So here it is, our home gym. Welcome back to another video guys. Today I wanna show you how to take out your home gym with less than $100. Yes, you heard me right. At full gym, you can work out every single muscle group with the equipment we're gonna buy today. Trust me, I've been there where you don't have access to a gym or you don't have the money to buy the high end equipment. But let's be honest, all you have to do is be creative and that's what I did for you guys. So all you have to do is watch this video, save up $100 and then you have a full on gym at home. Number one, we need to get a U-Haul. You get a truck right there. That's the one that I want. I'm gonna get that real quick and then we continue. Here we have to do this in Cognito because they don't like it when you film here. Even though it's the best place to shop for a home gym. Let's get started. Step number one, we need a barbell and right here this is the perfect aisle. It's Bay 19 aisle 26. They have different barbells over here, like thick ones, thinner ones, heavy ones. I personally prefer this one right here. First of all, it's stylish because it's black, perfect height and now with this one, you can basically do everything you want like bicep curls, triceps, back squats, shoulder press, deadlifts, rows, everything. So, barbell four. Which one is that one? I think that's the $15.65. So $15, let's just say $16 with taxes or $17. Done. The next step, we need weights and honestly, Home Depot has the cheapest weights possible. We can get 40 pounds for around $7. Follow me. And how convenient, the weights are exactly across from the barbells. So right here, we have 40 pounds of salt. Right here for $7. So it's 40 pounds, $7. It's in a great packaging. So you can do farmer's walks with it. Very durable of packaging. This up here, it looks weak, but it's not. Like I had this for, I don't know, at least a month and I did farmer's walk and stuff and it's still in perfect condition. So we're gonna, probably, what do you think Alam is, two or four? I want to do two of those. Cause we could do deadlifts later. And then maybe there's another weight, is there maybe between? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Home Depot has a lot of different weights. Okay, so this is $7. Ooh, $7. Oh, this is our bottle. Yeah. $7 again, another $7. And we have 80 pounds already. 80 pounds of weights for $14. Insane guys, insane. Like I mentioned earlier, Home Depot has a great variety of different barbells. Alam is, show them real quick. So you have like really big ones up there as well. And if you want to have your gym more of like an earthy vibe, you have wooden ones as well. I personally would not recommend these because you can easily get a splinter in your back if you do back squats or like shoulder presses. And the maintenance for these is a lot. Hello. All right guys, if you need a pad for your barbell because you were sensitive on your back and you're like, ah, you know, like the barbell hurts, no problem. They have padding here as well.  Since it's not an essential, we're not gonna get it but it's fairly cheap, $2.63. Do you think it's in the budget, Alamis? It is, but we don't need that stuff. But still, I want to like show people, you know, to get like a gym. So let's just do it for now. If it's above $100, we're gonna take it back. So we need buckets as well because we need some additional weight for very specific exercises. And yeah, let's just, let's do this. Last but not least, we need a bench of course. I want to just show you one. If your budget allows it, you can get one of these. These are pretty amazing. As now you have, you can do your curls, your presses. You can do your bench press right here. But the only issue with this one is you don't have a wreck, right? So you need to make sure that you can lift the weight up first. And on top of that, it's like $50 at the moment, which is not in our budget. That's what we're gonna go with these two babies. $10 each, and it will be easier for us to do bench press. You can never mind, with taxes, $65. All right, let's do this. So here it is, our home gym. Okay, I'm more than excited to go home now and actually do a workout, show you every single exercise that's possible with this home gym right here for less than $70. What was it, $65? $65, every single exercise you can imagine. Yep, looks good. What do you think? Why did we get a truck? What do you mean, like, at the gym? It's perfect. Good to go, nice. All right, guys, this is our home gym. I know it doesn't look like much, but trust me, you can do almost every single exercise there is. So how about we start assembling our barbell? Um, like I mentioned earlier, we've got the protection as well, just in case someone's like, hey, my neck is sensitive, you know, my back is sensitive. I wanna make sure that this doesn't hurt my body. So this is what we're gonna do first. Have you seen the box cutter? Okay, we'll be right back. And here we are again with the box cutter. So what we wanna do first is we wanna measure it for the box. So this is probably where I need to cut it, a bit of this, and now, oh, by the way, do not, you know, take that off, the yellow one, because it's a sticky one. So as soon as you do that, it's gonna be, you know, glued on forever. So what we're gonna do is put that on here, do that real quick, boom. And we're good to go. So this is number one. Barbell is ready and it feels good. Feels really good. I like it. Okay, so this is number one. Now next step, I wanna make sure that I have, like an area right here, where I know exactly that the weight won't move a lot because we will attach the buckets and the Morton salt as well. So what I wanna do is I'm gonna use this and make sure that it's not gonna slide too much. We'll probably do a jump cut too when it's done because this will take me a little bit. In itself, I'm creating the Barbell. It's a forearm training chest doing this. I don't know, five minutes straight is exhausting. But anyway, so we have here, our Barbell is ready and I think we can start actually doing the first workout. So this is the first exercise. The benches, each bench holds up to 300 pounds. I'm 180, so it should be good. All right, move down a little bit more. There we go. And now we're gonna start with the first exercise. I'm just press. What?  But yeah, as you guys can see, perfect, perfect height with the bench. The only thing I might wanna adjust is move this down a little bit so I can actually just keep going. Yeah, this is better. Not my head rests on the bench and I have all my weight on my butt on this one and all the pressure is gonna go right through me into that bench and my head is completely relaxed. Let's just try one more. So I'm gonna make sure that the weight is right in between my two beautiful blue lines and here we go. That feels good. Okay, and. Okay, the next couple of clips gonna be just me showing you exercises. It's not like a full workout but I wanna make sure that you understand that with this baby setup, you can basically hit every single muscle group. First $65 from Home Depot. The buckets, I love them because you can add up to like 35 pounds to a workout. Over here, the 45 is pretty, you know, it's done, it's sealed and it's pretty sturdy. So they don't break easily. So unless you like really drop the salt, you will be good for a very long time and if it breaks, you lost $6, you know what I mean? Also the bar, the bar is super easy. All you gotta do is tape a little bit so the buckets or the salt won't slip and you're good to go. You can use this bar for warm-ups as well. You can even do like a shoulder front raise right here. Yeah, pretty easy. The benches right here, I didn't even show all the exercises. You can actually use it as a step stool for, you know, like a cardio workout as well. But I just wanted to prove to you guys that there are no excuses. If you say you don't have money, not a problem. Just save up $65 and whenever you have that, get that and you have a full-on gym in your backyard in the garage, you know, wherever you find space, even in an apartment. I mean, it doesn't look nice, but you know, you get the point. So yeah, that's it for today's video. Thank you so much for tuning in.

Thank you so much for watching. Pow! That was the weakest one.


Good afternoon. Good morning. I'm Edu and a UX UI designer from the mobile solution team. I'm a modeler for one and a half year and I've been a model user for almost half of my life. And today I'm going to explain how we use the UX design process to get from 3.9 to 4.0. But first, what is UX or user experience? When we say user experience, we are referring to how people interact with the product. When people use a product, they usually evaluate their experience according to the following criteria. If the product provides value, it's useful or respond to their needs. If the product is easy to use and it makes it easy for them to complete their task, it's the product works properly. And if the product is attractive and pleasant to use, that is something that's important. So what is user experience design? First of all, UX design is not the same as UI design. User experience design is often mistakenly referred as a user interface design. That's because many people associate the word design with visuals. And as you can see in the image, UX encompasses many different aspects of the product design. And user interface is just the surface layer of the product. Peter Morville in his UX honeycomb theory states that, UX design is the process of creating products that are simple and easy to use, that fill a need, that are attractive and evoke positive emotions, that are easy to navigate with locatable content, accessible to everyone, including those with disabilities, secure and truthworthy, and that deliver value to the company that helps them to reach their objectives. However, UX design is more than just great products. It starts about improving, fixing, iterate and learn. And it's about solving problems. The other Levit put it, people don't want to buy a quarter inch drill. They want to a quarter inch hole. With this Levit argued that people don't buy products. They buy solutions. The design thinking or human-centered design process is a method that encouraged people to identify and solve problems by doing three essential tasks. Empathize, work together and file effectively. Something really important. Within these three tasks are five phases or steps. Empathize, define, EGA, prototype and test. But the design thinking is an iterative and non-linear process. Stages are not always sequential. And so far many companies have adopted and adapted this methodology and have proposed and put into practice different approaches of this process. Say that, let's jump to the hair of the matter. How we have used insights and the design thinking process to improve the user experience in the app. This is a visual representation of what our approach to the process looks like or at least how it feels. In general, it's a process that consists of collecting and gathering information and then reducing our possibilities and prioritizing. But let's go step by step. The empathize and discover phase consists of researching and gathering our necessary information and asking the why. In order to understand the business goals and be able to empathize with the users and understand their needs. In the first phase, in this phase I focus on gather as much information as possible. Learn about the product and how it works in its history. I learned about the current status of the product, the company, current projects, long-term and short-term objectives, necessities and more. Meet the people in board, something really important. The team, the stakeholders and their roles and their work and points of view. But my learning about the users and empathize with them. Here's some key learnings that I got from the mobile app. The mobile app is an experience, it's more a student center. The majority of the users are young people, mostly high school and university students. 90% of our users are phone users, where only 9% use tablets and the rest of the 1% other devices. And also, 88% of our users use Android devices and only 12% use Apple. On the other hand, there were also five tasks or requirements we had to take into account. It was analyze the direct and indirect competitors and other trending products to identify patterns. Check comments, feedback and reviews from Play Store, App Store, Support, Mother Partners, Community Forums, Tracker to Extract Insights. Adapt and translate UX and UI improvement from elements 4.0 and to ensure consistency. Improve the app accessibility and fix current issues. And take into account the current experience of the current user experience. Next, the definition phase consists on combining other research and learning from the previous phase and looking at where the user problem exists. We analyzed and synthesized the learnings from previous phase, gathered inside and feedback to understand the user needs, define the process, the steps, the methods and the way to work and define the mind fields and project to work on. In this phase, we used some mapping and brainstorming methods, which has user persona to understand the users, affinity maps to compare, group and categorize the different sites, learn survey canvas to play surveys and obtain missing information among some others. This helped us to identify the four mind projects or major areas to work. That was rethink and improve the navigation of the app, redesign and adapt the user interface, improve the app performance and improve the notification experience. This time, it's time to get creative. In this phase, we start thinking and proposing creative ideas and possible solution based on the need defined in the previous phase. In this phase, we did a lot of explorations and draft, we reviewed and analyzed the app, the flows, the screen, the architecture. We started to propose and assess ideas for the new UI. With the ideas and objectives clear, we jump to prototype phase. The time has finally come to come down to work with Figma that is considered to be the real design part. We work on the first proof of proposals. We discussed and agreed within the team and drawn several screens and possible solutions. Several screens, really several screens. Also, at the same time, we were working on the first component library, a base on which we could continue work. Then we built some interactive prototypes. As the name says, in this stage, it's time to test and validate. With the prototype and the selected solution, it is time to return to the user for feedback. The objectives here was evaluate if the solutions respond to the problem. In this point, our goal was to run tests with rare users, but due to the difficulty of sourcing them, we tried another approach. We did a quick test to validate things like usability, design patterns, visual design, learnability, etc. We got real testing. First of all, during the design process, we made use of design patterns. Our main interest with this prototype was to validate the UI and the changes as one of the main areas we were working on. We designed and prepared a user research strategy focused more on validating topics such as design patterns, usability, accessibility, information flows, and architecture. Also, listening to more impartial and less biased impressions and opinions. This allowed us to test with people around us. After the design thinking process is usually c-click out, it's also an interactive process. It's important to take into account the phase of implementing and tracking to check if the solution works and collect learnings. Some of the most noticeable changes implemented include a more minimalist UI, navigation improvements, the user account menu, the new course index, improvement in the navigation between sections, and the new blockstriver. What are we doing? We continue monitoring the ratings and comments from the app store. We continue keeping an eye on the different discussions and the community forum. We continue taking into account feedback and message from our partners and users to support. We are working on the improvements of the four big areas. And we continue working on smart improvements and easy wins. We want you to help us. Well, we want the community to help us. So we need that people listen to your users and pay attention to their needs, their problems, their user cases, the scenario. Ask them why provide user... No, sorry. Ask them why. This is something really important. When you focus on the problems, always it's important to ask them why. Provide useful information and cool in size. Data, KPIs, resource, any useful and actionable information. Help us to source real app users for testing. This isn't something really difficult right now. Yeah. If you want to continue talking and discussing about it, you can contact us directly. You can email me or you can write in the UX model community forum. And I'll be around in the product bar or around. So, yeah. That's it. Thank you so much. Any questions for Edu? I think, sorry, I'm very tired. I think you said that most Moodle app users were school-aged students. Did I hear that right? Yeah, most, I mean... I find that... As someone who works in the university, I find that surprising. How did you... What's the data? I mean, you're obviously looking at data on who's using the app, so I'm interested in... How do you know that, basically? Well, as I said, most of the users are university students and job people because we did a lot of research about the trending, about the user and the student nowadays. Yeah, as we can get from feedback and a lot of comments, we deduced it and got the conclusion that most of our users were student but job people. Maybe I cannot tell to you the exactly range age, but this is something I point out to help us to take into account which way we wanted to go in the designing of the new experience. Because it helps us to have into account some things like contents of users because a mobile experience is not only reduced to the user interface. It's about the context, the other products they use or even the way that they interact with their devices. So I don't know if this answers your questions. Yeah. Sorry, we also did some surveys with the great... I mean, what's the thousands of answers? Yeah, most of them, we got that. They were students from high school and also university. Edu, thanks a lot. I really like the presentation. So I wanted to ask you, looking forward, particularly going back to the presentations that Emilio gave us about the new features that we'll be introducing the Moodle Workplace mobile app, will corporates, the callers, be also invited to give feedback to the, for instance, multi-tenancy features and a set of other features? Do you want me to repeat? Going back to what Emilio presented yesterday, the raw diet of Moodle Workplace, particularly the new features that we'll be introducing the mobile app, like multi-tenancy branding options. Will corporate stakeholders, like administrator, be invited to give feedback to such kind of functionalities? No, by the moment, at that moment, we focus more on only the Moodle app. I mean, we have need to work a bit more because when I started working on the design of the app, there was still the workplace app. But yeah, it's something that is on the backlog to start to work in the workplace app. So yeah, this is why we only focus on this user and this experience. Any other questions? Hello. Thank you for all the whole process. I think it's really interesting. I also thought it would be really useful for the audience. I have a lot of developers. How can someone, for example, I create a plugin where I create a new functionality in my Moodle. But I haven't made this process. What would recommend you to someone that, for example, I create a plugin? How can I apply this powerful process in a really simple way if I just got my plugin into the Moodle and I want to use this? What would be some recommendations? Such a tricky question. To be honest, the design thinking process is really relative. I mean, you have this base, but you don't have to... I mean, you can follow this process, but to be honest, I will tell you that in the first step, to focus on having clear the problem, the why's, mainly, right? In my opinion, as a designer, I'm up to always to have really clear like, are my documentation, are the empathizing phase, but also to get a clear overview of the context of the app. To be honest, it's... I had to say that if you want to implement a new plugin, you have to take into account the user, every aspect before you jump into this plugin, but you need to have into account that maybe it's... I really need this plugin to work in the app, and this is the one why. Yeah, and having to account not only the interface, because this is a problem that... it's our faces. You have to think about our experience and how you can go far in this process. So, yeah, I think... Yeah, yeah, that pretty much answers my question. Yeah, it's interesting.


In this study, researchers developed a new nanomaterial called MIL-88A which can be used to treat osteoarthritis, OA. They found that MIL-88A can increase the expression of genes related to bone formation while decreasing those associated with cartilage breakdown. This suggests that it may be able to slow down or even reverse the progression of OA. Additionally, they observed that mice treated with MIL-88A had improved scores on an OA severity scale compared to untreated mice. These results suggest that MIL-88A may be a promising treatment option for OA.


The ITU DFS Focus Group has been unique in bringing together various stakeholders from both the private sector and the public sector. We have regulators here, we have service providers. We also have stakeholders from the donor space and I think not enough can be said about financial inclusion. There are various other initiatives for example AFI, they're also responsible finance forum and also the GSMA who all have various initiatives geared towards driving financial inclusion and particularly digital financial inclusion. So I think the effort or this current initiative by the ITU really is just a continuation of the other various initiatives that have been there. This particular focus group has had three specific working groups targeted at three very important areas which can be perceived as challenges or initiatives towards driving financial inclusion in digital financial services. One working group has been the consumer protection group which in fact I'm a member of which has looked at the various challenges there are obstacles towards driving financial inclusion through the digital financial services. And there has also been the working group for the ecosystem which looks at regulation and other areas that make up the financial service ecosystem. There has also been technology and innovation working group which has looked at the various issues around innovating digital financial services, the barriers and also what can be done to improve or to eliminate those barriers. And I think each of these working groups has been extremely important and instrumental in coming up with recommendations as to how digital financial services can be advanced even further by the regulators and also the providers in the various regions in digital financial services. So it is my hope that these discussions will not end here, that the very useful recommendations that have come out of these working groups will actually be implemented. The reports that have come out will not just be put somewhere on the shelf but they will actually be rolled out and given to the regulators who will look at them and implement them. Having said that every region and every market is different, there are recommendations that have come out of these meetings which may not be applicable in certain markets. And my hope is that the regulators will take this into account and adapt whatever recommendations they are which they find applicable to their particular markets.


How can we manage our children's anger in a safe way? I get asked often by teachers or parents who have got children who are very volatile and it can come out as big, angry and aggressive situations and they ask me how can we manage this? And lots of the work that I do is around understanding what leads to those moments and preventing them, but actually it's really important that we don't ignore the anger itself. The first thing to understand about anger is that if we ignore it then it will tend to come out in other ways. So we need not to teach our children not to be angry, but rather to try and recognise that anger and to talk about it if we can. But in terms of actually managing those angry outbursts, those aggressive moments it can be really helpful to actually develop a set of rules with your child. Now don't do this at a time of anger. You always have to have these conversations at a time of relative calm and plan for those difficult moments. And the rules will look different depending on your family or your classroom and the kind of outbursts that you're experiencing.  Don't hurt other people. Don't hurt things. And then really importantly, do talk about it. So you might develop morals, they might be a bit different but it's about recognising how in those moments of aggression, of anger can we keep that child safe and how can we keep the people around them and the things around them safe as well from those angry outbursts because nobody wants to deal with the fallout from this aggression. Not the child, not us. So if in times of calm we can plan for those moments when things go completely off the scale, it can really, really help. Don't expect that you're going to develop these rules and instantly everything's going to be better but by talking about it, by giving it a name, by realising that these feelings, they're okay and validating them and talking about them is really helpful and finding other outlets for that anger too. And a really, really important thing to remember here is that when anger is listened to by someone it's far less likely to be acted out. So try and encourage them what open dialogue with a child about the anger that they're feeling and trying to have those discussions earlier on or afterwards at a time of calm can really help us to manage that anger and it can help to get it out and if we're able to talk about it ahead of the outburst sometimes we're able to prevent the outburst altogether. So have a go. It'd be really interesting to hear what are the kind of anger rules that you think might work in your home or your classroom. Think about how you might communicate those. Some people will find it really good to have a visual prompt and maybe to have that as a reminder at times of high stress. Other people will find that simply having this conversation putting those rules in place is the beginning of much better dialogue around this and things begin to change. Good luck with it.
