I'm ready, I think. Hello there, I'm Brittany. Hi, I'm Dee. Hi, I'm Amar. Hey, my name is Jonathan. I'm from AJ and Smart. I'm from AJ and Smart. I'm from AJ and Smart. I'm from AJ and Smart. I'm from AJ and Smart. And I'm gonna talk to you today about retrospectives. I honestly did not have any portfolio when I started out. It was very much about getting to know people, building relationships, and then they would see the way I work, or I would volunteer, or I would do some work for free. No money, no problems. What is the thing? It's like... More money, more problems. More money, yeah. Here at AJ and Smart, we do a C*** load of design sprints. Not sure if I can say C*** on YouTube, but I just did. Is the design sprint a trend? Cool. Them fighting words, Kit. Good morning, AJ and Smart team. I just learned from Calum that you guys are about to hit 100,000 YouTube subscribers, which is amazing. And in celebration of that big number, I'm going to, this morning, run 100,000 miles, one mile for every subscriber. So congratulations, I'm excited. 100,000, way to go, you guys. All right, let's do it. Let's go. I'm a designer, although it's been a while since I actually did any real design on products. All right, guys, so here's the deal. We kind of messed up the sound on this video. Yeah. Sorry about that. The content is still great, but you're going to hear every so often some sort of C***. It's always fun to have more AJ and Smart people in the video. We are in beautiful Mallorca, Spain, on a company retreat, and unfortunately, there's no way to say that without it sounding douchey. Like there really just isn't. So we're sorry about that, but we are enjoying ourselves if it's any consolation. It's kind of weird because I'm filming with my unmade bed in the background. It feels a bit intimate. I'm here in Japan, Tokyo. Check it out. Oh my God. So you took out a pen and with gusto, you started to draw on it. And then you were like in the middle of this incredible speech that you were giving. You realized that you were using a Chapelle Permanent Marqueur. You just done a boo-boo. It's dry for heaven's sake. Look at that. Don't worry. This is how we're going to solve it. What do we have here? It's a Lumicolor whiteboard marker pen. Take it out. You're looking for some good tips on how to get a UX design to nail your UX design. Listen, are you looking for... Listen, are you looking for some tips on how to get... Oh, hi there. What are those looks? Oh, hi there. They don't get it because what you meant was swiping upwards and they thought they were swiping to the side, you know? And it's all just a big mess of confusion. Probably we'll end up in murder. I mean, probably somebody will get killed. My name is Jonathan Courtney and this is... Bruna, hi. How are you guys? This is Bruna's first time on The Sunday Slap, so... I am not kid, sorry. She's not kid. Now, this was a huge one. I believe the founder of Vegean Smart has bought this one the other day. It's called The Artist's Whip. Did you buy this one, John? Yeah. I'd love to chat about it with you at some point. Just looking for excuses to speak to John. Did you hear that? Oh, I actually breathed it back. Can I just take this for a second? We're just standing here. That's it. Just standing here in part of the Vegean Smart office. Okay, Callum, are we gonna make this video? Yeah. What up, Vegean Smart? It's me, Gary Vee. I'm here with the gals. Have the best day of your life. There's a bird right there.  And what I was trying to do, too, is if I could resolve the S, I can create a little mark for you that becomes iconic, like Nike. Over time, it's just your swoosh. This will be your set of symbols. In the current version of the future logo, I was googling and it's actually supposed to be spelled with an E at the end. John, I love what you've done. You redefined what it means to have an icon. And you've also corrected us in our spelling, something that we obviously do not know how to do. It's unbelievable. Thank you. It's truly unbelievable. Hey, Jonathan and the team at AJ&Smart. I'm so happy that you're finally reaching 100,000 subscribers on YouTube. This is amazing. I can't forget. The first time I went to the AJ&Smart office, it was the end of 2017. And I won't forget, I saw on the wall there kind of like the big goals for our year to reach 100,000 subscribers on YouTube. And you were just starting out already with some big goals. So it did take three years to reach, but when you start with big goals, you hit them even if it takes longer than you've expected. Congrats. Lots of love and see you in the one million mark. I want everyone to stay safe, be smart, take it easy, be fair to people right now, be kind, be useful, those sorts of things. And thanks for having me on. Good to see you. Good to talk to you. We're done with the video. Hope you like this exercise. Look at our Instagram or something. I don't know. It's so early. It's very early. I love you. Boop, boop, boop, boop. Doot, doot, doot, doot, doot, doot, doot, doot. You have to tell me if hair stuff goes wrong or... I'm not looking. I mean, yeah, it looks great. Thanks for watching. Keep watching our channel to watch more of these amazing little exercises. And that's not a camera. Also, do like this video. Do share this video.  Who's ever watching this? You, camera.  Speak number. We get a 100K copy here. Hey.


All right, thanks, June. All right, yeah, so like June said, I am Nick Adams. I live in Rochester, New York. I'm originally from Connecticut. And for a while, I was in London, Ontario. I know a couple of London people here. And so I am the COO at WP Buffs. And so what we do is WordPress maintenance and support. We're a 24-7 team. We've got people on five different continents all around the world, so we're literally 24-7. We cover every single time zone. And that's our website, WPBuffs.com. Also, most importantly, I like to really have a roller coaster. So I really want to start this thing off by really just losing every single person here. And then winning everyone back by admitting that being a Bruins fan because I'm from New England does mean that I am a Bruins fan because the whalers left. And for some reason, it's not advancing. But I'm also a Raptors fan. So I think I just want everyone back. And about to win the Stanley Cup and about to win the NBA championship. So totally true. Pretty sweet that both teams that I love are in the finals. So that is it about me. So today I'm talking about local WordPress development. And so there are a lot of great reasons to do that. The most obvious one that I find is you don't need internet access. I'm someone who I'm all over the place. I like to go to the beach. I like to travel a lot. And so one of the things with that is you don't always have internet access. Even with having your own personal hotspot on your phone, those are so unreliable sometimes that you're fine. And then all of a sudden you lose it. So I love being able to work anywhere and just develop sites without needing internet access. You have control over the server. That's one of the things that I absolutely love as well, especially because there are several great hosting companies out there. But no hosting company ever promises you 100% uptime. And that's on purpose. That's because nobody can promise that with an online server. There's just too many factors. And so I'm guessing probably this has happened to several people where you're working on a website and you're on the deadline and all of a sudden there's just like an issue. PHP stops working. And so it just is giving you errors. It says the PHP module isn't running. Whereas when you're working locally, you don't have to rely on that other host to make sure that your site is running properly. You have full control over the server. And then security. If your website, while you're working on it, is only accessible on your computer, there's pretty much no chance that anyone can hack in unless they're sitting right next to you and hopefully you notice them touching your keyboard. If you see someone doing that, it's usually a security threat for so many reasons. Yeah, cats are the ones who can break this rule.  You don't want to have security flaws sitting on this live site while you're developing it. And that happens a lot. There are bots that can actually scan when, as soon as a website is launched, they can find it and they will immediately try hacking it. Especially because at the beginning of a new website is a lot of times when they're most vulnerable. Especially if you install WordPress but don't set it up, they can actually just set up their own site on your server. So working locally is just awesome for security. You have direct access to the files. This is fantastic for development, especially if you're editing a lot of files. You can just open up several files in whatever IDE or code editor you're using. And you can just edit them and save them and rename them as much as you want without having to worry about sending back and forth between the server. That especially, again, falls back onto you. You want something you can rely on and that you have control over. And if you're relying on your development, sending files back and forth to the server, the second that there's even a mild interruption at the server, all of a sudden, you can't push to live. And so you just end up with delays. I think the remote just died. There's also server caching. Anyone who has ever worked on a live server, especially depending on which one you're on, SiteGround is one that's known for this. They have fantastic server caching. The problem is, if you're trying to edit a site on that, you have to clear four caches before you're sure that you've cleared all of it. And so you can make a change and then refresh. And then the change hasn't happened. So then you clear one of the caches and the change doesn't happen. Then you go and you clear a different cache.  Whereas when you're working locally, unless you've put caching on there, there's not gonna be server caching. You don't really need it when you're working locally anyway. And so that's just fantastic because every time you change it, you can change one line in a file, click save and immediately refresh your page and your updates are on there. So that's just the reasons for why to work locally. I highly encourage it for everyone. And so in this talk, I'm also gonna be showing just how easy it is to work locally. So if you've always heard about people saying, like, oh, I build websites locally, but on my own local server, that sounds like something that may be very complicated. But it's actually really easy. Like it's no different than using like Microsoft Word. So just a couple of best practices things I'd like to point out. One of the big ones is naming file versions. This one's really important just because if you're consistently editing files and then you need to go back, this is the same for online, but it's easier to do when you're working locally because you can so rapidly just like edit, save, edit, save, edit, save, then you find out that you accidentally overwrote something or made a change you didn't mean to change. So one of the things I always recommend is whenever you're doing it, it gets a little crazy if you're making a lot of changes. But anytime you're making real changes beyond just like changing the color here or there, especially if you're working on like functions, if you're changing function names or anything like that or using different, using new filters, I always rename the file. And so like I have my style.css, which is like my actual active one, but like if you go into a site that I've worked on, you'll see like style, like only on my local server, I don't push this to live, but I've got like style version two, style version 236, and I do that. And so I actually show that to like use as many as you need to, you know, if you need to get all the way up to up to version 10, if you need to get all the way up to 100, version 100, when you're working locally, I mean, these files are tiny.  It's gonna take a lot of files for that to actually add up like thousands and thousands of them. So don't be afraid to just keep renaming files so that you have backups of everything you do. Yeah, you have a question? Yeah, yeah, for sure. Yeah, you can change the file types that it doesn't, you know, show up. Cause if you are editing like PHP files, that is one of those things. If you aren't aware, any PHP files in, you know, in a plugin are active as long as the plugin's active. So you don't want to have excess files. But yeah, so whatever naming convention works best for you, the most important thing here is just make sure you have one that's written out and make sure that it's one that you can understand so that way you can remember, you know, that you had this version and it worked on this version. And then you remember like, oh, I, you know, now I'm on version 13 and it doesn't work. So I need to go back to version 10 and look to see what my changes are. So yeah, whatever naming convention works best for you is definitely a good way to go. Yeah, so Git is definitely another option. I do love using Git, especially when I'm working on like, more like on an actual development server. So I don't, if I'm using Git, I don't actually use like this naming convention. If I'm using Git, then I'm just, you know, I'm using branches and this is more so like, if I'm just like editing a file real quick, which is more so, I don't use Git usually when I'm, like when I'm developing the whole thing locally, I more so use Git when like I'm editing a file locally and then pushing it back to the development server through Git, but definitely if you're using it locally, just use the standard Git convention of branches and core. Oh yeah, yeah, you always wanna make sure you have backups. If Git isn't working for you, then for sure. One of the other things is when you're working locally, if you have a live version of your website, you wanna make sure that you're syncing the live version with the local version. One thing that I've seen go wrong so many times when people are working on a site locally is they copy down the live version to their local and then they work on it for a few weeks and then they're like, okay, well, how do I push my changes back? Now, if you're using something like Git, that's an option, but if you are just editing a site, you don't wanna make a whole bunch of changes over a long period of time and then have your live version of your website become completely out of sync. And I've seen that several times where they say, well, I've made all these changes to the live site while someone else was working on the local site or I was making these changes on local and these ones on live and now they're completely incompatible. There are a few plug-ins that can help with that. Like there's a site sync plug-in, there's MigrateDB Pro that can help with stuff like that so that way any content changes on live can be synced back and forth. What I like to do really is my best practice is if I'm working on changes to a live site locally, I personally pretty much only do that for a certain period of time. So if I'm changing the theme, like if I'm making major theme edits and I wanna work on it locally, I'll pull it down, make no changes to live and then push it back up as soon as I'm ready. But then I also, if I do need to work on it for longer periods of time and I'm working on several parts, especially if it involves changes to content, that's where having a sync plug-in is fantastic because that way whatever changes are on live gets synced right back. So somebody adds a page, it goes on there. Somebody changes a page or some of the content, it goes on to your local server and as long as you've got the plug-in running in both places, that can really save that issue. But that's one of the biggest pitfalls that I see with people working locally is if they have a lot of changes happen. Yes? Yeah, I like Sight Sync by ServerPress. It's a good plug-in. They keep releasing updated versions and they actually are the ones who make one of the local development softwares, software pieces that I'm gonna be showing which is desktop server. So the question, I forgot to reiterate, the question was just if there's a plug-in that I like for syncing. One of the other best practices is using the same PHP version as the host. This is easier in some local development apps as opposed to others. The reason for this is if you're working on something in your local development server has PHP 7.3 and then you're pushing it to a host that's running PHP 5.6, hopefully you're not using a server with PHP 5.6 because that one's been completely end-of-life but I'm finding there are a lot of hosting companies that are still using that. So for security reasons, if your host is on PHP 5.6 or lower, talk to your host and figure out if they're providing long-term support on that or if you can get moved up. But the reason for that is there are several functions that have been deprecated between 5.6 and 7.3 and actually a couple that have been deprecated even just between like 7.0 and 7.3. And so one of the things I'm seeing is I manage hundreds of sites on a daily basis with my team and so we see it all. And one of the things that we see all the time is somebody has somebody building something for them and says, yep, this is all perfect. This works. They push it to the live server and everything breaks and it turns out it's because it was being developed on either an old, more so I see that where somebody's developing something on an old version of PHP. Then they try to push it to the server where some of these functions are no longer available and so if things break because now they have to rewrite the program to make sure that it's the right PHP version. So you want to find out what your PHP version of your host is. If you're not familiar with using like PHP info or other hosting settings, you can usually just contact your host and just ask them what's my PHP version. And that way when you're working locally, you can make sure that you're not using two very out of sync versions because what may work on one may not work on the other. Yeah. Yeah, so the plugins are supposed to say what version of PHP they work with as well. So if it's in the WordPress repository, it should be listed there. What PHP version, what the minimum version is. And so that's one easy way to find out. Yeah, so the question was, what about like when you've got, like he ran into that issue where he had a site that the host upgraded to PHP 7 and then it took down the site because something was not compatible with PHP 7. And so yeah, your best way to do that is if your site is up and working or even if you're on PHP 5.6 temporarily, if the host will do that, they'll revert it. There are some PHP compatibility checkers. I believe WP engines is still out there. And that one, it'll just check for various versions to see does your theme or do any of your plugins have code in them that will not work in PHP 7 or 7.1, 7.2, 7.3. And one caveat about that is that those PHP compatibility checkers cannot figure out if something is in a conditional. So if you've got something that says, if this is available, then run this code. Otherwise, don't run it. These PHP compatibility checkers don't have a way to check that. They can't run that logic. So they can't see that, like, oh, actually, this does work with PHP 7. It just has a fallback in the code. So that's just one of the little things. Yeah. What is this checker? Yeah, I think it's just called PHP compatibility checker. It's just a plugin. Yeah, in the repository. And last I knew they were still using that. In the latest version of WordPress, we've also got the Site Health, which will warn you about your PHP version as well. That one doesn't have the compatibility checker, but there's also a Site Health plugin that's put together by the WordPress core contributors. And that one does have a really cool feature that's called Troubleshoot. And it will actually, only for the person who's logged in, it won't affect anybody else. It will deactivate all the plugins and set you back to one of the default themes, so it'll be like 2019 theme. But that doesn't show to the world, and so you can actually then turn them on one by one to see at what point it breaks. So that way you don't have to test those changes on a live site. But the other option is, test that locally. When you're setting up your local server, choose a PHP version that's at least seven, at this point, at least seven dot two, because seven dot o and seven dot one are now being phased out. So I'm gonna compare a couple of the local server options. So MAMP is one that despite the first M being Mac, it actually does run on Windows. So this is one that's really popular, especially with people who are not building WordPress sites, which as you've seen probably by the numbers, WordPress is now like almost a third of the web. And so at this point, the number of people not building WordPress sites is getting less and less, unless they're professionals who are building like custom built, custom coded sites, and they're most likely not using MAMP, they're gonna use one of the other options that I show. One of the pros is that it is free. MAMP does have a pro version as well. And so the free version does work, it just doesn't have all the features like the ability to give it like a domain name and said it does things by IP, but it's free. And it is stable. MAMP is compared to some of the other options, it is fairly stable. And so that's a great one, especially if you're on a Mac, MAMP works really well and you can just keep running, keep working on it for hours and nothing's gonna break. And it is cross-platform. Version five is only available for Mac and version four is available for Windows. It does have some cons though. It does not auto install WordPress, which means that you have to download and install the WordPress files. It also does not auto create a database for you. You have to go into PHP, MyAdmin and actually create that database that you wanna use and then you can go in there and set up your WordPress site. So this makes it a little less user friendly for WordPress users compared to some of the other options because it requires several extra steps. It's also not easy to change PHP versions. It is possible, but it's not easy. And so that is just not a great option for if you need to test multiple PHP versions, there are some other options that work much better. So a couple of things about using MAMP are just that it has a little weird of an interface. And so I'm just gonna pull it up real quick. Hey, you have a question in the back? Yeah. Uh-huh, yeah. Yeah. All right, so with MAMP, you just saw that startup process is pretty quick. It's just got the power logo and it says start up my website. And so you've got your website, which right now I don't have anything running on MAMP, but you can access here. You've got some tools. You've got like your PHP info and that's where I was talking about, like you can check your PHP version right here at the top. So this one's running on PHP 7.3. And this is where you've got like the PHP MyAdmin for managing the database. So again, this is stuff that's a little more advanced than what some people are comfortable with. If you use PHP MyAdmin all the time, you may have no problem with this. But if you really don't feel like creating your own database every time and installing the files in the right place and going through the actual editing of files, of a certain file to choose a different PHP version, this may not be the best option for you. But that one, as you can see, fairly simple to get started. You click that, you install it and then the first thing you see after it's installed is that first page, that first popup that I showed where you just press the power button that says start the server and then it just goes. They do have a cloud option as well, which is that one's a monthly paid version as opposed to the yearly paid version for MAMP Pro, but that one, it works pretty well. I mean, cloud is nice because it gives you access to more places than just your local one, which you can do with MAMP. You can access your site from other places like within your network. So like if you wanna check it on your phone, you just have to do it by IP address and then use the right port. So the next one is desktop server. This one is really popular in the WordPress world, but it does work for non-wordpress as well. So this one is by ServerPress. Pro is it's free. The free version, they have a free and paid version like the others, and so that's always nice. If you wanna get started, you're only working on one site or a couple sites, you wanna just try it out without paying for it. You can try the free one and you get a whole bunch of features. It really comes only a few features you have to pay for. Usually with desktop server, what you have to pay for is to get more than three sites. Desktop server has built-in local SSL. So that one's great for any time you wanna test something that requires, you wanna check that like HTTPS works. Local SSL is fantastic for that and really, really necessary. It auto-installs WordPress. That one's clutch, so it's just one click. You choose that you wanna use that and it will auto-install the WordPress site for you. It does have some cons. The free version is limited to three sites. You can't change the PHP version. Technically, that's true. You can hack it to different PHP versions but it's not built-in, like it's got a PHP version that it's set to and that's what it sticks with unless you go in there and you're changing the configurations.  Again, so far all I've done on this is installed the software. That was it. Didn't do any extra setup, so setup is really easy. First thing is it asks, do you wanna restart desktop server with privileges?  If you're on Windows, that depends on whether you have set up the security feature where you have to approve things by an admin. But then you can start the features. It's got a couple of really cool things that they built specifically for themselves, which is an admin color bar. I actually really like this one. If I'm working on testing something locally and I've got the live site is I can have two tabs or just side by side of working on a site and I test it on my local server, test it on the live one. And this changes the admin color bar at the top so you can change it. It'll be a different color than the WordPress one, which is really nice because if you're looking really quick and you're doing it back and forth several times, your brain might start to mix them up and you forget like, oh, which one's local, which one's the right one? So with having different colors, it's just a nice cue. They have an airplane mode so that anything that relies on being online, it'll stop those functions so that you don't start getting errors because you're disconnected from something. You've got a database archive. You've got debug and trace is a huge one when you are fixing a broken site. You can turn on debug mode on a live site. Problem with that is that also can give away to anybody who might be malicious. If you put on debug mode live and somebody can see like, oh, there's this error. They might be able to exploit that error. So having a debug and trace to find the errors on local are really nice. It has CLI. So anyone who's using the command line interface for WordPress and knows just how incredibly fast you can do things with WP CLI will love this feature. It's amazing. Sean Hooper is not here this week, but he's an Ottawa guy who gives a talk on CLI several times a year and he can show you how you can do pretty much everything in a WordPress site like 10 times faster just by using CLI. And again, it's got that local SSL. So when you start it up for the first time, it's gonna run through the start the services and then it'll say done and then you just click next. And if you have a website, it will give you the option in the middle, which is remove or copy or move any of those sites.  And so you've got created development site. And so this is where it's nice. You get to choose whatever domain name you want for it because it's gonna use .dev.cc. Everyone used to use .dev, then Google decided to buy it because they're Google and they can do whatever they want. And so .dev is no longer a safe one to have because that is potentially an actual real site. So you're gonna run into all sorts of DNS issues if you try that. So they switched over to .dev.cc but you can change it to whatever you want such as go raptors.dev.cc. Eight o'clock tomorrow night, everyone watch. They're gonna win game, the next game because Golden State Warriors are overrated. And so the one thing about this is right now it's on the latest version of WordPress but one thing with desktop service does come with whatever version is like at the time that they put out the version of desktop server and so it can start to get outdated. So one thing to keep in mind is when you choose that you're probably gonna need to update the site as soon as you've started up. Otherwise you may end up with an out of date version but you've also got the option. So if you choose the WordPress version it'll install the database, it'll install WordPress and you can just get started just like you're working on your live site where you've installed WordPress but it also has the blank option which is really nice if you wanna use something else. Like I do a lot of presentations where I use reveal.js and I actually use desktop server for that when I'm testing it out and so things like that anytime you're building a site that's non WordPress or you just wanna install directly from what you have like maybe you want an older version of WordPress you can choose the blank version and then it's gonna show you right there where your files are. That'll change depending on what person it is. You can choose different places so if you wanna drop your website somewhere else you can do that. And one thing I like to do with that is sometimes I will drop it in my Dropbox so that way it's just automatically adding a backup same with iCloud or Google Drive. You can drop it right in there and that way your files are just automatically being backed up to the cloud as you work on them. So then when you just hit create it runs through this thing and then it's going to tell you that your website is ready to go. So this one has a few more steps and so right now there's nothing there because I chose the do not install WordPress versions because I didn't feel like going through the whole thing but other than that when you're done with that it'll just give you the option to remove a website again you can stop the services which is what I'm gonna do because I have one more to show up. So as you can see MAMP was definitely of the three that I'm showing today. MAMP was the most difficult to work with in terms of like technical stuff. Desktop has the most number of options which can be seen as a plus or minus. The one minus of that is that you have to go through like several steps to get your WordPress site set up. So the other option to talk about is local by flywheel. So this one is by a hosting company which makes it a little bit unique and it does have an extra feature in that it's connected to flywheel. So if you're a flywheel customer this may be the best option for you but again local by flywheel is free and you can change the PHP version. You can also switch between engine X and Apache. So depending on what engine you wanna use for your site and you can change your MySQL version. So that's super nice. This really gives you a nice like graphical interface but it gives you a lot of flexibility. So you can really try and match your live server. And these ones right here the PHP versions that gives you the MySQL versions and jumping between engine X and Apache you can match pretty much most like every of the main hosting companies you can match whatever your live server has. So if your live server has PHP 7.1 you can change that if it's running engine X you can change that. And same with like the MySQL version if they're on 5.5 you can move these around. That's really nice and that's really clutch if you have a site where there's a potential that what you're working on locally might not work in the live site if you can match it like you can with flywheel it's really just it eases you because you know that like yep you've got the same software behind the scenes running it so when you push it to live nothing's gonna break on you, hopefully. I always say hopefully because I can't say nothing's gonna break on you. WordPress is always fun like that. Actually that's all web development. Something works fine for six months you test it over and over thank you. And then you push live and something breaks. So I don't wanna make any promises. The one thing about local by flywheel is it uses virtual box. The one somewhat annoying thing with running that is that if you try and run multiple sites there's a potential that you're gonna overload your computer because that can get really resource heavy really quick. If you're running like an eight core processor and like 16 or 32 gigs of RAM have at it have open up 10 sites you should be good. Local by flywheel, I don't wanna disparage anyone but it's been known to be not stable. It'll work fine like you started up 10 times in a row and it works fine and then on number 11 it might not work. And all you have to do is just reinstall it. The problem with that is you're losing time and if you need it in a crunch like you're about to show somebody like present the website there's a chance it may not run. It's been a while since that happened to me where I opened up local by flywheel in it and it just didn't run but it happens and it's kind of a known thing. You'll see it on Twitter a lot but everyone loves to complain on Twitter so I only kind of take that for what it is. So the last, that's the last one I'm actually gonna show you. And so this is what the startup process again this is what it'll look like right when you've installed local so right now it's starting the local machine it's starting virtual box so this one takes a little bit longer to actually start up but it's the easiest to set up. So I find it is, oh this would be ironic if this was the time it doesn't start too. Sorry to question whether it's gonna do that. Yeah, I don't have any others running. This could be my fault because I'm, oh there we go. I can say it because I'm jumping between local servers so I might have just overloaded it a little bit. So real quick you've got super easy you don't have a site there so it'll just tell you straight up. There are a couple things here this is where you connect it to Flywheel so if you've got a Flywheel hosting account you can like pull and push back between that which is really nice. And so they've got a couple of add-ons I'm not connected to the internet right now so I don't have the options. They aren't really anything that I've ever used anyway. There's only like two add-ons last I checked but it's super easy create a new site you can just choose the name so go Bruins. And so it gives you a couple of options and advanced options but you don't have to use them. So that's like for example you can change the domain. By default local uses dot local because that one's also currently not a top-level domain. I would not count on that though because that seems like something that somebody is gonna start selling dot local. So don't plan everything based around that but they'll also let you know because when everyone had to switch from using dot dev it was fairly painless. They created things in there. You can just like the just like desktop server you can choose where your files go and you can use a blueprint. In this case it's a little bit different. You can actually, you can create blueprints which is nice too. So if you are repeatedly spinning up similar sites you can use that within local which is really nice. So you've got this option which is the preferred which is just their default and they're defaulting to PHP 7.2.9 and they are using by default Nginx. They are using varnish cache. So that's one thing to keep an eye out for. Super easy to clear out though. And MySQL 5.7. It does give you all these options though which is super nice. It goes all the way down to PHP 5.2. Please don't build a site on 5.2 because you are so gonna be hacked. And so it lets you choose all the way up to 7.2. I believe it'll do 7.2.9 is like the default. So 7.2.0 is the lowest. So they don't have 7.3 on there yet. But you can jump between Nginx and Apache which is really nice because if you're running Nginx most of these other local ones are only gonna run Apache. And so to be able to have that just so you can duplicate it and say for sure, that's so nice. And then you've got MySQL 5.6 and 5.5 has available options for custom. It's gonna default to 5.7. This is where it gets super easy right away. So rather than you having to go through the normal WordPress install page like you normally do anytime you install WordPress you can totally just create this and don't use the username admin when actually creating a site. And also I use the password admin. But this is local so I'm not ever gonna put this online. Nobody can ever access it. But those are just a couple things to keep in mind. Always use a very strong secure password. Don't use any words in it and never use the username admin because that's the number one that bots are always trying to hack. You can set up a WordPress multi-site install for both sub-directory and sub-domain. So this one is really nice and you can also do that in desktop server. I forgot to mention that that you can set up multi-site which is really convenient. I believe multi-site only works in the pro version of desktop server. They're both like $100 a year for MAMP Pro and desktop server so it's not too bad. But this is what you get once you've created the site. It gives you all this information which is really nice. None of the others make it quite this easy. It shows you your PHP version. It gives you the ability to change. So if you've started on one version of PHP, you can actually change it while you're working on the site and then you just restart it. That's super nice. Nobody else does that. And so that is, it's not gonna let me do that right now. But yeah, so that's a really nice option. And then very quickly, you've got access to your database. They use Adminer and so that's just a really easy way to manage your database. You've got again the local SSL which is nice and you've got MailHog. So this lets you, if you're doing something that sends emails, this actually lets you check those so that way you can see like did the email actually send. That's great when you're dealing with like WooCommerce sites where you need to make sure that all those emails go out properly. And then when you click Admin, it will just bring you right to the login. And so as you saw, I didn't have to actually like create anything on the site. It's just there. So that is it for local by flywheel. So really that's a real quick, just gonna mention Docker is like the pro version to use. Docker is fantastic because you can actually perfectly match pretty much any server you want. It does require a lot of setup. So this is one, the reason I'm not showing this, this is one like if you're like a high-end dev, you're building stuff that needs really custom, you can run multiple containers easily. So if you're using something that is using endpoints, Docker is great for that because you can run both ends of whatever software you're setting up. It's difficult to set up and it is unstable at times. Mostly it'll just, it'll overload the site or overload your server depending on what you've got going on. But that's really anytime you're running multiple things. So not really gonna talk much about Docker, but check it out. If you're looking for something that's more robust than those ones. I think I only have like one minute for questions. Do I have any questions? Yes. Option for local development. So for Linux there are, I believe desktop server, I don't know that they've put it out yet. They have been working on a Linux version. Yeah, last I knew they were, at least it was discussed. I don't know what the status is on that. Really on Linux, I like to use Vagrant personally. Yeah, just because in Vagrant, I find, or in Linux, I find that that's the best option. Usually when I'm doing local development, if I'm using a Linux server, it's usually an external one. So I'm actually running it as an Ubuntu server. So I find that works best is just to run Ubuntu server when you're working locally. That's just really nice. Yeah, any other questions? All right. Well, thank you very much. I'll be hanging around all day. If you think of any more, just tweet me at Nick Adams TV and use the WC Hamont for the hashtag. And I'll keep an eye out.


U.S. Senator calls for bombing positions inside Iran. U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham is urging the Biden administration to blow parts of Iran off the map. He has called for retaliatory attacks and criticized Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin for not setting clear red lines for such actions. His comments follow increased attacks by Iran-backed militias on U.S. troops in the region. The South Carolina Republican said he told Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin not to show weakness and make clear what the U.S. red lines for a retaliatory attack are. Without Iran, there are no Houthis. Graham told Fox News. The Houthis are completely backed by Iran. I have been saying for six months now, hit Iran. They have oil fields out in the open. They have the Revolutionary Guard headquarters you can see from space. Blow it off the map. He continued, If you really want to protect American soldiers, make it real to the Ayatollah that if you attack a soldier through a proxy, we're coming after you. Graham's comments follow attacks by Iran-backed militias on U.S. troops in the region, which have stepped up. There have been more than 100 attacks on troops in Iraq and Syria this year. The controversial statement has raised concerns about potential nuclear proliferation and added to geopolitical tensions. Iran's substantial active military strength of 610,000 soldiers further heightens the situation. Senator Graham's comment is likely to face criticism from those advocating for diplomatic solutions and could potentially escalate the rhetoric surrounding the U.S.-Iran relationship.


Hey guys. All right, so we're at a funny angle because I'm filming with my phone. So I shared a little while ago that I made this little box of mixed media collage recipes. These cards and the prompts on the cards are from Margaret Miller's website. I'll link it down below. But after I created them, I thought, you know, I could very easily add to this or create a second box of these because my dear friend and fellow YouTuber, Mike Deakin, has his monthly mission inspirations on his website. These are from 2016. I printed them off of his Facebook group. And they're very similar to Margaret's. And there are plenty of times where I want to make a journal page. And maybe I have a theme in mind, but I'm just at a loss for how to get started. Once I get started, I'm fine. And sometimes it's just nice to just look at some kind of a prompt list of ingredients, if you will. This one here is from January 2016. It says apply pattern, paper or tissue, cover with the same coat of gesso, use two rubber stamps, add torn strips of book text. You get the idea. Like it just gives you like a place to start. I love that idea. Yes, I do plenty of stuff on my own, but it's nice to just not have to think about it sometimes. So I'm going to take his prompts, and I'm going to turn them into more recipe cards. I may need to create a second box because, you know, I think this one's already kind of full. But I use these craft card tags. These are from Michaels. They are recollections tags. They're 1.6 inches by 3.25 inches, or four centimeters by 8.2 centimeters. They come in a pack of 25. And the product code on the back is this here. In case you want to see if you can find them at your Michael's store or online. Okay. So, all right. First thing to do is print them on a size that will fit on the tag, and then cut them out. So I am going to do that. And then I'm going to get them glued up and I'll be back. I really like this. I did email Mike to ask him if he had files with just these images on them that I could get. Otherwise, you have to go to the Facebook group and they are available in the photo albums. And there's one album for each month of mission inspiration since he started them in 2016. So you can go into, say, January 2016, download the mission, February, March, April. You get the idea. And make a file, print them. Now I did print these six to a page so that they would fit on the cards that I'm using. But you could print them any size, whatever works for you. The boxes, as you saw, are made out of product packaging. Just leftover product packaging. This is a lemon scented soap and this is lemonade. I think there's a theme there, maybe. I will put Mike Deegan's YouTube channel and Facebook group down below and Margaret Miller's website, which is where these ones are from. And I hope it gives you some idea of what you can do. You can, of course, do the missions and save them and put them in your journal, which I do do. But what if you maybe want to refer to it later? You get stuck. You want to create. You don't want to just, you just don't want to think. You just want to make something. You can pull out one of these little recipe cards from a past mission and just follow the prompts on the card. I think it's a great idea. Anyway, what do you think? All right, that's it for now. I'll be back.


High beams the girl driving the old blue sedan was a senior at the high school She lived on a farm about eight miles away and used the car to drive back and forth She had driven into town that night to see a basketball game. Now. She was on her way home As she pulled away from the school She noticed a red pickup truck follow her out of the parking lot a few minutes later The truck was still behind her I guess we're going in the same direction. She thought She began to watch the truck in her mirror When she changed her speed the driver and the truck changed his speed When she passed the car, so did he Then he turned on his high beams Flooding her car with light. He left them on for almost a minute He probably wants to pass me. She thought but she was becoming uneasy Usually she drove home over a back road not too many people went that way But when she turned on to that road So did the truck I've got to get away from him. She thought and she began to drive faster Then he turned his high beams on again after a minute.  She wondered what does he want? Then he turned them off again But a minute later he had them on again and he left them At last she pulled into a driveway and the truck pulled in right behind her She jumped from the car and ran to the house call the police. She screamed at her father out in the driveway She could see the driver of the truck. He had a gun in his hand When the police arrived they started to arrest him, but he pointed to the girl's car. You don't want me He said you want him Crouched behind the driver's seat. There was a man with a knife As the driver of the truck explained it the man slipped into the girl's car just before she left the school He saw it happen, but there was no way he could stop it He thought about getting the police, but he was afraid to leave her so he followed her car Each time the man in the back seat reached up to overpower her the driver of the truck turned on his high beams Then the man dropped down Afraid that someone might see him


Hello all, in this video we are going to see about plagiarism. In this video I am going to answer 7 frequently asked questions in order to understand plagiarism. So why I made this video is, in my previous video of plagiarism I have mentioned a few tricks to reduce plagiarism in word document. People have given immense response to that video. Many people have appreciated that video and gave positive comments. And some people started abusing without understanding what is plagiarism. And many went a step ahead and started abusing my country even. I am here to make this video in order to make you understand about what is plagiarism. Throw the 7 commonly asked questions. So these are the questions which I am going to answer in this presentation. So first, what are the types of plagiarism? Everybody thinks cut copy paste is plagiarism. Yes, cut copy paste is a plagiarism type. Before going to the types of plagiarism we should understand what is plagiarism. Plagiarize in letting means to kidnap. That is, you take away somebody's content, ideas, thoughts, a language without their permission. In research, you don't need a permission. But you need to cite whenever you take ideas, contents, thoughts and language. So the most common type is the complete plagiarism.  You take somebody's article and you replace it with your name, your institution and your details. Submit it to the next journal. This is called complete plagiarism. And verbatim plagiarism. That is, you take a segment from that article and mix up. There are various types of plagiarism. But the basic is same. That is, you take somebody's content and you don't cite it. That comes under plagiarism. Then we have paraphrasing plagiarism. That is, we change the words here and there into some other words through English dictionary. That type of plagiarism is called paraphrasing plagiarism. And we have mosaic plagiarism. We have self plagiarism that is taking our own article and submitting it to a different journal. Incorrect citation. Whenever we don't cite properly, that also comes under plagiarism. And these are all the common types of plagiarism. But the basis is same. That is, you are using somebody's ideas, thoughts, content and language without citing the reference. So the second question. Will plagiarism detector flag when you cite or quote a text? Yes. Plagiarism detector flags cited and quoted content also. Human discretion is needed to allow or reject that content which is flagged by plagiarism detector. But sadly, most of the journals and universities does not have this human discretion model. So they just look at the numbers. So how they arrive in this numbers is by matching the words and matching the order of the words with the available literature through the internet sources. Are the plagiarism checker tools working the same way? Plagiarism checkers differs in their methods for screening the plagiarism. Their cut-off values are different. That is, some softwares allow up to 5%. Some allow up to 10%. Some allow even up to 25%. And the access to the databases will be limited. In general, the online website based plagiarism checkers are not so rigorous. But the software tools which you download will be more rigorous and it will flag plagiarism more. The tip here is to go with the specific checker with your university or with your journal. Will documents made out of own words and ideas have plagiarism? Documents which is made out of own words will not have plagiarism. But plagiarism checkers can match to some available phrase or content. Especially when you are using definitions from the internet and it may show some amount of plagiarism. But plagiarism checkers always set a limit. Only above that limit that is about a certain percentage. Usually it will be 10%. Then it will flag it as plagiarism. Below that level it will be acceptable. Ideally plagiarism checker tools should have a different allowable plagiarism limit. That is it should be maximum for review of literature and minimal for results. Are plagiarism detectors easy to cheat? The answer here is. Tricks trying to cheat the system such as using macros, altering characters or employing other tricks to bypass the automated systems are available in the internet. You can type the name of the software, hacking tricks in YouTube and you will get enormous tricks. However, many tricks are outdated and ineffective. Plagiarism checkers softwares are continuously monitoring those tricks and adjusting their softwares for those tricks. Beyond all these things way of deceiving these plagiarism detectors is not advisable. The next question is will plagiarism checkers ensure quality research? Plagiarism checkers will ensure quality research. Here but we have to keep in mind plagiarism checkers alone will not ensure quality research. We have to remember the fact that plagiarism checkers are checking only on the end products of the research. Only quality checks in individual processes of research will make quality research. The last question. What are the consequences of plagiarism? The consequences of the plagiarism depends on type of plagiarism, amount of plagiarism, institutional regulations, legislation of the country. If a journal finds that your article is plagiarized, then they will do this retraction from that journal. Institutional regulations may demand loss of your job. Legislations of the country may demand imprisonment and fine. To summarize what is plagiarism? Plagiarism is not a crime. If it is a crime it should not be allowed even 1% in any research article. It is actually an error to be avoided or to be reduced. Always use your own words. Researchers when writing a research article the language where they are not proficient with then they tend to take the same words of the author and forget to cite it. Then they land up in plagiarism. So the third important thing is cite everything you write in your research. Thanks for watching this video.


Days and memories is a time of reflection. More than 70 years after the Holocaust, service members and members of the Naples community paid tribute to those affected. It's really important to establish what happened and make it something real and something tangible for the current generation and future generations. It's really important that we honor people's memory and honor what happened so that we can help prevent it from happening again. Gas speaker Stephanie Pavoni says we should learn from the past. You might just be one person, but your words can affect the treatment of others, so don't always just stand back and be a bystander. You need to speak out. Though the number of firsthand victims is decreasing, commemorating this time in history is significant for communities around the world. Petty Officer Emily Williams, Naples, Italy. Again, thank you for joining us and honoring and remembering.


Welcome to Think Tech on Spectrum OC16, Hawaii's weekly newscast on things that matter to tech and to Hawaii. I'm Nicole Horie. And I'm Elise Anderson. In our show this time, we'll review the most recent Top 5 Think Tech Talk Shows and the staff pick. We'll check out the elements of the best of the best and get a handle on the public issues and guests involved. Think Tech produces some 30 talk shows every week in our downtown studio. Here's a list of all our incredible Think Tech Shows and hosts. Every week, Think Tech chooses its Top 5 Think Tech Talk Shows from the week before, based on the number of views each of them has had on the internet. For this past week, the winning shows were as follows. Number one. From the series Hawaii Together, it's called The Future of Waianae, hosted by Kelea Keena with guest Jermaine Myers, Native Hawaiian community leader. It's on our Hawaii Together playlist. I think that a lot of people when they think of the Waianae Coast, especially parts that are densely populated with Native Hawaiians. And by the way, the Waianae Coast is the most concentrated and densely populated Native Hawaiian population in the world. A lot of times, people have a great many misconceptions. And part of the reason is they've just not been out there. And part of the reason is that as Waianae has changed with some of the challenges it faces, it gets a bad rap often. What are some of those misconceptions that you come across? And what's the truth? Well, there's a lot of misconceptions. Some of them are true that there were some types of crime, but crime was everywhere. Of course, there's drug issues and drug issues are everywhere, even on the other kawaii kai and kane ohe. I feel the most safest when I'm at home in Nanakuni. And along the West Coast, I have never felt unsafe. So there's a misconception that every person that you meet, there's a lot of general statements that everyone or people that you meet at the beach or in the stores, you know, they'll do something to you negatively. And that's not true. You know, one of the things I found germane in the many years I lived on the coast, and I used to live in Makaha and in Waianae proper. It really doesn't matter what the color of your skin is. It really doesn't matter what your ethnic background is. It's a place where people respond to you based on your heart.  But if you're not a native Hawaiian and you act from the heart, I think people pick up on that a lot. Well, three of my grandparents are native Hawaiian, 100%. But you know, one of my tutus are actually 100% German. And so I'm German Hawaiian descent. And my grandfather, who is German, was actually an engineer for the railroad. And he was the engineer for the railroad going around the island.   It's also tremendously integrated with other racial backgrounds. And it's almost as if most of us Hawaiians out there are mostly something else, too. Yes.  I am. I'm not going to separate myself, defragment myself because of my German heritage. I love my tutu. His garden was filled. It was like a garden of Eden.  And of course, lots of different varieties of mango trees. He had, he said, if they could not provide food for your body or for your healing, like medicinal, they didn't belong in his garden. So he had all kinds of stuff when I was growing up. And that's what all memories that I have of my teacher. Sure. You know, one of the misconceptions about the Waianae Coast and about the Hawaiian people in general is that we all have the same political leaning that we're all fighting for our independence and separation from the United States of America. Number two from the series, Finding Respect in the Chaos. It's called changing our approach to gender based violence hosted by Cynthia Lee Sinclair with guest Chelsea Stewart of the Domestic Violence Action Center at UH Manoa. It's on our finding respect in the chaos playlist. Domestic violence or DV for short, it's it's a very broad definition because there's different types of abuse there. Most people assume domestic violence to be just physical one person beating their partner, intimate partner. But there's actually a lot more to that. And a lot of people aren't aware about their domestic violence can be emotional, psychological, sexual, and even financial abuse as well. Domestic Violence Action Center, the agency I worked for actually began in 1990. Our original name was the Clearing House. But we started out as an organization with two people and now we have a staff of over 50. Wow. And it was Nancy Kregman, right? Is that who started it? Yes. Surrounder, right? Nancy Kregman. Yes. Nice. Do you have any statistics for us of what kind of statistics we're looking at here? So it's very difficult to get statistics mainly because a lot of times domestic violence is under reported. What I can say, I can only get statistics off of the national database. The general statistics that we always use is in person's lifetime, one out of three women and one out of every four men will experience domestic violence on some level. In Hawaii, what we do know is that the rates are a lot higher for the Asian and Pacific island communities. Wow. Those are some staggering statistics. They are. Okay. So tell us what kind of stuff you guys do at DVAC. Is that what you call it DVAC? Instead of Domestic Violence Actions Center? Yeah, it's a head-on mouthful. So DVAC for short is okay. Okay. Yeah. What kind of stuff do you guys do? What kind of programs do you have? What do you guys do with that? We have a lot of advocacy programs and our main goal is to educate and intervene. We have a legal team where we have a group of attorneys that specialize in what we call a DV law, so family law, family court, for example. So we have attorneys that represent clients in their TRO cases, paternity, divorce, and post-degree cases. We also have various types of advocacy divisions. We have actually an advocacy group that specializes in parenting. So they help deal with domestic violence, victims, and survivors that bridge the gap between them and with their kids. Right. Because it's so important that we get these kids taught at an early age to be respectful instead of waiting until after the fact and then trying to retrain them. Let's teach them right the first time, right? Exactly. And that's our goal is to help the families in general, especially the survivors who connect with their children. We also have a support group called Hawaii Kaika. It's a nine-month three-phase program. Number three. From the series Out of the Comfort Zone, it's called Texting to Save Lives, hosted by RB Kelly with Katie Kopeski, volunteer crisis counselor. It's on the Out of the Comfort Zone playlist. The crisis text line is collecting data. What kind of data are they collecting and why? Yeah, so basically think about every conversation that we're having. It's about 40 messages interchange. That's all usable, interesting data that we can give back to the public. So I can tell you things like 75% of our textures are under the age of 25. I can tell you that only 58% of them identify as straight. I can tell you that our top issues are depression, anxiety, self-harm. So that's nationwide. That's interesting information for us to know kind of as a big snapshot. But for Hawaii, we over-index in issues surrounding the military, issues like physical abuse. So that's really interesting for local policymakers, for administrators. We can look specifically at Hawaii data and let's say I was a principal and I was concerned about eating disorders in my school. So I can look specifically at that topic and I can see that Sundays is the day that people text in most about eating disorders and I can say, huh, well, I'm going to have a school assembly on Fridays about eating disorders and let's see if that changes or drops off. So this is meant to be actionable data for people to try to curb these icky things that are happening state and nationwide.  No, it's just from this age group, this percent of people seem to be struggling with eating disorders. So here's a way you can use the data and actually help people. Absolutely. Yes. So we don't, you're absolutely right. So we're looking, if you want to get technical, we're looking at aggregate data, right? So it's stripped down of any of that personally identifiable information and just to further clarify that. So when I get a text message, it's like anonymous 235, so I never see anybody's name or where they're from or anything like that. And so all the data is just really percentages that people can look at at crisis trends.org. So that's separate from crisis text line, which is where we're talking about our service, but crisis trends.org is where people can get access to that data. Interesting. Can you tell me anything else about the trends here in Hawaii? We've had 5,000 textures since we've launched. And like I said, we have 33 active crisis counselors. That's about all I really know to be honest with you, RV. Number four from the series research in Manoa. It's called finding ancient meteorites with host Pete McGinnis-Mark and guest Carolyn Kaplan, graduate student at the Hawaii Institute of Geophysics and Planetology at UH Manoa. It's on our research in Manoa playlist. The exciting thing about looking at ancient meteorites is that it's a time that no one's been able to look at before. Like right now, all the meteorites that we're studying are from a couple hundred years ago, but being able to look at these meteorites in limestone gives us a whole new view about what's going on out there. So if we're able to open up these windows, we might be able to understand what collisions might have been going on, how like impacts might have affected evolution over time. So I think what we should tell the viewers in part is that not all meteorites are the same, are they? No. And while they come from the asteroid belt, they might be from completely different places in the solar system, right? And so am I correct in thinking what you're trying to do is almost a detective story? Yes. Do we get meteorites from the same part of the asteroid belt today as the time periods you're studying? Yeah. So that's something I'll talk about with comparing different work from other people with their own time periods. But we're finding that things are a little different depending on what time period you're looking at. Okay. Well, let's get more into the science and then take a look at the next image. And before we start talking about some of the results, this gives me a hint. This looks really impressive. This is one of the machines you use for your research. Yes, it is. This is a... What is this? It's a kameka instrument that we actually use to understand and figure out the oxygen isotopes that are in our samples. So the oxygen isotopes can help tell us if the sample is from Earth or not and what type of meteorite it came from. Okay. And that is all one piece of equipment of the entire slide. Yeah. So it makes a little upside down U-shape or like an N-shape with the user in the front. And it uses magnets to help differentiate the different types of isotopes. And it's really fascinating. You can get... You can look at really big samples relatively about an inch in size or you can look at really, really small grains like what I look at. Right. And the isotopic composition at the first order will tell you a little bit about whether the sample comes from Earth or it comes from the moon or elsewhere in the solar system. But it must be great to be able to work on some piece of equipment like that. Offline, you told me also with Hopi-shi on this transmission electron microscope, cutting edge kinds of equipment for our graduate students. That must be really exciting stuff. Yeah, it's really exciting because you, as a graduate student when you first start out, you don't really know what's going to happen or what you're going to work on. Number five. From the series Seymour's World, it's called Physical Therapy, the elixir for joint pain hosted by Seymour Kazomirski with guests Reina Hawkins and Chris Kodowski, physical therapists. It's on our Seymour's World playlist. So first, Reina, we're going to start with you. Okay. Tell us a little bit about your practice. Well, we've got four physical therapists and we're all licensed PT's so we don't use aids or assistance and two massage therapists. And all of us are pretty much trained in Pilates, mild fascial decompression, which is the cupping, kinesiotae, a number of manual therapy techniques. And I've had most of that. Yes, probably all of that. Including, I remember when I was, when I was recovering from my double knee surgery, you had me in the hallway with bands around my feet running up and down the hallway and doing all that stuff sweating.  You loved it, you loved it.  And I did, thanks to you. So tell me a little bit about your theory. Your theory is that if a patient comes in to see you, do you do what the orthopedic surgeon says or do you have your own protocol? Well, of course, we follow the general protocol of their surgery because, you know, they have pretty general guidelines. I get one month, you're supposed to be doing this two months. But of course, I pushed you because I knew you could handle it, but within safe guidelines. So first you need to get full range of motion, right? So some people just have you stretch. But of course, I do a lot of manual because if I don't do that, it's going to take a lot longer. So we do a lot of massage, fascial stretching, fascial release, stuff like that. Push a lot of the swelling out because a lot of times you don't have full range of motion because there's so much swelling in the joint. So that's your biggest factor. And once that's all gone, then strengthen you within your protocol. So can people come to East Oahu, East Oahu physical therapy by themselves or must they be referred? If they come by themselves, they have to pay cash. If they come with a referral, then their insurance covers pretty much 90% of it.  Chris, how did you treat this? Well, one of the biggest ideologies that I've kind of uncovered while I've been helping people with muscular injuries is that human beings are machines, but we are a little bit more like a web. We also have a staff pick. This time it's from the series Hispanic Hawaii, and it's called Staff Domestic Violence Awareness, hosted by Richard Concepcion with guest Charito Rivera. It's on our Hispanic Hawaii playlist. The long-term effect, whether there's a child or not, I mean for us as an adult, you get into a relationship at 20 years old and that's the only type of relationship you know. You're going to carry it on to your 30s and 40s and 50s if you don't lose something about it. And the worst part is it could turn deadly. And we're going to talk about that, the cycle of abuse. Okay. As I mentioned, it could turn deadly. If it doesn't get, you don't get help right away, it could just escalate. And if we could look at that picture there, so you can see in the beginning of the relationship, we all go through that honeymoon period. Everything is good, you know, and then we learn more about the person, things we don't like about the person. In a healthy relationship, we're able to communicate and say, you know, I noticed you did this and you know, can we talk about it? And compromise on something. And then there's apologies and promises going to happen again, and it won't happen again in a healthy relationship. In an unhealthy relationship, abusive relationship, however, there's a promise that maybe there's no more alcohol in the house or there's no more drugs. But that promise gets broken. And then tensions build up.  And other person's like, well, who are you to tell me I'm an adult? And then the explosion happens. And then there's apologies again, like I'm not going to do it anymore. Or sometimes the perpetrator even says, well, you made me drink or you made me do it. Statistically, it takes about seven times for the victim to actually leave the abusive relationship. Seven times. Seven times going through the cycle. Yes. And I'm talking about also leaving the relationship, not just getting out of that cycle, because they may think that they're getting out of the cycle by, you know what, I'm going to speak up for myself, but for the sake of the kids, they stay. So how can you prevent this? Good question. I would say it starts with us, ourselves. So if you are in an abusive relationship, how do you prevent it?

Hawaii took the long route to increasing consumer choice at the airport, but finally we've arrived there, or at least we're getting there. After a lengthy negotiation, the state has granted Uber and Lyft permission to pick up passengers from two designated areas at Inouye International Airport. Now for travelers frustrated by long lines and lack of options, the absence of the two popular ride-sharing companies was very confusing. Why limit a transportation option at a major vacation destination when other airports are doing it all the time? Well, the answer comes down to regulation. Because taxi companies in Hawaii are heavily regulated, they protested, and probably rightly so, the fact that Uber and Lyft were not forced to compete on the same playing field. The best solution from a free market perspective would be to reexamine and ease the regulatory burden on cab companies as well. But the state went a different route, often spread red tape around a bit more. So like taxi drivers, Uber and Lyft drivers will have to pay for the privilege of picking up airport passengers. The pilot program requires the ride-shared drivers to pay 7% of each fare to the Department of Transportation at the airport's division. But ride-shared drivers are still not allowed to solicit customers, and they cannot wait at the airport. They're limited to prearranged pickups only. Uber estimates that a ride from the airport to downtown will cost about $17 to Waikiki about $24, and to Kapolei it'll run about $36. Well, more competition does mean that customers should benefit from shorter waits at the airport. And while this is a trial program for now, if things go well, the temporary three-month permit could become permanent. It's at least an important first step toward increasing consumer choice, along with creating new jobs and opportunities in Hawaii. However, we shouldn't forget the fact that the state regulations load availability of ride-sharing in the first place. And the reality is this, if Hawaii wants to remain economically competitive, we should be looking for ways to decrease state involvement in the market, both for cabs and for ride-sharer vehicles, and not weigh everyone down equally. But that's probably good enough for now. I'm Kaley Akina, wishing you aloha. We'll be right back to wrap up this week's edition of ThinkTech. But first, we want to thank our underwriters.
