What's going on, everybody? I'm here with... I gotta go. Alright, hey, do your thing. Thank you everybody for clicking on that video, but before we continue about Supreme, I gotta give a big shout out to privacy.com. Privacy.com is a free app that is gonna allow you to buy things on the internet using a virtual credit card or debit card so you don't have to use your real one. And that is actually gonna keep your bank information and your card information safe on the internet. You guys know if you guys are into buying streetwear or sneakers, cause figures, even Supreme, you guys know what I mean. But anyways, more on that later. What's going on, everybody? I am here on Fairfax Ave. This is the center of streetwear here on the West Coast. I'm here to ask the question today. Is Supreme still cool? I'm gonna be talking to a lot of people today, industry insiders, people who are just random fans. Let's go see what they gotta say. Streetwear journalism on the street. When people think of streetwear, what's the brand they're thinking about? Probably, I would say probably Supreme. I'll definitely see a lot more people with Supreme nowadays. Supreme, Supreme. Yeah, Supreme for the culture. Supreme, yeah. Probably Supreme. Supreme or Louis. Now Supreme, as a company, is worth over a billion dollars now. That's crazy. But some people still say that a lot of their items are flopping, they're kind of falling off, they're dying. What do you guys think?  I think it's still hot. It's getting better, honestly, because more people is getting the younger kids too. I really don't think it has fallen off, to be honest. I think the market is really saturated now, but where the demand for Supreme has just gone up every single year. I don't know, I think it's just becoming more accessible. I think Supreme used to be way cooler back when it was older, earlier years, you know? You know, a lot of people will wear Supreme and they like, they don't really understand the brand. I definitely think it's falling off from where it used to be, like at the top, where like the Louis V collab. I definitely see a lot more people with Supreme nowadays, but I wouldn't say it's falling off necessarily. Man, I definitely think it's falling off. I mean, the box logo is always a classy fit, but it's too like, too flashy nowadays, too much, man. I just think they need to get more creative so people stay interested in it, switch it up more. All right, guys, this is a question that you've talked about on your channel and a lot of people have talked about it. I've seen it on Reddit, I've seen other YouTube videos about it. Is Supreme falling off? It's worth that billion dollars. It all determines what metric you are gonna measure it by. Is it sales or is it cultural relevancy? I would say Supreme, maybe two years ago was on another level, in my opinion. 2017. 2017, I think it was on another level. I always answer the question with keeping it cultural relevancy in mind, cool points, who's rocking it right now? Yeah, I say it's dying. Dying or falling off? Falling, dying off, whatever, you know? In decline. In decline, in my opinion. I don't get that same wow factor when I see it now. Maybe it's just because we live in LA, but I don't feel the same thing when I see a BMW anymore. Exactly, I'm big on bang for your buck. It kind of reminds me of like the whole Yeezy wave. 500 bucks for a pair of Yeezy's don't get looked at twice. You look at them, you look away. But now the same thing has happened with Supreme. When you need to spend $5,000 on one piece to get the recognition, that's when it's watered down. As a current Supreme fan, it doesn't hurt to see like other people wear it wrong or like so many other people wear it that like they're not really into it. That's kind of the same with Jordans, for example. A lot of people don't know the history, but they still rock it. Man, I really don't think you really need to know the history about it to rock something, you know, just whatever you're comfortable with. Yes and no, I think what's happened today is that these websites are now bringing Supreme online to where you can grab it and they're bringing it at a different price. So now it's, you kind of know what you see online to say, oh, I can just get that over there for so and so price. Maybe 10 years ago, Supreme, they put their logos on stuff they still could. Now they're just slapping it on, on literally every accessory they can make up. And they're just overcharging it. And then I feel like in the next 10 years, it's gonna go way down. They just buy it because it's Supreme, you know?  Like Adidas joggers and then just like a box logo. Just like nothing. And then maybe some like Walmart shoes. Like, come on, man. All right, so more about privacy.com.  You guys know the feeling about coming across a site that you're not super familiar with. I mean, maybe people on the forums have used it or your friend has suggested it, but you're just not a hundred percent sure.

That is $5 free money. I think it just comes down to consumerism. It's a little bit more like strategic now. People know no longer can you just get that go-to piece and be cool. And I still like them because they're really expensive, but I feel like the Rolex Submariner GMT is kind of went that way. Where it's like, it's still cool if you got one, but people are like, oh, it's not a patek. It's not a- Exactly. Are we talking about something that just, it does this happen to everything? Everything. Everything that's a consumeristic product. We just dropped like four examples. And I think it happens anytime things are exposed and more people gravitate towards that specific brand. It's gonna happen. I think definitely in this age of social media it speeds everything up. Brands pop up and they can decline quicker. But see Supreme was popping right before social media. But then everybody has a social media timeline in my opinion and it's about six to seven years when you're popping on social media because social media has been popping for about 10. Like the whole usage of it, on your phone. So it's speeding everything up just like, I feel like off-white doing pretty well right now. Everything's kind of killing it. But I could see the lifeline off-white even being shorter than Supreme in a way because it came at the time of when everything's blowing up with social media. All right, last question guys. Now that it's worth a billion dollars there's are a lot of rich people who own, let's just say the world that are now heavy stakeholders in Supreme. Talking about like the 0.1%, 0.001%. How are they gonna prevent their investment from slipping or that you think they're just gonna sell it off when they feel it? Because I feel like they put so much control from what I read in James Jebia's hands with his squad. And I heard he's really surrounds himself with a lot of skaters, a lot of street kids, a lot of people who aren't like MBA like business types, you know, how are they gonna like guarantee that their investment is sound? Well, let him hang out with some more skaters. Yeah. Don't meet him actually. Right. Stay away from him. Stay away from him. He should not influence him. Do not put any money around him so he could continue putting Q on his t-shirts and being happy with that. You know what I mean? Even then, I heard that there is already some corporate, obviously like gates and like limits that they had to like even put on. It's for good reason, right? It's to keep the essence of the brand. Yeah, you're saying that the guys in the suits that own half the Supreme now want James Jebia to stay with his street kid crew. They'll understand what he says. Stay away from me. So do you think if the guy, let's say the suit goes into Supreme, right? And his kid kind of had somebody be a little bit rude to him. You think he's not gonna go, you guys need to have five out of five customer services. If you guys know Supreme is notorious for having bad customer service because the workers are skaters. Yes. But that's why it's cool. That's why it's cool.  I think culture is huge for any brand. It's hard. Hey, you know what? You guys heard it from the expert. Not an expert. I'm not an expert. Or just a person with a lot of opinions. I mean, this is what you do. You think about the stuff. But we hit Fairfax and we're about to, you know, find out what some people on Fairfax think. What's something that you guys would not want to see Supreme do? What really made Supreme was the simplicity of the style. I really don't think they should do, you know, too much that is just kind of like all over the place. Skaters, don't do that. Yeah, don't, don't do that. They stop dropping stuff.   Crocs. Yeah, crocs. Yeah, crocs. Starts dropping more bogos and it's definitely going to drive down the price of their company. Supreme Maga Hat. Maybe if they like branded an animal. Some weird, maybe some weird like that. Some like Peter Witt. Yeah. What was like a Supreme piece that you particularly thought was really cool recently? I think the bogos are sick. Starts dropping more bogos and it's definitely going to drive down the price of their company. I like the one with the diamonds on it. The lighter water bottles. I like the flask and the fanny pack was dope. A little money shooter. What's the coolest thing about Supreme? I just think that it's just been around for so long and I think the exclusive, how it was so exclusive before has drawn that demand. So, you know, people come and they want to buy it. They want to wear it because they believe that that's like, you know, you wear it. You're, you know what I'm saying? Like it just represents something. Exactly. It just represents.  They want to wear it.  Like that's all it is, bro. It kind of reminds me when Instagram only had like 30 employees in just one office and they were worth as much as an airline. So it just goes to show you it's not about the amount of locations. It's not the amount of employees or even the amount of product. It's branding. And let me tell you this, Supreme makes people feel cool. So it leads me to another question. How did Supreme get so cool? I don't even know who really has the answer to that. But if you guys got an answer, definitely leave it in the comments down below. Guys, that was another episode of Fun Grows on the Street. And until next time, I'm out. Peace. All right, everybody.

Again, thank you for watching that video. And until next time, I'm out. Peace. Yo, man, interviewing people in the street takes a lot of energy. I'm really hungry. So right now we're here at Badmash where we're about to go get some hip-surending food. I heard it's delicious. In fact, I've actually had this before and it is delicious. Chili, cheese, naan. Wow. Whoa.


I'm here to interview Tamas Slezak of Merveo in the hope that he'll let me have a free one of his sports cars which are over there. I don't think I'm going to succeed, but actually jokes aside, this is a very exciting company involved in a whole range of electric vehicles and I want to hear the story. So please tell us, what is unique about them and what is your plan for rolling out your business? Yes, so we have developed a foldable electric scooter which has the name Merveo, and it is made from carbon composite lightweight body, and it's foldable as you say, which is very unusual.  So it's a full-size moped, it's a full-size motorcycle, which has the additional value to be foldable. So when you need it, you can put it in the trunk of your car or you can put it in a yacht or a motor home. But you said in your talk that you don't think you can fold it often, so it's a secondary benefit, but you have designed now a full-scale proper scooter. Should I drive it? Yes, absolutely. Yeah, run over a few minutes. It's very light. So carbon fibre and folding and all that, that sounds expensive. Is it top of the market as a product in pricing? I think no, it's about 3,000 euros, so it's not high. Not much higher than normal scooters. That's remarkable. But the cluster there that you have looks very elegant design. Can you tell us about it? This is our proper design, and my colleagues like this rounded shape, and we call it organic design. Yes, yes, absolutely. I like it. I think it's excellent. Where is this made? It is made in Hungary, so we had a team of... And you, of course, are Hungarian. Yes, yes. We had a team of more than 10 engineers, electrical and mechanical engineers, so the design is totally new. And this side can be folded. Maybe the folding I would show on the red one. So that's the folding, this side of the store. One minute about. This is just to pull out. This way it's half the weight. Half size of the store on your... Have you actually sold the name right? No, just early. Just the prototype. And we are looking for investors to begin production. When you get the investors, I'm sure you will, with a product that's as superb as that, you would dream of selling a hundred a year, a thousand a year. What magnitude, roughly, I mean... So we are looking for an investment of 2.5 million euros, which would be enough to produce 5,000 pieces per year. The market would obviously stand that. Europe as a whole is taking... So that's for Europe. Two wheelers, it's taking what? One and a half million now, maybe. Okay, can we move on to this car, which you're not going to give me. I heard a little of your talk, but the people watching this video don't know what I heard, so I'd like to begin at the beginning. Yes. You've done some really exciting things, because you've worked with, from my country, a protein with the in-wheel motors, which have built-in redundancy, don't they? There are really several motors in one motor, so they're a very clever product. And you're doing four-wheel drive, vectored steering? Yes, that's a four-wheel drive, super light weight, super sports car, and what you told about the in-wheel motors, they have redundancy, so it's actually two motors in one. So if something breaks down, it functions more. Brilliant. You see this as a platform, don't you? This isn't just one body. Yes, that's a functioning platform, so the body is not yet ready, but the chassis, as you see on the next slide, is ready and functioning. It has a range, a few electric range of 100 kilometers, and we will build in a range extender made from a one-car engine, I think 600 kilometers with the range extender to add the two together, which is great. So what other innovation is there there? Are the motor controllers different? Yes, the total electronics was made by ourselves, so we have both the in-wheel motors we have bought, and also the battery and the charger, but everything else is made by our engineer team. Of course, the Proton motor has its own controller within it, doesn't it, of course. So you're doing other power electronics. You can see the charger and beneath is the battery, and in the back would be built the range extender. And this is a plug-in vehicle? This is a plug-in electric vehicle, because those are the ones that are selling really fast now, aren't they? In some countries, the hybrids that do not plug-in are dying, but the plug-in hybrids are selling, in some countries, they've gone up 80% in a year, haven't they? So you're following a very big wave there, the real demand. Here you can see the range extender and it's... And that's a vehicle engine. That's a vehicle engine, because it's small and light. It has some problems with the... They used to have problems with efficiency and with sealant sealing, but they used in unmanned aerial vehicles, aren't they? And there are other versions that are being developed by other people that are advances on the basic vehicle, so there is a future path of development. Who makes that for you? It's a German company. Oh, that's interesting. An advantage also would be there's much less noise vibration and so on from a rotary device compared with a piston engine, and you can mount it in different positions more easily, can't you? A piston engine has to be upright usually. So it's much more versatile, but this is not a drop-in, get-you-home range extender. This is a permanently fitted, serious range extender, isn't it? So that's why we call the car not a hybrid, because it's a range extender electric vehicle, because it can work only electric, so there's no hybrid. It's a serious hybrid in that jargon perhaps. Okay, that's wonderful. So, to a consumer, what do you think will be the most exciting, unique when they buy it? Do you think the people you're going to sell to are going to be techies, nerds who will know about things like in-wheel motors, or is it going to be more a case of they want the particular range or something? So it's a supercar, a super sports car, which could be manufactured in a very small series, so maybe 10, 20, or 30 pieces. So every car would be personalized, and there is no other supercar which is range extender electric. So they are supercars made hybrid, which has big motors, big engines. Huge engines with huge power, but there's no supercar which is electric and with a small range extender. And because we have this range extender, if we put in a bigger gasoline tank, now it's only 600, only 600 km range, but if we put in a little bit bigger gasoline tank, it can be 1,000 km range. And I think there are no other sports cars, electric sports cars, that would have so long range. So I think that's a point. Maybe the nearest is the BMW i8, which is also a two-seater and also a series hybrid, and it's a piston engine, it's a 300 piston engine, but it has a somewhat similar specification, does it? Yes, but the acceleration of the BMW e8 is maybe above 5 seconds. Yes. So even the Tesla has better acceleration than the BMW i8. And what is your acceleration? 3.2. I think... It's 1,000 Nm per wheel. Yeah. And with vectored steering and four-wheel drive, it will have incredible handling. It's totally other than that. Even off-road. Snow, ice. Great. OK, well, I'm sorry I didn't persuade you to let me have one, because I know you're going to be very successful, you're brilliant. No, I don't want to pay... I think if you find for us investors, for producing these small series, then the first part... There we are. There's a businessman all the way. That's wonderful. No, seriously, jokes aside, that's wonderful. How much money do you want to raise, by the way? We would raise 5.8 million euros for this super-scarred project and 2.5 for the scooter. On the basis of that, you will be selling products, yes. Oh, good luck. I think it's wonderful to see the engineering around Europe. It's not all in Germany. European countries have superb complementary skills and it's marvellous to see. Thank you very much. Thank you. Marvelous.


El Chavo Delight is a Mexican comedy series that has gained unincreased popularity in Spanish-speaking America as well as in Spain, Brazil, United States, in Spanish only, and other countries. It centers around the adventures and tribulations of the title character. El Chavo, an orphan, played by the show's creator, are a bird of all mass baldness, and other inhabitants of a fictional apartment building, or, as called in Spanish, ascended. Now the legend. Has anyone ever seen the episode where El Chavo Delight was pretending that he had been hit by a car? Because, if you did, or if you lived during the time it was broadcast, you may have noticed that there was a period of four months between this and the previous episode. Okay, what happened in this period of four months? Are a bird of all mass baldness apparently had filmed like last supposed to be the series finale of El Chavo Delight, and is more or less like this real episode? According to several former executives, the episode goes like this. The chapter begins with the characteristic intro of the series, but the sound is outdated. When the rescinded comes into view, no one shows up. The gate opens, as if someone were to enter, but no one goes in. It goes on like this for two or three minutes, with this change of shots. When you finally see El Chavo enter and hear the laugh track, the shots stop changing after this. It's in that part, where El Chavo comes out of the rescinded and walks into the street. At that time, in come Kiko and Lacha Lindrina. Kiko then asks Lacha Lindrina, where El Chavo is, Kiko asks in his in-character voice, though his cheeks are not, has inflated. Lacha Lindrina says he is in the street with tomato sauce. At the exact moment she says the street, you will hear a horrible roar that did not appear on all versions of the tape. After the fade-out is the scene from the episode which was broadcast, the one where El Chavo pretends to be run over, where the characters in the rescinded were crying. The sound is outdated and sounds seem to be coming from a lot more people. Just that there is a cutscene for what appears to be a commercial break.  In front of them appears to be a coffin with the body of El Chavo but he is not seen. The five characters are especially broken. Dona Florenda looks very gaunt, and while it appears she's just acting, her breath is highlighted even more, when the camera zooms in on her face, for about five to ten minutes. After this incredibly long scene, Kiko and Lacha Lindrina say Chavito, in heartbroken voices. Kiko is not doing a speech gimmick at this time, which raises questions as to whether he and Dona Florenda are really just acting. After this scene is the shot of El Chavo's body. It is here more than anywhere else that raises questions, as the body of El Chavo is actually taller than our Avergo Bolano.  Both of his legs are broken and bleeding. The cap that covers his face and his head is covered in blood, and his arms are twisted and emaciated. This drawing seems to have exceptionally clean stab-founds all over it. This scene lasts for five minutes, then the characteristic ending theme of El Chavo del A Place. There was a period of four months between the time this episode was filmed, and where Chasperito rejoined his team, and there is controversy over who played the body. It was clearly shown that it was not a dummy, and it was not any actor who had appeared as an extrovert to before or after this. In addition to this, a little while back, Avergo Bolano's bolliness had said he wanted to do something that no one had either seen on television before. During a trip to Peru in 2008, Avergo Chasperito del A Place actually did plan on a series finale of El Chavo del A Place, with the eponymous El Chavo sacrificing himself to save a child from being hit by a car.


So I'll be a little bit general this. So I guess that some theme of the conference is they have a convex analysis of complex analysis coming together, and that fits pretty well with some of the work we're talking about. So let me start by one situation, very classical, where this is well known. So this is about going to have a complex upgrade for us. But this doesn't mean like C star to the D in this case. So let me see how well is this big enough to? So this does a copy. And then you have a map down to rd. So if I have coordinates here, i, just take individually, say, the law. I'm just going to solve this by ti. So this is a, let's call this map pi. This is a proper map of how this dimension one, the three images here are just circles, or more generally, they're real tori. And again, I have an action, let's call this s to the power d. So for I mean, my s is the unit circle. So that's acting on these fibers. So this kind of situation. And this allows me to, I mean, in this situation, you have quite a nice point of view in terms of a complex analysis to illustrate this connection. See if I take, say, u inside rd on x. Right, so on the one hand, if I look at, say, then it looks. There's something like that, but that's not what I'm interested in. So again, able to see with the, so at least the last two or none of these. In this case, you can define essentially the same picture. So what do I need to change? I guess this is, well, I'm just going to define k to the d. Okay. I'm actually going to have the work image in terms of here. It's a multi-plicated norms. Semi-validation. These are the ordinate series, but just go wrong. Natural psychology. This is just a point wise convergence. So I demand that, if I could call the d, it's a couple of space. Now I can just, maybe I should say one thing here. So it's not equal to k. So if I always have an embedding of this space here, k start at the rd, it's like that. So I just make elements of k the same. I just put the norm here. And I still have an action where s to the d. Now this is not some work of it. You can do that too. We'll be sort of circles, but it's all right. I'm going to look exactly like that. So we'll just change. So we're going to look at complex stats and something else. Something I just said. I want to write two things. I said this is a couple logical space. You can make a program with a spreadsheet to define what are an open subsets. And if I look at an open subset of this, I'm going to look at a series of the pre-image of you, a complex that is in fact the same thing. So these are going to be convergent or raw series, where you have to suggest that we're already speaking to this in the same way. And this also is my, that you can be continuous, blur-cell, my functions here. So here, this is good. And this is also going to be continuous. These functions is going to satisfy this. And both of these, this was various iterations of this that have been done, but I think it's in the setting. I guess the general theory is that I plug these functions and then you want this to be closed under, comes together via this, this here. Okay, say a smooth, right, this study of, you talk about, for cleric potential here, maybe I'll say global, or geometric, or symmetric, some more, but I have spent a lot of time on this. We're in long series of other pieces that find a way to solve this equation using the variational method that we should try minimizing or maximizing some kind of equation. The question again, what's that mean? The picture here was the iterations come together and also formulate a theory which just doesn't really make it complex. And I don't have to be in this situation. Complex are here, right? So what does it mean here in the complex? It means that we have a global, almost a zero form and a wedge, it means conjugate, that's what your structure is. It's a kind of simplicity. So you're saying about the solution, I mean, we still have to play. Yeah, yeah, yeah. People are still at it. We should, in this case, right? So we've been one, right? So if I want to solve, now as opposed to solve, I want to compare, I guess, to solve this with a continuous solution. So there's some sense on this state that if R in this state goes through the solution, it doesn't have to do it. It's not in my state. It's to say that, say that it's R. So T is this parameter, and F is T. This is just kind of a generic and homogeneous polynomial. In that situation, say what exactly it means to solve the problem. It's got a global version of it.


Hello everyone, this is Ahmed Daan and on this channel you'll find financial travel and more videos. If you like what you see, please do the thumbs up and consider subscribing. Thank you Hello everyone, this is Ahmed Daan of Ahmeddaan.com today I'll talk about airplane and its recent announcement making Porter Airlines a partner starting July 2020 what it means that starting that point you'll be able to earn and redeem airplane using Porter flights and This partnership opens up a new opportunity for airplane members and at the same time airplane is in talks with One World Alliance member One World Alliance which has 13 members and some other partners. Some of its partners are airlines such as British Airways, American Airlines, Cathay Pacific and many more So if these talks with One World Alliance become successful then you'll be able to earn and redeem airplane points through One World partnership or partners which is just like the way you earn and redeem airplane points through Star Alliance program right now which Air Canada is a part of and this membership with Air Canada and Star Alliance will end in July 2020 So the question you may be asking whether you should redeem all your airplane points right now or you should hold and wait to see what happens after July 2020 and I'll address these questions today in this video So before I do that, let me show you something first and then I'll talk about or I'll give you my honest opinion on what to do or what I would do if I'm in the same situation So I do have some airplane points and what I'm going to tell you is exactly what I'll be doing as well before July 2020 So let's get started So here we are looking at the airplane redemption chart which is valid up to July 2020 and if you'd like to redeem for any Star Alliance partners which is including Air Canada and other Star Alliance member airlines then this is the chart you're going to be redeeming airplane miles accordingly For example, let's say if you're flying to Asia one and you'd require in order to fly economy class you'd require 75,000 miles for roundtrip and for business class it would be 150,000 miles for roundtrip which is Asia one Now I'm going to show you what Airplan is saying It will keep the same redemption rate after the July 2020 So for example, here is this page where Airplan is just giving us some updates the beginning of a new Airplan our promise and they're mentioning that Starting July 2020 the following roundtrip flights will be offered beginning at the same mileage levels that we provide today and if you look here let's say for Asia which is going to be 75,000 miles for Asia which is right now the same if you fly economy class but what they're not able to offer because they're not a part of any alliance partner they are not able to offer any business class flights starting that point July 2020 and you get the best value out of your points when you fly business class for example 75,000 miles for Asia economy class ticket would cost I would say approximately let's say if you're going to India from Toronto and back it would be somewhere in the range of 1500 to 2000 dollars and the same flight when you're flying business class then it can run from let's say about 7,000 to 10,000 dollars or even could be more and then you'd require only 150,000 points for that so you can see that you're getting a lot more out of your points if you're using for business class and this is what you're going to lose if airplane is not a partner of any alliance partner for example right now it is Star Alliance and it is going to lose access to all business class flights starting that day and this flight is airplane actually giving on its own so it's just like you're booking at different flights or different airlines using this point so these flights redemption what airplane is telling us is not because they're partner with these airlines it's just because they're just giving you to redeem these points or these miles for any member any airlines they're in contract with or any airlines they have contract to redeem those via those airlines we heard that airplane is talking to one alliance partner however at this point it is not certain if that's going to happen or not so we do not know that if the talks will be effective and airplane will be able to access business class flights through one world partner which is British Airways, American Airlines, Catholic Pacific and many other so due to that reason you will get best of value out of your airplane miles if you redeem it before July 2020 and if you use for business class redemption then it will be it will give you more benefits or more value for example my last trip was to Asia all business class going back and returning back to Toronto, Canada and I redeemed airplane so you're looking at my itinerary receipt which I redeemed during my last trip so this is going from Toronto to Dhaka, Bangladesh and you can see that itinerary right here and let me scroll down to show you how much exactly I paid for this flight all business class okay so you can see the itinerary Turkish Airlines Toronto to Istanbul Istanbul to Dhaka all business class and let's scroll keep scrolling down and let me just go to that section okay so as you can see right here my total cost for this flight was $61.26 Canadian and this is my flight from Toronto to Dhaka via Turkish Airlines business class and this flight at that time when I booked was going for about $34,000 one way not that's not wrong trip just one way $3,000 to $4,000 on Turkish Airlines from Toronto to Dhaka so you can see the value you can get out of using airplane for certain partner Star Alliance partners which do not charge fuel surcharges and you can get tremendous tremendous value for these points which you're not going to have after July 2020 I'm going to play my clip from my last trip business class Toronto to Istanbul as I talk in the background so like I said you're not going to get value unless airplane is successful forming a partnership with one world but which are still in talks and we don't know what's going to happen and then if you redeem for airplane for porter airlines then you're not going to get that much value there either because this is just local original airlines and I don't believe they have business class and even they do it's not going to give you a value like international flight going business class for a long distance like the one you're looking at right now so there you lose the chances of redeeming your airplane miles if you do not do it before July 2020 you're losing that access to Star Alliance partnership miles with members just like the one you're watching right now which is Turkish Airlines and after that we don't know what's going to happen at this point because we don't know if the porter airlines what's the value you're going to get what the redemption chart is like to be or what other if airplane is able to form an alliance with one world so due to these facts if you're looking to get the best value out of your airplane miles and if it's necessary then I would say redeem them for business class before July 2020 but if you do not need to go anywhere or if you do not need to redeem anything then there's no need to rush because you're going to have access to economy class even after July 2020 so you can redeem it at that point whenever you need it but you're going to get lesser value but if you don't need anything right now there's no point to waste just to fly business class to get the most value out of your airplane miles so what I'm going to do I have some airplane miles which would be close to 100,000 or something like that so I'm going to use that for business class trip which I can get one way and either I'm planning to use it for going to Africa or Asia before July 2020 so I'm going to use that I'm not going to sit and wait just to see what happens because I'll not take that chances but in general if you do not need to redeem anything don't rush to redeem it but if you do need to redeem it then try to redeem it for business class that way you get the most value and if you're redeeming airplane for business class keep in mind that some of the member airlines charge fuel surcharges which is going to make you pay a lot so do not redeem airplane for this member airlines including Air Canada I do have another video about how to redeem airplane miles without paying fuel surcharges and I'll put that video in the description box below so keep in mind when you're redeeming airplane for business class flights or any flights because some flights charge fuel surcharges and if you would like to get the most out of your airplane miles and if you have travel plans coming up then definitely use them for business class before July 2020 but if you have nothing to do just sit tight and just wait because you'll have access to economy class even later on that date so that's my take on this if you like what you see please give it a thumbs up and consider subscribing on this channel you'll find financial travel and other videos I have lots of videos on parade cars and points and miles and travel videos and all my travels are business class or most of them are business class travel expensive or upscale hotel stay and most of these are done using points and miles and that's what I talk about on this channel and I talk about and I actually show you those travel videos what I'm doing unlike other channels where they're talking about everything but there's nothing specific or they're not showing you any proof or anything but on my channel you'll see exactly what I'm doing and whenever I go on a trip you can actually follow day by day my trip and most of my trip 99% of them are booked using miles and points and I have a trip coming up this year 2018 in November and I'll be going to Australia, New Zealand, Singapore and Malaysia and I have actually 7 business class flights and 3 economic class flights the business class flights are all done on points and you'll be able to track this trip day by day as well so if you haven't subscribed already subscribed and I'll see you shortly thank you for watching


What's the difference between FLFE, scalar light, and Chi energy AI? In this video I'm going to explain to you the science and the technology behind quantum energy, scalar energy, or Chi energy services that are available now. Then you need to watch this video so you can understand the technology better and see what's available. My name is David Wang and I'm the founder of ChiLive, we're the world's number one company in the development of Chi energy technologies. Here I've made a simple comparison chart that you can look at right away. You're going to get the link off this in the description. First let's talk about the automation. Is the service or the energy being sent to you in an automated way? With FLFE it looks like it's automated but I'm not sure but chances are yes it has some kind of automation that comes with it so it doesn't require a real person to send you the energy. Scalar light is not automated, it requires someone to actually schedule a time to send you that energy that they're generating. Chi energy AI is fully automated and I'm going to explain to you later how it's automated to the point where you can just set and forget. You can completely customize your experience which means you can choose between 10 different energy signatures, you can choose the amplitude of them, and you can choose how long and when they're going to be sent to you. Second category is EMF protection. So does this service give you EMF protection? FLFE pretty clearly says that it does have EMF protection. Scalar light I cannot find anything that talks about EMF protection on their website. Chi energy AI all of our energy signatures include EMF protection in them so as I said we have 10 distinct different energy signatures with four amplitudes or four intensity levels for each one which means that we have 40 different energy signatures and each one of them has EMF protection built in to each energy signature. Next can you send the energy to your phone? Yes you can send energy to a phone number through FLFE through scalar light they do not send it to a phone apparently you send a photo of yourself and they send it to a photo. Chi energy AI you can send up to actually five phones so if you have different people in your home that you want to send to your family members or an elderly that lives somewhere else you can send up to five different people if you get the premium account. Next is can you send to an address with FLFE you can send to one address with scalar light once again they do not do not send to phones or addresses they send to a photo of a person or animal. Chi energy AI you can send up to two addresses with our premium plan. Unlimited duration so FLFE yes it's a limited duration you can just turn it on and leave it on and what they'll do is if you buy a program and subscribe to it they'll send it to you once a day and then for an hour so what they do is they actually have a real person to send it to you so if you subscribe to one of the programs they're going to send you energy for about an hour of that day. With Chi energy AI you have unlimited duration that means all of your signatures you can turn them on 24-7 you can play seven days a week 365 days a year. Adjustable power settings so with focus life force energy there's only one power setting and there's only one energy signature so you don't really get to choose different energy signatures or how strong it's going to be so basically if it works and you like it then great if you don't like it you don't have any choices of anything else. With killer lag they also don't have the option of selecting the intensity of the energy signatures with Chi energy AI if you go into the back end if you go to phone numbers or addresses each energy signature has four different intensity levels so you can select from low to medium high or ultra and you can instantly switch from one intensity level to another. So why do we have different intensity levels? Some people are more energetically sensitive than other people and they probably won't need more than a low or medium but some people need more so we have a higher or ultra or you just want to get a short blast of this energy you can just select ultra run it for 10 minutes and you're going to get that potent blast of Chi energy we'll come back to this control panel in a second let's move on one the most important differences in comparisons is the energy signatures so with FLFE as I said how many do you get you get just one energy signature you don't get to choose other ones except basic general wellness and health one that they have with scalar light looks like they have nine different programs here with Chi energy AI we have 10 different programs as you can see in our back panel we have quantum recovery quantum body energy quantum mental energy quantum calm quantum meditation quantum brain longevity quantum abundance quantum confidence quantum motivation and quantum dream if you want to learn more about this you can just go to our website Chi energy AI go to programs and even click the graphic you're going to read about what these energy signatures are and what the distinct differences are so with 10 different energy signatures you get to choose what experience you get so for example recovery is the all-purpose one for total wellness body energy is kind of like organic coffee people use this feel like they want to exercise and they want to get out and move their body quantum mental energy is really great for focus for concentration for studying for work quantum calm is really great for anxiety or stress it instantly relaxes your mind and it helps a lot with pain management as well quantum meditation helps you to open your third eye unlock your crown chakra helps you to get into those deep meditation states quantum brain longevity uses new tropics for longevity and for brain and wellness then we move on to our premium energy signatures which are very powerful and very potent quantum abundance gets you to the flow and the frequency of abundance so you feel positive and you start attracting good things to your life quantum confidence is excellent for people who want to get that extra boost quantum motivation gets people to take action stop procrastination quantum dream it's excellent for lucid dreaming improving imagination and for deep delta and theta sleep so on top of having 10 different energy signatures you also have to consider how strong and how effective each energy signature is now this is just my personal and objective observation is that when i use f l f e i can feel it but in a scale from 1 to 10 of how strong it is it is a 3 and it's good that it's a 3 because you don't want it to be a 10 and it might overload some people be too strong so is it that 3 which is okay scalar light is about the same but from what i found the effects are not that consistent maybe because they're using a real person to send it to you so who knows maybe that person is not having a good day and they're sending energy to you it could affect the quality of the energy signature but the gene energy ai is fully automated we use an algorithm we use software so there's no human interaction when sending you the energy signatures all the interaction that's required is that you're just going to go into the control panel as i showed you and just select the energy signatures that you want to be sent so with our energy signatures because we have the low to ultra we've designed the ultra intensities to be too strong for most people and a lot of people can't use this for more than let's say 30 minutes after 30 minutes they feel like their chi energy has been saturated they may feel dizzy they may feel nauseous they may feel actually sleepy as well that's because you have just too much energy you've had enough so you can turn it off so that's why we score 10 in terms of the strength of the energy signatures next is playing multiple signatures at the same time so with f l f e there's only one signature so this is not applicable scale alike i think you have to buy them separately and you can get up to nine different signatures uh we'll talk about the pricing in a second but then they once again they have to send them to you manually by person with chi energy ai you can select up to five different signatures to broadcast at the same time so for example i go to quantum recovery i like the low and then i want quantum quality energy and now there's two added to error i want quantum calm and then let's say i want quantum abundance i turned that up as well and then i stay on quantum motivation so now i can select up to five different energy signatures to broadcast simultaneously through our system so that that so that this phone number or address is going to get all five energy signatures at the same time so this is very powerful so you can mix and match different energy signatures and find what works best for you or your family next is a very powerful feature that nobody else has and this is a revolutionary because now you can schedule broadcasts by time and day of week let's say that i want to send quantum body energy to myself in the morning from let's say 9 a.m to 11 a.m so what i do is just change the schedule here i go here i select 9 a.m to 11 a.m i turn off the afternoon schedule and i click complete to all and then in one click now i've scheduled all the energy that's going to come to me at 9 to 11 a.m from monday through sunday now let's say i only want it on monday and i don't want it on tuesday and i can turn off tuesday you can turn off thursday or if you want on wednesday you want it to be starting at 10 a.m instead of 11 just switch this to 10 a.m instead of 11 a.m and now you've changed the time from 10 to 11 a.m so you see how powerful this is and then let's say that i only want the load to send to me at that time you turn on the schedule you can turn it off you can turn it on okay and you can turn off specific days so it's completely customizable how and when you get these energy signatures sent to you so let's say at night time you want to play quantum dream so let's go down to quantum dream here and then we look at the schedule once again so let's say you would go down to quantum dream here you turn on the schedule and let's say i want to do quantum dream from 10 p.m to 3 a.m so here i'm going to select the morning that goes from zero or midnight to 3 a.m and then now in the afternoon schedule it goes from 10 p.m to 11 59 p.m so i'm basically going from 10 p.m to 3 a.m now click copy to all and now instantly i have this scheduled i'm going to get quantum dream let's say i want medium i turn on medium so now from 10 p.m to 3 a.m every day every night i'm going to get quantum dream sent to me so do you see how powerful this is you can fine tune what energy is sent to you how intense it is and the schedule of when it's going to be sent to you very precisely and very customizable so over a couple of days you just fine tune your schedule and then you just set and forget you never even have to come back to this control panel and you'll be receiving exactly the energy that you want to receive day after day week after week year after year that's how powerful this is all right now let's talk about the trial offers FLFE has a free trial it's a 15 day free trial with no credit card needed so you want to just try it out you know i encourage you to go try out and test out their system and see how it feels and see how it compares with ours scalar light also have the 15 day trial without credit card what we have is a demo page that you can use for as long as you want so if you go to our website you go to the top you see this link that says free demo go and click that and what we have is a live broadcast page where you're going to get this energy signature called quantum mind energy ultra so what we've done is we quantum entangled this specific page with an energy signature so that when this page is open on your phone or on your computer it's going to be broadcasting that energy to you so all you have to do is just leave the tab open you can be out navigating the under screens but as long as you have this tab open on your browser it's going to be broadcasting if you want to turn it off just make sure to click the x and close off that actual tab now let's turn off so that is our demo page and that will allow you to field a demo of the energy that's coming from our system now let's talk about price so FLFE focused life force energy starts at a $35 per month so with scale light they start at about $75 per month if you just want to get a single program but looks like they have a standard scalar program that's $175 per month and looks like they have a standard scalar program that is $175 for a single month or if you sign up every month it's $147 per month genergy ai starts at $27 per month so that's less than a dollar a day you get this energy signature and you get to send it to one phone a limited duration and it has emf protection built in you can upgrade to the plus plan which gives you an extra phone number so you can have two phone numbers and it adds an address on there also it gets you the access to play up to three energy signatures at the same time and the scheduling feature upgrade to our premium and you get five phone numbers two addresses you get access to our premium energy signatures so all 10 energy signatures and you can broadcast five energy signatures simultaneously and also the scheduling feature refund policy so I was looking at their website at their terms and conditions there's no refunds forged f lf e and if you do a cancel your membership if you have a longer membership there is a $60 administration fee scalar light also does not provide refunds there's also a $50 cancellation fee genergy ai we offer a 60-day money back guarantee with no fees no questions asked that's how confident we are in our technology and then we can boldly claim that we are the world's most powerful automated energy healing system affiliate program so once you start using your system you're going to start sharing with your friends so why not get rewarded for sharing this amazing technology with other people f lf e has a affiliate program that pays 20 commission however there is a minimum 20 referral so you need to refer 20 friends before you even get your first commission check scalar the light I could not find any information on any affiliate program genergy ai we have an affiliate program that is very lucrative and very rewarding if you want to learn more about it you can go directly to the bottom of the site click affiliates and apply as affiliate or you can just join up and automatically become an affiliate yourself and our program is based on healing the world earn more than just passive income earn tens of thousands of commissions by recommending the world's most powerful automated quantum wellness platform so we offer a 30% commission on your referrals you can learn more on the affiliates page on our website and finally we have the share the energy feature which nobody else has except us this is a new feature that we just created where you can send energy demonstrations to your friends and get rewarded when they subscribe and become a member in this new section you can select the energy signature that you want to send to your friend for 30 minutes you can send it up to five different people per day they can get it for 30 minutes each and you can only send it to them one time a day but first you need your friends to verify the phone number with the code that we're going to send to them so that we know you have their approval to send that energy signature to them they can stop the energy broadcast anytime if they want to stop it earlier then the 30 minutes by just sending a text back to us stop energy so this is very powerful because you can be sending this to other people let them experience the energy themselves and they're going to be completely mind blown and wowed to the point that they want to sign up and what we've done is actually coded the text message so that when you click the link on that text message they get from us they're going to be connected to your affiliate account so you're going to get rewarded when they sign up well there you have it wouldn't you agree that we have the best technology and best offerings available what do you think if you have questions make sure you ask them in the comments below


And now an Ig Nobel Prize favorite moment, with Bruce Pachec to bring umbrellas. For the past 20 years I've been part of the video crew that records the Ig Nobel ceremony for the Improbable Research YouTube channel. And our control booth has always been 30 feet shy of the stage where the human target stands when everyone throws paper airplanes. Which means that all the less well engineered paper airplanes end up falling directly on us. My favorite memory was the year we were given permission to bring umbrellas and that has changed our lives. The Ig Nobel Prize's honor achievements that make people laugh, then think. This historic Ig Nobel favorite moment video stars Bruce Pachec, who directed the videography at most of the Ig Nobel ceremonies. The 30th first annual Ig Nobel Prize ceremony will be webcast September 17th, 2020. Details about the Ig Nobel Prizes can be found at www.improbable.com


I'm Antoine Hunter, also known as Purple Firecrow. Welcome to Deaf Woke. I'm your host. I'm really excited for today's event. Today, August 26, 2021. We're here. I gotta let y'all know, man, I'm still recovering from the Bay Area International Deaf Dance Festival. Woo, hi. But that doesn't mean I can stop. I gotta keep it going. I thoroughly enjoy meeting various types of people, learning from their culture, cultures within Deaf culture. I feel like connecting with those people. It's like new family members. It's like just, it's warm. It's powerful. My mind is still growing, you know? And I wish the world can experience that every day in life. You know, for example, just going to meet somebody, you know, meeting Deaf leaders that own their own business. It's incredibly inspiring for me. Now, before we start our show, I want to introduce our two beautiful interpreters. Well, hello, hello. This is Jay. And good to see you, Kaylee. Y'all doing all right? Kaylee says, yeah, yeah. Okay, woo, woo, woo. All right. I hope you all have a good time with us today. Thank you for being here onto our fabulous guest. Let me give you a little information about her. Our guest for this evening is Alitha Lindsey, A-L-E-A-T-H-A, last name, L-I-N-D-S-A-Y. Lindsey is a Atlanta-based, award-winning multi-disciplinary artist, independent curator, disability advocate, and published author. She is a graduate of Georgia State University, Russell Sage College, as well as the Savannah College of Arts and Design, where she holds a master's of arts and creative business leadership. She's trained in classical ballet. She's appeared in films and theater productions. She also studied dance movement therapy in Kohl Ruff, Greece. After completing her studies, she went on to pursue post in the mental health, arts community development, and special education arenas. She's been deaf at the age of two. She credits her early exposure to the arts with helping her overcome the challenges related to her disability. Her work has been purchased by collectors nationally and exhibited in Atlanta, New York, Spain, Morocco, and Norway. Lindsey is the founder and curator of the IKUE, I-K-O-U-I-I Creative, an organization that supports artists with disabilities globally and assists organizations in adopting more inclusive attitudes. The IKUE Creative serves artists worldwide in countries including the United States, Canada, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, Australia, Japan, Israel, India. The organization offers diverse spectrum of exhibits, events, and programs to amplify its impact in the arts sector. Please welcome Alia Lindsey.  I'm so happy to be here. I'm happy to see you. Likewise. So my first question, man, how are you? I'm great. I'm great, I'm great. It's been a busy week, but I'm great. Well, busy doing what? Oh, oh, so many different projects and we're getting ready for our next exhibition and editing book, I'm just, it's just been crazy busy with a lot of projects. Let's go back to your book. Okay. So tell us a little bit about it. Okay, well, the IKUE Book Project, I started it through the organization. In 2019, the IKUE Book Project, the mission of the project was basically to reiterate one of our values that people who are really able, individual artists can be an integral part of the arts. Has, you know, art professionals, artists, performers, patrons, art collectors. So I thought what better way to educate people by putting it in a book. And so the first edition came out last year. And so we highlighted 30 individuals from all over the world, 13 countries. Some of the artists that were highlighted in the book are actually deaf. And I just wanted to highlight different people who were doing different things and educate about the need of access and diversity and being inclusive. And I'm just excited to work on the second edition. And hopefully I can get Mr. Hunter in the second edition, hopefully. But yeah, the book is doing great and it's been sold to 15 countries. It's in libraries all across the US. It's in the collection at Gallaudet University at RIT. It's amazing. So I'm ready to get into that second edition. What was it like growing up in Georgia? Great, I had a great upbringing. I was homeschooled from a young age due to being deaf, actually. They were telling my mom that I wouldn't pass the third, fourth grade level if she was just like, forget that. And so she took me out of school, homeschooled me. I graduated, obviously, I have three degrees. So yeah, and being homeschooled actually allowed me to pursue creative endeavors. So I spent a small amount of time in school, but I got into painting. I started going to ballet from a young age and I was just really immersed into the creative activities. So that's how my upbringing was. That's right, you just decided to prove people wrong. Exactly. I love education. I love people telling me that I can't do this, I can't do that, because I'm gonna get out there and show them I can do it. Exactly.  So what do you do to keep your energy, your motivation going? What motivates me is just the passion, the desire to do what I do. I love what I do, so that's what keeps me going. That's what keeps my energy going. As long as you love what you do, I mean, you will find the energy. You know? Yes, yes, yes. Yes, I concur. Doing what you love doing, that's how you get that energy. It's a transferable transaction, you know? Correct. So you have three degrees in what? Well, I originally wanted to be a creative art therapist. I'm still passionate about that. But I eventually wanted to work in museums and work in art organizations in a leadership role so that I could create programs and do... My lifetime mission is to be inclusive and diverse. So that was the way that I can do it. So my first degree is in fine art. And then I went and pursued a creative art therapy degree. And then the third degree is my graduate degree in creative business design and leadership. So it's a full circle kind of thing. Can you tell me more about the dance movement therapy that you were describing? The dance movement therapy. Well, I think it was just a progression from starting classical ballet training from a very young age. And so it was ingrained in me to be a dancer. I was a dancer all along. That's all I knew for a while. And so I did that for 15 years. I started to do modern dance, jazz, and that type of thing. And so when I pursued my degree in creative art therapy, which was dance movements, art visual therapy, music therapy, all that stuff, it was just so exciting. And so, yeah, at one point I was gonna be a dance movement therapist, but you know how life is, your plans change. And so, yeah. Yes, yes, yes, yes. So, do you believe that people should attend something like that dance therapy that it could be inspiring? Absolutely. What did you learn about that transition from what you were starting to where you are? Hold on. Before I had been a performer, and so dance movement therapy is about tapping into the inner person. And it's about healing and recognizing dramas and the different things that we go through in life. And so it's interesting to work with people doing the dance movement therapy and seeing how they address things about themselves and they learn new things and they experience healing and some awoke moments of realization through dance and movement. So it's not about performing, it's about working on your internal. It's some deep stuff. Yeah. Yeah, so in my training I worked with a lot of people, the elderly children, people with differently-abled abilities. So it was amazing to see when they go through this dance movement therapy, how they make a progression, and it changes a person. It's not easy, but wow. Learning that it's more, especially being deaf, especially being a person of color, we really need, I mean, all humans need dance therapy. Speaking of deaf people, my understanding is you recognize that you were deaf at age two? Yeah, right? At age two is when you were identified. Yeah, I lost my hearing at around the age and it's interesting because I didn't have any idea of disability or that I couldn't do things until probably college. That's when I started getting experiences where I felt limited. And I think being homeschooled, I didn't really experience a lot of access issues. I mean, even in dance, what I was doing ballet, my ballet teachers were very cautious of making sure that I was following the music and making sure that they put in an effort to make sure that I understood the class and the steps and whatnot. So I didn't really experience like feeling like, oh, I am disabled or anything until I got into college. And then there was access issues and discrimination and that type of thing. So yeah. Yeah, yeah.  I said, I realized that we had mentioned that you are a strong advocate. Yes, yes, yes. You are working and making sure people understand their rights, supporting because of your experience, things that were taken away from you as an artist. What did you learn when providing the space for people like you, people like me? What did you learn during this journey? Is it easy? Was it easy? Well, that's a great question. Well, I have worked for some time in the arts as an artist and as art profession. I was directing at a gallery. I was coordinating programs at art museums and whatnot. And after a while, I noticed that there was still such a need for more access and there was a lack of diversity and it wasn't inclusive. And so that is what led me to start iCoupie because I wanted a space where I had access myself and that other people would have access and that it was diverse.  They found that of the staff that's being hired in these organizations, only 4% identified with a disability and then only 4% were black. And they looked at the art that was being shown in major art museums and galleries and we found that it was less than 2% that were by black artists. And that's ridiculous.  So we're getting degrees in art education, art history, fine arts, painting, whatever. We're the second largest group but they're not even hiring us. They're not even showing our art at the same rate. So it's in balance. So I guess a lot of us are freelancers. We're starting our own organizations or we're changing careers. It's unfortunate, but I will say that over the last year and a half because of the Black Lives Matter and this whole like movement, I have been seeing more, our organizations and galleries become more, include more black art and they're making an effort to hire more black. Like there's some organizations that have been around for 50 years and they're like, okay, we just hire our first black curator. So I think that we're making some progress and we're moving in the right direction but it's still, it's still crazy.  But we've been there knocking on the door asking to let us in. We wanted to be involved forever in over 70-ish years, over 50 years. We've been asking, begging, imploring, knocking on the door to let us in and they just recently allowed us in. But what you're doing right now is knocking the hinges off the door 24-7, welcoming all the people. You're not obstructing anyone.   You know, how do people feel when they come to your space? I feel like a lot of people feel enlightened. They're in awe. They're like, wow. I didn't know that there was such a thing, you know. And even with the book, which I have right here, it's the book. Even with the book, people are emailing and they're sending messages on social media and they're like, wow. I feel like, you know, I've been reeducated and I agree that there needs to be more access. There needs to be more inclusivity in the arts. And the other part of it is there's disabled artists who are reaching out and they're like, wow. I can do whatever, you know. I feel encouraged because they're resonating with the stories that are in the book and they're feeling encouraged. So that's just, yeah. Yeah, I see that your shirt, I says, care, dear, care, what does your shirt say? This is actually a shirt for my t-shirt line called Dear Black Artists. It's about empowering black artists.  So, yeah, we have a website called DearBlackArtists.com. That's beautiful. Cute. That t-shirt is beautiful. I want one. I want one. Yes. I would like for you to explain how can people get involved with IKA, your organization? You know, what does the process look like with the IKOU? Okay. Well, we have several different ways that people can get involved. They can volunteer with providing access. We always need people. We always need people to get involved. And so they can go online, IKAWI.com, it's a lot of form. And they can just tell what they're interested in. And also we do a lot of collaborative projects with other organizations. We're doing a project right now with the Dyer Gallery in New York. And previously we've worked at different museums and whatnot. And so we are always seeking ways to collaborate with other organizations regardless of location. And also artists sometimes reach out to collaborate with some of our artists. So that's another option as well. So there's just so many different ways to get involved. I love it. I love it. I wanna show a video, but we're gonna need your support to explain what the video, what we're seeing in the video. If you can explain what the title of the video, I think it's a short video. So it looks like an art party. Can you give us a little explanation before we play it? Oh, the yellow, the yellow exhibition. That was a fun, fun event. It was so bright in there. It was an exhibition where we had artists bringing in artwork that was made and inspired by the color yellow. And we had people who were visiting. We told them that if they came in with a yellow outfit, we would give them a free print. And so they just have these beautiful yellow outfits.  And we took a lot of pictures. And so yeah, that was one of my favorite events that we've done. And we're actually doing it again, but with a different color, blue. So that should be interesting as well. Oh, blue, okay. I missed the memo. I got the yellow memo. Okay, let's watch a little bit of that event. I saw the yellow paint. I did see people in yellow outfits. I saw yellow food, yeah? Oh yeah, we had a girl come in. She does raw vegan food. And so everything that she brought in was yellow. There's another video I would like to show. So my understanding is that one person is a dancer. I saw somebody painting. Can you explain a little bit about that video? Oh, I must have forgotten about that video. That was actually an example of how we have two very different artists collaborate with a project. So one artist, she's from India. And her work is primarily working with two work.  I'm actually choking a little bit because, I'm choking up a little bit because the artist, that's a dancer, passed away a few days ago that was in this video. And he was such a beautiful person and dancer and actor and he was such a prominent figure here in Atlanta, in the deaf community, disability community. He passed away a couple of days ago. And that was one of the performances that he did and I could. I'm going to show you this video. You can see it in your own screen, please. Is that what it says here? There you go. You just can't find a part of your relationship. You just can't find that part that you want to do in the future. So, you just need to bring down the truth. They're totally doing it in the outside community. You don't need to think that you are something chemical so you don't know how to do it. You have to judge it. You have to know how to do it. You just have to do it. You don't need to know how to do it. As you can see, this is an extension of the existing system. This is an extension of the existing system. And the volume of the work console is designed to proceed under that stuff. If it's open, you will not find the destination you're searching. This is an extension of the existing system and that stuff is designed to proceed under that system. So, this is an extension of the existing system. So, this is an extension of the existing system. So, this is an extension of the existing system. So, this is an extension of the existing system. This is an extension of the existing system. This is an extension of the existing system. The volume of the work console is designed to proceed under that stuff. If it's open, you will not find the destination you're searching. This is an extension of the existing system and that stuff is designed to proceed under that system. Wow. Beautiful. Just beautiful. Yeah, I can see. What a beautiful dancer. Spirit was connected to that movement. Community surrounded him. I could definitely see that yellow. That was powerful. So, what's coming up with the blue? And why the title blue? Well, we're still accepting submissions from artists right now for the blue exhibition. And it will open sometime in late September. So, yeah, I'm looking forward to it. I'm impressed with some of the submissions that we've gotten so far. People are really being very innovative and just finding new ways to use the color below. Thank you for sharing that with us. It's driving our excitement for the next one. Wait, when is it? I think September the 25th is when we will open the exhibition for a blueish. That's what it's called. Blueish. Okay. Sounds nice. And I'm still blackish. I'm looking forward to blueish. I might have to come out there and see it. Who's your role model? What do you look up to? I don't think that there is a particular one person. I think that it's a collective of different people that have inspired me and whatnot. But I will say personally has an artist. I've always been a big fan of Ernie Barnes and Elizabeth Catlett. You can see some of the inspiration in my personal work from those two. Who are they? I'm a professional visual artist. Elizabeth Catlett was a sculptor. Ernie Barnes was a professional football player turned painter. His work is actually, it's just beautiful. It's basically a homage to black culture and everything. There's so much movement. But I resonated with, you know, because I love movement in my art. Beautiful. Wow. My next question may be a little complicated. How do you identify? Some say an art generalist, a deaf artist, a dancer. How do you identify?  Being an artist is a part of me.  It's all together. It's interesting because I've had some individuals in the deaf community come up to me and just be like, you're not deaf. And I actually reached out to my audiologist and I was like, am I deaf or am I hard of hearing or what?   So I've had to deal with that, judge me. I think it's because something to do with, you know, that I prefer to use my voice and I feel more empowered and comfortable with using my voice, whether they sign it. And I also get some kind of judgment from the hearing world because they'll say, I don't hear a deaf absence. So why are you identifying his deaf?  So that's why I probably speak really well. I don't know. I think I had a fluence that that made me more confident to use my voice and I feel empowered to use my voice because of her working with me since I was, you know, two.  Everybody should be comfortable with whatever form of language communication they want to use. And I think we all are in this together because we deal with some of their challenges. We all have access issues. And so we shouldn't be that way towards each other. I got a little heavy for a minute, but I felt like I had to say it because I had a recent someone reached out to me. They're like, why do you identify his deaf? So that's my explanation. You can go ahead and say it. I'm deaf and I'm proud to be deaf. I'm black. I'm deaf and I'm proud to be it. You are always welcome here.  You are welcome here. I don't judge you. And I want to clarify with all people that deaf, I want to clarify to all deaf and hearing people, all because I can speak. It doesn't mean I have to. If I can't hear, so reflect my ability to speak. Some deaf people can speak and articulate clearly. Some can't. Some deaf people can speak English and some people can speak Spanish clearly, but their English might be a little broken. It doesn't matter. It can be a challenge. How things sound like. So people in the audience, if you're watching, some deaf people can hear birds. Some can hear motorcycles. Some can't hear birds. There's no one monolithic deaf person. So like Alitha, you can be like her.   Thank you for sharing that space. Your book is amazing. That book can provide a young person. Give them a door to walk through. Those people may not be too deaf to them. They get the opportunity of somebody being listened to. It's not about the ears, it's about the heart. Let them hear you. Yeah, you agree? Right. I agree. Thank you for saying that. And you're picking up ASL, yeah? I am. Yes. How do you feel learning ASL? Is it something that you're picking up or do you feel like it's tough? I actually have a cousin who's the same age as me and is deaf. And he was teaching me some signs along the way. And so I picked up that way. And then in college, I took an ASL class. And so I could hold a little bit of a conversation. But I wasn't comfortable doing a whole interview in sign language. We can do the ABCs if you need. Yeah, I can do the ABCs. I can have a conversation. All right, come on. Let's do it. Here we go. Come on. A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, O, hold on. Wait a minute. K, L, M, N, O, P, Q, R, S, T, U, B, W, X, Y, Z. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's what I'm talking about. Yeah. And we're getting close to the end of the show. So I got a game for you. You ready? Yeah, here we go. So this next segment of our show is called Name These People. Now there's two different ways in which you can name them. You can actually name their names or you can kind of describe what they do. For example, maybe the president, a fireman. All right, you ready? Okay. See, now you're talking my language.  Who is she? Michelle Obama, First Lady. Yes, yes. If y'all don't know her, I would have been a little scared. Yeah, Michelle Obama from South Side of Chicago. She is the wife of the 44th president. She was on a show called Waffles and Mochi. It's on Netflix.   Who is she? I've seen her before. What do you think she does? If you can't remember her name, is she an actress, a musician? I think she might be an interpreter, but I'm not sure. Am I close? Yeah, she's an ASL performer. Not like an interpreter, but a performer. Her name is Raven Sutton. She's from Alabama. She's a dancer, ASL performer, Deaf Awareness Advocate. She was on our show, I think, two weeks ago. She's amazing. She's just less loose. Awesome.  Who is he? He's a filmmaker. I might take his name right now, but I know he's a filmmaker. He's done a lot of films. Name one of his movies. I'm drawing a blank. I know his movies. Spike Lee. Spike Lee. You know he's from Atlanta, Georgia, and he moved to New York. He's an American film director, producer, screenwriter, actor, and professor. I think he's made over 35 films. Spike, his nickname is Spike. This next one is a cool, cool, cool person. He's deaf. As a picture of an African-American male, sits crossing his arms with long, block locks flowing over his shoulders, wears a light, teal blue, opening button blouse, and grins at the camera. Who is he? His name is Mervyn O'Brien. Deaf, native of New Orleans, Louisiana, dancer, actor, choreographer. He's a beautiful human. Right now he's in New York. He's involved in all kinds of activities in New York. I hope you get the opportunity to meet this amazing person. Now, he's also my good friend. A visual picture of an African-American female appears in the background of several trees standing with her right hand on her right hip while smiles at the camera. Who is she? I have no idea. Her name's Catherine. Her name is Stefan. She's an educator, a yoga teacher, and several others. She also wrote a book. Oh, wow, okay. I hope y'all connect. She was on an earlier episode of Deaf Woke.  Who is he? Looks like the president of the Deaf Black Association or something. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. Mm-hmm, mm-hmm. Yeah, you got it. Dr. Glenn Anderson. He's the one of the founders of the National Black Deaf Advocates. He's the first deaf male to receive a PhD from the Gallaudet University in Washington, DC. A visual description. A picture of an African-American female sits in the back of a wheelchair facing to the camera, wearing a bright, arm-pink dress. She wears in a blue, long, black, curly, twisted hairstyle, posing in a dance with her hands that touch on the hands that it's back. One right leg stretching out with a foot touched on her gray floor. She smiles at the camera. Who is she? I'm sorry. Hold on. The captures went off. I can get them back on. I know her. She is an Aikui artist, actually. India Harville, I think it is. India Harville. She's one of our members. Mm-hmm. Yes. India Harville. The captures are still not working. She's from the Bay Area in California. Mm-hmm.  She's one of only 25 people who are advanced certification and dance ability to become a master instructor. Oh, no, I am.  Who is he? I cannot recall. His cool guy named J.C. Smith is a football star and a black student union leader at Gallaudet University in Washington, D.C. He's a cool, cool, cool guy. Oh. A visual description, a picture of an African-American female appears in her background of a green and pink flowery plant pants from outside. She has a black curly hair in one side and we're left wearing a pair of black cat-framed eyeglasses. Who is she? I believe she's probably a speaker, a disability advocate of some sort. Just not sure what her name is. Well, you are on the nose, Andrea Levant. A native of Tempe, Arizona is the president chief inclusion officer, office of Levant Counseling Incorporated through Levant Counseling. Andrea teaches brands ways to create disability inclusive marketing campaigns. She is impact producer and Oscar-nominated 2020 documentary called Crip Camp. Hey, okay.  She has a long black hair over her shoulders. She glances to the left at the camera smiling a little bit. Who is she? She is the first deaf-blind lawyer. I believe. What is her name? Her name is not covered to me, but I know she is the first deaf-blind lawyer. She went to Yale, I believe. She has a book that's amazing. That's close. The college is close. Her name. Ah. Hadian Gurma. You got it. You were right there. She's deaf-blind. She's an author. Graduated from Harvard Law School. She was recognized to be an award by the President Barack Obama, who's named her the White House Champion of Change. What? She has a book called Habian the Deaf-Blind Woman Who Conquered Harvard Law. This one might be a little challenging, but the visual description, a picture of an African-American female appears in her honey short curly hairstyle wears a dark gray blouse with a short necklace of diamonds matching to a pair of diamonds that earrings smiles at the camera. What do you think she does? News hosting. That's my best guess. This is Claudia L. Gordon. She's a native of Jamaica.  She's been active in both black deaf community and the disability community. Claudia has become the first deaf person to work at the White House for a few years. During the Barack Obama's presidency, she is an incredible person. I hope you get the opportunity to meet her. Alright, last one.  He has a deeply gray sunny hat with strings, wears a blue shirt with a pair of gray shorts and a black brown beaded bracelet on his right hand and wrist. Who is he? He's a dancer. Yeah. And he actually doesn't live too far from me. Yeah. Can't remember his name, but if I saw him right now, I would be like, okay, I don't know. Yeah, he's a dancer. He's done a lot of videos where he, you know, does songs in ASL and he was really big on ASL for hip-hop music. He's done a lot of music videos. Can't remember his name. Mm-hmm. That's right. Matt Maxi, native of Atlanta, Georgia. You're both from Georgia. Is known as definitely dope. That name definitely dope is a brand to help merge the gap between the hearing and deaf worlds and later evolved to a platform. So, good job. Good job. Yeah. I know time is running out. I don't want to be greedy. Someone allow the audience to pose some questions. So, this segment of the show is Ask Alitha Anything. So, I'll go ahead and read some of these questions. Can you remind us what your three degrees are in? Fine arts, creative art therapy and creative business design and leadership. Hi, Alitha. I'm so new to IKWI. Hope I spell it right. Are you offering deaf BIPOC college students to take an internship to work at IKWI? Absolutely, absolutely. They could just go on our websites and fill out a form and we'll get in contact with interview. Will you ever go back to dance? I kind of miss it. It's been 10 years since I had my last professional dance performance. It's a funny story actually because my friend came over to my place in New York. I was living in New York at the time. And she saw in the newspaper that they were doing auditions for Aida. And she dared me to go and audition. And it was the very next day that she went with me. And so, I went to the audition. I had so much fun. I love the people and I love the choreography and I didn't think anything of it. So, I just went on about my business and a few days later it contacted me and said, you've been casted. So, that was exciting. That was a cool, very cool experience to be on Broadway. I was working two full-time jobs at the time. A day job, an overnight job from 9 p.m. to 8 a.m. So, I don't even know how I managed to go to my rehearsals and do the performances. But it was really fun. Yes. Do you have any new projects in the near future that will challenge you? The project has its own set of challenges and always take away something from each project. I think the next, like, biggest challenging thing, if I were to say something was challenging would be at Ike who we were trying to do an artist residency program and, you know, Adamic to make sure that it's fully accessible and that artists from all over the world can come and stay somewhere for a short period of time to make sure that that's accessible and to make sure that we have enough funding and all of that. So, I think that's the next, like, big, like, we want to say challenging project. Will you be writing your own book at any time, like an autobiography? I'm actually already writing a book. It's actually about my experience as a deaf artist in Morocco. And let me tell you, it was so many crazy adventures that happened there during my time there. And the very first day that I arrived in Morocco, I ran into another deaf woman and she started signing in Moroccan sign language. And I responded in American sign language and we understood each other. We ended up talking and chatting for about an hour in the middle of the street. So, I it's just different things that happened during my time there that I want to share. And so, yeah, that book I'm working on that. Yes, yes, yes. I love everything that you're doing. Do you have something important your last word, your last thought that you want to share with the audience? Hmm. Just be yourself and pursue the things that make you happy. That's the I guess that's my life mantra. All right, people. You can follow Alitha Lindsey on her website in social media at https colon slash i k o u i i dot com or at i g at i k o u i i. Please follow, follow, follow. Don't be afraid to connect with Alitha. Yes, absolutely. She's an amazing individual. Thank you so much for coming. It's been amazing. Thank you.

I'll see you at Lindsay. I'm an incredible human. Did y'all enjoy yourselves? I know I did. I want to say thank you to everyone who's in attendance today.  But the idea and the path changes. You transition to a different degree and then you're on that track and you change and you develop something new and you get involved in something else. All of that is something worthy to give back to the community. It develops strength. Advocacy.  I encourage you to tell me I can't do something. I'm going to show you. So the truth is, you are beautiful. You are smart. You are strong. You are incredible. I want to say thank you to all of the people. All everyone who is in attendance today. Thank you to Alitha Lindsay. Thank you to the interpreters. Thank you all. We can't forget about our captionist this evening, Miss Diana. Thank you so much. Such she's loyal.

Let me get that music so we get a little grooving going on. Where's my music at? Come on. Where is it at?


The Edge is a local idea. It was designed here. It was built by local talent. It has and it will continue to strengthen our local economy, but the innovation that comes out of here will have a global impact. Truly the Edge is a very unique opportunity for Tuscaloosa, for UA and the Chamber to join forces. And I think it's through this spirit of collaboration with help for local businessmen and women who we are seeing the young dreams of entrepreneurs being able to come true and we're excited about that. I see today as breaking down barriers and partnership, breaking down barriers in the term of entrepreneurship. I certainly believe that that barrier has to be brought down if we're going to as a city elevate into the future. When we begin to break down barriers, when we begin to trust each other, when we begin to believe in something greater than ourself together, there's nothing that can stop us.
