Big smile on your face. Yeah, you raise your hand first. So you're first With your name. I'm Kelly Kelly nice to meet you. Great heard you on the radio a lot So yeah, that could be two chicken to call in and now I'm gonna expose myself here excellent All right. Yeah, I've been told that there's there isn't a microphone. I don't like so I've been on the radio bit So, okay. Tell me your what problem would you like co-cook my work employment? Okay. Tell me more, okay? Tell me more how brief that is gets it out. She clearly was she said, okay, you could tell when she said, okay Good, she was saying good. I get a chance to talk Little brief interjections like that can really help. I also noticed she took a deep breath and she sighed So she's a little nervous even though I was talking to you. I had one ear listening to her So I said, okay, I got to make sure that I keep her calm. So she's gonna be at her best Go ahead. Okay. Well thoroughly confused right now not working Looking I've got a very diverse background and I find my challenges that I've sampled so many different fields and careers and I Mean from firefighting to auctioneer mental health and sales and marketing etc Yeah, so, you know, I joke and I say well, gee, it's hard to decide what to do when you're so good at stuff But notice I said everything I didn't interrupt her. I was like a passing comment of a scent. So it's a verbal way of nodding Okay. Yeah, everything I paraphrased everything. She said in one word Right without but I said it softly so she didn't feel like I was stopping her at all Little subtle techniques. You don't need to use all these. I'm just pointing them out as I use them They're not critical, but it's an opportunity. They always they catch them in the moment These are learning moments in case you might grab on it. Please go ahead Okay, so where do I start? It's just a matter of how my my greatest challenge now being mid 40s Is what now I don't you know I've been in the hospitality industry most recently because of the flexibility that allows me and it's well suited for my Personality and skill set and gives the free time and flexibility better pay than the 12 $15 an hour jobs That you can't live on here in San Francisco So but now what because in 20 years from now, I don't want to be waiting tables. My feet already hurt You know, there's no pension. There's no retirement and I look at my brother who's got the you know Government way has been doing the same thing 20 years retirement family, etc. I'm single No, I'm married not kid So I'm free to come and go as I please although I like my little 200 square foot apartment in San Francisco And so I I keep this I love the city, but it's a challenge and a struggle to live here So it's great living in a big city like this. There's you know Craigslist gig surf lots of jobs you can just get but That's great, and I've had the three or four jobs at a time and that's stressful But I do what I got to do, but I'm really looking for The clarity how to decide, you know when you're good at lots of different stuff And I've sampled this and all my friends and family are like well here try this and everyone has an opinion What you think you should do and I'm like great. Thanks, and I don't want them to feel like I'm not listening Thank you. No, there isn't any 80,000 a year nanny jobs, you know if you find me one I'll take it but that's not what they pay and you know great counter service sling and coffee Of course if you're good at it, but I did that when I was in college and and so so now what so Right now it's really hard because I think for me once I make a decision the doing is easy It's just deciding I always feel like okay once I choose this then it's you know Got me on that trajectory down that way, but what about all these other things and is that gonna allow me to? You know so it's hard making the decision one I need the money now, and then I also want to be thinking about long term, so I'm Yeah, I don't know you're taking on now the the the natural thing that people tend to do they reflect They say oh that must be really difficult Da-da-da and it makes person feel good, but I don't feel that in the end that feels Technique and it doesn't feel legitimate So I'm not gonna even waste a moment on that she saw I was engaged and I was nodding and it and so whatever empathy I had was demonstrated without my having said a word So I'm not gonna do that for what I'm gonna do is the following I'm gonna I'm gonna try a for I'm gonna ask a question I'm going to say and I believe in giving one of the great little techniques is giving two choices So that they don't have you're narrow.  That's what I was listening Through one of your network connections because there's many things you could do well Is it going to be something you can get into somebody or is it not going to be from somebody, you know I have no idea I I really I don't know. I know a lot of people Although I've not embraced social networking. That's my bad. That's on my new year's resolution I know but it is a matter of I think if I had tapped into that I would probably be busier than I knew what to do with But I don't know. Um, I've had random things out of the blue come And then People have also who you know has gotten me indoors too. So I don't know the answer to the question No, I'm now in this case because I am going to give her a little bit of practical advice That is more advice giving but Social I believe that social networking for jobs is way overrated Because the nature of the relationship you have on linkedin or in facebook or whatever is way for thin You said that you've had people in the past give you leads That's normally when you're a generalist and you've done all kinds of things But you're smart and cable can do a lot a lot of things Normally it is through your connections. So if I asked you to be systematic about it and make a list of everybody You know, they don't who likes you and simply say I'm scared being vulnerable I'm I'm looking for some I you know, I can be I've done a lot of things from being an auctioneer to to hospitality Um, but I'm looking for something more stable or not on my feet all day That usually utilizes my social skills and my brain and my nurturing personality because I gather because you really want to be an Annie, you know, uh, do you know somebody I should talk with? Do you think if you trusted the goddess within yourself? Do you think that would work for you or not work for you? I think a recommendation from somebody I know of who to talk to yeah, and I've definitely used that before and And that can help. It's just getting down to Okay, so what direction do you want to ask for what you and if I I'm at Sometimes There's a term called false precision You don't know exactly what you're looking for And you're open to many if I if one of your friends referred you to a company that did Or I'm making something absurd That decorated that painted painted libraries And they needed somebody who was going to sell sell that service to libraries And they were going to pay you an amount of money that was going to be sustainable Might you say yes I would explore that right even though you never would have thought about in a million years So you don't need to have something specific to ask you can be relevant. You can't say I'm open to anything I'm desperate. That's too broad But if you say something like I'm known for both people skills ability to learn quickly And nurturance and I'm wondering if you know somebody I should talk with That leaves the door open for them to think of any of a wide range of people they know Now back to the the co-coaching so if I'm saying that to you Trusting the goddess within you does that feel like pie in the sky bullshit? Or does that feel like something you'd like to actually try? It feels like it's going to open up more cans of worms, you know that somebody else is going to oh well here Why don't you try this and here? Why don't you try that and I feel like there's just more suggestions on the plate to consider Oh, and and that's bad you're saying. Well, I'm already more. I don't know that I could handle any more options And it's like I I've got lots of choice. It's something. I don't know. I don't know I want to make sure I've heard you well What you really want in the end is a 60 to 80 thousand dollar job that's stable and rewarding And right now it's just ideas you have But if somebody tells you about somebody you run who's looking for a salesperson in this painting thing and they can introduce you That's not expanding. That's giving you a very specific lead that could lead to an actual job Right So is that opening a can of worms or is that closing? I suppose not. Yeah, that is more of a specific Direction or one door instead of welcome to them all right and so I don't I'd like to continue our I don't feel that's enough. So it's great. I'd like you to make a You know with your permission How do you feel about making a list of 10 or 20 people you know?  Like asking 10 people to give me their suggestions of when I give them a person of somebody you might talk with Okay Yeah Sure, that's a piece of the proposal. Let's look at something else You've done many things, but if there was a goddess and the goddess were to say You had a gift or two that you're naturally very good at or very skilled at that pays What would the goddess say that potentially you do you know? Yeah, there's a lot of things I'm good at and I've made money doing so I'm torn Okay, why don't you list the three that See I'm always trying I'm trying to narrow her in without closing her off. I'm sorry. This is great Tell me three things that you know you can do well. Let's start with that. Okay keeping it small let's say Design customer service sales, okay, there's three. So let's let's look at those When I when you say the word design does that feel realistic? Yeah, because I'm very passionate about the arts and have been you know involved in the community and started a flower design business Which you know, we didn't even bring into this conversation because your intuition tell you there's enough money in that Or should that be a hobby? It's feeling more like a hobby although it could potentially grow into you know, that's why I started a business thinking I like to be my own boss for sure But it's going to take time to to grow to that. So right now our arts are a passion I mean, I've volunteered a lot but a nonprofit I've got a lot of experience in that and I'd really like to Move it toward a profitable in my my finance. So I'm not eliminating working for arts organizations I'm still would love to be involved in the community It could be professional But I'm borderline hobby So I'm listening to you and I'm seeing a person with a very engaging personality And with an interest in the arts Worried a little bit about how viable it was but you also mentioned sales Had you ever sales is fundraising had you ever thought about being a fundraiser for an arts organization? I've done that Yes, how did that work for you? Good at it. However with the change of the economy back in 2008 there was definitely a shift I did a lot of corporate sponsorship and and nonprofits Arts organizations are not Most of my work experience has been nonprofits and there's been a shift Toward, you know shelter food Safety is you know giving points. I mean the arts is very much the affluent You know in a luxury item and there's a lot of money still in that direction Um begging for money. I kind of lost my taste for it And I also thought there was good job security in fundraising There's not there's not I mean grant writing. I found more. I mean because events was more my specialty I'm a great event planner and you know fundraiser in that capacity as far as you know even just a direct ask But it does come down to the So give me your money, you know, and yeah, I'm good at it, but I don't know I took a step out of that I wanted to So does the goddess within notice I interrupt a little bit. She was that's fine. Fine. I was interrupted She had reached the I know she was running out and rather than let her struggle. I did interrupt So with the goddess within you and I like giving choices Well, so with the goddess within you tell you you should be work for that arts nonprofit as a grant writer as a event Put her on her or as a picture a direct picture of money I like the events events come are a lot of fun And with the goddess within you tell you you should work in In event planning for an arts nonprofit and focus on getting that or bs You said sales some other kind of a sales position I would rather do the the events definitely my passion's there So if we said that in addition there's going to be two prongs to your Job search one is going to be you're going to make a list of 10 people You know tell them that while you're very interested in in doing event planning for a nonprofit You're also open to anything that's going to pay decently that's going to involve Potentially sales design and whatever the third one was Sure, thanks Thanks for listening. No customer service is a dead end bad Right lowest satisfaction is terrible pay and and worst in customer satisfaction because you're always dealing with people with problems But I'm so good at that. You know, I wish it paid better. Great. So you so you're pushing back Do you would you like to be involved in customer as a customer service manager? Yeah, if it well Yeah, sure if it the pay was right, would you rather be a customer service manager or or an event planner for a nonprofit? One is a desk job a lot more on the phone one is more out and about I like the events I it's it's you glowed I again now there's another technique I watch her face a face is a light bulb And it can light up all the way or part way She lighted up at the event planning for the nonprofits arts preferable But I could see her still enjoying doing it if it wasn't arts absolutely Long as the check clears that wasn't technique as long as the weather check clear, right? No, but I was watching her like a hawk. That's part of what being a good listener is Listener is not just to the words. It's to the face. It's to all of it Okay So if we said that the two prongs are you're going to make a list of 10 people who like you Say that you're open to any anything your first choice would be some kind of an event planner for a nonprofit Especially an art one But you're also open to something that relates to sales Nurture and design etc And the second thing is you're going to make a list of nonprofits that you really believe in Then maybe you're not the biggest ones because it's going to be hard to get a job at a famous one But some nonprofits that you believe in and speak to their director of development about a job Trust the goddess within you. How does that feel as a plan? It feels like an option. Let's be silent for 15 seconds get in touch with how you're feeling really deep down What's feeling yucky good and fuzzy? That's the other way I've word that what feels good yucky or fuzzy There's a way of focusing their Feeling and thinking 15 seconds silence starts now What are you feeling? I'm feeling like I Tried that The nonprofit just because of the experience I had and what I've noticed with the trends of the industry And if I could bring in, you know, my hospitality with partner that with the events I give to the arts organizations my time. I volunteered. I do flowers pro bono yada yada, but That's why I'm thinking of you know merging into the restaurant With events because I've got the hospitality how they always have private dining That feels more like the angle I should go I feel like I've beaten down a lot of nonprofit doors and I have worked for some Major ones and that's why I'm finding across the board. I don't know if I want to go back to nonprofit I love the cause. I've always done cause marketing and I'll continue to be involved and volunteer, but I want to make some money. I'm tired of being broke So what I'm hearing you say is you'd like to go to Hotels or whatever that do events and be in charge of their event planning. Is that what I'm hearing possibly I'm considering that because it's a it's a site specific. It's a it's already established people need to eat people need to have parties So is the plan and it's not begging for money So is it a fair summary of the plan that you're going to contact those 10 people, you know Ask them if they know somebody in that industry as well as Other things that would utilize your event planning experience to what extent does that feel right and wrong that feels better I like where this direction is going asking people for How exactly do I ask those 10 people? What am I asking them to say? I'm looking You know for to return back to some of my best strengths I'm an event planner by nature And I'm particularly interested in working for a hotel or resort or whatever in helping them as being an events manager But I'm also open to Um anything, you know an interesting job in sales or potentially in customer service managing Or that it brings in my aesthetic might you know somebody I should talk with How again, how does that feel to you as if we if I vaporize another technique I use to put myself out of the equation If I vaporized I don't exist. I'm on planet Pluto. That's exactly what I say What what would you feel good about the plan? Would you implement that plan something a variation of the plan? What would what would Kelly do? I I will take steps in that direction I will make a list of I think potential co-coaches Some people in my life friends or family that can listen objectively without just oh, you should should should should You know, and I don't know if I can come up with 10 or 20 that can really engage this way But maybe five That would be some solid connections, but I think I do have you know 10 or 20 that might have some recommendation of Contacts and career people potentially and that's why I thought the linkedin thing, you know the social media The only challenge like well, I'm not even public because it's been how do I Put who and what my background is about looking like gee you've sampled every job there is out there, so but that's my Albatross I Linkedin is really meant to help employers find people And somebody with a background that's varied is going to end up looking it's like it's like very person with no clothes It lays everything bare right and I and I I try to I leave things out. I'm like, I just not sure how to but that's a whole I would use your existing network of people does that makes how does that feel? Is that I feel like a relief or does that feel yucky? Well, I haven't embraced my I mean I have like two friends on facebook, but I have a lot of friends Right, I just those are the ones I want you those that's who's going to more likely help you land a good job Your real friends not your bs facebook or linkedin friends Okay, how are you really feeling right now? Like I'm hiking up that hill, you know, I got work to do it's it's So say I want you to summarize again. What are you what are you really going to do that's going to feel good to you? What am I going to do in light of in light of our co-coaching session? What are you going to what's your to-do your very specific baby baby step to-do list? My baby step to-do list is to get a list of people and ask them if they know anyone that I could talk to in Events at a hotel a restaurant even a nonprofit or some kind of customer service aficionado position Was that it that was that was basically what I'm yeah, and it's it's an action step It's an action step instead of just I mean at least through this conversation has helped You know pinpoint, you know two or three options instead of the 30 I was looking at when I came in, you know So okay


Following the protracted blackout in the country, a federal lawmaker Hon. Ben Ibakwa is calling for urgent intervention by the BEDC. Hon. Ibakwa further blamed the Benin electricity distribution company for abdicating its responsibility, adding that its compelling individuals and communities to bear the cost of fixing damaged cables, poles and other accessories when they are damaged. The House ruled that for the past seven years, major parts of the 80-point cycle government area of Delta City, particularly in Mosulga, and Aegean communities have been in total blackout, as is the result of total failure by the Benin electricity distribution company to destroy their duties in distribution of electricity to the affected areas. Aware that BEDC promptly collected bills from customers, or whenever there are technical issues or faults requiring the attention to fix the assets such as transformers, cable poles, EDC under their management and all control, the company abandons or abdicate such responsibility by compelling the customers to fix such faults or provide money to purchase it. Further aware that efforts by recurring transformers stepped down from the BEDC since 2015, they no yielded fruit. In 2016, the BEDC, in one of their memos to the community, as a condition to bring a step down transformer that could service the increased demand of electricity in the community due to expansion, requested the community to pay all our standard debt which amounted over 12 million naira. However, despite the problem thereof, the BEDC brought a standard transformer, a substandard transformer with low capacity to the community and barely after two days of installation, the transformer gone off. Similarly, in 2018, the State Government brought another step down transformer and this was reluctantly and improperly installed by the BEDC and immediately got damaged. Conscious that the community approach the Delta State Government again, sometime in 2020, and two units of 2.5 KVA transformer were provided for Mosuga and were divided into substations. As a result of the time the project was completed, the BEDC refused to energize the step down but demanded for the connection fees of 10 million naira. This bonus was paid by the community but shortly after the BEDC installed the transformer, it crashed again.

The floor may not be a robot. Do you really think the original bad guys movie could get any worse? If you said yes, then you're right. Rumors say that there's an existing scene that didn't make it to the bad guys, due to it being scary for sensitive children and adults. I was also one of them who saw it, like with the original bad guys movie I mentioned earlier. I was just chilling in my house watching some random TV shows on the TV that came from the 90s. A few moments later, the door opened by itself, and a package was thrown into the back of my head, causing myself to slam to the ground, but luckily, I wasn't injured or anything like that. The package was very heavy, so I decided to open it with a knife. When I peeked in the package, I realized that a note was on it, along with a DVD disc. I even remember what the note looked like. It was obviously very short and lazy, but I didn't really care about it anyway. The note said the following. Dear Michael, I wanted to give you something very special, just to make you happy. Hope you like it. Jason, aka, your boss at Dreamworks Animation. I then threw the note in the trash, and I decided to grab the DVD, which said, the bad guys, alternate ending. Five seconds later, I put the DVD into the DVD player, and let it play on the TV. The DVD began with static for about 10 seconds, before cutting to a scene from the said movie, where Mr. Wolf and Diane Fox-Sainton steal the golden dolphin. But when Mr. Wolf tries to get it, just like in the original movie, he gets electrocuted, along with Diane Fox-Sainton, who was trying to stop Mr. Wolf from touching the golden dolphin. It then cut to Mr. Wolf and Diane Fox-Sainton being tied up, as the former said that it was a trap. After he said that, I could hear cuddles say the usual dialogue. Well, well, well. If it isn't my prized people. And you brought along the governor. Or should I say, the Kremz and Paul? Oh, and I forgot to mention that it was entirely animated in Cinema 4D, as if someone decided to download a 3D animation software onto their computer. The rest of the scene played as normal, but once Mr. Snake told cuddles to finish Wolf and Diane, the camera cut to the spiky circle shake saws, but they were somehow covered in blood, as a distorted laugh track played in the background, possibly from Mr. Snake or Professor Marmalade, but I might be wrong. Both Mr. Wolf and Diane screamed in agony, as they were lowered down to get killed by the spiky circle shake saws. I was expecting Mr. Wolf's friends, Mr. Shark, Mr. Piranha and Mrs. Tarantula, to save both Mr. Wolf and Diane, but they never showed up. When they got the lowest, the screen cut to black, as blood splatter sound effects came throughout the background, along with the blood curdling screams of Mr. Wolf and Diane Fox-Sainton. It lasted for about 20 seconds, until it finally stopped. A few seconds passed by, until some text faded onto the screen saying, the end. It lasted for about what seemed like two hours, which was kind of boring to be exact, until the DVD ended. The DVD then ejected out of the DVD player by itself, and I decided to report it to the police. Oh yeah, and it turns out that my boss made the alternate ending, along with the original bad guys movie, that he showed me back when I worked at DreamWorks Animation. I even had nightmares about being killed by the spiky circle shake saws that cuddles and Mr. Snake had. So I must inform you not to view this DVD at any circumstances, or else you'll again, end up like me.


Hello, hello everyone welcome, which to this workshop Which looks like a family gathering But thank you for being here today. I invite you to come a little bit closer because we have those lights Shining in our eyes and we can see your face better if you move to the first or second row. So we don't bite Today we have a workshop and our intention is to make work press more sustainable today and That's quite a challenge So I will speed up First of all, let me introduce ourselves to you Nora Ferrero's She is living in Barcelona and she is UX and UI developer and she started this fire But she will explain about it later on and then we have now by Badiola He comes from Spain as well and he's a wordpress developer and very into sustainability and He learns a lot and he's eager to share it with with the community and Me, Thijs Buijs Living in Utrecht Netherlands and I'm the owner of Yellow Lime, which is an Digital marketing office digital marketing agency in the Netherlands We have set out a roadmap for today and first of all we would like to talk a little bit about the importance of sustainability and Then we will introduce our story about how it all started And Then we would like to brainstorm together with you how we can make wordpress more sustainable today But we will give an introduction later on And in the end we will have a short wrap-up of what we've discussed with each other what we've learned and so on Okay, so I will do some quick contests to understand why it's important to focus in Sustainability in this case in digital sustainability, but we will broaden the the scope of the conversation So if internet would be a country it would be the fifth one in times in Regarding the energy that is needed and this is going to get worse because it's going to be fourth in 2022 2025 this is just under US China and India, so it's really Taking a lot of energy so yeah to put it in context also is more than what the Ironautical and also the shipping industry industries taking so Just to say that is quite a lot And indeed right now is about 2% that looks like it's not that much But here is is if you compare it and the thing that is going to That is more important is that is going to get a bit worse. It's going to go higher till 14% by 2040 so we should do something to tackle this and not this Okay, and one of the problems that we have is that is creating so much co2 because of This just 20 around 28% of the energy. We are using today is renewable Energy the rest is mainly fossil fuels So this is one of the things we should also focus when we talk about it and just to give you a number of how much How many grams of co2 are liberating when you are Browsing in in one website. It would be around 1.2 and 3.6 grams and When you add up when you add up everything Yeah, so if you take a website that has 100 page views per month, it's going to take like bit most of two tones of co2 every year and That's pretty much the the same co2 is going to take you as an individual doing things so yeah, it has a lot of impact, let's say and Let's go for the more interesting and funny part. That is how we started and I leave you with Nora Hello, thank you for being here. So why we are here how it all started why we decide to make this workshop So come on This is me myself. Okay, if you have been in work in work and portal last year You may know this story, you know, I will going to tell it briefly. So this was the moment. I was Yeah, it's not my best picture But it's the best picture I have for of this moment. So it's okay for me So I was in the queue and I Moment in the session yourself ahead and I'm at more than had at the end of the work and we have Some similar session At the end of the day. So if you want you can make any question you want and maybe Things may happen kind of may happen. Yeah, so I basically make a question because someone Rothia Bolivia told me to do so and In this moment, I wasn't involved in sustainability as I am now So I didn't have the idea at the moment. So I went to Nagwai and I asked him Okay, now why I have a problem I say yes to make a question in front of so many people in front of Yosepa heaven and I'm living what I do Help me so we decided to ask them about sustainability in WordPress as an official way. I mean I Asked if Whirlpool central WordPress in an official way. We're thinking to make something about sustainability and the point was I asked them Literally to make a team if they were thinking about making an official team or a select channel For example, so they say, okay, if you want on a select channel You have it and they created the channel in that moment It was really impressive. So in this same moment people Began to join the channel and so so one year later you we already are 200 people In the channel or more. I don't know because is a yes many more now. So yeah So basically we have spent this whole year Trying to figure out how to make Sustainable work is more sustainable If you have not joined the channel, it's a good moment to To do it. So with we with this workshop. We want to keep Continue answering this this question We want you to help us To answer that what can't we do to make work is sustainable today for continuing the the work we are Making we have been making this year. So Actually, this is part of the story Because about two weeks ago We published a proposal on make WordPress.org saying that We were ready for creating a official team an official sustainability team And we have outlined already what we've done so far. We also outlined a few pillars We would like to focus on And this proposal was submitted and a lot of people have given positive feedback and ask questions about Things we we think about and how we look at certain things and During this conference here in Athens, we had to contribute today. We had a table there as well and At a certain moment, maybe it's better that you tell Nora you are Yeah, I have this wonderful picture and I also have a moment that I left the Table there's a table and just if I hadn't has appeared so I was out because I was bothering at the moment, but My colleagues took the way with her he here. She gave us the green light for for the the team A nice nice deal you're saying because you you started to fire Nora So what's important to stress is that sustainability is quite quite broad in relation to WordPress it's also brought in relation to open source and We have a few pillars to focus on and one thing is that we Would like to to improve the way we gather as a community To see how we can gather more sustainably And what we've done so far is we're writing a document and get a lot of feedback from previous organizers of world camps But also local meetups to see how we can improve and learn from best practices The camps and the meetups we organize in a more sustainable way So that's one one of the things we focus on the second thing is that we said that WordPress needs to be leading on sustainability WordPress is having his 20th anniversary and WordPress is leading. It's the the motor. It's the engine under 40% of the websites which are currently live So that's enormous enormous amount So we're present enormous impact and as a community SSCMS it should become leading on sustainability It's not only the great work that has been done by the performance team already But it's also once you install WordPress score You and start you install a team Maybe you install page builders Maybe you install plugins Maybe you add photos videos, etc. And then well the fire gets started That needs a lot of power to to produce every page load and we should create awareness amongst the users of purpose Developers but also those persons who just start the block about their favorite pet or the favorite animal We should create awareness amongst those people as well That's the second part and the third part is based on the longevity of WordPress. It's social Because it's open source and we have a lot of contributors. How can we engage people to contribute in the coming years? Because we are celebrating our 20th anniversary and we want to celebrate also the 25th And maybe the 40th anniversary of WordPress. So what's needed? I seen from a social perspective to make WordPress sustainable and Fort is the financial the economical part There's a lot of talks about the funding of All the work that's been done by contributors and you want to have continuity in the development of WordPress So that's something that's important as well to stress So we are looking if we speak about the sustainability of WordPress. We have four items to work on Well today, we would like with this Nice group of people in front of me and together with us We would like to brainstorm about those things that come up in your mind that we can put on our roadmap As a team because we are now a formal team an official team to work on in the coming Coming months coming maybe coming years even to go and there We put three three topics on this on these slides first is about the the knowledge about digital sustainability. We are aware of What's going on with regards to your mission and? We would like to share your ideas on this topic Then it's about the way we collaborate and work together and how we meet as a community and Then the third topic. It's about building an CMS that leads on sustainability So what I invite you to do We have this handout over here and I invite you We would like to have a moment of brainstorming together For those three topics and brainstorming means that we work silently and discuss afterwards it looks like Work to do but It's a workshop Yeah, but the idea is since we are few people and nice people here We can keep it casual. So don't be afraid to write down your craziest idea or the funniest one So the idea is just to play and share ideas on these topics We just choose three of them to keep it simple if you have a brilliant idea of some other one you can just Share it as well. So it's just to keep it a bit of a structure but Yeah, feel free Also, if you have any questions, please please feel free to to ask Yeah, is that yeah in a broader sense possible? Yeah, it can be not just how because I mean We can make okay a workshop or a talk. It can be also who we can Talk with or how we can talk with the people because I personally think it's The most Bigger problem we have how we talk with people about sustainability or what we say to people and if you Feel we are making things in a way that can be improved. For example, do you can think about it? how Who and also you have an idea about another? Format so spreading the word could be You know Also, if you know about existing platforms or media that's already doing it, maybe we don't know about it So we're very eager to hear about it Yeah, if you personally feel you you don't find anything sometimes I feel I don't know I don't find something that Would be good to to do Would be great or even a question about I don't know how to do it But I am thinking about about how can we do blah or blah could be also be a good point to to share Hello world I Don't know how many kilobytes are probably not a lot but Yeah, but a lot of active installations and updating things. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, so if someone feels brave enough to Pitch it to math later, you're free to feel free to do it Really, but you you never know What could happen later? You also have ever made something that we didn't talk ever about So we think it would be a great example to you You need more paper we have but first use the back because we are sustainable people animals It's really impressive to see you right We thought that we were going to Yeah, we didn't mention it. I think some of you already feel the name the name is Absolutely optional. We just want to gather the ideas if you feel comfortable putting your adding your username of work is perfect Yeah, the thing is we are thinking we are going to make a summary put in the channel Maybe make a post so if you want us to to name you after your ideas Please put the name because we will like to but if you don't feel comfortable Putting your name. It's okay too.  If not, we have just 20 minutes left One more minute if you want that we will begin Yeah, we will begin with the first one Well first topic So then we were going through the next one just in case if you have the first topic here We can Start with it So yeah, if anyone feels like breaking the ice With one idea Ramon is going I'm going for you then then you can pass the mic if you want so it's recorded Okay, so The first question knowledge about digital sustainability What I've written down is a link to wordpress.tv with a brief explanation Brief not a long one In the default WP dashboard. So when you open up WordPress, then there's a link about sustainability a meta box Which goes to WordPress TV with some short Animation Telling you about digital sustainability For media for instance, that's interesting One task we are we want to do is to put under the same tag the sustainability Videos that are already but that could be a good addition to have more also more Yeah, to be more reachable. Yeah, good. I think behind you my idea is Pretty much the same but it involves removing the hella dolly, which I will not repeat again and replacing it With this similar plug-in that will given a notification to the user Once he enters but it will not come again because we all know the thing that too many notifications in WordPress, you know Which will not find them about the sustainability and what he can do to make this Go away for to make this Oh my god, I forgot to speak English. I'm sorry No worries. No nobody here. I think it's native English. So Actually, that's about it small to replace the your make another one like hella dolly Which is small and glowing notify the users about These concerns Well, I had about the same idea, but another solution Maybe it's possible to include something like energy uses of see what they use in the site Diagnose that's that's a part of your regular Control and then some something says that this site uses This money grams of That that part is one that is already ongoing stories are really good idea. Yeah Yeah, we have now three plugins that Do similar stuff? We are deciding which one keep and how to make the language as simple and accessible as possible to Someone that arrives and pops up that information. They really get it and maybe with some link to More info, but yeah, really good Anyone can one teacher So one aspect that I Don't think you've talked about but it's just the amount of CO2 and kind of other resources that are used in The servers that are running WordPress so as opposed to the energy you is used on every page load I feel like there's a lot of It's so easy to spin up a big kind of server to host your tiny WordPress site, which Doesn't it doesn't make right. These are just super simple sites, but they're running on super powerful servers I think there's so much wastage happening there. I don't know how you can It's not as easy to put a metric on that that's in a plug-in but I think raising awareness about that is important because you know like We that will have to go on to shared hosting platforms But that model is a much better use of Resources and so I'm not saying everyone has to do that, but maybe this Are the ways in which you can kind of use server resources more efficiently Then you focus on the difference between managed and private hosting Yeah, so yeah, I spoke. Yeah, so I guess most of the you know if you honor if you honor a big WordPress hosting platform I'm presumed they're doing a lot of Optimization just for economic reasons, but for people that are hosting yes, I suppose I don't actually know It'd be I'd be interested to know Let's say the amount of resources that are wasted there compared to the amount of resources that are wasted on each page load I don't know You know because maybe I don't know if it's maybe is it if it's not if that's insignificant in comparison Then in terms of what you would prioritize. I Guess I'm saying it'd be good to know Which has the biggest impact in order to prioritize it, but I don't know Yeah so I Probably not allowed to say a lot here, but I'll say what I think I can We are very cognizant at WP engine about the complete difference in scale between what we call the farm our customers the computation and resources spent on serving our customers WordPress sites versus What we call the control plan which is what we use to administer and run that infrastructure and Obviously, I mean we have Hundreds of thousands of sites hosted and That completely dwarfs anything that we're looking at and I mean we look at it from a financial perspective, you know the dollar cost of customer hosting versus the dollar cost of the Metta stuff I suppose the the control plan stuff But I mean it's a conversation that we have Whenever we put out a new feature how much is this gonna cost and for a large in general cost correlates very well with Sustainability like as the you know the cheaper it is the less compute resources the less memory resources the less storage We're using less data transfer So I mean it is definitely a conversation I can I cannot imagine that other hosting companies are not having the same conversations Yes, I guess I'm just kind of thinking about those people that are like Okay, you know, I want to spin up my own VPS and it's kind of you know, because somehow there's a Kind of people don't want to be on shared hosting often They want you know their own kind of it feels like I need this is an important website I need my own server here for actually that's so waste is so wasteful to do that Love the conversation, but we would like to try to arrive to the three topics but really good point and we keep it in mind and Shall we move? I don't know if someone has a strong idea for the first one, but maybe if not, we could yeah Okay, go for it Yeah, actually, I noted down like the thing what you were both asking about But I think the very first step we could do and I would love to have like more transparency About where all of the files of the current WordPress repository are stored and how you know Sustainable is this Storage and if we can change that yeah, because if we are the community responsible for that I understand You know automatic as a corporate entity. They do have their own policy But you know as a wordpress.org I think we could have more impact on like, okay Let's choose a better service provider to you know have this co2 input decreased Good point. Thanks. Of course Really good point. Shall we yeah, you have one on the Maybe I'm the only person in the room But I really don't feel and don't believe that my small wordpress website is so important in terms of sustainability So I think as a sustainability team You have a lot of job to do to bring this to every website owner to realize that They don't know that matters Because even if the presentation in the beginning I feel okay charged the GPT is using a lot of power and other AWS and others what you want with my very small blocks or leave it alone So I think if you really want to Bring this topic to every WordPress member. There is a lot of a lot to do So everyone can understand that it's important and even the small piece really matters. Thank you Yeah, thank you so much to this Yeah, shall we yeah, let's me let's move to the collaborator and get it in Sustainability, what do you think about that? For example, I would suggest that we creating work power central when we have the overview of the work comes This will be displayed the distance we are traveling and if you are traveling by car or train or plane How much you to you are consuming going to that work on from your location that could also raise a bit of awareness Yeah, it's it's a very good point because we Many times we don't think about this and it's I think we should ask the sponsors for their help So we don't have so much waste and so much plastic and paper things given that at the end when we arrive home the most of them usually End up in the trash. So perhaps we can ask all the sponsors to move to a Rethink the the swag and the gift to to all the attorneys in a more sustainable way Yeah, great. Thank you as a designer I I I'm looking forward to sponsor to be really creative because I know they need to Ask to remember them bad Maybe in other ways I am looking for them for creating things and looking But they already yes, so thank you. What do you think now this one other way we can? collaborate in and gave it in or What do you think about these topics if you have any because sometimes I think We are asking a sponsor, but maybe people Sometimes once you receive things I don't know if it's our idea about not having many things, but Maybe attendees want to Yeah, I think that in general there needs to be a standard for each meet-up So for example, maybe there should be a criteria or whatever And the event is being organized what has to be done like you know that is a standard And that has to be met when the hosts are chosen for example, so every At every meet-up you would have The same treatment of the garbage of this and that so for example now I I can see that we are not splitting the garbage like you know, this is Burnable, this is not burnable. Maybe there is something to be done on that front too Yeah Yeah As a meet-up organizers It will be great to have a handbook We are working in a handbook for making suggestion for people who don't know what to do for Improving sustainability in their events have ideas But we have we also have to understand it's very difficult sometimes to to have these things like the one you have to say that's a organizer It's just difficult just for having a very new so Yeah, we were working in having some guys so you can have the ideas but without telling people you must Do things because we know it's difficult We are planning to add does that and stress it because in one of them There were three different beans, but it was not publicized enough and the people was not aware of it. So yeah I love I totally agree with you there But I just want to point out that I think that this is really a case of where perfect is the enemy of done or good But like I think that that that the as an example the bins thing matters a lot less for word camp Dublin with a hundred people Whereas word camp you with however many thousand we have here those things matter a lot more. It is an issue of scale And I think also Unfortunately a lot of that is going to come down to the local cooperation like for example if you're having word camp Cape Town Cape Town doesn't have recycling at all, you know, the country doesn't recycle But again, what kept word cam Cape Town would be maybe 200 people tops So maybe I mean I'm all for a handbook I love the idea of sort of like minimum standards, but they can be minimum standards for a small medium large gathering We could do something like that By the way the document if you don't know about it is linked in in our slack channel We in our weekly meeting we talk about it. So it's easy to find okay If you join is going to be easy to collaborate. It's open to everybody to collaborate Maybe I have a remark maybe a question, but I think this topic is very broad and before you know what you're talking about rescue in the planet I was wondering in your question you say digital sustainability In my mind it said let's talk about the wordpress product itself But we're also talking in this very relevant about organizing this this type of events Which I think also should include about sustainability sustainability If that's your focus is this focus of this group to also think about organized events like this Just about the digital sustainability That maybe and I was wondering about that and I wrote it down Maybe it's good to have some kind of definition What what are we talking about? Maybe it's already in your Proposal, I don't know, but I think that's important to to align. What are we talking about? You're right about it. And that's also about creating awareness. It's also about creating awareness about what the team does And we have now the make dot wordpress.org slash sustainability There's a first post and there's also a short definition about The efforts of our team and the topics we will work on. It's not only the Sustainability of the CMS itself, but certainly it's also about baby work and gather and then we have the social and economical parts so it is indeed quite a lot of Content and context to handle. Yeah We are aware of that. Yeah, then I think the framing digital sustainability was already putting my head the wrong way Indeed the idea is of this and the yesterday, you know that the Thursday Contributor day is like everybody's welcome So sustainability is so broad that we can really welcome a lot of people Working in a different areas because there are a lot of things you can do so and for now We are open to to yet to explore every ways. So yeah Good point So on that one more thing. I'm part of the green committee at wp engine And precisely We have had exactly the same discussion and the same We have problems that we might run into here and I think it's important to discuss the sustainability of our group as well And that is I think it's very important that we try hard and fast To get a critical mass of people because if it's uh, I mean uh, they spent the point earlier It's like a family gathering. It can't stay that way. We have to get more people involved And I think that should be the focus to start Because otherwise it's just the same people over and over again Yeah, exactly and and It's great that someone cares, but it's not great that it's the same people over and over again We need to get um, and those people don't have to be heavily involved, but we need to generate the interest Yeah, and and the uh, uh, working you know future Uh talk panel they were talking about a bubble We are we as war press a community are a bubble and we are people interested in sustainability A bubble in a bubble. So I was totally agree with you. It's a point I have thinking about after this panel and yeah We have to think about Yeah, we have like three minutes left.  I I have a small one. Um This year's Drupal con is in lil which is in france on the top And they advertise heavily on their homepage that they're super reachable via train Why not also? Advertise on new wordcams as well The reachability via public transport good point Simply good point and what are you understood from the the panel discussion which was organized this morning is that actually the call from uh, the current, uh, uh, global leads or the lead the lead that organized this wordcamp Edition It's all about uh people joining forces say well our town is the best place to host a future world camp so We call on those people which are Which live in a town easy accessible via public transport and railroad To submit Their town to become a future host of wordcamp Europe Any other crazy ideas? Oh and I have to mute Final call for our select channel. If you have not joined, please join Um, there's a link on make wordpress make dot wordpress.org slash sustainability. There's a link. We gather every friday Um, and you're invited to join Uh, we would be pleased to the coming week weeks. We will discuss but will be put on our roadmap So you can influence what's on our roadmap Thank you so much for being here today. Thank you so much and uh, do enjoy Athens and board game


But then again it goes to self and personal development and it goes back to what you were saying about if you do not have the funds make a way Yeah, make a way you start businesses whatever the case maybe you know We all have our own little hassles I like to call it on the side that can help you get that thousand rand And it's you know on your thousand rand Really it all boils down to what is your strategy and then how the property that you found and how much do you actually need Because you might find that the bank is willing to finance 100% you just need transfer and penetration cost Which on a 200,000 and property might not even be that much So if there's four of you guys maybe it's 20,000 rand or it's 15,000 rand Right, it's not it's not prohibitive and I mentioned earlier that you must have when your investor You must have a different lanes around which property you would live in and which one would work as an investment Because you may find that as a start a little bachelor in the CBD can be your start Exactly you learn the ropes and then you move on to the next one and then you move on to bigger deals And I think with property stock focus will be three four five a group of you If you as a group can come to an agreement on why we're doing this, you know It's great if you would join a property stock plan and we all have the same why exactly and then we figure out How to go for the level of commitment right same level of commitment very important I want to talk about leadership and woman in empowering You yourself you empowering the woman in the property sector And I'd like to talk about how are you using your current skills to empower more women? I know you said you started a Facebook group But so how else are you empowering women to join you on your mission to invest in property? Okay, so I do have that Facebook group that I've mentioned which is specifically for women in property And then I'm also a property coach and mentors So I do help other women who want to invest in property not just women but primarily women So that's one of the ways that I do that and I've also mentioned Traditionally stock fells are mostly for women. Well, I used a woman So so so I also have a property stock fell and most of our members out say a 60 to 70% are actually women So now I'm having women who are coming in and getting introduced into property through the stock fall model And I'm fine what I'm finding now is some of them come in through the stock fell and then they understand How property works because we share so much knowledge around this is the property of buying this is how we're buying it These are the numbers This is how we're going to add value to it xx etc. So they're getting and so now they're saying wow I want to do this too, you know So this is a way that they coming in at a lower price point and they're getting access to a knowledge and Basically of how to actually become a property investor and so they then actually becoming interested in becoming Investors themselves becoming the producers exactly not the consumer exactly might just name the show that Be the producer not the consumer. I like that So ceiling delistal on the topic of woman and woman empowerment Thank you for watching subscribe. Click the like button. Thank you


Iconic images of the 20th century on display at the Scottish Parliament. The free exhibition of the work of the Scottish photographer Harry Benson includes defining moments in America's social, political and cultural history. Spanning 50 years, his work includes the Beatles arriving in the United States, the Civil Rights Movement, the assassination of Bobby Kennedy and every president since Dwight D Eisenhower. An exhibition of Harry Benson's world-famous photographs is open today at the Scottish Parliament. It's absolutely free. Come out of the rain, have a cup of coffee and see this wonderful exhibition from a man who left Scotland, left Glasgow decades ago and comes back to show us his world-famous photographs. Now, it's great to have my pictures in Parliament. This is the heart of Scotland. This is just to be here. It's hard to beat the Beatles and the presidents and the Civil Rights. I would never have dreamt of it. It's more than an honour. The only thing I hope that they're good enough. Harry Benson, seeing America, will be on display at the Parliament from Friday the 12th of August until Saturday the 3rd of December. Tickets are still available for Harry Benson Conversation at the Festival of Politics on Saturday the 13th of August at 6 o'clock.


What is up everybody this is Chris from the Rewired Soul where we talk about the problem but focus on the solution and if you're new to my channel my channel is all about mental health so if you're like me trying to improve your mental and emotional well-being make sure you subscribe and ring that notification bell and real quick if you missed yesterday's video I did a video on the nine major differences between the depressed brain and the average brain so make sure you go check that out that'll be linked up in the info card as well as in the end screen all right so before we get started on answering the question are you addicted to depression am I addicted to depression are other people addicted to depression I want to make very clear I am not a therapist I am not a psychologist but you know who is this guy now the prefrontal cortex that youngest part of our brain from an evolutionary perspective it understands on an intellectual level that we shouldn't smoke and it tries its hardest to help us change our behavior to help us stop smoking to help us stop eating that second that third that fourth cookie we call this cognitive control we're using cognition to control our behavior all right that is dr. Judson Brewer I just finished uh reading his book the craving mind for a second time absolutely love that book I'll link it down in the description phenomenal book just just go just go get it all right like everybody's like like into like books like habits and stuff like there's this book that is just like a best-seller the power of habit I think this book is a thousand times better doesn't get nearly enough love anyways in his book he uh cites some research and I just learned about this study about people who are addicted to depression and my brain just went so we're gonna be asking and hopefully answering the question are we addicted to depression and trust me baby I know all about addiction so those of you who don't know me I'm a recovering drug addict and alcoholic but a lot of us have addictive behaviors um we're gonna be diving into addictive thoughts right but we often don't recognize it so let's start let's start with the basic definition of addiction okay just get the the words drugs and alcohol out of your mind just the basic definition of addiction it's a continued use or action despite negative consequences all right so we might be addicted to something if we keep doing it even though it's negatively affecting our lives all right lock that in we're gonna circle back to it towards the end of this video so first let's talk about rumination real quick all right so rumination a lot of us struggle with rumination a lot of my rumination baby girl I ruminate like nobody's business I remember a car ride home from California and at least two or three hours of that four hour drive I had the same thought just over and over and over and over and over and over again like on average did you know we have about 70 to 80 thousand thoughts all right and I think uh it's about 90 percent of them are about the same thing like isn't that crazy all right but anyways they found that rumination is often linked to depression so although depressed people may not like their depressive thoughts and the rumination behind them there is a possibility that we are addicted to them okay so we're going to be looking at this research study that's titled sad as a matter of choice emotion regulation goals in depression so let's read the abstract real quick research on deficits in emotion regulation has devoted considerable attention to emotion regulation strategies we propose that deficits in emotion regulation may also be related to emotion regulation goals we tested this possibility by assessing the direction in which depressed people chose to regulate their emotions i.e towards happiness or towards sadness in three studies clinically depressed participants were more likely than non-depressed participants to use emotion regulation strategies in a direction that was likely to maintain or increase their level of sadness this pattern was found when using regulation strategies of situation selection studies one and two and cognitive reappraisal study three the findings demonstrate that maladaptive emotion regulation may be linked not only to the means people use to regulate their emotions but also to the ends towards which those means are directed so basically they got two groups of people depressed people non-depressed people and they showed them a set of happy sad or neutral pictures okay then they gave them the choice to see that picture again or a blank screen all right and then after that they rated their moves so what they found across the board uh between depressed and non-depressed people is happy images made people happier sad images made people sadder no surprise there now what they also found was depressed people decided to look at the happy images again as much as the non-depressed people but here's the kicker depressed people chose to look at the sad pictures more often than the non-depressed people okay they wanted to look at the sad pictures so scientists in order to confirm a study and its results what they'll do is they'll run it over and over and over again and sometimes what they'll do with those results they're like hold on let's let's try hitting this from a different angle and see if we get the same results so they ran the exact same study but instead of pictures they use audio clips right or um sound bites from pieces of music happy music sad music do you want to listen to it again or do you not want to listen to it again boom same thing happened depressed people wanted to listen to the sad music again all right now here was the most fascinating part to me okay the third time they ran this study they gave people different coping skills all right that would either help decrease their sadness or increase their sadness all right so think about it as being handed one of two options here's a healthy coping skill here's an unhealthy one and what they found is nuts they found that depressed people were more likely to use the unhealthy coping skills that they already knew beforehand would make them feel worse now to the average person a lot of this makes absolutely no sense but if you're like me and you've struggled with depression like this makes a ton of sense right like we do these things like how many times when we're sad do we listen to a bunch of sad music how many times do we watch sad movies when we're feeling down right like they're making us feel worse and it makes sense to us and one of the reasons why they think that might be is because it's comfortable all right it's like the perfect fitting glove or piece of clothing like we know it fits we know what our depression feels like and we know that we can sit in it right so again remember the definition of addiction continuing an action despite negative consequences all right so we continue to do unhealthy things or ruminate on unhealthy thoughts or listen to music or watch sad tv shows or movies right we continue to do those things even though those make us feel worse if you ask me that seems to tick a few boxes on the old addiction checklist so one of the major problems is that for a lot of us our depression becomes part of our identity right we have this fixed mindset of this is me i am a depressed person something that has helped me and what a lot of different forms of therapy do is it helps you realize that your depression is it's a feeling it's an emotion right and even though you might have different um balances with your brain chemistry we identify so closely to it that it's hard to let it go for some of us if we're being honest with ourselves if we stopped being depressed who are we right so that might be part of why we're addicted to it like just to give a great example of like my addiction like one of the reasons i was afraid to get sober was if i'm not the drunk party guy who am i right so without even realizing it we might be holding ourselves back and latching on to unhealthy coping skills right and for some of us when we say oh therapy didn't work or this or that right well maybe maybe it's because we're choosing not to do the healthy coping skills because we're addicted to our depression all right so the first step towards solving any problem is recognizing that there is a problem all right so hopefully now that we have some clarity about this situation we can stop being so damn addicted to our depression and start getting into that solution all right but anyways that's all i got for this video if you like this video please give it a thumbs up if you're new make sure you subscribe and ring that notification bell and don't forget check out the last

and the Lieutenant Governor from North Carolina, if you could help me understand, was the 13th, 14th, and 15th amendments to the United States Constitution passed and moved by Republicans or Democrats? Right, and was the movement to, be my picture microphone on, sir, was the move- That would be Republicans. Was the move for the 64 Civil Rights Act and 65 Voter Rights Act led heavily by Republicans or Democrats? That would be Republicans. And so as we sit here today, and as we're being accused by many of our colleagues on the other side of the aisle, of wanting to somehow perpetuate the Jim Crow South, when in fact, what we're trying to do is perpetuate laws that you can believe in that you've so eloquently discussed, do you see any merit in that whatsoever? Absolutely not. And just, can I have a moment just to add something? You know, when you talk about that history, that history is clear. Who stood on which side? At every turn in history. It is clear. It's not even in dispute. And it's not in dispute now. What we want is integrity. We don't want power. We want integrity. We want the right thing to be done. We want to encourage citizens to be responsible. We want to have the best election system in the world. In the world. Third-world countries, places like India where the poverty rate is staggering, they have to show that finger when they go vote. It's time that we modernize our election system in this country and stop playing all these silly games based on race.  And yes, I said it, to push your agenda. I'm sick of it. It happened a long time ago in this country and I'm tired of it. Chairman, I would ask that the witness answer the question. It's time as expired. Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman. I just have a unanimous consent request to insert something in the record. Unanimous consent to insert something in the record. It's a consent request. You've already said that we could enter that in the record, you said it in your opening, Mr. Chairman. What changed? So we're not gonna insert stuff in the record? So Republicans can't enter anything in the record, I'm just in clarification. So the chairman doesn't want us to be able to insert stuff in the record? Maybe in a few minutes, but not right now. Oh, okay, because when I had my time closing, I didn't wanna insert it at the time inserted when I spoke. Mr. Johnson, we're gonna go in proper order. You're recognized for five minutes. Well, this is a great way to run a hearing. Impressive. For all. I think Mr. Johnson's video is frozen. Ms. Garcia, can you hear me? I guess you can't. Can you hear me? Yes, I can. You're recognized for five minutes. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.


What's good YouTube? It's your boy Chi world back at y'all again with another tutorial And before we get started I want to say if you haven't already subscribed to the channel go ahead and do that now make sure you hit post Notification so you will be notified every time I upload some more heat in today's video I will be showing you guys my method of shading how I learn how to shade Let's jump right into it first thing you want to do man. You want to download a lot of pictures and Really study it study how the light hits and how the shade React to where the light hitting it so on this picture I can just tell that the light is coming here from the top because the shadow is underneath him As you can see like it's under his eyebrows Under his nose like just look at just look at regular pictures and study it Okay, he got a strong shadow under his eyebrow on his nose nose on his lips on his chin and just And just go through On this two-part picture It's strongly hitting from the right side and the light is heavily coming from the left See this heavy shadow right here like so After you study all the pictures that you do you download it and you just figure out how The light in the shadow is reacting to the light When you working on your picture try to try to imagine the same thing like Decide where you want the light what direction you want the light to hit and make sure the shadow is on the opposite side So if the light is hitting from the top the shadow gonna be underneath if it's hitting from the bottom You know the shadow will be up top if it's if it's hitting from the left If it's in from the left side shadow will be on the right at the light hitting from the right side The shadow be hitting on the left let's see Okay, the light is hitting strongly on the left side So the shadow is hitting even stronger on the right side and the farther you go away from the light You will have more shadow See and the shadow kind of give it a depth of feel like a 3d dimension It let you it lets you know what shape you're dealing with like without shadow and shading This picture will be flat. It'll just it'll just be line work But when it have the different shades in the tone it shapes the figure so See this red rose picture Shadow coming strongly from the left side light is hitting from the center It's kind of some shade some shadow on the right strongly on this chain And I really just go through the pictures and I study them Just one same thing shows coming strong from the left side Light is kind of in the center like but it's more to the right You got more shadow over here I'm just get something up We're gonna just make up a song Oh What we seem try to guess what a shadow So now I'm deciding by what we just what I just showed you guys with the pictures I Want my shadow to come strong from the left side Make sure when you finish with your line work you go ahead and lock that layer Keep it at the top and create a new layer Underneath just for your shade and every time you go a tone darker or a tone lighter create new layers Just for that one color

Alright, any comments on Warren's psyche of being a power-lusting politician? Is she nihilistic like Sanders where she wants to tear it down and destroy it? I talked about Sanders yesterday, so I encourage you to listen to yesterday's show.  She's smarter than Sanders. She's more organized than Sanders. She has a plan. Sanders just runs on his personality. Most of them are nihilists. I think she is worse because she's more calculating, she's less emotional, more dangerous. I think they're both motivated by similar things, but I think she is more dangerous. She is more dangerous.  No shame. But that's the world we live in. We lived in the world, relates to the question I answered before, where truth doesn't matter anymore. And that is the slope towards authoritarianism. You said you would vote for Sanders if he was nominee. I mean, not really. Why would that not be a sanction of his socialist policies? I wouldn't vote for Sanders. I wouldn't vote. But I would prefer that Sanders win because I couldn't vote for him. But I would prefer that Sanders win. And the reason is that I don't think Sanders would get anything done.  Whereas Elizabeth Warren, they would work with her. Tucker Carlson, James Cramer, other people associated with the Republicans, I think sympathize with Warren. I think she could work with certain Republican senators. I think she could get stuff done that scares the bejesus out of me.  So I would prefer Sanders to Warren. But I would never vote for Sanders. I would never vote for Trump. I would never vote for Elizabeth Warren. So I would stay out of those elections. What we need today, what I call the new intellectual, would be any man or woman who is willing to think. Meaning, any man or woman who knows that man's life must be guided by reason, by the intellect, not by feelings, wishes, whims, or mystic revelations. Any man or woman who values his life and who does not want to give in to today's cult of the stare, cynicism, and impotence, and does not intend to give up the world to the dark ages and to the role of the collectivist roads. Using the super chat. And I noticed yesterday, when I appealed for support for the show, many of you stepped forward and actually supported the show for the first time. So I'll do it again. Maybe we'll get some more today. If you like what you're hearing, if you appreciate what I'm doing, then I appreciate your support. Those of you who don't yet support the show, please take this opportunity, go to uranbrookshow.com slash support, or go to subscribestar.com uranbrookshow and make a kind of a monthly contribution to keep this going. I'm not showing the next.


Alright, so it's a little loud out here, but one of the main things I'm going to miss about New York City is that we can wake up and go for a run on the water, here we go, we can wake up, go for a run on the water together and then scoot by our favorite shop to get some iced coffee on the way home and start our Saturday morning off right. What happened to her over here? She's braiding her hair. Quiet on the set, please. Alright, so like the title said, we are officially moving out of New York City and for those of you who are new to this channel or don't really know why I'm here in the first place, I'll just quickly go over why we're even here. So we ended up meeting up here in New York City in Manhattan specifically during my first year of training, my intern year, first year residency, moved down to North Carolina for residency, Andrana shortly moved there after me once we got engaged and we got married. So since I had the opportunity to do my subspecialty training in interventional radiology for my final year of training, I could do it somewhere else or I had the option of staying where I currently was doing residency, but we both wanted to go back up to Manhattan because one, Andrana is born and raised in New York City and two, we met up here and three, we just love living here. So I had the opportunity to come here. So I did. And I signed the contract to come up here, which we signed a year in advance, signed it, I think July of 2019. And then the whole Pandy-Wandy happened. Then we ended up moving up here into our apartment, sight unseen. And yeah, I've been up here for a year now, which is like crazy. This whole year has been like a blur between training, between all the pandemic stuff happening. New York City was closed for pretty much like the first eight months we lived here. So the first six months, especially I was getting accustomed to working at a new hospital and we couldn't really do anything. All the restaurants were closed down, no indoor dining. We could order food, but we couldn't really enjoy the New York City environment and the New York City experience, which was the whole reason we moved up here and wanted to do fellowship here in the first place. Now things have been opening up and it's basically, well, it is 100% completely open.  And life is amazing in New York City right now. It's thriving in the end. It's just like it was when I lived up here a long time ago. You get to go out to restaurants. You get to go out for cocktails. You get to hang out with friends. You get to do whatever you want. It's just like the old times in New York City and we're loving it. So now we're experiencing New York like we wanted to originally and didn't really have the chance to get to do. We're kind of sad that we have to leave. It's sad. This is what we came up here for. We just now get the opportunity to experience New York again and then we have to leave. So I am super grateful and super happy about my new job, which is the reason why we're moving out of the city to begin with. And the good news about my job, well, there are a ton of good things about my job, but the main thing is that it's super close to Manhattan and we are moving to the great state, the garden state, New Jersey. Now, that's something yelling. Now, if you would have told me 10, 15, five, even a year ago that I would be moving to New Jersey, I would have said you're out of your mind. Why would anybody go to New Jersey? But I just didn't know anything about New Jersey. New Jersey is beautiful and it's awesome. There's beaches, there's restaurants, there's pizza, there's bars, there's activities, there's parks. You're close to Manhattan. You're close to, I don't know, the beach. You're close to the mountains. You're close to everything. You're close to upstate New York. You can, I never really thought of New Jersey as a place that I would end up, but I'm so excited.  So excited about it. And, and John is also super excited about it. And we're excited just to kind of start our next chapter together. And then new place. So we're pumped. New job. She's going to keep her same job. We're both moving to New Jersey and, uh, yeah, we're leaving New York City, unfortunately. Babe, do you want to come tell everybody what you're going to miss the most about New York City? What are you going to miss the most about? I'm going to miss a few things. One, I'm going to miss the convenience of just going like two blocks away and into a park and playing soccer. And that's what I'm going to miss. We have a park right outside of our house, like a huge football field. And it's open to the public, maybe an hour and a half per day. And I literally go out there. We do sprints. Or just like going to even like the park on the water or going to Central Park, cause we have so many parks that we can just walk outside and the convenience factor of it all is like probably what we're going to miss. Plus you can order food, whatever cuisine you want. Is that your fingertips? Any part of the day? I think I mentioned that in another video that I cooked less while we were living here just because there's so many amazing restaurants just like right outside of your door. So it was just so easy. Like after work, if we got out at like a reasonable hour, we just be like, do you want to meet up and go for dinner or even just ordering dinner to your door in a matter of like 30 minutes. It's just really easy. Indian, Italian, Korean, Chinese, sushi, Mexican and everything. And anything you name it. We ordered at 2 a.m. before we've ordered ice cream at midnight before if you just want some ice cream. I mean, I didn't have that in North Carolina and never had that before and probably won't have it in New Jersey either. Another thing I'm going to miss is bagels and pizza. But they probably have good bagels in New Jersey. If you do a good bagel spot in New Jersey, leave it in the comments below. Pizza. I grew up in New York, so no one beats New York bagels and pizza. So at 10 o'clock at night, when we were both just starving, I want to have a pizza party. We always have pizza parties. So we'll miss that. I mean, it's just the convenience factor that we'll probably miss the most. I also just miss the fact that you can like dress up, be casual. And if you want to be super trendy, you can. Like it's up for grabs. Like anyone can be who they are here. And that's like what's awesome. That's why I love it. That's what the first time I ever moved up here back in like 2010. That was the first thing I noticed. Like you can literally just be yourself here and like no one cares. No. Literally nobody cares, which is awesome. Yeah. It's very unique because nobody cares what you're doing. I feel like that's really what makes this so unique is just like, you can do whatever makes you happy. And no one's going to judge you for that. Literally whatever you want. Yeah. You just have to pay a lot to live here. Yeah. So what I'm not going to miss is one. Check out the link to our apartment tour. You'll see how much we pay and how little we get for how much we pay, but it is what it is. So what I'm not going to miss is, I guess the high cost of living. Yeah.  And urine everywhere. Human urine. Human poop. Human poop. Trash on the streets. Yeah.   I know.   That stuff drives me insane. I just want to like take that paper and throw it in the trash can and be like, what are you doing? You know? And that the other thing that like you could either pay for convenience here is like for me, I always like to go to the grocery store and pick up my own groceries. So just, you know, you need to carry 20 million bags on your shoulders or you can get a little cart. I didn't get a car. I should have gotten a car. Carrying all this. Oh my God. Or you can just like order your groceries. Everyone orders their groceries. I'm just like so like, I always just like, yeah. And I always like to pick my produce or like certain things, like all like the cleaning supplies and like, I don't know, package stuff. I would order, but like produce and food. I felt like I always went to the grocery store and picked all that up. So my shoulders definitely got, my arms got to work out. I would have bruises on my shoulders from carrying the bags. They're so heavy. I would carry like a watermelon on my shoulder. Yeah. I'm not going to miss that at all. It's nice having a car now. There's so much we're going to miss about the city. And there's a little bit that we're not going to miss about it. It was really not much that I'm not going to miss here. I would stay here, honestly. I'm sorry. I would stay here. Yeah. I would stay here.  You know, just realized I was hunching back. So we are actually going now to meet one of our friends for Korean barbecue because it's one of our last weekends in the city and we love Korean barbecue. Love Korean barbecue and another guilty pleasure. Very much so. So we're going to go ahead and end the video here.
