The process What's up money geeks mr. V here welcome to another video guys so in today's video I'm gonna show you guys step by step how I set up the webo desktop app for day trading So before we get started guys for your new to the channel we talk about how to earn money how to save money How to invest and build wealth? So if that's something that interests you go ahead and hit that subscribe button any Notification belt so you don't miss out on new content in the past I did a video showing you guys how I make two hundred and fifty dollars a day Day trading with the webo app if you haven't already checked out that video I'm gonna hook it up here so you can definitely go check it out So in today's video is is see another follow up to that video because I've gotten a lot of questions from some of you guys Asking me how my setup is and why my screen looks different from What comes what I say out of the box or what you get when you just first install the app because I've done some Customizations to it. So I want to kind of follow up with that and do this video So in doing so I'm gonna show you guys how everything is organized and lay out the flow Of my setup of my app so that when I get up in the morning, I get I get back to my get to my office I think everything is just lined up. I just start trading and I don't have to worry about it So let's jump right in so here we go guys. So once you log in to your webo desktop app I want you to go on the left side. I want you to go on the trade. So if you click on trade, it brings up Your trading window. So this is my current setup. So I'm gonna walk you guys through it Real quick. So on on the the left side here. I have my watch list. So this is my daily watch This is a stock that I watch and I'm pregnant to trade for that day And so so each time when I click on the stock it populates there are the charts here And I can actually read it and see what's going on Just just like that. So this is on the left here. This is the least I'm watching And this is what I'm going to trade and then the next tap to it is there are other entry widgets So this is where you enter your orders to buy or sell And then now I have the chart so I can usually see what's happening On in the market and then on my chart here You see that I don't have a ton of lines or everything like you see with most traders I just try to keep it as clean as possible. So I would normally have the VWAP I have the MA actually going and sometimes I'll enable the Enable the EMA so you can actually see that. So if you see this yellow line right here This is the VWAP line and you guys know my strategy. I use the VWAP To to trade so that that has to be enabled Then so then underneath here on the lower left corner here, this is where I have my level 2 data So this is where I'm actually watching what people are bidding and what people are asking for a particular stock So then underneath here, I put the position widget. So This is where if I if I'm in it will show right here on this bottom And then when I place an order or let's say a sell order a limit sell order It's going to show here like working until the when the order is filled then it shows here on the position So that this is how my setup is right now. So In how do you get to this point? I think it's basically show you so If I'm going to do a second I create a second tap here. So if you go to the This top right corner right here. It says New board and you say create new board. So it would bring up a Window that you would choose if you just want let's say Just one trading window or two trading windows It would show you so in this case I selected two but we can actually get get rid of one just so you can actually see it So basically once this comes up What do you want to do is and so again, there is there is stuff They can add so at the very end here you can do this is a widget. So If you look at hey, it says watch less you have account details. You have position. You have orders, right? So this is some of the general things you can add is if you go you can even have more We have the news. You have options. You have active trade. You know all these other stuff They can actually include Here on your screen So In my case, so let's say for you if you want to set up yours you want to copy this So I got I get the watch list over here and then so you can actually decide So mine is the daily watch so you put that here And then the next thing that I want you to do is my order entry form Which is what goes right here? So I put my order entry form right there and then so in this case I'm going to show you something real quick and this is very important guys Um So let's let's delete this one because we don't need that we don't need to order entry form So I delete that one And let's delete this one Because we don't need two of those and then my level two I'm going to bring that down here and just put it right there and then My chart information that's going to go here and I can expand it Just as big as I want it to be um and then my Working of my position. I'll put that right here And my working orders I'll put them right There and they can expand this to match and then pull it out and they can bring this down some so there you go So you have a setup like that. That's pretty easy Um, then again, like I said, uh once once you are happy with what you have Let me close this very quick.  So these are the things I enable. So if you scroll out Um, in this case again, the yellow line here is your VWAP as you can see Uh, and then your MA your so this MA here this one is five. You can actually change it to Whatever you want this 200. Um, this I've seen people most people some people use 200 some people use 50 So you do your research and see which one works best for you That you want to enable On here, but definitely make sure that you have The MA enable It's it's a good indicator. All right. So now that I have a setup like this The other question I get is why is your screen?  The light is a little bit too bright For staring at your screen for for day trading. I don't want to be staring into that bright light So I choose a darker theme. So and then you can actually choose colors like here green is up right is down Make it to your own satisfaction So that's how I get that and the other thing that I'm going to do for you guys, which is going to be a separate video Is to show you guys No, the hot keys I'm going to show you guys how I set up my hot keys I don't want to do that in this video because it's going to make it too long So I'm going to have to do that in a separate video. But once that's done Now you're ready to trade I come in the morning What I do is I look at this and I'll be Hey, now just hey, let's say I look at the stock. I'll pick it up Hey, you can just pick the stock and you're going to load in here. Okay. Notice one thing here guys And this is very important. I want you to see this clearly So if you notice here that when I selected let's say for instance if I select neil Notice that neil loaded here on these my order entry form and load it here It loaded down here, but this is still showing A this is still showing apple, right? So that that's the problem for most people Because you would have to manually come in here every time and type in and type in neil for that to load Which I don't want to do that every time. I mean, what's the purpose, right? So what I want you to do is make sure that number one You see what says the setup group It says one This should be one and this should be one. But see here. It says two and down here one one One so this guy is not in sync with all these other ones.  I'm going to expand it As big as I wanted to Um expand it out And then we can close this so set as group number. So you click on that in this case I'm going to set one So there you go Now if I go here and select let's say I select a b us Now notice that everything loads across the board from my other entry form to the chart to their Um To my level two everything loads. And so it's in sync, which it's awesome. That's what we want. So there you go Um, so and this is that concludes this video guys Um, just kind of like hey, how my setup looks and then like I said, we'll do a separate video on hotkeys and how I have all my hotkeys set to Um day trade so as you can see guys, that's the simpler way that my desktop is actually set up for day trading It's not very complicated. Um, I try to minimize any sort of crowdiness as much as possible Keep it simple so I can see is like what I'm doing and follow my strategy. So, um, again, this is my setup. It works for me Um, try it and see if it works for you if not figure out move things around If you like the flow from right to left set your stuff so that flows from right to left If you want it from top to bottom set your set your flow so it flows from top to bottom So if you want it from bottom to top do do it do whatever works for you try it The most important thing is to try it figure out work. It's comfortable for you Before you jump right in and again, this is you Setting up an environment where you're going to work to make money for yourself So make sure that you just want to set the most comfortable and most efficient environment That would work for you. So that is my approach So question of the day guys, what do you guys think about my layout? Do you think it's too crowded or you think it's something that you want to emulate? Let me know in the comment section again guys if you're new Here we talk about how to earn money how to save money how to invest and build wealth So if that's something that interests you go ahead and hit the subscribe button And the notification bell and youtube tells me that 90 of you guys watching having already subscribed to the Channel so hitting that subscribe button and the notification bell definitely tells youtube that you guys Know enjoy the video and you help might be a garden So definitely go ahead and do that for me. And as always guys Stay motivated


I don't know if people know Aragon and have used it before, so I thought I'd do a live demo of what it looks like today. So in the next 20 minutes, we're going to claim your DO name on Aragon mainnet. You can actually do this yourself, you can follow and just pick your own name if you want. I'm going to do one for something called Loricit, which is something I'm going to give you guys a sneak peek about. This is, I guess, like a component toolkit and a design system that we've been working on for Aragon specifically, but we are open sourcing it more broadly and want other people to be able to use it as well. So really briefly, I just wanted to introduce myself and my collaborator and friend, Pierre. So my name is Jonu, and we've been working on a couple of different open source projects over the last few years. So we've worked on Ubuntu, Ubuntu Phone Mobile for about four years, and then recent redesign for Riot Matrix, and most recently, I guess, last year, so we've been working very hard on Aragon, trying to make organizations on blockchain be very easy to use. So yeah, let's get into it. Let's claim your DO name. So if you want to try and follow it, you can do this yourself. It takes about two minutes. You'll get to issue your own token. You get to claim your name, so it's pretty cool. Let's go to the website. So for those of you who haven't seen or heard from Aragon before, Aragon is kind of a platform for a DAO, so it's very, very, very extensible, very broad. You can do a lot of things with it, but in this instance, I'm going to create a DO for managing Loricat, which is the design system. So in the future, we might want to be able to vote on different choices that the participants in the open source project want to go ahead with, so I think a DAO would be a great setup for that. So I'm going to do this on Mainnet, because we are live on Mainnet as of this week, after quite a lot of hard work, and I'm going to create a new organization. So you can open existing ones. If you're just trying this out, maybe try the demo first to see how the app looks like, but I'm going to create a new one. So we'll create a new org, and for this one, we want to have a democracy token project. We have a lot of people, potentially, on this project who want to decide on things, and we're going to call it Loricat, which is great. Nobody has squatted it. Next. I'm going to just kind of breeze through. This is kind of the settings for your voting that I'll just use the defaults for now, but you can change this, and I'll call it, so when you're creating a DAO with Oregon today, you also get a token, ERC20 token, so I'm going to create what could we call it, let's call it Loricoin, and give it a ticker. And then, yeah, you just confirm the transactions and get a cup of coffee, I guess, and then you've got your DAO ready. So to save some time, I'm just going to jump into a demo org to show you guys what happens next, what you get when you finish with the transactions, and it looks like something like this. So this is basically the Oregon main UI. So what you've got here on the left is a list of apps you have in your organization. So by default, you get apps like token managers, manager tokens to add people to your organization voting. You can vote in various things. You can just do random votes on anything you want, or you can do voting relating to finance if you want to make any kind of transactions from your DAO to have to pass through voting first before they accept it, then that's a good use case. Actually, I'll show you really quickly how this works. So in this demo DAO, we have two token holders. You can just add more people by just adding their, adding their Ethereum address, and hopefully NS name pretty soon. Big funds of the NS. Voting looks like this, so, yeah, you'll see what the current votes are, what's been rejected, what's been approved. You can view the details of that vote. If there's an open vote, I don't think there's any on this demo DAO that you can, you can vote on it if you hold tokens in the organization. In the finance app, you hold different tokens on your organization, so you can do various things with it. You can pay for things, you know, normal stuff, but all this stuff can be linked to the voting app. So whenever you want to make decisions, you can make sure that token holders approve those first. So, yeah, make a new transfer, so I can make a deposit. So if I wanted to deposit some Ether into this org, I could just do it through here. I can also send Ether directly, but for different tokens, it's better to do it through the app. And you can, if you want to withdraw, let's say I wanted to pay for, I don't know, two lights to ZUG, I just put in the, maybe there's an airline that accepts Ether, I just put the contract address here and then click this. And depending how you got your permission set up, it either goes through a vote or if your account has the permissions to do these things directly, then you can also do that. We have an app store that's coming up, which is going to be really cool, so people can create their own Aragon apps. These are just some examples for now, but hoping to have a lot of, and it's really quick to create this app as well, so hoping to have a lot more in the future. So yeah, that's kind of a sneak peek of Aragon 0.6, Alba. And yeah, try it out, it's very quick to use, very easy on Mainnet, so you can do real things now, which is cool. So the next thing I wanted to show you guys, wrong presentation, is Lurikid. So Lurikid is something we've been thinking about for a long time, I guess this started off as just kind of an extension of, we built something for ourselves, we thought it would be really cool if we could just expand this thing to something that anybody can go with, people can contribute it, and basically it will just enable you to create production ready, beautiful apps much quicker, because you have these good baseline components. And really you can use these for throwaway prototypes if you want, but these are, we're using all the components on Aragon itself, so these are production ready, so it's not really something that you have to worry about, like, is it just good for a prototype and have to redo the whole thing once I go to production, you can actually use these in production, we do. We've been working on these components for probably about a year now, quite a lot of pull requests, mostly thanks to PR over there, and we have 11 contributors now, but we're really hoping to get more people building stuff on top of this, and just kind of benefiting from the work we've already done, and being part of the community. So this is a sneak peek, there is a website coming pretty soon, but just to give you more of an idea of what you're hoping to achieve with this. So first and foremost, and I guess this is where we are kind of right now on the project, is we have a very modular component library of React components, we also have some specific UX patterns and components to decentralize web, a lot of these components are pretty generic like you'd imagine with a kind of React UI toolkit to find like buttons and cards and so on, but we also have some specific components to blockchain, which I'm going to show you guys a few of those in a minute. These components are pretty performant, so we've done a lot of optimization for this, so especially on mobile you'll see the difference, this should really feel like native components. And then animations is one thing that doesn't get used by a lot of projects, because maybe it's a bit daunting or people don't really know what library to use or what to do, so we're hoping to help with that as well. We have some preset motion design done here, and we're going to have a lot more kind of user guidance on that. It's easily extendable, so you can build your own, like if you don't find the component you need, you can just build your own and add it to and hopefully submit a pull request for us to set it in. And we've tried to go for a kind of a clean UI design, which you can use for your nap without every app looking like arrogant, basically. You can also theme these things pretty easily, so if you want to do something that looks very different, that's totally doable as well. And yeah, I want to highlight the fact that we really want to do this as a community efforts, because yeah, the whole ecosystem will benefit if we have good kind of baseline components, and we're hoping you're going to build your own, and it's not just for developers, really. I'd love to see more designers getting involved, so we're actually going to submit a bunch of bounties, both for Dev and design pretty soon, so if there's any designers in the room as well who want to find this interesting and want to find them more and maybe work with us on this bundle, come and talk to me after the talk, and I'll add you guys to the bundle list and product people as well, anybody basically who's interested in working on good experiences. So a couple more things about the React component specifics. So I think I've gone through most of these already, but just to reiterate, these used-styled components, which is we're styling a theme in React components, and they're very themeable, so you can really go to town on changing the look, if you like. We're targeting 60 frames per second native feel and performance, so really want to optimize how well the stuff performs. We have the documentation section coming on the website, so you'll see API docs to basically all these components. You'll also have guidance on principles for designing for decentralized systems, dealing with latency, if I'm using all that kind of stuff. I'm going to show you a quick sneak peek of the Dev docs. We've got it on ua.argon.org for now, but it will be very soon moved to the lower-key site, so just wanted to give you a quick look into what the documentation looks like. So you've got code examples here, how you use it. You have, like, always when you have a code example, we'll have the rendered React component, so you can mess around with it, just see how it performs. You can scale it, you can see how most of these components, I think actually all of them are responsive now, so I'll show you in a little bit and demo on mobile, but yeah, you can just see how everything works. So yeah, we're really hoping to make this documentation really thorough, so people can really easily start using this, and yeah, you'll see you can pick, like, oh, I like this control, this I use it, and just go straight away. So yeah, you'll see that there's a bunch of the basic controls I already built, we'll probably need some more, so hands up on this, and if you have your own ideas, yeah, please go in touch with, go to GitHub, do a pull request if you build anything, or just file an issue, we'll start from there. Cool. So I want to talk a little bit more about mobile. I think mobile is super important, like I was really curious to find, like Beltran mentioned in the talk yesterday, that everyone kind of knows in the back of their mind that, yeah, actually, most of our users probably are using mobile as well, but maybe haven't built for it yet, so I think this is nice for you guys as well. If you use the lower kit, you get mobile straight out of the box, because these components are responsive and really well optimized for more performance. I'll just show a quick demo of what that looks like. So this is our voting app, and you can see the desktop version, where you have each vote as a card, and we just stack them, and you'll see how it just, yeah, we spend a lot of time trying to think what's the best use experience for mobile as well, going from a widescreen to a smaller screen, just making sure that you can use all of this stuff for mobile too. And I think mobile is going to be really important for blockchain in general. I think we need better mobile voice and et cetera, but I think we're trying to do our part, so focusing on the components, making sure that they're really usable and mobile too, and layouts. So I want to talk a little bit about design guidelines and what we're hoping to achieve here. So actually, yeah, we're hoping to, we saw the talk yesterday, which was really great. We're hoping to collaborate with more projects that are working on this type of guidelines to just have a better documentation of what best practices are for designing, designing in general, and then also designing for Ethereum or decentralized systems. So we'll have things like do's and don'ts on the website of what you should do, what you shouldn't do. I think material design guidelines are amazing. So I think to have something like that, but more focused towards decentralized use cases. And yeah, obviously, templates and tools as well, I think is super important for designers who are jumping into the space to be able to go in and download source files for these things and start messing around. And I think it just opens up so much more for contribution. So we have components built in designer sketch right now, but we have started putting some of these over to Figma and Frameworks for interactive versions of these. So this is one area we'd be super keen on any designers in the crowd who are watching this, if you'd like to kind of get involved in putting this stuff over to Figma or Frameworks, get in touch. So yeah, a couple of examples of the more blockchain specific components. One big thing, obviously, is dealing with latency because the transactions take a very long time to mine right now. Even, I think, a year or two from now, they still take a while to mine. So we need to somehow make sure that users are aware of what's going on. They can anticipate how long it's going to take so they can do something else in the meanwhile, or they're not blocked on just waiting for things or wondering what just happened and where did this thing go. I'll just show you a quick example. This is our finance app. So just skipping through a couple of bits of signing it with me, Damascus stuff. But when you submit the transfer, for instance, we think it'd be really nice to just show kind of an optimistic US state straight away of, OK, we know it's not signed yet, but we still want to show you where you are right now. So kind of show a pending state of, right, your transactions in mind right now. You can roughly see how long it'll take. We'll get from the gas price you sent. We'll be able to estimate a rough time. You can, we'll just save you time. Like, you don't have to try and scramble around for the contract rate, so you can just see it straightly in the scanner as well, if you like. And then once it's mined, and we'll just add it to the page, and yeah, it'll just update straight away. So trying to keep users in the dark and just keep them informed of progress all the time so that they don't have to kind of switch around different apps, wonder what just happened and where we are, basically. And similarly to that, we just think there's a lot of things we could do for helping users feel more secure and more informed. So for instance, things like toasts that we could use for quick confirmations and notifications for more on-chain activity. So I'll show you an example of the toast component that we're just building right now. When you have quick interactions, you usually want to confirm to the user that, OK, what you just did has actually something's happened with it. So this is probably more, we could use this for on-chain stuff as well, but I think anything where you just need quick confirmation of, OK, we got it. Then we have something, I'll show you a quick video of our transactions or notifications panel. So all the on-chain activity would go to kind of a place where you can always see, this is stuff I've been interacting with on-chain. I can see in one place, it'll notify me if the states of the transaction changes when they get mined, when they fail. So we have different states for failure, for instance. So it's very clear that you can always go to one place and just see what's been going on with your on-chain transactions. Another thing we've been working on, I haven't done too much work on it, but I think it's worth plugging. I think it's really cool. It's more a developer thing, but human-readable transactions. So right now, I'll show you what that looks like. You're probably familiar with this kind of scenario where you have your MetaMask message, and it just doesn't make sense. So we proposed this new thing called RUDspec, where you can basically make the transactions human-readable. And we're working with MetaMask right now, I think, to get this implemented there. So right now this works in Oregon, where you can basically tell the users where they are with. So what the actions they are going to do are going to do in plain English. I think this is really going to help. Another thing for decentralized components is Ethereum addresses, the kind of these really long, ugly strings right now. So we built this address-budget component where you have a clickable thing where we can show the whole address, we can show a small version of it, especially mobile. You'll see the identifier, the blocky, and then you'll just be able to click on it and copy this directly, which is a very common use case. We just thought we'd save you a couple of clicks there, see on the other side. Same with ENS names and so on. So yeah, another kind of blockchain-specific component. Motion. We use this library called React Spring a lot. So I'm running out of time, but basically, motion, I think, is a really important thing of the user experience. People don't use enough, so we're hoping to help you with this. It should be quick and should be used for helping you focus tensions on things, not just for flash. But yeah, I've got a quick video of what this could look like, for instance. For transitions, I think it really helps to show the user where things are coming from, where you should focus on your gaze and so on. Yeah, I think we're almost getting to the end. So when can I use this? We're hoping for an early Christmas. So late November-ish, I think, depending on how busy it is. But yeah, it's nearly done. Most of the components are ready to go. We just need to work a bit more on the website. And we're good. So yeah, last plug. If you're interested in Aragon or governance on the blockchain, you should come to Berlin in January. We have this amazing conference there called Aragon. You can go to aragon.one to find out more. And that's it. Thank you very much.


It's always a little bit of a tricky thing because student buy-in is really sort of important. You have to get them on board with this from the get-go. So I always spend a little time the very first day explaining that this is not like other math classes they've taken that they're the mathematicians doing the work in this class. They're making the discoveries. I try and really kind of build the ownership in, you know, they're taking charge, they're going to discover the stuff and that's a really cool thing. And I emphasize that we're all, everybody's going to make mistakes, that I make mistakes. In my research I make mistakes when I'm teaching on the board. Everybody makes mistakes and that's okay, that's expected. But we're going to be supportive of one another and when we do have suggestions or comments about proofs they're going to be done in a positive way, in a supportive way. And usually pretty quickly they kind of get the hang of how it goes. I actually start the first week working on the very first day so that they start talking to each other right away and, you know, if they don't know each other already they introduce themselves, get to know each other, start working and sort of seeing how it goes. And I find that especially with the proof presentations people are really polite with each other usually. I mean it's usually like, well, I know, you know, they'll say things like, well I totally get what you meant and I know that's right but the way you wrote that didn't quite seem, yeah I think if you just changed this one thing then what you really meant to say would be clearer. Like they give people the benefit of the doubt all the time, which is really fun. And they always clap. It's so funny, I usually have them clap after a proof has been presented but lately they do it themselves before I even suggest that they should do it.

So before you get there, it's a whole thing. And along with us in the studio is MD Wambugu who is from Skillfix to actually take us to the Jani Karebusana. Thank you so much. Good morning and nice to meet you. Good morning. It's good to have you. Karebusana. So we're going to start off by just a little background of how you got into Skillfix and how you've done mentorship and you continue to train people. Not only just in the job sector, but in many other facets as well. So just a little background of yourself. How did you get there? Okay. Yeah, thank you so much once again. It's wonderful to be here and be able to interact on this quite pertinent topic of professional development. So my name is Wambugu. I'm the CEO for Skillfix International. I have quite a long history in the job market. I've had an experience of around 12 years in the job market. When I got to a point where I felt now it's time to run my show and I felt there was quite a huge gap in the job market. And one of the gap was matters to do with leadership where I feel we have so many managers in many companies but then very few of them are actually leaders. Probably that's a topic for another day. Leadership. Yes, yes. So one of the things we do in Skillfix is actually corporate training on matters leadership, transformational leadership. The other thing that we do in Skillfix is professional development which now carries all these things that we are talking about today. Matters to do with the interview coaching, CV writing, career development and how you as a professional once you get the job how do you grow from one level to the other. It's probably, I would say it's how to climb the career ladder. So we also do soft skill training because most people who end up getting the jobs you find to maintain that job or to retain that job you actually need to have some skills. Things like communication skills. If you're not good with communicating with other people in the workplace then chances are you may not retain that job for a long time. So those are some of the things we do and so far we've actually seen quite an improvement in a number of people that we've actually interacted with and the feedback we get even on social media you'd be able to see it's quite a good thing that we are doing to help the youths out there to be able to grow in their career. Absolutely. And what did you study?  First of all, you have titles in there.  You also do training.  So you do go to school, do you have a master's degree or something? So initially I did the nursing. I'm actually a trained nurse and I actually even practiced for two years in Nairobi Hospital. Right. But then from there I had an interest on what happens in the insurance industry because you realize the healthcare and insurance industry they're actually symbiotic. One can't do without the other. So getting an experience of both areas would now make me a competent person working in either insurance or healthcare. And so after some time working in Nairobi Hospital I joined the insurance industry. That is jubili insurance. But then one of the challenges I got and that's why I said that these trainings they actually really help is you'd find when you go for a meeting because you see now jubili is a business as opposed to Nairobi Hospital which was a hospital. So this one you're dealing more with the matters to do with business.  So that led me now to go back to school and do my degree in business management specializing in entrepreneurship. From there I did my masters in business management still specializing in strategic management. And then soon I'm planning to enroll for my PhD. And so all these courses and especially to do with business management they also play a very vital role when it comes to managing my skill fix business. Absolutely. Did you see maybe like a gump in the market in Nish since you had mentioned you have over 10 years experience in the employment sector you've worked with several companies as well. Did you see the need to ensure that you train young upcoming professionals or did you come from a place of inspiration as well like the other reason I've given you? Nish or inspiration? No. See what happened? For example for the various companies that I've worked in most of these companies have been involved in interviewing and so I had an opportunity to have a look at a number of CVs as I should at least know who do we call for an interview who do we live out and all that. And so in that process of looking into these CVs that's where you realize guys really need a lot of training because you look at a CV and you realize this CV probably must have been written when this person cleared high school. You know those CVs that we do immediately after college and they were like I just need something to show what I'm doing. Like a sketch. Just a sketch. Right. And so you find someone for so many years they've been using the same CV it's not updated to really represent who you are currently as a professional and one of the things we do besides just writing the CV is also taking you through on how to present yourself as a professional on that document. Right. And why I'm saying this is because remember the CV is the first document that gives an impression of who you are. So as we talk about the job seeking journey we start with the CV and so this document there's a lot of things that people tend to overlook. Right. But in real sense they are very important. Yeah. So that gave me now an epiphany where I was like this is actually a gap which we can close Right. And considering the employment rate in Kenya. In the country. Then we felt this is something that would really help the young people out there. Right. And maybe just to add you know the job market is like a funnel. So there's a wider opening on the top and the narrow one. Okay. So we have so many people looking for jobs. Right. But only a few of them will be able to succeed. So what we do is we sell that confidence whereby you're able to amongst the many who are there at least you have higher chances of being among those who will be selected. Right. And when we talk about training why the name skill fix I think there's a mist during introduction. Yeah. Almost sounds like Netflix. Yeah, skill fix. Yeah, I mean we get all kinds of names. Right. We can say skill flux. Yeah. There's even one called Skillshare. Skillshare for content creation. Yeah. So the inspiration was from our goal is to fix the skills. Right. I mean if you are invited for an interview even without training there is already that which there's something that you you already know about interview. So you already have the skill. Right. So we are here to help you fix that skill just to make it a little bit better. Once you have the training you have the degree Yes. you need to compose yourself professionally. Exactly. So we are fixing your skills. So from fixing skills then we get the name skill fix. Skill fix. And then international is probably speaking to our vision because our vision is to be known worldwide. Right. Yeah. Wow. Because I'm looking at it from a point of there's so many young people out here who finish actually annually universities channel over over 5,000 graduands every year. True. And all of them have a vision and a dream of getting into some sort of company getting this job but then they just don't know how to calibrate themselves to a place they can position themselves professionally until they are liked by this company and selected. I don't know if the HR is allowed to like someone CV or we liked it professionally so that's why we selected you I don't know perhaps you can also share on that like a person's personality and then they say hey, we saw some one, two, three things we loved it and then that's why you're here is it possible Zo? Now maybe let me say it's nothing is impossible nothing is impossible but the bottom line is not I would say the bottom line is the content yeah and there are two ways we're looking into a CV these companies that have the human resource looking into the CV and there are companies that use systems or other bots that are called applicant tracking system but this is basically for the huge corporations that they don't have time to go through all the CVs where you find like one job has over a thousand applicants so the recruiter may not have time to sit down with all those CVs and look at them so you find they go through a system and now to see who has the skills that you need and I'll be talking that probably in a few so for those who are looking at this document physically like a human resource officer sitting down with the document then what matters the most is is basically the content of the CV for example number one the organization of the document so you find there are things that people have it's not organized so you find there's a job that comes after the other yet they don't follow each other the mix up of where you worked and all that you find the skills don't match what they are looking for and that's why writing a CV also requires that you optimize that document and the keywords so for example specific words that should be resume so for example I'll give you an example if you're applying you need to showcase that the skills you have are skills to do with people management skills to do with the data analysis things that speak to this person who is looking at your document to see that yes this is the person I am I am looking for and that's why it is actually not advisable for you to use the same CV to apply for all the jobs that you you come across and then you find there's also the presentation of your JD what were your roles in the company that you were working in exactly so you find people don't really bring it out in a way that would make this other person understand what was your duty in the other places that you worked in so if there's that ambiguity of information in a CV definitely me as an employer I'll be like now this one let me keep it aside because it's not giving me what I need and then you find people tend to put information that is not necessary in the CV for example there's this first section where people put the biographical data which is not necessary why should you put your ID number there you put your marito status you put your ethnic or whatever religion those are things that would actually make you be disqualified they come they can I've seen I've been someone at an audition and somebody had to do their name their ID number their father so many things exactly so what happens what happens is it is not right for someone to be bioted about such information is it because it's too personal I'm just unnecessary but human are human for example if you put for me your date of birth I'm looking for someone who is 24 years and below to employ you see now that doesn't give you an opportunity to come for the interview and present yourself I'll disqualify you before you even stepping and then we have people who are biased by nature let's say you and you can't tell so this person will look at the CV and see this one comes from this particular tribe we've had an experience with that tribe before so let's just kick the CV out so we should say put information because you see CV is a professional document put information that presents you as a professional so what are these information your contact your email address your your postal address your name those are enough then from there now get into the professional summary present yourself as a professional and going downwards now professional staff is that like a tagline maybe that's there's a place where it's called like a profile like so and so and I'm seeking employment in blah blah blah is it necessary to also have such a tagline on your CV not really not really basically what I say if I was to take you through the format of a CV at the top have a very nice name in bold and you know a good font that shows this is my name Daniel Wambugo then your personal details that is your mobile number your email and postal address once you do that then come to the professional background so I usually see most CVs have I don't know career objective I mean objective that is you as you don't have to tell me you don't have to write to that what I need to know is who are you as a professional so when you get to the next section now the professional summary that's where now you indicate who are you as a professional so I would say for example if it was me I would say I'm a healthcare stroke insurance expert for the last 12 years I've worked in these companies I've gained these skills this is the difference I know I would bring to the industry that presents you as a professional then from professional summary you go to maybe skills skills now you speak of skills that actually communicate to the employer and now these ones you look even into the JD so what I do for example I would go into a JD look at what is a job description and what they are looking for and then I figure out which skills from that JD do I have and those are the skills that now you put into into the CV and then from there now you go to working history starting with the most recent going down ones to the oldest oh you start with the recent employer yes you start with the recent employer and then you go down out to the one that you started with then you go to education and education you actually don't even have to indicate your grades unless you're a graduate right but if you're so experienced in the industry like you I can only imagine your CV exactly because you said you have you have masters you've studied in several institutions now you have to include I got accredited I got a B plus in a high school that's not necessary you just indicate the school that you went into the certificate you got and which year right because you see right now it's a must to write the year yes the year you graduated it's good to mention so that at least we are able to see you know the flow of your education and employment and all that yeah that that chronology of like yes exactly because you can lie you can say in 2012 I was in 2012 you were in primary school true and then once you're done with the education right then you can go down to maybe other experiences I mean other technical trainings that you've had the short courses you can go to hobbies although hobbies not really necessary especially when you're experienced but when you're new in the job market then you can put the hobbies yeah and then referees there's another tricky part referees should you can indicate available upon request it's not necessary for you to write referees yeah but when the advert specifically says yeah that you have to indicate referees at least indicate three then you have to indicate with a daytime number and email yes so the reason why we say it's not necessary or mandatory for you to really indicate the referees is because you also don't want to leak out the number of the people that you you've indicated as your referees because you can imagine if for example I wrote you as my referee and every CV I send out there has your name, your number your email all those things and maybe I frame us out here and you're a famous person for example or you're even a senior person in a company and this is I'm talking of something I've actually experienced someone writing me as a referee and then I start getting people calling me adding me on WhatsApp groups asking, soliciting for money and those are things you want to protect your referees from so you apply for 20 jobs which you don't get shortlisted and then that means those are 20 people or even more with your number your number you see and with the referees exactly so that's why we say you can actually indicate available upon request because what happens is after the interview the employer will always reach out to you and tell you please share with us and why they do that I've also done that at some point is because most referees that people indicate on that document are people who they've not even interacted with for the last 5 years or they've never seen or met exactly so you find even if I called them without consulting you whether they are current some of them will be like I don't remember this person you know I think I met them close to 10 years ago so I don't even have a clue maybe this person became a thief and you don't know or they've never even worked they're not even in this profession exactly so it's you can indicate available upon request and then once the employer reaches out to you then they would be able to you would be able to provide the most current referees now those are people who you've interacted with recently people you're working with maybe in the current employment that you're in and all that so basically just to interrupt is it also professional to allot them there's a time I applied for something international and they said you must list the email the functional email in a functional contact because they were to contact that referee to just ask them about you is it to Sakwa was worked here as blah blah blah blah so what if what if you don't want that kind of transaction but out here you are on the extreme end yeah sorry come up again without question I didn't quite get it they want you to list a valid email and a contact of your referee and contact them without even you knowing what they will talk about so how do you protect yourself from such maybe they'll ask things that maybe they're supposed to be confidential they'll be like how was he behaving how was she how was her her worker grading et cetera et cetera like why is that because this job this was like I think it was a U.S. job yeah and a rating some sort of international rating so what are you sure advice about that is you know communication is key right for example if you ask me to share with you three referees one it is not advisable to just share someone who you've not alerted that I'm actually indicating you as a referee so at least inform the other person that this job I've applied this position it is in this company they might contact you asking you about who I am and for me I advocate for honesty because you can lie but people I know people reach out to referees and they actually coach them when they call you I want you to answer like this and tell them this is who I am so that I get the job so I get the job but I advocate for honesty and I usually say as you also look for a referee you know you're the one in need and you're looking for a job please look for someone who you know can share a good report about you because you know you may be my boss and then let's say we you know human is to error and probably we had a bit of a rango so chances are if I write you as a referee and you will be called without my being aware maybe it's in another company that's competitive exactly so the thing is this person might actually put in the wrong word about you so that's why I say at least get someone who you're in constant communication someone who you know can give a good report about you and someone who is available and someone who knows you as well I do not advocate for lying because at the end of the day once you get the job you may lie all your way into a particular job but remember the employer will also do a background check on you and background check may be may not even be through your referee they may even go to your social media handles and figure out who are you outside employment and so that may also affect you somehow and that's a good facet because we live in a world where infact at some point we will ask to share how many followers do you have on digital in total that actually gives the employer an upper hand to see like what is your personality online your digital footprints what do you post the things you share on Twitter so they are already speaking on your behalf professional even the kind of photos and the post chest how do you it can also determine I was shocked somebody was fired from a job just the way they posted but it was really petty bro that was petty a photo seriously when we talk about professionalism it's a whole different story and we are looking at values and values that define who you are and so social media has become so strong nowadays in that a company reputation may actually be affected by you as an individual and what you do out there I'll give you an example of a company I worked in I won't mention which one one of the staff actually went to a club to drink he was so drunk and drink all those dramas wearing a tisha that belonged to the company so you see now that already when people take the picture they will not see the guy they will see the tisha they are like oh guys from this particular company this is how they behave and you may end up losing clients and I'll give you another example when you open Facebook and this is why I say young people need to be very careful even as you use social media be very careful things you post there because they might actually affect your career in the future and without knowing you may think I'm just enjoying today but this may come to bite you later so for example when you login into Facebook and that section where you're supposed to type or to update there's usually some blood statement there that says what's in your mind what's in your mind so the moment you post and you type weird things in there basically you're telling us this is what is in your mind so if you're posting things that are educative and you're telling us you've got content in your mind and that's what we are looking as an employer we need someone who can perform we need someone who is informed sometimes they go to that extent of even looking at your social media calling your referees calling your former employer even the HR I've seen some who even contact your former university because you see now people are also forging certificates so they go to that extent they just go to NEC and they are verifying website exactly that was just an example but they are quite a number of organizations that do that and quite a number of ways they can verify whether your documents are actually legit and maybe you can take us through at skill fix how do you walk through someone to appoint they are now professionally accepted in the market for anyone who is watching and they want to plug in at skill fix where you do all this what is the journey that you take them through until they are ready for a job ok so basically our target market is graduates and young professionals who are looking to grow in their career or anyone who is looking forward to changing their career and then when we come to corporate training it's for all managers and leaders in any organization in the industry because transformational leadership cuts across the entire all industries that is so for someone who is looking for a job we begin with CV writing so what we do is we would ask for your current CV where we have a look at it and see whether it fits the standard that is acceptable and whether it's well organized it has all the sections in a nutshell we look at the CV whether it presents you as a professional you are and now once we look at the CV and we realize it needs some work up then we would now work on the document after working on the document then we would add you into our subgroup we have our subgroup currently it has around around 400 people and due to the fact that we have people from various industries and various companies I get to have a lot of job opportunities from I would say across the nation so like in a day I would get across 20 job opportunities that have been posted in various places so then I would post these jobs into that was a group and so any person who we do a CV for then we usually send them a link so that if you're willing you can join the group and if I post any job and these jobs are from junior positions to even the senior most positions and so if you find a job that you feel you're interested then you would apply and we would guide you into this is what you need to do we need to maybe customize your CV so that it fits the job looking at the skills which they are looking for and we also do an analysis of yourself to identify whether are you comfortable with these skills because I also don't want to do a CV and then it ends up we lied in the CV that you are good in data analysis and then you go to the job you're given a spreadsheet to work on and you have no clue what is going on so we also vet you to understand what are the skills that you have and do they match with the JD which is here and then we customize your CV now so once you apply for the job and we do all that and you are called for an interview then you would come and if you want that is we take you through an interview coaching session most of them we actually do them virtually but if someone wants physical we can always organize and have it done so we take you through an interview coaching session and interview coaching session is basically talking of the basics for example when you go for an interview I always tell people invest in a suit something nice you don't appear for an interview with a t-shirt and some sports so have some professional sweatpants exactly so at least have something presentable that you know will command respect even in the room they say you are addressed the way you are addressed yes so you find when you dress well it even gives you confidence somehow confidence just comes because you are feeling you feel good when you dress well you feel good and you are confident exactly then we have things like at least get there before time because I have had situations where the candidate comes so late and you see the moment you come late one you will come sweating two you will not feel good about yourself now because your mind is like a half point plane why I came late and so eventually everything evaporates we are talking of things like even searching the company background check on the company exactly so you need to understand what are some of their values they can speak to them they can feel this is one of us it's only that he or she is not yet in our company why is it important to do that because one of the guests here we spoke to she said she spoke to my co-host sometimes you are entering in this organization thinking you are going to make money but not you are not going to make money so it's good to ask the mozita toxic environment who are the bosses and how do they relate if it's toxic ask former employees who are there they will tell you the truth because they have nothing to lose so if for example you want to come to work at Y you do a background check you run for your life very fast I don't know is it cool to do that yes there are two reasons to do background check one of the reasons remember an interview is not only for the employer to know you it's also an opportunity for you to know the employer so you're both making decisions you can interview me and after I listen to what your company is all about I decide I'm not working for you even if I'm successful so it's a two way you're here to know about me as a candidate and as a candidate I'm here to know about you so the two reasons why you do a background check one of them is because you want to understand the company and what they stand for what are their values you don't want to go to a company where you know they are malishias how do you know they are malishias that's an example is that the toxic walk environment because you know I've heard so many stories around toxic walk environment we all kwanase maivi they treat people like this but still people manage to apply and stay and there's even somebody who is saying that you know your mental health is worth more than a job and I'm like you need the money go for it, survive so the reason before I forget like I said the employer wants to know who you are so by studying the company background from their website and I'm talking of basically their mission so that you can see whether you'll be able to align yourself are you able to contribute to their vision because you also don't want to join a job which you don't like so you're just studying the background so that as you interact with the recruiter you're able to present yourself as somebody who agrees with your mission their vision and you actually have the values at heart of that company but on this other side you're also doing a background check so that you know now this is for you whether this is a place where I would want to work for example like you said if you inquire from former employees it has its own pros and cons and for example cons is someone may have a bad perception about a company but it's because they had an issue with it not that the company is bad so even as you do this background from other people you also need to have a space where you make judgment by yourself on how the company is I've seen people even do ghost visits ghost visits like in these guys yourself it's ghost visits because I don't know whether that's the correct term these guys in yourself exactly you go as a client and you just want to go and see how is everything here the work culture how do they respond to people exactly how do they talk to each other you work in there you sacrifice a few coins so you go and pay for a service see how everything is interact with people experience what you're about to get yourself into exactly basically once we take you now through the interview coaching you would then go for the interview and then at that point now it's up to you because we've already trained you so it's you now to showcase who you are as a professional to the interviewer now if you're successful then from there we come to another section we are now professional development we are now this is a consultation kind of a service where we now take you through and tell you now from here you charge for that yes we charge even for the CV writing all our consultation is 1000 shillings that is just for calling and say hi I'm Sangkwa and I want to get some 2-3 insights then we take you through everything it's usually based on years of experience so for graduates it's 1000 then it goes scaling up but the maximum is usually 10 years and above is usually a constant figure of 3000 in between it's affordable so we would take you through professional development where we say now you've gotten the job how do you grow from being junior staff to a CEO for me in my 10 years of experience I grew from a junior person to actually managing an entire hospital and there are still a new 10 years which it has reminded me there's this book called the leader who had no title he's I think a New York bestselling author Robin Chama he's also the author of a book called The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari and in that book he talks about he mentions of 10,000 hours that equals to 10 years that is a decade for you to become a master at the scale that you do so it's 10 years to do what you've done and now you're a master at it it really speaks on itself so we usually say there are some tactics and I would want to give my own story please do which inspired me even to guide other young people on how to scale from one level to the other please do number one is you need to grow professionally so you find someone has done a degree in marketing for example and then over a period of 10 years this person has done has not done any other short course so you find they are only looking for a job with their marketing degree that they did 10 years ago now that won't make you competitive so you need to have maybe give yourself like every year you have a course or two that you do and we have so many other companies out here which are offering online courses and they are very cheap even as cheap as 2000 so that at least you're growing professionally and that's one of the things that most employers will look at are you this person who is always advancing education wise and remaining current with the trends of your particular domain that is marketing for example so that's one of the things the other thing is networking get to interact with the high people up there for example for me every other time I met someone who is senior to me be it a CEO, be it a VP, be it an MD I would always ask how did you get to where you are I would storm to their offices and tell them how did you get to where you are at the moment and they would tell me I did business management I did this particular short course I did 1-3 and that kind of guides you into knowing what to do and one of the things that most graduates fail or forget to do just to mention is have a vision even as an employee the company's vision but you need to have a vision yourself so you need to ask yourself as an employee where do I want to see myself in the next 10 years so come up with a title and so you would say something like I want to be a general manager in the next 10 years now you've already identified your vision as being a general manager now what you do is go to the internet and google adverts for general manager job adverts usually they give you the JD they give you the requirements now concentrate on the two the JD and the requirements so that will guide you to know for you to be a general manager you need these and these these are the tasks you will be involved in on a daily basis these are the skills you need now write all of them down you can google like 5 or 10 JDs so write them down these are the skills you need this is the training you need these are the tasks you will be engaging in as a GM now in those 10 years that you've targeted yourself in this period that you've targeted yourself make sure now you achieve all those things that you indicated so if it is cool go back to school and do that skill it's possible you can have a degree like in broadcast I have a degree in some others as well so it's possible it's okay for me to upgrade and maybe do another maybe a different course that may be still relevant to what I've studied as I get the feedback on social media we had asked you a good question especially when it comes to do business you can always say it's free no, none of it is free so there's somebody who says that is Dennis Kiala and he says I will give you the money I will give you 40k I will give you the money you guys started with violence and then there's Anto Laxmuri Iman James thanks for that I will give you the money and I will give you the money and you can launch it okay, okay, okay but thanks for that this is Rasta Gelan good morning to you and I think that is Kuryo Mukura kohatiya Muranga well represented to you and then last one is JJ Ozengo and I say mama Mombasani hello hello I say mama Mombasani Karebusana continue watching as we finalize we got like 2 minutes to go for anyone who has been watching this conversation and they want to be a part of Skelfligs I don't know is their website is that link and maybe are there like maybe future packages that you guys will be offering and expanding the organization also I don't know did you say where the offices are located it's all online since it's all digital currently we are operating digitally we used to have an office but then due to some covid issues we decided to go online first but then very soon we will be having an office where people can actually visit we have a very strong online presence if you go to all our social media platforms that is Instagram, LinkedIn Facebook our handle is the same Skelfligs International our number is very simple to grasp it's 0700 2.1 2.1 so 0700 2.1 2.1 we actually have a website that is www.skelfligs.co.ke but at the moment it's under some restructuring cause we want to make it kind of there's some things we need to upgrade and so currently the website is not there but very soon we will be able to be going live with the updated site and I see you also have an email support at www.skelfligs.co.ke so if you're not able to reach us via mobile for example let's say you want to do an email then we have an email that is support www.skelfligs.co.ke and there's a place where you say your future begins here it's true we have been speaking I don't know also just one last question is it possible for someone to lie on the CV they've lied on the CVS but even when they come for the interview the confidence is A1 like here we can't lie on the CV to the adima referees etc and also the confidence will get them the job as compared to somebody who has that masters but has no confidence because also meeting new faces on a panel is really discouraging and you for example mentioned you're meeting your ex who's a post there you're like hey how do I even say good morning to you and you say good morning lady and gentlemen I'm a good morning ladies you know such cues really help you yeah I mean it's possible to lie it's possible to lie and this is where we say each organization should have a very strong human resource department so that they are able to capture some of these lies especially when they are doing their background check but you're right someone may lie I've seen that happen and then they would even go to the interview and they have rooftop confidence and they even get the job rooftop confidence yeah I mean their confidence is the rooftop and they even get the job and then you find these people are also very good at learning what's happening on the ground and they end up even joining the workforce and even performing better than everyone else who is there but what happens is that will always catch up with you at some point and the problem is the moment it catches up on you let's say you lied you have a master's degree you lied of a company you worked in you lied of the duties you did and then you get the job and you're even so good at your job in fact those people are so good at their job but at one point if it catches up with you then it affects your entire career your reputation is down because the moment you go to another job and let's say the other employer asked for a reference letter from your former employer definitely they won't write a good report but this person lied to join the workforce and then about greeting are you sure they say it's not rocket science when you walk somewhere I just say good morning everyone and that's it ladies and gentlemen make it brief good morning everyone and that's it so we have to go because we are out of time thank you so much that is MD on Bogu Founder and CEO of Scalefix International if you haven't been watching and you are jobless like I said being without a job is another job because you have a job of looking for a job so you have like three jobs before you get a job and in Kenya it's T for tough hopefully you've learned something and thank you so much for coming through and sharing your insights as well that's what we call it today thank you so much we'll see you next time right here on Why In The Morning


Hey guys. How's it going? Great. Still can't find the vacuum cleaner though. Yikes. Obviously one of the most important parts about university is actually hitting the books, especially if you're looking to get into part two law and succeed in part one. So here are some study tips that I've accumulated over this first semester in hopes that they might help you too. Some top tips from Tate, if you will, are as follows. Do your readings before class.  You can actually start to synthesize ideas which, hey, lecturers like that. Take notes.  Don't just be like, ugh, I'm here so I'm learning. That's not how it works, my friend. Sorry. If the lecturer says something interesting, write it down. It'll probably help you with an assignment. Next up, find good methods that work for you. Not just cool methods like what you've seen on Instagram. If a certain type of study plan looks aesthetically pleasing but doesn't work for you, don't use it. It's a waste of your time. If you study smart, you may not need to study hard. Go somewhere you won't be distracted. Learn that the hard way. Spend most of the semester in my bedroom. Turns out I just end up on Facebook. Maybe go to a study room or a library with a friend who can hold you accountable or hold each other accountable so that you don't inevitably end up tagging each other in memes on Facebook. Trisha, why are you tagging me in memes? You've got an exam tomorrow.


Nuclear weapons have been in the news lately, thanks to a few interesting developments. This is probably what you think of when someone says the word nuclear. But despite that huge result, the actual process occurs on a much, much smaller scale. When atoms bond in chemical reactions, various processes occur. But no new atoms are created or destroyed. But when atomic nuclei, the core of an atom, and where atoms get the vast majority of their mass, get close enough to almost touch, very different processes and reactions occur. Two of the processes that can occur are nuclear fission and nuclear fusion. In used coverage, they're often used interchangeably, but they're fundamentally different. In fusion, two nuclei collide to form a single nucleus. The nucleus is often formed with a lot of energy, which it sheds by emitting particles. In fission, the nucleus will split into two, and sometimes more, pieces of various sizes. In the process, it will often release even more particles. In the first nuclear weapons, neutrons bombarded specific isotopes of uranium or plutonium cause fission, which released even more neutrons, which in turn caused more fission and so on and so on, producing an uncontrolled chain reaction. This process is what was used in Little Boy and Fat Man. The two fission bombs dropped on Japan at the end of World War II. The energy produced in fission in more controlled chain reactions of specific isotopes of uranium is what's used in nuclear power. Why uranium and plutonium? Well, when very heavy nuclear fission, yes, it's a verb, large amounts of energy are released. Uranium is the heaviest element that exists in large quantities on Earth in terms of atomic mass, the number of protons and neutrons at its core. And plutonium is an even heavy element that was first artificially created and isolated in 1940 and which only exists in trace quantities on Earth. Fat Man, the bomb dropped on Nagasaki, used just 6.2 kilograms of plutonium and it was only 20% efficient. But what about so-called hydrogen bombs or thermonuclear weapons? Well, while fission bombs are based on the energy released by heavy nuclei coming apart, thermonuclear bombs are based around the huge amounts of energy released when the lightest nuclei fuse into one. Fusion powers the sun and it's the same process that fuels thermonuclear weapons and it's what we aim to harness for power in the next stage of our pursuit of nuclear energy as it will be much cleaner. But it's a much more difficult reaction for us to sustain here on Earth. A thermonuclear weapon is a two or more stage process. The fission process that occurs in a standard nuclear weapon is used to push light nuclear together until fusion occurs. This is much more complex than a fission weapon. There's understandably a lot of secrecy around the technical details of this process and what technology is required to make the process small enough to fit on a missile that's capable of carrying it to a target. And that's part of the reason why there's increasing concern as North Korea apparently gets closer to doing just that.


While for the next three years, the Bemidji Police Department plans to build a stronger relationship with community members, training its officers and continuing to work on reducing crime throughout the city of Bemidji. It's just a small part of the Police Department's new strategic plan, which is based on the pillars of policing. The plan is made up of four goals, beginning with increasing the department's transparency, protecting the dignity and human rights of all people, utilizing problem-oriented policing strategies and enhancing emergency response capabilities. Police Chief Mike Mastin says that while these are all things they've done in the past, having a strategic plan is good for everyone. I think it helps keep more transparency with the public. You can see what our initiatives are, what we're doing and maybe how the public can help us. Last year, the Bemidji Police Department responded to 27,000 calls for both criminal and non-criminal incidents.

Kwa kwa tani zahamu netiwa nchireste wakuni ambikeramu, kandia bantu abarukubiria bantu ikun, nimbi kora muntu wa mawe. Donas at global level should fund enough money to the nation, the central government. They should do fall-up to the lower Sibyos to check whether this fund worked. They should call global meetings with partnership with Accra, which reaches the lower community. Women being first is a problem of firewood. Napa had brought a program of constructing disimproved distors. So we request especially the Ministry of Natural Resources Maybe in a partnership with other ministries to work on other improved distors so that all households are catered for. This will reduce on the deforestation that is very rampant here in Harugali because here they take very few firewood compared to our usual cooking stoves. Harugali sub-counter has been expressing a lot of climate change issues and we are advocating for funding from the national NGOs so that they can support the local Sibyos and groups in order to work on climate change mitigation measures. Why we are saying this is that sometimes when these international NGOs fund central governments sometimes these funds does not reach the local communities. So we request that these NGOs support the local Sibyos so that they can work directly with the local people. That's when in back it will be realized. We need support from the district to get on the side of fetching water because we suffer much to look for water for our activities in our homes. So we need the government or the district to support us from that problem. The government we need to support us to give us a tank and we use taps around our homes instead of going deep in the valleys to look for water. As a community member in Harugali sub-county as far as the climate changes I would expect the government to assist us with facilities. First should be training members on better methods of maintaining our land like water and soil conservation which includes better methods of agriculture and free planting but then a problem we have also is lack of land. We happen to have small plots of land and in case used for crop husband and the animals then soil erosion is also caused in such a way. So we would like at least we get some other ways also of acquiring more land. Our people very much need capacity building and when that one is done then at least our people can have something like awareness and sensitization. We want a district people to come at the grass root and sustain the communities on how to conserve these wetlands. The government I think should make radio programs teaching us how we can handle the changes in the environment. They should monitor the funds they send for us because there is a lot of corruption in our country. They should send funds so that they can build for us water sources so that we stop misusing those rivers, these swamps. So I think the government should build for us power holes, piped water. NGOs should aid us in the community. We the community members always expect a lot. So at least it should aid us with proper or reliable information as per it regards climate change, how we community members can mitigate issues pertaining or the dangers that arises as per climate change.
