So I'm going to replace it with an artificial tree that looks just like this And I'll also add an iPhone charger in there in case I ever want to charge my phone right here Zed's modern mansion has super high wooden ceilings and Florida ceiling glass that opens everything up to the canyon views outside The glass walls throughout help take advantage of the minimalist design and give the place an open and airy vibe Automated smart home technology throughout allows you to control the entire home super easily There are three steps leading into the main living area Which is also covered with glass doors and there's a fireplace in this room that runs the width of the space This state-of-the-art chef's kitchen has four ovens two built-in smokeless grills Designer appliances cabinets made of imported woods and a custom built-in porcelain dining table If that's not enough the kitchen also has features like a built-in vacuum under the cabinets to suck up crumbs Aside from the eating area in the kitchen that has a large dining room right next to it perfect to entertain or for more formal Arrangements the main floor also offers more common areas like one with some built-in shelving and a family room That's built over the hill and surrounded by glass giving it a floating effect next to the dining areas That has a whole movie theater and the housekeepers bed and bath. So this is a The gallery the art gallery the person who built the house Is a big fan of art and he was playing with the thought of maybe even having some moving art pieces here I love the ceilings here because it gives you a lot of space for art. It's Really tall much of his furniture came from his previous home and he bought some pieces from the staging company He said although his home is really contemporary. He values warmth explaining I have friends who have ultra-modern homes the only thing you can imagine is having a party there You can't imagine just laying on the couch Do you think that managed to make his house both modern and welcoming by the Sun filled gallery area He showed in his tour. There's also a large glass staircase that leads to the upper level of the home And a small Zen garden at the bottom of the steps, which adds some greenery probably the largest stairs ever and I think they made him so it's a little bit more comfortable to walk or run upstairs if it's urgent upstairs You'll find said luxury master suite the spacious bedroom offers panoramic views of the canyon as well as two Fireplaces one inside and one outside on his private balcony, which is big enough to entertain Zed had his bed custom made to his preferred proportions and had black outlines installed since he hates getting in a bed And needs darkness to sleep said gave the sitting room outside his master suite a geometric theme his friendly artist Thank you X painted these colorful cubes for him Zed said I love geometric shapes. I love the color That's what really gives me emotions the glass heavy spa style on sweet bathroom comes with a soaking tub a glass enclosed shower and dual vanities So this is the bathroom. It's really everything I've ever wanted in a bathroom I think it's perfect. It feels really nice. The view is nice. I love the lighting fixture so far I've only used the bathtub once because I feel like when you buy a house with the bathtub like this You have to use it so I did and I'm good now now. I'm back to the show that also has two deluxe walking closets meant to be his and hers but lucky for him he has them both himself One of them is fully dedicated to his crazy sneaker collection. Lots of shoes that I haven't even opened yet I like shoes. I Guess you can tell these are the only rooms on the upper level the rest are on the main level as well as three Downstairs bedrooms and baths the patio and pool are accessible from the ground floor bedrooms and from living areas of the house Other features of Zed's modern mansion include his fancy Skittles machine and even a Costco room This room is one of my favorite rooms in the house. I call it the Costco room and the goal for me was to Stack everything up with anything I could ever use so I eventually don't have to leave the house I guess that came in pretty handy for quarantine There's also a private guest suite with his own entrance as well as a home gym Which said clearly likes to take advantage of according to his Instagram despite the fact that this modern mansion was clearly designed for Entertaining a housewarming party of about 40 people was about as big as it got for the DJ Zed values his privacy and much prefers opening up his Zen home to friends for poker nights and pool parties But he's apparently only spent about two days alone in this expansive house since moving in moving to the outdoor area as mansion There's a large rooftop terrace above the family room a space to play ping-pong or sunbathing if you just want to relax There's also a stone fireplace for a nighttime hangout. The grounds have picture perfect landscaping a built-in barbecue and outdoor kitchen Dining areas fire pits and a four-car garage not to mention There's a stunning infinity pool and spa that Zed always keeps at 97 degrees The hot tub is in the pool and you can't really see it when the overflow is on and then when you turn it over to jacuzzi mode then the water level just lowers slightly and then the jacuzzi stands out now There were also some add-ons that wanted to make to his home even though I don't think there's anything this mansion doesn't have he said the garage area be a full music studio and had plans for Something like a guest complex or larger guest house and bowling alley on the property So I guess we'll have to wait and see either way said the modern man She's like a work of art that offers the feel of a luxury resort and plenty of space to Roman entertain Not to mention an indoor outdoor feel and panoramic views of the city and Canyon wherever you find yourself in the home So now we've taken a look at the Hollywood DJ and producers said and his modern masterpiece of a mansion in the Benedict Canyon area Valet place did cost him 16 million dollars, but it really seems to have everything one could ever need what did you guys like best about the place the Costco room the art gallery there's so much to choose from I think I loved all the glass walls and doors in the open spaces because it lets In so much natural light and just looks fancy I also the water features like the front door moe as well as the gorgeous infinity pullout back now Get the hell out of here because I have a fitting starting in two minutes before I wrap this video up I'll read a few comments from past house tours These are all from the recent one we did on Ari under grande's brand new mansion Nicole subula rose carry your house tours are wonderful, and I've watched almost all of them Thank you so much for letting us have a peek at these homes Can you do a house tour of Kelly Clarkson?

Online quizzes are everywhere, but I wonder if we as teachers are currently neglecting critical thinking skills and replace for memory skills. So emerging research, click the link in this video, delves into the balance between critical thinking and memory retention in students. And I wonder if we're becoming a little bit skewed with the online quizzes, we're losing the critical thinking approach. Students excel at memory retention, but often lag behind in critical thinking, which we know is crucial for academic success. So I wonder, how can we as teachers make a significant impact by designing in-class assignments, assessments, activities that challenge critical thinking whilst also harnessing memory skills? So our quizzes are developing memory skills. How do we develop critical thinking? This dual approach perhaps enhances students' adaptability and problem solving abilities. Now remember, don't set problem solving tasks to develop problem solving expertise. So some questions. How do your assessments measure memory, the quizzes, but also critical thinking? And are you providing opportunities for your students to problem solve and could a focus on critical thinking boost academic performance? Well, the research is conclusive. So think about resources, think about your current curriculum approach. How could you develop a more balanced cognitive skill set? Balancing critical thinking and memory is vital, but improving that critical thinking enhances academic performance. And that's a win for your students and a big win for your school.


Hi and welcome to the session. I am Deepika here. Let's discuss the question. In the following situation, does the list of numbers involved make an arithmetic progression and why? The amount of money in the account every year when Rs. 10,000 is deposited at compounding trust at 8% per annum. Let's start the solution. We know that an arithmetic progression is a list of numbers in which each term is obtained by adding a fixed number to the preceding term except for the first term. And also amount for annum is given by an is equal to P into 1 plus r over 100 raised to power n, where P is the principal, r is the rate of interest. So we will find the terms according to the given situation and we will see whether they form an arithmetic progression or not. Let's start the solution using the key idea. Solution. Here P is given to us through P is 10,000, r is given to us is equal to 8%. Therefore, amount for first year is equal to that is 10,001 plus r that is 8 upon 100 raised to power 1 which is equal to 2000 into 108 over 100. Again, amount for second year is equal to 10,000 into 1 plus 8 over 100 raised to power 2. Similarly, amount for third year is equal to 10,000 into 1 plus 8 over 100 raised to power 3. Therefore, we have the terms as follows 1 plus 8 over 100, 10,000, 1 plus 8 over 100 raised to power 2 which was the amount for the second year and next is 10,000, 1 plus 8 over 100 raised to power 3 and so on. Now we see that sum is not obtained by the number of preceding terms. Therefore, it does not form an AP. So for the above situation is no, the above situation does not form an AP and amounts are 10,001 plus 8 over 100 raised to power 2, 10,001 plus 8 over 100 raised to power 3. The question is clear to you, buy and have a nice day.


As the 2023 elections edge closer, political parties remain indecisive on the zoning of presidential tickets and former Governor of the United States, Shagorni, joins the Social Democratic Party, SDP, to contest in the upcoming governorship elections. Well, this is PlusPolitics, I am Mary Anacorn. One of the most controversial issues in Nigeria today is that of the zoning of the presidency ticket. Now, political stakeholders seem to be divided over this issue, as some want the political parties to zone the presidential ticket to the south, and others say otherwise. For instance, recently, former Vice President Attiku Abubakar faulted the call of the People's Democratic Party to zone its presidential ticket to a particular region of the country, saying that the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria does not recognize it. On contrary, presidential aspirants of the party Sam Ohabouma stated that Nigeria is not yet ripe to jettison the zoning system. What's running us to discuss this is Ahmad Buhari, his former presidential candidate of the Sustainable National Party, and is also a United Nations Ambassador. Thank you so much for joining us. Hi, thank you. Good evening. It's good to be here. Great. Of course, the continued conversation about zoning seems to be on the lips of every single person. But then I'd like to start by asking you, what's your stand on the issue of zoning? As many have shut it down, saying that this time around we're looking more at the personalities and what they bring to the table as opposed to the sentiments of zoning. Good evening viewers. It's good to be here on Plus TV. This is what I think and I'm always very straightforward. I think we are still young democracy, and we are also a very complex space. And the problem is that many times when we look at all of these situations, we are quick to just a scatter fact that we are in a multi-ethnic, multi-religious setup, which means that most of the decisions that we make are always tied to those indices that define us as a people, as a country, you know, trying to see a democracy or a democratic space that would work for all of us. No doubt in my mind that we have got a set of political zones, and this has been created in such a way that everybody will feel some level of inclusivity, judging from the fact that we have this complexity in our structure. I keep telling everybody, I didn't choose to be in Nigeria, and Nigeria chose me. And so I would have to do whatever I can in my capacity to ensure that we create a space that is going to be habitable, acceptable, and conducive for all of us. It is 2023, and just 10 years ago, we all sat down here and we criticized former President Jonathan and said to him that we had an 80-year tenure that we had to complete as a northern bloc, and we fought hard, and we installed a president who has been there for about seven years about to complete his 80-year. We've had a Southwestern representative, President of the former President, Ulysses Gorbatsangio, who ran the affairs of the country from 1999 to 2007. With our President Jonathan from the South-South, we've had President Bahari from the Northwest. I think it's about time we look at it, if not, the probably the largest, third-largest ethnic group in the country, which are the evils. I think for equity, fairness, and justice, regardless of where I'm from, I would like to see a Southeastern President emerge. I believe it's going to create a lot of calm, it's going to give a lot of people the belief that we are running an entity called Nigeria that every single bloc matters, and the affairs and the concerns of every single bloc matters. The agitations that we see across the country, especially in the Southwest, it's nothing but the fact that they feel like they're not part of Nigeria. That is why every single day people talk about leaving this country or trying to succeed from this country, even though there's no clear plan on how they're going to do it. In my opinion, one of the best ways that we can resolve these kinds of agitations is to allow everybody have an essay on the table. And though we know that there's a minority situation with a number of people from the Southeast, however, they are significant, and I think we must all work together to see that there's an emergence of an equal president, only so that he can be an equal president for the entire Nigeria. So you're not even saying, let's throw it open to the whole of the South. You're specifically saying that you want, or you're supporting, or you are of the opinion that we need a president from the Igbo extraction talking about the Southeast. So you're saying that every other part of the South should stand down for now. Is that what you're saying? You know, at some point in 1999, for some of those who remember the history very well, we had a build-up of agitation from the Southwest. Nadeko was there, there was agitation, there was rejection because Abiola was denied the mandate in 1993, after the 1993 election. And the only way we could quell that problem was to see that we presented a Southwestern man to run the affairs of the country, and President Obasanjo was picked at the time. And if you remember very well, that election had two major candidates. President Olusiek Obasanjo on one side and Professor Lufa Laie on the other side. They were both European men and were allowed it to happen like that because we just wanted somebody to emerge from that region. And what that did was it created some level of calm in the Southwest. Now, I am saying if we have had a Northern and we've had a Southwestern and we've had a South-Southern man, what stops us from supporting a South-Eastern man to do, to emerge? But I've also, every opportunity I've had, I've also talked to every South-Easterner that I meet. I said, look, if you really want the power to come back to the Southeast, if you want the Southeast to produce a President, then the Southeast must unite itself and present to the Nigerian people its best representatives. And then it will be left for the Nigerian people to build or to accept. And so instead of us to just sit down as people groups here and there saying no or saying yes or saying most or saying we will, it must happen. I think it's about time we start going around conversing the length of breadth of this country as equal people to say, this is what we want. Please let us work together to see that it happens. It is politics. There is nothing wrong with negotiating with people. There's nothing wrong with consulting with people. There's nothing wrong with working with people to see how you can build your trust in your mandate so that they can be there for you when you need that. Interestingly, I have had this conversation with members of the Ohanez-Inbibu worldwide. And I remember asking how strong the voices of the people in the Southeast are in terms of what they want and what they're pushing for. And they said, well, that they are consulting across boards. But I want to take you now to political parties, the two major political parties and their position on the issue of zoning. A few days ago, I spoke with the PDP national, Deputy National Publicity Secretary on this program. And he did have a few thoughts on the matter. I'm going to ask that we play that video. So you tell me what you make of it. I was asking about PDP's position on the issue of zoning. And he said that they had not arrived at some sort of conclusion. And that's almost the same thing for the APC. But I'd like for you to take a listen to what he said, and then we'll come back. As opposed to doing that gentleman agreement, we are working hard to ensure that we produce for Nigerians competence, character, capacity, and the ability to salvage them from this despair and hopelessness in the land. So this is why PDP is taking caution and applying a lot of restraint in concluding on the issue of zoning. We have come so far with the zoning formula. Having attained this height and democracy today, our democracy is not nascent, relatively. It has come over 20 years. And we are beginning to appreciate that it is time that we allow the best to come out of the system. What exactly do you think that Mr. Abdullah, he meant there by allowing the best? And of course, he said they were taking caution. Well, I'm glad that he represented the People's Democratic Party. I'm also glad that I'm sure he must have read the constitution. Section 7, part 3 of the PDP constitution, clearly says that there's going to be zoning rotational presidency from the north to the south. It is very clear. Section 7, part 3 of the PDP constitution. So if he's coming today to say what he's saying, obviously, he's just saying it because he's probably having a candidate in mind that is from the north. And because he's from the north and Buhari has just finished about eight years, they're trying to make a justification while another northern answer that there, in my opinion, I strongly believe that we must ensure that we keep the unity of this country paramount in our hearts when we make all of these decisions. Because at the end of the day, our inability to make sure that every part of this country is happy with the unity that exists or the existence that has brought us together by nature of our geopolitical arrangement, then it's important for us to realize that we must learn not to be selfish, we must learn not to be greedy, but most importantly, ensure that every single facet of this entity called Nigeria is put into proper perspective and respected. I still strongly believe that many individuals in the PDP would shy away from that part of the constitution that was written years ago, about 25 years ago, only so that they can actually start seeing how their chosen choice or preferred choice of candidates selfishly will be the passing of choice and it's unfortunate. A lot of people would wonder why you are so interested in pushing for the southeast mostly, or for a southeast ticket or any more presidents when you obviously are not from that extraction. What actually got you so interested in this idea? Is the Niger blood in me? It's absolutely the Niger blood in me. If anybody would ask me, I would easily tell you that I'm in Nigeria before anything else and I believe that even though I am a house by identification as a Nigerian and a house, I think what is most important here is that we are running a multicultural space and the only reason why a family can be united and stay strong together is when there is equity, fairness and justice. Even in your homes, the moment your parents choose one of the children or the other sibling, prefer the other sibling to the other one, you will see some animosity among the children. There will be some jealousy, there will be some rejection, hatred and reluctance and this is exactly what is happening on the bigger picture with the country called Nigeria and it is because a few of us are refusing to stand by truth and stand firmly by it to say, let the right hand be done and the right hand should be done so that we can have a peaceful space. That's the only way we can progress. Okay, we just talked about the PDP. Let's talk about the APC. As at yesterday, the APC is still yet to make up its mind as to where to zone its internal offices. I'm talking about the National Convention. The dates have also been pushed. We were expecting that that convention will happen I think on the 26th of this month but then there's some uncertainty hovering over the APC on that matter but then the most interesting part, the part I wanna look at is the fact that youth in the APC are asking that whoever is going to succeed President Bahari would be aged between 40 and 50 meaning that they're asking for a younger president but in this instance, is age really what we're going for this time being that we have experienced the highs and the lows of the different politicians that have occupied that office. Should that be a major concern in any way? So in 2016, I made a declaration to run for the highest office of the land. I ran for office of the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and one of the things I kept telling people and reminding people even though I was in my late 30s at the time I said to everybody that age is not a function of good leadership. That you are young doesn't necessarily mean you can give good leadership. Similarly, if you're old, it doesn't mean that you can give good leadership. What we're looking for is competence. What we're looking for is track record. What we're looking for is experience. Those are the things that we are putting on the forefront to say, do the people in the Southeast have individuals, have sons and daughters with this credibility? And the answer is yes. And I know that a few of the Southeasterns have put their hearts in the ring to say, I am going to be just there for the office of the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. I would expect that at this time, the Southeasterns would have been excited and rallying around these dear sons to make sure that the entire country sees that these sons of theirs have the capacity and have the capability. I know we have people like audience or Kalu who has declared. I know we have people like Rocha Sepuracha who has declared. There is a serving minister, Chupu Emeka and White. Even though he has not declared, but he has also showed interest. But I think of all of these people, the one person that I think has got through track record in terms of his ability to understand the Nigerian situation is former Senate President, Senator Ayim Hirez Ayim. Now Ayim Hirez Ayim was not just the Senate President who was controlling a whole arm of government which of course is the National Assembly. I think he controlled it very well. I think it was a successful era. It was peaceful. But he's then also served as the Secretary to the Government of the Federation. Now the Secretary of the Government of the Federation doesn't just control the entire civil service. He also tells the affairs of another arm of government which is the Executive.  So in my opinion, I think all of these things are things that we should critically look at and respect the fact that he is an Igbo man. He does have the credibility that is required to run the affairs of our country. You sound more like you're trying to push for the office of the chief campaigner for the former Senate President. If he were to give you the opportunity, would you take it? Well, I would support any South Eastern that has the credibility at this stage. And I have said it very clearly. I have met with a few of them. I have sampled them. And I think I have also listened to most of them give their presentations on TV, on other media platforms to say, this is why it should be me. I think I'm more drawn to his presentations. I think he understands the issues. I think he has, he's though he's an Igbo man, he has lived in the North for a long time and has also lived in the Southwest. We understand the yearnings of the people. And this is not me making the case for former Senate President and former Secretary to the government of the Federation, Senate of Pires and Impires. But I am also saying very critically that before we do not quickly reduce our options to a very few, we may be confused and we're not able to make a proper decision when the time comes. So this is me saying, because South from the South is, who are truly national, national in nature, who understand the situation, who have mingled with the people from the length and breadth of this country. And I think we should keep them in hearing and listening here and support them as we walk towards ensuring that they present to us in Nigeria that would work, not just for the Igbos, but for the entire country. Let's move away from this and talk quickly about young people like you. Interestingly, you told us that you had, you know, run for the office of the president, interesting. But let's talk about youth participation. We're very good at, you know, talking about these things. I told you what? You did tell us, you just told us that you ran for the office of the president and I'm saying that that's an interesting thing. You did not know? Well, we know, I'm just, I'm just retracing what you said. But then I want to talk about youth participation. As much as, you know, we talked about and pushed for the not too young to run bill, which became a law. Let's look at youth participation. A lot of young people are great behind their key parts. But then when it comes to participation, looking at 1999 till now, 2023 is just around the corner, how much have we grown in terms of participation? And I'm not just talking about being parts or members of political parties. I'm talking about, you know, walking the talk, showing up on election days, owning, you know, a voter's card and making sure that we show up and vote. I mean, I always like to use the elections in Lagos state, the recent local government elections. We hardly saw people show up for the elections in the first instance. And then now I'm talking about the elections, general elections proper. Have Nigerian young people showed any interest better than what we had seen in years past? So this is what I think. I think a lot of young people have a match. I think a lot of young people exist in the National Assembly. But in 2019 election after the bill was passed for the North, young to run, a lot of young people threw their hat into the ring and some of them played the politics properly, especially those who played the politics on the big platforms. Now the truth is, with the way the Nigerian system is structured, for now it's still a two-party state. And so for many people who went to the smaller parties, even though they put in a lot of efforts, they didn't have the required structure that would deliver them the offices that they were looking for. So I've been trying to advocate for the participation of young people in the existence, political parties that are strong, talking about the PDP and the APC.  If we go there in our numbers, we can have a say on the table, understand the constitution, understand the gimmicks and you play smarter than these people. If you look at all of these older people, everybody on the table working with them to ensure that they succeed are all young people. So in my opinion, if you look at, if you also look at the existing political class, most of them got into politics when in their early 30s, Senator Pires Aimee, for example, became a senator at the age of 37. By 39, he was a Senate president. So you can see that he was quite a young man. And this is exactly how I want us to think as young people, believing that yes, if we go into that space, we would actually defeat those people. Arrangements really produce a good leader because, you know, you seem to be of the opinion that we cannot jettison the zoning arrangement for now. And that means that you're in support of what Senator Ohabunwa had said earlier on about the fact that we haven't come of age to just throw it in the wind and say, well, let's just pick any leader as opposed to what's happening in other parts of the world. But can it bring anything? Go ahead. Yes, can I just chip in something there? There is politics, yeah, and it's across the world. Different democracies for different countries, for different people and how they understand it. And people are quick to use the models that are working in different countries to use as a comparison with what is happening in Nigeria. This is Nigeria, we are complex. In my opinion, there is no country in the world that is like ours. And this is exactly the mindset that we must have when we're trying to execute political practices because we must look at our complexities and ensure that the decisions we are making would encompass the generality of the people, not for a selected few. We do know also that even if we're going to get to the zoning arrangement, we can get to seeing it after every zone possibly present its own candidate. And maybe at that time, the Nigerian people would now say, oh, it doesn't even matter. After all, when a house man was there, I didn't see the kind of development that I wanted. When Yoruba man was there, I say Yoruba man, I didn't feel it. When an Yoruba man got there, I actually didn't feel it as a people man. And then at that point, you would say, whoever has the best presentation, whoever has the best track record, the best experience, we are going to cue behind him. And that is exactly what I want us to do, not changing the goal post in the middle of the game. We can't change the goal post in the middle of the game and say we are being fair, it's being unfair. Let's talk about the electorate, which is very important. Have we learned anything, whether it be from 2015 to now, or whether it be beyond 2015, do you think the average Nigerian voter has learned? Have we, are we tired enough so much that we will not make the right choices or be more deliberate in who we choose or who we cast our votes for? Can you say that we have learned? I mean, you might not necessarily know how every Nigerian feels, but you have been in the field. Do you think that we have learned or we have even grown and come of age? Yes, we have learned. Yes, we know. We know the problems. We know that when these politicians come to us and they give us money, we know that when they get to the office, they're not going to deliver because they believe they're giving us what they need to give us to get to office. We know these things. But because that one indicator is still there, which is hunger, hunger is still a factor. A lot of people do not know how to eat square meals. A lot of people cannot buy things on their own. A lot of people do not have regular income. When these politicians visit on election day and they are ready to give them 5,000 era, 10,000 era, or even less, or even a bar of soap in some local government, or even a little, very, very cheap wrapper from the market, they are willing to sell their conscience because they need to fill their bellies first. For most of those people, if you ask them to choose between their heads and their belly, they are going to choose their belly. Out of my head, let me keep my belly first. So does that mean that there's not going to be any surprise come 2023? It's just going to be the same thing. We're just going to take the monies and let it be business as usual because I'm not understanding the fact that we're hungry. I know that the situation of things is really bad. I mean, I'm sure that you also have been dealing with the field queues there in Abuja and everywhere else. But should we have not learned that that money that we're given cannot sustain us in the age of six years or how long the person stays in office? So again, should we continue in this regard and say, well, times are hard, let's take these monies and just, because these people will do whatever they want to do. Do you think that we've had enough vocer education out there? And I'm not just talking about INEC or the NOA, which is almost half-past debt. What about us, the ones in the middle class who should know better? How much information are we putting out there? Okay, so one thing that you said that really struck a chord. One thing you said that really struck a chord is the fact that as a people, we know those things. As a people, we understand the repercautionary effects that these decisions that we make have on us at the end of the day. But these people are actually part of the problem. And that is why, when I get an opportunity to speak, I tell people that, yes, we have a leadership problem, but we also do have a followership problem. And what we get as a people is an exact reflection of the decisions that we have made as a people. The kind of leaders that we get are the kind of leaders that we have by gainful. So we are going to continue with this voters awareness, where civic responsibility, we're going to keep talking to the people. It is a responsibility that we have bestowed upon ourselves to ensure that we do what we must do to make sure that the voters understand the plight that they are in. And that the decisions that they make at every point in time determines the future they're going to have for themselves, their children, and their unborn children. Finally, let's talk about the divisions and the ethnic sentiments that are flying around. I mean, the reason why we have these non-state actors and secessionists, as you made mentioned earlier on in the conversation, do you think that politicians are still going to take advantage of these divisions because they know that these things exist and the lines are yet to be blurred? That that would also be a cat that they'll pull come to the next week. Yes, they want to take advantage of it. We're going to fall for it again. Our religious leaders are going to help support it. Unfortunately, our traditional leaders are going to help support it. Unfortunately, some of them are going to be out of ignorance. Others are going to be because of what they're going to get in their pockets. This situation is worrisome, is disappointing. You know, it calls for a true urgency for the elite class to wake up for stats and start realizing that regardless of all of our differences, whether it be ethnicity, religious, political party, ideological affiliation, gender, hate bracket, that at the end of the day, when those road accidents happen on the road, they do not choose whether you are Igbo or Yoruba or Hausa. Whenever there's corruption and we find out who is responsible for the corruption, we realize that every single person was part of it regardless of their ethnicity or their religious affiliation. So Nigerians must wake up and realize that most of the predicament that we find ourselves, we are actually the architects of those things. We must change our ways. And all of the candidates who've thrown their hats into the ring or those who we're still presuming might be interested because from what you're saying, we need a bridge builder, we need a unifier, someone who would be able to convince every single person that when Nigerians first before we are Igbo, Hausa or Yoruba or wherever. And who could that unifier be? Please don't say if it's a Pair Sayin. Are you asking me who that unifier should be? Yes. Well, I think it's important for us to listen to all of them. It's still a build up towards the campaign season. Most of them are going to produce their manifesto. They're going to tell us their plans. And very clearly, I have listened to some of them. I've listened to a few of them. And the Enterprise I am still takes the box for me for now. I knew you would say it. Sorry, I was not supposed to say that. Well, Ahmed Buhari is former presidential candidate of the Sustainable National Party, SNP, and is also United Nations Ambassador. Thank you so much for speaking with us. We appreciate it. Well, thank you. Well, thank you all for staying with us. We'll take a short break. And when we return, we go to a kitty politics where the state elections and, of course, movements within the PTP had ended up having Governor Shagumoni in the SDP stay with us.


Game one of the World Series and Mookie Betts was a terror on the base paths and the fifth inning is third at bat against glass now he goes one in one that was a change-up 92 mile prior change-up and according to my graphic it was low and outside my graphics very unofficial but some people were probably upset about that call my graphic says ball anyway three one then he goes high with the fastball just walks him lead off walk second time lead off walk Mookie puts the bat in the shin guard like a little hot dog in a bun very clean tidy then he gets a look at glass now's delivery gets the timing right jumps him a little bit gets his lead then he talks to his first base coach says yeah I'm probably gonna steal right here I saw that I liked it so then he's off and it's another change-up low bam not even a throw and Mookie's at second and the double play doesn't exist a little nod there and then he's going to talk to Adamus let him know how much he thinks Adamus should be making soon they give a little hug little contract talk and it'll pay nothing I think they're talking about the tacos right now at second base okay Adamus is like yeah I'd love to make 400 mil but I'm gonna make a mill next year so there you go another walk by glass now and now tallest pitching coach in the league comes out says hey let's check on Mookie at second after I'm done with you why don't you throw a little pick off his way I think we can get him he won't be expecting it and the move is on and a little slight hesitation they had him though loud nose it we had him look at this look at where he is look how far away he is glass now had him a little hesitation maybe if the throws lower Mookie just sneaks in there glass now is pissed about it would have changed the inning pretty good Mookie says okay I see you that was cute I see you and then he takes a lot of your step beside I still know you're there Mookie says I don't care probably just steal third now steals third easily glass now goes hands to the heads like what have I done and now the double plays off that's what Mookie said I thought it was I thought it was important the double play was off we get Corey into scoring position as well much different so now Muncie's up with one out and a fly ball scores a run he hits a ground ball Yandy comes home and Mookie beats that out as well bam bam bam with the fist pumps gotta love it a really good play by Yandy I think I mean that throw is pretty hard to do on the run there um you know the throw brings the Nino up the line a little bit but Mookie's fast I don't know if they're getting them would have had it been perfect Mookie had a good secondary lead then he goes on contact and he's in there last calls him safe because fist pumps bam bam bam bam and then he moved Seager into third base because Seager was just running behind him every step of the way he scores easily on there Muncie goes to third glass now's out of the game not good Mookie just stealing his way around the bases this one's brought to you by DraftKings go to DraftKings download the app bet play the game use code Johnboy have some fun enjoy it Mookie Betz Marcus Lynn Betz MLB 400 million dollars William Domus 1 million not even yet needs to wait to get to the 1 million is that 500k


So, continuing on our idea of being able to reuse code. So far what we've been doing is we've been creating a lot more of what we consider to be control flow. So we first introduced sort of the conditional statement that allows me to kind of take one of two paths down my code and ultimately I'll still have to move forward. And then we started to look at the idea of something like a loop. A loop kind of now says that I make that still same kind of question, but I quit when it's false and I move forward or I repeat myself when it's true. So they just kind of dictated where my program would go next. But one of the things that we can do is we can actually utilize this idea of functions and create code that we can reuse. And that's exactly kind of what we're dealing with is we're looking to be able to create code I can repeatedly use throughout kind of the extent of my programming lifetime. So we start off very similar to what we learned in math class. You remember we have F, that's a terrible F, F of X. And so what we saw when we learned in math was sort of this F, that is what we would call my function name. Because you don't always say F, sometimes you say G, sometimes you say H. In our case, we give it actual names instead of letters. And then that X, well that kind of expands out into a whole slew of what we call parameters. So how do I start to build this up? Well, let's use the example of something known as sum.  And so just to kind of show that as we write it out, the next portion I'm gonna give it is sum. I'm naming my function all of a sudden. And in this case, afterwards, I give it some parameters. And I'll tell you what, since sum is a reserved word, we'll say adding, or adding bit. So now, I have to give it some of those parameters. In my case, I named it I1, I2. Now, those parameters, the way you can think about them is, what they kind of are doing and how I kind of consider them, is I classify them sort of as placeholders. I don't know what I2 and I1 are. And frankly, I don't care. But I'm going to assume that by the time someone uses this function that I'm designing, they're gonna give me what I2 and I1 represent. So I come in, and I'm gonna just say count equals I1 plus I2, that's it. Now, one of the things you're noticing is, here's where things get a little different, if you will, from our traditional kind of code. In most of our statements, we've always been ending with something called print. Oh, print, Cal. Problem is, what print does is print displays something to my screen. And if we're thinking about this from a more kind of future perspective, I might not be touching my code. I might not actually even be a part of the program. I want this to be able to work autonomously without the use of sort of a screen. Many servers, for example, don't have monitors attached to them, they're headless machines. So I don't want my program to kind of print something. Instead, what I want it to do is what we call return of value, return something. In this case, I want it to return. Now, I'm gonna save this, save it to my documents and test.py. Now, when I run this, I'm gonna hit F5, nothing happens. That's not necessarily a bad thing, though. You see, what happens, just like you see here, is my method, my function, has been loaded into memory, it's stored somewhere in memory. And now, what that means is, now I have access to it. I can actually call it how I want. Now, you see I named mine added, and if I open up those parentheses, you can see, oh, it's expecting an I1 and an I2. So if I gave it, say, five comma nine, and close that out, I see I get 14. But this is where it's very beneficial, because, for example, I can come in and change these all except. Maybe I do 50 and 19, 69. I'm now able to kind of control what's, just through parameters. And I'm able to use things like getting input if I would like x equals int, input, enter a number. Enter a number, 25, then I can come in x, 20. So the variable x, that's just a variable. And again, all this information gets passed on, and so you see I can get my 45, regardless of whether it's from literal numbers, user inputs, or just a simple variable.

FKE, the Federation of Kenyan Employers, was represented. In fact it is represented. Faith-based organizations are represented. Nat is represented. Ministry of Public Service is represented. Kenyan Medical Association is represented. And the Ministry of Health is represented. So my question is very simple. Where were these people who are telling us they were not consulted? We had someone in KOTU in that board meeting. But now again Kenyan should be very keen about their representation. Do we have weak representatives for Kenyans in the NHIF? Because when you are talking about stakeholders and the stakeholders that KOTU has sent there, faith-based organizations have sent there, is doing nothing in that board, then those representatives should just be sent packing. Then I think in such a representation a question would be what their voices had. Maybe KOTU is saying we were not consulted because they raised an issue that was not addressed or they were ignored. Let them show us board minutes that KOTU representative refused to sign. Because these decisions are signed by a certain quorum. Let FKE come today and tell us this was our dissenting voice. But as long as they do not have that, Kenyan wanafa wajwe wako pekeyao and that is the truth of the matter. So people in Nairobi who go to Nairobi Hospital, who go to Agakan Hospital and MPSHA using their employers, in fact KOTU's money, workers' money to pay for a private scheme are telling us now that they were not consulted. Consulted by who? They were there. So anybody who says he was not consulted it is from KOTU, FKE, faith-based, not Minister of Public Service or Minister of Health should show us, should nowadays we screenshot. Let them screenshot. I don't want to say who's way. Let them screenshot. They are dissenting voice in those minutes. Alright, in the next one and a half minutes maybe you could give us your recommendations and what you feel is the way forward about this whole thing. Should Kenyans go for it? Who is our saviour and what should be done? Well, Kenyans here they are between a rock and a hard stone. The regulations have already been made public and unless the National Assembly saves us we don't have any other saviour. If you refuse to pay as a Kenyan you are already defaulting and when you will be paying KOTU will come again and say we were not consulted. So the National Assembly should pick those particular circular, I'm happy the health committee has said also they were not consulted or the discussion was not taken to them for approval. Let them get those regulations and work on them advice on the best way possible. Kenyans should not be ignorant because here now we are talking about expectant mothers if you don't register your pregnancy and pick your card within the first three months you won't enjoy those services. So Kenyans also should be very vigilant and be very keen on what NHIF is doing and everybody is doing. But as we speak we may find ourselves being bound by these regulations unless the National Assembly especially the health committee in parliament saves us. Alright, many thanks for coming and sharing your opinion in regards to this NHIF circular that was released. Hopefully the National Assembly saves the Kenyans and if you're back home you've had kamaoja skiai maneno especially our expectant ladies and mothers it's time you be cautious because actually you need to be aware of these things because they say ignorance has no difference. Many thanks for keeping us company back home it has been my guest Jomogira an economist. Coming up next is Waimashariki, DJ Teska and Ken Relbis will be here for you. I'll be seeing you again soon. Have yourself a very good night. My name is Dereva Hilewi. Goodbye.


First question of the day, this is the darkest lipstick color I've ever worn. That's sure if I can pull it off, you let me know. Secondly, today we're gonna be reviewing all of the mobility devices I have ever used from wheelchairs, to knee scooters, to the eye walk, which I am currently using. I'm gonna show you how I use them, which ones I use, which ones I don't, which ones I'm just not good at, how they work for me, and then let me know which ones work for you, which ones you like, if you've ever used any of them, if you have any other suggestions. But I wanted to kinda give you guys a general overview and explain why I use what I use, and just kinda show them to you, because I know a lot of people have a lot of questions, so let's dive in. Okay, guys, let's start with what I'm using right now. This is the Eye Walk 2.0. It's basically like a hands-free crutch. Also, please note the fact that all of my clothing choices down to my socks are gray. It's snowy here in Colorado today, and whenever it snows, I just feel like, like I have to be covered in gray. It's such a cozy color. So this works super well. Only issue that I have is that it hurts my anti-intangitive limb. So I think this is part of the healing process still, and I'm working on some of your guys' suggestions to get better padding in there right now. This works wonderfully for hands-free moving about, which is awesome. It takes a couple seconds to put on a couple seconds to get off. It's pretty simple to use. So so far, I am a big fan of it. I can even walk backwards with that. Let's move on to option two. This is my mom's knee scooter. Thankfully it has brakes, so you don't crash into things. Not gonna lie, it's also kind of fun because you can kind of go fast, but do not do that when you're recovering from an injury. But because I have, like I said, I live in a tri-level home, which means there's like a half set of stairs and another half set of stairs, and I have to go up and down them often because my kitchen's here, and I live in the stair, and the bedrooms are upstairs. So I never use this, literally at all. It's also heavy. It's fairly simple to like break down. As I tried to bring it up the stairs, even for this video, this is what it looked like. It was just really difficult to transport for me. So if you have someone helping you all the time, maybe that would work. I've just honestly, this is the first time I've used it since surgery. If you're gonna be out in public a lot, and again, you have someone to help you take it in and out of the car, definitely a great, great thing to use, and I would definitely recommend it. I also had this cute basket that is currently broken. I'm sure I did something to it at some point to use to store things in. That brings us to option three. A wheelchair. A lot of amputees use this right after surgery, and I can understand why. It's super safe. There are some cheaper options. I believe this one, we actually got it from a family member, but I believe this one was actually found at Walgreens for under like 200 bucks. It's really light. It's easy to transport. Brian brought me around in it a lot after surgery because I could not crutch long distances. One issue with this one in particular is there are no wheels that I can use to like wheel myself, but that's okay. Similar issue with this one to the knee scooter. It is difficult to transport if I were to try to move around myself without a leg. But secondly, my doorways are not wide enough for wheelchairs. Some houses are gonna have this issue. If I was trying to get from the couch to the bathroom recovering from surgery, it just would never happen. And we would run into issues because I could not wheel myself even with a normal wheelchair through the doors that we have. My bathroom isn't wide enough for a wheelchair to turn around and to get major issues. So a wheelchair is an option. A lot of people use it recovering from major, major surgery. If recovering from an amputation, it's really common. I just didn't get a chance to use one unless I was going on public for extended periods of time with someone to push me because of my situation. So this was great to have. I probably used it a grand total of like under 10 times. I was nice to have around. I just don't really use it at all. Option four, or arm crutches. So I actually received these in the mail. From Amazon like two days ago. I have been a professional on actual crutches for 14 years. I am not good on these. And so I am trying to like get used to them, get better at them. Because I've heard that they're a lot better for the alignment of your body, for your shoulders, for everything. But I feel really unstable on them. I want to use them when I go to Ireland in conjunction maybe with the IWOC if I get it comfortable in time. After those of you guys don't know I'm traveling overseas for a couple of weeks. This is what I look like walking on them. If anyone is really good on forearm crutches, let me know what I'm doing wrong. But if you don't know what a forearm crutches is basically. Excuse the tags just cause I'm not sure I'm going to keep them or return them yet. But you've got this part to put your hand on. And with forearm crutches, you're always going to have something that kind of comes around and holds your forearm. Allow me to demonstrate. So as you can see, I can definitely move around on them. I also feel like I'm going to definitely fall over. I don't know if you can see like the shaking in my wrists. A lot of people who are on crutches long-term or don't have the option of a prosthesis but aren't in a wheelchair will use forearm crutches long-term. That's definitely what I've observed. So I know that they are safe. I know that you can get used to them. I just know that I am not good at them just yet. Do you use forearm crutches and how did you get good at them? And last but not least, we have my trusty beautiful normal crutches. They are literally just that, just normal crutches. I did add these pads to them. I've never actually done this before with any previous surgery. I don't know why, but I got these pads on Amazon. I'll put the link below and I'll put the link to any of these items in the description down below. These pads worked wonders. They saved my underarms from getting bad rashes. They saved my hands from hurting so bad when walking for the past four months on crutches. I'm also out of breath from all that demonstration. You can make them fun colors to match your hair too, which is handy.  Out of those five options, my top two favorite are definitely normal crutches, probably just because I've literally been on and off them for 14 years, so I'm super familiar with them. I'm comfortable on them. They're normal. I know them. And the eye walk, which I'm definitely getting used to. I'm modifying. I want to get to a point where it's not uncomfortable. That is legitimately just because of the injury that I have. I think otherwise it would be perfect. The other ones are really great options and depending on your situation would be fantastic. Like this, for instance, I think would be great if you lived in a one level house that didn't have any major obstacles. I think a wheelchair works really great, especially right after surgery, though you do want to make sure that you focus on keeping yourself mobile in other ways and working with a physical therapist to make sure that you're doing exercises that are approved for recovering from surgery to keep yourself active. And forearm crutches are like this mystery to me. I feel like I'd be a great candidate for them. I feel like I should be good on them, but I also feel like I do not feel safe on them. So I may try to practice a little bit more, but I have a feeling I will be returning them unless I can find a way to make them work. Hey, Sadie, are you helping? You come to help with the video. Do you see her down there? Oh God. I have the worst aim. Yes! All right guys, that is it for me with my top five mobility assistance devices and some of my favorites. So let me know what you use. Let me know if I missed any that you think would be super effective or helpful, but those are ones that I use, that I have access to and that I like. So I'm gonna catch my breath from that, not a lot of activity, but I am still getting used to being up at about even four months after surgery and being a new amputee. So I'm gonna recover. You guys have a wonderful rest of your day and I look forward to seeing you guys in the next video. Bye guys. I am the most mobile. This totally works. This works really well actually. Tell me, how in the process of using four mobility devices, all at once, have they become less mobile? That makes no sense. I know everyone's gonna yell at me and I realize this is slightly dangerous, but also, it's gonna be okay. Probably. We're done with this game, guys. I just have a feeling that was about to end poorly for me. So, bonus round, pass.
