Russia wants to remove Zelensky from power before end of year. President Volodymyr Zelensky said that Russia wants to remove him from the post of President of Ukraine by the end of 2023 for which it has come up with a destabilization plan codenamed Medan-3. He said this in an interview with UK Tabloid The Sun. The last information is that there is a plan they want very much and the name of the operation is Medan-3. It means to change the president of Ukraine. Maybe it is not by killing. They will use any instruments they have. The idea is to launch a new operation that even has a name by the end of this year. You know, we can live with it, Zelensky said. On the 16th of November, Volodymyr Zelensky told a group of journalists that the Kremlin was seeking to split Ukrainian society, wreak havoc inside the country and ultimately overthrow the president. This report indicated that Russia refers to this plan as Medan-3. Deputy Chairman of the Security Council of Russia Dmitry Medvedev called Zelensky's words about Medan-3 recognition of Kiev in coup d'etat. He also drew attention to the very name of the campaign allegedly developed by the Kremlin. Medvedev ironically noted that Zelensky confused all the cards of Russia and exposed its plan for his removal.


Hello. Hello, everyone. How's everyone doing today? I am very excited. This is my first time in LA and my first time ever speaking at a conference. So we're going to help for the best. Let's deal with my name is Rachel Sheik. I use she her pronouns. I'm a software engineer at Twitter where I work on all Twitter's live audio and video services. Most notably our product Twitter Spaces, which is sort of a conversational approach to social media where you can as a host invite some speakers in and have a bunch of listeners as your audience and just talk about whatever you want. You can find me on Twitter at Rachel Sheik. And without further ado, let's jump into how today's talk is going to work. I'm going to keep things fairly high level and accessible to all audiences. So we're going to cover what Movie Night is, what WebRTC is, how I used WebRTC, how I used Kubernetes, and some core learnings and takeaways that I learned throughout this project that you guys can take forward. If you ever want to follow in my footsteps, so let's kick it off. So what is Movie Night? Let me grab a drink of water real quick. So I really like movies and TV shows, as do most people, and I really enjoy watching them with friends and family. However, when we were quarantining at the beginning of the pandemic, it became really difficult to sync things up and get a watch party together. And it's always a hassle trying to sync things up over the phone where you're trying to like start in the middle of a show and everyone is trying to get to the right time stamp.  So I wanted to create something to solve this problem. If you've ever used Disney Plus, they have their new group watch feature, or if you use the Chrome extension Netflix Party, it's very similar to this where it's a distributed approach to concurrently streaming video across multiple peers. So yeah, so it's just something you can start up as a host, start up stream and then kick back and watch with your friends and they can join in whenever they want. So let's go over the core technology is to build this web RTC web, being that it can go across web clients. For the most part, you have your Chrome Firefox opera pretty seamless RTC stands for real time communication. And this is an open source framework developed by Google to enable peer to peer connections across different browsers. There are a few key terms we want to go over before we jump into really explaining how I use this technology, but something similar that I want to break off first is that a lot of you might be familiar with WebSocket. It's where you have client A, client B and a server in the middle and to be able to sync up client A and client B, client A has a WebSocket connection to the server and client B has a WebSocket connection to the server and client A is streaming to the server and the server is syncing up all the rest of the clients to it, which is great and it works a lot of the time. But between the latency of client A speaking to the server and the server having to push that data everyone else, you're looking at about at most a second of latency, which isn't great if you want to have a real time watch party. WebRTC however cuts out that server in the middle and just does a direct peer to peer connection, which has its limitations and we'll be going over them. So we want to have client A and client B talk to each other. So what do we want to do to get started? First, we're having these succession description protocols, which are just packets of metadata like your audio codec, your video codec and any other browser specific metadata points that client A needs to send to the server so that client B can also read it and sync into it. So client A will send an SDP offer and that will go live in a signaling server somewhere and client B will see that offer and send back its own SDP answer. So both of these clients have sent forward their metadata, they're syncing up together, everything's seamless. If you're on the same server or you're on the same device, group it up. This is all you need to establish that connection from client A to client B. However, if you want to move past that into the real world, we have firewalls and all these networking things to get through. So this is where interactive connectivity established from candidates come into play or ICE candidates. What ICE candidates are are a list of public-facing IP addresses and ports that each client generates so that other clients can connect to those public-facing ports and make the connection happen. What we do to programmatically figure out what's the best connection between point A and point B is we use a stunt server.  Google has a bunch of stunt servers that you can utilize in your projects where basically it'll take a look at candidates, figure out the best path in between, and then as soon as that path is established, you have a great way to just send data packets through. For the most part, this works. For Movie Night, this was it. But about 14% of the time, which is like your very large scale things like spaces, it doesn't always work. And so you'll have to go dive back a little bit into the web socket world where you'll have these things called turn servers. Turn servers are just publicly hosted servers that allow for the facilitation of passing data through it. So say you'll have a few clients in a restricted network that can't connect publicly to a stunt server with their ICE candidates. So they'll connect with web sockets directly to the turn server and send their data through, and then everyone else can publicly connect to that turn server using its own public ports and IP addresses to get the data via TCP or UDP, whichever is better. So it streamlines things a lot. So let's go over to how I use WebRTC. First, I used a generic example. WebRTC.org has a lot of great code samples. If you ever want to just get up and running, they had an example where you had two different clients on your same device. Start a webcam connection to each other. I took that. I created a singling server on Firebase, let both the clients sort of send their SDPs over to that and sort of start things off by connecting and then starting an RTC pure connection to send the video data through. This sort of removed any need for me setting up my own video server and just let me use the host as the server. Then I separated in two different laptops. So now I had to deal with the network. So now I just use one of those free Google Stun resources to go through the ICE candidates from each laptop and connect them over the network. And then so now we have essentially Zoom. And so to turn Zoom into a movie night session, I sort of cut off all of the peers, video streams, and I only had it running from the host. And so I've used OBS in the past to stream Twitch. A lot of people just use it to capture video on their device, whether it's from a screen, a window, or just like the whole display.  It's fairly simple. So this is how we create one single sort of watch party and movie night. Now here's where the Kubernetes partner comes in, because if you have one instance of the movie night session and you want to scale up, Kubernetes is a great way to do that. You're all at Kubernetes conference and you've heard a lot of Kubernetes talk, so I'll stay fairly high level and stick to how I used it. And one example of something I would have wanted to explore in the future. So I put all the single session logic into a Docker image back when Docker and Kubernetes played well together and put that into a pod. And thanks to the Kubernetes config, I was able to take advantage of horizontal load balancing with an auto scaler so that each time a new person wanted to join in and start their own movie night session, they were starting in a new pod. So one instance, one session. Something I wanted to explore if I had gone a little further is using instance recovery. So you have all these pods, all these people watching their shows, one person watching Squid Game crashes. But because we have all these STP metadata, so we have the timestamp where they died off and we have all the code information. We should be able to spin up a recovery pod, stick them back in there and start them at the exact same point. Something I didn't fully flush out, but I want to get to exploring if I ever touch back on this project. So let's recap it real quick and tie it all together. So first, you're going to build out a single WebRTC instance to stream a single movie night session and add it to a Docker image and add it to your pod.  And then after that, you're good to kick back, watch away, start your session, keep on rolling. So now the core learnings and takeaways. First thing I would have wanted to do was explore a different video streaming protocol slash approach to WebRTC. WebRTC is great if you want low latency for all of your video streaming. However, you do sacrifice things along the way to get low latency. If you've ever used a Zoom call or a Google Meet's call, you'll notice that video buffer sometimes or it's really low quality and the audio might chop some time. You're losing a lot of packets along the way just to make sure things are synced up in real time. However, when you're watching a 4K movie with people on your laptops with like all your nice retina displays and everything, you kind of want that quality back. So something I would have wanted to explore was instead of having the peers manage the video streaming, tie it into something like a turn server where I manage it and basically have only the primary host connect to that turn server and be communicating playback controls while the video playback is all taking place on the server and just streams out to all of the listeners or viewers via low latency HLS. Another thing I would have wanted to explore if I stuck with the WebRTC part was exploring bundled PDP P2P slash video streaming. This is something that Apple just sort of explored with their new FaceTime features where you can jump on a FaceTime call, be seeing people face to face, having a conversation and someone can start a video and everyone can tune into that video at the exact same point. This could have led into that with just a little few more tweaks, more so like capturing that video webcam instance that I had in my initial POC and then bundling out with the video. So that would be really cool to explore. The last point is playing around with different approaches to initial scaling. The way I architected it out, you had one instance or one session per instance. Something that would have been really cool to explore is exploring the aspect of like cable television to sort of streamline how video was played on the platform. So say you have 100 channels of all these different shows and TV shows so that if you had 50 people using 50 instances of moving night on the Kubernetes cluster and they're all watching Squid Game, you're cutting down on the duplication of data flowing through your platform. So just having a bunch of channels and having people tune into those channels whenever they wanted and if they're the only ones in there have access to playback controls. We really need to explore. But without further ado, that's it. Are there any questions? This is my dog, Hera. So we're going to do Q&A now and the way we're going to do this to make this easy for us is you yell out your question and I'll repeat it so the folks online can also see, can also hear. So yeah, let's go. Oh, in the back. So in the back, one of the attendees asked, what was your experience like debugging your WebRTC? Yeah, totally. So the reason that I started out building up a single session first instead of just lumping everything into Kubernetes and going full send was that along the way I was actually learning about things where you have to orchestrate the ordering of answers to your offers. And so I bottlenecked that at the client side and just sent out metrics so that whenever things went wrong, I had a local registry on my device that I could go and look at what was happening in the server. And that was super cool. And also the WebRTC community is just really amazing. They're almost as good as the communities community where they have a lot of resources for you to sort of ask around, learn how to do things. And so basically just setting up those metrics helped me orchestrate things and sort of bottlenecked them depending on who was connecting from which client. And that's how I solved it. Thank you. Oh, another question out in the back. So were you able to, you can read out the question kind of my brain. Sure. Yeah, so the question was, did I ever explore around with people sort of streaming in their own WebRTC connections to the video call and watching the movie along. Is that correct? Yep. Yeah.  And it's something I wanted to explore further. That was sort of my point on the sort of Apple FaceTime stuff where you could see the people you're watching with and still see the video. And that would just involve bundling that sort of webcam stream alongside the video stream and just putting it in your client further up in the corner. So the question was, did I use the turn server to sort of manage all of that and would all of this people sort of stream into the turn server. Yes. So the way the turn server work, it's not just client a and then everyone else pulls out. Actually, everyone has a bidirectional connection to that turn server so they can all send in data at the same time. And you just work straight in the turn server and just spit it back out to everyone. Thank you. Any more questions. Alrighty. Thank you everyone for attending. Thank you so much.

What he's done is last two you mentioned that start against Miami is last time out when he got through five unscathed But had problems in the six tonight had him again But important for people to remember he did allow just one run before leaving tonight Holder just allowed those two inherited runs runners. Let's hear from Lance Lynn Very strong through the first four would you feel like was working for you early on I think it was actually really good tonight And then you know I was able to just move the ball in and out and then start mixing some speeds and you know and then All went terrible just some bad luck there at the end and then Offense came back and bailed us out. We won the game. So it's good I mentioned the offense they struggled a little bit yesterday Obviously and you left down a couple runs, but still knowing some of the guys in that lineup Do you have confidence they're gonna find a way to battle back for you? Yeah, I mean I've I've seen it before where you know They get a couple a couple more looks at the guy and then they put some swings on getting the bullpen and then you know Make some guys pay. So they did it again, you know I think everyone would tell you that we want to score early and and not make it like that, but It's fun ending with that Nice you've competed against Neil plenty of times What's it like having him as a teammate? Good cuz I've seen that pitch to leave the yard against me a few times in the past. So You know, I'm happy to be over here Let's take a look at Lance Lynn's pitch breakdown as Jack mentioned heavy on the fastball We saw how effective in that highlight rip jacked it the two seamer was so very effective as a cut inside on the right handers


Hi, I'm Xandria. Hi, I'm Liz. And this is Art Lab, a place to explore and create with art. Let's go. Today, we're going to play with surrealism. The surrealists were a group of artists and poets who enjoyed using their imaginations to make weird and wonderful artworks and poetry. Surrealists were interested in things like dreams, fantasies, and our unconscious thoughts. Surrealist art can be surprising combinations of people and objects or figures that are both highly realistic and strange. Some famous surrealist artists are Salvador Dali, Renee Magritte, Dorothea Tanning, and Leonora Carrington. If you've read Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, you've read a surrealist's work. Now that you know a little about surrealism, it's your turn to experiment with it as well. Let's get started. Next, let's gather our supplies. You'll need magazines, a couple of sheets of blank paper, scissors, tape, glue, or glue stick, any drawn utensils. This could be a pen, marker, or pencil. Once you have all your supplies, you're ready to go. Start looking through your materials and cut out anything you think is funny or interesting. Look for backgrounds or scenes for your surrealist creation. Take a look at the people and animals you come across. Cut out eyes, noses, mouths, etc. of all different sizes. Don't forget to cut out accessories, too. Hats, glasses, jewelry, etc. Arrange your collection of cutouts and start to put together new faces. The stranger looking, the better. It's a plus if they make you laugh. Glue or tape down your collage character to one of the backgrounds you found earlier or to a sheet of blank paper. Repeat the process until you've made a couple more characters. Make variations of the faces you made. Give your character a personality. Are they mean or grumpy? Try looking for a furrowed brow. Is your character a jewel thief? You've got to make them look sneaky. Where do you think your character would live? Try and make their home in the background. Experiment and continue to make stranger and stranger characters. Why not try to recreate a dream you had? Or create a surrealist version of a family photo. Try doodling on your collage. Experiment with your creation. There is no wrong way to make it. Anything goes. If you want to keep your artwork, make sure to sign it, especially if you plan on giving it to a friend. You don't need to keep your artwork if you don't want to. Half the fun is making it. If you try this out and want to share, we'd love to see what bizarre creations you come up with. Use the hashtag LBPLArtLab and don't forget to tell us your process. We want to try it as well. That's it for today. This has been Art Lab, brought to you by the Long Beach Public Library. See you next time!


Therefore, it's time for members' statements. The Member for Oxford. Mr. Speaker, the Robert School for the Deaf in London provides life-changing support for kids who are deaf or hard of hearing. One of those students is a four-year-old girl named Jaya who lives in my riding of Oxford. I've met with her mother who talked about the difference the school has made for Jaya and the difference the support has made to their family. She says the Deaf school is the student's lifeline to the language, education and identity. Since Jaya has attended the Robert School for the Deaf, she has started making eye contact. Deaf role models are showing her that she is not alone and she can now communicate with her parents. But she's only four and she needs the school for many years to come. And it's the only way she will get the critical language skills that she needs. Her mother has written to the Minister of Education the Premier begging them to keep the school open and yet she's been left to live in fear. She's here today along with hundreds of parents asking the government to not close down these life-changing schools. But this morning the Minister of Education once again refused to commit that the robots and these essential schools will stay open. I'm asking the government to give these students like Jaya a chance to succeed. And I'm asking them to end the fear for these families and commit that robots school for Deaf and the other provincial schools will stay open in the long term, Mr. Speaker. And thank you very much for the opportunity to present this statement. Thank you. Further member statements to the member from Essex? Thank you very much, Speaker. As always, it gives me great pleasure to rise in the legislature to recognize good people doing great things in my riding. Last week I had the pleasure of attending the Essex County Agricultural Hall of Fame Induction Ceremonies and to congratulate the three inductees for 2006. Diane Calantoneo, Mary Jane LaFrancoise and Glenn Weitz now have a place among the giants of farming in Essex County. Mary Jane LaFrancoise lived on the family farm on the Arner Townline. She obtained a BA and teaching certificate. She was the former vice president of the Essex County Federation of Agriculture, the former provincial director of the Federation of Agriculture. She's been involved in the Anderton Women's Institute for quite some time. Mary Jane has always been active with the Farm Safety Association and is passionately advocated for safer farm practices. Glenn Weitz purchased his farm in 1956. He's raised hogs, grown wheat, soybeans, corn, cucumbers, and tomatoes. Pioneered conservation techniques like low till and no till. Along with his wife, Marilyn, they have five children and nine grandchildren. They've served on numerous boards and committees. And Glenn has been awarded the Soil Conservation Award and the Bicentennial Certificate of Merit from the province and numerous others. Speaker, and Diane Calantoneo grew up on the family farm in Lakeshore, where she became a third generation farmer. She attended university and teachers college. She was a past president of her local's women's institute. And she was involved in the 4-H for over 30 years. Diane was not able to attend the ceremonies due to health issues. We wish her all the best and thank all this year's recipients and inductees. All the very best and thank them for their contribution to agriculture. Thank you, Speaker. Thank you for their member statements, the member from Scarborough Asian Court. Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. This year is the 10th anniversary reading circle, a community-based reading program I found in my writing of Scarborough Asian Court when I was a TDSB trustee. Since the beginning, this reading program has been held at the Bridewood Public Library for 90 minutes every Saturday from October to May, approximately 40 children from Junior Kindergarten to grade five and 25 high school student volunteers participate. After reading one-on-one with their reading buddies, children do a range of activities including writing, arts and crafts, puzzles and games, thus giving the children opportunities to develop their own language and social skills. Reading circles supported by dedicated local youth from high schools, from TDSB and the Toronto Catholic District School Board. This program enables the youth volunteers to earn the community service hours, as well as acquire leadership, teamwork and organizational skills. Mr. Speaker, as a first-generation Chinese-Canadian, I know the importance of the Toronto Public Library in helping new Canadians, like my family, to acquire English language skills. Hence, I'm very pleased to see my weekly reading program grow year over year. On April 23rd, Reading Circle was celebrated its 10th anniversary at the Bridewood Public Library. And I want to thank all the children, parents, volunteers, local high schools, and the staff at the library for making this community reading program such a success. Together, we're giving new opportunities for children and youth of all ages to develop literacy skills and the joy of reading. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Thank you for your member statements. The member from Stormont-Bundes and South Glendon-Gerry. Thank you, Speaker. Speaker, last month, Canadians had the opportunity to recall the importance of safety in our agricultural industry. Farms and the agriculture industry are the bedrock of our prosperity. The sector drives innovation, productivity, and employment with unyielding focus on quality. The agri-food sector is the largest employer in Ontario, providing highly skilled, well-paid, and stable jobs across the province. Farming, unfortunately, remains the riskiest professions in Canada. Through better technologies and smart regulations, we have made great progress. However, much more needs to be done. My writing in Stormont-Bundes and South Glendon-Gerry is not immune to farm accidents. Over my lifetime, our family has been involved in numerous accidents causing serious injuries. I lost a sister, a neighbour, and a first cousin to farm accidents. More recently in late January, I lost a close friend to a farming accident. Alvin Reynolds, the former Mayor of North Dundas, who I had the privilege to sit with on County Council. Alvin was a dedicated community worker involved in many associations, including Dairy Farm with Ontario. And last month, tragedy struck our family again when my son-in-law, Rock, lost his father in another farm accident. Marcel Brunet recently retired, and just weeks after celebrating his 60th birthday, lost his life doing something he truly loved doing. Working with his son, Rock, on the farm, he was days off. He cut wood since he's days as young as a teenager. The accident, like most farm accidents, was just an accident.  He was a devoted volunteer in his parish and his community, serving in a number of committees. He was a go-to guy when his parishioners and his friends needed a hand or someone just to fill in. Speaker, as you can see, Agriculture Safety Week touches too many families in Ontario, and we need to change that. Thank you. Thank you. Remember from Kingston and the Islands. I'm delighted to rise in the House today to acknowledge Hotel Dew Hospital's Child Development Centre 20th Annual Fundraising Run this past weekend in my riding of Kingston and the Islands. This event holds a special place in my heart. It is an event that truly does recharge my spirit and feed my soul, as I'm sure it does for the many people who come back year after year. Over 400 Kingstonians came out and helped raise more than $28,000 for CDC. Mr. Speaker, the Child Development Centre is one of 21 specialized centres in Ontario offering critical services to children and youth who have physical, neurological, or developmental disabilities such as cerebral palsy. For 42 years, the Centre's physiotherapists, occupational and speech therapists, dieticians, doctors, counselors and volunteers have provided outstanding service in our community. I would also like to give a shout out to a very special family, Mary, John and Brayden Young, who lost Sweet We Briley last fall. Mr. Speaker, Briley's face could light up any room, and this year her family gave away purple butterflies for children to wear, to honour her memory and to encourage others to engage in acts of kindness. I know that her spirit touched many at the CDC run as well as the participants in the race. Thank you as well to the excellent leadership of Director Margaret Van Beers for all your work to make this year's run a success, and of course every day of the year as well. Janessa, Brayden and Lachlan, you are fantastic ambassadors, by the way. Yassibou Koo, Miigwech, thank you. Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. This morning I had the absolute honour to welcome the Mayor of Tel Aviv, his name is Ron Choudai, and he was here basically to promote Tel Aviv. Obviously he wants us all to come visit, but he was here more with a group from the Canadian Committee for the Tel Aviv Foundation. You can find out more information at Tel Aviv Foundation.org. The three women who came with him were Orpas Gibson, Margalit, Navan, Erin Batata, and they're all from the Toronto region. And basically what they are doing is they are promoting donations and investment and interest in what a vibrant place Tel Aviv is, and that their dedication is focused on education, social services and welfare and the arts and culture and sports and the environment and quality of life. And what the Mayor said that was so interesting is that 6% of the Tel Aviv budget goes to arts and culture, so imagine that Mr. Speaker. Tonight is the Canadian Jewish Political Affairs Committee, CJ PAC as we commonly refer to it, around the political world in Toronto. And there's going to be a lot of young professionals there, as well as a lot of professionals. I'm hoping to see a lot of my friends from both sides of the room there celebrating the involvement of our Jewish youth and our Jewish young professionals in the political spectrum. So thank you again Mr. Speaker, and I'm glad that the Mayor is going to make the party as well, and now I'm going to hold him to it. Thank you. Thank you. Further member statements? The member from Burmese, Laura Walter. Thank you very much Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, today marks a very special occasion for the Sikh community. In general in South Asia, April in general, in this time period marks the harvest season of Basak or Basaki. But for the Sikh community specifically today, April 14th marks the celebration of Basaki which marks the creation of the Khalsa. Now Mr. Speaker, you're probably wondering what is the Khalsa? The Khalsa was created by the 10th Guru, Guru Gobind Singh Ji, before he installed the Guru Granthab as the final Guru of the Sikhs. Now Khalsa is defined as the sovereign for people who are free. And so today in fact is a celebration of our sovereignty, of the independent spirit of all people. And what the Khalsa was set to create was an order or a family that was committed to social justice. A family and an order that was committed to upholding principles and tenets that advanced equality and social justice. So some examples are there was a system of caste system which was oppressive. There were other ills in society like superstitions that kept people downtrodden, that kept people enslaved in their minds. And so the Khalsa was a way of uplifting people to achieve their own personal ambitions, their own personal potential. And to ensure that all society was able to achieve this potential for freedom, justice and equality. So today we celebrate, Basaki we celebrate the sovereignty in all of our souls and all of our spirits. And I enjoy, I ask all of us to join in the celebration, which is truly the celebration of the human spirit. Thank you so much. Thank you. The member Stephen, the member from Scarborough Southwest. Thank you Mr. Speaker. I'm pleased to rise today and highlight the incredible transportation transformation that's underway in my riding of Scarborough Southwest. I've talked about the existence in Crosstown LRT with construction well underway at the west end of the city. The dream of improving and modernizing public transit in my riding is closer than ever to being realized. Of the 25 new stations along the line, Scarborough Southwest will be seeing seven new stations opening. Starting at O'Connor and running east all the way to Kennedy Station. This means that close to 30% of these new stations will be my riding. And I can't tell you how much I've received positive comments from my constituents. Our government here is taking action to improve our transit infrastructure in Toronto and in fact in all of Ontario. Speaker, Ontario's transportation infrastructure is absolutely vital to the strength, stability and success of our province. Public transit helps our workforce get to the office. It helps our students get to the classroom. It allows our seniors to train active and mobile in the later years. It helps businesses to flourish. It helps residents to get where they need to go, when they need to be there. And I look forward to following the progress of the Edmonton Crosstown LRT. Watching it as it continues to benefit the residents of businesses of Scarborough Southwest and well beyond in all of Ontario. In fact, thank you Mr. Speaker. Thank you. Further member statements? The member from Mississauga Streetsville. Thank you very much Speaker. Japanese author Tamaki Matsuoka has written an important book about the Second World War's prolonged Sino-Japanese campaign. As importantly, Toronto Alpha, a largely Chinese group formed to document and spread the history of that long and brutal campaign, published the book called Torn Memories of Nanking. Author Matsuoka became a teacher in Japan in 1982 and began to look at the discrepancies between how history books in Japan and in the rest of the world treated the China-Japan campaign during World War II. In the late 1980s, Tamaki began to interview survivors and veterans of the battle for Nanking, now known as Nanjing. She wrote down first-hand accounts of Chinese survivors and Japanese soldiers who went on an extended killing spree of soldiers and civilians alike. It is a compelling story for its brutal matter of factness and its meticulous documentation. Often either denied or underplayed in Japan, Torn Memories of Nanking is a missing chapter in the documentation of World War II's longest campaign in which an estimated 25 million Chinese were killed. Particularly because its author is Japanese, this disturbing book shines new light into World War II's largest remaining dark historical corner. Thank you, Speaker. Thank you. I thank all members for their statements.


Hey, welcome back everybody. Jeff Frick here with theCUBE. We're in San Francisco at Zora Subscribed 2017, about 2,000 people talking about the subscription economy. But what I liked is when Teen had some sample stories up, he went with the big iron. He went with GE, and he went with Caterpillar. Companies that you probably don't think of a subscription economy, like maybe you do Spotify or Amazon Prime. So we're really excited to have Tom Buckler. He's the director of IoT and channel solutions for Caterpillar, Tom, welcome. Yeah, I appreciate it. Thanks for having me. I love that you had a ton of industrial Internet stories. I mean, this is real. This is not like coming down the road, but it's here today. No, absolutely. You know, I mentioned during the keynote that since the mid-90s, we've been connecting equipment. Since the mid-90s, we've been on our autonomous journey. And it's just today we can talk about the largest industrial fleets of over 500,000 assets connected. All of that valuable information coming in to help our customers. And then the fully autonomous fleets in the mines. It's pretty exciting stuff. Right, and you touched on something that we talk about often in the context of GE. We've had GE on a number of times where those GE sell engines or do they sell propulsion to the airlines? And you talked about do we sell as big earth moving equipment or do we sell X number? I don't even know how you measure big giant masses of rock and gravel move, but really selling it as a service not necessarily just the truck. Yeah, I think that, you know that was an important part of our discussion because when we talk about IoT and digital, it's really a very customer-centric strategy. So we're going to get into services like IoT type or digital-based services, which is our Cat Connect portfolio. If it's going to help serve our customers that we have today in the industries we play, be more successful, increase their operations, increase their efficiency. So we're not looking to build a platform or be a software company. When we get into this space, it's focused on those customers and increasing their profitability. And that's what leads us into these areas. We're going to be a heavy equipment manufacturer. We're going to sell big iron. That's what we do. We're going to leverage digital to help our customers be more successful. You say that, but I'm telling you, I can turn the lens a little bit. I see a whole lot of software company behind that big iron, so. No, I'm not, there's a lot of software on those machines. There's a lot of software that's coming off those machines and certainly we want to take all of that information. We want to put analytics on it and we want to help our customers go from being reactive to predictive. And really that's why we're at this conference, because when you get to what we call our Cat Connect services, a lot of those are subscription-based. When we're connecting 500,000 machines or we're able to go out and enable grade, assist on a machine over the air, or we're going to have these predictive health services to make sure uptime is maximized, all of those are data-driven services through Cat Connect and they're all subscriptions. So it's a natural fit for us to migrate into that along with our product business. Yes, some interesting numbers that you shared in the keynote. 500,000 connected machines. You talked about the obvious stuff, unplanned downtime, these are huge assets that need to run as close to 24-7 as they predictably can. But then you mentioned just looking at some other data and not even really heavy lifting data, but customers are getting tremendous utilization gains by leveraging some of the software that you guys have incorporated into the machines. Yeah, it's powerful stuff. I mean, if I talk about construction, the customer we mentioned is they asked us to connect all 16,000 pieces of their equipment. 3,000 of those were cat earth-moving machines. The other 13,000 weren't. They were a variety of other types of machines, but with the customer with that information and when they can get put it on one screen and they can look at utilization, they can look at location, they can look at idle time, they can increase their utilization significantly. So basic data with a fleet that size can help customers realize 10, almost 20% utilization gains and across the fleet that size, it's big money and it's big customer value. But even all the way down to the person who's got 10 machines, they can start to look at idle time, they can look at operator abuse and where they can train their operators better to perform better, so basic information of some of these machines is very valuable. It's such an interesting concept because you keep talking about your customers doing better with the assets that you guys provide them. When you're in a subscription relationship and you have this ongoing, back and forth, repetitive connection, it's a very different relationship and when you just sell something and you ship it and you take the money and you go on to the other one. And it seems like that's really kind of the secret sauce of the subscription economy that not enough people really highlight. Yeah, you know, in some cases, that's a great point. And one of the strengths of Caterpillar is our global dealer network. And so you mentioned about selling the product. You know, when we sell the product, our dealers provide that product and sell it to our customers, they generally have a long standing relationship with that customer. Everything from helping them with uptime to machine selection to operation to operator training. So we're in the business of working with customers through the long haul, but to your point, these digital services, you know, they create a digital relationship that's ongoing along with our dealers relationship that they've had for decades. So it's a really powerful kind of combination. And then I would imagine the data that you're now getting back off these machines, which before they were all connected, you know, you kind of saw them at the maintenance cycles and you could kind of see, you know, maybe what happened or didn't happen or maybe there's some patterns that are geographic or type of job or whatever. But now, you know, I love that the quote, we used to take a sample of old data and now we take all of current data. It must be tremendous value for you guys to develop better products, have better maintenance on your own products, see how these things can do much, much better. Yeah, you're absolutely right. And you know, when we talk about the data off the products, a lot of people initially go to telematics. And certainly when we talk about, you know, 500,000 assets, I'm talking telematics, but we also do about five million fluid samples that are off different compartments. We've got visual inspections that are on electronically through CAT and SPECT that's all the data coming back. So all of that information is really rich information. And to your point, we can take that all the way back to new product design and make sure that our next products are optimized. Pretty exciting stuff, absolutely. And who doesn't love a big yellow tractor truck? Absolutely. All right, Tom, well thanks for taking a few minutes out of your busy day and congratulations. All right, thanks for having me. All right, he's Tom Buckler. I'm Jeff Frick. Thank you. We'll be back after this short break. Thanks for watching.


Yesterday I went to town and I was trying to find this thing. I'm not sure what it's called But it's sort of like a like a giant chisel like as like as tall as me and just big heavy thing The ones they use for concrete I think are called breaker bars because it's just like a big long rod of hardened steel with like a point at one end and a Like a chiseled the end on the other and just Break up the concrete. Well, there's another kind that the man makes That has like a fatter chisel part on the bottom and it's really good for digging Like through hard ground and roots and stuff when Your area is not conducive to using like a pickaxe or a mattock or even a regular axe It's like if you can get inside the hole you're digging then you can use your pickaxe kind of materials or kind of tools But if you have to stand up out of the hole and you're kind of digging down in there It's nice to have like this this digging bar thing Well, I found the breaker bars for concrete for 25 bucks in town and that wasn't bad and When I finally found the the one I was looking for is 55 bucks, so I was like I forget it's like the rare so I ended up getting a 20-foot piece of pretty schedule 40 pipe one and a half inch diameter and That was $38 for a 20-foot piece and I cut it into three pieces at the store So now I can make three of them for like $13 each or whatever Or maybe I'll just make one and use the other two for something else. Anyway, I only need one right now. I'm squinting Hey, what movie director loves to angle grind things? squint and Tarantino All right there so this part up here is right down the center I put this at an angle So hopefully when I squish it these parts will flare out a little wider than they would if I just squished it on its own Right make sense. You get a sledgehammer for this But I did not yeah, that's about right so very exciting very exciting check this out this thing hanging down here is Is this the banana thing it's making bananas this one is like huge though. It's half a meter long It goes from there all the way up to there So I think it's plantains seem me like a hundred fifty pounds of plantains on there soon. Oh beauty I tied a rope back here just in case it gets so heavy it pulls the tree over


Today we're going to be taking a look at the lucky green Air Jordan ones, also known as the Celtics ones. Now before we start breaking down this shoe, we gotta talk about the history first. And don't worry, at the end of the video I'll be comparing the new retro against the 2009 DMP version. In 1986, Michael Jordan faced off against the Boston Celtics and in one of the games he scored 63 points in a double overtime game. He also had 6 assists, 5 rerounds, 3 steals and 2 block. Back then, Michael Jordan was a really young player in the league and he hurt his foot and he missed 64 games that season, yet was still able to find his way to help his team to the playoffs. Although he wasn't supposed to be playing in the playoffs because they wanted him to heal his foot for the next season, he still decided to play and went out and balled out. And for those that were wondering or have the argument, yes he still did score 63 points and broke the record in the NBA for most points in the playoffs, but they lost the game by a couple points and they ended up getting swept by the Celtics that same series. But either way, that story was something that inspired Jordan Brandon to release the Defining Moments Package back in 2009, which I still have in my collection to this day and I love these. Just look at the retail tag right here, 225 bucks, those were some good times back in the day. Now that you know a little bit more history about the 2009 pair and what causes us to think a little bit about this shoe right here, let's go ahead and start breaking down all the styles, cut some materials of these and then we'll show you the differences between the two because honestly, there's actually a lot.  Unfortunately, this is a size 10, not for me. Shout out to my guys over at Hearth for holding me down. I appreciate you guys for letting me get this review in, but unfortunately they didn't have a size 13 yet, so I'm still looking for a pair, we'll get into that a little bit later. Either way, let's crack open this box.  Oh, you got the shoe. So my initial first impressions of this sneaker when I first saw them on the internet, I loved them. When I saw them in hand, I love them. I think this is a really nice shoe and I'm excited to give you guys this review because you know I have the DMP pair and this one is just like a newer retro version with the better leather quality materials and you got that newer OG style cut, which we'll get into in a bit when we talk about the differences of the shoes, but either way, I'm excited about this release and I definitely wanted to make sure I got a review for you guys as well. So looking at the bottom of the shoe right here, you have your retro style Air Jordan 1 outsole, all green right there, wrapping up to the midsole, you got a pure white with a white stitch and then onto the upper, you have that toe blocking when it comes to the OG color blocking of the toe style, which I should have brought a version, but I'll show you guys a photo. This is what that looks like with the red and this is more of a green iteration right here. So very similar when it comes to the OG toe blocking. Now we have seen the new versions that a lot of people know of when you think of shattered backboards or if you think of like the purple toes or different things like that, I could understand that, but when it comes to actual OG toe color blocking, this is what you're going to see. Now as I feel on the leather throughout the shoe, you have a couple of mixtures of different leathers when it comes to the smoothness and then how tumble it is on the back end and then on the midfoot panel as well and how soft it is. This is a little bit more firm. It does feel a little soft and it's more smooth on the front and around the toe with the black area and on the top end with the white area on the top of the vamp right here. And then when you go to the back end where the green is, this is where you're going to see more of a softer tumble leather here where the lucky green color is. We like to call these Celtics ones, which again, we'll get into the comparisons in a second.  And we can't forget our classic branding with the airdrop and wings logo on the side of the ankle and then your Nike air and green on the top of the tongue. Now these come standard laced with a pair of green laces, which are just a little bit brighter than the actual green on the back end. Hopefully you can see that difference. I'll try to put it side by side for you guys as well so you can see. I don't know. It's really, really close, but I can't say in my eye, it looks like the green laces are just a little bit more bright. Have that little neon kind of vibe to it. Nothing crazy though. I think people wouldn't really have a problem. Now these have an additional pair of black laces right here that come inside of here. You got the move to zero vibe right here with the cardboard holding the laces and then on the inside of the sock liner, you have all black, black behind the tongue and a green Nike air on the bottom of the heel. So now that you've seen some more details of this shoe, let's compare them against the DMPs because there's a lot of differences. So first off with this pack, as you can see, it's a lot bigger because there's two pairs of shoes. So you got the hardwood right here representing the basketball court when he had the 63 point game. And then you got the different elements right there with the green hits on the top. Now these comes, as you can see, like I said earlier, $225 was a retail, which is crazy because these is like 170 or 180 or something like that. So times have definitely changed to say the least. But you got the Bulls Air Jordan ones right here, Jordan on the back, Jordan on the front. We don't need to talk too much about these because we've got to get into comparison of the Celtics ones. One second as we pull this part out and then I can show you guys the differences.  I should have cleaned them up a little bit. But either way, we'll get into it. So if you look at these two shoes right here, maybe I should now we'll just do it like this would be good. If you look at these two shoes right here, you can see to the untrained sneaker head eye, they look this like the same shoe. I get that. I get that.  And if you don't, I'm going to show you guys the differences. So first off, the overall shape of these two sneakers, as I put them side by side, you can see the difference of the shape of the shoes because this is the retro high Air Jordan 1 from the era that 2008 to 2010 era when the Jordan 1s were kind of changing. And we were just finally starting to get Jordan 1 highs because Jordan 1 mids used to be popping before that, which is a whole another story. But this was what we got before we started to get the OG style. The OG cut is what these are titled as we saw in the label Air Jordan 1 High OG. So this is the new retro OG style.  But either way, this style and cut came before this. And now we're starting to see this kind of come in and be the new playing factor. And everybody loves this more because a couple of different things, not only because of the materials on these two shoes, but the actual jump man branding on the back end on the heel of the shoe right here, you can see that there's a jump man stitched on the back.  And that's something that we never really saw. That we would only see that on mids and highs, but not the actual OG colorways in the OG styles and cuts. So a lot of people are happy about that. And then also the other thing was the big square jump man in the air on the tongue. Everybody wanted the Nike air that brought back the OG vibe as well. And as you can see right here, any OG Jordan 1 high, you have the Nike air on the tongue. So again, this is something that a lot of people love to see when it comes to this new retro version, getting that same classic OG cut and style that we typically have seen over the past, I don't know how many years it's been like, well, it's about eight years now. It's been a while actually. Now another difference besides that also when it comes to branding aspect, you have, you can see right here on the wings logo, this one is more of a stamp and it's kind of shinier. And then this one is more embossed in as you can see the wings logo on the new retro. So definitely a little bit different on these two. Let me know what you guys think down below in the comment section on that end. And then obviously like I said, the leather quality and materials as I put the two heels side by side, you can see with the tumbled leather and these ones, yeah, we know the leather just wasn't as nice back then. I get that. But at the same time, there was so much nostalgia for this era and all the collectors at this time. So I can see why people still love these ones to this day and say, hey, the new retro doesn't have anything on the 2009 pair. Now one final thing I'm not sure everybody noticed as well, you actually have a new buck type swoosh when it comes to the swooshes on the 2009 retro. And then on the 2023, like I said earlier, it's a black leather right here. So there's like the tongue, the shape, the Jumpman logo on the back, the air branding, the swoosh. You know what I'm saying? You're starting to see the differences and then obviously the boxes are different. So there's at least five to seven different elements to the sneaker that set these two apart, the Nike air on the insole, the Jumpman on the insole, the different elements like that. So after seeing all the similarities and differences between the two shoes, let me know what you guys think down below in the comment section. Now I always like to do this on a poll on my Instagram story to see what everybody thinks on that. Whether the shoe is fire or trash. And I asked the people the simple question, what do you think about this shoe? And this is what they said. 88% of the people chose fire and 12% of the people chose trash. And it makes complete sense. I think this is gonna be sneaker that a lot of people love. Yet at the same time, I don't think the price is gonna be too crazy when they first come out. And then over time it will jump up in value. But because we know that all the hype isn't around Jordan 1s anymore and everybody's loving Jordan 4s, I think these are gonna be really easy to obtain or for the most part, they shouldn't be that hard to obtain. And if you do have to pay over the retail price, it shouldn't be too much. Now when it comes to the comparison between the 2009 and the 2023 retro, I am honestly kind of shocked by the results right here just because I know I have a huge sentimental value when it comes to this one in particular on the 2009. So I can get that. But at the same time, there's gonna be a lot of new sneaker heads coming into the game that weren't collectors at the time and wanted to get these. And now they finally have the chance all these years later. So I understand that as well. But these results to me are kind of shocking. 63% of the people chose the new retro and 37% of the people chose the old retro. Now for me in particular, I was thinking maybe somewhere around like 45, 55, maybe all the nostalgia from that one and everything like that. I get it, there's a jump man on the tongue and on the back and all those other elements as well. But at the same time, it's like, bruh. You know what I'm saying? Like, I don't know. They did better on the quality of leathers for sure on this one, but these ones just hit a little bit different. And maybe it's again, because of my generation of collecting and being around for that long. So I could understand honestly both sides of the realm of why people chose one or the other makes complete sense. At the end of the day, both shoes are fire. I think both are worth having in the collection. And if you have a chance to get these for a decent price or retail, I think you're gonna be a very happy camper with this sneaker. So let me know what you guys think about these down below in the comment section. I'm excited to hear how you feel. Good luck on the release date. And if you guys wanna see any other future comparisons or reviews, make sure you leave a comment down below and I'll try to get to it for you guys. I will never let you down. Yo, before you go, I just launched my sneaker head academy where we got everything on the inside. I teach you all the stuff that I learned over the past 15 years. When it comes to sneakers, scaling, real estate, you name it, we talk about all of it in there.  I give away shoes literally way too much, honestly. But either way, I'll see you guys on the inside. Hit the link down below in my description or pinned in the comment section for DJ sneaker head academy. And I'll see you guys over there. My D.A., baby, the only choice I like to make. We made it to the end of this video. Do you know what package this is right here? This was a good time. If you guys wanna see the review of these, let me know. We got to school some of the new heads because mids used to be popping. I was made for it, listening to your name. I was made for it, listening to your name. I was made for it, listening to your name. The only choice I like to make.


Oh, I don't know what I'm talking about. Oh, it's going to be good. Yeah. Okay. Right now. Yeah. Okay. So. Hey, welcome. We are live. I know it was dark right now.

So the way I see it is that if we could take things that are happening in the YouTube community or pop culture and take some valuable lessons away from them, I think you and I had a pretty valuable use of our time. What is up everybody? This is Chris from the Rewired Soul where we talk about the problem, but focus on the solution. And if you're new to my channel, I do just what I said in the intro. I try to take topics that are happening in the YouTube community and not just do commentary but actually see what lessons we can learn from them. So if you're into that stuff, make sure you subscribe and ring that notification bell. So yeah, I did want to do this kind of follow-up video. I wanted to break these two videos about Tanimojo and Brad Susa, the fake Justin Bieber breaking up because he cheated. Because I think there are some other topics to talk about because I know a lot of people out there are single or maybe you're in a relationship and you can definitely relate to what Tan is going through. So full disclaimer, I'm not like a marriage and family therapist or a relationship counselor or anything like that. My credentials are I am just a guy who has been in a lot of messed up relationships. I'm 33 years old now, so I don't know. I spent a lot of time getting a messed up relationship. So I want to share the lessons that I've learned because I can definitely relate to what Tan went through in this Brad Susa situation. And I'm hoping some of these things that I talk about might be able to help you as you're looking for your next partner or if you're in a relationship right now, you're not really sure about it. Like, hey, I'm just going to drop some suggestions, take with them what you will. So basically, in Tan's video, she was really upset about the fact that she gave so much to Brad. She talks about money she gave him, she talked about how she stopped hanging out with certain friends, everything like that. So like, one thing I will touch on is like this isn't like to throw any shade at Tana or anybody else who's been in this situation. Like the most we can do is learn from our mistakes or learn from not even mistakes, just things that we've been through. Right. And I talked about that in my last video is that it seems like Tana gained some knowledge from this. Right. But anyways, there are definitely some things that we should all be looking at as potential red flags. So Tana talked about how she gave him everything, gave him everything, right? Like move out here and everything like that. I don't know if they were living together or anything, but like, this is something that you really need to check yourself on. This isn't really the other person's fault. It is more us, right? We fall so deeply in love with somebody so quickly that we just want to give them everything like come like for some of us, it's like move in with us, right? Or here, I'll buy you this, I'll buy you that, I'll buy you this and all these other things. But sometimes it's our attention, our time and we give them everything. And this is one of our own personal red flags in my opinion that we need to really take a look at. Like am I giving far too much? Are my emotions like justified, right? And when I say justified, it's more of that we have these very extreme intense emotions some of us do like very early on. And this is something I've talked about in the past when it comes to emotionally regulation. Like a lot of us like we don't just feel like we feel. You know what I mean? I made a video about Pete Davidson and borderline personality disorder, but a lot of people were talking about how they can relate to those emotions and to those feelings, where it's not like you just go on a first date or you start talking to somebody and you're like, oh, this is cool. Maybe we'll go out on a second date, but we fall very intensely and deeply with them. So what's the solution to that? The best thing that we could do is just be more mindful that we're doing that. You see what I mean? If we're giving too much too soon, like something that Tana talked about, she didn't say it directly, but I would imagine because I've gone through it myself. I've had friends go through it as well. But what happens is that we could develop trust issues, right? We start to have this narrative created in our head that everybody's going to hurt us. If this person we loved and gave everything to, it can hurt us, right? So Brené Brown actually has some great advice on this and actually uses like this jelly bean analogy. I won't dive fully into, but we give people just little bits of trust at a time. And that's how we discover like how much we're going to trust them because a lot of us when we put these walls up, we begin to isolate ourselves and distance ourselves from people who really don't deserve it. But we also need to walk into different situations with caution based on our own past experiences. The next red flag is money. And I separated this from the last one because money is a very weird thing. So if somebody we're getting with is financially dependent on us, that's not a good thing. That's not a good thing. And I often look at like, I don't know, celebrities, big YouTubers or people with some kind of higher position where they have some kind of power. I kind of look at these and like it would suck because you always got to wonder like are people hanging out with them because of them or because of their position or their money, right? And that in my opinion gets a relationship off to a rough start is when you're giving the person a lot of money and taking care of them financially, right? So we don't know in the context of Tana and Brad, but like I think we all need to look at that. You know, like if somebody just starts dating us and like they're financially dependent on us, we have to really, really wonder about that. You know what I mean? But on the other hand, too, I've done this before in the past, like Tana, it hasn't been tens of thousands of dollars because I ain't bawling like that. But it's something that I have to check in with because something I've talked about in previous videos is something called self-seeking, right? We believe, we believe that we're being so giving, so self-sacrificing, so nice, so kind, so generous, all these other things. But we're actually doing it with an ulterior motive, right? We're doing this expecting something in return. And again, no shade at Tana, but just using this situation as context. It sets up certain expectations, right? Because we feel the more that we financially give another person the more loyal they should be. You know what I mean? The more reliable they should be. The more likely it is that they're going to stay with us forever. The more that they're going to love us and care about us. So we're doing these things with an expectation. Now, from my experience, what I found a lot of times is that I didn't even realize I was doing it. You know what I mean? But I was giving so much in relationships to try to keep the person there. I thought that that was like an insurance policy, right? So I would imagine, and this is pure speculation, I would imagine there's a part of Tana who feels, you know, like, I gave so much. Like, they shouldn't have done that because of all these things I gave them or bought them or whatever. Because especially in Tana's situation, it came into like, followers and subscribers and connections with people she knows in the industry and all those other things. So that's why I believe like, when we get into relationships, there's certain things that need to stay separate. Like my beautiful girlfriend, Atris and I, we've been together for over two years and everything like that. But like, it took a while for us to like move in and we split things financially and we had discussions about this before we moved in together and everything like that. But I think it sets us up for failure when we jump into our relationship and we start give, give, giving, right? So the last thing I want to talk about, the last red flag I want to discuss is Tana Mojo talks about how Brad Sosa had some insecurities and I don't know the details of it. I don't know if she mentioned in like a live stream or something like that. I don't know if it was men or who it was. But she said because of Brad's insecurities and his request, she dropped certain friends and now that she's broken up with him, she has friends that are like, oh my God, Tana's back, right? This is a huge red flag. If you start dating somebody that doesn't want you hanging out with your friends, like I've had people I've dated in the past do this. Huge red flag, huge, huge, alarms going off, like be warned, be warned, okay? Like for example, for example, I have like a lot of best of my best friends are men, but I have very, very good best friends who are women as well. Like one of my best friends, I've known her since I was a teenager. She's like a sister to me and there was one woman I dated like in my 20s before I got sober and everything, but she was extremely jealous, extremely jealous of my best friend even though she was like a sister to me, right? And she like still is a sister to me, but that was a gigantic red flag. You know what I mean?  I'm just gonna be friends with them until they like me type of deal. Like you should really be cautious in my opinion about anybody you get into a brand new relationship that wants you to start dropping friends because here's the thing. When we get so emotionally invested in somebody, like that honeymoon phase is real. We can imagine spending the rest of our lives with them and everything like that. So in our mind, it justifies dropping our friends like, oh, I don't need my friends because this person's going to be with me forever. And like I don't want anybody to be pessimistic out there, but like I got to a place where I got into sort of getting into relationships. It's just like, I do not know what the future holds, but based on, you know, my friends being there for me for all these years, it does not make sense. And it's not fair to them, especially not fair to them to just drop them because a new person came into my life. So I would suggest if you have somebody that you're dating or starting to date, they like tries to tell you this or they're uncomfortable with you having friends. Like have a good long discussion because this, this is an issue. And I'm not going to dive too far into it, but this can even be a red flag of potential abuse. Okay, I'm not saying that Brad Sosa or like abuse Tana anyway. But I'm saying this is a potential red flag because one of the signs of abuse is isolating the person away from friends and or family. So something that we really got to keep an eye out for. All right. So again, my heart goes out to Tana and I hope she's, you know, doing well and everything. She's a strong, strong young woman. So she's going to kick butt and I know she's going to get better. But anyways, I hope you guys enjoyed this video. I hope you got some insight and hopefully you learned some things. And if you like, take some of these suggestions. If not, that's cool. But let me know down in the comments below. Have you dove way too soon into a relationship too hard too deep and done some of these things that we've talked about. And how does that work out? Let me know down in the comments below. All right.

How did that feel to have someone in your heart? Oh my gosh, I was just like, thank you, Lord. America has always been associated with making it. But is this opportunity accessible to all? I'm Scott Shigeoka, Go Daddy's Entrepreneur in Residence. And I'm on a journey across the country meeting the people who are building it. They're defying the odds and their stories show us what it means to be made in America. The first step can be the scariest and the hardest step for a lot of people. I know it was for me. But if we take that leap of faith and we actually step in to making our businesses come to life, there is so much that can happen for us. That's what I'm really excited about is both Consuelo and Sequoia are taking their ideas and they are putting it into action. And they are nervous. It can be scary to step into the role of being a boss and growing your company. It can be scary to pivot your business and go mobile with a store that had always been brick and mortar. We are gonna check in on Sequoia because she has been doing a lot of work getting her truck ready. We'll go to Memphis Pride and open up the doors of the truck so that she can see what this looks like to bring her shop on the road. Hi. Sequoia, oh my gosh, how's it going? I'm very nervous, but also excited at the same time. What are you feeling nervous about? Making sure I got everything, making sure I checked everything off, making sure I didn't forget anything. That's gonna be such a great time. Yes. Sequoia is fierce. She has grit. I feel like a big man. And she finds a way through her own resourcefulness to make things happen. This is the official launch today of that So You Will Take. I'm actually really impressed that she's stepping into new space. For Memphis Pride, it's an event she's ever been to. And I think that's what we have to do as entrepreneurs. We need to step out of our comfort zones with an open mind. We are going to 2019 Memphis Pride in a clock to set up something. So you got the flag. I got the flag, yes. We had talked about putting the Pride flag up on her truck when she brings her boutique to Memphis Pride, showing the community that she is open, inclusive, and excited to be there. And if we're all doing that, if we're all stepping into new environments, being in new kinds of people, we're gonna weave together the social fabric that we need as a community. Hey! How's it going? Long time no see. Nice to see you again. Good to see you. Guess what? I have a very good news. Yes, we already have the website. And I have three new customers and one new worker. Dang! Okay. She was at a point when we last saw her where she wanted to build a stronger client base so that she could start building her business, bringing on more employees and moving from cleaning into supervising and managing the people you work with and the business you run. Some of my employers don't drive and I have to go and pick it up and take it to the jobs, but I encourage them to drive. It's important for them and for their families too. Driving gives people independence. Oh, yes. Yes. Now you're moving into becoming an employer. You have these amazing employees that are working alongside of you. What are you doing here with Maria? Maria, she used to have three days with us. I'm supervising her and tell her how she can do it. Soon as she gets it, I can let her to work by herself. I love this purple, by the way. Thank you. Is there significance around purple and is there something about the shirt? We wore the purple color because this means to me stop the domestic violence. Beautiful. So it's like a way for you to not just show up and look unified as a company, but it's also for you to have a message. And I think those are details that a lot of business owners might not think about, you know? But it's actually really important. I hope I can do more that provide work for them. I hope I can provide something that helps them inside. It's what I told one-on-the-ladies I helped in claiming if I did it with three kids by myself, with no money, no house, no husband, heartbroken, life-broken. And I was thinking that I'm not good for nothing. You can do it too. I think everybody can do a business if it they want. I think that also changes the way customers might feel about your business by sharing that on your website, showing the cleaners who are a part of this business, how to build business skills, how to become entrepreneurs, how to take control of their own lives. I mean, for me, as a customer, I would be more interested in working with an organization like that. Hi, Sequoia. Okay, so there's gonna be a little bit of a game change. We're gonna move your location, okay? How are we gonna pull it up in there? This is crazy, crazy, crazy. She's a go-getter, coming from a storefront to a boutique on Will's is very exciting. I'm just very grateful to be in her life right now. Have there been complications? Yes, it's hot. I was unorganized with staff. Getting loaded up, trying to get parked. We couldn't find our slides. Are our tent broke? Yeah, we forgot the tent cover, and it's in the garage, on the steps, to the left in the corner over there. It's a blue one. Thank you, Carrington, love you. We had a very tough time with the tent. I thought that was gonna be, like, the end, no. But any time you're in business, everything is not gonna be ironed down, it's not gonna be laid out in variables. But we just gotta go over the obstacles and make things happen, and that's what we do with the team effort. Usually, businesses, when they're struggling, they think the fix is a little more money. And part of our process for anyone that approaches us for a loan is really to really try to understand their business model. I'm trained as an attorney, so I tend to problem solve and ask a lot of questions anyway, and I love the challenge of trying to find these solutions for these small businesses. It takes a village sometimes. So, we're gonna take a look at your website? Uh-huh. Oh, my gosh, I love that. Me too, this is great. So, how many clients do you have now? Five commercial ones, and 10 residential ones. That's phenomenal. And then one employee that you just hired? Yeah, higher, yes. That's phenomenal. It's really cool to see your ideas from last time actually become a real, you know, become reality. Like, what do you think about your mom's journey building her business and trying to grow it? It's been a great transformation for her to change and, you know, take care of his kids to along with it. That's beautiful. I'm going to cry. And that's a progress for them. It's a progress for the country. It's a progress for all the people. Having an entrepreneur as a parent is really, really big because you get to see what commitment looks like, you get to see what consistency looks like, and most of all, you get to see resiliency. Being knocked down but getting back up, that really is the internal strength of any entrepreneur. I want to have the kids established in their own house. So she is renting this home that we're in right now, and because of the success of her business, she is now two months away from actually buying this house, from owning this house. I mean, that's a huge deal because that was the whole purpose of this journey, was to create more stability, more security for herself and her family. I think that's such a milestone for Consuelo. Did we make sales today? We did have sales today. We didn't do what we projected, but it was sales. That's good. We had a start. Yes. No, they really look cute on you. Interacting with people, showing her love, showing her ability to communicate, and just her joy within herself. It's exciting for me to watch. So this is the first event. So we're not all together, but yeah. Thank you. Thank you. I'm going to show you our new website and how it looks when you go to it. This is the greatest food take ever. That's all you. This is the website. So clean and cute. That's the mobile version. I mean, when I look at her fashion boutique, it screams Sequoia. When I saw her and I met her, I was like, yeah, this is you. This is you embodied in your business. And I think it's a reminder that when we go into making our own way and when we go into starting our own businesses, it doesn't have to feel like we're creating a new version of ourselves. No, we can just be ourselves. I'm proud of my setup. I'm proud of my truck. I've learned how I can make the boutique better. I was like, yes, this is really happening. And I'm ready to do this again and again and again. Building a business doesn't happen in a day and it requires continued perseverance and grit. And these are two qualities that Sequoia and Consuelo both have. A lot of folks are realizing that what is really important to them, like the new measure of success, is not defined by income. It's defined by time, flexibility, and choice of what you wanna do when you want to do it. I think the American dream is really about this idea that you're able to access opportunity. You're able to take care of yourself and take care of your family financially. And that's what I think it's about. Providing resources to those who don't have the same access can actually combat some of these systems that are oppressing people. And I think that's really powerful. We should care that we have local entrepreneurs who look like us, live by us, that are helping to keep this entire economy moving forward. In this country that gave me the opportunity to learn a new business. And I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Because I'm always surrounded by very good people from this country who gave me the opportunity. I'll be right here beside her. Never behind her, never in front of her, but always beside her. You know, we can all seem so different as people, but there are these moments where we share so much.  And I think you need to use those resources. Made in America is about supporting each other. It's about persevering. It's about continuing even when your tent breaks. It's about giving your employees access to the transportation they need. It's about all of these things that Consuelo and Sequoia have done in the past two months. And I know there are so many more unique and inspiring stories out there. Tune in for the next series where I'm gonna continue to go across the country, meeting the people who are making moves against the status quo. And you know, every situation is different and it's nuanced, and we have to do what we can to empower everyone because everyone deserves the right to make their own way.


I haven't even really put it out there yet. I'm not even happy for Yeah, not even having this really like the first thing ever for is just these cleats just something to spark something up No website or nothing Exactly hope for it to be Some that you know go on forever just a platform for myself that go that can go on forever like I said to be whether it just be for like clothing brand stuff like that and Just the name I can use to you know build my legacy for the family my younger son, you know stuff like that Do you have a plan or are you just kind of like yeah, you got I gotta have a plan like I said it ain't all put together right now But it's definitely gonna build so just to start There is a difference, you know for for myself it'll just be the difference is that we got 10 games 11 games under our bill now, so Just experience more knowledge of the game more film that we could watch And just to be prepared for the game You know the whole key to preparation is being a step ahead.

Russia considers mobilizing another 450,000 people. Russia has not suspended mobilization and is considering the possibility of conscripting an additional 450,000 people. Kyrylo Budenov, Chief of Defense Intelligence of Ukraine, has said. Budenov said this in an interview with Krim.RelaiMediaOutlet. Now they are considering the option of conscripting an additional 450,000, although this issue has not yet been fully resolved. He said, Budenov emphasized that mobilization in the Russian Federation has not stopped. Last autumn, they conscripted about 350,000 Russians. But covert mobilization continues all the time, and currently 20,000 to 22,000 people are called up every month. In itself, this leads to the next question. Why such a number if the losses are, as they say, negligible? Well, you will see that the truth is somewhere in the middle, Budenov explained. Political experts, however, point out that Putin's initial mobilization decree is still in full force, and a steady trickle of reports shared on social media suggests some men are still being recruited. Now military experts predict Russia might have to ramp up the tempo again in light of losses sustained in bloody battles. President Vladimir Putin's announcement last September of a partial mobilization of 300,000 reservists to fight in Ukraine sparked widespread panic and the departure of tens of thousands of Russian men abroad.
