top it is fine morning to this fine Monday morning they still got their Christmas lights up there at the municipal office that's nice and what's that coming up behind me there i don't think the camera's quite picking it up there's sunlight on the horizon oh sunlight on my way to work it's a good sign it's going to be a good day well the light is still purple or you can tell in this daylight or the sort of this twilight what do you call this again just before the sun comes up twilight's just after the sun goes down right you see still purple wonder how long it's going to take them to replace that there's another purple one by town over there apparently the reason for that is the defect from the manufacturer so they've got to replace it send it back i've heard that they're all under warranty so i don't know what do i know we've got a 53 foot flat roll tight behind us trailer 602 the winter peg to a little town called tune on many of you know it well from my videos it's a little town there but quite a bit going on we'll load this trailer up and bring it back for our highway driver so he can start his log book from the yard and he doesn't have to waste the whole day off his log book going to pick up this freight i mean it won't take a whole day it's a noon appointment but i'm going up there now see if i can get him under or get loaded early usually i can get loaded by like 10 o'clock and be back at the yard for noon like our yard and then i i'm available to do another load this afternoon yet right make myself a little more useful that way these guys are pretty uh pretty good where i'm going usually they have their stuff ready early which is uncommon right uncommon usually you show up early or very often if you show up early to a shipper they'll kick you out of their yard because they're not ready for you yet and sometimes i get there early and they're not ready i never get kicked out of the yard i just go park out of the way but uh usually you know if i have a noon appointment he's usually got my stuff ready by which is great because he doesn't have to do that nice good guy see what happens today i mean if the yard is too plugged up with other trucks i can always go park in town 20 to 12 my appointment was at 12 so we get out of here early again that's good i'll be back with enough time to get some more stuff done today yet be really warm today actually like minus two for my american friends that's uh just below freezing so that's probably at 30 29 fair night i didn't even need my jacket today since we're into february already we only have like one or two more weeks of like a few nights being very cold and it's already starting to get warmer and warmer so the truck is running better freight is moving easier the trailers are working better all of our equipment works better we're just about over that hump to slide on down into summer even my trailer behind me is going to uh Fayetteville Fayetteville Fayetteville Fayetteville Arkansas Fayetteville arkansas bing bang boom done dropped now i'm bopdailing and i'm looking for a van trailer 50 68 i've got a whole bunch of freight and winnipeg we got some busy times here it's a busy monday so i have a feeling there will be more after this as well but let's fill this trailer up first 50 68 do you guys see 50 68 anywhere i don't know the fisheye lines doesn't really help does it 50 179 50 48 looking for a van that's 50 40 50 82 50 116 50 200 is it over there i don't know 51 51 52 100 50 60 we're getting close we're getting closer i can feel it 51 99 51 8 50 68 hey there little buddy i hope you're all cleaned out inside i'd be really nice if you were let's go take a peek real quick it should be clean inside if not we shall clean it oh compressed air compressed air lovely let's get this out of the okay i'm gonna have to take that second floor down then and clean up all these straps okay that is the opposite of what i was hoping to wait for me to set those floors up you can uh hold them back up onto the wall and it turns into a regular van trailer right oh another truck pulling over right beside me here at the same time i gotta go grab 52 100 instead cross on the other side here this one's not a floor trailer so i'm not expecting there to be a floor down but i might have to sweep it out we'll see they're supposed to be clean when they're parked here but sometimes it doesn't happen sometimes there's a good reason for that too so just do do what we can make sure that might need two hands to sweep you know i'm just picking up pallets and we're just bringing them here then that load is going to be uh spread out into different trailers anyway so i might be okay just like this for now i always bring the guns dork let's get out of here let's go pick her up we're rushed for this freight so that little bit of uh dust dirt and uh bits of wooden stuff very minor down there i'm not too worried about it they're going to load this freight in on pallets and we're just going to bring it here and it's getting split up into different loads so for now it'll be fine but when i get back later i'll sweep it out to the next guy we'll have a perfectly clean trailer to grab onto the reason we have it we need it so clean sometimes is sometimes you pick up food grade product or paper or something that needs to have a smooth clean floor for that you need to have a very clean trailer but what what we're doing now it'll be fine and i got my broom with me if i'm wrong we're supposed to have been loaded up we'll see what happens see if they load it up the whole trailer or if it was just just a little bit maybe just a little bit i couldn't quite hear them it's so noisy in there i couldn't hear what they're saying oh we got lots of room in here yet okay well i was told that if i have room to go load some stuff at the other side of the building all right i guess we'll go over there and see what they got for us over there second part of that load got cancelled so we're just going with what we got we had about 12 feet available at the back of the trailer almost 13 on the one side and we had about a little more on the other side you saw the pallets were a little uneven but i think all these pallets are coming off this trailer and being cross docked anyways and they're going to Surrey British Columbia has that highway opened yet the coca-cola and if not how is traffic getting through from low the lower mainland of Vancouver to Calgary or just Revelstoke or anything up there like how are they getting through there i think i heard someone say that they had one lane open was it kind of bottleneck there still or is there another way around someone who drives up there regularly let me know right now i gotta make this right hand turn and i uh i need the whole road including the lane here so i don't want to block it just yet just in case that people are turning like this guy here so i don't want to take his lane away from him and all of these people so i gotta let them pass and then wait for an opening here i gotta look around this school building and wait for an opening and then make my move there's another car coming there i'm gonna wait till after that car and we should be good unless if that car parks right in my way here now because of this traffic light they're gonna park right in my way aren't they okay wait nope now this van there's so many things to keep your eye on when you're driving a big rig through a city like this okay so i'm gonna go this way he's gonna move there we go good timing good timing there we go see a lot of being about a boom make that driver a little nervous at first there you go see no reason to be scared of us truckers we're okay we got you we're more scared of you than you are of us just remember that i would much rather be on a road filled with truckers than a road filled with just regular private cars so this is chalmers avenue i think that was elmwood school right there it's a little bit of a tight neighborhood to get into there's a very messy day here as well because we're close to the melting point the snow is starting to melt and it's just creating a big mess winter peg has got a lot of painted murals and the sides of buildings it's really neat to see whatever neighborhood you go into has different historical pictures painted on them all right now we've got to turn left here without freaking anybody out too much all right everybody okay you got your signal on i appreciate that i'm gonna give her then traffic works so much better when everybody follows the rules properly and uses their turn signals it's got to go nice and slow take it easy we're a 75 foot unit crawling through the tight streets here i mean europeans look at this and they laugh they think this is a big wide open freeway no to us here this is a very tight neighborhood i had someone comment on one of my videos last week asking you know why are trucks so long why do they have such long wheelbases in north america well mainly because it looks cool but also because you can fit a bigger sleeper on the truck then you can be a lot more comfortable so comfort is the main thing and when it comes to our roads our roads here are designed and built for longer wheelbase trucks like ours we don't need those tight little tiny little european trucks here they would work fine i don't know why they're not sold here like why don't we have uh scania and uh uh european volvo and man and all these european trucks why aren't they sold here it's not like the other way around when uh you know our trucks couldn't be sold in europe because they wouldn't fit on the roads but their trucks could be sold here but i'm pretty sure there's some big big CEOs and big money lobbying against that because then that would take business away from the american manufacturers making trucks here in north america so i get that you know we want to support our own local manufacturing plants here in north america and our own north american trucks for us america like united states is right next door so it's a lot easier logistically just to get our trucks from the united states if we would order them from europe well they'd either have to go over over by boat or we'd have to build manufacturing plants here in canada to build their trucks here sort of like we build uh like import cars here like that honda was assembled here in north america it wasn't assembled in japan it was designed in japan but it was made here right i don't know why we can't do that with european semi trucks i we have european cars on our roads all over the place i don't see any right now mostly japanese and american let's be honest but you know you get the european cars why can't we have european trucks i think it'd be interesting i don't know how well they would do though because they wouldn't be very popular here that people want the bigger space but anyways enough of me yapping just sitting here in traffic a lot of traffic all over the country everywhere you go traffic traffic traffic oh green light green light i may as well yapp for a little bit longer see if i can get around this corner before it turns yellow don't you dare don't you dare we're gonna need both lanes here bud thank you for realizing that appreciate that i'm just gonna whoa whoa that was close no just look that way we're good we're good the way the shadow was bouncing off my trailer caught me off guard a little bit we had lots of room you know if they had european trucks here in north america but customize them to have the longer wheelbase and bigger custom sleepers you know i think they could make some i think they could make some money with them here but like i said there's probably some pretty influential people lob lobbying against that that van trailer is going to be my friend tomorrow all day i have a load that's in it that's going to canora but tomorrow is supposed to be one big blizzard again so it's gonna be fun we'll see if we can even get out of the yard we'll wake up in the morning we'll look out the window we'll look at the weather forecast if it doesn't change from what the weather forecast is right now i don't know we're gonna be going out with it tomorrow or not there's supposed to be 80 kilometer an hour winds 50 mile an hour winds up to 14 centimeters of snow so that's six inches of snow or so i think somewhere in there six to ten inches of snow and whiteout conditions with visibility being reduced to zero at times according to environment canada so it's a good day to go to canora we'll see what happens with that we're gonna do our best we'll we'll get here without four-wheel drive i have every confidence in my ability to get here and get to canora i'm just nervous about all the other people on the road with me they make me nervous i guess we'll see what happens i'm gonna go park because we're done for today and tomorrow looks like as long as the weather will be okay it'd be an easy day just a van load into canora and back it would take half the day if i leave here by 7 a.m i'd be back like just afternoon or something but i guess to find out what's going on it's a whole load of drywall i'll show you it tomorrow that's that's tomorrow that's a tomorrow problem i'm not even gonna open the doors on that trailer right now and check on it that's a tomorrow problem all right today is over only worry about today let tomorrow worry about tomorrow otherwise you get all stressed out and oh tomorrow problem right there canora into blizzard it's me it's me stay down febby stay down stay down so hard hey so hard yesterday


now we are going to discuss attributes and functions of buying organization a retail organization ke andar buying is one of the backbone of a retailer jaha par uski strengths, operations hai, vaha par uski backbone buying hai so buying organization is the key in a retail function a wo buying organization ke kya attributes hai, usse kya functions hai let me take you through one by one usse pehle hai, the attributes and functions of buying organization ko if I see, so aap ke saamne, yeh ek khupsuraat sa diagram mojood hai which will explain you ke kya kya attributes hai or what functions they are involved and that is pertaining to buying organization so usse pehle hai, we will see ke level of formality kya hai how formal is that buying organization usme degree of centralization kitni hai either it is a centralized or de-centralized organization organizational ki breath kitni hai, personal resources kaun se hai, internal, external hai, kaun kaun se functions performed kya jata hai staffing kesthuri keshi ho ki so usse pehle, agar main baat kartha ho level of formality ki to ek retail organization ke andar jo usse pehle baat observe ki jati hai wo yeh ki define ki jati hai with respect to its functions kya either it is a formal organization or it is an informal organization to agar wo properly define ki gaye ho gha proper structure define kya gya ho gha starting from the top goes up till the bottom to then it is a kind of formal organization aur agar generally task assign kye gaye hoonge so then it is a kind of informal buying organization informal buying organizations ke andar there can be one or two resources but there is not a particular set organization define jo ke design karta hai ke ka aapka organization as a retail store buying organization is a formal organization or as an informal organization isi tari kese degree of centralization to aapki jo organization hai buying organization, retailer ki jo buying organization hai kya wo centralized hai ya wo decentralized hai to agar wo centralized hai iska matlab ye hai agar aapke retailer ke stores ek se zyada hai so hun tamam stores ki procurement unki buying kisi ek jaga se ki jati hai which means there is a headquarter aur there is a regional office that regional office is responsible to procure for all stores that is centralized approach aur decentralized approach ke andar kya ho gha aur normally in those cases ke andar jaha par shop ka honor kud hi buy kar raha hota hai it is a decentralized approach ya ek retailer her store ke andar apni procurement khut karta hai jo ke decentralized approach ke lati hai ke jaha pe store responsible hai khut se apni buying organization ka where the retailer is also where the store is also responsible to buy for the goods which he is looking for centrally marriage nahi ho ghi decentralized tari ke se ho ghi then operational breadth kithni hai important point hai buying organization ke perspective mein general ya specialized jab aap generally organizational breadth ki baat keringe so ye istharaan ke retail stores hai ke jaha par honor itself ek hi shakse hai aur wo tamam buying ka responsible hai khud hi buy karta hai supplier se khud hi manage karta hai tamam negotiations ko khud hi manage karta hai tamam assortment matters ko pricing matters ko promotional matters ko to ye general type of organization hota hai general type of buying organization hota hai agar specialized ki baat keringe to ye wo retailers hai jinn ki specialized teams hai specialized buyers hai who are responsible for all this assortment management category management and all these tasks so specialized agar team ho ghi other than the individual jokhe generally general organization ka issa hai to ye amare paas organizational breadth ko show karta hai pheer jo resources hai aap ke paas the personnel you have either they have internal resources they are external resources resident buying office ya cooperative buying to ki structure ko ki format ko we are following agar to jo resources hai they are from the internally from the organizations or their resources jokhe externally aap ne kisi ka saath contract ki aap hai 3rd party payroll ke upar hai ya you have a resident buying office ya normally ek aur behavior na deka hai jisko aap pool buying bhi kate hain ki group buying bhi kate hain ki group ke li buying kar li jaati hai they are normally through the buying houses pheer cooperative buying ka concept bhi hai again ka aap cooperative buying ke concept ko par to work out nahi kar rahe hain agar kar rahe hain so which means aap ka model jo hai personnel resources ke andar would be cooperative buying pheer hain baat karthe hain functions performed ki ke wo buying organization kisi function ko perform kari hai kya wo sif merchandising function ko dekh rahe hai ya wo buying function ko bhi dekh rahe hai to iss role ko abhi aap detail se anewali slides ke andar discuss bhi karte hain ke kya functions wo buying organization perform kari hai it is very important agar wo sif buying ka function kar rahe hai to usme kaun kaunsi cheez hain jo cover ongi kaun kaunse aspects hain jo cover onge aur agar wo merchandising ka role bhi kar rahe hain wo organization iska madhla bhi hai ke wo usme kaunse ase jobs kaunse ase tasks hain jo ke wo retailer karega aur phe last jo attribute humare paas hai that is related to stuffing to jo stuffing hain either they are the people are only buyers aur the sales managers jisko normally field operations manager bhi kaha jata ya field manager bhi kaha jata hain aur phear uske baad jo humare paas buyers hai but they are actually for merchandising iss tarha ke log ko retail organization ke andar merchandisers ya merchandising manager bhi kaha jata hain because they are the they are the person who are buyers but they are responsible for merchandising to hum discuss karte hain aap sabse pehle functions ke aspect mein aur usse pehle aap dekthe hain to Walmart ki example yaha given hain because Walmart jis model ko follow karta hain wo model hain inside buying organization ka which means they have inside organization buying organization they are developed in organization buying organization jo ke tamam Walmart ke stores ke liye procurement karte hain buying karte hain buying karte hain ab hum discuss karne lagin hain functions ke perspective mein to functions of that particular buying organization hum ne do perspective discuss kiye hain aek perspective hain merchandising view aur dosra perspective hain buying view to sab se pehle discuss karte hain merchandising view ko jab merchandising view ki baat karenge to all buying and selling functions are part of merchandising view yani ke yaha par jo buying organization hain they are responsible for buying function as well as selling function ab starting from the assortment then advertising and display your POS display wo pere skilawa aap ke employee ke utilization aap ke personnel ke selling approach everything is included as part of merchandising view jo ke yaha par dono buying function and selling function are included agar mein baat karte hain buying view ki yani ke jo organization ke jaha pe function is buying view yani focus on buying is taha ki organizations ke jo buyers hain wo buying ko manage krte hain kya kya options maujude hain buying advertising and they are responsible for pricing so all kind of negotiations are part of buying functions basic promotions they are part of buying function leke agar baat karenge sales function ki wo buying view ke nahi nazar aega ke case ke jaha pe buying view wo yaha par jo in store personnel hain they manage all other functions jisko baat krte hain either it is point of sale display wo baat krte hain staff ki utilization wo baat krne personal selling approaches yaha baat karenge assortment in the store management ki selling ke buying function wo manage nahi karenge then wo tasks which are merchandising versus store management ke career tracks in the staffing perspective this is an important point there are two types of tracks which are following in a buying organization if it is a merchandising track to a buying organization to top ke would be the merchandising manager and then would be buyer then would be associate buyer assistant buyer or buying specialist and so on so merchandising track starting top is merchandising manager because buying and selling both functions are manager if we talk about store management track assistant store manager in the same way sales manager and then assistant sales manager normally a track starting point would be assistant or the supervisory level and goes up till the store general manager or the divisional manager level so retail buying organization when we talk about attributes or functions so we cover almost every single aspect beshak wo merchandising wo selling view buying view beshak wo formal organization informal organization beshak wo centralized wo decentralized wo so we have to keep all factors into consideration before defining our complete retail model


So what do you do with the, use them for cooking. So when we're cooking chicken dish, for example, if you're roasting some chicken or cooking in a pot on a pan, like with potatoes and you can use plums and apples and pears, you can put it all in there and then take a handful of these and just sprinkle it on top and then cook it with that. It gives the chicken an amazing tangy flavor. You can use it for meats as well. Okay, and we do. Or you can with ground beef to make the dolmatis, dolma, the inside of the dolma, you mix whatever you're doing.  Like dolmas, you take the ground beef and we roll it up in grape leaves, right? And the inside is the unripened grapes and it gives it an amazing tangy flavor, an amazing tangy flavor.


Good morning, I'm Mary Ellen and I'm here today to do my 10 favorites from the year 2023 And this is a collaboration that I have done with Natalie the beauty diva and Carol from the old Carol show. I did two of them This is the 10th one I've done and I did my first two were solo The next seven were with Carol and Natalie Carol didn't get to last year something came up and Something has come up that's out of Natalie's control and she can't do it this year And this has been always been my favorite video to film and it just I'll talk about why Natalie isn't doing this with us later in the video because I need to get through this I want to tell you a little bit about Carol Carol is I gave her the name queen of cool She is the queen of cool. I Enjoy her so much. I love her channel I found Carol before I even started my YouTube channel and to me She was like magical and what's so funny any time she sees something that's like Wonder something or magic this or magic that she is right in there give getting it I just love her and I hope you go and watch her video and go back What you can do is if you go to YouTube just type in the name like Old Carol show in the YouTube search bar and that will bring you to her channel page And if you go down you can just click on video and then there's several options You can either do the most popular the most current or the oldest and it'll show you a list of the videos Or that's what it used to do things change all the time But like I like to go back and watch people's older videos It's fun for me to except for myself, but I do keep them up there. I do have only removed two videos Since I started just go watch Carol and enjoy her like I do and Yeah, she's she's wonderful. I have three winners of a hundred dollar e-gift card that I will announce later in the video And I've got to talk about my very first one This was truly my favorite and the rest of them aren't in any particular order. I Start getting this List together in January and I've made rules for myself throughout all these videos that I've done throughout the years It has to be something I purchased myself And I can't repeat from year to year because believe me there's some things I would repeat every single year Well, a lot of companies collaborate with these young beautiful youtubers to make specific products palettes, I mean it's something that is done quite often But the only company that I've ever known that has done the collaboration with somebody from the mature beauty community someone over 60 is Sydney Grace and they did it with my friend Mary glitzy fritzy What I know most about Sydney Grace is what I've learned from Mary and some other beauty youtubers She did like 26 videos on Sydney Grace Sunday and Sydney Grace is a company that if I put a link down to her company Creators do not make a sense if they have a 15% discount Code for you. They don't make a cent from that. I've heard so many wonderful things about Sydney Grace I knew I was gonna buy a pallet Mary told me she they had asked her to collaborate And I thought well, I'll wait and I will buy Mary's pallet Well, I can consider these purchased because I purchased quite a few and gave them away So now they get to fit in my criteria. It's called the blessed pallet. She designed the cover She has a light. I'm gonna put in photos because I won't do it justice and the dark It's beautiful. She named the shade. She made the shades. She would mix and match and come up with shades They're all Wonderful and I want to put a link to her video where she announces and talks about the shade names and the shades But the first one is my savior and be a blessing and so on and so forth and right here is me after 60 that's for me and Today I have a little bit of me after 60 here in the corner. I have pizza Up there. I have some Irish heat on my lid some sugar tiger and I know what all these names represent and Be a blessing. So I did a whole look today for me. This is big Using Mary's shadows. So it's definitely my favorite of the year and What else can I say? My and the next favorite is from BK Beauty and it is a specific brush. I really do like all of her brushes Lisa Jay makeup started to company quite a few years ago called BK Beauty and To me I've used my own brushes that are a lot more expensive than these and these are pricey But they're so different and worth it I have two of them and I bought these this I use when I want to use powder But just like powder concealer or get into certain areas It's the only brush that I have ever really really liked to go in that this area Because my finger, you know, it's not working as good as it used to be as far as you know Getting in there. I Love the shape of these This one I use when I put on concealer which the last month I've used concealer at two or three times and I haven't used it for five years But this brush made it easy if these were designed by Angie from hot and flashy She had a brush set that she made that were made specifically for older women and it's just wonderful and I love it I'm gonna try to get through this next one pretty quickly, but it's earrings I have not had a new pair of earrings for a long long time Because I only wear 14 got care gold or 12 karat gold I can wear sterling silver for a little bit and I have tried many hypoallergenic earrings and Also stainless steel surgical saying the stainless steel, but anyway Jim said I really want to get you something for your birthday He said pick out some things and I'll you know decide what he wants to get me Anyway, I have been wanting some new white gold earrings and I wanted some huggies Well, most of my jewelry that I purchased was in the 80s and in the 90s and I think like in around 92 or something like that. I think gold was Maybe $34 a Troy ounce and a Troy ounce is what they used to weigh gold. That's just the raw gold It's not the finished product a Troy ounce is like 31.1 grams and a regular ounce is 28.3 just just for reference Well gold is now five or six times higher than it was in 92 and the price fluctuates so what you could buy back in the day you could get a substantial earring for a Hundred two hundred dollars and all the earrings that I have I've had for years and I'm not a trendy person I pretty well like the classics and if I bought it, I will still like it in the future Well, I got to show you the earrings that I got and I'm gonna put a picture of me wearing them right here Because they're gonna be hard to show When Jim saw these he was so disappointed They are very small, but they are exactly what I wanted. They have a hinge and Then you just pinch it shut and it just hugs your ear and They are actually Substantial, they're not like they used to be back in the day But I have seen some that felt like it was just ten But there is a little bit of weight to these but in the past when you'd buy gold You would always know exactly how much gold was in the product that you're purchasing I can't find that anywhere that I used to know how much something would weigh But I love them. They're five millimeters wide and 13 Millimeters across and they're very comfortable and for me. They're just perfect. I have never liked body lotion or Body better. I will use it for the scent. I have some really nice Soldage narrow products Daughter-in-law got me some lovely body better last year and I do like to put it on But I usually put it on the inside of my arm I don't like the way it feels so therefore I have to have something in the bath that Doesn't dry my skin out so I found something this year that I like and it is It's not cheap, but it's a lot less expensive than a lot of the products I've purchased in the past Jim will laugh He'll say you'll spend this and this for that but don't waste paper towels I am probably the least wasteful person that I know other my mom's gone. She was very not wasteful But this is I think it's pronounced neaterium the glow getter multi oil body wash and One of my viewers and I think it was Nancy told me about this and it is lovely. It has a nice scent But it is an oil to gel formula that is intensely nourishing So I have this in my rotation and you can buy them anywhere But I will any product that I have I will put in a link below and if you buy from that link I will make a commission that's in most cases some some things you don't but in most case I want you to know that but it has really made an impression on me and it's a good impression The next item are sheets and these are the hotel direct I believe is what it is and several of you told me that you bought them and you really really like him and They're the bamboo sheets and I hope you can feel how luxurious they are in my bed There's always three pillows and I have two with this fabric and I still use a silk pillow case And I probably wouldn't have to but it's just have it I've done it for years and years and years, but it just feels so good on your body And I have not put on different sheets. I will wash these and put them back on I haven't ordered a second set But tell you the price really varies I when I looked to make sure they still had them and that day The price was fifty seven dollars for a queen size and they're wonderful And I am giving away some of my other sheets and once I've given those away I will order another pair, but that's how much I like them because of these it kind of made me open my eyes Two different fabrics in sleepwear and I love the bamboo the viscous or viscose I'm not sure which one it is and I have three nightgowns that I bought and I will put pictures of them up here the one that's kind of a magenta color is in the wash, but This is one I've got a black one and For my birthday. I got two pairs of pajamas One of them is blue and the other is gray and the grays in the laundry And I'll put a picture in to show you what they look like, but I love the fabric It feels oh It just feels so good. It doesn't make you hot doesn't make you cold. It's just really perfect for me So feel when you go someplace, which I don't like to go shopping I do not like to go shopping never have but if you ever get someplace and you see some bamboo or viscous or viscose Check it out and see what you think, but I love it. The next item is my nightstand I never thought that I would like it as much as I do. I needed a nightstand I took the measurements of this nightstand that I needed because I'm gonna have a CPAP and I needed Storage next to my bed and so on and so forth I wanted something that was up on feet on legs and I thought I don't want to go shopping I do not want to go in and out look so I put the dimensions I wanted in just the search engine and I how taught the height wasn't as important and Wayfair came up and I had never ordered anything from Wayfair and I'm so impressed with it Of course, it isn't real wood. It's black. That's what my tree's sitting on right there. It impresses me I don't I mean it really did impress me and I don't impress easily. I couldn't believe how well it came packaged I had it, you know, it was all put together and I may order something the next time and it may not be good But I could not be more impressed with something and I think the price for me to get it home at the time Was two hundred and eleven dollars. It's something that I found this year and they are rechargeable lamps I have one at my bedside because sometimes you just need a little bit of a light I have one on the other side of the bed. I have one in the living room and they're like this This is not my style But it's very but it's functional and I like the function of it But you recharge it and you just tap it once twice three times and it's out and it has really come in handy and has a USB port that you just plug in I don't know how long it says it's but I don't leave mine for a long time But they're so easy to charge Well, I had got two of these and I found one a little bit later that was prettier and I know I paid less than twenty dollars for these I think the the first ones I showed you they were Probably they were a pair and they were maybe fifty some dollars at the time But I know I paid less than twenty dollars and it's this little lamp and this isn't real glass But it does it looks like it is and you just touch it once Twice goes down three times high and in there. I couldn't be happier with them I know flashlights work, but this makes me happy In fact anything that makes me happy is a beauty item for sure The next thing is something that's pretty functional. It is very functional and it's not pretty but it works and it is a Towel holder for two hand towels when I moved in here in 1991 in this house that was built in 1891 it was an office and I wanted a bathroom. I'll put a link to a video I'll put it above and I'll put it below if you watch it just kind of fast forward Just go through and it is a video because I hate watching it myself, but I love my bathroom so I have a shifter open there that has the Four drawers and then it's high and then I have shelves in it and I wanted something for my towels So I got this I ordered this and the reason I got this color is I just didn't want it to be Pretty I just wanted it to be functional So what's nice about it when you have guests when people come over You just tell them when they go in the bathroom the towel in the back is for a guest because you know I'm not gonna buy paper I'm not gonna do that But anyway every other day I switch out the towels and take them out and I bought four of these towels And they're a hundred percent cotton, and I really like them. They've been washed and dried to death It just serves such a purpose. It's so much better than having two towels on the vanity. I just like it So when I build had that bathroom built. I didn't have to buy much for it I had the bathtub it came from my home growing up and it's six or seven Generations and my family that are bathed in that cloth at bathtub I had an desk that used to be in the emergency room that Was wooden with the black glass top it has pull-out shelves that the doctors would sit and write the prescription It's a storage cabinet, but I really like it And then I had a feigning couch and then I had a shiferobe at the time I had room for a separate bidet and a toilet But I decided I wanted the other things first, you know You never know if you get sick. I have a feigning couch Well, do you know that nobody's ever been on that feigning couch other than my grandbabies when I'd sit and put a towel down and change their Diaper so I kind of mixed that idea probably five or six years ago I started thinking about a bidet for my toilet. Well, I've heard from I mean Mary glitzy frizzy Absolutely loves her bidet. In fact her boy her men and her family She she didn't have the bathroom to herself anymore because they like it too when Jim Jim had his hip replacement We have we have three bathrooms in this house one upstairs and two downstairs and the back bathroom had a tall toilet And I knew after he had that hip that he would need one in the front bathroom And at that time I started to buy a toilet and a bidet, but I was it it was quick I had to do it quickly because I didn't think of it soon enough Well, I bought a skirted toilet and they're different and I'll put a picture of my bidet in here But I absolutely love it. Don't know what I would do without it I had a pacemaker put in and this was November 7th And I'll talk more about that in a video that I do in January, but I'm good I'm doing fine for several weeks before I had the surgery. I requested the post-op instructions I wanted to know what limitations I would have post-operatively Well, when he said absolutely no showers for four weeks I'm gonna get a bidet because I could not stand the thought of not being able to wash myself And it's wonderful to use but like when you are giving yourself a body wash You know without being in the bathtub or in the shower You can just sit there, get your bottom wet, soap it up, rinse it off And I tell you why it sure makes you feel clean Or the other thing I thought about is like if you if you'd ever have something wrong with your arm If you couldn't reach I I love it. I love it. I didn't I mean it's late into the year But it definitely I mean I couldn't wait to next year to tell you about it because it's wonderful I believe I paid and when I went back and looked of course it's a lot cheaper I think mine was $356 it has quite a few different features on it And I had $150 in e-gift cards and I used that and it doesn't take a plumber to put it in Anybody that's handy can do it because you don't have to replumb anything It's a little different if you have a skirted toilet And also you don't want to make sure that if you have an elongated seat But one of the nice benefits is the seat is always warm One of the reasons I picked the one I did is because it has a remote control right here And I didn't want it on the wall and I want I keep it in a drawer In the cabinet right in front of the toilet But it has rear it has front it has vortex where mine is made by biobaday There are tons of makers out there I have no idea how long this will last The only thing I don't like about it I don't know I don't know why they have the black knob on the side There's three different buttons on that black side you don't have to have the remote But it's it's nice and there's a dryer it it makes me wonder why I waited so long to do it And it definitely saves you money on toilet paper And my last thing is the soundcore earbuds they are what they're wonderful I think they're around thirty dollars I have the apple that are a hundred and some dollars I have another pair that I ordered from qbc I can't remember the brand but they're good I mean my apple ones are good the other ones that I ordered that I think they were around 75 dollars but these are wonderful they fit great I mean I'm not listening to the New York Symphony with these on so I you know I'm not like super knowledgeable on the quality of sound but they work for me and then I ordered these came in a great big set I mean a set of probably eight or nine but what I will do around the house or like going to appointments I'll just put this around my head I'll put it around my neck and put this in and that way I don't lose them and because that's happened before I will drop one sometimes I forget to take them out sometimes I think I have one in and I don't but the only thing I did wrong was I should have ordered a not in black because number one if you drop one it's harder to find number two if the inside of your purse is black they're hard to find the light would show up better Natalie has been my friend since the very beginning of my YouTube career we clicked immediately in fact Jim and I went to Montreal and I spent we went out to dinner with Natalie and her boyfriend the next day Natalie and I spent the day at her home and just had some wonderful time together so I feel very close to Natalie she's always been wonderful wonderful woman all of a sudden unbeknownst to her her channel was closed down completely she cannot get into her channel she said she can contest this decision in 90 days she doesn't have access I asked her what I could do what we could do and and there wasn't anything she said that anybody could do other than her just wait for 90 days she is heart sick and I am heart sick for her she can't even watch her own old videos and she cannot comment on videos I don't I don't know it just it literally breaks my heart and Natalie knows there's so many of my viewers love Natalie and and I do too so Natalie I know you're out there and anything I can do you know I will now I want to announce the winners of my last giveaway this month I gave away three one hundred dollar e-gift cards to wherever I can get them or a hundred dollar deposit to a PayPal account and these are funds that I use myself I always save a certain percent of what I made doing YouTube to give back to y'all because if you didn't watch my videos or use my links I wouldn't have a YouTube channel I wouldn't make any money the first name drawn was Karen Batnik congratulations Karen you were the first winner chosen the second winner was Elaine F congratulations Elaine and the last winner is Mint and her name is Sharon congratulations Sharon congratulations to all three of you to make sure this is not a scam I mean I don't know I will always reply on my page and have you send me an email and then I will reply to your email and have you go back and leave another comment so I know it's you so anyway that's kind of what I've done to be safe because there's so many scammers out there I will be back in January sometime and I might tell you some of the 20 that did not make the cut of the top 10 I don't know but it was hard it was really hard to do that I appreciate you all so much I think you know how much I appreciate you I learned from you I loved reading all of your comments about what you looked forward to in December it makes me happy it is all good with God with me it is all good and I will see you in my next video take care no it isn't I didn't break that rule okay but but I will I will cut I will talk about it her channel page this one I use when I and also like her found I always have them oh my gosh they do


My name is Irina Reshodko. I'm originally from Kazakhstan, from Astana. I had my undergraduate degree in Moscow, and then I moved to Tokyo, Japan, as I was hired by a Japanese company, right from, right fresh from the university. So I worked in mainland Japan for about two years, and then I moved to Okinawa. Worked there for a year and a half or so in a company called Ryukyu Network Service. I already was living in Okinawa, and I really love Okinawa. So having such an advanced international university in Okinawa was a real surprise, a very, very good surprise, and a source of amazement for me. I came to this university, there were people from all over the world, and it did feel like, since all these people come here, must be something very good about this place, that caught my attention a lot. My PhD is in theoretical quantum physics. Maybe as some people heard, that quantum physics works with very small things. At a normal, very, very low temperatures as well. And my field is in extreme side of it. It's a very low temperature, few body systems. In lower dimensions, dimensions are one-dimensional or two-dimensional. Although it kind of sounds that it's very theoretical, actually it just means that the other dimensions, additional dimensions are just so constricted, that most things are happening just in one dimension. For example, you can imagine a tube, something like that. And I've been working on analytical solutions of some mathematical models that are useful for cold atomic physics, quantum information experiments. My life during OIST, it was actually quite good social life here, campus. Student life is in general, it's very full of interactions with people, you have a lot of friends, and they all leave like two minutes from you, or next door, there is constantly some gatherings. I enjoyed a lot of these activities actually, and clubs popped up. So I did capoeira with my friends here. I worked in the garden with some people. I also played some board games and role-playing games with my friends, so that was very fun. For the moment, I'm working that way, and I really enjoy my time there. The company has the driving simulator, the traffic school attached to it. The driving simulator is not a simple one, it's actually a real car, which is rigged and connected to the computer, and is sitting in a VR room with the projections that aim actually at all the mirrors at appropriate angles. So once you're in the car, you actually feel like you're really in a real car, and there's also a motion system that tweaks the car's position a little bit. And the problem that I'm trying to solve with my team is to implement and develop theoretically and implement this artificial intelligence driving teaching system that will be able to monitor student performance and all the manures they're trying to execute on the road and give feedback appropriate online while they're driving and offline as a debris field as well. So my PhD topic itself has nothing to do with my current work, but the PhD training has a lot of skills that I'm using right now. I have no trouble changing field right now because I already have experience doing that and I know how to learn new field. In a future plan, I wanted to make my own company. One of my big dreams is to get involved with the space industry somehow. Ideally make a company that does something with space because I'm very interested in space exploration. Yeah, the field that interests me the most is the space resource utilization. That means getting resources from space. There are lots of extraterrestrial sources of water, like the moon, the asteroids. And my big dream is to be able to mine those asteroids for water and provide propellant on the orbit so we can have deeper space missions and missions to other planets and colonies eventually.
