got to film an intro for my camping video. I just went right into the camping video.  I cannot wait to share all of our fun adventures with you. We're actually heading up to Priest Lake, Idaho, which is gorgeous, like absolutely, positively a gorgeous, gorgeous place. So I'm gonna take you guys with me.  So if you wanna see all about what I ate for camping, how I stayed on track, what I ate when I wasn't on track, and just a little bit of fun with my family, all you have to do is stay tuned. So we're packing up our food to go camping. So I'll show you a little bit of what we're bringing with us. So we're bringing some snacks, some tortilla chips, some cheese at snap, of course, more stuff. So marshmallows, chocolate, graham crackers, bringing some snacks for me to stay on track today and Saturday. So I have some smart sweets, these new P-trings you guys are so good. My code is Jen Clayton for free shipping. There is a link down in the description box. So definitely love me, the P-trings and the gummy bears. I'm bringing some of my prots from my protein wise haul. Again, there's a link for that down in the description box as well that will get you $10 off your first order. I got these snacks at my WW workshop. I had never ate them. So I'm gonna bring those and the roasted chickpeas. Dove, of course I'm bringing a bill bar. I already had one today. So this is for Saturday on my way home. This is the cinnamon chocolate cream. Again, down in the description box, 10% off free shipping with the code JENSWWJourney2019. So that's a staple to bring.  Some syrup because we're gonna have blueberry pancakes for breakfast on Friday. Picked up some fun brown butter toffee cookies. Grits, we need these for our crackers, meat and cheese, grilled beans. We're gonna do this with some burgers on Friday. Of course, condiments. So light mayo, regular ketchup, no sugar added ketchup. We're gonna do hash browns on Saturday morning for breakfast. Picked up some French onion dip. That's to dip the chips in. Of course, butter. We need that for cooking in general. Here is the salami that I picked up for cheese and crackers. Sausage for Friday morning. Remember Friday, I'm not tracking. It's my weekly day. So that's why we are having the higher calorie things on Friday. Of course, eggs. Grab some cheese for our burgers.  It's delicious. This is for the cheese and crackers. Saturday, we're gonna have a healthy bacon. So we'll do this uncured turkey bacon. Tonight, we're gonna do hot dogs.  Big burger patties for Friday night dinner. Little smokies. We love cooking these on the fire. So fun. I'm also bringing my leftover salsa to have with the tortilla chips. I like bread and butter chips on my burger. So I grabbed those. And then just some cooking spray salt and pepper. So look at all that. Hole mole. And then over here, blueberries and strawberries and hot dog and hamburger buns. So that is a lot of food.  And somebody is very excited to go camping. Are you excited, buddy? Yeah, you're so excited. So we rented a truck for our camping trip because we no longer have one. We actually have my car, which is an SUV and then my husband has a Jeep Wrangler. So we decided to run a truck thinking that it would be large enough to not only haul the four wheeler, which as you can see, we have the four wheeler, but large enough for our entire family, two dogs and two people. But look at this. We literally look like the clampets. So we've got our four wheeler back there. We've kind of shoved things in every nook and cranny. We have wood, totes, and then we even left the back seat open as much as we could for diesel. So we put sheets down because if you have a lab, you understand that they shed a lot. So there's chairs under here. We actually had to throw our cooler in our bag for our clothes. So yeah, it's going to be a full ride, but we are super excited. All we have left to do is basically strap everything down and then we are on our way. Handsome diesel.  You got your own back seat, Lola.  Lola, look at mama. She's looking at her dad. Lola, you ready to go camping? All right guys, we're going to hit the road. We are about to hit the road. We need to stop on our way out somewhere, grab some ice at a gas station, but the whole family, Lola is about to hit the road to head camping. So, oh hi, I know. So I'll take you guys along with me on this entire trip. We're going to ride our four wheeler. We're going to have ice cream, go on a walk, super excited. Someone's lips are flapping in the wind and he's happy as happy can be. So here's the cabin that we're staying in. It is so cute. It's called the Grizzly. It is super, super cute. I'll take you guys inside and show you, but we are just getting unpacked. We just got here. So I'll take you guys in and show you, but it's super cute. It has power and heat, but it does not have a bathroom or really a kitchen. So it's pretty basic, but it's super cute. So there is this whole area over here, sort of as a kitchen. So there's some shelving. It's kind of dark. Sorry, there's a cute little bench there that you guys can sit at.  We brought some blankets of our own, but there's actually a log bed. That's where Tori and I'll sleep. And then this is super cool. If you have kids, there is a whole entire double bunk area with those cute little benches and there's a whole set of bunks over here as well. And this is cool because it has a door so you can keep yourself private if you wanted to keep your kids separated. So super cute in here. It's just gorgeous. Look at that. Absolutely positively gorgeous. We are so excited to sleep on a bed and not have to be in a tent. Diesel is in heaven. All right, guys, get it. Oh, go buddy, go. He's so happy and the water is pretty cold, but he doesn't mind at all. She's pretty not interested in going in the water. But dad's throwing sticks. Here's the lake. It's super pretty. Really, really pretty here. It's super windy, but are you happy on the beach? Yeah, well, you wanna go in the water? You want to? Come here. You can go in the water. Come on. Come on. Do you like your private bed, buddy? He's pooped. He just had that really fun time swimming down at the lake and someone else copied her brother and came in and laid on the other bunk bed. I have everything all nice and organized so I have all of my dry food and then Lola's little sweater, which I love. Camera, sticks to roast marshmallows. We've got our nice little area set up here. So this is like our kitchen area. We've got our cups, plates, silverware. I've got some nice bowls with lids and then of course coffee. So there's no plug in in here, but there is in the vehicle. So I'm gonna be brewing some coffee in my car tomorrow. Dog treats and then we have a little shelf here that has all of our cleaning supplies on. So this cabin is awesome. Our food cooler is down there. And then out here, we just have put our drink cooler and then our camp stove and then Troy stacked all the wood and put our chairs out here in case it rains. Hey guys, we just got settled in to our camper. So I'm gonna have a little bit of a snack. I'm actually like friggin starving. I've hardly eaten anything today. So I went ahead and I cut up some strawberries and there's some blueberries in there. So I'm gonna have that. And then I'm also going to have the WW chili lime quinoa strips. They're okay. They're a little bit spicy.  And then of course I have my cute little pink camo Coosie and my orange vanilla Coke. So, so far today, I ate my breakfast meal prep for four. My coffee was one, so that's five. I had a built bar for three. So that's eight. And then for lunch, I literally had a quest bar. So that puts me at 12. And then I had a sweet nothings that puts me at 13. And that's all that I've had today. So my quinoa strips will put me at 15. So I'm only at 15 out of 33 points. And for dinner, we're gonna cook some hot dogs on the barbecue. So I'll be able to have hot dog with a bun. And then I have some chips. And I don't know what else we will see. And then I'm trying to save a little bit of room in my budget of points so that I can have at least a marshmallow tonight and save my s'more for tomorrow. So everything's going good. It's a decent day. It's not hot. It's about 60 degrees, which is actually perfect. And we just came back from the lake as you saw. So we're gonna get everything settled, unload the four-wheeler, and then we will grill up some hot dogs for dinner and just chill by the fire.  Of course, I'll take you with me if I do. So, so far, we are having a fabulous time. All right, guys, I'm on the four-wheeler. I'm gonna take you guys on just a little ride around the park, show you kind of what the camping area looks like that we're staying in. And then we may go on some trails if we can find some. But I'm gonna flip you around and show you Presley State Park. So right outside of the state park are these little dirt roads. So once you exit the state park, you're free to ride your four-wheeler around at a higher speed than within the state park.   It's been a while since I've been able to go out on a little four-wheeler ride, even though we can ride in our neighborhood, super fun.  So I'll show you what I'm having for dinner. Hey guys, I'm back at the cabin. Let me just tell you, we are loving having this cabin. It is so nice. It is so much better than a camper. We had a camper that we sold last year and I will never go back to a camper. This is so much better. So Troy is on his ride. I'll try to get some footage of him when he comes back. So I just got done brushing diesel. My goodness, that dog sheds. Lilith's here on my lap. And there's Diesel. He's watching for Troy to come back. So that's generally what happens when his dad is gone. He sits there and watches for him. So I'll try to grab some footage of Troy when he comes back, but the cabin life is the way to go. There's dad, bud. There he is. He's coming. Troy's coming back. Diesel sees him. See if I can zoom in on him. Oh yeah. There he comes, buddy. So here is my dinner for tonight. I have some more blueberries. So this will be my second fruit for today. And then I've got some of the Mission Tortilla Strips. These are them. These are actually really, really good. I love them, even by themselves. So I have a serving of those for four points. And then I have a one hot dog bun for three points and one hot dog for one. So that's four for the hot dog, four for the chips, eight points. So that puts me at 23 points. I'm gonna have another hot dog and some marshmallows. So this is going to be a perfect dinner. And then I also have a bottle of diet tea. So this is my camping dinner night one. So look at mom. Hi, baby. Lola. Lola, are you done camping? She doesn't really like it. Lola. Whoa. Diesel. Hi, buddy. Did you hear that crow, the wings? I know. Hi, guys. Are you guys having fun? Say we went on a walk to the store. Yeah, we did all that already today. Troy's out riding the four wheeler. So we decided to come in the cabin. Hi, buddy. You shake? Shake, mama. Diesel. Oh, good boy. Better you having fun? Yes. And she's been ready to go home for quite a while. So we wrapped her up and they've been taking a little nap and then we'll take him down to the lake and we're having a really good day so far. Hey guys, it is about 11 o'clock. We've already walked. The dogs have walked twice. We went to the store to get some dish soap to clean the pan that our nice neighbor let us borrow. And I've ridden down to the lake and checked my phone. We don't have any service unless we are actually down at the lake. So that's why you won't hear from me much or anything. So I just try to film when I can. But it's been really fun. We're gonna take diesel to go swimming. We're gonna play some UNO. It's kind of our jam when we can't. But day two so far has been a lot of fun. The sun is out. So we're just gonna enjoy our day. I'll be back to show you guys what I'm having for lunch. Sorry, the clip of breakfast was a little short. My memory card filled up. So I moved on to the next memory card. But yeah, so far camping day two's been awesome. Good boy, bud. Good boy. Yeah, that's a good dog, buddy. Oh yeah. Yeah. Hello, the loose. Hi. Oh, bubba. Look at all that, buddy. Good boy.  I know. Hot handsome. Oh yeah, show dad. Show dad you're soaking wet. So cute. That's a big stick, buddy. Yeah, tell daddy, say throw my stick. Bring in your, oh bubba, that's huge. Oh, good boy, buddy. Yeah, you take a eddy stick. Oh yeah. Good boy, bud. For lunch today, we've got some rits.  I bought these little salami rounds so it makes it really easy to do cheese and crackers.  So this is gonna be lunch. So it went from sunny to hail.  Yeah, we went from sunny to this, guys, sunny to this. And the sun is back in a matter of 15 minutes. Not that we're complaining, we're happy that the sun is back. Currently happening, we're playing Uno and she's snoring. Say hi, buddy, say hi. We just got done roasting some marshmallows, had some s'mores, the dogs are so ready to go in. So we're gonna go ahead and head in to the cabin, maybe play some more cards, but with a super fun day. Did you crawl right into bed the minute you got in the cabin? You sure did, she's exhausted. He's in here, he's can't see him very well, but he crawled right into his bed too, the minute we got in the cabin. So we are in for the night. This cabin is awesome. Another fun day in the books, it's about nine o'clock. We just came into the cabin, we're just gonna chill, relax, maybe play some cards and put some pajamas on. But yeah, it was a super fun day, the dogs are exhausted. I actually took about a half an hour nap, which was so nice, because as you know, we never get to do that at home because of work, so day two of camping was fantastic. So back on track tomorrow, I did end up having a whole sheet of graham cracker s'more, had a couple beers, so it was a really good day, but back on track tomorrow, so I'll show you what I'm having for breakfast, and I think we are gonna go ahead and head home as soon as we get up and get packed up, so that we can do some laundry and spend a little bit of time at home before my husband goes back to work on Sunday, but day two was super fun. Good morning guys, it is Saturday morning at about 7.30. It's been kind of drizzling, raining all night, so we decided to skip making breakfast this morning, and we're just gonna kind of pack up, get ready to head home. I need to upload my grocery haul, we have to take back our rental truck, so it's going to be a really busy day, so we decided to skip making breakfast, avoid the rain, dirtying up the neighbor's pan again, and Diesel's ready to go home. He's laying on the bed all cozy and Lola's over here buried in the blanket, so we're gonna let them rest while we finish packing up everything but the bedding, and we're gonna head home. You can see here that I'm starting to pack up this room, I have lots of cleaning to do, and I've been kind of packing up our food area as well, so getting ready to hit the road. Hi guys, we are home. I have showered, there's no makeup, but that's okay. We're home, home, I am doing laundry. I have laundry, loads and loads of laundry, but we had such a fantastic time. We would have stayed a little bit later today if it wasn't raining, but that's totally okay. We had such a great trip. I hope you enjoyed seeing some of the fun that we had. Diesel and Lola had such a good time, well, especially Diesel. Lola's a California girl, she's kind of a princess, not a big camper, but she's happy to be in the cabin, so we had so much fun. I hope you enjoyed a little bit of what I ate throughout the camping trip, both on track and on my day that I use my weeklies, and again, thank you so much for coming along with us.

Jimmy the Cubs. Yeah, from team 24. Okay. Is this working? Yeah. Thank you. My name is Jimmy and we're from Student Party Freisprach, the Student Participation of Tilburg Law School, and today we want to talk to you about what we believe is one of the main strengths of our university, and that is the strong sense of community and corporation that we've established here together. And in particularly, we want to talk to you about how we can capitalize on that. We've experienced the campus as a center for development, as a place where we come as students not only to learn, but also to develop ourselves in the persons and the professionals that we want to become. And we think that this is a key characteristic that defines our graduates. Graduates of Tilburg University do not only have the necessary knowledge, but they also have the skills and the network to make it in their chosen field. And along this bigger team of community and corporation, we want to talk to you about three subtopics. Topics that are important to us as students, and that we think will be important during the years to come. And those topics are our campus, a multidisciplinary education and career prospects. Tilburg University is a small and compact campus. It also has a community feeling to it, which we should be proud of. It's one of the reasons why students choose this place. However, we are seeing that this university is growing and therefore needs to expand. Ideally, the expanding will be limited to this campus. But if we have to go external, then choose something that adds value to the program. For example, the cooperation between Tilburg and Eindhoven chose Dan Bolls to put the study data science over there. And that makes sense, because Dan Bolls is a connection between these two cities. So if we have to go external, then choose something that adds value. If we have to look at what we are missing now on the campus, we are seeing that there are many places for us to socialize, hang out, and just to meet other students. It's also a wish for now from the international students to have these places. And we can do that by having more cafes, more places to eat, just more places where people can come together. And this will also add to the community feeling that we have on this school. All right. And if we're going to our second topic, that's multidisciplinary education. And we think that in a time where technology is disrupting industries so fast and where innovation cycles are becoming so much shorter, we should, as a university, emphasize a multidisciplinary education more. In our education, we are already taking great steps with this, with the minors in programs that we're introducing. But I think we could do more. And an idea could be to support students who want to take courses at different faculties. And we can do this by increasing the cooperation between the different faculties. It's an option now for students to take on top of programs at different faculties. But it's hardly ever used due to lack of awareness and difficult procedures. But if we support students to follow their own interests and own ambitions and support them to take different courses at different faculties, we can increase our multidisciplinary education even more. And this also adds up to the ability of the university to contribute to society's problems. Both national and global challenges are so complex that we will require a multidisciplinary view to solve them. Another option, what we could do university-wide, is organize clinics and events. We at the law school have the law clinics where students work in teams and solve a problem for a company or for a city. And if we take this university-wide, we could have students from each faculty joining interdisciplinary teams and work together, learn how to operate in interdisciplinary teams, and solve interdisciplinary problems for companies or cities. And another way we could do this is by organizing more university-wide events. So, for example, last year we had the Brexit night, which was great. And by organizing these events related to important societal topics, we could, okay, well, the Brexit was terrible, but that we as a university can organize those events and think about those problems. That is, I think that's really important. And when you do that, you also teach students how to, or how to form an opinion about those things. The last thing we want to talk to you about is career prospects. We see in the student evaluation that this is one of the weak points of Tilburg University, so we need to pay more attention to this. In today's job market, it's also very important to do something extra besides studying. We see this as an obligation of Tilburg University to create this possibility for students and facilitate them. When students want to go on exchange, they have a mobility window, which means they can go on exchange without any delay, which is great, but we shouldn't stop there. We should also create this mobility window for students who want to go on internships, who want to have extra jobs, or do extracurricular activities. And we can do this by video lectures, by having the classes on one or two days in the week, so that students can choose to combine things. And this will help them grow and also increase the job possibilities when they want to work, when they are done. All right, so to wrap it up, we do support the university's view to increase both in student numbers and educational programs. But we do want to emphasize that it's important to keep true to your own identity and your own strengths. And in addition, more to capitalize on that. And we think this can be done by expanding the campus internally where possible and externally where that's value, by increasing multidisciplinary education and events, and by strengthening the career possibilities of our graduates. Thank you. Thank you.


Or this is our show, ThinkTik Hawaii's Human-Humane Architecture, and us is me, Martin Despeng, and you, Distleto Brown. And this is our Valentine's Day edition. Happy Valentine's, Distleto. Yeah, happy Valentine's Day too. What do you got? Everyone else? Oh, is this economy? This is what our university, how they recognize this, with this university academic newspaper for the students, and it shows love is not without challenges. Probably has never been and will never be. As this first slide here tells us, because the main big picture here is from my dad. So what are your Valentine's wishes comforting messages for him, cut off the sign, so to speak? Well, two things are being talked about on this page. The first thing that we're going to discuss is that your father celebrates what he refers to as his second birthday, if I'm not incorrect. And that is because when he was just five years old, he survived the bombing of the city of Dresden in what became East Germany and is now just part of a unified Germany. And that was one of the worst bombing raids of the entire war, certainly in Germany, and it killed tens of thousands of people, it decimated the city. And his mother managed to survive because she chose to go to a different, not the regular shelter she would have gone to, a bomb shelter, but she went to the train station, I think. Is that what happened? And they survived.  And I might also point out here, too, that since this is an architecture program, this also brings up stuff that we've discussed before, the rebuilding of cities after World War II in different parts of the world and how, in some cases, they chose to replicate what had been destroyed rather than to start entirely from scratch. And that's also relevant for us because we are entering the discussions here in Hawaii about the rebuilding of the town of Lahaina. So while that wasn't a bombing raid, what happened to Lahaina was comparable to what happened to a number of places during World War II being destroyed and then having to rebuild all over again. Well, that's a long-winded explanation for the photo at the lower right corner, which shows Dresden after it was completely destroyed or mostly destroyed and all that was left was ruins after that bombing raid in 1945. Yeah. And that was on February 13th, which was yesterday. That was the 79th anniversary. And apparently what's going on with anti-Semitism reemerging, unfortunately, around the Gaza, we don't want to forget that while certainly that bombing was not good for many reasons, but it was a reaction that we're discussing currently how appropriate our reactions are repercussions about the initial massacre that happened to the Jewish people and now what's going on, right? So while there were many killed, there was also the reason why it was bombed is because Germany went to that very dark side and killed millions of others, innocent people, Jews and homosexuals and old people and people they didn't think they were worth enough. So that's the whole scope. Well now my father coming full circle sends us this picture here because there is a fear growing and what's that fear about the Soto? Well the fear is depicted in the large photograph, which looks like a real picture, but which is not, shows Putin and Trump huddling together in a bed for Valentine's Day and with red roses between them.  So for the supposed potential president of the United States and I'm going to say right now he's never going to be president again, but regardless of that for him to be huddling up so to speak with a dictator who again is an openly bad man who he encourages, who he praises along with other dictators is a shocking thing and as you just pointed out that one of the foundations of Nazi Germany was that there were certain people in society who were inferior and who should be killed, who should be wiped out and the Germans not the Germans themselves but the Nazis chose the Jews as their primary target to be wiped out because with this crazed idea that if you kill all of the people you don't like everything will be okay. Well the United States has not gotten to that point yet, but there is a great deal of right wing open hatred of other people, different people and people who are depicted as bad and the main target of course has been those brown skinned people who come in from Central America and South America, they're the bad guys. Again everybody it's a very simple thing to do for a dictatorship to pick on a certain group and say that if we kill all of them they're the problem, they're the cause of all our problems and at the very worst we wipe them out. And per again the nature of love, some say a big part of love is forgivingness. Our escapism expert, exotic ones, Azana always says love is the only thing that grows if you give it away versus greediness which money gets less if you give it away. So at the bottom right where you see Dresden all in ruins you also see as my grandmother and you see my father there and then you know having survived and also having gotten back on their feet and given a chance by half of your ethical background America together with the French together with the Brits and together with the Russians big back who chopped up Germany and said okay we get you back to our fee on your feet and we give you another chance. Well as you pointed out a fourth of that has done which is the Russian sector has then also gone back to totalitarianism or they kind of were in it anyways so that became the unfortunate part of Germany but fortunately again then the under under Gorbachev and the Glasnost that was given up and that one was given the second chance. Well Putin unfortunately was pretty much you know in the situation he was in that in that Russian sector as a KGB agent let us point out exactly exactly that and so he now says romantically that was the best part of his life so now my father is worried he's gonna come back but he wants it back under the condition that it was which was under the totalitarian regime under under the GDR so what can we all do is making sure it's not gonna happen and what is our most recent contribution to cheer up my dad that we already talked about but today we're gonna get real because before on my morning stroll with the turtles I walked by to get myself double checked on and that's what we are voting here from the star advertiser in red what is that well the Trump Tower in Waikiki has changed its name it has dropped the name Trump and in the two pictures in the upper right corner you can see us looking at the Trump Tower in the background and expressing our displeasure over that name well fortunately they've managed to do that the tower no longer has the Trump name and that's a good thing because there is so much bad baggage associated with Donald Trump that the fewer things that are named for him the better and personally as someone who lives in Honolulu I am glad there is no longer anything in Honolulu that bears his name particularly that large in your face high-rise building which overshadows the breakers hotel which is where we were when we posed for those two pictures yeah and again love and forgiveness that sort of tricky reciprocity Michael our producer and I would just before the show before you come in talking about well how much are we forgiving the building now for you know what it had before your doggy is supporting that as we hear so you know it's it's it's something to reflect on but it and I keep saying the building actually originally and that we don't even know how much the Trump was just the brand that got put on and how much that was on the radar when the architects were guru in glass designed it and we discussed and is actually not inherently such a bad building unfortunately the many that we go through in the shows in the recent shows with compare in Chicago to us what Howard Hughes does was in the midtown flunk area all the blue ones are going up they're actually much worse I mean this is at least substantially a stack Linai as Kurt Sandberg like to call it but it has a sort of clear plastic raincoat mood over it that if one would that pull that away. Maybe then again and the question is how much are we forgiving the building for you know maybe what he you know did wrong and now maybe wants to make up for it right and how much do we give it as everything and us a chance right so it says to the next slide going back to Polynesian pop. And the discussion of profound or you know pretentious and presumptuous and we have this discussion this was showing up a couple of times that we never got to it so now we get to it. This is an equally kind of touchy discussion that we had as in one of our doko Momo talk stories which happened to be hosted in one of the tropical brutalist buildings of the central Pacific Plaza of the Pacific in downtown and so it was one of our former mentees was with us in school and got her training there and she talked to us on behalf of her Hawaiian name she also has an American first name as you know being a hybrid of two cultures as you are and she was speaking on behalf of her Hawaiian there and we had this discussion again about how much is the Polynesian pop a cultural in appropriation or not and it became a very heated discussion that I was involved I was the reason for that because I was feedback and at the top right what I was saying is that the international marketplace that you just recently did that show that we I show we show quote here at the top right where you were talking about how you thought how culturally appropriate it actually was to both of your cultures you know to your Hawaiian culture but also your American culture trying to you know be as much in line with it not just surfacially but also substantially being made out of woods being easy breezy little shops for little people all these things right and so we had this again discussion that was that was fairly interesting and the next slide is what she shared with us is basically that she said well you howly guys which is 100% of me 50% of you traumatized me and my childhoods by you know reducing me to Tiki kids and we said well we're we're sorry for that which I meant I was serious about that but I also said and this is at the bottom right and sorry it's a little covered up by our logo but what's important is what we still see there is our exotic isn't a Zuzana in her traditional thanks Michael for freeing it in her traditional attire the Durnal and I said hey you know when when you come as as Americans or Hawaiians and you want to see Germany you go to that southern you don't necessarily maybe these days we might go to Dresden too because we got it back to its old beauty because of rebuilding yes very much so as you said our topic as well here but traditionally go to what was governed by you Americans the American sector and I once talked in a previous show way back in the previous urban transcendence show to the director of the call my museum and he was coming up with this really interesting theory that if the sectors had been divided up differently the logo of basically Walt Disney which is after the Neuschwanstein castle which is a fake because it likes to look medieval but it's not if you Americans would have had the eastern sector like the Wardborg which you know very well from your VW emblem for example well that's the Wolfsburg but the word sorry it is what the word the word works which is that most high-end German car this boring referring to our automobiles architecture show so of course that was a kind of a glitch here so of course not the the the Wolfsburg which the big dubs have as an emblem but the Wardborg's had as the emblem so it would have been that castle but that did not happen so I said to her you know you you come and then our young girls same age as you have to get into the journal and have to carry the beer marks at Octoberfest that's what you want to see in them but that's not what they are they wear jeans and what else what you wear so it's it's the same thing and it goes both ways but what I try to say in this this big picture here is actually me which a very dear friend of mine who had dearly missed Earhart Schütz who you see at the top right who I lost in 2000 we lost in 2016 where he passed away in the young age of 60 in the Arab desert still under mysterious circumstances and he at that time was you know I informed him that when I was still in the prairie in Nebraska that there was this position opening here in Hawaii and that I wanted to apply and this is as he was the greatest in in this very humorous way the way he responded to it and what is that well it's an amalgamation of your face with the body of Tom Selleck as Magnum PI already famous all around the world as a television personality and at top your head is the famous or infamous Hawaiian or Hawaii toast or toast to Hawaii as it may be called which is a German invention which by putting a piece of pineapple onto cheese and ham and a piece of bread becomes quote Hawaiian so you're in a Hawaiian or tropical setting to show that that's what you are going to become soon you're going to become a Magnum PI wearing toast to Hawaii on the top of your head yeah and so where's that fine line between that cheesiness which is part of what the Hawaiian toast has which has nothing to do with Hawaii because it very little dairy and cheese was not existing in the in the pre-contact days who are more substantiated and again Magnum PI starting in this in the 80s was trying to basically cope with the post traumatic disorder of Vietnam veterans the first time in TV a series that were not depicted as bombs and basically you know done people but people who struggle with this but try to reconcile and somehow through processing and self therapy and reflection and very much you know our dear friend Von Lincoln who we have back thanks Ron he was with us showing the students his Kahala that he remodeled and he will be with us in the Holly Kalani we couldn't be more happy about it and the same thing you know Ron you are a Vietnam veteran as well you're a veteran in many ways and you are hero in many ways and again you are not shy to talk about these times and we'll continue to talk more when we go back into the automobile architecture together and the Jeep is our you know vehicle for thought of reflection for that part so you know Magnum was not just a surfacial as unfortunately the reboots of all of these are there more or less crime stories with our scenario here as a as an exchangeable billboard could be Miami or any other any other tropical you know shoreline metropolis but but way back it really had a quite a serious attempt and ironically as we were saying German not even you would think censorship is something of former East Germany that we don't want back put in bringing it back West Germany censored as well as censored out that which I thought was too heavy for the Western TV audience when really you know Tom Selleck alias Magnum P I was going too deeply into processing that thought oh this is too much for the Germans we cut this out not until private TV was re airing that there were there were dubbing the whole thing which which is really good so let us go try to get the angle back which is actually not angle back because you know zeitgeist and architecture are intertwined and you need to reflect on the circumstances of things so now we want to do an excursion from the Polynesian pop one story to tropical brutalism which might actually be sort of a development and evolution of one to the other one that gets us to the next slide because our most favorite recently building expression of that one is Steve ours Davis Pacific center that we kept talking about quite a bit and then top left the show quote is that space that he created that we think he was basically doing in a way to say he's waiting for the next era to come that's unmoving it all you need to do is take the fixed windows off and you get the cool breeze going through because it's an exoskeleton and nothing is in the way and that that exoskeleton is crafted in a way that it has enough depth and these vertical fins to shade you and so all you need to do is come up with a little bit of more of I just you know for the studio review we have and this is a reminder for you because you're on it this afternoon and the introduction and getting you all together and sending you the zoom link I was doing a Google link to the definition of cooperative and it includes as one of the major means of methods it includes sweat equity what people do with it when they come up from scratch and do things together so that's all you need to do on this one floor and again then you know talking about the iffy point of our former students about you know gender and sexual exploitation that's something to be continued about but we refer to Milton Diamond prime scholar in that field with this Pacific Center for Sex and Sexuality that maybe some things are to be revisited not in a way to discriminate but to undiscriminate you know behaviors amongst genders in that case so this building here we took this picture here sort of at night this is the corner of the plinth of the building it doesn't just have the tower but it also has a podium that's rather large so again it's while under the umbrella oh we turn you know monofunctional office space into residential and make we then make this a little believable neighborhood yeah but for who do you do this for more for rich people because these these units in there these conventional condos that they're unfortunately jam into this nice hippie open easy breezy potentially co-op space is going to be some little cubicles to live in so it turns from potentially inclusive to once again exclusive and that gets us to the next slide because tropical brutalism as you and bunded are on this bookbearer that we have the draft of they're inserted in there you point out that for example 4th Street mall was not brutal as the term brutalism is mostly understood because it's the tombrew so as you see yes there was a lot of volcrete as we like to call it local basalt infused aggregate infused materials but you also see a lot of vitality on the streets right you certainly see a lot of people of different sorts and kinds on the street and that gets us to the next slide because this is a doko mall doko momo walking tour that got this all started there and there was also multiple panels at the air aid that you were part of and this was the doko momo walking tour that supported that and you see to the left when semi was here with us there was and a non-traditional participant who we like to call the urban no less that was chatting up in and he was putting up with her so these people were actually not talking about you know anymore and these are growing years of getting of growing importance right because a lack of making a living and having a shelter on this island is if not the most prime challenge and while again it gets we were we were told by this community guy who's involved in sort of the redevelopment of downtown but the one in the behind the glass tower that's Joe Paul Wrongstedt that I believe it was actually a condo building and it got confirmed who are doing the research this is what it is now it is a hotel there's the price tag there it's somewhere in the three mid 300s if you do the math times 30 right that makes it $9,000 rent so again a hotel is very profitable is actually even more profitable than housing that is even more thanks to bar gov who joins us from India is even more profitable than office so once again it might actually be be be driven by you know not by love as that gets more while sharing it but by greediness you know and you just try to put you know deeper price tags on things so that's the worrisome aspect of it right yes that's correct and what's interesting is to see this entire process of downtown Honolulu which many American cities are going through and I think internationally as well turning away from office space as people work increasingly from home and we have technology to do that before but COVID in 2020 pushed us into it even if we didn't want it and now we see we think we have to deal with these buildings which need to be repurposed and how they get repurposed as you just pointed out there they're sort of the two ways to go seem to be either hotel which is more lucrative for the owners versus condos which costs less but in any case there are a lot of considerations to change something from office use to residential or hotel use but again this is fascinating to me because we could never have anticipated that this would happen and that downtown has lost so many workers and that now we need to repurpose so many buildings is a major thing for us to deal with in a lot of different ways yeah and go to the next slide because there is this really unbelievable we wouldn't have you know even thought about how we always thought about we could actually sort of kiss you know downtown awake again and now it's been kissed awake but the question is who kisses is awake you know which prince is that or which monster is it it might actually be the monster of capitalism sorry to say because this building bounded had to point out to me and I couldn't believe until I drove by in in in the evening when it got dark this is again all this was double checked by Don Hibbert who always got the numbers and the dates right and stuff like that and we writing this book together which we showed on the on the third page that we again we want to we want to base it on again on climate and cultural compliance appropriateness and this is this is not it once again there is a very unfortunate example here that's a repetition of something that we saw before that we see at the top right but we won't have time to explain you gotta see us for that next week again because we ran out of times for some exciting 30 minutes so please be with us again and please subscribe our channel here and don't it because this is how this all runs without you it won't run and you are our as you see down there a viewer of that number so please be back with us next week and until then as we found out today please stay very tropical gentle because this is what tropical brutalism has been doing and also what profound Polynesian pop versus pretentious Polynesian pop has been doing so for more on that and what's behind this one here see you next week bye bye bye


Highbridge, a division of recorded books, presents—did you just eat that?—two scientists explore double-dipping, the five-second rule, and other food myths in the lab, by Paul Dawson and Brian Sheldon, read by Matthew Boston. Prologue. Why write a book about the five-second rule, double-dipping, and other food myths? Well, because inquiring minds want to know. The truth is, we've always been puzzled and a little impressed by the faith people seem to have in catchphrases for a host of food-handling behaviors. Five seconds? Says who? And double-dipping. George Costanza from Seinfeld tends to be wrong about things. So could Timmy, the character who calls George out for this practice in a famous episode, be right? The more we thought about it, the more examples of questionable food-handling behavior came to mind. Some of them don't even have catchphrases yet. Whether it's the communal popcorn tub at the movies, or the ping-pong ball used in the game of beer pong, most of us don't think twice about what else, besides popcorn or beer, we might be putting in our mouths. Catchphrases will come in time, but we wanted to take a closer look at what's really going on. That's why, together with our undergraduate students from the Creative Inquiry Program at Clemson University, we conducted bona fide scientific research in a faculty-mentored team environment. This was our way of introducing the scientific method to students who at first may not be interested in research, and getting them to look at common, everyday topics and beliefs about bacteria and food. The questions raised captured our participants' interest in their own and their classmates' behaviors. What we found amazed us, and we decided to share our findings with a wider audience, including you, the listener. After a series of research experiments, we hatched the idea to compile a book on these topics for the everyday reader. In each chapter, we present results from our original published research, along with research by others, on how bacteria are transferred and survive on foods and contact surfaces we are exposed to in everyday life. We hope this audiobook will both enlighten and entertain you. So how should you enjoy this audiobook? After the introduction, which gives you some basic information about the mysterious microbial world, the chapters are grouped into three parts covering how bacteria spread on, one, different surfaces, two, air and water, and three, food transport mechanisms. In each chapter, we first share some trivia and background on that particular topic, then describe do-it-yourself experiments we have conducted to answer the question po- Sample complete.

Oil is not a resource which is renewable, they will extract it after like 20 years, it will be finished, but they cannot bring back the land. Next person, there are machines that will be planted to extract oil from the ground, which is death caused to the ecosystem, both fish and oil. Government is not defending us, they are only defending those who are coming, they are defending oil. The only thing to do now is to mobilize the community.


The Gambia has registered its first female presidential candidate for elections slated for December 4th. Mary Sock appeared at the election house in the company of two others, hoping to become the country's first female president. The nomination started Saturday with a submission of papers by a former Justice Minister who allegedly passed a bill in 2000 to indemnify soldiers who shot student protesters. The third nominated candidate was an educator who established a lot of tutors and information technology training college. Candidates are allowed to make submissions before the nominations close on November 5th.


What digital asset news like a top story in cryptocurrency and digital assets? Man, break it down into bite-sized pieces today. Fascinating stuff. First up, decentralized digital IDs can solve Amazon's fake reviews problem and actually goes much deeper than that and how it relates to a top 10 cryptocurrency right now. Also, Samsung doubles down on crypto with support for payments blockchain stellar and how I believe this is going to lead to mass adoption quicker than we think. And finally, blockchain is being used to help farmers and customers connect and why at first glance it looks like a good story. But in the very end, it's actually a negative for cryptocurrency and digital assets. And stick with me at the end, I'll be giving away one of these shield folios, which is made with stone. And it's going to allow you to keep all your seed phrases and passwords protected as it lasts a lifetime, tear resistance, oil and chemical resistance, water resistant as well, not fire resistant, but pretty good. And it's going to allow you to keep everything safe and secure. A lot of different methods such as the ghost pen, which hides all your writing and keeps it safe or as safe as possible. So I'll be giving away one as the end. Just stick with me. But before we get into that, let's take a look at what's going on with the market. So everything's down a little bit. Bitcoin 0.6% down, Ethereum, Tether. Well, that is Tether. XRP is XRP, 19 cents, 2.1, 2.9. Chainlink, the darling of the top tens is sitting pretty at 0.5% increase. I gotta tell you, Chainlink has rocketed up over this last week. I mean, it's 31% right now. But I mean, I remember it was $3, $4, not too long ago. And now here we are. So if you're holding on to Chainlink, congratulations. Crypto.com down percentage, Tether's up 4, which is great. Stellar is up and we're going to see why. Monero down, VeChain, which was up massively this week. I thought it would actually break into 2 cents, but it hasn't done that yet. But we will see. The week is not over yet. So anyhow, just hold strong. Looks like good things are happening.  So let's break into today's top stories. So first up, payments tied to decentralized digital IDs can solve Amazon's fake reviews problem. And we're really going to get into this one. But I think it's really going to play into effect to one of the top 10 cryptocurrencies. Now, the big story for me today was actually how Samsung is going to double down for support for Stellar. But this first story here plays into that part. I want to go over this first. But before we start, this is written by Alistar Johnson, crypto and blockchain. And we're going to get into who this guy is the very last, but he's a reputable person. And I actually enjoy reading some of his different articles. But we'll go over that very last one and I'll show you why. So this is all about product reviews and how they actually influence. So according to a report by the Spiegel Research Center, the likelihood of a customer opting for a product with just five reviews is 270% greater than the probability of purchasing a product with no reviews. For example, researchers found that reviews displayed for a lower price product held a conversion rate increased by 190%. Whereas higher price products, it actually rose 380%. So what it really gets down to is if you have reviews and the chances your product is going to actually sell rapidly increases. I've got many a product on Amazon through my Amazon store. And I can just tell you right now, reviews are king. The more, not the more reviews you have. I mean, if you have bad reviews, it doesn't really matter. But four and five star reviews are like gold. And the more you have of those, usually the better off you are. And the more detailed someone leaves as far as like the review itself or description is even better. The problem that I've seen in my store personally is fake reviews. And that's against my competitors. They will just have, and it looks like the same person is running it over and over again. So like how can you trust it? I mean, you can't really trust these things, especially when you're going for a product like, well, is this a good product or not product? Well, I don't know what people say, but you don't know if it's a real person or a bot. And usually, and we're going to it, it's usually a bot. Anyhow, scrolling down, according to data from Statista, as of 2018, Amazon product categories, including supplements, electronics, and beauty share, 60% of fake product reviews worldwide. So if you've ever shopped on Amazon, and it's a pretty good chance you have because it's enormous, all those reviews that you turn to and go, is this a good product? Do people actually like this? Is this actually going to hold up and is what it says it is? 60% of the time, they are fake reviews. So it's just people buying reviews, people using bots. It's just an awful system because you never really can tell what you're going to get. And I've fallen victim to this. I get a product, I think it's awesome.  And it's all because of these fake reviews. And I think it's a huge problem. Anyhow, the problem has become so widespread that Amazon has spent 400 million to date fighting back against fake reviews. The platform has even opted to take legal action after it uncovered a black market selling four and five star reviews. It states these bots slipped through Amazon's verification standard and can be employed to either boost positive reviews or be used to target a rival with negative ones, which is what has happened to one of my listings. Unfortunately, not even Amazon can tackle the issue completely as much of it takes place outside the platform. I think that's the key word here. So when I was reading this the first time, I thought to myself, well, is this what's happening with YouTube and their scammers? Because it's like this last week to two weeks, it's been nothing but scams. I get four or five scams in my feed every single day, if not every single hour. And I've had a lot of different subscribers say, hey, I saw a scam video right before your video. I saw it in the middle of your video and I saw one after your video. And that was me talking about scam of the day. So I just can't believe, I mean, as they say, que huevos, that they actually, these people are actually doing this and putting them right. I mean, how ballsy can you get? Really, is what it comes down to. So I mean, for YouTube, I look at them like, well, maybe that's the same thing that's happening. I mean, Amazon is a multi-billion dollar company, if not a trillion dollar company on the heels of it. I think it actually is now. So if a company like that can't stop negative reviews or scam reviews, I mean, what chance does YouTube have? So maybe they're dealing with the same issues. These things are just slipping through the cracks. However, this last sentence here where it says, as much of it takes place outside the platform, that's not the case with YouTube. I mean, people submit their videos for marketing to be considered as an ad, and then it's approved by YouTube. Usually it's an automated process. But I mean, come on, if YouTube and Google can't figure out an algorithm to figure out what is a scam for some of these videos. And I know that there's like tens of thousands of hours uploaded every single minute. But I mean, if they have the ability to strike a couple of my videos down and I upload just one a day, and along with everybody else, why can they do with the scams? That's just all I'm saying. But on top of that, I mean, we just saw a huge amount of scams take place in the Twitterverse. If you don't realize, today it is July 16th. And recently, there was a huge hack that occurred in the Twitterverse, where all these huge, I mean, huge Twitter accounts got hacked. Everything from Binance, CZ Binance, Gemini, and look at all these blue check marks. Coinbase, CoinDesk, Justin Son, Tron, Charlie Lee, Bitnext. And these are just the cryptocurrency folks, right? Look at, here's Elon Musk, the Elon Musk, Bill Gates, Uber, Joe Biden, Joe Biden, Barack Obama, Make Out Hill, I don't know who that is, Kim Kardashian West, Floyd Man, Floyd Manor, and Wiz Khalifa.  And it all happened, like, all together. It was a coordinated attack. And this is from Larry Sermak at Lawmaster. He put this all together, so great job to him.  And what Larry says here is that it started at 2.16 p.m., and then at 4.17 p.m., it was clear to everyone, and it took Twitter two hours to 6.05 Eastern time to start acting.  And what was amazing to me is that, as I can tell, only $100,000 or so was actually siphoned away from people. So I think that's impressive that all these people that were involved, I mean, all the different accounts that were hacked, only $100,000 got taken. So that leaves me with two things. First of all, either people are extremely savvy in how they are actually looking at scams and look at this and go, that's stupid, I would never do that. That's the first part. And the second thing is there may be a more sinister motive behind what actually happened. I mean, people can go in there and they can scam all day long, right? But what if there's something else behind this that actually happened? I mean, it could be anything. It could be anything from data mining to putting additional malware in the system to any kind of spyware.  So it was across a wide swath of different people. So if I'm looking at this from an objective perspective and going, well, what really was the motive here? I don't think it was just to easily get just a little bit of money here. I think there was something more behind it. And we won't know. We won't know for days, weeks, months. And that's the scary part. So I think when we look at social media and we think, oh, it's pretty safe, it's just social media. Maybe it's time to really switch to a decentralized platform that can be a little bit more secure because obviously with what happens in Facebook, YouTube and Twitter and all the other ones out there, it's a pretty big mess. And we're only opening ourselves up to incredible problems moving forward. Anyhow, just my thoughts. So moving on. On eBay and even social media platforms such as Facebook, the black market for fake reviews has been thriving. The watchdog uncovered total 26 Facebook groups which individuals offered to write fake reviews in exchange for compensation. In response, both Facebook and eBay removed the content but measures the curb instances in the future. And I will just tell you from experience, I get emails from these different groups that say, hey, we know that you're a Amazon seller and if you pay us X amount, we'll give you all these hundreds of reviews for your products. And I just can't do that because that goes against, first of all, it goes against the terms and services of Amazon. And if you're, and first of all, it's wrong. Second of all, you get caught for it.  So why would you do it? Well, some people do it and it seems to work out for them. And that's why I'm, you know, really was excited about this article because I think it really should happen. They really should clamp down on this. But moving on to states, while likely well-intentioned by taking bad actors on one at a time, not only are these firms fighting a losing battle, but they're wasting valuable resources doing so. Instead, they need to focus on the root of the problem by ensuring reviews cannot be written by anyone other than the genuine customer. So this leads us back to the scam of the day because what happens with us is that I go and I, and actually subscribers will actually send me different scams that are going on. I'll report them on one of the videos and then people will go attack that scam and take it taken down. And it's a slow process because we have to do it one by one and there's thousands out there. But we can only, you can only do what you can when you can with what you got. And that's our one thing that we do. So that, since we attack these scams and I teach everybody about, this is what you have to look out for, instrumental giveaways, take a look at the reviews or the comments below and see what it all comes down to. The hope is that just because that one gets taken down, that's not the big thing. The big thing is educating people as they come into the space. Now remember, you watching this video, you may be super savvy and know exactly what to look out for, but you have to understand there's new people coming in every day. They don't have squat. They don't have anything. And they need help, bigly. So when we do these types of things, I think it helps out everybody. And here's a prime example. This is from Droplet and this was three days ago.  It's been almost a full year since I bought my first Bitcoin. I saw those scams and for a few seconds I wondered what the heck this new thing is so strange. Is it possible to double my Bitcoin? Then I saw your and some other videos that make it clear just what sliding people are out there. So you were setting a lot of people, a lot of money. I know because I'm one of them. And that's exactly why we talk about it. And I know some people will put in the comments like, why don't you do that scam today? It's so boring. That's the boring part. Why do you do that? Why do you do that? It's because you have to understand if you see it, that's okay. But it has to be for everybody. There should be no investor left behind to type a program. And if I don't do it, I mean, who's going to do it? Let's be honest. It's not like YouTube's out there fighting these types of things. It's up to me and you to really do this. And if we don't do it, we always have people behind and then one person tells 10, 10 tells 1,000. And then the whole space becomes a scam factory. And that's no good. So that's why we do it. So moving on, fake reviews can be circumvented via a verified digital ID underpinned by the immutability and security of blockchain combining a biometrically authenticated ID with a payment source creates an indisputable way of authenticating reviews. Picture this, you log into Amazon with your biometrically verified digital identity.  And you purchase this, whatever product you have. A day after purchasing with your funded decentralized identity, the courier delivers your package pinging your digital ID to enable contactless delivery satisfies leaving on its review, linked to your payment verified digital identity. So finishing up, as long as the payment source used by the product under review is connected to the verified ID consumers and companies alike can rest assured that the review is authentic and impossible to fabricate. And guess who is doing blockchain IDs? And when I read that, when I read about that this company was doing blockchain IDs, I was like, that's huge. And no one really thought about it, just kind of glance over it. But this is, I think this is a big thing. When I read this, this was about Cardano when they did the virtual summit. This was just 10, 13 days ago or so. IOHK also revealed they'll be launching a decentralized identity system. And when I saw it, I'm like, that's brilliant because that's what we need. Because if we can have something like that, I mean, what else can we do with the ID system? Well, we just see if we can do reviews. We can do voting. Maybe we can get into the healthcare industry. All these different things that we need for IDs instead of loving it around a fake ID. An ID, and we show it to everybody else, but if you have a decentralized ID, you are set in stone and anywhere you go, you can work itself out. Even the unbanked, the people that don't have IDs, the people that are in third world countries. So I think this is bigger than what it is. I think it's going to be a monstrous thing moving forward. But that's just my opinion. So anyhow, so who wrote this article? Who was this masked man, Alistar Johnson? So Alistar is an entrepreneur and innovator, believes that blockchain is about the transform relationships between individuals and institutions they interact with. I thought this was brilliant. He says he envisions a world in which individuals regain absolute power over their own data and profit from its value every day. Listen, every other place, every social media platform has been using you to use your data, your information, and sell it to all these different, these companies and corporations across the globe. And you didn't see a penny of it. All you got was some kind of goofy little gift for GIF image that you could share or maybe a video here or there or maybe some kind of Facebook post. It's like, you got, you got some free kind of service. Congratulations. But you know who made a lot of money? All the different places out there. And blockchain, I think, is the same thing, especially with a decentralized ID, and especially if you're using like the Brave browser, but I'm not going to get into the weeds. Anyhow, Alistar had led global integrated product development and product market for brands like Microsoft, Skype, Office, Xbox, HoloLens. HoloLens, sure. Disney, Ted, and the BBC. And then he is founder and CEO of Nuggets.Life, a blockchain e-commerce payments and ID platform that's redefining online security and privacy. So it was a great article, but it's kind of, you know, Alistar's got one foot in the door with blockchain ID. So I get why you wrote it, but I thought it was a beautiful article. Well, well done. All right, let's move on. Next up, Samsung that was down with blockchain Stellar. So what's going on? So today, just today, they announced the Stellar Foundation. Integration of Stellar into the Samsung blockchain key store. The integration will allow Samsung devices, users, to be able to securely store, this is interesting, their private keys associated with their Stellar blockchain wallet. This solves what has traditionally been a challenging part of the blockchain user experience, which is the ability to manage private keys in a secure manner. Typically, the more secure the solution, the more challenging the experience is for the user. And I gotta tell you, if you have even with a nano, if you're, I mean, you don't have to really secure anything like that, but just to use that as kind of cumbersome. So I always say, if mass adoption is going to happen, it's going to happen when my mom can use it, because that's really the most lagging person I can think of. The internet, browsers, it all worked out great when you didn't see all the code and all the stuff that went on behind the scenes. No one wants to know how you make the sausage. They just want the sausage. So the same thing goes with Cryptocurrency digital assets. They have to hide that stuff and make it super simple because people are lazy and they don't want to work too hard for it. And I get that because a lot of things going on. Maybe you got like 12 kids running around or whatever it is and you got five jobs. If you have so much to do, this is just one more thing to worry about. So make it simple. Moving on, it says the ability to manage private keys in both a secure and user friendly way is a key hurdle that the blockchain community must clear. If it is able to expand its appeal to a broader set of mass market users from the technologically inclined early adopters, i.e. me and you, and hobbyists that predominantly use the technology today. It states while software wallets that store private keys on behalf of users on computers and devices have been available for some time, they have often suffered from security vulnerabilities as they share the phone, tablet, or computer with other apps. That's why we call them hot wallets. A more secure approach is to use hardware level segregation. Where a separate computer processor that can only be accessible by authorized software is used to protect keys from prying eyes. So I think it's interesting what they did is, and they said right here, they created a secure processor dedicated to protecting the pen, password pattern, and blockchain private key. Just one processor just for that alone. And that's it's dedicated for only that purpose. So they do that and then combined with the Knox platform, securities infuse into every part of your phone from hardware to software. So private data stays private. I think it's interesting to see if it, you know, how unhackable it actually is. I don't have a Samsung phone, I have an iPhone, but if it ever comes to iPhone, I'll definitely upgrade. Just like in store, you know, my private keys in that shape or form. I think it's interesting, and I think it makes things a heck of a lot easier from than what we have right now, which is writing everything down. And good luck if that paper gets wet or it gets ripped apart or something like that. And that's why we're going to talk about this shield folio, which is made from stone, which is pretty cool. The wallet and key store is only available on a handful of devices. Galaxy S20, Galaxy Z Flip, Galaxy Note 10, the Fold and the S10 series. And the last thoughts on this is, I think this is huge, and especially as they roll them all out into more and more phones. But right now people, I mean, there's a ton of Samsung phones out there. And I think right now, not so big of a deal. But as these phones start to fail and people start to upgrade, because that's what the phone industry does, or the providers, Verizon, AT&T, or whatever you guys have in Europe and Australia and India, whatever it is, these phones, they want you to upgrade. They want you to pay. And I think they're going to push these types of phone out there. And I think that's what's going to lead to mass adoption when we make things just a lot more simpler. And on top of all the simplicity, if you compare, do all that, the simplicity of having your private keys, plus you pair it with the decentralized ID of what we just talked about in the last story where they talked about the biometrically verified identifications, which you can definitely do on a lot of phones these days. If you combine those two together, I think it's a winner winner chicken dinner and it works out pretty well for everybody.  Anyhow, let me know your thoughts in the comments section. Let's move on to the last story. Last one, this is pretty quick, big coffee sellers use blockchain to connect farmers and customers. So when I first said that, I'm like, great.  It says, Farmer Connect announced today it would partner with Smuckers, Folger's brand coffee, great. To use the IBM blockchain platform, Connecting produces the customers, not great. A QR code will allow consumers who buy 1850 coffee, I guess, to see how it was grown and brought to the shelf. That's pretty cool. Folger's will be the first large U.S. food brand to use this service. Farmer Connect's website will provide where the coffee was grown, processed and exported. Consumers can understand the drink in their hands as part of clean water and small farm agriculture initiatives and blah, blah, blah, great. Okay, so here's the problem. Obviously, you can see the problem. The problem is that we have big corporations coming in and they're offering blockchain as a service. And in this case, the supply chain that's being used IBM for tracking all these different things, it is directly cutting into a service or a digital asset or cryptocurrency, or you want to call it, such as VeChain and the other ones out there that do the same thing. I think VeChain is far ahead of everyone for right now. I know in the comment section, someone's going to say, yeah, but have you seen fancoin? Oh, fancoin, it does so much. It's so awesome. And sure, maybe it is, but VeChain right now is doing a lot of great things. So we will see. But when I see these types of stories about, I mean, these huge conglomerates, these huge corporations using IBM, I'm like, that's not what I got into space for. I'm not here to buy stock into IBM so they can start to run all these things on a permissioned, centralized type of blockchain.  I don't need you. And I will say that we went over this in pretty great detail about the different IBM, different types of blockchain products that they have. They have everything from currency to smart contracts to oracles. I mean, everything you can think of that like an Ethereum or a Chainlink or a Bitcoin or an XRP or whatever else, they kind of copied all that and they've done it all. And I talk about, you know, how they're actually getting into it, but I talk about their shortcomings and why they're going to fail. So I'll link this to the very end. And that's what I think about as far as, you know, what's going to actually happen with Hyperledger Fabric and IBM and all the rest of the nonsense that they've got going on. So anyhow, that is it. So I want to say thanks for sticking with me through all the different rants and whatnot we're talking about. Try to shorten this video up as best I can. But to get this fantastic little notebook, which I actually have myself, and I used it, I used that ghost pen, which is pretty cool, where you could just write like invisible for my Theta wallet and worked out pretty well.  I did take a look at it and someone asked me, well, is it fireproof?  But I will say this, this part right here what it says tear resistant, oil and chemical resistant, I can verify that.  So what I'm going to do is just to give one of these guys away, is in the comments, just say, I want a shield folio and I'll just pick it at random and then I'll contact you, we can just do it and do it via email. And then I'll just pick somebody random, send me your address, I'll send it to shield folio because they are trying to get the acceptance or people to know about it and I'll ship it out that way and that'll do it. So just do that and that's fantastic. If you've got a couple minutes, stick with me and we'll talk about scam the day I know it's not very exciting but let me tell you like we talked about in the other story, it's huge and it's important. So if you don't know, I started scam the day in around January because I was sick of people getting screwed out of their money and we just saw that happen many a time and what I, to do this is in the description of every one of my videos is going to be a link it's going to look like this. How many click on that is going to take us to the scam the day and just scroll all the way down and what we're looking for is just go to the last one because this one is really annoying. This one was just found in July 13th and what we're going to do is just going to click on that link and it's going to take us to this melon head. So what we're looking for is first of all, never take my word for it that it is a scam. I mean, I could just be a hater of Jonathan Williams if that's his real name which I doubt it is. What you want to do is first look at the comments and of course there I am. Please remove the scam. And some people, maybe Julia Croco Croco something. Maybe she's maybe it's true but there's other things that people say like Julia, have you been reported? I can't have the FBI. It's funny. Actually we don't have the payments. You don't even know how to lie. So maybe some of them are just haters. Maybe digital asset news is just a hater. Maybe he just hates Jonathan Williams. Well, what we're always going to look for is what is an asymmetrical giveaway. So if we watch the whole video, this guy is going to say here. He's going to say, if you send me just send from a thousand to 10,000 XRP and you're going to get 10,000 to 100,000 back. That's an asymmetrical giveaway. Meaning that if you give somebody a little bit and they give you a lot back that never happens. You are not special.   I don't know. But in general, it's a scam. So just play it safe and always consider everything you see as a scam. And if you want to verify it, first, reach out to Ripple and say, hey, there's a guy named Jonathan Williams and he's got a big head and he's doing a giveaway. So is that true? Is that what's going on? They'll tell you no.  No. Microsoft, no. I mean Elon Musk, Tesla, no. They're all going to tell you no. But if you have to go and do it, go do it. Just make sure you know that you have the time because it can take about 24 hours and just send an email to the actual website and they'll tell you it is a scam. Anyhow, now we got past that little speed bump. Let's just click on the three dots here. Click on report and we're going to put on spam or misleading. We're going to choose one and we're going to say it's scam or fraud. And it doesn't apply to links. It applies to the video. And we're going to say, hey, this is a scam.  So the more people that do this, the better off we are. But that's it. So if you could help me out, I greatly appreciate it. And then that could help somebody just like Droplet here who almost got screwed out of his money. But if it wasn't for people like you and me helping out, he would have lost a lot of his hard earned money. So that's all I ask. So that's it for today. Thanks for sticking with me. See you in the next one.


Hi, my name is Salingar Asha. I work at the Austin's Medical Center and I'm also in school in the Nile Islands, and I'm one of your Galaxy administrators. Today I'll be teaching you how to set up TUS with Galaxy. TUS is a separate server that you can run within your Galaxy server that will make uploads significantly more efficient. Instead of how they normally happen, which is the upload goes to NGINX, then through to the Galaxy of processes in the background running under USG or Unicorn, which then stages them to disk. Instead, they'll go to TUS, which will write them out and then whenever it's done processing them, it'll let Galaxy know and Galaxy can import these files. Setting up is very simple, but you need to be on Galaxy 22.01. So we'll get started. Okay, so in the Galaxy training material, so in the Galaxy training material, you'll need to find performance uploads with TUS to be linked under the video as well. TUS, the first step, like most of the first steps this week, will be to add the role to your playbook or to your requirements. Your Galaxy installation folder should look about like this so far. You've got your Anciel CFG setup, your group variables, requirements. So we're gonna go edit those requirements. And at the bottom, I'm going to add in testing and write that file out. Then you can do, of course, Anciel Galaxy install, minus P rolls, minus R requirements. This will get very familiar with over the week. And it will download any of the missing rolls that you need. With that done, we're ready to configure TUS. In our group variables in Galaxy servers, we need to add TUS configuration in two places. The first place is up here in the Galaxy config. We can come down to the bottom and add in TUS there. We'll be storing the files for TUS and slash data slash TUS. We set up slash data earlier in the Ansible Galaxy tutorial. That's where all of our data's gonna be going, but we're gonna make a subfolder there for all of our TUS data. And then you can copy this giant. And we're gonna paste that down at the end. What this will do is we'll configure a TUSD port. We'll be using port 1080. And I'll configure a single instance. The name will be main. It'll be run under the Galaxy user and group to listen on port 1080. And it will upload to that data directory that we just sent in the Galaxy config. Additionally, you need to know the hostname of our server to connect everything up properly. So we'll write that out. And nearly finally, we need to set up the location in nginx, your templates nginx and galaxy.j2. We can come paste this block in pretty much anywhere. What this will do is it'll set up slash api upload resumable upload. And this has some special proxy buffering settings to disable buffering. It will set forwarding headers and pass that data on to the TUSD port that we specified. And also additionally overrides client max body size to allow upload a very large house. Almost done. You can add the TUSD role to the bottom of your code book. Make sure it is properly indented with and all of these minuses line up. And then you're ready to go. You can run Ansible Playbook Galaxy. It was really this simple. This is one of the choices of Ansible that all of the knowledge of our administrators gets written into these fantastic roles that you'll use and reuse during the week. And you get all of that essentially for free. While we're waiting for that to load, I'm going to load my Galaxy instance. Online's at Gap38.usgalaxy.training. I haven't logged into this one yet. So I still have to accept the risk and continue. Over here on the Galaxy, on the Playbook side, it looks like testing setup and running. We should be able to check data, such tests and see that there's folder there. Fantastic. We'll do system CTL status and look for test D main. It was the code name or the instance name that we specified and see that it's running. You'll note that it gives us some ports here, some, okay, it's using files, using metrics as the metrics pack. If we want to collect metrics from test, we can actually just connect to the test port, localhost, 1080s, metrics, and it'll tell us all sorts of metrics about tests, like how many times it, how many bytes it received, how many connections were open, things like this. Things that could be useful to monitor. Okay, let's upload some data sets. I'm gonna click on upload data and then paste fetch data. And I can paste in some large bytes. Doesn't really matter what content and go ahead and click start. The data set will start uploading in the background. It's going through tests. We can see that by looking at the metrics and maybe graphing for bytes received. And we'll see down here that it's received quite a few bytes. If you need to check what happens with tests, remember that the unit is called testy main and not testy. And here you can see, okay, it's accepted some files, they're being uploaded. It's hooking into Galaxy and telling it, hey, it's done, here's my file, please go collect it. And with that, you've set up plus. It's so easy. Thanks to all of these fantastic Ansible Rules, Galaxy Project puts together. And all of this is easier than ever before. All of the knowledge our administrators is getting made directly available to you. If you like this tutorial, go ahead and click down here fill out the form for us, let's know. And congratulations.


We get asked all the time on the YouTube channel and within our Facebook coaching communities, what fitness gadgets do we use? The answer is none. We don't use fitness gadgets in this video, we're going to explain why. The number one reason why we don't use fitness gadgets is something called artificial complexity. There is so much information on the internet around fitness and nutrition and exercise and when you bring in fitness gadgets as well, it's just more noise that detracts from you doing the thing. By doing the thing, I mean just grabbing your jump rope or doing whatever exercise you usually do and going as hard as you can. So many people focus on, well, let me check my calorie counter and make sure I've burned my thousand calories today or make sure my heart rate's where I need it to be. All that stuff is just creating artificial complexity and detracting from your ability to focus on what matters most, which is just going as hard as you can while you're doing exercise. Listen, we understand there's a lot of great marketing around these fitness gadgets promising you that if you pay attention to these different things that can link them to this study that might help you, you know what's going to help you the most? Just exercising and going as hard as you can and counting the total amount of calories and macronutrients that you're putting in your body.  If you are a competitive athlete and you are seriously in awesome shape and you're paying attention to the numbers, whether it be the calories you're taking in, the heart rate, the amount of steps, the amount of cycles, whatever.  These little incremental things make a big difference for you. I'm speaking to the person who has trouble losing weight. I'm speaking to the person who has been plateaued with their weight for a long time and wondering why am I not seeing results? The reason why you're not seeing results is you're not paying attention to the right things. So my boy Dan's going to come in here and tell you what you should be paying attention to and he's also going to do a little story time and talk to you a little bit about the people who usually use gadgets to get feedback that don't actually help them with reaching their fitness goals. Alright guys, here's the deal. A lot of people in our fitness community and just in the broader YouTube community email us or comment on a video and say how many calories does this workout burn? The problem with relying on gadgets and numbers like the scale or the number of calories you see burn on your little watch, the problem with those numbers is they don't actually give you feedback on the results you're getting. The results that you are getting are going to be seen in the mirror. You have to look at yourself. You have to take pictures of yourself and compare them. You can't step on a scale and look at a number and expect that to tell you the progress you are or are not making. We all know Nancy sitting at the office. She's like, I hit my 10K steps today. Well, Nancy, does your body look any different? No, we all know the dude that's decked out from head to toe and like 500 bucks worth of cycling gear, but he still is like 50 pounds over the weight and has been that way for 10 years. Another example, there's a jump rope out there that counts the number of repetitions that you do. How is that information about how many skips you do? Helping your body lose weight at all. It's not, it's just a number. Be totally honest with you guys. Anyone who's counting the number of skips that they're doing is wasting a lot of head space. Just follow our workouts on the channel and get super intense for durations of 30 seconds. That's all you have to do. You don't have to count how many times the jump rope goes on your legs. The point here is guys, you can have the best outfits. You can have the best watches, but if you're not getting intense during your workouts like Brandon talked about and you're not eating in a calorie deficit, then all of that is pointless and you're just, you're going down a harder route than it needs to be. So guys, the two things we want to focus on is looking at yourself, looking at the progress you are or are not making and second, how are you feeling? So that first one, what I'm talking about is consistently each week, looking in the mirror, taking pictures of yourself and measuring things like your waist. If you are, for example, not fitting in to your pants anymore because you've lost a bunch of weight, but the scale is still saying the same number, is that a bad thing? No, that's a great thing.   Guys, we get it. We understand and appreciate you taking interest in your health by buying some of these gadgets and we know it's very well intentioned but the problem is guys, in a world that's filled with artificial complexity, many people focus way too much on the numbers rather than the actual results that they are producing. You guys, we want you to walk away from this video understanding that most fitness gadgets are not going to get you closer to reaching whatever your fitness goal is. If you are a competitive athlete, awesome. Go use a fitness gadget. We don't use them because they detract from our ability to just do the thing and enjoy the process. We want to go exercise and we want to go as hard as we can and we want to leave it there. We don't want to have to go look at all these analytics. We're talking about not using tools like Fitbits and things that count your calories as you're moving throughout the day, that count your steps, that count how many heart beats you have per minute. These are the things that detracts from you just doing the thing. So if you've been plateaued for a while, you're not seeing results and you're spending energy and conscious attention on using these kind of gadgets, stop using them and start focusing on what matters most. We hope this video was helpful for you guys. You now got some perspective on what the Zen dudes do with their lives and how we think about fitness technology. I think in the future, this stuff's going to get a lot more interesting but right now, most of these tools are not necessary. So if you liked this video, please like it. Comment if you have any questions below. If you have tools you think are super helpful and we don't know about them, drop below. We haven't seen them yet.

Welcome to the AI for Good Global Summit here at ITU headquarters in Geneva. I'm now joined by Professor Kasahara, who's actually also president of the IEEE Computer Society, which is a huge group of experts like yourself around the world. I know that you're also dealing a lot with education and also you're helping the Japanese in your country with autonomous vehicles. Tell me first of all, what is IEEE? IEEE is the world's largest academic organization having 400,000 members. My IEEE Computer Society is the largest society in IEEE. We have more than 60,000 members in the world. Tomorrow, we will have an MOU with ITU for future collaboration in education, conference, publication, and the standards, everything. So this is a great honor to participate in AI for Good, this event, and I also have an MOU with ITU. Talking about education, how is AI good for education? So a lot of aspects we can collaborate. We will develop a kind of content together with ITU. That kind of content I would like to include for the children. So looking at 10 years, 20 years later, we can create a very stimulus video showing the future organized by AI and computing technology. Maybe children have interest and join our community in the future. So collaboration will be very important. As there's a big debate going on about AI, are you positive about AI for the future? In Japan, robotics is a friend and a whole human. Every time a robot helps humans. Of course, we have a kind of a condition to develop robotics, not harmful for human beings, and collaborate. Of course, we have a minus point. We should think about that kind of a minus factor, but we should push past factors for the human being. Ok, thank you very much Professor. Thank you very much. Well that was Professor Kesahara of Waseda University in Tokyo, talking to us about his role with AI in education, autonomous vehicles, and of course Japan, where robots are so important.
