Man, what am I still doing here?  There's been a very popular news story over the past week. I Think worldwide, you know, not just Canada, not just America. Thousands stage peaceful protests in Ottawa against Canada's mandates. Thousands held a loud but peaceful protest in Canada's capital Ottawa on Saturday against Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's mandates on the streets and snow-covered lawn in front of Parliament. The so-called freedom convoy started out as a rally of truckers against our requirement for cross-border drivers, but turned into a demonstration against government overreach. So what's this about? More supply chain shortage fear-mongering. The government is intentionally keeping shelves empty to scare people and they just point fingers at these protesters You know, as the reason. It's like a pet owner blaming the monthly dog groomer if their pet starves to death because they forgot to feed him.  Of course, we know it's controlled opposition. It's a fake protest. An excellent quote is the revolution will not be televised and we've seen the media blatantly ignore dozens of incredibly large protests around the world over the past two years. What makes this one different? Are they trying to pretend like people are against the government so that they can pull the rug and back off on the mandates? Are they just going to lock down even harder after they give people a glimpse of hope that this nonsense is going to end? The policies and day-to-day stuff has not changed. Passports and these masks are still required in most places. Earlier this week Trudeau said the convoy represented a small fringe minority who do not represent the views of Canadians. About 90% of Canada's cross-border truckers and 77% of the population have had two shots. Trudeau announced a mandate for federal workers on the eve of the October election. Then last month Canada and the United States imposed one for cross-border truckers. I mean the articles don't make him seem too concerned yet he fled his home. Justin Trudeau and his family flee the Canadian capital for a secret location amid security concerns as 50,000 mandate freedom convoy truckers march days after being dismissed as a small fringe minority. What's hilarious is the clowns in charge always stick to the divide and conquer plan separating left and right saying completely ridiculous stuff to spark a reaction and get people arguing amongst each other. These types of groups are typically driven by attitudes, grievances and priorities of such a nature that they pose a particular risk to racialized folks and other groups that are traditionally the target of hate and violence. I'd call the convoy a canary in a coal mine, but the bird is long dead. For instance, we've known for some time that online right-wing extremism is on the rise in Canada as hate crimes continue to grow.  Some people were even saying that some plants were holding like confederate flags in the crowd to discredit the movement. The gas lighting is almost as bad as an article I saw yesterday. 300,000 Brits living with heart condition that could kill within five years without prompt treatment.   It's insane. Imagine if after that Fukushima nuclear disaster in Japan where all the radioactive waste was leaking into the ocean, that they started publishing news articles about a mysterious illness making people sick when they eat fish. The general public is so naive and brainwashed, they won't put two and two together, literally spelled out in people's faces. Most don't want to stand up for themselves and do anything. So they'll just take blow after blow until they're defeated since all of those other protests weren't covered, intentionally kept out of the news and now they want some people to know about this. I'm assuming it's just some false hope to keep people from actually protesting themselves. There's another famous quote, the best way to counter the opposition is to lead it yourself. And what gets brought up a lot, although it's one of the best analogies for this, you know when 9-11 happened and airport security became ridiculous, it never went back to normal.   You don't know what the truth is because if the government is lying this much now through their control of the media, online platforms, they can make up any fake event they want. Respond to it with whatever crooked policies, you know, the Hegelian dialectic that we've mentioned dozens of times. They literally just create whatever reality they want. The masses are in some type of abusive relationship with the government and it does not make any sense. Before this all happened, people didn't even trust the government. It was kind of like a necessary evil in the back of people's minds. Oh, these clones can't even keep the potholes, you know, filled. Yeah. However, with all of the fear mongering, psychological warfare every single day for years now, and I guarantee you, these psychopathic assholes in charge have done this before with other civilizations. Through that experience, through them doing this over and over and over again. They know how to manipulate a massive population to do whatever they want. So I guess that's it for today, guys. You asked for more news and although I didn't want to do it, I'm already skating on thin ice with getting warnings from YouTube for pointing out correct selling supplements yesterday.

Welcom y toff i TV er isd a Matri action Brighton 1 Everton 5. That's right Brighton 1 Everton 5. Unbelievable a way victory for Everton. A shock victory. I asked the other day could we be, could we get one of the, those results where nobody sees it coming and nobody saw this coming. Nobody saw this coming. My Mrs said 5 nil to Everton this morning. Yeah, in a mad, mad prediction. There you go, and maybe she just knows more than I did probably. But what a result for Sean Dite's men on the south coast.  Gone all the way down to the south coast and have seen Everton's best performance of the season. Probably best away performance for years. Just the tremendous, tremendous away performance. I mean, and you remember last season down at the AmEx Everton were fantastic. They won 2 nil. It should have been 5 that day. They destroyed Brighton on the counter and they did it today and it was incredible. They are a really good side, make no mistake about it. They're a team that definitely deserves Europe in football. They've been brilliant this season. And to go there and to not only beat them but to beat them in the way we have done is a sensational result for Everton. It don't matter to you if they play to him and question them over his persistence with Michael Keane. I'm trying to stick square pegs in round holes, play playing centre backs at right back instead of just playing the right back. He did it today. He put Jerry Meener in from the start. He put Nathan Patterson in following on from his decent display at Leicester on Monday and it worked the treat. Both players were fabulous. Meener, different class, fellas different class. Just the pity is injury record hasn't been great but now is the time we need it. Today we needed a performance from him.  But the old way to be fair, Everton started the game unbelievably well didn't he? Patterson gets a good block in, a woby into Dom. Fantastic turn by Dom and the Calvert Llewyn. It takes him away from dunk, good ball across and Adelaide Acore knocks it in after 33-34 seconds. The perfect start. You do, as an Evertonian think, have we scored a little bit early? Because it did get a little bit uncomfortable as it was always gone. Brighton were always gone after ball. What did you do? There was a step before about Sassuolo when Desabi was there having more possession than anyone else in Serie A. Doing that with a team like that is incredible. Doing it with a Brighton team who were used to it as well. Really difficult but Everton won up, defended. I thought Patterson after say Patterson opening 15-20 minutes was a little bit of seaweed metomer who's fantastic but he did get a grip to them and after that he was brilliant. Everton got a second goal, another break away. Dwight McNeill done fantastic. It was a lovely, lovely break away to be fair, a little move, ball through. Dwight McNeill done brilliant. Ball to the back post and Decore arriving. Volly in it. Passed steel from just inside the box. It was Decore's pass that got us on the way for the break away. Tune it up. Everton just, everyone just stuck to the task job and picked what made a big save when he had to. In terms of coming up for crosses and getting blocks in. And we just hit them on the counter attack. In fact, I'm thinking of the save. It was just after half time. There was no Brighton didn't have an attempt on goal in the first 45 minutes. Everton were that good. We got a third goal, another good break away. Alex Awabi, if he just carries on with the ball he would have found Decore. Over hit it. Decore kept it alive. Dwight McNeill took it on. Fire did a cross and he went into the net fire Luke Steele. Steele, the left of Dom's behind him maybe would have tapped him for three. But we were a three in the loop and cutting through them at ease. We could have had a fourth, another break away. Dwight McNeill couldn't just squeeze it through to Dom and called it loon. And then we had one more right on half time and I thought he'd gone four-nil. Good run again by McNeill, great feet. Cut it back to James Garner and he beat the goalie but Lewis Dunksdale to clear it off the line to stop it being four-nil. He'd come out second half and the pessimist Evertonian in me was thinking if it had just gone four I'd have been a bit more confident. They made four changes at the break. They were a better side in the second half and Everton did after thank Jordan Pickford, made three tremendous saves. One from Evan Ferguson pushing it onto the bar, pushed the header from McAllister onto a post. Another great save as well. When he had two and that's what it's all about. We broke away, we got a fourth goal. Great ball from a Wobie getting us through and McNeill going on and going to shoot and just check him back inside putting Duncan on his backside going round steel and have the audacity to walk it in and give it the Ross Barclay arms in the air before it went in for four-nil.  You could just see all of those, the headlines. But we rode it out, we got blocks in and you know we were able to see that our dom manager made a couple of changes am ydy o'r mnane a'n dom i'r Calvert Llywun. Am ydy o'r mnane, coming on Neil Mawpai came on for Dom as well and we broke and got a fifth brilliant Neil Mnane with a fabulous ball through and McNeill going on and on and just giving it, they think it's all over. It is now the same kind of goal into the river, the net for five-one and absolutely sensational display from Everton away from home. McNeill was brilliant this one. Being criticised, I've given some criticism early on in his career at Everton, really poor but I stepped up brilliantly on the show on that. Lately he's been excellent, got the goals. I think that's seven for this evening. He could argue it could be a hat trick off steel but he's been fantastic with the goals of late and to put us to get a five-one victory away from home. Again, such a good scene is a sensational result and obviously we've seen less to get back to the full of me earlier in the day Forrest and Southampton are playing now and Forrest winning, Forrest are winning at the time of recording. They expected them to beat Southampton but you never know. We can look after ourselves and we've got a huge, huge victory today. It's difficult for once, there was so many. Diolch yn Pickford's made massive saves to keep us in it. I thought Dominic Calverlun was sent 60 on the front. Midfield, Garnet, Decorae, brilliant, two goals but I'm going to give it to Dwight McNeill. He scored two goals, he could argue two and a half with the one off steel. Also set the goal off for Adelaide Decorae. He got to be Man of the Mat, he never stopped running, never stopped working. So Dwight McNeill is my Man of the Mat. It's a great evening for Everthrop. Enjoy it, forget about Forrest, whatever happens happens but we've given ourselves a great, great opportunity to stay in the Premier League. I feel one more win. We'll see you next time. We've got three opportunities at that. So that's a great position to be in. Enjoy your blues, enjoy the night. Thanks for watching. See you later. Up the toughies.


Rugby is elegant violence. It all comes down to someone being violent in the moment. It's an individual being violent against another individual. There's a beauty to that and that's what makes this sport great. The timing of passes, the timing of runs, it's elegant because it seems like it's complete chaos in the field but you see guys offload their passes or move the ball around in such a way that it seems like there's no rhyme or reason but there's so much stop behind those passes to get that guy through just the way people support each other and how they run their lines. It truly turns to be elegant. Once you start appreciating it just passed the contact moment. You need to be a balance of strength and endurance. I think it's a great opportunity for not only for myself to play but to show the other Marines that these kind of programs exist. The best part about playing for the Marine Corps is seeing some of these other guys develop. Seeing the guys that haven't played that much either on their own or with clubs, learning from their other teammates and then just progressing as a player that's definitely the most rewarding part. Don't be afraid to fail. Come out here and have fun.  Be the man in the arena. It's a blast once you get out there and you'll surprise yourself and it's a great opportunity and don't miss out on it.


The entire world is gradually feeling the consequences of the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine, as well as the impact of the global COVID-19 pandemic. Therefore, religious leaders must continue to seek God's intervention. While this was the submission of the Lagos State Governor, Babajideh Sanmolu was receiving the leadership of the Nigeria Baptist Convention, led by its president, Reverend Dr. Israel Akonji, who paid him a courtesy visit at Lagos House Marina. Sanmolu appealed for continued religious tolerance, peace, unity and safety in Lagos State. Nigeria and the world congratulated the Baptist leaders for their ongoing 109th Convention and promised to collaborate with stakeholders to see what could be done to resolve some of the issues presented to him by the leadership of the Nigerian Baptist Convention. If anybody does not understand what peace is, let them test what you can see, what is happening in Ukraine, it's not something anybody wishes for. And whilst we are back in that, and we can begin to see the consequences of it, you know, higher energy crisis, food supply chain, disruption in world logistics, and it's affecting everyone. We all can sit back, you know, and say that, no, it's far from me. The global market is a single market now. Everything is globalized, and when you see disruption in some parts, it affects some other... Speaking earlier, Reverend Akaji commanded Babaji De Sanmolu's administration for the harmony between Christians, Muslims, and Lagos State, and urged people to be courageous and not be hopeless in Nigeria. He appealed to the governor to complete the process of returning the Lagos Baptist Secondary School of Riliyagege to the church. We wish to request of you to complete the process of returning the Lagos Baptist Secondary School of Riliyagege to us. The process actually began when Governor Ahmed Tinubu released the schools to the missionary bodies, but through the subsequent governments, the process is yet to be completed, although it has gone very far.

Hell yeah. What's up guys? This is Chris Pipe. My friends call me Big C. I'm back again guys today I got some free tool stuff for you. That's right I want to talk to you about a free tool called uber suggest guys This is a free keyword suggestion tool that allows you to enter in a keyword or a key phrase for that matter Put it into the tool and bang It's gonna spit back a whole bunch of suggestions on other topics that you might want to do a video about Let me give you a kind of overview or an example. Let's say you just bought follow-up for Obviously a million people did it, but you bought follow-up for and you want to make videos about follow-up for well A lot of people will start out with a broad idea like you know follow-up for let's play part one Follow-up for let's play part two.  It's just the way it is So instead of that you can use a keyword tool like uber suggest and instead of starting out with broad ideas like that Or broad let's plays or or maybe you know broad level guides or whatever You can get real narrow real focus real quick for example, you put in follow-up for and Bang it's gonna spit out hundreds of ideas by alphabets So, you know, it's it's follow-up for a and then it'll be like follow-up for armor follow-up for alchemy follow-up for A hole I don't know all of these different things and you can then look at this list Say hey, you know what I know this or I'm interested in this and you can start making videos about that I know if you guys paid 60 70 80 bucks for a triple a game, for example Probably want to make some videos you want to get some mileage out of it This tool is as a tool that can help you with it now guys I am going to do a tutorial at the end of this little chit chat here to show you how the tool works and Maybe give you some comments as to how I'm going to use it in my day-to-day, you know video tutorial world I'll give you an example with a game like follow-up for or bloodborne or something like that There's a new DLC that launched and then I'll give you another example like a Shakespeare play like Macbeth And then I'll show you how it works for that too also guys There will be a second component to this video tomorrow and then I'm going to show you how to use the uber suggest tool in Conjunction with the keyword planning tool now these things when they work together You can actually see you can get ideas through, you know uber Suggest and then you can go into your keyword planning tool and then see how many people are searching for these topics And you can see how many searches per month now It's not perfect because you know some new games they get you know They get all the searches all at once and then they slow down over time and it's it's not perfect But I am going to show you how that works tomorrow But for now enjoy that uber suggest tutorial if you want to try this to a load it is free The link is in the description below and now let's do the tutorial. This is big seed checking out enjoy it Be right back All right, welcome to the tutorial section of the video Here's the tool guys uber suggest org up here Type that in you go to the website and there's a search box and here's where the magic happens now What was I talking about follow for let's use that as an example? It's a pretty popular game. You might have heard about it. You hit the suggest button and Bang it's gonna give you a whole bunch of suggestions Now the first two aren't all that useful because they have they're just very general But once you get follow up for plus a what does that mean? It means you they've they've typed in follow up for in the searches and then words that start with a so follow up for Armor follow up for alpha follow up for arg Whatever you can actually see here that people are searching for these terms And they're actually for the more popular ones They give you the number of views per month and cost per click, but we're not doing cost per pick advertising That's not useful for you But if you look at them, you know what you could say hey, I got follow up for and I don't know what to do A video about I did a whole bunch of let's plays But I want to you know, I want to get some real mileage out of my follow up for and I want to record some videos So yeah, let's see, you know, maybe you got some armor action going on click on that And now it's gonna allow you to drill in and take a real close look at the different options best armor and follow for best power armor and follow up for Every single thing you see here is A real search term that are being typed into Google and to search engines YouTube Google and to a lesser degree Yeah, who binging all that stuff, but these are real searches that are happening What does that mean if from from my perspective as somebody that owns follow up for for example And I want to make videos about the game I could start taking these terms the ones that interest me and I could start doing some research on them Or I could just start making videos about these topics. How many ideas are here? I've got like at least 10 maybe 20 good ideas For videos just based on this list alone now the next thing you could do is Let's say we want to look at follow-up for but best armor and follow-up for let's Copy that control C go to YouTube See what it's what the results come back with Follow up for best armor. That's a week old 284,000 views That's a hell of a lot of views, but to dynamic is a pretty big youtuber. I just hover over it Yeah, 407,000 subscribers. He's doing all right or she's doing all right but as you can see here follow up for all armor sets follow up for Best or get the best armor and follow up for without cheating. This one's a IGN It's a week old but guys the point of this is that there are tons of ideas and that's just for Armor in letter a you know what go through the list here. Maybe you'll see something that interests you Let's go with follow up for Best weapons here we go drill into that and Then you could create like a weapons video where you you show off all the best weapons that you picked out Best weapons follow up for there's probably a lot of people making videos about that, but let's take a look at All right, where are the best weapons and follow up for where to find the best weapons take that control C Copy that into here. Let's see what the competition looks like for that follow up for Rare weapon guide. Yeah. All right follow up for rare weapons rare weapons rare weapons, okay There doesn't look to be a video about where to find best weapons and follow up for That is an opportunity for you to create a video that says follow up for Dash where to find best weapons and follow for or where to yeah We're to find the best weapons or something like that and make a video about it Why would I suggest that video? Maybe even more than a let's play simple This is a very narrow search and people are searching for this. We know they're searching for this Yes, people are searching for let's plays and broad terms like that But the competition for that is massive the competition for very narrow search terms Isn't as anywhere near the same as the big stuff So just keep that in mind in most business books most business strategies Generally suggest start narrow and then work your way out So take something that's really really specific and then as you get more popular you get more authority You get more trust you get more expertise you get all those other things that go along with that You get more videos more views more subscribers etc etc then narrow then broaden your field from specific to broad that's just general business practice and You could see here that there's an opportunity to make a video on that topic and go nuts on it Now maybe if you want to go a little further we could type that into the keyword Google ad words of the keyword planner. We haven't talked about this yet And I will talk about this tomorrow, but I'll give you a little bit of a jump start on it and hit click ideas Where to find best weapons and follow for Now we're looking at average monthly searches when I hover over it You will notice it's got a really weird spike because well the game launched obviously So it only has one real good month of data But let's click on this follow up for here and drill in and see what we got follow up for best armor For example averages 12,100 searches per month in google That's an actual number and because you can see here 390 390 320. It's a very very exact number Creating a video about that you can actually potentially get maybe thousand two thousand ten thousand Views per month because you will own that search term that will be a keyword that you will have created the best video for Just an idea, but it's it's the real deal and if you're not a gamer I'll do a real quick piece here. You can actually make some other you can make another thing Like let's go with a Shakespeare play because you know, it's just a general thing. We're piping in Macbeth Here we go Macbeth you type it in you can look here Macbeth sparknodes Macbeth movie Macbeth 2015 There's a movie coming out, but maybe you wanted maybe you're doing I don't know Maybe you're doing plot summaries or themes or those types of things Look here Macbeth and the witches for example 260 searches per month click on that I'm gonna go ahead and See what it suggests and I while it Banco and Macbeth reaction of the witches all of these things are potential Videos the witches and Macbeth that I could go ahead and make a video about and I know that it will get Results because people are searching for this stuff So paste that in Macbeth and the witches. Let's see who's got stuff on it Act one scene one of Macbeth. Okay, that's kind of relevant.  That's how search engine Optimization works. That's how keyword planning works. It's very very simple, but you know That's how it works guys. So anyways, I hope this little tutorial helped out I know it's not extremely exact yet, but there's no real exact science to this. There is a whole lot of Um guesswork, but you know, this helps you come up with some ideas and yeah, anyways leave a comment on this I hope you enjoyed it and I'll be back tomorrow with some Keyword planner Google keyword planner tips and tutorials. All right check it out


N3 Toll Route Fully Functional Johannesburg, police minister Biky Seal is on the N3 toll route after chaos due to protest action on the national road on Monday morning. At least two trucks were set alight and more looted by a group of protesters near the Mui River toll gate since the early hours of the morning. According to officials, a group of demonstrators took the keys from truck drivers who were traveling on the route between KwaZulu Natal and Goten, forcing them to block traffic. The road both north and southbound has been reopened after police dispersed the crowd. Other law enforcement agents have also been deployed to the area. Spokesperson to the minister of police Nankol Yulko Fokon said, the minister rushed there with the top management of the police in KZN. They then deployed the public order policy of the Saps. We were able to manage the situation and the traffic is flowing. The alternative routes the R103, the blockages have been cleared and the traffic is flowing.


If you're struggling to get through all of your tasks in a day, especially if you work from home, this video is for you. We're talking about how to schedule your life and get organized when you're working from home. Hey, it's Leanne from leancolderwood.com. We're talking about scheduling when you're working from home, but a lot of the tips we're going to cover today also apply if you're working in a traditional work setting as well. So for my meeting partners out there, if you're working in a hotel or working for a destination, chances are somewhere along the way they've offered you perhaps an opportunity to take some work home with you or you can work from home a couple days a week. Some of you are actually probably working from home full time in the meetings industry. And there's a lot of challenges that come from working from home and you can learn about some of those challenges in my videos above here. So what we're talking about today is scheduling your life when you're working from home and making sure that everything gets done. So here's some quick tips and tricks that will help you schedule your life so that at the end of the day you do feel accomplished and you can head into the next day feeling refreshed and energized because you got everything off of your to-do list. Tip number one, live by your calendar. Whether your calendar is electronic and it's on your phone or your laptop, or if you're still working with a paper planner, which I think is fantastic. And we'll talk about those in a minute. Make sure you live by it. So if you're going to invest in either of these tools, make sure you use them and you live by them. You let them rule your day and not let the distractions and the other people in your world rule your day. That's exactly about paper planners. They have come a long way since they were just little calendars coiled on the sides. In fact, there's two that I recommend that are in my blog post on this topic, which I'll post below. But both Michael Hyatt and Kerry Green have planners that also include pages that help you plan and goal set and create a real strategy for your business. I recommend getting a planner that has a bit more goal setting in store versus just the calendar itself. So enough said about that. Tip number two, schedule high important tasks during your biological prime time. Now, you're probably wondering what is biological prime time? Well, Chris Bailey talks about it a lot in his work over at alifeofproductivity.com. And basically, your biological prime time is when you are at your most creative and most energized and your most alert and are able to really tackle those high strategic projects that require critical thinking. So if you look at your hours in the day from when you wake up to go to bed, there's some times in there one or two times where you just feel like you can tackle the world. That's probably your biological prime time. And so if you schedule your high important tasks during that time and leave the mundane tasks for times when you're not feeling as energized, then you're really going to see some great work happen. So make sure you schedule your high important tasks during your biological prime time. Conversely, tip number three, also schedule the gravel. So now you've got these important tasks plunked into your calendar. Now it's time to maybe put some calendar appointments for yourself to tackle the mundane tasks or what we call gravel. And that comes from The Five Choices book by Franklin Covey. And gravel is all of those emails and phone calls that have been coming in, things that don't require a lot of critical thinking, but you still got to get through them anyway to push projects forward. So let's batch all of those together and do it outside of your biological prime time. So a good example for me is between the hours of 1 and 2pm when I'm not feeling my most alert. That's when I actually tend to a ton of my emails and I go through them all. So I get rid of like 30, 40 emails at a time. Make sure that my meeting partners have the information they need. Projects are moving forward, but it didn't require a lot of critical thinking for me. Conversely, contract review for me is best done in the morning because that's when I'm feeling on top of things and I wouldn't miss details. Or rather, I wouldn't miss as many details. So let's schedule our gravel as well. Tip number four, schedule your exercise. Now you've got family, you've got friends, you've got work priorities. Exercise is probably the last thing on your list and it really shouldn't be. It should be a priority. So please make sure the exercise gets scheduled into your calendar and make sure you do it.  Schedule it in your calendar. Make it a priority. Your health should be your number one priority. So make sure you schedule and maintain your appointments with your health. Tip number five, group block your appointments. So if you have appointments outside of the house, be it with clients or other meeting partners or even friends and family, try to group block all of those together and save on the commute time back and forth, back and forth, back and forth to all of these places. Or maybe it's even going to run some errands when you're out doing your exercise so you don't have to run downtown again later on in the day and save yourself the commute time. So try to group block all your appointments together in a half day or whatever that looks like for you. This is also a great tip for when you're traveling and visiting clients as well to save some commute time. Tip number six, protect your work time. So now that we're working from home, perhaps we're not the traditional nine to five, but we still need to protect work time and get that done. So for me, it's really tough right now because it's the summer and I live in a tourist destination. And there's lots of people coming here for holidays. And I'm so happy to see my friends and family when they're coming to my house for holidays. But my house is also my workplace and I'm not on holidays. So I need to be very careful with protecting my work time when summer distractions arrive. But these can happen year round. Just make sure you protect your work time. Protect it fiercely if you want to get things done. Tip number seven, take your work with you. So a lot of us decided to work from home because of the flexibility it provided and that we could take time off when our friends and family visited, or we could run our kids around the plethora of activities that they have. I'm sorry, but I don't know about your kids, but my kids have something every day, every day. I take my work with me. So whether it's going to the hockey rink to drop them off for practice or going to the gymnasium and then the nearby coffee shop, I take my laptop with me. Now, if you can't take your laptop with you or you don't have a laptop, take an industry magazine. Take a notebook. Do something that helps push projects forward, helps keep you abreast of industry trends. Something you can take in the car with you when you're out running around with your kids to all of their various activities. And the final tip or rather piece of advice and you've probably garnered this from the last seven tips is forget about trying to create work-life balance and just focus on life. I think work-life balance is a myth. I think when people talk about work-life balance, they're talking about these separate personalities and they're combating for your time. When you work from home, work is life and life is work. And as soon as you start to accept that it's not combat of in nature, but it's more of a flow, you're going to get more done, especially at work. And that manifests itself differently for everybody. For myself, it does mean I go to work out in the middle of the day. But at the same token, I take my laptop to the beach. So there's trade-offs that we all have to ensure that we're getting all of our man hours in or work hours in, as well as finding time for ourselves to enjoy our lives. So I look at it as life and especially when you work from home, your work is your life and it's a big part of who you are. So I hope these tips helped. If you're thinking about working from home or your hotel or destination has maybe given you an opportunity to work a few days from home here and there, but you're not sure it's a good fit for your personality. I invite you to check out the tool, Work from Home Self-Evaluation Tool at liankulderwood.com. I'll have a link below here where you can click on, but if you go over to liankulderwood.com, click under Resources and look for the Work from Home Self-Evaluation Tool. That'll lead you through a series of questions to determine is working from home a good fit for you. So I hope you find value in that tool as well. Thanks for watching this video. Hope you have a great week and we'll see you next time. Bye for now.


We went from this to desktop to laptop to mobile and now I'm carrying this here on my arm. What's the first thing we do when we buy a new device? We spend like a minute to just say okay, don't we?  It's like, okay, okay, okay, okay. Yeah, it works now. Now I can monitor my sleeping habits and stuff. In this part of the world, we are terrified of what's going on in China. The social credit system, the surveillance. But the fact that Elon Mark and Jeff owns all our data, that's perfectly fine. What could possibly go wrong? So when you think about this, remember one thing about the digital transformation. The digital transformation is done. Only old people talk about digital.


All right, there's sound here. Let's watch it in full Very cool. There's also a reference. So here's the original Definitely see that you made some changes Cool cool cool. All right, so I watched this side by side to see where you made the changes And I really like where you deviated from the reference So here are my thoughts. It's cool, and I definitely need to review this rig This is part of the look rig that comes if you get the bundle get discover free Now question for you Do you want to or would you consider? Involving the sound a bit more So right now you got that explosion Gunshot, whatever the characters just going back Again, not that this doesn't work. Just question for you. Would you do something where maybe the character is Maybe in a less, you know some that's static pose, but something where it could be in a more engaging pose So what if you know that leg will be will be further out and there's there's more There's more of a anarchy with a certain pose like whatever it is, right? And then you can snap into Into that and it may be pushed up for silhouette Push that leg out with my awesome drawing here. So it's not that kind of it's not muddled I mean, it's clear to but I think it could be as opposed push potentially But the reason why I'm saying the thing about the post change is that That's on that also the the sound and the snap into this pose It would be more combined and in sync if that makes sense Now this is still in Step so to me, there would be something really that's in the reference. I would probably Either go back with this and add and then flourish in the hands Maybe or there might be something and bumping the mic mic here. It's like goes back and something more with the shoulders. I Know you won't contrast and there's different movement here But it's also a bit static through this It can also be going back and then going back and then the head does like a thing on one point I would still look at some flourishes here and there and break away from the reference Like even on something like this you could have I don't know if you if it starts here Spitball in here is completely wrong, right?  This is not part of the review so imagine towards the end the head is down and then on this it's more of a head-up arc Into this so we can kind of Transition a bit more strongly more strongly or that's English Same thing here. I like that. It leads with this And then you're gonna have that flourish with that hand and that's not too long goes into that. That's cool See that's cool BAM where that pose is timed with the sound and I wonder if after this here We can go to something strong and then just that I know he's stomping that leg but Goes into this and then fa-bam where it's again I don't know if you want to go higher with the with the roots for more stretched out legs and maybe arms out Hands out something if it's a person. I feel like something a bit stronger there And here's the only thing which is also not super clear in the in the point of view of the of the reference camera That works you got the crossing and maybe I should change my colors Can still work it gets a bit muddy there in terms of the silhouette Especially through here with all the same colors and stuff. I'm not sure about that that gets better I do like that with especially with the twist in the body and This maybe once you spline it it will be more clear, but then it gets a bit like what is this Elbow it's not the best little bit for an elbow straight a camera And then just the arm goes up a bit and then goes back to the head. It's just not as interesting This is where I would completely deviate from the reference and do potentially something different the way it's like Madonna and vogue style where it's like more circling with the hands around the head Maybe I was throwing the things out there That gets better was you got a twist get a nice silhouette. That's cool. I love that swing around that's great I love that. It's also more pushing in the reference. Love how far low down you go. Love this here That's a really nice line of action all the way into the fingers. It's really cool. And that's great Somewhat time to the sound that's cool. I think That could still have something a baby Almost reflecting this pose where you do this, but it's a bit more of a twist with This arm then for the back with maybe the head up more, you know something maybe a bit stronger So you have that last energy and like full pose That then drops into just falling versus you're already kind of oh like almost like I got shot versus that's my last dance pose. That's a crafted pose If that makes sense And that's that It's very cool Lots of nice poses. Yeah, so thought suggestions and all that could stop email me Let me know what you think and let's move on from there. Thank you All right, there's an email you can sign up you can start whenever you want You can submit whatever beyond you get 16 submissions either way a like and subscribe would be awesome. All right. Thank you


Hi, I'm John Furrier, the co-founder of SiliconANGLE Media and co-host of The Cube. I've been in the tech business since I was 19, first programming on mini-computers in a large enterprise and then worked at IBM and Eulah Packard, a total of nine years in the enterprise, various jobs from programming, training, consulting, and ultimately as an executive salesperson, and then started my first company in 1997 and moved to Silicon Valley in 1999. I've been here ever since. I've always loved technology, and I love covering emerging technology, as trained as a software developer and love business, and I love the impact of software and technology to business. To me, creating technology that starts a company and creates value in jobs is probably one of the most rewarding things I've ever been involved in. And I bring that energy to The Cube because The Cube is where all the ideas are and where the experts are, where the people are. And I think what's most exciting about The Cube is that we get to talk to people who are making things happen, entrepreneurs, CEO of companies, venture capitalists, people who are really on a day in and day out basis, building great companies. And the technology business is just not a lot of real-time live TV coverage, and The Cube is a non-linear TV operation. We do everything that the TV guys on cable don't do. We do longer interviews. We ask tougher questions. We ask sometimes some light questions. We talk about the person and what they feel about. It's not prompted and scripted. It's a conversation. It's authentic. And for shows that have The Cube cover it, it makes the show buzz. It creates excitement. More importantly, it creates great content, great digital assets that can be shared instantaneously to the world. Over 31 million people have viewed The Cube, and that is the result of great content, great conversations. And I'm so proud to be part of The Cube with a great team. Hi, I'm John Furrier. Thanks for watching The Cube.


When it comes to washing your vehicle, selecting a pH balance auto motor car wash is important. If you're using a traditional bucket method, our deep crystal car wash or our gold glass shampoo and conditioner are both great for safely removing dirt and grime while preserving wax protection. If you're looking to add some extra protection while washing, our ultimate wash and wax provides carnuba and polymer protection as you are washing, boosting gloss, and slickness. With any of our car washes, remember to always wash and dry in the shade and follow the dilution recommendations. We also recommend using a two-bucket approach, one bucket with your wash solution and the second to rinse out your wash mitt. This minimizes swirl marks by keeping your wash solution free from dirt and grime. If you're looking for a waterless approach, washing your vehicle with our ultimate waterless wash and wax is a great choice. No matter which method you use, always use premium clean accessories like wash mitts and microfiber towels for best results.


Okay, it's Wednesday. I'm Jay Feindell. This is Think Tech. Why should you be surprised? Okay, and we have Community Matters right now with Gigi Davidson. And she is the center person of Ohana Computer, Computer with a K. Hi, Gigi. Aloha. How are you today? Good. I'm just as good as I was, you know, years ago when you and I had a show before. Me too. There's two shows we had before.  Thank you. So Ohana Computer is, for years and years, it's been finding, sometimes rehabilitating and distributing computers to disadvantaged communities in Hawaii. This is a real mitzvah. And, you know, up to this point, we've been very happy that you've done that. And did I misstate anything there? Yes. Actually, we haven't really, we've found a nominal amount of computers and distributed them. That's not our primary focus. Our primary focus is teaching computer application skills within the community, which often lacks computers. So we try and help them look for them. What kind of skills? Basic computer application skills, word processing, desktop publishing, spreadsheets, multimedia, database. What we find is that most children today, they're very good at texting and playing games and manipulating the internet. But that's very different than using the computer appropriately to do their schoolwork. Yeah. So what makes, what makes you qualified to do this? Well, we've been doing this for 20 years. So we've developed a curriculum that's been updated several times and primarily focusing on Microsoft Office. And before this COVID pandemic started, we already had the idea that the next phase for us would be to create an online version of our curriculum. And we wrote a grant and we got funded in April after the pandemic hit, so it became much more relevant. So that's what we're working on, full tilt boogie right now. That's, that's a term we use here at Think Tech very often, full tilt boogie. We must be related to something. Anyway, Gigi, so COVID has changed things. And indeed, one of the things that strikes me, I mean, you're dealing with the underprivileged communities that disadvantaged low income communities. And so you've probably seen the digital divide. In fact, the digital divide sounds like it's right in the middle of Ohana computer. That's what it's about. And now COVID comes along and COVID, see if you agree with me on this, COVID accentuates, it aggravates, exacerbates the digital divide. Because, you know, because in the digital, in COVID time, we are more dependent than we were before. We, meaning all of us, are more dependent on computers. And so, you know, if I have a computer, I'm happy to have a computer, then I'm able to spend my time productively and so forth. But if I don't have a computer, I'm not able to do that. And I lose ground. And that's part of this is part of going back to school. It's going back, you know, it's part of the going back to school issue that people are talking about all over the country, about whether a parent wants a child to go back or not go back. And you know, they, I think this is a euphemistic thing about it. They say, you know, I want my kid to go back to school, but built into that embedded into that is the kid at school has a computer at home. He may not have a computer, or he may not have the people like you who will teach them how to use the computer and therefore narrow the digital divide. So what are your thoughts about that whole issue? How right am I? How wrong am I? Well, I think you're pretty right. I think the head of the DOE said that 75% have computers. So computers are a problem and so is connectivity a problem. Actually it's throwing the educational system into a tailspin because in March they were just thrust into having to go online and they were ill prepared to do it at that time. And they still actually have a long way to go. They're focusing on trying to get computers to families that don't have them and connectivity. And I think the community is helping with that. But I had a thought today that, okay, the community can help with that, but we probably need to do some parent training on, okay, how do you monitor your child? How do you build in safety? How do they log in? How do you pay attention to what they're doing? How do you keep them productive? Likewise, so, you know, I feel like we're working with a couple of schools and it's still evolving. It's really hard to make significant progress because they're all worried about what are they going to do? How are they going to do it? They need computers, they know that, but has it been well thought out and planned out and have they had an appropriate time to do so? I don't think so. And you can't just put the Band-Aid approach, but that's what's going to happen for right now. Yeah, okay, but what's the goal? What's the vision? How do you see this unfolding in the optimal way, Gigi? Well, I think that the world is going towards more distance learning. Who knows how long this pandemic is going to be around. And I think we have to be prepared to for it. Personally, if I had a young child, I don't think I'd want them to be in school right now. I don't feel like it's really safe. And then they bring it home and then it gets spread to the family. I don't know. But I guess every parent has a different take. And of course parents have to go to work. So there's lots of problems that come into play that have never, nobody's ever had to address before. So it's a big systemic problem, I think. But I do feel like people need to be prepared to go towards more distant learning. And that's the way of the future anyway. So we shouldn't be fighting it. I'm not saying that we shouldn't be in the classroom. That's the ideal situation. But as an alternative, and maybe there's a mix of both that can occur. Well, you know, Zoom has arrived. We are in the Zoom world now. And one of the things that sticks with me to respond to your point is that there's a lot of colleges in the country that are shutting down. And education, higher education is changing. There's as long as COVID lasts, they really don't want those kids there. And I know that they need the money. They need the tuition. And they're losing the Chinese students because Chinese students are leaving already. Huge source of revenue. So colleges are in trouble. Education hasn't traditionally been quick to change, which is kind of contrary to what it should be. So it's really kind of forcing the issue. But I think there's kind of a lot of band-aid approaches. I think it needs to be well thought out and well planned. And it takes time to do that correctly. But in the meantime, in the meantime, things will move to online learning and it'll get better. Like when our curriculum is done, it's going to be very interactive. And it's going to be so the teacher can lead it online with the kids and or maybe used as a standalone unit in case of need. But what's very important for kids is they're very impulsive. Their attention span is a nanosecond. So it has to be very interactive or they're not going to do it. They're just going to skip it. And someone has to monitor them. There's always going to be a need for a classroom teacher, whether it's through Zoom or in the classroom. Because otherwise, you're just giving them free rein to goof around. Well, let's talk about this other thing that came out in the paper. Or maybe I saw it on television. The tube blend, it seems like to me these days. It was an entrepreneur, a very innovative entrepreneur who sends around teachers to teach in small groups. And so the teacher comes to your house, sort of like the violin teacher, you know, or the piano teacher comes to your house. And maybe you have a bunch of kids in the same family.  And they chip in and pay this person. And this person teaches them at home. And that's better, I suppose, in terms of COVID. And you remember that photograph of all those hundreds of kids in a hallway? That was just perfect to make the point. But this would have masks. This would have a little distance. And this would have somebody to watch those kids so they don't go off the side. What do you think of that idea? Has that got traction? I think it's definitely viable. I have a teacher who's getting lots of requests from her friends that have children. And she said, her advice is, you know, you got to sit down, you got to make a plan, you got to do this, this, this and much every week. Otherwise, you're going to make no progress. And she's like, they just want to hire me to do it, you know, for them. So I think there's some validity. And I guess you would call it sort of a small group of homeschooled people with teachers. You know, at the moment, that would certainly be valid. The problem with that, and the article mentioned it, is that it further accentuates the digital divide. Not every parent can afford to chip in for that person. And so what you have is the disadvantaged kids. I mean, your community, they won't have that choice. And if you have some money, you'll have that choice. And now months go by or even semesters or years go by, and there's a real divide between the kids who have that benefit and the ones who don't. That troubles me. That is very troublesome. And like I also thought has occurred to me, I was like, why are we like in a rush? Why shouldn't we be safe? And in the scope of a child's life, say we push back education a little bit in the long run, what difference is it really going to make if you push it back six months or a year and do it correctly? Granted, it puts a hardship on parents because they have to work. But if they get their kid home with COVID, they can't go to work anyway. I agree with you 100,000%. That's one of those elephant in the room thoughts where we should have thought of that before. So everybody says, oh, yeah, this will all be fixed in six months or a year. So we can wait six months or a year. Why expose your kid to the disease? And why have your kid come home and expose you to the disease? And why have the whole school system exposed to the disease? And every parent and everybody associated with every kid exposed to the disease, that's what you get out of the White House these days. That's what you get. That's not thought out. Not a good idea. Your point is really well taken, Gigi. I really appreciate that. But what about the notion of having, I'm just thinking, because I found in our conversations that I can do this with you. I can have a kind of free flow, free association. So what about having these kids on Zoom and having a teacher join them by Zoom?  That's how it's going to have to happen right now. And that's how the distance learning is going to transpire. And there's other platforms. There's Zoom or Google Hangouts. And there's many that do the same sort of thing. So the teacher plays a double role in the model I'm thinking about. One is the teacher teaches. And she or he can see all the people, all the people in the class right there. Like you and I can see on Zoom now in the gallery view. But the teacher does more than teach. The teacher watches. The teacher says, Jimmy, why aren't you concentrating? Come on, Jimmy. You're not paying attention. Yeah. You're not paying attention. And you can see it. Or Jimmy takes a walk and the teacher says, wait a minute, Jimmy. This time is dedicated to our class. Don't take a walk. Now, I mean, I think that would work at a certain age. You're going to be more familiar with the concentration capabilities of kids at certain ages. But at a certain age, I think the teacher could handle that, especially if the parent now who's at work or something, the parent says to Jimmy, you better listen. If you don't listen, I'm going to hear about it. I'm going to get you. So you better listen to the teacher. And the teacher tells you the teacher is speaking for me as if I were here. So my question is, how young can that go? When does that start being meaningful in terms of most kids? I would say third grade and up should be able to do that pretty easily. I think it's a little bit harder with the younger guys. But if you make it fun and engaging, it could even happen with them. There definitely has to be elements of fun in there. It has to be very kid friendly. Yeah. I think it could definitely happen. And the other thing is there is software. It would be nice to be able to see where they're sitting and their screens of their computer and each individual one so you could really be on them. But the schools don't all have that. And then the problem with equity of some people think that you have connectivity, but they think like, well, if I have it on my phone, I have it at home. Well, that's not necessarily true. So connectivity is a big issue for their low income population.  You need a more sophisticated system than that. Some of it you can do. But, you know, so what we found with a school in Waimanala that we work with is, you know, some of the parents thought, well, if they can get it on their phone, that's good enough. You can't do learning on a phone for a kid. You know, the Department of Education is not spending a lot of money right now, because they're not in operation. I know they have fixed costs and they got to take care of the teachers and the teacher union. But suppose they took some of that money, spare money, and they bought every kid, including especially disadvantaged kids, a serviceable computer. You know, buy it in bulk, it's cheaper and all that. I feel like I think I heard that there was like 114,000 school-aged children on Oahu and 75% of them already have computers. So you're only talking about having to buy computers for 25%, which seems like it should be doable. Yeah. So, I mean, there's got to be money for this because we're saving money in other areas of education. And whether we are or not, there's got to be money for this because this is, you know, if you believe it's important that these kids get educated, then you will buy them a computer and you narrow the gap, the digital divide. One of the problems too is that it has to be kid-friendly and kids dirty because kids drop home and you have to have a certain amount of replacement and they're hard on them. So, it's also a matter of teaching them to be respectful of that. And the safety, there's a lot of safety protocols that need to be drummed into them and probably their parents, you know. I mean like creepy things. Yeah, yeah. Like what do you say over the internet? What do you say on your computer? Do you give out your name, safety first?  A lot of parents could use that training too. Yeah, they could. Definitely. So if I gave you a group of kids who was, you know, virtual on Zoom, assume they have, excuse me, they have computers and computers haven't been broken yet. What would you teach them? Would you give them a whole curriculum? Would you try to, you know, duplicate the curriculum in the schools? Or would you focus on certain things instead?  What would you focus on? Well, my focus is on, and I think it's very important to teach them to become solid computer users where they use the computer as a tool to enhance their productivity and creativity and efficiency. That would definitely be in there. It wouldn't have to be in there every day. Once a week would be probably good enough to do that. I would definitely be, you know, they have to do math. They have to do science. They have to do reading. But, you know, that's not my forte. So I can't speak to how many hours you would do of each of those a day. But they would definitely have to be in there. You'd be one course among many. Yeah. Somebody else would be developing a substantive content. Exactly. Like the school teacher could teach what they're supposed to be teaching, you know, a couple hours a day and have certain projects that they have to do, that the kids have to do. And the ones that I think are working really hard are the school teachers because they've been forced to create things online and to do things differently. And they're maybe not very prepared to do that to begin with, but they're just kind of having to put in the extra effort to see if it works. And then they're also having to create paper versions of the same thing for those that don't have computers at home. Oh, what a waste. That is a duplication of effort. What about you teaching those teachers? Don't they need to be taught? Because some of them are going to, some of them, I don't want to tell you everything you don't know, but some of them are going to resist the whole thing. They definitely are. And we've actually, we're in the process, we're almost done creating a guide for teachers for distance learning, which we're actually just going to give them because we think that that's the right thing to do. And because they don't know the right acronyms, there's different LMS learning management systems, they're different chat things, there's different kinds of system. And nobody's given them the scope of what the variety is or the comparison. And they need that to make good decisions. They also should be drumming in the safety issues with the kids. And I'm not sure that's happening either. Well, maybe, maybe that's for somebody like you. I mean, assuming you have the time and resources to do it, I would see that the computer savvy education, including, you know, keeping kids safe, safe online would come from one source and then the substance would come from the regular teachers. But the regular teachers have to be up on this and they have to understand how to engage. And a lot of them can't do that. They've got to be taught to do that. Furthermore, software, I want to talk to you about software. So right now you said you're, you know, you're trying to teach them what Microsoft Office. Microsoft Office, Office 365 is free to schools. Schools are most they're using a lot of Google Docs, which Google Docs is okay, but I feel like the kids are getting shortchanged. It's not as entailed or it's not as sophisticated as Microsoft Office, which is pretty much everywhere in the workplace. And once you get out of school, but hopefully they can gain those skills and transition to it without too much trouble because they they're growing up with technology. So they're not adverse to learning it or picking it up. They pick it up quickly. Yeah. Well, I totally agree with you. Microsoft is a more powerful and B, although, you know, some people don't like it, but B, Microsoft is in the workplace, it's ubiquitous, and it's going to stay there. And so if Microsoft is giving it away free, what they're doing is they're, they're, they're connecting with all these kids, we're going to know something about it. And that sets the standard for the workplace, whether the workplace being an officer at home, that's, that's a whole other conversation. Part of, part of this is to train them to work at all when they get to working age. The problem I think with the schools is that they jump on the cheapest thing right away without doing the right research. So they invest in Chromebooks because they were like $200, but the Chromebooks can't do a lot of things. Now there, I understand there's new versions of Chromebooks coming out that will be able to run Windows, but so they are, they have a lot of these things, you know, not, not top quality products, but they, it comes down to money, basically. That's too bad. You can't go, you can't go short on money when you're talking about the next generation. Lord knows this country has failed to educate several generations already. And then you can see that in, in the political times in which we lived, when 20%, you see this yesterday, 20% of the people polled on a national basis did not know who Kamala Harris was, did not know who she was. And I said, what kind of ignorance is that? It's pervasive, which drives me to another question I want to ask you. It's okay. So you have, you have Microsoft and presumably you have the Microsoft browser, the, what's the name of that browser again? Explore or the edge? Yeah, explore or edge. I like exploring myself. And that's really where you learn a lot of stuff on the browser. I spent a good part of my, my thinking day on the browser, because I can see everything I want to see in the world on that browser. It's my main night. It's my portal to knowledge of all kinds. So are you teaching them about that? Yes, we definitely teach them about that. We teach them the importance of doing searches, how to do searches, how to decipher what may be good or bad information, and, and about copywriting and, and using the right protocol. So they can't just plagiarize things because that's easy to do too. Well, these days, you pick with us too. So, okay, that to me, that is really, really important. Okay, and the next, the next thing, and I, and maybe this isn't your wheelhouse, but there is a lot of software and I remember going to classes at the university back when I was studying this myself in the outreach college there. A lot of software that is dedicated to teaching you stuff. And it's software that's built to teach you a course. And you go through a certain amount of, you know, learning and then you take a test and then you go to another chapter and all that. I don't, I don't know, it probably evolved a lot since then. And it's probably including a lot of video now that it, you know, it wasn't including then. But building that software is critical for this, isn't it? What do you do about that? Well, I think you have to research what's out there. I think there's a lot out there. There's a lot of good kids stuff out there. And there, some of it is even older that that is really good. There's a lot of series called the Edmark series for K to two kids that focuses on gaming kind of things that's teaching math or reading or rhyming or things like that. And I think that the educators aren't used to looking for that kind of stuff because they're kind of still mostly teaching in traditional ways in the classroom. So I'm hoping that this COVID stuff will force the issue of education to change and become more proactive in seeking alternatives. Yeah, sounds like it actually will because COVID's not going away. And I think parents in Hawaii care a lot about their kids and they're not going to be so quick to turn them back into the into a viral school. And so what you're doing is really central to that. It starts with teaching them about the basic rules of operating a computer and a browser, but it goes much further because what you're doing is actually helping to shape the educational paradigm which is being invented all around us now. The national discussion on this has got to result in a new paradigm about how you teach young kids. You're definitely involved. I hope so. And I hope I'm sure when we get done with our curriculum migration it's going to be awesome. And then it's a matter of marketing and getting it in the schools. And right now I feel like I can't even try to market it because they're so concerned about how they're going to go to school and for COVID. So it's kind of like a catch-22 because they should have it right now and they need all this computer stuff, but they're really focused on the child safety and the COVID stuff. So I'm giving it a little rest for a few months. I'm going to do a mail out to them and we'll see what happens on that. But I can't even go call and meet with a school right now. So I think the DOE has to be reorganized here around this, not just because of COVID, but because of the future. So when do you put all of this on a priority list? If somebody from the legislature called you up one day and said, where is all this fit? How high on the priority poll should this be in terms of our public policy, in terms of making the state magnetic? That is, it'll hold kids. They won't wind up being discouraged and leaving town or whatever you were, or going into a life that rejects knowledge. That's the worst thing of all. Where is it on the priority list? In my mind, I think the proper use of technology should be right up there with reading and writing and math because in today's world, you can't do anything without a computer. It's always been kind of traditionally seen as an add-on thing, but I think it's become a necessity. And early on in our years, my board president said to me, if we've done a good job, we should go away in 10 years, and I would make the argument that it's more necessary today than ever, and that it ever has been. It's not going to go away. That's for sure. Never ever. So when people talk about reimagining the economy, because right now, we have no economy. So reimagining the economy, what always comes to mind is the possibility of becoming a more tech state and having entrepreneurs and innovators to develop tech things and sell them and have good income and so forth. Do you think there's a way to shape or reshape our educational system to actually do that? Because we've been trying since John Burns to have a tech state, and you can look around. You don't see that yet. Is it still possible? And what do you do? What do you think people could do to get there? Well, I think it's a good, you know, everybody talks about diversifying our economy. I think it's certainly a good way of doing that, and that it's desperately needed. I know that for a while they had the Manoa Innovation Center, but you know, I think they could do it on more of a level with teaching program, making software for kids. They could do it on all kinds of levels. But I think that was a different, like that was a higher scale project, I think they are. Well, Gigi, what would you leave with our audience? We're almost out of time here. What would you leave with our audience in terms of a message? A message about Ohana computer with a K, a message about kids and education, and the need for computers and software to keep them engaged and thinking and train them and give them the tools of knowledge. What would you say about people who want to support you? Where should they look to find out more about you? Where should they look to find out where to send their checks? That checks, you know what I mean? That checks. Give them a message you want to leave them with. Okay. Well, I feel like they can always look at our website, www.OhanaComputerWithK.org. There's a donation button there. Checks can be mailed to us. Our address is on there. I feel like these COVID times should be our opening new frontiers for us. And that's kind of exciting to change the face of education. Now, whether our local crew jumps on boarded in that manner, or they're just putting out fires and band-aid approaches, I hope they'll take a longer turn view and do some good planning. And any schools or people that want to learn more about how we can help them, we like to be seen as a resource to the community. And we've been doing this for 20 years. So we know what we're doing and we know how kids learn and they can pick it up. And we have an awesome curriculum. And the online version will be available soon. And that will be even more awesome. And about the underprivileged families and the seniors who really don't have access to these tools, what do you say to them? Well, we've been teaching seniors and adults, and we've actually been teaching them in small groups of four or less on Zoom. We try and write grants for funding. It's, of course, a tough time. And if we have a paid class, I'm always willing to fit someone in that can't pay as that's part of our mission to serve the economically disadvantaged. So we try our best. We're not a big household name. So we've gotten funding throughout the years, obviously. But instead of giving us 10 or 20,000, they give us three or five. I'd like to go for bigger bucks. Last question, Gigi. You said you've been doing it for 20 years and I have known you for a fraction of that, but not an insubstantial fraction. So the question is, why do you do this? This is a nonprofit. I don't think you're going to get to be a billionaire doing this, but why do you do it? You're consistently doing it year after year. Why? Well, I was always, when I was a kid, I wanted to go into education and I was kind of pushed into business, which I'm glad I have that background and I have a very strong financial business background. And so I feel like I'm doing kind of the best of both worlds. I'm kind of an admin person in education using my business sense and making a difference in people's lives. And I guess I'm one of those do-gooders. I like to help people's lives and yeah, I don't get paid a huge salary, but I survive, so it's okay. Yeah, this is the time when it really shines. Thank you so much, Gigi. Thank you for all of that. Gigi Davidson, Ohana computer, the larger Ohana computer. Thank you so much. And they could also call our phone number, which is 523-8191, if they want any information. Good. I knew you'd say that. Thank you for interviewing me again. We'll do it again. Don't leave town. I'm not going anywhere. One can't even go anywhere if one wants to. Thank you, Gigi. Aloha.


Shino, hey, Chicho, what do you think about AI? Have you seen chat... yeah, yeah, I've seen that, someone... One of my students actually directed me towards that. Chat GPT and those crazy images, it can generate. It's crazy. Yeah, yeah. What do I think of AI? I don't think we've reached true AI. I don't think we will reach true sentient. Let's call it sentient AI. I don't think... I don't agree with Elon Musk. I think Elon Musk is just promoting his Neuralink stuff, trying to put fear into people. Oh, we have to have Neuralink transhumanism so we can compete with AI, right? But I don't think we're going to have sentient AI anytime soon. And anytime soon, I don't mean in years. I mean, we're not going to have sentient AI for decades to come. It's an easy Chicho. So I don't think we're going to have sentient AI for decades to come, if ever, right? However, machine learning AI, where the software keeps on optimizing, optimizing, optimizing. I think we're already there. That's a given, right? We'll see what the code, how the code is written and what that machine learning AI, where it's going to take us. Is it going to be a dystopian society the way the oligarchs and the technocrats want it to be? It looks to be going in that direction, but can humanity throw a wrench in the wheel in the machine and derail their intentions of imprisoning all of humanity? We'll see. We'll see. Censorship is a huge part of it. Algorithms that shills, bots. All this stuff is a huge part of that, right? As far as art goes, generating crazy images, I think the images right now, sure, they look great and stuff like this. And I think it's novel, but I think they'll get old soon enough. I think there will always be an element of humanity missing in AI-generated art. It'll be a copy of something. It'll be a mimicking of something, but the originality of it will be gone. It's like mashups, right? Mashups are fun, right? One of the DJs I've seen a couple of times where he does major mashups, sometimes just a few seconds of certain tracks come in and drop, and people are like, I know that one. So DJs that do mashups, they can be extremely successful, get a nice following going, and they're taking something and remixing it. So what this AI is doing is taking images and remixing and producing something new, right? Which is novel, which is cool, but you need the original to start with. You need something to start with, right? That seed, that's the difference between machine learning AI and sentient AI. Machine learning AI needs the seed to generate something, to seek something, to search something, right? Sentient, think of sentient AI as a human being. You might all of a sudden get inspiration from something, but inspiration can also come from nothing, right? You don't need a seed. I guess that's not really true if you're thinking about human beings from birth, right? We're all sort of a product of our society, right? It's a fine line, it's a fine line. It is cool stuff, Shino, it is cool stuff, but I don't think we have to worry about sentient AI anytime soon. I think what we need to be more concerned about is transhumanism and control of humanity. Surveillance, lack of anonymity, lack of privacy, centralization of power. That's the main concern in humanity. As far as art goes, it's cool. I've seen some of them, interesting pictures. That is something novel, right?
