from Monipal Hospital Salt Lake Kolkata. So, best wishes for the world senior citizen day 21st August. You know senior citizen is an important part of our country and the people of the senior citizen group in India accounts for almost 7% who are aging more than 65 years. So, there are certain health issues and there are certain issues. So, we have to stay well all senior citizens are part of the citizens of India and they should lead a normal life by taking balanced healthy food, doing regular exercise, morning work and evening work. They should have a company, a group and they should discuss all their pleasure, agony with them to develop a good quality of life. In the meantime, you will have couple of hitches in your life which we call disease. But it is not the disease, it is the normal wear and tear of our system. Like when we grow old there are certain things we face and we need to know how to overcome it. So, what are the hitches happens in our life? Number one, once we grow older there is some visual problem, there is some heading problem, there is some problem in our mobility what we commonly tell in terms of arthritis. Apart from that, normal wear and tear of our body leads to something which we call disease like diabetes, hypertension, COPD. Our immune system take a beating with once we get more wiser so at that time we know how to tackle the bad bugs so immunity system should be taken care essentially with the nutrition. Now, walking through our journey, walking through the life, we develop some odd situation. At most of the time we overcome but we can face certain things which in medical terminology we call depression. So, we should be positive enough to overcome all the odds, the health problem, the practical problem, the environmental problem and lead a normal and enjoyable life. Now, what to do when we face certain things like we call it disease in medical term. If we have some mobility problem or pain and arthritic problem you have to do regular exercise, take medicine, regularly consult your doctors and physiotherapists to stay well. And there is some issue with the vision. We have to correct it, wearing and correcting the refractive error, wearing specs, taking care of the cataract, regularly visiting the doctors and follow their advice. You have to follow a certain company, exchange your thought. Again, you should consult your doctors and take care of the memory related or neurological related aspects. In disease death like diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidemia, hyperlipidemia, you have to check your blood parameters at regular interval at least once a year and consult your physicians in the hospital so that the parameters remain alright and you stay well. Now, another neglected aspect is our psychological well-being. Due to loneliness in elderly age group, we all suffer from depression. So, how to overcome it? Always maintaining a company, maintaining a normal healthy life will help you to overcome depression. Moreover, we have the hospitals and the doctors to help you. So, visits as and when required and keep your mental health in a best up step to enjoy the life fully. Again, a best recess for the world senior citizen day. Thank you.


This is the Art of Thinking Smart from Think Tech Hawaii. Welcome to downtown Honolulu. I'm here today with Meliana Meyer, who is one of those infinite hyphenates. I think I'm gonna have to look that up, Michael. She's an artist, a filmmaker, an author, and a community leader, just to get started. And she keeps all of those pieces together. And we're trying to understand how to think smart in this extremely fast-moving world. Just a brief note about what we mean by thinking smart. Let's say you're in your mid-twenties, and you have a brilliant idea for a new app that you just know that every kid is gonna want to use on the Internet. And you want to become a company that gets bought by Google five years from now for $500 million. That's your vision. That's your goal. So right now at this moment, you probably have several things that you're thinking of. You need to raise some money. You need to attract some talent. And you need to establish your brand. Those are three of the main things. Yeah, so you might think, okay, let's raise $10,000 with crowdfunding and we'll pay for a couple of months of development to raise money.  It's gonna be funny, it's gonna be strange, it's gonna be silly, but it's about our great new idea. And you might say, and I've got a friend in Columbus who I met at college who knows how to code, so I'll just have him do the coding for us. So those are three very immediate things that you could do. And in our short attention span culture, you might say, okay, let's go do them. You can knock those down and get them all going in one day. But those may not be consistent with your goal in five years of selling your company for $500 million to Google. So someone who thinks smart will think, okay, I'm five years from now, we have the product, we have the finance, we have the people, we have the brand. Everything is ready to sell to Google. What did I have to do to get here? So there's a visioning process. Right, a backwards thinking by design, exactly. Exactly, they call that systems integration. That's how they got to the moon, by the way. A bunch of engineers sat down in 1963 when President Kennedy said, we're going. And they said, okay, we're on the moon, let's figure out how we got here. Okay, what do we have with this? And I think that you do something like that in a very different way. But your visioning has multiple steps built into it. And you're not always just responding to immediate, spontaneous opportunities. You have a vision, you have a purpose. I was interested as we were preparing for the program today, just for 20 minutes. We were talking, and while we were talking, you were drawing. Correct. Right, so what were you doing here? Well, you know, I think what I want to share with you in thinking smart about work is that the work that I'm trying to do has to do with finding your passion, understanding what you can do with that passion and proceeding or going forward. And in terms of just thinking smart, it's not only the thinking part, it's the na-ow part, it's the intuition part, it's the passion part. It's putting all of those things together. And as my sons are in their 30s and 40s, when I listen to them speak, they aren't forward thinking by design. They're saying, okay, this is an end goal, but my end goal isn't $500 million at Google, although maybe that's a good idea. My goal is trying to figure out what peace and justice and dealing with historical trauma can lead a community to in terms of wellness. So for me, this is really an important conversation because somehow we as a community have to do things differently. And by that I mean we have to sort of reach out to each other in ways that we haven't done before. So that's why I'm actually here and wanting to think smarter in terms of how do I position the work that we all are doing in community because there's great work that's being done in all areas of our community. So I'm just one little piece and it's a privilege to be here today. We use the word now for our non-Hawaiian speaking people and people watch this around the world. What is now? Now is an important aspect and for artists it's very critical because it's your sixth sense. It's your intuition, your instinct. So as an artist, you do call forth spirit and you call forth all your ancestors and you get out of your own way because it's not a thinking thing art so much as it's a holistic experience that has to do with all other senses and not just the intellect. So thank you for mentioning that. There's a reason about this because it's really a bowl. It's a bowl, see. So I'm just trying to do something on the inside. So that's for tomorrow. It's a three-dimensional thing. Correct. Absolutely. On a two-dimensional surface, yes. Right. So one of the things that you do that I find fascinating is you partner with one or more artists and possibly with groups of young people who may not be artists at all but are visioning people and to create a community image and it goes really very much against the Michelangelo tradition of the Western artist which is the great genius who has a beautiful vision and executes it as a statement of his or her soul and it's a Mozart. But there may be a number of Mozarts and other people who are not exactly Mozarts but it creates a whole that may be greater than the sum of its parts and it's an artistic statement. Absolutely. Well, when you're working with extraordinary friends who happen to be extraordinary artists to boot and then because I'm an educator I always love to include young ones, students or ala ka'i or apprentices. It makes for a community event. So that's really an important part or aspect of what we do and it's very cultural. Collaboration, cooperation. It's like being in a canoe. If you think you can paddle a canoe by yourself well then you don't know anything about paddling and you're going to drown all by yourself. In other words, you need a crew of six. You need a steersman.  And in art it's the same way if you work in teams and you support everyone's interest area as in talent area and you work ensemble together. So it's a very important aspect of knowing and understanding Hawaiian culture to see that because even in Michelangelo he had apprentices they just didn't get very much credit whereas in Hawaiian style you want to give everyone who you work with that kind of credit. The person who's in charge is invisible to the extent that that's possible. It is true because there's so many people involved and it is such a process that calls forth everyone's talents. It's really exciting. What you're describing I think is really useful for anybody who's building a team to go after any objective. So that 20-something person that we were just describing he or she is going to need to have collaboration skills and be able to build a team that's diverse and yet unified at the same time. So we're talking Hawaiian culture here and we're talking murals and art. But I want people to be sort of doing a right brain, left brain translation of that as we go through. And it's important because it's not one thing or another and you don't have to choose between doing art and doing science. The whole part is to understand the complexity of the whole and know that it takes everything to make things work. Well complexity and simplicity how do those interrelate from your creative process? That's actually a really good question and I think most innovators and problem solvers you just try to go to the core of what you want to say like this mural that we have worked on it's called Aina Aloha. I mean it's this gathering of love for the land and you see the work and what it does is it gives a message, it's a story but within the story there are specific iconic images. So what you try to do from the simplifying point of view is to get to those essential messages and then expand so that people can see something in its totality. So then you can understand the complexity and what you'll be seeing with the mural project is a very unusual opportunity because it's a two-sided mural installation. Typically murals are one-sided. Where did the wall go? Exactly. The wall is actually in the middle because now it's an installation you have to walk around it. So the original piece is six by 20 feet and it was painted by Al Agunero, Cahi Ching, Solomon Inos, Hari Nani Orm, Carl Powell and myself. And this was an invitation and a challenge to these artists. Must have been a pretty big garage you were working on. We were. We actually worked at Camp Mocalea and we worked at the Bishop Museum as well. But the challenge for everyone was to paint away sorrow and pain and historical trauma. So that is what we did. And there's a mural and we'll give you a link for that mural so you can see it. But after we finished this mural on one side, they said, but we're not done with the paint part. And I said, oh, well, I'm sorry. It's all under this mural and we've got it documented. And you guys, we've done what I thought we could do. How do you feel? We're still not done dealing with the paint. So then they decided to paint on the other side. So that's what you're going to experience when you see the mural. Well, let's see the mural. You actually brought a small-scale reproduction of it. I did. I'm not sure. Yes, they have it. Yes. Yes, you have it, guys. Let's put it on the screen here. Yeah, that'd be great. Yes. So, is this the first side? Yes, it is the first side. This is the first paint. Is it? Actually, this is the first painting. It goes from right to left. From right to left. So we're actually, you're seeing it in its totality now. Wow. And then I'm going to start with this story on the right as it's coming up. We start with the cumulipo, which is, you can see the polyps on the far right. Yeah. And then the second image is an image of Ki'i Kahiko, old things and traditions. Wow. The next piece is Brother Ha Loa Nakalau Kapalili, Brother Kalo, exactly. And then we come to the Kupuna Mountains, the Elder Mountains. And Spirit is in the middle with, and it's Makaku and creativity, which is the most important. Is that the white light? Yes, the two birds representing that. And on the bottom of the mural, it's all grounded by Aina, that which feeds us. Aina is left. Correct. And on the left, you have these Umeke, these kalabashes that you can see when coming out of. So they represent our protocols and our language and the revival of our customary practices. And then you have something that looks like a lele, an altar, which is being used today at Pu'u Kohala in other places to give offerings. Yeah. And then we have an image of a young boy who is really a stand-in for the next generation. And he is wearing an ahu'ula, which is a cape of innovation, of new ideas. So it looks like feathers, but it's really very much in keeping with Think Tank and all these great programs. And to the left of him is an avatar image that Kupuna and Elder is holding for him to assume when he's ready and willing. So this whole new generation of youngsters have that kuliana or responsibility to do the work. So we're kind of going from the beginning of time until today. Correct. And we have this young person hopefully ready to take, assume the mantle of this new image. She used a very interesting phrase. He said, painting away our pain. Yeah. Talk a little bit more about, because I'm seeing some of what you're talking about. Yeah. To my eye and feeling this looks insightful and deep and hopeful and joyous, it's serious. It's very serious. But it's not frivolous. It's not necessarily fun. Yeah. But you have, there were six artists connected with painting this. Correct. Did each artist take on one subject and paint it? No. And then you figured out how to merge them? No. Thank you for asking. Because the piece was actually done successfully in a week's time because everyone moved. So that's the process that I, that I challenged everyone to. And so this is the sixth piece we've done or seventh mural we've done. We've done murals at the, the convention center, the Bishop Museum, Camp Mocalea. So this being a traveling mural has gone internationally to healing conferences and things. And you'll see on the other side, if we can show the other side. Let's show the second one. Let's do that. Because what you're going to experience is that... This is the completion. Correct. Are we also going right to left on this one? No. This, this side you can enter from any position. Okay. So it's, it's very abstract. And it's meant to, to bring people to pain and sorrow and historical trauma in a way that the other side got painted away. So, so the kupuna I've talked to, they've also said, we like this piece because we can talk about the pain. I see the, I see the blood. Yeah. Blood and gore and, and disease and death and sorrow and... To the left of center there, there's something that looks like some hands. They are hands. Is that an imagination? They are hands. And then you have this incredible heel tessellation, these little portals of healing. So it's not the Guernica of Picasso that was doom and darkness exclusively, it was actually this piece allowing for the healing from the other side of the mural to come through in these little pieces of teal. So it's a really novel idea that happens to, to engage the viewers and it's meant to go along with a film project that I'm trying to finish because this is outreach for the film. I do see the Guernica character of this. Yeah, yeah. For those who may not be familiar, just Google Guernica, D-U-E-R-N-I-C-A is the great masterpiece of Pablo Picasso in the time of the Spanish Civil War. Correct. Capturing the... The whore. The blood and the death, the anarchy, the, the Civil War, brother against brother, sister against sister. Yeah. It's a very painful piece. I don't... Have you ever seen it live? Yes, I have. It's a very large piece. It's hard to approach. It is hard to approach. And actually this piece... It's still dripping. You're right. And this piece is too, Michael, because people have responded to that red side. And it's so hard, the red side, so I'm really grateful to say, please, if, if, if you need a moment, walk to the other side. Let's take a break for a moment. Okay, thank you. To walk to the other side. Thank you. Aloha. I'm Kauai Lucas, host of Hawaii Is My Main Land, here on Think Tech Hawaii every Friday at 3 p.m. We address issues and importance for those of us who live here on the most isolated land mass on the planet. Please come join me, Fridays at 3 p.m. Mahalo. Aloha. This is Kaili Akina with the Weekly Ehana Kako. Let's work together program on the Think Tech Hawaii Broadcast Network Mondays at 2 o'clock p.m. Movers and shakers and great ideas. Join us. We'll see you then. Aloha. My name is Mark Shklav and I'm the host of Law Across the Sea. And Law Across the Sea is a program that brings attorneys who have traveled across the sea and live in Hawaii or are staying in Hawaii for a time to talk about their travels, where they're from, where they're going and bring it all together, because really, we're all connected some way, although we travel across the sea. So I hope that you'll tune in and watch our program. Thank you very much. So we're back here now with Meliana Meyer on Thinking Smart. And Meliana is making us smarter and smarter by the moment here. I feel my IQ rising. And my EQ also, my emotional quotient is being nourished. And that's a very big part of success of any kind. Yeah, absolutely. Now, let's go to another example that I find fascinating. This was something that was done for Hawaii International Forgiveness Day last summer. And it was... One of our artists. ...a community visualization that was done by Solomon Enos. Correct. And in this video, you'll see 90 minutes compressed into just about three minutes. And what he was... Well, you set it up. You talk. Well, you need to know that working with Solomon and the others in our work together is a real gift because they are generous of spirit. They are insightful. They are able to do extraordinary work. Or we are together ensemble because we have a collective vision. So I think in terms of the Forgiveness Project, they too or we too all share that vision of working towards forgiveness. So when Solomon was asked to do this piece, he was listening to extraordinary presenters. He was listening to Ramsey Tom. He was listening to... Fred Luskin. Fred Luskin, yeah. He was listening... Talking about gratitude. Exactly. But very much Western approach and Hawaiian approach. Exactly. So when you have Saul working like this, he's working to create a vision of wellness through the creative modality of the visual. And there's a live audience of a couple hundred people. There's a live audience, correct. Yeah, up on the poly. So the people in the audience are participating in a way as well. Exactly. And they will be asked to contribute as well. But Solomon does this very, very well in terms of setting up what we call an underpainting or a sketch, a working sketch that others can begin to work with. When we work as a group, we all participate in this process and create an image together and then create and scale up together. So the process is very vital to set up, to engage, to talk about what you vision. And the result then is something extraordinary that you're seeing right now. It is his vision of what the conversation moves him to create. So there's images within images. Exactly. There's landscapes. There's faces. Correct. There's vegetation. There's stars. There's... There's a worldview there. Yeah. There's a perspective of the world and of forgiveness that... And he's making it spontaneously without any plan. Exactly. He's not tracing her. No, no, no. He's coming from his now. His gut, his instinct about what the conversation has given to him. Solomon also does very carefully conceived, quietly executed masterpieces. Yes, he does. I would call them. Yes. If you just Google Solomon, enos, e, n, o, s, then you can see more samples of what he does. Absolutely. So this is one that was created as a community work of art. And after this was done, I understand the 200 people came up and colored it all in. That they did. Yeah. And you know, that experience is very different because it's spontaneous and you accept different things happening so you don't really have attachment to the completion of it necessarily. Yeah. But it's the experience of participating. So it's really... It's really what we're trying to do with the forgiveness work that we all participate in. It's engaging people in understanding that we all have a part in both healing and forgiveness. So it's not one side or another. It's all of us doing the work together. And you can see a lot more of this at Hawaii Forgiveness Project. Correct. Correct. Absolutely. I understand you're going to be talking about this mural. Yes. The Aloha Aina mural. Right. So that is Love of the Land. Love of the Land and Aina Aloha is also that the land cares for and loves us which is the name of the film project. So that's at the Bodhi Tree here in Honolulu. Is it the Bodhi Tree or is it the Jewel? It's the Bodhi Tree. Okay. Okay. On Judd Street near downtown Honolulu. Okay. And that's at 4 p.m. tomorrow or Friday. Okay. 4 to 6. Everyone here is invited to come. Wonderful. So forgiveness now. This is a loaded word for lots of people and it takes some study, some feeling, some understanding to even grasp it, especially in the context of Hawaii and our original people and the overthrow and the queen. Can you paint in some of the details there? Well, you know, it's not a hard story to tell because it's been written. It is very clearly available for everyone who lives in Hawaii to know the truth about what's going on. So once you know the truth, then we have the responsibility, each and every one of us, to find out more and see if we agree or not, but truth is the truth. I mean, it either happened or it didn't. So there's no alternative reality going on here and so the important part is... There's no fake news. No, no fake news. Although Hawaii has had a very difficult relationship with all of that, just given its history in terms of the overthrow and who's run things and who's been in charge. But you know, Liliuokolani is our fearless leader because she was a woman of faith and she was a woman of justice and she loved her people and her land and that's what all of us in all of these different areas today are doing were practicing Pono. And this was 120 years ago. That is correct. But they were still very much alive in the hearts and feelings of the Hawaiian people. And they will never... They're still happening. They will never go. And my aunt, Aimanavehi, for example, and Joseph, they were royalists who were lovers of the land and Liliu. So she was a confidant of the queen. So the work I do is a continuation of her work and I humbly just ask always for the permission to do the work and to be of service to the people because they have a lot of work to do. Your link to the queen is coming literally from your now. Absolutely. And I'm grateful about that because each of us has a responsibility to assume a mantle or to make a difference in community. So if someone wanted to understand both the triumph and the tragedy that's represented by the overthrow and didn't know anything, I think that you could probably Google Ilani Palace and read from there and there are other links that will come up through there. Absolutely. And you can read. So Ilani is I-O-L-A-N-I. Right. With an okina up before the eye. Right. So Ilani Palace. Right. A few blocks from here. Correct. And it was a place where something really extraordinary terrible and something extraordinarily beautiful and poetic happened. Can you just tell us a little bit? This palace was built by Kalakaua, Liliuokalani's brother. And it was to represent to the world that Hawaiians were people of justice, intellect, and regard of law, the rule of law. And it stands as an emblem for us today of this leader's deep intellect and understanding of world events. So for us too, Liliu's story is one that we all can embrace and actually there's a book called Hawai'i's Story by Hawai'i's Queen which is really important to read. So please feel free to do that and just know that each of us needs to not only think smarter but be appreciative of the context within which we live and understand that there are lots of negotiations that need to go on. She confronted injustice and violence and abuse and terror with forgiveness. And a call for justice that we are still responding to today. But it's motivated by forgiveness. So tomorrow at 4 p.m. we'll go deeper and look into this mural. Thank you so much, Michael. Appreciate it. Aloha.


From Miami Beach, Florida, it's theCUBE, covering Acronis Global Cyber Summit 2019. Brought to you by Acronis. Hello everyone, welcome to theCUBE. We are in Miami, Florida for the Acronis Global Cyber Summit 2019. I'm John Furrier, your host of theCUBE. We're here for two days of coverage around cybersecurity and the impact to the enterprises and society. We have a great guest here to kick off the event, Linda Babcock, Professor of Economics at Carnegie Mellon University. Author of the book, Ask for It, and she has a new book she's working on, and we'll get into that. Thanks for joining me, thanks for coming on. Now I'm really happy to be here, thanks. So, Carnegie Mellon, great, great university.  Very well known for that as well. It's kind of a revolving door. Economics, math, machine learning, all the good stuff there. What's going on at Carnegie Mellon? What's new in your world? Well, it's just actually just a great place to be because of the focus on interdisciplinary work. Problems in the world don't come as disciplines. They come with multiple perspectives needed, and so it's just a place where people can flourish, attack ideas from all kinds of angles, and so it's a really great place to be. One of the things I hear a lot about, and we cover a lot about the skills gap, certainly there's more job openings than there are jobs. And it's interesting, a lot of the jobs that are new haven't been skilled before in the classic university setting, so a lot of these jobs like cyber security, cloud computing, blockchain, crypto economics, token economics, all kind of have a math economic theme to them. So you get computer science, you got economics and policy. Seem to be the key areas around some of these new skills and challenges we face as a society. What's your take on all this? Well actually there's a lot going on in this area at Carnegie Mellon. Actually the economics group at Carnegie Mellon is been proposing a new major that really focuses on this interface between economics, machine learning, and technology. And I think it's going to train our students just for the next generation of problems that the world of tech is going to have. So it's very exciting. So let's talk about your book, Ask for It. Okay. It's not a new book that's been around for a while but you give a talk here. What's the talking track here at the event? Yeah so I have a couple of themes of research and it focuses on women's barriers to advancement in organizations. And so most of the work that I did with this book and my first book Women Don't Ask was looking about how men and women approach negotiation differently. And kind of the bottom line is that women are less likely to negotiate than men over all kinds of things like pay, like opportunities for advancement, like the next promotion. And it really harms them in the workplace because men are always out there asking for it. And organizations reward that. And so the book was really about shedding light on this disparity and what organizations can do about it and what women can do about it themselves, how they can learn to negotiate more effectively. What did you learn when you were writing the book around some of the use cases and best practices that women were doing in the field? Was it more aggressive style? Was it more collaborative? You're seeing a lot more solidarity amongst women themselves and men are getting involved. A lot of companies are kind of talking the game. Some are walking the talk. What are the big findings that you've learned? Well, I'd say that the approaches that women use are a lot different than the approaches that men use. And it's because our world lets men do a lot of different things. It lets them engage in a cooperative way. It lets them be very competitive. But our world has a very narrow view about what's acceptable behavior for women. I often call it a tightrope because women are kind of balancing that they need to go out and assert themselves but they have to do it in a way that our society finds acceptable. And that that tightrope constrains women and doesn't allow them to be their authentic selves. And so it makes it difficult for women to navigate that. What's your take on the balancing of being aggressive and the pressure companies have to keep the women population certainly pipelining in tech we see it all the time. And the whole me too thing and the pressure that goes on because norms are forming, right? Is there any new data that you can share around how the norms are forming and what men can do, particularly I get this question a lot and I always ask myself, what am I doing? Can I do something different? Because I want to be inclusive and I want to do the right thing but sometimes I don't know what to do. Yeah, of course. And it's really important that men get involved in this conversation as allies. And like you said, sometimes men don't know what to do because they feel like maybe they don't have standing to be in the conversation when it's about women. And we all need men as allies if women are going to try to reach equality at some point. But the new data really suggests negotiation may be playing a role, the work that Cheryl Sandberg lean in but the newest work that we have shows that actually the day to day things that happen at work that's holding women back. So let me tell you about that. So what we find is if you think about your calendar and what you do all day, there are tasks that you can classify as being promotable. That is, they're really your core job responsibility. They're noticed, rewarded. But there's lots of other things that happen in your organization that are often below the surface that are important to do, valued, but actually not rewarded. And what our research finds is that men spend much more time than women at the tasks that are these promotable tasks that are rewarded. Women spend much more time than men on these tasks that we call non-promotable that are not rewarded. And it's really holding women back. And how men can help is that the reason that women are doing these tasks is because everyone is asking them to do these tasks. And so what men can do is start asking men to do some of these things that are important but yet not rewarded because the portfolios now are really out of balance and women are really shouldering the burden of these tasks disproportionately. So get on the wave of the promotional or the promotional oriented things. Bet more and the men can come and pick up the slack on some of the things that were quote delegated to the women because they could order the kitchen food or whatever meals. Help others with their work. Someone has to hire the summer interns. Someone has to organize events. Someone has to resolve underlying conflicts. Those are all really important things. Women get tasked with them and that really doesn't allow them to focus on their core job responsibilities. And so men can step up to the plate, start doing their fair share of that work and really then allow women to reach their full potential. I've been thinking a lot about this lately around how collaboration software and how collaborative teams, you start to see the big successful companies like Amazon that have this two pizza team concept. Smaller teams, team oriented. If you're doing it during a team, these things go, you know, you give and you get. So I think it's probably a better environment. Is that happening or no? It's unclear how teams kind of shake out for women in this setting because there's actually some research that shows when a team produces an output and the supervisor trying to figure out like who really made the output, who was the valued player on the team. They often overvalue the contributions of men and undervalue the contributions of women. So actually team projects can be problematic if women don't get their fair share of credit. So the bias is everywhere? The bias is everywhere and you know, it's not that people are trying to discriminate against women. It's just that it's a subconscious implicit bias and so affects our judgments in ways that we don't even realize. It's actually probably amplifies that, you know, the GamerGate and a lot of things on digital and digital communities, we see a lot where people are hiding behind their avatars. That's also a pretty bad environment. So we've been doing a lot of thinking and reporting around communities and data. I wanted to give you a thought because I never really probed at this, but is there any economic incentives? And actually you're an economics professor. You're seeing things like crypto economics and tokens and all kinds of new things. Is there a potential path towards bringing an incentive system that's cutting edge? What's the, is there any progressive thinking around any kind of incentive systems for organizations or individuals? Well, when you think about incentives and me being an economist, I think about those a lot and I merge that with my work on the barriers to women's advancement. I think incentives is one area that you can actually play a big role and that is that organizational leaders should be incentivized to see that they have equal advancement for their male and female employees in their workforce. Because if they don't, it means they're losing out on this potential that women have, that they aren't able to fully be productive. And so that's a place I think that incentives can really be important. I was talking to a great leader and he said, and I'm quoting him, and I feel the same way, he says, our incentive is business. We get a better outcome when we include women. And I said, okay, can you give data? And he goes, yeah, we make software. And half of the people that use our software are women. Or women, right. So why don't we have women. And I'm like, oh, that makes a lot of sense that the bias that should be in there for women, for women created by women for women. And women spend more money as consumers than men. And so having women on teams allows them to see perspectives that men may not see. And so it can really add to new innovative thinking that hadn't been there before by including women. Well, I'm excited that there's a little bit of movement in tech. Certainly in venture capital, you're starting to see a lot more women come in, still more boardroom work to do. But I think there's a nice sign that there's more jobs that are computer related that aren't just coding. I mean, that's male dominant pretty much now and still is for a while. But there's a lot more skills. There's all kinds of range now in computer science that's interesting. How is that affecting some of the new pipelining of women? Well, I think the good news is that there are, is increasing levels of women's attainment in STEM fields. And so there are more and more female workers entering the labor market today. We just have to make sure that those workers are valued and feel included when they do join tech companies. Otherwise they will leave. Because what happens unfortunately sometimes in tech is it doesn't feel inclusive for women and the quit rate for women in tech is over twice the rate for men. Some of the reasons are is they're not feeling valued in their positions, they're not seeing their advancement. And so with this new wave of female workers, we have to make sure that those workplaces are ready to accept them and include them. That's great. Well, Ask For It is a great book. I went through it and it's a great handbook. I learned a lot. It really is a handbook around just standing up and taking what you can. You got a new book you're working on. What's that going to look like? What are some of the themes in the new book? Yeah, so the new book is on these promotable tasks and the way I like to think about it is there's so much attention to work-life balance. How do you manage both of those? With your career, your family, how does that work? But our work actually focuses on work-work balance. And what we mean is paying attention to the things that you do at work. Making sure that those things that you're doing are the things that are most valuable for your employer and are going to be most valuable for your career. So it's a really different focus on the day-to-day ways that you spend your time at work and how that can propel women to the next level. That's awesome. Linda, thanks for coming on. Appreciate it. What do you think of the event here, Kronos Global Cybersecurity Summit? Well, I got to say it's not my typical event, but I'm having a good time learning more about what's happening in the tech industry today. Cyber protection is certainly a cutting-edge issue and certainly on the East Coast and Washington D, certainly with national defense and all kinds of things happening. Ransomware is a big topic that's kicked around here. The town's getting taken out like, oh my God. Wanting Bitcoin in return, taking your systems out. Learning all kinds of new stuff to add to my toolkit. Great to have you on. Thanks for your insight. Thanks for sharing. Appreciate it. I'm John Furrier here at theCUBE. We are here at Miami Beach for the Kronos Cyber Protection Conference. Thank you for watching.


Hey Co-Friends, I'm Bianca Renee and you're watching Bianca Renee Today and today I'll be reviewing a very highly requested hair brand which is Innocence Organic Beauty. Many of you know that I love to use products that have really good ingredients and Innocence is a brand that truly strives for pure clean ingredients. I do try a lot of different hair products and I like to find the certain products within brands that are sulfate, paraben, silicone free but I love when I could just say that a whole entire brand across the board is safe to use. It just makes life easier. You could just go in knowing that you're going to get some good products. So all of the Innocence products are sulfate, paraben, silicone free. They're certified organic cruelty free just full of good stuff. Today's video is sponsored by Innocence Organic Beauty but I also want to say to them thank you so much for donating $100,000 to four different black organizations to help against social injustice. That $100,000 is going towards NAACP, Campaign Zero, The Love Land Foundation and Black Lives Matter. Thank you for your commitment and taking a stand. I mean so much to me to work with brands and I only care about me and my curls but all black lives. So I have a lot of different goodies to try but I think I've narrowed it down to my favorites but I do want to show you all the different options there are when it comes to shampoo and conditioner. First you might have known they're like original OG products, the pure harmony hair bath and the pure inspiration daily conditioner. These two products are for fine to normal hair. If you don't have finer normal hair you might want to try the Innocence Color Awakening Hair Bath or the Color Radiance Daily Conditioner. These two are for medium textured hair or color treated hair, which I have also tried. But when I was thinking about my audience and thought about what products would you want to see, I wanted to wait until I can get my hands on the Innocence Hydrating Cream Conditioner and the Hydrating Cream Hair Bath. Because these products are for dry, coarse and thirsty hair. And I feel like a lot of your curls are just thirsty. Innocence Organic is like the yogi of hair products. Literally on the back of all their products it says to thoroughly saturate hair with water, take in a deep breath and become centered. Which is what we all probably should do before we detangle. So without further ado, let's hop in the shower so I can show you how I applied the Innocence Hydrating Cream Hair Bath and the Hydrating Cream Conditioner. Starting off with the Hydrating Cream Hair Bath. This is a luxurious hydrating shampoo for dry, coarse and thirsty hair. I love the smell. This is probably my favorite smelling shampoo out of the three that I just showed you. It smells like vacation, like a high end spa that just makes you want to relax. This is a deeply hydrating, yet lightweight silicone-free, sulfate-free shampoo that does set up like you know I like. Once I rinsed it out, I then added a couple pumps of the Innocence Hydrating Cream Conditioner. It says to dispense one or two pumps, but you know I'm not really a one or two pump kind of girl. But then after consulting with a professional hair stylist, I was told that these products work best when your hair is heavily saturated with water. So what you could do is, once you apply your conditioner, add a little bit more water to it and then it should become easier to detangle. And I tried this and what do you know, it was true. So if you ever need some more slip with these products, apply the conditioner, add in some more water and then continue to detangle. So once I learned that little trick, it was much easier to get out all of my tangles and my curls felt very moisturized. So after the shampoo condition, I wanted to try one more product that I've never tried before, which is the Innocence Hydrating Hair Mask. I didn't even know the Innocence had a hair mask, so I was very excited to see that they had one. This is to repair and revitalize dry, coarse or damaged hair. This product is very thick in this little tube. It almost feels like an oversized thing of toothpaste and it actually has a very sweet smell to it, like a dessert. Now this is where I kind of messed up. I applied this as I usually do after my shampoo and conditioner, but then when I read the back of the bottle, it says to pre-cleanse with the hair bath and then apply the mask and then follow up with the conditioner. So they actually suggest that you use this hair mask before the conditioner. I found that interesting. So I'm about to try this again in that order and I'll let you guys know how that works out on my Instagram, follow me at Ms. Bianca Renee, but this time around I did do it like I normally do after conditioner and I loved how it felt. This consistency on my hair felt different than any other deep conditioner that I've ever used. It's not really so much like a thick heavy cream, but it just felt so like smooth to the touch and made my curls just feel like they were melting in moisture. I really loved how this felt. I would say the only downside to this hair mask is that it's only four fluid ounces and I feel like this is now going to become one of my favorites that I'm going to want to use all the time.  So I put it under a shower cap and let it sit for about 15 minutes and then I rinsed it out. So now let's talk about the stylers, my favorite part.  Innocence gets straight to the point. Their products have titles like I create lift, I create hold, I create finish, I create volume. You don't have to guess. It tells you exactly what that product is used for. So I ended up contacting the very talented stylist, Lonnie from Desert Curl Studios. Her salon's located in Reno, Nevada.  But I went on Instagram live with her and she walked me through exactly how to use all the products and I'm also going to apply them how she told me to. Many of you know I'm a very lazy applyer. I just put it on there, I slap it on, I scrunch it around and I'm done. But I'm trying a new styling technique, I mean it's not new but new for me that takes a little bit more patience. So let's get started and go back to day one. Alrighty, let's see if I can style my hair like I did with Lonnie on my Instagram live. So I'll be using three products. This is the I create volume, the I create lift volumizing foam and the I create finish. Starting off with the I create volume. Now when using Innersense I've seen some extremely defined curl results and that's usually because it's done in sections. I'm not really someone to do my hair in sections just because I'm lazy. I'm going to try it again and see how defined I can make my hair. So let's get some of the volume which is a very liquidy consistency. It's called a volumizing lotion.  But I'm going to rake this through, just like this, smoothing it down, raking it and then scrunching it back up for definition like that. Section number one. Okay, side number one looking extremely defined. Let's do the other side. Oh yeah, that's looking juicy. So third step one. Now I'm going to go in with the Innersense I create lift volumizing foam. This is a styling foam to lift roots, create style, memory and medium hold. So once again I'm going to grab smaller sections and this foam is like a watery type consistency. It's not like an aerosol foam and it smells like, it smells clean. Moisturizing this is, oh yeah, hear that? That looks really promising though, happening just on its own. I feel like this would take, but because my hair takes forever to dry, I am going to now go in with the Innersense I create finish. It's basically like a hair spray which is really hard to find a silicone free hair spray so this one is great. But instead of using it as your last step once your hair is dry, you also can spray it on your wet hair to make it dry faster. That's what I love to use this for. This is a versatile hair spray that provides shine and hold. So now I'm going to spray the mess out of my curls. I wait to let my hair air dry to about 85% or 90% but one tip that I did in my Instagram live with Innersense was to diffuse immediately. So I'm going to diffuse right now. The tip that I got was midway you could add some more finishing spray to help it dry. Even faster and stay in place. Do you see the shine and the definition and it has a really great point. I would usually try to pick it out make it even bigger but it's honestly really late right now so I'm going to kind of save the cast for tomorrow. I'm going to put my hair up into my pineapple like so. I'll sleep with my hair like this and then I'll come back tomorrow to show you day two. So now you're looking at my day two hair which is usually even better than day one. Refreshing today was so easy. I just applied a little bit of water and I did put a little bit more of the I create lift volumizing foam but I almost didn't need to because as soon as I added the water it kind of reactivated all my products from yesterday and my curls just went back to being defined and shiny. So this is amazing for day two. I definitely love the I create finish. It really cuts down my dry time in half while it's super wet or as a nice finishing spray to just lock in all that definition to make it last all throughout the week. So even though I didn't use the I create hold within this little cocktail I still got my hold from the I create finish. I love this little combo so much that I want you to try it. I'm doing a giveaway on Instagram happening right now at Ms. Bianca Renee so go look for that photo and turn while you can so you could win some free Innocence Organic products.

You guys, yourself and Jarrell, who have been at this game a long time to get to this game. How much more does it mean to you? It's another game in our, well, we are just trying to take it one game at a time and this one, all that matters. We knew if our situation started in Houston and our playoff started then, we had to win. And all we can focus on is this week. And so this is a big one for us. And we just got to take care of this week. You guys in this life, you mentioned brotherhood. You mentioned how you play for each other. What exactly does that mean to you? How can you make that tangible for people who haven't been in that type of situation before? Right. You put a lot of time into this. It's not just, hey, you show up at camp, you play. It starts in all seasons. It starts in free agency. It starts as you're building that bond with guys who you've never met before. And it takes time. And we do everything possible to try to be a close-knit group from spending time outside of football to going to dinners together, spending time with your families together. And it means more if you have a personal relationship with the guy next to you, because you don't want to let your brother down. If it's just a teammate, you don't know him. It might be easier.   How's Eric involved as a leader since he's gotten here? Derek's a guy who puts the work in every day. It started out by just seeing how hard he worked day in and day out. And he's a phenomenal athlete, phenomenal guy. And he's taken those steps as showing us how much he cares, what it takes to be a leader. The guy's playing his tell-off every week. And you look up to guys like that because you see how much it means to him. And you don't want to let a guy down like that. He's got more vocal, though, too, as it's gone along, hasn't he? Yeah, definitely. He's matured as a player. And it takes time, honestly. It's hard to come in as a young guy and be the vocal guy. And he did it the right way. He came in and showed us how hard he worked. And as a veteran, that's what you want to see as a young guy who's working hard every day and don't say a lot. And now he's taken that role and stepped up as being a leader. And we trust that guy, and we love that guy to death. Are you guys marveling at all at what he's doing right now? The numbers are insane. He's an amazing player. And we knew he has it in him. But our thing is just don't let it in now. Just keep grinding each week and just trying to get a little better each week. How much different is your group? Like in the huddle that he kind of gets worked up and I don't like kind of talking about him wanting the ball. Do you hear him say that? And what's he like when he's kind of rolling? Yeah, most of the time he's not saying much.  He's a guy who wants to touch the ball. You see when he's having those runs and having those games, his focus, his leadership. And he's just determined. And we love seeing that look. How much different is your group? And now, then, when you guys started off the season? It's a process. It's an offensive line. The more you play with each other, the better you get. It's just a bond. And we've got to keep playing well. And if not, we could be home next week. So our mindset is we've got to ground this one out and do what we did in the past couple of weeks and just keep chucking wood. In that unit, you guys have had some challenges, you know, with the injuries and changes at right guard, Taylor missing the first four games. Roger kind of getting used to a new team. Did you have a point where maybe everything has started clicking for you all? That's the hole in a fell season. It's not what you're doing at the beginning or the end. You've got to be playing your best ball at the end of the year if you want to be winning. And we're playing our best ball right now. And all the previous games, that doesn't matter now, as long as you're playing well at the end of the year. Coach Ray will just mention you was the blue that holds that offensive line together. You've got a front row seat. The guys to the left, have you seen them just kind of come together and play the way that they are playing now? Right. Those guys work extremely hard every day. The passion they put into it, how much they care, what they do off the field together. And we're just a unit that's trying to be the closest group in the building, spending time together because if it's one guy now on the same page, it can make a negative play. So we've got to have five guys on the same mindset on each play. There have been moments in the last couple games where you can see the front seven is like, we don't want any more of this line and this running back, and if so, how satisfying when you sense that from them? In the game, I'm really looking at the guy in front of me and trying to make sure my guy doesn't make the tackle. And that's our mindset, if your guy's not making the tackle, that means that's one less guy that can tackle Derrick. And if you're doing your job and not looking back and you're helping Derrick up after four and five yard carries, you can see it's wearing on him. But our goal is, as long as your guy's not making the play, you're doing your job. I'm sure you've been on some teams where when guys get hurt and you get to the back end of the roster, there's those uh-oh moments on the sideline. But this team in this run has gotten contributions from everybody. How much confidence is there from 1 to 53 on this team compared to normal? Yeah, I know it's our group. That's what the GM, the head coach, is getting a competitive roster and getting guys who can play. It's not just you're not just on the team. You're here to help this team win in any shape and form. And that's what we take pride about. Anybody on this team can go out there and help us win. Have you seen Tana Hill's leadership, I guess, vocal in the huddle increase as the league's going on? Yeah, you saw him once he got here in OTAs. And during camp, you can tell he's been a start in this league. And once he stepped in there, and he's a competitor. And that's what you want in the quarterback. You want a guy who can lead, who wants to win, and he'll put it on the line for you. And we respect him. And we go out there and try to keep him clean. I think it's been in some respects that when you guys are running the ball the way you are and taking time off the clock, that doesn't always really matter what the other offense is doing. You can only control what you can control. You don't have to worry about what other team is doing. We just got to focus on the moment. And our job is to go out there, execute as an offensive line, open up holes, and protect the quarterback, and let the game play out how it is. And if you start worrying about what everybody else is doing on the team, you get away from your job. I'm assuming you watched the Chiefs yesterday and what are the challenges when you face them, I think you've already faced once this season. Yeah, they've got a great team. They go out there, they're executed. They're explosive. And we know we're going into an environment that's going to be loud. But that's what it's been for us the past four weeks. And we're out for the challenge, and we're looking forward to going to the Chiefs and playing. Pretty incredible when you look that you beat the AFC South Champs, the AFC East Champs, and the AFC North Champs in the last three weeks. You got a chance to take out all four over a four-game pan. Yeah, I didn't notice that. I'm just worried about one week at a time, but that's just our mindset as a team. You can't look down the road, and this is just the next team. And we know what we have in our hands. They're a great team. They have a lot of great players on that team, but we've got to focus in. And it's just one week at a time. It points out, though. There's nothing cheap about this run you guys are on. Yeah, if you're playing your best football in December, that's all that matters. And whoever's doing that throughout January, that's the ones who gets to the next step. And we're playing our best ball right now. We just got to keep it going. A couple of things about what you guys are doing right now. Patriots and Ravens stacked the box knowing what was coming. You guys still were effective. How satisfying is that as an offensive line that they know what's coming? They just can't stop you sometimes. Yeah, as an offensive lineman, that's what you want to be able to do. You want to run the ball and protect your quarterback. And we've done that for the past two weeks, but you're only as good as the next game. No matter what we've done in the past, nobody's going to remember that. We've got to be good the next week.

o some of the messages out of Jerusalem a short while ago and I have a message also to the Hezbollah don't test us in the north don't repeat the mistake humans made because today the price you're going to pay is going to be much much heavier President Biden said in English don't do it don't do it and I say to you the same in Hebrew beware this long time mistake will not repeat itself you cannot live side by side of a murderous terrorist organization there's only one way it can end we are going to bring back our hostages and there will be no Habas in Gaza it's going to take time it's going to necessitate us to use a lot of force if the world doesn't like it well it won't like it the children of the world were not murdered it's our children who were murdered so for more let's go back to Jerusalem we're joined once again by our senior diplomatic correspondent Owen Ultiman inside the Israeli parliament and Owen shortly after we spoke not so long ago now sirens sounding in Jerusalem sirens sounding as well until I've we had the images on our screen of an empty Knesset room and pat for us describe for us what happened when those sirens went off across Jerusalem a short while ago yeah well Benito to put it bluntly as you mentioned the the plenum session ended member of parliament Miraf Ben-Ari had been at the podium and she simply said there's been a siren and the speaker Amir Khanna asked everyone to leave the middle of the plenum and went to a hall nearby we were up there too essentially in the same place where the members of parliament were so they and their and their advisors and their parliament their parliamentary assistance and members of the media all there I have to say as an Israeli citizen I'm disappointed that the plenum itself is not a protected space to allow the important sessions of the Israeli parliament to continue to move forward maybe that's one of the lessons from this incident I say that of course without understanding the technical elements and the budgetary elements but I have to say I was surprised of course it's a it's a it's a poignant moment right Benita the contrast between Hamas that is sending these rockets to try to to end the lives of Israeli citizens and the contrast between that and and democratic business being conducted in the legislature democratically elected parliament and that having to be stopped because of the the rockets and the sirens overhead obviously a poignant moment another one over the course of this war but one that we all experienced and it has to be said in step of Israeli resilience after the siren after the 10 minutes of waiting ended the members of parliament went back in and right at it and we're back here reporting so of course our work all of our work continues to go on certainly is another message we were talking earlier about the messages from various leaders about resilience and about unity and you're seeing it right there business continues just a short while after the all clear is given and people come back from the shelter explaining exactly what the atmosphere is like there now as you say there are important messages right now the country has been waiting for assurances from leaders and when sirens sound it affects every single person including leaders of the country people have to respond and respond quickly yeah absolutely you mentioned the members of parliament themselves having to leave the plenum and again go to that hall where we all were yeah and obviously the contrast between what Hamas is doing and what Israel at least is trying to do which is continue to go about its business to continue to act through a democratically elected government and through a professional military we hear the the bells potentially calling members of parliament to to be back in the plenum and to be back at their work so again the work of this building goes on is just the work of this city in this country but the work connected to the war and the work of raising our children and caring for for grandparents and all of the rest thank you so much live from jerusalem senior diplomatic correspondent oan ultiman inside the israeli parliament thank you oan and still with me in studio ben drawer yamini senior journalist at yadiyot akronot daily you were talking a little bit earlier ben drawer about the international arena watching developments yeah how they might respond a little bit differently come a couple of weeks if there is an operation in gaza and if civilians are hurt as is always the case in a war but the international community right now is also watching a parliament emptied out in the middle of a session when leaders are talking about unity when leaders are talking about responding to a terror attack the likes of which many never imagined seeing in their lifetime talk to us about those polls you made mention of a little bit earlier when people see this this is extraordinary parliament stopped so that politicians could get to a shelter so that people could get to safety it's it's a very good point i just want to the people that are watching us i don't know london just think about the british parliament actually targeted just think about it just think about the capital targeted i mean how the country is supposed to react just think about paris the senate the senate is targeted by an entity a terror entity which is not far away from the center of the country from paris and they are launching rockets to the capital i mean how will you react i'm asking the people that are watching us do you want us to restrain ourselves do you want us not to react do you want to tell us proportionality what proportionality what are you talking about kids children were massacred they were burned alive think about it so you are asking us to be nice i don't want anybody to suffer i think azeran should retaliate only according to the lines of your international law don't misunderstand it but the international law and i'm a jurist i know what i'm talking about enable israel to do a lot but they are going to suffer i don't want anybody to suffer they are going to suffer but they are going to suffer not because of the israeli retaliation they are going to suffer because of the hamas that rejected any offer any offer to do something new which mean no more blockade but no more terror they refuse to all the international offers by the quartet by the e you by others and still people say and i read it now wow wow it's the biggest open air prison no it's not they put the hamas put their people in a prison it's not israel that put the people of the gaza strip in prison they put it and if you do not understand it you do not understand anything so here are the facts and the factors clear cut it's the hamas fault and only the hamas which is a terror and isis kind of organization people in the world should understand it i'm not sure that we israelis are doing enough in order to clarify it and i'm going to interrupt you because the intro once again you can hear ben draw his phone sirens or sounding once again this is breaking news live in tel aviv sirens are sounding in tel aviv that means that as we speak rockets are being launched from the gaza strip towards tel aviv yet again warnings have gone out alerting people to get to a shelter and to do so quickly you are looking at a live image on our screens right now sirens sounding alerting people to get to shelters in tel aviv this is a built-up residential city rocket sirens sounding in tel aviv in central israel right now it's the second time the alert has hit right close to where our studios are our newsroom is going through to the shelter right now ben draw yemeny is agreeing to stay on for this coverage and we now go as well for the latest update in the south i just hope that my wife does not look that does not watch because it's not going to be easy at all thank you very much ben draw yemeny agreeing to stay here but again it is his choice to stay here and not go through to the shelters right now i want to go to our correspondent mary macaul of she joins us from ashkelon mary what update have you got there what can you tell us hi benita yes we are still outside the area so the municipality building inside ashkelon behind me you can see this white van this is belonging to transportation minister mary reggae who just conducted a visit with some of the area some of the municipality workers employees to talk about them about what their relief efforts have been like how their aid has been in the city how they're dealing with trying to treat some of the injured and try and continue to try and deal with these rockets falling on the city while also trying to prevent the city but it's also one effort that's coming as we've heard many voices raised against the government many complaining that ashkelon should be part of the gaza border envelope and that's exactly what me reggae herself just said is that ashkelon is absolutely a border community and it should absolutely be treated as such which should include some extra compensation measures for some of the residents who are living in the city it continues to see many rocket barges overhead but we did hear this message from the mayor of ashkelon himself this morning he smoked in the knesset inside the israeli parliament which had a discussion from the finance committee in which he really attacked the finance minister and said ashkelon needs to be part of the gaza border envelope it is absolutely a border community so let's listen to some of the words that he had for the ministers there how long will i wait we're on the 10th day of the war they bought me five million shackles but i already spent 17 million shackles of my budget who should i wait for who's problem is that the residents are not protected mine what answers do you have to give to those poor people who apart from praying that a missile doesn't fall on them have nothing to protect themselves and stay alive all the rockets above them each time over a hundred launches every time there is a hit so as we can hear some of the emotion in the voice of that mayor again calling for more action from the government calling for more compensation for the residents who are living here who facing these rocket barges who have been forced out of their homes we've seen a number of rockets who have fallen inside the city at least 30 have fallen on ashkelon in the past week or so and about 25 percent this is according to early estimates about 25 percent of all rockets fired from gaza strip have been directed here in ashkelon so we are hearing voices from the local government calling on israeli's government to try and do more to protect these residents to give them further compensation to include them in these aid packages that have been going out to the border communities over 250 dollars to a single person and up to a thousand dollars for families so these are all done for the border communities they've also been helping some of the residents especially from sterile giving them is with government subsidized guest houses that they can stay in here in ashkelon they really haven't seen any of that they have seen some money that has been promised them but the mayor himself is saying so far they haven't received it the safety of communities in the southern border strip region needs to be prioritized there is absolutely no doubt about bat mary a little bit earlier on in the broadcast we spoke about the un relief agency for palestinian refugees and this unusual report suggesting that a un truck had been targeted and that goods meant for palestinian civilians and the gaza strip had been stolen any updates there any clarity on exactly what did in fact happen there that's right benita so this is very much a developing situation the un rwa itself so that is the agency that is responsible for dealing with palestinian refugees inside gaza strip in the west bank they say their compound in gaza strip they had to evacuate days ago and they have absolutely zero access to the compound itself they had security cameras outside that would normally be able to catch or at least show exactly who that is believed to have stolen this material again critical life-saving material from medical equipment to gas that can fuel generators in hospitals all of this has come in from this aid center said to have been stolen they said that they believe whoever took it was in some way related to the government in the gaza strip that is of course hamas but they really do not have any further information only coming out to really condemn those who ever took that in all of their agencies all of their age should only be used for life-saving purposes and to definitely not be used as part of the warfare that is going on live from ashkel on our correspondent mary macaul of thank you so much for that update stay safe mary and still in studio ben drawry amini senior journalist at the idiot akonaut daily and those sirens coming through just a short while ago in central teller there were also seeing alerts were sounding in rishon let's see on as well and i want to unpack exactly what that means for people who are watching abroad because it's something we've discussed throughout the show the international reaction to what is unfolding right now and because of the iron dome missile defense system the vast majority of rockets that come from the gaza strip towards residential civilian areas are intercepted having said that a short while ago we had the confirmation that a woman in holon a 54 year old woman is being treated she's injured due to falling shrapnel the dangers are serious yeah it is serious and just to remind us that many rockets cannot be intercepted and and people were killed a week ago for example even among the israeli arabs people were killed because of the rockets and there is no country that can live in that kind of situation for such a long time israel restrained itself once and again israel was asking was even begging okay let's have a ceasefire but they do not expect any kind of ceasefire and and the truth is they don't care about the welfare of their own people they do care only about this big ideology of let's kill all the jews let's kill all the christians and i'm speaking about something which they broadcast in their own official channel al-akta channel and people when people are not aware to what the Hamas is they think okay they are against the occupation or they are not against any occupation they are against the very existence of israel they are against the uh of the existence of the free world and they said they said mahmud az-zahar one of the leaders lately said it's not israel it's not israel it's very interesting because he said it in the tv channel of the hutis in yemen he thought that maybe no one no one is going to hear but he said he said it's not israel that we are looking for we need to islamize the whole world that's what he said just listen to him to that exact point antony blinkin is back in israel today i'm not sure exactly where he is when those sirens went off but he has been visiting jordan saudi arabia katar egypt buccane and the ua e you talk about the message being sent in yemen right now these nations are also watching what is unfolding right now as antony blinkin tries to garner more support for israel around the middle east what message does he need to be sharing right now as he comes back from the splits trip the message is it's not the war of israel against the hamas not at all it's the war of the free world that right now israel is in the front against the global jihad global jihad is the enemy of the muslims is the enemy of the free world is the enemy of a free one who wants to live in free conditions so it's not it's not israel against the hamas it's much bigger and the world should understand that it is much bigger yes israel in the front i just can quote an american philosopher who said said a few years years ago it's not the whole world it is israel just some of us do not know it yet ben draw yemeni senior journalist from the europe akronaut thank you so much for being here in studio and for staying in the broadcast during those sirens alert as well and i'd like to end with another quote from earlier on in the day president isaac hurtzog in parliament saying the hearts of the entire nation beat two one


So the thing I love about the hickory old-fashioned because it's true to the roots of the old-fashioned But you do are doing something very unique and kind of giving it your own twist Talk me through like how you came up with the whole presentation aspect of it Which I think just really elevates the string to another level. Yeah, there were well There was a lot of experimenting and eventually, you know I kind of settled in tying it all together with just having the smoke on top so that yeah There's the visual the visual presentation of when you take it off that you let the smoke go and it looks cool The smell yeah, but then you've got the smell which immediately gets your mind ready for the drink And then you go and you pick it up and you have a little bit of that oil from the smoke that has settled in the top of the glass And so you're actually tasting the fresh smoke that is tied into the hickory that's infused into the bourbon itself So you smell it and continually taste the whole center of experience Yeah, absolutely, and it really is and that's what drinking should be right It shouldn't be just sitting down and slamming a drink back and you know Trying to get some sort of a list of feeling out of the drink It should be sitting down and enjoying the drink enjoying the moment enjoying the company. It's a conversation piece It's you know, it's bringing people together. That's what drinking should be So what do you love most about being a bartender for me?  You're in there constantly getting to work on on new ideas and new combinations And you know, you're never you're never gonna completely create something. That's absolutely brand new But maybe you can make something that's different enough that you know allow somebody and just When I set a drink in front of somebody that's different and they taste it And I see the expression on their face that they like it. It's good and they enjoy it for me. That's like that's it That's what I want now It's chilly outside. You know, I can't think of a better drink to have than the smoke takery old-fashioned right here at the Royalton All right lightning round bourbon or rye. I'm a rye fan Shaken or stirred stirred Godfather part one or Godfather part two. Okay, this is where I'm this is where I'm like a bad like American male I've never seen it. Oh


We need an engine and fuel that not only gives you permission but energy to dive into your passions. For our clients, we want them to go on a mission, right? To create a mission of a goal that has to do with your passions. Because when you meet people, they're gonna ask you about you and you need a story about who you are. And if you don't have that story, one will be attributed to you. And that story will be attributed by behaviors and your presentation without any deeper thought than that. And that will be based on pattern recognition that people have.  And what comes with that is a lot of stereotypes and behavioral recognition patterns that people have to that person. Now, if I don't talk to people and I don't discuss my mission, that is going to be the picture they have in their head which is gonna create the story about me. And if they had bad experiences with those types of people, well, that's gonna be attributed to me as well. And what we're looking to do is to shatter people's perceptions so they have to create one based on who you are in front of them at that time. And this is why creating your story is so important. Specifically, a story that has a goal. In telling the story, it doesn't matter if you reach the goal or not. That's not what people are gonna remember. People are gonna remember where you are in that story and how they relate to it. So if I have my mission, and this is one that I had chose when I was living in Vegas for the first time, that I was going about making a record due to the songs that I wrote in a dark time during the beginning of the pandemic. That was a mission that I had chose. And when I moved to Vegas, people who earned that story that I thought were cool, I would tell them of what I was doing here and what I was working on. And people went out of their way to try to help me. Oh, I know this producer you gotta beat. Oh, I know this drummer you gotta meet. Oh, I have a friend who's got a studio that would love to help you out. And they were going out of their way to help me out. And not because this mission was complete, because this mission was not finished. And when you tell your story in a mission form, if it's not complete, it's stuck. People naturally go, how do we finish it? How do we get this done? And they go into their mind and their Rolodex to see how they can fix it. Because we operate on a problem solution oriented analytical mind. When that story happens, that's where people are gonna go. They hear the emotion in it and then they wanna help. So they're looking for a solution. This is what makes you memorable. This is what sticks in people's heads. Don't let fear hold you back from your passions and certainly not expressing those passions when meeting and connecting with other people. Now, one of the patterns we've recognized in a lot of our clients over the years is they have passions, but because they pursue those passions alone, as a lone wolf, they avoid talking about it in conversation with others or bringing it up. Whether that's rock climbing, whether that's hiking, mountain biking, whether it's your pursuit of the piano. Because you're doing it alone, because the passion doesn't involve other people, well, I can't bring that up in conversation, AJ or Johnny, like that's my passion. That's between me and myself. And what's interesting about that mindset is it actually holds us back, not only from connecting with other people who share that passion, but bringing people in to our life and our passions.


Punctuation Part 1. Using Periods and Commas Punctuation can be difficult, especially if English is not your first language. This video will deal with using periods and commas correctly. We'll focus on how to use these marks effectively in written English. Let's start with the basics. Periods are used to separate complete sentences. Commas are used to separate ideas within sentences. For example, Gary went to the post office. Period. This is a complete sentence. After he went to the post office, comma, Gary went to the bank. Spacing. After a comma, leave one space. For example, this is not correct. On the other hand, comma, space, this is correct. Leave two spaces after a period. For example, use periods correctly. Don't do this. Use periods correctly. Space, space. Do this. Do not put a space before a period or comma. Of course, space, comma, this is not correct. Space, period. Look at the drawing on the right. You see, period, space, space. comma, space. smiley face. Complete sentences. Use periods with complete sentences. For example, Gary eats a lot of candy. This is a complete sentence. For example, that is not a complete sentence. For example, comma, Gary eats a lot of candy. The for example is connected to the complete sentence. At the movies, that is not a complete sentence. At the movies, comma, Gary eats a lot of candy. Now it's a complete sentence. When Gary eats a lot of candy, that's not a complete sentence. It needs to be connected to something else. When Gary eats a lot of candy, comma, she gets sick. Extra words. Usually, extra words at the beginning of sentences can make them incomplete. Let's look at some examples. Gary eats a lot of candy. This is a complete sentence. When we add an extra word, when Gary eats a lot of candy, that makes it incomplete. The extra word, when, makes it an incomplete sentence. For example, when Gary eats a lot of candy, what? We need more information. The words need to be connected to another sentence in order to be complete. For example, when Gary eats a lot of candy, comma, she gets sick. Period. Complete sentence. Be careful. When you see an extra word at the beginning of a sentence, a comma is usually required after the first group of words. Other extra words are, because, if, before, after, since, as, and although. There are more words like this, but these are the most common ones. Groups of words. Introductory. When you put words or groups of words at the beginning of a sentence, before the main subject, a comma is usually required. In the evenings, I go swimming at the pool. Bob likes to swim in the ocean. However, I go swimming at the pool. Whenever I have time, comma, I go swimming at the pool. After finishing work, comma, I go swimming at the pool. Let's call these introductory phrases, groups of words, because they come at the beginning of sentences. Groups of words intermediary. Sometimes we put words or groups of words between the subject and main verb. In such cases, commas are required before and after the word or phrase. For example, Sam likes to swim in the ocean. Jen, comma, however, comma, swims at the pool. Sam, comma, who comes from Hawaii, comma, likes to swim in the ocean. Sam, comma, after he finishes work, comma, likes to swim in the ocean. Sam, comma, after finishing work, comma, likes to swim in the ocean. This one is actually better than the one before, because it doesn't have as many words. Let's call these types of phrases intermediary, because they come in the middle of sentences and interrupt the subject and verb. Groups of words, final position. When we use words or groups of words at the end of sentences, a comma is not always required. For example, Ron likes to serve in the evenings. No comma is required. Ron likes to serve after he gets off work. Ron likes to serve after getting off work. Ron likes to serve after work. Let's call these final phrases because they come at the ends of sentences. Can these phrases be moved around within sentences? The short answer is yes. In English, we can generally move phrases to different positions in the sentence. Just remember to keep the pronunciation rules. For example, after finishing class, Jill likes to watch TV. This is a phrase in the introductory position. Jill, after finishing class, likes to watch TV. This is a phrase in the intermediary position. Jill likes to watch TV after finishing class. This is a phrase in the final position of the sentence. These are general punctuation rules. You may find some special cases in which the rules don't apply, but most of the time you can be correct when following them. We encourage you to use a variety of sentence types in your writing to make it more interesting. For example, don't always put phrases at the beginning of sentences. That can become boring. Mix them up within your writing. More information in other videos. We deal with more punctuation rules in our other videos and web pages. Some things to watch for. Coordinators. For example, dad drinks coffee, comma, but mom drinks tea. Tammy drinks tea and coffee. Subordinators. Although dad drinks coffee, comma, mom drinks tea. Dad drinks coffee, although mom drinks tea. Sentence connectors. Dad drinks coffee, semicolon, however, mom drinks tea. Please check out the links to these videos or pages in the description below. Ready for some practice?

Ready to go? Here it is. Correct the mistakes with commas and periods in the following sentences. Feel free to stop the video and take as much time as you'd like for this quiz. When you're ready, we will show you the answers. Ready for the answers? Here they are. Number one, after working out at the gym, comma, Jeremy was exhausted, period. Two, actually, comma, no space between the word and the comma, I always use good punctuation, period. Although he was in class, comma, Tim didn't pay attention, period. If you play basketball, comma, you, lowercase y, might get hurt. I left my backpack at school, space, space. I had to rush back and get it, period. Marty, comma, after eating his dinner, went outside, period. Susie had some extra money, comma, so she went shopping, period. Perry finishes homework, space, before he watched TV. There's no comma necessary in this one. Because I was playing video games, comma, that first group of words is not a complete sentence. You need to connect it to another sentence. For example, because I was playing video games, comma, I had a lot of fun. You can use other words for the complete sentence. Number 10, I finished this exercise, period. I got them all right, period. These are two complete sentences. Sometimes you can combine them with the coordinator. For example, I finished this exercise, comma, and I got them all right.
