Hey friends, welcome back. So today I am going to be talking about a question that I have been getting over and over again ever since I've introduced the whole thing of bulk shopping, bulk food shopping, and once a month grocery hauls. You all have seen a lot of hauls and I do have one for you in this video today, but we're gonna focus on the question of how to make a list for a month. I think a lot of you felt very overwhelmed by the idea of grocery shopping for a month and just making sure you remember everything. It's really something you do have to kind of learn how to do. It doesn't come naturally to most of us, especially whenever we've been kind of trained into grocery shopping once a week for the most part. So there is two ways really to go about grocery shopping for the whole month and really you can apply this also for grocery shopping for the week. Way number one is you can make a meal plan down to the nitty gritty, all your breakfast, lunch, dinner, everything that you're going to make for that time period, whether it's a month or whether it's a week. And I have done that. I've done an entire month of dinners and kind of figured out what we would use up first within the first week or two and then what we would do later throughout the month. You can do the same thing with a week and then of course you make a list of all the things you'll need to create those meals. You can also fill in things like toilet paper, laundry soap, other things that you may not necessarily need for those meals or just odds and ends like making sure you have extra eggs around, those sorts of things if you decide to do some baking, just taking all of those things into account. The second way to meal plan is to go to the store and check to see what's on sale. You kind of know and have a good idea of how much food your family is going to eat within that time period.  Again, I have done it that way as well. So the biggest question that probably arises at this point is how am I once a month grocery shopping and which way am I doing it? So to answer your question, I do both. I do account for a few of our staple meals that we repeat every single month. We have even one meal that we eat almost on a weekly basis. A lot of families have that and maybe you don't even realize how often you have specific meals that you repurpose and remake all the time. Our staple meal in our house, if you watch my meal preps, you might be able to guess it. It's barbecue meatballs, mashed potatoes and peas. It's just a favorite in our house and it's something that I can generally repeat once a week through the entire months because I have frozen peas, I always have potatoes on hand and then I just pull out some ground meat from the freezer and there you go, you've got that meal very easily. Tacos is another one that a lot of people repeat every single week. If your family gets tired of things every single week, you can always go every other week. So with that being said, you can plan some of your staple meals and that's kind of what I do. I have certain things every month that I purchase simply for those staple meals because I know I'm gonna use them throughout the months. If I have time or if I feel it's necessary, I will sometimes sit down and plan out the entire month of meals with maybe only six dinners a week in case we go out to eat or have leftovers or maybe five dinners a week. It's not always that I plan every single day but a good list of meals to know that I've got most of my months covered. So with that being said, since I've been doing this for a while and I've been bulk food shopping for a while, I really am aware and know what we eat within a month. So a lot of times I put down my staple items that I know we are definitely going to need for that month. And then I go through and I either will check my sale flyers like if I'm going to Costco or that sort of thing or sometimes I just simply go to the store and I see what is on sale. We do eat a mostly whole food diet so we eat a lot of veggies and potatoes and meat. And I simply don't make a lot of recipes that call for a lot of nitty gritty ingredients. And sometimes I just substitute. If I find a recipe in one of my recipe books or on Pinterest and I see that I can maybe make a substitute like instead of using cream cheese, use sour cream in the pasta sauce. You know, just things like that. I've learned to really be flexible in my kitchen so that I don't have to drive the whole way to the store just for cream cheese. So as you can see, you can work with recipes but you can just replace things with things that you have on hand. This is not a new idea by any means. In a lot of ways I feel like I've had to break a idea that is relatively modern, that we have to go every single week and we have to have all the exact ingredients for the every single recipe. And if you learn to cook kind of on the fly, you learn what flavor combinations are good. Get in your kitchen, get messy, learn how to try out new things and you will learn what your family loves in a very short amount of time. Also, I think that there is this other idea out there that we need to get elaborate with our cooking and our recipes.  I know that most of the time my family is satisfied with healthy, simple meals and they don't have to be crazy or you don't have to go to Whole Foods to find that one specific ingredient for the recipe. So back to making our list. So once I have a lot of my staple ingredients and pieces that I know I need to have in the house for the months, then I can kind of have fun looking at sales and seeing what's on sale. So we love Brussels sprouts. And the last couple of months, they have been at a really good price at Costco. So I'm always ready to grab a big bag of Brussels sprouts. But if I walk in there and they're either out of stock because I don't like to go to too many stores in my monthly shops, I generally at the most will go to three stores. I really like to stick to one or two if possible. But if I walk in there and they don't have Brussels sprouts but they happen to have asparagus at a really good price, I will grab that instead. And I'll just make sure that we have a good stock of our fruits and veggies at the beginning of the month. And then throughout the month, towards the later portion of the month, I do normally lean into my canned fruits and things like that that I make during the summertime because I do a lot of freezing and canning. So that's another component to take in mind whenever I'm talking about making a list for the entire month or grocery shopping for the entire month, I do a lot of preserving and canning in the summer months. If you all have been around my channel for a bit, you know this. So I have a good back stock of things to pull from that I'm also mixing in with my store-bought foods. With that being said, our budget does fluctuate quite a bit for our groceries. For example, this month and the haul you're about to see, I did not actually spend that much. We are really stocked up. The last couple of months, I've gotten some good orders from Azure Standard. I've done a lot of shopping at Costco where we've gotten a lot of big bags of things and we are just simply stocked up on most all of our dry goods. So this month on my budget, I didn't have to make very big and I was able to get a lot of fresh goodies. So I feel like it's a good give and take whenever it comes to deciding what you need to get for that month. And especially if you're buying in bulk, there are a lot of things that you'll buy once and it will last for months and months. On the other hand, like I said, I do a lot of freezing and canning during the summer months and getting things from local farmers and things like that, that extra money that I don't spend on a month like this month that was kind of a smaller haul, I can put aside for summer months when we're gonna buy flats and flats of strawberries or other things that we might need to get from the local farmer's market. To start out, if you are just starting the whole idea of monthly grocery shopping, it would not be a bad idea to break down the entire month of meals. And maybe you wanna just plan for about five dinners per week. Then you can lean on leftovers or going out with friends or any other things that you're gonna do. I'm just giving some good examples. And so you're gonna create those five meals. So that is 20 meals. So four weeks, we've got 20 meals. Sit down and write out a list of 20 meals. You're gonna wanna categorize those meals by the things that are going to need the freshest items first. So the first half of the month, you're gonna eat a lot more of your veggies and fresh fruits and things like that. In the second half of the month, I lean into frozen vegetables and freeze dried. Anything else I have in storage that we can pull from, we will do that. Now there are some things like a head of cabbage that are gonna last well into the whole month. So that's something that I can use all of the time. You all have heard my avocado trick in the video that I talk about how to make vegetables and fruit last a whole month. And there are some of them that you truly can let us in another one. And I will leave that video link below in case you did not see that because that is so key to grocery shopping once a month. This month, I actually grocery shop at Aldi. It's been quite a while since I've been there and I don't go to the same stores every single month. But because I did not need to go to Costco this month, I decided to just hit up Aldi and see what they had. They had so many great deals. I really can't believe how well priced their produce was right now. And so I was able to get a lot of great produce. So I'm gonna go ahead and insert my haul from Aldi here. All right, so here is this month's grocery haul and I did get a small Azure order that I will be picking up in about two days. So that also will be added to this. Over here, as far as some meat, most all of our meat we buy locally. So it's not very often I buy tons and tons of meat in the store, but I did grab a pack of salmon fillets. I am just really trying to focus on eating healthy this month. So I knew that these would be an easy lunch item for me. And then I got three pounds of ground pork. This is a part of their never any line where there's never antibiotics and other things in that line of meat. I got a pack of scrapple. We're gonna do a breakfast dinner this week. So I wanted to have some scrapple around. If you don't know what that is, it's something that people in Pennsylvania and Ohio, we really enjoy, it's kind of a breakfast item. And then I got two packs of sausages. Again, just thinking about trying to eat healthier for myself. So this one is a breakfast sausage and then this one is a spinach and feta. I used to get this pretty often and I forgot about it. And then I saw it at Aldi, like I said, it's been quite a while since I've shopped Aldi. So it was good to see some old favorites. Still there, got a pack of baby spinach. I'm not sure if I'll make spinach dip or just eat some spinach salads, but it's a good option to have around. I got a head of cauliflower. This is a good example of something that was not on my list, but it was such a good deal, a bag of jalapenos. I think they were 65 cents for the bag. And I thought we could do some stuffed jalapenos this month that sounded really good. And then I got a bag of Brussels sprouts. I feel like that's a staple in our house. I always get those every month. We love them so much. And in the video that I recently did where I was telling you how I make a lot of produce last a month, I was talking about how I store avocados. A question I got over and over and over again, I'm gonna address it here, is do you put the avocados in ripe? And the answer is yes, mostly. So I do try to select ones that are almost ripe or if they're really, really hard, I do let them sit out for a little bit before I put them in the jar of water to store for the month. So here is some bell peppers. Now, some of these are gonna go into recipes and I'm also kind of running low on my sliced bell peppers I like to keep in the freezer. So some of these are gonna get sliced and vacuum packed and put into the freezer. And these were on sale. So I was glad to see those. I figured they would go great in the freezer.  This was something else that was not on my list but was on sale. So I went ahead and grabbed that. We can make zucchini noodles. We really love those in our house. I got some purple cabbage.  It's so delicious together or even with some bacon. And purple cabbage has just a little bit more nutrition in it than green cabbage. So whenever I can get purple, I usually do. I got my romaine lettuce and some strawberries. We got some broccoli back here. We got oranges. I did get a fair amount of fruit just because we are in obviously the winter season and always keeping the vitamin C going with oranges and things like that. I got some red grapes. These were also at a really good price and on sale. Got a bag of lemons also on sale.  I get celery pretty well every month. It's just a nice, quick, easy snack and it lasts a little bit longer than cucumbers. We like cucumbers a lot too but those go pretty quick. So at least I know I can keep these pretty well all month in the refrigerator. Again, same with carrots. Got three bags of carrots and then we only have one frozen banana left in the freezer. So I went ahead and got 10 pounds of bananas and a bunch of these will go into the freezer for banana bread or smoothies, mostly smoothies. They're a good base for smoothies to mix in with blueberries and we have a lot of frozen blueberries from the summer's time still in our deep freezer so wanted to combine those with that. And then over here I have a five pound block of our favorite cheddar, organic raw cheddar cheese coming from Azure but I did grab two small blocks of a yellow mild cheddar and then this was kind of a impulse buy but I know I'm gonna use them. They look so good. It's these egg life wraps. I've used them many, many times. I really like the everything bagel seasoning ones but these are a new flavor. They're called garden salsa and I just thought with like a breakfast meat or like sausage or something like that it would be so good to make up some wraps and then up here I've got two bags. I had to go to a local store for this but two bags of local coffee. We are almost completely out of coffee and it's something that I have been making. I kind of went on a break of not having it and I've been doing intermittent fasting so having some black coffee in the morning just is the ticket for me and then here is three dozen eggs. Now we go through much more eggs than this and I'll be getting some from my sister-in-law or a local farm that we also stop into but we just were pretty well out of eggs completely so I was like I'm just gonna grab three dozen just to get us through until we run out to one of our local farms. Here is four bags of raised cauliflower. This is a staple I like to keep in my freezer. It's the base of my beanless chili and I also use it for other recipes and I was out of that so I grabbed four of those and then here to finish off the dairy I grabbed some feta cheese. That was a really, really good price there at Aldi and then I do make my own yogurt pretty well religiously but this week is really busy for us. We were just very low on groceries and I don't know that I will have time in the next couple of days to make yogurt and for some reason the last time I made yogurt I completely forgot to pull out my starter for my next batch so we truly are out of yogurt in our house so I just grabbed these. The girls eat a lot of yogurt with my canned fruits and stuff so having this around just as a little convenience to myself is going to be really helpful. This is something I've started getting I think two months ago I started getting you can get it at Costco but I also notice Aldi has them as well and they have a spicy version. That's just these little single guacamole's and it works great for taco night even if the girls wanna get out some tortilla chips and salsa and guacamole it's just a fast easy way for them to have something nutritious that is healthy and then up here is the only thing I actually had to grab that was more household related and that's press and seal and that is a luxury that I allow myself as press and seal. I love it I know some people have been stuck on saran wrap for a long time but try press and seal it's just so much more convenient you can reuse it sometimes I use it a couple different times especially if I'm making sourdough I use it to cover my bowl and it's just super handy stuff our whole household really likes that and then this was a little treat I generally try to buy potato chips with avocado oil there's another brand that I buy pretty often and it's not the cheapest but it's at least better than us getting a lot of seed oils and things that aren't very good for our guts and so here at Aldi in their specialty aisle that's only there for a certain amount of time they have these chips that are made with sea salt and avocado oil so three ingredients I believe sea salt, avocado oil and potatoes and so I grabbed four bags of those because they're a very good price compared to the name brand. All right coming around to this side so again the potato chips and then I also got the blue corn tortilla chips that are organic I do prefer to buy tortilla chips that are made with avocado oil not a seed oil but because I didn't want to make a bunch of stops today and I just wanted to get my grocery shopping out of the way I just went ahead and grabbed these three again it's not something that I make a huge habit of but at least they're organic so that's a big plus and then the girls had requested some pistachios some cashews and almonds these are big snack items in our house because we are mostly gluten free besides sourdough and so having these types of snacks on hand is really handy and I know again some of these have oils seed oils that they roast them in but we do our best. I grabbed some orange juice and then some organic ketchup I have switched pretty much to only buying organic ketchup just because generally when it's organic it does not have corn syrup in it if you look at the back of your ketchup usually it's mostly made out of corn syrup and we would like ours made out of tomatoes and then we really love their ranch and they started making this big size I used to buy the smaller size in just big cases but they've made these big family size which is great and we've tried many many organic ranches ranches made with other oils all of that and nothing has won yet so if you have a good healthy ranch that you all really enjoy and it's nice and creamy or even a ranch recipe let me know in the comments cause I would love to hear it. Okay I can't wait to dig in to cooking with all of those fresh ingredients this month it's gonna be a great load of fresh vitamins and other nutrients that my family needs here during the winter months. I'm also gonna share what I got from Azure since I don't have that to show you here so I actually got a five pound block of their raw organic cheddar cheese we love that cheese and the last time I got a five pound block it lasted us roughly two months so we will see I'm kind of thinking I might not do an Azure haul next month so I had that in mind with some of the things I purchased I also got some of the Nancy's cream cheese we really like that cream cheese it is a cultured cream cheese and then also their sour cream that is also a cultured product so I love knowing that there is no added fillers and things like that in the cream cheese and sour cream and of course they're both organic I also got a big bag of salt because we were sort of running lower on our mineral salt and that's all I use for my cooking and I just like to always have a nice stock of salt it's just one of those things I like to have on hand and then I did order a 50 pound bag of red potatoes I feel like red potatoes last a good long time and I've mentioned before I buy a 50 pound bag of potatoes every other month we do not eat a load of things with like gluten so potato is our main starch in the house I do make sourdough and occasionally my husband does pick up hot dog or hamburger buns but so we do lean into potatoes a lot plus it is my husband's favorite kind of filler in a meal and then along with that I picked up some of the stinging kombucha hot sauce it's raw and fermented I have used it here and there but my husband really loves that on all kinds of things so I grabbed a bottle of that so it wasn't a huge order from Azure this month but just some staple items and I'm not sure I guess you guys will probably see if I end up doing another Azure haul next month but between all of that I'm so happy with everything that I picked up and then once I have done all of my grocery shopping for the month then I start a list for the next month and I wanted to mention this because there is, I do keep a running list because if we run out of one of our staple items it's gonna be a little harder for me to remember when I sit down once a month to make my grocery list so in my planner I like to keep a sheet where I just keep a running list and I actually try to keep them kind of in separate lists like if it's something for Azure I'll do that or something for another store and then when I go to go shopping go to go shopping I actually use the notes app on my phone and I break it into categories I just find that I get through the grocery store so much faster if I have things broken down into meats dairy, produce and canned goods and other things like that I can just find everything I'm looking for in that aisle or that section of the store when I'm in that section of the store instead of running from one end to the other so what I do is I categorize everything in my notes app and then as I put things in my cart I just have my phone I erase that item and I can slowly see my entire list just disappear and it's empty and ready to fill again for the next month so I do have a written list but I like to kind of keep both and then I break everything into a digital list on my notes app whenever I'm ready to go grocery shopping so I hope that this was helpful for you I hope that we can chat in the comments if you have more questions on how to make a list or some more ideas of how to tackle monthly grocery shopping just ask them in the comments I do try to check them as often as I can and reply to them as much as I can and I thank you guys so much for watching if this is the first video of mine you've ever seen definitely hit that subscribe button I do lots of meal prepping and bulk food shopping and all the things to try to keep grocery shopping and meal planning stress less or stress free and of course budget friendly so thanks for watching guys and I'll see you guys in my next video


I'm Ellen Goodwin. I'm a first-year PhD student in the Development Studies Department here at SOAS. Broadly, my research fits under the umbrella of religion and humanitarianism. I think that the field of humanitarian studies and practice, it's taken a long time for them to start to engage with religion and religious actors, especially local religious actors, expressions and forms. The engagement so far with religion has been quite narrow and instrumental, and engaging predominantly with international FBOs and world religious leaders at the expense of different kinds of religious expressions, actors and forms, particularly those at the local level and local faith communities. But this is starting to change slowly but surely, and you can see this particularly in the field of things like religion and migration and displacement or religion and mental health and psychosocial support, where there's an emphasis on looking at religious coping strategies, religious beliefs, traditions, rituals and the part that that plays at the local level in humanitarian interventions. And there's a more nuanced approach to how religion interacts with humanitarian processes as well. Also looking at the opportunities, the sources of untapped opportunities and also the challenges that come with engaging with religious actors, expressions and forms for humanitarian goals. So I think that the fields of religion and humanitarianism, as much as it is, is moving in the right direction, but there's still a little way to go. Following the World Humanitarian Summit in 2016 and Ochre's New Way of Working, and that's kind of seen the formal humanitarian sphere start to look at ways it can work to make humanitarian interventions more effective in the face of the changing nature of humanitarian crises as they become more frequent, more protracted, more complicated. And this has seen the formal humanitarian sphere engage with a wide range of actors and with an emphasis on local actors and those from the global south. And this has kind of created the space to revisit the role of religion in humanitarianism. And as these shifts have been taking place, there's often an emphasis on interreligious dialogue and co-operation as something useful for making humanitarian interventions more effective. And this has come alongside a proliferation of interreligious and multi-religious organisations on the ground. But the empirical evidence as to how, why and if interreligious co-operation and dialogue is effective in fragile contexts is very sparse, so that's where my research comes in.

Security experts have continued to express their grief-concern over plans by accuracy to deploy its standard force to restore constitutional order in the country. Speaking to journalists on the sideline of its Lagos 2023 annual general meeting and election, the immediate past president of the Association of Licensed Private Security Practitioners of Nigeria will say in a subredo stressed that more dialogue should be explored as Nigeria will suffer the most in the event of war. We are going to go into a war. The bulk of the soldiers will be provided by Nigeria. Because of that, I said that some of the other countries will provide a battalion. A battalion of soldiers is no more than 800. So how many of them are actually ready to provide enough soldiers? And the minimum of 22 soldiers will go into that offensive. And you discover that the other countries may not provide up to 3,000 or the most 4,000. We have some counties that are actually backed out, Ghana is backed out. We discover that more of our Nigerian soldiers are the ones that will bear the brunt.  So it should be more of dialogue. Because you discover that in that country, the Western powers are going to unleash all their equipment. And don't forget that that country shares borders with seven Northern states. And there's no guarantee that that war will not come into our country. So that's the part I'm worried about. We should come to dialogue with them so that we can see reason and come out of this mess. War. Nobody goes into war and come out of it. Most of us who have been born well enough, long enough, we know what a war is. We don't want a war within our neighbour, Nigerian public. But I think we can resolve it amicably. The security experts also greatly disturbed by news of purported infiltration of the sector in Lagos State Park works and alleged runaway Boko Haram insurgents calling on members of the public to be vigilant on who they engage. As private guards, as they are a security risk. While assuring members of the public of adequate security at all times, the professionals also appeal to the government at all levels. Lagos resident and Nigerians in general to always call the attention of security agencies whenever they notice any inappropriate behaviour from anyone around them. If they do not present the license, empowering them to practice, do not engage them. It is a security risk. And to those who are practicing without license, I want to warn you. It is no more business as usual. We are all out to arrest you. And once you are arrested, you must be prosecuted because you are causing economic leakage in Nigeria and that is not allowed. If you look here within the country, there is no home. There is no where you enter and there is no guard. Meaning that for us to even do anything and remain safe as a country, we should pay heed to those guards. But most times in the country, people look down on them. Forgetting that they are alive, their properties, all that concerns them is generally controlled by these guards. Now, if the government will pay heed to what they are doing and give them that attention or that cognizance to what they are doing, at least it will encourage them to do more and also encourage owners of this private company to give their all to make things go better. We have this association of registered license security companies which is helping the government in the grassroots security of the state. Unfortunately, we are confronted every time with this problem and that is we have much of this quack on license operating freely and we are appealing to the government, the agency in power to do that to let us go after these people because if anything happens, they say security. Who knows if most of these people are even Nigerians that can be used to counter our efforts in security of the state.

I know this video is titled giving my roots a bleach bath, but it's basically half of my hair. Oh, please don't do that. No! She said she's giving her roots a bleach bath. I mean, bleach baths are generally used for a couple of things, if you don't already know. They're used to remove like the top layer of color. They can remove like demipermanent color, cyanpermanent color. Probably like a half a shade of permanent color sometimes in some cases. It's really just for correcting things quickly. We usually don't use this to lift somebody's level six root. That's scary. It's gonna be a lot of orange in there. So I have my bleach. I have gloves. I'm gonna put Olaplex in the mixture. I have a volume 20. The thing is, is most of the hair is close to my roots. So I know that they're gonna develop faster because of the heat. Most of the hair is close to your root. Well, you have like four inches of regrowth there, or five even. The heat from your scalp is not gonna do too much for you in this case. Also 20 volume with a bleach bath. Normally it'd be fine, but in this case you're bringing that 20 volume basically down to a 15, even a 10 volume, depending on if you put like water in the formula or I don't know what your formula's gonna look like. And you're probably gonna apply it to damp hair because that's how you do a bleach bath except a lot of people do it wrong. So I don't know. I do have this Dove shampoo that I'm gonna put in the mixture. I have an applicator. I also have some clips to separate my hair so that it's not gonna get too messy. And then I'm also gonna be toning my hair with T10 toner. Moment of truth. Let's see what her bleach bath mixture is if it is even a bleach bath at all. Cause sometimes people don't even know what that is most of the time. They're all confused. Another thing guys is I would prefer to leave a little bit of root. I like that look. Ah, it's getting scarier. The thing was leaving a root. Don't do it with a dull process. It's not a good idea. It just never looks right. And it's usually uneven. Like don't. What you should do is bleach the entire thing and then add a root later. Okay, with like a toner. Give yourself a little shadow root. That's how you make it look good. And then when it grows out, it's great because then your real root grows in and the shadow root is now blonde because that shadow faded off because it's only diapornic color. So now you get twice the wear out of the one color. Does that make any sense to anybody? Good. It looks to me as if she's not wetting her hair. A bleach bath guys. The whole point is to like have your hair be damp and then have shampoo in the bleach formula and you're like lathering the bleach. You know what I mean? That's a bleach bath. Baths are usually wet. We're gonna put both of them in here. Next I'm going to add in our developer. I'm gonna try to eyeball it and do about equal parts. Next I'm gonna add in a little bit of shampoo, a little bit of water. Okay, so she is putting water in the formula just to wipe your hair. And some of my Olaplex. Number three does not go in lightener. Number one goes in lightener and that is only for professionals. We have our mixture ready. So I'm gonna put on my gloves and we're gonna get to applying.  Where is the bleach bath? This is just you applying lightener with water in it. When you put water in lightener it just dilutes the developer. The only thing you're doing here is just putting like a 15 volume in your hair which is definitely not a high enough developer for you. I'm looking at the first piece of hair that I did and it is lightening up. I think for a bleach bath you can leave it in however much you want. Eventually it's gonna stop developing so I'm just gonna leave it in for, I don't know. We'll see. Okay, it's lightening a lot. I'm a little surprised. She does have a pretty light base color and her hair looks to be kind of on the more fine side which is really good for a lightener. Those roots that she gave herself is really making me nervous. Okay, so don't mind my ends. They are obviously brighter. I feel like I should go in with a second round of bleach but I'm going to do the toner and see what the outcome is. No. Yeah, this came out really bad. Do not tone it. Not gonna do anything. Your hair is orange. Orange. So for toner I'm using the Wella T10 toner. It's kind of hard to avoid the ends. Okay, I'm gonna let this sit for like 15, 20 minutes and rinse it out. This is the outcome. This is still way too orange. My mistake was doing a bleach bath because it was virgin hair. I feel like if I just went in with straight bleach it would be more concentrated and it would have lightened more but the lady at the store said that doing it again definitely will get my hair to this exact same color. Okay, what you need to do now is just use like 20 volume and lightener and apply it to that section that's really yellow and orange. That's all. We don't need to do another bleach bath which wasn't really a bleach bath. This whole bleach bath thing is confusing me. I'm going to go in right now again with the second time of bleach. All right, we're doing it again. Let's see what result we get this time. It should be better. I'm done. I'm gonna leave this in for another 20, 30 minutes. Those ends on our hair have been bleached 20,000 times. I'm very concerned. All right, we're moving on to toner. This is how my hair is looking. I'm hoping that this is enough. Like. Ah!  Did we need to go in with bleach? Just straight up bleach with no water. And just color the roots because it's stressing me out. Oh no, we're toning it again. Girl. So this is how my hair looked the next morning. There was still some yellow and orange tones on half of my hair and obviously because my lower half of my hair is already blonde, it was much harder to try not to get things on it. I realized that I needed to definitely go in one more time. All right, we're doing a third round. This time we're using foils which I think is a great idea. Hopefully it's not like a bleach bath again. I messaged a friend that I know that had a little bit of knowledge in hair and stuff. So I ended up doing 20 volume with bleach, the same that I was using before, but I used foils and I left it in for about 20, 25 minutes. Okay, girl, 20 minutes is not enough. Think 45 or 60 minutes. That's probably good for you. Now looking at it, it looks like it's light enough. Now the issue was trying to even the hair out. So what I did was I went and I got a 30 volume developer, another 20 volume because I was running out and then I got a T10 toner because I felt like the other one was too cool tone for my liking. And what I ended up doing was going in with a quick bleach bath, literally five minutes. I coated my whole head with the 30 volume and bleach and gave it like five minutes and rinsed it out. And that actually stripped the toner from half of my hair. What I'm gonna do is I'm gonna put T11 on my upper half of my hair, leave it in for about 10, 15 minutes and then put it on the rest of my hair and leave it in for another five, 10 minutes because this is already pretty good. Okay, I definitely think it's a good idea for her to apply to the roots and mids before doing the ends. And that way everything kind of comes out even but I don't know if that theory is really gonna work because I think that toner is gonna be too light for her hair to even show up. So I tried my best to avoid the bottom half of my hair for the first half of the toning session. I did not want to over tone my bottom half of my hair and just tried to like map out the best possible way to even out my hair. This is the result. Oh my gosh, I was almost regretting going through all this but I can say I am in love with end result. I basically put the toner on half of my hair for like five minutes maybe in the bottom of my hair. It turned out great. I also trimmed it like half an inch just to freshen up the ends. I feel like it turned out amazing. I mean, she definitely saved her hair. It looks good. You could have saved so much time though and energy if you just used 30 volume and bleach and left it on for like 45 to 60 minutes and you would only had to do it once and it would have been fine. There was just so many steps in there that were just totally not necessary. So hopefully next time you can do it way faster. Up next you have a video by Shamla. We are going to bleach wash my hair and after that I'm going to dye it red. I'm not going to bleach my hair too much. That's why I'm doing a bleach bath. Okay. Listen, I'm here for this idea. The execution, we don't know what that's gonna be but I'm here for the idea that she doesn't need to like fully bleach her hair with the most strong bleach ever. You know what I'm saying? Like she doesn't need to use 30 volume and she doesn't need to get her hair super light.  That way that red really shows but with red it's better if you don't over lift your hair and bring it to like platinum blonde before going right because then the red just doesn't stick or it looks kind of dull. So good idea. I was blonde a few months ago. So I'm just trying to get rid of the color. She's just trying to remove the surface layer of the color in her hair because she is blonde underneath that. So this is a good idea to do a bleach bath in this situation. We're going to start off with mixing the bleach wash and for that we're using vanilla bleaching powder, volume 20 with the girls. That's the shampoo that I'm using and I'm mixing everything in equal parts. Okay, so her formula is one part bleach, one part 20 volume developer and shampoo. Yes, that is a bleach bath. Now let's see if she wets her hair before applying. I'm going to apply it to towel damp hair. Yes, wow, she's doing it correctly. I'm very proud of you. Great job. That's the perfect. So I think I'm going to fill it out with more shampoo. For bin cream, I want to eat it. Give me a bite. I've ate bleach before. Did I put that online? Whatever, I have. I've had bleach. I love bleach. So I ate it. Like just a little lick. It doesn't taste good. My hair's so damaged when I brush it. Wet, it feels like gummy. No, your hair feels gummy when it's wet because it's so damaged. No, don't put any more bleach on your hair. Stop. So I'm not really trying to put that on my roots, cause my roots are healthy and I want them to stay. Okay, we're doing it again where we leave the roots out. We're doing this whole bleach bath thing. I just, guys, stop leaving the roots out. I get the concept, but it doesn't work like that. Unless you're okay with it being very splotchy and like all over the place. This roots color, this roots not. You know what I mean? It just, if... Because I don't mind dark roots and I think it would look good with the red especially. Next time you do this, I would say, if you want dark roots, lighten the entire thing, do a very dark color in your roots for a toner and then do the red on the ends.  Oh, this application is scary.  Maybe take a section or two. Maybe just, you know what I mean? Just like get the section in there and do a little thing. But not that. Not that, what you just did. Don't do that. Also, guys, bleach bath. Think of a bubble bath. Bleach bubble bath, we'll call it because the proper bleach bath, it should be like foaming. It should be sudsy. You should have like a bleach. Like it should be like white bleach and it should be really sudsy and like make that noise. Like that's when you know you have enough of the bleach bath on your hair. I think my hair is already lightening up at least it looks like it. It is lightening and it is lathering. That's good, but oh God, I'm really worried about her roots. What's going on with the color there? But at least it's getting to a nice chocolatey brown color. And I'm going to leave it in for 20 minutes. We're putting a bag on the head which is great to keep in the heat to make sure the lightener doesn't dry out and stays moisturized because moisture that buys bleaching develops that better. I don't know. Hello again. So it's the next day and this is what my hair turned out like after the bleach wash. Holy s***, that looks good. It's a little bit too dark for my liking up here and I prepared another batch. Okay, we're going in again. All right, all right. We can't, we can't just do one. No, no, not today, people. I'm going to put it on the dark spots and now the same procedure as yesterday. I'm going to wet my hair and then apply the bleach bath and then I'll see you later. But see, she has dark spots. There's things going on. There's all kinds of weird s*** because we didn't section and we didn't apply evenly. The important thing when coloring on bleaching your hair is you have to be confident that it turns out good because when you're confident, you will manifest it. So I'm confident that this will turn out good. Okay, you're right. I'll try and be more confident in you. Sorry, it's just sometimes it's hard. You can do it girl, got this. Am I manifesting properly? So this is what my hair looks like now. I think it's done a little bit better. I just really wish her fringe was blonde. Like the thing around her face is dark. Why? Let's get that lighter. Okay, she is starting to apply the red color. Let's see what happens. I think her hair is at a good level to put the red on. So I think it's gonna look good. I should have bought two bottles because I almost run out. Yeah, manic panic, come on. Who can color their entire head of hair with four ounces of color? How do we decide on that much? That's not enough. Okay, so I put the dye in and now I'm going to leave it in for one hour. Will it stick? I'm not sure. Her hair is definitely porous. So I feel like the cyan permanent color will stick on her and it'll probably look nice. I don't know. Let's see. Hello, so that's what my hair turned out like. What? I like it, but it's not as red as I wanted it in some places because I didn't have enough dye left. Okay, so it's definitely red, but it's definitely a little bit of like a splotchy red. There's a little bit of orange in there, a little copper. We need to get that even, right? So I just went to the drugstore and bought some more dye. So I bought Schwarzkopf prionce and the color granate. Okay, we have more toner. I'm glad it's not permanent color. This is toner. So she definitely needs to do another layer. It's a little too light. Okay, I'm now done with the applying. Time to leave it in for 20 minutes. So let's get to the good news. The good news that it did work. Ooh, it's so vibrant. Not as good as I hoped it to do. So that's why I went to the hair shop and bought two bottles of directions and the color pillow box red. We're putting another round of color on, which I think is a good idea because she needs it, but this is a lot.  I am finally done with my hair and I think it turned out really good. What? She looks fun. I love this color on her skin tone. It's so fun. It's so fresh. I love her makeup. I think it's just really cute. I don't know. It's something else. I think it looks good with the black boots and just like it. And it's so vibrant. Sometimes with red, it really takes, you know, a couple of toners, a few, to really get it to stick on there and really be vibrant. Like especially with porous hair, it tends to really fall out quickly. But this looks dope. Congrats. Yes.

My name is Ling Lim. I lead the commercial architecture and technology solutions at HP. Our team designs a broad portfolio of commercial devices including commercial PC, thin client, mobile workstation, retail, education and accessories such as docking. One of the goals of our team is to lead in PC innovations through intelligence and contextual awareness. And SCMicro is a strong strategic partner to innovate with us because of their leading edge sensing technology and strong presence in this space. Using SCMicro's IMU or Inertial Measurement Unit with an embedded machine learning core, we designed our industry leading motion AI on table and on lap auto sensing modes for the new hybrid mode of work. Post COVID, many of our customers will be returning back to work, switching between days in our office and days working remotely from home, bringing their PCs along as they shuttle back and forth. At home, they will be working from many different spots such as at the desk, on the couch or even in bed by tying SC's motion sensing with our device intelligent thermal and power management. Our intent is to provide flexibility, productivity and comfort to improve experiences for our customers, wherever they may choose to work or play. This is launched this year on all our Elite Book 1000 series. My name is Nick Thama and I'm the Lead Sensor Architect in the Commercial Architecture and Technology Solutions Group by integrating SC's latest IMU with an embedded machine learning core into our devices. Our engineering team at HPE worked with SC's experts to train and build an AI model for recognizing various user activities based on device and user motion. The activities that we focused the machine training on were around detecting a laptop sitting on a table, used on a user's lap, being carried inside of a bag and taken out of a bag. Various groups within HPE volunteered to conduct these activities to collect data for analyzing and understanding unique motion pattern which then were fed into a machine learning tool for creating an AI model specific to HPE devices. By detecting these activities, our PCs are now able to intelligently manage its thermals and power states for best comfort when using the PC off the desk and best battery life when on the go. I'm Simole Ferri, Director of Marketing for Mems in ST Microelectronics. ST is the leader in the age of AI, but we wanted to aim even higher and innovate to reach what we call global system efficiencies. That's why we embed machine learning core inside the Mem Center. I'm Denise Sanfilippo, Application Engineer in Mems Division at ST. The LSM-6DS-OX incorporates a block able to run AI inside the sensor. This block provides a neural binary tree in five simple steps. Capture data, label it, build a decision tree with free tools, embed it in your application and finally process your data in real time. This block actually runs artificial intelligence, enabling HP computers to understand when the user scenario changes. Thanks to this highly specialized hardware block, a neural binary tree can run with a power consumption that is the equivalent of sleep mode, generally speaking. Have you ever dream of AI at 12 microamps? Well, now you can live the dream. We work with HP experts to identify the specific patterns of interest and build the AI model to enable thermal and power management. The device is called LSM-6DS-OX and is an IMU integrating high-performance accelerometer and gyroscope. So, with a 12 microamp power budget, HP computers detect the off-the-desk context, enabling the application processor to stand by and save power for what really counts productivity and comfort, wherever you are.


Hey, welcome to lesson on lighting Let me tell you this. This is the most interesting chapter Interesting, I would say the material that you would be learning and using in your life in our country as a homeowner We can do a lot in terms of savings for lighting lighting costs In this chapter, we are basically going to look at the basic lighting principles and definitions lighting principles is you know light can be generated in several ways and We are going to look at the ways in which we can generate light and which is the most efficient one of all these methods And we will also learn a little bit about you know some of the definitions like you know how light is measured and what is the intensity Light intensity and how do we measure the efficacy or efficiency of lighting and so on and so forth And we will also look at the different types of bulbs that are available around us to use actually most commonly we use incandescent bulb and Some of you are familiar with fluorescent bulbs and there are high-dent Intensity discharge lamps and all and we will be looking at how each of these types basically work and Also, how the light is generated. What is the efficiency of our with which we generate lighting? and As far as calculations are concerned We will be doing the most important calculation in this chapter that is again life cycle analysis life cycle analysis is As I mentioned in the last chapter it is the total cost over its life cycle life cycle is the moment you buy Until the moment it dies or basically it's it's put to retirement Until then what would it cost in other words the cost would be to buy it and To feed it the electricity or the energy and then if there are any maintenance costs, they're also involved so we have to calculate all these aspects over the lifetime of a particular bulb and Then compare bulb a with bulb B So that life cycle analysis is what you will have to spend Quite a bit of time and make sure that you understand this in this chapter and the way we measure the efficiency efficacy of lighting and Improved lighting controls if we have an existing home or existing system What can we add? How we can improve the efficiency how we can get more light for less energy? So this is a chapter where really in our country. We can almost save about 50% of our energy and we spend about Almost 40 billion dollars a year in this country on lighting so easily our country can save about 20 billion dollars and associated energy that is involved and the impact think about it impact That we can make by using more efficient light on the environment. So let's get started
