Trini girl natural hi everyone welcome to my channel. This is a curl origin first impression I was thinking about what to start with I decided to go with the curl origin because it mentioned Having protein I'd mention and say moisture my hair could probably have done with both. So here we are This is a sister line because she sent it and it really reminds me of she said that it's just a little bit richer So a little bit more like emollients like maybe butters and stuff But not too much because I can't take too much That's why I even use like she said that I'm blue rose and like really light products is like The slightest amount of too much butters and stuff and adjusts on my hair This line is supposed to be for highly textured hair if you thought she said it was too light for you I would definitely recommend giving killer rich in a try But it doesn't say type 4 anything that mentions curly or quietly and I really think it's also still pretty light So she said it is very light and this one is light But a little bit creamier. So If you're concerned my hair nobody I should have any problems to tell the truth because I think I have the lowest porosity here in the world At least of anybody I know so it's definitely not heavy So no matter how fine your hair is or like wavy or whatever you shouldn't have any problems with this line I think she said that mentions kind of all hair types. I even relaxed straight wavy and so on. So maybe this is just for Curlies, I'm not really sure what the distinction is But I know that even though it says high texture like you can see that it's still mentioned Curly and so on I tried half of what I got so I got four items and I tried two Selling off on freshly co-washed hair selling with the deep conditioner Smells really good and it's rich and creamy as you can see So I just apply it all over you guys kind of know the drill so I fast forward through it because I have a lot of hair But I apply it all over and just wicking in My hair just felt so soft like so Silky, I don't know. It felt really really good and it was super moisturized. The slip is there as you can see It was just pretty much a happy wash day Once I'm finished working in the deep conditioner. I just let it sit for half an hour And then I rinse it out Then I apply the leave-in and the styler. So this is my hair This is just with the deep conditioner rinse the section and I'm going to apply the leave-in conditioner Which I also loved I think it's great for winter because it's just super moisturizing and it's rich and creamy and smells great Again work it in I rake I squish squeeze etc until it's all worked in So you can see the definition and it's moisturized and I was just so happy with the performance of this product as you can see After that I applied my styler and that's it So the first item that I tried was this maracuja deep recovery conditioner. Let me show you the ingredients This contains quite a bit of protein, but it's still very moisturizing. So If you want to get your protein and moisture in one shot Definitely recommend this deep conditioner and this line in general I do have products with protein, but I haven't really been keeping track of them That's why I just try to do my protein treatments or love and slacken off on that too But having something with like strengthen them growing a name kind of makes it easy to remember Oh, yeah, that one is the protein because usually I forget which ones are protein pj problems I mean, I'd have to like reach through each and every one to figure out which ones have protein or You know Or not no, basically this kind of solves that problem for me. So I'm really happy about that I know she sounds really like amazing and sane for penetration This kind of region is amazing and sane for penetration and it gives you a little bit more of that Butters and emollients. This is about to be a new staple for me. So I did buy a bit I bought a bit Okay, I bought like two of everything except the protein treatment. I bought two deep conditioners Two of this deep conditioner two of the other two conditioner and two leave-in So it'll definitely be representing in my stash for 2018 The sense are also pretty similar to she sent it like a light fruity candy or smell. So I really like the sense as well And this is the texture of the deep conditioner. It is pretty thick. I think the she said which moisture would run out So no running. I think that's one of the first things I noticed and even the texture in here. It is pretty thick I mean, it's light. It's definitely light, but it still is kind of thick I can feel how creamy it is, but it still penetrates really well, which of course is a must for me But then going in it ain't going in and this gives me instant moisture and softness So I worked out a disclaimer that I didn't shampoo this time I have to do better in my shampooing So I don't I make sure that I look them or just not shampoo as often Because I've been reviewing a lot of deep conditioners I like to shampoo before I deep condition with a new one to really test it But I can't have all that amount of shampoo in my life. So I'm scaling back So I will definitely try this after shampooing Unless you guys know to look out for that But hydrating super hydrating great slip great definition great moisture I could feel it being nice and buttery my hair felt kind of like silky velvety Like my hair never felt that nice before So I don't know like usually it feels soft, but I kind of lose all texture Like it just maybe I'm feeling deep conditioner, but this one I could actually feel my hair and my hair felt nice It was wet. It was good. So I definitely love this. This is definitely a winner Definitely a new staple definitely repurchasing it but does have like I mentioned three proteins although they are the very bottom Hydrolyzed wheat protein, hydrolyzed kilo protein and hydrolyzed keratin So if you're protein sensitive, I definitely try lightly, but this didn't make my hair hard at all It has honey like raw honey high in the ingredients list and I definitely felt moisturizing to me This is the other product. I use this watch day from killer region the maracuja rich moisture hair milk So I use this a leave-in and I was a little bit concerned because usually they all say like definition definition poppy pop And the description didn't really mention that it mentioned moisturize and strengthen dry damaged hair So I was looking for the moisturize I was looking for the protein because I haven't done protein in a while But I was a little nervous because me and hair milks are kind of effing and I didn't even say definition So I was like, it's gonna frizz out my hair or not So I had nothing to worry about my hair was Really moisturized so I can hydrate it and I had good definition So I'm definitely recommending this and I'm definitely gonna add this to my winter staples So I'm putting in my winter staples because it doesn't have glycerin Of course, I can use it here around as well But I mean I'm going to be using it right now Because it's glycerin free so I can just hit the road running with this So these are the ingredients So as you can see, it's just all this stuff. It has my honey. That's my aloe vera It also has some hydrolyzed protein at the bottom So I probably wouldn't make this my only line just because the line is like strengthen and grow And they all contain protein So I'm not sure what using it every week would do but Since I don't use anything every week anyway, I'm fine And I don't use anything more than probably once a month or something So me putting this in probably once a month or something most likely Should be fine for my hair But just to caution if you are One of those great happy people who can live off just a few products Maybe you would want to rotate this line with something just because it's a strengthen and grow line And everything has protein in it So this is this is how it looks I forget like it comes out more than you would think I'm putting some of that back Kind of run but it's definitely not as runny as the typical she sent it So this is the consistency You can see it's kind of wide kind of creamy Um, let me try to put some of it on my hand so you can see how it goes in So you can see it like would seem really nicely And I don't know my skin just feels amazing and my hair just felt amazing It just felt loved after so I definitely enjoyed using this product That same nice light candy and fruitier scent It is probably just a little lighter than the she sent it sense or maybe it's the same I don't know it's been a minute I guess but I love the sense as well This is my hair after that wash day I used to be conditioner and then I used to leave in And this is in there So I do have a gel on top of it so it's not like this is just to leave in But it definitely moisturize my hair and the moisture is definitely sticking around so yay for that So I'm totally completely happy camper right now It was just the perfect Doings the perfect do it was like instant moisture instant hydration instant softness It spread really easily great slip and it did a good job of definition my hair Like both of them really pop my curls the deep conditioner really pop my curls and the leave and really pop my curls So I wasn't mad at all and I'm super happy Because I found a new line a new line to love a new year line a new yes line a new staple line We're going to be seeing this some more Let me see where can I I can't even think of anything bad to say about this I really can't even think of anything bad to say about it The only the only bad thing I could say about this Is that I didn't get a free sample I didn't get any free samples with my black friday home. So usually at least Which she said to I usually got like a free something. I guess she likes me But yeah, I didn't get anything anything free That's the only bad thing I could say about this is I didn't get anything free in the package Like not a free product not even a free sample But I didn't get anything free from any of the brands I tried this year So I think maybe they're just being very competitive in the sale numbers because the sales were really good this year Like 40 50 percent. Maybe that's why we're not getting as many samples So took me a couple minutes to think of something and that's all I got for you No freebies, but the products are like really top quality. I can't wait to use them more and I definitely recommend them So that's it for my little mini dive into Kill Origin I hope you enjoyed this video. I hope it was helpful Let me know if you tried Kill Origin yet.  Let me know what you think And if you've tried it already, definitely let me know. I know at least a couple of my subbies mentioned that they tried Some of it and they loved it and they can't wait to try more that seems to be where everybody's at So this line has been out for over a year. I remember when it came out But I guess I had so many other things on my radar that I am only now getting to this Black Friday But I wish I had gotten to it sooner. It's not good I'm kind of like kicking myself now, but better late than never That's a watching look up for a lot more product reviews. I love more content subscribe for more Click notification that'll see you wouldn't miss anything. See you in the next one. Bye


Hello audio listeners. Oh, and hello video listeners. Hello video listeners viewers rather Listener viewers. All right, we're gonna give that a minute to catch up Before we start the actual show show show But very excited to have Peter Newell with us Peter. Maybe make sure I've got this right to managing partner at BMNT partners Hey, thanks for the invitation. Appreciate it. That's correct. Okay Here we go Money burning a hole in your pocket then your money's probably on fire seek medical attention If you want to support your favorite podcast, however, go to daily tech news show dot com slash support This is the daily tech news from monday december 14th 2015 i'm tom errod joining me today as she does most mondays Ms. Veronica belmont dts contributor and host of dear veronica on engadget. How are you doing veronica? I am fantastic. Happy monday to all of you out there. Happy monday to you as well We're very excited today to have as well. Peter Newell managing partner at BMNT partners. We're going to talk to him in our discussion segment About defense technology and silicon valley and how those two can work better together. Thank you for joining us as well. Mr. Newell Hey, thanks for the appreciate We're uh, we're going to get to that discussion in just a moment, but let's start off with our headlines Wall Street Journal says its sources claim samsung's galaxy s7 and s7 edge smartphones will have a pressure sensitive display Similar to the iphone 6s 3d touch and a new usb type c high speed charging port other reported features include a micro sd slot low light camera that's flush with the camera backs that is sticking out And uh, you can expect that announcement to come at mobile world congress february 22nd With according to the wall street journal a march release samsung not taking a lot of time between announcement and release That's exciting a lot of great features there Absolutely, and you know, uh, some of them are catch-up features With with the iphone, uh, but bringing back micro sd slots going to make a lot of people happy Definitely the robber online pointed out google updated its maps app for ios catching it up to the android version ios users can now save portions of maps offline allowing directions and search without a connection Although it won't do mass transit or walking directions ios users also get gas prices along your route and indications of when destinations are the busiest So i'll catch up in the other direction Google maps given ios users. Uh, the gas prices thing is is of great concern to myself and my dog. Uh, both very into Gassy your your docs are very As we shared and wanted us to note that new york attorney general eric schneiderman Once your help gathering data as part of a probe into verizon cable vision and time mourners advertised speeds That's exciting The new york attorney general has created the website internet health test.org To measure speed users are then after they've submitted the test asked to send screenshots Of the test results plus fill out an online form. Not sure why it couldn't all just be collected automatically but the idea is to Essentially look into these interconnection agreements to see how they're affecting speed So not just the speeds delivered directly from the company And also see that if you're paying for 50 megabits per second, you get at least close to 50 megabits per second Yeah, I think that's that's I don't know why i'm so excited by this idea I feel like it's somehow the Government and the people working together to take down the the cable industries and the cell industries Which are not my favorite industries a little bit. Maybe that's maybe that's really what where this is coming from I would not be surprised But you know like speed test.org has always done just the idea of people having more awareness of what they're actually getting There are very good reasons why you won't always get the advertised speeds And I think in the defense of the isps that needs to be taken into account, but Well, you can say in defense of them, but also, you know, they have to Modify their advertising accordingly if they can't they can't promise certain speeds and then have a tiny asterisk saying well It's not always going to be that good. Actually, it's really never going to be that good It's never it's never nothing's ever going to be constantly at top rated speed though I mean, that's a lot of people aren't regularly getting even close to the and that's that's where the data collection becomes important The us faa launched its drone registration program today Interesting stuff starting December 21st owners of drones weighing more than 250 grams and less than 25 kilograms Will need to register their machines Registration will be free for 30 days and cost five dollars afterwards. Not too bad Pilots must be at least 13 years of age and carry a copy of their registration during drone operation A registration number must be clearly marked on all drones owned by that pilot current drone owners have until february 19th To 2016 to register and people who buy a drone after December 21st will need to register before they can fly them This is actually pretty pretty reasonable Register once put the number on all the drones you own. Oh, yeah It helps people understand what the rules are I think the only thing that's going to give people pauses having to pay five dollars Which is if i've got this right the same amount that any pilot pays no matter what size the aircraft And the faa says that they are required by law to collect that fee anytime They do some kind of registration like this to me. This is shockingly easy And seems to be a really good compromise. I think for for both parties and I don't I mean I'm sure there will be complaints from drone owners about it But I don't really know if they're if they're very founded at this point I look forward to daring kitchen's new sub 250 gram drone racing that he is going to start doing Not even kidding Uh efc 88 on our subreddit noted the torrent freak article about a product called web torrent It's a web based method of handling torrents using web rtc The project launched by stanford grad ferris abu kadija could significantly cut down on video delivery problems In fact netflix has contacted ferros and mentioned web torrent in one of their job postings Web torrents still need some improvements though not all browsers support web rtc and web torrent because it's using rtc Can't talk to some traditional torrent clients yet, but they're working on that as well The idea that netflix would actually get better at peak times when more people are using it Could be the case if netflix or or companies like that adopted this Hmm. Oh, uh to to beer off topic again Ian in the chat room notes that ham radio operators pay more than five dollars for their license. So Pilots are getting off easy Following on last week's story about airlines banning so-called hoverboards amazon will now require all sellers of the roley boards to submit proof of battery And charge your safety standards Airlines have blanket banned the devices because models often do not meet the standards and batteries are often Mislabeled and i don't know if you've been talking about this at all, but they've been exploding Well, there have been a couple of incidents. They're not exploding all over the country Exploding constantly you're not doing journalism, right? They are exploding all over the place There there has been a problem with that and a lot of times it's because the battery is labeled it being a particular power Level and it's not it's actually work. It's actually a higher power than that. So Hence the airline saying no, we're not going to allow these things on and amazon stepping in and saying You know what? We would like to make sure that you are really selling what you say you are and that it's up to safety standards See what I have to say about hoverboards in our prediction show The times of india reports apple has cut the price of the iphone 5s in india from 44 000 rupees to 24 999 rupees call it 25 000 rupees That's about 370 bucks u.s List price for an unlocked iphone 5s in the u.s is 450 dollars So india now one of the cheapest places to get an iphone 5s the 5s accounts for more than 50 percent Of iphone sales in india already So apple trying to goose that number also trying to help their q4 numbers look good This puts the 5s in competition with the samsung a and e series in india Motherboard notes a post from coltac that twitter has notified some users that it believes their accounts have been targets of a state sponsored attack Twitter says it has no evidence that any account information was obtained But attackers were after email ip addresses and phone numbers Google and facebook have policies to notify about such attempts, but this is the first known alert from twitter Yeah, a couple of tor people who work on the tor projects got these Most of the people who got them were involved in security research in some way, although not every One that motherboard was able to contact. So Interesting interesting to wonder What country would be what state actor would be behind this but twitter didn't say any that did mother so many so many options Yeah, so many possibilities. There's about four that I could think of right up there Samsung has officially asked the us supreme court to hear an appeal of its patent dispute with apple That's the one that a jury ruled on in 2012. That's still going on. So Now we're gonna get the supreme court weigh in probably about the jury amount Not so much about whether the patent Was violated or not Stay tuned And finally the wall street journal says that quote a person familiar with the matter Tells it that the us department of homeland security is planning to look at social media posts as part of its process For approving visas to foreign visitors the department has experimented intermittently with reviewing social posts since earlier this year Yeah, they've been looking at facebook posts already a little bit Uh, so wall street journal says that they're going to make that just standard procedure at least try to If you if you find this surprising you shouldn't yeah, it's publicly available information Which I think you know in cases of visa approval you look at publicly available information Your bosses are looking the government is probably also looking Thanks to folks who submit stories on our subreddit dailytechnewshow.reddit.com helps us put this line up together every day As you heard lots of stuff came straight out of there We don't even always credit the same person because we don't want you to hear their name over and over and over again But we appreciate every single person who submits in the subreddit get in there and do some voting If you'd nothing else dailytechnewshow.reddit.com and that is a look at the headlines All right. Thank you for your patience. Mr. Newell. Peter Newell is managing partner of BMNT partners as I said He served for 32 years tours in Panama, Kosovo, Iraq and at one point was put in charge of a unit called the rapid equipping force charged with getting new tech into the field quickly You've also recently started involvement in something called hacking for defense. Can you tell us a little bit about that? Sort of hacking for defense is really a manifestation of the work that we were doing at the rapid equipping force primarily focused on solving challenging problems in Afghanistan and Iraq between 2010 and 2013 and essentially with hacking for defense For the longest time we were frustrated by not reaching a broader audience of potential problem solvers and from my experience journeying into places like MIT and Silicon Valley You always found that my discussions with you know young students and startups and other folks were absolutely fascinating But neither side knew how to find a pathway by which you know, we could come together to actually So about a year ago, we were asked to demonstrate the fact that it was possible to get folks in Silicon Valley interested in actually working with The government in the primarily department of defense to solve problems We went on a very quick prototype with them and then As part of the out brief one of our recommendations was to return that prototype into a for-credit graduate level class at Stanford And actually trying to hit the ball quite a bit harder. So hacking for defense today is now a partnership between Steve blank and his lean loss pad movement BMT my company and our our problem curation efforts in stanford university and What I suspect will be dozens of universities over the next year or so So it seems to me that the the government has kind of really come full circle with Silicon Valley. I was reading a bunch of Steve blank's blog post on the subject and he kind of points out that Silicon Valley first really got it started as a hotbed of Electronic intelligence information for the government and it wasn't really until much later When private money started really pouring in so do you see a relation between that and what's happening now with the government Looking to private companies to help it innovate much more quickly than they can really accomplish internally You know, I absolutely do and I'll tell you first that working with with Steve blank is I liken it to grabbing a commons tail and trying to keep up with He You know, he's he's got such a deep history of understanding of of defense applications in And how it actually transpired in Silicon Valley. So he's written a great piece on the history of defense innovation of valley in In quite honestly decision resurgence It's always been there in some way shape or form The real challenge is that You know, no longer is it government funding Incubating Change with within, you know technology now that the technology companies have vastly more resources Then the government does and the fact that technology is changing so fast That the the government systems can no longer Identify a problem articulate that problem source a solution and apply a solution Before the underlying technology or the underlying problem have changed so much that that none of it is is valid anymore So, you know, most folks, you know, they like to talk about dollars and cents and how you know, there'll be a investment in Silicon Valley Those of us who've been at this for a while will tell you that the real change will be the cooperation of Wayne principles in And the impact of increasing the speed at which the government can actually Perform these muriated tasks in order to keep up with the change in technology So it's really all about the the speed and the ability to iterate very quickly on ideas That's that's attractive to the defense department and other organizations within the government and military Did we lose them? No, I think we did uh, that's too bad, uh, because I I think we were Starting on right into the thing that most people find surprising which is the idea that the department of defense might Not might be able to speed things up. Uh, and here's somebody who's been inside of that Knows how those wheels turn has has worked inside as part of that rapid equipment deployment force to try to speed things up and then Is now on the outside as a in a private company understanding both sides of this saying hey guys You need to work together here. Uh, there was there was an interesting parallel that you were reading about from blank On on how the military does things that is sort of similar to the startup mentality Yeah, there's a military strategist named john boyd. Um, and he's very well known He was up. He was a pilot uh in the air force I believe and he developed a strategy called udda the udda loop observe orient decide and act and that kind of gave Units within the military and excuse me to anyone in the armed forces or military who's listening to me talking It's like okay. She's almost got that right, but she's not quite there It's not my area of expertise, but this is just what I've kind of learned in my research for this piece But it's giving them the freedom to kind of be much more agile in in In a military scenario and be able to do things based on the information and and You know equipment that they have at the time instead of really needing to be a top down kind of organization Where they're they're getting commands way high up with people who may not necessarily know exactly what's happening on the ground So they were able to adapt in real time and be able to figure out what to do in that situation So me that kind of made me feel like those those being able to have those quick in the field decisions Is very similar to kind of that agile startup methodology of being able to adapt very quickly to a changing market And being able to pivot in real time And I think that's that's a kind of interesting parallel that I was really excited to kind of talk about There's a another story on california sunday.com that you found which goes in a lot to how peter newill came about Doing this sort of work and it talks about the rapid equipping force and how His big thing when he took over that unit was that the unit was coming up with solutions and then bringing them to the field And he decided to reverse that process and say let's find out what they need first And then try to try to engineer solutions to that which it's I think it seems obvious in retrospect But again when you tell a unit like come up with solutions They feel like they need to come up with the solutions and he was doing user-based development there essentially Yeah, exactly It was like real-time like ab testing In a sense But I was also really curious about why he decided to go completely into the private sector instead of going into defense Contracting and kind of what the differences between those two different areas are because a lot of people who leave the active military Then do go on to defense contract work Because there's a lot of similarities there And so he would have had every opportunity to go make a lot of money probably working for a defense contractor But instead he chose a startup route and really you know did his own company Helping to connect the the military and the armed forces and the defense department With people who are working in startups who they just want to solve problems I mean, I think that was his real one of his real interesting watershed moments was going to Engineers at big companies like google and being like we have this problem. They didn't really It's not that they don't care They're just excited by the idea of a problem that they can just really dig into and solve very quickly It's not they don't they're not thinking about resources. They're thinking about what is the most You know the most convenient and quick solution to a very difficult problem because that's how technology companies work Especially when you're like google and you have infinite resources and infinite money and almost infinite brain power It's it's a fascinating thing to apply to these kinds of issues Another paragraph in that california sunday magazine article illustrates exactly what you're talking about It's when newell was still at the rapid equipment force He met with an engineer at google talking about a solution for off the grid outpost in afghanistan And trucking in fuel and newell asked the engineer how much it would cost To have google research the army's project to research the project and the engineer drew a giant circle on a whiteboard and said that's my budget Put a smaller circle inside said that's your budget. I'm not interested in your money I'm interested in your problem and newell said in this article That's when I learned about the fallacy of the pentakons model when it comes to silicon valley They they are looking for problems that they can solve and bring to market They don't need to be paid to do the research And it's yes There are beat masters mentioning in the chat like is this another manhattan project and you know There are parallels to those kinds of things. I mean, we've seen Kind of state sponsored projects and research like this with with the national science foundation Who by the way, I hadn't even thought of until since Watching public broadcasting like sesame street and square one by the national science National science foundation. It's like, oh my gosh. No, there's more to it than I ever knew So that's yeah, there's there's definitely There's feelings of that again I think in a lot of ways and hopefully they don't have the same ultimate end goal as the manhattan project But you know trying to keep the troops safe and and make things more efficient and potentially less expensive and and less dangerous I think is is good all around. It's an incredibly difficult problem when you have a bureaucracy that moves slowly and and yet When an army is in the field Again, most of these articles that we've got linked in the show notes talk about the fact that Armies are very good at adapting when they're doing their job when they're in a defense situation But during peacetime the wheels sort of tend to grind slowly bureaucratically and and so you need someone who understands that why that happens to be able to Talk to that side of the problem and say you guys need to move faster And you need to move faster so that you can take advantage of the rapid developments That folks in startups are doing because they're not going to wait around for you Yeah, um, so totally. I mean, this is one of the stories that I got Very sucked into. I mean tom knows I pitched this story a couple of months ago and I've just been Biting up at the bit to chomping at the bit to get to it and it's unfortunate that we lost Mr. Newell here today But hopefully we can either get him back on or or have him on the show another time to answer some of the questions I've cooked up for him. Yeah, and maybe we'll uh, I don't know. We'll talk about it Maybe we can we can do a phone interview with him. It sounds like it's it's, you know It's a more difficult situation for him to to make it into a place that has reliable internet as it is for so many of us Sometimes right at the live time But maybe we can do it We're just down on the peninsula just drive down for the day and get in person interview record it that way We'll see what we can what Jenny can cook up for me. We'll see what we can come up with but Thanks again to Peter Newell for joining us. We've been trying to get him back, but it apparently is it's just not working So we we very much Thank him for taking the time that we did have with him Wish we would have started maybe we should have started with him instead of the headlines We'd have been revolutionary But you can go to bmt partners.com if you want to know more about his company And you can of course go to our show notes for links to that california sunday article and and links to the inconvenient history of silicon valley Uh by steve blank and and more at daily tech new show dot com Our pick of the day comes from martin I don't know if you've heard veronica, but there's a world premiere of a little movie called star wars the force awakens Happening today and it comes out into a wide release on thursday That's the one with captain kirk, right?

Not the app. They don't sell out of apps Yeah, the awesome cardboard that looks like r2d2 is sold out. Uh, well, that's that's such as the way of things Send your picks to us folks feedback at daily tech news show dot com You can find my picks at daily tech news show dot com slash picks a couple of messages. I'm not going to read the entire Slack conversation I had with christian and it's actually still going on But I've got some excerpts in the show notes and essentially his feedback to friday show where we were talking about Shaw one and the transition to shah 2 and how shah 2 is much more secure But if we cut off shah 1 on january 1st, that's going to leave a lot of people unable to access websites At all in some cases christian says my background is in networking and security. I'm quite often of darin's opinions However, I personally think a dualistic approach Would still be a lot more favorable than significantly delaying shah 2 deployment Darin talks about a downgrade attack and he's right with that However, if we look at this from an individual view, let's say I do my online banking If an attacker did generate a shah 1 collision, I'm screwed full stop However, if the bank also offers shah 2 and I have a modern browser which only accepts shah 2 I'm still secure He's like look the bad actors are going to spend a lot of money on something that's widely available But if shah 2 is in most places that might discourage them And he suggests the combined shah 1 shah 2 approach with a clear end date that facebook is proposing as well as his cloud flare I have to say the opposite side of this is Yeah, but there was a clear end date for shah 1 and people Still are using devices that can't take advantage of shah 2. So if we do this next clear end date What's to say that we won't have the same problem when we get to that clear end date? But I'm I'm with christian as was made clear on friday, but you know, I think there's good arguments on both sides of this story Finally josh from yay. It's springtime during winter pennsylvania was listening to do our discussion on tokyo's drone squad In friday show. Did you see that veronica the no So they so the drone squad Is mostly going to be observing for drones and making sure they don't fly in restricted areas But they also have I think more as a publicity stunt a drone with a net that can catch other drones Josh says I think the best way to take out a drone would be a shotgun with bird shot It's designed to take out a small airborne target. It's also small enough not to be dangerous on freefall Maybe what we need are rubber bird shot something that can wipe out the props But not pierce the battery or the payload Interesting. Yeah, so, uh, I don't I don't know that that would go on over so well in japan Or in tokyo, especially as dense as it is rubber bird shot But rubber bird shot is pretty elegant, right takes out the propellers, but you know, you're not risking a fire What about a slingshot or slingshot? Are we just not using slingshots? So it takes a little more skill, but you know train up some some drone slingshotters. I like it. That's a good idea Thanks to everybody who sends us email at feedback at daily tech news show dot com We definitely appreciate it. Thanks again to peter newell for taking the time to talk with us as much as he could today Managing partner at bmnt partners and thanks to veronica belmont twitter.com slash veronica You can watch dear veronica at n gadget dot com slash dear dash veronica.

Yeah, I was like he doesn't hate us It wasn't us He didn't get I was like Day too much Did I know too much? I thought maybe there was like all of a sudden he was in a public area There was like a conversation behind him that shouldn't have been On the line. Oh, you went way beyond what I thought. Yeah, that was like next level I honestly my honest thought was oh, maybe the local system administrator killed hangouts Nobody ever uses it and noticed weird traffic and was like, what's that? Well, no, so he uh, I pitched him Veronica your idea of going down there and doing a taped interview because I think that would actually be great Uh, um, so we'll see what that happens. I've got the gear. So I'm happy to do it Yeah, we could just put that out as a special follow-up like yeah to people I think that'd be great doesn't have to be live and you don't have to worry about that. That'd be awesome Cool. Let's do that All right. All right. So I uh, I'll go I'm working with that. I'm gonna work on that I was like I was so excited at how well it was going and then I heard nothing and I was like Oh, no I know we were just about to get to the really moody stuff too. I was excited like seriously me I feel like we covered It so like the information that we wanted to talk about was there, but I wanted to hear his Insights into that Any any fighter pilots out there? I said that that um void was a pilot He was a fighter pilot and apparently if you say that if you call a fighter pilot a pilot with an earshot of a fighter Pilot they're going to be very upset. They're going to fight. So he was a fighter pilot He's a fighter a frickin fighter pilot at the end for speed All right showbot let's see what we got go about what you got Startup wars. It's kind of funny. Schneider man. Schneider man does whatever an attorney general can An ag can even an ag can might fit if you did that. Yeah Whatever an ag can See See e and already wants Veronica interviewing folks around town, right? Gotta pay me more for that Patrons That's a field shoot You want to pay for my gas? You know Veronica's field rate mileage. It's a lot It's a lot It's a lot It's a lot. Does this registration number make my drone look big? That's funny That's too long The military internet complex yep By the way as a public service announcement The star wars premiere is tonight and 5 30 pacific the live stream Will be happening. So if like me you live five blocks from it and don't want to walk It will be on the internet with much better access Wait, what they're not streaming the movie. No, there's are you kidding? They're streaming the the red carpet They're what they're just streaming people walking up. No interviews and stuff. It's the carpony thing You know like what I did both game of thrones, which is cooler by far. Thank you Much cooler and much more of a sustainable job career Whatever if I got yeah Yeah, carpony. Yeah, whatever if I lived in LA I'd get jobs too Maybe I know and if I lived in san francisco, I'd get lots of jobs too. You too should swap We should just swap. What are you talking about? You're working to entertainmenty stuff No, because everything here is not to get on a terrible tangent before we pick the title But yeah, we have picked the title yet. I need to pick the title. Um Drone papers, please military internet startup wars Yeah startup wars Veronica, what do you think? I like I kind of like startup wars. All right done Startup wars is it carry on what we're gonna say. Okay. I was just gonna say that unfortunately a lot of the entertainment stuff here Is awful because it involves chasing celebrities not interviewing people of interest When you're actually here it is or it's just junkety and the junkets of our own version of hack because You don't want an interview. I don't know. I I I've done it and I feel icky doing it So until I can find a thing that doesn't make me feel icky I don't want to do it I'm not joking you guys. I need dear Veronica questions. Just do the Do the questions are they tech are they tech related they can be tech related they can be They can be Science related they can be social media related. They could be just regular like agony column Questions they can be pretty much literally I will I answered a question about ghost girlfriends last week So let's just put that out there. It can be funny agony Cheating Yeah, you know cheating if I ask you a question If I submit it that's a little no, thanks. So my friend my friend, uh, eric Um submitted a question Okay, all right. I'll try to think of a question Um, I'm answering I'm just doing a question about allergies to electromagnetism because I want to talk about it Yeah, I don't have a question So I'm just gonna do an anecdote and then bring on the expert I just think it's funny to talk about so dear Veronica My neighbors don't want a smart meter because they're afraid of electromagnetic radiation. Should I be worried? That's perfect. You could take that out if you want. Well, we had we had a lady. We were installing This woman just came up to ryan when we first moved in and started talking about her allergies to electromagnetism You know what would be great is if you could get michael mckin in character To ask that question from the set of better call saw Oh my god. Yes. Oh my god. Oh my god. Oh my god. Oh my god How am I gonna? I have to I have to have the video response or video question by the 20th Well, then save that one and do a thing where you pitch Um, vinskilig in that When they get back to set, you know, that's not gonna happen when they get back to no, it's not gonna happen But it's not ever gonna run it up down. I gotta think big. I know You haven't learned you just have to ask and keep asking politely And they'll do it. They'll do it. You don't get 100 of the things you don't ask for that's right Or as yoda would say Do or do not there is no try or is no try There is no wussy being out. He says that part right Can I have a pony? I had a pony at my birthday party when i'm six Did you really? I probably did this video video exists Um, okay. So today is all oh oh oh soliciting from dts chat room soliciting from post show viewing audience If you have pictures from the year in dts Please send them to feedback at daily tech news show.com because I and along with some other folks have been diligently crafting the best of video And if you know cool nerd tackler picks greg skinner If you have I know he sent me the links already, but I need them again Uh, you have a picture from all of tom's Um hangouts or meet-ups. Sorry of all tom's meet-ups when we talked, um, when you when he was off doing things that weren't vacation Leaving you're responsibly in charge That would be cool because we don't have our like little hangouty section yet So anyway, there's that Right the seattle meet-up the detroit meet-up right because I don't have any pictures of those and those are the meet-ups you did this year So, uh feedback at daily tech news show calm and also tom never took any vacations here. He just worked Just fyi. That's funny. I'll be taking one soon vacation Vacations all I ever wanted although I hate that ces is like the dark cloud hanging over my vacation Right. It's like, uh rest and relaxation followed by disaster And technically it should be a little better this year because of the later start But that's not really true for journalists No Or anybody really because everybody comes early because by the time the show starts all you want is for it to end Well, yeah, all the news breaks before the show starts Yeah, I don't have like my my flights aren't finalized yet Like my hotels aren't finalized yet. Like I don't know where I'm going I don't have any of my shooting schedule Like I don't like if my flight from hawaii is late back into san francisco And I miss my flight to vegas that night. Like I'm gonna be in big trouble Like I just don't know what's gonna happen. I hate not knowing you could drive drive from hawaii. Yeah Not from hawaii from Yeah, how long but it's like it's like a like a how long is it from san francisco? Yeah, let's just be driving literally all night. I guess yeah, yeah I mean, what's the big deal with that and then working constantly for seven days sounds awful awesome Bill it You know I don't know. Okay. I mean they they don't see the destination before they accept the ride Do they you can put it in but they don't know but they don't see it even when you put it in I don't think that's what one driver was telling me. No, they see it. They always ask me or maybe it's they can't decline it I don't know. He was saying like he can't because he lived in orange.  That's what I Yeah, so that way and they'd be able to decline it and that would be bad Yeah Because he he lived in orange county and his all the rides would take him to lax or downtown And he'd always be trying to luck into a ride home before he would end his shift But he couldn't tell right so He's like the worst. He's like the only time it really sucked was the night my last ride of the night with to Sherman Oaks Which is way north in orange county I've only ever gotten turned down for cab rides in new york I've only ever had a taxi driver say no, I'm not going there and then not and then drive away I was in midtown and I was trying to get to Somewhere else on manhattan. I wasn't trying to go to like queens. He just didn't want to go there He just didn't want to go there. Yeah, I was like a few You have one job That's normal. I know it's it is normal in new york. Okay. I gotta take the dog out. Am I free? Okay, you're free. You're free Bye guys. Bye Enjoy star wars It's gonna be a tough time to be on the internet these next couple days Well, I won't be able to see anything for like a couple of weeks. Yeah. Yeah. Good luck, man Oh Ellie He's all asleep.  Well, it could be hockey tech really we have an act on all the time. Yeah Um, oh, yeah, wait. So wait, hold on. I'm looking at the calendar for a second. We're talking about this thursday Yeah, okay, and I do I have that in the calendar? No, I don't so Jen Cutter So to n gen to n gen she said to n gen All right, so I added now do I need to send her an official booking or we'll just send her the one the day before she booked Um, you should probably send it.  It's a very divisive trailer. Is it I love it You know why I love it because they're using movie music from the first movie which is a cue to say We are the first movie and not the second movie What did that mean? They already came out with two movies. No, I'm saying the second movie was divisive And so and went in a different direction. And so what they're saying is in spirit We are much more like the first movie than we are the third For a second movie. Sorry. So I liked it. I thought it was awesome I wish they would change the design of the ship a little bit Well, it doesn't look like well, I won't spoil it but in case people aren't watching the trailer but uh Something changes about the design of the ship, but it's that way Uh, but yeah, I uh, the only thing I'm I just got what you were saying The only thing I have um concerns about are those uniforms Like I don't love them But it's fine The every time they change the uniforms Oh, I didn't even notice that they had changed them coats the outer coats with the blue and the yellow I'm like, is that so it's it's original series Style generally, but they're doing the next generation coat thing. Is that what it is? Yeah, it's yeah, it's like the very formal shouldered Look that is sort of tng-ish But it's still solid color right not not the two tone. It's got a very rough texture Is if they modeled it well, no, I'm not gonna say it because I love him too much Uh Anyway, if you get a chance either one of you you should watch a chaos on the bridge Which is a short little documentary done by William Shatner about The uh, the start of star trek the next generation and all the uh machinations And all the like back and forth and like I don't know. I tried to watch the captain's documentary It's better than the captain's It's there's there's precious very little Like Shatner in it He he just he just he just opens it and like just segues between different scenes And most of it is just the former writers and stuff talking about how like, you know people You know how gene rottenberry was like incredibly high-handed and like he had this vision How the future would look you can't can't it can't be like this and that They had a great one on When they hired Patrick Stewart And some guys said that one of the It's the guy from paramount. I say it's like it's like he's you know, they're looking at it. He's bald and gene rottenberry turns So it's like it's the 23rd century doesn't matter Very interesting it was it was actually Birdie eye opening on why the series changed as abruptly as it did during like season three or enough All right, I'll go to try I'll give it a go All right, so who who in the in the post show world is going to make the ellie grows up montage for my best of video Well from like a little baby to a bigger baby, but like all the videos that you're like little tiny Yeah, it would just be like a little still shot from like a little nugget to What she is now, but she's asleep I'll see what I can do. I get it. It's a lot. It would be a lot. It's like more work than it's worth Really, except it would be awesome I'm so I saw the right to cover letter and redo my listening for spacex Which would be cool if I got it You're still live You're still live Be cool if I got it. Yeah. I mean, I think that's entirely true Yes, W. Scott is one just just take clips from the hangouts is a full-time occupation Just take clips from the hangouts every day. That's how you would do it if you did it all year long Yeah, I can't do that When was ellie born? 27th of january Wow, I went up to a year Gosh, she's gotten heavy too Three weeks three weeks ago. She was 20 pounds. Wow 19 pounds not she's like 22 And she's longer And I was going to check her diapers her legs her feet reached my face Yeah, I used to as the bruises can attest Wow, you can't even tweet about ces without weird tech companies starting to follow you You know, I yep I've done I did ces for 12 years straight I have never been more happy That never to have to go back to vegas for that again.  I don't know That's an open question. So we're saying you're saying you're at the start of the cycle where you Yeah, that's said you aren't going here. I won't go. Yeah, and then And all the rest someone always convinces me into it No, I will say it's cool If you aren't if you aren't one of those people that needs to get turned around quickly like Yeah, that this I got this, you know, interview got turned around turned around Yeah, if you're not trying to cover it live, right? Like not even just live streaming but like like same day Yeah Basically as long as you don't have to use any mobile device from the floor. It's fine And then if you do it's a nightmare They do the press conferences It's amazing because like You know, whatever blog tech crunch or adventure people have like two or three people in there And then some of the all kind of flood as soon as the door opens. I hate to use this Turn but it's kind of like rats leaving and sinking ship the other Yeah, I'm well the whole conference is still set up with a 1950s style of reporting Which is I go attend the event. I make my notes I go back at the end of the day to my hotel room I type up my story and then I phone it into the office for the next day's edition works great for that You got to publish right away Forget it I mean, don't forget it. It's just really hard My gosh What's going on over there? I think jenny's being attacked jenny's being attacked by a dog roger's being attacked by a baby By a sleeping baby Yeah, I see yes to me is just like Just be virtual already like I can't wait for five years from now and see or Set up press conferences and things for for the journalist side I understand there's a whole trade show side that really underpins the thing and you have to do certain things for that But for the press conference side like I we're got to the we're getting to the point where you can provide ample bandwidth and just let people stream And blog from right there rather than making them rush out schedule it so that you know, you don't have to I don't know 8,000 more press like little press booths Yeah, part of it is they try to one up each other. Yeah.   Washing machine that you keep communicating with your phone Like oh when it's it's not like when it's done. Yeah, you do when your phone's in the washing machine Well, it's it's well Like if you can get it so an arm comes in and picks out your wet clothes and drops it in the dryer It starts it that would be cool Or how about a combined washer dryer in one Thing where it drops your clothing from the washer down into the dryer that exists without you having to do it Well, I I've never seen one. Maybe they don't sell them at that time. They have combined washer dryers like that I don't think they work very well. I think that's the problem All right, well, thanks everybody for watching and we will be back with Todd Whitehead tomorrow. Goodbye


Hey, everybody. This is Christian Buckley with another MVP buzz chat and I'm talking today with Chicago. Hello. Hello. Nice. Thanks for having me Christian. Thank you guys to have you. And for folks that don't know who you are. Who are you where are you and what do you do. Yeah, so everybody my name is Thiago to study you. I'm originally from Brazil, Sao Paulo, Brazil actually, but I've been living in US almost three years. I already lived one year in New Zealand. And yeah, well what we're in New Zealand in Auckland. I love New Zealand. I would move there. But amazing country. Yeah, it is amazing. I spent a lot of time I've explored I think I've explored more of the South Island than North Island but yeah. I'd like to spend more time over there but we had to return my wife was missing her family and we had to return. Which is why we're not going either what once you you've got kids and I'm getting grandkids. You can't move that across the other side of the planet. It's harder. Yeah, maybe it will be a retirement plan for those. Yep. Well, so and what do you do so where do you work and what do you do. Oh yeah, so. Yeah, so I've been working with dot net since 2004. And I worked with several different projects since then, several different technologies I even work with SharePoint, we was chatting before the recording. Anyway, and it's pretty much what everybody has their shareport experience some sometime in their career. Yeah, exactly. And since 2013 or less I've been working with Azure and most of the projects have been working since then, somehow they are running on Azure. Yeah. It's pretty much what I decided to focus. We were kind of talking about, you know, there's so many different things that are within Azure like so what do you focus on within Azure because there. I work with so good friend that I do a number of community activities with Mike Nelson who's more of the infrastructure side of the Azure side and I even saying that that's a pretty broad statement. Yeah, yeah, what do you focus on. So, most of the projects I've been working they are web APIs or web based, and they are running on top of app services. And we are using other things like storage accounts, Cosmos DB or SQL database, as well as service bus for messaging and heavily using Azure functions and a lot, some key vault for secret management. I think those are the services that I've been working nowadays, but I already worked with data factory a few years ago. What else I work with event hubs as well for one project, but most of the time are those that I already described. Yeah. Interesting. I noticed you also have an MBA. That's kind of an odd thing for somebody that's on the computer science track so kind of what what what inspired you to go that direction. Yeah, that's a good thing you notice because MBA in Brazil it's something different. Oh, not like business side, but in my case, for example, I have an MBA in software engineering, basically, and we study, you know, quality attributes we studied design patterns in depth we studied this kind of things. And I'll keep curiously many years after I finished my MBA I was invited to teach that and I was teaching until I moved here to US so it was a nice thing. But I also have plans to start master degree, but it's, you know, something that's on my mind I don't know if it will work in the end. Let's see. If a company decided to pay for me I'll definitely do but from my pocket I don't think it will work again. I don't know. You know, I have the same thing like I almost started a doctoral program many many years ago. I ended up going. I was slated to start. I started working for Microsoft in 2006. I saved my start twice I lost my placement so I would have had to reapply all over again. And I just I got to the point kind of similar where I'm like weighing that mean the cost, and obviously the time the family commitment to go and do that. Yes, like I don't know that I will get any kind of financial benefit from from doing that. Yeah, yeah so it's. Which what you know honestly that's that's kind of a good thing for us. I mean feel like it's like if you figure you're that you're having success in your career. If it's not really going to add value you've got to be doing pretty good I mean usually the degree well for most people. Yeah, it's because you'll see an increase after that. I just don't think even having a PhD. I mean, maybe it'll be easier to get, you know, to write some books to get, you know, but I've already like you, I think you've written a couple books having you. Yeah, I have to. If you have that pattern. It's, it's actually easier to go and get to get pick up new projects in fact, I get calls all the time from various publishers like hey would you be interested in joining on this book I'm like, no. Yeah, so one thing I learned after this process of writing books is that you need to write a book that will last, otherwise there is a high chance before you end the writing process it's already outdated. Especially if you're focusing on Azure or things in the cloud that change all the time. What's especially within technology, it should be if you're going to spend that much time because it's a lot of work to prepare a book. It is, especially, honestly, I think it's harder to write it with co authors than just by yourself and you're driving that process but it's, it's best if you write about something that you're actually leveraging that. I mean, my first book, my co founder and I have a software company, we wrote it we are both consulting at the time so we incorporated our book into our consulting practices. So we go and teach classes or do consulting and the book sales was incorporated into the fees, you know it was built in because we would actually leverage our material like training material, or the courseware. And it just kind of worked out and to your point later books where we went and wrote things where it. Yeah, I see how now so many authors have moved to the digital format, so that they can constantly update it, and not worry about so much about you can still get the print copies of one version of that, but they're really just kind of an ongoing writing project. Exactly. But this happens in also other industries for example, we do have this problem with Microsoft documentation as well. Some things that are published and you're supposed to go there to find the latest implementation, it's, you know, stale. They have so many pages so many things to document that it's hard to follow the same pace as the engineering team that's constantly adding new features and delivering it. It is what it is we need to somehow live with that. Well, you just described like how I entered the technology space I started as a tech writer than as a business analyst. That was my job was updating all that documentation it was. An unforgiving job it was just constantly endless. Yeah, just ongoing. Well, that's yeah that it's a, like I said, for people that want to go out and write a lot of a lot of friends have written books and more power to them I know what's involved. I'm not, I know how little you get back out of it. There's, you know, one in a million that that does well in fact I was talking about how my, one of my favorite authors of all time is Orson Scott card sci fi he had been winning all these awards. He still had a full time regular job a day job and was writing that he won all these science fiction awards had these beloved books that were very successful, but was still a technical writer for Atari back in the early 80s. But he had that day job, and it took him a few years of success before he was able to actually make enough to be full time as a writer. It's, it requires a lot of discipline and commitment, like for example, every day I'll write one page or two or 10 whatever until it reach some, you know, point that he can send for review and start publishing. Yeah. Well, Chicago, what was your path to becoming MVP. That's a good question.  I think it was 2012 or 13. I was working for a small company and the partners and owners of this company, they were MVPs. So somehow I got involved with and they started to invite me to present in the same events that they were presenting. And at the same time, or a few years later, maybe 2014 or 2015 something like this. Microsoft was creating the first data center in Brazil. And we were working on a project for that particular data center. And I had the opportunity to be a beta tester and you know, I was interacting a lot with the engineers and they call me and we spent time together figuring out things and anyway, I think this blend of things somehow, you know, got the attention from the MVP lead and it is how I started the program, sorry. And since then I've been helping a lot of the community. I'm reaching almost 1 million users in the stack overflow that somehow they visualized my answers and replies. I only focus on Azure Tech. And besides that, I send emails directly to program managers on the services that I described earlier, like App Service, Azure Functions, we exchange a lot of emails. I provide feedback. Somehow they invited me to, like, what we are doing here at 30 minutes call and I share my screen to do some things, or they ask my feedback on a particular feature and most of the time it takes more than 30 minutes and we start chatting about other things. And yeah, I think they like these kind of things that I do. Even though I'm not super famous as MVP, I think I provide a good feedback for them and it is how I'm still in the program, I think. You know, that's always one of the hardest things where you need to have some level of visibility with Microsoft and, like, the MVP leads and people will ask, well, how do you do that? It's like, well, because it's not, hey, I need to go and become, you know, the social famous, that necessarily, hey, there's some people that do that that are recognized and have a lot of followers, they go and do that, that kind of recognition. But others are, like you said, it's, you know, that are just very active in the forums that are providing help that are involved with their regional level with the user group. Some people that get very involved with the MTCs and different events and so you kind of catch attention of Microsoft people that way. Maybe there's a number of ways that you can do that, that don't have you out there, you know, as the big name on this stage. Yeah, what I'd like to highlight is there's no formula, right? But if you probably already did this, but if you interview like 100 different MVPs, somehow, there's something that in common. It's passion for technology, passion for community, and impact. So, for example, as I said, I'm not super famous, but one feedback that I gave to the team and they implemented it will affect like thousands of users or even millions of users, right? So this is, you know, somehow it's important. So that's the thing I would like to say. So, for example, as I mentioned, my answer is on Stack Overflow, it's almost reaching one million users. There's another MVP that I know in New Zealand, a small country, New Zealand, he has like 30 million rich people with his answers, and he only focus on the identity part. You know what I mean? So, anyway, again, there is no formula, but somehow you need to, you know, find your own way and try to combine those elements that I described like passion for technology for community and somehow impact multiple people. That's what I would say. I know that that's the hardest thing. One of the things that you said was that I really like, and I advise anybody that has interest. And even if you have interest, I think humility is important too, where there's a lot of people you might have the goal, but to recognize that by participating by doing all these things by developing these healthy habits, there's a lot of benefits out of that, whether or not you ever become an MVP. Correct. You're going to get benefits from kind of shaping your, your, your work life, your technology life around these kind of principles. But one thing that you said about finding mentors as well is so important. Yes, exactly. It's that that is key because you do need to have a Microsoft person or an MVP current MVP submit your name now. Yeah. But it's good to have that advice to have that encouragement. Good point. But not only for that, for example, it is good to have mentor for your career, because it will save time. And sometimes you may think that something it's trending when it's not like, for example, I don't know some some product or technology that there's something else that we will replace, or even you, you, it will save your time for example. What one thing that we like, it's to attend and speak on conferences, because I'll be exposed to multiple different topics in one day, for example, or two days. And if I had to start by myself, all those topics, it will take way more than two days, you know what I mean. And after that, I, I will decide, Hey, who do I need to invest more time on it or no, and then I'll plan the next steps. That's a good tip that I would like to leave here for your audience. Yeah. I really appreciate this and Jago for your time and and great to meet you and hopefully one of these days will be back doing in person. You know, MVP summits and we'll get to meet up but for folks that want to find out more about you and follow you, what are the best ways to reach you in social. Yeah, Twitter or like LinkedIn both on at th.net. That's my alias and I had everybody just saying hi and that's it. I'll leave here and if you can put in the description that will be good. We'll do. Well, Chiago is great, great talking with you and have a great rest of your day. Thanks so much for having me.


Each year, the admissions team at Marquette University reads the stories of thousands of students hoping to join the Marquette family. When making admissions decisions, one of the things we look for are students who embody the Marquette motto, Be the Difference. Today, we're headed out to Children's Hospital to surprise one such student. Keanna, the student we'll be surprising today, has volunteered over 800 hours at Children's Hospital throughout her high school experience. She thinks she's showing up for just another regular volunteer shift. What Keanna doesn't know is that we work with her family and the hospital to put together a group of staff, including CEO Peggy Troy, who also happens to be on Marquette's Board of Trustees, as well as Nancy Horum, Vice President and Chief Nursing Officer, to celebrate Keanna's work at Children's Hospital, as well as let her know that she's been admitted to Marquette's College of Nursing. Both Peggy and Nancy are Marquette Nursing alumna and are very excited to be a part of this special day. So, guess what? We're both Marquette grads. Oh my gosh, yes. Guess what we got? Something very special that I know. Something you've been looking for in your family. That was your Marquette application. Not only here, but our parents are only appropriate to you. Bring everyone together to celebrate, you know, the work you've done, and we noticed that and thought it was really cool, as well as let you know at the same time that you've been admitted to Marquette's College of Nursing.

Links, discounts to my favorite things and of course, come join our Facebook group. We would love to have you. So let's jump in to today's video. Absolutely amazing week. I had a great week, lots and lots of changes this week, things that I've been thinking long and hard about and decided to go ahead and bite the bullet and I can't wait to share those with you guys. If you saw Wednesday's What I Eatin' a Day, you saw that that morning, instead of doing my usual gym routine of walking to the gym, doing upper body, walking home, I actually attended a boot camp. In my community called Rancho, there is the Rancho Boot Camp. They actually meet Monday through Friday at 5 a.m. to 6 a.m. or from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. and it is a boot camp style of workout. Now the workouts vary day to day. There's some total body workouts, upper body, lower body, and then on the weekends they often do hikes that you can participate in if you would like. I heard about this boot camp several months ago but I had already hired my fitness coach Steph and didn't want to invest both in a fitness coach and in boot camp when I can use the gym here in my community at no extra charge other than my flat HOA. So I had opted just to stick with Steph, my fitness coach, and do the workouts that she gave me. I have been with her for five months. I can't believe I've had a fitness coach for five months. I can't believe that I have been on my fitness journey for five months. Now I can believe it in my body and my sizing and how toned up my body has gone, which I am so grateful for but I can't believe it's already been five months. It actually blows my mind how quickly the time went. Now don't get me wrong, I love the accountability of having a fitness coach. I love that she structures my workouts for me. She talks me off the ledge when I'm on the ledge, especially when it comes to the scale. But to be honest with you, I'm getting a little bit bored with my workouts. I have been doing the same routine now for five solid months, walking to the gym, lifting upper body weights, doing the elliptical, doing lower body weights, walking, which don't get me wrong. I love walking, I love working out, I love strength training. I definitely don't want to quit any of those things. In fact, I just wanna change it up a little bit. I wanna amp up my workouts. So after thinking long and hard, I decided to make some changes when it comes to my fitness routine. So my five months is up with Steph, my fitness coach, as of the 17th of October. And after going to the bootcamp class on Wednesday, I decided to go ahead and join the Rancho bootcamp and I plan on doing the bootcamp three days a week and the remaining four days of the week will either be strength training or walking or both. I'm still planning on walking to the gym, doing strength training, walking home. I'm still planning on taking my walks around my community and taking a walk or having a rest day on Sunday. So I just decided to swap out my elliptical workouts with the Rancho bootcamp three days a week. I'm getting in a little bit different workout, a total body workout on a couple of the days that I choose to do the bootcamp every week, but I'm also meeting other women in my community, which is really important to me because we just moved here back in March and I really don't know anybody other than my neighbors who are my friends, my in-laws and my realtors. So this is a great way for me to branch out and meet other women in my community and like-minded women, women who enjoy fitness and exercise. And in fact, on the 22nd of this month, I'm going to a little ladies night with all of the girls from the Rancho bootcamp. Well, girls in one guy. There's one guy in the bootcamp as well. So because I decided to make the investment in the bootcamp, I decided not to renew with my fitness coach for now. I want to give the bootcamp a solid month. I'll kind of reevaluate at the end of November, how I'm feeling, do I want to continue with the bootcamp or do I want to go back and have, or do I want to hire Steph again and have her be my fitness coach? I can do my own macros and calories. I've got my workouts nailed down. I know how many reps and what weights and what exercises to do on lower body and upper body days. I just needed a change. I especially needed a change in cardio because we know I don't love the elliptical. I don't love it. It's probably my least favorite part of working out, but I know that cardio is essential. So I thought that a bootcamp would be pretty fun. After my bootcamp workout on Wednesday, on Thursday, I had to take a Tylenol. I was that sore and not just a little sore. Every limb on my body was sore, my arms, my legs, my butt, my feet, everything was sore from that workout. It was so intense, but it felt really good when I finished. I was really proud of myself that I was able to make it through it. Running, burpees, squats and all. I made it through that workout and I'm hoping that it doesn't get easier per se, but I'm less sore as time goes on. I'm just using different muscles than I did with my previous workouts. So I'm really excited about this change. It's a big change for me.  So the money isn't the issue. I just wanted to change up my workouts a little bit. So I'll definitely keep you guys posted on how it goes, but I'm pretty excited. My food choices this week were really good. I was able to get in my water every day. I've been utilizing my electrolyte supplements and my element electrolyte supplements and my 6 a.m. run post workout. That has really saved me from these boot camps, especially my element electrolytes. Those have been big game changers for me when it comes to refueling my body after my workout. When we sweat and when we work out, we go through a lot of the stored electrolytes in our body and we need to replenish them. And having the element electrolytes in my life has been a huge game changer for me. I love having my element electrolytes when I get home from my workout. They have really changed the game when it comes to recovery and muscle soreness. It's a truly meaningful dose of electrolytes in a science-backed little ratio packet. There's 1,000 milligrams of sodium, 60 milligrams of magnesium, and 200 milligrams of potassium. They are vegan, paleo and keto friendly. Everything you need and nothing you don't. No sugar, no gluten and no sketchy ingredients. You can purchase them by the box or these little travel packs that have one of each different flavor of electrolytes and then that way you can try out the different flavors, find your favorites. The chocolate salt is amazing in coffee for that chocolate goodness and the raw unfiltered has zero taste whatsoever. So you can literally mix it into your water.  I love to add lots of ice, shake it up and sip on it. It tastes really good. The flavor is there and it's not overly salty. I love, love, love it. I've shared element electrolytes a few times here on my channel. You guys are loving them. They taste really good and they help balance out the electrolytes that we all need day to day whether we're working out or not. So I'll make sure that I link element down below for you. I can't recommend that electrolyte supplement enough. Before I jump into this week's weigh-in, let's talk about this week's WW Workshop topic and this is a good one.  Did you know that breakfast stands for break fast? When we sleep, we're fasting. We're not consuming food, so it's a state of fasting. And when we wake up in the morning, we need to break that fast with breakfast. So this is how to make breakfast work for you. The jury's still out on whether or not breakfast is the most important meal of the day, but it is important to break your fast after sleeping in a healthy way with a good solid breakfast. Here's how to take your mornings from chaos to calm when it comes to breakfast. Number one, decide on the basics. I'm going to eat my first meal when, at where. So if breakfast isn't for you, cool. Focus on whatever your first meal of the day is. Number two, make a plan. I want to eat this and use this many points or calories and I'll shop for these ingredients when. Sure, you can stick with classic eggs and oatmeal, but even dinner leftovers are fair game for breakfast. Search the WW app for even more inspiration. Number three, prep your meal. I'll get my ingredients together when and cook them when. These don't have to be the same every day. Make a single meal, batch cook for an entire week, or don't cook at all overnight oats, please. You can make breakfast one of the simplest meals of the day and one of the best meals when it comes to breaking your fast and starting your day off right. Not to mention by having a healthy breakfast, it gets your metabolism burning and boosting for the day. If the only thing on your breakfast menu is coffee, please rethink that. I have coffee every morning, you know that. I have my four shots of espresso with my protein shake, but that's not my breakfast. That's like my precursor to breakfast. I usually have that first and then an hour or two later, sometimes after my workout, have a healthy breakfast.  It can be an hour or two after you get up, but make sure you're fueling your body in the morning to jumpstart your metabolism and so that you're not going into your next snack or meal ravenously hungry, therefore overeating and kind of blowing your day first thing in the morning. Skipping breakfast doesn't necessarily inhibit your weight loss, but it isn't the best choice when it comes to getting your metabolism going for the day. And like I said, you don't have to eat first thing in the morning, just make sure within an hour or two after waking that you're putting something of substance in your body. It really just helps set a healthy tone for the day, which can have a ripple effect through the rest of the day. When you start your day off with a healthy breakfast, you tend to eat healthier meals through the rest of the day because again, you're not going to the next meal or snack ravenously hungry. You fueled your body first thing in the morning, got your metabolism going, and that leads to healthier choices throughout the day. So make breakfast a priority. Even if you don't love breakfast food, nothing's off limits when it comes to breakfast. Choose something you like, but find a way to break your fast and start your metabolism in a healthy way. So I really like this topic. I'm a big breakfast eater. I love breakfast food. And for me, within an hour or two after finishing my protein coffee, I'm hungry and I need something of substance, something I can chew rather than something that I can dream. So again, I really like this topic and I think breakfast is one of the most important meals of the day. So now that we've talked about my new workouts, my food, my water, how important breakfast is, let's talk about this week's weigh-in. Like I said, the soreness is at a whole new level. And whenever we're sore from breaking down our muscles and our muscles rebuilding, they become inflamed and they retain fluid because they're sore. That's what helps them rebuild. And when our muscles are broken down and rebuilt, that's how they grow.  So I didn't have a lot of high hopes for my weigh-in this week. And my weight did a lot of this and then a tiny bit of this and then back to this and a lot of this. So it was a lot of up and down all week after my boot camp workouts, after lifting weights, my weight always goes up. And then generally it will stabilize and then generally go down by Friday's weigh-in. So this week was a little bit of an exception just because I started a whole new workout routine with a whole new level of soreness that when I stepped on the scale today, I am down 0.2. I honestly expected the scale to be up because I did boot camp yesterday. So I thought for sure that the scale would be up today. Luckily, boot camp on Thursdays is upper body day so it wasn't as intense as full body day. That may be why I benefited with a little bit of a loss this week on the scale but I'll take it because I feel really good and I'm proud of myself for starting a harder exercise routine. We should always progress in our fitness. Whether it's a harder cardio routine, heavier weights, more reps, we should always be progressing in our fitness routine and that's exactly what I did and I'm really proud of myself for making that choice. And I'm proud of a 0.2 loss. Nobody's complaining about a 0.2 loss. So now I wanna hear from you. Let me know how was your week? Did you gain? Did you lose?  And even give us some ideas of what your go-to breakfast options. I'd also love to hear from you if you attend boot camp and what you think. If you think it's as hard and as crazy as I think that it is, let me know all of the things down below.  Make sure you're subscribed because I do away in every Friday and I upload five videos every single week. Check out the description box down below for nutrition coaching as well as links and discounts to my favorite things. Happy Friday friends, happy weekend and I'll see you all in tomorrow's grocery haul.


Putin allies Nuke over Siberia warning resurfaces amid satellite threat. Controversial remarks made by a top Kremlin propagandist that suggested testing an atomic bomb over Siberia have resurfaced on social media amid a U.S. warning about Russia's space and nuclear capabilities, according to Newsweek. It is noted that a clip of Margarita Simonian, editor-in-chief of the Russian state-controlled media organization RT, speaking on state TV in October 2023, has been reshared on X by the Daily Beast's Julia Davis in light of a warning from a U.S. official of a serious national security threat. ABC News first reported that the warning came from Representative Mike Turner, Republican chair of the U.S. House of Representatives Intelligence Committee, saying that it was in relation to a Russian space-based nuclear weapon that could potentially be used on satellites. Simonian, a longtime ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin, suggested that such an explosion would destroy all radio electronics and everything digital, including all of the satellites, cameras and phones. She claimed life would revert back to how it was in 1993 and that she'd be glad to live in a world with fewer gadgets. At least, I will no longer have to explain to my kids why everyone else has gadgets, except for them, she said. For Russia, a nuclear ultimatum is becoming inevitable, with no alternative, said Simonian. They will not back down until they feel a lot of pain or until they realize they're about to be in a lot of pain. Oh, so Simonian was serious when she talked about blowing up a nuclear bomb in space above Siberia, asked ex-user Vlada Nolten.
