Welcome back to my channel and welcome if you're new here today. I have a super fun video I'm going to share with you 20 hacks to lose weight that actually work Now some of these you may already know some of these may come as a bit of a surprise But these are literally 20 weight loss hacks that are proven to work and help you lose weight So if you want to hear what hacks I have for you today, stay tuned Number one will come as no surprise to those of us on WW and that is track your food Whether you are on WW or not find some sort of way to track your food It could be on a piece of paper through a calorie counting app like my fitness pal or lose it It could even be done through I track bites, which is a spin-off of the WW app But find a way to track your food There's no other way to know if you are on track staying within your calories points macros Whatever it is that you count unless you track it So take some time every day to track now if you struggle with tracking after every meal Pre-track your food for the day put everything that you're anticipating eating into your tracker at the beginning of the day and Worst case scenario you have to go back in and make a few adjustments But at least your food is tracked and you can make sure that what you're planning to eat Falls within what you're supposed to be eating to be successful on your weight loss journey Number two is only eat when you're sitting down.   Don't skip breakfast It is true my friends that breakfast is the most important meal of the day while we're sleeping Our body is in a fasting mode. So generally when we wake up our body needs some fuel to get us going get us started For the day and to carry us through to our next meal So eating a breakfast that is well-rounded all the food groups a starch a protein of healthy fat is going to keep you full Insatiated and you're a lot less likely to snap on not so good for you foods because you're starving Before lunch gets here. So make sure that no matter what you're eating breakfast every day Number four is eat something before you go to the grocery store. Don't go to the grocery store hungry This is where we get into trouble I've been in trouble. I go to the grocery store hungry. I grab something that looks healthy. I get in the car I scan it.  They're still really high in calories Try to avoid milk-based or creamy dressings Those are the ones that are really loaded with calories and fat try to stick to a more vinaigrette style of dressing and better Yet make your own at home that way you can control the ingredients that are going in there You're making sure that you're not eating less desirable oils that are in prepackaged salad dressings one of my favorite dressings to put together Super easy balsamic vinegar avocado oil or olive oil Whatever you have on hand a bit of Dijon mustard and a little bit of salt and pepper Whisk that up and you have a two smart point salad dressing if you're only using a teaspoon of balsamic and a teaspoon of olive oil And you're also getting in some healthy fats I will be putting out in all things dressings a video so stay tuned for that But it's always best if possible to make your own dressing now if you're out to dinner or you're at the grocery store And you need salad dressing go for the vinaigrette number five is have a goal have a why Make it attainable and make it short term It's always better on any type of weight loss journey to have goals in mind And sometimes those goals can be way out in the far distant future. I want to lose a hundred pounds fifty pounds I want to exercise seven days a week. Those are maybe not attainable right now goals So make sure that the goals that you're making are attainable right now. They're doable now Maybe you want to lose one pound a week or maybe you want to work out three times a week Make some goals stick with those goals and that's going to get you one step closer Next is bulk up your meals with zero point foods fruits and vegetables The zero point foods are designed to be the basis or the foundation of your meals So use them use chicken as the base of your meal bulk that up with some veggies and then add whatever type of Pointed food that you want maybe that's some rice some quinoa some french fries a potato Whatever that may be but use those zero point foods your veggies and your fruits as the basis of your meals and really bulk up The quantity of food that you're eating with fruits and vegetables Your mind is going to tell you that you're eating a lot of food But your stomach and your weight loss is going to know that you ate low calorie good for you Or maybe even zero point foods watch your portion control on the zero point foods That are a little bit more calorie heavy like your meats and your Greek yogurts But really bulk up your meals with zero point foods fruits and veggies Next is don't snack between meals and if you have to have a snack make it a healthy one Drink water sometimes we think we're hungry, but really we're just thirsty So just make sure you're hydrating drinking a lot of water between meals You can even chew gum it gives your mouth that taste it makes your taste buds think that you're eating But it's not putting any calories into your body You can also sip on hot or iced tea with no added sweetener again Your mouth is getting that flavor like it's eating food But you're not ingesting any calories and also make sure you're not eating when you're bored If you find that you're feeling snacky find something to do take a walk get a glass of water Go watch your favorite show find something to do and wait 15 to 20 minutes And if you're still hungry then go have a snack But make sure that whenever you're eating whether it's a snack or a meal You're truly hungry the next one is a big one and one of the main reasons that I love the WW program and that is in order to lose weight you guys we need to eat all three food groups Carbs protein and healthy fats and preferably we should be having all three food groups with every meal So if you are going to have a snack let's say that you want to have a bag of chips for a snack Make sure that you're pairing that with either a healthy fat or a protein So maybe toss in a cheese stick or a hard-boiled egg Or maybe if you're feeling like having a rice cake top it with a little bit of your favorite nut butter Make sure that you're eating the main three food groups with all three meals It's never good to cut out a food group in its entirety Everything in moderation and your biggest success losing weight is going to be eating from all three groups Next is have a simple Workout plan that you can actually stick to don't go guns a blazin and say you're gonna work out seven days a week Because you might but the likelihood of that and life getting in the way is more likely to happen than working out those seven days a week So set up a workout schedule that you know is doable for you every week or most weeks I know life happens But set up a schedule that you think that you can stick with at least 90% of the time for me I like to work out Sunday Tuesday and Wednesday, and then I like to throw another day in there if at all possible But I guarantee myself a workout every Sunday Tuesday Wednesday That is a schedule that I know that I can stick with and I give myself that open Availability to pop in another day if that's what works out with my schedule But pick an exercise you like set up on a schedule you can stick with and do that exercise Next is meal prep and you guys know I am a big proponent of meal prepping I do it every single week. I know sometimes meal prepping just isn't in the cards So make sure that if you're not meal prepping you have easy healthy meals on hand Snacks and meals when you buy your bag of pretzels at the grocery store come home and immediately bag it up into individual Servings when you buy a big tub of cottage cheese at the grocery store come home and divide it out into half of a cup Serving so when you're hungry you grab a bag of your pre-portion pretzels You grab a container of your half of a cup or your one serving of cottage cheese and you enjoy your snack This is going to help you from overeating when you're hungry and also just having meal prepped food or food That's healthy and easy to grab and eat is essential Otherwise we find ourselves roaming our pantry for bags of chips that we can grab boxes of cookies Ice cream bars, whatever your vice may be so make sure that if you're not meal prepping Which is ideal then you're having healthy food and snacks ready to go Next is wear a step tracker wear some sort of fitness watch It is going to buzz beep vibrate at you every hour if you haven't hit 250 steps It tells you if you're active all 12 hours of the day whatever time frame you set up on your fitness tracker It's going to remind you to get in some activity and it's also going to track your activity You can see your resting heart rate rate what your heart rate is when you're in the peak of your workout It's just a great way to stay motivated with activity There are tons of challenges and groups that you can join whether you have a fit fit or an Apple watch or a Garmin whatever fitness tracker you have there's groups and challenges that you can join to keep you motivated I know for me I like to see those fit points go into my ww bank on my app. I love to see that I also like the confetti that falls on my screen in the vibration when I hit 10,000 steps every single day So having some sort of fitness tracker I think it's really important to keep you motivated to keep moving the next one is uber Uber important and this is one that I have to live by This is my ride or die and that is make sure that you get rid of any trigger foods in your house and better yet Don't bring them in your house in the first place now.  So usually once a week I want something sweet But I have learned over my weight loss journey that it is not smart of me to go to my local bakery and buy a Dozen chocolate chip cookies It's better for me to go to my local bakery and buy one chocolate chip cookie that I can indulge On the day that I use my weeklies and I'm not bringing those extra 11 10 however many cookies into my house that's going to call my name later on when I'm trying to stay on track So just avoid bringing the foods into your house that trigger you to overeat See we're certainly not likely to get in our car and drive to the store to pick up our trigger food on a random day So if it's not in your house, you're going to Instinctively reach for better options healthier options and again remember we have snacks Prepped on hand and ready to go. So keep the trigger foods out of your house now The next one is quite interesting and this I actually really like and this is try to stand for three or more hours every day So if you are editing a video then stand and do it if you're on the phone Stand up if you're watching TV every commercial stand up You are going to burn an extra hundred and fifty calories a day by making sure that you're standing three or more hours every day I think it's a great goal to shoot for and remember if you have a fitness tracker It's going to track if you're moving every hour So the movement of getting up and standing and maybe pacing around is going to add some steps to your fitness tracker as well So I like this idea and I think it's super doable no matter what type of situation you're in Just make sure instead of sitting you're standing to do some of your regular daily tasks Next is eat a lot of fiber not only does fiber help keep you regular I know TMI, but it does also 30 grams or more of fiber every day is going to make you feel satiated in full And it is proven to help in weight loss. You can get fiber from so many good whole foods Some of those are almonds apples bananas Avocados chickpeas you name it most fruits vegetables and whole grains are going to give you a big dose of fiber It's going to help you keep full satiated and regular next is make sure you're getting enough sleep Seven to nine hours of sleep is ideal when we are sleep deprived Our body produces cortisol which triggers our brain that we're hungry and we're far more likely to overindulge and snack on some Of those and not so healthy foods when we're sleep deprived. I know I am not reaching for the broccoli when I'm tired I'm reaching for the sweets the chips the foods that are going to give me that immediate little bit of sugar high But that I have an immediate drop from there. It's just not healthy and it's not going to help you in your weight loss journey So make sure that you're getting seven to nine hours of sleep every day. I promise you It's going to help you overall lose the weight that you want to lose This one is really really important and that is don't skip meals Don't starve yourself.  Make sure you're eating at least three meals every day breakfast lunch and dinner And if you're hungry between breakfast and lunch or lunch and dinner make sure that you're having a snack Don't starve your body We definitely don't want our body to go into any type of mode where it feels like we're not going to feed it It's then going to hold on to everything that we put in our body, which is going to stunt our weight loss It's important to keep your body going your metabolism going by eating enough if you starve yourself You're going to ruin or drop your metabolism And you're going to really struggle to lose weight because your metabolism is so far gone so make sure you're constantly fueling your body Keeping your metabolism rev and making sure that you're not eating the not-so-healthy foods because you're having your at least three Well-rounded meals every day Get your chocolate fix my friends, but do it in a healthy way Back to kind of a cookie scenario Don't go to the grocery store and buy a whole bag of your favorite chocolates. I love the Hershey's milk chocolate I really like the little mini ones if I went to the store and bought an entire bag of those They would be gone within a couple of days So for me I buy chocolates that I can portion out I'll buy maybe a big bag of chocolates and I'll pre-portion out what I want to have every day How many points calories do I want to spend every day on my favorite chocolate? Don't deprive yourself of your favorite foods Just pre-portion them out and have them available in portioned amounts so you don't overeat Now if you are a chocolate lover try cacao powder cacao nibs Those are chocolate from nature that are actually really really good for you I love adding cacao nibs to my oatmeal to my smoothie bowls They add that little bit of crunch and that chocolatey flavor and it's actually really good for you and really good in smart points So if you want chocolate my friends have chocolate just have a portion of it Next is move for a few minutes every single hour. You heard me, right? Every hour every hour get up and move now.   It keeps our body going. It keeps our muscles going We never want to be so sedentary that we lose the muscles that we have and we also don't want to be so sedentary That we're not even burning enough calories to offset what we're eating So make sure by just setting a little alarm on your phone on your alarm clock Maybe on your computer wherever you spend the majority of your day so that it reminds you to get up once an hour And just make a move a little move is better than no move this next one I love and I am the queen of this and this is a finding healthier alternatives to your favorite foods You guys know that I am the queen of this I find non-wwe friendly recipes. I tweak them and make them Wwe friendly. I would not be able to stay on this journey if I wasn't able to have my favorite foods I don't want to feel deprived. I don't want to feel that I'm on a diet I want it to be a lifestyle and something that I can stick with so I find my favorite foods And I find a healthier option. So for example, I love french fries any kind of french fry regular fry waffle fries Sweet potato fries you name it. I love it. So for me instead of buying a bag of frozen fries I'm gonna make my own at home. I'm gonna chop up a sweet potato I'm gonna chop up chop up a red or a yellow or a Yukon gold potato I'm gonna throw them in my oven or my air fryer season them the way I want them seasoned control the oil control the salt And I'm still going to be able to have french fries just a healthier version of them This is going to help you sustain long term It's going to help you turn your weight loss journey into a lifestyle that you'll stick with therefore the weight You lose will stay off and number 20 is put your workout clothes out the night before That way when you wake up in the morning the first thing you see are your workout clothes If you're stuck at home then go ahead and throw those workout clothes on do what you need to do around your house But it's going to be a visual reminder every time you look in the mirror or look down that it's time for your workout So this is something I've been diligently doing since I've been working from home and the success has been amazing I've been getting three plus workouts in every single week So put out that visual reminder first thing in the morning that you have a workout on your schedule So that is it my friends.

From around the globe, it's theCUBE with digital coverage of IBM Think 2021, brought to you by IBM. Welcome back to theCUBE's coverage of IBM Think 2021 virtual. I'm John Furrier, your host of theCUBE. We're virtual this year, in real life soon, right around the corner as we come out of COVID. We've got a great guest, a CUBE alumni, Jerry Cuomo, IBM Fellow, VP, CTO for IBM Automation. Jerry, great to see you. Been on since the early days of the CUBE. Good to see you. Yeah, John, thrilled to be back again. Thank you. What I love about our conversations, one is you're super technical. You've got patents under your belt, you're on the cutting edge. You've been involved in web services and web technologies for a long, long time. You're constantly riding the wave. And also you're a creator of a great podcast called The Art of Automation, which is the subject of this discussion. As automation becomes central in cloud operations and hybrid cloud, which is the main theme of this event this year and the industry. So great to see you. First, give us a little background for the folks that may not know you about your history with IBM and who you are. Yeah, so thanks, John. So I'm Jerry Cuomo. I've been with IBM for about three decades. And I started my career at IBM Research in Yorktown at the dawn of the internet. And I've been incredibly fortunate, as you mentioned, to be on the forefront of many technology trends over the last three decades, internet software, middleware, including being one of the founding fathers of WebSphere software. I recently helped launch the IBM Blockchain Initiative and now all about AI powered automation, which actually brings me back to my roots of studying AI in graduate school. So it's kind of come full circle for me, you know, really enjoying the topic. You know, it's funny you mentioned AI in graduate school. I was really kind of into AI when I was an undergraduate and get a master's degree in computer science. I kind of went the MBA route. But if you think about what was going on in the 80s during those systems times, a lot of the concepts of systems programming and cloud operations kind of gel well together. So you got this confluence of computer science and engineering, aka now DevOps, DevSecOps coming together. This is actually a really unique time to bring back the best of the best concepts, whether it's AI and systems and computer science and engineering into automation. Could you share your view on this? Because you're in a unique position. You've been there, done that, now you're in the cutting edge. What's your thoughts? Yeah, absolutely John. And just when you think of automation and time, automation is not new. Literally, if you go into Wikipedia and you look up automation, you see patents and references to like steam engine regulators at the dawn of the industrial era, right? So automation has been around. And in its simplest form, automation, whether it was back then, whether it was in the 80s or today, it's about applying technology that performs, that uses like technology software to perform tasks that were once exclusively done by us humans, right? So, but now what we're seeing is AI coming into the picture and changing the landscape in an interesting way. But I think at its essence, automation is this two-step dance of both eliminating repetitive mundane tasks that help reduce errors and free up our time. So we get back the gift of time, but also helps, it's not about taking jobs away. At that point, as I said, it's a two-step dance. That's step one. But if you stop there, you're not getting the full value. Step two is to augment our skills, right? And to use automation to help augment our skills.  So whether it was back in the steam engine times or today with AI, automation is evolving with technology. And it's interesting too. It's, as a student of the history of the computer industry as you are, and now a creator with your podcast, which we'll get to in a second, you're starting to see the intersection of these concepts to not be spoke as much as they used to be. You got transformation, digital transformation and innovation are connected and scale. If you think about those three concepts, they don't stand alone anymore. They can stand alone, but they work better together. Transformation is the innovation. Innovation provides cloud scale. So if you think about automation, automation is powering this dynamic of taking all that undifferentiated heavy lifting and moving the creativity and the skillset into higher integrated areas. Can you share your? Yeah, no, right on there. When you talk about transformation, geez, look around us. The pandemic has made transformation and specifically digital transformation the default. So everything is digital, whether it's ordering a pizza, visiting a doctor through telemedicine or this Zoom, WebEx based workplace that we live in. But picture a telemedicine environment, talking about transformation and going digital. With 10x more users, they can't hire 10x more support staff and think about it. I forgot my password. Does this work on my version of the Apple iPhone or all of that kind of stuff? So their support desks are lit up, right? So as they scale digitally, automation is the relief that comes into play, which is just in time, right? So the digital transformation needs automation. And John, I think about it like this. Businesses like cars have become computers, right? So they're programmable. So automation software, just like in the cars, it makes the car self-driving. I think about the Tesla Model 3, which I recently test drove. So with this digital acceleration, digital opens the door for automation. And now we can muse about a self-driving business. We can muse about maybe that's step one, right? That's the remove repetitive work, but maybe we can actually augment business to have an autopilot. So it doesn't need us there all the time to drive. And that's the scale that you talked about. That's the scale we need. So automation is really like the peanut butter and chocolate. Digital is the peanut butter, automation is the chocolate. They go well together and they produce amazing tastes. You know, that's a really interesting insight. And I will just put an exclamation point on that because you mentioned self-driving business, you're implying, you said the computer, the business is a computer. So if you just think about that mind blowing concept for a second, if it's a computer, what's the operating system and what's the suite of applications that are on top of it? So okay, let's go in the old days at a windows machine and you had office, which was a system software, application software construct. Okay, if you map that to the entire company, you're talking about Red Hat and IBM kind of come working together, kind of connects the dots a little bit on what Red Hat could be because they're an operating system company. So if hybrid cloud is the system and hybrid, then you got the application suite all software for the business. That's right, that's right. And if you listen to anything these days about what IBM stands for, it's hybrid cloud and think Red Hat as kind of the core element of that with OpenShift and AI, right? And both of those really matter in terms of automation. And maybe I'll come back to the hybrid cloud and Red Hat thing in a second, but let's just talk about Watson and AI, which is the application. And you mentioned scale, which I'm so glad you did. AI could help scale automation. And the trick is that automation sometimes gets stuck, right? It gets stuck when it's working with data that is noisy or unstructured, right? So there's a lot of structured data in your organization. And with that, we can breeze through automation. But if there is more ambiguous data, unstructured, noisy, you need a human in the loop. And when you get a human in the loop, it slows things down. So what AI can start to do, AI, and it's subordinate, it's machine learning, natural language, processing, computer vision, we can start to make sense of both unstructured and structured data together and we can make a big deal going forward, right? So that's the AI part. You mentioned Red Hat and hybrid cloud part. Well, think about it this way. When you shop, how many stores do you, you don't just shop in one store, right? You go to specialty stores to pick up that special ketchup, I don't know, or must store and maybe do shopping in another store. Customers using clouds, John, aren't very different. They have their specialty places to go. Maybe they're going to be running workloads in Google involving search and AI related to search, right? And they're going to be using other clouds for more specialty things, right? So from that perspective, that's a view of hybrid. Customers today, take that shopping analogy, they're going to be using Salesforce or ServiceNow. IBM cloud, they have a private cloud, right? So when you think about automating that world, right? It's the real world. It's how we shop, whether it's for groceries or for cloud, right? So the hybrid cloud is a reality. And how do you make sense of that, right? Because when an average customer has five clouds, how do you deal with five things, right? How do you make it easy, normalize? And that's what Red Hat really does. Yeah, it's interesting. I'll just share with you, though, when I interviewed Arvin, who is now the CEO of IBM, when he was at Red Hat Summit in 2019 in San Francisco before he made the acquisition, he had that, I was peppering with questions like, you know, you need to get this cloud and he loves cloud, you know, he loves cloud. So he was smiling and he just wanted to say it. He wanted to just say it. And I think Red Hat brings that operating kind of mindset where the clouds are just subsystems in the OS. Of the middleware, which is now software, which is software-defined business. And this kind of is the talk of your views. Now you have a podcast called Art of Automation. I want to get that in there for the folks watching. Search for the podcast Art of Automation. This is the stories that you tell. Tell us some stories from this phenomenon. What's the impact of automation for the holistic picture? Well, it starts with a lot of, I guess it starts with customers. The stories start with the customers. So we're hearing from customers that AI and automation is where they're investing in 2021. For all the reasons we briefly mentioned. And IBM has a lot to offer there. So we've made AI powered automation a priority. But John, in the pursuit of making it a priority, I've started talking with many of our subject matter experts and was floored by their knowledge, their energy, their passion and their stories. And I said, we can't keep this to ourselves. We can't keep this locked away. We have to share it. We have to let it out. So basically this is what started the podcast around that. And since then we've had many industry luminaries from IBM and outside, starting with customers. We had Klaus Jensen, who is the CIO of Memorial Clones Kettering Hospital to talk about automation and healthcare. And he shared great stories. You need to listen to them about, automation is not going to take the place of doctors, but automation will help better read X-rays and look at those shades of gray on the X-ray and interpret it much better than we can. And be able to ingest all of the up-to-date medical research to provide pointers and make connections that the human may not be able to do in that moment, right? So the two working together are better than any individual. Carol Polson recently joined me to talk, and she's the CIO for cooperators to talk about automation and insurance. And she had some great stories too. So John, with that, a bunch of IBM, great IBM fellows like Rama Agaraju, who is one of Forbes's top 20 women in AI research talking about AI ops. And also Ruchir Puri talking, and Ruchir has been working on Watson since Jeopardy to tell stories about ultimately now how we're teaching AI to code in all the modern programming languages and really automating application modernization and the like. Four key episodes in, we have those under our belt, about $6,000 in downloads so far. So it's coming along pretty well. Thanks for asking, John. I'll look at the word out, and then the key is you're a content creator now as well as a fellow. And this is democratization, as we say, direct to audience, share those stories. Also here, I think you released an e-book. Tell us a little quickly about that. We got one minute left. Give a quick plug for the e-book. The book echoes the podcast chapters relate to the episodes of the book. We're dropping the first five chapters plus forward for free on the IBM website. Other chapters will become available and drop as they become available. The book makes the content searchable on the internet. We go into more detail with advice on how to get started. You get to hear the topics and the voice of those subject matter experts. And I really suggest you go out and check it out. All right, Jerry Cuomo, IBM fellow VPCT-IBM automation. Also a content creator, podcast art of automation. Jerry, we're going to list it on our Silicon angle and our cube sites. Get you some extra love on that. Love the podcast. Love the focus on sharing from experts in the field. Thanks for coming on. Thank you so much for having me again, John. Okay, I'm John Furrier with theCUBE here for IBM Think 2021. Thanks for watching.


Hey guys, this is Matt Beck from freesaloneducation.com. We're here live. Well, sort of live, kind of. I mean we are live, but yeah We're here at ISSE in Long Beach, California I got two of my favorite people in the industry, Candy Shaw and Jameson Codner, right? It's how you pronounce it. Codner it is. All right, so we have them with me. We're gonna talk about Balayage That's your thing, right? You're the Balai Lama, right? All right, so we're gonna talk about Balayage. We're also gonna focus on just your career and the new things you have out, right? Fabulous. So let's start off with Basically the industry. How did you start out in the industry? Where did it come from?  How'd that work? Well, I'm gonna give you the short story, Matt But basically my father is a 56 year hairdresser. He was a world-class competition hairdresser. Okay. I never went to beauty school. Can you believe it? I mean that's like incredible I never went to beauty school, but in Georgia you don't have to so I learned from some of the bests in the industry And I've been a hairdresser behind the chair for 35 years That's awesome. And the inspiration for me to paint hair came over 20 years ago when I was in Europe studying. Okay So you saw them doing the hair painting Balayage thing. Exactly. Okay And so you know at first I was kind of scared of it to be honest, you know, it seemed a little Why do you think people are scared about painting hair because I know that it's like one of those things in the industry It's like I would be more scared to foil hair than to actually paint it.  Yeah, because as an artist you can really see exactly what you're going for And you can almost think of your look as it's you know as it's in process right after it processes Right. So I think a lot of people are afraid of it because when you give somebody the freedom to take a lightener and just start You know putting it on the hair They're afraid of you know the results and I think that we were trained to stylist all our lives to be very technical right and very Section by section and piece by piece. Yeah, and we you know, we kind of are very robotic to be honest Yeah, and I found it like when you foil hair It's it's almost like like you're putting them like one foil here one foil here back to back Right, and it just fall the fall isn't as natural Painting here, so do you think I mean I would say 90% of the people in our salon now get hair painting done Absolutely. Well, you're so right about that I mean I always say that I paint energy to my haircuts right and you know It's sort of like putting the shoes with the dress so to speak Yeah, so once you have your beautiful design in then you take the time to just balayage the pieces in and it makes it so much more Customized, you know, it's not just a pattern that you're following just because it's a foil pattern You're literally following the layers of the hair the peaks the valleys the contrast areas that you want to bring forward And the actually you're following the personality of the person you're painting right, you know Is she hip, you know, then you're gonna add a little extra to the front or whatever But that's the thing like with foil work you you're always it's just for me It was like why are we doing a pattern on the hair right? There's nothing natural about a pattern that we're painting so it looks like hash marks on a football field Right exactly. Yeah, so so let's get into then you so you started your company. Yes sunlight's balayage Yes, right and so tell me about it now like I talked to you last year. Yeah, what has happened? That by the way, yeah, yeah, it's great, you know a lot has happened You know to be honest I made this company simply out of the need for people to have a good lightener to paint with right You know all my life.  You need to listen Freehand hair painting is literally going to be the wave of the future and the and the sort of the death of the foil So yeah, it is and it's it's an evolution everything is an evolution Certainly, you know, we used foils because of what they did but now we have different Technologies and lightener. We don't have to use foils all the time No, we don't hand painting is just such a more artistic and creative way of doing hair So I think it's awesome. Your lightener is fantastic.  Oh, you're sweet. You know what I'm saying, you know Why is that? Why why can I not? There's actually some reasons behind that. Yeah, what is in it? What is it? I've got what Jameson, why don't you tell us what's in it? Sure, I'd love to. I'm the resident chemist for sunlight What makes our lightener so much differently different from a traditional foil lightener is foil lighteners are typically silica-based Which is sand. Okay. It's meant to be placed in a foil and pressed with heat Right. So what we've done is we've created a kaolin base lightener. It's clay kaolin. Yeah, we're from Georgia Georgia clay Right. All right. It keeps the consistency extremely moist so you can saturate evenly Okay, also when you use a foil lightener to paint balayage so what you're processing out in the open Yeah, it puffs it bleeds. Yeah dust and the sand tends to clump up and you get these little pot marks on your strand So exactly so when you see those terrible balayage pictures on the internet That's because the lightener is swelling swelling exactly what it was supposed to be doing in a foil Sunlights it doesn't do that. Exactly. So that's the active ingredient the kale and the clay gives it six levels of lift with no heat And keeps that consistency extremely moist and the cool thing about sunlight is it's the first lightener that I've actually measured To to mix because with the other lighteners I just you know pour the lightener in and I are the developer in I just mix it up to my liking Right, but with sunlight. It's a perfect consistency. You know like when you just mix it up and it works So yeah, like a beautiful sour cream. Yeah, so what would you say is like your what is your favorite part of the industry? From a hairdresser point of view and from just like a business point of view. So let's go. Let's start with candy What's your favorite thing? Well, it's definitely not the people who are screaming in the back here for a free flat I'm just screaming people here. That's what I want exactly that. It's definitely a paper people like we could just have it Yeah, exactly That is not my favorite part of this industry because Unfortunately, you know, there's just a little bit too much Weird wacky and wild, you know, I'm a kind of hairdresser that really loves To build relationship and commercial kind of hair. But yeah, that is my favorite part of the industry is Simply having creative freedom To be myself. Yep, you know and to be who I am and not have to be a Categorize in any place. Yes, I paint hair. I'm different in that regard But I think hairdressers in in general all have one common denominator Yeah, and that we're lovers and you know, we love our craft. We love our industry We love each other and we love to celebrate success, you know as I love what you're doing with free salon education Thank you for me. I Teach because I learned right and being a teacher is really what inspires me more than anything, you know I've often had a saying Matt that says, you know money makes you more of what you already are right and you know for me I teach not for the money, but I teach because I want to get back to this industry and keep a Beautiful consistency and celebrate artists. Yeah, and the beauty of it is you can make money and do that at the same time Right. So I want to talk about like real quick. You had an interesting childhood, right? Yeah, this is a family thing Correct. Yeah, I mean you have your son involved obviously, right? And so tell me about like how do you know? It's really crazy because so many hairdressers now don't even know some of the people that Really molded our industry, right, you know my home Growing up was filled with people like Vidal and Paul Mitchell and horse Wrecklebacker and John and Susie Chadwick and some really an angry Gary Bray, you know people who are really iconic people in this industry that You know molded the test or where we are right now Yeah, you know, that's kind of why I'm on this journey Matt is because I feel like I want to be one of those types of People later in life to say, you know, this girl took a risk. Yeah, you know, she stepped out put her money where her mouth was and You know help to forge a change, right in our industry and so my childhood I was really blessed to be able to listen to these incredible stories of the journey of when Aveda was born, right? and when Paul Mitchell was born and You know when the first Sassoon Academy opened right and all those types of things Have inspired me to do do it as well. So talking about risk. What do you think is the biggest risk you ever took in your career? Like what is the time when you were like, maybe I shouldn't do that, but you did it Well, you know what that's a really interesting question. I think the biggest risk was When I knew That if someone didn't like my product that was really gonna hurt me You know and I spent so much time in research and development because of that.  Yeah, and I didn't want to take a risk Just for the sake of having a product right you didn't want to just slap your name on something Yeah, absolutely You can tell that you can tell that you did not do that and I think that that's what really separates you And when I met you guys last year, it was just you can tell when there's a difference in people I think especially in this industry. It sounds like there's a roller coaster in this building. Honestly, I need a value But so what let's talk about you got some DVDs there Yeah, I actually just this show and if there's people hanging out here, we may give something away. Oh, yeah, baby You can't scream though. I hear screaming Okay, so tell me about them. Well, of course, you know last year I launched the Bali box which you put on your podcast Thank you so much. It's on free salon education as well but now I Just released some new DVDs one is French cutting and balayage with all kinds of wonderful techniques another one is Only French balayage and one is only French cutting basics. So okay, and why do you add French in there? What makes it? Well, the technique that I use for cutting. Yeah is French hairdressing. Yeah, you start from the the top and work down exactly and I sort of learned that from the late great Bruno Petini who was an amazing stylist for Jacques de Sange so That was one of the reasons the other reason was simply because Balayage is the French word for sweep. Okay, and so that's what it means Right and when I brush a or crochet those are all French words So, okay, you know just kind of separates the difference between parametric cutting Which is more palm-to-palm cutting like a British way of cutting right then we cut everything on top of the hand Which is like you said from the top down. Okay, it's a very different method. All right, cool So in those DVDs are available They're gonna be available everywhere all over here and probably on your web Great and we have so let's uh, let's Yes, so this is the master's thing Yeah, like this is I was talking to Jameson on the phone the other day and and like through the online sales of the website Everybody buys like a brush and a paddle and I'm like guys you got to buy. Yeah the whole thing like it's all It goes all together. You know like you have to have the lightener You can't just have the paddle and whatever lightener you're using Yeah, so you have to go through the whole package. This is like the whole shabam This is the whole kid right right so we have the lightener the DVD the paddle the brush What else is in there? Yeah, so we created it to have a marriage of the tools with the right product What we found in our academy is a lot of people would come and learn hair painting and Balayage And go home and try to use what they already had in the dispensary and they'd get frustrated They don't have the right brush. They don't have the right paddle the lightener. So she's put it all on a kid It's got the 34 500 gram lightener the paddle the brush the DVD and the short perforated rad that gets about 150 applications Okay, exactly. I love this kid. It's actually a class in the box.  They like take pictures of this box and post it because it's such beautiful cool packaging It's like it's like if you buy something from Apple, you know, like Open it up and you're like, all right. It's all organized. It looks nice So basically it has oh, are we reverberating? We're okay. We're okay It has how to do it how to mix it, okay? Five or six different ways of how to paint hair It has the preference wrap which you need to put in between for a heat conductor and the beautiful window to look through to see Your balayage. Yeah, I mean we talked about that wrap a lot. Yeah, if you have Saran wrap in the salon It's a nightmare. Yeah, you can't you're trying to take Saran wrap out and keep everything organized without an assistant isn't possible with this stuff if it's already got the perforated edges. It's perforated. So you just perforated. I know I can never say that word either. I'm from Iowa, we can't pronounce anything. So I just pull the, you know, I shred the thing and it just comes right off. Yeah, and then it doesn't water up like when you're in the kitchen, which is really good. And then the brush is really key because it has a tail comb on the bottom. And you know, you use it like a pencil and then the paddle, the clips. And as Jameson was saying, it's 500 grams. It gives you about 34 balayage applications in one tub. And of course, it's also what I think is a really cool thing because I'm a chick.  So it has a grapefruit extract. So it doesn't stink like some lightners that kind of, you know, in the dispensary when you're mixing them you just sort of get a whiff of yuck.  Exactly. Well now, I can't help you there, but please do not put this up your nose. No. Yeah, corn up the nose is not a... No, definitely not. Or clay, it's not corn, it's clay. I don't know what I'm talking about. So we have that balay box. It's available at your booth, right? Yeah, here. So everybody definitely go get it. Are we, is that available for anybody around here right now? Absolutely, absolutely, let's see. These two have been hanging out for a while. Oh my God. And they haven't screamed once. I love that.

on the ground, presented by theCUBE. Here's your host, Jeff Frick. Hi, Jeff Frick here with theCUBE. We are in downtown San Francisco at the Blockchain Conference San Francisco at the Nasdaq Entrepreneurial Center in downtown San Francisco. I'm Jeff Frick. You're watching theCUBE. We wanted to come out and really find out what's going on with this blockchain. It seems like the conferences are popping up all over the place. We're joining this segment by Lisa Chang, the founder and director of the Vambex Group. Welcome, Lisa. Thank you for having me. Absolutely. A lot of big companies are here. What about startups? In your world, what do you see as still some of the green spaces? What problems should startups still be attacking? One of the things that we do with our firm is we help them find product market fit and value proposition and their competitive advantage. So one thing that blockchain startups or any startup really should be concerned with is like how are they doing something that's different? And how do they communicate that effectively? So product market fit is huge, especially if you're looking to raise money from VCs or you're looking to crowdfund. Well, it's like, all those just on, he said it's really about applications. Like it's always about applications. It's never technology for technology sake, but you got to find a problem that needs a scratch. So what are some of the more creative ones that you've seen in your journeys that you would have never expected kind of a blockchain application for that type of a problem? There's one company called Slocket, which is doing smart contracts for unlocking security doors, which I thought was really interesting. And now they've taken smart contracts to now you can heat up a thermos remotely just by putting in some money to a smart contract, which I thought was really cool. Okay, so dig down. What does that mean exactly? A smart contract to unlock a security door? Like what kind of a security door and how does the contract get executed? Well, it can be like a decentralized Airbnb. It could be a decentralized coffee shop. Everything is now automated. There's no person that needs to be there to give you the key to unlock the door so you can use Airbnb. It's all in the cloud, facilitated by smart contracts and blockchain. So you do whatever you're supposed to do and the secret code arrives on your phone? That is well. You can have the private key sent to you so that you can then unlock a wallet so that you can obtain access to a certain account or you can just send money to the smart contract, which is what Slocket does, and they remotely unlock the door. Pretty exciting feature, huh? Yeah, it sounds really cool. March 2016, what should we be looking for over the next six months, nine months in 2016? You said we're really starting to get to a tipping point as evidenced by companies like Intel and Microsoft and IBM being on the stage. What are you looking for? What should people out in the field be looking for to start to see that, hey, this thing is not only real, but really starting to gain some momentum? I think that we'll start to see projects like Ethereum kind of release a more stable version of their client and along with that, smart contracts being taken and put on things like Bitcoin and smart contracts enabling different types of banking relationships and merchant relationships and that's what I would look forward to this year. All right, well, Lisa, thanks for taking a few minutes and good luck on your panel. Thank you, thanks. Absolutely, Jeff Rick here at the Blockchain Conference in San Francisco at the NASDAQ Entrepreneur's Center in downtown San Francisco. Thanks for watching.


NAMASKARA NANISRO DOCTOR MALLIKARJUN KALISHATI ANTA I am a consultant hematologist, hematoconcologist and bone marrow transplant physician at Manipal Hospital Bangalore Now we divide bone marrow transplantation into autologous bone marrow transplantation, allogenic bone marrow transplantation and God cell transplantation and so on So in autologous bone marrow transplantation we get stem cells from the disease So for example in this multiple myeloma or relapse lymphoma from the yeast the first time we get the chemotherapy from the liver's control we collect the stem cells from the disease collect it and store it in the liver's control and then we get the chemotherapy from the disease and then we give it to them for that we get autologous bone marrow transplantation we get the stem cells from them Another allogenic bone marrow transplantation is not about the disease but about their own siblings अवर से HLA तेष्ट मरत्टीवी अवर HLA मैच द्रे अवरिंदनाव श्टम्सर सगुती अवर मैच सिबलिंग अलोजेनिग भोन्र वर त्राम्टेष्ट मेच तेट्टीवी के लें सारती वंद रोगी ये सुंथ अन्दत्म अंदरे सिबलिंग सिराला


So, Locke is going to say that he can give a plausible account of knowledge that does just as good a job as Plato without appealing to any innate ideas. All right, well, let's just take him at his word. Let's see how he's going to count for knowledge that does the same job that Plato does without appealing to innate ideas. And to do that, we're going to use the allegory of the cave as kind of the model for how Locke is going to do this. So Plato uses the allegory to illustrate his account. We're going to start with the allegory and try to find out how Locke is stepping in and giving his concepts to fit with the allegory. So just to really briefly sum up, remember the allegory of the cave. In the allegory, we had four main parts. You had the shadows. You had the puppets. You had the solid objects outside. And then you had the sun. For Plato, the shadow represented appearances. The cutouts represented particular objects. The solid objects outside represented forms of those particular objects. And then the sun represented the good, the true, and the beautiful, the form above all forms. Okay. So what from Locke's account corresponds to each of these parts of the allegory?
