They committed this crime. Yes, so it's... I start to wonder why NAPTIV are the ones in charge of the record for sex offenders and then you dive deeper and you find out that we don't even have enough records of sex offenders in the country. I think Lagos State has about maybe less than a thousand while AKT has recorded I think 570 something. So a few is just in trinkles and you and I know that in Nigeria, when I think about it, eight out of every ten women, children. Let me just state to the adults. Let me state to the adults because that one we can all confirm. Eight out of every ten women have been sexually abused. So where are those abusers? And these abusers range from school teachers, lesson, home lesson, school lesson, after school lesson, PE teachers because you have after sports, you have different after school activities, sporting activities.  So in Nigeria we know that this sex offends and sex offenders list in Nigeria and the database should be more than what we currently have. So I do not know whether it is an issue of not being able, is it that the cases have not gone up because when I looked at it, when I looked at the record of NAPTIC, if I look at the record of NAPTIC, they only have about a thousand, 189 records, total records. They have 232 convictions and they have 546 still in court and then 187 under investigation. I know that this record should be a whole lot more than this, but why does this happen? Because it goes back to the point where we were talking about, a few days ago it was on parenting and how you should caution your kids and put them in line so that from a young age they would be able to tell the difference between when someone is touching them in areas that they are not supposed to and as against when someone is being friendly with them. So we know that this record should be more than this and we know that this is a problem in Nigeria already, which is having record of anything. Database is always a huge issue because from a population of about 100, over 111 million people in Nigeria, you cannot tell me that in a country where we know very well that more than 50% of the population of women in Nigeria have been sexually abused and we know that we have over at least 20% of the population in Nigeria supposedly supposed to be down here as records of sex offenders and they are not there. And why is this so? That's my question. But then again, are the cases being reported? There is that part of it, there's that angle, we know, even though it takes people a while sometimes to come out to report, but even after years, this record should also still go down as part of the records for this, especially if there's a conviction. Naptip is, well it was the body that was formed not too long ago, it was formed recently and then decided to take on these things. Actually from the time we had, I remember we had that princess story and that's when this body became active. So let me say that's probably why we're having the numbers that it is that we're having these days because now we're having people say these are the two lines to call if there's any issue like this, this is who you should speak to. So I think people are becoming more aware and people are no longer holding it back and saying I don't want to say anything because my family, some bodies that you can actually go to to tell that this is what is going on, this is what have been sexually abused and so on and so forth and then it can be taken up from there. But now let's not look at it from the point of the children exactly now. I mean these people are predators, so to speak.  There are other ways but I guess it's demon possession no, there's something wrong with you. So I wanted to actually just even point to the fact that I agree that the citizens have experienced I mean from our parent's time to now I'm certain that there have been too many incidents that must have been reported.  First of all being a sex offender, your life is over because even if let's say you get a good trial one year, two years or if you're unlucky they give you life but if you save your time coming out of jail is another issue because you cannot get a job you cannot even live in a neighborhood every neighborhood will know every neighborhood will know who you are and all of these things trickles down to the fact that government has to help us fight against this. In 1993 when Bill Clinton was still the president he actually announced and declared a law that every state in the country is required to update their predatory lists and it has to be open to the public so that means that most of these communities everybody knows everybody so you cannot move to a new neighborhood and start pretending to be who you are not they would drag you out so which is the reason why in Nigeria I think there are certain things that needs to be taken seriously because I can just imagine we have that very annoying relative somebody that is never related with this person by blood you already say this is my own that easily prey prey on these people I've had my first year of that experience and even growing up I couldn't tell my parents what was happening however I knew it was wrong so that sensitization it comes from the family but it also has like the government and public bodies have a lot of things to do regarding this just to ensure I like what you said the sensitization comes from the family I think it would come back let's take a break and open our phone come back we'll continue with that okay if you just tuned in to our ladies night out and were discussing the topic safeguarding our children from predators please let us know what you have to say remember you can join the conversation send us an SMS on what apps<PHONE_NUMBER>3 you could also tweet to us at weishawafika1 with the hashtag weishaw our phone line is also now open please call us on 070 25077 49 so before we went on the break we were talking about sensitization from the family and I think that's where it begins because you see in most cases children are afraid to speak up so something like this happens maybe actually when it's happening from another family member they're scared to speak up they're scared to tell their parents what's going on they're scared to even talk to maybe siblings that happened to me it was something that happened growing up my dad was always going on nine shifts a lot of the time and I had this cousin that was living with us at home so he started you know when I'm sleeping you know those naughty and I didn't even understand why I was 13 at the time that last 30 I was in SS3 which was like 16 and was my best friend that forced me to tell my older sister who sat all the female in the house down like all of us young children to say this is what happened to Alero if this person is around make sure you do this we ensured that the person knew we knew and he moved out of the house eventually but imagine when you actually I didn't want to speak up because I was afraid and this we have so many people that have had this experience that would most likely not even I mean I was telling about my former colleague when I was working that she was supposed to go to church her parents told her to go to church she went to see the pastor and you know being with the pastor he molested or raped her she cried when back home to her parents her parents followed her back to the pastor's place only to go and apologize to this guy and she's an adult today she's married and she said that's the reason why I asked my family because I can't come to tell you that this person assaulted me and you are going to apologize because he's a pastor so it has a lot to do with the home our upbringing and what we allow because a lot of times we don't focus on the fact that I think our children ignore that these things can traumatize you and destroy your life eventually it happens don't worry so now let's ask or rather let's discuss this how then do we protect our children how do we safeguard our children from these situations how do we protect them from these predators Mary I think for me the first thing is getting the child to be comfortable to tell you anything you said you spoke said something about your daughter and he said you're not feeling well just constantly checking out on you that's because there's a relationship there you have a voice I said something as well last week Tuesday I was like I might not have had the clothes being able to say the details but I had a voice I had an opinion I could say I don't want to do this and it's like okay the first time and you don't really feel comfortable they can read your past years about it okay you're not comfortable with this and you are free to do like take your decision like okay we'll figure that out later and stuff you know so I think that's where it starts from that being whether the child is a quiet child or is an outspoken child being able to be able to relate whatever problem it is my father used to say something he said Mary even if you still and you come back and run inside this house I will first of all look to protect you and that put something in my head to say whatever it is no matter how bad you can always come back so that's where it starts from when you have a safe place a safe home a safe heaven then when these things when science begins to occur this pattern is touching you in a certain way when you go back and you can tell your guardian or your parents to say this is what is happening or this is how I feel and I think that's where it starts from for me and I think there are certain people that some uncles per se or aunties that always act two nights like a father figure I mean there have been several situations that the person would pretend to just be so nice always available sometimes make the child trust you so much that there are some parents that also you are going to work or whatever you talk this person is definitely looking after my child but you don't know what's going on so I like the fact that parenting now is really changing for a lot of people they are focusing on their children that sensitization thing is not it's not one person's job it takes a village it takes a village to ensure that a human being is fine in every aspects of their life so that sensitization is one thing that the parents need to just pay you have to have extra six cents if you don't have money to buy a nanny come at home you should be able to put different things different people just have to be around that child I think another point for me is when children grow up to become teenagers the art of teaching the child to say no I know sometimes we can't really be explicit with our parents about certain things but you have people who it could be consensual the sex can be consensual but the person, the lady is in pain the lady is not enjoying it the lady doesn't want it but you not really have had that sensitization or you have not been taught how to say no how to say I am not enjoying this I think I want it because that's another part of sexual abuse that that's not being talked about that even happens to a lot of adults and so you have a lot of females who are probably having sexual encounters like I'll take an instance at the gym I didn't read any meaning into it but I noticed that when I was being a bit too I'm not one to too familiar I'm not one to abruptly just push you away and I felt very embarrassed that it took an older woman to come and tell me to say oh don't you think this is a bit too and you know I've been thinking about it in my head but I really just couldn't say the oh please can you stop hugging me this way can you stop because it's very subtle do you understand and if you let it go on so that's the grooming so that's the grooming like on the show a few days ago mama was saying that it's the grooming because it starts from little things there are lots of things in different ways we've all been groomed to accept different things and you've been told for years this is okay you've had that like Alera said you have that family member you have that person who has been pushed onto you as a family member maybe a cousin a distant cousin a distant uncle not even a family member not even related by blood but living with you and you know our parents were very welcoming then so you used to have different people come by the house oh your uncle is coming by he's staying with you he's been with us for a week two weeks and what have you and you're like okay no problem you have to move to this person's room or you have to move clear the guest room or something like that it was an event to look forward to but for some people it wasn't because when that uncle comes around things happen and you know when you have then our parents were not disenlightened so they always believed the worst or we told the worst lies because it's funny that you would walk up to your parents for those who had the courage and the confidence and openness and trust with their family to be able to walk up and say oh dad I have something to tell you uncle did this this this and I felt very uncomfortable about it or uncle touched you other than you probably would express it the same way it comes to you uncle touched me in my private part or uncle did this or uncle I don't like he's hugging me too tightly and you know I don't know whether it was this bill I don't know what to use why the parents of then didn't pay attention to all those signs because when you have kids that actually come up to you to tell you stuff now we see how important it is because then we just didn't used to tell anybody anything you can hardly even even within is now as we've grown older that we are starting to you know be intentional about relationships, friendships and the people we have around us but growing up everybody was just somebody around you like but everyone learned how to I think for our generation we learned how to be a bit independent early so you just learned how to be on your own in your own world even though you had a family so it didn't for some people they didn't even get to the point where disbelief was the point you didn't even tell because you don't even know how to put it forward that this happened you don't know how what to expect are you going to be beaten for even allowing yourself to be in that environment or what like you know especially if it's a case of or maybe your uncle gave you sweets and then told you to come to his room and sit down and you sat down it's almost like you are the stupid one I think even for a long time year like as an adult if I did go to a guy's house and he tried such I would actually keep quiet and blame myself because society has said you took yourself there do you understand so another for me not to have that I set my boundaries I set boundaries to say I don't come into your house I don't care if you are the the strongest will I am not going to set myself up for disaster because I know that either I might not be able to say because I will be feeling like oh yeah you put yourself in this situation you did this to yourself so let me avoid it you want to see me please just go out to the public can we have lunch can we have dinner in the public where I have control of myself to blame myself because people are going to blame it as over you went there and what were you expecting does that give you the right it doesn't I was also going to say another thing is as adults we need to always watch our reaction as parents as adults because children would actually read your reaction to know how they are going to tell you so let me give an example my daughter sent me a message at her grandparents and she sent me a message yesterday and she said mommy I am very sorry and then I am like let me wait for example but uncle he lost my wrist watch and I am still waiting for you know the reason and she goes that's because I give it to him I am like great so now we now understand this so I was like my darling why did you give him the watch in the first place number one when did you give him the watch because in the first place this watch was supposed to be used in school and I told you the reason you had this because I wasn't going to get any form of accessory in school in the first place but I am like ok you need to be able to tell the time you need to know ok time for prayer time for this time for that alright no problem have the watch and I asked her these questions and then she answered me and I smiled I am like thank god she could at least come to say look this thing happened I know that you are going to be upset I am sorry but then this is how it happened and I believe that's how to work with children make them understand you are not the bad person what you have done is bad it's not you that say bad and that's the policy between myself and my child I always let her know look I understand I need you to understand that this act is a bad act does it make you a terrible person no does it mean you should do it again that way the child will understand that look I get it I messed up but it doesn't necessarily make me a bad person that's another thing that I preach it's ok to make mistakes I will use myself as an example sometimes I am like oh mommy did this to them sometimes I will pretend oh dang I just did this you understand that everybody does it so when things like this then happen you would notice that the child would not hold back from telling you this is what instead the child will even feel they need to open up and let you know that dad mom this is what actually happened I don't know what does this make me but in this appearance your child comes to tell you next thing you don't go wow wow I get that sometimes you can actually be very angry and that's why I try so hard okay I tell her I am very obsessed right now and she was can I let you be for a while yes please let me be and then I come back and look that got me really mad I don't like it but how do we now address and that should always be the approach because then the child is now more open because this is how my mother actually brought me up I don't think there's anything I cannot tell my mom today I'm not sure there's anything I cannot tell my mother and when I say anything I actually mean anything and that's because and what I would judge you you know the fact that you can actually open up because I know cancer from her is definitely coming from a place of wisdom and experience so I know that no matter as I want to take mess up she will still she will still understand and say okay maybe we should have done that's what I'm going to do really that's safe space if you are not uncle you are not uncle that's another thing if you are mommy's friend if you are daddy's friend I say that uncle tunde is not your uncle uncle tunde is your daddy's friend auntie bimbo is not my sister auntie bimbo is mommy's friend so that way we understand we come from a culture I understand that but it's going to take a while for that to be embedded into the system and that's why we have the problem because those children then believe when uncle tunde does something to her she feels like oh mommy's brother or daddy's brother I probably shouldn't say this but it also speaks to as a parent it's your responsibility I know that you can't really be available for every situation but your responsibility to have all her eyes and to pay attention to everyone that is around your child and a lot of times some parents actually dismiss what their children say so if your child actually just come and tell you this is what is happening believe them believe them first before believe them have that conversation with the child before you even take it up with whoever is being accused because a lot of time the resistant comes from the child being afraid like you said if that safe place is not being created if we said your time that's the child that's probably with the experience of type of disaster that you cannot even come out from at the end of the day and that's why the trust is necessary the trust is necessary we're coming from a generation where discipline was seen as different discipline was actual discipline the bible says so there's a little bit of discipline guaranteed but we're coming from a place where we felt it was a bit extreme but I wouldn't lie to you some of those experiences is what made me who I am telling me as the strong person I am today and then I look at the next generation and I'm like we have a lot we have a lot to see people want to see cool parents and I see there's nothing like cool parents there is my dad does a cool dad my dad never hit us for one day in fact it's always worse when he talks to you because you are finished cool parents doesn't mean that your father or your mother will hit you what I'm saying is you want to be that mom or dad that's I don't know the best way to explain this now in the bit of trying to do that you are then losing your child I have a friend whose mom was the coolest and I'm not really particularly happy about how her kids turned out because it puts me in a position to ask was she too lenient because she was the nice one and then her kids that one is on drugs and she's still not being as firm as you get but you have a comment I have a comment let's take one comment hello ladies you all look super delightful loving the conversation going on just to add to all that has been said I believe it's also very important for parents and guardians to learn to draw boundaries for children in terms of the names we call people uncles, aunties, cousins are relatives only by blood and not by title also that even though these relatives are related with them does not mean that they have the right to make you feel uncomfortable by their actions those not related to them should be called mister or miss this is a major confusion that children struggle with and parents need to be intentional about this the polish coach that's exactly what I was saying call them what they are thank you so much for the polish coach for the polish coach for that okay this was a very interesting conversation it's something that cannot be over discussed we need to continue talking about this but it will keep happening more and more sensitization anyway so before we go do ensure you follow us on instagram at weishuafrica you can interact with us father drop a comment and most importantly follow all our social media engagement and remember to like share comments and invite your friends and family to watch us and follow us if you miss today's code hear it again nearly 100,000 sex offenders remain unregistered and are moving freely about the country the risk that they may strike again grows every day and this is bible of me see you tomorrow at 8pm as we bring another great conversations here thank you ladies


There's value in knowing different ways to combat a lack of motivation, but they might not be as effective if they're not tailored to your specific situation. After all, how can you effectively deal with the issue if you don't really understand it or why it's there in the first place? In this video, I want to cover 7 common reasons why students aren't motivated to study or generally why people aren't as motivated to get their work done. See if any of these apply to you and have a think about how you can change them moving forward. Oftentimes when students are lacking motivation, they can be quite harsh on themselves and immediately jump to the idea that they're just being lazy or they're not trying hard enough or something like that. But sometimes your lack of motivation is just a sign that you're tired and you need to rest. It's better for you to understand this as it's happening, take the time that you need to rest and then come back to your work instead of just forcing yourself to push through. You'll end up working with a better attitude and most likely get more work done and to a higher quality if you give yourself the rest that you need. Sometimes it can be hard to differentiate between being physically tired and mentally tired and of just having a lack of motivation due to a bunch of other things. So try to think about, you know, how often you've been working, the other factors in your life that might be causing you to be tired. Have you been physically pushing yourself more than usual, maybe at the gym or in sports? Think about your life as we like saying medicine holistically and, you know, consider whether you just need some time to rest and recover. You might also be feeling low motivation because of stress. Having a lot of stress can become really overwhelming, which can just lead to you sometimes shutting down, you know, when it comes to being productive or getting things done in your life. It can become really hard to compartmentalize all the different stressors in your life and focus on your priorities in these times. Try and reach out to the people around you for additional support. And when it comes to studying and things like that, use all the tools that you have and you know about like scheduling or prioritizing, making to-do lists, et cetera, to try and sort of lighten the load that you have. Now in our life, distractions are plenty and they can easily keep you from getting stuff done. Going out with your friends compared to sitting at your desk and working is a tough comparison. The temporary discomfort of studying for future success is something that's really hard for us to work on in the present moment. It's much easier to pick the option that's going to offer immediate pleasure.  For example, if you've got exams in a couple of weeks, like I do right now, then you might want to limit yourself to a couple of days off a week, which you can give to everything else in your life that you want, but it's important to create those boundaries and stick to them if you want to reach your chosen goals. Worrying about failure can easily backfire on you. You can feel so flustered that you spend all your time fixating on the fact that you might fail, so you avoid work in the first place. You convince yourself that you're going to fail and the panic of it all means that getting your mind to focus on work seems impossible. The key here, I think, is to almost counsel yourself, talk to yourself, or like be your own hype man or hype woman, you know, and see if you can change your thinking and your mindset into believing that if you put in the work now, then this actually gives you a better chance of success in the future. Not trying in the first place or not trying at all is pretty much the only way that you're guaranteed failure. Doing even a small amount of work or a small amount of effort towards the goal or towards the exam or stunning or whatever is going to result in some sort of improvement, no matter how small or how big. And spending all your time worrying about failure sabotages your own success. If you can relate to some of these feelings or thought patterns, then remember that you've gotten this far in your journey for a reason and that reason is unlikely to be that you are a failure. It's much more likely because you deserve to be here, you're capable of being here and you can do this and you can get through this. If you can overcome the negative thoughts and feelings around, I'm going to fail no matter how much work I do. It's not going to be worth it or enough, etc. And see the time that you have to work as an opportunity to succeed instead of a certain path to failure. And you're going to do much better than you would have otherwise. Trust me, I've been using these Jedi mind tricks on myself, talking to myself, convincing myself, telling myself all these things just so I can keep a good mental state and, you know, tell myself that the work that I'm putting in now is going to be worth it. And any amount of work that I do is going to be an improvement, no matter from where I am at the moment, you know, all these ways of tricking myself, convincing myself to start studying, to keep studying and to keep myself in a good mental space.  Coming up with any sort of game plan seems impossible because you just don't know if anything you come up with is actually going to work. This is one of those situations where just starting is all you need to do. It doesn't matter what you start by doing, just start with something. After that, your resources will become your best friends. You can also speak to your tutors or students in the years above you. You can look online to try and get some advice or strategies on how to get going and how to get started. But if you already know what the plan or strategy is and it's just that initial starting of the work that's the problem, then that can be tough. And often what I really like to do in those situations is just to start with the easiest little piece of work that I have in front of me. For example, if you're watching a lecture, that is like an hour long with 50, 60 PowerPoint lines and you just can't bring yourself to get through them and watch them, I feel you don't worry. I've been there many times. Try and find creative ways to get around this sort of block. So, for example, instead of just starting on lecture side number one and watching grinding through to get through to the end, you might want to pick out certain topics or titles that you think are high yield or the most important. And then you can go on YouTube or other resources and search up videos or other maybe more interesting ways of learning that same information. Resources like sketchy medical, the cartoon drawings that help you memorize things or random YouTube videos or things like osmosis, flashcards, past paper questions. You know, there's so many different ways to study the exact same thing.  Honestly, just find any way that you can get started and get into that studying zone and mood, get flexible with your study style and get creative and just work your way around that initial block. You're going to feel less motivated the more you study if you're already studying for long periods of time. Just makes sense. At the end of my USMLE studying period and other big exam periods in medical school and before, I was just getting less and less motivated with each day that I continued going on. Say, for example, that you've been working for four hours today, but you start to feel unmotivated. Instead of realizing that you've probably hit your limit for the day and need to rest, you decide to push yourself for another four hours of work. You grind out these four hours of not so great studying and end your day feeling like trash. When you wake up the next morning, you're so much less likely to do another full quality day of studying because you've overworked yourself the night before working too much or too hard is really tough to gauge, especially when there's all kinds of peers around you who are probably working very, very long hours or very, very much. And all of us, I think, deep down are kind of programmed to feel like we need to work more and study more and that we're not working hard enough or as hard as other people, etc. This isn't the case for everyone, but particularly amongst people in competitive environments like medical school, law school, engineering, whatever, it tends to be present quite a bit. If this is you, then try to come up with boundaries that you can use to work with.  The perceived difficulty of the task can be one of the biggest barriers to motivation. And I've experienced this so, so, so many times. I have an assignment to do and it just seems like this impossibly tall mountain that I need to climb and I'll never be able to. And the key that has helped me overcome these feelings is to understand the difference between perceived difficulty and actual difficulty. It could be that the work is objectively just really, really difficult. And in this case, you need to employ, you know, all of the techniques you know about studying and motivation to help you get through it. I'm talking about things like chopping up the work into by-size manageable pieces, reaching out to more experienced people like tutors or older years using online resources and so on. If this isn't the case and it just seems that the task is really difficult, then you need to take a different approach. You need to figure out why this seems so difficult to you. It might be that you're really struggling with the topic, let's say algebra or organic chemistry or physics or whatever. It might be because you haven't done well on previous tests. And so now you're worried that that's going to happen again. It might be that you're worried about tackling the subject because of your lack of prerequisite knowledge, or you just find it really boring or not as engaging or whatever. All these things can build up in your head and mean that you perceive the task to be so difficult that you don't end up doing anything at all, or you just feel terrible about it to begin with. If you can figure out why you think the task is so difficult, then you can come up with a game plan to tackle it. And on top of that, this is another scenario where I found that just getting started is so, so helpful. 100% of the time when I've had this feeling that there's this huge mountain for me to climb but I'm never going to be able to climb it or whatever. As soon as I start and I put in like five minutes, 10 minutes of work, maybe the first hour, I always realized this isn't as bad as I had made it out to be in my head. I slowly start to work on it. I just get on with it and before I know it, progress has been made. So genuinely just getting started, giving the thing a go is one of the best things you can do. Force yourself to start. For some students, having a false sense of security can prevent you from studying altogether. If you think that you've got plenty of time to work or that the work isn't that difficult or that it doesn't require a lot of time when it actually does, then you're actually underestimating the amount of work that's involved and you might not study at all or get started way too late. You can easily talk yourself into not studying and you're OK with it because you've convinced yourself that you don't need to. This can sometimes be a cycle of being unmotivated and then convincing yourself that you don't need to work, which confirms your need to not work in the first place. It's difficult to recognize, but often it's worth speaking to people around you to get some sort of sense or idea of what other people are doing. It acts as a litmus test as to whether you're doing enough or not. If you're the only one who's starting studying a week before the exam when everyone else has given themselves four weeks, then you might want to reconsider your mindset around how much time you've given yourself to work. Literally, last week I messaged Kenji and Georgina and I asked them what their game plan was for our upcoming exam and I did this so that I could compare my own game plan to their game plan and see if I'm giving myself too little time to study or if others are doing something similar and probably going to be OK. It's easy to fall into this trap and it's also easy to selectively listen to the few people that will tell you what you want to hear, you know, confirmation bias and all of that. You need to try and take a step back and think about things a little bit more critically than just through the filter of being unmotivated. I hope this video has helped you to think about some of the reasons why you might be feeling unmotivated. I feel that it's really important on this channel that we discuss some of the reasons why we're not feeling motivated as opposed to just always talking about solutions and ways you can do things. I think both are really important in how we think about our work or studying and so we should discuss both. If you've got any additional reasons why you think you might be unmotivated or are looking for advice or help from anyone else in a studying or university community, please do leave a comment down below and I'm sure myself or someone else can hopefully get back to you and we can all share our ideas around motivation and studying. And that's it from me. Until next time, I'll catch you in the next one. Peace. Cool, that's parking section number two. Let's get off this balcony without dropping my 5,000 pound camera. Easy does it.


How are you? I am so excited to show you this today. I wasn't sure what to film on this week, especially since last week. I just did not have an enemy to do a video. We've been really starting the summer with a busy bang and I wanted to just take a week into rest, so I hope that was okay with you guys because I did it anyway. But today I'm going to show you this awesome tip I found from this really neat gal that I, she's got another YouTube channel and she gives all these really great DIY hacks, cleaning tips for on a budget. So I will link that up here. But this one was how to clean your shower grout because we just like we have this problem in our shower and it's an older shower. We probably will remodel it eventually but it just gets these nasty black lines on the tile and the grout and I hate looking at it when I would take a shower. So this is what this looks like. Let me show you right now.  So they're very, very cheap. We're do the wise though. You're going to want to do this in a well ventilated area. And so once you put on the gel and like she said, you probably should wear gloves and a mask but I'm not going to do that. Then you let the gel sit on the grout for like 30 minutes to an hour and in some of the worst spots, you want to put like paper towels or napkins to hold the cleaner to the really yucky spots and like I can already see it working. I only put it on like five minutes ago. This is crazy. So I'm so excited to show you before and after. I guess I could have taken a video of what my shower actually looked like before. It wasn't that bad. It just had a lot of orange and a lot of mildew and like soap scum buildup. So I'm going to go ahead and clean this and then I will show you what it looks like after. Realizing that this is what I do on a Saturday night for fun. How sad that is. No, no, but really like I was out all day today. So this is somewhat relaxing for me. Don't judge. Little brushes you guys probably get the dollar store. I've had this thing forever and I use it for scrubbing my tubs and showers and stuff. So this is working better. I can thin a toothbrush because it's got hard bristles. That was a lot of work. I don't even think I got it as clean as I could have just because it's like an awkward angle and it takes a lot of elbow grease to get in there.  So let me show you the before and after. Make sure you get all of the bleach residue off of your shower so you're not inhaling fumes for your next morning shower. My husband's super sensitive with bleach actually, so I have to be really careful when I use bleach in the house. I actually, I don't love to use chemicals. I try to be as natural as I can. I clean with a lot of essential oils, but sometimes you just got to use a good chemical and get all the guck. So that's what we did today. Really happy I tried it. You should too. Check out that girls channel and from do it on a dime. She's awesome and I highly recommend a lot of what she's helped me learn. So yeah. Hope you all had a great Father's Day weekend. Our plan had been to go camping with my husband and my kids and some friends of ours, but it just didn't work out with weather and there was some sickness going around not in our family, but we just had to cancel our trip. So I was kind of sad, but we are happy that we got like a staycation here at home and got to do a farmer's market today and hiking yesterday and just like lots of fun things that we've been meaning to do as a family. So hope you got some good family time with your father figures. Have another amazing week. I would love to hear about all what you're learning and what you're going through this week. Go ahead and comment below like this video if you got a good tip from this and I will see you again next week. Have a great day. Don't forget to go get messy, have fun and learn.


Good morning, Hank, it's Wednesday. We were gonna have a video from the DFTBA.com warehouse today, but I thought I'd make one instead. So it appears that more Americans voted for Hillary Clinton than Donald Trump in the U.S. presidential race, but the presidential race is decided by electoral college votes, and Donald Trump won most of them, so he is the president-elect. Most, although certainly not all of the people watching this video wanted Hillary Clinton to become president, I know I did, and for many of us, the results of the election are devastating. I think part of what makes it so hard for some people is that Donald Trump has often attacked not what his opponents believe, but who they are. Their race, their gender, their religion, and more. And it is painful and scary to be called dangerous or less than by a man who becomes president-elect of the United States, and I don't want to minimize that fear or trauma because I believe that it is real and important. I also want to say that I'm sorry. I'm sorry that we have let our political discourse become so hateful. And I'm sorry that we've let our echo chambers become so sealed off that it is as unfathomable to me why someone would support Donald Trump for president as it is to many Trump supporters why I would support Hillary Clinton. I spoke with hundreds of undecided voters in the days before the election, and what struck me most was how different our information was. In many cases we had the same concerns, the environment or health care or tax policy, but we were working with completely different data sets. Our community, by the way, is also an echo chamber. Just 4% of the nerdfighters who filled out the census this year said they would vote for Donald Trump. But I don't know how to make our community more inclusive without opening it up to cruelty and hatred. We have to get better at listening to each other and challenging each other constructively and generously, but I worry that the very architecture of the social internet might make that impossible. Honestly, I feel lost, and I'm looking to you for guidance and clarity as I have for almost a decade now. But the world doesn't end today, as Saladin Ahmed wrote last night. It's our job to fight those in power and stick up for the powerless. That stays the same no matter who's president. As Lin-Manuel Miranda wrote, I love this country and there's more work to do than ever. And as Kamala Harris said, this is a time to fight for who we are. I think this will be a tough time in US history. I hope it won't be, but I think it will be. But I also think our nation is and always must be bigger than any of its leaders and that our leaders are and always must be answerable to the people. So it's always our job to stand together and make sure the government does its job, that it affords equal protection under the law to all citizens, that the rights of all are protected and that our government's policies are fiscally sound and carefully considered. Change doesn't only happen on election night and it doesn't only happen in the Oval Office and it is up to us to find the places where our skills and talents meet the needs of our community and the world and to do the hard work to make life better for all. And on that front, I am hopeful. So 10 days ago my nephew, Oren, was born and bringing that baby into the world was an act of hope on the part of his parents. I am glad for their hope and I am heartened by it and I do not believe it was misguided. That child was born into an America that is better than the one his grandparents were born into. And it was made better by people whose hope from restaurant counters in Alabama to the beaches of Normandy helped them to stand together and hold the line in circumstances vastly darker than anything I pray most of us will ever see. I don't think hope is idealistic or silly. I think it's the founding emotion of our species. And it's not naive to hope that we can bend the arc of American history toward justice because we've seen our ancestors do that in the face of unimaginable difficulty. As the great American poet of the human heart wrote, Hope is the thing with feathers that perches in the soul and sings the tune without the words and never stops at all.


All the easy questions out of the way. What are you guys doing? Break some news here? What's going on behind closed doors that we don't know about? Who do you want? Who are you close to getting? Yeah, not much so far. I mean, we're we're obviously In cash and is engaged in a lot of conversations bouncing a lot of different ideas concepts off other clubs off All of our guys in the room as we kind of brainstorm and continue to kind of keep up the conversation Frankly, we have all winter long where we're talking about ideas to to try and make us better and You know It's been slow. I would say for the most part so far today, but those conversations those text messages those those Ideas are are getting ramped up a little bit now that we are here Is the conversation with regard to DD a shortstop is that you feel that solvable solvable from within or do you have to go Get some help it's absolutely solvable from within you know that said that is an area where I know cash is working really hard to kick Every kind of option through the trade market through free agency So we're certainly trying to upgrade that and and trying to at least get somebody from a stopgap to a long-term solution In in there, but we feel like we have really good options internally, too We saw Glaber move over to shortstop for a few weeks last year It's a position he played throughout his minor league career. So we feel like Glaber's Versatility gives us some flexibility where we go as far as do we need a shortstop do we need a second baseman those kind of things? Hopefully give us greater avenues to go acquire somebody one of those solutions could be Manny Machado Obviously one of the marquee names on the free agent market You're smiling because I'm sure any manager would love to have Manny Machado penciled into the lineup But he also has to fit within the parameters that the Yankees are comfortable with What's your thought process on Machado and how he could or would fit in with the Yankees? It feels very early in the game You know, I know cash is spoken to to to their representatives but I would say it's very early in the game and and I don't even know if in the end we we go down that road or not, but You know, that'll something that'll kind of unfold over the private next week or a couple weeks Where you know, we start to have those conversations and if it seems like to fit then I'm sure we'll be involved But I don't think we've as an organization made that final decision if we're gonna be all in on something Brian Cashman has been very clear. He wants another starting pitcher I'm sure you win another starting pitcher as well Do you expect that to come via the free agent market or more so a trade situation? I wouldn't be surprised either way, honestly I mean those are even today the conversations that we're having with other clubs about trade options Obviously we're engaged with with guys that are free agents that that could impact our staff. It's certainly a big time priority for us and something that we're Involved heavily in with I would say right now, but I would would not be surprised sitting here if it came from either one It's funny because people looking at the Yankees will have to do something because the Red Sox won the World Series But as Jack said earlier, you guys want a hundred games. I Don't think you're that far off and you know the president the Yankees Randy Levine said a week ago I think we're just as good as the Red Sox if not better the way we're presently constituted So is that a delicate balance? We like what we have here because we want a hundred games Do we have to do that much I? Think that's fair We do feel like we're one of the elite clubs in Major League Baseball and I think there's no arguing that The Red Sox were obviously a little bit better than us a little bit better than everyone in the season that they had But I think hopefully Hopefully, you know in years that we just had hopefully When we win a championship You're always going to be tinkering with things You're always going to be trying to make improvements and that's gonna happen Hopefully when we climb to the top of the mountain as well because it's inevitable that things change and evolve and and I think you've Got to constantly be Making little moves that that help help let you grow I guess Aaron


What's up everybody, welcome to SPM Paz, my name is Liz Jackson and we are reporting live from Willi Paul's residence. Yes, you heard that right. So, we have not been able to communicate to him again, but we can see police vehicles outside his house and these are not normal police vehicles. These look like vehicles from the DCI. So, to cooperate with other media houses, we want to know what exactly is happening to Willi Paul. So, we have not been able to talk to him, his phone is not going through, but to take care of him, but to do anything to help Willi Paul. So, keep it at SPM Paz. Yes, I mean, you're going to be done. I mean, you are right back. Back right, huh? Because I'm going to be back. So, guys, pose has been arrested. They are coming out. Yes. It looks like you can see it. I cannot do anything here. I can't find anything, yes. I can't find anything. The bag rides? No, I can't. Have you seen the open? You go up there again. Just go up to the left. Maybe you can see it. When we arrived there weren't any cars. Or cars that were loaded onto the road.


All right. Good morning, everyone. It's Friday. We made it and we're on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange with Jim Kramer. Jim Let's begin with North Korea another missile over Japan. Yeah, I No one really knows how to factor this in anymore I mean, we know that if the missile had fallen short and landed in Japan I think you would have World War three. I mean, I do think that the world is coalescing against China about this Remember China exports a great deal if the Europeans were to come out and say something strong 25% of Of China stuff goes to Europe then I think China would finally feel pressured right now China's strongly on the side of North Korea as they have been since North Korea was created now North Korea aside as you said on that Incredible a peak call yesterday. This is an environment Jim that you've always kind of wanted Yeah, I mean, I think that people you got to think a little long term. I mean, I've been My bought my first stock in 1979 and what you have to recognize is that a view of an environment with low inflation and decent growth We're interest rates are not that competitive You're gonna have a good stock market And I think that it bothers people tremendously that the market can keep going up even though there's bad news But you have to understand that is actually your backdrop and when your backdrop is like that You have a history of success with this kind of environment.  They're down badly, but so the question is do you use that week just to buy? I did a piece yesterday, but how Eli Lilly That J&J that someone would upgrade and start talking about some of these of the drug stocks and boom It's happened Jeffries came out today. So it's an environment where analysts are Excited to come out and recommend stocks or upgrade to sell G You know the positive POM is Bristol Myers I mean so when stocks start moving the analysts get behind them and our our conference call yesterday talked about that That same thing by the way new core once again cutting numbers I'm sticking with new court just so people know you mentioned the airline downgrades But action alerts plus holding Southwest was actually upgrade I mean what happens is is that when you get when you decide not to own the sick little airlines You go for the secular growth airline and that airline is Southwest Air love, which is one of the reasons why we own Another analyst commentary to follow Carnival and Credit Suisse. It was a very tough piece I mean it was a piece that I did not see coming Because a lot of their businesses in the Caribbean But the one thing I would count on is if these stocks go down they will clean up the Caribbean They're also islands that they will go to and that have not been going to before and I'm saying this because When you have CEOs like Fane and Donald Royal Caribbean what you find are people who are very resourceful and they have been counted out before Don't count.  Yeah, and I did say yesterday in the coalition you could probably buy some I My philosophy is is strictly that maybe people trade too much and that some stocks are not worth trading Now Jim when we talk about the broader economy the consumer you highlighted a ton on squawk on the street This industrial renaissance Yeah, ETN this was a conference called a conference yesterday Morgan Stanley where they talked about The demand from Europe and man from China are really growing US not as good Which is one of my themes is that Europe is stronger Eaton got into Europe unfortunately They really put a lot of assets in at the top and it's hurt them for a long time. It's no longer hurting them It's really helping them and eaten is a classic industrial that's having a really really good quarter and the conference really shows You exactly how strong things are. I thought it was very good All right, we'll watch that one meanwhile senator Warren launching a probe into Equifax no surprise here No, I mean Equifax is a disaster and the fact is is that the board of directors should Look long and hard at their CEO And I think it's shameful. This is a company that has far more data on all of us many Americans that any other company is it's the ultimate hack and When you're the old limit hack should you not be the old limit protected protected by by Cisco protected by Palo Alto protected by proof point protected by cyber Protected by all these great companies most importantly Citrix Which used to be just so we know that headed by one of the board members now Is not something a CEO former CEO of Citrix on the board? How could that person continue to allow the CEO to stay CEO?  That's radical. I think that if it just happened under 317 million other maracas watch they be far a lot of interest this morning in ride-sharing companies Alphabet may be investing in Lyft soft bank may be investing in uber. What did you think? Well? I think that That uber is the enemy of alphabet remember they feel like that Waymo some of the Intellectual property was stolen so it's natural that they're going to fund the opposition naturally Do these investments perhaps signal more reason for them to stay private? Well, I know we had that blue bottle quote From Nestle when Nestle bought a stake of them saying it's just it's living hell basically to be public to be private I'd be public and we're staying private. I don't know I'm I do think that everybody deserves some liquidity use in it Maybe this is a liquidity event. Some of the people got it earlier like a TPG might be able to get out In uber. I don't know. I mean these remember private companies. We don't really know what's going on inside We don't know meanwhile Oracle reported better than expected earnings, but guidance was light Well, I think our Johnson has a remarkable piece on Oracle that really explains Exactly what happened he was mentioning that 70 70 times they talked about the cloud the previous quarter So therefore what happened is is that when clouds did not accelerate again? Everyone got a little spoiled and therefore people got disappointed. I think that the people at Oracle It wasn't their fault. I mean Oracle did not necessarily lead us down the primrose path The analysts did and they tried very hard actually to raise numbers and say good things But the fact is is that as Johnson points out there was not a surprise coming from the cloud This prize came from other parts. Is mark Benny off smiling right now. Well mark did tweet you just go look at his tweets Okay, meanwhile in video. What an incredible price target raise at Evercore. Yeah, I mean they went to the what mid 250s at 250 From where it is now. I think whatever course truly recognized is that? Nvidia has been kept down in large part because people use their cards for crypto mining of Bitcoin and with the Chinese cracking down on Bitcoin that meant that a portion of the 10% That is that is the sales of Nvidia that is used for mining would slow But whatever we're putting it out is this is really artificial intelligence story It's really very much a story about graphical user interface and great gaming chips Go look at what take to did take to it really was waiting for to some degree They wanted a perfect game for the new Nvidia chips and we talked a lot about Nvidia on yesterday's conference call telling people They should buy it and I think that that is a way to be able to go back on our car It's gonna look what we said about Nvidia read Johnson's article and I think you'll get the whole story All right now Jim what happens if Nvidia breaks a hundred and seventy four dollars a share already has well You're gonna post more pictures of your dog. Yeah more pictures. Well. We love when you put pictures of your dog Jim Kramer will leave it there. Okay. Thank you so much as always for more information on the stocks to mention Please head back to the street calm
