Welcome back to our channel. This is an API that I've been trying to develop, basically using GitHub because it's a free resource and you can have collaboration and so many things. But I've realized my method of work has been so manual. I'm trying to create endpoints on my API and these will be outputting districts and in each district will have particular sub counties will have a parish, will have a sub parish and then eventually will have a village tailored to that particular into the API. However, I've found out that I need more than that. I just don't need to have this only open-ended but I should be able to have a number of endpoints where someone can query just one of any of these items. So I've realized that WordPress has a very good rest API in built in it already. It has things like that I can customize and make my own endpoints just like how WooCommerce has managed to make its own endpoints. In a nutshell of what I'm going to be doing is I'll create my own namespace which is different from what WordPress is because that's the recommendation but I'll be able to shoot off parts like what WordPress has here. So in the WordPress namespace we have an endpoint for posts and once you query that by adding posts onto your URL here you'll find that you're able to get the links, the title and other content that is available for you from the endpoint itself. And what I'm going to do also is I'm going to use what we call Mass Use Plugins Usually you have the option of deleting and activating but with this particular plug-ins that will be all set in stone there is nothing to delete or remove because I want that particular action to be working across all themes that will be put on this particular API backbone. So at the end of the day we'll have districts and counties and parishes and I'm going to be using taxonomies that are inbuilt in WordPress and then at the end of the day I can have anyone who can just do any word processing to just input the villagers and attach them to districts and counties which will be sortable and so we'll be able to create a number of endpoints at the end of the day. So we'll be able to get what we wanted here but much faster, much cleaner with very few errors but also quite faster than usual so we'll be able to extend it because WordPress is very extendable if I wanted to add something like size on to each village I am able to just do that by adding a meta box to each one of those post types so I hope to see you I hope that you'll be able to enjoy this so if you haven't subscribed to this channel please subscribe because there's very many interesting things that couldn't come up then you can like this video just to let me know what you think about this particular series and what you would like to see in it thank you for subscribing thank you for watching I'll see you in next tutorial bye bye


Aaron, how did that hole in one feel? It felt great. It felt great. Nice little three-wood, little slight draw right on the front side of the green and just trickled in. It felt amazing to get one. How far was that? The hole was 303. I had a pretty good three-wood right there.


Good morning, everyone, and welcome to the OER Domains Conference. I'm very pleased to be here chairing this session with Jen Jens this morning. He's going to be talking about infrastructure and lightweight markup language for OER in the case for Emacs Reveal. I'm looking forward to his presentation. Take it away. Okay. Thank you, Helen, for the introduction. Actually, from where I'm currently sitting. Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. So my name is Jens Lichtenberger. I'm with the University of Münzer in Germany. And in this talk, I'll sketch my free software infrastructure Emacs Reveal to generate OER presentations, such as the one that I'm currently presenting from my browser, and that you can find under the URL shown on this slide, where you can follow along in your browser if you want. Note that in the bottom left, there is a usage help link, and that might help you getting started. So I'd like to take you to a quick reality check. So let's briefly check how we might be using OER, for which we expect the five hours of openness, which go back to a research paper by Hilton and others in 2010. And based on that idea of openness, nowadays we expect the freedoms to retain, to reuse, to revise, to remix, and to redistribute materials. Now, suppose that after this conference, you aim to remix a presentation. And maybe as usual, you obtain a PDF version. So how do you transfer contents into your OER? So copy and paste from PDF is a hassle, and quite likely there will be layout conflicts as well. Maybe you're more lucky and obtain a PowerPoint source file instead of a PDF. But well, maybe you're using Viber Office or only Office, and then likely again, you run into layout problems. And even if you use PowerPoint, then positioning of elements might still be slightly different, for example, in your organization's corporate style, using different fonts.  And then quite likely, you do that in a silo. So you fix typos, you update contents based on more recent research. And the question is, do you notify the author? Do you collaborate? How? And I'm going to answer those questions based on my approach towards OER. So this is the agenda for these 15 minutes. So first, I clarify basic terms, then explain requirements for OER before presenting IMEX reveal and telling you a bit about sample OER courses, and then concluding the presentation. So concerning basic terms, first of all, there is, of course, OER as a term itself. But in this conference, I do not have to explain that. Instead, just let me remind you of the five hours of openness mentioned earlier, which characterize a culture of sharing, which uses appropriate licensing to overcome barriers of copyright law, granting freedoms to everyone. And in fact, such freedoms have a long tradition in software development under the term free software, which you might know as open source software. And all software that I endorse here in this talk is free software. So you can take that, improve it, redistribute it in modified form. And that is what we also want to do with OER. So my approach is rooted in a version control system called Git. So what's that? First of all, version control systems empower us to manage shared repositories. That is collections of documents with their histories, keeping track of who changed what, when, and why. Importantly, Git is a decentralized version control system, which enables us to work independently on own copies of our documents, even offline, and to synchronize our work with others as we wish and control. In my approach, I use GitLab, a platform to manage Git repositories on the web, where lots of actions can be performed in the web browser. If you do not know GitLab yet, there is lots to explore. I believe that we should learn version control when we learn digital writing. Thus we need to teach it. So this slide contains a reference to an academic paper discussing Git in an OER context and a link to a self-study introduction that I use with my students. Actually earlier this day, I just went through them through Git exercises. And as a side note, the Git introduction mentioned here is an OER generated with Emacs reveal. So those were basic terms. Now let's head over to requirements for OER. So the choice of an appropriate license is crucial for OER, but beyond the scope of this talk. Then the paper by Hilton and others from 2010, which I mentioned earlier, not only proposed the Rs of openness, but also the so-called ALMS framework to characterize the openness of OER. I really suggest that you read that paper if you don't know it yet. And in a nutshell, not only OER, but also the production software and source material should be free and open. That's the essence of that framework. And I have a kind of interpretation of that framework that I described in the German paper, but roughly the ALMS for access to editing tools is best characterized by free software. And it should be extended to include access to OER on any device, also mobile and offline. Also, I suggest to extend these M and S for meaningfully editable and source file access by the concept of single sourcing from technical writing. With single sourcing, we collaboratively maintain documents without the need for copy and paste. So recall that copy and paste, as I said, initially creates isolated duplicates in silos. And besides, we'd like to develop the layout independently of the real contents. And then lightweight markup languages are just text documents and make up for a good starting point. So they pose no barriers to editing. And they allow us to harness the full power of version control systems such as Git. And then EmacsReview is my software suite, free software and infrastructure to create OER presentations and documentation and source code are available on GitLab under links that you see here. With EmacsReview, I generate HTML slideshows like this one. And they can be viewed in standard browsers and include too many features to explain here. But importantly, the requirements that I mentioned earlier are all satisfied. So that means I write presentations in a lightweight market language that is called ArcMode and that is native to the text editor GNU Emacs. So the name EmacsReveal refers to Emacs as editor and reveal JS as presentation framework. And HTML presentations are then generated from ArcMode files on a GitLab infrastructure. And besides, this slide points to a paper describing the approach of EmacsReveal to handle license information of embedded images with machine readable metadata. And on this slide, you see how such an ArcMode content actually looks like. So I'm not going to explain all the details here. But instead, first, I'd like to jump back. So this is actually the source code of an earlier slide. So it's this slide here. So recall that was for basic terms. So we've got a kind of structure in these presentations, first level and second level headings. So we are UNESCO definition first level heading. And then you also see different types of boldface and italics and you see literature references.  And this is here how the source code looks like. So for example, references, they actually go to a BibTech file, which you might know from LeyTech. Then I told you that this slide itself was on a second level of nesting. And that is indicated by these two stars here at the beginning by the two stars here at the beginning of the line. So you see the citations here. And so that there is a little bit to learn about this type of markup. But I would say that it's not particularly complicated. Of course, it takes some time getting used to this. But then you can really focus on the contents without really having to worry about the layout of the slide as it is created afterwards. So I publish my material at oer.gitlab.io and I'd like to invite all of you, take a look, maybe contribute, maybe join forces if you like that particular approach. As I said, the strength of this use of lightweight markup language is that contents can be specified independently of layout considerations. And so content experts do not have to be layout experts as well. And remixing is possible independently of layout conventions. That should simplify collaboration across organizational boundaries. Then ART mode has something called an include mechanism. So what you see on this slide is another teaching resource that I use with my students. It's about Docker, whatever that is. But what you see here is that so that will result in some presentation for the students, for self-study. And you see that it consists of several parts. And I'm free to choose which one to include for what purposes. And also these different parts can be improved independently from each other. And then afterwards being brought together. And as I said, the important use series, they can updates and improvements do not have to exist in isolated silos, but can be maintained in a shared repository following the ideas of single sourcing from technical writing. In addition, when thinking about OER, as I said, we need to think about license considerations. And IMAX review adopts licensing recommendations of a review of the reuse project. It's a project around software development, but still the ideas are quite simple. So in the source files, I just include license headers, such as those that you see here, a line indicating copyright and then also what type of license I'd like to share that under. And then in the presentations, license information is generated automatically in human and machine readable form. Well, so that was a quick tour through IMAX reveal. Now let's see what did we actually gain. So I started out with this reality check. Suppose you'd like to remix a presentation after this conference. And I said that, well, maybe you obtain a PDF version. Now with the approach that I presented, well, you don't have to worry about PDF anymore. Instead, you can focus on the contents that you'd like to remix. Then I said, well, maybe you obtain a PowerPoint slide source file. Well, in this case, well, let's exchange lightweight markup languages, which you can edit with any software and which can then be rendered into different target formats. You just talked about HTML presentations, but PDF, for example, is also possible. Then I started out with revising the contents in a silo. And I presented an approach to you that is rooted in collaboration using version control systems that really scale up in software development to projects with thousands of people. So that is what I wanted to present to you. I'm through with the slides. Thanks for your attention. And I'd like to hear whether they're questions. Thank you so much, Jens. This, I think, is still leaving me on the very edge of my comfort zone. I think there are so many people that need to hear this presentation. And I think, and I'm hoping you're willing to share it in the Discord channel as well. And some of the links to the GitLab and the paper that you mentioned in the presentation would be very helpful. So, Martina, I hope your question was answered. And I'm very happy to see Jonathan here. I was just sending you a tweet and hoping that you would connect. So I think this was important with some of the work that we do with Creative Commons and the copy-paste nightmare that is created with Creative Commons licensing. Also, maybe adding to the question by Martina, I mean, this presentation that I'm showing here right now is created from such a lightweight markup language. So the presentation that I showed in between, I had this tiny snippet of source code, how that really looks like in my editor. And I'm currently viewing that from what's presenting that from my browser. And with the link on the first slide, you could also follow along in your own browser. So that is an example. And as I said, if you go to OER.GitLab.io, then also you find resources that I generated with this approach. Thank you for that. There's a question whether that is only for presentations or also textbooks. Well, you can, this art mode, I use that for all my writing. I also use that to write papers. You can also, so the typical approach there would be that you translate the art mode sources to latex files and then generate PDF from there. For example, for this presentation, there's also a PDF version that is generated automatically via latex translation. Yeah, let me try actually there is something hiding here. In this, I don't think that I can paste something into the chat here. So I can see the comments, but I don't see an area for really pasting. So if you go to... Sorry, Janice, if you post it in the private chat and I'll do copy and paste into... I'll put it in both Discord and maybe on Twitter so people can follow it. Oh, there it is. Got it. Okay, and I'll post this both on Twitter and in the Discord channel. Okay, thank you. Okay, you're welcome. Any other final questions or comments from folks that are in the session? If not, thank you so much, Janice, for sharing openly and giving us a lot of food and a lot of for thought and a lot of new things to learn. I have not explored GitLab before, so this is definitely worth a look. Okay, yeah, thank you. Thanks for inviting me here and it has been a pleasure so far enjoying this conference. Thanks.


What's going on in El Salvador? Is they're able to pay back their loan to maturity, which is today, of $800 million. Also, we're going to take a look at how banks are turning their back on crypto users like you and I. So let's just jump into it. So first things first, we've got Naebu Khalili nailed it. And of course, he's the president of El Salvador. And he put out a pretty good tweet, which I didn't realize was going on until I saw it. And he says, look, in the past year, almost every legacy international news outlet, mainstream, mainstream media said that because of our Bitcoin bet, El Salvador was going to default on its debt by January 2023, since we had $800 million bond maturing today. Right now, literally hundreds of articles. And I'm sure a person like that is going to keep keep notes and keep records of who bets against you. And he says, look, they all said that without striking an IMF news deal, we're going to be able to unable to pay our 2023 bond because our Bitcoin losses. And he says, I got the receipts.  There's a full page spread of New York Times creating the narrative that El Salvador was broke and going to default. I call them out at the time. But of course, we're going to believe us. Who's going to believe us? And I have an international news outlet and their economic geniuses. And of course, he takes a look at the article there. Well, we just paid in full $800 million plus interest. But of course, nobody is covering the story. I don't think you're going to see the story anywhere else because it's not a very enticing glamorized story. Negative cells in the news. And of course, positive really doesn't do too much. It's only move the needle. So when we talk about these positive things, you're not going to see it. You only see it on channels like mine and some other ones, a handful of ones that are out there. And he says, I just found one. Yes, one in Spanish from Columbia. They lie and lie and lie. When their lives are exposed, they go in silence mode. And of course, CZ is of course like, oh, heck, pretty good job. So the thing is like this, we have to be aware that this is going to keep happening. And we know it's going to keep happening.  But I found it very interesting that they said that everything is going to was going to default. It was going to be just a catastrophe. And then there were some problems. And of course, here we are, $800 million later, paid off in full. So let me tell you what you think about that in the comment section. And then for some more good news is also this Shanghai upgrade, a shadow fork is going live. Now this isn't the actual hard fork, which is the Shanghai hard fork, which is supposed to a lot of people who are staking their Ethereum to be able to collect their rewards and also on stake. But it looks like things are moving the right direction. So Ethereum users are one step closer to accessing the $26 billion worth of ETH stake from the world's largest smart contract network. Now, I don't know if this is going to lead to a dip in the price as people sell off their Ethereum, but I got to tell you, if you're able to stake your Ethereum back when this was actually available over a year ago, and now the Shanghai upgrade is just about to come out, if you did it all the way back there, you had no idea when you would be able to un-stake and collect your rewards. So me personally, I think these are more the die-hard Ethereum evangelists that are really getting into it. So I don't know if it's going to move the needle, but that's why dollar cost average, because it's not just individuals that have done this. Also, of course, on crypto exchanges, you're able to somewhat stake your Ethereum. And then once that gets pulled out, then of course you can sell if you want to. I'm not for sure if maybe some people are going to take profits along the way, but I don't think it's going to be the maximum, like people may think. But again, that could be wrong. On Monday, Ethereum's core developers announced the successful deployment of the first mainnet shadow fork designed to test the readiness of ETH, withdrawal capability, and this is going to launch by March. Mainnet shadow forks are full-dress rehearsals of system upgrades. So things moving in the right direction. I like to see that, and that is positive news. On top of the facts, some more good stuff. We have the BlockFi, or excuse me, Genesis, went into chapter 11. There's been some big back and forth between the Winklevye twins and Gary Silbert, who is the CEO of Digital Currency Group, which is one of the subsidiaries, or Genesis is one of the subsidiaries of Digital Currency Group. But now it looks like lawyers are pretty optimistic. So Crypto Learned Genesis optimistic about resolving creditor disputes, and they state this. The lawyers themselves are confident about resolving their disputes with creditors this week with the stated goal of emerging from chapter 11 by the end of May. Let me just quick math real quick. February, March. So that's four months. If they can pull off that, that would be amazing. I don't really have much faith in anybody who goes into chapter 11. Just take a look at what's happening with Celsius and Voyager. Well, maybe if Voyager is going to get bought out by Binance, that actually gets going through. But who knows? But I find it's optimistic and good that the lawyers are like, yeah, we can do this, and it's going to take only four months. So we'll see how it all works out. So those are the good parts, the good stories. But I have to give you some balance about what also is going on in the industry, which is this.  And this was a Yahoo Finance article, the banking industry is turning its back on Crypto, adding insult to injury for the ruling sector. And every time I see these stories, the first thing I think about is that statement from a quote from Mahatma Ghani.  And when I always read these stories, initially, that's what I think of. But in all honesty, I don't think that's what it is. I think really what this comes down to is that, I'll be honest with you, thanks for greedy.  And what's happening here is that they're losing money because of the different shenanigans that were going on with FTX and the bankruptcies and people losing funds. So I don't know if it is that. I mean, the mainstream media we talked about with the other part, other story, I understand. They're probably just like, we don't want to cover it because we're not sensationalism and we've already done our damage. But here, I'm just going to read the article and then have you make your own decision. So this is what's going on. Banks did a lot of promotions for crypto users. And the strategy paid off during crypto's boom cycle 2021. But now two major crypto banks, Silvergate and signature having second thoughts through the blows to their balance sheets and regulatory uncertainty. Chief example is signature bank, which established itself as a crypto ally with nearly a quarter of its 103 billion in deposits coming from crypto firms. So you're looking at $25 billion roughly, $26 billion is coming from people like you and me as you deposit and want to use that to buy crypto in different exchanges. Unfortunately, finance just sent a notice to customers that signature would no longer process swift fiat transactions for individuals of less than 100,000 starting at the beginning of February. And when I saw this, I was like, oh, that's pretty awful. You know, I thought maybe it was going to be pretty, you know, just horrendous, but not really. The company Silvergate added that it was looking to find our signature, excuse me, signature says the company added that was looking to find other solutions. And that only excuse me, this is Binance talking, Binance stated that it was looking to find other solutions and say that only 0.01% of its average monthly users are serviced by signature banks. So even though we think that's a lot of money in the grand scheme of things in the quadrillion of dollars that are sloshing out there, it's not a big deal. Signature has already been scaling back its crypto exposure announcing in December that it was shrink as the positive had a crypto by 8 billion to 10 billion. Its share price had dropped by over 65% since February. So if you understand, since February of 2022, it has lost as far as its stock price, its share price over 65%. And this is of course, because investors understand that these are all crypto investors. So they're like, I don't really trust you. I don't really know what's going on. So we're going to take it off. Then the bank has to respond. They go, whoa, wait, it was great in 2021 when that happened. But since there's some some turbulence, we're going to pull out. And that's just how it is.  We are not a crypto bank. And we want that to come across loud and clear. That's Joe DiPallo, the CEO signature CEO. And of course, yeah, they're going to distance. But I guarantee you, when the bull run comes back, guess what they're going to be saying? We loved you guys the whole time. Come on over here. We'll give you some kind of discount to come on in and we'll make things super easy. We loved you the whole time. Kiss, kiss, mooch, mooch. That's just how it is. Silvergate, another crypto friendly bank reported a 1 billion loss for the quarter 2022 with 90% of the banks deposit base coming from crypto firms. So again, this to me, I mean, it could be this that they're trying to fight us. But in all honesty, I think it's just a balance sheet. Let me think about that in the comments section. But I think it just comes down to regulation. And unfortunately, this is what we have. So on this channel, I've been a little bit, I want some regulation just a little bit. But I know we're going to overshoot. I understand. But let's just make it simple. And this is this kind of sums it all up. New York regulators were in crypto companies against co-mingling customer funds. You don't understand co-mingling is where they take your funds. And of course, they're operating expenses and their funds kind of co-mingling. They do whatever they want with it. That's what they did with FTX. They've used your funds to buy their employees' houses. Very simple. And New York doesn't want that. Unfortunately, New York has also the career of the bit license, which is pretty much a hindrance to the entire sector. Here's what's happened. The new set of guidelines that New York put out applies to companies that operate in New York State and hold a bit license. What they're saying here is this, regulators advise custodians, that would be the exchanges, to keep digital assets that belong to others separate from those that belong to the custodian itself. I think we can agree that's not a bad deal. Keep stuff separate. I don't want you to use my Bitcoin. Well, I don't ever leave it on exchanges anymore anyhow. So it doesn't matter. But the ones that do, I don't want you to use that to buy people's houses or to pay for your operating expenses or whatever you do with that to keep your crappy business afloat, separate them, and then we should be okay. Both on-chain and in the custodian's internal books while maintaining appropriate records. It also asserts that assets under the control of a custodian should only be held for the purpose of safekeeping and custodians bull, not thereby establish a debtor-creditor relationship with the customer, which is kind of what Celestius did as they took all our funds and said, hey, thanks for giving me your funds. Now we'll do what we want with it, even though the CEO would come on channels like mine and go, it's your funds, it's yours. We just are here for you in the community. We don't do anything.  So that's what we have as far as regulation. And I got to tell you, just to be crystal clear, the bit license that they do with New York is just overstepping the boundaries. I understand that's going to happen. But that's the whole thing. I think what's going to happen is this. It's a good thing that we're in discussions and we send people up to the hill, talk to Congress and say, Congress is going to want, and regular is going to want one thing. We're going to want this other thing. And hopefully, we can meet in the middle.  We just got to figure out what it is that we want, what it is that they want and come to middle, because nobody ever gets 100% what they want. We just want to do that, move forward, tell me the rules so I can bend the rules to my whim. And that's it. So look, that takes care of today's stories. So look, if you liked today's video, give it a thumbs up and consider subscribing. Everything we talk about on this channel is time sensitive. So if you'd like to subscribe, do these things every day. But that is it. So thanks so much for stopping by. I do appreciate you. And I'll see you on the next one.


Luxurymme on hyvää. Täällä on tärkeää, joka ei saa sen jälkeen. Ropes on tärkeää asioita, jota voidaan hyvää ja hyvää kliivää. Suomessa voidaan yhdistää luokaa ja hyvää kliivää asioita suomalaiset suomalaiset suomalaiset. Suomalaiset suomalaiset suomalaiset suomalaiset. Joten, miten tehdään tämä? How can we make this happen? We are connecting peer-to-peer lenders and renters with each other. We have already many earning hundreds of euros or even thousands of euros by renting out their wardrobes to others. Also we can see also a big portion of our users to convert to fashion rental. They have rented never before but now they cannot think about any other way to consume fashion. So let me show you this with a couple of examples. Here we have couple of cases that dress by Norma Kamali and shoes from Miu Miu. Both of these cases has given the initial investment back to their owners just in a short period of time. For example the Norma Kamali dress, the original retail price is 200 euros and the rental price is 10 euros a day. Also the Miu Miu shoes, the original price being 500 euros and the rental price only 14 euros a day. Both of these has given the initial investment or even double it. So if anyone in the audience has heard ever the question like can fashion be an investment, the ropes community has shown yes it can. Finally we have a motivation to actually invest in quality pieces instead of fast fashion. Also on the other hand from the demand side why we have seen so big growing demand on the fashion rental. So here's an example. We know the struggle of many who want a variety in style without breaking the bank. We might have different kind of events with specific dress codes and we might feel that okay again I have to buy something new but not anymore. For example this outfit here, the retail price of this outfit is 2155 euros but the daily rental price for the whole outfit is only 45 euro a day. There is no need to buy or even own everything we wear. We have seen, we have had an exponential organic growth in the past few months since opening our service. The ropes is a community driven platform and our community is at the core at everything we do. We have many cases even on a weekly basis or even daily basis we are hearing from our community members that when they have met each other they have became even friends with each other. So we are really having like an engaged community fostering real life connections. Also something special with our community is that we have attract as well even in the biggest influencers here in Finland to join, open their wardrobes, inviting their audiences just to their rope service just because they want to be associated with the community. Also they want to monetize their wardrobe just like any of us. So this is the rope today. We are growing day by day bigger and better. At the same time, the fashion industry is shifting from a linear economy to a circular one. Trivium buy both regulatory changes and shifting consumer behavior. This transition is already evident in the significant increase in consumer interest in use clothing. So both now today and in the future ropes is the number one destination where people can access quality and luxury at the most affordable prices. So join the chains today, download our mobile application and start the most stylish era of your life. On behalf of our team, I want to thank you all and I'm really excited about the upcoming discussions we are going to have after this. Thank you.


And the South West Executives of the New Nigeria People's Party NNPP Declare that it contracts with the former governor of current state and the party presidential candidate, Senator Rabiu Musa Kwan-Kwansoh, expired after the conclusion of the presidential election. NNPP South West Executives made the declaration at its meeting that held in Ibadon, the oil state capital where they passed a vote of confidence on the founder and leader of the party, Dr. Boniface Okichuku, as the life member of the party. But unfortunately, this group of hijackers, political terrorists, calling themselves unconvincing that they can come and hijack the party. And that's the reason why we are here that we say no to political terrorism. We say no to political bondage. We say no to political hijackers. That we, we really mean Nigeria People's Party, we are ready and determined to ensure that the new Nigeria of the future and the future of Dr. Boniface Okichuku reality. NNPP has been existing for the past two decades and a vote, even before the entrance of Kwansoh. So now, if the people like Kwansoh decided to believe, and to live as they have been already experienced, you will now discover that new people that are even, more powerful and more politically savvy than Kwansoh will come in. And before you know it, a new Nigeria has been voted for. We are not talking about Kakasiyan. Those are the Kakasiyans and it's a good business party. So, I think all things are feeding with that. I don't think they are in a party anymore. They are good for people. We don't have a fashion party anymore. And they are really fees of NNPP, not good of Kakasiyan.


I've heard a voice in the background. She goes by the name Jesus Girl. The name is quite, quite interesting. She's going to be telling us more about it. Karimusana, your camera is number four. I am excited. Yes, introduce yourself, aka Zako Zote, from back in the day till date. And your government. Okay, I go by jesusgirl.ke, aka Dora. If you want to call me by my mother's name, Maulo. Maulo. Obuaka. Maulo Obuaka, what does Maulo mean? I shall revisit. You shall revisit. By the end of the show. Okay, okay, I'm sorry. But it's something nice. It's something nice for sure. All right, so Dora the Explorer. Oh, you're just Dora, you don't explore. I've grown up with that one. Dora the Explorer. Always. Were you a fan of the cartoon character? I don't even think growing up, there was Dora the Explorer. We had like three channels. Okay. You know, I grew up with Dora the Explorer. That means you're not bad. You are lighter. I watched it much later in life. That means kids have today. How did you get that insight? Imagine. Imagine that. Shout out. Karimusana on social Friday. Please share with them your social media handles so they can stalk you while we do this. Okay, on Instagram, it's jesusgirl.ke and on YouTube, it is jesusgirl, period. Jesusgirl, period, straight. Lockdown, straight. All right, I'd like to take you back, but before I take you back, let's start in the present. Jesus Girl is quite a name. Yeah. Where does it come from? Why Jesus Girl? And just tell me everything. Yeah. I need to know. Okay, okay. My name is Chanao Ayesu. I am a girl that belongs to Jesus. Jesus is taking all of them. Jesus is taking all of them. Anatunini, you know? But basically why I called myself Jesus Girl was because I feel like in this day and age, a lot of people are downplaying or afraid to declare their stance when it comes to being a Christian. Not only that, but people have this idea of what a Christian girl, millennial girl, should look like. You know, the long skirts, Zinaninim, down on the ground. Crossex aquarium, kaza saam. You know? And then Polanex, lasima zikwe, we see on the shingo. You know, just these false ideas of what a Christian girl should look like. And because of those false ideas, people are really put off from Christianity. So my whole thing. It pushes people away from the blood. Yeah, I like that, from the blood. Because people are looking at do's and don'ts as opposed to relationship. You know, religion versus relationship. So basically I wanted to show, you can be young, you can be trendy, you can be cool, you can do your makeup. I love it. And you can still love Jesus and serve Him. So that is a message you're preaching, that is how you're serving the Lord. By just showing this journey can be cool as well. Exactly. And that is the reason for the name. Hallelujah. Amen. Wow, that's deep right there. Jesus girl is in the building. Check out on Instagram as well. Facebook, on Twitter, Kukamawai254 channel. And our topic of conversation is the most embarrassing thing in your browser history. Jesus girl is going to be sharing with us as well. Right, I'm taking you back now. Before you were Jesus girl, you're one of the most promising film seas and singers in the country. You've worked with the A-Lease film seas in the country, from M-D-Q to Ecstatic, who, whom I'm a very big fan of, the STL. You have a song together on YouTube. Check it out by the way, go to YouTube and check it out. This is not made up. We never make up stuff.  Yeah, at that time in my life, I was 17, young and... 17. 17. 17, my last year of high school. You know, I was a superstar. Just living my life. I love music. I love to sing, to rap. And so at that time, that's what I was doing. How did you meet all these guys? Just connections here and there. At 17? Yes, at 17. You had the confidence to work up to STL. Me, Nihasla.  And so I reached out to people. In fact, through social media, still that time it was mainly Facebook, but reached out in that space. And I was in a studio, so my producers had connect. And that's how I got hooked up to STL, Ecstatic, Madonna, Drama Queen, and other artists. It got to a point you put that down, yeah? Yeah. What made you stop doing the music? Well, I was partying. I loved... Like a rockstar. Yes, so my whole motto was work hard, play hard. But as I continued to play hard, I played harder. You know, I continued to play harder. And so it affected the work. And I just found myself not interested. And I lost confidence. And I just felt like, you know... Yeah, rapping and singing is nice, but it's not as nice as, you know. As some other things that you were... As some other things that I was discovering at the time that made me. Okay, so you have... There's a face of your life that you were addicted to drugs. Which one came first? The music or the... I think they came at around the same time. You know, as I entered the studio, there was this culture of just turning up. Like you could go into the studio and there was always... I heard they call it the zone, man. Get in the zone. I don't know what this zone is.  You're neither on earth or neither in heaven. You're down. You're not there. Crawl for two, come on. So they came at the same time, drinking and partying as well as being in the studio. Plus I felt like when I'm rapping, you know, you asked about the confidence. I found that alcohol and weed and cigarettes would give me that... You know, that confidence. So they came at the same time. They came at the same time. All right, so at what point did you feel like, okay, this is becoming a problem. This is no longer the zone anymore. This is no longer the fun times. We call them fun times. This is no longer fun times. Did you discover it yourself or a close person?  I think it was definitely noted by other people first. And that's the thing about addiction. People can see you have a problem, but you are due on you. Like, it's like you can't see yourself. Yeah, you just feel like I'm on top of things, but people can see you like, you did this yesterday.  So definitely other people saw the problem first and I got to see it later on. You got to see it later on? Yeah. All right, when you were telling me about music not being very interesting to you at some point, do you blame the drugs as well also? Yeah, for sure. Definitely. So these drugs are responsible for taking somebody in the zone, making amazing music and then also making you lose your interest in the music. Exactly. What is this?  So you're saying I'll only drink this much. You're not even taking a lot. So basically it's a side thing, but eventually it becomes the thing. So I find if I get to the studio, there's no mzinga there. Nafanyanini, like what am I doing in the studio? So basically the point of going to the studio now became drinking and whatever. So that became the object of my focus. Okay, so as an artist, it's very important to understand what you're doing and why you're doing it. Exactly, exactly. Okay. And also having the confidence in yourself where you're like, I don't need a substance to give me confidence in my ability or people say to get creative, you must tune. That's my own tune. Yes, there's so many. You feel you're going to buzz. You know. But you should be able to on your own have that creative flow. I feel like. I like that. Rehab four times. Oh yeah. Wow. If Rehab was a school. Let's not say that. Just say me. I love your home. I love your home. All right. So take me into the first time in Rehab because for you to go back the second time you relapsed. Yeah. So tell me, why did you relapse the first time? I relapsed. What can you blame? The fact that I wasn't willing to change. You know, something about change, it has to come from yourself. Like no one can force you. You know, no one can will you into change. It's actually you yourself coming to realize that, hey, this thing is not pelikaing me well. So what am I going to do? I need to do something about it. So for me, I just always felt like I've been promised stuff.  You'll do this, you'll do that. And so I didn't really internally want to change. And because of that, I always felt like I can stop smoking weed and cigarettes and all this stuff. But, you know, let me drink kidogo. Let me just have my glass of... Give me that thing. Mm. That thing. That thing. Don't spesive. Yeah, don't spesive. We don't need spesive.  So I thought, you know, I can stop all these other things, like all my friends are drinking. So I'm not just like, you know... Just a taste of it. Just kidogo, kidogo. But the decisions you make when you're sober versus the decisions you make when you're drunk... I guess you are completely different. So just the first... When you take the first glass of whatever, it will probably lead you to take another drink that you probably wouldn't have taken if you were sober. Exactly. So that is your first relapse story. Yeah. And that really happened the second and the third time. It starts with the alcohol, just the alcohol. Let me just get some alcohol. Yeah. And then it leads to the other drugs that you used to do before you went to rehab. Yeah. But one thing I didn't mention as well is when I was getting into this music space and I was starting to experiment, I got into a relationship with an older guy. So he was 22 at the time. He was actually my producer. I was 17. And that exposed me to so many things. So even as I talk about escalating in terms of use, it's because I moved away from student budget. You know, 17 is still when I take a mirror, the whatever of the parents. So I moved away from that and I was able to drink on a regular basis, smoke on a regular basis. Exactly. So even the times that I would get sober, I was still in this relationship, right? And he was turning up, he was drinking, he was smoking. And so... It's very hard to smell it and not, but especially if you tasted it before. Exactly, exactly. So that turned out to be a six-year relationship. And eventually, even when I was now coming out of drugs for good, that was one of the things that I had to make a decision.  Love. Yeah. Or me. Say the love of a survival. But you picked survival. Yeah, I picked survival. And you're alive and kicking today. Yep. All right, so relationships are also very important when it comes to addiction. So important.  All right. True, true, true. Okay, I feel that. I usually say that our relationship is so important in that it can either take you towards your destiny or completely pull you away from your destiny or your purpose. So it's very important to pick them wisely.  You, have you seen like, have you seen like there are these artists, like let's take someone like Ciara, right? Ciara, when she was with Future, but says Ciara with the person she's with, now that's rugby player, Russell C.J. But Future is a special case. No, do you like him? No, he's just, he's toxicity. He's toxicity. But okay, yeah, maybe it's just Future. But really, if you look at different, like you can become a different person because of the person you're with. Like you, you can find a girl who will make you party every day. Then you can find another one who makes you come to work on time. Like you just find you have your stuff together.  Most of the time people will, will not go for the one who will make you go to work in the back. Exactly, or go to church, nothing like that. I see. Yes, we are with Jesus Girl in the studio. This is social Friday on Why In The Morning. Remember, the conversation is still on Facebook. And you can direct your questions to her if you have any about these topics that we are touching on with her. All right, so the fourth time, let's keep to the fourth time you went to rehab and this is the last time you went to rehab. How long ago was this first? I went in 2018. Yeah, November 2018. So it's a one-year program which is quite different from what I had known before. Most programs are three month, three month but this is a one-year faith-based rehabilitation program. Faith-based. Faith-based. So you thought the word in the process also. Exactly. We believe that the word of God is what sets someone free as opposed to do, don't do, do, don't do. Yeah, and I realized I tried the other. That's a lot of you because the word of God is also a lot of do's and don'ts.  But the thing about with God, you're not being manipulated or you're not doing things out of fear. It's because of the love you have for Him that drives you to just align yourself.  Satan, I will you. So faith-based it is. All right, so this is how you got to be Jesus ago? This is, yeah, it definitely played a big role in my being Jesus girl, if I could say that. Because I just was like, you know what, no matter what I do going forward, I never want to lose my foundation.  I didn't think, oh, I'm going to now do social media and all this stuff. Media tours inspire, talk to people. Exactly, yeah. Well, I thought I would speak to people, but I didn't anticipate the response. I didn't think by now my platform on Instagram would be having almost 40,000 people. I didn't think I would be having subscribers or all this stuff. So it's very easy to lose yourself when over the span of just a few months, you find yourself in a space where, you know, it's just like. People are watching. You know, people are watching. Yeah, they're people you will look up to. You're being approached by brands, you're making money. That can be a stumbling block if you're not careful. Money is coming in as well, huh?  It is what it is, bro. It is what it is. I like, okay. So the fourth time was the last time and that was last year. I know it. All right, I'd like to know how this affected your relationship with your family. Well, definitely it put a strain when I was. When you were the type to say, get the hell out, leave me alone. Or you were the type to listen and just. I mean, I was bad.  I don't even have to preach.  I see, I see. It's a walking testimony right now. I see, I see. It's a walking testimony right now. The place I have come from, let me tell you, I was the type of person who was not able to be told anything. Me, if I want to be bad, I'd rather, I can't be warm, hot or cold. Come, buy, I'm buying. If I'm good, let me be good, you know? So I never used to apologize or means as I'm trying to hide that in Avuta Bank. I was very open. I was very, you know, yeah. So it put a strain on my relationship with my family and I didn't like to be around them because I didn't want anyone. You have two sisters, yeah? Three. Three sisters. Yeah. One has been on set here by the way. Oh, really? Yeah. Oh, okay. Who? Yummy, the yummy one. The yummy mommy. Yeah, so I never used to hang around them because I didn't want someone to tell me, oh, you're smelling like this.  So I used to put quite a distance and obviously those are strained in our relationship. But ever since rebuilding of their relationships has been so amazing, right now it's like. All right. Yeah. There's this saying, never trust a junkie. You've heard it, right? Yeah. You've heard it a number of times. And don't. Oh. Like it's a true one. It's a true one. Don't. Addicts are very manipulative. You know how many things I have lied and gotten away with? I've been to driving school like four times. Oh, my God. Four times. So I used to tell my mom, I failed, but I failed. And that time she's giving me, like, I... That is, the hustle for drug money is very... Exactly, you're only thinking about where will I get my next fix.  That's your body's reaction to not taking the drugs. It affects your emotions as well. Physically. When you're for heroin withdrawal symptoms, I would not wish it on my worst enemy. Like that thing is bad headaches, running stomach, fever, shakes. Like, it's bad. So you're only thinking about where can I get my next fix so I can, through these other symptoms. Thank you very much for that one. Right now you're doing some amazing work with mommy. Yes. It was a very huge part in your recovery and your journey. Tell us more about these rehabilitation programs that you were running and the sentence. Okay, so I served part-time at a facility called Teen Challenge Kenya. That's where I went to. And it's a one-year faith-based program, as I've said, that helps men and women who are going through various life-controlling issues. You know addiction is not see a drug specie. You're like... You're like... Yes, I've seen more. Yes, I've seen more. There's addiction to pornography as well. Yes. So how does that work? You walk in the streets and then you'll be like, I need to watch some. Huh? I need to watch some. I can't wait to get to the house and watch some. Okay. That is what happens. Okay. So if somebody goes to the toilet a number of times, you should be very afraid. I see you. But, okay, at least that's the forms of addiction. Money. Money is a big addiction. And my brother is going in that direction. I will go... I will go to the safari. I will go to the safari. Okay, so there are different forms of addiction. Exactly. At this play, Teen Challenge, should I say cured? Oh. Would you let me know what can? Cured. Okay. All right. Yeah, those types of words.  As we believe, once you're set free, not that people say, oh, me, I'm set free in Tendakwa Club. I can't find her. You know, I just know that is foolishness. But it doesn't mean also now, through life, you tiptoe like, oh, I'm set free. I'm set free. No, like you're free, but you work with wisdom. You put boundaries that help you to stand. You have your self-control. And Jesus helps in that aspect. Exactly. You know, there's a verse that says that it is not by power or by might, but it is by the spirit of the living God. And basically, us as humans, we are not like Jews. But really, we're really just helpless. Yeah. Animals. Animals asa, okay. Yeah, yeah, we're just animals, you know. And so we need the help of God. We cannot do anything. And usually people wait to reach rock bottom, they wanna, like, God, I need your help. But the other time, they're just seeing themselves. Love it, I look, and they don't even talk to God. They don't even call his number. But that's human nature, it's sad, but it's true. So wonderful. So if somebody is living with an addict, somebody is seeing some loved one or a friend or a relative going in, on the part that doesn't seem very promising, how can they get to be part of Teen Talent and how can they get access to the services that you guys are offering them? Just look them straight into their eyes. Okay. So you're able to reach out to Teen Challenge. We have a website. You can just Google Teen Challenge Kenya. Thank God for internet. Everything is at your fingertips. Google Teen Challenge Kenya. Facebook is also Teen Challenge Kenya. You'll be able to find emails and also contact for both the Nairobi centers and the Nakuru Center. Oh, so there's a center in Nairobi and a center in Nakuru. Yes. All right. And you told me it's for ladies. There's one for ladies and there's two centers for men. Or two centers for men and one center for ladies. One for men and one for women and one for men and one for women. No, I'm just kidding. One for women and one for men and one for ladies. Two centers for men and one for ladies. All right, but I like that. Thank you very much for that one. But there's this thing called War on Drags. You've heard of it? Yes. America has its own war on drags. Kenya has its own war on drags. Africa, war on drags, war on drags.  You know, over the counter. Over the counter. See, that's what I'm going to tell you about. What is the secret to winning this war on drags? Has somebody with direct experience with it? Because I think we're just going around it and not actually attacking the real problem. I think the number one way to winning the war on drags is acknowledging the fact that there's a war. There's a battle.   I've gone through a lot of it, too. But the person is at our chat, too. In the phase, not our phase. Phase and you're in a pittier. But really, they are going through it. So I feel like the first thing is acknowledgement. Second thing is realizing that, as I said before, we are powerless, honestly and truthfully, completely powerless. All the power is God's. And then putting measures in place that will remove, would I say remove accessibility? But yeah, more, you know, me, I used to buy alcohol in the store when I was underage. I never used to be asked for ID. Maybe it's because I'm a chick. I don't know. But these things are very important. Now you realize that identification when you're buying alcohol is very important. Exactly, putting measures. Prescription from a doctor when you go to a pharmacy, it's very important. So measures. Exactly. All right. So I think we are going to stop it at that because you need to, you can actually promise to unsideak fun. You remember? Yeah, reading comments. Yes, and another one? Yeah, I. Browser history. We'll revisit that. What can we say? What can we say? We'll revisit that. OK. So let's head straight to Facebook. Jesus girl is in the building. She's going to be helping us to read these comments out loud to the rest of the world. So the question was simple. What is the most embarrassing thing in your browser history? Facebook and Y254. I'm going to add Y254 channel. So the first person is a brio laces. Check it out. This is Jesus girl. Brio laces says, wow, fire.  And why son, brio cutokakisi masimba?
