00:16 A beautiful atoll in the Pacific,
00:19 gorgeous water, beautiful gardens, 00:23 an orthopedic team and hand problems. 00:26 What do they all have in common? 00:27 Stay tuned. 01:04 And why do you call it copra as opposed to coconut? 01:07 Oh, when it's dry, 01:12 when the meat is dry that when it's called copra. 01:16 After it's dry, not the raw coconut then. 01:18 Not the raw, yeah, not the raw. 01:21 But the base product is the coconut. 01:25 Okay. 01:26 Well, I'm anxious to go see the process. 01:29 Let's go straight there. 01:31 Okay. 01:32 Is this the... Yeah, sure. 01:34 I got to see here. 01:36 Wow, that's really interesting. 01:46 It's got a totally different smell 01:49 and I think it has. 01:51 All that goes in here? Yeah. 01:53 All goes in there... 01:58 All big, chews it all up. 02:00 Yeah, chews it up all 02:01 and everything all the way up there 02:05 and to the mill. 02:07 From there, it goes through 02:13 here. 02:15 Now what's, what am I looking at here? 02:16 Um, you know... 02:19 It's kind of a conveyor belt, is it? 02:21 Yeah, conveyer, yes. Okay. 02:23 Yeah. This is the grinder. 02:25 This is the grinder, one who grind the copra. 02:29 After grinding there is now base like this. 02:32 Yeah. 02:34 After grinding, from copra the grinding is done. 02:42 Yeah, interesting. Yes. 02:43 Okay. 02:45 Boy, it's so oily. It's very oily. 02:48 This is before than any oil is taken out. 02:49 Yeah. 02:51 After grinder, 02:52 this is cooker cooking, this one. 02:55 The copra, grind copra will be coming up 02:58 along with the copra oil and then cooked down. 03:01 This is the cooker. 03:02 For cooking, we are using steam boiler. 03:05 Okay. 03:06 So, it actually puts moisture in there too while it's cooking 03:10 before the oil. 03:12 No, the cooker is separated. Oh, it's separated. 03:14 Yeah, the inside is the copra grind 03:16 and then outside is the steam. 03:18 Cannot be mixed. It doesn't touch. 03:20 Okay. 03:21 So what's the reason to heat it? 03:24 For heating is it to remove the oil 03:27 before to the coconut grinder we had, 03:29 because it couldn't, cannot be separated. 03:32 Yah. Easy to squeeze, easy to press. 03:35 How hot do you heat it? How many degrees? 03:38 100 degrees centigrade. 03:41 Centigrade. So that's very hot. Okay. 03:44 This one will squeeze the copra 03:47 and then the copra could come out here, the oil on that side. 03:52 These two machines, that one isn't serviced. 03:55 This one 25 tons of copra in 24 hours. 03:59 How much? Twenty five tons of copra. 04:00 Thirty five tons? Two five. 04:02 Two five. Two five tons, wow. 04:15 So your name is Einstein. I can't forget that. 04:17 Yes. What do you do here? 04:20 I'm the plant manager around this thing. 04:24 Okay, well give us a little tour of what, 04:27 we saw the process at the other part of the plant. 04:30 And, but now you're the refinery, 04:31 you do more with the product? 04:34 Yes, we actually process the crude coconut oil 04:39 to make all that RBD refined, 04:44 bleached, and deodorized cooking oil 04:46 from the crude coconut oil from coconuts. 04:49 Okay. Yeah. 04:51 Give us the tour here. Yep. 04:53 See that tanker there? Mm-hmm. 04:55 Yeah. 04:56 We move the crude oil 04:57 from the oil mill to here for refining 05:02 for further processing. 05:04 And then can we move around here? 05:07 You see, we put this, 05:08 we call it the day tank, 05:11 the small tank there. 05:13 Okay, so day tank, it's actually, 05:16 you put some there for measurement 05:19 and transfer here. 05:21 So, then it comes up into here? 05:22 The neutralization tank. 05:25 You see, technically there's what we call the FFA 05:30 on the crude coconut oil, the free fatty acid, 05:34 it's not really good. 05:35 Free fatty acid is not good in coconut oil, 05:37 so you separate that out? We separate that out too. 05:40 That's why we neutralize it 05:42 with alkali which is caustic soda. 05:45 Okay. 05:46 So that's a separation process that you do? 05:48 Yes, that's the process. 05:50 Okay. 05:52 Out of it, you get the waste product 05:54 like soapy stuff, 05:55 but we can process that again into soap 05:59 and we collect it here. 06:04 Oh, wow. That's still stuck. 06:07 See that messy part of the crude coconut oil. 06:10 That is ugly. 06:12 If you notice the crude coconut oil 06:13 from is dirty, is really dark like coffee. 06:17 This eventually becomes soap? 06:19 Yeah, that's already a soap. 06:21 That's already a soap. It's a... 06:22 We call it black soap, dirty soap. 06:25 Okay. 06:27 Well, I'm anxious to see how you get it white. 06:29 Yeah, from that. 06:32 Yep, the process includes 06:35 the separation of soap at the bottom 06:38 and neutralize oil at the top. 06:41 After neutralization, 06:43 we take, we move the oil to the bleaching tank. 06:47 Okay. 06:49 There we dry the oil to get the moisture 06:53 because we use some water here. 06:55 And dried the oil before we bleach it. 06:59 We use bleaching materials like 07:02 activated carbon. 07:04 Okay, charcoal, but it's activated. 07:07 It's activated, so it can absorb colors. 07:10 That thing there is a bleaching tank. 07:13 It is operated under vacuum 07:15 and heat the oil to about 07:20 80-90 degrees centigrade. 07:23 Under vacuum, water evaporates below 100. 07:28 Then we add the bleaching agents. 07:32 After that, we filter it. 07:34 On top, there's a filter on top. 07:36 This is actually the color of your cooking oil 07:38 now, final color. 07:39 Yeah, that's nice looking. 07:41 Yeah, if you smell this there's still some bad smell. 07:44 Yeah, yep. 07:46 That's why we go to the deodorizer. 07:51 We cook it at very high temperature 07:53 like 175 degrees centigrade. 07:56 Centigrade? Under vacuum. 07:58 Really hot. Yeah, under vacuum. 08:01 So, because the oil 08:04 with air will oxidize, 08:07 it will burn at that temperature, 08:10 but under vacuum it will not. 08:12 Okay but it kicks off the smell. 08:14 Yeah, the smell, they evaporate, 08:18 and we call in water casserole, 08:20 that's where they catch the bad smell 08:23 and it's just through the water. 08:26 After deodorizing, 08:27 we call this the final filter, polishing filter. 08:32 Whatever carbon passed through here 08:36 so we collected here. 08:38 And what are all the little spigots, 08:40 those are all... 08:41 Those are oil, filtered oil. 08:42 All the oil's dripping out. The filtered oil. 08:44 So this will be the final filter 08:46 before your cooking oil is. 08:48 So now it comes from after drippers. 08:52 See, it's under high temperature 08:54 so we have to cool it first 08:56 before we filter and take it out. 08:58 Okay. 08:59 And once, where does it go now 09:01 from here to the bottle and thing. 09:03 To storage tanks at the back, stainless steel. 09:06 Okay. See here so where they make... 09:10 Oh, wow. 09:12 Bad soap or they call it dirty soap 09:14 from coconut oil. 09:18 And all of is by hand? 09:21 Yeah. 09:31 Now so they cut it all 09:33 and then she uses that 09:34 little handy thing to square it all up. 09:36 Yep. They use cutters. 09:40 From a slob like this, it will end up like this. 09:44 We mixed coconut oil 09:48 with the right percentage of caustic soda. 09:54 So, what you don't know 09:57 is caustic soda by itself will bring you. 10:00 That is just by itself. 10:02 Yeah, but when you mix it 10:03 with all coconut oil it becomes soap. 10:08 My grandmother used to make larding through animal fat. 10:12 Yeah, animal fat, yeah. 10:15 This is where we mix the caustic with water. 10:20 Careful. 10:22 No, yeah. 10:23 Unfortunately, they don't mix soap on Fridays 10:27 because they have to take it 10:29 out of the mold the next day otherwise... 10:32 So, they poured in those molds 10:34 and it comes out here like that. 10:35 Yeah, yeah. 10:37 They pour the mixture here. Okay. 10:41 They use that to take it, see the soap sticks to this. 10:44 Separated off the plywood. 10:46 And they pull the string out. 10:49 Take out this thing like that. 10:52 Is that how they also do the slicing of the bars? 10:55 Yep. 10:56 Firstly, we use these 10:58 to make it like slices this way. 11:07 That's why we need huge people doing that. 11:12 Huge people. Big muscles. 11:15 Big muscles. 11:21 There you go. 11:23 Wow, that was easy. 11:25 Or at least they made it look easy. 11:28 Just cut one or two. 11:31 We're thinking of mechanizing this thing. 11:33 Doing what now? Mechanized. 11:36 We're looking for machines that can do it. 11:41 Yeah, another one. 11:48 From there, they make it smaller. 11:55 That's the thickness of the soap now. 12:00 That's the final size. 12:06 After they make the form, 12:10 scraping off the edges, 12:12 we move it to the office for curing. 12:15 And then once you cure it, you package it? 12:17 We package it. And then ship it out? 12:19 Where do you ship to? 12:20 Do you have a lot of distribution? 12:22 Right now they're sending some to the mainland 12:26 for advertisement. 12:29 Okay, for advertising. 12:31 For advertising and a lot of them 12:33 goes to Hawaii also, or Arkansas. 12:36 Especially Arkansas and Hawaii, 12:38 that's where they mark our soap. 12:40 Einstein, I really appreciate your time. 12:43 Thank you so much.

Yeah. 14:47 In that situation, you use a computer a lot 14:52 or use your hands a lot? 14:54 Yeah. 14:55 You said you had explained a little more with your hands. 14:58 You had problems with your hands. 15:00 What were those problems? 15:01 Okay, I had severe pain with my hands, 15:05 I suffered it for four years. 15:09 That two years, I have to go 15:11 to the rehabilitation department 15:15 in Majuro Hospital, 15:17 and then they will just put some machines on me. 15:20 And then there are some what I electricity 15:25 there that comes into my hands 15:28 and then it is off and on. 15:30 Do they give you any drugs too and try and do stuff? 15:33 Yeah, the pain relievers. 15:36 Whenever I have severe pains had pain relievers. 15:42 Did they try and treat you with steroids 15:44 or anything like that too? 15:46 Yeah, three years ago, 15:50 I really consulted the internist, 15:53 why I read, I have these severe pain in my hands. 15:58 So I took medicines, 16:00 and then the pain did not subside. 16:05 So when I went to the Philippines 16:07 for my vacation, 16:09 I had to see the doctor of the bone. 16:14 Orthopedics. Orthopedics. 16:16 And then he had injected me two steroids, 16:21 one in my right hand and one in my left hand, 16:25 because I had severe pains in my, in both hands. 16:28 You could still move your hands yet, 16:30 but it was painful. 16:31 No, because when I do like this, 16:35 it will just be curling. 16:37 And I have to assist my other hand like that. 16:42 And then like that before it is open. 16:45 So you couldn't manually flex your fingers. 16:47 No, I could not manually flex my fingers. 16:51 So, after six months, 16:55 of course, the pain did not subside. 16:58 It's still there, so I have to go back 17:01 to the same doctor. 17:03 And then he gave me, a guy, again, another steroid. 17:08 So... But they're no good for you? 17:10 Yeah, I know, it's not good. 17:12 And then I was asking myself, why twice because it's already, 17:17 it is the steroid. 17:18 And I know it would really be detrimental to my health. 17:24 So when the Canvasback team came, 17:26 I said to myself, "I have to see the doctors 17:30 because it was the, 17:32 team was composed of orthopedics doctors." 17:36 So, at the latter part of their visit here, 17:41 because I have to give way for the Marshallese people. 17:44 So, at the latter part of their stay here, 17:47 I went to see the doctor. 17:50 And I was very thankful because I was given a slot that 17:54 I will be operated by some of the doctors. 17:58 And... 18:00 What happened when they looked at your hands, 18:01 what did they say? 18:02 Oh, they say that it was a trigger finger, 18:06 but I was unlucky, 18:08 because I had it in my two hands. 18:11 So, they say "Oh, do not be, 18:13 do not worry that this operation is just simple." 18:17 So I trust the doctors. 18:20 And what happened? 18:21 And what happened after the operation, 18:26 I was amazed 18:27 because it took them very short time 18:31 to operate on it 18:33 and then the anesthesiologist that was, 18:36 was to when he said that 18:38 I will just be sleeping for 30 minutes and bingo, 18:41 after 30 minutes, I was awakened. 18:44 You're awake. Yeah. 18:46 And what happened after you woke up? 18:48 After I woke up, I said, 18:52 oh, the pain it was not there yet 18:56 because I was on anesthesia. 18:58 But after a few hours, of course I feel the pain. 19:02 But I rather have that pain than the pain before 19:06 because it was really, really very painful. 19:09 So the pain was more on the wounds. 19:13 So this pain, what you're telling me 19:14 you'd had that pain 19:16 that was very severe for four years. 19:17 Yes. 19:18 And all of a sudden, it's a different pain 19:20 from the operation. 19:21 Yeah, it's a little bit different. 19:23 It's more on the wounds that I can figure it out. 19:28 It's more on the wounds. Okay. 19:30 And walk me through what happened next? 19:32 After that operation, 19:34 of course, I have to do all my job. 19:37 And then I was amazed again 19:39 because I can use now all my fingers. 19:42 I noticed you're doing that like you're typing, 19:44 is that what you do a lot? 19:45 Yes, a lot. 19:47 A lot of typing because most of our communications 19:49 are with electronics 19:52 and then I have to support my teaching 19:54 with all this software, so I have to do my hands. 19:57 So... 19:59 So, when your fingers, 20:00 when your fingers were really like this, 20:01 how did you type? What did you do? 20:03 Oh, when I was typing 20:04 before I just used these point fingers. 20:08 And, of course, my thumb too for the other one. 20:12 And these are the two fingers that were very helpful for me. 20:16 Now your hands are totally good? 20:18 Yeah. 20:19 And that's because the Canvasback team came? 20:22 Yeah. 20:23 Well, what would you like to tell other folks 20:25 maybe about the Canvasback team? 20:27 Deep in my heart, I can say that 20:30 the Marshallese people are very lucky that 20:33 that Canvasback team 20:34 is helping them in their health. 20:39 And for me, I can say 20:41 to all the people trust the doctors, 20:44 trust the team, 20:46 and they gonna help you in your health problems. 20:49 I understand that 20:51 there's a second part to the story. 20:53 Your fingers started tingling a little bit. 20:55 Okay. Yeah. 20:58 Because I am hard-headed. 21:00 You're hard-headed? Yes, I'm hard-headed. 21:03 And then and some... 21:05 And then, after that operation, I was well. 21:08 So I... 21:10 Although I did not change anything 21:13 on my lifestyle. 21:15 So, at the end of the day when I'm very tired, 21:20 so we just immediately go to restaurants, 21:23 and eat whatever is being offered, 21:25 and it is meat based. 21:27 And then I have tingling pain again on my hands. 21:32 So, when I went back again to the Philippines, 21:35 I have to see another doctor, just to say, oh, 21:39 it might be the operation that is not successful, 21:42 but it's already six months. 21:45 And then I was just 21:50 informed blatantly 21:51 I have to reduce my weight. 21:54 And so, he said, you just do 21:57 whatever was this process that you can reduce your weight 22:03 and, bingo you will feel fine. 22:07 And so, when I, after the consultation 22:10 with my doctor, I have to, I have to say to myself, 22:15 and I prayed to the Lord that I will have the willpower 22:18 not to eat red meat again, 22:20 because I know it gave me that all these sicknesses. 22:26 So I'm now on my third week without seeing any restaurant, 22:30 without eating any red meat. 22:33 And, finally, my hands are free with all those tingling pain. 22:38 Praise the Lord. Thank you. 22:40 Well, I want to thank you so much 22:42 for, you know, a great time with you. 22:45 I love your smile. Love your attitude. 22:47 Thank you, Jim.
