So if an f-bomb or two isn't your cup of tea I suggest logging off right now. Lastly. These are my thoughts my perceptions my opinions by no means Do I suggest this is the truth you have to decide the truth for yourself? Here's the thing I'm a bit of a contrarian so my advice goes against the grain So you have to decide for yourself and if I've changed your perspective then great and if not, that's okay, too All right, let's talk about how to make a man chase you. It's easier than you think All right really quickly before we get started. I want to Identify the word chase as I've used in this video And I'd much prefer to replace it with the word invest invest because the idea of chasing someone is This person's running away and you're chasing them and ideally if you're in the dating practice You're not actually running away from someone that they actually have to chase you So I believe a healthier way to approach the process is when two people Mutually invest in one another. Let me repeat that two people mutually invest in one another and One of the challenges we have in dating today, and let's face it. It is a cluster F out there Let's find no let's let's call it for what it is. It is a very frustrating process In fact, recently I was chatting with a friend and they go is there any way I can bypass the dating process and go straight to the Relationship process because they didn't want to go through all the the headaches and the aggravation that occurs when it when you're actually Getting to know another human being Nice, let me repeat that again getting to know another human being Isn't that what dating is is getting to know another human being because the reality is is these days Most of the time we're meeting total strangers. We're meeting total strangers where we know nothing about them We don't know their values. We don't know their background. We don't know their lifestyles and more importantly, we don't know their level of emotional maturity and Yet sadly the dating narrative, especially much of the dating advice is out there is centered around Romance to build attraction. I'm gonna beat that romance to build attraction Now there was this grand expectation that romance is somehow going to lead to Relationship success and I'm here to say romance doesn't lead to relationship success There are a lot of other factors that need to happen for relationship success And do you know how I know this think of all the couples who have gotten married in the last 50 or 60 years That were at the altar Expressing their love and how much they loved each other only to divorce years later. Think about that It wasn't romance that caught I mean it romance was not the indicator of the Relationship success and so there are plenty of people that approach the dating process from a level of attraction and not understanding the true Panics to compatibility and if you're not familiar with my relationship iceberg I'm here to share it like I do all the time if you look at it right now above the waterline is Chemistry we hype. That's what we see at first. That's where attraction is and below the waterline is compatibility shared values Blendable lifestyles and emotional maturity and yet most folks don't focus on the more important things in a relationship and Hence why there's so many Starts and stops starts and stops and they start and stop right from the get-go When we when we swipe right or swipe left to another human being and it's rather Frustrating and I know many of you are absolutely frustrated with the process in fact I'm here to say that dating Triggers the number one emotional health issue facing most everybody and the reason why I say dating triggers this I want you to imagine you've gone on a date.  I'm not lovable and I'm not likeable I'm here to say if you've ever felt that way I want to reach across the screen give you a big gigantic gigantic Jonathan bear hug if that's okay And I want to invite you to ask yourself What would love do and how would love respond because what would love do and how love would respond now? I'm not suggesting it would suggest buying the book But my book is called what the heck is self-love anyway What the heck is self-love anyway? There's a link below to Jonathan recommend books because I'm here to say when we invest in our own sovereignty our own Self-word self-esteem self-confidence. We approach the process with less Expectation and a greater understanding is what does it take to truly connect with another human being that makes them want to? Invest in you or we could use the word chase if that makes you feel better. I prefer the word invest What's it take for a man or woman to genuinely invest with one to with each other? Here's the thing. It's actually more about developing the friendship than it is about the romance I'm repeat that it's more about developing the friendship because here's the bottom line and let me ask you everybody Let me ask you this question When you think of your best friend and you think of the word communication I'm repeat that when you think of the word best friend and when you think of the word communication in response to your best friend What's the first thing that comes to mind? I know for me What comes to mind is I can say anything to my best friend. I can share my truth I can be vulnerable. I can be authentic. I can be transparent So this narrative that the whole dating process is centered around building attraction That's great for jumping into bed It is great for jumping the bed and for if you're just looking to get laid then build that attraction all you want Because if you want to build a deeper richer relationship, then it's going to require to go deeper yourself And how do we build a friendship? We build a friendship through social activities hobbies mutual interest spending time with family and friends That's how we build Friendship and when you've developed an actual friendship with the person that you're dating They want to keep investing more and more in the relationship when two people are equally investing in the relationship They start to form a bond like this that eventually becomes a bond like this that you can't break apart And yet sadly so few people are actually creating that they're actually investing in Getting to know each other at a friendship level at a friendship level It's because so many of you've been indoctrinated in the ridiculous book called the rules Which is all centered mostly on how to create tension So they chase you how to create tension so they chase you so the narrative that playing hard to get might cause an emotionally unhealthy man an Emotionally avoidant man even a needy man to chase you. There's no doubt about it creating tension will make the Emotionally immature people chase you but here's the thing you need to understand about human beings the vast majority of people are Emotionally immature or they have weak relationship skills And I'm going to show we a new graph for you all So I'm going to show this on the screen and if you could see at the top It says emotional maturity and relationship skills and this first 20% Are the absolute clinical issues people that have absolute clinical issues that make it very difficult for them to maintain emotional maturity or Even any level of capable of being in relationship and then the other 20% over here are those emotionally mature people who have developed the skills To actually communicate with one another in a healthy way and as you can see in the middle.  Claiming you I know you've been sold on the idea of being claimed property is claimed a Partnership is a shared experience a partnership is a shared experience. This is why I'm not big on playing games I'm big on showing up in your loving self Loving self and I want to invite you all to practice when I'm about to share because at the end of the day What's gonna make two people really invest remember? I said invest. It's not about chasing What's gonna make two people genuinely invest in each other is what I call the four? Well, I don't call it the four a's I learned something called the four a's and that is attention affection Appreciation and acceptance attention affection appreciation and acceptance attention means being present How many people have you gone on date and they're always thinking about the future a lot of you women are thinking about where's this relationship going? Where's this relationship going and you're not present? Guys are thinking about work work work work work, and you're thinking about where's the relationship going Folks if you genuinely want to get to know someone be present to what's happening in the moment Number one attention affection listen What's the point of being in a relationship if you can't touch each other the idea is to physically give each other a affection to one another that's what makes you want to come back for more and then Appreciation, you know, I was watching a video that earlier said absence makes the heart grow fonder Bullshit absence doesn't make the grout go on make the heart grow fonder what that does is create an unhealthy trigger of Missing someone that might make you temporarily go after that person, but that doesn't actually fill their soul what genuinely fills another person's soul is when two people Genuinely appreciate one another they appreciate one another Appreciation is what makes the heart grow fonder and not absence This is why I'm not a big proponent of playing hard to get or giving a man space because you think that's going to make him chase you Yes, it makes them temporary Listen emotionally unhealthy men will temporarily chase you I get it But you don't want those emotionally unhealthy men you want those genuine men who are ready to be in a relationship Now here's the hard part You're gonna have to learn how to ask better questions in the dating process And if you need some help with that check out the link below to a free discovery call with me My whole coaching practice is centered around understanding true compatibility learning how to ask the questions specific to your personality that helps you understand If this person is right for you and lastly how to vet for emotional maturity that is more important than Romance it's learning how to vet this other person The dating process is a vetting process to decide if you want to be in relationship with someone and a Relationship is a vetting process to decide if you want partnership with another human being and quite frankly most of you out There are winging it you're winging it You're winging it and men are rather clueless to the mechanics of a healthy happy relationship This is why I continually recommend the book eight dates by doctors John and Julie Gottman eight dates Listen, this book teaches you the mechanics to a healthy happy relationship. I Was watching a divorce attorney. I've watched an interview with a divorce attorney earlier Do you know if you look at if you actually spent some time in? Family court at divorce court, and you actually I know you're not going to do this I have actually done this several times I've sat in court and listened to all of the problems these couples were having that caused them to have to have a divorce And what occurred to me is maybe if we reverse Engineer this and deal with the problems head on right from the very first date You don't end up in either being ghosted breadcrumbs Broken up, you know ditched, you know, not breaking up with you and eventually even a divorce if you got married This is why I recommend all these books so you understand that ultimately The couples that really go the distance are the couples that say the same thing if you look at a picture of my mom and dad That's the picture of them right right about the time they got married. They were together 66 years I once sat down with three other My parents and two other couples they'd all they're they're all good friends collectively 150 years of marriage and they all said the same thing They married their best friend and they didn't mean that they were best friends when they got married What they mean is their friendship was the cause of their amazing Relationship and so ladies since I my audience is women men aren't thinking about this You're going to have to be in charge of suggesting Social activities hobbies mutual interests doing things together. Maybe it's playing video games together. Maybe it's playing gin rummy together That told on one second everybody hold on. I don't like doing this Want to share with you a quick story Here's a card a deck of cards. This was actually gifted to me by a client. I once met a woman We're on our second date. She pulled out a deck of cards and said do you like gin rummy I said, yeah I'm okay with it. So we started to play and every time we got together we played gin rummy and I loved it. It was so much fun We were so competitive with one another and while it didn't turn into a relationship because we weren't a good fit I actually after we stopped seeing each other I missed the idea of playing gin rummy with somebody now I will tell you she happens to now be a friend in my life and we got together a couple years ago before the pandemic to watch a Football game at a bar that are her son owns and she brought out a deck of cards and while watching football We're playing gin rummy and I loved it You see the smile on my face when we can start doing things that we love together That's what bonds us to one another and that's what makes us want to invest when you can feel like you're hanging out and Talking with a really dear friend. In fact, you know what folks? I know the idea of hanging out gets a bad rap because it's usually sexually oriented. I can tell you one of my best Relationships we actually all we did on the second third and fourth date as we won hung out our home And we talked with one another and I loved it and she loved it.  I wanted to get to know her and sometimes when we're sitting in a relaxed Environment, that's one of the best places to get to know one another now Here's the thing she and I had a lot of mutual friends. We knew each other There was a lot of familiarity before we did that I am not suggesting that you go to someone's home You don't know or inviting someone to your home that you don't genuinely know what I'm saying though is Hanging out is a great way to actually get to know another human being instead of the romance driven way That a lot of people are teaching especially the princess coaches They all want to be wind and dined but let's face it lining dining doesn't necessarily lead to relationship success What leads to relationship success is when you can wind and dine each other's heart from an emotional level And if you haven't read the book if the Buddha dated if the Buddha dated I highly recommend Reading this book so you can learn how to connect with someone at a heart-centered level Instead of a romance based level. Okay, so what's gonna make a man chase or invest in you? When he actually feels like you're his friend and let me just tell you this folks A lot of you are in relationships and you're not even good friends with one another and that's sad All right, that's the gist of my talk today Now we're going to jump into the q&a portion for those who are very or listening to or who are here on the video live There's a chat box where you can post questions We're going to take questions for a little bit if you're listening to the audio just bear with me And again, if you have a question write the word question and then post the question thereafter So it's easier for me to find or you can purchase a super sticker or super chat There's a little dollar sign at the bottom of the chat box the super the money's from the super sticker super chat Goes to a scholarship fund in the name of my son Connor as like that's a picture of him right there That's and there it is right there That's my son who passed away a few years ago and in his honor I've created a scholarship fund to defray the cost of personal development for those who would like personal development support So purchase the super sticker super chat. That's where the funds go to All right We're going to get started right now. So let me look at the q&a board and I see we have a couple questions already Coco writes Question What would you say if he says he wants to move in with you but doesn't want to feel trapped but when you when he's not with you He misses you Um, well, there's that's a more of a complicated question Oh, sorry, click the box. So first off, how long have you been dating? Have you talked about the finances of moving in together? This is a very complex conversation talking about moving in with one another And when he says he doesn't but doesn't want to feel trapped Um, I would ask him. What does that mean to you? What does being trapped mean to you? And then when he says when he's not with you he misses you That's a very dysfunctional way to demonstrate love. Love isn't half listen folks I don't believe healthy love happens when we miss someone I believe healthy love happens when we appreciate someone So I would want to know what does feeling trapped mean and I would try to dig a little further as to why Does he feel more appreciation for you when he misses you instead of in your company?  That's at least my um That's in at least the way I'm looking at it. Anyway, so koko. Thank you so much for that question But again again have a conversation. This is a very important conversation There's a lot of mechanics to moving in together. That's not my air of expertise But I would start with a real heart-centered conversation first. So, um, thank you again for that question. I appreciate it All right, let's see what chloe says Question my ex is back with a heart with a heart broken from another woman He said he's not ready for a relationship But wants to go out wants me to go out with him and I'd like to spend time with him also. What should I do?  Okay Now when he says he's not ready for relationship, guess what? He's not ready for a relationship Now if you're hoping that magic fairy dust will somehow change all of this Let me just tell you something if he's going through a heartbreak It takes time to mend someone's heart To actually reintegrate into their own sovereignty their self-worth their self-esteem And it takes some healing Before someone is ready. And so what you end up what you are is the distraction So do you remember in the movie jerry maguire jerry maguire?   You have to decide for yourself.  He's looking at your female energy To be his therapist.  That's a bright shiny penny Anyways, that's okay. That's not an absolute I'm just giving you probably a 95 chance. That's what's going to happen But of course you ladies always like to hold out for the five percent So go knock yourself out and enjoy the ride And then when it when it blows up in your face, just remember what I just said Or at least that's my invitation. Anyway, chloe. Thank you so much for your question. Sorry. I had to be harsh there All right Oh my god, there is just a lot of activity on the board here um question G wartman says why would I feel happy trying to maintain a friendship with a man that ghosted me several times?  Why would I feel happy trying to maintain? Well, then obviously my my invitation for you is you probably have some childhood wounds or trauma That makes you attracted to this man I highly recommend reading the book getting the love you want by Harvelle Hendricks and Helen Hunt So you can understand the amago. What's probably the attraction to him is some familiar childhood wounds That relates to one or both your parents That's what causes human beings to go after dysfunctional people Remember when I showed you this emotional maturity and relationship skills Okay, and I said 20 of people are in the absolute clinical clinical issue stage 60 are in the dysfunctional stage and then there's 20 who are actually emotionally mature When we are emotionally dysfunctional we make poor choices for ourselves I repeat that when we're emotionally dysfunctional we make poor choices for ourselves. This is why I continually recommend reading my book What the heck is self love anyway? And I definitely want everyone to read the book how to be an adult in relationship because children go after the bright shiny penny adults operate from a more intentional space of understanding the mechanics to a healthy happy relationship. So that's my invitation for you on that one and Ms. Wortman, I'm just going to suggest Don't invest in someone who isn't ready to invest in you. That's my invitation for you anyway. Thank you for your question I really appreciate it All right, let's go swim in Candice writes question. Can you explain since you're a man why men pull away When they are stressed with work and life and what's the best thing I can do to be supportive? But give space. Okay, great question. Okay So it's very natural for human beings to pull away Man or woman to pull away emotionally when there is chaos going on in their life Now to it's one thing to pull away emotionally. It's another thing to pull away from the relationship What's most likely happen is you haven't really built that genuine friendship skills In your relationship that makes that would encourage a man to lean into Speaking to you when he's going through chaos instead of pulling away Okay, so what's most likely missing is your relationship lacks a genuine foundation of friendship Because most likely you haven't really shored up Do you have share the same values is your lifestyle blendable and lastly are you two emotionally mature people? So it's very common for emotionally immature people to pull away from a relationship men and women alike because the relationship lacks That genuine sense of friendship because that's the core piece that makes a relationship go the distance That's the core piece that makes a man want to chase or what I say invest in you Is when you develop that true core friendship with one another What does friendship look like? It's social activities. It's hobbies. It's mutual interest. It's spending time with family and friends It's traveling together. It's teamwork building skills in both your personal and your professional life It's intimacy both physical and emotional intimacy. It's learning a good communication skills Especially when you're having conflict with one another learning to listen to your partner's point of view Accepting your partner's point of view is being true for them and you doing the same for them. It's acceptance It's appreciation.  We've got traumas. We've got stuff that needs healing And you're either working on your stuff or you're not and sadly most people aren't doing the healing work So they can actually lean into a healthy happy relationship. This is why I continually recommend books to show up your life And yet many of you are resistant to doing the work which tells me you're equally immature Because if you're not willing to invest in yourself To make yourself more emotionally mature to have those skills to be a better communicator in relationship Then you're going to be suffering Again, what's the definition of insanity doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results Stop it start leaning into your sovereignty your self-worth self-esteem. That's my invitation for you all And what that's what you do Don't focus on what he's doing focus on what you're doing folks He pulls away. You can give a heartfelt. Hey I I see that you're taking space, you know, since we have a relationship with one another I want you know, I'm here for you if you need me and I understand why you're taking space I just want you to know while you're taking care of yourself if you go take care of yourself too long I may not be your girlfriend at the end of the day So you have a choice. You can either lean into our relationship together or you can move on. I'm okay with either one I'm okay with either one because you know what I love myself to know that no matter what I'm going to be okay Whether you're in my life or not At least that's my invitation. Try that out for size. All right. Thank you so much for that question Who was that was that canvas? Thank you so much. I appreciate it And that's coming from a man by the way. So thanks again for that question All right. Maya says question Me and my partner of three years took a break, but still hang out in text and call often Even bought me a gift. He decided to go sell sell a bit, but still Messes messes with me. What should I think of us? You know what? You know it to me. What is the depth so when two people are not in a romantic relationship then what kind of relationship are they in? We often call people friends, but what is a true friend I like the way Jerry fine Seinfeld talked about a friend He once said a true friend is the person will help you move furniture that will help you move furniture That's a true friend. Here's the thing a lot of human beings out here have a lot of social Acquaintances even with past lovers. They are merely social acquaintances. What makes a true friend You know folks when my son Connor passed away again, there's a picture of him right here My the woman that I was in relationship a couple years before Would we ended it a year before Connor passed away? You know when she heard of it, I mean I was she was one of the first people I called because she knew my son intimately First words out of her mouth. What that makes me cry now. What can I do for you? What can I do? And you know when it came to the funeral and it was a big expense She helped defray the cost That's what a friend does A friend is there for you during the hard times a friend is there for you When you're going through struggles and they're going to sit by your side and they're going to hold that umbrella when it's raining They're holding it over you and not themselves That's what a genuine friend does And yet so many of you call your ex lover friends When they would never be there for you when you're going through a hard time to me Those are the relationships. I want to nurture Are the ones that say I'm going to be there for you through thick and thin Otherwise, there are social acquaintance and I am so grateful. In fact, this woman I spoke of Even though we ended our relationship in june of 2017 and my mother passed away in november of 2017 She was there at the hospital spending time with my mom That's because we had a friendship and we didn't get hung up in the egoic Bullshit that happens after a breakup. We said it's okay that we ended the relationship And it's okay to maintain that loving Connection with one another it doesn't mean we have to talk on the phone every day with one another But certainly be there for one another and I am blessed that she's in my life So anyway, that's my two cents on that Maya. Thank you so much for that question All right, thank you for that question All right, let's go swimming Hey, I'm going to take a break for a second. I do have a vent to share with you all I'm gonna be candid with you. It is I've been a little bit Saddened of late And I've been under a tremendous amount of stress and pressure And it saddens me what's happening in the world right now the divide amongst people especially here in the united states And it saddens me. It's us against them blue against red You know all the different shades of of hatred going on out there And it saddens me because that's now how love would respond. That's not what love would do And so my hope is to be a channel of it of maybe shifting your perspective But also shifting to what love would do So I want to share with you something that happened this morning And I want to read this to you all I got a message on one of my videos that said Give me a second because this is going to be painful. It said memo to jonathan It's not sexy to keep whining about losing your son If after you've already stated it not only is it a turnoff it sends a message your You have no room in your heart and space for a relationship wake up, dude Do you know if you wonder why the dating process is dysfunctional if you wonder why There's so much angst in the world It's because human beings aren't operating from a place of what would love do and how would love respond And when I read that of course I got triggered and of course I got angry And then I thought to myself hurt people hurt others Hurt people hurt others And sadly there are a lot of hurting people out there and they are hurting other people This is why I'm such a big proponent of learning how to ask better questions So you can avoid spending time with the wrong person and start spending time with people who are genuinely going to enrich your life This is why I recommend so many of these books out here And I want to encourage you all to operate from a place of love That's just my invitation and just like this person who wanted to attack me I still send her love because that's a hurt person Her life is way more messed up than mine and I'm grateful that I'm in a place to be able to send love Instead of and again, I judged in the moment and I got angry in the moment And then I shifted to love and that's my invitation for everyone if you want to shift to love Can you give me an amen? Can you write an amen for me to let me know you're going to operate from a place of love going forward? Thank you so much Ah all right And by the way, uh Janet says sharing the loss is important for the healing exactly Um Jennifer Janet says amen Jackie says amen. Michelle says amen Megan says amen Hazel there Uh robin says amen. So thank you so much. I really appreciate it. All right. Let's go scrolling all right Sherry says I'm sorry that someone would feel that way and we should chastise you for grieving your son That is hurt person for sure. Thank you so much. I agree All right, let me go through some of our questions Power of chi writes Jonathan What do you do if you're dating a man? That's red pill and doesn't believe in being friends with a woman that he's dating You know, I don't know enough about the red pill community to answer that I'm just here to say is I'm a big proponent of human beings coming at the process from a place of love And sadly many people are coming from a place of Woundedness and from what I understand whether it's blue pill red pill or whatever There's some woundedness going on and so we have a choice. We can be compassionate or we can judge But I don't know enough to answer that for you. So thank you so much Um, all right Let's see. All right, if you have a question, let me scroll here Ah Bump bump bump All right, let's go swim in. Do you have a question post the word question? Oh, here we go from kimberley question But not I lost my son as well as you know and those horrible people who do not stand by us or not people We share life with our love Listen, I understand that and yet I can also still come from a place of compassion folks. Listen I've had this isn't the first time I've had a message like that about my son In fact, I've had someone even to say that I use my son as a way to gain sympathy I use my son as a manipulation tool folks Nobody no parent Wants to lose a child and then go. Oh, let me use that as a manipulation tool I share about my son as a way to keep him in live in my heart I share about him because he was the impetus To writing the book what the heck is self love anyway? By the way dedicated to connor Dedicated to him right there.  I know it's a clusterfuck out there The reality is is people are thirsty for connection And yet they're not necessarily capable of a relationship if they don't have good communication skills It makes them very weak to be in relationship And this is why I continually recommend the book non-violent communication by marshal rozenberg This book teaches you how to communicate in a healthier happier way And if folks would start communicating in this way We would start seeing a big shift in the dating narrative. This is why there's another book To really change your heart. I this is the cd version, but I highly recommend Marianne williamson's book return to love return to love This this book helped me connect with my heart And I invite you all to connect with your heart and my bible of all books Is the untethered soul by michael singer the untethered soul by michael singer folks The reason why I continually recommend book after book after book after book after book after book after book after book after book Because I can't give you listen. I know a lot of my contemporaries say join my four-week program So you can learn magnetic attraction. Well, that's great Attraction is about what's about this much of the product never do this to a guy by the way ladies Attraction is about this much of it Compatibility is this much about it emotional maturity is about this much about it shared values is That's poor english on my part shared values blendable lifestyles emotional maturity compatibility It's this much of the equation Attraction is only this much we need attraction If you want to go deeper then you're gonna have to make friends with one another and you You all do such a terrible job at this because you're expecting men to lead the process and the men are fucking clueless So stop expecting men to know this stuff. You're the ones who watch this channel.  I'm yelling so you can stop Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results and look. I'm your big brother I wish I was there on a first date with the shotgun pointed to the guy's head and say what's your intentions Folks, you're gonna have to do that for yourself compassion for yourself Compassion for him ask better questions. Don't invest time with people who aren't ready for a relationship Invest time with that 20% that's emotionally mature. And if you need help with that Schedule a call with me. That's my area of expertise all right Let's take a few more questions before we wrap up today um Jerry says How do I get them to stop chasing me? No doesn't work telling them. I'm not interested doesn't work either Well, unless they're physically in your life and block them on your phone You're not you don't have to stop them You could just stop being engaged with them by simply blocking because the reality is is no one's showing up at your doorstep chasing you They're just and they might be on your social media. So block them on social media and block their phone It's rather simple. That's it. That's what I would do Jerry All right. Thanks so much Kelly says My condolences to everyone who lost someone we all need and deserve love forever. Can I get an amen? Well said Kelly Violetta says question Do you have any experience in your life or practice where your dates? Scammed you on social scammed you on social media because you didn't show up on the date for personal reasons and didn't have access to call um Oh, I'm assuming you mean slammed you on social media. Yeah, I've kind of had a situation like that. Listen There are haters out.   I have a choice I chose to to get angry for a second and then I shifted to love and that's my invitation for you all Um, but any my I don't know what to do in that situation other than to block them And I block people all the time if I think they are unhinged And believe me a lot of women can be absolutely unhinged I'll block them just to protect myself from any Nasty rhetoric out there So that's my invitation. So thank you so much for that question All right All right scooby scooby do Where are you? All right Candace says questions so follow up to my last question. I checked in with him and told Me and he told me he was been very busy stress with work So I told him I'm here, but he does keep texting every day. Do I match his investment?   Do you do social activities hobbies mutual interests spending time with family and friends traveling together teamwork building skills? Intimacy both physical and emotional intimacy. What is this relationship all about? folks It's natural in the beginning to bolt when you have stress in your life If couples aren't developing the deep roots to trust early on the deep roots of trust emotional connection Economic agreement social activities hobbies mutual interest spending time with family and friends of intimacy If the deep roots of trust aren't being built.  That's my invitation for everyone to co-create a relationship together And if you don't know how Check out the book spiritual partnership by gary zuccoff. This will help you understand How to co-create a relationship together instead of this narrative. How's your day going? Is your day going good? I hope your day is going good. Hey, I hope you had a good day. By the way, did you have a good day? I've been thinking about you. Hope you had a good day Folks, most of you are talking at a surface level at a surface level in your relationship There's a meme I like that I want to share with you all y'all Um, and that meme is this That's right there.    I don't want to know what's up Folks, most of you are in surface relationship Having surface conversation if you want to go deeper then read this book together Because when you do it together if you guys are meant to be you're going to build a strong bond together By becoming intimate with one another and if you haven't read the book oral sex and by the way I think it's out of print at the moment. So there's similar books like this talking and listening your way to passionate intimacy Intimacy intimacy into me you see You have to learn how to develop intimacy with one another instead of just you know what let's just take it slow Let's just have fun.  Let's focus on having fun. It's all about having fun Let's just have fun. Let's not be serious. Let's just have fun Folks all the fun in the world isn't going to create an awesome relationship until you start developing that Intimate relationship with one another and I'm going off on a tangent canvas, but that's how I feel about this subject So I think you get the gist of where I'm going All right You know folks I my neck is feeling a little sore. So I think this will be a good place to wrap up today Again, I just want to remind you it's not about a man chasing you It's about two people investing in one another and the best way to invest in one another Is to develop the core friendship through social activities hobbies mutual interest spending time with family and friends That's the best way to develop the friendship because that's what makes people want more and more Versus less and less when you can actually be vulnerable authentic and transparent with one another from a heart-centered space And that's my invitation for y'all y'all All right, I think this will be a good place to wrap up today. I hope you found value Please tell your friends. Oh, I forgot to share with you my mug today is love yourself love yourself Hmm And I just want you all again if you found value check out the links in the description of this video To schedule a discovery call with me to purchase my book about my podcast my group Midlife love mastery if you want to have direct access to me on a regular basis check out that link And please share this video with your friends Okay, I'm going to wrap up today as I always do first off giving myself a big gigantic job the barrack of self love Um, I'm going to reach into the camera and give you a hug of love if that's okay I'm going to ask you to turn to someone a pet a teddy bear pillow and give it or them a hug of love Because hugs are a great source of love and let's face it. We could all use more love in our lives I want to thank deedy and jennifer and robin and sherry and kandace and kelly And deedy and f l and heidi and jennifer and power of chi and beth and f l And todd way to seek way to go todd. I want to thank you all for being here today Have a wonderful weekend. Be well. Take care now


Maintaining situational awareness while driving is easier said than done. It's very easy to let your minds get diverted from the true task at hand. As the article suggests, we need to train ourselves to switch our minds into a more aware state. Let's go back to Joe Darden and listen to him talk about driving distractions. One of the key things that a lot of people talk about, and we talk about a lot during the program, is distractions that happen to the driver while they're behind the wheel. And that's huge. There are a lot of distractions that are out there, whether they're in the vehicle or outside of the vehicle, that can pull the driver's attention away from the task at hand, which is driving. Earlier we talked about you want to get from point A to point B safely. Well, in between those points, everything else is going on in the car. And what we'll do a lot of times is I'll actually have people write down ten distractions on a piece of paper, give them five minutes to do that. Then we'll come back and I'll write on the board what the people have put down on their paper. And what we'll end up with is somewhere between 30 and 40 distractions that we've written up on the board.  Everybody says the radio's a distraction. Well, there's a lot of newer things that come out that people don't think about. GPS receivers that are in cars and mounted in the dash now are a distraction a lot of times because people are looking at that rather than looking at the road. Or the DVD player that's in the back that the kids are looking at now or the ones that they even have in the dash of some cars are distractions. So we'll go through all these distractions. We've got 35 to 40 of them on the board typically. And we'll say, okay, let's go through now and put a check mark by the distractions that we can eliminate completely. And what we'll find is at the end of that, there's only two or three maybe at the most that are not 100% controllable by the driver. There's nothing ever that forces me to answer my cell phone when it rings when I'm driving the car. There's nothing ever, I'm never so thirsty that I've got to drink it while I'm driving a cup of water or whatever. I can pull over, I can do whatever. It's my choice to do that stuff. I can choose to mess with my radio. I can choose to look at my GPS. I can choose to have that conversation. I can choose to look at the person sitting next to me while I'm talking to them instead of looking at the road when I'm driving. All those things are choice. And when it comes down to it, all of these decisions we've talked about all the way up to this point have been all about choice. You choose whether or not you're going to drive defensively when you're behind the wheel. You choose whether or not you're going to have a safe following distance. You're going to talk on your cell phone and be distracted while you're behind the wheel. So all those distractions, if you can eliminate those, every one of those distractions you get rid of, you've just given yourself one more chance to not be involved in a crash. When I talk to people that are driving for a living, I focus, yeah, it's your job. If you don't drive safely, you could end up having crashes and now you don't have a job anymore. But also, you try to focus on, well, if you get involved in a crash and you have an injury, what does that mean to you personally? If you're injured to the point where now you can't do your job anymore. So now you can't make the livelihood that you're accustomed to and now you've got to find a new career, something else to do. And if that doesn't impact them, when you think about, okay, what do you like to do when you're not at work? I like to go fishing when I'm not at work. So if I can't walk down a stream bed because my back so sore because my leg's been broken or whatever, or if I like to play golf and my back so sore that I can't follow through on my golf swing or whatever the case may be, now all of a sudden I found a reason for that person to think of it a little bit more. It comes right down to it. All the defensive driver training in the world is great, but it comes back down to when that person's behind the wheel of the vehicle, whether they choose to apply the stuff that they've learned or whether they choose to follow in old habits and just drive through that automatic driving where they just start, when they get there, they're there, haven't really put that much thought into it.  You're in the vehicle, you're getting from point A to point B.  You're not checking your mirrors every five to eight seconds. You're not moving your point of concentration every two to three seconds to actively search for the threats that are out there on the roadway with you. The threats are there. It's your job to find them. When I talk about you want to train constantly, you always want to be in that mode of, there's a threat out here, I need to find it. I need to make sure that when that person steps off the curb or when that vehicle comes through the intersection or when that edge of the shoulder gets soft, I know that's going to happen before I get there and I'm going to have my vehicle set up in the right place before I get to that point. Because once this stuff unfolds and it gets to the point where that's happening, by then you're just in that reactionary mode and there's really nothing you can do but sit along and go for the ride and hope everything works out okay. Whereas if you're more proactive about it and you're planning ahead and actively searching for those threats, you can prevent so many of the crashes that you read about in the paper and so many of the crashes that you see on TV, they would just never even occur because you saw that had the potential to happen well in advance and just removed yourself from that situation by using defensive driving practices.


All right, let's watch this in full first here This one does not have any sounds the previous version does. I'm gonna show the previous version as well There's an interesting camera changes. I did not expect here Still all very cool idea I'm just not hugely a fan of that closed camera, but it's all done so This is the old one with sound They both still have that very long opening which I would still cut since there's nothing really that happens at the beginning there And this one I'm one of the comments was that it was just a bit far away. So I like that you brought it closer That framing up a bit too soon Still something happening But I thought that this was clear in terms of like how far away we are It still had some of that covering, but I think that I mean that was kind of okay It was just close Just that Here was just too slow, which is still happening in this new version But that just has a good cues about the sound when he shoots It's not super clear without the sound, right? So in this version Again, it's still fairly long. I would still cut that either you start here Or I mean unless you have something where the door is Shaking and and you have sound but the thing is if no one has the sound on it's going to be just a very long shot that people You will just turn off like the movie or you know switch it off click it off So to me it seems like I would just start around here Like I said in the old one I do like that it's closer that this action is much cooler But I think we're going up too high still where That height I would have his head around here So I would just tilt down and reframe this a bit more But the actions are great if you more breakdowns there than before I think it's very cool And I like that slipping around there on the legs And also the pushing off using The gun there I would just be careful once you do that push off, but Have more an extended arm like it pushes off and that extension there and then he brings that arm up But it's all a matter of more breakdowns Then Now that we're closer was it was already framed up a bit too high, but now that we're closer It's it's more pronounced I would against tilt down and reframes that the head is here So we don't cut off right there and we don't have something here This is unless you had a second creature coming in it's framed as if we're expecting something to come in So once we're around here, this is better if it was throughout like this Now if you have problems with the framing because of the step mode you might have to spline this just to kind of see What the general action is so we can reframe But like I said in the other clip I can help you with What's the word with some handheld camera stuff could be kind of fun to do this is better That you are reframing After the creature does this I think that's a lot better But what I would do is since there's no sound I would just indicate With some you know crappy sphere or something or some lines when the character shootings you have it So we can see what's going on right now It just shoots and we need to know is that because of the recoil or is that because of a post change? So watch out for that and definitely splining is going to help you because that stuff is a bit funky But we're really popping over one frame Not knowing how long this is actually going to take and their framing is is a bit wonky But I feel like in this Version we're too close like now. We're really covering Like the creature and we're just a bit too close. I kind of prefer the framing of the old one Where it's I would say max this but again, we're covering this a lot more. I did the one that just had the foot Watch out. We are also framing up too quickly. So it would have to be the character that motivates that reframe So I'll go tilt down with the camera still and only now go up that's driven by the character Yeah, I feel like we're just too close. We're starting to miss A lot of information. This gets a bit. I mean it has that feeling of claustrophobia. Oh, we're too close And oh what's gonna happen, but I feel in terms of showing off animation I think you're just a bit too close and you want to show off your cool ideas just a bit more like that gets a bit Like we're really close. You're getting into some Funky framing you're covering depending on how the breakdowns are you might be covering the face for too long Like generally I like how this character is looming over this character. I think that's cool Well, we're just a bit too close and this still has that very slow Um, what's it called tilt up? But of course, uh, my question last time was if you wanted to do You know some very complex animation Maybe tilt up linger a little bit and do that animation here and then tilt up a bit more To do the final where there might be a bit of a lean in over the other character's face as opposed to just one long Tilt up. So let me know same question as before. Let me know what you want to do there Such a cool rig though super creepy Love all this here Just in terms of that the creature the danger of that and then this but this is much scarier than this And that's why I said maybe you want to lean over to give that an extra You know, maybe the head is then this big Maybe some drool coming down But that's it cool.

Hi everyone, Basel Trap and those of the Tiger technicians are coming up straight after this TFN noon update, the dial is down 30 at 26,422, it's going to have some tough resistance in the 26,590 to 26,590, 26,640 area over the coming two, three days, we're looking at support in the 26,350 has been kind of key on the very short term to hold. The S&P at this particular point is down 5.54 at 2901. It's having a deeper decline, it's minus 0.20 percent, S&P at the dial is down 0.12. So this is a bigger move down. It must hold 2892 on the very short term, otherwise it could go a bit lower and it's also having some difficulty in the 2,919 area. The QQQ made an all-time high, today gain at 187.93. It is up 51 cents right now at 187.01, really good technicals but a little toppy, we'll see how it handles any support in the 184 area over the coming two, three sessions going into next week that is and the IWM has been lagging and today it is also lagging. It's down 155 and 154, big move down 155.99, it better hold 154, otherwise it's getting quite a bit lower. Gold is trying to establish some kind of a bottom here, it's down just a fraction but what's really interesting based on the interest rates, the dollar hasn't really climbed very much. The dollar right now is down 6 ticks at 96.98, but holding very well concerning what's been going on, it needs to get into the 97.40, 97.60 area by Tuesday of next week. So that is the update, we're looking at Trudeau which has had a bit of a pullback, what is it doing right now? Oh, it's up 8 cents but it's holding in a rectangle formation, 62 is key support over the next two, three days, 60, I would say 65, 20 will be, we are going to expect some resistance to come in and we're just about to wrap this up and don't forget I do the Tiger Technicians Hour coming up straight off to this, just wait a couple of minutes and you'll get it otherwise. I'll see you tomorrow, the last trading day of the week. Have a good day.


So just a quick update on the LCD situation. So look what I got.

See ya


Thank you very much. I'd also like to extend my thanks to Chris and the State Department as well as the Secure World Foundation for the invitation to present to you this morning. Like to present the perspective from a new United Nations activity under the context of the Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space, promoting I guess a backdrop to previous works on looking at the long-term sustainability of outer space, but now recognizing the international importance of space weather in its own right. And currently I serve as the chairman of that expert group and also the rapporteur to the Copious Technical Committee. So we've heard a lot already this morning about space weather and its impacts. I'll return to this comment later in my presentation, but I think it's true to say that space weather has really undergone kind of a significant development in the technological understanding of impacts as well as the underlying science. And I think now is the right time to exploit that new knowledge to ensure that we are appropriately prepared and that we can protect critical infrastructure as we move forward. So this has been mentioned a few times already, I guess probably the standard reference point of an extreme space weather event goes back to the 1859 Carrington event and the observations of large flares on the sun and then subsequent impacts on the earth. So the 1859 was a very different technological society than the one in which we live in now, but nonetheless there are reliable accounts from that time of power lines, telecommunication lines setting on fire as a result of induced currents and strong, strong activity which of course we'd like to understand the impacts if such an event were to happen in modern society. So I think this view graph is intended to show two things. First of all, just to explain what you're seeing here, this is from the so-called Halloween Storm in 2003 and it's showing a series of measured geomagnetically induced currents from a model network across the European sector and you can see the size of those circles is representative of the strength of the GICs. And what you see I guess across the Scandinavian sector and Sweden in particular are very large circles that develop in response to that particular storm. In fact this period is characteristic of the Malmo power failure that Sweden then suffered during this interval and I guess by comparison to 1859 this was a strong storm but certainly not of the same size as would be experienced if an 1859 storm were to arrive. But the message you should take from this is of course that these networks are interconnected, very strongly interconnected. Across all levels of society this is just really showing you the electric power grid. So I think it's very important for us to understand the international context of this. It's not a single country or even a single region that faces a space weather threat really is a global aspect that we need to understand together. So I guess returning to this concept about risk. The number of people are undertaking and I've undertaken space weather risk studies, the largest of which in the US in 2008 came up with a number of one to two trillion dollars as the potential economic consequence of a Carrington-like event. I think more recent studies suggest that number might be large but it's certainly a very, very significant potential impact. I think the other important thing to note is that the likelihood of these events is also now understood to be much more highly likely than would be previously the case and so again we need to take this very, very seriously. So as I was mentioning the impacts of a severe event could be very large but I think the other message that I want to kind of present to you is that even moderate space weather events have an impact. Those impacts need to be understood and we need to be able to mitigate them. So it's not just the case that we should be waiting for the skies falling kind of an event and wondering how frequently that might occur a hundred years or a thousand years. There are more regular standard run of the mill you might say space weather activities which also have impacts which we need to understand. And it's obvious now that the way forward is to understand the science better as well as to understand the applied science better so that we can understand the impacts, model the impacts and then take appropriate action to mitigate those effects. Now just as an aside here I enjoyed a nice time on the National Mall yesterday in advance of this meeting and I found myself in the Jefferson Monument and I read this quote. I don't think Jefferson had the idea of space weather in mind when he wrote this but it's actually an interesting comment. I won't read the quote to you but the gist is that as we develop our understanding then we need to respond appropriately with appropriate institutions and to take appropriate action and so I would say that right now we're at the situation where space weather is in that category. We should take account of our new knowledge and we should take action appropriately collectively with our international colleagues. So let me talk more specifically then about the expert group. It was formed in 2015 and basically we have a defined mandate, a focus and we're seeking to really develop definitive outcomes as a result of this discussion. And I want to comment really that the focus is to raise awareness amongst the member states of copious at the national level to try to promote better understanding of space weather and better understanding of what actions could be taken in individual member states to try to mitigate that risk in a coordinated way, in a way that efficiently uses the resources in individual countries and which takes advantage of expertise that exists in those different administrations. So there's some significant heritage to this. I mentioned the activity is still ongoing within the UN right now on long-term sustainability of outer space, but the space weather piece was completed in 2015 and there are published guidelines reflecting actions which could be taken to mitigate some of the space weather effects. The member states recognize the value of this activity moving forward and then endorsed through the permanent space weather agenda item, the activity under this expert group. And I think particularly with a view to this afternoon's discussions, this is a new expert group and we do have an opportunity to define how it should move forward and the best way to constitute its actions. And I very much welcome the opportunity to interact with many of you in that discourse. So we've started our work. We had a very successful meeting in February, combined a three-day workshop with an expert group meeting. We've identified some opportunities in relation, in particular to geomagnetically induced currents and referenced some other international activities which have recently been completed, in particular the Coast Bar ILWS roadmap. And I want to say a few words about that activity just because nobody has discussed it yet too much this morning and I think it's very important. But we're already identifying user needs and I think the GIC aspect, the electrical power grid aspect is really an area where there is a strong opportunity for this expert group to make some significant impacts moving forward. So just to say a few words, the slide just doesn't project very well, but this was about a two or three-year activity that involved, in fact, a number of colleagues in this room as well as from around the world to produce a scientific strategy for improving space weather capacity moving forward in the next decade. A question was raised from the audience earlier about advanced warning and how much notice we might get from a severe space weather storm. So one of the things that this roadmap team took into account was to address what science and what measurements would we need to provide greater than one to two hour advanced notice of a severe space weather event so that we'd know about it before it got to L1 and then maybe we would have more time to be able to take appropriate action and that was the task that's been specified. The outcome is published in Advances in Space Research. I won't go through the details, but you can look it up for yourself. There's a number of recommendations here, which I won't go through one by one, but the overarching theme in a number of these elements is the importance of international coordination on measurements, on understanding the impacts on systems, on then taking steps towards increased preparedness. And this really is something that I would strongly recommend to you. I think it's something we can take advantage of and we should use as we move forward in our activities. There was also a recommendation in relation to new infrastructure, as well as continuing infrastructure. And the roadmap team took some steps to look at not only the electrical power grid problem, but also some aspects in relation to space radiation and in relation to impacts on aviation and the ionosphere that have already been mentioned. So I guess let's just take a step back and focus on what the expert group is focusing on right now. So GICs is our primary focus immediately, trying to identify the importance of research, as well as the importance of continuing observational and modeling capabilities. We really had a very strong and active GIC workshop in February. And I think the message that came through loud and clear was the regional impacts of GICs. They're not the same in different geographic regions, and different countries can be influenced in different ways. And probably the most important message is I think that in order to reflect that, individual nations should be undertaking a socioeconomic impact survey. We heard from Mark earlier about the UK's efforts in this regard. And I think this is very, very important for the international endeavor as we move forward. Each country needs to understand how they will be affected and how they should then take appropriate action within the context of the overall international endeavor. The bottom bullet here was mentioned right at the very introduction to this meeting, and it's worth repeating, I think, that certainly even countries that have an apparently low domestic space weather risk are part of this interconnected global technological infrastructure. And therefore, even though their direct impacts from space matter might be modest, their indirect impacts could be equally strong, and they will be affected by them as a result of that indirect connectedness. So I'm just drawing to the conclusion of my slides here. There are growing national and international activities in space weather. I think that there's a role within the United Nations to promote space weather that's complementary, for example, to the activities within WMO that Jerome described and other organizations. But it's important to put them in the right context. And I think that the United Nations could be a strong platform for making significant advances, especially in the buildup to Unispace Plus 50 in 2018, which will define the priorities for the United Nations going forward for the next 30 years or so. So I think we need to be thinking about the next steps. We need international coordination. We should think how that can be achieved. One possibility might be through an action team type approach. There's a good example of Action Team 14 from looking at near-earth objects, a warning network activity, or through IADC in relation to space debris. They've been very successful activities within the UN. Maybe now is the time to focus on space weather for a similar type of activity. And ultimately, our goal, of course, is critical infrastructure protection, not just in individual nations, but across the whole globe. So thank you very much for your attention. Thank you.


My name is Brian Opeo. I'll be taking you through print media. What's next for print media? By show of hands How many bought newspapers today? How many bought newspapers today in the morning? I'd like to show you a short clip on how millennials Think of a newspaper. Moukou are you a millennial? You are not People just have way too much time on their hands, basically. Is there anything with puppies? It's like Craigslist but written down. These aren't great drumsticks, but I can use them. We're the misconnection I'm in an EDM cover band. We mostly do Skrillex stuff with a little Diplo thrown in just to mix it up You know. Are you sure there's no puppy section? Are you sure that the news always has a puppy section?  Really hard without a drum machine, but yeah, it's super brilliant. Oh cartoons Oh, yeah, yeah, totally brilliant, but like still boring at the same time Yeah That was how millennials think about a newspaper Well with the smartphone adoption increasingly gaining momentum and the internet penetration in Kenya over the years coming of age and Already becoming an all-to-essential part of the modern-day muscle or hierarchy of needs Most of us have been forced to invert inadvertently stopping Purchasing newspapers and some monthly magazines of sudden gone digital as you can see This year presents the muscle or hierarchy of needs that was before the advancement of the internet now Wi-Fi seems to be the basic need for any any millennial out there and with this and With this it has it has brought about the rise of the internet and decline of print media Online content has become the source of news for many readers, especially younger ones like the millennials and In years past consumers will have their morning papers delivered to their home or stopped by the newsstand on their way to work, but today Many people get their fix of news staring at a tablet or smartphone in fact, it's rare these days to see a commuter reading a print newspaper or a Commuter reading a new print newspaper in a month or two or stage Considered the statistics readers of digital news like to get their content for free as Compared to Maoko who has just purchased a newspaper But how much is it retailing now? 6th 7th That's my fear for going home each month Eight in ten Americans read newspapers from Digital media Millennials are 39 percent more likely to read newspapers on a mobile device than other age groups half off of those who consume content in a digital form during a month do so on mobile devices only that Only that is not using desktop laptop computers A majority of Kenyans young adults 62 percent get news on social media and 18 percent do so often these are some of the closest publications in Kenya from Adam and The economy review a long time ago newspapers used to get their revenues through advertisement and Circulation revenue while the digital currently people the news the digital print media get their income through advertisements subscriptions and endorsements What these trends points to is that digital is the future? for most newspapers and that these digital models will need to be Supported with free content a significant change from their print subscription model Publishing executives know that but many are still struggling to pivot to that all essential digital future So how newspapers can adapt in the course of covering local news and events? Reporters and editors need to gain valuable consumer information about their readers Many newspapers publishers are failed to exploit that information which will be used to segment their readership to help target advertising Now they are once virtual monopoly of content advertising delivery to household has been lost in Contrast digital content providers have been able to acquire consumer preference through content delivery and Related consumer response methods and I live in them to provide Advertisers with alternative revenues Alternative venues that are forcing the price of advertising lower Resulting and reduce revenue for newspapers to be successful Newspapers will need to provide content that consumers will be willing to pay for as well as the related consumer information At a higher rate to those advertisers that their subscriber base desirable So is there a future in print? Is there a future in print? There is Tell us why the egg you know seeing print Disappearing but we still have print so probably if we travel around the world and we look at Information centers the world and You find that yes, we have got that shift Where most of the print have been? Turn to digital But the question should be why are they still keeping? Print in also in those developed countries print media if we look at the objective What does what is the objective of? that print media is to reach out to people and probably it's The some of the libraries it's talking about maybe they are going to turn Into museums in future the same as some of the churches in Those other countries is mentioning have turned into museums They just there for people to go and see we once had these things with us and If the objective is to reach me Then I think print media is at risk. It's likely to get extinct in a way in Kenya here We are still not that advanced. I mean just in the above in the urban areas and The costs are still very high. I mean Wi-Fi is not like everywhere and We still have people like was it like me of the 70s 60s who say no no no but I don't want to get a gazettee. I mean Even Back and open a gazettee come on a notice Bouddha Sipa Nini until I see the press. I believe it is true. So Print media I think we'll be here to stay because most people Like if there's an input like there's important notice on NTSA or government regulation You know to read it properly photocopies Show it to your stuff For the print media it's Difficult, so I think these papers We'll be around for some time unless until reach the stage of US But do you foresee? I hear or some 20 years down the line that print will be extinct Yeah, hopefully as we advance in IT Maybe the next 10 15 years Then maybe I think we'll see So there is a future for print to die. Yeah short term. Yes I'm an instructor and I Actually teach on a digital platform Do you know about Cisco? Yes, I teach computer networking at KU and It's a digital platform. It's what it's a digital platform But because I was initially trained to instruct or to teach Okay, there are instances. They are topics that I have to produce Hard copy documents, okay, and then the other thing I want to tell you also My students when they finish studying they get certificates. We don't give them digital certificates We print hard copy certificates, which we stamped and then we give them Okay, our curriculum is online The certificates are I Request them from Cisco in California. They are sent We print all the certificates and all the recommendation letters and we give to the students But I use I use PowerPoint for teaching, okay I still have my blackboard and whiteboard there for print media writing on that I'll conquer with him that It's not quite easy to read through the digital platform for a very long time Even if maybe you've been sent some notes, you'll need to print them for that as you read Maybe highlight the key points, but the main reason why I wanted this time to talk I want to come to the the defense of my sister when she said that in the near future There might not be trees. He didn't literally mean that there'll be no trees He's defending the use of printing all the time But I think that is a campaign which is going on even when you get some Cards or when you get an email you are requested not to print it That let us conserve nature. So my dear brother It is not a sign of ignorance. The lady is just promoting and telling us to take care of nature. Thank you When I was training up in Turkana Civilization and all this techie thing we're doing here. It's not yet up to them Like when I went up to Turkana North they were shocked seeing me. We have the same skin skin color We have the same hair, but seeing somebody dressed the way I was dressed like in real clothing They were still shocked. So yes, we might go into having digital certificates But we we will still need to have the printed certificate cause not everybody is at par Where you are at the moment and that I need each one of us here to Acknowledge that because not everybody knows what we know Then on the question on is there a future in print not even print media Yes, there is future in print because without the old way ways we used to do things Digital the digital era wouldn't have evolved. It wouldn't have been Innovated so it is up to us to ensure that we secure print But maybe what you can do we can just tweak print To suit our needs and the current market Generation that we are in so if we leave it up to Some other people to do all this then the future of print will disappear but from my own perspective and Having gone to the deeper parts in Kenya to Kana, Samburu, Moyale Print still exists for them. The I don't know Facebook Instagram does not exist for them They do not know what that is.  We have exposure. We have Access to everything for them.  It's up to us For me what I can say my opinion itself because this debate will go on and on and on I'm torn between two print Will be there But what print will do? They will work on currently with with digital print because if you look at at the schools right now with the laptop with the laptop and laptop distribution going on and Books books being published online We are in like e-kitaboo. There is a platform called e-kitaboo where a student can just Purchase one chapter of a let's say primary mathematics book Just buy a chapter instead of buying the whole book and Also, if you look at what she says people in Turkana don't have access to internet So where will this all had copies that we have right now go to? It will have to go back to the people who aren't connected yet to the internet for them to use at that time as we progress in Getting the infrastructure there So for me both they will they will run concurrently each will support the other that's for me and This is just a food for thought for you for people out there with their Bitcoin and Cryptocurrency right now Do you see a future where we will be printing money and also with MPSA where you can send You can send money just directly without Not necessarily cashing out three thousand shillings This is just a food for thought for people for for you guys Okay, I'll also talk about my company for a little while My name is Brian Opeo. I also run take will solutions We are digital marketing agency in Mombasa and also in Nairobi What we do is we develop websites for companies that do not have a digital footprint also and We also print t-shirts like the ones you see and There was another and I wore yesterday Coordination of second society if you saw it.

Hey guys, it's Tilly and today I'm here with the Toadloo Should've Book Tag. It wasn't tagged by anyone in particular, but I've watched a few of these videos and I really wanted to do it, so hey, I'm doing it. So it's a series of 11 questions and I will get started. So the first question is, Toadloo Should've gotten a sequel. And I might have to go with Where by Meg Caddy, mostly because I am amazed at how much I grew to love the characters in this book just within these pages and then to have them finish at the end of this book. And all I really want is to know more about the characters and this world and enjoy the writing. And so yeah, I would really, really want a sequel for this because I just would be so interested in what happened afterwards. Question number two, we have Toadloo Should've had a spin-off series. And for me, I just have to think of my favourite character who isn't the main character in the book and it's easy. Like, I would like to have a spin-off series featuring Isabel doing everything that she does great. She kind of is a main character. I feel like Isabel's gonna have a spin-off series soon. Like, so far Cassandra Clare has just written all these short stories and other books about other characters. But I think that Izzy deserves to have her own very soon. Please, Cassandra, please. Number three, an author who totally should write more books. Easy, easy. It is Marcus Zuzak, who is my all-time favourite author. He has three books out and he's been writing his forefront for a very long time. It feels like it has been way, way too long since he announced that he was writing something. And it is slowly, very slowly killing me because I just need my dose of Zuzak. His writing is absolutely phenomenal and a lot of people only know him for the book thief. But I definitely recommend to you guys to read Iron The Messenger as well as the contemporary book. And it is, like, amazing. I loved it. It is very different from this. But yeah, it is still fantastic. Like, it's amazing Marcus Zuzak writing. So yeah, write more books, Marcus, write them. Number four, a character who totally should have ended up with someone else. This will contain spoilers for Empire of Storms by Sarah J. Marse. If you guys don't want to hear them, block your ears now or mute me. And I will give you a thumbs up once I am done with the spoilers. So countdown, three, two, one. Menon and Alid. They should be together, not with the terrible guys that they have been paired with. And although I guess Dorian isn't terrible, I just don't think that Dorian and Menon are good together. Neither is Lorkin and Alid. Like, Lorkin is a terrible human, fey guy. But I definitely ship Menon and Alid.  And number five, totally should have ended differently. I'm kind of hoping that if I just keep using different editions of this book, you guys won't notice that I'm using it more than once in this video. I don't want to say spoilers about this. I know it has been a book that's been out for like over 10 years. And it's a movie too. But this should have ended differently. Certain characters should not have died. Let's just put it that way because it was horrible and unfair. And I could cry if I really thought about this. Number six, totally should have had a movie franchise. And my first thought is to do Percy Jackson and just let it be redone with a good movie. But if I had to pick one that hasn't had it at all, I would go with. I can't pick between two books. I'm going to have to say The Scorpio Races by Maggie Stavoda and Aristotle Undone to discover the secrets of the universe by Benjamin L.E.S.A.N.'s. Because these are both amazing. I would be a little worried that the movie would be terrible and I wouldn't do it justice. But at the same time, it'd be so amazing to see something that you love go up onto that big screen and be known like, waggly. So yes, these two. Number seven, totally should have had a TV show. The Lina Chronicles by Marissa Meyer. This I can say being an actual amazing TV show with the characters and all the details and everything. And please petition for it. Let's make Cinder a TV show with amazing diverse cast and stick to the book word for word and it will be fantastic. Please, somebody produce this. Number eight, totally should have had only one point of view. I found this one super hard because most of the books that have dual perspective is like needed for it. So I'm going to have to say we all looked up by Tommy Wallach because I found some of the characters in this to be super boring compared to others. And I didn't really care for their point of view as much as some. And so yeah, let's go with that one. Number nine, totally should have a cover change.  The Vampire Academy books by Rachelle Meade because their covers are just like, I look at them and they're so weird. I just find the covers to be kind of outdated. And some of the later ones in this series are kind of really awkward to like have on the cover like spirit bound here. It's like he's going for the kiss and she's just trying to dodge it casually. And I don't know. I think that they could do much nicer covers. Number 10, totally should have kept the original covers. And the first one that comes to mind is the new bone season look that they're going for. But I don't own that. So I'm going to pick one that is a different cover. I don't even know which one of these is the original edition. But having so many editions is really confusing for people like me who had ordered these online and did not know that they were all different editions. And that is the chaos walking trilogy, which I do have in all of these formats. Isn't it great? They look amazing on my shelf. They ask you how you are. You just have to say that you're fine when you're not really fine. I don't even like really hate any of those covers. I kind of just wish that they all matched. And for the last question, we have question 11. Totally should have stopped at book one. I'm going to have to go with the Selection by Kyra Kass. They should have firstly stopped at book one and then they should have stopped at book three. And yet they still continued until book five. I don't know why. They're not horrible books. I just think that there's a lot of plot holes in them. And the storyline is kind of not the greatest. But at the same time, I can definitely see you people like it. They are quick binge worthy reads. Yeah. Thank you guys for watching. I will leave people that I tag in the information section down below. It also has all my social media links down there too. So feel free to check out any of those. And thank you guys for watching. And hopefully I'll see you guys again soon. And until then have a lovely bookish day. And I hope that great things happen to you. I am so ashamed that I have not yet finished the series. And that is The Raven Cycle by Maggie Stabotta. I have all the books. I have even The Raven King.
