all done in solution. And it's very adaptable, handle all silicate minerals. There's a rough flow sheet, starts off with a sulfur-burning acid plant, add a few other reagents to it, custom design the lexiviant, dissolve the material, pH adjustment, temperature adjustment, pull out the by-products of the various bits and pieces. And we started this by looking at various minerals in sulfuric acid and wondered why the leach curves were different. We found out the fundamental reasons behind that. And you notice there's in walnut, lithium mica dissolves pretty easily in sulfuric acid. Spodgermen will be waiting for a couple of centuries for that to happen. But if you provide the right conditions to all of these things, you can lift everything to the same leach curve. So that's what it's all about. It's a zero-energy process that effectively designs the lexiviant to the mineral and pulls it out with residence times in general, around about four hours pulling out 90% or thereabouts of, well, any metal you want to pull out of it, quite frankly. And at the moment, we're doing something really radical. We're applying some of this to refractory gold, not to pull the gold out to get rid of the waste. So the corporate solution, I think, is looking at technology and matching the technology to the types of deposits. Fairly important, I think, to vertically integrate. And that's the sort of thing that Masquer has done and done very well. And certainly, neometals are following suit there. And that bypass is one of the bottlenecks being the converters. Allows you to build the relationship with the customer and get your financing by way of off-take agreements. Effectively, get the financial insurance to build your operation. So corporate structures need to be based on delivering a product at low cost and comparable with the brine producers, of course. Integrate the supply chain, which is the sort of thing that the Masquer have done, and use the off-take to your best possible advantage. And we think we have the tools to that. This is the company, that's its capital structure, and this is the usual puff out your chest in a corporate manner, and these are all the good things we've done. I will also pass a bit of credit to our partners in Mexico, Alex, who are in the audience today. We're not only working on spodgemene, we're not only working on lithium micers, we're also working with Alex on lithium clays in Mexico. So we're looking at the full spectrum. We believe we can provide a commercial solution for the industry to start to integrate, bypass the middlemen and grow straight from mine gate to battery supply. So that's where I think we need to go. It's all about matching the technology with the ore deposit. Thank you.


Divenin Investing is an amazing tool for you to generate passive monthly income, which you can either use to build up a bigger portfolio or you just pay your bills. In a world where you can make 10 to 20% in the crypto market, flip an NFT for 50 to 1,000% within a couple of hours, or just simply yolo your entire life savings in an AMC call option, Divenin Investing is not the priority. Not too many people are willing to develop the patience and discipline to build a portfolio big enough that can actually pay for their lifestyle. In a previous video up here, I started a dividend portfolio on M1 Finance because I just wanted to move my dividend paying stocks from Robinhood to another brokerage. I still have money invested in Robinhood. It's mostly a growth portfolio and I use that money and those shares for covered calls and cash secured puts. Since I transferred money from Robinhood into my M1 Finance account, my statistics, unfortunately, aren't correct. My Johnson & Johnson investment, for example, shows a loss of $22, although my cost clearly states $840 and the current value of this position is $896. So even though my portfolio shows a gain of $169, my holdings show the real numbers of a combined unrealized gain of $670, including dividends. Out of the $670, I received $195.93 in dividends alone. For such a small account of not even $20,000, I think that's pretty good. It's far from a life-changing dividend portfolio, but you have to start somewhere. All right, enough of me, let's talk dividends. Before you start your dividend portfolio, make sure you understand your taxes because depending on which tax bracket you're in, you either pay 0, 15, or 20% on every single dividend payment. If your taxable income is between $0 and $40,400, you don't have to pay taxes on any dividends received. If your income is between $40,401 and $445,850, you'll have to pay 15% on your dividend income. And if you make more than $445,851, you'll have to pay 20% on your dividends. I know nobody wants to talk about taxes, but trust me, it's important. Depending on your financial dividend goal, you have to just calculate those taxes in because otherwise it would be a big surprise. $1,000 a month in dividends. Here's a question for you. How much money do you think you'll need invested at 4%? Let's just assume 4% in the stock market to receive $1,000 every month. Is it $100,000? Is it $300,000 or $500,000? Let's find out together. If we assume that the average dividend yield of your entire investment portfolio is 4%, all we have to do is take the $1,000 a month, multiply that by 12. So we have the yearly income. It's $12,000, divide that by 4%. And now we know how much money we need. So all you need is $300,000 invested in the stock market. Nice. Well, nobody said it was easy to get paid $1,000 in passive income for absolutely doing nothing. If you are serious about your financial future and passive income in form of dividends sounds interesting to you, you better start today. And when finance even helps you jumpstart that journey with $30 if you sign up. So $1,000 in dividends a month is very ambitious already. Like $300,000 is a big number. But let's see how much money you actually need for $5,000 in dividends per month. So $5,000 a month in dividends. What do we need? Same math applies here. So we take our monthly goal of $5,000 in dividends, multiply that by 12 equals $60,000. $60,000 is our yearly dividend income. Now we divide that by 4% and boom, this is what we need. You will need $1.5 million invested in the stock market with a dividend yield of 4% to achieve $5,000 each month. So who's going to tell me? Oh, yeah. You in the first row? What about taxes? Exactly. Gold star for you. Thank you for paying attention. If you have $1.5 million invested in the stock market, I assume that you're going to be in the highest tax bracket, which means you have to pay 20% on all dividends received. So instead of $60,000 pre-tax, you get $48,000 post-tax. That equals out to $4,000 post-tax per month. So let's see how much you really need to get post-tax $5,000 each month. Here we go. $60,000 is basically 80% because the 20% goes to taxes. So what we're going to do is $60,000 divide that by 0.8, which brings us to $75,000. Now we do the same math all over again. $75,000 divided by 4% equals $1.875 million invested in the stock market at an average dividend yield of 4% generates $6,250 every month pre-tax. That leaves you with $5,000 post-tax. As you can see, free dividend money, as some people describe it, comes at a cost. You have to actively work on your portfolio and feed it on a regular basis to help it grow. And here it comes. Discipline and patience will actually determine how soon your money tree will bloom. I recently started selling covered calls on my growth portfolio shares again because I believe that September and October both months will be weak for my growth portfolio. That way, even though my growth portfolio decreases in value, I can generate money by selling covered calls, which I can then use to feed my dividend portfolio. Last week, I just made $950 by selling covered calls, which is already on the way into my M1 finance account, which then will be invested as soon as it lands there. And while the entire market is red and everything is down, I can go shopping for my favorite stocks at a discount. If you want to see those trades live, join my Patreon, there's a link in the description below. One more thing, you with the gold star. Yeah, you. Thank you so much for paying attention in class. Have a wonderful day.

We'll see you for that in the next video. Bye. Bye. Jasper's casebreak.com


Now let's go back and see how this exercise played out for the group. Okay, it's now 1500. Temperature is 94 degrees, the relative humidity is 18%. Winds have shifted out of the Northwest at 15 miles an hour and the fire has grown to four acres. The transition between the new Type 4 IC and Christina is now complete and dispatch is calling the new Type 4 IC wanting a status update. Dispatch, Squid IC. Squid IC, dispatch. I want to give you a status update. Ready to copy? We're ready. We just experienced a wind shift. Wind has shifted out the Northwest and this is pushing the fire up towards the subdivision. We're continuing with our flanking action along the south and west side of the fire but fire is getting ahead of us. Break. We've got two engines deployed in the subdivision and the report from them is they've got good defensible space and think they can protect the structures. However, this fire is starting to grow. Our intention right now is just to keep the fire out of the subdivision and meanwhile the fire is continuing to grow. Are there any additional resources available? We can check on that for you and let you know as soon as possible. Copy that. What I'd like to try to order up is some kind of air support, either a medium helicopter with a bucket or an air tanker or even a seat. And then also a couple additional hand crews if we could. Copy. Copy that. Would you like air attack along with that? If we have air attack available that'd be good in case this fire gets over the ridge and we can't see it. Also, I'd like to maybe put a request in for IC type 3. It looks like this is starting to grow beyond our capabilities and we possibly be going through the night on this. Copy. Dispatch copies. Last thing I'd like to request is a spot weather forecast and if you could get that back to me as soon as possible that'll help us with our plans for the rest of the evening. Okay, so let me run through this again. You want a spot weather forecast, a type 3 IC, air attack with air tankers and or helicopters with buckets. Yeah, if you could get back to me as soon as you can on the availability of those, I'd appreciate it. And also you said two type 2 crews. Correct. And for the meanwhile what we're trying to do is just keep the fire out of the subdivision. We think we'll have good success with that but the wind is starting to pick up, the humidity has dropped, and the fire behavior is definitely increased. Dispatch copies. We'll check on the status of your resources and let you know. Thank you Dispatch. Good I see clear. At this point we'll end the scenario and begin the after action review. Sand tables are not only a good training tool. They also serve as a good platform to conduct after action reviews. Let's go back to the exercise and listen to a segment of the chainsaw AAR that was done on this incident. A chainsaw AAR is slightly different than the one listed in your IRPG and usually done when you're limited on time. You can read more about chainsaw AARs on the leadership website. Okay I'd like you to facilitate an AAR with your crew at this time. And if you use the reference list in the IRPG that might help you out. Okay if everybody can turn to page 17 of your IRPG we're going to do AAR. And instead of just me talking through most of it I'm going to go ahead and do a chainsaw. And we're going to start over here. And just basically tell me what you saw on the fire. You know go from what was planned what you actually saw and why you think it happened. And we'll just start a conversation feel free to chime in whenever you guys need to. Well when we flew over in the air I thought this was going to be a pretty easy fire. I saw the houses and that was some concern.  It burned under the pines. It wasn't doing a whole lot when we flew over. And of course from the air you know it looked real easy.  So and then you know your plan was good to get down the bottom of it and start working. So I felt pretty comfortable with what we're going to go do. And you knew my objective as far as my square goes where we're going to contain it. I think your intent was you know communicated adequately. We were going to get down the bottom keep it out of the subdivision. Keep it from going east of the ridge and work our way around the flanks. I was a little concerned that we didn't have enough people. And then as we saw later that kind of bore out as we started getting some problems getting line established with the fire moving on us. Right. Deb, anything? I thought you did a good job. I hear tactics were based on expected fire weather. And also the priority of protecting the houses. You did a good job at making sure that we knew where our safety zones were and what was expected of us and what our communications were. You went through the LCES. Any comments over here? I thought it was a good scenario. I mean I'll end the objective. Use a nice briefing. Tactics were solid. I guess if there's anything maybe it would be find out from dispatch what the capability of the resources that were there would be and how we're going to utilize them in the subdivision. Right. I could have probably got the quals of everybody before they were actually on. Yeah. Or just maybe a plan that would be nice for me to know as one of the firefighters on the fire what the plan was for the subdivision other than just go over there and look around pump for the information to come back maybe. I don't know. It affects what's going to happen on the main fire what we're doing there. But again really it's a small point. I thought it was a good job. You know with that I thought that in her intent there was a contingency plan. A couple of things you know number one she sent an individual down into the housing area to assess that so I'm immediately thinking well she's got a bigger picture in mind you know by sending a person down there. Also you could see that she knew what was going to happen with the weather that there was going to be a wind shift and consequently your tactics as expressed through your intent kind of laid out where you wanted us to start and how you wanted us to proceed around this fire. So it's interesting that you can see how contingency planning is buried in her intent. You can dig that out of the intent I guess. So just to give an overview what was planned was we were going to we landed on top we hiked down to the bottom we were going to keep it out of the subdivision on the west side of the ridge and worry about this side later preferably keep it south of there but mainly we're just concerned about the subdivision. And then we set Deb into triage the subdivision waiting the engines to come. Everybody knew that was going on but actually happened was we just focused on the right flank and then the helicopter came in with our other crew members and we did a transition in there. I didn't see happening and I should have was the bridge over there and the volunteer fire department not being able to get over and I felt like I was focusing more of my concentration on fire and not really I didn't call Deb. Deb called me and I should have focused on that a little bit more and tied in with the engines somehow to figure see for myself what is going on with the subdivision. I thought that was a good move though to use the volunteer engine as a water tender rather than just having to sit there and watch. So at least they were busy doing something and actually serving a purpose. Okay I'm going to reveal the training objective to you guys now and it states that given the following scenario players should establish command and communicate their intent to all resources. This can be used as a drill to discuss standard firefighting order number 8 and the IRPG reference communication responsibilities. Players should verbally communicate their decisions to the appropriate individuals. I think that we achieved all of those learning objectives nicely. You definitely communicated your intent to all your resources and I think that we discussed standard firefighting order number 8 that your orders were clear and you made sure they were understood and you also covered the communication responsibilities as they're outlined in the IRPG. Thank you.


All right, good morning, Simon Traders! Happy Wednesday, everybody. Let me get a little chat back. If you guys can hear loud and clear, good to see you all. All right, Louis, good to see you. Lawrence, Lita, Gary, good, good, good. All right. All right, well, yesterday was a really fun day. We had the phase three that we did. It went really, really well. The afternoon was okay. We had the stock, the DWACIC, you guys have been trading. We've been doing really well with that one on a swing trade. But a couple of good stocks. I told you this is a really big week. I got earnings week that's coming out. A lot of stocks are making some really big moves. I guess you heard, everyone heard about Google. Google had unbelievable earnings. And you know we don't trade Google, okay? But for the first time ever, they made an announcement. They're doing a 20 to one stock split. I mean, that should really blow up the stock because they never did a stock split, never. So I guess they got a little jealous what happened with Apple and people with Apple out there. Now you can afford to trade it. But that's a pretty substantial. I think they'll bring it down to, yeah. Well, at 3,020 to one, they're bringing it to about a buck 50, okay? So, and believe me, who does want to own a Google at 150? When you look at 3,000, you know what I mean? So, but its stock took a hell of a hit and made a really nice comeback, 255 points. Anyway, across the board, it's actually moving a bunch of stocks. AMD had really good earnings. You can see AMD came back a little bit. So only one that got crushed was PayPal. PayPal is just getting hammered. Oh my God, this thing is just like not looking good at all. So, but there was a lot of stocks that coming out this week. You had UPS that came out yesterday. There's a lot more that coming out this week. So, you know with the market right now being up 16 points, we noticed that doesn't really mean anything. It looks like these things start picking up afterwards. All right? Yeah, you got Facebook that's coming out, Norman. You got Amazon that's gonna be coming out. So, I think Amazon, you know, I guess with COVID and we had a mini lockdown, you might people do a little bit more shopping, but we'll see how that goes. But there are a couple of stocks I wanna keep an eye on and we'll be focused on them. First of all, let's talk about what we traded yesterday. By the way, we have a lot of people that are logged in from YouTube. So, welcome everybody, where are you from? And you know, hopefully you guys could join us here every morning from 9 a.m. We do a live audio broadcast in pre-market and we do one at 2.30. And you could always do a trial just like us and friend us, get an alerts and you could always join us. So, let's talk about what we traded yesterday for some of you that were not here. There were a couple of good stocks that we did trade. I wanna bring them up. I wanna start off with the KSCP. And that stock you could see it here had a really nice push and then obviously it became a really nice short. We traded back about two days ago, the stock went from six to 16, the next day ran to 27 and it's just a matter of time it will come back down. But that one, if it was on your short list, the stock was a great long and it was a great short, great volatility, a little bit around the risky side. Couple of the stocks I wanna bring up is AMC. So, AMC also, stocks took a very big hit. We knew it had big support levels at 14 and you could see it had a really nice link shot right here when a market opened from 19 down to 16, went right back up to that price of 18 right there. Beautiful way of moving up right there. Nice little mover. That stock did pretty well for us. We also, Ebon, Ebon was awesome. Okay, so this stock, I just wanna bring this up. So, Ebon, yesterday we did a closing bell for some of you, it's been recorded. Just happy to watch it. And I kind of showed one of the PowerPoints. Ebon was just in class yesterday was phenomenal. Okay, so right here at a buck, a dollar eight. Right around a dollar six, the stock only traded, I don't know, a few million, about a million shares, two million shares or something. There was about 400,000 shares looking at Ebon. 400,000, 400,000, okay. Think about this, if you bought, I don't know, 5,000 shares, right? That's a $5,000 investment. That's like buying 1,000 shares of a $5 stock, okay? Stock literally once the order started coming in, we saw the thing just take off. It ran all the way up to about $22. Now you do the math. If you just made me 10 cents, 10 cents on 5,000, 500 dollars, that was a nice, you know, 500 dollars a day, $100,000 salary. I actually have to say, this was probably the easiest trade that I've seen in months, okay, to see that. And then all of a sudden, the order's got pulled, it was great.  We'll get you the archive and you can watch it. I had good examples on it. It was all on level four though. It's all about following the money, but I'm just bringing up because it was just, it was just very, very awesome to see something like that. And then the DWAC obviously is doing great. For some of you don't know this stock, we traded the stock on, I love to talk about it. This was just like one of the best on-site classes we had in a long time. We watched this stock from $9. This is the day when we traded from 12 to 54. And we basically that day, we didn't even, we couldn't even do an on-site class, you know, the way we'd usually do it, because everyone was just printing money that day. I mean, 12 to 54, then the next day, the day it went to 180. So for some of you that do not know this stock right here, this is the new President Trump's Twitter, new Twitter company that's gonna replace, that's competing against Twitter. She's been really, really hot.  And you know, it was crazy about it. It's been holding here for a while since November. So I can see the stock, you know, probably testing new highs, but if you notice, it's making higher highs, okay? So I think they go in public in February, they're gonna start launching it. But once again, buy on rumor, sell on news.  Anyway, a couple of the stocks I wanna talk about today, there were a lot of stocks on the watch list. The only problem is that, you know, we have an A list and a B list, right? So the OBA, okay, let's talk about pre-market and what would some of you that were here this morning, early this morning. And once again, we start trading here at 7.45 in the morning, depending on where you are in the world, that's Eastern time. So we're trading in pre-market. OBL was a nice little move right here. If you came here around 7.45, really nice inexpensive move. Stock started when I found it, you had the watch list up there. OBL started right around this 219 and right around eight o'clock, she did pretty good, she went to like 240, you know? And it's, she's holding pretty strong. She had a little nasty shake right here. But the stock, obviously, you had that 8 AM program trading, which we're very aware of. Remember, you got 8 AM, 8 30 and 9 AM. So stock looks strong, you know, cheap inexpensive stock, nice spread. I would give it maybe a category two. I like the stock because some of you remember, we trade this back in November and the stock went from $4 all the way up to 12. So we know the stock can move. So if you've done your journals, go back, see how you traded it because I always tell you this, we're going to trade these stocks again. We always do, okay? So we have the OBL, another stock on PayPal. Now, you know this is not our forte. We don't really trade stocks like this, okay? But sometimes I can't help myself, you know what I mean? This stock is obviously, you could see it, earnings were really bad and it's just making new lower lows and the market's not even open. We still have another 20 minutes.  This is why it's important that you have to know and have the right brokerage account because let me tell you, these brokers see the orders coming in and they're like, well, I got Joe from California that's looking to sell it. Let me short it right now because I already got a buyer. Remember brokers are always trading against you and that's why we have direct access and that's why we're all here. Boyle's been a great swing trade for a lot of us so I don't know if everyone still has it but I would get a little nervous right now because we're testing some big resistance. A lot of you should have been in it around the $27, $28 price range, $30 price range. So if you're on that swing trade, you're probably doing well. That was a pretty fun stock. It went to about a hundred, came all the way down here. You know, and listen, from December on we saw the writing on the wall. So remember the swing trade on that we're doing pretty well on that one too. So you got Boyle, UNG. Another one, once again, it's a gas stock. I don't like the pre-market, very, very spotty.  Trade very similar to Boyle. UNG, oh, that's, I did that one. Oh, so we know about Google, right? So really interested what's gonna happen on that stock split. It's about time. I mean, I remember that company went public. I, that's how I'm really showing my age. All right, couple of stocks on the B list.  Thanks for sharing that, Norman. Yeah, Norman in the cyber group room just told, yeah, nice push right there. You know what, you know, right there. So 320, let me, you know what, I just deleted it by accident. Let's go check level four. I know we have a lot of people here on YouTube, probably never seen it before. And some of you trial members in the cyber group, you're still getting used to it. So remember, it's how we follow the money. So we bring up level four really quick and you can see it right here. So we got a 56,000 share buyer right here.  Okay, so you could see that there was some big, big iceberg orders that were holding here pretty steady at 220. A big volume order just came in right here. You could just see it. So now it's breaking a new high.  Little gorgeous, cheap and expensive or we could afford it, nice spread. So good luck with that one. Let's look at a couple of the ones cause we're running out of time here. We got MDJH also made the watch list, cheap stock up 67%. The only thing I don't like about it, she's starting to trend down a little bit and she's got some support levels here around 275.  A lot of you guys want to know the high frequencies, the dark pools, you're probably reading a lot about that, but that's where we find them. Just checking right now where they're at. I liked it before. It's got great volume, 7.9 million shares. Yeah, I'm not really seeing it. You know what, there was a big order out here and this is why it probably collapsed. There was about a 20, there was a pretty much like a, close to like a 50, 60,000 share order right around 307 kind of explains why it bracked off right here, 307 right here, been out there for a while. But listen, sometimes they make a pop, you know, when the market opens up. So that's why I put it on the B list. Another stock on the B list, ETTKX, I'm sorry. I liked the volume. I liked that the stock was $4, one of the first days up. We'll keep an eye on that one too. AMD, very volatile stock, very expensive, but did well. Probably put this on the C list. VX, VLNX, another one I found. Is that right? No. Which one was it? No, that's not the one. Scratch that one. CPRI. Now this stock also a pretty big, about 11%. Stock had a really good pop here from 55. It looks like it just broke 52 week highs. Only issue, the spread is pretty ugly, but the volume is pretty decent, 330,000 shares. That's not that bad. All right, this is another one. That's pretty much it. Yeah, that, oh, I'm sorry. K-O-L-D is another one. This stock looks like probably could be a short. You know, it's an ETF. You know how I feel about ETFs. You can't really see the orders that much, but you know, so that's why I put it more in the B and the C list, which makes it quite difficult. What else do we trade? Oh, yesterday, Ford, we did pretty good. I've got to mention that one. How do I forget about Ford? Ford was, Ford's been a really fun stock to trade, by the way. So we got this big little bounce right here in Ford too, and it had big support levels around 20 and really having that. It wasn't a huge pop and a huge winner, but this stock obviously with this big crash right here, stock had a really nice pop. We traded that too in class too. So anyway, any stocks I'm missing, I did not call out. Klobub will like to see the iceberg that's been there at 50,000 pre-market. What, the Chuck is saying, what, the CLOV? Hold on, let's go check it out. CLOV? Yes. Let me put that on the watch list. CLOV, yes. Nice trade right there, nice call out. Let me just go check on the level four. Is that guy still out there, Chuck?  It showed up probably later. I didn't see it yet. It was great from yesterday, but it didn't come up on my watch list because it's only up 10%. It just started moving. You know what? I see the guy you're talking about. You're talking about this guy right here? Yeah, 110,000. He put his order and he canceled it, okay? And he's there. Definitely very interesting. Big order got filled in right here. Absolutely, we're gonna hawk that baby right there at CLOV. Something's going on on that stock. We remember, we traded the stock last year right from eight dollars to 30, okay? All right, anything else that we're missing that I did not call out? Want to get ready for the market open up? We got about less than 15 minutes. All right, listen, if you're watching YouTube Facebook Live, we'll be back here at 2.30 for the afternoon. If you want to come and do a trial for $9, just like us, friend us, click us in the bottom and you can join us for a whole week in the trading room. You can join us, pre-market whatever. If you're new to cyber trading, I know a lot of you have appointments with your education advisor. Please talk to them. They're gonna show you exactly how to appreciate it. Just do not buy anything we trade. We do not teach you how to trade. We just want to see, to teach you and show you not about the winners. We want to teach you about the losers and how few we have because it's the losers everyone has a big problem dealing with. Winners take care of themselves. You gotta know how to take these losses and that's what we really focused on, on entries and exits in class. So if you miss class, definitely be there. In the meantime, everyone, be safe. We'll start commentating a little bit. Everybody on YouTube, we'll see you back here at 2.30.


After I did this trick, my English improved significantly as an immigrant. As you know, I only moved to the US with $800 in my pocket. People always laugh at my accent. People don't always back me. But I did a most important investment with only $300. That changed the game forever. I went to a nonprofit called Boston Adult Education Center and they have advanced American pronunciation classes for immigrants. And only $300, I have a teacher teach me how to pronounce all the American words, how to pronounce English in American way and she correct me each individual words, each individual vowels. This is amazing. I suggest everybody to take those advanced American pronunciation classes. It's going to change your life right away.

Alright, our next talk will be in German, those if you would like to listen to it in English, there is the live translation available. Also for this lecture you have the opportunity to ask your questions on Mastodon, on ISC, on Twitter, think on the appropriate hashtag R3C for the remote chaos experience and R3S so that it can also be assigned to this lecture. Our speaker for the next lecture is Therese Gier. She is a physicist and was very happy with her presentation software and therefore wrote her presentation software, the Potato Presenter, to make things better than the Beamer Package by Latech. Welcome. Thank you. As I said, in the last months I wrote my own presentation software. This is the program when you open it. The basic idea was to make a new presentation here so that you have a text input on the left side and on the right side it is shown directly and you can move it freely. For example, if I put a new photo here and write something here on this title, then I can move it freely afterwards. That was the basic idea. In the first part of the presentation I will show you how this program works. In the second part I will then go into questions like how to design it, how it is possible for the user intuitively. If you want to have it, you can use this basic idea. When I open it here, I get the suddenly opened files. Here I can also select a favorite template. There is a demo presentation here and it opens at the point where I want to save it. Here I can also change the directory, so I will do my presentation. That's why I made it a bit as a tutorial. This template is used here. You can also use variables here, for example the title for an interactive tutorial. Then you can write it here directly if I put the title page here. Here I write class title page, then I get the title page. I have already shown the basic concept. You can tap in here and it will then render it directly to the photo and then you can move it freely here. The commands are very easy to hold. You can create a new slide, then you need an id, a name. Here in this case the basic concept 2. If I want to have a title now, I can simply enter title on the left side. If I don't enter anything, he takes the id from the side. If I enter something, he takes it. With the command body I can create a new text field and with the command image a new image. Then I can move my elements here. I have already shown that before. If I want to rotate it, I can also rotate it. You can use the buttons here in the toolbar. Then I can rotate it. Then I can scale it. By the way, it is surprisingly difficult to get to the point where you can scale it when it is turned. If I want to have my basic concept here, I can mark it on a rotated field. There is the reset rotation. Then he makes it back. If I reset it, it also makes it back to the starting position. In addition, I have a connection between the preview and the editor. If I click somewhere here, he jumps into the preview director and then marks it right away. Then it has to make some formatting. I have built in basic markdown support here in these body elements. Then you can make things fat with two stars or cosy with other scores. Or you can also... Here is a marker definition. If you take one star, you will get this marker definition. Then you have a simple form support here. With a dollar sign or two dollar sign for the next row. Where you can write the form here. Now it is a bit of a problem. Maybe there are people who want to have a bit more than just the markdown. That's why I thought about it. Because I have different elements here, maybe these CSS are very good. These properties. On the other hand, people already know that. I then implemented them for the different elements. If you have the command in the corner columns, you can write these CSS properties. For example, background orange makes an orange background. Or green text. Color queen. Or you can also change the font size. The border radius. The basic things are implemented. It is not the whole CSS implemented. It is very big. And now there are still people who want to have even more. Because now I still have the problem. So popular colors. Within a box it will be a bit difficult with the markdown and the CSS. That's why I thought about it. Then there is this latex box. I can write popular things there. And then I just convert it to latex and write it there. When you see it, it is usually so that you do not need a markdown to define these elements. But there are here the poorly written markdowns to make it clear that this is all part of the box. Because the latex has a lot of commands. The bad latex would then be the parser. It would then be recognized as internal potato language and not as latex. That's why you have to make this claimant there. And then I also defined this plain text box here. That's exactly the opposite. If you don't want to do anything with markdowns, when a markdown is interpreted, you can just use it and then you get exactly how you entered it. Then I wrote a code box here. Then you can enter a popular language. In this case, pipe. And then you use the highlighting of the pipe to set this code here on the right. You can also do something else here. This is from Karl's syntax highlighting. So he also has a lot of languages. Then you just enter it here and then you mark it. Exactly. What many people also want to do is to set some shapes in your file or maybe make a box. For that I have this geometry command. And there is not so much at the end. So just the basic stuff. And you can also change the color of it. And then you just mark it there. Now it can be that you want to have even more. It's not enough for someone to make the files and then he wants to have his own shape in his presentation. And that's why I thought about this. Then you can put a new image here. I have made the border on solid here so that you can see it. And you can do that in popular pages. And then you can click on right click here. And then on create SVG and open in Inkscape. And then you just need it a little bit. Then you generate a new SVG with exactly the pages. And then you can make your favorite shape here. Your favorite image. You can just save it. No, that's file save.  So he has a file watcher on it who then looks if this SVG that he just created has also changed and then just loads it afterwards. Exactly. Now there are still individual variables that you can define. You have seen a few above. But I can now, for example, the set was tomato potato. And when I then use that later here on the file, I wrote here, the tomato is a tomato. And then he uses the potato because I defined that earlier. Just like that, I can here the current date is in date. I get a variable date again. It is automatically set. It's not so nicely formatted now, but you can also set it personally. Then he has the page number as page number variable and as total pages. And then you can change the default properties. And what I mean by that is you can write color red here and then I'm done with red. And then I'm back on black law or gray. Exactly. And yes, that was actually what I wanted to show you from my program. Yes, you can download it from here. Exactly. And as I said, at the end, if you have your presentation ready, then you can export PDF here and then you can select where you want to save your presentation. So, for example, there and then just open it with your PDF viewer. I can also do it briefly. Where is it now? Is it there? Or maybe it's not there. I saved it now. There it is. There is my presentation and I can just present it with my PDF viewer. Exactly. And now comes a little bit the second part of the project and there I went with such a thought about what to talk about that I had at the beginning this idea that on the one hand you have this text input and then with the mouse interactive the presentation can be manipulated and how I then implemented it, as I design the syntax and how I make it as intuitive as possible for the user so that I can save it. Exactly. And I wanted to talk about that in the second part. Exactly. So first I wanted to talk about the syntax then how I implemented it. The problem is a little bit when I have a element on the left of my software in the editor, then it has to give a mapping to the right side. The software has to know that this element is in there and that is there and there. And to do that every box or every element has an identifier and I would like to talk about that. Then it is that right now from templates I want to somehow give the opportunity and then there is a predefined position where the elements should be or predefined letters or for example the color or so. Exactly. And for that I have this class as a concept. I will go on to that. And in the end I will tell you shortly, because I did not use the technology then I will do a little bit of advertising for my software for which advantages it has and what I have in the future to implement. Exactly. And of course I thought maybe it's always good. Exactly. And similar to Latech because I thought that the people already know it so they feel comfortable. It's nice when it looks similar. Exactly. Then markdown in the text elements also because it's very easy and that people already know it and it's not complicated exactly. And as I said, then I thought in the corner corners you can preferably format your elements as you want to have them. And that's why these CSS properties because these elements are always these boxes fits well. And what came out at the end is part of this syntax that I have these key words slide title body image and then simply write the text after. And I just tried to do that so to speak. As I said, there are these optional typed columns, but that you can just do it without any reference signs or anything else that can be written. Simply because it's very easy for the user and transparent. Then I put it out it's not that easy to pause. But too late. Exactly. And then you can write a markdown here and then to your image. Then exactly now is the next task that I have already mentioned that I have these elements that I have created in my text form and then I have the position of the elements that are not in my text file and I need it somehow mapped. And then I thought that every box has a clear ID.  The problem is that you don't have it's okay to use it but you don't have the desire to write it down. So it still works that you write the id there but it's not so practical. The second idea was just a counter. So I just number my elements through. The problem is that you also change the position because you have the counter of the box in front of you. So it's not so practical. And what I did is that I went through a middle path. I just put an id that is a middle path for both. So at the beginning it always says the internal and then the slide id when you create a new file then the command that you used to create the element so in this case it would be the bad text. Then the class of the object if you don't have a class so I'll tell you later it's empty and then the counter at the end if there are still elements and then when I have a text element and a picture in my text editor the position changes then nothing changes and only when I change two text fields then the position changes then you just have to push it with your hand. But that doesn't happen so often. And the format that I gave was that there is this text file that is shown in the editor and it is just .potato suitable for a potato presenter and in this there is this syntax that we give ourselves and additionally in the background there is this JSON file that is automatically saved you can also look at it for example for this text box there is the id has internal myslide myslide text because it was created class is body and then it has zero and there is the position of the box and the angle in which it turned and you can just read and when I save it is written in there and and now I thought about I'm not happy with my id yet because exactly these problems that I just told and there was the idea that even if you put the foil there is always a conversion process that once when I press the whole starts to pass the whole text input and then the elements accordingly to paint and in this step you can just check the similarity and in most cases I will only have something tipped so that you have moved the two elements or exchanged then also excluded and I still have to implement there is not so and then I just thought again how does the user actually create a presentation and probably also without this CSS properties because it is somehow not so nice and actually the user would like to use a template and then with simple commands create a good presentation and only in individual cases then also push something around or enter this CSS properties that means if I enter it now then I just want to so maybe I am already satisfied and and exactly and then when I can move the picture I can still move it but it should work like this and and how I wanted to reach was with this class concept and the idea was that these classes that present the full position and formation so where is it and how it looks like so once the CSS properties they can be taken over and that this class can be defined in a template and I can then load the template exactly with this command that I have already shown use template template and then you just use the title position of the box of the boxes as I have defined in the template this template there is only template because it is automatically copied into the folder that's why it's called template exactly so you could also enter a path into the template exactly and then I can also present elements like page number that is always right in the corner that I don't have to enter so it's it's automatically printed exactly then I can also with the define class property define slides that look like for example here I have used the class title page and in the template it says how it looks and in this case for example here in this case the title is large in the middle and not small like on the other pages it's always up here and exactly that is again on the title page it looks different the title field on the other page and then it was a bit of a consideration now I have defined classes in my template and now the user has to come up with the idea how to use it all and then the idea was that you have this preview that will be opened when you click on it I will now create a new presentation then he has the template in the background but at the same time he already had a few previews where you can see how it is defined which classes are defined which folios and then you can simply attach exactly and then it will be directly in the folder that you have chosen copied and the demo will be opened and then there is a bit of the question I now have a few syntax shortcuts in here so for example text class body is the same as bad body and the text class title is the same as title now it's a bit of the question that doesn't exist yet whether it should be the same and the question is how far you can go I would also like to write your opinion in the chat it's a difficult question because it's very easy to enter body and title but maybe the user doesn't come up with the text class title the same title but it's a question how far you can go now there is a bit of a problem because I have the same elements on my presentation which should be in the same position and then there is the pause command as with latex that is exactly what is happening here there is a slight pause on the left and I can do the same for these classes in my presentation I can use the property list define class my element and then use it on a different photo with class my element what have I used for technology on the one hand c++ with the Qt framework the ktext editor on the left for the pause I have used the antlr4 that works very well for this potato language and for the markdown it was a bit difficult I think it has something to do with the definition of the markdown that it is very spongey what it is defined and what it should mean maybe a karmatik is not suitable for that then I have used the latex for the formulas it starts in the background in my latex conversion process and then simply adds the svg into the presentation and in the end I have used the brace icons now a bit of a rebound for what is so great about my tool it has a very simple data format which can be read by both people that means I can use it very easily because yes and what is also very useful is that I don't have a concept of a processing mode of the boxes and a shift mode I can't predict whether I just want to shift the element I can't get into this mode that I'm actually adding text and anyway it is quite easy to use some templates it automatically generates these page numbers or here when I entered it in the template a small icon in the add curls no problem and still I can move my elements according to lust and laune and now I have some future plans if you have any ideas what you can use as a technology I would also like to say on the one hand I would like to use a new SVG renderer I use the QSVG renderer from Qt but it works so he can somehow imagine all SVGs how they look in inkscape and I would like to look at a new one that I can use then with the element I also use the Q Painter from Qt to generate the PDFs I'm not 100% happy with it because it is a little undefined but now the image in the PDFs 1 to 1 with the PIXMAP renderer or the PNG in the background it is a little difficult to say from the outside maybe you can see it with the Q Painter with the Formal Support it is a little bit difficult I don't know if I have seen something but it is a bit weird because I don't know if I have my SVG from the Latech I don't know where the baseline is I don't get it and then it is a little difficult to build it so that it looks good I've built it but I'm not very happy with it then long-term there will probably be open window support just to get more users and then there is a very long list of new features so one of the inner features is that you can set different sections so that it as in Latech, which is also possible also writes the different sections then there was a idea that you can use the PIP-Tech and that it automatically makes the sources and the list is relatively long but if you also have new ideas please yes exactly thank you for listening and maybe you want to try it out I've built an app image here on the internet I've built it under a Ubuntu 18 it doesn't run everywhere but you can also build it yourself exactly, I hope you try it out don't happen thank you very much for your presentation really good people in the network would like to know where do the templates come from and who is taking care of them at the moment there is a list of these templates that I've built myself there are not many at the moment I will also build that in the next time I've built it all myself and everyone is there it's still a very small project we haven't done anything yet thank you for the answer in which data format would you like to talk about it yes, when I save something for example I have here when I'm here on my presentation this is the one I've created then you can see there is the My Presentation Potato and the My Presentation Jason these are the two data formats this is my own data format in which it says what is on the left on the left side in the editor and on the other is the Jason data and then here in the folder the template is automatically copied that is in the same format ok, thank you then you are asked is there a possibility to blend all the elements yes, there is that is in the template when I'm here I can from here I have this I can open it this is my presentation that I've just shown and here are the header which is defined in the template I don't add them here yes and the template you can just edit when I open it here I have defined this is the page I've defined as default it will be applied when I haven't added anything else the font size is bigger and here I have this element defined on each side just like the page numbers and this section that is a variable that I can easily set ok, thank you then you are asked is the program for scientific application like inline-latech or mudjacks yes, there is this inline-latech so here there is what I've just shown so I can write a p here then it needs then it does it so it starts in the background, in the latech and then it adds it so it works ok then people would like to know if the generated PDF is suitable for screen reader it probably comes on the screen reader so it's a PDF the qpdf generated I think it will be enough for the PDF standard thank you and then there was a lot of praise and not too many new features to be built it's probably not a bad not a bad idea in that sense thank you very much for your lecture and also for answering all the questions yes yes of course you can give feedback also to this in the planning and now I wish you a lot of fun

Hello Arlington voters my name is Jane Morgan and I am running for a third three-year term on the Arlington School Committee. I've been a school committee member for almost six years now and during that time I have served as chair of the committee, I have served as chair of the curriculum instruction assessment and accountability subcommittee, I've been a member of the budget subcommittee and I have I came in before COVID, I saw what happened to our schools during COVID and I've been here for the recovery process. I've worked with two different superintendents, a number of central office administrators and I am looking forward to having the opportunity to serve the Arlington community for another three years. I have four children in the Arlington public schools, I've lived in Arlington since 2003 with my husband, we have a fifth grader at Stratton, we have three students at Arlington High School, two ninth graders and an eleventh grader and for my full-time work I work as an administrator and an associate dean at Southern New Hampshire University. I care deeply about how our students, our staff, our teachers, our administrators experience our school, I care a lot about what school looks, sounds and feels like for our families, what messages we're sending home, how we engage with guardians and for the people who take care of our students for the majority of the time. I have a lot of things that I'm looking forward to seeing over the next three years and a lot of things that I think that the Arlington public schools needs to continue to work on. I am looking forward to the completion of the Arlington High School building project, I am looking forward to the continued rollout of the new literacy curriculum in our elementary schools and I am looking forward to seeing how we transition our largest cohort of students who are currently in fifth grade through their middle school years. I think that APS has a lot of work to do around how we engage with the parents and guardians of our students who receive special education services. I would like to see continued emphasis on how we communicate with all families, what the caliber of that communication looks like, how consistent is it, are people having similar experiences at different schools across the district, as well as I'm looking forward to having a student graduate from Arlington High School in the spring of 2025 and having sort of experienced that full K-12 arc as a parent. So I love talking to people, I really like engaging with our community, I like hearing from our students and from our families. So I look forward to another three years with my colleagues on the school committee and I hope that you will come out to vote in the town election. Thank you.
